Irish Breakfast Tea
Our Customers Thought
Thanks, I needed that. The Irish tea really hit the spot after a day of dragging sacks of compost to the garden and planting my summer veg. Drank a nice hot cuppa with a slice of buttered sourdough pumpernickel bread made with the pumpernickel meal I bought from you last year. And for a bissel zeeses, a nonpareil, something I haven't eaten in years, which also arrived today in perfect condition even though it's warm out. Oh yeah, thanks for the cashews too!Pat, MD

LOVE IT! I didn't know where to get hibiscus flowers... they're not common in Colorado, but I got hooked on them when visiting Mexico last September. Nuts.com came up on my google search, and I couldn't be happier. I got my bag of hibiscus yesterday and immediately made myself a glass. They were sooo tasty and fresh! I will definitely order through you guys again! Ps- Can't wait to try the Irish breakfast tea that I got as well. It's my FAVORITE!kristin, Parker, CO

I loved the Irish Breakfast and Earl Grey teas I recently received from you. Loose teas are almost impossible to find anymore, and good Irish Breakfast Tea is especially hard to find. I was sure the Irish were hording it all, but somehow you have gotten hold of their source! Delicious!Jennifer C Andersen, San Leandro, CA

I've been so upset at Santa Claws because he didn't leave a whale under my Christmas tree (even though I TOLD HIM he could just plop it into the bathtub instead of trying to cram it down the chimney)…
He gave me toys, treats, and stuff, but not the big, juicy whale I wanted most of all.
But tonight my blogging furiend (patriciahysell) FOUND IT FUR ME!! ISN'T HE BEAUTIFUL?? (*licks chops*)
(* chatters *) My whale!
… I guess she found him flopping around in the ocean… Maybe he was trying to find his way to me… Santa could've at least given the poor thing directions!
Anyway, she FOUND MY
… BEAUTIFUL WHALE!! I can't wait to
eat him…. I mean, MEET him!!
My goodness, he's the biggest
dish , I mean, FISH I've ever seen!
Well, gotta go! I have a dinner guest to prepare (uh, I mean PREPARE FUR)!

|Staging of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and oropharynx: a comparison of MRI and CT in T- and N-staging.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10050806 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: Our purpose was to assess the accuracy of CT and MRI in staging of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity and oropharynx. METHOD: Fifty-one episodes of primary and recurrent SCC were assessed with CT and MRI. The results were compared with pathological staging. RESULTS: For staging primary tumours, the accuracy of MR was 77% and that of CT was 67%. For detecting recurrent tumour, the accuracy of MR was 89% and that of CT was 100%. For N-staging, nodal sites were divided, according to the site of the primary tumour, into high and low risk. Sensitivity for high risk sites was 60% for clinical assessment, 35% for CT, and 75% for MR. Negative predictive value (NPV) was < or = 50% for all methods. For low risk sites, the NPV was > or = 95% for all methods. CONCLUSION: For T-staging, MR scanning is overall more accurate than CT. If degraded images and T1 tumours are excluded, the techniques are comparable. MR scanning is oversensitive for recurrent disease. For N-staging, all methods failed to detect small metastatic deposits.

About Our Community: The Adventure Rabbi Program (AR) is a new type of Jewish congregation, striving to make Judaism relevant, meaningful, and accessible for the 21st century. Our community centers around our retreat program. People of all ages, singles, couples, and families, come from all over the country (but especially Colorado) for our Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Passover retreats to learn, celebrate and create a new kind of Jewish community.
In between retreats, Rabbi Jamie Korngold leads AR events in Boulder Colorado and Rabbi Evon Yakar leads AR events in South Lake Tahoe, California. We are thrilled to have expanded so that we now have two bases for our alternative approach to Judaism, one in Boulder Colorado and the other in South Lake Tahoe California. We gather for Shabbat, holidays, hikes, skiing, and learning.
Rabbi Jamie Korngold is a best-selling author (more than 300,000 books sold) and travels to Jewish communities around the country teaching at congregations, colleges, camps, and JCCs. She trains clergy and counselors in her innovative approach to Judaism combining nature and the ancient wisdom of Jewish tradition.
We are especially proud of our innovative Bar and Bat Mitzvah programs. Our students hail from all over the world and study with us by Skype. Our Colorado based students are able to participate in a monthly Adventure Class where they climb peaks and snowshoe alongside their Hebrew studies. From Destination Bar & Bat Mitzvah ceremonies to Bar/Bat Yisrael ceremonies, which have no Hebrew, we have something for almost every Bar / Bat Mitzvah candidate.
In general, we are a "pay as you go" community, but we do rely heavily on membership (inexpensive!) donations and grants in order to sustain our community. Read more at the Adventure Rabbi blog.

I am so torn between liking this product and hiding it away in the back of my collection. After seeing all the hype of this product on blogs,YouTube, and just everywhere I wanted to LOVE these lip butters, but after getting two shades of my own, I'm not so sure.
I got Crem� Br�l�e and Strawberry Shortcake since I heard great things about Cr�me so I decided I wanted to love it too, and Shortcake seemed like a cute pink color!
Cr�me Br�l�e: on my lips it comes off like a brown orangish color that is visible but at the same time almost looks like I'm not wearing much of anything.
StrawberryShortcake: a kind of bright pink, probably my favorite of the two if I HAD to pick.
Not sure I like these, but willing to give other colors a try!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I bought this product in several shades (Peach Parfait, Berry Smoothie, and Cotton Candy) and love them! I have dark lips so the pigmentation isn't very noticeable, but it does add a hint of color to my lips. I like that it keeps my lips moisturized and it's not too sticky. Most times, I can't wear lip glosses because my hair keeps getting stuck in them but I did not have a problem with these. Also, I don't notice or taste the gloss when I drink or eat.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I bought sweet tart and creamsicle and I love both of them. creamsicle has to be applied more often then sweet tart ,which last forever on my lips, but I dont mind because I dont wear lipstick very often. They are both very nice in texture and I am really happy with them. I want to try more of the colors.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
i liked the idea of them, but they made my lips so dry which im pretty sure is the opposite, the colors weren't to pigmented you couldn't even seem them on my lips.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Other, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
One of the best lip makeup I have ever come across. Now it's my HG lipstick, along with Buxom lipgloss. I never use lipstick before this product, I just dislike the dryness in general, and I never look good with strong pigmentation on my lips, so I just skip using lipstick for years. After watching so many videos raving about this, I decide to give it a try.I am so glad I did! Not only because it's so moisturing but a large light color range (lighter pinks, peaches, nudes) which always suit me better. It also feels good, no scent, no chemical smell or anything, just lovely colors and never dry my lips out.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Warm
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
Packaging: The packaging is cheap plastic with diamond shaped detailing along the lid. The plastic is somewhat see-through. There is a window on the top of the lip butter that lets you see what is inside, but that is also plastic and looks more cheap than the rest. Has a twist-up tube like a lipstick. Also has a sticker on the bottom to tell you the name of the lip butter, and to give you a preview of the color (though it's not completely true to the actual color).
Lastability: These last about 5 minutes for me. Most lip products come off when I eat or drink, and some stay on when I don't. This one, without licking my lips, rubbing them, or eating/drinking anything...lasted about 5 minutes. And they always only last about 5 minutes before they start to feel like there's nothing there (and there is, but it has faded). They completely come off within about 30 minutes. I am not over-exaggerating.
Texture: They are creamy and go on feel like a mix between a lipstick and a lip gloss. Almost like putting butter on your lips. (how appropriate).
Color-payoff: The color is intense on most shades. They are not sheer by any means, so you have to apply it as if you were applying a lipstick, not a sheer balm.
Etc: When I got my first lip butter, it had melted in my pocket. It didn't melt like all over my clothes, but the product did move and squish all over the tube. Haven't had that problem with the others.
Color Selection: The selection is great. They have a lot of colors to choose from...but...
Advice: Be careful in choosing your colors. There are some that look like they might work for you but then when you put them on, they don't look right. This happened to me with my first one. It made me look strange. This is a shortcoming of not having testers, but some stores do have them.
And..Using these has made my lips somewhat dry. There are ingredients in lip products that make you become addicted to wearing them. By that I mean, you always feel like your lips are dry so you add more product. Well I think this is one. Just be aware of that too.
Overall: I think these only deserve 3 lippies. They dry out the lips, but have good color, but don't last long. Hope this helps :)

Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool

It really rocks big time. It feels like a Satiny-cocoa buttery feel. It has maximum stregnth and staying power. I like that is is kinda new. It got it at Walgreens in Candy Apple, and I got curious when something new comes out. I must try colorburst and Colorstay I was thinking. So I baught everything. This color is subdued and subtle,a nd I like the texture, feel, smell, power, and more etc...........The Loreal and ColorStay ones are better, but this isn't far behind. Beyond this lipstick, it has a glossy finish and is high shine
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium

My new go to lip product. I ordered candy apple and peach parfait from the ulta website and i LOVE them. They are much more pigmented than i had expected and they're super moisturizing. Candy apple is my favorite because it's a very wearable red. Peach parfait has some shimmer to it and it looks great with my fair skin. I'm looking forward to getting more shades. They are a staple in my every day routine.

What can I say for this lovely lipstick? The #15 Tutti Frutti is the bset lipstick that I hv ever had! I lk collecting lipsticks of different kinds of brands. Most of my lipsticks are Department cosmetic brands ex. Chanel, Dior, YSL... I bought this cuz I found so many beauty gurus using it on YouTube tutorial videos. The color is kind of orange with a little bite pinky. Perfectly matching my skin tone. It can be smoothly brushed on your lips and keep stays for nearly 3hrs ( even after I drinking water).I really recommend u try this production! It can change u impression of the drugstore brands quailities. Lov it !

"Five Songs That Will Put You in the Mood for Love" According to Maz Jobrani
Being a youngster in Iran gave comedian Maz Jobrani plenty of material to sharpen his craft for clowning and it definitely shows in his set. Not only does he showcase some stellar dance moves while gracing the stage, his act also talks up finding the humor in racial stereotypes, his family life then and now, the differences in way the world views politics, and owning his baldness. (Lucky for him, he pulls off the Mr. Clean flawlessly.) With everyone's favorite candy and flower-filled holiday falling during Maz's weekend at the Brea Improv (February 14th through 16th), Jobrani put together a list of"Five Songs That Will Put You in the Mood for Love."
This is a great song because it encourages people to go have sex in public.
5- Hall and Oates, "Private Eyes"
Maz Jobrani: Because even stalkers celebrate Valentine's Day. If there's a girl you've been secretly watching and you want to finally come out and let her know, this is the song for you. It's also got a catchy moment where you do a single clap followed by a double clap so you don't even have to worry about learning the words. Any stalker with rhythm can follow and enjoy this weird love song/stalker song/creepy song.
4- Journey, "Faithfully"
I'm on the road a lot as a comedian so this one plays close to my heart. That said, you don't have to be on the road to appreciate it. Just go for a drive to pick up some milk for your loved one and play this song while you're gone. You will long for her, miss her, and want her. You will rush to the refrigerator at 7/11 and grab the milk. You will get back in the car and play it again, thinking of how hard you are going to hug her when you're back home. After all, you've been gone for at least 10 minutes. You will open the door, drop the milk and embrace her. She will push you off, weirded out at your over-emotionality. Then she will open the bag and tell you that you've gotten the wrong milk. Back on the road buddy!

New Zealand Embassy Warsaw, Poland
Update on floods in Poland
Flooding which hit southern Poland last week has spread northwards. Cities north and west of Warsaw lying near main rivers may experience flooding in the next days. Even though flood levels on the River Wisla are reportedly descending in Warsaw, residents are urged to remain vigilant as levels remain very high and enbankments are soaked. Reports advised "The most dangerous situation in Warsaw was in the Praga Port and Wawer districts [on the east bank]". Some major roads on the east bank are closed causing serious traffic difficulties in Warsaw.
Please note: Flooding poses a serious health risk. The Polish Sanitary Inspectorate warns about the potential epidemic threat in the flooded areas although occurrences of illness are still not frequent. Citizens and visitors are advised to keep away from flood water, always boil drinking water, cook food, wash down all flooded areas with detergent, call sanitary inspectors to dispose of any dead animals and in case of diarrhea, vomiting, strong abdominal pains or fever report to a doctor as soon as possible. Some areas have introduced a post exposure tetanus vaccination programme.
Flooding also has a negative impact on transport. There have been numerous cases of train delays and road closures throughout the country.
Updated media reports in English are available on the Polish Radio website. New Zealanders in flooded areas are advised to follow the advice of authorities and check local media. The Polish language website of the Sanitary Inspectorate posts daily reports on the epidemiological situation in Poland while the Ministry of Interior and Administration website has information on the current flooding situation.
In addition; information on the situation in Warsaw is provided by the Warsaw Crisis Management Centre helplines: 0800 707 112 or 22 196 56. Information on the traffic situation, detours and closures is provided through the Warsaw Police Department telephone line: 22 603 80 02

1933-05-01 Kid Chocolate w pts 10 Johnny Farr, The Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - PENNSYLVANIA
1933-05-01 Kid Chocolate w pts 10 Johnny Farr, The Arena, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - PENNSYLVANIA. Referee: Joe McGuigan. Using all of his astonishing speed and skill, although missing far too often, Chocolate (124) looked good for an early win over the chunky challenger, but could not keep the momentum going and ultimately had to settle for a points win. Farr (130), who was felled by a left to the jaw for 'nine' in the fourth, recovered well to get himself right back in the fight and looked as strong as an ox coming into the final round, despite having taken too many risks as he continually drove forward with both hands pumping out. However, desperate to put Chocolate over Farr left himself exposed and was dropped three times before going down on all three judges' scorecards.
On 19 May 1933 at Madison Square Garden, NYC, New York, Chocolate outpointed Seaman Tommy Watson over 15 rounds in a featherweight title defence and, as in his contests against Lew Feldman and Fidel LaBarba, both men would have been inside 126lbs.

Developing A Radio Strategy For Social Media
If you have conversations with radio people across the U.S. about social media strategy, nearly everyone will tell you they have one. They will say, Were on Facebook and Twitter. When you ask a follow-up question about what kinds of content they are using, the answers regularly become more disturbing. Often, its, What do you mean?
The bottom-line is simple. Most battles are won before the first bullet is fired. In social media, you should have some specific goals and you should build an actual strategic plan that focuses on who you want to target, what types of content you want to use, how often you post, and how you attract the local listeners you want to engage to your personalities and local radio brand. And you should also make sure your content and visuals do not become stale. So, here are a few thoughts as you prepare for a change-of-life season we all know as fall (complete with both PPM and diary ratings and plenty of revenue pressure):
1. Visuals are the No. 1 attractant for eyes in social media. Fun, engaging, or interesting photos, and video that best represents the fun of actually engaging your brand should be in the foreground of your social media today. After all, you want to attract local listeners and visual not only gives you more opportunity to gain access to their attention, there are visually fun elements to the radio business that will encourage familiarity between the local listeners you most want to attract and your radio brands.
2. Causes can be a great electrifier of loyalty to your local personalities and this can lead to loyalty to large portions of your radio station in highly coveted day parts. Do you encourage your staff to identify local causes that are important to them and fight for them in social media? If you dont, you should think about it because people who are highly fired up about causes (appropriate to your format and target, please) can lead other highly passionate believers to your brands and cut off competitors by giving listeners a deep personal reason to choose you : their cause.
3. Twists on content important to your target (those you most want to attract) that lead listeners back to your radio station and to appointments. This means taking a subject that you know does very well with your core target audience and a current event that is happening in pop culture and twisting it so that listeners have to come to your station or directly to your website to get more details. In other words, dont give up the baby in social media. Give them a taste and bring them back to something you own. We should really be trying to do this in ALL THINGS we do in social media environments. After all, we dont really care how Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms do. We should be focused on the strategic mission of improving our connection with important local listeners of our brand and driving results for the local broadcast company.
4. Community involvement can be a big driver for your efforts and get important actives more connected to you if you develop a program for highlighting their events that attract others. You have so many tools for doing this today. You can post pictures and details on Facebook, Twitter, your website and other digital platforms. Again, this is like the causes section above, but this time you are engaging active groups and highlighting their efforts. This is validation of effort and allows you to also gain access (as you should, to having your logos on all printed material, t-shirts and other assets that help connect you to their effort. The more you validate people, the closer they will come to you. When you are dealing with actives who are working on important issues as a group, that is an identified element of the market that is packed with potential cheerleaders for your brand.
5. Visual connectivity is so important that you should develop a regular amount of steady content that focuses on the fun things about your brand that listeners get, want, and have a passion for today. This can be stars in a music format, backstage activities most listeners dont see, pictures of fans inside and outside an arena at a concert, listeners wearing or holding station swag and smiling, and more. It could be politicians and community leaders engaged with your brand if you are a News/Talk station. The focus is on what the most important keys are visually for bringing the listeners you most want to attract in social media closer to your brand. Thats usually fun or something important enough for the listeners to stop and spend time looking. Familiarity breeds loyalty.
6. Finally, you might think that doing the same thing over and over and over is good. Sometimes it is good. However, if you pay close attention you can get a lesson from big companies such as McDonalds or Coke. The most successful national restaurant chains do it. Big time nightclubs do it. Coke does it. They turn the lights up, turn the lights down. Or, I should say, they freshen their brand visuals and offerings. You can do this in social media by adjusting things about your pages or visuals that you use to identify your brand (careful to follow company policy). You are not looking to change your brand. You are only looking to freshen the visual images from time to time so you get noticed again.
The bottom line with social media is that you want to be fun, helpful, and engaging. You dont want to only promote yourself. Much of radio is taking the generic road or the self-promotion road in social media. Stand out. Mean something. Offer listeners something personal. Connect with them and truly engage them. Use visuals and control the percentage of content, when you post, and the freshening of image from time to time to create communities around your radio station that happen to marry up with the local listeners you most want to attract for your brand.
If you dont have a specific strategic plan for social media that works for your radio station, you are making a mistake. Change it. Develop a plan. Dont know how to develop an effective plan? Reach out and get help. This is important stuff if you do it right. The world is changing and consumers (listeners) are gaining access to real power like never before. This isnt just for radio, but all companies better get with consumers and focus on what is important to them. Otherwise, you will be out. Since the biggest efforts in radio have been on reducing every cost and not on expanding our footprint and engagement in local markets, this is especially true for radio.
Social media gives you arguably the easiest path to develop a plan and execute it with specifics to strengthen your advantage over other competitors who are only on Facebook and Twitter.

This article is hilarious. I would love for you to cover every reality show, even though i'm sure that sounds like your worst nightmare.
I thought Daryl Black was absolutely amazing last night! He had such a pure soul sound, and a winning attitude. Some of my coworkers at DISH really liked Dinah, also, and we can't believe she is only 15 years old. The last couple episodes have been a big step up in talent from the start of this season for sure. I've been missing the auditions while I'm at work so I'm catching up using Prime Time Anytime on my Hopper. My DVR automatically records all the prime time shows on the four major networks for me. I'm now a big fan of Daryl so I hope he goes a long way in this competition.

7/20/12by Compost Collection at NYU Wagner
Occupants underestimate compostables by 51%
Before installing composting stations, the Compost Collection @ NYU Wagner team did a waste characterization study to baseline the current waste stream being landfilled. As you can read the Mid Term report, they found that 65% of the waste stream in Wagner's academic space at the Puck Building is actually compostable. The team also surveyed building occupants, who estimated that just 14% of their daily waste is compostable - underestimating by about 50%!

I think we should include StackApps in the bottom nav on Trilogy sites, as it corresponds to all of them. Do you agree?
What is meta? ×
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 150 Stack Exchange communities.
It will probably be added after the public beta ends and official release starts. Right now, it's still sort of an unstable playground and I think the SOFU team doesn't want people to wander there, not know that it's still in beta, and then decide to leave and never come back because it doesn't work for them.

Talk about making chicken salad out of chicken scratch.
The UNC Asheville men's basketball team has been the best program in the Big South Conference over the past six years (68-34, .667) while operating under the smallest budget among the 12 schools.
When Eddie Biedenbach resigned as coach last month after 17 years at Asheville, he indicated a lack of financial and administrative support as a source of frustration and reason for leaving to become an assistant at UNC Wilmington. ...

3 miles of Pine Twp. roads to get resurfaced
A dozen Pine streets are scheduled to receive facelifts.
Pine supervisors voted May 6 to accept a lone bid from Shields Asphalt Paving to resurface three miles of township roads at a cost of $1,590,000.
Roads scheduled for repaving include: Karrastyn Court, Colony Court, Essex Court, Devon Court and Foxford Court — all in the Karrington Woods housing plan.
In the Avonlea Estates housing plan, the following roads will be resurfaced: Ponderosa Court, Ivy Drive, Myrtle Court and Tierra Vista Drive, from Ivy Drive to the cul-de-sac.
South Lake Drive and Treeline Drive — both in Treesdale — also will be repaved.
The 2013 resurfacing projects also include Lyndhurst Circle — from Route 910 to Emmett Road — and spot paving on Manor Road, plus, the re-alignment of South Chapel Drive's intersection with Route 910, near the H2O Auto Wash.
"The current intersection meets Route 910 at an angle, which sometimes makes it difficult to enter or exit," said Scott Anderson, assistant manager of Pine Township. "The reconstruction will make it a 90-degree, "T" intersection with Route 910."
Pine supervisors also voted May 6 to accept a bid by Matcon Diamond Inc. of Pittsburgh to seal cracks on township roads for $49,000.
New employees
The May 6 meeting opened with swearing-in ceremonies for two new employees of Northern Regional Police Department.
New officer Jennifer A. Dempsey, 24, formerly worked for the police departments in McDonald Borough and Hannover Township, both in Washington County.
New officer Ryan G. Olszewski formerly worked for City of Arnold Police Department in Westmoreland County.
Water wells
Franklin Road neighbors of proposed Emerald Fields, a 277-acre housing plan, also attended the meeting to request Pine supervisors' aid in ensuring the quality of their existing water wells.
The neighbors want Pine's supervisors to make Emerald Fields developer Patrick Minnock responsible for any possible damage to their wells caused by the future development of Emerald Fields.
"We feel we need to have our drinking water sources protected," said Sharon Scheidemantle of Franklin Road.
Scheidemantle asked the supervisors to include language in future agreements with the developer that will ensure such protection.
"Is this something you can do for us," asked Glenn Sieber, another Franklin Road resident.
Mike Dennehy, chairman of the Pine supervisors, urged Scheidemantle and Sieber, as neighbors of developer Minnock, to share their concerns with Minnock.
"You would have more leverage than we would," Dennehy said. "We will use whatever leverage we have, which is limited."
Dennehy also urged Scheidemantle and Sieber to repeat their concerns at whatever future meeting of Pine supervisors, including a scheduled vote on Minnock's application for final approval of Emerald Fields.
Minnock already has preliminary approval for the planned residential development of half-million dollar homes. Minnock plans to build Emerald Fields in five phases by the end of 2016.
Anderson, assistant manager of Pine, said the township currently requires baseline testing of water wells near proposed developments. If a neighbor later claims damage to a well, the neighbor then must seek remediation, according to Anderson.
"We cannot mandate that a developer pay for a new well," Anderson said. "But we do require the baseline testing."

Pregnant and nursing woes.
However, you really need to watch the diaper counts - often times mom dries up dring pregnancy & needs to supplement with pumped milk or formula.
Whether you dry up or not will depend and varies between women. Best advice is to stay hydrated, eat adequately, and don't limit feedings.
Not really biting, but scraping teeth or indentations
Teeth scraping, uncomfortable latch, or indentations on your nipple tissue from the teeth is not all that uncommon. It seems to be worse for most moms right when the teeth first cut through, and before they have a chance to wear down some and become less sharp. Babies may also change their latch a bit when they get new teeth, as nursing can feel different to them with the new teeth. With time, baby will learn to nurse better with the new teeth and you won't be so aware of them. Here are some suggestions that have helped other moms:
- With an older baby, the weight of the baby can cause baby's mouth and teeth to "drag down" on the breast tissue. See if you can position baby so that her weight is supported well. Use pillows or a chair with arm rests to support her as much as you can. When she is nursing on the left side, bring her bottom in a little bit closer and vice versa. Don't let her nurse in a position that lets her weight and gravity cause her mouth to pull down on your breast and nipple. Try moving her body slightly in different ways (higher, lower, side to side, etc.) till the pressure on your breast is lessened.
- Latch baby on and position her head so that it is tilted back more to get the pressure of the top teeth off your breast. For example, if baby is nursing in the cradle position on the left side, bring her body toward the right a bit. This will bring baby's chin up, with her head a bit cocked back, and that moves the pressure of baby's top teeth off the top of the nipple. Don't let her chin rest on her chest.
- Some other ways to get baby's head tilted back more: ask your child to look at you while she nurses, or hold a book up high to read to your child and have her look at the book.
- When you support your breast with 2-4 fingers underneath and thumb on top, push in against the chest wall with your index finger just before offering the breast. This will cause the nipple and areola to point down more, so that they don't rub against baby's upper teeth. This technique is often suggested for moms who have nipple soreness due to their nipples rubbing up against the roof of baby's mouth.
- Ask baby to open WIDE and show her with your own mouth. Tell her that it hurts mommy and ask her to try again until it feels better.
- A generous application of lanolin before and after feeding may be helpful, as will rinsing your nipples with cool water after feedings. When babies are teething they produce more saliva which can be irritating to nipple tissue. If baby is eating solids, sometimes food particles left in the mouth can also irritate nipple tissue, so it may help to rinse out baby's mouth or give baby a sip of water prior to nursing.
- Any time you experience soreness, go back to the basics of latch just as you did in the early days.
- It's also possible that some of the tenderness is a result of ovulation or an impending menstrual period. Many moms of older babies are more bothered with latch on and baby's teeth during these times.

The Kicking Mules boys' basketball team started the season off in the right direction with a strong win over Woodhaven at home Tuesday.
"It's always nice to get the first one," coach Nick Lowe said. " You never know what to expect. The speed of the game is going to be new for a lot of these guys."
Coming out strong, the game seemed to move too fast for Woodhaven as Bedford jumped out to a 19-5 lead after the first quarter and never looked back, led by Jeremy Harris' double-double. The senior scored 19 points and brought down 16 rebounds. Adam Swisher and Dylan Barr also played strong defense for the Mules.
"They were all very physical," Lowe said. "They did a good job of containing the dribblers and did a very good job of rebounding. They played great on defense."
The girls' team suffered their first loss of the season against Ann Arbor Huron away Tuesday.
Bedford fell behind 17-3 after the first quarter and suffered a disappointing Southeastern Conference loss to Ann Arbor Huron.
The Mules went into the game with a 2-0 record but were never in the game.
"By Huron's definition, they are rebuilding this year," said Bedford coach Bill Ryan. "It was pretty disappointing. Probably the biggest disappointment is how we were outhustled. We were beaten in almost every facet of the game."
Sophomore Kendall Anderson led with 7 points, but no other Mule scored more than 7.
Bedford's JV team earned its first win 45-28. Maddy Winters led with 10 points and Ashley Wagenhauser scored 8.

Scania's Finnish distributor becomes a wholly-owned Scania subsidiary
Scania has signed a preliminary agreement on acquisition of the remaining 50 percent share capital in Oy Scan-Auto Ab, which imports and markets Scania trucks and buses on the Finnish market. The vendor is the stock-exchange listed Metso Group Abp. The acquisition is part of Scania's strategy to reinforce and develop its European service and sales network.
Scan-Auto operates seven regional Scania units and ten profit centres for the car-based retail trade, and employs a total of 760 people. The company had a turnover last year of 1.8 billion FIM (302.7 million Euros) and sold a total of 848 trucks, 85 buses and 4,308 cars.
Scania is the second-largest brand on the Finnish market for heavy trucks and buses, with a market share of 31.9 and 34.1 percent respectively (August 1999).
Over the past three years, Scan-Auto has invested 156 million FIM in the development of its sales and service networks. The company was founded in 1949 and is one of Scania's oldest-established importers. In 1969, Scania and Valmet Oyj became equal-share owners of the company.
Valmet Oyj was merged in July 1999 with Rauma Oyj to form the Metso Group, which plans, develops and manufactures systems, automation packages and machines for the processing industry.
The sale of Scan-Auto is part of the Metso Group strategy to concentrate on core business areas that support the processing industry.
For further information, please contact press officerUlf Söderström, tel. 08 – 553 810 44, mobile phone 070 – 680 95 95.
Scania is one of the world's leading manufacturers of trucks and buses for heavy transport applications, and of industrial and marine engines. A growing proportion of the company's operations consists of products and services in the financial and service sectors, assuring Scania customers of cost-effective transport solutions and maximum uptime. Employing 35,000 people, Scania operates in about 100 countries. Research and development activities are concentrated in Sweden, while production takes place in Europe and South America, with facilities for global interchange of both components and complete vehicles. In 2007, invoiced sales totalled SEK 84.5 billion and net income amounted to SEK 8.6 billion. Scania press releases are available at www.scania.com

Rick Carlisle "vigilant" about non-calls against Dirk Nowitzki
Rick Carlisle knows how to get his point across. And it may have had something to do with the Mavericks' victory on Wednesday at Boston.
The coach picked up two quick technical fouls less than two minutes into the third quarter when he showed remarkable quickness getting to the far end of the court to tell the referees that Kevin Garnett was being allowed to take too many liberties defensively with Dirk Nowitzki.
Carlisle knew he earned the automatic ejection.
"It's just my opinion, but I don't think Kevin Garnett should be allowed to bear-hug Dirk when he's trying to come off screens," Carlisle said. "I thought that was something that should be allowed and I'm pretty vigilant about my feeling about that.
"It cost me a few thousand dollars, but you got to make your point. It was a foul that should have been called and that's the way it is."
There is no way to know for sure, but it could have made a difference at the end of the game, when the referees called a foul on Brandon Bass as Nowitzki went to the rim strong in the final seconds. The three-point play ended up winning the game.
Of course, that play was a pretty obvious foul. Once Nowitzki took Garnett to the basket, somebody had to step in and try to stop him.

"I don't know of any economist who doesn't believe that better functioning capital markets in which assets can be traded are a good idea."
-Lawrence Summers
There are Markets, and then there are markets. I am less sure that Larry Summers understands the differences between the two. That's why I almost called this post "The Star Wars Collectibles Hedge Fund."
Summers is part of a group whose ideology is that Markets are a solution to many of our economic woes. I don't necessarily disagree with this, except on the definition of what a market is. Indeed, what many economists and free market zealots call "Markets" are somewhat misleading. A place where people come together to buy and sell goods is a small "m" market — a bazaar or flea market — and may not be ideal for what some people expect from capital "M" Markets. Consider purposes of price discovery, information transmission, transaction efficiencies that are less than ideal in markets where the goods are non-uniform, information is expensive or time consuming to obtain, where transactions are infrequent, and where expertise is rare. (I've made many of the same point regarding prediction markets, also).
And that pretty much describes the RMBS and CDO markets. Its is one of the primary reasons why there was no exit when toxic securitized paper needed to be dumped.
The major Markets — Equities, Fixed Income, Commodities, Futures, Options and Currencies — have on a daily basis billions of transactions worth trillions of dollars. They are broad, deep, liquid. You can sell any of these assets, in size, instantaneously.
And this points out why the decision to buy any size in RMBS, CDOs and even CDS was so problematic. The commercial and investment banks and funds that chose to invest in these "financial products" – difficult to value, thinly traded, non-uniform — was the root of the problem. That they happened to be so poorly constructed is almost besides the point. Its the non-existent market place for these hold-to-maturity securities. If you are looking for the underlying cause of why some arcane accounting rule is an issue, this is it.
This is why smart funds don't buy beanie babies or Star Wars collectibles. Its hard to to justify the risk of owning hard to value, thinly traded, very difficult to sell items.
The banks made a poor decision: "Let's bypass the broad, deeply traded traditional markets and instead create new markets for new products." Not only that, but they dove headfirst into these markets in huge size. No one should be surprised that the net result was a flawed system of garbage paper, with too little room at the exits in case of emergency.
And while I recently wrote Paul Krugman was wrong about securitization, he got closer to the truth when he criticized the deification of markets.
Buying billions of dollars of securities when there is no easy exit, no liquidity, and no transparency is near the top of the list of really dumb things the banks did.

|Adding a life-course perspective to cardiovascular-risk communication.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23296067 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Current practice in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves estimation of the short-term (typically 5-10-year) risk of developing CVD. This risk estimation can serve as the prelude to a conversation between physicians and patients about CVD risk and risk-reducing therapies. However, focusing solely on short-term risk directs these conversations towards individuals who, in all likelihood, have already accrued substantial atherosclerosis during their lifetime. We suggest that estimation of lifetime risk and other novel methods of risk communication, such as risk-adjusted age, should be used as an adjunct to 10-year risk estimation. We believe that these strategies will improve patient understanding of CVD risk, identify new sections of the population who might benefit from preventive therapy, and motivate lifestyle changes and adherence to therapy early in the course of disease progression.

Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray spoke today about their feelings before playing in the fourth Masters 1000 competition.
The start of the big favourites' campaigns in the Mutua Madrid Open is ever closer. Apart from David Ferrer who is playing the Estoril final this Sunday, the rest of the Madrid tournament favourites spoke to the media today before their first games.
First to answer questions was Spanish player Rafa Nadal, champion of the tournament in 2005 and 2010, who will be seeking this third Caja Mágica title this year.
The Balearic Islander praised the quality of the courts. "The courts this year fortunately are really good. I think they are great. The only thing I can say is thank you to the tournament, you know, for the money that they have invested to have the highest quality courts in here", he said.
Nadal also commented that he did not feel under pressure as he has to play in front of a public that is always with him, but in fact that this motivates him to perform well. "It's always a reason to be happy for me to play at home. It's reason for me to be happy and motivated. Pressure, I don't have more pressure here than anywhere else. I like to play at home. I like the feeling of playing here, playing in front of my people here, my audience. Whether I play here, in Monte‑Carlo, Barcelona, Indian Wells, Acapulco, it doesn't matter. The main goal is always the same: Doing as well as possible. I want to say thank you to the people who support me here in the training sessions and the matches. Over here I had some really, really good moments here and good feelings", added the ex world number one.
The current champion, Roger Federer, returns to the courts after an absence caused by physical problems. He hopes to return stronger than ever to try to defend the Caja Mágica title he won last year. "Just been home and practising hard as I was hoping to. I feel good now. It took me a little time to get over my back issue from Indian Wells. But at the same time, that collided with my vacation anyway. I am entering all the tournaments from here through to the US Open, so it's going to be a long stretch. You want to be ready for it. I'm very excited, which is a good thing", said the Swiss player.
Novak Djokovic agreed with the rest of the players about the courts. "The court is great, the opinions of the other players I can hear are all positive comments, so it's great to see that." The Serbian added how "it's always positive to see a tournament doing everything to make a player feel comfortable playing on the court, and of course feeling good off the court as well." Nole explained that his ankle has recovered. "It's better every day. I've been doing a lot of work from the end of Monte‑Carlo tournament until now in order to get ready for Madrid. It's a very big tournament that I always like to play in."
Andy Murray was also present in the press conference and shed his compliments regarding the Mutua Madrid Open. The "Courts are fantastic. We got here early. Got here Wednesday night, so been practicing for a few days. I played on the Centre court, I played on Sanchez Vicario, and also four or five of the practice courts as well. They're excellent." The British player did not want to bet on any favourites, "I have no idea who will win. In individual sport it's very difficult to tell. I think especially playing in this altitude." Although he did speak about Rafa Nadal, "I think Rafa is extremely strong mentally. I think the way he came back from his injury shows that. He came back very well", said Murray.

Precious Rose- 1
16th Birthday
I was right there in last period, Math, starring at the clock and waiting for the bell to ring so I can get out of school, see my friends and go home to my brother and Aunt Janeane, I love my brother so much. He's the only family I have since we don't live with our parents, we live with our auntie. Well mainly I do. Our only legal guardian since our parents gave me up. We don't know why though, my brother Derik wasn't born yet he was born 1 year after me, 1 year before I was given up. We were always told it was because our parents weren't ready to raise any kids. I wonder how my parents' house look...
Suddenly, the bell rang making a loud buzz that scared me and broke my thoughts. I jumped up out of my seat and grabbed my empire intrepid valise shoulder bag and headed for the door. When I was outside of the door I raced to the school's exit doors to meet up with my best friends Nicholai, and Easa.
"Hey loveys" I said in an exciting tone.
They all looked and responded with a Hi and groups hug.
"You guys coming over for my birthday tomorrow?" I asked
"Hell yeah, baby" Easa said with confidence. "It's no way were gonna miss that"
Easa has maroon hair and hazel eyes. Nicholai has long dark brown curly hair and dark brown eyes. I have long black hair, it's very thick but soft, I'm gonna give it a crazy trim soon, my eyes are really epic. They are a light and endless black.
In the sunlight they glisten grey. When I'm upset or mad people say they turn red. I've never seen them like that before though, so it's kind of hard to believe.
"So what are we doing anyway for your birthday?" Nicholai asked.
"Well I wanted to actually go out and spend some time with Derik since I only see him on the weekends. But you guys can spend the night and the next day we were gonna go to the club"
"It's uh Plan!" said Easa
"Yeah" Nicholai agreed
When we reached Easa's car Nicholai climbed into the passenger seat and I got into the back. I liked the back of Easa's Lexus Truck, it was so comfortable and spacious.
When I was in the house I yelled to my Auntie that I was home.
I jogged up the steps, into my room put my bag on the hook on the side of my dresser and sat my books on my nightstand. I went in to the next room to check on Derik. I always had a feeling that I needed to take care of Derik because I felt like something bad would happen to him, I try not to think about things like that though because I don't want to jinx him. I went to his room and wasn't surprised to see that he was memorized and dazed into the television of flashing lights and the screaming of monsters. Today was Friday and he always got out of school before me. So he must have gotten here early.
"Hey Derik!!!" I said annoyingly
"What do you want?" He said
"Nothing, I just wanted to check on you"
"Why? You're not my mom or anything"
"Well I am your big sister, and I love you"
"Eeeew , get out your talking crazy now" he said shooing me away
"Wait can you call dad and ask him if he's coming over next Saturday for my birthday, because he never talks to me, but always you."
"No that's not true you just always call him when he's busy. But fine I'll call him when I'm done this mission"
"Thanks Direk" I ran over to give him a hug, and headed back toward the door.
"Call me if you need me"
"Yeah whatever, sure." He said nonchalantly
I headed through the bathroom and hopped in the shower. A few minutes later I stepped out with my black towel covered in roses wrapped around me, roses were my favorite flower. I changed into a pair of pajamas. A tank top and shorts with roses on them too.
Next Friday I felt different. Eccentric. I felt 16 but I had a feeling that something was missing. I sat down at my desk in 4 period in the middle of the classroom in the far right corner. And I happen to look around and the strange dark figure in the back of the classroom happened to catch my attention.
"He must be new" I muttered to myself
He glanced up and looked me directly in my eyes, he kept starring until I broke the tension between us. My heart started racing. He was so hot! His hair was spiked up it was short though, his eyes looked black from my distance. They must have been the same color of my eyes when there not in the sun. Why did I feel like I knew him, or seen him before ? I was so freaked! I got up and left the classroom and went to the ladies room, I looked up at myself in confusion. I was wearing black polka dot tube top, red ruffle skirt, and black Swedish clogs.
"That was really weird?" I exhaled
I grabbed my iPhone5 from my bag, and typed a message to my dad:
Hey dad it's me, Avery. I just wanted to ask you something really important to me? Please call me. I Love Yah, <3
- Your daughter Avery
I sent the message, then tried calling him . . . . . It went to voicemail, he didn't answer. My eyes got watery, and all I could think was, does he hate me? Did I do something wrong to upset him so much that he hates and never wants to talk to me? Ugh, I closed my eyes and couldn't point out my flaws on hand at the time. So I blinked my tears away and headed back to class were we only had 5 minutes left and Mr. Slack was talking about an essay that we have to write about and how it must be finished by the end of the month. I'm doing mine on Vampires of course. I'm going to be taking flash photography of the gothic agriculture artwork at the museums I'll be visiting, because it's not like I'm going to see a real one.
The bell rings for lunch. Chairs start rumbling and rustling, I pick up my things I look around for that strange figure that I saw earlier when I came in. . . . He was gone.
I was outside waiting for Derik to come. He wasn't ever dropped off directly in front of the house because my parents never wanted to see me as I was waiting for him. When he showed up I greeted him with a cheer and lovely hug. Then I went to my room to change my clothes for when we go out tonight. I was looking for my eyeliner, and when I turned to check my closet I seen a book on my bed. It felt leathery and looked old. The title read 'Precious Diary' My middle name was precious so I figured it had to do with something in our family it was too late to start reading it. I had to get dress. I scrambled through my closet. I put on black lean shredded jeans, Barbara leather boots, and black and red lace corset. I applied a sufficient amount of eyeliner and mascara. I know tonight was gonna be fun, only because I was going to be with the people I love and care about.
"Derik, you ready?" I yelled upstairs
"Yeah, I'm coming" he replied back
My auntie and I headed out of the door to her Ford truck, and Derik followed locking the house front door. This time I got into the passenger's seat. We met up with Easa and Nicholai at Roses Garden.
"Is this that place were all people eat, is salads, and vegetarian food?" Derik asked hopelessly
"No, it's a buffet. Sorry Derik if this isn't were you wanted to come" I said apologetically
"No need to apologize" said my Aunt Janeane
"Yeah besides, it's your birthday" Easa said with a grin and elbowing me in my shoulder.
"Right and I am sure Derky would understand" Nicholai said pinching Derik in his right cheek "Isn't that right Derky?"
"Ye-Yes, now. Please stop pinching my cheeks" Derik said tempered
"My bad" Nicholai said letting go of his cheeks.
I wanted to check out the rose garden with Derik, while everybody else to go pay for the table of 5, and get the drinks. The boutique of blood red roses were arranged so beautifully, I seen Derik looking at another boutique of colorful roses. Then as I was turning around to see the larger boutique, a dark figure caught my attention again, and I shockingly took a step back. I was thinking to myself, who that could be.
"Who is that?"

What: World music and alternative folk band, Round Mountain
When: 7:30 p.m. today
Where: Crash Music at the Historic Aztec Theater, 104 N. Main Ave. in Aztec
Cost: ickets are $12. Kids 12 and under are free.
More info: Tickets are available at crashmusicaztec.com or by phone at 505-427-6748. For more information on Round Mountain, go to roundmountainmusic.com/music.
AZTEC — For years, two musical brothers from Santa Fe have traveled around the world, picking up friends and fans, instruments and sounds.
Tonight, they will share the spoils at Crash Music at the Historic Aztec Theater.
Brothers Char and Robby Rothschild perform together as Round Mountain, named after a pine-topped peak at the southern end of the Rocky Mountains where the brothers spent a lot of time hiking and camping as kids.
Now with families of their own, the brothers infuse their unique sound with a duffel bag full of musical flavors, rich in storytelling and style.
After years of travel and training, they play a multitude of instruments together.
At 40, elder brother Char Rothschild has achieved most people's bucket list, having traveled from Egypt to Ireland in 1996 and to Tokyo in 1997, playing for the Old Moscow Circus. Live, he sings and plays guitar, dobro and Bulgarian and highland bagpipes and has made a magic act of playing the trumpet and accordion simultaneously. He has studied trumpet with Paul Yutaka Tobe of the Japan Philharmonic and Zahir Ramadanov of Ansambl Teodosievski.
Robby Rothschild, 36, earned a master's degree in music composition from the University of New Mexico and has travelled to Africa and throughout Europe, performing with Guinean griot Prince Diabaté, Zimbabwean political activist and musician Thomas Mapfumo and German-born guitarist Ottmar Liebert.
He primarily plays instruments he can either tap, slap or strum, including the cajón, a six-sided, box-shaped drum from Peru, and two West African instruments, the kora and djembe.
On "Coffee," a song off the group's new album, "The Goat," you might catch the sound of Robby Rothschild "playing" an espresso machine's steam wand.
The brothers have shared the stage with or opened for the Malian kora player Toumani Diabaté, banjo phenomenon Bela Fleck, folk-rockers The Mammals and traditional Irish music innovator Andy Irvine.
The Rothschild brothers blend multiple instruments and musical genres into an eclectic and mesmeric brew.
"We have done some travelling, and now we're on the road a lot touring to support the new album," said Robby Rothschild. "The stuff that we've done, the places we've been and the people we've been fortunate to meet and share music with just informs our musical ideas, keeps them growing, learning."
Difficult to pin down and impossible to neatly classify, the band defies either the folk or world music categories.
"It's funny because it was never a conscious choice to be a fusion band," said Robby Rothschild. "We just try to follow the sense of authentic -- as in the word, author -- to do what comes from the heart, including the cultural traditions that we've studied. We play what has just sort of ended up organically with how we sound."
Part of that sound is a wide swath of musical flavors, including Irish, West African, Appalachian, Afro Beat, Zimbabwean, Turkish, Roma and Balkan. The brothers' four albums and live performances are a hearty, earthy, bouncy melange of sounds.
"The Rothschilds are familiar faces here and very talented," said Dorothy Massey, co-owner of the Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse in Santa Fe, where the band performed, and, for a time, where Robby worked as a barista. "Incredible players of many instruments. They're wildly popular. I would love to get them back."
Just back from a two-month, coast-to-coast tour of the country, the band made new connections with their growing fan base and fellow performers, including equally hard to classify New York-based Jean Rohe, a genre-blending Brazilian, folk and jazz singer.
"One of my favorite things about life is that you can play music and communicate and meet amazing people," said Robby Rothschild. "The human part just extends from it, it keeps you inspired, dreaming and humbled."
