Yes the CIO is worse than bf but I was thinking if she actually nursed him she would bond and not let him cry. Oh well time to let it go and just pray for that little guy

Also, the cluster feeding at 2 weeks--isn't it a growth spurt? Not feeding baby during a growth spurt sounds cruel and dangerous. Just reading all this made me so sad for the little one. It's heart-wrenching.
I see your point about the bonding that might come if this person were to nurse her baby. Maybe encouraging her to find other ways to bond physically and emotionally, and then get around to the breast? This couple seems very cold and messed-up. I guess sometimes you just have to resign yourself... you can't change people, and there are so many screwed-up people in the world. It's just that... a baby is such a blessing. And babies don't ask to be born... Anyway, I could go on and on. I hope they soften up.
march 2011... the light of my life
i love my little one
Nothing you can do about this, and I would probably drop the BFing convo. There are some people bound and determined to EP no matter what. At least he is getting mama milk in some way. She will eventually figure out EPing is hard work; unfortunately she sounds like one who will probably quit early when it gets tough (6 weeks, 3 months, 9 months) out of frustration or lack of supply....2 weeks is way too early to start dropping sessions. More like 12 weeks!
I'd address the CIO myself, as there s evidence it causes brain damage.
And give mom some info on PPD. Moms with that can have trouble bonding.
Then I'd cut ties with these people.
Mama to my all-natural boys: Ian, 9-4-04, 11.5 lbs; Colton, 11-7-06, 9 lbs, in the water; Logan, 12-8-08, 9 lbs; Gavin, 1-18-11, 9 lbs; and an angel 1-15-06
18+ months and for Gavin, born with an incomplete cleft lip and incomplete posterior cleft palate
Sealed for time and eternity, 7-7-93
Always babywearing, cosleeping and cloth diapering. Living with oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. Ask me about cloth diapering and sewing your own diapers!

How to Make Easy Mashed Potatoes
Learn how to make the world's easiest creamy mashed potatoes by watching this Step by Step cooking video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine.
-Hi, I'm Teri Tsang, the food editor here at Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine. And I'm about to show you the easiest recipe in the world for mashed potatoes. Here at Every Day with Rachael Ray, we like using Yukon Golds. I think they yield the creamiest, easiest potato. And the best part is you can mash them in their skin, which as we all know saves a lot of time. No need to peel and chop. And so first, I'm gonna take this Yukon Gold here and quarter it. I wanna cut them into about 2-inch pieces, 1-inch pieces roughly about this size and add them to your pot and just keep chopping them up. The best thing about mashed potatoes is that it's really hard to screw them up, but it doesn't hurt to cut them into uniform pieces. If you were to leave them whole, you'd need to bring them to a boil to get them to soften for probably about 20 to 25 minutes. Because we're cutting them to 2-inch pieces, about 15 minutes should do. Any smaller and you can go down to 10, 12 minutes, but at that point, you'd start running the risk of them getting a little bit too soft and probably a little bit watery, which will prevent them from getting creamy when you start to mash them. Now that you've cut up the potatoes, you wanna add enough water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. You can season the potatoes with a lot of salt. Cover the pot and cook it over high heat until it boils for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, while the potatoes are cooking, let's bring 1 cup of milk, not to a boil, but just to heat through. You might not use all the milk, but it's good to have a lot on hand in case you like your potatoes extra creamy. So, after you've cooked the potatoes for about 15 minutes until they're fork tender, you're gonna drain the potatoes, which I just did and put them back in the pot. And we're gonna take the hot milk, which has been heated through and start mashing the potatoes. And I just added a cup of milk 'coz I actually like my potatoes really creamy and really smooth. Now, you can add a few pats of butter. I say be generous 'coz they only add to the flavor. So, we're gonna add about 3 tablespoons of butter and just mash them in. If you're feeling kind of lazy and just don't feel like heating up the milk, go ahead and add the butter right after you've drained the potatoes and those should melt instantly and add to the creaminess in the mash potatoes and then slowly incorporate the milk by mashing those in. They'll be fine. The thing is when you've added heated milk to the mashed potatoes, it maintains the heat. You don't end up with a gummy potato and it just adds to the overall creaminess. Here, we're gonna season with a little bit of salt. Mash that in. On a final note, I like using the potato masher, but if you have a standing electric mixture, those work great for mashed potatoes, which aerate and make them nice and fluffy, but never ever use a food processor, which can make your mashed potatoes really gummy and just not that good. And there you have it, super easy mashed potatoes. Awesome.

In the last decade, the United States has found itself fully immersed in nation building, despite its alleged distaste for such endeavors. U.S. military forces in particular have been at the center of these efforts, building schools in Iraq, staffing Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) throughout Afghanistan and training soldiers in Mozambique. U.S. Army platoon leaders hand out micro grants to small business owners and help stand up city councils. Civil servants who once trained for peacetime development work now find themselves mediating tribal disputes in remote mountain provinces. Regardless of the efficacy of such efforts, public statements by both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggest that nation building and related activities are preferred solutions in the war against terrorism. Yet despite the enormous complexity and ambition of such efforts, there remains a gap in the training and education for nation building.

So, you've sorted your views on working with private corporations for helping in the funding operations of your park and you're ready to shop for partners. Even if the benefits of the new revenue didn't outweigh perceptions of loss of control and the "privatization of parks," the reality of the worst economic conditions since World War II all but makes it mandatory. But how to pursue?
In a profile in the March 2011 issue of Parks & Recreation, Dan Biederman lays to rest the myths he sees thwarting the private partnership approach. After all, Biederman explains, "Why not let the private sector pay?"
"Corporations want to introduce products," says Biederman, who led the restoration of Bryant Park in New York City and is currently working with the City of Boston to refurbish Boston Common. He's become a master at monitoring the pulse of corporate giving for public spaces. "If you are lucky enough to have an attractive space for them to do that, then you can get their sponsorship dollars."
There hasn't been a better time in the past five years for park agencies to pursue corporate sponsorships, he says. "It took a couple of years after the recession hit for things to pick up again," he says, but the funds are now flowing toward "place-based marketing opportunities." In other words, Biederman explains, companies are looking to channel marketing dollars toward "identifying a product with a much loved space."
In addition to a number of suggestions in the March issue of Parks & Recreation, Biederman has concrete advice for administrators and advocates alike for pursuing private dollars.

Police identify Wallingford man who died
WALLINGFORD Vermont State Police have released the name of a Wallingford man who died Monday in an incident about which investigators remain tight-lipped.
Police said Tuesday afternoon that Terence Holden, 50, was pronounced dead Monday at his Sugar Hill Road home while his wife, Melissa Holden, 53, was still being treated for injuries at Rutland Regional Medical Center.
The names were put out in a state police news release.
Police have said little about the death other than that there were no signs of foul play, that it appeared to be an isolated incident and that there was no cause for heightened concern about public safety.
Police also would not comment on the nature of Melissa Holdens injuries.
Terence Holdens body was taken Monday to the state chief medical examiners office in Burlington. Police said the investigation remains open pending the results of the autopsy report, including toxicology, which could take several weeks.
Police arrived at the Holdens home shortly after 1 p.m. Monday, responding to a 911 call reporting two people in need of medical assistance. Terence Holden was pronounced dead at the scene while Melissa Holden was promptly taken to the hospital.
A spokeswoman for Rutland Regional Medical Center said late Tuesday afternoon that Melissa Holden was still at the hospital but that no information was available on her condition.

"The Kitchen Table" One-Person Show, to be Performed at BSC, November 10-12
CreatedThursday, October 20 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—"The Kitchen Table," a one-person show written, directed and performed by Dr. Sharon Bebout-Carr, will be presented at Bluefield State College, November 10 (10:30 a.m. matinee), November 11 (7:30 p.m.) and November 12 (7:30 p.m.) in the Basic Science Auditorium.
Dr. Carr, Assistant Professor of Speech at BSC, notes that the play focuses upon a middle-aged woman's journey through past memories. "She is seeking to find meaning and to reaffirm her identity in the aftermath of her father's illness and death." Along the way, the audience meets the woman's father, mother, and brother, as well as a woman coal miner, the wife of a miner whose husband was grievously injured in a mining accident, and others whose voices contribute to her understanding (and ours) about what it means to confront issues of life, death, community, and identity.
Shortly after Dr. Carr had performed "The Kitchen Table," at Kutztown (PA) University, Kutztown faculty member Karen Blomain wrote, "I have seldom seen a performance that blends personal narrative, historical fact, and characterizations as this play does. Dr. Carr's engagement with the horror and beauty of such a life is accurate even to the evocation of the life underground."
"'The Kitchen Table' deals with the fabric of community, the safety net of family, and the touchstone of place," Carr explained. "We really lived in that coal mining community, dealing with loss and heartache, as we survived and transcended."
Following each performance, the audience is invited to take part in a "talkback" session, sharing experiences and insights. There is no admission charge to "The Kitchen Table," and the public is encouraged to attend.

Deborah Smith, staff writer for Monitor on Psychology (a publication for the American Psychological Association), in her post Angry thoughts, at-risk hearts, writes "Research findings indicate a clear pattern -- being an angry or hostile person is bad for your heart." She goes on to cite several studies that prove the point.
It's my experience as a Christian healer that hateful thoughts can be harmful not only to the heart but to every part of the body. Therefore, if hate is a poison, what is the antidote?

Hugo Boss Dark Blue has been my favorite for years. It was very disappointing that I can't buy it from a retail store anymore since a few years back. However, this site has save me by carrying it as one of their products. I just love it and am complimented on it consistently. I don't smell like everyone else when I wear it and that's a nice point of differentiation and distinction. It's a classic that keeps up with the trends for sure!

Merry CHRISTmas!!
It's a gorgeous sunny day here in San Diego, but it's Christmas nonetheless.
I just wanted to wish all my amazing readers and members of the MLBlogs community a wonderful Christmas. I know I've been lagging on my blogging lately, but things should pick up a bit more in the new year to come.
Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement and enthusiasm for the game of baseball. I am so blessed to be able to share my thoughts about my beloved Padres with all of you.
What I want for Christmas is a World Series for my Padres. And a Super Bowl for the Chargers, which I think is really going to happen. The winds are a changing here in the Padres organization, and I think this is going to be our year. I can't wait to get that championship for San Diego.
Again, I hope you all have a wonderful CHRISTmas, spending time with your family and friends, laughing a lot, and thinking about the true meaning of Christmas: the incredible gift that God gave us in His son, Jesus Christ!
3 Comments
Hey! Hope you had a wonderful christmas and holiday!
I look forward to reading your blogs come next season! And hopefully to know each other better for I am a newbie in this blog-o-sphere😀

Christ in Christmas is indeed the reason we celebrate this season at all. You are so right, Kaybee. I hope and pray your Christmas was indeed a blessed and merry one, and that 2010 will be a blessed year for you. God Bless!🙂

This is the kind of excitement we should be seeing in the garden all the time. No worries, we will be getting some good talent, and I'm not talking about any of those bums from the bulls either.
do all the young generations college players bite Iversons style? I don't mean Iverson's game but the arm wrap. I try not to follow college ball except highlights until March Madness, mainly because i feel it is an inferior product compared to the NBA (yes i know it is more team oriented, but skill level is much lower).
LMAO was Jamal Crawford trying to start a trend with the shoulder bandage he used to rock. Until he realized he wasn't a good enough player for people to be copying him.
Sorry i can't get mad at a player we have no shot at getting until he is 35 and broken down. I'm more mad about Jennings and Lopez
Last edited by clumsy; Dec 11, 2009 at 07:52.
Can't forget Ron Artest either....
@ clumsy, allen iverson was probably the most influential nba player in terms of style since jordan.
You cannot possibly believe that college hoops are inferior to the nba. If you do I have to believe that it is because you dont watch college ball. It kills me to say it but I would bet my house and all my vehicles that the Kansas J hawks would put a ass whipping on the Knicks the Nets the Bulls and a few other so called "PRO" teams. I'll go as far to say at this point that tha ncaa top 10 will probally give alot of nba teams at least a run for their money. Truthfully this kills me to say but the nba is not what it used to be.
@OP, you got a mad John Wall fetish....
No need to offend you, but it seems like every post you make is about him.
@SD21, Your right but the Wall is a badass. This is a player that we could build a team around. He aint no Jordan or Kobe yet, but I'd love to see him take any spot on the Knicks.
whateverrrrr, this is like rubio last year, all this hoopla around a guy we have noe 100 percent certainty in terms of NBA ability. Why are we even posting threads like this; we have much bigger fish to fry than John wall, he will end up in minnesota fighting with flyn and rubio for PT next year haha.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid

Farmers shop for the upcoming Spring Festival in a market in Sichuan province, Jan. 28, 2010. China is trying to step up efforts to stimulate rural consumption as a way to drive domestic demand.

"China's Century is Not Yet upon Us"
Op-Ed, Financial Times
May 19, 2010
Author: Joseph S. Nye, Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
China's current reputation for power benefits from projections about the future. Some young Chinese use these projections to demand a greater share of power now, and some Americans urge preparation for a coming conflict similar to that between Germany and Britain a century ago.
One should be sceptical about such projections. By 1900, Germany had surpassed Britain in industrial power, and the Kaiser was pursuing an adventurous foreign policy that was bound to bring about a clash with the other great powers. By contrast, China still lags far behind the US economically and militarily, and has focused its policies primarily on its region and on its economic development. While its "market Leninist" economic model (the so-called "Beijing Consensus") provides soft power in authoritarian countries, it has the opposite effect in many democracies.
Even if Chinese gross domestic product passes that of the US in about 2030 (as Goldman Sachs projects), the two economies would be equivalent in size, but not equal in composition. China would still have a vast underdeveloped countryside and it will begin to face demographic problems from the delayed effects of its one-child policy. Moreover, as countries develop, there is a tendency for growth rates to slow. Assuming Chinese growth of 6 per cent and American growth of only 2 per cent after 2030, China would not equal the US in per capita income until sometime in the second half of the century.
Per capita income provides a measure of the sophistication of an economy. While China's impressive growth rate combined with the size of its population will surely lead it to pass the US economy in total size, that is not the same as equality. And since the US is unlikely to be standing still during that period, China is a long way from posing the kind of challenge to America that the Kaiser's Germany posed when it passed Britain at the start of the last century. Nonetheless, the rise of China recalls Thucydides' warning that belief in the inevitability of conflict can become one of its main causes.
During the past decade, China moved from being the ninth-largest exporter to the largest in the world, but China's export-led development model will probably need to be adjusted as global trade and financial balances become more contentious in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Although China holds huge foreign currency reserves, it will have difficulty raising its financial leverage by lending overseas in its own currency until it has deep and open financial markets in which interest rates are set by the market, not the government.
Unlike India, which was born with a democratic constitution, China has not yet found a way to solve the problem of demands for political participation (if not democracy) that tend to accompany rising per capita income. The ideology of communism is long gone, and the legitimacy of the ruling party depends upon economic growth and ethnic Han nationalism. Some experts argue that the Chinese political system lacks legitimacy, suffers from a high level of corruption and is vulnerable to political unrest should the economy falter. Whether China can develop a formula that can manage an expanding urban middle class, regional inequality and resentment among ethnic minorities remains to be seen. The basic point is that no one, including Chinese leaders, knows how the country's political future will evolve and how that will affect its economic growth.
In 1974, Deng Xiaoping told the United Nations General Assembly: "China is not a superpower, nor will it ever seek to be one." The current generation of Chinese leaders, realising that rapid growth is the key to domestic political stability, has focused on economic development and what they call a "harmonious" international environment that will not disrupt their growth. But generations change, power often creates hubris and appetites sometimes grow with eating. Some analysts warn that rising powers invariably use their newfound economic strength for wider political, cultural and military ends.
Even if this were an accurate assessment of Chinese intentions, it is doubtful that China will have the military capability to make this scenario possible. Asia has its own internal balance of powers and, in that context, many states welcome a US presence in the region. Chinese leaders will have to contend with the reactions of other countries as well as the constraints created by their own goal of growth and the need for external markets and resources. Too aggressive a military posture could produce a countervailing coalition among its neighbours that would weaken both its hard and soft power. A recent Pew poll of 16 countries found a positive attitude towards China's economic rise, but not its military rise.
The fact that China is not likely to become a peer competitor to the US on a global basis does not mean that it could not challenge the US in Asia, and the dangers of conflict can never be ruled out. But Bill Clinton was basically right when he told Jiang Zemin in 1995 that the US has more to fear from a weak China than a strong China. Given the global challenges that China and the US face, they have much to gain from working together. But hubris and nationalism among some Chinese, and unnecessary fear of decline among some Americans make it difficult to assure this future.

Take Felton out and it sounds good to me. But no way should we trade PGs. We only have one pure PG and honestly we need another.
we keep Fields.Carmelo Anthony could have been a Knick*Monday if only team president Walsh were willing to meet Denver's trade demands, which one team officia classified as "steep." According to a team source close to the negotiations,"there is a deal to be made" but whether Anthony joins but whether Anthony joins forces with Amar'e Stoudemire in New York between Tuesday and the Feb. 24 trade deadline likely comes down to the Nuggets either lowering their asking price or the Knicks.....
They want Felt, Gallo, Curry, and a 1st.
Giving back Billups & Melo
Take Felton out and it sounds good to me. But no way should we trade PGs. We only have one pure PG and honestly we need another.
Yea, if Denver doesn't budge on this deal by the 23rd 11:58pm then this deal gets done. If we have to buy out Billups this season, then the amount of $ that he agrees to walk for will be on the books next season. We'd still be set up to make a run at CP3 or D-Will next summer, it'd just be a matter of getting a serviceable PG who can run the team (or possibly even be the PG of the future) next season.
At first glance the deal looks like one you'd want to stay away from, but if it's all about building a dynasty going forward, it doesn't disrupt those plans in the slightest. The only hindrance would be on next season, but we were supposed to let Felton go after next season to get CP3 or D-Will (not saying Felton wasn't doing an adequate job....but he only has a 2 year deal.)
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Umm... add chandler t that mix. Deal doesn't work without another starter and $
I think they want also a 3rd starter, see my 3d "Is Melo God ?"
The Nuggets, according to a source, are asking for three starters - including Danilo Gallinari and Raymond Felton - plus Eddy Curry's expiring contract and at least one first-round pick
That's gotta be why Donnie turned it down. That makes it a little tougher, Gallo and Chandler...but we still might have to do it anyway. Because both Gallo and Chandler are probably going to have to leave if we have Melo and go after CP3 or D-Will...it would just be tough to lose both in one felt swoop.
But that probably wouldn't disrupt MDA's insanely short rotation. Mean Muggin' T-Dougin', Williams, Moz, and Turiaf just end up getting more tick.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
I see this deal being whittled down to us taking either taking on Anderson or Harrington and giving azzy. They would save more with us taking on one of those contracts longterm and it isn't as demanding on us for trade pieces.
To me that's not a bad deal, Donnie must be horse trading or he really feels that NY is the only place Melo wants to be and he refuses to give up anything significant for him.
A least Billups I servicable and can be bought out, Harrington is a no no. To much $, and might kill the offense, slow development, and plays no defense.
Anderson maybe.
And yeah Walsh almost has to wait til the 11th hour IF Denver is dealing. If they are that means they concede moving Melo for somthing, Walsh is obligated to get the best deal at that point, and that can't happen until 11:59:59 at the deadline.
Again, we have to wait......more.....f*cking hate this.....every f*cking year, twice we wait, and wait, and wait to inch up.
if we can pull out Anderson that would be saweeeeeeett
Deal is Gallo, Felton AND ANOTHER STARTER plus Curry and a pick.
Knicks get Billups and Carmelo.
To get the pick, we trade Anthony Randolph.
Have to assume that other starter is either Fields or MOzgov, although it might be Chandler.
I would still make the trade.
Knicks could cut Billups and have about 10 million to play with. Use that money to make an offer to MArc Gasol or DeAndre Jordan, or sign a Big Baby plus a backup PG. Or resign Chandler. Options.

Pension longevity swaps hit £25 billion
A £2.5 billion swap deal between Deutsche Bank and the drugs group AstraZeneca, to cover its pension funds against rising life expectancy, means banks and insurers have signed over £25 billion of these deals since the first transaction in 2009.
Deutsche Bank has closed two large longevity swap transactions in the past week. On Wednesday, the construction group Carillion announced a deal covering £1 billion of pension liabilities, across five different UK schemes, with the investment bank.
Yesterday, AstraZeneca said it had signed a £2.5 billion deal with Deutsche Bank, which will cover its main UK pension scheme against the risk that about 10,000 of its current pensioners will live longer than expected. A company spokeswoman said the deal would "mitigate longevity risk and enhance the financial security of the pension fund."
The transaction covers roughly 40% of the fund's total liability, according to Matt Wilmington, a partner at pensions consultancy Aon Hewitt, the lead adviser on the transaction. AstraZeneca's 2012 annual report, published in March, gives its UK pensions liability as £7.7 billion.
Wilmington said AstraZeneca's pension-scheme trustees had been monitoring the longevity-swap market "for a while". He said: "We went through the cost and risk analysis for them, and they felt it was the right time based on that".
He said that increased appetite for longevity risk from the reinsurance market was helping to drive down the cost of this type of insurance for pension schemes.
Insurers and banks - such as Deutsche Bank - usually act as "middle men" in the market by passing on the longevity risk they acquire to reinsurers, such as Hanover Re or Swiss Re, who are interested in longevity risk because of their other main business, reinsuring life insurance contracts.
These pay out when people die sooner than expected, whereas pension schemes have to pay out more if people live longer than expected. The two types of reinsurance offset one another.
In arranging the AstraZeneca deal, Aon Hewitt and Deutsche Bank identified two new reinsurers interested in acquiring the risk, they said.
Wilmington said: "There are now probably about 15 to 20 reinsurers who want to take this risk, though only about eight to ten of these aggressively bid on any given book of pension scheme longevity."
The AstraZeneca and Carillion deals have doubled the volumes transacted in this market during 2013. Because only large and sophisticated pension funds can usually transact them, longevity swaps usually have big ticket sizes, with large volumes spread over a small number of deals.
In March, Deutsche arranged a £400 million pensions swap for Bentley Motors, a UK subsidiary of German carmaker Volkswagen. The month before, Legal & General signed a £3.2 billion deal with defence manufacturer BAE Systems.
A total £25 billion of the swaps have been signed since the first transaction between engineering group Babcock International and investment bank Credit Suisse in May 2009, according to Aon Hewitt.

Judge dismisses drug charges against two Jersey Boys'By Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | July 13,2013SPRINGFIELD A Windsor County criminal court judge has dismissed a slew of drug charges against two of the so-called Jersey Boys because the Springfield police improperly arrested the pair after a traffic stop this March.
The decision by Judge Harold Eaton on Thursday to suppress the evidence confiscated in the March 28 stop resulted in the charges being dismissed against Richard Torruellas, 19, and Joseph Atkinson, 18, both of Jersey City, N.J.
The two men were arrested after Springfield Police Sgt. William Daniels improperly pulled over a car near Riverside Middle School containing both Torruellas and Atkinson.
The decision said Daniels wanted to speak to Torruellas because the sergeant suspected he had given him a false name about two weeks earlier.
Police later searched the car driven by a Newport, N.H., woman, and found heroin and cocaine in the car. The woman told police the drugs did not belong to her.
The attorneys for Torruellas and Atkinson, Cabot Teachout and Dan Stevens, had both moved to suppress the evidence seized in the March 28 stop, and Eaton sided with them, saying the police had inadequate reason to stop the car two weeks later for a misdemeanor.
The court concludes that Sgt. Daniels could not legally make an arrest at the time he chose to conduct the March 28th stop, Eaton wrote. Without a reason to make an arrest, he had no legal reason at all to conduct the stop or order Mr. Torruellas out of the vehicle.
Constitutional protections are the foundation upon which our system of criminal justice is based and which apply equally to all. It is imperative that those protections be jealously guarded and scrupulously applied, without regard to the outcome in a particular case, the judge wrote.
The judge said that Daniels was relying on information from Detective Patrick Call about Torruellas real identity.
Sgt. Daniels, therefore, did not know the basis for Detective Calls information and thus could not rely on his hearsay for probable cause to make an arrest for a completed misdemeanor.
The court also chided Daniels for not giving the two men their Miranda rights before he began questioning them.
The court holds that the vehicle stop was inappropriate and Judge Eaton does not believe it was a sufficiently serious misdemeanor to warrant stopping a car, said Windsor County States Attorney Michael Kainen.
Kainen said he would consult with his deputy, David Cahill, who handles most of the drug cases in Windsor County, about filing an appeal of Eatons decision.
We are obviously disappointed in the ruling. We believe these guys are dealing and generally have others dealing for them, said Kainen. So we got lucky that they happened to be transporting product at the time of this stop.
We all hold our constitutional rights dearly, said Kainen. But there is some perversion of the original concept of rights and ordered liberties when the Constitution is used to spring criminals so that they can continue to threaten, intimidate and peddle poison in the community, he said.
Both Teachout and Stevens declined to discuss the decision, noting the decision could be appealed.
Kainen has five business days to file a notice of appeal.
Eaton ruled that because giving false information to a police officer is only a misdemeanor, Daniels did not have the right to stop the car simply because he recognized Torruellas.
According to police, Torruellas had originally given a false name and a false address to Daniels on March 15. Torruellas gave the name of Juan Rodriguez and said he was from Springfield, but gave an address on Wall Street that did not exist.
When he was stopped on March 28, he gave yet another name and an address in Burlington, which also did not exist when police checked.
In the second car stop, Atkinson was visibly shaking, according to the police, and called himself Joseph Smith, but couldnt remember the city where he was born or produce any identification.
Police found keys to a safe, which was in the car, in Atkinsons pockets, and inside the safe police found $3,600 in cash, two grams of marijuana, two ounces of crack cocaine, five baggies of heroin and 150 rounds of mixed ammunition, as well as a digital scale.
Police found a loaded Ruger pistol in the glove compartment, along with three packages of crack cocaine and a package of heroin, which contained 40 small packages of the drug.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's world renowned rock opera adaptation of Gaston Leroux's novel won the 1988 Tony Award for Best Musical and has gone on to become the longest-running show in Broadway history, playing over 10,000 performances and running for over a quarter of a decade!
This updated musical masterpiece combines both quality musicality with a darkly romantic story that leaves you on the very edge of your seat. Combine the world-class casting with breathtaking theatrical effects, and you have a musical phenomenon that has enthralled audiences across generations all around the world.
Phantom of the Opera is based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 gothic novel - Le Fantome de l'Opera - about life beneath the foundations of the Paris Opera House where our eponymous anti-hero reigns, using terror to keep the cast and owners in check. Hideously deformed and mentally unstable, he is however gifted with an incredible voice and true musical genius; he only truly puts these talents to good use when he spies and falls in love with Christine Daae, an orphaned chorus girl who he teaches to sing the 'Music of the Night'.
Upon hearing that Christine is engaged to a nobleman, the Phantom suffers a mental break and all hell breaks lose - above and below stage. Determined to make Christine love him, he kidnaps her and takes her to live with him in his cellar underneath the Opera House. Will Christine succumb and start to love the Phantom, or will she convince him to let her live her life free?
Phantom is THE longest-running Broadway musical, having clocked up over 27 years and in 2013 celebrated its 25th anniversary with its 10,400th performance. Bets are currently being taken at New York City Theater Towers, on how many performances will be played by 2018, which the show's 30th anniversary!

Doc Dominates The Mets
The Phillies offense cooled off today after a 10-run barrage on Friday night. But no worries, Roy "Doc" Halladay was on the mound and ready to operate.
Halladay pitched a complete game for the 60th time in his career. In the 2-1 win over the Mets, Halladay allowed seven hits, one walk and one earned run. The win is the fourth for Halladay this season and also marked a new franchise record for the most wins in April. The Phils went 18-8 this month.
Yesterday, Placido Polanco set a new Phillies record for the most hits in April with 39. Today, he extended that number to 41 and also had a sac fly in the seventh, giving the Phillies the 2-1 lead in the game.
The first run was scored on a John Mayberry Jr. homer to left in the same inning. Those were the only two runs scored, but it was all the Phillies needed. Mayberry was in the game in place of the struggling Raul Ibanez and had two hits total in the game.
Tomorrow, the Phillies hope to start May off with a 3-game sweep of the Mets. Cliff Lee will face Chris Young, who is working his way back from both and injury and a bout of the flu. In his first start back, Young allowed three runs in less than five innings.
Lee is coming off a sub-par start in Arizona where he allowed four runs. Lee generally does not falter two game in a row.
If you have a ticket to the game, remember it has been changed to an 8pm start (thanks, ESPN….you suck). I will be there and hope to post photos sometime Monday afternoon.

Yay, sudden ESPN time changes. Gotta love commercialism. I guess ESPN doesn't like to remember that people in the world do have to go to work or school on Monday.
Jenn, do you remember what it's like to have nightmares about your team? I'm guessing it's a distant memory. Man those guys are good. Good grief.
Catherine – SO tired! Going to work now just to spite ESPN! lol
Jeff – cannot say I miss those days ;o)

Hey guys.
I was just at a big game and half way through, the screw for my regulator stopped working. My gun shot consistent at 295-300 and no matter where I turned the screw or how much I turned it by, it would not go down. What can I do to fix it?

It's possible that you just didn't turn it down enough. I've found that the adjustment level can be weird, in that I've turned adjustment screws on Tippmanns like 9 or 10 times with only a 5 or 10 fps change, then all of a sudden it hits a threshold where the next half turn would change it by 20 fps.

98s don't have regulators. They have a VA on the power tube though. What you could try doing is installing a RVA. A couple different companies make them, or you could try making one yourself, they aren't too hard. They made a world of difference back when I shot 98s.

I would not suggest getting an upgraded power tube only bad things occur, I am a Tippmann gun Tech, Ive seen countless people bring me there marker with valve issues and its always the fact they bought and installed a new power tube. What I need to know is what type of gas you where using. Was is that you just got a co2 tank filled and it was too cold when you wanted to recheck your velocity? If not I would suggest maintenanceing your powertube simply pull on the pin in the back and the assembly will come out clean it up and replace it if that does not work I would order a new ORIGINAL power tube from Tippmann

- ½ 400g jar luxury mincemeat
- 75g pack dried cranberries
- 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1tsp water, to glaze
- icing sugar, to decorate
Whizz together the flour, icing sugar and butter until they form fine crumbs. With the blades running, add the zest, then the egg and process for a few secs until the mixture forms clumps. If you need to, work in a few trickles of ice cold water, but try and avoid it if you can for the shortest pastry.
Tip onto a very lightly floured surface, knead briefly until smooth, then chill in the fridge for 30 mins or until firm. Can be made up to 3 days ahead or frozen for up to a month.
Lightly dust the work surface with flour, then roll pastry out to approx £1 thickness. Cut out 12 x 8cm rounds with a fluted cutter and press into a 12-hole non-stick bun tin. Re-roll the trimmings to the same thickness and stamp out 12 x 5cm rounds for the tops. If you like, use a star cutter to cut out star shapes in the top of the pies, or simply cut crosses in the middle.
Spoon about 1 dessertspoon mincemeat into each base, sprinkle with cranberries, then press on the tops. Chill for 20 mins while you heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Can be frozen for up to 1 month at this point.
Brush the tops with the egg, then bake for 15-20 mins until golden and crisp. Cool for a few mins, then lever out of the tins with a table knife and cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Warm gently to serve, dusted with sifted icing sugar.

Made these all throughout the year for the past 4 years and they have managed to win over two of my friends who were adamant they hated all mince pies!
I try a lot of Gordon's recipes and loved every one of them!
The pastry, if made as stated, is the best recipe I've ever followed.
I would never eat a shop bought mince pie again!
Thank you!
The pastry on these is trully delicious,so crumbly and melt-in-the-mouth. I have just made these for Christmas in July, an Australian 'celebration'and my guests were suitably impressed. It was part of a mince pies and mulled wine evening where I made a selection of different mince pie recipes ( all of them Good Food!) and I used the good food recipe with Grand Marnier and Brandy wonderful.

Nice work and a bit weaker than the excellent, previous one. Also, you can see a small change on musical direction. It's closer to Agalloch and Alcest now, with more melodic elements.
Highlights (i dont like this term or to choosing tracks but in this album there is some notable work):
01. Like Falling Leaves
04. This Autumn Light
05. Anamnesis (omg what a song...)

Great stuff. I'm just getting into this band, but I've heard Torn Beyond Reason as well. So far it's hard to pick a favourite as I like both a lot. Will work my way through their whole discography.
Oh, and the artwork is awesome. That's something that has to be said.

There's just too much filler for me. I know I like the first track and one of them closer to the end was notably stronger in terms of atmosphere than the rest, but everything outside of that just seemed... wishy-washy? It was forgettable the first time I heard it and didn't have a lasting impression on me over the following two-and-a-half attempts either. I don't hate it or think it's terrible, it just sounds really average.

Hickman, a local rancher, businessman and lifelong Beeville resident, was shot and killed early that day, apparently as he was leaving his ranch on Wofford Lane east of the U.S. Highway 181 Bypass.
Family friends said Hickman was found lying on the ground outside his vehicle bleeding from a single gunshot wound to the head.
Rumors spread immediately, suggesting that Hickman had been killed when a branch struck him. Others suggested that he had possibly taken his own life.
Authorities who had been at the scene and who wished to remain unnamed said there was no gun near the victim, ruling out the possibility of a self-inflicted gunshot. One investigator said the death had to be a homicide.
Hickman had been working at the Sikorsky Aerospace Maintenance operation at the Chase Field Industrial and Airport Complex and was one of the employees who was losing his job there because of the facility's closing. But family friends said he had found another job.
Deputy Investigator Adam Levine of the Bee County Sheriffs Office, who is leading the investigation, said Friday morning there were no new developments in the case.
Levine said deputies are working on a number of leads but no suspects had been identified as yet.
According to deputies who were at the scene, two Texas Rangers and a special ranger for the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association were joined by Deputy Investigator John Davis and Deputy Sgt. Kevin Behr at the scene.
Meanwhile, those who knew Hickman were shocked and wondering who could have shot the man they had known for decades.
"He was a year ahead of me," said John Longoria of Corpus Christi. "I played football with him."
Longoria said he had always known Hickman as a hard worker and he would have never thought he would have an enemy.
"It was just heartbreaking to hear it," Longoria said of the news. He had seen Hickman recently while on a visit here. "I feel for the family," Longoria said.
Beeville businessman Sid Elder also was a year ahead of Hickman in school, and he played football with him for the Trojans.
"He was a tall, lanky guy, and he kind of got picked on because he was so skinny," Elder said.
Hickman took the ribbing well, Elder said. "He worked as hard as anybody."
"He was the nicest guy in the world," Elder added. "I can't imagine him having enemies. I hope they catch the rascals that did it."
Another classmate, Sylvia Garcia-Smith, also was shocked to hear the news.
"He would've given the shirt off his back to help someone," Smith said. "He had such a big heart. He never said a bad thing about anyone."
"I'm almost speechless," said businessman Jim Crumrine. He had known Hickman at least 30 years. "We truly lost one of the pillars of our community."
Crumrine called the victim "one of the nicest, most compassionate men I know. I literally knew I could call him at any time and he would be there to help. I'll miss him as a friend."
"He was one of the good guys," said former classmate Carol Riley Cain. "He was always nice, always polite and always willing to lend a helping hand whenever he thought it was needed," she said. "He even invited my grandchildren to ride horses at his ranch and that included the then 4-year-old."
"They thought the world of him, as did we all," Cain said. "My family will miss him greatly. He leaves a big hole in Bee County."
Thursday morning a steady stream of vehicles could be seen driving toward the house on the Hickman Ranch. In a nearby pasture, a herd of goats was seen grazing.
A sign on the gate said that Hickman was a member of the American Meat Goat Association. The organization's web site listed him as being on their Texas board of directors.
Hickman also ran the family business, Hilltop Mobile Home Ranch located east of the U.S. 181 Bypass.
Funeral arrangements are pending at Galloway & Sons Funeral Home.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Honey person Happy husband My husband loves these long under ware! Last year I wanted to get him some for Christmas, the stores only sold the 'thermal' type that were sort of nylon on the outside. This year for Christmas I gave him two pair of your Military Issue Thermal Bottoms-one in each color. He loves them. The other thermal ones got handed down to a younger person and I was able to throw out the last pair of ragged long johns that he insisted on wearing. Thanks so much! January 11, 2016

He is a diesel mechanic working there in, at times, a very cold shop or helping stranded trucks outside. We, in the midwest, are now experiencing an arctic cold spell. He was so thrilled with the new underwear I gave him for Christmas - the military issue thermal type - that he thanked me over and over again. He always wants 100% cotton. He said that he has never ever had such warm cotton underwear before. Thank you Country Store for a very wonderful product! January 7, 2015

- Abstract
- Background: Non-drug factors such as ambient temperature can heighten the adverse effects of MDMA (3,4-methylendioxymethamphetamine) in animals. We assessed whether dancing and feeling hot on Ecstasy would be associated with more psychobiological problems in recreational users. Methods: In an internet study, 206 unpaid participants (modal age 16-24) reported that they had used recreational Ecstasy/MDMA. They completed a drug use questionnaire, the Prospective Memory Questionnaire (PMQ), questions about dancing and feeling hot when on Ecstasy, and psychobiological problems afterwards. Results: Those who danced 'all the time' when on Ecstasy, reported significantly more PMQ memory problems than the less intensive dancers. Prolonged dancing was also associated with more complaints of depression, memory problems, concentration and organizational difficulties afterwards. Feeling hot when on Ecstasy was associated with poor concentration in the comedown period, and with mood fluctuation and impulsivity off-drug. PMQ long-term problems demonstrated a significant curvilinear relationship with thermal self-ratings; more memory problems were noted by those who felt very hot, and by those who did not feel hot when on Ecstasy. Conclusions: Non-drug factors such as dancing and feeling hot are associated with the incidence of psychobiological problems reported by recreational Ecstasy/MDMA users.
