During the festivities to celebrate the jubilee of the lyceum, the capricious French master made a cuckold of the Headmaster in the bucolic surroundings of the cricket pitch.
Edit or, to put it another way:-
The capricious French Master, with glee
Did cuckold the Headmaster, did he,
In a bucolic ditch
By the Schools cricket pitch
At the lyceums grand jubilee

At the jubilee celebrating the founding of the lyceum, the inebriated cuckold made a capricious pass at a young bucolic.

Neither the bucolic surroundings nor the terpsichorean beauty of the murmurings emanating just now from the lyceum's dim stage were sufficient to distract the cuckolded fellow from the rueful anticipation of tomorrow's jubilee celebration with the capricious harpy who was his first and only love.

Rosanne Cash's comparison of a live performance to a Buddhist monk's wiping away of a sand mandala reminded us of this fantastic two-minute, time-lapse video.
Two legendary Buddhist teachers shine a light on the lofty ideal of loving your enemies and bring it down to Earth. How can that be realistic, and what do we have to do inside ourselves to make it more possible? In a conversation filled with laughter and friendship, Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share much practical wisdom on how we relate to that which makes us feel embattled from without, and from within.

The TM organization
The TM organization (Transcendental Meditation) staged a week-long meditation with 7000 people together in about 1984. I was there in Fairfield, Iowa. Pretty interesting stuff happened. THey also, back in 1979 or so, sent hundreds of volunteers to surround war zones and meditate all day every day, for 30 days. They sent social scientists to study the effects. Apparently the acts of violence decreased, the economy improved, and hospital admissions dropped. We had a similar effect in prisons when teaching TM there, as I did in San Quentin, in the 1980's. Even non-meditators seemed to change their behavior.
Great post about your
Great post about your community's work. Would love more info on the study. Could you share a link to the data & findings?
It was a beautiful program!
It was a beautiful program! The interviews on this site seem endlessly inspiring. What a treasure is On Being.
However, I'm also laughing at Krista's characterization of Sharon and Bob as "legendary Buddhist teachers!" This may be a coherent compliment in the West. However, in the East it is very humorous! A kind of oxymoron..... legendary Buddhist!
In this spirit, what do you get when you cross a Zen Buddhist and a Jehovah's Witness?
Someone who rings your doorbell for no apparent reason! : -))
The linking power of humor!
The linking power of humor! The inspirational power of humor! The just plain POWER of humor! It MUST be a KEY component in all of this. When I picture "God," this being is always ready to laugh. We can be so pitiful, but I am also sure we make this being laugh (our salvation hand in hand with forgiveness and reconciliation).

one of my favorite radio show, thank you for "being"
I think it's no coincidence
I think it's no coincidence that my cat woke me up early and I turned this program on. I needed to hear it. I've been angry since I was laid off from my job several months ago at the hand of the workplace bully. As a result of the layoff, I'm having to move from a town I love back to a city I'm not too fond of - the disappointment, sadness & anger is making me exhausted & not a fun person to hang around with.
Thank you for opening my mind & my eyes to what I'm doing to myself. I've ordered your latest book and look forward to opening my heart.
Bless you...
Bless you...

I do not subscribe to Facebook (literally and otherwise) , and hope there is another way for me to participate
in the upcoming online teaching. It is also of concern to me that Facebook and Twitter participation is often necessary

Thank you for your programming and hearing this.

Invoking Facebook or Twitter
Invoking Facebook or Twitter frustrates me also. When I try to understand rather than judge this hurdle, I return to the idea that reaching any worthy goal requires effort.
Yet again, this week's show
Yet again, this week's show with Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman reminds me of the little I know and practice and simultaneously the great hope and potential for anyone's life, including --- thankfully --- mine.
Around the 50th minute of the unedited version, there was a dialogue on the reality of vast interrelationships. I immediately thought that Christians this weekend are celebrating All Saints Day this weekend and homilies are rich with this important perspective, focusing on the "communion of saints". Today's definition of this concept is more expansive than the past and can encompass all the dead and the living members of all the various communities in which we reside. Often as I recite the Lord's Prayer and reach the phrase "give us this day our daily bread", I try to pause and equate the day's bread with all the people responsible for some single task I will do, thanking God for them all. It is but one small exercise to moderate my ego and help me realize the dependencies in my life.
Thank you for providing so much positive energy this day.
I do believe that "the pain
I do believe that "the pain and sufferings" will be always with us for ever, The physical pain and emotional sufferings. We need to use our coping skills by utilizing available resources and support systemsms. The Spiritual Support just-in-time. God's presence is with us for ever to overcome our pain and sufferings. Thank you.

It started 3 yrs ago when I forgave a Nigerian scammer and embraced the fact that I fell in love with someone who didn't even exist. That opened a world of possibilities. Then about 3 weeks ago I listened to your old show on marriage's future and embraced my heart's desire again to a huge awakening. Today you published that awakening. Deep calls to deep, Krista! The question was before: do we have a connection of coincidence? Now it is: Who do I intend to hear from next? Krista will put them on the show! Thanks for the profound and the simple. EVERY WEEK!

Can someone please share the facebook page that was mentioned at the very end?
I was surprised that neither
I was surprised that neither Thurman nor Salzberg brought up the most logical method in Buddhism to "love our enemies." If we have had innumerable lifetimes and have experienced all realms of suffering, at one point all sentient beings were once my mother, hence: [In the Exchange of Self and Others within Lama Chopa)]
"My mothers,, all these pitiful beings
Have looked after me so often with kindness
So by these thoughts, just like a loving mother for her suffering son,
Please bless me to develop natural compassion . . . ..
Krista, you quote Bob as
Krista, you quote Bob as saying, "It is highly rational for us to love our enemies." That made me think about how intention figures in to loving one's enemies. Why are we doing it? Because it's rational, in the sense that it will ultimately benefit us or the "enemy?" And, given the Buddhist ontology—non-self, non-substantiality, transience of all phenomena--what's the difference?
I found the meditation
I found the meditation Thurman shared to be very useful, would there be a source for ordering these sort of guided meditations?
As I grow spiritualy,I
As I grow spiritualy,I realize religon is used by some to put labels on people,in terms that have nothing to do with the spirit. A judgement of how someone should grow,live and love. It might take someone an entire lifetime to realize they do not know what they believe.The awareness of humility,love and respect for others is a step in the right direction.To continue on this path is the way to grow spiritualy.
I found this On Being
I found this On Being broadcast very interesting. I've never studied Buddhism and so I found the ideas of how to deal with ones anger very fascinating. I have to admit that I hold on to my anger all the time instead of talking about it or just letting it go. I can say that when my wife and I get in to an argument, I sometimes bring up things that have happened in the past. I have a hard time letting those old things that have bothered me go. Perhaps if I studied Buddhism a little more, I'd be able to let things go a little easier.
I know from experience just how much people time people can spend being angry at others. Thankfully, my wife has pointed this out to me, and I have been working on it. I realize now that getting angry should not be my first response and that it can be a wasted emotion. Anger is something that can get in ones way of what they want. In this way, we can be our own worst enemy.
Thank you, Krista Tippet,
Thank you, Krista Tippet, from the bottom of my heart for being who you are and for bringing to us the most amazing human beings to your programs and sharing light with us. Thank you. You enrich our lives :)
As a Vieteran--a veteran of
As a Vieteran--a veteran of the Vietnam War, I've spent a long time trying to come to grips with the idea and practice of embracing the enemy. Even with intent and effort, it is not easy.
Along my crooked trail, in an effort to find some kind of peace of mind and comfort in the foibles and folly from my youthful naivete, I have met the enemy and found forgiveness and a grace I had not expected.
The Vietnamese, for lots of different reasons, have been able to forgive us for our transgressions. I suspect that stems partly from their "winning" the war, but more importantly, it is a result of their Buddhist attitudes and philosophy. One only has to visit their country to feel this.
Even as the 50th Anniversary of the beginning of US involvement looms,(no political discussion here, about when we got involved--it does go back further than that) with attendant revisionism rampant, that war never ended. We have yet to embrace the enemy or forgiven ourselves for that vulgar episode in our history.
Toward that,I've made a documentary about American Veterans who have taken that brave and forgiving effort by putting healing into motion with their work.

I've learned to be skeptical
I've learned to be skeptical of anyone who tells me to "embrace" stuff. The language of new age "mindfulness" is becoming as banal as any Medieval doctrine.
Skepticism is a wonderful
Skepticism is a wonderful thing. I value it. I treasure it. I rely upon it. I was raised on it and thrived. I will never give it up. It is the best gift my mother and grandmother gave me. That being said, one must also value, treasure and rely upon truth when you come across it. One of my most trusted guides to Truth is humor. Does whatever I am examining stand the test of humor? Can one stand in the midst of whatever belief or presence is being examined, and laugh from the gut, with not only appreciation, but camaraderie? If the answer is a resounding "Yes!" then I will replace my initial skepticism with trust. It's the best I've come up with so far.

MS. TIPPETT: Let me ask you this. Here in the 21st century, 13 years in, so many people in the west — I mean, this is so interesting 'cause I know the two of you were among the groups of people who in the 60s and 70s really kind of imported Buddhism in eastern religions to the west for the first time. And now at this point, it really feels to me like there's this, you know, this critical mass of people exploring meditation, taking up meditation, yoga. You know, just I think even in the last five years, it's on every corner.
I know obviously, there's a real variety in the quality of all of that, you know. But there it is. It's there and so many people are finding something in it. I just want to ask the two of you about, let's say, one of the most kind of counter-cultural pieces of the ethos of that and it's this kind of mystical idea that you can get in an ordinary yoga class or an ordinary meditation session in some inner city that, when you sit there and do this inward work of breathing and planting yourself in something, that infinite goodness or dedicating your hour of yoga to other people, right, that somehow that act, that what looks like a private act, does send something out into the world, does have an effect on the world.
I think that's a pretty mysterious idea that a lot of people are just kind of taking in now and taking in seriously. So I'm curious about how you would — how you understand that.

I listened to this while I
I listened to this while I cleaned the barn this morning. Wow. I mean just wow. I came up Sharon Salzberg's writing through a reference from Martha Beck and was very much helped by how she opened up what it means to bless your enemies. This practice has saved my sanity. My mother in law and I had a very difficult relationship, so much so that I would obsess about her all the time. I think it was Sharon's writing that reminded me about wishing someone well, and about how that wishing can turn bad stuff around to good, that got me practicing it with my mother in law. The Buddhist mantra of wishing someone good health etc was too complicated so I asked God to bless her, even when I didn't feel like it. It was an act of the will. There was no point in my rehashing the feelings. I knew what they were. I did this multiple times a day for twenty years. We even stopped speaking to her for five years. (This is not how I wanted it to go.) But, but when she got ready to die, she asked me to be one of her powers that be--attorney, health care, executor. And I wanted to do this. And there was deep healing and reconciliation between us. Here's a link to a This I Believe I wrote:

all hail THE MOSS

Oh Miles, someday that'll be you too.ReplyCancel
Yup Miley will one day be old (God willing and the creek don't rise) and these words will come back to haunt her.
Question, however, why would Moss want to go to one of Miley's parties? She's gonna have to hang around a bunch of young'uns. THAT would be boring to me.ReplyCancel

The salt of the earth - Marc Fosh
Marc Fosh, the British star-winning chef who is extremely successful in Majorca with his exceptional recipes, will be the Star Chef on long-haul flights from Germany in November and December 2010.
Marc Fosh started his restaurant career in London at the age of 16. After working in top restaurants in England and France, he went to the Basque country where he learned and came to love the Spanish art of cooking. In 2002 he became the first and only British chef to have been awarded a Michelin star in Spain. This he has successfully defended – since 2009 in his own restaurant, "Simply Fosh" on Majorca.
There he cooks for local people and visitors with his exceedingly good dishes. It is the food, often elaborately prepared, that people rave about: the pair of inconspicuous little grains of salt hardly attract any notice, yet they have an astonishing effect. His "Sal de Flor" chocolate truffles especially are a real treat for the taste buds of a very unusual kind. He gives many of his dishes a final touch in the form of an exquisite salt. As he says, "It is just a small thing, but it changes so much!"
Simply salt
During the two months that Marc Fosh is responsible for the menus, two little salt containers will be laid out on the Business Class tray as a giveaway. Naturally they will be filled with the high-grade salts that Marc Fosh uses himself. So there will be no bounds on experimental flavours in your own kitchen! The two types of salt are pictured on the Business Class menu card cover – branded in the typical Marc Fosh way.
You can find out more about Star Chef Marc Fosh and his "Simply Fosh" restaurant on his website: www.simplyfosh.com.

My little one is 4 wks and was born at 34 wks. He has been taking a bittle since he was in the nicu becasue we didn't have much success at bf. He started bf a wk after he was home but he is tounge tied and he was not latching properly and was flatening one side of my nipple out. Needless to say after 24 hours I bf a few times a day and pumped the rest. He seems to not be confused btw the two...but I have thrush and am giving him formula. I have not bf him for about 1 wk and am afraid that he will not bf once his tounge is clipped and once I get the thrus cleared up. Any ideas?
Plus since he is tounge tied it appears that when he takes the bottle that his upper lip completely is sucked in. I tried to get him to take the bottle w/ his lip out but he doesn't seem to be able to suck once it is out. Is it normal for it to be in? (dumb question but no idea) He seem to be ok at the brest just doesn't latch properly.

Bradley Cooper didn't necessarily have the wildest of birthday celebrations, but his special day certainly didn't go unnoticed.
The Silver Linings Playbook star, who turned 38 on Saturday, was greeted by a slew of screaming fans when he arrived on the red carpet at the 24th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala in Palm Springs, Calif.
"Bradley started interacting with his fans and then they broke out into song, chanting 'Happy birthday to you,'" an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Running late into the event because of the fan holdup, Cooper whisked by many of the reporters, and when asked about his birthday plans, answered with a smile, "I'm here!"
But the birthday surprises didn't end there.
After being honored with a Desert Palm Achievement Award presented by Playbook director David O. Russell, PEOPLE's former Sexiest Man Alive was given a shoutout by event host Mary Hart, who insisted the entire room sing "Happy Birthday" to the actor.
"It seemed very unexpected," the onlooker adds. "He seemed a little shy and embarrassed by it, but while managing to smile still."

Review of a BUSY Weekend
Ah, it's so great to be back to blogging after a busy weekend! I've got a lot to tell you guys, so hang in there! Lots of interesting stuff happened this weekend…
- Saturday against the Indians: 8-6 Indians
It was a pretty good game from the Padres' side, actually. Cha Seung Baek started, not allowing a baserunner until he gave up a bunt single in the third. He pitched four innings, giving up two runs on two hits. I think he's getting a little better. Justin Hampson has been falling apart a bit lately. He gave up four runs on three hits. Arturo Lopez gave up two runs. But the other three pitchers did well.
The hitting highlight of this game was probably outfielder Drew Macias. He had three hits and a great defensive game as well. Cliff Floyd drove in two runs, and Luis Rodriguez had an RBI. I think we did pretty well in this game. Obviously the pitching is still struggling, but I seriously think that the hitters are ready to go. They've been in camp for a while, and they are ready. But there are still a lot of roster decisions to be made, so it's good that some of these guys are getting as many ABs as possible. This half of the Padres lost 8-6.
- Saturday against the Giants: 8-4 Padres
We won half of this split-squad thingy! If you had asked me, I would have said that the team in Peoria would have won, but no. It was the Scottsdale team that came out on top.
Cesar Ramos started the game and threw three scoreless innings. I am very pleased that he had a good outing. He probably won't make the team out of Spring Training, but he has struggled this spring, so it's good to see him put up some zeros there. Walter Silva pitched two scoreless innings, which is great! Silva is on loan to the Padres from a team in Mexico, and we're taking a look at him for as potential starter in the rotation. Thing is, he hurt his ankle and Saturday was his first outing this spring. I am very glad that he pitched well, though! Jae Kuk Ryu and Will Inman each gave up two runs. But otherwise, the pitching did pretty well!
Chase Headley and Nick Hundley each hit a two-run double in this game. Kyle Blanks hit his second homer of the spring, driving in two runs. Very cool. My boy Kevin Kouzmanoff also had two hits. Yay! We seem to hit Matt Cain pretty well. At least lately. When we faced him in a game in September, we killed him, getting like five runs in the bottom of the first. And here again, he gave up five runs to us. Interesting. And so, this half (the better half?) of the Padres won 8-4. Great game!
- Sunday against the Rangers: 10-7 Rangers
Well. Not so great game for my Padres, or should I say, their pitching!!! Let's see…Wade LeBlanc gave up three runs in two innings, Nick Schmidt gave up six runs without getting an out, and Josh Banks gave up a run. I don't remember who Josh Banks is. He might have come up to the majors last year, but I'm not sure…oh wait, I remember him now. He must have been in the minor league camp so far. Anyways, Joe Thatcher threw a scoreless inning, even getting three strikeouts around two hits. He still needs to go way down to the minors.
Chad Huffman hit a homer and got three hits. Pete Ciofrone also hit a homer. Chris Snelling (more about him later) had a double and drove in three runs. Brett Dowdy had two hits.
And so, we lost. But it was a great game on the hitting side. If you don't have good pitching, you don't win. Jerry Coleman is brilliant.
So, my brother played his fourth game of the season on Saturday afternoon. It was a great game! Pirates against the Marlins, and the Pirates came out on top, 7-2. First of all, the Marlins pitching was not very good. My brother got on base for the very first time in his baseball career by getting walked on four really wide pitches. So, when he's in the majors some 12-15 years from now, he can say that he got on base for the first time by getting walked on four pitches. How neat! The reporters will be all over that. Just kidding🙂
Anyways, in the last inning (which happened to be the fifth), the Marlin's pitching was going nuts. Strikeout, walk, walk, hit by pitch, hit by pitch, walk, walk. Yeah, pretty crazy. In fact, their pitching gave up nine walk in five innings! But now, the most exciting part (to our family): my brother got hit-by-pitch! But not just any ordinary HBP. He got it with the bases loaded! Now he can tell the reporters when he makes his major league debut that he got his first ever RBI by getting hit-by-pitch from a pitcher who was not very good! And he didn't get hit badly. I think he got it in the shoulder/upper arm area. It was certainly a little sore the next day, but he was fine. Pretty cool! My mom and I were just sitting there laughing. It was pretty amazing!
Now, the WBC. Mexico is very close to elimination, but with my Gonzalez boys on that team, they have a chance to get back into this thing. I think it was a really great weekend at Petco Park. Some great games were played. And Team USA is still in it for now.
But now I must have a little rant. About Jake Peavy. Yes, Padres ace and face of the organization is pitching with Team USA right now. He's had two outings, and he's given up eight runs in five innings. He's also given up five walks. I am really worried about him. I feel like he's pushing himself way too hard way too early. He only had two outings with the Padres before he left. He's been put into this "playoff" atmosphere, and I know how much pride he has about playing with that USA on his chest. But I really think he is pushing himself too hard. And I'm worried that this will carry over to the season. Last time the WBC came around, Jake gave up three runs in eight innings. That was the year that he got hurt. Can you believe the blow it would be to this Padres team if Jake isn't in top form this year?? Well, we saw it last year, when Jake was out with that elbow problem. That along with the 22-inning game killed our season. We can't lose our ace. Not again. So, I hate to say it, but I really hope Jake can get back into camp soon. He really needs to slow it down. Come back to us, Jake!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to share this picture. I mean, is that creepy or what? In the photo caption on MLB.com, it said that Edgar was sharing a laugh with his brother Adrian. Looks more like Edgar is yelling at his younger brother. Poor Adrian, always getting lectured by his older, shorter brother. Just kidding, the Gonzalez brothers have a great relationship. And though I have no doubt that Edgar really was laughing in this picture, I just had to poke fun at him. It is a pretty funny picture!
The Padres signed two players to minor league deals over the weekend: outfielder Chris Snelling and pitcher Duaner Sanchez. Now, the outfielder move is really questionable in my mind. We don't need another outfielder! Maybe they want him for his bat. But I mean, our outfield is all locked up. We've got Jody Gerut in center, Brian Giles in right, and Chase Headley in left. Plus, we've got Scott Hairston and Will Venable, who are stellar outfielders. I don't think we have a place for Snelling, but he sounds like a good player. As for the new pitcher, hey, we need arms that don't give up ten runs a game. So let's see if he can pitch!
The Best Blog Out There! Get over to this blog and welcome a new die-hard Padres fan to the community. You can never have too many die-hards around here, especially Padres fans! I am very excited to read about another Padres fan's opinions of our team!
Well, the Padres are off today. Tomorrow we will play The Angels Angels in Peoria. GO PADRES!!

I hope Jake doesn't have a season like the WBC! He's usually a great pitcher. Just sucks to have that bad of a Classic.
I'd be worried about Peavy too. I'm all for international competition, but I'll say it again: Play the tournament after the regular season!
So that's what he looks like when he's laughing? I'm not sure I'd want to see him when he's actually mad!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Jake is trying too hard to be the savior of the WBC. Will he do this for the Padres too? let up hope not?
Congrats to your brother! I'm sure he'll have many more great games!
You know you can always tell your brother there is nothing wrong with leaning in on a pitch and taking a plunk for the team! He gets on base and helps a teammate with a possible RBI. Ok just a thought : )
CANUCK, I know! He has never really functioned very well in things like that. I mean, even in the postseason he usually doesn't pitch well.
JANE, that's a really great idea!!
SUE, seriously! It must be pretty scary!!
AARON, you know, I bet that's exactly what he's doing. He probably gets into that mindset when he's put in a playoff situation (think Game 163 against the Rockies). Ahh!!!
JULIA, I hope he gets better as the season goes on!!
TOM, I don't know if they teach that to ten-year-old kids, but hey, if it helps the team, why not?
Thank you for reading my blog. Although even though the Dodgers and Padres are not close buddies, I will definitely read your blogs. You go girl!
Jake's really pressing a bit. But, hey…he loves his country-good 'ol southern boy!
That picture of Edgar creeped me out for 5 seconds. I hope he's not mad at Adrian! Jake, we really, really need you!! I went to the blog that you talked about. It's always nice to see another die-hard (like us!) Padres fan in MLBlogs🙂 Congrats to your brother by the way.
I am definitely with Jane that the WBC should be held after the season…not before. I wish for the best for Jake Peavy but hope that he doesn't get hurt…or that the Padres foolishly trade him away.
That sure was a busy weekend. I had a rental for the last 3 weekends going to Camelback Ranch. It sure will feel funny without going to rent one. I'll be at Dodger Stadium this weeekend! Someone was reminding me about the back to back to back to back. That game was a lot of fun and I had fun with the Padre fans in attendance. I remember a couple of them were saying they had missed the train back to SD.
Jake is a great pitcher and even greater person. He needs to stay healthy for the padres this year.
HEARTRUSS, you gotta keep an eye on your rivals🙂
HAPPY, yes, but I hope that isn't his downfall!
HYUN YOUNG, yeah, that picture is pretty weird!!
SCOTT, it would be a really bad move to trade Jake. Especially now. We've gotta keep him.
EMMA, the Dodgers and the Padres have an interesting rivalry. I can't wait for Opening Week! GO PADRES!!
RON, I agree completely. We need him.

Real ways to reduce poverty
State Sen. John Unger wants to do something about poor children in West Virginia. So, he's proposing what seems logical, to a politician, at least: Unger, D-Berkeley, wants to form a legislative select committee on child poverty.
"I want us to come up with new ideas," Unger stressed.
Well, that would be good. Because we know a lot about poverty. Specifically, we know what the nation has been attempting to do about it for half a century hasn't worked.
Modern anti-poverty campaigns by government began during the 1960s. In 1970, the Census Bureau estimated 12.6 percent of Americans were living in households with incomes below the poverty level.
Care to guess what the number was in 2011? How about 15 percent? And don't blame the current economy for all that. During the past 40 years the rate never has dropped more than about one percentage point under the 1970 level, even during boom times.
Here in West Virginia, we tend to be a couple of points above the national average. In 1980, the earliest year for which the Census Bureau posts state data, the poverty rate here was 15.2 percent. It's 17.5 percent now.
So the hundreds of billions of dollars Americans have spent to fight poverty have treated symptoms, not causes.
What's especially disturbing, as Unger recognizes, is that the poverty rate for children (those under 18 years of age) is substantially higher than for the population as a whole.
In 2011, about 26 percent of Mountain State children lived in households with incomes below the federally designated poverty level, according to the Kids Count organization.
Another outfit, the National Center for Children in Poverty, makes the real problem crystal clear. Look at some of the numbers for West Virginia.
It's going to get worse in the southern coalfields, by the way, as the EPA-driven shift away from coal to produce electricity closes more mines.
We don't really need another commission, committee or campaign. We already know a lot about why some people are poor and others aren't.
And we know there are ways we can help at least some of those children.
For starters, we can insist their parents take responsibility for their offspring. We can tell more moms and dads that if they don't send their children to school, they may go to jail.
We can tell deadbeat parents that if they walk away from their children, we'll track them down and won't listen to any sob stories about how they can't afford to pay child support. If they decide, as some do, to stop working rather than pay child support, we can cut off all public assistance to them.
We can help low-income parents who want to work by not reducing the day-care assistance we provide them. We can do more to help adults who, now regretting they dropped out of school, want to get GEDs.
Instead of finding new ways to tax job creators while insisting government is doing them a favor (remember "You didn't build that"?), we can be partners with them in the only anti-poverty campaign that really works – growing the private-sector economy.
We already know effective ways to reduce poverty in our state and nation. The question Unger should be asking is why we don't use them.

U.S. Rep. Ed Markey will win Tuesday's special U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts and serve the remainder of fellow Democrat John Kerry's term, CNN projects.
Markey defeated GOP businessman and former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez.
The Democrats' majority coalition in the Senate remains 54-46.
Markey will serve Kerry's remaining year-and-a-half term. The seat is up for a full six-year term in 2014.
Kerry stepped down earlier this year to become U.S. secretary of state.
Markey, who has served 20 terms in the U.S. House, was consistently on top of Gomez in public opinion polls, including a 10-point, 52 percent to 42 percent lead in a Suffolk University survey of likely voters released Monday and a 49 percent to 41 percent advantage in a Western New England University poll released Sunday.
The race was marked by its nastiness, with both candidates leveling charges of hyper-partisanship to try and sway voters in the Bay State.
Markey demanded Gomez release more of his income tax returns to shed light on a real estate transaction. Gomez suggested Markey wasn't a valid resident of Massachusetts after three decades in Washington.
Gomez called Markey "pond scum" for airing an ad that pictured him alongside Osama bin Laden. And Markey cast doubt on Gomez's past as a private equity investor since Gomez wouldn't disclose his list of clients.
Republicans had hoped to repeat Scott Brown's surprise victory in the 2010 race to fill the remaining two years of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's term.
Then-state Sen. Brown defeated Martha Coakley in a come-from-behind victory then but lost his re-election bid last November to Democrat Elizabeth Warren.
No Republican upset this time
While the GOP looked to comparisons to the 2010 special election and Gomez aides predicted a similar shocker, much has changed since Brown's upset victory.
President Barack Obama's health care measure was facing key votes in Congress at the time, and Brown's victory gave Republicans a key 41st seat in the Senate, allowing them to filibuster Democratic initiatives such as Obamacare.
The tea party movement, formed less than a year earlier, was on the rise, and played an important role in support of the charismatic Brown. And many national and state Democrats took the seat for granted as it had been in the party's hands for decades.
While there was still a lot at stake in the election (a GOP upset would have taken a bite out of the Democrats' slim 54-46 majority in the Senate), and while partisanship is still just as bitter in the nation's capital, the climate has changed a bit, and the seat is not considered a crucial vote in any upcoming legislation.
But Democrats weren't taking anything for granted this time around.
"Gabriel Gomez was no Scott Brown and Ed Markey was no Martha Coakley from the 2010 election," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
Another difference: While Markey had the advantage Tuesday, three years ago Brown had closed the gap and took a small lead in the final pre-election polls.
"In January of 2010, independents broke to Brown by a 65-30 advantage which propelled him to a 5-point statewide win," said Paleologos, who predicted that Gomez would carry independents but not by enough of a margin to close the gap with Markey.
Less than half of Massachusetts voters said they had a lot of interest in the election, according to the Western New England University Polling Institute. The 42 percent who said they have a lot of interest was lower than the 58 percent who said the same thing in advance of the 2010 gubernatorial election in Massachusetts, and the 82 percent who felt the same way just before last November's presidential election.
Special elections often draw low turnout, and this race did not appear to be an exception. The contest generated little interest with the public even before it was overshadowed by April's Boston Marathon bombings, which killed three people and injured nearly 300.
Election had to compete with sports
Last week, Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said that he was "extremely concerned" about low turnout. According to the secretary of state's office, 13,000 fewer absentee ballots had been requested one week before the June 25 election compared to the 2010 special election. Fifty-four percent of voters cast ballots in that contest, around the same percentage as the 2010 election for governor.
"With many people focused on the (NHL's Boston) Bruins playing in the Stanley Cup final, the (Whitey) Bulger trial, and the end of the school year, the special election has a lot of competition for attention," Galvin told reporters.
The biggest names in the Democratic Party all traveled to Massachusetts to lend Markey a hand. In the past three weeks, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton and first lady Michelle Obama all campaigned with Markey.
Gomez and Markey sniped at each other in television ads and in three debates, which featured pointed remarks from both candidates. In the final showdown, a tense moment arose when Gomez challenged Markey on term limits -- a policy that would have prevented the Democrat from remaining in Washington.
Markey countered by asking his Republican rival whether he'd posed the same question to longtime GOP senators like Mitch McConnell and John McCain.
Gomez said he had. Markey, without explicitly accusing Gomez of lying, expressed deep skepticism. The exchange got to the heart of the Republican candidate's central takedown of Markey -- that the longtime Democratic congressman's roots in Washington disqualify him as a voice for Bay State voters.
"Who are the people going to trust to put people in front of party and politics?" Gomez asked at the start of the debate.
Markey seemed to bristle at the suggestion he's been outside of Massachusetts too long, even going as far as reciting his home address in Malden where he said he's lived for more than six decades.
"The question isn't where you're coming from, it's where you're going," Markey said before launching into his own main takedown of his rival. "Mr. Gomez, he's backing these tired old Republican ideas...That's a reflection of who he's going to be with down in the United States Senate."
The winner of Tuesday's election succeeds William "Mo" Cowan. Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick appointed his former chief of staff to serve as interim senator after Kerry stepped down.

Welcome to the Bollywood Actresses Blog - Picturesnmorepictures.com
Sexy hot Bollywood lasses! How often have they taken our breath away on the celluloid. The blog is a tribute to all those lovely ladies, who go to lengths for our viewing pleasure. Sometime they make us laugh, sometimes they make us cry. At time they enthrall us with an outstanding performance and at other times they disappoint us. And a lot of times they seduce us, get wet in sheer chiffon sarees and nothing else in pouring rain or biting cold. They shed inhibitions, and their clothes before you can say nude. They don bikinis, drop their pallus, show their bursting cleavage, even boobs and nipples on some rare occasions and do million other things which you would think unthinkable in real life in front of an audience. But these ladies go to break a lot of barriers every time the camera starts rolling and director barks Action. Just to entertain us. Just that we love them. Limelight moths, live for and die by the light. But the very idea is to make the most while it lasts. This is my tribute to these fantastic, beautiful, hot and seriously sexy women. Some personal favorites in the lot are Manisha Koirala, Mamta Kulkarni, Dimple Kapadia, Mandakini, Kimi Katkar, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Sonam, Simi Garewal, Moon Moon Sen, Jaya Prada, Nagma, Rambha, Ramya, Depshikha, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Sadhika Randhawa, Barbara Mori, Pamela Anderson, Lucy Pinder, Eva Mendes, Kim Kardashian, Anna Kournikova, Megan Fox (a few overseas name), Diya Mirza, Riya Sen, Mahima Chaudhry, Reena Roy, Priety Zinta, Celina Jaitley, Claudia, Raveena Tandon, Janki Shah, Bipasha Basu, Amrita Arora, Kareena Kapoor, Karishma Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Rimi Sen, Tabu, Ayesha Jhulka, Zeenat Aman, Pratibha Sinha, Sakshi Sivanand, Preeti Jhangiani, Koena Mitra, Urmila Matondkar, Vidya Balan, Rani Mukherjee, Ayesha Takia, Shriya Saran, Amisha Patel, Mumtaz, Helen Brodie, Lisa Ray, Kunika, Bindu, Emran Hashmi kisses with Geeta Basra, Kashmera Shah, Rakhi Sawant, Sameera Reddy, Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, Anoushka Sharma, Mallika Sherawat, Kiran Rathore, Simran, Sana khan (of they sexy Amul Macho ad) Jacqueline Fernandez, Sophie Choudhry and so many many more. They do lots of stuffs to titillate you such as drop the pallu of their saree, wear sexy revealing, cleavage exposing, bra-busting blouse, bra, panties, bikini, show their thighs, cleavage, armpits, bare back, don swimsuits kiss some lucky dudes in the mouth, lips., and let some lucky dudes, kiss them on lips, navel, all over the boobs, press their boobs, get under the sheets in a bed, bathtubs, under the shower, or a waterfall. There are hand bras of Mamta Kulkarni (hand-bra is covering boobs with hands, while being topless), sex with Dimple in the haystack, Dimple revealing her boobs, Kimi Katkar in a glorious boobs and nipple show wearing a wet white dress and no bra underneath, a la-Mandakini from Ram Teri. They take their tops off and go topless, just like that!! They wear all sorts of revealing costumes which expose their hot bodies in every conceivable angle. Also watch out for the latka-jhatka, boob press, naughty acts with sexy string cholis, bare navel from the world of Bhojpuri songs. Some famous names such as Nagma, Rambha, Shweta Tiwari and others have done quite a good amount of work in these movies. There is one particular post on nude topless Simi Garewal from an old flick called Siddharth. Simi goes topless in front of Shashi Kapoor and an entire bunch of film crew. The shots are stunning and tells us the extent to which our filmstars will go to keep us hooked. She is absolutely gorgeous and camera has shot Simi in her naked avtaar quite aesthetically.
The blog also contains an assortment of various wardrobe malfunctions our leading ladies have gotten into. There are several naughty, funny Oops moments. There is this funny episode of Yana Gupta's missing panties, Preeti Jhangiani's missing panties, Deepika Padukone's nipple slip, Manisha Koirala's nipple slip, Aishwarya Rai's boob peeking out underneath her saree, Rageshwari's nipple slip and various other heroines giving a peek of their panties while crossing legs in a short dress. There are posts with Mandakini in white sarees. I have dedicated three posts to her bod dare bare act in Ram Teri Ganga Maili. Mandakini showed us the real color of her nipples. Her director defended in front of a adamant censor that where can a tribal girl bring a bra in that age to hide her assets. And we got to see a beautiful Anglo-Indian girl rechristened as Mandakini, bathing in the buff under the Mandakini (another name of Ganga).

Met another angel on our travels. Oh, not the dressed in white, halo twirling, wings unfurled kind of angel…just a treasure of a guy who we could have sat and talked with for endless hours.
Actually the first angel directed us to the him.
First, you must know this about our never-ending roadtrip lifestyle. We travel in a whole different way than most…we don't make plans but instead, we just go without any worry about where we will find a place to park our camper for the night.
And, we do our best to stay away from the huge RV parks where it looks and feels more like the suburbs of a big city with all the humongous Class A's side by side…with all the bells and whistles of extravagance shining brightly. (We're living in a Big Foot pickup camper…so when we pull into one of those parks, we can almost hear the Class A residents saying, "there goes the neighborhood!")
So, we wing it on our trips and it always happens this way – someone will show up to give us the information we need.
It happened in Sedona, where there are hundreds of tourists crowding the streets and sidewalks. We walked into the Peace Store – a crystal shop. It was the only store we visited in Sedona, not to buy crystals, but because we saw their sign in the window that said "vortex maps." What a delightful store to enter… it was aptly named for you could feel the peaceful energy as soon as you stepped over the threshold.
We browsed and marveled at the vast selection of beautiful crystals and chatted with the owner about the Sedona vortexes. And then, before we left with our vortex map in hand, we asked if she knew of any place we could park our camper for the night.
She told us to go find the Mobilodge where she thought the guy had hookups for RVs. When she told us he was located right on Oak Creek, we knew we had found our home in Sedona. Always, always, ALWAYS camp by a creek, the river, the ocean whenever possible. It's our #1 rule!
Off we went to find the Mobilodge by the creek, expecting to find a small hotel, but instead found a trailer park…where there was an eclectic mix of trailers, campers and even Class A's all tossed together like a scrumptious salad. Within a couple of minutes we were greeted and guided to a spot for the night…no worries about getting all the paperwork done, we'll just take care of it in the morning.
Across the way from us, the smell of a campfire and the laughter and conversation of friends gathered there drifted our way. It had been months since we breathed in that aroma back in Missouri. The recent rain had filled the creek and as we settled in for the night, we were lulled to sleep by the sound of its rushing water. We were home.
The next morning we went to the office to pay for our night before taking off to hike the red rocks of Sedona. That's when we had the pleasure and delight of meeting Don Campbell, the owner of the Mobilodge. He and Bruce discovered they were both Coast Guard veterans and then learned they had grown up in the same stomping grounds in Missouri. Small world, isn't it?
Don has been in business here for 30 years. The lines on his face tell the story of a rewarding, but challenging life of service to provide a haven, a safety net, a home for the weary, the worn, the wayfaring travelers like us. He has found an energetic and reliable assistant in Maddie who definitely adds more life to the park and eases the burden of business details and organization.
For some, the notion of trailer parks evokes a twisted perception of the environment…we found just the opposite. Every person we met was genuinely friendly and happy.
We felt right at home. Maybe it was because the setting was so peaceful…a beautiful creek surrounded by mighty sycamores. No, I believe it is Don that makes the difference. He provides a place for people to live…young and old, seasonal and stationary, families and retired folks…from all walks of life, from all parts of the country.
We said when we pulled up stakes and left the campground in Missouri we knew that we would miss most of all the evening campfires at the 180 (the mile marker on the river.) There we gathered with the locals to relax and talk and laugh as we watched the sunset. When we left, we said that we would find the 180s wherever we went. We found the 180 at the Mobilodge with Don.
P.S. We're mobile - we're free to go whever we choose and stay for days and days if we choose because we take our "office" with us. Everywhere we go, we meet people who have the same dream of freedom. We are helping people WAKE UP to the reality that life is too short to wait for "Someday" ...

LFA: Get It Right-Common Sense on Common Core
Submitted by admin on Tue, 04/08/2014 - 12:04
Earlier today, the Learning First Alliance -- the national coalition of major k-12 public education stakeholder organizations-- issued this statement in support of providing time and resources for Common Core State Standards (CCSS) implementation before assessing progress with high stakes testing was released and the new web landing page on the LFA web site launched. A similar statement was originally released last May, however, given the pushback against the standards in many states and the poor implementation in many places, LFA member organizations wanted to reiterate the importance of implementing the standards correctly in order to achieve student success. To that end, LFA has launch a new site at the following link:
Additionally, Education Week picked up the release and has featured our message at the link below:

Radar by Sukezane
Tomoki Sukezane has worked as a menswear stylist in Japan for several years, becoming quite a force within the country's cutting-edge fashion world. The stylist and designer gets his inspiration from many sources, like movies, fine arts and everyday life. For Sukezane, it all links to styling.
G-Star and Sukezane have joined forces to share their passion for denim and craftsmanship in a unique denim design. In September 2012, visitors to G-Star stores can find the limited edition Radar pant, customized by the menswear specialist. For this collaboration, Sukezane created a personal, modern interpretation of the Radar. To start, he modified the fit of the Radar into a unisex design with a hyper-tapered leg, and created a special cropped length variation for the Japanese market.
Then, he chose a new denim from G-Star, the 13 oz. Red Listing Berryl denim. Red Listing denim is woven from a single thread on a vintage shuttle loom to produce a heavy, tightly woven denim. Dyed in red cast indigo, the Red Listing is textured with an irregular warp slub and visible white weft that that wears beautifully over time. The Red Listing is identifiable by its red thread at the cuff when worn with a turn-up.
Finally, Sukezane's variation on the Radar uses detailed embroidery on the pocket detail, and also to replace the leather patch, where G-Star's logo combines with his own. Fortunately you don't have to travel to Japan to find a pair. The G-Star RAW and Sukezane Limited Edition Radar will be available in Paris (Gallery Lafayette) and London (Selfridges), and in the online G-Star shop.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYSteve Farr really got his big break in 1988, the year of this card. An aging Dan Quisenberry, arguably the best closer in Royals history, was essentially pushed out by Farr. And Farr thrived in the role with a 5-4 record, 2.50 ERA and 20 saves.

In this article, we will walk through the various security settings that we can set up in the Web Application framework, going into detail on how you can set up FORM-based authentication.
All of the code from this article should work with any Web container that supports the Servlet 2.2 API and above. This article assumes that you have knowledge of Web applications, servlets, and JSP's.
We will walk through the following items:
To secure a resource we will:
First of all, we want to protect some resource in our Web container. We restrict an area of our site based on a URL pattern. So, let's restrict access to any URL that starts with
All of our configuration will take place in a file named
web.xml that lives in the magical directory
WEB-INF. This conforms to the Web Application standard defined by Sun (and company). In your
web.xml file you will tell the Web container that you want to restrict an area based on the URL pattern, which will look like:
<description>Security constraint /secure</description>
The interesting tags here are:
<url-pattern>: If a client accesses a URL that matches this pattern (in this case, accessing any resource under
/secure), the container will make sure the user is authenticated before granting access to the resource
<http-method>: Here we declare what HTTP methods the security constraint will apply to. If we only had "GET" defined, then a POST request will not have to go through the security conditions. NOTE: If you do not specify a
<http-method> then the security constraint will apply to all HTTP methods.
Now we have defined the area that we are securing, and what HTTP methods we will allow. We still need to tell the container who has access to this given resource. To do this we set up abstract security "roles" for our entire Web application, and list the roles that have access to each
<security-constraint>. In our example we will only let users in the "admin" role have access to
/secure (the SecurePages resource).
After the
<web-resource-collection> we place an
<auth-constraint> tag that tells the container "only the admin role has access to this area." For example,
<description>only let the admin users login</description>
Later on in
web.xml we define all of the security roles. Our example only has one role (admin), but if you imagine a real-world example where you have
/managers and
/peons, each with their own roles, then you would configure the "manager" and "peon" roles, but the
<auth-constraint> for each resource will only list one role (e.g. under the
<security-constraint> that has the pattern
/managers/*, the
<role-name> would be "manager").
Here is the simple
<security-role> tag showing our only role (admin):
<description>The Only Secure Role</description>
So, we have listed all of our security roles, told the server that anyone in that one role is allowed access to a resource under
/secure, but how do we set up the users that are in the given role? A "role" is just this abstract thing, but we need to tie it to the real security system. This is where we move away from the standards, and the particular server takes over.
If we are working with BEA WebLogic Server, we tie to the real users via the file
WEB-INF\weblogic.xml. That file would have the following xml:
We tie to the role name
admin, and give the usernames, or groups that are part of that role. In this case, I have only granted access to
/secure to the user "system."
To put it all together, so far we have set up the security roles for our Web application, named all of the users and groups that are part of that role, and set up a security condition: when a browser accesses
/secure, only the users in the admin role will get through!
Although we have defined the users that are allowed access to a resource, we need to tell the container how we want to authenticate the users. There are four authentication methods to choose from:
|Authentication Method
Use HTTP basic authentication. If we used this setting then the good ole pop up window will show trying to access
It is sometimes nice to be able to build your authentication into your Web pages. With FORM-based authentication we can do this! We will focus on this mechanism in the next section.
We can use client digital certificates to authenticate against.
Use HTTP digest authentication (advanced form of
This is a nice feature, being able to choose the authentication mechanism at deploy-time. Let's check out form based authentication, and walk through an example of setting it up.
|Related Reading:
Java Security, 2nd Edition
We will go through the simple steps required in setting up the standards-based FORM-based authentication.
web.xml to use FORM-based authentication
Let's tell the container to use FORM-based authentication in our
web.xml file.
First, we specify "FORM" as the auth-method (instead of BASIC, DIGEST, or CLIENT-CERT), and then we tell the system that the Web page
LoginForm.html has the <FORM> which will authenticate a user. If we try to access a page under
/secure we will first have to fill out the form in
LoginForm.html and authenticate. If our authentication fails (we do not log in correctly as the system user), then we will be sent to
Now we build out login form. We have to follow a couple of conventions that are defined in the Servlet API specification:
<form>'s action field must be
j_username, and
j_password that hold the username and password to authenticate with
So, our
LoginForm.html will simply look like:
<form method="POST" action="j_security_check">
Username: <input type="text" name="j_username">

Password: <input type="password" name="j_password">

<input type="submit" value="Login">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
Let's say a browser tries to access something under
/secure in our deployed Web application. The container will do the following:
LoginError.html is sent back to the browser.
LoginError.html will.
And that is it! Using FORM-based authentication is easy. You configure the
web.xml to point to the correct login form and error page, and then make sure that the form follows the conventions of using
j_username, and
Lastly, we can declaratively control the level of security in the transport mechanism using the following tag in
<description>SSL not required</description>
There are three possible values for the
No encryption is required (http is fine)
The data must be encrypted, so that other parties can not observe the contents (e.g. enforce SSL)
The data must be transported so that the data cannot be changed in transit. Most servers use SSL for this value too, although in theory you could use some hashing algorithm, as encryption is not required
We have shown that you can configure many security options for your Web-based applications, adding support for a standard way to do FORM-based authentication that the Web container takes care of for you. Please download the sample Web application and test it out by trying to access
/logintest/secure/ (assuming that you deploy the Web application as "

LA CROSSE, Wis. -- The Rotary Lights have fast become one of the best holiday traditions in La Crosse. And by far the most popular of all the lights - are the animated displays.
The Fire breathing dragon. The tree climbing squirrels. And new this year, the bow tying clown. But to get to here, you have to start here. "I'm gonna draw a square 9 ft. high by 8 ft. wide."
When we first caught up with La Crescent native Leo Chaput back in October, he was at the beginning stages of this years animation creation inspired by his grandson. "Last summer the circus came to town and they gave a picture of a clown to color and he took first place. I had it on the fridge at home and I thought, 'you know - that would look good in the park!' In the picture the clown is holding his bow tie. And I thought - if we can make him stretch the bow ties and it snaps out of his fingers, that would be a fun thing."
Leo is the man behind nearly all of the Rotary Light's Animated displays - but it sort of happened by accident. "I was at a rotary meeting and the president was looking for two volunteers to join the rotary lights board of directors. Well what does that involve? And he said about two meetings a year. I jumped up and said, 'I'll do it!'"
But at his first meeting, the committee addressed a concern that the parks original dragon display was falling apart and needed to be replaced. Leo, a retired welder and boilermaker offered to help. "So I told them, I can draw one on the floor here and if you like what you see - I can make it happen."
So, much like the clown he's working on here, Leo sketched his idea on the floor. "A bunch of board members said, 'It's wonderful, we love it!' And I thought, 'Oh my God.'"
What had he gotten himself into?
But three weeks later, after hours and hours of hard work, it turned out, " It was a fun project and I thought maybe next year I can do something else."
So every year since then, on October 15th, he goes from retired, to a 9-5 working volunteer. "Sometimes I'll go home at 4:00 and eat and come back at 6:00 and stay until 10:00. And I do that until November 25th. 5 days a week. I don't work on the weekends. I'm retired!"
But Leo wants to make it clear, the animated displays and everything else about the rotary lights are a team effort. When he's done with a project on his end, the lighting crew steps in to program the sequence. Then another crew helps carry it over and set it up in the park. "It's just a community helping a community. And I enjoy what I'm doing too. Anytime you're helping someone it's kind of a nice feeling. And that's what it boils down to. I'm proud of the rotary lights. If kids can go into the park and go, 'Ah!!!' Then I succeeded."

I think DD is weaning. This is great from some standpoints because I really did want her to self-wean. Also, we are thinking about having another lo soon and I was not sure I wanted to tandem. But, I am also VERY sad right now too. DD had been nursing morning, lunch, and before bed. A few weeks ago she started skipping the lunch time session. It has been over a week now since she nursed at lunch. Well, then she started skipping some of the evening sessions. Last night she did not nurse and then for the first time she skipped her morning nursing time too! So, she has not nursed in over 24 hours. I feel like :cry I actually still offer but she refuses which makes it even more sad.
So, after they start skipping sessions like this does anyone know how long before they stop nursing altogether. I would like to think this is just a phase but I don't think so.
Thanks everyone!

With six runs in the first three innings, Refugio Lady Cats left no doubt about the eventual outcome. An RBI single by Michelle Rosas and a two-run error in the first inning and a sacrifice fly by Cecilia Bauer during the second inning fueled Refugio Lady Cats' offense early.
Morgan Klaevemann had two extra-base hits for Refugio Lady Cats. She tripled in the first inning and doubled in the second inning. Kiasha Brown had a triple, one RBI, and two doubles. Jackie Gonzalez had the game winning hit to right field that ended the game.
Bauer brought the heat against Bloomington during her outing. Bloomington managed just three hits off of Bauer, who allowed one earned run, walked one and struck out five during her five innings of work.
Refugio will face Cotulla in Bi-District play in Refugio at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, April 29. It will be a one game series.
