Loving being a Mom of 3, 40 months apart!!
Insane advice is given all the time! lol When I was a baby, I had a spit up problem, and the dr told my mom to stop feeding me all together. My mom asked how long, and he said if you feed her she will spit up so just don't. My mom said she will eventually die if she doesn't eat.......the dr shrugged and said, yeah. My mom is a very literal person and doesn't take things with humor or a grain of salt. She takes every thing literally. I was just a baby so I don't know if the dr was joking or just no sense. But, yeah people/drs say stupid things all the time.
That being said, keep on nursing. There's nothing better or easier on a babies inside then mommy's milk which is specifically designed for your LO. Your specific milk changes and enhances especially for your LO! Your milk is the best thing you can give her.

Agree with all the mamas on here. Keep BFing! BM will hydrate your baby better than formula, water or pedialyte. BM will also be easier for your baby to absorb the nutrients since everything in BM is easily absorbed and does not require baby to breakdown any components for absorption (unlike formula). Also, the comfort that nursing would provide baby during baby's time of illness would definitely help!
hope your babe gets better mama, hang in there!

Thomas, superintendent of the Beeville Independent School District, told one of the 10 Tea Party members during a meeting at the Joe Barnhart Bee County Library that the State Board of Education does not design or require all the tests that Texas school students have been required to take over the years.
Thomas, who said she had worked on writing some of the tests created over the years, ran down a list of the requirements that the Texas Legislature has passed.
Today, students in the state are required to show that they have the basic "essential knowledge and skills" that a high school graduate should have after graduation.
One of those attending the meeting asked about discipline problems in Texas schools today.
Again, Thomas said that had little to do with the local school system.
"Our hands are tied in terms of discipline," Thomas said. "A student who comes into class and drops the F-bomb on a teacher, we have (him) arrested," Thomas said.
However, one justice of the peace in Bee County routinely dismisses those cases, saying they are a school problem.
"It's not a school problem," Thomas said. "It's assault."
Thomas went on to outline some of the requirements handed down by legislators that interfere with the job of teaching students.
Elementary schools are required to teach sex education, for example. And schools are also required to provide a level of fitness programs.
"It's mandated curriculum," Thomas said.
The superintendent said 25 percent of the school year these days is spent on testing. And the teachers have to prepare their students for the tests, so schools end up spending about a third of the school year on testing.
Today, schools are asking the state to scale back on some of the testing requirements.
One of those attending the meeting asked what it would take to change the system.
But another Tea Party member asked, "How to you expect things to change if no parent is aware of the problem?'
Thomas then explained another problem with Texas high schools, saying the state is requiring that all students pass a number of difficult mathematics courses to be able to graduate. If they do not pass those, they are required to take even more difficult courses the next year.
"Texas is going to have a lot of dropouts," she warned.
Thomas also addressed the fact that not all high school students are cut out to spend four more years in college. It is a mistake to think all students should go to a college or university.
In many other cases, the parents are to blame for the performance of the students.
Thomas said there are parents in Beeville who believe that a GED was good enough for them and it should be good enough for their children.
When asked about drugs in schools, Thomas said she was aware that is a major worry in Beeville. But again, school districts have their hands tied when trying to deal with the problem.
The school is allowed to bring in drug-sniffing dogs, and they do that here. But the students are required to leave the classroom before the dog enters, and the dogs are not allowed to sniff the students themselves.
Thomas said she has written letters to Gov. Rick Perry and to legislators.
"There are 1,026 superintendents in Texas," Thomas said. "They (legislators) don't always listen to us."
Thomas said the only way schools in Texas can change is for the parents to want it and then vote accordingly.
She said some school districts allow seniors to walk at graduation if they don't pass all the requirements. "We don't," she said.
The superintendent said another thing school districts need is a way to be more flexible to deal with different ability levels among the students.
One of the projects the BISD is trying is teleconferences where teachers of certain subjects are able to reach students in other school districts or campuses.
"The kids love it," Thomas said. "It's how kids are learning these days. I'd like to see more of it."
She recommended that persons interested in seeing changes and improvements made in Texas schools contact a website called "Raise Your Hand Texas."
The project was started by Charles Butts of the H-E-B Food Store company. It helps connect parents to other parents and allows them to learn more about ways to improve Texas schools.

How on Earth do you read the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, if not as, in order: subject/appostive (with prepositional phrase)/parenthetical [including list*]/verb phrase/prepositional phrase:
(*what do you call that?)
We/the People (of the United States),/ in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,/ do ordain and establish this Constitution/ for the United States of America.
Where does a copulative come in, unless it were "We and the people," which is counter-intuitive and, if mere jingoism, counter-productive.
And how do you read "We are the people," when the verb phrase is "do hereby. . ."

Least we, the people, forget, words are about meaning, that is, words are about the transfer of information about sensory perceptions from one sapient entity to another.
Cooccurring with the usage of the clarifying aside "the people" in the United States Constitution, the use of the phrase "we the people" became a single thought unit, a rallying cry in direct opposition to "we the ruled and oppressed". Somuchso that if written without prescription "we the people" would read "wethepeople" as a single word.
Today the term "we the people" is used by Americans to remind our entrenched government officials that they exist only at our pleasure and discretion.
And as of yet they haven't sent out any troops.
Metheposter thinks so anyway.

Windscreen wiper and washer systems of motor vehicles
This Regulation lays down rules concerning windscreen wiper and washer systems of motor vehicles. The aim is to adapt current requirements to developments in scientific and technical knowledge.
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1008/2010 of 9 November 2010 concerning type-approval requirements for windscreen wiper and washer systems of certain motor vehicles and implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor (Text with EEA relevance).
This Regulation establishes type-approval requirements for windscreen wiper * and washer * systems of motor vehicles. It forms part of the implementation of the Regulation on the general safety of motor vehicles.
Type of vehicle concerned
This Regulation applies to vehicles of category M1, i.e. vehicles designed and built for passenger transport with, in addition to the driver's seat, a seating capacity not exceeding eight passengers.
Requirements concerning windscreen wipers and washer systems

Chara muscles upBruins' power play
Zdeno Chara stands, stick ready, body working. He fights for space, his elbow moving around the torso of an opposing defenseman, a little bump pushing his 6-foot-9-inch frame and 255 pounds into better position.
This, for now, is the face of the Bruins new-look power play, a big body in a big spot for a team that has struggled significantly on what should be an advantage. Their power play rated poorly a tie for 25th in the NHL in 2012-13.
The team has succeeded despite its power play, not because of it, and thats long been something that the Bruins would like to change. Since the 2009-10 season, the Bruins have finished no higher than tied for 14th on the power play, scoring on 14.8 percent in 2012-13, 17.2 percent in 2011-12, 16.2 percent in 2010-11, and 16.6 percent in 2009-10.
But now they might be on to something.
The Bruins scored two more power-play goals in Monday nights exhibition win over Washington, both by the hand of Chara one on a redirect from the net front on a Dennis Seidenberg shot, one from the point on a five-on-three. Thats nine preseason power-play goals in five games. (For the record, the Bruins had 18 power-play goals all of last season.)
It should be pointed out, of course, that the Bruins are not always facing opponents top penalty-killing units. But that doesnt take away from the fact that theyre having unusual success and keeping it simpler than in previous years, something that seems to have helped.
Obviously 1/8the power plays3/8 been pretty good for us in the preseason, Milan Lucic said. I think we just need to stay sharp and keep working on it in practice.
I think the best thing is our puck movement is a lot better. I think theres confidence in making those good passes and guys are shooting the puck when they have the opportunity as well.
That isnt due entirely to Chara, of course. Theres a newcomer whose power-play skill has been a significant feature of his game. Of Jarome Iginlas 530 career goals in the NHL, 165 have come on the man advantage. He has scored at least 10 power-play goals in 10 of his 16 seasons.
And thats not even taking into account the abilities of fellow newcomer Loui Eriksson, who should be taking shifts with the second power-play group.
Iginla will likely be on the first unit, along with Torey Krug, David Krejci, Chara, and Lucic. It should be a dynamic fivesome, with Krug having proven in the playoffs that he can man the point, freeing up Chara for net-front duty.
Once there, he is tough to move, tough to see around, and certainly tough to play against.
Zs not just in front to screen, Zs in there for more than that, coach Claude Julien said. People dont see him as a quick skater, but hes got the long reach in retrieving those loose pucks; hes very good at it as well.
With that long reach, he can either poke it back to the half-walls or he can get it himself.
I think theres a lot more qualities in Zdeno in front than people think. And I know people see the size of him for a screen, but he does more things than that to be valuable in front.
It has shown. Of course, its early, and there is the possibility that putting Chara in front will increase his likelihood of injury. So there are caveats.
But while it wont always go the way it did in the Bruins first preseason game they scored four goals on six man-advantage opportunities against the Canadiens almost anything would be an improvement over last season.
We are just getting used to it, Chara said. Its not always working the way we want, but thats the way it is sometimes. We arent always getting the perfect looks, but at times we have to keep it simpler and always work hard. It doesnt matter who we have over there, we just have to keep outworking those four guys.
There has been puck movement. There have been well-directed shots from the point. There have been redirects that have found their way past that goal line and onto the scoreboard.
A major part of that has been Chara, who has said that he doesnt mind being stationed in front of the net. He also doesnt mind being back at the point. He like everyone else on the Bruins bench just wants to see some results from the hard work on the power play.
He was in front with a lot of chaos going on and a lot of loose pucks, so he creates some havoc in front of there, Julien said of Charas performance against the Capitals on Monday. Youre going to see him at the point at times and on that five-on-three, you saw what his shot can do as well from back there.
So we continue to look at that, and we may start with that and may switch during the season; 82 games is a long year, so nothing is carved in stone.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

- Title
- Qualitative interviewing of older adults: offline versus online methods
- Author(s)
- Malta, Sue
- Abstract
- The current paper is based on a study of 45 Australian older adults (aged 60 – 92 years) and their offline and online romantic relationships. It discusses the four different interview methods that were used to collect the data: (i) face-to-face, (ii) telephone, (iii) instant messaging and (iv) email. It is argued that with increasing numbers of older adults making use of the Internet, online interviewing provides researchers in ageing a further means of access to segments of this population. Online interviewing has many benefits, not least of which are that it is both cost effective and efficient. Furthermore, if the nature of the research topic is of a potentially sensitive nature, as in the project reported here (love, sex and intimacy), the use of online interviewing can help alleviate potentially embarrassing and confrontational moments which can occur for both researcher and participants with more traditional face-to-face and telephone interviewing methods.

Acer Aspire Timeline M3 Ultra pictures and hands-on
Until now the Ultrabook just hasn't been that ultra. Compared to the MacBook Air not much has been able to match its day-to-day computing speeds. But where Windows triumphs is in gaming, the problem is that the size of an Ultrabook makes putting a decent GPU inside relatively hard.
This has all changed with the Timeline M3, which features one of Nvidia's new mobile GPUs - the 640m. With 1GB of Video memory inside, Nvidia is telling us that this Ultrabook can run Battlefield 3 on ultra settings at the laptop's native 1366 x 768 resolution.
On top of this, the M3 has an i5 2467m clocked at 1.6 GHz and 4GB of RAM. There is an 256 GB SSD option but the version we had featured a 450GB hard drive. The standard Ultrabook internals make for a decent enough Windows experience with very little lag. Start up and instant on also work very well, as does the battery, which lives up to the touted 8 hours Acer is saying it's capable of. Even more impressive is that the graphics card, even when running under load, will shorten the battery life only to about five hours.
Acer has gone for a 15.6" CineCrystal LED display with this laptop. It makes the hardware slightly beefier and detracts from that portability element you expect from an Ultrabook. The inclusion of a disc drive also adds quite a bit of thickness, making the M3 closer to the size of a MacBook Pro. It seems the Ultrabook moniker is now being applied to hardware of all different shapes and sizes. At 20mm thick, this is nearly more than double the MacBook Air.
In terms of hardware, the M3 is a bit of a mixed bag. The touchpad for example, is quite frankly terrible. But then the keyboard is really nice to use, as is the screen, which is balanced and has decent viewing angles. The brushed-metal body is definitely slightly more premium feeling than many Windows laptops and helps add to the high spec feel of the M3. It is, however, a real magnet for finger marks, so expect to be wiping it clean a lot. Dolby home theatre speakers ensure that whatever game you are playing sounds decent enough through the M3, but don't expect any serious levels of bass or balance coming from its speakers.
So can the M3 deliver on the graphics front? In a word, yes. Battlefield 3 really does run on ultra at a more than playable frame rate. The Ultrabook chomps through games like Batman Arkham City or Mass Effect 3, which is amazing given the next most-powerful gaming laptop, the Alienware M17x, weighs a ton and is much thicker.
All in all a good laptop package then. Acer does need to cut down on its included software though, because there is all sorts of rubbish that will boot on startup. Once you have that cleaned out, this is one of the nippiest and lightest portable Windows experiences available.

6/7/05 at Shea Stadium
Yesterday, I said I'd have no trouble getting four balls at Shea and reaching #2,500. Then I realized the Mets were playing the Astros…the very stingy Astros, who don't give away many balls. And then I realized that Pedro was pitching and that the stadium would be packed. Before I left my place at 3:30pm, I knew it would be a struggle. By the time Gate C opened 70 minutes later, there was as large a crowd as I've seen all year.
Most fans went to the dugouts for autographs. I sprinted to the right field foul line and quickly got Royce Ring to throw me a ball, making it 392 consecutive games for me at which I've snagged at least one.
Three balls to go…
Right field was filling up fast, and the Mets did not hit a single ball into the seats. That's the problem with Shea. There are no field level seats in fair territory, and major league hitters are usually pretty good at keeping the ball fair off 60mph batting practice pitching. After 35 minutes, I still had just one ball, and I abandoned right field.
It took about two minutes to run back toward home plate through the concourse and make it out to left field. I was drenched in sweat. Free exercise! The seats were just as crowded, but at least I was a new face. Some ballboy-type guy fielded a line drive down the line, and I called out for it, not knowing if he even had permission to give balls away.
He did.
Unfortunately, however, he threw it ten feet over my head into the mostly empty seats. I didn't have a clear path up the stairs to the ball because it skipped to the next box, on the other side of a railing. Three other guys raced ahead of me up the stairs and cut across the row where they'd seen the ball land. Luckily, they all forgot about this thing called gravity and had to watch helplessly as the ball trickled down the steps right to me.
Two balls to go…
Again, the Mets weren't hitting anything into the seats. The front row was packed with fans everywhere I went. It was just one of those days. There weren't any opportunities–except for the ones I created–so I ditched left field and went to the 3rd base dugout as the Astros were preparing for BP. There was a basket of balls sitting on the warning track. Players and coaches were using them to play catch and returning them when they were done. It was amazing how NO ONE would toss me a ball or even look up at me.
Finally, I got the attention of Houston's 1st base coach, Jose Cruz, Sr. He was standing 50 feet away with a ball in his hand. When I asked for it, he gave me this weird look. I couldn't tell if he was being playful or snotty, so I held my glove over my head. Weird look #2. I held my glove way out to the side. Weird look #3. I wrapped my glove hand behind my back and gave him a target there. Weird look #4. And no ball.
What is it with the Astros?
A minute later, Brad Lidge came out of the dugout and headed for the basket. I asked him for a ball, and he actually acknowledged my existence. I think he was about to toss one to me when Cruz appeared out of nowhere and tossed me his.
One ball to go…
Three minutes later, I asked Brad Ausmus for a ball, but Cruz heard me and said something to him. I read his lips: "He's already got one."
Thanks a lot.
I ran back out to left field and headed to the corner. The Astros pitchers were playing catch. The next ball would be #2,500. Who was going to give it to me? Who was going to go down in history?
Dan Wheeler or John Franco? Nope.
Chad Qualls or Russ Springer? Sorry.
Wandy Rodriguez or Chad Harville? No, sir.
Willy Taveras? Not.
Orlando Palmeiro? Fuggetaboudit.
Humberto Quintero? Negatory.
Dr. Gene Coleman, the strength & conditioning coach? Yeah Right.
It was a disaster, and I was stuck at 2,499 when BP ended.
I had half an hour to kill.
I wandered.
I took a few pictures.
I got Andy Pettitte's autograph.
Before the game, Adam Everett and Morgan Ensberg played catch down the 3rd base line. Did they toss me the ball? Ha.
After the national anthem, David Wright and Chris Woodward got loose in front of the Mets dugout. "David!!! David!!! Right here!!!" Could it be?! Ball #2,500?! No.
Once the game started, I pretty much knew that I had to get a foul ball, so I headed one level up to the Loge and doubled my chances, playing righties and lefties differently by running back and forth (through the concourse behind the seats) to the 1st and 3rd base side of home plate. There were no empty seats. I had to stand in the runways the whole time…and those runways are slanted up. It's tough on the calf muscles. Anyway, I came close several times in the first few innings. One ball came right at me but fell two rows short. Another one flew ten feet over my head, hit the press box facade, and ricocheted just a bit too hard into the seats below the main aisle. A third ball sailed right above me into the first row of the Mezzanine where a fan reached out and made a bare-handed catch.
I kept rushing back and forth to the 1st and 3rd base sides. The Mets lineup?
Jose Reyes = switch-hitter batting lefty.
Mike Cameron = righty.
Carlos Beltran = switch-hitter batting lefty.
Cliff Floyd = lefty. (Wow! Two lefties in a row!)
Mike Piazza = righty.
Marlon Anderson = lefty.
David Wright = righty.
Kaz Matsui = switch-hitter batting lefty.
Pedro Martinez = righty.
The Astros had three righties in a row in their lineup (Everett, Ausmus, Oswalt), but it wasn't much easier. I probably ran about five miles inside the stadium last night…but actually, I wasn't able to run the whole time because there were a few security supervisors hanging out in the concourse. If they saw me zipping by, they'd know something was up, so I had to slow down and, as a result, often missed the first pitch to each batter.
By the 4th inning, I was getting upset, almost embarrassed, to have predicted catching #2,500 and then fall one ball short. Minutes later, on 1-2 pitch with nobody out in the bottom of the frame, Marlon Anderson tipped one several feet to my left. I was already standing, of course, and as soon as the ball left the bat, other people stood up. It was one of those looping foul balls with lots of top spin. I knew it had the perfect distance, and I figured I had time to get there, but I was worried that everyone else would have time to get there and reach in front of me. I ran up the last few feet of the runway, squeezed past a vendor and a couple of fans, saw the ball coming…coming…coming, stepped forward, reached up and to my left, and made the one-handed catch.
Hell yeah.
The usher came over and, not knowing who I was or that I didn't belong there, shook my hand. Other fans congratulated me on the "great catch." (The only thing great about it was that none of them got in my way. Well no, the timing was pretty great, too. I mean, how lucky that I didn't get a fourth ball before the game. Number 2,500 could just as easily have been tossed to me at the dugout by Astros bullpen assistant Stretch Suba.)
I felt so good. I didn't care what happened for the rest of the night, but I kept running back and forth until I realized that Pedro was taking a no-hitter into the 7th inning. I decided I'd done my work for the evening, so I sat in a less-than-ideal seat and rooted for the future Hall of Famer to get nine more outs. How cool would this be, I thought. Catching my 2,500th ball and seeing the first no-no in Mets history on the same night?!
It wasn't meant to be. With one out in the 7th, Chris Burke (who?) spoiled the no-hitter AND the shutout with his first major league homer, a solo shot into the Astros left field bullpen.
C r a p.
But Pedro recovered and pitched the complete game, allowing just one other hit and fanning 12. He struck out the side in the 9th inning. I have to say, it was one of the most exciting games I've ever been to. Final score: Mets 3, Astros 1.
The Zack Stats:
2,500 total balls.
82 game balls.
69 balls in 10 games this season = 6.9 balls per game.
3 game balls this season = one game ball every 3.3 games, although if you take into account the fact that I had to leave four of those games before the end of the 3rd inning…
When I got home, I saw myself on SportsCenter for half a second because I was behind the Mets dugout for the final out and (unintentionally) got in the picture as the on-field camera showed a brief clip of Pedro celebrating as he headed off the field.

Congrats Zack. Great post. How many major league player's autographs do you have now? You seem to get a lot of autographs as well as balls.
Hey, thanks a lot. It feels great to have reached #2,500 by way of a gamer.
I have 868 autographs on 721 different ticket stubs. Autos are not my priority, but I'm always glad to get them.
Wow. Best entry yet man. The suspense was intoxicating. Congrats.
You know, that ALMOST sounds sarcastic, but I think you really do mean it, so thanks. Sorry you couldn't be there.
Do you have a picture of all your autographs? I'd like to see that, your apartment must be a mini Cooperstown with the memoriabilia you have in there…
Hey Zack, long time reader (… not like that's very long), first time commentor.
Congrats. You've inspired me to track my minor league Baseball collection.
I don't have photos of my autographs. I've only taken pics of the few from this season so I can share them in my blog. My childhood bedroom was the real baseball shrine. All my stuff is still at my parents' place, and most of it is now boxed up.
This feels like a talk show on sports radio ("long-time listener, first-time caller," you know?). Thanks for reading and finally commenting. How many minor league balls do you have? None from The Show?
Zack, This was truly your best work so far on MLBlogs. Last night I was at Shea and wish you had been there. I never ever try for balls, but last night, I got inspired and did it half heartedly and came home with 8 balls. The Mets were taking BP and Heath Bell was shagging fly balls out in LF, so I asked and he nodded politely. It was a nice lob right to me and so catchable. No one was around for about the first 20 minutes or so. It was paradise for a ball snagger, not that I would ever consider myself one. Lucky, yes, ball snagger, heck no. LOL!!! I went down the 3rd base line to catch a glipse of my favorite Met, David Wright and asked him for a ball. He said he would after he finished his ground ball drill. Sure enough, he tossed me one as soon as he was done and dashed to the cage to get his hitting in. Then Miguel Cairo came out to 3rd base and I asked him in spanish, which always seems to work with the Latin American players and tossed one to me that he was carrying in his back pocket. It was amazing, I wasn't even trying. Just before Mets BP ended, I headed towards the Mets dugout and was able to get Chris Woodward's attention. I knew he had a ball in his glove because he was working at 1B and didn't toss the ball back into the ball bag. I politely asked and he tossed it right to me over the dugout. I asked him how his wife and baby were doing. He smiled and said they were doing just fine. I used to see Woodward a lot with the Blue Jays and met his wife and baby while my friend Darrin Fletcher was his teammate. I told him that I had lost touch with Fletcher and he recalled seeing me with him and Cory Lidle on several occassions. He almost didn't want to stop talking, but I wanted to see if I could get any balls from the Astros. So I went back to LF. You are absolutely right, the Astros are extremely stingy, but thanks to my spanish speaking ability I was able to get balls from Jose Cruz Sr., called him by his nickname Cheo, Wandy Rodriguez and Humberto Quintero. Quintero is from Venezuela and I was telling him how I would love to one day go there to catch some winter ball action and he was impressed with my baseball knowledge. Being from Ecuador, we are practically neighbors. Todd Self was my 8th ball as he hit one down the left field seats that bounced up high near my seat. Mind you, I caught all these balls bare handed. Like I said, this wasn't planned & I was laughing hystericallly at what you would be thinking as I was in Zack mode. Oh what a night Zack, you should have been there. Luckily my friend had a duffle bag and we tossed the balls in there. Sweet Shea Stadium, what a beautiful place and a wonderful night. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a Mets victory. Shoot, I would have easily traded in all 8 balls for a Mets win. Congrats on 2,500, I am only 2,492 away from you now. LOL!!!!
George, would you be embarrassed if I start crying? Seriously, I don't know how the **** you did it. I don't know why the universe hates me. I busted my **** and only got four, and look at you, not even trying and walking away with eight. My god. Great story though. Thanks for taking the time to make me feel bad—uh, I mean, share it with everyone.
I'd figure I have about 40 Minor League balls, most of which have been gained from a player throwing it to me. I don't actually have all 40 in my possession though, since I'll occasionally give one to a little kid (because I'm nice like that, and I don't wanna be called a complete jerk) and I'll ocassionally lose one somewhere in a corner of a car or a house). I don't have any official MLB balls, mainly because I have only been to about 6 MLB games in my life, and the only one where I was there for Batting practice was ruined when snotty ushers wouldn't even let me run from one aisle to the next… in a nearly empty Tropicana field!
It's crazy how ushers tend to be rudest in ballparks that are half-empty (or in your case, seven-eighths empty). Boy-o-boy, if *I* were in charge of public relations…
But I digress. Congrats on the 40 (or so) minor league snags. Very nice of you to give some of the balls away. I encourage you document the ones you still have — and see if you can add a few MLB balls to the collection.

It's the season we have all been waiting for! SEAN LOWE is the newest "Bachelor!"
We all remember Sean from Emily's season. He was basically a Ken doll with a heart of gold (a.k.a. the perfect guy).
We remember Sean most for his killer abs (OMG) and romantic gestures (ahhh remember when he ran after Emily as she was driving away just to give her one last kiss?).
Sean reveals to us what really went on behind the scenes this season and if he found true love or not. Plus, we will get the lowdown on all 26 contestants and find out who the mystery woman from is another season looking for love with Sean? Read on to find out!
Sean is ready to find love on the upcoming season of "The Bachelor." Even though he got his heart broken by Emily on "The Bachelorette," his feelings were real and he wants to have those same feelings this time around. He has gone into this experience with an open mind and heart. He truly believes that you can find love on this show.
Sean did have some hesitations, though, but he found his answer by talking with his family and he said he prayed a lot. His parents told him to be himself and stay true to who he is. At the end of the day, Sean wanted to find love and someone to marry and spend his life with. Sean felt he owed it to himself to be the next bachelor.
Sean said he cannot explain what was going through his head as the first limo arrived. He was anxious and excited. He said it was scary and fun all at the same time. As for the "mystery" woman, Sean, of course, did not say who it was but he did say that America will be surprised about who it is -- he sure was!
Sean said that the producers did an excellent job in selecting his 26 women. The producers got to know Sean really well from "The Bachelorette" so they knew exactly what girls to put on the show. Sean said they are all wonderful, smart and accomplished.
Sean had no idea that he would get so emotionally attached to so many of the girls. Sean said all of the women have very unique qualities and personalities. And, of course, there will be drama (I LOVE it, bring it ladies). As Sean put it, there are 26 women in one house!!! And his biggest pet peeve this season -- the women who got more caught up in the drama than the real reason as to why they were there in the first place (I wonder if there will be any "Courtneys" this season. I sure hope so.
Sean's ideal woman is his best friend -- someone who he can hang out with every day. Someone who he just enjoys being with and someone that is smart, funny, has a good heart and is genuine, loving and caring.
He said he would never propose if he wasn't ready. And he said there was absolutely no pressure for him to do so.
Sean has never paid attention to the track record of past Bachelor/Bachelorettes relationships. In fact, when some of the alum offered to give him advice, Sean didn't take it. He wanted to experience all of this HIMSELF; he wanted to draw his own conclusions.
Sean said we will see a less serious side of him (including a prank or two). And he said he is not good at following rules. He even goes on to say he breaks a few by following his heart.
He couldn't say whether or not he is engaged but he did say he hopes that all of the women will be understanding of his position as "The Bachelor." And if he is engaged, he hopes that his fiance understands that he had to go through all of this (including having feelings for other girls and kissing a few others as well) just to get to her.
We get to be with Sean every step of the way on his way to finding love, so make sure to be there from the beginning on Monday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. on KITV. Follow me at @laurenjwang on Twitter and tag your tweets with #BachelorHI!

The new and improved New Balance 1260 v2 delivers maximum support and a premium ride, now in a lighter and more streamlined package.
In the 1260 v2, New Balance has given its premium maximum support shoe an aesthetic makeover, trimming down on the excess, while maintaining the shoe's personality and runability.
Running in the v2 revealed a ride very similar to its precursor. Soft cushioning in the heel and forefoot makes for a plush and protective ride, and the soft plastic medial post provides ample pronation support. The increased forefoot cushioning and lowered heel was only slightly noticeable; testers had a very hard time distinguishing between the two shoes while wearing them simultaneously.
Some testers felt a slight decrease in volume within the v2 from its predecessor, especially through the toebox and the midfoot, for a snugger, closer to the foot feel. A runner who enjoyed the accommodating fit of the original 1260 may want to consider widths when moving to the v2.
Though the v2's numbers may be more attractive, we didn't notice a big difference on our feet; the v2 runs very much in the same way as the original 1260. As with the original, runners looking for a stable yet smooth ride from heel strike to toe-off are sure to be pleased with the 1260 v2.
Anyone who liked the original will continue to enjoy the v2. My favorite part of this shoe has to be the upper - super plush with a nice 'hug the foot' feel.
The 1260 v2 definitely offers its fair share of support. I could probably go without my orthotics in this shoe.
I felt less wiggle room in the toebox in the v2 compared to the first 1260. I attribute this partly to the less pliable upper mesh on the v2, and partly to the change in last design.

and so-called mdern tech death bands aren't death metal at all, no matter if they use growls or not. The music isn't dm at its base hence NOT dm in any whatever way

Even though Marcel is completely right and this album has little (if anything) to do with death metal, it's still a great record. Nothing less to be expected from such a great musician as Ron Jarzombek.
Written by psykometal on 03.09.2013 at 05:39
Who in their right mind would ever call this Death metal? It has elements of Death metal, but not enough to call it a "death metal album".
It is a really great album though.
Written by !J.O.O.E.! on 03.09.2013 at 18:26
Who in their right mind would ever call instrumental tech-death "death metal?" No one, and that's very wrong in my opinion and precisely why this is laden with enough elements of what is called death metal in the modern age Wanky tech-death has virtually nothing to do with death metal of old with the exception of the vocals, yet it is called tech death. Try to think of it from that perspective. If I were to dub over this record with generic death vocals, do you really think people would still call it simply "progressive metal" or the norm of "tech / progressive death?" I'd beg the latter, you and NocturnalStalker included. Hell, even wikipedia calls them tech-death now it seems.

I'll have to revisit the album. I recall the guitar and bass tuning (as well as production) being very thick and chunky, similar to death metal, but recall very little actual death metal elements in the music. Mostly I recall my fellow Texan just being very technical, and progressive as usual. My statement had nothing to do with the lack of vocals, I'm more than aware that vocals are only one aspect of music.

The thrill of discovery
July 10, 2013 —
Shane Flory, a member of the Monroe County 4H club, "Insects Are Us," was in his glory after capturing a common green darner dragonfly during the first Upper Delaware BioBlitz in Starlight, PA. "They're one of the hardest to catch," Shane reported. A small-eyed sphinx moth and white admiral butterfly were two more of the insects also identified. The event, held on June 28 and 29, brought together 50 world-class scientists to collect, identify and catalog over 1,000 separate species of plants, animals and insects. Data collected will be added to the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory database, the NPS survey of Flora in the Delaware River Corridor, the 1991 Natural Areas Inventory of Wayne County by The Nature Conservancy and other sources.

Intel Corp. officially confirmed the rumours that the company's Light Peak interconnect technology in its initial flavour will not use optical cables, but will rely on common cables with copper wires inside. Such solution greatly lowers cost of LightPeak products, but naturally reduces performance substantially.
"The copper came out very good, surprisingly better than what we thought. Optical is always a new technology which is more expensive," said David Perlmutter, executive vice president and general manager of Intel's architecture group, in an interview with IDG News Service.
The first version of Ligh tPeak was supposed to have 10Gb/s bandwidth over distances up to 100 meters, two times higher than the maximum bandwidth of USB 3.0 (which maximum distance is 1.5 - 2 meters). With fiber optics cable it should be possible to increase the bandwidth of LightPeak to up to 100Gb/s eventually, according to earlier claims. But with copper wires, the speed and range of data transmission may not be as great, according to the executive. Earlier rumours claims that it should be possible to transfer data at up to 10Gb/s over copper wires.
Fiber optics are very expensive at present and it is natural that hardware makers would prefer to avoid them. At the same time, new interconnection naturally attracts attention of consumers and catalyzes them to upgrade their hardware, for example, digital cameras or external storage devices. Perhaps, in order to kick off the adoption of LightPeak by end-users, manufacturers need to make the technology as affordable as possible, which is why they decided to use copper cables instead of fiber optics.
Perlmutter declined to say on when devices using Light Peak would reach store shelves, adding that shipment depended on device makers. But earlier rumours pointed to the plan to start shipments of Light Peak-equipped devices in 2011. Even though it is possible that LightPeak will hit commercial market in 2011, it is unlikely that it will get popular. Very few devices, apart from external graphics cards or solid-state drives may actually need speeds like 10Gb/s. At the same time, the cost of USB 3.0-enabled devices has been decreasing and end-users may prefer to stick with the standard that offers 5Gb/s maximum speed at a very low cost.

- Abstract
- We present here the experimental and theoretical studies of a single femtosecond laser pulse interaction inside a bulk of transparent media (sapphire, glass, polymer). This interaction leads to the drastic transformations in a solid resulting in a void formation inside a dielectric. The laser pulse energy is absorbed within a volume of approximately 0.15 μm3 creating a pressure and temperature comparable to that in the core of a strong multi-kilo-tons explosion. The material within this volume is rapidly atomized, ionized, and converted into a tiny super-hot dense cloud of expanding plasma that generates strong shock and rarefaction waves which result in the formation of a void, whose diameter is ∼200 nm (for a 100 nJ pulse in sapphire). The way this structure forms can be understood from high-temperature plasma hydrodynamics. We demonstrate that unique states of matter characterized by temperatures ∼105 K, heating rates up to the 1018 K∕s, and pressures more than 100 times the strength of any material were created using a standard table-top laser in well-controlled laboratory conditions. We discuss the properties of the laser-affected solid and possible routes of laser-affected material transformation to the final state long after the pulse end. These studies will find application for the design of new materials and three-dimensional optical memory devices, and for formation of photonic band-gap crystals.

Day 2 - Nexus redesignposted by Dark0ne Site NewsSo here we are, almost at the end of day 2 since the Nexus site redesign launch. I've been spending most of my time on bug fixes and tweaks based on the feedback you've all been giving me. Thank you for, in the most part, remaining calm and constructive during this period.
I'm just going to go through a few of the major and minor things that keep coming up in the feedback and run you through of the changes already made, and a few upcoming changes.
First of all my apologies to the IE8 users who experienced issues with the sites, especially with comments missing. I've been using a piece of software called "IETester" to test the functionality on IE8 as you cannot have IE8 and IE9 installed on your system at the same time. The sites worked fine in IETester during the testing stage but I was able to troubleshoot the issue on an old laptop and things should now be better for you. Once again a good reason to actually pay attention to the site news and help during open beta test stages rather than just ignore it.
Next the fixed width isn't going to change no matter what is said. However, a few people have brought up some nice ideas in the mod authors forums for some pages to be rearranged so they can use the full width of the central content area by pushing the content on the right in to the centre. It's something I'm going to explore tomorrow.
There seem to be sporadic reports of people not being able to download files because the modal pop-up box isn't showing for them. I don't know if this is IE8 specific but I cannot reproduce this. However, I'm hoping to update the download links slightly so you can middle-click (to open a new tab) a link and it'll just open a completely new page. I know some people like to "queue up" their downloads like this and the current system is preventing them from doing it. So hopefully a "kill two birds with one stone" tweak, that one.
Some of you will have noticed the file tracking centre has been changed. This is a temporary stop-gap until we move over to Axel's code that's going to be much better than this, and similar to before, but better. It was a "time allows" thing...I didn't have the time to port it over and knowing Axel would be updating it anyway made my decision easier. Just hang in there on that one.
There are a few features missing that were in the original site but aren't currently in this new design; seeing who has endorsed your files/images and premium notifications spring to mind. These will be coming back in the coming days or weeks. Negative endorsements are gone, as per the blogs and discussions that were had with mod authors up to the launch.
I've just put up the first "skins" for the space either side of the content area. These are skins made by me and spruce things up a little. At least now you can't complain you don't know what games each Nexus site supports. The plan here is to allow members to upload their skins for approval in to a "skin pool". You'll then be able to choose from a long list of skins for the site you're using through your preferences, or choose to have no skin at all. Similarly mod authors will be able to make their own skins for their mod pages or choose a skin from the pool that others will see for their mod pages.
A few minor tweaks and fixes have been added; thumbnail images will no longer stretch to fit a specific size in most areas of the site now, the "File temporarily available" issue has been fixed on newly uploaded files, comment threads will now be properly created when adding new files and small downloads will now work through the modal pop-up like the large file downloads rather than redirect you to a totally different page.
As mentioned in my last announcement this is just the beginning of many, many improvements to come. The foundation. Some people are acting like I've turned the light off and walked away for some reason. If you keep the constructive feedback coming I'll continue to improve things where I can. You'll get some things, you won't get others, but if you're going to throw all your toys out the pram because you're not getting it all your own way pleeeeease can you do it away from me? Thaaaaanks!
Finally a quick note on your bug reports: I'm sorry if you're experiencing bugs but for the love of all that is holy will you please tell me what browser you are using when you report a bug? I can't help you without this very simple piece of information!
I'll continue to update the news with more information as we go along.

Vietnam has given U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta the personal letters of a soldier who was killed in the Vietnam war in 1969. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown reports.
The letter from the frontlines could have been written yesterday.
"Thank you for your sweet card. It made my miserable day a much better one but I don't think I will ever forget the bloody fight we are having," reads a handwritten note to Betty from Steve Flaherty of Columbia, S.C. "RPG rockets and machine guns really tore my rucksack."
But this and other newly discovered letters written to "Betty," "Mother" and "Mrs. Wyatt" weren't sent from Afghanistan, or any other place where American servicemen are deployed now. They were penned more than 40 years ago before the author, who was with the 101st Airborne, was killed in the northern section of South Vietnam.
The documents were given to the U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta during a landmark meeting in Vietnam on Monday. Panetta and Vietnam Defense Minister Phung Quang Thanh exchanged long-held artifacts collected during the war -- including a small maroon diary belonging to a Vietnamese soldier.
Vietnam opens new sites for US MIA hunt
A letter to Flaherty's mother gives an unvarnished version of life on the battlefield.
"Our platoon started off with 35 men but winded up with 19 men when it was over. We lost platoon leader and whole squad." He added, "The NVA soldiers fought until they died and one even booby trapped himself and when we approached him, he blew himself up and took two of our men with him."
Vietnam's 'napalm girl' comes to terms with iconic photo
The obit of Steve Flaherty of Columbia, S.C. published in the State Newspaper on March 30, 1969.
Another letter to his mom reads: "We couldn't retrieve the bodies of our men or ruck sacks and when we brought air strikes, jets dropped napalm and explosives that destroyed everything that was there."
The letter adds: "If Dad calls, tell him I got too close to being dead but I'm O.K. I was real lucky. I'll write again soon."
Slain soldier's Vietnam letters too later for his parents, but other relatives will cherish
A third letter to Mrs. Wyatt defends the war while spelling out the toll it was taking on the people fighting: "This is a dirty and cruel war but I'm sure people will understand the purpose of this war even though many of us might not agree."
NBC's Chris Jansing reports on retired Col. Jack Jacobs, who served our country in the Vietnam War, suffering countless injuries, and Jacobs' recent return to Vietnam for the first time since the war.
According to U.S. defense officials, Vietnamese forces took Flaherty's letters after his death in March, 1969, and used them in broadcasts during the war.
Vietnamese Col. Nguyen Phu Dat kept the letters, but it was not until last August, when he mentioned them in an online publication, that they started to come to light.
Panetta visits Vietnam, exchanges soldiers effects
Early this year, Robert Destatte, a retired Defense Department employee who had worked for the POW/MIA office, noticed the online publication, and the Pentagon began to work to get the letters back to Flaherty's family.
The exchange of documents underscores how much the relationship between Vietnam and the United States has changed in 17 years since the normalization of diplomatic relations, George Little, acting assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, told military newspaper Stars and Stripes.
"It is a reflection of the priority the United States places on people-to-people ties with Vietnam," the newspaper quoted Little as saying.
Reuters contributed to this report.

Special thanks to Theo Roll.
Very special thanks to Sam Adams, for getting us where we wanted to go.
And yes, to answer your question in advance: I had an itch.

"X-T-R-I-… Pirate!" LOL x2..
Ahh, good stuff. I don't know if Steinbrenner would go for your proposal about lap dances @ Yankee Stadium.. but I'm pretty sure it's only because he likes to keep all the strippers for himself.
MLBlogs needs more of RSBS TV [specifically more of it w/ the beer drinking Jeff & Allen, hehe..] =)
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
"Pirate" haha I laughed every time.
Lap dances at Yankee Stadium? Maybe that would make the obscene ticket prices worth it.
Good one guys.
I thought I was the only person who felt it was unnecessary to play "God Bless America." Thank you for validating my feelings, Allen. Another hilarious entry by the RSBS guys. You never disappoint. And thanks for answering my question in advance, Jeff. 🙂
Sorry – have to disagree with you on "God Bless America" – but you knew I would!
V — If Steinbrenner can still get "enjoyment" out of women, then more power to him. LOL.
Melissa — I think you're on to somethin'. Let's make it happen. PIRATE!
Jen — No problem. I can read minds (a little bit and I'm right on that .05% of the time).
Julia — You're disagreeing with Al. Not me. I like it. And I'm always right, so there ya go.
I think teams are milking (and will continue to milk into the 2009 offseason) the effects of the economy on baseball. I couldn't be happier about it. I think that management has needed a way to cut back on salaries and commitments to players for a while now, and the union is so strong its not something they can realistically fight for and win.
Here is some anti-nationalism coming from a person that doesn't even share the same nation as you guys.
I secretly prefer American beer over Canadian, but don't tell anyone in Canada. Love Sam Adams.
I'm hoping a good start for the Jays can put some buts in the seats. We are a club that stands to get hit pretty hard from all this apparently. The Canadian dollar is also declining, that hurts the club.
We here in Massachusetts applaud your decision to drink Sam Adams, brewed right here in Boston.
Steve T.
Sam Adams is where it's at gentlemen. I prefer Blackberry Witbier over White Ale though. I was sucked into the 2009 MLB $50 ticket season by the inaugural year of Citi Field. Buying as much tickets as I did this season was totally appropriate, despite the amount of money I have lost. About how many games do you two get out to in a season?
– Donnie
Jason — Interesting point. I don't know if they're "milking" it, but the smart teams are using it to their advantage. They have to really.
Homer — I don't blame you, although, Labatt Blue ain't too bad.
Steve — Just showing our patriotism (and good taste).
Donnie — Between Sox Park and Wrigley and my trips down to Busch and wherever else I go during the season, I get to about 20 games a year. I sit in the cheap seats though usually, unless I'm at a park where no one goes to the games (like Dolphin Stadium) and I can get good seats at a decent price.
That's one thing we're always good for, Jenn. Been a tough week for Phillies fans' hearts so far. We got your back.
Hard-hitting, incisive dialogue as always, you guys. Here's my question…Do you always sit in the same seats because you want to show the camera your "good sides?"
We didn't even know there was a camera there, Jane. That's just how we roll. Besides, Allen doesn't have a good side.
I love that you have a section in here called 'Extraneous blogs'. Coincidence? Probably, right?🙂 Keep up the hot work guys. How often do youpost your videos on here?Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
I'm tired of always blaming the economy for what a team does or does not does not do on a field. To go to games, I had to start working at them for a good majority. However, I hope the Indians will not say their poor start has to do with economy. They spent more this year than in the recent past. I want sound, focused fundamentals to be executed, one game at a time for a total of 162 plus 11 playoff games. This is the goal of all 30 teams, I would hope.

Dordt College News
Dordt-Midland Basketball Saturday
January 10, 2013
GAMETIME… Dordt College will host Midland in GPAC basketball Saturday, January 12. The women's contest starts at 2:00 and the men will get underway at 4:00.
