Volume Four of the Dangerous Old Woman Series with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés
"What makes talent bloom? Ask what makes a tree blossom. They are the same. It is not unfathomable. It only takes concentration. Concentration of energies is what makes a tree flower. Not bigger, not faster, not taking up more space. Rather, less space. Density. Pressure in hard places. Often, in the dark. Relentlessly. Freely. For as long as it takes. Hold faith, a gestation can go long and for good reason, and nothing much shows above ground. But then, one day…" —Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD
Are you waiting for New Life, for your talents to bloom? With The Late Bloomer, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés presents volume four of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype, bringing you six sessions of original tales, stories from her ethnic families, poems, blessings, and psychological commentary exploring the cycles of "burgeoning, blooming New Life."
The Ultimate Blooming Takes Time
Although we are each created with countless gifts to share in this lifetime, no one is born in full development, begins Dr. Estés. The Late Bloomer—the one at the verge of tipping forward into her creative powers—speaks to all of us who sense within "great talent untapped … touchingly wondrous yet wounded or held back by fate in some way." Meet the wise old woman in the form of The Late Bloomer in her many guises, as she beckons us to ignite the creative fire of the interior life, to burst into bloom time and again.
Step Forward into Your True Shape
Dr. Estés asks, "What is your reason for being here on earth? What are the promises you made to Creator before you came? That is your original shape—the holy shape of how you are meant to go in life, regardless of all crosswinds." The old woman as the wise Late Bloomer calls us to "step forward into our true shapes, and to step onto the open road and blue sky… where we can be born into New Life again."

Superb as usual.. I adore Dr Estes and this series really gives you hope, especially if you are late blooming..she helps you feel that all your sitting around and moping in the dark for years hasn't just been a waste of a life but it has some purpose and how you can put it to good use..
Of course you will have to listen to a few times to really soak in it..

- Review for The Late Bloomer Review by Cristina G
I'm really disappointed with this CD. I was going to ask for my money back and would love if a refund were still possible as it really did not meet my expectations. Having read and loved Pinkola Estes book, Women who Run with the Wolves, I'd been very much looking forward to hearing her speak on CD. The first CD alone spanning two hours could have been summed up in the phrase--it's never too late. Instead, the author rambled and waffled on and on and it appeared she was simply intent on filling time rather than providing substance to her topic. I would not recommend this CD to anybody having found it an outrageous waste of time and money. It appears there is no option here to give a no-star rating, so therefore I'm being forced to give it 1.

Clarissa is just so magical to listen to. This archetype is so misunderstood and she explains it wonderfully well and told through her unique way of sharing, a true inspirational storyteller. A very informative listen.

- Review for The Late Bloomer Review by Gloria K
Estes, as always, is charming and relateable as are her stories and archetypal discussions. Such a wondrous scholar of storytelling in general, a great storyteller herself, and yet like sitting down with your sister to have a chat. Beautiful no matter when or how you are blooming!

Clarissa has a wonderful voice that lovingly pulls you in to the story she might be telling, or the insights about the story theme that might apply to you. I feel stronger and more empowered after listening to this series. Hope she does more.

The content of this program is wonderful, as always. I am enjoying the entire series and find myself sharing insights with other folks along the way, recommending the entire "Dangerous Old Woman" series to them as well.
One challenge is the format. I purchased a download of this program and when it loads into iTunes, it comes as one entity. You cannot choose chapters or sections easily. I tried to access it as a regular music file, and that is better because it has chapters, but still, the chapters are not titled.
Sounds True does provide a handy PDF of the chapter headings, which helps, but I think next time I will order the CD version, which is far more versatile. When I load the CD's into my iTunes library, they show up with headings and are a lot easier to navigate.

I love Sounds True programs. I have been a follower of Clarissa Pinkola Estes for many years and her latest series is her best ever. Her words give me insight into my life as well as the universe. It takes letting go of my judgmental mind to really hear her. She is one of my favorite and I have been listening to sounds true for more than a decade.

8 Days of Christmas Eye Makeup Tutorials: Day 5
This must be one of my favorite eye makeup looks! It was one of my AH-HA! moments that resulted in the creation of this look. So many different colors used, all complementing each other flawlessly. I love how the gold, bronze-brown and maroon eyeshadows, and blue matte eyeliner look so perfect alongside one another. The green contact lenses brings the whole look together.
I it very mucheee!
I wore it to a Christmas Eve's eve gathering with friends and it was perfect for my color-block ensemble of a persimmon-orange top and cobalt-blue shorts.

The maps show it. It's in the 100-year flood plain.
But, the overgrown brush in Medio Creek, which would normally whisk the water away from the area, blocks the water and slows its flow southward.
The drought has been a blessing these past few years. Less water means less flooding.
But that is not a solution.
About a month ago, heavy rains north of the town reminded residents of the problem.
Karen Kibbe, who lives in the area, approached county commissioners about the problem, hoping for help.
At the time, there was little they could do.
But Commissioner Dennis DeWitt has since followed up and is seeking a solution to the problem.
DeWitt said that he has been approached by several more residents about flooding.
"The people who have talked to me have said, 'Why don't you have these oil companies come in here and clean this out,'" DeWitt said. "We haven't approached them, and we won't. They have other things to do."
There is also the issue that this would be considered private property, which limits what can be done by the county.
"We have to respect private property rights," DeWitt said during a recent commissioners court meeting. "You cannot just go down a creek with a bulldozer and start clearing it out."
Then there is disposal. "What are you going to do with all that stuff — the trees, and there might be a refrigerator or two."
He did some research.
A water control and improvement district could be formed in the county.
"When you start doing a water control and improvement district, they are going to have authority to issue bonds and condemn property," DeWitt said. "All of the property owners affected would have to agree to this."
DeWitt, in his speaking during a June 24 court meeting, wasn't pushing this idea. There was a simpler option.
A Community Development Block Grant could be sought to help fund the cleanup.
Eric Hartzell, with GrantWorks, told DeWitt that there are a variety of grants available depending upon the circumstances.
"CDBG funds can now be used for drainage in the Coastal Bend as well. We applied for drainage improvements for San Patricio and Jim Wells counties under the 2013-14 Community Development Fund last fall, and both will be funded this year," Hartzell said in an e-mail.
"This would provide around $250,000 for drainage work, so it may be something to consider for next year's application."
For now though, their hands are tied as they wait for the next round of grants hopefully to come in.
"The people of Pettus are not forgotten," he said. "There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not a train."
Ultimately, it will be up to the court to decide what will be done in that area.
"We have several options we could go with," he said.
Until then, heavy rains like last month will place the downtown area at risk.
"Hopefully, we will get rain but not eight or 10 inches upstream and create this situation again."
County Judge David Silva interjected as DeWitt spoke to his fellow commissioners.
"We are hoping to get a little rain.
"That was an usual event, and I agree it doesn't happen every time.
"I think that would be a worthy way of looking at it.
"Hopefully, we can mitigate some of that problem."

Plant loverMay 01,2013
You might call it plantgate, except the suffix -gate gives the story a level of notoriety that ordinarily does not attach to houseplants. Yet how the houseplants of a Cabinet secretary migrated upstream to Montpelier after Tropical Storm Irene is a mystery only now unraveling.
Rather than a scandal, it is more like one of those embarrassments that public officials occasionally must endure as the price of public service in a nation professing an ethos of egalitarian democracy.
It began, as did so much, with Irene, when the Winooski River inundated the state office complex in Waterbury. Natural Resources Secretary Deborah Markowitz had her office there, and at her office she had her plants.
At some point in the aftermath of the flood, as the state was reeling from the death and destruction of Irene, two game wardens from the Fish and Wildlife Department received instructions to go to Markowitzs office to retrieve her plants. They followed their instructions and delivered their cargo to her Montpelier home.
There are two ways to look at this, and it wouldnt have been a story unless some people were looking at it in one of those ways. The less favorable scenario has a high government official commandeering government personnel to carry out a mission to benefit her personally. People get fired for that sort of thing.
The game wardens received their instructions from Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry. Berry said Markowitz never asked for help with her plants. Rather, she described to him her dismay that she might lose plants that she had possessed since her childhood, including a small tree that had belonged to her mother, who had died when Markowitz was young. Berry took it upon himself to secure the help of the game wardens in rescuing those half dozen plants.
As an abuse of office, this is small potatoes. It is embarrassing mainly because there was a great deal of more important work that needed to be done amid the devastation of Irene. Maj. Dennis Reinhardt, second in command of the states game wardens, acknowledged to Associated Press reporter Dave Gram, I understand why it doesnt look good.
In contrast, consider the case of John Rowland, the former governor of Connecticut, who resigned from office in 2004 and served 10 months in federal prison for receiving $107,000 in gifts and services from people doing business with the state including work done on his vacation home.
Or consider Steven Kuhr, New Yorks emergency management director, who was fired by Gov. Andrew Cuomo for using a Suffolk County work crew to remove a tree from his driveway after Hurricane Sandy.
Or consider Hamid Karzai, president of Afghanistan, who acknowledged this week that the CIA had been in the habit of dropping off bags full of cash for him to use as he saw fit, including as payoffs to warlords. There is corruption, and there is corruption.
The sensitivity in Vermont to small instances of special treatment or abuse of power is both a symptom of and a cause for the expectation that public servants in the state will practice an ethos of good government. Slight deviations are noted. Remember Ralph Wrights shower? Or his hockey tickets? Its hard to think of blatant instances. The sensitivity of Vermonters and the curiosity of reporters help ensure that any politician or government official who wants to cut corners or call in favors will not escape notice. That is a good thing.
For conscientious public servants such as Markowitz and Berry, the acute public conscience of Vermonters may be a source of discomfort and embarrassment. Then again, anyone who has maintained a dracaena majoris for some number of decades and, presumably, has moved it from office to office during a long career, may not easily fall into the category of political malefactor. She loves her plants for a secretary of natural resources, that ought to be a plus.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

I started rice cereal, veggies and fruits for my 6 month old daughter recently. I give her once a day. I BF her before and after an hour I give her cereal mixed in BM. Then again in the evening I give her little veggie or fruit.
Her poop is not as soft as it used to be and she has not been having regular poops since last 2 days.
I read that oats may be better. but meanwhile can I give her something that might ease her up? like prunes? I read couple of charts that listed prunes for babies older than 9months old.
What else can I give her?
I tried to skip the meal but she wanted it..made a big scene until I gave her coupla spoons.

Charitable Lead Trusts: Getting Started
How It Works
You give assets to a trust that pays Gustavus Adolphus College an income for a number of years, which you choose. The longer the length of time, the better the gift tax savings for you. When the term is up, the remaining trust assets go to you, your family or other beneficiaries you select. This is an excellent way to transfer property to family members down the line (typically children and grandchildren) at a minimal cost.
There are two basic types of charitable lead trusts: a grantor lead trust and a non grantor or family lead trust. Which one is right for you?
In a grantor lead trust, you are considered the owner of the trust. You receive the remainder interest at the end of the trust's term. As the owner, you are taxed on all the income. You are entitled to claim a current federal income tax deduction for the present value of the income payments to charity. This type of trust works well if it is funded with municipal bonds.
A more popular option is the non grantor or family lead trust. With this type of trust, your family members receive the remainder interest at the end of the trust's term. You do not qualify for an income tax deduction. However, you will receive a charitable gift tax deduction for the present value of the charity's interest. This is an excellent way to transfer property to family members down the line at a minimal tax cost. This type of charitable lead trust is especially appealing to Gustavus Adolphus College supporters who have appreciating assets and are financially comfortable enough that they can forgo investment income on some assets.
Fixed or Variable Charitable Payments?A charitable lead trust can make payments in one of two ways: A charitable lead annuity trust pays a fixed amount each year to Gustavus Adolphus College, whereas a charitable lead unitrust (the less common type) pays a variable amount each year based on the value of the assets in the trust. With a unitrust, if the trust's assets go up in value, the payments to our organization go up as well. On the other hand, if the assets decrease in value, so do our payments.
You can create a lifetime charitable lead trust to take effect today, or you can set up the trust to take effect at your death (a testamentary trust).
Your Main Benefits
- You support an organization you love while also making sure your family is taken care of after your lifetime.
- The gift qualifies for gift or estate tax savings based on the current value of the income paid to Gustavus Adolphus College over the trust term. (Ask your legal and tax advisors for more information about your possible tax savings.)
|Calculate how a charitable lead annuity trust or a charitable lead unitrust can benefit you.
ExampleAssume you pass away leaving a taxable estate of $10 million. For each $1 million over the estate tax threshold that you leave to your family, estate taxes could consume up to $400,000 and your heirs will receive only $600,000. With a lead trust, you can transfer $1 million to your heirs—albeit after your death—leaving only $51,1601 subject to tax, instead of $1 million.
To accomplish this, you create a $1 million lead trust from your estate (a testamentary charitable lead trust) that will pay a qualified charitable organization $60,000 annually for 18 years. When the trust ends in 18 years, the remaining trust assets will go to your named beneficiaries.
This is just one example. The size of your trust and its terms are up to you.

North Central College senior Laurel White of Bloomington, Ill., has earned a highly competitive Dunn Fellowship for 2010-2011.
The fellowship provides a full salary and benefits to work for one year in the Governor of Illinois' Press Office in Springfield, Ill.. Top students from around the country apply and fewer than 20 fellowships are awarded each year. The program begins in August and ends in July of the following year.
White is majoring in English/writing at North Central College and has been accepted into the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. She will defer her enrollment to Northwestern for a year to serve as a Dunn Fellow.
"I'm incredibly honored and excited to have received a Dunn Fellowship," White says. "I'm sure it will be an excellent learning opportunity, one which wouldn't have been possible without the encouragement and support of North Central College faculty. I am lucky to have had a group of excellent professors to support and encourage me throughout the application process and my entire academic career."
While at North Central, White received a Richter Grant to study public policy journalism by researching British impressions of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign as a study abroad student in London. For research into the culture of political satire, she attended a taping of the "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." She presented her work at the National College Honors Conference in Washington, D.C., and at the College's Rall Symposium for Undergraduate Research. In addition, she was a College Scholar at North Central and served as co-editor-in-chief of the Chronicle student newspaper.
White is a graduate of University High School in Normal, IL.
English majors at North Central College choose from an emphasis in literature, writing or journalism. English majors pursue opportunities to secure highly competitive internships, study abroad, conduct research, produce student-managed publications and other experiences valuable to pursuing careers in English. Visit http://northcentralcollege.edu/academics/dept-div-progs/english/english to learn more.
The James H. Dunn Memorial Fellowship Program is a year-long governmental honors fellowship program in Illinois. The fellowship affords recent college graduates from every state the opportunity to experience and gain first-hand knowledge of Illinois state government and general governmental structure at the executive level.

The fireworks show in Kailua was a real treat this year. It was a show that was close to not lighting up, almost leaving residents without fireworks to enjoy on July 4.
"It was so awesome and everyone was cheering, it was so wonderful, everyone is so happy," said Kailua fireworks spectator Marianne Timmerman.
"Everybody was enjoying it, a lot of noise, they brought it down tonight!" said fireworks spectator Chad Morales.
Last year, the Kailua Fireworks Organization wasn't able to raise enough funds in time for Independence Day. It left residents and those who went to the windward side to celebrate upset.
"Last year we had to go to Ala Moana, and it was really upsetting because we came down here like every year since I was a little kid," said Kaneohe resident Anny Moniz.
This year it was another close call. Community members chipped in $31,000, but it fell far short of the requirement. Then came a man who calls himself Uncle Kokua, a part-time Kailua resident, who donated $25,000, allowing the night sky to light up. It was a much needed boost, for the 65-year tradition that organizers thought was going to disappear.
"If you don't have fireworks for several years, people forget the tradition, and it may be lost forever. We just didn't want to see that happen," said Jana Holden with the Kailua Fireworks Organization.
But everyone pulled through, allowing for a full experience of the Fourth in Kailua. Kailua Beach Park was packed early with those trying to reserve a spot for the show.
"Fourth of July is getting everyone together and celebrating -- food, fireworks, sparklers, the whole enjoyment," said Kailua resident Ronie Carvalho.
There were paper hats passed around the park to collect funds for Kailua fireworks next year.

From Flauntme: Twilight. What is the first thing you think of when that word is mentioned? Not to mention, "Twilight return." Though the series (both books and movie) is over, I suppose some would want the forever-young, flawless skin that vampires so-called possess. As long as it doesn't include sparkles, I'm okay with that. You can probably guess what the Mizon Twilight Return Cream is supposed to do. And no, it doesn't involve any blood or super strength powers. More »
From Reelwire: A short trailer for 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' was shown during the MTV Video Music Awards this past Thursday, and now a new full-extended trailer has finally been released as well. The 2 minute 15 seconds video shows what you can expect from the final film, which will hit cinema screens on November 16th. More »

They're not the same as they were under MM, they're not as solid and don't seem as ruthless or tight knit as a group. SW showed his naivety on a few occasions last year most notably the loss at Widnes and playing te young full back in a high pressure play off game against Leeds. He also made the most obvious gaffe when talking up how tough his pack was before they played Warrington who subsequently went on to crush Wigan in the forwards.
Now he selects a bunch of kids to go to HKR and face a near on full strength SL team and when they get beat up he throws them under a bus telling every reporter who'll listen that he's furious and disappointed.

New development... My LO is 7 months and her latch is very good. However, in the past week or so, her night-latch (for dreamfeeds) has become very shallow and painful. I try re-latching her several times but it doesn't work. She's not just comfort sucking, she's actually eating (the comfort suck is very soft, so even though it's shallow it's not painful). And she takes forever to eat!
This is a big change because in the past, her dreamfeeds were actually very efficient, focused and well-latched.
Not sure what to do but I don't want to go back to sore nipples at this point in the game!
During the day her latch is as good as always, and even if she falls asleep at the breast the latch is still good. Only problem is the dreamfeed that starts when she's asleep.

The corn-field maze is cut into a 12-acre corn field using a laptop computer to link a mower with a global positioning system.
Complied by Mike Jimenez: Freedom Newspapers
Lose yourself, and maybe even your family in Lubbock beginning this weekend and running through Nov. 26. The original "Corn-field Maze" is once again ready for families and anyone with an interest in trying their best to get through 12 acres of twists and turns combined with pathways and dead-ends in an intricate pattern designed by computer.
Where is it?
The Maze at Atldo Farms is located about 100 miles away from the Clovis-Portales area, so plan approximately two hours each way. There are various towns located along the way where gas and refreshments can be obtained.
What is it?
The maze is cut into a 12-acre corn field using a laptop computer to link a mower with a global positioning system. This allows for the maze to be cut into a variety of shapes. Some fields are made to resemble an enchanted castle and Liberty Bell. In this case of the one in Lubbock, the famous Texas Tech "Masked Rider."
Operating hours and cost
The weekend hours are 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. Reservations are required on weekdays. The cost of admission is $7 for adults, $5 for children ages 5 to 12, and children under 5 are free.
What to do?
In addition to the corn maze, the Atldo Farms also has pumpkin patches, ornamental corn and gourds ready for picking. There is also a corn cannon, farm animals in the barnyard, and a hayride option.
During Holloween, the farm will host "A Field of Screams," a fund-raiser for the Children's Miracle Network.
Located within the farm area are a covered tent area, concession stand, campfires, working outhouses, working windmill and water pump.

He still won't say exactly what it was that the St. Louis coaches told him. Whatever the secret, it helped convince the Cleveland Indians that John Axford could be their closer.
Axford saved 105 games for Milwaukee from 2010-12. Last year he lost the job in early April because of a World Baseball Classic-induced dead arm, which produced a dead fastball. The Brewers traded him to the Cardinals on Aug. 30, where franchise officials told Axford that he'd been tipping his pitches for the past several years.
"The fact that their coaching staff knew, that their players knew and that they could point it out and show me on video, definitely opened my mind and I realized I needed to change a few things," Axford said.
He worked quickly to correct the problem.
"It took a little time to get used to it, but once I did, it just felt natural and everything just went from there," he said. As for what exactly was his "tell," Axford wouldn't say.
"I don't want to say exactly what it was, but there was one thing in the whole encompassing part of my motion," he said.
Axford went 1-0 with a 1.74 ERA in 13 games for the Cardinals. He was even better in the postseason, going 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA with 18 strikeouts, six walks and two earned runs in 122/3 innings.
Reds expect healthy spring training start
He won't know for sure until the physicals are complete, but Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price expects a healthy team when spring training starts.
Pitchers and catchers report on Friday. Position players report on Wednesday.
The Reds have a long list of players coming off injuries from last year: Mat Latos (elbow surgery), Jonathan Broxton (elbow surgery), Sean Marshall (shoulder), Ryan Ludwick (shoulder) and Johnny Cueto (lat strain).
"To a certain degree," Price said. "I think we're going to be fine. We may not be what you would anticipate as being ready for the first day of spring training, but I don't believe that anybody will be terribly far behind.
• Pitcher A.J. Burnett agreed to a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, a person familiar with the deal said.
• Right-hander Jose Valverde and the New York Mets agreed to a minor league contract.
• Phillies ace Cole Hamels said he won't be able to make his opening day start after feeling discomfort in his pitching arm during the offseason.

Jason Kidd has become more than just a Point guard or Shooting guard and is a new kind of player that is almost impossible to forge. A player that has no restriction in playing a position and can play any role for a team whether it be play the post, Shoot, Pick and Roll, Defend, anything we need he can provide and will do it efficiently and Crafty.
He is a hybrid of some of the most important aspects of Offense and Defense from both back court positions and fuses them to make a guy that is so valuable to any team and is the most important player on our team without having to shoot a single shot. His off the court leadership ties in to the way our team carries themselves on the court. We are now playing the way our coach and vets are teaching which goes a long way in the development of Carmelo and Jr who have both done a 360 in their quality of play. His unlimited knowledge has helped our team play professional, under control, and hard for the whole game and he will be key to Amar'e and Shump easing their way back into the chemistry of our team.
Point Guard Qualities:
1. Quickest passer in the league, He can move the ball around at a frenetic rate and find windows before they close. Also starts the chain movement of passing across the court to one another which is crucial because every point guard needs to know how to start a passing chain because you cannot always pass cross court to an open guy, so you must rely on your teammates to move the ball very quickly and J.Kidd is on of if not the best at doing this.
2. Knowing tempo, and understanding when to initiate a break and when to hold and set up a half court set. Jason Kidd rarely will be the finisher of a fast break but he will always know whether or not to start one when he has the ball. He does a great job at reading numbers and knowing if he should pass to ignite the break or give it up to Raymond to start a half court play.
3. Never in a rush to anything, does what he wants at his pace and wont be forced to panic and become nervous. He wont overreact to situations and try to pass into a bad spot or shoot too early, everything he does is at his own pace and not dictated by the other team.
4. Court Awareness and the ability to react to situations in the blink of an eye. He knows how to read various situations and has unteachable knowledge of the game. Knows when to double, knows when to go for the steals, knows when to foul and knows when to pass. All around this guy is a genius and masks his almost depleted athleticism with insane basketball knowledge which is keeping him in the league.
Shooting Guard Qualities:
1. Defending up to 3 positions. No point guard today can say they can do this at the consistency J.Kidd can. D'ing up Durant in the playoffs and playing Lebron is nothing to overlook. J Kidd has great footwork and impeccable anticipation and timing combined with a 6'4 frame and a ton of strength, this makes him a very good defender and he can hold his own on the perimeter and in the post equally as well. Combined with these qualities he has some amazingly quick hands that seem to have a mind of their own and can strip players when they try to Crossover, Spin or pass.
2. Shooting the deep ball is the lone quality that makes Kidd's career as long as it is. He is now a solid to good 3PT shooter and is great at finding the open spaces to get his shot off. Also has the awareness to draw fouls on defenders that over defend on his shot which adds to his already pretty good deep shooting threat.
3. Rebounding is a quality that has made J Kidd stand out from the rest of the elite QB's in NBA history, Besides the Big-O and Magic, there are few guards let alone PG's that rebound as well as Kidd. This quality is great for having extra possessions and grabbing the boards that our big men may miss.
4. Size is one thing that stands out when looking at Kidd, He is 6'4-6'5 and weighs about 210 pounds which alone makes him the size of a shooting guard and makes him bigger and stronger than any other Point Guard not named Deron Williams.
Jason Kidd although the stat sheet may not show, is vital to where we want to go,his leadership is extraordinary and his knowledge of the game is simply one of the best ever. In the process of going from an elite Point Guard to more of a Shooting Guard, he has made himself into a player that is not a Tweener but much more. A best of both worlds type of player that is no longer defined by position or is he restricted to one. He is now a kind of player that cant be made but has to be developed through years of experience and a true knowledge of the game, and that simply just doesn't happen often and when that player does evolve( I say evolve because of his increased knowledge) he will be highly revered by his team and will be a key chip on a championship team just like Kidd is or us. So i crown Jason Kidd's new position as "The Sensei Guard".
Kidd has been great so far. I just love his calm demenor on the court. This is something that a rookie or a player who just have been a few years in the league could not give us. I Hope he can keep it up all season.
I would rep you if i knew how to do it.


text: I've been trying to bf for 8 weeks and have had TONS of problems and been in so much pain. I've been pumping part of the time since she was 2 weeks old. And lately I've had more problems and have been having to give her more bottles and less on me. I'm trying to find someone to help me and see if I can get my problems resolved, but if they can't help, then I'd like to be able to pump enough to not have to give her formula--I really can't take the pain for much longer. Problem is I'm always pumping just enough for the next feeding. I can't ever seem to get ahead. If BF isn't an option, is there a way I can stock up a little so I always have some ready for her--and hopefully some more in reserve?

Travel information is currently disseminated to the public using venues such as Highway Advisory Radio, Dynamic Message Signs, and on other NCDOT services. The North Carolina 511 system is part of a nationwide effort to disseminate travel information to the public via another venue, the telephone. 511 in North Carolina was implemented in the summer of 2004.
511 uses an automated voice response system, which means callers are guided through a menu with a series of requests. Callers can ask for specific areas, and the system will provide information about traffic incidents, closures and other important roadway conditions.
In July of 2000, the Federal Communications Commission assigned 511 for nationwide access to travel information services. 511 is an abbreviated dialing code for travelers to access highway, multi-modal, and other pertinent travel information via landline or wireless phones. By collecting travel information, NCDOT is able to disseminate information to the public, the users of the NCDOT highway system, to assist in the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. By giving the public access to travel information like construction, incidents, traffic, and transit, the public can make educated decisions about travel times, routes, and modes.
To learn more about the 511 phone service, see our 511 FAQ.
511 Touch Tone Codes
Below are documents containing the 511 touch tone codes for all of the routes, counties, cities, and metro areas the 511 service includes:
City Touch Tone Codes
County Tone Codes
Metro / Regional Touch Tone Codes
Route / Interstate / Highway Touch Tone Codes
Below are documents containing the 511 touch tone codes for all of the routes, counties, cities, and metro areas the 511 service includes:
For both voice and touchtone:
To receive traffic information on specific roadways, use your keypad to enter the number of the roadway, then press the star (*) key.
Several North Carolina sister states have or plan to have 511 systems up and running:

About this item
This 100% touch-free trashcan helps create a germ-free, odor-free, automated environment. It keeps your hands clean while you are cooking or playing with your children. It also helps prevent contamination, which reduces the threat of certain illnesses and infections. In addition, this touchless trashcan will outlast step-on and hand-touch cans because of reduced wear and tear. This could actually be the last trash can you ever buy, saving you money, mess, time and also benefitting our planet.
This touchless, 16-gallon recycle bin has two separated eight-gallon compartments. With one compartment for trash and one for recyclable materials or one for paper and one for bottles and cans, it uses the latest sensor technology. Simply place your hand or debris about 6 inches away from the infrared sensor on top of the trash can and the lid will open automatically. The lid will remain open if debris or your hand is within the six-inch range of the infrared sensor. It will close automatically three seconds after debris has been released and your hand moves away. There are two buttons to open and close the lid manually, and an on/off switch on the back of the trash can. This trashcan can fit any regular eight or 13-gallon trash bag in each compartment. It comes with two inner plastic buckets and wheels. An optional AC power adaptor is available.

The See-Saw Ride From Hell
Have you ever noticed how a player on your favorite team seems like an Angel in the right uniform?
But when he goes to another team, he becomes the Devil. Such is the case with Rodrigo Lopez who pitched for the Phillies last year and went to the Diamondbacks for 2010. Lopez started the game against the Phillies today and pitched 6 innings, allowing 6 runs. So, while we thank him for the 6 runs, sadly, he would only have earned his wings back if he gave us about 15 runs.
Because it looked like the Phillies were going to need 15 runs to win this one. Kyle Kendrick started out pitching really well, but that only lasted 4 innings. By the 5th, Kendrick had returned to his old ways, leaving balls way up in the hitter's happy-zones and before you knew it, 5 runs had crossed the plate. Kendrick was pulled after 5 innings and his outing turned into a huge disappointment.
The offense tried to keep pace and by the top of the 6th, they had gone ahead of the D-Backs by a score of 6-5. Greg Dobbs hit a 2-run homer in the first, Ross Gload had 2 hits and an RBI and Carlos Ruiz gave them the lead with a 2-out, 2-run single.
The line-up tonight was a bit odd, with Gload and Dobbs in the 1 & 2 spots and Wilson Valdez at short stop. Juan Castro is still nursing a sore hamstring; Shane Victorino sat in order to re-group as he has not been hitting lately; and Dobbs took 3rd base for Placido Polanco. Polly has not looked the same since getting hit in the elbow with a pitch.
So if the Phillies were going to pull out a series win, they were going to have to depend on the back-up players and also hope that the pitching would hold up. The back-ups did their job; the pitchers did not.
After Kendrick's disastrous 5th inning, Danys Baez could not hold the lead. He gave up 1 run in the 7th to tie the game at 6-6. David Herdon got into trouble in the 8th; with no outs, Raul Ibanez threw a runner out going home and Ruiz held onto the ball for the out. Herndon got a second chance, but he blew it. A 1-out double scored the go-ahead run and then the hits kept coming. By the end of the inning, the Phillies were down by a score of 6-8 and only 1 inning left to get back in it.
And as expected with this suddenly unpredictable offense, the Phillies fell short in the 9th and went down 6-8. Having lost this series 1 game to 2, the Phillies have a lot of issues to address, not the least of which is starting pitching. One man does not a rotation make and Roy Halladay can only win 1 game every five days. Kendrick and Cole Hamels need to get their act together…fast. Joe Blanton and JA Happ had better get well soon and Jamie Moyer is holding his own in the 5th spot.
An even bigger issue is the bullpen; their performance has varied from inconsistent to just plain awful. A lot of the pen pitchers, like Baez, seem to have a one game on, one game off thing going on. It is like the see-saw ride from hell. You just never know which end is going to be up or down and when.
And now the Phillies are heading to San Francisco to face the Giants red-hot pitching staff. With all the injuries and inconsistent performances, the Phillies may be headed into big, big trouble. And Trouble is called Jonathan Sanchez and Tim "I have 2 Cy Youngs" Lincecum. The first game of the series starts tomorrow at 10:15pm. Bust out the bottle of Tums; this is going to be interesting.

Good luck. They whizzed us. I can't believe I'm saying this, but be glad ya don't have to face Barry Zito. Jeesh.
it looked as though they had lost interest while in AZ, the changed line up yesterday, was okay but i think the missing JRoll is a major factor…. I'm not sure Herndon is going to work out, I thought he might at first, but it seems they keep him because of the rule 5 thing, and Baez is turning into an unknown where you wouldn't want to use him in a close game… Lets hope it's more fun in San Fran and the old Phillies offense comes to life…
Phillies Outside
Good idea getting the Tums out. Facing a two time Cy Young Award winner is no picnic, but he could have an off day, right?
Your facing Sanchez (1-1) and Wellemeyer (0-3) first, so not quite as scary. Lincecum will be there the last day though, but if we only win when he's pitching, we're not gonna win that much!
I can relate. Alex Rios has some definable devil-like qualities right now. For a while, the Jays went with Halladay on 4 four days rest. That was close to the end of the year when we were in the Wildcard hunt. 2006 I believe. Then Kevin Mench pinged a ball off Halladay's leg fracturing it, and ending Halladay and Jays season in the process. Kevin Mench is the devil, even when played for the Jays later in his career.
the Phils staff stacks up a little bit better than the giants. both have fun pitchers to watch

As we get closer and closer to Sean finding "the one," the drama gets better and better. On next week's first new episode of two, YES that's right I said that correctly, there will be TWO brand news episodes of "The Bachelor" next week (AH, holy excited).
Sean and his lovely ladies head off to Montana (I can hear birds chirping, can you?…doesn't sound too exciting). Sean will have his first one on one date with Lindsay, a group date relay race (hello, this totally brings back memories of Emily's season when she had her men sail to her heart), and Sean has his first two on one date of the season! And we all know the two on one date is the best, most intense date of the season!
Lindsay finally gets to show Sean a different side to her. Ever since she came in a wedding gown on the first night, we have all seen Lindsay as this goofball. But she is more than that, or so she says. She has the chance to show Sean she is serious about finding love and she is serious about him. Will Sean believe her enough to give her the rose?
Eight bachelorettes compete in a relay race filled with canoes, wood chopping and….goats?!?! The ladies will once again be split into two teams and the winning team of course gets more time with the handsome bachelor. Or will Sean bend the rules again and will the losing team actually get time with him as well? Also, a surprise gal decides that she wants more time with Sean and shows up at the night party. Who is it? How will the girls react to this? Will Sean be upset or flattered by this bold gesture?
Tierra and Jackie have the dreaded two on one date with Sean. Jackie has made it obvious that she does not like Tierra (as well as the rest of the house) and she feels that Sean should know who Tierra really is. But will this help Jackie OR will this hurt her (hello, exhibit A, Kacie B.)? We all know Sean doesn't like the drama AND he obviously is very protective over Tierra (hello, look what he did on the group date last week)! So, who will stick around, will it be Jackie OR Tierra (yall know who I am rooting for)!
Unfortunately for Sean it looks like the drama, confusion and frustration will continue at the cocktail party. Sean even begins to question whether or not he will find love here. There will be a shocking elimination at the rose ceremony, who will be sent home?
The nine remaining women and Sean will travel to Colorado next. Will Sean be able to move past all of this? And how will these events affect Sean's feelings for the remaining bachelorettes? Make sure to tune in Tuesday night for another brand new episode of "The Bachelor." Two nights in a row ladies and gentleman, I can hardly contain myself! I know you guys are excited as me so please don't forget to tweet me @laurenjwang and hashtag it with #bachelorhi!
Interview with Selma
I had the chance to talk to Selma today and talk about a bashing Tierra session 101 (LOVED IT).
Selma had a lot to say about the drama filled bachelorette and she went on in full detail about how hard it was to retrain herself from kissing Sean!
Selma comes from a Muslim background (her Mother is a practicing Muslim but she is not) and her family asked her for one request and that was to not kiss on the show. Selma wanted to respect her culture and her family's simple request and she does not regret not kissing Sean. She doesn't think that put her at a disadvantage at all and feels that you can fall in love without kissing.
Sean chose the not so glamorous date for her and Selma was OK with that. She liked that Sean took her out of her element and "tested" her. Selma said that when she was climbing up the rock she was in survival mode and really just wanted to make it up! She said she was definitely more scared than they showed but she really wanted to prove to Sean that she was more than just a glamour girl.
Selma got along with Ashlee the best (mostly because they were the oldest in the house). Selma said that most of the girls came to her for advice and she said that all of the girls got along (well except for Tierra, surprise, surprise). She did say that everyone, including herself has been portrayed pretty accurately so far (and yes, she did say Sean is PERFECT).
The bombshell bachelorette had a lot to say about Tierra. She was not surprised by any of Tierra's actions and watching back she can't even believe she dealt with all of the drama. Selma felt that Tierra does not know how to get along with others and she said Tierra was very good at "pretending" to get along with the other girls when Sean was around. She played her cards really well and she was able to switch her craziness "on" and "off".
Selma said Sean didn't see her "craziness" because he didn't see her on a daily basis and she really did act so differently around him. She doesn't blame Sean for being "manipulated" (let's hope he sees the real Tierra soon).
Selma said that there are some amazing catches this season! She said the producers really chose a great bunch of girls for a great guy. Selma feels that Sean's connections with all of the girls are totally believable because each girl brought so much to the table. When asked who should end up with Sean, she simply said, "ME…that's my man." So, what do you guys think? Are Sean and Selma a good match?
Next Monday and Tuesday are the most drama filled episodes of the season! Just remember you have been warned, when we say drama we mean DRAMA….so make sure not to miss them!

The makers of 300: Rise of an Empire know their audience.
Like gore? Have some more. Bearded guys with perfect abs? Here by the hundreds. Motivational speeches delivered as if the film were set in a locker room? Bellow on, my friends.
The movie becomes a slave to audience expectations, which were set in stone with the 2007 release of its predecessor, 300 — based on the graphic-novel series by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley.
Part sequel and part ancillary product, Rise of an Empire takes place both before and during the previous effort. The pseudo-history lesson provides some back story to 300 while also covering subplots of the second Persian invasion of Greece (480-479 B.C.).
Two battles at sea serve as bookends for the film: Artemisium and Salamis.
Athens is torched. Sparta is weary of war and distrustful of Athenian leader Themistocles.
This isn't Greece's finest hour, as cities splinter and look after self-interests. Through voice-overs, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey, reprising her role from the first film) fills in the rest of the story.
The film centers on Themistocles (Russell Crowe look-alike Sullivan Stapleton, the only actor here who has more range than an action figure). He and his counterpart, Artemisia (Eva Green), square off as mortal enemies, with a hint of sexual tension in the mix.
Artemisia's back story is brutal; it is little wonder that she despises the Greeks and will stop at nothing to destroy every last iota of the once-great civilization.
Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) — whose history is told, too — stands by while Artemisia, a scenery-chewing machine, growls directives to the Persians.
The film meekly poses the question of whether the endless war is worthwhile but quickly dismisses such introspection in favor of a battle scene, then another, with amputated limbs gushing maroon-colored blood.
After a scant moment of mourning, the armies go at it again.
The project seems to be the creation of cocky young men who were given a pile of money and told to have fun with it — sparing no expense on computer-generated images. Every shot strives to be more dramatic than the one before, giving all scenes a numbing sameness in which nothing stands out.
Debating the half-truths and inaccuracies depicted in Rise of an Empire is pointless. (Author Miller admits he took visual liberties with the Greek costumes, emphasizing torsos over defense.)
Silliness rules — but not a silliness that might tip off viewers that the filmmakers are serving blood-splattered winks.
Zack Snyder, who directed and co-wrote the original film, serves as a writer and producer. Noam Murro directed, and his inexperience as a feature-film maker shows.
The battle scenes are the only times when one can revel in pure spectacle. Each is staged differently, with the armies using strategies that keep viewers guessing.
The finale stretches credibility past the point of no return, but at least it isn't boring.

- Title
- Impact of wave mixing of the upper ocean in climate modelling
- Author(s)
- Babanin, Alexander V.; Haus, Brian K.; Ganopolski, Andrey; Phillips, William R. C.
- Abstract
- Climate modelling, to a great extent, is based on simulating air-sea interactions at larger scales. Smallscale interactions and related phenomena, such as wind-generated waves and wave-induced turbulence are sub-grid processes for such models and therefore cannot be simulated explicitly. In the meantime, the waves play the principal role in the upper-ocean mixing. This role is usually parameterised, mostly to account for the wave-breaking turbulence and to describe downward diffusion of such turbulence. The main purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that an important physical mechanism, that is the ocean mixing due to waves, is presently missing in the climate models, whereas the effect of this mixing is significant. It is argued that the mixing role of the surface waves is not limited to the mere transfer of the wind stress and energy across the ocean interface by means of breaking and surface currents. The waves facilitate two processes in the upper ocean which can deliver turbulence to the depths of the order of 100m directly, rather than diffusing it from the surface. The first process is due to capacity of the waves to generate turbulence, unrelated to the wave breaking, at all depths where the wave orbital motion is significant. In the present paper, the concept of the wave-induced turbulence is discussed, and laboratory measurements of such turbulence are presented. The second process is Langmuir circulation, triggered by the waves. Such wave-controlled mixing should cause seasonal variations of the mixed-layer depth, which regulates the thermodynamic balance between the ocean and atmosphere. These variations are parameterised and introduced in a climate model with a purpose of reproducing the pre-industrial climate. Comparisons are conducted with the NRL global atlas, and it is shown that as a result of wave mixing meteorological extremes are significantly enhanced.
