After 5 1/2 weeks of exclusively pumping (well - she nursed for the first 4 days and then suddenly started refusing-I think nipple confusion was the culprit) she decided to nurse again!!!! I am still in shock - I hadn't even tried for the last 2 weeks!! Thursday night I was sooooooo tired & she woke up at midnight, 2, 4:30 and again at 6, so at 6 I told her (as if she could understand ) that if she was hungry, she was going to nurse, b/c I was NOT getting out of bed again. And holy crap she did! And she's been nursing ever since!!!!!!!!!!!
The hard part is, I am sooooooooooooooooooooo engorged, b/c I was pumping nearly 50 oz. a day & now, obviously, she drinks half of that. I'm finally down to making it through the day though without having to pump some off, it's first thing in the morning I have to deal with...
Anyway - i just wanted to say - if you are struggling and you have the energy to pump, stick with it. I NEVER thought she would nurse (I've seen THREE LC's with no luck) and now she pops on like she's done this whole time. I do remember one LC telling me that some babies will nurse after a month or so once their mouth develops a little bit. I guess she mayhave been right. It's crazy!
Good luck! And keep with it!

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's president has denied a tweet by Justin Bieber saying the singer met with the president and his family prior to a show.
It was the latest sour note in Bieber's controversy-filled Latin American tour.
President Enrique Pena Nieto's office put out a tweet late yesterday that read "@Presidenciamx denies meeting between President @EPN with the singer @justinbieber."
That was a response to a tweet from Bieber's official account saying "just met some amazing mexican beliebers and the presidente of mexico and his familia."
The 19-year-old pop sensation faces two criminal complaints and demands for refunds in Argentina, in addition to trouble with police for allegedly spraying graffiti in Brazil.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Why didin't Kakashi killed Obito with Chidori or Raikairi when Kakashi was on obito's ms dimension? I wonder.............
Cause he's not strong enough mentally after having to stand over Rin's grave because of his own hands. Despite Obito being the way he is now, Kakashi doesn't want to do that again. That's my opinion anyways.
I wondered the same, but people were saying it's because Kakashi didn't want to kill him.
Seems plausible.
Kakashi is too naive.
bc kishi wanted obito to summon the ten tailed obviously
because he just wants to stop him and hear his story IMO

its a way of saying to naruto that kakashi is still alive in the other dimension... its a interesting way... haha
because he needed all the chakra to get back from the other dimension using kamui.
Originally Posted by DeadManWonderLand

But Kyuubi gave him some chakra.
Kakashi could have killed him. Would have been the most rational thing to do. It's not that he wanted to hear his story or that he was too soft... Kakashi proiritizes. Obito is dangerous nd poses a threat, Kakashi would put him down in a moment's notice... As to why he didnt kill him? Ask Kishimoto, that was a troll on his behalf.
Because searchbar

First of all... No, He replenished his chakra completely, Kakashi could have cut Obito right down the middle with his lightening blade. Or even stab him to death with a kunai. Dnt be ridiculous.
Plot. Shows Obito will betray madara IMO

Something old, something new; A country house lovingly restored
Jan said she doesn't usually have a vision for a house. Her first aim is to open and brighten up a space, and then to look at it as a blank canvas and discover the taste of the customer. Later, there will be a drawing, but Jan said she doesn't like to make the drawings set in stone, because once you have a feeling of what's in the space, there are always changes to make along the way. "It's really an improvisational creation," she said. "It's like jazz music. Since I used to be a musician, I can swing with that; no pun intended."

Obama has left his mark
A feature of the Barack Obama era has been the preponderance of bumper stickers still hailing the President. Some you can notice are as far back as 2008 vintage. My usual practice is to remove strips immediately after the election and usually only the supporters of the losing candidate keep them on.
They are a reminder that despite Obama's current problems there are those that stand by his views. More than any candidate in memory, Obama has stood as a unique force. In many cases his campaigns have assumed the character of a movement representing almost a cultural rather than a political cause. For an incumbent he still appeals to the faithful, which is unusual for a President finishing five years in office.
Throughout his relatively short time on the political stage, Obama has had an iconic presence. From his speech in 2004 from the Fleet Center to his second inaugural, he has represented a profound change in attitudes and a radical cultural shift.
Indeed the agenda of "social liberals" has nearly been realized in its totality. Gay marriage, considered as electorally toxic to all that embraced it, has broken through in a profound way. From the repudiation of "don't ask don't tell" to the Supreme Court decision against the Defense of Marriage Act, state after state has capitulated.
With the addition of New Mexico and Utah, the list gets longer. These were done without approval from the state legislations – because the Supreme Court was comprehensive in its decision. Wonder why Chris Christie folded his hand in New Jersey? Because his lawyers recognized reality.
Much of this is because Obama's justice department gave no aid to states opposing gay marriage, and the first blow against the military, to abandoning DOMA. The President displayed a subtleness unappreciated by his critics. Like Abraham Lincoln, who saw first slavery outlawed in the District of Columbia in April 1862 – before engaging in the Emancipation push. Finally he got a 13th amendment outlawing slavery altogether.
Add on some shifts in how the government handles the economy from industrial policy to healthcare and once more Obama's hidden hand comes into play. Let the chirping birds in the broadcast media talk about a failed presidency, although they should know better. Unlike Bill Clinton, whose proudest achievement was survival, Obama has left a mark.
Perhaps the reason Obama never receives quite his due credit is that some progressives have their minds in another time. This is not the industrial age of steel and steam, it is a time of technology. "Shovel ready" and the picture of blue collar sleeves rolled up is not the reality of America in 2014. Obama has changed the face of the United States in a profound fashion.
For a man who has allegedly not seen his potential realized, Obama has done plenty. The traditional family right has been crushed, with the crusade against abortion as their only issue. The record is clear but the critics drone on.

March 19, 2010: Take an exhilarating ride through the Orion Nebula, a vast star-making factory 1,500 light-years away. Swoop through Orion's giant canyon of gas and dust. Fly past behemoth stars whose brilliant light illuminates and energizes the entire cloudy region. Zoom by dusty tadpole-shaped objects that are fledgling solar systems. This virtual space journey isn't the latest video game but one of several groundbreaking astronomy visualizations created by specialists at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, the science operations center for NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
The cinematic space odysseys are part of the new Imax film "Hubble 3D," which opens today at select Imax theaters worldwide. The 43-minute movie chronicles the 20-year life of Hubble and includes highlights from the May 2009 servicing mission to the Earth-orbiting observatory, with footage taken by the astronauts. The giant-screen film showcases some of Hubble's breathtaking iconic pictures, such as the Eagle Nebula's "Pillars of Creation," as well as stunning views taken by the newly installed Wide Field Camera 3.See the rest:

Yesterday, we alerted our readers to our work with Trans Youth Family Allies in responding to a reprehensible May 28 segment on the Rob, Arnie & Dawn in the Morning radio show. The show is heard in Sacramento, California on KRXQ 98.5FM and Reno, Nevada on KDOT 104.5FM. You can find our original blog post about the defamatory comments here.
In a vile diatribe, radio show hosts Rob Williams and Arnie States spent more than a half hour making highly offensive comments about transgender children when discussing a recent story about a transgender child and her parents' decision to support her transition in Omaha, NE.
The two hosts encouraged child abuse as a so-called "cure" for their gender identity with even one host later suggesting shock therapy. You can listen to the entire segment here.
Yesterday, we reached out to KRXQ management to raise our deepest concerns and demand an apology for the radio broadcast. We not only called, but also emailed the KRXQ General Manager, John Geary.
GLAAD received a reply from Mr. Geary on Tuesday, June 2 at 9:21am EST.
He wrote:
I was out of the office yesterday, so I have yet to hear the segment in question. Let me review it and get back to you later today. Thanks. - John
After waiting for hours with no response, GLAAD issued a Call to Action demanding the radio hosts to apologize for encouraging violence against transgender children.
Because of the many supporters who reach out to the station and hosts, we received a phone call from John Geary at 5:00pm EST today. Geary let us us know that he took our concerns seriously and he claimed to have read all of the emails sent to him about the radio segment.
Geary also told us that the hosts plan to address this issue in the 7:00am PST (10:00am EST) hour on their Wednesday, June 3 broadcast (listen live here).
GLAAD has sent over key resources on transgender issues to inform the radio hosts on what kinds of obstacles transgender people face.
Rob Williams and Arnie States have become active contributors to a vicious cycle of ill-informed and cruel rhetoric. Such hateful speech has already shown its devastating effects on transgender people and the communities they belong to.
In 2008 alone, the Transgender Day of Remembrance reported 21 murders of transgender and gender non-conforming people, including:
- January 21, 2008: Adolphus Simmons, 18, (Charleston, SC) who was gunned down while taking out the trash;
- February 10, 2008: Sanesha Stewart (Bronx, NY), stabbed by an acquaintance and left to die alone in her apartment;
- February 12, 2008: Lawrence King, 15, (Oxnard, CA) shot in the head by a 14 year old fellow classmate
- February 22, 2008: Simmie Williams, 17, (Fort Lauderdale, FL) who was shot an dkilled; no arrests have been made;
- July 1, 2008: Ebony Whitaker, 20, (Memphis, TN) who was shot near a daycare center; no arrests have been made;
- July 21, 2008: Angie Zepata, 18, (Greeley, CO) who was beaten to death in her own apartment with a fire extinguisher;
- August 20, 2008: Nakhia Williams, 29, (Louisville, KY) who died 10 days after she was shot and beaten by a group of people outside her apartment;
- September 21, 2008: Ruby Molina, 22, (Sacramento, CA) who was found dead in the American River by fishermen in September;
- November 9, 2008: Duanna Johnson, 42, (Memphis, TN) who was shot to death just weeks ago by unidentified assailants on Nov. 9 after making news earlier when she was beaten by police officers in February. Johnson's lawsuit against the city of Memphis was still pending at the time of her murder.
- November 14, 2008: Lateisha "Teish" Cannon, 22, (Syracuse, NY) who was shot inside her car with her brother and friend;
- December 26, 2008: Taysia "Taysha" Elzy, 34, (Indianapolis, IN) who was shot and killed along with her boyfriend.
In 2007, the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Projects (NCAVP) reported that 16% of their overall reports were motivated by anti-transgender bias, and that 231 transgender women filed reports of violence. Since violence is often underreported, and the identities of transgender murder victims often misreported, there is no way to know accurate numbers.
It should also be noted the Human Rights Campaign estimates that transgender Americans face a one-in-12 change of being murdered. Statistics from the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) show that in schools 14.2% of transgender students report being physically assaulted as a result of their gender expression, while 30.4% experienced physical harassment.
We hope Rob Williams and Arnie States consider these important and sobering pieces of information when addressing the issue tomorrow.
GLAAD will be monitoring tomorrow's response by the hosts. Please continue to check back for any possible updates or alerts on this developing story.

June 1, 2011 —
Sirens sounded in the Town of Highland on May 25, no doubt stirring memories of the sirens signaling the horrific events of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center in New York City. This time, the crowd clustered at the town hall in Eldred awaited the arrival of the first World Trade Center artifact to be awarded in Sullivan County.
Representatives from the Town of Highland picked up the artifact at Kennedy Airport that morning. It was brought to the town hall by an honor guard of fire, police and ambulance service providers and unveiled for the crowd. The transport was coordinated by Bill Hofaker and Norm Sutherland.
The town was awarded the artifact from the NY-NJ Port Authority in response to a request made by supervisor Andy Boyar in January 2010 on the advice of his friend Mauro Giuffrida.
A citizens committee will work on the creation of a monument to be erected at the Highland Town Hall with a target date of September 11. The project will be funded by donations and with donated labor and services. A not-for-profit corporation has been chartered as the "Town of Highland World Trade Center Memorial Fund, Inc." for purposes of receiving donations, which can be mailed to Dept. 911, Box 91, Eldred, NY 12732.
The monument will be a gift to the town from the people, according to Boyar. It will especially recognize "emergency service providers, past, present and future and the heroes of 911."
The town is looking for volunteers to help in many areas, including construction of monument footings, moving the existing monuments and restoring them, creation of a site with benches and plantings, installation of a new flag pole and other improvements. The goal is to make Monument Park a special place for quiet contemplation and respect for those who have served or now serve.
A brief ceremony followed the unveiling of the artifact, during which Boyar thanked the many individuals involved so far. "This is a project of and by the people of Highland," Boyar told the crowd. "It will be a gift to the town from the people of the town as a memorial, but also a celebration of life and country."
The project will feature a story board where people can share their memories and thoughts. Boyar relayed several of his own, including an account of a family friend who was a firefighter lieutenant. Although off-duty that day, Boyar's friend headed for the site to help, even commandeering a grocery truck to get to the scene. Once there, he borrowed turnout gear and was seen at the collapse of the first building and later seen helping people get out of the second tower, which collapsed on him. "That's why we build a monument," said Boyar. "We all have our reasons. This is going to be a people's project where we tell our stories."
Boyar said the town is really coming together around the project and encouraged everyone to get involved. "We'll need lots of help, so let us know what you can do." Contact Boyar at 845/557-8901 for more information. Visit

Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Bad
Most celebrities have had "a little work done" over the course of their careers, going for the usual nip here or tuck there to improve their appearance and keep themselves looking youthful enough to keep landing the big roles; and then there are the few dozen who have taken cosmetic surgery procedures to their most extreme.
Take former Dead or Alive singer Pete Burns, for instance. Known in the early 80s for his flamboyant, androgynous appearance, Burns has undergone several cosmetic surgeries -- likening them to simply "buying a new sofa" and saying it's something he'll always keep doing because it's no different than people just rearranging or redecorating their living room every once in a while.
He may enjoy it, but the rest of us see something a bit unnatural, to say the least.
The singer even had his own show in his native England: "Pete Burns' Cosmetic Surgery Nightmares."
Like Burns, the work done on some stars is obvious, while others it's not, but it's there.
"Vertigo" star Kim Novak (above), 81, ironically presented the 2014 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature to Disney's "Frozen," and prompted more discussions about her plastic surgery than the film's big win.
Reality star Heidi Montag had 10 procedures -- including gargantuan breast implants -- done in one sitting. She may have enhanced her body a bit, but she completely changed the way she looks.
Stars like Meg Ryan plumped their lips (for no clear reason), giving themselves permanent "trout pouts"; while others -- like Priscilla Presley and Mickey Rourke -- have made their faces, like Burns, a bit "puffy."
And 80s teen star Jennifer Grey, known for her distinct nose, disappeared for years before returning to TV after a rhinoplasty. While her procedure technically wasn't a disaster, it made her almost completely unrecognizable. While stars who've had all the facelifts and botox injections may look different than they did years or decades ago, we still recognize them. Not so with Grey though.
Those of us who have followed the careers of these stars for years or decades have only one question now: "What happened?"
Check out these stars and more who have taken too much of a liking to going under the knife...

Note: Firm is out of business. Do not use these products. Please discard or destroy these products.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Bonavita, Babi Italia and ISSI Drop-Side Cribs
Units: About 306,000
Manufacturer: LaJobi Inc., of Cranbury, N.J.
Hazard: The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC and LaJobi have received 40 reports of drop sides that detached or malfunctioned. In one incident, a child fell out of the crib when the drop side detached and sustained a bruise.
Description: This recall involves all models of Bonavita, Babi Italia and ISSI drop-side cribs manufactured by LaJobi. The cribs have drop-side hardware that contains metal or plastic pegs that are recessed into either the drop side or the headboard and footboard of the crib. A label on the headboard of the crib identifies the manufacturer as LaJobi.
Sold at: Children's product stores and various other retailers nationwide from May 1999 through May 2009 for between $300 and $430.
Manufactured in: China, Italy, Vietnam, Thailand and the United States
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact LaJobi for a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. In the meantime, find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age.
Note: More information about the special industry program to provide free immobilization kits.
Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers. Age is factor in the safety of any crib. At a minimum, CPSC staff recommends that you not use a crib that is older than 10 years. Many older cribs may not meet current voluntary standards and can have numerous safety problems.
Visit CPSC's Crib Information Center for more information on Crib Safety and Recalls.

I need help, please. Last week I had a nipple blister, which caused a plugged duct. I popped it with a needle (sterilized with alcohol). The plug went away and the spot on the nipple healed with some hurting, but I was able to nurse on that side the whole time. Well, for some reason, on Wednesday I got a plug again, same site, so I was scrutinizing my nip a bit to see if there was a blister again. Although it's hard to believe, I probably wasn't gentle enough, and/or the hurt spot last time hadn't healed 100%, OR it's this cold weather (which give me several cracks on my hand), the spot became open again in the form of a crack (no blister) (~ 2mm long, 2/3mm wide). The plug is now gone, and the wound on my nipple doesn't seem infected, but it hurts sooooo bad when I nurse on that side.
So my question is, should I stop nursing on that side to allow the wound to heal? Or is it okay to keep nursing (even though less) on that side, and it wouldn't really affect the healing process? (It HURTS, but I would also hate to lose supply on that side through not nursing.)
Also, I apply Lansinoh cream when I'm not nursing. Anything else (natural remedies preferred) I can do to help speed the healing?
Thanks so much and I can't wait for some replies!

Agustín García Calvo (Zamora, Spain, Oct. 15, 1926 — Zamora, Spain, 1 Nov. 2012)
Philologist, philosopher, writer, lifelong rebel, revolutionary and comrade, Agustín García Calvo was expelled by the Francoist authorities from his chair of Classical Languages at Madrid University for his support of the nascent student anti-Francoist movement in 1964-1965. In 1967 he was, perhaps, the leading light in the formation of the 'Acratas', an important Spanish anarchist student grouping that was part of the Europe-wide radical and revolutionary movement of the time. Nor did Garcia Calvo confine himself to the role of thinker, speaker and writer — he was also an activist prepared to put himself on the line. In the early 1970s he was an important liaison between the 'Angry Brigade', the 'First of May Group' (Grupo Primero de Mayo) and other European anti-Francoist/anti-capitalist action groups operating at the time and in this role was investigated as a 'revolutionary facilitator' by both the Metropolitan Police Special Branch (as it then was) and the French Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire (DST). In 1971 our imprint 'Simian' published his reflections and speculations on the nature of the 1960s/'70s' student revolt under the title 'On How The Student Movement Is Re-Absorbed' (original title 'De los modos de integración del pronunciamento estudantil'). (A fuller appreciation by Octavio Alberola follows)

This is just plain dumb, Blizz should go back to designing seperate 10 and 25 man content with appropriate gear drops in each. Unless the increased number of items per boss in 25 mans is way more than 2.5 times that of 10 mans, which I doubt, 25 mans will be pointless unless they stick in some cool 25 man achievement rewards which again I doubt.
So all in all 25 man raids will be gone, considering quitting after 5 years now

Sunday Series: Baseball Fast Movers–Home Run for the Red Sox
Baseball is America's pastime–so it's only appropriate that we looked at the fastest growing baseball sites on the unofficial first weekend of summer! Baseball Enthusiast sites had 20 million Unique Visitors (UVs) in April at the start of the season. The start of baseball season attracted more attention this year; monthly traffic was up 13% over April 2012. More people did not just visit baseball sites but also spent more time on them.

The Filibuster
As of this morning, the NL Central had three teams ten games
over 500 while the NL West leader is barely at .500!
If the playoffs started right now, one superior team would be completely
left out while one mediocre team would get to compete for the World
Series title. Should Major League
Baseball reexamine the playoff structure so that it actually sends the 4 best
teams from each league to the playoffs?
If so, how would you propose this be done?
— Jeff
Ever since 1969, when MLB first started using a playoff system to determine who would play for the World Series, purists have decried the vulgarization of the sport. And when the playoff system was expanded even further in 1994 so more teams could be involved, the old-timers cried themselves to sleep, I'm sure. However, as anyone who follows this blog is aware, I am not one to yearn for the good ol' days. Baseball is entertainment and as such, it exists to make money. More teams in the playoffs means more money for the sport which means better facilities and the ongoing vitality of the game. But, there are downsides.
And the system could stand some revamping. As you point out, if the playoffs started today, a mediocre team would be in while an excellent team would be watching from home. On top of that, when you realize that due to the arbitrary makeup of the leagues a good team in a bad division has a much better chance at making the playoffs than an excellent team in a very competitive division, well, you can see how this creates a recipe for disaster. But the situation is not unprecedented.
Each year the BCS picks the two best teams in the nation to go at it in the National Championship game but every year controversy surrounds the pick. A two-loss LSU team gets in over a undefeated Hawaii squad? Yeah, LSU is better but they lost a couple games. And how are they better than a 2-loss Georgia team that went out and destroyed that undefeated Hawaii team?
NCAA football at least has a system that tries to take everything into account when deciding who will play in the championship. MLB randomly assigned teams to leagues and divisions and then wonders why people complain when a sub-par Cubs squad makes it in while a decent Padres team sits back in San Diego wondering how it all went wrong.
Suggestions exist for how the situation could be improved and it's no surprise that Billy Beane would be putting it out there (scroll down to the very last item in the article). I don't agree with both of his points because I don't necessarily think the Division series' need to be expanded but a new seeding format couldn't hurt.
However, the likelihood of things changing soon is pretty small. If anything, maybe they'll try to do like the NFL and expand the playoffs a little but it sure won't be in a way that makes sense. What matters to the owners is that MLB continues to make money and teams like Boston, the Yankees and the Cubs that maximize MLB's return on their investment continue to make it in. That's just how it is.
Now, on a side note, a specter came back to haunt me today that now firmly roots me in the anti Cubs camp. As I was watching the scroll at the bottom of the screen on ESPN, a familiar name popped out at me. The man who got the save for Chicago today? Samardzija. Now, that's not a name you see every day and the only other time I've ever heard it was was in reference to a receiver for the University of Notre Dame. And it's the same guy. I'm sorry but I just can't stand by as the Irish invade everything. Fighting Irish, that is. It's bad enough that I have to accept them in the NFL but now they're showing up in MLB as well? No, that's just too far. And so to the Cubs and GM Jim Hendry I say, "Get thee behind me, Satan." Just had to get that out there. I feel much better now.

I completely and totally agree with that it should be by record. Billy Beane may be a bit different, but you have to appreciate him as a baseball man.
This is a difficult situation for the team that actually is better, but is in a very competitive division. However, any system that we use will have flaws. No matter how you look at it. You can't please everyone, because not everyone's team can make the playoffs. However, even in the current situation with the NL Central, I think it makes the teams play harder. There are 2 spots and 3 teams. Instead of taking a day off or resting some simple ache, players will play through it. Everyone will be the Cal Ripken Jr. and Lou Gehrig that we love to adore. Last years run by the Rockies to make the playoffs was unbelievable and goes to show you what can happen when a team clicks and is playing at their full potential. This is a great game and reaches its full potential as it reaches September and in to October. Heres to the Cubs slumping, the Cardinals surging and the Yankees and Red Sox falling towards the bottom of the standings.
Nice Post! Check out my latest snagging post. I got a big name autograph. ICHIRO!!!!

"Vampires," the ambitious new Stage 2 production from Shadowbox Live, seems like a big departure for the troupe, which jettisons the usual comedy for two hours of hard rock and dance numbers.
Shadowbox regulars are used to seeing dance routines woven into a segment of the sketch shows, but there's something different about the way they all swirl together as "Vampires" unfolds. Dance numbers in this show tend to blend together because there's no narrative to hold them together. It seems like a missed opportunity to tell a story with "Vampires"; instead, the audience sees a series of incongruent dances.
That's not to say that "Vampires" isn't an engaging and imaginative show.
Leah Haviland's take on Nine Inch Nails' "The Only Time" is one of the show's standout numbers. In the dark and intense number, vampire dancers revel in a church as a priest and nun try to scare them away.
The other standout is a version of Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited," sung by Noelle Grandison. The dance is led by Katy Psenicka (who is also Shadowbox's choreographer) playing the Countess Bathory, a 16th century Hungarian royal accused of murdering hundreds of servant girls. In "Vampires," the Countess continues her killing spree, offing a few more victims in a haunting performance.
Other highlights include Jamie Barrow and Nikki Fagin performing "Pardon Me" by Incubus; JT Walker III performing "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult; and Stev Guyer performing "Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails.

This hearing discussed the possibility of establishing an organization in East Asia similar to the OSCE, in order to increase cooperation and improve regional security. Witnesses cited curbing North Korea's nuclear ambitions, which have been condemned by Japan, China and South Korea, as a primary goal for such an organization. Witnesses also suggested that an OSCE-like mechanism could be used to mediate air security zone disagreements and regional maritime issues.

Asparagus and Shrimp with Penne Pasta
Prep: 15 min
Total: 27 min
Servings: 6 servings, about 1-1/2 cups each
What you need:
1 bunch (1 lb.) asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup prepared GOOD SEASONS Garlic & Herb Dressing Mix, divided
1 lb. cleaned medium shrimp
1 large red pepper, cut into thin strips
2 cups penne pasta or ziti pasta, uncooked
1 pkg. (4 oz.) ATHENOS Traditional Feta Cheese
Make Asparagus and Shrimp with Penne Pasta
COOK asparagus in 1 Tbsp. of the prepared dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add shrimp and red pepper; cover. Cook 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
MEANWHILE, cook pasta as directed on package.
DRAIN pasta; place in large serving bowl. Add remaining dressing, asparagus mixture and cheese; toss lightly. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Kraft Kitchen Tips:
HEALTHY LIVING Looking to include more whole grains in your diet? Then use whole-wheat pasta in this Greek-inspired meal.
STORAGE KNOW HOW Stand fresh asparagus spears upright in a container filled with about 1 inch of water. Cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
SHRIMP SIZES The size of a shrimp is indicated by the count or number of shrimp per pound. The smaller the number, the larger the shrimp. Shrimp size terminology varies from place to place, so the count is the most accurate way to call for shrimp in a recipe. A basic guideline is: 11 to 15 is jumbo; 16 to 20 is extra large; 21 to 30 is large; 31 to 35 is medium and 36 to 45 is small.

George West is picked to finish third in the district while Mathis is pegged to take fourth and San Antonio Brooks is predicted to finish fifth.
The Tigers open the season Aug. 29 at home against the Victoria St. Joseph Flyers.

Another Happ-Y Day
Even though there is still a lot of baseball left to play, JA Happ is definitely making a case for Rookie of the Year. Tonight, he took the Phillies through 7 solid innings of 1 run ball. This win gives him a record of 10-2 on the year plus an outstanding ERA of 2.59. Happ is the first rookie of the year to reach 10 wins even after starting his year in the bullpen – amazing. If I could reach through the TV and bear hug him, I totally would. He has made a lot of Phillies fan very, very Happ-Y this year!
Chase Utley added to the happiness in the 6th inning when he finally got the Phillies on the board with a 2-run homer. Until that moment, the offense was shut down by Tim Redding of the Mets in his 5 innings of work; Redding is a very below average pitcher but every time he faces the Phillies, he looks like a Cy Young candidate. Thank goodness Redding is old and can't get much past 5 innings, because he is a Phillies nightmare.
After the Utley bomb, Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz went back to back with doubles to score one more run. The final RBI came off a sac fly from Carlos Ruiz.
Hoping for a small amount of redemption, Brad Lidge was given yet another save opportunity in the 9th inning. He struck out the first batter he faced to notch his 700th career strikeout, and get off to a good start. The next batter grounded out and the final batter struck out for #701. That's right Phillies fans – Lidge saved a game and did it without a base runner! Is this a sign of things to come? Let us hope so.
We now go from 2 night games with the Mets in which the Phillies are 1-1, to 2 day games starting tomorrow at 1:10pm. Pedro Martinez will face his old team for the first time and face Oliver Perez of the Mets. After Martinez had a rain shortened outing his last time out, this is going to be a big game for him on a number of levels. Good luck to him!

Great poing on the ROY. I don't think that there are many other guys out there who are as deserving as Happ is for the ROY. He is dominant. His record is solid. And he seems to put out a good outing 99% of the time. He is definitely worthy.
Happ is doing well. There is still one month of regular season play but his record looks fantastic.
And how are you doing?

Just one of those Twilight obsessed supposedly adults. Have just recently found the guts to try and write something of her own.
Whenever people have something to say about my spelling or grammar or what not I will shamelessly use my English-isn't-my-native-language-I-only-learned-it-at school -card. At the same time I hypocritically despise poorly written fics - the plot has to be truly captivating to get me if the spelling is poor.
I live in UK but I'm not British.
I love TwiFics with canon pairings and I'm especially fond of fics with VampEdward and human Bella. That being said, my all-time favourite TwiFic is all-human story Wide Awake by AngstGoddess003. It's best there is, really. Hands down.
I wanted to be an author when I was a child - instead I became a nurse. The second best option, I suppose.

High court affirms sentence in Bethel deathBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | June 22,2013MONTPELIER Vermonts highest court affirmed a minimum 14-year prison sentence Friday for a man convicted in the 2004 death of his ex-wife, rejecting his claims that he should have been allowed to testify about her propensity for violence.
In its decision, the Vermont Supreme Court affirmed a lower courts sentence of William Al Kimmick and said that court had heard sufficient details about how Kathryn Kimmick was prone to alcohol-fueled violent outbursts.
The lower court expressly recognized that petitioner had committed the offense while the victim was drunk and armed with a knife, and that theirs had been a particularly volatile relationship, the Supreme Court wrote.
But the lower court rejected that was reason enough for a lighter sentence and criticized Kimmick for appearing to blame the victim, the ruling said.
The Supreme Court ruling came as part of a response to a petition that Kimmick, now 44, had filed. He had argued that his attorney provided ineffective legal advice because the attorney would not allow Kimmick to testify about his wifes behavior.
The body of Kathryn Kimmick, 41, was found frozen in a car outside her Bethel apartment on Jan. 23, 2004. It was estimated she had died three days before. An autopsy found she died of a blow, or blows, to the head. William Kimmick has said she attacked him with a knife beforehand.
William Kimmick fled to Taiwan after her death, but he surrendered to authorities there after his passport was revoked and returned to the United States.
Kimmick was charged with second-degree murder, but in the fall of 2004 he agreed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter.
In 2007, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction.
The next year, acting as his own lawyer, Kimmick filed the petition, arguing his attorney threatened to withdraw from the case if Kimmick testified about his late ex-wifes history of violence.
Kimmick is being held at the Northern State Correctional Facility in Newport. He is scheduled for release in 2018.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

FOG Causing Primary Clarifier Failures(5)
I manage a large treatment plant in Virginia Beach VA. This plant has a large service area, very concentrated household and resaurant/hotel waste, and a very long travel time up to 3 days to get to the plant. All flow is conveyed via force mains. From Mid April through November we have a problem with very thick floating sceptic greasey scum in our primary clarifiers; that if not continuously manually skimmed, will cover the clarifier and completely overwhelm the scum collection system and cause the solids collection flights/chain to jump its guide sprockets and derail in the clarifier.
I am trying to contact other plants that might have this same problem and hopefully learn a few successful ways to either prevent this from happening or actually remove the greasey scum automatically without a lot of manual labor.

Keith Arnold, Beeville's Chamber of Commerce director, said about Summerfest, "I think the management of the event and everything went really, really well.
"I think the groups were good, and I'm very positive about the experience we provided for people via the committee and via the volunteers that made it work."
Summerfest took place over two nights with Friday being Tejano night and featuring locals Luna y Sol Mariachi, Rick Trevino and Siggno.
Tejano night also brought in a record attendance for the event.
"It was higher on Friday night than it had been," Arnold added. "It's the fifth year, and it was the highest Friday night they've had.
"Traditionally, Saturday nights have been the higher (turnout) of the two, but Saturday night dropped off."
Saturday was Texas Country night and featured the Dave Ruckus Band, Cory Morrow and Pat Green as the headliner.
And even though the crowd wasn't as big as the previous Summerfests, everyone who attended had a great time, and there was plenty of dancing in the dirt during the bands' performances.
"It was successful from the standpoint of the quality of the entertainment, the presentation and the way everything was handled management wise.
"I was pleased to be a part of it, and the chamber was, too."
The two-day event went off and ended without any problems as well.
"I was around it most of the weekend, and I talked to everyone, and no one indicated any problems whatsoever, so that's good news," Arnold said with a laugh.
"If everyone went away feeling like they had a lot of quality for the $12 or $15 ticket, which I sincerely feel like they did, it'll build from word of mouth for whatever we do.
"We always want to make it good for the community as well as for outsiders coming in.
"Orlando Vasquez manages the event real well. All the groups were happy; we had nothing but good relationships with all the performers that were there and their managers as well."
Soon the committee again will sit down and begin planning next year's event, and possibly add Winterfest to the Chamber's list of fun-filled events.
"Overall, I have to say that we're happy with the quality of what we presented, and we look to build on our promotional opportunities for the future for whatever we do.
"There will be a discussion about Summerfest; there will be a discussion about Winterfest, but initially we're not ready to talk about either one just yet."
They do need to rest after all. It was a fun, yet tiring weekend for all who enjoyed the music and excitement.

White Lights or Multicolored? How Light Color Choices Affect Your Décor
It's truly a sight to behold when your Christmas tree, ornaments and lights just naturally come together. It does take a bit of work to make it look great, but it's definitely worth it in the end!
For now, let's focus on your light color choices (still an ongoing decorating debate!) – White versus multicolored lights.
- White Lights: White lights are often viewed as elegant and sophisticated. They can be used in a single color palette, like white on white or gold on gold. Remember that metallic colors work especially well with white lights. As a neutral color, white lights can also serve as a backdrop for other, bolder colors. For example, strands of white Christmas lights can be complemented with single-color ornaments in red, gold, green or blue. A unique and fun color to try this year is pink!
- Multicolored Lights: Multicolored Christmas lights are seen as festive and magical. A good rule of thumb with a colorful palette like this would be stick to around three to four basic colors. Once you've chosen your color palette, you can mix and match your ornaments! Try combining pieces like stars, ribbons, beads and ball ornaments in different textures, sizes and shapes.
If you do decide to go full throttle, I won't stop you! You can incorporate themes like Candyland, Toy Kingdom and Americana (or even Hello Kitty?). The point is to have fun and go with what makes you feel festive. Happy decorating!by

Phillies Phantasy Phlashback 1986!
It never ceases to amaze me what I can find on YouTube. This is an absolute gem… a PG-13/R-rated video recap of the 1986 Phillies Dream Week (what the camp was originally known as). Other than the new digs at the Carpenter Complex and the uniforms, this video could have been filmed last year (although I would love it if they outfitted us with those maroon ensembles). It's incredible how they have kept this exact vibe going all these years, complete with the good-natured ribbing and salty language. This is a must view.
Back to the present… Crossing Broad featured this mini-documentary about Phillies PA announcer Dan Baker. Easily one of the top highlights of my two trips to Phantasy Camp has been hearing Mr. Baker announce my name over the PA of Bright House Field and Citizens Bank Park.
The chills that ran down my spine actually hurt.

Lambasting the knocks like clockwork, even while we perform and show contrary evidence to said hate?
Sounds like Sir Charles reads a lot of KO. We know he isn't always smart enough to find inspiration on his own.
These talking heads on TNT talk a lot of **** about the Knicks. Kerr, i imagine, because he thinks Amar'e is overrated and wouldn't give him the contract and hates to see his new team succeeding. And Barkley because he is a complete idiot.
How do these guys qualify as experts? Barkley is so stupid it hurts my head every time he talks. The guy is borderline retarded. His approach to everything is "TALK NOW, THINK SOMETIME WHEN I"M DEAD" He was the same way on the court and used his size and athleticism to win matchups, rather then making smart plays.
I guess it's his inciting remarks that get viewers, kind of like the "Don Cherry" of basketball, with a lot less respect from his peers and a lot less knowledge of his game of choice.
Either way, they lambasted the knicks throughout the night even though we were destroying the bulls. The first half was all knicks and still they could only find time to talk about noah and rose during the halftime show.
Lambasting the knocks like clockwork, even while we perform and show contrary evidence to said hate?

the two turds are doing it because when they were in Phoenix, the Suns organization brainwashed them to hate the Knicks Barkley after the 1993 brawl and Kerr with management and their disgust for Dantoni.
image courtesy amareisreal
watching the pregame and in game analysis was a Rose suckoff. and then Barkley saying the knicks "suck" at half time made me laugh the way the media hates on us is ridiculous loll. but no worries, i just wonder what they'll be saying about us when were playing on TNT in the playoffs in april.
Kerr is just tight about his situation with the Suns so its expected he'd hate on the knicks. loll.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
seriously!!! i mean, they were just blowing hot air about rose the entire game and then when taj gibson was playing very well for the bulls, they were like "if that was boozer it'd be a more defensive game and the knicks would be losing"
HOW??? we SHOT THE 3 BALL Boozer isn't a great perimiter defender, maybe if we were killing them in the paint, but come ON!!! it's like they just play fantasy basketball now and don't actually have to pay attention to whats going on. they'll just jock miami and any other "hot" team cause they lack actual analyical skill!
i'd take eric snow on my show over any of these guys. he's a knowledgeable former playmaker with great networking skills and a flair for actually doing his homework on a game. atleast he analyises a game in front of him and doesn't just chalk it up to what amounts to random ****, while blowing off the losing teams "star" players.
Hey guys. I'm new to the forum but have been a lurker for the longest time without a code name.
I know what you mean about Barkley & Kerr. Like what does Kerr know about basketball besides being in the shadow of a legend...Jordan.
Barkley on the other hand is a complete "Knuckle-head".
He flat out said that the knicks are not a good time. These pcs of shyte announcers need be fired & replaced with guys like Clyde.
Kerr and Barkley are two guys that don't like the Knicks...move on, these guys are dicks
Charles Barkley has always been known as one that jocks the best players and teams in the NBA but bad mouths, overlooks and discredits the underdogs.The man gets paid to spew negativity even if it's nonsensical.He's like that judge from American Idol whose opinions are highly touted by many due to his sincerity; hence why T-mobile chose him to be in their Fave Five promo.I'm surprised he hasn't been offered a job as a judge for Dancing with the Stars.
I remember him calling the Celtics a mediocre basketball team during Kevin Garnett's first season with them.He said they weren't a good defensive team but had defensively good players and that they weren't going to go deep in the playoffs.After the Celtics won their last championship, he quickly jumped on their bandwagon and only had positive things to say about them until after the 2008-09 Season.Once he was off the Celtic bandwagon he reverted back to despising them.
He was also on the Dallas Maverick bandwagon during the 2006-07 Season and had the Mavericks cake walking through the playoffs that year.But after they were eliminated by the Golden State Warriors (another team that Barkley gave no credit to) he forgot about their existence.He fleetingly rejoined their bandwagon last season right after they made that blockbuster trade with the Washington Wizards.But now sees them as irrelevant due to their inability of getting past the first round.
I never took Charles Barkley seriously.He's is a joke of an analyst, a sorry excuse of an actor, and was an above average NBA player throughout his career.It's ironic how he says that teams coached by Mike D'antoni play a sissy brand of basketball yet he was a player that played a sissy brand of defense.I doubt that if he were to play in this era he would lead a team towards a championship.As a player, the guy was closer to Zach Randolph than he was to an NBA great.He thinks that just because his Phoenix Suns took the Bulls to 6 games in the '93 NBA Finals that he was a tad below Michael Jordan in terms of overall talent yet guys like Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp and Karl Malone helped their teams take the Bulls to 6 games and they aren't even mentioned in the same conversation as Jordan.
Even if the Knicks win 60 games this Season, Barkley will continue to be their greatest adversary because he is still mourning inside from how the Knicks' front office and fan base mistreated Patrick Ewing.I'm glad that the Knicks didn't trade Charles Oakley for this clown when that mid 1990's trade rumor was circulating.If the guy had difficulties dealing with the Houston and Phoenix medias, he would have been the NY media's pinata.I'm also glad that Scottie Pippen had the courage to put him in his place.He really should consider quitting as an NBA analyst and stick to playing golf and spending long hours at his local Dunkin' Donuts.The man serves no purpose on my television screen.

lol when I hear Barkley analyze games on TNT I feel like he was a chromosome away from being retarded. Watch Kenny's face when Barkley speaks. Hilarious.
Wowwwwwwww. I really think Kerr and especially Brakely despise the knicks for some reason. I cant believe that these two men have the utter sheerness to thrash and talk smack against the knicks. I think this shows you that they just dont respect the knicks and despise the team. I think this shows you that Barks just hatessssss the knicks with the words coing out of his mouth when the knicks are mentioned and that Kerr feels betrayed agaisnt his relationship with Amare in Phoenix and the contract. i think Walsh secretly knows something that Kerr doesn`t know and unaware of whats going on and is being clever in keeping it quiet and staying patient rather than making an qucik descision which i think definetly will hamper the chemistry of the players.
Of course Kerr was gonna hate on STAT after letting him walk away from Phoenix.
But ease up on "Chuck" a little bit. First of all, you know he is more comic relief than analyst. But as a player, Chuck is mos def a "top 50" NBA player. I know this because I "met" Chuck in person onetime. Not really met, but saw him at a club waayyyyyy back in the day when Chuck was on the Sixers. I was to scared to talk to him because Chuck had throw some poor slob through a window the week before. But as I stood next to Chuck(and Armon Gilliam), I noticed while being very broad shouldered, Chuck was barely taller than me and I am only 6'1". To play power forward at Chuck's size in the NBA will probably never happen again.
I think the height-argument does not work any more. David Lee, Hayes and Perkins all play centre. I just think that Barkley is a bit of a tool. The whole "I-will-lose-weight-and-learn-Spanish-thing" showed me precisely why he never won a championship. He started each and every training camp out of shape. He has no self-discipline. If that is so clear and you hate on players it makes you sound a ignorant.
