Slowly, the hard shell that had been built around me started breaking apart every time I listened to your show. There have been several programs that have touched me very deeply, even to the point of tears."

Hello ladies!
So, the first two weeks were great. Then I got an infection that kept me from BFing. Then I think I had some plugged ducts, that made getting back up to speed after the infection a challenge. Then I was told to supplement with formula until the nursing sessions got longer and the formula feedings got shorter...but the opposite happened. By yesterday I was so disheartened I made an emergency appointment with an LC for today.
She told me that although I am still making milk...its such a small amount that this isnt an issue of increasing supply...but completely relactating. She also told me that even with my best effort it might not work. CRUSHING!
So I'm here completely recommitted to nursing, no matter the effort. This is what I'm doing as of today:
1. Pumping for 5-10 minutes hourly until midnight, then pumping once at 4, then resuming hourly pumping at 8.
2. Putting baby to breast as often as she will let me. She's a good latcher...but peeved at the low supply.
3. Mothers milk tea
4. Oatmeal cookies
5. Emailed the doc for a domperidone scrip... probably wont get it.
6. Crossing fingers and hoping.
I might go buy some odouls tomorrow too. I'm just going to try everything I can until I either succeed and pray I dont burn out along the way.
Any tricks/tips I have missed?

Tampa Bay Area CoderDojo is a free program brought to you by mentors who are tech startup founders from the area. These founding members of CoderDojo are gladly devoting their time and energy in the evenings on a workday so that children can understand the world around them a little better, and have a positive influence on society.CAUTION: Dear Parents - When you REGISTER, please only use your name for sign-up. We will know the seats you requested based on the number of tickets reserved by you. Please DO NOT fill up your child's name on this form.The session will be hour-long, but not in a classroom format. Instead, the sessions will be more like jam-sessions. Mentors will use the "Grandmother method" instead of teaching a curriculum, by focusing on admiring the productive stuff the kids do and achieve. CoderDojo's philosophy is that admiration and acknowledgement are the key to inspiration and creation of a learning context that is positive.Mentors will encourage kids to ask each other for assistance and to google for answers. We will also encourage the more advanced kids to step up to be mentors as quickly as they can. Mentoring from within ensures our CoderDojo's sustainability.Here's a checklist for participation. All children must be accompanied byA print-out of the ticketA laptop.Download Scratch from scratch.mit.edu before you come, or we will show you how to do it.A parent! (Very important).

Singer-Songwriter Shawn Stoddard will be performing a new song from his debut album "Further Down That Road" on 95.3 The Wolf on Wednesday, July 24 at 8:00 am.
"The song is called Now She's Gone," said Stoddard. "It has never been performed live so this will be an exclusive performance for the Friends of the Den."
Stoddard's appearance on The Wolf is two days before the third round of The Texaco Country Showdown, which will be held on Friday, July 26 from 6-7 pm at the Gazebo in Library Park as part of the Ogdensburg Seaway Festival. Stoddard will be a contestant at that event.
The Texaco Country Showdown is America's largest country music search. It begins each spring with over 450 local talent contests sponsored by country music radio stations throughout the US. Winners advance to their respective State competitions and compete for a $1,000 prize, the State Title and the opportunity to advance to one of five Regional Finals. It's the last step before the prestigious, televised National Final. The audience cheers on the Regional Winners, as they compete for the Grand Prize of $100,000 and the title of "Best New Act in Country Music."
95.3 The Wolf is hosting The Texaco Country Showdown in the North Country and has already had two winners in their qualifying rounds, Kelsey Newtown and Rebecca Branchau.
"There are many gifted singers-songwriters in the area," said Stoddard. "I am looking forwarded to hearing Kelsey and Rebecca compete at the grand finale at the St. Lawrence County Fair in Gouverneur and hopefully be a finalist alongside them."
Stoddard is currently ranked #1 in the all genres charts for Ogdensburg on ReverbNation and was ranked #5 in the top 10 most viewed profiles on The Texaco Country Showdown website for the week of July 12-19, 2013. Stoddard donates all song sales to charity with 50% going to Love Hope Strength, an international, music-centric cancer charity and the other 50% going to The Fender Music Foundation, a music charity funded by people who want to change the state of music education.
"Win or lose, The Texaco Country Showdown is a great opportunity for musicians to showcase their talent, interact with fans and garner new ones," said Stoddard. "It is also a wonderful way for the community to support local music."

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Did you know that Michigan is home to the world's largest haunted house? Erebus, located in Pontiac, is a four story haunted house that was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's Largest Walk-Through Haunted Attraction in 2005. Today, Ed Terebus, who owns and operators Erebus with his brother Jim, fills us in on the haunted house business and what you need to know before making a visit to Erebus.
Q: For those who have never been to Erebus, can you give us an overview of the popular haunted destination?
A: Erebus is the result of Dr. Colber, who worked for the government to build a time machine, then later worked on building the time machine on his own. He was successful at sending people back into time, with the only one glitch being that the time period looked at the people like a virus and wiped them out. Determined to overcome this glitch, he sent in group after group of his own personnel, but they were unsuccessful and he ended up broke and lacking the proper personnel to run his machine.
Dr. Colber came up with a brilliant idea to disguise his time machine as a haunted house (Erebus) and have the general public help fund his project and use the people going through as human guinea pigs. The theme is time travel
Q: How did you get started in the haunt industry and what's the history behind Erebus?
A: My brother Jim's boss made him join the Jaycees. They were doing their annual Halloween haunted house, and it was like he was meant to do. Years later when he was working for Ford, he was laid off and decided to open a haunted house. The first haunt was 1200sqft. and $1.50, the second year 2,800sqft and $3.00 and the third year 3,400sqft and $4.00. We ran that for 13 years, then bought a bigger space.
Q: What are some new attractions visitors can expect this year?
A: Erebus, in Greek Mythology, is the son of Chaos and the brother of Night. This year we're bringing in the "Big Mama" – Chaos is Here 2012. Chaos is unleashing an all-out assault… we'll hit you from every angle with full on fear… and show no mercy.
Q: What's one thing visitors should be aware of before they visit Erebus?
A: Michigan is the haunted attraction capital of the world with more than 70 haunts in a 50 mile radius. We can't buy that really cool prop from the trade show because 25 other haunts will have it in this market. We pride ourselves as one of the most unique haunts in the country by designing and building almost all of our own props in house.
Here is a good example: Buried Alive! will put you in a room, slam the door and dump 10,000 balls on your head (and bury you alive)! How long can you hold your breath? We spent over six years thinking about this and if you want to experience it you have to come to Erebus!
Like I said before, we pride ourselves as being one of the most unique haunts in the country by building almost all of our own props in house. You will see things here that were born from the imaginations of a couple guys that have been thinking about scaring people for 33 years! If you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it! That is a motto of success; we just applied it to scaring people!
Q: What's your favorite part of Erebus?
A: We never work on the same thing! Every year we try to out do what we did the year before, so our creative juices are always flowing. Even better than that, I get paid to scare people! LOL!
Q: What makes Pontiac or Michigan in general the right place for Erebus?
A: Halloween needs a place with four season,s and Michigan is beautiful in the fall! Pontiac is right for Erebus because it's in the heart of Oakland County, and every major street leads to Pontiac… just look for the search lights!
Q: Where can people go to learn more?
A: Please visit HauntedPontiac.com to learn more about Erebus.
Ed Terebus and his brother Jim have 66 years combined experience in scaring people for a living as owner/operators of haunted attractions in Michigan.
For other haunted attractions in Michigan, visit michigan.org. Have you been to Erebus – The World's Largest Haunted House, or do you plan to make a visit this year? Share with us below!

#1 Nato air attack on Pakistani troops was self-defence, says senior western official11-27-2011, 04:35 PMUS-Pakistan relations strained further after attack allegedly kills up to 28 and prompts ban on Nato trucks crossing Afghan border
Jon Boone in Kabul and agencies
The Observer, Saturday 26 November 2011
An attack by Nato aircraft on Pakistani troops that allegedly killed as many as 28 soldiers and looks set to further poison relations between the US and Pakistan was an act of self-defence, a senior western official has claimed.
According to the Kabul-based official, a joint US-Afghan force operating in the mountainous Afghan frontier province of Kunar was the first to come under attack in the early hours of Saturday morning, forcing them to return fire.
The high death toll from an incident between two supposed allies suggests Nato helicopters and jets strafed Pakistani positions with heavy weapons.
The deadliest friendly fire incident since the start of the decade-long war also prompted Pakistan to ban Nato supply trucks from crossing into Afghanistan and to issue an order demanding the US quit the remote Shamsi airbase, from which the US has operated some unmanned drone aircraft. At border crossings, hundreds of supply trucks are reportedly stranded by the ban, with drivers fearing insurgents will take the opportunity to attack if they are not allowed to move.
The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

Yoga: An Explanation
Once the baseball season starts back up, you can be sure that the first few weeks we'll hear all about the "off-season regimen" that certain players undertook. I'm sure the announcers will talk about the shortstop who lifted weights to improve his strength and the right-fielder who did ballet to improve his footwork. If we're really lucky, there could even be a story about Pujols doing Pilates which might make Jeff feel better about his departure from St. Louis.
The stories I like the most, though, are about the guys who do yoga. Personally, I'm a big believer in yoga. The breathing and stretching clean out the cobwebs and get the blood flowing. For those with back problems, it can do wonders. But despite all those obvious benefits, yoga looks kind of silly. And really, after a season of form fitting stirrup pants, who wants to then imagine Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder in yoga pants?
However, I think we may have missed the real reason for offseason yoga:[youtube http://youtu.be/loszrEZvS_k]
Yep, yoga. I get it now.

President Barack Obama has given eight police officers who responded to the Sikh temple shooting in suburban Milwaukee last August national law enforcement awards.
The ceremony was held at the White House on Saturday morning, the Journal-Sentinel reported.
Obama singled out Lt. Brian Murphy, who was the first to arrive and suffered 12 bullet wounds.
"He fought back until help arrived and ordered his fellow officers who are here today to protect the safety of the Americans worshiping inside even though he was lying there bleeding from 12 bullet wounds," remarked President Obama. "When he was asked how he did it, he said, 'that's just the way we're made.'"
The others were Savan "Sam" Lenda, John H. Finco, Julie M. Grauberger, Dean Kleinhans, Michael Shultz, Derick Slamka, and Kelly Romel.
On Aug. 5, a gunman opened fire at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, killing six and injuring three. He then killed himself.
Jim Palmer, executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, said Obama spoke for about 15 minutes and met with the officers after.
Officers from eight other states also received the award.

My very last "non-airport waiting room" experience in the Middle East was relaxing in an USO lounge pounding down Girl Scout cookies like a man exiled to Afghanistan for the last four and a half months. I sat captivated by Sky News which was on the television. It was the first time I was able to watch television not provided by Armed Forces Network (AFN) which does not show commercial but instead has public service announcements (don't drink and drive, don't abuse your wife/significant others/be sure to reenlist or join the reserves!). As a thank you I picked up the messy lounge before I left.
The truly touching thing the USO did was welcome me back. I was on a flight full of soldiers who were heading back from Iraq, Afghanistan, and service in Europe. As I exited customs I was swarmed by a legion of USO volunteers who passed me free stuff and thanked me for helping my country. It is a truly humbling thing to be saluted by a veteran in a wheel chair. That was something I was not emotionally ready for and I feel that I did not deserve. However, it is great to know there are people out there who remember service members.
So I want to say "thank you" USO. I am also adding the USO to my list of favored charities. I personally saw countless soldiers use USO phone cards, internet terminals, airport lounges, care packages of tooth brushes and tooth paste, and coffee while I was deployed.
Thank you, USO.

Animal cruelty charges filedApril 08,2014Animal cruelty
charges filed
WEST PAWLET A man faces animal cruelty charges after police found one dead dog at his home and another so sick it had to be euthanized.
Keith L. Prevost, 46, of Route 153 in West Pawlet was charged and cited to appear in Rutland criminal court at a later date, according to a news release.
Police were called to Prevosts home March 25 for a report of animal cruelty.
Pawlet Constable David Ricard arrived to find two dogs in a cage. One was already dead and the second was clinging to life and in desperate need of medical attention, according to police.
That dog was taken to the Rupert Veterinary Clinic where, after an evaluation, it was euthanized.

The U.S. Army says the shooter from Santa Cruz, Calif. who killed two police detectives on Tuesday used to be stationed in Hawaii.
Jeremy Goulet, 35, served in the Army from January 2004 to February 2007, according to military officials.
He came to Hawaii in April 2006 and was stationed at Wheeler Army Airfield.
Attorney Don Wilkerson says he represented Goulet when he faced sex assault charges here in the islands.
"I actually thought he was going to get back on track and do what you're supposed to do in life," said Wilkerson.
The sex assault charges were eventually dropped.
The detectives were shot to death Tuesday soon after arriving at Goulet's home in plain clothes to question him about a misdemeanor sex accusation, Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil Wowak said.
The killings kicked off a half-hour neighborhood search by police that ended in a barrage of gunfire that took the life of Goulet, a disturbed former soldier who blamed everyone but himself for his escalating problems.
"He had contempt for the cops and hated our justice system, and had been in jail before and swore he'd never go back," his father Ronald Goulet, 64, said in halted, emotional bursts during an interview with The Associated Press.
Wowak said that after shooting the two detectives, Goulet took their guns and jumped into Baker's car. But the neighborhood was boxed in by hundreds of quickly responding law enforcement officers, so he ditched the car and tried to run.
Wowak said Goulet was trying to dash back to the car when he started shooting at a team of police and deputies. Goulet was killed in the shootout.
"(Goulet) was distraught. He had intentions of potentially harming people and or the police," the sheriff said. "No doubt the officers that engaged Goulet stopped an imminent threat to the community."
Wowak said investigators were still trying to determine everything that happened when Sgt. Loran Butch Baker and Elizabeth Butler first made contact with Goulet.
His latest arrest, for being drunk in public, came Friday in Santa Cruz. That same evening, a colleague at the coffee shop where he was working filed a complaint with police for inappropriate sexual advances. He was fired the next day, and the detectives had been following up on that investigation.
Goulet's father said his son texted his twin brother on Tuesday, saying "'I'm in big trouble, I love you,'" the father recalled.
"Jeff texted back and Jeremy wouldn't answer and next thing we know he was shot and killed," he said.
Jeremy Goulet earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in 2000. But his admiration for the law turned to hatred amid his constant urges to peep on unsuspecting women, his father said.
"He's got one problem, peeping in windows," said his father. "I asked him, 'Why don't you just go to a strip club?' He said he wants a good girl that doesn't know she's being spied on, and said he couldn't stop doing it."
During college Jeremy Goulet served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. His father said Jeremy was arrested for peeping at the time and charged with a misdemeanor.
After graduating from San Diego State University in 2000, he eventually landed in the U.S. Army, where he trained as a helicopter pilot. He was moving forward in his career when he again stumbled into legal troubles in the Army and was discharged, his father said.
Goulet moved to Portland to be with his twin brother, Jeffery. The two had a strained relationship and fought often, but the bonds of family kept them together, his father said.
Jeremy Goulet's troubles followed him to Oregon. In May 2008, he went to trial on charges of peeping on a young woman as she took a shower in her condo and for trying to kill her boyfriend. The woman said that after showering she noticed the window screen was gone and a stick had been used to prop open the blinds.
Goulet was acquitted of trying to kill the boyfriend but convicted of carrying a gun without a concealed weapon permit and invasion of personal privacy. After violating his probation, Goulet was sentenced to two years in jail. He moved to Santa Cruz for a fresh start after jail.
"He figured he can restart his life, but he's really upset at the system," the elder Goulet said. "He already has anger management issues so everything was coming to a head."
Until last fall, a neighbor said the twin brothers lived for at least a year in a brown-shingled house on a quiet street in Berkeley.
Jeffery Goulet, the suspect's twin brother, released a statement Wednesday saying his family was deeply saddened by the events in Santa Cruz.
"We would also like to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of Sgt. Loran Baker and Detective Elizabeth Butler," it said.
Baker, a 28-year veteran of the force, and Butler, a 10-year veteran, had been shot at and called for backup before arriving officers found Goulet, who was killed after opening fire on them, authorities said.
Baker's son, Adam Baker, served as a community service officer, and father and son had mailboxes side-by-side at the Police Department.
Butler came to Santa Cruz to study at the university and stayed, the newspaper said.
"You have to be a people person down here," she told the newspaper in a 2005 interview. "I really do know people's names."

Officials in india say the lone surviving gunman from the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai was executed. The Pakistani citizen was one of ten gunmen who went on a three-day killing rampage. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- The Pakistan militant group accused of killing 166 people in a 2008 gun rampage in Mumbai has warned of future attacks, Reuters reported, after India secretly executed the only surviving man responsible.
Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, 25, a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, was hanged at the Yerawada Prison in in Pune, southeast of Mumbai, at 7:30 a.m. local time Wednesday (9 p.m. ET Tuesday) -- hours after India's President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his legal appeal.

Members of Bajrang Dal, a hard-line Hindu organization in India, distribute candy in Allahabad as they celebrate the execution of Pakistan-born Mohammed Kasab on Wednesday.
The Pakistani national was the only suspect to be captured alive after Nov. 26, 2008 atrocity -- locally dubbed "26/11" -- in which 10 militants embarked on a 60-hour killing spree that engulfed cafes and luxury hotels including the landmark Taj Mahal Palace.
Special Report: Pakistan's threat within -- the Sunni-Shia divide
Pictures of the young gunman wearing a black T-shirt and toting an AK-47 rifle as he strode through Mumbai's train station were published around the world -- helping to secure his eventual conviction and death sentence in August.

Kasab was buried inside the prison where he was hanged, officials said. India said it would hand over the body to Pakistan if a request was made, underlying the sensitivities and severely strained relations between the two nations.
Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based group seeking the propagation of Islam around the region and an end to Indian rule of Kashmir, is blamed by India for the planning the attacks. Kasab confessed to being a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, according to Pakistan news site Dawn, but the organization was never conclusively linked to the crime. Pakistan also denies any official involvement.
Reuters said it spoke on the telephone Wednesday to one the group's senior commanders, who said Kasab was a "hero" whose death would "inspire other fighters to follow his path."

The Pakistan Taliban said it was shocked by the hanging.
"There is no doubt that it's very shocking news and a big loss that a Muslim has been hanged on Indian soil," Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan told Reuters.

However, there were celebrations in India.
"When I heard the news of Kasab's execution today, I remembered those horrifying moments of the attack," said Vishnu Zende, who was working at Mumbai's train station on the day of the attack. "My eyes were filled with tears."
Reuters contributed to this report.

Amsterdam police are investigating a Sunday break-in at an Amsterdam jewelry store.
At 8:55 p.m. on May 12, police received a report of a burglary to the Ernesto Morales Jewelry and Repair Store in the Riverfront Center in the city of Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Police Department Det. Lt. Kurt Conroy said Tuesday that security officers discovered a broken window at the store while making their rounds Sunday evening.
"Officers responded and noticed the window had been broken from the inside out," Conroy said.
Conroy said it appears the suspect gained access to the suite via the ceiling and was able to get down in to the store and remove a "quite extensive" amount of jewelry.
That total amount is still being calculated by the shop owner, he said.
Police believe they have footage of a person leaving the Riverfront Center in that timeframe, but are unsure if it is indeed the suspect as the center was still open to the public when the burglary was discovered.
There are no suspects at this time. The burglary is still under investigation.

Weekend Menu
Here's the thing about cooking on vacation: You're on vacation. Yes, cooking is a pleasure, but so is a nice nap on a deck chair. The perfect getaway allows you to fit both in.
We combined a little bit of make-ahead planning with some double-duty ingredients to build a menu of easy, straightforward meals that feed four deliciously and healthfully—from Friday night cocktails and dinner to Sunday brunch—without ever resorting to boring standbys like cereal, cold-cut sandwiches, and chips.
How do you get all this food to wherever you're going? That's the easy part: All the cold items you'll need fit into a single large cooler. (Yes, we measured it.) Everything else fits in a grocery tote or two. And for the most part, you'll use every ingredient you bring.


text: I am SO FRUSTRATED. My son is 3m. Since being back at work, my milk has been slowly decreasing. I am barely getting 1 oz. a day now (TOTAL). It is ridiculous. I am doing everything - drinking the tea, taking fenugreek, eating oatmeal, drinking beer. I just started Reglan yesterday. I have bought every size of shield there is. UGH!!! I want to pull my hair out. Why does this have to be so hard. I have to work longer days to make up for the time I spend pumping and it's not really worth it because I'm not getting any milk. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?


text: My baby is 10 days old and he seemes to want to feed every time I hold him. Even when he just finished 20/30 minutes ago he tries to feed if I am holding him. He will usually fall asleep or just be content if someone else is holing him. Is this normal? I am guessing it is but will it change? I want to hold him but I dont want to feed all day, every day, every time! He is feeding every 2 to 3 hrs normally.

Thats the next serial killer.Omen502 posted:10/14/2011 3:28:23 AM I'm still trying to figure out what the werewolf was wanting and the fact that it wasn't the guys place well. This story being that it wasnt his house and he also tried to first clean then burn his clothes. The cops see way beyond reasonable suspicion that he made up this story. but who knows. as for the toe sucking thing. If it is the right woman with the right clean feet......maybe. I have heard and seen much worse. I question the hygeine of these "girls" and wonder what goes through someones mind to be so strongly attracted to a certain body part. Well....wait......did I just say that. ok well a body part as in feet for that matter. I was in the Everglades recently and came acrossed a man in the hotel room next dorr who was in a wheelchair and had limited walking ability. He was a nice guy seemingly and then I started noticing. Everytime he would speak he was fine. When I began speaking he would look away from me and his lips would word out what I was saying. When I started to feel uncomfortable about this. I stopped talking and kind of looked at him funny. I didn't want to be rude so I finished what I was saying and he was quite knowledgeable of the nazi regime and other conspirative events. Then he tells me of a woman who had done him wrong and took his money. He then says he loves to smell thier feet. I look at him with a almost disgusting look, mainly because this guy was not the model type and the only women I see him with are "foot-draggers" (funny the name would happen to be that...lol) Anyway so he goes on to tell me he loves to smell thier shoes and he likes it when they stink. ok. now I feel like throwing up. Clean feet are one thing but when you start to like the smell of someones shoe or footjam toe odor this can't be right. I don't know but this doesn't appeal to me. I guess is why it's called a fetish. Well, I think I am going to go take a shower......lolLincolnGenghis posted:10/14/2011 10:55:53 AM Maybe the guy in the wheel chair and the toe guy could get togather and open up a shoe store. They could have the werewolf guy work the counter.Omen502 posted:10/15/2011 11:41:06 AM Well if I walk into a shoe store and two guys try to suck my toes they are not going to like my reaction at all.....lol Please log in or become a member to add a post.

I used to own one (not the EX model). It was actually pretty good. Sound quality kinda reminded me of the 303. I agree, scabs ... I wish I could get my hands on an EX model.

Does this have that vinyl sim that the 202 and 303 has?
Posted 02 March 2012 - 03:55 PM
303 or an mpc, and a computah will do it all plus more. But if you can find one sub $300, it still is pretty good. I would jump on it if it were.

I paid $100 for the one I had from a pawn shop ... I sold it for $300 and bought a Roland Alpha Juno (which I then sold to stack up on a bunch of VST instruments). I kinda miss it though ... It was kind of complex for no reason at all but that gritty sound is classic

A Series of Serious Non Sequiturs
Because sometimes the world just doesn't turn in a logical direction…
Tragically, Six Shot Dead in Chicago Over the Weekend…
…Cub fans were quick to blame the absences of a healthy Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.
Guy Tells Me I Should Read His Blog About His Fantasy Baseball Team Because "It's Awesome"…
…said guy subsequently found not to have been laid since 1998.
Cardinals Make Deal to Land Mark DeRosa…
…he ain't Matt Holliday; but even Matt Holliday ain't Matt Holiday anymore. I like this move, if for no other reason than the fact that it has caused mass hysteria for Cub fans who regret seeing him go to make room for the $30 million .232 hitting Milton Bradley.
Washington Nationals Designate Kip Wells for Assignment…
…because if Dave Duncan couldn't fix him, no one can (nor cares to)?
Coup Overthrows Honduran President Manuel Zelaya…
…thus proving that the recipe for success in South America is violence… and dictatorship… and coffee. Lots of coffee.
Cub Fan Heard Slamming White Sox Fan By Referencing the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, Again…
…same fan responsible for blaming six shooting deaths on the absences of a healthy Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.
MLB to Launch Streaming Video of Live In-Market Padres Games…
…this AMAZING feature comes just before you realize that a) the Padres su<k b) there are so many other, more exciting things to do in San Diego like Sea World, Chargers training camp and, of course, Mexico and c) Yes, David Eckstein is that short in real life.
Clint Hurdle Settling in as Analyst on the MLB Netowrk…
…even though his makeup gives him an orangish appearance on television, we shouldn't focus on the fact that he was just fired by the Rockies, or that since his departure the Rockies have gone on a mad winning streak. We should be watching Hurdle like we watch the ugly girl at the dance: with a bottle of Jack and a heart full of sympathy.
Republican Governor Mark Sanford Returns to the Office After Screwing Argentinian for 8 Whole Years…
…because apparently having bad taste is a prerequisite to running the state of South Carolina.
And finally…
Nick Green Doing A Great Job As Red Sox Shortstop…
…mostly because his name is not Julio Lugo.
Of course, Green would do a lot better job if he happened to be a healthy Mark Prior or Kerry Wood.
You know this.
So don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

They get so wound up by coffee they have all this nervous energy, so must get it out somewhere.
And hey, read my blog! http://www.cardinal70.com!
LOL…out loud! (Yes, I stole that line from "Monk"). Love the Green/Lugo bit! And thanks for answering the Eckstein question…as I watched the Rangers drop two of three to the Stream-Worthy Padres I was asking myself that very question…RSBS to the rescue! :^)
hahaha you nailed the Kerry Wood and Mark Prior thing, this post had me cracking up.
New post is up: http://payoffpitch.mlblogs.com/
Haha, you're funny. The Padres do NOT su*k🙂 David Eckstein is tiny… tiny enough to be three inches taller than me.
Cardinal70 — Will do. And I wish the coffee were the only culprit😉
Dillon — Thanks!
Jonestein — That Eck is a pesky 'lil fella. WS MVP in '06 though. Don't wanna mess with him.
Phi8008 — They're still using that mantra. Seriously.
Hyunyoung — Sorry… but ya gotta admit, they're not good. Just look at the loss column😉
Julia — Yep… but again, you could put Kermit the Frog at SS and he'd be better than Lugo.
Jeff, that was an insult to Kermit. Actually, I feel bad for Julio. Hey, I've got an idea: let's hold a fundraiser for Mr. Lugo since we all know he'll be out of baseball soon enough. I think we should raise about $9 million for him so he can get through the next year in the style he's accustomed to. What's that? The Red Sox are already paying him $9 million for next season? Gee, that's awfully generous of them.
Steve T.
Julio Lugo is a pathetic excuse for ****. I only see him valuable for a pinch runner.
I also found the rumored steroid list:UNCONFIRMED!!!!
its here on my blog.
Steve — How about Lugo has a fundraiser for us, for our suffering of watching him play so poorly while making so much $$$. That's a better idea, one that even Kermit might like.
Nick — Yes, at the very least he has some legs still. So do I, but I ain't makin' no $9 mil. LOL.
Jeff- Clint Hurdle's face is usually just that orange-ish color. While managing the Rockies, it always looked red, which made him always look drunk. Maybe that's why the Rockies were always losing…
Emily — Somethin' tells me they're playing well in a drunken fury now😉

A 60-year-old rural Ethiopian villager seeking a second wife purchases 13-year-old Mahabouba for $10. Seven months pregnant by age 14, she flees savage whippings at home, running away to give birth alone. Labor lasts seven days. Mahabouba loses her baby, her pelvis rots; she can't control her bowels or bladder; she can't even walk or stand. Hyenas circle, lured by her blood. Then, Mahabouba, who is profoundly brave, crawls to a missionary one town over, inching forward on her arms. She lands at the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital and recovers there, at "puddle city", as the devoted, progressive staff fondly jokes, since patients drip urine all day long (floors are mopped many times hourly).
Pulitzer Prize-winning husband and wife journalists Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn root out the barbaric injustices brutalizing Mahaboubas all across developing nations in Half the Sky, a magnificent, roaring abolitionists' plea to shoulder the burden of female oppression by empowering our fellow humankind. "This is a story of transformation," they urge.
Wife abuse; fistulas; sex slavery; honor killings; female genital mutilation (vaginal openings are sewn up with a wild thistle); illiteracy; sex-selective abortion; starvation; AIDS; and the epidemic of rape are among the hard, heavy contents of this book. Yet Half the Sky, as navigated by Kristof and WuDunn, transcends its narrative of despair with vivid, descriptive language and by balancing meticulous gumshoe reporting with intimate profiles in gender inequality. "What You Can Do" is the book's uplifting final chapter, ticking off immediate ways for listeners to connect with women in need.
Cassandra Campbell whose low pitch and measured pacing lend dignity to the mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters whose horrors she's voicing masterfully narrates Half the Sky. Campbell is a journalistic narrator, too much a pro to nuance her reading with shock or hysterical outrage. This restraint is most appreciated during exceptionally anguished confidences, as when Zoya Najabi of Kabul reveals her mother-in-law once shredded the soles of her feet with a stick "until they were like yogurt". Nita Rao
An old Chinese proverb says, "Women hold up half the sky." Then why do the women of Africa and Asia persistently suffer human rights abuses?
Continuing their focus on humanitarian issues, journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn take us to Africa and Asia, where many women live in profoundly dire circumstances....and some succeed against all odds.
A Cambodian teenager is sold into sex slavery; a formerly illiterate woman becomes a surgeon in Addis Ababa. An Ethiopian woman is left for dead after a difficult birth; a gang rape victim galvanizes the international community and creates schools in Pakistan. An Afghan wife is beaten by her husband and mother-in-law; a former Peace Corps volunteer founds an organization that educates and campaigns for women's rights in Senegal.
Through their powerful true stories, the authors show that the key to progress lies in unleashing women's potential, that change is possible, and that each of us can play a role in making it happen.

"If you have always wondered whether you can change the world, read this book. Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn have written a brilliant call to arms that describes one of the transcendent injustices in the world today." (Fareed Zakaria, author, The Post-American World)
"This unabridged book is abridged"
The book itself is excellent, although very intense. Eye-opening about the extent of violence against women and girls, and inspiring in terms of the stories of people who have challenged the status quo and brought about important changes.
However, be aware that this unabridged book is abridged in some places. I was reading along in my Kindle version, while listening, only to discover that a section of text was left out. At the end of Chapter 4, the print version has this text included in the last paragraph, but it is eliminated from the Audible version: "In 2009, Mukhtar married a policeman who had long pleaded for her hand. She became his second wife, making Mukhtar an odd emblem of women's rights, but the marriage proceeded only after the first wife convinced Mukhtar that this was what she genuinely wanted. It was another unusual chapter in an unusual life."
I haven't been comparing the print and Audible versions systematically, but now I'm wondering what else was eliminated (censored?). If the book were listed as abridged, I would have no problem with text being left out. But the fact it's identified as unabridged and then eliminates text makes me angry and mistrustful of other Audible books. Add to this the fact that the text that was eliminated contains content that would be uncomfortable to many Western, Christian sensibilities and I get even more angry. Is someone censoring Audible's books?
Knowledge is knowing the way. Wisdom is looking for an alternative, more interesting road to get there. Audiobooks are that road.
""Women hold up half the sky""
Women are the most under utilized resource in third world countries. By bringing you personally into each of the girl's lives, and describing in great detail each story as it unravels, you become entwined in their circumstance. You wonder if each one lives, dies or prospers through their terrifying story. Nick Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn bring the plight of injustice and brutality of women in third world countries to your heart and mind through first hand experiences. You will read about sex trade and how the men who run the brothels keep the girls addicted to drugs, about gang rapes which often end up in mutilation, causing fistulas where feces and urine can no longer be contained, about lack of health facilities, birth control and education. You will read about violence and abuse of wives, not only by their misogynistic husbands, but also by their mothers in law, and you will understand what FGM is (female genital mutilation or "cutting").
This is not an easy book to get through, it is hard and real life, but not without at least giving you some hope to help. What I took away from this, is even I can make a difference. The authors explain in detail about micro financing and how you can loan small amounts of money, which will empower women to rise above their situations. They give examples of organizations who pair you up with real people so you can see first hand your positive results. Through Organizations like Kiva, Women for Women Int., Heifer Int., Girls Learning Int., American Jewish World Service and many others, you can actually make a difference in someone's life. When I was finished, I couldn't wait to do my part. In summary, although this book is enlightening, it is also preachy, but without bringing these stories into your soul, and tugging at your conscience and heart strings there would be no change in the world....change that is so badly needed.
"Great Book - But Not a Great Audio"
Still listening to it but I am sorry I am hearing it instead of reading it. The narrator sounds like she is reading a menu. The subject is so compelling and overwhelmning but that is DESPITE the robot rendition. Maybe you can`t dramatize a non-fiction book and it would be inappropriate to have a narrator screeching and screaming but the flat automaton read style does not work. But this is just my personal take - the content is enough to change your mind forever.
This is a book everyone needs to read... men and women! Well written, shilling, inspiring, and though provoking but more important action provoking! This is not just a book you ask someone after reading "what you think"- you ask "what did you do!"
"It could be great, but it's not"
I was really looking forward to this book because not only the subject matter, but the women facing extraordinary challenges need much more attention. This book could have been really amazing, but I found the narrator to be tiresome and monotone. There was no energy, no realness, no compassion in her voice, there were just words. In terms of the writing style, it was repetitive and at times it was preachy.
In all, the message is obviously worthwhile and the personal stories about individual women really make this book, which is why I gave it three stars and not less. But the narration was subpar and I gave up on it. I'm going to read it instead.
"If You Care About Human Rights"
Truly, a wonderful book -- if you care about human rights and, more importantly, want to read a riveting book at the same time, you will love it. There are many anecdotes throughout about real life situations that are happening today all over the world; in particular, the abuse of women. However, rather than just telling about the plight of women, the authors cite many positive examples of how providing women freedom brings benefits to nations, and refers to China as a glowing example. This book opens your eyes wide and it has changed my view completely and I will begin to focus more on causes that help girls and education. Reading some of the Amazon reviews for this book provides much information on how to get involved, written by people already involved and knowledgeable. The book is an eye opener because it is truly incredulous to hear about what goes on regarding women still, today, in many countries This is a must read for everyone. It must be understood by all how much of a sad waste of resources lies in bringing women into the fold of society in a positive way, instead of using them as slaves and worse.
Author of "Leadership Principles for Project Success" (CRC Press, 2010)
"Powerful stories"
no theory but actual, very moving stories
variety of stories
This book makes you think and can touch you deeply. Why? Because these stories are real, they are narrated beautifully in a way that you can easily relate to the individuals in the stories. In addition, I have never listened to an audiobook or read a book where the English was so impeccable.
"Highly Informative"
Moving, informative, actionable
Specific examples of female abuse likely barely known by those who have not lived or had extend stay experience in poor countries - especially outside of the US, overall maternal health issues, and benefits plus lack of women education - sex trade is terrible...but many other terrible abuses.
Yes, because of interest BUT no practical becuause of time and need to absorb and reflect
First rate...held my attention and looked forward to next opportunity to resume listening.
"Shook up my world vision"
This book is an incredible expose that should be mandatory reading for everyone in the "free world." Others out there are not as "free" as we think!
"A Must-Read for ALL Women"
Heartbreaking. Provocative. Motivating.
This book not only gives the listener/reader a window into the international plight of many females, but also directs one to many wonderful resources to begin to positively impact and assist those in need, even if from your computer.
Our Book Club read this as one of our monthly suggestions, very few of which are non-fiction, and all agreed that this had the most impact on us in a heartbreaking and motivating way realizing that everyone in America can, and should, help in a small, or big, way. We as a group now have chosen to make a donation by "passing the bucket" every month at our Book Club meeting to be a part of the change and solution through sponsoring education and Kiva micro loans for some of those in need.

Nanjing – Week 3Monday, June 27th, 2011
Another week gone… we've finished teaching at Amity's Home of Blessings last Friday. Another bittersweet moment as we said our goodbye's to one another. Reflecting upon "teaching" at the Home of Blessings, I find that my time was much more of a learning experience. We taught English in the mornings for about an hour. And then we did arts and crafts with the students where we learned how to make flowers from beads. We also did a small presentation on American culture, and afterwards the students talked to us about aspects of Chinese culture. Mutual exchange…. I remember how during orientation Ms. Carino, one of the Amity staff, talked about how at the core of peace is trust. I'm beginning to really see the truth in that statement. It's really once you enter into a person's life, see their humanity, and understand one another, that's where you find the beginnings of peace. There's no substitute for meeting a person in order to genuinely know someone. However, when we choose ignorance, when we choose to see someone as less than human, that's when the depravity of the human race becomes most apparent. A little tangent back to the Nanjing Massacre, when Japanese soldiers were asked how they were able to commit the atrocities that they did, many said that they had to view the Chinese as less than human. Thus that's why for peace to be possible people truly have to understand and trust one another, to see that other people are human beings as well. Then once that realization occurs you can begin to genuinely care for someone.

Autodesk, which has been running a teaser ad campaign promising that on 11//29/2011 "everything changes," has announced their entry into the PLM game: 360 Nexus.
As part of their rollout, they've published a paper titled "Autodesk Extends Benefits of PLM to Everyone at Anytime, from Anywhere." Volume 1. Catchy title – I'm curious if they've bought the domain name?
Of its 10 pages, the first 2 and the last 4 are marketing content. The middle 4 pages are a summary of some research from Gartner analyst Marc Halpern.
That's the interesting part.
Halpern points out some things that big PLM vendors might not be thrilled about having said out loud. Here are some of his research findings:
"A growing number of Gartner clients are frustrated by the high cost of purchasing, deploying and upgrading PLM software. "
"PLM software vendors do a better job providing technical support for their software than providing more general business- related advice and services. "
"A Gartner survey suggests manufacturers pay substantially more when they contract PLM software vendors for business consulting beyond the technical details of implementations. "
"Several of Gartner's manufacturing clients have commented that software vendors often recommend the purchase of more PLM software as a routine part of service engagements. "
"Transitions to PLM platforms such as Dassault Enovia v.6, Oracle Fusion, PTC's Creo [I think that's a typo, and he meant Windchill], SAP's ECC 6 and Siemens Teamcenter Unified are stimulating more needs for services that these software vendors want to profit from. "
In short, the big PLM vendors are charging a ton for services, and customers are still disappointed.
Halpern's recommendations based on these findings center around the idea that manufacturers should not use PLM vendors service organizations for anything but the technical details of deploying their software. He suggests manufacturers either do business process re-engineering in house (which Gartner, in the past, has said most companies lack the skills to do), or engage professional service organizations (which presumably won't try to load them up with extra software.)
I'm guessing that Halpern isn't getting any Christmas cards from SAP, Oracle, Siemens, Dassault, or PTC.
The Autodesk Approach
I'm guessing that Autodesk wouldn't have paid Gartner for the right to use their research if it didn't play into their PLM strategy with 360 Nexus.
I've not seen 360 Nexus. The best I can say is that I've read articles about it, including Al Dean's article at Develop 3D, and Ken Wong's article at Desktop Engineering.
My impression is that, with 360 Nexus, Autodesk probably has a really interesting SaaS cloud-based BPM system bolted to a PDM.
But, even if I give it the benefit of the doubt for its technical chops (and, remember, it's not shipping yet), I can't see it changing "everything" (as promised by Autodesk's teaser ad campaign.)
First, because PLM is traditionally enterprise software. Trying to compete in the PLM space is like trying to compete in the ERP space. It's not going to be easy — the big vendors are nearly impossible to displace (think: competitive lock-out.)
And, second, because Autodesk isn't the only company that's thinking out of the PLM box. There are others.

Amanda is a beautifully made long straight monofilament wig that is breathable and lightweight for the utmost comfort. Amanda-Long Monofilament Mono Top
Virtually invisible monofilament base. Mono Tops give the appearance of actual hair growth straight out of the scalp. Each Mono Top piece features a 1/8-inch Swiss Lace front with over and under hand-tied hairs to simulate a natural hairline.
Supremely natural hair movement. Every hair in the monofilament top is individually hand-tied, one strand at a time. Each hair can move and swivel freely, just as hair moves when growing from a follicle. A Mono Top hairpiece will never appear stiff, bulky or artificial.
Unlimited styles, perfect fit. Mono Top wigs can be styled and parted in any direction, just like natural hair. The Mono Top design also reduces weight and hair density on the top of each piece. With their light weight, smooth fit, and the option to secure adhesive to polyurethane strips inside the front hairline and ear tabs, Mono Top wigs feel perfectly customized.
Tip: We recommend that ONLY a wide tooth comb is used to style and/or detangle your new Jon Renau HD wig.
Most manufacturers identify cap sizes differently. Use this guide to help identify the capsize circumference of a wig. To find your cap size for a wig or hairpiece, use a flexible fabric or plastic tape measure and place one end in the middle of your forehead (just touching your front hairline), then wrap the remaining tape around the back of your your head just above your neck hairline behind your ears and then back to the middle of your forehead. Take this measurement and use the below chart to help select the correct size for your cap!

I just picked up Frank n' Dank's first disc "48 Hours" and it's pretty dope. But now I hear all this talk about a new LP with Dilla and OhNo. hiphopsite.com has a review of it (3/5), and FnD's website has the LP for sale. Jugding by what I've heard of the new one, I'll be grabbin the CD when it drops (10/24 I believe). But I'm wondering if anyone's copped this yet and if so how it is?

I've had the Canadian release of Extended Play for a while now. It's not as good as 48 hours - only 3 dilla beats and 2 (maybe 3) ohno beats. There are some other producers on there whose beats I'm not feeling whatsoever. I'm not sure what is changing on the updated release (Extended Play Version - ?). 7/10 for the Canadian release.

New to Dynafit's line, the Huascaran is the company's most flotacious offering. For its size, it's as light as anything on the market, which saves your legs but causes some stability issues at speed. The turn shape is smooth and forgiving, and the ski wants to surf. Plenty of rocker makes it a great deep-day ski, but it also handles smooth cream cheese and smushy corn exceptionally well.
135/114/124 | $900 3,700 grams per pair Lengths: 167, 177, 186, 196 Radius: Multiple Sample: 186
