Play on words
Original words came into play (for some) in the form of country music on Sunday, as Mr. Willy's (what—no website? Find 'em on Facebook!) hosted the kickoff of the "Brad Paisley Virtual Reality Food Drive" benefiting the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless. The event, sponsored by Thunder 102.1 FM, (www.thunder102.com) and spearheaded by Paisley, featured contestants vying for a top spot in the Texaco Country Showdown, "the nations largest and longest-running talent competition" (www.countryshowdown.com ).
Eyes on the prize ($100,000!), 19-year-old Monticello cowgirl Anna Rose joined duo "Lucky House" (Joe Dibiscegle and Dianne Weber), 13-year-old (just call me) Kaylah, 12-year-old Mikki Zip (from Syracuse, NY), 14-year-old Jennifer Grace and winner-take-all, Mongaup Valley's Cathy Paty, who will move on in the competition, now one step closer to fulfilling her dream. The panel of judges—Iron Cowboy's "Big" John Davis, Bethel Woods marketing manager Gabrielle Scott, Nashville recording artists Marcum Stewart and Andrea Villareal ("Acklen Park") joined local celebrity Dharma the wonder-dog (and me) in the tough task of grading the performers abilities, broken down into various categories.
Paty, who serves as the V.P. of the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce, was moved to tears and thrilled that her daughter, Lila Claire, was in the house, cheering her on. The evening was capped by a performance from duo Acklen Park (mobbed for autographs after the show) and 2011 Thunder 102 Texaco Country Showdown winner Jason Casterlin, whose career is clearly on the rise. Food pantry drop-off points are scattered throughout the county and more information on this worthy endeavor can be found by calling the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless at 845/794-2604. Once again, the generosity of spirit in the Upper Delaware Valley leaves me at (gasp!) a loss for words. Let's all cowboy up and participate!

By David Irvin: Freedom Newspapers
The second of three men charged in the January 2004 killing of Carlos Murillo of Clovis pleaded guilty Monday to voluntary manslaughter.
Including a one-year firearm enhancement filed by the state, Santiago Calbert, 20, of Clovis faces a maximum of seven years in prison, prosecutors said. Sentencing is scheduled for April.
Prosecutors have maintained Calbert, Eric Duran, 27, and Christopher Meier, 21, were involved in killing Murillo during a vehicle chase.
Duran received a 15-year sentence last month when he pleaded guilty to accessory to second-degree murder.
Ninth Judicial District Attorney Matthew Chandler said although the prosecution believes Calbert and Meier were the shooters, he allowed Calbert to plead to a lesser charge than Duran because he may have had a "provocation defense." He added that Duran was more culpable because he orchestrated the shootings, even though he didn't pull the trigger.
Prosecutors also said the three men may have been provoked by shots fired at them first.
"We have the duty to look at the law, look at the facts and join the two," Chandler said. "The prosecution team developed the theory that there would have been a 'sufficient provocation defense' by the defendant."
Murillo's wife said Monday the sentence for Calbert doesn't seem just.
"When they made the decision to do this, they didn't just kill one person, they killed the lives of an entire family," said Eleisa Loera-Murillo. "It could have been a possibility that they were provoked, but the sentence that they are getting is not near what they deserve."
Prosecutors maintain that Duran gave guns to Calbert and Meier and ordered them to shoot.
"Evidence would show that Santiago Calbert, when he started out that evening, didn't know he would have a gun put in his hand," Chandler said.
Loera-Murillo said the theory that Duran coerced Calbert and Meier into firing on Murillo doesn't add up.
"I don't think anybody can be coerced into doing something like that out of fear," she said. "I think the whole justice system in general needs to be reviewed because the sentences don't make sense."
Attempts to reach Calbert's lawyer and family Monday evening were unsuccessful.
Meier faces the same charges as Calbert for his part in the shooting, Chandler said. There is no plea agreement in place for Meier yet, but a court date is scheduled for April.

I have a preemie and am pumping to bottle feed or tube feed him at this point. He's a 34 weeker now four weeks old. We practice bf, but our main goal is for him to gain weight right now.
My supply is really low. I can only pump about 30 ml per session total. My right breast gives me twice what the left puts out and the left breast doesn't really get started until about 3 minutes after the right. I massage my breast during pumping and I hand express after to try and empty them.
I'm trying very hard to pump every 3 hours, but I hit a wall and became completely exhausted with my preemie. For the past three or four days, I've missed a few pumps and have gone without pumpuing for 5 or 6 hours a few times because I've slept through them. Once I think I went 7 hours.
I've tried fenugreek, tea and drops. My dr. just prescribed some meds to help.
Have I permanently jeopardized my already low supply by going without pumping so many times? How long does it take for your supply to disappear?
After I pump, when would i have milk again for my baby? If I pump and he happens to wake a half hour or so later, will I have milk for him?
How can I tell if my breasts are empty? All I can feel right now is a tingling sensation in my nipples every three hours or so. I can sort of tell they're full, but I can't tell when they're empty.
How long should i pump? Right now, I'm doing 15-20 minutes but if I can squeeze out a few more drops I'll work at it for another 5 or 10. Is it supposed to take this long?? Can I damage my milk ducts by over massaging or expressing?
Should I power pump just the left breast? Is my left breast abnormal? Should I not worry about it?
If I refrigerate my milk and then use some of it, can I re-refrigerate the rest for later? or, if my preemie doesn't take the full bottle of breast milk, can I refrigerate it for later? If I warm up my breast milk in the bottle how long can it sit out and be used?
Thanks for all your help!!

Hills are alive with sound of fracking
ADAMS TOWNSHIP – A well-appointed, bright sunroom might be the perfect place to read a book, have a cup of tea or just relax and enjoy the breeze.
In Debbie Misel's sunroom, the view is far from a day at the beach.
From Misel's sunroom at 1190 Dixon Ridge Road northeast of Lowell, she can monitor progress on the Colorado-based PDC Energy horizontal fracking operation, the first in Washington County. She's done just that.
"We were in Florida when the dozers came in to move dirt for weeks on end," she said Tuesday while displaying her photo album of the transformation from farm and pastures to full-fledged drilling operation. She even has about 70 photos on her computer she hasn't printed yet.
She said he makes a point of looking down the hill at the looming tower, wondering what is the purpose of the train whistle that goes off periodically. She even cannot believe seashells can be found at the bottom of the fracturing well, some 5,700 feet down.
"I don't understand the geology," Misel said.
Misel and her neighbors along Dixie Ridge Road do not seem to be bothered by extra traffic, dust and noise because they haven't experienced such problems.
Just down the road, Tom Morrison, 66, of 970 Dixon Ridge Road, has lived on the property for 30 years. Morrison also has worked on drilling and still has some operating wells.
"You can't hardly hear it," Morrison said of the noise from the well. "They did a lot of work to keep the dust down."
PDC repaired that 3-mile section of road by making it flatter, smoother and free of most of the dust.
Because of Morrison's experience, he said he has seen loads of 4 1/2-inch pipe being trucked in, an indication the project is nearing its final steps.
Misel said PDC reported that process of cement and pipe would take about a week. However, the process continues after 3 1/2 weeks.
"If you run the air conditioner, you don't notice (the occasion grindy noise)" Misel said. "I'm tickeled for them. I hope it does its thing."
Morrison said because the operation is powered by electricity, it doesn't produce the noise traditional oil wells produced.
Betsy Cook, with the Southeastern Ohio Fracking Interest Group, said the group has been keeping an eye on the operation.
The group is made up of local residents who monitor the health, environmental and safety effects of hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
"I don't think they are far enough along to think about noise or how much water they are using," Cook said. "It looks like the company is trying to work with the neighbors. I hope we can all work on this together and do it safely and protect the environment."
She said several test wells are being drilled to see if our area has good potential. For example, she said, Triad has permits for two Monroe County wells and one Washington County.
No one from PDC could be reached for comment.

Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth -- the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.
If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon. Some dentists and oral surgeons recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren't causing problems, as a preventive measure against potential future problems.
Problems with impacted wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last permanent teeth to appear (erupt) in the mouth. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people never develop wisdom teeth. For others, wisdom teeth erupt normally — just as their other molars did — and cause no problems.
Many people, however, develop impacted wisdom teeth — teeth that don't have enough room to erupt into the mouth or grow normally. Impacted wisdom teeth may erupt only partially or not at all.
An impacted wisdom tooth may:
- Grow at an angle toward the next tooth (second molar)
- Grow at an angle toward the back of the mouth
- Grow at a right angle to the other teeth, as if the wisdom tooth is "lying down" within the jawbone
- Grow straight up or down like other teeth but stay trapped within the jawbone
You'll likely need your impacted wisdom tooth pulled if it results in problems such as:
- Pain
- Infection
- Damage to an adjacent tooth
- Development of a fluid-filled sac (cyst) around the wisdom tooth
- Damage to surrounding bone
- Complications with orthodontic treatments to straighten other teeth
Preventing future dental problems
Dental specialists disagree about the value of extracting impacted wisdom teeth that aren't causing problems (asymptomatic).
Here's the rationale for preventive treatment:
- It's difficult to predict future problems with impacted wisdom teeth.
- Symptom-free wisdom teeth could still harbor disease.
- Having your wisdom teeth makes you vulnerable to gum disease and tooth cavities.
- Removing impacted teeth lowers the risk of potential problems.
- Serious complications rarely happen in younger adults.
- Older adults may experience difficulty with surgery and complications after surgery.
Other specialists argue that there isn't enough evidence to suggest that impacted wisdom teeth not causing problems in young adults will later cause problems. Therefore, they suggest that the expense and risks of the procedure don't justify the expected benefit.

Step 2: An admissions counselor will contact you within 48-72 hours with information regarding our online assessment tests.
Step 3: Your student's admissions counselor will draft a personalized class schedule based on his/her entrance assessment exam results and official transcripts.
Step 4: Financial Check-In: Parent/student complete Financial Check-In.
Step 5: Upon receipt of your tuition payment, your student's academic advisor will provide you with access to the online curriculum developed specifically for your student.
Teaching Style
Students have three main avenues of support while enrolled in LUOA: Academic Advisor, Teachers, and Subject Specialists. Parents are encouraged to take an active role in their child's education and develop the parent/teacher/student relationship as in a traditional classroom.
Upon enrollment, students are assigned a grade specific Academic Advisor. Families can contact their Academic Advisor by phone or email with questions about computer problems, record keeping, class schedule, transcripts, etc.
Academy teachers are professionals who are licensed in their state, licensed by ACSI, or hold an advanced degree in their subject area. The teacher assesses student work and is responsible for the day-to-day academic well-being of each student. Teachers can be contacted through the messaging system within the curriculum, but are not available by phone. Parents and students can access grades anytime via the online grade book.
Subject Specialists are individuals who are available by phone for students who need help understanding course material.
After completing the lessons — which are presented in text and video format — students complete problems, assignments and tests electronically. Parents and students have instant access to grades and can quickly gain feedback regarding the student's progress.
Each day LUOA teachers grade written work, such as essays and projects, and communicate grades and any comments to parents and students. Due dates and past due notices help students adhere to their weekly lesson plan.
The Online Timeline
A school year consists of two 90-day semesters, each spanning five months. A full-time student should complete the 180-day school year in 10 months.
The curriculum is divided into 10 units per course. Each unit typically requires three to four weeks to complete depending on unit length, student ability, daily scheduling and grade level. Students may move at a faster pace but are strongly advised not to rush through the curriculum.
Statement of policy on nondiscrimination
No student shall be denied enrollment, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefit of, or subjected to discrimination in any program or activity, on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin or ethnic group.

Earl R. AlexanderMay 11,2013
Earl R. Alexander
Earl R. Alexander
CEDARVILLE/ILION, N.Y. Earl R. Alexander, 75, passed away in Ticonderoga, N.Y., on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, after suffering a long illness. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by his devoted daughter, Debra, and the loving staff of Inter Lakes Health Center Patriot Unit.
Earl was born in Rutland, Vt., the son of Earl M. and Amelia (Ciccarelli) Alexander. He was born at home on June 12, 1937, and was one of several children. His brothers, Cleo, Arthur, Bernard and Robert, are all still in the Rutland area. His sister, Marie Graham, is also in Rutland. He also has a sister, Dorothy Luleck, of Swanton, Vt.
He joined the U.S. Army at a young age, was sent overseas and served our country well. He was honorably discharged in July of 1962. Earl married Dorothy Fontaine in November 1959. They had five children, Earl Jr., Debbie, Tina, Tammie and Daniel. Although they later divorced, they remained friends for the rest of his life. He met and married Marie Taylor in October 1971. His in-laws were a wonderful blessing in his life.
Earl worked as a foundry worker and a truck driver in Rutland, Vt. He then worked at Remington Gun Co. until his retirement.
He enjoyed many cookouts, weddings and gambling at the Turning Stone Casino, and had many stories to tell. He became an amazing volunteer and cooked many charity dinners. He was often seen cooking turkeys in the kitchen for Catholic Charities. He often gave Marie a hand delivering Meals on Wheels. His dear wife, Marie, passed away on July 16, 2006. Earls heart was broken.
His favorite pastime, however, was working at the Joseph Berberich Hose Company in Cedarville. He was a part of the Fire/Police Division. He did this for the better part of 30 years and considered the men there his family. He also recognized the sacrifice of all the women who supported the guys. At the annual banquets, he made sure they all had flowers as a small token of their hard work, as well. He would say, Putting up with smelly men who left at all times of the day and night, coming home with the worst of the worst dirty clothes. His volunteerism was rewarded when he won Senior Citizen of the Year for Herkimer County in 2005. He also was awarded the Presidents Volunteer Service Award in 2006.
Earl is survived by many family members, in-laws and dear friends, especially Mark Nelson, who has been and continues to be a tremendous support to Debra. He will be deeply missed.
Relatives and friends are invited to pay their respects on Monday, May 13, 2013, from 3 until 5 p.m. at Enea Family Funeral Home, 4309 Acme Road, Ilion (town of Frankfort), 315-894-8000. His funeral will follow at 5 p.m., conducted by pastor Rick Waite, at the funeral home. We will then proceed to the gazebo at the Herkimer Diamond Mines, Middleville, N.Y., where full military honors will be accorded. Interment will take place at Cedarville Cemetery at a date to be announced, at which time his firehouse family will carry him to his final resting place, next to his beloved Marie.
Earls family has suggested that those wishing may make a donation in his memory to his much-loved Cedarville Fire Department, 960 State Route 51, Ilion, NY 13357.
Kevin E. Enea, funeral director, Enea Family Funeral Home, 4309 Acme Road, Ilion (town of Frankfort) is serving the family. To add to Earls online memorials, please visit our website at www.eneafamily.com.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

Supporting SyriaJanuary 07,2013The civil war in Syria, which took its inspiration from similar and seemingly successful Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, has deteriorated into a conflict in which it appears all parties stand to lose, including innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
The latest United Nations estimate puts the death toll at 60,000, and theres no end in sight to the bloody conflict. In fact, judging by his one-hour speech Sunday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad apparently doesnt recognize the ugly reality facing him and his deeply divided nation.
For almost two years, Syria has been coming apart at the seams and yet Sunday Assad referred to the rebels as murderous criminals carrying out a foreign plot. He said he is ready to hold a dialogue, but he made it clear he would do so only with those who have not betrayed Syria. What is not clear is who he would engage in such a dialogue if he rules out those who seek his removal from office.
Speaking at the Opera House in central Damascus, the embattled president told his supporters that we are in a state of war we are fighting an external aggression that is more dangerous than any others, because they use us to kill each other. He appears to take no responsibility for the brutal attacks that have cost so many civilian lives, even though they were carried out by government troops.
Assad called for a national reconciliation conference, elections and even a new constitution, but he also demanded that regional and western countries stop funding and arming the rebels who are determined to depose him. His tone was that of a confident leader, but the content of his speech suggested hes either deliberately or unwittingly underestimating the scale of the problems he and his supporters generally Alawite Muslims, the branch of Islam to which Assad belongs are facing.
Meanwhile, there are reports that an opposition group has developed a plan for a transitional justice system that would impose harsh penalties against Assads inner circle but offer amnesty to most of his supporters.
The groups objective is to establish a legal structure that would assure worried Alawites that this need not be a fight to the death and that they will still have a role to play in a post-Assad Syria. The plan envisions establishing the rule of law in those areas that have been liberated in order to thwart a growing trend toward a system that features Afghan-style warlords and revenge killings.
As described by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, the plan was developed by the Syrian Support Group, an organization that supports moderate elements within the Free Syrian Army and that is being assisted by international lawyers. The idea, Ignatius wrote, is similar to the truth and reconciliation process that was helpful in resolving similar conflicts in South Africa, Rwanda and even Northern Ireland.
It sends a strong positive signal to the people of Syria that victory for the rebels is inevitable and that the new government will deliver justice, compensate victims and be compassionate towards all, a memo prepared by a London firm advising the Syrian Support Group explained.
Western nations offer the rebels encouragement and call on Assad to resign, but they dare not supply weapons for fear theyll fall into the hands of opportunistic anti-West terrorists who are believed to have joined the rebel forces.
The best hope appears to be the Syrian Support Groups approach. Lets hope Washington lends its support.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Oakridge Country Club
Garland, Texas
July 26 - 29, 2004
Hines emerges as the Girls Division leader with matching 3-over-par 74s
GARLAND, Texas- The sky was gloomy and the rain clouds were threatening, but Anthony Broussard turned up the Texas heat with another on-fire round of 3-under-par 68, taking the lead in the Boys Division in the second round of the I.R.I. Golf Group Oakridge Junior at Oakridge Country Club. Caney Hines snuck up from behind and grabbed a one-stroke lead over Glory Yang with a second round total of 3-over-par 74.
The I.R.I. Golf Group Oakridge Junior is a 54-hole stroke play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association. The event features 99 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-18, from 11 states. The field is composed of 70 âLone Star Stateâ residents.
Broussard, 18, of Beaumont, Texas, found his consistency to be fantastic. With a pair of 68s, he ended the second round with a two-day total of 6-under-par 136.
âItâs really exciting to emerge as the leader,â he said. âI played hard today, so it was well-deserved.â
Broussard found success in the second round with four birdies he made on Nos. 1, 9, 10 and 13, one bogey and no three-putts. He aimed to make par on each hole and let the birdies fall.
âTo stay ahead in the final round, I need to keep giving myself opportunities to make birdie,â he said. âIf I hit a bad shot, I need to recover with nothing more than a bogey.â
Behind Broussard are Jeff Howard of Plano, Texas, at 137, Nick Williams of New Braunfels, Texas, and Sang Yi of Carrollton, Texas, at 140, and Austin Schauer of Spring, Texas, at 141.
Hines, 18, of San Antonio, Texas, came into the scoring tent with a big smile. She said that she had a rough start, but the turning point for her round came when she birdied Nos. 6, 7 and 8. Hines finished the second round with a two-day total of 6-over-par 148.
âI had three doubles on the front nine and I thought they were going to make my round slide downhill,â she said. âLuckily, the five birdies made up for the doubles.â
The competition will be tough in the final round, but Hines already has a strategy in place.
âIâm going to work on my driver,â she said. âI need to be more deliberate with every shot. Every shot is going to count with it being so tight at the top. Iâm going to try to stay calm so I wonât let anything get away from me. If I think Iâm good to go, itâll bite me.â
Behind Hines are Glory Yang of Murrieta, Calif., at 149, and Wonjoo Choi of Murrieta, Calif., Raelyn Smith of Odessa, Texas, and Jane Rah of Torrance, Calif., at 152.
Final-round tee times will run from 7:30 a.m. â 12:18 p.m., Thursday at Oakridge Country Club.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch U.S.A., a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became an AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
For more information on the I.R.I. Golf Group Oakridge Junior, contact tournament headquarters at (972) 530-8004.
The Foundation

1. i get some cash (few cents for every click) that will help me to pay some costs of the site
2. the google bot will visit the site everyday, this will help the site to be better indexed, and more easily to be found which will most likely bring more visitors and, why not, more posters.
I was considering of running these ads for about 2 months and see how things will work.
The ads will be placed somewhere on the forums in a way that won't disturb you and on the site, probably on the left blue bar.
lets do it, the more users, the better! i want this site to get as much publicity as it can, considering its one of the best looking, best ran ive been on in a while
This would be a good idea. We could get more members to join this site. I think this would be great for the site.
sounds nice, so do it.
ok, banner ads have been added. you can see them at the bottom of the forum, and on the left blue bar of every page of the site.
the best part is that google is searching for ads strictly related to the content of the page, so 95% of the ads will be knicks related.
ps: you can click on them with confidence
how much money do u get per click
my friend had the same thing and i think he got a penny per 2 clicks.. i think
hmm.. i think not all clicks have the same value, for example, on january 26, the first day, i had 6 click which made $0.13, and on march 1st i had another 6 clicks but they made $0.63.Originally Posted by pbjb14
anyway, the total clicks from jan 26th and untill today, gathered in knicksonline's piggy bank the large sum of $1.42
not bad i should just click them for the hell of it
i guess it's better than nothing..
OK, now i don't know if what happened is because of the adsense, but some major improvements happened with this site and google:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
KnicksOnline.com is back in google, in pretty good positions
Nice!! this site is the second on basically every google search, behing only nba.com/knicks.. Also, I like the new set-up with the posting.. how one post is a darker grey, from the post surrounding, it makes it that easier to read, and also a very nice touch, thanks rady
Yah the site is becoming more and more popular. More members will start to join and we will soon (if not already) become the greatest Knick fan site out there.
One day I just sat for about a minute and just kept clicking the ads. I will click the ads a lot now to make this site some money.
"One Team, One New York"
sadly, i think i have a filter on my computer that stops the site from showing the ads, however when im at school, or not home i click them whenever i get the chance..
you don't have to click like crazy on the ads, one per day is fine, and i think google is counting only one click / day on each pc
btw, i'm getting very close of $6

7 Bad Foods That Are Actually Good for You
A well-balanced meal at the start of the day is a key part of any stay-slim plan. Research shows that breakfast eaters typically consume about 100 fewer calories during the course of the day and weigh less than those who forgo food in the morning.
This strategy works in the long run, too. Nearly 80% of participants in the National Weight Control Registry, which charts dieters who have kept off 30 pounds for a year or longer, have breakfast every day. An extra perk of eating a nutrient-dense morning meal: It supplies glucose to your brain to help you think clearly and function optimally until lunchtime.
To speed up weight loss, consider doubling — if not tripling — your intake of fruits and vegetables every day. Less than 2% of Americans eat the recommended nine daily servings, which is a major missed opportunity for shedding weight. Produce is made up mostly of water, so it's low in calories — meaning you can eat a lot without putting on pounds — and high in fiber, which helps curb hunger. Bonus: Numerous studies have shown that fruits and veggies are also great disease fighters.
8 Foods That Beat Bloating

I've been dealing with a milk blister on my left breast for about 2 months now. My daughter is 3m old and the first month we had no issues. Slowly the blister has grown in size even though I have "popped" it with a needle and also switched nursing positions (was football and now doing cradle). Her latch seems just fine so I don't know why the blister is staying, and continuing to grow. My milk supply in that breast has dropped quite a bit and she now is very frustrated nursing on that side and will pull off after only a minute. Tonight I tried pumping that side while she nursed on the other. Only about 1/4 teaspoon came out and after about 15 minutes of pumping I took the pump off and my nipple was HUGE and extremely hard. I couldn't even squeeze it to try and hand express any milk. It took over an hour to return to it's regular size. I really don't want to give up on that breast but I've only had issues over the past 2 months with it. I've also had clogged milk ducts on and off (usually happening every 10 days or so) the entire time as well. I never had any issues with that breast while nursing my first child so this is all new to me.
Can anyone give me suggestions or know why my nipple got all engorged?

Board split over replacement member
CHARLES TOWN – The empty blue chair between Gary Kable and Mariland Lee was not filled even after Jefferson County Board of Education members met in special session Friday afternoon to discuss a successor for Pete Dougherty.
Thanks to a split vote by board members, no decision will be made until at least the next regular board meeting April 8.
While Kable and Lee supported former BOE member Larry Togans, Scott Sudduth and Mark Osbourn favored another former board member, Alan Sturm.
Kable said Togans had been both a board member and president, adding that he would be able to "hit the ground running and be an asset to the educational system."
Lee said Togans would offer a "fresh perspective" as the board faces a tight budget. She also said he would have no personal agenda other than doing what is best for taxpayers and citizens.
While the current situation being faced by BOE members is unique, Sudduth also said it is an "issue that really belongs to the voters – not the board."
Sudduth said he would have preferred that criteria were established to encourage community members to apply to fill the remainder of this unexpired term.
Adding that he'd "heard many great things" about Togans, Sudduth said he had never met or heard from him despite having been one of three individuals – including Sturm and Laurie Ogden – who had expressed interest in this appointment.
Osbourn cited Sturm's more recent experience, noting that it had been less than one year since he left the board to spend more time with grandchildren.
Both he and Sudduth agreed Sturm is well known in the community, including his days as an educator.
In the end, however, the discussion did not resolve the deadlock.
Time is of the essence, since state law mandates that a replacement be named within 45 days and that deadline is April 13, according to Kable. Dougherty resigned March 5 when he left to fill the remainder of former sheriff Robert "Bobby" Shirley's term.
Several audience members, who came to support Togans' nomination, expressed some regret that he had not yet captured the appointment.
The Rev. Donald F. Taylor Sr., accompanied by other Jefferson County Black Clergy members, said he had hoped there would be an opportunity for the public to address the nominations.
"But really, I thought it should have been quite an open and closed thing for Mr. Togans," Taylor said.
Gary Dugan said he felt Ogden would be a "good, compromise candidate" since she had shown an interest in the position and had also run for the board in the last two elections.
"She only lost to Scott (Sudduth) by less than 100 votes in 2010 and to Gary (Kable) by less than 400 votes in the last election," Dugan said.
Speaking after the meeting, Kable said the board had not formally asked the public for nominations or input on the selection process. Since the agenda item will be under old business at the next meeting, that will allow public participation prior to a possible decision, he said.
It is also still possible for citizens to contact board members directly to suggest a nominee or express their support for a specific individual, Kable said.
Sudduth, who had questioned the selection process during the meeting discussion, said he isn't sure if a citizen will be allowed to nominate an appointee at the upcoming meeting.
He also said nominees were not solicited, but couldn't say why.
"That's probably a question for the president, since he is driving this. I think that if we can't come to consensus on a candidate, then there should be a process for the community to drive some input. And we also need to make clear to the community what the criteria are," Sudduth said following the meeting.

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

Construction and Operation of a Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride Conversion Facility at the Portsmouth, Ohio, Site
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes, via a contract awarded at the direction of Congress (Public Law 107-206), to design, construct, and operate two conversion facilities for converting depleted uranium hexafluoride (commonly referred to as DUF6): one at Portsmouth, Ohio, and one at Paducah, Kentucky. DOE intends to use the proposed facilities to convert its inventory of DUF6 to a more stable chemical form suitable for beneficial use or disposal. This site-specific EIS analyzes the construction, operation, maintenance, and decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of the proposed DUF6 conversion facility at three alternative locations within the Portsmouth site; transportation of all cylinders (DUF6, enriched, and empty) currently stored at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) near Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to Portsmouth; construction of a new cylinder storage yard at Portsmouth (if required) for ETTP cylinders; transportation of depleted uranium conversion products and waste materials to a disposal facility; transportation and sale of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) produced as a conversion co-product; and neutralization of HF to calcium fluoride (CaF2) and its sale or disposal in the event that the HF product is not sold. This EIS also considers a no action alternative that assumes continued storage of DUF6 at the Portsmouth and ETTP sites.

Egypt court: Brotherhood members planned jailbreakAP PHOTO
Protesters chant slogans against Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi at a court 86 miles from Cairo, Egypt, Sunday. An Egyptian court on Sunday said Muslim Brotherhood members conspired with Hamas, Hezbollah and local militants to storm a prison in 2011 and free 34 Brotherhood leaders, including Morsi.
CAIRO An Egyptian court said Sunday that Muslim Brotherhood members conspired with Hamas, Hezbollah and local militants to storm a prison in 2011 and free 34 Brotherhood leaders, including the future President Mohammed Morsi.
The court statement read by judge Khaled Mahgoub named two members of Morsis Muslim Brotherhood among the alleged conspirators in the attack on Wadi el-Natroun prison on Jan. 29, 2011.
It is the first statement by a court holding members of the three Islamist groups responsible for jailbreaks during the chaos of Egypts 2011 uprising. Two other prisons where Palestinian Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah members were held were also attacked.
Morsi and other Brotherhood leaders have maintained that they were freed by local residents. Hamas, the Palestinian chapter of the Brotherhood, has denied involvement in the attacks on prisons.
The Freedom and Justice party, the political arm of the Brotherhood, said Sundays statement was void and illegal. It posted on its Twitter account that Mahgoub will end like any other judge who did not respect the law or the constitution.
Still, the court statement is likely to further fuel opposition to Morsis rule just a week before his opponents plan mass protests to try to force him out of office. The June 30 demonstrations would mark the anniversary of his taking office in 2012 as Egypts first freely elected leader.
The past year has seen growing polarization as Egypt struggles with a host of problems that many accuse Morsi of failing to effectively tackle. They include surging crime, rising prices, power cuts, fuel shortages and unemployment.
Pressure on Morsi grew on Sunday when Wael Ghonim, the best known youth figure of the 2011 revolution, asked Morsi to step down. In a video message posted on the Internet on Sunday, Ghonim accused Morsi of reneging on promises he made ahead of his 2012 election.
The president, he said, must act like a patriotic Egyptian and resign to prevent strife.
Many Egyptians have been alarmed by statements from Morsi supporters vowing to smash the protesters. Several hard-line Islamists have declared the protesters infidels whose killing is justified.
Morsis supporters say his opponents should try to remove him through the ballot box, and attempting to force him out is an attack on electoral legitimacy.
Also Sunday, a member of a radical Islamist group appointed by Morsi as governor of the ancient city of Luxor resigned in the face of daily protests outside his office.
Adel el-Khayat is a member of the Construction and Development party, the political arm of the Gamaa Islamiya, which waged an armed insurgency against the state starting in 1992 and attacked police, Coptic Christians and tourists.
In November 1997, gunmen from the group attacked tourists at Luxors 3,400-year-old Hatshepsut Temple, killing 58. More than 1,200 people died in the campaign of violence by the group, which later renounced violence, and another militant organization, Islamic Jihad.
I discussed with my brothers from the Construction and Development party, and we agreed that I should present my resignation as Luxors governor because we dont want bloodshed, he said in a statement. We cannot accept the shedding of even one drop of blood for a position that we never wanted.
Morsi has not spoken publicly about his escape from Wadi el-Natroun since he gave an account of what happened in a frantic phone call he made to Al-Jazeera Mubasher TV moments after being freed.
From the noises we heard ... It seemed to us there were (prisoners) attempting to get out of their cells and break out into the prison yard and the prison authorities were trying to regain control and fired tear gas, Morsi said in the call.
The prison breaks took place during the 18-day popular uprising that toppled the 29-year regime of autocrat Hosni Mubarak. The breaks led to a flood of some 23,000 criminals onto the streets, fueling a crime wave that continues to this day.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

• Contact your insurance agent or broker immediately. Make sure you get the proper forms to file a claim.
• Document: Take photos of all the damage before you do any sort of clean-up or renovations and take notes of dates, times, etc.
• If you hire a contractor to do the work, get a few quotes and keep these for references.
• Keep track of ALL expenses with receipts and notes of explanations. These will come in handy when you need to make proof these expenses.

Leahy, Sanders dismayed by CIA probeBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | March 12,2014MONTPELIER Vermonts two U.S. senators said Tuesday they are deeply concerned about allegations the CIA searched computers used by the Senate Intelligence Committee in an investigation into the spy agencys conduct during the Bush administration.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the committee chairwoman, made the allegations and accused the CIA on Tuesday of criminal actions in a speech on the Senate floor. The speech made public what had been a private dispute between the committee and the agency.
According to The Associated Press, the CIA provided computers to the committee in a secure location that were used by senior Senate staffers with appropriate security clearances. The computers contained more than 6 million pages of documents for review.
The committee is finalizing a report on the CIAs detention and interrogation program that began in 2004 under then-President George W. Bush and was ended by executive order signed by President Barack Obama in January 2009. The report is reviewing the interrogation practices used by the CIA.
Feinstein, in her floor speech, said the agency searched the computer network used by the committee in January. The search may have violated an agreement with the committee concerning monitoring use of the computers, according to the AP.
Feinstein said she has sought answers from CIA Director John Brennan, penning two letters to him in January about the basis and legality of the search. Brennan has not responded, Feinstein said.
The CIA may be in violation of the separation of powers laid out in the Constitution, Feinstein said, and is standing in the way of proper congressional oversight.
The matter has been referred to the Department of Justice by the CIAs inspector general.
The CIA, meanwhile, has referred a criminal case to Justice in response, according to Feinstein. Committee staff removed a document from the secure location provided by the CIA and to a secure Senate facility. Feinstein, according to the AP, said the criminal referral was meant to intimidate staff.
In his own floor speech, Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy urged his colleagues to take the matter seriously and seek accountability.
We are supposed to be the conscience of the nation, Leahy said. The senator from California, Sen. Feinstein, has spoken to our conscience, to every one of us, 100 senators, men and women, both parties. She has spoken to our conscience. Now, lets stand up for this country. Lets stand up as United States senators should and as the senator from California has.
In a telephone interview Tuesday, Leahy said he discussed the issue with Feinstein for about an hour Sunday. Leahy said the CIA has broken the law if the allegations are true.
If it was done the way Sen. Feinstein said, yes, it is a violation, he said. I have no reason not to believe what she has said.
Leahy said he is most interested on finding out the extent of the CIAs interrogation program and preventing abuses from happening again.
I think the CIA is very concerned about what happened a few years back involving torture, and probably defensive about that, he said.
But at the same time, if we dont bring out what happened, it almost guarantees that it will happen again, Leahy said. Usually if the stakes arent acknowledged and revealed, its been my experience that theyre repeated.
Sen. Bernard Sanders, who was not available Tuesday, is also concerned, according to his office. A spokesman said the latest revelation about the CIA is another sign that our intelligence community is out of control and that there must be greater oversight by Congress.
The spokesman said Sanders, an independent, believes the intelligence community works for Congress and for the American people and must be accountable to them. Feinsteins allegations indicate this is clearly not the case today.

text: There's a rumor circulating around twitter and the blogosphere about Eminem dying in a car crash today. It's getting so much attention that it's one of the most searched phrases today. So, in a manner of speaking out, we have to put in our two cents. Also, we have heard the rumor and got real excited that karma actually works. But, the truth is we never address Eminem here because we don't like prejudice and bigotry. So, if he is really deceased now this would be one of the few cases where we don't mourn. He advocated the killing of a women. He promotes violence against women, gays and lesbians. He hates everyone, including black women, and then brands himself a pioneer in rap. He is just an all-around nasty person. Even if he slams some great rap, how can one like the content if it is that hateful?

Bunch of people on the summit oblivious to the fact that we hiked up from the very bottom. Left the summit at 11:20, and descended via the meridian Ridge Fire Road and connected with the Back Canyon creek trail and returned to the trailhead at 1:20. about 12 miles, was intense!

|Came here on a blustery rainy afternoon, but had a flat on the road up, so I changed the tire and descended to a tire shop to get a new one anyway, which put me off a couple hours. Came back late in the afternoon as the rainclouds came on. They said I could drive partway up, but the road was closed for the last mile or so, so I hiked a trail to the top. Turned out to be a great way to go. I had the summit entirely to myself (how many can say that for Diablo?), and it was kindof cool to be hiking the trails in cold misty dusk conditions. By the time I was back to my truck and descended off the mountain, it was dark.

- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Family Fun
Shredded barbecue chicken is a huge hit with my kids. The sweet, tangy barbecue sauce really draws them in, and the tender, shredded texture makes it super easy for my 1-year-old to eat. Now, I'm not going to lie, you could just as easily pour a bottle of premade barbecue sauce and throw some chicken in a crock pot and call it a day, but I personally love the flavor of this recipe's sauce.
Slow Cooker Shredded BBQ Chicken
2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (I use 3-4 chicken breasts)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic salt
4 kaiser rolls
4 dill pickle spears
[1] Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown chicken, turning once, 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and place in a slow cooker. (If I'm in a huge rush in the morning, I just skip this step and throw 3-4 frozen chicken breasts straight in the slow cooker.)
[2] In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, pepper and garlic salt. Pour over chicken.
[3] Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and cook for 6 to 7 hours. Remove chicken from cooker, shred, and return shredded chicken to sauce. Serve chicken mounded on rolls and topped with pickles.
Now. Let's talk kale chips. Have you tried kale chips in your household? I'm telling you - these light and crispy chips taste like potato chips, but they are SO GOOD for you. Packed full of beta carotene and Vitamins C and K, you'll be surprised how much kids like them (if you don't eat them all first).
Crispy Kale Chips
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
[1] Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
[2] Carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
[3] Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
I know some of you think I'm crazy in regards to the kale chips, but trust me, you need to try it! The only little downfall is that, well, kale makes your kitchen smell like a stale fart while cooking. (Hey! Just being honest here!)
Have you tried kale chips before? What are some of your sneaky side dishes and snacks?
