Dear CB: To be fair to the idiot, that may have been the first of a series of tree tragedies. I've never read what
benefits he expected from the cross, since the nuts were as far as I know without any undesirable features.
How I miss the beautiful elms that lined the street in font of the house where I was born. I'm far from religious,but the way those enormous trees met in graceful curing arches when I was a child reminded me of pictures of
inside of the great cathedrals. The word "awsome" has been maae a stupid cliché, but those trees inspired me with awe.
did you know that a maroon is a red assed moron?
Which reminds me of a story told me by a classmate sixty years ago, about hearing a kid on street car in Springfield, MA, scream to his mother as they were going by the Zoo, that he wanted to go see the monkey with the rainbow ass. Meaning the mandrill, I think it is.

I recently discovered how easy it is to write scripts for Amarok.
I listen to an online radio show daily and, because my operating system is Ubuntu and I want to use Amarok to play the Real Audio streams for the radio show, I have to download a file called stream.cgi daily which contains the stream URLs for the show and then add them manually to Amarok.
I was getting tired of continually having to manually add the stream URLs to Amarok each day when wanting to listen so I wrote a Python script to parse the stream.cgi file and add the stream URLs to Amarok. I then created a launcher for the script so now I can just drag the stream.cgi file onto the launcher and it spawns the script which parses the file and adds the streams to Amarok. Yay.
Script (Python 2.5.2) for Amarok 1.4:
#! /usr/bin/env python # # Description: # Script to parse an input file full of stream URLs, typically named "stream.cgi", and # add all those URLs from the input file to the Amarok playlist # # Author: Patrick O'Leary AKA Mulchman # Date: March 5, 2009 # import os, sys print("#\n# Amarok Stream Import Script\n#\n") # Strip off script name args = sys.argv[1:] # Verify there are some input files if (len(args) < 1): sys.exit("Error: no input files supplied!") # Loop through list of input files and pull out the URLs and send them to Amarok for arg in args: if (os.path.exists(arg)): infile = open(arg, "r") try: for line in infile.readlines(): stripLine = line.strip() if (len(stripLine) > 0): execute = "dcop amarok playlist addMedia \"%s\"" % stripLine #print(execute) os.system(execute) finally: infile.close() else: print("Warning: Skipping invalid input file: \"%s\"" % arg)

A crowd of several thousand filled the Residence Hall/Recreation Center to watch 652 students accept their degrees: 529 students earned bachelor's degrees and 123 received advanced degrees.
"Your graduation marks a very significant milestone in the history of this College," said President Harold Wilde. "One-hundred and fifty years ago, the leaders of the Evangelical Church established a college for both men and women on the Illinois frontier, grounded in their Christian faith ... they believed that a long-term investment in education and moral leadership against ignorance, prejudice, injustice and slavery would lead to a more enlightened society and a better world, and continue paying dividends long after they were gone. You, the Class of 2011, are what they dreamed of a century and a half ago, the promise in which they invested their lives and treasure and, above all, their faith."
In addition to Commencement speaker Christian Wiman, honorary degrees were awarded to Brenda Barnes, former chief executive of the Sara Lee Corporation; Roger Hruby '58, business leader, entrepreneur and former chair of the College's Board of Trustees; and Myron Wentz '63, scientist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and best-selling author.
Also honored was Richard Norenberg '55, College Life Trustee, with the Gael D. Swing Award for Meritorious Service. Marti Bogart, associate professor of economics and associate dean for academic affairs, was named the 20th recipient of the Harold and Eva White First Citizen of the College Award. Molly Link '11, a sociology major from Batavia, IL, was voted recipient of the Mark A. Reid Student Leadership Award by her senior classmates.
Christian Wiman, published poet and editor of Poetry magazine, began his speech with a forceful recitation of "These Poems" by Robert Bringhurst. He held the crowd spellbound with his lyrical and heartfelt remarks.

Vt. home where deck collapsed now damaged by fireBy Eric Francis
Correspondent | July 11,2013SHARON - The same residence where a dozen family members and partygoers were injured on the Fourth of July when a porch deck suddenly collapsed was heavily damaged by a fire Wednesday morning.
"I can't believe it. I feel so sorry for those people," Sharon Fire Captain Nathan Potter said afterwards, noting, "Those poor folks have gone through so much this week."
Potter said when dispatchers alerted Sharon's volunteer firefighters at 9 a.m. he instantly recognized the address opposite the Sharon industrial park on River Road as the same residence where numerous rescue personnel and ambulances had converged last Thursday evening for the mass casualty call.
Wednesday's fire at the Richard and Michelle Wilson residence began in the hose running from the back of the dryer in a second floor laundry room but quickly
"We had a good response and we were able to knock it down to just a hallway and a bedroom," Potter said but he smoke damage throughout the house, which sits near the bank of the White River, was still extensive.
"They had a bedroom door open on one end of it and a window open so the smoke was drawn right down through there just like chimney, Potter said, adding, "I'm guessing they are going to be out of the house for a while because the whole house smells of smoke bad and the upstairs is nothing but black."MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

New road in Rutland Town could alleviate Route 7 trafficBy Courtney Parker
STAFF WRITER | October 21,2013Rutland Town officials are looking into options to locate a new town road near the recently opened Aldi discount supermarket chain store.
The goal of the project — still in its infancy — is to alleviate congestion off Route 7.
"It's still just a concept at this point." said Town Road Commissioner Byron Hathaway. But, he added, he sees the benefits of the new road and believes the additional traffic could work to the advantage of side road businesses.
One of the route options discussed was connecting Farrell Road to the Cold River Road traffic light, with an intersection into Randbury Road.
According to Town Administrator Joe Zingale, there are still many steps that would need to be taken before the road could become a reality, including various traffic studies, grant applications and board approval.
Select Board member Don Chioffi said he is in favor of the new road. Chioffi said it is the responsibility of the town to do their part to take pressure and traffic off Route 7. He said he views the Farrell Road extension as a way to provide additional driving routes, as well as attract patrons to local businesses.
"My view is that it is a positive step for the town and town businesses," he said. "We have a responsibility to provide for those people in our commercial base."
Chioffi added that in previous discussions, fellow board members have supported similar infrastructure improvements, and this project is no different.
Currently no action has been taken by the board, but several discussions on the road have taken place.
"These things don't just happen overnight," Chioffi said. "When it does come to the board, my vote will be for it."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
November Blues
I haven't been feeling well. That's a bit of an understatement. Physically I'm not well but I've also been in a bad depression and really wanting to chuck it all in. Logically I know this is part of the illness plus the situational circumstances of having a severe case of chronic illness.
I may have a lead on a new doctor. Yesterday I called someone who I've never spoken to before but I needed help and was desperate enough to toss away my pride and insecurities and make the phone call. This woman suffers from lyme and cfids but primarily lyme. She's been sick a long time and knows a lot. She said she thought I needed a new doctor and recommended the Holotorf Group. She said they are great for testing but she didn't have a good experience with treatment. She lives in Illoinois. Anyway, then someone else whose opinion I highly regard also recommended the Holtorf Group (Sue Jackson). I emailed them. They charge $395 for the first two visits. Ouch. They provide a superbill to provide to insurance. Their website was impressive. They have a well thought out treatment plan posted on their website. What is also compelling about them is they do a lot of testing which I need.
My CFS doctor has been so wishy washy. I really want to have a sense of direction and a feeling that I'm doing the right thing for my health. It feels like he's just guessing half the time. If he would run more tests on me I think I'd have some more answers.
The rain the past few days has been just depressing. The apartment feels damp and drafty when it rains so I can't get comfortable. I'm tired of living here. I don't think that mold caused my illness by any means but I don't think it's healthy for me to live in a place that has as much mold as it does. I also don't think the dampness is a good sign.
One thing I struggle with is how powerless I feel in the face of this illness. I don't get to choose when I can do something-the illness does. If I feel bad I can't follow through. These days I feel bad 100% of the time so end up feeling like I'm just existing. Surviving from one day to the next. And I feel like a burden so that doesn't help. I don't know how to move past these things. I hope and trust that the acceptance or answers will come in time. I don't like feeling like I'm just surviving my life. That's no way to live. Even worse is the sense of futility and uselessness I feel. It's why I'm so moved at having connection with people. For that moment or those moments I feel uplifted. It's just that the connections are few and far between. I need to get well enough to have more connections even if just through the computer. I keep readjusting my expectations of life. I used to hope I would be completely cured. While I'm open to it and would love it if that happened, it's no longer something I strive for.
I just want to have a sense of meaning again. And a sense of peace. I'd like to feel like I mattered to people-that I'm not a burden or an obligation to endure. I'd like to feel like I make a difference-even a small one. It's hard to do when my illness it's at its peak.

I am so sorry you are struggling so much right now. It is very difficult to cope with everything that comes with chronic illness and what you said about the illness being in control of what you do and when you do ~it is so true! Having contact with other people ~ boy I understand that completely....that is why blogging is so important to me...I feel like I am connecting with other bloggers at their place on the net and at mine. It is like knocking on their door and visiting for awhile.
Finding the right doctor is a hard task. I have heard that the average person with Lyme or CFS (or both) sees somewhere between 13-20 doctors before finding someone to help?!
I went to several doctors ~ some treated me like I was unstable, others wanted to help but did not know how. I saw a naturopath doctor for 7 years who helped me alot b/f she moved out of state. I quit doctoring except for annuals for several years until my health was so bad and I develped neuropathy. Alot of research, and contacting a Late Lyme Doctor in NY who led me to a doctor in the midwest is finally what helped me. My doctor treats CFS and Lyme and follows Dr. Burrascano's protocol..I guess what I am saying is ~ don't give up! Sounds like you may have a lead through other people you have contacted.
I did want to mention mold and how it may affect your illness. I was tested for molds at a well known allergy clinic several years ago, and my reactions to the test were to get all the flu symptoms! Even the low grade fever. The doctor told me this is common with reactions to molds. It certainly might be making your CFS symptoms worse?
You are in my thoughts today...

Hi CFS Warrior-
I posted to you a few weeks ago...I live in Santa Rosa but lived in LA up until this past April. I'm a 2 year patient of Dr. Holtorf and would be happy to answer any questions. He is thorough and has a plan to address each/every symptom, but it is a HUGE financial commitment and the office can be difficult to communicate with. I have had times of feeling good but have been on so many things I need to sort through it all and figure out what might have helped. I am having a major relapse these past few months. I really miss being in close proximity to his office. It's very difficult dealing with the severity of this illness and the financial cost of treatments from afar. Before, if I had a problem, I would just show up at his office...not an option any more. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have further questions.

DD2 is 10wks old, we have had a rollercoaster of issues since she was born, but we have always managed to get through them. We had OALD, her stools were green, etc etc. On the other hand she was a model baby, she would feed for 10min, at 4wks was sleeping all night and things were going good.
She was born with an Hemangioma (blood birth mark) on her lip, after a few weeks as it grew it got ulcerated and she developed a wound on her lip. The doctor ordered me immediately to stop breastfeeing and feed her by syringe. I did this for a week, it was horrible, I was pumping like crazy every two hours and she ultimately got used to this new feeding style although she never loved it.
As I did research in the Internet, I should have never stoped breastfeeding (the ulcer would have healed on it own). I was so mad at the doctor, but that is another story.
Now I see myself in a totally different situation than before I stoped BFing her. She was off the breast for a week, only receiving a syringe with EBM. She has been back on the breast for a week, but now she can stay at the breast for hours, (her suck is not as strong) she doen't sleep much during the day, she might fall asleep for 20 mins max two times a day. She is mostly at the breast or being held, otherwise she is crying. At night she wakes up continuously and is constantly fidgiting.
I do not mind her changes, I love having her at my breast and i do try to put her on a sling some times, (I work at home, and while I am working she is with her grandmother here at my house). She was so good at the begining I figured it was too good to be true. However, She does not want anyone else to hold her, and does not nap. Whenever I think she is out cold for at least an hour, she wakes up 15mins later. I am worried about her not getting enough sleep. She is not cranky as long as she is with me.
I think she got traumatized from the experience and now is afraid we will go back to the syringe, I feel like she does not want to fall asleep cause she is afraid I won't be there to feed her. I also need to work, so I cannot be with her all the time. I've tried puting her on a sling while I work, but it is a bit uncomfortable. (I work on a computer)
Any suggestions? How can I get her back to her old self? Is it a matter of time? has anyone had a similar situation?
Thank you for your comments. I am sorry it is such a long post, but I needed to explain the whole situation.

text: Ian spent weeks in the NICU and even has a hard time with his bottle, poor suck reflexes and wont open his mouth. Once he gets started, he eats just fine but even the bottle is hard for him. I want to get him on the breast but I cant figure out how. He's 8 weeks now, got out of the NICU 3 weeks ago. I've tried the breast shields, everything. I dont have an issue with letting down in time for him, I let down almost imidiately and produce more than an ounce an hour per side( like three ouces every hour). I let down several times when I pump. I breastfed all three of my other kids for an entire year each. I've tried every position, baths, showers, everything. He wont open his mouth no matter how little or how hungry he is. His pediatrition said the importnant thing is that he's getting the milk and cant think of anything. I've talked to lactation consoltants. I've tried changing his nipple on his bottle from the premie ones they give him in the NICU to the ones that similate breasts but he cant keep a good seal. He has reflux and is on meds but I was hoping he could breastfeed so that he doesnt get as much air all the time. Plus, it's hard to hold him when he wakes up hungry and pump at the same time so I dont soak him and I at night lol. He makes a kissing face when he goes to eat instead of the wide open mouth and you have to try and try again to get the bottle over his tongue so he can eat. To make matters worse, I'm going back to work but I'de love to be able to breastfeed him at night and use whats pumped for durring the day when he's with my mom, I hate formula, no offence to anyone out there, but it makes a mess, its not as easy for them to digest, it smells and is very expensive! HELP!! lol

- Identification and analysis of genes encoding a novel ER-localised Cyclophilin B in wheat potentially involved in storage protein folding
- Author(s)
- Wu, Huimei; Wensley, Emma; Bhave, Mrinal
- Abstract
- The storage protein deposition processes in cereal endosperm follow a strict script involving protein folding and refolding, assortment and protein body deposition by two distinct pathways. The endoplasmic reticulum-localised enzymes called peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) are expected to play crucial 'foldase' and chaperone roles in the deposition of wheat prolamins due to their proline-rich nature. The storage protein quality of wheat is important for nutritional and food technological purposes; however, little information exists on genetic control of protein sorting and deposition processes. In this study, CypB genes encoding an ER-localised cyclophilin (a PPIase) have been characterised from common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. AABBDD) and its progenitors for the first time. The full-length genes contain seven exons and six introns, the exons being significantly more conserved. The putative CypB protein contains all PPIase signature sites including the putative active site and cyclosporin-binding residues, but an atypical ER localisation signal. Using the sequence variations, the common wheat genes were localized to chromosomes 7AL, 7BL and 7DL. The promoters of wheat genes were identified by inverse-PCR and show a number of potential tissue specific regulatory elements. The wheat genes are similar in structure to rice CypB and the putative proteins are 83% identical. Further, certain QTLs related to protein quality occur at the rice and wheat CypB loci. The results support this enzyme being a strong candidate for regulating storage protein quality in wheat.

Allie Petonic said she's made hundreds of calls over the last few days.
"It's not the fancy commercials that candidates buy, it's people talking to other people and I know it's mattering right now," said Petonic.
The executive director of We are Wisconsin said they're concentrating their efforts on knocking on doors and talking to voters face to face.
"Over 257,000 today alone on our way to 1.4 million," said Kristen Crowell. "Those face to face contacts are the critical piece in making sure people are mobilized, energized, and voting on Tuesday."
Volunteers on both sides said they are in it for the long haul and plan to continue their get out the vote efforts through Tuesday.
"Our opportunity to make sure that our agenda matters is right now," said Petonic. "It's the next four days, so we really owe it to ourselves to use this time to take back our government and make it work for ordinary families across our state."
"Everyone that's a part of this and volunteering and making a big difference and we're going to be able to say that we helped Scott Walker in his recall election and we helped move Wisconsin forward by keeping him in office," said Kavalauskas.

If you're tired of wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, you may wonder whether laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery is right for you. After all, LASIK surgery has a good track record and most people are satisfied with the results.
However, LASIK surgery isn't the most appropriate vision-correction option for everyone, and it's not without risks. Read on to determine whether you're a good candidate for LASIK surgery.
When is LASIK a good choice?
LASIK surgery is a type of refractive eye surgery. During the procedure, an eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea, and then uses a laser to reshape the cornea and correct focusing problems in the eye. LASIK surgery is most appropriate for people who have a moderate degree of:
- Nearsightedness (myopia), in which you see nearby objects clearly, but distant objects are blurry
- Farsightedness (hyperopia), in which you can see distant objects clearly, but nearby objects are blurry
- Astigmatism, which causes overall blurry vision
A good surgical outcome depends on careful evaluation of your eyes before the surgery.
What about LASIK surgery for presbyopia?
By the early to mid-40s, most adults have lost some ability to focus on nearby objects (presbyopia), which results in difficulty reading small print or doing other close-up tasks. The condition may continue to worsen until about age 65.
If you have presbyopia, LASIK surgery may give you clear distance vision, but it can actually worsen your ability to see objects close up.
To maintain your ability to see close objects, you might choose to have your vision corrected for monovision. With monovision, one eye is corrected for distant vision, and the other eye is corrected for near vision. However, not everyone is able to adjust to or tolerate monovision. It's best to do a trial with contact lenses before having a permanent surgical procedure.
What are the risks of LASIK surgery?
As with any surgery, LASIK surgery carries risks, including:
- Undercorrection, overcorrection or astigmatism. If the laser removes too little or too much tissue from your eye, you won't get the clearer vision you wanted. Similarly, uneven tissue removal can result in astigmatism.
- Vision disturbances. After surgery you may have difficulty seeing at night. You might notice glare, halos around bright lights or double vision.
- Dry eyes. LASIK surgery causes a temporary decrease in tear production. As your eyes heal, they might feel unusually dry.
- Flap problems. Folding back or removing the flap from the front of your eye during surgery can cause complications, including infection, excess tears and swelling.
What increases the risks?
You're more likely to experience complications from LASIK surgery if you:
Have a condition that may impair your ability to heal. Diseases that affect your immune system, including autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and others) and immunodeficiency diseases (HIV), increase the risk of incomplete healing, infection and other complications.
Taking an immunosuppressive medication also increases the risk of a poor outcome after LASIK surgery.
- Have persistent dry eyes. If you have dry eyes, LASIK surgery may make the condition worse.
- Have anatomic concerns. LASIK surgery may be inappropriate if your corneas are too thin, your corneal surface is extremely irregular, or you have a condition in which the cornea thins and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape (keratoconus).
- LASIK surgery also may not be an appropriate option if you have an abnormal lid position, deep-set eyes or other anatomic concerns.
- Have unstable vision. You may not be eligible for LASIK surgery if the pressure inside your eye is too high or the quality of your vision is fluctuating or getting worse.
- Are pregnant or breast-feeding. Vision can fluctuate during pregnancy and breast-feeding, making the outcome of LASIK surgery less certain.
What other circumstances make LASIK surgery a poor choice?
You might also rethink having LASIK surgery if:
- You have severe nearsightedness. If you're nearsighted and have been diagnosed with a high refractive error, the possible benefits of LASIK surgery may not justify the risks.
- You have fairly good vision. If you see well enough to need contacts or glasses only part of the time, improvement from the surgery may not be worth the risks.
- You have large pupils. If your pupils are prone to opening wide in dim light, LASIK surgery may result in debilitating symptoms such as glare, halos, star bursts and ghost images.
- You actively participate in contact sports. If you regularly receive blows to the face and eyes, such as during martial arts or boxing, LASIK surgery may not be advisable.
- Surgery could jeopardize your career. Jobs requiring precision vision may make it inadvisable to have certain refractive procedures.
- Cost may be an issue. Many insurance plans don't cover the cost of vision-correction surgery.
What are the other options?
If you're not a good candidate for LASIK surgery but you're still interested in vision-correction surgery, alternatives may include:
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). PRK is sometimes used for people who have a low to moderate degree of nearsightedness or farsightedness, those who have nearsightedness with astigmatism, or those who have farsightedness without astigmatism.
PRK removes the thin surface layer of the cornea (epithelium). The surgeon then uses a laser to flatten the cornea or make its curve steeper. It may take three to six months to reach peak visual improvement.
PRK has become less common as LASIK has gained favor, primarily because healing after LASIK is more predictable and usually involves less discomfort and scarring.
- Laser-assisted epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). LASEK is similar to LASIK surgery, but the procedure allows the surgeon to remove less of the cornea, making it a good option for people who have thin corneas.
- People who play sports or have jobs that carry a high risk of eye injuries might also prefer LASEK because a thinner flap in the cornea means the cornea will be less vulnerable to serious damage should the flap be torn before it can heal.
Implantable lenses. Phakic intraocular lenses are implantable lenses that are surgically inserted in front of the natural lens to improve vision.
Implantable lenses can correct high degrees of nearsightedness not easily corrected by other surgical procedures.
The treatment is relatively new. Possible complications, such as cataracts, increased pressure within the eye and damage to the cornea over time, remain a concern.
- Bioptics. Bioptics combines one or more techniques, such as implantable lenses and LASIK, to treat nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Intracorneal ring segments. Intracorneal ring segments may sometimes be used to treat mild nearsightedness. A small incision is made in the cornea, and two crescent-shaped plastic rings are placed where the cornea joins the white part of the eye (sclera) on the cornea's outer edge.
The rings can flatten the cornea so that light rays focus more properly on the retina. If necessary, the rings can later be removed.
To make the most appropriate choice about refractive surgery, weigh the options, including the benefits and risks, with your eye doctor. Good results depend on careful evaluation of your eyes before the surgery as well as a clear understanding of the limitations of each procedure.

- Measuring price deviation to define volatility and the state of price: a study on four major world indexes
- Author(s)
- Hua, Sim Kwan; Hua, Sim Chia
- Abstract
- In financial markets, the state of price is the single most important element to consider, but it has never been an easy task in defining it. This paper studies price deviation in an effort to better define the state of price, it focuses on the analysis of the behavior and psychology of market participants. The evaluation was done on four major indexes across the world, by measuring their price deviation rate over an interval of time. This study introduces a new way of defining and interpreting the state of price in financial markets by quantifying the psychological level of market participants through statistical analysis.

Developing the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a Python application is often a tedious, time-consuming, and opaque process. This is the exact opposite of how Python programmers would describe most other aspects of software development using Python. So what is it about GUI applications that causes them to be so hard? Perhaps more importantly, can anything be done to improve the situation? This article attempts to answer that question and describe how the PythonCard project is addressing these issues.
PythonCard is a cross-platform application framework for the wxPython GUI toolkit (which is a Python version of wxWindows). The goal of the PythonCard project is to bring the power, simplicity, and expressiveness of Python into the realm of GUI development. The project is currently in the prototype stage, but plenty of applications are being developed with it even in this early form. At this point, however, things are in a state of flux as we explore various approaches and develop tools to make GUI application development easier, faster, and more "Pythonic."
Let's start with some of the challenges programmers face during GUI development, such as widget creation, component layout, event handling, and runtime interactions. As we do so, we'll focus on characteristics of the wxPython toolkit. But it's worth noting that while all GUI toolkits are different and no characterization will apply equally to each of them, several of our observations will hold true for just about any GUI toolkit. The real issue for this article is how the PythonCard project is addressing these issues and whether you see a benefit for the kinds of applications you develop. It's also worth noting that we don't consider wxPython to be flawed. In fact, we choose to build on wxPython because we think it is the strongest cross-platform GUI toolkit available for Python. Our intent is simply to make wxPython even better and more accessible to novice GUI programmers, without closing off the ability to write straight wxPython code as a fallback when you need access to features or capabilities PythonCard may not have yet encapsulated.
As we explore these issues, we'll show the source code for a simple application, called Counter. To highlight certain differences, we're going to show the code as it would appear in wxPython and as it appears in PythonCard. Creation of the Counter application is described in Dan Shafer's excellent PythonCard tutorial. The resulting application has buttons and menu choices that increment, decrement, and reset a numeric value displayed in a text control and looks like the following figure:
We said the GUI development process is opaque and we probably need to explain that one first. What we mean is simply that it can be difficult to figure out what is going on inside the various widgets that make up a graphical interface. Python has wonderful runtime introspection capabilities and for most non-GUI applications it is a relatively simple matter to load modules into the Python shell, type a few commands, and look at the resulting state of any object. But the event-driven nature of GUI applications makes it difficult to do this, resulting in objects and actions that are opaque. We thought it would be nice if you could inspect the state of any graphical object just as easily. We thought it would be helpful to be able to manipulate GUI components from a Python shell, while the application was running. Those abilities were among the first features added to PythonCard, in the form of a graphical Python shell called PyCrust.
Because PyCrust is written in Python using the wxPython toolkit, it can be embedded in any wxPython application without conflicting with the application's event loop. PyCrust's modular design allows you to embed a Python command shell and/or a namespace viewer and expose any part of your wxPython application. A minimal application that includes the PyCrust shell looks like this:
from wxPython.wx import *
from PyCrust.shell import Shell
class ShellFrame(wxFrame):
def __init__(self, parent=None, id=-1, title='PyCrust Minimus'):
wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, id, title)
self.shell = Shell(parent=self)
class App(wxApp):
def OnInit(self):
self.frame = ShellFrame()
return true
def main():
application = App(0)
if __name__ == '__main__':
PythonCard takes this one step further by automatically including the PyCrust shell and namespace viewer in every PythonCard application, along with an event message watcher, logger, and property editor. Users of the application built with PythonCard won't normally see these runtime tools, but a standard set of command-line options exposes one or all of them. They are particularly handy during development and debugging. Together they provide a level of transparency that is all too often missing from GUI development environments. For example, this figure shows the Counter example with all of the runtime tools loaded:
The code that makes the PyCrust shell available to the application (and vice versa) is as simple as this:
class PyCrustFrame(MyMiniFrame):
def __init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size, parentApp):
MyMiniFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size)
parentApp.shell = PyCrust.shell.Shell(self, -1)
parentApp.shell.interp.locals['pcapp'] = parentApp
self.parentApp = parentApp
wx.EVT_CLOSE(self, self.onCloseMe)
def onCloseMe(self, evt):
The shell frame is created as a wxPython MiniFrame. The PyCrust shell is added to that frame. The application itself is added to the shell's local namespace as "pcapp". As you can see in the figure above, from this we now have access to the application, the window, the menu and buttons on the window, the attributes and methods of the menus and buttons, and so forth, while the application is running. This gives us the ability to run nearly any Python command in the PyCrust Python shell.
Another area of GUI development that is often tedious and error-prone is associating user actions or events, such as clicking on a mouse button, with the action to be performed, such as incrementing a counter. This is known as binding an event to a handler. Because this is such a common operation, PythonCard has established conventions that allow this binding to take place uniformly and with a minimal amount of coding. To understand exactly what we mean, we need to look at some code to see how the PythonCard approach builds on the standard wxPython approach.
The is what the source code to our Counter application would look like if it were coded directly in wxPython:
from wxPython import wx
ID_FILE_EXIT = wx.NewId()
ID_COUNTER_INCREMENT = wx.NewId()
ID_COUNTER_DECREMENT = wx.NewId()
ID_COUNTER_RESET = wx.NewId()
class MyApp(wx.wxApp):
def OnInit(self):
frame = wx.wxFrame(wx.NULL, -1, "PythonCard Counter Tutorial", size=(204, 160))
self.frame = frame
panel = wx.wxPanel(frame, -1)
self.resetBtn = wx.wxButton(panel, -1, "Reset", (10, 68))
self.decrBtn = wx.wxButton(panel, -1, "Decrement", (10, 38))
self.incrBtn = wx.wxButton(panel, -1, "Increment", (10, 8))
# this event binding is done automatically by the PythonCard framework
wx.EVT_BUTTON(panel, self.resetBtn.GetId(), self.OnResetMouseClick)
wx.EVT_BUTTON(panel, self.decrBtn.GetId(), self.OnDecrMouseClick)
wx.EVT_BUTTON(panel, self.incrBtn.GetId(), self.OnIncrMouseClick)
# post initialization
self.field1 = wx.wxTextCtrl(panel, -1, "42", (127, 19), (55, 46),
# After a control is created, PythonCard then does post initialization for
# the attributes supported by a component. These are extra steps in wxPython.
font = self.field1.GetFont()
font.SetFaceName('MS Sans Serif')
# create the 'File' menu
file_menu = wx.wxMenu()
file_menu.Append(ID_FILE_EXIT, 'E&xit\tAlt+X')
# create the 'Counter' menu
counter_menu = wx.wxMenu()
counter_menu.Append(ID_COUNTER_INCREMENT, 'Increment')
counter_menu.Append(ID_COUNTER_DECREMENT, 'Decrement')
counter_menu.Append(ID_COUNTER_RESET, 'Reset')
# we now need a menu bar to hold the 2 menus just created
menu_bar = wx.wxMenuBar()
menu_bar.Append(file_menu, '&File')
menu_bar.Append(counter_menu, 'Counter')
# set the menu bar (tells the system we're done)
# Using EVT_MENU, we associate the identifier for each menu
# item to a method to be called when the menu item is selected.
wx.EVT_MENU(self, ID_FILE_EXIT, self.OnFileExit)
# we can reuse the methods defined for the buttons
wx.EVT_MENU(self, ID_COUNTER_INCREMENT, self.OnIncrMouseClick)
wx.EVT_MENU(self, ID_COUNTER_DECREMENT, self.OnDecrMouseClick)
wx.EVT_MENU(self, ID_COUNTER_RESET, self.OnResetMouseClick)
return 1
def OnIncrMouseClick(self, event):
endValue = int(self.field1.GetValue()) + 1
def OnDecrMouseClick(self, event):
endValue = int(self.field1.GetValue()) - 1
def OnResetMouseClick(self, event):
def OnFileExit(self, event):
app = MyApp(0)
You can see that there is a substantial amount of overhead involved in associating events with their handlers. The same application coded using PythonCard is actually divided into two files. One file contains the application logic while the other is a resource file describing the attributes of all the GUI components. In other words, we're separating form and function. The application code looks like this:
from PythonCardPrototype import model
class Counter(model.Background):
def on_menuFileExit_select(self, event):
def on_menuCounterIncrement_select(self, event):
startValue = int(self.components.field1.text)
endValue = startValue + 1
self.components.field1.text = str(endValue)
def on_menuCounterDecrement_select(self, event):
startValue = int(self.components.field1.text)
endValue = startValue - 1
self.components.field1.text = str(endValue)
def on_menuCounterReset_select(self, event):
self.components.field1.text = "0"
def on_incrBtn_mouseClick(self, event):
startValue = int(self.components.field1.text)
endValue = startValue + 1
self.components.field1.text = str(endValue)
def on_decrBtn_mouseClick(self, event):
startValue = int(self.components.field1.text)
endValue = startValue - 1
self.components.field1.text = str(endValue)
def on_resetBtn_mouseClick(self, event):
self.components.field1.text = "0"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = model.PythonCardApp(Counter)
So, how does PythonCard bind events to the appropriate handler? If you look at the wxPython example you'll notice that there is a certain amount of consistency in the naming of the event handlers, such as "OnIncrMouseClick" and "OnDecrMouseClick". This consistency is not required, but it is fairly typical in practice. PythonCard leverages a consistent naming scheme to automatically associate handlers with the events that should trigger them.
The scheme works like this. The PythonCard framework intercepts all wxPython events. For each one, it looks at the name of the component that triggered the event, such as a button named "incrBtn". Then it looks for a method name with three pieces of information separated by underscores: a prefix of "on" followed by the name of the component followed by the name of the event, such as "mouseClick". When it finds a match the code is executed--automatic event binding.
The resource file for the Counter application appears below. While the structure of the resource file will be recognizable to any Python programmer, and can be edited by hand if necessary, it is typically maintained using the graphical Resource Editor tool supplied with PythonCard.
'backgrounds': [
'title':'PythonCard Counter Tutorial',
'size':(204, 160),
'menubar': {'type':'MenuBar',
'menus': [
'items': [
'items': [
'components': [
'position':(10, 68),
'position':(10, 38),
'position':(10, 8),
'position':(127, 19),
'size':(55, 46),
'font':{'size': 24, 'family': 'sansSerif'},
] # end components
} # end background
] # end backgrounds
} }
By separating PythonCard applications into two parts, the application code and the application resource file, we've removed some of the time and tedium involved in GUI development. At the same time, storing resource information as standard Python structures (dictionaries, lists, tuples, and so on) allows for the creation of additional editing tools or the manipulation of the resource file by custom utilities written in Python. Let's take a look at the Resource Editor and see how it works.
The Resource Editor is one of the development tools included with PythonCard, in addition to a Code Editor, Text Editor, and File Finder. The idea behind the Resource Editor is fairly simple--read and write to a resource file where GUI objects are described in general terms using standard Python structures. Inside the Editor, allow the creation and modification of GUI widgets and their properties. And automatically associate a resource file with an application so that the resource file is loaded and used to build the interface when the application is launched.
This figure shows the Resource Editor with the Counter application resource file loaded:
And here is another screen shot showing the Component menu options:
(In case you're curious, the answer is yes, the Resource Editor is itself a PythonCard application with its own resource file. In fact, the Resource Editor can be used to edit its very own resource file.)
The development of graphical user interfaces is a complex undertaking and we think we're headed in the right direction with PythonCard. Credit Alan Kay with originating the expression that "Simple things should be simple and complex things should be possible." We're doing our best to apply that motto to GUI development in Python. At the same time, there are plenty of areas that need to be explored. Recent discussions on the PythonCard list have centered on the use of sizers to control layout, the creation of compound components, and the ability to persist data transparently between application sessions. So we'd like to invite you to join in our efforts. Complete project information can be found at www.pythoncard.org. If you're attending OSCON 2002, plan to come to our tutorial . And, finally, we'd like to thank Python and wxPython for making our project possible.

For about 2 weeks now I have not had enough milk to satisfy my 2 month old on my right side. For the first 3 minutes I am fine and I am even squwirting everywhere but after that I am completly empty and then I have to switch to the other breast so she can get enough to eat. (I switch every other breast with every feeding to give her the fat content in it) And then the left side feeding I always have enough for her so I know I am not loosing my milk altogether. Even when she sleeps for a 5-6 hour span at night I still don't have enough on my right for her. I called a lactation consultant and she told me to massage from the collar bone down to the nipple and it should take 5-7 minutes to start to let down again and it just isn't working.
I eat oatmeal and drink liquids and I am doing the weight watchers diet but I am adding 10 points to everyday-and it was doing it before I started the diet.
I have always had a difficult time on my right breast though-it was sore until about 2 weeks ago and it was bleeding and blistered up until she was about 6 weeks old. I don't feel stressed out until after she is tugging on my nipple because I already have run out of milk so I don't think I am too stressed really. I feel calm and I concentrate on thinking about milk and I just don't know what else to do. I feel like I went through hell and so much pain for 2 months and now this... I am determined to make this work even if I have to only feed her on my left for the next year-but it would be a lot more convient if I could switch breasts again.
What is mothers milk liquid and tea? And brewers yeast is beer?-should I be drinking that?

February 4, 2014: Imagine living on a planet with seasons so unpredictable you would hardly know what to wear: Bermuda shorts or a heavy overcoat! That's the situation on a weird world found by NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope. The planet, designated Kepler-413b, is located 2,300 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It circles a close pair of orange and red dwarf stars every 66 days. But what makes this planet very unusual is that it wobbles, or precesses, wildly on its spin axis, much like a child's top. The planet's orbit is tilted with respect to the plane of the binary star's orbit. Over an 11-year period, the planet's orbit too would appear to wobble as it circles around the star pair. All of this complex movement leads to rapid and erratic changes in seasons.See the rest:

How to Get Involved: Pregnancy and Beyond
Many expectant fathers mistakenly believe that their role in their child's life doesn't really begin or matter until he or she is about two years old and is walking, talking and can play interactively. However, the father-child bond can begin the moment you learn your partner is pregnant and only increases in importance and impact when the baby is born.
Women have an obvious advantage when it comes to bonding with their unborn baby. They are able to feel every twist, kick and hiccup for nine long months, while you are limited to feeling those kicks through her belly and watching her go through morning sickness, hormone roller coasters and childbirth. So here are some ways you can begin to bond with your baby before he or she is even born:
Once the baby is here, your role takes on even greater importance. Studies have shown that babies understand the difference between you and mom as early as three months old. With the exception of breastfeeding, dads can do everything moms can do for their newborn.

"I was able to import pictures from my ipad onto the card and they looked fabulous and flawless. The paper used is so professional people couldn't believe I did this myself. Great product."
"This graduation party invitation turned out beautifully, and we've received many compliments on how professional and high quality it is. Highly recommend!"
"Very elegant looking card. I used the black & gold colors and personalized it on the back with 2 photo options from my son's High School years. Several compliments from friends who received this announcement."
"The announcements came out wonderful. I was able to use my son's school colors. The paper quality was awesome! 100% satisfaction"
"The paper quality is what I expected for what I chose - I did not upgrade to the heavyweight paper but perhaps should have. Everyone has been very impressed with the look of the announcements and design of the front/back and coordinated envelopes. I found it easy to customize and order and received everything promptly and as expected. Highly recommend tinyprints!"

So I am wondering if only half emptying a breast increases foremilk.
Most of the time I double pump both sides empty. However, sometimes at work I only pump halfway on one side to make sure that I have lots of milk for my lunchtime feeding when I get to see my LO.
We block feed when we are together, but I double pump to make up for the two bottles he has in the morning. If he only had one bottle I would only pump one side. However, since I normally block feed sometimes he has to nurse on both sides at lunch to get enough if I pump both. -milk supply is really slow to refill both when I pump both. It seemed he was getting too much foremilk when nursing both sides - so I just starting pumping one side empty and then half pumping the other side to get a good letdown and save milk for him at lunchtime.
I am concerned because the bottle I deliver for the afternoon is then 1.5 breasts worth with double foremilk and only one breast worth of hindmilk. However, he's probably only getting hindmilk at lunch when we nurse.
Well we've got green poops all the time now, and I'm confused. He recently had a bad bout of diarrhea too from the antibiotics i took, so maybe it's just that- but does partially pumping that one breast result in it making more foremilk?
Please help!

Indigo Gal...
Here's a link from Kelly's Mom it's about vegetarian eating and breastfeeding.
Also what you said about having plenty of fat stores I think is completely right I've heard that that is why we gain weight while pregnant, for nursing. I have plenty of fat stores as well... Here's another link about GERD baby symptoms and not gaining adequate weight is one of them.
Here's a quote from that page...
RosePetal...Warning signs of severe reflux:
Inconsolable or severe fussiness or crying associated with feedings.
Poor weight gain, weight loss, or failure to thrive. Difficulty eating. Breast/food refusal.
Difficulty swallowing, sore throat, hoarseness, chronic nasal/sinus congestion, chronic sinus/ear infections.
Spitting up blood or green/yellow fluid.
Sandifer's syndrome: Baby may 'posture' and arch the neck & back to relieve reflux pain--this lengthens the esophagus and reduces discomfort.
Breathing problems: bronchitis, wheezing, chronic cough, pneumonia, asthma, aspiration, apnea, cyanosis.
My son had similar red bumps/patches and I eliminated dairy and they went away. They would also get redder the more upset he got. His skin was very sensitive if you touched his face it would get a red spot. But since I cut out dairy his skin has totally cleared up. Cutting out dairy and soy products does limit your variety especially with already prepared foods and fast foods. But I try to go with fresh unprocessed foods and plenty of fruits and veggies. He also used to swallow alot when he layed on his back similiar to when a person has stomach acid come back up. But now that's gone too.

My friend had other activities during our morning walk times and suggested we head to the high school track in the "cooler" temperatures of 80 degrees as the sun was going down. This particular day, however, she was going to be busy in the evening as well. I thought I could still get in at least three miles with the kids on the trail, so we headed out not-so-early in the morning.
The boys found webs of worms in the trees and along the hand rails. Then came the lizards and the huge grasshoppers. That was enough to cause their younger sister alarm and she clung to my hand and tried to affix herself to my side. I assured her she would be fine.
As the excitement died down and we moved at a nice pace looking at muddied waters of the San Antonio River, we came to the third switchback path and the boys screamed collectively. Eyes wide and mouths open, they came back to where their sister and I were walking.
"Mom! Look!"
It was my little vulture friend perched on a handrail above us. Each time I have passed it of late, it has been at a different spot in the trail all about the same stretch. The kids decided they had had enough of a walk and we turned back around. As we got to the top of the hill at the old railroad bridge, they attempted to persuade me to turn back around and continue our walk. It seems my matter-of-fact manner in describing my "run-ins" with the "little" one had them calmed and curious enough to go back and observe the bird. I assured them we would be walking later that evening and I had a day of activities like getting an oil change for my car and looking for a particular type of fertilizer for my lawn.
Ah, the excitement never ends! We were on the wooden path headed down the hill and the boys screamed again. All I saw was the rustling of some leaves, but one was convinced it was a coral snake.
My youngest son began to tell us everything he had learned about snakes this year in school. He had been given several books on them and was quite knowledgeable. He expressed gratitude that it hadn't been a cobra. Yeah, me too.
His older brother was convinced it was not that snake and said it had white in its markings. Either way, I knew with the worms, lizards, grasshoppers, vulture and now a snake, my hike-and-bike days were over for the summer if the kids accompanied me.
Later that evening, I wondered if my track-walking days were numbered as well. I jogged the straight stretch ready for the corner walk only to be met by my youngest son. It seems my 9-year-old pushed his 8-year-old nephew who fell into the 6-year-old sister/aunt! I'd just warned them on my last lap not to be hopping and pushing because somebody would get hurt.
We left the track to ice down her swollen, purple cheekbone just below her eye. It was a good hit apparently.
In life, we are going to encounter the worms, lizards, grasshoppers, vultures and snakes - the situations or circumstances that make us stop in our tracks and change our directions. It happens to all of us.
We are going to sometimes get a little banged up, whether physically or emotionally by events in which we partake. But we all have a direction or a path that we can take. We can alter that path at any given moment.
Sometimes, we must walk the path alone. Sometimes, we have to suspend our walk for a bit until we can regroup. Sometimes, we have to change our locale to walk a path we seek.
Whatever path you may choose, don't let the realities of life keep you from your destination. A friend taught me this, "Con Dios, se puede hacer todos." With God, I can do all things, roughly speaking.
Scripture says it like this - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
In Matthew 19:26a, "with God all things are possible." And if you are not convinced yet, "Jesus said to him, 'If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.' " (Mark 9:23)
Whatever our path, we need never walk it without the comfort of the One who created us. He often carries us.

[Pages 96-97]
by Abraham Baru (his eldest son)
Donated by Barnett. F. Baron
He was a colorful personality, full of good deeds and actions, and a great scholar who devoted himself to public welfare from the moment he ascended to the rabbinate in his twenties. He was also well-versed and appreciative of the research literature of Judaism, the fruit of the enlightenment. This knowledge, however, did not affect one bit his faithful adherence to the Torah and its traditions. It just broadened his opinions and enriched his knowledge. He was one of Hillel's students; that is, he sought the good even among the most unworthy. At the same time, he jealously guarded his independence from the men of means who wanted to obtain privilege unjustly and made them obey his sentences.
He suffered a great deal from the spiritual schisms in his home town, which resulted from the nasty competition and the meanness of some establishment figures. As a responsible person and an intelligent man full of noble ideals, he strived to help existing enterprises flourish and helped establish aid societies for the needy. In this work he revealed his prowess and determination. He labored first in establishing a mutual savings and loan association. He collected the first subscriptions from the members but then refused to serve on the Board of Directors. He was also of great assistance in establishing the Bank for Mutual Credit. He invested much time and expense in traveling to Kharkov and Kiev until he managed to convince the managements of the great banks to extend mortgage credit on favorable terms to the merchants of Zvihil. In this way he saved many of these landlords from bankruptcy and loan sharks.
He also labored hard to establish legal aid. When a regulation was enacted to expel Jews from their rural estates he traveled far to St. Petersburg and met with great and famous Jewish lawyers such as Gruzenberg and Schlossberg[3], and convinced them to open in Zvihil a legal consultation office of the General Committee of Jewish Lawyers in Russia. To this office were invited evicted farmers, and after examining their individual cases, all efforts were made to secure for them legal permission to return to the rural areas. These are just a few examples of his activities on behalf of his community and his help to the needy.
He could not confine himself only to the framework of his own community and its mundane preoccupations, but was also devoted to the solution of national problems. He was an ardent Zionist and in his time, the time of Herzl's initial movement, he influenced Professor Mendelstein[4] of Kiev, when he visited him for consultation, to come out in an open declaration against those rabbis who were inciting the people against Zionism. Rabbi Isaiah proved to him that many of the observant Jews were working within the Zionist camp and did not respond to the rabbis' incitations. Later he softened the language of the Professor's declaration which was written at first in the sharpest language which would have had the effect of creating greater dissention.
He was a moderate, broad-minded, and peace-loving person. When there was a fierce battle around the group of rebels that formed around Fireberg, he joined the group and protected it. He even helped Fireberg[5] when he brought him his first writings, his first story The Calf, and so on.
Even though he was a Zionist, his heart was broken when the waves of emigration grew larger. When he learned that the emigrants to Argentina had failed and that many emigrants were leaving the collapsing enterprise and refused to wait for transportation and absorption facilities in Israel, he made great efforts to secure an emigration permit from the British Government in the form of an official charter to establish Jews on the land in Canada. The first Jews who entered Canada under this charter received government help, were absorbed into agriculture, and met with great success.
Many public officials became interested in these affairs which were widely publicized in the Jewish general press in Russia. This greatly annoyed the dictatorial minister Plevor and he published an official declaration in the Government Gazetteer: Since some provincial rabbi, in the name of Baru, appears officially as the representative of the English Government, and helps in the emigration of Jews to Canada, we hereby announce that this action is illegal and is forbidden to continue, otherwise he will be indicted and punished. This sudden announcement broke his heart. He became very ill and was forced to go to Germany to seek a cure.
Due to the effort he invested in the program, many people accused him of being anti-Zionist. But soon the libel was dispelled as he continued with even greater zeal in his Zionist efforts and his home was the meeting place of various Zionist committees. He wrote a number of Zionist tracts but did not manage to publish them or take them out of Russia when he immigrated to Israel.
After the pogroms and the big fire in Zvihil, he left the city in 1919 and stayed in Warsaw until May 1921 and in the beginning of August of the same year arrived in Israel. He took up residence in Tel Aviv among the common people and refused to serve as a rabbi. His children arrived in Israel and supported him, while he concentrated on his studies and published two books, The Return to Zion and The Defense, in which he exalted the building of the land. He was preparing other volumes when a sudden death snatched him away when he was full of energy and desire to publish his writings.
He loved the land but was not always happy with the ways of the young, since his vision was to see the land built on the basis of the old tradition. He was very happy to see the beginning of construction and the first ones who built the land in the natural way, since the land would be built by their efforts and not by the rabbis who pretended to be great sages and yet refrained from participating in the work of establishment.
He left after him a son and two daughters in Israel, two sons in America, and one daughter in Russia.

Linn County health officials are offering free booster shots to students as cases of whooping cough continue to rise locally and statewide.
The Gazette says the county health department is partnering with middle and high schools to provide as many free shots as possible to students 10 and older.
The Iowa Department of Public Health says 1,085 cases of whooping cough, or pertussis, have been reported in Iowa this year. That's up nearly 5 times the number reported in 2011.
There have been 178 cases in Linn County this year, by far the most in the state.
Whooping cough spreads through the air when an infected person coughs. It's a preventable infection through vaccination.

Hello! I am a new mom to a preemie, born 6 days ago by c-section. She is being tube fed, and I am trying to pump enough that she is getting breastmilk exclusively. My milk came in on around the 4th day, and I seem to be producing enough for her for now (around 3 ounces at every pumping. No idea if this is okay or not).
Anyway, I was feeling okay about things, but one of the NICU nurses felt my breasts right after pumping, and said that I wasn't even close to emptying my breasts. The problem is, they never seem to empty! I pumped for 45 minutes last night (double pumping on a Lactina). Things slowed down a little, but never stopped, and the sides and tops of my breasts still felt hard. I've been massaging my breasts as I pump, and that speeds up the flow, but still doesn't seem to empty my breasts. The nurses seem to be concerned about the hindmilk my baby isn't getting if I can't empty my breasts. Also, they mentioned that my production would slow down if I didn't empty them.
I tried another 45 minutes session this morning, and I thought for a second the milk had stopped. But after pumping, I massaged down my left breast (this breast only produces 1/2 what the other one does, btw, and always feels hard), and little streams started jetting out. Obviously not empty!!!
Anyway, I would love any advice. I know I'm not really supposed to be pumping for that long, but it comes so slowly, and never seems to stop. I don't want to deprive my baby of the higher calorie hindmilk that she needs, or hurt my supply by not emptying the milk! Thanks in advance-

Operation and Maintenance
Log Sheet Data
Our industrial wastewater treatement operation has two shifts on weekdays and one shift on weekends and holidays. Our various log sheets have columns for data logging and operator initials for both shifts. During weekdays all columns on the log sheets are filled in by both shifts. On weekends and holidays only one shift works, so only the columns for that shift are filled in. A dash is put in the spaces in the empty columns where no shift was working and no data collected.
One of our managers is insisting that rather than dashes in the empty columns, to represent no one working and no data collected, that we should put in zeros.
Everyone else believes that zero is a measurement and represents a false reading.
This difference of opinion is escalating into a major issue.
Any experience you can relate or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Why not a space at top or bottom of shift column with a notation that plant was unstaffed during that shift?
Or use N/A notation in data entry space, if not too many spaces. The fewer places to enter "Unstaffed" notation the more likely it will be accepted.

text: This method has been around for centuries! It's a powerful Ayuveda technique that removes bacteria from your mouth, gums and teeth and whitens your teeth without using bleach. This is what happened to me this month: my sister told me I had to do it every morning because she read it helps with fertility (my hubby and I have been trying for three years, so I pretty much try anything now!). I did it every morning and after just a couple days noticed my teeth looked whiter but didn't think much of it. Then two weeks later I went to the dentist for my biannual checkup and was ready to get a big lecture. My dentist was half way through the cleaning when he asked "you floss twice a day, right?" I said "I wish, I've been really bad about it lately and am lucky if I do it once a week." He said my gums were so healthy, didn't bleed at all and there was barely any tartar. He continued with his cleaning then said "you bleach your teeth, right?" To which I also told him no. He said my teeth were so white that when I walked in the room he thought I had gotten veneers! I finally told him I've been oil pulling. He had never heard of it but said my mouth, gums and teeth were extremely healthy and he was going to look into it. I was so excited that I actually got a good report card that I've been telling all of my friends and now my readers! I've since learned it can also clear up acne and your sinuses, prevent gingivitis and promotes heart health! Here's your Oil Pulling 101: (more…)
