I would loan mine too (I have both) but I just loaned them to another pregnant friend last week!
Loving mama to JP (DS, 1/03 ~ nursed 6 mos), EL (DD1, 9/05 ~ nursed 4 yrs), EJ (DD2, 3/08 ~ nursed 3 yrs 9 mos), and
JM (DD3, 6/12 ~ currently nursing), all born naturally
Devoted wife to SAHD P, my hero
A few of my favorite things that I've discovered on the forum: co-sleeping, baby-wearing, tandem nursing, baby-led solids, cloth diapering, APing, selective vaccination...the list goes on
No worries, either I get Erin's or I search our local library.

Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
Tiff, I've been explaining to Joshua this (every single day) "babies are born without any teeth in their mouth, all they drink is mommies milkies. You have lots of teeth, and you can eat all kinds of big boy foods that baby can't eat." He still snuggles with his milkies, and asks to nurse maybe once a day for a few seconds. While he is snuggling he says "baby no teeth, Joshua teeth" so I know it is registering.
I agree with you...I really don't want to tandem. I was talking with my midwife about it, and she actually brought up alot of good points to tandem nursing (not what I wanted to hear, but)...she agreed to set limits from the start. She said that it made her older one feel as if they were still just as important, and therefore there were far less jealousy issues, helped with engorgement, and here is the best one...she lost a TON of weight
However, I am still hoping by that point he will be fully weaned. You have a good shot seeing it is has been 3 months so far! It's not like you are suddenly cutting her off. Just keep on explaining why baby needs the milk just like she did when she was a tiny baby. Make her feel proud about being a big girl now with all those nice teeth, and talk to her about all her favorite foods that she gets to enjoy...that baby can't have.
Keep us posted on how it goes!!!

This just in: an elderly man using a walker, wearing a mask, and carrying a large potato sack was just arrested on the grounds of Chris Paul's home.
Does anybody reeally think we won't need this guy to beat Miami in a playoff series??
We need the ultimate floor-general-alchemist.
No pretenders @ the PG position will do..
CP3.. Period. Point Blank. Done.
Get him here.
Please Donnie!!! Please! Get him here however you can. Kidnap him if you have to.
And Lord,
Please don't let the new CBA be prohibitive to us getting this man. Please lord.. so that CP3 can fulfill the promise during that fateful toast at Carmelo's wedding, where he n La-la joined in holy matrimony in your name... so he can makes us a championship contender..
And can you please give the league a 75 million hard cap? Please Lord..
I pray in Jesus' name...
Seriously though guys we need this guy.
This just in: an elderly man using a walker, wearing a mask, and carrying a large potato sack was just arrested on the grounds of Chris Paul's home.
CP3 would be a dream come true, but we can't lay our eggs into the free agency basket until 2012 at the earliest & we used up most of our assets to land Melo. Getting CP3 here is gonna be a tough proposition. One thing I think is pretty obvious though is that this system needs an MVP calibre PG to have much success.
I dig cp3 a ton and want him here too...but...Miami doesn't have much at point and look where they are at. Our bigs are letting us down as well as a defensive coach. I think no matter who we get, we won't win it all unless this team seriously picks up the Defense..
On that note, CP3 and a decent big, and a few better role players could get it done if we follow what i said above
We might need CP3 and D12. Miami's playing some serious ball.
A new coach is imperative. Point blank period. Miami can play any game they want and beat you. Defense? CHECK. Offense? CHECK. Slow it down? CHECK. Fast break? Check. Finesse? CHECK. Toughness? CHECK. Inside? CHECK. Outside? CHECK. You name it they got it.
The Knicks with MOA as coach may be able to do 3-4 things on this list. Even with CP3 it doesnt bring us as close to the Heat (with MOA) as some of you guys may want to believe...
iami is able to play lock down defense when they have to, plus they have 2 of the top players in the game running the show that can both create their own shot & create for others on their team, we don't currently have that. Both STAT & Melo are premier scorers, but they are not ball facilitators, & our defense sucks ass. MDA's teams need an MVP quality PG running the show to be successful.
I agree with some of what you say here, but Melo can create his own
offense...what do you think he does all game (give me the ball and watch) ...STAT, to some extent, though he doesn't have the ball handling skills that the others pocess
Spoelstra brings Riley's defensive philosophy. That's it.
If we can land Paul and a solid defensive assistant, we'll be able to compete w Miami for the next 4-6 yrs even if MDA is still coach.
With Stat & Melo, what can CP3 do that Billups or Felton can't?
This is a posters poor attempts to support D'Antoni by not exactly advocating for Steve Nash but rather a PG, because they feel that is what make D'Antoni sh*t work.
Again, hasn't league MVP D. Rose tought you anything?
CP3 isn't the answer. In fact considering we have Stat & Melo already, signing another Max will be a 4-5year death sentence.
CP3 @ 6' is nice. He is talented and can help almost any team. But he's not worth sacrificing size and depth. Part of that depth as far as the NYK's go is within the starting line-up.
We can use wishful thinking with Fields if you want and feel can become that knock-down shooter we need next to CB, Melo, and Stat. But that leaves a Center. This center must have talent.
Talented centers to anchor a defense an compliment two scorers and a facilitator that we have will be expensive and worth more than CP3- as again we need a facilitator.
Chauncey will prove this we need CP3 wrong next year, Felton and Rose already have as one is the MVP (shut down) and the other excelled on a less than max contract.
Again, all this thread is is a referendum and support of Mike D'Antoni. Its another way of saying the OP'er believes in him and Nash and he needs a PG for his system.
Get us some depth and a center and CB, Stat & Melo will take care of the rest. Trust.
And I didn't even mention replacing D'Antoni. See.
Much rather D12, myself...won't happen though...not possible

The 2013 version of the Wasp volleyball squad is nothing short of energetic and feeling pretty confident about a competitive season.
Head coach, Joe Mellen, now in his 14th year at the helm of Wasatch volleyball, chooses not to dwell on the trying season of 2012 and instead takes the positives from the experience.
"You know, we had to finish up the year with mostly juniors and sophomores," Mellen recalled. "But what we got from it was some tremendous game experience. The younger girls from last year are now experienced and ready to go."
Mellen has 28 total players on his roster for the 2013 campaign and only three of those girls are seniors. Two of those three, Tristin Bills and Hailee Coleman, will lead his team as captains. Jessica Fishler is the third senior on the team.
"They were out there last year pretty much from the beginning, so it's not a huge step-up for them," added the head coach. "There's only three of them though, but luckily they've got a pretty good supporting cast."
Junior Annie Huntsman will serve as the third varsity captain this season and will be counted on heavily to be a leader for the future. The Wasps will send many juniors to the floor during the campaign including Emma Kelson, Liz Bryan, Erika Hunsaker, Madison Richards, Sydney Richards and McKay Riddle.
The Wasps will continue to prepare as they always have even though the move to 4A could present a few more challenges for the young group. "3A was always competitive," Mellen stated. "I expect the normal differences with the bigger schools—size and power, but we're there now too. So, we'll just really have to step it up."
Wasatch will rely on some pretty decent height at the net and hope the big hits come when the opportunities are there. During the team's final practice before it's season opener Tuesday night at Payson, Mellen and assistant coach Tasha Peacock were encouraging the girls to be aggressive. "If we can do some of the things I know we're capable of, then we'll have a good season," Mellen added.
After the Payson match, the Wasps open their season at home on Thursday, august 29 against Grantsville.

The Zias took their biggest lead at 27-22 on Kassie Daugherty's layup with 6:28 to go in the first half, but McIntyre hit a pair of free throws and a jumper as Commerce rallied to 34-31 halftime lead.
McIntyre, the LSC's fourth-leading scorer, hit three 3-pointers in a row during 2 1/2 minute stretch midway through the second half as the Lions surge to a 55-43 lead.
Down 64-61 with nine seconds left after McIntryre's free throws, the Zias were unable to get off a 3-point shot, with Karen Grant scoring on a layup as time expired.

I'm definitely not a bible-thumper, but I do encourage you to read the good book. "Born to Play" My Life in the Game. It's a biography of the reigning American League MVP, Dustin Pedroia. Pedroia gets the credit, but it's told to Ted Delaney. It recounts the life and times of the Red Sox star, his trials and tribulations and his successes as well. Delaney was struck by the young man and his "bravado". Where does the real Pedroia end and the loud Pedroia begin. We speculate that Pedey has had to compensate for his size since he was a "little guy" (No pun intended). When he isn't proving it on the field, he proves it with his mouth. There is little doubt that Pedroia has endeared himself to Red Sox Nation, but now you can figure out how and why. The book is available at all good bookstores and is published by Simon and Schuster. Look for a certain PawSox broadcaster prominently featured in one chapter.
Aaron Bates is back with the PawSox after making his M.L. debut with Boston. As you'd expect, Bates was thrilled with the experience. "I had a great time. We were 5-2, I think while I was there." When asked about the best part, or the best thing he saw- "Baseball is baseball no matter where you play, but the police escort the Red Sox got coming from the airport was impressive." Bates was asked if he was rooting extra hard for Boston now that he has played for them and they always give anyone who's played for them, even briefly, a World Series Ring. "Man, I hadn't thought about that, but yeah, definitely". Ron Johnson was pleased with Bates- "He was given a great opportunity and I think he comes back with a nice sense of confidence. There's a unique feeling when you become a Major Leaguer. That will prove to be very valuable for Aaron." RJ continued "He's seen firsthand and had success. He'll use that to get much better."
On Friday night, catcher Mark Wagner threw out successive attempted base-stealers in the third inning. He gunned down Brian Bixler and Lastings Milledge. Wagner, known for his strong and accurate arm says that is a fun facet of his game. "I love throwing a guy out as much as getting a hit." "Wags" had gunned down 62% of would-be thieves in Portland this season.
Overheard Friday night in the Indianapolis dugout as burly catcher Carlos Maldonado lumbered up to the plate to pinch hit for the PawSox. "Watch out for the bunt." His former Indy teammates realized the likeliehood of Maldo bunting was about as good as RJ ordering a salad. When I told Maldonado about the jab- he roared with laughter. Carlos did get the last laugh. He had a base hit and an rbi.
Tough night for second baseman Travis Denker. Despite hitting a home run, he'd just as soon forget Friday. An errant throw from catcher Mark Wagner bounced funny and caught Denker in the throat. He stayed in the game, but eventually needed to go to the emergency room. He's OK, but still experiencing soreness in his throat. On top of that, the air conditioning in his apartment wasn't working. Bad night despite the homer.
Dusty Brown made a brief appearance at McCoy on Saturday. The brand new father took batting practice and worked out before leaving to be with wife Jordan and son Jude. Although he wasn't required to be here, RJ felt it showed tremendous commitment. "Brownie got his work in and he is in good position to help up in Boston should there be a need." RJ said he knew that Brown was coming in for a while on Saturday. He has Sunday off with the Red Sox' blessings and is scheduled to travel with the PawSox on Monday as the team heads for Rochester.

Aaron did a great job when he was up with the Sox. I suspect we'll see him back again soon.
Brownie just seems like the kind of guy with that work ethic. which is what people want.

He began swimming to shore because he thought the sailboat he was on was not going to come back for him. After all, the boat continued on its course when it could have turned about.
His sailing friend, C.M. "Cap" Henkel, had tacked, and the sailboat's boom had knocked Glenn in the water.
Eventually, Henkel tacked again and headed back toward Glenn.
Angry, Harsdorff blurted out: "Capt., why didn't you [expletive] just turn about and come get me [more expletives]?"
Not missing a tick, Henkel said, "You [expletive] always said you could walk on water!"
Of course, the exchange was between two very close friends who shared the love of sailing.
Dorothy, Glenn's wife, said Glenn, Cap Henkel and his wife, Kitty, and Bill and Martha Lamson were good friends, and all had quite a few adventures together.
The late C.M. "Cap" Henkel was once the publisher and owner of the Refugio County Press and wrote Coffee Time, a column he said he wrote from Frandolig Island. He died in May 2002.
And his sailing buddy, Glenn Harsdorff, died Monday, Oct. 21, at age 90. His funeral was held Saturday, Oct. 26.
"He was a storyteller. He has been called a philosopher. He could always make you laugh. Most of the time, the stories were pretty close to the truth," said his stepdaughter Debbie Dean, who now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla
Dorothy recalls a story that Glenn told from his childhood. He had a good friend in Gene Tuttle.
"They kind of grew up together, playing baseball where the Mission River Oaks are now. They called it the callaboose," Dorothy said.
Anyway, Charlie Tuttle, Gene's brother, was on one of the bases when somebody hit a home run.
Charlie happened to have some matches in his back pocket.
"He slid into home plate, and the matches sparked. He was hopping around like a jackrabbit because his butt was on fire, or at least that's how Glenn told it," Dorothy said.
"His war stories were exciting and very colorful," Debbie said, "and only he could make eating a monkey or rat sound like a good thing."
Glenn had served in the U.S. Navy, followed by the U.S. Army Air Corps First Air Comando Force in the China-Burma-India Theater.
Glenn flew co-pilot in CG-4A Waco gliders, which could hold numerous troops, fuel and equipment, on three missions into Burma.
C-46s towed the gliders, two at a time.
"I remember when he was telling me about the glider pilot training, just before the invasion. The latrines were situated at the front end of the landing strip. He was heading for one when a glider came in too low and clipped the top, exploding the outhouse and exposing the poor occupant who took off screaming with his pants down. I wish I could tell it like Glenn did because I laughed until I cried," recounts Debbie.
Later, Glenn began a more than 20-year-career as a Refugio County justice of the peace.
U.S. Highway 77 was a two-lane highway early in his career as a justice of the peace.
Once, he got a call about a car on fire.
"He said it was extremely difficult – seven bodies. He did the pronouncement, and Father Ed Kirscher came out to bless the souls." Dorothy said.
That was the tough part of a JP's job.
Prior to becoming JP, Glenn had operated a water well drilling service and lumberyard doing business as Homeco.
He eventually sold the drilling rig to Whit Lamson, who in turn sold it to Scott Carter.
"Scott would come over to the office (Glenn's JP office), and they would talk about drilling water wells," Dorothy said.
Through the years, Glenn continued to help people.
Dorothy said Glenn had lots of books that he enjoyed loaning to others and was well read.
"Glen gave me books I would read. Glenn taught me there was a whole lot more ... to never stop, to try to do more," said Manuel Vela of Goliad.
Dorothy said Glenn had lots of books and was well read.
Vela said he was a 1984 Texas A&M University graduate with a degree in animal science, and all he wanted was to be a cowboy.
"Glenn taught me not to be content with being a cowboy, and to never stop," Vela said.
Glenn's son died earlier before Vela's dad died.
"I loved my dad very much. I learned my work ethic from my dad. Be honest, work hard and do not be ashamed of who you are," Vela said.
"I could never replace his son, but with me being around, I thought I might help him, too," Vela said.
Through the years, Vela and Glenn became close especially after Manual's own father died at an early age, maybe you could tie that in here
"He was like a father to me," Vela said. "I'll miss him till I'm gone. He helped me be who I am."
Glenn retired at the end of December 2002 from his justice of the peace work. Dorothy said Glenn commented: "You've just got to know when to quit."
"Even after retirement, he still sat back in that JP office and talked to people," Dorothy said.
"And he enjoyed going to Bob's (McGuill) office at the courthouse and talking with Bob and Willie Brown," Dorothy said.
"Sitting around the table telling war stories – he did that a lot over the years," said former county attorney Bob McGuill.
"He had a diverse background. The whole time he was a JP, I was a prosecutor. I got to know the man. To me, he was a very just man," McGuill said.
"He made no distinction for what walk-of-life people came in. He had a heart of gold," McGuill said.
McGuill said the past year has been difficult because he lost two of his best friends: Glenn Harsdorff and Willie Brown.
McGuill said they'd go to the "Zarsky sloughs close to the mouth of the Aransas River. We went fishing down there many years."
Dorothy added that Glenn enjoyed being with his fishing buddies, saying they also would go down to Copano Bay near Bayside and then go to Crofutt's afterward for a sandwich.
McGuill said Harsdorff was a "homespun philosopher," who touched on many different philosophies.
Dorothy said Glenn loved to talk about books McGuill and he were reading.
"He had a wonderful time in Bob's office," she said.
"He was the type of person who had a zeal and zest for life. He helped so many people. And he was so positive about everything," McGuill said.
McGuill recalled that Glenn loved peppers, and one time Glenn got a really hot one from McGuill.
"He turned really red," McGuill said, laughing. But Glenn acted like nothing was wrong.
"He has a lots of friends from every walk of life. He never took any thanks for it. He didn't want any publicity, and for several years, he sent donations to a children's home," McGuill said.
McGuill said Harsdorff was a "unique' person.
Harsdorff's daughter, Linda Harsdorff Lees, said her father was brought up to be giving without expecting payment.
"Dad had two different chapters. It's difficult because my parents were divorced. He married two Dorothys. His first wife was a Dorothy," Lees said.
"He told me, 'This way, I won't forget her name.' My childhood was a little bit different," she said.
"When I grew up, my dad was really a character. There was nothing he wouldn't have tried," Lees said.
For example, he flew and antique aircraft (much like the one the Wright Brothers flew).
"He was a pretty good pilot, but the first Dorothy made him give it up because of a close call," Lees said.
Lees said she always knew her dad was fearless.
"He is still with me. I did not say bye to Dad," Lees said.
She said her husband Ron made it to the hospital first after they were notified that he had passed.
She was 15 minutes behind her husband.
She said her husband said, "I felt him grip my hand."
"There are no words to explain what had happened. Instead of being broken up, I felt at peace," Lees said. She said her dad was an active man and would have hated the condition he wound up in.
My dad always said, "The answer is ... there is no answer."
His stepdaughter, Debbie Dean said, "I miss him. I've done more with my life because he inspired me. He had so many adventures I wanted for myself.
"I was 16 years old when Glenn came into my life. My best friend said about him that he never judged us. Instead, he guided us," Debbie said.
Sure enough, Glenn took 1 a.m. phone calls from Debbie and his son Buddy when they attended university.
Debbie graduated in 1984 and Buddy finished med school in 1978.
But Buddy died in 1984 from lymphoma cancer.
And now Glenn is gone.
"It's just a big void in our life. There's something missing that will be impossible to fill in my life," Debbie said.
Dorothy agreed.
"He was so special. He was the love of my life. We did everything together," Dorothy said.
"He always wanted to make sure I was all right," she added. "I feel he's with his family in spirit.

View images of civil rights leader Nelson Mandela, who went from anti-apartheid activist to prisoner to South Africa's first black president.
Updated at 6:58 a.m. ET: JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — As millions of South Africans reflect on how Nelson Mandela led them away from segregation, many others see the former president as a figure firmly rooted in the past with limited impact on their future.
"For my generation, the heroes are not political icons, as incredible as they are," said Gugu Ximiya as he boarded a minibus packed with Sowetans travelling to work in the rich, white neighborhoods in the country's largest city. "We have our own problems and the political leaders do nothing.
"My icons are the sports stars, movie stars, people who make money. To me, they're the people who have really made it," the 23-year-old security guard when he was asked about the former president. Mandela, 94, was admitted to a hospital in Pretoria on Saturday to receive treatment for a lung infection.
Mandela suffers recurrence of lung infection
Mandela is often described as "the father" for leading South Africa out of apartheid without a violent transition. His country is very young.
From prisoner to liberator, Nelson Mandela's fight for equality in South Africa serves as a shining example of justice and peace. Here's a look at the pivotal moments in the life of South Africa's first black president.
Democratic South Africa, the so-called Rainbow Nation, is now 18 years old. Most of its people were children or not even born when Mandela was released from prison in 1990. A whole generation of people have been "born free" since racial segregation ended with the country's first democratic elections in 1994.
South Africa enters adulthood as 'born frees' come of age
Now, almost 60 percent of South Africans are under 35 years old — 29 percent are younger that 15, according to the country's most recent census.
For those who remember the euphoria of their first taste of freedom in 1994, Mandela often represents hope that has not been replicated since. The generation that does not remember that great moment often cannot feel the same closeness to Mandela.
"I wasn't there. My parents tell me all about it, and I get it. But who is my Mandela? What he did is great, but it is fading from our memory," Ximiya said.
Former South African President Nelson Mandela is being treated for a recurring lung infection. South African authorities gave few details about his illness, but have now said the 94-year-old is responding well to treatment. NBC's Rohit Kachroo reports.
For others, Mandela's illness has brought a sense of unity to a country that remains often bitterly divided by race and economics. As the census shows, the income of white households is six times higher than black ones. Protests about basic services have become an almost daily occurrence in urban areas as the government struggles to fix a broken education system and address chronic unemployment and poverty.
In Soweto, an almost exclusively black township described as "the heartbeat of the nation," many people said they were alarmed by news of Mandela's admission to hospital.
Themba Hadebe / AP
Young women walk pass a mural depicting former South African President Nelson Mandela at Alexandra township in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Tuesday.
Close to the house where Mandela once lived, now a museum, Joe Nkosi sells souvenirs celebrating Soweto's past.
"We all fear the worst, but hope he is OK," the 32-year-old said. "He is just so, so special to every single one of us. If anything happened to him there would be tears everywhere."
'Steered us away from disaster'
Mandela, who became a global symbol of resistance to racism and injustice after spending 27 years in apartheid prisons, represents to the world what is best about South Africa, according to political analyst Mzoxolo Mpolase.
"He has become the embodiment of South Africa's strengths," he said. "The way he reacted to trouble, how he steered us away from disaster when he came out of prison and throughout his presidency."
Killings of S. Africa farmers a toxic apartheid legacy
"It was a tone of reconciliation and working together," Mpolase said. "His death would lead us to ask whether those ideals can be sustained."
Secretary of State Clinton tells of the important life lessons she has learned through her friendship with Nelson Mandela.
Mandela was released in 1990 and went on to use his unparalleled prestige to push for reconciliation between whites and blacks as the bedrock of the Rainbow Nation.
While people around the world revere Mandela, it is impossible for them to truly understand what he accomplished, said Faith Radebe, a 63-year-old domestic worker.
"People from outside South Africa cannot understand how much he means to us," she said.
"When I think about Madiba, I think about what these streets were like under apartheid," she said, referring to Mandela by his clan name. "I remember how excited we were when he came out of prison. We knew that the past was over, and that we would be free."
So as Radebe remembers what Mandela accomplished on behalf of his countrymen, political analyst Mpolase worries that his death will signal the end to the idealism that created the modern South Africa.
"His passing would be tantamount to the country losing its very foundations," he said. "A part of the country would die too."

Public Works Department
Annual Slurry Seal Project No. 129
Contractor is currently working on the preliminary work for the slurry seal project, including crack sealing and asphalt repairs. Slurry application is currently scheduled for July.
As part of the ongoing effort to maintain and upgrade City streets, the City Council has recently allocated funding for the slurry sealing of various residential and arterial streets throughout the City, as shown on this map.
Over the years, heavy traffic, water infiltration, and aging asphalt have contributed to the degradation of various streets. This slurry seal project will provide a protective coating for the streets and is designed to seal and extend the life of the pavement. Work is scheduled to begin June 2015 and finish in approximately two months therafter.
The contractor will be distributing construction notices two weeks prior to construction. All parking restrictions will be posted 48-hours in advance and door hangers will be distributed to all affected residences and businesses. The day of the slurry seal, we request that you refrain from parking on the street. We also ask that you do not allow any water to run into the street until the slurry seal has dried. Please do not water your yard or wash your car during that day. Some streets will be closed entirely to traffic the day of the slurry seal. Most importantly, residents and businesses should anticipate traffic detours and limited access to their homes or businesses during certain periods.
We request that you do NOT drive on the slurry seal until it cures (about 4 hours after it is applied). Streets will be opened to traffic once the slurry has had adequate time to cure. If all goes as planned, they will be opened by 5:00 p.m. each day. It is important to note that even after streets are opened, it takes several months for the slurry to completely cure. Because of this, normal driving on recently slurried streets may cause some tire tracks (especially at the ends of cul-de-sacs), or gouges from turning wheels while your car is not moving.
For your SAFETY and the safety of your family and visitors, please stay away from equipment and construction areas. Please keep your children from harm and instruct them to stay clear of all construction activities. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a quick and successful project completion.
To ensure open lines of communication with businesses and residents, the City has designated a project manager and project inspector to handle all aspects of the project. To ensure quick response to your inquiries, comments, and concerns, please call:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slurry seal?
Slurry seal is application of asphalt mixture that costs approximately 20 times less than a 2-inch asphalt overlay and lasts approximately five to seven years. It is a mixture of asphalt emulsion, fine aggregate (sand) and water. The slurry is spread over the street existing asphalt surface at approximately 3/8" thick. The purpose of the slurry is to provide a new wearing surface and protect the asphalt underneath from water damage. The process is akin to painting wood siding on a house – it is not as permanent as new wood siding, but it helps the existing siding last longer and is far less expensive than new siding. In simple terms, slurry seal is a maintenance product that keeps costs down until a street is warranted for an asphalt overlay.
Why are there white discolored areas with sand?
This typically happens in situations of irrigation overspray or excess water in an area. The water discolors the slurry seal and brings out the cement and rock dust in the slurry mixture. Although the area may look different, the slurry seal performance will not be affected and will continue to do its job in protecting the underlying pavement from weather/moisture damage.
Why does the slurry seal appear uneven and rough?
The slurry seal is an emulsion of oil, sand, water, latex, and rock aggregates. The sand and rock aggregates give the slurry seal the texture necessary to provide vehicles with tire traction and improved safety, which is especially helpful during rain events.
Why does it look like there are seams in the slurry seal? Why isn't it continuous all the way through?
Slurry seal is applied in passes and it typically takes several passes to slurry seal one street. In areas where passes connect, the slurry seal must be overlapped for the product to perform properly. The subject seams are the areas where the overlap is necessary.
Why can I see hairline cracks in the slurry?
Prior to slurry sealing, cracks larger than a quarter of an inch are sealed with crack sealant. Cracks smaller than a quarter-inch are sealed by the slurry seal. The slurry seal application does not provide a structure layer, as in an asphalt overlay; hence the visible propagation of existing cracks to the surface. Although some of the smaller cracks are still visible, the slurry seal performance will not be affected and will continue to do its job in protecting the underlying pavement from weather/moisture damage.
What is the process of the Slurry Seal project?
Application of slurry seal is a three step process. First, surface cracks are filled to help protect the subgrade from water infiltration. Second, for areas with greater pavement deterioration, the existing pavement is removed to a depth of 4"-6" and filled with new asphalt to provide for a stronger pavement section. Third, the slurry seal is applied over the asphalt roadway, thus completing the process. During all phases of work, driving and parking will be affected and we request that you adhere to all street postings.
Will this project affect street sweeping and trash pickup?
Street sweeping will be suspended during the slurry seal process to allow for the street to properly cure. Vehicles will not be cited on street sweeping days in the areas affected by the slurry seal project.
During the project, all work will be coordinated with the City's trash hauler to allow for normal trash pickup operations.
How come the Slurry Seal is a light brown color and not black?
When the slurry seal is applied, it is a light brown color due to the chemical reactions and the temperature of the mix. As the mix becomes exposed to heat and sunlight, it will begin to turn black.
Over time, as water reacts with the slurry seal, the street will begin to turn gray. Also, as cars drive on the street, the asphalt begins to wear off, exposing the gray aggregate underneath. This is natural and only affects the aesthetics of the street, not the structural integrity.
What precautions should I take once my street has been slurried?
Although a street may be opened to vehicular access after the slurry seal, it actually takes several months for the slurry to completely cure. Because of this, tire tracks and gouges may appear on the street. To avoid these tire tracks, we request that you minimize making sharp turns and turning your wheels while your car is stationary. The more visible tire tracks and "power steering" marks are often caused by heavy trucks, RVs, and trash trucks. During hot days and the summer months, these tire tracks may become more prevalent, but will eventually flatten out over time as the slurry cures.

- Title
- Large-area protein patterns generated by ordered binary colloidal assemblies as templates
- Author(s)
- Singh, Gurvinder; Gohri, Vipul; Pillai, Saju; Arpanaei, Ayyoob; Foss, Morten; Kingshott, Peter
- Abstract
- We demonstrate the use of binary colloidal assemblies as lithographic masks to generate tunable Au patterns on SiO2 substrates with dimensions ranging from micrometers to nanometers. Such patterns can be modified with different chemistries to create patterns with well-defined sites for selective adsorption of proteins, where the pattern size and spacing is adjustable depending on particle choice. In our system, the binary colloidal assemblies contain large and small particles of similar or different material and are self-assembled from dilute dispersions with particle size ratios ranging from 0.10 to 0.50. This allows masks with variable morphology and thus production of chemical patterns of tunable geometry. Finally, the Au or SiO2 regions of the pattern are surface modified with protein resistant oligoethyleneglycol self-assembled molecules, which facilitates site selective adsorption of proteins into the unmodified regions of the pattern. This we show with fluorescently labeled bovine serum albumin.

This might be long, so I apologize now..
At my daughters 1 month appointment (which was actually a week early because we were concerned) it was determined that she has reflux (pulling off the breast, writhing in pain, spitting up, etc) so she was put on Zantac. She weighed 9.9 at that appointment. We went for a follow up a week later and she had lost an ounce (same scale, same time a day, everything was the same). It wasn't a big deal, but we talked about alternatives that we might have to do if she hadn't gained any weight by her next appointment.
Anyway, after that appointment I started a feeding diary so I could see just how much she ate, and for how long, with how many diapers. It wasn't much. I came to the conclusion that my own health problems (shoulder and back problems) were keeping me from nursing for as long as I should have, or for as long as she would want too, so I started pumping to supplement (which we had discussed with the doctor). As soon as I started pumping her diaper output was great - 5 sopping wet diapers and two bowel movements in the first day, which was great compared to before the supplementing (only one really wet one in a 24 hour period).
I was pleased that it was going so well and then my pump quit, so she got formula bottles for one day because I wasn't getting enough by pumping manually.
At our last appointment, at 5 weeks, she weighed in at 9.14, which was a gain of 5 ounces in a 5 days. Our doctor was pleased with that.
We also determined that what I thought was an OALD was actually the reflux causing her to fuss, not my let down. In fact, I have a poor supply, and am working REALLY hard to only pump after feedings as opposed to in lieu of nursing her (although once or twice a day I NEED to take a break and feed her from a bottle re: back problems).
Birth weight - 9.2
Left the hospital - 8.7
3 week appointment - 9.10
4 week appointment 9.9
5 week appointment 9.14
Since being on the Zantac she has been much happier, and in less pain. Because of this I have been trying to supplement less with the bottle (still pumping after each session), and today we're back to a poor diaper output. She's only had two wet diapers since last night, with only one being sopping wet.
I would like to pump more to help with my back problems, but I know it would negatively impact my supply even more so I'm really fighting through the pain to nurse as often as physically possible but I'm so disheartened that she isn't thriving.
We have another appointment on Monday to weigh in, but question is how do I pump to supplement her while still nursing? Nursing alone and pumping after each session is not yielding enough to supplement with. If I skip a feeding to pump a full bottles' worth I end up a slave to the pump, because I can't feed her AND pump every 2 hours. It's impossible to tend to her while pumping, washing pump parts, etc etc.
I know the rule of thumb for increasing a supply is to nurse nurse nurse, and I have been ALL DAY.. and nothing (diaper wise).
How do I increase my supply and supplement with EBM?

Meet the new drugs, same as the old drugs?
"Targeted therapy." It's the holy grail of cancer research these days. If you listen to its most vocal proponents, it's the path towards "personalized medicine" that improves survival with much lower toxicity. With the advent of the revolution in genomics that has transformed cancer research over the last decade, including the petabytes of sequence and gene expression data that pour out of universities and research institutes, the promise of one day being able to a patient's tumor, determining the specific derangements in genome and gene expression that drive its uncontrolled proliferation, and finding drugs to target these abnormalities seems more tantalizingly close than ever. Indeed, it seems so close that even dubious practitioners, such as Stanislaw Burzynski, have jumped on the bandwagon, co-opting the terms used by real oncologists and real cancer researchers to sell "personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy," which in their hands are really no more than a parody of efforts to synthesize the enormous quantity of genomic data each patient's tumor possesses and figure out how best to take advantage of it, a "personalized genomic therapy for dummies," if you will.
That's not to say that there aren't roadblocks to realizing this vision. The problems to be overcome are substantial, and I've discussed them multiple times before. For example, just a couple of weeks ago I discussed an example of just what it takes to apply these new genomic techniques to an individual patient. The resources required are staggering, and, more problematic, there often aren't any single "magic bullet" molecular pathways identified that can be targeted with existing drugs. The case I discussed was a fortunate man indeed in that such a pathway was identified, but most tumors are driven by many derangements in growth control, metabolism, migration, and the other hallmarks of malignancy described by Robert Weinberg. Worse, in many cases we don't even have drugs that can attack many of the abnormalities that drive cancer progression. Then there's the issue of tumor heterogeneity, which comes about because cancer is as good example of a disease as I can think of in which evolution due to natural selection results in incredible differences in the cancer cells in one part of the tumor compared to other parts of the tumor or in the tumor metastases. A "targeted" therapy that targets the genetic abnormalities in one part of the cancer might well fail to target the genetic abnormalities driving another part of the tumor.
These, and many other reasons, are why we haven't "cured cancer" yet.

Okay, if you're easily grossed out, don't read this!
I have been having a nipple issue for months now--I'm an exclusive pumper, and I have a lot of pain and discomfort while pumping (I've changed settings to no avail), lots of redness in teh general area, and white tips on my nipples. Also, when I finish pumping I notice angry red bumps on my nipples. I have seen the OB, who said it was yeast and put me on Diflucan for 4 weeks (didn't work), so then I saw a dermatologist who said it was dermatitis and put me on a steroid ointment (also didn't work), so I finally went to see a local lactation consultant, who said it was an infection (white tips are actually pus!), and put me on antibiotics, a compounded topical and salt water soaks. She said I should start to improve quickly, but it's been 5 days and I've seen no improvement. She's really stumped and so am I. DD is only 4 months old and I really want to continue bf. Has anyone ever seen ANYTHING like this????

When it comes to staying healthy, Men's Health says much of what we accept as gospel is really hearsay.
Most of the advice sounds reasonable.
But here are nine health habits Men's Health claims are a waste of time.
1.) See your dentist twice a year.
A 2003 review looked at 29 studies and found no conclusive evidence supporting a need to go every 6 months.
If your teeth and gums are healthy, once a year is enough to catch any developing problems, experts told Men's Health.
2.) Don't eat after 8 p.m.
Calories don't know time, and going to bed hungry can disrupt sleep patterns.
Make sure you eat a protein-packed meal. It will provide more fuel for your body.
3.) Go for an annual full-body scan.
Some doctors told Men's Health they are useless -- especially for the abdomen and pelvis.
Scans can help detect lung cancer and coronary-artery calcium, but these tests are recommended only for people over 45 who have risk factors.
4.) Throw away milk when it reaches the expiration date.
The milk probably has another week of freshness, experts say.
Give it the smell test.
5.) Feed a cold.
What you eat is not as important as staying hydrated.
However, cysteine in chicken soup has been proven to relieve mucus buildup and sore throat.
6.) Starve a fever.
If you're weak, the illness will hang around longer.
7.) Use a hard toothbrush to clean your teeth.
A soft one cleans just as well and causes less damage to teeth and gums.
It's better to avoid sugar-packed foods.
8.) Brush and floss twice a day.
Plaque takes about 24 hours to harden. Floss for at least 2 minutes, before bed.
But you should floss once a day. People who floss infrequently are three times more likely to develop stomach cancer.
9.) Only wear disposable contact lenses for two weeks.
If a contact lens is approved for continuous day and night wear for 2 weeks, Men's Health said, it can last twice as long if you wear it only during the day.

Rise Against -- St. Petersburg, FL -- December 1st, 2012
Wolf-Face - The "battle of the bands" winner to be on the festival, their music sounded very Polar Bear Club ish, but they all wore wolf mask/hair, yellow basketball uniforms, and most of their music had something to do with the movie Teen Wolf, they sounded really good but i wish they'd drop the gimmicj. - 6/10
Twenty One Pilots - Some of the best indie-rap I've ever heard, it was a 2 man band. the vocalist/pianist reminded me of Bo Burnham, his fast and quirky rapping caught the crowd's attention, their drummer played non stop funky/groove beats the whole time and got most of the crowd dancing to their music, they really impressed myself and everyone else there, would go see again - 7.5/10
The Joy Formidable - The next big female fronted band in my opinion, they were so incredibly heavy for a indie pop band, they made me think of a Yeah Yeah Yeahs mixed with Soundgarden and the first Muse album, they sounded and played great, would go see again - 8/10
Paper Tongues - The only band of the day i didn't enjoy at all, the music itself wasn't bad, but the singer had that "I'm the man" attitude, also i didn't enjoy all of the effects he was using with the microphone, they just overall were very boring - 3/10
Grouplove - I had never listened to them before their performance and i was impressed, they definitely are not your average indie band, only complaint was i couldn't hear the vocals (it was so bad the crowd started chanting "turn up the mics", but besides that a very solid performance, I'll have to check them out again - 7/10
Flogging Molly - The main reason i was there, I've been listening to them for 5 years and had never seen them, and they didn't let down in the slightest, they had a great interaction with the crowd, and sounded perfect, could have had a better setlist but oh well, their cover of "Times They Are A Changing" by Bob Dylan was awesome as well, i would go see them again multiple times - 9/10
Of Monsters & Men - I had been hearing about this band for a month but never checked them out until their performance, not what i was expecting at all (in a good way), they were definitely the softest band of the day but after 4 hours of hectic crowd surfers it was a nice change of pace, they have a very interesting sound to say the least, it's not often I hear a band whom don't sound like anyone else, I'll check them out again at some point - 7/10
Fun - It was unfortunately almost impossible to enjoy this band because of the idiotic crowd, their sound was nearly flawless but then setlist was beyond disappointing, but the crowd went insane for their 2 big singles, I'd watch them again if they're at a festival but i don't think I'd pay to see them headline, they were ok but a little boring - 6.5/10
Silversun Pickups - The reason for about 65% of the entire attendance i think, I've liked this band for a few years and was pretty excited to see them for the first time, and their sound was some of the most crystal clear sound quality I've ever heard, also apparently their bassist is expecting twin girls so they had a replacement (another girl who looked a lot like Sara from "Tegan And Sara", and she was awesome, they played all of their best songs, glad i finally got to see them - 8/10
Bush - This band is hit or miss for me, i really enjoy several songs but the rest of them are extremely boring at times, their played all of their hits like "Come Down" and "Machinehead", they sounded exactly like they do on CD but didn't put on much of a performance - 6.5/10
Rise Against - One of the very first modern rock bands i got into, so it was a long time coming for me to see them live, and they were awesome, their sound was perfect, Tim is one of the best vocalists in punk/rock today, they had some technical difficulties that caused them to cut 3 songs from their set, but they more than made up for it, I would more than definitely go see them again. - 9/10

Thanks for your setlists and review! I have uploaded them to setlist.fm and all of them seem spot on except for Bush. In case anybody's interested, here is the correct Bush setlist corrected by another show attendee-
Upcoming concerts I'm attending-
Twenty One Pilots (January 31)
Green Day (March 30)
Bush was the only one i wasn't 100% sure on, i knew most of the songs, just couldn't remember the order.
I should add I've seen the last three bands at this festival, myself this year. I saw a Rise Against headline show in September, I saw Bush open for Nickelback in May, and I saw Silversun Pickups open for Foo Fighters in June.
Upcoming concerts I'm attending-
Twenty One Pilots (January 31)
Green Day (March 30)
Your Rise Against setlist is incorrect. It was actually:
Read to Fall
Chamber the Cartridge
The Good Left Undone
Help is on the Way
The Dirt Whispered
Audience of One
Wait for Me
Re-Education (Through Labor)
Prayer of the Refugee
Swing Life Away
Give It All
The order is not 100% correct, but these are definitely all of the songs they played. I know he first 5 are in order and so are the last 3. I have a friend who got their setlist though, so I will ask him later. They also had Dancing for Rain and Make It Stop on the setlist, but had to cut them.
Also, this was a decent show. I had seen every band here beforehand except for SSPU and OMAM (and Wolf-face). I don't care to do a full review, but I'll rank the bands from best to worse with a score:
1. Flogging Molly: 8.75/10 (so much fun, may have to go see em in Orlando in February)
2. Of Monsters and Men: 8.25/10 (very good, enjoyed these guys a lot)
3. Rise Against: 8/10 (great band but worst of the three times I saw em. Good deep cut selection though)
4. Bush: 7.75/10 (good set, but was pretty much the same as last year's NBT)
5. Fun.: 7.5/10 (pretty decent. I like these guys. Some songs sounded great, others were disappointing. They were better at Bonnaroo)
6. Grouplove: 7.25/10 (definitely solid and fun, though they were also better at Bonnaroo)
7. The Joy Formidable: 7.25/10 (not as bad as their ranking indicates, but I don't know any of their stuff, and I didn't see their full set)
8. Silversun Pickups: 7/10 (was starving and dehydrated when they were on, but they weren't good enough to distract me from that. They were still decent though)
9. Paper Tongues: 5.5/10 (I'm just so tired of seeing them, even though they weren't too bad here)
So it was a decent time. The venue choice was awful compared to the last few years, but I can't complain too much (I went for free). I had fun though.
12/15 - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
2/4 - Gojira/Devin Townsend
2/23 - Muse
3/2 - Dropkick Murphys
3/11 - Meshuggah
3/12 - Tenacious D
Never mind, you're right lol

Talked to my friend, and here is the correct order. Literally the only difference is that Wait for Me was played after Satellite instead of Audience of One, but I figured why not not post it.

So many of you wrote in asking what the lip color was that was used in my High Brow Tutorial last week that I had to share! I'm sure a lot of you already know about Intuitive Lip Balms, but for those of you who haven't discovered them yet, you're in for a beautiful surprise! They go on and feel like a clear lip balm but respond intuitively to your pH level and become anywhere from a sheer light pink to a gorgeous bright pink. Yes!

Senate Hopeful Mourdock Offers 'Simple' Economic Solutions but Not 'Easy' Ones
In an interview this past week at the Freedom Works event FreePAC, I had the opportunity to ask Indiana Senate hopeful Richard Mourdock his thoughts on the best way for Congress to promote real economic solutions.: The Indiana State Treasurer was a featured speaker at the event that boasted over 14,000 attendees.
Mourdock said the solutions really: aren't: that hard.: And quoting the great Ronald Reagan he commented, "There are always simple solutions, but there are never easy solutions.": With the release of the second quarter reports and only a dismal 1.5% growth in GDP, the economy continues to stall, the left continues to blame Bush and the GOP and they refuse to admit what they are doing: isn't: working, at all.
"The simple solution is to reduce the size of Government. Let people keep more of their money," Mourdock insisted. "And to get the regulatory environment that's coming out of DC changed so that businesses have certainty. People don't want to invest unless they know what the rules are."
Recently the Bush tax cuts have been the subject of debate and votes.: Obama from the very beginning of his Presidency has touted raising taxes on the so called "wealthy" and having them pay their "fair share."
"Taxing the wealthy is a farce," Mourdock said.: He explained that depending on what the economy does by collecting taxes on those making over $250,000 per year would only generate $36 billion in a bad economy and up to $80 billion in a good one.
He continued by saying "if nothing else is changed and since we are currently spending $4 billion dollars a day more than we are taking in, by January 1st of 2014, if Obama gets his way and the wealthy are taxed, it would only allot for 20 days of a balanced budget." : That's it.
When asked what he considered the motivation for the Obama administration to tax the wealthy was, he replied, "This is nothing more than about separating Americans and creating class envy and it's flat out wrong.: Obama's plan is to divide America and he's doing very well."
Mourdock explained that most people assumed when Obama was talking about "change" they assumed he would change Washington D.C., but in hindsight most realize, "he wanted to change America.": And not for the better.

In-Home Clinical Services
The Yale Child Study Center provides home-based treatment services to families with children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance, problems of drugs and alcohol, or involvement in the juvenile justice system. Services are also available for families in which children are affected by abuse, or neglect, and/or the chronic or acute physical and mental illness, or substance abuse of those caring for them. Among the services provided by population specific programs are evaluation, assessment, treatment planning, individual, dyadic, family, and group psychotherapy, parent counseling, clinically informed case management and medication management. The primary goal of treatment is to improve the fit between the child and the care-giving adults, prevent disruptions of parent/child relationships and assist the child and family to remain safely in the community. Services are provided by a staff of social workers, psychologists, nurses, physicians, and mental health counselors who work with more than 700 children and their families annually.
Home-based treatment programs place a high value on public/private collaboration and cooperation in the interest of meeting the multiple needs of children and families. Referrals are welcomed from schools, parents, public and private provider agencies, hospitals and probation. Major funding sources include the Connecticut Department of Children and Families, The Connecticut Department of Social Services, the Court Support Services Division of the Connecticut Superior Court, the Community Health Associations of Connecticut, The Probate Court, Ryan White Part A and private foundations.

Hi everyone-- so glad the website now has a forum to post questions! My son is a little over 2 months old, and we've had lots of ups and downs with breastfeeding but we're hanging in there. Two questions:
1) My latest issue has to do with my right nipple tip turning white after feeding. It's INCREDIBLY painful-- it looks like all blood has left the area-- I try to soothe it with hot compresses to bring the blood back-- but it's just a temporary fix. Has anyone had any experiences with this? The white area seems to be increasing with every feeding...I've also noticed the blood loss and resulting white color happening *slightly* on the left nipple tip, but it's not painful there. Latch-on is painful on the right breast only... then during nursing the pain fades... only to reappear after the feeding. In addition, I've noticed that my son compresses the shape of both nipple tips while sucking.
2) My son seems to be a very slow feeder-- with not a huge amount of productive sucking during each session (maybe 3-5 mins. tops). Then the sucking becomes non-productive (I call this "nibbling"!), with very occasional swallowing. Any hints to encourage more active sucking? Pedi says he's doing fine with weight gain...but I want to make sure he's getting everything he can, and I also want to keep my supply strong.
Any advice appreciated!! Thanks so much!
