We enjoyed our stay at Coachman's Cottage in a lovely, beautifully appointed room. It was a welcome refuge after our busy days exploring the Manchester and Liverpool areas. Manon is a warm and caring person and was able to recommend a number of places to visit that we enjoyed. The only negative was the lack of a door on the shower/toilet room. There are some things that we would rather not share. However the positives outweighed this negative and we would highly recommend Coachman's Cottage.
Dear Manon and Paul,
You're both great people and fantastic hosts. Your Cottage is beautiful and we feel like home.
The breakfast in the morning was incredible! We will never again eat such a good English breakfast.
Also we slept awesome and love the bedsheet. :)
We love to come back and hope to see you soon again.
Best Regards Sonja, Dennis, Max

Grand Rapids first-graders surprised with new books
Posted on May 16, 2014
Jean Estebez-Figueroa, a first-grade teacher from Southwest Community Campus elementary school in Grand Rapids, was surprised with an entire library of books for her classroom.
Estebez-Figueroa is one of six area teachers who are receiving hundreds of library books as part of the Classroom Library Book Grant program in the College of Education at Grand Valley State University.
Faculty members Sheryl Vlietstra and Megan Freudigmann came up with the idea of seeking a grant as a way to help new teachers build their classroom libraries. "New teachers are excited to land their first job," said Vlietstra. "They arrive with lots of energy and great ideas but often find there are no materials to help them teach. It can take new teachers several years of personal spending to develop a functional classroom library."
The first-grade students were excited to begin to read some of the books. Estebez-Figueroa read a story about a lion which called for the students to roar at the end.
Other teachers receiving classroom books include:
* Katie Lett from Bowen Elementary School in Kentwood
* Beth Ruhlman from West Godwin Elementary in Wyoming
* Tim Zinger from Lincoln Park Elementary-Mona Shores in Norton Shores
* Jamie Sanborn from Pathfinder Elementary School in Fremont
* Christina Brown from Coloma Middle School in Coloma
The Classroom Library Book Grant program was awarded a $2,500 Meemic Foundation for the Future of Education grant in February to help support the development of resources for new teacher classroom libraries. The program is open to alumni who began their elementary teaching careers within the last three years and who are teaching in underserved districts in the greater Grand Rapids area.

CRYSTAL LAKE – Listen to unique perspectives of two historical events featuring a multimedia presentation by Barry Bradford, presidential award-winning civil-rights activist, who will present "I Have A Dream – 50 Years Later" at from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 6 in the Luecht Conference Center at McHenry County College.
Martin Luther King's speech, "I Have a Dream" is one of the most famous ever given by an American. The speech was delivered on Aug. 28, 1963, and it stirred, inspired and challenged a nation.
Bradford, an award-winning storyteller, historian and author, will delve beyond the famous catchphrase to answer the questions: What did King really say and why did he say it? Bradford will take the audience deep into the events culminating in one of America's most dramatic moments.
Another presentation by Bradford, "Watergate at 40," will take place from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and from 7 to 8:30 p.m. April 11 at the college, 8900 Route 14.
Bradford will shed new light on the people and defendants of Watergate, the 1973 series of events that culminated in the resignation of both the United States president and vice president.
The lectures are free and open to the public.
The lecture series is sponsored by the MCC's Student Life and Multicultural Programs. Groups are welcome to make reservations.
For information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call Amy Carzoli at 815-455-8764 or Kristine Emrich at 815-479-7570.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two NASA astronauts spent more than seven hours working outside the International Space Station yesterday and repaired a critical cooling system.
It was the second spacewalk in three days for flight engineers Rick Mastracchio and Mike Hopkins, who wrapped up the cumbersome work with only one problem.
As they were installing a spare cooling pump, ammonia leaked out from one of four fluid lines. The toxic liquid turns to flakes in the cold and airless environment of space.
The astronauts spent an extra 15 minutes in the station's Quest airlock to bake out any residue on their spacesuits. The 71/2-hour spacewalk was broadcast live on NASA Television.
"It took a couple of licks to get her done, but we got it," Hopkins radioed to flight controllers at NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston.
An initial check in the final hour of the spacewalk showed the new pump was "alive and well," NASA mission commentator Rob Navias reported.
During a spacewalk on Saturday, the astronauts removed a failed cooling system pump and attached it to a temporary storage site at the base of the station's mobile rail cart.
NASA is considering a future spacewalk to repair the refrigerator-size pump and use it as a spare, officials said.
In addition to the new pump installed yesterday, there are two other spare pumps aboard the station, a $100 billion research complex that flies about 260 miles above Earth.
The U.S. side of the station, which includes Japanese and European laboratories, has been without half its cooling system since Dec. 11, when a valve failed inside a pump.
The six-member crew was never in danger, NASA said, but both cooling systems are needed to control heat from the station's modules and labs.
With just one cooling loop, astronauts had to turn off unnecessary equipment and some science experiments. The Russian part of the station has a separate cooling system.
The spacewalks were NASA's first since July, when the water-cooled spacesuit worn by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano developed a leak.
Engineers then traced the problem to contaminated water in a device that circulates water and air in a spacesuit and takes moisture out of the air. How the water became contaminated remains unclear.

The proteins in tofu can be difficult for some babies to digest (even harder than some meats), so its probably best to wait to introduce it until the baby is around 8 months. When you do decide to give your baby tofu, make sure its the "firm" kind, which is much higher in calories and protein than soft tofu.
My pediatrician told me to start giving my baby yogurt at 6 months, it was one of his first foods. We started with plain organic yogurt, and than introduced the YoBaby after he showed no signs of sensitivity. The fruits in the YoBaby yogurts, not including strawberry, all have a low risk of allergy, but be sure to wait 5 days between introducing different flavors.
Soy protein also contains a lot of natural occuring estrogen, so you want to limit the amount of soy you give.

I believe you are supposed to wait until about a year for yogurt (not sure though), but I personally don't do the YoBaby. I think it has way too much sugar. I would just buy the plain yogurt and add fresh fruits to it. JMO

We got the okay for yogurt at 6 months, actually gave it to her about 7. I make my own organic plain, only because it's cheaper than buying it and easy to do. I also chose not to do YoBaby because of the sugar content.

YoBaby has a plain flavor now with a lot less sugar (6g of sugar per 4OZ serving). It's not easy to find it but I bought it at Whole Foods. I waited until DS was 8 months and just introduced this week. I'm planning on introducing tofu tomorrow.
I've been giving my baby yo-baby yogurth since she was about 6 mo.old. I tried the plain one with added fruit, but she does not like it (I don't blame her!) so I give her the regular one, they have all kinds of flavors and some have added cereal. I also mix it with her regular oatmel, and she loves it.
She already learned to recognize the little containers and she goes crazy when sees me pulling one out to feed her.
About tofu, not sure about how to give it to her, so any suggestions will be appreciated. Plain? raw?
"Tofu is a protein food that may be difficult for an immature tummy to digest. Along with Meat and Egg Yolks and other more complex proteins, most pediatricians recommend offering tofu to the baby who is 8 months of age or older. As Tofu is a soy product, you should not offer it to an infant who has any allergy to soy!"
quoted frome Wholesomebabyfood, here, where there are serving suggestions too.
the Wholesomebabyfood site actually derives its info from here, a commercial site of a soy corporate producer... This makes me (JMO) doubt seriously about the 'frankness' of the info, IYKWIM...
There are more and more studies about the "dark side" of soy products... I have many links in my language, I'll try to find out some in english...
Furthermore, remember that soy is almost always a GMO product: if you still want to feed it to your LO is ok, just be aware of its provenience...
back soon with the promised links!

It's pretty common to see application stories, where engineering software vendors try to demonstrate why their software is wonderful.
I find application stories interesting, but they don't really tell me what I want to know: What is the right tool for the job? Or rather, what are the right tools for the job?
I started thinking this way maybe 28 years ago, when I'd see different types of manufactured goods, and ask myself if the CAD software I was using could handle that kind of design.
Even up to 10 years ago, the answer has too often been "no." Fortunately, things have gotten better—but choosing the right tools for the job hasn't gotten particularly easier. There are just so many options today.
In the sprit of understanding engineering software tools, I'd like to start a thought experiment: Looking at particular products, and considering what toolsets would be best for their design.
Not that I actually know what the best toolsets would be. I'm not that smart. But I do know a lot of smart people—on both the user and vendor sides of the markets—read this blog. So, consider this a request for feedback. I'd like to hear from software vendors about their tools. And from people who have real-world design/engineering experience with a particular type of product and the relevant tools. I'll gather what I learn, and write a follow-up article.
Inspired by an upcoming webinar, the first product type I'd like to look at is a golf club head.
Golf Lessons
This Wednesday (December 7, 11:00 AM CST ), Pointwise, Intelligent Light and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga SimCenter are presenting a free webinar that illustrates the various steps of the complete computational fluid dynamics (CFD) process typically followed in aerodynamic analyses of realistic geometries.
They'll be creating meshes with Pointwise, and with tools developed at the UTC SimCenter. Steady and unsteady CFD solutions will be computed on a distributed memory LINUX compute cluster with TENASI, a UTC SimCenter parallel-unstructured Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes code. Post-processing will be performed using FieldView by Intelligent Light.
For this webinar, they're using a pretty well-known type of geometry: a golf club head (a wood.)
I assume they chose a golf club head as an example because it's interesting, and it lets them demonstrate what their tools can do—not because their software is the only (or even best) choice for analyzing golf club head designs. (I'm thinking it's possibly massive overkill. But there's nothing wrong with that, is there?)
What tools does it take to design a golf club head (specifically, a wood?)
The USGA has a set of rules that govern the design of golf clubs (and their heads.) They cover all kinds of arcane details, including everything from the geometry of grooves to the volume of heads.
The goal of club designer is to work within those constraints, maximizing range and accuracy, providing as much forgiveness for swing variations and errors as possible, while making an aesthetically desirable product. (What, you don't think golfers care about aesthetics?)
The fact that different number woods have differing face angles would suggest that that an ideal CAD program for golf club head design might have parametric capabilities. The USGA rules provide a set of constraints that also hint at using a parametric CAD program.
Still, not all CAD systems can effectively use the USGA constraints as parameters. For example, one of the rules is that a wood head's volume must not exceed 460 cubic centimeters. For many CAD systems, it's simply impossible to drive geometric dimensions using volume. It gets worse: The USGA limits the moment of inertia of a club head to 5900 g-cm2. See if you can plug that constraint into most CAD systems.
Woods are aerodynamic clubs, designed to be swung fast. While a wood's face may be flat, not much else about it is. This implies that an ideal CAD system would have the ability to handle class-A surfaces. Certainly with G2, and possibly with G3 surface continuity.
With any product that's aerodynamic in design, it's a given that CFD should be in the design toolset. At least, if you want to compete with the market leaders. If you really wanted to complicate the analysis, you could optimize for under-water shots, for when players need to hit their balls out of a water hazard. (Or you could add many-body dynamics analysis for when they need to hit out of a sand trap.)
It's also a given that FEA should be in the bag of tricks, to optimize strength and stiffness within the USGA geometric constraints.
Modal, vibration, and acoustic analysis might make sense too (though these might imply analyzing a full club, not just a club head.) Modal response and vibration figure into performance, but sound figures into aesthetics. Guess which is more important? Karsten Solheim built a golf club empire based on the sound his putter made when hitting a ball: Ping.
Beyond CAD and CAE, there's the issue of optimization. To do real justice to the problem of golf head design requires going beyond the "red is bad, green is good" school of static FEA thinking. It requires going to the Pareto frontier, to find the set of optimal design solutions. There are a number of interesting tools available to help you get there.
Chances are that, if you're going to do a truly rigorous design of a golf club head, you might want to model a golf swing. For that, you'll need a computer algebra system. And, since you'll eventually want to do testing with physical prototype, you'll probably want an instrumentation/data acquisition system, to capture and use test data.
And you thought golf clubs were simple.
Well, golf clubs look simple, at least. But they require real engineering, based on real science. That implies that they require serious engineering software tools. I don't think you can get away with using SketchUp and AutoCAD LT. (As nice as they are for some things.)
The toolset for designing commercially competitive wood heads (which are not usually made out of wood anymore) includes CAD/CAID, meshing, FEA, CFD, post-processing, optimization, math, instrumentation, and probably a half-dozen things I've forgotten. I'm not counting manufacturing tools, because, at least for wood heads, most are produced by foundaries using investment casting.
While I could tell you, off the top of my head, what toolsets I think might work well for this design problem, I'm far more interested in hearing what toolsets you think would work best. If you have some thoughts, either leave a comment, or write me a note at email@example.com.

On the frontlines
Substitute teachers deserve more money, benefits and respect
By Randy Jurado Ertll 06/05/2014
Substitute teachers working in the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) have no labor union representation, which makes a recent decision by the PUSD to reduce their pay particularly painful.
Many substitute teachers have decided to begin organizing to demand that the pay rate be returned to the original amount and that they be reimbursed for the difference.
Many PUSD substitute teachers have chosen to work with the Communication Workers of America (CWA) to obtain official union membership.
They have already obtained the majority of signatures to officially become unionized in order to demand a fair pay and obtain certain benefits that they have been denied for far too long.
Let me tell you, being a substitute teacher is not easy. It takes courage and commitment to do this job. They must work at schools that are not familiar to some subs, and certain schools are very tough when it comes to certain student behaviors and attitudes toward subs.
It takes years of teaching experience to learn certain classroom management and teaching skills. First, you have to be an expert in most subject fields, since you may be assigned to teach math, science, English, or even physical education classes.
It can be an unpredictable job, but substitute teachers become nimble, efficient and effective in navigating various public school bureaucracies.
They are required to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree and to pass the CBEST teaching credentialing test. Also, they have to jump through many hoops to become cleared by the governor's office and pass extensive background checks conducted by the state Department of Justice (DOJ). They need to obtain fingerprint clearance.
With this in mind, substitute teachers deserve respect and equal pay with certain benefits. They should actually be paid what regular teachers make on an average day. The Los Angeles Unified School District pays close to $200 per day, in some cases more than $200 for long-term substitute jobs.
It is important to note that substitute teaching has become more competitive since many teachers who were laid off now rely on substitute teaching on a regular basis. Although our economy has made life harder for substitute teachers, they do it because they have a passion for teaching and for helping to serve as positive role models and inspiration for students.
One substitute at a particular school can help change the life of a student via a lesson plan, or reading an inspirational paragraph or chapter, or assigning students to write essays about themselves or about real life challenges that students face on a daily basis. Some substitute teachers can inspire students to go into certain career fields or to make the right life decisions.
The hardest classes to do substitute teaching in are middle schools and certain high school classes, since students are going through major growing changes. But substituting at elementary schools requires even greater responsibility.
Substitute teachers sometimes have to also play the role of psychologists or counselors. Many do this by simply listening to students. Students may not say much at times, but they listen to the words being used and see the behavior of substitute teachers.
Substitute teachers must follow all of the rules and regulations that teachers must follow on a daily basis and the policies set by each school district and the state Department of Education.
Now part-time professors, or adjunct professors, are facing a similar dilemma which substitute teachers have been facing for decades. They are required to teach, but they are paid peanuts, especially since they are perceived as little more than emergency personnel who parachute into a classroom for one or two days and then leave.
However, these should not be perceived as short-term, transactional relationships. Sometimes substitutes eventually choose to become full-time teachers. They find that teaching is their life's calling.
Substitute teachers are not robots or made of metal. Substitutes are human beings who have feelings, emotions and families.
Many struggle in paying household bills, medical bills, rent and mortgages. It would only be fair, equitable and humane for the PUSD Board of Education to reinstate the $140 a day rate and to offer certain employee benefits to all substitute teachers.
In the long run, it will benefit PUSD much more since substitute teachers will eventually choose to stick around with PUSD, especially if a retirement plan is offered.
Let us show substitute teachers that we appreciate and respect their courage of being educators.
In the toughest of circumstances, they do not back down. The resilience, fortitude and courage that it takes to be in the trenches of the classroom is a great example for our PUSD students to follow.

The Pasadena Subs are organizing our own union. We believe that if a Union wants to take our dues money, then they should stand behind us 100% even to the point of providing lawyers to sue to get own illegally taken money back.
To date not one Union has made that commitment, so on Friday, June 6, 2014, the Pasadena Subs United filed paperwork to form our own Union.

My SIL watches my baby while I work and she says that she thinks the baby is starting to want more milk at each bottle then I pump in a session. BTW my LO is almost 5 months. What should I do to yield more milk during pumping sessions? I already do breast compression during pumping, and I don't have any extra stashed. I am going to try to build up a stash on days off.

Berkeley County deputy on administrative leave after alleged inappropriate communication with minor
Little hope to dissolve Parkways Authority
There are a growing number of West Virginia legislators who would like to see the West Virginia Parkways Authority, which is responsible for the 88-mile West Virginia Turnpike between Charleston and Princeton, dissolved and control of the road turned over to the state Division of Highways. There is even a Senate Transportation Committee resolution (SCR55) that calls for a study of the feasibility of eliminating the Parkways Authority.
During last week's round of legislative interim committee meetings in Charleston, the Joint Committee on Infrastructure revived the idea, claiming it would save West Virginia money by eliminating duplication of services by the two agencies. But so long as there are outstanding bonds, there seems to be little hope such a move will happen.
The rub is a clause in the West Virginia Constitution that forbids the state from taking on debt without approval of the voters, according to Bryan Helmick, who serves as bond counsel for the Parkways Authority. The state Supreme Court has outlined rare exceptions, including creating an independent agency to take on debt in the state's place-the reason the Parkways Authority was created in the first place.
But for the legislature to approve a move that would enable state government to assume this debt, lawmakers would first have to get voters in a statewide election to approve this step. And as Helmick pointed out, the contract with bondholders requires that the Parkways Authority maintain toll booths on the Turnpike and also handle maintenance of the road.
Sen. Bill Cole, R-Mercer, wanted to know if the state could actually dissolve the Parkways Authority but keep its governing board around in a move that might satisfy the bondholders. Helmick agreed that it might work but said it would be "frowned upon" by credit rating agencies.
One sure way to handle this problem would be for the state to pay off the remaining $55 million of bond debt before the bonds mature in 2019. But even that unlikely scenario has some pitfalls. First of all, there is a prepayment penalty which would cost the state an additional $4.5 million.
Another roadblock to Sen. Cole's suggestion, according to Helmick, is that the bondholders' contract also requires the Parkways Authority to maintain tollbooths on the Turnpike and control maintenance on the road. He said it is a "revenue generating asset" and the bondholders "want to make sure that asset is maintained … at a level to make sure people will still be willing to travel on it and pay the toll."
Even when the bonds are paid off in 2019, the Division of Highways may not want to take control of the Turnpike. Greg Barr, the director of the Parkways Authority, said it would cost the state about $59 million per year to maintain the toll road, including $25 million a year for bridges.
The governor's Blue Ribbon Commission on Highways has recommended that tolls be continued another 30 years to finance a new $1 billion bond issue for statewide road construction and maintenance.

Meanwhile, the continued problem of overcrowded prisons and jails in West Virginia has now become a priority with the state Division of Corrections, according to Commissioner Jim Rubenstein. He told a legislative interim committee last week that his agency hopes to reduce the number of prisoners currently housed in regional jails by half.
He said the state is moving inmates into its new facility in Salem, which will eventually hold 388 prisoners. Rubenstein also said the Division of Corrections is also adding 56 beds at the Saint Mary's Correctional Center and 70 new beds for female offenders at the Lakin Correctional Center near Point Pleasant. There is also a possibility that as many as 400 prisoners could be relocated to out-of-state facilities if the state selects a contractor to house those inmates.
Joe DeLong, executive director of the West Virginia Regional Jails Authority, said there are currently about 1,800 Division of Corrections inmates in the state's regional jails. He said a few hundred are there awaiting sentencing, but about 1,400 to 1,600 are "backlogged" because Corrections has no room for them in the state facilities.
The Division of Corrections pays the regional jail authority $48.25 a day for each of these inmates. DeLong said his agency could lose about $11 million next year as prisoners are moved to other locations.
- ? ?
Finally, one of the issues already on the table for the 2014 regular 60-day session of the West Virginia Legislature is a study of funding options to maintain the 35 state parks, seven forests, five wildlife management areas and two rail trails that altogether had more than 6.6 million visitors last year. One option that Sen. William Laird, D-Fayette, would like to avoid is charging an entrance fee for visitors at state parks.
Sen. Laird said West Virginia is among a few states that do not charge an entrance fee at state parks. He said he wants to "exhaust lots of other potential avenues to address these issues" that would not include consideration of an entry fee for visitors. The parks do charge guests who stay at the lodges, cabins and campsites. Last year there were 800,000 overnight visitors to the state parks.

#1 – This foreign born former A+ list entertainer(singer) is really sick again. He needs to come clean about his disease so people can rally around the guy.
George Michael
Bummer… I like himReplyCancel
Enty revealing this one?? Did GM pass away?ReplyCancel
Id rather have the blind instead of this horrible news.ReplyCancel
I wonder if he has AIDS related dementia. It would certainly explain the ongoing respiratory illnesses paired with erratic behavior.
I'm not just being ghoulish, I used to work on an Alzheimer's program. Dementia is a really miserable disease and it's particularly horrific when the person is young 🙁ReplyCancel
DM is all over the place with him today:
Hes shut himself off from everyone and
He wants to reform Wham!
He's one of the only Gay men, I always wished was closeted strait. He was so swoon-worthy in his Prime and that voice… wow. Wish him well, no matter what he chooses to do with his life.ReplyCancel
I agree with @Pip and @Violet.ReplyCancel
Absolutely, @Pip. It's one thing to say he needs to come clean so his former partners know, quite another to suggest if he doesn't come clean, nobody will rally and he will die. WTH is a rally for HIV? Prayer circles? Shamans? Oil anointment?ReplyCancel
Some people would rather not have anyone "rally 'round" them. Personally, I find the idea appalling. Being a private person is not a character flaw.ReplyCancel
Vera Christina – I agree about dementia. My MIL has it and it's been very hard for everyone! She's at the point now where she won't bathe and language and feeding herself are very difficult. She needs to be in a fulltime care facility but a family member is in denial about what she needs. It's hell.
As far as George, maybe he doesn't want anyone to rally. I saw that with my uncle who was a very, very handsome man and losing his looks along with his health was a huge blow.ReplyCancel
Yeah, everyone will rally around a dude who got tainted via anon public bathroom sex. Sure.ReplyCancel
@Sherry, hugs to you. My SO's grandmother had Alzheimer's and his mother took care of her until Grandma passed. A very difficult time. 🙁 I'm sure your mom knows, somewhere, that you love and care for her even now. Many, many hugs and blessings.ReplyCancel
maybe he has full blown aids now, maybe there is nothing else anone can do, Steve Jobs did the same thing, he only had family visit him in the last days, cut off everyone elseReplyCancel
You know what? I read this blog and the comments daily and rarely get involved in the shenanigans but…seriously?!? First of all, it's rather hypocritical to make such a remark when you so frequently choose to share your own sexual preferences which may not be to everyone's taste. I'm not sure why you think that ranking women according to the orifice of your choice is ok but anonymous, consensual sex isn't. I have no idea if George Michael has HIV or full blown AIDS but I certainly know that he is deserving of compassion if he has, regardless of how it was contracted. Knowingly spreading HIV is a criminal act and, as far as I know, not one that George Michael has been accused (legally) of. Save your nasty, homophobic remarks for such time as he is proven guilty of something other than having sex in a way that you don't…if, in fact you have sex at all.ReplyCancel
Where the HELL IS MY MAIN BLIND!!!!ReplyCancel
My guess is word is out that he is dying, any hint in the Daily Mail? or soon to come or The Sun.ReplyCancel
From what I have read, George wanted to come out so many times because he was miserable with the facade but kept getting talked out of it including Andrew. I think George was devastated when the love of his life died of AIDS, a Brazilian man I believe, and he never really got over it.
Talented guy, voice of an angel.ReplyCancel
I didnt get that enty wants him to out his illness for any other reason that to reap any love and affection coming his way. But as i learned when my mother was ill and died of cancer, everyone has a right to orchestrate their own death. Their own way, own terms. If indeed this is whats going on.ReplyCancel
Sherry, I'm sorry your family is dealing with this. I highly recommend using music (from her favorite artists and era) to soothe her.ReplyCancel
Poor beautiful George. I love him so much.ReplyCancel
I fucking love George Michael
This is terribleReplyCancel
He's a great talent. I hope he gets whatever help he needs.ReplyCancel
Did this new Entward not read his/her copies of the Brit tabs? Between George's new single, rumours of a tour and now him having said he and Andrew spoke about a Glastonbury performance I'm going to cross my fingers and toes for George!!
Love him and will be first in line to buy tickets if he ever comes back to Toronto
@Sherry If you haven't heard of this check into it, coconut oil for Alzheimer's. Here is a youtube of some good info: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dr+mary+newport+coconut+oil
If that link doesn't come through google Dr. Mary Newport and coconut oil.
@BeckyMae: I don't know what cottaging is. In my comment, I meant HE got tainted, i.e. infected, not that the activity is inherently tainted. I don't care who is fucking who in public bathrooms, but if yer barebackin in there, don't expect sympathy when ya catch the bug.
Also, I have h8d George Michael since Wham, so I don't care how much longer he is above ground.ReplyCancel
I echo what everyone's said: the man has the voice of an angel, and I've loved him since Wham! and I don't care who he sleeps with. I have the same love for Ricky Martin – it's not like I'm actually planning on trying to get a date with either of these men :-). Fantasy, people! I will cry real tears when George Michael dies :-(.
Count, I kind of get where you're coming from – my husband waited YEARS for Harry Carey to kick the bucket – that man bugged the shit out of him.ReplyCancel
Wow, @demandah just dropped the mic and walked out of the thread. That's a burn and a half.ReplyCancel
I don't wish this horrid disease on anyone BUT his well documented antics were like playing Russian Roulette with a bullet in almost every chamber. I can't find a lot of sympathy for someone with this type destructive behavior. How can so many of you rail on Lilo and give Michael a pass?ReplyCancel
Cowbulls I think the difference is, and let me first preface this by saying like Jerkula, I too have despised George Michael since Wham; the difference is George Michael remained a professional and never let his personal life derail his career. He never had a reputation of being late, not showing up and we're speaking of someone who has had a 25 year or longer career.
Lindsay Lohan has been documented being late if she shows up at all, not to mention having the nerve to be an entitled, pompous diva who has been given countless chances and has yet to show she has been deserving of even one of them. I understand she had a jacked up childhood with those parents of hers but she needs to get over it because now the ball is in her court and the responsibility and blame lies with her.ReplyCancel

HEATHER FARR CLASSIC Longbow Golf ClubMesa, ArizonaApril 9-11, 2004
MESA, Ariz. â Rory Hie of Lakewood, Calif., shot a 7-under-par 64 to set the competitive course record and take the Boys Division lead at the Heather Far Classic. Finishing with a 1-under-par 70, Tiffany Joh of San Diego leads the Girls Division going into the final round.
The Heather Farr Classic, conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, features 120 players, ages 12-18, from 16 states and Canada. The 36-hole stroke play event is being played on the par-71 layout at Longbow Golf Club.
Hie hit eight greens on the front and was 6-under-par going into the back nine. After Hieâs lone bogey on No. 12, he hit six fairways and seven greens on the back en route to a personal best of 30-34â64. Hie finished the day with six birdies and one eagle.
âI got up-and-down on the first hole and then from there I just took off,â said 15-year-old Hie. âAll of my iron shots were close and I made every putt inside of 10 feet.â
Hie, who finished in the top 10 three times at AJGA events in 2003, is in search of his first national victory.
âI felt very relaxed during the round,â said the leader. âI would like to go into the final round feeling just as relaxed and confident.â
Rounding out the Boys Division tied at 68 are California natives Tim Cha of Chino Hill, and Lucas Lee of Torrance. Tied for fourth are Tyler Matthews of Redmond, Wash., and Ryan Brooks of Mesa at 69.
In the Girls Division, Joh took the lead after play was suspended for approximately an hour and a half.
Joh made five birdies, including a birdie on the final hole, which was played after the sun had set. The high school junior said the delay both helped and hindered her play.
âI was really going for my shots up until the last hole,â said 17-year-old Joh. âBut with the final hole being played in the dark, I was concentrating on keeping the ball in the fairway.â
Joh was even-par on the front nine with two birdies and hit five greens. On the back she carded three birdies and finished her round with 36-34â70.
Rounding out the Girls Division tied for second at 72 are Californians Esther Choe of LaQuinta, Paula Creamer of Pleasanton and Jennie Lee of Huntington Beach.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

The San Diego Chargers were expected to have LBs Melvin Ingram (knee) and Jarret Johnson at outside linebacker in Week 1. However, Ingram is likely done for the season, meaning LB Larry English might be in line for a bigger role. The team also has LB Tourek Williams, a sixth-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, as well as LBs Frank Beltre and Devan Walker on the roster. The team is expected to explore their options in free agency.

This week, Adam sits down with a topic we're all familiar with; bosses. Not the guy who wears short sleeved shirts and scolds you for spelling errors. No, we're talking about the larger than life characters you fight at the end of a level, or to be more specific, the huge guy at the very end of the game. The Sess has a bone to pick with final bosses, because they always seem to be a bit removed from the rest of the game, requiring simple memorization or trial and error to defeat them, rather than usage of the skills you've acquired throughout the entire game.
This is where you guys come in. Leave a comment below outlining how you think game developers could improve final boss battles. Just try to be civil, expressive, and creative. But first, press play and find out what Adam has to say on the subject.

text: Baby is 6 weeks old and I've been trying for the past 2 days to get back to bf after stopping 2 weeks ago. The 1st 4 weeks of bf was not going too well (latch problems) and she was mostly getting bottles (formula + whatever I was able to pump). Ok, I need some input! About 2 hours or so ago, baby starting fussing & rooting while I was holding her (spoiled little stinker, getting held all the time!) and she wasn't due for her next bottle for another hour so there's my chance to put her to the breast. This has been my plan, to try to bf in between bottle feeds; I'm going to fine tune that plan as I go along. So, I put on some beautiful music and we get all comfy & snuggly on my bed then I give her my L breast in the cross cradle hold and she actually latched on pretty well but the thing is, after a few sucks, she started gagging and coughing & letting go of the breast. I try several times & the same reaction. I put her in the football hold and she was ok that way and nursed for maybe 10/15 min (? wasn't watching the clock). She came off on her own but then started rooting again so I figure maybe she didn't get much & she was mostly doing comfort sucking (?). At that point I switch to the R breast, using the cross cradle hold, and again, she starts all this gagging & coughing. After several tries, I put her in football hold and she was ok after that. What could be going on here? WHY is she gagging like this???? I'm scared to try again b/c I don't want her to get turned off from bf if she's having an unpleasant experience.

I have to go back to work in Jan (2nd) and my little O is having a lot of difficulty with the bottle. She is refusing to take it. She has only had the breast, no pacifer or bottle until the other day. I am happy about that but I think it has also hindered me. I am already nervous about going back to work and this is not making it any easier. Does anyone have any ideas about getting her to be okay with the bottle? I wish I could stay home but I am a teacher and need to work atleast until June....HELP!!!

Download history functionality on file comments for mod authorsposted by Dark0ne Site NewsWe've updated the sites today with what will probably be the last new feature we add to the sites for a little while as we focus fully on expanding the Nexus sites to support all PC games which I mentioned in my recent blog piece.
Today's update has added a new link titled "Download history" to file comments which is displayed next to the post date information for mod authors on their own file page comment areas. When the author of the file clicks this link they'll be able to see your download history for that file (and only that file), which will display the file version you downloaded and when you downloaded it.
You might be asking why, and what's the point? There's a few good reasons why it would be handy for a mod author to see your download history for their file.
One of the assets of Nexus functionality over Steam Workshop is the fact users have complete version control over the files they download. If a mod author releases an update that has a major bug in it then users can roll-back to a previous version or skip updating to the latest version until the mod author fixes the bug. This is in direct contrast to Steam Workshop where mod updates are applied automatically, without warning or a user choice, when a mod author uploads a new version.
However, with complete version control for users also comes a typical issue: users reporting bugs on old versions (say v1.2) that were fixed in newer versions (say v1.4). Because the user is still using the old version the bug still exists for them. When reporting the bug the user (more often than not) might not report what version of the mod they're using, so the mod author has to waste time getting to the bottom of whether the bug is still in their current version or whether the user is using an old version that has since been patched. This is something we've attempted to help fix with this feature.
When a mod author can see your download history for their file they can quickly skip that "What version are you using?" step of communication and quickly provide you with feedback based on your download history. It's hopefully going to save mod authors some time when trying to help you with your problems.
Another good reason is in helping to prevent mod trolling. If someone is trolling a file page comment section about how the file doesn't work or how it doesn't do what it says the mod author can quickly check their download history for the file and see whether the user has actually even bothered to download the file at all. And my personal favourite, "I've been using this mod for over 3 weeks and it's broken all my saves", *checks the download history and finds they only downloaded the file 10 minutes ago*, yeah...
To alleviate a few privacy fears let me just tell you that this feature does NOT give mod authors access to your complete download history for every file you've ever downloaded. Only the author of the file in question can see your download history, and only for THAT file. If I've released mod A and you post in the comment section for mod A I would not be able to see that you've downloaded mods B, C, D and E as well. When I broached this subject in the private mod author forums a relatively valid argument was raised that people don't want their download histories to be public knowledge. However, having said that, if you've downloaded a nude mod, for example, and you didn't want it to be public knowledge that you'd downloaded the file, you wouldn't be posting in the comments section of the nude mod. By posting in the comments section of a nude mod you've already expressed your interest in said mod, and a mod author being shown your download history for that file isn't going to make that interest any more or less obvious for the public.
This update is now live on all the Nexus sites. I hope that the mod authors can put it to good use.

PART II Ability to Borrow Money
When public funds are not available or are insufficient for charter school facilities, operators who need an infusion of capital, whether to buy a building or to improve facilities they own or lease, typically have to borrow the funds. Yet, absent state policy support, several inherent and overlapping characteristics of charter schools can make it difficult for them to access low-cost financing.
Lack of tax base. Traditional public schools typically rely on their school district, local government, or some combination of both, to cover facility-related costs, using funds generated by local property taxes. If needed, a district or local government can borrow against future tax revenue and, in some instances, can use the ballot box to ask voters for additional funds, often in the form of general obligation bonds-a designation meaning the bonds are backed by the credit or taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction. In contrast, charter schools have no direct access to this public revenue stream. Even if they did, there would be the question of whom to tax, because charter schools typically have no geographic boundaries. Without a taxpayer pledge of fiscal support over a defined period of time, which would provide a source of consistent revenue to pay off a loan, charter schools are less appealing to lenders who, if willing to loan at all, are likely to demand a higher interest rate.
Higher risk. Unlike traditional public schools, charter schools have the potential to go out of business (e.g., lose their charter and, thus, their per-student funding, or declare bankruptcy), which is a key reason lenders tend to view the schools as relatively risky borrowers.24 Compounding this are perceived risks associated with charter schools' lack of regular tax revenue to repay loans. As a result, the interest rate charter schools pay on loans is typically higher than it would be for a traditional school district using general obligation bond financing.
Limitations on access to tax-exempt bonding. Because charter schools lack a tax base, their ability to raise money through bonds is significantly limited compared to that of a traditional school district. The bonds that traditional school districts often issue, directly or indirectly, to finance school facilities are attractive to some investors because the bonds offer the safety of what is effectively a government guarantee of the investment (as well as, typically, tax exemption on their interest earnings). In turn, these investors are willing to accept a lower interest rate. Yet this relatively low-cost financing strategy is not readily accessible to all charter schools.25

I have an over supply issue, as well as an OALD, so I've been block feeding. It seems to be making it worse!! I leak from both breasts all the time. I'm going to have to take out stock in breast pads. LOL.
Anyway, with DD's reflux, plus the OALD, nursing is pure torture sometimes. I have tried catching the let down in a towel before hand, which sort of helps, but she still chokes because it seems I have a fast/abundant supply ALL the time. What do I do?
And as if nursing wasn't difficult, but it seems I stay constatantly engorged. I will let her nurse for a few minutes on the engorged side to lessen the discomfort, otherwise I'm lop sided with a hard lump in my breast. As soon as I switch breasts the other one fills up and by the time I'm done on that side, the one I just switched from is engorged already.

Monarda are very attractive to Bees and Hummingbirds. Strong grower in the North, can be overpowering in Southern gardens. Erect stems support uniquely shaped flowers. All these varieties have good to excellent mildew resistance, but if plants are stressed by drying out, spraying for powdery mildew can be necessary.
Prefers moist, compost-rich soil. Divide spring or fall every 3-4 years. Thinning stems out to increase air circulation will help prevent powdery mildew, as will keeping plants watered during dry spells. Foliage can be cut back after flowering to encourage fresh new leaves.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

By Alan W. Block: The Orange County Register
It's almost enough to make you wonder whether the cause of individual liberty is lost.
Shortly after the financial crisis hit, Jacob Weisberg, editor in chief of the online magazine Slate, wrote an article with the headline "Libertarianism is dead."
The burden of the piece was that, since deregulation and untrammeled free markets have been so thoroughly discredited by this crisis, libertarians should just crawl in their holes and never be heard from again. And the attitude that this crisis means what we really need is more regulation and a retreat from the "theology" of free markets was heard on all sides, from the Obama campaign to the McCain campaign to most of the commentary on network and cable news.
Weisberg was wrong in his assessment of the causes of the financial crisis, of course. Not only was it not due to deregulation, but one of the pieces of deregulation, the 1999 repeal of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act, which erased the legal barrier preventing the same firm from engaging in investment banking as well as commercial banking, left those who had taken advantage of it (Bank of America) still standing while several who didn't do so (Lehman Brothers) failed.
Deregulation actually contributed to financial stability. The crisis was precipitated by years, even decades, of government inducements to grant mortgages to people who would not have qualified under older rules, creating a housing bubble that had to burst sooner or later.
The trigger was the failure of the two government-sponsored secondary mortgage market giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, something that free-market economists had been predicting for years.
Still, even in the face of all the evidence that the financial crisis was induced by too much government intervention into the marketplace rather than too little, the crisis almost certainly tipped the presidential election in favor of the candidate who could most credibly promise stricter future regulation and more expansive government intervention — more hair of the dog that bit the markets.
Almost all the talking heads and most newspapers attributed the meltdown to a supposed "orgy" of deregulation under President George W. Bush when, in fact, while the Bushies occasionally talked the deregulation talk they never walked the walk.
The facts, then, are on the side of advocates of free minds and free markets, but public opinion, at least at this point, seems firmly lodged on the side of desiring further government intervention and manipulation of the marketplace. It gives one pause.
Has the mission of R.C. Hoiles, founder of Freedom Communications Inc., and whose Nov. 24 birthday our newspapers celebrate Monday as Founder's Day, to offer facts and arguments on behalf of free markets and personal liberty, been for naught? As the company itself battles in a tough market for all newspapers, has the company's ideological mission failed?
There are reasons to be concerned, but on balance, I feel reasonably sure that the cause of liberty to which R.C. devoted his life and his considerable business skills, while it might have some tough sledding ahead, will not fall into the dustbin of history.
In the late 1930s and 1940s, when R.C. Hoiles was reading everything he could get his hands on and working out a political philosophy, which evolved from a fairly standard-issue devotion to the U.S. Constitution to a full-fledged fealty to what he called "voluntarism" (which most people today would call libertarianism, though he was never quite comfortable with that label) he was going much more against the tide than we are today.
President Roosevelt had installed the New Deal, to the applause of almost all the cultured classes, and John Maynard Keynes had provided the theoretical economic underpinning, which quickly came to dominate academe, for widespread government intervention into the economy.
A Ludwig von Mises, a giant in economic theory in Europe, couldn't get a job at any American university when he escaped Austria just before the Nazi takeover. Most of the chattering classes took it as a given that some form of socialism was the wave of the future, that backward-looking capitalism was already dead. Holding out against this tide earned R.C. the moniker from Time magazine of "the weird Uncle Harold of the newspaper business."
But R.C. had read his Adam Smith, Bastiat, Mises, Hayek and others, and he was convinced that socialism (let alone communism) was inherently unstable as well as cruel. He helped to promote the few liberty-minded writers, like Ayn Rand, Isabel Paterson and Rose Wilder Lane, who arose during the 1940s, and reprinted the work of more established commentators like Albert Jay Nock. He provided Leonard Read with some of the seed money to establish the Foundation for Economic Education. He distributed pamphlets to everybody he met. He never gave up hope. And eventually a freedom movement grew and increased in influence.
Reason magazine, at its 40th anniversary banquet Nov. 14, recognized the past and present importance of R.C. Hoiles and his family by giving its Flame of Freedom Award to longtime

Hi! I'm Shane mom to three very active boys. Theodore is 6. He nursed until he was 4ys. Issac is 4. He nursed until he was 2ys. And Harrison is 2 and still nurses. I nursed through my second pg and then tandum nursed for 2 yrs. The two older weaned when I was pg with #3. I was preparing to be tri nursing. Is there such a word? I found it very interesting that my second decided to stop the same time at my first. Must have wanted to do everything his older brother was doing.
I'm a stay at home mom. My husband is a outdoor education teacher in the public schools. We are homeschooling our boys. I'm a birth doula in a hospital based program. I'm working on slowly, slowly getting my childbirth education certification. And I aspire to be a midwife in the far, far, far future.
Breastfeeding has been a very important part of my parenting and there were no questions that I would do it. I had many problems with #1. He had sever tongue tie and needed surgery to be able to nurse. He had that at 1.5 months of age. #2 was a breeze. #3 had a high pallet and I got the worst nipple damage, clogged ducts and mastitis all in the the first week after giving birth.
Having support is what got me through each of my challenges. Having a Laction Consultant come to your home was key for me.
That would be some of me.
Take care,

Knicks need more fight on the glass and more scoring true K-mart was huge impact and playoffs exp
Brand better scorer ad rebounder
no choice from mine side this team need both but cant have.
I have a question. We have signed Prigioni for about $2M a year. This is at least somewhat over the veteran's minimum -- assuming Prigioni, as a second year player, is eligible for a "veteran's" minimum. I am not sure just how much of our mini-midlevel exception we have used up. My question is whether the mini-mid level stands alone and cannot be added to a veteran's minimum or other minimum for a single player. In other words, do we have to use minimums and mini-mid levels separately or can they be combined.? If a team cannot increase an allowed "minimum" by dipping into whatever may be left of a mini or other mid level, then, given we paid a portion of the mini-mid level for Prigioni, we probably cannot pay either Brand or Kmart an amount that is appreciably different from a veteran's minimum. I am not sure we can get either one for the amount we likely have available.
Knicks need more fight on the glass and more scoring true K-mart was huge impact and playoffs exp
Brand better scorer ad rebounder
no choice from mine side this team need both but cant have.
The Prigoni signing only used 1.5M of the MLE because part of his contract is performance based, performance based incentives are counted against the cap only if the NBA rules that they are likely to occur and we still have 1.7 of our MLE left to spend on other FA's.
You're right what we have left of the MLE is not much different than what KMart or EB can get as vet min players. The 2103-2014 min salary for vets with 10 years experience is 1.4M, 300K is probably a joke for vets like EB and KMart that are coming off of 10M plus yearly contracts.
Either will work far as i'm concerned...
Brand is a solid big defender with a nice jumper and rebounding ability, More of a glue guy with a higher IQ. Kind of a younger Kurt Thomas but more aggressive and slightly more athletic. Also agree either comes off the bench in favor of the Barngburner.
Something tells me though, as other teams complete their rosters after the Dwight fall-out some team will see brand as a good piece and offer him more money and or years than we can.
I'm starting to worry that we're going to strike out on both these guys. On top of that, Francisco Garcia just signed with the Rockets. That leaves Carlos Delfino and Dahntay Jones left as possible 3's that had our interest at some point. If we walk away getting none of these guys, a frontcourt rotation of Chandler, Melo, Stat, Bargnani, and Shump is fine, but completely lacks any flexible without a proven enforcer, a 2nd big who can rebound/play D, a wing who can consistently shoot the 3, or another forward who can play anything resembling solid perimeter defense.
Are we going to hope Hardaway J.R. and CJ Leslie are both league ready when the season starts?
But I'm going to have to instruct you to kindly hop off my penis, your full cooperation with this instruction is completely necessary and greatly appreciated
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Brand signed with the Hawks. People have been expecting him to sign with a contender but Brand is not about winning, he's about the paycheck. I am sure ATL offered him the most money.
Let's see if we can land KMart, he's a piece we need when we have 2 soft PF's like Stat and Bargnani.
For some reason I see K-Mart signing in January for $2M with the Brooklyn Nets .. i have a feelin
The difference between Elton Brand and Kenyon Martin is that one cares about money while the other cares about winning.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
