text: I am a SAHM with a 7 week old baby. I have three older kids who are in activities that I'm always driving them to. It was becoming very stressful for me to sit and nurse every two hours, so I decided to go to formula during the day. I have been nursing once in the evening, about once in the middle of the night and once in the morning. Now it seems like my milk supply is going down and she needs a bottle after the evening feeding and the morning feeding. I'm also regretting the decision to formula feed during the day. It's been about two weeks. Is it possible to get my milk supply back up? It seems like I hardly have any milk right now. If it's possible how long would it take? She's been drinking a lot of formula during the day, like maybe 24 ounces and she's 7 weeks old.

Our Youth, Our Economy, Our Future: A Road Map for Investing in the Nation's Talent Pipeline
Nov 20, 2014
Sign on in support of the Road Map to connect youth and young adults to education, work, and opportunity!
As a nation, we face a set of challenges that we can no longer ignore. The economic future of our country depends on the next generation of young Americans becoming ready for college, work, and life. However, many of our young people are reaching young adulthood without the skills and competencies they need to succeed. Millions of youth are being left behind, disconnected from the societal and economic mainstreams, and falling into harm's way.
- An estimated 6.7 million young people ages 16 to 24 are unattached to school or work.
- Youth and young adults ages 16 to 24 face an unemployment rate more than twice the overall unemployment rate.
- By 2018, 60 percent of all U.S. jobs will require some level of postsecondary education.
While we have made considerable progress in raising awareness about these issues and the young people behind these statistics who are too often forgotten, we still have much work to do. Far too many youth and young adults remain idle and disconnected from economic opportunity. This is a complex problem that requires thoughtful solutions, and our goal should be to increase the number of youth who are connected to school and work.
The Campaign for Youth recently updated Our Youth, Our Economy, Our Future: A Road Map for Investing in the Nation's Talent Pipeline, an investment strategy that offers a set of recommendations to help national, state, and local public and private stakeholders identify and invest in solutions –and leverage current philanthropic and federal resources, including the recently enacted Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The strategy offers seven overarching ways to bring these recommendations to reality:
- Make reconnecting our youth a national priority.
- Invest in high-need communities.
- Involve young people in finding solutions for their own generation.
- Build capacity to utilize research-based practices and knowledge to expand high-quality programming.
- Create pathways to financial independence and social mobility.
- Develop work-based learning opportunities that are relevant to careers and have real world applications.
- Create a policy and research infrastructure to ensure program quality and accountability.
Solutions are within reach but require strong public support, public and private investment, an active nonprofit sector, enabling government policies, and the collective knowledge of the youth development field.
Read our Road Map for Investing in the Nation's Talent Pipeline.
Sign on in support of the Road Map to connect youth and young adults to education, work, and opportunity!
About the Campaign for Youth: In 2002, the leadership of national youth-serving and policy organizations established the Campaign for Youth to build a united voice for disadvantaged youth. Our mission is to lift up strategies that help young people who are out of work, out of school, and out of the mainstream reconnect and succeed.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, a member of female punk band Pussy Riot, is escorted by police as she arrives at a Moscow court on Monday.
Updated at 9:20 a.m. ET: MOSCOW - Three women who protested against Vladimir Putin in a "punk prayer" on the altar of Russia's main cathedral went on trial Monday in a case seen as a test of the longtime leader's treatment of dissent during a new presidential term.
The members of the band Pussy Riot face up to seven years in prison for an unsanctioned performance in February in which they entered Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral, ascended the altar and called on the Virgin Mary to "throw Putin out!"
Maria Alyokhina, 24, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29, were brought to Moscow's Khamovniki court for Russia's highest-profile trial since former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky was convicted in 2010.
Governments and rights groups, as well as musicians such as Sting, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Franz Ferdinand, have expressed concern about the trial, reflecting doubts that Putin - who is serving his third presidential term and could be in power until 2024 - will become more tolerant of dissenting voices.
On Monday, supporters chanted "Girls, we're with you!" and "Victory!" as the women, each handcuffed by the wrist to a female officer, were led from a white and blue police van into the courthouse through a side entrance. Streets around the court, on a high Moscow River embankment, were closed.
More Russia coverage from NBCNews.com
They were led into a metal and clear-plastic courtroom cage, where they milled and spoke with lawyers as preparations began. Tolokonnikova, in a blue checkered shirt, lowered her head to speak through a small opening in the enclosure. Two pairs of handcuffs hung at the ready just beside her face.
Three female punk rockers are put on trial in Russia after taking over the pulpit at an Orthodox cathedral and performing a controversial song criticizing President Putin. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
"We did not want to offend anybody," Tolokonnikova said, speaking to a defense lawyer who stood outside the enclosure. "We admit our political guilt, but not legal guilt."
The band's stunt was designed to highlight the close relationship between the dominant Russian Orthodox Church and former KGB officer Putin, then prime minister, whose campaign to return to the presidency in a March election was backed clearly, if informally, by the leader of the church, Patriarch Kirill.
'Serious problems' with vote that kept Putin in power, monitors say
Symbolically, the trial is taking place in the same Moscow courthouse where Khodorkovsky was found guilty of stealing his own oil in a trial in 2010 that many Western politicians said looked like a crude Kremlin attempt to keep a man it saw as a political threat behind bars.
'Our motives are exclusively political'
The women are charged with hooliganism motivated by religious hatred or hostility.
But in opening statements read by a defense lawyer, who sometimes struggled with the handwritten texts, they said they were protesting against Kirill's political support for Putin and had no animosity toward the church or the faithful.
"I have never had such feelings toward anyone in the world," Tolokonnikova said in her statement. "We are not enemies of Christians ... our motives are exclusively political."
"We only want Russia to change for the better," she said.
Alyokhina's statement said: "I thought the church loved all its children, but it seems the church loves only those children who love Putin."
Maxim Shemetov / Reuters
Maria Alyokhina, a member of Pussy Riot, arrives at a Moscow court on Monday.
The women looked thinner and paler than they did when they were jailed following the performance in late February, shortly before Putin, in power as president from 2000-2008 and then as prime minister, won a six-year presidential term on March 4.
"She looks like she has been on a long hunger strike," Stanislav Samutsevich said of his daughter. "Her cheeks are hollow … I've never seen her in such a state. I think this is like an inquisition, like mockery."
A reporter on state-run Rossiya-24 television presented a different picture, focusing on occasional smiles and chuckles and an overall air of self-assuredness among the women, who whispered to each other as a prosecutor read the charges.
PhotoBlog: Topless feminist confronts Russian church patriarch
"Look at their faces; they are laughing and joking," the reporter said on the news, adding that a viewer might think they were "continuing the action" they carried out at the cathedral.
Prosecutors asked for the trial, which was streamed live on the Internet, to be closed to the public and the media, saying a "rift in society" and emotions over the case put the defendants and other participants at risk.
Envelope-pushing performances
Pussy Riot, who say they were inspired by bands such as Bikini Kill from the 1990s-era Riot Grrrl U.S. feminist punk movement, burst onto the scene this winter with angry lyrics and envelope-pushing performances, including one on Red Square, that went viral on the Internet.
The collective see themselves as part of a disenchanted generation that is looking for creative ways to show its dissatisfaction with Putin's dominance of the political landscape.
The all-girl group has no lead singer, and, in order that anyone may join, its members don multi-colored balaclavas, which have become its trademark. They numbered five when they formed in November but later expanded to 10 members, though there have been no performances in Russia since their bandmates' arrest.
Among the group's most noted outrageous acts was the drawing of an enormous phallus on a drawbridge in St. Petersburg. Several members participated in an obscene "fertility rite" at Moscow museum, mocking Dmitry Medvedev, who was elected Russian president the next day.

'Russian superhero' needed?
One member of the group, who spoke to Britain's The Observer newspaper, said members of the band masked their faces to appear anonymous in public to show that "everybody can be Pussy Riot." The 25-year-old, who spoke via video while in hiding for fear of arrest, went by the nickname "Sparrow."
She said a "Russian superhero" was needed at the moment. Wearing masks and costumes during performances, "Sparrow" told The Observer, felt like "having a second life. It's like being Spider-Man or Catwoman. ... When I'm in a mask I feel a little bit like a superhero. I feel more power. I feel really brave. I believe that I can do everything and can change the situation."
Russian Orthodox Church apologizes for Photoshopping patriarch's watch
She also told the newspaper: "It's a bit scary but we're sure what we are doing is right. … When you're doing the right thing you're not scared. Because it's horrible what's happened to the girls."
Anthony Kiedis and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers spoke out in support of the group during the Calif. funk-rock band's July 22 concert in Moscow. Kiedis wore a Pussy Riot t-shirt on stage and both musicians gave letters to Pyotr Verzilov, Tolokonnikova's husband, according to The Guardian newspaper.
Church revival
The unsanctioned performance that prompted the arrest of three Pussy Riot members offended many believers in predominantly Orthodox Christian Russia, where the church has enjoyed a huge revival since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
More Europe coverage from NBCNews.com
But while some two-thirds of the country's 142 million people are considered Russian Orthodox, the number of practicing churchgoers is far smaller in a nation where the legacy of decades of official atheism looms large.
Patriarch Kirill has said the church was "under attack by persecutors" and has encouraged pro-church demonstrations including a procession to Christ the Savior in April.
"This is only the small, visible tip of an iceberg of extremists," Mikhail Kuznetsov, a lawyer representing church security guards, said in an interview with the newspaper Moscow News last week. "They are aiming to destroy the thousand-year-old traditions of the Russian Orthodox Church, to provoke a schism, and to deceivingly bring the flock not towards God, but towards Satan."
A topless woman protests at the arrival of the Russian Orthodox Church leader in Ukraine. NBCNews.com's Alex Witt reports.
'Harmless civil activity'
The defendants' supporters say the charges are politically-motivated.
In a poll by the independent Levada Center and released by the prominent newspaper Kommersant earlier this month, 50 percent of Muscovites said they did not support a criminal trial for the members of Pussy Riot, with 36 percent supporting the trial.
Pussy Riot's cathedral performance was part of a lively protest movement that at its peak saw 100,000 people turn out for rallies in Moscow, some of the largest in Russia since the demise of the USSR.
Reuters, The Associated Press and NBC News staff contributed to this report.

I've got around 10-15 messages each from Wells Fargo, Paypal, Citi Bank and Amazon. One from Amazon came around 10 minutes after I had placed an order, claiming that there was a problem with my bank account, and asked to verify my credit card number. It looked so damn convincing and the timing was right too. I clicked on the link. Thankfully, Chrome reported it as a phishing site, before any damage was done. Since then, I've been very, very careful.Fact of Life:

In the future, if an email looks good, open a browser and type the company's web address manually to verify. Never click on a link in an email.
I also find that if you hover the mouse pointer over an email link, you can see the real URL at the bottom of the screen and you can often tell its bad.

Victims identified in Burlington plane crash
Plane crashed just west of airport.
Walworth County sheriff's deputies have identified the victims in a plane crash Sunday just west of the Burlington airport that killed two people.
Authorities said Todd Parfitt, 50, of Antioch, IL, and his 14-year-old daughter Nicole died in the crash. Both occupants were ejected from the plane when it crashed.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the single-engine Grumman AA1 crashed while trying to land just before 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
Lunsford said the Burlington airport has no control tower, and the pilot was not in contact with air-traffic controllers when the plane went down in a cornfield. It appears the pilot was attempting to land at the airport when the plane when down.
FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford says it's not immediately clear where the flight originated.
The National Transportation Safety Board will be in charge of the investigation and FAA investigators were en route Sunday evening.

I have pneumonia and the LO has a cold & ear infection. I am still bf'ing, but I have concerns about the meds I am taking. Which are
Amoxicillin 875mg, which as far as I found is safe.
Erythromycin (erythrocin) 500mg, This one is secreted into the breast milk by half of what I take. Which I'm not comfortable with, they say there is no adverse effects reported but that one worries me.
Prednisone 10mg, I take this for only 3 days, but I am still not comfortable with it.
Then I have an inhaler (proair albuterol) 200 puffs. This one says "Unknown if it is excreted into BM. DO NOT bf while taking this." I've taken 2 puffs since yesterday! I called the pharmacist and she said since I have pneumonia he was probably thinking the benefits outweigh the risk.
Anyone have any clue about these medications? or no where I can find out about them?..
Maybe someone has some experience with having pneumonia while bf'ing.

Jack Russell Terrier2 of 15
By Julie Fishman
These dogs are super-hyper and their owners often are as well, says Sepulveda. Though this guy may appear to be on serious uppers, much like his equally-pumped canine, he's likely just really high on life. If you have trouble getting him to sit and stay like a good boy, we hear he responds quite well to treats.
Labrador Retriever3 of 15
This dog typically attracts an all-American, guy-next-door-type owner. We picture him nonchalantly tossing his pooch a tennis ball and running shirtless, leash in hand. Sure, he may be a tad predictable, given his dog of choice, but when predictable comes with six-pack abs ... we'll take it.
Beagle4 of 15
Snoopy cartoons left out that beagles often have separation anxiety and are known to howl, which can drive the neighbors crazy. But, like a true parent, a Beagle boy loves his furry pal anyway for its sweet demeanor and desire to cuddle and give kisses. And a guy who'll happily submit to smelly dog kisses deserves yours because, like his pooch, he's probably happiest when lounging with loved ones.
Corgi5 of 15
Everything about the Corgi is funny: its big head, its short legs, its often-hanging-out tongue. But this little pooch is feisty, and its owner knows it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that matters most. Sepulveda says a Corgi-owning regular at Centinella is usually just as feisty as his dog.
Chihuahua6 of 15
There's a 90% chance this pooch is leftover from its owner's ex-girlfriend. There's a 10% chance the guy's just got a great sense of humor. Regardless, if he's willing to walk a dainty doggie, he's probably pretty confident in his manhood — and in its ability to win you over. Just approach with a touch of caution: Most Chihuahuas are extremely protective of their owners.
Poodle7 of 15
Let's cut straight to it: If we found out our guy had a fluffy, styled and possibly dressed dog ... well, we wouldn't be thrilled. But, a male poodle owner could in theory just have really bad allergies and love dogs so much that he swallowed his pride and got himself a pretty hypoallergenic pup.
Collie8 of 15
Sepulveda says Collies are extremely disciplined and focused dogs, so we predict that the owner of such a pooch will likely take ladies' mind games and grind them into kibble. If little Timmy goes missing down the well, this is the man you'd pick to rescue him; so if a guy's got himself a Lassie, you may have a lot to live up to as his lass.
Pit Bull9 of 15
Sure, his dog looks like it could tear off a Hummer's tires in mere seconds, but maybe its owner simply doesn't judge by reputation. You could even call this guy a renegade of sorts — out on the streets, trying to give a bad-rap dog a chance at breed redemption. Though, if the pooch wears a spiked chain and hasn't been neutered, his owner may be more ruffian than renegade.
Pug10 of 15
With its breathing issues and some extra chunk, the pug is sort of like the kid you made fun of in elementary school. And a pug owner may be like the semi-popular kid who stuck up for that poor outcast: He sees past slight flaws and loves the adorable way his dog vacuums the floor with his face. Look for a man that is solid and secure, but all mush on the inside.
Mutt11 of 15
A mutt owner is usually laid-back, humble and has a good sense of right and wrong, says Sepulveda. Given his choice of dog, he likely isn't typically into a cookie-cutter woman: He'll actually dig the crooked tooth you're totally self-conscious about, as well as the weird slobbery sound you make when you chew — in short, he appreciates what makes you, you.
Siberian Husky12 of 15
With piercing eyes, a striking mask and fur you could definitely run your fingers through, we're not sure if we want to date the dog or the owner. Since human/dog-dating is frowned upon, we'll settle for this breed's often equally sexy owner: a man who generally spends his time convening with nature.
Saint Bernard13 of 15
A man with a clumsy, drooling dog can't mind getting his hands dirty, especially if it's for someone as big-hearted as his pooch. His dog's desire to please will inevitably rub off on him, creating a guy who'll go the distance for his girl. You just better be prepared to deal with drool, because he'll likely be covered in it ... both from the dog (and, hopefully, over you).
Great Dane14 of 15
While Dane owners can be total attention-seekers, who like to show off their dogs, Sepulveda says that (at the same time) not every guy who has such a canine seeks attention. With such an appreciation for aesthetics, this guy should be a potentially great gift-giver. Or, maybe he really wants a horse, but lives in a one-bedroom — making him both creative and practical.
Bulldog15 of 15
A bulldog man is usually a meat-and-potatoes, football-every-Sunday kind of guy. He's also the kind of guy who may let his underbite-baring, kinda-funny-looking dog grab Cheetos straight from his mouth. One might find that a bit gross — or totally endearing.

History of the Peace Corps in Jamaica
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.
See also:
The Peace Corps was first asked to work in Jamaica in 1962, and Volunteers worked in cities, towns and the countryside as teachers, agricultural extensionists, health educators, and rural development workers. In the mid-1970s, Volunteers were assigned to schools, hospitals, health clinics, and other government ministry offices as teachers, nurses, and loan officers.
The most recent shift in approach to development was conceived in 1989 and is now a reality. Current assignments are part of a uniform plan that has a significant community development core. While each project plan has specific tasks and skill requirements, Peace Corps/Jamaica assignments generally involve facilitating the growth and development of communities and their members in a way that empowers them to make and carry out better decisions about their own lives. Not all Volunteers are placed in small rural communities. Sites also exist in small towns, peri-urban centers, inner cities, and tourist cities such as Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios. No Volunteers are assigned to Kingston (the capital) or Spanish Town.
An age-old dilemma in development work involves charity and dependency versus facilitation and empowerment. It has been—and still is—easier to give and to "do things yourself" than to be the facilitator and help others to grow and learn on their own. But such charity-based practices have proven to be short-lived, unsustainable, and not desirable in many developing countries, including Jamaica. Therefore, you will learn how to build capacity and empower people to improve their own living conditions, thus making development more fulfilling and sustainable. A successful development specialist gives ownership of a development or project to the entire community. When everyone strives to reach a common goal, the effort is conceived, implemented, and achieved with a much greater sense of ownership, accomplishment and satisfaction. This sense of ownership by all is the key to success and sustainability when working in community development.
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in Jamaica
More than 3,500 Volunteers have served in this hospitable country of loving and dynamic people struggling for success. Jamaica's population faces the same struggles as those of many other island nations. There are many areas where people still practice subsistence agriculture. Many youth are without jobs or lack the skills to contribute to the development of their communities. In addition, a wealth of biodiversity exists in the country, and protecting its valuable natural resources, while benefiting from tourism, is essential to Jamaica's economy.
Volunteers are engaged in development work that is essential to the Jamaican people at the grassroots level. They are working to conserve natural resources, to promote hygiene and healthy living, helping to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic, to promote information technology and small business, and to help youth gain the skills and education they need for their future.
Peace Corps/Jamaica has three primary sectors or projects: youth as-promise, community environmental health, and environmental awareness. All three sectors/projects are fully integrated with small business and information and communication technology (ICT). These two cross-cutting areas are critical to all Peace Corps projects in Jamaica and more generally to the development of the country. All Volunteers are trained in basic small business development, HIV/AIDS prevention, and ICT instructional techniques. They are able to integrate ICT into their projects as appropriate and to train counterparts and community members in ICT integration.
One of Jamaica's primary concerns is marginalized youth, defined as young men and women ages 10 to 25 who are not in school and have few skills or opportunities for employment. In helping the government of Jamaica address these critical issues, the youth as-promise project focuses on youth development, HIV/AIDS education, prevention and support, ICT, and small business development.
Volunteers assigned to "The Green Initiative," or environmental education project, focus on increasing awareness of issues such as solid-waste management and recycling, watershed protection, overfishing, coral reef conservation, and appropriate farming practices. Volunteers work with environmental organizations, schools, and community groups to promote knowledge and skills that will foster environmental conservation.
Waste management and water quality are key issues in Jamaica as the demands of tourism and a large population, coupled with unhealthy practices, pressure the country's water supply. Some Volunteers in community environmental health serve at the national and regional levels influencing policies by government agencies to support the development of sustainable water treatment systems. Other Volunteers serve in rural, peri-urban, and urban squatter settlements, assisting communities in health hygiene and implementing water sanitation projects.

text: when my son turned one and I decided we weren't ready to wean I joined LLL. It was great to talk with other women who shared my view of the importance of breastfeeding. LO turned 3 the end of August. My mom will occasionally make comments and so will my sisters. I just ignore them it help that I am a IBCLC so I know science and research is on my side. My family is not interested in hearing the benefits or that the rest of the world breastfeeds for this long, they say oh well that's third world countries. Even my husband is a convert to the whole idea but luckily he has supported me. Although now he is more actively trying to help me wean. But I am, like JoMo said just taking it one day at a time. Some days he won't even ask for his morning nursing until he's been up over an hour and I hold my breath thinking maybe he'll skip it he hasn't let but he usually eat 2-4 times a day and there's been lots of days where he just nurses once. Once my mom told me nursing a three year old was unheard of and I just stated that I knew lots of women who did (thinking of my LLL) friends. That kind of shut her up she quietly said well I don't.

CNJ staff
PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University has begun the process of finding a women's basketball coach after announcing last week that Dan Buzard's contract would not be renewed for next season.
ENMU athletic director Mike Maguire said Wednesday that a selection committee is being put together. He said several applications have already been received, and anticipates the number of applicants could eventually grow to around 100.
Maguire said the school is seeking someone with previous college experience. While ENMU wants to have someone in place by the end of the semester in May, he hopes it can be done sooner.
"We're trying to get it (filled) as quickly as possible," he said. "We're just looking for a successful coach who can come in and moved the team up a level."
Buzard, who spent the 2004-05 season recovering from a cancerous brain tumor, was 47-63 in four seasons as head coach. A Portales High and ENMU graduate, he spent 17 years coaching in the women's program, the first 13 as an assistant to Wayne Moore.
Buzard led an injury-depleted Zias squad to an 11-17 record this season, including 3-11 in the Lone Star Conference South Division.
Maguire said the school will hire an assistant to replace Chad Walker, who also was not retained.

The Kunstmuseum Basel operates under the legal term "Öffentliche Kunstsammlung Basel". As a public institution it reports to the Erziehungsdepartement [Ministry of Education] of the canton Basel-Stadt. Binding conditions are set up in the Museumsgesetz [Museum Law] of June 16th 1999 and the Verordnung [regulation] of December 19th 2000, in which the collaboration with the Board of Trustees is regulated as well.
The Kunstmuseum works together with numerous foundations, committees and associations and is supported by them in various ways. Some of these the Foundation for the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Friends of the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation and the Im Obersteg Foundation.
Patrons and Sponsoring
The collection of the Kunstmuseum Basel is one of international reputation. The study and development of this collection is one of the most important missions of the museum. Today's museum public, however, not only wants to encounter the permanent collection, but also expects interesting programming such as rotating and special exhibitions to present various aspects of art in a unique manner.
To realize this challenge, we are dependent on the support of private donors. Help us to keep the Kunstmuseum Basel a distinguished museum of international rank in the future to come!

Dear Alexis : I looked into more than six Aussie slang dictionaries and could not find Sao. When I finally found it, I fell down dead cause the gaddam bitch had a left-hand thread.
"He's got a gob full of Sao and Vegemite." I've heard of Vegemite. But still don't know what Sao is, outside of Portuguese São for "Saint".

I don't think anybody's mouth is big enough to hold a heart.
Well, they say your heart is about the size of your fist, and I knew a guy who could fit his entire fist in his mouth. (Great party trick, but much funnier if you're drunk!) Therefore he might be able to have his heart in his mouth.
I'm more familiar with the throat version, personally.

Heart in my throat
Same hear, I've only heard heart in my throat. It is also an expression that is used in French "J'ai le coeur dans gorge).
In French we also have two expressions that look similar but mean entirely different things:
J'ai mal au coeur = My heart hurts = I feel like throwing up
J'ai un mal de coeur = My heart hurts = I have a heart ache (as relating to love)

Sorry, Bill, I seem not to have seen this when you originally posted it!
A Sao is a dry biscuit - like Saladas or Cruskits (although they might both be Aussie too...) - which were a staple when I was a kid (think I'll have to go and buy some, now I think of it). Here's a link: http://www.arnotts.com.au/Biscuits/OurBiscuitss.asp?BID=42#
(I hope that works) They're about 7cm square, which means that fitting one in your mouth is an effort! And they've got little holes poked in them, like a chess board I guess, so if you have Vegemite (dark brown in colour) and butter on it, and you squeeze the two Saos together as a sandwich - you get worms coming out! Well, it was fun when I was 8...

Bittersweet end to a wretched season at PNC Park
It's been a while huh.
Sorry folks a full senior year of college schedule on top of two jobs really weighs ya down. I'm sure I'm dissapointed than most of your readers by my lack of entries but theres just not any time.Plus the obvious fact that the Pirates haven't given me much besides a 55-100 season, there just isn't much to talk about.
That is, until Sunday.
It was my first Fan Appreciation Day in quite sometime. The PNC Park schedule ran dry on Sunday as the Astros and Bucs did battle for the final time in PNC Park for 2010. It was my first season finale ballgame since 2000 when Three Rivers Stadium closed its doors.
Sunday morning began with a bang.
They don't call it the Jewel on the North Shore for nothing. Nestled beyond the trees across the Allegheny River it really is a spectacle to behold. For the next 3-4 hours I would be sitting in my summer home for the final time this year. It chokes me up now and I did lose it when I entered the gates for the final time.
I met my good friend Erin for the game. She's an awesome girl who shares my intense love for the team that has sustained 18 straight losing seasons. We have shared many memories together this season, many stemming from past experiences we have been through throughout the years. Thats what makes the Pirates and baseball in general so beautiful, the memories you gain with every pitch. But so much in the experience deals with the people you are with and the atmosphere in the ballpark. She gets that feeling too, rare for college kids in our area.
Entering the stadium was really one of the most memorable and defining moments of the day. Remember what song I heard as I entered the gates on opening day in April?
Probably not, it was John Fogerty's Centerfield. The baseball gods must have been looking down (they have a lot this season for me) because I heard it again Sunday. Crazy how these things work.
We took are seats four rows behind the Pirates dugout. How much did we pay? 15 each, on stubhub.com. Some seats were going as low as 45 cents on the website.
Just let that soak in. People who saw games at Forbes Field payed more than that for the worst seats.
Many players were signing before the game, very close
to first pitch too. Quite uncharacteristic but I guess you gotta pull out all the stops on Fan Appreciation Day.
I got tears in my eyes as the team ran out. And let the waterworks flow after the top of the first when there was a highlight video put to many highlights from the year. Believe it or not, there were a lot. Including the best sports moment I've ever experienced on August 8th when Pedro Alvarez went deep in walk off fashion.
Being so close was beautiful. Perfect way to end the season.
Only a win could make it more satisfying.
Hey, hey whatayasay! Raise the Jolly Roger for the final time in 2010 at home.
Great win but with 179 more days to go before I will be back in this place leaves a lump in my stomach. Its hard to fathom that there will be no more road trips to Pittsburgh for a baseball game for quite sometime.
It's sad.
However, the festivities of the day did not end there.
Throughout the game lucky fans were picked to come on the field and recieve the game worn jersey of each player. Quite the honor especially if you were drawn for Pedro Alvarez's, Neil Walker's, Garret Jones' or Andrew McCutchen. Chris Resop, Pedro Ciricao or Joe Martinez? Not so much, still quite the honor. They also drew names for Tv's, Blu Ray players, gift cards to many places and air fare for too. Unfortunately neither me nor Erin were so lucky. She did however grab a piece of Pirate memorobilla right from the sky, literally.
She nabbed a hat thrown by pitcher Ross Ohlendorf. It was a nice snag!
After watching many little kids and their families run the bases after the game we finally decided it was time to leave. We were one of the last to leave the park, it felt good to close up shop. We just needed to get our moneys worth until next April. We then had a great dinner in Oakland, home of the University of Pittsburgh. Much to my dismay, it really isn't that bad of an area. I always listen to John Denver's Country Roads though to salvage my West Virginia roots. It was a great Autumn day in the 'burgh.
But, speaking of April, it really isn't that far off, is it?

Wait – $15 for a seat behind the dugout? I'm sure your finale at the ballpark was bittersweet and it's hard to believe the season's almost over. But as you said, April will be here before we know it.
wow – $15, you cant get food for that at the bank, well delivered to your seat anyway… regardless of how a team does, that last game when you know you have at least 5 months before another sighting of a player is always sad….
It doesnt matter if your team is good or not…it is always a good day at the ballpark. AND there is always next year.
You're singing my song dude. For me, there is no bad day at the park. The team might be doing badly, but being at the park is magic.
Man, I sure hope they do something about how awful they are. Pedro looks to have some promise, but the pitching staff… man, it's not good for baseball for the Pirates to be so bad. Next year, Matt. On the horizon!

11 NCAA Div. III individual championships
PELLA—Central College's Morgan Darrow has been named the Iowa Conference field events performer of the week for women's track and field.
Meanwhile pitcher Rhianna Fleetwood (junior, Sycamore, Ill.) was recognized as the league's female athlete of the week and designated player Abbey Strajack (freshman, Davenport, Assumption HS) was cited as the softball position player of the week. The 4x400 meter relay was named for track events in men's track and field.
Darrow strengthened her chances for a bid to the national meet Saturday, posting a season's best shot put mark of 45-7.75 at the Monmouth (Ill.) Inv. She placed second in the event and narrowly missed the school record (45-8). The mark ranks sixth in Division III. Darrow also won the hammer throw with a toss of 170-8.
Fleetwood pitched two shutouts against regionally ranked teams and posted a 3-0 record at the Iowa Conference tournament. She threw a two-hitter in a 2-0 win against Simpson College Thursday, then came back to pitch 14 scoreless innings Saturday in victories over No. 4 Luther College and No. 19 Coe College. Fleetwood allowed 13 hits in 21 innings of work. She walked two and struck out 10 as the Dutch captured their first league tournament title since the tourney was restarted in 2006.
Strajack delivered the walk-off single in the tournament championship for the 2-1, 8 inning victory over Coe. She went 3-for-5 in the contest and finished the week with four hits in 16 at bats, hitting .250.
The foursome of Kyle Wood (senior, Newton), Trevor Veach (senior, Grinnell), Alex Edwards (freshman, Knoxville) and Allen Scovel (senior, Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) won the 4x400 relay in 3:14.33. The time ranks seventh in Div. III and increases the quartet's chances of reaching the national championships. The top 20 marks are accepted to the meet.

Yay Pettit! The lack of Mark Sweeney makes me a little sad though (as noted earlier in the season, that guy just can't seem to get any credit). I think I'd replace Bobby Wilson with him.
Meant Matt Sweeney, not Mark.
Pettit made the list after Warner Madrigal was inadvertently let go as a free agent.
As for Sweeney, I generally tend to give more weight to players higher in the system unless they really have a high ceiling, e.g. Jordan Walden. Sweeney's numbers were okay but he's not yet Top 10 material. After he hit .349 in April with only 1 HR, over the next three months he hit only .239 with 13 HR. That suggests to me he got homer-happy instead of just trying to make contract, drive the ball and let the homers come naturally.
Bobby Wilson will probably be a #2 catcher in the big leagues with the Angels; I'd put him roughly in the Bengie Molina category, some potential to step up into a #1 role if the bat improves enough to play every day and there's an opening. As noted above, I'll give more credit to a guy knocking on the door than someone down the block. I've seen too many kids with lots of tools not make it for one reason or another, so in recent Top 10s I tend to go more towards the sure thing.
Good points Stephen..but you never look at age vs league. Sweeney's still 19 and playin A ball. Take a look at Bobby Wilsons numbers at A ball..by the way he's 21 and Sweeney beat him in most categorys. Singles,doubles,triples and homeruns. Bobby did beat him by 8 points in average. By the way in a earlier Kernel's broadcast Eric Owens the hitting hitting coach was interviewd,he'd been working on his power to the gaps and homerun power…maybe grooming the younger players to fill the void of homerun power that the Angels are missing…
While I'm on a roll… you say you give more weight to players higher in the system unless they have a high ceiling. In 2006 you named Conger in your top 10., when SWEENEY BEAT HIM IN ALL MOST EVERY CATEGORY in rookie ball . I love Hank and i do wish him the best but guys do your homework.. he missed half of rookie ball due to an injury, injured twice this year in Cedar Rapids and then again in instructs. If you average Conger and Sweeney's first two seasons don't you think Sweeney(thank god, you put Pettit in) deserved one of those years… Granted Sweeney's defense needs work but so does Conger's. Sweeney's learning a new position and both boys will develop.
In Stephen's defense on that nosibro, Hank is a better prospect than Sweeney, even if his bat's a little worse, by sheer virtue of the fact that he plays catcher, a relative offensive void, rather than 3B, where players are expected to be better on offense.
Still though, it's also true that Sweeney has been a lot more durable than Conger. With Conger now missing almost half of two consecutive seasons, it's a bit of a concern.
I think their next year at Rancho should be a lot of fun to watch. The good hitting prospects always seem to put up big numbers there, and with two of them it could be another Kendrick/Wood type of domination.

18th @ Richmond
Regardless of what any other driver does, Tony will clinch a spot in the Chase if he finishes 18th or better at Richmond this Saturday. The only one that can really catch him and knock him out is BK. Denny is about 40 points back, and with the S&P cars, it will be almost impossible for him to move up that much into 10th. So even if BK wins the race and leads the most laps, as long as Tony finishes 18th, he is in.

Nostalgia is worth quite a bit of currency for Blizzard, as we've seen from Thursday's announcements concerning the 10th Anniversary celebrations. As I prepare to take a break from actual Podcasting I'm not stopping the process however, anything but. In fact, part of the reason for taking a break is so I can start preparing for a project that I've been planing for a while now, and which I think it's high time to share with you guys and at the same time ask you for help. My forte has always been sound, and as a result I've decided to launch a Project which is nothing at all to do with me and absolutely EVERYTHING to do with you, and the memories you have of World of Warcraft over the last 10 years.
Hence the 10 YEARS :: 10 QUESTIONS project was born, and I need your help to make it a reality.
What's this all about, I hear you ask? Well, it is very simple: I want to ask AS MANY PLAYERS AS I CAN FIND the same ten questions about their time in Warcraft. The more responses I get, the easier it will be to build a balanced and comprehensive picture of what matters to players after a decade: what they remember, what Warcraft has given them as an experience and most importantly the legacy of the game for players as we move into the NEXT ten years of Warcraft's life. That means getting the word out everywhere: social media, other sites, and I'm not just looking for current players either. I'm attempting to contact ex-players too for their responses because this isn't just about the people who remain, I grasp that those who have left have as much to say on this as the existing playerbase.
Without further ado, let's give you the 10 questions that matter:
1. Why did you start playing Warcraft?
2. What was the first ever character you rolled?
3. Which factors determined your faction choice in game?
4. What has been your most memorable moment in Warcraft and why?
5. What is your favourite aspect of the game and has this always been the case?
6. Do you have an area in game that you always return to?
7. How long have you /played and has that been continuous?
8. Admit it: do you read quest text or not?
9. Are there any regrets from your time in game?
10. What effect has Warcraft had on your life outside gaming?
You can be as brief or verbose as you wish, that's the wonder of words as a medium. What matters most to me are YOUR stories, and how Warcraft has changed the way you have not just played the game, but come to look at yourself.
If you wish to use these questions as a basis for a blog post, PLEASE DO SO, and ensure you link the post to this post so I'll be able to use your answers as part of my Source Material. Please also indicate whether you'd be prepared to be interviewed in person for the Podcast (see below.) I'll also happily accept video responses, poetry, Reddit, Tumblr, and pretty much every point in-between if you have an original way of getting these questions answered. Just let me know where your responses are so I can see them!
I'm hoping that by word of mouth and reputation I'll be able to grab enough responses from people across the massive range of player base to make this a really significant exercise and to produce a series of Podcasts that people can come back to in years to come as a lasting legacy of what Warcraft has contributed to the Gaming Community. That will depend on YOUR contribution. Please spread the word, ask your friends and most importantly take part yourself, because EVERY ANSWER MATTERS, and I will read every single one to make this the best set of Documentaries I can produce.
The rest now is up to you.
Thank You for taking part :D

After Thanksgiving comes the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday. And small businesses in our area hope to not be overlooked.
Wettstein's, for example, has had its black Friday prices on display for a few days now and expects its prices to be competitive. "The manufacturer's are the ones who come out with the deals, and they come out with those deals and whether they're for independent dealers like ourselves or if they're the chain stores," said owner Dan Wettstein.
Downtown La Crosse stores are also looking forward to Small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday.
It's a way to draw people away from the big box stores to enjoy the local shopping experience. "You get to get away of the huge crowds of sale-driven shoppers and actually enjoy your shopping experience," said Allison Krzych of Kick Shoes.
"It's more about the ambiance downtown and like Allison said, enjoying your time," said Andrea Poukey, also from Kick.
This will be the third year for Small Business Saturday.

When your pg is taking more shots than your stars there is a issue there.
Amare thrived last year because he played center and we surrounded him with shooters who can stretch the ball as far as the 3 point line. Melo is not some lethal 3 point shooter like Gallo was and Amare cant spread the floor to the 3 point position like Wilson chandler did. I think Dantoni is trying to mimic what he had with Felton and the former knicks squad we had where we move the ball around and try to play the p&r game, but thats just not Melo's game & when he misses these shots you scratch your head like how can he miss those. Melo is not a spot up shooter he is a iso player & has always been just that now your asking him to move the ball around and let Lin set him up and stripping him from his strengths, but when Lin fails to set him up he's in a situation where he has to take a bad shot.
We need to either build a iso team around carmelo.
Build a MDA team which means SOMEBODY has to go.
I really cant see us going anywhere far with both Melo&Stat they show flashes of making it work but not consistently enough to make any championship runs. they both need the ball in the same certain spots which makes it arguably easier to guard our offense. Chandler packing up the paint does not make it easier offensively and then you have fields who is a terrible outside shooter.
We were on a winning streak when Amare & Melo were out not just because of the hustle but because it had the pre melo trade knicks feel where the ball moved around smoothly which favors Bumtoni's style. Like i said he is lost when Amare&Carmelo are on the floor at the same time.
Add that with our stars not knowing how to play with Lin and you just create more issues as we see now on this losing streak.

Where the real money is made
- 7:54 pm Saturday, October 13th, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
There's an old joke about making money that old-timers on Wall Street used to tell that goes like this: "If you want to make $1 million start with 5."
It's been over 30 years since I first heard that in-house joke and while it's one that most brokers would probably never share with their clients, many investors know the ugly truth in that one-liner only too well.
The search for making money can be something of a god-awful one. Between the highs and the lows of the markets, the ins and outs of investment strategies and most importantly—how our thinking influences our [More]

SolidEnergy Systems
The Polymer Ionic Liquid (PIL) lithium battery combines the safety and energy density of a solid polymer lithium battery and the high performance of a lithium‐ion battery. The battery developed by SolidEnergy achieves high energy density that works safely over a wide temperature range, which makes it ideal for electric vehicles and consumer electronics where both energy density and safety are essential. The PIL battery would also be successful in oil and gas drilling applications where the ability to recharge, store, transport, and perform at both very low and very high temperatures safely is mission critical.
The PIL lithium battery dramatically improves both the safety and energy density of rechargeable batteries. Our PIL battery safely operates from −40 °C to 250 °C, and has the potential to provide 4X the energy density of today's best-in-class EV lithium-ion batteries. This technology originated at MIT through the founder's PhD research and has resulted in two patents (one issued and one provisional). SolidEnergy is pursuing exclusive licensing with the MIT Technology Licensing Office for these patents.
The core technology of the SolidEnergy PIL battery is a novel electrolyte and solid polymer coated lithium metal anode. The electrolyte combines ionic liquid and liquid polymer to provide both the safety and wide temperature capability required for advanced batteries, while the solid polymer coated lithium anode dramatically boosts energy density and cycle life. Additionally, our PIL battery promises to drastically reduce high performance battery costs on a dollar per kWh basis by leveraging existing manufacturing processes, allowing SolidEnergy to take advantage of the massive battery manufacturing over-capacity in the industry.
SolidEnergy's Intellectual Property (IP) strategy focuses on the electrolyte, anode, interface, packaging, and processing of the battery. The majority of battery companies focus on the cathode, a highly competitive environment with fast innovation cycles, where new technologies are quickly eclipsed by each other. SolidEnergy PIL batteries are cathode-independent, but fully compatible with current and future cutting-edge cathodes. This compatibility and cathode-independence allows us to maintain long-term technological leadership over our competitors. As future battery developers push for greater energy density, they must focus on more energy dense anode materials such as lithium metal. However, lithium metal has safety and compatibility issues with existing electrolyte technology. Our electrolyte technology solves these issues and will be a key enabler for future battery technologies.
Radiator Labs developed a low-cost, easily installed radiator retrofit that converts radiator heating systems into a controlled-zoned system, which significantly increases the efficiency of radiator heating while improving occupant comfort.
Navillum Nanotechnologies developed a process to fabricate quantum dots and other types of semiconducting nanocrystals. When used in liquid crystal displays (LCD), quantum dots improve energy efficiency by up to 35 percent and in solar panels can increase efficiency up to 45 percent.
Mesdi Systems developed revolutionary equipment for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and other high precision products that will improve their performance and lifetime with advanced coatings and quality control.

Well ENT says no tongue tie but had never even heard of a posterior tongue tie so that doesn't seem very convincing! And they don't separate upper lip ties at all so no go there anyhow. Grrrr. Very, very frustrating. Have a name of a doc in the area that does tongue ties so am going to call them tomorrow to see if they know anything about posterior tongue ties and if they clip upper ties. If not, I think I will let it go. I'm not even convinced he has a tongue tie and the upper tie may or may not be a problem. For my sanity I can't stay obsessed about this, you know? I'm pumping to supplement and he is starting to grab at my food so maybe solids are close and I can feed him lots of avocado!
Both DS and DD have upper lip ties. I have not had latch issues with either one. DS's resulted in a gap between his front teeth. DD just starting teething on top so we will see. I asked both our pediatrician and pediatric dentist about them, and neither was really worried. The dentist said that DS's will need to be cut before his adult teeth come in to help with alignment, but otherwise it is not a problem.
BTW, both my mom and I had the same problem. We both had our lips corrected when we got braces.

In a surprising move, the Sullivan County Legislature voted six to three on December 15 to reject the budget they have spent months working on. The legislators did not come up with a new budget by December 20; therefore the tentative budget, which was submitted by county manager David Fanslau on November 16, automatically became the adopted budget.
As a practical matter, it would not have made a great deal of difference if the legislature had approved the final budget because there are few differences between that and the tentative draft. However, one significant difference is that the $25,000 for Sullivan Alliance for Sustainable Development, which last week was inserted into the proposed final budget, will now not be available. There is a possibility that the newly elected legislators may decide to re-fund the group after the new board takes office in January.
The budget had come under criticism in recent weeks because it dips into reserve funds to the tune of more than $6 million, leaving very little reserves for the new legislature, which will have six new members.
The existing legislature had given the county manager direction that the budget should be created without surpassing the Albany-mandated 2% property tax cap, without cutting services and without laying off any county employees. With those parameters, the only option left was to dip heavily into reserves.
The existing legislature had given the county manager direction that the budget should be created without surpassing the Albany-mandate 2% property tax cap, without cutting services and without laying off any county employees. With those parameters, the only option left was to dip heavily into reserves.
The reasons the legislators gave for voting down the budget were varied. Legislator Jodi Goodman, chair of the Management and Budget Committee, said the reason she was not voting in favor of the budget was because "It has come to my attention that some of the newly elected and some of the existing legislators want to blame me for the budget; I want to remind the public, I'm one of nine."
Lawmaker David Sager, who has been advocating that legislature override the 2% property tax cap with a supermajority vote, said it was probably a mistake that lawmakers voted for no tax increase in 2011 as opposed to a modest one.
Lawmaker Ron Hiatt said he had been considering voting against the budget as a way of making a statement, but he said instead he decided simply to make the statement. He also said he opposed the 2% property tax cap. He added, "We're about to spend down the little reserves that we have, feel bad for the new legislators coming in."
Lawmaker Leni Binder said she was going to vote against the budget because that was the will of the new legislator who will be replacing her, Gene Benson.
In the end, Binder, Sager, Goodman, Frank Armstrong, Elwin
Wood, and Kathy LaBuda voted against the budget, while Hiatt, Alan Sorenson and county chairman Jonathan Rouis voted in favor.
Rouis reacted to the vote with visible frustration and urged his colleagues to work with him over the next five days to come up with a budget they can support. He said, "It's a fundamental responsibility of this board to adopt a budget. (This vote) is a copout, it's not doing your job; it's not doing the people of this county any service sitting here voting no and allowing the tentative budget to move forward. Step up and do your jobs."
