Odd suggestion but have you tried nursing in the bath tub? We didn't have tongue tie but did have over supply and fast let down issues plus colic. For whatever reason a nice deep warm bath was enough to help us both relax and my daughter nursed really well every time. Another thing that really helped was to latch her on and then take her off and let the first let down go into a towel or receiving blanket, then re-latch her. She then could nurse without having to struggle through the spray of milk. My supply regulated between 5 and 6 months, which I believe is on the later side. As my daughter got older she became better at handling the flow and it wasn't an issue anymore.
We were given a few exercises by my LC, but I'll admit I didn't do them as often as I should have. She told me to play tug-of-war with a paci, let him suck on my finger, nail side down, to draw out his tongue, and stick my fingers under his tongue (when he'd let me) and gently stretch the tongue upwards.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with CST. We did that too and it made a big difference. DS never cried during it- it was very gentle. Maybe see if you can find someone else to do it if clipping again doesn't solve everything? We used a CST certified pediatric chiropractor.
Let us know how you make out at the dentist!

We had his tongue clipped yesterday at the dentist. We'll see how things progress! His feeding hasn't been any different yet, but I'm trying to be patient.
I just wanted to chime in about the CST-- it is normal for babies to cry during a CST session-- when a restriction is getting released it can feel uncomfy for a baby and they respond in the only way they know how- by crying. ( i mean, babies will cry when they get gas-- not ideal to hear a baby cry of course but you get my drift I hope) I learned that in the second CST class I took, where they did a demo on a baby, and right as the instructor was releasing the restriction the baby started crying and stopped as soon as it released. Same thing with my DD when she's been worked on. I know it can be distressing to hear, and it sounds like she didn't communicate that fact very well. Nevertheless, in case you wanted to seek out anoher CST pracitioner, thought I'd throw that out there. Also, I live in NW OH and I could ask around for some referrals to other CST practitioners in C-bus if you're wanting to try again. Hope the dentist was ae to help out, rendering my post irrelevant!
Is it a bad sign that his latch is much more painful after the tongue revision? It feels like the first weeks after he was born, when it was tear jerkingly painful. I have two open sores now on my nipple. Does it get worse before it gets better? :-(
Mine didn't get worse before it got better... I am just a first time mom so I don't have much helpful advice, but I definitely don't think that is a good sign. Have you tried putting your finger in his mouth to see how he is sucking? I'm so sorry mama, hope someone here can help you more!!
And keep an eye on those sores- APNO maybe? Just so you don't get thrush or any infections on top of the latch stuff.
Hang in there, mama! Try to give it a little more time before you get discouraged!
7/28/11, weaned gently and gradually at 21 months
1/9/14, enjoying having a little nursling again
Just wanted to give an update in case anyone is having the same problems as we did. My little guy is almost 8 months and breastfeeding is finally "easy" and enjoyable! After his second tongue clipping, the pain while nursing would periodically get so bad! Never figured that out, but maybe he was still learning how to use his new tongue. Around 6.5 months the pain went away, and it hasn't returned. I'm still nursing him frequently (8-10/day), but he doesn't get as frustrated. We're dealing with nursing while distracted, but that's normal and manageable. He finally relaxes while nursing before naps and bedtime, which is such a great feeling. He is getting his first tooth. I was worried it would be painful again, but so far, so good! Who knows if the tongue clipping solved the problem, but I'm glad our persistence paid off. I was unsure we would make it this far; my goal is to nurse him for at least one year and this now seems attainable. Hope our story helps others with the same frustrations!
Yes the tongue is like a muscle, if it's tied down and they can't use it properly it takes them a while to start using it and making it stronger and use it correctly/propperly.
I know this cause I was born tongue tied, they didn't clip it. But, it gave me problems, including a horrible speech impediment, till a ENT said it had to be clipped, said it was the worst he had ever seen and couldn't believe I could talk at all. Any way, it took a year of exercises/therapy after the clipping to get correct use of it.
With my son I figured out he was tongue tied pretty quickly and had it clipped with in the first week, however, I continued to use the shield, testing about once a day to see if it still hurt with out it....took a few weeks if I remember right (he's almost 6 months now and I can't remember exactly how long we used the shield) any way, he's doing great now too. But, yes you are right it takes a little while for them to get proper use of it.
CONGRATS on hanging in there, and having it go good now!

Tweens and teens to meet at libraryWritten by Admin
- font size decrease font size increase font size
The "tween" writing group "Write On!" for 8- to 12-year-olds will meet at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 4 at the Jackson County Public Library in Sylva.
The group will meet twice a month in the conference room of the library. A similar program for older teens, aged 13-16, will be called "WORD" and will begin meeting on Oct. 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the same location. "Write On!" began last year and was a success, with 20 regular attendees. At the end of last year's workshop, the children submitted stories and poems for a book that was published and put in the library's catalog. "Write On!" will meet twice monthly through December. A spring schedule will be decided upon at a later date. Like the group for younger writers, WORD will also meet twice monthly through December. No sign-up is required for either of these programs.

Hugh Hefner's Squeeze Crystal Harris Is The Latest Famous Bride To Wear Pink
Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris are starting the New Year right - as a married couple. The 86-year-old Playboy mogul married 26-year-old Harris on New Year's Eve in an intimate ceremony at his famous mansion.
Harris bucked tradition by wearing a pale pink wedding dress, and she posted several photos on Twitter. She wore a mermaid style soft pink gown, and Hefner donned a black tuxedo as the tied the knot under an archway of pink and white flowers. Harris' brother Keith served as the best man. Other stars who have favored pink on their special day include Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel.
Mr. and Mrs. Hefner were excited to swap vow on New Year's Eve. Hefner tweeted: "A wedding photo of me and my beautiful bride @CrystalHarris. Happy New Year! http://img.ly/rr68."
Hefner and Harris haven't always had a smooth relationship. Just days before they were expected to marry in 2011, Harris called off the wedding and was dubbed a runaway bride.
It's Harris' first marriage and Hefner's third. He was previously married to Mildred Williams from 1949 to 1959 and to Kimberley Conrad from 1989 to 2010. He has four children: Christie (59), David (45) Marston (21) and Cooper (20).

Free Direct Access Plan
In Fulfillment of Commissioner's Regulation:
90.3 (a) through (d) (4)
The Regents Commission on Library Services requires public library systems in the State of New York to include in their service plans a provision guaranteeing free use of library resources to people residing within the System's boundaries. Free direct access is not an issue with the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library (B&ECPL) System due to the nature of the System and how it operates. The following plan explains in detail the B&ECPL's history and present practice of free direct access to library resources for all the residents of Erie County and its commitment to continuing and improving on that principle in the 21st century.
The plan follows the Outline and Guidelines for Developing a Free Direct Access Plan under Commissioner's Regulations 90.3 provided in March 1999, revised 2007.
As defined in section 90.3 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, free direct access is the ability of an individual, who resides within the boundaries of the B&ECPL System and who has a valid borrower's card issued by this System, or any contracting library in the System, to borrow materials for home use directly from the premises of any library that contracts with the B&ECPL System on the same basis as that specified for cardholders in each individual library.
1.) According to the 1953 special legislation, chapter 768, that created the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, the System Board of Trustees may contract with the trustees of any free library within the county, registered by the Regents, or with any municipal or district body having control of such library, to furnish library privileges to the people of the county, under such terms and conditions as may be stated in such contract.
The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library Board of Trustees contracts annually with 22 libraries serving the residents of Erie County. Free direct access is a matter of the contract.
In paragraph FIRST of the annual contract, the contracting libraries agree to furnish free library privileges to the people of the County of Erie. Note that this is an all-encompassing statement giving the residents of the county equal access to any of the 37 library buildings comprising the B&ECPL.
Paragraph SECOND continues the enforcement of free direct access when it states "The books, pamphlets, periodicals, audio/video items and other materials constituting the circulating and reference library of the "Public Library" [aka contract library] shall be loaned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the B&ECPL, presently in force or as amended, to any person holding a library card duly issued by the B&ECPL or any other library within the County of Erie, which, by contract with the B&ECPL, has agreed to furnish library privileges to the people of the County of Erie."
Cementing this policy of free direct access, paragraph FIFTH says "The B&ECPL shall furnish to the "Public Library" [aka contract library] all books, pamphlets, periodicals, audio/video and other library material…" "All such purchases of books, pamphlets, periodicals, library materials and equipment of every nature and description whatsoever shall become the property of the County of Erie or the B&ECPL provided, however, that the "Public Library" [aka contract library] shall have the custody and use thereof so long as it shall continue to render public library service to the people of the County of Erie."
Further, the contract requires in paragraph SIXTH that "The printed books, pamphlets and other documents constituting the circulating and reference library of the "Public Library" [aka contract library] shall be made available for use and distribution by other libraries within the County of Erie, which, by agreement with said B&ECPL, have contracted to furnish library privileges to the people of Erie County."
Library services throughout the county are free to residents who abide by B&ECPL rules. In addition, B&ECPL provides service via libraries at the Erie County Correctional Facility and Erie County Holding Center. The B&ECPL provides library service to the other correctional facilities at Wende, Collins and Gowanda through grants.
2.) No contract library has withdrawn from the System and there are no public or free association libraries in Erie County, outside of the Native American reservations that do not contract with B&ECPL. While not part of the System's chartered service area, residents of the Tonawanda and Cattaraugus Reservations in Erie County have free direct access to any of B&ECPL's resources.
3.) Because of B&ECPL's inherent policy of free direct access, there are no serious inequities and hardships with regard to this policy.
4.) Excessive borrowing is not a problem since all residents are subject to the same borrowing privileges, and the contract designates that the service area, for all libraries in the System, is the entire county.
5a.) B&ECPL is chartered to serve Erie County. Because of the contract, all areas of the county receive library service even if there are no library buildings within the municipality.
The Ewell Free Library in Alden is chartered to serve the village of Alden and the Angola Public Library is chartered to serve the village of Angola. In reality, the Ewell Free Library serves the entire town of Alden as well as any other Erie County residents who choose to use it. The same is true of the Angola Public Library with regard to the town of Evans and the county as a whole.
The towns of Brant, Colden, Holland, Sardinia and Wales do not have library buildings. Their residents are served by libraries in neighboring towns or in any Erie County community that the residents of those towns choose to use.
The Central Library and eight branch libraries located within the city limits provide library service to the residents of Buffalo. The 1953 special legislation creating B&ECPL established representation for the City of Buffalo on the System Board. Buffalo does not have a separate chartered library with an independent library board and does not contract with the System.
5b.) The 1953 special legislation establishing this library system gives Erie County the authority to levy and raise by taxation and appropriation such sums as shall be necessary to establish, equip and maintain such library and branches. An equalized countywide tax supports all the libraries of the B&ECPL. Thus, all property owners in Erie County are contributing equitably to libraries. Each contracting library's budget request is included in the System's operating budget request. The contracting library's budget sum for the year is part of the contract. Local libraries may raise and appropriate funds from other sources to supplement funds derived from Erie County.
5c-e.) The municipalities in Erie County without a chartered library are receiving library service from B&ECPL as detailed above. In any of these municipalities, should the population increase to the point where a library building is warranted, and if the community expressed an interest in funding the construction of a library, the System would respond accordingly. Currently, the low population density in these towns does not justify the establishment of a new library and precludes designating an optimal location for a library building.
6.) B&ECPL does not require any modifications to the plan for unrestricted direct access.
7 & 8.) As B&ECPL's plan for free direct access is included in the annual agreement between the System and the contracting libraries, those libraries are bound by the contract to abide by the free direct access plan. Contracting libraries have been invited to raise questions and provide comments regarding the development of the System plan of service by direct invitation and through an open public review process which affords all residents of Erie County an opportunity to participate.
Adopted December 16, 1999 per Resolution 99-73.
Amended September 18, 2014 per Resolution 2014-28.

June 14, 2013 —
On Wednesday June 12, 2013 at approximately 6:30 p.m., a passing motorist contacted the Sullivan County Sheriff's Patrol to report a suspicious male standing in front of a garage adjacent to a residence located at 521 Old Route 17 in Ferndale.
Sergeant Paul Slavik and Deputy Sean Grady responded to the scene and found that a padlock and hasp that secured the side door had been broken. The two deputies entered the garage and confronted Michael Galicia, 18, of Ferndale. Galicia immediately raised his hands above his head and stated, "you got us!"
A search yielded a second suspect, Jeremy Rodriguez, 20, of the Bronx, who was hiding under a table in the rear of the garage.
The suspects were in possession of several small antiques that they had stolen. Deputies later learned that Rodriguez has a pending case in Bronx Criminal Court involving an attempted murder and assault charge. Both men were charged in this case with Burglary, Grand Larceny and Criminal Mischief.
They were arraigned before Town of Bethel Judge Kevin Rhyne and sent to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail each. They are scheduled to appear in Town of Liberty court next week.
"This was a classic case of 'if you see something, say something,'" said Sheriff Mike Schiff. "It is not often that we catch suspects red handed inside the building."

Your Turn: Your Feedback On Obama's Job Plan, Handicapped Accessibility & Postal Service
Even though the Americans with Disabilities Act became law 21 years ago, some people with special needs are finding places, including government buildings, are still not handicapped accessible:
I'm a paraplegic. We are people too and should be able to go wherever an able-bodied person goes.
If Congress would just cooperate, things might get a little better.
This is surely a result of advanced technology but has the postal service made any real attempt to make their product more appealing or consumer friendly to avoid ''sealing" their own fate?

text: In my area the prevalence of breastfeeding has grown, and now is at an all time high. Unfortunately many moms and moms to be are not fully educated on the benefits and how-to's of breast feeding, and as I have experienced it first hand (well, pumping actually... can't breast feed, something medical) Id love to share what I know. I have found multitudes of job openings for breast feeding counselors but they all require taking a course to be certified. THIS is where you ladies come in. Im trying to find a course to take to become a counselor but am having difficulties finding what needs to be done to do it. I live in the southside chicago area and am wondering if anyone might be able to help out at all. Does the LLL have courses I can take, or any information on where to go to find any? I would really truly appreciate any and all advice and encouragement as many in my family think this is simply a pipe dream. I actually am excited about this, something I haven't been in a while. Im sticking to my guns. Even if it means student loans Im willing to try my best to realize this goal. Thanks!

I need help with increasing my BM supply. My DD is 8 weeks old and she is exclusively bf except for few bottles of bm a week (never formula). She pretty much nurses through the first let down on the first breast - after that she would either fall asleep at the breast or start screaming and pulling off when the bm flow slows down. She rarely nurses well on the second breast - usually only early in the morning. I have struggled for weeks to either keep her awake or calm her down so she can nurse for at least 10 minites total. I thought increasing my milk supply might help her nurse better. I started taking fenugreek, vitamin B complex, and brewer's yeast but honestly I haven't seen a change in my BMS except that I smell like maple syrup. I rented a hospital grade BP but when I am using it after the first morning feeding my breasts feel totally empty for most of the day and I am afraid I wont' make enough milk for DD to eat.
Also I am returning to work in 3 weeks so I wanted to have some BM stored in advance.
If I continue to use the breast pump how long before I see an increase in my BM supply? Also how often should I pump during the day?
DD eats 8 times a day and sleeps usually between 9pm and 3 am and then wakes up for 6 am feeding. She is also gaining well.
Any help and advise will be greatly appreciated!!!!

- Basic vanilla buttercream mix (see Easy vanilla cake recipe below)
The sun-dried seed pod of a type of climbing orchid, vanilla has an inimitable soft, sweet…
- 12 giant chocolate button, 6 cut in half
- treat-size pack chocolate buttons
- 2 chocolate sticks (I used Matchmakers)
- hundreds and thousands
- multicoloured candles
- red (or whatever colour you like) writing icing tubes (I used Asda)
- multicoloured candles
Bake the Easy vanilla cake in a greased, lined deep 20cm cake tin as in the basic recipe; drench with syrup and leave to cool. Leave the oven on.
Break the white chocolate into cubes into a microwaveable bowl, and heat on High for 1 min (or melt over a pan of simmering water). Stir, then leave any remaining lumps to melt in the warm liquid chocolate. Once just-warm, beat the chocolate into the buttercream.
Start the butterflies. Put the whole giant buttons on a flat baking tray on non-stick baking paper, then put into the oven for 20-30 secs or until the chocolate looks shiny. Take out, scatter with hundreds and thousands, then leave to set completely before cutting in half with a large non-serrated knife. For the ladybirds, pipe dots of icing all over the already cut giant button halves, then leave aside to dry.
Spread the buttercream over the cake, then start to arrange the butterflies. Cut each Matchmaker into 3 – these will make the bodies. Press onto the cake, then stick four giant button halves around each body to make 'wings'. For the ladybirds, place two spotty button halves together, then use a small button for the head. Scatter more hundreds and thousands all over the cake, then poke in the candles.
The decorated cake can be left, loosely covered, in a cool, dry place (not the fridge) for up to 24 hours before the party.

What a fabulous recipe!! Made this for my husbands birthday and used Kit Kats all around the sides with ribbon to hold, it was very moist and tasty!
I'm planning on making this birthday bug cake for my daughters 2nd birthday. Wondering does anyone know if ok to use cocoa to make a chocolate sponge - will it work with the greek yoghurt?
Cheers :-)
Very enjoyable to make this for my daughter's 1st birthday. Found it hard to get the matchstick chocolate as Tesco only stock them at Christmas but got after eight ones in another store. Icing was very rich but I made the cake a day in advance and the icing tasted better the 2nd day for some reason and the vanilla cake went down a treat.
Made this for baby's 1st birthday cake. Had to use twice the amount of buttercream as it was not quite enough to cover the whole cake. Very nice, moist cake. I ended up adding more sugar to my syrup as it was so watery I was worried it would just make it mushy. It made it have a crispy edge and moist centre which worked well. I didn't do the homemade choc as I didn't have time but used the same idea using cadbury buttons and sprinkled buttons out of the candy king section. Lots of good comments were received, def. make again!
Made an adapted version for my 19-yr-old step-daughter's birthdayâ¦.substituted hundreds & thousands for pink sugar crystals (Fiddes Payne - Pretty 'n' Pink selection tub) and edible gold glitter. No chocolate buttons to hand but had chocolate coins leftover from Xmas which are much larger than giant chocolate buttons, but I carried on as directed, and the butterflies look amazing!! With the gold glitter & sparkly pale pink crystals they're very Matthew Williamson - just one single butterfly on the side of the cake (jutting up slightly) looked like a statement broach. I eventually whizzed out for giant buttons... instead of using red icing to do the spots I stuck three pink pearls (from the Fiddes Payne tub) on each half of lady bug wing... spectacular effect - perfect for an 'older' birthday â and tasted delicious too.
I made this cake yesterday for my son's 2 birthday. It was absolutely gorgeous, so moist and very vanillary. I decided not to cut it and put a filling in, so the buttercream went on on the top. I decorated as in the recipe, but i put sugar stars instead of hundreds and thousands on top of the cake! My son was really thrilled with his cake as was everyone else.
SAVE TIME.. I found putting the bugs in the oven didn't work for me so I put the sprinkles into a bowl & just rubbed syrup or honey (I used honey) onto one side of the buttons, then dip them in the sprinkles sticky side down. They were easy to cut in half with a none serated knife. Much more simple and saved allot of time. Iv just finished making this for my daughters 2nd birthday it looks fab.

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren issued the following news release on Friday:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Randy Hultgren has initiated a friendly wager with Congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio on Friday night's Mid-American Conference Championship game at Ford Field in Detroit.
Hultgren represents No. 21 ranked Northern Illinois University (NIU) in DeKalb, and Ryan represents No. 17 ranked Kent State in Kent, Ohio. The NIU Huskies will face the Kent State Flash at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. at 6 p.m.
The Congressman representing the losing team will present the Congressman representing the winning team with treats from his district. Hultgren has offered up a holiday basket from Graham's Chocolate in Geneva.
"I look forward to sampling the gift basket of gourmet goods from Kent's local bakeries and the Kent Displays Boogie Board that Rep. Ryan will be sending from Ohio, because I know the Huskies are going to win tonight," Hultgren said. "Coach Doeren and the team have had an outstanding year."
Last year, Hultgren made a similar wager with Congressman Bill Johnson of Ohio when NIU faced the Bobcats of Ohio University. Per the terms of that wager, Johnson later made a speech on the House floor congratulating NIU on its victory, while holding an NIU helmet.

WASHINGTON, DC — Food pantries in the region have been putting extra effort into their operations since the economy collapsed in 2008. Now, they will have to put forward even more effort to help feed the hungry because benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP—formally known as Food Stamps) were cut by $5 billion beginning on November 1.
In 2009 Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which temporarily boosted SNAP spending levels to help the working poor survive the Great Recession, but that spending has now expired. The House and Senate have begun to work on the Farm Bill, which covers SNAP spending, but there are very large differences about what the ultimate size of the SNAP program should be.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), the current cut is significant, with a family of three losing $29 a month, or a total of $319 through the end of the fiscal year, in September 2014. According to CBPP, "The cut is equivalent to about 16 meals a month for a family of three based on the cost of the U.S. Agriculture Department's 'Thrifty Food Plan.' Without the ARRA's boost, SNAP benefits in fiscal year 2014 will average less than $1.40 per person per meal."
SNAP benefits go to individuals and families at the bottom of the income level. More than 80% of recipients receive income below the federal poverty level, which is $19,500 for a family of three, and 40% of recipients have less than half of that.
CBPP points out that the cut not only means less money in the hands of the hungry, but it also means less money in local economies across the country. In New York State, the cuts mean there will be $332 million less flowing to more than three million people who would spend those dollars in places like Peck's Markets; in Pennsylvania the cuts mean about $1.7 million less, which would be spent in places lake Dave's Super Duper.
There are thousands of residents impacted by the cut in benefits in the Upper Delaware River Valley. According to a survey done in 2009, in Wayne County, PA there were 5,107 recipients, or 10% of the population receiving SNAP benefits; in Pike County, PA there were 4,261 recipients, or 7% of the population; in Sullivan County, NY, there were 8,697 recipients, or 11% of the population.
As noted earlier, some lawmakers from the House and Senate are negotiating the Farm Bill, and the Senate proposal would cut SNAP by $4.5 billion. The proposal put forward by the House contains cuts that go far deeper than that. Their bill would cut $40 billion from SNAP over the next decade, and would deny benefits to about 3.8 million people next year. Many analysts say this difference will be the main obstacle to overcome if Congress is to pass the Farm Bill this year, which might not be possible.
Many see the steep cut proposed by the House as unacceptable. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand led a group of 38 senators urging their colleagues in the Farm Bill conference committee to fight against "harmful cuts" to SNAP. She said, "Families who are living in poverty—hungry children, seniors, troops and veterans who are just trying to figure out how to keep the lights on and put food on the table—did not spend this nation into debt, and we should not be trying to balance the budget on their backs. They deserve better. Millions more won't be able to put food on the table if draconian cuts to food stamps become law."
Jamie Dollahite, a professor at Cornell University, and an expert in nutrition education for limited resource audiences, said the cuts that occurred on November 1, "hit those families that are most vulnerable. Approximately half the recipients are children, with one in four of all children in the U.S. receiving benefits. Almost 90% of SNAP households have children, seniors, and/or someone with a disability."

SanDisk Sansa Clip+
The Clip+ has a fantastic little form factor; somewhat cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straightforward. The features on the Clip are more or less average, however it supports the alternative Rockbox firmware which provides tons of additional options (gapless playback, Replaygain, playlists, Last.fm scrobbling, etc). Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon J3
The J3 is a fantastic PMP with a very nice AMOLED screen and tons of features. It sports Cowon's trademark BBE sound enhancements, and offers a customizable user interface with strong support by our user community.

Microsoft Zune HD

You can check out our Zune HD review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest info and gossip.
Phonak Audéo PFE
Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.
Hippo VB
The Hippo VB (Variable Bass) offers a serious subwoofer for on the go, right in your head. They don't just deliver generous quantities of punchy, textured bass, but good audio quality over the whole frequency range with decent clarity and exceptional soundstage. Exchangeable bass ports let you customize their sound to your liking. Read our in-depth Hippo VB review.
Soundmagic E10 / E30
The Soundmagic E10 and E30 are basically right in the middle between the Phonak PFE and Hippo VB - not too analytical sounding, not too bass heavy. The E10 provide a bit more bass, the E30 a bit more clarity. Both come with a very fair price tag considering the sound quality they deliver - a great choice for the audio aficionado on a budget. Read our E10 and E30 reviews for more info.

Economist Marc Gius, of Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., published his study, An Examination of the Effects of Concealed Weapons Laws and Assault Weapons Bans on State-Level Murder Rates, in Applied Economic Letters. In the study Gius found intriguing evidence suggesting restrictive guns laws do little to curb murders committed with guns. Instead, the data implied the opposite conclusion.
According to the study's abstract, Gius found states with bans on so called "assault weapons" did not have significantly lower gun-related murder rates than other states. Furthermore, he found states with restrictions on concealed carry weapons had higher gun-related murder rates than other states.
Gius' conclusion: "These results suggest that restrictive concealed weapons laws may cause an increase in gun-related murders at the state level."
For anyone paying attention to the national news, this should come as no surprise. Cities with some of the nation's most restrictive gun laws also boast among the highest rates of gun-related murders. It is only natural those sorts of micro-level trends would carry over to the macro level.

I think LBJ doesn't want to play with scrubs again like he did for 7 years in Cleveland. He went to MIA to play with 2 superstars, who are his buddies so I don't see that trade happening.
ESPN had proposed this trade and to me it sure makes a lot of sense for both franchises!
so why would both teams do such a move?
For Orlando it comes down to to stability! You trade a mega star who could possibly walk for one who you have for the next 5 seasons!
I mean Lebron is signed to a long term deal, so Orlando knows they have a franchise player for years to come. They no doubt make the playoffs and will be a top team in The East. Now are they a championship team, no...but they are not one now either!
What's the risk? well Lebron will not be happy about this deal and he will be bitter for a bit....yet he could be driven, this could give himself a chance to prove he can lead a team by himself! But make no mistake about it, Lebron would be pissed. But could that drive him? Plus there is not much hope that they can make this team much better anytime soon thanks to that December deal w/ Phoenix and Washington, basically Hedo and Gilbert are on the books for 3 more years and no one is gonna trade for either one.
But with Van Gundy coaching, Nelson, Gilbert (albiet a shell of his old self), Hedo, JJ Reddick and Brandon Bass making a nice core of players to surrond Lebron with to be a relevant team in the league, again if they only had Gortat still they would have a legit shot at winning The East.
I would pull the trigger on this deal in a hearbeat!
For Miami they trade away one of the single best players in the league and actually improve!
Chalmers or Bibby
Mike Miller
That is a perfectly rounded starting 5 and they actually are more scary than their current lineup. Mike Miller, Chalmers and Bosh's ability to spread the floor opens so much opportunity for D Wade and Dwight.
Now the quasi risk is that Dwight could walk at the end of the season but Dwight claims he is about winning and no way he doesnt win a title with this team....plus lets say he walks, that clears space for Mia. to go after Chris Paul or Deron Williams! Which either move (Paul or Williams) keeps Miami a title contender this is a low risk high reward move for Mia.
But I Highly doubt Dwight would walk, think about it if they came to Dwight while they were steam rolling the league and offered him max money for max years (whatever that will be in the new CBA) he would not say no! He would be winning, getting his money and would still be regarded as the best Center in the League.
Sound Off!!!!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
I think LBJ doesn't want to play with scrubs again like he did for 7 years in Cleveland. He went to MIA to play with 2 superstars, who are his buddies so I don't see that trade happening.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
If Lebron got traded to Orlando he can kiss his dreams of ever winning a championship good bye. All he'll have is a bunch of scrubs and a bloated contract in Gilbert Arenas.
How about Amare for Dwight?!?! I actually think this makes some much sense for BOTH teams... With Dwight, Melo becomes the focus scorer and breaks the grid lock that was caused by having 2 players that demands the offense runs through them. If you are Orlando, you can sell a super star for a super star... You bring in a guy that can step right in and elevate the team. Also, Amare is from Florida so he will be closer to his home than ever... I have actually seen this scenario at a few sites; yard barker; espn... Both sites have stated that the Knicks would have to include Billups expiring contract to take one of the bloated contracts back with Howard... I think if the Kicks stood their ground, they could do a 1 for 1 swap with maybe having to include a pick or maybe a young talent like Fields...
Get a new owner!!!
it doesnt matter if its in the NBA forum section, keep lebrons name out of your mouth on this website period.
youre dumb
fantasizing in your spare time about lebron trades to the magic
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
It would make the Heat a powerhouse defensively and Dwayne Wade would have the freedom to run the offense and just feed Bosh/Dwight all day
I dont know any team that could stop that front court except for maybe Portland(Aldridge, Camby) and the Lakers (Gasol, Bynum),
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Crazier trades have been made, but I don't see it happening

Friday tweeted a photo of a partially naked woman in a bed in his hotel room.
After last night's 119-114 loss, a Knicks official conferred with Smith before he met with a small group of writers.
"I didn't know it would turn into a big deal,'' Smith said of the photo. "I definitely regret it. Whenever it takes away from our team, I regret it. It wasn't the smartest move."
Asked if he had spoken to the NBA, Smith said, "Not yet. I'm sure I will.''
A Knicks spokesman declined to comment. The Knicks signed Smith 2½ weeks ago with fears about his reputation as a character negatively effecting the locker room.
Smith is noticeable in the locker room after losses for being in jovial, joking moods. He loudly sang a rap song after the Boston heartbreaker.

This is one of the dumbest threads ive ever seen.
Does anybody think when Knicks signed JR Smith, they were getting a Rhodes scholar? I'd be terribly disappointed if he didn't have a naked woman in his room after every game.
Funny....JR send its we are like what a Moron....
If Lin had sent it we would have been like Jeremy is the man
that definatly deserves rep points quiggle!!!
He should be applauded not reprimanded!
We should not have signed him. The guy seems to be quite happy to lose. That is the kind of attitude that we have been trying to change. Our culture of accepting losing has been terrible.
Tyson Chandler has been changing that, now we have bought this idiot in to the roster. He hasn`t exactly been lighting it up since he joined. I`d rather see Fields playing with Shump ahead of Smith. I guarantee that Smith will be trouble down the line.
I don't understand the point of this post. He shouldn't have been signed because of what happens in his personal life??
It isn't like he is dog-fighting or selling drugs, or running guns for the Cartels.
He is twittering to his followers and this is on his PERSONAL time.
What does this have to do with the NBA. What does this have to do with his 3pt shooting or when he is practicing?
I don't understand why this is even relevant to the last 5 games.
strongly disagree, JR Smith provides energy and enthusiasm on the court- when he makes mistakes he shows his frustration. JR Smith is a keeper.
I mean the guy was watching youtube videos during the sweet run and getting excited. Plus I follow him on twitter now and I think he is a solid guy worth giving a shot. Plenty of guys and girls go through a solid immature selfish and sometimes stupid period earlier in their lives. But most of us end up growing up and learning lessons in life that continue to resemble who we are as individuals.
By his energy, excitement, and sometimes nervousness on the floor - he's legitimate. So I discarded preconceptions as I read the flak and listened to him in interviews. He is a solid piece for the team. Should remain - If our bench can score 50 pts a game and starters just need to put up 70pts - we can average 120pts a game. JR Smith is a great piece to the puzzle. Shooting - I wish he was performing better offensively but - I think he's shown some brilliance in his sprints to the hoop for dunks, his sprints to steal the ball, and how he can set an example defensively for the "stars"
I'm also excited to see what it looks like when he connects with Lin.
So far I've seen Landry, Shumpert, Jeffries, Novak, and Chandler. REALLY Connect and solidify with Jeremy - Consistently improving and just getting better from the beginning til the end of the game.
I'm still waiting on more improvement with Carmelo + Amare + Baron Davis when it comes to Lin.
Oh and JR but I think based on the way they play speed wise, aggressiveness, and energy - everything points toward them clicking if given the opportunities. As the floor leader, tone setter, and one with the best court vision - if Lin can connect with him then that in turn means Jr can connect with everyone else that Lin is connecting with - and I'm seeing that. JR sacrificed shots to assist it to Novak others - so they could shoot and DID score because they had good looks.
Looks like Kim Kardashian and JR are making a sextape...
This gives us more reason to keep JR Smith, I LOVE ASS!

Skoda Fabia
The Skoda Fabia offers plenty of space and a comfortable ride, plus it's fairly cheap to buy and run. However, the interior is desperately drab. …
The third-generation Yaris might have filled out a little, but it's still cute and perfectly formed. It's easy to drive, cleverly designed and shouldn't offend anyone.
It handles and rides fairly well, but it's not always comfortable, and can feel unsettled on bumpier roads. Also, compared with the best superminis such as the Vauxhall Corsa it's noticeably less refined, with more wind, road and engine noise.
There's a host of safety features as standard, including anti-lock brakes, two front airbags on the base model, and curtain airbags on the next model up. The car also gets a five-star occupant safety rating in Euro NCAP tests, and three stars for pedestrian protection.
The Yaris is one of the shorter cars in its class, but you still get a good amount of space inside considering it's a supermini. Rear passengers shouldn't complain, and those in the front enjoy good forward visibility because of a high seating position.
The car is also surprisingly practical, with the rear seats folding completely flat to enlarge the luggage space.

I am still a bit unsettled that the drunk, disheveled version of Woody Harrelson was my eye's main squeeze throughout the movie "Hunger Games." Katniss and him with a bow and arrow. Mm-hmm. Shoot that, girl! You so strong and self-reliant!
The blockbuster's stars, storyline, avant Gaga-garde costumes and dystopian niche are all ingredients begging for a sexy spoof.
Luckily, drag queen Virginia West has offered herself as tribute. Expect some satire that is crass, drag performances that are sassy and comedic theater that is some of the best in town.
May the dollar bills be ever in your fingers.

I posted a similar post in Breastfeeding While Pregnant but this board looks like it gets a bit more traffic and really I think it's more of a weaning issue anyway.
I really need to start weaning DS. He's only 12 months, but I am overwhelmed by his nursing demands and now that I'm pregnant again he's exhausting me by still waking up 3-4 times a night to nurse.
I've tried all the regular tips and none have worked.
Distractions - MAYBE last a few minutes. He's a very focused baby.
Food - He already eats 3 full meals, snacks between and drinks water from a cup. He refuses to drink cows milk and doesn't particularly like juice.
Reason - He's not old enough to be reasoned with - although trust me I've tried.
If he's distracted by any of the above he makes it up by asking again a bit later and he's throwing unbelievable fits (smacking and kicking me). I'm starting to make less milk now that I'm pregnant and it only seems to be causing him to nurse MORE which is not only futile and exhausting but painful.
I'm at a loss. Frustrated. Overwhelmed. Does anyone have some golden advice for how to handle this?

Water Birth (Again)
Note: I had just finished writing this article when I discovered Dr. Jones had beat me to the punch with his March 28th article on the same subject. He did an excellent job, and of course reached the same conclusions I did (it's not that great minds think alike, but that we base our conclusions on the same body of evidence). Rather than let my efforts go to waste, I decided to go ahead and publish my shorter, more idiosyncratic article. If it's worth saying, it's worth saying twice; and different approaches may appeal to different readers.
"Humani nihil a me alienum puto."
Nothing human should be alien to me, and I can understand why people do most of the strange things they do, but water birth is something I have really had difficulty with. Why would anyone want a baby to be born underwater? Why would they want to buy a special pool, set it up in the living room, fill it with water, keep the water at the right temperature, and then have to deal with emptying the pool and cleaning up afterwards? I read about it and tried to understand, and now I have some insight into their reasons; but I think they are poor reasons, and the whole concept remains pretty alien to my mind.
The claims
I found a fuzzy feel-good rationale on the Waterbirth International website. Mothers feel it is the gentlest of gentle births. Warm, luxurious water cradles you and gives you complete freedom to move during the greatest achievement of your life. "The women who have experienced the support and comfort of water for their labors and held their newborns in their arms speak more than any scientific article or paper on the subject." In other words, "We don't need no stinkin' science!" (more…)

Re: Goooood Morning SHR - Wednesday
Anyway, I was told I needed 60+ cupcakes. It's 50 some kids & rest adults watching over them.
So, since I can get 24 cupcakes per box, I got 8 boxes which will allow each person 2 cup cakes. Usually I get 28 cupcakes out of a box mix, BUT......I noticed the box mixes I bought & compared them to an older mix (flavor I'm not making for them) & they've lowered the ounces per box.
I figured something was different when I didn't get more than 24 cupcakes out of a box mix. I really thought it when the second batch was done. The 3rd was no different & it was French Vanilla instead of just white.
I looked at the box & it said 16.5 ounces. I pulled out an older cake mix & it's 18.25.....plus the cost of the mixes went up.
So much for a few little extra for me & the hubby now.

Good morning:
This is the first of what will be regular communication with local administrators. Normally, I'll use these messages to discuss issues and seek your advice about how state policies, programs and services can best help you improve student achievement. In addition, I will send out, as needed, an "Administrative Update" email message to give you current information from ISBE regarding administrative and operational programs and procedures.
With this first message, however, I just want to tell you that in my first week on the job, I met with numerous partners in Illinois education and my message was simple: nothing is more important to me than serving the interests and needs of the field. To do this successfully we need to know what's going on in the field and what's on your minds.
My role as state superintendent is to work with you to implement our common agenda - to do what's best for kids. Over the next several months we plan to celebrate your successes. At the same time, we will focus on better identifying and understanding your needs and problems and to implement programs and services that support you, your faculty, staff, students and parents. Illinois education has enormous potential and my goal is to help you build that potential into a successful future for all our kids.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with you ideas, suggestions and concerns via email at email@example.com. I look forward to meeting you personally in the coming weeks.
