Ravi's Story: Coping With Back Pain and Depression
Ravi's story
Ravi thought he was coping well with his back pain. He had gotten used to having pain most days since he hurt his back in college while playing rugby. He figured some amount of pain would always be part of his life.
But over a couple of months, Ravi stopped going out with friends after work. He didn't go on bike rides with his son the way he used to. He snapped at his wife in a way he never had before.
"I started feeling sad and angry a lot," Ravi recalls. "I didn't want to do anything. My back was hurting more. I was having trouble focusing on my work. My life just started feeling smaller and smaller."
Ravi had slipped into depression.
Link between depression and back pain
"My wife begged me to see my doctor, because she saw all these changes in my personality," Ravi says. "When my doctor told me I was depressed, I saw it as a flaw in my character. And I didn't want to take any medicine. I thought it was something I could just power through, like I had powered through my back pain for the past 20 years."
Ravi's doctor convinced him to take antidepressants. "He told me it could take a month or more for the medicine to work. He suggested that in the meantime I see a counselor to talk about how I was feeling. I was even less excited about that than I was about the medicine," he says with a laugh.
But the counselor helped him see the link between his back pain and depression. "She said living with pain all the time can wear you down and make you depressed. And the depression can actually make your pain worse. That is true for me. The more down I get, the worse my back feels."
The counselor made a guided imagery recording that Ravi could use to help him relax when he felt upset or anxious. Ravi noticed that when he got upset, his muscles would tighten and increase his pain.

Final Score: Milwaukee 2, Miami 0
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Carlos Gomez and Juan Francisco each homered to back a strong performance from Kyle Lohse, and the Milwaukee Brewers earned a 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins Friday at Miller Park.
The Brewers had only five hits, but two of them reached the seats to provide Lohse (6-7) with all the support he would need.
The right-hander spun six scoreless innings of five-hit ball while striking out five. John Axford, Jim Henderson and Francisco Rodriguez each fired a scoreless frame as well, with the latter picking up his 10th save.
"Its always nice to have a two-run lead, especially when you go into the late innings," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke.
Ryan Braun returned to the Milwaukee lineup after playing in just one of his team's last 32 games. However, he went 0-for-3 and was replaced in left field to start the seventh inning.
Jacob Turner (3-2) surrendered both homers and allowed five hits and four walks over five innings for the Marlins, who ended the first half by winning 19 of their last 33 games. Adeiny Hechavarria went 3-for-3 in the setback.
"Very happy once again with the way we pitched," said Miami manager Mike Redmond. "Turner had to grind, but at the end of the day he did a nice job. They got the big hits and we didn't."
Francisco ended the scoreless tie by leading off the fourth inning with a solo home run to left center. The Brewers had a chance to tack on more in the frame, but Jean Segura grounded out to end the inning and strand a pair of runners.
Gomez doubled Milwaukee's edge in the fifth with his 15th home run of the season, a laser that just stayed inside the left-field foul pole.
The Marlins didn't record their first -- and only -- extra-base hit until the sixth, when Logan Morrison reached with a two-out double. However, Marcell Ozuna left him at second by flying out to end the inning.
Miami was 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and managed just a single hit against the Brewers' bullpen.
Game Notes
Turner has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his nine starts since being called up on May 31 ... Segura, Jonathan Lucroy and Jeff Bianchi had the only other hits for Milwaukee ... Segura swiped two bags and now has 29 stolen bases on the season.

Pune: Civic officials have advised people to stay alert as the first serious case of swine flu infection was reported this month. With pre-monsoon showers lashing the city and doctors warning against the rise in viral infections such as Influenza A, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) authorities state that though swine flu infection has become endemic, it is still a life- threatening infection like dengue fever. the civic body also advises Punekars to take precautionary measures to ward off swine flu. The disease is back into focus after a 43-year-old woman from Loni Kalbhor in Pune district was diagnosed as swine flu positive on June 5 and was put on ventilator support after her condition became critical, however she has passed away on Monday, 16 June.
"The patient's symptoms such as fever, dry cough among others started on May 26. But it wasn't until June 2 that she was admitted to a hospital in Wagholi. After her condition became severe, she was referred to Ruby Hall Clinic where she was put on ventilator support," said a civic official.
According to Dr S T Pardeshi, the medical officer at PMC, so far, nine cases of swine flu have been reported by city hospitals to PMC. However, in most of the cases, the patients are residents living out of Pune. Even the infection rate of the disease, till date, has been quite less- only nine in 444 samples sent to the National Institute of Virology were positive for H1N1.
In the last one week, four Pune residents have died of swine flu, while seven patients are in critical state and on ventilator support at different hospitals.
"Since this is the season for spurt in viral infections, our advice to all physicians is to take cases of swine flu seriously despite of it being endemic," said Pardeshi.
He added that delay in seeking treatment has been the cause for most swine flu deaths reported in Pune city.
"It is important that citizens be alert and ensure that any fever that last beyond two days is investigated," added Pardeshi.
How can you stay away from H1N1
People with compromised immunity are more susceptible to fatalities
Risk factors include include obesity, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and immuno suppression, liver disorders, pregnancy, hypertension and neurological disorders
People should wash their hands frequently, cover face while sneezing or when someone sneezes
Eat and sleep well

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took part in an event leading up to the laying of the foundation of a 182-metre iron and bronze structure of India's first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, on his 138th birth anniversary.
This statue, which is being constructed at a cost of Rs. 2,074 crore, will be twice the size of the Statue of Liberty in the United States.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran Lal Krishna Advani, who represents Gujarat in the Lok Sabha, is the chief guest on the occasion. The statue is to be built on an island called Sadhu Bet on the river Narmada in Gujarat, the home state of both Sardar Patel and Modi.
The inauguration has been preceded by a war of words between the BJP and Congress over Sardar Patel's legacy.
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and Modi were locked in an ideological battle over Sardar Patel. Modi wished that the 'Iron Man' had been India's first prime minister and Dr. Singh underlining that Patel was a Congress leader and secular to the core.
In a veiled attack on Jawaharlal Nehru, Modi said on Tuesday the country's destiny would have been different if Sardar Patel had become the country's first Prime Minister. Modi, who shared the dais with the Prime Minister in Ahmedabad, credited Patel with uniting the country after Independence. "That unity and integrity of the country today is under threat from all fronts, be it terrorism or Maoism," he said.
The BJP's prime ministerial candidate, while citing the example of Punjab, said that those resorting to violence would not succeed in the country of Mahatma Gandhi and Patel. "I want to tell the misguided youth who resort to bombs and guns that they cannot succeed in the land of Gandhi and Sardar (Patel). They cause harm to the country. But the biggest harm is caused to their own communities," he said.
Modi said Patel was a 'visionary' who could think about reservation for women way back in 1919. The Prime Minister went next, stressing that Sardar Patel was a Congressman and committed to secularism. Dr. Singh said that Sardar Patel and other leaders from his era believed in values like the unity of India and a secular outlook. "I am sure those present here today will agree that there is a dearth of these values today," he said.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari had earlier this week accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (RSS) of appropriating the legacy of India's first Home Minister. "On 9/11/1948, Sardar Patel wrote a letter to Golwalkarji. And, in that letter, he said that the communal poison which had been spread by the RSS was responsible for the sacrifice of Gandhiji. As a student of political history, it has always intrigued me that the RSS, BJP has been attempting unsuccessfully to appropriate the legacy of Sardar Patel," Tewari told media here.
"I wanted to ask the BJP or their newly-anointed pretender that do they endorse, or agree with the views of Sardar Patel with regard to the RSS. If not, as the chief minister of Gujarat and possibly as the 'Swayamsevak' within history bears testimony to the fact that those who do not have a history of their own, try to appropriate the history of others," he added.

Coyotes pull out 4-3 overtime win over Predators
Nashville finished six wins and seven points ahead of Phoenix, but was the Western Conference's fourth seed because the Coyotes won the Pacific Division.
The Predators beat nemesis Detroit in a surprisingly easy five games in the first round behind Rinne, a finalist for the Vezina Trophy for the second straight year. That gave Nashville a week off, plenty of time to heal and rest up - and gather some rust, apparently.
Sluggish and out of synch, Nashville was on its heels early, leading to a power play midway through the first period. Vrbata capitalized, flipping a wrister from the left circle that skipped off Rinne's mask and over his stick shoulder.
The Predators seemed to snap out of their funk after that and had better puck control, tying it late in the period thanks to an awkward bounce.
Looking for nothing more than a dump-in, Francis Bouillon sent a pass along the left boards that shot almost 90 degrees to the right. With Smith in back anticipating the pass, Yip had it easy, flipping into an empty net.
Phoenix went back up early in the second period on a good bounce of its own. This one came off the back of Predators defenseman Roman Josi, who dove to block a pass and knocked it down right in front of Klesla at the edge of the crease.
Nashville again had an answer, using a turnover in Phoenix's zone midway through to set up a goal by Kostitsyn, who poked the puck under a sprawled out Smith after he couldn't cover a rebound.
Boedker scored his goal late in the period, waiting and waiting on a 2-on-1 before ripping a wrister past Rinne, who had a spectacular save on Whitney about a minute earlier.
That made it 3-2 - not quite what was expected between two of the NHL's best defensive teams.
"With these two goalies, that is probably higher than anyone would expect, but who knows, those might be the only goals we see the rest of the series," Whitney said.
Nashville turned up the pressure in the third period, outshooting Phoenix 16-1 to leave the Coyotes tired and floundering. The flurry led to Erat's tying goal on a rebound, sending Phoenix to yet another overtime game in the playoffs.
The Predators kept up the pressure in overtime, getting numerous good chances while allowing the Coyotes a few meager counterattacks.
The Coyotes have seemingly needed only one chance all playoffs and Smith made sure they got it, making numerous difficult saves, including one on Bouillon that sent his stick flying. Whitney cashed in on one of Phoenix's few good opportunities after the second period, taking a pass from Hanzal off a faceoff and slipping it past Rinne in overtime to help Phoenix steal Game 1.
"When we took over the game and started playing in their end, we did a lot of good things," Predators defenseman Shea Weber said. "Obviously, that ended up biting us in the end - they got one chance and put it in, in overtime."
Notes: Nashville D Hal Gill returned after missing the Detroit series with a lower-body injury. ... Phoenix killed off 18 straight penalties before Erat's goal. ... The Predators, the NHL's best power-play team during the regular season, were 2 for 26 in the playoffs before Erat scored with the man advantage.

Hi there,
First post on the forum here, i hope that this is the right place for my question.I am looking for a wordpress template for a tech/computer repair company. Something like this: http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/44423.html
But i refuse to pay template monster, crappy support en very bad after sales.
The only things that this template must have are: Responsive Edditable
Thanks guys, i hope there is a template here on themeforest i could use. I have searched but havent found it.
Just because it says computer repair theme does not make it any better for that niche.
The above layout can be created with pretty much any latest WP theme published in corporate category, so don't restrict your search just on how the theme is called.
I thank you for your comment and your advise!

Green Back to School Shopping
It's almost back to school time! You're going to need stuff. How can you balance a green life with back to school shopping? We've got some tips for you. Don't worry – it's easy.
Make a list.
Before you start your back to school shop, plan out what you really need. Do you have to have a new backpack? If it's not too worn, don't buy another. Do you really need a new lunchbox? Just because it is on the back to school list, it doesn't mean you have to buy a new one. Reuse your old things as much as possible. Make a list and stick to it.
What are you writing with?
Try to buy greener choices in pens and pencils. Mechanical pencils are refillable, and are a better bet for the environment than the plain old number 2 kind. You (or your children) may need one small pack of regular yellow pencils for testing, but the bulk of your work can be done with the refillable kind. Go for refillable pens whenever possible, as well.
Watch your paper use.
On average, k-12 schools throw away enough paper to total about 750 trees a semester. If you have kids, you're probably not going to be able to go paperless. It's just a fact of school life. Most teachers won't let them email their homework. Ditto for taking notes with a laptop or electronic notebook. That doesn't mean you can't take steps to cut down on your child's paper consumption. Use both sides of the paper when you can and re-use everything that you can. Recycle all of it when you're done.
If you're in college, however, you can probably go almost paperless. When you can't – use post consumer recycled paper. Make sure it's processed chlorine free. Same rules go for using and re-using paper.
Buy in bulk
Especially when you have multiple children or you know you'll be in school at least another year, buy products in bulk. Buy school supplies in larger quantities such as paper, pencils, and pens. But be careful what you're buying in large amounts – if you're not going to use it often, buying large quantities can be a waste of money.
Do you have any green tips for back to school? Let me know on twitter, facebook, or leave me a message here on the blog.

The kobalos (pl. kobaloi) was a sprite from Greek mythology, a mischievous creature fond of tricking and frightening mortals.[1] Greek myths depict the kobaloi as "impudent, thieving, droll, idle, mischievous, gnome-dwarfs",[2] and as "funny, little triksy elves" of a phallic nature.[3] They were companions of Dionysus and could shapeshift as Dionysus in the guise of Choroimanes-Aiolomorphos.[4] According to one myth, they robbed Herakles while he slept. He captured them in revenge but took pity on them when he found them amusing. In one version of the myth, Herakles gave them to the Lydian queen Omphale as a gift. The kobaloi were thought to live in Euboea or near Thermopylae.[2]
Parents used tales of the kobaloi to frighten children into behaving.[5] The term also means "impudent knave, arrant rogue" in ancient Greek, and such individuals were thought to invoke kobaloi spirits.[6] Depictions of kobaloi are common in ancient Greek art.
The kobalos is related to two other Greek sprites: the kabeiroi (pygmies with large phalluses) and the kerkopes.[2] The kobalos and kabeiroi came to be equated.[2] Nineteenth Century classicists proposed that other European sprites may derive from belief in kobaloi. This includes spirits such as the Northern English boggart, Scottish bogle, French goblin, Medieval gobelinus, German kobold, and English Puck.[7] Likewise, the names of many European spirits may derive from the word kobalos. The word entered Latin as cobalus, then possibly French as gobelin. From this, the English goblin and Welsh coblyn may derive.[8]

- Forum: iPhone
Does anyone outside of the US ever use Siri? I have never used it, the mere idea of talking to an inanimate object seems silly to me. A good example of technology that most of the users never use, and as such a perfect candidate for removing if it means a cheaper phone. In a car I can see the use for it though.

A perfect Sunday for Angelica and John Lloyd
Angelica Panganiban and John Lloyd Cruz have moved on from their previous relationships (with Derek Ramsay and Shaina Magdayao, respectively). It seems they are ready to venture into a new chapter in their lives—based on Angelica's Instagram pic, which she labelled "A Perfect Sunday according to the guy in pink (JL)," with this caption: Welcome Happiness. Joy pursued. Welcome everyone especially those who are smiling out of warmth."
At press time, Angel and JL's pic has garnered 6,139 "likes" on IG. It has elicited 506 comments, ranging from positive to cynical ones.
At this point, both of them may not know yet for sure where they are headed but they are sure having fun getting there.
Instead of passing judgment on Angelica and Lloydie, let's wish them well. Après tout, everyone, even superstars like them, deserve a second crack at love and happiness because it can get very lonely at the top.
Oyo Boy and Kristine Sotto joined a recent Christian couples getaway with a 1950s theme. On her Instagram pic of the event, she posted this comment: "Iba talaga 'pag God-centered ang relationship (It's really different if you're in a God-centered relationship)."
Amen to that! That's the only "love triangle" that works!
Aga's b-day concert
Aga Muhlach celebrated his birthday last August 12 with a free concert and a medical mission at the Goa Central School Open Field (Camarines Sur). He was overwhelmed by the turnout. The place was jampacked. Guest performers were Side A, Angel Locsin, Billy Crawford, Bayani Agbayani, Andrew E, Albert and Liezl Martinez, and Arlene Muhlach.
Aga has reached the point in his life where he genuinely wants to pay it forward. I've known Aga long before he joined show biz. It's amazing that the more famous he becomes, the humbler he gets. He never loses that childlike wonder, which makes him see everything with fresh eyes and give with a pure heart. Happy birthday, "Morning." You were really born to be a blessing!
Personal: Birthday cheers to my Gay BF, Nelson Canlas. The best men are indeed gay!
Endless thanks to Renen de Guia for being such a Santa Claus and to the Ovation Productions staff, especially Fe Rodriguez and Cristine, for their kind assistance.

Recent Honor Reviews
Great house and location
We enjoyed the amenities and privacy of the house and the great location to many activities in the area. Nestled in the woods it is a great place to get away and enjoy nature.
This is a very nice rental. The unit is very well furnished, with very high quality appliances and funishings (Pottery barn and Crate and Barrel quality). As my wife noted, the dishwasher is nicer than ours at home. My guess is that the owner must use it personally a lot and has invested extra in the furnishings and appliances for that reason. We had never rented a cottage before, but were very pleased with this unit and would likely rent it again if it is available. Finally, the location is very near the Lake Michigan Road beach. The only disappointment is that there was no cable signal (preventing us from watching some Tiger games while in Michigan), but it does have a netflix account and a stock of DVD's.
Great location and so much to do!
First of all, the area surrounding this property (within a 30 min drive) is amazing. Easy access to some of the best beaches in the world, vineyards for wine tasting, great local shopping, and of course, Sleeping Bear Dunes which you have to see in person to appreciate how awesome it is. The kids had so much fun climbing the dunes, fishing in the Platt River (which is right in the back yard) and playing at the local beaches. They all wanted to stay another week! Additionally, the property and the local community itself offer many options for activities. The Platt River is great for fishing and it runs through the back yard of the property. There are many kayaks and tubes onsite that can also be used in the river. The Big Platt and Little Platt lakes also offer fishing and kayaking opportunities. The town of Honor is small and quaint, so you don't feel like you're a tourist, but large enough to offer the essential amenities like groceries and a hardware store. Last but not least, the property itself is very clean, modern, and offers everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Everything is very well organized and easy to find. The property is at the end of a secluded driveway, so there's lots of room between you and the neighbor. I think we'll be making future trips to this area and will be looking forward to staying at Plattitudes again!

3 Day Potty Training
Comments (2)
When we did it, daycare wasn't a factor.
So we would go naked for up to a few weeks until it was truly truly solid... and definitely did no pull ups/ diapers even at bedtime until the third voluntary poop in the potty. (Three seems to be the number of success! Never had another poop accident after that third one.)
Is it a center or a home daycare?
Are you and the DCP on the same page about potty training and methods? Is the DCP going to have a regular potty schedule?
I would send her in loose fitting sports shorts instead of underwear under a dress. Give her more of a bare butt feeling.
But it isn't going to be mastered in 3 days. It is a learning process. I have PT's 6 kids at/ around age 2. It typically takes up to 3 weeks or so for total mastery. And even then, there are still accidents.

We did the 3 day bare bottom started on Dec 27. She loves panties and wanted to wear them but like your lo she kept having accidents. it has been three weeks and I haven't tried panties but the pants only is working great and my home daycare doesnt care.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is excited about their Scudetto chances.
Their 2-1 win over Atalanta, combined with Inter's 2-2 draw with Siena, closed the gap to just one point and Spalletti declared: "We deserved this opportunity to fight it out until the end. I say this based on everything we have done in this championship. Now we just have to carry on this way.
"The injuries or negative moments you can run into during a campaign can happen to anyone. Yet in the second half of the season we were comfortably the best team with the best results.
"It is well known that in football there are dangers hidden where you don't expect them. It has been a long and tiring season."

These last five shows have been close to home – North Carolina! Our first stop was the Lakeland Cultural Center in Littleton, NC. We had three performances here and some really enthusiastic audiences. From Littleton, we made our way to Rocky Mount, NC and the beautiful Dunn Center for the Arts. We pulled to the loading dock where we were met by the crew, ready and able to get some 10 tons of equipment off the trailer.
Load in moved along easily…as did the rest of the day. We were able to get the show "audience ready" in about 6 hours thanks to the guys on our crew (who are awesome) and the pre-show work done by the theatre. When the doors opened, we had a fantastic crowd of excited people! Thank you Sheila and Kimla for an incredible day on your stage!
And our last show in this run of performances was at the Seby Jones Performing Arts Center in Louisburg, NC. This is an older venue and we performed here in 2004. The show has changed considerably since our last appearance so we were all excited about bringing the new illusions to the stage.
We faced a few challenges here, mostly in the "technical department" of lights and sound. We were able to hang all of our intelligent lighting but struggled a bit with some of the traditional fixtures of the theatre. In the end, it all worked out and the show "looked" the way I like to see it. And it was another very nicely mixed audience of college students, senior citizens, young adults, and families.
We are home for a couple of days. I leave for Pittsburgh on Wednesday morning for a few meetings and a television appearance on PITTSBURGH TODAY LIVE to talk more about the Hocus Focus project.

Never mind the fact that Justin has a long-term girlfriend in the dull as dishwater actress Jessica Biel, that doesn't seem to make any difference to the story.
Apparently Justin is 'really into' Rihanna and the pair have meeting meeting up for secret dates in New York behind Jessica's back.
The pair starred in a music video together not long ago and on set sources say the chemistry between the two was 'sizzling'.
Now other sources claim Justin is close to calling it off with Jessica and going public with Rihanna.
Hmmm this seems very unlikely but who knows - it is LaLa land after all!
UPDATE: Justin and Jessica have announced their split! Apparently the couple had been arguing for weeks and Justin decided to end it over the phone.
So this rumour isn't looking so crazy now after all!
UPDATED UPDATE: Snooze they're back together - are they just playing games now to incite some interest into their boring relationship?

Cassie was the star of the pee-wee football
team a few years ago. Many things have changed
since then, such as her parents getting
divorced. Now she only visits her dad on
weekends. When she and her best friend Molly
make the new football team, will Cassie ever get
her parents to sign the form to allow her to
play in the games? If they do let Cassie play,
will she ever get the respect she wants from the
boys on the team? How much longer will Cassie be
able to stand Serena, her new step-mom (Mrs.
Queen), who gets worked up over almost
everything? You can find out in this terrific
book called "Tackling Dad".
This book was a page-turner and and I enjoyed
spending the time to read it! At first I didn't
know how this book would be since it was about
football and I don't like football, but this
book turned out to be excellent. The things the
characters said in "Tackling Dad" were very
funny. I recommend "Tackling Dad" to pretty much
anybody who likes to read funny books, but
especially if you like football.

Walk to Promote Breast-Feeding and Fundraising
By LIA RUSSELL
By Lia Russell
The Virginian-Pilot
K rysten Pizzurro was frustrated and desperate.
In addition to suffering sleep deprivation and postpartum depression, her newborn, Miriam, wouldn't breast-feed.
"She would scream every time I tried to nurse her," Pizzurro, 26, said of her daughter, who was born last December. "I thought she hated me."
Instead of giving up, the Suffolk mother sought out Mary Comes, a leader of La Leche League of Portsmouth, the local branch of an international breast-feeding advocacy group.
"After 3 or 4 hours at Mary's house, (Miriam) was latching on and nursing," Pizzurro said. "I learned that all issues boil down to perseverance and support."
On Saturday, the volunteer group will be reaching out to more mothers with its second annual World Breastfeeding Walk Celebration – a promotional and fundraising event.
In honor of the upcoming summer Olympics, this year's theme is "Mother Support: Going for the Gold."
"An athlete needs a healthy start in life," Comes said. "There is no question that optimal infant and young child feeding are essential for the best possible growth and development."
The family-friendly program will include a 10-minute walk, silent auction, free refreshments, children's activities, door prizes and vendors.
"There is no charge for admission or for any of the activities unless you bid in the silent auction," Comes said. "It's a wonderful opportunity for families to come out and learn about breast- feeding, support moms who breast-feed and have a great time."
Included among the 33 items up for auction are Norfolk Tides baseball tickets, ultrasound imaging, belly casting, belly painting, a photography session, diaper cakes, diaper starter packages, baby items and jewelry .
Local businesses – including Olde Towne Bakery, Sweet Temptations, The Cake Place, Rita's Pizza, Curves of Portsmouth, Olde Towne Ice Cream Shop, D&A Scrapbook Store and Foggy Point Murder Mystery Dinner Theater – have donated items.
"Last year we raised $540," Comes said. "Our goal this year is $1,000."
Half of the money raised stays with the Portsmouth group and the remaining funds support programs of the international organization.
About 80 people participated in last year's walk. Comes anticipates up to 200 on Saturday.
Among other services, La Leche League of Portsmouth provides free information and support, including 24-hour telephone support, to breast-feeding mothers. It also maintains a lending library of resources for nursing mothers and holds monthly meetings.
"Breast-feeding isn't just good for babies," Comes said. "It also provides many advantages to mothers like post-partum weight loss, a lower incidence of breast and ovarian cancers and economic savings. We want people to understand the many benefits breast-feeding offers."
For more information about La Leche League of Portsmouth, call 487-6007 or visit www.llli.org.

Teachers flip for 'flipped learning' class model
Sunday - 1/27/2013, 6:14pm EST
By CHRISTINA HOAG
Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - When Timmy Nguyen comes to his pre-calculus class, he's already learned the day's lesson _ he watched it on a short online video prepared by his teacher for homework.
So without a lecture to listen to, he and his classmates at Segerstrom Fundamental High School spend class time doing practice problems in small groups, taking quizzes, explaining the concept to other students, reciting equation formulas in a loud chorus, and making their own videos while teacher Crystal Kirch buzzes from desk to desk to help pupils who are having trouble.
It's a technology-driven teaching method known as "flipped learning" because it flips the time-honored model of classroom lecture and exercises for homework _ the lecture becomes homework and class time is for practice.
"It was hard to get used to," said Nguyen, an 11th-grader. "I was like `why do I have to watch these videos, this is so dumb.' But then I stopped complaining and I learned the material quicker. My grade went from a D to an A."
Flipped learning apparently is catching on in schools across the nation as a younger, more tech-savvy generation of teachers is moving into classrooms. Although the number of "flipped" teachers is hard to ascertain, the online community Flipped Learning Network now has 10,000 members, up from 2,500 a year ago, and training workshops are being held all over the country, said executive director Kari Afstrom.
Under the model, teachers make eight- to 10-minute videos of their lessons using laptops, often simply filming the whiteboard as the teacher makes notations and recording their voice as they explain the concept. The videos are uploaded onto a teacher or school website, or even YouTube, where they can be accessed by students on computers or smartphones as homework.
For pupils lacking easy access to the Internet, teachers copy videos onto DVDs or flash drives. Kids with no home device watch the video on school computers.
Class time is then devoted to practical applications of the lesson _ often more creative exercises designed to engage students and deepen their understanding. On a recent afternoon, Kirch's students stood in pairs with one student forming a cone shape with her hands and the other angling an arm so the "cone" was cut into different sections.
"It's a huge transformation," said Kirch, who has been taking this approach for two years. "It's a student-focused classroom where the responsibility for learning has flipped from me to the students."
The concept emerged five years ago when a pair of Colorado high school teachers started videotaping their chemistry classes for absent students.
"We found it was really valuable and pushed us to ask what the students needed us for," said one of the teachers, Aaron Sams, now a consultant who is developing on online education program in Pittsburgh. "They didn't need us for content dissemination, they needed us to dig deeper."
He and colleague Jonathan Bergmann began condensing classroom lectures to short videos and assigning them as homework.
"The first year, I was able to double the number of labs my students were doing," Sams said. "That's every science teacher's dream."
In the Detroit suburb of Clinton Township, Clintondale High School Principal Greg Green converted the whole school to flipped learning in the fall of 2011 after years of frustration with high failure rates and discipline problems. Three-quarters of the school's enrollment of 600 is low-income, minority students.
Flipping yielded dramatic results after just a year, including a 33 percent drop in the freshman failure rate and a 66 percent drop in the number of disciplinary incidents from the year before, Green said. Graduation, attendance and test scores all went up. Parent complaints dropped from 200 to seven.
Green attributed the improvements to an approach that engages students more in their classes.
"Kids want to take an active part in the learning process," he said. "Now teachers are actually working with kids."
Although the method has been more popular in high schools, it's now catching on in elementary schools, said Afstrom of the Flipped Learning Network.
Fifth-grade teacher Lisa Highfill in the Pleasanton Unified School District said for a lesson about adding decimals, she made a five-minute, how-to video kids watched at home and in class, then she distributed play money and menus and had kids "ordering" food and tallying the bill and change.
A colleague who teaches kindergarten reads a storybook on video. The video contains a pop-up box that requires kids to write something that shows they understood the story.

United States Potato Board Launches Recipe Photo Contest
DENVER, Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The United States Potato Board (USPB) has teamed up with The Nutrition Twins, registered dieticians and personal trainers Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos, to remind potato lovers everywhere why potatoes are "twice" as smart and to announce an easy-to-enter recipe photo contest.
As the Twins explain, "Twice baked potatoes are twice as fun! Plus, you get twice the nutritional punch as potatoes are loaded with vitamin C and potassium." Not only that, one medium-size (5.3 ounce) skin-on potato contains just 110 calories per serving and contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol.
In the Twice Baked, Twice as Smart Facebook Recipe Photo Contest, potato lovers are invited to submit their best, most mouth-watering, original twice baked potato photo for a chance to win a $500 VISA gift card and a signed copy of the Nutrition Twins' new book, The Secret to Skinny. The contest Runner-Up will receive a $50 VISA gift card and a signed copy of The Secret to Skinny.
Including the twice baked recipe is optional, but entrants are required to describe their twice baked creation with a creative photo caption. Entries will be narrowed down to the top five by a consumer vote on Facebook and The Nutrition Twins will serve as contest judges to select the Grand Prize winner and Runner-Up.
To enter the contest, visit the USPB's Facebook page, "Potatoes, Taters and Spuds," and click on the "Photo Contest" tab at the top of the page. The contest is open to U.S. residents age 18 and over. Official rules can be found on the USPB's Facebook page.
Those looking for inspiration to get started can visit www.potatogoodness.com to see five new Twice Baked Potato recipes, along with a host of additional healthy potato recipes, how-to cooking videos and potato nutrition information.

interesting perfromance cruiser
Hi all,
having gone through the last couple of hundred pages here and among other threads especially the lenghty discussion regarding stiffness and suitability of boats like First 40 and J122 for cruising, in the Blue Jacket-40 thread, I would like to continue that suitability question here. Might be wrong thread, difficult to evaluate.
Having test sailed many boats this autumn (including trimarans), for fun and education, and having owned a Beneteau 36cc, Dufour 385, Elan 333, Olsen 38 pilot saloon, Benetau Oceanis 40, Dehler 43 CWS and Wauquiez Opium 39 (now) I find this question interesting.
The back ground of a typical customer, at least up here. This size class I think is the mostly sold today in the Nordic countries:
Someone interested in a boat around 35-38 foot (absolutely not over 12 m), absolutely under 3,99 m wide, preferably 3,75 m. Depth not bigger than 2,1m, preferably 1,8m. For a couple with occasional quests. For cruising all summer half year weekends and 2-3 months each summer. In the near future perhaps 4-5 months per summer. No immediate plans for ocean crossing. Much time spent at anchor but harbours always pretty close so 4-10 days between refilling of water and food. Sailing experience very important - thrill seekers, trimmers, want to overtake other boats. Going upwind no problem, sometimes even most rewarding, engine only used for in and out of anchorages and harbours. Also to be able to bring the toys -bikes, inlines, kites etc. Single rudder would help mooring in many cases. Wheel stearing for better autopilot implemention without heavy rudder feeling.
In the BJ40-thread there where many that equalled crusing with living aboard and having to be self-sufficient for months, which in this scenario is not the case. Furthermore, the holding tank problem was very fundamental to many in that thread. Sweden will forbid dumping the holding thank in the water from 2015. Personally I think this is shooting flies with cannons and I do not think the tousands of boats returning every sunday evening to the their home harbours during some few summer months will spend hours queing for an often very difficult accessible pumping out station before docking. Especially not single handed sailors so my personal take is that a holding thank of 60 l, being emptied off shore will be the norm also in the future up here. A removable porta potti is a good secondary solution. Can be emptied with dingy, either in harbour toilets or outside anchorages. Max € 230 000-250 000, preferably € 200 000.
So what are your takes for the suitable boat? J122 and First 40 too big. Dehler 38 etc. rather heavy. Archambault A35 too small? - just to mention some. RM1060 even if rather wide?
I guess the question boils down to how small and especially light can you go, for nice sailing, and still have the storage and living space needed? And will the load destroy the sacrifications made by buying the light perfromance oriented boat?

Wiring a finished attic (storage) room
1 Attachment(s)
I'm working up the electrical plans for a finished, small attic storage room and was wondering if the circuit in the diagram seems logical and will pass code (Dallas, Tx).
Additional info:
The two switches are in different gang boxes.
All wiring is 12-2.
As an fyi, I am "taking a stab" before having the electrician do the work.
Thanks in advance
Just an FYI most electricians will just start over and not even use your materials if you fail and decide to hire them. Best thing would get yourself a decent book on home wiring and check what local codes will allow you to do and require that you do.
Looks like a decent plan.
Sent from my iPhone using DIY Forum
If it's really just for storage why would you need all those outlets?

Expanding the San Diego Convention Center (PRO)
It is a powerful engine for our local economy
For every dollar of our taxes invested in the convention center last year, it returned $2.36 in new tax revenues to our city.
Back in the 1980s, as the publisher of a community newspaper in Rancho Bernardo – long before my election to the San Diego City Council and my later service as director of the Downtown San Diego Partnership – I was sometimes asked by my neighbors why they should care about a convention center in downtown San Diego.
"Why should scarce city tax dollars be invested in a facility suburban residents might never use?" they asked.
I don't get that question very often anymore, because the results of that investment are now so obvious. The San Diego Convention Center provided a catalyst for redevelopment of our downtown and bayfront that have transformed these areas into attractions enjoyed by locals and visitors alike and made San Diego a world-class convention destination.
Visitor spending generated by the convention center helps support amenities enjoyed by all of us – the exciting nightlife in the Gaslamp District, shopping at Horton Plaza, strolling Embarcadero Marina Park and taking out-of-town visitors to Seaport Village.
Since it opened, the convention center has attracted over 15 million attendees and generated over $7.6 billion in direct attendee spending, along with over $18 billion in total economic impact for our region.
Why is the convention center such a powerful engine for our local economy? It's because conventions – particularly the medical and high-tech trade shows San Diego specializes in – attract high-value visitors who spend an average of $1,462 per attendee while they are visiting our community, compared to $458 per person for the average overnight visitor to San Diego. And, in a time of economic uncertainty, these trade groups have been largely immune from the impacts of recession.
But if you don't own a restaurant or hotel, and your job isn't even indirectly tied to tourism, why should you care? Here's the bottom line for San Diego taxpayers: For every dollar of our taxes invested in the convention center last year, it returned $2.36 in new taxrevenues to our city.
Those tax revenues go into the city's general fund where they pay for police and fire, street repair, park maintenance, lifeguards and dozens of other services we rely on in our neighborhoods. Think about that. What other investment produces a 236 percent annual return, and directly benefits every resident in our city?
Not surprisingly, other cash-strapped cities want to duplicate San Diego's success by building or expanding competing convention facilities so they can get a piece of the revenue windfall our city has enjoyed.
While most other cities can't offer the combination of weather, natural beauty and downtown excitement San Diego has to offer, they can and do offer larger exhibit spaces to accommodate the growing number of convention exhibitors who provide the financial lifeblood for most major conventions.
In order to retain and expand our share of the top-tier conventions that generate the biggest returns for our city, the San Diego Convention Center must be expanded. In 2008, San Diego lost the equivalent of 705,000 hotel room nights because of conventions that wanted to come to San Diego but could no longer be accommodated in the existing convention center. These room nights represent approximately one year's worth of business, or to put it in perspective, about $25 million in tax revenues the city will never see.
