This mod started as a request (by me) in the Cleric Remix workroom for Anomen to be awarded a Priest of Helm kit upon passing his knighthood test. Deciding this was outside Remix's remit I quickly spun it off into its own mod. Perhaps too quickly. A couple of days later I thought that the mod could be bigger and the NPC Kit Pack was born, designed simply to give those NPCs without kits the chance improve their lot. Originally I had only planned on giving each NPC one of the original BioWare kits. This, however, turned out not to be feasible. This mod will add four new kits and provide the opportunity to give a kit to eight of the BioWare NPCs. The complete readme is also available.
Contents of the mod:
* Anomen will gain the Priest of Helm kit on passing his knighthood test.
* Anomen will gain the Berserker kit on failing his knighthood test.
* Chaotic Neutral Anomen will not get a Holy Symbol.
* Edwin's kit title and description to be changed to Red Wizard (Conjurer).
* Imoen & Nalia get an Adventurer kit and/or specialist mage kit.
* Korgan gets a proper Battlerager kit as is fitting for a berserker dwarf.
* Mazzy gets a proper Truesword of Arvoreen kit, instead of the psuedo kit she has now.
* Minsc's kit title to be changed to Rashemaar Ranger.
* Sarevok gets a proper Deathbringer kit, instead of the one ability he has now.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
It's not often you hear investment bankers describe market conditions as "scary".
But as Goldman Sachs Managing Director and Vice Chairman for Australia Alastair Lucas admits, Australia is in an "extraordinary slump". The veteran who has spent more than three decades generating deals, believes the industry is uncharted — and unwelcome — territory.
"I've never seen market conditions quite as extraordinary as the ones we have at the moment, I've certainly never seen market conditions as scary as they are," Mr. Lucas said at a Financial Services Institute of Australasia conference on Wednesday.
This post has been updated.
UBS has promoted Dane FitzGibbon and Barry Sharkey to co-heads of capital markets while the group moves towards an integrated securities platform.
"We have decided to move back to co-heads for Capital Markets to ensure maximum revenue across the entire capital structure," Australasian staff were advised in an email seen by Deal Journal Australia.

The first time you run this app, it will ask for full permission to your Google account. This is unfortunately the only way to access the required information. No personal information is stored, no information about your apps is shared with the developer of this app, nor shared with any third parties. Everything is kept on your phone only.
Known bugs (that I'm working on):
• Every once in a while, the app may no longer work for you. The app works by accessing a Google website, and every once in a while, Google will show a password reminder or similar, instead of the actual page with your list of apps ( https://play.google.com/store/account?hl=en ). Please try using the Login Fix menu item, if you're told your account has no paid apps.
• Android versions <4.0 does not show a loading spinner. Please be patient when clicking the update button, Gingerbread users!
THIS APPLICATION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH SOME SAMSUNG DEVICES! Devices with Samsung Knox or other security solutions may not be able to utilize the live patching and the ModPE Script Runtime of BlockLauncher. Patching .mod-formatted patches and texture packs still work. A fix is being worked on.
BlockLauncher is a custom Minecraft PE launcher that wraps around Minecraft PE and provides loading of patches, texture packs, and mods.
(formerly known as MCPELauncher)
Just choose Options on the main screen, then select mods. It is that easy!
THIS MAY NOT WORK ON ALL DEVICES! If it crashes with your device, please post on the forum thread with your device model and your operating system version for support.
THIS APP REQUIRES THE FULL VERSION OF MINECRAFT PE TO RUN. The demo version or the J version is not supported.
This program loads libminecraftpe.so from the currently installed copy of Minecraft PE, so it should be compatiable with the mod patching features of PocketTool and QuickPatch.
Jelly Bean users: currently, this application cannot load original textures from copies of Minecraft installed by Google Play on Android 4.1 and above. The built-in texture pack will be used.
- Patch up to 3 patches

QR Code Reader
"Quick and very reliable. I'd give it six stars if it were possible."
"No ads, beautiful design, and even caught blurry QR codes I didn't expect it to scan"
To scan a QR code simply open the app, point the camera at the code, and you're done! There is no need to take a photo or press a button. QR Code Reader will automatically recognize any QR code your camera is pointing at.
When scanning a QR code, if the code contains a website URL, you will automatically be taken to the site. If the code just contains text, you'll immediately see it. For other formats such as phone numbers, email addresses, or contact info, you will be prompted to take the appropriate action.
• View a history list of all of your past scans

Our goal is to make our app the best scanning app in the store. We can't do this without you. We are dedicated to your satisfaction and need to hear feedback from you. If you have an issue with QR Code Reader, please do not write a review of the app saying "it didn't work." This does not help us make things better for you. Instead, please contact us at email@example.com or on Twitter @scan and we'll do our best to help.
In order to use QR Code Reader, your device must have a built-in camera. When scanning codes that redirect to online content, such as websites, you will need Internet connectivity.

Grizz & Dozer's Memorial South African ride.
View Single Post
Studly Adventurer
Joined: Mar 2004
Location: Rochester, KENT, UK.
Oddometer: 899
Early on Day 10 we got up and packed our kit onto the bikes.
The Whale took a few stabs at the starter button to fire up, as her chokes had long since been removed, so Dozer and I would kneel next to her like suitors to ask her nicely to start up with our finger manually poking up the sides of her carbs, holding up the levers till she fired up.
We quietly left the hotel grounds and rode in the cold morning air,down the pass we had come up the night before, it did not take long before we hit a wet, cold mist on the Transkei roads we were on, still not fully light, I am not sure which was worse, the cold or fogged up visors..... the minute you opened the visor to see where you were headed, of course the cold made your eyes stream, and early morning bugs were a threat as well.
Again, the mad driving and absolute lack of fear of death, maiming and dismemberment of cars, minibus taxis and trucks continued to surprise me.
We rode to Maclear where we stopped to fill the bikes, buy a machine coffee and eat our packed breakfasts.
The local girls in the shop insisted on coming out and posing around the bikes with the cheekier of the two crawling onto the Whale before I could object, doing the whole Nicholas Cage on a Harley from Hell thing for her mate to photograph on a mobile phone.
They had also asked us to come inside and eat our breakfast at their tables, but we declined, mainly because we had already set it out.
This had to be my pic of the day.....
No wonder the driving standards are what they are.
Memories of the village where we grew up.... septic tanks and the weekly "Suckit Suzy" sessions before mains sewerage was installed.
Another sample of Wildest South Africa.....
Spares delivery, but the rifle actually belongs to the delivery driver, here being played with by one of the locals...... The driver carries it with him, in case he sees something worth shooting along the way.
We carried on for a long time as this was going to be a loooong day.
Thankfully we got stopped at a Police checkpoint, and the ol guy who "inspected" my bike was happy to take a photo once he had asked about the tank size on the whale and our destination.
At the stop, Dozer had said to me it was time for a smoke break, and that he would wait for me at the top of the hill when he found a place to pull over.
So when I caught up, he was smoking and relaxing, inspecting some water pipes etc by the road side.
Next thing we heard a typical, traditional Xhosa herdsman singing at a distance and saw him come walking with his flock.
Where we stopped was actually a livestock crossing, and the evidence as on the road surface where something had very recently been hit and bled out.
Anyway, the pics should tell the story.
Zoooom lenses what to do without them?
Note the fresh blood on the tarmac,
More in a bit.....
Some homework to deal with.

Linda Milazzo: Not surprisingly in this election year, Brad Sherman is ginning up his Jewish constituency (who usually vote), and Jews in general (who usually donate), with his unrelenting support for Israel – including Israel's controversial boarding of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla's Mavi Mara and its killing of eight Turkish citizens and one Turkish American citizen – an act internationally condemned by all nations except Israel's steadfast ally, the United States.
A Campaign To Divest From Mideast Apartheid
Helen Thomas: Asking the Questions Real Democracy Demands
Lydia Howell: When one considers how many scoundrels remain in powerful positions in both public and private life, the swiftness with which Helen Thomas was dumped after 50 years of reporting on U.S. presidents was breathtaking. More so when you listen to TV talking-heads blandly repeating corporate and Pentagon PR as "news" and Faux News blowhards like Beck and Limbaugh shamelessly make vicious slanders, perpetrate outright lies and create disinformation.
Israel's Talking Points, the Media, and the Cement Missile Threat
Carl Bloice: The purpose in this case is to underscore the contention that the cruel blockade of Gaza is to prevent the smuggling of arms and weapons-making material into the enclave. It is not and never has been. The aim of the blockade is to make life miserable for the 1.4 million Palestinians there in the hope of undermining the Hamas government, which was duly elected four years ago. Gaza is being held for ransom. That's collective punishment and it's against international law.
The Right to Exist: Who Has It? Where Is It? Why?
GAry Coseri: The Zionist state demands the right to exist as a Zionist state—a non-signatory of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, bristling with nuclear weapons. Did Yahweh come out of the clouds and declare that this state alone can break all the rules of international decorum with impunity, without censure?
John Peeler: But suppose there were no violence by the activists, just a refusal to comply with what they held to be an illegal seizure of their ships in support of an illegal blockade and an illegal occupation. The Israeli government and military are manifestly completely unprepared for that. They know only how to respond to Palestinian violence with disproportionate force.
Israeli Attack's Silver Lining?
Israel's Calculated Brutality
Jim Fuller: Israel's perpetual claims to victimhood, and a supposedly resulting right to brutalize the people of Gaza, Lebanon, and any other peoples it chooses, have worn through at last, at least in the finally opened eyes of a large and growing minority in this country. The claim is a tactic, not a truth.

|Tindersticks chronology
The Something Rain is the ninth studio album by British band Tindersticks, released in February 2012 on their own Lucky Dog Recordings label in the UK, on City Slang Records in Europe, and on Constellation Records in North America.
The initial impetus for making a new album came from ideas for a story EP written by keyboard player David Boulter (which became the opening track "Chocolate"), and the album was recorded in stages over the course of a year at the band's studio in France.[1] The recording of the album was overshadowed by the deaths of several friends and family members, but the band were determined to react to the experience positively, rather than wallow in melancholia – Boulter said in an interview that "we didn't want that for the people that'd gone. It was more that the sadness gave us energy to push even harder. To do something great."[2]
In a video interview with the Dutch online music magazine FaceCulture, singer Stuart Staples said the album's title was inspired by a story related by guitarist David Kitt, when Kitt had been sent to a songwriting workshop in the United States, and a fellow attendee was having trouble finding a suitable adjective to describe the song he was writing.[3]
The album's cover is taken from a work of art titled Skies, September '10–September '11 by Staples' wife Suzanne Osborne, and photographed by guitarist Neil Fraser.
Critical reception[edit]
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
|BBC Music
|Drowned in Sound
|The Guardian
|The Independent on Sunday
|Pitchfork Media
Reviews for the album were generally positive. The Guardian noted that "Tindersticks' maudlin, jazz-streaked music feels as vividly wearied as ever".[7] BBC Music said "At times, the results here are slightly obtuse... It may not be a Tindersticks classic, in the same vein as 1997's sublime Curtains, but The Something Rain is a record full of mystery and intrigue that will keep you listening—and discovering new things each time—for a good while"[5] and Mojo said that "...for all its gentle yet intense reflection, it's never overtly maudlin".[9] Uncut declared that Tindersticks were "a band who seem to have rediscovered new ways of putting together their already impressive constituent parts".[13] Q stated that "their content has never strayed too far from their discomfort zone... The Something Rain keeps Tindersticks' value high."[12] MusicOMH was enthusiastic, stating that "The Something Rain arguably tops [Falling Down a Mountain], seeing the band in superlative form... It may be nearly two decades since their debut album but The Something Rain sounds like a band in their prime, switching between styles effortlessly and enjoying a new lease of life."[10] Drowned in Sound was similarly won over, declaring that "for the first time in nearly a decade, Tindersticks sound urgent again... The result is a glorious, heady swirl of a record... To be able to create something this beautiful at such an advanced stage in a bands lifespan is a true testament to the skill and sorcery found in every limb, larynx and lovelorn heart of this band."[6]

WALLA WALLA — Morgan Maddess is a mild-mannered young man who smiles often.
He's also a whirling dervish who whacks opposing ball carriers and quarterbacks with a fist-pumping relish.
The change takes place between the locker room and the football field.
Between the two, he's self-effacing and smiling, with ample praise for his Blue Devil teammates, until he reaches the gridiron.
Then, between the sidelines a gleam appears in his eyes and he looks for someone to thump.
As hard as he can.
And as a compact 5-foot-11, 185-pound linebacker, that's plenty hard, even for the Big Nine Conference where ball carriers and quarterbacks match him pound-for-pound.
"Morgan has been a key component of our defense all year long," Wa-Hi coach Marc Yonts said. "He is a perfect fit at middle linebacker.
"He's tough. He can run. He can hit. And he's disciplined," Yonts said. "He has a great attitude every day, and he truly loves playing football.
"He makes everybody around him better because of the way he plays the game," Yonts added.
Last week, Maddess played a key role in the Blue Devils' second-half defensive effort that shut out Richland in the come-from-behind 35-21 Blue Devil victory.
"It was a lot of fun coming back to beat Richland," Maddess said softly. "The first half wasn't so much fun, but the second half was a blast."
Maddess was born in Walla Walla at St. Mary's Medical Center.
He attended Edison Elementary and Pioneer Middle schools before Wa-Hi.
"I've played football, baseball and basketball every year so far," he said.
And so far he remains undecided about what he will do after graduation.
"I'm still trying to figure out what fits me best," he said. "I'm thinking about going into the military."
If he does that, he will probably chose the U.S. Marine Corps, he said.
"I just don't know yet," he said. "I've been thinking about it since middle school."
As usual, with a full sports schedule, Maddess doesn't have much spare time.
And he has a job.
"In my spare time I work," he said. "I cater at Whitman College for Bon Appetit.
"And then I just hang out," Maddess added.
He does, however, make some time to enjoy music and movies.
He spreads his taste in music over a broad area that he stores on his IPod.
"I listen to all sorts of music," Maddes said in his mild-manered mode. "I like Tom Petty, some Country Music and some Rock."
Maddess becomes a bit more selective, even hard-nosed, in his taste for movies.
"I really like action movies, like 'Zombieland,' movies like that," he said with his eyes lighting up. "They have great (special) effects.
Programs list 'Zombieland' as a Comedy/Horror movie directed by Ruben Fleischer with a cast that includes Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin.
One ad for the movie goes like this: "Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their (rear ends). In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other."
It's kind of like the mild-mannered young man meets the Whirling Dervish.
Maddess also enjoys the new James Bond, Daniel Craig.
"I haven't seen the newest James Bond movie ('Quantum of Solace'). I've been meaning to watch it, but I haven't had a chance," he said.
"I saw the one before this latest one ('Casino Royale'), and I like that. It was good," Maddess said.
Morgan is the son of Theresa Maddess, and he has one brother and two sisters.
"My older sister Robin is working with the school district in Seattle. My sister Jen (Jennifer) is at Vet Tech School in Bellingham," Maddess said. "My brother Jeremy is going to WWCC in the Fire Safety Program."
As the Blue Devils move into postseason play, Maddess remains primarily focused on football.
"This year has been a lot of fun so far, and I hope it keeps rolling," he said. "As usual, we're just going to take it one game at a time against Moses Lake.
"I'm excited," he said. "We know they have a good team.
"We went up there last year and beat them, so I hope we can hold our own." Maddess said. "We've had a pretty good rivalry with Moses.
"I'd like to win," he said.
He added that last with a mild voice, but he had that gleam in is eye.
Wa-Hi vs. Moses Lake
WALLA WALLA — Wa-Hi, after an exciting come-from-behind victory over Richland last week, takes on a look-alike Moses Lake team in a Big Nine Conference Divisional Crossover game at Borleske Stadium Friday night.
Trailing 21-7 in the fourth quarter against the Bombers, Wa-Hi roared back for a 35-21 victory.
"What a great win and a great finish," Wa-Hi coach Marc Yonts said. "We obviously got ourselves in a few holes in the first half (with four turnovers).
"The kids really stepped up the second half," he continued. "We started hanging onto the football to sustain some drives.
"We played some great defense," he said. "And we were able to turn away a good Richland team.
"Coming back like that was really, really special," he said. "Not only did we get close and tie it up with some time left, but we were able to turn them away and create some turnovers of our own (two) and go score."
Now its playoff time against another long-time rival, if not a long-time nemesis.
"Moses Lake is real similar to us in a lot of ways," Yonts said. "You go through the whole thing statistically: They're third in their league (4-2, 5-3). We're third in our league (5-2, 5-3). We're up in the top two or three in offense (second, 2,801 yards, 250 points). So are they (third, 2,731 yards, 225 points).
And its the same on defense, the whole thing, points allowed and points scored."
On defense, Wa-Hi ranks third, allowing 1,743 yards and 136 points while the Chiefs rank second, allowing 1,713 yards and 148 points.
"And they're a big-play offense," Yonts said. "They're quarterback throws it around real well. He runs well. He runs real well. He throws extremely well.
"They have some great receivers who are making big plays for them," he added.
The Chiefs' quarterback, Dylan Signorelli, has passed for 1,581 yards and 17 touchdowns with five interceptions.
The leading Chiefs' receivers are Jordan Wilks (30 catches for 449 yards and eight touchdowns) and Jimmy Molina (30-323-3).
Wa-Hi quarterback Michael Weisner has passed for 1,289 yards and 16 TDs with five interceptions.
Gary Winston now leads Wa-Hi receivers with 24 catches for 399 yards and nine TDs.
Wa-Hi's receiver/defensive back Colton Arias may return this week after a leg injury. He has 20 catches for 273 yards and four TDs.
Wa-Hi holds an edge at moving the ball on the ground, 1,460 yards to 1,119 yards.
Austin Schilling leads Blue Devil ball carriers with 138 rushes for 781 yards and seven touchdowns.
Brandon Lublin leads the Chiefs with 103 carries for 544 yards and five TDs.
"Their defense is designed to stop the big play, and they're doing it," Yonts said. "They present their share of challenges.
"Good quarterbacks have been a challenge for us," Yonts said. "We need to shore up our pass defense for sure and to create some problems for that guy.
"Hopefully we'll have Arias back," he said. "He's out jogging around and practicing. We hope he will be able to go full speed and sprint a little bit. This would be a good time to have him back."

The study of history is learning through inquiry
The word "history," Greek in origin, means "learning through inquiry," and that is precisely what our professors of history and their students do. At UVM the study of history is much more than memorizing dates, names, battles, and treaties. Together, students and faculty discover and interpret the past by asking questions and conducting research. In the process, students become educated people, possessing flexible minds and sophisticated world views, who are prepared to meet the challenges of a constantly changing and increasingly complex world.
A Community of Scholars and Teachers
Virtually every member of our department has won or been nominated for one or more of the university's awards for excellence in teaching. We are equally proud of the fact that we are a community of scholars involved in the active pursuit of historical understanding. Every member of the History faculty is a published author. As scholar-teachers we are committed to sharing our love of history and our search for historical insight with our students.
Our Students
The History Department enjoys a diverse group of students. Many who enroll in our classes are not history majors and many who are history majors have no intention of teaching history or otherwise becoming professional historians. What all of our students share is a passion for history and a desire to use its study as a means of deepening their insight into the human condition, sharpening their analytical skills, and improving their ability to express their insights in clear English prose. In other words, they have chosen history as their main avenue toward a well-rounded education.

Felicia amelloides (blue marguerite)
Felicia amelloides
Species information
Felicia amelloides (L.) Voss
blue marguerite, blue daisy, Paris daisy.
Not threatened.
Coastal sand dunes, sandy flats, exposed stony hillsides, gravelly slopes, basalt cliffs and among rock outcrops.
Ornamental, sand dune stabiliser.
None known.
About this species
Blue marguerite is a long-lived member of the daisy family, which can flower throughout the year. It belongs to the genus Felicia, which is thought to be named after a German official, Herr Felix, who died in 1846.
Discover more
Geography and distribution
This species is native to South Africa, where it can be found growing on coastal sand dunes, sandy flats, exposed stony hillsides, gravelly slopes, basalt cliffs and among outcropping rocks below 1,000 metres above sea level.
Felicia amelloides is a densely branched herbaceous perennial, which grows up to 1 m high. The stems are green to dark red and the leaves are rough, hairy and borne opposite each other on the stem. The leaves are dark green above and light green below. Because of a covering of short stiff hairs, stems and leaves can feel like fine sandpaper to the touch.
The compound flower head (capitulum) is bright yellow in the centre (the bisexual disc florets) with a ring of sky-blue female ray florets around the outside. The particularly striking flower heads are about 3 cm in diameter and are held well above the leaves on leafless stalks, which are up to 18 cm long. Unlike many other members of the daisy family, the flowerheads of F. amelloides do not close at night.
The cypselas (fruits) are dark brown with tiny hairs. Each fruit is shed with its pappus which, acting like a tiny parachute, helps to disperse them.
Threats and conservation
There are no major threats to this species in the wild at present. This could change in the future, as a result of the disturbance of coastal habitat by the construction industry, in particular for the building of holiday homes.
Felicia amelloides has appeared on South African stamps between 2000 and 2003 (see image, below). It is mainly used as an ornamental, but has also been used to stabilise sand dunes, due to its ability to withstand dry, windy areas.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life world wide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in our seed bank vault.
Description of seeds: Average 1,000 seed weight = 2 g
Number of seed collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: None
Composition values: Oil content 28.1%, Protein 18.8%
This South African Felicia makes an excellent garden plant. It is commonly found in cultivation in South Africa and is also grown in Europe. A variant with variegated leaves is available.
Blue marguerite can be propagated easily from cuttings or seeds. A free-draining substrate is required and plants should be given regular, moderate watering. Felicia amelloides has been grown from seed at Kew for display in the Temperate House, where temperatures are kept above a minimum of 3˚C in order to overwinter the plants successfully. A position in full sun is ideal. Whitefly and aphids have proved problematic from time to time and these are kept under control by the use of biological and cultural controls. In order to keep blue marguerites looking their best they should be re-propagated each year; however, it is easier to trim back the plants from time to time. Dead-heading can also be carried out to prolong the flowering period.
The blue marguerite at Kew
The Living Collections at both Kew Gardens and Wakehurst include blue marguerites. They can be seen growing at Kew in the Temperate House, in bed number 23.
South Africa Landscape - Kew at the British Museum
Between April and October 2010, Kew and the British Museum brought a small corner of South Africa to the heart of London. The South Africa Landscape celebrated a shared vision to strengthen cultural understanding and support biodiversity conservation across the world.
Felicia amelloides (blue marguerite) was one of the star plants featured in the Landscape.

How many nursing sessions does a 1 year old usually have? DS still nurses about 5-6 times a day including 1 or 2 MOTN sessions. Should I be night weaning? He doesn't really like a lot of food at this point, so I'm worried about his nutrition.
Frequency of a 1 year old
I believe Eliana can fly!

5-6 times plus 1-2 at night seems normal.
Also, you might be surprised at how little food is actually NEEDED for a 1-2 year old. WHO says 3-5 times a day of solids for 12-24 months....(and this isnt a lot either, think somewhere around 1-2oz veggies, 1-2oz fruit, 3 grain servings (like 1 pc bread, 2T rice, a little pasta) and 3-4oz protien TOTAL all day) Given that LO is just 12 months, you might not even need to give this much yet.

Toddler nursing varies a lot. If your kiddo isn't interested much in solids, then it is important for him to get lots of breastmilk. People often think that the breastmilk inhibits their interest in solids and that weaning will make them eat more solids, but that's not the case.
I have a 2.5 year old and we nurse. On weekends, we probably nurse at least 5-6x per day. On work days we nurse less, probably 4x/day. I recently night weaned her, but before I did that, she was probably nursing at least 6x per day (including nights) even on work days.
You may find more luck posting this on the "Extended Breastfeeding" board at http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a6355/extended_breastfeeding Come join us!
yep. sounds right to me.
Should you night wean? that's 100% YOUR call. He doesn't need to nurse motn, it's habit/comfort. DD still does and i'm ok with that.
As long as you're eating well, and taking your vits, then I wouldn't worry about him. Offer him a balance/healthy meal/snacks and he'll take it from there. DD didn't eat much for awhile, and some days still doesn't eat much. Sometimes it's a few bites or nothing, other meals it's half a chichen breast, cheese stick, and 1/4 cup of pea then a cracker! This am? 3 bites of blueberry toast, and a grape.
Dinner last night? She rejected the chicken and ate grapes (like a cup of grapes) and peanuts. Lunch she had a cheese stick, bread, rasins, peanuts.
12-month olds are so variable on nursing, it's hard to say what is normal. But it sounds like you are fine - and if he isn't eating solids then he is getting all his important nutrients from you, so I wouldn't plan to night wean yet. Most BF babies should only be getting 25% of their calories from solids at 12 months, so you're probably not that far behind in reality (lots of FTM push solids too much too early and end up weaning LO before they are biologically ready).
Honestly, I didn't actively night wean and DD just grew out of MOTN sessions on her own. She is 21 months and now she only wakes up and wants to nurse when she is sick or teething (we have a very slow teether over here, so that's been kinda frequent, LOL). Not waking at night is a developmental thing and not related to nutrition per se.
You should also join the Extended BFing group - those moms are super awesome and helpful!

What is a CMS and why do I need one?
At Dao By Design we build all our Web sites on Content Management Systems (CMS). This has become a no-brainer for our own workflow and productivity, as well as that of our clients.

The difference between "hosting" and "domain"
For anyone familiar with building or maintaining a Web site, this difference may seem elementary; however, we understand that for many non-technical clients or clients new to administering a Web site, the differences between what "hosting" is and what a "domain" is can be somewhat murky waters. Here's a quick KB article to clarify:What is Hosting?
Hosting is the physical space on which the site's files will sit. It is a computer ("server") located in a datacentre somewhere. When …
What's the difference between shared and dedicated IP addresses?
Before classifying types of IP addresses, perhaps we should clear up what an "IP address" is. An IP address is the numerical representation of a Web site's address. When you type in a domain name (ie. www.example.com) the computer accesses a special server that tells it what IP address is attached to that domain name. Domain names were created because they're easier to remember, and prettier, but computers work in cold, hard numbers. For example, the domain name Google.com is …

South Portland, Maine (PRWEB) December 27, 2012
Venous disease— a condition that can include varicose veins, spider veins, or deep vein thrombosis— is one of the most common health problems in the U.S. According to Dr. Cindy Asbjornsen of the Vein Healthcare Center in Maine, there are several options for conservative treatment of venous symptoms, including graduated compression therapy.
"Graduated compression stockings play a significant role in vein care and good vein health," said Dr. Asbjornsen. "They can prevent vein problems from occurring, relieve venous disease symptoms, and decrease the likelihood of a blood clot."
Here are some important things to know for those considering compression therapy:

John Henry Tweets
A Project of Cumbersome Multiples
November 25, 2014 – January 31, 2015
John Henry Tweets is a mash-up: Twitter meets antique wooden moveable type. Rather than folk legend John Henry's race against the steam drill, this contest is between physical and digital typesetting. Every letter matters, whether one is handwriting on a page, setting type on a letterpress, or watching the Twitter character countdown.
Throughout 2014, Cumbersome Multiples documented public gatherings of thinkers, artists, and writers through on-site printmaking. Phrases from talks were set in antique wooden type and printed in grey ink on cardstock as the programs progressed. Wet prints were pulled from a Line-O-Scribe proofing press and taped to the wall to create an immediate record—the real-time Twitter feed, reimagined.
The John Henry project uncovers the connective tissue between various public programs by distilling the emergent themes. Generally, audiences attend a lecture based on vocational interests; for example, architects filled seats to hear Metropolis publisher Susan Szenasy, and writers flocked to hear poet and activist, Joy Harjo. It is the combination of the speaker's words met by the enthusiasm of an audience that creates an engaging program. Cumbersome Multiples seeks to capture this texture. Across the lectures, the voices from different sectors created a choir of discernible themes interpreted through John Henry Tweets as: The Built Environment; Private Lives in Public Places, and Songs for the Trail, Voices and Blankets.
In the spirit of cross-pollination, Cumbersome Multiples has excerpted and recombined a selection of John Henry Tweets for this Community Showcase exhibit. In January, a new collection of broadsides will be made during Samiya Bashir's reading of her poem Corongraphy. Fittingly, the poem illuminates the interior voices of John Henry and his wife Polly Ann. The text moves easily off the page into performance. Cumbersome Multiples will engage with the text in two distinct ways: first, through a real-time print response to the poem's call during a performance held here in the Lab; and second, by continuing to produce limited-edition broadsides throughout the month of January as part of an accompanying Gallery Storefront Residency in MoCC's Gallery Store.

Originally written on Helmet2Helmet | Last updated 6/14/12
One of the league's worst kept secrets last year was the play of Kevin Kolb. After the Cardinals acquired him Philadelphia, and shelled out $21 million in guarantees as the hopeful franchise quarterback, Kolb fell way short of living up to to expectations. Though he appeared in just nine games, his numbers were the definition of pedestrian: 146-of-253 (57.7%) for 1,955 yards, nine touchdowns, eight interceptions, and three lost fumbles. Most importantly, he led the team to just two victories. Cards fans don't forget. And, apparently, they don't forgive, either. According to beat writer Darren Urban, Kolb was booed during Wednesday night's minicamp practice, also known as "Fan Fest 2012." Darren Urban @Cardschatter Yes, unfortunately. RT @_Fresh90s: @Cardschatter was Kolb really booed? #INeedAnswers 14 Jun 12 Reply Retweet Favorite There were an estimated 15,000 fans in attendance, so one can imagine how loud the boo birds were chirping.

Using brushes and brush-like effects, you'll be able to paint and draw in Illustrator in ways you can't in any other medium. We're going to take an in-depth look at each of the natural media tools, starting with the calligraphic brushes, including bristle brushes and the naturalistic art brushes.
And then along the way we're also going to look at a pair of effects that aren't actually brushes at all: the Blob Brush tool and variable-stroke profiles. Finally, we're going to look at ways to expand your toolset with tips for using the Wacom tablets, how to control scaling, using Draw Inside to paint brushstrokes actually within objects, and lots more. You'll be able to paint and draw in ways you never thought possible. So let's get started with Artistic Painting with Illustrator: Natural Media Brushes.
