Hi, my dtr is 8 days old now. I messed up at first by switching between bf and formula. i didn't have the energy after giving birth to keep have her room in the first 2 nights.so i told the nurses to give her formula. i did bf the first night though. she ate for 10 min. i've never been able to get her to eat for more than 10 min. at a time. I think she got some nipple confusion. it's been a day and a half since her last bottle and she's doing much better latching on.
Anywayz, my problem is she seems to only want to eat for 5 minutes. So i spend over an hour trying to waker her up and get her to feed again(i get her awake but she falls asleep as soon as i get her on the breast)an hour later she'll eat for another 5 minutes, but that's it. feedings took 1 & a half hours just to get in 10 minutes.
So last night after reading some material(it said that some babies only eat 5 minutes), I made a decision that if she'll only go 5 min, then i'll attempt for a bit to get her to feed some more, but then i'll just go back in 1 to 2 hours and feed another 5 minutes. and not spend 1 hour being frustrated sleepy & anxious.
Every since then, i've been calm. and she seems to wake up on her own in 1-2 hours ready to eat. do you'll feel she's ok only eating 5 min at a time. she definetly gets over 6 wet diapers a day, and over 5 poopy diapers a day. and seems satisfied after eating. she weiged 6 lbs 3 oz at birth and only lost 2oz's in the hosp. i'm just wondering if anyone else experienced this. also i was induced at 38 weeks b/c of mildy high blood pressure.
i know i have plenty of milk, b/c i can get it to drip out even before she eats.
sorry so long =) any input is helpful

Schoeppner gets life sentence in girlfriend's murder
CALDWELL, Ohio – Unable to wipe away tears with his tightly bound hands, the man who murdered a Caldwell woman hung his head and wept quietly Wednesday in the Noble County Common Pleas Courtroom where he was about to be sentenced.
Larry A. Schoeppner, 34, of 231 N. Main St., Belle Valley, received a life sentence, with the possibility of parole after 28 years, for the Sept. 22 shooting death of 46-year-old Tracy L. Kay, his estranged ex-girlfriend.
The sentence, said Schoeppner, will be a secondary punishment to his guilt.
"The true punishment will always be in my heart. I hope after I get sent away you all get some closure," he said as he sobbed his way through a written apology to Kay's family.
In his apology Schoeppner did not give a reason for his actions, something Kay's mother, Sharon Lowe, 64, of Akron, said she is still trying to understand.
"We have questions that will never be answered because this coward refuses to let us know why," said Lowe as she addressed Schoeppner and the court.
Schoeppner and Kay had once been romantically involved, but Kay had ended the relationship a year before the murder.
Still, said Lowe, Schoeppner would not leave Kay alone.
"She would come to our house to visit and she would have a good 300 text messages from him," she said.
Lowe described Kay as a soft-spoken, gentle, caring woman who has now been taken from her six grandchildren.
"I hope you suffer every day of your life. At least you still have one. I hope the horror you caused shadows you for the rest of your life," she told Schoeppner.
Tasha Kay, 29, who heard the three gunshots ring out at her mother's apartment that night, told Schoeppner she forgave him.
"There are so many things I could say, but the only thing I do have to say is I forgive you. I forgive you because I will not let the pain of what you did ruin our lives," she said.
Following the sentencing, Tasha said that being able to talk to her mother on the phone leading up to the murder helped her get the closure denied to some of the other family members.
"I got to talk to my mother that night. I got to say I love you, to say my last goodbye," she said.
It was Tasha who called the authorities that night after her mother expressed concern that Schoeppner might be waiting at her apartment to harm her. Tasha arrived at her mother's apartment just as police and sheriff's deputies did, in time to hear three gunshots ring out inside and to then hear Schoeppner ask Tracy if she was OK.
"I know he loved my mother, probably too much. He was obsessed with her," said Tasha.
Schoeppner had been threatening her mother, and Tracy had reported those threats a month before her murder, she said.
Schoeppner was indicted in October for aggravated burglary and two counts of aggravated murder charged two different ways, said Noble County Prosecutor Kelly Riddle.
Schoeppner pleaded guilty on Feb. 8 to the second charge of aggravated murder with a gun specification, the charge that specified Schoeppner had committed the crime with calculation and design, said Riddle.
Noble County Common Pleas Court Judge John W. Nau pointed out that Schoeppner has previously served time in prison for a felony offense. Schoeppner also has a pattern of drug or alcohol abuse related to the offense that he refuses to acknowledge or seek counsel for, said Nau.
Nau sentenced Schoeppner to serve a minimum of 25 years on the aggravated murder charge and a consecutive three years for the gun specification.
Lowe said she wasn't satisfied with the sentence.
"I'm not, but at least we didn't have to go through a trial which I don't think I could have handled," she said.

Civilian Military Furloughs Will Be Delayed
There's some good news to report for civilian workers at Fort Drum and other military installations.
The Department of Defense has decided to delay giving out furlough notices for approximately two weeks.
"This delay will allow the department to carefully analyze the impact of pending continuing resolution legislation on the department's resources," said Pentagon Press Secretary George Little in a prepared statement. "We have not made any decisions on whether or not the total number of planned furlough days for fiscal 2013 will change as a result of this delay."
The Pentagon said it believes the delay is a responsible step to take in order to assure civilian employees that it does not take lightly the prospect of furloughs and the resulting decrease in employee pay.

This week's opener is targeted to our Superintendent readership.
Although it's just begun to feel like summer, I don't think it's too early to share with you the theme for our annual Fall Superintendent Conference, scheduled for the September 1 and 2, 2005. It promises to generate some great discussion.
The theme for this year's conference will be "Creating a Legacy through Leadership." As superintendents practicing education leadership each day, we hope that the decisions we make while in office will lead to permanent and positive changes in the operation of our schools. Our conference will focus on how we can work towards that goal.
To put this theme in a historical context, we can look to one of our State's most famous sons, Abraham Lincoln, who gives us a clear illustration of how one can create a legacy through strong leadership. It's fitting, therefore, that as part of this year's conference, we have scheduled an event at the newly built Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
Although a theme was chosen, planning for the conference continues; if you have not already, I would encourage you to send me your ideas for small group sessions and workshops. We want the conference to be as responsive as possible to the interests and needs of those in attendance.
Look for a "save the date" reminder for the conference in the coming weeks.
Have a great week. I know this is the last week of school for many of our districts around the state so I know it will be a L-O-N-G one. Hang in there!

Openings available for Standards Aligned Classroom Initiative teams
The Standards Aligned Classroom Initiative (SAC) has been one of the most successful statewide professional development programs in the state's history. It helps improve classroom level instruction, assessment and motivation to learn. More than three years of research conducted by outside evaluators confirms the positive impact the program has had in the classroom. The initiative has been funded by the State Board of Education and implemented through the Regional Offices of Education and Intermediate Service centers.
We are very happy to announce that this summer twenty (20) SAC teams that will include Special Education teachers and administrators will be trained and funded for next year. SAC Teams with Special Education teachers and administrators are being recruited now on a first-come, first-served basis. These SAC Learning Teams will attend a two-day training in early August and the members must agree to meet twice a month during the school year. Each SAC Learning Team must include one school-level administrator. Teams will be assigned an ROE/ISC coach who will provide support and resources for the team during the year.
Further information about the SAC initiative can be found at www.sacsuccess.org. If you are interested in forming a Learning Team and participating in this summer's SAC training with Special Education teachers and administrators, please emailPenny Murphy, SAC Manager, email@example.com.
ISBE has become aware of a few situations where an applicant's physical condition prohibits them from providing a fingerprint from which a background check can be initiated. Each situation will be unique and should be treated in a case-by-case-manner. Applicants should not be denied employment solely on the basis of their physical inability to be fingerprinted. Please contact Jessica Jacobson in the ISBE Legal Department in Chicago at 312-814-2236 for further guidance if this issue arises in your district.
Reading Improvement Block Grant update
We are pleased to announce that the Reading Improvement Block Grant application will be available on the eGMS beginning in June. The application will be filled out online and submitted electronically. Districts will have 30 days from the time it is posted to submit the application. Projected allocations of funds for FY06 are similar to FY05. The amount proposed by the governor in his FY06 budget is the same as for FY05, however, the legislature has yet to approve the budget. The allocations are also based on the prior year's best three months average daily attendance and economically disadvantaged numbers in the district.
The performance report form for FY05 will also be available soon. This will be an interactive form available on the ISBE website which will need to be completed, printed, signed by the district superintendent and sent by mail to ISBE.
Any questions or concerns regarding the Reading Improvement Block Grant should be addressed to Laurie Lee at 217-557-7323 or email@example.com.
U.S. Department of Education "American Stars of Teaching"
Last fall 56 teachers were recognized as American Stars of Teaching in schools as diverse as Loma Vista Middle School in Riverside, California and Mesa Elementary in Shiprock, New Mexico. American Stars are people such as Carol Stewart from the Louisiana School for the Deaf, Angie Miller (Junction City, Kansas) who raised math achievement of middle schoolers and chemistry teacher-extraordinaire Doug Worthley of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
The U.S. Department of Education plans to again honor classroom teachers and the teaching profession by recognizing the 2005 American Stars in Teaching. The Department is seeking information about teachers who are improving student achievement, using innovative strategies and making a difference in the lives of their students. Teachers across all grade levels and disciplines will be honored next fall. One teacher or team from each state will be recognized for the outstanding job he or she is doing in the classroom.
To assist us in this effort, please nominate a teacher who you believe is an American Star in Teaching. Nomination forms are available at www.ed.gov/teacherinitiative. The February 1, 2005 Achiever (http://www.ed.gov/news/newsletters/achiever/2005/020105.pdf) highlighted four of last year's American Stars in Teaching. We appreciate your assistance in ensuring that educators throughout the country receive well-deserved recognition.
Management has released an External Vacancy List (05-12), which can be accessed through the following link: http://www.isbe.net/hr/pdf/VL05-12.pdf

A few weeks ago, in Part 2 of The Story of My Jabezes, I mentioned that Jabez Burns, the Coffee Roaster, had also invented an Addometer. At the time, I spent quite a bit of effort trying to run down something substantial about Burns' number adding device, but to no avail. Today, I was going over some previously mined information and the following article from the online History of Computers,Hardware, Software, and the Internet showed up on an internet search: Jabez Burns Addometer

After a season which was mostly lost to an injured elbow, David Herndon will head north. He has been claimed by the Toronto Blue Jays off waivers.
Herndon, 27, pitched in just five games in 2012 with the Phillies before suffering a flexor pronator strain in his pitching elbow, which led to Tommy John surgery in June. In 97 career appearances in the big leagues, Herndon is 2-8 with a 3.95 ERA.
It looked like Herndon was finally beginning to figure it out before the elbow injury derailed him for good this past season. The heavy sinker the Phillies saw in spring training prior to the 2010 season never fully materialized.
0 Comments
No big loss. I doubt he'd have made the team, especially if Ruben wants a veteran 8th inning guy.
I hope he finds a home and does well in Toronto.
I saw yesterday where Jose Vaverde said he untapped a mechanical flaw. Last time I remember a pitcher saying that was Chad Qualls. Time before that was David Herndon. Herndon actually pitched pretty well after some blase action after saying thatr. This just in…Qualls didn't. But Herndon was a guy who had his moments, and that was about it. Good mileage for a mop up guy acquired via the Rule 5 draft. Good riddance? Not quite that bad, but this is ESSENTIALLY an addition by subtraction. Alittle harsh, since you can't have a staff of 11 all-stars, but it's not hard to flip into life moves on mode with the news.
Now what may be more unfortunate, and don't lose focus on that operative may word is the news that Ozzie Guillen is gone. I haven't read of any possible successors, but I'm sure Bobby Valentine will be thrown around, but more importantly, strictly a hunch, but I won't be at all surprised if they seek to speak to Ryne Sandberg. Considering what a joke that franchise has been, he'd offer some excellent instant credibility, even if it is on managerial potential. If they call, he's got to talk.
Uh, what the hell? Why are they putting Herndon through waivers now? To be honest, I really liked Herndon. Totally disagree with San Fransisco Ken above me here.
From May 1 2011 through the end of August of the 2011 season:
34 IP, 30 H, 28 SO, 3 BB(!), 1.59 ERA, Opponent line: .236/.260/.354
I know those are selective dates which exclude most of the damage, but I think it's illustrative of the kind of stuff he could have when he was on. Further, a lot of the damage to his line was done during that super fluky September series in Flordia, when he gave up three bombs to the Marlins on Sept 3, and then came back and was forced to pitch the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th innings the next day because Chuckles had run out of pitchers available. He ended up throwing nearly 70 pitches, walked 7 guys and walked another 7 in his final 7 innings of the season after walking a total of 3 all summer.
I don't think it would be totally out of line to suggest that he was severely mishandled there, and his subsequent arm troubles perhaps were a result.
Either way, I thought he had a good sinker and was a very good option out of the pen; I letting him go for nothing here is an ugly mistake.
I also think that Herndon was not nearly as bad as some fans made him out to be.
The problem now, though, is he'll most likely miss the first part of the season after TJ surgery, and the Phils have other options. As an injured and not great pitcher he wouldn't have brought anything back in trade, anyway.
Interesting thoughts about misuse. I'm not sure myself, because he had an entire offseason to rest before his elbow actually went. That said, injuries can sometimes be delayed reactions to stress. Even had an injury not occured, using Herndon so much in two days was definitely a bad move; the most egregious bad move Manuel has ever made.
Let me preface this by saying I have no idea what the inside of Herndon's elbow looked like, and maybe the Phils had imaging studies that said he was fine, so this is all speculation.
But, if he did have a partial tear of his UCL in early September, 6-7 months of rest won't hear a torn ligament. Ligaments are avascular and heal extremely slowly, if at all (depending upon the severity of the tear), on their own.
None of us have that information, so anything is speculation. I would agree that any partial tear would not heal in an off season, but somehow I doubt that he'd have been allowed to pitch with one. Most teams conduct pretty extensive physicals on players at the beginning of spring training, or so I've read, and it would be unusual for a tear not to show up.
Still, I never could figure out why he was used for four innings after pitching the night before. I thought it was a stupid thing to do at the time, and I still think it was stupid. If the 'pen is short handed, you sacrifice the game with a middle infielder or fourth outfielder on the mound, you don't risk sacrificing a person's arm.
i'm with you george. i don't think he was that bad. he had some good stretches and some bad. he lacked consistancy. and on the misuse part of your comment i agree, but not just your point on herndon, but the whole pen was mishandled in my eyes. a lot of times he would leave a pitcher in too long or he would yank a young pitcher or a guy like bastardo out when they had a chance to gain confidence.
Tha strikes me as a well articulated credible view. But I can't help but sense that perhaps a change of scenery is what increases the chance to more realistic that his productivity becomes consistently good. Not that he was unhappy here, at least from quotes I recall from him that were very positive. Maybe he WAS mishandled. I know there were times when I wondered why Charlie seemed so remiss in using him in gotta trust him situations. But I'm still more I'll believe it when I see it than disappointed he's gone.
Hmmm at first i didnt like Herndon. Then i thought he was ok'ish as Jay said the Phils have many potential arms to fill the role. Plus they need room to select the next Mini-Mart from rule 5 draft.
•The Phillies announced that they have outrighted infielder Michael Martinez to Triple-A. Martinez, 30, saw time at shortstop, second base, third base, and every outfield position in parts of two big league seasons with the club. In 133 games during that stretch, Martinez posted a slash line of .188/.241/.272.
Woooooo Hooooooo! Finally
Must be some names that have to be added to the 40 man roster or they'll be eligable for the rule 5 draft? I didn't like herndon at first, but thought he was ok as a long/disaster reliever. Bye bye Michael Maritinez!
What are we going to do now with all the openings (3b, lf, cf), plus he's a switch nonhitter. Please Rube say it isn't so.
Amaro may look in house for filling 3b, lf and cf. He may want to give Frandsen a long look at 3b. He didn't hurt the team defensively there after he was called up from the minors. Plus he did a great imitation of Derek Jeter as a hitter (smile).
CF is for Mayberry Jr to lose. He played well defensively and time is on his side to improve as a hitter. He showed signs of coming around offensively in the last two months of the season. Mayberry is not going anywhere since he has ability to play other positions in Of and 1b. That's is added value a manager can't ignore.
Finally, leftfield is an opening for Darin Ruff and other outfielders (including Wiggington) on the roster. That position could become a platoon situation as well.
Just a gut feeling here that toward the end of the free agency period if Victorino is still available and willing to take a reasonable offer from the Phillies, he may rejoin the team and play CF again where he won several gold gloves.
One side note: Congratulations to Hunter Pence. He finally made it to the World Series. I'll bet he is grateful to the Phillies for senting him to Frisco Giants. 🙂
Why would Rube accumulate salary flexibility by trading Pence if he didn't at least plan to acquire one free agent OF after the season? I would be willing to bet that the Phillies acquire a major upgrade at at least one of those three positions (3B, LF or CF). CF should not be Mayberry, Jr.'s to lose following a year in which he pretty much confirmed that he is nothing more than a platoon hitter (career .680 OPS vs. RHP's and .875 OPS vs. LHP's). JMJ should be in the lineup either at 1B or in the OF every time the opposing team starts a LHP and he should be glued to the bench whenever the Phils face a RHP.
Wigginton was such a disaster this year that Rube should be fired if his option is picked up. He sucks in the field, on the base paths and at bat. Other than that, he brings a lot to the table.
I would be okay with Shane coming back here at a reasonable price (in $ and years), but only if the team spends the money they save (by not acquiring a better CF) to strengthen another position. It seems as though the free agent market is deep in CF's and #3 or #4 starters, so this should be a good off-season to be in the market for those. I would be happy if the Phils spend ~$10M on Shane (for a max of 3 years) instead of ~$16M on Michael Bourn and apply the savings towards a contract for someone like Shaun Marcum or Edwin Jackson.
With question marks surronding Halladay/Worley it would make some sense to pick up Marcum or Edwin Jackson (types). However we know Rube will bring in some "guy" with a potential upside (has been/old dude) as his been his usual pattern. JMJ has proven he isnt a everyday player. This club needs offensive help. I expect Rube to make at least one major positional player signing this year. Im also leery that Rube will overspend on Bourne. As a small note i like Frandsden and what he did just not sure he is everyday player or/and his season wasnt a fluke. This year more so than the rest Rube has a lot of work to do.
I think you are being unfair (and also putting words in people's mouth's) in saying "Rube will bring in some "guy" with a potential upside (has been/old dude) ." The old guys he signed in the past few years were, in the cases of Polanco and Ibanez, pretty much all that was available. Polly was second choice to Beltre, who is neither old nor a has been. Bench positions, like Wiggy or Nix or Pierre, are usually filled with whatever is available, because of cost considerations.
Think what you will, but please also note that Mayberry was brought in because he had potential. He's in his twenties. Francisco had potential (although it didn't work out). He's in his twenties. Pence was traded for. He's in his twenties. Other additions, Schierholtz, Frandsen, Lindblom, are also in their twenties. Papelbon isn't exactly an antique.
The unfortunate thing is that by the time a player hits free agency, he's usually in his thirties. He's also very expensive if he still has talent. If that talent washes out in a year or two, he'll ALWAYS appear old.
Amaro has freed up a lot of money this year by dumping some old dudes/has beens. He's probably not looking to add mere "potential" in the form of more old dudes.
With Polanco, I agree. If they could not sign Beltre, Polanco seemed to be the best option. However, at the time, I wished that they had made a bigger push to sign Beltre.
With Ibanez, I disagree that they had other options and, even if they were set on Ibanez, the market was such that they overpaid in dollars and years. When they signed Ibanez, Adam Dunn signed with Washington for one fewer year and a few million fewer dollars and Washington got a lot more value from Dunn than the Phils got from Ibanez. Washington also received draft pick compensation when Dunn signed with the White Sox that the Nats turned into Alex Meyer, who mlb.com's Jonathan Mayo ranks as the 50th best prospect in MLB). They also could have re-signed Burrell for fewer years and dollars than Ibanez.
George i meant guys like Baez, Willis, Wigginton, Schneider Part 2, Qualls and his other little projects/upside guys that didnt work out.

Mandevilla Familia tipográfica
Diseñado por Laura Worthington/2013
Nine exceptional fonts from different foundries
We are sure you will be inspired!
Aubaine/Omashuisje Library
With just very slight variations in line thickness, an extremely large x-height and harmoniously formed letters, this Grotesque typeface is quite exceptional. Characteristic features include the curved legs of the "k" and the bulbous upstrokes and downstrokes of the some of the capitals, such as "A", "V" and "W". Eye-catching is also the double circle around the "@" symbol.
Liebelei/Ekke Wolf
Curvilinear extended line terminals are the most obvious defining characteristic of Liebelei by Ekke Wolf. Additional highlights include some extravagantly shaped characters, such as the "A" with its very low positioned horizontal bar, the rounded "E" and a "T" with a tail that points away from the writing direction.
Fox Grotesque/TipografiaRamis
A particularly striking attribute of the monolinear Fox Grotesque by Ramiz Guseynov is the form of the tittles over the "i" and the "j" with their semicircular shape that is repeated in the German umlauts. Those looking for something even more unusual can use the alternative characters, which include letters such as the "a", "g" and "m" that have lost some of their curves and have gained as a result a rune-like appearance.
The double-pronged terminals, marked contrast and synthetic forms impart Ramiz Guseynov's Umbria a particularly decorative look, which is further enhanced in a second variant that has swash-like loops.
Rumba/Type O Tones
The dynamic and somewhat irregular outlines of the characters of Rumba make these look as if they have been drawn by hand. They are particularly individual and thus are readily memorable. Marked contrasts in line thickness and especially flamboyantly shaped letters provide the extra weight with considerable dynamism. The small weight, on the other hand, is far more restrained. Letters such as the uppercase "E" and "G" seem more like elements of a calligraphic font.
Zubizarreta/Type O Tones
The naively structured characters of Zubizarreta with their hint of 'chaos' typography look a little as if they had been cut from coloured paper. There is no differentiation between uppercase and lowercase letters in Zubizarreta, but the variants are used indiscriminately. In addition, there are very unusual letters, such as the "A" without cross bar and the "E" that combines uppercase and lowercase letter elements.
Salamander Script/Fenotype
The playfully agile quill font Salamander Script by Emil Bertell draws attention to itself, and not just by including unusually shaped letters, such as the lowercase "f". In the form of additional variants, there are numerous decorative and ornamental alternatives.
Mandevilla/Laura Worthington
While the lowercase characters of Laura Worthington's Mandevilla are muted and reminiscent of script written with a ballpoint pen, the uppercase letters are far more extravagant with their numerous ornaments and decorations. The arching strokes do not, as is customary, extend beyond the letters, but are skilfully and ingeniously integrated in them.
seriousSally/ Joebob Graphics
Jeroen van der Ham's quill-written font seriousSally with its individual autograph-like appearance reveals its somewhat uneven quality when examined more closely. Tiny flourishes and decorations provide this typeface with a stylish character.

Selling to existing customers reduces the costs associated with acquisition strategies
Existing customers hold untapped sales potential that can easily drive up conversion rates at a much lower cost than new customer acquisition. Successful cross- and upselling strategies are built on deep customer knowledge. When you can identify customer needs and wants you are able to continually offer them new or improved products and services they are likely to buy from you, rather than from someone new.

Officials for Advanced Micro Devices said Wednesday the company was developing "Presidio", a feature to enhance security of personal computers. The claim follows Intel's plans to offer more secure PCs with its LaGrande technology and industry-wide initiative to implement non-execute bit into conventional microprocessors.
AMD Touts Presidio
"Presidio is an AMD program focused on advancing PC and server security technology," AMD's spokesman Phil Hughes told X-bit labs.
The representative remained tight-lipped over the details concerning the technology and did not reveal any direction of Presidio. He declined to comment whether there are any links between Presidio, Intel's LaGrande technology and Microsoft's Longhorn operating system.
Earlier this year Sunnyvale, California-based AMD incorporated so-called non-execute bit into its chips. The capability protects certain system memory data regions from insertion and execution of potentially harmful code, that is also referred as NX-bit, eXecute Disable (XD) or AntiVirusNX Technology and works only in conjunction with Windows XP operating systems that feature Service Pack 2.
Central Processing Units Gain Functionality
Intel Corp., AMD's main rival, is also expected to add non-execute bit functionality later this year, but the world's largest chipmaker is also preparing a more advanced security technique called LaGrande. LaGrande technology is a hardware-based approach. It is going to be available to the business customers in 1-2 years. It protects the path between the keyboard and the system. It protects visual info, as it uses protected window invisible to hackers' soft.
"Not much to say [about Presidio] right now. We don't provide any additional info [at this time]," Mr. Hughes said.
The idea to add security capability into the future chips come into view about a week after AMD announced

I Wonder If John Smoltz Likes Barbeque?
John Smoltz is the Rain Man.
No, I'm not suggesting that he's an autistic savant who is fond of Judge Wapner and considers himself an excellent driver.
When Smoltz is scheduled to pitch for the PawSox it rains.
And we're talking monsoon.
It happened last Friday night at McCoy Stadium (pushing Smoltz's Pawtucket debut to Saturday) and it happened again tonight in Syracuse. Smoltz had already gone down to the bullpen to begin warming up when it began pouring, and after waiting for about 90 minutes the scheduled doubleheader was postponed.
The two teams will play a doubleheader on Friday at 5:00 pm and Smoltz will pitch in Game 1. Charlie Zink will start in Game 2.
Since the two teams were supposed to play a twinbill on Thursday, they'll have a game to make up. Syracuse is already scheduled to play a doubleheader on Monday, so the Chiefs are looking to avoid having three twinbills in four days. That means we could be looking at a doubleheader on the next-to-last day of the season, when Pawtucket returns to the 'Cuse.
The unexpected night off means that Hoard and Hyder are going to the famed Dinosaur BBQ for an epic feast. I'll see if Smoltzie wants to join us.
We'll talk to you Friday night at 4:45.
2 Comments
i now have a craving for BBQ. yum.nice post. lots of rain outs for the pawsox this season, am i right. that means more summer ball.
-alex bettencourt
I don't know why I clicked through… I did that the last time either you or Steve talked about Dinosaur BBQ and I was hungrily thinking about barbecue for days. Hope it was indeed epic! (Of course, I can't imagine it wasn't!)
It's funny, for some reason Smoltz photographs smaller than he is by himself–it's easy for me to forget that he's a big guy until I see him next to someone else. I'd imagine he could put away his share of a feast. (Fernando Cabrera, on the other hand, photographs even taller than he is, if that's possible.)

Hi All,
I was trying to find some info on how much milk to leave for my LO's DCP and found some conflicting info.
Some sources said she would consume about the same amount per day until she's 6 mos, then decrease after solids are introduced. They said the average is 25 ounces a day and that if she eats 8 times a day I can expect each bottle to be a little over 3 ounces (sometimes more sometimes less).
Other sources said the amount would increase until she's taking up to 8 ounces per bottle. They didn't mention how many ounces per day.
Does anyone know what is correct? Or have any personal experience they'd like to share? I want to make sure I leave enough and also to package it as efficiently as possible. Right now she's 3 mos and takes 2-3 ounces per bottle, should I expect this to continue until she's 6 mos (other than growth spurts)?

Danger greets our police officers everyday -- from the side of the road to the canine cops.
Now, the Honolulu Police Department wants some help.
On Thursday, they lobbied state lawmakers for several bills that will be decided soon.
One clarifies just what constitutes a gambling device. Police like that.
"The clarification will help others from falling prey to promoters of these machines," said Lt. Jonathan Grems.
Officers recently raided several arcades, seizing machines and making arrests.
Arcade owners are fighting to get the machines back saying it's just a sweepstakes and it's perfectly legal.
"It's very clear to us you're putting money in the machine for a chance to win additional money or you lose your money. That's gambling," said Lt. Grems.
One bill officers want to see fail would decriminalize marijuana. They say it's almost unenforceable.
"People who would be in possession of marijuana wouldn't be required to have a license like drivers would be so issuing a citation would be difficult, if not, impossible," said Maj. Jerry Inouye.
Expanding the medical marijuana program in Hawaii is also a no-go for the police.
"It exponentially increases the amount of marijuana available and that's almost undoubtedly going to increase the possibility that kids or people who shouldn't have the marijuana will get diverted to them," said Maj. Inouye.
The bills have so far survived the legislative crossover deadline. Police hope their strong showing on Thursday will sway some votes in their direction.

Comments: Great shoe, use it to run/hike on Mt Tam. The dense sole provides cushioning and protection on rocky trails, the shoe is slipper like comfortable particularly across the top of the shoe - important because i have high arches. Very nice shoe.
From: ed, sf, ca, usa
Comments: Where the Ghost and ST Racer fit perfectly, the Cascadia is too short in the same size, and going up one size would be too loose for a trail shoe. So I will not be wearing these.
From: Mike, New York, NY
Comments: I had my doubts ordering these shoes. The custom sizing app indicated my Nimbus size 12s were most similar to the fit of a size 13 in the Cascadia 6s! I have never worn a size 13 of any kind of shoe in my entire life, so I was a little nervous buying them but it was a smoking deal ($64 out the door).
So they arrived in two days, as promised, and the shipping was of course free. Snatched them out of the box and threw on some socks half sure they wouldn't fit. But they did! They actually fit - no sliding around, snug in all the right places, yet ample toe space for my feet to spread out and swell during the run. Today I took them out for a little 7 mile break-in. I couldn't be more pleased.
Great roll, stability and really comfortable. I typically get a little numbness in my right toes around mile 3-5, but not today. The shoes are great so far. Thank you Running Warehouse.
One thing I did notice that concerns me: At one point during the run I actually thought I felt a pebble stuck in the bottom of my left shoe. Stopped to check but nothing. Turns out it was the shoe. Not sure why the sensation came and went, but it's worth noting considering what others have said.
From: Ryan, O.C., CA, USA
Comments: I have many long trail runs in these shoes, a couple of 50Ks and one 50m, and have never had any issues with this shoe at all. It is comfortable, light (for a trail shoe), agressive-enough tread, sheds water well, etc. I have been quite pleased with this trail shoe, and will wear it in the Bataan Memorial Death March marathon in a couple of months. This shoe has held up really well for me.
From: Mike, Houston, TX, USA
Comments: :( They seemed okay at first, but aggravated my left foot stimulating Plantars. The tread pattern, for our muddy eastern single track, isn't too great. The shoes seemed to make me tired, since I had to stay in such an aggressive stance so as not to slip. I have replaced these shoes. I had great success with the Pure Flow's and Ghost 3's, so these shoes made me sad. :(
From: Gregory, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Comments: I have the 6's and have trained/ran a marathon as well as many runs on unpaved roads. These are the only shoes that have given me NO PROBLEMS. Extremely comfortable. As a matter of fact, I just bought a second pair.
From: Todd, Waitsfield, Vermont, USA
Comments: ~130 miles on them, including a few trail races and a couple of longer 16 and 20-mile trail runs. So far, I'd say that these are excellent shoes. Very comfortable. No complaints. The gusseted tongue is a nice improvement over the 5, which, along with the extra shoestring loop at the top of the tongue, keeps everything in place and also helps keep debris from getting inside. It seems that the tread pattern on the 6 doesn't shed mud quite as well as the 5, but that really hasn't been a major issue. (I agree with Tony that the 5's were extraordinary shoes and are worth picking up if you can still find them)
From: Sean, Buford, GA, USA
Comments: I've been running in the 5's and have been very happy with them. I thought the 6's would be even better but not for me. The additional pivot on the inside of the forefoot seems to be the problem. I've put close to 200 miles on them and still get blisters under both big toes on runs longer than 5 miles. Fortunately the 5's are still out there and have gone back to them.

Why does Williams have to try to shoot off the dribble?? He's a spot shooter-- thas it..
Just saw an interesting stat about Melo and Iverson when they played together in 07-08.
If they could make it work, while both averaging 25, Amare and Melo would be fine sharing the ball imo. Add to that the friendship aspect & its a no brainer.

St. Albans event to welcome Civil War re-enactors
ST. ALBANS Civil war re-enactors are setting up camp in St. Albans for the third annual St. Albans Civil War Heritage Weekend, featuring artillery demonstrations and fiddle music.
Companies from both the Union and Confederacy will set up encampments in the citys Taylor Park today and Sunday.
Re-enactors in historic military dress will perform maneuvers, cavalry demonstrations and artillery firings, according to the St. Albans Messenger newspaper.
Organizers hope to make this years event bigger and better, said Steve Smith, a member of Champlain Valley Historical Reenactors.
With more re-enactors expected, the soldiers will present larger march demonstrations, including a re-enactment of Picketts Charge, he said.
In explaining all this stuff, we kind of use Picketts Charge as an illustration of what can happen, said Smith, who serves as a narrator. The visual aspect really sank in.
The weekend includes cooking demonstrations and cadet corps activities for kids. Period artifacts will be on display, and a womens auxiliary group is expected to be dressed in historic garb, Smith said. Ceremonies will be held at nearby Greenwood Cemetery where many veterans are buried.
The event is intended for the community to gear up for next year when St. Albans commemorates the 150th anniversary of the St. Albans raid of 1864, said to be the northernmost action during the Civil War. A group of 22 Confederate soldiers entered Vermont from Canada and on Oct. 19, 1864, robbed banks in the area before fleeing back to Canada with some of the money.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

My daughter was born with a short frenulum and was unable to latch properly when she was born. I still continued to EBF for the first week. I was worried when she would only have 1 wet diaper a day and didn't have a BM for 6 days so I started supplementing with formula. My supply dwindled down to almost nothing with pumping so I just stopped all together about 11 days ago. Her tongue was clipped and I had been putting her to breast earlier this week. She seemed to spit up more than usual even though I know she couldn't have been getting more than a few drops. I started fenegreek and blessed thistle last Sunday. My LC said that I should notice an increase in my supply within a couple of days but I didn't. She told me that she would prescribe me Reglan but after reading all the horror stories I panicked and just gave up all together again. It's seriously making me depressed that I can't BF.
So that's my story and now my question is has anyone taken Reglan and not had the horrible side effects that are warned about? I'm scared to take it and end up with irreversible damage.
I really want to relactate and do what I feel is best for my baby.
Thanks for any insight you can offer.
