I agree w/gamom. I think all you have here is a serious case of yesthisisallnormal! Even the being confused. Trust me, that is very normal and never goes away. I wish I could tell you it all becomes clear at such and such point, but in my experience parenting in general is confusing. Sigh.
Smart to pump to give yourself a stash for when you return to work, but don't expect to be able to pump what you will once you are pumping while back at work. Right now you have a growing baby drinking up all (or anyway most) of your milk all day and so anything *extra* you can pump is good. You know that what a mom pumps is a very poor indicator of what her actual 'supply' is, this is so important! So many moms let the pump output freak them out unnecessarily. Again, Kellymom is a great resource for pumping info & tips, and for going back to work concerns in general, as is this website, also if you have not gotten a copy of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (8th edition) I strongly suggest it, it has everything you ever wanted to know about breastfeeding in general plus two chapters dedicated only to going back to work/separation from baby and pumping.
Does baby 'need' to be burped? He may, and that is fine, but many breastfed babies don't. And some babies prefer one side 'at a time', others always nurse on both breasts every feeding, some go back and forth a few times, and most do some combination. It's all normal. Just keep nursing whenever baby or you want to, for as long as baby and you want to, on whatever side or combination of sides you and baby want to. I don't think you need to worry about when baby is actively swallowing and when baby is "comfort" nursing, that kind of differentiation is only needed when a (usually much younger) baby is not gaining weight. Also don't worry about how long it has been since baby last nursed, its fine to nurse more frequently than every 2.5 hours if baby wants (babies usually tend to want to cluster nurse-nurse very frequently part of the time and then take a longer stretch between nursing here and there. This also can make what are actually two or more nursing sessions seem to blend into one very long one.) At La Leche League, we try to ask how many times per day baby is nursing, (normal would be about 10 times OR MORE (sometimes much more) per 24 hours.) When people say baby is nursing every 2 or 3 or whatever hours, I wonder if someone told them to feed baby every 2, 3 or whatever hours. Babies are not born with wristwatches on, and usually (there are exceptions) babies do not nurse in any kind of regular every such and such hours pattern. Slowly, slowly, overtime, babies get more efficient at nursing & tummy grows and holds more and nursing sessions tend to get shorter overall and less frequent, and even more regular. But it is not a steady one way street, because due to growth spurts, developmental progression, illness, upsets, and for mysterious reasons only babies know, baby will increase time at the breast here and here. And nursing babies & children of all ages still at times want to 'comfort' nurse, nurse for a long time, fall asleep at the breast, and/or keep nursing while asleep. It's all normal and good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Primo More pumpkin-y than expected! In a good way I have a culinary background, so I very rarely "cheat" and use prepared mixes like this, but these muffins taste like they are from scratch! Not too sweet, beautifully spiced, and very pumpkin-y. The directions were very clear, but they do involve some care in making the 3 different mixes. (batter, cheesecake, and streussel) I am actually making another batch tonight because they went so fast. There were none left for my own family! September 17, 2012

The title should have been: "Wall Street trumps the Hippocratic Oath and NY patients' privacy" or "NY gives technology start-ups free access to millions of New Yorkers sensitive health data without informed consent starting in February".
Of course we need apps to lower health costs, coordinate care, and help people get well, but apps should be developed using 'synthetic' data, not real patient data. Giving away valuable identifiable patient data to app developers is very risky and violates patients legal and ethical rights to health information privacy under state and federal law—each of us has strong rights to decide who can see and use personal health information.
What happens when app developers use, disclose or sell Mayor Bloomberg's, Governor Cuomo's, Sec of State Hillary Clinton's, or Peter Thiel's electronic health records? Or will access to prominent people's health records be blocked by the data exchange, while everyone's else's future jobs and credit are put at risk by developer access to health data? Will Bloomberg publish a story about the consequences of this decision by whoever runs the NY health data exchange? Will Bloomberg write about the value, sale, and massive technology-enabled exploitation of health data for discrimination and targeted marketing of drugs, treatments, or for extortion of political or business enemies? Natasha Singer of the NYTimes calls this the 'surveillance economy'.
The story did not mention ways to develop apps that protect patients' sensitive information from disclosure to people not directly involved in patient care. The story could have said that the military uses "synthetic" patient data for technology research and app development. They realize that NOT protecting the security and privacy of sensitive data of members of the military and their families creates major national security risks. The military builds and tests technology and apps on synthetic data; researchers or app developers don't get access to real, live patient data without tough security clearances and high-level review of those who are granted permission to access data for approved projects that benefit patients. Open access to military health data bases threatens national security. Will open access to New Yorkers' health data also threaten national security?
NY just started a national and international gold rush to develop blockbuster health apps AND will set off a rush by other states to give away or sell identifiable patient health information in health information exchanges (HIEs) or health information organizations (HIOs)—-by allowing technology developers access to an incredibly large, valuable data base of identifiable patient health information. Do the developers get the data free—or is NY selling health data? The bipartisan Coalition for Patient Privacy (represents 10.3M people) worked to get a ban on the sale of patient health data into the stimulus bill because the hidden sale of health data is a major industry that enables hidden discrimination in key life opportunities like jobs and credit. Selling patient data for all sorts of uses is a very lucrative industry.
Further, NY patients are being grossly misled: they think they gave consent ONLY for their health data to be exchanged so other health professionals can treat them. Are they informed that dozens of app developers will be able to copy all their personal health data to build technology products they may not want or be interested in starting in February?
Worst of all the consequences of systems that eliminate privacy is: patients to act in ways that risk their health and lives when they know their health information is not private:
- -600K/year avoid early treatment and diagnosis for cancer because they know their records will not be private
- -2M/year avoid early treatment and diagnosis for depression for the same reasons
- -millions/year avoid early treatment and diagnosis of STDs, for the same reason
- -1/8 hide data, omit or lie to try to keep sensitive information private
More questions:
- -What proof is there that the app developers comply with the contracts they sign?
- -Are they audited to prove the identifiable patient data is truly secure and not sold or disclosed to third parties?
- -What happens when an app developer suffers a privacy breach—most health data today is not secure or encrypted? If the app developers signed Business Associate Agreements at least they would have to report the data breaches.
- -What happens when many of the app developers can't sell their products or the businesses go bust? They will sell the patient data they used to develop the apps for cash.
- -The developers reportedly signed data use agreements "covering federal privacy rules", which probably means they are required to comply with HIPAA. But HIPAA allows data holders to disclose and sell patient data to third parties, promoting further hidden uses of personal data that patients will never know about, much less be able to agree to. Using contracts that do not require external auditing to protect sensitive information and not requiring proof that the developers can be trusted is a bad business practice.
NY has opened Pandora's box and not even involved the public in an informed debate.

Judge upholds PA voter ID law
August 15, 2012 —
PENNSYLVANIA – A Pennsylvania judge rejected a challenge to the state's controversial new voter ID law today. Lawyers for the groups bringing the suit, the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP), the Advancement Project, the ACLU of Pennsylvania, and the Washington, DC, law firm of Arnold & Porter, had argued that the law puts up unconstitutional barriers to the fundamental right to vote and threatens to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of people without valid ID. The groups plan to appeal the judge's decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
In a lengthy opinion Judge Robert Simpson wrote, "Petitioners established that to the extent Act 18 will operate to prevent the casting or counting of in-person votes of qualified electors in the general election, those electors would suffer irreparable harm irreparable harm that cannot be adequately compensated by money damages.
"Petitioners did not establish, however, that the disenfranchisement was immediate or inevitable. On the contrary, the more credible evidence on this issue was that offered through Commonwealth witnesses. I was convinced that efforts by the Department of State, the Department of Health, PennDot and other commonwealth agencies and interested groups will fully educate the public and DOS, PennDOT and the secretaries of those agencies will comply with the mandates of Section of the Election Code. Further, I was convinced that Act 18 will be implemented by Commonwealth agencies in a non-partisan, even-handed manner."
Jennifer Clarke, executive director, Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia, said in a conference call with reporters, "The key to this opinion was the standard that was applied to a law the burdens a right to vote. We argued that the court should apply a strict scrutiny standard, which is a standard that requires the state to show a a compelling state interest that is narrowly addressed by the law. We argued that the right to vote is fundamental. The opinion did not use that standard, instead it applied a much more lenient standard that gives the legislature lots of deference."

League of Women Voters Lawsuit unsuccessful in halting voter ID law
Today, in spite of strong testimony and the failure of state officials to provide any evidence of voter fraud by impersonation, the lawsuit brought by American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania in which the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania was the lead organizational plaintiff, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania upheld the state's photo identification law passed earlier this year. The League of Women Voters is appalled by this decision. This is the first time in recent months that voting rights groups have been unsuccessful in blocking implementation of these voter suppression laws. The states that have halted voter ID laws include Texas, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
"We are disappointed that the Pennsylvania court has upheld this voter suppression law. Recently, when similar laws in other states have been reviewed by a court or the U.S. Department of Justice they have been deemed to be discriminatory, and we believe this to be the case in Pennsylvania," said Elisabeth MacNamara, President of the League of Women Voters of the United States.
"We are dismayed with the decision of the court. The League is discouraged but undaunted. It's a sad day for citizens when political rhetoric wins over democracy. We will continue to work to educate voters about voter identification requirements and help people get a photo ID while we await the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision. All who read the testimony or were present in the courtroom were moved by the compelling stories of witnesses who shared the impact of this law on our most precious right to vote. As many as 1.2 million eligible voters could be disenfranchised in November's election if the Supreme Court allows Judge Simpson's ruling to stand. The erosion of one person's right to vote impacts each of us" said Olivia Thorne, President of the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania.
"Time and time again these laws have been found to be illegal. It is time to realize that these voter suppression laws cannot and should not be enacted in any state; they are legally and morally unjustifiable. It is time for us to move beyond the rhetoric and work to pass new laws that will ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote can vote and will have their vote counted without any undue barriers. Nothing less than our democracy is at stake," concluded MacNamara.
It is expected that today's decision will be appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Judge Rejects Challenge to PA's Voter ID Law
Tele-Press Conference with Plaintiffs' Lawyers Scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Today
August 15, 2012
PENNSYVLANIA – A Pennsylvania judge rejected a challenge to the state's controversial new voter ID law today. Lawyers for the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP), the Advancement Project, the ACLU of Pennsylvania, and the Washington, DC, law firm of Arnold & Porter, had argued that the law puts up unconstitutional barriers to the fundamental right to vote and threatens to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of people without valid ID. The groups plan to appeal the judge's decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. There will be a tele-press conference with the lawyers representing the plaintiffs today at 1 p.m. to explain the decision (call-in information below).
"I just can't believe it," said Viviette Applewhite, the 93-year-old lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. "Too many people have fought for the right to vote to have it taken away like this. All I want is to be able to vote this November like I always have. This law is just ridiculous."
During the recent seven-day trial, lawyers for the petitioners established that in person voter fraud is exceedingly rare, hundreds of thousands of voters are at risk of being disenfranchised if the law stays in place, and the commonwealth is woefully unprepared to ensure that every voter who needs ID will get one before Election Day. The new Department of State "for voting only" ID is not yet available and not every voter will qualify for one. Prior to the trial, the commonwealth stipulated that it knows of no in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania. Supporters of the law claimed that the law was necessary to stop voter fraud.
A copy of the decision can be found here: http://www.aclupa.org/downloads/DenialofPI.pdf
The following statement can be attributed to Jennifer Clarke, executive director, Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP):
"The determined men and women who came to court to describe their love of this country because we can all participate through the ballot box, will simply have to wait for another day and another court to vindicate this most cherished of all rights."
The following statement can be attributed to David Gersch, Arnold & Porter:
'We are disappointed but will seek to appeal. At trial, we demonstrated that there are about a million registered voters who lack the ID necessary to vote under Pennsylvania's photo ID law. If the court's decision stands, a lot of those people will not be able to vote in November."
The following statement can be attributed to Penda Hair, co-director, Advancement Project:
"This is a huge setback for the right to vote. It's contrary to core American values and sadly takes us back to a dark place in our country's history. We hope the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will see through this and affirm that all Pennsylvania voters have a right to be heard at the ballot box."
The following statement can be attributed to Witold "Vic" Walczak, legal director, ACLU of Pennsylvania:
"Given clear evidence that impersonation fraud is not a problem, we had hoped that the court would show greater concern for the hundreds of thousands of voters who will be disenfranchised by this law."
There will be a tele-press conference TODAY at 1 p.m. to explain today's decision and answer questions.
What: Voter ID tele-press conference with plaintiffs' lawyers

Grand Theft Auto is one of the more ill-chosen monikers in video games; sure the game features stealing cars, but that's not what the game is about. In fact there are many things people may argue GTA is about. Car chases, cop-killing, hood-ornament prostitutes, shootouts; the list goes on ad nauseam. Politicians and social activists love to focus on all of these aspects, but what makes every GTA game a true GTA game is one thing – the city. Accordingly, the upcoming release of GTA V has many gamers wondering not "who may be in it?" or "is the story good?" but rather, "where will it be set?"
It was clear from the first game, which I played on the Gameboy Color, that Rockstar intended its city to play a prominent role in the game. The game is basically one big map and with the top-down perspective, gamers were forced to memorize the city in order to evade the law and massacre civilians in an efficient manner. The other three installments released before GTA III were all top-down and knowledge of the city remained an integral part of the game, although there wasn't much character.
With the release of GTA III, Rockstar solidified the importance of the city; even going so far as to include a massive fold-out paper map with the game manual. In those first few weeks I played the game, I probably spent more time looking at the map screen, taking in the different streets and alleys, than I did killing sex workers. Without a clear understanding of the best escape routes and hiding spots, embarking on killing sprees and winning car races was much harder.
This pattern continued in all future installments and even GTA IV, released in 2008 – well after the death of the instruction manual, came with a full sized fold-out map. Rockstar loves their cities, and clearly spend more time on them than any other aspect of the game. Held to the same standards of BioShock and the Resident Evil series, GTA's story is piss-poor. The dialogue is often cheesy and the characters are one-dimensional. A revenge-driven sociopath killing his way to some final confrontation is not good story writing. The cover-based combat, while impressive, often turned into a House of the Dead-style shooting gallery. Further, I doubt anyone bought GTA IV because you could drive drunk, fly through the windshield, or curbstomp homeless people. The greatness all lies in the city.
So when people talk about the upcoming GTA V, they don't care about how many sex acts a prostitute can perform or what kind of cars your character can drive. They just want to know where the game will take place.
The iconic caricature of New York City; Liberty City is a possibility for GTA V, but a bit of a long shot. Indeed, Rockstar has already built the city and explored it in three separate installments, so it would be an excellent venue to further flesh out GTA IV. However, considering the fact that Rockstar has deliberately avoided any elements of a traditional sequel in the majority of their games, another game in Liberty City probably isn't something we'll be seeing for a while.
The company famous for going out of their way to keep things fresh won't want their bread and butter city growing stale. So I'm going to count out GTA V taking place in the "worst place in America."
If Rockstar is anywhere near as pattern-obsessive as I am, GTA V will undoubtedly take place in Vice City. GTA: Vice City was released on the heels of GTA III and its change of scenery from the drab grayness of Liberty City to the vibrant Miami-rip off was a refreshing shock. Our most recent visit to the old west in Red Dead Redemption taught us that Rockstar is more than comfortable exploring the color yellow, and in Vice City we'll get more than our fill of it.
- REVIEW: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
With Rockstar North just having finished Red Dead Redemption and its subsequent expansions, and with a little-known Agent on its way, creating a state-sized game like San Andreas may not be a possibility. The last time we visited Vice City it was roughly the size of GTA III's Liberty City. Knowing this, it stands to reason that a next-gen game would follow the same pattern.
To be perfectly honest, I wish that Rockstar would do nothing henceforth but make games set in San Andreas. I beat GTA: San Andreas over half a dozen times on the PS2 solely due to an undying love for the setting. I ran on treadmills, spray painted walls, and did countless mindless tasks just to experience the pure joy of flying a jet pack around the Las Vegas strip. Or engaging the Air Force in an air battle over Area 51. Or parachuting onto the Hoover Dam.
Yes, San Andreas held endless possibilities due to its sheer size. It was over 13 square miles; over four times as large as either Vice City or Liberty City. It featured three huge cities along with a dozen smaller towns and settlements. There were forests, mountains, rivers, and oceans; all completely open to exploration. After riding a horse from a snowy bear-infested mountain to a desolate Mexican desert in Red Dead Redemption, I don't know that I can go back to being confined to one city in a Rockstar game. Sure there were three islands in GTA IV, but it was all just more of the same – tall buildings, warehouses, and taxicabs.
- REVIEW: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Regardless, I'm not getting my hopes up. As I mentioned previously, expecting a game this large when Rockstar has so much on its plate is a bit much. Further, San Andreas may be intended to be what it was for the PS2 and Xbox; a swan song for a dying console. Considering Microsoft and Sony's announcements of intended next-gen consoles in 2014 or 2015, the timeline seems just about right.
A Fresh Location
This is a fun one to consider. Rockstar North has a few other cities in the GTA universe that have yet to appear in a GTA game. One such town is Carcer City from the infamous Manhunt. This city is mentioned jokingly on the radio and inserted elsewhere in different GTA games. A trip to a past Carcer City, before it became a crime-consumed cesspool, would offer Rockstar a fresh ball of clay to work with. Bullworth, from 2006's Bully is unlikely due to its suburban setting, but a game encompassing all of New England could be a unique turn for Rockstar. Think about a game that looks like a Casey Affleck film; crime flooding the streets of Boston. The final possibility is a completely new venue. After exploring Mexico and the old west, Rockstar North may have developed an appetite for creating new and adventurous territory, and this can't be counted out.
GTA IV, initially deemed an unmitigated success, eventually became a polarizing topic among gamers. Was the game really that good or was it just the hype? Certainly the sheer amount of stuff available to do lead many reviewers to declare the game a smash hit, but most of this was only surface content. What makes Grand Theft Auto a GTA is the brilliantly rendered, entirely open cityscapes. So whether we end up dirt biking through a desert in San Andreas or stealing a yacht in Vice City, rest assured that Rockstar will make it, well…rock.

5 Tips for Your Winter Visit to Yellowstone
Yellowstone truly transforms into a Winter Wonderland this time of year. You can visit the northern part of the Park by car, or take a snowcoach to see Old Faithful and the interior of the Park. If you're planning a visit to Yellowstone this winter – even just for a day – here are a few tips.
If you want to visit the Old Faithful area during its most serene season, or see other favorite parts of the park blanketed in snow, reserve a snowcoach ride from the North, South, or West entrances. If you'd prefer to tour by car, start your trip from the North Entrance in Gardiner, MT near Mammoth Hot Springs; the Northeast Entrance road between Mammoth and Cooke City is plowed all winter for wheeled vehicles.
Refer to the Visiting Yellowstone in Winter page on NPS's website when planning and for your transportation. Once you decide how you will get here, then you can plan what type of fun you'll have!
1) See Wildlife in the Lamar Valley. If you're visiting by car, set out on the Northeast Entrance road into the spectacular Lamar Valley. Bison, foxes, and many creatures are easy to spot against the snowy white backdrop. Dawn and dusk are best times to see Yellowstone's famous wolf packs. Services are limited in this part of the park so be sure to pack snacks and supplies, along with your camera and binoculars or spotting scope.
2) Explore a Winter Trail. Pick up a trail map at a visitor center and set off on your own adventure on skis or snowshoes. One popular trail is the mostly-level Lone Star Geyser trail (9 miles round trip) that begins at Old Faithful Snow Lodge. Or take a guided snowshoe walk with a ranger, departing Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 2pm from Mammoth. Gear rentals are available at Mammoth and Old Faithful. Daily weather reports and Nordic Ski Reports are posted online. If you prefer boots to skis or snowshoes, boardwalks are a great way to get out into Yellowstone's winter landscape. Check out numerous, steaming hydrothermal features from the boardwalk at Mammoth Terraces, or the Geyser Hill Loop Trail -- an easy, 1.3-mile boardwalk trail near Old Faithful Geyser.
3) Book a Tour or Class. Xanterra Parks & Resorts offers snowcoach, bus, ski, and snowshoe tours. For stargazers, an evening snowcoach tour departs nightly from Old Faithful. They even have shuttles to drop you off at the beginning of a one-way ski or snowshoe trail back to your car. Or make advance reservations to take a class with the Yellowstone Association, which offers multi-day field seminars. They still have a few spaces left for winter courses, but reserve soon!
4) Enjoy a Ranger-Led Evening Program. Winter evening programs led by Yellowstone rangers run through March 1st at the Mammoth Hotel and Old Faithful Visitor Education Center. These free programs are 45-60 min and highlight various topics of interest for the whole family. View schedule>>
5) Stop by a Visitor Center. Start off your Yellowstone winter adventure by dropping in one of the visitor centers that is open in winter (see locations and schedule here). You'll be able to get trail maps, geyser predictions, and road and weather reports. If you are traveling with children ages 5-12, pick up a Jr. Ranger activity paper and complete fun winter activities toward earning a Jr. Ranger badge. Be sure to check out the interactive exhibits at the new Old Faithful Visitor Education Center, open 9-5 daily through March 15.

A couple who engaged in oral sex on a flight from Medford, Ore., to Las Vegas pleaded guilty Wednesday to disorderly conduct and each was fined $250.
The Mail Tribune reports Christopher Martin of Las Vegas and Jessica Stroble of Medford were not required to attend the hearing in federal court in Las Vegas and the pleas from their lawyers were accepted by Magistrate Judge George Foley.
The pair were initially charged with lewd, indecent and obscene acts on an airplane for their behavior on the June 21 Allegiant Air flight.
An FBI affidavit says passengers saw Martin exposing himself and engaging in acts with Stroble despite warnings from flight attendants.
In a statement to the Medford paper, Martin apologized to those he hurt and offended.

"The Bachelorette" Season Finale - Part 2 Recap
Last night, "The Bachelorette" finale took so many twists and turns, I don't even know where to begin. I am still surprised by the outcome and who Des ended up with. That's right folks; she did end up with someone. And after sitting at the edge of our seats last night for three hours, the bachelorette beauty ended up with the nice, consistent guy (drum roll please), CHRIS! I've liked him all along and I do hope they can last but I do have some concerns with this newly engaged couple!
I was surprised that Des decided to keep going after Brooks left.
From the last episode, it seemed like she had really fallen for him and that she knew he was the one (she was such a wreck and still was last night even when his name was brought up, YIKES). If I were here in her shoes, it would be hard to keep going. I don't think Drew and Chris knew how strong her feelings were for Brooks, they both seemed confident in their relationship with her so I think that's what kept each of them going.
Des had one on one time with Drew first. You could tell right off the bat that this date was just awkward and was going downhill fast. I think Des did the right thing by cutting the date early, especially after what happened with Brooks she really needed to get in touch with her feelings. I did feel bad for Drew. He admitted how much he cared about Des and then Des definitely blindsided him by saying that something was missing. I don't think he saw that coming until she said "I need to talk to you" (everyone hates those words, we've all heard that before). I felt that Drew handled the situation with such class but I also think it didn't sink in right away. Drew is a great guy but Des and him just didn't have that spark. I do hope that Drew finds what he is looking for because he is so deserving of that.
I was nervous for Des's date with Chris because of how things ended with both Brooks and Drew. But Chris is such a goofball and really is a good fit for Des. They look so good together and I love the interaction between the two. Things are easy and more importantly CONSISTENT with them. He thinks the world of her and I think she finally started to see how much he actually cared about her. Des also started to really feel how much potential the two of them have as a couple. I think Chris handled Des's family really well and even Des's brother gave his approval (PS I adore Des's dad! What an awesome father!). I know that Chris is in this for the long run and I think everyone saw that in him. It just took Des a little longer to see it!
Chris's proposal was so sweet and special. He always knows what to say and he is so good at expressing his feelings. I am so glad that Des told him about Brooks and her exact feelings for him. She explained herself and the situation well and I knew that Chris would understand. I think a lot of times we do look past what is right in front of us and we don't realize what we have until it's gone. Lucky for Des, Chris was willing to stick around. He was always there for her and he never lost sight of what they had.
The After the Rose was intense. I still think that Des has some feelings for Brooks and that does make me a little worried. But I think she is right, she had to go through that heart break to see what she had with Chris. You could see that Drew was obviously still a little hurt but it was good to see him so positive and I liked that he admitted he wasn't still in love with Des. He is moving on and should be.
Des and Chris are so good together and I hope that they can last. They seem happy and in love and there is such strong emotional connection between the two of them. They really have a special bond and I don't think Des could have asked for a more perfect ending! I know we are looking forward to the future between the two of them. They said they want to get married next summer, so we are holding them to it! What do you guys think? Do you think Des and Chris will last?
The new bachelor was announced last night as well! Twenty-five new ladies will be competing to be Juan Pablo's new wife! Will you guys be tuning in? I know I will! I think that this is a great choice and I can't wait for Juan Pablo's journey to finding love!
Make sure to tune in for the brand new season of THE BACHELOR in January!

Did Facebook and PNAS violate human research protections in an unethical experiment?
Ed. Note: NOTE ADDENDUM
I daresay that I'm like a lot of you in that I spend a fair bit of time on Facebook. This blog has a Facebook page (which, by the way, you should head on over and Like immediately). I have a Facebook page, several of our bloggers, such as Harriet Hall, Steve Novella, Mark Crislip, Scott Gavura, Paul Ingraham, Jann Bellamy, Kimball Atwood, John Snyder, and Clay Jones, have Facebook pages. It's a ubiquitous part of life, and arguably part of the reason for our large increase in traffic over the last year. There are many great things about Facebook, although there are a fair number of issues as well, mostly having to do with privacy and a tendency to use automated scripts that can be easily abused by cranks like antivaccine activists to silence skeptics refuting their pseudoscience. Also, of course, every Facebook user has to realize that Facebook makes most of its money through targeted advertising directed at its users; so the more its users reveal the better it is for Facebook, which can more precisely target advertising.
Whatever good and bad things about Facebook there are, however, there's one thing that I never expected the company to be engaging in, and that's unethical human subjects research, but if stories and blog posts appearing over the weekend are to be believed, that's exactly what it did, and, worse, it's not very good research. The study, entitled "Experimental evidence of massive-scale emotional contagion through social networks", was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), and its corresponding (and first) author is Adam D. I. Kramer, who is listed as being part of the Core Data Science Team at Facebook. Co-authors include Jamie E. Guillory at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, University of California, San Francisco and Jeffrey T. Hancock from the Departments of Communication and Information Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. (more…)

It's my all time fav and my clients love it too. Great smell and great glide,
Everything is wonderful about this from the scent to the way it makes my clients feel!
I first got this product in a kit when I was just a student and I've been using it ever since. It has wonderful glide and doesn't get sticky or feel greasy. The smell of the pine is wonderful and all my clients love it.
I use this product all the time and my clients love it. Provides great glide and friction at the same time. Light scent is great and clients like it.
BV Muscle Therapy Creme. I've been using this product for about 2 years and love it. Only problem was I ordered a size (64oz?) that didn't come w/pump. Getting the last bits out are somewhat time consuming...but what isn't? :)

Who's On First?…
"I consider this position I am playing in as a bench role"…
These were the words of Yankees GM Brian Cashman on January 6th regarding the current Yankees outfield. Cashman is apparently looking for a right-handed bat to complement Brett Gardner in left. Let's see if these words still hold true on, say, February 23rd. I guess we'll check back at that time to see if Cashman held true to his words.
An intriguing option in a platoon situation is free agent outfielder Rocco Baldelli. Rocco has had medical issues the past few years and suffers from channelopathy, but in a limited role, he might be a viable option. He appeared in only 62 games last season for the Boston Red Sox, batting .253 with 7 home runs and 23 RBI's. I don't know what the future holds for Rocco, but if he can overcome his medical condition, he might thrive in a part-time position. I am sure the price tag would be enticing to a GM looking to keep the payroll under $200 million…
Jim Rogash/Getty Images
I am warming up to the idea of Reed Johnson as a possibility for a potential platoon, but as each passing day goes by and Johnny Damon remains a free agent, I am hopeful that his price tag falls far enough that he fits into Cashman's budget. If the Yankees could get Damon to come back for one year, it would be an ideal situation and Johnny could test the free agent waters next fall.
It's tough when you pull up a New York paper, and the leading Yankees story is the signing of pitcher Sergio Mitre to a one-year, $850,000 deal. Okay, I accept that the possibility that Mitre will be significantly improved since he'll be further from his elbow ligament replacement surgery (July 2008). But to spotlight him in the New York tabloids is a bit much. I do not see Mitre as more than a bit player in 2010. Maybe he'll prove to be the second coming of Aaron Small but who knows…
Sipkin/New York Daily News
Peter Abraham says that Chien-Ming Wang is ready to move on from the Yankees. I am still a bit perplexed why the Yankees didn't try to give Wang one more chance. Maybe there's a possibility that he could still return, but I would hate to see him experience a rebirth in Boston (not that they need another starter with that rotation). Actually, if it were me, I'd go to Seattle. The Mariners are definitely poised to make a run in what should be Ken Griffey, Jr.'s final year. The Mariners have made some great acquisitions this off-season. Sure, they lost Adrian Beltre, but they've acquired Cliff Lee, Casey Kotchman, and Chone Figgins. But like with Damon, I do hope that Wang finds his way back to the Bronx.
Andrew Mills/The Star-Ledger
I was sorry to see David Cone leave the YES Network. There was always something very re-assuring about Coney as a player and as a broadcaster. I can't say that I was pleased when he decided to go to Boston to pitch, but he is a class guy. Whatever the future holds for Coney, I hope that it's what he wants to do.
Congratulations to pitcher Joba Chamberlain for being a winner of the Thurman Munson Award (which acknowledges excellence in competition and philanthropic work in the community). The award will be given on February 2nd. This is definitely a preferable off-season event over a DUI. I am glad to see Joba's growth and maturity in a very positive direction.

My weekend football predictions:
Cincinnati Bengals 21, New York Jets 17
New England Patriots 31, Baltimore Ravens 20 (Okay, this is for my friend Julia!)
Arizona Cardinals 27, Green Bay Packers 17
Dallas Cowboys 33, Philadelphia Eagles 31
The only problem with my predictions is that it would bring the Dallas Cowboys to Minnesota to face the Vikings. This, of course, is the match-up that has haunted me for many years. On December 28, 1975, I was watching the Cowboys and Vikings in the NFC Divisional Play-offs. It appeared that the Vikings had the game in hand until Roger Staubach threw the unbelievable Hail Mary pass caught by Drew Pearson as Nate Wright fell to the ground. I remember exactly where I was, where I was standing, and my reaction. Fortunately, I've had the Yankees all these years to give me some "relief" from the disappointment…
When can we start talking about baseball?…
Let's Go Yankees! 🙂

Thank you Scott! Your friend approves of your pick!🙂 And hey! Sergio Mitre on the front page of the NY papers? Sweet! And I agree with you – isn't it time to talk baseball yet? Did you know that as of this moment it is only 86 days, 13 hours 42 minutes and 54 seconds until the Red Sox start their first game? Which of course means they will also get their first win!😉
You're warming to the idea of Reed Johnson? LOL. I guess we have no choice, right? Or so it looks at the moment. I, too, am sorry to see Coney go. He was a bright spot in the YES booth and I'll miss him. I don't know what to say about Wang except that the Yankees seem to have lost faith in him. A shame.
Scott: I absolutely ADORE Sergio Mitre….to me his is hotter than A-Rod! Anyway…..I want Damon too, but I think it will hurt his ego if he signed for less. What about Xavier Nady? I hope to see him back next year.
Doesnt really seem like the Yankees will resign Damon they only have 2 million to spend.

This week, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) Brooke Darby welcomed India's Deputy Inspector General Seema Dhundia to the Department of State for a series of meetings. Deputy Inspector General Dhundia is the commander of the first all-female formed police unit (FPU) to a UN mission. She is currently in charge of five battalions within the Central Reserve Police Force's Rapid Action Force and also oversees the training, equipping, and other pre-deployment support for units deploying to UN missions. India deployed the all-female FPU to the UN Mission in Liberia in 2007 and continues to send the all-female units to patrol the streets, provide crowd control, and back up the local Liberia National Police.
Ms. Dhundia was invited to the United States to participate in the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) 2011 Conference in Lexington, Kentucky. During the IAWP Conference in Lexington, Ms. Dhundia spoke on a panel entitled, "Enhancing the Participation of Women in International Law Enforcement Missions," with INL personnel, including Acting Director Michele Greenstein.
Following the conference, Ms. Dhundia traveled to Washington, where she spoke at a State Department roundtable jointly hosted by INL and the Office of Global Women's Issues. Ms. Dhundia shared with us her varied experiences, including how she dealt with the challenges encountered in recruiting and retaining female international police officers.
Increasing the participation of women in international peacekeeping missions has long been an important goal of the United States. The United States is nearing completion of a National Action Plan that helps realize the principles outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 1325. UNSCR 1325 urges nations to increase the participation of women in all UN peacekeeping and security efforts. INL is supporting that effort by vigorously conducting outreach and recruitment efforts to increase the participation of women in our missions. INL is also reaching out to state, local, and municipal police departments to recruit and deploy top-notch officers, including female officers, overseas.
The INL Bureau continues to encourage partner countriesto whom we provided training and support to increase the participation of female officers in training efforts, in their police forces, and in other security programs. You can learn more about these efforts on the INL Bureau's webpage.

25 U.S. Code § 1773 - Congressional findings and purpose
§ 1773.
Congressional findings and purpose
(a) FindingsThe Congress finds and declares that:
It is the policy of the United States to promote tribal self-determination and economic self-sufficiency and to support the resolution of disputes over historical claims through settlements mutually agreed to by Indian and non-Indian parties.
(2) Disputes over certain land claims of the Puyallup Tribe and other matters, including—
ownership of the Commencement Bay tidelands and areas of former Puyallup Riverbed, lands within the Puyallup Tribe's Treaty Reservation, or intended reservation boundaries,
jurisdiction over law enforcement, environment, navigation, and authority and control in the areas of land use,
have resulted in difficult community relations and negative economic impacts affecting both the Tribe and non-Indian parties.
(3) Some of the significant historical events that led to the present circumstances include—
the negotiation of the Treaty of Medicine Creek in December 1854, by the Puyallup Indians and others, by which the tribes ceded most of their territories but reserved certain lands and rights, including fishing rights;
the Executive Order of 1873, clarifying and extending the Puyallup Reservation in the Washington Territory;
the March 11, 1891, Report of the Puyallup Indian Commission on allotments and the 1896 report by a second Puyallup Indian Commission describing the problems with sales of allotted lands; and
It is recognized that both Indian and non-Indian parties enter into this settlement to resolve certain problems and claims and to derive certain benefits.
There is a recognition that any final resolution of pending disputes through a process of litigation would take many years and entail great expense to all parties; continue economically and socially damaging controversies; prolong uncertainty as to the access, ownership, and jurisdictional status of issues in question; and seriously impair long-term economic planning and development for all parties.
To advance the goals of Federal policy of Indian self-determination and to carry out the trust responsibility of the United States, and to advance the Federal policy of international trade and economic development, and in recognition of the Federal policy of settling these conflicts through comprehensive settlement agreements, it is appropriate that the United States participate in the funding and implementation of the Settlement Agreement.
(b) PurposeTherefore, it is the purpose of this subchapter—
to approve, ratify, and confirm the agreement entered into by the non-Indian settlement parties and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians,
(Pub. L. 101–41, § 2, June 21, 1989, 103 Stat. 83.)
Short Title
Pub. L. 101–41, § 1, June 21, 1989, 103 Stat. 83, provided that:
"This Act [enacting this subchapter] may be cited as the 'Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989'."

Despite recent reports and video of a dock, which some local fisherman say is floating near the Hawaiian islands, the Coast Guard did not find that dock during a fly-over on Friday near the last reported sighting, 15 miles North of Molokai.
Still, scientists say the blue bin that came from the tsunami region, proves what they've have been predicting from day one.
"So far, it's consistent with our expectations. The timing was perfect," said UH Researcher Nikolai Maximenko, who has been following patterns, tweaking models and updating predictions since the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan 18 months ago.
Luckily for scientists, a blue bin from a Fukushima company floated near the Makai Research Pier in Waimanalo on Tuesday. US federal and Japanese agencies confirmed Friday it is the first official debris to reach the islands.
"I'm interested to see if more things start showing up," said Michael Nedbal, who is with Makai Research Engineering.
The state is trying to confirm reports from some Maui fisherman, who said Tuesday they first spotted a large dock with Japanese writing on it floating 30 miles north of Maui, then 25 miles north of Molokai on Tuesday, and then reportedly 15 miles north of Molokai on Thursday.
A dock that washed up on shore at Agate Beach in Oregon in June is stunning proof of the tsunami debris that could be headed toward Hawaii, but unlike that dock and the Waimanalo blue bin, state and federal officials said Friday, no one else has seen the reported Hawaii-bound dock, nor confirmed it could be from Japan.
"I can easily imagine how it could be from tsunami debris, and how it could be some different story," said Maximenko.
He told KITV4 that all summer, they've been sending out scientists and volunteers who have found numerous items near the Hawaiian islands, that he suspects could be tsunami debris too.
"We need to keep our eyes open and keep (a) timeline and (an) estimate of debris on our shores, and just keeping these records combined with our model can help us know when (the) peak is coming and when it's over," he said.

Hello Sir/Ma'am, I am suffering from serious pain which starts from lower left back goes to under left knee, due to which I am unable to walk and stand. Only when I lie I get relief. So please suggest me some treatment. Thanks.
Sir I have pain in my both ankles back side, when I walk I feel pain pls tell me the cause and remedy.
I have pain in my hand for two days. I have used medicine but it doesn't give me much relief. Please tell me any suggestions to control pain.
Cortisone shots are injections that help relieve pain and inflammation. They are injected directly into the joints such as the ankle, wrist, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow or spine. These injections are a combination of corticosteroids and local anaesthetics. These corticosteroids are similar to the hormones produced by the adrenal gland. Cortisone injections are often used to treat arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, shoulder bursitis and plantar fasciitis. Though they do not cure the disease but they provide temporary relief.
These injections may be slightly painful but provide relief in a day or two that lasts for a few weeks or months at a stretch. Hence, cortisone shots provide relief faster and have longer lasting results than other forms of anti-inflammatory medication. Another benefit of cortisone injections as compared to other drugs that need to be taken in through the mouth is that it avoids side effects of anti-inflammatory medication such as an upset stomach etc. Cortisone injections can also be used to treat backaches and pain that radiates from the spine to an arm or leg.
However, cortisone injections are associated with a number of risks. These include:
- Infection in the joints
- Nerve damage
- Thinning of tissue and skin around the injection site
- Pain and inflammation in the joint
- Weakening or rupturing of tendons
- Osteoporosis or thinning of bones
- Lightening of skin around the injection site
- Osteonecrosis or death of bones in the injected area
- Blood sugar spikes – this is seen mostly in diabetic patients
- Weakening of the immune system if the person has an underlying infection
In most cases, these side effects are short-lived. Higher dosages and frequent administration can increase the body's exposure to the corticosteroid. This increases the risk of long-term side effects such as:
- Acne
- Easy bruising
- Weight gain
- Cataract formation
- Puffiness of the face
- High blood pressure
Cortisone may also be held responsible for the deterioration of cartilage inside a joint. For this reason, doctors do not advise cortisone injections to be had more than 3-4 times a year. The minimum interval between two cortisone injections must be 6 weeks. Doctors also typically limit the number of injections given in one joint.
When used judiciously, cortisone injections can greatly improve the quality of a patient's life. Hence it is very important to get treated only by a qualified doctor and to completely understand the pros and cons of using this form of treatment.
An orthopaedic fracture is a serious issue that will require lots of care for the bones to heal and re-join. A broken bone is usually plastered so that the tissue may grow back together by fusing eventually, over a period of weeks. When these bones begin to rebuild in an effort to come together, the new bones are called soft callus. This will require lots of energy, which primarily comes from calories. This ensures that essential proteins like amino acids can be taken from the right type of food which would stimulate good blood flow.
So, let us take a look at the best diet that one can follow in order to recover from a fracture.
- Kale: Leafy green vegetables and herbs like kale can help in supplying good amount of protein and iron as well as calcium, which is highly important for good and strong bones. One can also find plenty of calcium in salmon and other kinds of sea food like sardines; consuming these can speed up the process. Sea vegetables like seaweed can also help in the process.
- Yogurt: Calcium can be supplied by various other kinds of food including yogurt, which has two kinds of amino acids. These amino acids are lysine and glutamine, which can assist the bones in swift calcium absorption for better recovery of the broken bones.
- Spinach: This is a very important ingredient in the bone healing process thanks to its dual elements of calcium and zinc, which come together to cause the appropriate chemical reaction for bone rebuilding. Other zinc heavy food items include pumpkin seeds and wheat germ as well as red meat.
- Broccoli: Ingredients like broccoli are rich in Vitamin K1, which is known to very good for the bone recovery process. This vitamin helps in mineralisation of the bone so that they may fuse with each other and form a new mass. One can have up to one cup of this green vegetable per day for a quick and effective fracture recovery process. Other ingredients like cheese and raw dairy products are known to have plenty of this vitamin as well.
- Green Bell Peppers: High on vitamin C which helps in producing the skin and tissue structuring element called collagen, green bell peppers are an excellent ingredient that can help you in your fracture healing process. Vitamin C can also be found in citrus fruits like oranges, strawberries as well as tomatoes.
- Milk: While milk has plenty of calcium, it also has another important ingredient called vitamin D. When calcium and vitamin D come together, the bones tend to heal much faster as vitamin D helps the bones in absorbing the calcium at a much high rate.
Hi doctor. I got married 10 months back. After marriage I am facing one or other problem in my life. No hopes. And my husband takes care. But I am working women I cannot achieve my target in office and personal life issue and day by day I am feeling hopeless mind and mind s not constant and feeling something is missing in my life. I forgot how to smile. Always clashes and hurting with my mother n la. Suggest me for some peaceful life please.
Mere mom ki left payears ki ghutno bohat card hai. Kavi kavi ghutna full jata hai. Chalne me taklif hota hai.
She is suffering from right ankle, right hip and upper back pain from more than 1 year. Tried many medicine's consulted ortho doctors no fracture but complains More pains. She can't walk for more than 500mtrs her right leg stairs to swell and she feels shock kind when she steps on uneven surface.
Keep Your Bones Strong.
Calcium and vitamin D can help you do that. Dairy products are the best sources of calcium, but other options are green, leafy vegetables like broccoli and kale. If you don't get enough calcium from food, ask your doctor about supplements.
Early morning yoga, jogging/walking will reduce fibromyalgia symptoms irrespective of age. For severe pain, pain management specialist will give medicine or nerve blocks to relieve them.
Lumbar disc prolapse causes severe back pain and radiates down to one or both legs below the knee. MRI shows exact problem. After basic pain killers - rest for a week, do some physiotherapy if pain persists, a pain management specialist is needed. He will see the possibility of a root block at the nerve affected by disc prolapse. If severe degree of prolapse, endoscopic discectomy under local anesthesia is best as a day care and minimally invasive procedure.The patient usually is discharged in 12-24 hrs.
The human body, a product of millions of years of evolution was built for movement, for activity, speed and precision. However, over the last few centuries, civilization has made our requirements to move much less than it was necessary for our ancestors. Our body is the same as it was millions of years ago, but the modifications in our lifestyle devoid of any physical activity has taken their toll. This is leading to increased incidents of back pain because of abnormal stresses on our spine. Back pain is an affliction which affects about 80% of population at one point or another in their lifetime and sadly the indications are that the incidents keep rising.With advanced technology, fewer physical complaints were to be expected, but this is not so. In fact, even today primitive races like aborigines in Australia suffer far less from back pain then, the so - called civilized races. Therefore, greater mobility and physical fitness is the hall mark in preventing back problems. There are over 100 expected causes of low back pain and many more incidents where the cause cannot be found out. But the most common cause of back pain is the wear and tear of the structures constituting the spine and this is mostly due to abnormal use of back and poor posture.The information given below helps to prevent and reduce the incidents of back pain.
Good posture - The most important way to prevent back aches, good posture, can be defined as any position which allows good use of the body for a specific task and is comfortable for as long as the position is held. Even though bad posture may not cause any discomfort, continuous poor posture will result in long term cause .
Back Posture in standing - Stay slim so that abnormal forces are not put on the spine. If you stand or walk a lot, low heeled shoes are necessary to maintain the proper curve at the small of your back.
Sitting - Choose a chair of the correct height. Feet should be supported on the floor comfortably and should not be dangling. Sit in a chair with proper support for the normal curves of your back. Choose a chair with arm rests. The arm rests should not be too high or low. Reading stance or computer monitor should be at such a height that you do not have to bend to the front or sidevise to do your work.
Lying - The bed should be firm with good mattress and not swinging or slouching because that will spoil the normal curve of the back. Use a single good pillow. It does not matter whether you lie on your back while sleeping or on your side. Sometimes it is comfortable for the back to put a pillow below the knees while lying down.
Driving - Driving seat should support the back properly. If there is a gap in between two back and the seat, it should be filled with small cushion or one can use a back rest. Seated properly, your knee should be higher than your hips. If your job demands long hours of driving on a regular basis, then it is a good idea to break the journey after half an hour to one hour drive, take a little exercise to relieve the stress and restart driving. When getting out of the car, swivel your whole body towards the door rather than suddenly jerking it. Slide your feet on to the ground and then get out.
Lifting - One should follow the principles underlined below: As you approach, relax your knees. Lowering movement should start at the knees and not at the head. After bending your knee get close to the object to be lifted ; almost sit down on the floor keeping the feet apart. One foot should be a little ahead of the other .Lift the object gradually, smoothly and without jerking, keeping the object close to the body and keeping the back straight although not necessarily vertical. Gradually get up without twisting the back, if the load is too heavy get help Pulling or pushing -When pulling or pushing any object - keep the back straight, bend at the hips and knees using your legs rather than your arms or back. Pushing is easier on your back than pulling, so push it if you have a choice.
Fitness -If you are not fit then you are much more likely to damage your back as it will not be as flexible as it should be.
Mobility - Good posture is not possible without a mobile spine and muscle tone. Joints must be moved to keep them. Mobile and the muscles, both the abdominal and back must be used to keep them strong. Back exercises if done once a day, will maintain essential flexibility of the spine and the necessary muscle strength to help to prevent injury.

help me!
my 18-pound 3.5 month old son has been a beast to nurse for a couple weeks now, no matter what i do. he won't take ebm from a bottle, either. today was the worst - he was so hungry i could hear his tummy growling, and he wouldn't take a nap. i'm struggling with a cold right now and just didn't have the strength to fight with dh about this. he said, "maybe he's ready for solids?" again. i said no way, because last week when i tried to put a spoon in his mouth, he still had the tongue thrust reflex, and shows minimal interest in food. well, in my frustration/exhaustion/desparation, i mixed up the sample of milupa rice cereal that had been *shudder* so kindly included in my welcome wagon bag. well, wouldn't you know, he took to it like he's been eating his whole life, while i choked back tears. after eating at least 2 tablespoons, he told me he was done, latched on to my breast and nursed to sleep. i finally let loose with the tears.
can someone please offer me some reassurance here? was i wrong to do this, or does it sound like my baby boy was ready? does it make sense that one so big might be ready for solids a little early?
i'm off to pump now, so this doesn't disrupt my supply too badly...and cry some more over my baby growing up way too fast (as i brace myself to hear, "told you so," from everyone who's been trying to convince me that you can't exclusively breastfeed for 6 months.)

I would like to start pumping directly into milk storage bags. I like the idea of not having to pour the milk into multiple containers and lose all the good stuff from the milk.
Does anyone here have experience with that? What kind of bags do you use? I saw Medela made bags with little straps to help, but they were expensive! How do you manage to attach it to the pump? Do you just hold it on there?
Just for the record, I have a Ameda Purely Yours and I like to use the Lansinoh bags. Any tips would be appreciated!

So, DD's 6 months 6 days today. We've been delaying solids, one of the reason being because I'm still not sure which way to go: puree or BLS. However something just put me in the mood and we happened to have ripe organic avocados at hand. So after nursing her I sliced off an avocado, put it on a plate and sat down with her. Well she immediate grabbed a bunch in her hand and mushed it around and played with it but at first didn't put it in her mouth. She also watched with great interest as I ate a few slices. Then I decided to smash a teeny tiny bit between my fingers and offer to her, and she sucked it up. Then for the next several minutes she sucked up smashed avocado from my finger (REALLY teeny tiny bits) and from her own fingers, and I could hear her swallowing and she didn't spit it/push it out with her tongue. I nursed her before and after the avocado "meal" but both were really small, 3-minute feedings on one side (well typical of afternoon nursing even without the solid "meal").
So I was just wondering:
1/ if I did anything wrong there. I'm pretty nervous since it's our very first time . I'm sure not much actually went into her but some did. Wondering what the poop will be like tomorrow .
After the experience I asked DH if he thought it was fun and worth the clean-up. He said at this point not really , but that we definitely should try again with a bigger bib around her
2/ if I should have given her a bit of water to rinse her mouth, or nursing was enough. Do you ladies give your LOs water after their solid meals? My DD doesn't have teeth yet but she's been teething for a while.
Thanks and sorry for rambling, but it's kind of big for us !

All three of my kids just had growth spurts. I don't even have to see how much they start eating to know a spurt is coming- I can tell simply by how many times they trip in a day. All of them have a spurt in foot growth FIRST and then eat everything in my house. With the foot growth comes tripping- lots and lots of tripping.
With foot growth comes the need for new shoes. I'm quite frankly frustrated with kids' shoes right now. I'm finding that brands are charging more for lesser quality and I don't like it. The girls love the sparkly light up shoes- which my oldest had for exactly 3 weeks before one shoe stopped lighting up and the sparkles were almost completely gone off of both- and the shoe itself was falling apart. 3 weeks, but the retail price was $55. I'm not paying $55 for twinkles that crinkle in 3 weeks, thankyouverymuch. I don't mind spending a bit more on good shoes. I don' t even mind buying the light up ones because they make the kids happy. But I DO mind spending more and ending up wasting every penny I spent.
My son had light up shoes from the same company. His stopped lighting up within 2 months. Seriously? When did it become ok to charge so.much.money for shoes that fall apart? It isn't just the light up feature- but the soles come apart from the shoe. In a month or 2? Not ok
Even brands that have been known for great quality for years and that I've spent the extra on because they make great shoes for kids that are good for their feet- even those are lacking in the same quality. I had a friend post photos of her daughter's shoes worn 12 times and 90% of the glitter from her shoes was gone. The other pair from the same brand, worn about as many times, had the sole separating from the shoe. These shoes also retail about $50.
Buying shoes for our kids doesn't have to be expensive, especially when you can find sales and coupons– or ideally, pair both of those things together. I try to buy quality shoes for my kids- they only get one pair of feet, after all- but I'm beyond frustrated that major brands charge so much money for poor quality.
Next month, when it's time to look for some new shoes for back to school for the kids, we'll be heading to places who sell the brands that are STILL making quality shoes- and I know I'll be paying more but I'll be sure to look to find Finish Line 2012 coupons and other ways to save on those shoes BEFORE shopping.
Do you find the same thing? Are your kids' shoes falling apart long before they should be? If you have any recommendations for kids' shoes– sneakers and everyday footwear, I'd love to hear them!!

Shirred Farm Egg with Garlic Chive Pistou
Recipe Summary
Recipe Servings: 4 portions
Recipe Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Recipe Cook Time: 15 minutes
2 Tbsp Lucini® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for the ramekins
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups leeks, white parts, thinly sliced and rinsed
1/4 cup dry sherry or dry white wine
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 large farm fresh eggs
Garlic Chvie & Dill Pistou
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Coat the base and sides of 4 ramekins with a touch of oil and set aside.
Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauté pan and cook the garlic and leeks over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent but not browned, about 6-8 minutes. Add the sherry, nutmeg and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Continue cooking another 2 minutes or until the leeks are soft and the sherry has evaporated.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and divide the leek mixture evenly among them. Carefully break an egg in each and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Spoon the pistou (click here for the recipe) over the top and serve with toasted whole grain bread brushed with more olive oil.
Tips & Notes~
To add a touch of decadence you can add about 1/2 cup of cream to the leeks halfway through the cooking.

I would like to start night weaning my son who is 14 months old. I know some people dont agree with night weaning at this age but my husband and I would like to try for another baby and this is the best thing for us.
We are not cosleeping and I am trying the Jay Gordon method.
Just a question....my son cries for a minute or two when I tell him no "milkies" until morning, which isn't bad in my opinion. The problem is he wont fall back asleep! I rock him, hold him etc and he squirms around. When I put him in his crib he cries so I pick him back up again. Last night he woke up at 1030 and was up until 1, woke up at 330 and was up until 5 when I nursed him.
Any suggestions?
