2nd set: It looks good but it looks like many of others Dks sets... i think you should try getting another sword, that one doesn't really go well with the set, also... take out that monocule!
3rd set: It looks good (Well the monocule looks good on these set) but the difference between the pants and the chest is way to much
I really need the chest, gloves, and pants to be a bit more yellowish of a tint. Was rocking t10 warrior with t13 warrior shoulders. The belt is t6 warrior. Boots are now t6 warrior as well. ( All recolors or look a likes ) I don't think matching pants, chest, and gloves are open for paladins except for what I have. The hunt is on to finish my black dragon slayer set!
p.s using egan's blaster. Also for image shrinking. One or two large images like this in a post is fine. I guess don't requote someone tho and put your own large image in while requoting? Also if you have a lot of characters or outfits to post, then shrink them. The first page down near the bottom of rules shows how to shrink some image. Hope that helps!
Just started (last week and this week) running heroic ICC 25 man with a few people on my server. So far 3 tokens for the heroic Paladin Tier from ICC but just not using them yet till I have the full set. So going for the Off set pieces for the DK look right now kind of thinking about keeping the shoulders as they are though since I do like the look of them with the set for what I have so far. Boots/Helm are the only 2 things I need left to really finish it up but even with the mogged boots I have now (current Tier healer ones) I like it so far.
Slightly off topic, but does any vendor in game sell the old final pvp set from Cata? Been wanting to get some to mog, but none of the lame vendors seem to have it (yet you can still buy old wotlk crap, what gives?).
Not the most original, but I got lucky one naxx run and I like it.
I'm curious, does anyone know the armor that Exarch Larethor is wearing and if it can be obtained? He's one of the Shattered Sun Offensive NPC's, actually the quest guy inside terrance. It looks similar to the justicar set but its not if you take a look at the shoulders. Being a dranei, personally I think its hard to make a lot of the sets look good, where as they look amazing on human/BE. But that set I just love so if anyone know's I'd appreciate it. Also I see a few NPC's there also wearing hoods and curious if there are any plate hoods that we can obtain or if they are just mail/leather. Thx everyone! Keep looking sexy!
And on the shield - I know. I am so very disappointed. And I can't believe they never made a Silver Hand shield. I mean, they could just make a prettier recolor of the Overlord's Shield.
I'd very much like that in the color scheme of the set I linked earlier. =\
Even more frustrating is how the current shield + shoulders are are perfect hue match for the tabard, yet there's no more pieces of it. The chest/legs/gloves etc. above were as close as I could make it, but the blue-ish trim is clearly off-hue.
I sported this look a while ago, some random guy in LFR thought it was cool (used Verigan's Fist as weapon transmog, but alas, Sha-touched weapon replaced the mace I had), thus I felt like I should show the transmog here:

I was going to post this on the front page but I don't think it'll happen until this is in the works. ( And in a few weeks when I'm back in Alaska. )
So have been looking over the past 180+ pages of creative armor and weapon sets people have used. I've wanted to make some kind of tribute towards most of the unique ones that stand out. I also want to make something highlighting actual sets for plate and going in length for talking about them. I got this idea from roaming the Skyrim Nexus forums-why not just made a youtube thing dedicated to plate transmog? ( Limiting to just paladins was my thought but there is only so much we can do. Opening to plate would be a comfortable step first. Other armor much later if plate submissions run dry. Will start out with paladin stuff first though. )
So! You creative peeps here who have been lovely in this thread, it'll be a good chance to show case your sets if they're chosen. Again, this whole thing is just an idea in the works but I feel it'd be a fun process for a lot of users. Not to mention quiet helpful for others looking for ideas. Seeing an armor set in game and moving is much different than staring at a static image I'd say.
This thread would continue to exist and I plan on updating it with each patch. Think of this just as a fun little side project.

EAST STROUDSBURG, PA — In November 2011, East Stroudsburg Area School District teacher and Shohola, PA native Joe Fluhr was met with a chance of a lifetime—to send a personal belonging into space. Fluhr has been teaching space science to children for nearly a decade. His students learn about aerospace science and exploration and they build and fly their own model rockets. Now, they were going to be a part of the "real deal."
Fluhr, a collector of space memorabilia outside of school, was contacted by a German company that serves that hobby. They mentioned in their letter that they had an association with a Russian cosmonaut and there was a possibility of having a personal item flown to space. Because items belonging to private citizens are rarely taken by the NASA shuttles, let alone a Russian rocket, this presented an extremely rare opportunity.
After discussing this prospect with the students of Leh-man Intermediate, and considering the weight restrictions, Fluhr decided on a toy astronaut Smurf. The Smurf had served as a "test pilot" for the space-related toys he had as a child growing up in Shohola, and Fluhr would stick the Smurf up in a pine tree and stare at it from the ground. Little did he know he would one day see it fly into space.
This same Smurf also flew several times inside a working high power rocket used in his science class demonstrations. The only difficulty was that the cosmonaut agreed to take only flat items such as a photo or letter. An exception would have to be made. After some negotiation—and cleaning off the 30 years of grime from all the years of play—the cosmonaut agreed to take the Smurf, the first toy sent to space, with the Russians.
Knowing he was a science teacher, the Russian and German contacts wanted to do something special for Fluhr's students. They asked him to take photos of all the children in Lehman Intermediate School and arrange them in a collage so their pictures could also go to space. That photo was sent with the Smurf to Germany and passed on to the Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. Once there, it was placed in the personal belongings pack of the cosmonaut and carried to the Russian Space Center at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
After an accident involving the original spacecraft during testing and a two-month delay, a replacement ship was readied to launch on the TMA-04M, Expedition 31 mission. With the children watching NASA TV on May 15, 2012, the Smurf and their pictures were loaded on the Russian Soyuz-FG rocket and blasted into space along with two Russian cosmonauts and an American astronaut to spend 125 days on board the International Space Station orbiting the planet over 2,000 times. Fluhr was in awe, watching the cosmonaut board the ship with his pack, knowing that his stuff was inside of it.
The students spent the summer and fall looking up at the space station, knowing they had something riding on the big, star-like object moving across the night sky at 17,500 miles per hour. After traveling 53,000,000 miles and re-entering the atmosphere at 3,000 degrees, the school's items landed safely in the deserts of Kazakhstan.
After more than a year of waiting, the children recently got the Smurf and photos back, giving them the rare opportunity to see and hold objects that have been to space. These included signed documents and numerous photographs taken by the cosmonaut. Fluhr said his students were absolutely thrilled with this opportunity. "They liked the idea of holding something that had been in space," Fluhr said, "It's not like a museum where you can't touch anything."
The Smurf can be seen along with the children's pictures floating in front of the observation deck window of the International Space Station overlooking the Earth. Fluhr said, "This toy had already been to space many times in a child's imagination. How fantastic is it that this time it really got to go?"
Once his Smurf had been sent to space, Fluhr returned to the pine trees where, as a boy, he had once stuck the Smurf and he thought, "It sure is a heck of a lot higher now."

- Elastic modulus measurements of air plasma sprayed yttria partially stabilized zirconia coatings using laser ultrasonics and indentation techniques
- Author(s)
- Vasquez, D. L.; Kucuk, Ahmet; Lima, Rogerio S.; Senturk, Ufuk; Berndt, C. C.
- Abstract
- Yttria partially stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was atmosphere plasma sprayed on to mild steel substrates. The spray parameters were varied to determine their effects on the elastic modulus of the coating. The parameters were (i) continuous spray vs. paused spray, (ii) bond coat vs. no bond coat, and (iii) cooled vs. not-cooled. The elastic modulus was measured using laser ultrasonics and Knoop Indentation. Using indentation, the continuous/ paused spray exhibited the greatest effect with the paused spray samples having a lower elastic modulus value regardless of the condition of the other parameters. The other parameters did not reveal any statistically significant effect. The laser ultrasonics measurements showed that cooling and no-cooling had a greater effect on elastic modulus, with the other parameters having little effect. Laser ultrasonics detected parameters whose influence can be detected near the surface (in this work the cooling and no-cooling), but did not detect those parameters that influence the properties throughout the coating. Indentation detected the parameters that influence the properties throughout the coating, in this work continuous and paused spraying.

Soho 10/19/08 pics
Hey all, got out just above the grates today and had a pretty good day. Kinda windy at times and cold at times. Got around 9-10 total. On everything from red and black zebra midges, gray sulfer, stripper midge, and last but not least I got my first trout on a streamer. Ended up with 3 on a olive wooly bugger. I was amazed at how those browns hate those buggers. But it was a great day.
There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the worm. ~Patrick F. McManus, Never Sniff a Gift Fish, 1979
Check out my gallery.....
I can tell that top brown is no stocked fish... Seems like he is a little darker and colored than the others, and he's slim. Last year's spawn? Right? Good looking browns nonetheless.
Trey Nichols- firstname.lastname@example.com
what size bugger is that, looks a little small, but might just be the picture. i imagine it gets a higher percentage of takers per chasers than the bigger ones i usually throw. I've never caught more than one or two while streamer fishing for trout in a given day. of course i usually only throw a streamer near the end of the day after i've worked through the runs with nymphs first.
"I've got to stop wishin, I've got to go fishin"
Well yesterday was the first time id ever used a streamer. I belive that one was a 12. I had lost an even bigger streamer on a fish. What size leader and tippet do you usually use?

No such luck.
I suppose I should have stuck to what I know about the SoHo... which would be the upper TVA section from the weir down to the island below the boundary marker for the upper section.
Took a friend to the SoHo yesterday and just about got skunked. 10 hours of fishing and less than 10 fish between us.
I decided to try a section I've never fished before - the lower TVA property. Got there just after sunrise and took the right fork in the trial to head down toward the Hickory Tree bridge from above. Got to a beautiful section of the river only to have the peaceful, quite dawn shattered by shouting coming from a trailer across the river . The couple occupying the trailer proceeded to shout at and to each other as they launched a float tube and fished from the bank. The shouting went on for about an hour.
I did see some rather large browns in that section. Had a twenty-plus incher cruise right past my left leg
About a half hour after entering the water, the farmer who owns the property right next to the TVA property pulled up alongside the river bank in his jeep and got out to talk. First thing he asked was if we fished there often. When we said no, he offered tons of advice including such things as: 1) get rid of your big yarn indicators and use very small BWO dries for indicators then drop size 20, 22, 28 nymphs because the fish in that section spook very easily, 2) work the narrow channel that runs along the bank nearest his property since that's where the pigs like to hide, 3) work under the trees on the far bank for smaller browns and rainbows 4) don't expect to see much action until after 1:00 PM. A very helpful guy... I think... maybe he was just steering us wrong??
Well apparently, between us and the "Louds" we put all the fish in that channel down for the day. We worked from there upstream to the shoals at the terminus of the other trail and didn't see anyone bring any fish to hand. I managed about four all under 10 inches brought to hand and self released two or three browns that went about 12 inches each. The fish turned on briefly when the afternoon flow came up, but that was about it.
Trust me, we tried everything. Black thread midges, red thread midges, black and red, red and silver, black and silver -- all in sizes from 18 down to 28 -- pheasant tails, PT Kruzers, Bubba Dark's, black Woolly Buggers, tan Woolly Buggers, tan San Juan worms, pink San Juan worms, brown San Juan worms, red eggs, pink eggs, cream eggs, Eggie Wan Kanobis.... hey, in 10 hours you can try a lotta stuff!!
At about 5 PM we gave up on the lower TVA section and headed down to Rockhold where we were totally skunked for the next hour and a half .
I usually use 2x or 3x tippet with about a leader length of five feet or so. What i do is keep all my old leaders when im done with them and cut them down short, add some 2 or 3x and use those as streamer leaders. i really need to tie some smaller buggers. I fish a lot of zonkers too, both white and black.
Gerry, do you mind me asking which tva section you were talking about. im familiar with the wier dam and the hickory tree bridge section, but i dont know squat about the area in between. from the info you gave, it kinda sounds like you were fishing the slow pool above the small island just upstream of hickory tree bridge? Big drop in temps last night might have warranted slower fishing today. just a guess. im headed to the SOHO tomorrow morning, i hope it picks up.
"I've got to stop wishin, I've got to go fishin"
Gerry, Was that you I saw around 6 PM at Rockhold? I walked downstream in order to talk to two guys in the big run there but they headed out as soon as I got there. Sorry if I ran you all off. We fished, (Pete and I) upstream at the grate from 11 AM to about 4 PM. We did alright on midges in the AM and dries in the PM. We got hungry and went to a fast food joint and then decided to check out the Rockhold area. didn't catch a thing down there. I managed to loose a home made fly box in wood with about 4 dozen of Sulphurs. It's probably floating in the gulf by now. LOL.
Nice catch! Those are nice lookin Browns! I've got to hit the SoHo myself one of these days.
Mark <::::><
"We try to be perfect, but we're only fishermen. We wade out into the water, we don't walk on top of it."
Remember that map of the spawning sections on the SoHo? The lower TVA property is at the very head of the large section above Hickory Tree bridge. Turn off Hickory Tree at the 4-way stop sign near River Bend Baptist Church and head down toward the river - I think it's River Bend Rd. - and bear to the right at Piney Hill Rd. Take it all the way to the end and you'll see some TVA signs posted on the right just before the farm at the end of the road. Parking is first-come-first-gets alongside the road. Take the trail in a ways and look for the fork in the trail. The right fork is a longer walk but it puts you in good water a little over a mile above the Hickory Tree bridge - way above the small island you mentioned - and just southwest of the big bend in the river. That puts you about a mile and a half below the weir dam. The trail on the left fork is a shorter walk and it puts you in at the shoals on the east side of the bend a considerable distance below the lower boundary of the upper TVA property. When you're looking at a map of the SoHo, find the Hickory Tree Bridge and trace your finger to the right to the big bend. A big chunk of that bend is the lower TVA property. It's not like I'm giving away some secret honey hole here... when I was leaving, I was hiking out behind the guys from South Holston River Fly Shop who had been guiding a trip there.
Gerry, I appreciate that, I've fished up and down that river and never there. Im not real sure why though. To be honest, I didn't even know about it. I guess I've never even really looked at a map of that river, I just know what I've been taken to and what I've found.
I mentioned a while back about buying a pontoon. I still plan on doing that probably sometime this winter. I know I won't be able to get a good float in until after spawning season, but how long of a float is it from the wier to about hickory tree bridge? how about webb bridge? How hard of a float is it?
This question goes out to anyone who can help.

|Bullying in Schools: An Overview
|U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
This bulletin examines the connection between different types and frequencies of bullying, truancy, and student achievement, and whether students' engagement in school mediates these factors. The authors conclude that victimization in the form of bullying can distance students from learning. Schools can overcome this negative effect if they adopt strategies that engage students in their work, creating positive learning environments that produce academic achievement.

|A Meta-Analysis of School-Based Bullying Prevention Programs' Effects on Bystander Intervention Behavior
|Joshua R. Polanin, Dorothy L. Espelage, & Therese D. Pigott
This meta-analysis synthesized bullying prevention programs' effectiveness at increasing bystander intervention in bullying situations. Evidence from 12 school-based programs, involving 12,874 students, indicated that overall the programs were successful (Hedges's g = .20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = .11 to .29, p = .001), with larger effects for high school (HS) samples compared to kindergarten through eighth-grade (K-8) student samples (HS effect size [ES] = 0.43, K-8 ES = 0.14; p < .05). A secondary synthesis from eight of the studies that reported empathy for the victim revealed treatment effectiveness that was positive but not significantly different from zero (g = .05, 95% CI= -.07 to .17, p = .45). Nevertheless, this meta-analysis indicated that programs increased bystander intervention both on a practical and statistically significant level. These results suggest that researchers and school administrators should consider implementing programs that focus on bystander intervention behavior supplementary to bullying prevention programs.

text: My DS will be a year old at the end of this month and I can't believe I've made it this far breastfeeding. He has never been a great sleeper but when he is overtired and cranky he will fight sleep a lot. During some of these episodes I feel like I have to forcefully feed him to calm him down. It's usually a struggle for a couple of minutes and then he settles, nurses and falls asleep at the breast. It almost seems like he has to struggle and fight to let out that last bit of energy. I feel horrible when I have to wrestle and fight with him to feed. If I don't do this, and set him down or just hold him on my lap, he goes even more bonkers, so this is my method through trial and error. I just want some reassurance that others go through this as well.

Will I have to suppliment the first day or two? Pumping in the middle of the night is last choice so how/when do I pump during the day and still b/f -so that baby will still have enough?

Purchased these to replace 10 year old Weather Tech All-Weather mats for the front of my 2005 Honda Odyssey. They fit beautifully, cover better than the old mats and look great! Also, the best value compared to all the other mat options available. I replaced a two piece front set with this one piece Hexomat and am very pleased. The one piece even covered the deadmans pedal and had a strip covering under the tray table. The quality and fit is excellent. I would highly recommend these mats!

I think this album shows what a competent Judas Priest vocalist Tim Owens really is.
Written by Angelic Storm on 11.05.2012 at 14:59
Agreed! I own this CD, and Tim does a very good job on the Priest classics, as well as on the "Jugulator" cuts that are featured. The scream he does at the end of "Blood Stained", where he ascends right on the final note is bone chilling... better than the album version for sure!

The global economy has erased arbitrary boundaries between cultures. On a daily basis, we interact with the world in both large and small ways. We call phone banks in India, e-mail on-line businesses in England, drink fair-trade coffee from Columbia, read about micro-lending in Africa, and shop for green toys made in Thailand. But what about literature? Does the country define the writer or does the writer define the country? Or can literature take place in a global vacuum, devoid of setting?

Explore The World of Real Wood Furniture This Columbus Day
Columbus Day is a favorite time to shop for home decor as everyone's beginning to realize that the holidays are right around the corner. If you'll be entertaining family and friends for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or another holiday you may be shopping for furniture today. No doubt, like Columbus, you're looking for America's best. So set your sails for Vermont.
In the Green Mountain State you'll find the best real wood furniture anywhere in the USA. Vermont is home to some 2000 small custom furniture makers located throughout our state as well as several mid-size, high end furniture manufacturers.
Vermont style furniture is known for organic solid wood, clear natural finishes and fine craftsmanship. The favorite hardwood among craftspeople and customers alike seems to be American Black Cherry as shown in the handmade Shaker dining table above, although you'll also find a variety of other North American woods including walnut, oak and maple.
With so many American furniture brands now making their furniture overseas, Vermont has quietly become the Real Wood Furniture Capital of the USA. I know of only one Vermont furniture company that moved its operations overseas back when the Asian exodus was taking place and that was Ethan Allen. The other Vermont furniture businesses have continued to operate successfully in the USA, remaining true to their communities, their employees and their quality.
Enjoy 15% off with our Columbus Day Furniture Sale
The upcoming Columbus Day Weekend is commonly associated with big sales, leaf peeping, and getting a pumpkin for Halloween. Here in Vermont there are hundreds of events going on, making it the busiest weekend of the fall. If shopping is in your plans, we want to let you know about another sale. Starting today, we are kicking off our annual Columbus Day Storewide Furniture Sale. For 6 days you can save 15% off our American Made fine wood furniture, and receive free shipping!
This sale includes over 1,000 pieces of bedroom, dining room, living room, and home office furniture, all made with natural hardwood. Conveniently shop from your home this weekend on our online gallery. Feel free to use our Live Chat option from our online gallery, or give us a call at 888-390-5571 if you have any questions about our Vermont Made fine wood furniture.
Have a nice weekend!
This blog is written by your friends at Vermont Woods Studios. Check out our Vermont made furniture and home decor online and visit our showroom and art gallery at Stonehurst, the newly restored 1800s farmhouse nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountains.

Pioneer FC-146D Design Cover Mini Photo Album
Jan 20, 2013 | By Liz Sutherland
Several years ago, per the request of my daughter, I made a small photo album for one of my six (and growing) grandchildren, showing members of my family who had passed away (Mom, Aunt, Uncle Grandparents, etc.) with annotations of who they were & the approximate dates of the photos taken. It turned out to be such a successful item, my daughter AND my three sons want one for each of their children. I have even copied the front & back of cover of the original album so that each of my grandchildren will have the exact same-looking album. I am very pleased with my purchase and am glad I purchased a couple of extra albums for possible additional grandchildren. Now all I need to do is purchase extra ink cartridges for my printer and I'm good to go!

Excellent Inexpensive Photo Album
Oct 18, 2008 | By Susan Carrier
I found one of these somewhere when my grandson was born and began adding random pictures. It has been an excellent small album, so much so that it made me seek the website to find out if I could buy more like it. I am delighted to learn that I can and inexpensively. I think this is a very fine small album and it is a great brag book to carry in a purse.

Hi there! I just joined LLL hoping that someone would help me.
My daughter never learned to latch on (unfortunately I didn't seek help back then), so I've been pumping and feeding her expressed milk exclusively through a bottle. The first two months she did really well, eager to eat and gaining a lot of weight. A few weeks ago she started to struggle every time we try to feed her. At first we thought it was because of the thawed milk she didn't like. (I pump more than what she can drink, so I froze the rest) We then try to give her fresh, refrigerated milk (warmed). That worked for a couple of days. Then it was the same again. Then we thought it was gas, so we try to burp her, riding bicycles to fart, and even Mylicone drops recently, it kinda calmed her down from crying when being fed to just pushing out nipples. But it still takes 10 to 20 minutes every time just for her to start sucking. Even after she starts to suck, she'll sometimes let go and refuse to eat again, so burping her in the middle is nearly impossible.
She used to take 4 - 5 oz. every three to four hours when feeding was good, but now she only drinks 3 - 4 oz. every four to five hours (at night even longer, last night she went 7 hours without eating!). We use Avent bottles from the beginning, the nipple size is 2. She has normal wet diapers, saucy poopy ones 1 to 3 times a day. Also she gags and chokes on her own spit a lot, and sucks on her own tongue whenever she's hungry or sleepy (she doesn't use pacifier). Sometimes to calm her down I try to let her latch on my breast, she's much more willing to suck on that than the bottle. But of course she couldn't latch on for long, if at all. Could she all of a sudden not liking the bottle? Or acid reflux? Any other reasons? I'm afraid she won't be gaining enough weight if continuing like this. Help!

Wrap It Up
Should Chan Ho Get The Heave-ho?
On Friday morning, I asked the Phillies to go out and kick some Met butt that night. Apparently none of them read my blog, and therefore did not get the message.
Chan Ho Park had a crappy start (the wrap-up on phillies.com generously called it "mediocre"), giving up 7 runs on 8 hits and 6 walks, with only one strikeout, all in the span of 4 2/3 innings.
So far this season, in four starts, his record is 0-1 with an 8.57 ERA. The only reason his won-lost record isn't worse is because the Phillies came from behind to actually win in his previous three starts. But you can't count on that happening every time.
Kudos to the bullpen for pitching scoreless baseball the remainder of the game.
I know he pitched great in spring training, beating out J.A. Happ for the fifth starters spot, but when will we see some quality pitching from Park when it counts? On Wednesday, Park is scheduled to pitch against the Mets again, this time at Citi Field.
So far, there have been no discussions on removing Park from the rotation. According to Rich Dubee, quoted in this morning's Philadelphia Inquirer:
"He's getting the ball," Dubee said. "We're confident."
Well, Mr. Dubee, I'm glad you are, because I'm certainly not. Then again, you're the pitching coach, and I'm certainly not.
A "Walk"-off Win
OK, Saturday was a new day, and another chance for the Phillies to kick some Met butt. But instead of the Mets getting their butts kicked, I saw the Mets getting their butts slapped:
Ramon Castro is congratulated by third-base coach Razor Shines on a solo home run. [Why the butt-slap? Would it be so hard to give a congratulatory hand-slap, back-slap, or shoulder-slap?]
This is not what I meant, guys!
Yes, the Phillies did get the win, eventually. They jumped out to an early lead against Oliver Perez, who gave up 4 runs in just 2 1/3 innings. It's so nice to see other teams get crappy starts from their pitchers, too. Jamie Moyer pitched well for the first five innings, but then things came unraveled in the sixth, allowing the Mets to tie the game at 5 runs apiece.
The score remained tied through nine, but in the bottom of the tenth the Phillies loaded the bases. Shane Victorino then drew a walk from reliever Sean Green to "drive" in the winning run, for a 6-5 Phillies victory.
Not exactly a butt-whipping, but I'll take it.
Here Comes The Rain Again
The deciding game of this three-game set ended up being postponed due to rain on Sunday. Blech! No date has been announced yet.
It's Monday morning now, and it's still raining. As the heading for this section is also the title of a Eurythmics song, here are a few of my other favorite rain-themed songs:
"Rain" – The Cult
"Purple Rain" – Prince
"Fool In The Rain" – Led Zeppelin
"It's Raining Men" – The Weather Girls
"Mary Sunshine Rain" – Dada
Hope at least some of you are having a sunny day today.
The Phillies are in St. Louis tonight, taking on the Cardinals. Please, no rain!

Wasn't there a song called "Here Comes the Rain Again" by the Eurythmics? Or was it called something else? Anyhow, the rain needs to stop in the northeast! Sounds like a stationery front though. You'll probably get your game in, but Yankees-Red Sox is doubtful.
Jane, you must have been reading too fast – I did mention that it was a Eurythmics song.🙂 The rain is supposed to continue today and into Tuesday. The Phillies are out of town, but seeing that New York is not that far away, it may be pretty wet there too. I'm kind of looking forward to the outcome of part 2 of Julia and Scott's little wager.
"I'm Singing in the Rain" and I think Jane is right on the Eurythmics song. I hope we don't have the "rain blues" the next two nights; the weather is not looking good for the Red Sox-Yankees series.
I actually liked that other guy, J A Happ during Spring Training for the fifth spot.
That is the problem with that fifth slot on almost any team this year. It is either a golden arm or a dud, with no slack in the center.
The Phillies are beginning to heat up a bit, and hopefully Chan Ho is just a late bloomer. If not, you know Happ or Kyle Kendricks are itching for a shot.
Rays Renegade
Yeah, it's a gorgeous day here in San Diego, not a cloud in the sky, a perfect breeze…oh sorry🙂 I don't remember Park very well from his Padres days, but seems like he hasn't been doing the best lately.
I'm sitting here waiting for Yankees-Red Sox to start. They SAID there might be a window of dry weather but it's been almost a two-hour delay already. Yawn.
Heh, very funny…..butts kicked vs butts slapped. =)
Yeah, Chan Ho Park doesn't leave me confident either. Not even a little bit.
Jane and Julia – I see the Yanks and Sox did get their game in last night. I guess Julia is the happy girl this morning; Jane, I hope you didn't have to bury another pen!
Renegade – I'm not so sure about Chan Ho. Other than last year with the Dodgers, his ERA hasn't been below 4.00 since 3.50 in 2001 (4.81 being the lowest in that span). I hope they give Happ a shot soon.
Kaybee – hmm, thanks. It's still rainy today too. "Hasn't been doing the best" is an understatement.🙂
carolmwl – thanks for stopping by! I don't think any of the Phans have confidence in Park at the moment. I guess it's good that Dubee does.
Here's a few more for ya: Fire & Rain (James Taylor), Singin' In The Rain (Gene Kelly), No Rain (Blind Melon), November Rain (Guns & Roses), Only Happy When It Rains (Garbage), Who'll Stop The Rain? (CCR)….geez, who knew there were so many??
And I think you know my stance on Park – he's gotta go!
More rain songs: "Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain" (Herman's Mermits), Rain on the Roof (Lovin' Spoonful), "I Can't Stand the Rain" (from the '70s, don't know the artist), "I Love a Rainy Night" (Eddie Rabbit), "I Made It Through the Rain" (Barry Manilow), "It Never Rains in Southern California" (from the '70s, don't know the artist), and "Kentucky Rain" (Elvis Presley). Yes, they're all old songs…I'm old too!😦 And right now, I can really relate to "Who'll Stop the Rain" and "I Can't Stand the Rain"!

For Immediate Release
March 14, 2013
Students honored during the 31st annual Illinois Arts Education Week
Poster contest winners recognized at Governor's Mansion in Springfield
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) honored student winners of the statewide arts education poster contest today at the Governor's Mansion, a highlight of the 31st annual Illinois Arts Education Week that runs March 11-17 and celebrates the importance of the fine arts. Students across the state competed to create posters reflective of this year's theme, "Arts 4 All!"
"Art education plays a vital role in the development of our students," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "I would like to congratulate not just the winning artists here today but also the instructors and parents who encourage such creativity."
The statewide poster contest celebrating Arts Education Week alternates between elementary/middle and secondary students each year. The contest was open to students in grades 9-12 this year.
First place went to Holly Johnson, an 18-year-old senior at Hinsdale South High School in Hinsdale Township High School District 86. Her art instructor at Hinsdale South is Greg Gardner.
"I've been drawing ever since I can remember," said Holly Johnson. "I decided to take art classes in high school to explore opportunities with art in the future and discovered I loved to create my paisley designs over bright colors with bold black lines."
Holly's winning design is featured on a poster promoting Illinois Arts Education Week. Gov. Pat Quinn issued a proclamation designating the special week.
"My inspiration for this piece was the freedom that comes with art. The crazy and random designs, in a way, represent the craziness that comes with art, allowing one to express oneself and find freedom," Holly said. "When creating the picture, I knew I wanted to incorporate ballerina slippers, the drama masks, music notes and paint to cover all areas of the fine arts while also showing my own artistic style with the bright colors and paisley design."
Second place in the poster contest went to Kelly Henaughan, 18, a senior at St. Charles East High School. Her art instructor in St. Charles Community Unit School District 303 is Louise Miller. Trystin Mansfield, a 16-year-old junior at DuQuoin High School, received third place in ISBE's poster contest. His art instructor in DuQuoin Community Unit School District 300 is Andrea Collins.
In addition to honoring students, the 2013 award ceremony recognized individuals, community organizations and businesses that have contributed to the arts and art education. Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon was presented with the Public and Community Service Award from the Illinois Alliance for Arts Education.
"Education goes far beyond our math, science and English classes. The arts play a pivotal role in our students' lives, fostering creativity and providing more avenues for them to excel," said Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon. "It is essential we recognize the arts and fight to keep them in our schools."
Illinois Arts Education Week 2013 is sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education in conjunction with the Illinois Alliance for Arts Education (IAAE) and the Governor's Office. The IAAE is a member of the Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network, receiving support, award recognition programs and professional development opportunities. ISBE is also a partner with the Illinois Arts Council. National, state and local activities are held throughout March to celebrate art education.
Additional posters can be requested by contacting the Illinois State Board of Education's College and Career Readiness Division at (217) 524-4832; firstname.lastname@example.com; or via mail at 100 N. First St., N-242, Springfield, IL 62777-0001.
The back of the poster contains references to the Illinois Learning Goals and Standards for the Fine Arts, upcoming art events for 2013, Internet resources and more. Go to http://www.isbe.net/grants/arts_week/default.htm to view the winning designs.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Adolf Juell (1860-1909)
Juell participated on the 1st Fram expedition, originally as cook and steward, later as general helper.
Adolf Juell was born at Skåtøy near Kragerø by the Oslo fjord and he participated as steward and cook on the 1st Fram Expedition 1893-96.
Juell's father was both a farmer and ship owner, which was not unusual in that part of Norway. It was natural for Adolf to take to the sea at a young age. He took his mate's exam in 1879 and had sailed for some years before he applied to join Nansen's drift with the Fram across the Arctic Ocean. It took several applications and an offer to take a course in cookery before he was accepted.
It was a brave matter to offer to be cook on an expedition that was to be isolated for 3-5 years. The exact time the drift would take was a guess and the expedition had no means of contacting home once it was stuck in the ice. Food means a great deal in such a case and Juell was not actually practiced in the kitchen or galley. As it turned out some of the crew took turns in cooking as no one particularly wanted the job. The second autumn Juell was responsible in the galley for 14 days at a time.
Apparently Juell's southern-Norway talkativeness could irritate Nansen at times, and another of the crew meant 'he should have been a priest' because of his chatter. At the same time he could do his bit to keep up the good spirits onboard.
Juell became a Customs assistant in Kristiansand in 1898, and was promoted in 1903. He died of pneumonia, 48 years old. He had four children.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

Sybil B. WilliamsApril 02,2013
Sybil B. Williams
RANDOLPH Sybil (Burnett) Williams, 96, passed away peacefully at Mayo Healthcare in Northfield, Vt., on Sunday, March 31, 2013.
Sybil was born April 19, 1916, in Savoy, Mass., to the late Melvin and Alice (Sandford) Burnett. She was brought up in Savoy, attended Savoy grammar school and graduated from Drury High School in North Adams, Mass., in 1934.
She married Harold Williams, of Savoy, on Aug. 19, 1939. She resided with her family in the Drury section of Florida, Mass., for over 60 years. From 1956 to 1976, she served as the administrative secretary for the North Berkshire School Union superintendents office in Clarksburg, Mass.
Her interests included gardening, cooking, music, travel, snowmobiling, photography and quilting.
She was predeceased by her husband, Harold Williams, and her sister, Barbara Burnett. She is survived by two daughters, Judith McCarroll and her husband, Ralph, of Frisco, Colo., and Marilyn Williams and her husband, Ronald Kovanic, of Randolph, Vt., and her son, Robert Williams, and his wife, Glenda McKinnon, of Truro, Nova Scotia, and five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the management and staff of both the Windover House of Randolph, Vt., and Mayo Healthcare of Northfield, Vt., for the excellent care Sybil received during the time that she spent in those locations. The immediate family is comforted knowing that Sybil, while in her last years gracefully endured an ever-advancing condition of Alzheimers disease, can now rest in peace. She will be missed.
A memorial service at the Florida Baptist Church and burial at Bellevue Cemetery in Adams, Mass., will take place at a later date.
Contributions in her memory may be made to either the Alzheimers Association at Alzheimers Association, Vermont Chapter, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, D.C. 20090; or the Florida Baptist Church to Mrs. Holly Sumner, Treasurer, Florida Baptist Church, 4 Savoy Road, Florida, MA 01247.
Arrangements are under the direction of Day Funeral Home in Randolph, Vt.MORE IN ObituariesFrederick A. Full StoryBonnie L. Full StoryRichard E. Lemery

I think all that Leeds care about is winning a Grand Final. I think they have a cynical policy. You don't end up in the same position two years running without there being a policy behind it. I think their priority is to get into the top 8 and that's all. So no, I don't think they care about their league position other than to get into the top 8 so that they can aim for the grand final again.
Again,do you think Leeds are not bothered about their league placing
I would like everyone else to follow suit. If they do, we will end up with such a poor quality sport during the season that someone who makes changes might take notice and make the necessary change to nip this one in the bud.

Every scientist strives to be objective and logical, ignoring personal biases in the interest of discovery and the pursuit of knowledge. But sex is really neat, and even the scienciest of scientists can get lost in a hazy boner fog, with both purpose and method seeming to get forgotten entirely (if they were ever even there in the first place).
7Sex in an MRI Machine (And Women Flying Solo)
The invention of MRI machines gave doctors the handy ability to look inside people, helping with everything from bone injuries to brain tumors to that silly ride at Epcot Center. However, the scientific community is apparently full of people who spent the entire run time of Innerspace hoping to see the interior workings of Martin Short ejaculating Dennis Quaid's spaceship into Meg Ryan.
"But why would they put his O-face on the poster if it wasn't going to happen?"
So in 1999, four couples and three single women were recruited for a study. Once assembled, the participants were instructed to climb into the MRI machine (here known as the metal tube of judgment) and have sex with each other. The single women were tossed inside with a masturbation directive (and a wall calendar of shirtless firemen).
The Perverted Bit:
The experiment began with the couples engaging in "face to face coitus in the superior position" (which is sexless egghead speak for missionary). After the scientists had gotten enough dissected sex photos (dissexted?), they told the males to leave the machine and told the women to keep going by themselves, presumably to capture that extra edge needed for the medical journals.
"Oh, so the same thing we do every night. But with magnets."
The lone women would diddle it up until they reached "the pre-orgasmic stage," at which point they would inform the scientists over an intercom (which while not in use for communication was presumably feeding in an endless stream of R. Kelly songs, such as "My Pony," "Bump and Grind" and "Gotham City"). After some pre-orgasmic images were taken, the women would resume diddling until climax, which the MRI machine would also record.
The researchers were not the kind of people who thought that this situation would make maintaining an erection difficult, and as such "did not foresee" that sex in a sterile metal tube surrounded by a makeshift curtain and a room full of scientists would be a major boner slayer for nearly every male involved. There was only one guy who had no problems, and the scientists chalked this up to his "artistic commitment" to the project; he and his partner were both a) involved in and dedicated to the experiment from day one and b) amateur street acrobats and therefore "trained and used to performing under stress." So if nothing else, we already know that this experiment will answer most unanswered questions in the field of Amateur Street Gymnasts Who Like to Fuck in Metal Tubes.
Truly an underappreciated field of study.
The experiment's purpose is only ever vaguely described, and never really goes beyond "We want to see what it looks like when we make people have sex in an MRI machine." Their findings are always along the lines of "People don't seem to like having sex in MRI machines, except, again, unlicensed street acrobats." As stated in this video (which begins with the most amazing non sequitur in the history of the world), the experiment was of interest to specialists and "laypersons with an interest in reproductive anatomy" (read: the Internet).
6Johann Wilhelm Ritter and His Battery
The invention of the world's first electric battery, the voltaic pile, in 1800 was a monumentally historic event. For the first time, people had captured electricity and were free to study its effects and potential. One of those people was Johann Wilhelm Ritter. However, rather than using it to invent something awesome, such as the light bulb, Ritter used the voltaic pile to apply current to sensitive areas of his body, including his nasal cavity, tongue and eyes, because that was evidently the absolute best idea he could come up with. Clearly, programming Karnov 187 years early would have been the superior idea.
And probably more sexually satisfying.
The Perverted Bit:
Determined to follow this line of thought until the bitter end, Ritter decided to electro-blast his yogurt cannon, possibly because he was known to be an eccentric who tap-danced on the borderline of crazy.
He wrapped his dong up in "a cloth moistened with lukewarm milk" (you know, because), then touched a charged wire from the battery onto the cloth. After a bit of a jolt, his penis started to swell. Rather than hurling the cloth out of the window for fear of penile explosion, he kept it firmly applied until he experienced the most terrifying orgasm of all time (we're calling shotgun on that premise so we can pitch it to Stephen King).
We'd call it a page-turner, but honestly, most of them are stuck together.
Showing all the measured reserve of a 10-year-old boy discovering nudity, Ritter began frequently zapping himself, going so far as to jokingly write to his publisher that he intended to marry the voltaic pile (given what we've just learned, we are in no way surprised that actual women were less than excited to have sex with him).
After a while, Ritter began experiencing some nasty side effects, including muscle spasms and paralysis, all over his body (his boner, while arguably his favorite place to electrocute, was by no means the only area of his anatomy that he attached to the battery). Rather than discontinue his "experiments," which by this point seemed to have no higher academic pursuit beyond trying to turn himself into a Spider-Man villain, Ritter would self-medicate with opium to keep the discomfort at bay, leaving him free to play with his masturbattery until the end of time. Or at least until he died at 33 from tuberculosis augmented by a deteriorating physical frailty, which a regime of drug use and constant electric shocks certainly did nothing to help.
Moral: No good comes from being the porn parody version of Electro (Erectro?).

Kelly McMasters; Reader, writer, independent bookstore owner
I actually I had a crazy aunt who always gave books, and I still remember, and I still have one; it was from my high school graduation. At that point I had no plans of being a writer. I mean I won my high school poetry award or something like that, but I never thought of being a writer as a career, because I thought, "Well, who can do that?" But she gave met this giant hardcover book called "The Big Book of Women Writers," and at the time it did feel a little like, "Oh, really? That's what I get for graduation?" But I'll tell you, it's one of my all-time favorite gifts that I've ever received because she saw something in me that I didn't see. And I've retuned to that book again and again; it's been really inspiring, so that was a fantastic gift. And also don't just [consider] novels, but also something like Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring"—something that might not be the best thriller, or a love story, but there are some really beautiful and classic books like that that will stretch your brain and also be a beautiful read.
TRR: Do you worry about children not reading enough?
KMcM: It's terrifying. Maybe about a year and a half after my book was published, I read at this college in Brooklyn, and I visited one particular class… It was for kids who were trying to catch up to college level. This one teacher who invited me thought that because [my book] was a Long Island story, that they might see themselves reflected because [they were] the same age. Actually we had a really fantastic discussion, but I would say that a third of them said that this was the first book that they'd ever finished, and I can't even fathom that.

"Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center Announces 20112012 Stanton Nuclear Security Fellows"
Press Release, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
July 1, 2011
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Managing the Atom; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School has announced the 20112012 Stanton Nuclear Security Fellows. Supported by a generous gift from the Stanton Foundation, the fellows will spend a year in residence at the Belfer Center where they will conduct research under the auspices of the Center's International Security Program and Project on Managing the Atom. The fellowships begin in September 2011.
20112012 Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowships have been awarded to the following scholars:
Robert L. Brown is assistant professor of political science at Temple University, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on international relations theory and international security. He also manages the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation's Public Policy and Nuclear Threats (PPNT) Program. He received his Ph.D. (Political Science, U.C. San Diego) after completing his dissertation in 2008 on the selective use international organizations to cooperate on threats from weapons of mass destruction. His research interests more broadly include international relations theory, international organizations, international security issues, arms control, nuclear policy and nuclear deterrence, and sovereignty issues. He has an M.A. from the George Washington University's Elliott School and a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley. He is writing a book on the International Atomic Energy Agencys role in the nuclear nonproliferation regime.
James Platte is a Ph.D. candidate in international relations at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. His academic background includes a B.S. and M.S. in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan and an M.A. in science, technology, and public policy from the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University. He will be a predoctoral fellow and will continue his dissertation research that focuses on national nuclear fuel cycle policy decision-making.
Wilfred Wan is a Ph.D. candidate in political science at the University of California, Irvine. His dissertation, tentatively titled "Through the Lens of Institutional Theory: Change and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime," considers the sources, loci, and modalities of change within that security institution. He was a 20102011 Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation Dissertation Fellow.
"The Stanton Foundation has had the wisdom to understand the importance of supporting emerging talent in this critical field, and we are grateful for its continued support in providing opportunities to these outstanding young scholars," said Steven E. Miller, director of the Belfer Center's International Security Program.
The Stanton Foundation
The Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowships are supported by a gift from the Stanton Foundation, established by Frank Stanton, the president of CBS News from 19461971. During his 25 years at the network's helm, Stanton turned an also-ran radio network into a broadcasting powerhouse. Stanton died in 2006 at the age of 98 years.
Throughout his life, Stanton was interested in international security and U.S. foreign policy. He served on several presidential commissions charged with preparing the United States for the challenges of living in a nuclear world. In 1954, Dwight Eisenhower appointed Stanton to a committee convened to develop the first comprehensive plan for the nation's survival following a nuclear attack. Stanton was responsible for developing plans for national and international communication in the aftermath of a nuclear incident. According to a statement from the foundation, "The Stanton Foundation aims, through its support of the Nuclear Security Fellows program, to perpetuate his efforts to meet [such] challenges."
The Stanton Foundation notes that Stanton was a strong defender of free speech and was determined to use television as an "instrument of civic education." For example, in 1960 he supported the first televised presidential debates with Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, which required a special act of Congress before they could proceed. These debates were credited with helping Kennedy win the presidency and have since become a staple of U.S. presidential campaigns.

Macon County library employees this week have been stacking 62,000 books, videos, CDs and other items on to pallets. The packages are shrink-wrapped and shipped from the current library before being unpacked at the almost twice-as-big replacement on Siler Road.
When the new library opens April 2, Macon County residents such as Kathy Tinsley will have access to an almost 30,000-square-foot facility with perks such as self-checkout, more computers and additional study rooms.
ŌĆ£I was a little apprehensive at first because itŌĆÖs not going to be on the beaten path,ŌĆØ the Cartoogechaye community resident said.
Now, however, Tinsley said she believes residents will embrace the new libraryŌĆÖs location near U.S. 441 just outside of town.
Though part of the same three-county Fontana Regional Library system, Macon CountyŌĆÖs benign library move stands in contrast to similar attempts in Jackson County.
There, a push to expand and move the Sylva library met with failure because of some residentsŌĆÖ strong sentiments that it should remain in the immediate downtown.
Reaching new standards
The new Macon library will be the first in the Fontana Regional Library system to reach the stateŌĆÖs recommended guideline of staying open at least 60 hours a week.
The move has been ŌĆ£as much about expanding hours as expanding space,ŌĆØ said Karen Wallace, who is MaconŌĆÖs library director and also head of the Fontana Regional System.
Wallace said Fontana Regional Library hopes to eventually reach the 60-hour threshold at the other two main county libraries in Sylva and Bryson City.
Previously, MaconŌĆÖs library was open 50 hours a week. Keeping the doors open earlier and later each day has required a substantial commitment by Macon commissioners, as it would in Jackson and Swain counties. In addition to the donation of five acres and $4.1 million, Macon added 10 new library positions, both full- and part-time, plus a substitute. ThatŌĆÖs up from 15 full- and part-time staffers.
ŌĆśDissensionŌĆÖ part of process
It took two years to raise the money needed to help furnish the new Macon library. Retired school employee Roberta Swank headed the fundraising, which resulted in just more than $1 million in grants and donations, including money given by an estate. The countyŌĆÖs Friends of the Library group hired a commercial interior designer to help with the inside.
MaconŌĆÖs ability to find a new site and raise the funds was successful, said Swank, because community meetings at the outset let everyone feel theyŌĆÖd had their say.
ŌĆ£A lot of people liked it where it was already located,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£Anytime you add, change or expand, you are going to have some dissension. You must have input and you must expect some people to disagree.ŌĆØ
The old building was near Franklin High School. Students often walked there after school, which wonŌĆÖt be possible at the new site.
A consensus in Jackson
Wallace thinks agreement about a new library will occur in Jackson County.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs clear that weŌĆÖve not reached consensus yet, but I think we are close,ŌĆØ she said.
A planning grant will be used to hire a consultant to direct a series of community meetings such as those in Macon, she said, with open discussion about service priorities. Debate has raged for years over where a new library should be built, how big it should be and whether one was even needed.

Pet of the Week - Jiffy
Meet Jiffy! Jiffy is about 2 years old, neutered and has short hair with gray tiger and white markings. Mellow, easy going, and handsome. That's Jiffy! This sweet boy loves attention from his human friends. He really loves to be petted and is very talkative! He enjoys head rubs and can't wait to be the center of your attention. He has the most wonderful purr and will happily meet you at the front door after a long day for some much awaited attention! Jiffy's has an easy going personality but can be a little shy in new situations. For this reason, he would likely enjoy a quiet home but should do well with children of any age. With time to adjust and proper introductions, he should do well in a home with other pets. He lives in the communal room with a number of other cats and would be happy to have another furry friend in his new home.
If you would like to help our wonderful friends while they are waiting to be adopted, the Coulee Region Humane Society is always looking for donations. These donations go a long way in making the stay more comfortable for our animal guests.

Batting Stance Guy at the 2011 FSL All-Star Game
This weekend, Bright House Field, home of the Clearwater Threshers, Phillies Spring Training games, and MOST importantly, site of Major League Baseball's best Phantasy Camp, will be hosting the 50th annual Florida State League (FSL) All-Star Game.
In addition to all the usual activities that surround an All-Star weekend, one piece of entertainment will be supplied by none other than Gar Ryness a.k.a. Batting Stance Guy.
If you aren't familiar with him yet, well, that's inexcusable.
Here is his first compilation video of past and present Phillies players, done in late 2008. Check out that Garry Maddox!
His YouTube channel is the perfect time waster.
Not in front of a computer or smartphone? Waste it the old-fashioned way… read the book! Or if you are in Clearwater, go see him, and future baseball stars in action.

I have a 2yo daughter and 5 week old newborn who is nursing. I am really starting to feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety and fatigue with nursing on demand and pumping for night bottles (my situation is that I'm separated from my lo for 5-6 hours each night).
I keep reading all these articles about how rewarding the breastfeeding relationship is, and of course I know the benefits for my lo, but honestly, I am really not enjoying it right now.
I get so frustrated when he cries and pulls off my breast, fusses for his fussy period and other times when I can't figure out what is wrong. I think it is the added stress of a 2 year old literally hanging on me and demanding my attention all the time.
I know everyone tells me to "not worry about the house!"--but, I'm the one stuck here all day long with the clutter and dirty dishes!
When does it start to get better?
