Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

The state Department of Natural Resources board is poised to make some changes to Wisconsin's endangered species list.
The DNR has proposed removing seven animals and eight plants from the list, including the barn owl, Blanding's turtle and Butler's garter snake. The agency also wants to add eight new animals to the list, including the black tern, Kirtland's warbler and the upland sandpiper.
The agency put together the proposal after completing a 20-month review of the list species' status. DNR officials also notes all actions the agency approves on public or private land require screening for endangered species and shrinking the list will reduce the regulatory impact on businesses and save money.
The Natural Resources Board is set to vote on the plan at a meeting May 22 in Madison.

Hi everyone,
My 7mo DS got his top two front teeth about 2 weeks ago. In the last day or so my nipples have started getting sore when nursing. I think he hasn't got his mouth wide enough maybe as it feels like these new teeth are rubbing against the nipple - certainly the side of the nipple where the top teeth are is red and a bit sore. When he feeds at night it is worse, almost as if he won't/can't open his mouth fully. We didn't have any real traumas about biting when the bottom 2 came through at 20 weeks (just a week or so of "no" when he bit experimentally). He has bitten properly a couple of times since these new ones came through but tbh pinching my boob when feeding is more of a problem/nuisance.
Has anyone else had this problem? Will it self-correct (like many things)? I've tried moving him so his head/neck is more extended in case the position of the head is the problem but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I am keeping my finger ready to unlatch him when he stops feeding but he has started getting separation anxiety and seems to want to comfort suck more atm. (I wonder if he also has some more teeth on the move because he is dribbling and chewing again and that is also why he is comfort sucking).
Any reassurance or help would be most gratefully recieved!

A New Life for the Haynes Photo Shop
Plans are underway for a gathering place that pays tribute to the photographic legacy of Yellowstone National Park. Millions of annual visitors walk by the historic Haynes Photo Shop at Old Faithful, unaware of its storied and interesting past. The Yellowstone Park Foundation will breathe new life into the building, and offer new ways to enjoy Yellowstone images.
The original Photo Shop was built in 1895, prior to the construction of the Old Faithful Inn, and was located in the approximate vicinity of what is now the Inn's front parking lot. That building was disassembled in the mid-1930s. In 1926, park photographer and postcard salesman Jack Ellis Haynes applied to the National Park Service for permission to erect his new building near what was then the Old Faithful Campground. The current structure is what remains of the retail building that was "new" in 1927.
In recent years, the building has been used for storage, and for a staff dormitory in a wing that was added. In 2009, the National Park Service presented a proposal to assign the Haynes Old Faithful Photo Shop to the Yellowstone Park Foundation. The Foundation's board accepted the offer, which involves rehabilitating, caring for, and operating the building. Since then, the Park Service paid for the removal of the dormitory wing and for the building to be relocated to a new foundation on a site near the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center.
With few exceptions, the building retains exterior integrity as an example of the rustic "log-out parkitecture" that was prevalent in western National Parks during the decades following the creation of Yellowstone.
The Yellowstone Park Foundation adoption of the facility will serve many purposes: It will protect a building of historic significance; it will provide a place to share the legacy of the Haynes Photo Shop and photography in Yellowstone; and it will serve as a venue for YPF to meet and greet park visitors and tell the story of citizen stewardship in Yellowstone.

Portales will become home to an algae farm that produces biofuel and an estimated 100 new jobs for the region if the U.S. Senate passes a proposed budget bill.
Nearly $1 million in funding for the project is included in the Fiscal Year 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Bill expected to go before the Senate in coming days, according to a spokesperson for U.S. Sen. Tom Udall.
The House passed the bill Wednesday, which includes $951,000 for a demonstration project in Portales, Marissa Padilla said.
"(Senator Udall) really feels that this is a project that has many benefits for the community," Padilla said.
The funding will support a 20-acre demonstration facility and could create an estimated 100 local jobs initially, she said.
Padilla said a demonstration of the technology will likely spur the development of a 200 acre facility and later a 2,000 acre facility.
Sapphire Energy has selected New Mexico as a prime location for it's year-round algae growth and refinement project because of its brackish water aquifers, sunlight with low humidity and carbon dioxide levels, company spokesman Tim Zenk said Wednesday.
The fast growing plant relies on photosynthesis and salt water and is grown in long "runways" like dirt irrigation canals.
Sapphire uses the algae to create a "green crude" that is used to produce fuel for diesel, gas and jet engines known as "green fuels".
Crops are rotated about every 15 days and produce about 3,800 gallons of oil per acre — a yield 10 times that of corn or soy biofuel production, Zenk said.
The funding is a good start to get the project underway in the Portales area.
"We have to start small, a million dollars doesn't get you very far when your talking about energy," Zenk said.
"This is just the beginning," Zenk said. "For us, New Mexico is absolutely one of the best places on the planet to do the work we're trying to do… What we're going to have to do now that there's funding is sit down with the community and figure out the beneficial research that can be done there."

Hmm, the title track on their Myspace isn't filling me with a lot of confidence in the direction of this album. It sounds almost poppy, really. Here's hoping it's the weak track from the album because I really like their first two. They're fantastic live, too.

Last week we went for my LOs 4 month check up. Dr said to start solids. I questioned her and explained that everything I had read and the AAP encourage breastmilk only for first 6 months. Her response was that there is new evidence to suggest that the sterile gut philosophy is maybe not the best and that babies need more than what breast milk has to offer. She hopes to have us eating eggs by 6-7 months.
My LO shows no signs of readiness, as he was 5 weeks premature. And I have not been able to find anything that says it's good to start solid at 4 months. Have any of you heard about any new studies released that she may be referring to?
I plan on following my instincts and holding off another couple of months but just wondering if there is any truth to what she's saying. Tks!!

Boulder declares intent to acquire Xcel assets
- published_in
- Today's News
The notice kicks off formal negotiations with Xcel on the assets that Boulder would need to create a municipal electric utility. Good faith negotiations are required by law before the city can file condemnation action in district court. Xcel has maintained its position as an unwilling seller throughout the city's exploration of municipalization.
The notice released Monday details the equipment that the city intends to acquire, including all or parts of seven substations plus a 115-kilovolt transmission loop serving the city and access to service the substations serving that loop.
Boulder leaders have asserted that a city-run utility could help the city achieve its goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously maintaining or improving rates and reliability.
"This notice starts what we hope will be productive and collaborative formal conversations with Xcel Energy about the equipment we would need if we choose to meet our community's goals in this way," Heather Bailey, Boulder's executive director of energy strategy and electric utility development, said in a press release. "It would benefit everyone – the city, Xcel Energy and ratepayers across Xcel's service territory – if both parties could reach an agreement on this issue."
By law, Xcel has 90 days to have the property appraised at Boulder's expense and enter into negotiations. The company could also decline to enter into negotiations. Should Xcel have its own appraisal done, the city would then be required to submit its appraisals of the property to Xcel. At that point, there's no set timetable for how long negotiations must last before Boulder could file for condemnation. But the law does require that Boulder submit to Xcel a written final offer before proceeding to trial if the parties can't agree on a price through good faith negotiations.
Xcel spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said it's too early to say whether the company would enter into negotiations as Xcel officials are still evaluating Boulder's notice.
"Xcel Energy has received Boulder's notice of intent to acquire, which is under review," a statement from Xcel read. "We continue to believe that we can help Boulder achieve its goals better, faster and cheaper by working together instead of Boulder attempting to take over our business."
When Boulder city council gave staff the go-ahead to begin pursuing acquisition of Xcel's assets last summer, the original timeline called for good faith negotiations to occur in the fall so that the city could file for condemnation as early as this month. But that timeline was delayed for a couple of reasons.
The city was waiting to see the results of a couple of utility debt-limit measures on the November ballot to gauge the community's interest in moving forward with municipalization. The city also wanted to learn the results of a proceeding with the Public Utilities Commission and how that would affect the municipalization process.
The PUC ruled in October and confirmed its ruling in December that, because Boulder's municipalization plans include serving customers and acquiring assets outside the city limits, the city must have the technical aspects of its acquisition plan approved by the PUC before filing for condemnation.
The city has until Jan. 15 to appeal the PUC decision to district court. If it does, it could still start working with the PUC on the approval process while the appeal is in process. The approval process is expected to take up to seven months from the time the city files its acquisition plans with the PUC, meaning it would be the second half of this year before Boulder could file for condemnation regardless of how good faith negotiations go.
In addition to the notice of intent to acquire, the city also announced Monday that it is in the process of seeking requests for proposal for legal and regulatory consultants to join the city's efforts on issues related to the PUC and the state's regulatory processes.

National Geographic natural fiber rugs offered by Merida Meridian
March 27, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
Boston – Sustainable natural fiber floor covering company Merida Meridian is launching a line of vegetable fiber rugs and bindings developed especially for the National Geographic Home collection.
This line represents the first time in Merida Meridian's 31-year history that the company has partnered via licensing. The manufacturer points out that like itself, the National Geographic is an environmentally minded entity. "I am thrilled and honored for Merida to be a selected partner with a world renowned organization that shares our values of cultural reflection and sustainability," said Catherine Connolly, ceo.
The 2009 National Geographic Home collection features furniture and home accessories inspired by the east African nation Tanzania. Merida's floor coverings for this year's program "evoke the romance and wonder" of this coastal country, Merida Meridian said, with the use of natural fibers, earthy tones and culturally relevant patterns. Fibers in the collection include sisal, jute and abaca, with new leather and fabric bindings. The rugs are divided into five categories, which were inspired by the varied aspects of Tanzanian culture. They are: Safari, Tribal, Animal, Landscape, and Campaign Heritage.
Some of the sisal rugs in the collection are produced in partnership with a cooperative sisal farming community in Brazil. This co-op works to help reverse the trend of falling sisal production in the region, increase the fiber's market value, and provides economic, social and educational opportunities for residents of the community. To help tell the story at retail, merchandising and display materials for Merida's product will contain icons noting the handcrafted nature of certain products and the benefits to local economies and the environment.
Merida Meridian's new National Geographic-branded rugs and bindings will be on display with the rest of the licensed program's home assortment at the upcoming High Point Market, April 25-30 in space IHFC C800.
All of National Geographic's net proceeds from the home furnishings and accessories collection support the World Cultures Fund, which aids the work of archeologists, cultural anthropologists, and artists around the globe.

Who's the Real Public Enemy?
Askia Muhummad | 5/22/2013, 12:47 p.m. | Updated on 5/22/2013, 12:47 p.m.
Let me begin by saying I have never been convicted of a crime. Never.
I was arrested once. In downtown D.C. I talked back to a White man. I complained to a bank president (who, unbeknownst to me was literally looting his bank's assets just weeks before the bank declared bankruptcy when I encountered him) that he had parked his limousine in a bus zone next to a construction site during rush hour, making it very difficult for passengers to board an approaching bus.
The bank's off-duty police officer working security, along with a hot dog vendor jumped me, beat me up and the cop arrested me. When it was all said and done, the D.C. government paid me thousands of dollars to settle a lawsuit I filed against the city.
I don't believe that those of us who want to see the oppressive force of white supremacy and racism, which enslaved Black people in America for 310 years and which committed genocide against the Native Americans, I believe that those struggling to free our people from bondage should obey all of America's laws which don't conflict with their religion. I don't believe Freedom Fighters should so much as jaywalk.
But some "Freedom Fighters" do manage to get into trouble.
Mumia Abu Jamal is one, but I also don't believe he murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner back in 1981. I believe that Mumia was framed and convicted by a racist police force and prosecutor, in the courtroom of a so-called "hanging judge" by an all-White jury based on testimony coerced by the cops from vulnerable witnesses – many of whom coincidentally have recanted their testimony and admitted they were forced to lie by the cops; cops who wanted to "get" Mumia because he was a Black Panther Party member.
Nor do I believe that Assata Shakur is a terrorist who belongs on the FBI's "10 Most Wanted" list. Even though her "Black Liberation Army" (BLA) has been accused of some terrible crimes, I don't believe Assata and her comrades are anywhere near the "menace to society" that Maryland state inmate Tayvon White and his so-called "Black Guerilla Family" poses.
I believe Assata, the Black Liberation Army, and other like minded individuals, and group members, first set out to in fact "liberate" Black people from the clutches of a centuries-old tormentor, which at times looked identical to the government of the United States of America. In fact, most of the most despicable crimes against Black people and the Indians were committed in the name of the U.S. government, not in the name of the Black Liberation Army.
On the other hand, mobs like the Black Guerilla Family started out as ruthless criminals, willing to prey on the elderly, the sick, and showed no concern about the welfare of even innocent children.
So, Assata Shakur is in exile in Cuba, wanted after escaping from prison and for being convicted of murdering a police officer. There is ample evidence that while she may have been a "bad actor" she – like Mumia – was framed for killing the cop.

Salisbury Holds Off Rowan in First Round
from press release
SALISBURY, Md. – The fifth-ranked Salisbury University women's lacrosse team captured a 10-6 victory over Rowan University in first round action of the 2011 NCAA tournament on Wednesday afternoon at Sea Gull Stadium.
With the victory, Salisbury advances to the NCAA Regionals, which will be held this Saturday and Sunday at Sea Gull Stadium. SU will square off with Washington and Lee University this Saturday at 11:30 a.m. The winner of that contest advances to the region final on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.
SU (18-2) jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in today's contest, with sophomore attacker Katie Bollhorst netting the first goal off of an assist from senior attacker Meagan Osipowich. SU senior Aileen McCausland and junior midfielder Alyssa Fowler followed up with goals to extend the lead to three, before Caitlin Ravel scored Rowan's first goal of the contest with 17:56 remaining. Over the final portion of the first half, the Sea Gulls outscored the Profs 3-1, with Salisbury goals coming from McCausland, Fowler and junior midfielder Allie Wheatley; at the half SU held a 6-3 advantage over the Profs (10-7).
Rowan came out determined after halftime, scoring the first two goals of the second half to bring the score to 6-5 in favor of Salisbury. The Sea Gulls responded with a pair of goals, with Wheatley and Fowler recording tallies for the maroon and gold. Rowan's Michelle Lubrano tallied her fourth goal of the contest with 17:04 remaining in the second half to cut the deficit to 8-6, but that would be as close as it would get as the SU defense clamped down on the visitors.

Despite what BuzzFeed quizzes would have you believe, very few people are kids during one decade alone, and an increasing number of us actually manage to stretch our child phase over several. It's just as well then that the pop culture franchises we grew up with tend to come back to haunt and/or delight us years and years after their initial run. But the fact that they can do this does not mean that all of them should. There are several beloved franchises that, should they ever return in full force, would probably only break our hearts. Here are four of them.
(Note: There are several spoilers for eons-old plot twists in this article. May anyone who does not realize and accept this be eaten by a grue.)
4Twin Peaks
Twin Peaks is one of those rare shows that managed to simultaneously create and peak an entire genre. Its dreamlike atmosphere, well-conceived characters, and quirky dialogue that is at constant odds with the ever-so-slightly creepy overall vibe is responsible for roughly 75 percent of the shows you enjoy, and also that image of David Duchovny in drag that keeps popping onto your retinas at 2 a.m. After the series' initial run, owls could have conquered the world had they realized how terrified we suddenly were of them. For a solid year, every single viewer checked behind their couch for errant BOBs before they sat down.
And let's not even discuss the subject of bathroom breaks.
I love Twin Peaks. The show had a profound influence on me when I was a child, marking my transition from a snotty kid that lived on cartoons and MacGyver to ... a slightly older snotty kid that lived on cartoons, MacGyver, and Twin Peaks.
I love Twin Peaks, which is why I want it to never come back.
Why It Should Never Return:
Because it wouldn't be Twin Peaks anymore.
"Oh, boo hoo. Would the actors having a few extra wrinkles tug your itty bitty heartstrings?" you ask. "Of course the show would be different, it's been 25 years. Go read up on time skips as a narrative device, crybaby." To this, curiously cheeky person I just made up for the sake of narrative, I have two arguments: One, fuck you, you don't even exist. Two, I'm not saying the hypothetical Twin Peaks revival can't be a decent show. I'm saying it wouldn't be the same show.
Twin Peaks was always destined to be a short and beautiful thing. Its appeal lies in atmosphere and carefully balanced contradiction -- the coziness of a beautiful, all-American small town contrasted with the sins hiding underneath the surface and the absolute evil that lurks at the edges. The fun came from peeling all those layers of wickedness and absurdity one by one, and it worked like a dream ... as long as there were layers left. Once Laura Palmer's killer was revealed midway through the second season, the final layer was gone, and the core turned out to be a mystical potluck of lodges, spheres, hirsute chaos spirits, and tiny, overdressed arm-deities.
"Won egalkniD gnikcuf reteP ot elor siht esol ylbaborp dluow I."
Treated right, there are still the makings of a good show there, but too many secrets have already been revealed to keep things how they were. Any future episodes of Twin Peaks wouldn't be about exploring the secrets of a fascinating town with underlying darkness. They would be all about fighting said darkness. The final episodes irrevocably tore the sleepy little town's facade down for the viewer, leaving it less Twin Peaks and more Sunnydale. About two episodes in, Buffy and Angel might as well ride into town to kick Evil Agent Cooper in the dick before hitting the Black Lodge to punch everyone.
Which ... actually does sound kind of awesome.
Why It Probably Will Anyway:
Although David Lynch officially denies all rumors of a series revival, stories of him privately discussing it with former cast members have been known to surface. Add that to the fact that some other series creators have been pretty open about their desire to return to the creepy little town, and that Netflix has allegedly expressed tentative interest in rebooting the show, and it doesn't seem entirely impossible that a (possibly Lynch-less) New Twin Peaks will eventually confuse the shit out of viewers.
3Masters of the Universe
I realize that the phrase "return" is stretching it a bit here; despite the fact that their heyday was clearly in the 1980s, He-Man and his cohorts have been existing on the sidelines of pop culture ever since. There have been comics. There was the God-awful 1990s space opera reboot. There was the 2002 relaunch and an accompanying decent yet quickly cancelled TV show, and the surprisingly tongue-in-cheek 2012 mobile game.
Although it has managed to cling to existence, the franchise is far from the sort of cultural powerhouse some other popular toy lines of the era have managed to become. Think about it: This is a full-fledged fantasy universe that has somehow managed to avoid a movie in a millennium where The Lego Movie rules our hearts, Transformers ravage our senses every year, and fucking Battleship has had its chance to bomb at the box office.
There just might be a reason for that.
Warner Bros.
Not this one, although it probably didn't help.
Why It Should Never Return:
This is Fearless Photog.
Via Toys and Bacon
Yes, that's a face camera.
Designed by 12-year-old Nathan Bitner, Fearless Photog was the winning entry in Mattel's $100,000 Masters of the Universe Create a Character competition in 1985. He was a sentient camera person who was decidedly nonviolent: His power was to suck evil powers out of his enemies, leaving only good behind. It was a novel and creative concept, which is presumably why Mattel took a giant dump on the idea and didn't introduce it in the toy line until 2011, as part of the "their joints move now so give us money, collectors!" Classics Series.
At the core of this story lies the reason Masters of the Universe should remain on the relative sidelines: It is the most irreparably outdated franchise in the entire world. Its universe is a product of a nonexistent time when steroids worked the exact same way on everyone and it was OK to prance around wearing BDSM gear and fur underwear, as long as you carried a kickass sword or had some interesting deformity you could maim your opponent with. Its mythology is much like that of Street Fighter: an over-complicated excuse for bodybuilders to attack each other. There are no redeeming features here, no place for alignment-adjusting camera-faced fuckers who can remove the element of evil and thus the only excuse good people have to smack around people who look weirder than them. Almost everyone in the Universe of the Masters is a combatant by design, save for the occasional magician or lame "spy" character that always ends up getting stomped on until someone's elastic band snapped, don't pretend that they didn't.
Was it a great universe to visit when you were 10? Absolutely. Is it one it's OK to feel nostalgic about? Totally. Can it be revived without summoning continent-shaking douche chills? Probably not.
Via Comic Vine
Besides, Fisto would never want to bring the band back together because he makes a fortune on ... other areas of entertainment.
Why It Probably Will Anyway:
Current 30-somethings are creatures that are still well in touch with their inner child, yet starting to feel the first tugs of mortality. We basically amount to a huge pile of money that we're willing to burn to briefly escape the cold, patient stare of our ever-so-certainly approaching death by revisiting the rush of our childhood delights. Studios, of course, know this and happily prepare us our fix, usually in a diluted, over-CGI'd form.
With this in mind, it's not a question of whether He-Man, Skeletor, and the gang hit the big screen and attempt to overtake the pop culture world in an all-media assault the likes of which haven't been seen since the 1990s heyday of the once-again-attacking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's a question of when, and more importantly, how. It'll take some time, though: Although there has been a movie in development for a while now, it looks like the studios have realized how difficult the "Tom of Finland meets Manowar" vibe of the franchise is to execute even semi-correctly. As such, the project has been bouncing from table to table for years. The dude currently closest to helming the project is Jeff Wadlow, a fact that is less than comforting to those six people who actually managed to trudge through Kick-Ass 2 without falling asleep.
Still, find a way to get Frank Langella back as Skeletor and we'll all probably wind up watching that movie thrice.

To be clear, there were a limited number of small ranches in existence before Mission Espiritu Santo received its official land charter in 1759, so it doesn't claim to be the very first ranch in Texas. What the mission does claim, however, pertains to something much greater.
Goliad gets the bragging rights for being the birthplace of Texas ranching because long before the King Ranch or XIT Ranch, Mission Espiritu Santo established itself as the first mega-ranch in Texas. What does that mean? Well, it all comes down to sheer size.
Ten years after Mission Espiritu Santo moved to its final location here on the San Antonio River in 1749, the mission obtained its official charter. Encompassing approximately one million acres, the ranch was bounded to the east by the Guadalupe River and to the west by the San Antonio River. It was bounded to the south down near the coast at the confluence of the San Antonio and Guadalupe rivers. Its northern boundary stretched between the present-day towns of Kosciusko (near Floresville) and Belmont, which is located in Gonzales County. The vast herds of cattle claimed by the Mission consisted of approximately 40,000 head with around 15,000 cows wearing the Espiritu Santo brand.
The concept of large-scale cattle drives, like those that took place after the Civil War, was nothing new to the Native American vaqueros of Mission Espiritu Santo. During the American Revolution, over 9,000 head of cattle were driven from Spanish missions located in Texas with most coming from Mission Espiritu Santo. Of course, those early cattle drives were not immune to difficulty.
During this era, a cattle drive consisting of 2,000 head of cattle was driven to the Pueblo of La Apeluza, located in Louisiana. The cattle were taken in two separate drives because of the risk of losing the whole 2,000 head of cattle to hostile Native Americans. La Bahia received the news that the first drive was not pleasant, as the "hostiles numbering about 100 had made an attack at a place called the Arroyo de Los Nogales," (The Texas Connection, by Robert H. Thonhoff p. 65).
The herd was scattered with one man dead and two injured. Thonhoff does not mention what happened to the second cattle drive. After reading such accounts, one can't help but wonder what tales could be told from these early Texas cattle drives?
Much of Texas' ranching heritage can trace its roots to the ranch of Mission Espiritu Santo. Not only did the mission create the tradition of Texas mega-ranches, it is also thought that the lands of Espiritu Santo are where the wild cattle of the Spanish Colonial Era coalesced into that most iconic of breeds - the Texas longhorn.
So the next time you hear or read about Goliad being the Birthplace of Texas Ranching, think about Mission Espiritu Santo, the vast amount of land and cattle it claimed as its own, and about those early ranch hands that made Espiritu Santo such a ranching success - the Native American vaqueros.

Samsung Electronics announced today that it has begun mass producing the industry's first 2Gb DDR3 chips using 30nm-class process technology. The new DRAMs are inexpensive to make despite of rather high clock-speed and it is likely that leading suppliers of memory modules will use the new chips to power their devices for overclockers.
Samsung's 30nm-class 2Gb Green DDR3 chips provide the highest performance solution in the industry, based on an innovative circuit design. For server applications, memory modules can reach up to 1866NHz at 1.35 volts, while PC modules can run at up to 2133MHz at 1.5 volts, which is 3.5 times faster than DDR2 and 1.6 times faster than 50nm class DDR3.
"We're seeing a sharp rise in demand for DDR3 chips and are meeting that need with the timely introduction of 30nm-class Green DDR3 solutions. 30nm-class DDR3 DRAM will deliver the most satisfying user experience possible, offering extremely high performance and reduced power consumption for PC and server applications designed to capitalize on new multi-core processors," said Soo-In Cho, president of memory division of semiconductor business at Samsung Electronics.
Recent growth in the smartphone market has triggered a sharp increase in data usage, leading to heavier traffic in data centers. Samsung's new 30nm-class DDR3 chip will provide memory solutions with the highest performance and lowest power levels to accommodate the new generation of servers optimized for cloud computing and virtualization. Power savings for most new server applications using 30nm DDR3 will be about 20% greater than applications that use 50nm-class DDR3.
In addition, when combined with new multi-core PC platforms, Samsung 30nm-class 4GB DDR3 solutions for PCs can operate 60% faster than two 50nm-class 2GB DDR3 solutions, using 65% less power.
With plans to also produce the new 30nm DDR3 chips in a 4Gb density by year end, Samsung will soon broaden its memory line-up with mass production of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB 30nm-class RDIMMs for servers, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB UDIMMs for workstations and desktop PCs, plus 2GB, 4GB and 8GB SoDIMMs for notebooks and all-in-one desktops.

Pic #8 is certainly revealing thanks to that flash…commando, sac and hey a bonus, balls in the face.
I don't know why the pictures/men Queerty chooses to post are so not sexy :C
I imagine them naked WOW can`t take my eye of some asses.
Idc what they're doing as long as they keep it up!! Unf! Love guys in singlets! ????????????
@carey579: I don't know why people who constantly complain about the quality of Queerty articles keep coming back.
everyone knows wrestling is the gayest sport, except maybe for gymnastics. why would a str8 guy wanna put on some tights and roll around with another sweaty dude? I'm just glad they do!
How does Queerty know these guys are straight?. Just by looking at them?.
Wow. Pic # 3. Any deeper and they'd be fisting.
Of course wrestling is homoerotic. It involves deep body contact between two men. Few people know this, but it is very common for wrestlers to get sexually aroused, yes, erect, while wrestling.
Wrestling is an ancient sport, with roots in a society where homosexuality was widespread, accepted, even praised. Men wrestled naked. Legend says that Theseus of Athens invented wrestling.
There are MANY videos of straight athletes getting sexually aroused while wrestling. Heres one example:
@Billy Budd: SORRY, that was the wrong link. I won't put more links because I don't want to crowd the screen. Please search for "boner wrestling" or "erection wrestling" on youtube.
@Billy Budd: I wonder if you would directly say these things to a bunch of wrestlers.
@samwise343: Oh yes I would. They would probably NOT beat me to death. They would just lie and say: I know, but I don't have boners that way.
I've often wondered if some wrestlers wrestled because they could receive sexual stimulation with men while still using a "socially appropriate" outlet for their inclinations.
I'm into contact sports(wrestling and rugby) as a hobby and am gay. I think when you are busy doing it, the "sexual" part of it is the last thing on your mind. You just want to win.
But when seeing video footage, especially in wrestling, it's an entirely differing story. There are places you "reach" down on to dominate your opponent and they are quite sexual positions you end up in.
I rarely get aroused though- no matter how attractive my opponent is.
I have met more than one guy who realized he was gay during high school or college wrestling…also have a friend who realized he was guy during the hazing to join a fraternity
I should of joined wrestling in high school
wondering if a woody has happened often?

Too many holidaysMarch 11,2014
Too many holidays
Holiday, a song by the Bee Gees that very few of us have ever heard of, is perfect for our excess of holidays in America. Lately, we seem to have a holiday for almost everything under the sun. To name a few: Kansas Day (Jan. 29), Chinese New Year (Jan. 31), National Wear Red Day (Feb. 7), Groundhog Day (Feb. 2), Town Meeting Day (March 4), Mothers and Fathers days, Presidents Day, and the list goes on.
Someone is always coming up with a new idea for a holiday. My biggest gripe is that banks, post offices, state and federal business are all closed on federal holidays. Everything comes to a screeching halt and no one really knows why.
Why do we need to celebrate St. Patricks Day? Is good ol St. Patrick a great guy, or is this another excuse for a drunk? How about Valentines Day? Why not appreciate your sweetheart every day?
I especially hate Town Meeting Day. We vote on the most mundane of things, like should we fix the sewer backed up at the school or do we really need to plow the roads in the winter.
I have a suggestion. Why not do away with all holidays and everybody do their own thing.
Happy holidays!

A police Sargent grew impatient when the person in front of him in the drive-thru line at McDonald's was moving too slowly.
DeKalb County police Sgt. Scott Biumi is charged with felony aggravated assault after allegedly pulling a gun on a customer in the line.
The driver, 18-year-old Ryan Mash, told NBC affiliate WIZ-TV that he had no idea the man was a police officer. According to Mash, the man accused him of "holding up the line," then got out of his car and threatened him by sticking a gun to his neck. Biumi was apparently angry at the amount of time it was taking for him to get his food.
Biumi is a 20-year veteran of the DeKalb County Police Department and has been placed under administrative leave with pay while the incident is investigated.

- Title
- Parallel constraint handling in a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm for the automotive deployment problem
- Author(s)
- Montgomery, James; Moser, I.
- Abstract
- The component deployment problem is a complex multiobjective optimisation task faced by engineers in the automotive industry. Thus far, the best-known solutions to this problem have been achieved using the NSGA-II algorithm combined with a constraint handling method based on repairing solutions that have been rendered infeasible by the genetic operators. It can reasonably be assumed that an approach that repairs solutions immediately after a change has limited coverage of the infeasible space. Exchanging solutions with other algorithms may help enhance the search space coverage. However, we observe an improvement in performance through parallelisation only after increasing the complexity of the problem.

Hoffman to be unveiled at Brewers "On Deck"
This story was just in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
The Brewers will unveil their prize off-season acquisition —
all-time saves leader Trevor Hoffman — at their "On Deck" event next
Saturday at the Midwest Airlines Center.
Hoffman, who agreed to terms last week and was officially signed
on Tuesday, will be introduced at a press conference open to the public
at 10:30 a.m. That presser will take place on the WTMJ Stage.
The Brewers also announced the schedule for player autograph
sessions, which I'm putting at the bottom of this post. Some autographs
will be free, others will cost as much as $25. The team is making
available 250 autograph vouchers on the day of the event for each
player and coach. Cash will be the only form of payment accepted for
autographs requiring money.
All fans who attend the "On Deck" even will receive a free Terrace
Reserved ticket to any one of the three games against the Cincinnati
Reds, April 13 – 15. Advance tickets for the event are $15 for adults
and $9 for children (aged 2 – 14). On the day of the event, tickets are
$20 for adults and $15 for children.
Tickets are available in advance at brewers.com and by calling the
Brewers ticket office at 414-902-4100. A portion of the proceeds will
go to Brewers Charities and Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin.
Photo sessions with players and coaches will begin at 11 a.m. and
continue in 30-minute sessions until 4:30 p.m. Fans are advised to
bring their own cameras. Photos are free.
How sweet is that?
You can bet your bottom dollar that as long as my wife and I are not in a delivery room at the hospital, we'll be front row for this!
One of my loyal readers…Kaybee, over at her S.D. Padres blog-Unfinished Business, will have plenty of pictures of one of her favorites-Trevor Hoffman after I return from this event.
It's always a thrill to meet a true legend of the game…especially when he's still playing!
Of course, I have to make time to stop by my favorite current player's autograph table, too!
Ryan freakin' Braun!
This event is going to rock…

I hope you make it to the event – but I suspect if you and your wife find yourselves in the delivery room, even Kaybee will forgive you for not getting photos of her man Trevor! Good luck with both!
Happy, that's going to be fun man. Tell me what's your item of choice for getting autographed? Do you display them, or do you keep your autographs out of light? Just curious brotha…D
I'm glad you'll be able to go to this!! That's so nice that you'll be taking some pictures for Kaybee and I hope you get to meet Ryan Braun! He's so good!! I saw him make this amazing catch while I was at a Marlins vs Brewers game. When is your wife due? That's so exciting!
Thank you so very much.
My item of choice to get signed-if the player is a star enough to be able to buy an authentic jersey and make it worth getting framed, I would get that signed
ex. Todd Helton, Matt Holliday (former) or Troy Tulowitzki.
If I didn't get a jersey, I would prefer either a magazine cover or a 16×20 photograph of the player.
ex. Helton's been on covers, Tulo was on the Sports Illustrated last year with Braun, etc.
If I didn't get any of those, an authentic baseball is always a great option (make sure they sign the sweetspot).
I keep my autographs out of natural light (in my man-cave). Artificial light is okay as long as it's not directly on the autographed item.
Hope that helps!
Braun is a freak of nature. He's my size but hits the ball about 100 feet further (amazing!).
My wife is due the end of January-any day now!!!
DUDE! I can't believe I blogged on this before you! But I am so glad you guys are going!!!!! You'll get to see the press conference itself!!! AND take lots of pictures!!! I even wrote a bit of an entry on you! So, looking forward to this…even thought I won't be there, I'm sure there pleanty of pictures to relive the event!
Holy smokes! You did beat me to it! That shows what a great Trevor Hoffman fan you are-still following his career. Thanks for the plug on your blog-much appreciated.
That's kind of ironic that we both blogged the same topic with links to each other's blog, too!
Happy, that's quite a dilemma you've got….Trevor or the delivery room. Keep us posted on which event comes first! I'm seeing this as a scene from a very funny comedy.
Braun is freakin awesome. You'll have your chances to catch a ball off him for sure.
hmmmmm-I always told my wife, "Don't make me choose between you or baseball!" Funny comedy, indeed!
I snagged the long ball he hit the day he signed his big contract with the Brewers. I'm not finished with that one. I want career #100. He needs 29 for 100-it's mine!

The Warrior freshman downed the Beeville ninth-graders 38-14 and the Trojan JV unit returned the favor by defeating the Warrior squad 28-7.
Trojan running back Logan Rios got the Beeville freshman squad out front early with a good run into the end zone with 8:55 left in the first period. Rios also pushed his way through the Warrior line for the two-point conversion for a 8-0 Trojan lead.
That lead held up through the rest of the first quarter, but the Warriors exploded for 22 second period points to lead comfortably 22-8 at the half.
The West team picked right up with its offense in the third period and added two more TD's to lead 38-8.
The Trojans were able to punch in one last touchdown on a 35-yard scamper from Rios. The conversion failed to make the final a 38-14 win for the Warriors.
Offensively, the Trojans were led by the running of Rios. Titus Puente hauled in five passes from QB Tony Aleman for 46 yards on the night. Tommy Dominguez had one reception good for a 21-yard gain.
The JV game did not start to well for the Trojans. An early fumble on their first possession gave the ball to the Warriors. The Trojan defense stepped in and shut down the Warriors, however, and got the ball back into the hands of Trojan QB Ryan Pena. Running back Robert Rodriguez capped off a short drive with a nine-yard run into the end zone for the first score. The PAT failed, but the Trojans held a 6-0 lead with 3:14 left in the first period.
The Warrior offense struggled and Beeville's Justice Estrada intercepted a Warrior pass at the Beeville 13-yard line to thwart a scoring drive. The Trojan offense, behind the running of Steven Barrera, Samuel Navarro and Rodriguez, marched down the field as the first half was drawing to a close. QB Pena covered the final three yards on a run around the right side to give the Trojans a 12-0 lead with 1:47 left in the half. Fullback JD Cuevas pushed his way into the end zone for the extra two points to make the score at the half 14-0.
The Warriors did nothing on their opening drive of the second half. The Trojans got the ball back at midfield and calmly drove the ball deep into West territory. Rodriguez got his second TD on a pitch from Pena and the score went to 20-0. The conversion run came up just short for the hosts.
Victoria West broke into the scoring column with a 30-yard completion on the next possession. The PAT kick was good to make the scoreboard read 20-7 with just five seconds left in the third period.
The Trojans were forced to punt on their next possession, but the Warriors turned the ball over on another interception as Nico Flores picked off a Warrior pass.
The Trojans failed to move the ball, but had one last try on offense a little later in the contest.
Rodriguez finished the Warriors with a 55-yard run into the end zone for his third TD for a 26-7 advantage. Pena ran for the two-point conversion to make the final 28-7.
"This was the first game where our offense performed as well as the defense. The defense has been stellar all season, and the offense rose to that level tonight," said JV coach Stephen Hrncir.
"One thing we've lacked the last few weeks is the big play, and we had plenty of those tonight."
The Trojan teams were off this week with a bye but will resume their district play next Thursday on the road in Victoria when they meet the East Titans.
"I was proud of all of the kids tonight, and the fan support was great. It's always nice when we can put on a show like that in front of the home fans," Hrncir said.

North Central College's new chemical microscopy degree is featured in a two-page spread in the Oct. 17 issue of Chemical & Engineering News, a journal of the American Chemical Society.
The article describes how North Central College is offering the nation's first four-year degree in chemical microscopy through a partnership with Hooke College of Applied Sciences in Westmont.
"Chemistry majors rarely get the chance to acquire much microscopy experience during their undergraduate years," the article begins. "But with the launch this fall semester of a new program at a Chicago-area college, not only will chemistry undergraduates have the opportunity to acquire substantial skills in chemistry-based microscopy, they will also have the option of earning a bachelor's degree in the subject."
The story features Jeffrey Jankowski, associate professor of chemistry, and freshman Marissa Bartz—the first person to declare chemical microscopy as her undergraduate major at North Central College—and therefore in the nation.
"When I tell people about my major, they all say it sounds really interesting, but some of them are hesitant to sign up for a lot of chemistry classes," Bartz told Chemical & Engineering News. "She tells them: 'You should join me. It's really cool!'"

FIFA 11 ReviewBy Mike D'Alonzo - Posted Sep 27, 2010
FIFA Soccer 11 is the gold standard for the soccer experience in gaming. Soccer novices and footie fanatics alike should find many, many hours of enjoyment here, and this embarassment of riches is likely to remain fresh and playable well into the next year.
The Pros
- Ridiculously deep game from top to bottom
- Top notch presentation and gameplay mechanics
- Impressive personality-based skillset for each player
The Cons
- Goalkeeper Mode lacks action
- Some teams, like Barcelona, seem unbeatable
FIFA 11 Review:
Americans know two things about soccer: first off, soccer is the most popular sport in the world outside our borders, and second, we should feel bad as a culture for not embracing it. The truth is that soccer is a mystifying beast to most Americans, who just don't see the nuance in the game and who aren't comfortable devoting raw emotion to an event that can (and often does) end in a 0-0 tie.
I say this not to insult soccer, but to praise it, at least through the lens of FIFA Soccer 11. Not only is EA's annual futbal juggernaut a visceral, exciting gaming experience, but it's so deep and just flat out fun that it might just lead Americans, once and for all, to finally figure out why so many millions of others worldwide live and breathe the sport. It's just that good.
Here's Your Man Of the Match
FIFA 11 is deep. Really, really deep. Think of a team you've heard of in the world of soccer. They're on the list of playable teams here. Now, think of a place you'd like them to play. Ditto. Play in quick matches and friendlies to match up teams that rarely play against each other, or head for league play, both online and off, and navigate a team through one of many, many league seasons. There are also ancillary national tournaments, such as England's F.A. Cup and the U.S. Open Cup, which will have you playing as some of the most venerable and well-recognized teams in the world.
EA has done a lot of work in this edition of FIFA in matching a particular player's skillset and affect on the field to what you'll see in the game, with a feature they call Personality Plus. Drogba's near-magical nose for net (and penchant for complaining to the refs, we assume) is more accurate this year as is Carlos Puyol's stubborn defense and heart. Both on and off the ball, CPU players will act and react in a manner closer to their real life counterparts than ever before. This is a welcome addition, and we look forward to EA continuing to refine this feature in years to come.
There's a new pro passing system in the game which determines the accuracy of a player's passing through their proficiency on the control pad, tweaked for situations and individual players. As always, you are able to bust out a pretty sick arsenal of moves, whether it be a swerve pass or a bicycle kick, depending on your skill level. Improved in this edition of FIFA is the cross, which is now more effective than ever before, allowing you to drop the ball in front of the net for better variety in attacking the goal.
It's A Beautiful Day Out Here On The Pitch...
The presentation of FIFA Soccer 11 is really good, with warhorse commentators Andy Gray and Martin Tyler making a return. The depth of the commentary is really impressive, and the pain of hearing some of the same soundbites over again is mitigated by long, personalized stories about players and teams that make it feel like you're really watching a soccer match.
Another addition to this year's FIFA is the ability to assign customized chants and songs for every team in every league. The mechanics of doing it are a little wonky, but the result is ultimately satisfying. There's nothing like watching the L.A. Galaxy take the pitch to Tom Jones's 'Delilah,' that I can tell you. Apologies to Stoke City fans who probably just threw up in their mouths a little bit.
Also, it should be noted that in the entire stable of EA games, FIFA has the best soundtrack, bar none. Perhaps it's the fact that soccer is a world sport, but it's refreshing to get music from bands like Scissor Sisters and Yeasayer, as opposed to whatever warmed-over nu-metal they could dig up.
Let's Make A Career Of This!
There's a lot in the way of customization to be had in FIFA Soccer 11. Design a player, make and manage a team, insert songs and chants, design kits, create tournaments, what have you. If you have a dream scenario you've always wanted to play out, soccer-wise, there's a really good chance you're going to be able to make it happen here.
You can also show off to your friends and enemies online, whether it be by way of connected leaderboards that allow you to show the world how good you are, or FIFA Theatre, which allows you to save and upload particularly good goals and highlights from any match, including online, for the world to see.
Career Mode has long been a staple of FIFA, but this year you can play a career as a goalkeeper, holding it down in the net. Now, while this is a novel and fun thing to do, the truth of the matter is that the life of a goalie is a solitary one, and, unless you're being peppered with shots, you might spend the majority of the match just standing in goal, watching the very small action happen far away from you. This is not necessarily a failing of the game, but it's more a novelty than anything else.
Online play hasn't seen much in the way of change, but that's not necessarily bad, since FIFA is EA's gold standard when it comes to online leagues and co-op and multiplayer, and is the basis of all the online improvements they make to their other games. (Note: If you go online and play Head-to-Head against someone from Europe, and they play as Barcelona, you will not win.)
It's The Golden Goal!
FIFA Soccer 11 is the gold standard for the soccer experience in gaming. It's rare that you'll find a game that's this deep, this entertaining, this customizable, and just flat out fun, to boot. EA knows when it's time to innovate, and when it's time to refine, and this year's edition of the game is all about refinement, but, when the raw material is this good, it's all gravy.
Soccer novices and footie fanatics alike should find many, many hours of enjoyment here, and this embarassment of riches is likely to remain fresh and playable well into the next year.

Ben McAdoo acted bewildered. Never let it be said that the Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach isn't a team player.
If head coach Mike McCarthy is looking to keep the Pittsburgh Steelers guessing about the availability of quarterback Aaron Rodgers for Sunday's game at Lambeau Field, he upped the ante on Thursday, when he – not once but twice – said that Rodgers looked "ready to play" even though he's yet to get medical clearance to return from the fractured left collarbone he suffered Nov. 4 against Chicago.
McCarthy said this despite acknowledging that backup Matt Flynn "took the majority of reps" and Rodgers himself said he "didn't take a lot of reps" on Thursday.
Perhaps most telling: During the sole 11-on-11 period of practice open to reporters, Flynn and then third-stringer Scott Tolzien took all the quarterback snaps, while Rodgers spent the period standing next to McAdoo, far away from the action.
So there was McAdoo after practice, responding to a question about whether Rodgers has effectively hidden his frustration from his teammates and fellow quarterbacks with, "Are you saying he's not playing?"
Why, yes, Ben, that's exactly what we're saying. Unless McCarthy and his staff are planning the mother of all Sunday surprises, their actions this week have spoken louder than their words. (For the record, McCarthy said he would make an announcement on Rodgers' availability on Friday.)
"Obviously today he's still not medically cleared. Looked very good at practice. I would state him ready to play," McCarthy said. "But once again we're going through the process, make sure we're getting Matt ready to play. Matt took the majority of reps."
Later, McCarthy added, "He looks sharp. He definitely looks better this week. He looks like he's ready to play." Asked if he thought Rodgers should play, McCarthy replied, "No, you wanted an update. I mean, you wanted to know how he looks, he looks good. He's a limited practice participant. He hasn't been medically cleared."
On Wednesday, McCarthy had said the Packers were following the "same" – later amending his statement to "a similar" – approach with Rodgers that they took last week, when Rodgers took first-team snaps in 11-on-11 periods during both Wednesday's and Thursday's practices, with he and Flynn splitting snaps essentially 50/50 during the Thursday session.
Then, after Rodgers had his collarbone scanned later Thursday, the quarterback met with McCarthy, team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie and general manager Ted Thompson last Friday morning and learned he was being ruled out for the game against the Dallas Cowboys. Rodgers then did next to nothing at practice.
This week, Rodgers did take some first-team snaps in practice Wednesday – this time, tight end Andrew Quarless didn't have to break the news by speaking out of school about it – but then came Thursday's practice, which belonged almost exclusively to Flynn. Flynn got off to a slow start against the Cowboys before rallying the Packers from a 26-3 halftime deficit to a 37-36 victory, and the coaches may have decided that he needed more practice reps in preparation to avoid a sluggish start against the Steelers. The 7-6-1 Packers can clinch the NFC North title and a first-round home playoff game with victories over the Steelers Sunday and over the Bears at Soldier Field Dec. 29.
"Obviously we've had a plan in that regard and I think it's gone well," offensive coordinator Tom Clements said of the snap distribution in practice this week. "We feel that we're doing what we need to do for both guys."
Asked if the plan was different from last week's, Clements replied, "We have a plan that's beneficial to both guys." Asked again if it was different, Clements became slightly agitated. "It was beneficial last week."
Speaking at his locker after McCarthy's session in the media auditorium, Rodgers deferred most questions to McCarthy. While his self-assessment of his play in practice was in agreement with McCarthy's – "I've completed just about every pass in practice," he said – he also suggested that he knows his fate already.
"I have a good sense of what's going to happen, yes," Rodgers said.
That led to Rodgers dodging most of the follow-up questions.
What has to happen for him to be medically cleared? "That's a question for coach McCarthy."
Will he be playing on Sunday? "It's a medical decision, it's an organizational decision."
Is it Dr. McKenzie or Thompson who makes the final call? "That's a Mike McCarthy question."
What is his sense of what'll happen Sunday? "That's another Mike McCarthy question there for tomorrow."
How strong an argument is he going to make with McKenzie, McCarthy and Thompson to play? "I bet Mike will be able to answer that tomorrow."
Nothing Rodgers said, in fact, pointed toward him playing.
"At this point I have to focus on the things I can control and that's practicing well, taking care of my business in the weight room, preparing, being a good teammate," he said. "It's an organizational and a medical decision at this point."
Based on Rodgers' remarks, that decision appears to have been made by McKenzie and Thompson. The distribution of snaps would reinforce that notion.
"Until Aaron is cleared to go, the bulk of the reps are going to go to the guys who are cleared to go. At the same time, we want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to prepare to play in the game," McAdoo said. "Reps are like a bar of gold, you guys only get to see a handful, but we make sure we split them up accordingly."
Meanwhile, McAdoo said that if Rodgers is angry or frustrated with the team not clearing him to play with a playoff berth within reach, he has not exhibited that in front of his teammates.
"Aaron has handled his injury very well within the confines of the building and the practice field, with his teammates and his coaches. He's doing everything he can to get himself ready to play if that opportunity presents itself this week," McAdoo said. "And he's also doing everything he can to help the other guys get ready to go. He understands that reps are limited and he does a nice job of contributing in the room whether he's able to go or he's not able to go. We all appreciate that. He doesn't make it about himself."

Is 1200mg of domperidone safe dosage? Does reducing it after increase in milk supply reduce the milk supply back?
Is 1200mg of domperidone safe dosage? Does reducing it after increase in milk supply reduce the milk supply back?
sorry, I don't know how to add links, but I'm pretty sure that Dr. Jack Newman's site has good info on Domperidone. Should be in the Breastfeeding Help section
Mama to my little Roxie Roo, 06/11/08
April miles for TBTTW: 63
Yeah, that sounds like a lot. There should be information here:
Hey thanks so much for referring me to dr Newman's site....and you both were right about dose ...1200 is really too high and it should be b/w 90-160mg. Dunno where i got that 1200 figure.....
I am taking Dom. and I believe the starting dosage Dr. Newman's website recommends is something like 3 pills 3x per day. So total, in one day, you would be taking 90mg. That is what I am taking and seems to be working, but I know another mama on these boards was taking 120mg per day and she had great results relactating. I am not "relactating" per se, but my supply had gotten pretty low, and now it is back to where I think it should be.
I definitely recommend checking out the guidance on Dr. Newman's website.
Good luck!!

Winners of the 2013 Art Award
Absolut is delighted to announce the winners of the 2013 Absolut Art Award. The 2013 prize for art work is awarded to Renata Lucas and the prize for Art Writing is awarded to Coco Fusco. As winning artist in the Art Work category, Renata Lucas receives a cash prize of €20,000 plus a budget of up to €100,000 to develop and produce a new art work, which will be donated to an Absolut partner institution. As winning Art Writer, Coco Fusco receives a cash prize of €20,000, complemented by a budget of up to €25,000 for the publication and distribution of a new book, in collaboration with a leading publishing house.
Coco Fusco (Writer)
Born 1960 in New York, lives in New York Coco Fusco is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist, writer and Director of Intermedia Initiatives at Parsons The New School for Design. In 2009 she was appointed Critic in painting/printmaking at Yale University. She has performed, lectured, exhibited and curated around the world since 1988. She is a recipient of a 2003 Herb Alpert Award in the Arts. Fusco's work combines electronic media and performance in a variety of formats, from staged multi-media performances incorporating large scale projections and closed circuit television to live performances streamed to the internet that invite audiences to chart the course of action through chat interaction. The Jury for the 2013 Absolut Art Award made the following statement about their choosing Coco Fusco as winner in the category of art writing: "The jury awards Coco Fusco, a leading voice in intercultural theory and practice since the 1980s, for her proposal to analyse recent performance practices in Cuba in a new publication. These practices project the abject body of those persons considered 'socially dangerous' by power against a body defined officially as 'revolutionary' and yet restrained and limited by that same power."
Renata Lucas (Artist)
Renata Lucas' practice is largely focused on temporary interventions into built environments, pushing the delineated boundaries of architectural and urban space, and asking questions about how our day-to-day lives and social behavior are affected by the spaces that surround us. Her work has a certain amount in common with the art of Lygia Clark and Gordon Matta-Clark. Lucas breaks up the standard and expected forms of various everyday surfaces and structures, offering alternative perspectives and pathways for those who encounter her work. Renata Lucas' installations and spatial interventions radically and playfully subvert the routes and approaches laid out for us by architects, planners, property owners and developers, and others whose authority and designs define our movements and sense of place. In each of her projects, Renata Lucas begins with a personal investigation of the chosen site. The Jury for the 2013 Absolut Art Award made the following statement about their choosing Renata Lucas as winner in the category of art: "The jury awards artist Renata Lucas for her proposal to create a fragmented and dispersed new museum. She will subtly alter ordinary locations, so that her participants will encounter modified spaces and enter into altered states of understanding of the various departments of this disarticulated museum and open social and public space – a renewed environment for the imaginary to thrive in".
Venice. 31 May 2013. 10 of the 76 nominees for the 2013 Absolut Art Award were named as finalists in the nomination process for the award at a special event at the Venice Biennale. The Absolut Art Award announced the names of 10 candidates in the categories of Art Work and Art Writing. Some of the world's most respected art world professionals were present for the announcement.
The new nomination process for The Absolut Art Award in 2013 has highlighted the richness and diversity of artistic strategies and forms of expressions around the world. The task taken on by the Jury to select a shortlist of nominees was by no means an easy one. The ten finalists for the 2013 Absolut Art Award are:

Considering the difficulty of this prestigious contest, this is an amazing feat for a band that only had 19 players on stage. Receiving a "Best In Class" award is a once in a lifetime achievement for many bands. This is the third one for our band.
Congratulations to all of the band members and Miss Olsson for a superior job.

I am running PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.1.3a. (+Apache 2.0.54, Slackware 0.1, kernel 126.96.36.199) When I run a PHP script that attempts to connect to MySQL I get the following error:
Database ERROR:Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock' (13)
I have placed my socket file on such location when I was configuring MySQL and PHP was compiled with --with-mysql-sock=/usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock (and even with /usr/local/mysql/tmp). I even edited my php.ini /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini, I have installed PHP with --prefix=/usr/local/php) and modified variable:
mysql.default_socket = "/usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock"
It still refuses to connect through the socket! I have also run a simple mysql_connect() script to see if the intended script was the culprit but again, it could not connect to MySQL.
phpinfo() indicates the following:
MYSQL_SOCKET /usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql
MYSQL_LIBS -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
And for directives:
mysql.default_port no value no value
mysql.default_socket /usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock /usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
That being said, I "CAN" connect to the database via "127.0.0.1" through TCP/IP but not through Unix Socket file. The permissions on mysql.sock is:
ls -la /usr/local/mysql/tmp/
total 0
drwxrwx--- 2 mysql mysql 80 2005-08-24 22:09 ./
drwxr-xr-x 13 root mysql 328 2005-08-22 20:03 ../
srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 2005-08-24 22:09 mysql.sock=
I do have /etc/my.cnf (644 permission). A "bind-address" directive has been set to "127.0.0.0" by default. I changed to "127.0.0.1" and even commented out, but no luck. /etc/my.cnf's socket file path and name in both [client] and [mysqld] section are the same and have been set accordingly (phpinfo() verifies that).
As far as MySQL user and database, the followings is the result of commandline connection:
mysql -h127.0.0.1 -D dbname -u<username> -p # Rejected, obviously
mysql -h<publicIP> -D dbname -u<username> -p # Rejected
mysql -hlocalhost -D dbname -u<username> -p # Accepted as I expected
So I don't understand why I can connect with host "localhost" in commandline or other "non-php" programs but not with PHP!! I have disabled networking connection to MySQL ("skip networking") in /etc/my.cfg as I run the necessary programs only on one system. All MySQL users (root and what not) only have privileges to "localhost" and nothing else.
I do have the following entries in my /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 myhostname.myhostname myhostname
I can ping my localhost, designated LAN IP, and 127.0.0.1 just fine by the way.
No, I do not run any DNS server on the machine that I am having this problem. The whole point of using locahost Vs. 127.0.0.1 is to avoid the overhead of TCP by using Unix socket file.
Again, I can connect to DB through other programs (non-php) or via commandline and even TCP but not through Unix socket file!! And this does not only happen with one PHP script attempting to connect or query the database but with even the simplest snippet of code.
[OH NO!] After some going back and forth and restarting MySQL, for some reason now my PHP scripts keep loosing connection during query through EVEN 127.0.0.1 [Database ERROR: Lost connection to MySQL server during query].
My last resort was to downgrad from PHP 5 to PHP 4.4.0 but I still suffer from the same error messages (localhost connection cannot connect through socket and 127.0.0.1 keeps loosing connection during query). NOTE, that this happens with every PHP scripts that attempts to access MySQL database.
I don't know, maybe I need some serious MySQL+PHP guru assistance.
