For those that don't know my story, I am a low supply mom who has had to supplement since day nine due to my ds becoming dehydrated. Anyhow, I have heard of doing a a babymoon--which my local LLLL suggested and I was looking for some more tips and success stories while I plan it.
First, I have realized my supply has dipped yet again, yesterday I pumped 6 times and only got 2 1/2 ounces, which was what I was getting when I first rented the pump and ds was using the sns more like 4 times a day and the past week he has only been using it 1-2 times a day. So I know I am low--which may be due to ds sleeping through the night the past two weeks. He has started sucking his thumb. GRRR. Just when I am trying to build the supply. So this morning-when dh was getting ready for work I told him I would push the bed against the wall so ds could sleep that side of the bed. (I put him in bed with us all last night and dh wanted me to put him in the bassinet, which I refused-so dh ended up on the couch.) It was good for ds because he woke to bf three times-but dh was annoyed that either I was holding ds, or he was inbetween us all night. So to make us all happy, I will be stuck inbetween both of them until further notice.
Anyway-I plan to start using the sns more frequently, increase pumping, co-sleep, etc. for the next three or four days to increase my supply, then have the babymoon. Also get the house/laundry in order and premake/freeze some meals.
So should I schedule it when dh is home, or will it be better to do alone? I have heard both suggestions and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with/without your dh home and how it worked.
Also, my LLLL said that if I really wanted reassurance dh is not getting dehydrated-to give him 1 teaspoon of water every two hours during the babymoon--has anyone tried this before?
Another question--is it best to do the babymoon for 24 or 48 hours?
Any suggestions or helpful websites are welcome.

Springfield, Ill. A total of 16 southern Illinois
public schools will be recognized next week for making
academic improvement. The 16 schools are among 100 statewide
whose data shows improvement in their student scores over
three years of test assessments.
More often than not people talk about our schools
failing, and time and time again I have said that they
are not, State Superintendent Robert Schiller said.
As demands to meet the requirements of No Child
Left Behind Act increase, it is gratifying for us to recognize
those schools that are not only meeting requirements,
but are definitely showing trends in improvement.
Partnering with Northern Illinois University, a data
search identified schools where students have made consistent
academic improvement while meeting Adequate Yearly Progress.
Recognizing these schools is part of the No Child Left
Behind requirements. The State Board of Education approved
the recognition criteria during its monthly meeting in
To receive an Academic Improvement Award, schools must:
The 7.5% improvement increments were selected to match
the projected increase in annual academic performance
targets under No Child Left Behind beginning in 2005.
The program is an extension of the Spotlight Schools
honored last fall. Spotlight Schools are public schools
that achieved high academic performance in an environment
where a majority of students come from low-income
A recognition event is set for Wed.., June 9, starting
at 4 p.m. Other schools will be recognized at events in
Springfield and Chicago.

scenario is that one of the parents is gluten intolerant and is highly suspicious that their child is as well. Due to the child being 'relatively healthy' the non-gluten intolerant spouse suggests that the child be able to 'live a little' and enjoy the cake and pizza that is so prevalent at children's parties and sporting events.
- Gluten intolerance vastly increases your risk of developing diseases that can affect most any system and organ in the human body.
- Gluten vastly increases your risk for autoimmune disease.
- Gluten can be rather silent in a younger body, but if a positive test exists, then it IS doing damage, regardless of whether it is felt or not.And that damage will worsen with the passage of time.

By Freedom Newspapers
Washington, D.C., administrative law judge Roy Pearson last week lost his $54 million case against his drycleaners for losing a pair of his pants.
Fifty-four million dollars. Over a pair of pants.
Thankfully, he lost the case, but why was such an absurd lawsuit even allowed to get that far?
Not surprisingly, the wrangling over Pearson's pants is only the latest in a long line of such lawsuits. America's "out-of-control legal system imposes a staggering economic cost of over $865 billion a year" on business and the economy, according to a study released in March based on figures from 2006 by the Pacific Research Institute, a free-market think tank in San Francisco.
That figure includes all costs related to tort law, including administrative and legal fees as well as the cost of lost innovation for businesses.
A "tort" is wrongful conduct or negligence by one person that results in injury to another.
One particularly striking consequence of our nation being sue-happy (remember the McDonald's hot-coffee incident?) is that it's hurting U.S. businesses' ability to compete overseas because it unnecessarily raises costs.
PRI found the U.S. spends 2.2 percent of gross domestic product on direct tort costs, whereas other advanced countries spend on average 0.9 percent. This means more than half of all U.S. tort costs are excessive, if compared with other advanced countries, PRI estimates.
When our rivals don't face a constant barrage of absurd lawsuits, they gain a competitive advantage.
Of course, access to the courts is necessary for consumers and businesses as a system of checks and balances in the marketplace for serious misdeeds and product failures. However, lawsuits too often become the first-reach response to compensate for even the smallest misfortune, and sympathetic juries too often order companies to pay large sums to individuals who see the court system as little more than an ATM.
What are the potential reforms? In the U.K., as in other developed countries around the world, losing plaintiffs are required to pay the court costs. This allows for serious allegations of business negligence and the like to surface, supported by strong evidence, while keeping citizens from taking advantage of the system to score a big payday.
PRI's research gives credence to a growing movement for legal reform in the U.S. "If tort reforms that eliminate waste are enacted in the United States, the U.S. economy will approach its full productive potential," PRI argues.
PRI estimates $684 billion in annual wealth is lost to U.S. stockholders because of tort lawsuits.
It's past time for making changes to this system.

Climate change could mean more flooding
As we celebrate another Earth Day, scientists are reminding people that our planet is changing.
"Temperatures are likely to increase, probably a little bit more in winter than in summer," said Barry Johnson, the chief of long term monitoring at the U.S. Geological Survey in La Crosse.
When it comes to climate change, Johnson says one of the biggest threats for our area is more frequent flooding.
"More extreme events...things like very high amounts of rainfall in 24-hour periods," said Johnson.
Engineers for the city of La Crosse are already planning for that scenario. Assistant City Engineer Bernerd Lenz says several new technologies are being looked at that would help reduce the amount of stormwater run-off in the city.
"We are blessed by living in a sandbox," said Lenz. "If we can get the water off the streets or prevent it from getting to the streets...we can reduce some of our flooding that way."
It's not the Mississippi River, however, that is most at risk from climate changes. Johnson says the smaller bodies of water will see a greater impact.
"You're more likely to see changes around here in things like small streams," said Johnson.
Both men are bracing for changes that likely can not be stopped.
"Even if we were to do a variety of things now to try and alleviate some of that, it would probably be changing for quite awhile in the future yet," said Johnson.
Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4 degrees over the last century.The EPA predicts it will rise anywhere from 2 to 11.5 degrees over the next century.

Sacramento King's center DeMarcus Cousins made headlines Monday night after committing a cheap shot in court – striking Dallas Maverick's O.J. Mayo in the groin.
The NBA announced Wednesday that Cousins is suspended for one game without pay after hitting Mayo below the belt.
With less than four minutes remaining before Mavericks beat Dallas, Cousins and Mayo got into a shoving match. A slow motion video revealed later that Cousins smacked the Mavericks' guard in the groin area. Although Cousins insisted that the action was not intentional, the NBA thought otherwise and ruled to keep him in his seat on their game next year.
Cousins said that watching the incident in slow motion made it appear that he did it on purpose, but he said he was just swinging his hand backward to push Mayo's hand away.
The two players later engaged in a verbal spat with Mayo accusing Cousins of having "mental issues" after resorting to such dirty tactics. Cousins also slurred insults on Mayo, saying the man doesn't have a great image either.
It wasn't the first time that Cousins earned a suspension from a game. He was earlier banned from two games after a heated exchange with San Antonio Spurs TV commentator Sean Elliot in November.
Since posting, the video racked up nearly one million views on YouTube.

A team of Greenpeace activists including the Executive Director of Greenpeace International Kumi Naidoo attach themselves to the anchor chain of the Anna Akhmatova and chain their inflatable to it, preventing the ship from lifting anchor and sailing to the Prirazlomnaya oil platform to complete the work that will allow them to begin drilling in this fragile region. This follows an earlier action when a team of 6 Greenpeace activists including Kumi Naidoo spent 15 hours on board Gazprom's giant Arctic oil platform off the North-eastern coast of Russia in the Pechora Sea. Gazprom looks set to begin full commercial drilling operations by early next year, becoming the first ever company to start commercial oil production in the offshore Arctic.

Dated to the end of the fourteenth century, this panel depicting two saints was likely part of a larger ensemble that presented an important scene from the life of Christ or the Virgin Mary at center, with another pair of saints on the opposite side. Anthony the Abbot, a Christian saint from Egypt, was considered to be the founder of monasticism. Gerini's depiction of the saint as an elderly monk with a walking stick was customary for the time. Saint Peter is shown here with his attribute, a pair of keys, which refer to Christ's words to the apostle from Matthew 16:19: "I will give to thee the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven."

While classmates may be intimidated with working on a cadaver, two Eastern New Mexico University students are eager to put on scrubs and seize the rare opportunity.
Junior Meghan Howard is among the students in the science department that gets to work with the school's first cadaver, which was donated to the science department and arrived in December.
"It's kind of exciting to go from cats and pigs to working on a human," said Howard, who added she's one of only a handful of students in her class who wants to work with the body.
The donated body was a 72-year-old Hispanic male from Phoenix who died of lung cancer, according to ENMU officials.
Matthew Barlow, assistant professor of biology, was a driving force in bringing the cadaver to ENMU.
"I think it is a little bit shocking when you see it at first; you probably find it to be hitting a little close to home and we try to compensate for those feelings," Barlow said. "It is not required that students be in the lab, but this enhances the experience for those who really want to pursue a pre-allied health field."
Trace Schwerman, a junior in Barlow's anatomy class, has already had experience working with cadavers in a health program he was a part of in high school.
"I'm very grateful that he gave his body to us so that we can learn from it," Schwerman said.
Schwerman and Howard haven't worked with the cadaver that much yet, but they jump at any opportunity they can to get into the lab, which usually can have up to 10 students at one time.
"So far what we've done is pull out a cancer plug. A plug that they can induce medicine into (the body) and that was kind of interesting," Schwerman said. "I'm looking forward to getting into the thorax, the heart and the lungs."
Schwerman, who hopes to get in a physical therapy program, preferably in Texas, says working with the cadaver will aid him greatly with his future plans.
"It's much different from watching an anatomical figure that's made by computers and then to see it on a person in real life and real size, you know, full scale, and to really see how it connects and how everything integrates," Schwerman said.
Howard said working with the cadaver is giving her more options to think about. She planned on studying dermatology but now she's looking at other paths in the medical field.
"The experience is pushing me more towards internal medicine," Howard said.
Barlow's classes are working on the cardiovascular system and eventually the digestive system this semester.
Barlow said the department has a contract for 36 months to keep the body, at which time it will be returned to the family for cremation.
The science building underwent renovation recently in which a cadaver room was installed, a room that can hold up to three bodies, according to Barlow.
Barlow believes the cadaver will be a great recruiting tool for the science department as well as important for hands-on experience.
"I hope for the students' sake that it gets them better prepared and gives them an idea of the avenue that they want to pursue," Barlow said.
He says it's becoming less common and really expensive for other universities to acquire and keep cadavers.
"But at a place like ENMU that's growing so much, it's an advantage," Barlow said.

In this video, we demonstrate the use of littleBits in the design and prototyping process of a coffeemaker, from the interaction aspect, to aesthetics, behavior, and overall experience.
littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.

The Gateway District Leadership Camp is hosted each year by the district officer team. Chapter members all come together to learn leadership skills to help them become better leaders in their chapters and community.
This year, George West FFA had six members participate in the leadership conference. Kate Jimerson, GW Secretary and Gateway District Vice President, served as a facilitator for the camp. Quest Newberry, GW President and Area 10 First Vice President, also served as a facilitator as part of his area officer duties. Mary Cansino, Sarah Crawford, Shelby James, Ashley Keadle, Garrett Pawlik, Nicie Smith and Samantha Valdez also attended the camp as chapter members.
While at the conference, FFA members attended various leadership workshops to give them ideas on how to become better leaders and how to make their FFA meetings more informative. They also learned ways to set and accomplish goals, become better communicators and ways to be a better team player.
The Texas FFA is one of the nation's largest state FFA Associations with a membership of more than 62,000 and approximately 985 FFA chapters. FFA gives students the opportunity to apply practical classroom knowledge to real world experiences through local, state and national competitions.

Park Likes His Job
Many expected tonight's match-up of Chan Ho Park and Johan Santana to be a really bad day for the Phillies. However, no one really expected Park, who has been horrible on the mound, to keep pace with Santana. And certainly, no one expected for the deciding factor in the game to be THREE errors by the Phils. The first 2 did not do much damage, but the 3rd gave the Mets the 1-0 lead (final score). With a man on 1st and 2 outs in the 7th, Fernando Tatis hit a ball to Pedro Feliz that he should have held onto. It was a slow chopper far from Feliz; he managed to grab it and made a very bad, unbalanced throw to 1st, which flew over Ryan Howard's head. Jayson Werth backed-up the play, but hesitated to throw home. His hesitation let Carlos Delgado score. Had Feliz just held onto the ball, you still have 2 outs and no one scores.
The real shame of it was that this game was winnable. Despite his very bad start to the season, Park managed to throw 6 innings of 1 hit, no run ball. Apparently, he likes his job as a starter and is aiming to keep it. Park kept the Phillies in the game, but the defense let it slip away. The offense had a bad day too, but they were facing Santana, so this was not a huge shock. Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Raul Ibanez each had one hit, but that was it for the offense. Oddly enough, Park drew 2 walks, but again, the Phils did not take advantage. Victorino did extend his hitting streak to 15 games, which is about the only happy news on the day.
Chase Utley did play today, and his foot seems to be fine. He struggled at the plate, like everyone else though. The Phillies will have one more shot at the Mets tomorrow night at 7:10pm with Jamie Moyer on the mound.

I was shocked – shocked, I tell you! – to see Park pitch so well. The Phillies had chances – Ibanez hit a leadoff double but was left stranded – and the errors sure didn't help. Considering we all pretty much wrote it off as a loss beforehand, I guess I shouldn't be too upset, but what a shame to waste a great performance by Park.

Windows 8.1 Hits RTM, Aims to Win Back Customers
Jason Mick
August 27, 2013 7:12 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Start Button, boot to desktop, tile tweaking, tutorials, and many other changes look to win back customers
It's a time of turbulence for Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), the world's largest PC operating system maker. Amidst many struggles, Microsoft's ebullient leader Steve Ballmer announced that he will be
stepping down during the next year
, a
somewhat unintended departure
that his critics have
long been clamoring for
I. Ballmer's Bane Revisited
While Windows Vista may be Mr. Ballmer's
greatest disappointment
, the driving force behind his departure was arguably Windows 8.
Windows 8 started off a promising concept, but fell victim to a myriad of flaws and shortcomings, which have led to the
biggest percentage drop in PC sales ever
. One major issue was the scope of the redesign -- Microsoft dropped a very new and different interface on consumers with the graphically rich "Modern UI" (aka Metro) homepage and a slew of new multi-touch gestures. Where other similarly complex OSs such as Android include a built-in tutorial that helps teach users how to use the new UI, Windows 8 had no such tutorial. As a result many customers
wrote Windows 8 off quickly, "downgrading" to Windows 7
Other critical flaws in Windows 8 include Microsoft's inability to enforce
its intended touchscreen requirement
-- a critical pillar of the optimal Windows 8 consumer experience -- and Microsoft's
unwillingness to listen to customers
who wanted a backup traditional Start Button/Start Menu when in Desktop Mode.
Even as Mr. Ballmer prepares his exit, his company is aiming to fix some of its Windows 8 misses with Windows 8.1.
The Start Button hovers in Windows 8.1 allowing a fast return to the Desktop Mode. New users are now greeted with tutorials to help them learn the foreign interface in more of a friendly fashion. [Image Source: CNET]
Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT
hit Release to Manufacturing
(RTM) on Wednesday. The OS will be released consumers on Oct. 18 as
a free update for all Windows 8 users
II. Windows 8.1 Aims to Turn Around Windows 8 Flop
The RTM build should pack a near complete feature set -- include the aforementioned missing tutorials and Start Button. While
not the Start Button that some consumers were hoping for
, the new Start Button hovers familiarly in the lower left-hand corner, allowing you to quickly flip into and out of the Modern UI -- essentially an unrolled Start Menu -- with a click. Windows 8.1 also
restores the ability to boot to desktop
-- rather than the Modern UI Homepage.
It also integrates
numerous other improvements
, including unified themes; new Modern UI core apps; the ability to unpin, group move, and resize tiles at will; and an improved Windows Store.
Microsoft has taken a gamble by putting the people behind Windows 8 and its mobile twin Windows Phone 8
in key positions of leadership
, during the
recent executive shakeup
. This is a clear testimony to the fact that while Mr. Ballmer may be being shuffled out the door, Microsoft's Board of Directors believes the company was headed in the right direction with Windows 8 and merely failed on the delivery.
Windows 7, Microsoft's
greatest sales success
, was born out of the ashes of the
poorly received Windows Vista
. Likewise Microsoft is looking to hone the sooty carbon of Windows 8 into a diamond with Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 RTM is the last major milestone in that pre-release refinement process.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

Northeast Hit With Snow And Powerful Winds
By Renee Montagne • Jan 3, 2014
Originally published on January 3, 2014 11:16 am
A very cold winter storm is engulfing much of the Northeast, dumping more than 20 inches of snow in some areas and bringing strong winds along with it. Schools are closed in Boston and New York City. Thousands of flights have been canceled. Officials around the region are asking people to stay home and let road crews do their work.

One small part of journalists' job is fielding reader calls often involving things that might never turn into news stories, although some useful bits of information are exchanged.
It's sort of like being a librarian or an information switchboard operator, and we never mind pointing people toward credible, relevant information or toward resources whether in the interest of journalism or not.
We're here to serve readers with information in a variety of ways, and while distributing information to the masses is our business model, we'll serve them one at a time when we can, too.
We won't and shouldn't offer legal advice. We aren't priests, psychoanalysts or counselors. Anyone willing to seek spiritual or personal advice from a newspaper editor, has deeper issues than any journalist can resolve. But information is definitely our trade.
So please don't interpret this column as a complaint. It's not intended to be, and I don't want to discourage anyone from getting news or information by any means from their local community news source.
But I'm troubled when I speak with usually much older readers who tell me they're unable to find the information they're looking for because they don't use a computer or the Internet.
I'm happy to help them find what they need and always do so either immediately or as soon as I'm able to do a .032-second Google search, but I'm sad that there still are people trying to function in 2014 without a hint of computer literacy.
And I'm also not trying to stereotype. I know plenty of seniors who are incredibly skilled on the Internet. I'd have barely recognized my late father-in-law without a laptop, and know other seniors who maintain their own blogs, are active on social media and take great pride in keeping up with technology.
The good news is that the phone calls come with less and less frequency. The best study I found on seniors and Internet uses was a 2012 Pew study showing that for the first time ever, more than half of seniors older than 65 are using the Internet or email.
Among those 53 percent of seniors older than 65 who report using the Internet, 70 percent say they use it in their daily lives.
It's great that the trend is improving. While real life and face-to-face, voice-to-voice interaction will always be important, being able to communicate and find information online is vital and will become even more critical each year.
If you're a senior reading this column on dead trees, I'm glad you're reading newspapers and staying abreast of current affairs. But if you don't use the Internet and think it doesn't matter whether you do, I'd urge you to reconsider.
Sure, the Internet can be a tremendous waste of time, but so can TV and really bad literature. Eschewing the entire medium isn't a logical reaction. There are 400 billions ways to waste time online, but there are also 400 billion useful ways to find what you need and make your life easier.
What I fear if this trend doesn't continue to improve is that eventually we'll start losing the voice of the Greatest Generation. Frankly, if you're not communicating electronically, you're speaking to a very small world. And this big world needs the perspective of older generations more than ever.
Don't let fear stand in your way. Complete morons are able to communicate and navigate the Internet each day. Don't believe me? I promise you'll find them the first day you log on.
And don't be embarrassed. Like any skill, someone had to learn it. I was never a Boy Scout, boater or farmer, so I can't tie useful knots to save my life. No one taught me those skills, so I don't have them.
McHenry County College and many libraries offer basic computer use classes. And it doesn't take a pro to teach. Find another senior, friend or family member to help get you started. I'm sure you won't be disappointed and will find freedom and independence that you never thought was possible.
At the very least, you could leave a comment at the bottom of this column telling me how much you disliked it or send me a Tweet or email suggesting that I consider roofing as a career change.

reminder: dont forget to do the west teams...
Boston Celtics
Round 1: J.R. Giddens (30)
Round 2: Bill Walker (47), Semih Erden (60)
Grade: B
-Celtics got two future replacements for Allen and Pierce. Giddens and Walker are considered the most athletic guys in the draft and Celtics got them. Erden will never come to the NBA, so its just a wasted pick. Gidden and Walkers are guys who could contribute right away. All Boston needs is a back up PG. Their bench is Giddens/Walker/Powe/Davis. Very young, tough, and talented.
New Jersey Nets
Round 1: Brook Lopez (10), Ryan Anderson (21)
Round 2: Chris Douglas-Roberts (39)
Grade: A
Nets grabbed a top 3 talent and the best center prospect at 10. Lopez is very similar to Kaman, he won't ever be a go to guy in the NBA, but he will be a great 2nd option or complimentary big man. Anderson is one of the best shooters/scorers in the draft, Nets desperately needed scoring with loss of Jefferson and they just needed shooting period, Anderson was a great addition. CDR was projected top 15-25 for most of the year, but he fell to 39. A big steal for New Jersey, they got a wing player to replace Jefferson. To top it all off, New Jersey got a top 5 lottery talent in Yi, who will suprise a lot of people next year.
New York Knicks
Round 1: Danilo Gallinari (6)
Grade: B+
Knicks went with the 2nd best pick available. What people need to understand is that Gallinari is FIT for the system. Turnover prone low basketball IQ guys like Gordon and etc don't belong on this team, we already got Crawford to make bonehead plays. Gallinari is a slashing SF with elite passing skills and is a smart unselfish player. That sounds crazy right? Thats because we never had a player like that since the 90s. Gallinari has a lot of potential and will be an all star. D.J. Augustin was first on my board, but it'll be okay since there will be other PG prospects in the future.
Philadelphia 76ers
Round 1: Marreese Speights (16)
Grade: A
-Speights is a potential Al Jefferson steal. Al Jefferson wasn't picked in the lottery, but looked how te turned out to be. Speights isn't the most athletic guy, but his style is so similar to Al J, this is what Philadephia needed, a PF who can bang and score in the paint. This was the best pick for them getting a guy who would of been a top 5 pick next year in the 16th pick of this year. Philadephia is on the rise on the East, so watch out. The Atlantic division continues to get stronger and stronger
Toronto Raptors
Round 2: Nathan Jawai (41)
Grade: A
Jawai is a power bigman who was a projected a first round pick. Raptors are soft in the paint and they got a warrior in Jawai who's probably the most physical big man in this draft, this is a good fit for Toronto and they picked the best player available.
Chicago Bulls
Round 1: Derrick Rose (1)
Round 2: Omer Asik (36), Sonny Weems (39)
Grade: B
-**** Chicago
Cleveland Cavaliers
Round 1: J. J. Hickson (19)
Grade B-
-Hickson is good, but Koufus and Arthur would of been better picks.
Detroit Pistons
Round 2: Walter Sharpe (32), Trent Plaisted (46), Deron Washington (59)
Grade: D
-Most of these guys will end up in Europe and probably not even end up seeing Detroit. Detroit is on the decline.
Indiana Pacers
Round 1: Brandon Rush (13), Roy Hibbert (17)
Grade: B
-Getting rid of an old ass injury prone low FG% shooting J-O'Neal for a young elite prospect PG in Ford and for a defensive, solid offensively role playing center in Rasho is a good move. Rush will be a good role player off the bench. Hibbert is a center they needed since they lack size. Solid moves for Indiana. They still will be mediocre.
Milwaukee Bucks
Round 1: Joe Alexander (8)
Round 2: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (37)
Grade - B-
-Alexander won't start since Jefferson is now a Buck He would be a nice back up SF/PF for the Bucks.
I don't know where Mbah a Moute will be play since they're loaded at the SF position.
Atlanta Hawks
Round 1: None
Round 2: None
Grade: Incomplete
Charlotte Bobcats
Round 1: D.J. Augustin (9), Alexis Ajinca (20)
Round 2: Kyle Weaver (38)
Grade: A+
-Augustin is the best pure PG in the draft, a very good PG prospect for them.
-Ajinca is the best center prospect in this draft. He can run the floor at 7"1, he's an animal on defense, he loves to get physical and bang, and surprisingly he has a jumpshot from 3pt range. Imagine Tyson Chandler with a jumpshot.
-Weaver is the best perimeter defender in the draft, Bobcats needed D and they got. Really good draft for the Bobcats, won't be surprised if they sneak in the playoffs.
Miami Heat
Round 1: Michael Beasley (2)
Round 2: Mario Chalmers (34), Darnell Jackson (52)
Grade: A
-The made the right choice sticking with Beasley, a perfectly sidekick for Wade and got the best player in draft @ 2
-Getting Chalmers is HUGE. He's the PG that Wade needs, a defensive PG with a jumpshot. I see him being a starter in Miami soon, so they got a real steal with that addition.
-Jackson is a solid big man, Chalmers teammate that adds front court depth.
Orlando Magic
Round 1: Courtney Lee (22)
Grade: F
-Orlando failed. They got Bogans, Evans, and Reddick, Lee isn't really that different. The only big man Orlando has is Dwight, they couldn't get one in the draft? They got exposed by Detroit because Detroit has a deep bench of big men and Orlando doesn't. Dwight can't do it by himself, and Lewis is the most ***** guy playing the 4 in the NBA since he hangs around the 3pt line all the time. Orlando needed someone like Koufus to play center and move Dwight to PF. Koufus could shoot, rebound and has a post game. Orlando failed this draft.
Washington Wizards
Round 1: JaVale McGee (18)
Grade: D
-Just an upside pick. They needed a PG or a big man who can contribute right away. McGee isn't that guy.
Dallas Mavericks
Houston Rockets
Memphis Grizzlies -
New Orleans Hornets
San Antonio Spurs
Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers
Phoenix Suns-
Sacramento Kings
Denver Nuggets
Minnesota Timberwolves
Portland Trail Blazers
Seattle SuperSonics
Utah Jazz

reminder: dont forget to do the west teams...
-Marbury/Chandler/Gallinari Supporter...
^^^ since last year, and still with it!
[1.10.09] Get Sergio Rodriguez at 2010!
I have to agree with 80% of the Grades that Metro mention.
I would'nt give any team that made it to the Post Season Games a grade under a C+ for the 2008 Draft. The FA market & offseason trades is what is important to make them stay a Post Season team.
I am still shock and stuck on the decision making of this 23 Win Season Team called the Knicks.
I was very heated after the Knicks 6th pick of 6.8 SF-Danilo Gallinari, and it did take awhile for me to cool down.
I will let the Fans Boo's, NBA analyst, and New York Sports Writers force the Knicks President of Operation get up off his fanny and do something after his failure on Draft Night (The Knicks have a FLAWED roster!).
The 23 win season Knicks did deserve all the boo's they received for drafting a 19 year old player that no Knick-Fan ever seen play, or ever heard his name untill celebrity coach D'Antoni endorsed him as a Lottery pick player.
The 6.8 SF-Gallinari was no where near the best available player at the 6th pick, he was'nt even the best available player at his position and that will be proved by Joe Alexander, Anthony Randolph, Donte Green, and Brandon Rush their rookie season.
Gallinari was a Pet selection of the Knick Organization to show the new head coach D'Antoni that management is behind him 100%.
In other words the Knick President let the Head Coach (who knows nothing about the players in the last 5 years draft) select the 6th pick.
The Fans were supposed to BOO this pick. Why? the last two drafts the Knicks selected a 6.8 Balkman, a 6.8 Chandler, and a 6.8 D.Nichols, whom would've held down the SF position in the NBA at a 65% level without any weakness showed in that position (they lack NBA playingtime to improve).
The Knicks SF position was covered (invite 6.8 SG-D.Nichols and 6.11 F/C-Morris to the Knicks SLG) by the 3 SF-players selected in the last 2 drafts.
Here are 5 players who future performance will be worth the 6th pick:
1) The Knicks could buy-out Jerome James and select C-Brook Lopez.
2) The Knicks could package Marbury, Crawford, and Collins, to select Combo-Guard Jerryd Bayless or Russel Westbrook, or a Pure SG-Eric Gordon, or a Pure PG-DJ Augustin.
The 23 win season Knicks deserve a grade "F" for their decision making and non-action in the 2008 Draft.
The Knick President did nothing to make other NBA Players who want to be traded this offseason have their Agents work out a deal with their team and the Knicks team for a deal.
Start fresh under new management! We don't need any more unproven veterans! Go for youth!
I seen both and theres not really any similarities. smh @ lanceroy catching feelings for no reason
Celtics B
Didn't do enough to get a higher grade
Bobcats A-
DJ was a great pick, we will seem him shine for years to come, but what about Ray Felton?
Bulls A
Derrick Rose will be a star
Cavs C+
They didn't make the moves needed to build around LeBron
Mavs F
They have ruined their team, they should have made plenty of moves this draft
Nuggets C
They got one second rounder, wow big deal
Pistons B
They should've made a couple moves, but at least they didn't make bad moves
Warriors B
Not much to say about them
Rockets A
Donte Greene was a steal
Pacers A+
Both Rush and Hibbert will be starters in years to come
Clips A
I was expecting a move
Lakers C
Should've made a move to get a higher pick, they need to replace Odom in my opinion with someone more fit for Kobe
Grizz F
Mayo will be good, but they traded Mike Miller and Kevin Love away
Heat A+
Their second pick could be a decent backup 1.. Beasely will own in NBA
Bucks A+
They just maybe another team like the Celtics and have a big turnaround
Wolves A+
They made a smart move picking Mayo and trading him for even more
Nets A
Great moves for a re-building team (I used to hate NJ, but now I like NJ)
Knicks B+
Gallinari could be a star
Magic C
Didn't make the right moves to biuld around Howard
76ers INC
I'm leaving them out because I have never heard of their pick
Suns A-
Good pick for an offensive team
Portland A-
Roy got the player he needed, Portland will be a contender soon
Kings F
They are no longer a playoff team in my opinion
Sprurs B
The best thing they did was keeping their team the wayt it its
OK city Sonics F
They are a joke now
Raptors N/A
One pick, second rounder
Jazz B+
Koufos was a steal that late
Wiz F
No moves, they shoula made some
This is my biggest post ever, took a while
Miller and Love won't take Minnesota no where.
Conley/Mayo/Gay > Foye/McCants/Miller
Jefferson/Love is good, but Love won't have much as in impact as Mayo will.
Most Minnesota fans hate the thread anyway and would disagree with your statement.
agree with most of your analisyst but you might be giving out too many A's i mean SPeights might have potential but Al jefferson is a young 20pt 10 rb guy...i feel that an A goes to whoever got a steal and a team that got more than one guy that can be productive.

The Eternal Beach-Body Plan
Phase II - Week 5: Workout II
Exercise V: Standing One-Arm Row
Sets: 2 Reps: 10 Rest: 30 Seconds
Grab a dumbbell in your right hand and split your stance so that your left foot is in front of the right. Keeping your lower back in its natural arch, bend over at the hips until your torso is about 45 degrees to the floor [1]. Row the weight up to the side of your chest [2]. Lower the dumbbell to return to the starting position. That's one rep. Complete 10 reps with the right arm, and then switch legs and arms and repeat.

11 NCAA Div. III individual championships
PELLA—The Central College track and field teams dominated Saturday's Central Invitational, as the No. 6-ranked men scored 239 points en route to the team title, while the women matched their feat with 214 points.
The Dutch men bested a nine-team field, while the women topped a seven-team field. Both included full squads from William Penn, Simpson and Clarke.
"It's always great to be running at home in front of our crowd," coach Joe Dunham said. "Overall we had great performances across the board. I was really happy with the effort today.
"I was proud of how the student-athletes represented Central College. The support staff and coaches did a great job as well. I'm truly blessed to coach Dutch track and field."
The invitational also served as the track and field debut for the Daktronics video display scoreboard, which was installed this fall thanks to a significant gift from PPI (Precision Pulley & Idler, Inc.) of Pella. Coach Dunham said it improved the student-athlete and fan experience alike.
"The video board was an incredible addition," said Dunham. "To see live video of races and results immediately following each race really added to the overall experience."
Next the Central track teams journey to Des Moines for Friday and Saturday's Jim Duncan Invitational hosted by Drake University.
Central women's sprinters set pace—Sophomore Abi Davis (Des Moines, Dowling Catholic HS) topped last week's 400-meter dash time with 58.46 for first place. The time ranks No. 13 in the nation. The Dutch posted six of the top-seven times in the event.
Junior Hillary Hotz (Fort Dodge, St. Edmond HS) cleared 5-0.25 for first place in the high jump, while senior Maddy Frehe (De Soto, Kan.) was tops in the pole vault, clearing 9-0.25, 0.25 inches shy of her career best.
Junior Taylor Beckman (Panora, Panorama HS) and freshman Emma Drees (Waukee) finished 1-2 in the long jump with marks of 17-2 and 16-2.5, respectively. Beckman's leap is a personal best by more than six inches.
Senior Whitney Pavlat (Pella) won the javelin throw with a toss of 121 feet even. It just shy of her personal record from last week's Washington-St. Louis Invitational.
Junior Alyssa Eaves (Johnston) was runner-up in the 1,500-meter run in 5:04.47. Sophomore Molly Bramble (Waukee) finished less than one second later in third, followed by senior Emma Jo Nelson (Hedrick, Pekin HS) in fourth.
Coach Dunham recognized the effort of junior Meredith Zimmerman (Urbandale), who competed in four events on the day. Zimmerman was third in the 100-meter hurdles in 15.60, third in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:09.88, sixth in the javelin and ran the 4x400 relay.
He also noted freshman Lorell Stuht (Loveland, Colo.), who finished fifth in the hammer throw with a toss of 135 feet even and sixth in the discus with a toss of 113-04.
Dutch men's distance contingent makes waves—It was all Dutch in the 1,500-meter run, led by juniors Drew Jackson (Johnston) and Eli Horton (Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) who finished in 3:55. It's a personal record for Jackson, who edged out Horton at the tape by 0.13 seconds. Both times rank in the top eight nationally. Junior Jamie Vander Veer (Knoxville) was third, followed by senior Austin O'Brien (Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley HS) in fourth.
Sophomore Dan Roemerman (Iowa City, City High HS) won the 110-meter hurdles in 14.90 seconds, a personal best and currently the sixth-fastest time in the nation. Roemerman was also fourth in the 400-meter hurdles in 58.63.
Senior Mitch Wagoner (Iowa Falls, Iowa Falls-Alden HS) finished first in the 200-meter dash in 22.54 seconds. Wagoner was also third in the 100-meter dash in 11.17.
Senior Michael Mackin (Manly, Central Springs HS) was tops in the long jump with a leap of 20-9, while junior Nick Lemmon (Auburn, Wash., Kent-Meridian HS) was best in the pole vault, clearing 12-9.5
In the javelin throw, sophomore Kody Dailey (Iowa City, City High HS) and senior Levi Ross (Wellsburg, Grundy Center HS) finished 1-2 with marks of 159-8 and 150-9.
Junior Connor Freeman (Urbandale) and freshman Logan Mulford (Mount Pleasant) tied for second in the high jump, clearing 6-2, with Mulford earning eight points and Freeman earning six.
Senior Steven Messerschmidt (Neola, Tri-Center HS) was third in the hammer throw with a toss of 166 feet even, while junior Gunnar Johnson (Ankeny, Johnston HS) placed third in the shot put with a mark of 47-11.
Dunham also pointed out the effort of junior Timothy Shepherd (Knoxville), who competed for the first time since cross country season and finished third in the 5,000-meter run in 15:59.08 and was involved in the 4x400-meter relay.

Live Oak County Sheriff Larry Busby said the 1:16 a.m. accident (about five miles west of GW) began before the 2002 Chevrolet pickup Aaron Kameron Adkins was driving even reached the portion of damaged roadway along FM 3336 that initially had been identified as the cause of the accident.
"The condition of the road didn't really seem to be a factor," the sheriff said. "The crash scene was 500 feet long. The driver was ejected about 30 yards — which is close to 90 feet — from where the vehicle ended up. The vehicle rolled five or six times. But it was concluded that speed was the main contributing factor. He just ran off the road and overcorrected."
Adkins was pronounced dead at the scene, reports show. He was alone in his vehicle and was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.
Adkins, 25, of Lancaster, Ohio, had been living in nearby George West working at a ranch but was not employed at the specific time of the accident, according to reports.
Sheriff Busby said the majority of one-vehicle rollover wrecks in these situations can be attributed to aggressive overcorrecting.
"When somebody runs off the road to whatever side, they jerk it automatically to get back on the pavement," he explained. "When the tires hit the pavement, it shoots the vehicle across the road. When you jerk the wheel back a second time in response, centrifugal force is what rolls you over. It's better to stay off the pavement for a few seconds to try to slow down — better to try to do that in a bar ditch than to get back on the highway."

Teaching vocabulary is one of the most important steps to improving students' background knowledge, thus improving their ability to master new content knowledge. One of the great things about this is that vocabulary practice is incredibly easy to incorporate. Below are some lists of vocabulary words that have common themes, as well as Internet resources and United Streaming videos that support that theme, as well as games and collaborative activities to allow students many opportunities to work with the new words. Please feel free to edit these lists as your curriculum and class readiness dictates. If you have other favorites or have created other lists, I would love to share them (with credit to you, of course). Just click on the link below to attach your files. Let me know if you would like to brainstorm the use of these. Thanks and have fun!
We all have opinions about the best way to teach vocabulary. Marzano's Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement (2004) recommends five key components of effective vocabulary instruction:
The six activities included with each list of words provide opportunities for you and your students to try these components.
*Big thanks to Sherri Sampson at RPDC for her cool activities.*

Just t/a faster and no customs worries.
I order a couple years ago euro pharmacy and it was good I just wanted to know is there a difference in quality euro pharm or USA domestic and I noticed prices where different if someone could tell me that would b nice
Just t/a faster and no customs worries.
Can u Send me PM gotta ask a question
Can't you need more post.
50 I think lol what's is it about ?
About an order I can't say it part of the rules
I had the same question thanks for the answer GH, I just placed an order with Z.
No problem what u get?
First cycle ever been lifting since high school, currently 24, and this past year religiously making solid gains. I'm around 200lbs, 5'5", not sure of body fat but its too high to be honest been getting my diet dialed in this past couple months. I decided to do a test only cycle for the first time to learn my body. Test E 500mgs a week, 10mg of aromasin ed, and for pct continue aromasin and nolvadex for 4 weeks.
Should just hold on to the nova just incase of gyno,but get some Clomid for pct 100/75/75/50. Get diet in check consider it like priming up.
Oh ok. What's the reason for clomid over the nolva?
Its my understanding that the EP line and USA domestic are the same exact products, just one is shipped from over seas and one is shipped from the US. Why does this matter? Overseas packages have to go through customs and get "inspected". They are purposely looking for illegal things being shipped into the US. Odds are even if they catch your package you will only get a seizure letter and not get in any trouble, and most sites have resend policy's so it's all good. For me I've gotten a few overseas packages just fine, then one got seized and I got a lette. They resent the package and it got seized again. At this point I am skeptical of keep getting things seized so am using Zs domestic. Z is one of the few people who offer domestic and they have a great reputation. I assume it's more becuase they took the risk shipping it into the Us. Domestic mail isn't checked. Z's reps please correct me if I'm wrong on anything I posted above
Yes they are the same products.They just ship from different locations

30X 2 Megapixel Auto Tracker Infrared IP Network PTZ Security Camera
1 of 1 people found this posting helpful
We are thoroughly satisfied with this camera. At a price tag of just under $2,000 you expect a lot from a PTZ camera including high quality performance and video as well as excellent auto tracking capability and I must say we do get that. The auto tracking feature that uses the intelligent video surveillance function is very useful. (You can set up designated "trigger areas" by using your mouse.) The camera is more than just a PTZ camera, it is more like a mini camera/NVR/alarm center. You can record on board using a Micro SD card and never use an NVR. However, I must say that to get optimum results I would suggest that you use one of Security Camera King's NVRs because it is designed to worked especially well with them. Video quality is what you would expect for a 2 megapixel (1080p) resolution camera and the PTZ movements are quick and precise. The camera comes with a ton of extra features and you get good, free technical support as well.
30X 2 Megapixel Auto Tracker Infrared IP Network PTZ Security Camera
1 of 1 people found this posting helpful
I'm not sure where to start the review on this camera. As a CCTV installer I am more than impressed with the over all performance of this unit. I apologize if my review seems rather long but just saying "excellent camera" doesn't do it or Security Camera King any justice.
I installed this camera recently for a customer that requires top notch security. They do have their own security staff that monitor the location's activities, but this camera is used in a particular location where having an auto-tracker is even more beneficial and the way this particular model works, you can't beat it. This camera is more like a mini computer with a built in motor and lens. You can set the auto tracking feature on this camera so that it basically can create its own alarm trigger areas for tracking. Once an object enters into the area(s) that you have pre-programmed the camera knows that it needs to start auto tracking that object. In a way, its almost like having a silent "keep out" factor. Of course it also comes with typical PTZ features such as tours, patterns and presets.
The video quality is beyond impressive. Using a full high definition resolution of 2 megapixels and combining it with a 230X power zoom lens, there is very little that this camera will ever miss. Of course the video recorded is crisp, colorful, and smooth. And while on the subject of recording, if you do not have access to an NVR for some reason, you can still record locally to an on board micro SD card. And this particular unit can accept not just the standard 32 gig micro cards but the newer 64 gig micro cards as well. There are also plenty of features to assist in getting the right picture including Smart IR LED technology to prevent underexposure or washout, back light compensation, digital noise reduction, and even headlight compensation. This isn't the type of camera that you'll see a lot of customers purchase because of its uniqueness and price, but if you have the need for this type of unit, you won't find one better anywhere else.
HD-CVI PTZ-20X 1.3MP - 720P With 250 Ft. IR
1 of 2 people found this posting helpful
This is a quite a step up from our old D1 PTZ camera and it didn't cost a tremendous amount of money. The picture is crisp and clear and the resolution is high definition. The camera has that Security Camera King Smart infrared technology where it uses one set of infrared LED's to illuminate shots that are within close range to the camera and another set of infrared LEDs that illuminate the object at further distances with a good range of up to 250 feet. That distance coincides well with the magnification power of the zoom lens. Of course the best part of using this PPTZ is that when we replaced our older system with the new HD-CVI system, we didn't have to re-run cables which is certainly beneficial because this camera is located away from the plant, in the back of the storage yard. No doubt that I would recommend this camera.

I had a 36-week baby on March 28, at first, being premature she had trouble with the latch, she just wouldn't do it, then at the hospital they showed me the breast shield trick, and it just did the whole difference. I used breast shields for two weeks because, even if I tried, she just couldn't latch. Then one day, she was able to do it, and we got rid of the breast shield. Now I'm exclusively breastfeeding and bed-sharing (which makes the difference for night feedings, you are not exhausted all day and your LO eats more often).
So I recommend you try the breast shields and keep up with the good work. Trust me, there is nothing like feeling your baby feed from you, and know she's thriving. GO FOR IT!

Brothers and sisters of the Internet, we are living in a Golden Age of the strange. On any given day, you may see Germans declare war against all ice and motherfuckers or watch the proud people of Norwegia have some time with traditional burga moving. Yet in the lifespan of every medium there is a sweet spot -- a place where the perfect timing meets the perfect failure or the perfect enthusiasm to create a moment of sublime insanity that will never be duplicated. Let's look back on the "best" moments from six different areas of America's rich and absurd pop culture.
6Literature -- How to Be Famous, 2009
There have always been and will always be celebrities who are famous for nothing. The fact that they exist tends to baffle and infuriate industrious people, but that's a good thing -- uniting in our disgust of objectively terrible people is how we won World War II. About five years ago, we saw a huge spike of empty celebrities. The Writers Guild strike turned TV into a wasteland of reality programming, and hundreds of people were making a living by being stupid bitches with anger management problems.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were probably the worst examples of this. Everyone hated them, so they got more media coverage, so everyone hated them. They were so successful at being douchebags that they wrote a book about it. It was only published in English because it translates into a declaration of war in every other language.
The dumbest and worst among you are probably saying, "Those two made money by doing nothing -- they just knew how to game the system!" They didn't. Heidi and Spencer are DNA swabs that somehow grew to adulthood and escaped the crime lab. Their book makes it clear that all they did was anything and everything to get attention with no foresight or regard to their dignity. Spencer Pratt would put his cock in his own father if he thought it would get his proctologist to ask him to move. And it's strange that I bring up fathers and asses, because Heidi Montag's penis was actually formed from her father's ass tissue. It was an unorthodox procedure, but when the Argentine plastic surgeon with a bag of her father's ass and a gun to his head asked her if she was sure, she replied, "Yay, someone's looking at me!"
Huh. You'd think a human toilet made out of plastic would have more insight into butt implants than "Babble, babble, get breast augmentation."
I don't want this to only be personal attacks. These cancerous fucks wrote a book, and I'll review it. First of all, How to Be Famous was written as bad advice for people who are currently reality TV stars. It won't help you get famous in any way, and in fact, it will get people to like you less if you already are. It is simply a list of things Heidi and Spencer have done to get noticed since they appeared on TV. If you asked a 4-year-old girl to list the fastest ways to get ice cream, it would be almost the same book.
"When you're the bestest at smarting, you attribute quotes to yourself in your [own] work." - Seanbaby
In How to Be Famous, Heidi wrote a chapter on how to make a face like you hate someone. Can you imagine being this moronic? This loosely fastened pile of silicone and pulp was staring at herself in a mirror, and instead of saying, "Who left all this pastrami on my skeleton?" she said, "I look mean! I should be a mean-face-making coach!" Heidi, you elastic cow, even assuming that this ability wasn't built into every face ever, who needs that skill? Cats? Women who want to have sex with angry men, only one time each? Not everyone is your mother.
The best part of the book is Heidi and Spencer's delusion. They truly think they are outsmarting everyone who looks at them. They talk about how they spin their own media coverage, but only give two examples. One, they never go out at night, since their paparazzi photos don't look as nice by flashbulb light. And two, they came clean about Heidi's record-breaking amounts of elective plastic surgery. Because of their honesty, the story was not "Speidi Rumors: Did This Insecure Slut Rebuild Her Entire Physical Structure Out of Hot Dog?" No, after Spencer Pratt cleverly pulled the media's strings, the headline was "Heidi Montag Confesses! 'Why I Look Like a Sex Doll That Crawled Out of the Ground After a Warlock Peed on Its Grave!'"
Does the book work? Well, Heidi's music album cost $2 million to produce and her fame helped sell slightly over 1,000 copies. And she and her husband were so "great" at being famous that in 2009, the E! network took a poll of its viewers, and they agreed that Heidi and Spencer should be banned from the network. To put that into perspective, E! has 11 shows about fashion critics judging the tampons they steal from the Kardashians' trash. When E! looks at you and says, "We're better than this," you've violated the warranty on your human soul.
5Comics -- Billy Ray Cyrus, 1995
There have been a number of strange celebrity comic books and bizarre crossovers. For 18 years, Bob Hope had a comic about sexually assaulting women; Eminem the rapper beat the crap out of the Punisher; and Jay Leno once helped Spider-Man defeat ninjas. They all pale in comparison to the Billy Ray Cyrus comic from the Marvel Music line.
In 1992, you couldn't get rid of the song "Achy Breaky Heart." It was the Lyme disease of music. For the entire year, it was how most radio stations told listeners that another 180 seconds had passed. If you lived in the country, this song spent more time in your ear than ear mite eggs and cousin tongues combined. Marvel Comics knew it had to create a comic based on Billy Ray Cyrus while he was the most famous singer in the world. Unfortunately, this comic didn't come out until three years and zero hit songs later.
Billy Ray Cyrus was written by Paul S. Newman, who holds the Guinness Record for most comics published -- 4,100. Obviously, you only get numbers like that by selecting your projects carefully and giving each of them your best effort. Which is weird, because this comic seems like something you would only write if you were looking for a fun way to tell the other Scooby-Doo scriptwriters that you quit.
The story begins with a young boy telling Billy Ray Cyrus about a Cherokee ghost he saw in an old fort. Billy Ray Cyrus believes it and invites him and his girlfriend backstage, where Cyrus is mostly nude and adjusting his mullet with a horse brush. He shirtlessly insists that they put on cowboy costumes and go camping with him. Most stories would end here, but this is Kentucky, where children are taught only to be afraid of snakes and fitness because "molestation" is too difficult to spell. So they agree. To everything.
The singer gives his new children friends rifles and flashlights, and they spend the evening looking for ghosts. In a fun twist, a nearby Cherokee scout sees them and thinks they are ghosts. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to play the victim near Indians under any circumstance, but this is a very hurtful stereotype. Some of my best friends are white, and yes, we sometimes get together and chase Pac-Man, but that does not mean all Caucasians are ghosts.
After deciding that the two teens and the country music standout were definitely ghosts, the Native Americans start a war chant and open fire on the fort. I'm not sure what's stranger -- the fact that mid-'90s Indians had a protocol in place for defeating fort ghosts, or that it was just yelling and arrows. I wasn't expecting proton packs, but shouldn't they summon spirit coyotes or weave a dream catcher or something? They went from "Hey, I think someone's over there" to "Kill the ghosts!" in less than five minutes. How many tourists have these maniacs accidentally killed?
I should mention that Billy Ray Cyrus and the kids think that the Indians are also ghosts. I don't blame them, since at this point literally nothing else would make sense. Billy Ray forms a brilliant plan -- he fire blanks at the undead with his vintage gun! Scientists say it's the same way he conceived Miley Cyrus.
Due to a weird stroke of luck, the Indians were using toy rifles, too. Wait, what? How many fucking ghosts are there in Kentucky that none of the state's gun owners thought they'd ever need real bullets?
After hearing two gunshots come from the fort, the Cherokees are now sure they're dealing with ghosts that have rifles and run the other way. By this point, some of the Native Americans are probably figuring out that nobody here is a ghost, but that would have no effect on their reaction. Running the other way is how all non-white people react when Billy Ray Cyrus makes noise.
The story ends with the chief fleeing into a bear, fleeing back toward the fort, and shrieking for the ghosts to shoot it. It's like the esteemed writer Paul S. Newman mistook "plot twists" for "Indians changing directions." By the time all the confused characters realize that the ghosts are Native Americans, Billy Ray Cyrus, and a terrified teen couple with nothing in common with ghosts in any way, they are completely numb to insanity. Which is good, because in the next story, the Billy Ray Cyrus tour bus accidentally drives to A.D. 1295, where he stops a medieval army with a laser gun.
I'm kind of amazed that you thought I might be kidding.
There are limits to fantasy. Even the author of this Billy Ray Cyrus comic, who felt that it was OK to send him back in time to fight knights and dragons, was unable to picture a world where anyone could tolerate his music.

I'm new to the board...
I had breast implants 1.5 years ago..I still have scar tissue under the nipple that hurts from my 12 day old baby's extremely hard sucking. I opted to bottle feed formula and began the process of letting my milk dry up. It didn't really dawn on me that I could pump breast milk and feed it to him via a bottle when my milk came in 3 or 4 days after his birth. I am now trying to relactate using a pump as it doesn't hurt nearly as much as him sucking. Can I be successful at relactation using exclusively a pump every couple of hours? I do try to nurse at least a couple times a day but the pain is too much sometimes and I can only handle about 5mn on each breast. I'd be happy with 4 to 6 ounces of breast milk a day if that's all I can get.
I also read about fenugreek. Does this work for most ladies?

Palm Beach Money

When money doesn't count much

You might call it a Sterling Silver Deal. I'm referring of course to the basically itsy bitsy fine NBA Commission Adam Silver imposed on billionaire Donald Sterling for his horrendous racist comments.
To many of the top 1 percent wage earners in America, where becoming a member of that elite club only takes an annual income of a few hundred thousand dollars, ($380.354 in 2010), the 2.5 million dollar fine Sterling was slapped with would have meant something and impacted their financial world with a mound of hurt.
But when you consider that Forbes estimates Sterling's worth at $1.9 billion, 2.5 million [More]
