I read about Amanuensis Monday in Heather Rojo's blog "Nutfield Genealogy," who read about it in Randy Seaver's blog "GeneaMusings" and he read about it on John Newmark's genealogy blog "TransylvanianDutch". That said, for me this is a great way to transcribe and post my Uncle Ralph's letters.
The following letter, written by my Uncle Ralph, reflected his daily scouring of the newspapers for clippings and bits of news to send to his sister or sisters, as they passed the letters around to one another. The newspaper clipping about the organ was not in the letter, and very few of the clippings remained with the letters. In this letter he was quite interested in the full-size pipe organ that his brother-in-law putting together in their home. (They had a full room devoted to the pipes, while the organ itself was on the other side of the wall in the living room.)
Along with the daily weather and sports reports, as well as his views on local San Diego issues, Ralph writes about his sisters, Olive, Betty, Verna, Helen, and of course his dear oldest sister, Bertha (and Bertha's daughter, Cleona.)
Oct 7, 1980
Dear Olive & Norman,
Thought Id drop a line this AM & send Norman this clipping altho he more than likely knows all about that family if they've been in the organ business that long.
Weather here feels like fall, pretty foggy this morning. Of course with baseball winding down to a close & football in full swing we don't need the weather to say what time of year it is. We are having lots of smog, just like L.A. in fact most of it is from L.A. & the thing is Alpine where a few yrs ago every one would remark on what a nice climate it was is that now with the air curants, it now has a 2nd and rd smog alert which is 3 times what the rest of the county is having.
I think SD G&E our power co has gone absolutely nuts, They've raised their rates to the highest in the country & now they are going to raise the cost of a hook up to a new customer from 151.80 o 2,000.00 boy they have all the builders & developers on their ears. O course the buyers will pay in the long run & some banker figured out on a 70,000 home by the time its paid off the purchaser would have paid out 8,875.00 for that hook up. It will really stop a lot of bldgs from going up & mostly people buying a lot & moving a mobile home on it.
Don't hear from Bertha much but expect Cleona keeps her pretty busy. Of course with the play offs & world series on now & Cleo and Cal being fanatics on watching the ball games. They will be all glued to the boob tube & Berthas like sally she could care less about then.
I like sports but its getting so down here that the tube is getting saturated with sports. The only ones I watch are football, baseball, & once in a while basketball, but in addition to that they have soccor, rugby football, hockey, & a bunch of others.
Getting back to organs. I always thought Norman was a little slow & methodical about putting his together, but according to that clipping you have to be, it takes longer to build an organ than to build a house.
Glad you guys are all doing a lot of walking. I should do more of it as I think it's the best form of exercise.
Hope Helen & Verna are feeling OK. The walking would be good for both of them. Expect Verna & Rowe will be back in the desert this month some time, but its still getting pretty warm over there.
Is Leland being treated by a Redding Dr & how is Betty putting in her time since she left the unemployment job? The 3 places up there should look pretty different now with all of you building or making improvements.
Well, like I say nothing to write about so better close.
Ralph & Sally

Re: Server Migration
It would appear that all things connected to the OLD board have not been migrated over, like the games or chat room.
They said it was hard to move the board for us... let's give 'em a break before going at it again to move everything else over. I'm sure they are aware and will let us all know when everything is good to go.
Sh*t happens... but don't worry, it usually happens to me.

Lewis-Clark State College pitchers Austin Pentecost and Luke Goodgion were among the players selected in rounds 16-40 during the Major League Baseball Draft on Wednesday.
Pentecost, a senior right-hander from Kennewick, Wash., was selected in the 29th round by the Chicago Cubs with the 884th overall pick, while Goodgion, a left-handed junior from Kent, Wash., was chosen in the 33rd round as the 1,022nd pick by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Lewis-Clark State has now had a total of 121 players selected in the draft since 1975, and has had at least one player selected in every draft since 1978.
"It feels good—kind of like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders," Pentecost said about being drafted. "I talked to a few scouts the night before and they were telling me that I'd probably get picked somewhere between 16-30, but I was really surprised by the Cubs because I hadn't really talked to them all season."
Pentecost, who transferred to LCSC from Walla Walla Community College, made 14 starts for the Warriors this year and finished with a 6-3 record and an ERA of 2.82. In 79.2 innings, he had 71 strikeouts and held opponents to a .204 batting average.
"There were a lot of other places I could have gone," Pentecost said about his decision to come to Lewis-Clark State. "I knew LC would be one of the toughest places to go to, but I also knew that it would be the best place because it would get me ready. It was a great experience at LC and I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Pentecost becomes the first Warrior in program history to be drafted by the Cubs. LCSC has now had at least one player drafted from all 30 of the current MLB franchises.
Goodgion, who transferred to the Warriors from Green River Community College, appeared in 10 games (seven starts) for the Warriors this season. He established a 2-1 record with an ERA of 2.48 which was fourth best on the team. In 36.1 innings, the 6-foot-4 southpaw struck out 33 and held batters to a .222 average.
Goodgion becomes the second Warrior to be taken by the Rays. The San Francisco Giants hold the title for drafting the most Warriors as they have selected a total 19 players from LCSC over the years.

A Snake in the Grass?
There is no Irish in baseball. Well, unless you include Jeff Samardzija, formerly of the Fightin' Irish from Notre Dame. But today is a good day so I don't want to talk about that. No, today is a day when we celebrate the completely fabricated story of St. Patrick ridding the Emerald Isle of snakes. However, apparently there are snakes aplenty within the comfy confines of the World Baseball Classic.
Much attention has been focused over the past few days on the Venezuelan fans booing of Magglio Ordonez. Now, when you seem to have become the lapdog of old friend of RSBS, Hugo Chavez and you are playing in front of a bunch of people who left Venezuela because of Hugo Chavez, well, it makes sense that something has to give. And so far that something has been any residual love for Maggs.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about booing hated players. My brothers have made a sport of riling opposing outfielders from the cheap seats in left field and I've been known to throw a few choice words the way of batters during tight softball games. But the thing those people have in common is that they play for the opposing team. When you have become a pariah to even your own fans, it might be time to rethink your actions.
I'll admit, I hated Maggs, too, but only when he was on the White Sox. Once he joined the Tigers and especially after that killer blast against the A's that sent the Tigers to the 2006 World Series, he could do no wrong. But supporting the man who has managed to turn his capital city into the murder capital of the world? That might not have been the best choice.
Against Puerto Rico, some of the hatred seemed to subside and in a tight game, the Venezuelan fans were cheering every hit their team could muster. But pity the man if he pulls a Buckner or manages to strike out at an inopportune moment. Maggs, you're on notice.

Seems like politics should be avoided during the game when it is your country playing.
Maybe the snake bit is bogus, but St Patrick conceptualized the Holy Trinity while pondering a three leafed shamrock. That much I know.
Well, I like to boo Maggs, but it has nothing to do with Hugo Chavez ;)-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
I'm not a fan of Ordonez but I do love Tigers fans who wear those wigs. Hilarious. I tried to get one when I was at Comerica.
My hair is almost as long as Magglio's. Maybe if I get a really good tan this summer (yeah right) I can be him for Halloween.
Why do these fans care what Magglio's political stance is? He's a freakin' baseball player. Are you telling me his endorsement of a bill got it passed? What's he going to do next…stage a coup in the U.S. and get Hugo Chavez seated in the White House? Of course not. He's going to hit .330 like he does almost every year. He could do that while wearing a Che Guevara shirt under his jersey every game; it would still be a .330 batting average and he'd still be one of the best hitters around.
Todd Wellemeyer is a card-carrying Republican and a former Cub. Could I have any more reason to boo him? Probably not. But none of that matters, because it doesn't affect what he does on the mound. And that's really all I care about when I see him pitch at Busch Stadium.
Amen Bird-Brained!!!
Julia — I agree… sorta😉 What else would Al and I write about if it didn't?
Matt — Three leafed? I thought it was four. But I ain't no Catholic so what do I know?
Erin — Me too.
Jane — We'll see what we can do for ya. We know people… and by people I mean affluent white people who live in Farmington Hills.
And for the record, I think Magglio is sketchy yet productive.

Farley Granger, he was such a good guy.
Really just one of the most amiable and stand up people you could've ever met. A pioneer in the film industry, a consummate actor's actor, and a tremendous champion of classic films in his last few decades. He would attend any screenings he was asked to, do Q & As, meet with fans, share his wisdom with younger generations. And a pretty big and unsung hero in the LGBT world too. As one of the first major "top billing" stars who refused to hide their sexuality. I took his death hard, as a long time fan, grateful student of his film wisdom shared, and acquaintance.
I was actually about to met him again for a long sit-down interview to help my budding career as a film historian just a few months before he died suddenly. I'll always regret never having had that chance to get to know him better. And I'll always cherish having known such a truly wonderful and inspiring man personally.
RIP to both Farley and Bob Calhoun, such fantastic gentlemen who are sorely missed!ReplyCancel

Legislators deadlock on school consolidation
MONTPELIER Efforts to consolidate school districts appears to have stalled for the legislative session.
After hours of debate Thursday night and Friday morning, the Senate approved a miscellaneous education bill that offers a consolidation plan that varies greatly from a different consolidation plan approved April 30 by the House.
After approval from the Senate, the bill was sent to the House, which had the choice of either approving the bill with the amendments from the Senate or voting to create a conference committee composed of senators and representatives.
However, to do this, the House would have had to vote to take up the issue, which they did not.
With today most likely being the last day of the legislative session, it is unlikely there is enough time.
The miscellaneous tax bill was the second proposal seeking to consolidate schools this session. H.883, a bill passed April 30 by the House, calls for increasing financial incentives for school districts to consolidate voluntarily, while creating an appointed design team that would come up with a plan to consolidate the remaining districts involuntarily.
Because the bill came out of the House after crossover day in March, it was referred to the Senate Rules Committee for approval to introduce it at such a late date. It has stayed there for the past seven working days, and will likely stay there for the final hours of the legislative session.
The miscellaneous education bill, H.876, received broad support from the Senate by a vote of 23-5. It contains a number of education initiatives, including tightening up the supervision of principals by superintendents; creating a Vermont Physical Education and Nutrition Task Force; and requiring districts to move to a single style of financial bookkeeping to make it easier to compare one district to another.
But at the heart of the miscellaneous education bill is a last-minute consolidation plan that would do away with any sort of involuntarily consolidation plan and instead raises even further the financial incentives for districts to consolidate voluntarily.
Currently, the state offers as much as $150,000 upon the creation of a regional education district, or RED, with multiple towns governed by a single school board and with a single tax rate. The proposal in the miscellaneous tax bill raises that incentive to as much as $500,000.
The Senate also passed an amendment that would place a two-year moratorium on allowing a public school to close and reopen as a private school that serves the same student population, much as the North Bennington Graded School did in 2013.
This is actually the Senates second attempt at this; a bill that would impose such a moratorium was ordered to let lie April 16 in the House because of lack of support after receiving approval from the Senate.
The miscellaneous education bill did draw some criticism from members of the Senate, including Sen. Jeanette White, D-Windham.
I acknowledge this bill is considerably better than the one we might have been looking at, but it presupposes that consolidation is good, White said. I am not convinced that governance will either save money or offer a better quality of education for students. It seems pretty clear that after consolidating school districts, the next step is to consolidate schools themselves.
With both consolidation proposals dead in the water, it appears consolidation as well as the other initiatives in the miscellaneous education bill will be put off until the 2015 legislative session.
Today, the Legislature is expected to take up other bills, including one addressing economic development.

Checkmate: Tesla's Elon Musk Provides Driving Logs from NYT's "Peculiar" Model S Trip
Tiffany Kaiser
February 14, 2013 12:41 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The driving logs disprove many of Broder's claims
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has fulfilled his promise to provide the driving logs from
the recent Model S test drive
The New York Times
-- and it looks like John Broder has some explaining to do.
Broder, the NYT staff writer that took a Tesla Model S for a test trip up the east coast this winter, published a final article that
details a failed trip and the many troubles the car gave him along the way.
However, Musk became suspicious of Broder's claims when so many other journalists had made similar or more tasking trips in the Model S.
"To date, hundreds of journalists have test driven the Model S in every scenario you can imagine," said Musk. "The car has been driven through Death Valley (the hottest place on Earth) in the middle of summer and on a track of pure ice in a Minnesota winter. It has traveled over 600 miles in a day from the snowcapped peaks of Tahoe to Los Angeles, which made the very first use of the Supercharger network, and moreover by no lesser person than another reporter from
The New York Times
. Yet, somehow John Broder 'discovered' a problem and was unavoidably left stranded on the road. Or was he?"
Musk dug up
the driving logs from Broder's trip
, and earlier this week, he said he would share these discoveries after claiming that Broder had "faked" his article. Now, Musk has come equipped with the goods and it's not looking good for Broder.
Musk first addressed Broder's claim that the Model S ran completely out of energy and required a flatbed truck to tow it in Connecticut. Musk said the car never, at any time, ran out of energy.
Broder's article also mentioned that the Model S fell short of its projected range "on the final leg" of the trip, which was 61 miles total. On his final charge before embarking on this last leg of 61 miles, the logs show that Broder disconnected the charge cable when the range display showed only 32 miles. However, despite not fully charging the car, it managed to travel 51 miles -- and still wasn't completely out of charge when the flatbed truck was called for a tow. Also, during that last leg of the trip, Broder drive right past another charging station where he could have given the Model S another boost. But Musk said Broder "constructed a no-win scenario for any vehicle, electric or gasoline."
Musk also said that Broder never set the cruise control to 54 MPH or drove at 45 MPH, as stated in the article. Instead, he drove at speeds of 65-81 MPH for a majority of the trip.
He also had the cabin temperature at 72 degrees, and when he mentioned turning it down in the article, he had actually turned it up to 74 degrees.
Musk further noted that Broder's charge time on the second stop was 47 minutes, and not 58 minutes as stated in the article's graphic. If Broder didn't turn off the Supercharger at 47 minutes and went for the full 58, it would have been "virtually impossible" for him to run out of energy so quickly.
Speaking of charging, the driving logs also showed that Broder recharged the car to 90 percent on his first stop, to 72 percent on the second Supercharge and to 28 percent on the last leg -- signficantly cutting charging times at each stop.
Finally, Musk's driving logs from the Model S show that Broder had taken a long detour in Manhattan, and upon reaching Milford, Connecticut (where the range display said 0 miles), he drove the car in circles in a for over a half mile in a tiny parking lot. The Model S wouldn't give in and die, so Broder finally took it to the charging station.
Musk added that Broder was biased against electric vehicles from the start, and had set out to make the Model S fail before even receiving the car.
"When the facts didn't suit his opinion, he simply changed the facts," said Musk. "Our request of
The New York Times
is simple and fair: please investigate this article and determine the truth. You are a news organization where that principle is of paramount importance and what is at stake for sustainable transport is simply too important to the world to ignore."
Broder, who had his article published last week, was given a
Model S sedan
with an EPA rated 265-mile estimated range with an 85-kilowatt battery pack. He traveled from the
Washington area in Maryland to Norwich, Connecticut, with many stops in between including Newark, Delaware; New York City; Milford, Connecticut; Branford, Connecticut and Groton, Connecticut.
During his trip, Broder mentioned many instances where the battery suddenly depleted quickly and he had to call Tesla for assistance on how to maximize range between charging stops (which were about 200 miles apart from one another or less during the trip). He said he received different advice from different Tesla employees, and even bad advice from one that said to sit in the car for half an hour with the heat on a low setting in order to warm the battery after it depleted from an overnight stay in Groton. At one point, Broder said the car even needed to be towed in Branford because the battery drained much sooner than anticipated.
Let's see what Broder has to say now.

OUr 10 month old doesn't want to eat gerber solid foods anymore and is more interested in table food. We have given her bananas, bread, cherrios, fruit and veggie puffs and I know they can have pasta. But how can I incorporate veggies in there and are there anymore table foods I can give her?
For now she only has two teeth but believe me, she can chew up those other foods great.

The Deal: Globecomm Sells Itself to Wasserstein for $340M
The deal concludes a strategic review for the target active since the beginning of the year when Hauppauge, N.Y.-based Globecomm tapped Needham & Co. to advise it on strategic alternatives.
The target was facing pressure from activist investors, among them Chicago-based investment firm Discovery Group which had told the company last year it should explore a sale. Other investors more recently raised the possibility of a proxy fight.
The purchase price represents a 21.9% premium to Globecomm's share price on Jan. 14, the day the strategic review was announced. Globecomm closed at $14.40 per share Friday.
Globecomm's board unanimously approved the purchase and the deal should close in the fourth quarter of 2013.
One industry observer called the deal a good way for the private equity firm to gain a foothold in the cutting edge of the telecom world.
Wasserstein will fund the purchase via cash and debt financing through Highbrige Principal Strategies LLC, which already has a commitment letter in place.
"Globecomm is a leader in developing and managing complex communications solutions with a strong track record of growth and innovative engineering that leverages its global communications network," commented Anup Bagaria, co-managing partner of Wasserstein. "Globecomm has also made successful investments in new product development that we believe will drive future growth in both the company's existing and new markets."
For the year ending June 30, 2012, Globecomm reported $381.9 million in sales, $28.5 million in net income, and $50.9 million in Ebitda, compared to $274.1 million in sales, $8.9 million, and $24.9 million in Ebitda. The takeout multiple was thus around 6.6 times Ebitda, the median for satellite communications companies

(WBAL) A passenger saved a Maryland Transit Administration bus from crashing after the driver had some sort of medical emergency Tuesday afternoon.
When Janai Stafford got on the bus in Owings Mills on Tuesday afternoon, she was looking forward to a relaxing afternoon.
Stafford said the bus she boarded outside a Giant was full of kids, so she stayed up front and stood next to the driver. She said they were approaching the Beltway when the incident happened.
"All of a sudden the bus driver said, 'Something's not right. I don't feel good. Something's not right,'" Stafford said. "And then all of a sudden, he passed out all over the wheel," she recalled.
That's when Stafford said she knew she had to take control of the bus.
"I put my foot on his foot. I didn't even know what foot to put," Stafford said. "It just happened. I put my foot on his foot, and I just wrapped my arm around him, and I steered the bus to the right and parked it."

Coed Baby Showers
Coed baby showers are breaking down barriers set forth by previous generations, giving the host or hostess a new set of tasks: catering to the needs of both women and men. Instead of women celebrating motherhood, coed baby showers offer other couples an opportunity to show the new parents are supported by friends and family. If you have assumed the hairy task of planning a coed baby shower, be sure to keep your coed guests in mind when deciding on invitations, decorations, and activities. Below you will find a list of crucial do's and don'ts to help you along the way.
What to Consider When Planning a Coed Baby Shower
In order to remedy any socially awkward situations or tension, make sure to invite plenty of other male guests; make the shower guy-friendly. To achieve a happy medium so both genders are comfortable at the coed baby shower, consider the following:
Despite what many women may think, men might feel honored by the invite and excited to participate in the baby shower, solidifying the importance of welcoming both men and women.
Tips for guys
For first timers stepping into the lion's den, men might feel intimidated or awkward around either other guys they don't know, or being in a room full of excited women. If male guests feel uncomfortable during any conversations about painful childbirths, take a bathroom break or grab another drink.

Courcelle building: A historyApril 03,2013The change in ownership of the Courcelle Brothers Army Reserve building on North Street Extension, where the city is in the process of acquiring title in order to establish the Recreation Department in suitable quarters, brings to mind the events in the 1950s when the place was originally established.
The field along the street stretched from the property fronting North Main Street to the back of properties on Bellevue Avenue. It was owned by an out-of-state couple whose real estate dealer was Dan J. Healy. The Army Reserve people came to town and negotiated with Healys real estate office, which was located on Merchants Row.
Healy was also Rutlands mayor, and when the property negotiations were being finished, Healy apparently told the Army people that he would oversee any paperwork that was needed to take place at City Hall. But when city officials approached the Army people about such things as property transfer notices and possible building permits, the Army people said: The mayor is taking care of all that.
That was a red flag to local political people opposed to the mayor. Alderman Howard W. Douglas had an ingrained suspicion of Irish politicians, and Healy made no secret of his pride in being blue-collar Irish. Another person often critical of Healy was Alderman Joseph R. Paul.
The Army remark about Healy taking care of permits and such may have been innocent, but the wording allowed bad interpretations to be made. Here was the head of city government about to make some money when the federal government bought the property he was agent for, and it was made to sound as if he was going to make sure that nothing at City Hall would interfere with that transaction.
Some of Healys opponents never used the word corruption, but they acted as if they thought thats what it was.
Then there were the neighbors, especially owners on Bellevue Avenue who had been able to look out from their back on a peaceful field, and now they learned that an Army building was being considered for that field. They took their worries to the Board of Aldermen, and Healys critics on the board saw to it that they got good mileage out of the situation.
It soon became clear to the Army Reserve that things were not going as smoothly as had been hoped, so a colonel was dispatched from Boston to try to allay the fears being expressed. He soon looked very bemused at what he heard in the course of several long special meetings of the board.
Some neighbors spoke of the fear of the noise of Army trucks rumbling next to their houses in the middle of the night. Another neighbor asked how many tanks would be stationed at the spot and whether they would be used in practice.
Still another said: I dont want cannon going off in my back yard.
It was obvious that the word Army in the term Army Reserve turned their minds to regular Army activities such as target practice and vehicular operations. They didnt realize that the building was intended for periodic training of individual units.
The Army colonel tried to reassure everybody. There would be no cannon going off, he said, and there would be no tanks in the place. Any use of trucks would be minimal and always in the daylight hours if at all. The building was intended for drilling personnel, not for exercising military hardware.
Healys opponents on the board kept the hearings going as long as possible, but in the end they could do nothing to stop the process. Permits were granted, and the building, named for two brothers who had died in wartime, entered into a peaceful period. Mayor Healy, who had snorted in derision at the suggestion of corruption, said his commission for the sale of the property was not very large and continued as mayor for a number of years. But the situation made for a very active summer in the aldermanic chambers.

I was unable to get pcntl_wait or pcntl_waitpid to terminate when I had an active signal handler. I then noticed the post below from gaylord at 100days dot de, however I'm a little confused by that post as I found the exact opposite to be true. The default value of the third parameter of pcntl_signal (the restart_syscalls parameter) is true and this seems to cause the wait to continue when the signal arrives. In order to prevent this I had to expressly set it to false. That is:

Hi everyone
I am currently nursing my 11 month old and have no plan on weaning her anytime soon, however, I am very concerned about dental caries and have read alot of conflicting information. I have a 4 year old who weaned herself at 13 months so it was not an issue for her. I night nurse my infant ALOT and would love to continue nursing through toddlerhood. Does anyone have an opinion on this? It sounds like some of you have nursed for a number of years, are dental caries an issue for your children? Thanks so much.

Is the Name of Philma Helping or Hurting You?
All names are not equal. The names you use create your life experiences.
Find out how all the names you use and the energy they create have shaped your life in
free Name and Birth Date Report. Life can be better, find out how.
- Your first name of Philma has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature.
- While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own changing interests or changing circumstances.
- You become intensely involved with everything you plan to do, but the stress arising from frustrating obstacles or misunderstandings with others could prompt you to be intolerant and sarcastic in your expression, with breakdowns in congenial relations with family and friends a possible end result.
- Any emotional outbursts or moods would register as tension in your solar plexus, resulting in nervous indigestion and related problems.
- Tension could also centre in the head affecting the eyes, ears, sinuses, or teeth.
- True relaxation and peace of mind are elusive under this name.

text: Hi my little one just turned 7 months old. We have be bf only. I tried to introduce babyfood and cereal to her at 6 months but about an hour after she vomits and she does not stop(it is bad). So about a 2 weeks ago i started to make my own baby food to see if it helped. IT DID. I mushed up carrots then a couple of days i gave her peas. And now i am on mashed patotes. She does not puke. I was wondering if this happends to anyone else. Their little one cant eat baby food only food i eat. Also i want to know what i can make her and how and how many times she should be eating solids agian.


text: First, I thought I'd nurse only a year, well that came and went. Then, I thought I wanted to be done by 2 years, but since she turned 1 I am considering lettting DD self wean. She is almost 19 months and still nursing 3-4 times a day, sometimes more. DH wants her to be weaned by the time she is 2 period. We have discussed this several times and he won't let up on it. I have argued everything from health benefits, to emotional, etc. He did let me go past 1 year....so I guess I gotta give somewhere. Problem is, he deploys this summer until next year and DD turns 2 in October (while he's away). I recently went back to work, she will be starting daycare next week, have been trying potty training too. The way I see it, she just got used to me working, (DH watches her until next week), she'll be starting daycare, DH is deploying, and potty training, then she has to wean in a few months? The kid has a lot going on right now. I am trying to do one at a time and give her a break. I may let up on potty training until she adjusts to everything else. How am I supposed to have her weaned by 2? She has cut back on one session a day already, so that's progress. (sometimes I feel she makes up for it by nursing as soon as I get home and 30 mins later ) I do want to wean, but maybe only partially. What do I tell DH?

Amtrak's $361 million loss was smallest since 1975Albert J. Marro / Staff File Photo
Amtraks Ethan Allen Express pulls out of the Rutland depot on its regular run to New York City in this 2009 photo.
WASHINGTON Amtraks fiscal 2012 operating loss was the lowest in nearly 38 years, which is a sign of progress, Joseph Boardman, the railroads president and CEO, said Thursday.
The $361 million loss for the year ending Sept. 30 was down 19 percent from the previous year.
The last time Amtrak losses were less was 1975.
In a conference call with reporters, Boardman also laid out an agenda for this year that includes delivery of the first of 70 new electric locomotives and 130 long-distance passenger cars, expansion of the Acela Express high-speed service in the Northeast with an additional New York-Washington round trip, and beginning the work necessary to acquire new high-speed trains.
The new electric locomotives will operate at speeds of up to 125 mph in the Northeast corridor between Washington and Boston and up to 110 mph between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, replacing locomotives that have been in service for as long as three decades. The new locomotives will be easier to maintain and more energy efficient, using regenerative braking to feed energy back into the power grid, the railroad said.
Amtrak is also working on upgrading its Wi-Fi service available to passengers to faster, more reliable 4G wireless service as cellular carriers expand their 4G footprint along the railroads routes. The 4G service is currently being tested and should be available soon, although no date has been set, Boardman said.
Amtrak will also ask Congress for money to help with design and early construction of elements of its Gateway program to preserve a pathway for two new Hudson River tunnels to New Yorks Penn Station. An Amtrak funding bill is on Congress agenda, but the railroad faces deep skepticism from House Republicans.
Amtrak trains carried 31.2 million passengers in the fiscal year ending in September, the highest annual ridership since Congress created the railroad in 1971.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Northern Illinois women's tennis coach Ryun Ferrell has derived plenty of joy this season from watching Nelle Youel's game.
"If she wasn't on this team, I probably would've quit coaching a while ago," Ferrell said. "She's rejuvenated my career. She makes me want to do a better job."
The excitement Youel has created around NIU's tennis program by winning 50 matches has come, in large part, from making opponents miserable.
"She gets them just to hate life," Ferrell said. "She makes them want to get off the court as fast as possible. It's fun to watch her get her hooks into somebody."
Youel's grueling style has paid immense dividends.
On April 25, the Crystal Lake Central graduate became the first NIU women's player to earn first-team All-Mid-American Conference honors since 2002. Her 50 combined wins in singles and doubles includes 27 victories at No. 1 singles.That total surpassed the school record of Natacha Koprivica, which was established in 1988-89.
"It makes me proud to see how far my hard work has taken me," Youel said. "I wasn't a year-round tennis player until I came to college. It's nice to make big improvements."
Much of Youel's success has come from endurance and determination.
"Every day, she gives me everything she has," Ferrell said. "She is so strong and she can last forever. I've never had to yell at her. I've never had to chew her out. … People have said we need five more of her. I don't know that five more of her exist."
Youel, who describes her game as "feisty," gets into opponents' heads with a mix of attitude and skill.
"Every match at No. 1 is a daunting task," she said. "You're not going to play your best tennis every single day. I do some fist pumps and I yell. I try to get [opponents] to know that there aren't going to be any easy points. That's my goal."
She even admits to tricking her own mind into thinking matches won't be easy.
"I tell myself that they're going to be really long matches," she said. "And if they're any shorter than three, 3 1/2 hours, that's great."
Extending matches with long, consistent rallies is Youel's hallmark and often draws the most feedback from opposing players.
"The best compliment I have gotten is when people say, 'I hate playing you,'" she said. "I've had teammates tell me that. There's a girl from Bowling Green, and we played a four-and-a-half hour match in a summer tournament. She told me that too."
Youel is planning more long matches this summer on a regional circuit for top college players.
"The main [goal] is becoming more of an all-around player and not just a threat from the baseline," she said.
Ferrell said his hope is for Youel to get to the net more in matches and "not just to go to the net to shake hands."
Along with helping the team improve on its 14-10 record this season – the most wins since 1997 – Ferrell said he expects Youel to make a leap to NCAA tournament singles qualification.
"I really think she can do that," he said.
Top thrower: Kamile Udrenaite, a sophomore at D-III Concordia University Chicago, was named the Northern Athletics Conference Women's Field Event Athlete of the Meet last weekend after the league's outdoor track and field championships.
Udrenaite, a Crystal Lake South grad, won the shot put (39 feet, 9ľ inches) and hammer throw (142-8) at the NAC meet. She finished second in the discus (129-2) to scored 28 team points for Concordia, the highest total for any individual field athlete.
Udrenaite set school records at the April 26 Benedictine University Twilight Invitational in the hammer throw (145-9) and the shot put (40-5). The effort at Benedictine earned Udrenaite the NAC's Women's Track and Field Athlete of the Week honor.
Cornell standout: Abby Haubold, a junior catcher at D-III Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, was selected to the All-Midwest Conference first team in softball this week.
Haubold, a Woodstock grad, batted .393 this season for the Rams (23-15) while starting 21 times behind the plate. She also had four doubles, 11 RBIs and a .459 slugging percentage for the season. In 156 chances in the field, Haubold did not commit an error this season.
On Sunday, Cornell won the MWC Tournament championship for the first time in school history, thanks to a 2-for-4 performance from Haubold in a 9-0 victory against Lawrence University. The victory earned Cornell a berth in the NCAA tournament, another program first. The seventh-seeded Rams are competing this weekend in the eight-team Pella (Iowa) Regional tournament.
Superb Star: Crystal Lake South grad Emily Mahoney was honored this spring as the Northern Athletics Conference Pitcher of the Year in softball.
Mahoney, a senior at D-III Dominican University in River Grove, earned first-team all-conference honors by leading the NAC in victories (21) and strikeouts (251).
Mahoney also batted a team-best .348 with three homers and 21 RBIs.As a pitcher, Mahoney was 21-8 with a 1.95 ERA. Her school-record strikeout total was only 10 shy of the NAC record.

In Madison, hundreds of pancreatic cancer survivors and their loved ones gathered at the State Capitol on Sunday afternoon.
The meeting was hosted by the local chapter of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and was part of the PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope.
The local affiliate of the national organization has raised more than half a million dollars in the past several years for research.
It is estimated that 38,000 men and women will die this year alone from pancreatic cancer.
WISC-TV's Jessica Arp emceed the event and read names of local cancer victims.
"For those us who have lost loved ones, it's a time for group remembrance," said Barbara Karlen of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. "For being here to cheer and support those who are surviving and just to have a sense of community in the sense that we're not alone."
Former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson also spoke at the event.
Thompson has two brothers who have died of pancreatic cancer.
