DeKalb Feeds acquired the existing Frytown, IA mill facility in September, 1996, which included its trucks, employees, and field staff, as well as its customers. DeKalb closed its Onslow, IA mill at that time and transferred its production to the Frytown facility. However, even with this additional production, it has never been fully utilized. Thus, the formation of CNS is a creative and proactive solution for DeKalb to better utilize their capacity and for both companies (JBS United and DeKalb) to meet their customers' needs more efficiently.
Webel stated, "By combining the production needs of both DeKalb and JBS United, this mill can be operated more efficiently and cost-effectively", Keaschall added, "The Frytown facility also offers tremendous flexibility to produce a variety of feeds very economically, which will help us expand on the current list of customers we serve." This facility also includes a very large warehouse space and a lot of office space, which will easily allow the company to grow and accommodate more production. The mill's central location is also expected to allow JBS United to react to customer needs more effectively and efficiently.
Through the combined depth of knowledge in livestock production and producer services provided by JBS United and DeKalb Feeds, Central Nutrition Services will be able to supply more consistent, reliable and on-time feeding solutions for all species of commercial livestock animals.
As part of Central Nutrition Services' commitment to excellent service and customer profitability, the company has voluntarily adopted the Safe Feed / Safe Food standard. Safe Feed / Safe Food certification is a nationally recognized quality standard created by the American Feed Industry Association which establishes comprehensive measures of excellence that go beyond existing regulations to maximize feed and food safety.
About JBS United
Since its founding in 1956, JBS United has been dedicated to providing research-based solutions to enhance animal nutrition and livestock production profitability. The company provides various products and services to dairy, swine, cattle, poultry and other animal producers worldwide. For more information, visit the JBS United website at www.JBSunited.com.

Smith is most famously linked to Pocahontas, the daughter of the chief of the Powhatans, who he said shielded him from execution by her father. However, many historians have questioned Smith's story, seeing it as either an exaggeration or a misunderstanding on the explorer's part. Smith, who was the leader of the Virginia Colony between September 1608 and August 1609, led explorations along the rivers of Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay and was key in supporting the English colonization of the New World.

There are a lot of important parts to a good golf swing.
It's close, but just ahead of a good grip, is balance. Without balance, a good grip won't help you too much.
As important as balance is, it's even easier to practice. You don't even need a golf ball.
Simply head to the backyard, or before you take the course next, and make some practice swings. Then, on your follow-through, hold it for three or four seconds.
This drill works best when you make an aggressive swing with a hybrid or an intermediate club.
Hold the follow-through and you'll start to develop the feel and control you have with your feet. If you can't hold the follow-through, make some adjustments with your feet and your swing until you can hold it.

Porsche has dropped the covers off its ultimate naturally aspirated 911 – the GT3 RS 4.0. Set to be the grand finale of the current 911 series, codenamed 997 this street-legal track racer will likely be the final special edition before an all-new model is unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.
Limited to just 600 vehicles, there is some serious racing pedigree underpinning the GT3 RS 4.0 with the new model's boxer engine using a crankshaft lifted straight from the 911 GT3 RSR racing car and the forged pistons' connecting rods fashioned from titanium. It will be available exclusively with a six-speed sports manual gearbox.
The four-litre displacement sports engine, the biggest 911 model line engine ever, is also the most powerful naturally aspirated engine ever built by Porsche. Maximum power is now 368 kW (500
hp) at 8,250 rpm, that's 92 kW of power per litre. Maximum torque is 460 Nm at 5,750 rpm.
The 911 GT3 RS 4.0 will offer some stunning performance with a recorded lap time of 7m 27s for the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. That's 1.7 seconds faster than the Carrera GT and 6 seconds faster than the GT3 RS. So it's a very serious machine.
In as straight line the GT3 RS 4.0 will sprint to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and its racing-inspired gearing takes it to 200 km/h in under 12 seconds. Continue reading "Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 revealed – two coming to NZ" »

What is in this article?:
- Global Harvest Initiative: aiming to feed nine billion
- FTAs and policy papers
- Funding research
- Global Harvest Initiative looks for best solutions to feed rising world population.
- To feed world in 2050, current rates of food production need to be doubled.
Forty years from now there will be nine billion people walking this planet. To provide proper nutrition for them, farmers will need to double the current rate of production.
Anticipation of such a burgeoning world population – along with the need to find solutions to ensure an adequate food supply -- drove the 2009 founding of the Global Harvest Initiative (GHI) by Archer Daniels Midland, John Deere, Dupont/Pioneer, and Monsanto. "Consultative partners" of the initiative include Conservation International, International Conservation Caucus Foundation, TransFarm Africa Corridors Network, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund and the Congressional Hunger Center.
GHI has released five policy papers on how various segments of agriculture can address the increasing food needs. Those segments include research, science-based technologies, private sector involvement, development assistance programs and trade.
Recently, Delta Farm Press spoke with Bill Lesher, GHI Executive Director, about the effort. Among his comments:
An overview of GHI…
"Our focus is on sustainably increasing the rate of global agricultural productivity growth to address food security.
"In simple terms, we look at the world and the challenges facing growing enough agricultural output over the next 40 years and have great concerns. That's because we must double output in a way that is sustainable. In other words, there isn't that much more land and water and other inputs that can be used. So, we must increase the rate of agricultural productivity growth.
"That's what we're about. We're saying 'the world faces a serious challenge of meeting (food) needs so people don't starve.' But there are a number of ways to help avoid this and improve food security worldwide."
On specific measures…
"We must increase the rate of productivity growth – what we call 'the productivity gap.' (Towards that goal), we have outlined some measures in (five) white papers that we think will help achieve the necessary increases in productivity growth.
"One of those is research. We feel agricultural research is really underfunded. North American farmers, and those elsewhere, can meet the challenges but they must have some love and attention -- research (provides a good part of that).
"Another (main goal involves) trade. The United States produces enough food, and produces it more efficiently than most other places in the world. We have a competitive advantage. But to solve the world's problems, we need freer trade.
"Another (goal involves) new technologies. We can't meet these demands without embracing new technologies. That means you must have regulatory systems that are certainly based on science. But they must have enough resources to approve new technologies in a timely manner.
"Also, if we're to help folks around the globe who aren't nearly as productive as they can be – for example, in Africa – we must streamline, and make more effective, our agriculture development programs to help small stakeholders produce more.
"Lastly, we must have more private sector involvement in this global food security space. The simple fact is that there is not enough money combined in the treasuries of develop and developing countries to meet global food security challenges in a sustainable way.
"Bottom line: we feel that modern production agriculture, such as we have in the United States, can have a big part to play in meeting the challenges of food security and meet them in a sustainable way."

The Power of Positivity
Yanks Lose Heartbreaker to O's 4-3
I'm blogging from school, and I'm kind of upset. I'm not particularly upset that the Yankees lost to the Orioles. I'm just upset that they lost. The Orioles are as hot a team as anybody lately. I think I jinxed the Yankees and their winning streak, because since I mentioned it, they have lost 2 in a row. And that bothers me. But I must try to remain positive. The season has less than a month left, and we are still in first. It's just hard to accept a loss when the team shouldn't have lost. I'm not taking anything away from the Orioles, but I think Joe Girardi let this game get away from my Yanks.
Pitching Analysis: A.J. Burnett toed the rubber for the Yanks yesterday in search of another solid outing. In all honesty, I expected to see the Bad A.J. yesterday. But he wasn't that bad…in fact, he was pretty solid. 7 innings, 4 runs, 7 hits, that's not too bad at all. What I liked about A.J. yesterday was that he didn't let the game get away from him. He prevented the Oriole offense from exploding, allowing just 1 run at a time. But this proved to be fatal for A.J….and once again, I just don't understand Joe Girardi.
Let's flashback to Friday's game: Ivan Nova, the cute new rookie sensation, was pitching an okay game. He wasn't that great. But in the 5th inning, just 1 out away from a win, Girardi gave Nova the hook. The Yankees went on to win the game.
Then on Sunday, it was Javier Vazquez. He was scuffling along. And in the 5th inning, Girardi took him out, and he didn't get the win. But that was okay, because the team did.
Fast-forward again to yesterday's game: A.J. Burnett has been struggling, and finally he was having himself a solid start. But he kept letting the lead slip away. In the bottom of the 6th, the Yankees had just tied up the game at 3. A.J. started off the 7th by walking the leadoff man.
Aw, A.J….don't be so down….turn that frown upside down🙂
Okay, hold on. Isn't that right there enough of a RED FLAG to make Girardi make the hook? I don't get it. He didn't. And the inning got away from A.J. He wound up allowing that fatal 4th run, when that didn't have to be. Girardi wanted to end Nova's outing on a positive note, so he took him out before things got out of hand. Same with Javy. He didn't let him lose.
Why, then, would he leave A.J., whose confidence is as unstable as anything, in the game? ESPECIALLY after he walked the leadoff man?
I don't know. It's just another Joe Girardi blunder.
Offensive Analysis: I have to give credit to that cutie southpaw Mr. Brian Matusz on the Orioles. He really pitched a good game. The Yankees barely could make a scratch in his armor. He was rock solid.
Alex Rodriguez made history with his solo homer in the 4th, becoming the only player in the history of the game to have 100 RBI in 14 seasons in a row. My oh my.
Nice to have you back😉
A-Rod had another RBI in the 6th with a sac fly, and Robbie Cano drove in a run. But that was it. Offensively, it was a pretty boring game.
I'm annoyed that the Yankees couldn't find a way to win. Thankfully, the Red Sox beat up on the Rays, so the Rays didn't gain any ground. With the Red Sox sitting so far behind in the standings, I can actually root for them when they play the Rays! Thank you, Red Sox.
The Somebody Needs a Hug goes to….of course, A.J. Burnett. A.J., I'm proud of you even though you lost. You didn't unravel. That's a good sign, and something to build on. I just wish Joe Girardi took you out. Now you feel like the loss is your fault, but it's not. You should be positive. I will, too.
It can get you a long way.

Don't worry about it. It could be worse. I jinxed my team out of the playoffs all together. At least you'll be there.
Buck Showalter has that O's team pretty much on edge since he took over the team. There is maybe only one guy (Matt Weiters) who might be safe from the carnage that could boot a large number of players from the Orioles system.
Considering they have played with more zeal and energy since Showalter took over is no wonder. You would too if your financial livelihood was threatened with unemployment.
They are just a team that you have to limit your mistakes against, or they will flatten you like a pancake.
Not an noverly aggressive team, just one that puts their foot on your neck and pushes down…hard.
Rays Renegade
You're blogging from school? LOL. Hope the teachers aren't looking – or that they're Yankee fans. I don't blame Girardi or A.J. for yesterday. Three or four runs should have been enough for the offense to overcome, but they couldn't do it against Matusz or the bullpen. They had chances but just couldn't score.

Laurier grad takes top honour in Canada-wide accounting exam
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 29/06| For Immediate Release
Dr. Bill Banks
WATERLOO Jennifer Hayton, a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier Universitys School of Business and Economics, received the highest marks in the country on the Canadian chartered accountants qualifying exam. Hayton won both the gold medal for Ontario and the Governor Generals gold medal for the highest standing in Canada for the 2006 Uniform Evaluation (UFE).
Hayton graduated from Laurier with a bachelor of business administration (BBA) in 2005, and is currently articling with KPMG in Waterloo.
Its an achievement just to pass this exam, explained Hayton. But it is an honour to do well among the other candidates who are of such high calibre. Citing the support of her co-workers and family she has a husband and three-year-old daughter who provided distraction when I needed it as key factors in her success, Hayton also recognized the importance of her academic and professional training. My education at Laurier provided me with a good foundation of technical knowledge, and KPMG led me through the whole process, she said.
"We are delighted to see Jennifer receive this well-deserved honour," said Laurier dean of business and economics, Ginny Dybenko. "She is an outstanding student and a dedicated scholar who stood out even above the 2,136 very talented chartered accountant students from across Canada. This success demonstrates the quality of our students and supports my belief that Laurier business graduates rank with the very best in the world."
Hayton represents the fourth Laurier graduate to receive the Canadian gold medal standing since 1993. Were very proud of our graduates, said Bill Banks, area coordinator for accounting at the Laurier School of Business and Economics. It reflects well on Lauriers business school that our grads have achieved gold more than those of any other Canadian university. Weve also received the Ontario gold medal six times since 1993, which puts us at the top of all the Ontario universities.
Lauriers former gold medal winners have all pursued successful careers: Paul Van Bakel, honours BA '92, is now the chief financial officer at DALSA; Dennis Kavelman, honours BBA '93, is the chief financial officer at RIM and Sarah Hadley, Honours BBA '01, is the manager of corporate taxation at RIM.
Written once a year, the UFE is an internationally recognized test that qualifies chartered accountants to practice public accounting.
With more than 3,000 students enrolled in its programs and approximately 100 full-time faculty members on campuses in Toronto and Waterloo, the Laurier school of business and economics is one of Canadas largest and most innovative business schools.

Resembling looming rain clouds on a stormy day, dark lanes of dust crisscross the giant elliptical galaxy Centaurus A.
Hubble's panchromatic vision, stretching from ultraviolet through near-infrared wavelengths, reveals the vibrant glow of young, blue star clusters and a glimpse into regions normally obscured by the dust.
The warped shape of Centaurus A's disk of gas and dust is evidence for a past collision and merger with another galaxy. The resulting shockwaves cause hydrogen gas clouds to compress, triggering a firestorm of new star formation. These are visible in the red patches in this Hubble close-up.
At a distance of just over 11 million light-years, Centaurus A contains the closest active galactic nucleus to Earth. The center is home for a supermassive black hole that ejects jets of high-speed gas into space, but neither the supermassive black hole or the jets are visible in this image.
This image was taken in July 2010 with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3.

For Further Information:
March 16, 2000
In 2003, Illinois will join 43 other states in requiring cross-categorical certification for special education teachers to prepare them to address the multiple needs of students with learning, behavior, mental and physical disabilities, the State Board of Education decided Thursday.
Moving to a cross-categorical framework will require colleges and universities to realign their teacher training programs to intensely train special education teachers in strategies and skills for students with disabilities. A number of the state's top producers of special education teachers told the State Board that their programs have been moving in that direction for several years, and that they welcome this challenge.
"The new framework is based on the needs of students," State Superintendent of Education Glenn W. McGee explained. "Classroom experiences have shown that most special education students can not be labeled with a single category. In the great majority of cases, they have multiple needs that now require teachers with different certifications to teach them. With the intensity of training that will be required under the new system, one teacher will be able to provide the multiple strategies needed to help these students succeed."
Illinois would maintain categorical certification for teachers of students who are deaf/hard of hearing, blind/visually impaired or have speech and language impairments. Early Childhood Special Education would also be a new designation and the current bilingual specialization would be maintained and available for all types of special education certificates.
For nearly two years, the State Board has been working with representatives of the special education community – parents, teachers, administrators, higher education and special interest organizations – to review teacher certification and evaluation in the state. In arriving at these recommendations, State Board staff reviewed findings of a task force, comments from six public hearings and the recommendations of four specific groups and numerous individuals.
The framework would establish the following two cross-categorical special education certificates:
Learning and Behavior Specialist I (LBS I) - Meets rigorous standards for serving needs of students with learning, behavior/emotional, mental and/or physical disabilities at the elementary, middle and high school levels. This certificate would be earned through a standards-based, highly focused preparation program designed to ensure that candidates have the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the multiple and unique needs of students with these disabilities.
Learning and Behavior Specialist II (LBS II) - This certificate is an optional advanced designation for LBS I teacher that represents their enhanced knowledge and skills as teaching specialists. This advanced certificate would be earned through additional in-depth training in teaching strategies and specialization in learning, mental or behavioral needs of students. LBS II certificates would be optional for teachers and could be endorsed for more than one specialization area.
The plan would not change the services provided to students in special education. Those are now, and would continue to be, set by the Individualized Education Program of each student, that is established with parental involvement. Teacher training programs would have to ensure that future special education teachers are prepared with the variety of skills needed to meet the multiple needs of students with disabilities.
Present teachers, as well as those in teacher training at this time, would not be affected.
The framework approved by the State Board Thursday will be presented to the federal judge who found in the Corey H. case that special education students in Chicago were not receiving the services required by federal laws.
The framework is scheduled to go into effect for teacher candidates beginning their training after January 1, 2003. The requirements for the LBS I and LBS II will be defined more specifically through the rulemaking process in consultation with the State Teacher Certification Board, the Illinois State Advisory Council on the Education of Children with Disabilities, parents, educators, legislators and other interested parties.

October 23, 2013 —
YOUNGSVILLE, NY — Domesticities will open a new show featuring six artists, including some not before seen in the area. The opening reception is Saturday, October 26 from 4 to 6 p.m. The show will run through Sunday, November 24.
The six artists wind their way through the exploration of texture, light and color with fabric playing an integral part in the process. Fabric kites and wall hangings by Wilfredo Aponte emphasize color and shape.
Jane Blake's paintings on silk explode with color. Lisa Marie Hermanson's cross-stitch pieces suggest movement and light. Buff McAllister pieces fabric together, creating texture and contrast in her pieces.
Helena Pittman was inspired to work in fabric by the rags she used when painting. Leslie Shaw Zadoian uses many materials in her work including fabric and thread to produce texture, suggest movement and through their transformation (and a little magic) sense the unseen.
Domesticities is located at 4055 Rte. 52. For more information, call 845/482-3333 or email firstname.lastname@example.com [1]. To preview the show, visit www.thecuttinggarden.org/events.html [2].

Good deal. One less thing to worry about. Does the fruit help with constipation? He's been 'pooping rocks' ever since we've been doing the baby led solids.... I always nurse him before solids and he has a 'snack' session afterwards too, I was hoping that would be enough to keep things moving...
Juice isn't a requirement. I've heard fruits that start with "P" help with "P"ooping. Pears, prunes, peaches, etc. I don't know how true this is, but that's what I've heard...

All three, all natural!
The way I see it, juice is totally unnecessary, especially if you're offering fruits. More info here: http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/so...aby-juice.html
I feed my 9mo yogurt everyday and this really helps with the constipation.
Good luck.
bananas can cause constipation, so probably best to avoid those for now.

Julie of Whittier,CA has posted a World Breastfeeding Week Release Challenge! You can see it here: http://bookcrossing.com/forum/23/3714144/1
Not familiar with Bookcrossing? It is a place where you can register a book you have read, get an ID number for that book, and then leave the book somewhere for someone else to find. It is very fun and very addictive, especially if you like books. Julie has created a *Release Challenge" where Bookcrossing members challenge other bookcrossers to release books on a particular theme during a particular timeframe.
Please join her in seeing how many breastfeeding books can get released into the "wild"! If you would like to participate, simply gather some great breastfeeding books (they can be used!), register them on bookcrossing.com, and then release them. Remember to post your release!
How many books do you think we could possibly release for WBW???

It's awesome. Way better than Nifelvind. The use off jazzy brass gives it a weird feeling, but it stays far from Trollfest-territory. Blodsvept is more focused, more direct and more powerful. Every song has a major hook that makes it instantly recognisable. It's the same Finntroll, yet slightly different. Amazing album.

Just got back from the game.. We over .500 sons!
Brook Lopez has got to be the worst rebounding big man for his minutes. He's averaging 6 rebounds a game!!!! That and his defense is pretty bad... They should trade him while he still has good value.
Landry Fields has some of the highest natural basketball IQ I've seen. Pencil me in as a big fan. What a huge steal.
I'm not sure I like Melo and Amare playing together. I'd still prefer getting CP3 or my favorite DWill!! DWill destroyed CP3 in the post and is a lot smoother on his outside shot. Either way you go, it should raise us even higher along with the development of our youngins.
Just got back from the game.. We over .500 sons!
Melo and STAT have different enough games were it will be far from a Lebron vs Wade dynamic. Their games and mentalities are a much superior mix.
Look. If we can sign Melo and Gasol this offseason we pull the trigger faster than a blind man getting mugged in Atlantic City at 3am.
We can also trade Wilson for a 1st with this plan.
Would be so mint and dominant towards the Jersey Nets they won't even want to move to Brooklyn and get any closer to NYC and their master.
If we can get Melo, we do it. The key to having a good team is to have ONE dominant ball-handler...or rather, not having TOO MANY dominant ball-handlers. In Miami, they have Wade + LeBron both running the point.
As long as we have only ONE person whose job it is to run the point, then we're good. Melo and Amar'e are both good players off the ball so they'd go well here with Felton running the offense...imagine how many assists Felton gets when he gets to pass to Amar'e AND Melo...
Land-ROY Fields has the intangibles to make this team above-average.
as many KO members have noticed, he's got the hi-bball iq that many thought we lost with DLEE's trade.
having Land-ROY on the court gives the Knicks the brain to get that offensive rebound,
take the ball up the court, and make that excellent pass to Chandler that caused Hump-freeze to fall on DevHarris.
Tho his stats won't show it all the time, he is, for sure, A KEEPER!
The Feltip Floater in full effect, the P&R to Stat has just started jellin like magellin,
and his overall game is coming together; orchestrating, penetrating and devastating,
as clyde punctuated the broadcast time and time again.
STUDmaster general is a beast. his impact points (props to trillyo) make him one of the best
go-to players in the league, evidenced by his FTA. the fact that he blocks shots makes him
an impact defensive player as well, something DLEE never was or will be.
I admit, I voted for BOSH over STAT in early polls, I am SO GLAD we have the 100M man.
Chandler has shown himself to be the starter he deserves to be.
Knicks are not falling behind in 1st half with him on the court,
he needs to be in game at beginning to get into his flow.
his forays into the paint this game were better than i've ever seen him,
he is improving before our eyes.
kind of a weak game for Gallo, not getting to line as much as before,
missing 3's, but still contributing.
Tony Chill - huh? wha' happen? when Feltip is on such a roll, you don't really miss Tony...
Ant Rando- 1 block, 1 basket? he needs to think like Tuffiaf, just defend, and when you get the ball at the hoop,
go for it. he is Charles Smith II
all in all, a great game, the defensive effort came thru in 2nd half,
and the offense was all about STUD, Weedson and Feltip.
rock n roll.
Plus I'm a big Riverside Ray fan.
I don't know who's available or who would be by the TDL, but Felt seems more than capable to hold his own off & defensively.
Turiaf is a difference maker. Better teams will exploit our lck of interior presence, but he's already showing signs of wear. Donnie has to start shopping and trade someone for a Big to solidify us.
I think it's imperative that we gobble up a BIG ASAP. In the offseason, here's a list of possible target (all "big" free agents)
UNRESTRICTED: Josh Powell, Glen Davis, Kendrick Perkins, Nazr Mohammed, Kurth Thomas, Leon Powe, Tyson Chandler, Alexis Ajinca, Brian Cardinal, Nene Hilario, Shedlon Williams, Yao Ming, Solomon Jones, Craig Smith, Zach Randolph, David West, Eddy Curry (JUST KIDING), Nenad Krstic, Tim Duncan, Kyrylo Fresenko, Hilton Armstrong,
Marc Gasol is a restricted free agent. So is Joey Dorsey.
I think if we sign Melo, we look for a lesser one of these names. If we do not get Melo, we better target one of the bigger names here.
Other options: Jamal Crawford, Troy Murphy, Jason Richardson.
If we fail to get Melo, I would target Marc Gasol and Jamal Crawford. Probably still have cap space left over.
So, if we were to use Curry as trade bait.... Look for one of these names to be involved, since these are guys who wont be on the cap (taking up Melo's money).
AS FOR LAST NIGHT. Great 3rd quarter for the Knicks. Great finish. This was practically a MUST WIN, IMO.
We've been playing poorly at home. This was the Nets. For our confidence, we needed to come out and flex our will. We did and we finally won a game confortably.
Felton-Stat are getting in a groove. Dare I say it: 40-45 wins?
I wouldn't mind having david west's skill set on the team. Marc Gason, Tyson Chandler, and Nene are good options for us as well..
I think it is apparent that our biggest hole right now is at the 5. the hole at the 2 guard is being covered up quite nicely. If we could get another Big to compliment STAT we'd be much better off then improving at any other position.
I haven't posted in a short while, but I have been watching the games and I'm becoming more impressed with our team every game that we play. They have built that chemistry that we need to succeed.
The only thing that I have a problem with is d'antoni. I feel like he is holding us back from becoming even greater. His coaching errors really irritate me because they are things that even a child would be able to correct.
Just the other day when we were tied in overtime, we had the ball in our possession with a couple seconds to go, and the play is Chandler for 3?!?!?! I mean c'mon ... who runs a play to take a damn 3 when all you really need is a 2 pointer? seriously....
hopefully we can correct this error by the end of the season and hire someone more competent
Anyway, here's to more great wins for our NY Knicks

All of a sudden it seems that one breast has much more milk than the other. It is hard to keep him going on the right, but on the left he sucks for practically the whole time. I am also leaking on the left but not really at all on the right. I can definitely see that milk is coming out and that i am producing. What is going on and is there a way that i can get my right side to produce more?

A Split & 90090
We split the 4 game series with the Phillies! I watched 3 of the 4 from my beloved Dodger Stadium. I had to miss Sunday's game as I had an early flight to N.H. where I am working this week. I will miss the two game series this week with the Padres. Dodgers have two days off this week (Monday & Thursday).
Andre Ethier had two Walk-offs! Friday night it was in the 9th inning and Saturday afternoon in the 12th innings! It was so incredible watching the walk-offs at the stadium and walking down the row hi-fiving everyone!
Earlier before the Saturday game, Dodger Stadium officially got their own zip code! 90090! After watching the official presentation on the field, I headed upstairs to my seat when I noticed that representatives of the post office were selling player's stamps with the official zeal. I bought one from each player they had (9) and I also bought a cool envelope and a set of 50 anniversary Dodger postcards that I had them add the zeal. In addition, I had my ticket stamped. Check it out! I love, love this stamp collection!
I landed at Logan airport only to discover that my luggage did not make it. My co-worker's luggage arrived but not mine. American airline (evil) said they'll deliver it to the hotel which is about one hour away from Logan. They also said they stopped delivering at 11:p.m. so I bought me the essentials to get me bybut I am not happy😦. I sure hope my luggage is at the hotel by the time I get back from work Monday evening.

You're in my neck of the woods! I live in Massachusetts! Have a great trip to New England!
Thanks Julia! After a clowds last night, is a beautiful day here in Peterborough but 60% chance of rain for tomorrow.
My wife and I went to the tropical island of Dominica for our honeymoon a few years back and our luggage didn't arrive. I tried to get vouchers or some kind of refund from American Airlines for the trip but they wouldn't give in. Conveniently we were able to buy all the things we needed to survive for a few days for about 4x the regular price on the Island.
Finally our luggage arrived about 1 week into the trip. Choosing whether or not to fly American Airlines as often in the future? That was easy. Surviving on 1 pair of underwear for a week in the jungle? That was hard.
Go Dodgers.
Wow, that is so cool that Dodger Stadium got it's own zip code!! Those envelopes were really cool. I sure hope you get your luggage back soon!!
Ouch aducker! so you were doing your own laundry every night? Unfortunately I cannot change the airline since it gets booked thru work.
Is cool that now I can type the zip code and get weather report from that exact location. Having the stadium up in the hills, the temperature can be quite different.
I hope you get your luggage, Emma! I hate when that happens. I'm praying Delta doesn't do that to me on Thursday when I fly to NY. Congrats on the Dodgers getting their very own stamp/zip code. Very cool.
I joke about not flying AA. I don't really have a preference for one airline, I just try to get the cheapest I can get. Really the airlines do the best they can and mistakes do happen.
I've flown maybe 10 times since then and never once had a single problem outside of some crazy delays in Chicago last Christmas. It just sucks that the one time they lost my luggage in about 20 times total I've flown in the last 3 years it was the worst possible scenario.
Chicago is always an adventure in the winter. That is why I fly direct to N.H. To be honest, this is the first time it happens to me with American Airline.
I got my luggage! When I got back from work and dinner, The young lady at the front desk told me she put it inside my room. It is a good thing but it was nice having "casual Monday" just for me today. haha.
Good job with the luggage. What a relief that is.
Emma-Great! I see you have been reunited with your luggage.
When you do the tour will you be able to get some pictures? Maybe some of the bloggers saying who they are. To tell the truth, I'm getting a little excited and I'm not even going. Especially good is McCourt getting the old guy to the event.
I am so happy that I am reunited with the my luggage! It was such a pretty sunny day here in N.H. and now is raining and it will rain for the rest of the week. Oh well. I wanted to go check the Hollman's stadium in Nashua but not with this rain. I was checking that schedule and Friday they are having Don Newcombe day. You know he pitched in that stadium and also Roy Campanella used to play there back when it was one of the few places they let blacks play. Pretty interesting story.
Knouff! I definetely will take pictures at the ITD tour and post here. I am so excited about the get together. Kudos to Mr. McCourt for bringing BrooklynDodger fan to L.A. I got to go check if he has made an appearance there.
Does anyone know where I can get a cancelled envelope with June 6th Dodgertown, California 90090? My son was married that day and he is a diehard Dodger fan. I've been a Dodger fan since 1952 and have a whole room in my home with Dodger memorabilia. I would love to get an envelope that was cancelled on his wedding day from Dodgertown. Thank you.
If you read this, what I have extra is cancelled postcards.

High school students to present physical education report to State Board of Education
ISBE Student Advisory Council concludes year with Board presentation
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education Student Advisory Council will present a report on physical education during the Board's June meeting Thursday, June 16. The Student Advisory Council produces an annual end-of-year report on topics, from drop-outs to sex education, as part of their service to the State Board.
"Each year, the Board is honored to hear the perspective of some of the best and brightest students in Illinois serving on the Student Advisory Council," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "Their perspective provides us with new and valuable insight into our students and helps them hone skills and gain experience as contributing citizens of our state."
The Student Advisory Council (SAC) was originally formed in 1975 to bring student concerns to the attention of ISBE. Members of the Student Advisory Council are diverse, representing different parts of the state, types of school settings and ethnic backgrounds. They display a strong work ethic and the ability to think creatively and work well in groups.
As SAC members, the students also may review and critique the ISBE's existing or proposed programs, policies and regulations, as well as inform Illinois students of SAC activities.
In the 2010-11 school year, nine new students were selected to the Student Advisory Council through a competitive application and review process and six students returned to the council. Eligibility for SAC is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors attending a public high school in Illinois.

Rockies are Still In There..Like Swimwear
I really thought "Pitch Your Team" would be huge(it will be). Personally I love every aspect of making videos.
Props go out to R-Luv's team for taking first place.
Below is R-Luv's son showing you the "Pitch Your Team Video Contest" prizes for first place.
A Huston Street autographed mini-bat and baseball, Eric Young Jr autographed mini-bat(Dan and Emily donated their second place prize to R-Luv).
And some misc Rockies inaugural stuff and a pack of 1990 unopened Topps cards that Todd The Giants Fan had given me.
Go ahead and open the pack…Just don't eat the gum :)….Seriously
I like the sponsoring the Rockpile Rant's Pitch Your Team Video contest. I'm not a guy that gives up easy. If you don't believe me go back and look at my first six months of blog entries…Not even one comment…Yet I kept chugg'n.
So on that inspirational note..Get ready for…"Pitch Your Team 2"
There are a lot of talanted baseball fans with a lot of creative ideas. For Pitch Your Team 2 I'm going to give you plenty of time to ponder, plan out and create your video.
I'll start taking video submissions for "Pitch Your Team 2" when the World Series is over.
The video judging will take place on Opening Day 2011.
Official rules, prizes and judges will be announced at the end of the World Series.
Thanks and Good Luck!
I couldn't have been prouder of the Rockies taking the series against the Dodgers in LA, but I can't help but think how cool it would be right now to have swept the Blue and been one game closer.
Rockies…We need to sweep the D-Backs and then bring it back home to Coors and unleash some of that Rocky Mountain magic on the (not so big) Giants come this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Friday's game is the Fireworks game and I'll be there with my entire crew chill'n on the field.
I can't wait.
Enjoy Monday off Rockies…Then get ready, it's time to own the NL West…D

Hey D,
Thanks again my friend! I already have my idea for Pitch Your Team 2🙂
Hope the team can keep up the September magic. Another post-season would be nice.
Oh man! I forgot about this! You know between working fulltime, attending games and the blog and just life, is hard to keep with everything around. I really wanted to participate BUT I get another chance! Drop a reminder if you can.
I love that the Dodgers were able to salvage one game against the Rockies but you let that game getaway. You could look back at that game as a turning point. Still love the walkoff last night.
Good luck
EMMA-Yep, I can think of several turning points this season. If I'm around next season I'll drop you a reminder…D

Happy Mothers Day, Feliz dia de las madres.
I will be heading to Dodger Stadium soon. I am taking my aunt Nora with me and afterwards we'll go to dinner.
I like to share this with you all about Hilda Chester and Walter O'Malley.
In 1953, Hilda Chester had dyed her hair a flaming red color. On May 10 of that year, the Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0, on Mothers' Day moving into first place with a 14-7 record. Billy Loes pitched his only shutout of the season and catcher Roy Campanella drove in all five runs, belting his 10th home run of the season and a double, prompting a happy Walter O'Malley to call a florist during the game to immediately deliver a huge bouquet of flowers to Chester in a box near the Phillies' dugout.
The card to her signed by O'Malley read: "To Brooklyn's newest redheaded mother."
Chester was outside Ebbets Field showing her flowers to many fans long after the game had ended.
"Now wasn't that the nicest thing for Mr. O'Malley to do," said a teary-eyed Chester.
Source: Roscoe McGowen, New York Times, May 20, 1953
Happy Mothers day to all she-fans!
I am wearing my red wig today to honor Hilda.
Ubaldo Jimenez against Clayton Kershaw today. I got both of them in baseball fantasy team so is a win-win situation.

Happy Mother's Day, Emma. And Happy Mother's Day to Hilda in Dodger heaven.
Thanks Jane! I better get ready to head to the stadium. I am taking my aunt (Nora) with me.
Happy Mother's Day!
Too bad things like that just don't happen anymore. Now they are too busy digging into our pockets instead.
That is right Mike. Things like that don't happen anymore.
Hi Emma! Hope you and your aunt had a nice day at the ballpark. You'll have to post a picture of yourself in the red wig. Or just go all the way and dye your own hair red!😉
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Hey Sue! So you are back from your SPAM adventure! I hope you have pictures!
You asked for it! I will post that picture. i decided to go with a wig I had that I used for a Halloweeen event at work.
i hope you had a great mother's day! I love that picture of you and your brother🙂
Just to clarify, that is my friend Erik. There is a pic of my brother Vic here in the blog, but I don't remember right now where.

This former A+ list mostly movie actor who will always have A list name recognition and is in an acting family has been shacking up with a woman a quarter of his age while his actress wife lives in their home.
Douglas and CZJReplyCancel
Perhaps it's their arrangement? *shrugs*ReplyCancel
Or Jeff Bridges/Susan(wife) is actress/producerReplyCancel
Jeff would never.ReplyCancel
The quarter his age, but still legal… Kind of narrows it down doesn't it?ReplyCancel
He really would.ReplyCancel

Thank you, @Karen. LOL'ing at those guesses.ReplyCancel
Uh…um. Jeff, call me! 😉ReplyCancel
That was my thinking. It does say "woman" not "girl".ReplyCancel
You know what, I misunderstood it as a quarter his age younger, and clearly need more caffeine. But in happy y'all enjoyed your morning laugh at someone else's expense. Have a good day. I'm done here.ReplyCancel
LOL lighten up!ReplyCancel
@Tricia 🙁ReplyCancel
If it's Michael Douglas,the shack up is only 17. UrrrghReplyCancel
Oh honey. Honey, you need to lighten the fuck up already.ReplyCancel
The woman is his carer.ReplyCancel
Well isn't CZJ seeing her "therapist"?
Sounds like they are separated but still "trying" to keep up appearances.
Plus, prob just easier for CZJ to stay in the house and not have to battle it out in a divorce. Douglas prob figures the same, he doesn't want to give the marital slut half his stash.ReplyCancel
Get it, Bro!ReplyCancel
@Riven, I wasn't laughing at your guesses. Was just adding my input from my read of the blind. I misread them all the time too.ReplyCancel
Sorry just circled back@ms..no I found him to be brutally honest about having done it, he just divulges it in a dignified way…..he is a carouser, not dennis quaid level, and I pretty sure after 35-40 years she doesn't give a damn…lol
Maybe it's not him…but, he was my thought
MD likes women, not girls……ReplyCancel
Grain of salt on the "quarter of his age" bit. Enties are prone to exaggeration. She's much younger, leave it at that.
Douglas is a good guess. It's just the sort of thing he'd do. Bridges has his outside interests but none live in his house with his wife.ReplyCancel
@malibu..I hear ya..Jeff's a great dude, he'll..he's THE DUDE, but a man, and fallible…people don't seem to get you can have affairs..relationships and still maintain your life with your partner…ps…BI indicates, wife lives in Their marital House, he's living with mistressReplyCancel
I'd have said michael Douglas as well, it was my first thought. But if he is shacked up with a 17 year old, then that's sick and I doubt it. So either enty is exaggerating or it's not him.
Maybe it's his dAddy kirk:-))ReplyCancel

February 2, 2012 —
First order of business today is to set the record straight.
Paraphrasing Mark Twain, let it be known that the rumors of my death have been mildly exaggerated. I have, however, recently experienced an N.D.E. (near death experience).
When I awoke on December 30, my head filled with plans for New Years Eve, I felt peculiar. A cold sweat came over me and I felt some discomfort in my gut. After some effort, I managed to get a coat on, Dharma's leash off its hook and made my way outside for her morning constitutional, wondering what could be wrong with me, momentarily chalking it up to the abundance of holiday parties I had attended during the previous days.
While on our short walk, the discomfort turned to actual pain and I began to feel this was no (IMHO) ordinary stomach upset. I hobbled back to the house. By the time I got inside, the pain had become unbearable and I collapsed on the floor, panic rising just before I passed out cold. When I came to, I was in full-blown agony and knew I needed help. I spent the next two hours attempting to get to the phone, flailing about helplessly, screaming and crying, unable to reach the receiver, while slipping in and out of consciousness, quite sure that I was dying.
The sound of the phone ringing stirred determination and luckily, I was close enough to it by then that I was able to knock the receiver to the floor and scream "help me" into the mouthpiece before once again slipping away. When I came to, I was in an ambulance, on its way to the Catskill Regional Medical Center, and my personal nightmare was underway in earnest. Emergency room gave way to a battery of tests, while the team of doctors and nurses tried their best to (unsuccessfully) ease my suffering as they began to unravel what was occurring inside of me.
I was given Dilaudid, which is "a very potent centrally-acting analgesic drug of the opioid class. It is a derivative of morphine, to be specific and therefore, a semi-synthetic drug. It is, in medical terms, an opioid analgesic and in legal terms, a narcotic and considered the strongest of the antitussive drugs" (www.wikipedia.org [2].)
In layman's terms, Dilaudid is "synthetic heroin." It seemed to have no impact on the pain, but did succeed in putting my head in another world.
As the test results began to come in and a surgical team put together, day gave way to night. It was 7 p.m. on New Year's Eve by the time I was informed that emergency, trans-abdominal surgery was imminent. I was whisked off to the OR, writhing, wailing and frightened. Thankfully, a close friend had been called and he miraculously appeared by my side, holding my hand and reassuring me that I would pull through, come hell or high water.
Fifteen minutes before the ball dropped in Times Square, I was wheeled into the recovery room, literally out of my mind, flitting in and out of reality. I'm told that I was wondering aloud how I was going to get my column written and (believe it or not) fretting about work, much to the amazement of my nurses. As the hours passed, images floated in and out of my psyche, all somehow related to my associates at The River Reporter. I imagined publisher Laurie Stuart leading a congregation in prayer, while strumming a Celtic harp (fanciful, no?) while images of Sandy Long photographing the procedure danced in my head.
I "saw" Tom Kane in the background as I began to feel disillusioned about faith, mingled with some confusion regarding my ability to remain resolute that, with simple trust, all would be well. Poet-in-residence Mary Greene popped into my addled brain as I constructed an ill-conceived spoken word ode to my intestines: "As the twisted, coiled, poisoned guts silently revolt inside of me, like Medusa's head, I scream, praying for a death that will not come." (You see Mary? This is why I leave the poetry to you and Sandy.)
More came and went. Zac Stuart-Pontier consulting with Lori Malone on the best way to edit the X-ray images into a montage. Clem Fullerton explaining to editor Fritz Mayer how I had been "gutted just like a fish." Associate editor Anne Willard diligently checking in via phone. The endless parade of faces and names connected to TRR floated around my dream-state, and here I am, four weeks later, jotting these thoughts down on a wireless device, unable to sit properly at my desk, yet determined (finally!) that the show must go on.
I'm told it will be a slow recovery (still in pain), 90 days before I can drive again, and a year before back to normal, but I know now that I will prevail, (it's called intestinal fortitude) with the help of the outpouring of love and support that has washed over me since the nightmare ensued. Not much left in the guts department. Hopefully, glory will prevail.
