text: So we are getting much better at breastfeeding as of yesterday, my DD is 11 days old. Question, LC said to empty one breast before going to the next one vs what the hospital said about doing 10-15 mins on each breast. Question is, when she only takes one breast, the second can not be emptied for a few hours and it gets hard/full. Is this OK? Should I had express a bit? I don't want to get clogged ducts, etc. Thanks for your help!!

Increasing price target from 815p to 835p
08 Dec 16
Following our 2 November 2016 note "The valuation genie is out of the bottle", a great deal of new information has been disclosed about MPE (particularly on the non-core assets), while the company has re-based the dividend, announced a special dividend and announced the sale of major associate PT Agro Muko for US$100m. We now take all this new information into account and update our forecasts accordingly. As a result, we are increasing our price target from 815p/share to 835p/share.
New packing facility; Highly significant for underpinning future growth
06 Dec 16
HFG has announced plans to expand its packing capability in Australia, by constructing (at an expected investment cost of A$115m financed through bank facilities) a new meat processing facility in Queensland, in order to supply Woolworths, the leading grocery retailer in Australia. This is a highly significant development as the new Queensland plant, alongside HFG's two existing dedicated retail packed meat facilities in Melbourne and Bunbury (both operated as a joint venture with Woolworths) should mean that HFG supplies the bulk of Woolworth's c.1,000 stores with their red meat needs over time. In short, this development should underpin growth at HFG for many years to come from 2020 onwards, which, in turn, should result in a higher and more stable earnings stream over time, supporting a continued rerating of HFG's valuation multiple, in our view. We reiterate our BUY.

Using their loaf
30 Nov 16
Finsbury Foods has been transformed by a series of acquisitions that has contributed to revenue and earnings nearly doubling over the last three years. Record levels of capital investment continue to improve the Group's competitive position, whilst exposure to growth segments of the food market is helping likefor-likes. Profit growth is expected to slow in the current year in the absence of acquisitions but underlying trading remains resilient despite some cost headwinds, whilst debt reduction is accelerating. The rating is undemanding and the recent share price weakness has created a buying opportunity.
Joy of Techs
21 Nov 16
ICT evolution is driven by technological development as advances are made which both meet and shape customer requirements. Our 2011 note No such thing as a telco described the modern reality in that former 'telcos' now deliver varying elements of a range of managed services. We built on this theme last year, exploring in further detail their evolutionary paths, operating fundamentals, and cashflow yield similarities. In the consumer environment, demand for bundles of technology is complemented by demand for content. Across the pond, the mooted combination of AT&T and Time Warner typifies the bundled need of 'pipe' and content, since unbundled alternatives such as FaceTime and WhatsApp can be easier and clearer to chat over, and Amazon and Netflix are easier to watch anywhere. In the UK, BT's defensive actions cover delivery, content and capabilities, acquiring EE yet also buying football rights. While TV was long ago added to triple play to become quad play, voice is now merely an app, and fixed and mobile seen as just dumb pipes: it's the content that will influence consumer choices. Growth of TV and film as well as music and gaming over IP leads to UK small cap opportunities. In context of the drive to maximise value from pipes and access by offering content and data, we look at some amongst the potential tech small cap beneficiaries: Amino*, Keyword Studios, ZOO Digital*, 7digital*, KCOM* and CityFibre*.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
A creative person must have a vivid imagination that is free to create without constraint. When you are imagining things, you do not need to be bound by the laws of physics or other rules that govern our normal lives. Set yourself free to explore what you could do under any circumstances. If you come up with a fruitful idea you might be able to modify it to work in reality.
To spark some interesting ideas you could ask yourself some "What if?" questions that break a rule. For example, you could ask yourself how you would solve the problem if you had the strength of Superman. Or, you could ask, "What if cost were not a factor?"
Another important aspect of imagination is to use all of your senses. We already know that using all of your senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) can help you make long lasting memories. Your senses can also be used to enhance creativity. If you think only verbally, then your solutions will be predominantly verbal. Try to imagine smells, sounds and textures when you are thinking about a problem.
It is very important that people be challenged by a project if they want to have a high likelihood of coming up with creative solutions. Without a challenge, the process is no longer rewarding and the incentive to innovate is not there. If you find yourself in a situation where a project seems too easy, try to find some way to spice it up. Maybe you could find a new way to do it that makes it challenging. Try to add some new element to the project that makes it interesting.
Deferring judgment is an important rule for brainstorming sessions, and it's just as important for working with your own ideas. If you judge an idea too quickly, you will reject many ideas that have real potential. Early ideas are easy to reject because they are imperfect, but they can be improved and embellished. Sometimes the best ideas come from combining parts of several imperfect ideas.
If you feel yourself jumping to judge or reject an idea (either your idea or someone else's idea), take a moment and allow yourself to recognize that not all ideas spring forth from the mind in perfect order.
Icebreakers are little exercises that help relax tensions and loosen up a formal atmosphere in a meeting where you want to have creative ideas and group participation.
Everyone stands up and one person is chosen to start. This person asks a question like, "If you have a pet dog, sit down." Some people will sit down and some people will remain standing. The person then asks another question and more people sit down. When there is only one person left standing, it becomes his or her turn to lead the game. This is a fun way to get to know people and create a team atmosphere.
Start carrying a small notebook and pen in your pocket and whenever you have an idea, write it down. Try not to censor your silly ideas, because it's the silly ideas that frequently have a nugget of genius buried inside. If you are diligent about doing this for a few days, you'll be amazed at how many ideas you have every day that you forget because you never capture them on paper. From time to time you can go back and review your ideas to find the good ones. Pretty soon, you'll have more ideas than you know what to do with.

Patterning the World: Connecting Mathematics and Science
Spring 2014 quarter
Taught by
This program repeats the content of Patterning the World offered winter quarter. Students who take the winter quarter program may not sign up for the spring repeat program.
This introductory program integrates mathematics and physics through hands-on, applied, and collaborative work. We particularly invite students who are interested in future studies in introductory science, but are uncertain of their mathematical skills or have had challenging experiences with math in the past and want to create positive ones. We also welcome students who are interested in science as part of their broad liberal arts education. We aim to develop a supportive, hard-working, and playful community of learners who gain practice in some of the ways that scientists make sense of the natural and human-created worlds.
One way that people make sense of their world is by producing patterns . We approach the study of patterns from two complementary points of view: the discovery of patterns and the generation of patterns. We will study mathematics as a language of patterns that unifies these viewpoints. As students discover and generate patterns in lab and workshop, we will develop and identify mathematical structures that describe and help make sense of those patterns. We will use computing to develop and play with mathematical models, generating patterns that we can observe and compare with physical phenomena, enjoy for their beauty, and that can lead to surprising behavior and forms.
We will spend significant time in collaborative science and math labs and workshops, where we will question, experiment, observe, estimate, measure, describe, compute, model, read, interpret, abstract, conjecture, discuss, convince, and most of all, create.
Students will have the opportunity to improve their capacities as quantitatively and scientifically literate citizens, including reading and creating scientific texts, solving theoretical and applied problems, and communicating creatively and effectively. Students will develop and demonstrate their learning through in-class work, homework assignments, papers, and quizzes. Students who successfully complete this program will have covered the equivalent of one quarter of math (college algebra or pre-calculus) and physics (conceptual or algebra-based), and will be prepared for further introductory science programs such as Computer Science Foundations, Introduction to Natural Science, or Models of Motion.

The Best Engagement Anniversary DIY Gifts
Yeeks! What have I been doing to cause such a huuuge gap between my first post of the year and this? Oh, you know, nothing much, just: preparing for my Taiwan wedding photoshoot, flying there, being there, coming home, attending a 3-day dance workshop, helping with house-cleaning for Chinese New Year, celebrating Chinese New Year… and KAZAAM!! I haven't been blogging proper for a few weeks!
On account of my tight-like-my-pants-because-I've-been-eating-too-much schedule, excuse me okie? 😀
You can follow me on Instagram (@bunbunmakeuptips) and more recently, Dayre (@bunbunmakeuptips), for more frequent updates, but my blog is a platform I shall never forsake. So stay with me!
Mr Mode and I spent 1 January 2014 at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. We haven't been here for AGES! I don't think we've even been to Botanic Gardens together before. It was just so out of the way for us North-Easteners.
The Circle Line has brought about so much convenience. We alighted at — wait for it — Botanic Gardens station and taa-daa >> Botanic Gardens!
It was a combination of a cool breeze and a slight overcast that made the stroll so peaceful and enjoyable.
Cooling weather = Happy Mr Mode
Hot weather = Super Pek Cek On-Fire JEEBABOOMZ Mr Mode
I'd like to say romantic things like 'Being together was all that mattered' and 'No bad weather could dampen our spirits', but the reality is that the Mister is a 24/7 angry polar bear. HAHAHA!!
Since when did Botanic Gardens become so beautiful? Should have taken more pictures of the flora and fauna.

At CoffeeCakes.com, we encourage you to take time from your busy day to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Enjoying a cup of tea daily can help you relax, rewind, and benefit your overall health and well being.
Even before tea, people have been making use of herbs and spices to cure everyday ailments and boost the immune system. Many popular and well-known herbal teas host a variety of health benefits, for instance mint, hibiscus, chamomile, rooibos, lavender, licorice, and many others. If you're a tea lover, you'll be interested to know that tea goes way beyond pleasurable aromatherapy and taste. The benefits of teas and herbal infusions vary depending on which variety you choose. Knowing a little bit about the properties of each will help choose the right tea for the right occasion so you'll sleep better, digest your food more efficiently, relax, and get energized.
Here are a few well-known varieties of tea:
De-Stress your day with a calming cup of Rosebud tea. You can enjoy the sweet aroma and soothe away all stress and strain. If you need a pick-me-up, Rosebud tea is also believed to have anti-depressant and anti-anxiety properties as well. Other benefits include improved blood circulation, improved skin tone and skin nourishment as well.
Ginseng root makes for a delicious tea that's both palatable and nourishing. The leaves are sweetish, with a slight aromatic, warm pungency. The roots are supposed to have aphrodisiac virtues, and have been long regarded by many as an excellent restorative for both the body and mind.
Give yourself a powerful immunity boost with Hibiscus tea. Rich in Vitamin C, Hibiscus and has been used to fight fevers and infections, as well as ward off mild colds and sickness. A few cups of Hibiscus tea and you'll decrease your chances of catching a cold this winter!
If you do catch a cold, Lemongrass tea is a great natural remedy. Traditionally used to help relieve coughs and nasal congestion, Lemongrass will relieve minor cold symptoms and comfort you while you recover.
Many people have trouble sleeping these days, and one easy natural remedy is Lavender or Chamomile tea. Encourage restful sleep with a cup or two before bedtime—both Lavender and Chamomile are very soothing and comforting. Lavender has long been used as an herb to encourage restful sleep, and is effective as a drink, body lotion, and potpourri. Chamomile tea is also very thirst quenching and delicious cold in iced tea glasses.
After a big meal, consider drinking a cup of Peppermint Tea as it'll aid in digestion. It's a minty, refreshing drink that is highly satisfying both hot in ceramic tea cups and cold in iced tea glasses.
Experiment with different blends and varieties of teas and come up with your own herbal combinations to best serve your mood or provide the desired medicinal effects. Discover a blend that gives you the relaxation, pick me up, or health benefits that you want!

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Did shikaku and the others die,bcos kishi has not said anything else about dem and shikamaru has also refused to comment
They obviously are . . .
dead most definitely.
May be dead
Yes...the chapter 613 is when they die. On the final page in bold it says, "Shikaku and the others die!"
Also note that just before Naruto holds Hinata's hand () he has that, "its not just me....up until now" moment where Shikaku and Inoichi appear with Chiyo, Kushina, Hiruzen, Minato, Itachi, Nagato and Jiraiya. Not how many of them gave heroic sacrifices....all of them. It further implies they died ^.^
That and Shikamaru and Ino's faces along with Madara's, "that took long enough" comment!
yeah i'm going with dead.... none of them were fast enough to escape a blast on that scale
too bad minato wasn't around to save everyone.... again
People will only on grievances for 2 and half days before they turned to Sakukaka or hanuruto issues or something.
Shuldnt shikaku and d likes of inoichi and d others have a way of being able to protect themselves.they are high level ninjas(aren't they)
actually they said somthing about blocking then never really stated what happened ^^
ya think so

minato can't do a sh1t to 10tails TBB he would turn into ashes with rest of the villagers most likely.. before you say anything.. 9tail tbb and 10tbb are 2 VERY different things. like sharingan and rinnegan.
Don't say. Read 613.
yup, the definitely died

Denmark and Switzerland are the happiest places on earth while Zimbabwe and Burundi come dead last. Mr. White avoided North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and a few others for somewhat obvious reasons.
Mr. White's methods were based on health levels, education, and prosperity. While this does ignore "environmental" issues I feel Mr. White's results are more realistic than the "World Happiness Index" which had Saudi Arabia as a happier place than the United States and said Catholicgauze was as happy as Cambodia.
Now for the second part of the post...
The map (be sure to take a look at THE MAP in PDF) will be published in the a psychology journal and will also be presented at a conference this year. It has been featured by many news organizations. Why am I making a big deal about this? Because the cartographer, the journal, the BBC, and every other internet source which covered it (I did searches) included other geography blogs have yet to notice and mention the horrible cartographic mistakes on the map! For instance:
- Yugoslavia is back in full
- Yemen is two countries again (the joined up in 1990)
- Eritrea is shown as part of Ethiopia
- East Timor is part of Indonesia
- West Bank is shown as part of Jordan (which disavowed any claim in the mid-1990s to help setup a Palestinian State)
Several big errors noticed by no one! If anyone can find anyone else pointing these errors out let me know, but I have been unable to find anyone else in the know. The fact that these errors got past so many editors from so many organizations just shows how widespread geographic illiteracy is. In the cutthroat world of academia or the business world an incident like this could prove to be very counter productive and embarrassing. All the more reason for cartographers and geographers to be part of any group.

Xian Chen and his wife, Ying, opened the Shanghai Chinese Restaraunt in February 1996. It began as a tiny space in downtown Bristol, seating no more than 25 at a time. The Chens, along with their three young children, worked hard to create the friendliest space and serve the tastiest dishes. Through the years, the restaurant has been voted the best Chinese restaurant in Bristol.
A decade and a half later, the Shanghai Chinese Restaurant has expanded both their space and offerings. While we can seat more than a hundred now, it remains our promise to maintain the friendly, familiar atmosphere. We are big enough to serve you and small enough to know you!
Our extensive menu has something for everyone. We have the expected (Kung Pao Chicken, Peking Duck, Sweet & Sour Pork), and we have the exotic (Ant Climb the Tree, Dragon and Phoenix, Four Treasures). Newer additions include Steamed Flounder in Chinese White Wine and Ginger, and an array of Viet-Thai dishes, including Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and Tom Kha Kai. At the Shanghai Restaurant, we are always exploring new roads of cuisine as we strive to bring the best flavors to Bristol.
Hours: Tuesday - Sunday: 11:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Buffet: Tuesday - Sunday: 11:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., and Thursday -Saturday 4:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Much in the way Billy Preston was referred to by many as "the fifth Beatle," T Bone Burnett has more than earned the same sort of distinction because of his fruitful working relationship with filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen.
In fact, in a recent interview with Burnett in conjunction with the release of "Inside Llewyn Davis," I asked the legendary music producer if I could refer to him as "the third Coen brother," and he was more than OK with the distinction.
"I hope they'll adopt me eventually," Burnett told me, laughing. "I've always felt a real kinship with them, really from the first time I saw one of their films. I like their films so much that I actually called them up. We had friends in common and things like that, but I guess you could say this was a fan phone call to them. We talked films and turned into friends from there."
The first thing Burnett, 65, said he realized in talking with them was that they have the same sort of sensibilities as writers and directors, as he has as a songwriter and producer.
"I could tell they approached storytelling the exact same way I did from their first movie," Burnett said.
Now playing in limited release and expanding to more theaters Friday, "Inside Llewyn Davis" tells the story of the title character (Oscar Isaac), a struggling folk musician and songwriter in New York's Greenwich Village a short time before Bob Dylan changed the face of music in 1961.
Burnett's music-supervisor duties on the film marks the fourth time he's worked with the Coens, and it's easily the most extensive project he's done with them since "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" in 2000.
Much like his previous collaborations with the Coens, Burnett, who also co-wrote some music for "Llewyn Davis," was treated like a creative partner on the film. After all, much of the film is essentially told through song, with live performances by Isaac, co-stars Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan, and others -- so Burnett was happy to be intimately involved with the production.
"They're incredibly generous and inclusive people," Burnett explained. "Generosity is the hallmark of an artist, and they are the soul of generosity. While it's three-way collaboration, I have to say they're incredibly good at music, too. I'm just their facilitator. They have beautiful tastes and come up with incredible ideas, so I value them. I can't do it without them, I can tell you that. While the music is part of the film, the film is part of the music. They can't exist without each other."
While "Inside Llewyn Davis" includes songs of the era, it also includes a new, original tune, "Please Mr. Kennedy" -- a swinging, folksy tune performed by Isaac, Timberlake and Adam Driver in the film. A satirical ditty about America's entry into the space race, the song pegs John Glenn as a reluctant astronaut before being sent into orbit.
"The song has a lot of history in it; it has Ogden Nash-style lyrics, John Glenn and John Kennedy," Burnett explained. "There's an old song from the '60s, 'Please Mr. Kennedy,' that says, 'Don't send me off to Vietnam.' That was the initial impetus of the song."
While the success of "Inside Llewyn Davis" is unfolding -- the film has already received top nominations from the Film Independent Spirit Awards, the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Golden Globes, among many others -- Burnett said he can see another collaboration with the Coens in his future because there are just too many ideas in their minds that haven't been tapped into yet.
In turn, Burnett hopes the brothers tap into his subconscious ideas, too, because deep down, he always wants bring something new and exciting to the fore.
"You're only as good as the other people in your community, so the idea is that we all try to lift each other up," Burnett said, humbly. "Certainly, the Coens hold everybody up, including themselves, to the highest standards. It's like how if you play tennis, you play with better people because you want to play better."
T Bone Burnett finds perfect rhythm with Coen brothers on 'Inside Llewyn Davis'
Project marks fourth collaboration between legendary music producer, filmmakers
Much in the way Billy Preston was referred to by many as "the fifth Beatle," T Bone Burnett has more than earned the same sort of distinction because of his fruitful working relationship with filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen.

Undergraduate Research in Civic Intelligence
Fall 2013, Winter 2014 and Spring 2014 quarters
Taught by
This learning opportunity requires considerable initiative and motivation and students will work with considerable autonomy. The opportunity is designed to allow students of various knowledge and skill levels to work with students, faculty, and others inside and beyond Evergreen who are engaged in real-world research and action in actual and potential projects. The program will help students develop important skills in organizational and workshop design, collaboration, analysis and interpretation, written and oral communication, and critical thinking skills. We also expect to focus on the development of online services, information, and tools, including civic engagement games and online deliberation.
Civic intelligence attempts to understand how "smart" a society is in addressing the issues before it and to think about – and initiate – practices that improve this capacity. It is a cross-cutting area of inquiry that includes the sciences – social and otherwise – as well as the humanities. Visual art, music, and stories, are as critical to our enterprise as the ability to analyze and theorize about social and environmental issues.
Although there are many ways to engage in this research, all work will directly or indirectly support the work of the Civic Intelligence Research and Action Laboratory (CIRAL). These opportunities will generally fall under the heading of "home office" or "field" work. The home office work will generally focus on developing the capacities of the CIRAL lab, including engaging in research, media work, or tech development that will support the community partnerships. The field work component will consist of direct collaboration outside the classroom, often on an ongoing basis. Students working within this learning opportunity will generally work with one or two of the clusters of topics and activities developed by previous and current students. The first content clusters that were developed were (1) CIRAL vs. homelessness; (2) environment and energy; and (3) food. In addition to a general home office focus cluster on institutionalizing CIRAL, another focused on media and online support.
We are also hoping to support students who are interested in the development of online support for civic intelligence, particularly CIRAL. This includes the development of ongoing projects such as e-Liberate, a web-based tool that supports online meetings using Roberts Rules of Order, and Activist Mirror, a civic engagement game, as well as the requirements gathering and development of new capabilities for information interchange and collaboration.
Normally students taking this option will have worked with Doug Schuler previously or are otherwise familiar with CIRAL and the idea of civic intelligence. Students who are interested in type of work and have not met those informal requirements are encouraged to take the Social Innovation and Civic Intelligence program in 2013-14.

Graduates Forge Their Own Path
Jon Kolman, 19,
Graduated: Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy
Next Up: Working full-time on his startup companies
Bucking the Trend
Kolman made his first splash in the business world at age 16 when he created an app that made it possible for older versions of the iPhone to use Siri, an interactive voice system that's featured on the iPhone 4S and subsequent models.
After posting the app for $10 a download on an online store called Fibia, he said, he went on to make a profit of about $80,000 in one summer.
Though GlideWithUs is still in a testing phase, Kolman's second start-up, FlockWithMe, has already taken off.
Since Kolman has devoted so much time to these fledgling businesses, he said, it seemed natural to break from tradition and pursue them full-time after high school.
"I really like building stuff that people use," Kolman explained. "I think Glide has the potential to connect people who would never have been able to meet."
Kolman said that while his family and friends weren't always supportive of his decision not to go to college, they have slowly come around as he continued to garner success.
"I'm learning through doing, which I think is the best way to learn," Kolman said. "Instead of going to college and learning how to write a business plan, I'm running an actual company and learning what investors care about — how to build a sustainable business around my vision, which you can only learn through experience."
Hannah Feldman, 21, Philadelphia
Graduated: University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in religious studies
Next Up: Volunteer and study abroad programs
Patriotic PursuitsHannah Feldman has a three-year plan that she hopes will culminate in joining the U.S. Navy. Along the way, she's aiming to organize stops in an AmeriCorps program and a religious studies seminary in Israel.
"I value structure," Feldman said, noting that this is a large part of why she's attracted to the Navy.
Though she intends the Navy to be her final destination, Feldman first wants to apply to AmeriCorps, with the goal of volunteering for something like Habitat for Humanity. That experience, she said, will allow her to travel to new places outside of Philadelphia, where she has lived for almost her entire life, while still being surrounded by a structured environment.
After hitting on the idea of AmeriCorps, Feldman decided to add a year in Israel to her itinerary.
"I didn't grow up in a Zionist family and Israel was never super-important to me in terms of my Judaism," Feldman said, so this will provide an opportunity to explore her spirituality and beliefs.
Feldman said her parents have generally approved of her three-part plan — though her mother worries that she'll end up wanting to stay in Israel.
"Yeah, go, but please come back," her mom, Ellen Chapman, said. "I have concerns, but not in her ability to make decisions and figure out who she is and what she wants to do."
The Navy hopeful already experienced a period of independence and challenge during college when she traveled abroad to Kyrgyzstan, a small, predominantly Islamic country in Central Asia.
"It was similar to any study abroad experience — you learn some things, travel," Feldman said.
While in Kyrgyzstan, Feldman connected with the local Chabad center, which she credits for motivating her to become more active with Jewish life when she returned to the University of Pennsylvania campus.
As for her desire to join the Navy, Feldman said, she surprised herself as much as anyone.
"Honestly, I don't even remember what flipped that switch, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense for me," Feldman said, adding that the Navy will also be a chance to foster her burgeoning sense of patriotism.
"I believe that there are civic responsibilities that we all have as citizens," Feldman said. "I don't believe that joining the armed forces is a requirement, but it's something that I think is meaningful and will be good for me."
Tamara Cohen, 42, Mount Airy
Graduated: Reconstructionist
Next Up: Director of Innovations at Moving Traditions
Off to Innovate
Tamara Cohen, a 2014 Reconstructionist Rabbinical College graduate, is on a mission to effect change in the Jewish world.
Nick Renner, 28,
Graduated: Reconstructionist
Next Up: Assistant rabbi at Kehillat Israel in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Rockin' Rabbi
When Nick Renner heads out West to become the assistant rabbi for Kehillat Israel, he will bring a special skill beyond the spiritual guidance he learned to impart at Reconstructionist Rabbinical College — rock 'n' roll guitar playing.

:hug I was thinking about your posts all weekend while I was out of town, and have just a couple thoughts. Have you experimented with different nursing positions? When my daughter wouldn't latch well, my midwife kept trying to get me to hold her in the football hold (I don't remember why). But DD just flat-out would not nurse in that position and would just cry. I couldn't latch her in the cradle or side-lying positions, either, and my midwife brushed off biological nurturing, too (which I'm SOOO mad about in retrospect). I could only latch DD in the cross cradle hold on a My Brest Friend, wiggling the nipple into her itty bitty mouth which she refused to open more than a centimeter. We did this for about 10 weeks until she relaxed, let me hold her more naturally, and opened her mouth a little bigger (still not great in that department, though).
I remembered there is a picture in the new Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (p. 278) of a mom bottle feeding her baby with the bottle tucked under her arm and holding the baby in the cradle hold, mimicking breastfeeding. The point, I think, is it is a way to help babies accept a bottle. I wonder if it would work in reverse? Like, try a bottle in this position, and then maybe move your LO over to the breast when he's had a little milk and is calm. You could try massaging your breast while he's at the bottle to get the milk all ready to go when you move him over. ???
Many hugs. The other posters are so right, it's totally worth it in the end. It's impossible to have an emotional connection with a pump and a can of formula. For weeks on end, I told myself "you can do this one more time, just one more." I'm so glad I stuck with it. And if, after all, you do end up not nursing, at least you'll know you did everything you could for your baby and yourself.

Not only is today a great day for America, but the entire football world. What began when the owners opted out of the last CBA back in 2008 ends today when the lockout is lifted thanks to the owners and players agreeing to a new CBA. You make take this moment to high five the nearest person.
Players, owners agree to new CBA … pending an approval by the players vote on Monday, although that is considered a formality at this point. The players will participate in a conference call scheduled for 11am ET and the vote is expected to take place when the executive committee is in place. What happens after that has been widely contested. Some, including Jay Glazer, report that facilities can open as early as Tuesday, with trades and draft pick signings occurring as early on Tuesday, and unrestricted free agency beginning Friday at 6pm ET.

Sun Life Financial donates $250,000 to Lauriers innovative movement disorders research
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Sep 17/09| For Immediate Release
Dr. Quincy Almeida, Director
Kevin Crowley, Associate Director, News and Editorial Services
WATERLOO For hundreds of patients suffering from the degeneration caused by Parkinsons disease, Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Movement Disorders Research & Rehabilitation Centre is a haven of hope. The first of its kind in Canada, the centre has quickly become a leading authority on recommendations related to exercise rehabilitation for those affected by movement disorders in Canada.
Sun Life Financial has championed this important research through its generous donation of $250,000 to the newly named Sun Life Financial Movement Disorders Research & Rehabilitation Centre (MDRC). To pay tribute to Sun Life Financial for its substantial gift, a celebration event will be held Monday, Sept. 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the front lawn of the MDRC, located at 66 Hickory St. W., Waterloo.
The event will include a talk from the centres award-winning director, Dr. Quincy Almeida, who will highlight some of the MDRCs ongoing successes. As well, Connie Gilbert, one of the centres patients, will speak of the critical role the centre has played in her battle against Parkinsons disease. Dean Connor, president, Sun Life Financial Canada, will present a cheque for $250,000.

Workers from across Sullivan County and the Hudson Valley took part in a Flag Day rally for American workers in Monticello, New York.
The rally was organized by the Hudson Area Labor Federation, which said the events "was held in solidarity with the middle class workers threatened by corporate greed and economic instability."
Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther said, "As the daughter of a union member and a former union member myself, I understand the daily struggle that middle class families are facing. There's something wrong when corporations are making record profits, but working class families can't make ends meet. There's something wrong when the wealthiest get tax breaks, and the working class bears the brunt. Every union member standing in Monticello today is standing up for their future and their children's futures, and I stand with them here in the district and in Albany."
Thompson supervisor Tony Cellini said, "The town board passed a resolution recently supporting the rights of labor and the protections of collective bargaining. We were recognizing the strong middle class and want to ensure that the US remains a strong economic engine by allowing workers to negotiate for better conditions and pay. We elected officials work to create jobs, but we need you to do the jobs."
"The war on workers has spread to New York State. The Governor is threatening to layoff 9,800 state workers so that we can reduce taxes on millionaires. Today we rally in solidarity with the middle class families under attack," said Elizabeth Soto, Director of the federation.
"The attacks on firefighters, police officers, corrections officers and teachers are attacks on the American middle class disguised as attacks on organized labor. Today we say, 'enough is enough!'" said Sandy Shaddock, business agent for Teamsters Local 445, which represents hundreds of people who work for the Sullivan County Government.
"I am sick and tired of the politicians blaming the middle class. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, that has been the way of the world for awhile. It is time for working men and women, who make the wealth of the rich possible, to take their world back!" said Gene Benson, President for the Fallsburg CSEA Unit.
"The Hudson Catskill Central Labor Council stands with workers from Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey, and throughout New York State. We also stand in support of the workers of Sullivan County. It is time to challenge the legislators of Sullivan County, to find out if they stand with us," said John O'Malley, President of the Hudson Catskill Central Labor Council.
"Today on Flag Day we will exercise our patriotism and rally in support of workers and the middle class. We will get the truth out about Sullivan County workers who have made salary sacrifices by choosing the public sector. We will not permit the largest group of union members in the county to be attacked by unimaginative decision makers in their hope to cripple and destroy the trade union movement locally," said Sandra Oxford, UFCW Local 888 Representative.
Founded in 2001, the Hudson Valley Area Labor Federation represents 113,000 union families across seven counties: Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster. Our goal, working with our partner Central Labor Councils (CLCs), is to lay the foundations for a more visible and bold labor movement that reflects the hopes and dreams of working families in the Hudson Valley.

Fun on the Farm takes you on a fascinating trip where you learn how farmers grow their crops, what kinds of animals live on a farm, and where the food in the produce aisle comes from. This latest DVD from TM Books & Video arrived in stores on February 8, 2011.
The 30-minute Fun on the Farm is an engaging foray into the growing cycle. It starts in the spring with planting, then the fields are cultivated, and finally, in the fall, when the leaves change to beautiful shades of red and gold, the farmers harvest their crops using a combine.
Host Doodle Rooster and his friends Bell Cow and Harvey Horse take turns introducing young viewers to the marvels of big farm machines all set to a delightful soundtrack of singer/songwriter James Coffey.
Take a trip to the "Farm in the Zoo," a big attraction at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo that teaches city kids about farm life. Then travel to the John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline , IL to see how John Deere makes their combines. Learn about tractors, cultivators, combines, plows, balers and more. Take a laugh-filled trip to the Wacky Farm and lend a hand and work the land as you explore the many chores kids do on a farm.
Along with games like "Name the Letter" and "The Cloud Game" (finding clouds that look like animals), your little farming enthusiasts are sure to cultivate new seeds of knowledge and have a great time exploring the many facets of life on the farm.
Fun on the Farm is recommended for ages two to five and is available for a suggested retail price of $14.99. To order, call toll free 1-800-892-2822 or visit http://www.tmbv.com/.
If you have a child who likes tractors, or farms, especially John Deere farm machines…you might want to consider adding this DVD to your collection. My 3 year old LOVES tractors and diggers and things that move, pull, dig, push, stir, chop- and he was in heaven watching this video. Four times in a row the first viewing! If you've ever seen a video with John Deere in it, you are already well-familiar with James Coffey's blue-grass feel music that goes along with the live action DVDs, and like it or not (thankfully I like it) you will probably get the tune in your head while your child watches this video. We watched this several times the week my kids had scarlet fever- along with a ton of other videos- but this is one of the few my 3 year old keeps asking for. He finds Doodle Rooster to be quite hilarious.
We've loved James Coffey's music since we were first introduced to the "All About John Deere" for kids videos, and have loved him since.

Beer Road Trip for the Dodgers but I am heading to New York
I leave tomorrow morning for New York! I am excited about my trip! I will be staying with my friend Abby who I met at the SABR41 convention in Long Beach, CA. Abby is a Yankee fan. Yankees are away so what she planned first is to watch a Brooklyn Cyclone game on Thursday evening.
The forecast while I am there is: Isolated thunder storms. Thunder storms is one thing that I am afraid of but I'll try not to have it bother me *crosses fingers*
Saturday we will be going to Citi Field for a SABR/Baseball Prospectus event. Details here http://sabr.org/node/2339 then watch the Mets against the Brewers. Abby convinced me to go after she so nice to offer for me to stay with her. I don't know what else she has made plans for but whatever it is I am looking forward to it all!
The Beer Road Trip for my Dodgers and some Dodger fans.
My boys are in Milwaukee until Thursday, then they fly to Colorado for a three game weekend series then is on to ST Louis. I was trying to workout my flight to maybe stop at Milwaukee first or St Louis at the end but too complicated. My friend William (Deuce's dad) told me "Emma, I got tickets for you if you want to go to St Louis. He is on the road to St Louis. Last time I checked he was in Oklahoma, home of Matt Kemp. Here is Deuce:
I've taken a tour of Coors Brewery in Colorado and of Anheuser Bush when I was in St Louis but never been to Milwaukee. Friend Cindy (see her Dodgers tatoo) and her husband are driving to Colorado to see the Dodgers there.
Friend Cynthia who is an usher at Dodger Stadium is also going to Colorado but she is landing there then renting a car to go to Mount Rushmore. I never been there. I might run into her in Denver as I am making a stop there. She might be catching a game on her way back to Colorado. You all have a safe trip and see you all back at Dodger Stadium!
Start spreading the news….New York New York..

Too bad your NY trip doesn't coincide with a home game for the Yankees. But not to worry about the weather. It's cleared up and the skies look just fine. Safe travels.
Jane, yeah could not work it out to watch the Yankees. It would have been nice!
Ron, I take it you saw your Cubs there? Coors field Is nice.
Jeff, thought you would like a beer tour.
Virginia, yeah too bad I can't see the Yankees, still got th visit that stadium. maybe next year

Anyone have any tips on how to substitute BF with a bottle feeding?
DD is 10MO, and I have dropped from 6 to 5 BF/day (in addition to 3 meals/day), but her fluid intake hasn't increased, so I don't want to drop another BF yet (my plan is to go down to 3BF/day before I return to work in June).
I've tried diluted juice and water, and am considering formula (hypoallergenic), but only succeed in getting about 40ml/meal (3 times/day), and this with a lot of gentle pushing (very frustrating for DD and I!).
DD has never been offered a bottle with a nipple, and I'd prefer to bypass the bottle with nipple altogether. I've been using an Advent Magic Cup with the stopper removed for a couple of months (DD hasn't figured out the sucking motion required when the silicone disc is in place).
Any tips/advice? Many thanks!

Vicenteticus Padillicarpeus
While you and I spend our time wondering when the Phillies bullpen will
next self destruct or why there aren't as many green M&Ms as there
are brown, or how long it will take Glenn Beck to realize we're laughing at him, not with him, there are some people in the world (scientists and such as) who pass the time by making ground breaking discoveries, actually furthering the intellect of the human mind.
Move over Lucy. Make way for Ardi.
That's right. Australopithecus afarensis,
an extinct hominid (most commonly known as Lucy), who was once thought
to be our oldest common ancestor, now must take a backseat to the most
recently proclaimed elder of bipedalism: Ardipithecus (or Ardi for short).
Like it or not, this is a big deal because Ardi is a million years older than Lucy! Consider her the
cougar of the archaeological bar scene. And with her discovery, the
entire evolutionary map of modern day humans and just exactly where we came
from, how we evolved, what we once were, has been totally rewritten.
It is no longer safe to say we share a common ancestor with
chimpanzees. More likely than not, we came from Ardi and whoever (or
whatever) came before her. Her construction is rare, odd, striking: a
bipedal creature with an opposable big toe; an animal that walks
upright on land but acts as a quadruped in its arboreal environment,
Ardi is the corner border in a 5 gazillion trillion piece puzzle that
is the evolutionary road to modern day humans.
We're starting to know where we came from.
Yet the only plausible explanation science can come up with for where the
ugly flop-sweat of a man known as Vicente Padilla came from is this
thing from the Clash of the Titans:
Yep. We've come a long way… just not long enough.
Hate me 'cuz I don't pull punches, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Great title…and I have to say you must be getting some kind of desperate if your checkin out nudes that look like that…as usual your humor and insightful education is second to none or is that noone….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
haha, this is funny because before reading this, I had written in my latest blog "I don't care what Jeff says, Padilla is beautiful."
If he can pitch the way he has been pitching, he is a beautiful man.
Peter — I found that title by some serious research… and if you believe that I got some land I wanna sell ya in Florida. Interested?
Julia — Indeed it does😉
Emma — I agree… though beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I know that there are a lot of blind people who find him beautiful.
Jeff… my Dad used to say… "they don't pay me to get hurt." .. I gotta say "they don't pay Vicente to be purty!" : ) Homey can chuck the tater.
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
"…ugly flop-sweat of a man known as Vicente Padilla"
I may be ruthless, but you my friend, are BRUTAL!!!
I burst out laughing.
Buz — True story. If they did pay ya for being purty, Six-Fingered Alfonseca and his belly sure wouldn't have gotten paid much either.
Prince — Part of captaining is making the tough, brutal choices most people couldn't stomach. All or nothing. There is no other way.
I wouldn't have it any other way. If Jane continues down this road of bacon/lunacy, you may be in line for promotion as she convalesces.

Mark, I am sorry for offending you. I certainly wasn't trying to find out about you, I was reading through this whole thread about the Scoliosis SOS Clinic, and I just noticed that you had got the wrong end of the stick in what curvyclair had written.
In answer to those who asked about the price of treatment at the Scoliosis SOS clinic in Suffolk : we paid the equivalent of £2950 for the four-week treatment.
Added to this, we rented a cottage in nearby Woodbridge, as the accommodation nearer to the clinic was full, but the price was similar to the clinic's places. (We brought our daughter for two weeks in August, and two weeks in December 2010. The rent was a bit cheaper in December.)
I didn't get offended at the post, i guess you didn't realise the thread was a year old, i linked you to that post so you could see how surgery sometimes is the only option, no amount of exercise could ever remotely hope to reduce the size of my curve
sometimes i get frustrated when i read about how wonderful these clinics are and how bad surgical intervention is.
It almost like i am being made to feel seedy or dirty in some way for having had a surgical intervention.
If this clinic can perform miracles then why is the NHS not banging its door door to refer us sufferers
If this helps sufferers then great thats fantastic i have no problems with it but the misinformation that is put out about surgical intervention needs addressing and scaremongering about surgery is unhelpful (not that i am accussing you of this) i am talking here generally about stuff i have read here and on other websites
take care

I certainly would never, never judge you or anyone else who opts for surgery, especially when their curve is really severe. And I do not see you or anyone who does have surgery as seedy, dirty, or second-rate in any way at all. God forbid! That thought never even crossed my mind!
I can only speak for my daughter's situation, as she was so dead set against even contemplating surgery, which was what she had been told was the only solution for her, and was getting panicky and depressed at the thought of it, that I was mighty relieved to find a solution which suited her and her situation.
The Scoliosis SOS clinic has never ever claimed that her back could be completely returned to normal, and they do stress how important it is to keep doing the exercises regularly and on a long-term basis, which is no worse than someone who has a chronic illness, and has to be resigned to taking medication for many years.
What is important is to find a treatment which suits each individual situation, reduces pain and allows people to lead a full life, isn't it?
I have a cousin in West Sussex whose daughter has scoliosis, and while she was interested to hear about my daughter's treatment, she and her daughter are quite satisfied with the brace she has to wear, and with the prospect that she might eventually need to have an operation. We can share our experiences without feeling judged or pressured into doing likewise.
Be at peace, dear Mark, and have a wonderful day!
Kind regards
Please accept my apologies if i am or have been a little over sensative, i have lived with this for 40 years

Hi all,
It has been fascinating readding all your posts on this thread, but I am now even more confused than ever!! I was on the waiting list for surgery, but have backed out after been told about how ill I will be after surgery. I have two young children and any risk through surgery I take will be their risk not mine.
I think I was hoping to find some magic wand on this thread, which I know is stupid. I now feel quite lost and uncertain what to do. Blahhhhh!
Thank you to everyone who posts on here, I feel I have taken another step in my acceptance of it all.
I sugest going to Germany for Schroth Theraphy...
I really believe in the Scoliosis SOS centre. My daughter did 3 week session there are all very dedicated employees there.
Good luck with the Spinecor. Even if it doesn't manage to stave off surgery indefintiely, it should give your daughter a few more precious 'growing years'. Plus it will still allow her muscles to be active, which is a big advantage over the hard braces.
Me, a Mod? Nah ... I'll always be a rocker
Yes, of course, my daughter is wearing a TLSO brace made at the RNOH, she was cast for it and the chap who made it was very particular!
So far this is her second brace as she outgrew the first one in 6 weeks, it has reduced her thoratic curve by 10 degrees and her lumbar curve by 3 - 5 degrees, she is stable at 33degrees T & L Hopefully it will stay that way until our next appt in Feb 2012 & beyond.
I'm really sorry to read about your daughters Diagnosis of the Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia.
We haven't investigated the cause of my daughters Scoliosis as I have so far assumed it is hereditary as I have it too, but I don't know why I have it either, suffice to say in my 23 years of treatment I have never had a full spine MRI, although I did have a Myelogram in 1991 which was pre MRI and I believe that was designed to show up major problems with the Spinal Cord.
Liz aka Kat - I will answer to either Diagnosed with AIS at the age of 13. 1st surgery - Mr Ransford @RNOH in 1991, curves = 55T 45L, fused T2 - L2. 2nd surgery - Mr Harrison @RNOH in 2006 - revision of original surgery due to broken rod.
Now have Degenerative Disc Disease above and below my fusion and have recently been diagnosed with HMS and Fibromyalgia and therefore am in a lot of pain daily.
PM me if you want to know more.
Is this company trustworthy or not?

About the Author: Dr. Esther Brimmer serves as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs. She is currently in Rio de Janeiro participating in the 5th World Urban Forum, organized by UN Habitat.
I am so pleased to be part of the U.S. delegation to the 5th World Urban Forum (WUF) here in Rio de Janeiro, where the United States welcomes the opportunity to co-chair this important forum with the government of Brazil.
By 2050, two-thirds of the world's population will be living in cities, most of them in the developing world. We understand now more than ever the crucial importance of addressing urban issues not just in a domestic context, but as an important element of America's international engagement. In fact, urban issues truly underscore how global challenges are becoming more complex and inter-related.
We know that urbanization is not a challenge unique to cities in the United States, or Brazil. As the United States addresses the domestic phenomenon of growing urbanization -- with issues as varied as affordable housing, water and sanitation, and mass transportation -- we must concurrently seek means of addressing similar phenomena across the globe. Developing effective country-led strategies and marshaling the resources necessary to address these challenges will be immensely difficult.
Rapidly growing cities have a growing impact on a number of global issues that the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, which I lead at the Department of State, works on day in, day out -- from food and water security to climate change to human rights, including women and children's rights. The United States is committed to working with the United Nations, Brazil, and our international partners to help more families find a safe and secure place to live -- from Rio de Janeiro to Port-Au-Prince to New York. I personally look forward to engaging with other WUF participants on these issues.
In particular, I will be participating in a discussion of international efforts to re-build Haiti. Since the devastating earthquake on January 12, the United States has been working closely with the United Nations and other governments, including Brazil's, to assist Haitians in re-building their country, and specifically the capital city, Port-au-Prince. The United States is proud to co-host, along with UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon, the Haiti Donors' Conference next week in New York City. Later this week, I also look forward to standing alongside Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive at a Special Session on Haiti called "Building Back Better," hosted by the Brazilian government.
I applaud UN Habitat for organizing this conference and for all the work it does on urban and settlements issues, showing us how effective a small but focused UN agency can be -- and how it can succeed on making progress on one of the most challenging and expansive issues of our time.

Joe in Tennessee writes:
I believe the major problem which comes with the exodus of people in the surrounding urban areas results in development not premised on the over all needs of the country.
People move to the urban areas for security, work and services, including education. They may better service the National interest by moving those services to the countryside where farming, logging, and mining, etc can be developed by the citizens rather than outside non vested interest.
Brazil offers all it citizens health care and at no cost….which is one reason why the Urban centers there are growing.

Tuesday 's game the Runge team stepped up with a vengeance, opening with a salvo of base hits and 4 runs, but KC's ace pitcher, Terra, buckled down and retired the Elite with a strong pitching effort. KC went on to win this game 16-7, even though hard fought by the Runge ladies. In the top of the second inning an injury put a damper on the game when KC second baseman Hannah Rhodes injured her leg on a play at home plate. A tough kid, she was helped off the field and replaced by #15, Serenity.

After a lull in the bottom of the first, the Kenedy Maroon batters blasted some hits plus aggressive base running to go ahead 7-3 into the top of the third. Runge Orioles salvoed with some great hitting but the Maroon team played stellar defense and blocked Runge from scoring. Kenedy Maroon took home the victory, 11-3, in four innings despite a mosquito invasion on the field.

In the beginning, my daughter nursed like a pro and she continues to gain weight and length well. The doctor has no concerns about her growth.
The thing is that there are more times than not where she will cry at the breast. She acts like she is hungry but once she starts nursing, she pulls off and cries. I try changing positions, changing breasts, removing some of her clothing, etc., but she still does this. It's been going on for about two months now.
We do still have some wonderful nursing sessions and I thought about what might be different during those sessions than the ones where she cries but really there isn't anything.
Does your baby do this also? How did you help your DC to nurse better?

The team now is forecasting 10 named storms to develop in the Atlantic this year, four of which it expects will become hurricanes with one growing in intensity to a category 3 or higher.
Last month, the team predicted nine named storms, of which three were expected to become hurricanes with one developing into a category 3 or higher.
The team still is forecasting a lower-than-normal season, but revised its forecast both because of uncertainty of the expected development of an El Niño event in the eastern Pacific Ocean and cooler Atlantic sea surface temperatures that are beginning to climb.
"The tropical Atlantic remains cooler than normal," says Phil Klotzbach, the lead author of the revised forecast, "and the chances of a moderate to strong El Niño event this summer appear to be relatively high. "
One of the effects of El Niño is suppressed hurricane formation.
"But we have seen some conditions change in a manner to make the season slightly more favorable to storm formation, which prompted us to increase our predictions," Klotzbach says.
The team predicts activity during the 2014 season will be about 70 percent of normal. By comparison, last year's season was 45 percent of normal.
The CSU team will update its revised forecast July 1 and issue a final full forecast July 31.
Its landfall predictions are:
• Entire U.S. coast – 40 percent.
• East Coast – 22 percent.
• Gulf Coast – 23 percent.
• Caribbean – 32 percent.

Celebrity Cuts: Short vs. Long1 of 18

Whoa, Hayden Panettiere! We did a double take when we saw the Heroes star's new cropped style. Click through to see some other stars who've cut it all off and debate whether it looks better or not.
Hayden Panettiere: Long2 of 18
