Hi Ladies,
I am a momma to four kids...my youngest is just six weeks old. Every one of my children was breast fed. Believe it or not, this is the first time one of my kids has gotten thrush.
The pediatrician prescribed Nistatin for the baby and I am supposed to put an antifungal on my nipples.
I am wondering this: when I put the antifungal cream on my nipples wont it just rub off on my shirt? Do I leave it on and let it soak in and then put my shirt back down? How do I get effective treatment on my breasts when the cream rubs off so easily?
Also, I'm told to wash it off really well with soap and water so baby doesnt ingest this...I worry about that.
I would love to hear from Moms who have done this treatment...I could use some tips.

Shumlin signs net metering lawBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | April 02,2014
Gov. Peter Shumlin signs the new net metering law on the back of dairy farmer Seth Gardner on Tuesday in East Montpelier.(AP Photo/Wilson Ring)EAST MONTPELIER Its now easier for more small power generators in the state to get paid for any excess electricity they produce by sending that power back onto the electric grid, according to new legislation signed by Gov. Peter Shumlin on Tuesday.
The net metering law Shumlin signed next to a solar array owned by an East Montpelier dairy farmer increases the amount of power small sources of electricity, such as solar panels on a home roof or in a yard, can send to the electric grid from 4 percent of a utilitys peak load to 15 percent.
The new law also includes lowering the net-metering credit on larger projects, expands a fast-track solar project permitting process, and creates a framework to redesign the law for 2017 and beyond when federal tax credits may expire.
Alternative energy proponents pushed for the increased cap after some Vermont utilities had reached the 4 percent cap and stopped taking new net-metered power.
Our success exceeded our wildest dreams, Shumlin said before signing the bill into law, commenting that since he took office in 2011, the state had quadrupled the amount of solar energy on the states electric grid.
Vermonts increased use of alternative energy has helped the state to become the nations per-capita leader in the number of solar-energy jobs.
In addition to the environmental benefits of locally produced power, the move to renewable energy has helped defer the need for $400 million in electricity transmission projects, saving the states electric ratepayers $16 million, the governor said.
In parts of the country, the net-metering debate has proved contentious. Deputy Public Service Commissioner Darren Springer said he recently attended a utility conference where one session referred to the net-metering wars.
But in Vermont, the utilities, solar developers and others worked together to create the law that Shumlin signed Tuesday.
We have over 3,600 projects in Vermont that are part of the net-metering program, Spring said. Its the part of our (energy) portfolio that everyday Vermonters can touch and feel and install on their properties. Its in our communities, our homes, our businesses, our farms.
The governor signed the bill on the back of organic dairy farmer Seth Gardner because no one brought a podium on which to sign the document in the muddy lot next to Gardners solar panels.
Gardner said the net metering for his project made it possible to install the solar panels that usually produce enough electricity every month for his farm.
It makes clean power, Ive reduced my carbon footprint, Im proud to do it, Vermonts a great place and I love net metering, Gardner said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Series Win Gives Phillies 8 Game Lead
With a 3-2 victory over the Braves last night to win the series 2 game to 1, the Phillies will have an 8-game lead in the NL East over both the Braves and the Marlins going into September. Joe Blanton pitched another beautiful game and got through 7 innings of one run ball; the only run came off a solo homer from Martin Prado in the first inning. Blanton looked a bit shaky through those first few innings, but settled in well and only gave up 3 hits.
And for the 2nd night in a row, Chase Utley went yard; his solo shot to right field in the 4th was the only run for the Phillies until Carlos Ruiz stepped up in the 7th. In honor of the Ruiz backpack night, a giveaway for kids 14 and under, Ruiz smacked a double to left to score Raul Ibanez and Pedro Feliz. Ruiz went 3 for 3 on the night; it was his 5th 3-hit game of the year. Maybe the Phillies should give away a Ruiz bobble head next?
In the not-so-great offensive category, the Phillies are still struggling with runners in scoring position. They left 14 men on base and again, had the bases loaded with no outs and failed to score. Blanton hit a line-drive to first base and Ruiz was double off after the catch. Jimmy Rollins then hit a weak grounder to end the inning. The offensive outage is concerning, but thanks to great pitching, they came out on top.
Defense was a big part of the win as well. Ryan Madson, who is entering Brad Lidge-bad territory, got into a huge jam in the 8th inning again. He hit the first batter he faced and then gave up back-to-back singles which scored a run for the Braves. Without recording an out, he was removed from the game and Scott Eyre took over.
Brain McCann then hit a sharp grounder to Utley, who fielded it perfectly and flipped to Rollins who threw to Feliz at third; Feliz tagged Chipper Jones for the unusual 4-6-5 double play. Having eliminated the lead runner, Eyre saved the Phillies from disaster and gave Lidge a 3-2 lead to work with. Amazingly, Lidge nailed down the save with relative ease; it was his second save in a row. Whew!
By the way, did anyone see the actor, Paul Rudd (movies: "I Love You, Man"; "Anchorman"; "Knocked Up"), sitting in the 10th row behind home plate last night? He was just a few sections over from me so I took a few photos. The woman next to him (right side, dark brown hair) is none other than Jen Utley, Chase's wife.
A very welcome off-day is upon us as the Phillies offense needs to rest and charge up for the September charge. Watch for September call-up's which may include pitchers Kyle Kendrick, Jack Taschner and Rodrigo Lopez; infielders Mike Cervenak and Andy Tracy; outfielders John Mayberry Jr. and Jason Ellison; and we will likely see a catcher added – maybe Paul Hoover. Those are my guesses anyway.
A lot of moves will be made as the Phillies are also anticipating the return of Brett Myers, JC Romero and Clay Condrey to the bullpen plus Greg Dobbs. All four have been on the DL and are very close to coming back.
And finally, here is the complete Photo Album from last night's Phillies – Braves game. Tomorrow, the San Francisco Giants come to town for 3 games and some serious pitching battles will ensue. You may remember the Phillies were stomped in San Fran back in July, losing 3 out of 4 games. The Giants are tied for a wildcard spot right now so this will be a very tough match match-up. Cole Hamels starts it off tomorrow at 7:05pm.

Nice celebrity sighting there! I didn't realize the Phillies were eight games up. Wow. You guys have that division sewn up!
Ok, I am a HUGE Rudd fan. Forget the game. Paul Rudd was there. Wow. Big Mancrush. And he looked kind of cozey with Utley's wife. Hope Chase doesn't go through a big slump or else…NAH. Paul wouldn't do that.
Jenn: I thought my Yanks had a big lead. 8 games is really cozy. There is room to stretch out a bit. Celebrities like baseball. Many times Jack Nicholson is at Yankee Stadium. Last night's Yankee game was dramatic. Andy Pettitte was close to history…and then Jerry…I hate recalling it.
But which Cole Hamels will show up? I'd be worried about that the rest of the season. Rudd! What up, Rudd! Who knew?
Celebrities like to support: and it was great that you got their picture.
By the way: nice picture taking! Have I ever told ya that?
Cole Hamels is leaving the fastball up: which has no movement –
Therefore it leaving the park. If he keeps the ball down: and drops the curveball every once in awhile your good to go.
If he can't mix: look for a five inning five ER outing.
It's the truth and nothing but the truth. =)
the Phils' offense needs to pick him up though: and the Indians offense needs to pick our pitcher's up.
we are ready for playoff baseball in Cleveland: and so are they in Philly.
Good luck!
Happy September.
Should Chase be jealous? Wow…she looks happy! Then again, who wouldn't?! Congrats on being 8 games up!!
This definitely makes great sense to me

An advisory panel to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has formally recommended that thousands of smaller publicly traded companies be exempted from the strict accounting and reporting requirements imposed by the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley law, passed in the wake of the collapse of Enron.
"The benefits that are derived by investors are really not worth the costs," said Robert Robotti, president of Robotti & Co., LLC and a member of the advisory panel.
Although most of the SEC commissioners, including commission chairman and former Congressman Chris Cox, have expressed skepticism about such an exemption, Herbert Wander, chairman of the Advisory Committee on Smaller Public Companies, has expressed confidence they will approach his committee's recommendations with an open mind. The commission will start meeting on the issue May 10.
The committee believes the strict accounting methods imposed on companies by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act are disproportionately onerous for smaller companies. It recommends companies with a market capitalization of $128 million or less, called micro-caps, not be subjected to the requirement that executives attest personally on a form that their companies have internal controls to ensure the accuracy of statements filed with the SEC. It also recommends that "smaller public companies," with market capitalization of less that $787 million, be exempt from the requirement that outside auditors attest to their financial controls being effective.
Although size may not be the ultimate criterion — smaller companies have played games with securities in the past, and some will almost certainly do so in the future — the SEC should look favorably on its panel's recommendations. Beyond that — assuming Congress doesn't have the sound judgment to revise or repeal Sarbanes-Oxley itself — it would do well to revisit the initial regulations it wrote to implement Sarbanes-Oxley.
The major effect of Sarbanes-Oxley is to enforce, at great cost and with onerous reporting requirements and personal liability, the latest "generally accepted" accounting standards. But accounting standards evolve as practitioners develop more effective techniques, and locking the current "best practices" into federal law creates a risk of deterring innovation.
Furthermore, although there was evidence of accounting shenanigans, the Enron bankruptcy was not brought about by lax accounting standards but by fraudulent transactions and hiding them from view. Deceptive accounting is more often a consequence of financial crisis than the cause. The market caught onto Enron before federal regulators did, and there is little or no evidence that having more detailed reporting requirements in place would have prevented its problems.
Sarbanes-Oxley amounts to a tax in that it imposes unnecessary costs on companies, reducing the value of stocks and increasing the risks of doing business. Fortunately, it includes a provision inviting the SEC to develop rules accommodating a "principles-based" rather than a "rules-based" accounting system. The SEC would do well to do so quickly.
In the meantime, exempting smaller companies from Sarbanes-Oxley requirements makes sense.

We oppose most of what's in the energy bills awaiting Congress' return from recess because they favor mandates over markets, pie in the sky over practicality and are largely disconnected from reality. It turns out they're disconnected in a literal sense, too.
In a case of putting the renewable energy bandwagon before the horse, Congress might soon impose stringent renewable energy production quotas on every utility in the country without doing anything to clear the way for a major expansion of the electric grid.
These one-size-fits-all mandates — which require every utility to generate 15 percent of power from wind, solar and other "renewables" by 2020 — are misguided on a number of levels. But without a concomitant expansion of the transmission system, and without the construction of conventional power plants to back up these intermittent energy sources, this amounts to a fool's errand.
"You can build all the solar arrays or wind turbines in the world, but if you don't have the transmission lines it does you no good," Dan Riedinger, a spokesman for Edison Electric Institute, pointed out in a recent news story. Added Rob Gramlich of the American Wind Energy Association: "There is wide recognition in the wind industry that (lack of transmission) is our biggest long-term barrier."
It takes about one year to construct a wind farm, but five to seven years, on average, to permit and build the transmission networks needed to carry wind or solar power to the grid, according to Greenwire, an environmental news Web site.
And some transmission projects can take much longer, in part due to red tape, in part due to NIMBYism. The American Electric power line linking Virginia and West Virginia, for instance, took 16 years to permit and build.
Unless Congress does something to streamline the regulatory burdens on line builders, and to incentivize investment in new capacity (which is possible without subsidies), a federal crash program to boost wind and solar energy is even more likely to be a disaster.
Everyone in America demands reliable electricity, but no one wants the transmission lines running through their proverbial or literal backyards. NIMBYism has thus become a major hurdle to expansion of the grid. Overcoming this selfish and irrational mindset might present the most vexing challenge of all.
Washington is bursting with schemes for promoting renewables. But only two bills before Congress aim at modernizing our antiquated and overloaded grid. Neither of the bills has been included in the pending energy packages.
They say members of Congress are disconnected from the real world. This lack of foresight and common sense proves it.

Welcome to the first installment of the re-named series: Sista Show-Off! This series is where I interview and/or feature women of color doin' their thang in all areas!! "But Brit…that ain't beauty!" Are you kidding me? Being inspired by women everywhere is a beautiful thing! Know of someone who would like to be featured on Clumps of Mascara's Sista Show-Off….shoot me an email at email@example.com.
I am proud to show-off not only an impeccable web designer but wonderful workin' lady who I can call a friend, as well. Candice is not only responsible for that beautiful banner you see and my new menu bar, but also the complete make-over of my personal blog. Her work is unique and she is fast and professional. Professionalism is a big deal to me and my girl delivers all the way. I could talk about how fab she is all day but let me drop you the little chit-chat session we have so you can learn more about her and Divalicious Designs.
Tell us a little bit about how Divalicious Designs was born?
Well, I would say about 2 years ago, I started making my own blogger templates. I felt that the ones that were available at the time didn't represent me. They were nice and all but, just not my style. Girly yet sophisticated. Then when I did find some that I felt were, they were ridiculously priced. So since I have a computer programming background from being in the Air Force I decided to make my own and was I was very happy with it. After that an online girlfriend of mine saw it, and loved it, and wanted me to make a template for her site as well. I really enjoyed the whole process of making templates. So I first decided to make ones for free to see if people would actually be interested in downloading any of my free templates. I put them on one of my other blog sites.
Your templates are just amazing! I am proud to endorse you and I know that fellow bloggers who have worked with you would say the same thing. What are your goals for Divalicious Designs?
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me. I do this because I love to do it and that just helps me along. I do hope to one day branch out into doing full websites, and also WordPress themes. That would be a big step and right now, I just don't have the time to do that. I need to wait till my babies are older. Plus I wanted to go back to school for web/graphic designing so I can be proficient in what I do. And so I can also provide web support when a customer has a problem, if need be.
What advice would you give to ladies who are trying to "get out there" in terms of web/template design?
First be patient, everyone is not gonna come running to you for your designs. You need to first build a repertoire of HAPPY customers. Most people are are gonna be afraid to try you if you don't have some sort of background with people. Secondly don't be stingy go ahead and do some projects for free. If they have good traffic they will be helping you as much as you are helping them. This is also a good way to build your portfolio. And be honest give credit where it due. I try to always give credit to where I get my resources from, and not try and pass them off as my own.
What has been the biggest reward so far in your venture?
I just LOVE to read (LOL) the joy in the customers email when they say how happy they are and how much they love the design. All the positive reviews and comments that I've gotten from the customers make me SOOOO happy. I have all my customers in my favorites, in a special folder. And I just love to go back by and see the site, and how they are doing, and to see the positive feedback from their readers on their new design, is just icing on the cake.
What are some of your other hobbies?
OH goodness, where do I start.I also make matching Proboard and Myspace Templates (if the customer requests). I play the piano and make urban gospel music with my hubby. I have another site, HipehopeUrbanGospelSpot. Where me and my husband showcase Holy Hip Hop among other types of Urban Gospel. And we put together a free music podcast. I also have another site, dedicated to brown mama's but I ain't gonna tell you that site info, because I been neglecting it, LOL.
And because we are beauty obsessed folks around here, tell us your favorite beauty product!
Hon I don't know where to start! I LOVE mascara and eyeshadow and blush and lip gloss. Can't live without it! As far as brands I haven't been able to go and get the top notch of everything but I love Iman for foundation. Right now since I am on a budget,I am a AVON girl when it comes to mascara. When I curl it, it stays, nuff said, LOL.I've just recently been hipped to the Black Beauty Blogs so I will be making the rounds as far as what's best for us, because I am totally clueless and have wasted so much money on stuff that didn't 'work' for ME. So I guess I can say now because of that I am stuck in a rut, scared to try anything new basically…
…..and all you have to do is visit her template page and come back and tell me which one you like best! Candice and I will randomly choose a winner on Friday, October 3, 2008! Good luck all!!!

Four nuclear policy veterans Joseph S. Nye Jr. (from left), Ashton B. Carter, Albert Carnesale, and Graham Allison gathered at the Harvard Kennedy School for a seminar on the current challenges in avoiding nuclear war.

"Nuclear Threats, Then and Now"
Panel examines how 80s efforts helped to avoid catastrophic war
Magazine or Newspaper Article, Harvard Gazette, Harvard University Office of News and Public Affairs
May 19, 2011
Author: James F. Smith, Former Communications Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Listen to a recording of the event, which was moderated by David A. Welch, interim director at the Balsillie School of International Affairs and professor of political science at the University of Waterloo.
In 1985, researchers at the Harvard Kennedy School published a book called Hawks, Doves, and Owls, and gave it an ambitious subtitle: An Agenda for Avoiding Nuclear War.
Those scholars gathered again at the School on Monday (May 16) for a seminar on the current challenges in avoiding nuclear war and to marvel at just how drastically the nuclear threat has morphed in the two decades since the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union collapsed.
The bottom line is that the Avoiding Nuclear War Project got a lot right, not least in recognizing that the real danger of igniting a nuclear war lies not in calculated military judgments but in misperceptions, irrational acts, and human mistakes. The groups recommendations to take steps to lengthen the nuclear fuse and reduce the risks of accidental war remain core elements of U.S. nuclear policy.
But the four nuclear policy veterans on the panel Graham Allison, Joseph S. Nye Jr., Ashton B. Carter, and Albert Carnesale also acknowledged many unanticipated changes in the nuclear landscape. Nye said that few experts in the mid-1980s imagined a world without a Soviet Union within a decade, and the consequent danger of loosely guarded nuclear materials. Nor did they anticipate that terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda would declare their intention to obtain and use nuclear bombs.
Nye, the Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor, said, If any of us thought that within a decade, there would be no Soviet Union, none of us got that. We social scientists pat ourselves on the back, but what we know is fairly limited.
The seminar was part of a two-day tribute to Nye organized by former students and fellows, some of whom took part in the 80s project and are now respected academics and government officials.
The panel took its title, Avoiding Nuclear War: Hawks, Doves, and Owls, Then and Now, from the first book published by the project, which was co-edited by Allison, Carnesale, and Nye.
Seeking to move beyond the traditional showdown between hawks and doves, the authors devised a third policy caricature, involving owls. In contrast to hawks who seek military dominance to deter war by peace through strength, and doves who view the arms race as provocatively aggressive, owls see irrational behavior and loss of control as unintended triggers of conflict. Owls focus on reducing those risks as the key to avoiding war.
Allison, who like Nye is a former Kennedy School dean and now is director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the School, noted: Owls eat hawks as well as doves.
Carter took a leave from the Belfer Center to serve as undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology, and logistics in the Obama administration. Carter sketched a clear intellectual path from the 80s work of the Avoiding Nuclear War Project to the current U.S. struggle against terrorists seeking weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Carter said one breakthrough idea in the 85 agenda lay in thinking not only about nuclear arsenals but also about the wiring of the arsenals, and the organizational and psychological factors underlying the nuclear command and control systems.
If you look at nuclear terrorism and the thinking about WMD, you can see that the focus on the materials is complemented by thinking about the people and the networks of terrorism, Carter said. That series of steps you can trace right back to hawks, doves, and owls.
Carnesale, who also was a Harvard Kennedy School dean and went on to become Harvard University provost and then chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles, recalled that the 1985 book declared: We see no certain way to escape some reliance on nuclear deterrence. He said that conclusion holds up pretty well today.
Nye pointed out that the 85 study, and another publication by the project three years later called Fateful Visions, did not call for the abolition of nuclear weapons. He noted that there was disagreement then, as there is now, about whether getting to zero should be the overarching goal.
Nye said the more important objective in the mid-80s was to get nuclear powers to back away from the hair-trigger ability to launch thousands of weapons of immense destructive power within minutes. We thought of it as a timeline: How far could you back away from those bombs on the front line? But there was always some disagreement among us about whether as you got down to lower numbers lets say five, or one whether the premium for cheating and for a crisis of instability would grow enormously.
So if you could get away from bombs at the front line, and avoid proliferation, the question of whether you could get to zero, we never quite solved, Nye said.
That debate remains very much alive, especially with several former secretaries of state and defense now advocating dismantling all nuclear weapons.
Nye said that should remain an aspirational goal, if not an operational one, in part because political climates can change in unexpected ways that make détente suddenly realistic. He recalled traveling to Argentina and Brazil in the 70s as a State Department official and urging the two military dictatorships to forgo their nascent nuclear weapons programs. They scoffed at him then, but soon the military rulers gave way to elected successors, and the two nations did abandon their nuclear weapons plans. South Africa later made a similar leap.
Carter said the Obama administration had helped break through a very loud disagreement between left and right on nuclear policy because President Barack Obama was able to distinguish between having zero and having less while retaining a credible deterrent for the United States.
David Welch, a political science professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada who was a doctoral fellow with Nye and who co-organized the gathering, said the Avoiding Nuclear War Project had a powerful direct impact. He said former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachevs cautious nuclear policy was heavily influenced by the thinking of adviser Georgi Arbatov, who had been involved in a number of project initiatives.

JAMAICA Police identified a 20-year-old Windham woman was killed on Monday in a two-car crash on Route 30 in Jamaica.

The spectacle that the championship delivers is great, but its played in a cul-de-sac. Its watched by an ageing hardcore. Sheffield won it with a fan base of 3 men and a dog, if that's considered a success in your world then somebody needs to shake your head, if you are just regurgitating the bull from RH then fair enough, they hadn't a clue when they used that phrase as well.
Your spot on Craig with that post. Our crowds have only grown because people have a dream again by our BOD trying to get us back in the top division. Without the dream of P&R I fear the championship will die a slow and painful death.

Two companies with 3D products are working together to serve the education market. AVRover, which bundles the components for portable audio visual systems, will be adding XPAND 3D glasses to its 3D-specific bundle. The 3DAVRover is intended to provide an "immersive educational experience," according to information from the company. It includes a Windows 7 Pro computer with an NVidia 3D graphics processor, a 3D projector, 3D viewing software, speakers, 3D educational content, and 25 sets of 3D glasses from XPAND.
XPAND's EDUX3 3D glasses have "active-shutter" technology, which shifts rapidly between showing the view from the right eye and the view from the left eye to give the impression of depth when viewing two pictures that have been blended together to create the 3D image. The glasses run on CR2032 batteries, which have an average life of about 100 hours, according to the company.
The console into which the bundle fits is 36 inches high, 19 inches wide, and 24 inches deep. It's on heavy-duty wheels and features a steel body, security screws on all panels, local storage drawers to hold the glasses and other components, a 25-foot retractable power cord, and two power outlets.
"The ultimate goal is to increase student achievement and our collaboration on these glasses is only the beginning of what AVRover and XPAND 3D will bring to the education market," said Douglas Smith, president of AVRover.

Morning! I am posting a question from our friend (and DCP) who had a son via c-section six days ago. She hasn't had time to set up an LLL account yet so asked if I would post her email for thoughts from other moms. This is her first time b'feeding. Please provide feedback and I will forward to her via email. Thank you!!
(from Mandy)
My breasts are still sore feeling if not gentle with them, hard to the touch. I pump every 2 to 3 hours no less or no more than 3 hours. At night Talon usually eats late about 11:30ish then once in the night and then in the early morning about 5ish or so. It's not a set schedule as you know that's hard to do with new borns but that seems to be more of what it's been. I always offer breast, both sides first, he still only takes a couple little good sucks
then he cries so then I will offer the bottle with formula. When I pump I
only get about 1/2 ounce or even less from each side. So not much at all.
It's cloudish white in color. I'm not sure my milk has fully let down.
What do you think? I haven't woken from a nap or night wet, and I haven't
felt a big let down from what I'm told it feels like. I hope Talon will
nurse more when my milk is fully in and flows better for him. If not I will
have to stick to pumping and putting it in bottle for him. Which I planned
on doing during the day but planned and hoped on him nursing from me other

Blech on the Cardinals
Just over an hour and a half remains until baseball season begins once more.
At the risk of offending my buddy Mark, the man who made me a Mets blogger, I will fully admit: I hate the Cardinals. Smug, poorly behaved brutes.
Man, I want the Mets to win tonight. I want our boys to find last year's spirit and swagger, bottle it up, and take a tall drink before stepping out on that field. Toss away the sloppiness and reconnect with Willie Ball. Let's get a Mets first inning, with young Jose racing to third, followed by Duc batting him in. Throw in a homer from at least one Carlos. DWright, stick your tongue out and hit hard the other way. Shawnie, find your swing. Gentlemen? Aim big. Walk cocky. Do it right.
And win. I know I've got no business asking, but I'm going to anyway. Win it for us, boys.

Because now ST doesn't matter. Clean slate. The bats are swinging. The wins are real.
Welcome to the Majors!

"Blech on the Cardinals"
LOL! you are so hilarious, Zoe
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Mets are 1-0 and once again the best record in baseball. Actually I am getting WAY too much credit for being a Cards fan. I just helped David Wright with this what-song-should-I-swing-to program on mets.com, and my boys live back in St. Louis. So I'd be doing the Mets a big disservice saying I'm a Redbird fan since I work for them, too! Go baseball!!!
Looking forward to your next smash hit book!
Hey Zoe…*******, it felt good to get a little payback against those Cards for bouncing us in October! Forgot how much I resented them for that…
Hear who's starting against us on Wednesday? Old pal Braden Looper… can't wait to get our hands on him!

So happy that the Mets are undefeated this morning! And to show the Cardinals what they're up against this season – Yeah!!!
And did you see Paulie tagging out Eckstein at the plate?!? Nice play!!!!

My child has a wonderful new interest...lightly biting my nipple and slowly sliding off my breast (with teeth still clamped,) partially taking my nipple with him until it pops (OWWW) out of his mouth.
Ummmm...no sir! What in the world? Make him stop! He thinks it is hysterical. He used to gum when he was first getting teeth and never thought me wincing, yelping, or crying out in pain was funny. And he learned very quickly to stop. Now, he gets a huge kick out of it until I sit him down a few feet away from me, and then he's mad and wants to comfort nurse some more.
As of now the only way out is monitoring his feed like in the old days and hoping I catch him unlatching before he pulls another stunt. I'm 0-20. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

T*, now 17, was lured into a dark world of sex trafficking and exploitation through poverty, peer pressure, and a broken home. Her time at World Vision's trauma recovery center in Cambodia has given her hope for a brighter, safer future.
"T"* is a story of temptation and transformation.
She is the oldest among four children in her family. Born in Cambodia's capital city of Phnom Penh, she was sent to Vietnam at a young age to live with relatives and go to school. At 11, T was relieved to return to Phnom Penh.
"I wasn't happy there [in Vietnam]," she says. "I tried to study hard. My parents wanted me to study there. During the nighttime, I cried all the time because I missed my parents."
But the family she missed so much was disintegrating. T's parents separated, and she ultimately decided to live with her mother.
She stopped going to school. "I did not go to school because my family is poor," she says. "My family could not earn money to support me to go to school."
Peer pressure was T's undoing. "I have friends. I went for a walk with my friends. One day, they encouraged me to use drugs," she recalls.
They encouraged her to try meth and another unknown drug. "It smells very good. It looks like sugar," says the girl, who was just 13 or 14 years old at the time.
"I needed money to buy the drugs, so I fell into the prostitution work," T says. "I was living in a prostitution place. There were seven or eight girls. The owner also used the drugs. She was good with me. The owners also made friends with the police to protect the shop."
T worked every day, seeing around five men a day at a rate of U.S. $5 per transaction — but she only got to keep half. "Since I am too young, the owner only let me have Cambodians only. The older ones would have the foreigners," she says.
In 2009, police raided the shop. "They had arms, but they didn't use them," she says. "The police handcuffed the owner — but for us, for the girls, we were not handcuffed. They brought us to the police station and they asked us questions."
A World Vision partner organization, World Hope Organization, brought T to World Vision's trauma recovery center, where she stayed for six months.
But when she arrived home, T discovered that her mother was in serious financial trouble. "She could not work and we had no money, so I decided to go back to prostitution," she says.
"The first time, I decided to borrow $500 from the owner. Later, I borrowed more money (another $500) from the same man," she says. "I paid him back through prostitution," she says.
"I almost returned all the money. With 10 more men I could return all the money to him."
But then there was another raid. "Police arrested us and brought us…to the World Vision center again."
This time, things were different. T's life began to transform. "I like the environment here [at the center]," she says. "When the caregivers saw that I am changed, they arranged to send me to outside training."
Today, T wants to open her own shop as a hairdresser. "The income is a little, but it is a very good job for a woman. I don't want to go back to my previous job," she says.
She knows temptations will surface once she leaves the center. "Even though my friends call me to go back to my previous job, I won't go," she says. "It's not a good job for our society. People don't accept prostitutes. And it causes us to have disease."
At the center, T also serves as a peer educator, teaching other children about children's rights and about the law. "Staying here, I have the opportunity to learn English," she says.
Sadly, T's story is but one example of the millions of children around the world who are trapped in vicious exploitation. Through World Vision's long-term presence in nearly 100 countries, we are committed to walk alongside these boys and girls, guiding them as they recover from trauma and learn skills for a hope-filled future.
Learn more about World Vision's work to protect and care for children in crisis around the world, like T.
Contact your members of Congress today. Urge them to support strong funding to fight modern-day slavery. We're not asking for new money. We just want to ensure that existing anti-trafficking programs are not cut.
Make a one-time donation to help provide hope for sexually exploited girls. Your gift will help prevent further abuse and restore physical and spiritual health to rescued girls by providing interventions like safe shelter, medical care, nutritious food, vocational training, compassionate counseling, and when possible, reintegration with a loving family.

The Road To Happiness Or Downfall
Mars M. Avelino
In Success: The Road To Happiness Or Downfall, author Mars M. Avelino shares stories of successful people who experienced the many issues and problems that may hinder goals and ambitions, but can be surpassed through hard work, determination, will power, and foresight. He recounts stories that provide guidance to make challenges of daily living manageable, giving readers the confidence to face obstacles and problems that will test their hearts and determination towards reaching the dream of success.
Documented are stories of successful people, like Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and billionaire Richard Branson who were high school dropouts. Success to them is not measured by education. Also in the book is the story of Oprah Winfrey, her journey from poverty to a billionaire. In the book are more stories of successful people whose will and determination guided them to successful living. Success was the product of their hard work and will power. Wisdom was built through time in their journey through life as they accumulated experiences and developed good human relations. Determination, hard work and wisdom led them to success.
Moreover, this book cautions the readers not to be carried away by the pleasures that success brings to life. Success can be the bridge to disaster, like the story of Bernard L. Madoff in the book, where the importance of human dignity is overlooked. Success could be venomous and deadly like the fangs of a cobra and could be the painful doom if craving for material things results to greed.
The book relates that in this life, it is very important to live with integrity according to your means and needs. If you are on the top of your career, do not forget to respect human dignity and always give value to your efforts toward success. True to its name, Success: The Road To Happiness Or Downfall opens readers' eyes to the reality that success, depending on how it was achieved or being dealt with, can lead to either glorious happiness or devastating downfall.

Simply majestic
February 13, 2013 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — A rare profusion of winter sun poured down through an azure blue sky, a hiatus between periods of snow, ice and gray gloom. Looking out my back window, I was taken by the glitter of ice crystals that adorned every limb. Seizing the moment that I knew would soon be gone, I grabbed my camera and went out to photograph this natural splendor.
It was winter in its most lovely attire. Soon the ice would melt, the sun would abate and the next phase of freezing drizzle would hold forth. But not for long, for soon in its place will emerge greenery and flowers to remind us about rebirth and renewal. Say what you will about winter, but it is majestic in its own right.
And in the world of high school sports, this past week evinced three manifestations of wintry magnificence.
Heading to the snowy slopes of Belleayre Mountain on February 5 afforded an opportunity to photograph Division I skiers rocketing down the Giant Slalom course. The Monticello girls won both the morning and afternoon races. Fallsburg/Tri-Valley placed second and third respectively. Monticello senior Haley Heins continued her mastery with two first-place finishes. Teammate Haley Ripa was second in the afternoon run and fourth in the morning encounter. Other top 10 finishers included Sarah Coney (F/TV), Riley Lindholm (M), Olivia Racette (L) and Mackenzie Mitchell (M).
In the boys races, it was Onteora that prevailed in the morning, followed by Monticello in the afternoon. Sullivan West senior Drew Billard took second in both races. Other top 10 finishers included Bailey Mitchell (M), Alec Wood (M), Zak Steingart (F/TV), Gene Doyle (L) and Pat Doyle (L). The Section 9 ski championships are slated for Hunter Mountain on February 12. Heins and Billard are the OCIAA Division I champions.

No. 2: The Empire State Building
The Empire State Building opens at 8 a.m. If you get in line right away and want to ride the elevator to the 102nd floor observatory, you may get in before dinner.
If you're lucky.
By the way, it costs $15 to ride the elevator, in addition to the $20 you'll pay to get in the building. That's $35 to look out a window.
It may be something everybody should do once in their life, but be prepared for an expensive bout of torture, especially with kids in tow, if you do go.
If you really want to go to the top but don't want to pony up the cash, try the following: (1) Join the military-free admission for soldiers in uniform; (2) disguise yourself as a toddler age 5 and under ride free; (3) scale the building, although the accompanying fine and prison time may prove to be a greater financial setback than the $35 you were trying to avoid.
Speaking of things to avoid in New York, start with the final destination on our list ...
No. 1: Times Square
If you're looking for an authentic New York experience, then go to Coney Island, check out a Yankees game, take a ferry to Ellis Island, or jog in Central Park (with mace).If you can't get enough of corporations, fast food restaurants, sensory overload, or mobs of tourists, go to Times Square.
Sure, New York has cleaned up its act from what Times Square was in the past, but it still remains a tourist trap.
Although every New York tourist needs at least one glimpse of New York's most famous block, one glimpse is all it takes, unless of course it's New Year's Eve and you're a personal guest of Dick Clark and don't mind subzero-degree temperatures or drunken buffoons urinating on your snow boots.
It's not that Times Square is any worse than any other tourist trap in any major city, it's just that there's so much to do in New York, it's senseless to waste your time at Times Square.

Dodgers Sweep: A Balk-Off, A Walk-Off HR and a Walk-Off Single
Dodgers Sweep: A Balk-Off, A Walk-Off HR and a Walk-Off Single.
Even though the Dodgers swept Arizona, these wins could have gone either way. The Dodger pitching was there and timely hitting along with some help from the D'Backs.
5/31/10: The Balk-Off. Lopez piched well for the D'Backs but the defense let him down when Kelly Johnson committed two errors in one play that scored two runs. Then came the Balk from Vasquez causing the balk-off for the bearded one Casey Blake. Billingsley was lights out after the four homeruns he gave up in the first two innings. Final score: Dodgers 5, D'backs 4.
The guys in the dugout pointing out to the balk.
6/2/10. Ely vs. Haren. A great pitching dual that went 10 innings with Matt Kemp having his first walk-off! Jeff Weaver picked up the win and Gutierrez picked up the loss. Gutierrez is now 0-4. Gutierrez has allowed 10 homeruns in 18 1/3 innings. Final score: Dodgers 1, D'Backs 0.
The fourteen inning stretch!
6/3/10. A business special that started at noon. This one had ex-Dodger Edwin Jackson going against rule-5 Carlos Monasterios. It went 14 innings with rookie Travis Schlichting (I love the name!) pitching 4 scoreless innings and picking up the win! The kid also had his first MLB at bat. Valdez took the loss on a walk-off single by Garret Anderson. Final score: Dodgers 1, D'backs 0.
So the D'Backs have gone 31 innings without scoring a run. They lost all nine games on the road and lost 10 straight now. Ouch! The D'Backs starters pitched well, the bullpen is another story.
The red-hot Braves are in town for a four game series. Braves have won eight in a row, the Dodgers four in row. Remember April? These two teams were in last place with an identical record of 9-14.
I feel so bad for Armando Galarraga but the guy was classy, he kept his cool. In our hearts you pitched a perfect game Armando! I don't know what did Jim Joyce see in that play but he apologized to Armando.
Countdown to trip to Fenway Park: 15 days! Woohoo!
15 Comments
Emma – last night's denied Perfect Game was a shocker. There was indeed some class between Joyce and Galarraga last night amid the calling for heads of umpires head across Jimmie Lee Solomon's (and Mike Port's) desk this morning. But, it is always good to see a correct call go the right way – the "Balk-Off" on May 31.
That photo of everyone pointing from the Dodger dugout is wanting of a caption.🙂
A friend of mine was at the game for the balk-off win and told me about it. What a wacky ending, but I'm glad the Dodgers won!
It was "Garret Anderson" who had the walk-off yesterday.
Want to see how Heyward does.
Congrats on your continued climb in the blogosphere listings, I liked the 'Balk-Off' the best, that has to go down as one of the easiest ways to win a game… too funny…
Phillies Outside
Vin Scully was explaining that part of the rule book. When Monday used to do Dodger Talk, the rule book seemed like it was his favorite book.
That sure was a wacky way of ending the game Jane. You just never know what you will see at a baseball game.
Thanks Samking for catching that. Got carried away with the t's in Garret's name.
I too am looking forward to seeing Heyward.
Thanks! Congratulations to you too! I noticed you have #32 and you know who would get my dedication if I got #32!
That ump's call was horrible. I understand he feels bad, but that poor kid may never pitch a perfect game again. It is so sad :O(
You are right, Jenn. He might never pitch a perfect game again.
Do the right thing Bud Selig and reverse that call!
firrst off, ya knoww as a phillies fan, im not a big dodgers fan. but that balk-off was actually pretty interesting. never seen anything like it in my lifee. secondd, Galarraga desereved that perfect gamee. they have instant replay. they sould try to use it more often. annd i love how bud selig wont reverse the call….. NOT! jim joyce did the right thing in admitting he was wrongg so they should just make it a perfect game!!!! lastly, good luck this weekend with the braves in town. i honestly really hope the dodgers wiiin. not only do i just want the braves to hopefully be out of first and the phillies in their place by monday, but i also just want them to losee. haha.
http:// werthbabyyy.mlblogs.com
I watched the June 2nd game. That was lots of fun.
The Balk-off…Only in Baseball. Galarraga handled that with class.
Ely is a stud. I admit. You guys might have a real ace on the way. Maybe.
sorry, we could not take care of the Braves. Kuroda-san just did not have it. We'll try today with 22-year old Kershaw.
that bearded one Casey Blake is everywhere keeping an eye on the pitchers.
Love Ely! I am going to go see him Saturday. He is making an appearance in Culver City. Can't wait.
walk off walk off walk off you all just never stop with these things! How incredibly exciting! It's amazing how the pitching for the D-backs is solid but the offense never comes through
I feel bad for the Arizona starting pitching. The offense and the bully fails them a lot of time.

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line the base and sides of a round 23cm cake tin with baking parchment. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly. Once the mixture is combined, add all the dry ingredients and the zest and juice after you have measured off 100ml for the glaze.

Tried this yesterday; very pleased with the results. I made a few changes, however, using a bit of honey in place of some sugar, and including some chopped walnuts and candied orange slices. I suspect black cardamom, cinnamon, or poppy seed, and prunes or other dense and strongly-flavoured dried fruit, would do well too (not all at once!).
This'll be a very handy breakfast with a killer espresso.
I love this cake! I made a mistake when I first baked it ,It worked so well I replicate it every time. Instead of orange juice and zest I cook one large orange and when it is cold I blend it and add to the cake mixture. I also put about 20 grams of polenta more and less plain flour and 50 grams less sugar. It will take a bit longer to bake perhaps because of the whole orange and I do it in two rectangular tins. Made a chocolate ganache and covered the cake when cool.It freezes well too(without the ganache!).
Instead of buying in the orange juice; we just squeezed one and half of the oranges (used the remaining half as sliced on top) ....... its gone down a treat.
Made this in our Food Tech classroom (just under 25 in each class) with both our year 9 groups.... they all loved it, just wish that they were more enthusiastic about the cleaning up!!!
My first attempt ever at polenta cake and it worked beautifully. To make it gluten free, I used Dove Farm's gluten free plain flour with no problems at all. I did use the juice and zest of two and a half oranges (around 250ml) IN the cake and the juice of one and a half (the 100ml in the recipe) for the soaking syrup. Genius that I am, not only did I not have a juicer (quick dash to the shops to get a good old fashioned glass one!) but I also didn't have a 23cm cake tin so used two 19cm sandwich tins which worked perfectly. I whipped some cream with icing sugar, vanilla and the rest of the zest and put this healthy concoction between the two after soaking ....success!! Really lovely, moist, tasty cake and a very happy return to baking for me
Cooked this in an Aga - the heat in my oven was way over what the recipe said, but even so it was perfectly baked after 55 mins. I used Polenta Valsugana the only type sold by our Waitrose, and the texture was a little gritty for my liking. I wonder if there is a better type to use for this recipe?
Great recipe, blogged here.
Made this three times now - it's a great as a cake with tea or as a pudding with creme fraiche. I now use zest from two oranges and juice from four. Also following advice on making it gluten free by using 100 gram gluten free flour and 100 gram ground almonds. A good cake to take somewhere as easily transported in the tin.
This was a real hit! Would be great as a dinner party pud. I used ordinary white caster sugar and served it with the lightly whipped double cream I had in the fridge. Creme fraiche, vanilla ice cream, or the suggested lemon ice cream would be just as good. Mine took 1 hour to cook. I thought the amount of glaze was too much but I took my time and applied it slowly to allow it took sink in- was just right. Will definately do again.

A Mauston man is asking the state of Wisconsin to compensate for a mistake that led him to pay $31,000 plus tax for a 2011 Chevy Avalanche that he bought in December from a private buyer in northern Wisconsin.
The state mistakenly changed the title of the vehicle, which had been totaled in an earlier accident, from "salvage" to clean.
"Our government puts this system in place to protect us and now, this is the way they protect us," said Rick Davis.
"It's not my problem. I feel like they made the mistake. They need to fix their mistake," said Davis.
Wisconsin's "lemon law" requires car dealerships to buy back vehicles that hold inappropriate titles, but that requirement is not imposed on private sellers.
Davis said he knew the vehicle had been in an earlier accident, but said he assumed since the title was clean, the SUV was fine.
Davis found out it wasn't when he tried to resell it, after it gave his wife back problems and the first prospective buyer ran a CarFax on the vehicle and discovered it had been rebuilt.
"I guess they're thinking I should have run a CarFax on it, but why should I do that when I've got a clean title," Davis said. "They aren't supposed to make that mistake."
The head of the Wisconsin Bureau of Vehicle Services, Mitchell Warren, agreed.
"We know for sure that we made a mistake," Warren said. "We need to find a way to make these folks whole. We're going to make sure that happens."
Before reaching Warren, Davis had been promised $80 from the state to cover the cost of getting the vehicle re-inspected and retitled yet again, so he could drive it.
Because he owned a salvaged vehicle, Davis said he could not get collision insurance from his insurer and that the manufacturer would no longer honor any future recalls on the SUV. Davis has not taken the state up on that offer, contacting News 3 instead, to ask questions on his behalf.
Davis currently has an offer of $12,500 from a potential buyer, but says he does not feel he should take a roughly $20,000 loss because of the state's mistake.
