My body creates, houses, nurtures and nourishes life. That is awesome.
Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
And the other posters are right - it is so, so worth it to continue. You put the HARD work in now, and it's so benificial later! I remember wanting to just pump and bottle feed Owen - I was so tired of trying to get him to nurse only to have to do the bottle and pump afterwards, then start all over. And, there were feedings where I didn't try to nurse him, because I just didn't have it in me...and I am still breastfeeding my 2 1/2 yr old daugther - so I truly believe this is best and have done it long term. But it's different with a preemie and it really is hard. However, it is possible and I'm so glad I stuck with it. It sounds like you have a good supply and like your little guy is gaining well - what if you try to nurse him exclusively for a few days - doing the every hour thing if he needs it and just pump to comfort once he's done if you feel like you still have a lot of milk? (Or if he feeds well off one side, you could just pump a little on the other). That way you hopefully avoid mastitis. You will need to decrease the pumping slowly, but it will be easiest to do that if you make sure he gets what he needs from nursing and then pump only to comfort, rather than emptying your breasts. This way you start signaling your body to produce more of what your little guy needs instead of a full pumping's worth each time. Does that make sense?

I can do this! I am actually (unfortunately) already back to work. I'm working part-time though, so on the days I'm not working, I will get my mom to come over and we can marathon together. Lucky her!! This starts tomorrow! I'm a little worried though, I'm not feeling all that enthusiastic about it!
Just think about us all here for you!
"We are not put on earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you."
For what it's worth, lots of moms comes here at around 6 weeks to post about how they're ready to give up on nursing, even without the difficulties you've faced/are facing. It's a really tough time - you're over the euphoria of having a newborn, and all the "help" has gone back to their own lives, but things often haven't started to get easier yet. But they will, very soon. Hang in there.
You're already doing so well with the EPing, as said in an earlier post, it's the BM that's the great thing, but it is also difficult getting the EBF going.
We've been there. It's very hard when you bring them home from NICU, where they have a lovely 3 or 4 hourly feed routine, you measure the exact amount you're giving them, and you know it'll last them for the time till their next scheduled feed. This routine however, is only set up for the ease of the NICU staff, not the ease of the baby. I desperately tried to keep our four hourly feed routine going when we brought our daughter home, but it didn't fit well with me, having to BF, then top up, and then pump. Felt like I was doing every feed three times. So we took the leap of faith, and went to exclusive demand BF during the day.
At night, we stuck with the bottle EBM feeds four hourly as we felt we needed sleep more importantly! Until she began sleeping longer, then went to EBF.
You mention supply doesn't seem to be an issue for you, have you thought that maybe you have a fast let down, and your baby is struggling with this?
What's the nature of the fussiness after a feed? I found it really difficult working out what my baby wanted, and would often just offer a BF, when it may have been something else. First time parenting is mindboggling!

Thanks again for the responses. I did buy a sling, but I must not have it down just yet because I still have to stop and sit for him to nurse. I was however wondering about the let down. I was reading posts about OALD and was curious if thats what I had. We are using a shield right now and as soon as I put it on, my milk starts to drip out of the holes. What a mess it makes. Its nice, because he doesnt have to do much sucking and it def encourages him to latch, but it may be whats frustrating him. I have found that we are more successful an hour or so after I've pumped. The fussiness after a feed is potentially a touch of reflux, but its not after every feed. More or less, he just screams after he's fed. I dont really know what the problem is. I am convinced its either reflux or overtiredness. Lots of stuff going on here that I just dont know!
Could be relux. My daughter got mild reflux once we'd brought her home from NICU. It was about her actual due date. She'd scream when laid flat after a feed. Would arch her back when BF, and kept pulling off. We wondered what had happened to the perfectly content baby we had while she was in NICU. I never had the OALD issue, so knew it wasn't that.

Hm...well we are going to meet with the peditrician about possible reflux issues. If it is oversupply and OALD, what is the solution?

That's More Like It
We saw a great Padres team during Spring Training. Somehow, that team got left behind on Opening Day. But thankfully, they got here last night! That dominant-pitching, base-stealing, agressive-hitting, stunning-defense team that we watched in Spring Training has arrived.
Seriously, it was a huge relief to watch these guys play last night. They had me a little worried there after Opening Day, but I think everything's going to be okay.
A huge part of the success of this game was the pitching performance by Chris Young. Did you know that this guy hadn't started a game since June of last year? Anyways, he threw six incredibly solid innings. He threw a one-hitter with three walks and five strikeouts. Man he was solid. That was the Chris Young that we saw in 2007. He's been plagued by injuries for the past few seasons, but I think he's really back. And that's HUGE news for the Padres. It's just huge. Amazing outing by CY last night.
Another big part of this game was Everth Cabrera. In the top of the second, he hit a two-run double to break open the game.
Then Will Venable hit a solo homer in the top of the fourth. That kid has soo much power!
In the top of the sixth, Everth did it again. This time he hit a two-run triple to extend our lead to 5-0. He finished the game with three hits and four RBIs.
CY was pulled after only 86 pitches, so the bullpen came in and made things interesting. Luke Gregerson came in and gave up three runs. Not good. Then Cesar Ramos and Mike Adams came in and they did fine.
So we went into the top of the ninth with a 5-3 lead, and I was already thinking about getting some insurance for Heath. Yeah, I know, he did great last year, but he made it interesting enough to make me nervous even with a two-run lead. So I was thrilled when Adrian Gonzalez hit his second home run of the year in as many nights.
ADRIAN'S SOOO AMAZING!!! I just think it's soooo cool that he's already got two home runs and we've only played two games. Man he's amazing.
We got our extra insurance run, and Heath Bell came in to try to save his first game of the year. He did make things interesting, as usual, which was actually caused by his defense, but then they redeemed themselves by turning a double play behind him. He struck out the last batter to finish of the game.
Huge sigh of relief. That game was amazing, and soooo much better than the game before. I'm so thrilled that we were able to play so amazingly last night.
By the way, we stole three bases last night. It was really cool to see all that during the spring, but even better to know that it's actually going to happen in the regular season.
Tonight we're wrapping up this series with the D'backs. Kevin Correia will be starting for the Padres. YAY!!
3 Comments
How about Everth? He was the spark plug that ignited that offense. I also think Adrian is amazing. Good win!
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
Don't worry, the Padres willl get back on track soon!! The Red Sox are the same way, and yes, it is annoying!!
I had no idea that Young hadn't started in so long. I think that guy is something else. I feel like his career is never going to be what it should be b/c of those injuries. I forgot how good Veneble could be. Hopefully he and your other youngsters bring a winner (or at least .500) in 2010.

Even if you've never played a Pokemon game in your life, you're probably familiar with the basic premise. You travel around the world to capture and battle fictional creatures, all of which love fighting and never suffer any harm when they get clawed in the face or blasted by fire because that would be sad. It's about as wholesome and innocent as a series about magical cock fights can get.
But the first Pokemon game came out over 15 years ago, and if you've long stopped paying attention, you'll be surprised by the bizarre things that have happened to the series. All those innocent kids who grew up with Pokemon aren't so innocent anymore, and that's why ...
4 Players Became Obsessed With Math
When you're a kid, playing Pokemon is easy: You pick the Pokemon that look rad and make them attack the other guy until someone wins. When you have a gigantic armored turtle armed with highly pressurized water cannons, it's not hard to determine your battle tactics.
The Pokemon Company
"What if I didn't use my massive cannons? Wait, no, that's stupid."
Sure, there was some strategy, but as long as you didn't, say, send a walking flower to fight a creature that's literally made of fire, you could hold your own against most foes.
But then fans grew up and got serious about winning. They collectively said, "Hey, this game where monsters battle monsters is fun, but how can I add spreadsheets to it and get this MOTHERFUCKING PARTY STARTED FOR REAL!?"
Like many games, Pokemon has a lot of math going on in the background -- there are hidden statistics and calculations that determine how strong your critters are, sort of like how supercomputers secretly control the elaborate simulation that is our existence. Dedicated gamers have gone through the looking glass and figured out the inner secrets of Pokemon. For example, here's how "individual values," one of several hidden statistics, are calculated:
For those of you who don't feel like digging out your TI-89s to follow along, here's a practical application comparing two Pokemon:
What, that doesn't make sense to you either? Well, don't look at me for an explanation -- I've played the majority of Pokemon games, but this still just looks like a calculator got diarrhea to me. The only context I can provide is that a Marill is this:
The Pokemon Company
Intensive research is clearly needed here.
Intuition tells me that Marill B has an advantage over Marill A, but that's based solely on the shaky assumption that something called "thick fat" isn't as powerful as something called "huge power."
I'm not going to bore you with the nitty-gritty details of Pokemon math, because reading about it actually makes you less physically attractive, but it boils down to this: All Pokemon of the same type will have slightly different attributes. That means some will be naturally stronger than others and some will have (not to get technical here) a certain "fatness" about the "thick area." You can therefore make sure your Pokemon is the best of its kind if you're willing to read long essays on the subject, invest many tedious hours in the game, and reduce your knowledge of sunlight to a hazy memory of what it once was.
Gamers who want to be the very best (like no one ever was) have to catch or breed the same Pokemon over and over again until they get the characteristics they want, while releasing the inferior specimens into the wild to ultimately live richer and more fulfilling lives than the gamer ever would.
3 It Secretly Got Dark
The Pokemon Company
Everyone, I'd like you to meet Drifloon:
The Pokemon Company
"Drifloon" is the Japanese word for "Heart Feet and Ghost Poop Toupee."
Cute, right? These guys just float around, enjoy the open skies, and, uh, try to kidnap children.
Yup, Drifloons are all attempted, and apparently sometimes successful, child snatchers. According to the official in-game descriptions, they try to pull away children who grab them, and any kid who mistakes Drifloons for balloons "could wind up missing." Suddenly the game where you make lightning squirrels murder fire dogs doesn't sound so innocent, does it?
Every single Pokemon has bits of backstory to help explain why there are psychic creatures with IQs of 5,000 and slugs that could melt your face off just roaming the wilderness. Most of these descriptions are sensible, and often they're even quite cute. And then you've got wild balloons looking to raise a generation of Lindbergh babies.
I'm just getting started. The developers have been sneaking in more and more of these creepy little stories. Here's a little fellow named Banette:
The Pokemon Company
If it doesn't look disturbing enough for you, check out the erotic fan-art version.
A Banette is a doll that comes to life when its owner discards it. Upset about being neglected, it stalks the child who abandoned it like a twisted Japanese Toy Story. It casts curses on its enemies by using its own body as a voodoo doll (which suggests it doesn't quite know how voodoo works, but whatever). While most Pokemon are flesh and blood, this one is literally powered by the force of its own hateful grudge. Its only purpose in life is revenge. And it lives in garbage bins and dark alleys, so once a balloon lures a child there, it has the perfect spot to do the deed. Damn, being a kid in this world is rough.
So, how do you get worse than child-murdering Pokemon? Well, just like in many a terrible plot twist, the real monster is you. Say hello to Yamask:
The Pokemon Company
No, it's not scary because it has a massive prehensile penis. That's just a coincidence.
The story behind these poor bastards is that they're ancient spirits risen from the grave. The mask they carry resembles the human face they had long ago, and "Sometimes they look at it and cry." Sometimes they look at it and cry.
You're capturing the souls of dead people and forcing them to battle for you, all while they remember their long gone loved ones in between bouts of sobbing. You've trapped them in an existential nightmare. To them, you're the devil. But hey, at least they'll have child murderers to keep them company.

The Webelos Scout program, for boys who are in the fourth or fifth grade,
is filled with activities and outdoor fun. Everything in the Webelos Scout
program is more challenging than the things the younger boys in the pack do.
Webelos Scouts are still in Cub Scouting. They take part in Cub Scout pack
meetings, events, and outings. But the Webelos den also makes its own plans
and enjoys many activities that the younger Cub Scouts don't get to do.
Instead of working on achievements and electives as other boys in Cub
Scouting do, Webelos Scouts work on activity badges and the Arrow of Light
Award, which is a bridge to Boy Scouting. The Webelos Handbook has sections
that cover the 20 activity badges, divided into five groups:
The Webelos Handbook also tells about rank advancement and special awards
that Webelos Scouts can earn.

I bump into things a lot, I stutter, I'm not tall enough to scare anyone and I sweat so much that no business can actually insure me if I'm doing any work that involves regularly using my hands. As a result, I deal exclusively with words as my job, right here at Cracked.com. Words are literally the only thing I can be trusted with (and I'm not even grate with words all the thyme, if I'm being honest).
I've spent a lot of time around words, so I've learned which ones are terrible and should be removed from the dictionary entirely, but I've also found our collective vocabulary seriously lacking. Every once in a while, I see moments where I have to explain a situation in full sentences, because one word to represent that situation doesn't exist. And I hate using lots of words instead of one word, because I am a whirling, twirling, spinning, terrifying, motherfucking hurricane of efficiency.
I've collected a few words that I think will save me (and you!) a lot of time. Inventing words that should but don't exist is called neolexia, and I'm certainly not the first to come up with it.
But I'm probably the first to include the phrase "surprise boner." So there's that.
4Surprise Boner
By the time I made it to college, I thought I had a pretty good handle on what qualities I found attractive in a woman. I like my women like I like my coffee -- hot, just a little bit sweet, black (but I'm also fine if it's tan, or white [I often put too much milk into my coffee, but that's OK]), likes movies, tells funny jokes, watches too much television, appreciates my funny funny dances, is impressed with how fast I am and gets along well with my dog.
The perfect cup of coffee/... woman?
(I'm not great at metaphors.)
My point is that, by a certain age, I thought I knew the basic, superficial things that I found attractive in a person. "No more surprises in the attractiveness department" was a phrase I probably said out loud.
Then all of that changed. One night, I was on a double date with my buddy and some women that he knew from a place (I'm not great at remembering details). We went to the beach, because that's where poor people go when they want to be romantic. This particular beach had a bunch of large rocks, and because I wanted to impress my date (and because I'm crazy good at climbing and jumping), I spent some time climbing and subsequently jumping from rock to rock. In accordance with a clause in the tenuous laws that balance the universe, I'm not actually allowed to be impressive in front of women, so naturally I slipped off one of the rocks and sliced the ever-loving crap out of my hand.
"Nah, I'm fine, baby, I like it better this way. So, like what's your sign?"
I tried to walk it off like I was fine, as if bleeding was just one of the cool guy tricks I'd perfected after years of practice, and that everything would be OK if everyone would just promise not to look at me, but my date calmly washed the wound, and before I could say anything else, she ripped a long shred of cloth from the T-shirt I was wearing with her bare hands and made a makeshift tourniquet out of it. She wrapped it tight around my hand and, when I winced, said "Don't be a pussy."
And that's when I figured out Yes. That. I am also looking for that in a woman.
The first beat was "Wow, that was hot" and the second beat was "Really? I'm into that? Huh." That sort of thing happens all the time in life. You think you know what you're looking for, and then someone does something that makes you realize, for the first time, that you're extremely attracted to that particular thing. Previously, I had no idea that the kind of woman who could completely Rambo a shirt and then make fun of me was attractive to me, but after that night, obviously of course it was always true.
It's when something both surprises and arouses, and I'd like there to be a word for this.
Suggested Word(s)
I wanted to see if I could combine "wow" and "arousal," but I kept getting "awowsal," which, when read out loud, sounds like a baby is adorably trying to say "arousal," and I do not like that. I do not. So ...
Surprouse, surprousing, surprousal, surproused (portmanteau of "surprise" and "arouse")
"I thought I wanted a sweet, girl-next-door type, and then this chick at Taco Bell yelled at a cop and called him a fucking asshole. Totally surprousing moment. It turns out a lady who screams 'fucking asshole' is way better than a girl next door, for me."
3 Annoying, Speed-Related Car Thing
This is a slightly complicated concept to explain, so I'm going to use charts, like Christina does when she talks about shitty drivers.
You're that sexy blue car. You're waiting patiently, sexily, at a stop sign, waiting to make a left turn so you can be on time for the clubs, or the big game, or the town magic show, or wherever it is that sexy people go.
The red car is the other guy, and he's the only other guy moving on the road. Lights in either direction prevent other cars from moving, so it's just you two. You feel pretty good.
That red car isn't going very fast at all, certainly slower than you or any other normal driver would go. Unfortunately, Red's going just fast enough that it would be unsafe for you to try and get out onto the street. Which is fine.
Until you realize that, while he drives, the lights change, allowing plenty of other cars onto the road. And while he's going too fast for you to attempt your turn, he is traveling just slow enough for the newly released cars behind him, all of which are traveling at a normal speed, to catch up.
He's an almost impossibly perfect version of a frustrating driver. If he was going slower, you could safely make your turn before he reached you, and if he was going just an ass hair faster, you could make your turn after he passes you but before the long line of other cars catches up. But he's not. He is in that perfect nexus of too slow and too fast that forces you to wait for a big chunk of cars.
And I need a word for this, because I need something to scream out of my car window when I see it happening. When I get caught in this time-sucking trap, I usually just scream, "No, no, hurry! Or slow down! Change your speed in either direction and you will maximize the level of efficiency for the most amount of drivers involved right now!"
And that's obviously in the top five of the most clunky things one could shout whilst driving.
I'm not arguing for an insult we could yell at people like Red (I've found that "dickhead" is a pretty good fit); I'm saying we need to collectively come up with a word for this kind of behavior, then teach that word in Driver's Ed to make the road a more efficient place. Because if someone forgot to put their headlights on, I can flash my high beams (the unofficial shorthand for "Turn on your lights"), or if a cop is ahead, I can tap my brakes a few times to flash my brake lights for the drivers behind me (the unofficial shorthand for "Cops are ahead, stop keeping up with me because I am likely speeding"), or if someone isn't paying attention and is frozen in thought at a green light, I can honk my horn (the unofficial shorthand for "C'mon, you ass, I have a sexy magic show to get to"). All I want is a word (or some other kind of communicative car noise or car action, like flashing high beams) to make the drivers like Red up there aware of what they're doing.
Suggested Word(s)
Gloll (There's no etymology to this word. It just feels like an appropriate phonetic representation of the act of moving slow but not slow enough. Gloll, ya know?)
"Hey, buddy, you're really glolling up the road."
Let someone know he's glolling up the street by turning your hazards on and honking your horn. This won't communicate the problem, but it'll probably scare him enough to make him slow down. Use the opportunity to coolly pull out into the street, like the champion of driving that the universe willed you to be.

"It is high, it is far, it is gone"…
Hello, he's back…
I had been curious about how Jason Giambi felt about his impending return to the Bronx this weekend. I read an article in The Denver Post where Giambi talked about how special New York was and what it was like to play on the same field as DiMaggio, Gehrig, Ruth, Mantle and others. What he didn't know was the type of reaction that he would receive. The New York fans can be tough (obviously) but I really expected a warm reception for the Giambino. Unlike his departure from Oakland (the first time), he didn't leave New York at the prime of his career and while Oakland had wanted to re-sign Giambi, the Yankees had clearly moved on. So, his departure was really the team's decision and not his.
Howard Simmons/New York Daily News
Giambi had some difficult years in pinstripes and of course his stay will always be marred by the steroid admission. But he persevered and I felt that he played hard through the duration of the contract. I am thankful for the years that he gave New York and I certainly wish him the very best in the sunset days of his playing career.
I just wish that he wouldn't have homered off A.J. Burnett in Friday night's game. But I guess if you are going to throw a 2-0 meatball, I guess that Ozzie Smith could have hit a home run. Well, on second thought, Giambi's home run was not the reason the Yankees lost so maybe it was good for old times sake. "G" didn't get to play at the new Yankee Stadium so he deserved a chance to shine at the new grounds. He'll be back. After his playing days are over, it is a certainty that he'll get an invitation to future Old Timer's Days.
Joe Torre knew when to get out…
If there is one former Yankee that I want to succeed more than any other, it is Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. The entire Dodger situation with Frank McCourt's divorce, the team's financial struggles and the league's intervention just sickens me. It is hard to believe that the two teams struggling the most right now are in the nation's top two markets. The Dodgers franchise has been one of the top organizations throughout the history of baseball, and they deserve so much better than the current situation.
Ben Liebenberg/US Presswire
If the Dodgers resort to a fire sale next month, I am fearful of the adverse impact it will have on the perception of Mattingly as a manager. It would be hard for anyone to succeed under those conditions. I don't know that I'd want to see Mark Cuban as the next Dodgers owner, but I am hopeful that McCourt will sell the team to an owner or ownership group that would move quickly to restore the respect for the great franchise.
Stay Cash, stay…
I read Buster Olney's piece that Brian Cashman may walk after the end of the season. His contract expires this year and there will be no discussion of an extension until after the season. I can't imagine the Yankees without Cashman as the GM. I couldn't begin to fully understand the daily pressure the guy must be under, but I have to believe that working for Hank and Hal Steinbrenner is significantly better than what it must have been like under George Steinbrenner. If Cashman is looking for a break, I could see him walk away for a year or two. He'd certainly have his choice of opportunities when/if he decided to return. A new challenge or opportunity can be good, but it wouldn't be the Yankees. That's not an arrogant statement, but just a simple observation that the Yankees are the most storied and legendary team in baseball (sorry Dodgers!).
I could see the desire to build a winner without the perception that you have the most dollars to play with. But I hope that Cashman ultimately decides to stay in New York and continues his long run as one of the greatest GM's in Yankee history.
Enjoy the weekend!…
1 Comment
I've always thought that having a smart GM like Cashman gave the Yankees more of an advantage than their payroll. Yeah, he went out and signed Sabathia, Burnett, and Teixieira, but he also made some shrewd trades for Swisher and Granderson. I don't know how much he has to do with the farm system, but it seems to be thriving under his watch, despite the fact that the Yankees never get a high draft pick. I think I speak for the rest of the AL when I say I hope he decides to take a break😉

Number crunch
Assembly candidate's wife files suit against husband's opponent for allegedly publicizing her Social Security number
By André Coleman 11/01/2012
Candidates in the race for the state's first majority Asian-American Assembly district could end up in court after Tuesday's election, following the release of campaign mailers containing personal information, the Weekly has learned.
On Friday, lawyers for Joy Y.C. Lin, wife of candidate Dr. Matthew Lin, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against her husband's opponent, Edwin Chau, alleging invasion of privacy and negligence.
Lin, a Republican, and Chau, a Democrat, are squaring off for the seat in the 49th Assembly District, which includes Alhambra, East San Gabriel, El Monte, North El Monte, South El Monte, Glendora, Monterey Park, San Gabriel and San Marino.
According to the lawsuit, the Chau campaign sent out mailers on Oct. 18 to tens of thousands of people asserting the Lins had failed to pay state and county taxes. The documents revealed information about several tax liens against the family. All of the liens have been cleared, according to the lawsuit.
The mailer, which displayed an aerial photo of the Lin family's home, also included Joy Lin's Social Security number. She is seeking an unspecified amount in damages above $25,000 for emotional distress, impairment of reputation and standing in the community, as well as personal humiliation, mental anguish and suffering, according to the suit. The lawsuit also cites the potential for future damages in the form of identity theft.
"She was shocked," Lin campaign spokesperson Miryam Mora said of Joy Lin's reaction. "She has had to check all of her accounts to make sure none of them were compromised. She is not running for office, and her personal information is contained in ads on Youtube and on television."
Neither Chau nor his staff responded to requests for comment made to his campaign office and personal email address.
Lin led a field of three in the June 5 primary, capturing 52.2 percent of the vote to Chau's 34.9 percent. Mitchell Ing finished third.
Since Jan. 1, Lin has raised $893,000. Chau has raised $645,000, with $100,000 coming in the form of personal loans.

"The Knicks suffer one of their worst losses in franchise history by losing to the Boston Celtics 104-59 on a nationally televised game on the road. The Knicks fell behind by 50 at one point of the game. And had it not been for Nate Robinson's 3pt field goal in the final seconds of the game the Knicks would have had their lowest scoring game since the shot clock was invented."

Probably one of those most horrendous games that I've seen the Knicks play along with the 50 pt blow out that Dallas gave them a few seasons ago.
I normally don't like to post negative history regarding the Knicks but looking back at the Isiah Thomas era makes me appreciate today's Knicks team.

Released in the Fall of 1994, Blowout Comb effectively soundtracked the next six months of my life, turning me on to a whole new cast of heroes — namely Roy Ayers, but not limited to: Grant Green, Shuggie Otis, etc. If the group's debut, Reachin, led to my raiding and recontextualizing my father's jazz/soul collection at age 17, then Blowout only upped the ante two years later. Synthesizing and re-purposing the past few decades of soul, jazz and funk, the rabbit hole was blown wide open. Pun very much intended. In typical grand fashion, Light In The Attic Records reissued the LP on vinyl last month.
For those interested in the album's source material, here's something I picked up in a cardboard sleeve a few years back — DJ Jedi's mid '00s 70 minute compilation of samples, Blowout Breaks.

/ Conservation Showcase - Hoene
Loading Tree...
Jim Hoene stood in a large equipment shed on the Jefferson County property along the Big River that he has been farming for 30 years. Torrents of rain beating on the tin roof caused him to speak loudly to be heard above the roar. A few years earlier in a similar situation he might have expressed concern about getting his crops in, and keeping those already planted from washing away. But he wasn't worried this year.
"These are the days that we plan for," he said calmly.
More than 1,200 acres of the 1,400 acres that Hoene farms are in the floodplains of the Meramec River or Big River. Years ago he worked with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to install terraces to direct runoff into the Big River. That took care of the surface water, but seep water still kept the land wet. With the assistance of David Skaer, an NRCS soil scientist, Hoene was able to determine the paths of the subsurface water. He then installed 2 miles of 8-inch underground pipe that collects the water and deposits it into a wetland along the river.
"That tile has been running almost constantly," Hoene said. "It solved a problem that I had on 80 acres that had a hard time drying out."
A strong proponent of no-till farming, Hoene found that his water-management practices and his tillage practices were working together to improve the efficiency and productivity of his operation.
"Now we can no-till a lot more successfully because before we didn't have oxygen in our soil; all we had was water," he said. "But even as wet as this spring was, we were able to get all of our crops planted.
"In a year like this, I don't know what I would have done without no-till. We only had an 11-day window to get a crop in."
With surface water management, subsurface water management and no-till working together, Hoene's farming operation was rounding into shape. But there was still one more problem.
"We were losing a lot of the benefits of no-till because the river floods and washes the residue away," he said.
In an attempt to reduce that problem, Hoene signed up to participate in an NRCS program that provides incentives to establish cover crops.
The benefits of cover crops are that they keep residue from washing away, they provide soil surface cover in the winter, and they help remove excess water from the soil in the spring, said Rhonda Davault, NRCS District Conservationist.
In the first year of planting a cover crop of ryegrass, Hoene found that the benefits were even greater.
"The ryegrass not only held the soil and residue in place, but it also gathered sediment during floods," he said.
He added that the thick, deep roots of the ryegrass could benefit crops by loosening the soil.
"We've never given the underground climate the attention it deserves. Everybody's looking at what's going on up top," Hoene said.
"Jim is one of the first farmers in Jefferson County to try cover crops," said LeAnn Schmidt, an NRCS soil conservationist who has provided technical assistance to Hoene relative to conservation measures. She said that Hoene is receiving financial assistance through NRCS' Environmental Quality Incentives Program to try cover crops and also for nutrient and pest management efforts. The initial results show that the ryegrass, which has thicker and deeper roots than wheat, could help promote crop root growth, Schmidt said.
Hoene said he has thought about trying cover crops, but the NRCS program gave him the incentive to try it on his farm.
"It's kind of like when you are a kid on the edge of a diving board and your friend pushes you off. NRCS pushed me off," Hoene said. "With the help of NRCS, I've learned how to establish cover crops and see the benefits."

1) What is the difference between a crow and a raven? (from FAQs about Ravens)
Crows and ravens, although in the same genus (Corvus) are different birds. (Think of leopards and tigers; both are in the genus Panthera, and are obviously related, but they are quite distinct animals.) The words "crow" and "raven" themselves have little or no real taxonomic meaning. That is, the Australian "ravens" are more closely related to the Australian "crows" than they are to the Common Raven (Corvus corax). In general, the biggest black species, usually with shaggy throat feathers, are called ravens and the smaller species are considered crows.
Common Ravens can be told from American Crows by a couple of things. The size difference, which is huge, is only useful with something else around to compare them with. Ravens are as big as Red-tailed Hawks, and crows are, well, crow sized. The wedge-shaped tail of the raven is a good character, if you can see it well. Crows sometimes show an apparent wedge shape to the tail, but almost never when it is fanned as the bird soars or banks (except for a brief time during molt in the summer).
More subtle characters include: ravens soar more than crows. If you see a "crow" soaring for more than a few seconds, check it a second time. Crows never do the somersault in flight that Common Ravens often do. Ravens are longer necked in flight than crows. The larger bill of the raven can be seen in flight, but it is actually less apparent than the long neck. Raven wings are shaped differently than are crow wings, with longer primaries ("fingers") with more slotting between them. As my neighbor said, "Ravens are the ones whose wings you can see through." The longer primaries make the wings look more bent at the wrist than a crow as the bird flies, and the "hand" portion can look nearly pointed.
If seen perched in a good look, the huge bill and shaggy throat of a raven are diagnostic. The upper and lower edges of the bill are parallel for most of their length (3/4?) in ravens, while in crows the downward curve starts somewhere around 2/3 of the way out for males, and about halfway for females.
But remember, ravens are pretty uncommon around here [Ithaca, NY]. If you see a "really big crow!", chances are good that it really is a crow. Yes, there are large crows and small ones, but you couldn't ever tell which was which. Any difference in size (380g - 660g is the weight range around here; 800 - 950 mm wingspan) among individuals is not detectable, in that the range of appearance of a single crow (by fluffing or sleeking its feathers) is greater.
American Crows make the familiar "caw-caw," but also have a large repertoire of rattles, clicks, and even clear bell-like notes. However, they never give anything resembling the most common calls of Common Ravens. The most familiar call of a raven is a deep, reverberating croaking or "gronk-gronk." Only occasionally will a raven make a call similar to a crow's "caw" but even then it is so deep as to be fairly easily distinguished from a real crow. Ravens also make a huge variety of different notes. It has been said (attributed to native Americans) that if you hear something in the forest that you cannot identify (assuming you know all the common forest sounds), it is a raven.

The right place for a used motor oil re-refinery: Peachtree City
Oil. Black gold. Gold can be melted and reshaped again and again. Oil, too, has the potential to be re-refined again and again. But that's not what usually happens.
Oil. Black gold. Gold can be melted and reshaped again and again. Oil, too, has the potential to be re-refined again and again. But that's not what usually happens.
What will make this plant different from other oil re-refineries like the Evergreen Oil plant in Newark CA which caught fire and has subjected town residents to foul odors and air pollution for decades? I am using that as just the first example that popped up after a quick google search.
After the mess at Photocircuits I am glad that business is moving here, but sad that it's something that has the potential to turn into an environmental problem. All the problems from the PSC plant, were the jobs created there worth it?
PTC has the dubious honor of having the most EPA registered sources of potential toxic and hazardous waste in the Fayette/Coweta area (quick reference to that is at usa.com under the Fayette County GA environmental watch map)
I hope this one will be different, and hope that my house ends up being upwind of the place if it isn't. Maybe there can be another article at some point that tells us how this will be different (and better?) from the hydro-treatment style plants, that would be nice to see.
Peachtree City may be on the starting block of a trend. They can be proud of the fact that with the rising price of a barrel of crude, oil that would have been destined to be burned or used once as an asphalt extender will be re-refined and put back on the market.
Oil does not get used up it just get's contaminated. The more oil that is recycled the right way the less Foreign oil dependent the US is. I was the Project Manager for the cleanup at PhotoCircuits and yes it was a difficult situation getting approval from their Corporate offices for Environmental work but it was done. All newer instillation's like Universal Oil has to have an Environmental bond that covers a closure. PhotoCircuits did not.. The State, County nor the City never required one.
Additionally accidents do happen we all can google fires at Walmart.. doesn't make Walmart a fire hazard however.
This will be a state of the art facility and although no plan is perfect I suspect this one will be close.
My thanks goes out to Universal Oil for looking forward to the future.
"Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel."
-Ayn Rand
This "article" reads like a company brochure written to sell the idea.
What studies have been done to determine potential environmental hazards? What are the potential risks? Is the process likely to produce fumes or odors that affect quality of life in the surrounding area? And did anyone ask homeowners just across 74 what they think?
Universal Oil has been at that location for years with 4 10,000 gal stock tanks and 5 5000 gallon feed tanks. Trucks carrying 3500 gal each enter and leave daily.The Re-Refinery works on Fractal Distillation and will use the feed tanks already on-site.
Additionally the distillation process produces no discernible odors or fumes. It is a closed loop system. The dangers involved are no more or less then those that have existed for years at that same location.
"Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel."
-Ayn Rand
when the source is "The Citizen" and not a staff member you know you're going to be reading somebody's PR. check out Ellie White- Stevens, She's a contract marketing person. This piece probably should have been in the advertising section.
here is a little more objective look at the re-refinery business from a town in Alabama. Enjoy.
"Tens of millions of barrels of lubricant cycle through vehicle engines around the world each year—U.S. drivers alone produce about 1.3 billion gallons of dirty used motor oil annually. Too much of it—the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates 200 million gallons (757,082 liters)—is dumped illegally each year. Some is "recycled,†but with dubious environmental benefit; it typically ends up burned as a rather dirty industrial fuel source."

Man up!
This week has seen the fashionista pack flocking to London to celebrate menswear. Now in it's fourth season, London Collections: Men is the brainchild of the British Fashion Council, which quickly appreciated that British menswear, especially with its heritage and style, is way ahead of the game in both design and creativity.
Take, for example, the bowler hat, brogues, the dandy, the floral shirt and tie, the great riding coat, the three-piece suit, the trench coat, tweed and tartan, Wellington boots - the list goes on. All these iconic styles were born in Britain and have become mainstays of international menswear.
And the 2014 range does not disappoint, showcasing emerging talent and Savile Row tailors at their best. The catwalks were awash with innovative designs with a nod to the continued growth and success of the menswear sector. Gieves & Hawkes, Tom Ford, Burberry, John Smedley, and Hackett all continue to wow with wearable clothes and on some occasions (if not often) affordable too.
Give your man a makeover with a few trend-led tweaks that will add a refreshing zing to the umpteen white and pale blue shirts and jeans that make up the majority of his wardrobe. Here are some of my suggestions for adding a touch of modern style to his collection.

At its March meeting this past week, the State Board of
Education adopted and forwarded to the Governor and Illinois General Assembly a
Preliminary Comprehensive Strategic Plan for
Elementary and Secondary Education. This effort, while being the
right thing to do, is also in response to Public Act 93-1036 (previously SB
3000) which created the new educational governance structure we now have in
The Plan focuses on three broad goal areas: Enhancing Literacy, Improving Educator Quality for All Children and Expanding Data-Informed School Management and Support Practices. Within these goal areas, specific objectives address a variety of topics—each objective also directly relates to those topic areas set forth in PA 93-1036.
The planning process is underway, but far from complete.
A final version of the Plan must be submitted by September 2005. In the
meantime, the Agency will hold hearings around the state to assist staff in
building implementation plans to accomplish these goals. The Plan will also
receive ongoing review and evaluation to ensure that it remains a meaningful
instrument to provide direction for education initiatives across
The goals and objectives are listed below and the entire Plan is available at our website at http://www.isbe.net/pdf/strategic_plan_2005.pdf.
Enhancing Literacy
Goal Summary
Foster increased literacy by providing support for effective instruction and broad approaches to impact all students.
Strategic Objectives
Improving Educator Quality for All Children
Goal Summary
Expand and improve the pool of highly qualified educators by supporting the preparation, recruitment and retention of educators with expertise both in content areas and child development.
Strategic Objectives
Goal Summary
Support the utilization of data to assist school districts in providing more effective operational practices, opportunities to pool shared services and flexibility in balancing their budgets to increase educational outcomes.
Strategic Objectives
Have a great week!

Invitation to comment on rules
At its February meeting, the State Board of Education released nine sets of proposed rules for public comment. The last eight of these items have now been posted on the agency's website at www.isbe.net/rules choose "Proposed Rules and Amendments." Please submit any comments or suggestions you may have to email@example.com
Deadline for Public Comment:
Part 1 (Public Schools Evaluation, Recognition and Supervision)
It has become apparent that, in at least one instance, access to a public early childhood education program has been denied to a child because of the child's immigration status. The Governor's Office and the State Board of Education were asked to intervene on behalf of the child's family and ISBE has been directed to take action to prohibit denials of access such as this.
Free public education is guaranteed regardless of immigration status under the U.S. Supreme Court's 1982 decision in Plyler v. Doe. The present amendment to Part 1 will make this protection explicit in the rules of the State Board of Education.
Part 25
This set of amendments includes miscellaneous changes that are opportune at this time.
Section 25.11(f) is being revised with respect to the definition of "four years of teaching experience" so that an individual who is approaching the end of the fourth year and who is expected to complete that year in his or her current position will be able to apply for the standard certificate.
The slight revision in each of Sections 25.22, 25.32, 25.42 and 25.82 is technical in nature. Section 25.725 was recently repealed and its currently needed content was subsumed in Section 25.720, so these references need to be updated.
The addition of a new subsection (m) to Section 25.100 will create another exception to the general model for adding endorsements in the case of "technology specialist". Since Section 25.100 was added last year, staff have found it very difficult to determine which coursework should be counted toward a major area of concentration relevant to this endorsement. Terminology in this area varies widely and it seems the more prudent course of action to require passage of the content-area test based on the applicable standards so as to ensure that candidates are prepared to perform the functions encompassed within the technology specialist's area. Thus we are proposing that there be only one option available for adding this endorsement (passage of the test in conjunction with completion of 24 semester hours of coursework).
Section 25.115 is being revised to clarify that the "programs" under discussion in these rules are only those that prepare individuals for certification.
Section 25.125(d) discusses the review team that is involved in the on-site accreditation review. The requirement for ISBE team members and an ISBE co-chair on visits involving NCATE accreditation is being deleted. At the same time, the role of the ISBE consultant is being clarified, i.e., this individual does participate in the visit.
The procedure outlined in Section 25.160 has proven to
contain one unnecessary step that will be eliminated in this rulemaking. When
the State Teacher
The requirement that each candidate for a school
psychologist's credential have completed a program accredited by the National
Association of School Psychologists (Section 25.235(a)) was widely applauded
during last year's rulemaking on this subject but has since proven to create an
untenable situation. This rule precludes the establishment of any new approved
school psychology programs in
We have determined that the long-standing rule on lapsed certificates (Section 25.450) is unnecessarily stringent in terms of the timeframe within which individuals serving on reinstated certificates must complete the statutorily required five semester hours of college credit. The proposed revision would allow semester hours earned either during the certification year of reinstatement or during the five immediately preceding years to be counted for this purpose.
Part 51 (Dismissal of Tenured Teachers)
Part 52 (Dismissal of Tenured Teachers and Civil Service Employees Under Article 34)
The procedures for the dismissal of tenured teachers in
school districts outside of the City of
Where required by the School Code, distinctions have
been made within the rules to accommodate differences between the processes for
the City of
Under the new version of the rules, hearing officers for
hearings involving the City of
The proposed amendments to Part 51 are accompanied by the repeal of Part 52 in its entirety.
Part 145 (Temporary Relocation Expenses)
As a result of the general review of these rules, it has been determined that the process for repaying loan funds to the State Board can be simplified. Instead of requiring that districts submit to ISBE the proceeds of tax levies related to these expenses within 30 days after the proceeds are received, we believe it will be sufficient for each affected district to make one payment annually, consisting of all proceeds received to that point.
It is not necessary for the State Board to receive the entire total for a given calendar year at the end of that year. Therefore, to accommodate later receipts it seems a reasonable solution to move the collection date into the early part of the subsequent year and to provide explicitly that amounts not received by the annual payment date can be held by the affected districts until the next annual payment is due. In this way it will be clear that there is no penalty for a district whose levy proceeds arrive too late to be included in the relevant annual payment.
Part 155 (Electronic Transfer of Funds)
These proposed changes represent the results of the general review of this set of rules. In addition to general technical updating, the revisions include elimination of the option for certain participants to designate multiple bank accounts for the receipt of electronically transmitted funds. We have not found that many entities have used this option, perhaps because it entails time-consuming maintenance not only on ISBE's part but also on the part of payees.
Part 475 (Contested Cases and Other Formal Hearings)
Part 480 (Hearings Before the State Teacher
Part 475 is being generally updated and also revised to
incorporate a number of provisions that are currently found Part 480 (Hearings
Before the State Teacher
Part 475 will now require evidentiary hearings that are
under the jurisdiction of the
Others of the amendments change timeframes for notices and responses in order to give the parties more time to prepare their material. Finally, the language of the rules is generally being brought into conformance with the requirements of the IAPA and current rulemaking style. The proposed amendments to Part 475 are accompanied by the proposed repeal of Part 480.
Notice of completed rulemaking
Please be advised that a rulemaking item recently adopted by the State Board of Education is now in effect. This set of rules has been posted on the agency's web site at www.isbe.net/rules
choose "Rules Currently in Effect" and scroll to the relevant Part number. (If you print only the affected Sections, remember to include the table of contents for the Part, which changes every time the Part is amended.)
Access to information of the State Board of Education under the Freedom of Information Act (Part 5001)
Several of ISBE's Freedom of Information Act rules were repeated verbatim from the text of the Act or are otherwise adequately addressed by statute. These sections were determined to be unnecessary and have been deleted. The procedures for providing public records and the procedures for providing access to materials incorporated by reference in administrative rules were consolidated into one Subpart. While the amendments have streamlined ISBE's FOIA rules, they do not represent a substantive change in ISBE's FOIA procedures.
Affected Sections: 5001.100, 5001.110, 5001.210, 5001.300, 5001.310, 5001.400, 5001.410, 5001.500, 5001.510, 5001.520 and 5001.600
