Cadets pick up pace, beat SpartansBy Tom Haley
Staff Writer | November 17,2013Albert J. marro / Staff PhotoS
Norwich kick-off returner Tyrstan Colaire (81 in photo at top) sprints to the outside during Saturdays game against Castleton State in Spartan Stadium. The Cadets won 31-13. Below, Castletons Elias LaCount (32) sprints toward the goaline after shaking off Norwichs Stephen Gilmore.CASTLETON There must have been some soul searching, spiced with a little fire and brimstone, in the Norwich locker room at halftime with the Cadets trailing Castleton 13-7. The Cadets outscored Castleton 24-0 in the second half for a 31-13 victory in the annual Maple Sap Bucket Game on Saturday at Spartan Stadium.
We challenged the seniors, Norwich coach Mark Murnyack said. We didnt think we played particularly well in the first half and we were only down by six points.
Credit Castleton. They played hard. We knew they would. Its a rivalry.
The Spartans were still very much in the game late in the fourth quarter, but then linebacker Andy Mangin changed everything. The Cadets were clinging to a 17-13 lead when he intercepted Castleton quarterback Tyler Higley and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. When Wes Medeiros added the point it ballooned the lead to 24-13 with 5:57 remaining.
Lightning really does strike twice. Mangin, who never had an interception all year, picked off Higley again with 4:49 remaining and legged it 37 yards to a score. Two picks. Two touchdowns for the junior in less than a minute. Game over.
On the first one I knew that a slant was coming and I kind of read the quarterbacks eyes and then I took it to the house, Mangin said.
Mangin explained the halftime deficit saying, We came out a little flat.
They were not flat on the opening series of the game. They marched 65 yards to a score. Al Georgio capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run and Medeiros kicked the point, giving the Cadets the lead just 1:43 into the game.
The Spartans closed the lead on a 22-yard field goal by Robert Lineberger.
The Spartans took that 13-7 lead into halftime after Higley scored from a yard out and Lineberger knocked another field goal, this one from 27 yards.
After the Cadets went down the field so easily on the games opening possession, the Spartan defense stiffened. They turned the Cadets away on one drive when Leo Audy recovered a fumble on Castletons 6-yard line.
But the second half was all Norwich and it began with a 28-yard field goal by Medeiros.
Quarterback Keyen Foley, who was the centerpiece of the Cadet offense, had a 10-yard TD run that put the Cadets in the lead.
Mangin did the rest.
Foley, a junior from California, did not become the starter until the third game of the season. He riddled the Castleton defense as the games leading rusher with 159 yards on 22 carries. Georgio added 112 yards on 24 carries and tied the program record with his 17th touchdown of the season.
Foley has been the starter for eight games now and he keeps getting better, Murnyack said.
It was with great joy that Norwich captains Luis Delgado and Ethan Hanks went out to midfield to receive the Maple Sap Bucket from Castleton Athletic Director Deanna Tyson. The Cadets lost the Bucket last year for the only time in the five-year series.
U-32 graduate Elias LaCount grew up watching the Cadets play football and playing against them has special meaning for the Castleton running back.
I watched Norwich as a kid. I was playing against my childhood idols, LaCount said.
It means a lot, Castleton linebacker Mick Wong said of the game. Vermont isnt known for football so to be able to play in a rivalry like this is important to us.
A couple of years ago Wong, now a senior, went to the coaching staff and offered to help the defense by moving from running to linebacker.
He has been a mainstay and leading tackler of the defense ever since. He had eight tackles and a pass break-up on this day.
Its been fun for me. But I will always be a running back at heart, Wong said.
Norwich linebacker Matt LeFevre was disruptive to Higley and his offense all day. He had a game-high 15 tackles along with a pass break-up.
And his fellow linebacker Mangin was immense. He did much more than make his two game-changing picks for touchdowns. He also had 11 tackles with two sacks.
Todd Carr led Castleton in tackles with 13 and Audy, a Mill River product, had 12 tackles, his fumble recovery and two quarterback hurries.
Four interceptions marred Higleys performance but the freshman from Brattleboro did throw for 208 yards while completing 20 of 47 passes. His top receiver was Kevin Alberque who again brought the crowd to its feet with scintillating moves and hard-earned yards after his catches.
Dan Gogan had the other two interceptions of Higley.
It was a big win for Norwich as it enabled the Cadets to finish the regular season at 7-3 and put them in line for an ECAC Bowl game. The Cadets are likely to learn of that on Monday.
We were flying, Mangin said of the Cadets second-half showing. We definitely turned it around. Everyone stepped up.
Castleton finishes the season at 1-9.

K.C.'s Comet
Like Halley's and Hale-Bopp, every great once in a while a comet will pass through the Kansas City Royal's universe, causing the hapless west Missouri team to be relevant, if only briefly.
Such cases have been well documented: In 1985, Don Denkinger handed the World Series Championship directly to the Royals. Some twenty years later, Hall of Famer George Brett revealed to the world his celebratory penchant for soiling himself.
And now, in 2009, Royals ace Zack Greinke hopes to snatch the Cy Young Award from big name, big money pitchers from big markets.
When Greinke wins on Tuesday it will be an historic event. For the first time ever in the history of the franchise, the Royals will be relevant for something other than a bunch of s***.
And that, dear readers, is called crawling out of the gutter… where they will quickly return to on Wednesday.
Hate me 'cuz I prey on the weak, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I think he'll win too, but I wouldn't exactly be crushed if they gave it to CC.
Jane, I feel ya. C.C. has a case for it though, fair and square. This kid is the glamorous pick.
Mariners aren't exactly big market.
Ohhh, so you mean… there's a team in west Missouri? It doesn't just consist of Zack Greinke? Huh… who knew?
Congratulations to Greinke!
And I had never seen that youtube on George Brett! Although I could have done away with all the detail.. ewwwk. No wonder all the guys were trying to get away from him.
XCICIX — Fair enough. I was talking about the Yankees and Tigers though.
Emmy — Jury's still out if they should be called a "team" or not. There is one star in West Missouri. He's the only one…. unless you count Jayhawks basketball… but then again, that's in Kansas.
Emma — Gross, isn't it? So sick and yet so funny… hahaha.

(Bluefield)— Bluefield State College Associate Degree Nursing students recently put together personal hygiene kits and blankets for residents of the Mercer County Fellowship Home in Bluefield. The project was coordinated by Sheri Winfree, a BSC nursing graduate and an AmeriCorps volunteer.
The Mercer County Fellowship Home provides housing and rehabilitation services to adult males recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. It offers a structured environment that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual healing through educational programs.
"The project fulfilled requirements for the Nursing Practicum course, which focuses upon medical surgical, mental health, and maternity issues," explained Sandra Wynn, BSC Associate Degree Nursing program director. "This project helps our students gain greater understanding of, and satisfaction from, volunteerism. It will cultivate their appreciation for volunteerism when they continue in their professional lives as registered nurses in their local communities."
AmeriCorps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent federal agency whose mission is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.

WEDC funding increase may be tied to performance
Any increase in funding for Gov. Scott Walker's premier jobs-creating agency may be held by the Legislature until certain improvements are made.
Budget committee co-chair Rep. John Nygren said Wednesday that the panel was moving ahead with voting on Walker's proposed $14 million spending increases for the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. on Thursday.
But Nygren says the money may be held by the Joint Finance Committee until WEDC enacts certain reforms and installs accountability measures.
Democrats have called for a delay in consideration of WEDC's budget given serious issues raised in a nonpartisan audit last week that showed the agency didn't follow the law, follow its own policies or track millions of dollars it gave in grants and tax breaks.

About a year ago voters approved a $16.95 Million project to build new school facilities.
The existing gym will remain and be remodeled, and the newer building adjacent to the east side of the original high school will be remodeled into science labs.
New buildings will include a lobby, high school classroom wing, middle school classroom wing, library, auditorium, band hall, new gym, locker rooms and weight room.
Steve Sellers, who graduated with the Kenedy High School class of 1968 was one those who came to Kenedy to see the old school one last time.
Sellers said seeing the school brought back great memories from his high school years.
See the April 9 issue of The Karnes Countywide for more details on this story.

February 28, 2012 —
NEW YORK STATE — With two Supreme Court judges ruling last week that municipalities have the right to ban gas drilling and fracking through zoning codes, activists who oppose drilling say now more towns and other municipalities will be emboldened to adopt similar bans.
Ramsay Adams, executive director of Catskill Mountainkeeper, said, "This will absolutely embolden towns to move in that direction. One of the scare tactics the gas industry has been using is to say 'You're opening up your town to the might and brute force of the industries' lawyers.' And the reality is it's perfectly legal" to zone out drilling.
The first case ruled on last week concerned the Town of Dryden, which was sued by Colorado-based Anschutz Exploration Corporation, which had acquired gas leases in the town. Justice Philip Rumsey ruled that the state's Environmental Conservation Law does not pre-empt a municipality's right to zone out drilling.
Bruce Ferguson of Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy agreed with Adams' assessment that the decision would influence the actions of other towns. He said, "The Town of Dryden had a flat-out prohibition specifically against fracking, and every phase of fracking, from storage of materials to be used in fracking to disposal of waste, and the judge upheld all of those prohibitions."
The second decision concerned the Town of Middlefield, in which a landowner who had signed a lease sued the town after it adopted zoning that banned drilling. In that case, too, Judge Donald Cerio ruled that the town had the right to do so.
Thomas West, one of the lawyers who represented the plaintiffs in both cases, is widely quoted as saying that one or both cases will be appealed to the Appellate Court and to the Court of Appeals, if necessary, after that. West said that if the two rulings stand, it would have the likely effect of leading to very little drilling in the Marcellus Shale in New York, because drilling companies will be reluctant to invest huge sums of money without some guarantee that drilling will be allowed to move forward.
Tom Shepstone, a planning consultant and a spokesman for the pro-drilling organization Energy in Depth, expressed confidence regarding the Dryden decision that it would be overturned on appeal. In an article titled "Will the Dryden Turkey Fly?," he responded to a message sent by an individual who was gloating over the Dryden decision handed down by Judge Rumsey.
Shepstone wrote, "He's just plain wrong in my judgment and I fully expect his judgment will be overturned in the appeals process. Who knows, natural gas supporters may even prevail in Middlefield, but it won't matter. Either way, this case is headed to appeal. That much has been known for a long time."
In a later email, Shepstone wrote, "The key point is that
every ban or moratorium enacted to date has been in communities outside or on the fringe of the economically viable portions of the Marcellus Shale region. There are none in communities where Marcellus Shale development is sure to take place. The Community Environmental Defense Council (an organization that has been active in shaping anti-drilling zoning regulations for municipalities) has been precisely targeting those communities for political reasons."

The warmth of a cup of tea; Giving a tea party
As I sat on this beautiful fall day, listening to San Jose speak passionately of her childhood memories growing up in Britain and stories about her relationship with tea, my mind started to wander. I thought about this group of women, who took the time to gather together over a cup of tea, to celebrate each other's company. Discussion was sparked on what brought each of us to the lovely small town of Honesdale. As each tea cup was filled and refilled with earl grey, exotic mint chocolate, or various herbal blends, and sweet treats were passed around, a deep feeling of casual comfort set in. There was talk of our own childhood memories, of being little girls, and having tea parties with our stuffed animals and dolls with the little miniature tea sets many of us had as young children. To me it seemed as if the warmth of the tea extended into a richness of stories and short bits of where life had taken each one of us. As we sat, we began to weave together these small threads and connections in a way that bound us all together…within our community.

Closing Doors, Opening Windows
Silly me. I thought it a sure thing that the World Series would once again feature the Yankees and Phillies. Unfortunately for Fox, I was wrong. I don't think this is quite as much of a ratings disaster as the Tigers and Cardinals but it sure won't be setting any records.
However, Fox needs to find another way to look at this. As the old cliche goes, they need to make lemonade out of the lemons. Or to throw out another cliche, when god closes a door, he opens a window. Sometimes those windows go a little crazy, though:
Happy Monday!
2 Comments
I think Fox will just chalk this up to experience and say we have to fix it next year, with the biggest bail out bank being the biggest sponsor it's all they could afford was Giants vs Rangers….
Fox's biggest problem is losing millions of customers in the NY-LI-NJ-Westchester-Philly area because Cablevision isn't carrying the network! I can't believe they haven't resolved their stupid fight, but as a result so many baseball fans will miss the World Series.

Happy Halloween: Bats!To help celebrate Halloween here are some bats!
The Big Brown Bat, Eptesicus fuscus, is the most common bat in our area. They are easily seen at dusk flying around parks and water sources as they search for their insect food. We're putting up a bat box in the North Campus in hopes that some of these bats will move in.
The Hoary Bat, Lasiurus cinereus, is another species often found in L.A. This specimen was collected at the Museum on the cafe patio a few years ago.
Last but not least here's the ghost-like Pallid Bat, Antrozous pallidus. Even though this species of bat is rarely found in the urban core, it is found in the desert regions surrounding Los Angeles....

The dovetailed, high-visibility 3-dot sight system is made up of a windage-adjustable rear sight and a fixed front sight. Numerous safety features are in place including an internal lock, a manual safety, a magazine safety, and a loaded chamber indicator, which provides visual and tactile indication that chamber is loaded. This handgun comes with a 7-round magazine, a nylon zippered case, and the original factory box. Its grips, metal, and bore are all in excellent condition.

"The [secular] sense of right and wrong is so delicate, so fitful, so easily puzzled, obscured, perverted, so subtle in its argumentative methods, so impressionable by education, so biased by pride and passion, so unsteady in its course, that in the struggle for existence amid the various exercises and triumphs of the human intellect, the sense is at once the highest of all teachers yet the least luminous."

Stressed out about losing your home to the historic floods in Colorado? Chill out, man, and smoke a joint.
Organizers of a group opposing a marijuana sales tax ballot question in Colorado handed out free joints to medical marijuana patients and "stressed out recreational users" in Boulder on Monday -- both to promote their cause and as a form of flood relief, The Daily Camera reported.
"Boulder has been victimized by floods," said Rob Corry, who helped organize the event and hopes to defeat the tax question on the November ballot. "We want to bring some flood relief to folks."
Their cause was a popular one.
Group members ran out of ganja shortly after they began handing it out on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, according to the Facebook page for the event.
Colorado legalized the private recreational use of marijuana last fall.
The same group gave out hundreds of free marijuana joints in Denver's Civic Center Park earlier this month, Denver TV station KMGH reported.

A New Haven man was charged with assault and burglary for slashing a man Saturday and stealing his friend's frozen chicken, police said.
Jeremie Jenkins, 23, was arrested after police said they found him running behind a diner.
Police said the victim, Manuel Martinez, 21, had chased Jenkins for stealing from a woman.
The woman explained to police that she dated Jenkins for three days about a month ago and the relationship failed.
Investigators said that Jenkins returned to the woman's home on Adeline Street and became angry with her.
When the woman told Jenkins to leave, he took a DVR, her wallet and a bag of frozen chicken, according to police.
Martinez, who was friends with the woman, pursued Jenkins. That's when officers said the suspect pulled a knife and swung at victim.
Martinez suffered a large laceration to his chest and was found by officers in front of the Columbus House Emergency Shelter on E. T. Grasso Boulevard.
Jenkins was found with blood on him behind the diner, police said.
The wallet, DVR and chicken were found in a nearby dumpster.
Jenkins was charged with first-degree assault, first-degree burglary and sixth-degree larceny.

Set Sail1 of 22
By Brienne Walsh
To celebrate the opening of the 70th Venice Film Festival on August 28, we're taking a gondola ride back in time. Here, our 20 favorite black-and-white moments from the event's early history.
An American in Venice2 of 22
Although the Venice Film Festival has been held annually since 1935, it flew under the radar for many years after World War II broke out in Europe. It was revived in 1945 when American star Gene Tierney teamed up with the French director Jean Renoir to put together a program of screenings.
Wright Idea3 of 22
In 1950, African-American writer Richard Wright made an appearance at the festival for the screening of the film Native Son, which he both starred in, and adapted from his original novel.
Muscle Beach4 of 22
A bearded and brawny Kirk Douglas cemented his image as a heartthrob when he showed up at the Venice Film Festival in 1953 with a roving eye and a tiny Speedo.
Sunny Side5 of 22
In 1952, French beauty Anouk Aimée, just 20 at the time, enjoyed Venice's warm weather.
Balancing Act6 of 22
Silent screen legend Gloria Swanson made quite a statement, dressed as an Indian princess for a costume party at the festival in 1954. The 55-year-old actress made a splash by posing on a pedestal with a champagne glass perched on her head.
The Artist's Way7 of 22
Later in life, Gina Lollobrigida was known as a sculptor and photographer, but in 1956, the Italian actress was considered to be one of the sexiest women in the world. Here, she greets her fans from the terrace of her hotel room.
Bel Canto8 of 22
By 1956, the world-famous soprano Maria Callas had lost a lot of weight, which was widely considered to have damaged the power of her voice—still, she was a magnet for attention at any party she attended.
Lovely Lady9 of 22
Jeanne Moreau, whom the tabloids called "The New Bardot," arrived at the festival in 1958 to promote her film, The Lovers, directed by Louis Malle.
Director's Cut10 of 22
Renowned Austrian filmmaker Otto Preminger, who was in Venice to screen his film Anatomy of a Murder in 1958, was one of many Hollywood legends enthralled by the stray cats that wandered around Venice.
Trophy Wife11 of 22
In 1958, Italian bombshell Sophia Loren won the award for best actress in the festival for the role she played as a mobster's wife in The Black Orchid.

Blond Ambition12 of 22
In 1958, Brigitte Bardot appeared at the festival with then-boyfriend, French singer Sacha Distel, best known for his Academy Award-winning rendition of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."
Sitting Pretty13 of 22
That same year, Bardot took a breather at a party organized by Raoul Levy, the producer of And God Created Woman.
Performance Art14 of 22
Surrealist artist Salvador Dali performed alongside French dancer Ludmilla Tcherina in a clown costume in 1961.
Break Time15 of 22
Julie Christie and Tom Courtenay would go on to become household names after appearing in Dr. Zhivago, but at the Venice Film Festival in 1963, they were just two actors sharing a cigarette break in a hotel lobby.
Coupled Off16 of 22
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton looked the picture of love at the festival in '63—they had begun their romance while filming Cleopatra earlier that year.
London Rain17 of 22
British actress Claire Bloom and her husband Rod Steiger didn't let a little wet weather dampen their mood, as they posed in front of gondolas on the Grand Canal in 1963.
Curves Ahead18 of 22
Italian sex symbol Claudia Cardinale made her first big appearance at the Venice Film Festival in 1957. By 1965, the voluptuous actress was a regular on the scene.
A Family Affair19 of 22
Jane Fonda traveled to Venice with her brother Peter Fonda to promote The Game Is Over, a 1966 film based on a book by Emile Zola that also starred French hipster Roger Vadim.
United Nations20 of 22
France's Anna Karina and Italy's Marcello Mastroianni look less co-stars and more real-life couple posing for a photograph to promote their film Lo Straniero in 1967.
Need for Speed21 of 22
Sean Connery channeled his most famous character, James Bond, at the helm of a speedboat on the Grand Canal in 1967.
French Dressing22 of 22
Although Catherine Deneuve plays a French housewife who works as a prostitute in Belle du Jour, she looked every bit the lady at the 1967 premiere of the movie.

The One Lap of America is winding through the sunshine state and our bright white Challenger SRT8 showed up at the Daytona International Speedway wearing hundreds of miles of road grime. Erich and Adam arrived at NASCARs hallowed ground at 1:30am after an evening run from South Carolina. They got a few winks at the hotel and headed out to the track at 7:30 am.
This stage of the One Lap had the guys making three laps around the high banks of Daytona which included the 24 Hour road course and the oval and infield portions. The 392 HEMI® was able to stretch its legs on the super speedway and hit 166 mph on the straightaway. Erich must have felt like Richard Petty or Buddy Baker driving their winged warriors from the late 1960s and early 70s. The honking HEMI® finished 11th overall and 2nd in class. The boys also did another run with the driving lights rotated 180 degrees for better aerodynamics and clicked off an amazing 168.8 mph. Needless to say, our bone stock Challenger SRT8 was pulling like a freight train in high gear! The attrition rate among One Lap competitors continued as a Porsche GT3RS smoked its clutch and did not finish the event. Its a less than glamorous exit from the infield where they had it strapped down on a flatbed wrecker going through the speedways tunnel.
Our Dynamic Duo had time to give the Challenger SRT8 a much needed bath and pack everything up for the days next stop. They headed 100 miles North to Gainesville Raceway, home of the NHRA Gatornationals. This fabled quarter-mile drag strip surface has seen its share of nitro powered HEMI® Dragsters and Funny Car ground pounders since 1970. Its also drag racing pioneer and former NHRA World Champion Big Daddy Don Garlits home away from home when hes not giving guided tours at his Museum of Drag Racing just down interstate 75 in Ocala.
Now Adam was behind the wheel and had to finesse getting the 392 HEMIs 470 lb.-ft. of torque off the starting line. He only got one shot to put up a good elapsed time on the scoreboards before going into eliminations. With the temperature and humidity climbing and the lack of traction, he was able to run a respectable 13.20. The rest of field also felt the sting of the less than stellar conditions as everyone was at half second off. The bad news is Adam lost in round one of the bracket race but the good news so did the other SSGT2 competitor, no harm no foul. The guys finished 23rd overall and 2nd in the SSGT2 class for the drag racing portion of One Lap.
They departed Gainesville Racing at 8:30 pm and grabbed another pizza – we see a theme forming here. The Challenger SRT8 then headed out the gates of the drag strip towards bayou country and drove 600 miles to Belle Rose Louisiana. They hammered down while dodging Road Cobras, those nasty tire retreads strewn all over the highway courtesy of 18-wheelers. The rugged Challenger took a couple of hits but luckily the front spoiler was still in one piece. They arrived at the hotel at 4:00 am Wednesday and took a two hour nap before heading over to Circuit Grand Bayou.
After Tuesdays event, the Dynamic Duo moved up from 19th place to 15th in overall standings thanks to the Challengers great performance and their talented driving skills. Although their steady diet of pizza and caffeine might have something to do with it!

My OB and I were planning a vbac. We had a tentative date set for a c section (41 weeks 4 days) if I didn't go into labour on my own before that. The c-section date was set because the hospital has a policy of no vbac's after 42 weeks. The c-section was scheduled for a Tuesday and because it was right after easter weekend I had to go in on the Thursday before that (March 20) for an ultrasound. We were both optimistic that I would go on my own before tuesday.
I went into the hospital at 10 am for my ultrasound. I didn't even bring my bag that I had packed for the hospital. I assumed I would be home before noon. Not so. When they did the ultrasound the technician told me that my baby was measuring at 36 weeks and was around 5 pounds. He was quickly labelled as "failure to thrive" and they called in the OB that was on call (which happened to be my OB). After many measurements and countless people looking at the screen, they said "we have to get the baby out, he's not growing"... and that was that. I was brought upstairs to the L&D floor and prepped for surgery. C went home to get my hospital bag and pick up ds1 from school. I was by myself. No one even knew I was in the hospital. I couldn't reach my sister and my best friend was sleeping because she had worked a night shift the night before. I felt defeated. I was going to have another c-section and I really didn't want one. While hooked up to the monitors I began to have contractions. I begged the nurse to give me time to go into labour on my own. The response I got was "your doctor has an opening at 4 for a section, if you don't do it now you'll end up having a section tonight with a doctor that you don't know - they are not going to let you labour all through the night"
Fast forward to about 2pm... I'm still having contractions, but they are about 20 minutes apart and not very strong. By this time, everyone knows I'm in the hospital. My sister and bff are there and we are still waiting on C and ds1. We took a few pictures to pass the time....
4:00pm ... C is dressed in scrubs and I'm getting the spinal. I'm nervous but I know that I'll be holding a baby very shortly. Finally my OB walked in and all of a sudden I'm very calm and happy. We are having a baby today I'm talking to my OB as he is performing the surgery and I'm asking him all kinds of questions. As I feel the tugging and pressure, the doc says "he's no five pounder" and they show him to me briefly, but quickly take him a few feet away. Everything is a blur after that point. I remember they laid him on my chest for what seemed like 30 seconds, and then he and C were gone. As the doc was closing up the incision I was asking questions about ds2. He weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and was pink and healthy I felt such relief. I started joking with the hospital staff about ordering fish for supper the next day because it was good friday... asked my ob to give me a tummy tuck while he had everything opened up... maybe it was the meds...
FINALLY I was in the recovery room...
While in the recovery room I watched this tiny perfect baby inch across my chest on his own and latch on for the first time. It took him 25 minutes to get from where I laid him to my breast. He nursed for 20 minutes before I unlatched him and moved him to the other side (where he nursed for another 20 minutes). He nursed about every 1.5 hours that first night. I didn't sleep, I couldn't. I couldn't stop looking at him.
He has never tasted formula.
He nursed every 2 hours around the clock until he was nearly 2. When I started school in September (he was 29 months) he would nurse in the morning, after dinner and before bed... still waking at night sometimes. I tried night weaning but I honestly sucked at it. So I just let it ride. I figured that he would eventually stop on his own. At some point between then and now he cut down to just bedtime - and 3 months ago (33 months old) he started sleeping through the night without nursing. On his own.
He nursed every night until February 16th. He didn't ask after that. I felt sick. I liked the fact that he weaned on his own, but I wish I had known it was his last time nursing because I would have burned that image into my head.
It's as if he knew what I was thinking because the night before last, March 3rd, he asked to nurse before bed I watched him. I will remember it. He asked again last night, but only nursed for about 30 seconds. He didn't ask tonight.
He will be three years old on March 20 and I'm not sure if he will ask to nurse again or not. I will not refuse if he asks, but I will not offer either.
It's been a great ride and I owe so much to the LLLadies here. I found this site when ds2 was 2 weeks old. My goal at that point was to nurse for 6 months.

Apple, Mellanox, Netflix, Microsoft: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple(AAPL) was a big loser in premarket trading on Thursday, plunging more than 9% as investors balked at the company's fiscal first-quarter results.
The iPhone maker's shares were off 9.67% to $464.31 before market open after Apple's revenue trailed forecasts, earnings per share fell and profit margins shrank.
Apple generated revenue of $54.5 billion in its fiscal first quarter, up from $46.33 billion a year earlier but below analysts' forecasts of $54.73 billion. It earned $13.81 a share, down from $13.87 a year earlier yet above analysts' estimate of $13.47.
The company's gross margin was 38.6% compared with 44.7% in the year-ago quarter.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company, which has been stung by rumors of weaker demand, sold 47.8 million iPhones during the quarter, up from 37 million a year earlier.
Apple was also the most active premarket Nasdaq stock on share volume of 1,214,897.
Mellanox(MLNX) was an even bigger loser, plunging 20% to $41.35 after reporting its fourth-quarter results on Wednesday and delivering weaker-than-expected guidance.
Shares of Symantec(SYMC) , which announced its new strategy on Wednesday, fell 2.98% to $20.82 before market open. Stifel Nicolaus downgraded the company to hold from buy on Thursday, citing limited near-term stock upside.
Research In Motion (RIMM) was another laggard, falling 3% to $16.83. The embattled Canadian handset maker was also one of the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 504,657.
Microsoft(MSFT) , which reports its fiscal second-quarter results after markets close Thursday, was down 0.04% at $27.60 in premarket trading.
Netflix(NFLX) , however, was a massive gainer, rising 39.62% to $144.17 after better-than-expected fourth-quarter results on Wednesday.
The Los Gatos, Calif.-based firm added 2 million U.S. video-streaming subscribers during the quarter and posted a profit of $8 million. Analysts were expecting a loss.
"We added more than 2 million members in Q4 to end the year with over 27 million domestic members," wrote Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, in a letter to shareholders. "Our holiday season was particularly strong, driven by consumers buying new electronic devices, including tablets and smart TVs."
Netflix was another active premarket Nasdaq stock on share volume of 112,535.
F5 Networks (FFIV) , which reported its first-quarter results on Wednesday, was another winner, rising more than 4% after delivering healthy second-quarter guidance.
The Seattle-based firm expects second-quarter earnings between $1.21 a share and $1.24 a share, above analysts' estimate of $1.20 a share.
"It was a decent quarter -- we had 13%
F5 shares rose 4.65% to $103.4 in premarket trading.

The more I view the continuing divisions in our government, the more convinced I become that our basic differences are theological, not political.
The differences are between those who believe in a higher power and those who do not.
I have to be a bit careful with that term. Many -- perhaps most -- of those I define as "functional atheists" are faithful church members who would certainly identify themselves as being Christians. Or Jews. Or Buddhists or Muslims.
But there is a dividing line and here's what I think it is:
Ayn Rand, who lived from 1905-1982, was the author of "The Fountainhead," published in 1943, and "Atlas Shrugged," published in 1957. She also was the principle architect of a philosophical movement called Objectivism, which upholds the rights of individual achievement and makes them the paramount reason for living.
Politically conservative leaders, including Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Ron Johnson, as well as former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, have acknowledged their debt to her philosophy. None of them, so far as I know, would call themselves an atheist.
But atheism is the key to Rand's philosophy. She was a militant atheist who despised altruism and considered Jesus weak (I suppose at this point I might as well confess that, in defining "believer" and "atheist" for this column, I am putting many atheists in the believer category because they embrace altruism).
Here's what her character, John Galt, said in "Atlas Shrugged:" "Man -- every man -- is an end in himself. He exists for his own sake and achieving his own happiness is his highest purpose."
Now, contrast philosophy with this one: "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John: 15:13).
You see that basic philosophical division played out all over the place. There is a deep-seated anger on the part of many Americans that they are taxed to provide assistance to those who don't deserve it, the "moochers," to use an Ayn Rand term. There's a deep-seated anger for food stamps, Medicaid, and the whole premise of the Affordable Care Act, that the government ought to guarantee that everyone has access to decent health insurance.
I doubt that God has any particular position on the merits of the Affordable Care Act. But the idea that the affluent and the fortunate have an obligation to care for the poor and the unfortunate is foundational to virtually every religion.
And the idea that man has no higher purpose than his own happiness is foundational to the idea that there is no power higher than oneself.

God's provision can come in an infinite number of ways. This summer my family experienced God's provision, although at the time we did not see it that way. Looking back we are so thankful that God is always working things out in our lives, even in the trials of life.
Two years ago, my family had a chance to move into a house that would give our growing family more space. I grew up in Florida so I was used to homes that were pretty much the ranch style homes, but my husband grew up in the Midwest and he was used to living in a home with a basement. Our first home purchase in the Midwest was a ranch style house without a basement, but we felt the Lord opened a door for us to move into a different house a couple years after we bought our first home (that is a whole different story).
This new home had a basement and soon after we moved in I understood why my husband loved houses with basements. There was however one thing that I didn't like to hear about homes with basements; they could flood. I heard plenty of horror stories about basements flooding, including one pretty disgusting one from my husband about one of his childhood homes. Even though I knew what could possibly happen to our basement one day, I just put the thought out of my head. My basement flooding was not an option. It happens to others, but it won't happen to my family, I thought. Well, my pie in the sky thinking didn't hold up too long.
This past summer our state was experiencing a rash of super-cell storms. The rain was coming down at a rate of one to two inches an hour. It was a wet mess. What we didn't know at the time was that our sump pump had quit working. My husband starting putting the puzzles pieces together and he told me that he was pretty certain that our basement was going to flood. I was in denial and pretty much was thinking happy thoughts about how the rain would soon stop and we would be safe and dry.
My husband decided to dash to the hardware store to buy a replacement pump. During that time he told me to keep an eye out for flooding. He gave me a quick talk about what to do in case it started to flood, but I still was in denial and didn't really focus in on what he was saying. Once he left, the rain started to pick up and I kept going downstairs to look into the sump pit and make sure the water was not overflowing. On my third trip down to the basement I was shocked to see the water in the pit was at the danger level of overflowing. I called my husband quickly and told him what was happening. He again told me what to do when the basement started to flood, and he said that he was almost home to help me.
After the phone call, I went downstairs and saw my worst nightmare…my basement was flooding. Fast forward (to make the story shorter), my husband came home and he helped lead the family into an action plan of saving as many of our personal possessions as we could. We all sloshed around in water for about 30 minutes until all of our things were on higher ground and safe from the water. Our basement had flooded.
It was a surreal experience in many ways, but even from the very beginning my family could see God working in all the details. We could see God's provisions.
-Our first praise was that our basement was flooded with rain water and not sewer water.
-When purchasing home owner's insurance my husband told me that right before he signed the papers he asked the insurance agent if the policy covered flooding. Well they did have a policy that would cover a sump pump breaking and that is exactly what happened to us. We were covered up to $10,000.
-One of our best friends came to our house the night of the flood (it was almost midnight) and he helped us to install a new sump pump. He was like an angel to us that night because my husband and I were in a state of shock.
-All, and I mean all the people that we had to work with over the next couple of weeks were phenomenal with their customer service (insurance agents and restoration companies).
-Our carpets were totally destroyed, but as far as our personal items we only lost a very small amount of things and they were not anything that could not be replaced.
-The money we received from the insurance policy would end up helping to take care of our family in a time when unexpected financial burdens were placed on our shoulders.
I could go on and list other ways the Lord took care of us through this unpleasant experience, but the most important thing I can say today is that God provides for His children. Many times in life God's provision comes in unexpected ways, but it still is Him providing for us. Today I am reminded to be thankful for God's provision and His goodness, and I encourage you to do the same.

About the Author: Renee Earle serves as Minister Counselor for Public Affairs at the U.S. Mission to the European Union.
Hello from Brussels, the administrative capital of the European Union, and, for many, the heart of Europe. Last night, that heart was broadly given to our new President, Barack Obama.
TV channels across Europe carried the ceremonies, and this morning it was hard to find a newspaper without a front cover carrying the image of the U.S. inauguration. Some papers ran 20 pages of coverage, and "open letters" from Foreign Ministers and school children detailed recommendations and aspirations for a world that can be renewed. From small towns to the European Union's principal institutions, all shared in the significance of the moment. Braine- le-Comte, a small town south of Brussels, gathered its citizens around a large-screen showing of the inauguration in its town square while Jose Manuel Barroso, the President of the European Commission, issued a public statement: "I personally believe that the election of President Obama was a defining, turning point for America. It may now also be an important turning point for the rest of the world."
Both the U.S. Mission to the EU and our "bilat," the U.S. Embassy in Belgium, hosted standing-room-only receptions to view the inauguration. Smilingly enthusiastic, our European guests, like the editorial comment across Europe and Belgian Defense Minister, Pieter De Crem, in his speech at the Embassy event, hailed a new era, a renewal of America and its place in the world. European officials, media, NGO leaders and other friends tried also to focus some attention on the challenges ahead and the great, perhaps unrealistic, expectations for one president, who would have to be "a cross between Gandhi and Superman," but last night the emphasis was on jubilation and hope. This morning, an email from a European think tank contact summed up the feelings, "You may not believe it yet, but America is back."
Joe in Tennessee writes:
This simply goes to show one of the upsides of our many problems: No matter the political views, no matter the economics, no matter the wars, no matter the apparent greed and hypocrisy within our shores:
America is still looked to for HOPE when the lights dim, by the entire world.
Schmetterling in Washington, DC writes:
EXCELLENT BLOG! I've worked in Brussels, my best friends (American) work in Brussels and live in Waterloo (very near Braine le Comte-I know it well-it seems to be an AmEmbassy stronghold-I like it because I like the world "braine"-in the name of the town-which of course is probably an Old French word that no one knows the meaning but I still like to call it "brain" in English)
I was just in Amsterdam two weeks ago, so I enjoy seeing the front pages of the Flemish newspapers-all we can say is, OH HAPPY HAPPY DAY! Een gelukkig gelukkig Dag! Vraiment, un moment historique pour tout le monde!

We never left.

@ Eric in New Mexico -- Some think [and they still attempt to make us believe so] that America "threw in the towel a bit early."
AMERICA is/was here! And, never left the "building."
After all, U.S. and the "founding values of America" is our only hope for a better world!
God Bless and Good Luck to the new Administration!
P.S.: is the cat OK? ..LOL

Find A Grave is an online database of graves with user-submitted obituaries and sometimes photographs of headstones and even the person who is buried there.
"It's almost like Christmas when someone calls and says they appreciate what you've done," Mackey said. "It only takes a couple of minutes to post a picture."
Although posting photos only takes a few minutes, finding them is difficult. Mackey said for every 100 old photographs he finds there might only be one with traceable names and lineages.
Mackey recently came across some photos of Silas Watts Lucas, born Dec. 26, 1852, and died Jan. 13, 1935, and buried in Oakville Cemetery. He said within an hour of posting the photo he received an e-mail back from a descendent in Alabama who said Lucas was his great-great-great-grandfather, and he had never even seen the photos before.
"If you find the family, it would mean to world to the family," Mackey said.
Participation in the website is essentially like a scavenger hunt. Many cemeteries have maps of registered graves, but not all graves are registered. In Oakville Cemetery's case, Mackey said he's not sure if there is an official map.
Mackey said the website claims there are more than 300 registered graves at the Oakville Cemetery, but he's not sure how many have gravestones. About 30 percent of Oakville's registered graves don't have photos, and some of the ones Mackey took photos of recently aren't even registered.
He said he and his family have been working on archiving Oakville Cemetery for the website for the last week or so. He also said one of the goals behind participating in Find A Grave is to get people to write the names of the people in their photos on the back.
"We always think one day we will get around to it, but one day rarely happens," Mackey said.
Mackey was able to find his great-grandfather, William Brennecke, through the website and sees his three years of participation as a way of returning the favor. Since then he has added 11 new memorials, managed 14, added 34 photos, filled six photo requests and collected six grave sites into different groups or "cemeteries."
"I would never have been able to find a picture of my great-grandfather had someone not posted it to the website," Mackey said.
In Mackey's case, adoption made tracing his roots a bit tricky. In other cases, name translations present a bump in the road for researchers such as the name "Charles" being "Carl" in German.
Another challenge Mackey and other Find A Grave participants encounter involves deterioration of gravestones over time due to things like erosion or even to vandalism.
"Very sadly, someone has gone in and destroyed headstones in Oakville Cemetery," Mackey said. "This at least preserves the data and what is there."
There are more than 103 million graves registered to the website so far, and all it takes to add more is a camera, notebook and a bit of luck when looking for old photos to help people from around the world trace back their roots.
"It does take a bit of detective work," Mackey said.

At about 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 26, employees arriving at the Dollar General Store in Goliad found that one of the front glass doors of the store had been broken overnight by someone apparently using a pellet gun or similar weapon.
Investigators found an impact mark on the door from a low-power projectile, which caused the glass to shatter. The projectile did not penetrate the glass and was not found in the parking lot. The vandalism occurred between approximately 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 25 and 7:30 a.m. the following morning.
Anyone with information about this crime can call Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers at 361-362-0206 or 1-877-362-0206.
All calls are anonymous and a cash reward of up to $1,000 is available.

Ron Santo's Hall of Fame Caveat Has Helmet-Hair
6 Comments
L.M.A.O. hilarious, hehe.
You know Jeff, I think you could be a Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert if you wanted.
V – http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com
I can't stand clumsy grifting. This is why I have a certain amount of grudging admiration for Kevin Trudeau; he's such an unrepentant psychopath and stays three steps ahead of the law and STILL convinces people to buy his crap.
Great photo. I'm fixated on the governor's hair, btw. It's worse than Trump's.
– http://janeheller.mlblogs.com
Very funny Jeffy. Maybe when he gets the money for selling the senate seat he can then afford to get his hair styled.
Thanks, V. I promise that my New Year's resolution is to do just that.
Prince, are you comparing me to Trudeau? My mother did the same thing earlier this week.
Jane, 'mos 'def. Couldn't agree more. Have you read the Serbian newspapers? They say it's all a sham — that a Serbian from such a good family could be incapable of such tyranny. Yeah right.
Julia, one can only hope. I like Santo though… so I hope he's not for sale.
age has not been good to Ron How can a pro player let himself get that big. He needs to push away from the dinner table
