Parental Controls for Linux Unleashed
For years, one of the overlooked areas for the Linux desktop was access to "effective" parental controls. Back in 2003, I remember the now defunct Linspire (then known as Lindows) offered a proprietary option called SurfSafe. Surprisingly, at least back then, the product worked very well in providing accurate content filtering capabilities; something that was not,in fact, available and easy-to-use at that time. Years later, an open-source alternative was released to the greater Linux community known as GNOME Nanny. Fantastic in terms of usage control, its web content web filter was laughably terrible. As expected, crowd-sourcing a filtering list isn't a great solution. And like SurfSafe, the project is now defunct.
Chapeau 24 Cancellara - Same same but different
Fedora plus Moka icons plus some extra software, mainly coming from proprietary sources. I guess that's the best way to describe Chapeau. But then, what separates one distro from another if not a collection of decorations, as software is essentially the same, apart from a very small number of standalone distributions trying to develop their own identity with their own desktop environments and app stack, re: elementary or Solus + Budgie? Except they struggle, too. Chapeau 24 is a nice effort to make Fedora friendlier, but then it does not achieve the needed result without pain. The biggest issues included a botched smartphone support. Samba woes and the horrible bootloader bug. Other than that, it behaved more or less the same way as the parent distro. Then again, why bother if you can pimp up Fedora without any loss of functionality? I do like Chapeau Cancellara, but I cannot ignore the fact Fedora does the same with fewer problems. All in all, it's a welcome effort, but it needs more polish. It does not quite capture the heart the way Fuduntu did. And with some issues looming high above the distro, the grade can only be about 6/10. Most importantly, the bootloader setup must be flawless, and there's not excuse for small app errors that we've seen. We know it can do more. Anyhow, if you're not keen on any self-service round Fedora, this could be a good test bed for your games. A moderately worthy if somewhat risky and flawed experience.
Mofo Linux: The Raw Materials for Security
The developers of Mofo Linux talk a good game. From the name's origin in abusive street slang to its self-description on the home page as "Linux designed to defeat state censorship and surveillance," Mofo presents itself as a champion of security and privacy. Nor is the claim unjustified. However, rather than putting security and privacy into the hands of ordinary users, Mofo simply presents the tools and leaves users to figure them out with a minimum of help. The result is a promising distribution that with only slightly more work, could be a leading one. Just possibly, though, this approach is a deliberate tactic, and not the carelessness it appears. Based on Ubuntu, the current release of Mofo offers nothing different in the way of productivity tools. It uses Unity for a desktop, and its applications are the standard GNOME ones. In fact, Mofo shows such little interest in such matters that it does not bother to change the title bar in the installer from Ubuntu.
Happily Announcing Mageia 5.1
As we're getting closer to the end of the year, Mageia has a present for you! We are very pleased to announce the release of Mageia 5.1! This release – like Mageia 4.1 was in its time – is a respin of the Mageia 5 installation and Live ISO images, based on the Mageia 5 repository and incorporating all updates to allow for an up to date installation without the need to install almost a year and a half worth of updates. It is therefore recommended for new installations and upgrades from Mageia 4. The new images are available from the downloads page, both directly and through torrents. Also: After a long wait, Mageia was released! Well, sort of...

Question is basically in the title.
My 5 month old is *Finally* starting to sleep longer stretches through the night. That means she isnt waking every 2 to 3 hours to feed. The first few nights, I was extremely engorged but now my milk supply has suddenly seemed to dip. I was producing 7 or 8 ounces (have to pump during the day since she's at daycare) and now Im getting roughly 3 or 4 ounces. I assume its attributed to the sudden change in her eating schedule.
Is this something to worry about or will it all balance itself out in time. She is eating 5 ounce bottles at day care so in reality Im currently not producing enough for her.
I REALLY hesitate to wake her during the night to feed (in order to keep my supply going) - for obvious reasons !

The Internet, with its simple protocol and ubiquity, has opened up huge opportunities for programs to communicate between computers, a task that always seemed complex and daunting in the past. Now there is a new dilemma. Which framework should you use for automating communication?
The two most popular frameworks, Enterprise JavaBeans and Microsoft's COM, are highly expressive and robust, but also complex. They carry an enormous amount of processing overhead. Other requirements, such as cross-platform and cross-language capability, only add to the dilemma. The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) has recently come to the forefront, promising to solve many of these problems. In active development, SOAP has several partial implementations available but is still a moving target. Some implementations cannot yet talk to each other.
What many developers have done is to use what is in place and what works now. And what works is XML-RPC. It's easy, quick, and consistent. XML-RPC fits a "glue" role that its big brother, SOAP, cannot. If you are looking for a large-scale framework for communicating between diverse servers and enterprise functionality like automated discovery of services, then XML-RPC will not fit. XML-RPC is, however, a quick, easy-to-use, reliable means of communicating between distributed locations, without worrying about what language the "other guy" has used. XML-RPC is a hybrid solution. It's not strictly object-oriented. The "RPC" portion of the acronym stands for Remote Procedure Call. RPC is very simple -- a user sends a request over the network to a specific location and receives a reponse. If this sounds suspiciously familar, it is -- the Web works this way. The death-knell for RPC was heard in the 1990s. Its developers were unable to standardize on the structure of data. Sun did try to implement a standard in XDR. It never quite caught on. With the rise of object-oriented programming, RPC fell into disfavor. By adding XML to the RPC portion, a standard, popular structure for data has been added to the process, breathing new life into RPC. So why use it?
Java and XML
The major, incontestable reason for using XML-RPC is that it works, and works well. With a very minimum of effort, a developer can install and use Python xmlrpclib, communicating with servers built in Python, PHP, Java, Perl, C++, and even COM. An entire chapter devoted to XML-RPC in the O'Reilly's best-selling Java and XML brought great attention to XML-RPC. In the Python world, the largest use of XML-RPC is via Zope. Zope has been able to send and respond to XML-RPC since mid-1999.

Web Client Programming in Python
Unlike other languages in its generation, Python has always had the ability to create persistent objects. It uses increasingly complex mechanisms to do so. These mechanisms range from the standard library package, "marshall," which converts simple objects for storage in flat files, to the "Zope Object Database," which rivals commercial Object-Oriented Databases (OODB) in its robustness. To "marshall" an object is to convert it into a different format. Within the context of xmlrpclib, marshalling a Python object means to convert it into an XML-RPC call. Unmarshalling is the reverse of that step.
Written by Fredrik Lundh of PythonWare, xmlrpclib hides all of the complexity in marshalling and unmarshalling objects. It goes beyond this to also hide the details of connecting to a server, sending a request, and receiving a response.
You can download the latest version of xmlrpclib.py (and get more information about the library) at the XML-RPC for Python page.
Editor's note: Meerkat predated the popularity of syndication, feed services, and feed readers. Now that other groups are providing this service, we have removed Meerkat in favor of their better solutions. We maintain these articles for the sense of historical interest.
Rael Dornfest, a driving force in the adoption of XML in the PHP arena, has quite naturally constructed an XML-RPC interface to Meerkat, an open wire service that collects news information from many sources using RSS. Let's use this readily available server for our examples. First we'll import the pretty print (
pprint) module from the Python Standard Library. Some of the output from Meerkat is quite lengthy.
>>> from pprint import pprint
After importing xmlrpclib, connecting to the server using xmlrpclib consists of one line:
>>> meerkatsvr = xmlrpclib.Server("http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/xml-rpc/server.php")
Here we create an instance of an XML-RPC server that understands how to connect, send, and receive XML-RPC. Through recursive "sleight-of-hand," this server can even understand nested XML-RPC requests.
Next, let's request a list of the methods that are available from the server:
>>> pprint(meerkatsvr.system.listMethods())
You have just used XML-RPC to connect to a server across the Internet and retrieve a result set. Besides the simplicity of the approach, notice that the form of the result set returned by xmlrpclib is a native Python list.
Meerkat groups RSS channels into topics, called categories. For example, channels related to XML are in category 23. If you want to get a list of channels for a specific topic, you can query Meerkat this way:
>>> pprint(meerkatsvr.meerkat.getChannelsByCategory(23))

In my web client programming article, I demonstrated how we could easily download a listing of all Meerkat articles related to Linux, using Python's powerful URLLIB and a very simple script. Let's revisit that task using xmlrpclib. Employing an even simpler script, we can eliminate some of the ambiguities and awkwardness of the former approach and make a more robust application.
Fire up a new interactive session in Python, import xmlrpclib, and create a server instance for interacting with the Meerkat server:
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> meerkatURI = http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/xml-rpc/server.php
>>> meerkatsvr = xmlrpclib.Server(meerkatURI)
Before we begin coding our updated solution, let's explore some features Rael Dornfest has built into the Meerkat XML-RPC server to document its capabilities. We've seen system.listMethods(). It returns an up-to-date list of the methods available on the server. You can obtain the method signature of any of these methods by calling methodSignature()
>>> meerkatsvr.system.methodSignature(methodname)
This returns a two-element array containing the return value and parameter(s) of the method named. Note that you should not include enclosing parentheses after the method name.
Dornfest also provides a means of obtaining help about any method on the server
>>> meerkatsvr.system.methodHelp(meerkat.getItems)
To see these and all the other methods available to XML-RPC clients of Meerkat, go to the Meerkat XML-RPC Interface Test page. Selecting introspection from the drop-down list will give you all methods available, with their documentation. The URI, as its name suggests, also tests the Meerkat XML-RPC Server, returning both the method call and the server response. Nice.
As you may recall, the objective of the program in my web client programming article was to obtain links to Linux articles from Meerkat over the past hour. After building the framework to access the server through URLLIB, we constructed the URI:
Imagine having to maintain the above line in an application! As a refresher, the URI tells Meerkat to give us all stories in the Linux category that have been posted in the last hour, using the minimal flavor. We want to further restrict the information coming back by eliminating the description, category, channel, and date fields. Let's replicate this functionality using xmlrpclib.
Declare a parameter list by constructing a Python dictionary (the same as a structure in XML-RPC):
>>> params = {
... 'category' : 7,
... 'time_period' : '1HOUR',
... 'descriptions' : 0,
... 'categories' : 0,
... 'channels' : 0,
... 'dates' : 0
The first two parameters define the scope of the information we desire. The last four act as switches, turning off the various components returned. Next, we'll call a method on the server to obtain the desired information
>>> results = meerkatsvr.meerkat.getItems(params)
This returns a list of dictionaries containing both the title and an HTML link for all Linux articles that have appeared on Meerkat over the last hour. If your request returns an empty list, increase the time period (e.g. 2HOUR or 1DAY).
Now, let's loop through this list and construct full-fledged HTML links to the articles:
>>> for d in results:
... print %s % (d[link],d[title])
This approach has given us several benefits. We have enhanced readability. We have less code. Presentation has been separated from data, allowing you to choose alternatives easily. Best of all, this approach has a distinctly Pythonic feel to it. Thanks to the functionality built into XML-RPC and xmlrpclib, the response from Meerkat is now Python data, with all the attendant flexibility: Pickle it, store it in a database, show it in a wxPython or Tkinter widget. Or even send it to another client via XML-RPC!
In the next article, I will dig deeper into the internals of xmlrpclib to show how Python objects are converted into XML-RPC requests and how return values are unmarshalled. We will also build an XML-RPC server that includes a testing framework.

Caution: Eagles at work
March 24, 2011 —
With the first sign of spring comes time for year-round resident birds to repair nests or build new ones in preparation for a new breeding season. For our resident eagles, that work has already begun over the course of the winter, and as of the beginning of March, a few pairs have already started to incubate eggs. Once incubation has started, the adults will share this duty until the eggs hatch about 35 days later. Rearing the young takes another 12 weeks or so until they are ready to fledge.
Eagles typically use the same nests year after year, but the rigors of this past winter's weather have caused some trees or nests to blow down. When this happens, the eagle pair will try to find another large super-canopy tree where they can build their nest (eyrie) 90 feet or so off the ground. Most of the nest trees in the Upper Delaware corridor are of the species Eastern white pine.
If you see a nest, please give it wide berth. Eagles are protected by state and federal laws, and they are most sensitive to disturbance during this time. There are a few organizations that enable people to view nesting eagles from a safe distance. Among them is the Bashakill Area Association at www.thebashakill.org/events.htm.

About this set: Here is my Tom "Terrific" Seaver Master Set. I was just a little kid in 1969 when the Mets won the World Series, but I was able to follow along in that magical season. From there on out, it was Tom Seaver and the Mets forever. My great Set includes over 120 "TOP POPS", which makes it my best set ever.Thank You to all the dealers at shows and on EBAY that helped me collect all these great Tom Seaver items. And I have learned to forgive the Mets trading away Tom Terrific for Pat Zachary,Doug Flynn,Dan Norman and Steve Henderson...but I hate looking at the cards where Tom is not wearing a Met Jersey.

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 53 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Stevie77 Feel like the wonderful person you are! The details and softness in material and design and colors make the gown and robe a treasure to have the opportunity to possess. September 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Countess Cindy Fair Maiden I feel like a fair maiden every time I wear this very romantic, lovely and oh so soft nightie. It is a confection. I just love it! September 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Short Grandma Long gown & short me! I love this gown. It's very comfortable and I know it will get more comfortable with the wearing and washing. My only problem is that it is a long gown (which I love), and I am only 5 feet tall. So, it drags the floor a little bit. Otherwise, it's great! August 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Elaine's sister So light, pretty, feminine I bought this as a gift for my sister (who swears by this particular nightgown and wears it all year round). But it is such a pretty garment and has such a great style that I may wind up getting another one for myself! July 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 2012 Heirloom Dreams This nightgown is as beautiful in real life as it was in the catalogue picture! The sizing is a great fit. The material is light for those hot nights. Stitching is quality work. Absolutely love it! June 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Meggie Jane Very pretty I bought this in white along with the long sleeved matching robe and pink slippers. I absolutely LOVE each piece of my bedtime ensemble. I used to have two similar gowns, one sleeveless like this and one with long sleeves like the robe and have looked everywhere for new ones like these for over 10 years with no luck until now! The quality surprised me as it is very good. The day it all arrived, I tried it on and didn't want to take it off! I want to get another whole set because I wear it every night now and fear I am washing it too much. It has held up great though. I wash in cold water, delicate cycle in a HE washer. Then hang outside so it smells like the summer day when I put it on at night. I also don't want to get dressed in the morning now!! It is just so comfortable and pretty. It makes me feel pretty. I think it runs a little big and I ordered a large just to make sure it would be comfortable for sleeping. I could have easily been comfortable in a small, but I'm not sending these back!! I am 5'4" and weigh about 135 pounds just to help you determine your size. This is the first time I have ever ordered from VCS and I am so happy and can't wait to order more!! It arrived much quicker than I expected which was also a welcome surprise! June 11, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by miapia66 Might be nice for others but not me I have saved for a long time to get this nightgown. I had one similar that I bought at a local store (not an Eileen West) that I had for 14 years and loved it. I was so excited to get this gown and was SO disappointed. It isn't soft at all. It is long and cool and nice to look at but isn't soft as my other one was (and that one was half the cost of this gown). It is also a size too big (I wear a XL and ordered that size but this is too big on me) and before I could return it, my husband washed it so I couldn't get my money back or exchange it for a smaller size. Not worth the money in my opinion and I will not be returning as a sleep wear customer June 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jlvandenhurk Prettier than I imagined! I haven't bought a nice summer nightgown in years so I finally decided to look for a nice one. I wanted good quality and this is definitely excellent quality. But in addition, it's pretty and feminine! The embroidery details are meticulously done and show beautiful craftsmanship! Couldn't be happier. June 8, 2016

Hal Holbrook was once television's go-to guy to portray Abraham Lincoln.
He starred in the six-part "Lincoln" in 1974, considered the first TV miniseries, based on Carl Sandburg's biography, and again in 1985 in the miniseries "North and South" and its sequel. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Senate passes bill boosting workforce training
Scheduled to take up Gov. Walker's proposals
The Wisconsin Senate has passed one of Gov. Scott Walker's proposals to bolster funding for workforce training while also creating a new database to better match job seekers with spots available.
The proposal passed on a unanimous vote Tuesday. It also easily cleared the Assembly on a bipartisan 94-4 vote last week.
The measure would make $15 million available for job training grants over the next two years.
Public and private organizations that provide matching funds would be eligible for grants, which could be used to train both new and current employees.
The state Department of Workforce Development would oversee the grants and also create the new database to help fill jobs in high-demand areas.
The bill now heads to Walker for his consideration.

OMG! Sandy Koufax at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live
A friend on the train was reading the L.A. Times sport section before me and he tells me "Emma, did you know that Sandy Koufax will be at the Nokia Theatre?" I was like "OMG! OMG!" Yeah.. they looked at me weird. Well, I told them, you could get excited about a concert. I can get excited about this!
18 months ago (before I started this blog), there was similar event at the Nokia Threatre put together by T.J. Simers of the L.A. Times to benefit Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA. The speakers were Vin Scully and John Wooden. The minute I found out about it, I purchased my ticket for that event! It was a night that I will never forget.
Once again, T.J. Simers will moderate a conversation, this time with Sandy Koufax and Joe Torre.
As soon as I got to work, I ordered my ticket for this event on Saturday February 27. Actually, there was an email waiting for me that I could purchase tickets prior to the general public sale because I had purchased the the Scully/Wooden event.
Sandy Koufax! OMG! The money raised will go to Safe At Home, Torre's foundation to end the cycle of domestic abuse. Ticket prices go from $25 to $200.
Joe Torre who is in shock that Sandy accepted said "I didn't think he would," "This really is a friend indeed. He said he would do it for me and I' touched."
I am so looking forward to this!
p.s. I was preparing to blog about something else, but it can wait, besides is taking a little longer to prepare that cause I have to look into a lot of MLB players bio.
Sandy Koufax! OMG!
article from T.J. Simers
17 Comments
That is great news.
I remember seeing him down here in Florida one time, and I was too intimidated to go up and ask for his autograph even though the game had not started yet.
Koufax is my second favorite lefties of my lifetime. Sorry, but Randy Johnson get the first spot not because he smashed a bird, but made John Kruk look like a major league weinie.
Hope he does some autogrpahs for those in attendance.
Two Thumbs up for Sandy for helping with the charity event!
Rays Renegade
Oh Cliff, if someone would intidate me, it would Sandy Koufax. When I talked to Vin Scully in Arizona, my brother Vic and my friend LTD23 said I looked nervous. Is not an autograph session, as it was not when we went to the Vin Scully/John Wooden event but still I am so excited to attend! I would not even care if I got an autograph, as long as I would shake his hand.
OMG is right, Emma. I would have bought a ticket to that too. You'll have to give us a full blog post about what Sandy talked about. Maybe pics too? Very exciting.
Sandy Koufax at a theater, how wonderful. I thought he was going to watch an american football game at first. I hope you're doing well.
Matthew Tang
You could still come! Torre will be there too. There is also a special VIP dinner event with Koufax and Torre but the prices start at $2500
We just get to listen to Koufax and Joe Torre talk with T.J. Simers as the moderator! The Vin Scully/John Wooden event was similar.
I saw Sandy Koufax at a playoff game once and I literally jumped out of my seat and yelled "THAT'S SANDY KOUFAX!". I have only heard of how amazing he was because I haven't had the great pleasure of watching him pitch. He seems like such a private person because as far as I know he isn't in the public eye as much as others so when I saw him it was pretty shocking. WOW! That's great news for you! How exciting!! I was just excited watching him on tv and how lucky for you!
Koufax! WOW! I can see why you'd be excited–I'd be psyched! Too cool!
(Seeing Vin Scully and John Wooden ain't too shabby, either!)😉
I'm with Jane–pics would be great! Have fun!
Sandy remains my dad's favorite pitcher of all time (my dad's a die-hard Cardinal fan who came up during the Gibson era, so that's sayin' a lot)… still says he never saw a finer pitcher on the mound… now he'll be at the Nokia! Enjoy!
Sandy would not do it if it was not for charity and for very special people.
I was shocked like a lot of people that he agreed to do this as he is an extremely private person. And your reaction when you saw him on TV are line mine when I see him that he attends some games🙂.
I've been grinning from ear to ear since I found out about this event! Let's see if they let me in with my camera. At least my blackberry.
Yeah, that is saying a lot! Your dad is very fortunate that he got to see Gibson and Koufax.
I am so excited!!!!
Wow Emma, that is really cool! Whether or not you get an autograph, just to hear the stories of his playing days would be a treat. We'll expect a full report, of course🙂 !
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
This is such a rare event! I can't wait for the stories told by Sandy!
I just hope T.J. Simers behaves with the questions.
I can't wait to read your account of the event. Sounds amazing! You've posted about Sandy many times before, and I respect him more and more each time I read your thoughts on him. He truly was an amazing ballplayer. Thanks for always elping me learn a little more about Koufax!
-Fenway Bleacher Creature
Ahhhh. that was so sweet. Thanks! Glad to have you back posting! And I definitely will post my account of the event!
my fovorite Sandy Koufax quote, " Show me a guy who can't pitch inside and I'll show you a Looser!" mike
Excellent quote Mike!
I just updated this with a new picture of Sandy Koufax. The other one was not working.
Ahhh, let's than two weeks for this event!

Directed by Bruno Ve Sota
Ed Nelson as Dr. Paul Kettering
Alan Jay Factor as Glenn Cameron
Cornelius Keefe as Senator Walter K. Powers
Joanne Lee as Alice Summers
Robert Ball as Dan Walker
First sight of the "aliens"
Ed Nelson as Dr. Paul Kettering
". . . A victim may act normally."
Dr. Kettering on the scaffolding
Just before pulling the lateral and preverbal trigger on his plan, Kettering sees Alice standing high up in the scaffolding, still dressed in her flimsy nightgown (she was brain-linked by a parasite while sleeping in her bed). She calls to him, urging him to come to her.Kettering hands the cable-shooting rifle to Cameron and rushes to the scaffolding. Shot against the arc lights of the skeletal scaffolding, we watch Kettering climb up and onto the planks near the entrance. Alice, her thin negligee whirling around her - backlit by the bright lights, snarls at Kettering. Her face now distorted with hatred, she pulls a revolver from somewhere and shoots Kettering, who clutches his belly then rushes to Alice with his dying efforts. She screams as he pulls the parasite off her back, freeing her, and killing her, in the same action. As the two struggle in their death spasms, Kettering screams for Cameron to shoot the gun.After a bitter argument with Powers ("He's as good as dead! Shoot the Gun!"), Cameron steels himself and fires. The cable makes an arc, drapes itself over the high-tension wires, and falls into place. The night becomes bright with the flashing of electricity and the crackle of burning ozone. Everyone shields their eyes as white light washes out everything. We see Kettering drop dead from the scaffolding like a stone, his struggle for life short circuited in an instant. Inside the ship, we see Professor Cole, despite his high order, throw up his hands and vanish in a scorching flash of white. We watch the parasites writhing and whipping around their antennae fangs frantically as they fry.After the sizzling dies down, Senator Powers and Glenn enter the ship, quickly concluding that everything inside is dead as they waft away clouds of burnt parasite. How about the townsfolk still walking around Riverdale, taken over by the parasites? wonders Cameron. Don't you worry about that little detail, assures the senator. "Watch my dust," says Powers, a bit oddly. "I'll get them, or you don't know Walter K. Powers!" (I challenge anyone to sit through this movie without calling the senator, at least once, an ass hole). One is left to imagine the senator, going pure homicidal, marching through the streets of Riverdale with is aide, the reptilian-like Dan Walker - both of them armed with axes and hacking wildly at the backs of the parasitic citizenry. Remember, nearly the entire town has gone parasite. Surely after hours of diligent work the pair would be laughing and giggling hysterically, drenched head to toe in blood; perhaps even given to a mistake now and then in their fervor.The film ends with Powers marching off toward town, eager to begin the slaughter; while Cameron and his ineffectual fiancé (all fiancé Elaine has done through the entire movie is look worried, confused, or just flat stupid) hold one another in the traditional atomic age "we have overcome" final embrace. Music swells, and the pair stroll off to a life of quite TV diners, a nice split-level, and a couple of kids.Despite this "happy" ending (actually, we have never given a shit about either Cameron or his extremely dull fiancé - the two interesting people in the picture - kettering and Alice - die horribly unhappy deaths), The Brain Eaters is a very grim and gritty 60 minutes. Like Hobbes solitary life of man, the movie is "poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Which certainly isn't necessarily a bad thing at all.Which takes us straight into the Good Stuff!The Good Stuff, Part I: The B-world of Bruno Ve SotaBruno Ve Sota is best remembered by atomic age B-movie fans for his excellent portrayal of Dave Walker - Yvette Vickers cuckolded, shotgun-wielding husband in Attack of the Giant Leeches (Bernard Kowalski, 1959). In Fact, throughout the 1950s, Ve Sota was a member of Roger Corman's unofficial stock company, appearing in bit parts in many of the legendary movie maker's quickies (Bucket of Blood, The Wasp Woman, War of the Satellites, Teenage Doll, etc.).Roger Corman was the executive producer of Brain Eaters, and recruited Ve Sota as director (previously, Ve Sota had directed Female Jungle in 1955) presuming, I imagine, that De Sota could work quick and cheap. In a 1976 interview with actor and writer, Barry Brown, Ve Sota made the following pertinent points:
- The Brain Eaters was shot in six days for $26,000.
- Ed Nelson, star of Brain Eaters, and Ve Sota were acting buddies, having worked together on Corman's Teenage Doll (Nelson would go on to a successful career in television, becoming a hot property due to his work on Peyton Place.
- Ed Nelson created the parasites for Brain Eaters. He glued fur onto a child's toy - a windup metallic ladybug popular at the time - and used pipe cleaners for the antennas.
- The cone in Brain Eaters was a one-sided wooden structure about 50 feet tall, built by a local lumber company. It was originally covered with a shiny, silver paper to make it look metallic. One evening some kids playing in the hills around Pomona (where the movie was filmed) spotted the thing and peppered it with rocks (the little shits). Ve Sota and company had to cover the thing with galvanized tin to resist these nightly attacks. In all, the cone was built for about $500.
- The part of Dr. Kettering was to have been played by Brain scriptwriter, Gordon Urquhart, who died of cancer before production began. Corman suggested Ed Nelson (also a member of the Corman company) who Corman liked for his commitment and enthusiasm to any project given him.
- Leonard Nimoy came to the project via a friendship with Ed Nelson, who thought of Nimoy as a great "character man." During filming, Ve Sota, who had extensive training in radio and had once supplied the voice of Winston Churchill in a radio production, taught Nimoy some vocal tricks to sound like an old man.
Senator Walter K. Powers and aide, Dan Walker

Thanks ladies for all the great advice....
Thanks ladies for all the great advice....
We've made it 1 YEAR
A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three. ~Grantly Dick-Read
Married to DH since 2001
Mommy to Mikki 2006
Mommy to Xander 2008
I hear you!!! I feel the same way! There is so much to get done and not enough time for it all...and who gets left behind? We do...I am lucky some days to be out of my pjs by 1pm My kids will be dressed and fed, but I am cleaning the house or packing things for a day at the park. It is exhausting and I do feel guilty, especially when i get short-tempered with my husband or even the kids. Being a mother is a full-time job, but how do you manage that and another full-time job?! Just know that you are NOT alone---there are many of us that are going through the same thing.
You're not alone...I am getting so frustrated with EVERYTHING! There's so much to do and I feel like I am the only one that can get it done...on top of that, I still haven't been able to concentrate on myself, to try to get back into some sort of post-prego shape ;( For me, what has helped is mentally telling myself that this is just a stage in my life and things will get better...baby will be older and in a better routine, my breasts won't ache as much, a fairy will come to clean the house--LOL!
Hope you feel better knowing that many other moms have those same feelings
My son is seven months, and I feel the same way, though I feel like in the last month or so, my husband and I have gotten into enough a routine that there is some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. I've started riding my bike to work (combining commute + exercise), baby is in great routine, breast feeding is a no brainer. It's not easy, this life, and you have got to speak up if you feel like you need more time. My DH is much better about taking time he needs for himself; I tend to put everyone's needs before mine. you don't want to become tired, frustrated, nagging, etc. It's bad for you, it's bad for your marriage, it's bad for your children. I keep telling myself, this is not my burden, these are my gifts. But to keep feeling that way, I need a breather now and then!
DS Ethan 12/16/2008
Breast fed/pumped 11 months as a surgical resident, 80 hours a week at work
DS Abram Daniel 12/20/2012
Feel like we've gotten a strong start
So I took some time yesterday to do something for me...
DS and I went to a LLL meeting....It actually made me feel better...
Oh, and I actually took 30mins the other day while DH watched the kids, I locked myself in my room and gave myself a manicure and pedicure!!!
Next time, I go to the salon!!!

What is botanical medicine? Simply put, they are plants (or substances that come from plants) that are used to treat or prevent disease. Plants have been used in this way in all cultures from pre-history on.
Many people use the term herbal remedies, which is fine. We call them botanicals because, technically, the term botanical medicine is more inclusive and includes plant parts that are not strictly herbs, such as bark, seeds, roots, and stems.
Dietary supplement is a government category that determines how substances are sold and regulated. Some fast facts:
Have you ever wondered if a botanical really works? Or if there were any risks in taking it? Or even if the brand you are taking is good? These are all great questions that deserve answers.
Research shows that many botanical medicines offer health benefits, often without some of the risks or side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. However:
In short, learning about botanical medicines can help you get the most benefit while reducing the risks.
You are not alone in your interests in botanical medicines. In the U.S., botanical medicines are one of the most popular and rapidly growing of all complementary therapies. In 2010, the global retail sale of botanical dietary supplements amounted to more than $25 billion, according to Nutraceuticals World. With this buying power, the more the American public knows about botanicals, the more it can influence good government regulations and reward manufacturers who produce quality products.

WLU A.D. arrested following tourney
CHARLESTON – West Liberty University Athletic Director James Watson and two student-athletes are free on bond today after they were arrested Saturday night following a conference championship victory by the men's basketball team.
Watson, 66, was arraigned by a Kanawha County magistrate on charges of obstructing and battery on an officer, both misdemeanors. He was released Sunday morning from the South Central Regional Jail in Charleston after posting $2,000 bond.
In a statement released Sunday, West Liberty University President Robin Capehart offered his full support of Watson.
"Jim Watson is a dignified, well-respected gentleman who has been nationally recognized as an athletics administrator during four decades of dedicated service. West Liberty University, and I personally, fully support Jim. Based on the account of more than two dozen eyewitnesses to whom I've spoken, we look forward to the judicial process with regard to this matter," the statement reads.
Tyler Tucci, 22, a member of the Hilltoppers football team, and Gabrielle Davis, 21, a member of the volleyball team, were also arrested and charged with obstructing. They were both released on personal recognizance.
Watson's son, Brian Watson, 28, was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and fleeing on foot. He was released after posting $4,000 bond Sunday morning.
The arrests came after Charleston police responded to a disturbance call around 10:30 p.m. Saturday at the Embassy Suites, where the basketball team was staying. No other details about the arrest were made available on Sunday.
Prior to the arrests on Saturday, the No. 1 ranked Hilltoppers won their third straight West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship at the Charleston Civic Center.
James Watson, who was hired as the school's baseball coach and athletic trainer in 1971, is in his 23rd year as athletic director.

Since the beginning of the current year the senior team has been working on a rebranding of the Xenocide Project, mostly because we believe that as the Project matures a more professional look is needed. Part of that image is our public web site as well as our logo. This operation has been performed undercover to give a surprise to the whole community; it took time and resources to get the new site up and running but after all we think the new identity is a clear reflection of what we think is an initial step into a more professional looking team.
The site has been rebuilt from scratch to minimize the work needed for keeping it up to date. Currently it doesnt feature any dynamic functionality due to our believe that an early release would benefit the project the most; nevertheless now we are open to contribution from anyone with experience in Java and MySQL to implement the required functionality allowing us a simplified updating of the site with the community information.
I would like to say thanks too to Vaaish and Mad for the design and coding of the new site and logo and all the effort they have put into it.

It's an unassuming venue, hidden away from the bright lights of Corpus Christi, and, if it wasn't for the huge "H.A.R.D. House" sign above the place, no one would ever think twice about it.
But it's what's inside the converted reception hall that draws hundreds of fans to its now-hallowed halls.
It's the roar of the skates echoing against the concrete walls. The sound of bodies slamming into one another. The athletes smashing into the chairs and fans. The slap of flesh against the hardwood floor. The cheers. The jeers. The sweat and lack of tears.
And, of course, it's about the girls. These brawling beauties are bad.
Michael Jackson bad.
But they're bad for the better good as Saturday's bout was the annual "H.A.R.D. for the Cure" recruitment event.
One of the veteran brawlers, Jo Anne Estrada, aka D'Manda Kiss, explained the event. "We're here to try and raise awareness about cancer and make a donation to one of the local cancer charities. We usually donate about $500."
The H.A.R.D. league invited roller derby girls from all over South Texas to participate in the event.
Estrada said, "We have a lot of different skaters here today. This a mash-up bout, so we invite skaters from all over the state of Texas to come down.
"I know for sure we have some skaters from Austin, San Antonio and McAllen.
"The fans really like it, because they never know what to expect when they have visiting skaters and they're playing with us and not against us."
Estrada joined H.A.R.D. in 2008 and can be seen in Beeville and the surrounding counties as she is the criminal justice advocate for the Women's Shelter of South Texas.
A strangely fitting career choice to say the least.
"I've been skating since I was a child," Estrada reminisced.
"I used to watch roller derby when I was a kid, and we'd go to the skating rink, because that's what we did on Friday nights.
"When roller derby started coming back, I definitely wanted to be involved."
And it does come with its share of perks.
"Of course, being able to booty block people and shove them out of the ring and into the chairs is always a lot of fun."
When the girls rolled out from the dressing room that night, they all held signs with the names of family and friends that they had lost to cancer or were fighting the disease.
And the event held special significance for one of the rowdy rollers who had helped a complete stranger survive the illness.
Through tear-filled eyes, Brandi South, aka Becuz I Can, talked about her unexpected life-saving experience a few years back.
"When I was in high school, there was a young man that needed a bone marrow transplant and we could sign up to find out if we were a donor, so I did and forgot all about it," South remembered.
"Four years later, I get a call that says I'm a possible match for this young lady, and it blew my mind.
"It was for a 15-year-old girl who had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
"I donated my bone marrow, and the last I heard anything about the girl, her body had accepted the transplant, and she was doing well."
The "Be the Match" organization was on hand to encourage fans and skaters alike to sign up for their national registry and help make South's tale a common one.
After the girls did their warm-up laps and stretched, the national anthem was sung with the skaters stomping their skates to the beat of the final lines, signifying the start of one electrifying night.
The rules are relatively simple for roller derby.
The sport is played by two, five-member teams skating around a track.
The game play consists of a series of two-minute jams in which both teams' "jammers" score points by lapping their opponents team.
The "blockers" attempt to assist their own jammer while hindering the opposing team's jammer.
Players can also receive penalties and must sit out for one minute, causing their team to play minus one person.
And when the first whistle blows, the blockers slowly roll off the starting point, their eyes honed in on the jammers behind them.
The two whistle blows following send the jammers off, and the game is on.
They furiously roll around the ring in dizzying speeds. Elbows fly, bodies are shoved, the girls slide all over the ring, and sometimes the fans get lapfuls of derby girls... or skates to their shins.
The women are heavily padded and don helmets and mouth guards, because they do get pretty rowdy, and, yes, fights do break out often.
And though the sport is constantly compared to the type of professional wrestling found on cable television, it's more along the lines of Monday Night Football. It's hard, fast and unrelenting.
These girls know how to take a beating and keep on skating.
"I think it's very popular with young women, because it's kind of an empowering feeling," Estrada said. "It just makes you feel strong and powerful to be able to be on skates and play such an aggressive sport.
"Plus, we get to wear fishnets and tutus, and that's always fun."
The H.A.R.D. girls are always looking for new recruits.
They host a roller derby boot camp a few times a year before tryouts to make sure the young ladies know what they're getting into.
They also have a junior league known as the H.A.R.D Brats.

If you want to celebrate this holiday by displaying a flag, then contact your local veterans organizations and service organizations like the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The proper way to fold a flag includes folding the flag in half width-wise twice. Fold up a triangle, starting at the striped end, and repeat until only the end of the union is exposed. Then fold down the square into a triangle and tuck inside the folds.
Display Your Flag Properly
According to the flag etiquette website, here is the proper way to display a flag:
- When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.
- The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right; the flag's own right and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.
- The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be raised again to the peak before it is lowered for the day.
- When flags of states, cities or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the right of the flag of the United States.
- When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.
- When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff.
- When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be placed so that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.
- When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right; that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, it should be displayed in the same way; that is, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.
- When carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, the American flag should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.
- The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.
- When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right of the audience.

The daily schedule for a drug addict often is focused solely on chasing a high:
1. Wake up groggy from too many sleeping pills because your sleep schedule is completely trashed from long-term opiate use. Check for any pills under the bed. Check all hiding spots you might have forgotten.
2. Knowing your cupboard was empty, you check again anyway. Finding nothing, you panic.
3. Suddenly, you notice a number of phantom symptoms such as restless leg syndrome, migraine headache, back pain and a strange numbness in your fingertips. You also feel like you might have the flu.
4. Believe all symptoms.
5. Check under the bed for pills again because you forgot you already did that.
6. Rummage through drawers or on the floor to find any open prescriptions for anything.
7. Notice you're having a panic attack and call your psychiatrist at 6 a.m. for an emergency appointment. Call again at 7:30 and 8. Insult the receptionist when she returns your call at 9. Demand a refill on your anxiety medication.
8. Call one of your pharmacies to tell them you "lost" your prescription for pain medication, but you forgot you already tried that two days ago. They threaten to call the police.
9. Call your friend with whom you trade pain meds to see if he has any extra after all you've done for him.
10. Call your parents to tell them you're job hunting today and could they possibly loan you $50 to fill your tank. After all, how can you be expected to get a job if you can't get there?
11. Drive to parent's house and collect money.
12. Steal your mom's sleeping pills, raid the refrigerator and grab your sister's laptop to trade for pills later.
13. Leave immediately for friend's house to get pills.
14. Score drugs and get high, or at least get some relief from the withdrawal symptoms.
15. Drink a few of your friend's beers, smoke some of his weed, play video games and consider stealing his TV when he's not home.
16. Drive home, get high.
17. Take your Mom's sleeping pills and fall asleep.
18. Wake up the next day feeling groggy, anxious and hopeless. Try desperately to remember all the lies you told yesterday so you don't get caught.
19. Repeat steps 1 through 17.

Milwaukee Brewers (44-50) at Philadelphia Phillies (41-54)
Randy Wolf ( 3-6, 5.60) vs. Roy Halladay (4-5, 3.96)
Time: 7:05, Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Overcast/T'Storms, 88
Media: Twitter and Facebook
The Brewers are in town as the Phillies look to work their way back into wild card contention? Is it possible? Charlie Manuel is still holding out hope. He seemed relatively positive before the game knowing the team is nearly fully healthy. However, with the trade deadline looming, how long will they all be together for?
The feeling around the park is that Hamels will sign. I was feeling 70/30 before this past weekend, but after hearing his quotes, I've lessened my stance a bit. Still, there is no time to mess around. Just about a week until the deadline.
For tonight, Placido Polanco is out with a sore back, which he started feeling last week. You've got to wonder how much Polly has left in the tank. He has just 17 extra-base hits this season. He's no power hitter, but even for him that's weak. They'll give him a rest and let Ty Wigginton play tonight.
The Phillies will try to tee off on Randy Wolf. Wigginton has really good numbers against him (10-for-30), as does Juan Pierre, who is not in the lineup, for some reason. Pierre hits Wolf at a .412 clip, but Mayberry will start.
LINEUP: Rollins SS, Victorino CF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Ruiz C, Pence RF, Wigginton 3B, Mayberry LF, Blanton P.
Your Gameday Beer – Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale
Anything Sierra is a friend of mine. If you're into barleywines, which I'm not, I've heard this is a good one. I'll ride with SN because they just make damned good beers. It's a gold medal winning brew just about everywhere, but be forewarned – it will put you on your ass. At 9.6 ABV, it's strong. And it's pretty bitter, so have one, then reassess.

I've been giving some thought today to the school of thought that Vic might not be dealt so quickly. This Quentin signing adds another 3 year OF committment, like Willingham, and Cuddyer, the market seems reasonably fixed for now. This might not thrill Shane, but at 10 mil for 3 years, he's right in line with the market.
He won't have quite the chance to showcase a season ending recovery now. With the Yanks acquiring Ichiro, that's one less suitor.
Looks like the trade winds are clsoing in on whatever extent they will provide a hurrican warning. At least Ruben will enter the game when less supply is for the taking. Or so it seems. I figure that's Thursday, after the Cole conclusion.
Even though I'm not sure these thoughts belong on this thread, I have to admit that they are definitely thoughts worth considering. The market does appear to be thinning some.
However, it's also worth thinking that Victorino just wasn't quite the type of player the Yanks really wanted, price considerations or no price considerations. He might be perceived as a better fit by a different team.
Thank god
Chris Wheeler is back.
I missed him.
I saw Chris Wheeler drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's,
And his hair was perfect.
woo hoo
I love Hunter but if he cant field his position.
you either need t work with him so that he can or you need to move him.
This is 2 runs because he cant field his position
and all these extra pitches (25) on Doc who is already on a limit
If the phils lose
Does he get a -1 on his war?
Its rough to see Doc this way. He hasn't even hit 90 and he needs to be in the low 90's to be effective.
Getting doc was a good move. Great job to the jays. Breaking down
Old man.
This nightmare season cannot end soon enough for me. Let's take a poll: who can field better: Pence or a little leaguer? In betting the house on the little leaguer. Time to drink heavily. Go Phils ( sound with a whimper of a wounded dog.)
I get your frustration based on tonight's contribution to the frustration, but I've felt all along since 6-2 the Phils will make a run at it tonight. Understood about the lack of comebacks, and all that good stuff, but I look at the Crew pen, and I don't see the game being over. Course they haven't done much since they fell behind, but Randy's about done.
Guess I sort of implied the Phils pen would hold 'em. That's called Risky Business, but that's my thinking watching the game so far, disappointing as it is.
Big hit here Chooch –
Sad to say, you couldn't throw a better pitch than Axford did to nail Chooch in a reasonably high drama 10 pitch at bat.
Phils might lose tonight, and it's small consolation, but at least they aren't lifeless, like they have been in many defeats.
Still have a shot, maybe even including RyHo getting another at bat, and doing something good. Tough K that inning that could have really been a huge connection.
Ken, I'm with ya brother. Trying to remain faithful, but it is getting tough. Almost as tough as enduring TMac and Sarge's brain farts, I mean labored breathing. Lol.
Nice to see a breath of optimism Ken but tonight it isn't happening.
Anyone notice that in July, Hunter Pence is 12 for 62 with 1 extra base hit. His slugging percentage is now .244 for the month.
No, but I was just looking at the in game box, and noticed his average was down to .268, so it's not surprising.
The 4 guys pitching tonight so far's seasons ERAs were what caught my real attention.
I'd have killed for grade point averages like those back in the day. Doc's at 4.32 now, if my memory from a minute ago is accurate.
Games like this remind me that they have no shot to make .500 let alone the playoffs
I didn't write it at the beginning of the inning, but I was thinking the goal is to get to Chooch as the winning run. Might could kinda sorta almost get there at this rate.
Juan Pierre has been a diamond in the rough this season. Kudos to him. C'mon Utley.
This what we pay good money to see right? Utley then Howard with a chance to tie or go ahead late in the game – and its happened before.
Base loade Ryan…(fingers crossed)
Dr. Joyce Brothers would define that as a psychological orgasm when Ryan Howard beats the shift.
That's cool stuff.
Pence is up, huh? That's okay, but frankly, I'd pinch hit Brian Schneider here.
Wouldn't even care that he's not on the roster.
Let him hit anyway.
Its not the first time we slapped our old buddy FROD around and it wont be the last
Damn, Hunter took that last pitch? What a pleasant surprise.
Good at bat.
Helped by a pitcher pitching to the tune of a bad inning.
Despite my earlier comment, you never turn the games off
We are familiar with the pain!
Time for Wiggy to be the hero!
Holy $hit! They did it! F'in awesome!
cue up High Hopes, and open Tracey's mike.
Rock solid effort.
6-4 since the break.
A win in the 12th yesterday – 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win tonight – what in the blazes is going on here?
1. Phillies
2. Philadelphia
3. Us

2. Milwaukee

I've been eliminating things from my diet to find out what has been causing D's eczema and spitting up. So far eggs, dairy and soy are out. D just had his 6 month visit and because of what I've been going through the Pediatrician recommended I introduce solids very conservatively, starting with rice cereal. I will say that my Pediatrician is typically very laid back. As long as my children are healthy, he doesn't question my methods and only gives advice when asked. So I trust his judgement on taking solids a little more carefully than I did with MK - I never waited to introduce foods, did BLS and never really thought about it. But then again she showed no signs of any allergy or intolerance.
My question is, those of you who have children with allergies and intolerances, what did you start with? How did you work solids?

New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints are a professional football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana and are the current champions of the National League and play in the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC).
The Saints were founded on November 1, 1966 as an expansion team and played their home games at Tulane Stadium through the 1974 season. They went more than a decade before they managed to finish a season with a .500 record, two decades before having a winning season, and over four decades before reaching the Super Bowl.
Since 1975, the Saints' home stadium has been the Louisiana Superdome, except for the 2005 disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Early history
One of the franchise's shining moments came on November 8, 1970, when Tom Dempsey kicked a League record-breaking 63-yard field goal to defeat the Detroit Lions by a score of 19–17 in the final seconds of the game. This record, although equaled 29 years later by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos, has yet to be broken.
In 1980, the Saints lost their first 14 games, prompting local sportscaster Bernard "Buddy D" Diliberto to advise Saints supporters to wear paper bags over their heads at the team's home games; many bags rendered the club's name as the "'Aints" rather than the "Saints." The practice of wearing a bag over one's head then spread rapidly, first to fans of other poorly performing teams within the League, and ultimately to those of other American team sports, and has become a firmly established custom throughout the United States.
Hurricane Katrina
Due to the damage Hurricane Katrina caused to the Superdome and the New Orleans area, the Saints scheduled 2005 home opener against the New York Giants was moved to Giants Stadium. The remainder of their 2005 home games were split between the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The Sean Payton & Drew Brees Era
Saints owner Tom Benson announced that the team had sold out the Louisiana Superdome for the entire season with season tickets alone (70,001 seats), a first in franchise history.
On December 17, 2006, the Saints clinched their third division title and their first NFC South title in franchise history. For the first time in Saints' history, they clinched their NFC South title on their home field. Sean Payton became the second consecutive Saints coach to win a division title in his first season. After a loss by the Dallas Cowboys to the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day 2006, the Saints clinched a first-round playoff bye for the first time in franchise history.
The Saints announced that for the second year in a row, the Louisiana Superdome had sold out every ticket for the season. Additionally, all luxury boxes had been sold out for the season. Both of these statistics are particularly surprising given that the city-proper has about 300,000 people or 150,000 fewer people than July 2005 population data (though the metro area still accounts for 1.2 million people).
The 2009 season was the team's most successful season, which culminated in the franchise's first league championship win against the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. Although its opponents would include winners of 9 of the last 15 MVP awards, the team advanced to the 2009 NFC Championship game where they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31–28 in overtime, and then went on to win their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. Television ratings for Super Bowl 44 were the highest for any TV program, sports or otherwise, in history. Since the win, two media writers have referred to the Saints as "America's Team", as their successful bid to win the Super Bowl was seen by many to represent the city's resurgence after the devastating Hurricane Katrina.

text: I am a new mom to a 9 week old baby. I have been breastfeeding her. I have introduced her to bottles at 2 weeks as she did not have any latching issues. Now, I am about to go back to work in a week, my baby began to have issues with bottles. My pediatrician recommended to bottle feed the baby during the working hours. I have soaked the bottle nipple in my breast milk and wrapped her in my clothes. It doesn't matter who gives her the bottles, my baby screams and refuses to take bottles. I make sure the bottles are warm up good. We tried to use 5 different bottles (VentAire, Playtex drop in system, Medela, Breastflow, and Dr. Brown). My baby gags and screams, so I changed the feeding nipple to preemie flow. I made sure that the baby was hungry enough, but not too hungry that she'd get upset to take the bottle. It has been struggle for a few weeks now. She may take 1 oz to 2 oz in 30 minutes. We were so focused on her colic issue, now she is about to be over with the colic, we weren't anticipating more feedig challenges... My in-laws are going to watch the baby while I go back to work full-time. I really hate the thought of my baby refusing to eat while I am at work. I hate to think that "she'll eat when she gets hungry enough". Do you have any suggestions? Some people suggested to use Adiri Natural Nurser. I haven't tried it. Please help us. I have consulted with a lactation consultant at a local hospital. We tried everything that we can think of.... we are so lost.

Fantasy Guru Daily: 6/20/11
We consider ourselves lucky when there are actually headlines to digest from the weekend in the NFL, and although there is no deal on the horizon just yet, the little bits of news leaking out suggest that teams are getting ready for their abbreviated off-season programs. We can only hope.
Dolphins changing their tune on Henne… Well, they kind of have to considering the lockout, but the Dolphins have gone from "well, Maybe Chad Henne will start" to "yes, he has a good chance to start," as head coach Tony Sparano insinuated this week. Sparano fed the Miami Herald the usual PR spin regarding his QB, suggesting that his numbers match up well enough with top QBs (they don't), but he also indicated that Henne must cut down on the dumb turnovers, the throws where he's trying to make an impossible play happen. Sparano also wants better accuracy down the field – Henne completed just 25% of his 40 passes of 20 yards or more, and his big arm isn't going to go to much use if all his deep throws are incomplete. Perhaps raw but speedy rookie receiver Edmond Gates will help matters, if Henne actually starts. Anyway, we hope [...]

Shining Star: University High's Kayleigh Valley
Duck and cover... that's probably your safest bet every time Kayleigh Valley attacks the net.
"I don't know the adrenaline starts pumping," Valley said. "It feels like you're actually going to win the match, that you got that set, so it's kind of exciting."
Kayleigh's also been exciting to watch on the basketball court, which is where she will continue her career at the next level.
"I've actually made a commitment to play basketball at the University of Montana," said Valley.
"A kid that can go play division one in either sport, volleyball or basketball, it doesn't happen very often, " said Titans head coach Mark Weis. "We've had a few of them come through University, but for me, this is my first one."
That wasn't the only tough decision Kayleigh had to make. She was also responsible for selecting the team shoes, a choice that stood out in the GSL.
"I'm telling you what, that was a great call, " Weis said. "At first people were like coach are you really going to let them do that? I said 'hey it's their call, its their season. Its synonymous with us just being different and wanting to have fun."
Now, U-High's hoping those same qualities help them make a post-season push.
"Our whole team goal is to make it to state and to do well there," said Valley.
"To get there we obviously have to get through districts and regionals and just keep playing the way we play."
Which is exciting, in crazy shoes.
