Part of being in the Navy, at a very popular vacation spot, is that you are bound to run into old shipmates. Sure enough, day two, I spied a familiar face in the local coffee shop. Looking haggard.
Hey, how are you? How are things? I asked him. Just got into town.
Good. I leave in two days for DC. Done with my tour.
Ah, too bad. How was your last deployment?
I can tell.
(Laughing) Sorry…
It was disappointing that he was not going to be in town. Smart guys like him are invaluable to turn to even if he was stationed on a different ship. I wished him good luck in DC. That did not seem to me like a fair exchange, Japan for the Pentagram.
Later in the day, while returning to the humble confines of the Navy Lodge, I saw another guy I knew. I forgot where I knew him, only that I did not like him. A fact of life is that I (you) can't get along with everyone.
He grinned at me, as if he expected me to say hello. I just walked by him and went to my room. I hate playing fake. Why catch up with someone when you have nothing positive to say? Anyway, as I opened my door, I remembered. He had a very college way about him, with not a military bone in his body. And I did not agree with him on anything. Ah well, hopefully he is not on my new ship…

This yummy oatmeal cookie recipe is one of the many ways for breastfeeding/pumping mamas to maintain their milk supply. Bake a batch for yourself and share with other lactating mamas you know, homemade goodies that support breastfeeding show you care! **Please note: the use of lactation cookies is not approved for milk donors through Prolacta Bioscience.**
Here are some tips before you get started:
- Whole oats should always be used – not 'quick' oats (the type that cook in a few minutes in the microwave). Be sure when you buy your oats ('oatmeal') that you are purchasing whole, natural rolled oats. If you can get the extra thick oats, that's even better.
- Do NOT substitute the Brewer's Yeast with regular yeast for making bread. You can find Brewer's Yeast at natural food markets, health food stores or large grocery stores.
- Flax seed is prepped many ways. The version most useful for baking is the milled flax seed that you will find in your local store.
- This recipe makes a lot of cookies! Instead of baking all the cookies at once, freeze some of the dough. Scoop the dough into balls onto a large baking sheet or 13×9 inch pan. Place in the freezer until hard. Then transfer to a ziplock bag or air-tight container. This allows you to bake one tray at a time and enjoy fresh hot cookies whenever you want! Bake frozen dough for about one minute longer.
Lactation Cookies**
4 Tablespoons water
1 cup butter, soften to room temperature
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour (all-purpose or white whole wheat)
3-4 Tablespoons brewer's yeast
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a small bowl, combine the flax seed meal and water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl or stand-up mixer, beat butter and brown sugar well.
- Add eggs and beat well.
- Add flax seed mixture and vanilla, beat well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, brewer's yeast, baking soda & salt.
- Add dry ingredients to butter mixture, mix well.
- Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
- Scoop by rounded tablespoons onto baking tray.
- Bake 12 minutes.
- Cool on baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Be creative and try these variations or additions:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- flaked or shredded coconut
- dried cranberries, cherries, apricots or raisins
- white chocolate chips
Other tips to maintain your milk supply:
Remember to keep up your water intake. Have a glass of water next to you every time you breastfeed (right next to your cookies!). Ideally have a water bottle with you all the time and try to sip every 15 minutes.
Offer the breast more frequently. Demand equals supply as far as breast milk goes – when you pump or your baby is nursing at the breast it sends signals to make more milk!

How many serving are you supposed to have in a day?
I tried to find the Brewer's yeast. I didn't realize until I got home that I had purchased Brewer's Yeast FLAKES. Is this the same thing or do I have to continue my search?
Thank you,
Annalee Nelson
can you eat to much of this? how long should one batch last you?
I suggest making up a batch and then baking only what you intend on eating within a day or two. They are much better fresh.
I looked at the container I bought and it didn't say flakes but I looked inside and it did look like ground up fish food flakes! Give it a try before you buy something else. I would guess that flakes is just a different texture. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Is it okay for non breast feeding people (aka my husband and son) to eat these too?
Absolutely! My husband and kids not only ate them but LOVED them!
[…] can find lots of different variations for these cookies online. I adapted recipes from the "Milkin' Mamas" and BellyBelly.com websites. The key ingredients were easy to find at natural foods and/or […]
I made a batch of these to aid my re-lactation but I HATE them! I had to throw them all in the bin! I don't know if it is the brewers yeast or what but they leave a disgusting ammonia after taste in my mouth. Eeeeew beware! Will just have a nice honey wheat beer instead!
I'm so bummed the cookies didn't work for you Annita! I've made them several times and they always turn out delicious! -alice
Can the dough be refrigerated? If so, for how long? I made three dozen three different ways, and they were delicious! My husband ate one dozen with cinnamon, raisins, and white chocolate chips all on his own! One dozen just had chocolate chips (least favorite), and the other dozen had craisins, walnuts, and white chocolate chips. I put the rest of the dough in the fridge, but I want to make sure it is still good. Thanks!
We made these and they were wonderful! My friend added some opened fenugreek capsules to ours as well. I was also wondering how many should be considered a serving? We made them all, which ended up being about 4 dozen cookies, and I am slightly embarrassed to say that they were gone in about a week and a half!
I love the cookies!! How many do you need to eat to see a difference in your milk production?
I use a cup of flax, 1/2 cup of brown and 1/2 cup of white sugars and 1 1/2 cup of oats….. and the choc baking melts work best!
Can you substitute the flour or whole wheat flour with gluten free flour? I ask cause we are on a gluten-free diet. It is just easier to have us all eat it then making sure that my son who can't have it doesn't get ahold of anything with gluten.
Love these cookies & have made lots of variations. Great for any nursing momma & her family will eat them too. I could not take Fenugreek (hard on my tummy & gave my little one terrible gas!) so this was a great alternative.
I also substitute approx 1/2 cup almond meal for 1/2 flour to fortify with protein. For freezing I roll the dough into a log and wrap in press'n seal. Then I can just cut them into perfect round cookies for the next batch. Thank You!!!!
I made these but halved the ingredients and oh my god they are lovely! I had to guess some measurements as I work in grams but they are so nice but I have few questions – his many do u recommend eating to boost supply and how long before it kicks in?
I'm off to the grocery store to purchase items to may batch. I hope it turns out okay.
These look good, and I've been trying to find a way to increase my supply. One question though, if I leave the chocolate chips out, do I need to modify the quantities of the other ingredients? I'm just curious. Thanks!
Just made the batch and used 1 C honey & 1/2 C brown sugars turned out great! Seems like there's a LOT of butter, what is the approximate calorie count per cookie and how many cookies do you suggest eating per day/week? Next time I'm going to try using unsweetened applesauce instead of butter.
Okay, I finished my 1st batch of cookies (I've never baked cookies from scratch before). I think they turned out great. Well, at least that's what my tasters said. Everyone loved them, They were flat, which I didn't mind, because I like flat cookies. Nevertheless, they were very great in flavor. This recipe was fairly easy. I just hope it helps in boosting my milk supply; along with the instructions given. I'm so glad I opted to make it instead of purchasing it.
Thank you for this recipe. I'm so glad I found this website.
After a lengthy search for the yeast, I finally have all the ingredients to make my cookies tonight! I have 3 close girlfriends who have all also had babies recently (5 babies within a month of each other; one had twins!), so will make the full batch, and deliver some cookies to my mommy friends tomorrow!
I made these today but substituted 1c coconut oil instead of butter and coconut flour instead of regular flour. The dough is so crumbly and feels almost completely dry! It was very hard to make the dough stick together enough to put on the cookie sheet but I managed. But the cookies are very dry and crumbly too. Any suggestions?
I am not familiar substituting with coconut oil or coconut flour. I have substituted half the white flour for whole wheat flour and the results were good. Also, I have used the vegan "butter" replacements and it works great.
I made these yesterday, but I used half coconut oil and half butter and the texture is perfect! I used 4 T of brewers yeast and 8 capsules of fenugreek, and the cookies have an odd aftertaste, so will play with those ingredients till I sort that out, but all in all, a success! I ate the equivalent of about 4-6 small cookies yesterday and there is an immediate noticeable difference this morning…one of my breast pads was wet when I woke, that's never happened with this little one before!

I made these just now. I ate the dough raw too! I have to say they are delicious and super healthy. I used coconut oil instead of butter. The cookies remind me of peanut butter cookies. I used white chocolate chips. I hope this works for me. I'm breast feeding fine (I think) but I need to pump. Fingers crossed!
For the person asking about coconut flour in the cookies- it doesn't match 1:1 with wheat flour, so you have to play with it. Coconut flour apparently absorbs much more liquid than wheat, so I've been advised to start with a half cup in a recipe like this calling for 2 c wheat flour, and then add more until the dough looks right. Haven't tried it yet, but would work for a paleo diet that way. My LO has dairy and soy intolerance so I'm using 1/2 c coconut oil (subs 1:1 for butter) and 1/2 applesauce and the cookies turn out perfectly every time. Love this recipe!!!
I love these cookies instead of chocolate chips i added a tablespoon of cinnamon and a tables spoon of apple pie spice. it sweetened them right up.
I've made the BellyBelly version of these cookies & I made several different batches which made me realize that I HATE putting the oats in my cookie batter. I ended up throwing that whole entire batch away because I couldn't stand the awful taste. Are the oats needed for them to work properly?
I just ask because I've made many batches without the oats & I put A LOT of brewers yeast in it like the BellyBelly website suggests, but I don't really get any results! Please help me because I'm out of options & I'll soon have to switch my LO to formula if I can't produce more milk :'(
Other lactation cookie recipes call for steel cut oats so I thought they would work just fine in this recipe. While the cookies tasted great, the steel cut oats just didn't soften up quite enough in the baked cookie. Stick with the rolled oats for this recipe. Otherwise, they are really tasty.
I made these for my breastfeeding class and they absolutely loved them!! I added about a tablespoon of white sugar because I was running low on the brown sugar and I also added what was suggested at the bottom on the recipe was a teaspoon on cinnamon. Great recipe!!!
Can you make these egg free? My baby has allergies
So in regards to what Annita said, I too thought them a bit weird tasting. I know it was the brewers yeast. However, with time, they got better and the funny taste went away. Otherwise, a good cookie!
Does the type of Brewer's Yeast matter? I have a debittered variety that is derived from beet root. Anyone know more about the types of Brewer's Yeast? Thanks.
Just wanted to update, they are definitely better without the fenugreek! I make a full batch about every other week, baking half and putting half the dough in the fridge for later baking. We went on a last minute trip and I still had u baked dough, so I baked the cookies, cooled them, packed them in ziplock and threw in the freezer. When we returned, I pulled the bag from the freezer and left on the counter to defrost…never would have guessed they spent time frozen, same as always, so that is another storage option. HTH!
I just made these with a few modifications and they are delicious! I added 6 ounces of minced dried fruit and 4 ounces of butterscotch chips in addition to the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon listed as an option. The cookie dough sat for about 30 minutes (on the countertop) to allow some of the moisture to be absorbed by the oats. I scooped out a tablespoon of dough, rolled it into a ball, and flattened the center with my thumb. A 10 min bake was all they needed. Wonderful flavor with no bitterness or strong yeast scent. I'm freezing them to take to my "new mom" daughter next week–if I can keep grandpa out of them, that is.
[…] simply took this recipe and put in a bag of my purée (see previous post on how to do that). One bag of 1 1/2C is about one […]
Do I have to use the flex seed meal???
YES, it is an important ingredient. If you can't find flax seed meal, buy whole flax seeds and use a coffee grinder to grind them into meal.
Can I substitute applesauce for butter?
Hmmm, I know applesauce works as a butter/oil substitute in muffins and quick breads but I've never tried it in cookies. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you….
can you use steel cut oats? I found a variety that is more of a quick steel cut oat at my grocery.
I have never tried the lactation cookie recipe using "quick cooking" steel cut oats, it's worth a try though! Here is a recipe I've made in the past but the amount of steel oats is minimal: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Dark-Chocolate-Oatmeal-Cookies-109497
Do I have to add brewer's yeast?
Yes, brewer's yeast is an important ingredient!
Hi just wondering how many you would suggest I consume a day in order to increase my supply.
I've made cookies with the steel oats I have. They came out very tough and grainy. Before I make these, do u need to prep the steel cut oatmeal first? It taste the same as if I was eating it uncooked out of the container. Will this recipe be different?
Although steel cut oats are great for breakfast, I would not suggest using the steel cut oat in this recipe.
How many should I eat a day? I don't want to sound dumb but I have to ask all ingredients are good for baby?
I made these and they turned out great! added cinnamon to it and so yummy. My question is how many are you supposed to eat in a day? Want to make sure i get the most out of them as my milk supply is lacking lately…
I saw several people asking about how many cookies to eat each day, but never found where someone had replied, so I thought I would say what has worked for me. Based on the size of my cookies, I have 1-2 each time I nurse/pump during the day. After only 6 days of cookies, I had an increase of 2 ounces pumped. I know I've got a good supply for my little piglet (10.5 lbs at 8 weeks!!), but I have to pump to supply milk for her at day care. Without the cookies, I was about 2 ounces shy of what we needed for a day away from mom. Love seeing all the variations to cover up the slightly bitter aftertaste!!!
I also don't quite cook my cookies completely. I let them stay kinda gooey in the middle, because some websites claim eating the raw dough to be even better for supply. But I can't do the raw dough, the yeasty flavor is still pretty strong in the dough. But the cookies are great and delicious!
I am not sure of how many you should eat in a day. I eat like 4-6 in a day. I always put a lot more brewers yeast in the recipe than I am suppose to. I will use 2x or 3x as much as the recipe calls for and I use coconut oil which tastes great and is healthier than butter.
Can/have you tried to replace the butter with coconut oil?
Did anyone make them without eggs?
My baby is allergic to eggs
Has any one had issue with your baby having more gas or spitting up a lot more after eating the lactation cookies? I feel like it's causing him to spit up and have a lot of gas , but I love the cookies … Could it be one thing in the cookies that's causing it ?
Ok so ive looked many places and couldn't find brewers yeast but have flaxseed meal its it ok to just use that or even double that
Is it alright to substitute the "rolled oats" with "whole oat groats" instead?
If so, does this require them to be soaked overnight or can they be mixed in the batch without soaking them?
The oat groats are less processed then the rolled oats.
Your quick response is greatly appreciated.
Can't wait to try this recipe out!

Can you freeze the baked cookies?
Found everything but the brewers yeast at krogers. Does anyone know where I can find it? Varies websites say I should be able to find it in big grocery stores.
i kind of just eat a bunch throughout the day, is that ok, or should it be when i nurse? also, for anyone looking for brewers yeast, i found it at "vitamin shoppe".
health food store
Just finished making these cookies! I used peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips and they are quite yummy. I'm not a chocolate fan and I got the idea because I always add peanut butter and raspberries to my oatmeal every morning. So happy with the outcome! Will follow up with if it helps me with producing!
you can get brewers yeast at any bulk barn. and they are lovely cookies. i eat tons as well as my family. i had two a day n it really helped my milk supply.
[…] (Found this recipe and other advice at http://www.milkinmamas.com/lactation-cookie-recipe/) […]
These cookies are so good! I used coconut oil instead of butter and the flavor is amazing! I don't pump, but my sons diapers do seem a bit fuller, so I think they must've boosted my supply a bit!
[…] in addition to oats — over the last year, so I decided to try a batch. I started with the basic recipe from Milkin' Mamas and made a few changes based on Jackson's dairy intolerance and my own […]
For people looking for the brewers yeast- I found it a my Wegmans, but it wasn't with the baking supplies, it was with like protein powder/nutrition supplement aisle.
One word……DELICIOUS! Now I'll wait to see if they work as well as they taste????? I'll keep you posted.
I'm at store now to get ingredients to try i go back to work Monday n want to make sure i keep my supply of milk up for my son
These cookies are absolutely delicious and after about an hour of eating them, i started to feel my milk "let down" already. My husband loves them as well. I have so many friends about to have babies and I will be recommending these cookies for sure. Thank you milkinmamas!
I LOVE LOVE *LOVE* these cookies! My daughter goes on random breast hiatuses and eat only her baby food for a day or two but it seems like even if I pump as if she were nursing my milk supply takes a HUGE dip! So I make me a batch of these and chow down on then for a couple days and my supply is up and at times in excess of what she eats. I honestly cannot express(no pun intended) how much I love these cookies! I have suggested this site and recipe to many of my to-be mom and new mom friends. I plan on making a couple batches of these(baked and raw) for my best friend when she has her baby in January!
can you use de-buttered brewers yeast, in stead of regular brewers yeast?
1- can i use debittered brewers yeast.
2- if i did not make the cookies but added the important ingredients to my oatmeal — a. how much brewers yeast a day?
b. how much flax meal?
thank you,
hi! i found brewer's yeast tablets, is this the same? can i just grind this up and add to the recipe? thanks! will appreciate a response
I just finished making the dough. Before I added the three cups of oats I noticed my dough was already pretty thick. Three cups of oats will make it far too dry to bake off. I used an energ egg replacer and oil in place of the butter. Any ideas?
Hi! I'm just wondering if the flaxseed meal is a necessity? That is the one thing I missed on the list and I really wanna try baking these tonight!
My cookies turned out to be little round balls, they never flattened out. Any idea what I did wrong? They also take kind of dry. I had to use baking powder. (2 tsp) because I did not have baking soda. Would that be the issue?
Is there a difference to the recioe if I use the thw whole flaxseed instead of it being ground?
How many cookies can you eat in a day to see a difference in milk supply and how long does it take to see the change. Thanks so much. Sarah
I just made a batch of these cookies at the request of a friend. I love to bake cookies and I have to admit that I was skeptical about what the flavor might be like, considering the ingredients. But they are really good! I added the new chocolate chips that are caramel filled.
The cookies turned out moist and chewy and I'd say they are going to be a big hit! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Two coworkers have been eating these cookies for the past week and both have reported results. One started on Wednesday and the other on Friday. I did the second batch with blueberries and almonds and used coconut sugar in place of regular brown sugar. They were a big hit with everyone who tried them.
Sarah – I can tell you that my coworker's lactation consultant gave her this schedule: 4 cookies a day for 2 days, then 2 cookies a day for 2 days, then 1 cookie a day for 3 days. Then start again with 4. When I make the cookies I use 1 Tablespoon of dough per cookie, so they aren't real big. But they are quite effective!
These are too good! Love them!
hi there, i am due in a few weeks and just whipped up a batch of these delicious cookies. (also ate quite a few before freezing the rest). however, i've since seen a few warnings in different places that flaxseed meal may be unsafe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. (!) thoughts?
I loved these cookies and they really did increase my supply. Only one problem…my baby's tummy was sensitive to something in them. She has been projectile spitting up and very gassy ever since I started eating them 2 days ago. Hopefully they get out my system fast!
Can you use steel cut oats?
Made these cookies yesterday and they turned out great. They remind me of regular oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (I rolled out the balls a little too big so mine ended up thicker than normal oatmeal chocolate chip cookies) and although I was a little concerned they would have a weird flavor from the flax seeds and brewers yeast I couldn't taste those ingredients in there at all. Will recommend these to any other nursing moms looking for some extra boosters to their milk production.
I followed your recipe tonight and they turned out Delish! Even my 3yo super picky eater ate three! That is a miracle! Thanks for the awesome recipe
I made these cookies last night as i am desperate to increase my supply. I ate four last night and am hoping i will see some results today. The cookies are delish. I made it exactly the way the recipe called for. I did use "I can't believe it's not butter," instead of regular butter though. I also opted to add the chocolate chips. So good! My husband loved them too Now here's to hoping they work!!!
Delicious!!!!! Soo good! I need to control myself not to eat the whole batch on one day! I added 1/2 cup of coconut and they tast amazing!!!!
How long does it take the milk supply to increase? And how often should I eat one.
These are delicious! I was nervous due to some comments, but I can't stop eating them. I did use coconut oil instead of butter, so I wouldn't feel so guilty about eating cookies everyday, so maybe that covered some of the flavor some people complained about. My husband even likes them, so I'll definitely make them again and give batches to my two pregnant friends once they have their babies.
Hey ladies!! The only issue I have with this recipie is the sugar! I don't eat or cook with white or brown sugar so finding it a bit tricky to make them
'Yummy' and disguise the yeast flavour. Added some organic maple and brown rice syrup which made them better but not fantastic- maybe need lots of coconut and coconut oil hmmm- any
Mums in the same boat and made them without the sugar?

TULSA — Don Jimerson called Chuck Bowman more than 40 years ago with a request.
Jimerson then was the University of Oklahoma freshman football coach. Bowman was Oklahoma's director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
TULSA — Don Jimerson called Chuck Bowman more than 40 years ago with a request.
Jimerson then was the University of Oklahoma freshman football coach. Bowman was Oklahoma's director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"Chuck, you need to come over here and meet this kid from Sallisaw," Jimerson told Bowman. "This could be the next Billy Graham."
Davis never became Billy Graham, though Davis did, as a college quarterback, speak at a Graham crusade. And he affected Oklahomans in ways that still resound.
From football fans who remember gridiron glory to aging baby boomers who remember how a mop-haired preacher/quarterback touched their soul decades ago, Davis' impact has resurged in the week since his March 17 death in a South Bend, Ind., plane crash.
"I knew he was popular," said Joe Davis, Steve's younger brother. "I didn't know he was that popular."
Which is how the First Baptist Church came to be filled with an estimated 1,700 people Monday.
"We didn't really realize the significance and the impact of what he's done for the state of Oklahoma," said another brother, Todd Davis. "What he's done in life in general."
A spiritual version of the OU Chant flowed from Rhonda Roush's fingers on the grand piano as Davis' family entered the sanctuary.
To paraphrase the Sooner alma mater, a thousand strong joined in heart and song, in praise of a man who was many things.
Part quarterback hero, part preacher, part broadcaster, part businessman, part pilot, part father, part sinner, part saint. And all extraordinary.
"He was really special," said Bowman, one of three who eulogized Davis and who related the Jimerson story. "Steve came into our lives two years after we started FCA. Steve Davis became our poster child. He was FCA before we were FCA."
Dozens of former Sooners attended as the stories flowed about the man who quarterbacked OU to a 32-1-1 record from 1973-75. But few of them were about football.
The stories were about Davis' smile and charisma and world-class hair. About his depth of spirit and quality of leadership. About overcoming dark times later in life to find the victory he had found as a younger man.
"We all have problems," said First Baptist pastor Deron Spoo, who delivered the memorial message. "Greatness is not defined by the heights we rise, but the depths from which we recover."
Rossi Robinson became friends with Davis in 1972, while both were OU students. Monday, Robinson — the uncle of former OSU quarterback Zac Robinson — also eulogized Davis.
"He had an inner joy, a contagious smile," Robinson said.
Robinson held up a Bible, given to him by Davis on Feb. 28, 1975, with the inscription: "Two things God promises will last forever: the souls of men and God's word. This is the only thing I could ever give you that will last. May God print it deeply in your heart."

Sadies life isnt the only thing at stake. Struggling with the guilt of having been responsible for the fire that killed her family, when she was only seven, Sadie doesnt feel shes worthy of Gods love and forgiveness. Will Quinn be able to prove otherwise before its too late?

It was late afternoon before they arrived at the address the Ingram's had given them. Quinn parked his truck across the street and glanced up at the three-story brick building. "Third floor, right?"
Instead of an answer, Quinn heard Sadie's door close and looked over just in time to see her crossing in front of the truck, as usual, taking the lead. He smiled, grabbed the keys from the ignition, and reached for the door handle.
The sound of squealing tires caught Quinn's attention. He looked out his windshield as a black sports car pulled away from the curb. Shifting his gaze to the street, he saw Sadie was directly in its path. He jumped from the truck and yelled, "Look out!" then saw Sadie dive onto the hood of a parked car.
Quinn's heart pounded in his chest as he raced across the street. When he came around the front of the car she'd dove onto, he found her sitting with a dazed look on her face. He knelt beside her, "Are you okay?"
She blinked her eyes. "I definitely need to visit the gym more often."
He chuckled, relieved she was all right and that her humor was still intact. "I don't know I haven't seen a move like that since Starsky and Hutch."
"Will I need to call my insurance agent?"
He rose on his toes to peer across the hood of the late model Buick and saw a fairly good size dent in the hood. "I'm afraid so."
He offered his hand in assistance and she stood on wobbly legs. "Whoa!" She grabbed hold of his arm.
He steadied her by slipping his arm around her waist. "Are you sure you're okay?" Beginning with her forehead his eyes worked their way downward.
"I'm fine."
He spotted a dark stain near the left pocket of her jeans. "No you're not. You're bleeding."
"It must be my elbow, it's beginning to sting."
He gently raised it. Sure enough, blood seeped out of a one inch cut just below the bone. He took both her forearms and guided her backwards to lean against the Buick. "Stay put, don't move." He ran across the street to his truck, removed his first aid kit from behind the seat. When he returned, Sadie was nowhere in sight.
"Another Fastastic Novel!!!! Anne Patrick's novel, "Fire and Ash" is a well-written novel that flows wonderfully...A fantastic read!"

This morning was misty, but not rainy and we headed off to Croagh Patrick, the hill where St. Patrick spent 40 days and 40 nights doing something holy. It is now tradition for people to take a pilgrimage up the hill barefoot, and some nice individual has paved the way with pointy rocks and slippery boulders (even though the rest of the hill is grassy and soft). We climbed part of the way up (well shod), but could not go much farther as you are not supposed to climb in the mist. We did see some people attempting the climb barefoot, and the best of luck to them! Nearby is one of the National Famine Memorials, commemorating the Great Famine of the 1840s. After this sobering reminder of the blight we drove through the picturesque Doolough Valley, where 300 people (out of 500) died in a snow storm after walking out to petition their landlord for famine relief. There is now a memorial there as well. After this morning, we all needed a drink and headed to a lovely pub in Connemara

Franklin commissioners plan to answer stray dog complaints
CARNESVILLE, Ga. - Franklin County's Board of Commissioners say they will have an answer next week for citizens asking for a county-wide leash law.At a recent work session, Nancy Chadwick, who has complained to the board about the need for a leash law, presented a written proposal in which she suggested how a leash ordinance might be worded.
"I suggest that it be unlawful for any dog owner or any keeper of a dog to allow the dog to run at large off of the owner's property," Chadwick said. "There should be consequences, such as the dogs could be impounded, adopted out, or disposed of."
Chadwick suggested dogs in the county be registered and have a rabies vaccination. She also asked that the county require breeders to obtain a permit and limit the number of litters their dogs have in one year.
Chadwick said dogs running loose present a danger to the public and she said and her neighbors have had numerous experiences with vicious dogs loose in their subdivision.
"I've had some near misses by little bitty dogs," she said. "My good friend who lives up the road, she can't even walk her dogs on a leash because there are loose dogs that attack her and her dogs. I have another neighbor who has had to bury about five or six dogs. They were not his dogs, they belonged to irresponsible dog owners."
However, many in Franklin County who own farms or acreage are against a leash law. They claim their dogs stay on their own land. Chadwick said it would be up to the commission to determine the extent of a leash law.
Royston property owner Fred Tolley is for a leash law, even though he owns acreage he uses for hunting. Tolley has been complaining to the board for months about his neighbor's dogs running loose on his property.
"We've been talking about this since November," Tolley said. "I've been talking to the Sheriff for about two years. I've had the Sheriff out to my property six times. It's a waste of taxpayer money to have the Sheriff or one of his deputies come out to my property."
Tolley said he ran into the Sheriff again recently and was told if the county instituted a leash law, the Sheriff would enforce it.
Commissioners did not respond to Chadwick or Tolley's suggestions, but commission chair Tom Bridges promised the board would have an answer for them on Monday during their regular meeting.

AMDs Lasso Sneak Peek
"Check out AMD's external graphics soution codenamed: Lasso"
Published: 7th June 2007 | Source: VR-Zone |
AMD Lasso; External 2900XT Crossfire
Computex 2007 has been rather a low-key affair for graphics card manufacturers considering that the Nvidia's 8800 Ultra and ATI's HD2900XT were released prior to the IT trade fair beginning. But thankfully ATI have come to the party by providing a sneakpeek at their external graphics solution, codenamed: Lasso.
|Lasso is a codename for AMD external graphics technology and the latest revision is able to support Crossfire on the Radeon HD 2000 series. In the current revision, there are 2 PCIe x16 slots on the Lasso board with a chipset onboard that offers 48 PCIe lanes so theoretical you can have 3 PCIe x16 slots running at full 16x bandwidth for Crossfire + Physics setup or 4 PCIe x16 slots running at 8x bandwidth in Quad Crossfire setup. For the current setup, there is a pair 2900XT 1GB GDDR4 cards linked up by 2 long Crossfire bridges inside a case with 500W PSU made specially for Lasso. However, there is no guidance from AMD yet to which when Lasso will be announced.

With Evangelical Christian runner Sarah Candiano a heavy favorite to win overall, the Community School girls focused on putting forth a strong team effort at the 1A-District 11 cross country championships at First Baptist Academy on Thursday.
Candiano led from wire-to-wire, but four of the top six finishers were Seahawks, propelling Community School to a landslide win over runner-up St. John Neumann.
"We've been training hard all season so it is nice to see everything coming together," Seahawks head coach Cassie Barone said.
Freshman Lindsay Tomaini finished firmly in second place with a time of 19:57.01 to lead the Seahawks.
"I just wanted to get the higher spots because we wanted to get first in the district as a team. I ran hard and so did my teammates," Tomaini said. "I was just aiming for second because Sarah Candiano is amazing."
The Barry sisters, junior Annie and freshman Sophie, finished fourth and fifth with times of 21:11.20 and 21:22.85, respectively. Junior Tristan Burfield finished sixth and sophomore Emily Cosgrove finished 12th to help the Seahawks finish the day with a remarkable 29 points.
"It feels really good," the elder Barry said. "This team has worked really hard this year and all of us have shown that we are a force to be reckoned with."
On the boys' side, junior Andrew LeMay blew the field away to become the top finisher with a time of 18:11.10 to lead Seacrest Country Day to a first-place finish as a team.
"It's huge," LeMay said of the first district title in school history. "We are going to get a banner in the gym knowing that no one else has ever done this before. It's pretty big because our school only has like four district titles (in all sports) so to get another is pretty cool."
The winners advanced to the regionals, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 10 at Trinity High School in Melbourne.

This one was significantly easier. Same prep process as the first treatment with a 4 day burst of 50 mg of prednisone. THe procedure was the same except the doctor did not do a saline wash of the lungs. We completed the left lower lob with 59 energy activations. I expected issues as I had a tough time on number one. This time, no issues with pulse Ox going up and down post procedure. Ran a slight fever for 12 hours. Hardly any asthma after 24 hours. Now has been 72 hours and I have no asthma at all and actually feel the lungs are taking in more air. Will try to move up my third and final procedure by a week! Things are good.View Thread
The 24 hours after my first treatment were tough. Fever of 100.5 treated. Moderate asthma required four albuterol sulfate treatments. Phlegm but no blood most of the day. Next 24 hours was mild asthma. Some chest pain - likely sore muscles from all the wheezing. Fever down to 99.5. Resting and hydrating. Talking even gets the asthma going.View Thread
Life long asthmatic. Treated with Advair 500/50, QVAR, ProAir, Prednisone, Singular and Xolair. Two years of appeals with Health Care Provider - Approved via Medical Board arbitration. This procedure was done at the University of Arizona Medical Center.
Procedure one completed yesterday.
Normal pre-op, breathing treatment, PFT, IV, 100 MG IV prednisone. Deep sedation - no pain. Review of all airways in both lungs, saline wash of right lower lob, 70 Rf, microwave firings, with bronchial thermoplasty procedure, about 75 minutes.
Recovery room - no pain post procedure, some rapid movement of pulse Ox - ranged from 96 down to 84. Breathing treatment with O2 helped that. BP lower than before procedure. Good PFT, down about 5%. Total time 4 hours.
Home - Lots of phlegm, small amount of blood, raspy breathing first 6 hours. Evening, fatigue, mild asthma attack addressed with breathing treatment. First night, hard to sleep, medium level asthma attack - again treated with albuteral sulfate, very raspy right side breathing. Morning - another treatment with albuteral, light pain on right chest - sore like I was kicked in the chest. Asthma exacerbated with any movement. Hyper from meds (likely the prednisone). MId day - continued asthma attack, treatable, limiting movement, best in sitting position.
Next procedure is Dec 5, left lower lob followed by the upper lobs in late December.
Hope this helps!View Thread

The Womenby T. Coraghessan Boyle
Staff Pick
A fictional account of the facts of Frank Lloyd Wright's life, The Women shines. Told mainly through the eyes of his three wives and one mistress, Wright becomes larger than life in his passion for his art, his lust for life, and his need for the women who surround him. Marked by amazing success and tragedy beyond bearing, Wright's story is fascinating, and even though you would rather not, you end up liking him. T. C. Boyle is an incomparable writer, and it is a true treat to read this remarkable novel. I loved it!
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Women, a historical novel about three women's lives on a California island
On a tiny, desolate, windswept island off the coast of Southern California, two families, one in the 1880s and one in the 1930s, come to start new lives and pursue dreams of self-reliance and freedom. Their extraordinary stories, full of struggle and hope, are the subject of T. C. Boyle's haunting new novel.
Thirty-eight-year-old Marantha Waters arrives on San Miguel on New Year's Day 1888 to restore her failing health. Joined by her husband, a stubborn, driven Civil War veteran who will take over the operation of the sheep ranch on the island, Marantha strives to persevere in the face of the hardships, some anticipated and some not, of living in such brutal isolation. Two years later their adopted teenage daughter, Edith, an aspiring actress, will exploit every opportunity to escape the captivity her father has imposed on her. Time closes in on them all and as the new century approaches, the ranch stands untenanted. And then in March 1930, Elise Lester, a librarian from New York City, settles on San Miguel with her husband, Herbie, a World War I veteran full of manic energy. As the years go on they find a measure of fulfillment and serenity; Elise gives birth to two daughters, and the family even achieves a celebrity of sorts. But will the peace and beauty of the island see them through the impending war as it had seen them through the Depression?Rendered in Boyle's accomplished, assured voice, with great period detail and utterly memorable characters, this is a moving and dramatic work from one of America's most talented and inventive storytellers.
Having brought to life eccentric cereal king John Harvey Kellogg in "The Road to Wellville" and sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in "The Inner Circle," Boyle now turns his fictional sights on an even more colorful and outlandish character: Frank Lloyd Wright.
"Dazzling and gorgeously written, Frances and Bernard features a pair of brilliant, complicated writers who present themselves to each other in letters that form the most exciting epistolary novel in recent memory. A slim book, it still seems to say all of the important things about friendship, faith, love, the literary life, and especially the costs of living as an artist while still inhabiting the real world. Its a marvel." —Ann Packer, author of The Dive from Clausens Pier and Songs Without Words
Frances and Bernard meet in the summer of 1957. Afterward, he writes her a letter. Soon they are immersed in the kind of fast, deep friendship that can change the course of our lives. They find their way to New York and, for a few whirling years, each other. The city is a wonderland for young people with dreams: cramped West Village kitchens, parties stocked with the sharp-witted and glamorous, taxis that can take you anywhere at all, long talks along the Hudson as the lights of the Empire State Building blink on above. Inspired by the lives of Flannery OConnor and Robert Lowell, Frances and Bernard imagines, through new characters with charms entirely their own, what else might have happened. In the grandness of the fall, can we love another person so completely that we lose our dreams? In witness to all the wonder of kindred spirits and bittersweet romance, Frances and Bernard is a tribute to the power of friendship and the people who help us discover who we are.
The Paris Wife was only the beginning of the story . . .
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice
Paula McLains New York Timesbestselling novel piqued readers interest about Ernest Hemingways romantic life. But Hadley was only one of four women married, in turn, to the legendary writer. Just as T.C. Boyles bestseller The Women completed the picture begun by Nancy Horans Loving Frank, Naomi Woods Mrs. Hemingway tells the story of how it was to love, and be loved by, the most famous and dashing writer of his generation. Hadley, Pauline, Martha and Mary: each Mrs. Hemingway thought their love would last forever; each one was wrong.
Told in four parts and based on real love letters and telegrams, Mrs. Hemingway reveals the explosive love triangles that wrecked each of Hemingway's marriages. Spanning 1920s bohemian Paris through 1960s Cold War America, populated with members of the fabled "Lost Generation," Mrs. Heminway is a riveting tale of passion, love, and heartbreak.
About the Author

After-School Tutoring Overview
826LA was founded on the belief that individualized attention to students leads to great leaps in academic improvement. Our after-school tutoring program was born from that belief. During the school year, we offer free tutoring in the afternoon, Monday through Thursday, for students ages 6–11; and in the evening, Tuesday and Thursday, for students ages 11–18. Students gather into our writing labs at both 826LA in Mar Vista and 826LA in Echo Park to work on homework, reading, and writing with our trained volunteers.
Like all of 826LA's student programming, after-school tutoring is free. If you are interested in a space in the program for your student, give us a call at the office!
Every day of tutoring, our volunteers wait patiently until eager students charge our writing labs, with heads full of questions about language arts, math, and even sometimes those confounded piano chord progressions. While 826LA's overall focus is on student writing, we happily help all students work toward completing all of their homework. Our caring volunteers give students the one-on-one help they need, and their attention turns even the most tedious of assignments into an enjoyable afternoon of learning.
After students complete their daily homework, their time 826LA shifts toward reading and writing. They select a book from our in-house library (or bring their own reading), then settle down to read silently or aloud with a tutor. And once that's done, they work on their budding creative skills by tacking a daily writing prompt or revising an already-drafted piece. These works are refined, then collected and published in chapbooks from our in-house publishers, Dogtown Books (at 826LA in Mar Vista) and Echo Press (at 826LA in Echo Park). The process of writing and publishing with caring volunteer tutors turns our after-school sessions into an imagination factory, making our program a challenging and rewarding atmosphere for future scholars and aspiring authors.
The after-school tutoring program could not succeed without our volunteers. They are trained in 826LA's methods, and they understand how important individualized attention is for our students. Many of our volunteers help out week after week after week, developing tutor-student relationships that enable us to strengthen students' academic abilities, writing skills, and love of learning.

European gaming site MCV is reporting, "Microsoft has been telling partners that the Next Xbox will NOT include a disc drive."
Anonymous sources allegedly tell the site as much, and also cite the "strictest non-disclosure agreement" they've ever seen.
The report goes on, alluding to "compatibility with some sort of interchangeable solid-state card storage", though contextual details are scarce.
MCV also throws a "confirmed" on a 2013 launch for Microsoft's new console and reiterates the chances for a showcase at this year's E3.
If the 'No Disc Drive' reports are true, the implications for outlets like Gamestop and other game retailers would be quite negative. At the very least, a paradigm shift would seem to be in the cards for the retail game business.
I suppose it's worth noting the report from Digital Foundry from this past November, which speculates on a pair of next-gen machines being offered by Microsoft, one that acts more as an an entertainment hub and could lack a disc drive and another aimed at core gamers that comes with all the bells and whistles we've become accustomed to in a console, including a disc drive.
It's also believed that Microsoft will continue its successful two SKU strategy, and indeed take it much further with its new platform: a pared down machine is to be released as cheaply as possible, and positioned more along the lines of a set-top box (the use of 360 as a Netflix viewing platform in the US is colossal) and perhaps as a Kinect-themed gaming portal, while a more fully-featured machine with optical drive, hard disk and backward compatibility aimed at the hardcore would be released at a higher price-point.

Treasure Coast Fishing Report: Jan. 27
Nedra Maxwell of the Sebastian Inlet District reported a variety of wintertime catches by jetty anglers. Arthur Anderson of Orlando, using shrimp trying to catch pompano, instead caught a cobia, a rare but welcome jetty catch. Weakfish, flounder and sheepshead rounded out the best action there. Snook season opens Friday.
Jayson Arman of That's R Man land-based fishing charters, out of Billy Bones Bait and Tackle in Port St. Lucie, said the trout bite in the Indian River Lagoon north of Walton Road is really starting to pick up. The Bass Assassin Die Dapper in gold or gray ghost on dark colored jig head is working well.
During his weekly radio show Saturday, Pete Schulz of the Fishing Headquarters in Jupiter reported fair action for surf fishermen working the beaches of Hobe Sound from Blowing Rocks up to just north of Hobe Sound Public Beach. Whiting, croaker, a few pompano and bluefish have been the main catches. Sailfish are in 100 feet.
Capt. Mike Shellen of Okeechobeebassfishing.com reported good bass fishing, using the technique of flipping and pitching. Shellen said ugly otters and sweet beavers are getting plenty of looks from big bass getting ready for another spawning period. As for speckled perch fishing, it's been pretty good drift fishing with jigs.

Health On The Edge: Medicine in the 21st Century
A lot has changed in the world of alternative medicine since the early 1990s, when I first edited Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide.
At that time, alternative medicine was largely considered a "fringe" movement by the mainstream medical establishment, even though, as Harvard's Dr. David Eisenberg documented in a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993, 34 percent of all Americans at that time were choosing some form of alternative medicine over conventional medical care.
Since then, that number has grown, as evidenced by a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) in 2002 that found that 74.6 percent of all adults in the United States had used some form of alternative medicine.
Recognizing this trend, an increasing number of US medical and nursing schools also offer, and in many cases require, some kind of alternative medicine coursework. As early as 1998, the American Medical Association (AMA) reported that some aspect of alternative medicine was being taught in 64 percent of US medical schools. By 2005, according to the American Association of Medical Colleges, that figure rose to 75 percent. Similarly, by 2003 nearly 85 percent of US nursing schools also offered courses in alternative medicine.
In the face of growing demand for viable alternative therapies on the part of consumers, the AMA has also instructed its member physicians to become more familiar with alternative medical practices. By the start of the 21st century, 72 percent of US pharmacy colleges were also offering courses in herbal medicine and other aspects of alternative medicine. In addition, the American Hospital Association reports that the percentage of hospitals offering one or more alternative medicine services increased from 8 percent in 1998 to 27 percent in 2005.
While these developments may have seemed unthinkable two decades ago, in actuality they are not surprising. That's because a revolution in health care is inexorably taking place in the United States, as well as elsewhere around the world. And what distinguishes it from most other momentous changes that are also sweeping through society today is the fact that it is not being sparked by leaders in the healthcare field, nor by our elected officials, but by burgeoning numbers of laypeople just like you and me who are seeking more effective solutions to their health and wellness needs.
The reason for that search is simple: Despite more than a century of remarkable diagnostic and therapeutic advances in the field of conventional medicine, chronic illness continues to spread at an alarming rate and is proving increasingly impervious to the mainstays of conventional medicine—drugs and surgery. Additionally, more and more patients are looking for health care approaches that address their specific and unique needs, rather than merely treating their symptoms.
This grassroots groundswell demand for more effective and cost-efficient health care is also, of course, closely tied to our nation's mounting health-care crisis. Back in 1992, our nation spent just over $1.2 trillion each year on health-care costs. At that time, research found that 85 percent of that cost was spent on care for patients suffering from some type of chronic illness. Not surprisingly, 85 percent of all diseases in the US at that time were also chronic in nature. Today, US health-care costs have more than doubled, verging close to $3 trillion annually, and chronic disease rates have not declined. Despite such exorbitant costs, which account for nearly 17 percent of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the United States ranks a dismal 42nd among all nations in terms of life expectancy. Clearly, this is not a problem that can be fixed by providing health-insurance coverage to everyone, as Obamacare, whether you agree with it or not, is intended to do.
To truly address our nation's health-care crisis requires focused and intelligent action on a number of fronts, including improving our nation's dietary habits, which rank among the worst in the world; cleaning up the health-ravaging toxins that are still rampant within our environment, and which are known to cause certain types of cancer and other serious illness; and more effectively screening patients before disease sets in so that it can be prevented or more easily reversed.
In line with these measures, our concept of medicine and how it works also needs serious rethinking. In recent years, such thinking has begun to emerge, as evidenced by the renaming of alternative medicine by some to complementary and, more recently, integrative medicine. Such terms imply what is increasingly becoming evident to many in both the alternative and conventional medical fields, namely that alternative medicine needs to play an increasing role within the world of mainstream medicine.
But integrating alternative medicine into the current conventional medical paradigm does not go far enough. While increasing numbers of conventional MDs, nurses, and other health practitioners who complement their therapies with certain alternatives certainly is a welcome change, it falls far short of recognizing how appropriate alternative medicine is. Not as a complementary adjunct to traditional medical care, but as a primary treatment option that should be employed first—leaving drugs and surgery aside except in the times when they are most needed (usually acute emergencies).
A real system of integrative medicine, like an effective and efficiently operating sports team, plays to the strengths of its many treatment options, and minimizes its weaknesses. Knowing what those strengths and weaknesses are, therefore, is of paramount importance. Fortunately, when it comes to medicine, determining what they are is relatively easy, as the comparison below shows:
Alternative Medicine
Conventional Medicine
Primary Focus
Prevention; whole-person care that seeks to address multifactorial, underlying causes
Primarily symptom care
Treatment Methods
Wide range of therapies, including diet and nutrition, lifestyle reeducation, stress management, mind-body medicine, etc; with an emphasis on patient self-empowerment
Primarily drugs and/or surgery
Empowers patients to take control of their own health; excellent for preventing and treating chronic disease; cost effective; safe
Highly effective in treating both acute and life-threatening illnesses and injuries; continues to advance diagnostic technologies
Best Suited For
Patient education, prevention, chronic disease
Acute and life-threatening disease and injuries
Shortage of alternative medicine providers nationwide; treatment options often not covered by insurance; can be labor-intensive for both patient and provider depending on degree of underlying causes related to illness; proper training and certifying processes are sometimes lacking, depending on therapy type
Largely ineffective for preventing and reversing chronic disease; can be highly expensive; drugs employed can often cause serious, and even fatal, side effects
Based on this comparison, it is obvious that how and why both conventional and alternative medicine are used needs to be reconsidered. If 85 percent of our nation's diseases are chronic and non-life threatening in nature, shouldn't alternative therapies that are proven to be beneficial for such conditions (allergies, back and chronic pain, headaches, GI disorders, respiratory conditions, etc.) be the first choice of treatment, instead of ongoing symptom care with an over-reliance on drugs? Especially when such treatments typically cost less (even when paid for out-of-pocket), are free of side effects, and, most importantly, are far more likely to discover and eliminate the root causes of such conditions?
Just as we need to continue to support the advances occurring within the field of conventional medicine, so must we allocate increasing support to the innovations and solutions found in the alternative medicine field. (The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spends over $31 billion each year on medical research. Of that amount, only $132 million is budgeted for the NIH's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.)
In addition, moving in line with President Obama's and the First Lady's recent emphasis on healthy eating and prevention of disease, shouldn't we be looking to actual experts in these areas from within the alternative medical field in which prevention, diet, and healthy lifestyle are basic and vital tenets, instead of spokespersons and policymakers with little or no expertise in these areas, who all-too-often also have ties to corporate interests that profit from the very lack of such tenets in the lives of most Americans?
And if, as studies show, alternative medical approaches are by and large far less costly than those of conventional medical practices, shouldn't alternative medicine be more widely covered by health insurance companies and be fully considered by those who are charged with solving today's health care crisis, as well as making alternative medicine more available within our nation's hospitals and health clinics?
My answer to each of these questions is a resounding yes. However, we cannot wait for our elected leaders to make such moves for us. Too much is at stake for that. Instead, all of us who are vitally concerned with keeping ourselves and our loved ones healthy must continue to do all we can to educate ourselves about what it truly means to be healthy, not simply symptom-free. And we also need to vote with our wallets and pocketbooks. After all, it was our choices over the last two decades that caused the medical establishment to become more receptive to learning more about the worthwhile options alternative medicine can provide. In the end, it was consumer demand, not legislation, that brought this change about. But many doors still remain to be opened. I'm convinced that they will be—and sooner rather than later. For out of crisis comes opportunity; and alternative medicine's opportunity is now.
Health & Blessings!
