Pharm Report – R-Phils Kids Club Game 1
Just like last year, the Reading Phillies are offering their Kids Club program for kids 12 and under, and amazingly, there is no charge to join. One of the perks of membership is a free ticket for kids to each of seven designated games during the season. How could we refuse such an offer? This past Sunday was the first Kids Club game of the year.
In addition to the free ticket, members of the Kids Club get to take part in a special pre-game activity for club members only. This game's activity was an on-field photo session with almost all the R-Phils players, with the exception of that day's starting pitcher and catcher.
Of course, the big draws, top prospect Domonic Brown and newest propects Phillippe Aumont and Tyson Gillies, were at opposite ends of the warning track, with everyone else arranged alphabetically in between. So we needed to make a choice – go to Brown first, or Gillies and Aumont?
We chose Domonic Brown, mostly because I foresee him being promoted from double-A Reading before either Gillies or Aumont. Here are the kids with Domonic:
Domonic generates a lot of speed with those incredibly skinny calves!
We then worked our way around the warning track, stopping for photos with various players, as well as the ever-popular Crazy Hot Dog Vendor. Unfortunately, just before we got to Gillies and Aumont, the photo session ended, as the players had to go prepare for the game. I did manage to snap a quick pic of the two as they headed back to the clubhouse. Gillies, who is legally deaf, wears hearing aids in both ears, and one can be seen here:
After wandering around, getting something to eat, and dealing with minor meltdowns at the gift shop, it was time for the game to start. On the mound for the R-Phils was Yohan Flande:
Flande was sharp through six shutout innings, giving up only one hit and two walks. Not a particularly hard thrower, he kept the Portland Sea Dogs batters off balance all afternoon. Here, Portland first baseman Lars Anderson has not hit the ball, he's so far in front of it that the ball hasn't even crossed the plate yet, and he's already swung through it:
Starting for the Sea Dogs, a Red Sox affiliate, was Stephen Fife:
In the bottom of the first, he walked the speedy Brown, and then hit Tagg Bozied with a pitch, but managed to escape unscathed.
Domonic Brown makes it back to first in time on a pickoff attempt:
Bozied apparently shook off being hit on the hand/wrist (I couldn't really tell exactly where – Bozied bats right-handed, so his back was to us, as we were seated on the third-base side) as he ripped a two-run double in the third to put Reading on the board.
After six innings, Reading was up 2-0 in this quick moving pitching duel. Then, the relievers came in. B.J. Rosenberg gave up four runs in the top of the seventh, on a solo home run by Lars Anderson, and a three-run homer by Jason Place. The Sea Dogs now led 4-2.
Rosenberg was later placed on the DL with a strained muscle, so maybe that explains the rough outing.
In the bottom of the seventh, Portland reliever Robert Coello returned the favor, allowing a three-run dinger to Tagg Bozied, the hero of the game, to put the R-Phils up 5-4. Bozied had knocked in all five of the R-Phils runs so far. Here he is about to be congratulated by Reading manager Steve Roadcap after his home run:
In the minors, the manager often doubles as the third base coach.
In other game action, Reading shortstop Freddy Galvis fields a ground ball and fires to first for the out:
Tyson Gillies attempts a bunt, but it ended up rolling foul:
Reading tacked on another run in the eighth, and held on to win 6-4. A great day at the ballpark, with the temperature comfortably in the low 70's, and an R-Phils victory! Now we have to wait until May for the next Kids Club game.

Isn't minor league baseball great!? I love that you can get an autograph and a picture with the players and not have to drop $20 just to do so. Cool stuff.
What a fun thing to do with the kids (they're adorable, btw). And your pics are as professional as always. One of these days I have to get myself to a minor league game or two.
Minor League ball is outstanding. I drive anywhere for a minor league game. Last year in Penn'vania I went to Lancaster, Harrisburgh and York. This year, READING, Scranton and Williamsport! Woo-Hooo!
Have a great season!

Cool! One of my fondest memories was meeting the single A ballplayers in Springfield, IL when they had a Cardinals farm team there years ago. Kids never forget that sort of thing.
Yout kids are adorable! I love going to minor league games. Every year from the Dodger Booster Club, we attend a game and afterwards we arrange for pizza and drinks to be delivered and feed the entire Single-A team at San Bernardino. Prior to that we purchase the All-you can eat tickets for us so we dont eat just hang out there talking with the players.
I am keeping an eye on Domonic if he gets called up so that I can pick him in my baseball fantasy team.
how awesome will it be for you guys to watch these players grow and become philies. i love tabbing some of these kids as "mine" and watching their progression
Your kids are really growing up! Minor League ball is something I really miss having up here. Enjoy all you can!!
Minor league games can be fun, and sometimes you get to meet a future star, I remember having a long conversation with a catcher back in '93 at Scranton… who'd have thought he'd turn out to be one of my all time favorite Phillies, non other than Lieby…
Phillies Outside
I've heard good stuff about Dominic Brown (mainly from you!) so it's so nice your boys got a picture! Good decision! And great recap of the game… I love minor league ball.

My LO will be 6 months in about 10 days ! I'm planning on starting BLS at about 6 months. I've been reading quite a bit about it and am trying not to get too nervous. But, one thing that can't decide is whether to do veggies before moving on to "sweets" like fruits.
What did you all do? Seems to me that sweet potatoes (what I was planning on giving her first since they are my fav (healthy) food) are just as sweet as some fruits.

Osseo police have arrested a woman in the death of her boyfriend's 22-month-old daughter.
Officers on Thursday arrested the 22-year-old woman in Jackson County on suspicion of first-degree reckless homicide.
According to police, the woman found Alexis Behlke not breathing early on June 22. The girl was taken to a hospital in Osseo where she was pronounced dead.
The La Crosse Tribune reports the former Osseo woman was the girl's caregiver. She was arrested at her new home in Garfield.
Osseo Police Chief Timothy Wilson expects the woman will appear in court Monday. It's not clear when the Trempealeau County District Attorney's office will make a charging decision.

Hi all. I wrote an earlier post about trying to wean my 3 year old for the 3rd time. Fingers crossed, it's not going too badly. I am really hoping it will take this time because I'm having physical problems associated with lactation and I've been BFing 18 months longer than I wanted to! So finally, I put myself first, which doesn't feel great both emotionally and physically but as my LO is not reacting too badly, I'm not beating myself up too much.
But here's my question. I don't have a pump and even though I don't think I make a lot of milk (we usually only BF 1-2 times a day and not for a long time), I am feeling very tight in my chest, naturally.
Anyone know how long it takes for milk to dry up?
Thanks for any info you can give...

Town of Delaware officials on December 19 unanimously adopted a resolution allowing them to move forward with a plan to purchase land for the relocation of the highway department. The estimated cost is $100,000.
The next move is for town officials to plot out the proposed new location, which is on State Route 17B in Hortonville, just past the John H. Eschenberg Inc., building.
The highway department is currently housed at the town barn on Route 17B, in a flood plain. Joe Brook flows out of the Beechwoods to meet Callicoon Creek, which is adjacent to the barn.
Highway superintendent Bill Eschenberg was adamant that a move needs to be made, as the repeated flooding has taken a toll on the property and his patience. He said that on several occasions he's watched as pipes and other equipment flowed down Callicoon Creek during flooding.
"I think it's time to do something. For 13 years I've crawled through water. It's done; it's over, before someone gets killed. You're not going to beat Mother Nature," Eschenberg said.
Supervisor Ed Sykes agreed, saying, "It is a terrible location." He also said the garage is in need of repair. "It's in bad shape."
Eschenberg said that, in addition to the flooding problems, the department has outgrown the barn.
The proposed new location is between three and five acres—more than double the size of the current site. Sykes said the council will seek grants for the project, but it has to own the property in order to be eligible. He said there is enough surplus in the budget for the purchase.
Townsperson Kay Rosenberger, who lives adjacent to the property on which the department wants to move, voiced her concerns over the proposed relocation. "We want to make sure our property value is maintained."
Rosenberger also said she doesn't want to have to worry about containment issues, or the possibility of the land being used for a transfer station. "We don't want to be smelling garbage when we're sitting in our backyard," she told the board.
Councilman John Gain said, "I would not be in favor of a transfer station there." His colleagues agreed. Gain added that, in order to ease any concerns among townspeople, the project proposal could also be brought before the town planning board.
Sykes added that they plan to do landscaping around the proposed new location to make it "more palatable" for neighbors. Sykes said that the project has been years in the making and had received support from prior administrations.
It was unclear what would happen to the barn location if a move were made.
In other business, the board adopted a resolution authorizing a reassessment for the 2015 assessment roll. Sykes said the town had to adopt the resolution before the end of this year in order to have the reassessment.
The resolution states, "The Town of Delaware is convinced that a reassessment is necessary to achieve a stated level of assessment at 100%."
The resolution also authorizes the town assessor to develop and submit a plan for cyclical reassessment to ensure the next full reappraisal will occur no more than four years after 2015.
The assessor may, with the support of the board, sustain the level of assessment in interim years at 100% through market adjustment factor analysis, reappraisal, or a combination of methods, according to the resolution.
Computer-assisted mass appraisal systems, and technical advice and guidance, are available by cooperative agreement with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance's Office of Real Property Tax Services.
The reorganizational meeting is scheduled for January 10, 2013, at 7 p.m.

Snow is falling pretty steadily in a very small part of our community Tuesday. But don't worry, it won't affect your morning commute.
Snow machines started pumping out the first batch of snow of the season at Mt. La Crosse at around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
It's a sort of "test run" for the machines. Mt. La Crosse officials don't expect the snow made Tuesday to stick around for too long.
"The majority of this is just to make sure we have all the bugs out of the system to make sure everything runs okay," Mt. La Crosse's Willy Roesley said.
Mt. La Crosse hopes to open the slopes by the first weekend in December, weather permitting.

Aliska Maria Kopplin "Dutch" Swenson was born August 21, 1918, in Schertz, Texas, to Hugo Wilhelm and Anna Katherine Wieding Kopplin. She was baptized November 10, 1918, in Christ the Redeemer Evangelical Church in Zuehls, Texas. She confirmed her faith on April 17, 1933, in St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Ray Point, Texas.
Aliska married Evar Carl Swenson on August 20, 1944, at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Ray Point, Texas. They traveled and lived in many different places throughout Texas and Louisiana with Shorty's job in drilling production. Upon Shorty's retirement as Assistant Drilling Superintendent they moved to Three Rivers in 1972. Aliska had enjoyed being a waitress as a young woman at Ray's Café, in Oakville, Texas, where she served many meals to busloads of enlisted men on their way to serve our country in World War II and at Ray's Café in Three Rivers. After retirement, Aliska continued to waitress, working for Live Oak Livestock Auction, McNeill's Bar-B-Q, and the Staghorn Restaurant where she met and made a host of friends, including local lawmen and the Wal-Mart truck drivers whom she dearly loved. She continued to attend church at Our Savior Lutheran and enjoyed being among people. She was a proud member of the Oakville Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. She had been a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for 69 years and was a past Matron.
Aliska was preceded in death by her husband, Evar Carl Swenson, on August 26, 1984; by her father, Hugo Kopplin on August 3, 1975; and by her mother, Anna Wieding Kopplin on June 8, 1989. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Alfred Hugo Kopplin in August 1998; and brother, Hilbert Henry Kopplin in April 2002. She also was preceded in death by her niece, Brenda Nesloney Moczygemba, and her nephews, Bruce Nesloney and Rocky Kopplin.
Aliska is survived by her sister, Anna Mae Kopplin Nesloney of Pawnee; her sister-in-law, Barbara Wolff Kopplin of Ray Point; and her nieces and nephews, Lou (Frank) Schulenburg, Dora (David) Wolfe, Donna (Glen) Mills, Butch (Patricia) Kopplin, Cheryl (Albert) Liska, Bert (Gaye) Nesloney, Dellene (Craig) Blackmore, Audrey Kopplin, Nancy (Richard) Lee, Buddy Kopplin, Beverly (Fred III) Schauer, Bunky (Kathy) Kopplin, Randy (Tammy) Kopplin, Warren (Haley) Kopplin, Crystal (Jason) Desselle and Tracy (Dustin) Favor. She is also survived by 30 grand-nieces and nephews and 24 great-grandnieces and nephews. Also surviving "Dutch" are many close friends including her faithful friend, Dick Poore. The family would like to express their most sincere thanks to the staff of The Three Rivers Nursing Home for their love and care for Aliska, and also especially her personal sitter, Lillie Aldaba.
Visitation was held on Monday, March 11, 2013, at Galloway & Sons Funeral Home in Three Rivers, Texas, beginning at 6pm-8pm. A prayer service for Aliska was held that same evening at 7pm.
Funeral service was held at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Three Rivers, Texas, at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12, 2013, with interment following at the Three Rivers Cemetery.
Serving as pallbearers were Scott Trlica, Brandon Mills, Trey Nesloney, James Liska, Clint Wolfe, and Brady Lee.

Big Data Analytics' Selections functionality is based on many years of experience analyzing data and learning how users search and select data.
Big Data Analytics identifies and extracts registers graphically -individually or in groups-, applies complex conditions, combines data in tables that are not directly linked, uses "%", "*", "like", "include", "if", "and", "or", brackets and others, with the aim of obtaining values or registers. Also, Big Data Analytics selects randomly, 1 of n, classifies, obtains discreet values, generates groups, drags&drops, inverts, excludes, combines segments, filters, domains, saves, saves as, exports selections, etc.
What our customers are already doing:
- Sample selection: How can you get a sample with the 10 oldest unemployed men in London? You can do this using the "Selections" tool which enables you to get the segment that meets the conditions you have specified.
- Using the reverse functionality: How can you get the records of the non women directors? You can do this using the "Selections" tool which enables you to get the segment that meets the conditions you have specified.
- Selection with resolution change: How many households have female directors with incomes between 60.000$ and 70.000$? You can find that out by using the "Selections" tool, combining segments and building a complex query. Every time you run the Selections tool it will gather all the registers that meet the established conditions.
- Parametric selection query: How can we get a segment classified by gender with the number of clients younger than 25 years old whose occupation is "Shop Worker"? To solve this case we use a parameterized gender selection that creates a different segment based on the parameter input.

text: Staying warm is as key to a good ski day as snow. (Crushing your buds on the slopes and cold après beverages also add up to a solid day.) Cold hands afflict a lot of female skiers, who tend to have poorer circulation in their extremities than guys. Here's the answer: the new Heat Touch MsISLe (woman) and Pyro (men). The glove keeps your hands toasty for up to six hours, with three heat settings. It's not the least expensive heated glove we saw at the show ($375), but it is the warmest.

I EBF my almost-7-month old.
After any period of inactivity, my joints feel like I have pulled muscles. Fingers, elbows, shoulders - and omg, my feet! When I stand up, it feels like my arches are about to drop. After I get moving, I don't feel so bad any more.
Is this a relaxin issue? I feel like I'm 90 years old.

Oklahoma residents were not the only victims left homeless after tornadoes swept through the town of Moore last month. Many dogs were also left without homes.
Ruff Life, an animal rescue organization in La Crosse, is helping these four legged survivors find new homes in the La Crosse area.
Last month, volunteers picked up the animals from Oklahoma's already-packed shelters to help relocate them.
And thanks to FMB Trailer Sales, the group was able to take an RV down this past weekend to save more pups. "We brought 24, which also included a pregnant dog, one was thrown on the side of the road with 4 day old babies, and that was seven puppies," said Janelle Parcher from Ruff Life.
Parcher said the dogs have foster homes right now. They will all get check ups from the vet soon and will be available for adoption by next week at the earliest.
"It feels good to know they're all safe now," Parcher said.
Ruff Life plans to put pictures of the dogs that will be available for adoption on its Facebook page as early as next week. If you're interested in adopting a dog that was rescued, Parchers said you should send a Facebook message to them or email email@example.com. You can also download an adoption application on Ruff Life's website and submit it by email.
There will be a meet-and-greet with the dogs that are up for adoption on Saturday, July 13 from 12-4 p.m. at Petco, 1231 Crossing Meadows Dr. in Onalaska.
Ruff Life Rescue plans on going back to Oklahoma to pick up more dogs in the future.

Curious about fall safety for kids? Taking some simple precautions at home and on the go can help reduce your child's risk of falling.
Every parent knows how hard it is to protect a child from injuries related to falling. When a baby first learns to walk, preventing falls requires constant supervision. Later, a toddler might tumble during a covert ascent to the cookie jar and an older child might slip while rocketing up a flight of hardwood stairs in socks. Still, there's plenty you can do to promote fall safety for kids.
At home, fall safety for kids hinges on basic precautions. Follow these simple tips:
Despite your best attempts to promote child safety at home, falls are still possible. To reduce the risk of injury, cover sharp furniture and fireplace corners with corner or edge bumpers.
When you're out and about, continue to keep fall safety for kids in mind:
Keeping your child safe from falls takes more than luck. Follow these precautions, and you'll go a long way toward preventing injuries.

In the application-test for the translation college (which I am to submit within a week) they gave us particularly insidious sentences to see if we could figure them out. In most of them the "catch" was a no-brainer, but a few sentences did manage to get the better of me. Here they are:
1. It may be used in the hardness testing of plastics with pratically no change. (I'm not sure I see the catch here)
2. He took a car from the pool. ("pool" as in "storage", right?)
3. She crossed the green. (what does it mean? is it an idiom? should I just translate it as it sounds?)
4. The Federal Bank surprised Wall Street big time. (where's the catch here?)
5. Empty vessels make the most sound. (I know it's an idiom, what does it mean? I didn't manage to google an answer for that).
Would appreciate any help.

"green" here refers to a green "space" a park or other public area of greenery. It's a rather English sort of English, I suspect, often used in conjunction with the word "village".
"The Federal Bank surprised Wall Street big time"
My guess would be that the catch is the idiomatic nature of the phrase - "big time" simply meaning "a great deal" or "very much", with no literal connexion to time of any size.
"Empty vessels make the most sound." (I know it's an idiom, what does it mean?
People with nothing to say are the ones talking the loudest. Shakespeare's line "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" expresses a similar idea. . If you bang on an empty vessel, it will make a lot of noise precisely because it's empty. Likwise, a person bereft of meaningful contributions to a discussion will balther on endlessly, hoping to obscure the absence of quality by the excess of quantity._________________________

The test may come in trying to figure out what to do with them during the translation. But here;s my take:
1. "It may be used" is passive voice, and I would recast as follows: ONe may use the product in . . ..
2. Look up steno pool. It is an idiom for a reserve group. A term you might use in translating is fleet instead of pool. A carpool is a different thing altogether: a group of people who commute together in a shared vehicle.
3. A green is a common or a park. See Boston Common.
4. I don't see a catch.
5. The louder someone is (partcularly in a meeting), the less there is in the person's brain._________________________

1. One might be confused as to whether the prepositional phrase "with..." modifies the "plastics", "testing of plastics," or "it."
2. That's probably close enough, but more, I think, like "reserve."
The main thing is not to use the same words as a swimming pool (unless it has a similiar connotation in the target language).
3. Well, one might make a cross at the sign of some green object - but it should be "transit the golf course" or "walked across the green field."
4. The actions of the Chairman of the Federal Bank surprised investors, etc., many of whom have jobs on Wall Street. (Something like that.)
5. I've never heard this, but I think it might mean something like:
The person who is devoid of ideas or any depth of personality chatters the most.

>2. He took a car from the pool.
this indicates that there is a quantity of autos available to the organization, from which individual members thereof can avail themselves for business of said organization -- like a motor pool in the military.

That's as I suspected, tsuwm. Thanks (to everyone who replied)
As for:
1) I'm not quite sure what do you mean, TheFallibleFiend, maybe I just like to believe (self-delude) I'm too smart to even see the catch here..
2) I was able to found a satisfying word for "pool" in the context. And yes, the direct translation of "pool" in Hebrew only means "swimming pool".
3) Ah, I did not even consider that! but it makes perfect sense. I actually intended to translate "green" as the colour. But I get it now, and there's a word that means "lawn, green, grassplot", which I'm glad to use instead.
4) Ah, no troubles here then. I guess I'm just a paranoid sometimes.
5) got it! thanks.
edit; wuuoo... you guys never let me down.

In one of those insidious sentences they try to throw us off with "inflammable"... how lame is that eh? there are a total of 25; all sorts of slang and idioms, and sentences that looks the same but means different things... and even words that are problematic to translate to Hebrew... but I think (er, hope) I picked on every one of those skullduggeries...
I just hope the other people were dumb enough to fall for them, so I'll have a clear path for the internship. It's really unnerving not knowing who you're up against...

1) I'm with fallible fiend: the prepositional phrase "with practically no change" could mistakenly be thought to modify "in the hardness testing of plastics." Also, "in the hardness testing of plastic" is an awkward construction, and might be confusing. It would be better cast "in testing the hardness of plastic."
"She crossed the green" means she entered the church on St. Patrick's day.

Are you serious? Given that the question was asked in an examination context, if your comment was in jest, would not indicating so be in order?_________________________

Fleeing Iraqis join large tide of displaced peopleap photo
Eritrean female asylum seekers sit along with their children on the sidewalk in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday. Since April 29, over 200 Eritrean asylum seekers including women and children living on the streets of Sanaa wait to be resettled to a third country. For the first time since the World War II era, the number of people forced from their homes worldwide has surged past 50 million, the United Nations refugee agency said Friday.
TAZA KHORMATO, Iraq In a battered car loaded with blankets and clothes, Hassan Abbas left with his mother from a dusty town in northern Iraq, fleeing this weeks violence and joining what the United Nations says is the largest worldwide population of displaced people since World War II.
The U.N. refugee agencys latest annual report, released Friday, found more than 50 million people worldwide were displaced at the end of last year, reflecting an ever-expanding web of international conflicts.
Last years increase in displaced people was the largest in at least two decades, driven mainly by the civil war in Syria, which has claimed an estimated 160,000 lives and forced 9 million people to flee their homes. Now Iraq is adding to that tide.
I am going to sell this phone so we have money, Abbas said at a checkpoint outside the town of Taza Khormato, near the city of Kirkuk, where he will move in with relatives, and where 20 people will share a single home.
He and his 50-year-old mother, Shukriya, decided to leave the town after fighters from the al-Qaida breakaway group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant shelled and burned down the neighboring village of Basheer.
My heart is sick. Its sick. From the fear, the shelling, the explosions, Shukriya said, sobbing. They say they killed children in Basheer. By God all we want is peace.
The jihadi group swept across northern Iraq last week, seizing the city of Mosul and carrying Syrias brutal civil war across the border. Their swift advance set the stage for a conflict that has already displaced hundreds of thousands and could widen.
Iraqis who have fled over the past week were not included in the U.N. High Commission for Refugees annual global trends report. The Kurdish regional government says at least 300,000 people have fled the latest violence.
The agency found that at the end of last year, 51.2 million people had been forced from their homes worldwide, including refugees, the internally displaced and asylum-seekers. That was the highest figure since the U.N. began collecting numbers in the early 1950s.
Its also 6 million more people than at the end of the previous year, reflecting a failure to resolve longstanding conflicts or prevent the eruption of new ones, the head of the U.N. refugee agency said in announcing the report.
The world has shown a limited capacity to prevent conflicts and to find a timely solution for them, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said.
Today, we not only have an absence of a global governance system, but we have sort of an unclear sense of power in the world, Guterres told reporters in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, where the report was released.
By the end of last year, 2.5 million Syrians had become refugees in neighboring countries and more than 6.5 million had been displaced within Syria, the U.N. refugee agency said.
Also contributing to the figures are conflicts and persecution in other countries, including the Central African Republic and South Sudan.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

Yes I think that is a good approach. Trust your instincts! Of course you want to do everything you can to keep your supply appropriate. I just put my two cents in because I hate to see moms depriving themselves unnecessarily in order to breastfeed. Life is tough enough! Peppermint ice cream is just the (tasty) tip of that particular iceburg, I see moms putting themselves on really harsh elimination diets for no good reason, and I find it frustrating sometimes!
You are right to look at diaper output, that and weight gain are the most accurate ways to make sure baby is getting enough-and if baby is getting enough, that means your supply is fine, assuming you are exclusively bfding. Baby behavior is a clue, of course, but sucking on fists or baby wanting to nurse more may simply mean-baby wants to nurse more, which is just fine. Babies nurse for comfort/the joy of it and nutrition & happily usually get both simultaneously. In this way, you & your milk are kind of like peppermint ice cream for your baby, (if someone invented super nutritious totally healthy peppermint ice cream complete with immune system protection etc.)
BTW, I don't know how old your baby is or how much baby is nursing. But if baby is wanting to nurse more, usually I would say-let baby nurse more! Baby nursing frequently is almost always the best and easiest way to maintain appropriate supply, and of course it also helps keep baby happy and content.

You have forgotten to add the Proms in the Park, also no weekend is complete without
S.L.A.G.S at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern on Sunday.
The Scissor Sisters are playing a free gig at the Tower of London, with loads of other acts http://www.btriverofmusic.com
Kylie, and Il Divo (for the posh gay) will be singing at the Proms in the Park.
It's going to be a big gay London summer, although as usual it will probably rain the entire
The 1000 boat Canaletto-esque procession along the Thames will probably be the most spectacular event of the whole summer (if not the decade). And it's free.

First, it was Friendster … what's that? You're right. It wasn't, but we'd be here all day if we talked about Classmates.com, ICQ, Yahoo Pager, MSN Messenger, etc.
To save time, let's pretend Friendster came first, with its ability to reconnect with old friends. Then MySpace came around, and added musicians. Then it was Facebook, which started as a college thing but branched out.
And you can't forget Twitter. Or LinkedIn. Or Tagged. Or MyYearbook. Or … you know what? Here's a blank space so you can write in the one I forgot _______________________.
New social network, same basic story. The new network comes to the gate. Backers of the current leader scoff, "How does your site improve networking?" Heck, the same question gets asked back to the ones that are established. The ones that can answer the question stay; the ones that can't get ignored, shut down or sold off, with somebody taking a huge loss.
A few weeks ago, we saw what happened when MySpace couldn't answer that very question. The site was purchased in 2006 by News Corp for $580 million when it was the big leader, but was offered for $100 million this April and finally purchased for $35 million by a group aligned with Justin Timberlake.
Time will tell if MySpace knocks on the gate again. Time will also tell who answers.
Facebook stands as the current leader, but Google is striking with its third attempt at social networking. After the fizzles of Google Buzz and Google Wave, the online giant has come with Google Plus. Or Google+. Or G+. It's still in the works.
The site lets you build friend networks through the creation of circles. There are some basic circles for friends, family and acquaintances, but you can create your own, and nobody ever knows what circle you added them to.
That makes the basic difference the starting point.
When you begin a post on Facebook, the starting point is that everybody sees it. It's then up to the user to make their page private, and hide posts from users who shouldn't see that information. Like a big "Reply All" button.
When you begin a post on Google+, the starting point is that nobody sees it. The user adds groups and/or individuals. Like a panel discussion.
There are still plenty of advantages for Facebook. It has a larger user base that continues to grow. It has the bigger infrastructure for school and work networks. It has event creation and accounts for business, while Google+ does not.
I can't explain everything about each network, and suggest you research them on your own (one of them has a search engine they'd love for you to try). I don't know who will win, or even the definition of winning. I just think it's going to be really interesting.
An irony I find is that Google+ employs circles, because a network goes in a circle. It starts with crashing another network's gates to find an audience, and then it comes full circle when it becomes the gatekeeper itself.

The Deal: Sinopec Strikes $3.1B Deal With Apache in Egypt
Beijing-based China Petrochemical, known as Sinopec, will be entitled to a one-third share of Apache's daily Egyptian output of about 100,000 barrels of oil and 354 million cubic feet of natural gas. Apache will retain a 67% stake in the operation and continue in its role as the site operator.
"A game changer transaction in our view as it further bolsters the momentum for change at APA
The sale leaves Apache with an unexpected surplus to its targeted $4 billion of assets sales that were announced in May as part of a plan to raise cash and rebalance its portfolio. Apache in July agreed to sell Gulf of Mexico assets to private equity-backed Fieldwood Energy for $3.75 billion, not including about $1.5 billion of asset retirement obligations linked to the assets.
The deal values the Apache's Egyptian oilfield assets at $6.2 billion, or 4.2 times their forecast cash flow for 2014, Morgan Stanley analysts Evan Calio, Benny Wong and Jacob Dweck wrote in a note published Friday, Aug. 30. "We believe
The acquisition does not include about $1.2 billion of assets, such as working capital and inventory, associated with Apache's Egyptian operations.
Apache will use the cash "to pay down debt in order to maintain its current credit ratings and buy back shares under a 30 million share repurchase authorization, as well as fund future capital expenditures including international projects," the company said.
Those capital expenditures are likely to flow into nascent Canadian assets, which Apache's management has said it would like to convert into a new growth region, and into shale gas operations in the west Texas Permian Basin.

Man saws hole in restaurant to finish pudding
Czech man upset after waiters made him leave before he was done
Don't stand between a man and his chocolate pudding.
A man in the Czech Republic was arrested for taking a chainsaw to the door of a restaurant after waiters wouldn't let him finish his dessert, PoliceOracle.com reported.
Petr Svacha, 36, was eating in a restaurant in Zlin when staff members told him to leave because it was closing time.
Not pleased, Svacha came back with a chainsaw and cut a hole in the door.
"He sliced a hole in the door, climbed inside and went to his table, but when he grabbed the half-finished dessert he was overpowered by a waiter and handed over to police," Zlin police spokesman Ales Mergental said, according to Orange News.
He faces up to a year in prison if convicted.

Walker: Recall won't sway school chief endorsement
Wisconsin schools superintendent Tony Evers says he has no regrets about signing a petition to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Evers' position is officially nonpartisan and he is seeking a second term in April.
Walker said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday that he still hasn't decided whether he will endorse anyone in the race. He says Evers' signing of the petition doesn't bother him.
Evers is being challenged by Republican state Rep. Don Pridemore, but other candidates could get in between now and Jan. 2.
Evers says signing the petition hasn't interfered with his working relationship with Walker.
Evers says he has no opinion on whether he hopes Walker endorses him.

DNR to convene citizen trout task force
Group to help set management goals statewide
The state Department of Natural Resources is set to convene the first meeting of a new citizen trout management task force.
The meeting is set for Feb. 16 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. It's open to the public and is expect to last most of the day.
The DNR created the task force as part of a review of inland trout fishing management. The group is comprised of about 40 people from around Wisconsin who represent the Conservation Congress, conservation organizations and businesses with an interest in trout fishing.
DNR officials want the task force to help set management goals using data gathered from angler surveys and comments from public hearings. The group is expected to meet two or three times this spring.

First off, many thanks to Brenda of @MightyVanilla and Joy of Gourmeted for the recipe and getting their hands dirty in making this ice cream. Our girls' nights are usually filled with food, fun and alcohol-fueled NSFW conversations. It's probably best that I don't share quotes on here ;)
This particular night we got our collective minds together in trying to figure out how to use up the organic Avalon whipping cream and goats milk. We heartedly agreed that making ice cream would be perfect especially if we can add my 'leftover brandy' to it.
With a wine glass in one hand, we dove right into our gourmet ice cream making process. As with cooking, one must organize and prepare ahead of time. We used an array of tools, pots, pans and, of course, ice cream maker, so do ensure you have enough stove and counter space.
Secondly, this recipe does take time as you have to soften the figs, brandy the raisins, make the custard base then chill everything before putting it in the ice cream maker. So I highly recommend making this ice cream earlier enough in the day or the night before so you can enjoy it after your meal. OR because of the wine, time just flies by (I think there's a theme here)
And after some patience and waiting, we created the most delicious delectable boozy filled ice cream that will keep my palate happy for the rest of the summer.
Here's the recipe, courtesy of Brenda (thanks!).
Brandied Fig & Raisin Ice Cream
1 cup dried black figs
2/3 cup plump raisins
1/2 cup brandy
3/4 cup goats milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups whipping cream, divided into 1/2 cup and 1 cup
pinch of salt
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp brandy
Trim the hard stems off the figs and cut each one in half. Bring 1 cup of water and the figs to a simmer in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the figs, stirring occasionally, until the figs are soft and the water has reduced to about 1/3 cup. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
In another small pot, heat the raisins and the 1/2 cup of brandy together over medium heat. Let them simmer until most of the brandy has evaporated, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Warm the goats milk, sugar, 1/2 cup of whipping cream, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of whipping cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warmed milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spatula.
Pour the custard through the strainer and into the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
Add the 2 Tbsp brandy, softened figs and the remaining fig liquid to the ice cream mixture. Use a stick blender to blend the mixture until it is uniform and smooth. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Roughly chop the raisins into small pieces and set aside.
Freeze the custard mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped raisins.

Andy Oram, editor at O'Reilly Media, was also a Rapporteur and part of the Planning Committee for the First International Summit on the Future of Health Privacy.
You can view his recap and thoughts from the Summit here: Report from first health care privacy conference
Strange that a conference on health privacy has never been held before, so I'm told. Privacy in health care is the first topic raised whenever someone talks about electronic health records–and dominates the discussion from then on–or, on the other hand, is dismissed as an overblown concern not worthy of criticism. But today a conference was held on the subject, prepared by Patient Privacy Rights and the University of Texas's Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, and held just a few blocks from the Capitol building at the Georgetown Law Center as a pre-conference to the August Computers, Freedom & Privacy conference.

How to Grow Chard
Planting advice for how to grow chard, recommended varieties and chard recipes.
A-to-Z Vegetable Guide:
How to Grow Vegetables»
Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla
Great taste and nutritional value. Low maintenance and high disease resistance. Grows in shade and poor soil. Colorful leaves that double as ornamentals. What's not to like about chard? Also known as Swiss chard (though not native to Switzerland), this veggie is amazing when sautéed in olive oil with garlic.
Hardiness: Grown as a hardy annual.
Planting advice: In early or midspring, plant seeds 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep, about eight to 10 seeds per foot. Thin seedlings so they're 4 to 6 inches apart.
Harvest tips: Cut off outer leaves about 1-1/2 inches above ground level when they're 6 to 8 inches tall; younger leaves pack more flavor. Avoid nicking the terminal bud in the center.
Recommendations: Burgundy (red), Perpetual (white), Rainbow (mixed red, yellow and white).

These things are out-of-this-world yummy and SO easy. I knew it was perfect for my guest post! Next I had to make sure my pictures were up to par. I follow The Crafty Nest closely and it was one of the blogs that inspired me when I first started out as a blogger. Luckily, I just held my breath, shot some pictures, and they turned out perfect!
To make these babies you will need two ingredients – yes ONLY two ingredients!
- Andes Crème de Menthe baking chips
- Sleeve of Ritz crackers
- Pour the baking chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals. Between intervals pull the bowl out and stir the chips. Continue to do this until all of the chocolate is melted into a creamy goodness.
- Dip the crackers into the chocolate one by one.
- Use a fork to remove the crackers from the chocolate and let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Place on was paper to cool
Now you just have to decide what you are going to do with the cookies. Eat them up for yourself or give them as gifts. These are so easy and quick – they would make perfect last minute neighbor gifts… if you can stand to part with them!

Nearly 100 Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce members and associates attended the chamber's second annual Office Party earlier this month, learning tips for hosting safe and healthy celebrations.
"Our annual Office Party events provide opportunities for Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce members to network while learning helpful tips for hosting safe and healthy events of their own," said Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Workplace Well-Being Committee Chair and Health Care Service Corporation Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paul Handel. "At the event, attendees experienced first-hand how they can create exceptional, safe events with interesting food and non-alcoholic beverage options."
The Chicagoland chamber's Office Party featured a beverage station that served alcohol-removed wines, non-alcohol beers, sparkling waters, exotic teas, and sodas. In addition, a self-service beverage station featured aqua frescas made from local seasonal fruits.
Food stations were strategically placed in each room so guests could enjoy healthy finger foods, including Mediterranean mezze platters, vegetable crudites, kabobs, and sweets of fruits and yogurts.
To demonstrate tips for safe and healthy celebrations at the Office Party, the chamber's lobby and conference rooms were transformed from their everyday look and feel through the use of festive decor, linens, and accents sprinkled with glitter.
"In addition to demonstrating healthy and safe food and beverage options, we also emphasized that guests work to transform their everyday spaces to reflect the ambience of their special occasion," said Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Education and Workforce Development Peggy Luce. "We also promoted that guests 'dress for their day,' showing how allowing attendees to 'come as they are' – either in power suits or business casual – may help facilitate a stress-free event. The message is to enjoy events with safe and healthy refreshments, leaving ready for your evening activities after the party."
The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Workplace Well-Being Committee is partially supported by funding from the Illinois Department of Human Services Substance Abuse Prevention Program. The committee encourages Chicago area companies to take positive action toward workforce substance abuse prevention by supporting a workplace culture without stigmas about behavioral health issues; providing employee education, awareness, and resources regarding substance misuse, abuse, and addiction; and adopting an integrated approach to the delivery of healthcare benefits, wellness programs, health risk assessments,, disability coverage, workers compensation, and employee assistance programs.
Kapow Events offers the "Top 5 Must Do's" for getting through and even enjoying your company's holiday party this season.
1. If you're bringing a spouse or guest, send them a quick email the day of the party that includes: Who will be there so they are familiar with people's names, and at least one big project happening at the office so they can chat with others if left alone.
2. If there's a Secret Santa office gift, spend a little extra so that whoever gets your gift is happy and doesn't feel cheated.
3. Bring mints and floss to keep your pearly whites free of food, and your breath smelling fresh.
4. Clear your schedule for that evening. Don't be too busy to socialize with your work peers and never be the first or the last to leave.
5. Show up for work the next day regardless of how you feel and regardless of what happened at the event.

The first track is fantastic too what the hell are you talking about... Man, the lyrics are insane on that one. Nothing like the last screamed words being "The fire baptizes little children when I blow this shit up!"... and then a classic swedish children song from an old kid's show.

Barrett jabs Walker on legal defense fund
Barrett, Walker make campaign stops in Rock County
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett said it's troubling that the governor has set up a legal defense fund into which he recently transferred $100,000.
Both Barrett and Gov. Scott Walker made campaign stops in Rock County on Wednesday ahead of next week's recall election.
The topic of Walker's legal defense fund came up during campaign stops in Janesville.
The fund is connected to an ongoing John Doe investigation in Milwaukee County that's connected to Walker's former aides and associates.
Walker has hired two criminal attorneys to represent him, but he has previously said he does not believe he is the target of any investigation.
According to campaign filings Tuesday, Walker moved $70,000 on May 3 and $30,000 on May 17 to his legal defense fund.
At a campaign stop in Janesville, Barrett said he will restore truth and integrity to the governor's office.
A full house of supporters welcomed him to his campaign headquarters in Janesville. Barrett then led a group of supporters to the municipal building so they could vote early.
"I think that's troubling to the people in this state that their governor is under a cloud. You have an embattled governor who's under a legal cloud who has spent tens of thousands of dollars for criminal defense attorneys. There's something wrong there," Barrett said.
Barrett said he wants Walker to explain who is paying for the defense fund.
By law, Walker must ask donors to shift money from the campaign to his legal fund, but he has refused to disclose which donors allowed him to do that.While touring Mid-State Equipment in Janesville, Walker responded to questions about why the legal fund is growing and what it's being used for.
"It's very clear for us, to be in a position to cooperate with the mountain of documents we have to be involved in, I don't think taxpayers want me spending my time as governor doing that. They want me spending my time helping the people of this state find jobs."
Both Walker and Barrett said job creation remains the focus of the recall campaign.
The two are scheduled to debate one more time Thursday night.

Of course, tsuwm, the answer to your riddle is (F).
Yes, you are obviously SHIFTLESS becausethe whole point is that you don't SHIFT, and obviously you are NOT LAZY because you prepared this elaborate quiz and test.
Ergo, (C) is contradictory, and inasmuch as we are instructed to choose only one answer (an answer we could not possibly discern without more information) our only other option is to choose (F).
Only there can we cover all three of your shortcommings in one fell swoop.
