The year is 1669, a bawdy and troublesome time in England. Theaters

the new king permits, for the first time, actresses to appear on stage.
Audiences often come more to gawk at the female display than to appreciate
dramatic talent. Focusing on five of the most famous of these "playhouse
creatures", the play provides a moving and often comic account of the precarious
lives of Restoration actresses as they struggle for recognition and a new role for

7 smart and sassy crime fiction writers dish on writing and life. It's The View. With bodies.
Saturday, January 7, 2012
The Men of Jungle Red: Part 2
LUCY BURDETTE: As promised on Monday, today we bring you part 2 of the Men of Jungle Red. Ross Hugo-Vidal is Julia's main squeeze--he cooks, he tweets, he facebooks, he fathers--we can't even list all the ways he contributes to Julia's team (and ours too, here at JRW!) I'll let him tell it how it is to be married to a famous crime writer! Take it away Ross--and then pile on with your comments...
ROSS HUGO-VIDAL: Come and get it! Get your Tell-all Expose right here! OK, sure my lovely and talented wife (TM) is a hot-shot New York Times bestseller NOW, after a mere 10 years of hard labor, but let me tell you it hasn't always been Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous around our house. Actually its not now either, but hey, that's utterly beside the point. Lets call it Lifestyles of the Cyclically Impoverished Rural Mainers.....There, THAT'll bring #Geraldo running!
So, was my lovely and talented (TM) wife born with a silver pen in her mouth? Nope, turns out that 10 years AFTER we married she took a poll of her closest friends and UNANIMOUSLY they told her she should take up writing. She was the last one to know. Actually, I was the last one to know and let's just say it took me awhile to jump aboard the bandwagon. Actually, being a clueless husband, it took me awhile to FIND the bandwagon.
When my lovely and talented (TM) wife's unpublished debut, IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER won the Malice Domestic Contest and the legendary editor Ruth Cavin left a message for her (remember those antediluvian cassette answering machines?) to call back, I (somewhat less than thoughtfully) blurted out "are they a real publisher? For God's sake DON'T send them any money!" Yup, am STILL living that down -- and she has made sure all our children are well aware of it as well...Sorry, honey, that WAS a remarkably dumb thing to say...even for me...and I understand I will have to live with it FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! I began learning the publishing business shortly thereafter.
I WAS a reasonably well-adjusted man of middling years when the bandwagon left the station. Then my lovely and talented (TM) wife HAD TO go and name her character RUSS (Russ/Ross get it?) I just know she did this deliberately. She does almost nothing deliberately but THAT's beside the point..I was sailing through mid-life with nary a (major) crisis in sight. Then she creates a heroic, macho, well-loved character. Totally accurate depiction of course. Trust me. But do you realize the psychic burden of living up to this ideal? DO YOU? It took me awhile to figure out the payback. But I have. I've cleverly morphed into a child-rearing, home-cooking, kiddy-taxi-driving, birthday-partying house-hubby New Man of the 21st Century who loves TWILIGHT (Zone)! Take THAT, woman! Captain America's got nothing on me!
Raising kids with a crime writer? My lovely and talented (TM) wife INVENTED the reality show. WE LIVE IN ONE. She just neglected the part about cameras and income stream. So I walk in the door with our (fortunately well-grounded; mostly; well, maybe not so much...) children to see Julia wiping up a pool of red, viscous fluid from the middle of the wooden floor. Arms stained red. Me: Ummmm, honey, what exactly are you doing? Julia: Research...one beat, two beat, cue maniacal laugh. We fled in disarray to the grocery store. I began learning to cook shortly thereafter.
But I know I'm safe, because I have a duplicate copy of her VERY first book, a sci-fi novel that she has sworn shall never see the light of day. And if anything were to happen to me...Actually if something mysterious DOES happen to me, somebody please call my brother and tell him I left the you-know-what in a suitcase under the bed. With pictures of us literally gluing together Julia's first postcards to libraries and bookstores on the living room table in 2002 (that's when I discovered gluesticks. Lots of gluesticks). Gosh, I love social media! I don't even have to call a reporter to take out an insurance policy..
You know what my Lovely and Talented (TM) wife REALLY wants to write? Romance. And erotica. Not necessarily in that order. Maybe both if you could actually combine them. And if you think she's a terrific MYSTERY writer...Ummm, Hey Honey, was I supposed to run this piece by you BEFORE I hit the button? Ummm, OK, yep, I'm just finishing up. What, uh oh. Errr, Folks" about everything you just read? Umm, never mind...and remember, if you don't hear from me...call my...urkk.

Well, it's pretty clear there are TWO talented writers in the Spencer-Fleming cyclically-impoverished-no-longer household. Ross, Bravo!
- January 7, 2012 at 9:12 AM
- Julia said...
What Ross doesn't mention is that he makes dinner, bakes pies and cakes, keeps the kids quiet when I'm taking a Sunday afternoon nap and brings me tea just the way I like it. Plus, of course, he has a big red beard.
Am I lucky, or am I lucky? - January 7, 2012 at 9:25 AM

I think you're BOTH lucky, and once a day, climb out on my roof to shout out LONG LIVE TEAM PEPPERONI! Which alarms my wife and most of the neighborhood, but helped me find that loose shingle after our most recent wind storm.

We are all lucky to have Ross on our Jungle Red team!
And I think Julia better watch out. Do you know how many women out there would KILL for a man who makes dinner, bakes pies and cakes, and brings cups of tea????
Just don't tell me he vacuums, too! Sigh.... - January 7, 2012 at 12:07 PM

Ross you are so funny! I hope to hear more from you. By the way I had my daughter do the fake blood on a wood floor to make a cover for one of my e books.

- Tammy said...
Awesome. Just awesome. I love the team that is the two of you. And I'm going to give this to my husband to read for inspiration....
- January 7, 2012 at 12:31 PM
- LinhiePooh said...
I'm with you Hallie!
@Julia, your household is clearly marked with not one but two brilliant writers. And, maybe more?! I'm curious as to what your children might say in interviews. Hmmmm...
@Ross, you brought a smile to my face. Actually, its more of a good 5 minutes straight of laughter. You're simply too charming for words. Through Russ and that bit we just read, I'm sure we've all fallen a little bit in love with you.
@Julia, no worries, we know who holds ownership of that particular heart. You're one lucky woman! - January 7, 2012 at 12:57 PM
- Julia said...
He just finished vacuuming to spiff up for our dinner guests tonight. In fact, when our youngest was still very small, she referred to the vacuum cleaner as "Daddy's machine" -- which goes to show you how much I ever use it.
And yes, I've told Ross before that if I pass on before him, my corpse will be trampled underfoot by the many, many women eager to bring him casseroles and comfort. - January 7, 2012 at 12:57 PM
- AnnOxford said...
Ross, Julia, bless you both! The love and the laughter comes through, so grateful you shared that. But, Julia, romance/erotica — really? Not that you wouldn't do it beautifully. But I'm not ready to say goodbye to Clare and Russ just yet.
- January 7, 2012 at 1:29 PM
- Darlene Ryan said...
Julia, how did the two of you meet? I'm hoping for a funny story, BTW.
- January 7, 2012 at 1:40 PM
You think the Ross/Russ thing is awkward? My maiden name is Sherrell, and my beloved created a character named Sh'rill, who was an alien with three breasts. Drew some odd looks and comments when we went to SF conventions together.
- January 7, 2012 at 1:46 PM

Gigi! Ahhh...howling!
And Lucy--Jeff will be here soon..watch this space! - January 7, 2012 at 2:03 PM

I can only imagine the word tossing that goes on around your house. Absolutely charming, and a lively marriage, I'll bet.
- January 7, 2012 at 2:15 PM
- Linda Rodriguez said...
Julia, You ARE lucky! Obviously a match made in... well, somewhere up north and very, very cold.
Ross, I love the "cyclically impoverished household." Sounds like my own. LOL
And Julia wants to write romance and erotica? That speaks well for you, Ross. ;-) - January 7, 2012 at 3:11 PM
- Donis Casey said...
I met Ross when he came with Julia to Bouchercon in Ancorage in 2007. He was looking for a copy of a book that he thought Julia would like! We sat and talked for quite a while as though he had known me for years. He is as warm and outgoing in person as he is on paper (on electronic media?)

Hi Ross,
I nearly dialed 9-1-1 for you...but you're already infamous around here for your baking and cooking prowess, if nothing else!;)
Y'all are a very entertaining couple. Enjoyed this post! Thanks for the laughs. - January 7, 2012 at 4:48 PM

Violent Series trigger for the DLX Technology LUXE marker. This trigger is made of Delrin so it is super lightweight and very responsive. The "Scythe" shape of the trigger flows with the natural bends in your fingers and is ergonomically correct. This trigger uses dual precision bearings for the pivot point. The front face of the trigger has a full radius that runs the entire length of the trigger. The radius on the front gives you a comfortable contact point with your fingers, not a flat front and corner edge like other triggers on the market. The trigger is only available in black; this is due to the nature of the material.

Is Time Warner Cable's Interest In Dodgers Ownership Merely About TV Rights?
Time Warner Cable "does not really want to own the Dodgers" despite earlier this week formally expressing an interest to bid for the team, as it is more interested in broadcasting Dodgers games "on its two new sports channels, set to launch later this year," according to Shaikin & Flint of the L.A. TIMES. Sources said that the company "has signaled to at least some prospective owners its interest in securing those television rights, in whatever way might make the most financial sense to the owner." The company in essence is "exploring whether it would be more prudent to wait for the TV rights to come on the market -- with potential owners well aware of what would be a bidding war between Fox and TWC -- or pursue ownership of some or all of the team" (LATIMES.com, 1/5).
TORRE A GOOD PICK: Joe Torre this week resigned from his post as MLB Exec VP/Baseball Operations to pursue an ownership opportunity with the Dodgers, and in DC, Dick Heller wrote if Torre and "his pals succeed, with Joe becoming chief of baseball operations, it could be the best news for Dodgers fans since Sandy Koufax learned how to throw strikes." It is "hard to root against Torre," as he would be "the best possible choice to oversee baseball operations for the Bums and possibly the best choice to restore a club that has fallen on hard times" since the McCourts bought the club in '04 (WASHINGTON TIMES, 1/5). -
Cougar Town: Bobcats To Honor ABA Team During Five Home Games This Season
The Bobcats will celebrate the region's ABA history by wearing retro Carolina Cougars jerseys for five games this season, according to industry sources. The promo is tied to a league-wide campaign in which NBA teams such as the Bobcats and Clippers will honor the local ABA heritage over the course of the regular season. The Bobcats will wear Cougars jerseys for the first time Feb. 11 against the Clippers at Time Warner Cable Arena. adidas, the NBA's official apparel supplier, will produce the retro jerseys. The club will theme five games as Hardwood Classic Nights with special ticket packages including a Carolina Cougars T-shirt. Those ticket prices have not been set, team officials said. A limited line of Carolina Cougars-branded jerseys, T-shirts and hats will be made available at the Bobcats' team store. The retro theme for those five games will extend to game-day entertainment, arena graphics and concessions pricing. The Bobcats' four other Hardwood Classic games are against the Pacers (Feb. 22), Nets (March 9), Bucks (March 23) and Nuggets (March 30). The Pacers and Nets were original members of the ABA. The Bobcats have two connections to the Cougars -- President & COO Fred Whitfield, a Greensboro native, was a ball boy for the Cougars and Senior Community Affairs Advisor Carl Scheer served as Cougars President & GM. The Cougars were in existence from '69-74 and played their home games in Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh. The team moved to St. Louis before the ABA dissolved two years later.
Franchise Notes
ESPN.com's Adam Schefter cited a source as saying that the Raiders will hire Packers Dir of Football Operations Reggie McKenzie "as their next general manager." The two sides are "still ironing the details of McKenzie's role and his powers within the organization." McKenzie was a Raiders LB from '85-88 (ESPN.com, 1/5). He cannot formally accept any job until the Packers have been eliminated from the postseason (THE DAILY).
MEETING OF THE MINDS: In Tampa Bay, Michael Van Sickler reports St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster and Rays Owner Stuart Sternberg "will meet Jan. 17, breaking several months of silence between the two people with the most control over the club's future at Tropicana Field." The pair will meet in St. Petersburg. The last time Sternberg and Foster met "was May, when the two spoke for about an hour after a baseball game." Their last "formal meeting was in the summer of 2010." Foster contends that the "current location is viable and that if the Rays try to negotiate for a new home outside Pinellas County it would violate the team's contract with the city" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 1/6).
COMING UP TO BAT: The Mets in a statement Thursday said that they "had hired CRG Partners, a firm known as a turnaround specialist and bankruptcy consultant, to provide 'services in connection with financial reporting and budgeting processes.'" In N.Y., Richard Sandomir notes during the '10 bankruptcy of the Rangers, William Snyder, a "managing partner of CRG, was the team's court-appointed chief restructuring officer." The Mets' statement "offered no details about their need for CRG's expertise" (N.Y. TIMES, 1/6).

In DC, Nathan Fenno noted a "years-long effort to cancel six Washington Redskins' federal trademarks is scheduled for trial next month before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board." The petition by "five Native Americans, Blackhorse vs. Pro-Football, Inc., asserts the team's name and logo are offensive." Filed in '06, it is "identical to an earlier case, Harjo vs. Pro-Football, Inc." The trial is "scheduled to start in late February, ruled on by a panel of three administrative trademark judges." Each side has "30 days to present testimony, followed by a 15-day rebuttal period for the petitioners" (WASHINGTON TIMES, 1/5).

Student Conduct
Students enrolled at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University are expected to conduct themselves properly at all times. They are expected to observe standards of behavior and integrity that will reflect favorably upon themselves, their families, and the University. They are further expected to abide by the laws of the city, state, and nation, and by all rules and regulations of the University.
Accordingly, any student who demonstrates an unwillingness to obey the rules and regulations that are prescribed or that may be prescribed to govern the student body will be placed on probation, suspended or expelled from the institution.
Sanctions of expulsion and suspension affect the student's academic status at the University. In order that students under suspension not contravene the terms of penalty, the offices of Admissions, Cashier, Financial Aid, Graduate School, Registrar, Residence Life and University Police will be notified in writing. No credit earned at another institution during the suspension period shall be transferred to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. A student under expulsion or suspension is subject to arrest for trespassing if found on University property. A student who is suspended or expelled from the University for disciplinary reasons is not eligible for a refund and forfeits any funds previously paid.
A student who loses campus- housing privileges for disciplinary reasons and has concerns about the financial ramifications of such should contact the Office of Housing and Residence Life for guidelines and shall be governed by those guidelines.
Scheduled university judicial hearings will be held in absentia if the student fails to present him/herself at the scheduled hearing. The administrative hearing body will convene and make a decision based on the evidence at the hearing.
Furthermore, in the case of a student's failure to appear for a hearing, the evidence against the student will be considered and a decision will be based on that evidence.
Should a sanction result from a student's failure to present himself or herself for adjudication of a charge, the offices of Admissions, Cashier, Financial Aid, Graduate School, Registrar, Residence Life and University Police will be notified in writing and the student's transcript will not be released to persons outside the University until the student answers to the charge.
Any one of the following sanctions or their combinations may be imposed:
Expulsion permanently severs the relationship of the student with the University. With recommendation of a hearing panel, it will be imposed and can only be rescinded by the Chancellor. This penalty will likely prevent a student's admission to any other institution of higher education.
Indefinite suspension severs the relationship of the student with the University with no date established for the student to return. A date at which time the student may request reinstatement can be established or may be contingent on a student fulfilling one or more stipulations (e.g. resolution of criminal matters pending in the courts, psychological evaluation).
Interim suspension calls for the immediate removal of a student from the University when there is reasonable cause to believe that the alleged misconduct is of such a serious nature that his or her continued presence at the University is potentially dangerous to the health and safety of the University community, its property or its educational mission. (In cases of violations of the Student Conduct Regulations, to invoke interim suspension, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs or his/her designee will conduct a preliminary investigation and hearing with the student - if possible. In cases of Academic Dishonesty, the Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs or his/her designee will conduct such an investigation. At the time, the student will be informed of the charges and given the opportunity to explain the circumstances.)
Suspension severs the relationship of the student with the University for a finite period, the terminal date of which coincides with the official ending of an academic semester or summer session.
Disciplinary Probation is a period of close scrutiny of a student by the University during which his or her conduct is under review. Disciplinary probation is imposed for a specified period of time, the terminal date of which coincides with the official ending of an academic semester or summer session. Failure to meet the requirement of the probation or further infraction of University policy may result in more severe sanctions including suspension or expulsion from the University. Individuals on Disciplinary probation are not eligible to hold office or obtain membership in any student group or organization; or may not be eligible for certain employment positions or participation in other campus programs.
Warning is an official reprimand, which by formal written communication, gives official notice to a student that any subsequent offense against the Student Conduct Regulations will likely result in more serious consequences. In cases involving violations of the Student Conduct Regulations, a copy of the letter is contained in files of the Division of Student Affairs or in the case of Academic Dishonesty, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and will be available as evidence of relevant past behavior to hearing panels.
In addition to the above, any one or a combination of the following may be recommended by a judicial hearing board and/or imposed by the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs or Dean of Students in Student Conduct Regulations or in cases of Academic Dishonesty, the Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs:
- Requirement of participation in community service
- Restitution, where applicable
- Loss of Campus Housing
- Official notice that conviction of any other violation of the Student Conduct Regulations will result in suspension
- Prohibited from participating in organized groups or activities
- Counseling
- Conflict Management Training
The penalties listed above are examples only and do not limit the discretion of judicial officers.
Students placed on suspension or expulsion are placed in the UNC Statewide Database, per state requirements.
Please note: During the suspension period, records will remain flagged and transcripts will be held until students have complied with University imposed sanctions and until the suspension period is over. In addition, suspensions and expulsions are uploaded to the UNC data base. A suspension or expulsion precludes matriculation at any UNC constituent institution.

Wisconsin recycling studies and reports
Since Wisconsin's recycling law took effect in the mid-1990s, the DNR has used annual reports and surveys to monitor the progress and success of Wisconsin's recycling efforts. These reports and surveys come from local government "responsible unit" recycling programs, material recovery facilities and landfill operators as well as from residential households.
Annual recycling and landfill reports
Annual reports from responsible units and material recovery facilities
Responsible units must submit annual reports to the DNR. These reports must include the amount of recyclable paper and containers collected from one to four family residences. Some Responsible Units may also report on additional recyclables (e.g., carpeting, used oil, etc.). Materials recovery facilities that accept recyclables from responsible units must also submit annual reports to the DNR.
The aggregate data in the following tables, charts and graphs reflect annual report information since 2003. The materials recovery facility data contains both residential and commercial sources of recyclables. A breakdown of these data is available upon request.
- Table of all recyclable materials collected by Wisconsin Responsible Units (2004-2013) [PDF]
- Chart of all recyclable materials collected by Wisconsin Responsible Units (2004-2013) [PDF]
- Graph of Table 1 recyclable materials collected by Wisconsin Responsible Units (2004-2013) [PDF]
- Chart of Table 1 recyclable materials collected by Wisconsin MRFs (2008-2013) [PDF]
- Chart of Table 1 recyclable materials collected by Wisconsin Responsible Units (2008-2013) [PDF]
Other data: economic and environmental
Recycling in Wisconsin has both economic as well as environmental benefits. The market values of the materials diverted from landfills in 2012 annual reports are shown in the Market Value Table below. The other link shows the amount of greenhouse gases reduced by recycling materials rather than landfilling.
- Table of market value of recycled materials collected (2013) [PDF]
- Tables of greenhouse gas emission reductions and emission equivalencies (2013) [PDF]
Annual reports from landfill operators
Landfill operators must submit an annual report to the DNR that includes categories of waste received from Wisconsin and out-of state sources. In the tables below, municipal solid waste (MSW) is the waste generated by residences and commercial establishments. All other waste is considered non-municipal solid waste and is generated primarily by industries.
- Table of Wisconsin and out-of state waste as reported by Wisconsin landfills (2003-2012) [PDF]
- Table of source of out-of-state waste as reported by Wisconsin landfills (2003-2012) [PDF]
- Chart of MSW origins (2003-2012) [PDF]

Other studies and reports
Report on newspaper recycling fee law
n 2014, the DNR commissioned a study of Wisconsin's newspaper recycling fee law, s. 287.31, Wis. Stats. The 1989 law established minimum recycled content for Wisconsin newspaper publishers and imposed a fee for publishers not meeting the minimum content. The study was intended to evaluate the continued relevance of the law in light of newspaper and recycling industry trends in the 25 years since the law was passed.
Wisconsin plastics recycling study results
The DNR commissioned a study, authored jointly by Foth Infrastructure and Environment and by Moore Recycling Associates, to identify actions that can be taken to capture and recycle more of the valuable used plastics that currently end up in landfills. Recovering more of these materials has the potential to create jobs and boost economic development in Wisconsin. Despite a comprehensive statewide recycling program and a strong recycling ethic, hundreds of tons of plastics are still sent to Wisconsin landfills every day; Foth estimates the market value of these landfilled plastics at around $64 million in 2009.
The study lists several actions Wisconsin could take to substantially increase plastics recovery rates. These actions could be implemented individually or as a coordinated approach with priority given to recovery of the most valuable and commonly used plastic containers, such as consumer beverage bottles and containers for household cleaning products.

- Wisconsin Plastics Recycling Study Report [PDF]
- Wisconsin Plastics Recycling Study Appendix [PDF]
Household recycling survey results
The DNR conducts periodic household surveys to assess awareness of and participation in Wisconsin's recycling program. Results for the most recent survey, conducted in 2011, of 667 households across the state confirmed continued strong support for both the state recycling laws and programs. More than 95 percent of households surveyed are committed to recycling at home, and 85 percent support state laws governing recycling.
According to the survey results, residents recycle because it protects the environment and preserves landfill space (97 percent), reuses materials (98 percent) and reduces pollution (95 percent). More than 90 percent are aware that recycling helps the economy by creating jobs and providing new or expanded business opportunities.

- Summary report of the 2006 household survey [PDF]
Waste composition and characterization studies
The DNR periodically contracts for studies to assess the status of recycling in Wisconsin.
Most recently, the DNR contracted for a statewide waste composition study in 2009. This study was performed by MidAtlantic Solid Waste Consultants, LLC, under contract to Recycling Connections Corporation based out of Stevens Point. The results of this study, combined with 2009 recycled tonnage reports from responsible units and materials recovery facilities, suggest Wisconsin residents and businesses maintain a strong commitment to recycling, with progress in reducing the landfilled tonnages of some materials. The study shows opportunities still exist to improve recycling rates for other materials.
Prior waste characterization studies are available upon request.

How to Lactate
Three Methods:Understanding Induced LactationStimulating Milk ProductionIncreasing the Volume of Milk
Lactation is the production of milk in female mammary glands, and occurs naturally during pregnancy and post-pregnancy breastfeeding. Women may want to induce lactation if they are planning on adopting a baby or if they agree to be a surrogate nurse for a baby whose biological mother cannot breastfeed. Lactation is governed by pituitary hormones (as opposed to ovarian hormones) and, therefore, any woman can stimulate lactation, regardless of her obstetric or gynecological history. You do not necessarily have to go to a doctor or to take any special medications to start producing your own breast milk. Just follow these instructions for how to induce lactation.
Method 1 of 3: Understanding Induced Lactation
1Understand how induced lactation is possible. Although it may seem surprising, it is indeed possible for women who are not or have not been pregnant to produce breast milk. This is usually undertaken by a mother who wishes to feed her adopted baby.
- The body's production of breast milk is usually triggered by the complex interactions between three hormones - estrogen, progesterone and prolactin - during pregnancy.
- If the production of these hormones can be mimicked through physical stimulation and/or hormone supplements, then breast milk can be produced outside of pregnancy.[1]
- Prolactin ( the main hormone involved in milk production) is produced in the pituitary gland, not the ovaries. Therefore, it is possible for women to induce lactation even if their uterus has been removed. However, the induced lactation process is usually more successful in women who have previously been pregnant.
- The induced lactation process can take several months, so it is a good idea to begin the process as soon as you have an idea of your adopted baby's arrival date. Adoptive mothers have the greatest chance of their baby "latching-on" successfully if the baby is younger than three months.[2]
Ad -
2Understand the pros and cons. Inducing the production of breast milk is a huge undertaking, so the pros and cons should be carefully weighed before any final decisions are made.
- Pros: Obviously the main advantage of producing your own breast milk is the benefit it will have for the baby. Breast milk contains important antibodies, proteins, fats and vitamins that will help your baby to grow and gain weight, and fight off infections and disease. In addition, breast feeding is wonderful, intimate way for mother and baby to bond. This is especially true when the baby is adopted, as the bonding process can take time. This is also the most natural method of feeding your baby, and can eliminate the need to use store-bought formulas which may contain chemicals.[3]
- Cons: The major drawbacks of induced lactation mainly involve the time and effort required to be successful. Stimulating the production of milk requires huge dedication and commitment, as breast pumping and stimulation needs to be performed 6 to 12 times a day, including night-time sessions which involve waking up in the early a.m. This process can be painful and uncomfortable on your breasts, and if you're using hormone therapies, you may experience mood swings and disruptions to your menstrual cycle.[4]
3Prepare for the changes that will take place in your body. Before you begin the process of inducing lactation, it's important to aware of what will happen to your body, and the possible side effects.
- The side effects of induced lactation will be more severe if you are taking hormones, as you are essentially tricking your body into thinking you are pregnant. You can expect enlarged breasts, swollen or sore nipples and irregular menstruation.
- You will probably experience fatigue and increased hunger, as your body believes it is eating for two. You should increase your calorie intake by about 200 calories per day, but try to make healthy food choices in order to minimize weight gain.
- You may also experience mood swings and periods of depression and anger. This is why it is helpful to have a supportive partner, friend or family member to help you through the process and to remind you of the importance of the end goal. Your sex drive may also be affected by the hormones.
Method 2 of 3: Stimulating Milk Production
1Start taking hormones. There are a number of different hormones that can be used to simulate pregnancy and stimulate the production of breast milk.
- The most widely used hormone is domperidone, which suppresses the body's production of dopamine and therefore indirectly increases the amount of prolactin in your system, which is the hormone directly responsible for breast development and the production of milk.
- Sometimes, additional hormones are recommended for use alongside the domperidone, such as estrogen and progesterone. Having higher amounts of these hormones in your system helps to mimic your body's natural state during pregnancy. If you are under the age of 35, you can take these hormones using the estrogen-progesterone combination birth control pill.
- If you have time before the arrival of your adopted child, it is recommended that you begin your "fake pregnancy" six to nine months in advance (however, there are accelerated programs for people with less time). Start taking the three hormones recommended above, following the dosages recommended by a qualified lactation consultant.
- Keep taking the hormones over the course of several months, until approximately six weeks before the baby's arrival. Then you should abruptly stop taking the progesterone and estrogen, thus tricking your body into believing you have given birth.
- Keep taking the domperidone and begin physical stimulation of the breasts using an electric pump or other manual techniques. The milk should start to arrive in as little as a few days, or as long as two weeks. Once it arrives, you should continue taking the domperidone until you achieve a substantial milk supply, or the baby is ready to be weaned.[5]
- Taking hormones without adequate medical supervision can result in serious side-effects. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you set up an appointment with a qualified lactation consultant at a hospital or clinic before you start the process.[6]
2Use an electric breast pump. If you are using the hormone method of inducing lactation, you will also need to use a breast pump. However, it is sometimes possible to produce breast milk using the pump alone, although it can take a little longer.
- Physical stimulation of the nipples triggers the release of the prolactin hormone, which aids in the development of the mammary glands and stimulates milk production. It also releases oxytocin, the key hormone necessary for the release, or "let down", of milk.
- The best equipment for the job is a hospital-grade electric breast pump, which allows you to pump both breasts at the same time. These are expensive, but are worth the money if you consider the amount of time you'll spend using them. You can also use hand pumps, however the motorized versions are better at simulating the sucking motions of an infant.
- If you decide to go down the breast pump only route, you will need to begin pumping at least two months before the arrival of the baby. You will need to set a strict schedule, pumping every 2 to 3 hours, for 15 to 20 minutes at a time.
- You will also need to include at least one nighttime pumping session, as your body's natural prolactin levels are highest between 1 am and 5am, so it's important to take advantage of this fact.
- Before you begin pumping, use your hands to to gently massage your breasts and nipples. This will make them erect and ready for pumping. Apply the pump to both breasts simultaneously, doing your best to keep your nipples centered.
- Turn the pump on to a low suction and high speed, as this best mimics the rapid suckling motion of a baby. As you get used to pumping, you can gradually increase to a medium suction, or as high as you can comfortably go without making your nipples sore.
- Don't panic if you're not seeing any milk at first. It can take weeks before you see a single drop. Just stay calm and focused and stick to your schedule - the milk will come.[7]
3Stimulate milk production manually. Instead of using a breast pump, it is possible to induce lactation by hand, using nipple stimulation and breast massage.
- Producing breast milk this way will take more time and require greater effort than the previous two methods, but it is more natural than using hormones and cheaper than buying a breast pump.
- In terms of technique, you will need to use both hands to massage around the entire breast - almost as if you were giving yourself a breast exam. Then you will need to stimulate your nipples and areolas using your fingers and thumbs, massaging them and rolling them between your fingers. Try to press the areolas as you pull the nipples, as this is the motion that best replicates an infant's sucking.
- You will need to do this at least 8 times a day (including one night time session) for about 20 minutes at a time. If you feel comfortable with it, you can enlist the help of your partner or a close friend to massage with you. In order to have milk in time for the baby's arrival, you will need to start this process at least two months in advance.
- As you get closer to producing milk, you will need to lean over, so both of your breasts are pointed towards the floor. Gently shake your breasts, as this allows any potential milk to make its way towards the nipples.
- You may find it necessary to purchase a nipple lubricant or balm to protect your nipples from chaffing and becoming sore. However, the matter how sore your nipples become, it's important not to give up. Try to persevere and remember how how glad you will be once your baby arrives.
4Allow your baby to suckle. If your baby has already arrived but you still have not produced any breast milk, don't worry. Allowing your baby to suckle on your nipple, even if they are not receiving any milk, will help to speed up the process.
- Instead of pumping or manually stimulating your breasts, simply allow your baby to latch on. A baby's natural sucking motion is the best possible way of stimulating the hormones necessary to produce milk. That's because the entire experience - from the feeling of the baby's mouth on your nipple to the suckling sounds your baby makes - feels a lot more real than pumping or manual stimulation.[8]
- In fact, the production of breast milk is as much a psychological process as a physical one. The knowledge that your baby is present and needs milk can be enough to trigger a natural let down response from your body.
- The only issue with this method is that babies can become frustrated if they are attempting to feed but are not receiving any milk. To solve this problem, you can invest in a lactation aid. This is a simple device, consisting of a tube that attaches to the mother's nipple on one end and a bag of formula on the other. In this way, the baby receives food while the nipple is stimulated, eventually allowing the mother to produce her own milk.
- Even if you never achieve a full milk supply, the simple act of breast feeding your baby is an important and irreplaceable bonding experience, which allows you to connect with your adopted child in a special and intimate way. When you look at it this way, any milk you produce is a bonus.
- If your baby has not yet arrived, you can still use the suckling method to induce lactation - you just need to get your partner to do it instead. This requires a huge commitment from both partners, but can be quite effective and can actually create a deeper connection between the two of you. Some couples also do this for erotic reasons, even when there is no baby involved. However, if you are doing it for milk, it is essential that your partner learns the correct latching on and suckling technique, and that you stick to a strict schedule.[9]
Method 3 of 3: Increasing the Volume of Milk
1Take herbal supplements. Many women recommend herbal supplements to naturally increase the supply of breast. The most popular and effective herbs are fenugreek seed and blessed thistle herb.
- In terms of dosage, it is recommended that you take three capsules of fenugreek seed (containing 390mg per capsule) and three capsules of blessed thistle herb (containing 610mg per capsule) three times a day, with food. You should start taking these supplements as soon as you start pumping milk.
- You can also purchase an herbal tea known as "Mother's Milk", which contains a blend fennel, coriander, fenugreek, blessed thistle and aniseed. It tastes like licorice and can be sweetened with honey or sugar, if desired. It should be drunk up to three times a day, directly before feedings.
- In addition to encouraging increased milk production, this tea may also help to reduce gas and colic symptoms in babies.[7]
2Drink lots of water. Water is used in the production of breast milk, therefore it is very important to stay hydrated throughout the breast feeding process.
- It is recommended that breast-feeding mothers drink between 6 and 8 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration. You can also drink herbal teas and eat fruit and veg with a high water content to increase hydration.
- You can tell if you are dehydrated by looking at the color of your urine. It will be very light or straw yellow in color if you are adequately hydrated and will be dark yellow if you are dehydrated.
- It's a good idea to cut back on coffee and other caffeinated drinks while you are breastfeeding, as these are diuretics which cause rapid fluid loss.[5]
3Eat oatmeal. A common recommendation for breastfeeding mothers is to eat oatmeal in order to increase milk supply.
- There isn't much scientific evidence to explain why, but many breastfeeding moms notice an increase in their milk production on days when they eat oatmeal for breakfast.
- Some theories include the fact that oatmeal contains high levels of iron and helps to reduce cholesterol - both of which are important for healthy milk production.
- Aside from those reasons, oatmeal is a warming comfort food which provides lots of energy - two things that new mothers definitely need.[10]
4Get into the right frame of mind. If your baby has not yet arrived and you are finding it difficult to increase your milk supply, then you may need to work on the psychological side of lactation.
- As you are pumping or manually stimulating your breasts, it's important to focus on the reason you are doing it - to feed your baby. This will help your body's natural maternal instincts to kick in and promote milk production and let down.
- If you are having trouble visualizing the need for milk, you can use some props to help you. Hold a photo of the baby you are adopting, watch videos of mothers nursing their babies online, or listen to the sound of a baby suckling. Even holding an article of baby's clothing or a baby blanket can help.[7]
We could really use your help!
electrical maintenance?
rate articles?
motor driven systems?
- Find tutorials for proper sucking technique on the Internet or at the library.
- Once you stimulate lactation, breast milk will appear in droplets at first, then gradually increase to a flow as you continue the breastfeeding process.
- Your emotional mindset is of utmost importance while you are trying to induce lactation. Focus only on the task at hand and try to envision yourself breastfeeding. If you let your mind wander, your pituitary gland will have a harder time producing the hormones necessary for breast milk production.
- Join a breastfeeding support group for emotional support and helpful advice.
- Do not stimulate your breasts for longer than the necessary 20 minutes at a time. Lactation hormones are only released into your system for a maximum of 20 minutes, so anything in excess is unnecessary and likely to cause irritation.
- Be aware that birth control pills contain estrogen, a lactation suppressant.

Product description
After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty in China (1206) the Yuan rulers moved their capital to Dadu (modern Beijing) where they attempted to retain their traditional nomadic lifestyle. This book reveals the extraordinary changes Dadu (and other key Chinese cities of this era) underwent after the Golden Family of Chinggis Khan and their fellow Mongols settled in Dadu, and the impact of their nomadic culture on greater Chinese life and civilization. Cities have played a key role in the history of China and the changes from the Yuan Dynasty period are particularly important. This new book highlights the key aspects of urban life between 1206 and 1368, such as dwelling, clothing, diet, transportation, marriage, and customs, plus it reveals exactly how the formally nomadic rulers of this era viewed and judged the cities they discovered and then transformed. Now available in English outside of China for the very first time, the Insight on Ancient China Series is published by Paths International in association with China's prestigious Hunan People's Publishing House.

Have you tried a secured card? Sometimes, it's getting over the hump of getting the first one that's the most difficult part of building credit with revolving accounts. Secured cards are a great way to get your foot in the door, avoiding the excessive fee cards as well. And, despite what seems to be a well-established fear, "secured cards" (even if they report to your credit report that way) aren't counted with lesser weight.

I find it interesting that the Cowboys, who have one of the 'next gen' turf fields, are at the worst end of both lists. Other next gen fields, like Seattle, Detroit, Buffalo and Atlanta, fared much better.

so what kind of playing surface is the norm? do they vary or are you more talking about the standard to which the same kind of surfaces are being kept?
over here it's pretty much just grass, they have only just allowed synthetic pitches, but there aren't any in the football league and only 1 in scotland. another thing that has started to become an issue is that as the stadiums over here are typically steeply tiered and cornered in rather than 'bowl' or 'oval' shaped, as the stadiums are becoming bigger and bigger, they grow taller by an incredible rate, which can block out the sun, leading to the grass not growing properly. also, how often are pitches replaced? chester aint changed their pitch in the 12 years they've played at their current stadium, while the big clubs very rarely change them if something really bad happens. |

There is no "norm" as such.
Teams that have artificial playing surfaces are moving away from Astro Turf and more towards Field Turf; Field Turf is considerably better than Astro Turf because it has a lot more "give" to it. Teams that use grass tend to have problems with their fields late in the season.

Up until about 5-7 years ago, if a field was artificial, it was plain AstroTurf: a concrete floor with a plastic mat laid across it. Players would seriously injure themselves when planting their feet because the turf would not let their foot 'slip', so as a result you had lots of torn ligaments, etc etc etc.
Then, folks started making artificial turf (FieldTurf, NexTurf) that had a rubberized base, with very long blades of 'grass', the net effect being a more accurate simulation of not only grass in appearance, but in function, i.e. less concussions from heads hitting concrete, and less torn ligaments. That's it in a nutshell. The old Astroturf fields were typically replaced every ten years. Growing up in Dallas, I can recall when you'd go into Texas Stadium for the first pre-season game after they laid a new surface, and the vivid green would stand out from your memory of the faded old green. Oh, and also they'd try to sell you little souvenir squares of the old turf cut into 1" square pieces, the greedy bastiches. I'm not sure about the lifespan of the new fields. As for sun, real grass, and tall stadiums, yeah, we have that problem with Reliant. The south end zone is in perpetual shade. They have to rotate the field out to the parking lot, is my understanding. I'll shut up now and go to bed. Glen |

I notice the field does look crappy at the end of the year just like every other team's. I would like to see some field turf in Reliant though ..... like Seattle's and Baltimore's . Those two teams field's look really good , I like the dark color . But when you look at N.O and Atlanta's they look REALLY fake . Are there different types of field turf ?

It is basically a hybrid bermuda and ryegrass mix. You can overseed with ryegrass to keep the green appearance during the winter months but the more ryegrass you use the more slippery the field becomes. |

Seems the Steelers players had the same familiarity with FieldTurf (in their practice facility) and also did not want to put it on Heinz Field:

This shouldn't be a suprise. It's a brand new (EXPENSIVE)stadium. Brand new field, and we have a retracting roof. So the field does not take as much punishment as the other grass fields.

I find this all very interesting, considering that Charley Casserly, in response to a question by a listener on 610 AM, said that the field at Reliant for the Cleveland game was "totally unacceptable". And he had conviction, if not downright anger in his voice when he said it.
He went on the say that next season, the "county" will be buying an additional 700 trays of turf to go from one and a half to two and a half football fields worth of trays that can be changed out. He said that he "hoped" that it would fix the "problem". But instead of conviction, he had the tone of resignation in his voice. I got the distinct impression that he's pissed off that he's got no control over the field situation, and that they're pouring more money down a rathole. |

H.R. 1732 would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to withdraw the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2014, that defines the scope of waters protected by the Clean Water Act (CWA). Under the CWA, EPA and the Corps, along with the states, serve as co-regulators of activities affecting the nation's waters.
H. J. Res. 43 would repeal a recently enacted District of Columbia law. Under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, the Congress has 30 days to disapprove laws enacted by the District of Columbia. CBO estimates that the new District of Columbia law—regarding reproductive health decisions—has no impact on the federal budget. Therefore, CBO estimates that enactment of H. J. Res. 43 would result in no cost to the federal government. Because enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1531 would make individuals serving as temporary employees for federal land management agencies eligible to compete for permanent positions with those agencies under internal merit promotion procedures. CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1472 would authorize appropriations totaling $38 million over the 2016-2018 period for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to modernize the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS). The bill also would establish a committee to develop and submit recommendations for improving the system. CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1472 would cost $37 million over the next five years, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
Enacting this legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
S. 764 would authorize appropriations totaling $544 million over the 2016-2021 period for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to carry out the National Sea Grant College Program, which funds scientific research, education, and public outreach at certain universities related to marine issues. In addition, under the bill the program would provide funds for marine policy fellowships.
H.R. 308 would prohibit gambling (other than social games for prizes of minimal value) on property near Glendale, Arizona that is owned by the Tohono O'odham Nation and held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the tribe. That prohibition would last until 2027. The Tohono O'odham Nation is currently constructing a resort and casino on this property and expects to begin operations within a year.
S. 1031 would amend the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act to clarify the standing of workforce development boards, broaden the primary indicators of performance for the youth employment program authorized by the act, and establish minimum allotment procedures for establishing grants to states for adult employment and training activities. In addition, the bill would clarify terms of membership for the National Council on Disability.
CBO estimates that enacting S. 1031 would not have any budgetary effects; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 336 would authorize the General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to sell certain property in Anchorage, Alaska, for its fair market value. Based on information from NARA and GSA, CBO expects that the property will be sold under current law at some point over the next ten years because the agency has closed its operating facilities in Alaska. Thus, CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would have no significant effect on the federal budget.
H.R. 1158 would authorize the Department of Energy and the directors of its national laboratories to enter into agreements to increase collaboration with non-federal entities for research and technology exchange projects. The legislation would authorize the directors to continue to engage in Agreements for Commercializing Technology (ACT), a pilot program that allows private entities to partner with participating national laboratories for research and development.
H.R. 944 would authorize the appropriation of $27 million annually over the 2016-2020 period for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) National Estuary Program. The legislation also would amend the Clean Water Act to require that grants awarded to state, local, and private entities by EPA are awarded in a competitive manner. CBO estimates that implementing this legislation would cost $116 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts.
Estimated Effects on Direct Spending and Revenues of S. 1009
H.R. 1473 would amend the John F. Kennedy Center Act by authorizing appropriations for maintenance, repair, and security of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, as well as for capital projects for the center. Those activities were previously authorized through fiscal year 2014, and the Congress appropriated a total of $33 million in 2015 for those activities.
S. 615 would establish a Congressional review process for any long-term, comprehensive agreement reached with Iran on that country's nuclear program and would require the Administration to provide several reports and certifications to the Congress if an agreement is reached. Under the bill, the Congress would have a set period to review the agreement during which the President would be barred from providing Iran additional relief from sanctions.
H.R. 1770 would establish a new law to require businesses to take reasonable steps to protect personal information they maintain in electronic form. Further, H.R. 1770 would require those entities, in the event of a breach in their security systems, to notify individuals whose personal information has been accessed and acquired as a result of the breach. Forty-seven states have laws that govern data security; H.R. 1770 would pre-empt many of those statutes.
H.R. 152 would require the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to enter into an agreement with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund (CWHF), a nonprofit organization, to manage wild horses in and around the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge. The wild horse population in the area is currently managed under a similar agreement between USFWS and CWHF. The new agreement would require CWHF to maintain a wild horse population totaling between 110 and 130 and would specify that CWHF is responsible for certain costs associated with managing that population.
Under current law, Class I railroads (there are currently 7 such large railroads in the United States), most passenger rail lines, and any rail lines that transport hazardous materials are required to install and operate by December 31, 2015, certain automated safety equipment to avoid collisions in the event of a mistake by a train operator. This combined use of equipment and wireless communications is known as positive train control. Under provisions of the bill, the 2015 deadline to implement positive train control would be delayed by five years until December 31, 2020.
S. 808 would authorize appropriations for the programs of the Surface Transportation Board (STB), establish the STB as a government agency independent of the Department of Transportation (DOT), and authorize other changes in the agency's operations. Based on information from the STB, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $198 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming the appropriation of the amounts authorized and estimated to be necessary.
Enacting S. 808 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
Estimated Effects on Direct Spending and Revenues of H.R. 1892
Estimated effects on Direct Spending and Revenues of H.R. 1891
H.R. 712 would modify the process used to develop consent decrees and settlement agreements that require federal agencies to take specified regulatory actions. Under the bill, a summary of all such complaints against federal agencies, the terms of consent decrees or settlement agreements, and the awards of attorneys' fees would need to be published and accessible to the public in an electronic format.
H.R. 1731 would largely codify the role of the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center of the Department of Homeland Security in exchanging information about cyber threats with other federal agencies and nonfederal entities. The legislation also would require that certain additional procedures be followed when that information is shared, such as checking for and expunging personal information. Finally, the bill would require several reports to the Congress on cybersecurity information sharing.
H. Con. Res. 25 would authorize the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police and its auxiliary to use the Capitol grounds for two days in May 2015, or on such a date as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration may jointly designate. Because it would require that the sponsors assume responsibility for all expenses and liabilities associated with the event, CBO estimates that passage of H. Con. Res. 25 would result in no significant cost to the federal government.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1690 would have no significant impact on the federal budget and would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 172 would have no significant impact on the federal budget and would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
H. Con. Res. 21 would authorize the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby Association to use the Capitol grounds on June 20, 2015, or on such a date as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration may jointly designate. Because the association would assume responsibility for all expenses and liabilities associated with the event, CBO estimates that passage of H. Con. Res. 21 would result in no significant cost to the federal government.
Based on language received on April 15, 2015, file name GOE15258
S. 754 would require the government to establish procedures to be followed when information on cyber threats is shared between the government and nonfederal entities. The bill also would require the government to audit the process for sharing information and would require additional reports to the Congress on cyber information sharing. CBO anticipates that approximately 20 additional personnel would be needed to administer the program, prepare the required reports and manage the exchange of information.
H.R. 1560 would establish within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) a center that would be responsible for analyzing and integrating information from the intelligence community related to cyber threats. In addition, the bill would require the government to establish procedures for sharing information and data on cyber threats between the federal government and nonfederal entities. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $186 million over the 2016-2020 period, assuming appropriation of the estimated amounts.
H.R. 1367 would amend the Expedited Funds Availability Act to include American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Specifically, accounts at and checks drawn on commercial banks in those territories would be subject to banking regulations that limit hold periods and the use of holds.
H.R. 348 would amend the Administrative Procedures Act, the law that governs how federal agencies propose and establish regulations. Specifically, the bill would aim to expedite the review process required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for construction projects that are partly or fully financed with federal funds or require permits or approvals from federal regulatory agencies.
