Jazz faculty members vocalist Janice Borla and drummer Jack Mouse were featured in a four-page article titled "A Basement Conversion: The Borla/Mouse Basement Studio" in the October 2010 issue of "Recording," a magazine for the recording musician. The article focuses on their home studio, which they designed, and includes comments from recording engineer John Larson on how the space was adapted for recording and mixing sessions. Here's a preview from the article:
"Borla and Mouse have a variety of musical credits to their names, including recording numerous jazz CDs; they are founders of a vocal jazz camp, and both are pioneers in jazz education, currently on the faculty at North Central College in Naperville. As a husband-and-wife team they designed a basement to function as a place for writing, rehearsing and teaching and, as it turned out, it became the place where they recorded Janice's highly acclaimed CD, 'From Every Angle.'"

Michael Jackson Would've Been Great Baseballer Had He Known What the Bat Was For
In fact, my 1979-1988 inner-child is sobbing uncontrollably at the loss of his hero — the late, great pop sensation, Michael Jackson.
As a young, impressionable child, I had but two passions: baseball and moonwalking. One of them I held onto well into adulthood, the other I let go once things… well, once things got weird.
Still, I never lost my appreciation for the musical genius of the original M.J. and always hoped that one day he'd eschew complete facial and epidermal reconstruction in favor of good old US American past times like baseball, apple pie and rich white men screwing their secretaries.
Turns out Michael did give baseball a shot…
But it didn't turn out so well.
Some people are born with a bat in their hands, some are born with a microphone. Only one was born to be the King of Pop.
Rest in peace, Mike.
Rest in peace,
10 Comments
Ultimately, I choose to remember the moonwalking MJ myself, Jeff…he was just incredible. The disfigured, post-'88 cartoon character he became…well, I hope my mind eventually tucks those images away along with the hideous light-blue uniforms the Rangers used to wear in the '70s.
I spent many a nights dancing to his music when I was in college. That is the man I'll remember. I hope he is finally at peace.
My friends and I tried to learn the "Thriller" dance by following along with the video on YouTube. We wanted to dance like Michael. Never really worked out, but at least the moonwalk and baseball can stick around.
Haha.. exactly the kind of "tribute" to mister Jackson I'd imagined coming from RSBS.. good stuff, lol..
"baseball, apple pie and rich white men screwing their secretaries" lmao.. ain't that is an accurate description of america..
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
I tried to learn and do the moonwalk… FAILED. Even though this is a tragic news, the world will never forget him.
Jonestein — Could be worse, could be the '79 Pirates yellow road unis. Eww.
Julia — Me too, though I was in grade school😉
Paige — I think everyone tried that. Don't feel bad for failing like the rest of us.
V — That's about as accurate as it gets!
Hyunyoung — You're right about that. Probably is no one more famous worldwide than MJ.
How about rich white politicians from South Carolina screwing women from Argentina? But I digress. I loved the moonwalking MJ and downloaded "Billie Jean" yesterday in tribute.
Oh MJ. My fondest memory will be of a video I had to make for my Spanish class in high school. I was a reporter on the scene of some tragic event, and I ended up being chased by the dancing zombies in the "Thriller" video. I was attacked by said zombies, and I learned half of the dance in order to complete the video. Good times, good times. 🙂
He was the King of Pop. No doubt about it. He will definitely be missed.
Jane — We're getting to that; and I second the Billie Jean.
Jen — We're all still trying to learn that dance.
Dillon — Amen.

Learnt To Love It The Hard Way: Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner Review
They say true love persists and triumphs all odds. So it must be true love that had me continue using the Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner even when it was blunt, broken, and almost hopeless.
I was out with a girlfriend, Qi, some many months ago, when we stopped by Clio's makeup counter that had a new range of products – Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner.
I'm hardly ever inclined to get new products on the market and prefer to wait around for reviews before deciding whether to throw good money at it. Somehow, that day, I had a calling. No, actually, more like the silly salesgirl told us the booth would be gone by the weekend and the Clio eyeliners will not be available until November. That was in May. However, by the very next weekend, the pencils were everywhere. -.-"
Good marketing strategy though. Instil FEAR.
I swatched the Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner and had to pretend it wasn't anything much in front of the promoter so she wouldn't know I was actually VERY impressed with the swatches. I like to keep my cool in front of promoters lest they pounce on my vulnerability. LOL.
Add to that the FEAR strategy and I was 98% sold. The 2% came from Qi who said "I'm gonna get it". Okie. $18.90 down on something I hardly knew anything about.
I got the brown, she got the black and we had a chance of spinning the wheel for a price. Got a silly tiny bottle of eye makeup remover. But the first prize was hardly enticing either, some trolley bag or something.
Love Child Of Gel And Pencil
I LOVE that they're very much like gel liners – the lasting power, smoothness, glidability – but in pencil form for greater convenience and lower price.
I used Star Purple and Metalic Silver in this purple-blue-green-yellow makeup tutorial.

Traditionally, council members have nominated individuals to fill vacancies on bodies like the Beeville Economic Improvement Corporation, Board of Adjustment, Planning and Zoning Commission and Traffic Safety Commission.
Most often, board and commission members have simply been reappointed if they expressed a desire to serve an additional term.
Whenever new members were needed to replace members who had moved from the city or who no longer wished to serve, council members would nominate someone who had expressed a desire to serve.
Recently, the council approved an application method that would give interested city residents an opportunity to come forward and offer their services.
To make sure the council picked the right person for the job, they decided to provide an application for those interested in volunteering for a board position.
Anyone interested in applying for an appointment by the council should contact the city secretary's office at 358-4641 to pick up an application.
The office is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. weekdays.
Interested persons may pick up a copy of the application between Aug. 1 and Aug. 22.

Yankees HOPE Week Honoree: Jorge Munoz
Blog Categories:
United We Serve
Jorge Muñoz's 2004 encounter with homeless day laborers sounds like the pivotal moment in the latest feel-good movie. But the "Angel in Queens" wouldn't be providing up to 140 meals nightly if the need in their words didn't resonate with him: "If we have a job, we will get money to eat tonight; if not, we don't eat anything."
Not long before that chance meeting Muñoz, a naturalized immigrant from Columbia, had a conversation with people in the food industry who talked about how much food was routinely thrown away. Those incidents provided the spark that ignited a personal crusade to get food that would normally be wasted to people in need.
'Sharing is the Main Thing'
That first night, Muñoz relayed the story to his mother, Doris Zapata, and they made eight brown bag sandwiches for the men waiting under the subway tracks. Eight years later, his nonprofit An Angel in Queens feeds as many as 140 individuals in Jackson Heights seven nights a week, with no breaks for holidays or weather.
"My mom is my hero," said Muñoz. "From my childhood, she taught me to share my toys or whatever I have extra. Sharing was the main thing. For me it's easy, for other people, maybe not. But for my mom, my sister and me, it is the easiest way to help somebody."
Muñoz's life revolves around the project, and everything happens in their apartment, which has several refrigerators along its walls and a small kitchen that is lined with cans and sacks of dried food.
On a typical day, Muñoz wakes at 6 a.m. and takes his sister's son to school before heading to Costco or BJ's to buy food and supplies for the day. Then he makes the rounds of local businesses that provide the donations to create balanced meals like chicken with rice, beef with pasta, or pork with beans.
The process takes about five hours from start to finish before he loads his pickup truck at 7 p.m. After he attends evening church services with his mother, Muñoz heads to his regular spot where he hands out meals at 9:30 p.m.
Charity Trumps Personal Trials
Muñoz worked as a bus driver before he was laid off, and he would spend about half of his $700 weekly salary on food and supplies. He now uses his unemployment check to continue funding the charity.
"Winter, summer, they are waiting for me every night," Muñoz said. "When you hand a meal to a guy who has been waiting for a half an hour in anything from 10 degrees to 100 degrees and he says, 'God bless you,' that's when you know you're doing something good."
Muñoz doesn't have much time outside of his charity, but he has started classes at Queensborough Community College with an eye toward a degree Business Administration. Still, Muñoz has no plans to stop serving others and wishes others did the same.
"If all of us shared a little more," he said, "then no one would go hungry each night."
About HOPE Week
Now in its fourth year, the New York Yankees HOPE Week recognizes individuals and organizations whose acts of goodwill provide hope and encouragement to the community. Honorees are surprised by Yankee players and staff, and attend the night's game as guests of the team.
The Corporation for National and Community Service partners with the New York Yankees to present each HOPE Week honoree with the President's Volunteer Service Award. The Yankees and CNCS hope the honorees' stories send the message that everyone can serve to make their community a better place.


text: DD basically weaned herself while we were on vacation. I had kind of expected it since when we are away from home during the day, she does not cue to nurse. She just went to nursing through the night. She is still nursing through the night 1-2x, and maybe 1x during the day. I can NOT get her to drink cows milk. She will not even drink BM out of a sippy, let alone cows milk. Should I be concerned about her milk intake?

Rafael Grampá's 10 Days in Berlin
While creating his first 3D animated film, Dark Noir, Rafael Grampá worked at a breakneck pace for two months at the London studio of animators Red Knuckles. As you can see by the behind the scenes video Grampá and Red Knuckles had their work cut out for them as they went through the detailed process of bringing 2D concepts to life as 3D characters, while also accepting live-suggestions from consumers through Facebook.
Needless to say, the team was exhausted by the time it was done.
Once most of the film was complete, Grampá packed up his bags, along with a group of friends, including Dark Noir's music composer Marcio Chavemarin, and headed over to Berlin, where the film would premiere 10 days after he arrived. Over the course of these 10 days, Grampá worked out of the MADE space to put the final touches on the film, and see what this incredible city had to offer. With HighSnobiety Magazine editor-in-chief Robert Wunsch as his guide to the coolest and best restaurants in the city, he also met with a some of the most creative minds in the city, including designer Itamar Zechoval, and artist Jaybo Monk, along with some of the influential bloggers that were excited to see the premiere.
Once the premiere day came, Grampá and crew went back into high gear for a final weekend of celebration with media from all over the world attending the premiere, and a great crowd of Berliners who celebrated the premiere of this amazing film.

Hynix Semiconductor, a leading producer of advanced memory chips, has announced its first samples of GDDR5 memory chips to be used in graphics cards or game consoles. Hynix is the second memory manufacturer to create such chips and currently expects to start GDDR5 mass production in the first half of 2008.
Just like in case of Qimonda's first GDDR5 memory chips, the initial GDDR5 from Hynix will be available with data rates up to 20GB/s per component (5000MHz, or 5GHz, in case of a memory chip with 32-bit memory bus), which is more than double the bandwidth of the fastest GDDR3 and GDDR4 memories today. Hynix's GDDR5 memory chips come with 1Gb densities, meaning that eight of such chips may power a 1GB graphics card with 160GB/s bandwidth.
The newly introduced GDDR5 is built on the company's 66nm process technology and designed to minimize power consumption. In addition to its small form factor and power saving characteristics, Hynix's GDDR5 features time delay adjustments, error correction and jitter control technology enabling more robust system designs.
Hynix plans to start mass production of GDDR5 in the first half of next year to meet the increasing demand for high performance graphics DRAM.
With its improved speed and power characteristics, GDDR5 is projected to succeed GDDR3 and dominate the graphics DRAM market from the second half of 2008.

Bentley's signing would add to that of Phillip Leuluia arriving from Salford for a second stint here. He played previously at Limoux. A third signing of note would be half back Nathan Wynn probably Toulouse Olympiques best player. These three recruits plus the other Aussies Duggan and Mullane and two promising youngster in centre Cardace and forward Bousquet will possibly make the FCL near untouchable. Their young coach Aurelien Cologni's star is rising all the time too.

I don't want to brag, so I won't: I'm incredibly awkward. It mostly sucks, but it's also one of the only subjects I can write about with some degree of confidence because I am, through no choosing of my own, an expert. This means that, while I have no idea if Hollywood is accurate in its portrayal of doctors or lawyers or functioning human beings, I can say with total certainty that, when it comes to writing about awkward people, Hollywood is absolutely dogshit.
4 Awkward Doesn't Mean Clumsy
If you're a Hollywood screenwriter and you want to demonstrate to the audience that your character is socially awkward, your job is simple: Just take a beautiful woman and have her trip!
That's all. The characters are all intelligent and attractive and capable and good at their jobs (which Hollywood displays by putting the woman in a pantsuit at some point), but they're also awkward, and nothing says awkward quite like tripping on a dress (or on 27 dresses, as the case may be).
Clumsiness and a general lack of coordination can be a part of awkwardness, but if you ask Hollywood, it's the only part. If falling down was the beginning and end of awkwardness, I'd be thrilled. I fall down a lot, certainly more than you'd expect from a person whose legs function, but I also turn bright red whenever I get nervous, which is always, and I will carry on a fake conversation on my cellphone if I'm at a party and don't know anyone for hours. I tell movie theater ushers "You too" when they tell me to enjoy the movie I'm about to see, and the other day when someone on the street asked me for directions to the beach, I said, "No thank you," because being awkward means finding new and exciting ways to say the wrong thing, always always always.
This is closer.
The "awkward" women trip and bump into things in their movies, but before and after they trip, they dance and smile and maintain healthy relationships and successfully navigate social situations that would be terrifying for a genuinely awkward person (re: all social situations).
3 Awkwardness Isn't Just Any Vague Series of Accidents
We use "awkwardness" so incorrectly and so often that it's lost all meaning at this point. Today awkwardness is used as a catch-all to describe any amusing circumstance that's vaguely accidental. Someone in a movie shows up at a party wearing the same outfit as someone else, and so another character yells "aaaawkward" and everyone laughs and someone does a skateboard trick and the credits roll (it's been a long time since I've been to the movies).
It's raining right in the middle of their kiss! How awkward.
I'm an awkward guy. I'm really wonky tonk in social situations because it's hard to connect with people and because I say things like "wonky tonk." I sweat from places and in amounts that would really challenge your idea of how much water a human body can hold. These things are rough, but they're just garnishes to awkwardness; they're things that go hand in hand with being an awkward fella. Here's what being socially awkward is really like:
Think of a scene from one of those movies where a guy owes a lot of money to a bookie or the mob. He borrowed money at some point and then lost it, and now he's just trying to avoid the mob. Then one day he's out somewhere having fun and then, oh no, a representative of the mob catches up with him! He sees a thug wearing a suit and adjusting his pinky ring in a way that says "I'm very menacing indeed. And you owe me." And then our guy who borrowed the money is like "Oh fuck, that's right, I was having such a great day until I remembered that I don't have that money anymore and I have no clear way to get it back and I can't involve anyone else and I'm completely on my own with no way out oh God oh no!"
That's what being awkward is, except the thug with the pinky ring is your brain, and it shows up all the time. I was walking down the street the other day in a rare window of feeling not uncomfortable, and then my brain showed up out of nowhere with a pinky ring and whispered, "You're clearly having a good time and I don't want to get in the way of that, but I just thought I'd point out that the way you walk is super weird and everyone knows it. Like you've been walking wrong your whole life. Again, don't even think about it. Don't think about your hands. Don't think about how strange the position of your hands is. Don't sweat -- if you think about sweat, you'll sweat, don't sweat. Hey look, there's a pretty girl over there. When you smile your cheeks get dumb looking and you have a wink that is off-putting to everyone who knows you so don't wink or think about your wink or try to wink or do anything with your face in the direction of this pretty girl at all. Anyway, don't think about it, but it's true. Have fun!"

This has been a magical weekend in London. I have been here since Wednesday and I have found my way around very easily. I have had to let go of a lot of fears and just step into the unknown and it has been amazing. So many wonderful things have happened and I know it's only the beginning.
I am really loving my job working with Laura Dawson and she is a wonderful person. So far I have been allowed to work on one of my own designs with guidance from her and the two of us have been drafting patterns for it and doing some draping. I like seeing the process from a more professional standpoint. There are a lot of things in fashion design that are a little uninspiring and just plain boring, especially when it comes to the technical stuff… but so far I am interested!
On Sunday I had to fetch a few samples, which meant learning to take the bus to another part of town, and then we picked up the actual fabric bolt in the car… which was the most daunting thing I have ever done. It took almost an hour to park because of all the street markets that set up on Sundays in London. But it was a learning experience none the less.
Yesterday evening I went to Hyde Park for the Hard Rock Calling concert to see Stevie Nicks. As most of you know she is one of my heroes and I have followed her music forever. I love her and I am totally inspired by her. I have wanted to see her in concert for a while now and I found out that she would be performing while I am here in London so I told myself I had to go.
I was a little afraid to go at first because I was unsure of the venue. I didn't know if it was going to be sectioned off or opened and I didn't know what the area was like. But I went for it because I wont be in Cincinnati when she plays there this summer… so it was my only chance. And once I got there my fears were dissolved. Everyone was friendly and helpful and of course Hyde Park was beautiful.
Stevie Nicks was brilliant on stage. She sounded wonderful and looked stellar. Stevie channeled Janis Joplin when she wore her aviator sunglasses on stage to block out the sun because it was sizzling hot and beaming right in her face. The crowed loved her too and people danced and cheered with each song and they were especially alive on the tracks like Stand Back and Edge of Seventeen. The energy was sort of pulsing and spiritual and you could tell Stevie felt it.
The concert was phenomenal. I was so excited to see her. It felt surreal to be seeing someone whom inspires me so much on such an important trip. I felt that seeing her was a blessing on what I am doing here in London. I have said it many times and I will say it again, this is a special trip; this is a trip that will change my soul… a little piece of my destiny. Last night I thought my trip was made and that nothing could top it.
Today the icing was put on the cake when I went to a CD signing in Oxford Circus for the release of Stevies' new album In Your Dreams. Today was the official release date here in the UK and to promote it she did her second CD signing ever. I went and stood in line for a few hours and made friends with some wonderful people as I waited to get inside. We knew we would only get a few moments once we made it to her table, long enough to get our CD signed and say a quick hello… but it was so worth it. All of us were so eager, nervous and totally enthralled.
Once I finally made it to her I was so excited. It was such a surreal moment to be standing face to face with her… with STEVIE NICKS!!! She is such a legend and talent, and it never occurred to me that this moment would be happening until it finally came!
She was a very sweet lady, whom pulled you in with her warm eyes and gentle gestures. She asked my name in order to sign my cd and when I told her she complemented me telling me that it was such a beautiful name. And she asked me to spell it for her to make sure she didn't get it wrong. She even stopped to reread it again. Then I took her hand and told her how much she has inspired me and for a moment I felt like something magical had taken place. With all her gypsy, high priestess power she blessed me and changed a little piece of what I am here to do in life.
I walked away knowing that this trip is still the most significant thing I have ever done and the fact that I was able to see her and meet her made it all the more so. I am a huge believer in signs and to know that I came here from America and my favorite singer came here at the same time to perform a rare show and do an almost unheard of cd signing is just mind blowing. I am really thankful for all of this and I am so totally moved.
I look forward to what exciting thing may happen next. I know that there are many more things to come here in London and I know it is all beautiful and wonderful. I urge you all to be inspired and to know that you can have anything In Your Dreams. So please go buy the new CD… go dance and sing and be happy!
Much Love,

It's Crunch Time: Arbitration Deadline
The next important deadline in the world of baseball, general managers must decide by the end of this upcoming Monday whether to extend arbitration to their free agents. Ian Browne explains arbitration pretty well in his report on redsox.com:
5 Comments
Elizabeth, I do not like the sound of this! Theo – just get this done and resign Tek! Don't make us wait until Christmas eve!
I love this deadline.
It usually results in a jump-start of the free agency period. The draftpick compensation holds a lot of teams back from signing Type A's and B's because they don't want to give up picks.
Everything comes more into focus when teams actually know what they have to lose/gain.
I can't imagine the RS won't sign Varitek. I know they've let some veterans walk in previous years, but I bet they'll come to a satisfactory conclusion with him and Boras. Wouldn't you guess he wants to stay, even if he doesn't get the deal he's looking for?
Hard to imagine the Sox without Varitek. He wouldn't look right in another uniform. This is a curious position because of his place on the club but the tough season he had last year. I'd look for him to bounce back some in 2009, but a multi-year deal could be hard to get done. We don't have much luck with Boras in down in Atlanta.
I sure hope the Sox get Tek locked up. Sounds like the Padres won't offer Trevor arbitration…*sob* They are being so rude to him I can't believe it. Well, hopefully he will go to a team that will respect him. YAY! There will be news in the next few days!

- Abstract
- We calculate the density profiles and density correlation functions of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a harmonic trap, using the exact finite-temperature solutions for the uniform case, and applying a local density approximation. The results are valid for a trapping potential that is slowly varying relative to a correlation length. They allow a direct experimental test of the transition from the weak-coupling Gross-Pitaevskii regime to the strong-coupling, "fermionic" Tonks-Girardeau regime. We also calculate the average two-particle correlation which characterizes the bulk properties of the sample, and find that it can be well approximated by the value of the local pair correlation in the trap center.

The Edge of Technology and Systems Thinking
By MortazaviBlog on May 20, 2009
Last year, competitive strategy guru and Harvard business school professor Michael Porter wrote about "Why America Needs an Economic Strategy." In this brief note for BusinessWeek, Porter emphasizes the importance of infrastructure, logistics and educational upgrades in the U.S. economic system, as key success factors.
These infrastructure upgrades will demand new IT technologies deployed throughout, including upgrades related to people logistics and transportation.
These upgrades, including upgrades that will affect the way we live and work in our urban and suburban environments and those that will make public transportation much more attractive alternatives, will also have a direct impact on other ecological problems we face, including the dangerous changes such as the ones that are now affecting the ice caps. See for example, the report in The Independent, "Exclusive: Scientists warn that there may be no ice at North Pole this summer."
System-level thinking teaches us that various domains of our activity and concern are in fact very well-connected and tied up in complex dynamics.
Tragedies occur when systems and their dynamics are not properly understood.
Relying on hasty moves, fire-fighting and denying the interplay of of dynamics and time has led to many mispercieved problems and "solutions" that only aggravate problems or create new ones.
Careful attention, deep study and addressing the root causes of these global and systemic problems may deliver a better future path to recovery.
In order to do all this, one needs to have a good understanding of complex systems and their dyamics. This is subtle art and requires a comprehensive understanding of various system components and how they interact, including a mental model for these interactions.
I'm afraid I have to bring the news that not everyone has had the experience or has accumulated the knowledge for that kind of integrative thinking. This is why we should set aside our bias against those who refuse to be dragged into firefights. These are people who pause to pay proper attention to problems and discover real solutions. This pause doesn't imply slow thinking, rather a paced mode of thinking. These people should be cherished rather than isolated, refused and blocked from hierarchical decision systems that emphasize perpetual firefights. (Studies have shown that "firefight" mode of thinking and acting is much more prevalent in U.S. business and government institutions when compare to Japan or other countries where root solutions are the focus. So, we may need a general cultural change to lay greater value to system thinking and problem-solving that addresses root causes.)
In general, systems thinking will get us to where we want to be. In general, symptomatic and firefight solutions may solve the problem momentarily but will only get us farther from where we want to head.

This is a story of coincidence, long odds, a rare disease, friendships, grief and the generous alumni who have channeled their emotions into helping support the educations of future physicians and medical researchers.
The story begins in fall 2008 when Dr. Lara Masullo '97 Ellison, family practice physician at Edward Hospital in Naperville, met two children who changed her life: Max Lacewell, 6, and Brianna Sharp, 13. Both lived in Naperville about a mile and a half apart. And both were diagnosed within weeks of each other with a rare form of brain cancer—diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma—while they were under Ellison's care.
"There are 150 children diagnosed with this cancer every year and to have two in Naperville was just so rare and unexpected," says Lara Ellison. "And they were such amazing kids."
Ellison found herself immersed in the families' decisions about where to seek further treatment, reviewing medical records and potential drug trials. Her own four children began to get to know Brianna and Max. Their parents and the Ellisons shared cell phone numbers. The lines separating physician and family-friends began to blur.
But even the best medical treatment couldn't stop the cancer from progressing and within nine months of diagnosis, both Max and Brianna died in July 2009.
The children's illnesses also deeply affected Shane Ellison '95, husband of Lara. "Max was the same age as my oldest child," he says. "But then I also realized that our calling should be to honor the children." The Ellisons decided to establish a scholarship at North Central—the Max Lacewell and Brianna Sharp Memorial Scholarship—for a student who's interested in pursuing oncology or cancer research. "We wanted a way to give back that was meaningful for us," says Shane. "Both families were happy with our decision."
"Lara's dedication and persistence is the reason Max received the care he so promptly needed. It's rare to find a doctor so patient, caring and personable," says Leanne Lacewell, Max's mother. "It's an honor that the Ellisons chose to remember Max and Briana in this way but not surprising."
The first scholarship recipient, Rebecca Tran '12, met the families in August 2010.
A biology major with an interest in oncology, Tran is already preparing to apply to medical school. "The families were telling stories and sharing pictures," she says. "Hearing those stories firsthand isn't always something you get to experience. And they were so positive and supportive of me."
And this story continues with Brianna's mother, Jennifer Sharp '99 Siemann M '05. "The scholarship is extra special for our family because we didn't have anything set up yet to carry on her legacy," she says, adding that they're establishing Brianna's Brigade Foundation to support Gregory Middle School scholarships.
Now working on a second master's degree at North Central, Siemann channeled her graduate school project for a Teacher Leadership course into a new student organization at Lincoln-Way West High School, where she is a social sciences teacher. "I was assigned to teach freshmen this year and I realized last fall Brianna would've been a freshman," she says. "And I started a club (at Lincoln-Way) for freshmen after I found out they had lost a classmate during eighth grade to leukemia." Called Compassion is Our Passion, the club gives young teens a place to talk about grief and to work on fund-raisers for the Ronald McDonald House and other charities. "I have my moments and I think 'Maybe I shouldn't be leading a group like this,'" she says. "But everything happens for a reason. Eventually, I find out why."

text: All right I really need some help. This is my second child and my second bout of low milk supply. With my first child the doctors told me there was nothing I could do but suppliment so I researcbed myself and found the herbs and pumped and tried all the old wives tales to no avail. Once more I'm turning here for help. I've desided to try domperidom after weighting the pros and cons. That was the easy part. The hard part is finding a doctor to perscribe it! This is where I need help. I live in arizona and southern california, does anyone know of a doc that will prescribe it or someplace in canada or mexico where I can get it without one? My daughter is one month now and i've had to start adding supplement to BF in order to get her to gain back at least her birth weight. Any help, even a nudge in the right direction will be such a help. I dont know where to turn and I really appretiate having a place to turn to. Thanks!

Freedom New Mexico: Tony Bullocks Eddie Sandoval of Fort Worth, Texas, one of two judges at the chuck wagon competition, judges the Calk & Clark wagon from El Paso, Texas for the "Duke of the Dutch Oven" Chuck Wagon Cook-off.
By Keely McDowell: Freedom New Mexico
In teaching tradition, a retired educator is hoping to create a new tradition in Clovis.
The inaugural "Duke of the Dutch Oven" Chuck Wagon Cook-Off, scheduled for noon Saturday at the Curry County Fairgrounds, offers a meal and a historical experience.
Crews travel from across the region with their wagons for cooking competitions just like the "Duke" event. Saturday's meal is historically accurate to the 1880s, with all food made from scratch and cooked in cast iron skillets.
Tickets are $15 for the lunch, with a separate 7:30 a.m. Sunday breakfast for $8. Proceeds will benefit the Miss Rodeo New Mexico pageant and miscellaneous scholarships.
The event is organized by Wilma Fulgham and Joe Rhodes of Clovis, and is being run by Jerry Slaton, who has been organizing simliar cook-offs since he retired as a school teacher 25 years ago.
More than 100 wagons descended on the fairgrounds this weekend, with passion for the western lifestyle on display. The wagons were judged Friday, with the top wagon to be announced at 4 p.m. Saturday at Joe's Boot Shop.
Husband and wife Tom and Trisha Bright of San Angelo, Texas, are one such team. This is the Brights' third cook-off this year.
"There is a great group (of wagons) here," Tom Bright said. "There are a bunch of top winners."
"Everything thing on these wagons are museum quality," said Wayne Calk of El Paso, who joked, "Yes, even the rope is authentic."
On a wagon he shares with friends Steve Woods of Denton, Texas, and Skip Clark of El Paso, Calk showed off family heirlooms.
Cookers can win up to $250 in prize money for having the best wagon, or for winning in each category of six foods served —meat, potatoes, beans, biscuits, gravy and cobbler.
Prize money normally doesn't offset the costs of competing in the events, but many participants mainly take part because they love to share history.

January 5, 2012 —
Having read recent comments and letters regarding the Town of Bethel's actions toward Yasgur Road productions, it seems important at this time to clarify some misconceptions. To begin with, the Town of Bethel is not interested in engaging in a "witch hunt" of Roy Howard and Jeryl Abramson, or any other property owner. Nor has the town spent taxpayer money toward any "revenge" against them or anyone; and we certainly do not have a "cavalier" attitude about the money that we do spend. The Town of Bethel is simply enforcing its laws. The activities on Yasgur Road have been illegally operating and jeopardizing the safety and tranquility of our town practically every year since the 1990s, and this has to stop.
Several years ago, Roy Howard and Jeryl Abramson were afforded the opportunity, as anyone would be, to apply for and receive a special use permit to operate their events on Yasgur Road. This process allows the town to ensure the health and safety of the community and our guests. They did not follow through on the process, and therefore they did not receive a special use permit. Instead, they continue to consistently and flagrantly violate the laws of the Town of Bethel, with no regard for its cost or consequences.
For example, last year they applied for and received temporary camping permits to allow only limited camping on their property for the Memorial weekend Phish concerts. Then they invited over 5,000 people and parking for over 1,300 cars. They also advertised for vending including falafel, gyros and jewelry and promoted 27 different bands to perform throughout the weekend. Once again, they did this without any proper required permits from the town. These are the facts and cannot be disputed. This one unpermitted event could have been a real catastrophe for all law-abiding neighbors, residents and concert goers.
Prior to 2008, Howard and Abramson signed an agreed upon consent order specifically prohibiting these activities without the proper permits or approvals. They broke the agreement, and their actions put the town at great risk. The board to date has been responsible for $3,100 in legal expenses on this court matter. They now owe a fine of $25,000 dollars, plus any additional legal fees and expenses the town may incur due to their appeal. Had that 2007 consent order not been violated, the town would not be spending this money and the couple would not have incurred this additional fine.
The Town of Bethel welcomes business and economic development. We work very hard, as a board and a community, to encourage and support legitimate business and cultural activities in our town. We cannot allow one property owner to ignore the processes and laws that we have in place to encourage safe, responsible business development and activities. It is not fair to those who have followed the rules and it will not be tolerated. The town board will continue to take appropriate action to uphold our laws and ensure for the health and safety of our community.
(Daniel Sturm is the Town of Bethel Supervisor, and Richard Crumley, Denise Frangipane and Vicky Simpson are councilpersons for the Town of Bethel.]

A few kilometres to the west of Huehuetenango are the ruins of ZACULEU, capital of the Mam, who were one of the principal pre-conquest highland tribes. The site includes several large temples, plazas and a ball court, but unfortunately it was restored pretty unsubtly by a latter-day colonial power, the United Fruit Company, in 1946 and 1947. The walls and surfaces were levelled off with a layer of thick white plaster, leaving them stark and undecorated. There are no roof-combs, carvings or stucco mouldings, and only in a few places does the original stonework show through. Even so, the site has a peculiar atmosphere of its own and is worth a look; surrounded by trees and neatly mown grass, with fantastic views of the mountains, it's also an excellent spot for a picnic.
There's a small museum on site with examples of some of the burial techniques used – bodies were crammed into great urns, interred in vaults and also cremated – and some interesting ceramics.
The site of Zaculeu, first occupied in the fifth century, is thought to have been a religious and administrative centre for the Mam, and the home to its elite; the bulk of the population most likely lived in small surrounding settlements. After a period of subjugation under the rival K'iche' tribe in the fifteenth century, the Mam reasserted their independence, only for another expansionist empire, the Spanish – a yet more brutal alternative – to arrive. Following a massacre by the Spanish of five thousand Mam warriors to the south, Mam chief Kaibal Balam withdrew to the safety of Zaculeu, which was protected by ravines and walls. The Spanish army prepared for a lengthy siege, giving the Maya a choice: become Christians "peacefully" or face "death and destruction".
Attracted by neither option, the Mam struggled to hold out against the invading force, but after about six weeks under siege, his army starving to death, Kaibal Balam surrendered. With the bitterest of ironies a bastardized version of his name has been adopted by one of Guatemala's crack army regiments – the "Kaibiles", who were responsible for numerous massacres during the 1970s and early 1980s.

From classic to caramel, a great brownie is a wonderful thing.
Our Favorite Brownie Recipes
View Recipe: Classic Fudge-Walnut Brownies
The best brownies are fudgy, chewy, and dense, with the thinnest sugar crust on top. Achieving all this in a light recipe can be tricky: If you use too little fat or too much flour, or leave the brownies just a minute too long in the oven, results will range from springy cakes to dry pucks. These recipes, though, yield decadent success, from full-throttle chocolate with meaty walnuts to salty-sweet caramel-drenched bars and even a bonus blondie (or two).
The key to keeping regular brownies moist is usually loads of butter or other fat. To ensure a nice fudgy texture, take care not to overbake. Large chocolate chunks create big, luxurious pockets of melty chocolate in our first recipe, Classic Fudge-Walnut Brownies, but you can always substitute chocolate chips.

Your Turn: Your Feedback On DPAO, Evacuation & Tests
The Disabled Persons Action Organization has been holding its summer concert series in Watertown for nearly 40 years. But, now city fees might drive the entertainment out of town:
The fee might be legitimate but the lack of advance notice is unfair. Do landlords tell tenants their rent has increased a day before the rent is due?
Let us be realistic here. Someone is going to bomb Canton's DMV?
I am not for the testing myself. I think they are pushing children to the limits.

A Technocratic Disruption of the Baseball Cosmos
Instant replay may be here for good but that doesn't mean I have to like it; nor does it mean I have to support it. Because I don't.
And I won't.
Before you get all sassy (Mr. Krause), let me just say that my basis for detesting this technological intrusion is not rooted in science. It does not rely on tangible evidence. It is based on one simple cosmological principle:
The baseball gods are pissed off.
For it is my strong belief that in baseball everything happens for a reason and eventually the inequalities of umpiring decisions (though visible and often game-altering) will be settled at a later time, when appropriate, when it's most necessary. This is how it has been for over a hundred years — or in other words: a long friggin' time.
Had the argument against instant replay in baseball not been so stringent in the past perhaps I wouldn't be so upset about it now; but to maintain the party line for so long only to crumble under the pressure of a few whiny millionaires is quite embarrassing. Baseball is not football. It is not basketball. It is not hockey.
It does not need instant replay — at all. Ever.
Of course, now people like my colleague Mr. Allen Krause have embraced this technology because it will supposedly ensure that each homerun call is made correctly. And though they say it will be reserved only for homerun calls, we all know that you can't just have one cookie. Before long everything from close plays at first to suspected trappings in the outfield to balls and strikes will soon be up for review by some Geek Squad reject in the New York main office, thus eliminating the human umpire element entirely, not to mention extending what many already consider a game that goes on too long.
This is not good, folks. It's not good at all. And Mr. Krause, you're completely wrong in your steadfast embrace of this electronic eye-in-the-sky Pandora's Box.
You will be sorry. You see, the baseball gods — now raging in their defiance towards this atrocious innovation — have myriad unfinished business in equalizing the poor calls of the past. But now, since MLB has gone against its purist principles, all those yet to be righted face the harsh and difficult reality that they may never see justice on the field again. Fate has been tested and one ought to know better than to mess with fate, or the supernatural.
Just ask Pete Rose.
Ever wonder why the Yankees World Series drought has lasted so long? Ask Derek Jeter or Jeffrey Maier or Tony Torasco. They know. They were there.
Ever wonder how a barely-above mediocre Cardinal squad won the 2006 World Series? Ask Don Denkinger. He knows. He took it away from them 21 years earlier.
Ever wonder how a pompous autocrat like me got to write a hit blog? Ask Greg Altmix, my high school baseball coach who sat me on the bench because I couldn't hit the ball to the opposite field. He knows. I was a pull hitter. You can't change a pull hitter.
Dear readers, for every wrong there is a right and the baseball gods know exactly what the hell they're doing.
Call me a purist, call me old-school, call me Suzie… I don't give a s***. Go ahead. Hate me if you must.
…but don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I totally agree with your view about instant replay … Like you said in your post, "Baseball does not need instant replay — at all, ever" !!! … Instant replay will only open a can of worms; and, there will those who will also want it used for all close calls, and even "balls and strikes" in the future. This is not something baseball needs, as it will take the human element out of "The Game", which is a big part of the charm of Baseball !!! … The decision to bring instant replay into baseball is a misguided, knee-jerk, reaction by our so-called Commissioner, Bud Selig, based only on a few questionable homerun calls early in this season … Too bad Selig didn't react this quickly 5-7 years ago, regarding all the players using "Steroids" and other "PED's" … The "Steroid Era" was way more damaging to the game of Baseball, as it affected many of the all-time "cherished" records [especially, all-time homerun records] of the game!!! … I only wish that Baseball and Mr. Selig will go back in time, and use "instant replay" to "ERASE" all the "TAINTED" records that have been achieved by players who have used steroids and PED's that have destroyed many great all-time records, and almost [if not totally], ruined our great game of baseball !!! … Jimmy [27NYY] …
Thanks for bringing up the most ignored, and compelling argument against instant replay: the baseball gods. There is supposed to be an element of "randomness" to the outcome, although we all know it isn't random at all. It is fate, karma, justice, the baseball gods. As you point out, we all know something good is due someone who has experienced something bad, and it is the juxtaposition that provides much of the pleasure of baseball.

"I was a pull hitter. You can't change a pull hitter." LOL
I had the same stance as you on instant replay before this year. Baseball is considered a sport but it's different than that of basketball, football, etc. However, the multitude of blown calls that have went against the Yanks at various times throughout the season have pushed me closer and closer toward instant replay. Obviously it hasn't had a huge bearing on where the Yanks are right now, but we know all too well how one call could change the momentum of a game and how one game could end a hot streak or start a losing one. For now I'm okay with instant replay. Though replay can effectively eliminate the mystic ways of baseball, there are plenty of other borderline calls that have impact and could get argued. The baseball gods WILL find a way to have it THEIR way anyway. I'm sure of it.

It's strange how the main man, GOD himself, allows surrogates to handle such trifling aspects of our daily life like baseball (hence the term "baseball gods"), but according to one Sarah Palin, he's hands on in the "War On Terror", and it's still not going particularly well. Using the lovely and charming Gov. Palin as one of his messengers with her (to put it kindly) BIZARRE statements from her extremist church may be a test to those that are willing to be tempted by the forbidden fruit of a right wing lunatic disguised as a Yummy Mummy/Governess.
Thank you all for understanding the sensitive situation here… I would write more but "yummy mummy" has me all in a tiz.😉

Today's article is on DVD playback, and I'll be demonstrating four applications from the ports collection which can be used for this purpose. Since I'll be elaborating on information found in the handbook, you'll want to read through that section as well.
There are two terms you should be aware of as they deal with DVD playback on a computer. The first is region codes. Nearly every DVD you purchase has a burnt-in region code indicating the distribution area for that DVD release. You'll find the DVD's region code on the rear jacket; it is usually towards the bottom next to the other symbols for Dolby Digital, the name of the studio, and the movie rating. Since movies are released at different times in different areas of the world, region codes are used to discourage the sale of DVDs before a region's official release date. Typically this isn't an issue unless, for example, you purchase a DVD while abroad only to discover you can't play it when you return home.
I'll list the region codes here since some of the DVD ports default to region code 1, meaning you may need to reconfigure the DVD application with the region code for your geographic area.
|Region Code
|Geographic Area
|Canada, US, US territories
|Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Egypt
|Southeast Asia, East Asia
|Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, Carribean
|Russia, Indai, Pakistan, Africa (except Egypt), North Korea, Mongolia
|Airplanes, cruise ships
The other term is CSS, or the Content Scrambling System. Almost all DVDs (usually the ones with region codes) are encrypted to prevent users from creating illegal copies, meaning that in order to actually view the DVD, the hardware DVD player needs the necessary software to unscramble the DVD. This is where things get murky and downright ugly. Since this issue is still before the courts and I'm not a lawyer, I'll leave it to you to do your own research on the subject and decide whether or not you want to play encrypted DVDs on your computer. A Google search of "dvd css" will definitely give lots of food for thought. Again, not all DVDs are encrypted. When I went through my DVD collection, I discovered that about 75 percent of them were.
DVD playback on a computer is still an emerging science, meaning that your mileage will definitely vary depending upon your CPU, video card, and resolution settings. It is quite possible that your results will be very different than mine, so read the article with a grain of salt and leave yourself some time for experimentation. I would strongly suggest that both your version of FreeBSD and your ports collection be cvsupped to the latest sources and that you are using the latest version of XFree86. Also, ensure your system is optimized for DVD playback:
dma enabled in /boot/loader.conf
666 permissions
Step by step instructions for the above optimizations were given in the previous article.
Also, if you plan on tweaking any of the default settings that come with the DVD players, the following links are a great introduction to DVD terminology and how to navigate through the alphabet soup of input and output devices:
The MPlayer site is highly recommended reading and is well worth devoting an evening to.
Finally, become the superuser and create the following links:
ln -s /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/racd0c /dev/rdvd
One of the first things I discovered when I started playing DVDs on my computer is that most of my DVDs are scrambled by CSS, but a few aren't. As chance would have it, the very first DVD I tried playing just happened to not be scrambled. The second DVD I tried to play was encrypted, which left me wondering why something that had seemed so easy had suddenly become so difficult. As I demonstrate each port, I'll show the differences between playing an unencrypted and an encrypted DVD.
There are four ports that deal with DVD playback: vlc, xine, mplayer, and ogle. My criteria for evaluating each port was, in order of importance:
Okay, enough prep. Let's start with the "vlc" port:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/vlc
make install clean
The executable will be installed to /usr/local/bin/vlc. While "vlc" isn't skinnable, it does have a decent enough looking interface which is very intuitive to use. Simply insert a DVD into your DVD drive, click on the Disc option in "vlc" and choose the Chapter you would like to start at.
If you find when you play a DVD that you're only seeing the top two-thirds of the
movie, your resolution is set too high. Press "
ctrl alt -" (use the
- on
the Num Lock portion of the keyboard on the far right). This will allow
you to scroll through your resolutions until you find the best one for
playing DVDs.
I found that the "out-of-the-box" vlc was choppy in the audio, and the audio lagged a second or two behind the video. Encrypted DVDs were worse and far too choppy to be listenable. There were tons of options in Settings -> Preferences that I could select. However, whenever I hovered over any of the select buttons, I received a message stating that the "default behaviour is to automatically select the best module available." So I didn't bother to change any of the defaults. And, according to the vlc FAQ, choppy audio is a known problem which is being investigated. For myself, I've placed vlc on the backburner, and I'll take another look at it in a few months time to see how things improve.
Next, I tried xine:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/xine
make install clean
The xine application itself will only play unencrypted DVDs. However, there are plugins available for those who wish to play encrypted DVDs:
There is also a plugin which supports DVD menu features:
I built all four ports in order to test them. The xine application will be installed to /usr/X11R6/bin/xine and any installed plugins will show as buttons in the xine GUI. This GUI is skinnable with skins available at xine.sourceforge.net. If you find a skin you like:
cd ~/.xine
mkdir skins
Then, download the skin to your skins directory. The xine skins were a real strain on my sanity. Each skin moved the buttons to a different place, renamed the buttons to something else, and changed the configuration options. Some of the skins were non-intuitive. I had no idea what would happen if I pressed a certain button. Sometimes I ended up with an "xine engine error" message which refused to go away until I killed xine.
Trying to play DVDs turned into an even more frustrating experience. Sometimes, clicking on the DVD button, then the play button, would start playing an unencrypted DVD. Sometimes, clicking on the MRL browser button, then clicking on its DVD button, then clicking on play did it. Sometimes I clicked all over, waited forever, and only froze up the GUI.
I had better luck with the NAV button which gets installed with the dvdnav plugin. This gave the extra features of retrieving the name of the DVD and allowing the mouse to choose a menu selection. Without this plugin, I had a rough time figuring out which of the buttons would get me past the main menu and into the movie.
Playing unencrypted DVDs with xine gave me the opposite problem that vlc had: the audio was decent but the video was slightly choppy and not always matched up to the audio.
In order to play an encrypted DVD, I had to use either the D4D or D5D button. If I tried the DVD button, I received that "xine engine error" which was my clue that I had discovered an encrypted DVD. I was unable to convince the D4D button to do anything other than seg-fault. D5D took a couple of minutes to decrypt the keys. The resulting video was gorgeous. I had forgotten how much better the resolution is on a monitor compared to a TV. Audio varied from perfect to choppy, so I almost threw the PC out the window. I think I will wait a bit to allow the plugins to mature before trying xine again.
Next, I tried MPlayer. This port comes with a lot of options, but most of them are already enabled or are auto-detected for you. However, you do have to specify the following options in order to enable them:
WITH_GUI #builds the GUI
WITH_LIVE #enables live.com streaming media support
WITH_TDFXFB #enables Voodoo 3/banshee support
I don't have a Voodoo video card and I wasn't interested in
support, so I just specified the GUI option like so:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer
make WITH_GUI=yes install clean
I could have also used this alternative method to specify the
make option:
make -DWITH_GUI install clean
Once the install was finished, I exited the superuser account but stayed in the same directory. Now, as my regular user I ran this command:
make install-user
Since I built the GUI, I use the executable /usr/local/bin/gmplayer. If you don't use the GUI, use /usr/local/bin/mplayer instead.
The Mplayer GUI is skinnable, so I also built the skins:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer-skins
make install clean
I was prompted to select which skins to install. I chose to install them all. The first time I started MPlayer, I was really impressed with the interface. This is what a DVD player should look like, and the skins blow the other DVD players out of the water.
A right-click anywhere on the GUI allowed me to change skins, set Preferences, and open a DVD disc. I thought, great, I've found an intuitive and gorgeous interface. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm was short-lived.
I started with a non-encrypted disc which began playing with crisp video and clear audio. After about 20 seconds, a very large error message informed me that my system was too slow. Curbing my irritation at such a blatant presumption, I dutifully stopped the DVD, recorded the error message's suggestions, and implemented the suggested changes. The changes worsened the situation: now both audio and video were choppy and still accompanied by the same error message.
Not to be deterred, I started to systematically change one thing at a time
in the Preferences. I discovered the joys of no sound, choppy sound,
and perfect sound for a maximum of 2 minutes. After exhausting all of
those changes, I was faced with trying combinations of changes. At that
point, I went in search of documentation. Of that, there was no shortage.
There is a very comprehensive "
man mplayer" and an even larger
/usr/local/share/doc/mplayer/documentation.html. At some point in my
reading, it became obvious that I was doing too much work just to play a
As a last-ditch effort, I tried just using MPlayer on the off-chance that it was the GUI that didn't agree with my system:
mplayer -dvd 1
Same deal. Only difference was that the irritating error message quietly stayed in the xterm instead of popping up in front of the movie. So I sadly waved goodbye to that gorgeous GUI and placed Mplayer in my list of things to try again at a later date.
Finally, I tried ogle. By default, ogle's engine is command-line based, but there is a port that will also build a simple GUI:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/ogle-gui
make install clean
The executable will be installed to /usr/local/bin/ogle. The interface isn't anything to write home about, but it is clean and intuitive. To play a DVD, go to the File menu -> Open disc. The ogle port automatically installs support for menus so you can use your mouse to select the desired menu option once the movie starts.
I started with an unencrypted disc, and to my surprise, gorgeous video was perfectly matched to crystal clear audio. No blips, no chop. Hardly believing my good fortune, I pushed my luck with an encrypted DVD. I had to wait a few minutes for the decryption process, but there it was: I had attained perfect playback. Just when I had almost given up on ever watching a DVD again. The ogle port had matched my first two criteria: no choppiness out-of-the-box without reading manpages or tweaking properties sheets, just a play button. In fact, I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but when you press Edit -> Properties in ogle, nothing happens. The only thing missing is some good looking skins.
Well, those were the results of my adventures and misadventures with DVD playback. I know I promised in the last article to also cover RealPlayer and some other miscellaneous ports, but the DVD section turned out to be longer than I expected. These will be the subject of the next article.

Hi ladies!! I'm new to the forums and new to relactation. My son is 11 weeks old today and have been trying to relactate sense Friday. We are renting a Medela Symphony from the Hospital and I am taking Fenugreek. Luckily I was still producing colostrum from when my son was born. Sadly he couldn't latch on (he was 4 weeks early) and didn't know what to do... we tried him at the breast at every feeding for 2 weeks... until my breasts hurt to the point we had to stop and gave up. Now he is latching on really well to his bottle and I have tried him at the breast once and he wants to nurse. So here we are trying to get my supply back. I am taking 1220mg of fenugreek 2x a day (my OB said not to exceed 6,000mg a day), and I have seen some increase in my colostrum but not much. Do you ladies know when your milk comes in is it like after having the baby, you just wake up and your full or is it a gradual thing? Also, are there any signs of when it about to happen? I'm just trying to determine how long until something comes in.
I work full time and everything and am somehow managing pumping 6 times a day. Work is being very nice and letting me go to the Mother's room every 2 hours while I'm at work and I can get in 2 - 4 more pumps after I get home (including one in the middle of the night). I try to pump every time my son eats while home.
Any advice you ladies have would be very helpful. My husband is being VERY supportive of this, especially sense I have bi polar and will have to stop most of my meds while BFing. Sadly my MIL doesn't seem to be supportive and is convinced I need to be on my meds no matter what. However I am adement about BFing and my husband is nice enough to stand by me.

You know the deal - with outrageous colors and a performance-oriented ride, the Asics Gel Noosa Tri 7 is a bold billboard advertising your speed.
The Noosa Tri 7 is definitely best suited for a more "outgoing" runner, but this shoe isn't just a fashion play. The real reason the Noosa party keeps raging on is the loyal following it has built up among runners who love the shoe's responsive ride and close fit.
On a technical level, the latest Noosa isn't a radical departure from prior versions. Testers couldn't tell a difference between the Noosa 6 and Noosa 7 out on the road, which is a good thing. The upper remains close and comfortable, and still breathes well thanks to the open mesh. We detected no seams or other hotspots that would prevent us from going sockless in this shoe.
Testers liked that the Noosa rides on the firmer side but lays down smoothly. The shoe feels flatter than its 9mm offset would suggest. The bit of pronation control offered in this shoe gives some support to pronating runners but doesn't get in the way of those in the neutral crowd who are also big fans of the shoe.
Because this is the Noosa after all, let's spend just a second on this shoe's looks. All testers liked the visuals overall, but a few had fond memories of the drawings and doodles that were featured on the Noosa 6. In their place, you get additional glow-in-the-dark accents. Charge 'em up under a bright light for 10-15 minutes and you'll get...about 5 minutes of glow. Even after the shoes have been out in the daylight a good long while, the glow in the dark just doesn't last that long. Interesting idea, but maybe more of a fun gimmick than a safety feature.
All told, the Noosa is much more than a one-trick pony. In addition to all the flair, you get a well-engineered shoe that's ready for some serious training and racing.
Just like past Noosas, this one wraps your foot and has a narrow fit.
The mid/outsole of the Noosa 7 looks just like the DS Trainer 17, but looks can be deceiving. The Noosa's ride is noticeably firmer.
I found the transition to be just OK - it's a little too stiff for what I prefer. But if you want a more responsive shoe with some pronation support in the Asics line, the Noosa is it.

January 11, 2013 —
The Sheriff's Office has made another arrest in its ongoing investigation of drug trafficking in Sullivan County. On Thursday January 10, 2013 at approximately 2:45 PM, Deputy Jessie Cramer spotted a White Ford Windstar minivan near the intersection of Anawana Lake Road and State Route 42 in the Town of Thompson.
The driver, 34 year old Angel Mulero of Monticello, was wanted by the Sheriff's Gang Intelligence Unit in connection with heroin sales in the Monticello area. Mulero was taken into custody without incident and charged with 2 counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the 3rd degree, a class B Felony.
Sheriff Mike Schiff described the suspect as one of the main players in the local drug trade. "It is possible that Mr. Mulero may have been trying to fill the void left by our last big heroin bust a few weeks ago", said the Sheriff.
While many heroin dealers have stopped stamping brand names on their product to avoid being linked to a possible death caused by an overdose, Mulero's packages of heroin were allegedly stamped with the names "Heavy Hitter" and "Melaza".
Melaza, which means "molasses" in Spanish, is also slang for "awsome" or "sweet". Angel Mulero was arraigned before Town of Thompson Judge Martin Miller and sent to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail, pending a future court appearance.
