Going for Sweep Day at the Bay. WIN Baseball Clinic pictures
Dodgers won the first two games at the Bay!! Kuroda won Monday, Wolf finally got another win on Tuesday with a three hitter and now Weaver in to fill in for Chad Billingsley against tim Lincecum. Good luck Shaggy!
I am working on this thread and listening to the game on getaway day!
WIN pictures:
Here is LF pitching prospect Scott Elbert. To the right is Tommy Lasorda who always attends the WIN baseball clinics. Dr. Steinberg to the left and the two ladies in white in the back played in the All American Girls Baseball Professional league. the one between Dr. Steinberg and Scott is May Belle Blair. She was played by Madonna in the movie "A League of their Own.
Scott Elbert catching during the WIN baseball clinic. He was so excited that he was going to get his first major league start the following day but because he pitched the night before in the 15 inning game, he was sent back to Triple-A and Eric Stults was called back.
Jim Campanis let me wear his World Series ring. You can't see it too well, but I have it on!
James Loney!
Orlando Hudson and Mark Loretta are having fun at James expense talking about about a prank played on him.
The person behind the prank played on James Loney:
IIt all started when a fan asking if there was a prank they could share with us. Hudson mentioned it first and Torre and Loretta laughed. James was quiet. Well, On July 31st, while the guys were practicing, Don walked to James Loney and told him Joe Torre wanted to see him in his office. O'Dog gave the mike to James to continue the story. Seeing as how it was the day of the day of the trade deadline, James said "I told you guys I wouldn't make it" BUT O'Dog took the mike back as he told him "That is not how you reacted!" and O'Dog procedeed to give us a demonstration. It wa funny. you had to be there.
Joe Torre said he told James "I want you to know I had nothing to do with this." Joe seems like he has a nice rapport with his players.
Back to the game…There was a bench clearing.. Lincecum was working on a no-hitter thru 3 innings, then a shutout. El Guapo Andre Ethier broke the no-no and he tied the game! 9th inning is tied 2-2 going to extra innings

What a game! I missed most of the fireworks as I was in a training. I was keeping track with my MLB at bat app for the iPhone. Just wanted to show Russ some love. I loved it when he said during the post game interview that he was just doing his job protecting his pitcher. The Giants were upset. I just kept thinking how appropriate that all those calls went against Bruce Bochy & the Giants. I remember many a game calls went his teams way while coaching the Pads & I found it gratifying to see him on the receiving end! I think the Panda made something out of nothing. I think he didn't get hit. Ahhh the drama I love it. I hope there are no repercussions from today's bench clearing. Go Dodgers!!!
I missed most of it too! I could only follow the MLB Audio at work. It all evens out with calls. I remember those two when he was with the Padres. Bochi got tossed earlier and then who ever took over ALSO got tossed. Panda sure made something out of nothing. I wonder if he would have charge the mound if Brox was there. But no it was skinny JMax. Good job Russ protecting your pitcher. Russ is El Gallo! lol.
Emma: I love those pictures! Andre Ethier is a beast! How clutch is he?!
My Yankees have been winning dramatically lately. They had another walkoff last night. I call them "The Drama Club" now. It's a great name! -Virginia
Emma – it looks like you had a wonderful time at the Win Clinic. It's a great thing that the Dodgers do.
Oooooooh. I love your pic of Donnie! I miss him so much, but I'm glad he's enjoying being with the Dodgers. Thanks for sharing him.🙂
Andre Ethier IS a beast! There is no other guy we rather have at the plate in a clutch situation. I believe I read somewhere that The Yankees and the Dodgers have the most walk-offs this year. This guy at work that does not know anything about baseball was asking me "what is a walk-on or off?" LOL. "The Drama Club" is a good name for your team. The things they put us thru!
If you have a chance I know you would attend. Being on the field, in the bullpen where your boys play is great.
I LOVE Mattingly too! He was at the WIN luncheon last year, but I could not find those pics.
Too bad the Dodgers couldn't sweep the Giants, and it happened on a Juan Uribe walk off home run. Your WIN Clinic photographs are just magnificent. I bet you had a blast. Keep the spirit going, the Dodgers are doing great. Seeing a World Series ring in person, I think lots of fans would dream to do that too, that's amazing.
Matthew Tang
That is so cool that you got to try on the ring! And have photographic proof, too! Hmm, wonder if any of the Phillies coaches will have their rings with them next week at Baseball 101? Looks like you had a great day!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
GREAT PICTURES….Loney looks so handsome. And oh yeah you can see "THE RING". Lucky you….sporting a WORLD SERIES RING. YEY!
I did not see the game…since I was stuck working, but thanks for the quick up to dates on the game over at ITD. The bench clearing was something strange….Well something for the series to talk about. In my point of view Sandoval never got hit. Martin did over talked but hey. Then what's his name came charging at MARTIN….no no no one lays a finger on Martin…LOL This past two weeks strange things have been happening in MLB, I guess the pressure of the playoffs coming. Men running on the fields the other, Victorino gets beer on him (next time he should just look up and open his mouth…LOL). I am not a fan of Victorino but that was not right. I am glad that Cubs fan got kicked out. Bench clearing in several games. INTERESTING!
Now Dodgers visit the D-backs…..GO DODGERS!
Jim Campanis kept talking to our group (pink as you can see on picture) about catching and I kept staring at the ring. Noone else had noticed so after that section was over, I asked about and if I can take a picture with it, others started doing the same 🙂
Keep your eyes open to see if any of the oldtimers wear one. Jim is the only I have seen wearing his.
Doesnt he look handsome! It looks like he is an easy target to pick on. I was stuck at work too but I do have the MLB audio for away games. And you are so welcome! Well, looks like going to AZ is not going to happen, but that is OK. I'll look forward to seeing my boys at home against the Cards. I sure hope they can take care of them.
Looks like a lot of fun! That prank story was very funny too, it always adds something to the chemistry of a team when they can pull pranks on eachother and then laugh about it later.
Thanks for sharing the really cool pictures too!
Hi Emma, a friend told me about your blog so I decided to check it out, and wow, you are a great writer! nice story, I love when a team pranks each other. How about the one last year where Kyle Kendrick was told by the Phillies that he was traded to Japan. He thought he actually was and as he started packing they told him they had tricked him…. hilarious!🙂 My blog is cool I think please stop by if you wish🙂
Well you know, what made it more real is that Loney's name was coming up in trade rumors that day. A friend of mine texted me that day saying "Not my baby!!". Thanks for stopping by!
OMG Tribe Ted! I remember that prank about Kyle Kendrick! That was so funny! I'll stop and check your blog! Thanks for stopping by!
Emma, I thought you would know about that!🙂 Santana had 117 RBI through three minor league teams throughout the season in 08 and started the 09 season as the Tribe's top prospect. Through 65 games he hit .265 with 10 HR, 16 2B, 45 RBI, and a .905 OPS. He also played in the Futures game.
Emma, Tribe Chick found this for me, I found out 65 games, she found this. (Carlos is hitting .291 AVG, 20 HR, 84 RBI, 75 R, 72 BB, 69 K's for the Aero's (AA).)

You always seem to find great looking guys, Emma – you must have the magic touch! Great pics!
Wow, I wish I could have the same experience you had– but with the Red Sox. It's sooo cool that you were able to wear a World Series ring!!
I wish we had him back!!! I did not approve that trade last year! LOL. I knew he did good last year and was a top prospect. I just did not know how he was doing this year He sure is hitting well. Thanks TC! Thanks Ted!
We just have a whole bunch of good looking guys! lol
I bet you do! Those World Series rings are so cool! but you for us it has been since 1988 since we got one. Maybe this year.
That prank does sound funny. I wish I could have been there. Seeing your guys up close and personal is pretty neat. And being able to wear a World Series ring….wow.
It says "Lincecum was working on a no-hitter, then a shutout. El Guapo Andre Ethier broke the no-no and he tied the game!"
I think that is a little misleading for someone who didn't see the game. Lincecum only had a no hitter through 3 innings. A lot of Dodgers and pitchers for other teams have no hitters through 3 innings, not so unusual. They usually don't think about "no hitters" until you get to the 5th or 6th. If I read that, without knowing, I would think it was later in the game Andre broke up the no hitter. Just saying.
You are right. I should have said thru 3nnings. I was at work multi-tasking🙂 listening to the MLB audio, working on the thread adding pics, and following a game thread. you are right, I'll correct that. Thanks!
BTW in the game thread we kept saying:
"Lincecum has a no hitter" until it was broken
"Lincecum has a shutout" until it was also broken
"Lincecum is winning the game" until it was also broken.
haha we like to think we jinked it. hmm maybe we should have replaced "Lincecum" with "Giants".

I recommed the More Milk Plus. If you can't find it at Whole Foods go to www.motherlove.com - I know they sell direct.
Is it a one or the other situation? I've been taking fenugreek for a couple of days and have yet to notice a difference. Someone gave me their more milk plus - can I take them both?
My regiment is 3 fenugreek 3x daily / 3 blessed thistle 3x daily and I throw in a MM+ in between once or twice daily...It's just kind of a pain....
The MM+ you need to wait to drink before and after taking it....And since I've taken on camel-like properties () I can't be restricted when I can drink !
We've made it 1 YEAR

MM+ did work (some) but ended up with Domperidone.
I took the amount as specified on the bottle for my weight. And also followed the instructions about not eating/drinking 20min before/after taking.

World Cotton prices rose to $2 a pound last fall and winter, in part, because the government of India placed duties on exports of raw cotton to protect its textile sector. Since then, India has dropped the quotas on exports and begun offering drawbacks of duties to exporters. The National Cotton Council's Gary Adams discussed the situation in this interview that followed his presentation at the joint meeting of the American Cotton Producers and the Cotton Foundation in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Instead of launching PlayStation phone by Sony Ericsson to tackle expansion of Apple iPhone and eventually Windows Phone 7-series onto the market of handheld gaming, Sony plans to add PlayStation Network (PSN) service to Sony Ericsson mobile phones as well as to other devices the company makes.
"Leveraging PSN, we are building a new network service that will connect many more network-enabled products, including Sony Bravias, Vaios, and Blu-ray players. To satisfy the demand for more open systems, and to broaden the array of networked devices connected to our network services, we are committed to extending that service to Sony Ericsson mobile phones," said Howard Stringer, chief executive officer of Sony Corp., at the Mobile Phone World Congress, reports Gamasutra web-site.
Sony also plan to unify to a certain extent graphics user interfaces across Sony and Sony Ericsson product ranges in order to simplify their usage and encourage loyal clients to stay with the Sony brand.
"As part of these initiatives, we are also exploring consistent user interfaces across Sony and Sony Ericsson products to ensure a seamless and integrated experience for the consumer," Mr. Stringer is reported to have said.
It is interesting to note that some of Sony Ericsson phones run Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system and virtually all Sony Vaio personal computers are based on Microsoft Windows OS as well. As a result, bringing PSN to those products will mean that Sony will compete against Microsoft's games on the latter's own ground.

Last week, we were all shocked to hear about a devastating factory collapse in Bangladesh that killed more than 300 people. My heart goes out to the families affected by this tragedy. This kind of news makes us count our blessings; then, it makes business leaders reexamine their supply chains—the transparency of them, the complexity of them, and the ethics of them. Now more than ever, successful, respected businesses need knowledgeable and experienced supply chain professionals.
Many business leaders already are capitalizing on the power of effective supply chain management. Supply chain excellence is a competitive advantage, and well-run supply chains create value in organizations. This is true in North America and around the world. For these reasons, the profile of supply chain and operations management professionals is rising. Professionals, like you, are directly influencing the success of businesses.
Likewise, supply chains themselves are becoming more complicated. In these pages of APICS Operations Management Now, I've written about how an earthquake in Japan can disrupt manufacturing on the other side of world, how tainted meat can find its way across an entire continent, and more.
Now consider this: In its 2012 report, "Manufacturing the Future: The next era of global growth and innovation," the McKinsey Global Institute notes "the new era of manufacturing will be marked by highly agile, networked enterprises that use information and analytics as skillfully as they employ talent and machinery to deliver products and services to diverse global markets. In advanced economies, manufacturing will continue to drive innovation, exports, and productivity growth. In developing economies, manufacturing will continue to provide a pathway to higher living standards."
The need for skilled supply chain and operations management professionals to help navigate these intricate systems is clear.
So, it was with great interest I read the April 24, 2013, Forbes article, "An Alternative Theory of the Skills Shortage." Author Adam Ozimek indicates that, in fact, there is no skills shortage. He writes, "it is argued that manufacturers and STEM employers in general are trying to hire skilled workers but can't find them. This is used sometimes as an argument for more skilled immigration, and it's used as a case for structural unemployment. A common counterargument to this is that if there was a shortage you would be seeing a rise in wages in these industries, but for STEM workers and manufacturers in general you don't see rising wages, ergo there is no skill shortage."
What's missing from his the argument is the difference between low-cost labor and skilled professionals. Companies that seek to hire and retain knowledge workers focus on long-term sustainable business models. They seek to hire qualified individuals that have critical thinking skills and application knowledge.
Unfortunately, as in Bangladesh, there are still locations worldwide where the low-cost labor field is the only opportunity for individuals to gain employment. However, the search for low-cost labor does not define nor adequately address the skills, competencies, or needs of leading organizations.
APICS helps fill an important need, which is reflected in the most recent APICS Operations Management Employment Outlook. No matter where you are in the world, with APICS education and certification, professionals' salaries and employment potential improves.
Does your business have what it needs to operate a successful and sustainable supply chain? Do you, as a professional, have the skills and knowledge to make supply chain a strategic part of your organization? Either way, APICS can help. Visit apics.org for more information about APICS education and certifications.

Skip to comments.COL. DAVID HUNT ON THE LIBYAN WEAPONS SNAFU
Posted on 12/06/2012 3:30:26 PM PST by jessduntno
It has emerged that The White House secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year and that these weapons were turned over to Islamic militants. We spoke to Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt about this revelation.
Is that live, a podcast, what? A gist or synopsis?
The democrats raked Reagan over the coals on Iran/Contra.
Where are the screams for an independent prosecutor now?
Obama secret arms deals? I didn't know they had
a Nobel prize for that.
raghead version of fast and furious...
"Is that live, a podcast, what? A gist or synopsis?"
Link to Howie Carr show in Boston...taped earlier.
Who knew?
Now we know what Obama was trying to coverup in Benghazi.
Anybody got a gist of anything breaking or new?
Imagine the huge uproar, banner headlines, and breathless commentary from the collectivist press if Bush had done this. I would call it aiding and abetting the jihadist enemy through gross incompetence.
Yes: We figured that, but what will be done about it?
If I were laying the Las Vegas odds I would bet 15 to 1, that nothing will be done about it.
What's going to be done about it is that they muslims will be supplied more American weapons.
Muslim Marxist dictator of America gets to do anything to aid his global brethren at America's expense.
Let the muslims laugh at the stupid Christian American state that Islam has conquered from the inside
Islam is the Greatest!
Obama, may piss be upon him, is the next greatest!
"In other news, sources say FDR paid for EVERY bullet and bomb fatally fired by the Japanese on Dec. 7th at Pearl Harbor..."
Imagine if the US gov. had to admit to THAT....? What would people have said.
Further, imagine they admitted it but EVERY major newspaper simply decided to NOT report it...
"Obama's pro-jihad foreign policy: Obama admin approved secret weapons deals that is arming jihadists in Libya"
See Pam's links. It's pretty much all there.
This is what the Stand Down At Benghazi was all about. Those lowlife bass turds in the White Hut are hiding something. This is the key.
In the present case, I think it goes way beyond "gross incompetence".
What does one call it when numerous government officials willfully aid and abet our enemies in time of war, allow our own people to be killed, have the nefarious plot accidently dicovered, and then try and cover up the conspiracies through lying and scheming at the highest levels?
Frankly, we are in the US Constitution , Article II Section 4, and Article III Section 3 territory here but nobody wants to address that elephant in the room - certainly not the effete "leadership" in the US Congress.
The magnitude of what is going on and being almost universally ignored is simply breathtaking...
Hmmmm. Not a lot different from Fast & Furious, except on a grander, more lethal scale.
"Not a lot different from Fast & Furious, except on a grander, more lethal scale."
And, as expected, the whores sit on it.
Look up RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT. Then look up THE INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP. Look and see who is on their board. This sarin story is going to be used to intervene in Syria. It looks like the rebels aren't doing so good, so now we have to go in. And for what? Oil. George Soros and oil. He's the Grifter. Obama is just a Shill. Hillary is a Shill. And lest we forget, it would sure be helpful if the Americans would bomb that nasty WMD that was sent to Syria from Iraq. We can't let Bush be right.
Absolutely correct, and so damn sickening.
That pig soros really IS central to so much of what is going on everywhere.
I enjoy reading your posts, I tend to learn an awful lot from them.
Well this info and story has been 'out there' but never quite broke through; at least for long enough to make impact; and largely because of Media reluctance; and in more cases; Media determination to prevent it. Certainly, Petraeus 'sex scandal' changed the focus; as it was meant to - not only for obscuring the 'truth of the matter'; but also the guilt.
Now; of course; we have the 'clift' imagery dominating the news 24/7; and Benghazi simply struggles; as a story per a Treason really; demanding Justice. Side story: Obama 'won'- for all intents/purposes - and Obama,Inc. and their constituency could not care less, about Benghazi.
As for Repubs; we now know; that 'taxes' are not the only thing, we are giving up to Obama.
A p.s. of sorts; it was Col. Hunt; who was one of the first to share this info; not too long afterwards. He was on Fox News; various news outlets; the story shared in 'print' and online etc. NOTHING came of it - save, that is and again - the Media-buster resignation of Petraeus; and all that followed.
Incredible. Keep waiting for the 'movie' per Soros life and 'work day'; his tangled liasons; his lust for power; his greed; Et Al; ad nauseum; whether done as fact - or even cloaked in a fictional character. But no; this man; whose 'power prints' are everywhere in the world; where there is crisis and 'money to be had' and Governments to be fashioned or influenced - including ours - escapes almost entirely; public scrutiny.
Am sure; as well; the film; Benghazi: the TRUTH; is being cast as we speak.
Thank you.
I don't think Israel 'leaked' this manufactured intel on Syria's sarin gas weapons to push us. I think 0bama did. He jumped in and said, as if he must be obeyed, that Mubarak had to go. He invented some reason, that has still never been offered or asked about, that Gadaffi had to go. Now he's creating the reason to go into Syria and finish off Assad.
"Now hes creating the reason to go into Syria and finish off Assad"
But won't the press kill him for "lying about intelligence" and ANSWER go to the streets to protest?.
No, because, you see, he will have Gen. Colin Powell go to the UN first and hold a small vial of Assad's actual Sarin gas in his hand and because Powell is such a well respected general (well, actually because he's black) no one will disbelieve him.

Difficult times
In baseball when a batter fails to hit well over a period of time, it is said the batter is in a hitting slump. As a fly fisher I have been in a season-long fish-catching slump. While those that I usually fish with have not exactly been wearing out the trout, my results have been very disappointing. Of course, my time on the streams has been greatly curtailed. Heavy and frequent rains have turned the rivers into raging chocolate-colored rapids. On those days when I have been able to go fishing, I return home without even a tale of the big one that eluded me. The Graham brothers, Ed and Jim, usually do very well when they come visiting us. Even this fish catching pair have struck out more often than they have found success. The last week they were here they landed only four trout. Just one of these fish went over a foot in length.
Surprisingly, several nights when the Grahams and I went fishless, it was Barbara Ann who was able to nymph a few trout. One thing that most of the anglers I have talked to remarked about was the scarcity of fly hatches on the streams. One evening Barb and I sat on a pool on the East Branch of the Delaware hoping to find a strong hatch of insects. In an hour and one half we observed three mayflies hatch from the flow. Other years, this very pool would produce hundreds of insects and numerous rising trout. No bugs, no rising fish.
Roger Menard and Tony Bonavist, of the "bamboo gang," have mentioned the only insects they see appear briefly between 8:30 p.m. and dark. Their favorite pool on the East Branch has given them very few chances to cast to rising trout.
Barb and I were invited to Dr. Oliver Herz's camp on the East Branch the afternoon of July 3. Usually, we have found excellent fishing conditions at this location. Instead, we found the East Branch running high and dirty with trees floating by in the flow. There was no fishing that afternoon. Despite the good flows in the Beaverkill and the Willowemoc, another problem is fast approaching. While fishing the Beaverkill on July 7, I found the water temperature was up to 68 degrees. Barb and I will not fish these streams if the water temps go above 70 degrees. Trout hooked, played and then released when stream temps are high, often will not be able to survive the stress this puts upon them.
Starting on July 18, local Trout Unlimited (TU) members will be mentoring 11 teenage boys and three teenage girls at the State of New York TU fish camp. The home base for this week will be the Sons of Norway Lodge in Sherman, PA. This will be the third year that I have been privileged to be involved in this effort. I am always amazed at how quickly the youngsters pick up the basics of fly fishing. Monday morning they barely know which end of the fly rod to hold. By Friday evening they are rolling out 40-foot casts with ease. I had the pleasure of carrying on a correspondence all winter with one of the young fellows I helped last July. We exchanged flies several times during the winter, and just before we left Texas he sent along a pretty pair of fly earrings for Barbara. If you have never been involved in this effort you are missing out on a great experience. I hope to see y'all on the river. Heck, maybe I'll even have a trout on the hook.

Literally, "seafoam" .A very finegrained calcium carbonate mineral, used to make pipes. Typically curved lilke a miniature saxophone, the step usually amber. I tried one, but could not enjoy it. I would never have smoked, except Army gave smokers a break every fifteen minutes, non-smokers got no break. All the cigarette companies gave new inductees cartons of cigarettes. Too hook them, of course.
Edit: search says "hydrated silicate of magnesium."

Very interesting that meerschaum means seafoam, wwh.
But you mistyped something here that I can't figure out:
"Typically curved lilke a miniature saxophone, the step usually amber."
What does 'the step usually amber' mean? I'm assuming you left something out...

I think that "the step" is the part of the pipe that goes in the mouth. it is very often made of another material, in this case, amber._________________________

wwh, you are gifted in typos among your other many gifts.
wof': Those pipe pictures are fascinating. Almost makes me want to take up the smoking of pipes just to look at them.
Meershaum: Seafoam. Why again? Did wwh say why it's seafoam somewhere above? I haven't had too much eggnog, but I've had one too many Bloody Marys. Or is that Mary's? Or is that Maries? Isn't it fun down here beneath the equator where only we free spirits dwell?

Why meeschaum? Probably some copy writer dreaded it us to
help sell it. There is a somewhat similar stone which American Indians used to make small symbolic sculptures.
I don't know if they also used it for their peacepipes, but it seems likely. I'll go search.
Results: Indian pipestone, sometimes called catlinite, has a very different chemical composition, but similar desirable
characteristics for carving peacepipes, etc.

Dear Brush School District Community,
We hope your year is off to a great start! In the Brush School District we have plenty on our "radar" right now with school safety, state assessments, and discussions about our district needs based on our goals.
School safety is always on the minds of educators. We know when students feel safe their ability to learn increases. Recently, our Board of Education approved for us to work collaboratively with the City of Brush to reinstate a School Resource Officer (SRO).
We are working with the Colorado School District Self Insurance Pool to safety inspect each building, still coming this year will be camera monitors, keyless entry, and a visitor entry system. We will report out as new information becomes available. We welcome your feedback.
State Assessments have already started with the new ACCESS assessment for English Language Learners and will continue with the Transitional Colorado State Assessment Program (TCAP) for third through tenth grades, and the American College Testing Program (ACT) for eleventh grade students.
Each school will provide parents with a testing schedule and recommendations for student success. Our goal is to increase student growth achievement.
We recognize the importance of having great schools to support a strong community. We have started our discussions focused on our district budget and the needs of our students.
Our first meeting was "school finance 101" and our second meeting was a "brain storming" session tied to student needs.
Let's look at school finance for a moment. We basically receive funding from the state via a formula that is based on the number of students who are enrolled in Brush School District on October 1.
We currently receive $6,611 per student from the state.
In 2010, the state implemented a "negative factor" which essentially decreases the state share. The negative factor for our district is currently 16.3 percent.
Over the course of the last three years our district has lost $4.3 million and we are anticipating and additional $1.7 million in 2014. So essentially our per pupil funding has decreased by $1,287.20.
So how does this compare to districts across the state?
Our district is the 56th largest in the state with a funded pupil count of 1,453.6 however, the District's per pupil funding places us 144th out of 178 districts.
Our mission is "to be the premier school district in Colorado, ensuring that each student has solid roots and agile wings to attain any dream."
In focusing on our mission there are several ideas that have been generated to support the educational needs of our children. Suggestions that have been made at this point in time are as follows; two School Resource Officers, intervention for students not on grade level, advancing Gifted and Talented Programs, increase the number of concurrent enrollment classes students can take in preparation for college, sustain I-Connect the alternative high school (currently grant and district funded), STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics programming), expand Agricultural Education programming, increasing mental health support, additional literacy support to meet the Read Act, technology, after school programming, and a mentoring program.
We would like to gather feedback from you.
What do you see are the greatest needs in our school district? You are welcome to send me an email directly at firstname.lastname@example.com, stop by, call, access our website, or drop suggestions in the boxes we have placed at each of our schools, The Bank of Colorado, Farmers State Bank, Grocery Kart, Open Seasons (Hillrose), and Snyder Bible Church. Our committee meets again on February 20 at 7 p.m. You are welcome to join us.
Dr. Michelle Johnstone

You want to make your Web pages cache-friendly, but you're worried you'll lose advertising revenue. Ads are a reality in our current model of the Web, and it's important to ensure that they work and to keep track of how often they are served. Fortunately, it's easy to make ads work without losing cache friendliness in our pages.
To explain how to make ads uncacheable while having a cacheable page, I need to explain entities and selectively applying Cache-control headers. For a detailed description of Cache-control headers, see Cache-Friendly Web Pages.
The principles described here work for all the major elements in a Web page. Once you understand them, you can selectively apply cache headers to every entity on your pages.
HTTP is a client-server protocol. The client initiates the contact, asking the server to provide the entity described in the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). A URI can be a location (a URL) or a name (a URN). URLs are the most common, but HTTP can handle either.
The server returns a response. The response consists of some HTTP headers and an "entity." The entity includes entity headers and a body that is (we hope) the requested data. Cache-control headers and Expires headers are entity headers, and they apply only to the entity they are included in.
Related Reading
Inside the entity, especially if the entity is HTML, there may be URIs referring to additional entities. HTML image tags are the most common of these, and Web browsers read image tags and then send additional GET requests for the new entities to Web servers.
Any time you include a URI (relative or full) in your HTML, you may be referring to another
entity. The exception is a fragment token,
#foo, in the same entity it refers
to. If stripping the fragment off would leave you pointing to the same page, it's the same
entity. Other than that, every distinct URI refers to a distinct entity.
The browser (or other client) will make a separate request to pull down each entity. In the case of a link, it waits for the user to initiate the request. In the case of images, it usually initiates the request itself. (Some browsers do not request images, or do so only on user-initiated request.) Other included objects may or may not be automatically downloaded; please see the HTML specification to determine what the browser is expected to do with them.
All images, including images that are ads, are individual entities. And individual entities have their own, individual Cache-control or Expires headers. So we can have ads in cache-friendly Web pages without actually caching the ads.
This fact also allows us to have images with very long expiry times in frequently changing (and rapidly expiring) Web pages, and to have other elements uncacheable.
Setting ads to be uncacheable is one way of attempting to count the hits accurately. It's a rather unfriendly way of doing it, though; it forces the reloading of a (usually) static object, every time.
One way to make ads extremely cache-friendly and still be able to count the hits is to use cacheable images, but use "302: Found" or "307: Temporary Redirect" to reach the ad. The browser makes a GET request to the server, is redirected, and makes an additional GET request for the ad, which is served from the proxy. The server can count the redirects to count the hits on the ads.
307: Temporary Redirect is an entity header that requests the browser to send another GET request for the actual entity, but to ask for the original entity next time (unlike "301: Moved Permanently"). The URI to redirect to should be given by the Location field in the response and also in the content of the 307.
302: Found is also a suitable entity header for this purpose, but it's ambiguously managed in many browsers. A comment in RFC 2616 explains why it was split into "303: See Other" and "307: Temporary Redirect."
The advantage of this method is that the images themselves are cached, but you can still count the hits on the ad--and most caches do not cache redirects, so your hit-count is more accurate than for ads without Cache-control headers. The specification explicitly states that 307 is not cacheable unless stated otherwise.
You and your customers save bandwidth on the images, and your hit-count is as accurate as for images with No-cache headers. Everyone wins!
There is a latency cost, as the browser sends the GET request for the image, receives the redirect, and sends another GET request for the actual image. In most cases, this will be slight, especially if the browser is behind a cache that already contains the ad image.
If the image is cached, total bandwidth is reduced. If the image is not cached, total bandwidth is increased by the size of the second GET request and the 307--both extremely small.
In the page that contains the ad, use an image tag that displays the correct height and width for the banner. The image tag should point to a URI that doesn't actually exist, but that is used to handle the redirect.
The redirect is managed by the mod_alias directive
Redirect. Ensure that
httpd.conf is set to load mod_alias. You may need to recompile Apache
after editing this file.
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
LoadModule expires_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_alias.so
Redirect directive may be set in any of the document realms. See
Cache-Friendly Web Pages for a
description of Apache document realms and how to set directives within realms.
For our purpose, either a
307 or a
302 (
temp) redirect will serve.
Set the source to the fake URL the page refers to, and the second to the advertisement you
actually want to display. The first path must be an absolute path from the current host.
The second must be a full URL.
Redirect 307 /path/in/page http://host.and/path/to/advertisement
Redirect temp /path/in/page http://host.and/path/to/advertisement
The redirections will be logged in the access log. From there, count hits for each advertisement with a log-analysis script.
If serving banners via a CGI script, you can write the redirection into the script. Return the Status and Location headers rather than returning the actual image.
In the page, include the image as a link to the CGI script, something like
<img src="http://mybannerserver/banner.cgi">. This will call
which issues a redirect to the image that the browser then calls. You can then read your ad
hits from your access logs, or record them as part of the script.
A sample
banner.cgi, stripped to the barest minimum, is:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
sub Pick_a_banner()
# Use whatever algorithm you prefer
# to choose the banner URI
return "http://myserver/defaultbanner.gif"
print "Status: 307\n";
print "Location: $banner_uri\n";
print "\n";
exit 0
If your advertisements are served from a Web server you have no access to, you may not be able to make the ads themselves cache-friendly. But you can still make your pages cache-friendly without affecting the ads.
This is just one method of making ads cache-friendly. The explanation of entities and the examples should let you modify your own system to be as cache-friendly as possible.

Thomson MTB Carbon Cross Country HandlebarIf you love the feeling of fast and flowy singletrack, then you know that it takes considerable confidence on your bike, and that you need to be in tune with the trail. Having a handlebar with the right dimensions, shape and weight is essential to executing the right lines. What's more, you have to be able to trust that the brand at your fingertips is going to deliver at every turn.
The Thomson brand is synonymous with precision and longevity. Many riders choose Thomson components even in the face of added weight. They're that good. While you could supply your road or mountain bike with a Thomson stem, seatpost and seatpost collar, you could not complete the trifecta for core bike strength without a Thomson Carbon Cross Country Handlebar, because they didn't exist; until now.
Thomson, inextricably influenced by the aerospace industry, knows how to CNC as good as anyone today. Their leading and innovative designs are highly lauded by the industry and riders alike. So, when news came out that a highly anticipated cross country handlebar was on the way to production, you could imagine the excitement felt. These bars are made with three different fiber types with different tensile strength and tensile modulus, including high strength carbon fibers. This helps to allocate stiffness and flex where needed. The 1.5K woven impact ends help prevent damage to unidirectional fibers from shortening the bar or impact with the ground. Additionally, the bars are molded with an EPS mandrel inside to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during molding. Most other bars are molded over inflated nylon bladders.
The flat bar features an off-center clamp area which allows for a flat riding position and reversible for a 5mm drop for 29 inch bikes. It has 6° of backsweep for comfort and the 730mm width offers plenty of leverage. The bar is certified to EN and tested to DIN+, so you can rest assured that they will not fail. If that weren't enough, Thomson also warrants their Carbon, Titanium and Aluminum Handlebars to be free from defects in material and workmanship for two years, from the date of purchase, to the original owner.
- Light weight, precision tolerance clamp sections.
- All carbon fiber material is produced by Toray and uses tailor made nano epoxy resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fiber to Boeing and Airbus.
- 6 degree backsweep, Flat/5mm drop

Peter Rabbit Organics sent us some of their organic fruit pouches. We were sent each of the flavors- Mango, Banana and Orange, Apple and Grape, and Strawberry and Banana. 100% fruit, in a handy pouch that needs no refrigeration (until after its opened, but really, there won't be any left!), no spoons, no dishes. Just grab it and go. Peter Rabbit's pouches are BPA free and made right here in the USA.
I think my favorite part of the fruit pouches (besides their yummy goodness) is that they are good for ages 6-adult. Meaning if I toss a few in the van or the diaper bag, I have a snack any one of the five of us can eat, without any mashing. That's invaluable in this family of mine, especially having a baby, a 2.5 and a 4.5 year old (excuse me, 4 and three quarters). Not always easy to find portable snacks for little ones that all three of them can eat. Plus the pouches don't take up a ton of space, always a bonus when on the go!
My oldest is already mad at me that we don't have any more of the Apple and Grape flavor. She "likes" the others but "just LOVES" the Apple and Grape. I think I'm preferential to the Mango, Banana and Orange, myself.
I am thinking these will be great in summer, if you toss them in the freezer and use them as a cold pack when heading to the park. Or maybe even have them frozen!! However you have them, its a full serving of fruit. How can you go wrong?
You can find Peter Rabbit on Twitter and you can find them on Facebook.

Sunday Synopsis: A bit late, 2011 March 7th
This past week I accomplished the following:
* Wrote and scheduled the Week 10 offering for 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy and History (scheduled for March 9th).
* Posted Days 1,2,3,4,5, &6 for the Fearless Females series.
* Worked on the rewrite for the "Clay" piece. Had some major learning curves with "Open Office" and finally decided to cut and paste. Sometimes old tried and true methods are more time efficient --- but I learned a few things along the way.
* Spent some time on Picassa. I actually have not a clue how this thing works, but some how -- without my knowledge or intent -- I have pictures on Picassa. I think this may be a functional way to set up pictures for the book of Uncle Ralph's Letters, but we will see. Perhaps I can find someone in town that knows how to use Picassa.
My intent for the week is the following:
* draft Release form and letter for the book on UR'sL (This is now a 3-week left over. Hmm, a tad bit of resistance, I see.)
* Finish the rewrite of "Clay" and submit for publication.
* Post for Fearless Females series.
The past week has been an OK week as far as writing, blogging is concerned. I wandered into areas that took up too much time, but I like learning and delving into stuff I don't know about. I dinna finish the piece I had started for the COG's Womens History. I am also finding that the two blogging series are major time slurpers. If these series become too much of a time-drain, I may have to just let them slip by the wayside. However, I am finding them useful for some sort pieces that I haven't thought about before, so -- I'll wait for more clarity about this situation.

You have photos on Picasa because that is where they go when you use Blogger. When you set up a gmail account, you get Picasa storage and other fun stuff. Gmail = Blogger = Picasa storage. Slick how they make them work together, eh??ReplyDelete
Great work week!
I'd like to do Fearless Females too, but it's just too much. Didn't even do 52 Weeks last week because I really couldn't think of anything for sounds (other than music, but I suspect that will be the topic of a future week). I've been contacted by two people (via my blog) concerning Jacob Wolfe 1734's descendants, and have spent all genealogy time the past two weeks pulling up all the descendants I didn't already have in the Texas branches on Ancestry.com. Thankful for the Texas birth, marriage, and divorce indices there - I can get everybody born through 1997, and marriages and divorces through 2002!ReplyDelete
Carol and Amanda, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Definitely helps to keep me on task, when I know someone reads these rambling Sunday (sometimes) Synopses.ReplyDelete

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Corporate earnings still continue to drive the markets, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday. Cramer said the rule of thumb remains that domestic companies are good while those selling overseas are bad, and those that execute well are rewarded even more.
That's why on Monday, Cramer said he'll be watching Buffalo Wild Wings
Cramer said he'd be a buyer of Cummins
Wednesday brings Allergan
Then on Thursday, it's American International Group
Finally on Friday, unemployment takes the stage. Cramer said he expects this report to be a non-event, but he does expect the naysayers to be out in force on Wednesday as the Federal Reserve meets. He told viewers to ignore these bears and buy on any weakness.
Executive Decision: Nick Akins
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Nick Akins, president and CEO of American Electric Power
When asked why AEP hasn't already switched from dirty coal to cleaner, renewable alternatives, Akins explained his company has made a massive investment over the past 106 years and that means things can't be changed on a dime. He said power plants are long-lead-time projects and can't move as quickly as many environmentalists may like.
Akins said that with coal mining occurring throughout a large part of AEP's footprint, coal will continue to be a part of the company's fuel mix for the foreseeable future. However, that doesn't mean AEP isn't making changes to be more environmentally friendly. He said his company has a long history of innovation and has some of the cleanest, highest efficiency coal plants in the country. AEP is also switching from coal to natural gas where it can, which also helps lower greenhouse gas emissions across the board.

I posted the following on the 0-3 months forums:
Ok, so I went back to work about 3 weeks ago. I had a small-ish stash of milk in the freezer for when I went back and have been able to pump 2-3 times each shift (10 hours each shift) but have only gotten about 2 ounces each session (which, from what I understand, is normal). I had a rough start with pumping, but things finally started working for me. I pump 1-2 times before bed and rarely in the morning before my DD (3 months old) wakes. I know she eats more than that, as she takes about 3 ounces every 2 hours when others watch her. We have gone through all the small supply that I had and for some reason fell behind and everything I've been pumping each day has been used up same day. Obviously I'm not pumping enough to keep up with her needs and I want to avoid giving her formula at all costs (though she did have her first little bit of formula tonight, which I'm not pleased about, but there wasn't any other option.). I eat a decent diet; oatmeal for breakfast and lots of water throughout the day. I know that there are lots of foods out there that help boost supply, but is a boost of my supply really what I need? I mean, I don't want to have too much milk and end up with an OS and mastitis! Help!

Justices seem set to drop Defense of Marriage ActBy ADAM LIPTAK and PETER BAKER
The New York Times | March 28,2013WASHINGTON The Supreme Court appeared ready Wednesday to strike down a central part of a federal law that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman as a majority of the justices expressed reservations about the Defense of Marriage Act on the second day of intense arguments over the volatile issue of same-sex marriage.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who most likely holds the decisive vote, returned again and again to the theme that deciding who is married is a matter for the states. The federal government, he said, should respect the historic commitment of marriage and questions of the rights of children to the states.
That suggests that he is prepared to vote with the courts four liberal members to strike down the part of the 1996 law that recognizes only the marriage of opposite-sex couples for more than 1,000 federal laws and programs. Such a ruling would deliver federal benefits to married same-sex couples in the nine states, and the District of Columbia, that allow such unions.
If the 1996 law stands, Kennedy said, you are at real risk with running in conflict with what has always been the essence of state power, which he said was to regulate marriage, divorce and custody.
All four members of the courts liberal wing questioned the constitutionality of the law, though they largely focused on equal protection principles rather than on the limits of federal power.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for instance, said the law effectively created two kinds of marriage: the full marriage and then this sort of skim-milk marriage.
Paul D. Clement, who served as solicitor general under President George W. Bush and is defending the law on behalf of House Republicans, argued that the federal government was entitled to use a uniform definition of marriage across the nation.
Clement said the many federal laws and programs affected had originally been passed with the traditional definition of marriage in mind. When Congress approved the Defense of Marriage Act, he said, it was worried that if one state extended the definition to include same-sex couples, it would effectively force other states and the federal government to recognize them, too. Lawmakers were concerned, he said, that this is a redefinition of an age-old institution.
Justice Elena Kagan said there was something else at work.
Do we really think Congress was doing this for uniformity reasons, or do we think the Congress judgment was infected by dislike, by animus, by fear? she asked. She read a quote from the House record at the time the law was passed suggesting that lawmakers wanted to show moral disapproval of homosexuality.
Clement said that just because a couple legislators may have had an improper motive did not mean there was not a legitimate purpose to the law.
After an appeals court struck down the challenged part of the law, the outcome the administration had urged, the Justice Department nonetheless appealed, saying the issue warranted an authoritative decision from the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and some of the other more conservative justices expressed irritation that the case was before them at all and said President Barack Obamas stance to enforce the law but not defend it contradicted itself.
I dont see why he doesnt have the courage of his convictions and not enforce the law if he thinks it is unconstitutional, the chief justice said.
There were also questions about whether House Republicans had standing to defend the law. Nobody is suggesting, Clement said, that this is a best-practices situation. But there did not seem to be a consensus on the bench to avoid deciding the constitutionality of the law.
Dismissing the case on standing grounds would probably have the effect of letting stand the appeals court ruling that threw out the law. But while the conservative justices expressed skepticism that the court should be deciding the matter, Kennedy suggested there was an issue legitimately before them because it seems to me theres injury here.
Wednesdays case, United States v. Windsor, No. 12-307, concerns two New York City women, Edith Windsor and Thea Clara Spyer, who married in 2007 in Canada. Spyer died in 2009, and Windsor inherited her property.
The 1996 law did not allow the Internal Revenue Service to treat Windsor as a surviving spouse, and she faced a tax bill of about $360,000 that a spouse in an opposite-sex marriage would not have had to pay.
Windsor sued, and in October the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, in New York, struck down the 1996 law. The decision was the second from a federal appeals court to do so, joining one last May from a court in Boston.
When the Supreme Court agreed in December to hear her case, Windsor, 83, said she was thrilled. I wish Thea was here to see what is going on, she said.
Until 2011, the federal government enforced and defended the law, as is customary for all federal laws.
But in February of that year, Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. announced that he and Obama had concluded that the law was unconstitutional and unworthy of defense in court. Holder added that the administration would continue to enforce the law.
The main argument Wednesday lasted an hour and featured a rematch between Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. and Clement, who were adversaries a year ago in arguments over Obamas health care law.
Verrilli said the 1996 law violated equal protection and gave the example of a soldier killed in the line of duty who would not be entitled to the dignity and solace of official notification to next of kin.
Windsor is represented by Roberta A. Kaplan, a lawyer in New York. She said the 1996 law enacted a novel form of discrimination for the first time in our countrys history.
Kennedy wrote the majority opinions in the courts two major gay rights cases, Lawrence v. Texas, a 2003 decision that struck down a Texas law making gay sex a crime, and Romer v. Evans, a 1996 decision that struck down a Colorado constitutional amendment that banned the passage of laws protecting gay men and lesbians.
In the Windsor case, two of Kennedys central concerns states rights and gay rights may be said to align, and his questions suggested that he will vote to strike down the law.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Known as the City of Gold, Johannesburg offers a sparkling blend of lush green spaces, fascinating history and excellent shopping and dining. The surrounding World Heritage Site, 'Cradle of Humankind', is thought to be the home of humanity, where many of the world's oldest human fossils were discovered.
Strengthened by the gold rush of the late 19th century, 'Jo'burg' has emerged from the struggles of apartheid as a vibrant metropolis bathed in almost year-round sunshine. Enter the gateway to South Africa on stopovers or longer holidays in Johannesburg and explore some of the deepest mines in the world. Go on an exhilarating safari adventure or indulge in some retail therapy at luxury malls and bustling open-air markets. Sit back with a glass of chilled South African wine and soak up the buzzing atmosphere in bohemian Melville. Then tuck into succulent meat cooked in traditional 'braai' style, or experience lavish dining at a 5 star restaurant.
On longer Johannesburg holidays, the 6-7 hour Panorama Route from the city is well worth the drive. On the Drakensberg escarpment in Mpumalanga, the aptly-named God's Window is a vision of scenic splendour. See the awe-inspiring Blyde River Canyon and the dramatic trio of dolomite domes known as the Three Rondavels. Then journey a further 90 minutes to Kruger National Park, and look out for the 'Big 5' animals on an exhilarating safari adventure in this spectacular game reserve.
Hire a car in Johannesburg and drive the 2-3 hour journey to vibrant Sun City, known as the 'Las Vegas' of South Africa. Enjoy a relaxing round of golf or choose from a variety of other sports. Try your luck at the glittering casinos, take in a show or make a splash at one of the world's greatest water parks, Valley of Waves. Spot the amazing beasts, birds and rare species to be found at the Madikwe or Pilanesberg nature reserves – both malaria-free. The drive from Sun City to Madikwe takes approximately 2 hours, with a 4-hour return journey to Johannesburg.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Empire, Michigan is a wonderful place to visit year-round. Today, photographer Neil Weaver tells us what makes Good Morning America's choice of "The Most Beautiful Place in America" special in the springtime.
Now that the cold days of winter have surrendered to the warmth of spring, the landscape around us is brand new again. The blooms and blossoms give us vibrant colors that we've been missing since last autumn. As a nature and landscape photographer one of my favorite places to photograph this time of year is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The Setting
Spring is an excellent season to visit. The wildflowers are out, the climate is comfortable and the park is peaceful. Upon arrival the first thing you will notice is that this park is not simply sand dunes but a diverse group of forests, streams, inland lakes, beaches, historic buildings, and hiking trails.
The Beaches
The beaches within the park make for excellent photography subjects. Whether you visit Platte River Point with its river winding out into Lake Michigan, Esch Beach with the towering Empire Bluffs in view, or Good Harbor Bay with its deep aqua-blue water, it is worth your while to take the time to see each one. These are just a few of the beautiful beaches you can explore as each one along this 35 mile stretch of lakeshore is pleasantly unique.
For panoramic views of the area's unique landscape, I like to stop at the park's scenic overlooks as I take a ride around Pierce Stocking Drive. This seven-mile driving loop is full of stunning views of the dunes, Lake Michigan, and nearby Glen Lake. The park also has some short hikes that lead to breathtaking lookouts at Alligator Hill, Empire Bluff, and Pyramid Point. I guarantee that after getting a glimpse of the scenery from these spots you won't want to leave!
The Trails
When I want the full experience of the Sleeping Bear Dunes I take a walk along one of the park's many hiking trails, which vary in length and difficulty. To photograph the large expanse of wind-sculpted dunes I enjoy walking the Dunes Trail. This path winds up and down through sandy terrain past dune grasses, juniper, thistles and bearberries. The highlight of the hike is passing through the Ghost Forest, an old grove of sun-bleached trees that have been overtaken by the shifting sand. When standing among them you'll feel like you're in another world.
The park's features mentioned above only scratch the surface of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore – a lifetime could be spent exploring and enjoying every corner of the park, realistically. The best part is knowing that at the end of your stay you will leave with some great photos and a lot of good memories.
To see more photos of the Sleeping Bear Dunes visit Neil's website and Facebook fan page.
Neil Weaver is a landscape photographer and proud Michigander. He travels throughout Michigan photographing the state's beaches, lighthouses and parks.

Freedom New Mexico
PORTALES — Senior first baseman Taylor Howard hit three home runs and drove in 11 runs Wednesday as the Eastern New Mexico University softball team swept the University of the Southwest in a non-conference doubleheader.
Howard was 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and four RBI as the Zias won the opener 11-4.
Erin Roufosse (3-11) went the distance, scattering nine hits while striking out six and walking one.
Katlyn Medrano added a two-run home run — her third of the season — as the Zias banged out 16 hits.
Mari Niebjas went 3-for-3 for Hobbs-based UofSW (10-12).
Howard added a pair of home runs as the Zias took the second game 13-4, including a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning that triggered an eight-run rule that ended the game. It was Howard's third multiple homer game of her career.
Junior third baseman Paige Colburn hit a grand slam in ENMU's five-run first. It was the first time in school history the Zias hit two grand slams in a game.
Tessa Fioritti and Medrano added three hits each for the Zias, who finished with 15 hits.
Brittany Widner (2-3) picked up the win.
Liz Garcia was 3-for-3 with three doubles for UofSW.

My LO is 2wks, 6 days old today, and for the past week, she only eats for about 8-10 mins each feeding and I feed her about 8 times a day and I have to usually tickle her a lot to get her to that 10 min mark or up to 12 min. She has about 7-8 wet diapers a day, and about 6 stools a day and on average can be a somewhat gassy baby, and a little fussy when she eats. Due to flat nipples, I use a nipple shield to feed her, though if she isnt too fussy, sometines she will take the right breast without the shield. I suspect that I have OALD since her stools have turn from yellow to yellow-green and sometimes just straight green, and after my milk letdown (which it often does 2x if she delatches) she gets really fussy, and often chokes at the breast, gulping, and often times she will delatch and get really frustrated.
Well, last night she got ultra frustrated to the point where I tried to tube feed her formula and bottle feed her expressed bm. Well, she took neither, and then finally after about 2 hours of frustration and me half the night, she took the breast again for about 8 min and went to sleep. I know she is about to come upon her 2nd growth spurt, and I am confused as to what I should do. I have tried nursing her in an uphill position, block feeding, and I have tried removing her from the breast after letdown, but that seemed to make her just as fussy as leaving her on the breast. I talked to my LC, and she said that she doesnt believe its OALD, and if I have more issues, then I can come in to her office sometime next week.
So any help/suggestions would be most appreciated? Also, should I be overly concerned that at this age she doesnt eat that long? When she first started, she was eating about 23-25 min each feeding, one breast and her weight gain is good.
