Jeeze Louise. The guy slipped on ice, fell on his shovel and put a divot into his spleen. If he hadn't gone to the E.R. when he did, the Twins would be wearing black arm-bands this year. They removed his spleen. He's lost a lot of weight. He's vowing to return. I dunno. Hard to think about Pavano, considering all the pain he brought upon the Yankiverse. Remember when he broke a rib in a car accident with his hot model girlfriend, and he didn't tell anybody? Remember when he pulled a buttock covering first? Remember our Yankeeography: The Bronx Buttocks?If he were going to lose a spleen, we wanted it to come from a line-drive off Jeter's bat. But when you look at Pavano's life, it's quite sad. There is only one period in the fossil record when Pavano totally sucked: While a Yankee.Take away those four years, and the guy had a nice career. But in NY, he won just seven (7) games. Imagine: If Pavano pitched the way he did before and after the Yankees, he would have won 64 games in that...

Kevin Durant's status as the NBA's leading scorer isn't much of a surprise, but he's been particularly impressive during the Oklahoma City's recent success on the road. Stephen Curry's impressive shooting has the Golden State Warriors regaining momentum. Durant and the NBA-best Thunder go for an eighth win in nine tries Wednesday night, when they attempt to beat Curry and the Warriors for a sixth straight meeting. Durant leads the league with 29.5 points per game, and the superstar forward is bidding for a fourth consecutive scoring title - a feat that hasn't been achieved since Michael Jordan reeled off seven in a row spanning 1986-87 through 1992-93. His production has been staggering during the Thunder's 5-1 run on the road, averaging 39.5 points while connecting on 51.4 percent from the floor - 42.0 from behind the arc. Durant's latest scoring output was the lowest of that stretch, but he still put up 32 points while making 12 of 19 field goals - 5 of 6 from long range - in ...

Specialty Chemical Earnings Rise on Higher Selling Prices
2:03 PM MDT | July 25, 2007 | Kerri Walsh
Most U.S. specialty chemical makers' fourth-quarter 2006 results came out ahead of analysts' estimates. Specialty producers say they benefited from higher selling prices and improved volumes, as well as an easing in raw material and energy costs. Rohm and Haas's (R&H) earnings from continuing operations rose 30%, to $167 million (76 cts/share), including restructuring charges. Earnings excluding charges were up 4%, to 81 cts/share. The consensus of analysts' estimates as reported by First Call (Boston) was for 78 cts/share. Strong...

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author and educator Chris Mattia demonstrates how to use the Apple iBooks Author application to create and publish your own ebook, without extensive design or publishing experience.
Follow along with Chris as he assembles, refines, and publishes a dynamic and engaging ebook for distribution on the iPad using the iBooks app. The course demonstrates the process of adding all of the components of a dynamic ebook, including engaging text, images, audio, video, 3D models, and dynamic web content. It also shows how to customize the iBooks Author interface and leverage built-in templates to produce a beautifully designed and polished ebook. The course wraps up with a review of the iBookstore publishing process.
Let's take a few minutes and clean up our table of contents. We're in chapter 8, Backpack California, and if we scroll down, we can see that the sections that we created, the one at the bottom, section 5, if it were alphabetically ordered, it should be up here as section 2. So simply click on the icon for section 5 and drag it up into the correct location and drop it down. You'll notice the section automatically renumbers to be section 2 instead of section 5. Next, go ahead and scroll all the way up to the top of your sidebar and click on Table of Contents, and then change the Orientation view to Portrait view.
Here, we can see that some of our chapters are not quite in alphabetical order. It would be nice to have that set up. So we'll simply scroll down in our sidebar, grab chapter 8 Backpack California, and drag it up until the blue line shows just above chapter 2. When we drop it in place, chapter 8 now becomes the new chapter 2, and all of the other chapters are renumbered as well. We can do the same thing with California Calm, changing it to be chapter 3, and Cycle California, making it chapter 4.
Go ahead and scroll back up to the top of your sidebar and click again on Table of Contents. Next, let's turn our attention to the header graphic here. The first thing we want to do is adjust the text EXPLORE California. We'll go ahead and double-click California, then hold down the Shift key on your keyboard, and click just to the left of the E in EXPLORE in order to select the entire line of text. We'll change the font so that it matches the font on our cover page to Palatino. We'll change it from bold to regular, and then we'll change the size down to 64 points.
Next, let's change the color of EXPLORE by double-clicking on EXPLORE, click the Inspector button, click on the Text tab, and then on the color chip, and we'll select the same gold color that we chose earlier out of our Explore California logo. Click off of the text to deselect it. Next, let's go ahead and replace the placeholder image. To do that, bring up your Media window and find the cover image and drag that and drop it into the placeholder image.
Next, click one time on the cover image and drag it over to the left-hand side so you can leave a small area of white space over here to the right-hand side. That's just enough space for us to add our logo and drop it into place. And then drag it around until you get the grid lines so that it snaps in place. Then click one time on our cover image and drag it back over to the right-hand side, until it snaps back into alignment. If you double-click on this cover image and drag it up and down, you can find just the right portion of the image that's going to add the right amount of visual interest.
Next, let's zoom in our page so it's a little bit easier to work with. Let's zoom up to 100%, and now let's add a gold transparent bar down at the bottom by clicking on Shapes and the Box tool. Then move the box so that it aligns with the bottom of the image, grab the top of the box, change the height of the box down, and stretch the box out so that it fills the space underneath of EXPLORE California. The top of the box should align at approximately the same height as the top of this portion of our logo.
Then if we go back to our Inspector and we go to the Graphic tab, change the Fill Pattern to Color Fill, click the color chip, and select the same bright yellow color that we chose in an earlier movie. We can then change the Opacity down to 50% and hit Enter or Return to accept that change. Things are looking a lot better. Let's go ahead and add a text box and then select the text inside of the text box and type in "2012 Travel Guide." Select the text and change the font size to 18 points, and the color to white.
Then deselect the text box and click once on the text to make a selection of the text box. Drag the text box so that it's appropriately sized, but make sure you drag the right-hand side of the text box out a little extra to leave a little bit of extra room over here to the right-hand side. Next, grab the text box and drag it and place it above the Explore California logo. With the text box still selected, go ahead and check the link for Shadow to add a drop shadow to that text. Then press Command+C on your keyboard to copy it, Command+V to paste it, and then move that new copied text down so that it's centered inside of the gold transparent bar.
We can then select this text and type in our web address: www.explorecalifornia.com. Deselect the text and you'll notice that the text becomes a hyperlink again. Since we stretched out the text box a little bit further, if we double-click in that text box, then it will automatically select the text inside of the text box. We can then come back over to our Link tool in our Inspector and uncheck the box for Enable hyperlink.
One more text treatment. Let's go ahead and click on the text box for EXPLORE California, go back to the Graphics pane, and turn on the shadow for EXPLORE California. We can deselect and now we have a nice cleaned-up header that's nicely laid out for our table of contents.

Practically Green: Fluorescent bulbs: You get what you pay for
While I was presenting at a brown-bag talk for the Memphis Botanic Garden, the subject of compact fluorescent lights came up. There were many complaints about them.
They take too long to come on. The light is an icky color. They don't last as long as they say. I was asked to please do some research on it and write a column. So here you go. (I will address complaints about disposal of spent or broken CFLs in a future column.)
CFLs save you money, but that up-front cost is painful. Over the life of the bulb, the math works out, but most of us still flinch and reach for the store-brand discount version. It seems that is the reason for problems with delay, early burnout and poor light quality.
To avoid those problems:
Buy brand-name bulbs. Discount CFLs are poorer quality and may last only six months, regardless of what the box says. You will still save money over the life of the bulb compared with incandescent energy cost and bulb replacement.
Buy soft light or daylight varieties to improve the light quality and avoid that depressing blue fluorescent flicker.
CFLs like warmth. In an environment below 68 degrees, they take longer to come on. For outdoor use in winter months, use CFLs specified for outdoor use. Yes, they're more expensive, but they're worth it.
And tighten up your ceiling fans. Vibration shortens the life of the bulb.
How much is too much to spend on lightbulbs? When am I not saving money any more.
Here's the math:
For 8,000 hours of 60 W incandescent light, we pay about $43, plus the cost of about 10 bulbs.
For 8,000 hours of what is equivalent to "60 W light" from the CFL, we pay $9, plus the cost of the one bulb.
So unless that CFL bulb costs more than $35 dollars, we're still saving money.

Rum-Raisin Custard
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|4 Tablespoon
|175 Gram
|200 Gram
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
Put the raisins in the small bowl.
Pour the rum over.
Use just as much as covers the raisins.
Leave them like this for at least an hour and overnight if possible.
Put the eggs and sugar into the larger bowl.
Beat till the mixture is pale lemon in colour and almost fluffy.
Start adding the flour alternately with the milk.
That means that you add about 3 tablespoons of flour, mix it in lightly, then add some milk, mix that in too and continue till all the flour and milk is used up.
Mix in the raisins too, after draining them from the rum.
If you like, you can save some to put on top.
Pour the mixture into the oven-proof dish.
If you are going to eat the dessert soon after you make it, put the oven on to preheat to 200°C when you start making it.
As soon as the oven has reached the correct temperature, put the dish in.
Bake for 35-40 minutes.
The dessert should be golden brown on top and the custard should be set.
Serve immediately for a hot dessert or cool and chill.

Condo heaven
Arthur from Valentines, VA – Verified Buyer
My very large cats love this roomy warm home. Pros, would buy again.
Great Cat Bed
marilyn ryan from Yakima, WA – Verified Buyer
I really like the molded foam base to this bed and the fact that you can take the cover off and wash it. I've looked a long time trying to f ind a cat bed for our outside cats that would hold their shape and not get mashed down. Nice pillow inside and smaller opening to help keep warmth inside.
Great bed
I from New Hampshire
This one is fine and is for my bigger cat and she really like this tent kitty condo and it has worked out well. I looked all over the internet to find the right kind of bed and for the best priced bed and found it with Wayfair.
Welcome to the Kitty Condo - No Vacancy
In Her Majesty's Service from Knoxville, Tennessee
Couldn't have asked for a better experience as first time buyers - since our Tortoiseshell prefers the garage to indoors - we chose a green plaid material and were impressed with the insulation and quality. Everything about the construction is perfect for keeping the Condo clean and warm - the pillow is removable for cleaning and we are able to put a warming disc under it during the winter months. The Wayfair price w/shipping couldn't be beat - believe us, we looked !! Skully absolutely loves her new Condo and is quite reluctant to leave it on most days.
Kitty Condo
Cleonia from Topeka, KS – Verified Buyer
Our two outdoor cats really liked this in the winter and snuggled up together to stay warm, however, they also clawed the inside which was foam and destroyed it. Didn't realize the inside was foam when we bought it.
A Must Have!!
Chinese Crested Lover from Burlington, N.C.
I am not a cat owner but I do have small Chinese Crested (Hairless Dogs.) They absolutely love this bed. The first one I purchased my dogs fought over who was going to own it. They will try to get in there 2 or 3 at a time. So I've purchased 2 more. (And you can even choose a pattern or color of your choice.) A GREAT buy for the money!!!! If you have a small pet I highly recommend this item. All of my dogs love these beds. My first one I bought from a local pet shop and paid over twice the amount that these are from Wayfair. I'm totally pleased with the product and it is the only bed my pets have not torn up, and I am thrilled with the price as well.Once they go in and settle down, it's hard to get them to come out. They don't want to give it up! If you are considering it, go ahead and try it. I would be surprised if you don't like it!
My 2 little Maltese dogs love this hut!
Sandy B from Philadelphia, PA – Verified Buyer
My two little Maltese dogs love playing in this cat condo. They go in it almost everyday and scratch the fabric and play. It is easy to remove the cover to wash. I washed the cover in the washing machine and it washed up just fine and the fabric looks as good as new. Happy with this purchase.
Great Item
Crazy About Cresteds from Burlington, N.C.
Have owned many styles of dome-type beds for my Chinese Crested (Hairless dogs) They love cozy warm and secure beds to sleep in. This by far is the best bed I have ever purchased. I bought one and they all try to get into this bed at one time. Only 1 or 2 will win out. So today I am ordering 2 more. They absolutely love them, and I highly recommend this for small or toy breeds. If there was one large enough for me I would get one for myself. My precious cresteds and I love this bed. I highly recommend it! Give it a try!
fay stronach from ny
my kittys don't care for it and will not even go in it, they prefer a closed up cardboard box with a cushon in it and a hole cut to crawl in
not good for our dog
Ace from Northern Virginia – Verified Buyer
We thought this would work well for our Morkie who likes it quiet and dark when he's tired (burrows behind couch cushions). Instead, since the entire interior is foam, he just chewed it up. We didn't know what it was made from. It looks nice, and we do use the bottom cushion, but it was a lot of money for a small cushion and a big foam chew toy.

Breif summary on me: I am a great person...
Breif summary on me: I am a great person looking for what everyone wants a good companion to share lifes experience's and joys with. I'm just a nice, sweet and honest and sincere guy with Christian values, not a saint but have a true belief in a higher power. My friends describe me as a funny, caring, open minded, family orientated, ambitious, determined goal setter.I have a great family and friend network as we have fun socializing together and I love them very much when time permits. I like to hang out with positive individuals. I would like to explore and learn new things. I am a smart and intelligent career minded and driven man that is genuine and down to earth with a great heart and personality. I do not pretend to be someone who I am not, but good at just being me. I like good conversation and I am a great listener. I would like to eat and be healthier and maybe that next person can show me the way? :-) I like to go out and eat at fine restaurants my favorite foods are mexican and itlalian, I like to relax and bbq when the day is nice or go for a stroll down the beach or even catch a afternoon matinee movie, or go watching live music or sporting event. My music playlist is eclectic, everything from A-Z. Also Live and learn from your mistakes and never judge individuals on presence but on substance. About you: My ideal person would be someone who has a good heart morals and a great smile and great attitude and likes to have a good time no matter what it is. There is nothing more appealing to me than a Woman with confidence. The most important quality I Look for would be GOOD COMMUNICATION - especially the ability to communicate feelings without dispair. I'd like to meet a nice sweet woman who can let go of materialism and enjoy the things in life that really matter; who appreciates a man's kindness and understanding; who hasn't lost touch with her gentle sensitivity. Family values are very important. Like me, you have a great relationship with your parents, siblings and friends and make time for them when schedules permit.You must have direction, and are grounded and most definitely know what you want in life. You are ambitious and curious about the world around you. Chemistry is a important aspect and building the right friendship we can feel comfortable to say what is on our minds. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. The rest is negotiable. ;) If you have any questions for me, feel free to message me - I'd love to hear from you. :)

|More information:
How and why should we study Victorian Britain? The answer to this question is quite straightforward. It was the Victorian contribution to modern politics which stood out above all else. This book suggests that politics is central, but must be more broadly construed, as a pervasive part of Victorian culture as a whole. Read more...

Gallery: My Shower Curtain is a Green Warrior
So you think it's okay to continue with your 15-minute shower because you've got your super-efficient, on-demand water heater and extra-conservative shower head? Perhaps you've even gone as far as funneling your shower water into a personal greywater system. Well, your shower curtain has heard it all, and thanks to artist Elisabeth Buecher, it's not taking any more of your excuses. Your soapy butt is getting kicked out after 4 minutes, when the shower curtain Elisabeth designed inflate with spikes.

text: Not the story I alluded to above but in the 80s I had a dominant neighbor cat that would raid the porch for our cat's food, etc. Pissed there too. I was fortunate one day to close the door on the cat, trapping him. Had a full bottle of cheap cologne from some wedding gift (Brut or Hai Karate I think). Soaked the cat with the whole bottle full of dominant scent. Never saw him again.

Hi all,
I have an WP installation and before send it live, I want to create a tree of categories for it. This tree consist of about 2000 items, so it's really bad idea to create them manually.
So, what options do I have? I looked into the table wp_terms, but didn't find anything like parent_id for category record.
Please advise what can I do... Thanks!

This makes as much sense as Ross and Rachel's split in the mid 90's. According to TSN.ca the NHL and NHLPA are thinking about stepping back: The offer was made during a phone conversation on Wednesday and didn't produce an answer. According to the sources, Fehr told Bettman he would need to bounce the idea off his membership before responding. "We are extremely disappointed in where we and the Players find ourselves," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Thursday evening. "And from our perspective, we have made repeated moves in the Players' direction with absolutely no reciprocation. Unfortunately, we have determined we are involved with Union leadership that has no genuine interest in reaching an agreement. Regardless of what we propose, or how we suggest to compromise the answer is "no." At some point you just have to say "enough is enough." ffff uuuuuu

Yoga for Teens Health
The causes of childhood obesity are well-known and complex. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that as many as 18% of adolescents are overweight or obese. Lack of physical exercise and poor nutrition are the leading culprits. Here's how yoga can help children and teens release excess weight and transform their thinking about food.

I am not fat like I used to be. At my peak I weighed 368 pounds with a 56 inch waist. I was a big boy back in the day. I was 17 when I started losing weight.

She was gorgeous, and way, way out of my league, and I knew I would have to get in shape to have her.

Why EVs could be coming to 1/4 of America sooner than you think

Quick Take: Utilities in California and New York are already gearing up for electric vehicles (EVs). Those two states are trendsetters in EVs as they are in so many other things. But six other states may also see a more rapid EV influx, thanks to the pledge described below.
What should utilities in those states be doing? Perhaps following the advice of Maria Brun to push for smart charging technologies and policies asap. - By Jesse Berst
Eight states representing nearly 1/4 of America's auto market have pledged to adopt a measures to make it easier to own an EV, including changing building codes and encouraging more charging stations. For instance, according to the New York Times, they will simplify rules for installing chargers; develop charging stations that take the same form of payment; and require charging stations at workplaces, multifamily residences and other places.
The pact includes California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. The eight states have set a six-month deadline for drafting an implementation plan.

Press release from Business Wire
ConAgra Foods Announces Agreement to Acquire Bertolli and P.F. Chang's Frozen Meals Businesses From Unilever PLC
Monday, July 30, 2012
ConAgra Foods Announces Agreement to Acquire Bertolli and P.F. Chang's Frozen Meals Businesses From Unilever PLC12:01 EDT Monday, July 30, 2012 OMAHA, Neb. (Business Wire) -- ConAgra Foods, Inc. (NYSE: CAG) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Bertolli® and P.F. Chang's® Home Menu frozen meals businesses from Unilever PLC for a total cash consideration of $265 million. With annual sales approaching $300 million, the Bertolli and P.F. Chang's businesses are leaders in the frozen multi-serve meals segment. The agreement includes a license for the use of the Bertollibrand name and the transfer of Unilever's existing license with P.F. Chang's for use of the P.F. Chang's Home Menubrand name. This acquisition reflects ConAgra Foods' commitment to continue growing its core businesses and expanding into strategic adjacencies. The company's strong position in the freezer case with brands such as Marie Callender's®, Banquet®, Healthy Choice® and Kid Cuisine®, will be enhanced by the addition of the Bertolli and P.F. Chang's brand names and the Italian and Asian food they bring to the portfolio. ConAgra Foods expects this acquisition to provide significant growth opportunities in the frozen food category. "Bertolli and P.F. Chang's multi-serve frozen meals are excellent additions to our portfolio. We'll use our extensive frozen food and innovation capabilities to grow these great brands even further," said Gary Rodkin, chief executive officer of ConAgra Foods. "Just as our acquisition earlier this calendar year of Odom's Tennessee Pride extended our reach into frozen breakfasts, the addition of Bertolli and P.F. Chang's brands can bring us new consumers and new eating occasions." When complete, this acquisition will support ConAgra Foods' growth strategy, which includes growing its core businesses and expanding into adjacent categories, building its private label business and continuing to develop its international presence. This will be the fifth acquisition in the last 12 months for ConAgra Foods, following the acquisitions of National Pretzel Company, Del Monte Canada, Odom's Tennessee Pride and the pita chip business of Kangaroo Brands. The Bertolli and P.F. Chang's frozen meals are currently produced in a Unilever facility that is not included in the sale. As part of the acquisition, key manufacturing equipment will be relocated to an existing ConAgra Foods facility. The acquisition, which is expected to close within the next 30-60 days subject to customary closing conditions, does not alter ConAgra Foods fiscal 2013 financial goals; the company expects fiscal 2013 EPS, adjusted for items impacting comparability, to grow 6-8 percent over the comparable fiscal 2012 EPS of $1.84*. The company also continues to expect fiscal 2013 operating cash flow to exceed $1.2 billion. * The Reconciliation for Regulation G purposes is included at the end of this release. About ConAgra FoodsConAgra Foods, Inc., (NYSE: CAG), is one of North America's leading food companies, with brands in 97 percent of America's households.

I've blown by slow ass adv/DS riders as often as I've blown by slow ass sport bike riders. Of course those numbers don't compare at all to how many slow ass cruiser riders I've blown buy, but then they outnumber all the other riders combined 20 to 1.
I'm just stating that I am competent enough to ride a faster machine faster, and that pretty much applies to the small group of sport bike riders that I ride with as well. Just because you can't doesn't mean that no one else can

Okay everyone here's the deal. Anyone planned a FET while breastfeeding and had to wean baby/toddler before transfer? Anyone nurse to sleep in addition to the above?
I cannot believe I am still in this dilemma. My husband and I want another baby and would like to do it(transfer) in January or March. My baby is going to be 18 months in a week and we are still breastfeeding…and breastfeeding to sleep. I feel so perplexed about weaning him. I think in some ways he really still needs to nurse and when I look into his eyes it breaks my heart. I have cried a bunch of times over this. The thing is, I am an older mom and if we are going to do this we need to do it soon. Blah… blah. I've had to do a lot of hard things in my life and this one is throwing me for a loop.. I cry as I write this and Im…I dunno…need advice…strategies…encouragement(?) especially the nursing to sleep…how to freakin just do it. Errrrrrr!!! Ive never procrastinated in my life and I'm clearly......
thanks for reading
And i hope to not offend anyone. this is a fertility issue yet i know there are those trying to conceive and I am grateful that we have one.

thanks for the reply...seems it's a struggle for all in this situation. i just wish it was not so emotional.
hi Tracyamber,
you may have seen some of my other posts in the forum discussion already suggested. I feel for you - I remember struggling with this a year or so ago. I remember feeling like I was being unfair to my son to potentially wean him for the sake of our family and with no guarantee there would actually be another baby. I also hated the thought of ending breastfeeding if potentially I was never going to nurse again. Hard decisions with no guarantees.
This podcast helped me a lot - it gave me information to consider: http://mumsright.libsyn.com/webpage/2007/11 I highly recommend it. I acutally forwarded it to my clinic hoping they would consider this info...never heard back from them. I considered telling them I had weaned for an FET figuring I could decide if I wanted to expose my child to potential meds. In the end, I weaned him at 20 months, did an FET 2 months later (which was a negative result, but we are now expecting a second through a fresh cycle). When we reached the point of weaning, I felt he and I were ready. He of course was displeased at first but he accepted it better than I thought. I think my heart was more heartbroken than his by the end of it. You will know if your lo is ready.
I used Dr Jay Gordon's approach to weaning: http://drjaygordon.com/attachment/sleeppattern.html I didn't follow it to a tee but pretty closely. I night weaned my lo at 18 months - using this approach except I didn't choose a distinct period of time to restrict feeds (I thought this would be confusing to him) but rather decreased the lengthof feeds then cut them out altogether for the entire night. A month later, I cut his falling asleep bedtime feed using this same strategy and we started a new bedtime routine with books, snuggles, in his crib and rubbing his back. and a month later, I cut his morning feed. I used this same step by step approach each time and I think that helped my ds - I felt that he knew what to expect when the routine started up again. He surprised me by even not bothering to ask for milk the very last morning I was prepared to nurse him! It was hard, but we both got through it with minimal tears and upset.
I hope that's helpful. Feel free to keep in touch on here if that helps you. good luck

Infertility has been part of this journey - no more littles for us, but so grateful we have two happy healthy boys and we can now begin to heal from that experience
you are wonderful for replying. i will check out the websites wednesday as we were out all day today.
thank you for the validation. this is one of the hardest things for me to consider and i nerver thought it would be an issue. i feel full of guilt and...i just want to make the right decision. he needs a sibling. i am trying to wrap my brain around weaning. tonight when i put my son to put i told him in 4 days we were going to stop nursing at night. i said"boobies will go bye bye at night time" he was really quiet and seemed to be thinking about what i was saying. we are going to talk about it every night. im curious,what do you mean you said"decreased the length of feeds" can you explain.
congrats on your preganancy!!!!!!
i may email you more of my thoughts tommorrow if you don't mind.
Tracy, do read the Jay Gordon stuff. I thought it was so gentle for both of us. It talks about starting to restrict the length of feeds...I forget the exact routine but every few nights, you reduce it more, until you get to zero. I found it helped my son se that he could manage without milk, by first getting some but not falling asleep at the breast. Then eventually not having the breast at all. It worked really well for us. Like I said, we stopped the night feeds first using this routine...he was sleeping through the night 2 nights after he stopped getting any milk through the night. Then we tackled bedtime, then morning. I could see it in his eyes when we'd start a new phase - "what are you doing? oh, right, here we go." But he'd adjust, and I did too. I remember feeling quite distraught when i first started thinking about weaning my ds. I did the same as you - started talking about it on here, with friends, reading up. It took me a few months to get to a place where I was ready and could do it. What do you invision your timeline for weaning/FET cycle? You may want to consider how long you're prepared to wait before doing the FET - waiting 2 months? 6 months? It's tough to balance both needs - a need for a sibling and a need to nurse your lo.

I feel like I need counseling..LOL. I'm actually feeling better about it now and reading Jay Gordan's strategy right now. Thanks for your help!!!!!!! It seems like we can try this.......No one ever told me weaning was a journey(for me) too. We'll see how my son deals with it next week. We were hoping for FET in January...or March. Yes, I know soon.
Okay I may shot you out my thoughts a little later today. How are you feeling???? Any morning sickness or such??
I hope you are well and enjoying your pregnancy today.
Last night was the first night of starting to wean. It went amazingly well. Ds was only up for 1 hour and 10 minutes. During his frustration and some tears we were able to talk about it and he again would wave to "the boobie" then he'd cry again and we walked and hugged. He went back to sleep at 1:40 and did not wake until 5:53. I nursed because it was so close to his getting up time. I am so proud of him and made him raisin cinnamon pancakes. I hope tonight goes as well. Ahhhh...it feels like this can really happen. My anxiety is low. Thanks so much for listening and giving advice. If you have any more wisdom please pass it along and I too will keep you posted. Have a great day.
So glad to hear your first night went so well. It's so hard to take that first step, or at least it was for me. Glad your son could understand what was going on, could mourn it and get more sleep. They are amazing and resilient! I hope the next few nights go well, with shorter wake ups every night. and glad to hear your anxiety has come down. It sucks to do these things. I had naively thought that my ds would eventually just wean himself. I concluded eventually that this would likely never happen and I had to nudge him along.
Hugs to you both! I'm doing ok...had a scare last week of bleeding but all is well - one little baby in there growing just fine. It appears that they started out as two and one decided not to continue, which caused the bleed. Our stress level is much lower now that we know everything is ok.

Oh my that must have been a scare for you. I am glad everything turned out fine. had you had the feeling(suspected) there were two babies? was your beta high?
losing a baby early on can still be sad. i hope you are okay with it all.
last night was HORRIBLE! and i expect tonight to be also. he just kept waking and being frustrated. cannot blame him. today we went to the park. on thursday we are going to storytime at the library and i just keep telling him what a big boy he is and he doesn't need the boobie to fall asleep.
now im feeling like i cannot wait to get pregnant again and move ahead. so much of my guilt of weaning him has left. thanks again for the support.
canada huh? I i am from los angeles even though i am living in oregon now. needless to say i am a big laker fan.....we we got steve nash!!!!!!

I hope you are feeling well.
My son has been amazing. He wakes and falls back to sleep and sometimes i have to rub his back. he no longer asks for milk when he wakes and i am ver proud of him and so glad i at least waited to be able to communicate to him what was happening. We spent the weekend at m mother-in-laws and he did great.
i will wait awhile and then tackle the" nurse to sleep" pattern for going to bed and naps. Any tips? thanks again for being to understanding and helpful. it is validating to know others are and have gone through this.....
The Oregon coast is beautiful.
glad things are going so well. our little ones are amazing, aren't they. So many times I have been amazed by my son's ability to roll with changes in his life that I would think would be pretty significant to a toddler - weaning, changing beds, my return to work. He always manages these changes way better than I expect.
When I proceeded to wean my ds from his bedtime feeds and then his morning feed, I used the same approach I used for night weaning, hoping he'd realize the same pattern was playing out so that he'd hopefully know what was coming. I think routine helps kids - so I kept to the same method. Also, we developed a new routine to replace the old one - cuddles and stories at bedtime. I think I started adding stories before he was actually fully weaned to help make the transition gradual. That's what worked for us. I'm sure you will find a system that works for you.

Adam Gragg, who turns 16 on Thursday, faces charges of violating the conditions of a minor school license and leaving the scene of an accident.
The license violation was filed Oct. 31, according to online court records. Keokuk County Attorney John Schroeder said he filed a delinquency complaint for leaving the scene of an accident on Oct. 25, but the complaint is still working its way through the juvenile court system.
A juvenile court officer meets with the juvenile and his parents before referring a juvenile petition back to the county attorney. Schroeder said he hasn't yet received a petition on the leaving the scene of an accident complaint.
The adult equivalent of the charge would be a class D felony, punishable by a prison term of up to five years.
"He doesn't face a five-year prison term because he's a juvenile," Schroeder said. "But there is a wide variety of things that could occur."
The charges stem from an accident on Sept. 2 that killed What Cheer woman Christine Smith, 36, in the small Keokuk County community. Gragg was driving a minivan east on West Washington Street about 9:20 p.m. when authorities say he hit Smith, who was walking east in the street.
Witnesses reported that Gragg didn't stop and instead stopped the van after hitting Smith, and instead drove a few blocks to a fire station to get help, according to the Iowa State Patrol. A Des Moines-based media outlet in October reported that the State Patrol recommended against charging Gragg with leaving the scene of an accident.
But authorities denied that and said they hadn't yet met to discuss possible charges.

Amar'e Stoudemaire, Forward-Center, Cypress Creek High School, Florida
Drafted: 2002 by the Phoenix Suns, 1st Round (9th overall)
Amar'e Stoudemire entered the 2002 NBA Draft straight out of Cypress Creek High School in Orlando, Florida, where he averaged 29.1 points and 15 rebounds per game. It was these impressive stats that got him selected to play in the 2002 McDonald's All-American Game at Madison Square Garden, his future home court.
STAT had the honor of being named Florida's Mr. Basketball, and Florida High School Player of the Year by the Orlando Sentinel newspaper. He then went on to earn a spot on the USA Today's All-USA Basketball First Team. After establishing himself as one of the best young players in the country, Stoudemire decided to forego college and enter the draft.
With a talented roster of hopefuls looking to begin their NBA career, Stoudemire was the only candidate to come straight from high school that year. Chinese superstar, Yao Ming, was selected as the first pick overall by the Houston Rockets. The draft was chock full of foreign players, including: Bostjan Nachbar, Milos Vujanic, and Nenad Krstic. Also picked were future New York Knicks teammate, Jared Jefferies (who was selected 11th by the Washington Wizards) and future opponents, Carlos Boozer (currently of the Chicago Bulls, selected 35th by the Cleveland Cavaliers), and the L.A. Clippers' Matt Barnes (selected as the 46th pick by the Memphis Grizzlies).
Expecting him to thrive on a dynamic team that already included Stephon Marbury, Shawn Marion and Anfernee Hardaway, the Phoenix Suns and Coach Frank Johnson selected Amar'e 9th overall. He proved himself as a good pick for the team after being named Rookie of the Year, starting 71 out of the 82 regular season games and being named to the 2002-2003 All-Rookie First Team.
Stoudemire then went on the have a successful eight-year career with the Phoenix Suns, establishing himself as an explosive offensive player averaging almost 20 ppg. During his time with the team, STAT was consistently named an NBA All-Star, a member of the All-NBA First Team or Second Team and a member of Team USA, taking home Olympic medals.
The New York Knicks acquired Stoudemire in a sign-and-trade deal in 2010. Amar'e famously declared upon his arrival that the "Knicks are back." That season he led the team to their first NBA Playoffs since 2004. Thus far, Amar'e has averaged 20.8 ppg and over seven rebounds in his three seasons in New York. Despite some injury setbacks, Amar'e has shown an admirable willingness to adjust his game and recently has had very encouraging success developing a post game under the tutelage of NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon.
