Ok, so I have a funny story, that just happens to have a pun added in for good measure. It is not often that I laugh Out Loud in genuine mirth, when someone tells one of those cute stories about their kids, or their relatives' kids. But this one had me howling......
My co-worker was telling a story of her brother's children, whose snooty mother does not allow them to chew gum, ever, because she considers it de´classe´. Well, it seems that one of the boys really, really likes gum, and will go to any lengths to obtain it: begging it from other children, asking adults to buy it for him, slipping coins into gumball machines in grocery stores.........all behind his mother's back, of course. But, his favorite, and apparently most successful, manner in getting his gum fix, is snagging the mother lode from underneath tables in restaurants! Gag! The mother seems to forget this everytime they go out to eat, and is always appalled and aghast upon discovering the wad of previously masticated gum, in her darling son's mouth, once they are in the car heading home.
I can just see the scene now: Snooty Mother glances in the rear view mirror to see why Junior is so uncharacteristically quiet in the back seat, and shrieks when she spies his mouth furiously working away (he must soften the specimen, after all) on what she suddenly knows must be his latest prize from under the restaraunt table.
Ok, so that part of the story had me laughing, but then when my other co-worker said "Oh, he was getting all his gum booty "Under the Table" I really howled!
Hmmmmmm, it doesn't sound so funny when I write it here......perhaps this is one of those 'you had to be there' things?!

Dear RR: that mother is very foolish to make a big issue about anything so trivial as gum chewing.Never start a fight you can so easily lose. A parent who is tyrranical about trivial things is very likely to lose the affection of the child, and make him (or her)rebel in many ways.

I'm not going to work too hard on this one. I might actually come close to figuring out what it's supposed to mean.

Well, Faldage, like I said, this is one of those "you had to be there" stories, to really appreciate the humor........it was mighty hysterical to us 3 during the telling

Not sure if you are ridiculing my story, Faldage, or merely teasing me? Since I prefer to believe no one has reason to ridicule me, I shall assume you are merely teasing me.

Teasing will work. But also my pun comprehension is pretty low. The lovely ASp has to tell me when I've made one.

In reply to:
The lovely ASp has to tell me when I've made one.
The above is an endearing scene to imagine. What follows is a bit of Faldagian-AnnaStrophician dialogue:
Faldage: Si tu id aeficas, ei venient. Ager Somnia
AnnaStrophic: Why, Faldage, you've made another one of your famous puns!
Faldage: No joke! Clever of me, Duckie!
AnnaStrophic: Oh, you do entertain me always in the way your great mind roams.
Faldage:Nihil est--in vita priore ego imperator Romanus fui.
AnnaStrophic: Why you've just made another pun, Faldage!! Would you like me to explain it to you?
Faldage: Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.
I think Faldage and AnnaStrophic must have a good time sitting around biding the time--Faldage speaking in Latin puns and AnnaStrophic pointing his puns out to him. Lots of energy there.
(Here's the site from which I gathered Faldage's Latin phrases since I speak no Latin and had to cheat:
...and if the above phrases were actually something completely different from what they were purported to be, please excuse my ignorance.)

Lily Allen is smoking a cigarette. Only non-classy ladies smoke? Because I've heard Kim Kardashian is very anti-smoking.
Love Marion's dress and Coca's outfit. Seriously, those pants.ReplyCancel
Lindsay has progressed daily to totally obliterated.
Cara must be trying to screw every girl in moviedom.
Marion looks lovely. I 'd do Kylie anytime but maybe she doesn't like boys?
P: Cara/Chastain tag team
M: Kylie
B: LiLo – Not in a pleasant or loving way.ReplyCancel
That Cara girl sure gets around.ReplyCancel
Rosario is making her rounds as well. She and Cara might have a bet going.
Lindsay Lindsay Lindsay. When Gary Busey looks less like the crypt keeper than you do, it's time to take a break.ReplyCancel
Cara looks like a muppet monster. It must be nice being from a rich royal brittish family that get you work as a model even though you're a major fug.ReplyCancel
Cara, Jessica, Kylie and moi … I would die happy! … and sore.
Lindsay is just a disgusting pig of a woman. And about as delusional as an otherwise functioning human being can be. The thing that really kills me about her though is the way that she always seems to have enough money of her own or from her clients to keep herself afloat. She's 27 now and looking rough and used up. It's really going to be interesting over the next 5 years or so to see how she adapts to what will most likely be a diminishing $$$ supply.ReplyCancel
Whoa. I'm not necessarily surprised that Chastain likes the ladies but this is pretty bold of her to do this within range of a camera. She seems pretty control-freak like.
Marion's dress is gorgeous! I just love her.
How old is Heidi's bf? He looks really young.ReplyCancel
I truly don't say this in a mean way, just a "sad but true" way. The blunt truth is that she's just about out of chances and her eyes already have that half-dead look. It's sadly only a matter of time, & I think not much (& truly hope I'm wrong) more time before she's dead. Just a sad waste of what was once a pretty, talented actress.ReplyCancel
AuntLiddy, I agree about Rosario.
When I see these celebrities missing the mark, and Heidi Klum misses it ALL the time and she has no excuses, I think of some of the everyday teenagers and young adults out there that just "get it" and they are on a very limited budget. They are just really creative and fun. Maybe it's because they aren't worried about wearing a designer friends fugly fashion "trend".ReplyCancel
Jessica Chastain is being unusually candid in that photo. Her Italian Count is in town, she must think it's safe.
Poor Kylie, 50 year old sex kittens are just sad.ReplyCancel
Marion looks stunning.ReplyCancel
Did anyone happen to see Coco's Instagram pic of Beiber and his merry group of asshats holding up traffic?ReplyCancel
Hey, at least Lily Allen has some talent and a pleasant voice, unlike Lilo. And I think I just got herpes from that Lilo pic. She thinks she's Marilyn. NOPE.
Who is Cara Delevingne and why is she being shoved down our throats? She's in pretty much all the pap photos at almost every big event. She either has very rich parents who are foisting their special snowflake upon us, or has been making her living as a rent girl ("rent-a-friend" if you're Taylor Swift).
Marion Cottllard is flawless, as usual.
I like saying "Coca Rocha" with a rolled "r". Is she related to Cara Delevingne? They're both bland as hell.ReplyCancel
Wait…are Cara and Jessica an item or are *we* assuming?
I think Cara is gorgeous. *shrugging*
Lindsay, dear gahd, I feel pity and I hate pitying people. 🙁ReplyCancel
I wanna know too what P/M/B means, not even Urban Dictionary knows.ReplyCancel
You are very welcome.ReplyCancel
oh Kylie likes boys she has spoken about how much she "learned" in her relationship with Michael Hutchence
I was so excited when I scrolled down to see the top of Marion's dress and then the bottom is a bit much, simple is better Marion but it's a huge leap forward to her usual weird get ups on such a beautiful woman it is just not rightReplyCancel
I seriously don't get the Cara thing either. She looks like about 10 miles of bad road. Is this what the current generation has as "super models?"
I just want to know where are this generation's Cindy Crawfords, Linda Evangelistas, or heck, any one even close to anyone in George Michaels' "Freedom" video? You know…Timeless beauties?ReplyCancel
*hugs* to aemish, hiiii! I've got a new phone and it's been hell trying to figure it out. I liked my old one better.ReplyCancel
I think Chastain will screw anyone who gets her press, a role or closer to an Oscar. See: Pacino, Al. Nolan, Christopher. Her penniless Count.ReplyCancel
hey, do you wanna be gay with me? :pReplyCancel
Why you gotta call me "penniless" Lydia? I may not be well to do, but my bills usually get paid, and I got a roof over my head.
PMB is Pussy/Mouth/Butt,
It is where on the broad I wanna bust my nut,
Whether I wanna treat em nice or treat em like a slut,
They should all be honored that they made the cut,
To be on Count's list of Pussy/Mouth/Butt.
I'm not sure that's an authentic photo of Lindsay. There's no cigarette in sight.ReplyCancel
Thanks Low. I may try my hand at more Creep Poetry.ReplyCancel
And once again, Lindsey is doing her old, tired "Hollywood" pose of blowing a kiss at the camera. Everybody has to do a shot!ReplyCancel

Fort Wilkins is a restored mid nineteenth century military outpost and lighthouse museum on the rugged shores of Lake Superior. If you're visiting the Upper Peninsula this summer, it's a must-see with friends and family! Today Barry James, a history specialist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, fills us in on what's new this summer at Fort Wilkins Historic State Park.
If you drive north near the very tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, you'll be in Copper Harbor, Michigan's northernmost village. Known for scenic views, excellent hiking and biking trails, this picturesque town also boasts Michigan's northernmost fort. Just a mile from the village is historic Fort Wilkins State Park.
The park is unique because it is bordered by water in a setting virtually undisturbed by modern intrusions. Overlooking Lake Superior's rugged shoreline, nearly 600 miles from their regimental headquarters at Detroit, soldiers built Fort Wilkins in 1844 to keep law and order during Michigan's copper rush. If they could return today, the men, women and children who once lived there would still recognize this wilderness outpost, where 19 buildings survive – 12 of them original structures dating from the 1840s.
A perfect place for children to explore and learn, most of the fort's buildings are accessible. Some have period room settings, others have hands-on displays. The Michigan Historical Center recently completed renovation to exhibits in the Married Enlisted Men's cabins. Located outside of the fort's wooden stockade, the four log cabins once housed married soldiers and their families. Known as "Suds Row," this is where the post laundresses washed clothes. The cabins now introduce visitors to Fort Wilkins through a new audio-visual program, exhibits and a cabin where kids can compare the past to the present.
When entering one of the cabins children can play in a mid-nineteenth century log cabin exhibit. They learn about period cooking, games and keeping house by measuring period ingredients to "Make a Meal," learning the "Steps of Laundry" and playing period children's floor games. The open exhibit allows kids to touch objects, climb on a period bed, and play house.
Another noteworthy improvement is the nine-minute orientation program, "Beyond the Wilderness: The Fort Wilkins Story." The program details the fort's history and helps park visitors understand the origins of Michigan's copper rush. The Michigan Historical Center carried out the renovation project in collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources' Parks and Recreation Division with additional funding support from the Keweenaw National Historical Park Advisory Commission.
If you are traveling the Upper Peninsula this summer, be sure to visit Fort Wilkins Historic State Park and check out the new log cabin exhibits, as well as the other fort displays. You may even meet a laundress or a soldier in full costume. The fort presents an engaging experience that educates both adults and children about life at this remote outpost. Fort Wilkins State Park is open now through the end of August.

Parents struggle to pay for college as tuition increases
As college tuition continues to increase, how to pay for it becomes a bigger challenge, and for parents who are looking to help pick up the tab, having a plan can go a long way.
Financial advisers say the best advice is to start saving early.
But if you haven't, there are still some practical ways you can help chip in for your child's college education.
With one daughter already in college, Todd and Teresa Hase are bracing for the cost of No. 2.
"We'll probably be living on Ramen noodles," said Teresa.
"I just keep telling them this just extends my retirement day," said Todd.
Their daughter Ashley is a senior at La Crescent High School and said her parents made it clear early on what it would take to get a college degree.
"They kind of told me ahead of time the plan they were going to do. They pay one-third, I pay one-third and then they pay another third that I'll pay them back for once I make enough money. I knew that ahead of time," said Ashley.
"We've always been very upfront with the kids. We've tried to lay it all out so there weren't surprises," said Teresa.
It's an important first step financial adviser Mike Klauke said he is quick to recommend to his clients.
"I think the first thing you have to do is really sit down with your child and set a budget," said Klauke.
Klauke said it's also extremely important to start early, so you don't sacrifice your own retirement.
"You don't have as much time for your retirement, so when people come to me and say, 'Oh, I'll just take money out of my IRA or my 401k. I'm 48 years old.' Well, in 14 or 15 years, you want to retire and how are we going to make that back up?" said Klauke.
While it's ideal to start early, there are still some options for helping your child out if they're already a junior or senior.
"Well first off, look at which liquid assets you have. What sort of cash do you have? Are there some assets you can turn into dollars that you can use for eduction? Secondly, do the financial aid and get everything you can. You may have to do some of the loans. The other is you can go into retirement accounts," said Klauke.
While the Hase's said they wish they'd started planning earlier, it's a financial sacrifice that is more than worth it.
"I think the big thing though is to make sure they don't leave school with a huge debt hanging over their heads, so they get a good start in life or an easier start in life. If we can help facilitate that, that's a good feeling," said Todd.
Other recommendations Klauke gives includes looking at a variety of schools and not just having your heart set on a specific dream school.
Klauke said if your child isn't set on a degree, it might be a good idea to start taking general education credits at a technical school to save some money before transferring into a four-year university.

An Eau Claire man will be committed to a mental institution after admitted he killed his neighbor last year.
James E. Olson pleaded guilty Wednesday to a felony count of first-degree intentional homicide.
Judge William Gabler agreed with the prosecutor and Olson's attorney and issued a lifelong commitment for Olson after finding him not guilty by mental disease or defect.
Two psychologists who examined Olson believe he suffered from mental illnesses at the time of the killing.
The Leader-Telegram reports Olson will be under the custody of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. He will be placed in a state institution immediately.
Olson was accused of killing 39-year-old Paul Oberle with a crowbar June 9 after Oberle returned home from working the overnight shift at a grocery store.

Contemporary designs. Contemporary comfort. Everyday value.
It's Earth®. A modern collection of dress casual footwear, grounded in the ideals of promoting a healthy lifestyle. From dress styles and wedges, to casual styles, to everything inbetween, new Earth® styles deliver remarkably against their value with
a comfort footbed that delivers wellness into every step.
Earth®. Step Into Wellness!
Earth® Shoes sent me their Wisteria Sandal in Platinum to try. I love the whole idea of Earth shoes promoting a healthy lifestyle, especially given that I've been working towards living a healthier lifestyle myself. Hearing that there was a company that strives to make shoes that are GOOD for our feet was like a breath of fresh air- and I couldn't wait to check them out.
I was excited when my package arrived because I'd sent along my shoe size but had no idea what might arrive in the mail…so when the shoes arrived, I felt like a little kid. A present!! A surprise! Here's what was inside the box of fun:
I love the polka dot box. Silly, perhaps, but it's the little things that make me smile. These shoes are so pretty, and most importantly do NOT hurt my feet. So many shoes just make my feet scream in protest these days, and when I find some that make my feet feel happy it makes me want to dance and sing.
The Wisteria Sandal offers a heel that gives a little extra height to those of us who are, shall we say, less than tall, but a low enough heel height that I'm not teetering around because at almost 38 years of age, I still can't seem to master walking in heels. The height of the Wisteria sandal is just over 2 inches so it definitely gives you a bit of height!!
One thing I absolutely adore about this shoe (and honestly, most of what I've seen on the Earth shoes site!) is how versatile the shoes are. They look gorgeous with a pretty dress, a skirt and top, or with a nice pair of jeans….they work with capris and with full length pants- they are dressy enough for business casual and perfect for an outdoor party this spring or summer.
Be sure to check out and like the Earth Facebook page. You never know what brands will share or offer to their fans!! Often special discounts and coupons!
You could win a trip to a Special Place on Earth, Free Shoes and Cash by clicking the image above to enter today!
Some things to note about Earth® Shoes
1. Earth® has been newly revamped and now offers styles with "positive heel" heights at an everyday value.
2. The new Earth® is characterized by:
a. Contemporary Comfort
b. Contemporary style
c. Everyday Value
3. The new Earth@ does not have "negative" heel technology BUT rest assure, the "negative" heel shoes live strong under it's original name, Kalsø Earth® Shoes. .
4. The Spring/Summer 2012 Earth® Collection is all under $100! Prices range from $79-$99 – and is made of real leather.
5. The new Earth® features a cushioned footbed for all day comfort, with:
a. A padded heel area to displace shock
b. A reinforced arch support to stabilize foot
c. A multi-density latex cushioning layer for extra support

John Cusack has pledged to match donations of up to $10,000 to the Freedom of the Press Foundation to help support investigative journalism.
The Raven star, who serves on the organization's Board of Directors, has long been committed to ensuring reporters have the money they need to focus on issues of public interest, like exposing mismanagement, corruption, and law-breaking in the government.
And now Cusack has challenged fans to help raise funds for the non-profit by offering to double each gift.
A statement from the 46 year old reads, "I hope this matching donation will encourage small and large donors alike to support transparency in journalism. We want this Foundation to be part of a broad-based movement to restore and protect press freedom."
"It's up to the public to bring transparency to the government if the government won't bring it to them."

I've been at work for about 6 weeks now. For the month of December I was Part-time and with the holiday schedule, finding a place to pump was no problem. This week was my first week back full time and it was a nightmare.
I work in an outpatient clinic and there are ~21 exam rooms. There haven't been any problems with my using an empty to pump until yesterday. They were doing interviews and were using all the rooms and offices. Normally I'm a calm and collected person. People come to me when they have problems but I just couldn't handle it yesterday. I was passing by the person in charge of the interviews and asked her if they were using Dr X's office. She said "YES". Her tone of voice was so curt that it instantly sent me off into an emotional frenzy. I walked off crying.
So today I asked a tech if I could use his office (I've used it before) and he said sure. Little did I know there was a room crunch and my boss promised that room to one of the physicians. Now how was I supposed to know that? He didn't tell me and I didn't know.
Once I was done and walked back to my desk, my boss pulls me into her office and tells me I should use one of the lactation rooms on campus. I told her the only ones on campus are 3 buildings away and that I would be done pumping by the time I walked there and back. She was "sympathetic" in the only way she knows how as a single person without children (she laughs things off). I asked her if someone complained and she said no. She said she was trying to preempt any problems or complaints that I was using exam space to pump.
Ok fine. I respect that. I also am thankful I can take so much time out in my day to pump. What I don't appreciate is how unfair it is. When female physicians come to clinic and use our rooms, they pump in those rooms when they're not seeing a patient. There are also physicians that have offices with locks on this floor and they pump in there. Why do I have to walk 3 buildings away to pump? Why do I have to feel like my child is not privileged enough to have a mommy with a medical degree who can pump in their exam room or office? I will NOT stop pumping for my son. I can tell you this though, I sure do feel unappreciated right now. I work so hard for this place, helping where and when I can and this is how I'm treated. That's fine. I won't get my work done, they'll complain and I can tell them in a few days that I need to be able to pump closer to my desk. I don't even take a lunch as it is because I'm pumping.
I'm off to cry again ...

Victoria's Secret Models Miranda Kerr, Irina Shayk, Karlie Kloss & More Go Topless For Vogue Spain
Most supermodels are used to peeling off and showing lots of skin, so it comes as no surprise that several of the most popular Victoria's Secret models shed most of their clothing for a new semi-nude shoot for Vogue Spain.
Some went topless, bottomless, and even peek-a-boo for the new photos, which include models Miranda Kerr, Isabeli Fontana, Irina Shayk, Karlie Kloss, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Edita Vilkeviciute, Constance Jablonski, Anja Rubik and Doutzen Kroes.
The models were all in New York City earlier this month to tape the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (which airs December 4 -- check local listings), held at the Lexington Armory; where the lovely ladies had some company on the runway in the forms of Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
Alessandra Ambrosio was lucky enough to model a $2.5 million bra at this year's show.
"It was perfect for me," she told People magazine. "I felt they made it for me. It's very romantic."
You can see the artistic, yet not safe for work images of the Victoria's Secret models from the Spanish version of Vogue magazine here.

Recognition awards are available to Cub Scout leaders who complete training, tenure, and performance requirements. These awards are presented by the local council. All of the awards require the completion of Fast Start Training, Basic Leader Training for the position, Youth Protection training, and participation in roundtables or a pow wow or University of Scouting. Click here for more information, including award requirements.
The Trained Leader emblem is available for all leaders who have completed the Basic Leader Training program appropriate to their positions. The emblem is worn on the left sleeve immediately below and touching the emblem of office for which it was earned. Because trained leaders ensure that the goals of Cub Scouting are met, every Cub Scout leader is encouraged to earn the Trained Leader Emblem for his or her current position.
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, many religious groups have instituted programs that enable adults that mentor youth to earn a religious emblem. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on leaders' official uniforms. However, the emblems are awarded through the various religious organizations rather than the BSA.
For a complete list of approved emblems programs, including a list of awards that are provided by each faith, see the Religious Emblems Programs.
The Boy Scouts of America, acting through the National Court of Honor, may award the Silver Antelope to registered Scouters of exceptional character in our region for distinguished service to youth.

Recipients of this award are registered adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council.The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service.
The Silver Buffalo Award, created in 1925, is bestowed upon those who give truly noteworthy and extraordinary service to youth. This award, Scouting's highest commendation, recognizes the invaluable contributions that outstanding American men and women render to youth. The service must be national in character and may or may not be directly connected with the BSA.
A quality Scouting experience will help keep Scouts in the program, and the Boy Scouts of America created the Unit Leader Award of Merit to recognize the quality unit leaders who make that happen.
The Unit Leader Award of Merit replaces the Scoutmaster, Varsity Team Coach, and Venturing Crew Advisor award of merit programs. This new recognition has revised requirements and may be earned by Cubmasters as well.
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Cub Scout leaders who practice and teach the Leave No Trace guidelines are eligible to earn the Leave No Trace Preparedness Award. Click here for more information.
Emergency preparedness means being prepared for all kinds of emergencies, able to respond in time of crisis to save lives and property and to help a community—or even a nation—return to normal life after a disaster occurs.

February 28, 2014 The Golden State Warriors were shot out of the gates as they quickly grabbed an 11-point lead after 12 minutes as they cruised to an easy 126-103 victory over the New York Knicks on a Friday night at the Garden. Carmelo Anthony led the way with 23 points and 16 rebounds over 37 minutes for his 21st double-double of the season. The 21 double-doubles are good for 23rd in the NBA.

Hey Chief are you watching this? Like I said look at our wins over the past 20gms and you will find Guard Play has been crucial to our wins. They did this with Melo on the bench spectating but I'm sure his cheerleading will be glorified beyond....lol
Huge flurry to close out the first half. Need to win this one. We are too close to an Atlanta team in a death spiral to not take a chance for an unexpected win like this. Let's go Knicks!

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ann M. Veneman, right, answers questions along with U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., during Wednesday's press conference at ENMR. CNJ photo by Eric Kluth.
By Mike Linn: CNJ news editor
The U.S. secretary of agriculture came to Clovis on Wednesday behind an entourage of political, dairy and technological gurus to promote broadband and wireless services in rural America and the re-election of one of New Mexico's congressmen.
Ann M. Veneman told Eastern New Mexico Rural Co-op, local business and media personnel before noon at ENMR's offices in north Clovis that advanced technology expedites growth in the agriculture business.
"Would we see a brand new cheese plant here if we didn't have good electricity, good telephones and good communications capabilities?" she said.
Veneman arrived at the Clovis Municipal Airport in the morning with U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., whom she is promoting for re-election, and headed for a tour of the Southwest Cheese plant site, stopping at a few dairies on the way, according to the secretary's agenda provided to the media by ENMR.
The group arrived at ENMR offices in north Clovis before noon and told a group of about 50 people that the future of agriculture is contingent on rural communities embracing Internet, wireless services and broadband, a high-speed Internet connection.
Along with President Bush, Veneman said she would like to see all American residences — from housing projects in Chicago to rural homes in Curry County — equipped with broadband services by 2007.
Following the 20-minute stop at ENMR, Veneman and Pearce attended a fund-raising luncheon at Chaparral Country Club.
At $1,000 a plate, the proceeds will go toward Pearce's re-election bid.
Pearce's district includes all of southern New Mexico, but doesn't include Clovis or Portales.

Out in the field with a large party of school children, you never quite know what's behind you or what's coming. I'm from the UK originally, where we can call '999' if we need assistance but out here we call International SOS.


text: I started freezing my breastmilk one month before I went back to work full-time. I think I have 100 oz milk stored in the freezer. Initially I pumped three times a day at work but now I am down to two because I would like to start using my frozen breastmilk. I am also running out of place in my freezer to store breastmilk. My daughter used to drink 5 to 5.5 oz. Lately, she is taking 4 to 4.5 oz. She is gaining weight and she is not sick or anything. She is teething. Does teething affect her appetite? She is 6 months old now. I am also concerned that I may have milk supply issues in the future due to stress levels at work. Is it possible to increase milk supply by pumping three times instead of two times? Thanks.

Are you scheduling your surgery for a Friday so your dh can be home with you for the weekend?
I have a sensitive stomach when it comes to pain meds and I can't take vicodin or I will hurl. They did try to give me that for both of my sections, so I am assuming it's safe. I wound up with Darvocet, which the doctor said was fine.
And about being put under, I had all 4 taken out at once, and two were impacted. They gave me the pills to knock me out, but I threw them up and they couldn't give me anything else, so they just took them out by giving me novacaine shots

#1 Landmark Federal Study: No Indication Fracking Contaminates Drinking Water07-21-2013, 01:19 PM
Jul. 19, 2013 8:45pm Erica Ritz
PITTSBURGH (TheBlaze/AP) A landmark federal study on hydraulic fracturing, frequently referred to as fracking, shows no evidence that chemicals from the natural gas drilling process moved up to contaminate drinking water aquifers at a western Pennsylvania drilling site, the Department of Energy told The Associated Press.

The only thing landmark about that study which I read was that it was the first time a drilling company has willingly let researchers partake in studying the effects they're having on the water quality.

February 28, 2012 —
WHITE LAKE, NY — The Town of Bethel took another step in the direction of a ban on gas drilling with a presentation on the proposed zoning amendment on February 22. Town attorney Rob McEwan explained that the amendment would not only ban gas drilling, but also a number of processes related to gas drilling, as well as "high impact uses."
McEwan said, "High impact uses are the kinds of industries that put out large amounts of air pollution, water pollution," and these are indentified by the North American Industry Classification System Code Numbers, which is a system used by the federal government.
The amendment would prohibit a wide range of manufacturing operations, including the manufacture of such things as glass and pottery objects, but with an exception carved out for craftspeople or artisans with operations that have five or fewer employees.
Further, there is a list of explicitly prohibited uses, which includes uses specifically related to gas drilling, such as natural gas compressor stations, gas processing facilities and non-regulated pipelines. Gambling, which the town board voted to zone out several years ago, is also an explicitly prohibited use.
Zoning consultant Ted Fink also gave a presentation, and said that he examined a number of studies about the impact of gas drilling on communities, including the environmental study conducted by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). That study, he said, focused on the positive economic impacts such as the number of jobs created, but not on the negative ones such as the costs of coping with population increases as drilling ramps up.
He said, "The DEC says very clearly that there will be negative economic impacts, but they made absolutely no attempts to try to quantify those, and for a local government to try to plan for the future, to plan for the types of impacts that can occur in a community once the gas industry moves in, it's very difficult if not impossible."
Additionally, he said, five industries have been identified that move into areas once there is a reliable supply of low-cost natural gas. He listed those as: fertilizer production; metal and glass manufacturing; electric power generation; compressed natural gas, primarily for transportation purposes; and the petrochemical industry, which create material that can be used in many products such as plastics, soaps and pharmaceuticals.
The day before the meeting a NYS Supreme Court judge ruled that the Town of Dryden did, in fact, have the right to adopt a zoning amendment that specifically bans gas drilling in the town. In his remarks, McEwan noted the judges ruling.
In public comments after the presentation, Al Larson, one of the founders of the Rural Bethel Landowner Coalition predicted, like many others who have been observing the progression of gas drilling in the state, that the decision would be appealed. He said, "I am certain that we haven't heard the end of it; it will go to the appellate division."
The majority of the residents who have attended the meetings have been in support of the drilling ban, but Larson has urged that it be banned only in the eastern part of the town where, in his view, it is not likely to happen anyway, and allowed to go forward in the western part of the town where there is a strong need for the money drilling could bring.
There will be a public hearing on the zoning amendment on March 15 at 7 p.m. at the Dr. Duggan Community Center in White Lake.

When Jack is asked to care for his eight-year-old niece, Frankie, for one hot Catskills summer, his crooked patterns are challenged. But Frankie is navigating her own troubles and just may be the accomplice—and catalyst—Jack is waiting for. Knuckle Jack was shot in and around Roscoe, NY.

"Tiny" is a documentary about home, and how we find it. The film follows one couple's attempt to build a tiny house from scratch, and profiles other families who have downsized their lives into houses smaller than the average parking space. Through homes stripped down to their essentials, the film raises questions about sustainability, good design, and the changing American Dream.
