I would like to know if pumping 3x a day for 15-20 mins each time is enough to maintain my milk supply. I also nurse my baby in the mornings, mainly because she is tired and will take to me. Thank you for your information.
I would like to know if pumping 3x a day for 15-20 mins each time is enough to maintain my milk supply. I also nurse my baby in the mornings, mainly because she is tired and will take to me. Thank you for your information.
How old is your baby? How often does baby eat? Is baby exclusively on breastmilk or is baby taking some solids?
Mom to Alyssa (11/26/05)
to maintain your supply you should pump as often as you would nurse, if LO nurses every 2 1/2 hours, pump every 2 1/2 hours, as for length of time you pump, it depends on what kind of pump you are using, best is to go until 3 or 4 min after milk stops, sometimes if you keep going for a few min after that you will get a 2nd letdown too. For example, my dd is almost 9 months, she eats every 3 hours, so when I am at work I pump every 3 hours. I use a Ameda Purely Yours double electric pump and usually can finish with 2 letdowns in about 20 min. When I used a hand pump or just do hand expression, it takes much longer (30 min each side usually).
Amanda Mom to James (2/25/04) and nursling Alice (8/24/05)
Welcome Ella Grace!
What are your nursing goals? Are you hoping to provide your baby with only breastmilk, or are you interested in feeding both formula and breastmilk? How old is your baby? Can you tell us a little more about your situation?
Hi ladies, thanks for the info. I have a six month old and I had to go back to work. I'd like to continue her on breastmilk instead of giving her formula, that's why I want to pump. I'd like to make it to at least one year. I work 9-10 hour days and nursing her during the day is not an option. I nurse her in the mornings but when I get home from work she is already in bed.
I rented a Medela Symphony pump from the hospital supply store and so far I've been able to pump about 2-3 oz from each breast at each sitting. While I was on maternity leave, she was nursing about every 3 hours or so. Sometimes every 2 1/2 hours.
I'd really like to know if pumping 3x a day is enough, right now I just don't have the time (trying to catch up at work) to pump anymore. And I have about 15-20 mins at each break to pump.
Thanks for any info.
Ella Grace, 6 mos
Also, a friend told me that there may be better breastpumps out there? I'm pretty happy with the Symphony but please let me know if there are any more efficient ones. Thanks!
Pump 4-5x per day & once during night. Start off pumping for a minimum of 10 minutes & then work your way up from there, really the idea is stimulation at this point. Once your supply is in & maintained, it may not take as long to fully express. Whether it takes you 5 minutes or 30 minutes, make sure your breasts are fully emptied before you stop pumping. It's the stimulation & actual emptying of your breasts that will bring in the supply.
How do we know when we are empty? My lo is 3 weeks and I have been pumping and nursing ... I pump 8-10 min after almost each feeding hoping to build my supply for storage ... Right now only getting 1/2-1oz per pump any advice?
It's really normal to get only 1/2 - 1 ounce per pump at the beginning. I would be cautious about pumping after every feeding at this point, it's easy to get into an oversupply problem early on. When are you going back to work, and how long will you be apart from your baby? You only need 1 - 1.5 ounces per hour apart. So if you're going to be apart for 10 hours, you need 15 ounces max. After that you pump each day for the next day. So if you get 1 ounce per day then in two weeks you have what you need. Pumping once a day after a feed, preferably in the morning when you have the most milk, is usually plenty.

Registered: 05/01/00
Posts: 3
This has been bothering me for over a year. I found a reference to this word from this source: http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict. Definition three (listed below) has a supposed quote from Kipling, although I have searched all online references of Kipling's works and cannot find the source. Has anyone ever seen another reference to this word? Does anyone know what it means? I am assuming it is some sort of animal, but searches through biological and mythological dictionaries have come up empty.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
Mill \Mill\, v. i.
1. To undergo hulling, as maize.
2. To move in a circle, as cattle upon a plain.
The deer and the pig and the nilghar were milling round and round in a circle of eight or ten miles radius. --Kipling.
3. To swim suddenly in a new direction; -- said of whales.
4. To take part in a mill; to box. [Cant]

it's a typo; the nilghai is some sort of antelope -- here's the corrected citation, from The Second Jungle Book:
The deer and the pig and the nilghai were milling round and round in a circle of eight or ten miles radius, while the Eaters of Flesh skirmished round its edge.

Depends upon how much of a Kipling fan you are, I suppose. This quote is, if I remember rightly, from 'Letting in the Jungle', where Mowgli sings his Song against Men of how the 'karela, the bitter karela' will cover their homes.
For what it's worth, karela is what we, in the UK at least, call courgettes. I couldn't stand the stuff when I lived in Inida, and I can't stand it here! Along with aubergines (egg-plant, brinjal, or baingan if you're using the Hindi), it is my least favourite vegetable.

The Shorter Oxford gives it as 'nilgai' [earlier 'nylghau'] from Sanskrit nila (blue) + gavi (cow). A large Indian antelope, the male of which is blue-grey with white markings and short horns, the female tawny and without horns.

>how on earth did you know that
must have been some sort of genetic memory.... I certainly didn't read *that much Kipling as a lad, but when I saw the citation I thought it didn't look quite right, so I started from a 'nilgh' search -- correct spelling in hand made finding the confirming citation easy. (It turns out that Kipling used the word more than once; maybe that's why it stuck.)
BTW, got any hunches as you approach the century mark?

The US for courgette is the italian "zuccini"
as you mention, aubergine is "eggplant"

Single-payer would require up to $2.18B in taxesBy Neal P. Goswami
Vermont Press Bureau | February 07,2014MONTPELIER Taxpayers will need to raise between $1.77 billion and $2.18 billion to cover the costs of Gov. Peter Shumlins proposed single-payer health care system, according to a consensus cost estimate revealed Thursday.
The consensus figures fall between the estimates of two earlier reports. An analysis by the University of Massachusetts for the Shumlin administration pegged the cost at about $1.6 billion.
A report by Avalere Health on behalf of a group of stakeholders including hospitals, doctors and business interests estimated the cost to be as high as $2.2 billion.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding, Deputy Director of Health Reform Michael Costa and Stephen Klein, chief fiscal officer with the Joint Fiscal Office, presented the latest estimate for the planned Green Mountain Care system to two House committees Thursday afternoon.
Costa said the consensus numbers are built upon assumptions in the UMass report. A number of issues need further review, however, leading to the wide range, he said.
The UMass report and the consensus cost both include an assumption that providers would be paid 105 percent of Medicare rates. Detractors say that number will have to be significantly higher or the state could lose doctors. The consensus cost will rise if lawmakers choose to pay providers more.
Meanwhile, Klein said it remains unclear whether an existing tax on medical providers will continue under the proposed single-payer system. If not, the state faces a $157 million loss of money currently relied upon. The loss of revenue from the provider tax is considered a low to moderate risk, according to a document distributed to lawmakers Thursday.
Other major factors include a reserve fund for the health care system and the costs for implementation and transitioning to the new system.
Klein told the House Health Care and House Ways and Means committees on Thursday that theres an open question of whether the system would need reserves.
If the state needs a 5 percent reserve of nonfederal costs, an additional $125 million will need to be raised.
The UMass report estimated a need for $50 million in implementation and transition funding. The consensus cost puts that as high as $150 million, however.
Where we have the most uncertainty is the implementation, start-up and transition, Klein said. Does this all just appear in 2017 or is it a multiyear transition?
Klein warned the estimates could also change significantly based on policy decisions that must be made by lawmakers.
As you do so, the costs could go higher or could go lower, Klein said. As you change policy levers the range will change dramatically.
Among the pending decisions are the setting of provider reimbursement rates, determination of the populations to be covered under the plan, benefit changes and whether workers compensation will be merged into the plan.
I would love it as you take testimony on this to start filling in these boxes, Klein said.
The total cost of the single-payer plan under the consensus figures is nearly $5.92 billion. The lions share would be covered by federal funding, however.
About $1.6 billion would come from Medicare and $1.2 billion from Medicaid funds. The state would have to gain a waiver from the federal government to secure those funds. About $267 million currently slated for tax breaks and subsidies under the federal Affordable Care Act would be absorbed into the system along with $209 million in other federal funding.
Spaulding, responding to a request from Rep. Mary Morrissey, R-Bennington, for a multiyear budget plan for the proposed system, said lawmakers can do that when they consider a financing plan next year.
We should not be looking at one year, Spaulding said. When and if, and hopefully when the General Assembly votes on a financing plan, it should be based on a three-to-five-year plan.
He also urged lawmakers to remember the estimated cost will change as legislators make changes to the administrations proposals.
Whats important here is that this range is not static, Spaulding said. We should expect it to go down, go up and change and hopefully get narrower as we go through the process together.

March 14, 2011—North Central College welcomes a return engagement of "Calculus: The Musical!"—a dynamic theatrical journey through the concepts and history of calculus with a unique, comedic approach to learning.
High school math teacher Marc Gutman of Minneapolis found that setting formulas and rules to music helped his students learn and retain tricky information. His classroom exercises became the seed for this show, which will interest middle school, high school and college-aged students and teachers.
The 2010-2011 national tour of "Calculus: The Musical!" will be performed by Know Theatre of Cincinnati with two performances at 4 and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6, in North Central's Pfeiffer Hall, 310 E. Benton Ave. The production is co-sponsored by North Central College's Cultural Events Committee and Science Division. Admission is free. However, groups of 10 or more need to contact Judy Brodhead in advance; email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 630-637-5276.
Using parodies that span genres, from light opera to hip hop, "Calculus: The Musical!" blends sketch comedy, musical theatre and classroom lecture into an engaging and educational lesson that's nothing like a high school textbook. With a unique comic style, actors Jae Boley and Sean Powell dramatize some high points of calculus' history. From Archimedes to Riemann, the quest for the instantaneous rate of change and the area under the curve comes to life through song. The Beatles, Gilbert & Sullivan, Petula Clark and even Eminem are just a few of the artists who have inspired this educational lesson.
This musical theatre production is one of many ongoing programs at North Central College to enrich and broaden the cultural and academic outlook for the College and community. For a comprehensive schedule of musical performances, theatrical productions, art exhibits and lectures, visit northcentralcollege.edu/show or call the box office at 630-637-SHOW (7469).
Founded in 1861 and celebrating its Sesquicentennial in 2011, North Central College is an independent, comprehensive college of the liberal arts and sciences that offers more than 55 undergraduate majors and graduate programming in six areas. Located in the Historic District of Naperville, Illinois—rated by Money magazine as among the nation's "Best Places to Live"—North Central College is just 30 minutes from Chicago's Loop. With more than 2,900 undergraduate and graduate students, North Central College is committed to academic excellence, a climate that emphasizes leadership, ethics, values and service, a curriculum that balances job-related knowledge with a liberal arts foundation and a caring environment with small classes.

The efficiency of power electronic systems is not solely dependent on electrical efficiency but also on weight, for example, in mobile systems. When the weight of relevant components and devices in airplanes, for instance, is reduced, fuel savings can be achieved and correspondingly greenhouse gas emissions decreased. New materials and components based on gallium nitride (GaN) can help to reduce weight and increase the efficiency. With these new materials, power electronic switches can be operated at higher switching frequency, resulting in higher power density and lower material costs.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE together with partners have investigated how these materials can be used to make power...

I don't know you, rikkitiktavi, but I lurve you because you used the word existentialReplyCancel
I guess wasted out of her mind on pot could mean: losing track of her thoughts as she speaks and stops making sense, going off on tangents that don't relate to the story, laughing at stuff only she finds amusing, eating a donut while on stage, needing to lay down because her head is spinning. Just some ideas. Not that any of these things have happened to me, mind you.ReplyCancel
I don't see the hypocrisy (sp). Smoking pot is not a sin. A lot of dudes in the Bible get totally wasted (some dude was raped by his daughters while shitfaced, and many others).ReplyCancel
@LadyH, put the bongs down! Now! You have work to do, young lady! No bongs for you!!
Edibles CAN knock you on your ass. It sent a mgr of mine to the ER because he was fat, ate two pot brownies and had never been high so didn't know how to enjoy the mellow.
However, I would categorize that as being high as hell on pot. See that little twist Entern? Talking to a church group..
I'll leave now.ReplyCancel
I could almost never "hold" my pot. I'd always get completely confused, paranoid and dumb. Sometimes sick too. I always wished I could be normal and smoke it like everyone else.ReplyCancel
Yup, I'm with Basil and Renoblondee. Weed fucks me up, and not in a good way at all. I don't care if people smoke it, but it isn't always the lightweight buzz that some make it out to be. I've personally seen a number people freak out after eating a recommended dose of edibles, just from feeling like they were much too high.
My dad and uncle were both mega hippies in the late 60's early 70's and both say the pot now is much too strong for them.ReplyCancel
LLR- especially really good weed. So much better now than back in the day.ReplyCancel
Way to call a betch out @7. LolReplyCancel
There's an expression, pick your poison. I use it as a bartender. Weed & drinks can cause different chemical reactions in people. What works for me may be poison for you. Some people can't handle weed. I started up again after quitting for a year & that first time I got high was amazeballs. It's possible.ReplyCancel
Stay away from those marijuana pills.ReplyCancel
You've made your point there, @lazy. Good shit, eh? I'm just teasin…The interface on here is the worst
Ok SO no one will read this anyways, so fuck it, here it goes: I understand that some people sometimes can get "wasted out of their minds" on some ganj. Everyone reacts differently. And yes, that's especially true today, when there are concentrates hitting the market that are clocking in at THC levels in the 80% ranges.
But this blind is bullshit and here is why. Homegirl whoever she is, was NOT wasted out of her mind on JUST pot. What kind of person goes to speak at a huge event- let alone a faith based one- high? Not a recreational user lacking a tolerance. I can bet you dollars to donuts it's someone who is a very chronic user, so to speak. If you are not a regular smoker, no way in hell you're going to want to "take some pot" right before a big public engagement. Either this blind is total trash or she was crossfaded on some other shit. Celebs love their pills these days…ReplyCancel

General Snowmobile Information
Snowmobile Trails
Indiana Snowmobile Trails are provided through the cooperation of local snowmobile clubs, the Indiana Snowmobilers Association, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
The snowmobile trails are open in December, January, February, and March when snow conditions are adequate and the trails are posted as "open." There are trailheads at each trail for parking vehicles and trailers. Only registered snowmobiles may be used on the trails. Snowmobiles must be provided by trail users as there are no places to rent snowmobiles in Indiana. The Department of Natural Resources' Indiana Snowmobile Trails Program is completely funded by snowmobile registration fees; law enforcement activities, including the Snowmobile Safety Course, are also funded by the registration fees.

Flares (Flair?) for the Dramatic
The minute that my exam finished, I was so happy. The main reason being that I could finally get back to watching baseball. The fact that the Red Sox won the night before my exam, and the night of, really helps seal the deal for me. I mean, besides the fact that I forgot to mention the cotton gin in my DBQ (about the expansion of slavery), I think I did fine.

Welcome back🙂 I think you're right about pretty much everything! Johan, Greinke, Zimmerman, Pujols. All off to crazy starts. For me, Pujols and Johan are your 2 big stars of the league this year. Another frustrating Mets loss today, but I'm staying positive. We played some good stuff, just lacked that final push. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
Glad your finals are over and welcome back! The Red Sox have been doing great! Big Papi's troubles are concerning. And I can't wait for Youk & Dustin to get back in the lineup.
You must be so happy to be done with finals and able to watch baseball, Elizabeth. Naps are a good idea before the West Coast games. For me, those games are perfect because they start at 7 p.m. out here, but I remember my East Coast days when I'd be fighting to stay awake until the bitter end.
I'm sure you kicked some face on your finals. As for Big Papi, can't do a whole lot right now, I've got Garrett Atkins to deal with, he's my priority case.😉
One thing the Red Sox know and know well is: DRAMA. My god, they kill me with their DRAMA on a weekly basis. ENOUGH!
Welcome back and great entry! Sounds like things are going pretty well. I loved Masterson's quote. That was pretty funny🙂
Welcome back. I still remember the feeling once I took my last exam. Free time to do all the things we misss because of school. I hope big Pai's first homerun will be a special one. My James Loney hit hist first one last night for a 3 run HR!
I just had to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. You have quite a talent for writing and you sure know your baseball! I'm proud of you girl!
I'm avid Yankee fan, but love to see passion from other fans of baseball.
You keep reaching for your dreams! Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. You will be an awesome analyst one day, and who knows, maybe you'll be sitting beside me on MLB Network! I love that channel, too!
Keep writing and keep lovin on your team-us die hards don't let anyone deter us from lovin our teams!
Glad you can finally relax Elizabeth, but don't go mixin anything in that coffee of yours for west coast games just because of it : )
Awh, you named your post after my blog and linked me! [gracias], lolz..
Oh jeez.. I feel for you.. those DBQ's were hellish little ********..
Them Rays turning out to be some little devils too eh? Lol..
I'm glad soon school will be over and I also will have much more time.
p.s. I hate hate hate hate J-Bay.. just sayin' =)
p.p.s. Hosting an in-gamer tonight.. know your guys have a day off.. feel free to stop by and root for the Orioles, lol😉
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
I miss that phenomenal feeling of finishing AP tests. I don't miss the preparation leading up to them.🙂
I miss the sight of a David Ortiz blast and don't care for the talk about his possible ster**d use, but understand it's the nature we live in.
Welcome back to blogging and not examining. If that makes sence. It was a rough road trip, but now we take it home for a few games. Yippee!!!
Big Papi finally got one im new to being a sox fan J Bay pulled me over and now im hooked Lets Go SOX
Congrats on your #.5 ranking! Good to see you're surviving school. I for one am SO GLAD we DFAed Lopez. Any other team that wants him can have him!
Hope to see you on Brownie Points! I'll continue to check in from time to time. Take care, Elizabeth!
By the way, I still love your photo with Pesky!🙂

A year ago we put up a couple of bluebird nest boxes at NRPA headquarters. I have often thought that the landscaped grounds around HQ were perfect habitat for Eastern bluebirds, and that if we put up nest boxes in the right locations that we could attract a pair of bluebirds to nest in them. Bluebirds are a highly threatened songbird species that is in need of conservation. So, it has been with considerable pleasure that we have been able to watch a pair of bluebirds raise and fledge five young this spring from a box in the memorial tree grove. And to add to our wildlife viewing enjoyment, this week baby tree swallows hatched in a second nest box located just behind the building along the trail around the pond.
The baby tree swallows that just hatched a couple of days ago are very tiny and nestled deep in a finely crafted nest of dried pine needles topped with an insulating ring of feathers. The babies are fuzzy little nestlings who have not quite opened their eyes yet, but they will grow fast. Even so, until they become large enough to fly from the box on their own in about 16 to 18 days, they will be totally dependent on their parents to bring them food and to keep them warm and dry during rainy days and cool nights. The nest box will become crowded as the young ones double and then even triple in size before they finally leave the nest.
Tree swallows are one of five species of swallows commonly found in the Eastern U.S. (and are closely related to the barn swallows that also build their nests at the NRPA headquarters on ledges under the eaves of the roof). Tree swallows are migratory--they winter in Mexico and Central America, and return to the U.S. and Canada each spring to build a nest in natural cavities and man-made nest boxes. They generally nest close to water's edge near a pond, lake or marsh, and they will even nest directly over water if there is a suitable nest site. Tree swallows primarily eat mosquitoes, but they also consume other insects as well as berries from plants such as Virginia creeper, red cedar, and bayberry.
All swallows are beneficial to man, but tree swallows have a special grace in flight that make them a welcome addition to any pond or wetland.
Like many other cavity-nesting songbirds in the Eastern U.S., tree swallows have declined in numbers due to loss of habitat, competition from non-native species, and lack of suitable nest sites. The good news is that tree swallows, bluebirds, chickadees, titmice and other cavity nesting songbirds will all nest readily in man-made nest boxes. Volunteer conservation efforts are restoring these valuable species across their range, especially in parks and on public lands.
Has your agency done any similar conservation projects such as man-made nest boxes? What are some of your success? Share with us in the comments below or send us some photos via Facebook!
For more information on how you can identify suitable habitat, build nest boxes for tree swallows and bluebirds, and attract them to your parks, visit the website of the North American Bluebird Society or that of the National Wildlife Federation.

The room was dimly lit. Men in suits circled around us, quietly greeting the 20 or so visitors patiently sitting in chairs. Wine was served, and we were repeatedly told, in hushed tones, to relax. A television screen flashed in front of us and a phrase kept repeating itself: "Energy. Impact. Change." A man with a camera conspicuously hid in the corner, snapping pictures. "Nice group of people," a man behind me whispered. I was taking notes, and I'm pretty sure the man was trying to peer over my shoulder to see what I was writing. When I noticed, he quickly turned away.
What had I gotten myself into?
Even though the event was advertised as a performance, and I was aware that actors surrounded me, paranoia still crept in. "The Lost Children," a transmedia project by Mark Harris held Tuesday evening at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, puts the audience through a series of exercises stemming from a fake group called URLIFE (Universal Radical Life Improvement for Everyone), a fictional self-help organization that promises to aid "travelers and seekers" in finding their "true potential." URLIFE's doctrine is an amalgamation of ideas ranging from L. Ron Hubbard to Carl Sagan, combining psychotherapy with crackpot space theories. The idea of the performance was to break the audience down and push the limits of what was real and what was fantasy – the more time you spent in a small room with the group, the more you agreed to participate in their exercises, the more that line became blurred.
The first scenario was a recruitment seminar kicked of by Chance Sturges, the self-appointed leader of URLIFE. A middle-aged bald man with a soul patch, he glided around the room commenting on the beauty of the universe with an occasional dramatic pause for effect. He then led us in a chant that became a familiar one throughout the night: "We are one," repeated over and over again.
In the next room, a faculty member of Columbia University's Astronomy Outreach program was giving a lecture about comets, meant to provide a contradictory position to what the members of URLIFE were preaching. Tellingly, when I peaked in the lecture hall, there were only two or three people sitting down. Everyone was more interested in the seminar, the wine, and "reaching their potential," I suppose.
Next up was Kate, a struggling writer who told the group her story of waiting tables, being poor, and struggling with writer's block. She invited people up to participate in breathing exercises, complementing them through the process. Kate would eventually pull me aside and invite me to experience the next level of the URLIFE experience. That was how I got roped into to something called "advanced study."
Kate walked me outside the conference room and sat me down on a bench nearby. Completely ignoring the boundaries of personal space typically observed by strangers (but "we aren't strangers," would have been the argument if I'd raised the point, because "we are one"), Kate and I got very close – basically face to face – while she made me rub a pendant that was around her neck. It was uncomfortable. This exercise was supposed to align our psychic energies, or something to that effect, while Kate tapped into what she claimed to be the things inside me that were blocking me from reaching my full potential. I was smart, she said (thanks Kate!), but not happy and wanted more with my life. She told me I was a charismatic leader in a past life, but I was looking for some guidance in this life. Wait, I thought this was all fake?
Significantly freaked out, I was not invited for further advanced testing, which, based on the recollection of another audience member I spoke to, involved drinking a mysterious juice (shades of Heaven's Gate) and getting a Tarot-like card reading.
Next, participants were ushered into a theater for a screening of a film called "Lost Children," about a woman named Evelyn Hamilton, a member of URLIFE who disappeared under unusual circumstances, and a "cult deprogrammer" named Jared Allen Tyler. The film, at different points, asked the audience members if they believed what they were just shown and then proceeded down different paths, choose-your-own-adventure style, depending on the answers. Presented as a documentary, it offered a brief and disturbing history of Chance Sturges, the man we met earlier in the night, and focused on the Tyler's crusade to find Hamilton and rid her of the brainwashing she incurred at the hands of URLIFE. The film forced the audience to question our own acceptance of what we had participated in during the first part of the seminar.
Then the lights came up and, in a way, the curtain was raised. Harris, the creator of the entire project, came out on stage and answered questions as all the actors sat in the audience around us. He said he was interested in the immersive qualities of the project, and how, when forced to enter an environment instead of just watching a film as a distanced observer, people become more wrapped up in the questions he sought to raise about faith and reason, fantasy and reality. But I left with only one question, ultimately: what was the point?
If it was to cause me to continuously look over my shoulder for the rest of the night, then they succeeded.

The average cost for a Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Replacement is between $111 and $199. Labor costs are estimated between $79 and $100 while parts are priced between $32 and $99. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Replacement Cost for Ford Escape
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Replacement Estimate (National Average)
When replacing the engine coolant temperature sensor, always use a factory part, clean all the connections, and ensure that the entire cooling system is in good working order with fresh, clean coolant.
When the engine coolant temperature sensor is defective, the vehicle may be hard to start and/or get poor fuel economy. Also, a defective coolant sensor will not signal the power train control module (PCM) to operate the cooling fans, which may cause the vehicle to overheat.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a fault code set for the engine coolant temperature sensor.
An engine coolant temperature sensor code is not always caused by a defective sensor. It can be triggered by a defective thermostat, defective wiring, rusty coolant, or by a plugged or restricted radiator.

A woman in her 50's suffered life-threatening injuries Tuesday afternoon after crashing head-on into an SUV on Diamond Head Road.
According to traffic officials, the woman, believed to be visiting from California, was riding with her family when she lost control of her moped and crashed into an SUV driving in the opposite direction.
The crash happened near 3500 Diamond Head Road, in between the scenic lookouts around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Traffic investigators believe that strong winds may have contributed to woman loosing control.
Apparently, the driver of the SUV saw the woman losing control and reduced her speed to avoid a collision. That driver was not injured in the crash.
The female moped rider was taken to Queen's Medical Center in critical condition.
She was not wearing a helmet.

Miranda Kerr Goes Topless For Esquire UK's 'Sexiest Woman Alive 2012' Photo Shoot
Miranda Kerr sizzles in a new photoshoot for the December issue of Esquire UK magazine. Orlando Bloom's wife can be seen topless and showing plenty of skin in the "Women We Love" feature.
The Victoria's Secret Angel was named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive 2012 for the UK version of the magazine, an honor that went to Mila Kunis in the US
"I believe in celebrating the female figure and embracing what we've been given," she tells Esquire. "We always have so much fun when we shoot and my temperament's flirtatious, so it's second nature to me."
The top model also says she's a tomboy at heart and "must have been a koala" in a past life.
"I spent my childhood outdoors on my grandparents' farm. I learned to ride a motorbike when I was about six, a little PeeWee 50," she says. "I'd climb trees - there was a big weeping willow. We had a [zip-line]. I was so fortunate to grow up like that."

Yes, Jackson Hole is famous for a reason: pounding tram lap after tram lap will leave your quads suffering and your heart begging for more. But, if you want to avoid the crowds and ski a resort that's a little less aggro, head over Teton Pass to Grand Targhee. The resort has free parking, a small base village, and enough vertical, cliff drops, and tree stashes to keep you happy all day long. Plus, the lift lines are short, the locals are friendly, and the beer and Wydaho Nachos at the Trap Bar are worth the trip alone. http://www.grandtarghee.com/

Those differences were major DAntoni wanted to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Nets for Deron Williams. So reports David Aldridge of TNT and NBA.com.DAntoni, the source said, had been advocating that the Knicks attempt to trade Anthony to the New Jersey Nets for guard Deron Williams, a deal DAntoni believed would be beneficial for both franchises. But Dolan categorically declined that request, and the conflicting visions between the owner and head coach about Anthony meant there was no way forward.
DAntoni had hoped the Knicks inspired and winning play with Lin as the centerpiece while Anthony and Stoudemire were injured would convince Dolan the Knicks could win without Anthony.
Full article covers more.
...and what would all the Lin bandwagon fans have thought of that? I say it's a bs story with no truth to it.
Makes sense.
Which is why Dolan wouldn't have entertained it.
Who knows. The crux of this entire situation is obvious.
There is
D'antoni + The Team (+ those fans who support D'antoni)
Dolan + Melo (+ those fans who support these two, or support them by virtue of blind hatred against D'antoni)
I'd pull that trade without second thought
holy ****.. i'd take deron in a heart beat. fuk dolan i hate that piece of ****. if i ever see him i will spit in his face
Dolan is a jackass, Melo sucks this year and trading him for Deron would be freakin awesome... But MDA needed to go.
Well Melo isn't getting any plays drawn up for him come the Olympics
the idea is nice, but why would the nets want to help the knicks at all? also, why would the nets want to inherit melo after all this drama?
it was a nice thought, but it wouldn't have happened
I would gladly trade Melo and Lin for Deron Williams in a heartbeat.
Mike D'Antoni could probably win 60 games with a Deron-Amar'e pick and roll, that's probably why he wanted that trade.
I'll take Melo thanks
I would have done that trade in a heartbeat!!

Interdealers try on the exchange business for size
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, stock exchanges should feel flattered.
As part of the G20's agenda to prevent another financial crisis, over-the-counter derivatives, which are currently traded over the phone by interdealer brokers, are to be forced onto electronic trading platforms where regulators think they can keep a better eye on what's going on.
These new platforms, many of which are being operated by interdealer brokers, are rapidly blurring the lines between these firms and stock exchanges.
The issue has been brought into the foreground through transactions such as Icap's acquisition of junior stock exchange Plus Markets Group in 2012, and Nasdaq OMX's purchase of BGC Partners' US Treasuries platform named eSpeed last year.
Amid a first quarter slump in fixed income, currency and commodity trading, which is hitting interdealer brokers hard, it looks increasingly possible that one might be snapped up by an exchange.
"The lines between the interdealer broker and the exchange business models are blurring so much that the next logical step is further consolidation between the two," said Dominic Lowres, head of trading at London-based investment bank Liberum.
The industry has been here before. During the summer of 2006, Icap held talks with the London Stock Exchange over a merger that would have created a £6 billion all-British super exchange. But Michael Spencer, Icap's chief executive, called off the negotiations over price, reportedly believing the LSE was overpriced.
Since then the landscape has shifted. Among the changes: brokers have been required to make substantial investments in electronic trading, at a time when their core broking businesses are flagging.
Between 2010 and 2013, Icap's technology spend gradually rose from 11% to 13% of revenue.
London-based international broker Tullett Prebon said in its 2012 annual report that its "regulatory readiness" project alone, which focuses on new electronic platforms and associated technology infrastructure and compliance resources, had cost 1% of total revenue. It rose to 2.5% in 2013, with the company saying that it will likely need to spend that much each year for the forseeable future.
Both firms recently reported slumping activity in their core businesses. Icap
said last week that revenues in its global broking division declined 14% during February and March, compared with the same two months last year. Last month, Tullett Prebon reported a 12% drop in its broking revenues during January and February, again compared with the same two months the previous year.
Analysts at Liberum have calculated that profit per staff member fell by 33% at Icap between 2009 and 2013, and by 39% at Tullett Prebon.
Impact on shares
The results have hit share prices. Interdealer brokers are currently trading at around nine to twelve times their 2015 earnings, while exchanges are north of 15 times.
"Clearly the relative ratings of the two groups suggest that exchanges would be the buyers – not to mention that the exchange's balance sheets are bigger," said a London-based M&A banker.
Speaking after Icap issued a trading statement last week (see report below), Spencer said the outlook for the global broking business would remain "complex and challenging" and that Icap is likely to target new types of investors in the future.
He said: "The diminution of risk capability and marketmaking capability at the sellside will mean the buyside will now need to look at other ways of executing and finding liquidity. This will offer another opportunity which hitherto has not been open to us."
These moves mark a significant shift in the landscape. Until now, interdealer brokers have sat between the biggest banks on complex derivatives. The extent to which they have competed directly with these banks has been minimal. But capital constraints on the sellside and the growth of the brokers' own electronic platforms have meant they are stepping on the toes of their biggest customers more.
As they do so, they are aligning themselves more, and competing more, with exchanges, analysts say. Some point to last year's acquisition of BGC's eSpeed platform by Nasdaq OMX as evidence of the growing convergence between the two and that interest is likely to intensify as regulations pit the two into more direct competition.
According to Joe Noviello, who oversees eSpeed for Nasdaq OMX, eSpeed "did not reach its full potential" as part of interdealer broker BGC Partners because of conflicts within the organisation.
Noviello said: "We can grow eSpeed at Nasdaq without the conflicts that we came up against operating within an interdealer broker. A large portion of liquidity in the fixed income market is controlled by voice brokers. It is challenging to bring electronification and efficiencies to those markets when that means you are really disintermediating your own employees."
The London Stock Exchange's growing fixed income business, MTS, is another example of an exchange investing to move into a space once held by interdealer brokers. MTS's platform trades interest rate swaps, repos and fixed income rates. MTS's automated settlement network allows trades to clear through LCH.Clearnet, also owned by the LSE. So far, the volumes on the MTS platform are small compared with the large interdealer brokers, but trading on the LSE's bond markets rose by 46% in the 11 months ending February 28.
But even with heavy investment, neither interdealer brokers nor exchanges are in a position to simply offer their competitors' products on their existing platforms. Exchanges have the upper hand in terms of fulfilling central clearing and trade reporting requirements. The brokers' strengths lie in voice-broking desks that can execute trades in the over-the-counter markets that are so long-dated that the costs of clearing are prohibitive, or that are not standardised well enough to change hands solely electronically.
"We know where the bodies are buried, so we can find more buyers and sellers and execute with less risk of moving the price," said one senior interdealer executive.
This will continue to be an advantage, but in a narrower range of situations, as regulation pushes volumes onto electronic platforms.
Newly created types of products often change hands using a combination of voice and electronic dealing. Since exchanges lack voice capabilities, this also means the interdealer brokers will not be cut out entirely. "Combining voice and electronic methods is particularly important early in the product life cycle – at first a product is new and illiquid, but as it gets more popular the contract becomes standardised, prompting more liquidity and, in some cases, the chance to trade electronically," said David Clark, chairman of the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association.
However, while the integration of voice brokers into exchange groups has been the main barrier to mergers both culturally and because of the negative effect on margins, it is less a stumbling block than it was.
"The challenge represented by an exchange managing voice brokers has always been a significant impediment to mergers. Regulations are causing a dislocation that makes the stakes so much higher that the exchanges might now be prepared to revisit the idea," said Jake Pugh, a London-based market infrastructure consultant.

text: How can you not love big bouncy curls… at least for those epic 20 minutes they typically last!? I know we all swoon and pin the hair we see in old photographs of Brigitte Bardot + Rita Hayworth, and even more modern manes via Victoria's Secret and Gucci runways. They all share one voluminous secret– a good set. It's something we rarely do anymore because we just can't seem to find the time. The thing is, just like anything else in life, if you want that hair you're gonna have to work for it. Here's my favorite way to incorporate an old-fashioned roller set into a 2012 way of life: (more…)

Anyone else grow up going to MCL cafeteria as a treat? This was a rare occasion, but when it happened there was one classic menu item I never could get enough of. Whipped cream, mandarine oranges, pineapple chunks, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut made into the most addicting sweet salad out there…at least in my opinion :) After discovering the homemade honey marshmallow I had to make my own version! I skipped some of the ingredients out of preference, but feel free to mix it up how you like. Just thinking about this recipe makes my mouth water!
Whipped Orange Salad
3 cups coconut milk fat (4 cans)
2 Tablespoon honey
honey marshmallows
3 navel oranges
Blend coconut milk fat and honey in a high speed blender. Once blended to the point that the ingredients separate, keep blending until combined, and refrigerate 12 hours.
In a mixing bowl fold cubed honey marshmallows and oranges slices into the whipped coconut cream. Enjoy!

Great service from the Tariq and the guys at Fenham Garage. Small problem (washers) turned into a big job due to the placement of the washer bottle behind the wheel arch! Tariq showed me the issue, explained what was required, the parts he would use and kept me informed throughout. Cheers guys
Price was as quoted, really good, would use again
Good job of servicing, the guys were helpful with advice (but not pushing for more work), also checked other things about the car that I was worried about and put my mind to ease. Glad to use them again!
The guys did a good job of replacing the timing belt - even though they admitted that there was more work than expected (and it took longer in the day), the price was left the same.
Excellent service i'll definitely be back. The puncture could not be fixed due to its position as expected but I had requested a specific tyre encase it needed replaced which was waiting for me on arrival at the cheapest price around. Full turnaround time of under 30mins. Brilliant service highly recommend!
Excellent service will be using again
Excellent all round service for the price. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
They quoted a price and apart from a faulty head light which had to be added,;that's the price I paid. Collected and dropped off my car - great price, great job, great garage.
They actually charged me less then the quote as the brake fluid did not need changed. The guys at the garage were great, definitely will use them again
Excellent service thank you.
Great service friendly staff kept upto date with what they needed too great 5star service thanks northeast garages
Excellent customer service and great price. Really friendly staff too ! I had a first full service and would recommend this garage. The £89 cost included oil & filter, all checks and vat.
Quick and efficient. Reasonable price! Helpful and pleasant services.
Price was same as estimated which was good. Service book stamped and talked through minor issues.
Brilliant price and job done as per expectation!
The supplier Premier Care centre were fantastic, very efficient on the initial enquiry, booked me in as early as possible with a realistic date, collected my car and carried out the service as requested along with full diagnostic check. The did a very thorough job and inspection on the car, they rectified my cold start problem with a small part from main dealers and also fitted a replacement fuel filter in addition as requested.the car was returned to me exactly as stated and has been absolutely perfect since.
I had a great experience with this garage and the staff were super friendly and even managed to book me in on Christmas Eve!They made my car feel alive again and for this i will go going back there again very soon!

Had problems but resolved quickly
was good and honest, unfortunately the car was a scrapper and the cost was more than the whole thing was worth Thanks
Terrible, awful, Time waster just a few words to describe this service/mechanic. Used this site for convenience, I posted a job and accepted this quote as it was really good. Car was booked in, well arranged to collect as its an internet based service, in reality this means you have no idea where your car goes or who to contact as the numbers provided are never answered, guess what no ones shows up. Managed to get hold of the person who arranged this only to be told that the part was not available and he would collect four days later on Saturday morning , bank Holiday weekend, suprise suprise after cancelling my plans to have the work done nobody shows up to collect the car. Emails sent, voice messages left to no reply. Customer left in limbo. Please avoid using Mac the Clutch. Your much better off avoiding and looking for a mechanic yourself.
Cheers lads, thanks for your time today, I was given wrong information regarding the belt. Nice genuine guys didn't charge which is a bonus, just gutted about your diagnosis. Would defo use again.
First class clutch replacement by Alan. Collected the car first thing and returned it to the door with clutch replaced and feeling like a brand new car. I couldn't believe such a competitive estimate. Nice to see integrity and good workmanship these days. I will be definitely be calling on Alan again in the future - First Class customer service.

Digging in for Weight Loss
By Health Day
If you're looking for a way to get in shape this spring and summer, here's a power-packed activity that may surprise you Ð try community gardening!
That's right, research shows people who join in the fun of community gardening have much lower body mass index and are the recipients of social, physical and nutritional benefits. Researchers measured the BMI of community gardeners in Salt Lake City, Utah, gauging their odds of being overweight or obese. They then compared those results with similar data from three control groups.
Bottom line, women community gardeners had an average BMI that was nearly two points lower than their non-gardening neighbors That translates into an 11-pound weight difference for a woman 5 feet 5 inches tall. For men, the BMI was nearly two and a half points lower compared to non-gardeners a difference of 16 pounds for a guy 5 feet 10 inches tall.
Overall, gardeners were less likely to be overweight or obese.
The researchers say these results show that community gardens are a valuable tool that can be used to promote healthier living.

|Title: Chronic Wasting Disease: Control of Food Products and Cosmetics Derived From Exposed Animal Populations
|Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to prohibit the use of cervids (deer, elk) for food, including dietary supplements, and cosmetics if the cervids have been exposed to chronic wasting disease (CWD). FDA is proposing this regulation because of potential risks to health. CWD is a type of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), a group of fatal, neurodegenerative diseases that include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, scrapie in sheep and goats, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans. The disease has been identified in wild and farmed elk and wild deer populations. CWD has been found in cervid populations in certain areas of Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, New Mexico, Minnesota, and Canada. In 1999, the World Health Organization said there is no evidence that CWD transmits to humans. However, it also suggested any part of a deer or elk believed to be diseased should not be eaten. Results of some studies using in vitro techniques have suggested that transmission to humans could possibly occur. However, if it does occur, it is likely to be through a very inefficient process. Currently, there are no validated analytical tests to identify animals in the preclinical phase of CWD, or any other TSE. In addition, no test exists to ensure food safety. CWD typically exhibits a long incubation period, during which time animals appear normal but are potentially infectious. Therefore, FDA is proposing to require that food or cosmetic products derived from animals exposed to CWD not enter into commerce.

Grads told 'hard work can get you far'
ELDRED, NY — "Time heals all wounds" was the message proclaimed by guest speaker Roger Bisland as he stood before the crowd that had assembled on the front lawn of Eldred Central School (ECS) on June 23rd, 2012. The junior senior high school was about to present its newest graduates, the phenomenal seniors, to a realistic world in which graduation is only a milestone and the opportunity to graduate is a continual life process.
The graduating students were now prepared to accept the challenges of a future on their own. Duos of mutually blended genders interlocked arms, and descended the steps of their Alma matter to the traditional melody of "Pomp and Circumstance," followed by the singing of the National Anthem by the senior members of the chorus.
High School principal, Scott Krebs, welcomed the rapidly arriving family members, friends, and faculty along with the graduates. Krebs presented a short and inspirational speech relating his experiences and those he's shared with the students throughout the past year. Krebs concluded his remarks by stating, "I am proud to have been your principal." He then invited guest speaker Roger Bisland to the podium for his address to the graduating class.
Roger Bisland, an alumnus from ECS addressed the graduates with his speech relating that faith in others can help in resolving the greatest of issues or troubles. Bisland emphasized that one simple four letter word can change everything, and that word is "help." He stressed the benefits of attending a smaller school and how it has its advantages, and how all should aspire to continue growing. Bisland stated, "Move forward and aspire to have a never give up attitude, but work hard and show respect and always offer to help!" As his motivating speech came to an end the students rose in applause and Bisland reminded them one more time that, "Hard work can get you far."
Throughout the ceremony, various awards were presented to numerous members of the graduating class for their achievements. Barb Thompson awarded the Academic Achievement Award to Rebecca Schadt followed by Bonnie Robertson's induction into the ECS Hall of Fame. Robertson's induction was a result of her numerous achievements throughout the community and her generosity towards the students of Eldred Central School.
The Valedictorian, Erika Bowring opted not make a speech; however, Christine Donnelly read the student address with a smile representing the joy felt by all of her classmates. Fellow student, Hunter Proscia, added a humorous element to the ECS ceremony shortly after, when he led the graduating body in "the wave" demonstrating that the seniors had become a family, and their conjoined humor had illuminated this brilliantly. Every award given was well earned and when the ceremony concluded, 61 diplomas had been presented.
As the graduates threw their caps into the air, eager to begin a new journey, their eyes portrayed memories of their past. The graduating class moves on to grow and prosper throughout their future lives, but they will always be recognized as the 2012 graduates of the Eldred Central High School.

Great service. I will recommended this service to my fiends and family.
Hi good garage staff really friendly and helpful done an good job on my wheels and while you wait they offer a service to lakeside which is free of charge
Everything was fine
I would have no hesitation in recommending this garage. Don't be put off the surrounding area. The garage is as spotless as a garage could be. Customer service was superb. It was a bit of a distance for me to travel, but I will definitely be a returning customer. This is a company with integrity that is after customer satisfaction and not in it to rip you off.
Highly recommended.
Very professional garage ..Recomanded A ++++
Excellent comms and service. Quick to answer/return calls, kept up to date in all matters, always felt that I was getting 5* service. Had a small problem (squeal/rubbing noise) which they resolved quickly. Fully recommended.
