In an effort to curb abuses, the New York State Senate and Assembly have enacted a client disclosure law. This law applies to 48 professions in medical, engineering, law and accounting, to name a few.
The Sullivan County Legislature has been discussing the question, "Should county officials be required to publicly disclose their outside clients?" This measure would enable voters to decide for themselves whether legislators, their appointees or candidates in the upcoming election are engaged in any inappropriate conflicts of interest.
At the September 22 legislature meeting, Kathy Labuda announced that the county's current financial disclosure form/requirement "is a joke," implying publicly that it's worthless. All candidates for office and a majority of the incumbents have expressed strong support for the new measure. We need our legislators, before the election, to sponsor a resolution to bring this to a committee vote. Chairman Jonathan Rouis voiced support in principle, as long as it didn't include him. He claims confidentiality agreements are needed to guide his practice, but the new state law applies to lawyers/attorneys who also have confidentiality agreements.
County officials, such as Mr. Rouis, have a choice to comply or step aside if they value the anonymity of their clients over the interests of the public.

If you have watched the 'Wallander' television series, adapted from the books of Henning Mankell, you pretty much have the southern tip of Sweden in a nutshell.

More surprises await you here. The fabulous Kullaberg coastline in the north is dotted with fabulous fishing villages like Mölle and Arild and exclusive seaside towns such as Torekov and Båstad. Being one of Europe's richest farming areas southern Sweden is big on small-scale artisan food production and farmers market. The lamb, venison, goose and shellfish are wonderful. Enjoy them all in the restaurants, bistros, bars and cafés in Malmö.
Gothenburg and the West Coast have got international travel journalists and food bloggers eating out of their hands. Why? World-class seafood, world-class restaurants and a coastline and archipelago to die for.

New employment measurement method being created
Governor complains current way inaccurate
Gov. Scott Walker said he is developing a new way to measure Wisconsin's employment needs.
Walker has publicly complained about the accuracy of monthly unemployment data based on a survey of about 3.5 percent of Wisconsin businesses. The more accurate data, based on a census of nearly all Wisconsin businesses, comes quarterly and has a six-month lag.
Walker said that gap makes it difficult to use those numbers for making quick responses to the state's employment needs. He said he is moving forward with a real-time labor management system so the state can react to job needs better.
Walker promised in 2010 to create 250,000 private-sector jobs over four years. He's far from meeting that pledge.

The Heron Restaurant opens in Narrowsburg
January 18, 2012 —
The storefront that until recently was the home of the Main Street Café in Narrowsburg has a new restaurant and new proprietors. Marla Puccetti and Paul Nanni opened the doors of The Heron with a soft opening on January 14, and are now open for business. Nanni said that initially the restaurant will be open for breakfast and lunch on the weekdays, and brunch and dinners on the weekend.
The couple became acquainted with the area when friends bought a weekend home here two years ago. But, so far, Pucetti said, they have only been up here in the winter. "We fell in love with it, the town is really cute and charming and the people are really nice," she said. Also, the timing was right; they were looking for a new venture and they heard about the availability of the space.
Like other chefs in the region, Nanni has plans to keep the food as local as possible. "Working with local farms is really important to us," Puccetti said. "Paul is excited about working with farmers and creating his menus around what they have available."
The restaurant can be reached at 845/252-3333.
Best of Luck
It is so nice to see that young people still have the courage to open a business in these times. It is a tough road for an entrepreneur anymore and I sincerely wish you the best. I hope you don't actually serve roast heron!

This is the deepest latch I can manage...She is not swallowing as u can see and hear,,,what am i doing wrong??
There are 2 clips.
This is the deepest latch I can manage...She is not swallowing as u can see and hear,,,what am i doing wrong??
There are 2 clips.
To me it looks good. In the second clip I could see her swallowing. Is it just me?
Loving my two sweet girls Audrey (7/18/06) and Annie (6/18/09) Baby #3 due to appear 8/5/10
Feel free to ask me about my successful HBAC , food allergies, cloth diapers, and the joy of having a high-needs, non-sleeping little dear who has grown into a wonderful preschooler.
Blogging here.
I had the same problem when I started out my nursing relationship with Peter. Your clip bought back so many memories of nursing a newborn! to you for posting this clip and seeking advice!
First of all, when your LO delatched from your nipple, her tongue was doing the right thing....the motion she was making is how she massages your nipple to express milk.
Secondly, it looked in the video like the was sucking and swallowing, but I know that Peter did this too initially, and he was just sucking, but not getting anything down. What helped me with this issue was to make my breast into a 'sandwich'. Using the opposite hand to the side you are feeding on, cup your hand into a C shape, and hold your breast like that. This helps your breast to comform to the natural shape of babies mouth. Once you are holding your breast in the c shape, bring baby to your breast pushing your breast in as far as you can. You may need to help position her.
Let me know how you go, and I can try and take a video later today of what I mean if you are still having trouble.
Hang in there! You're doing great!
is her bottom lip curled under? I know that it sometimes prevents proper nursing. I used to look at my DD throat to see if she was swallowing... I agree she looked like she was swallowing in the second clip. I didn't hear my little one gulp too much until a few days after my milk came it and she was better at nursing. Do you have any BF clincs in your area. I know that in ONTARIO Canada there are a bunch that you can go to and a lactation consultant will sit with you while you feed and let you know if the baby is nursing. They also weight the baby before and after you feed so you can actually measure how much the baby is drinking. Or do you have a friend that has nursed and can come over and help. I found the hands on help really made it easier.
Good luck!

My body creates, houses, nurtures and nourishes life. That is awesome.
Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
If you can watch this video (it shows how to do the "c" or "u" hold that the pp mentioned).
To sum it up:
-the lips are fished out (top lip curled up, bottom lip curled down)
-the bottom lip is close to the edge of the areola so that the jaw and tounge can massage the areola
-cheeks are soft and relaxed
-jaw movement seen near the ear
-draw a line from her nose to her earlobe and the midpoint is where your nipple should be
-chin to breast not her nose
-hear swallowing
-and IT SHOULD NOT BE PAINFUL, if it is de-latch and try again.
The clip looks good, it is a little hard to see from the angle though.
She looks good, esp in the second clip she is getting a good bit of milk. You can watch her ears move and you can see her swallowing. Good job momma!
Just saw the second clip (not sure why I didn't see it before), SHE LOOKS PERFECT! & YOU CAN HEAR HER SWALLOW GREAT JOB MAMA!!!!!
In addition to hearing her swallow in the second clip, you can see the break in the chin when she has a mouthful and swallows. Compare what your seeing to the clips on Dr. Newman's website.
Under latching there are 9 clips to view.
I think you are on the right track =) Don't forget to count wets...that helps too see how much your LO is getting at the breast.

Public School Recognition
Recognition Status of Schools
Based on a review by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and recommendations from the applicable regional superintendent of schools, each public school district and school in Illinois is given an annual recognition status. Such status is a general indication of the extent to which the district and/or school complies with provisions of the Illinois School Code and its implementing regulations. The following status levels (click on the statuses for a description):
Fully Recognized
Each school or district that meets the requirements imposed by law, including the requirements established by the State Board pursuant to Section 2-3.25 of the School Code and this Part, shall be fully recognized. [23 Ill Admin. Code 1.20 (b) (1)]
Recognized Pending Further Review
A school or district shall be recognized pending further review if it exhibits areas of noncompliance that:
- are not serious enough to warrant probation as delineated in subsection (b)(2) of this Section; and
- may be corrected prior to the end of the school year following the school year in which they were identified.
A district shall be recognized pending further review whenever one or more of the district's schools are first removed from full recognition, whether recognized pending further review or placed on probation. The district shall subsequently be placed on probation if the instances of noncompliance cited for one or more schools have not been corrected within the time allowed under subsection (b)(3)(B) of this Section. [23 Ill Admin. Code 1.20 (b) (3)]
The superintendent of a district that is recognized pending further review or in which one or more schools are recognized pending further review may, within 30 days after receipt of notification to this effect, request a conference at which representatives of the district will have an opportunity to discuss compliance issues with representatives of the State Board of Education. [23 Ill Admin. Code 1.20 (d)]
A school or district shall be placed on probation if it:
- exhibits deficiencies that present a health hazard or a danger to students or staff;
- fails to offer required coursework;
- employs personnel who lack the required qualifications and who are not in the process of attaining such qualifications;
- fails or refuses to serve students according to relevant legal and/or regulatory requirements; and/or
- prolongs or repeats instances of noncompliance to a degree that indicates an intention not to comply with relevant requirements [23 IAC 1.20 (b) (2)].
The State Superintendent shall schedule a conference with the superintendent of a district that is placed on probation, or in which one or more schools are placed on probation, at which representatives of the district will discuss compliance issues with representatives of the State Board of Education. Within 60 days following this conference, the school district shall submit to the regional superintendent of schools and the State Superintendent of Education a corrective plan that conforms to the requirements of subsection (f) of this Section.
- If the plan is required to relate to areas of noncompliance at the district level, the plan shall be signed by the secretary of the local board of education as evidence that the board adopted a resolution authorizing its submission.
- If the plan is required to relate to areas of noncompliance at one or more schools, the plan shall be signed by the district superintendent and each affected principal [23 Ill Admin. Code 1.20 (e)].
The State Superintendent of Education shall respond to the submission of a plan within 15 days after receiving it and may consult with the regional superintendent of schools to determine the appropriateness of the actions proposed by the district to correct the cited deficiencies. The State Superintendent shall approve a plan if it:
- specifies steps to be taken by the district that are directly related to the area or areas of noncompliance cited;
- provides evidence that the district has the resources and the ability to take the steps described without giving rise to other issues of compliance that would lead to probationary status; and
- specifies a timeline for correction of the cited deficiencies that is demonstrably linked to the factors leading to noncompliance and is no longer than needed to correct the identified problems [23 Ill Admin. Code 1.20 (f)].
- it does not submit an approvable plan of remediation as required in the procedures delineated for probationary status; or
- the State Superintendent determines that the agreed-upon actions are not being implemented in accordance with the plan or the underlying areas of noncompliance are not being remedied.

Hello all nursing mamas! My 2 yr old continues to nurse 4 to 6 or more times a night. I do not want to wean and the few times I have said "The neh-neh's need to sleep," she has been inconsolable so of course I nurse her! I am so sleep deprived that I feel I am not as good a mama as I could be. I do nap with her, but I only sleep for 20-40 minutes before waking up. It helps but won't really do it. She nurses a lot in the day too. I do offer foods but that doesn't seem to affect the amount of nursing. I am starting to see that it really is about emotional connection and her own pace of emotional development, even though breastmilk is still her primary food source too. I am an at-home mama so we spend most of our time together and we are very attached and happy to be together, but I am functioning at a level of burn-out rather than adequate energy.
I'm sure one of you has been through this so I'd like to hear your experience and how you handled it.
Many thanks!

Electronic Transfer of Record on Appeal to Fourth District Appellate Court
On October 26, 2011, the Illinois Supreme Court filed M.R. 18368, which authorized the electronic transfer of the record on appeal originating in Adams County to the Fourth District Appellate Court on a pilot basis.
Under the pilot project, one official record pursuant to Supreme Court rules will remain but a mirror record will be produced electronically with identical pagination. The accessible electronic record will include transcripts of the trial and associated hearings, motions, other pleadings and documents. It will exclude exhibits such as photos and physical evidence such as weapons, clothing and the like. The pilot will allow attorneys, parties and appellate justices to electronically view, access and work from the official record of cases on appeal.
The pilot makes the physical transfer of the record unnecessary, removes the cost of repeatedly transporting the record back and forth from the Appellate Clerk's office.

Neogeography, GIS, and image editing software has made it easy for anyone to create a map. However, the over reliance on base maps (the basic country outline which people then edit to create their own maps) and geographic illiteracy has map the appearance of bad maps more common.
Two examples this past week pushed me over the edge.
- At a meeting of independent and government analysts discussing the outlook of the South China Sea a government-made map labeled the island of Hainan "Taiwan." When I discussed this error with the cartographer he/she shrugged it off and replied "I'm not a geographer." If it were just a labelling error that would be one thing but the mislabelling also effected the data displayed on the map. Readers of the map were given the wrong information because of the geographic error.
- The second error is a popular online map making the rounds (featured at Coming Anarchy). The map uses an old base map and ignores country winners because of the bad base data. Also, the probable use of data from the Guardian makes any United Nations wins show up as victories for the United States.
I know this is a rant but bad maps can lead to serious problems. This is more than a "hey, let us laugh at the Weather Channel for using map data that went out of date in 1990 by showing two Yemens." Bad maps are a sign geographic illiteracy. The use of bad maps in understanding business and political situation can lead to disaster. Whether knowing if a valley village is Pashtun or Dari to knowing what the zoning law states, good maps are needed to succeed.

There are a lot of statistics in baseball and softball, but after a pit bull interrupted a Western Oregon University softball game this week, the sport needs one more: stolen gloves.
Western Oregon's game with Simon Fraser University had a brief delay when a pit bull sprinted onto the field at the conclusion of a ground out. The dog immediately stole the Western Oregon shortstop's glove, then set his targets on the left fielder.
"There's a dog on the field! Oh boy. That's something you don't see every day," the play-by-play announcer said.
The dog made a leaping grab for the left fielder's glove, then ran off with the new chew toy in his mouth, making a few sprints around the field.
"He's just wreaking havoc on this game," the color commentator said.
Eventually, the dog made a run for right field and finally gave up the glove, then headed back to the stands with a final stat line of 0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors and 2 stolen gloves.
In the days since Western Oregon's 9-0 win over Simon Fraser, the dog has become an Internet star.
"Softball Glove-Stealing Pit Bull Is The Second-Best Sports Dog," said Deadspin. "Dog delay! Pit bull terrier interrupts college softball game and swipes 2 gloves," said Yahoo.

Healthy wildlife depends on healthy habitat
We might want a paragraph here defining what habitat is, why it's important and what the division's role in managing it is.
I'm seeing this a home page for all habitat- and conservation-related information — similar to what we've done with the main hunting and fishing pages. Many of those areas, like the seed warehouse pages or the range trend studies pages, don't have the traffic to warrant separate main menu items, so grouping them all together on this page might be best.
What I don't see is this being the landing page for the DWR habitat section. Instead, this part of the Web site is sort of a catchall page for habitat-related things on the Web site. This might include both terrestrial and aquatic habitat information.

Claire Parson's Marmalade
Claire Parson is back with a delicious performance for very young children.
It's about meeting, mixing and blending. A bit like marmalade, in fact. But – what is marmalade? It is cherry, pear, fig, mint, up and down, together or inside out?
Claire Parson's playful and elegant movement language creates comedy and generates emotions and atmospheres. In Marmalade, the world is explored through all the senses – the body, the eyes, touch and taste.
At NorrlandsOperan, we have previously encountered Claire Parsons inBlow and before that in 500 Embraces.
Participants: Mia Björkman and Viktor Gyllenberg
Choreographer: Claire Parsons
Recommended ages: 2–6

Honolulu police say a 9-year-old boy was arrested on Wednesday after he was accused of robbing a Kalihi store.
The police report said the boy entered the store at around 7:40 a.m. and took out a dangerous instrument while threatening a 58-year-old woman.
The boy opened a Nestle Dibs ice cream display freezer and checked if there were any products inside. The suspect saw that the display was empty and left the store without any merchandise, according to the police report.
The boy was arrested at 10:06 a.m. for first-degree robbery. He was released pending further investigation.

18 Credits
With the dramatic increase in enrollment of English Language Learners in the United States, there is a great need for well-prepared ESL teachers!
An ESL endorsement is a valuable addition to a teacher's knowledge base and marketability.
The ESL Endorsement program is an 18-credit certification program designed for both the students who apply directly to MAT programs at Monmouth University and certified teaching practitioners who intend to seek such an endorsement as a stand-alone program. The program prepares teachers for both school or community-based ESL programs and K-12 classrooms with mainstreamed ESL students, and addresses both the NJ State requirement for ESL endorsement and the TESOL/NCATE Program Standards.
You must be a certified teacher or hold a NJ Certificate of Eligibility (CE) ESL, and be employed in an ESL position requiring certification.
See requirements for English as a Second Language Endorsement
12 Credits
The Bilingual/Bicultural Endorsement program intends to address the NJ State requirement for bilingual/bicultural endorsement. The five domains (linguistics, language acquisition, developing literacy skills for the second language learner, methods of teaching content in bilingual education, and theory and practice of teaching bilingual education) required by the NJ State will be addressed in a manner that utilizes collaborative effort from the expertise of different schools and departments. An addition of one course focusing on theory and practice of teaching bilingual education to the exiting ESL endorsement program will fulfill the State requirement for a bilingual/ bicultural endorsement program.
See requirements for the Bilingual/Bicultural Endorsement Program
General Structure of the Bilingual/Bicultural Endorsement Program
1. A degree in a K-12 school curriculum content area;
2. Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing, or a Standard NJ instructional certificate, or a Certificate of Eligibility with a teaching position in an ESL/Bilingual setting.
3. A passing score for nationally recognized text of oral and written proficiency in both English and the target language;
4. The completion of the following course requirement as an added part of an initial certification program:
24 Credits
The Chinese subject endorsement is a 24-credit non-degree program that leads to the New Jersey Teacher of Chinese Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS). It is for candidates with a bachelor's degree who possess 30 credits or more in the Chinese language and culture. The program may be completed within 8 to 12 months for full-time students or longer period for part-time students.

With the 2012 season officially in the rearview mirror, it's time to look ahead to 2013. Newly designed cars, faces in new places and a new champion set to defend his title are just some of the storylines to watch as we gear up for another exciting season of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing in 2013.
Here's a look at 10 things to watch for next year:
It all starts at Daytona. Feb. 24, 2013. That's when it all begins with the running of the 55th annual Daytona 500. Since 1998, only one driver (Jimmie Johnson in 2006) has won "The Great American Race" and gone on to win the championship in the same season. It has, however, provided breakout moments for the likes of Trevor Bayne (2010), Jamie McMurray (2009) and Michael Waltrip (twice).
"Gen 6" has arrived. The much-anticipated sixth-generation racecar will make its debut at February's Daytona 500. The smaller, racier car should put control back in the driver's hands with the hopes of providing tighter racing. Of course, there will be issues as the season wears on, but this season could come down to which teams figure things out the quickest.
NASCAR rules. Several rule changes will be implemented in 2013. For instance, the top
Can Bad Brad repeat as champion? Well, the simple answer is yes. He can. Will he? Well, that's where it gets a little more complicated. The No. 2 Miller Lite (he likes that beer) Dodge was a fuel-mileage savior for Penske Racing this season, but that might change a bit in 2013. Penske is switching to Fords for 2013, which means Brad Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe will have some learning to do this offseason. But if we learned nothing else from Keselowski this past season, we know his work ethic and attention to detail is second to none.
Will the Bowyer/Gordon rivalry carryover? It's likely this isn't the beginning of a budding new feud that will match the likes of great NASCAR rivalries of the past. But, Clint Bowyer may feel like he owes Jeff Gordon one after what happened at Phoenix. After all, his unforgettable sprint to the No. 24 hauler was certainly entertaining, but there still might be some on-track business to be settled.
Danica watch. Right or wrong, Danica Patrick is a media darling and a fan favorite. But given her offseason off-the-track personal issues, there's little doubt that she's going to do everything she can to make sure the focus is back to her on-track abilities. Patrick finished a solid 10th while running full-time in the Nationwide Series this season and appears ready to take on the big boys every weekend in the Cup Series in 2013. And with Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman as teammates, it isn't likely she'll get pushed around too much.
Kenseth 2.0. His final days with Roush Fenway Racing were emotional for Matt Kenseth, but like a true champion he went out with dignity. Instead of packing it in, Kenseth won twice in the Chase and seemed rejuvenated over the final 10 races of the season. That's good news for Joe Gibbs Racing, which inherits a former champion and a pilot that could show even more fire and passion with the likes of Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin as teammates.
Carl vs. Kyle vs. Joey. Which non-2012 Chase driver has the best chance to make the playoff in 2013? All signs point to Kyle Busch, who finished the final 10 races with seven top-fives. But with Joey Logano moving to the now ultra-confident Penske Racing team and Carl Edwards needing desperately to erase a horrendous 2012, it's not a stretch to believe all three will not only make the Chase, but compete for the championship next year.
Safer bet: Johnson or the Hendrick field? Dale Earnhardt Jr. has unfinished business. Kasey Kahne was a threat throughout the Chase. And Jeff Gordon showed he still has the fervor to be a champion. Then there's Jimmie Johnson, whose once robotic, error-free team looked all too human over the final two weeks of the season. Make no mistake, Mr. Five-Time is still a threat, but his teammates might have something to say about his chances in 2013.
NASCAR returns to "The Magic Mile." Kasey Kahne and Denny Hamlin will be back at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to defend their July and September titles, respectively. The New Hampshire 300 on July 14 comes one week after the series' night return to Daytona and one race before its only stop at Indy, while the Sept. 22 race will once again be the second stop in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Will the eventual Cup champ begin his ascent at "The Magic Mile?"

Very nice peter. Could be used as an anthem for all highway enthusiasts. Much better than this line, "bulandiyon ke musafir ko kaun samjhaaye ke aage raah mein dhalaan aati hai"

Thanks, Avy. Ha!: "bulandiyon " (or the translation) might work as a billboard, but as a standard traffic sign a driver would never have enough time to read it. Well, the same might be said of a limerick. Not sure about which is more singable.

We play a limerick game on another forum I frequent, but we have to make up the next line only...............we get results like this................
Riding a horse gave Camilla much pleasure
she had spasm's of joy as it tickled her treasure
Which even Charles had yet to discover its location
He even tried appealing to the nation
and using his riding crop and spurs for good measure.

Throwin' My Friend Under the Proverbial Bus
Despite the simple fact that 90% of the entries on this highly contested blog are written by me, let me remind everyone that this is, in theory, a site authored by two different people. Many of you know that Allen Krause, my partner/opponent/evil-twin in this baseball debate, is the blue in Blue State, the tig in Tiger, the dumb in Dumber. We started Red State Blue State because we had a nasty habit of writing extremely wordy and often hateful diatribes back and forth to one another during the baseball season; so we thought: "hey, let's make the awful things we say available to the public!"
So far so good… at least that's how I feel because I have actually been writing posts and having a great time doing it. But I gotta tell ya, it's not as fun pointing out how wrong someone is when that someone disappears for weeks at a time.
I know, I know… but Al works for the Government and he's extremely busy saving U.S. Americans from the evils of the world so I can focus on more important things like finding out what exactly a gyro-ball is and whether or not I can find Erica Hill's address so I can see if she's really that hot in person. Of course, I was giving Al the benefit of the doubt — until tonight.
You see, I was in my own perfect little world: American Idol was on the television, Cardinals/Rockies game was on one computer, live scoreboards/gametrackers/fantasy stats were on the other. Serene. It really was. Then, I got a text…
"Watching ur girl on american idol rite now"
–Allen Krause
What!?!? Allen has enough time to watch American Idol but he can't write a post and respond to the fact that he's not a real Tigers fan or that his MLB/NFL manager/coach comparison was blasphemous or that he's just simply retarded?
Look, I love American Idol just as much as the next sensible, 29 year-old, heterosexual, extremely single male. But I also have priorities. I understand the fine art of scheduling. I make time for the things that are important in life: baseball, CNN, Mozart. Al hasn't been blogging because he's been out saving the world… he hasn't been blogging because he's been oogling my girlfriend! In fact, while I was watching Ramiele do her thang, I was also watching Lohse pitch five scoreless innings against the Rockies. It's called multi-tasking. I'm a child of divorce. I'm great at it.
So I have no choice but to call Allen out — yet again — on his unacceptable behavior. Readers, I invite you to do the same. Maybe Al will be welcomed back with open arms…
…like… (*cue the cheesy segue)…
How about that! During the Opening Day festivities, one thing that really excited me was listening to Steve Stone's debut on WSCR The Score's broadcast of the Chicago White Sox. Finally, Chicago has brought him back for good as he signed a contract to do the color commentating for the Sox full time this year. This is great for Southsiders and anyone who enjoys listening to a game on the radio. Stoney is one of the most informative, uncensored, learned broadcasters in the game. And remember, I am, and always have been, a Cardinals fan. In fact, during my childhood, Stoney was the only redeeming quality of the entire Chicago Cubs organization. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks — because he's usually right — and he isn't arrogant about it. That voice? It's like buttuh.
And now he will be affiliated with a Chicago team that can actually call themselves winners. Welcome to the Southside, Stoney.
And Al, welcome to my s***list.
I just ask that you don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
7 Comments
Couldn't help but noticing that Stoney strongly resembles the logo on his cap. Damn, that's creepy!
Michael Norton – Some Clubhouse
How you can favour Ramiele whilst Syesha is still in there is a mystery to me.
Michael, good point on the Stoney/Oriole resemblance. It's kind of like how humans start to look like their dogs after a while, which explains why I am spotted and have a long nose.
Russell, I am pretty short, so Ramiele is pefect for me; but now that she is a loser, I will reconsider Syeesha or perhaps even goody goody Brooke White. She could use some devlish influence.
At least two of the following three statements are true:
I once worked with a woman named "Stoney".
I'm one of only 743 people west of the Mississippi to have never watched a single episode of American Idol.
I attended Heil School with Ann Coulter.
Red State – Blue State, Jeff – Allen, Ike – Tina….. All of these match up perfectly.
Allen, let's put down the remote control, cell phone, tissue and jergens and get back in the game for God's Sake!!! The Greeny and Golic comparison is slowly changing to the Colin Cowherd and a random groupie comparison.
Wow, Matt… what a riddle. I will have to go with the first two being true, because even though I really want to believe that Ann Coulter went to a school called "Heil", I don't believe a nice guy like you did.
Probably best if you avoid Idol; if you're like me, you'll get hooked.
I did actually go to "high" school with Ann. She wasnt as nuts then, or as blonde, come to think of it.

text: I am at a total loss on what to do. My daughter is 4 months old and she is refusing to breastfeed now. She gets upset when she starts to nurse and my let down doesn't happen immediately. It was never a problem until the last few days. My husband had been using a medium flow nipple while I was at work but we switched back to a slow flow in hopes that she would go back to nursing but she still refuses. I have been back at work for about 6 weeks now and she was taking a bottle while I am at work. She has always breastfed at night no problem but now the last 2 nights she screams and cries when I try and get her to breastfeed. It is the same during the day. I don't know what to do. I can't stand to see her so upset and last night I spent 45 minutes trying to get her to nurse. I ended up giving her a bottle because she was not giving in. Does anyone have any advice I what I can do? I hate the thought of having to just pump. I have a good supply. Please help!

Nursing Supplies Aid in the Care of Patients
A busy medical practice or urgent care center runs on the care of its nurses, and ordering plenty of nursing supplies ensures that patients get the care that they need. Tuck plenty of specimen collection cups and tongue depressors in exam rooms, supply closets and common areas so that you aren't left searching around for one during a routine exam. Your nurses need to have suture and staple removal tools just a few feet away to remove stitches quickly and send the healed patient on his way. Nurses can use adhesive removers to wipe away residue from bandages so that patients aren't pulling out body hair to get rid of it.
Jars and Lab Trays Help Nurses Do Their Jobs
Quill carries Medline and Mabis jars and lab trays so that your nursing staff can organize the essential tools required for a routine patient exam or get ready to put stitches into the teenager that wiped out on his skateboard. Store tongue depressors, cotton balls and variety of other items in clear jars so that your staff can easily see what they need and don't waste time opening and closing containers looking for the correct item. When it comes time to stitch up a cut, your nurse needs a laceration tray on deck to help get the patient in and out as quickly as possible.
Medical Swabs and Applicators Aid in Gentle Treatment
Keystone Industries and Dynarex swabs and applicators make it easy for your nursing staff to get a saliva sample or apply a topical antibiotic cream. Applicators with cotton tips are soft against the skin of a patient who already has a bruise or a cut, and they make patients more comfortable. When cough and cold season kick in, order extra swabs to keep in exam rooms and common areas so that a nurse can quickly swab a cheek for the lab to determine why the patient isn't feeling well and determine the best course of treatment.
Store IV Supplies and Central Line Dressing Trays for Emergencies
From car accidents to dehydration, each emergency that arrives at your clinic needs immediate attention and may raise the possibility of an IV or central line. Your nurses can quickly gather the IV supplies or central line dressing tray when you place them in exam rooms and the supply closet. Drive Medical and Medline medical supplies provide the IV poles your nurses need to hang an IV bag to ready the patient for transport to another treatment room or care facility, as well as dressing trays that your doctors rely on to place a central line. With a central line tray, the nurse has the sterile gloves and face mask needed to provide protection for your staff and patients along with alcohol wipes and iodine swabs.

Event Preview Fact Sheet
Paul Menard
No. 27 Zecol/Menards Chevrolet
TUMS Fast Relief 500
Oct. 28, 2012
Martinsville (Va.) Speedway
RACE NOTES and QUOTES:
This Week's Zecol/Menards Chevrolet at Martinsville Speedway ... Paul Menard will pilot Chassis No. 349 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable in this weekend's Tums Fast Relief 500. This Chevrolet was last raced at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in September, where Menard started seventh and finished 12th, his career-best result at the one-mile race track. This chassis was also utilized this season at Martinsville Speedway (April – started 11th/finished 26th) and at New Hampshire in July (started 13th/ finished 17th).
By the Numbers at Martinsville ... In 10 previous starts at Martinsville Speedway, Menard has completed 94.9 percent of his laps (4,779 of 5,034), has an average starting position of 23.4 and a 23rd-place average finishing position. His best finish of 13th came in the October 2010 event and his best start at the 0.526-mile speedway came in March 2010 when he took the green flag in the ninth position.
By the Numbers in 2012 ... With 32 points-paying events of the 2012 season completed, Menard sits 16th in the Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings on the merit of one top-five and eight top-10 finishes. In his sophomore season with RCR, Menard has an average starting position of 16.3, an average finishing position of 15.6, maintains an Average Running Position of 17.279 and has completed 99.6 percent of his laps (8,988 of 9,021), the third-best of all drivers.
Virginia is for…racing! ... No. 27 Zecol/Menards team tire specialist Chris Sherwood is a Portsmouth, Va., native, growing up four hours east of the Martinsville, Va.-based facility.
Race Rewind to 2011 ... Menard and the No. 27 Richmond/Menards team escaped the 2011 action-packed fall race at Martinsville Speedway with a top-25 finish. Menard started the 500-lap race from the 21st position and by the event's midpoint, handling had improved on the No. 27 machine and he was scored 15th in the running order. Contact on lap 425 with another competitor left Menard's yellow No. 27 racer with significant right-side damage. Menard spent the remainder of the race trying to secure track position and ultimately earned a 24th-place result.
Golfing for a Cause … Crew chief Slugger Labbe, shock specialist Kris McCabe and tire specialist Chris Sherwood are scheduled to participate in the Gear Heads Golfing to Wreck Cancer tournament on Thursday, Oct. 25 at Mallard Head Golf Course in Mooresville, N.C. All proceeds from the charity golf event will benefit fellow NASCAR family members, Sammy Gonzalez and Monty Grice, both battling pancreatic cancer.

Their unique product mix offers competitively priced, high quality additives, cleaners and functional fluids along with winter commodities and bulk sizes to meet the needs of the professional mechanic and retail consumer.

In the Rearview Mirror: Kansas Speedway ... Menard took what he learned of the new track surface at Kansas Speedway during the NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday and, with crew chief Slugger Labbe back on top of the pit box after a six-week hiatus, turned it into a very strong third-place finish in the Kansas 400 Sprint Cup Series race.
As we head to Martinsville Speedway for the last short-track race of the year, how do you feel the No. 27 Chevrolet team has performed on the short tracks this season?
"Our short-track program has been our weakness this year. We've had good speed at Martinsville (Speedway) in the past, however, it's just a game of track position – when to pit, when not to and when to put tires on. We've had fast cars; it's just a matter of making the right adjustments, me giving the right feedback and Slugger (Labbe, crew chief) making the right calls to pit when we need to and stay out when we don't in order to get the finish we should."
You grew up racing on short tracks. How come Martinsville Speedway is so difficult for drivers to 'figure out'?
"The track (Martinsville Speedway) itself is pretty straightforward. It's pretty easy to drive, to be honest. What makes it difficult is it is a 500-lap race and you have only one lane with 43 cars on the track. It becomes a game of bumper cars for the most part, and it is very easy to get shuffled out of line and to lose a lot of spots."
How difficult is it to get into a rhythm at Martinsville Speedway?
"It is really hard to get into a rhythm when you're surrounded by other cars for 500 laps. You can get into a rhythm for a couple of laps, but then it gets broken when you try to pass someone or you're getting passed. It's an ongoing battle. If you have space, you can get back into your rhythm. But, if you don't have space, you can't be in a rhythm."
Last year's race at Martinsville Speedway got pretty physical. Were you surprised that there were so many crashes in that event?
"It didn't surprise me at all. I'm actually surprised that we don't have more crashes (at Martinsville Speedway) with as little room as there is and how much is at stake when we go there in the fall."
Where does Martinsville Speedway rank in race tracks for you? Do you dread going there?
"I don't really care one way or another, honestly. It's not my favorite track, but it's not my least favorite either."

Expert Q & A Answers About STD prevention condoms
I don't have any STDs and my partner says he's clean...should he still get tested?
I had a medical exam with my gynecologist not too long ago and everything went well, so it's safe to say that I have no diseases. A guy whom I currently see has never been tested for any sexual diseases, and he says he doesn't have any. I trust him, but I don't trust the other people he has been with. Is it necessary for him to get tested, too? Do we need to use condoms?

LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — "These are the days of our lives." Those words made famous by television's timelessly popular soap opera aptly apply to the young men and women who have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their exploits on the fields and trails this fall. These precious autumn days are waning, but the memories encoded therein will not fade, thanks to the thousands of photos taken and the stories written that will preserve these noble youthful endeavors for time immemorial. The great triumvirate of high school fall athletics, namely football, soccer and cross-country, will soon reach their respective denouement, but for now the glory days are still unfolding.
This past week's OCIAA championship was a great forerunner to the November 1 Section IX Cross-Country championships that will be run on the same course at Bear Mountain. Running against all comers from schools large and small, harriers at the OCIAA meet sought to test their mettle against the course and their own class competitors in the Section IX meet. There, the top team from each class along with the five top runners aside from those on the winning team will qualify to run in the state meet at Queensbury High School on November 9. Sullivan County had its share of great performances at the OCIAA race. Tops among county boys was Monticello's Joe Klein (16:29.74) who took 24th place. Tri-Valley junior Ian Kurzrock (16:39.40) was 28th. Teammates Hauk Boyes (17:31.24), Brenden Hasbrouck (17:45.24) and Aidan Woolsey (17:56.27) were 63rd, 70th and 78th respectively. Eldred's Kevin Maas (17:59.03) was 78th and Sullivan West's Dan Paparella (18:18.08) shattered his personal best time by 30 seconds as took 81st just ahead of T-V's Justin Weintraub (18:12:58) in 82nd and Eldred's Jake Willoughby (18:18.08) in 86th out of the field of 156 runners. Team-wise, Port Jervis took first place. T-V finished 12th, Monticello was 16th. Sullivan West was 17th, Liberty 20th, Livingston Manor 22nd and Fallsburg 23rd.
In the girls race Monticello's Camryn Johnson (18:55.24) was the county's best in 12th place. Her twin sister Sydney Johnson (19:29.25) was 19th. Sullivan West's Courtney Meyerer (20:09.93) was 36th just ahead of Eldred eighth grade phenom Kayla Maas (20:12.59) in 39th place. Sullivan West's Kelsey Dutton (20:13.86) was 40th. Maas and Dutton look to return to states this year. Sullivan West hopes its top three runners that include Meyerer, Dutton and Corrine VanWagner (20:48.21) in 48th place will all make it to the big race. Finishing ahead of Dutton in 43rd place was Tri-Valley's Alex Brooks (20:34.34). The Lady Bears to places 50, 51 and 52 with Brittany Pennell (20:49.50, Autumn Bender (20:58:88) and Sabrena Smith (20:53.90). Team-wise it was Tri-Valley in eighth, Monticello in 11th and Sullivan West in 14th. The girls field featured 130 runners. The Lady Bears are the defending Section IX class C champions and with their depth look to be the odds-on favorite to retain their crown. In the Section IX Class D boys soccer sectionals, number-one-seeded Eldred (8-6-2) played third seeded Family School (5-8-1) on October 29. The Yellow Jackets were seeking their first-ever Section IX boys soccer title. Their last appearance in the title game was in 1988. In Class B, sixth-seeded Fallsburg fell to number three Rhinebeck 4-0. Fifth-seeded Liberty (10-6) beat number four Highland 4-0 in the quarterfinals and faced Rhinebeck in the semifinals on October 29. In girls soccer sectionals top-seeded Eldred played second-seed Livingston Manor on October 29 for the Section IX title. Meanwhile seventh-seeded Liberty (6-7) fell to number two-seeded James I. O'Neill 5-1.
In football, Roscoe/Downsville Livingston Manor punched its ticket to the Section IX Class D title game vs. Chester with a 39-13 win over Eldred. Liberty fell to John S. Burke Catholic 46-12 in a non-league preview of the Class C semifinals slated for November 1 at Dietz Stadium. Sullivan West defeated Tri-Valley 61-21 as Jared Meola, Richard Shevak and Andrew Stabbert racked up two touchdowns apiece. Brian Stauch and Travis Roeder each had one TD for the Westies 3-4 (1-2 Class C Division II). Justin Swartout had two rushing TD's for the Bears and Jared James caught a 60-yard TD pass for the other T-V score. T-V fell to 0-8 (0-3 Class C Division II).

@Crazy: have you looked at your clock? It's around 7.5 hours before the tip-off...
JPZ17 is late with his thread again.
Either that or he's forgotten again.
Looking for discussion about the big game.
here's the preview:
Jeremy Lins emergence from utter obscurity has the New York Knicks gaining confidence and victories.
Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers are rarely lacking in either of those categories.
A budding fan favorite among the faithful at Madison Square Garden, Lin faces possibly his toughest test yet Friday night as the Knicks attempt to defeat Bryant and the Lakers at home for the first time in more than five years.
New York (11-15) was one of the NBAs biggest disappointments during a woeful 2-11 stretch Jan. 12-Feb. 3, but Lin has provided a much-needed spark since then.
The second-year point guard, who played only sparingly prior to the last three games, is averaging 25.3 points and 8.3 assists during the Knicks three-game winning streak.
Lins opportunity has come amid the absence of Knicks stars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. Anthony is out with a strained right groin, while Stoudemire isnt expected back from grieving the death of his brother until Tuesday at Toronto.
In the meantime, Lins sudden production and popularity has the Knicks selling shirts with Linsanity emblazoned across the front.
He lived up to the hype again Wednesday, scoring 23 points while shooting 9 of 14 from the floor and adding 10 assists in a 107-93 win at Washington.
Like I said after the last game, I wouldnt have imagined this, said Lin, who went undrafted out of Harvard in 2010 and played his rookie season with Golden State, averaging 2.6 points in 29 games as a reserve.
Lin may be reviving both the Knicks season and embattled coach Mike DAntonis job security.
I think its for real, DAntoni said of Lins surge. The things that are real are his vision, which wont change; his speed, which wont change; his knowledge of the game, which wont change. I think it can only get better.
He just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to play.
Lin and the Knicks, who are looking to match their season-high four game winning streak from Jan. 6-11, are in for a major test against the Lakers (15-11).
The Knicks have lost nine in a row to Los Angeles, including four straight at MSG. They fell 99-82 in Los Angeles on Dec. 29, when Lin scored two points in 1:40 of playing time.
Bryant, the league leader with 29.2 points per game, has averaged 33.4 points during the Lakers nine-game winning streak in this series. Hes averaging an incredible 40.0 points in his last four visits to New York, including a 33-point effort in a 113-96 victory last Feb. 11.
Teammate Pau Gasol had 25 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks Thursday as the Lakers won 88-87 in overtime at Boston. One of the blocks came at the final buzzer to secure the victory.
Ive been in situations before in my career where you freeze catch yourself looking at the ball and end up losing the game, Gasol said.
Gasol is averaging 26.8 points and 9.0 rebounds in his last four road games against the Knicks.
@Crazy: have you looked at your clock? It's around 7.5 hours before the tip-off...
That, and I enjoy getting on JPZ's ass about game threads because he's an über nazi about them himself.
You weren't here for that, though. Funny stuff
This can be a huge game for Lin. The Laker guards and Lakers in general have a hard time guarding penetrating point guards such as Lin. (Reason why didn't advance far in the playoffs and most of thier problems this year) Rondo had a field day last night too.
Jerome Jordan can possibly get a lot of minutes too. Jefferies guarding Gasol will be tough and he'll probably get in foul trouble.
Last time we played the score was 82-99.
I think this game will be some what low scoring with the Lakers not trying to let Lin get to the Rim. Look for lots of hard fouls and either a late push from Kobe or a Knick 3pointer shooter to win the game.
Lakers come in very confident based on what they did to us last game where they dominated us throughout without Bynum in the lineup. Their pick and roll defense had been hurting them since the beginning of the season, but they have adjusted and will be looking to force Lin away from the basket.
Chandler has it tough tonight with Bynum and Gasol down low, and us with not much to back him up. I don't see coach putting in Jerome Jordan. Jeffries defense on Gasol, who has been very effective recently, will be a difference maker. Artest will be a threat to a penetrating Lin finding Walker and Novak for key bombs. Shump must be able to make Kobe uncomfortable to give us some leverage.
desde la cuna del chango
Not being a Lin hater but this is where I wanna see what he really has, a lot of hype going on and I dont wanna get my hopes on him which is why I'm letting this play out before I say anything
LA has a great frontline and Kobe, Fisher and World Peace are great defenders, if Lin can just go for 15 and 8 I'll take that
Kobe, Fisher and WorldPeace are NOT great defenders. Kobe and Meta were great defenders, Fisher was NEVER a great defender.
But i do agree that Lin has a different and difficult task ahead of him. Im looking forward to how he handles the midrange game. Once he gets by the primary defender or doesnt get picked up on the pick and roll, he wont be able to go all the way to the rim against the lakers. And if the lakers stay at home on the shooters, Lin has gotta bring that midrange Toney Parker tear drop or 12 foot pull up, else, he'll have a hard time putting up points or distributing.
Doesn't matter what the final boxscore will look like, I'm eagerly anticipating this game and supporting our guys like crazy!
I know they'll fight hard, just like they did against Utah and Washington and I know they'll give their very best.
A win against these Lakers would be nothing short of sensational and a major upset!
Either way, unconditional love for THIS particular group of Knicks.
Let's go Knicks!!!
Gotta see what Lin can do against a top notch defensive team like the lakers. It's fine to drop 25 and 9 on the likes of the wizards and nets but a totally different ball game against a championship caliber opponent. With jorts, Amar'e and melo out our front line is going to be hurting against bynum and gasol. Gotta hope for a big game from Lin and (yes) Jeffereies. Tyson needs to bring his A game here and I know he'll be looking to lead us on the glass but you can realistically only box out one person at a time. Hopefully people like Lin and Fields can pick up some of those boards and take the pressure off our big man. I think you'll see Novakane out there a fair bit if he can nail a 3 or 2 early.
If Lin can torch the lakers like he has the past three teams then i'm gonna have to go full out LINsane. The guy is sparking something special with the knicks right now and I gotta hope it continues.
For a C or PF I think the match up on defense is much more man-to-man, opposing PF/C based then an when looking at PG's games. His rebounds are mostly tied to how well he is positioning with his man. His points come from those boards and from being able to get open against that man.
In order for Lin to have big assists he needs to find the open man off of dribble drives into the lane and pick'n'roll with his man. Some teams defend the p'n'r better then others, and it's usually more dependant on the help defense then the point of attack (ala. PG's defense). In order to get points Lin needs to finish at the rim. In washington they just don't protect the rim or the lane very well. The nets have decent perimeter defense on the pg/sg but allow him to get inside and create havoc.
And as a unit these teams are not on the same level as the Lakers. Sure deron is a pretty good defender in 1 on 1 situations, but when looking at defensive ratings and opposing PG's numbers there is a reason why the lakers tend to do better against opposing PG's then the nets and it's not because fischer is a better defender then deron.
Cant wait to see Derek Fisher hanging on the wall of Lin's Conquest Gallery!!!

text: OK. So now that DJ has teeth, we would like to slowly introduce some solids. Based on all the research I've done and all I've found here, I've decided against jarred babyfood altogether and am in no hurry to introduce cereals. I would like to start with Sweet potatoes, Bannans and Avacados. MY question is do I have to "make" these things into baby food? I've seen several post here about baby food processors and "making baby food" which I'm down for if it's nessecary...But I've also seen several posts about "skipping" baby food and giving baby soft "finger foods" Do Bannans and Avacados fit into that category? DO any of the 3 foods I'm thinking of starting with need any further "processing" on my part?

Gut Punched by a Halo
I understand he's just going about his business, but I sorta feel like every time he opens his mouth or takes a swing with that halo on his head he's deliberately punching me in the gut.
"Here. Take that, mang."
Ouch, Albert. Ouch.
It's one thing to get over an ex-lover, but it's another thing to get over an ex-lover when SHE'S TOTALLY IN FRACKING LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. And when she goes around showing off her newfound bliss that DOESN'T INCLUDE YOU, it makes getting up in the morning pretty dang difficult! Not even the toughest of tough guys can get rid of the awful, looping image of his ex-girlfriend having hot-love action with some other dude. It's just… sickening.
At least I have a back-up plan.
Happy Friday!

Yeah Jeff, I know how you feel. At least he is not close to you and you don't have to see those "Hombre" billboards in Los Angeles but with the media coverage, is like having him close. I really wish that Pujols would have stayed in St Louis and have his entire career there just like Jeter in New york. I would have admire that. -Emma
Next Month? March is just around the corner. Let us know!

A Camaro "concept" will be shown at the Detroit Auto Show next month.
As long as GM and the rest of American Car manufacturers have Gays at all the top end levels of management we will see nothing but garbage come from them and they will continue to lose ground to the Japs.

Historical Wisconsin inn to host 1860s-era dinner
Cooking buffs will get a chance to prepare a 19th-century meal at a southeastern Wisconsin historical site.
Wade House, an 1860s-era stagecoach inn in Greenbush, will host the dinner on Jan. 12. Participants will chop, stir, season and roast such delicacies as squash soup, pork loin roast, mashed turnips, cranberry muffins and bread pudding in a simulation of stagecoach travelers' midday meal.
Participants will then get to sit down in the Wade House dining room and consume their culinary creations. When they're done they'll have to clear the table, wash the dishes and sweep the hearth.
Tickets cost $45 per person.
