8-7-10 PNC Park
It was a Saturday game at PNC Park – but it was also a Skyblast (Fireworks + George Thorogood concert), so there would be a sellout crowd on hand today.
My goal was to snag seven balls to give me 400 on the season.
I was second in line at the gate and was the first one into the bleachers. There wasn't anything going on in the cage, but a few Pirates must've taken some early swings because I found two balls laying in the front row here:
I then made my way over to foul territory as a few of the Pirates position players were warming up. New Pirates catcher Chris Synder threw me his ball as he walked off the field for ball #3.
Game: 10 balls (6 hit, 1 thrown, 1 device, 2 found)
Season: 403 balls (211 hit, 88 thrown, 51 device, 53 found)
Games: 61 games
Average: 6.61 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 5
Career: 981 balls
Streak: 157 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 38,147

How nice was it that we had an hour just for STHs instead of the usual 30 minutes. Glad to see you took advantage of it.
Left field was "incredibly crowded"? I don't think you know how lucky you are to ballhawk in Pittsburgh man! I only wish I had to deal with crowds like that! Good luck on 1,000 pal!

At the special roundtable, "Financing the Future" hosted by NRPA and the Urban Institute on September 27th in Washington, D.C., one comment in particular came through loud and clear: There are no more boxes to think outside of anymore. How true. In a full day of frank and passionate exchanges among not only parks professionals and advocates, but also mayors of U.S. cities, speaker after speaker offered ideas, insight, and counsel for what ails the financing of parks and recreation in America. Not everyone agreed with each other, and that was good. Much common ground was identified, which more than ever is crucial for moving forward.
NRPA and the Urban Institute, with cooperation from the National Association of Counties and the National League of Cities, partnered to bring high level decision makers together in one setting to tackle this most vexing of issues facing parks today—how to ensure that there is sustainable long-term funding for public parks.
Having the four current and former mayors discussing their struggles to reconcile idealism with political reality provided the dimension needed to ensure the conversation stayed outside the much lamented "box." With representatives from the highest level of virtually every corner of the world affecting parks—agency directors, citizen advocates, think tanks, vendors, the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, philanthropists, architects, the White House, hospitality, and the National Park Service—no idea went unexamined, but many were challenged.
The organizers, NRPA and UI, intend to take the lessons learned and the questions posed in the day-long roundtable sessions to craft a research and action agenda for moving forward. This working discussion will serve as the basis to craft new knowledge and resources for parks and recreation professionals and advocates.
Following are 15 key take-away points from the day. There were many more. And not all of these key points are outright prescriptions—some are deeply considered questions posed by urban park directors. Look for a full-report on these and other points of discussion in the near future from NRPA and its monthly magazine, Parks & Recreation. Also, on or about Oct 12, check the NRPA website for the audio recordings of Sessions 2, "Making Market Based Approaches for Parks and Recreation Work," with a panel from the private sector, and Session 3, "Tackling Fiscal Challenges: Case Studies of Cities and Counties," with a panel of park and recreation directors from large urban park systems.
Fifteen key take-aways from the Roundtable:
Phil Hayward EditorPARKS & RECREATION Magazine
These are insightful takeaways from the Financing the Future roundtable. It seems that "making the case" for the value of parks and recreation services - economic, environmental, health, education and quality of life - is still our industry's major challenge (and opportunity). I don't have the statistics, but it would be interesting to see how parks and recreation funding as a percentage of total agency budget has fared during this protracted recession. A mayor or city council may tout their community's park systems, but the budget may reflect a disproportionately underfunded parks and recreation system. Public safety usually reigns in shrinking city budgets ... and often results in parks and recreation getting an increasingly smaller slice of the funding pie. All local parks and recreation agencies are just that...local...and must rely primarily on their local revenue sources, typically income or property taxes that must be shared with other government agencies. Local officials must really appreciate the value of their parks and recreation systems...and fund them as if they were essential to the citizens in their jurisdiction. Public officials can tell you how much they value parks and recreation, but the real proof is in the annual operating budget. Prioritizing the allocation of public funds to provide essential government services is a challenge for our local leaders. Parks and recreation agencies that generate their own revenue through a tax levy usually fare much better than their general fund supported counterparts. With sufficient, predictable funding citizens will recieve those essential services that they demand and deserve.
by Mark Young on
The end of thinking outside the box because there are no more boxes rang true at this Urban Institute discussion. What was working well in one community was totally foreign, or forbidden (socially unacceptable) in another. The idea of "pay to play" has been around for a long time, but offering only programs that are 100% sustainable through fees is difficult in some cities/agencies. Educating the public that parks and recreation need a dedicated funding source is one key to sustainability, and yet difficult to achieve in a down economy. Proving that funding parks and recreation serves more people in positive ways than funding public safety is being done in America's toughest neighborhoods, but making it ring true in less densely populated areas is a daunting task.
The Urban Institute summit on parks and recreation will result in great ideas for needed research. We learned there is no magic bullet to end the debate and the issues will be discussed, evaluated and reshaped for many years to come. It is a start, and a step in a positive direction. Thanks to all the organizers and participants in making this day worthwhile.

NRPA Members -- what do you think about the 15 take-aways from the Roundtable? Anything surprise you? What surprised me the most was when one of the mayors said at the end of the day, he supported communities that would vote for him for re-election. It wasn't the studies that showed enconomic benefit, crime reduction, etc. He admitted that he put or improved parks where he could get votes.
If this is true what does it mean for your parks?

Did you know your thoughts affect your health? Really impact you physically? You've heard it said we live in a mental world. The indications that support this statement are many.
Case in point:
In the post Your Birthday Can Kill You Newsmax Health shares interesting details from research published in the Annals of Epidemiology. "Overall, the research revealed a 13.8 percent greater probability people will die on the day they were born, said the report."
If fixating on your birthday causes stress and/or readies you "for a possible major life event on that day," can't you assume your thought is a key factor to your health?
As well, Russ Gerber in a Huffingtonpost article The Next Big Decision on Health Care May Be Your Own, relates that:
Isn't it in fact a mental world if unhealthy thinking causes illness? And, if unhealthy thinking causes illness, even death, but healthy thinking can promote and protect your health, then shouldn't you, by all means, think healthy?
What is healthy thinking? Believe it or not, in my Christian and mental healing practice, I've found that the less you think about the body the better. When overly concerned with the body, you may not be recognizing the real you.
The prescription of a master healer some 2000 years ago was this: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on." This radical-care plan of Jesus' never ignored anyone's physical or mental problems. Just the opposite; the Bible indicates that Jesus had a stellar track record when it came to caring for the sick.
Perhaps Jesus' success centered on his ability to focus on the spiritual selfhood of those needing help. Could this mean that a more spiritual focus allows God's love and spiritual laws to govern you mentally and physically?
Research seems to indicate that spiritual awareness does promote health.
For example, Jeff Levin, in his book God, Faith, and Health: Exploring the Spirituality Healing Connection, writes, "The best study conducted to date on the topic of religious attendance and health found the most amazing results. It showed that the protective effects of frequent participation in church can last a lifetime. … Published in the American Journal of Public Health, [one] study found that frequent religious attenders had greater survival rates — that is, lower mortality — that extended over a twenty-eight-year period. Frequent religious attendance in 1965 was still reducing the risk of dying in 1994."
Another health explorer is finding thought to be an important key to your health:
Lissa Rankin, MD, in a blog post You're Healed If You Think You Are, writes, "As research for my upcoming book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself, I have been digging deep into the medical literature, going back as far as the 1920's into medical journals in order to find cold, hard science to prove what I have long believed – that we hold within us self-healing superpowers that are stronger than any chemotherapy and more effective than any surgery. …Your state of mind greatly affects the state of your body."
Since it appears that your thought is a key factor to your health, it may benefit you the most to contemplate the body less and health and happiness more. Consider recognizing yourself as healthy because spiritual facts declare that you are. Your spiritual thinking just may be that healing superpower.

Weekly Picks & Meal Club for 2013
Unless the points system changes with the administrators, you get 5 points each day for logging in and will probably be reset down to 180 points. Then when making your picks in the weekly picks games run by the administrators, if you should get 1 driver in the right spot…you get 30 points, you get 2 drivers in the right spot…you get 50 points, you get all 3 drivers in the right spot…you get 100 points.
However, if you get so much as one driver out of order then you are treated as all your drivers as being out of order. So pick 1 correct driver…you get 10 points, 2 correct drivers…you get 30 points, and 3 correct drivers…you get 50 points.
All picks must be made by midnight EST the day before the race. So if we have a Saturday race, you have to have your picks made by midnight Friday or your picks will not count or be saved.
If one SHR driver comes in the top 3, then everybody who made a pick will get an extra 5 points. If two SHR drivers come in the top 3, then everybody who made a pick will get an extra 10 points. If all three SHR drivers come in the top 3, then everybody who made a pick will get an extra 15 points. Now remember this only works if you are making your picks on the administrators weekly picks game.
If I notice or when I find out the administrators are doing things a little differently, then I will update this thread on this initial post.
Now, as the Garage Gang contest and its trophy, we will have to wait for Garage Gang Member HTower to fill us in on how that program is going to work.
For those posting your picks, please post which ones are for Weekly Picks and which ones are for Gang Picks.
In Honor of my nephew serving our country out of Baumholder Army Base in Germany.

This tutorial has been written for both vi and vim. It starts with real basics, such as cursor navigation and ends with more advanced techniques like merging files.
For every section of this tutorial there is a short video with hints to help you understand how vim / vi works. Even that I have divided this tutorial into parts from novice to the expert user, there is plenty more what vim can do to make your work with vim editor easier and more efficient.
However completing this tutorial you will give sufficient knowledge about vim / vi and its features for your daily tasks.
In vim you can move cursor around with following keys h, l, k, j which is left, right, up and down respectively.
You can move cursor around also with arrow keys, however this is possible only if they are available.
Vim was designed for all kinds of terminals where arrow keys may not be available for you. Moreover, once you get used to using vim with h, l, k, j you will move more quickly than using arrow keys.
Open some text file and try use above keys now:
vim yourfile.txt
NOTE: You do not have to create a file prior to execution of the above command. If the file does not exists it will be created. If the file does exists it will be opened.

What a mix: National Charity League gets a boost
If you weren't at OC Mart Mix on Thursday you missed the hippest holiday boutique of the season so far. The National Charity League's Shopping with a Heart sale brought together 19 stores from the Mix, 8 SOCO retailers and 26 independent vendors. The goods were eclectic and eye popping.
Credit Joy Ward, event chair who brought her husband on board, Bryon Ward of Burnham Ward Properties. He's a co-owner of SOCO/OC Mart Mix, the event's home for the past two years. "Before, we had it at the Balboa Bay Club where it was cramped. Here we have more room and there are eight places to have lunch," she said, adding that 15 percent of sales will be donated to 30 local charities. Ward looked chic in a little black dress, pink scarf and peep-toe pumps, talking about the group's mission.
Co-chair Susan Beall wore a print dress by Kate Spade. Beall's family has worked with the league, a group that emphasizes mom/daughter volunteer activities, for three generations. "I was in the league with my mother (Melinda Brownfield). I never thought I would come full circle," she said. She volunteers with her daughters: Meredith, 15, Hillary, 13, and Bridget, 9.
Shoppers strolled through tables laden with fancy pajamas, holiday cookies and candy, leather handbags and one-of-a-kind items. At Analog, Alex Forsythe offered sets of speakers built into vintage luggage complete with blue tooth technology and iPod ports ($850-$1,000). Christa Favreau sold jewelry made with timeless objects: St. Christopher medals imported from Poland, pieces of silver flatware and Thai cameos ($125-$175).
Shoppers also got sneak previews of two new beverage bars, not open yet but coming soon: Birdie juice bar and Seventh, a tea spinoff of Portola Coffee.

Project ID: 2002WV5B
Title: WRI48-Impact of Longwall Mining on Headwater Streams in Northern West Virginia
Project Type: Research
Focus Categories: Conservation, Ecology, Water Quantity
Keywords: headwater streams, stream ecology, aquatic insect, biological criteria, dewatering, perennial, intermittent, ephemeral
Start Date: 05/01/2002
End Date: 12/31/2003
Federal Funds: $19866.00
Matching Funds: $41085.00
Congressional District: 1
Principal Investigator: Stout, Ben (Wheeling Jesuit Univ.)
Abstract: The purpose of
this research is to measure potential impacts of longwall mining to streams
in northern West Virginia, and to evaluate a relatively new method of assessing
damage to headwater streams based on the biological community. This will
accomplished by the principle investigator and three undergraduate researchers
during the summer 2002. The four-person team will conduct biological assessments
of headwater streams in Marshall and Monongalia Counties, West Virginia.
each mining region,undermined streams will be paired with nearby reference
streams that are similar geographically but are either un-mined or have been
room and pillar mined. In the field, two streams (mined, un-mined) will be
sampled each day by a four-person team consisting of the principle investigator
and three undergraduate researchers. Each stream will be followed to the
and the source location recorded using Global Positioning Systems. The source
(spring, or seep) will be sampled for pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen,
and temperature using standardized field meters. Three investigators will
collect aquatic macroinvertebrates from a ten meter reach using any means
practical (hand-picking, nets, pans, forceps) for a total of 10 minutes (timed).
The resulting 30-minute composite sample will be stored in a pre-labeled
ml plastic container, preserved in ethanol, and returned to the laboratory.
The team will measure fifty meters downstream with a tape, GPS the location,
and repeat the chemical and biological sampling. Sampling will continue at
100 meter intervals for a total of eight samples per stream. The paired (disturbed,
or reference) watershed will be sampled the same day. Sampling will be conducted
in May and June, 2002, laboratory work will be done in July and August, and
analysis will be done from August to December, 2002. In the laboratory (210b
Donahue Hall, WJU, Wheeling), macroinvertebrates from stream samples will
be sorted and identified to the lowest practical taxonomic level (usually
genus). Chemical and biological data will be compiled in spreadsheets. Spreadsheets
will be analyzed for community-level metrics including taxa richness (number
of kinds) as a measure of diversity, and number of EPT (mayfly, stonefly
caddisfly) taxa as an indication of the purely aquatic, relatively long-lived
taxa. The database will also be queried to determine the number of taxa with
life cycles greater than one-year in length as a biological measure of the
duration of surface water at a site (i.e. intermittent versus perennial).
The percent abundance of each of four functional feeding groups (leaf shredders,
fine particle collectors, algal grazers, predators) will be calculated in
order to compare the trophic status (energy balance) of communities at each
site. Basin geomorphology including watershed area, stream elevation, slope,
and aspect will be measured. In analysis, eight samples collected along the
longitudinal stream gradient will represent each stream. Samples site locations
will be predetermined randomly based on distance measurement from the source,
and samples collected at regular (50, 100 meter) intervals will be representative
of the entire headwater stream watershed-ecosystem. Mined and reference streams
will be compared using two-way analysis of variance of streams within regions.
These data will also be pooled with previously-collected databases to provide
a broader regional analysis. Analysis of spatially continuous replicate samples
will identify points on the landscape where biological communities originate
within streams and points where streams become perennial (versus intermittent)
based on discrete biological criteria (eg: longevity of the aquatic phase
of each of the taxa represented). Existing topographic data will then be
(regression analysis) to find metrics (eg: watershed area, elevation, stream
order) that best explain the locations of point-of-origin, and point of perennial
stream origin.

Oh where is the video cam when needed. I do hope you are ok but I couldn't help but nearly fall on the floor laughing. Good show, but really next time video tape it or something.
Due to working in a kitchen all these years, I've developed callousy finger that are like asbestos. Nah, it still hurts though.
Oh babe, come here and I'll make it better,Originally Posted by Cousin
Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny.
I remember several years ago, I was fixing mashed potatoes in a pot that had a wooden handle on it. The wooden handle was a little loose on the pot. When they were done cooking, I was spooning the hot potatoes into a ceramic bowl, when somehow, the wooden handle came off the metal spindle on the pot. The pot flipped over and everything came dumping out on the side of the kitchen counter, missing the bowl completely, and dropping down the side of the counter of the floor.
I just instinctively reacted, and reached down with my hands to catch what was falling onto the floor, not thinking that I had just taken them off the burner. It was like sticking my hands into hot tar. I screamed, slinging hot potatoes all over the kitchen, the pot clattered onto the floor. What was left in the pot then came splattering up all over my bare feet and legs (I was wearing short pants). So there I am, with scalding potatoes all over my hands, feet and legs, running through the apartment to the shower. I jumped into the tub, and ran cold water over everything... Then I went back to the kitchen, and cleaned everything up... What a mess... After it was all over, I remember thinking, I really didn't want mashed potatoes anyway...
I'm surprised that the thread didn't go the way of dicking the pie and then having to put your dick in your mouth to get the filling off.....
But when sugar is combined with water, the mixture can be heated to a much higher temperature. So you can in fact get a bad burn.
The worst one is hot oil, I think. That gets really really hot.
Oh, and hey--when you want to see if the flame on the stove is on medium or high? Don't stick your finger in there, either. 'K?
Hope your feeling better, Cousin. Tá brón orm.
The world never changes if you're forever "minding my own business".
The mindset that no one knows you're gay because you haven't told them,
is like the dog that thinks you don't see him stealing the steak because he avoids your glance.
Staying in the closet is like continuing to sit in the back of the bus.
It's accepting that it's wrong to be who you are.

Savannah is nine weeks old. For the first eight weeks she never spit up and was the easiest baby to feed and burp. Starting a few days ago she spits up within minutes of every feeding, and it's the thick white "stuff."
We had a month of colic where she'd cry all night long and a bout of eczema that disappeared as quickly as it came. She might be dairy sensitive, but I haven't definitely pinned that down to anything I'd eaten.
Any ideas?

It's down to the wire for Valentine's Day shoppers.
That also means it's crunch time for retailers.
The National Retail Federation predicts the average shopper will spend about $131 on Valentine's Day gifts.
Some local businesses said that spending helps pull them out of the January slump that can come after the holidays drain people's wallets.
Love is in the air and, at La Crosse Floral, so is the scent of roses -- lots and lots of roses.
"A lot of the rose growers want us to have our orders in in December, actually sometimes before Christmas," said La Crosse Floral President Linda Zoerb.
A shop full of employees is working this week to get those roses into vases and out the door.
"For most florists, 7 to 8 percent of your income on an annual basis will be from the month of February," said Zoerb.
Valentine's Day is big business for Finnottes Nut & Chocolate Shop too, especially after the post-holiday slump.
"Everybody scales back in January. They've had all of the parties, all of the desserts, all of the special treats. And they kind of say, 'OK, that was too much for a while. Now I'm going to back off.' And by about the time the first of February rolls around, they're ready to do it again," said Finnottes owner Laurie Finn.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to shoppers like Eric Schoenfeld, who said he's spending a little more on the holiday this year.
"This year, I had a surgery right around Christmas time, and it made Christmas difficult. And so I just need to be on point and show my appreciation to my bride for all that she did for me over that rough time," said Schoenfeld.
Crescent Jewelers owner Lynne McIlvaine said December and February are usually the biggest months for engagement ring sales.
But this Valentine's Day, McIlvaine said it's really picked up. She chalks it up to better consumer confidence.

Broadband tower approved for Vt. townOctober 16,2013Broadband tower
approved for town
GUILFORD The Vermont Public Service Board has approved the building of a 90-foot-tall wireless-broadband tower in Guilford.

After Typhoon Haiyan slammed the Philippines in November, World Vision staff members moved quickly to find each child and family enrolled in sponsorship to identify their needs and concerns.
After Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the Philippines in November, World Vision staff went door to door to locate the nearly 40,000 children registered in its sponsorship program.
The monster storm devastated 20 development project areas where World Vision works, including Bohol province, which had also been badly damaged by an earlier earthquake. At last count, the project areas had 38,945 children registered with World Vision. U.S. donors sponsor more than 5,600 of those children, in Leyte and Antique provinces.
World Vision staff members moved quickly to find each child and family enrolled in sponsorship. Travel was tough with debris and impassable roads. Communication proved even tougher; power lines and cell phone towers were down.
"We did [counting] house to house, registered child to registered child," World Vision program officer Francis Carreon explains. "It was challenging to verify the location of the children and the situation of families, since many of them were busy looking for help. We also had to go back the following week to do a re-count and verify their situations."
Staff noted each family's concerns: health, physical and emotional well-being, economic recovery, and schooling. For children who lost family members in the storm, staff devoted time and space to children's psychosocial needs, says Emely Buscato, a child sponsorship quality specialist for World Vision.
"We had to make sure that we don't just account for the children, but we also listen to what they have to say," Francis says.
For World Vision-sponsored child Kim, the opportunity to talk about her fears with a caring adult was a turning point in her recovery.
On November 20, World Vision began relief distributions on Panay Island, where Kim's family lives.
"World Vision staff came to our place to check on us. We were asked about what we went through and how we felt," she says. "I felt good after crying my fear out to the staff. She was the first to hear my story because I didn't want my parents to worry about me."
Kim said because of their kindness, she felt like World Vision staff were her own ates and kuyas (older sisters and brothers).
Four months after the typhoon, Kim's family is still living in a makeshift house, struggling to cover expenses. Despite their losses and the memories that haunt them, Kim says they are hopeful for the future.
"It feels great to know that despite the typhoon that hit our community, there are people who continue to help, support, and remember us. Thank you very much," she says.
Please pray for World Vision staff members in countries around the world who go to great lengths to account for World Vision sponsored children in emergency situations and help them through the recovery process.
Sponsor a child in the Philippines. In the aftermath of a disaster like Typhoon Haiyan, sponsorship builds resilience for a child and entire community, providing them with life-saving basics and the ability to better cope with crises.

I think it will be pretty awesome we will get to see Naruto fight along side his dad and mom in another universe. Looks awesome.
how good was the last one?
The wait has been so long but it's almost over
I hope it's good
It was alright i think.
it will be like all the rest shitty
I want to see Menma. He is badass.
I don't usually watch the movies due to how cheesy and repetitive they are but this one by far looks like its going to be amazing

probably better than the previous ones since kishi wrote this one
I believe it was said there wasn't going to be a Naruto movie this year but in 2014.
Well I am still waiting to see the last one, which should be subbed sometime in April hopefully!
As for the next movie, him fighting with his data is the 4th Shippuden movie was a disappointment. So I am sceptical on whether adding his mom to the picture would be any better.
Plus they are already did time travelling on movie 4 and in movie 5 they have done alternate universe.
A good Naruto movie would be seeing the rest of Konaha get some good action in it, like in shippuden movie 3!
I think Sasuke should get a movie for once.
better than all previous together...at least the trailler is promising
better than storm 3
Wait... What? Naruto and Minato in another universe? Tell me more.
I think it's going to be hot
I think it will be epic.

HomeopathySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself. Homeopathy was founded in the late 1700s in Germany and has been widely practiced throughout Europe. Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health.
Homeopathy is based on the idea that "like cures like." That is, if a substance causes a symptom in a healthy person, giving the person a very small amount of the same substance may cure the illness. In theory, a homeopathic dose enhances the body's normal healing and self-regulatory processes.
A homeopathic health practitioner (homeopath) uses pills or liquid mixtures (solutions) containing only a little of an active ingredient (usually a plant or mineral) for treatment of disease. These are known as highly diluted or "potentiated" substances. There is some evidence to show that homeopathic medicines may have helpful effects.
What is homeopathy used for?
Historically, people have used homeopathy to maintain health and treat a wide range of long-term illnesses, such as allergies, atopic dermatitis , rheumatoid arthritis , and irritable bowel syndrome . They have also used it to treat minor injuries, such as cuts and scrapes and muscle strains or sprains. Homeopathic treatment is not considered appropriate for illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, major infections, or emergencies.
Homeopathy has been widely used in India, England, and other European countries.
Is homeopathy safe?
Homeopathic remedies have been regulated in the United States since 1938 and are considered to be safe.
Some critics of homeopathy believe that there is so little active substance in a solution that any benefits from treatment are likely not because of the substance but because you are thinking it is effective ( placebo effect ).
It is important to tell your medical doctor if you decide to use homeopathic remedies. He or she should have full knowledge of your health to help you make wise decisions about where to purchase homeopathic dilutions and what homeopathic practitioner to see. Homeopathic remedies should not replace conventional treatments for serious health concerns.
You can buy some homeopathic medicines at health food stores without a doctor's prescription. But preparations from different suppliers and practitioners may vary.
Always tell your doctor if you are using an alternative therapy or if you are thinking about combining an alternative therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy.

The City of Mill Valley has a truck route ordinance that clarifies the approved route for large trucks and commercial vehicles in excess of 3 tons unladen weight (with exceptions made for local deliveries where violating the truck route is the only accessible way to reach a particular location). Compliance with the truck route provides for more expedient deliveries and may help reduce traffic collisions, excessive noise and heavy wear-and-tear to our residential roadways.
Sometimes large trucks cut through residential neighborhoods from East Blithedale Avenue to access businesses on Miller Avenue or the downtown area. These residential areas have narrow, winding roadways and are the main access for many young children who walk and bike to schools in the area. In addition to being unsafe, commercial vehicles in residential areas compound already congested traffic conditions.
If you live in a residential area that experiences commercial trucks cutting-through the neighborhood, you can report this violation. The Mill Valley Police Department is offering a Truck Route Violation Reporting Form to report this type of activity.
If you would like to report a commercial vehicle that is driving in violation, please click here. Fax the form to 415.389.4148 or mail to MVPD, 1 Hamilton Drive, Mill Valley CA 94941

Columbus City Schools have broken a string of losing students year after year, with its enrollment up significantly this fall.
The number of pupils jumped 1.1 percent this school year, following a minor uptick of 0.18 percent last school year. That reverses almost a decade of annual declines.
The initial head count for the district, representing how many students showed up the first full week in October, was up 559 kids over the head count from October 2012 — or about the size of two average elementary schools.
Interim Superintendent Dan Good is celebrating the increase as voters head to the polls today to decide whether to give his schools a 23.5 percent property-tax increase.
"Parents have many options in today's world — and most particularly in central Ohio," Good said in a statement. "We are honored that they have chosen Columbus City Schools as a partner in their child's education. Columbus City Schools has many wonderful and caring teachers across the district, and we will do everything possible to ensure that the children of Columbus get our very best every day."
District officials haven't yet checked to see which schools house the largest increases, said district spokesman Jeff Warner.
But a comparison of enrollment records on file with the Ohio Department of Education shows that the greatest increases of up to 300 students were in the first, second and third grades. The district also gained more than 100 students in preschool and kindergarten, while it lost hundreds of high-school sophomores, juniors and seniors. Other grades were a mixed bag, with some gaining students and some losing.
The 559-student increase is worth more than $3 million to the district in state financial aid.
District enrollment peaked at 110,173 during the 1971-72 school year and has dropped steadily since, leveling out at 64,000-65,000 students by the mid-1990s. But as charter schools took off in the early 2000s, followed by state vouchers for private schools, enrollment began to plummet again.
The total number of students in the district, charters and the voucher program hovered at just under 64,000 between 2004 and 2012, but the numbers attending the district fell by nearly 13,000 as students left for charter and voucher schools, according to an analysis by KidsOhio.
The October head count will be replaced by an average enrollment number, which is typically slightly lower than the head count, when the school year ends. That average will become the official enrollment number for the year.

Ok, I am not sure where I am going wrong. I am pumping all the time, like every 3-4 hours and I am even pumping at night. Which my Dr is blaming my lack of sleep on me getting bronchitis. It's been 10 days now and I am still at square 1. My OB put me on Reglan and I am taking Fenugreek 3x a day, but still not producing anything but colostrum and not enough to even drip, just enough to wipe. Is it because I am sick? I've had the Bronchitis sense last Tuesday.
Any help would be appreciated ladies!


text: My ds all the sudden wont nurse. He'll root around like a mad man but as soon as I get him to latch he just sits there looking at me. He might suckle a couple of times before he delatches then spits up. If I can get him to nurse he'll immediatly spit up a very large amount of milk. I burp him and most of the time get nothing. He has been a pretty easy bfer with a healthy appetite up until this point. Does he not like the taste? Exess gas? He's refusing ebm as well, even the stuff that I pumped a couple of days ago before this started so I'm thinking its not a tast thing. Any suggestions, I'm exhausted since he isn't really sleeping either. It seems like hes hungry but won't eat so he won't sleep well. sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm working off an hour of sleep.

Nikon Officially Discontinues D700, D300s Cameras
Change is on the way for Nikon's DSLR lineup. The company has officially moved two models, the D700 and D300s over to the "old products" page. The two cameras join a long list of discontinued products making room for the new. The D700 is expected to be replaced next week by the Nikon D800.
Nikon watchers expected the D700 to go away, however there has been little in the way of information regarding a D300s replacement. According to Nikon Rumors the upcoming D800 will be revealed on Tuesday, February 7th.
The D800 will sport a 36 megapixel image sensor and provide 51 auto focus points. USB 3.0 support and dual memory card slots are also expected, along with the Nikon Expeed 3 image processor. The display on the D800 could surpass three inches, and ISO sensitivity up to 6400 (ISO HI-2 at 25600) has also been rumored. The D800 may even come in two different models, with and without an antialiasing filter.
Information is much harder to come by when it comes to a successor to the D300s. It's possible the camera will be named the D400, however nothing is confirmed. The D800 will be in stores shortly after the announcement next week, and begin shipping within weeks. Nikon's latest is also expected to be in attendance at the CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show in Yokohama, Japan starting February 9th.Tag: News, Nikon D300s, Nikon D400, Nikon D700, Nikon D800

If there is one thing you can count on when going to see Bob Seger in concert, it's that you will get the maximum amount of bang for your hard-earned bucks.
That was never more evident than Saturday night, when the rocker led his Silver Bullet Band back to the Mohegan Sun Arena for a sold-out show.
While most concerts have a lull somewhere along the line, with Seger it was hit after hit for the two hours he was on stage. Even the two new songs he played flowed nicely with the 19 well-known numbers in the set list.
The concert got off to a bit of a rough start, as Seger's vocals were drowned out by the band. The problem was quickly remedied, and Seger's distinctive growl was back where it belonged as the focus of the show.
Seger, who turned 68 Monday, was energetic throughout, leading the crowd through a few sing-along moments, and graciously stepping aside at times to show off the virtuosity of his band members. None figured more prominently than sax star Alto Reed, although longtime Silver Bullets Craig Frost on keyboards and Don Brewer on drums — both former members of Grand Funk Railroad — got their time to shine.
The concert was basically critic-proof, as Seger has accumulated an impressive list of classic-rock staples in his four-plus decades of making music. Although our local classic-rock station rarely, if ever, plays Seger songs other than "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "Turn the Page," he had no trouble filling two hours with audience favorites. Even more impressive is looking at some of the songs that didn't make the cut this time around — "Still the Same," "You'll Accompany Me," "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," "Fire Lake," and "Shakedown," to name just a few.
Seger has even brought his hit song "Like a Rock" back to his full-time tour set list for the first time since 1986, which leads one to believe even he was sick of hearing it in those ubiquitous truck commercials.
I will admit to being a little disappointed that Seger played nothing from his comeback album of 2006, "Face the Promises," which was a welcome addition to his catalog after more than a decade of radio silence. Still, that's just nitpicking.
The first of the new songs, "All the Roads," was a wistful rocker, in the style of his "Mainstreet" or "Night Moves." The second new tune was a cover of "California Stars," which was recorded by Wilco using lyrics by Woody Guthrie.
Seger said both songs would be on an upcoming new record, which is a good omen for his fans. It's nice to know that his new album already has two great cuts on it.
