Keith's II sold to Iowa companyFebruary 03,2014By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
An Iowa company has bought Keith's II.
Graphic Edge, based in Carroll, Iowa, announced Monday that it had purchased the screen printing business for an undisclosed sum.
Pat Venteicher, the general manager of Graphic Edge, said the company has no plans to close the Rutland facility, that all employees should remain in place and that the Vermont operation will continue under the name Keith's II.
He said Keith's will increase Graphic Edge's concentration in the New England market, and that expansion of the Rutland operation could be possible in three to five years.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN One person was displaced in an apartment fire in Graniteville Saturday morning.

Warrants issued for heroin suspectsMarch 07,2014Warrants issued
for heroin suspects
MANCHESTER Officers from the Winhall Police Department and the Manchester Police Department arrested two people on the morning of Feb. 9 at a Route 11/30 hotel and cited them for possession of heroin and cocaine, according to Sgt. Josh Epstein of the Winhall Police Department.
Acting on a tip, police spoke with Brittany Herrmann, 25, of Londonderry, and Joseph Giordano, 26, of Manchester, around 2:30 a.m.
Herrmann and Giordano allowed police to search the hotel room.
About 12 grams of heroin, 4.5 grams of cocaine and more than 300 used hypodermic needles were found and seized by police, Epstein said.
Herrmann and Giordano were released after being cited to appear in Bennington criminal court Monday where they would have each been charged with three felonies, heroin trafficking, possession of heroin and possession of cocaine.
However, neither of them appeared in court Monday so arrest warrants, setting bail at $100,000, were issued from Bennington criminal court.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

I've been taking this for quite some time as part of my Ayurvedic treatment regime for some health issues. It has been instrumental in rejuvenating the body and increasing life force (ojas). I have more energy, a much stronger immune system and have had people say I now glow with energy. The taste of this product is amazing. Spicy with hints of pepper but not overpowering. It has wonderful amount of sweetness. I take 1 teaspoon morning and night off the spoon. If you have a sensitive stomach you can take some warm milk (preferably warm unpasteurised milk) with it to reduce aggravation (of pitta). This is medicine so try not to ingest more than recommended (tempting because it tastes great) or it may not work as well or even aggravate on some level. This is very efficient jam. This company is highly respected. I wouldn't even consider this product from a non-organic source. One taste and I'm sure you'll agree how amazing this is.
Everyday, I put it in a cup of hot chocolate, or hot water & milk, and drink it after dinner. I remain mentally clear, productive and creative throughout the evening, while feeling calm and relaxed, without getting too high. I like anything "masala", and this jam is delicious to me. I love it so much that i've already ordered and received my second bottle.
My daily multivitamin and immune booster!

Love that this is the only organic chyawanprash on iherb, and hardly any natural sweeteners added. I have a spoonful every night especially if I'm sick and my cold goes away very quickly, the taste is quite unusual for a western palate, but I pick up mostly cinnamon and sandalwood so it is not unbearable at all. There are many health benefits attributed to the ayurvedic ingredients used so this is really a multivitamin in sticky-jam form!
Healthy jam

Whether you like the herb flavour of it is very personal, but for sure it's a healthy thing.
Herbs that liven body, mind and spirit
Posted by 5147782926155675632 on Jun 10, 2016
I purchased this product for my elderly father as a blood tonic, on the advice of an Indian practitioner, and it has worked wonders. You can use it like a jam, or with hot water as a tasty drink though I didn't have much success in smoothies as it is very sticky. I even take a bit for myself straight from the jar - it's an unusually sweet and peppery taste but quite rich so some will want to dilute. And so many fantastic medicinal herbs in one! This will make a difference to how you feel on every level.
very bad

Bad taste
It tastes good. But I got the package with bottle broken at the bottom.

Upgrading vehicles exhaust system is a great way to build horsepower, free up trapped torque, and improveupon restrictive factory systems. The larger pipes, low-restriction mufflers, and tuned resonators of a well-designed performance exhaust system can make a world of difference on your vehicle. The net result is lower exhaust backpressure, more horsepower, more torque, and a much better sound.

With a highly articulated fit and a soft brushed tricot backer, the Untracked Pants offer freedom of movement and low-bulk warmth while freeriding or hiking. Built with 3-layer GORE-TEX® fabric for durably waterproof/breathable and windproof protection.
The construction of 3-Layer GORE-TEX® Products is unique. A 3-layer GORE-TEX® membrane is sandwiched between a soft outer material and a knit polyester backing material that increases durability. These garments keep you comfortable and protected from the elements without adding extra bulk or weight.
The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside. But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you won't feel clammy or uncomfortable inside your jacket.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

another way to look at it......
I am thinking today....... and if you have been following my musings for any time, you know it is something I consider pretty important....this thinking thing. So important that I keep suggesting that you join me in the process. My today thinking centers around two religious philosophies.... two schools of thought..... two camps, as it were, that have been at war forever..... the mercy/grace camp and the law/rules camp......
why ask......?
I really enjoy reading people like Chambers and Tozer...... because I am constantly challenged to think! Thinking is a good thing... :) The other day, Chambers challenged me with the question, "Why does God tell us to ask Him for things?" That really got my head buzzing.....you know......... if God says He knows everything we need, says He knows all about us, knew us before we were in our mother's womb, knows the beginning and knows the end.....
have you noticed......
Have you noticed that we humans tend to be absolutely certain about everything....things like the way to do everything....like the way everything should work out...the way it ought to happen...today, tomorrow...a week from next Tuesday.....next year...the rest of our lives.... we have the perfect plan and the perfect way for everything!
People joke about Vermont having only two seasons.....winter...and the 4th of July!
just got back.....
It's good to be back from yet another quick trip. This time to spend some time with my friend Owen from NH. It has been a very interesting week.....learning tons of things.....but always coming back to the one thing the Lord is trying to show me....show us....show His people..... that single most important thing we need to give ourselves to, in order to come to that place of intimacy in Him that I keep talking about. Would you like to know what that is? You know I'll talk about it anyway so you might just as well say "Yes!" :)
More on communicating.....
I just read something in the new John Eldredge book, that really is just what I want to say.....it is so nice to have somebody agree with me! :) No way could I say it better or even mess with it...so I am going to just quote it!
Walking with God - John Eldredge - Page 28, On Learning to Listen
We are invited to become followers of Jesus. Not just believers. Followers. There is a difference.
Walking with God - John Eldredge - Page 28, On Learning to Listen
We are invited to become followers of Jesus. Not just believers. Followers. There is a difference.
Ask questions.....
He really does want to talk to us. One of the best ways we can co-operate with that process is to ask Him questions. It is almost like we have been programmed by our religious systems to believe that God is much to busy with all the real problems going on all over the world to mess with my little concerns.... who are you to think God would listen to you anyway and even if He did, if He knew what you were really thinking, it would be lightning bolt time!
Yesterday, I mentioned receiving a burden from the Lord. It was a very powerful thing. Our friends, the Rodmans, had sent us an email asking us to pray for a little girl named Kailiah.
the burden of the Lord
Did you know that it is ok with God not to pray for everything?
I remember when I first met the Lord (that's that Christianese language I mentioned the other day).,...but it expresses so well what happened back then in 1968 that I risk using it here :)

Two days ago, I mentioned the brakes that are located on the passenger seat side of our car....remember?.....that's where my wife sits because I am the greatest driver in the whole world? ...actually the best at doing anything? Yes, you do remember that, right? Let me tell you about the importance of those brakes.

By Dave Wagner: Freedom Newspapers
The Angelo State Rams are coming off a surprisingly good season — a 9-3 record, including a second-place finish in the Lone Star Conference South Division and a trip to the NCAA Division II playoffs.
Things haven't started out so well this year. Angelo takes a 1-3 record (0-1 Lone Star Conference South) into today's 5 p.m. clash against Eastern New Mexico University (also 1-3, 0-1) at San Angelo, Texas.
Second-year Rams coach Dale Carr, however, is not about to despair over the turn of events.
"It's not like I've never been 1-3 before, and I'm sure (ENMU) coach (Mark) Ribaudo is the same way," Carr said. "All of our games, except for the last one, have been pretty close."
Angelo lost on Saturday at 23rd-ranked and unbeaten Midwestern State 41-17. The Rams gave up 587 total yards in the contest, and trailed 31-0 at halftime.
Needless to say, this is a game in which both teams hope to begin a turnaround.
"Our players' and our fans' expectations were higher (coming into the season)," Carr said of his team's slow start. "But last year was a dream year. Age-wise, talent-wise and experience-wise, we knew we weren't that much better than anybody else."
Probably the Rams' lowlight came at Blackwater Draw, where the Hounds played possibly their best game of the year in rolling to a 38-14 victory. ENMU outscored the Rams 31-0 over the final three quarters, and outgained them 455-191.
The teams have two common opponents. ENMU beat East Central 24-15 and lost to Central Oklahoma 19-16, while Angelo lost 20-6 to the Tigers and 30-24 in triple overtime against the Bronchos.
"Offensively, they do a lot of things good," Carr said of the Hounds. "The quarterback (junior Michael Benton) is the No. 1 operator, and it's a unique attack.
"Defensively, they do a good job of attacking you where you're weak."
Last week, ENMU lost to 23rd-ranked ranked Abilene Christian 21-0 at home. The Hounds were limited to 181 yards, including a minus-4 by Benton on 15 carries.
Ribaudo did not return messages seeking comment for this story.

Judge Stephan Schick handed down a split decision in the case of second home voters in the Town of Cochecton who voted in the November election.
The judge ruled from the bench on December 18 that the five voters, who own and, in the warmer months, live in the property on Fred White Road, are eligible to vote, but the 17 summer residents who own and, in the warmer months, live in the co-ops in Lake Huntington Summer Community are not eligible to vote.
One of the owners of the property on Fred White Road described that residence as a mansion with outbuildings that was owned jointly by three separate families. The resident, Tibor Feldman, said the families had owned the place for 42 years and had significant ties to the community in various ways.
One of the residents of a co-op in the Lake Huntington Summer Community, Peter Glick, said he had owned his co-op since 1981 and also had many ties to the community.
The judge was clearly concerned that some of the second-home voters might be "manipulating" the system.
During closing arguments given by Kirk Orseck, who was defending the right of the second homeowners to vote in the town, Schick interrupted. Referring to an appellate level decision, which said that in some cases second-home owners do have a right to decide which location to vote in, Schick said to Orseck, "You may have shown that all the voters are residents of the community, that they intend to return to the community, that they have significant ties to the community, but do they have the right to change where they vote?"
He continued, "Aren't they possibly manipulating the system, that's why I talk about the aura of sham. Isn't that manipulation? I'll call it an aura of manipulation. I'm concerned that this argument gives them more rights than other citizens have."
Both men testified that they changed their voting place to Cochecton twice. Feldman testified that he first changed his voter registration to Cochecton when the former town supervisor Sal Indelicato was running for his first term as supervisor and asked Feldman to change his registration to help elect Indelicato to office. Feldman said that he subsequently switched his registration back to New York City until this most recent election when the gas issue and other issues began heating up.
Glick testified that he first changed his registration from Teaneck, NJ, in 2011, when gas drilling and fracking became issues. He said that he then switched his voting registration back to New Jersey after he and other members of the community felt the development was being unfairly targeted by the town code enforcement officer for violations because of their voting registration activities. He then returned his voter registration to Cochecton when he learned that there was a candidate running who would be more likely to share his view about gas drilling.
The River Reporter has not yet received Schick's written decision, but it's unclear at this point why the change of one man's vote might be considered unacceptable manipulation and the other would not. (It's also unclear if the judge's charge of "manipulation" extended to other members of either community.)
Addressing the specific issue of targeting by the code enforcement officer, in cross examination attorney Marvin Newburg, representing town supervisor Gary Maas, who brought the legal action, asked if it wasn't true that there were in fact violations with venting pipes from gas utilities at the development. Glick answered, "I don't know."
To be sure, there are several significant differences between the Fred White property and the Lake Huntington co-ops. The Fred White property is winterized, the co-ops are not. The Fred White owners own real property whereas the co-op owners own shares in a corporation and have long-term leases. It's not yet clear which differences the judge thought were significant.
This story will be updated when The River Reporter receives the judge's written decision.
Sources close to the challenged voters say it's not yet clear if they will appeal. In the meantime, it seems that Republican Ed Grund will be sworn into the council seat on the town board that had been to this point undecided. If the 17 votes had been counted, the winner would likely have been Democrat Paul Salzberg.
Voter registration precedent
The following information comes from a website called countryvote.org, which is affiliated with New York Democratic Lawyers Council.
The New York Election Law requires that the voter be a "resident" of the state and of the county, city, or village in question for a minimum of 30 days preceding the election in question, and defines "residence" as "that place where a person maintains a fixed, permanent and principal home and to which he, wherever temporarily located, always intends to return." N.Y.
Election Law
§§ 5-102 and 1-104(22); see also N.Y.S. Board of Elections.
The federal courts have held this definition to be "constitutionally permissible so long as the word 'he' is read to include both men and women and the word 'permanent' is not read in its literal sense." Williams v. Salerno, 792 F.2d 323, 328 (2d Cir 1986).
In determining a voter's qualification to register and vote, the statute charges the county boards of elections to consider the applicant's expressed intent, conduct, and "all attendant surrounding circumstances" including the leaseholds or ownership of property, motor vehicle and other personal property registration, residence for income tax purposes, and residence of parents, spouse and children. N.Y. Election Law § 5-104.
Dual Resident Voting Rights
The key case from New York State's highest court is Ferguson v. McNab, 60 N.Y.2d 598 (N.Y. 1983), which held that a person having two residences "may choose one to which she has legitimate, significant and continuing attachments as her residence for purposes of the Election Law."
A more recent appellate case, Willkie v. Board of Elections, 55 A.D.3d 1088, 865 N.Y.S.2d 739 (2008) held that this principle protects typical weekender/second homeowners who work in New York City and choose to register and vote from their country homes. See also Fingar v. Martin, 68 A.D.3d 1435, 892 N.Y.S.2d 235 (2009).
Lower courts in New York had previously come out the same way on this question:
Gallagher v. Dinkins, 343 N.Y.S.2d 960 (App. Div. 1973) (holding that where an individual has two residences where he maintains significant and legitimate attachments, it is for him to decide which address he considers as his voting address), aff'd, 299 N.E.2d 681 (N.Y. 1973);
Bressler v. Holt-Harris, 330 N.Y.S.2d 565 (App. Div. 1971) (holding that a candidate established voting residence in an apartment where he had eaten and slept only once in seven years);
Gladwin v. Power, 249 N.Y.S.2d 980 (App. Div. 1964) (holding that candidate established residence in a space she used as an office and "for occasional living").
Ferguson v. McNab is a binding precedent, and has therefore been followed consistently thereafter:
Geller v. Lasher, 601 N.Y.S.2d 342, 343 (App. Div. 2d Dept. 1993) (upholding residence where candidate and his wife have "intermittently lived at that address");
Umland v. Board of Elections of City of New York, 532 N.Y.S.2d 30, 31-32 (App. Div. 2d Dept. 1988) (upholding residence where challenged voter testified that "since her marriage, she has lived at the 64th Street address for intermittent periods, as warranted by family needs including health problems, child care and financial pressures.").
Criminal penalty for using "sham" address as voting address—see People v. O'Hara, 94 N.Y.2d 378 (N.Y. 2001) (affirming conviction where jury found that person took up residence at a location for the sole purpose of voting in that district).

Legislative Experience: Senate Member, December 2008 - present
Hometown: Houston
Party: Republican
Senator Joan Huffman started her career as a public servant in 1981. Upon earning her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University, she became a secretary for the Harris County District Attorney's office. It was there that she became inspired by the work of prosecutors and decided to attend law school. She took night classes at South Texas College of Law while working full time.
Upon earning her law degree, Joan was hired as a prosecutor and advanced from misdemeanor court to Chief Felony Prosecutor, Special Crimes Gang Prosecutor, and Legal Counsel to the Organized Crime Narcotics Task Force. She served as lead prosecutor in over 100 jury trials, including murders, sexual assaults, aggravated robberies, and sexual assaults of children. Huffman earned a reputation as a fair and tough enforcer of the law both as a prosecutor and a twice elected Judge to the 183rd Criminal District Court.
Senator Huffman was first elected to the Texas Senate in 2008 after winning a special election to fill the vacated office of Senate District 17 and has been twice re-elected. Her background and knowledge on various topics has allowed for her to serve on several key committees which impact the overall operation and efficiency of state government. She currently serves as Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on State Affairs, Vice Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Criminal Justice, and is a member of the Senate Committee on Finance and Legislative Budget Board.
Senator Huffman's common sense approach to solving issues has allowed for her to build strong relationships with members of both parties, which enables her to represent the needs of her district and her constituents efficiently and effectively. Her leadership has been acknowledged by numerous advocacy groups.

Tea Party Plan
Dear Editor,
The Tea Party/G.O.P. plan has now become known.
The election of 2010 which gave control of the House of Representatives to the Tea Party/G.O.P. Their goal has been to make President Obama a failure i:e: 368 filibusters a record, none of his programs are to be put forward and passed, i:e: jobs, stimulus, middle class and lower class programs and to filibuster his cabinet appointees.
Bring the country to a standstill by convening only 106 days and after the 2012 election to convene only 126 days. Do you feel they deserve their pay for no work? Passing no legislation and institute investigations which they wish will end in the impeachment of President Obama. Their grounds are based on false premises. He is not an American, he is a muslin, has violated the constitution of the country many times, ordered the IRS to investigate the Tea Party, the FBI to seize AP news records, etc.
The impeachment process will tie up the country thereby bringing all functions to a standstill. With the 2014 election near at hand they hope to take control of the Senate and keep control of the house which will enable them to enact their programs.
It may be the time to take a long hard look at what our country is becoming. To hold top offices you must be a WASP i:e: white anglo saxon, protestant. No one of minority origin should hold high office. We must look at what has happened to our country factually. Due to complacency the electorate has allowed those on the fringe to put their ideology forward.
Since President Obama assumed office animosity has been openly shown toward him, Mitch McConnel, announced on the floor of the senate their mission to make this a failed presidency. This sentiment was echoed throughout their whole party.
The country is seeming to revert to its past history of racism and bigotry. Remember when in World War II, we imprisoned those of Japanese ancestry, the military was segregated and after the war when those of Italian ancestry wanted to join the Elks and Moose Lodges even though they were veterans they were black-balled. Those times were not anything to brag about. Do we want those times to return?
We have a party that lost an election but refuses to accept the results and is ignoring this fact by trying to keep the country at a standstill. Those of you who voted for them, do you believe they are doing what you elected them to do?
In closing, we all better face up to one fact that is, we are fortunate and blessed that we were born or live in our country, not a third world country, where we would not have the advantages we are blessed to have. We must all remember that all races and creeds gave their lives to defend our great nation, not just those of WASP ancestry. Look around yourself, do you maybe sense this sentiment is prevalent in your neighborhood?

The $191,785.86 rebate was down by 9.17 percent when compared to last May's rebate of $211,155.38.
But Bee County has seen a phenomenal improvement in recent months when compared to the previous year's rebates.
According to Combs' report, the county has received $891,128.14 so far this year. That is an increase of 5.85 percent compared to the $841,852.12 rebate the county received in May 2012.
Most of that increase is being attributed to sales of oil and gas related materials purchased here for use in the Eagle Ford Shale formation.
The city saw a handsome increase in sales tax rebates this month. The $462,638.45 rebate was up by 21.49 percent when compared to the $380,783.41 it received last May.
Since January, the city has collected $1,948,132.10 in rebates from Austin for an increase of 9.33 percent over the $1,781,869.52 the city collected by this time in 2012.
This month's total rebates sent out to cities, counties, transit systems and special taxing districts came to $668.5 million, according to Combs' office report.
That was up by 5.6 percent compared to what was sent
Of that, the majority, $441.8 million, was sent to cities. That was an increase 4.9 percent over what the comptroller's office sent out last May.

New Holland, PA (February 25, 2010) -
In the meantime, Tier 4A emissions regulations will become a legal requirement in 2011 for medium- and heavy-duty engines above 174hp (130 kW). Once again New Holland intends to be at the forefront of the industry, with ingenious solutions that make farming easier and more efficient while respecting the environment.
"We believe that a one size fits all approach just won't work in modern farming," explains Pierre Lahutte, Director of Global Marketing and Communication for New Holland Agriculture. "We are committed to integrating the best available engine technology for every machine and operation." So, New Holland has adopted SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology for machines with engines above 100 hp and CEGR, Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation, for engines below 100 hp.
These solutions have been developed in partnership with Fiat Powertrain Technologies who are the environmentally friendly engine pioneers. They have already produced over 100,000 Cursor and Nef engines that effectively use SCR technology. Throughout this process, the technology has been continually developed and refined. This has resulted in a reduction in operating and maintenance costs, while increasing productivity and meeting emission requirements at a competitive price.
SCR is an after-treatment system that's separate from the main engine function and does not compromise horsepower or torque. It does not interfere with engine performance, but actually improves it. The SCR system uses a catalyst that treats the nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas with an odorless mixture of chemical urea and purified water, transforming them into harmless water and nitrogen. The system is easy to use and simply requires the operator to fill the additive tank. The additive will be available through an extensive distribution network, and can conveniently be stored on the farm.
"SCR will be further developed to guarantee our customers the most reliable, cost-effective and state-of-the-art products, when future, ever more stringent emission regulations are introduced for the agricultural industry," says Pierre Lahutte. "By using SCR technology beginning in 2011, New Holland has invested in research and development now that will be invaluable in helping us to achieve final Tier 4B requirements. Having compliant technology now allows us to keep our research investments focused on developing the next generation of agricultural machinery that will redefine the efficiency, comfort and performance that farmers demand."

Ex-Citi research head pens banker murder mystery
A former co-head of European equity research at Citigroup has penned a thriller novel involving a bonus pool and a murder mystery.
Mike Crawshaw, who led the European research team at Citigroup until 2003, is launching his first book 'To Make A Killing' tonight at the London Capital Club.
Set to a mood of public anger at bankers' bonuses, Crawshaw's novel looks to explore a 'profit-before-ethics' culture in big banks. The story shows how a group of 12 executives at the fictitious Royal Shire Bank – a failing lender bailed out by taxpayers at the height of the crisis – are about to share in a £150m bonus. However, a murderer picks off members of the group one-by-one, leaving the surviving bankers to reap a greater share of the pool.
Crawshaw told Financial News that the tale has grounding in his own experiences of the City – albeit without a killer having been on the loose.
He said: "What happened when Schroders was taken over by Citi was that the Americans came in and bought the last old British investment bank standing, and there's a bit of that in it."
He said that old colleagues have found "something of everyone I came across in my career" reflected in the characters of the book.
Crawshaw had co-headed equity research in Europe for three years after Citi bought Schroders' investment banking operations in 2000. He had previously been head of research at Schroders, and prior to that had been a top-rated oils and utilities analyst.
He began his career as an analyst at UBS and also worked for Greenwich NatWest in the early 1990s.
Although his book appears to tap into public outrage over bankers' bonuses, Crawshaw said his tale attempts to distinguish the good from the bad and the ugly in the industry.
He said of the influence of the financial crisis on his novel: "There are a lot of people to blame, but it's completely ridiculous to lay the blame sweepingly across the City. Partly this book looks as if I'm banker bashing, but if you read it and you're drawn into it, I'd like people to come away and think that bankers are not all that bad."
Crawshaw quit his high-profile job after becoming disillusioned with the City and wanting to spend more time with his family. He said: "I had been drilling down so long into particular areas of research, and I'm more of a generalist really. It was getting too stale there."
He added: "However, fixing up this book launch has made me look forward to seeing everyone again, because I do miss the buzz and the banter of the trading floor."
The 49-year-old, of St Albans, home educates his children and occasionally teaches science to others. He spends most of his time co-running a charity, Hands Together, which is headed by the actress Joanna Lumley.
All proceeds from his thriller will go to the organisation, which funds education and welfare in remote Nepalese Gurkha villages.
Published by BroadPen Books, the book is available to buy on Amazon now.

Speak No Evil1 of 11
By Woman's Day
There are a handful of obviously wrong, damaging and terrible things to say to a child (like "I wish I never had you"), but it may surprise you to discover that some seemingly harmless phrases can trigger resentment, dent self-esteem, or bring up other less-than-desirable sentiments in your kids. Here are 10 phrases you should think twice about before repeating to your children.
Try, Try Again2 of 11
I know you can try harder. Frustrated by a daughter who you know is capable of much more in school, sports, music, etc.? Any comment that makes it seem as though you're not satisfied with her efforts can not only be discouraging to your child, but can also do the opposite of motivating her to try harder, says Amy McCready, founder of Positive Parenting Solutions and author of If I Have to Tell You One More Time… If your "try harder" has to do with tasks or chores, then be clear about what you expect: "When you have your room cleaned up, then you can go out and play."
Food Matters3 of 11
Are you sure you need that second cupcake? You're better off steering clear of any talk that might foster a negative body image, says McCready. Incidentally, the same goes for telling your child that he's a "great" eater. Try to avoid labels (like "he's my picky child"), because "you never want to turn food into a power issue," says McCready. Instead, keep food-related comments specific and positive: "Wow, I see you tried the squash soup!"
ON WOMAN'S DAY: How To Complain Effectively
Absolutely Wrong4 of 11
You always… or You never… "At the heart of these statements are labels that can stick for life," says Jenn Berman, Ph.D. and author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids. "Telling your child that he 'always' forgets to call makes him more likely to be the kid who, you guessed it, never calls." Instead, ask your child how you can help him or her change: "I notice you seem to have trouble remembering to bring home your textbooks. What can we do to try to help?"
ON WOMAN'S DAY: What Your Best Friend Won't Say
Beyond Reason5 of 11
Because I said so! This phrase puts all the control in your hands, and dismisses your child's growing sense of autonomy and ability to figure things out, says Berman. It also leaves out a potential teaching moment. Let's say your kids don't want to visit their aging great-aunt on a sunny day when they'd rather play. Instead of "Because I said so" try, "I know you'd rather ride your bike, but Aunt Clara really loves seeing you, and we try our best to honor our family."
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Habits That Harm
Told You So6 of 11
I told you waiting until the last minute was a mistake! You've repeatedly told your son that if he played video games all afternoon, then he'd have less time to study for the math test. And guess what? Unprepared, he didn't do well on the exam. But saying "I told you so" tells your child that you're always right and that, by contrast, he's wrong, says McCready. Instead, point out positive outcomes when he follows through, says McCready. If he cleans his room when asked, say, "Isn't it easier to find all your stuff when your room's tidy?" This puts the control and the credit with him.
Such Great Heights7 of 11
You're the best at soccer! "Say you always tell your child how smart she is. She may, over time, become scared of trying new things or more challenging work, for fear she won't be 'smart' anymore if she gets a B instead of an A," says McCready. It can also backfire if your child is struggling with work and you say, "But you're so smart!" She may only feel worse for not living up to the label you've given her. Focus instead on her hard work: "You show up to every practice and try your best" or "What a fantastic job you did on this science project!"
Smooth Over8 of 11
Don't worry—the first day of school will be fine. What's wrong with trying to soothe an anxious kid out of worry? "If you tell your child not to worry, then you're dismissing her feelings," says Berman. "So now she's still worried about the first day of school, and she's worried that she's worried, or that you're upset over her worry." Same goes for "Don't cry" and "Don't be angry." Instead, say, "I can see you're worried. Can you tell me what you're most concerned about, so we can talk about it?"
Pal Around9 of 11
I wish you didn't hang out with Jack; I don't like that kid. Yeah, a lot of parents don't like "that kid," for whatever reason, but "the moment you tell your child that 'that kid' is not your favorite, he becomes more appealing," says Berman. Keep the lines of communication open between you two to hopefully spark discussion about values, right and wrong, and so on. "Ask your child some open-ended questions," says Berman. "Such as, 'What do you like about hanging out with Jack?' 'What do you guys do?'"
Don't D-I-Y10 of 11
That's not how you do it! Here, let me. You asked your child to help you with a task—but then she does a not-so-great job. It can be tough to hold yourself back from just jumping in and taking the task back, "but that's a mistake, because then she never learns how, and is less likely to try anything else you ask down the line," says Berman. If you must, then you can step in—but in a collaborative rather than dismissive way: "Here, let me show you a neat trick my mom taught me about folding towels!"
MORE: Renegade Parenting Rules
Spare The Compare11 of 11
Why can't you be more like your sister/brother? Siblings and rivalry go hand in hand—and anything you say that sets up comparisons only fuels that natural flame, says McCready. "Comparisons slot siblings into categories—the smart one, the athlete—and discourage kids from trying the thing their sibling is 'good' at." Try instead to encourage each child in whatever pursuits are "his" or "hers," while avoiding comparisons.

November 28, 2012 —
Sullivan County officials plan to seek the support of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) in attempting to amend the law that covers tax-exempt properties in the state.
At a meeting at the government center in Monticello on November 8, county treasurer Ira Cohen, who has done some preliminary work on a proposed amendment and who was seeking to establish a committee to finish the work, said a proposed amendment should be ready to be presented to the NYSAC legislative committee at the end of January or the beginning of February.
Cohen said that a recent case, called Ahavas Chaverim Gemilas Chesed, Inc. v. Town of Mamakating, which involved the former Camp Homowack, and which was decided at the appellate level on October 25, could have an impact on the county's effort.
A camp began operating at the site in 2009, changing the use of the property from a hotel to a girls' camp. The owners of the property said they were going to lease the camp to a religious corporation, and then would seek a tax exemption. The town denied the exemption, at least in part, because the camp had never sought the required special-use permit or variance to change the use from a hotel to a girls' camp.
The court agreed to a degree and in the opinion wrote, "The actual use of property in contravention of local laws can be a valid basis for denying an application for a tax exemption."
However, perhaps more significantly, the relevant law says that the tax-exempt property must be used "exclusively" for a religious purpose and, in this case, "Petitioner's application provided no details as to the religious aspect of that camp or any other religious use of the property." For those reasons, and others relating to health and building code violations, the court upheld the Mamakating assessor's denial of tax-exempt status.
Ironically, it is the phrase "exclusive use" in NY Real Property Law 402-a that Sullivan officials will seek to buttress, because in the past the courts have interpreted the phrase broadly. Sam Yasgur, the county attorney, said, "The real problem with 402-a is that the legislature said 'exclusive,' then the courts said, 'exclusive kind of means primary,' and then they said 'primary kind of means if they
have some connection.' So they have watered down one word."
Cohen added, "That's the approach I'm taking in rewriting the law, is to concentrate on making it clear, what 'exclusive use' means and doesn't mean." Pushing the amendment into law may not be easy. Whether or not the county is successful in gaining support from NYSAC, the amendment will need to be approved by the senate and the assembly, and then signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo. Attempts to change the law in the past have been blocked by the assembly.

Music to my ears
March 26, 2014 —
Having survived the flu and determined to join the real world once again, I had a spring in my step when Skytop Farm (www.skytopfarmny.com) manager Jen Franklin called to inform me that there were new foals to visit, so I slipped a CD in the player, put pedal to the metal and drove myself to the sprawling acreage that is home to the thoroughbred horses that call Skytop home. The breeding farm that boasts "around the clock care for your mare during and after her pregnancy" is a bucolic setting nestled in the hills above Roscoe, NY, and the two new colts were as precious as possible. "At this point, they're like giant puppies," Franklin explained. "They wag their stubby tails, follow you around and are a little goofy." With just a few days under their belts, the boys were nursing, napping and still a bit wobbly, but adorable doesn't even begin to describe. The mares allowed me to get pretty close, snap some pics and nibbled on the treats I gave them while keeping a sharp eye on their babies. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to usher in the first day of spring and with a song in my heart, I nuzzled with three-day-old "Paddy," waved my goodbyes and headed out, in search of adventure.

The Dane County Medical Examiner?s Office on Monday released the names of the four people killed in an apparent drunken-driving crash in Fitchburg on Saturday.
The victims were identified as Phankham Chitanavong, 17, of Rockford, Ill., Alan Michael Dickson, 25, of Rockford, Jose Antonio Cabrera-Hernandez, 18, of Madison, and Martin Sanchez-Gutierrez, 17, of Madison.
According to a news release issued by the Medical Examiner's Office, all four died from the traumatic injuries they received in the crash.
The single-vehicle crash happened in the 5000 block of Lacy Road shortly after 5 p.m. Police said five people were inside the vehicle, which was traveling eastbound on Lacy Road and failed to stop at Syene Road. The vehicle continued eastbound and went airborne while crossing railroad tracks. The driver lost control, struck a utility pole and over turned, police said.
Four of the five occupants were ejected from the vehicle. Three of the occupants were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Victor Benitez, 18, of Madison, was arrested in connection with the crash. Police said he fled and was arrested a few blocks away. He was tentatively charged with four counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle. Police said that Benitez could face more charges.
Fitchburg police said that they believe alcohol and speed appear to be a factor in the crash. They said appears that no one in the vehicle was wearing their safety belts.
Authorities said that the crash remains under investigation by the Fitchburg police and the Medical Examiner?s Office.

Before winter ends and spring blooms, be sure to squeeze in some fun wintertime activities perfect for enjoying quality time outdoors with friends and family. A couple of the most popular and well-known of these activities is sledding and snow tubing.
Similar to sledding, snow tubing has grown in popularity over the past few years, with some ski resorts offering slopes and hills specifically for the activity. Imagine yourself flying down a snowy hill, racing your friends or family members to the bottom, and taking in the scenic Michigan winter wonderland on your way back up to the top.
With snow tubing being one of the many activities featured in A Pure Michigan Winter, we compiled a list of just a few places to go tubing in Pure Michigan.
Do you have a favorite sledding or snow tubing hill that you want to share? Tell us in the comment section.

Snow Tubing at Timberlee Hills is the perfect way to spend the day in Traverse City this winter. Tubing at Timberlee is all the fun of sledding – without hiking back up the hill!

52 Weeks To Better Genealogy – Challenge #29 – Practice Reading Handwriting
This week's challenge is to "Practice reading handwriting. Deciphering the penmanship of our ancestors is an exercise in patience, but this is a great skill to have in your genealogy tool box".
This challenge couldn't have come at a better time.
Late last year, I obtained some Scottish Precognition Trial Papers for my ancestor Dennis McCormack who was convicted of assault in 1834 and in 1838 was sentenced to 7 years transportation to NSW again for assault. I have managed to transcribe the trial papers from the 1834 trial, though there were a number of words I haven't been able to work out and was half way through the papers from the second trial in 1838 but stopped half way through and I've telling myself to finish but something always comes up.
Both sets of papers have statements from the victim/s, witnesses, doctors, and police and from Dennis himself. All statements have been written by different persons, such as the police constables and doctors. The statements from each of the witness and victims were not written in their own hand, as they could not read or write, except in the case of one witness. So there is different handwriting to decipher.
The papers for 1834 are interesting in themselves, as the victim 'Helen Cooper' declares in a separate statement declares that she was unmarried but had lived with Dennis as his wife and that she had 'borne him three children' and had 'lived with him for 7 years'. Not knowing much about early Scottish history, it seems they were together from an young age, as from the descriptions Dennis was 'about 20'. Helen's age is not shown in the documents. I do think Dennis was actually born in Ireland as his convict record shows that he had a shamrock tattoo.
Summary from the 1834 papers is below:
AD 14/34/53 – July 1834:
- On the 20th July 1834, Dennis attacked Helen Cooper and Eliza Burnet. Eliza Burnet was living in the house of Helen Cooper. He attacked Eliza with a stick to the head about 2 times and Helen with a stick to the head 4 times and cut her head with a knife
- That Helen Cooper was about 22 years of age
- Dennis McCormick was aged about 20 years of age (though later records indicate that he was more likely 22)
- That Helen had lived with Dennis as his 'wife' for seven years and they had 3 children. This would make them around 14/15 when they began their relationship. No details of the children are recorded in the papers I have since done a search of the http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ for the possible births/baptisms of these three children have not been able to find any record of them.
- A Marion Iver aged between 9 & 10 was also living in the house. Her statement indicates that no one else was in the house.
- Dennis had been intoxicated and outraged when he attacked both women.
- Dennis was sentenced to 18 months at Bridewell Greenock.
It's now time to go back and finish transcribing the 1838 papers and then take another look at the 1834 papers to work out the words I couldn't previously decipher.

Hawaii's judiciary system is finding itself in a unique and difficult situation these days. There's a shortage of court interpreters statewide.
There's an immediate need for bilingual residents to work in the courts and the search is on for help.
Meaningful participation in your own trial is a civil right. That goes for even non-English speaking defendants.
But with Hawaii's diverse ethnic population, a lack of qualified interpreters in the court system is a case proving hard to solve.
It's a huge problem," said Debi Tulang deSilva, Hawaii state judiciary's court interpreter program director.
Right now there are 300 court interpreters employed with Hawaii's judiciary system covering 40 different languages, but there's a high demand for Chuukese, Ilokano, and Korean speaking interpreters.
Court interpreting requires a highly specialized skill in three different modes of interpreting -- consecutive, which is a question and answer format; simultaneous, which is talking at the same time the other language is being spoken; and written.
"The have to be able to interpret from a written document," said deSilva.
On top of having strong language and written skills, court interpreters are held to a higher standard.
"They have to have strong moral and strong ethical character," said deSilva.
"It's not easy at all," said court interpreter Suzanne Zeng. Zeng is a Chinese interpreter with more than 10 years working in Hawaii's courts.
"You have to think accuracy and how do you say a word or term or phrase in another language," said Zeng. "Sometimes we have to hold back tears ourselves. Other times we have to hold back anger. But, yes, you have to be very unbiased."
"Without that language interpreter or a poor interpreter for example, it's just too hard and (the defendant's) life might be at stake. So it's very important," said Zeng.
But Zeng will tell you the reward is always when justice is served.
Applications for court interpreters are being accepted up until Feb. 1. Salary ranges from $25 up to $50 an hour.
Click here for the Hawaii website for court interpreters and click here for an application form.
The following is the top three (high demand) languages needing court interpreting services in the Hawaii state courts (as determined by the number of case assignments in each language in Fiscal Year 2012):
First Judicial Circuit - Oahu
- Chuukese
- Ilokano
- Korean
Second Judicial Circuit - Maui
- Spanish
- Ilokano
- Tongan
Third Judicial Circuit - Hawaii
- Chuukese
- Marshallese
- Ilokano
Fifth Judicial Circuit - Kauai
- Marshallese
- Tagalog
- Ilokano

"There's something really interesting happening on this stage right now",
someone said to me as we stood at the front of a crowd enchanted by a Ming Wong performance best described as anime drag. Wong was dressed all in white—white tights, white knee high PVC boots, white corset boosting an ample bust, and white plastic shoulder pads: the kind American footballers wear. He wore a half mask with the facial features of an anime darling— large eyes painted like a blue sky and a tiny, button nose—and donned a pink wig cut into a blunt bob (not unlike Grace Jones's in that awesome, eighties movie, "Vamp"). He lip synched to songs that traversed the Canto-Western Pop divide, including a mash-up of Olivia Newton- John's 80s hit "Physical" with the theme tune to the classic Chinese TV series "Shanghai Bund." Then there was the transcendent rendition of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance".
Of course, this was just another night at Nadim Abbas's Absolut Art Bar, "Apocalypse Postponed": a cyberpunk bunker located on the 17th floor of the newly-opened Soundwill Plaza II–Midtown located in Causeway Bay, a notoriously dense and overpopulated section of Hong Kong. The location was perfect. Not yet renovated and thus still a grey concrete shell, the space was conceived by Abbas in collaboration with Sebastien Saint-Jean, with wall-to-wall sandbags framing metal-framed windows. A soundscape designed by Steve Hui filled the gaps in a performance programme co-curated by Xue Tan and Shane Aspergen, while a series of animations produced by Wong Ping added to the weird science fiction. In one four-screen installation, Wong Ping presented images that included a man humping a rice weevil (the rice weevil being one of the conceptual anchors for the project), a woman rope-bound and hanging from the ceiling, and a figure sitting alone in a room. In all, the project recalled an obvious reference: "Blade Runner," a movie that is often associated with Hong Kong's urban landscape, while referencing certain themes in Abbas's work—for one, the concept of the Otaku—the isolated cyber-obsessive who lives reclusively, finding company in a virtual world.
But far from being an isolated space, the bar quickly became the hottest ticket in town, thanks in part to the incredible line up of performers, which included Silver Apples and Paragon Soundsystem, and in part to the unique cocktails on offer (including CA+, a drink that completes when you drop in an effervescent, citrus-flavoured calcium tablet). On the night of Ming Wong's performance, there was a thirty-minute plus wait to get in, and a fight going on at the door. "I have never experienced such a thing and I manage large events. Never. Not even at the Oscars," one woman shouted as she tried to get her "CEO of a large French company" partner through the door. Later that evening, one curator posted on Facebook his apologies to Ming Wong that, even though he was "friends with Nadim," he couldn't see the performance because the line was—as everyone else called it that night—"crazy".
"I have never experienced such a thing and I manage large events. Never. Not even at the Oscars."
I'll be honest, I felt lucky to have made it to this. Having navigated the labyrinthine tunnels of the Causeway Bay MTR and after having swept both halls of Art Basel in Hong Kong, I had found myself lost that night in the very city Abbas's art bar showcases through the view from the 17th floor—an urban jungle if there ever was one: hot, humid, crowded and illuminated by neon lights. By the time I got to the bar—cool, spacious and strange—I was cursing art and all its infrastructures: a known symptom of art fair fatigue. Nevertheless, I arrived just as Ming Wong's transformed form—that anime goddess in drag—was being carried out to the stage by two mignons in full black bodysuits and black wigs. And as I watched the spectacle unfold, I suddenly found myself smiling like a child with eyes as wide as Sailor Moon's. Looking around at all the other delighted faces, I remembered something: even during an art fair, art can be fun. And this was definitely art.

Noted on twitter by a couple of sources now, including @tribjazz. It makes sense with the injuries to the Williams crew, and it'll be nice for Murphy to see his wife and son in Atlanta.

After the Jazz game last night I watched part of the Reno NBADL game. OUch, NBADL games are awfull.
Murphy looked good, played within himself and the game, didn't try to do too much, but he missed too many fts.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jazz have jumped the shark, and NBA has nuked the fridge.
Probably better than Foye....can we say that?
Good. I want to see this kid do well. Liked him in pre-season. Guess we'll see how this plays out.
You know squat. You know less than squat. You and Squat could go to the movies and Squat could wear an "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt!
Tyrone Corbin was running out of players to put in ahead of Burks.
He'll get spot minutes with Marvin out. Cool to see if he learned anything from the Bighorns.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
Why would the Jazz even need to pull him off the D-League lineup, unless they were planing on trying Foye at starting pg?
He's kind of redundant with Foye/Burks on the team. Oh well, maybe they are thinking he'll fill in for Hayward if he fills in for Marvin. But isn't that what Carrol is for?
I hope he gets some time. I also hope he develops an NBA game, but I haven't seen it yet.
Pretty sure he's just that guy on the bench for if anyone else gets hurt.
Might as well put 12 players on the active roster. It's either him or Bell.....So yea Murph it is.
Playoffs here we come. Pass the damn Kool-Aid

UVM employee pleads guilty to embezzlement
BURLINGTON — A former University of Vermont employee has pleaded guilty to embezzling from the Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese, where she provided administrative support.
Jody Farnham, 55, of Burlington, who co-wrote a book on cheesemaking, pleaded guilty Wednesday to embezzling at least $185,000 over six years ending in 2012, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Court documents say she was accused of altering tuition checks from enrollees in the cheesemaking program to make herself a co-payee and then depositing them in her bank account. She also stole some cash tuition payments and misused UVM credit cards for personal purchases, federal prosecutors said.
The embezzlement took place when UVM had received substantial amounts of federal funding, the U.S. attorney's office said. The case was investigated by UVM police and the FBI.
Farnham, who was released on conditions, faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 when she is sentenced in June.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

Associate Professor of Russian, Chair of Russian Department
I am currently researching the life and work of the famous 19th-century scholar Jernej Kopitar, focusing on his views on language; his relationships with Russian scholars and Slavic groups within the Habsburg Empire; and his place in European intellectual history. More generally, I am studying Romantic nationalism among Slavic artists and scholars in the first half of the 19th century, the often contentious interaction among the various Slavic peoples at this time, and the transition from Enlightenment to Romantic thought in Europe at the turn of the 19th century. I am also exploring a variety of topics in 19th century literature, as well as the history of the Slavic languages. Recent papers include "Venelin and the Slovenes" (Slovene Studies, 22/1-2); recent conference talks include "Clash of Worlds, Clash of Eras: Jernej Kopitar, the Russians, and Language" (27th Annual Conference of the North East American Society for 18th-Century Studies, November 8, 2003), and "Jernej Kopitar's Views of Education: Language and Enlightenment in the Slavic Renaissance" (35th National Convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, November 23, 2003).
I am active in the Society for Slovene Studies, and edit their news letter.

The Joys Of The Post-Season Media
So, did we all thoroughly enjoy the Phillies TBS TV coverage this post-season? No? Oh, come on now, they were mildly entertaining, right? Let us examine some of the broadcasting highlights:
– These guys are brilliant; just check out this quote about Raul Ibanez: "He's not 37 because he started his career late." Really? Wow…the true fountain of youth; late bloomers.
– On a 2-base hit: "It's an inside-the-park double." You know, as opposed to the out-of-the-park double.
– During Game 1 of the NLDS, 2nd inning: "There has been great defense in this ballgame and in this series." Yes, all 2 innings of it.
– About the catcher: "All the game calling is to make the pitcher comfortable." The catcher calls pitches to make the pitcher comfy? Not to get outs? Ok then. Genius. Sheer genius.
– During a bunt to the pitcher with a runner on first: "He is thinking about second base because it is right behind the mound." Is it? I never would have noticed…thanks, TBS! Baseball geography lesson 101.
– On Clayton Kershaw after he gave up a 3-run homer, allowed to 2 more runners on base and was then pitching to Ryan Howard: "This is a grow-up moment (for Kershaw)." No more little league for you buddy!
But wait, there's more! Did you see the main sponsor for TBS during commercial breaks? Avocados. Yes, the disgusting, slimy, green fruit is THE big money maker for this station. Awesome.
And how about the commercials for the new TBS series "Men of a Certain Age." It is October – this series is set to begin in December. Not only will we have forgotten about it by December, but with the thousands of previews shown, we have already seen the series in its entirety. No need to tune in then in December….we already know that Ray Romano plays a moron with a dirty mind; Scott Bakula is a man-sl*ut; and Andre Braugher is sad because he cannot live up to his daddy's high expectations. Think that about covers it.
So how about some media video highlights! Here ya go; let us begin with Buck Martinez, who has NO idea which team he is watching…he mentions the Yanks and the Red Sox before he figures out it is the Phillies:
Chase Utley is also annoyed with the media coverage…watch his reaction as a media member pulls a Kanye West:
And my favorite clip of the Comcast Sportsnet coverage…Ricky Botallico flips out during the Jimmy Rollins 9th inning game winning hit in Game 4 of the NLCS:
Hope you all enjoyed these broadcasts as much as I did :O)
By the way, if anyone is looking to sell a ticket (1) to Game 3 of the World Series (the Saturday game, home opener), please email me. I cannot afford the Stub Hub prices so I am looking for anyone to take pity on me and sell me a ticket at face value or just above it. I cannot do standing room, but am open to other seating arrangements. Thank you and Go Phillies! :O)
11 Comments
Congrats to your Phillies again. I hope you get your tickets, but if and when you do get your tickets please post the pics. Go Phi-Lee! Also, Go Angles! Beat those Yanks! I don't want to see C.C vs Lee. (only in Cleveland!) Congrats and Good luck!
I missed the "Yank" syllable in Martinez's postgame commentary. It's like a mother with multiple children and a dog – wants one and just starts calling names until she gets the right one.
Did you hear Chip Caray's pep talk to the Dodger nation at 9-3 – along the lines of "all (we) need is a few baserunners, some extra base hits and a couple of long balls to get back into it."
And what about the Lopez Late Night party? Surely you're counting the days. It's gotta be the greatest thing since Frank TV. Very funny!
from dadlak aka Dave
Oh God, the avocados! I mean, I like guacamole, but who actually puts them on burgers and hotdogs, as they mention in one of the commercials?? Eww. Must be a California thing.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Haha! Awesome stuff. Tip of the cap to you for puttin' it all in one place. Best of luck to your boyz in the World Series. They have the chance to become EPIC.
I liked the subway commercial we had here in between innings, with Ryan Howard, they showed a score board where its LA 5 Phillies 0….too funny
So now its off to hopefully get the back to back status of world series champions…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Love this post! The only thing I disagree with is avocados. Yum. Maybe Sue is right and it's a California thing!
LMAO!! that is one of the best things chase has said except the world series speech last year!! that was priceless!!
Jenn, congrats to the Phillies! And…[sarcasm] what, you don't enjoy watching a "pro" like Buck Martinez at work? [/end sarcasm] BTW, I love avocados, and I'm not even from California.🙂 Oh, and this is belated, but congrats on your #8 season ranking!
Shelley http://diamonddiva.mlblogs.com/
Got to love the TBS/Fox announcers – NOT!! At least they entertain us by being so miserable.
I hadn't seen the Ricky Botallico flip out, that's great!
OK, I like avocados, but on hot dogs? BLECH! That commercial made be retch a little. At least it was a break from the insipid Citizen Bank commercial music or dumb Geico commercials!

Hi there, I'm trying to increase my milk supply.
I am in the middle of a transition from one lactation consultant to another and would like some advice if you can offer it in the meantime.
First the history:
My son was born September 10 (that makes him just two months old). He was premature (born at 35.3 weeks) and had trouble latching and sucking at the beginning. He has since learned to do so, between offering him the breast at every feeding and topping off with the bottle/formula. Between the breast and bottle, he is gaining well and is very healthy. His latch has improved although he tends not to open his mouth very wide and his tongue doesn't always go or stay down.
I have thyroid disease and polycystic ovarian disease. All these factors have probably contributed to the low milk supply. I am taking Domperidone, 20mg X4 a day and have gone from 15ml a breast to 30 ml a breast since then.
I have tried the SNS and when it works it is great, but I find it to be a hit and miss and it has become too frustrating (for me and baby) to continue. It is a good idea in theory though if I could make it work.
I'm offering the breast 9-10 times a day. Breastfeeding, plus bottle feeding and then pumping takes me 45-60 minutes total everytime. If I manage to feed 10 times a day, then this is every 2 hours from when I started the last feed. Should I keep pumping after every feed? I always find I feel less full at the next feed when I pump. I'm pumping for 15 minutes after the feed. Should I cut back the time?
Another question: how long is let down, typically? How long before I am supposed to feel full again after a feeding and pumping?
And... if baby only eats 9 times instead of 10, and I pump to remove milk, should this be considered one of the 10 times I log or should I offer the breast one more time? I mean, if baby missed a feeding because he wasn't hungry, I don't suppose offering the breast again will help...
Oh! And how long between feedings is considered the next feeding?
Thanks in advance
