Gardner back to catalyst form on homestand
Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner were a dynamic 1-2 punch at the top of the batting order for the Yankees the first month of the season. But since Ellsbury went on the 15-day disabled list May 20 because of a right knee strain, Gardner seemed lost without his partner.
Going into this homestand, Gardner was in a 94 at-bat stretch in which he hit .223 with four doubles, one triple, two home runs and 12 RBI while watching his season batting average slide from .291 to .262. He has turned it around the past three nights at Yankee Stadium, however, climaxed by a 4-for-5, three-RBI performance Friday night that has pushed his average back up to .277. And not surprisingly, the Yankees won all three games with Gardner back in catalyst mode.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi was at a loss before the game to explain the club's seesaw season during which they have had seemingly equal stretches of good and bad play. One thing the skipper did say that what the Yankees do when things are going good is "not giving extra outs and hitting home runs."
They adhered to that axiom in the 7-2 victory over the Tigers. Three home runs, including Alex Rodriguez's 3,000th career hit, against former American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander powered the Yankees to their third straight victory and kept the Detroit righthander winless at Yankee Stadium in four career regular-season decisions. As for not giving extra outs, well, they came close to that but were able to rectify their lone error with a snappy play at the plate to defuse a potentially productive sixth inning for the Tigers.
The Yankees had just taken a 4-2 lead on a two-run home run by Gardner (No. 7) in the bottom of the fifth. The Yanks' two prior homers were solo shots by Rodriguez (No. 13, career No. 667) in the first and Didi Gregorius (No. 3) in the second. In only his second start of the season after coming back from a right triceps injury, Verlander was not of Cy Young vintage.
Ian Kinsler started the sixth against Adam Warren (5-4), who had yet another strong night as a starter (8 IP, 7 H, 2R-ER, 0 BB, 7 K), with an infield single. Miguel Cabrera, who had struck out in his first two at-bats against Warren, lined a single to right field, sending Kinsler to third.
Yankees third baseman Chase Headley failed to handle right fielder Carlos Beltran's relay for an error, but he atoned for that immediately when he retrieved the ball behind the bag and threw home to nail Kinsler at the plate on a fine tag by catcher John Ryan Murphy. Cabrera took second on the play but died there as Victor Martinez fouled out to Headley and Yoenis Cespedes grounded out.
The Yankees then pulled away with two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth. Gardner was a significant part of both rallies. He got the seventh inning started by bunting for a single with one out and eventually scored on a wild pitch. In the eighth, Gardner's two-out single to left scored Chris Young, who had doubled.
Young entered the game as a defensive replacement in center field for rookie Mason Williams, who jammed his right shoulder sliding back into first base on a pickoff attempt by Verlander in the fifth inning. Williams was examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad, but no further tests were ordered.
Yankees provide no support for Hughes
Finding the silver lining some days is virtually impossible. Thursday was one of those days for the Yankees. The 2-0 loss to the Rangers at least went by quickly – 2 hours, 24 minutes – well ahead of the severe thunderstorm activity that was forecast.
There was little thunder and lightning in the Yankees' offense as they were limited to two hits, both singles, and two walks by Derek Holland, who entered the start with a career mark against the Yankees of 0-5 with an 8.85 ERA. The lefthander mixed a hard fastball with a tantalizing slider to win for the first time in five starts since May 31 with a complete-game shutout, the first of each for him this year.
"He got ahead of hitters with his fastball and was able to put them away a lot of times with his slider," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Yet as dominant as Holland was, the Yankees were never really out of the game, and that was because of Phil Hughes, who did much to keep a hold on his spot in the rotation. Hughes clearly was the silver lining in this one. The only real mistake he made was a 1-1 changeup to Jurickson Profar, a left-handed hitting third baseman who crushed it to lead off the fifth inning with a home run to right field.
The other run off Hughes came in a strange third inning. David Murphy led off with a single. Murphy tried to steal second base on a pitch that Profar took for ball four. When Murphy came off the bag to brush off his uniform, shortstop Jayson Nix alertly tagged him. Murphy was called out. Other players should have taken notice of Nix's move. Hey, you never know.
Engel Beltre, a rookie getting a start in center field, singled to right field, moving Profar to third base from where he scored on a sacrifice fly by Ian Kinsler. Beltre, no relation to Adrian Beltre, Texas' regular third baseman who served as the designate hitter, was born in the Dominican Republic but grew up in the Bronx, so it was somehow fitting that he got his first major-league hit at Yankee Stadium. Before this series, Engel Beltre's last appearance at the Stadium was in a PSAL Championship game for James Monroe High.
Hughes had been pushed back two days in the rotation and said it worked to his benefit. "It gave me a chance to step back and work on things I needed to do to move in the right direction," he said. "I felt I had a better plan."
The righthander threw 106 pitches over eight innings. In addition to the walk, he also hit a batter and struck out five. The bottom of the order hurt Hughes, not the top or middle. The 1-through-6 hitters for Texas were 2-for-20 (.100) off Hughes, whose overall record fell to 3-7, including 1-5 at the Stadium with a 5.86 ERA.
As good as Hughes was, the piddling offense was the game's true story for the Yankees. They got a leadoff single in the first inning from Ichiro Suzuki and a two-out single from Austin Romine in the third. That and two leadoff walks was it. Holland retired 17 of the last 18 batters he faced. Vernon Wells, getting a rare recent start in right field, batted cleanup and struck out three times, all on sliders.
It was the seventh time this season that the Yankees have been shut out. The blanking came the day after the first game this year that the Yankees did not win when they scored at least five runs.
"We're struggling right now," Girardi said. "I think we will get better, but time will tell."
Phelps gets his men — on the bases
Pitchers with the best pickoff moves tend to be left-handed. Think Andy Pettitte or Hall of Famer Steve Carlton. Since the lefthander faces first base when in the stretch, he has a better view of what type of lead a runner is taking.
David Phelps, who started Monday night's game for the Yankees against the Rangers, is a right-handed pitcher, but his determination to keep base runners close was the equal of Pettitte in the early going. Phelps got himself out of trouble spots in the second and third innings by picking runners off base.
Fans sometimes get on a pitcher if he throws over to first base too often. Such behavior can get on the nerves of managers and pitching coaches as well. They prefer the pitcher concentrate on the batter. But what manager or pitching coach is not happy when that determination results in an out?
Phelps concentrated so much on Elvis Andrus at first base in the first inning that he lost Josh Hamilton to a base on balls. A two-out single by Nelson Cruz created the first run of the game. In the second inning, Phelps hit Ian Kinsler with a pitch. Again, peering off at first base Phelps nailed Kinsler trying to slide back into the bag.
In the third with Andrus and Adrian Beltre on first and second, respectively, with one out after singles, Phelps seemed to have eyes in the back of his head as he detected Andrus wandering too far off second base. Robinson Cano, playing near the bag with the right-handed Cruz at bat, was in perfect position to field Phelps' pickoff throw that trapped Andrus and gutted the rally.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he hoped to get five innings or 80 pitches from Phelps, whichever came first. Actually, Phelps gave his skipper the numbers simultaneously, pretty much. Phelps threw 78 pitches over five innings before Derek Lowe was called on to make his Yankees debut.
Cano takes over AL All-Star vote lead at 2B
Yankees fans came to the aid of Robinson Cano big-time last week by pushing him past the Rangers' Ian Kinsler and into first place at second base in American League balloting for the All-Star Game July 10 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
With four days remaining in the balloting (voting ends at 11:59 p.m. Thursday), Cano with 3,559,290 votes has a 97,000-plus vote lead over Kinsler in hopes of joining his shortstop partner, Derek Jeter, in the AL starting lineup. Jeter maintained a large lead over the Rangers' Elvis Andrus at shortstop with 4,407,982 votes, a total topped only by Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton, who is the overall leading vote getter with 7,310,824.
Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson is second among AL outfielders with 3,812,339 votes with the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista running third. The Rangers' Nelson Cruz moved ahead of the Orioles' Adam Jones for fourth place. The Yankees' Nick Swisher remained in the seventh spot while Brett Gardner, who has been on the disabled list since mid-April, dropped to 10th.
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez moved ahead of the Rays' Evan Longoria into third place but still trails the Rangers' Adrian Beltre and the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera. Also in third place at first base is Mark Teixeira while Raul Ibanez dropped to fourth at designated hitter with Russell Martin still in fifth place at catcher.
Major League Baseball's All-Star balloting program last year produced a record-shattering 32.5 million ballots cast. More than 20 million Firestone All-Star ballots have been distributed at the 30 major-league parks – each of which will have 23 dates for balloting – and in approximately 100 minor-league yards. When the in-stadium phase of balloting concludes June 22, fans will have the opportunity to cast their ballots exclusively online at MLB.com until 11:59 p.m. June 28.
Firestone is the exclusive sponsor of the 2012 In-Stadium All-Star Balloting Program. The ballot features an All-Star sweepstakes, in which a winner will be rewarded with a trip for two to All-Star Week, including airfare, hotel accommodations, tickets to the All-Star Game and other MLB All-Star Week events.
Scotts is the sponsor of the retail All-Star Balloting Program that was launched May 4 in select Lowe's stores and Chevrolet dealerships across the country.
All-Star rosters will be unveiled July 1 on TBS. The AL All-Star team will have nine elected starters via the fan balloting program, while the National League squad will have eight fan-elected starters. Pitchers and reserves for both squads – totaling 25 for the NL and 24 for the AL – will be determined through a combination of player ballot choices and selections made by the All-Star managers – AL skipper Ron Washington of the Rangers and retired NL manager Tony La Russa – in conjunction with MLB.
Cano closing in on Kinsler as All-Star starter
Robinson Cano made a big jump the past week in Major League Baseball's All-Star balloting at second base in the American League and now trails the Rangers' Ian Kinsler, who has been atop the voting all season, by only 15,260 votes. Since Cano has been named the AL captain for the Home Run Derby competition, it might be a good idea for him to make the league's squad for the All-Star Game July 10 at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium.
Shortstop Derek Jeter and center fielder Curtis Granderson remain among the leaders for starting berths in the annual game between the leagues. Jeter's total of 3,359,875 is still second only to Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton for the most overall votes. Despite missing most of the past week because of an intestinal virus, Hamilton has polled 5,414,880 votes.
Granderson is second among the outfielders with 2,818,535 votes. Moving into third place in the outfield was the Blue Jays' Juan Bautista. The Rangers' Nelson Cruz, who had been running third in the outfield, dropped into fifth place behind Bautista and the Orioles' Adam Jones. The Yankees' Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner ranked seventh and ninth, respectively, in the outfield.
Yankees fans need to throw some votes to first baseman Mark Teixeira, third baseman Alex Rodriguez, catcher Russell Martin and designated hitter Raul Ibanez to improve their chances for All-Star berths.
Teixeira is third at first base behind the Tigers' Prince Fielder and the White Sox' Paul Konerko; A-Rod is fourth at third base behind the Rangers' Adrian Beltre, the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera and the Rays' Evan Longoria; Martin is fifth at catcher behind the Rangers' Mike Napoli, the Twins' Joe Mauer, the Orioles' Matt Wieters and the White Sox' A.J. Pierzynski; Ibanez is third at DH behind the Red Sox' David Ortiz and the Rangers' Michael Young.

A game worth playing hooky for
Relatives, friends and other admirers of Hiroki Kuroda and Yu Darvish in Japan probably all showed up late for work Wednesday to watch the popular pitchers oppose each other in a major-league game Tuesday night at Rangers Ballpark In Arlington. The game started there just after 7 p.m. Central time, which was at 8 a.m. in their home country.
Only the seventh pairing of Japanese-born pitchers in a major-league game was a major event in the country of their birth as well as a top attraction between two of the top contending teams in the American League. Darvish proved the better of the two for this one night as Texas ended the Yankees' four-game winning streak with a 2-0 victory.
The Rangers drew first blood when Ian Kinsler led off the bottom of the first by driving a 1-1 slider to left for his fifth home run. After two hitless innings, Darvish ran into big trouble in the third when the Yankees loaded the bases with none out on a single by Eric Chavez, a walk to Russell Martin and a beauty of a bunt single by Derek Jeter, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games and is hitting .416.
Darvin showed why the Rangers were willing to shell out more than $100 million to sign the righthander as he struck out Curtis Granderson looking at a 2-2 curve and got Alex Rodriguez to ground into an around-the-horn double play.
Kuroda kept the Yankees in the game, but they could not break through against Darvish. Kuroda hurt himself in the third with a two-out walk of Elvis Andrus and a wild pitch that put him into scoring position at second base from where Josh Hamilton got him home with a single to center. Kuroda held the Rangers to two hits after that before departing with two out in the seventh and down by only two runs.
As Yankees manager Joe Girardi had noted, Darvish has more different types of pitches than a catcher has fingers, and he showed off all of them – fastballs of various speeds, curves, sliders, cutters, splits, changes of pace – the whole toolbox.
Watching from his box seat near the Texas dugout, Rangers president Nolan Ryan, the Hall of Fame pitcher and one of the great workhorses, had to love Darvish's performance, which he applauded when the latest Japanese import came off the field after giving up a one-out single to Nick Swisher in the ninth. Closer Joe Nathan needed only one pitch to end the game as Chavez bounced into a double play.
This one had to remind Ryan of his matchups against Jim Palmer or Catfish Hunter 30-odd years ago when pitching into the ninth was expected of starters. Darvish scattered seven hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts in improving his record to 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA. It was a tough luck loss for Kuroda in a marquee matchup that for a change lived up to its billing.
Swisher a throwback at leadoff
A lot of people seemed surprised to see Nick Swisher at the top of the lineup Wednesday night against the Rangers, even Swisher.
"I have hit everywhere else in the lineup," he said before the game. "I might as well bat first."
As I pointed out in Tuesday's blog, Swisher seemed a good option in the leadoff spot against a left-handed starter because of his .356 batting average and .438 on-base percentage from the left side. Obviously, manager Joe Girardi felt the same way. Brett Gardner will continue to lead off against righthanders while Derek Jeter is on the disabled list.
Swisher may not realize it, but if he had been around the Yankees in the 1950s he would have been a leadoff candidate for Casey Stengel. The Ol' Professor liked to use players with extra-base power at the top of the order. His favorites during those years were Hank Bauer, Bob Cerv, Gene Woodling and Tony Kubek.
In fact, when Roger Maris came to the Yankees in 1960 in a trade from the Kansas City A's that also involved Bauer, Stengel batted Maris leadoff in the first few games. When Maris started hitting balls over fences on a regular basis, Casey eventually moved him into the 3-hole where he went on to the first of two consecutive Most Valuable Player seasons.
Swisher did not lead off the game with a hit, but he reached base his next two times up with a double and a walk.
Jeter's replacement at shortstop, Eduardo Nunez, homered in the fourth inning. It was Nunez's second homer of the season. He now has as many long balls in 62 at-bats as Jeter had in 262.
The Captain will not accompany the Yankees on their trip to Chicago and Cincinnati for inter-league series against the Cubs and Reds. Jeter will go to Tampa for rehabilitation on his right calf strain. His stint on the DL means Jeter won't be able to add to his inter-league record for hits of 362. DJ is not in danger of being passed. He is 52 hits ahead of the second place guy, who just happens to be teammate Alex Rodriguez.
A-Rod showed off some fine baserunning in the fifth inning as the Yankees took a 5-4 lead. On first base after a one-out walk, Rodriguez avoided being tagged by second baseman Ian Kinsler on Robinson Cano's groundout and was able to get to second base. That made it possible for him to score on a single to left by Andruw Jones. Josh Hamilton made a strong throw to the plate, but A-Rod beat it with a good slide.
The run was the 1,799th of Rodriguez's career. It tied him with Hall of Famer Ted Williams for 16th place on the all-time list.
Sustained rally a promising sign
The Yankees' comeback from a 5-0 deficit with four runs in the third inning to make a game of it was an encouraging sign since they did not have a home run to help them along the way until Nick Swisher brought them all the way back with his solo shot in the fifth off Brett Tomko.
The Yankees won Friday night with not much offense other than Curtis Granderson's two home runs, so the homerless, third-inning rally was good to see. It looked for a while as if the Rangers would run and hide after battering Bartolo Colon for two innings, but the Yankees proved to have their pitcher's back with the four-run rally in the third that came about after two were out.
Derek Jeter restarted the inning with a double off the left field wall, his first extra-base hit in 44 at-bats since April 24 at Baltimore. The Yankees got help from Rangers starter Derek Holland, who walked four batters in the inning, and a big lift from center fielder Julio Borbon, who made a very questionable decision to dive for a liner by Robinson Cano that fell free and shot past him for a bases-clearing triple.
Mark Teixeira also had an RBI hit earlier in the inning on a bloop single to center as suddenly the Yanks found themselves in a one-run game. Bolstered by his teammates' support, Colon pitched a scoreless third and fourth but was lifted in the fifth after yielding a pair of one-out singles.
That marked the first time in 19 games since April 15 that a Yankees starter failed to last the required five innings for a winning decision. But Colon was not hung with a losing decision, thanks to the home run by Swisher, who did not play Friday night because of a head cold.
Colon was taken deep twice, by Michael Young and David Murphy (the Rangers aren't much into nicknames), but the bases were empty each time. Colon had location problems and was touched up on a two-run triple by Borbon and a sacrifice fly to the left field warning track by Ian Kinsler. Colon's 4 1/3 innings of work matched Ivan Nova's start of April 15, the last previous tine a Yankees starter didn't make it through the fifth.
Jeter made history once it became an official game in the middle of the fifth. It was the 2,324th game of his career, surpassing Hall of Fame second baseman Charlie Gehringer of the Detroit Tigers for 20th place among players who spent their entire careers with one club.
Jeter took over from Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles the distinction of most games at shortstop for one club with his 2,303rd game at that position. Only three players have played more games at shortstop than Jeter: Omar Vizquel (2,692) and Hall of Famers Luis Aparicio (2,583) and Ozzie Smith (2,511).
Rangers exposed in World Series
I know what you're thinking, Yankees fans. Couldn't the Bombers have given the Giants a better game to this point in the World Series?
There is a tendency to think that way until you consider that the Yankees batted only .201 in the American League Championship Series against a Texas pitching staff that has allowed 20 runs and 22 hits to the Giants in two games. It didn't appear that the Rangers could look worse than in losing, 11-7, in Game 1, but they were even more horrible in the 9-0 debacle in Game 2.
This was actually a pitcher's duel for seven innings, although the Giants' Matt Cain had a decided edge over the Rangers' C.J. Wilson, who was forced out of the game because of a blistered finger one batter into the seventh. There was nothing in the San Francisco eighth that could be called a duel, however. The first two Giants batters struck out, then after a soft single to center by Buster Posey, Halloween came early for Texas.
Derek Holland, who had pitched so brilliantly against the Yankees in the ALCS, came out of the bullpen and threw 11 straight pitches out of the strike zone on the way to loading the bases and forcing in a run. Mark Lowe walked in another run before the Giants swung the bats and got a two-run single from Edgar Renteria and RBI hits from Aaron Rowand (triple) and Andres Torres (double). Seven two-out runs made it 13 of the 20 in the Series for the Giants.
It turned out to be another lopsided game in a World Series to decide a season that was characterized by outstanding pitching. Cain aside, we have seen little of that in the Series. The Giants righthander ran his string of post-season innings without allowing an earned run to 21 1/3 in which he has allowed 13 hits and five walks with 13 strikeouts.
Despite being routed in Game 1, the Rangers walked only one batter (by Cliff Lee yet), but they gave up four free passes in the eighth, which must have given team president Nolan Ryan a feeling of d�j� vu. The all-time strikeout leader is also the career leader in bases on balls by a pitcher.
A Texas offense that hit .306 against the Yankees in the ALCS and had 11 hits in Game 1 of the World Series had three singles and a double in getting shut out Thursday night. The closest the Rangers came to scoring was in the fifth when Ian Kinsler led off with a drive to deep center, but the ball struck the top of the fence like an old Spalding off a New York neighborhood stoop and fell back to the field. Kinsler had to settle for a double and never advanced beyond second base.
Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton, the AL Most Valuable Player favorite, looks like a different player against the Giants than he was against the Yankees. Hamilton was the MVP of the ALCS, batting .350 with four home runs, seven RBI and eight walks, half of them intentional. He worried the Yankees so much that manager Joe Girardi chose to walk Hamilton on purpose three times in one game. The Giants have challenged Hamilton, who is 1-for-8 with one walk (not intentional) in the World Series.
The offensive stars of the Series are the aging left side of the San Francisco infield – Renteria, 34, at shortstop and third baseman Jose Uribe, 30. When the score was only 2-0, they had driven in the runs, Renteria with a home run in the fifth and Uribe with a single in the seventh. Each has homered and combined to bat .357 with eight RBI and six runs scored.
Imagine what Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez make of that?
Yanks send ALCS back to Texas
We have still yet to see in the post-season the CC Sabathia who was a Cy Young Award candidate during the regular season. Despite that, the lefthander is undefeated in three starts and played a major role Wednesday in keeping the American League Championship Series alive for the Yankees.
Just as a late-inning rally by the Yankees in Game 1 took him off the hook in a lackluster outing, Sabathia took the Yankees off a hook in Game 5 that might have ended their season with a serviceable performance that was still good enough to prevent the Rangers from clinching their first invitation to the World Series.
The Yankees' climb in the ALCS remains uphill, but they at least earned a return trip to Texas, which is all they could hope for after having lost three of the first four games in the series. Who would have thought they would look forward to another date with Cliff Lee? That would come in Game 7, another victory away.
Sabathia was far from dominant. The Rangers reached him for 11 hits, but only one – a home run by catcher Matt Treanor in the sixth – did any tangible damage. The other run off him came on an infield out. In many ways, Texas let Sabathia off the hook. The Rangers stranded eight runners – six in scoring position – in his six innings. A pair of double plays served as part of the rescue party for Sabathia.
"He made key pitches when he had to," Rangers manager Ron Washington said of Sabathia. "That's why he's the pitcher that he is and won all the games that he won this year."
"I felt more prepared than I was in Game 1," CC said. "I wanted to keep us in it and make the pitches I needed to."
The bug guy didn't hurt himself with walks (none). He had seven strikeouts, including a big one on Mitch Moreland looking at a slider with runners on second and third with his 112th and last pitch. Sabathia has allowed 22 hits in 16 innings and has a 5.63 ERA in his three post-season starts, but his record is 2-0 and the Yankees 3-0 in those games.
That the Yankees won behind Sabathia will only lend credence to the critics of manager Joe Girardi's decision not to have CC start Game 4 instead of A.J. Burnett. It is too late for all that. One more time: the Yankees needed a fourth starter in the ALCS – who else you got? Whether Burnett should have pitched beyond five innings in Game 4, well, that is another argument and one that does the Yankees no good in rehashing now.
The Game 5 victory had the Yankees looking ahead, not behind. Their bats were noisier with home runs by Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano (four in the ALCS) and Curtis Granderson and doubles by Jorge Posada, Alex Rodriguez and Granderson, pretty good amplification without Mark Teixeira, out for the rest of the series with a strained right hamstring.
Texas lost left fielder Nelson Cruz to a tight hamstring in the fifth, but the injury may not be as serious as that of Teixeira.
The extra-base hits were important for the Yankees because they still were anemic in the clutch. They had two hits in 11 at-bats (.182) with runners in scoring position and are 8-for-51 (.157) in the series in those situations.
The Rangers, who could have closed out the series with a victory, displayed a sloppiness not previously seen in the series. They threw the ball over the lot in the Yankees' three-run third inning. In the seventh, Elvis Andrus, who had three hits and a stolen base, got himself picked off second base by Kerry Wood, who also picked Ian Kinsler off first base in Game 1.
The Yankees' play in the field was flawless.
"There was determination on our part," Girardi said. "We haven't played our best in this series. But I saw the mood during batting practice, and the guys knew what we had to do."
So the Yankees are on their way to Texas, and Yankees fans hope there will still be more games at Yankee Stadium this year. That would mean there would be another World Series in the Bronx.

How can I wean my toddler from breastfeeding?
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and need to stop breastfeeding my toddler, who wakes up twice a night to be fed. I've tried feeding her right before she goes to sleep, not going to her in the night, giving her cows' milk instead of breast milk, and having her father comfort her -- but nothing works. She tries to lift my shirt and nurse. Please help.

I'm still in the process of weaning my 1yr old, and work at a Pediatric office. I have to wean because her father and I are getting married in April. My daughter hated regular milk, but would drink it warm if we are out or at the grandparents house without a fit. She is very happy and well adjusted, and has slept through the night (9pm - 7am) since about 4 months and slept at least 5 hours straight at night before that. My question is why are you nursing your child in the middle of the night. At 9 months of age babies are able to go 12 hours without food. Babies need to develop other soothing mechanisms, I would suggest having your husband pat your babies back or rub her belly to put her back to sleep. She is only waking up because she knows mom will come with milky attatched. She gets extra snuggles. So if dad does it, it's not as bad. She may be fussy for a night or two - this is NOT crying it out - this is where the full nights sleep comes in. Which you need, not only for your health, but your baby growing inside needs it too! She will stop the night ones on her own, because she knows you won't be there. Daytime feedings: I am mixing breast milk with cows milk in her sippy cups during meals, 3/4 bm to 1/4 cm at first then 1/2 and 1/2 and so on. This is working great for me. But I am making sure she still gets lots of cuddle time at the times she usually nurses. I hope this helps.posted 01/05/2004 by evie_emt
u just have to be firm and talk to ur toddler.ur a big boy/girl and mommy is no longer gonna breast feed u.from now on u drink from a sippy cup especially made for u.try a fav cartoon character cup.and stick to what you've said.they will understand. a toddler will pretend they don't understand if they think u don't feel they understand.good luck.posted 08/01/2009 by passion16106

yes, im all for the taking baby to grandmas house. Its how i weaned my daughter and in a week or so when grandma returns from her vacation, i'll be taking my 14 month old over for 3 days. Its the only way, my children go nuts when they dont get the boob, and night is especially horrendous, especially for dad who wakes up at 4 am daily.posted 10/23/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
MICnLor, Sounds like my 28 month old. He just spent a few days with his father away from mommy and came home alot less attached. He ask for nigh nighs, I say no your a big boy now, and he's is ok with it. Maybe you could take your son on a weekend getaway, father/son, and he come back to mommy alot less attached and demanding.posted 09/08/2006 by baby51968
how do you find the answers to the ? are they posted back here?posted 08/28/2006 by rileysmoms
I'm having a debate with myself here. I have a 12 month old daughter who still nurses. Five weeks ago she had a fit while I was nursing her and her teeth cut me open on both breasts. I have been in so much pain- I've gone to my OB three times, and the last time she thought she'd have to give me stitches to get my nipples to heal. I'm still nursing at least 6 times a day, but I have to bite a cloth to keep from screaming, and it's gotten to where I'm terrified to nurse. I wanted to keep going until at least 2, but it's so hard. My baby throws a major tantrum if I make her wait to nurse, and will scream up to an hour if I don't give in. I don't want to wean, but I can't continue this pain for another whole year. I think I might have a chance to heal if she doesn't nurse so often, but I can't seem to cut out any more than the four times I already have. Any ideas for a mommy in pain?posted 03/04/2008 by Mama2Ciara
I've been told by all my Dr's & Midwives I saw to stop breastfeeding my 17 mo daughter. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and the ultrasounds are only showing my sons fetus as 19 weeks. So he's a week behind in size. I'm on day 2 of weaning and its been really hard because I wanted to feed her until she was ready to let it go, and possibly tandem feed with her baby brother when hes born. I LOVE breastfeeding & the way she asks for milk is so hard to say no because she asks so good. She says "Mama nai nai? (milk in chinese)" and gives me a few kisses. I tell her Dr said mommas sick and needs to rest. but that doesnt work as well as telling her that when she drinks milk she hurts her baby brother in my tummy. When I tell her that she goes and tries to distract herself. So far it's been WAY harder for me than it has been for her. I cried more than she has since the weaning process started... good luck to all.posted 01/23/2013 by stupid8d

Elizabeth Wheeler was 21 and "really depressed" about her job as an editorial assistant in a windowless New York office. One day she called in a man to tune the piano in her West Side apartment. "When he took out the action—the mechanism that connects the key with the hammer—I was enchanted," she recalls. "The next day I went out and bought a technical book, a tuning hammer and a fork." She had discovered her calling. Now 24, Wheeler has become a piano technician who tunes, repairs, reconditions and rebuilds pianos six days a week in a Greenwich Village shop. Tuning is $20, and extensive rebuilding can run as high as $500. At first Wheeler was unable to find anyone who was willing to accept her as an apprentice. She finally moved to Berkeley, Calif. and met Benjamin Treuhaft, who had worked for Steinway. "It took me a couple of days to work up the courage to call him," she says. "But he took me tuning with him, and from that afternoon on we were partners." After five months with Treuhaft, she returned to New York and now finds business is improving steadily. "I'm not a master, but I'm good. I don't know everything about pianos, but I'm not afraid of that. The most rewarding thing is to finish the piano and have the customer sit right down and play."

Xavier breathes shakily, in disbelief of all of what had just happened. He..he...hugged Bern...he....kissed her. Xavier kissed Bern. KISSED. BERNKASTEL. VERMILIA. What, what was wrong with him?! He had just showed the most complex emotion of all of them! Xavier hardly even showed the simplest of emotions, let alone affection! He..he must be drugged, or this is a dream. There's no way that his could actually be happening! "......"
His eyes widen when Bernkastel's hand lightly turns his head to face her. Through his hair, he can see Bern's emerald eyes trail from his cheeks, to where his eyes are. She looks...oddly dazed, thoughts appearing to run through her mind. Wh-what was she thinking...? "..." Xavier's breath hitches as his lips are ran across by Bern's thumb.
"So-sorr--" He's cut off. "Xavier... There isn't a need to apologize. Not ever. Especially when it made me realize that even if my life was taken away, I am blessed with people like you. So instead of apologizing to me, apologize to the food for making it run cold." She smiles, and he feels his lips attempt to arch forward. He didn't care what he did at this point, realizing that this, was all too real. Bern's lips hit Xavier's cheek. "...Though the food might be a little less forgiving." Xavier brushes his hair out of his eyes, to get a closer look at Bern's face. Her lips...are still arched upwards. She looks...beautiful. Xavier, on a rare occasion in his life, let's his lips raise. He is smiling at Bernkastel.

'broken' central spar
Posted 17 August 2008 - 07:30 AM
How on earth do you get it to come back out again ?
Helpppppppppppppppppppp !
Posted 17 August 2008 - 07:38 AM
What you could do is drill a small hole in it if it's still accessible, then screw in a small self-tapper and pull on that - should pull the ferrule out with it... maybe.

Posted 17 August 2008 - 08:12 AM
If one was able the slip in like that, then the other is most likely somewhat loose or could be easily worked loose enough to pull it out.
Oh no - how did you manage that??
What you could do is drill a small hole in it if it's still accessible, then screw in a small self-tapper and pull on that - should pull the ferrule out with it... maybe.
Then you could use some type of rod to shove the other one out.
Then you can glue both in place again and go flying.
Good Luck!

I just consistantly tapped the end of the spar untill the ferrule fell out.
When its out araldite it back in place,
but be sure to clean the shoulder after.
Good luck.

Good luck.
Solid, stick something to the ferrule using super glue, then pull it out.
Hollow, from other end slide in a thinner piece of carbon or glass fibre, push it out.
Or the tapping above works to.

If you can get the other ferrule out, then you can use a long rod or compressed air to drive it out.
If all fails, cut the other ferrule off flush with the spar, and use it as a vertical. Not that I have ever had to do that, mind you.
Every so often I remove the leading edge spar and check the ferrules. Several times I have found they need to be re-glued. I think they work themselves loose from the constant flexing.
Check all of your Revs.

Posted 18 August 2008 - 10:25 AM
I am going to assume that the ferule that slid into the other spar is the center rod, therefore you can't push the ferule out from the other end because that too has a ferule on it. So, here's how to do it.
Grab your leading edge end rod and some clear scotch tape, put the two rods together and hold them as tight to each other as possible. Carefully tape the two rods together end-to-end with the tape so that they are perfectly round and not offset. Then take the two rods that are taped together and drop-tap the end of the rod that doesn't have the ferule on it onto the ground vertically so that the rods suddenly stop and the ferule will slide out of the top rod and into the bottom one, drop-tap the rod on something very solid like ceramic tile or smooth cement or a hard countertop (if you have enough ceiling height). Tap a couple times, check the two rods to see if they still wiggle, tap a couple more times etc... until the rods are totally stiff from the ferule being tapped/slid into the other rod. Untape the rods and then re-glue the ferule back to where it should be. If you tap to much and the ferule goes all the way into the bottom rod, untape the two rods and then push the ferule back out from the back side.
Hope this makes sense, easier to show than to say.
Posted 18 August 2008 - 11:07 AM
Perfectly clear.
Hope this makes sense, easier to show than to say.
Thanks, that's one to file away in the old gray matter for future reference.
It's Good to Share the Joy.
Posted 18 August 2008 - 11:23 AM
My Rev 1 has outter sleeves on the center rod. So the outter portions of the LE slide into the middle instead of over a ferule.
Just noticed though that my fathers Rev 1 thats only 2 weeks newer than mine has the internal ferule. Weird.

The main two advantages over other ftp clients are reliability and ability to perform tasks in background. It will reconnect and reget the file being transferred if the connection broke. You can start a transfer in background and continue browsing on the ftp site. It does this all in one process. When you have started background jobs and feel you are done, you can just exit lftp and it automatically moves to nohup mode and completes the transfers. It has also such nice features as reput and mirror. It can also download a file as soon as possible by using several connections at the same time.
Lftp can also be scriptable, it can be used to mirror sites, it lets you copy files among remote servers (even between FTP and HTTP). It has an extensive online help. It supports bookmarks, and connecting to several ftp/http sites at the same time.
This package also includes lftpget - A simple non-interactive tool for downloading files.

What a positive message. I believe that we are seeing people innovate now more than ever due to the recession.
In a career that has spanned 30 years, Antonella Broglia has made Madrid her home. Now, she is at the head of TEDxMadrid, a local initiative licensed by TED Talks.
You are originally a doctor of law, is that right?Yes, but I never actually practiced law. I started working in advertising when I was 17, and now I've been working in advertising for 30 years. I was CEO of Saatchi and Saatchi España for 7 years. Before that I was CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Roma for 3 years, so it's been a long career! For years I've been travelling all week from one place to another. I loved ads, I loved being so international; I loved it… til the day it was simply too much and I stopped.
Was it the job at Saatchi and Saatchi that initially brought you to Madrid?
No. I came to Madrid in ´88 to work. When I came back later it was because of an offer that I received from Saatchi and Saatchi in 1999. Then in 2006 I went to a think tank specializing in new technology and innovation called Infonomía.
I always loved technology and the internet and I saw a total incapability from the other advertising agencies in those days to understand the disruptive potential of the digital environment for them. Instead, at Infonomía they understood internet from the very first day, when people didn't even know what it was.
We've been collaborating for the last 6 years and we're writing a book now.We don't know what the title will be yet, but it will speak about the big ideas that we think will influence life and management in the next 10 years.
What else are you involved in?
I volunteer for United World Colleges. It's a network of schools that teach children an education based on pacifism, problem-solving, team spirit, and solidarity. What I do for them is to teach the children to present their project in front of an audience in 3 minutes.
I'm also involved in Ashoka. It's an American foundation that was founded in Washington more than 30 years ago. We look for social entrepreneurs; people who act like entrepreneurs, but their final objective is not money, it's improving social problems. We find them, we adopt them, we nominate them fellows and we help them develop their innovations.
Ashoka fellows are people who do something in an innovative way on a large scale. Maybe there is a teacher who is doing a fantastic job in one classroom; fantastic, but he's not an Ashoka fellow. An Ashoka fellow has an innovation that can transform the lives of 30,000 teachers. This is what we are looking for and it's not easy to find people like this.
How did you get involved in TED and TEDxMadrid?
I went to see the main TED event in California, and I started to feel the magic of the environment, the ideas, the kind of people. When they opened the system of local licenses, I knew some American students studying here who applied for a license for TEDxMadrid and they received it. I started to collaborate with them and then they went back to the United States and I continued the work.
Now I'm doing TEDxMadrid, 15th September in the Matadero.
We also do an event for young people where everyone on the stage is less than 18 years old and that's TEDxYouth@Madrid on 18th November.
How do you choose the participants for TEDxYouth@Madrid?
We work with a lot of schools who nominate people. Also there is a feature on the website where young people can nominate themselves. On the day it's a mixture between those we have found and those from the general public.
The youngest participant was just 13. Actually, her 14th birthday was the day of the event, so the audience sang "Happy Birthday" to her! It was an unforgettable moment.
I know that your passion is looking into innovation and technology and using it to help solve social problems. What kind of uses of technology have you seen that could help with the current crisis?
For me the big potential here is how technology can put people in contact; if I have something that I don't need, and you need something that I don't need any more. This is very important. Collaborative consumption would not be possible without technology. Solutions of energy will come from technology. The connection between the scientist who has the solution and the company who has the money to employ the solution would not be possible without technology. I believe that technology and the internet will be an essential part of a better education, of a better civilization, of much more information of much more responsibility, and many, many more solutions.
What about the future? Where do you see innovation coming from in Spain?
I expect more innovation than ever in fact. Of course there have been these public cuts, in many things. Still, moments of needs and difficulties like this normally develop searches for solutions. When you're well-fed and you're fine and everything's fantastic , you are not really going to question anything. I really think that this is a super opportunity for us as a country.
At the moment I see a civic organization of people, THE people. They have never been so active! I'm not talking about protests. I'm talking about new initiatives, new economic initiatives, new start ups; groups of one or two people that create companies. I expect a new wave of different things and new companies.
I don't know where we'll be in 10 years, but I expect that a lot of good things will come out of this dark moment.
Originally from Wales, I've been living here for 3 years, teaching English, enjoying life in the city and eating too many croquetas. I also write fiction and comedy.
What a positive message. I believe that we are seeing people innovate now more than ever due to the recession.
It's fascinating to see the innovation and hunger for new start-ups and ways to be creative in Madrid. I salute the effort to bring TED and this kind of educational support as well. Great blog- I'll be following as an American in Madrid.
Agreed with the above comment, it's nice hearing something other than doom and gloom regarding Spain's future.

This New Year's you have options when it comes to designated drivers. One Greenville company offers a unique transportation service that provides a way for you to get home safely along with your own vehicle.
The iDRIVE company drops a driver off at your location who will drive you home in your own vehicle. The driver arrives on a small scooter that fits in your trunk so he or she can place it in your trunk, drive you home, and then be on his or her way to the next customer.
Because the weather is getting colder traditional cabs drop off and pick up the iDRIVE driver. Either way, they say they'll get you and your vehicle wherever you need to go.
"You're not going to get a DUI after driving home from the bar, and you also get to ride in your own car. It's a comforting experience. You don't have to ride in a foreign car, a cab or something like that. You can just ride in your own car and you and your friends can get back to your house and not have to worry about getting your car the next day."
said iDRIVE owner Martin Tanski.
The company has been providing the service since 2011.

Oh goodie...more stats Everyone knows the problems with stats. Stats are a set of numbers that are manipulated to support the arguement of the person presenting it.
Pro 2a Dude: Look at Chicago! Look at the crime rate and murders! This is because it has strict gun control and the bad guys know the good guys don't have guns.
Sounds familiar? Now, does this sound familiar:
Pro 2A dude: When anti's talk about gun deaths and murders they forget that most of them are BG's shooting BG's....just look at Chicago!
See the difference? Our arguements...and theirs, are never consistent. In the first Pro 2A dude response his logic is innocent GG's are getting killed by BG's because of the gun laws. In the second one he is saying that mostly BG's are getting murdered by BG's and not GG's.
I saw a study before (from an anti) that explains how gun control will reduce the amount if illegal firearms in a city and therefore lower the murder/crime rate. Chicago is close to areas where you can purchase guns. If all of Ill and its surrounding states had a ban on guns...of course only crimminals would have guns, but not as many. Crime would move. It was supported with stats from several cities around the US which showed a relationship to crime and violence and the gun control laws that surrounded those areas.
Of course it was bull. It only looked at a few metrics and not the entire picture. Same with every other stat and study that comes from both sides.

Making the most of their humpday evening, a bevy of beautiful people showed up at the 2016 amfAR New York Gala last night (February 10), held at Cipriani Wall Street.
She's always in high demand, and Karlie Kloss' latest adventure finds her fronting a new advertising strategy for Diane von Furstenburg.
In the #YouBeYou campaign, the 23-year-old Chicago native looks amazing as she sports vibrant wrap dresses and embroidered rompers, harkening back to NYFW in September.
Showing some love to their Spanish fans, the cast of "Zoolander 2" showed up at Cine Capitol in Madrid for a blue carpet premiere last night (February 1).
It's no secret that the modeling industry is as competitive as they come, and Karlie Kloss is glad she has a famous female friend like Taylor Swift to help keep her grounded.
She can pull off any look she wants so it's not surprising that Karlie Kloss scored a contract with Kurt Geiger for Spring/Summer 2016.
Under the watchful eye of photographer Erik Torstensson, the beautiful American poser works her mojo in the brand's activewear-inspired range.
She's been a busy babe already in the New Year, and Karlie Kloss just landed the front page of ELLE UK's March 2016 issue.
The beautiful Chicago-born poser worked with photographer Kai Z Feng and stylist Anne-Marie Curtis for the cover shot, in which she dons a lovely ensemble by Louis Vuiton.
She's been hard at work on her college career at New York University, however Karlie Kloss also managed to score a high-profile gig with Topshop.
The 23-year-old supermodel is the face of the popular brand's Spring/Summer 2016 campaign, having worked with creative director Kate Phelan and photographer Tyrone Lebon.
She's been all over the fashion week runways and scored multiple magazine covers, so it's not exactly surprising that Kendall Jenner scored the number one spot in Tumblr's year-end model ranking.

So every time i have been to the doctor since week 35 they have been talking about inducing me at 39 weeks when i brought up i wanted to wait till 40 weeks they were not really happy with it. This last visit yesterday I was told that I went from having this perfect pregnancy where everything is great to now i have a low platelet count and not only need to re verify it but will need to have lil one before it drops lower ill be 37 weeks saturday. I cant help but feel like they just want to find a reason so schedule my birth which i am not ok with at all. I dont want to schedule my baby i want him to get here when he is good and ready. I have a birthing center near me and plan to call them today and see if they are willing to take me in. though i know the chances are slim cause how far along i am. ughhhhhh i hate having all this pressure to have a baby before his due date and to feel like i cant trust my doctor to be honest or understanding but rather that they are trying to make me do something im uncomfortable with. I read up on the platelet thing and alot of peoples platelets drop in 3 trimester i never had a doctor that did that test this far in to my pregnancy so for all i know this is normal for me this is my number 6 . anyway im just not willing to induce unless i just have to and bottom line is my current doc is not listening to me if the birthing center doesnt take me i dont know what to do!!! any suggestions??? or advice or anyone experience this before??? really at a lost as to what to do.
So im thinking of changing my doc at 36 weeks prego! "LONG"
If Its important to you, you will find a way. If not you will find a excuse!
Mother of 2 daughters 11/99 & 7/05. Expecting Baby Boy June 2013
;) yeah but its only if they dont take me in that i will be really stressed cause at this point i feel like current doc they just wants me on a chopping table when its convenient for them. ;(
If Its important to you, you will find a way. If not you will find a excuse!
I hate hearing that someone is going through this... it's so sad that we can't trust our own doctors, but I totally can relate. My doctor is close to retirement and goes on lots of vacations. He wanted me to induce before 40 weeks so as not to risk going overdue and cut into his vacation. I said I'd rather risk giving birth with a stranger than electing to bring my baby into this world too soon and risk lifetime medical problems. I also feel like my doctor poo-poos my desire to avoid pitocin. If I need to labor slowly for 48 hours - so be it! Too many women have to get emergency c-sections because their doctors give too much pitocin, the uterus contractions become unnaturally strong and stress the baby, and then they HAVE to have a c-section.
My Rainbow Girl Arrived June 25, 2013
My platelets are low as well. The main concern my OB has is abnormal bleeding during delivery if my platelets drop too low (I'm having a RCS). Also, if my platelets drop below 100, I may have to have general anesthesia instead of a spinal. However, I scheduled my RCS a day before my due date and my doctor is okay with waiting that long. I had low platelets in my last pregnancy and my platelets were really low both before and after delivery. They discussed blood/platelet transfusion and I was put on steriods to bring up my count. It can get serious, so maybe your doctor is being overly cautious?
Do your research, know your options, and if it's safe, stick to your guns! Your doctor can be as put off with you as he'd like, but in the end, you're going to have a much longer relationship with baby that you will the doctor, so make sure you're making choices in babys best interest, not doctors or your own.

A Washougal woman who set her house ablaze while facing a pending divorce and foreclosure in 2011 pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree arson.
Billinda Jantzer, 51, will be sentenced Sept. 11. Jantzer, who has no criminal history, faces a standard sentencing range of three to nine months in jail.
Jantzer allegedly planned to torch the house Jan. 12, 2011, while she stayed inside, according to court documents.
Her grown son, concerned over a grim text message that she sent him just before the fire, rushed to the house and rescued her.
Firefighters were called to the fire at the home at 530 S.E. Blair Road. A large plume of smoke was reported as the call came in, and firefighters arrived to find the rear of the home engulfed in flames. The house was eventually destroyed.
Fire investigators zeroed in on Jantzer after neighbors reported seeing her and her son driving away as the house went up in flames, according to court documents.
In an interview with investigators, Jantzer said she had used gasoline to set the fire in the living room, according to court documents. She said she was upset about her looming divorce and foreclosure of the house.
No one was hurt.
The home was owned by Jantzer and her husband, and the property was assessed at about $355,000, according to county property records.
Jantzer has a hearing Aug. 22 regarding her divorce proceedings, which are pending.
Jantzer is on supervised release until her case is resolved.

In 2001, OFID took steps to consolidate and strengthen its involvement in the global effort against HIV/AIDS by creating a special program. As of December 31, 2015, US$89 million was approved under the program.
Today, OFID is working with a broad coalition of strategic partners to fight the pandemic in over 90 countries. Our interventions cover many areas, including awareness, prevention, testing and counselling, as well as care, treatment and support.
OFID's partners include the ILO, the IFRC, UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNODC and WHO, among others. Joint initiatives are currently underway in countries across Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Arab World. OFID's primary areas of intervention cover prevention and awareness activities, care and support to people living with HIV/AIDS and reduction of vulnerability. See video clip on left: HIVAIDS Education: OFID and UNESCO
With an estimated 34 million people currently living with HIV/AIDS and the disease continuing to escalate in cer tain countries and regions, there can be no doubt that OFID's contribution will continue to grow ever more relevant and necessary.
In 2015, action to contain the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS comprised the provision of $2m toward three projects.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Two Arkansas House committees have advanced a pair of bills prohibiting employers and universities from requiring their employees and students to turn over passwords to personal social media accounts.
The House education and labor committees on Tuesday approved the two proposals to protect prospective and current employees and students from having to provide the passwords.
One of the measures would prohibit an employer from asking a current or prospective employee to provide access to his or her social media account or change the privacy settings on the account. The second would apply similar rules to a college and its current and prospective students.
Both measures are sponsored by Democratic Rep. Nate Steel of Nashville and now head to the full House for a vote.

Toby Keith opening restaurant in Minn.?
Wait, who's Toby Keith again? Is he that guy married to Nicole Kidman? Hm, no, that's someone else, definitely someone else. Or at least sort of someone else. Well Toby Keith, whoever he is, is supposedly opening one of his "I Love This Bar & Grill" restaurants in Minnesota, featuring Southern homestyle food (think meatloaf, ribs, okra, creamed corn) and live music. Just think, we'll be sharing ranks with Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and Mesa, Ariz. in Toby Keith-dom. Keith plans to roll out several other locations as well. I can't say I wouldn't mind having a decent chicken fried steak now and then.

Tribeca Fest Plans Fall Italian Showcase
by Eugene Hernandez
Films from the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival will head to Italy this fall for five days of screenings in Milan. Seven films, as well as founders Robert DeNiro and Jane Rosenthal, are expected to make the trip for the first "Tribeca Film Festival at the Fondazione Prada." Prada is a sponsor of the annual Tribeca Film Festival in Lower Manhattan and will present the event for free in Milan.
Among the films set to screen in Italy are Liz Mermin's "Beauty Academy of Kabul," Ruth Leitman's "Lipstick & Dynamite, Piss & Vinegar: The First Ladies of Wrestling," Juliano Mer Khamis & Danniel Danniel's "Arna's Children," and Tricia Brock's "Killer Diller".
"As we continue our efforts to develop a new model for what an American film festival can be - characterized by an eclecticism and openness to other cultures that go hand in hand with the spirit of generosity that originally helped bring it to life - we are excited by the prospect of having our initial steps toward outreach take place in the rich cradle of cultural ferment that is Milan," commented Peter Scarlet, Executive Director of the festival, in a prepared statement."

As some of you may remember, in mid December I posted several threads here that culminated in my wife and I purchasing a "99' Cignal Melbourne Express" hybrid/mountain style tandem from craigslist. After a month of looking at it taking up precious living space in our 900sqft apartment we finally got to ride it today! The temps have been below freezing here in the B-W Corridor since well before X-mas and while I love riding, it wasn't worth trying to get Mrs. HandsomeRyan out in miserable temps. After all, this is supposed to be fun. Today it warmed up to the low 50's and my wife got off work early enough to get home before dark. Today we decided was the day to take the tandem out for a spin.
I must say I was blown away by how good of a stoker my wife was. She isn't an avid cyclist and I was a little worried that I'd have to pull us both up the hills but this simply was not the case. She was great, even pushing me to pedal harder up some of the more tiring hills. I think she's a better stoker than I am captain since I only called out about half of our stops, shifts and bumps. We're new at this though and I think we'll quickly get better as a team.
It was so nice to be able to have a conversation without riding dangerously side-by-side or having to keep looking back to see if she was still behind me. Also we encountered a little traffic and 'door zone' riding coming up the main street of our little town and I was glad to be able to watch for that and not be concerned that someone would 'door' my wife behind me.
I know that a lot of BF members lurk in this forum because they are interested in tandems. If anyone reads this who is on the fence about it I say absolutely try it! I enjoyed riding single bikes with my wife but the tandem is so much easier and more fun since we can talk and neither of us has to slow down or speed up to keep up. I can see us having a lot of fun together this spring and summer once the days get longer and we have more time to ride. I know we won't win any races on our boat anchor of a bike but its fun to just cruise around town slowly and wave at people who can't help but smile when they see us ride by.
Thanks for all the advice and information you've all shared with me via this forum. I'll try to get some pics of my wife and I on the bike ASAP.
Pedal on,

In March 1947 I1 published the first results of a new biologic pregnancy test, in which male toads, "Bufo arenarum Hensel," were used as the reacting animals.
One year has elapsed since the first experiments were made, in January 1947, and it is believed useful and desirable to summarize the information obtained since then from the accumulated statistics and the many papers published on the subject.
The basis of this reaction is the phenomenon which occurs in the testicle of the adult male toad as a direct result of gonadotropic stimulation. The positivity or negativity of the reaction to the test is produced by the presence or absence of spermatozoa in a drop of toad's urine, collected by means of a pipet and observed microscopically within a few hours following the subcutaneous injection of 10 cc. of urine from the woman suspected to be pregnant.
