And when one person leaves, a new one's introduced. When it comes to ABC's "Scandal," people definitely have their favorites as well as those who irk them.

First home GameDay is here
That means the band, DT, Cheerios, tailgating, live band, and for those newbies, the LAW.
There has never been any kind of trouble at any of the games since FAU began playing at Lockhart in 2003, but that has not stopped the cops from showing up in force to, well, I really don't know why they are there.
Just be aware that it is not just cops, but ATF and FDLE and I think the Coast Guard even show up to make sure it is one cop for every three fans.
They are not only in uniform, but undercover, so if you are tailgating and drinking an adult beverage, expect to be carded.
Hopefully when FAU moves to campus, the law enforcement presence will diminish. I am not advocating under age drinking, but I am advocating responsible use of law enforcement, and it certainly seems there are more important things to do on a Saturday afternoon than congregate at Lockhart Stadium as if it were a crack dealer convention.
Annual first home game rant over.
FAU RUNNING GAME – Offensive coordinator Gary Nord said he knew rushing yards would be tough against Texas, so the game plan was pass-first, and it didn't work out too bad. But against UAB, which was last in run defense in the nation last season, and gave up 361 yards rushing to Tulsa, expect FAU to run often. And if they have success, it opens up the passing game, and that would mean a huge day for the offense.
FAU DEFENISVE LINE – It was the problem last year and nothing has changed. FAU has to get some push into the UAB backfield and make QB Joe Webb uncomfortable. Without any pressure, expect the Flameouts to move it pretty well and keep the game interesting for too long.
As noted previously, I see FAU scoring at least five TDs today. The question is the D. And I think they will be able to handle UAB.
UAB has the SAME PROBLEM, and is hoping its offense can outscore FAU's.
FAU comes into this game pretty ticked off about the way they played in Texas. They want to defend their home turf, and they understand the important of winning this game to set up the back-to-back trips to Michigan State and Minnesota.
See you at Lockhart. I will post before the game and at halftime, and then have something after the game, and a big spread on Sunday.

The Boston Bruins' last-minute win was overshadowed by Shawn Thornton's takedown of Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik. Orpik was taken from the ice on a stretcher.
Midway into the first period, Thronton was given a match penalty for grabbing Orpik from behind, pulling him to the ice and punching him when he was down. Orpik appeared to be dazed by a punch, but might have also hit his head on the ice.
The Penguins said on their Twitter site that Orpik returned from Massachusetts General Hospital and will be traveling with the team back to Pittsburgh.
"Obviously I made a mistake," Thornton said. "I'm aware of it. I've been told that they're having a hearing, and it's hard for me to say much more other than that's not my intention. I feel awful. I feel sick."
Players quickly called for medical assistance for Orpik. He was taken off on a stretcher after about a 10-minute delay.
In the first minute, Orpik hit Boston's Loui Eriksson with his shoulder near the winger's head as he turned to move up the ice. Eriksson went to the dressing room. The Bruins said he "would not return."
Before the game, Bruins coach Claude Julien said defenseman Johnny Boychuk (back spasms) is expected to be out up to a week, two days after being taken off the ice on a stretcher in a loss to Montreal.

Help!!!! Please tell me how to fix what may be wrong with my chicks, their parents wouldn't set a nest, so I incubated 4 eggs and got 2 chicks. Now they are 3 days old and their bottoms stay covered in poo and I have to wash their hinies, two or three times a day. What have I done wrong or how do I help them. They are in a plastic storage bin with shaving and paper towels lots of food and water.
You can usually prevent this by giving newborn

I didn't think it was possible for me to be any more excited about P.T. Anderson's upcoming religious drama that was at one point called The Master. First off, Anderson is one of my very favorite directors, so anything he does is going to excite me. Secondly, Philip Seymour Hoffman is starring as the L. Ron Hubbard stand-in who serves as the main character, and he's about the best actor on the planet. And third, much like Anderson's last film, There Will Be Blood, this one is going to feature a score by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood. Last time around that equaled aural awesomeness.
But now there's a new rumor swirling around the project that is almost too cool to believe, and coming from these sources, I'd say it's pretty dang reliable. Cinema Blend was peeping in on a Twitter conversation between two directors from the Pixar stable, Brad Bird and Andrew Stanton, about movies being shot in 65mm, and they uncovered the tidbit that Anderson is going to be the next director to utilize the format. Somewhere in the thread of the conversation Bird said to Stanton, " … Nolan shot a lot of Dark Knight Rises in IMAX. I think PT Anderson's next is 65 too." To which Stanton replied, "The Master is indeed in 65. They nearly lost a camera shooting in the Bay."
So, for the uninitiated, what is 65mm? It's the native IMAX format that was used to create the huge, impressive action sequences in The Dark Knight and Bird's Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. The 65mm image is way larger and clearer than what you're used to getting in normal films, and the result is a very immersive, jaw dropping end product. The format hasn't been used all that much yet because it's a lot more expensive to shoot this way and it's a lot more of a challenge due to the heavy, unwieldy cameras (as evidenced by Anderson's alleged mishap), but with 3D largely puttering out at the box office a lot of people in the industry are hoping that IMAX will step in to be the next big money maker. I don't know if that's going to happen, but watching the format getting tested out by filmmakers like Christopher Nolan, Brad Bird, and P.T. Anderson is pretty dang fun to watch. I can't wait to see what Anderson comes up with. Hoffman's head is going to look huge!

Pumping Pointers
I'm due in late January with my first baby. I've had an easy pregnancy (knock on wood) and am planning to continue working until I go into labor and then return to work after my 12 weeks of maternity leave. I would love to exclusively breastfeed, but I also do not want to be tied to my baby all the time. I have a pump, but how do you get started? And when should I start? I want to hopefully get my supply to a point that I can freeze milk so that I can do crazy reckless things like leave my baby with Grandma for a night, but I just have no idea how to do it. Do you have any helpful tips or pointers or things you wish you'd known? Can you help, Boob-Master?
Okay, before I type another word, please promise me that sometime in the next month, BEFORE the baby arrives, you'll find a local lactation consultant. Ask your friends or your OB/midwife, or even your future pediatrician's office for a recommendation. If you can't seem to get a specific "oh I used this woman and she was wonderful" recommendation from anybody, call La Leche League and get some names and do some interviews. You'll want somebody with a good bedside manner, a breastfeeding philosophy similar to your own, and someone who — on the off chance that you run into trouble — is not going to be completely insane about supplementing and/or other nursing aids.
(My first LC spent the first 15 minutes of our visit bitching about formula in the hospital bags, likening it to "sending a crack baby's mother home with drugs," riiiiiight before she put Noah on the scale and realized how much weight he'd lost and that he actually NEEDED that formula in order to escape being rehospitalized. And then she wondered why I sat there sobbing for the rest of the appointment. And then probably wondered why I made my next appointment with SOMEBODY ELSE.)
My initial LC experience aside, I will testify to the skies that a good LC is essential, and not even just for first-time mothers. My LC's office was a great resource for low-cost breastfeeding supplies: everything from pillows to gel pads to prescriptions for the absolutely essential All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO) and for helping me spot potential problems (think thrush or mastitis) before they turned into bigger problems. And my LC was a wonderful all-around postpartum resource for me, who would give me the encouragement and pep talks I so desperately needed AND give me permission to like, go out for dinner and a movie and leave the newborn with a grandparent, because she was a big believer that even exclusively nursing moms Need A Damn Break. And after struggling with supply problems the first time around, she came up with a plan ahead of time to start amping my supply up from the day Ezra was born. And it worked! Oh lands, did it ever work.
The pump, incidentally, was a big part of that plan. (Along with teas and herbal supplements.) So I admit I personally never had the experience of pumping just for daycare and nights out, at least not initially. My dreams of breastfeeding Noah exclusively were dashed long before my maternity leave was up, because I simply couldn't pump very much milk at all, nor did it seem to be "enough" to keep my supply steady and level once I was back at work and using it instead of actually nursing all those hours.
I had a much more successful relationship with the pump the second time around and was eventually able to store and freeze plenty of extra milk while nursing exclusively at home, but the way I got there was unique to my situation. I pumped for 10 extra minutes after EVERY FEEDING from like, the DAY I BROUGHT EZRA HOME. I basically tricked my newly postpartum body into thinking I had twins, so it upped my supply accordingly. This is…well, probably not what you'll need to do, without known or suspected supply problems. Again: a lactation consultant will be able to tell you everything that you need to know about pumping, for you and your boobs and your baby and your schedule and your wishes. Breastfeeding and pumping are not really one-size-fits-all with a set of established rules that work for everybody. Go get yourself a customized plan.
If I HAVE to commit to typing out some general tips I learned, well, here goes:
You can really start pumping any time. It's best to feed the baby first, then add on five to 10 minutes on the pump immediately post-feeding. That way you aren't denying the baby any of that essential milk while your body is still figuring out how much to make. HOWEVER, this approach can lead to oversupply problems, if you start before your body has regulated itself. Or it can help with undersupply, like it did for me! Ohhhh, good lord, I KNOW. Again: a good LC will help take the guesswork out of the "when to start" and "how often" question.
No matter WHEN you start or how often you pump, don't expect to necessarily be stockpiling ounces and ounces of milk right from the start. And don't assume that just because you can only pump an ounce and a half in 20 minutes means that's all your poor baby is getting during a 20 minute nursing session. I cannot stress this enough: Your baby is way, way more efficient at getting milk out than the pump.
Pumping takes practice. So there's this thing called "letdown." It's a…kind of a reflex, I guess, where your body realizes the baby wants milk and suddenly WHOOSH, you feel your boobs tingle maybe even swell a bit and you realize WHOA, there is milk there and the milk is ready and baby needs to EAT. NOW. It can be triggered by simple timing, the sound of your baby's cry or the feeling of his breath on your chest or even just the smell of his head or clothing. The letdown makes it easier for your baby to get milk, and it also makes it easier for express milk via the pump. But since it's a hormonal, mental thing, you may realize that you put the pump to your boobs and…nothing. Very little milk, and the slightly unsettling realization that you feel like a damn dairy cow. So you have to figure out ways to trigger the letdown (unless you're pumping post-actual feeding). Some women use a photo of their baby or visualization techniques. I had the most success with smelling Ezra's clothing or blankets, but also found that turning on a sink faucet worked pretty well too.
(God, just typing that triggered a phantom letdown feeling. BOOBS ARE WEIRD.)
And lastly, since you mentioned you already bought your pump: Don't open it yet. Don't even take the shrink-wrapped or bagged-up parts out of the box to examine them. You may not ever actually use that pump. While the plastic manual/hand pumps and double-electric pumps sold at the baby stores seem like a totally essential item that YOU MUST BUY BEFORE BABY IS BORN OR ELSE ALL IS LOST, the fact is that they simply don't end up working for a decent-sized segment of the breastfeeding population. Both times, I needed to rent a hospital-grade pump for the first few months in order to actually, you know, GET MILK OUT OF MY BOOBS. Eventually, with Ezra, I was able to return the rental and downgrade to the popular Medela Pump-in-Style. (Never with Noah, though. I ALWAYS needed the heavy-duty pump that went up to 11, so to speak.)
The Pump-in-Style is a GREAT pump for working moms with healthy, established supplies…but seriously, it's expensive and should probably only be purchased once you KNOW for a fact that you are headed back to work with a healthy, established supply and not before. I registered for a pump when I was pregnant with Noah and multiple people warned me not to bother, and to simply request a rental at the hospital, but I didn't listen, because BABY THINGS! I NEED TO BUY ALL THE BABY THINGS! Yeah. I totally should have listened, because I never, ever used whatever pricey Avent pump thing I initially ended up with.
Anyway, that's probably all the general pumping advice I can offer without getting (even more) uselessly specific to my specific experiences. And I probably could have saved us all a LOT of time by just beginning and ending with the lactation consultant bit. So just go back and re-read that first paragraph and go find yourself a bona fide Boob Expert to guide you through the Incredibly Natural Process Of Breastfeeding That Women Have Been Doing For Centuries But For Some Reason It's A Lot More Complicated Now Than Back When We Were All Just On The Fields & Tundra Or Whatever.

The way I built up supply was to feed the baby on one boob and then pump the other one. Whoa boy did I ever have supply. I started a couple days after the baby was born and continued through my six week (Thank you oh so generous state university's "family friendly" policy) maternity leave.
I had a ton of milk stockpiled and the baby gained weight like crazy. I'm pretty sure my LC devised this plan based on my particular situation though. So make sure you find an LC you like. Some of them are amazing and some of them are awful. You don't want to find out the one you chose is awful while you are all sleep-deprived and confused….

I pumped for 11 months after going back to work. 1) Amy is so right about the baby being way more efficient at removing milk then the pumps.
2)From my personal experience, if you seem to be pumping way more milk then you need, be cautious about reducing the amount you pump. Your supply may dip and it's hard to go back up.
3)Some babies eventually figure out if they just wait until mommy comes home they can get the fresh stuff instead of the bottled. It's called reverse cycling and it's when a baby will drink only a litte from the bottle to hold off hunger during the day, and then nurse a whole lot while mama is home. I offer this up so your care provider doesn't worry too much if baby seems to be eating very little.
4)Amen to LCs and/or La Leche League where you can get advice and maybe meet other pumping mamas.
My son HATED breastfeeding. He liked facing out and, since I was huge even without the extra oomph lactating gave, it was a struggle to get him latched on.
I pumped for nine months and supplemented with formula and we all wound up okay.
For WEEKS I felt like a failure because I couldn't feed my son the way I had expected
Remember that it's a process, and that it will have ups and downs and I totally third the advice to get cosy with a LC now.
And also, Medela's hands-free pumping attachments (needs a special bra) will allow you to read, or knit, or eat your lunch while pumping. They saved my sanity and are completely responsible for extending my pumping.

I could not agree more with the hands-free. I tried to pump at work with my first and it really was a disaster. but not to get too far into that; it was so much better with my second when I had the hands free. I explained to my midwife, which I did not have for my first, that I only did one side at a time. she said why? and I said I don't know I have to hold them and then all I can do is stare at the walls. and she said get one of those hands free things. oh didn't know they had such a thing. thank you midwife/lactation consultant/councelor.

Amalah gives great advice here, and I just want to corroborate it by sharing with Megan a bit of my experience. First, while LCs can be worth their weight in gold, they often have conflicting ideas about what might solve particular problems. Therefore, the "shop around" approach advocated by Amalah is a fantastic idea. (I had a lot of problems [for a lot of specific reasons] with breast feeding my son during his first month, and–of the [six] different LCs and LLL-ers I sought out for help–my breast-feeding specialist of a pediatrician helped me the most). Second, I would suggest that you actually return the pump. I, too, bought a (very expensive) pump too early, and although the pump worked fine for me (the Pump in Style), insurance would have covered it if I had simply waited a bit longer (my son ended up in NICU, and the LCs there could and would have prescribed the pump for me).
Finally, I also want to say that breast feeding really is really easy for a lot of Moms. It wasn't for me (although, after getting the help I needed, I was able to regulate my over-supply and continue to stock away a very healthy reserve for daycare and date nights), but it is and has been for a lot of women I know.
Good luck!

I'm with Pogita– pumping on the other side while nursing can work really well!
Since my babe was nursing as I pumped, letdown wasn't a problem. I liked that it meant that the bottle would contain the same mix of foremilk and hindmilk that she got during a nursing session– pumping after nursing results in a bottle with mostly hind milk. It meant that the overall contents of the bottle were consistent with what she got during a nursing session. I also appreciated how it helped condition my body and my baby to a schedule of more intense, less frequent nursing sessions. Being able to go 4 or so hours comfortably between nursing sessions was super helpful– I could pump a bottle during our last nursing session in the morning before I went to work, pump only once during the workday (two bottles worth at lunchtime), and then pump another bottle while nursing as soon I was home from work. This routine worked great for us– childcarers had plenty of bottles to give her during the day when I was at work and I was able to build a small stock of milk in the freezer as well.
I used the Lansinoh pump and recommend it.
I third the pumping left boob while feeding from the right. I do it about twice a week with a Medela Swing pump and now that my baby girl is 3 months old, I get about 3 ounces per pump. When she was a newer newborn-y baby, I'd only get about 1-2 ounces. I only say this because you will meet moms who say they get like, 5 oz per pumping, or that their left boob leaks out a good 4 ounces per feeding without a pump so they just hold a freakin' CUP there….and it's all normal. I pumped from day 1 with my first baby and didn't remember to start until #2 was 3 or 4 weeks old.

One other recommendation, if the pumping is uncomfortable, or pinching, or hurting in any way, change the "horn" size. I don't know what the part is technically called but the first one I had was too small and really hurt. I had a rental from a local baby-stuff store and when I returned it to actually buy one, I was complaining to the clerk about how it hurt and she gave me a smaller size "horn" to try and it felt sooo much better, I didn't grit my teeth every time I had to pump.

I pumped for the first three weeks while my daughter and I were struggling with breastfeeding, and then I took a couple of months off. When I started pumping again two weeks before my return to work, I was super stressed because I could only pump two or three oz, and my girl was eating waaaay more than that per bottle. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I produce four – six oz twice a day while I am at work… It had not occurred to me that I would have more milk for pumping when I was not simultaneously feeding the baby. Duh!
Angela Dec 22 at 1:07 pm Reply
If you have 12 weeks of maternity leave, I might recommend holding off on starting pumping until your baby is a few weeks old (unless you have supply problems/actual medical advice that says otherwise, of course). The whole learning-to-nurse process left me really sore for a good week or two after my daughter was born; pumping would have been really uncomfortable. I rented a hospital-grade pump when she was about 3 weeks old, I think. By then things had toughened up and pumping went pretty well, and I still had plenty of time to build up a supply in the freezer before I went back to work.
Once I figured out that pumping did work for me, I returned the rental pump and bought a used breast pump on craigslist. People are squeamish about this for some reason, but folks, the milk never goes in the actual pump itself! I just got new horns and tubes and was good to go.
I also did the nurse on one side/pump on the other thing (although I didn't do them at the same time…wow, in retrospect that would have saved me a lot of time!). I tried to get myself into a similar schedule as I would be doing at work (2x/day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon), just to get used to it.
I can't recommend http://www.kellymom.com enough. The site is evidence-based and moderated by internationally board certified lactation consultants. They have helped me out of a jam more than once.
I'm going to add one little tiny practical tip that allowed me to pump while at work for 9 months:
Don't forget the lanolin. It sounds silly, but in the beginning I thought I couldn't use lanolin while pumping for some reason until an LC told me differently. I almost gave up on pumping because WOW was it uncomfortable–until I got that little tip. It made it so much easier, and I kind of wish I hadn't gone 3 weeks without knowing that bit of info.

Get the hands free pumping bra. It will be your best friend. It is awesome. You can find it right next to the breast pumps in the baby section at Target for about $28. It is AWESOME. I was able to pump in the car b/c of it and send lots of emails :o)
Pumping during the first few days/weeks, for me, were so isolating b/c I would feed my twins and then hand them over to visitors and have to go pump for 10-15 minutes. By the time you get everything done, washed, and breathe – it is time to start all over again. So set up a pumping station/room that is comfortable and where you have access to a TV, computer, book or something to take your mind off the fact that you might be missing out on cuddle time and visitors b/c you have to pump.
Use a hospital grade pump at first. They are crucial.
Also, I got really overwhelemed with breastfeeding a month or so in and decided to exclusively pump. After a few days of that my supply went way down and never really recovered so just something to keep in mind.
We had four lacatation consultants in the hospital and every one of them told us something completely different – and it was usually the opposite of what the lady the day before told us – so find one you like and stick with her if you can.
Finally, it took my babies 6+ weeks to really get the hang of breastfeeding. Once they become less floppy it gets SO MUCH easier! So hang in there and stick it out even when it seems hard and you are scared your sweet one isn't getting enough. It will be okay! Good Luck!

I love that you mentioned a phantom letdown. I thought I was crazy for sometimes having the feeling of a letdown even though I stopped breastfeeding 4 months ago.
Olivia Dec 22 at 1:58 pm Reply
Angela, it's not just about some women being sqeamish to buy a used pump. Pumps are medical equipment and most medical equipment is not recommended to be shared. And unless the pump is a Closed System pump (like Ameda or a couple others; Medela is NOT a closed system) there is a possiblity of milk getting into the pumping system which cannot be cleaned. It probably works out okay most of the time, but it's something to consider.
Hannah Dec 22 at 2:28 pm Reply
My daughter refused to nurse (and was jaundiced, so had to be fed formula right out of the gate, so to speak). So I pumped for 7 months and just fed her the milk in a bottle. if you're worried about your supply, you can always supplement with formula, and a reasonable LC will be down with that. On the pumping bra thing – just buy a $15 sports bra at target, cut holes out approximately where your nipples are, and stick those "horn" things in. It's way cheaper than the actual pumping bras, you can get whichever one is more comfortable, and when the dog eats it (argh, argh), you can just go buy another one. The most important thing to remember – whatever you do is fine. Your baby is amazing and awesome and will love you no matter what, so don't stress out too much about whether your breastfeeding is happening like it's "supposed" to.
Angela Dec 22 at 2:31 pm Reply
Olivia: I get that, I really do. And obviously proceed with caution blah blah blah. But seriously, even in the very unlikely event that milk got into the pump itself (and seriously, I do not see how that is physically possible with the pump I had, where the tubing was connected to a chamber on the horn physically separated from both the horn and the collection bottle, and I would have seen any milk that got into the tubing LONG before it got anywhere near the actual pump), I don't see any way it could come BACK and come in contact with you or your pumped milk. The suction is going the wrong way, you know?
Obviously, research carefully, decide what risks you're will to assume, I am not a doctor, etc etc. I personally was comfortable with just replacing the horns and tubing, and I was more than happy to spend $50 on a perfectly good pump rather than $200.
Olivia Dec 22 at 3:10 pm Reply
Angela, you just desribed a "closed system" pump, and yeah, I'm comfortable with those being shared. I've just recently lent mine out, acutally.
Ms. K Dec 22 at 4:46 pm Reply
I just wanted to emphasize that lots of women have a pretty easy time nursing their babies, and that it gets easier the longer you do it (the first 6-12 weeks might be really tough, but if you stick it out, it gets really easy. And it makes life easy. Whenever your baby needs to eat when you are together…just pop 'em on the tit. Yep.
It also gets easier, at least supply-wise, the more children you have. Because your breasts actually grow more ducts, so to speak. So Amalah had troubles her first pregnancy, but that already gave her boobs some extra ductwork…so when she had her second kid and worked at supply, it came. Voraciously!
Even women who had breast-reduction surgery can often successfully nurse their children. A friend of mine gradually built up supply over many months, always nursing her child at the first sign of hunger, then supplementing.

My insurance paid for my Pump n Style–I got a vague "latch problems" Rx from the midwife on call the day we went home. When we'd called to ask about getting pump covered when I was pregnant we got a flat No, but magically it was once I had the baby. So try that! They delivered it to our house that day.
Rachael Dec 22 at 6:21 pm Reply
I haven't read all the comments yet, so sorry if this has already been stated, but do NOT freak out if you can't feel any letdown reflex. I never felt one single, solitary tingle at all, whatsoever, and had a healthy, 90th-percentile-baby and was able to nurse until 9 months (when we both were ready to stop), with the first 6 months exclusive.
I also had chronic oversupply too… so don't stress the let down thing!
My daughter (now 8.5 mos old) has been EBF since the beginning mainly by pumped milk. We had a latch problem from the beginning even the LC's couldn't fix, eventually she got the hang of it and we would nurse occasionally, but what worked for us was pumping and feeding in a bottle. I agree w/Amalah to get your LC ahead of time etc and don't buy the pump until your supply is established, I don't like the pump i got for work, i don't feel as empty, even though i pump the same amount
Here are other tips that I found worked
1. try your best, but sometimes even if you have tried everything, breast feeding doesn't work out. I had multiple friends who had serious problems and so i went into the whole thing thinking if it doesn't work it's not the end of the world and I was elated when it did, but I didn't beat myself up when we supplemented with formula the first few days. So I feel like by going into it with that mentality it made it seem less frustrating!
2. It's not easy! Movies and other moms make it look easy, but it's not and it takes time and work so again don't beat yourself up! Just take it one feeding at a time. Anyone who tells you it's easy/natural probably is blocking the first few weeks from their memories!
3. I found that while pumping (I still am renting the hospital grade pump – 8 mos later) that massaging helps.
4. I started pumping in the hospital, don't be afraid to ask to get started there
Good luck!

PLEASE find a LC before you give birth! I didnt ( I also went into labor 7 weeks early, whatever) and thought that I would just consult with whomever was on staff at the hospital. I still wish that I had not been shocked beyond the ability to speak and told her to remove her hands from my body and my child and send her supervisor in. I never saw another LC because of that and in retrospect I really regret it. I was a first time mom with nobody to tell me how things were suppose to go.
Jess Dec 22 at 11:07 pm Reply
OMG – I thought I was the only one who experienced "phantom letdown". I get that feeling whenever I gush to one of my pregnant friends how much I loved being pregnant and then I remember my (now 13 month old) daughter's head smelled, and how tiny her little hands were…here we go again.
If nothing, an LC will tell you that you are a wonderful mom and how lucky your baby is to have you, and that is the most wonderful, happy-tear inducing thing someone can tell you.
qwyneth Dec 22 at 11:08 pm Reply
My baby had suck problems, and even though I eventually got the hang of latching him he never got the hang of extracting milk from my boob. So, I pumped and supplemented for about six months, at which point he decided that he would no longer sit still for me to pump. My supply rapidly dwindled after I cut out the daytime pump sessions, so I tossed in the towel.
As for the bra thing: you can buy the hands free bras or cut slits in a sports bra, but the REALLY awesome thing to do is buy a super cheap NURSING bra and cut slits for the flanges. It's cheaper than the handsfree bra, you'll get a better fit than with a handsfree bra, and you can nurse and pump handsfree at the same time! Win-win-win!
Whichever pumping bra you choose, be careful to get a good fit. I'm pretty sure my first handsfree bra gave me mastitis. It was tight, as I thought it should be, and it turned out that part of one of my breasts was smushed in such a way that it wasn't emptying. Section of breast not emptying + torn up nipples = mastitis!
Speaking of torn up nipples, use bacitracin on your nipples from the start to ward off mastitis. It was Horrible.
Good luck, and congratulations!
If you decide to get a used pump, see if you can find a LC who can check the suction for you. They eventually stop working so well. and it isn't always easy to tell.
You will get more milk in a warm room, so try not to pump where it's cold. I found I got more milk if I read while pumping. Just staring at the bottles made me think about it too much.
Chaya Dec 23 at 12:03 pm Reply
I hope nobody takes this the wrong way, and I know it doesn't address the actual question. But, for another data point. Just for context, I nursed my first three kids for close to 18 months each. I am currently (literally even!) nursing my 4th, who is 2.5 months. I have had supply issues of some kind with all, and needed to supplement with 3 out of 4 with formula. And, kid 4 has been the hardest in terms of this, and getting him fed is still a struggle, and he still gets formula daily. My pediatrician has an AMAZING lactation center, with a full time pediatrician just for bf issues, who works with their own lc. With their support, I probably could have upped my supply by tons of pumping\sns etc. i worked as hard as I could for some time, but see above, 4th kid! i hate hate hated pumping, it means for me that either my baby is crying, i am using the miniscule amount of kid-free time that i have on pumping, or i have to throw the whole mess of kids and house on my husband whenever he walks in the door, which i am not willing to do. The ped i was working with was amazing about being realistic as to what i can do, and didn't push me\make me feel like a failure. currently, i don't pump, the baby gets a bottle of formula after nursing a few times a day and that 's that. formula isn't poison. (Assuming no allergy issues!) breastmilk is a whole lot better, and pumping is important if one is working for supply reasons, I know all of that. but I don't want somebody reading this thread and feeling horribly guilty for NOT pumping.
At first, it's usually pretty difficult to get much milk from a pump (I got less than an ounce each of my first few times after about 30 minutes). I found that drinking tea (usually Mother's Milk tea) and flipping through pictures of my son while sitting somewhere comfortable helped a LOT, as well as consciously taking deep breaths and relaxing my shoulders. I managed to wedge the flanges between the sides and flaps of my nursing tanks/bras for hands-free pumping without cutting any fabric. Does that make sense? And flange size is very important! If it's uncomfortable or you're turning purple, buy a different size.
I went to a weekly breastfeeding support group led by an IBCLC until my son was probably 6 months old, and it was probably the smartest thing I did. I didn't have any particular challenges with breastfeeding (and I'm still nursing my 15 month old), but I was in school and working almost from day one, and the support was invaluable.
Good luck!
@Rachael – I have never felt it either! I nursed my 1st for a year and I just had my 2nd, and I'm not feeling a "letdown tingle" with her either.
A pump can be good to have on hand for engorgement as well – I needed one a few weeks ago for my huge boobs-tiny baby problem, and it worked so well at just emptying me enough that she could latch.
Julie Dec 26 at 12:36 pm Reply
On the flip side, if you're lucky enough to have a high supply, sometimes pumping an ounce or two before feeding the baby can help. For the first feeding of the morning, I tended to have too much supply, so I'd pump an ounce or so to keep the poor kid from choking on the first gushers. That let me build up a small reserve so that I could have a bottle to leave with someone if I was going out for a few hours, to get him used to taking a bottle before day care. Then once he was at day care, I would just pump at the times of day when I would normally be able to feed him, and be able to get enough to keep up with him, with an occasional supplemental pumping at home at nights or weekends to get a bit ahead if I started loosing my buffer zone.

I currently pump at work and I am lucky if I get enough to cover what she eats at daycare. The mother's milk tea helps, but I find the taste disgusting. I have finally just decided that I will do what I can and not beat myself up over it. I also (gasp) use a nipple shield when I feed the baby. It was the only way to get her to latch at the hospital and I just have not gone through the trauma of weaning her off of it. Oh! I get far less milk on Mondays than the rest of the week. How is that for random (non-helpful) information? Good luck, it is hard but worth it.
Andrea Dec 28 at 11:28 am Reply
I've nursed three children, with three COMPLETELY different experiences, the third one being the most difficult. (You'd think experience helps, but, yeah, not so much.) A good, like-minded LC is super-important. A well-established supply in crucial. I agree with most everything above. But I would like to add something I wish I knew then, especially the third time. Do not be hard on yourself. If it works out, yay! If it doesn't, it will still be okay. Your baby will still be smart and healthy and loved. Breastfeeding is a wonderful way to care for your child, and many times it works as nature designed it to. But sometimes, it doesn't. And it's not your fault if it doesn't.

Tips for those who don't have time for let down: 1) drink about 16 oz of water, milk, or juice 15 min before you pump, 2) get a nice, quiet isolated room to pump in, 3) set up your supplies and get comfortable and 4) massage the tip to simulate the tongue pushing of the infant for about 30-16 seconds then 5) pump, and if necessary, massage breasts for faster extraction. Found that it worked for me and two of my gfs, so thought I'd pass the info along.

I also fervently encourage you to find a good lactation consultant, and to keep looking for one until you find the right one. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it ain't always easy and nothing will make you feel more like a personal failure as a new mother like bfing struggles. I speak of personal experience here – though now I have a happy, healthy toddler who weaned at 16 months.
As for pumping, doing it while you're nursing the other side is the best way to get the most milk in the least amount of time. If I used my medela PIS it distracted my baby, so I had a little hand pump that I would use. Incidentally, keep an extra hand pump in your car or your office. In your sleep deprivation you will forget your pump at home – a hand pump is a life saver. Also, the book the Milk Memos is a wonderful resource for working and pumping Mommas.

I think you would be amazed at the difference it would make with a supportive employer. I did not have a supportive employer with my first child and did with my second and what a difference it made. my goal with #2 was to make it longer than I did with #1. well I about doubled. in fact we went past his first birthday. #2 has never had formula. I have absolutely nothing against formula; #1 grew just fine, and is thriving to this day and would not have has there not been formula, but it was just a personal goal. I actually has to wean #2 off of it finally. he did it quite a bit on his own but I think it got to be a comfort thing more than a need for nutrition. Good luck all ladies and keep up the good work. Keep Calm and Feed On. Ha.

Comments On Sep 15, 2015:Purchased front and rear Anakee 3s about a month or so ago for 2008 BMW R1200Gs with 13K miles on it. Put about 1,000 miles or so on the tires at factory recommended pressures. Great cornering stability, wet surface traction, etc., but they are the NOISIEST tires I have ever owned or ridden on! 40-45mph and 60-65mph ranges are worst for incredible howling - - sounds like a wheel bearing is going or your tranny is on its last leg. Actually hurts my ears at times. In spite of their strengths in handling, etc., these tires are poorly designed for reasonably quiet road travel - - which is what most R1200GS owners are primarily using their bikes for. Michelin should have pulled these from the market a long time ago. And shame on BMW for deciding to use them as standard equipment on R1200GS models of recent manufacture. Who at Michelin or BMW actually TESTS any of these products? Would never buy this product again, because UNREASONABLY LOUD ROAD NOISE trumps just about everything in my book . . . especially with a bike that sports a heritage of quiet operation.

Comments On May 18, 2015:I have used Michelin tires for the entire 151,000 miles since I bought the bike new in 2003. First set was T-66's and the rest were Anakee, Anakee2 and Anakee3. Latest Anakee (the 3) has about the same traction characteristics as the previous Anakee and Anakee2, with the dirt performance being better. Mud and sand still the same. I bought the pair (front and rear) and mounted them at the same time, and ran the same tire pressure as the previous tires since 90+% of the riding is 2-up. There was less scalloping wear in the Anakee3, but instead of getting the 12,000+ miles that I have been getting on the previous tires, this one was down to the wear bands at 9500 miles. I replaced the front and it now has 4000+ miles and just recently had to change the rear tire which got nearly 13,000 miles. I will probably have to replace the front again before the rear wears out.

Comments On Jun 05, 2014:This set of Anakee's replaced a set of Anakee II's that finally wore out. The grip is great on road and wet conditions and sufficient for dirt roads and trails. Mileage has been good so far with about 4000 mile on the set with minimal wear. I ride two up and the tires provide a good ride and grip in the corners
Good choice for the V Strom and performs sufficiently off road within the limits of the motorcycle. Will be installing a second set for an upcoming Baja trip.

Comments On Oct 28, 2013:I picked this tire based on reviews I'd seen for my 2011 KTM 990 Adv. So far just did a 50mile street scrub on the fresh tire. Handles well and is smooth.
I down rated the tire due install difficulty. I only got the front and usually a 21" front is pretty easy. I took is to a an installer with powered tire changing stand. The last part of the 2nd bead was so tight that the tool keep jumping off tire. We made several attemps re-lubing as we went.
Finally finished last part using long tire irons. I was afraid of tearing the bead. Not done yet...next challange was getting bead to pop into place. Even at the extreme pressure of 90psi it would not budge. Finally left wheel/tire in the sun for 2hrs, re-lubed and stretched the bead with irons and it finally went into place.

Comments On Jul 05, 2013:Had the anakee 2. Had 8000 miles and started to scallop. Worked good on graded dirt roads and just about every where else. Hope the anakee 3 perform just as well and last a bit longer.

So a new single rail power supply to power a video card from this list is my advice.
-> http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html
Hello everybody,
I play alot of games that require a "good" graphics card and my computer isn't running the games fast and i have to turn the game's video settings to "ultra low" or "very low" in order to get a decent framerate.
Examples of games that i play are:
- DayZ (Arma II Mod)
- Warframe
- War Thunder
- (and soon) Battlefield 4 when it comes out
I'm new to most of this stuff so simplified answers will be the best answers
I have an i7 processor

The High Cost of BirthdaysStefanie Wilder Taylor
All three of my kids celebrate birthdays in November. For the last three years of the twins life, they weren't really aware of their birthday so, hey, far be it for me to bring it up. But, they turned four this year – the same age I officially marked Elby's big day with a real party (not just an adult get-together with a few cupcakes and Dora's Fiesta sign thrown up on one lone wall for the photo ops), a party at a place called The Ballet Barre with preschool friends, goodie bags and pizza plus a migraine for every adult who lasted the full two hours. Elby absolutely loved it.
Here's the problem though: real birthday parties are stupid, crazy, expensive and might I add seemingly unnecessary yet I needed to throw two of them.
Around here people are willing to throw around a lot of coin to celebrate the big day. One of Elby's best friends had a "spa party" which included mani/pedis, facials, make up and hair, a fashion show and they also made their own glitter lotion and lip gloss. What kind of busy-ass days are six-year-olds having that they need this level of relaxation? These kids were getting more pampered than the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
What wasn't included for the mom was food for the kids and adults, birthday cake and extra kids. Luckily she won her party package at a school auction and didn't have to pay nearly full price. But that's the least of what people in my neighborhood are up to.
Since I hadn't won any parties lately and since I had to throw two of them, my thinking was to go against the norm. Screw these people and their f-ing Fairy Hunts, backyard petting zoos and 12-foot- balloon structures of Ariel. And screw the "Snow White" that wanted to charge two hundred and fifty bucks for 90 minutes of face painting and supervising freeze dance to a Justin Bieber CD that wasn't even going to bring.
I decided that I'd do it myself —old skool! Two parties in the backyard with a bounce house, piñatas and a little Pin-the-Tail. BAM. We'd order pizza, get a couple of cakes from Ralphs and I could certainly manage to paint a few nails and run a game of Red Rover. Plus, since it was in my backyard, I could order as many kids as I wanted. I invited the whole preschool class for the twins and for Elby I invited every girl in her class and then some! The kids were into it and I was feeling darned pleased with myself until about four days before the party when I got a look at the weather report and saw that it was calling for thunderstorms on the day of the party.
Damn. Seeing as we live in 1700 square feet and most of that is not living room, we needed an alternative quick. And that's when I called Ballet Barre to see if they had any openings. They did. And two parties and six hundred bucks later (not including cake, pizza, goodie bags, migraine medication, and paper goods) we were done.
But really, it could've been worse. My friend runs the Ballet Barre and we got a break. Most birthdays come with a hefty price tag.
Fairies and Dragons 1 of 7At $450 for 10 kids to put on some wings and drink pink lemonade it's a bit steep but kids love this place. I guess boys can dress like dragons but really? Do they want to?
Diva Girlz and Adventure Boyz 2 of 7That really is the name of the place that did the spa party. I have to admit it was truly awesome! But 10 girlz will cost you $520 bucks and that doesn't include food, cake or a massage for you after you pay the bill.
Lollipop Dreams 3 of 7There is no Z at the end of dreams but this place makes up for it in zeros at the end of the prices. Nine kids will run you over six hundee and that only includes finger sandwiches for the kids and some fruit drink to go along with the glitter hair do and proper tea party etiquette. At this party as well as most (all) of them you bring your own cake.
Bowling 4 of 7Prices may vary on this endeavor but at one popular spot here in Los Angeles it will cost you $30 bucks a kid for them to get their bowl on. Again, unless your kid plans to stick to the 1-2 slices of pizza maximum, you may want to bring more food. Also, it's bowling. How are kids supposed to spend an hour and a half entertained by just that?
Chuck E. Cheese 5 of 7I will not ever hate on The Cheese. This place actually seems fun to have a party if you can handle that the place always smells vaguely like a high school locker room and it just seems like a hotbed of ADHD diagnoses. A party here will run you about 400 for about 10 kids. But hey, they get forty tokens (which will last them four minutes so plan to buy more).
Enchanted Fairy Tea Party 6 of 7This is a party company that comes to your house and sets up a tea party. All for the low low price of about six hundred dollars for ten guests. That doesn't include food for adults or cake but it does include a starfish hunt and a mermaid pledge so there's that. For an additional five hundred you can also get a tent, a mermaid photo for each guest and a self serve food bar for eight adults. Just the facts.
Specialty Cake 7 of 7You don't want to have a special special day without a special special cake do you? There is no shortage of bakeries that will make you a personalized cake. But for this one it will cost you over 250 bones. I need a job!

Nelson Cultural Center: A LEED Gold Addition to the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On December 10, 2012 @ 5:22 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,Gallery,Green Building,Green Roof | No Comments
The American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis underwent a major expansion this summer with the addition of the Nelson Cultural Center. Designed by locally-headquartered firm HGA, the new extension incorporates contemporary design, traditional Swedish aesthetics and a number of sustainable strategies. The Nelson Cultural Center is anticipating LEED Gold certification due to its sustainable building strategies, which include geothermal heating and cooling, a green roof and much more.
The American Swedish Institute [2] has long been a destination and gathering place for Swedish Americans in Minneapolis' culturally diverse Phillips West Neighborhood – and now it has even more to boast about. Completed in the summer of 2012, the new Nelson Cultural Center [3] is a 34,000 sq ft addition that provides space for education and cultural facilities for contemporary exhibitions, administrative offices, collections care, and expanded programs. The project was designed by HGA, who also renovated the historic Turnblad Mansion in which the main exhibition spaces for the institute reside. HGA [2]'s design is both contemporary and historic. It utilizes natural materials like stone, wood and glass, provide an open and welcoming layout, and it incorporates handcrafted detailing.
Sustainability was an important aspect of the design, and the institute anticipates LEED Gold certification for its efforts – which would make it the first museum in Minnesota with such accolades. Well connected through public transportation and a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, the center is easily accessed by the public. An underground system of 90 geothermal [4] wells, installed beneath the a large landscaped courtyard, provides the buildings with energy-efficient heating and cooling. Natural ventilation, daylighting, white roofs, a high-performance envelope and other efficient equipment help reduce the building's energy use by 30%. A green roof planted with sedum stores rainfall for plant irrigation. In addition, native, low-water plantings, an efficient irrigation system and low-flow fixtures reduce potable water use. Overall, the building's sustainable design is coupled with a rich design history to provide a welcoming space to celebrate Swedish Americans. We bet the museum's gift shop is amazing.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Chad Pinder hit two home runs -- including a sixth-inning grand slam -- and drove in six runs to help Virginia Tech beat Virginia 10-1 on Wednesday in pool play of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Pinder and Tyler Horan each had three hits for the sixth-seeded Hokies (36-19), who had a six-run second inning against the third-seeded Cavaliers (45-10). Pinder hit a two-run shot in the second, then blew the game open with a blast over the left-field wall in the sixth.
Chad Morgan and Brendon Hayden added consecutive RBI doubles in the second for Virginia Tech, while Joe Mantiply (6-0) earned the win by allowing one run in seven innings.
Virginia starter Brandon Waddell (5-2) allowed six runs and 10 hits in four innings.
Virginia will face seventh-seeded Georgia Tech on Thursday in Pool B, while Virginia Tech will face No. 2 seed Florida State.

All-American Muslim Receives Anti-American Backlash
When All-American Muslim — TLC's reality show following Muslim families as they go about their daily lives in Dearborn, Michigan — launched, we celebrated the show as an important example of how to put into practice research about combating stereotypes.
Namely, the research found that the "introduction of positive images of 'out-groups' does indeed lower levels of fear of the other" and helps "re-hardwire" the brain away from negative stereotypes.
All-American Muslim, which shows Muslim families experiencing the same types of challenges and successes as all families, has been doing just that — helping to present a new narrative about American Muslims that can counter the harmful one propagated by anti-Islam extremists over the last few years.
Unsurprisingly, these extremists are decrying the show for only featuring peaceful, non-terrorist characters because it exposes their fringe conspiracy theories for what they really are. One group, the Florida Family Association, has even gone so far as to pressure the show's advertisers to pull their support.
In a sign of just how weak-kneed corporations can be in response to even a hint of right-wing backlash, the FFA (which appears to be just one activist with a few thousand email addresses) claims to have succeeded in provoking over 60 companies to pull their ads — most prominently the hardware giant Lowe's.
Now finding deserved backlash against that decision, Lowe's released a statement attempting to explain that they only pulled the ads after the show became "a lightning rod for people to voice complaints from a variety of perspectives."
To put it nicely, that's a load of baloney. Imagine if a white supremacist group had run the same campaign targeting advertisers of The Cosby Show, complaining that it dangerously misled the public because it didn't feature any black drug dealers or gang members. Would any company in its right mind think it acceptable to cave to racist pressure while defending its "strong commitment to diversity and inclusion"? Of course not.
As Alyssa Rosenberg points out:
This isn't a defense of deeply-held values. This is a dodge of having any deeply-held or defensible values at all. I would really love to know which of these perspectives advocated by All-American Muslim are so radioactive and controversial that a company can't be associated with them.
In some ways, there's real opportunity in this moment. First, the controversy will likely inspire more people to watch the show and judge for themselves. But more importantly, it's time we have a real conversation in this country about what's been happening with anti-Muslim rhetoric over the last few years.
So far, the extremists have managed to launder their radicalism through "mainstream" spokespeople (see King, Peter), legislation that dog-whistles to their base while hiding the conspiracy theories behind it (state bans on "foreign law"), and public "controversies" that advance their frames and assumptions (the "Ground Zero Mosque").
Starting with images of the vivid truth about Muslim-American families is the perfect place for voices of respect and sanity to start fighting back. The Florida Family Association is right about one thing, you're either with them or against them. It's time for American corporate, political and social leaders to make their choice.

January is Learn a Snowsport Month
by Krista Parry on January 8, 2013
I was practically born on skis. My father drove the high school ski bus to Bridger Bowl every Saturday and in return he received free lift tickets (and bus rides) for his family. I think I started riding the bus before I was three. It was how we spent our weekends. I now understand how fortunate I was to learn to ski at such a young age. But it doesn't matter how old you are. You are never too old to learn to ski/snowboard.
January is Learn a Snowsport month and resorts all around the country are offering great deals for you to get out and learn to ski/snowboard or improve your skills. Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month is a national initiative that began in 2008 and has grown to 33 states and over 300 resorts participating. The program strives to make learning skiing and snowboarding easy, accessible and affordable for children and adults. Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month has challenged everyone to get out and exercise this year with the theme "Humans Were Never Meant to Hibernate." I know too many people who live within 30 minutes of some of the world's best resorts who have never learned to ski/snowboard and hate the snow. I always tell them to learn to ski/snowboard. It will make them excited for the snow!
I think one of the best Learn a Snowsports program is Park City Mountain Resort's StartNOW program (I might be a bit biased). It provides Utah residents who have never skied or snowboarded before with five days of lift tickets, lessons and equipment rentals - all for $40 a day! (Participants must pre-register for all five days.) This is the fourth season for StartNOW and I've seen people in their 70s learn to ski.
If you know someone who has always wanted to learn to ski/snowboard or even just try something new tell them to check out what resorts near them are offering for Learn a Snowsport month. Now is the time to get out and enjoy the snow! You're never too old to ride the ski bus.
See you on the slopes!

text: I added a map to the 'Finished Maps' section but then it did not show up when I clicked on my signature link 'Finished Maps' so I was wondering how long does it take for this to update? Is it a nightly thing or something? It's not a huge deal because everything else I've posted seems to be on there. Which leads me to suspect there is just a lag on the server db or something.

Lebanon's pro-West March 14 bloc earned a victory in the country's parliamentary elections this weekend, gaining 71 seats versus 57 obtained by the Hezbollah-led March 8 coalition. The elections are a major defeat for Iran and Syria, who support Hezbollah's March 8 bloc.
Hezbollah warned of a crisis if the organization is forced to disarm, and Syrian newspapers aired allegations of vote-buying. On the other side, Saad al-Hariri, leader of the March 14 alliance and son of assassinated prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri, lauded Lebanon for choosing democracy and freedom, stating that "the only winner is democracy and the biggest winner is Lebanon." President Barack Obama congratulated the Lebanese for their "courage" and "commitment to democracy."
Robert Satloff of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy attributes the outcome, in part, to Washington's use of "negative incentives" with Lebanon. Indeed, Vice President Joseph Biden reminded voters days before the election that the outcome would determine the extent of U.S. financial aid. Satloff concludes that "sticks" work in the region. He notes, by contrast, the marked lack of sticks (negative repercussions for dangerous policies) in Obama's Cairo speech last week.
