I can only pump a small amount ( I have the Medela Pump in Style) I don't even get half an ounce and it is still somewhat yellowish. Does this mean my mature milk has not come in yet?

Britten's music plays central role in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom
(May 2012)
The soundtrack to Wes Anderson's new movie, Moonrise Kingdom, is rich in music by classical composer Benjamin Britten, whose centenary is celebrated in 2013. Beyond its use on the soundtrack, the music drawn from Britten's opera for children, Noye's Fludde, and his Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, played an integral role in the movie's conception.
The film, now on general release, opened this year's Cannes Film Festival and at the post-screening press conference Wes Andersen revealed that "the Britten music had a huge effect on the whole movie, I think. The movie's sort of set to it. The play of Noye's Fludde that is performed in it - my older brother and I were actually in a production of that when I was ten or eleven, and that music is something I've always remembered, and made a very strong impression on me. It is the colour of the movie in a way."
> Watch the official trailer
"The story is set in early September 1965, and concerns a pair of twelve-year-olds: Sam Shakusky, an orphan and a nerd, who is a camper in a Khaki Scout camp on an island in New England, and Suzy Bishop, a lonely and stylish literary dreamer who lives in a nearby town with her parents and three younger brothers. They met a year earlier—the flashback is one of the greatest cinematic evocations of love at first sight—backstage at a local church production of Benjamin Britten's Noye's Fludde, they corresponded for a year, and then, when Sam returned to camp, they decided to run away together."
The New Yorker
"The movie takes its odd but attractive keynote of high-mindedness from the music of Benjamin Britten. Suzy and her siblings listen to Britten's Young Persons' Guide to the Orchestra, and Suzy performs in a church production of Noye's Fludde, the resonance of which work reveals itself in the movie's tempestuous final act. The music is an interesting assertion of the Anglo-Saxon character of this parochial, islanded corner of America – evoked not with conventional nostalgia, but rather with a connoisseurship of how strange and different it seems."
The Guardian
"One of the chief pleasures of the movie is the Benjamin Britten music, which constantly emphasises that this is no ordinary entertainment but one with more delicacy than Hollywood could aspire to."
Evening Standard
"Intriguingly, Anderson, who often uses 1960s British pop music to underscore his films' emotional content, looks to Benjamin Britten this time around. A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra sets the tone in Suzy's household, while the island locals are performing Britten's Noye's Fludde as the storm closes in."
Daily Telegraph
"The children and parents are in separate rooms, a spatial configuration that underscores that they might as well inhabit separate universes (which they do). Early in the scene one of the boys puts on a record of Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, which the composer, working off Purcell's Moor's Revenge, wrote as an instruction for children about musical composition. The use of Young Person's Guide — which introduces the individual instruments of an orchestra and then joins them in a fugue — is clever in that it underlines the construction and framework in a collaborative artwork like this film."
New York Times
"Even more than in his previous work, the dialogue and music possess an extreme degree of declarative definitiveness that works as an aural correlative to the visuals. … Alexandre Desplat composed the excellent score, but his work is only a component of an extraordinarily complex soundtrack. Music by Britten is dominant, particularly from Noye's Fludde (Noah's Flood), a work by the English composer first performed in 1958 that could have been appropriated by Anderson for use in this watery context or, more likely, served as inspiration for the inundation that climaxes the film. The way Britten is joined on the track by a mix of Saint-Saens, Mozart, Schubert, Hank Williams and Desplat is remarkable and deserving of an essay of its own."

>We are longtime lovers of YoBaby products (well, Stonyfield Farm in general) in the Bargain household. It is a love affair that began when Busy was a baby and has continued on through all 3 kids.
Right now the favorites are the 3-in-1 meal and the fruit &cereal lines. Baby B likes them because they taste yummy. I like them because I know they are all natural, organic ingredients- everything in the container is a good, healthy ingredient. I also love the convenience- when we're out and about, its so easy to toss a small yogurt cup into the cooler bag with a spoon, and know she'll have a good, wholesome meal (or in her case, snack, since my tiny little peanut eats more than my bigger 2 kids!). They are also an easy option if someone else is going to be around for mealtime, and isn't used to feeding a tiny little baby who grabs at everything.
YoBaby Meals are made from ingredients you can actually pronounce. The sweet potato & apple is the biggest hit around here so I'll share that ingredient list: CULTURED PASTEURIZED ORGANIC WHOLE MILK, ORGANIC APPLE PURÉE, NATURALLY MILLED ORGANIC SUGAR, ORGANIC SWEET POTATO PURÉE, PECTIN, ZINC GLUCONATE, VITAMIN D3. CONTAINS OUR EXCLUSIVE BLEND OF SIX LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES: S. THERMOPHILUS, L. BULGARICUS, L. ACIDOPHILUS, BIFIDUS, L. CASEI, AND L. RHAMNOSUS. Ok, maybe the active cultures aren't the easiest thing to pronounce in the world. But really, if you compare that ingredient list to most brands in your grocer's dairy section, this is nothing. I LOVE products that have no high fructose corn syrup.
The meals come in 3 flavors- the sweet potato & apple, pear & green beans, and peaches & squash. We haven't tried the peach and likely won't, as Busy and I are both allergic to peaches as is my father in law- maybe we should, but we just haven't. Both of my bigger kids have tried these as well- they like them although when she read that there were vegetables in the yogurt, Busy looked at me like I'd lost my mind. She didn't read the label until she'd eaten it. She thought it was yummy but is "too big" for baby food. Sigh.
YoBaby meals are something we try to keep in the house – its a good, wholesome snack or mini meal, made from all natural, organic ingredients. Its hard to go wrong with that combination!
So now that I've shared how great YoBaby meals are, I bet you want to try them for yourself. You can, in most grocer's dairy or organic sections. You can also win some!!
YoBaby is offering one This Mama reader a gift pack consisting of:
2 free trial coupons for YoBaby 4-packs

Visiting restaurateur, chef from Slovakia serving up their talents at PB's Cafe Cellini
- 9:09 pm Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 by M.M. Cloutier
Two chefs who preside over an acclaimed village restaurant in Slovakia are bringing to Palm Beach their talent and their passion for the international Slow Food movement.
Ivan Kotzig and Norbert Benka are here now—their U Juhasa restaurant in Slovakia closes during the winter—and they're guest-chefs (primarily Benka) through at least mid-March at Palm Beach's Café Cellini (2505 S. Ocean Blvd.; www.cafecellini.com; 588-1871).
"Ivan is a friend of mine," says Café Cellini's owner Gregory Gavakis, a native of Greece. "When his restaurant in Slovakia closed for the winter and he and Norbert were coming to Florida, we decided on their being [More]

House Fire Kills Gouverneur Man
Fire investigators believe burning grease started a house fire that left one person dead in Gouverneur Tuesday night.
Gouverneur police say the fire at 66 Austin Street claimed the life of 22 year old Brian Mandigo, who lived there.
(Read the obituary for Brian Mandigo here.)
Investigators say they believe Mandigo was deep-frying food on an electric stove when he left it unattended. It overheated and started a grease fire that spread quickly.
Police and firefighters were called there just after 11 p.m.
Firefighters found Mandigo even though their efforts to find anyone inside were hampered by heavy smoke and fire.
They located his body on the living room floor, about 10 to 15 feet from the front door.
He was found near a couch, where officials say he might have been dozing.
Officials say the building was fully involved when firefighters arrived.
"The first floor and the second floor windows -- flames were coming out approximately 10 to 15 feet," said Gouverneur Fire Chief Steve Young.
Young credited firefighters with saving the homes on each side of the burning building, both of which had vinyl siding damage because of the heat.
Mandigo was taken to E.J. Noble Hospital in Gouverneur, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say an autopsy is pending.

It drives me INSANE when our fans cheer for players with other jerseys on that are killing us.
I hate Michael Jordan more then any other sports athlete, the guy killed us year after year. Yet when he returned to the Garden, some Knicks fans would cheer him. Some Knicks fans wanted him to score, and went crazy when he did came back as a Wizard.
I dare one of you Knicks fans to call yourself a Knicks fan if you cheered for Michael Jordan, because your NOT.
And if you cheered for Kobe tonight while we are fighting for playoff position, then you guys are fake little *****. Do the Knicks organization and their real fans a favor and don't wear our merchandise.

Every year, the color experts at Pantone get together and consult their crystal balls to tell us what's going to be happening in the year ahead. The company's track record on predicting elections and natural disasters is somewhat spotty, but when it comes to telling us which colors will be hot in the coming 12 months, Pantone's usually right on the nose. Last year it was Tangerine Tango, which indeed dominated the warm months of 2012. For 2013, things are a little bit tamer - classic, regal Emerald is Pantone's 2013 Color of the Year.
Emerald is more lively than Hunter and more muted than Kelly; it's a perfect medium, as greens go, and it can function as a neutral in the same way that a deep blue does. It's also a color that looks at home on a variety of skin tones and as a part of many different personal styles. If you're someone who's more comfortable with neutrals and hoping to give your wardrobe a little bit of a push, Emerald is both an effective and relatively safe way to do it. Below, we've searched out the best emerald handbags on the market right now, just in case you want to get a start on the trend. After all, 2013 is but a few weeks away.

This has been one of the worse days of my life. I've been told by the docs that I need to stop breastfeeding directly. DD2 was born with a straberry birthmark on her lip and because that area is so sensible, the friction with the breast has caused an ulcer in the lip. It has been ten days and the wound is just getting bigger and bigger.
The docs said that I must keep the area dry and feed her by dropper or spoon. I tried doing that today and she spilled half of it out. Anyone out there that has done it, please give me some pointers.
I have plenty of milk, I think I have over supply so pumping will not be a problem, but I am soooo sad she won't be sucking my breast, for a while.
I am extremely sad and disapointed. Breastfeeding DD1 (21 months) was the most beautiful experience, I have becomed involved locally, I am in the process of becoming a LLL Leader and I even took a Lactation Educator course in the US when I was visiting (I live in South America), all because of such a beautiful experience. I was so looking forward to BF DD2. I am not sure I can describe how I feel, I know that I need to do what is best for my daugther and that is to heel the wound, but I am thinking that I will at least BF once a day, just to put her to sleep and see if just by feeding her once a day won't affect the healing process.
Thank you all for listening (reading) I really need to express myself, nobody here understands me (except my husband who is away on a business trip), Nobody understands what I will loose by her not feeding and us looking straight into our eyes, I think some of you understand what I mean. My hope is that this will heal soon and she will get back into her favorite feeding mechanism, but the docs were not very optimistic since they think that once it heals it could start all over again once she gets on the breast again.

The odd part about Oren Peli's success is that with each new film, the "Paranormal Activity" creator said he's actually feels less pressure to deliver. That's a pretty amazing sense of calm to have given the filmmaker's budgets have grown astronomically since the first "Paranormal" film in 2007.
You have to remember, the blockbuster horror thriller only took a reported $15,000 to make , yet raked in more than $193 million in ticket sales worldwide.
"The most pressure I felt was for the first 'Paranormal Activity,' because when it was released, whether it was going to be a hit or not, I knew it was going to be a life-altering event for me," Peli told me in a recent interview. "Since the film has opened so many doors for me, I actually feel like I don't have anything to prove anymore and instead just enjoying the opportunities that I have. Now it's about finding projects that I'm going to be fascinated about and enjoy making them."
But make no mistake about it. Just because Peli feels less pressure, it doesn't mean he's going to put less thought into the creative process. The less he worries, in fact, the more creative energy he generates: a valuable personality trait that powers his new horror thriller "Chernobyl Diaries," opening in theaters nationwide on Friday.
Written and produced by Peli and directed by Bradley Parker, "Chernobyl Diaries" follows six extreme tourists who hire a guide to help them explore the abandoned Ukrainian city of Pripyat -- a place left vacant by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster 25 years earlier. But when the group becomes trapped in the city and night falls upon them, they discover they may not be alone.
The film, of course, is grounded in historical events. In 1986, Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant reactor No. 4 exploded, and as a result of the catastrophe, radioactive contamination greater than the amount of 400 atomic bombs was released into the atmosphere.
Peli told me he was shocked that no films have really addressed the Chernobyl disaster.
"When I started looking into the whole Chernobyl thing, I was surprised to find that have been no movies made about it," Peli said. "There have been video games made about Chernobyl and Pripyat. I thought it was a very sad, fascinating and eerie location, so it made perfect sense to me to be a very scary setting for a horror movie."
Peli explained that his idea for the "Chernobyl Diaries" came about by pure happenstance, when he stumbled on the Internet video footage and photos taken by extreme tourists in Pripyat. Little did Peli know, Pripyat, a city of 50,000 people next to Chernobyl nuclear plant, was evacuated literally overnight.
"I knew about Chernobyl but not about the abandoned city next to it," Peli said. "When you think about it, it makes sense that there would be a town next to it where the workers of Chernobyl were housed. I didn't know it existed and I didn't know you could visit it with the right tour guide under the right circumstances."
Also grounded in truth, Peli said, is that people really do visit Chernobyl as extreme tourists -- also known as shock tourists -- a twisted fact that stirred his curiosity.
"The fact that it's become somewhat of a tourist attraction is very mind-blowing to me," Peli said. "So I started thinking, 'If I were traveling through Europe and I was in the neighborhood, would I be tempted to visit?' And then I wondered, 'What kind of things could go wrong there?'"
While "Chernobyl Diaries" was filmed in Eastern Europe in Belgrade, Serbia and outside of Budapest, Hungary, Peli said he initially explored the idea of shooting the film in the real Pripyat.
"At the very early stages of the film, when I started looking into locations, I wanted to visit there and we were actually thinking about shooting part of the movie there. We just thought it would make a lot of sense," Peli recalled. "But what forever reason the Ukrainian government shut down tourism throughout most of 2011, so were unable to do it."
Peli said any reason to increase the push to film there fell by the wayside after he and his fellow filmmakers met with their nuclear scientist adviser about the potential dangers.
"He said, 'If you went there, you could hold up a Geiger counter and it'll show that the radiation was safe,'" Peli recalled. "But then he said, 'If you were going to walk around there and kick the wrong pile of dust, it may be hiding radiation. If you breathe in one of those radiation dust particles and it lodges in your lungs, that's no good.'"
Anybody who knows Peli's work (he produced the smash hits "Insidious" and two "Paranormal Activity" sequels) knows that the Israeli-born filmmaker doesn't exactly prescribe to the slash, gash and gore school of horror movie thought.
That's not to say he doesn't enjoy those sorts of films; instead, he just that he likes to focus on what scares him most: suspense brought on by the fear of the unknown.
"A particular monster or something like that doesn't frighten me as much as being confronted by something and not knowing what it is," Peli said. "It could be an invisible demon or a ghost -- you don't know what it is or what it wants from you."
As to his fears and how it relates to 'Chernobyl Diaries,' Peli said the tension in the atmosphere is amped up by the loss of control.
"You're helpless, you're in a foreign land and in an abandoned town, and on top of all the problems you'd have normally in an abandoned ghost town, you have radiation," Peli observed. "Plus, it's the middle of the night, you're hearing some sort of human or inhuman entity screaming, and it makes you wonder, 'What the hell is it? Is it something good or something bad? How I defend myself against it?' It's scary not having control of the situation."

Top-ranked Eagles fall to SUU, 30-27
When you live life so close to the edge, sooner or later you are bound to fall off.
In an old-fashioned Big Sky Conference shootout, Southern Utah scored the final 10 points of the game to upset Eastern Washington University in a league football clash Saturday (Sept. 27) at Eccles Coliseum in Cedar City, Utah.
In a game that featured five lead changes and no lead of more than seven points, both teams finished with nearly 500 yards of offense. But a missed Eastern field goal with 2:51 left and a made SUU field goal with three seconds remaining was the difference as the Eagles fell from their perch as the No. 1 team in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision.
Southern Utah improved to 4-5 overall and 3-3 in the Big Sky, while EWU's five-game winning streak came to an end. The Eagles are now 6-2 overall and 5-1 in the league.
"A lot of things happen during the course of the game and that's just football," Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin said after EWU lost a 27-20 lead it held deep into the fourth quarter. "You have to find a way to regroup and come back. We have to clean-up some of the little things that got us today."
Eastern had been no stranger to close wins in the last three games, but that didn't happen against the Thunderbirds. Entering the game, the Eagles had won their last two Big Sky games by three points, and two other league outings by six. Eastern has won 10 games the last three seasons when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter, including a 31-24 home win victory over Sorensen and SUU in 2010.
Eastern returns home to face No. 11 Cal Poly (Nov. 3) and UC Davis (Nov. 10), then ends the regular season at Portland State (Nov. 17).
"Everybody in the Big Sky has been playing close games all year – it's a tough conference," said Baldwin. "Every team has 63 scholarships and it is hard to win every week. If you are a little off and the other team makes a few more plays, you can be in trouble."
On a day when Eastern managed only 91 rushing yards, quarterbacks Kyle Padron and Vernon Adams combined to pass for 404 yards. However, Sorensen was up to the task, passing for 392 yards on 33-of-43 passing with one interception and one touchdown.
Adams started both halves and finished 11-of-15 for 181 yards and a score, and Padron relieved him and was 24-of-35 for 223 yards. Both quarterbacks were sacked twice.
Junior receiver Brandon Kaufman finished with a career-high 10 catches for a career-high 192 yards. He has gone over the 100-yard mark five times this season and 13 times in his career. The 2010 All-American entered the game ranked second in the Big Sky and 10th in FCS in receiving yards per game (101.6).
Junior Ashton Clark had a career-high 11 catches for 86 yards and a touchdown, with his catch total ranking 12th in school history. Junior Ronnie Hamlin had 13 tackles to lead the Eagle defense, and T.J. Lee added nine with a sack. Senior Jerry Ceja had his ninth sack of the season.
Eastern got off to a sluggish start, and the Thunderbirds scored their first touchdown in the first quarter all season with a blocked punt that was returned 41 yards for a touchdown.
Finally, on EWU's fourth possession of the quarter, the Eagle offense got untracked with a six-play, 80-yard TD drive. Padron passed 14 yards for the score to Nicholas Edwards, who scored his first touchdown of the season after finishing 2011 with a school-record 19 touchdown receptions.
After a SUU field goal, Eastern's Jimmy Pavel made a 45-yarder to make him a perfect 12-of-12 for the season. Padron had two incompletions on the last two plays of the 11-play, 47-yard scoring drive after starting the game 8-of-9 for 116 yards.
Another trade of field goals – including a 23-yarder by Pavel – knotted the score at halftime 13-13. Eastern had a 239-189 advantage in the first half, but the Eagles had only 16 rushing yards and 223 through the air.
The third quarter started with a trade of scores too, with Eastern taking a short-lived 20-13 lead on a four-play, 53-yard drive led by Adams. Demitrius Bronson scored on a 4-yard TD run, but a 46-yard pass play by SUU led to a score which tied the game at 20.
The Eagles followed with a four-play, 73-yard drive, taking just 1:00 off the clock. After a 35-yard pass play from Adams to Kaufman, Adams passed 18 yards to Clark for the TD.
McKenzie Murphy, playing with a padded cast on his left arm, intercepted Sorensen deep in Eastern territory to stall a SUU drive. Murphy broke his thumb against North Dakota and subsequently had surgery, and played against SUU after missing the Montana State and Sacramento State games.
But EWU had a turnover on its next possession, as Bronson coughed up the ball at the SUU 10 on the second play of the fourth quarter. Bronson had 44 yards on that drive after having only six up to that point. In the third quarter alone, Eastern had a 201-88 offensive advantage in the third quarter.
"A few times we made some mistakes, especially going in to score," said Baldwin. "But you have to hand it to them too. Sometimes teams will force you into some mistakes as well. It was just a good hard-fought battle and they made a few more plays than we did."
Southern Utah came back to knot the score at 27, and then Pavel missed his first field goal of the season – a 37-yarder with 2:51 to play that may have been partially deflected by SUU. That ended an Eastern drive of 55 yards that was directed by Padron.
Sorensen then marched the Thunderbirds on a 10-play, 61-yard drive, capped by Colton Cook's third field goal of the game – a 36-yarder.
Two years ago, during Eastern's march to the NCAA Division I title, Sorensen completed 34-of-53 passes for 434 yards and two touchdowns, and he had his team primed for an upset against the then fifth-ranked Eagles. In the third quarter alone, Eastern was out-gained 161-4 and the game was tied at 24 in the fourth quarter.
But thanks to a pair of interceptions by Eastern's Jesse Hoffman on SUU's final two possessions, the Eagles were able to prevail 31-24. Eastern won the turnover battle 4-1 against a team that had only had eight turnovers in its first 10 games of the season. And Eastern recorded six sacks and had 11 passes broken up.

Nearly 700 bags of heroin hidden under 5-year-oldFebruary 02,2014By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
WESTMINSTER - A Springfield woman was jailed after police said they found nearly 700 bags of heroin beneath her child's car seat.
Eugenia Emerson, 33, is facing a felony charge of heroin trafficking after police stopped her on Interstate 91 Saturday night for what they described as defective equipment and a lane violation.
While stopped, police walked a canine unit around the exterior of the car, and when the dog signaled there were drugs inside, Emerson gave police permission to search her car, police said.
According to police, they found 690 bags of heroin under the cushion where her 5-year-old child was seated.
Emerson was taken to Springfield jail on $5,000 bail. She was free as of Sunday afternoon, according to the Department of Corrections.
Emerson is scheduled to appear March 18 in Brattleboro criminal court. Police also issued her tickets for defective equipment and a lane violation.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

1326: Crafts and rural development
This paper is summarised from 'Craft and Rural Development' by Dr Karen Yair, Research and Information Manager at the Crafts Council
Year of Publication2011
The contribution of creative businesses to rural development should be recognised more and barriers addressed. A rural 'town of craft' adapted from the Hay Festival could function successfully. Craft businesses can support the evolution of vibrant, distinctive and colourful rural high streets, encourage innovation by rural businesses and help local business networks and supply chains to grow. Barriers to growth include inadequate education and transport infrastructures, poor political support, restrictions on land use, a paucity of rural business investors, and the dispersal of high level skills across a wide geographical area. Employment in creative jobs remains concentrated in the most accessible rural areas.

I am sitting here in a state of shock, disbelief, and profound sadness after learning of the death of Trey Psencik. What a loss to his wife, his children, his family, his school family and Goliad. He was a great hard working guy who gave so much to this community. The lesson here is to live every day as if it was your last...because it may be!

A.I.'s Watson - WDEL Male HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Friday, January 11, 2013 - 1:34am
VIDEO: Interview with Braxton Watson
A.I. duPont forward Braxton Watson is this week's WDEL Male High School Athlete of the Week.
Braxton hit three 3-pointers in his team's overtime victory over Flight A rival William Penn to remain unbeaten Tuesday.
Watson says despite the 9-0 record, his team is continuing to get better.
"At the beginning of the season we were still trying to gel with each other and find a flow. I think right now our chemistry is real high, we all enjoy playing together and have a good flow of the game."
The Tigers are succeeding with a high-octane style of basketball, and Braxton seems himself as an energy leader on the team.
"Expect to see a player who is going 100 percent every play, I don't take any plays off. Whether it's offense or defense, I'm going to try hard to lock up the player I'm defending or try to go after the person who is guarding me. If I'm having an off offensive game I'm going to try my best to get rebounds, blocks, or steals.
Braxton's father starred on some of Wilmington High School's top teams, and Braxton says he uses his advice to make him a better player.
"When you have a father, or someone in your household, who knows the game and loves the game as much as you do, it is very important. He can show you things, tell you things, about the game, and kind of get your head in the game compared to those who don't."
Braxton says he'd like to continue playing basketball in college, but says he's motivated to move into education after school.
"My Mom was a teacher, my Dad is a teacher, all my brothers are teachers, so I guess it just runs in my blood. I like helping people out and I like education."

RJ Thiele: Lumberland youth recognized
November 14, 2012 —
While some young people make the headlines for less than admirable reasons, Eldred Central School senior RJ Thiele has drawn attention for his commitment to his passions and recent achievements in those areas.
This summer, RJ, who is a member of the Lumberland Fire Department, successfully completed the Sullivan County Fire Training Center Firefighter One course, despite working 50 to 60 hours a week for his family's business, Thiele Landscaping.
"Somehow he was able to work all day for our business, and regardless of what we did that day (carrying retainer wall block, lot clearing, or our lawn maintenance route) he still made it to every class," said RJ's father, Ron. "Firefighter I is very physically demanding, especially in the summer in a large steel building, with all the heavy fire gear on."
To complete the grueling course, RJ devoted Saturdays and Tuesday evenings to learn what it takes to save lives while maintaining his own safety.
In addition to the 91-hour class and his job, RJ managed to fit in summer practices and weight lifting for the football team, thereby setting an example for the younger players. Now in his 11th year of play, RJ serves as co-captain of the Eldred football team, while maintaining a high grade-point average.
The scholar-athlete also recently learned he has been chosen for the Section 9 All-Star Team for both offense and defense.
RJ plans to attend college to become an attorney, possibly through the U.S. Navy. "My favorite subjects are history and psychology, due to an interest in past events, as well as in the human mind and what people are thinking," he said.
The son of Ron and Chris Thiele, RJ takes his inspiration from his father, who has served the town for many years as a volunteer firefighter and now holds a seat on the Lumberland Town Board. RJ's brother, Dillon, is also a firefighter with the Lumberland Fire Department.

January Chevrolet Volt Sales Plunge

(Source: jalopnik.com)
GM only sold 603 Volts in January
General Motors' Chevrolet Volt has taken a serious beating over the past year or so after its battery fire issues were brought to light, and that beating showed as January Volt sales plummeted.
For the month of January 2012, GM sold a total of 603 Volts, which was significantly lower than December 2011's total of 1,529 Volts. GM sold a total of 7,700 Volts in 2011.
Chevrolet's plug-in hybrid electric Volt had a very up-and-down (but mostly down) 2011. In May, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted a side-impact test on a Volt in its Wisconsin testing facility. Three weeks later, the Volt caught fire while parked in the testing garage,
leading to an investigation of the safety of lithium batteries
. Lithium batteries can catch fire if the internal cells or the battery case are pierced by steel or another ferrous metal.
In November, the NHTSA conducted three more side-impact crash tests with three additional Volts.
Two of them sparked or caught fire
while the third remained normal. From there, GM did everything it could to make customers happy, from buying Volts back to offering loaner vehicles to scared Volt drivers.
In early January,
GM recalled all 8,000 Volts
on the road as well as the 4,400 for sale in showrooms. The automaker added steel to the plate that protects the EV's 400-pound battery. The NHTSA said this fix did the trick, but
GM CEO Dan Akerson still had to testify
before Congress in regards to the fires.
The entire situation seems to have put the Volt in a bad light for some, possibly affecting the January 2012 sales numbers. In fact, former GM Vice Chairman for Special Advisor Design and Global Product Development Bob Lutz said earlier this week that
the media ruined the Volt's reputation
with negative coverage. More specifically, Lutz targeted "right-wing media."
"But the Oscar for totally irresponsible journalism has to go to The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, with, as its key guest, Lou Dobbs," said Lutz. "Amid much jocular yukking, the Volt was depicted as a typical federal failure. In attempting to explain why Chevy has sold fewer than 8,000 Volts, Dobbs states, flatly, 'It doesn't work.' He elaborates, 'It doesn't go fast and go far on electricity. What happens is it catches fire.'"

Two Clovis teens have been charged in connection with robberies that took place about the same time and place a homicide occurred last week.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said the teens have not been charged in connection with the killing.
"Additional information is being collected, (investigators) are completing interviews and waiting for some forensic evidence," Chandler said, as officials investigate whether the events are related.
Forensic test results could take up to 30 days, Chandler said.
Emmett Salisbury, 36, was killed Jan. 7 in a small store at 701 E. Grand Ave. by a single gunshot wound to the chest, officials said. Chandler said medical investigators have placed Salisbury's time of death between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Larry McClendon, 19, and Anthony Wallace, 18, were charged with four counts each of robbery and attempt to commit a violent felony, Lt. Patrick Whitney of the Clovis Police Department said Tuesday.
They are being held at the Curry County Adult Detention Center on $250,000 bonds.
A third man is being sought in connection with the robberies, Whitney said.
"We're still investigating who pulled the trigger. We're not saying that any of these guys committed the homicide, that is under investigation, but they are people of interest," he said.
Information received by investigators indicates Wallace and McClendon knew Salisbury, according to Chandler.
McClendon and Wallace are accused of robbing two men at gunpoint in a car outside Salibury's store about 8 p.m. the night of the shooting, according to an arrest affidavit filed Tuesday morning in Curry County Magistrate Court. About 30 minutes later, the teens attempted to rob two others who stopped by the store, the arrest affidavit alleges.
A man who had been installing surveillance equipment at Salisbury's store said when he returned to the car outside the store there were two men he later identified as McClendon and Wallace in the back seat holding his friend at gunpoint. They demanded his money. He gave them $42 and they got out of the car, records show.
Approximately 30 minutes later, another acquaintance of Salisbury told police he and his mother took food to Salisbury at the store. He left his mother waiting in the car while he took the food inside, the affidavit said.
His mother told police two men came up to the window and pointed a gun at her head, banging on the window. When her son returned and got in the car, the men again approached the car with a gun and demanded they open the window but they were able to get away, records show.
Investigators collected a handgun, fingerprints, a computer and cell phone from the store in addition to a disposable cup, a soda can, a soda bottle, a pack of cigarettes and several other items, according to two search warrants filed Thursday in the 9th Judicial District Court.

Bloody Halloween
Old Pas assault and road-rage incidents result in injuries to local man
By André Coleman , Kevin Uhrich 11/06/2013
In what police are calling an apparent case of road rage sparked by an assault committed in a city parking lot in Old Pasadena, a bruised and bloodied man was taken to Huntington Hospital on Halloween after being dragged a short distance by a car he was chasing on foot.
The dramatic noontime scene played out at around noon on South De Lacey Avenue — directly across the street from the offices of the Pasadena Weekly.
By this time, the busy shopping district was filling up with lunchtime diners, as well as adults and children dressed in costumes. At least seven Pasadena police officers responded to the incident, as traffic came to a crawl and pedestrians stood and gawked at the blood running down the face of an emotional 52-year-old Ed Rodriguez.
The incident began after Rodriguez and Keaton Brownlow, 23, exchanged words in the four-story parking structure. Later, as the two men were preparing to leave, Brownlow allegedly put his car in park and walked over to Rodriguez, who was sitting in his own vehicle, and punched him in the face.
Brownlow allegedly then left the structure and backed into the alley between the parking lot and Twins Palm Restaurant, where Rodriguez later spotted Brownlow and attempted to confront him. According to Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra, Rodriguez raced toward the car and reached inside as Brownlow began driving backwards, knocking Rodriguez off his feet and dragging him a short distance.
"We are still investigating the matter," Ibarra said. "Detectives will contact the victims slash suspects to see if they wish to press charges. If they do, we will send it over to the City Prosecutor's Office and see what they have to say about it."
As blood gushed from a nasty-looking wound to his left temple and eye area, Rodriguez stood behind his Toyota Camry, which was parked on De Lacey Avenue, blocking traffic and the exit to the alley where Brownlow had parked his Mitsubishi Galant. Rodriguez told a gathering crowd of pedestrians that Brownlow had attacked him. He refused to answer questions by a reporter for the paper.
By now, Brownlow was also standing outside of his vehicle, which was about 20 yards from De Lacey, and being interviewed by a police officer. Paramedics soon arrived, placing Rodriguez on a gurney and driving him to the hospital, about a mile away.
Rodriguez was treated at Huntington and released, Ibarra said.

Cramer Quick Take: Bank of America Can Hit $18
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Is Bank of America (BAC) finally worth owning?Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Monday he thinks the beleaguered bank can be owned as an investment but not as a trade.
Cramer said that finally being able to put its troubles behind it will be huge for Bank of America because its troubled merger with Countrywide almost killed the entire company. Add in a little revenue growth, he said, and all of the banks, not just Bank of America, can once again be valued like other stocks based on earnings.
Cramer said that banks like Wells Fargo (WFC) , a stock he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, should never have fallen to $5 and $6 a share, which is why that stock has been able to run so far, so fast. Cramer said he's also been buying KeyCorp (KEY) .

Leadership of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change prepare to announce the Cancun Agreements at the COP16 CMP6 Climate Change Conference in Cancún, Mexico.
UN Climate Talks Photo
What Happened (and Why): An Assessment of the Cancun Agreements
Media Feature, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
December 13, 2010
Author: Robert N. Stavins, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government; Member of the Board; Director, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Harvard Project on Climate Agreements
The international climate negotiations in Cancun, Mexico, have concluded, and despite the gloom-and-doom predictions that dominated the weeks and months leading up to Cancun, the Sixteenth Conference of the Parties (COP-16) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) must be judged a success. It represents a set of modest steps forward. Nothing more should be expected from this process.
As I said in my November 19th essay Defining Success for Climate Negotiations in Cancun the key challenge was to continue the process of constructing a sound foundation for meaningful, long-term global action (not necessarily some notion of immediate, highly-visible triumph). This was accomplished in Cancun.
The Cancun Agreements - as the two key documents ("Outcome of the AWG-LCA" and "Outcome of the AWG-KP") are called do just what was needed, namely build on the structure of the Copenhagen Accord with a balanced package that takes meaningful steps toward implementing the key elements of the Accord. The delegates in Cancun succeeded in writing and adopting an agreement that assembles pledges of greenhouse gas (GHG) cuts by all of the world's major economies, launches a fund to help the most vulnerable countries, and avoids some political landmines that could have blown up the talks, namely decisions on the (highly uncertain) future of the Kyoto Protocol.
I begin by assessing the key elements of the Cancun Agreements. Then I examine whether the incremental steps forward represented by the Agreements should really be characterized as a success. And finally I ask why the negotiations in Cancun led to the outcome they did.

Shopping for maternity wear can be a daunting task. Many women I know are proud of the fact that they can still fit into their old clothing. Perhaps it's a form of denial, wanting this bodies to look the same as they did pre-pregnancy. Or maybe the idea of springing for entire new wardrobe for nine months doesn't quite fit their budget.
But there comes a time in every pregnancy when those stretched out T-shirts and sweats no longer work. Maybe it's a special occasion or perhaps you're literally too big for your britches. Not to worry, the days of boring maternity wear are a thing of the past. In fact pregnant can be quite chic.
Try this Serafina Blossom printed maternity dress. It's knotted front and bold print make it very versatile. Keep it feminine pretty for a lunch date or while on the clock at the office. Or add a little edge with a leather jacket and a large structured bag for a day out with the girls.
Since pregnancy isn't the time in our lives we think of buying investment pieces, we love the idea of double-duty clothing. Molly Ades Maternity/Nursing Navy Cape serves as a stylish cape while you're pregnant and can be used as a portable nursing cover once the baby is born. Comfortable never looked so good (and practical!)
Add a little whimsy with this playful Maternal America Mini Stripe Dress. It ties right under the bust cinching you at your smallest point but grabs your attention with it's bring hue. Great for someone who dares to be different even at nine months.
For the pregnant woman on the go, Hatch's Cowl Top will soon become a staple in your wardrobe. In soft rosewater, this feminine shirt is just what the doctor ordered (as well as Lamaze, vitamins, and an entire room of newborn diapers). A cut-in-one short sleeve and dreamy folds of crepe allow it to hold it's shape throughout your entire pregnancy. Layer it with nice pants or pencil skirt and a structured blazer for an office appropriate outfit or add jeans for a weekend friendly look.
Mix it up with this Maternal America Cobalt Tie Dress. Sophisticated and smart, this dress is sure to be a head turner. The V-neck and mini front tie draw people's eyes up to your face all while emphasizing your waist. Dress it up with dangling earrings for a date night. Or keep it casual with a soft cardigan and tote bag for a long lunch catching up with friends.1

At the office, he's known as "Mr. Fleig." "My name is Jeff Fleig, I'm Associate Principal at Central High School"
In his 13 years as an area educator, Mr. Fleig has walked countless miles up and down the halls of the schools he worked at, "You just go, you just go." But that's nothing compared to the miles he's racked up outside of his day job. "I was a cross country and track runner in high school, ran track and cross country in college at La Crosse." But a few years back when Jeff got bored with simply running, he threw biking and swimming into the mix and a triathlete he became. "I work out twice a day. Usually the alarm goes off at 4 am and then off to the pool or out for a run. And then it's off to work for a busy, exciting day. I look forward to getting home at night and getting out for a 30 to 60 workout. And it's not uncommon for me to do 4, 5, 6 hours on Saturday and Sundays. The weekends are where I get some work in."
For those of you not familiar with triathlons, there are several different levels. Short distances, which are still very tough for most. "I use those more for workouts and to test my fitness level a bit." Then there's an intermediate course and the mother of them all - the Ironman. It's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run."
Jeff's done them all and won many, but it didn't start out that way. "I wasn't very good. I put in a good 3-4 years before I really started having some success and start winning some races. Triathlon is kind of an interesting sport. It's kind of a journey. There's ups, there's downs. The cool thing about this is I have no one to blame but myself. Never really enjoyed team sports because I did not like having to rely on someone else for whether or not I won or lost. The exciting thing is never being satisfied, you gotta keep working hard."
Whether school or sport, working hard is all mr. Fleig knows how to do. Seems that's the sign of an Ironman indeed.

On my new Kindle, I'm ready a pithy Shakespeare biography by Bill Bryson. Bryson is one of my favorite authors, writing one of my favorite books of all time – A Short History of Nearly Everything.
Notwithstanding any of this, there are times when you're reading about a subject and something clicks to help you understand it. Here is an excerpt from Shakespeare that helped me understand the fellow's significance, speaking about the prosperity of the Latin language in Shakespeare's day:
Thanks in no small measure to the work Shakespeare and his fellows, English was at last rising to preeminence in the county of its creation. 'It is telling,' observes Stanley Wells, ' that Shakespeare's birth is recorded in Latin but that he dies in English, as 'William Shakespeare, gentleman.'
Just thought I'd share. Get a Kindle.

August 14, 2013 —
Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to an abundance of activities during the three days of Wally Lake Fest, an annual event that celebrates Lake Wallenpaupack and the surrounding lake region from August 23 to 25. There will be something for everyone at every skill level, from bike riding to free sailboat rides, from kicking back and enjoying a boat parade or a sailboat race to shopping or browsing in an open-air market, to listening to live music on the lake (the bands will perform on a floating stage).
How-to and DIY activities include canoe, stand-up paddleboard and kayak demonstrations as well as fly-casting demonstrations and instruction.
Other opportunities include a "Tour de Towpath" bike ride and a 41-mile motorcycle ride around the lake.
Free shuttle-bus service runs every five to 10 minutes on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (with a Hawley Silk Mill stop available between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.) and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For a complete schedule, brochures are available at the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center and area businesses, or visit www.wallylakefest.com [2] and www.facebook.com/wallylakefest [3].
Wally Lake Fest is hosted by the Downtown Hawley Partnership and presented by Lighthouse Harbor Marina.

text: I posted here yesterday about pumping to relactate, but has anyone had success with just using an SNS? I hate pumping and what I really miss about bf is my dd being close to me latched on, so I was thinking about just solely doing SNS. Can anyone give me advice (any amount will help) about using one?
