text: Hello, I am a new member here and I am not sure if this is where I need to post but I am currently pumping to try and relactate for my 8 month old son. We have had a 6 month break from breastfeeding so I know this will be hard. I was an exclusive pumper and I had problems with my supply. I had an over supply at first and then my supply severely dropped. I know my son will not be able to latch (he has never been able to and has only been able to use one type of bottle since he was born) but I would love to give pumping another try. Do you have any advice? How often should I pump? I am taking fenugreek now, but I don't want to take an prescription drugs... I have read all of the articles but none really seem to apply to my situation. Thanks!

Bring expectations down to Earth
By Ann Hornaday
Friday, June 8, 2012
"Prometheus" began life as a prequel to "Alien," Ridley Scott's seminal 1979 science-fiction action film; along the way it became a stand-alone project, its chief claim to fame being that it marked Scott's hotly anticipated return to the genre since his similarly genre-defining "Blade Runner."
So the biggest surprise about "Prometheus" might be just how unoriginal it is, given Scott's track record as a genre game-changer. Visually impressive and featuring one or two breakout performances, this anticlimactic exercise too often plays as though it has been cobbled together from archetypes, imagery and tropes from countless other movies.
The disappointment takes its time settling in after a promising overture, during which Scott's camera swoops majestically over an otherworldly landscape, a portentous orchestral score signaling that, rather than traffic in pulpy escapism, "Prometheus" intends to take itself very seriously.
Soon enough, we meet the principal players of "Prometheus": Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), archeologists who are leading a group of explorers in the year 2089 when they happen upon a cave of futuristic dreams. Wall paintings confirm their competing theories regarding the extraterrestrial source of life.
When the action picks up a few years later, Holloway, Shaw and their ragtag team -- overseen by chilly corporate honcho Meredith Vickers (played by Charlize Theron in a witchy turn in keeping with a similar character in "Snow White and the Huntsman") -- have boarded a spacecraft called Prometheus, which, under the sponsorship of Weyland Industries, is taking them to an undisclosed location and, presumably, to the origin of the human species itself.
At least that's the fondest wish of Shaw, who as portrayed by Rapace (best known as the Swedish actress who played Lisbeth Salander in the first version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") emerges as one of the movie's most nuanced characters, a scientist as compelled by her belief in God as by cold, hard facts.
Holloway, her love interest, is supposedly her opposite number, believing in Darwin rather than a higher being.
But the role of spiritual other half by rights belongs to the starship's valet: a serenely servile android named David, played by Michael Fassbender in a performance reminiscent of David Bowie's "The Man Who Fell to Earth," Dirk Bogarde's "The Servant" and Peter O'Toole's "Lawrence of Arabia," which David studies assiduously to learn how to be human.
As always, Fassbender delivers an assured and subtle performance of superb control and physical expressiveness, but the fact that his references are made so explicit is of a piece with "Prometheus's" derivative style, which nods to everything from "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "Star Trek" as Shaw and her crew explore a darkly forbidding planet. (Even the holographic ghosts that they momentarily encounter seem vaguely reminiscent of something else -- in this case, of Tupac Shakur's recent posthumous appearance at the Coachella music festival.)
Scott can always be relied upon to create bold visual designs in his movies, and "Prometheus" is no exception: The movie looks good -- from the ship's crammed bridge and Vickers's snow-white, Swarovski-chandeliered cabin to the glyphs, cylindrical ruins and biomorphic pod-shapes that dominate the labyrinthine pyramid where the crew does most of its intergalactic spelunking.
It's a pity that Scott climbed onto the 3-D bandwagon for "Prometheus." Its striking visuals aren't enhanced but undermined by the effect -- here utterly devoid of depth or surprise, even when slithering, albino space-lampreys begin to pop out where they're least expected.
If it beggars belief that an otherwise intelligent scientist (played in the film by Rafe Spall) would actually reach out and touch a hissing alien cobralike life form, how else will "Prometheus" get to the goopy parts? Rest assured, it does get goopy -- not to mention gory and grotesque, from a nasty subcutaneous worm infestation to a climactic sequence involving a self-administered surgical procedure that manages to be risible, repulsive and rapaciously sadistic at the same time.
All the God-talk and philosophical musings about morality and "meeting our makers" aside, "Prometheus" is primarily about delivering those visceral, terrifying jolts. That it does so without generating the taut suspense and moody atmosphere of its antecedents qualifies as one of its greatest failings.
Then there are the myriad loose ends, from a maddeningly random, unresolved moment between Vickers and Prometheus's salty-dog pilot, Janek (Idris Elba), and a confounding episode involving David and Holloway, to the fundamental question — why destroy what you go to the trouble to create? — that lingers after the inevitable carnage ensues.
Presumably, some of those questions are left open to create demand for a sequel to the erstwhile prequel of all the other sequels. But in the case of "Prometheus," that prospect is less a tantalizing promise than an idle, ho-hum threat.
Contains sci-fi violence, including some intense images and brief profanity.

Giulianis Lead Shrinks
By Michael van der Galien
Bad news for Rudy Giuliani: his lead in the polls is shrinking quite dramatically. The main cause seems to be (growing) support for Fred Thompson - who still has to announce his candidacy. Where, in February, 44 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents preferred him for the nomination, that figure is [now] down to 33 percent.
McCain, meanwhile, holds steady at 21 percent, Fred Thompson ran third in this poll, with 9 percent, tying him with former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
Romney, in other words, is rising in the polls. To be frank, I find it surprising that his numbers are still, relatively, low. Romney is a terrific CEO, became Republican Governor of a Blue state and handled himself well. He saved the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, which made him popular among quite some people (and gave him experience useful for a presidential candidate, to say the least).
Romney is, in my opinion, a good candidate. Better than most.
Support for him rising, and I am sure that it will continue to rise.
That being said, he has one major problem: 44% said they would definitely not vote for him.
Considering his resumé on the one hand, and the fact that most people dont know much about him on the other, leads me to believe that these individuals have a problem with Romney because of his faith. That, I have to say, is something I find quite appalling. He is a Mormon: so what?
McCain has a major problem as well in this regard: where he was first popular among Republican leaning independents and, yes, even among Democrats, that has now changed: 47 percent of those asked said that they would definitely not vote for him.
This means that McCain is now a more-polarizing figure than Hillary Clinton: 45% of Americans said that they would definitely not vote for her.
Talking about Hillary Clinton: as said, she still - easily - leads the pack in the polls. Her numbers remain the same: 37 percent (against 36% in February) of Democratic voters say they intend to vote for the former First Lady. Barack Obama is falling behind with 20% - down from 24%. Al Gore - who has not announced his candidacy yet - received the support of 17% of Democratic (leaning) voters. John Edwards is in fourth place with 14%.
"It shrinks ?"
"Like a bashful turtle."
The ascension of Fred combined with a steadily increasing number GOP voters now hip to Rudy's liberalism. It's all downhill for Giuliani from here.....
The truth is, in the past week, Giuliani has gained about 8 points even after exposing himself on abortion and guns. Here are the polls if you want to see them:
If you want to know why all the anti-Rudy tirades on FR tonight, I suggest you take a look at the today's Fox News poll showing Rudy at 35 and Thompson at 8. All of the buzz Thompson is trying to generate has born little fruit as he has lost 7 points in the past few weeks.
I think some good and decent conservatives are reaching the tipping point. The realization is sinking in that the political center has indeed shifted away from us, yet again. And yet again we are confronted with having to choose between ideology and relevance.
Even if Rudy Giuliani is not welcome in your house, I am sure all conservatives will always be welcome in his. He will have milk and chocolate chip cookies waiting for you.
The Republican party conservative base is hungry for an electable CONSERVATIVE. Fred Thompson is just that man.
I have to wonder what will happen when McCain and Romney start running ads pointing out Giuliani's previous record of liberalism, his chumminess with Clinton, etc. This could cause him to fall.
Having said that, if RG is the GOP nominee anyway, I would support him over any Democrat. I would just be wary after he became president. :-\
I think all these polls are meaningless until and unless Fred Thompson announces and begins campaigning. Right now he has very little name recognition nationally. When he spends as much time in the public eye as McCain and Giuliani do, we can compare apples and apples.
Yeah, I have been reading them. I thought I could lighten things up a little.
With Giuliani gaining 8 points in the last week in spite of numerous MSM hit pieces attacking him, I think the guy is pretty much immune from attack. He was inoculated the day his city was devastated by terrorists, and any hits targeted at him will backfire on the attacker. We are already seeing evidence of that.
Whoever wants to beat Rudy will have to generate some positive reasons to support the alternative, not the least of which will have to be a demonstrated ability to beat the Dim nominee in the general. I don't believe it will happen.
I find it amusing that all these conservatives are so excited about someone whose biggest achievment while Governor was instituting Hillarycare statewide.
Romney's Mormonism doesn't matter to me. Mormons may have some odd religious ideas (IMHO) but many of them are reliably conservative.
But Mitt Romney has a lot of strikes against him. He seems willing to say whatever it takes to please people, and then to shift and change as soon as people want to hear something else. I just don't trust him.
Giuliani could have been the best candidate IF he had changed his positions on abortion, guns, and a few other things. He didn't. I think he blew it. I hope Fred Thompson has got what it takes when the heat is on, because he's the last one left at this point.
That's very disturbing if true. Got links?
To what? The 8 point gain? It is at realclearpolitics.com. I linked it. Fox News today has him at 35, as did Gallup yesterday. Last week he had fallen to the mid 20's. Exposing himself on guns and abortion? There must be 100 threads at FR alone.
There's simply no one on the Republican side who inspires interest in the general, non-hardcore right public.
I know that you didn't miss JR's words today on continuing to pimp for Rudy. Why do you continue?
realclearpolitics.com is not a link to a poll, foxnews.com is not a link to a poll. Do you have a direct link to the polls? Are they online polls or actual polls?
You're the band that's continuing to play while the Titanic is going down.
I had a private discussion with him. As I understand it, he does not object to my supporting Giuliani, but to my criticizing conservatives. So I have agreed to refrain from criticizing conservatives or conservatism, which is not hard for me to do since I am quite conservative myself, as JimRob well knows. I have been around these parts for 9 years and if you want to traverse my thousands of posts going all the way back to Clinton's impeachment, you will find that I have been consistently a hard-line conservative constitutionalist.
In fact, in Rudy's house, conservatives will be offered a warm blanket, hot chocolate and oatmeal cookies. I am a conservative, and I am in Rudy's house, and I tell you it's nice and warm and the future is bright and free of negativity.
Here is the Fox News poll. Real poll. It is a pdf file. You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read it. The results are nearly identical to Gallup yesterday.
>>I don't think Romney's Mormonism is the issue: I think people simply don't see any reason to vote for him. No need to ascribe bigotry—just because some of us see him as great, doesn't mean one's anti-Mormon for not voting for him.
I find it amusing that all these conservatives are so excited about someone whose biggest achievment while Governor was instituting Hillarycare statewide.<<
First of all, Romney's healthcare solution is the single most workable, best attempt to fix healthcare that I've seen presented. This is not state run healthcare. It is mandatory insurance, much like that supposedly required to drive a car. It forces EVERYONE to pay into the system—even the poor. The state is picking up at least part of the tab on these bills for years. And frankly, doctors and nurses shouldn't be doing work for free, particularly given the long hours they put in. Take a look at his plan. It's a heck of a lot different than Hillary's, and it still ties the system to the market.
Second, Romney has been an exemplary executive, no matter what position you put him in. When working for an investment company, he rises to the top. When put in charge of the Olympics, he cuts out all the crap, overcomes a sagging deficit, and turns a profit on the games. Now, tell me, how many other Olympic Games do you know of that have generated revenue for the host city? Barcelona is still paying off debts. So is Athens. Atlanta ran a debt. On top of that, he donated his salary for that job to charity.
In Mass, he balanced the budget and turned a deficit into a surplus, despite a massively liberal legislature. Without raising taxes.
Romney is also the only candidate in this race to have vetoed a measure (well, multiple measures) on the grounds that it was a far cry from socially conservative. Unlike Bush, he hasn't been afraid to veto bills. At all.
When I see someone who is willing to address the problems we're going to face down the road in competing with Asia, who is interested in providing not only a viable fix to the illegal immigration problem but provide a much-need fix to our legal immigration system, my ears perk up. And yes we have problems. Big problems. I have friends in Eastern Europe with masters degrees in engineering and PhDs in the sciences, and they can't get over here after trying for years—some all but giving up. But George Bush, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain want to legalize Jose the poolboy, who is going straight onto the public dole, having waltzed across the southern border, breaking the law.
If conservativism is about small government and the market economy, there isn't a candidate in this race more qualified to lead than Romney, and certainly not one with half the experience.
The Titanic went down in 2006. We are trying to get it a new ship on the water so that the most relevant discussions in politics are again held here at FR instead of at DU.
"FR will not be used in an attempt to turn the Republican party into a liberal party or to elect a socialist abortionist pig to the White house. Get used to it!!"While I genuinely appreciate the fact that you are not overtly criticizing conservatives, you are still using FR to further Rudy's path to the White House, right? Any cheerleading for Rudy is not advancing conservatism in any way, shape or form.
Stay snug and don't eat too many cookies.
Well, then, you should take it up with JimRob. It is his site, and his ground rules. I agreed to his rules, as he privately conveyed them to me. I will abide by my word, as I always do, and I am certain he will abide by his, as he always does.
A conservative case for Giuliani can be made, and I have been attempting to make it. It is based on the assumption that the Giuliani path is the only path to Republican victory, an assumption that has yet to be disproven by a single poll or any other evidence whatsoever.
If I was cynical I might think the mis-statement was intentional, but that couldn't be.
Attention objective lurkers: Here is the link. You decide who is up and who is down:
I don't feel the need to take it up with him ... I was having a discussion with you. I asked a question and you answered it.
Giuliani 2008!

Opening Remarks to the N.A.R.A.L. "Champions of Choice" Lunch
The Yale Club, Thursday, April 5th, 2001
As Delivered
Thank you very much for inviting me to say a few words of welcome. This event shows that people of different political parties and different political thinking can unite in support of choice. In doing so, we are upholding a distinguished tradition that began in our city starting with the work of Margaret Sanger and the movement for reproductive freedom that began in the early decades of the 20th century.
As a Republican who supports a woman's right to choose, it is particularly an honor to be here. And I would like to explain, just for one moment, why I believe being in favor of choice is consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. In fact, it might be more consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. Because the Republican Party stands for the idea that you have to restore more freedom of choice, more opportunity, more opportunity for people to make their own choices rather than the government dictating those choices. Republicans stand for lower taxation because we believe that people can make better choices with their money than the government will make for them, and that ultimately frees the economy and produces more political freedom. We believe that, yes, government is important, but that the private sector is actually more important in solving our problems.
So it is consistent with that philosophy to believe that in the most personal and difficult choices that a woman has to make with regard to a pregnancy, those choices should be made based on that person's conscience and that person's way of thinking and feeling. The government shouldn't dictate that choice by making it a crime or making it illegal.
I think that's actually a much more consistent position. Many Republicans support that position, but you don't hear that as often. For example, in a recent poll by American Viewpoint, 65 percent of Republicans supported changing the plank in the Republican platform that calls for a constitutional ban on abortion. That's 6.5 out of every 10 Republicans. And over 80 percent of Republicans believe that the decision with regard to an abortion should be made by a woman, her doctor, and her family rather than dictated by the government.
In any case, I just wanted you to know that many of my fellow Republicans stand with you on this issue. So I thank you, I thank NARAL for taking the lead in establishing freedom of choice for all of us, and as the Mayor of New York City, I thank you for being here in New York City.
# # #
Oh, please. If you spin, twist, gloss and lie enough you could make a conservative case for Howard Dean. The vast majority of members in this forum are not buying that argument.
"... the assumption that the Giuliani path is the only path to Republican victory,..."
Winning at any cost is not a widely-held conservative principle.
How do you reconcile your Constitutionalism with Giuliani's dismal record on the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
It still demonstrates that the guy is teflon, since the last few months have not been particularly favorable to Giuliani from a conservative point of view. The guy is a fighter. He takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
It's certainly not in either the Fox or Gallup polls.
I don't. If I were to vote strictly based on my principles, I would support Ron Paul. But voting is a strategic act. It requires political judgment in addition to conviction.
I have a PhD in marketing, and am very experienced in political consulting as well as market segmentation and brand positioning. Viewed through that prism, it is very clear to me that Rudy is the only candidate capable of winning the general election in 2008.
There is no point to having an education if you let your hopes and dreams get in the way of your ability to objectively assess information.
Put simply, I do not let my political ideology cloud my political judgment.
Well then, we should celebrate the right to terminate children under the age of eighteen. You see, they aren't really full persons until they can legally sign contracts enforced by law. Therefore, non-persons under the age of eighteen are legally subject to being mutilated by a mother's doctor without anesthesia for whatever reason upon demand by the mother.
A modest proposal. Doctors will, of course, happily provide this service to prevent the "products of conception" from being an inconvenience in the life of said mother.
In 1999 Bush showed steady growth in the polls breaking the 40% mark in February, 50% in May and 60% by June. Just for comparison, in May of 1999 Elizabeth Dole was polling at 24% nationally. Right now, CNN, ARG, and the LA Times polls have Giuliani at 27, 27 and 29 respectively. Within the margin of error for Liddy Dole's numbers.
On top of that, the polls, like yesterday's Gallup, continue to show Republicans are unsatisfied with the current candidates and the majority are still unaware of Giuliani's views on abortion, guns, and gays.
He peaked too soon. The magic is gone. Have a good Night.
Ouch. LOL
Thompson's high water mark was LA Times 4/9 at 15. Today Fox News has him at 8.
This is total spin. If you are going to a restaurant and someone asks you if you'd like a bigger menu, are you going to say no? Who doesn't want more choices, in anything? It's a silly game being played by the MSM to try to gin up some controversy.
Nor do I. And my political judgement says that long-term it would be more damaging to the issues that are important to me to have those issues become irrelevant to both major US parties.
As far as strategy goes, here's how I see it playing out if Giuliani wins the nomination: a third party emerges on the right and siphons off enough votes to let the donks win. Have you noticed that despite Giuliani's baggage, the NY Times and its ilk have been holding their fire? I haven't seen stories such as "Leading Republican Candidate Has Shady Past" splashed from coast to coast detailing his more, er, unusual proposals such as seizing property from those acquitted of a crime, or collecting DNA from all newborns, or setting his mistress up with taxpayer-funded security from city detectives. Do you think they're just trying to play fair? Or could it be that they're keeping their powder dry until after he's nominated? If they feared Giuliani as a candidate, we'd be hit with wall-to-wall Giuliani scandal to rival the Anna Nicole Smith coverage.
The vast majority of scientists believe in man-made global warming. That does not make them correct. And it certainly does not justify shutting down a minority view.
Or, put simply, you do not have any core beliefs that you are not willing to compromise for the sake of winning a political race.
Maybe he can find a fat-free frozen yogurt scandal to hitch his wagon to?
Do you really believe that?
You cannot change the culture by changing politics. You can only change politics by changing the culture. The culture is not conservative anymore. Period. We can lament it until we are dinosaurs, but it is a fact. All of the data out there, including and especially the 2006 election results, say so.
I am a businessman. As such, I assume the macro environment is something I cannot change. I must operate within the parameters as I find them. Most professional politicians approach their occupation this way, which is why people like Specter and Schwarzenegger have longevity whereas Santorum and Allen did not.
In my heart, I wish it were not so. But it is. The sooner we all figure out how to come to grips with it, the better. If a conservative emerges who can demonstrably beat the Dims in the general, I will rethink it. But I am convinced that will not happen.
And I will support my party's nominee whoever it is, whether I think he can win or not.
Well, I have a PhD myself in business, but I guess I wouldn't qualify as a scientist. But I have sat in numerous faculty lunchroom discussions with environmental science PhD's, geographers and the like. And I would say based on that, the majority seem to believe in man-made global warming, though they disagree on the severity, time line, effects, etc.
But whether they do or not, the point is that the majority is not always right, in court cases, democracy, or anything else. In fact, I dare say that in my business I thrive because I do not subject my decisions to committee, as many of my competitors do.
Within the framework of whatever is discussed, a minority view should be welcome. My credentials as a conservative are established, and I accept I am in the minority at FR. But that will not stop me from posting my observations.

- Abstract
- SN 1999aw was discovered during the first campaign of the Nearby Galaxies Supernova Search project. This luminous, slow-declining [Δm 15(B) = 0.81±0.03] Type Ia supernova was noteworthy in at least two respects. First, it occurred in an extremely low luminosity host galaxy that was not visible in the template images nor in initial subsequent deep imaging. Second, the photometric and spectral properties of this supernova indicate that it very likely was similar to the subclass of Type Ia supernovae whose prototype is SN 1999aa. This paper presents the BVRI and JsHKs light curves of SN 1999aw (through ∼100 days past maximum light), as well as several epochs of optical spectra. From these data, we calculate the bolometric light curve and give estimates of the luminosity at maximum light and the initial 56Ni mass. In addition, we present deep BVI images obtained recently with the Baade 6.5 m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory that reveal the remarkably low-luminosity host galaxy.

Our Right Brain Research methodology involves one on one, in-depth interviews with respondents. We use
visualization, relaxation and repetition techniques to gain access to emotionally rich information. Respondents
close their eyes and revisit experiences they have had with the product or service that we are studying. The pictures
of these experiences are available to them because the emotion they experienced at the time locked these visual
images into their long term memories. We interview respondents about what they are seeing and how they are feeling
in the picture. Our relaxation and probing techniques are subtle and indirect, which allows respondents to get
deeply into reliving the experience they are picturing. Reliving experiences in this way is much more powerful
than simply remembering because they have access to the emotions they had at the time and then can explain to
us why they feel the way they feel.
In a traditional market research interview, the interviewer might ask the buyer of an SUV,
"Why did you buy that SUV?" The answer will always be shaped by rationalizations and posturing,
preventing the interviewer from accessing the real reasons for decision making. Instead of giving
us information filtered by judgments of what is proper or what they think we might want to hear,
our indirect approach gets respondents to forget that they are being interviewed and allows them
to tell us about their experiences and what really motivates them.

What is the Peace Corps?
The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship.
Since that time, more than 187,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have been invited by 139 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation.
Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development, and committing more than 1,000 new Volunteers as a part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to help countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities.

I don't know where to start, there are so many excellent genealogy blogs. I have over 70 in my Google Reader. Gosh, now I know where my morning goes.
The first 'blog' I started reading was Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, although he was publishing his newsletter before I heard the term blog. But then, maybe I was behind the times. Dick never fails to keep me updated on the latest genealogy news and technical information.
One of the second blogs I found was Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings and it is still one of my favorites. Randy covers a variety of topics, often in an amusing way. And he has had several great series of blogs about various software products. I also enjoy his blog The Geneaholic. He seems to use this to track his genealogy work, and it motivates me to
I have also enjoyed Michael Hait's Planting the Seeds blog. Michael addresses a variety of issues of interest to professional genealogists, or those of us interested in the profession.
Since my other hobby is scrapbooking, I enjoy Jennifer Shoer's Scrappy Genealogist. She has good technical articles as well as articles about scrapbooking and genealogy. I'm one of her Virtual GeneaScrappers too, although I've fallen behind on that project. Maybe now that the holidays are over....
A few more favorites in no specific order are:
The Educated Genealogist
Dear Myrtle (and her Organization tab)
Marian's Roots and Rambles
And of course Thomas MacEntee's Geneabloggers!

Not Too Interested
I feel really terrible about my neglect of the blog. It's been like a week since I last blogged. But seriously, there is nothing to write about. Or maybe there is, but I'm just not motivated. Like, at all. It's not good, I know.
But seriously, the World Series is really not interesting me at all. Sure, I want the Phillies to win (GO PHILLIES!), but I just don't have any stakes with either team. You know, if it was Red Sox-Phillies, I would be a little more excited, but still. It's not my team.
And I really don't like the Yankees. I don't like having the Yankees in the World Series. And I don't like all these calls that are going for the Yankees. It's not cool. The Yankees already have a bazzilion World Series, and they really don't need another one. It's like, oh, the Yankees are in the World Series…again. Whatever. You know, some teams haven't even been there. There are a few teams that are dying to win a championship like that, but they can't because the Yankees are stealing all the money. So frustrating. There are days that I hate being a fan of such a low-budget team who has to watch all the big mean money machines win all the time. It's really really sad.
Well, lookie there, I found something to write about! Wow!
So Hyun Young put this picture in her latest entry and I just had to steal it. SO CUTE!!!
They'd better not trade him.
Well, hopefully things will start picking up soon. Ahhhhh we need some new news!!!

The Hot Stove will heat up now that the WS is over and we will all have lots to write about! And the picture is great!
Well, it depends on whether you are a true baseball fan or just a Padre fan. For me even though I'm a Padre fan I can always watch the World series no matter what teams are there. It represents the best of baseball. The 2 teams that earned their way there deserve to be there, even if there are other teams who have never been there. You can say the Yankees have x amount of titles but how many did Robinson Cano have until now? He was not on their team the last time they won it all. So it shouldn't matter they already won 26 of them. Also it was still nice to see Rivera, the best closer in history, get another ring even if you don't care about the Yankees, just because he is Mariano. I personally was for the Phillies myself, Chase Utley had the same hitting coach Tony Gwynn had and how could you not love Utley's performance in the World series. Also so was Matsui's. Then on the other hand Phillies fans are the most obnoxious in baseball, booing Hall of fame players and all, so maybe their fans don't deserve back to back.

Quality of sleep at night affects our ability to perform the next day. Mood and overall health are also tied to the quality of sleep we get each night.
We all have nights when we can't fall asleep. Life stresses, medical conditions, or maybe a noisy party next door. Whether you have short-term or chronic insomnia, there are steps you can take to sleep easier.
Environmental Strategies for Healthy Sleep
We love to be comfortable, warm, and cozy. Going to bed at night should give you the same feeling. Look at your surroundings and see if you can make changes in the bedroom. Here are some options to think about:
- Make sure you have a comfortable, supportive mattress and foundation.
- Your bedroom should be very dark. Invest in shades and curtains that keep out the maximum of light.
- Try sleep masks.
- If noise keeps you awake, try earplugs or white noise (a machine that uses static noise to drown out disturbing noise).
- Be sure that the temperature of the room is cool.
- Avoid any distractions like TVs, computers, or cell phones in the bedroom. Noises and lights are distracting.
Consider taking a short walk outside during the day. Sunlight or bright light may help you relax at night.
Behavioral Strategies for Healthy Sleep
Your body learns to respond to what you do out of habit. If you think about it, you have sleep habits too. Some of the things you may be doing make it hard for your body and mind to relax and unwind. A nightly routine will help make your body ready for sleep. Remember new habits take some time, so be patient and keep trying new things.
Use the daytime hours to get ready for sleep at night:
- Avoid stimulants such as caffeine (coffee, tea, cola, or chocolate) in the evening. The time will vary depending on your tolerance.
- Set aside some time for worrying and dealing with upsetting situations.
- Exercise regularly, but not within 3 hours of bedtime.
- Try not to nap during the day, but especially not after 3 pm.
There are also some changes you can make to your evening routine:
- Don't stay up too late. Make sleep a priority.
- Go to bed at the same time each night, even on your days off.
- Use your bed for sleep and sex only.
- Take a warm bath to relax before going to bed.
- Have a light snack about a few hours before bed, but avoid spicy foods or large meals which can cause heartburn.
- Avoid drinking a lot of water before bedtime or you may need to urinate frequently during the night.
- Check ingredients on cold medicines to see if they contain caffeine or other stimulants.
Keep in mind that nicotine and alcohol contribute to sleeplessness. Avoid excessive alcohol within 6 hours of bedtime and smoking within 2 hours of bedtime. If do you smoke, talk to your doctor about how to successfully quit. Smokers have more disrupted sleep than nonsmokers.
Of course, everything will not always work all the time. If you can't fall asleep within 20 minutes, get up and do something, then try again when you feel drowsy.
Sleep is essential. Keep in mind there may be underlying medical issues affecting your ability to sleep, like apnea, snoring, or pain. If you have long-term troubles with not sleeping, contact your doctor see if other treatments may help.

text: I've had a wonderful and successful experience nursing my son. But I have made the decision to stop nursing after five months and need some advice. I have tried to reduce my milk supply for the past two weeks by only pumping once a day and not nursing at all. I haven't nursed or pumped in 72 hours and my right breast is painful and engorged. Should I simply tough it out? Or will this cause an infection? I have to travel for business tomorrow for three days and I don't want to pack my pump again. (I can't remember having this problem when I stopped nursing my first born. I think my milk supply was much better with my second baby.)

Strength training (often used interchangeably with "resistance training") is the process of stressing the body (usually with weights, resistance bands, or the bodyweight) to increase a muscle's size, strength, and/or endurance ((The influence of frequency, intensity, volume and mode of strength training on whole muscle cross-sectional area in humans. Wernbom, M., Augustsson, J., Thomee, R. Department of Orthopaedics, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden. Sports Medicine. 2007;37(3):225-64.)).
This kind of exercise triggers beneficial responses in the muscles and bones, as well as the hormonal and nervous systems. Regular strength training, combined with sufficient time to rest between sessions, can also reduce the risk of chronic disease and slow the effects of aging((Resistance training is medicine: effects of strength training on health. Westcott, W.L. Department of Exercise Science, Quincy College, Quincy, MA. Curr Sports Med Rep. 2012 Jul-Aug;11(4):209-16.)).

Dozens of pictures of Arizona State University students are showing up on the internet, showing them passed out from partying.
Students were asked on move-in day at the dorms to see if they had heard of these so-called "pass-out pages."
ASU's passout page has 527 followers.
University of Missouri's? More than 14,000.
So what is a pass-out page?
On non-university-affiliated social media pages, students are posting and sharing pictures of their friends in precarious positions, and it's got substance abuse counselors like Gordie Bufton concerned.
"I lost my golf and academic scholarship to addiction and then it progressively got worse," Bufton said.
He found the path to sobriety the hard way. Now, he travels to schools to talk to kids and teens hoping they won't learn the same lesson.
"It only takes one misstep when you're under the influence and it could potentially ruin your life," Bufton said.
He said trends like this, which have been playing out on the internet, glorify binge drinking and can have lasting consequences.
"When you're passed out drunk somewhere, people can really take advantage," Bufton said. "It's easy for them to take clothes off or take pictures you don't know about."
We talked to some students on move-in day, and while most hadn't heard of pass-out pages, they weren't fans.
"If they're passed out, leave them alone. You shouldn't posting pictures like that," Darion Leahy said.
"They should have the common sense not to because if they're going to go to college they should actually be there and remember it not be passed out in random places," Yasmine Nunez said.
KPHO reached out to ASU to see if they were aware of the page, but had yet to hear back.

I read of this suggestion on here and wondered if there were any?
Also, is anyone on here from the North-West?
"If you're really feeling burnt out and resentful, one thing to try is a mother's helper. Young girls, age nine or ten, and up, can often be found in your community, to entertain your baby while you are in the house, so you can rest or get some things done. The baby can be brought to you to breastfeed when needed. These young ladies can be surprisingly maternal and responsible. And babies often love them to pieces, since they're so playful.:"

text: Hey...I hope someone can help me. I use the double breast pump every 3-4 hours for 10 minutes...which produces about 100 ml per bottle. Last saturday I drank alcohol so I was going to pump and dump it out but I got lazy. I went over 12 hours without pumping so by Sunday my breasts were engourged. I pumped it all out and got back to my regular schedule. Everything seemed fine. Then Monday came and I was only able to produce about 20 ml per bottle. Its been 5 days and its still the same. What happened? How can I get back to normal?

Contact: Nancy Dunker, associate director of public relations, 630-637-5306
Feb. 8, 2011—North Central College welcomes neuroscientist Lise Eliot, author of "Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow into Troublesome Gaps and What We Can Do About It," to speak about gender and the brain.
Eliot will give a free talk at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, in North Central's Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31 S. Ellsworth St., Naperville.
Eliot is associate professor of neuroscience at The Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science/The Chicago Medical School.
Calling on years of exhaustive research and her own work in the field of neuroplasticity, Eliot argues that boy-girl differences are not as hard-wired as many parents today believe. Infant brains are so malleable that small differences at birth become amplified over time as parents, teachers, peers—and the culture at large—unwittingly reinforce gender stereotypes. Children themselves deepen the differences by playing to their modest strengths, rarely straying from their comfort zones.
However, this is just what they need to do, says Eliot. In her book, she offers parents and teachers concrete ways to help. Presenting the latest science from conception to puberty, she zeroes in on the precise differences between boys and girls and challenges stereotypes. Boys are not, in fact, better at math but at certain kinds of spatial reasoning. Girls are not naturally more empathetic than boys; just allowed to express their feelings more.
Eliot also wrote the 2000 book "What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life." Charting the brain's development from conception through the first five years, her research explores the questions: How much of a baby's development is genetically ordained—and how much is determined by environment? Is there anything parents can do to make their babies' brains work better—to help them become smarter, better-adjusted people?
A Chicago native, Eliot received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University, a doctorate from Columbia University and did post-doctoral research at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
This lecture is sponsored by the College's Cultural Events and is one of many ongoing programs hosted at North Central College to enrich and broaden the academic and cultural outlook for the College and community. For a comprehensive schedule of lectures, art exhibits, musical performances and theatrical productions, visit northcentralcollege.edu/show or call Judith Brodhead, coordinator of cultural events, at 630-637-5276.

In this in-depth interview in Designing Sound, sound designer, Raymond Usher, talks about the changes in the game projects he has seen during his career. He started out working exclusively on AAA titles but now has seen a shift toward the majority of his work coming from studios doing small mobile and Facebook games. He estimates that his company, Euphonious, handles 20 to 30 projects a year.
In the article Usher shares his thoughts on industry trends such as the rise in use of audio middleware like Fmod and Wwise, the types of projects that large game studios with in-house audio departments continue to outsource and research into the effect audio has on gameplay.
What other game audio trends to you see in the industry?

Images of the Virgin Mary is an exhibition of international works of art from the late fourteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Based on the life of the Virgin Mary, the exhibition includes paintings, prints, and sculpture that illustrate the five major events of The Annunciation, The Nativity, The Flight into Egypt, The Pietà, and The Assumption and Coronation. Organized by theme, the exhibition creates a lively dialogue between artistic periods, medieval through Modern, and juxtaposes diverse styles and media. Spanning several centuries, this broad survey of Marian art allows viewers to consider the history and evolution of religious artmaking practices and to reflect on recurring iconography, or symbolic visual representations. The exhibition also highlights the myriad ways that artists have adapted and infused Marian imagery with their own historical perspectives, stylistic traditions, and cultural values.

Harrison County among elite
CADIZ – In the United States there are 3,143 counties and county-equivalent administrative units in total, and Harrison County has been chosen as one of just more than 100 counties in the nation to receive an assessment through the Connected Community Engagement Program.
At a meeting at the Puskarich Library in Cadiz Tuesday afternoon, Connect Ohio announced the results of its Technology/Broadband Assessment which concluded that there was empirical evidence that there was a sufficient market to leverage "real credible last mile providers." A point that was validated by Terry Jones of Agile Communications who announced that his company will complete current development and launch their initial broadband coverage in the county next month.
"It is very exciting for the county," said Harrison County Broadband Project coordinator Sandi Thompson. "This is a great economic development resource and it will also provide opportunities for further developments in education and health care."
"We are just one of 12 counties in the state to be selected," Thompson stated. "To have Agile coming to provide broadband internet access to new communities which have had little or no existing broadband service available is just incredible."
"The opportunity to grow jobs, skills, and lure new businesses depends on the availability and use of high-speed Internet service," said Bart Winegar, Technical Outreach Manager, Connect Ohio. "Rural Appalachia Ohio faces a significant barrier to the opportunities that the Internet brings due to connectivity and adoption gaps."
"From a business standpoint, DSL is simply no longer sufficient," Winegar added. "Our assessment gives Harrison County a score of 76 out of a possible 120."
"A score of at least 100 is broadband ready, so I am sure this is no surprise to any of you that this shows a great need for the county," Winegar explained. "Which translates into market potential."
It's a potential that Agile Communications is anxious to service. Jones explained that Agile, usually a middle mile provider, will take on the last mile role in the county.
"We could not find a partner willing to work with us in the area," said Jones. "We already had made investments and commitments in the area, we connected the library, ODOT and several other business and institutions in the area, and we decided to take the next step and take it on out to the residents."
Jones informed that Agile is currently working out the details of an agreement with the Harrison County Sheriff's Office to utilize the microwave towers to complete phase one of the project.
The Tappan Lake area was listed as the priority project in the Connect assessment and Agile will cover 80 percent of the area with a broad band signal which will offer download speeds of at least 3 Mbps and as much as 8 to 10 Mbps per second."
As far as expansion of the coverage area, Agile plans to follow the market. "We will have an official press release next week detailing the service and announcing community meetings," Jones stated, adding that there will also be advertising in the county which will solicit customers. "We follow the market, we will encourage area residents to call for a free study of their area for possible expansion."
"It's a challenge to reach into all the hollows to provide broadband access," Winegar said. "Unless there is public funding, there is no appetite for that right now."
Another priority will be updating and adding online services for the county. "Harrison County is weak in comparison to other counties," Winegar added. "We need to improve the online presence of government in the county."
In addition, the survey recommends improving public safety communication and pursue next generation 911 upgrades.
Winegar stated that with the assistance of Doug Crabtree of the County Engineer's Office, Connect Ohio had completed a vertical assessment of the county identifying towers and other structures that can be utilized for broadband portals.
Jones explained that his company had recently built a tower near Scio to service the Utica East Ohio Midstream facility. "We are proud to say that Harrison County is the first county in Ohio to complete a plan," said Thompson. "This is just the first step, and we will continue to work toward facilitating affordable broadband access and educating the community on these resources."
Winegar added that the report will be passed on to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an agency of the United States Department of Commerce, for their nationwide broadband assessment.

Many are found in bound notebooks that fill the bottom section of a bookshelf. Others are stored in a wooden file cabinet next to a safe. In front of his desk is a fine chest that has its own stories. Knickknacks nestle on the top of a wind-up phonograph, circa Thomas Edison.
There is room for two: a small chair for a guest and Rudeloff sitting at his desk, his head silhouetted by a stained glass window that used to decorate the First United Methodist Church.
Because of the southern exposure in the 500 block of Hefferman Street, the sunlight streams in, stained and tinted by the window. It illuminates a framed world map, suffering in agony from numerous push pins revealing any place he has stayed the night.
Some are red, some blue; there are scores of them.
Each has its own memory, and it would take hours to share them.
Fortunately, Rudeloff has spent the last decade doing just that.
Today (Saturday), starting at 10 a.m. at the Wicker Basket — five days before he celebrates his 89th birthday — he will sign and sell his self-published autobiography, The Kaleidoscope I Call My Life.
All those push pins exact a toll. The bound book is 484 pages long and weighs slightly more than three pounds. Price: $30.
The index begins with "Acropolis" and ends with "Yucatan" with three pages of items in between. How "Zanzibar" got missed is anyone's guess.
"Originally, I planned to write the book strictly for my family," he says, "maybe print only a few copies."
In his forward, Rudeloff credits the late television journalist Andy Rooney for inspiring him to compile his memories in manuscript form.
"Rooney took the viewer on a walk through a cemetery in Virginia and pointed to out a few of the headstones… he came upon a grave marker that had been obliterated by the weather… Rooney remarked how sad it was that there remained not one piece of information about that person."
Rudeloff decided to leave something behind.
Much of the work already was done. Throughout his life, he kept journals, describing his travels — a trait he inherited from his mother who kept dairies.
"I always carried a notebook in my pocket. I'd make notes as I walked. If I went to a restaurant, I'd jot down notes while I waited for the food to come."
He stored the finished notebooks in boxes — boxes upon boxes.
Trouble was, before he could utilize them in his autobiography, they had to be transcribed.
At first, Rudeloff tried to re-type them into his computer.
He soon gave up the idea and hired his wife's granddaughter to do the work.
"It took her months to finish," he says.
He then mailed the files to Tiffany Colter of Riga, Mich., who was his editor and proofreader.
It's all there — his tales of ancestry, growing up in Beeville, college career, a World War II Army meteorologist in China, practicing law during the reign of an infamous sheriff, worldwide travels and retirement.
How long did it take Tiffany to work the chapters into a book?
"Too long," Rudeloff says.
Writing his book held a few surprises.
"I had to learn all about copyright material," the retired attorney admitted. "I soon figured out how to get the words turned around so the copyright material isn't recognized."
The trouble was that Rudeloff didn't know when to quit, even when he wanted to.
"My wife kept me going," he says. "And then, I didn't know when to stop."
Tiffany finally persuaded his daughter to get him to quit.
"She won.
"It felt good to get the thing off my shoulders," he says. "It was haunting me."
Rudeloff still is trying to put in chronological order other notebooks filled with material not included in the autobiography.
Another book?
"No, this is it," he says definitively, leaning back in his chair where his face is illuminated by sunlight filtering through that stained glass window, with colors almost like a kaleidoscope.

Town Manager Paige Roberson is recommending a combination of cuts to services, delayed spending and a tax increase of 5 cents to offset the difference in town revenue and town expenditures. A tax increase of that magnitude is expected to earn an extra $205,000 for the town in annual revenue.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve recommended some severe cuts that will be painful,ŌĆØ Roberson said. ŌĆ£And looking at how short we are, we are not going to balance this budget without a tax increase.ŌĆØ
As an example of what more could come, the receptionist position with the Sylva Police Department has already been left unfilled, leaving the chief to cover some shifts at the front desk.
To balance the current yearŌĆÖs $3.1 million budget, Sylva officials had to draw more than $100,000 from the townŌĆÖs savings account. A portion of that went toward necessary equipment purchases. Roberson said that type of fiscal policy is unwise and shortsighted and other action needs to be taken.
Most towns comparable in size to Sylva carry 68 percent of their annual budget in a fund balance. Roberson said SylvaŌĆÖs has dipped down to 59 percent as it has been used to shore up shortfalls in revenue.
But some of the revenue losses the town faced this year came as a surprise and caught officials off-guard, said Roberson. An estimated $25,000 was lost for video sweepstakes licensing fees; $50,000 from a joint liquor store venture with Bryson City that provided HarrahŌĆÖs casino with alcohol; $10,000 from the townŌĆÖs ABC store revenue; and another $20,000 or so in revenue losses from town fines and other fees.
Meanwhile, $13,000 in expenditure increases from utilities and employee and retiree health insurance exacerbated the situation.
But in light of the townŌĆÖs budgetary outlook, at least one board member was not ready to take RobersonŌĆÖs recommendations and make taxpayers stomach a rate increase. Board member Harold Hensley asked if the town shouldnŌĆÖt take a more thorough look at cutting its own budget before raising taxes.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve got people out there struggling to pay taxes,ŌĆØ said Hensley. ŌĆ£They might want us to sacrifice a little bit first.ŌĆØ
Hensley also pointed out that if taxes are increased this upcoming year, it will most likely be only a prelude to another increase in coming years as Sylva tackles its town-wide property revaluations. To avoid another major revenue loss, the town may have to raise tax rates again as property values are adjusted to post-recession levels.
ŌĆ£Then weŌĆÖll have to say ŌĆśSorry, folks,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Hensley said. ŌĆ£But weŌĆÖll have to hit you again because theyŌĆÖve re-evaluated the property.ŌĆØ
But Mayor Maurice Moody said drastically cutting services to residents might not be the best solution either. As new budget year approaches in July, Moody said the board will have to consider all options on the table.
ŌĆ£The board has the responsibility to the town to perform services, and it also has an obligation to the taxpayers,ŌĆØ Moody said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs kind of a balancing act.ŌĆØ

The art is you.
I went to MOMA with Jane and Cubby to see Pipilotti Rist's psychedelic, wall-covering video Pour Your Body Out. But I found myself drawn through translucent pink doors to the Here Is Every. exhibit, where I saw Mirror of Light, by Waltercio Caldas.
This was no case of "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" In Caldas's 6×6' mirror, reality (captured in a simple black frame) was the only thing to greet us. The one embellishment is a small red light bulb toward the bottom right, more a part of the perceived reflection than of reality. Read the rest of this entry »

Baker, Baldwin, King, Rice Families – Suffolk
I've wanted to delve more into my UK ancestry for some time and if I wanted to continue I had to at least think about how I was going to do that, So on Thursday, I signed up for the premium monthly subscription through the www.ancestry.co.uk (which is where my original account was set up). So there, I did it even though I was hesitant about hitting the submit button.
Anyway, I digress from the original topic of this post. Please be with me, as this is a long post, but I just had to write down my research and notes as I went along over the last couple of days. Hope it's not too confusing and overall the end should show some true findings on the Baldwin, Baker, King and Rice Families connections in Suffolk, England. The sites I used were as follows:
Whilst searching for information on my ancestor, William George Baker (c1836-1881) and his wife Susan Baldwin (1842-1920), I saw that a number of trees had Susan's parents different to what I had.
Most of the trees I found, had Susan's mother to be Sarah Munnings, one has Sarah (no surname) and another Sarah Chambers and most also have the same '6' children attached to them. There is a marriage in Dec 1825 between a John Baldwin & Sarah Munnings and from what I can see on the census records, John & Sarah Munnings had 6 children, one a Susan Baldwin born in 1845 in Suffolk, which is why there is some confusion. I do believe that this marriage and the associated children are not connected to my John & Sarah Baldwin. (The children were: John 1832, Charles 1836, Ann 1840, David 1843, Susan 1845 and Mary 1850).
I do think the following marriage between John & Sarah is the more likely marriage for my ancestors:
Parish Records Collection: 1538-2005
- Date: 26.11.1826
- Parish: Bures St Mary
- Place: Newtown
- County: Suffolk
- Source: Suffolk Marriage Index: 1813-1837 (FindMyPast)
I have not found a record for a marriage between a John Baldwin & Sarah Chambers.
Here is a list of information that I already had:
- Records in Australia show that Susan's parents were John & Sarah Baldwin and she was from Bures, Suffolk and born around 1844.
- On the shipping record for when William George & Susan Baker arrived in NSW in 1865, William is listed as having an 'Uncle George King' already living at Bundarra. I'm yet to find any shipping record of a George King arriving here prior to 1865 but there is a George King living at Bundarra in 1872.
- On the marriage certificate of William & Susan in 1863, one of the witnesses is "MaryAnn Rice".
- For William Baker, his parents were Samuel Baker & Sarah King. A marriage was found in 1831 at Boxford, Suffolk.
- I have a death certificate for a Sarah Baldwin died 4th June 1856 at Bures St Mary, Suffolk. She was 54 years and was the 'wife of John Baldwin, agricultural labourer'. Now that I'm looking more into this, I did find another two deaths for "Sarah Baldwin'" in the same area of Suffolk, both in 1859. One in Sudbury (4a/285) and the other, Bury St Edmonds (4a/337). I'm thinking now that maybe the death in 1856 is not the death for my Sarah. I'm thinking the one in Sudbury is the more likely one. Sarah would have died after 1851 & before the 1861 census, as John is listed as a widower in 1861.
- I can find no record of John & Sarah in the 1841 UK Census
- John & Sarah appear in the 1851 UK census, along with two daughters:
- John Baldwin (46) Born Bures, Suffolk – listed as 'Pensioner – Chelsea'
- Sarah Baldwin (47) Born Boxford, Suffolk
- Maryann (11) Born Bastead, Suffolk
- Susan (8) Born Stoke, Suffolk
- John appears in the 1861 UK census along with daughter Susan
- John Baldwin (55) Born Bures, Suffolk –listed as 'Chelsea Pensioner'
- Susan (17), Born Stoke By Nayland, Suffolk
- In the 1871 UK Census, John Baldwin is shown as being a lodger with James & Mary Ann Rice at Assington, Sudbury, Suffolk and is 65, occupation is 'Soldier – Pensioner' and was born in Bures, St Mary.
John Baldwin died 28th June 1871 at Assington, Suffolk. He was 65 and his occupation is listed as 'Chelsea Pensioner'. I found John's military record over at FindMyPast the other night and even though it is a little hard to read he states he was 18 years old and was born at Bures, St Mary and enlisted on the 14th November 1825 and served until 1846, which is probably why John & Sarah are not in the 1841 UK census as he served in the East Indies for almost 12 years, though I'm not sure of the date he left & returned at this stage.
- James Rice married MaryAnn Baldwin in 1860 (4a/629) at Sudbury, Suffolk.
Further research on Ancestry and FamilySearch shows:
- James Rice christening information:
- Name: James Rice Gender: Male Birth Date: abt 1838
- Christening Date: 28 Jan 1838 Christening Place: Assington, Suffolk, England
- Father's Name: Samuel Rice Mother's Name: Mary
- James married Maryann Baldwin in 1860 at Suffolk
- A number of public trees have James' parents as Samuel Rice & Mary King. On one particular tree, Mary King's parents are listed as:
I find the surname of King of interest here, seeing that William Baker had an Uncle George King already living in the colony, when he arrived in 1865. As yet, I have not found a shipping record that matches to this George King but I do think that this King family is related as Samuel Rice & Mary King were married on the same day in Boxford, Suffolk as Samuel Baker & Sarah King, the parents of William George Baker.
|Name: Samuel Baker Gender: MaleSpouse's name: Sarah KingMarriage Date: 18 May 1831Marriage Place: Boxford, Suffolk, EnglandRecord source: Suffolk Marriage Index (1813-37) Data provider: Suffolk Family History Society
|Name: Samuel Rice Gender: MaleSpouse's name: Mary KingMarriage Date: 18 May 1831Marriage Place: Boxford, Suffolk, EnglandRecord source: Suffolk Marriage Index (1813-37) Data provider: Suffolk Family History Society
So from these two marriages I conclude that:
- Sarah King (1809) & Mary King (1811) were sisters.
- William George Baker (bc1836) and James Rice (bc1837) were cousins and they married Susan & Maryann Baldwin who were sisters.
So in all, a rather productive few days of research on my UK ancestors. I'll write more on the King and Rice connections another day.

Comeback kids: One of the more enjoyable things about a Friday conversation with Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers is that you can always count on him to highlight for you the one statistic that he himself has focused on with his players during the course of the week.
Last Friday was no different, with Capers backing up perception – that the Lions are a fourth-quarter team – with empirical data.
"Here's the thing about this team: You look at our game last year, we started the fourth quarter up 24-0, all right? And they scored two touchdowns," Capers said, referring to the Packers' 27-15 victory at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day. "You look at this team, more so than any other team in the league, in the first three quarters they've scored 95 points; in the fourth quarter they've scored 118. So they've scored 23 more points in one quarter than they have in the other three combined.
"So you'd better be ready to play in the fourth quarter. Because I don't know if there's ever enough of a margin when you look at the games they've won. They've come back from big deficits and won three of those (four) games (they've won)."
