When Does Makeup Expire And For How Long Should You Keep Them?
In the spirit of Chinese New Year and the accompanying customary (and mundane) act of spring cleaning, I decided to start a new year on a clean slate by firstly, throwing out makeup products that have too ancient of a purchase date.
Actually, I cannot remember the date of purchase for ANY of my products. When I initially started on my little makeup escapade – that would later culminate into this crazy obsession – I resolved to writing the date of purchase on each and every product. With constant contact, the ink smudged – permanent ink or not – and sometimes it was really hard to find a spot to write on.
Then I changed to writing on white stickers but that made the product look really ugly. So I tried writing clear tape with permanent marker. That was the stupidest idea as the ink faded and all that was left was the clear tape. Maybe I used lousy tape, or lousy marker. Lol.
From then on, I simply relied on memory, which essentially means nothing at all since I have so many products it's impossible to keep track. While the occasional clean-up to get rid of old products helps in ensuring you don't use products for longer than you ought to, here are some 'rules of thumb' that we can all find useful in getting the most out of our products.
Period-After-Opening Symbol
You know that little jar with a number and an 'M'? 6M means 6 months, and it indicates the recommended duration of use after you've first opened it.
Use The Look-Smell-Feel Approach
If the product doesn't have a Period-After-Opening symbol, exercise the look-smell-free approach. It is high time to throw it out when there's a change in color or texture, smells funny or different from before, or feels drier or oilier on the skin.
Mascara should be the easiest to gauge whether it has gone bad. Once it starts to dry up or flakes more than it did when it was at its prime, I toss it out. I once used a mascara for longer than was safe and it irritated my eyes so much I count my blessings for not getting any serious infection.
Then again, I honestly don't follow the general rule of 'throw out mascara after 3 months of opening' rule. I mean, who throws out a mascara every 3 months!? That's not only really wasteful and costly, I believe a mascara can function just as well even after 6 months. Just don't go beyond a year. >.<"
It is best to exercise the look-smell-feel approach. If it smells funny or looks really weird in texture (maybe it became watery or looks murky), trust your instincts and give it up. And of course, if it causes any negative reaction, throw it away immediately.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

For Immediate Release
June 13, 2007
Summer food programs filling nutritional gap for thousands of Illinois students
6 million meals to be served at more than 1,800 locations statewide
Springfield, Ill. – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced today that more than 1,800 agencies have signed up to participate in this summer's food service programs for low-income students. ISBE estimates this summer more than 6 million free nutritious meals and snacks will be served to thousands of Illinois' children.
"During the school year, our students depend on receiving free and reduced-price school meals each day for their nutritional needs," said State Superintendent Christopher Koch. "Their nutritional needs do not stop in the summer because school is out. That's why the summer food programs are important."
The Illinois State Board of Education administers two federally funded summer food programs – the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 'Summer Food Service Program for Children' and the federal National School Lunch Program's 'Seamless Summer Option.' Both programs are designed to bridge the summer nutrition gap by offering free nutritious breakfasts, lunches or snacks to children 18 and younger.
Last summer, more than 95,000 low-income Illinois children ate free meals through both summer food programs. However, that's only 14.8 percent of the roughly 644,000 children who ate free or reduced-priced meals during the 2005-2006 school year. Nationally, the USDA reports that more than 15 million children depend on free or reduced price school meals during the school year, only 2.9 million children are receiving summer meals. This represents less than one in five of the children served during the school year.
Summer food programs work by providing free meals and snacks to low-income children through age 18 when school is not in session. People over age 18 who are enrolled in school programs for persons with disabilities may also participate. Summer food programs typically operate in June, July and August but can start as early as May and can go into September.
Local governments, school districts and non-profits sponsor summer food sites, which may include schools, parks, recreation centers, housing projects, migrant centers, churches, summer camps, and others. Most summer food program sites are open to all the children in the community. These "open sites" are eligible for federal funds if the site is located in an area in which at least 50 percent of the children are from households that would be eligible for free or reduced price school meals. All children 18 years of age or younger who come to an approved open site may receive meals.
Other summer food facts:
- More than 6 million meals and snacks were served in
during the 2006 summer.
- Recent USDA research shows that 93 percent of summer
food program sites provide educational, developmental,
or recreational activities in addition to nutritious
meals and snacks.
- Since summer 2004, more than 19.5 million meals and snacks have been served.
To locate an open site summer food program in Chicago, contact the Illinois Hunger Coalition Hunger Hotline at 1-800-359-2163 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The hotline is available in both English and Spanish.
An interactive map of the state's summer food program sites can be found online at: http://webprod1.isbe.net/NutSvc/ or call Nutrition Programs at 1-800-545-7892.

"If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or song, if I can show somebody how they're traveling wrong...
"Then my living shall not be in vain."
Manny Scott's passion was echoed with every lyric.
Coming from a broken place, Scott simply wasn't supposed to make it.
His mother worked hard to make ends meet. His father has been incarcerated almost his entire life, and he's only met him 11 times, for a total of 15 hours. His stepfather was addicted to crack and "became possessed," abusing his mother and him.
"I used to cry myself to sleep," Scott said, "wondering if there was hope for people like me."
He soon became immersed in the broken lifestyle. He moved around, lived in 26 different places, never had a blanket, pillow or food, resorting to sifting through garbage for something to get him through the night.
Things didn't get any better at school. He was surrounded by students with new clothes, new shoes, among other things.
They looked happy.
Scott wondered, "Why does everyone seem so happy?"
In class, Scott was never the type to answer questions during class; he was embarrassed. But one day after not doing his homework, his sixth-grade teacher singled him out.
"No one at home could help you?" She said. "If you don't get your act together, you're going to end up just like your daddy. Isn't he in prison?"
He didn't have the proper lexicon at the time to respond back. All he could say was, "Yes, ma'am."
By the age of 11, he was getting high, stealing cars and got a tattoo courtesy of a man named "Big Richard."
That was the lifestyle. He was OK with it. He was with, what he viewed, as the right type of people. They were broken people who just wanted to feel like they belonged.
By his freshman year of high school, his lack of attentiveness netted him a dreadful .6 grade point average.
"I missed up to 90 days a year, from fourth to ninth grade," Scott said. "I was a class clown, silly, stupid."
Regardless of his antics, his best friend, Alex, never judged him. Alex was a model student and a good person.
"He was a good dude, man," Scott said. "Just a good guy."
Before school ended one day, Alex was going to hang out with Scott. Scott waited all night.
He never showed up.
Alex had been jumped on the way to see Scott. He was choked by guitar strings, had his throat slit and was thrown off a cliff.
"When he died, part of me died with him," Scott said. "I gave up and dropped out."
Scott then got into "stupid stuff"; he was getting chased by cops and helicopters.
He thought, "People like me ain't supposed to make it."
One day, he sat on a park bench in Long Beach, California. Thoughts of ending it all were creeping in.
"My story was over," Scott said. "There was no future for me. I was just going to be like my daddy.
"Or worse."
Scott was in a quagmire of misery.
As he sat on that bench, a drug addict sat beside him, studied him and then began to beg Scott.
"Man, don't be like me," he said. "Don't throw your life away like I did. Don't be like me."
The words "don't be like me" echoed inside of Scott. Something needed to change. He went back to his old school to re-enroll and get his life back on track.
When he went back, he was reminded of his poor grades and bad conduct. He got on his knees and begged for just one more chance. He got it.
His first semester back, he worked tirelessly, flaunting five A's and two B's. He was getting back on track.
"I did it. I can do this," Scott said. "That was the moment for me, and I was proud of myself."
Then, he got into Erin Gruwell's English class. The woman, whose students affectionately referred to her as Ms. G., initially got on the wrong foot with her students.
She was a former cheerleader, who had a pep to her step that no student had seen before.
"She seems nice, but she ain't gonna make it," the class thought.
She tried to instill the teachings of William Shakespeare and Geoffrey Chaucer, but it didn't take. A friend of Scott's was initially confused.
"Why we got to read about dead white guys in tights?" his friend said.
The next day, she put a verse from now-late rapper Tupac Shakur on the board, showing that he was doing what Shakespeare was doing, thus forging a connection.
"So, Ms. G recognized 'If I'm going to get their attention, why not just talk about the stuff that they like?'" Scott said. "'Then, teach them stuff that they don't know about.'"
She connected with them through Shakur and Snoop Dogg, their heroes, their modern-day poets.
The connection grew deeper, especially with Scott, helping him express himself, helping understand the problems he was going through.
Most importantly, she pushed him. She saw his potential.
"I will help you, but you've got to work," Gruwell said. "Life doesn't care about your problems."
Gruwell pushed him to go to college, stacking her desk with applications for Scott to see.
He picked up an application from the University of California at Berkeley, asked about it and asked where it was.
"It's where Jason Kidd played basketball!" Gruwell said.
He didn't apply to UCB because Kidd played basketball there. He chose it because of Gruwell's enthusiasm, her tone.
He then got a letter from UCB. He was accepted.
"Manny, we got in!" Gruwell said.
He spent hours at Barnes and Noble, trying to solve every single problem. He was scared, didn't know if he could do it.
"All of those people who said I wouldn't make it … I've come too far," Scott said.
He went on to graduate from UCB with two degrees, one for himself and one for Alex.
He then got a call following graduation. It was Gruwell, pushing him to get a master's degree.
He then got a master's degree, and is now working on a PhD.
Scott goes around the country, telling his story. He prides himself on not being the exception, but breaking the glass ceiling.
Gruwell was the exception in his eyes. Their story is told in the 2007 film "Freedom Writers," with Hilary Swank portraying Gruwell and a character named Marcus closely resembling Scott. The film shows how much Gruwell believed in each and every one of her students.
Scott tries to impart that message across the country.
"You can be the exception," Scott said. "On your worst day, you may be their last chance."
Scott has spoken to troubled youth and has saved people on the verge of suicide by talking with them and just letting them know how special each individual is.
Scott's words are infectious, inspiring those who don't believe in themselves. It's a burden, having to hear depressing tales, but it's a burden he accepts.
Now, he cries for the stories he hears, hoping that he can inspire and give those hope. The kind of hope he sought before.
It's his calling.
"I believe I went through all of the stuff that I went through to prepare me to go back and help others who are still there," Scott said. "That doesn't feel good; it's not fun; it's not exciting, but it's what I was created to do. I don't believe I was called to be happy or successful, I believe I was called to be faithful.
"I believe I have been called to go to broken places and to help hurting people."

JP Morgan exec to join private equity healthcare launch
High-profile names from across investment banking, private equity and healthcare are teaming up to launch an investment firm that aims to take advantage of consolidation in the healthcare sector.
Andrea Ponti, the former global co-head of healthcare investment banking at JP Morgan, is leaving the bank to become a partner at GHO Capital Partners, which will formally launch after the summer. He will join Alan MacKay, the former global head of healthcare at private equity firm 3i Group and most recently chief executive of private markets investor Hermes GPE, and Mark Braganza, a doctor by training and a former dealmaker at TPG Biotech, the life science venture investment arm of buyout giant TPG Capital, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
GHO will make growth equity and buyout investments in the healthcare market, and has Dennis Gillings as non-executive director, two people said. Gillings is the founder and former chief executive of Quintiles Transnational, the world's largest contract pharmaceutical research business, which has been backed by 3i and TPG in the past.
The firm hopes to grow to 10 investment professionals – including five partners – and is building up a network of specialist advisers, including some that were previously chief executives of healthcare companies, one of the people said. GHO is in talks with a handful of placement agents about raising a fund next year, although a target for the new vehicle has not yet been agreed, the person added.
GHO, which will be based in London, will make mid-market investments in businesses that are primarily based in Europe but operate globally.
The team will look for deals in some of the industry's more complex areas, such as specialty pharmaceuticals and medical technology, and will target high-growth companies that are below the radar of most private equity firms and M&A advisors.
The firm also expects several spin-out opportunities to arise from the current wave of mega-mergers in the global healthcare market. There have been 983 healthcare M&A deals globally worth $220.7 billion so far this year, according to Dealogic, the highest year-to-date value of deals on record. The largest of these in Europe was in April, when Novartis sold its vaccine business to GlaxoSmithKline for roughly $7 billion.
One of the people said: "[The team at GHO] foresees an awful lot of spin-outs coming over the next three years out of all these mega-mergers. That's why [they] think now is the perfect time to be doing this."

Johnny Football never ceases to entertain.
In the third quarter of the Cleveland Browns preseason game vs. the Washington Redskins, Johnny Manziel trotted back to the huddle after a play and gave the Redskins bench the finger.
Johnny Manziel flipping the bird at the Redskins bench https://t.co/Q2Bz2LEOJr— gifdsports (@gifdsports) August 19, 2014
Update: August 22 at 11:40 a.m. ET
The NFL has reportedly fined Manziel for his actions:
Browns QB Johnny Manziel was fined $12,000 for flipping bird at Redskins bench Monday night, per league source.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 22, 2014
Johnny Manziel is still weighing whether to appeal his $12,000 fine for flipping the bird. #thebird— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 22, 2014
If Manziel appeals the fine (which is more than $11,025 minimum for the offense), could be reduced to 25% of his weekly check. Or about $6K— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 22, 2014
--End of Update--
Update: August 19 at 10 a.m. ET
Here's the viral Vine of Manziel finding out that his gesture had been caught on camera:
Washington safety Ryan Clark went on ESPN Radio on Tuesday morning and revealed what one of his teammates said that led to Manziel flipping the Redskins the bird, via Business Insider's Cork Gaines: "I can tell you what the statement was that set him off. The statement was, 'This isn't college anymore and these people are faster than you are.' And he didn't like it. That's the cleaned up statement, but that was pretty much what it was."
--End of Update--
After the game, Manziel's head coach spoke about his antics:
Pettine on the Manziel finger: "It does not sit well. It's disappointing. ... What we talk about is being poised."— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) August 19, 2014
Manziel explained what led up to the gesture:
Manziel: "I get words exchanged with me throughout the entirety of the game week after week. ... I need to be smarter than that."— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) August 19, 2014
While Manziel might have been responding to talk from the Redskins sideline, the controversial rookie will be hearing from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell soon.

Ross Copperman ('04) is making music
By Darcie Roberge ('06)
Ross Copperman ('04)
Playing piano from the age of three, Ross Copperman ('04) made music before he knew how to speak in full sentences. After the sentences began forming, it wasn't long before the Roanoke native started writing songs -- not just pop songs, but rock, country, R&B, hip-hop and jazz.
After more than 20 years on the piano, Copperman is finally turning dream into reality. He's signed a record contract with a major label. Phonogenic, a British label that's a branch of Sony BMG, negotiated with Copperman for five months to establish a contract.
"It's one of the best feelings in the world accomplishing something on your list of things to do before you die," says an ecstatic Copperman, who sloughs off the question of how you find the drive to make dreams real. "You don't find drive. You are either born with it, or you don't have it," he says.
Behind every musical success story is a support system. Copperman's support came in the form of sound advice from good managers and good people. "It's all about the team you surround yourself with because this is a very hard business," he says.
Copperman decided to try to sign with a British record label because "It's easier to break in the United Kingdom first," he says. Maroon 5 and The Killers also chose this route. "They are more receptive to my style of music, and it's overall a good approach to take," says Copperman. After his record breaks in the U.K., fans can expect to see a U.S. release.
Copperman moved to the United Kingdom in April to promote his new record and will remain there for the remainder of 2006. His tour began this summer and will include all of the major U.K. festivals.
Some of Copperman's favorite artists include Radiohead, Travis and The Beatles. "Any band or songwriter that writes a great song gets my support," says Copperman. OK Computer by Radiohead is his favorite album. "It's one of the best-produced albums that I've ever heard," says Copperman.
Copperman's songwriting style is emotionally charged -- based on what is going on in his life at the moment. "I feel like I get the most meaningful lyrics when I create fictitious characters based off of my emotions and life experiences," he says. According to critics at cdbaby.com, "Copperman places a lot of emphasis on catchy hooks, a practice that always leaves the crowd singing his songs."
Copperman likes to stay on top of current technology, too. He has podcast his 2004 independent, solo CD release Believe. "Podcasts are like radio shows in mp3 format," says Copperman, who has performed with many bands and artists including Gavin DeGraw, Rod Stewart and Phil Vassar. His favorite touring experience was with Better Than Ezra. "Those were some of the craziest nights of my life," Copperman laughs.
If he could meet any musician, living or dead, Copperman says he would choose Paul McCartney. "I would ask him how it feels to have written some of the greatest songs of our time."
The former JMU Student Ambassador says, "JMU is where it all started for me. Being a Student Ambassador was instrumental in helping my career because it allowed me to meet a lot of different people who played big roles in the JMU community. I built up my [musical] following at JMU and it spread from there. I wouldn't be where I am today if it hadn't have been for the support of JMU."

Freedom New Mexico: Thomas Garcia Ashley Romero and her Husband Pete Romero are headed to Italy where she will compete in the 31st World Arm Wrestling Championships.
By Thomas Garcia: Freedom New Mexico
When Ashley Romero was young, her father told her never to date a guy she could beat at arm wrestling.
That didn't leave many prospects for dating, so she had to break the rule.
She's 18 now, attending Tucumcari's Mesalands Community College, and preparing for a trip to Italy with her new husband, Pete.
"I have beat Pete in arm wrestling," she laughed.
But Pete Romero is not ashamed. The trip to Italy is for the 31st annual World Arm Wrestling Championships. Ashley is a member of the United States team.
"It is a part of her life and I support her," said Pete, also a Mesalands student. "This is a chance for me to be a part of an important piece of her life."
The couple, married on June 6, fly Saturday to Porto Viro, Italy. The competition begins Sunday and continues through Sept. 13.
Ashley Romero's story begins about 13 years ago at the Idaho state fair. She was 5 when she first entered an arm-wrestling competition with other family members.
"At first I was just doing it because it was fun," she said. "I heard a lady talking to my dad (Don Stokes) after that event about getting me into the world finals. But I was so young I did not give it a second thought."
Ashley said she competed despite serious health issues that have left her even today with a noticeable limp. She said an injury paralyzed her from her waist down when she was less than a year old. She said some doctors feared she would not walk. They were wrong.
Ashley said she was a high school freshman living in Estancia when she won an arm-wrestling championship at the New Mexico state fair.
"After that I was told about Team USA and I joined them and began to practice with them and competing in events."
Leonard Harkless, president and founder of U.S. Arm Wrestling Association, said he is amazed at Ashley's abilities.
"In arm wrestling a lot of power comes from the athlete's legs," Harkless said in a telephone interview from the AWA in Billings, Mont. "She has been wrestling on the national scene only for a few years and she is beating women that have been competing in top levels for the past 10-12 years."
This won't be her first time on the world stage.
"This will be my second year to compete in the world championships," Ashley said. "Last year I competed in Canada. I broke my left arm in the championship round of the 55-kilogram division (121 pounds)."
"I was competing against this girl from Sweden," she said. "As the match went on I heard a loud pop. I just thought the referee hit the table. It was not until I saw my opponent gasp that I knew something was wrong."
Ashley said she tried to lift her arm but could only feel the bone in her upper arm move around.
She qualified as a left-hander and right-hander last year. She will compete as a right-hander this time, she said.

The Hample Jinx
In the summer of 1993, as I was leaning over a railing at Shea and picking up a ball, Phillies reliever Mitch Williams ran over and kicked it out of my glove.
"What the hell did you do that for?!" I yelled.
"Y'already got two," he said and marched off.
Actually, I had three, but that's not the point. The point is that I had every right to grab that ball, and he robbed me for no good reason.
So I jinxed him.
Nothing happened at first. In fact, he went on to save a career-high 43 games that year, and his team reached the playoffs–but I knew his time would come. After all, I'd given him the official Hample Jinx.
Sure enough, with a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game Six of the World Series, Williams gave up a three-run homer to Joe Carter. Series over. Blue Jays won. Phillies lost.
Soon after, Williams started receiving death threats (not from me) and vandals egged his home…all because of one practice ball months earlier at Shea Stadium.
I hope it was worth it, Mitch.

haha great post Zack. Very funny, the Astros are on ESPN tonight, I know you are rooting against them right now. Do they have ESPN in France?
Thanks. But no. No ESPN in my hotel room. Anyway, the game starts at 2am local time, and we're waking up early to fly to Israel. I'll have to settle for reading the box score later this morning. (It's 1:31am now.)
Thats horrible, no ESPN. How do they survive? But hows that time diffence treating you? Six hours would be too much for me.
haha great story. When are you coming back from your vacation? GO JAYS!
I don't know, maybe there is ESPN. As we were checking out of the hotel, we saw a huge shipment of flat screen TVs coming in…one for each room. The time difference is no problem. I'm staying up late just like I do in NYC. The only problem is when my parents wake up early in the morning with their "Let's go! Go! Go!" attitude.
I'm coming back on the 26th.
Guess what! There's ESPN in Jerusalem. I might have to blog about this…
great job.
Heh, thanks.
When did you take the Hamle Jinx off of Williams?
When he retired?
I figure I'd keep the comments going on this post. Hopefully I'll get a response in a year or two.
A year or two? How about an hour or two!
zackhample is awesome for replying to his fans!
Please jinx Ryan Howard, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, John Mayberry, Hunter Pence, Dan Uggla, Martin Prado, Jason Heyward, Omar Infante, Mike Stanton, Hanley Ramirez (DL I think), Ricky Nolasco, Greg Dobbs, Logan Morrison, Bryan Petersen, Michael Morse, Danny Espinosa, Stephen Strasburg (when he returns), and anyone else who is doing well in the NL East so that the Mets can finally win the division! It's been 5 long years of "Wait until next year".
I'll try.
wow zack. sending death threats to a pitcher and going to israel?? u r one crazy fruit loop
Reading comprehension.
Glad to hear it. You're welcome.

text: Damn, there are so many good local comedy shows going on that I'm beginning to have trouble keeping up with them all. A few months ago I checked out the Poor Comedians show, and after some drunken, rude loudmouths were ridiculed out the door — you had it coming folks, don't mess with comedians — it was one of the best bar shows I've ever seen. The comedians were all hilarious, including host Shannon Parkevich, who also organizes the event, and the beer selection was solid. This Friday, Parkevich will perform along with one of Columbus' best, Chris Coen (pictured). Running the third Thursday of every month, the Poor Comedians show is another fantastic comedy show to add to your calendars.

BSA: The Software Alliance, a company that represents software companies, commended some of the proposals, such as improving transparency and giving courts more discretion to shift fees. But the company also warned that some of them could be problematic.
"Singling out computer-enabled inventions as (a) class could inadvertently put at risk innovation for many industries that rely on software, from manufacturing to biotech," BSA Senior Vice President for External Affairs Matt Reid said in a statement.
"The America Invents Act includes business-method provisions that have been in effect for only six months. Rushing to broaden them before we see the results doesn't make sense," Reid said.
Unfortunately, the actions and recommendations could have the opposite effect the Obama administration is looking for, increasing litigation instead of suppressing it, notes Gerst.
Specifically, two of the legislative proposals related to demand letters try to regulate what needs to be included in them, which could make them more complex. Patent owners typically use demand letters to initiate contact with infringers and inform them of the potential infringement.
In an effort to settle the dispute without litigation, the letter typically requests cessation of the infringing activity or asks for the license to be paid. Gerst said that patentees are more likely to just file suit than go through a potentially onerous process of sending demand letters. That could increase the amount of litigation.
Understandably, some of the details of these proposals need to be hashed out.
"This is such an important area to the American economy, we need to make sure that what we're doing is actually going to be constructive and is well thought through," Gerst said.

Although they are not discussed as much as aerobic and strength-building exercises, exercises to increase your flexibility and balance are a key part of a beneficial fitness plan.
Flexibility exercises can improve overall ease of movement, decrease stress on the joints, and reduce risk of injury. Because flexibility exercises help improve blood flow to the muscles, stretching an injured muscle will speed up your recovery.
Although they are not specifically recommended in the Physical Guideline for Americans, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you incorporate flexibility exercises a minimum of two to three days per week into your overall fitness program.
Most fitness centers have posters with stretches for all muscle groups that you can do after an aerobic exercise, when your muscles are warmed up. Mindful movement exercises [2], such as yoga [4] and tai chi, are also excellent for developing flexibility and Pilates can improve flexibility, as well as core stability.
Good balance can help prevent falls. Balance training helps improve your equilibrium and your ability to withstand and quickly recovers from situations that make your balance unstable. In addition, balance is essential for various sports and fitness activities.
To improve balance, you must improve your core strength so you can have a good base of support and control movement. Core strength can be improved through Tai Chi, Pilates, and core specific floor exercises. Yoga is also excellent for developing core strength and balance.
Older adults at risk of falls should do balance training three or more days a week. Examples of these exercises include backward walking, sideways walking, heel walking, toe walking, and standing from a sitting position. Tai Chi exercises also may help prevent falls.
Other simple exercises to improve balance include:

Backup plans are, by definition, not the best-case scenario. But usually they can be counted on to be reasonably close to Plan A. Sometimes, it ends up being even better than Plan A (Michael Jordan was the third pick in the 1984 NBA draft). Other times, they're far worse (Sam Bowie was the second pick in the 1984 NBA draft). But you rarely hear about the backup plans that are chambered and loaded and just never get used. Here are five that remained in the back pockets of various world leaders that, had they been used, would have changed the world, and possibly the language this article was written in.
5Operation Vulture
In the early 1950s, French Indochina was under attack by communist rebels. Unfortunately for France, this meant fighting a ground war in Asia, which is like fighting a white power gang in the prison showers: You're on their home turf, and winning to them means making sure you leave wearing a straight jacket under your body bag.
After taking a beating for several years, 17 battalions of French Union soldiers went and got themselves surrounded at Dien Bien Phu. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the rebels had somehow Fitzcarraldoed a bunch of anti-aircraft artillery through the thick jungle to the border they'd formed around the French. The more the rebels tightened that border, the lower planes had to fly to aim the supplies and ammunition and the more they got picked off by the heavy artillery. It was like a giant noose made of machine guns. At this point, the French had two options: sit back and lament that nobody had used a sufficiently prison-rape-themed metaphor to explain the war ahead of time, or ask America for help.
"Sup dawg? Hey, I'm gonna need you to do me a solid."
Realizing it was the heart of the Cold War and they were fighting communists, the French government picked up the red phone reserved for asking for U.S. military support. The resulting plan, Operation Vulture, would have used three tactical nuclear weapons from the Americans to turn the communist region into New Hiroshima.
The French liked the idea enough to send their top general to Washington to ask President Eisenhower personally for the passage of the plan. America had been building up a pretty bitching collection of atomic weaponry since the end of WWII and was itching to try it out. The plan climbed higher and higher up the chain of command, like the Bill from that "Schoolhouse Rock!" video with a knife in his teeth and a crazy gleam in his eye. Among the notable figures who signed off on it were U.S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles and a youngish Richard Nixon, who had actually helped draw it up. All they needed was Eisenhower, who liked the idea but had the good sense to realize that he and everyone in the government might have lost their goddamned minds over this communism thing. To hedge his approval, he agreed to the plan, but only if the United Kingdom liked it, too.
Churchill and Eisenhower warm up the mood with a game of "pull my finger."
After Britain gave a curt but polite "Are you fucking crazy?" Eisenhower acted like he never liked the idea in the first place, and the French eventually lost the battle so badly that their government resigned. The rebels took over and declared themselves the sovereign nation of Vietnam, and everyone lived happily ever after.
If They'd Gone With Plan B:
OK, America learned nothing from France's defeat, and got their ass handed to them by the same communist soldiers in the Vietnam War. Nixon's involvement in the plan came back to haunt America during negotiations to end the Vietnam War when the North Vietnamese's negotiator noted that they were having a tough time trusting America since "during the resistance against the French, Vice President Nixon proposed the use of atomic weapons." Still, Eisenhower's "we're down if England's cool with it" is probably the closest the U.S. ever came to going nuclear over the course of the entire Cold War.
"I get what you're saying, Dick, but have you considered the possibility that you are pant-soiling crazy?"
Many experts attribute the non-use of nukes to the "nuclear taboo." The longer the Americans and Soviets went without using their atomic weapons, and the more of them they built and aimed at each other, the more disastrous the consequences of using one came to seem.
Since Dien Bien Phu was relatively early in the war, the taboo wasn't quite as strong. But had Eisenhower gone nuclear the taboo never would have existed. Even if Russia didn't immediately retaliate with an atomic bomb of their own, they would owe America one. For instance, if you're the Soviets, the Cuban Missile Crisis looks a lot different if America has shown they're willing to use nuclear weapons if someone asks nicely. It's the difference between being in a Mexican standoff with a guy who you can safely assume is a rational human being who only wants to go on living, and being in a Mexican standoff with a hit man.
"Look, we don't really care about the argument. We just want to see what these bad boys can do."
Not for the first time, America probably owes its very existence to Britain being a total killjoy.
4Huele a Quemado
In 1977, the United States was finally deciding what to do with the Panama Canal Zone, a part of Panama that had been under U.S. control since 1903. Panamanian General Omar Torrijos flew up to Washington to meet with President Jimmy Carter to insist that America return control of the canal zone to Panama and withdraw U.S. forces from the country.
The two sides eventually came to an agreement, and Carter put his name behind a treaty that would give the canal and canal zone back in 1999 under the "1999? Ha, that's so far in the future we might as well be agreeing to give it back to them in heaven" theory of international relations. The controversial treaty went to Congress for approval. Little did the U.S. know that, in the event of Congress voting to not let go of the canal, Torrijos and Panama had a backup plan, which reasoned that if Panama couldn't have it, then no one could.
Via Wikipedia
"Don't let 'em see you crack, baby. This breakup is the best thing for everyone."
A few months prior to the Torrijos-Carter hoedown, future Panamanian president/coke dealer Manuel Noriega, then only a Panamanian army officer/coke dealer, trained troops and put sleeper agents in villages neighboring the canal zone. If the treaty failed, the agents would have launched attacks on the canal.
According to the plan, cleverly code-named "huele a quemado" (Spanish for "It smells like something is burning"), if Panama didn't get the canal zone back, Torrijos would render the canal "inoperable."
Luckily, for all parties involved, Carter had one of his few victories as president, getting the transfer signed and passed in Congress. By a single vote.
"Well I guess we'll have to blow something else up now."
If They'd Gone With Plan B:
If a single vote had gone the other way, a popular radio personality would have delivered what sounded like his ordinary address that night on Panamanian radio. In reality, the address would have contained a coded message to the commandos embedded around the country, who would have launched attacks on the gates and dams that regulate water levels in the canal, as well as the locomotives that pull ships. By the time the sun rose the next morning, millions of dollars in goods would have been stranded on the Atlantic and Pacific sides of the canal, and the U.S. would have been at war with Panama.
As Torrijos mentioned to journalist Graham Greene, while the U.S. would be able to fix the damage in days, you'd need to wait for "three years of rain to fill the canal. During that time it would be guerrilla war waged from the jungle."
Which eventually became the theme to every action movie from the 1980s.
Keep in mind that this was two years after the last Americans were airlifted out of Saigon, and the American economy was failing in such strange and inexplicable ways that Carter eventually took to diagnosing the U.S. with the first case of national depression. This would have meant another costly war between the United States and a communist government in one of the densest jungles in the world two years after the U.S. had just gotten out of one that had crippled its will to fight. And as opposed to Vietnam, the U.S. probably would have needed to fight them for the Panama Canal out of economic necessity.
We couldn't risk losing entire shipments of gigantic ties, is what we're saying.

As a new TV contract takes hold for the Phillies, a new broadcast team will be unveiled this season. The Phillies announced that both Chris Wheeler and Gary Matthews will be taken out of the broadcast booth, but will remain with the organization.
The Phillies sent out this release:
"As the longest-tenured member of the Phillies broadcasting team, Chris Wheeler will return to his club roots after stepping down from his role as a Phillies broadcaster. With 37 years of broadcasting experience, combined with his front office background where he began his Phillies career, 'Wheels' will take on a new role allowing the organization to continue to benefit from his knowledge, experience and dedication to the game. Additionally, Gary Matthews will continue to work with the Phillies bringing his exceptional background as a major league ballplayer, broadcaster and commentator to new roles at the Phillies."
Wheeler had this to say:
"It's been an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Phillies broadcast team for 37 years. I certainly respect the decision that was made and I look forward to my new role in the Phillies organization."
From the outside looking in, Wheeler caught quite a bit of crap from the average fan (especially on twitter), but was one of the most game-ready broadcasters I've ever come across. He was smart, clearly knew the game, and was prepared.
Sarge was a pseudo-fan fave, although it was clear the multi-man booth, with interchangeable parts, was not part of the future.
There has been no indication of who will take over, but Todd Zolecki of MLB.com says they'll look for just one person to fill the vacancy. Some names of the cuff: Ricky Bottalico, Doug Glanville, Ben Davis, Dan Plesac, Jeff Brantley. Who would you go with?
82 Comments
Doug Glanville sounds good. I, too, thought Wheels got a bad rap — I usually enjoyed listening to him and almost always learned something during the broadcast from him.
Mitch Williams!
Brad Lidge
Bring in HKs kid from Florida!!
Craig my son called me from work to tell me of my biggest wish! (Wheeler gone) Made my day man. I kinda liked Sarge though ,I thought he was funny. But I'll take it. Now in reply to your comment. He was my first thought.
Chris Wheeler ! Crazy idea to get rid of Wheels !!!
Wheels was the ultimate homer – Phillies fans love that sort of thing.
Sarge was Captain Obvious – worse than Frank Caliendo's John Madden.
"Here's a guy that when he runs, he goes faster!"
If you listen to out of town broadcasts on XM, you'll find that every team has an "ultimate homer" on their broadcast crew.
Pie Traynor might be good. Who says a local connection's so necessary?
If that couldn't be arranged, I'll take 1 of the other 15 imbiciles tht left Maddux off the4 ballot. Be easier to find their ass on tv to voice my lack of respect. 16 idiots.
But kidding aside, and I'm deadly serious, here's what I would definitely do. I'd audition Corey Seidman for the job. Have he and McCarthy test their rapport, and Corey's ability to be comfty and productive in the analyst role. He knows the game, knows the team. Seems to have fast track star attached to his name since I became aware of him a couple years back. CSN seems to like him. So he's fit enough to warrant serious consideration for the position. So I don't say hire him just yet, but take him through an audition and a no joke thought process. Youth in the booth as opposed to the same old same old, which is ESSENTIALLY what the usual guys would bring is not something this club needs. And while he needn't reinvent the analyst wheel, I'm sure a whole bunch of people across the game and nation would listen, and assuming good results, it'd be a feather in the Phils cap.
Who the hell is Corey Seidman?
Sad about Wheels, ecstatic about Sarge. I say move LA in from radio for the middle innings, and man, I would LOVE to have Doug Glanville in that booth.
How can anyone be sad wheels is gone he somewhat knew the game but often pointed out the obvious he was often wrong often went off on unwanted tagents he was terrible Harry the K hated him and so did i. this is the best news about the phils in a couple years. I know no one hat liked wheels therefore See ya!
I am glad Wheels is leaving the booth, drove both me and my husband nuts. I liked Sarge though, thought he was funny. But whoever it is can't be as bad as Wheels. Been waiting for this for a long time…
Sarge was painful to listen to…always sounded like he had some sort of gurgle in his throat.
I guess being a kid growing up in the 80s wheels always meant that either HK or Whitey had the inning off from TV and that always sucked.
To me, though this is truly the end of an era. For anyone listening to games from the late 70s through the 90s, the trio of Whitey, HK, and Wheels WAS our childhood. Sad to see them go.
I vote for Doug Glanville. He is smart and funny as heck.
You're right! I feel kind of sad…wheels was the only connection left to Harry and Whitey. As for when Wheels was on in the 80s….I had to laugh because you hit the nail on the head!! Always knew either Harry or Whitey had the inning off when you heard Wheels' voice!!
Right on! It's definitely the end of a golden era for Phillies broadcasting.
The eea ended when HK died. For the love of Christ, please don't compare the two.
Bring back Scott Graham!
How about Larry Bowa? Passion and knowledge….just saying
Bowa already has a job as the Phillies bench coach, but what the heck — mike him up anyway. Should be interesting!
Mitch Williams!!!
Sad for Wheels, we share a birthday, but why does it have to be a male replacement? Get a hot chick in there to spice things up.
It's about time they got rid a Wheels. He always made you feel dumb when he broadcasted . He thought he knew more then anyone else. Tootalu Chris!
It a sad day. I think both were good
Put Cholly on, could you imagine that play-by-play!
In all seriousness, I would love to have LA and Franzke on. I usually listen to the radio broadcast while TV is muted.
They should have dumped Wheels 30 years ago. He may be knowledgeable, but he sucks as a broadcaster. And Scott Murray has it right…bring back Scott Graham. He's fill Harry's shoes better than anyone we've got now.
LA but I would prefer he stay in radio booth!
Anyone that has anything negative to say about wheels is flat wrong. Having worked with him for 10 years I can tell you there wasn't a classier guy in all of baseball. Never ever ever had his head in the clouds. Always went out of his way for fans. Always made time for anyone that needed him. On air, he was rock solid. He prepared more than any broadcaster I have ever seen. Glad he's staying with the club but very sad to not hear his voice on air anymore. Wheels was a wonderful person and friend.
I never had a problem with Wheeler either. He certainly offered more real information than anyone else on the broadcast team.
wow, big surprise to me. i found them both very annoying . mostly because they never shut up. wheels was very knowledgeable , i give him, that. and HK did hate him. have to agree with chris c ,larry anderson is just great. anyone besides larry is a mistake !
Wheeler knew the game but he was the most annoying man in the booth. The other pom pom guy T mac should go also. I like the idea a few posted Glanville, HK's son. I like LA and Franske also but Franske was on 94.1 and said he's happy on the radio. I wouldn't mind Mitchy Poo either, or for that matter Ricki Bo or Big Ben. Hell my grandmother knew baseball I'd take her over the pom pom girls anyday! She's been deseased for over 20 yrs. I don't mind a little hominess but I like people who will tell it like it is too. All of the above fit that mold.
Mitch Williams
Ben Revere has been traded from the Phillies to Comcast for a broadcaster to be named later.
I would like to see Larry Anderson in there. He has the knowledge and he is not overly ecxcitable.
I know Tim McCarver retired from the national booth! Would he be interested in taking a job with the Phillies?
I thought of him too, but he apparently is committed to a part-time job as a Cardinals' broadcaster, and in any case may no longer be interested in the rigors of a 162-game schedule.
No Tim McCarver – he rarely said anything nice about the Phillies!
Chris Coste
Move Jimmy Rolins from the field to the both.
Interesting thought, but if you're going to pay Rollins and Galvis $11.5 million combined either way, you'll win more games with Galvis in the booth.
We want LA!
Personally, I kinda liked Wheels and I don't have strong feelings for Sarge either way, but I guess change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
I'm OK with most of the names already mentioned and I really think Mitch Williams would be a great choice for the job. But, would he do it? I don't know what the financials are, but it seems like he has a pretty good gig at MLB Network; I'm not sure if he would want to leave.
Regardless of who they get to pair with Tom McCarthy, I would like to see more of Scot Franzke and Larry Anderson. Move them from the radio booth for the middle innings, and McCarthy / new commentator to the radio booth. I think they did this type of announcer rotation back in the days of Harry and Whitey, and it seemed to work pretty well.
Wheels had the knowledge and experience that MOST Phillies fans like. He was able to compare a player or a play to one in 1975 or 1980. I will miss him.
I think Scott and LA should stay on the radio; they're great there. As far as a new guy (s), Glanville is very good and I like Murph!
If you want someone young and from the area and on the way up, check out Dave Leno
Great kid and very knowledeable!! He'd be a real asset! Move Murph into the booth and have Dave take his place on the field!
Murphy was given a job because of CSN…….he never worked a day in the minors or has any big league experience. He will be the first one to tell you: He is extremely lucky to have the job he has……no way could he handle the PBP duties. No experience at that at all!
Since there may likely be way too many losses, just bring in a few comedians for the entertainment value.
the difference between HK,and wheels. HK goes on and on about my brother catching this ball. and wheels gets back to the game. HK was loved, super super nice guy, never to busy for an autograph. whitey was tops in my book also. miss those guys !https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC4RZpZe8Sk
Please, please put Larry Anderson on the TV broadcast!
Rex Hudler
I would consider that young lady Amy Fadool from comcast. Shes actually pretty knowledgable for a woman. Ut oh …I did it now…..
Can they have LA and Franzke on both radio and TV? TMac is awful–worse than both Wheels and Sarge–has so little understanding of the game, its rhythm. It won't matter who goes in the booth with him. It will be another year of turning down the tv and syncing the radio. Ack.
Right. They canned the wrong guy. McCarthy is an error machine and has no feel for calling a baseball game.
McCarthy is arguably the worst PBP guy in the history of the sport to hold a job for this long.
A large market like Phillies deserves better than McCarthy. He's simply not fit for the job.
U gotta keep la and franski together.
Sorry to see Gary go but ecstatic to see Wheeler go, he always came across like smart aleck he has been annoying me for almost 40 years Good -Bye.
Dutch Daulton would be my choice! <3
Please don't put those radio guys in
Andersen or Scott they should be replaced.
Boring to listen to
Wheels: knowledgeable, smarmy, socially inept, humorless, colorless for a color man.
Hey, he was a good company man and knew a lot about baseball. But he was drab and nerdy and the fact the he never played the game, yet tried to explain it to everyone, always irked me. He had a good run but the booth will have a much better vibe without him. Fair thee well, Wheels. And I want Ricky Bo for sure. Ben Davis? Wha?
BTW, why Jack Morris continues to be left out of the Hall really blows my mind. All he did was win more games in the 90's than anyone AND have one of the best World Series career, with three different teams. The high ERA kills him but shouldn't.
The Dipsy
I liked Chris Wheeler because although he could be annoying and cheerleader-like, he conducted himself with class. I could tell he had a true appreciation and love for the game. I would choose Ricky Bo to replace him. He has a lot of heart, and he tells it like it is. I like hearing his opinion about players and situations, because he is usually spot-on. I'm not sure about play-by-play, but he would be a superb commentator.
The organization would never take the chance with LA on TV, too much of a loose cannon. I can tell you though I was glad it wasn't him, I find him and Scott to be amusing especially when the games get rough. Sorry to see Sarge go, again he made me laugh because of his obvious humor. Wheels, well I think he gets a bad wrap. Personally I always listen to the radio when I can but if I had to watch a game I didn't mind Wheels. Very knowledgeable about the game. But good luck to both in their new positions.
As for who I'd want to see I like Ricky Bo (one of my fave ex-Phils), Brad Lidge or Glanville.
It is clear that Comcast wants a color analyst who will do all 9 innings. Not so sure that is Ricky Bo who I like a lot. Mitch and Kruk won't leave where they are . Sweet gigs. Brad Lidge? No experience. I don't know. We will find out soon enough.
Sarge grew on me but I can live without him. Wheels knew baseball to be certain but it was time to move on. I always thought the Phils had too many announcers.
Anyway, let's hope we are talking about the players doing well in 14 and not the announcers.
Hopefully this makes my viewing of the Phillies easier. As an out-of-state fan, I use MLB TV to watch the games. Last year I watched the opponent's broadcasters during the Sarge/Wheeler innings.
Thank God —no more "no doubles defence " and the same explanation each and every broadcast. Doug Glanvile for me.
Let's not forget "put up a crooked number" and "wait for something middle in".
Doug Glanville would be great – smart and fun and a classy guy – always thought he should come back in some capacity to the phils.
Charlie Manuel – he needs a job now LOL
Former Reading Phillies broadcaster: Chuck Kirlin
He should of had Murphys job…….he was great with the crowd!
All those who sh#t on Wheels should be forced to listen to 95% of the local announcers out there. I live in VT and last year for some reason there where many games on Extra Innings that did have the Philly feed. Atlanta Arizona Miami San Diego to name a few that are just horrible. And to be a good color guy you don't have to be an ex player. Saying that I would not mind seeing Mitch or Glainville
Sarge – Right guy in the wrong job
Wheels – Knowlegable but sometimes could not stop himself from repeating.
Glanville – I have heard his commentary and found it boring.
Kruk – Can't do better
Williams – Maybe…
LA – Same as Williams
Ricky Bo – Possible but I fear he will be the same as the other reliever – they can't go 9!
Lidge – Are you kidding me? No personality.
Plesac – Great but why leave MLB?
Whoever it is, some will love him and some will hate.
Sarge tended to be a bit on the Captain Obvious with most of his comments. Though as Bob eluded to possibly right guy in the wrong job scenario. Kruk would probably be a interesting candidate though.
Only 1? You need two to make it opinionated
Mitch Williams/john Kurk
But if only one this never happen
But you do see a major network guy who goes all sports do a one city job but misses few games to go do other job
Bob coasta
Let's start a write in campaign for Patches McGoggin
My vote goes to anybody who does not tell you what every stinking pitch is and does not try to predict what pitch will be thrown next.
Some speculation that Comcast may now put pressure on the organization to replace Amaro if things keep going like they have been the past two years. It makes sense, Comcast wants ratings and ratings are usually tied to the success of the product on the field.
Now I won't have to listen to the radio with the TV muted.
John Kruk
It's sad to see Wheeler leave the booth. As someone here said earlier, he provided the "real information" compared to other Philly broadcasters. Also with his longetivy (37 years in the booth), he provided many stories and anecdotes that were enjoyable over the years.
Remember this, the Phillies no longer have the final say on choosing replacements; Comcast, with the new 25 year contract will. What that means, we could have a similar lighthearted and lightweight employee like Tom McCarthy of Comcast's choice. Or someone 'hyper" and a pompous loudmouth like one you would find in one of those ESPN or FOX shows.
I did not like to listen to Sarge on the tv broadcasts. Maybe he might make a good batting instructor/coach. He IS knowledgeable.
I'd go with Doug Glanville. Smart, knows the game, good communicator. Takes a special person to do this job. Six months and 81 games on the road isn't for everyone.
so happy that Wheeler is gone . Finally, a reason to watch next season.
More than likely, it'll be Ricky Bo.

text: I have been breastfeeding my DS for 21 months now and things have been going okay. I have a high pressure job and am finding it really difficult to manage work and home life. I rush around in the morning getting myself ready for work (I leave at 6am), luckily we have a carer who works from my house to take care of LO, then dash off to work, it's a whirlwind of meetings, briefings, work etc, rush home (stop and do shopping if needed), cook dinner before DH gets home - he gets home around 7pm and LO goes to bed at around 7:30, get LO to bed - I just never seem to have any time. I still pump at work once a day (which is sometimes so hard to find the 20 mins needed - a real juggling act). Today I feel tired and a little depressed. Motherhood and a full time job is really tough, especially when you have a high needs child who doesn't sleep through and still wakes several times a night - I guess I just need a little encouragement. I basically have about 30 mins once I put LO to bed and then I go to bed myself because LO is up so often - have tried Dr Gordon method not working, but I am just so damn tired all the time, I just feel physically exhausted and mentally fatigued. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Lighter and better fitting, the New Balance 870 v2 makes for a smooth stability trainer with a hint of speed.
We liked the original New Balance 870 for its good support and responsive ride, though because it was a new model without much promotion, the shoe did fly under the radar for many runners. For this second iteration of this modestly lightweight trainer, New Balance has revamped the shoe into something we feel will catch more attention.
All of our testers appreciated the fit of the 870 v2. The upper is soft and forgiving, ensuring a snug fit without becoming uncomfortable. The upper surrounding the heel is very padded, allowing it to fit a variety of heel widths without being overly tight or loose.
We were impressed with the cushioning supplied by the 870 v2. Though soft, the midsole delivers a surprising amount of bounce and rebound. The reduced heel-to-toe offset gives the shoe a natural feel when both midfoot and heel striking, and the transition to toe-off in this shoe is almost effortlessly smooth.
In all, we were hard up in finding faults with the 870 v2. The accommodating upper in combination with the smooth ride make this shoe a winner. The 870 v2 has much to offer for a wide variety of runners seeking a performance stability shoe.
This is a great match for longer uptempo work or for daily training.
The 870 v2 provides a good amount of support, but not to the point where it inhibits the flexibility of the shoe.
The toebox and midfoot feel slightly narrow for my tastes; probably not the best for those with a wider foot.

Hi everyone!
This is my first post and glad to be here!
Ok here's the ordeal..
#1, I have to find a job. While pregnant we moved out of state and I was only able to keep my current job until a replacement was found. This was in May. My son was born Sept 1..almost 2 months old now!! Living in a new state with no network of friends (or anyone) to get a job is tough enough... but I have to find a job that will work with a pumping schedule. Anyone have experience in new jobs and BF? I'm just scared that its not going to be as easy as I want it to be.. but I won't just stop BFing, that's for sure!
#2, he wont take a bottle..at all. I have tried everything. I know one thing, he hates silicone nipples, and those are the nipples (like Avent) that I know would probably be easiest for him to take. But the silicone is too hard. He gums the nipple, makes a frowny face and turns his head! The Playtex drop in natural nipple worked 1 time. The second time he gagged and spewed milk everywhere and didn't want to eat again for hours! All the nipples are too long for him so he gags, or he won't take because of texture. I am going to try alternatives but since I have to find a daycare, I dont feel confident that they will support a dropper or other method. That leads me to problem #3...
Daycare...urgh. Nothing I hate more. My 6 yr old only nursed until he was 2 months old. He was switched to formula because he was tearing my nipples up. I would cry because of the pain....therefore I didn't have to worry with BFing/daycare issues. The daycares I have gone to see all use bottle warmers. Are they safe for breastmilk? I cannot find anything online to reference but they don't seem like the best idea for breastmilk. Maybe I am wrong. My other issue is that the few places I have checked out, they don't even know if current babies are formula or breastfed... that worries me! If I pick a suitable daycare as far as safety and something we like, will they forget he is taking breastmilk and treat it like formula as far as heating and storage care?
I know I am having the 'back to work' scares but this is new to me. I wasn't able to nurse my oldest and want to be able to do it for at least a year with this go round. I have even convinced my best friend (who is being enduced on Monday) to breastfeed. I have spent time with her showing her the ropes, etc and encouraging her because no one else has. So I am the testrunner! What I learn I shall pass on. But with finding a new job (hopefully in the next 2 weeks) and no bottle or daycare success, I am getting very nervous!
I have read other threads and see alot about bottle issues that I will try..but anyone have any tidbits (or more) of advice on the new job and daycare issues?
Thank you soooo much!

Comments: Very misleading bait. You think it is a crankbait . . . . NOT! You have to fish this thing really slow if at all. Not sure if it would be worth messing with for anything except bedding fish. When you reel it in it helicopters like crazy. Pretty disappointed. Definitely needs some instructions from the factory.

School district mergers debated in House, SenateBy JOSH OGORMAN
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | April 30,2014MONTPELIER A school district consolidation bill underwent rigorous debate Tuesday, as the Senate took up a last-minute alternative proposal from the Agency of Education.
House Bill 883 would eliminate supervisory unions and consolidate the states 273 school districts into 45-55 education districts that offer pre-K through grade 12 education and provide access to the states 17 career technical centers.
Weve seen a precipitous drop in Vermonts K-through-12 student population over the years, said Rep. Jeff Wilson, D-Manchester, who serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, one of three House committees to draft legislation for the bill.
Its time to put into motion the realignment process put forth in House Bill 883, so that we can move forward with matching these lower student numbers with a more efficient, effective governance system, he said.
While many people have spoken of how the bill could be the answer to rising education costs in the face of declining enrollments Gov. Peter Shumlin said as much last week the expressed intent of the bill is to rectify the unequal education opportunities at different schools.
Today, we are challenged to meet the needs of 21st-century students within the confines of a 20th-century delivery system and a governance system from the 19th century, said Rep. Johannah Leddy Donovan, D-Burlington, chairwoman of the House Education committee, which worked on the bill for three months.
Rep. William Stevens, I-Shoreham, questioned many aspects of the bill, from the number of regional meetings that would be held by the design team which would create a statewide realignment plan for districts that dont consolidate voluntarily by 2017 to what evidence exists that not every child in the state has equal education opportunities.
I am not convinced that this bill does too much to address the concerns that folks in my district are expressing, Stevens said. Thats not to say that equitable access and opportunity and addressing community stress and the achievement gap arent important, but what I hear in my district are funding, affordability and value.
Rep. Michael Hebert, R-Vernon, took issue with the fact that the House Education Committee, which held many community meetings, did not hold such a meeting in the southeast corner of the state.
Im concerned that we might pass legislation without having traveled to the hinterlands of the state to gather input from everyone, Hebert said.
The House debated their governance bill late into the night, but earlier in the day the Senate Education Committee took up some last-minute consolidation legislation proposed by the Agency of Education, which in many ways differs significantly from the House bill.
Under the language from the Agency of Education, there would be no design team and no involuntary consolidation. Districts would be encouraged to consolidate and, up until July 2017, would receive double the financial incentives promised under Act 153 of 2010, which creates regional school districts, or REDs.
This means a RED composed of at least 1,000 students or at least four districts would receive as much as $300,000, if it receives unanimous approval from every district that is coming together.
In an apparent effort to encourage districts to get started on consolidation, REDs that come together after July 2017 but before July 2019 would receive half the incentive money promised under Act 153 of 2010.
Sen. Dick McCormack, D-Windsor, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, took issue with the need for financial incentives.
Why do we need incentives if its such a good idea? he said. Why dont they consolidate if it will save money and increase opportunities for students?
And while there is no statewide involuntary consolidation plan as there is in the House bill, the proposed legislation from the Agency of Education would impose financial penalties on districts that have not made serious effort toward consolidation.
Sen. Philip Baruth, D-Chittenden, suggested striking language that would impose the financial penalties, while Sen. William Doyle, R-Washington, suggested that, at the very least, they would need to define the use of the word serious.
The new language also gives authority to Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe to create supervisory union service districts composed of multiple supervisory unions that would come together in an effort to save money on transportation expenses, professional development and the purchase of goods and services.
Also, the language would require a supervisory union board that wishes to fire a superintendent to first receive approval from Holcombe.
With the Legislature looking at adjourning in less than two weeks, McCormack said he would vote against the proposal.
I will not be voting for this bill, just as a matter of due diligence, he said.
Nor will I, Doyle said.
We have a two-month bill, and we are being asked to do a two-month bill in two days, McCormack said.

So here's the scoop. I've had low milk supply and my baby is now 9 months old. I was told by an LC to pump IN BETWEEN FEEDINGS to increase supply and not to expect an increase until about 9 months and 10 months bc i started pumping at around 3 1/2 months. I pump 7-8 times a day. By this time i could wean... but i want to bf until he is 1 year. However, i'm not confident that my breasts will produce enough then, so i'm afraid on quitting supplementing with donated breast milk (via SNS) and without pumping. I have taken Goat's Rue and saw some improvement but i cant say that i'm confident in just quit pumping and letting the baby suck it all out since my letdown reflex seems to take a while. I guess it's bc I've used the SNS for most of our bfing relationship i'm lost without it and at a loss.
On another note: I'm not even sure how often my child should be fed. I'm still doing the 'once every two hours' rule. I've started 'sampling of solids' and i still offer the breast afterwards which he takes most of the time. Should i be feeding him more solids? It's just so much work, balancing pumping, nursing and feeding him solids. I'm so confused.
Since i've shared all this, what do you recommend on pump weaning and baby weaning? I'm pumping to increase supply. How would i go about pump weaning? When should i stop pumping if i see that my baby is still taking supplement past 10 months? (I have noticed he takes less now, usually 1 oz to 1 1/2 oz, except for his last feeding at night, which is usually 2 oz). Should i feed more solids? How should i wean the baby? What feeding times or situations should i keep?
I just want more time with my baby and also make sure i'm not going to get mastitis or anything like that if i dont wean off properly from baby and pump.

Quite disagree here - I easily prefer the two after the s/t as here I find almost half the tracks to be lacking (and never listen to the last). Mexicola and Hispanic Impressions are easily my fav songs here, Quit also quite good but I think it's a bit longer than it needs to be
In saying all that, I haven't listened to it for ages and could change my opinion like I just did with Kataklysm's Victims, though I really doubt it. I don't see why QotSA's lyrics would be as centrally important as with that album, or Korn, Sonic Syndicate or Deftones - for whom my respect has also changed in the last couple weeks by focussing on the lyrics (going up for all except the last)
