I noticed a better supply by taking 9 fenugreek tabs a day. 6 just didn't cut it for me. Mother's Milk Tea also really helps me. Oatmeal helped me, too, but we had to stop because my son is allergic to it.

I wish I knew why my milk levels were low -- they just have been since he was about 2 months old. I've done everything to try to increase supply -- go on nursing/pumping vacations, nurse constantly almost, work on latch, take fenugreek and domperidone (am still taking domperidone). I produce almost enough for him to be exclusively breastfed, but he's supplemented about 4 oz per day of formula and he's eating a bit of solids now -- he showed interest and just loves eating sweet potatoes and avocados! I really think that my supply is very very sensitive to not getting enough protein in my diet, and stress (am defending PhD soon). Thanks for the post!
I think what LLL LactoJen was getting at is why do you think your supply is low? Do you think your supply is low because of how frequently he nurses or because of how much you can pump out? Don't judge what you are making by what you can pump out. Pumping is a skill that can take time to develop and everyone's body reacts differently to it. Remember that there is no "rule" as to how often a baby should be nursing. If you nurse on demand, then your body will make the milk he needs. Does he seem satisfied after he feeds? Is he gaining weight and making at least 5 wet diapers (disposable) a day? Then he's probably getting just what he needs and you're making what he needs. Also know that as long as you are supplementing, then your body isn't being told to make that extra milk so it never will. If you stop supplementing, then you will likely notice your son wanting to nurse more frequently for a few days until your supply adjusts.
That said, you mentioned being under alot of stress and I personally have found stress to limit my ability to letdown very easily and maybe to a lesser extent to limit my supply. It might help you to find a way to release the stress or to find time to relax, but that's probably gonna be hard to do until you are done defending your PhD. A yoga class might be helpful!
And just so you know you're not alone, both of my sons were frequent nursers. My first one nursed nearly every hour to an hour and half. People frequently told me I should supplement him, but i never did and he grew just fine and is a smart and funny 3 year old now. His pediatrician and the hospital lactation consultant told me I was doing everything just right so I never worried about it. My second son has been a constant night nurser. He can easily go 3 or 4 hours during the day (with solid foods in between sometimes), but wakes up about every hour and half to 2 hours from the time he goes to bed until he gets up in the morning. He didn't do this at all from birth to two months, but from then until now (11months) he's beeing waking up. There is nothing wrong with it... other than my interupted sleep! I get better sleep by bringing him to bed with me the first time he wakes up after I've gone to bed. That way I fall asleep while he's nursing and can rest until he wakes me the next time. Oh, and as for pumping, I have gotten really good at bfing my babies, but have NEVER managed to pump well. It takes me 3 pumping sessions to make 4 oz! So I just don't bother unless I'm going out and want to leave some milk for him, and then I start pumping a week ahead of time.
Sorry this got so long! I just felt really bad that you are having these worries. Maybe LLL LactoJen will be back and have some more comments to help you, but it sounds like you're doing what you need to be doing and maybe worried about a problem that you think you have but doesn't really exist? Good luck on your PhD and try to relax!

How to tell if your breastfed baby is getting enough milk!
I know my supply is low because he's had weight gain issues, he's not satisfied at the breast. We don't go longer than 2 hours without nursing, I'd say in general he nurses every 1 to 1.5 hours. I've done weeks of the nursing/pumping constantly bit, go to a lactation consultant, have even been in contact with Jack Newman, a well-known breastfeeding guru. I'm not on the verge of giving up breastfeeding or nightfeeding, was just wondering if his lack of draining the breast at night might be a contributor to my low supply. Some women truely have a low supply, and unfortunately I am one of those women! In any case, we're making the best of it that we can. Thanks for your comments and advice!
Ah, okay. Are you still seeing a lactation consultant?

How to tell if your breastfed baby is getting enough milk!
I would recommed trying Traditional Medicinals Organic Mother's Milk Herbal tea. I put the mother's milk tea bag with the Traditional Medicinals Organic Raspberry Leaf (supports the Female system) bag. I started drinking the tea the minute I was able to in the hospital, and I think the tea is the reason why my milk supply is so great! I mix the two because the Mother's milk alone dosen't taste so great. You can get the Tea at Vitamins cottage Whole Foods and Wild Oats. My son was about a month old and I had stopped drinking the tea only because I ran out, and I tell you what my milk supply started going down, so I went to the store, and I now drink about 1-2 cups a day. You should really try it!!
LLLnormaR: How is this possible? With all due respect, it just doesn't make sense to me. Please explain if you will. Thanks!Originally Posted by LLLnormaR
Hi Meg - good question!Originally Posted by megmcgarry
It is because of the way the breast works. Let me explain.
When a woman births a baby, her hormone levels change and tell her body to start releasing colostrum, the first milk. Over the next 10 to 14 days, her milk gradually becomes more mature and greater in volume.
Even if she does not put her babe to her breast, she will still produce milk and, eventually, find herself engorged. After the while. however, her milk supply will gradually diminish, because a secondary system comes into play. When this happens, the supply is totally dependant on milk removal. If the mother does not nurse or pump, her milk will simply disappear.
To establish a good milk supply, mothers need to feed their babies often, usually about 8 to 12 times in every 24 hour period, during the first few weeks. It takes about 6-8 weeks to establish a supply, and about the same length of time for the baby to learn how to nurse.
The amount of milk a mother produces is directly related to the amount that is removed from her breasts. She can HELP her supply - if there is a problem - by nursing more frequently. Some mothers also take various herbs and drugs, but they ONLY work if the mother ALSO nurses (or pumps) more often.
Nursing mothers do need to drink enough to keep their bodies hydrated, but this is usually achieved by simply drinking when thirsty. In fact, too much water can have the opposite effect, and suppress the milk supply!
Meg, please let me know if I have answered your question adequately and if there is anything else you would like to know.
I never believed in the power of OATMEAL until 2 days ago. Have a nice bowl for breakfast and dinner with some maple syrup, it does wonders !! Thanks to all the ladies who mentioned oatmeal, awesome advise !

ladies pls help.
i sit here with terribly sore nipples. my little girl won't sleep unless she's latched on. she was a good co-sleeper until recently. i don't know what has happened. she's always taken long to nurse down and "pop"off ....now it's taking two hrs for bed and she's asleep for 5-10 minutes before she is searching for my nipple again. i am officially a human pacifier and it's getting worse every day. i can't sleep when she's constantly searching for my breast. If i don't sooth her with my breast-she cries. she was at least last week nursing and then sleeping 3 hrs before needing me again. in desperation i've tried a pacifier-no luck.
we think she might have a mild case of reflux and is terribly gassy (despite my diet being void of any gas producing foods (no chocolate or cows milk either) she's tooting and waking with gas pains often (i can feel the rumbles and gas popping on the side of her belly) I can only think that the constant sucking helps the gas pressure but I'm tired-way over tired and all sucked out!
any thoughts?????????

Take 'em to Church
Which MLB player attends religious services every Sunday?
Well I'm sure many do, but one player stands out as one of the holiest players in the league.
Now I am not totally sure of Church's religious background, it was just a lame attempt at a joke.
Anyway, getting back on track here, the Pirates have reportedly signed outfielder Ryan Church to a one year, 1.5million dollar deal.
The former 14th round pick of the Indians really made a name for himself when he was a National. During his four years with the organization, his numbers really never stood out.
His highest batting average was .287 in 2005. His
highest home run total was 15 in 2007. His OPS numbers range from the upper .700s to mid .800s. Nothing to brag about there, but Church is widely regarded as a reliable, yet solid player.
Church spent brief and injury prone years in New York and Atlanta. He gained national attention in a bigger market playing for the Mets. His power numbers digressed after leaving Washington and so did his playing time. He was used in 4th outfielder capacity for both teams but still did his best to strive in the position he was in.
Church, now 31 and a seasoned league vet has always been a favorite player of mine. I have literally had the privelege of following him from the very beginning of his professional career.
Church was drafted by Cleveland in 2000. The Mahoning Valley Scrappers, short season A ball, usually recieve the top draft picks of the organization literally days after they are signed. It has been great watching former Indians stars such as C.C. Sabathia and Victor Martinez has been a real treat back in my hometown.
Church arrived on the scene in that summer and was a hot player destined for greatness right away. He was named New York Penn player of the week muliple times, a legaue leader in home runs and RBIs and just an exciting player to watch.
It is not very often a player in short season A ball makes a name for himself right out of the gate. Not only is there high turnover rates this low, the fans really do not look that much into these very young players.
As a pre-teen boy I was in awe of Church. Every Scrappers game I went to I would bug Ryan for his autograph. I never did get it though. The crowds were hyped full of tee-ball league players getting autographs as well. I was always too late. Now that he is a Pirate, I plan on earning his signature and explaining to him how he snubbed me some ten years ago.
Church's role on the Pirates will be unique. He will probably be th 4th outfielder for Pittsburgh, a role he is already used to. With Lastings Milledge and Andrew McCutchen inked into the left and center field positions the right field spot is definitely up for grabs. Brandon Moss and Church will be in the running for the starting spot, however, more than likely Garrett Jones will be the guy the Pirates are most comfortable with manning the outfield grass.
I would rather put Jones at first to give Church the starting position in right. But Jeff Clement looks to be the starting first baseman. Clement came to the Bucs via the Mariners and is considered quite the hot prospect. He does not have very good game experience in the big show, but he is a minor league prodigy. I am skeptical though because I honestly have to see it to believe it.
With the addition of Church the Pirates have just one more bench spot to fill. Brandon Moss and Delwyn Young will be competing for that final spot. This is a tough spot for me personally. I enjoy the potential of Moss, but he has never came through or lived up to any expectations. I hate to give up on him seamingly quickly considering he was part of the Jason Bay deal.
Delwyn Young on the other hand has exceeded expectations, my personal ones and that of Pirate fans. In what was really his first full big league season Young was a clutch hitter who had a knack for finding the holes to get the ball through. He ran out of gas at the end of the year and was really in a deep funk. Delwyn is one of my favorite players. He is likeable and brings a "fresh" feeling to the club.
It'll be an interesting race and a great storyline heading into Spring Training.

Interesting that you followed Church way back when he was just starting out and now he's a Pirate! Some things are just meant to be. I hope he performs well in Pittsburgh.
Ryan Church is a great addition to the Pirates. The losing season streak ends here, hopefully
I like this move for the Pirates. I think Church will probably play quite a bit in platoon roles to utilize his skills without jeopardizing his health. He seems to be the 2010 incarnation of Eric Hinske for the Bucs this year, at least in my mind.

Ah, more head scratching… Ryan Church? Really? This is the guy who was full of promise and never really ever filled that promise. I feel like the Pirates keep taking swings but they keep missing and don't swing at the best pitch — proverbially speaking of course (though a literal interpretation could be handled here just as easily).
I Remember this Vin Scully quote ""Strike three, and an angry Ryan Church saying things you cannot say in church". Let's hope that he does not have many of those strike three.
Church seems to be one of those guys that has been given a few bad apples over his young career.
Just when he seems to have his hitting square and his baserunning is improving, a simple injury has derailed the guy.
But he a more than able guy to have in your outfield. I actually had him on my MLBloggers Fantasy team becuase he can go on a bit of a streak and get some great hits and needed RBIs.
I think this might be another under the radar pick-up by the Pirates that also might bring them back a nice haul at the Trade Deadline if he has a great year.

LINK: The Pirates are close to getting Dotel.
It seems the Pirates are getting everyone they want this winter. Good work by NH getting Church. Id take him over Ankiel any day.
I like it. The Pirates are filling out their bench. This is a sign that they are getting better…they are getting established mlbers to fill out their bench.
Ahhhh, Delwyn Young is also one of my favorite players. I was so sad to see him leave the Dodgers but it was a good move. He now can play rather than sit and watch everyone else. Before last season started I was able to get a picture taken with him. I'll post it on my blog when I get a chance. He is such a nice guy. The Pirates are lucky to have him.
Definitely right to be skeptical about young, unproven guys (see Brandon Allen). Poor Church…the Mets really mishandled his head injury.
I saw Ryan Church play as an Expo back in 2004, he was a top prospect then. Hope Pittsburgh can play him full time, just gotta hope he stays healthy.
Ryan Church had alot of potential, and I think still does have a lot of potential. He could have a breakout year anytime, although the window is quickly closing.
We got Bay …you got Church…MLB keeps spinning. I was a CHURCH follower. I was on his side. Manuel stabbed him in the back here and sent him floating down river. You got yourself a good player. I hope his head is clear.
I think that this was a good signing for the Pirates. I feel like he'll do well in Pittsburgh. And we both miss Jason Bay now, right? haha
Hi Matt, how are you doing?? Thanks for all the support. Congrats for making #44 in 2009 mlblogs!!

A gun in a hollowed-out book discovered at the Honolulu International Airport was one of the dangerous, scary and unusual items found by the Transportation Security Administration in 2012, according to The TSA Blog.
The book was discovered in March 2012. The gun had no cylinder.
TSA also says a knife was found in a hollowed out book at Kahului Airport (OGG) in June 2012.
The TSA screened more than 637 million passengers last year. That works out to about 1.7 million
More than 1,500 firearms were discovered in carry-on bags at checkpoints across the country. That's a little more than four firearms per day. Of those found, nearly 79 percent were loaded.
Firearms were found at a total of 199 airport in 2012, with the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at the top of the list with 95.
The following are a few of the more notable firearms incidents:
- A Portland (PDX) passenger put a pistol in potted plant, presumably in an effort to sneak it past us.
- A passenger at Providence TF Green Airport (PVD) had a disassembled gun and ammunition concealed in three stuffed animals.
- A pen pistol was discovered at Allentown (ABE).
- A 22 caliber magazine was discovered wrapped in aluminum foil inside a DVD player at Fresno (FAT).
- A BB gun in a book was discovered at Fargo (FAR).

I was just wondering if it was normal for about 30 or so seconds for it to be painful as the baby latches on? He is 2 weeks old and I know he istched on properly I cant really describe the pain but if this is normal when does it go away? And will it always hurt to latch him on in the future if this is normal??
Thanks in advance

Reviews of this property
We expected a lot of our stay at Coretta at NY. But a lot went wrong.
When we arrived we had to wait for 1.5 hour in front of th appartment because she didn't answer her phone and she forgot our arrival time.
We found a cockroach in the bathtub.
Our toilet was clogged.
We couldn't store our luggage. She only wanted to meet us again to pick up the luggage at a certain hour, but we wouldn't take the risk anymore. So as far as the luggage storage is concerned: you don't have any cotrol of you luggage at all.
NY is a great city, this appartment and especially the service wasn't at all.
Very nice apartment, excellent location as close to the metro and very helpful host. We can highly recommend this apartment
After one or two days, we have become so accustomed to that we already feel really had to live there. Coretta was very nice and accommodating and we can only recommend the hotel.
Nach ein bis zwei Tagen haben wir uns so sehr daran gewöhnt, dass wir schon das Gefühl hatten wirklich dort zu wohnen. Coretta war sehr nett und zuvorkommend und wir können die Unterkunft nur weiter empfehlen.
The pros:
Very welcoming Coretta, she gave us all the information we needed.
Apartment well equipped and comfortable
Great location: B26 bus stop is just down the building and the metro A to join Manatthan is within 10 minutes walk.
Near a super market for grocery shopper.
The -:
The neighborhood is a bit noisy (but it is relative: we live in the countryside in a very quiet ... so inevitably Brooklyn.)
We would have appreciated more blackout curtains
Conclusion: We had a very good stay Very good place, price / quality ratio: very satisfactory, to remember !!!
Coretta thank you
Les + :
Trés bon accueil de Coretta , elle nous a donné toutes les informations dont nous avions besoin.
Appartement bien equipé et confortable
Super bien situé : l'arrêt du bus B26 est juste en bas de l'immeuble et le metro A pour rejoindre Manatthan est à moins de 10 mn à pied.
Proximité d'un super-market pour faire les courses alimentaires.
Les - :
Le quartier est un peu bruyant ( mais il faut relativiser : nous vivons à la campagne dans un environnement particulièrement calme alors forcément Brooklyn ….)
Nous aurions apprécié des rideaux plus occultants
Conclusion : Nous avons passé un trés bon séjour, Trés bonne adresse , rapport qualité / prix : très satisfaisant , à retenir !!!
Merci Coretta
Lovely apartment with a nice decoration, clean, quiet and functional in Brooklyn. Near the metro station Nostrand Avenue, so it's very easy to go to Manhattan. I'd add that Coretta is a very nice person ! For my first time to United States, it was perfect ! I highly recommend this renting !
Everything was fine! I would definitely stay here again!
Coretta was really nice and there were some city and subway maps in the apartment waiting for us. The neighbourhood was safe. There were 3 locked doors between the street and the apartment but there was never any reason for concern, even when we were walking back to our apartment late at night. The neighboorhood is actually really worth exploring too; there are some nice restaurants and coffee places close by!
The apartment itself had everything you would need, it looked newly furnished and everything worked.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the noise at night (but thats just Brooklyn) and the heat coupled with the kinda noisy air conditioner which we couldn't turn on during the night for that reason.
Coretta was very helpful and pleasant giving us lots of info about how to move within the city and locally.
The apartment was lovely and warm and well equipped if needing some updating.
Just as in photos.
The position is great for visiting the city. No problem moving around.
Coretta assured us that the area was safe even though our taxi driver did his best to make us fearful. A predominantly black population of whom all we met and spoke to in the area were always kind and helpful.
Great supermarket close by. Metro 5mins walk with line direct to centre.
Maybe this is not the best time to visit NY as cold and wet or snowy.
Good connection to to JFK airport. No need for taxi.
Thank you Coretta for a lovely stay.
Beautiful family apartment downstairs newly done up. Highly recommend.
Beautiful apartment in a good location. We were here for 6 days felt very comfortable and experienced a great time in this insane city. The apartment is clean and functional and is located about 5 minutes walk from the metro station Nostrand Ave and Manhattan is thus reached in about 20-25 minutes. We have not felt unsafe in this part of Brooklyn, so we have moved too late in the evening to walk there without having concerns. Small grocery store nearby. Price-performance ratio is right here in any case. Good base for a few days in New York.
Schöne Wohnung in guter Lage. Wir haben uns hier 6 Tage lang sehr wohl gefühlt und eine tolle Zeit in dieser wahnsinnigen Stadt erlebt. Die Wohnung ist sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet und befindet sich ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß von der Metrostation Nostrand Ave und Manhattan ist dadurch in ca. 20-25 Minuten zu erreichen. Wir haben uns in diesem Teil von Brooklyn auch nicht unsicher gefühlt, sodass wir uns auch spät Abends dort zu Fuß bewegt haben ohne Bedenken zu haben. Kleiner Lebensmittelladen in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Preis-Leistung stimmen hier auf jeden Fall. Gute Basis für ein paar Tage in New York.
We had a great week in New York and in our apartment in Halsey Street. On arrival there was water and soft drinks in the fridge. The apartment is simple, clean and everything you need is available. The sofa bed was a bit hard and the bed was too short for our height. But we are accustomed to beds of 2.10! The shower did not work, but was repaired immediately, when we reported it. It was a fantastic experience to sit in a normal street in Brooklyn and we can recommend this to anyone! The metro stop Nostrand av was very close and the supermarket. A very convenient location from where to explore the city. Fam. Kraaijenbrink
Wij hebben een prima week gehad in New York en in ons appartement in Halsey Street. Bij aankomst stond er water en frisdrank in de koelkast. Het appartement is eenvoudig, schoon en alles wat je nodig hebt, is aanwezig. De slaapbank was wat hard en het bed was voor onze lengte te kort. Maar wij zijn aan bedden van 2,10 gewend! De douche werkte niet, maar werd meteen gerepareerd, toen wij het meldden. Het was een fantastische ervaring om in een gewone straat in Brooklyn te zitten en wij kunnen dit iedereen aanraden! De metrohalte Nostrand av was zeer dichtbij en ook de supermarkt. Een heel geschikte locatie om van daaruit de stad te gaan verkennen.

The Daily Mail features an article based off one professors internet-based survey on penis sizes. Selected countries and sizes in inches are
Republic of Congo - 7.1
Ecuador - 7
Ghana - 6.8
Columbia - 6.7
Iceland - 6.5
Italy - 6.2
South Africa - 6
Sweden - 5.9
Greece - 5.8
Germany - 5.7
New Zealand - 5.5
Canada - 5.5
Spain - 5.5
France - 5.3
Australia - 5.2
Russia - 5.2
Ireland - 5
Romania - 5
China - 4.3
India - 4
China - 4
Thailand - 4
South Korea - 3.8
North Korea - 3.8
The geographic trend is rough but is basically: East Asians have the smallest, the central core of Europe is the next smallest, next up is Mediterranean Europe, then the northern fringe of Europe, then South America, and finally Africa. Interestingly, Central Europe is smaller than Mediterranean Europe and northern Europe.
I wondered how the trend in penis size compares to average height. I was curious if the old saying of "the bigger the shoe, the bigger the tool" was true. I used open source data from Disabled World to see if the data matched.
What I found was that average height does not match average penis size. If it did, northern Europe would have the largest while most of Africa would be with East Asia with the smallest. Also, the original study of penis sizes said North Koreans and South Koreans are equally sized. However, a quick look at North and South Koreans shows that the diets are so different to the point South Koreans are noticeably larger.

Garden Theatre
160 West Plant Street,
Winter Garden,
6 people favorited this theater
Located in Winter Garden, Florida, the Garden Theatre, which was built and opened in 1935 as a 300 seat movie house, was shuttered in 1963. After being gutted and utilized as a warehouse for almost 40 years, the city of Winter Garden acquired the building, and has donated it to the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation for renovation.
The theater reopened February 1, 2008 as a 299-seat performing arts venue which also screens classic movies.

I received 2 CT notices tonight…one was the Garden Theatre in Winter Garden FL and the other was the former Winter Garden Theatre in Jamestown NY.

Great photo!
Picture of film being projected on the Garden Theatre's screen, October 2, 2010 View link
Saw a picture of the Garden Theatre in a recent Retirement Magazine. It was included in an article full of accolades about Winter Garden as a premiere retirement city. It stated that the theater had been restored, which I first thought was a typo for remodeled. Since the exterior didn't look too much like something from the
30's. But after seeing the various pictures posted, and the disaster it looked like in the late80's, I'd say they did a fantastic job. The only detail I would have changed, was installing the two adjacent storefront doors at either end of their respective window treatments. Like the 1949 picture above seems to have them situated. Might have been overlooked, or not consistent with current codes.
Here is my picture from June 2011.
Check out the new photo I just submitted showing a movie projected on the screen.

The Camel Hunt: Everyone Was Real Nice
During my first full day in Saudi Arabia I went looking for wild camels. I bought some apples to feed to the camels and made sure to bring the camera in case I was able to get a good Kodak-moment. I was unable to locate any roaming camels but I did find the Riyadh camel suq (market) while managing to drive for hours in the desert. During the hours in the desert I encountered several people, some who did and some who did not speak English. Everyone who I met was extremely kind to me. Everyone greeted me with the standard Islamic greeting "Assalamu Alikum." This was somewhat of a surprise as most orthodox schools of thought forbid the Asslamu Alikum greeting to Christians and other non-Muslims. No one in Iraq or Qatar has ever greeted me with Asslamu Alikum yet everyone in Saudi Arabia did.
Jeddah: Pro-Liberty, Pro-Woman
After the Al Baik adventure I was ready for bed. Peter, the "eight piece" friend, and me caught a taxi back to hotel. The taxi cab driver was in a fantastic mood, talking a mile a minute, and using his broken English skills to tell us about how "all Jeddah loves freedom."
The People versus the Religious Police (as told to me by the taxi cab driver and remembered by me): A female guest worker was doing gardening work. Apparently, too much of her hair was showing and a religious policeman took notice. According to the taxi cab driver, the religious police man went up to the woman and wacked her on the leg (I can vouch that this is standard practice by religious police to dress code violations). Other female guest workers saw this and jumped on the religious policeman. Other people, both men and women, walking nearby then got involved by joining in the anti-religious policeman beatdown.
Anti-religious policeman violence does happen in Jeddah. Some Hijazis still feel like they are occupied by Riyadh-based backwards, fundamentalist tribesmen.
Final Note
My time in Saudi Arabia ended after a week. I did not come down with a case of Orientalism but instead had my eyes open by the materially wealthy Qatar and the personally friendly but organizationally hostile Saudi Arabia. All I can hope is that all my future travels be as much of a learning experience as was my Middle East 2010 trip.

ALLEGHENY COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY CREDIT RATING IS RAISED BY MOODY'S ON REVENUE BONDS FOR PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PITTSBURGH, PA (May 21, 2013) – The Allegheny County Airport Authority recently received high marks in rating reports from Moody's. "This is great news for the Allegheny County Airport Authority. It demonstrates that despite the numerous challenges Pittsburgh International Airport has faced, that the Airport Authority has acted in a fiscally responsible fashion to ensure long term success for one of our region's most important assets," stated Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. "I think this is a successful result based upon recent events such as the lease agreement for gas drilling at the airport. The ratings agency recognized that Pittsburgh has been successful in converting from a hub to a market where most begin and end their trips here," said David Minnotte, Chairman, Allegheny County Airport Authority. From Moody's Report: Moody's Investors Services has upgraded to A3 from Baa1 the rating of the Allegheny County Airport Authority's Airport Revenue Bond. The outlook on all bonds is revised to stable from positive. SUMMARY RATING RATIONALE The rating upgrade to A3 from Baa1 is based on an increasingly economically varied origination and destination market, strong management that balanced the demands of protecting financial margins while attracting new air service, and the increased liquidity provided by an upfront payment from a third party operator for natural gas drilling rights. Additionally, non-airline related revenues from royalties from natural gas on the property will be applied against the rate base to lower airline costs and will provide additional unrestricted liquidity to pursue capital projects at the airport. The rating is still constrained by the airport's high operating costs due to stranded assets from the US Airways de-hubbing and an underfunded county-wide pension system which could place upward pressure on labor costs in future years. However, the authority is currently at peak annual debt service with annual requirements falling significantly after FY2017. STRENGTHS
OUTLOOK The stable outlook is based on a stability in the service area economy with upside potential for economic growth, continued stability in enplanement levels, and continued stability in the airport financial liquidity position. WHAT WOULD CHANGE THE RATING UP Sustained growth in the local economy, proven revenues from gas drilling royalties that reduce airline cost per enplanement below median levels, or accumulated liquidity above 600 days cash on hand could place positive pressure on the rating. WHAT WOULD CHANGE THE RATING DOWN Enplanement declines greater than 5%, reduced cash levels, or a reversal in the growth of the local workforce or local economic conditions could place negative pressure on the rating.

Vanquish ReviewBy Gus Mastrapa - Posted Oct 19, 2010
Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami takes aim at the American gamer with an over-the-top third-person shooter that reeks of bravado, second-hand smoke and gunpowder. But Vanquish is mostly flash.
The Pros
- A rare mix of American bravado and Japanese robot fetishism.
- Nifty and imaginative shooter mechanics.
- The best use of cigarettes since Metal Gear.
The Cons
- Very little replay value.
- Big action set pieces can't save the homogeneous campaign.
- The plot talks loud, but says nothing.
Vanquish, the new third-person shooter from Shinji Mikami and Platinum Games, is a strange beast. On one hand, the game has been crafted to appeal to Western audiences. The entire affair is a prolonged gun fight starring a pair of grizzled military men with more gravel in their throats then ten miles of freeway; however, it's still profoundly Japanese. Vanquish brims with silly cut scenes, giant robots and transforming space ships. It's also completely devoid of mutliplayer – competitive or otherwise – meaning you'll probably be done with Vanquish in a weekend.
Future Schlock
Shooters aren't known for their strong single-player stories. Some, like Gears of War, pull their chins above the very low bar for narrative. Vanquish just barely avoids clocking its forehead.
It's the not-so-near future and the economically ravaged Earth has sent a hunk of its population to live in a giant (totally not inspired by Halo) space station. An evil Russian, aiming to challenge America's supremacy, hijacks an orbital super-weapon and fries San Francisco. Our hero, Sam Gideon, joins a team of space marines (led by the laughably bulky Lt. Col. Robert Burns) on a mission to stop the Russians and their army of robots from destroying New York. Gunfights and boss battles ensue.
Gimme Cover
The meat and potatoes of Vanquish is a hearty meal. The gunplay is damn good. And unlike the COGs in Gears of War, Sam Gideon moves like he has someplace to go and his version of the "roadie run" is a jet-propelled power slide that feels all kinds of awesome to execute. Gideon's arsenal of weapons isn't anything to write home about, except for the fact that they slowly upgrade as you play. Grab ammo when your weapon's clip is full and it'll rank up. It's a clever little mechanic that makes you pause to think for the half-second breaks between firefights.
Vanquish is full of many similar nifty tweaks. Gideon, ignoring centuries of Surgeon General's warnings, can light up a cigarette when in cover. Flicking his smoldering butt will distract some enemies, allowing Sam to get the jump on them. With his high-tech armor at full capacity he can roll out of cover into slo-mo, shooting missiles out of the air and dodging individual bullets as they whiz past. Sadly, all these insanely cool parts don't add up to a cohesive whole. Rather, Vanquish's action unspools across five barely discernible acts, punctuated by several ambitious, but ultimately forgettable set pieces.
Extreme But Empty
When the curtain closes on Vanquish there's a palpable feeling that something is missing. Where Gears of War has killer co-op, Vanquish has only single-player tactical missions. You've got to really be in love with this particular brand of pop-and-stop gunplay to find that much replay value in this package.
Beyond this disappointing oversight there's something else lacking in Vanquish – a heart. The game rides the knife's edge between parody and guileless bluster so well that its impossible to tell exactly what the game has to say about anything. If Vanquish is poking fun at Solid Snake, Master Chief and every gun-toting videogame hero that has come since it does so with nary a wink. It's more likely that Shinji Mikami and company are like a cover band, rocking their shooter in the style of their favorite American hits. They may have the chops, but they can't write a tune to save their lives.

This month on our Second Friday Letter Writing Club board on Pinterest we're focusing on love (and Valentine's Day). We would love for you to join us in finding some great projects to send to our sponsored children.
Webster's Dictionary defines love as "strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties." As a Compassion sponsor, even though I have not met them yet, I definitely love my sponsored children. The tie that binds us together? Jesus. I know that He loves me, and I know that He loves my sponsored children.
Even though December can get quite busy with shopping, baking, parties, concerts and many other obligations, there is one thing each one of us can do to let our sponsored children know we love them: Sit down and write to them.
Write each month. And write with an eye to the future, when your sponsored child will receive your letter. Hence our December focus on Valentine's Day. 🙂
Your letter doesn't have to be long. It can be a short note. In fact, if you write your child online you'll be writing just a few paragraphs.
If you decide to send a handwritten letter, I've found a few things on Pinterest that you might like to include.
Here is a printable that would make a great reminder for your sponsored child that he or she is dearly loved.
And how about this one to encourage your sponsored child?
Looking for a few questions to ask your sponsored child? Try these.
- Who do you love?
- What do you love to do?
- What Bible verse do you love?
- What would you love to do when you grow up?
Have you joined our Second Friday Writing Club on Pinterest yet? If not, be sure to leave the URL for your Pinterest profile in a comment below, and I will add you to our growing group of "pinners"!

We get so many emails asking if it's worth it to buy an egg-shaped sponge and my answer is always a resounding YES! There's something gorgeous that happens when you apply your foundation it… it gives sheer but buildable coverage and best of all, is much faster than a foundation brush. And the pointed tip fits perfectly in the hard to reach areas around the nose and eyes. My favorites are the Sonia Kashuk Egg Sponge and Urban Outfitter's The Finished Edge Sponge because they're indented for your more control with your fingers and of course the original Beauty Blender for a lightness in density that is unmatched.
Most importantly, there are a few rules that I swear by to do it right (I can't tell you how many times I see people using them wrong) so pay close attention! (more…)

Jan Oendag bought two antique boxes for her daughters 30 years ago.
But only recently did she find a soldier's diary from World War I inside one of them.
"I like auctions," she laughed.
An auction in Standale is where Oendag bid on the wooden, book-shaped boxes.
"From what I can remember, someone told me this is where you put your Bible," she demonstrated.
Instead, she found a little black book. It was a shocking find, as it turned out to be the journal of a soldier. The entries had been written as he fought in World War I.
The dates were from 1918 and 1919.
"It's basically, day-by-day experience of what he went through in the war, where a couple of his buddies got shot. He thought one of the days was going to be his last days but he
lived," Oendag said.
Today, she feels compelled to give the lost items a permanent home where they'll have the most meaning.
"I would like this to go back to someone in his family. I think it would be a nice history," Oendag said.
But items inside the box provide few clues as to who the mystery soldier is. Alongside the journal were two empty envelopes from 1946.
They have stamps from the Netherlands. On one, it's hard to read the full name. The other is addressed to 'J. Bouman' of Grand Rapids.
A close scan of the diary and you can see that the author refers to himself as 'Bouman' on at least two occasions.
He often writes to his mother and to a woman named 'Bessie.' Other people are referred to as well.
According to notes in the journal, he sent letters to Detroit, Hastings, Hesperia, Center Lake and Hartford.
The couple turned to two other people for help in tracking down potential relatives of Bouman, but didn't get anywhere.
So they contacted FOX 17.
"Yea, when [my husband] seen FOX 17, he said let's try this and see if you guys can get a little further than what we did," Oendag said.

Shutter Speeds
The relationship between shutter speed and aperture is fundamental to the understanding of exposure and photography on the whole. While the latter primarily controls depth of field, the former can transform images with presence of blurred motion or, at the other extreme, freeze an instant of time by thousandths of second.
The term 'shutter speed' refers directly to how long the shutter within your camera remains open, and therefore how much light is able to reach the sensor. Shutter speeds are measured in seconds and fractions of seconds – the longer the shutter remains open at a set aperture, the more light will reach your camera's sensor, and vice versa.
Shutter Speeds – Which Shutter Speed
Which Shutter Speed
When looking to keep images sharp, a good general rule of thumb is thus – the maximum shutter speed you can use is 1/ your focal length. For example, take a focal length of 50mm – the longest shutter speed from which you can expect a sharp image is 1/50 second. Image stabilisation goes some way to extending this, but it's best not to rely on this if razor-sharp images are needed.
Should you be looking to produce panning shots with some action-based motion blur, somewhere around 1/15-1/30th will keep enough of the action sharp, yet provide discernible motion blur.
For long exposures, for example when capturing star trails or blurring moving water, a tripod will be required. Anything below 1/30th second won't retain absolute sharpness and much longer exposure times will be so great that handholding is impossible. Shooting in considerable darkness can take some practice too, as it's tricky to meter for available light. Trial and error goes a long way.
Then, of course, there's getting the overall exposure correct. It's not always possible to use a fast shutter speed due to low-light conditions, as much as a long exposure may become overexposed when there's too much light. A balance against available aperture can assist in partially accommodating for this, but this adds the consideration of depth of field control too.
1/4000th sec – Freezing motion
If you're shooting a particularly fast-moving subject, then a faster shutter speed will freeze the subject mid-action. 1/4000 is common for DSLRs, with 1/8000sec speeds available on top-end kit.
1/250th sec – Handheld sharpness
If sharpness is the name of the game then the faster the better, assuming a desireable aperture is being used. In good light and at regular focal lengths, around 1/250sec is a good marker.
1/30th sec – Panning
The art of panning combines a steady hand with an exposure just the right side of sharp. If the subject is steadily panned it will appear relatively sharp, while the motion-blur of the surroundings will add to the scene's dynamic.
Shutter Speeds – Shooting Modes
Shooting Modes
A variety of modes allow for shutter speed control. Auto and Program only allow the bare minimum of adjustments, and shutter speed is not one of them. Various scene modes on your camera are likely to alter the shutter speed to suit the subject.
Moving away from these settings to Shutter Priority or Manual modes will provide absolute control over the shutter – within the parameters of correct exposure for the former, and to any exposure time with the latter. One additional benefit of DSLRs, and some advanced compact cameras, is the ability to shoot in Bulb mode – this allows the shutter to remain open for an extended period of time, which is perfect for extremely long exposures.
Shutter Priority
Most DSLRs feature a dedicated mode dial, with shutter priority being clearly marked as an 'S' or 'Tv' option. This will differ depending on manufacturer, with the majority opting for 'Shutter' ('S'), but both Canon and Pentax using the 'Time value' ('Tv') marking. A further 'TAv' mode features on Pentax models that allows for control of both the shutter and aperture, with the camera auto-adjusting the ISO sensitivity.
Bulb Mode
One of the benefits of a DSLR is that it's possible to shoot in Bulb mode, thus enabling extended exposures well over the common 30 or 60-second maximum duration. Bulb mode enables creative images to be made, such as the motion of star movement taken over several hours. A remote release is useful to start and stop the shot. Also it's integral not to move the camera in shot, as hours of exposure time would be ruined with a slight knock.
Shutter Speeds – Get Creative
Get Creative
Fact File
Altering the amount of time your camera's shutter remains open increases the amount of light reaching the sensor. an extended exposure, when used well, makes creative motion and blurring effects possible.
Low light
Long exposures with the camera mounted on a sturdy tripod lend themselves well to capturing motion. This is no better illustrated than when shooting light trails in low light. Exposures slower than around 1/4 of a second, but ideally in excess of a few seconds, allow light motion to be captured. Other creative possibilities include using a torch to 'paint' with light or produce 'light writing'.
Take control of your shutter speed settings and get experimenting.

The NBA embarrassed itself with that call. LBJ takes 4 steps and no call, and then this...sad thing is when you play on a real basketball team your only allowed 1 1/2 steps, and then there are NBA rules...lol
I don't blame Jeremy for getting pissed at that call...ref should be fined
Traveling counts as TO.
In basketball, a turnover occurs when a player loses possession to the opposing team. This can result from the ball being stolen, the player making mistakes such as stepping out or throwing the ball out of bounds, or committing a violation (such as traveling) or committing an offensive foul.

Lin caught the pass w/the "wrong leg."
Would definitely be a travel by international standards, but you don't often see it called in the NBA.
For example all the players who catch the ball on the ground, bounce on their feet and then shoot, that's a travel. But you'll never see it called.
Crap call by NBA standards.

Castleton concerts founder leaves on sour noteBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | July 09,2014Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
A crowd listens to Satin & Steel perform Tuesday at the Castleton State College Pavilion as part of the Castleton Summer Concert Series.CASTLETON — For the first time in 18 years, the Castleton concerts are hitting the stage every Tuesday night without Dick Nordmeyer.
The man who started Castleton Concerts on the Green in 1996 stepped away this year, saying the concert series he started was moving in a direction he didn't like and he "resigned as a matter of principle."
A few years ago, Nordmeyer realized he needed help due to his advancing age. He went to Castleton State College and asked for assistance with the concerts and the college agreed.
CSC spokesman Jeff Weld said the college, as part of the community, has always been part of the concert series, offering assistance such as rain locations and technical assistance.
"He requested our help," Weld said. "He wanted to make sure the concert series continued to thrive. It was a simple and welcomed transition for us. The partnership was great in our eyes."
But Nordmeyer said there were issues from the beginning.
He chose his words carefully in an interview, saying he didn't want to bad-mouth the college.
But he said the way things played out in the past couple of years, his attitudes have ranged from disappointed to angry.
He said that when he ran the concerts, he took pride in making sure everything was done right and on time. He said a popular band once told him that Castleton Concerts on the Green was the best concert series in the state.
"I was passionate about it and it was a priority with me," Nordmeyer said. "To them, it's just another event. I had certain principles I built the concerts on and I was proud of the success of our concert series and on doing it the right way … what the Castleton community deserved."
The focus of Nordmeyer's disappointment, he said, was in the details.
"They don't do things on time, they're taking it a different direction, they've changed the name, and they've moved it from the green," he said. "It was just a good, little family oriented New England style thing."
Now called the Castleton Summer Concert Series, the Tuesday night events are held at the pavilion on the CSC campus.
"People have told me it's just not the same," Nordmeyer said, adding that the acoustics are different.
But Weld said the concerts are still held where the audience is on grass. People set up chairs and blankets on the lawn outside the pavilion unless it rains.
Then the stage is moved under the roof and people can sit under cover without moving to another location.
Nordmeyer also took issue with the kinds of bands selected. But one of the things that bothered him a lot was how community nonprofit fundraising seemed to be supplanted by college fundraising.
He said the Boy Scouts once sold food at the event, but now it's the college food service.
And 50/50 raffle profits once benefited Make-A-Wish, Special Olympics, the library, the battered women's shelter, Castleton Women's Club and others, he said.
"Now it's the softball team, the lacrosse team …" Nordmeyer said. "I said, 'Wait a minute, you can't cut all these people out.'"
He said they tied the Castleton Alumni Association's fundraiser with the Satin & Steel performance.
"That's one of the bigger concerts," Nordmeyer said. "You'd have to be blind not to see what's going on there."
He decided he had seen enough.
Nordmeyer said he received a big shock when he sent a letter to the people he had worked with over the years to thank them for their support and announce that he would no longer be associated with the concert series.
He had been a paid contractor at the college, teaching an elderly-fitness swimming class at the college, but was told by Scott Dikeman, CSC's dean of administration, that he could no longer work at the college.
"I went to see Scott and he said 'We can't have people around who bad-mouth the college,'" Nordmeyer said. "He said, 'Dick, you burned your bridges.'"
Dikeman could not be reached Tuesday evening.
Weld said he couldn't discuss personnel issues and wouldn't talk about Nordmeyer's claim, but he praised Nordmeyer for his work on the concert series.
"Without Dick, that concert series would not be what it is," Weld said. "His leadership and passion … he had a real vision of what he wanted that concert series to be. I think it still is."
He said CSC hasn't heard any complaints and is working to continue the concerts for the community.
"I think the concert series continues to be a mainstay of the town and a thriving event," Weld said. "It's certainly not dying and in our view it's not a point of contention."
Nordmeyer doesn't see everything as negative, adding that the college put a vast array of talents to work on the concert series from promotions to publications to events staff.
He said part of his regret is that he had envisioned retiring and going out on top, possibly at the end of the 20th season in 2016.
But, he's come to terms with that now.
"I didn't get to go out the way I wanted," Nordmeyer said. "But I'm doing fine and I'm moving on. It was just a hobby. But I put a lot of time into it."
His wife, Elaine Nordmeyer, said she's disappointed for her husband who she said put a lot into the events and never was reimbursed for expenses.
"But it gave Dick a great deal of satisfaction," she said.
They have a lot more time together, something Dick Nordmeyer is grateful for.
"I had a good run," he said. "It was fun while it lasted."

For anyone interested, a few of us (inc. a few of the usual suspects from this board, e.g. Stevo, Garvers, ManxRL etc) are heading to The Hope on Whitfield St, London, W1, to watch the Wigan V Wire game tomorrow night
I just spoke to one of the guys working there (Martin) and they will defo put the game on. Further to that they will put the sound on the TV upstairs , so that is where we'll probably be (unless they put it on downstairs too)
You might remember we last went there for the Four Nations final last autumn, when there was a great crowd in there
Who's coming? Should be a cracking RL night again
and a Wire win
Central London Pub for Wigan V Wire tomorrow

Made this tonight as a dessert for some friends. Followed the tips in the comments about reducing the amount of sugar and it was lovely! Minimal work required (I prepped everything a few hours in advance and just threw it in the oven when I wanted) and wonderfully gooey with a nice crust. So divine considering it was mostly storecupboard ingredients.
I cooked this cake with two of my grandchildren (7 & 9). They read and followed the recipe as it says. The only thing we changed was maple syrup instead of golden syrup. I don't know why some people had problems with it. The middle is supposed to be sunk because it is a brownie. It was delicious, gooey and superb, just like the picture. Excellent to make with children.
Sorry, but this recipe didn't work at all! I'm not going to lie, every single recipe I get off this website has completely failed. I tried a Victoria Sponge recipe off here, and it went runny and wouldn't cook. I had the same problem with this cake. My friends say they got a pancake recipe off this site, and they say that went wrong.
I've just made this as I wanted a good brownie recipe to add to my growing "favourite recipe" list. It's gorgeous!!!!! I used salted butter, dark chocolate and cut out 25g of sugar... Also, I did not use the golden syrup. I added walnuts and, I have to say, they are divine!!!! Next time I may try cutting out another 25g of sugar, more from a health point of view than anything else, as I have just demolished half the cake myself!!! The perfect balance between goo and chewiness!!
yes agree with the others, no need for such a massive amount of sugar. 100g caster and 75g of brown is more than enough. Theres still room to lose more in fact. The only thing I would say is to maybe make sure that the mixture is cooler before adding the eggs to avoid tiny scrambled bits. Ill also sift my flour next time to avoid lumps
Have made this twice over the long weekend as it's been such a hit!! I took the tips of other reviewers and cut way back on both caster and brown sugar, I never measure stuff but aimed for about two thirds of the quantities the recipe suggests and it's plenty sweet enough. I also accidentally used maple syrup instead of golden one time but it still tasted fab. Try to eat this asap once cooked as it loses its gooey middle fairly quickly - this doesn't affect the taste but I personally like a squidgy middle and prefer it warm. I served with some good quality vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries and it looked and tasted great! The second time I topped it with decorative chocolate balls which made the top lovely and crunchy for another texture and also looked pretty. A super quick and easy recipe which is easy to tweak and personalise with a bit of practice - saved to my favourites!!
Amazing, use this for brownies as well- whole family loved them and this is the 3rd time i have made it. I only use 100g caster sugar and 75g light brown sugar otherwise it is wayyyyyy too sweet for my liking- served with raspberries, double cream and icing sugar. recommend it for entertaining. also its great when gooey in the middle ....mmmm
i'm quite inexperienced and this was my first time making brownies, i was a bit worried as the butter in the first stage all came to the top of the pan and made the mixture quite watery, however i carried on and hoped for the best. the brownie cake was amazing! will make again and probably one of the better brownies i have ever had, chewy in the centre too!! delicious
Questions (11)
Hi Shirley, it looks like we missed your son's birthday deadline but hope you were able to find a suitable solution for the cake. In answer to your questions, baking is a bit of a science and swapping or reducing ingredients often gives very different results. In this case, we would suggest cooking the brownie as suggested but for a chocolate cake with a lower sugar content, try this low sugar chocolate cake:
There are more tips here too if you'd like to try your own baking experiments:
Hope that helps!
Have made this a couple of times and really struggle to get the mixture smooth as its melting on the hob, it seems to split almost straight away so the sugar never dissolves and the butter just seems to separate. Am I heating it for long enough? As soon as it starts to seperate I panic and take it off the heat. The end result is always gritty in the centre.
Hi papoo2u2, thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear you're not having success with this recipe. It sounds like the heat could be too high when you're melting the ingredients together, do make sure it's on a low heat and you stir it as it's melting to bring everything together. Let us know how it goes if you decide to try this recipe again.

Fireworks Safety Tips
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), nearly 70 percent of all fireworks-related injuries occur around the 4th of July holiday. The most common injuries include burns, lacerations, and eye injuries and more than half of those injured are children and teens.
The best way to enjoy this 4th of July is by watching the public, professional fireworks display. However, if you do set off your own fireworks, never allow small children to play with or ignite fireworks - even sparklers, which burn at approximately 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit - and never buy or use illegal fireworks, which can be deadly.
The U.S. Fire Administration publishes the following tips to help keep you and your family safe this holiday:
If an accident involving the eyes does occur, Prevent Blindness America suggests the following tips:

Intel® Retail Client Manager Training Manual
Intel® Retail Client Manager (Intel® RCM) is a comprehensive digital signage solution, scalable to handle the most demanding needs of customers deploying multiple digital signage campaigns to complex networks of displays around the globe. But at its core, the idea of Intel RCM is simple: deliver an idea or message to a screen. To introduce you to Intel RCM we will show you how to perform this most basic task – take a message in the form of a picture and make that seen on-screen.
For this introduction we are going directly to the heart of the system, the campaign. In Intel RCM a "campaign" is what we call a digital display presentation. A campaign can be as simple as a single image to very complex, with combinations of rich media such as images, videos, RSS feeds, and more. For our first example of a campaign, we will create a very simple campaign to demonstrate the basic structure of the Intel RCM tool. Later on we will explore in depth how to set up all of the elements for a successful digital signage deployment.
