Rated 5 out of 5 by Roze great purchase It's nice to know that you have the travel medic with you when you travel. I do alot of walking and am active when traveling so in case I get blisters etc. this covers it and its small. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scotsman3 Worth having... The Travel Medic has all the right products anyone would need in a small, compact emergency kit. Love the size, soft pack, and the fact it is in a 100% reuseable and recycled case is a smart choice. July 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrenchGigi Peace of Mind I feel more comfortable traveling knowing that this small space-saving kit is with me. It's quick and easy to throw this into a suitcase, tote, or backpack and be prepared. October 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Notsofrequenttraveler Slightly disappointed I got this prior to going on vacation and failed to look inside prior to packing it. When my husband needed a band aide, I thought, no problem, I've got one in the kit. None to be found, only the butterfly closures and knuckle bandage. If I had known they were missing, I would have stuck some in & no problem...oh well, I'll have them the next time. August 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Catmal Disappointing medical kit We travel a lot and disappointed that I cannot fit extra bandaids or anything else. Would be better off with an envelope. September 17, 2015

The members of BETTER OFF are no stranger to the Nashville alternative rock scene, having played in various other projects in the area in recent years, but this new incarnation undoubtedly sees this group of musicians at their peak
or on their way to it. The album theyve created in (I Think) Im Leaving feels remarkably mature and developed for a debut release, sure to excite fans of a wide range of tastes. Comparisons to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, and Knapsack seem fitting, yet BETTER OFF provide enough of their own take on the sound to create their own brand of emotional rock. These are stirring, well-crafted songs that get reveal themselves more and more on each subsequent listen.
For fans of: Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Knapsack

We were at a picnic today with another ~25 families. For the first time while out amongst other people, DS wanted to nurse. (I think the kids are normally too distracted by eveyone around them to nurse.) We were doing fine until DD decided she wanted to nurse, too. If I hadn't been sitting under the shelter at a picnic table this wouldn't have been an issue. However, it's a wee bit awkward to arrange two 27 month olds while facing a table, especially with one child already latched on. Anyway, while doing this, DS must have remembered he had a piece of a hotdog in his hand and went to take a bite. AaaaaAAAAACK! I got chomped! He'd forgotten to unlatch first.
Took a few moments to collect myself. I do not "hide" when I NIP, but I also don't advertise that I am nursing. The shriek (mine) did not help, but we got through it. Am guessing it was the first time that most had seen someone nursing a toddler -- err, two of them at once, and with the abrupt interuption, they may have seen a little more than they'd bargained for.

Hundreds of students to participate in national day of volunteering
Posted on October 24, 2013
More than 350 volunteers from Grand Valley are expected to participate in the nation's largest day of community service on October 26.
Sponsored by the Community Service Learning Center, Make a Difference Day begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Grand River Room of the Kirkhof Center on the Allendale Campus.
Before volunteers go to their service projects, Jenny Jordan, development coordinator for Kid's Food Basket and a Grand Valley alumna, will provide a kick-off speech. Participants will then be bused to various sites throughout the greater Grand Rapids area to work on different community service projects until 3 p.m.
Last year, more than 300 Grand Valley volunteers served various area agencies for the day. Volunteers will have the opportunity to work with one of many different causes, from mentoring youth, to working with senior citizens to combatting hunger issues.
The national day of volunteering, promoted by USA WEEKEND Magazine and Points of Light, has taken place for more than 20 years.
For more information, contact the Office of Student Life at Grand Valley at (616) 331-2345.

I wish the reporter was more specific as to what solutions were presented and where the city is going... with regard to development, commercializing and Milwaukee's future identity, as shaped by city planners.
I wish I could have been present to hear the panels comments and suggestions.
I find that 'Milwaukee,' its mayors, and it's city planners fail to see the assets the city has with regard to it's rivers, lakefront, archetecture ... and the expansion of developing a futuristic, cosmopolitan city with European roots.
For instance, along I-94, through the Marquette Interchange, past the downtown north... there is a series of Church steeples that are reflective of the 'city neighborhoods, and it's roots ... with the churches serving as a 'hub' for each separate one. If illuminated with 'low wattage' or solar powered lights, you would have a "Steeple Corridor' visible at night off the entire Milwaukee freeway system.
Take a look at these architectural 'hidden' masterpieces as you drive the Milwaukee Freeway system in daylight. MIlwaukee ignores them instead of highlighting them, and it is a shame. It is a natural, available piece of Milwaukee History.
The Potawatomi Nation has got it right, in that they are scheduled to build a downtown hotel on their property in the Menomonee Valley. That 'Valley' is a wasted 'gem' with it's river, easy access to Marquette University, the Third Ward, and Miller Park.
The inner city is an embarrassment. It has stagnated since the late 1950-early 1960's. Yet the property north and west of the Milwaukee river, above River West is an untapped 'gold mine', which if properly cultivated and built, would provide Skyscraper views of the Downtown area. The ENTIRE Inner City needs an overhaul.

EPA encourages state NPDES stormwater programs to adapt this Guide to their state programs. It is being provided in Word so that programs can incorporate state-specific program components into the Guide, and have a single manual for inspectors and others to use. EPA welcomes feed-back on the Guide based on experiences of state and regional evaluations. As state and EPA NPDES programs conduct more MS4 program evaluations we will undoubtedly learn a number of lessons about program evaluations. We are committed to making timely updates to the guide as the MS4 program evolves (EPA-833-R-07-003).

"Improving West Coast access is vital to our businesses and will encourage more economic development. We look forward to continuing to work with American Airlines to expand its presence at Pittsburgh International Airport." "The Airport Authority is pleased to be a part of American's expanded service to and from Los Angeles," said Allegheny County Airport Authority Chairman David Minnotte. "This route will meet travelers' needs to fly nonstop to Los Angeles, and from there, to connect conveniently to many destinations on the West Coast and internationally." "American is excited to begin daily nonstop service between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles," said Dale Morris, American's Regional Vice President – Government Affairs "With this new service, American now flies between Pittsburgh and all five of our hubs – Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. The new LAX flight gives customers in the Pittsburgh area convenient access to Southern California and allows them to connect through this key international gateway to additional destinations throughout the American Airlines and oneworld® global network." American's daily nonstop flight departs Pittsburgh at 4:30 p.m. and arrives in Los Angeles at 6:50 p.m. The return flight departs Los Angeles at 8:10 a.m. and arrives in Pittsburgh at 3:45 p.m. The flight will be operated by a Boeing 737 with 16 First Class seats and 134 Main Cabin seats.

Way back in 1943, it was possible to find any number of cottages, inns and resorts fronting Lake Wallenpaupack in Hawley, PA. "Now," says Eric Ehrhardt, "there are only two left." His resort, Ehrhardt's Waterfront Resort, is one. Ehrhardt's is currently run by Eric and his brother, Craig. The resort has been in the Ehrhardt family for some 60 years, and Eric and his brothers were literally raised in the business.
"We all grew up right here," says Eric. "We got to know the guests as friends that came up on different weeks."
In 1943, George and Marjorie Ehrhardt purchased The Silver Birches Inn on Lake Wallenpaupack from Marjorie's sister and brother-in-law, George and Rachel Singer. Up until that time, the property consisted of a 1904 farmhouse that had been built by George's father. Its name came from the small woodland of white birches that surrounded the main building. That first year, the inn hosted 18 guests over the summer season, charging $15 a week and serving three square meals a day.
The couple slowly bought up parcels of land around the inn, some as scant as an eighth of an acre. (Today, the resort has 600 acres of lakefront property.) Their son, Jerry, married and began taking a hand in managing the business.
By 1966, the resort had grown into 21 rooms and cottages and 13 baths, as well as air conditioning. That year, a motel was added. Even though it had grown, the emphasis of Silver Birches remained on warm and welcoming hospitality. Visitors who came as newlyweds returned year after year, eventually bringing their own children and grandchildren.
This is still the case, says Eric. Guests enjoy the attentive hospitality of the staff, and they also come to greet other guests—old friends who come during the same weeks year after year. "The guests get to know each other. Vacations become like a reunion among friends," says Eric. It is not uncommon for families to visit the resort over three and four generations, and "two years ago, we had our first fifth-generation family, who came with a little baby."
In 1982, Ehrhardt's Waterfront Restaurant was expanded and the pool was added. Today, the resort is year round, with many weekly and seasonal specials as well as access to the rich array of regional cultural and outdoor activities. A continental breakfast is included in the stay, and the restaurant, which is open to the public and has banquet facilities, offers discounts to guests.
Today, the fourth generation of Ehrhardts is learning the business from the bottom up, waiting for their chance to continue the resort's traditions of friendliness, service and continuity. And, the facility continues to grow and improve.
"We just added a honeymoon suite," says Eric. "With a Jacuzzi, a fireplace, a king-sized bed and a walk-in glass shower, we think it will be a hit."

You all know we love any sort of awards do. Not only do we get to celebrate some of the finest talent around (yes, we're referring to actual skills here) but it's a fabulous opportunity to ogle, drool and rage with envy over the super stylings hitting the red carpet.
It's no surprise that we were pretty excited when the nominations for the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced yesterday. Some of our most favourite tv shows ever have been recognised for their sheer awesomeness along with their extremely talented stars. Armando Iannucci's Veep, which has had us in fits for the past three weeks is nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series alongside Girls, created by and starring Lena Dunham who is also up for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. It's not hit our screens in the UK just yet but don't worry, it's coming very soon and we know you are going to LOVE IT.
Our favourite fringed girl du jour Zooey Deschanel is also up for Lead Actress for playing Jess in New Girl and it should come as no surprise that Mad Men's Elizabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks also scooped up nominations.
And our very own Downton Abbey is whipping up a storm with Michelle Dockery aka Lady Mary, Joanne Froggatt, the lovely Anna and the series as a whole being recognised in the Drama category. Go Granthams!
The awards take place on 23rd September (and frankly, we just can't wait that long to see what everyone will be wearing. So, we've put together a gallery full to the brim of fashion frothiness as we take a look at what the nominees have worn recently on the red carpet.
And if that wasn't enough, here are some of our favourite moments from the shows so far – you know, because we're nice like that!

TV Dinner: Stuffed Pepper Soup
If you have trouble getting your children to eat well, read on.
Chef Chris Manning has a recipe for stuffed pepper soup that will appeal to even the youngest taste.
The chef cooked a pot of the soup for Asa Stackel and Beth Hall Friday morning - here's the recipe:
- ground beef, two pounds (or substituite one pound with Italian sausage)
- one can 28 oz. tomato sauce
- two cups cooked, long grain white rice
- two cups chopped green peppers (Chris uses one green, one red, one banana, one chopped jalapeno - no seeds)
- two beef cubes
- one quarter cup brown sugar
- salt and pepper
In a large dutch oven, brown the beef and then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover and let simmer 30 minutes.
For an extra kick, add two half hots, but if you do, leave out the banana and jalapeno.

'Masters Of Sex' Stars Lizzy Caplan And Michael Sheen Unfazed By Show's Nudity And Sex Scenes
Showtime's new series Masters Of Sex, which premieres on Sunday, September 29, focuses on the real life studies of sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson, who in the 1950s began to revolutionize the way people view the things that go on between couples in the bedroom.
The show, based on the book of the same name by biographer Thomas Maier, stars Michael Sheen as Masters and Lizzy Caplan as Johnson, both of whom had to get comfortable with a lot of nudity and simulated sex acts.
"We've seen so many people do bizarre things in front of you, you get used to it," Sheen said at this year's Television Critics Association fall previews in July. "There's a naked woman in front of you masturbating ... and you almost don't notice."
Caplan feels almost the same about it.
"You know, one would think that it would be very strange to watch strangers take their clothes off and pretend to have sex in front of you, but as it turns out, it's something that's very easy to get used to," the actress told David Letterman on Wednesday night.
So far, the show is getting a lot of positive reviews.
Here's what some of the critics have been saying:
"Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan are captivating. She has the more immediately fetching part as a liberated-before-her-time single mother, but he grows fascinating as a brilliant researcher into passion who suffers from personal coldness," - James Poniewozik, TIME
The first two episodes of Showtime's "Masters of Sex" are good, but they don't begin to suggest how great the series becomes, not only as a kind of co-biography of sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson, but as a potently layered consideration of human sexuality," - David Weigand, SFGate
"Like sex, 'Masters of Sex' gets better as it goes on... at times, 'Masters of Sex' feels like a soap opera in 'Mad Men' clothing. Yet the series is not without a sense of humor, especially about the ignorance of men who think they know everything about women and never thought to ask," - Alessandra Stanley, New York Times
"The lead actors are excellent. The writing has a confident pace and expert touch when it comes to balancing its more emotional moments with a refined wit. - Hank Stuever, The Washington Post
"It makes the most of its pay-TV platform by showing plenty of skin, but the sex scenes service a bigger story made all the more compelling by a couple of strong leads in Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan," - Lori Rackl, Chicago Sun-Times
"A few plotlines look rocky, and a few lines of dialogue stumble, but based on the first six episodes, we're being introduced to a show that can enlighten, entertain and contend for Emmys, all in the same breath," - Robert Bianco, USA Today
"Masters Of Sex" premieres Sunday, September 29 at 10pm on Showtime.

Ant-decapitating Fly Found in Glendale!
I just found out we have ant-decapitating flies here in Los Angeles! Dr. Brian Brown, the Museum's Curator of Entomology and one of the world's foremost experts on flies, made a chance discovery by looking right under the nose of an unsuspecting USC student.
It all started last Friday, while we were enjoying a nice stroll through the Nature Gardens. First, we checked out the Malaise trap that Brian and his staff set up as part of the BioSCAN project, which aims to survey the insect biodiversity here in Los Angeles. Then, we headed into the Nature Lab to see insects from this trap, and the 25 others that have been placed all over Los Angeles, being sorted.
As we got close to the demo table, Brian was suddenly transfixed. He'd seen...

Salary cap is overrated. Maybe in Charlotte or Atlanta it would be a huge issue but in NY, the franchise that generates more money than any team in the league, it's not as big of a problem as some would lead you to believe. All going over the cap means is that a team will have to pay very high luxury tax. The Dolans are made of money so it doesn't matter. I hear they still own slaves. (joke) The Knicks are one big game to them. Could the franchise be ran better, absolutely, but what's 80 or 90 million when you're a billionaire and you make that money back with interest? It's not like they are losing money.
Why we really should get under the cap or at least acquire more marketable/tradable players is for D. Wade or Labron James. Knicks aint getting any where near under the cap for another two years. Trading Randolph would definitely be a step in the right financial direction.
Side note: Linas Kleiza is a quiet beast. I'd trade David Lee for him!

The System
The 3 Levels of Healthcare
Traditionally in the Orient, there were three levels of healthcare.
The first level is palliative medical care. It emphasizes the use of various medical approaches to treat ailments after they have occurred. Herbs used for this approach are called inferior herbs.
The next level is prevention of specific disorders. The herbs used for this approach are called general herbs.
The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs in order to achieve radiant health is called Tonic Herbalism.
Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.
Balancing and Replenishing the 3 Treasures
Life is made up of 3 primary energies: Jing, Qi and Shen.
A simple analogy by which one can understand the Three Treasures Paradigm is to think of life being like a candle. Jing is the candle. It is our reserve of life force and it determines how long we live and the power of our life. Qi is the flame. It is the energy of life, acquired through breathing and eating and manifested as our day-to-day vitality and our innate ability to defend ourselves and ward off pathogens. Shen is the light given off by the candle. It is our spirit, our state of psychological well being, our wisdom, and our spiritual experience and radiance.
All disease and suffering arise out of the imbalances of the 3 Treasures, Jing, Qi and Shen.
Tonic herbalism uses tonic herbs to help replenish and re-balance the Three Treasures. By regulating and nourishing our Three Treasures, we will have a macro-control over our health without micro-managing the complex bodily functions. We cannot possibly micro-manage them, so we should not. We can nurture our body, tonify our regulatory mechanisms, and develop true adaptability so that our body can manage itself.
Protect yourself
The world is a dangerous place, and may be becoming more dangerous. A word to the wise: protect yourself. Tonic herbalism uses tonic herbs to help regulate and boost our protective functions. These functions include those of the psyche and the immune system. The immune system can be honed in such a way as to be highly reliable, even in the face of severe challenge. Many Qi tonics have profound immune enhancing qualities in humans. Tonic herbs are well known to help in the development of a strong, clear mind and sharp intuition.
The Herbs
What Are the Tonic Herbs?
The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living, and thus are associated with the ideals of long life, slow aging, glowing health, happiness, wisdom, physical vitality, adaptability, sexual vigor and response, mental acuity and clear intuition, love and compassion, and harmonious relations with nature and with one's fellow human beings. The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense. Tonic herbs help to regulate our myriad functions so that we can re-establish and maintain our balance, our adaptability, our vigor and our youthfulness. By achieving these goals, one can be said to have attained true "radiant health.
Why Consume Tonic Herbs?
Tonic herbs are not medicinal. They nurture life, nurture the human spirit, slow down the aging process, and they protect us on every level - physically, immunologically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. What distinguishes Chinese tonic herbalism from other systems has been the attitude the Chinese and other Asian societies have taken toward health. Putting the emphasis on promoting health, they have created a body of knowledge concerning the health-promoting tonic herbs that no other society or system has matched. Other systems have generally emphasized the remedial over the preventive.
Tonic Herbs Are Transformative
Almost every person who uses the Chinese tonic herbs for any extended period of time will experience benefits. In some cases the benefits may be almost instantaneous and profound, while for others the influence may be subtle at first, with cumulative effects developing over time.
Indeed, one of the profound benefits of the Chinese tonic herbs abides in their ability to change "vicious cycles" into "benevolent cycles." The tonics help reverse the process of one problem leading to more problems. Something good happens when you start taking these herbs. You start to feel balanced and strong inside. You start having abundant energy when you need it and yet you feel relaxed and at peace. Incredibly, you become more and more adaptive so that you can do a lot of things that you couldn't do before. You find yourself taking on challenges you couldn't have handled before, doing things that you used to avoid or that you thought you were incapable of doing.
Where Do Tonic Herbs Come From?
Tonic herbs come from China. They also come from North and South America, Europe, Indonesia, Tibet, Bhutan, Africa, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and almost every region of the world. Tonic herbs are by their very nature safe and may be used for a lifetime to reinforce our health.

The Shot (No One) Heard Around the World
The next time you begin to entertain the idea that steroids may not make a better baseball player, please remember the curious case of Jason Giambi:
Yeah. That is the same guy. Trust me.
And if you analyze his stats, you will notice a surge in the power department during the years Mr. Giambi was admittedly jivin' on the juice. Sure, there was some inherent talent there; that's the only way it works. Put me on some 'roids and you will just end up with a big, nerdy ogre-man who still can't hit a slider.
But Jason Giambi? Dear readers, the man has declined.
Despite a serviceable 2008 where a mysteriously magic mustache allowed him to overcome his initial 'roid-wreck, the 2009 feel-good reunion with the Oakland A's brought nothing but disappointment — so much so that Billy Beane couldn't find any use for him at all.
"Uh. Yeah. Uh. If you love something let it go. If it comes back to you it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was. Hold me down baby."
–DMX, Let it Fly
Well, even with all his faults (that vomit inducing .193 batting average in particular) I suppose baseball must love Jason Giambi because the Colorado Rockies just signed him to a minor league deal.
I watched MLB related news and programming all night long and no one even mentioned this.
Because no one cares.
And if no one cares that the Rockies signed Jason Giambi, then absolutely no one will care that the Rockies also signed Russ Ortiz.
Russ who?
Sure, the Rockies may be in the thick of the playoff hunt, but neither one of these acquisitions will factor into any type of potential success. They are both large and looming disappointments — let-downs determined to strike out with the bases loaded, to give up a grand slam, to muff into oblivion.
If I were Giambi, if I were Ortiz, I'd rather spend my time signing some hot chick's breasts. Duh. At least by doing that you don't risk humiliating yourself over and over again. (Again, trust me)
Hate me 'cuz I hate on the dynamically duddy duo of Giambi/Ortiz, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
20 Comments
At least Ortiz is hitting. But why the Rockies? They know they need good players to chase down the Dodgers – right? It is so confusing…..
I am very disturbed by the Rockies' signings of Giambi and Ortiz. As an Astros fan I have witnessed firsthand Russ' failings, and I hate anybody who makes a public scene about being demoted to the bullpen. The Rox are known for being a team with character and class. I'm afraid a juicer and an ex-ace are not the correct way to keep up that reputation. Besides, if it ain't broke…
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
Julia — Ortiz is hitting now. How long will he run on these fumes though? These are low upside, maybe/if pieces at best.
Dillon — Thanks, man. I try.
Kylie — I hear ya. And it's been a loooooooong time since Russ was an Ace.
Jeff – I cant believe you sat up all night watching for this news…. we do what we must for a story…. I do agree with everything almost.. just the one little issue with…"signing some hot chick's breasts. Duh. At least by doing that you don't risk humiliating yourself over and over again"… I think even they can humiliate themselves doing that and get slapped a few times too….me I could do that all day and not get bored…:-)
Just signing these guys is a big Homer DOH!!
Outside the Phillies looking In
Peter — If they're destined to fail in the signing breast department too, then can I get a chance? I won't blow it. I promise.
Silly Jeff. Only rock stars and major-league ball players get to sign women's breasts. Which is probably why these guys can't let it go just yet.
Erin — You know too much. You've endangered the mission. You shouldn't have come.
Jeff – I don't think there is going to be a problem, most of the chicks that get their breasts signed just join a signing line, they dont know who it is half the time, or they're so wasted they don't care… I think if you set up a fake signing line with a fake poster, they wouldn't know, they'd let you sign their breast just in case you were someone…. maybe thats a task for RSBS to check out and see if it works…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter, I am so on that. So on it.
Thanks for the fill-in, Jeff. I sure as hell would'nt have known Giambi was signed even if it was written by a skywriter. Even as a Yankee fan, I was never very fond of Giambi. The pornstar mustache didn't help his case for me, either. Ick.
If I was a 21-year-old kid who didn't know how to do much of anything else and had a chance to make it to the big leagues and make a fortune, I'd have stuck that needle into my **** so fast the rest of reality would've looked like it was standing still.
Most success from using steroids: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi, David Ortiz. =/ boo, why do they have to cheat to do good?
Lisa — I thought Yankee fans loved that thing. They even dedicated a whole day to it last year.
Prince — Luckily for your **** that didn't happen. They do have large veins though.
Ted — 'Cuz Bud & Co. looked the other way.
I always liked Giambi, so I'm glad he gets a chance to provide some power off the bench and keep going. Who knows if he'll hit at all. But the Rockies probably got him for nothing.
Jane — You're a Giambi fan? Really? Hm. Well, you're right about the "for nothing" part… which is exactly what he's worth, especially considering he won't factor in at all.
I have met the guy a few times when he was outr cruising the chicken wing joints with some of his team mates.
I like the guy for what he did on the ball field, and actually wanted the Rays to sign him instead of Burrell way back in March 2009.
I do have to say, on the Trop's jumbotron, he looks like he has serial killer eyes.
But now that he is in Triple-A Colorado Springs rehabbing himself and getting back into "fighter's mode" I only wish the best for the guy.
I can not throw a stone in regards to the steroids situation, because there are still so many names still left to be revealed it would be pointless. But common sense and his stats tells us he is off them now, and we are seeing the ture talents and power of Giambi.
Hopefully he will get another chance at the postseason with the Rockies and thrust that ball deep into the Denver night and silence a few voices for awhile.
Rays Renegade
Wow, those two photos explain everything! Is it me or does it always look like he is on something?
Not steroids either. He always looks dazed.
RR — Unfortunately for we baseball fans, I think Giambi's true talents are hidden underneath all that muck and can't get out. Does he even have true talent anymore? Signs point to no. Thus the release from the A's… we'll see. I don't wish him any ill will, just making a point that the game chews you up and tosses you away as quick as it puts you on a pedestal.
09indians — Dazed? I'd be dazed too if I went from paragon of slug to nothing in that short of a time.

Milwaukee Rep's soaring 'Ragtime' makes sweet music
Less than 10 minutes into the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's spectacular production of "Ragtime" — the crown jewel thus far in director Mark Clements' Rep tenure — it's already apparent that the next three hours of theater will be special.
Those opening moments — in which this musical's huge cast of characters make their introductions, and during which we get a rough sketch of the melting-pot story to come — can be turgid, confusing or both. »Read Full Article(4)

I have been battling having a low milk supply since I delivered my son six weeks ago. He had a very poor latch in the beginning and I was unable to keep up with pumping because he had some reflux issues (he needed to be held all the time).
Anyway, the latch issues are now resolved, but I still do not make enough milk to satisfy him. He will now only nurse for about 10 minutes a breast until the flow slows down and he becomes frustrated (he refuses to nurse after the flow slows). After I switch him back and forth one or two times, he screams because he is still hungry and so I supplement him with formula (1-2 oz).
I have tried increasing my water intake, taking fenugreek and pumping after nursing every 2-3 hrs; however, my supply does not seem to be increasing. The past few days, I get anywhere from only a couple of drops of milk after I nurse to an ounce if I pump while he is sleeping.
Two questions:
1) How much water should I be drinking?
2) Has anyone had success with Reglan?
I fear that if things do not improve soon, I may have to give up.

Unfortunately not all know this which caused several cars to end up swamped Monday afternoon when torrential rains fell on the city, trapping at least four vehicles in high water.
Members of the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department already had rushed to the Beeville Municipal Airport as the storm first arrived.
A Beeville Police Department dispatcher had radioed patrol units and firefighters that someone had seen a small airplane, that apparently had been flying into Live Oak County, turn around and apparently try to get back to Beeville's runway.
The dispatcher said the caller had indicated that the plane's engine could have been on fire. But heavy rains and lightning could have forced the plane to try to get to Beeville.
Emergency responders sent two ambulances from Angel Care Ambulance Service along with a rural fire truck and several police vehicles.
By the time the emergency crews arrived, the rain had become heavier. But as the crews huddled in their vehicles to stay dry, no plane appeared over the airport.
Eventually the emergency vehicles returned to the city just in time to respond to calls that several vehicles had stalled in high water.
One fireman said that in almost every incident, the trapped motorists had driven around barricades set up by city street crews and had tried to cross rising waters.
The first such call went out at 5:09 p.m. when a vehicle was caught in high water at the intersection of South Harrison and East Crockett streets.
Firemen quickly informed others that their high water rescue vehicle was out of commission for repairs.
Fortunately, the vehicle at Harrison and Crockett was able to get out of its predicament on its own.
The next call involved a car that was rapidly being enveloped in water at the intersection of East Milam and South Adams streets.
Two occupants were taken out of that vehicle.
Then firemen were sent to the intersection of U.S. Highway 181 and State Highway 202 at 5:25 p.m. Again, the vehicle was able to get out of the water without help.
The last call came right at 6 p.m. when a vehicle tried to cross Poesta Creek on South Tyler Street.
Two occupants were reached by a fireman using his personal truck and were rescued from the rising water.
Firemen were quick to remind Beeville residents that whenever several inches of rain falls on the city in such a short time, the same areas tend to flood and crossing certain intersections can be risky.
City street crews know where those areas are and they put out barricades for a reason. No one should think it is safe to drive around a barricade and try getting across the creek or intersection.

Patients are reeling with the news that they may have to travel to the mainland now that their transplant surgeries have been called off.
35-year-old Esther Aiolupotea was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia in November. She had been cancer free for five years and was prepared to battle again.
She was set to begin a 7-day regimen of high dose chemotherapy and then a bone marrow transplant Monday. Her doctor broke the bad news two days ago: the transplant can't happen in Hawaii now that the Hawaii Medical Center has decided to shut its doors.
"I pray every day. I am not on chemo and I still have leukemia. So it can easily spread rapidly," said Aiolupotea. I am just living one day at a time and praying for a miracle.?
The Kalihi mom wants nothing more than to heal for her children. But now she's caught in this unfortunate situation. She hopes to know Friday if her insurance will cover the transplant in Seattle. Across town, the Hawaii Bone Marrow Registry held its last drive of the year. At this Ward Starbucks location alone over the past two years, it has registered 1000 potential donors. As part of a national organization recruiters assured they will still hold bone marrow drives and fundraisers. but they are trying to partner with other hospitals.
"We started scrambling since Friday and looking into different options and we have been very busy," said Roy Yonashiro.
He does lament the loss of the relationship of a transplant team that has stuck it out under various owners.
?The employees stayed on. The staff stayed the doctors stayed on, and that never changed their love for us has never faltered. That is what we are going to miss. Yonashiro said.
The challenge is that like Esther Aiolupotea, donors may have to fly off island. Even with the setbacks of the last few days, this transplant patient is keeping positive. She hopes if she has her surgery soon, she can be back to enjoy bananas in her back yard.
She counts herself lucky that both a brother and sister are matches. She is thankful for the support of her family. And yet, she worries for other dozen or more bone marrow transplant patients who are in the same predicament.
?It?s a long process of waiting, and I don?t know how much longer I can wait,? Aiolupotea said.
Her family and friends are trying to organize a fundraiser to help deal with the unexpected expense. They have been told if she goes to Seattle, it may be 3 to 4 months before she can return to her children.

Looking Forward to the Weekend…
Tomorrow = two words: pitchers and catchers. WHOOOHOOOO!!! We are finally back to baseball! Sure, they are basically just running and streching, but they are running and streching in preparation for baseball. It is so exciting! How many long, hard months have we been waiting for this? Too many. Way too many.
It's going to be a tough season for me and all Padres fans. I just read a preview for the Padres and 2009 looks very bleak. It was a depressing article, actually. It seems very likely that Jake Peavy will not end the season with us. We're not going to win that many games with the team we are planning to put on the field. And I mean, VERY depressing article. But I need to have hope that this team will play above expectations. I mean, who thought the Rockies or the Rays would get to where they went? We can win. I know that. I am dying for my team to prove that they are better than what people expect them to be. I am a Padres fan, and proud of it. We may lose a lot of games this year, we might lose our All-Star, CY Young winner and ace Jake Peavy, but I will stand by my team and I will support them through the good, the bad, and the ugly. It just won't be easy.
But now, here is the most shocking news of all. You all know that I am super excited about tomorrow, and that the Padres' 2009 season is finally getting started. But…I am not going to be here! *gasp*! No, I will not be in San Diego, and no, I will not be in Arizona (that would be amazing!!), but I will be up in the mountains with a group from my church. We will be serving a group of about 700 teenagers in a camp up there. We serve them all their meals, but we get some time to ourselves to have Bible studies and stuff too. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I am really looking forward to it. There is two feet of snow up there right now from the storm last weekend, and there's another storm coming in today. It is going to be very cold. I'm really hoping that we'll be able to get up there before it starts snowing. It would be a big hassle to try to drive through the snow and everything. I have never been in falling snow in my life, but I have a pretty good feeling that I will be this weekend. It's going to be very cold, but I am very thankful that we have heated cabins with bathrooms on the inside. It's going to be an adventure, that's for sure. So, if any of you think of it, we would really appreciate prayer as we minister to a lot of hurting teenagers, and also safety on the road with the inclement weather.
We're leaving this afternoon, and we'll be back on Monday afternoon. Also, if there's any big news in the baseball world, feel free to leave me a comment so I can catch up on everything when I get back. Of course, you can also just leave a comment saying how much you miss me🙂 I'm really going to miss blogging and reading all of your blogs! Hey, you could also post links to entries you write so I can definitely read them when I get back! OK, OK, I do want a lot of comments when I get back🙂 See you Monday! And GO PADRES!!!

Thanks for checking out my blog Kaybee. I couldn't be happier about being back to baseball! Enjoy the season.
Displace Tribe Fan
Have fun on your trek to the mountains and remember to bundle up! Do you even own a winter coat!!??
Although the '09 outlook looks bleak, hang in there. It's much easier to be a fan when your team is winning. It's when they're not winning that you can show your true colors You're a true fan, believe it After all, we can't all be Red Sox and Yankee fans…!
Stay warm Kaybee! Baseball and blogging will be here when you get back and enjoy your time away with friends. Maybe they'll be a few fans up there you can talk baseball with : )
Have fun up in the mountains, Kaybee! And stay warm! Coming from a Chicago girl, it can get pretty cold with snow falling. A different type of cold than Chicago, but cold nonetheless! And falling snow is beautiful (even though I absolutely hate snow). I'll stop by early Monday morning (before class) and leave you links for my blog! 🙂 Hahaha! Have a great weekend!
Kaybee – have a wonderful time! You will love falling snow; take it from a New Englander! If you need any cold weather advice – just ask! My husband & sons have just come off a weekend of winter camping (in the snow & tents!) with the Boy Scouts! I promise – if there is any big Padres news I'll be sure to report it for you!
NICK, I sure hope we have a good season.
HAPPY, I actually don't, but a friend is bringing one for me. Thanks so much, your comment was really encouraging!
TOM, thanks! That's what I'm hoping…
JEN, we're supposed to get 5-7 inches up there tonight, so I will get to find out if I like it or not. Thanks!
JULIA, Thanks so much! Like if we sign Manny or something crazy like that, I'm sure you'll let me know!
I will say it looks like a lot better year then last. I think they will win 75 to 80 games this year. Still not good but better.
Kaybee: I hope that you have fun with your church group! It's so great that you are doing that, and you can be rest assured that my prayers are with you. Enjoy, and we'll miss you over here on the blogosphere!
You have to trade big names like Peavy and build around prospects and young talent like Kouzmanoff and Adrian Gonzalez. Thats how rebuilding works sadly.
the first project assignment is up and running! Grade another MLBlog! You've already been graded by a little birdy….
I know I'm late but I hope you're having fun right now! You are in my prayers. Everyone misses you and including me!
I have a Padres news. We have a new hitting coach! His name is Jim Lefebvre. He managed the Mariners, Cubs, and Brewers. He sounds like a great coach. We'll wait and see what he can do for us. I can't wait for more reports to come.Well Kaybee, be safe and enjoy!!
Kaybee – Congrats to making it to #29 on the Latest Leader's List!
Kaybee, hope that your having a great time this weekend. looking forward to reading a new post soon!
Kaybee, hope your weekend went well, and it was not too cold! It is a great thing that you were willing and able to give a weekend of your time to help others! Congrats on your ranking as well!

By Tonya Garner: CNJ staff writer
Clovis resident Ann Morrison stood Friday in the parking lot of S&S Supermarket, eyes trained on the blond man crooning from atop a tour bus.
Country singer Brian Stace made a stop in Clovis to promote his new CD. The blue-eyed Wisconsin native is also seeking a wife. His 40-foot, black bus features the question, "Who wants to marry Brian Stace?" in large letters along with a photo featuring his light-blue eyes.
Stace refers to it as "the rolling bachelor billboard." Although it is an odd way to meet people, Stace said he is seriously looking to get married.
"I function best when I have a good partner with me," Stace said. "It calms me down." He said he would like to meet someone easy-going with a great sense of humor.
"I also want her to be motivated to achieve her goals and dreams," Stace said.
According to Stace, hundreds of women have applied but he hasn't had time to decide due to his busy travel schedule.
Morrison said Stace's looks definitely meet her criteria for a dream guy, but she plans to stick with her husband of 18 years.
Her 11-year-old daughter Briana said she enjoyed the singer's music but wasn't interested in marrying him either. The blonde sixth-grader said she just didn't think he was that cute.
"Plus I am only 11," she said.
Stace performed four songs along with his three-piece band to a crowd of approximately 20. He was decked out in ripped and faded blue jeans, a sleeveless black T-shirt and sunglasses.
Morrison said she came because she heard about it on the radio and was curious. The performer closed the show with a song entitled "Baby Take Your Clothes Off, Daddy's Coming Home." The small crowd responded to the song with catcalls, claps and whistles.
Stace ended the event by selling T-shirts, CDs and posters.
"I enjoyed the show," Morrison said. "I think he will do well."

It's mid-July and if you haven't found the time to travel just yet -but plan to soon- some pointers from Taskhire (with the help of our team of Taskrunners!) is just another way we can help you make sure your return from vacation is as painless as possible- nobody likes to get bogged down by post-vacation "coming-home" chores. Taking our cue from Christina Peterson at GoodHouskeeping.com, here are a couple of ways Taskhire can help you stave off any post-traveling housekeeping.
If you're leaving for paradise and you know the chores waiting for you at home, why not post a couple of tasks for our Taskrunners to complete for while you're away. It takes less than 2 minutes to post a task. The peace of mind in knowing that your return from sun soaked beaches won't be tarred by your neglected fridge or less-than-par state of your lawn. Take the extra time you saved with Taskhire for one last escape to the pool, and help ease your way back into the swing of things.
Here are a couple of ideas:
1- Laundry:
While you're taking the time to catch up on your email, set aside your laundry that needs washing for a Taskrunner to finish. If you're a family of three or more, you know how long of a process this than be with each member having traveled with their own suitcase. Save yourself the grief and double your productivity by not having to pay special mind to the imminent task of laundry.
An additional task can be for to wash and re-set the bedding of your household so that you're first night back makes you feel like you were back at that "Bed & Breakfast" you weren't quite ready to leave behind.
2 – Gardening and Lawn Upkeep
With temperatures surpassing 30* this summer, the last thing you want to do is be on your hands and knees weeding your garden or front yard. Hire a Taskrunner to water or weed your garden for you. That way you can spend your time inside tending to the other, more pressing needs of your home. This would also be a great idea for all those households with allergies; don't spend your time fighting allergens if you don't have to!
3 - Cleaning out your Fridge
Whether you're on a 5 day cruise or you've been backpacking in Europe for the month, food in your fridge is not going to stay fresh forever. In what is probably the most unsavory chore out of any post-vacation list of chores, hire a taskrunner to clean out your fridge. Wouldn't you rather spend your time marinating a couple of kebabs to BBQ later with your spare time?
These are but a few ideas Taskhire has up its sleeve to help you enjoy as much of your summer and time away from home as possible, helping make you feel happier and less stressed!

By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
Brian Stacy has mixed feelings about the relatively small number of teams competing in Clovis High's cross country invitational, scheduled for this morning at Ned Houk Park.
"On one hand, I wish we had two or three more teams and could make it a bigger field," Stacy said. "On the other hand, it gives our kids a better chance to medal."
Clovis, Hobbs and Bovina are scheduled to have full boys and girls teams, Stacy said, while Hereford will bring its boys squad and Canyon its girls contingent. He added that there may also be a few individual runners.
The varsity girls race is scheduled for 10 a.m., followed at roughly half-hour intervals by the varsity boys, junior varsity girls and JV boys. All races are three miles.
Clovis teams have competed in Texas in their first two meets, meaning the girls races have only been two miles.
Lady Wildcats junior Tori Northcutt said she's looking forward to the longer course.
"That's what we train for, so I'm ready for it," she said. "We're trying to build toward district and state (meets).
"Two miles is more like a sprint. With three miles, you have to more time to get your composure and try to catch someone."
Hereford's boys and Canyon's girls dominated last weekend's meet at Plainview. The Wildcats and Lady Wildcats were seventh in team standings.
Stacy said he hopes the Cats' top runner, senior Mike Wareham, can keep Hereford from a perfect score of 15, which the Whitefaces would attain by taking the top five spots.
"They're pretty strong competition," Clovis senior Josh Worley said. "But our team this year is really good. We've got a lot of new people (out) who are really excited about cross country. It's a team that's only going to get better."
Northcutt said running at home should be a plus.
"We run here all the time," she said. "We know all the hills and where the holes are."
She doesn't have any set goals for the race.
"Not really for the first (three-mile) meet," she said. "I guess we'll just see where we're at."

- Nonlinear biofluvial responses to vegetation change in a semiarid environment
- Author(s)
- Neave, Mel; Rayburg, Scott
- Abstract
- The desertification of grassland communities in the Jornada del Muerto Basin, southern New Mexico, USA, has occurred in association with a series of geomorphic responses that have influenced the system of vegetation change. Rainfall simulation experiments indicate that the volume of runoff generated from basin surfaces and its ability to erode are greatly affected by the distribution of vegetation, which ultimately controls processes such as rainsplash erosion, soil infiltrability and crust development. Animal activities also influence rates of sediment movement from unvegetated surfaces by disrupting soil crusts and making loose sediment available for transportation by overland flow. Shrublands in the Jornada Basin have a patchier vegetation cover than grasslands, with vegetated areas (shrubs) being separated by unvegetated (intershrub) zones. The exposed intershrub surfaces are more vulnerable to erosion than the grass and shrub surfaces. Thus, water and sediment yields, calculated using rainfall simulation experiments, were higher for vegetated (shrub and grass) plots than they were for unvegetated (intershrub) plots. The runoff and erosion model, KINEROS2, predicts that at the base of a 100m slope, shrubland surfaces shed seven times more runoff and 25 times more sediment than grassland surfaces. Evidence to support the prediction of higher rates of erosion in the shrubland can be found in the form of the extensive rill networks that are common in this community. The contraction of grasslands has been associated with elevated rates of erosion that have altered the morphology of the surface, lowering slopes between shrubs, and increasing the amplitude of the microtopography. Overall, the viability of the exposed soils for recolonization by grasses has been reduced, reinforcing the system of shrubland invasion and lending support to the use of state-and-transition models to describe ecologic responses to change within this environment. Combined, these results indicate that biophysical interactions in semiarid environments, such as the Jornada del Muerto Basin, are extremely complex and highlight the need for integrative investigations in these regions.

Underpaid waitress wins appeal to claim double damages, $112,000 attorney fees
Here's another expensive example of why bosses shouldn't date employees, and vice versa.
Shawn Johnson started working as a waitress at Roma's (with restaurants in East Troy and Waterford) in 2003. At some point she began a relationship with owner Mark Galluzzo and became a manager, but by 2006 she had quit and filed a complaint with the state seeking $9,500 in unpaid wages. »Read Full Blog Post(34)
Walker's budget to include $29 million for mental health
Madison - In the wake of recent mass shootings in Wisconsin and elsewhere nationally, Gov. Scott Walker Wednesday proposed nearly $29 million more in state money for treating mental illness - a move that could have a big impact on efforts to update Milwaukee County's outdated system of care.
Speaking to the Wisconsin Counties Association, the Republican governor said that the funding would improve children's lives, lower the use of other public services by mentally ill residents left untreated and pull in millions of dollars in additional federal money. »Read Full Article(146)

Audit targets foster care
Madison - The owners of a Dane County firm for foster children charged taxpayers millions of dollars in fraudulent or improper charges - or one in every three dollars they billed, according to the allegations made in a state audit.
