Question - I have a used Ameda Purely Yours. It was previously used for a year by a mom working full time (a good friend of mine). I got all new parts and as far as I can tell it seems to be working fine.
However, I've been pumping 4 days a week 3x in 8 hours and getting 7-8 oz per day. I added an extra session at night and pump one side while DD feeds on the other in the AM. I always pump at least a few more minutes after milk stops to encourage more milk production.
Nothing has had any impact at all on my output. Then this week I started cranking the suction all the way up (used to put it on half power) and have been getting 1+oz extra per pumping session.
I worry that my pump isn't doing as good a job as it should be doing to encourage more production, and this new development is great, but I'm now maxing it out. Does any of this make sense?
I want to pump more milk (without supplements - Fenugreek was disasterous) and am so jealous of the ladies who can get 4+oz per side!

Whilst conducting this week's scavenge at the big yellow comestibles shop, I noticed that the previous user of my trolley had chosen to discard the fuel docket they had earned through purchasing the weight of a fat child in fish. Or so the accompanying receipt said anyway.
And that is pretty strange because I've always been led to believe that fish was good for the brain. Clearly the binge pescatarianism that this shopper indulged in was doing so much damage to their little grey cells that it no longer occurred to them that throwing money away was a bad idea.
Admittedly, on the surface I can understand that people might not see too many reasons to get excited over 6 cents a litre, particularly when 91 octane petrol is now averaging around $2.12/litre, but a little bit of man maths can make for some interesting reading.
For the purposes of the exercise, we will assume that you are Johnny average who knocks around in a Corolla which, for 14,000km every year, averages 10litres/100km. This means you will guzzle up a total of 1400 litres of petrol, which will set you back a grand total of $2968 at $2.12/litre.
However, if you'd employed the discount dockets and saved your 6 cents, you would only have spent $2884 – a saving of $84.
Now I'm not for one moment suggesting that this act alone will enable you to be the next occupant of Dotcom Towers once the FBI has had its way and prised the geeky Lord of the Pies from the sweaty paws of our judicial system, however for the average chap (or chapess) on the street, it's still not to be sniffed at.
Shop at the right time and $84 will buy you several packs of very decent beer or treat you and the love of your life to a nice meal out. Surely either of these things is worth putting a scrap of paper in your wallet for each week? Or perhaps if you want to improve your insight into all things automotive, you're suddenly only $5 away from a yearly subscription to a quality motoring magazine.
Still not convinced? Right, well try this. Back in Johnny average world your daily distance travelled is just over 38km which will cost you $8.06; so starting first thing on Monday morning, every time you go for a drive say to yourself 'I didn't have to pay for this petrol'. And you're only allowed to stop at 10am on Thursday 16th February. If you can accomplish this and not feel the slightest twinge from your bank balance then you're either doing very well in life – in which case, congratulations – or simply aren't too bright.
Needless to say, I pocketed the docket and it currently has pride of place on my fridge, ready for next week when the Mercedes' inexorable thirst will once again need quenching. From my rudimentary calculations, I stand to save in the region of $2.15, which will get me from Grimley Towers all the way to the Victoria Park flyover.
So while it won't make the rush hour traffic any better, on Tuesday at least, I won't be paying for the privilege of queuing.

HOKAH, Minn. -- Seventy years ago today, the attack that launched America into World War II shook the nation. The Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor inspired many brave Americans to enlist in the military.
There are fewer and fewer people left with memories of that day, and even fewer who served in the war.
That makes Hokah resident Gerry Davison a living piece of history. But he says the lessons he learned fighting the war in the 40s are still just as relevant today.
Davison was a college junior sitting in a classroom when he got the news.
"The instructor got an interruption on the telephone in our classroom and echoed it to us," said Davison.
Japanese aviators had launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
"I didn't even know where Japan was really on the map—or Pearl Harbor…. But I knew immediately I was going to go."
It was hard to get much information about what actually happened.
"It was more gossip. One person heard something on the radio or one person read something in the Reader's Digest or something. That's all we had to go on."
But Davison, along with nearly all of his classmates, knew war was coming and quickly made plans to enlist.
"It was such a devastating attack. It absolutely meant that we were totally going to go to war. And having heard from my dad about World War I all my life, I thought that's what you're supposed to do."
Davison joined the Navy and was assigned to a minesweeper in the South Pacific.
Looking back on that sense of duty he felt to enlist, he says now he feels connected to those who were inspired to join the military by the September 11 attacks.
"On 9/11 [it was] kind of like it was after Pearl Harbor, a little bit—the attitude. Yeah, I feel real close to them. In fact, I would have volunteered. But I was too old for sea duty that time."
And as he reflects on his service, he says there's only one thing he would have done differently.
"Regrets? No, no. Only that I could have been there sooner."
During his time in the Navy, Davison actually had a few close calls with kamikazes. Even now, if he sees an old movie that reminds him of those encounters right before bed, he still gets nightmares about it.
Davison's military service extended beyond World War II. He also served in the Vietnam War for two-and-a-half years and was part of the Reserves.

Satyricon -- Munich, Germany -- December 7th, 2009
This was the third time I saw Satyricon and again they put on a great show. But befrore Satyricon started we had to go through tree support acts, namely Posthum, Dark Frotress and Shining. Of these three, the band that stood out the most to me was Dark Fortress. I didn´t know their songs before but I really enjoyed them live. Shining wasn´t bad either, the music they do is great but I just can´t stand their singer. Posthum went on first and did a horrible job. Very unprofessional and no one really seemed to care about them.
After sitting through these three band Satyricon finally took over the stage. The main focus lied on their last three records, which I think is good, because I like their newer stuff. But of course they played some older stuff too, but nothing form Dark Medieval Times or Shadowthrone.
Satyr was great as always and showed once again that he is one hell of a frontman. The way he interacts with the crows is very special.
The setlist was mainly the same as it was one year ago when they last played in Munich. Some minor changes like leaving out The Sign Of The Trident (which is my favorite song from Age of Nero) and playing Den Siste instead. Of course the crowd really went nuts when Satyricon ended the concert with the classic Mother North.
Overall it was a great show from Satyricon just like the two I have seen before.
Repined Bastard Nation
The Wolfpack
Now, Diabolical
Supersonic Journey
Black Crow On A Tombstone
A New Enemy
Die By My Hand
Den Siste
The Pentagram Burns
Fuel For Hatred
Mother North
P.S: I have some pictures too, maybe I´ll post them later.

"Clean Eating" expert, Diane Welland, shares 9 simple tips to keep the holidays healthy.
Nine Tips for Clean Eating During the Holidays
You don't have to give up eating "clean" just because it's the holidays. Many of your favorite special-occasion treats can be "cleaned up" simply by swapping whole grains for refined ones, choosing low-fat dairy products, and using minimally processed sugars like honey or dehydrated cane juice sugar over granulated white or brown. Even if you do splurge on a few items, be smart and don't overindulge. Follow these nine tips and you can eat well, feel great, and celebrate the season without feeling guilty or deprived.

So we really know there is no "end of summer" when it comes to living in Florida. Like seriously. It's so hot that even alligators are sneaking in peoples' houses to stay cool. Ha ha. I'm kidding about that last part. My Eucerin ambassadorship is still truckin' along and this time the cool kids at Eucerin have asked me to talk a little bit about hydration and how insanely important it is. Especially during these hot months.
In this month's pack I got an awesome CamelBak bottle.
Have y'all ever used these? I'm in love with them. I've purchased 2 of my own but I love everything about this one because it's larger than my standard 22 oz bottle. Woot! I carry around a water bottle daily and the CamelBak rocks because it's virtually indestructible and the straw makes for easy gulping.
It's some kind of cool. And as always, I'm slathering my faithful Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizer all over.
It's my favorite daily moisturizer because it not only keeps the ash at bay but it also keeps me all protected with the SPF 15 dumped inside. This, y'all, is a necessity for everyone. And of course I especially love it because my eczema doesn't go all crazy on me. This tend to happens when I'm wearing body moisturizers that have a ton of fragrances in them. Thank you, Eucerin. Thank you so much.
I hope you gals and guys are staying cool. Later this month I am going to be hosting a Eucerin giveaway so stay tuned to those details. In the meantime, stay hydrated and keep that gorgeous bod of yours protected with SPF!
* Disclosure: I am a Eucerin ambassador and while I do not get paid to write these posts I did receive these products and a gift card as gifts.

Man pleads not guilty to burglary
BARRE A Berlin man has been charged with helping a man break into the Subway in Northfield where he worked and helped steal a little more than $3,000.
Andrew J. Dow, 20, pleaded not guilty to burglary and grand larceny, both felonies, in Washington County criminal court on Thursday. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and a $6,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, on Sept. 2, 2012, Dow closed the restaurant. Later that night, police say he and another man, who has not been charged, drove back to the store. Dow gave the man his keys, and the man went into Subway to the unlocked safe and took $3,238 in cash, according to the affidavit.
After reviewing the security camera footage, police say a man dressed in a red hooded sweatshirt enters the store through the front door around 4 a.m., walks behind the deli counter, crawls immediately to the safe, takes the money and then leaves.
The owner of the restaurant, Chris Atherton, told police that the safe was normally left unlocked and ajar because the combination is tricky.
Police say Dow bragged to people about the burglary, and police obtained text messages between Dow and a woman where he says he robbed the restaurant of $3,000.
When interviewed by police, Dow admitted to helping with the burglary, but said he was pressured by the other man to do it.
Also on that night, Dow said he and the man tried unsuccessfully to break into the Simply Subs II in Berlin and broke into the Gray Building in Northfield, but did not take anything. After the burglary, Dow said the other man took off his red hooded sweatshirt and threw it out the window while driving on Route 64.
Police say Dow and the other man split the stolen money up evenly and Dow used the money to buy a cellphone and a tablet computer.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Downtown Barre: New eatery gears up for busy summer
Mark Collier / Staff Photo Waitress Taylor Merriam tops off John Walter's cup of coffee as she makes rounds checking on the tables she's responsible for at the new L & M Diner in Barre. Walter, of East Calais, joined Fred Pearce, middle left, of Williamstown, Renee Pearce, middle right, also from Williamstown, and Mike Otis, far right for breakfast and good conversation Saturday morning.
BARRE — Creemee season is on its way and the L & M Diner on North Main Street in Barre will be serving 24 flavors come May 1.
"No one else in the world knows what a creemee is, but people around here love their creemees, they can't wait," says Alicia Coletti, co-owner of the diner.
She and husband Ted Coletti opened the diner's doors in November of last year and have had a great response to their new venture. Owners of the Mountain View Snack Bars in Morrisville, Stowe and Hardwick, the Colettis are very familiar with the spring creemee fever in Vermont, the first real ushering in of favorite summertime activities, even if it's still freezing.
The Colettis moved to Vermont from Long Island, New York, about nine years ago, joining family who had already made the move.
"We thought we'd try it and we stayed," Alicia said.
They also tried out running the first of their eventual three snack bars when the owner decided to sell his Morrisville Mountain View. After a few years they opened a new one in Hardwick and after another few years opened their Stowe location. Both Alicia and Ted attended the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island and owned a sandwich shop before moving to Vermont. The diner seemed like a logical next step.
"We heard the (Barre) building was for sale and we looked at it just as they were finishing up the street, which looked so nice. The place looked so cute and it seemed like a fun thing to do," Alicia said.
So the Colettis bought the building and set to work renovating the kitchen and tweaking some of the interior work. They put together a menu of diner fare incorporating and upgrading some of the snack bar offerings. With homemade specials and soups everyday, freshly made burgers to order, and fresh cut French fries it's no wonder the L & M is getting great reviews. So says patron Christopher Maloney: "This old diner has needed an operator who knows traditional diner fare. Now it has it. The quality of ingredients is excellent."
With three snack bars opening up for the summer season soon and the diner in full swing, the Colettis have their hands full. But if the diner continues to do well, opening another could be in the cards one day.
"We got L & M up and running and it's running smoothly. It's been fun; it's different than what we're used to. Opening a new place is kind of the exciting part of it all, to see what it will do. We like the excitement of starting something fresh," Alicia says.
Though neither of the Colettis foresaw being in Vermont or owning seasonal restaurants, it is something they're enjoying.
"It's cool. I like Vermont. We moved from Long Island because it's so hectic for the kids. I am glad to be here — overall it's a better place for them to grow up, not such a rat race," Alicia says.
Their two girls are the inspiration for the name of the diner: Lexington and Madison. Alicia says the hardest part about opening up the diner is that she and her husband no longer have the winters off to spend with their daughters.
But there have been no major hiccups for the couple, and the response from their lunch and weekend crowds has been nothing but positive.
"I like interacting more with the customers. It's more fun, getting to know them a bit better," Alicia says.
The Colettis hope that some of the new offices coming into Barre and the revitalization efforts overall will encourage business further.
"It's great to be here in Barre; it's different than what we are used to. It's looking so nice," Alicia says. "The people here have been really helpful. When we were first here, they led us in the right direction and involved us in the business community."
L & M is another emerging, successful business riding Barre's wave of growth and expanding the area's offerings to locals and tourists alike.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

text: One more thing I forgot to add - We can only absorb about 500 mg of calcium at a time, so look for tablets that are a max of 500 mg, and when you take your calcium supplement, spread it out throughout the day, and try not to take it with calcium-rich foods. This will help you get the most out of each source of calcium in your diet. Also, if you take the carbonate form of calcium, you should take it with a little food to aid absorption.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS11743061
The docking station is located on the water supply tube at the far back. It provides water to the upper and middle spray arm and also includes the flappers.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
The upper arm was held in by a torx screw. The shoulder on the screw held the arm in place. Once removed I simply swapped parts and installed screw. The lower arm was held on by a plastic nut with knurled edges that you can remove by hand. The arm simply lifted off and I swapped arms again. The rollers are held on by a curled plastic lock that grips the wire basket.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Remove the racks top and bottom. The Station D seals are at the far back on the tube that supplies water to the top and middle spray heads. Unsnap the old one and snap in the new - it only goes one way! This will repair the seal aroound the tube that supplies the middle sprayer and restore pressure to all 3 heads. Repalcing the screen accumulator is harder. you need a torx driver. remove the little thumb nut on the bottom sprayer and remove the sprayer. Then remove the tube where you just replaced the D station. (You of course could have done this earlier if you were doing both repairs) then 6 screws on the impeller housing. Now remove the 1 torx screw on the impeller and pull the impeller up and off. Remove the 3 screws on the cover and 2 screws on the accumulator. Clean all the old food scraps that are clogging up the works and reassemble in reverse order. Washer is working again!!
First I read all the reports for not cleaning properly already listed on this site. I had to replace the docking station with flappers. When I removed the station I lost the flappers down the water delivery tube just like Jon said I would in his repair post so I removed the water distribution assembly fished out the old flappers and snapped in the new. But then I figured I might as well check out the accumulator while I was in the tub anyway - I had read that you need Torx screwdriver bit, which I had, undid the screws, pulled out the accumulator screen which was about 80% clogged, discovered I need a new chopper blade and my impeller is disintegrating, put it back together and lost ten minutes looking for the three screws I had incorrectly put in too soon, and now it is cleaning a packed full load like it was supposed to do.**I love this site - I went to the virtual repairman and it listed every problem I had with this appliance in the order they happened (door latch broke years ago). - I think I am going to look up stuff that I own so I will know ahead what could go wrong with them.And absolutely NO DUCT TAPE was used in this repair.
Removed the screws holding the door liner in place removed latch. Waited for half of the parts to get here, about 2 weeks. Parts got here except for Door latch and seal they were back ordered. One month after I ordered all parts finally arrive. Replace door latch assembly and replace door seal reinstall retaining screws....Done works good again. Parts were all the correct ones just took a long time to get here.
Removed assembly holding the docking station to insure the passageway was clear. I reversed the flappers and noticed an improvement in cleaning then decided to order a new part. Installation was simple and the repair seems to have worked well.
Removed top tray. Removed old wash arm (rotating) and installed new one using a screw driver.Manualy un-snapped station docking (w/flapper) and removed. Snapped in new one.
This repair was really three separate easy repairs.The top rack docking station is really simple -- pop the old one off and snap the new one on.The impeller is easy IF you have the right Torx screwdriver. You have to take a few layers of water handling plastic parts off to get the the impeller, but it's all pretty easy. I did strep a couple of Torx bits when I put one of the parts back on, but I've had this apart at least three times and they held up the first few times. I'll buy some new screws next time.There are a few things to keep in mind when changing the door latch and control panel. First, change the latch as soon as it breaks, instead of waiting for it to break more and destroy the control panel in the meantime. I'd have save $60 and most of the work if I hadn't put it off. Second, turn off the power. Changing the panel requires removing and replacing some wires, and it would be EASY to contact wires that you probably don't want to. A nutdriver makes quick work of everything that the Torx doesn't fit, and the remove/replace is pretty easy. Be attentive when refitting the ribbon cable for the control panel - if you're not familiar with this kind of connector you need to figure out the funky slidelock mechanism of the shell. It's easy though.All the parts fit perfectly, and appear to be factory exact replacements. It works fine now, too.
By reading online about some similar problems, I discovered that the accumulator did, in fact, have some holes worn through the screen and was leaking sediment back into the rinse water. After waiting for 2-3 months because the apart was on back-order at the factory, it took me less that 1 hour to remember how the unit went together (reviewed the parts diagram online) and connect everything up. On the first rinse, the dishes were really clean - well worth the wait. Doing dished by hand reminded me of the old days....
I noticed that the dishes on the top rack were not getting clean. While the dishwasher was running, I opened the door to see if the arms were moving/spraying and they were not. I cleaned the filter and checked the impeller and both were clean and not damaged. After looking how the top rack slides into the "flapper" I took it off to inspect it. It was missing the rubber to make the seal with the tube from the top rack. After replacing this part, the dishwasher is cleaning like new. Here is the part PS2340934 Docking Station with Flappers
Maytag should be ashamed to put such poor plastic material in an otherwise good design. The seals that join the rotary sprayers to the rear wall had hardened and crumbled away. When I discovered that water pressure had been lost at the spray arms, it was a simple fix. Snap off the failed parts, pay Partselect $37 because Maytag wanted to save a dime and snap in the new parts. (Parts that will fail again in another 3 years.)
I removed the shelves out of the dishwasher unsnapped the old parts and snapped in the new! Replaces the shelves and it is washing like a new machine! Thanks!
The old docking station seals were getting very soft. To put a band aid on the wound until the new docking station got here I put a sleve on the washer bar feeder tube. This made an improvement. The docking station was removed using a screw driver to unsnap the station. Then all I had to do was snap the new one in. Be care ful not to pull on the piece the docking station is snapped on to. There are metal clips behind there that hold that water delivery tube on to the back of the dishwasher. Those clips are twisted on and can be striped off easily by pulling strait towards you. If that happens you must secure the clips using self tapping screws and a water proof sealent.
Docking station just pops out, you grab the right side and pop it off. Replace by placing the left side in place and then push the right side until it snaps in place. VERY easy. The gaskets were worn out and that was allowing a lot of water to escape, not enough pressure to clean the dishes.
In the back of the dishwasher there are two docking stations for the racks to go into for the water to flow to the rack spinners. These stations have rubber gaskets and flaps in the back that totally wear out. Where our problem was mostly the top rack at first I just replaced the top one and the dishes got cleaner but not perfect. So then I ordered the second one and replaced that one too, now the dishes are perfectly clean all the time!! I would suggest replacing both at the sam time. Just pull off the old part and snap the new part into place. No tools needed. Have to remove the top rack to replace that one. The bottom one could be replaced with the rack pulled out. Thank goodness for Parts select!! This has been the worst dishwasher ever and I have replaced so many parts throught Parts Select. My $189 dishwasher I had before this high end dishwasher was much better-- I know why Maytag got bought out--poor quality!
Problem 1: The dishes on the top rack were frequently still dirty, as if they hadn't gotten rinsed thoroughly (especially in the corners). We have now replaced both the upper and lower docking stations in the back of the machine. Washing has much improved. I no longer have to post-wash my glasses!The docking stations snap off. Just be careful that the little gray flappers don't fall down inside the column they are attached to. You will have to remove the column (metal snaps on roof and back wall, then wiggle free from the bottom center) and fish them out. Our docking stations showed significant wear on the rim of each opening, as if things were not lining up correctly and it rubbed each time the rack was pushed back in. None of the flappers, old or new, seemed to create a fantastic tight seal against the rims. Perhaps they are meant to be pushed closed by the rushing water in the column?Problem 2: Broken door handle/latchThis is the second door handle/latch that has broken on this machine (only 5 years old). We had the same model in our previous house, and had to replace that handle within 2 years, as well. Replacement is simple removal of about 10 screws to open the door compartment. The part comes with new switches attached on the posts on each side, but they are not needed. Push in on the 2 little little prongs to snap them off, and use the existing switches (two brown and black little rectangular things attached to wires on the old latch). They just push on to the new part once you depress the little switch mechanism. Align the new latch with screw holes and replace screws.So 2 new dishwashers (one in 2002, another in 2004), each needing a new latch after about 2 years, and one of them needing ANOTHER new latch after another 2 1/2 years. We did notice this part was redesigned when we replaced the latch the first time on the 2004 DW. Much easier to replace! However, the point that stresses/breaks is still molded plastic around metal pins. That's the weak point. Poor design.

Nineteen people have died in a plane crash in Nepal. They were on their way to climb Mount Everest. The plane crashed into a field shortly after take-off from the capital Kathmandu. It was bound for Lukla, the starting point for a trek through the Himalayan mountains to the base camp of Mount Everest. ITV's Paul Davies reports.
KATMANDU, Nepal -- A plane carrying trekkers to the Everest region crashed and caught fire just after takeoff Friday in Nepal's capital, killing 19 people.
The victims included British, Chinese and Nepali passengers, authorities said.
The pilot of the domestic Sita Air flight reported trouble two minutes after takeoff, and Katmandu airport official Ratish Chandra Suman said the pilot appeared to have been trying to turn back.
The crash site is only 547 yards from the airport, and the wrecked plane was pointing toward the airport area.
Reuters said it was a twin-engine, propeller-driven Dornier aircraft.
Investigators were trying to determine the cause of the crash and identify the bodies. Suman said he could not confirm if the plane was already on fire before it crashed.
Villagers forced back by flames
Cellphone video shot by locals showed the front section of the plane was on fire when it first hit the ground and it appeared the pilot had attempted to land the plane on open ground beside a river.
The fire quickly spread to the rear, but the tail was still in one piece at the scene near the Manohara River on the southwest edge of Katmandu.
PhotoBlog: More images from the crash site
Villagers were unable to approach the plane because of the fire and it took some time for firefighters to reach the area and bring the fire under control.

Nepal officials: 6 survive, 15 killed as plane hits mountain in Himalayas
Soldiers and police shifted through the crash wreckage looking for bodies and documents to help identify the victims.
Seven passengers were British and five were Chinese; the other four passengers and the three crew members were from Nepal, authorities said.
Large numbers of local people and security forces gathered at the crash site. The charred bodies were taken by vans to the hospital morgue.
Gateway to Everest
The weather in Katmandu and surrounding areas was clear on Friday morning, and it was one of the first flights to take off from Katmandu's Tribhuwan International Airport. Other flights reported no problems, and the airport operated normally.
The plane was heading for Lukla, the gateway to Mount Everest. Thousands of Westerners make treks in the region around the world's highest peak each year. Autumn is considered the best time to trek the foothills of the Himalayan peaks.
More international coverage from NBC News
In May, 15 people were killed when their plane crashed into a hill in northwest Nepal.
Autumn is the peak tourism season in Nepal, which has eight of the world's 14 highest mountains, including Mount Everest. At least 11 people were killed in an avalanche in northwest Nepal on Sunday.

Fireworks, festivals and all that jazz
July 10, 2013 —
Even now, with the past week behind me, I get a little dizzy (hold the comments, please) just glancing at my schedule. With summer in full swing, my dance card is full and I'm running as fast as I can. For those of you holding events that I didn't have the opportunity to attend, my apologies. In the past seven days, I managed to get out to nine different locations, which ran the gamut from concerts to galleries to the theatre (oy, I'm out of breath), with a visit to the vet (wasp sting, don't ask) thrown in for good measure. Dharma and I have since recovered and we're now looking ahead, while reviewing where we've already been.
Last Tuesday, I pulled into the crowded lot at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwood scenter.org) and found the pre-show festivities (aka tailgating parties) in full swing before the Dave Matthews Band (DMB) hit the stage. The DMB crowd is always an "experience" and I was more than curious to speak with some folks who looked ever so slightly out of place. Thinking of the band's fan base as younger than myself, I found scores of people in attendance who remember JFK, which took me by surprise. With grown kids of their own, Laurie and Ira Kriegsman have attended more than 50 DMB concerts and showed no signs of slowing down. I also chatted with Maureen and Joe Telasco, who had driven from Hyde Park, NY for their "umpteenth" show, which seems to be the norm for the rabid fans who follow the tour from city to city, state to state. "We've lost count," Joe told me. "DMB is not just for the younger set."
As it happens, I loved the opening act, "Fitz and the Tantrums," a band I was completely unaware of but will be keeping an eye on now. Described as an "American neo-soul/indie pop" band (okay, then) from Los Angeles, their lead vocalist, Noelle Scaggs, was on fire, and I found Fitz's sound captivating. Most of the audience was still in the lot listening to DMB recordings, which was unfortunate, since it's really ok to turn the dial once in a while. For photos and additional commentary, "like" us on Facebook and check out another cool (in reality, steaming hot) night at Bethel Woods.
On Wednesday night, I took my usual seat on the aisle for "9 to 5, the Musical" in Forestburgh (www.FBplayhouse.org) and have given it my full attention in the form of a formal review in the Arts and Leisure section of The River Reporter online (enter at your own risk.)

Printmaking has been a significant part of James Strombotne's oeuvre since early on: his MFA thesis at Claremont was a suite of etchings inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. He had practiced intaglio, lithography and screenprinting before his first visits to Tamarind Lithography Workshop as a guest artist in 1963 and 1965, and when he returned there as an artist-fellow in 1968, Strombotne printed over 20 lithographs, among them the Recognitions suite. Using a dramatic graphic style and a brightly colored palette, Strombotne commented on contemporary social and political mores. Recognitions, according to the artist, was a summation of the artistic interests he had explored in various media in the previous decade.

- Handling instance correspondence in inter-organisational workflows
- Author(s)
- Zhao, Xiaohui; Liu, Chengfei; Yang, Yun; Sadiq, Wasim
- Abstract
- As business collaboration involves multiple business processes from different participating organisations, it becomes a challenging issue to manage the complex correspondence between instances of these business processes. Yet very limited support has been provided by inter-organisational workflow research. In this paper, we develop a formal method to specify instance correspondence based on a novel correspondence Petri net model. In this method, cardinality parameters are defined to represent cardinality relationships between collaborating business processes at build time, while correlation structures are designed to characterise correspondence between collaborating business process instances at run time. Corresponding algorithms are also developed to generate the correspondence Petri nets for collaborative business processes, and to trace instance correlation on the fly using the generated Petri nets.

Keep in mind that the duration and intensity of your activity will dictate how often and what you should eat and drink. For example, you'll need more energy from food to run a marathon than to walk around the block.
When it comes to eating and exercise, everyone is different. So pay attention to how you feel during your workout and to your overall performance. Let your experience guide you on which pre- and post-exercise eating habits work best for you. Consider keeping a journal to monitor how your body reacts to meals and snacks so that you can tweak your diet for optimal performance.

Spokane County takes over management of jail
A changing of the guard is ahead for the Spokane County Jail after county commissioners voted unanimously to take over management of the jail and Geiger Corrections Center.
Both the jail and Geiger are currently managed by the Spokane County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich actually proposed this change last year in a move to restructure the criminal justice system.
"I agree with the Sheriff's proposal and this is consistent with what we see in Yakima, Chelan and King Counties," Commissioner Todd Mielke said in a written statement.
"We need to have a financially sustainable criminal justice system that appropriately administers justice, reduces recidivism, and is sensitive to victim's rights. It simply doesn't make sense for one set of elected officials to be responsible for the budgeting of these programs, and a separate elected official responsible for the day-to-day operations," Mielke added.
The county believes the change will help better manage detention services and takes effect in June.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the support and overwhelming kindness family, friends and supporters provided in helping me attain my goal of competing in the Junior Olympics.
I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life, providing moral support and instilling in me the values of perseverance, diligence, and the courage to succeed.
Because of your efforts and generosity, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to compete with other athletes my age in the 2014 Junior Olympics in Des Moines, Iowa and I'm happy to report that my hard work and determination provided for a very rewarding experience.
On Tuesday, July 26, I ran the 200-meter dash, placing 27th out of 90 females in the 13-year-old category. I was so excited because I surpassed my personal best, running a time of 26.0 seconds, only .07 short of advancing to the semifinals.
On Thursday, July 28, I competed in the long jump with a jump of 15 feet, 6 1/4 inches, placing 13th out of 69 females and barely missing a medal by a mere 1 foot, 1 1/4 inches.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and the opportunity to compete with equally talented young ladies at the Junior Olympics. I look forward to next year's competition in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Again, thank you for the continued support in my athletic endeavors and for making my dream possible.

A Very Pregnant Gisele Bundchen Rocks A Leopard-Print Bikini In Miami
We spotted Gisele Bundchen spending the day at the beach in Miami, Florida, on Sunday. The supermodel showed off her baby bump in a tiny, leopard-print bikini and straw hat. Not many women are brave enough to don bikinis when they are so far along in their pregnancies, but Gisele definitely has the body to do it!
It won't be too long for Bundchen and her husband, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, to welcome their second child. In August the Brazilian model reportedly told South American network TV Global that she was five months along.
She and Tom have a son named Benjamin Rein Brady, who turns three next month. The football star also has a 5-year-old son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Gisele and Tom are the second wealthiest couple in the world. According to Forbes magazine, they had a net worth of $72 million from August 2011 to August 2012.

Power analysis
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
Bonnie J. Taylor
posted on Friday, February 11, 2000 - 12:55 pm
I would like to perform a power analysis following the procedure of Satorra and Saris (1985). How can I output the model implied covariance matrix and mean vector?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, February 11, 2000 - 4:25 pm
You do a run where you fix all the parameters to the desired values and request RESIDUAL to get the estimated mean vector and covariance matrix. In this run you can use means and covariance input with dummy values, for example using zeros for the means and an identity matrix for the covariance matrix.
We have a couple of pages that describe the steps for Satorra-Saris power calculation in a growth model setting which we discuss in our courses and we will shortly post this information on our web site. This includes how to get the power value from the non-centrality parameter (the "chi-square" value).

Dear Dr. Muthen:
In Muthen & Curran (1996) and Curran & Muthen (1996), parameter values in the growth model were chosen so that the difference between the treatment and control group means at the last time point scaled by the pooled s.d. at the last time point represented a effect size of 0.20.
Could you please explain how to shoose parameter values (e.g., slope mean and variance, correlation between the intercept and slope, et al.) in the first step for Satorra-Saris power calculation for a given effect size (e.g., 0.20)?
Thank you very much for your help.

You need to know how to calculate means and variances for the outcomes given a certain growth model with a certain choice of population parameter values. Given this, the simplest way is choosing parameter values that give the desired effect size using trial and error.

Hi there,
I am new to mplus and am confused about setting the start values in monte carlo for an LTA model. I would like to run an mc for a power analysis and am trying to use example 8.13 as a guide.
I would like to see what power I have at N=300, 400 and 500 to test the possibility that x (continuous variable), is posititvely correlated with membership in high-risk drinking classes c2#1 and c1#1. I want to test the x effects as small, med and large effects over the different sample sizes. I originally wanted to use the classic cohen values, r=.1, .3 and .5 to represent small, med, and large effects, respectively, but realize that this is more like a logistic regression and am thus confused as to what start values I should use to test these different effect size levels.
In the example 8.13, you suggest "c2#1 ON c1#1*.5 x*1;" but I have no idea what x*1 would actually be in terms of an effect size. Can you tell me how best to represent different effect sizes in the mplus code?
I was also curious why "c2#1 on x*.2;" under the specific model "%c1#1%" while it appears differently in the %overall% command (i.e., c2#1 ON c1#1*.5 x*1;)
Thanks so much for your help!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, October 04, 2007 - 12:48 pm
Effect size has a different meaning when the dependent variable is categorical and is not as easily settled. You are interested in an effect of x on c in the multinomial logistic regression of c on x. So instead you have to ask yourself how much the probability of being in a certain c class changes as a function of x changing, say by 1 SD. You have to decide what a small/medium/large probability change is. Note, however, that the probability change is different for a 1 SD x change at low, medium, and high x values. You can use UG Chapter 13 formulas to compute the probabilities.
You may also take a look at logistic regression books to see if any counterpart to effect size appears, but I doubt that.
Regarding your last question, the overall c2#1 on x will apply to the last class whereas the c1#1-specific statement refers to the first class. This is how you represent the model picture's broken line.

I ran a mixture model in mplus with two latent classes. I am now interested in simulating a 2 class model with 235 observations to see how much power I�d have. I can�t seem to get the thing to run.
Especially, for two classes I get two estimates for threshold (one for each class). My question is, how I can specify twi threshold GENERATE command under MONTECARLO.

I have run power analysis, does "% Sig coff" indicate the power?
Thank you,
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 - 1:27 pm
The column labeled % Sig Coeff gives the proportion of replications for which the null hypothesis that a parameter is equal to zero is rejected at the .05 level (two-tailed test with a critical value of 1.96). The statistical test is the ratio of the parameter estimate to its standard error, an approximately normally distributed quantity (z-score) in large samples. For parameters with population values different from zero, this value is an estimate of power with respect to a single parameter, that is, the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. For parameters with population values equal to zero, this value is an estimate of Type I error, that is, the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.
Owis Eilayyan
posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 - 6:45 pm
So when I get zero for all parameters means that my null hypothesis is true but I reject it. But I already got p-value<0.05 for some of these parameters!
Does that also mean the model does not have enough power to run with the current sample size?
Thank you,

Swimming Upstream
By Drs. Rick and Jan Hanson
When I think back to my own mom, she always seemed so on top of things. I feel dismayed and guilty that I'm not handling things as well and feel a lot more frazzled than she seemed to be.
Let's step back for a minute and look at how we got here. During more than 99% of the time that humans (or our close ancestors) have lived on this planet, mothers raised families in small groups of hunter-gatherers. If you had been among them, your life would have moved at the speed of a walk while you provided for your needs and fulfilled your ambitions with a child on your hip or nearby. You would have eaten fresh and organic foods saturated in micro-nutrients and breathed air and drunk water free of artificial chemicals. Most important of all, you would have spent much of your day with other mothers, surrounded by a supportive community of relatives, friends, and neighbors. These are the conditions to which your body and mind are adapted for raising children.
Unfortunately, while the essential activities of mothering - pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, worrying and planning and loving with all your heart - have not altered one bit, our world has changed profoundly, and evolution hasn't had time to catch up. You and we are genetically identical to the first modern humans of 200,000 years ago, and nearly identical to our earliest tool-using ancestors, who lived over two million years ago. Nonetheless, at odds with this basic genetic blueprint, most mothers today must rush about stressfully, constantly juggling and multi-tasking. Few modern jobs can be done with young children around, so working means spending much of the day separated from your kids – and the stresses of the unnatural schedule and pace they must then handle affect them in ways that naturally spill over onto you. Compared to our ancestors, most of us eat much fewer vegetables and whole foods, and much more white flour, sugar, and artificial chemicals, and we can't help absorbing some of the billions of pounds of toxins released into the environment each year, which even leave traces in breast milk. The so-called village it takes to raise a child usually looks more like a ghost town, so you have to rely more on your mate than did mothers in times past – but he, too, is strained by the unprecedented busyness and intensity of modern life.
If you feel like you're swimming upstream, it's because raising children was not meant to be this way. Many of the problems that seem purely personal or marital actually start on the other side of your front door.
Of course, the world is not going to change back to the time of the hunter-gatherers (and we'd miss refrigerators and telephones too much if it did!). And those times certainly had their own difficulties, such as famine or disease. But, like every mother, you can't help but feel the impact of the whirlwind we're all living in. Just how you're affected is as individual as a baby's footprint. Some mothers are fortunate to have low demands, substantial resources, and low vulnerabilities. All too often, however, the demands are high, resources are low, and resilience gets worn down: a mother's "cupboard" gets emptied out and shaken and it's an uphill struggle to get anything back in. No wonder that, over time, some signs of wear begin to show.
That's why we think it's so important you and every mother to take active steps to lower her stresses and increase her resources: that's mother nurture.

When we asked Ella Catliff, Editor of brilliant blog http://www.ella-lapetiteanglaise.com, to give one Spring Summer 2012 trend a catwalk-to-reality road test exclusively for Grazia Daily, she jumped at the chance to go ladylike. Here's how she got on…
I've always admired girls who can rock the model-off-duty look, especially this season what with it being the Olympic year and all. But while I can appreciate the cool factor of Isabel Marant's sell-out wedge high tops, sports luxe just isn't my cup of tea. Tracksuit bottoms with heels? Not on your life. Flatforms and flip flops? No thank you!
Instead I'll be taking my que from a certain Mr Marc Jacobs whose Spring Summer 2012 collection for Louis Vuitton was the very epitome of ladylike chic. Give me peplums and pastels and Peter Pan collars, cinched waists and kitsch prints galore. I mean, what better way to get in the mood for summer than with delicate dresses in sugar sweet shades? Yep, as far as I'm concerned, candy coloured confections and broiderie anglaise are the order of the day; laser cut lace adorned with whimsical bows.
While Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang may be embracing haute sport, it wasn't just Marc Jacobs who went down a more girlish route. The SS12 catwalks were awash with sugar and spice and all things nice, from Dior's chiffon goddess gowns to Miu Miu's mint green court shoes. Back here in London, homegrown designers got in on the act with Erdem offering up garden party elegance while Meadham Kirchoff gave the look a madcap spin via cartoon applique and marabou feathers in eye-popping hues. You could opt for retro Americana a la Miuccia Prada or channel 1950s femininity like Jonathan Saunders. Ladylike chic comes in many variations, just add kitten heels, pop socks and you're ready to go.

- Abstract
- We measure moments of the galaxy count probability distribution function in the Two-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The survey is divided into volume-limited subsamples in order to examine the dependence of the higher-order clustering on galaxy luminosity. We demonstrate the hierarchical scaling of the averaged p-point galaxy correlation functions, ξ̄p, up to p = 6. The hierarchical amplitudes, Sp = S2Sp-1, are approximately independent of the cell radius used to smooth the galaxy distribution on small to medium scales. On larger scales we find that the higher-order moments can be strongly affected by the presence of rare, massive superstructures in the galaxy distribution. The skewness S3 has a weak dependence on luminosity, approximated by a linear dependence on log luminosity. We discuss the implications of our results for simple models of linear and non-linear bias that relate the galaxy distribution to the underlying mass.

Easy Appetizers for Your Thanksgiving Dinner Part III: Hummus
There's one thing that's always a staple at my house: hummus. I looooove making it. It is surprisingly easy and only takes a few ingredients.
My friends and family know that any time there is a party, potluck or gathering, my hummus will be there! So naturally, my last suggested appetizer for your Thanksgiving (or any holiday) dinner is....drumroll...HUMMUS! Here's an original recipe. All you need is your trusted food processor.
Extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons tahini (can substitute with peanut butter)
Cayenne, turmeric and cumin to taste
2 cans chickpeas
1) Fill bottom of food processor about an ⅛ inch with olive oil.
2) Add the juice from the lemon, garlic clove, salt, pepper, tahini, plus a pinch of cayenne, turmeric and cumin (less or more depending on your preferred spice level) and mix everything together.
3) Add chickpeas. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may have to add the cans one at a time. Mix until you get a creamy consistency.
4) Taste and add spices as needed.
Serve with drizzled olive oil and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Pair with carrots, fresh pita or lentil chips.
Yes, making hummus is that easy! Sometimes, I like to add roasted red peppers or black beans to give it a bit more flavor. Anything is possible. Well, almost anything...
