Help, ladies!
I don't have a lot of time to research the boards, but I have a friend who is nursing a 2 yr old. She has been going through some health issues of her own (not sure what they are, as they are none of my business), but every time she has a doctor's appointment, the doctors keep giving her a hard time telling her that she needs to wean as there is NO health benefits for BF for this long. She has no desire to stop now or any time in the future and is thoroughly researching her medications before taking them, etc.
Can someone show me the links that shows the benefits of extended BF? She wants to have something in writing to show to her doctors.

text: The year? 1981. The bike? Maico 490 Mega 2. Track? Saddleback Park. Often considered to be the greatest motocross bike of all-time, the 1981 Maico had the torquiest engine built up to the time, could turn on a dime, had great forks and oozed German coolness. Okay, the stock wheels would unravel in the first ride, the brake shoes had to be arced and the shocks need triple-rate springs with cross-over tubes to hold the bike up, but loyal Maico guys didn't mind. They knew that the end product would be a bike that almost rode itself. If you raced at Saddleback Park this is the bike you chased, but never caught.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Neji died
Neji will meet his father like kakashi and be revived eventually
No idea
Neji's curse will be removed if he is revived
He is still alive
Yeah, damn that kisk!

I'm glad Obito called Naruto out on his bs on the last page.

come at me about what?! lol It's manga fact now
when kishi didn't kill anyone from k11, people moan, now that he has, people moan again. it's impossible to make you guys happy...
What I want to know is why was Naruto standing there star struck while everyone around him was getting killed. :rofl:
Average chapter. This chapter showed how stupid and childish Obito is if anything. He has sealed his death with this chapter
Pravin! You're back!
Yeah, it doesn't matter that much. Still a bit touching.

You basically called hyuga useless
But doesn't Madara also have the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu? Can't he just revive his own body back?
Nah, pretty sure Sasuke was there with Susano'o, will ask them where is Naruto, they will tell him and u know how the others die ^_^
Originally Posted by Pravin5

Doesn't he wants to become Hokage? Then the stupid kid have to learn that this is war. Ergo yes
he's not going to die for long he is just going to be like kakashi who meets his father in the other world and then gets revived by rinne tensai by obito if obito mind changes from naruto talk no jutsu then maybe obito would reverse all the harm he did to the world or some person could just give up there life to revive neji because he is a prodigy.
thw whole point of neji dying is to finally meet his dad because neji never saw his dad in this war and the hygua master vs neji dad battle was skip so maybe this was for a reason so that neji would have a conversation with his dad first.
also if neji dies his curse might be removed from him so maybe neji is not really going to stay dead forever and come back to life without the curse.

Personally I find it good that he is killing off people. You guys always said " it's a war but nobody in konoha dies blah blah" well here we go" I think he is killing off people to max out konoha full potential
Shikkaku- Shikamaru
Inoque- Ino
Next in my eyes
Kiba/Shino parents
Why? They haven't had time to shine. So I think they will
If u notice... He is killing ppl with bonds. Not lame mtfs.
Next will more likely be after
*gulps real hard*
Guy- for lee
If Lee dies I would actually be kind of upset.
That kisk is a bastard!
This is war, no mather how good the chapter is they have to die. Next can be Sakura

he dont have his real body, its edo body see the diffrence
Seems possible that he'll come back.. :p
on the other hand it would make the show a bit dull if nobody actually dies for real you know
i can't wait to see lee's reaction

Lmao, this team is a ****ing headache lol. Why the **** am I laughing?
No! the best thing that happen in this game for the Knicks is when Jefferies
stepped up to D.Howard for elbowing rookie Jorts. Something u havnt seen
Tyson, Stat, or Melo do for any of their teammates.
Toney Douglas gets knocked down by high screens and low screens 2 and 3
times a game, none of our BIGS ever call out or warn TD of our oponents screens.
Whats worst than that....none of our BIGS set screens for any of our PG.
I watched several times when Jorts was two steps away from Melo or Shump to where if Jorts wouldve turned he couldve set a nice wide screen for either Melo or Shump to dribble around. but Jorts just stand at the side of the foul line to watch Melo and Shump shoot or drive the lane.
Our players are picking up to many damn bad habits from DUM coach Damnphony...
Lmao, this team is a ****ing headache lol. Why the **** am I laughing?
Spree....its bad u dont know what college Landry Fields came from.
This is why your response has no credibility. Plus Felton didnt run an
uptempo offense or system, he was decent in running transition off of a
steals from Fields, Douglas, or Chandler. Felton struggle the first 10 games of
the season (3-8 record) receiving 40+ minutes per game trying to effect the
"pick n roll" with Stat. 85% of Feltons assists came from an unstoppable
Stat. The majority of our wins came from the 3-Ball shooting that is why
Shawn Williams was added into the rotation. Our Defense lastseason came
from team-players: TD, Fields, Felton, Chandler, Gallo, and injury prone Turiaf.
Lastseason Landry Fields played with real teammates, this season Fields is
playing with high EGO's running the show.
I liked our effort today. We didn't look great, but there was a lot more effort and better play from Douglas, maybe Stoudemire too in the fourth.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
You may as well be complaining that Sundiata Gaines is not an intimidator in the paint.
When you watch this team in person.....I mean...I don't know anymore...
Only caveat was the fine english chick sitting in front of me, kept finding reasons to turn around and chit chat...then Hedo banked in a 3, and Andersen wouldn't stop shooting & hitting. The day was done.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Of course, it's always Fields. Not our other players not rotating, not our defensive scheme as a whole, not that he did get out and contest several of those shots but simply got scored over by a good shot. Oh no, Fields is the devil!
Fields is just horrible, i cant stand to even watch him anymore
Melo looked tired in the 4th, could it be because Stoudemire was in foul trouble and didnt play much through the 1st 3 quarters?
Job well done by Jeffries, but why didnt Bibby play/shoot more? smh @ Antoni
but they dont know how to use it.
Smokes.....was 100% RIGHT.
Once u know the type of players u have, u use your players in a "System" to their best talents.
What part of....the Knicks dont have an offensive-system, or a defensive system....that u dont understand?
Landry Fields is a "Team-Ball" player....on both sides of the court.
Fields & Douglas have a high raw potential for the game, but the two players
has not been develope into NBA form being under a clueless headcoach with
no perception about defense, or halfcourt-offense, or how to use BIGMEN on
either side of the court. Dantoni is 100 times worst than Isiah.
What type of B.Ball the Knicks been playing is far from being "Team-Ball".
u and commentators can label or call the Knicks type of performance
"Isolation-plays" (only looking at the offense), but I call it bullshuut on both
sides of the court.

"A lot of these people venture into these really, really, hairy situations," said Dickie Chang, who is a local producer and director.
Chang's been working with local emergency personnel and island leaders to produce an educational video.
On Kauai, it as already become an all-out effort to keep island visitors safe.
In the past year, private donations have paid for jet skis, ATVs for rescues over long stretches of beach and nearly 200 rescue tubes posted on a number of Kauai's beaches.
"Everybody's doing a great great job," said Chang.
Chang said the island's rotary club, raised some $40,000 for a new ocean safety video that will soon start playing at the Lihue Airport baggage claim.
Experts said tourist behaviors have changed, especially in recent years.
"From ecotourism to experiential tourism, people really want to get out there and experience the islands now. The difficulty is what may have been a great experience on Monday may be a deadly experience on Monday afternoon," said Ocean Safety Honolulu Director Jim Howe.
Experts agree more visitors are getting information from social media, blogs, or staying at vacation rentals, where tips ocean safety are scarce.
"What happens on Kauai impacts the whole state," said Life Bridge's Gina Kaulukukui, who consoles the families of drowning victims.
She said it has become everyone's responsibility to inform visitors on how to stay safe.
"It's not deterring our visitors from coming here. What's going to deter them from coming here is if they come here and drown," she said.
"You know they all have their own lives, but they are dedicated to public safety and nobody wants to quit. Nobody wants to give up," said Chang.
Kauai county is considering producing a video to educate residents on how to give helpful information to visitors.
A Hawaiian Airlines spokesperson also said they used to run an ocean safety video on fights and would consider doing so again.

Isleta Eagle Golf Course â Lakes and Mesa
Albuquerque, New Mexico
June 1-4, 2004
Blumenherst defends title at AJGA Southwestern Junior
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.â Jeffrey Edelman came out on top after a sudden-death playoff to pick up the Boys Division title at the AJGA Southwestern Junior. Both Edelman and Zen Brown finished the tournament with 6-under-par 210s. Edelman used a par to claim the title on the fourth playoff hole. With a three-day total of 4-under-par 212, Amanda Blumenherst picked up the Girls Division title for the second consecutive year.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the AJGA Southwestern Junior featured 99 players from 17 states, including 18 New Mexico natives. The tournament, being played for the 20th time, was held for the fifth year at Isleta Eagle Golf Course, in Albuquerque, N.M.
Edelman, 16, of Southlake, Texas, earned his first AJGA win after he finished the final round at three-under-par 69. Edelman carded four birdies with only one bogey on No. 16.
âIt feels pretty good to come out on top,â Edelman said. âI hit it pretty good today. I knew I had to play well because I was four behind.â
Edelman used his experience from the past two rounds to work to his advantage.
âI played consistent all three rounds,â he said. âI played the same every day except I made more putts as the rounds went on. My goal was to shoot three rounds under par and I accomplished it.â Edelman finished with rounds of 71-70-69.
Zen Brown, 16, of Arvada, Colo., tied for first in the final round, but bogeyed the fourth playoff hole to finish in second. Cornelius Carroll, 17, of Windermere, Fla., Steve Saunders, 17, of Albuquerque, N.M., and Tom Glissmeyer, 17, of Colorado Springs, Colo., all finished one stroke behind Edelman with 5-under-par 211s.
Blumenherst, 17, of Scottsdale, Ariz., picked up her seventh career AJGA title by winning the AJGA Southwestern Junior for the second year.
âItâs very exciting to come as a defending champion and take the trophy home,â she said. âI hit the ball very well all three rounds. My driver, irons and fairway woods were all very good and my putting came back on the back nine in this round.â
Blumenherst said sheâs very proud of the way the tournament turned out for her. She carded three birdies in the final round.
âOn the back side, I putted very well. I made every putt within 10 feet,â she said. âI shot 33 on the backside.â
After claiming the title for the second time, Blumenherst knows how to stay on top.
âThe most important thing is to always play my game and play the golf course,â she said. âI take it one shot, one hole at a time and I donât think about the competition.â
Coming in behind Blumenherst with a three-day total of 222 is Kristin Ingram, 17, of Pasadena, Calif. Behind Ingram with a tournament total 223 is Jane Rah, 13, of Torrance, Calif.

Decided to try Campsite 18 instead of 24
Well After an envenfull trip for nashville, Bumber t0 bumber traffic from west nashville To Mt julet, No key to the gate to the company chalet had to hike abou 1/2 mile up hill to the chalet at 11:00pm. Campsite 24 closed due to bear activity, what to do. Stopped at the vistors center the Lady with backcounrty check in suggested site 18. Thought middle prong should have OK water because of the storms. Headed over to LRO to pick up my windwalker chest pack and try to fine some cheap wading sandales for Gaintfish, no luck and I decided not ot spend the extra money on a new pair of boots for him (which cost me later on).
Hiked in from the Bote mountian side. Great campsite the river looked fine.
As we fished that evening I started noticed the moss on the rocks was about 12-16" from the water. Not fine! Tough fishing I caught one creek chub and one Rainbow on a red copper john. We tried again the next morning after a cold night i figured they would really come alive. Couldn't get them to hit any mymth, But missed several on dry flies. The water was too tech for Gaintfish so we decided to come on out and fish little river. But I am planning on returning when there is more water.
I could tell Gaintfish had enough hiking so we stoped along side the road before the Elkmont turn off (better known to some as the place of the pamper, still in the same place after 2 months. Again I mised several on A yellow pa.
Got a late start Sunday morning and hiked up above Treemont about 2 mile. Now I am going to pay for not buying Gaintfish a new pair of boots Meet morgan and hiked with him a little ways and found a nice pool for gaintfish to try. He sneaked down to the edge and made a rough but wrokable cast and mmorgan and i both saw a trout take his cooperjohn but alas too much slack. about that time Johnny Redneck ( sorry I am Still a p..... over this) with a spinning rod with what looked like red Salmon eggs came up the trail entered and climbed on the rock above the pool Gaitfish was fishing and started casting in the same pool. With in inches of where Gaintfish was working. It takes all kinds! Well believe it or not we watched a least four more takes on the cooperjohn but he just couldn't keep the slack out. We all know how this feels.
I told him to come on out and meet at the next pool. I notced he was standing in the middle of the trail. Whats Wrong? I think we have a problem. What. My feet are killing me. Can you go a little farther? Yea. I then noticed that we was in a lot of pain. Size 8-1/2 in my size 11 sandals that I had straped as tight as I could. so we traded shoes, a little better but not much. It is my fault, They seemed tight enough. I hate buying him wadding boots that he grows out of in 6 months. Hiked out with Mmorgan and headed straight to lro and bought him a pair of Chota. (thanks Danial).
Had a great time spending the weekend with my son, very proud of how tough he was. Been in poor fitting shoes with blisters myself and he impressed me with how litte he complained. He thinks I am slaming him online because I wouldn't let him read over my shoulder. But I really am Proud of him.
Nice to have shared the river with both of you guys today. Had alot of fun. I still cant believe that guy walked down and was literally fishing ontop of Giantfish.
I did drive over to Abams today and driving through the loop can really test your nerve with other people. Sometimes I felt like bump drafting a few people out of my way. But the coolest thing happened once I got to Abrams. I was fishing my way down from the trailhead when I looked up and there was a doe standing on the edge of the creek trail side. I thought surely she sees me and will then bolt back up the ridge or across the creek. Instead she just walked strait into the river and began eating the moss of the rocks. She was so close that I could lay my fly down between her legs. At that moment I had concluded a great day of fishing; brought over a dozen fish to hand both above Tremont and at Abrams, met some new people, and having that deer share the water with me was just absolutely amazing.
I promise to let you know how my camping trip for next weekend is planning out. I am trying to work out a few more campsite options. I appreciate all the suggestions you gave me today.

Nothing worse than blisters, with the possible exception of a poacher. It probably wouldn't be the smart thing to do, but I would be having some words with Mr Baitdunker. I haven't seen anyone actually in the act of doing anything like that in the park, but I have seen the remnants of bait rigs, snagged in the same tree as my fly.
I wonder if there is some sort of phone number that can reach a ranger in a hurry in a situation like that - of course, most cell phone coverage is spotty at best in the mountains.
Mmorgan asked I thought we should say something. I am in the mountians to relax and I can tend to get more than a little hot headed (ask Gaintfish). So I tend to just let people be Stupid so it doesn't turn into a big conflict. I will try to be polite, like when an adult is fishing the childrens stream in Gatlinburg, and warn them that breaking the law can lead to a large fine. I have mentioned to bait fishermen that fishing with bait in the park can lead to a large fine.
Well, it's probably smart not to say anything - it's just like driving in traffic, you never know what the guy might be packing. On the other hand, just reading about what happened to your son has me boiling mad...it's bad enough bait fishing, but to horn in on someone's area is rude to boot.
Yea I was angry, but I couldn't tell if I had one or not. I did have a fish one, i got it out of the water and coming towrdsme, when is jumps back into the water! My dad didn't see that one. I back up the fact that 18 is a nice campsite, except I had to walk acros the river to get the bear cables. I did have fun, and went to LRo 3 times, waiting for another shirt to get in stock. My blisters are healing, they did hurt pretty bad, but I wnted to fish more, so I fished once more, cuz all the other holes my dad picked were hard to get to.
MMorgan, that thing with the deer sounds neat, but did it scare the fish??
My Motto: Nature cannot beat Man, but Man cannot beat nature.
The deer was in very shallow water so I dont think that it messed up things too bad. I didnt care if I caught another fish in that stretch of water with that deer standing so close to me. I hope your feet are feeling better and next time we should use your dad's bear spray to run those baitfishers off, I bet that would be a pretty funny thing to watch too. Nice meeting you.

Gov. Hickenlooper signs open records bill
House bill 1193, sponsored by Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins, and Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, limits the hourly fee for research and record retrieval under the Colorado Open Records Act to a maximum of $30. The bill also requires the first hour of fulfilling a records request to be free.
The records act is the state law that makes most state government records available to the public. The measure follows an investigation by Denver channel 7NEWS into excessive fees charged by local governments for public records.
The bill also requires governments to post policies and fee rates online.
The measure has a "minimal" financial impact on state revenue and spending, according to bill's fiscal note.

Stoke The Embers1 of 19
By Woman's Day
Contrary to popular belief, getting older does not signal the end of your love life. As a 2007 survey from the University of Chicago discovered, most people between the ages of 57 and 85 think sex is important. Even if your desire has gone MIA, it may just be a matter of knowing where to look. Read on for solutions to some of the most common sexual problems.
The Problem2 of 19
You're Always Tired. When it comes to sex, exhaustion can be a major mood-killer. A recent survey found that 41 percent of married women would choose an extra hour of sleep over hanky panky with their hubby. As we hit midlife, a screaming baby, work stress, fluctuating hormones and hot flashes can all make shut-eye harder to come by.
The Solution3 of 19
If you find yourself dragging through the day, then waiting until bedtime to have sex almost guarantees no nookie, says certified sex therapist Suki Hanfling. Instead, choose a time when you're more awake, such as in the morning or on the weekend after a nap.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Secrets of Sexually-Satisfied Couples
The Problem4 of 19
Sex Isn't Enjoyable. As women enter into perimenopause, they may have a tough time getting or staying lubricated. This can make sex less enjoyable or even painful. According to Stacy Tessler-Lindau, M.D., director of the University of Chicago's Program in Integrative Sexual Medicine, this is one of the most common sexual concerns for women over 40.
The Solution5 of 19
Luckily, the lubrication issue is very treatable, and estrogen, in the form of hormone replacement therapy, is effective. If that's not an option, says Tessler-Lindau, then don't be afraid to experiment with silicone- or water-based lubricants. Regular sex or masturbation may also help keep things supple and moist.
The Problem6 of 19
Your Needs Aren't Being Met. Of course, the sex has to be good for you to crave it. If it's not fulfilling, then why would you go back for more? "The mistake people make is believing that what turned them on when they first met is still accurate. How our bodies need to be stimulated changes with time," Weiner-Davis explains.
The Solution7 of 19
Good sex requires ongoing conversations about what turns each of you on. That means getting in touch with your own needs. "There's no way you can coach your partner if you don't know [what you want] yourself," she adds.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Lessons from Marriage Studies
The Problem8 of 19
You've Written Off Sex. Don't assume that your desire is going to take a nosedive as you get older. Though physical changes in midlife can take the sizzle out of some people's love life, a study from the University of Sheffield found that other factors, like stress or relationship issues, have a greater impact on women's sexual behavior during menopause than biological changes like decreased hormone levels do.
The Solution9 of 19
By assuming a lackluster libido is a natural part of aging, women become less likely to do anything about it. Instead, ask yourself what in your life is out of sync and start there, recommends Hanfling.
ON WOMAN'S DAY: Surprising Facts About Orgasms
The Problem10 of 19
You Don't Feel Sexy. In a Penn State survey of women between the ages of 35 and 55, 21 percent could not name one body part of theirs that they found attractive. The less appealing a woman felt, the more likely she was to report a decline in sexual desire or activity during the past 10 years.
The Solution11 of 19
The quickest way to feel better about yourself? Exercise regularly—and not just to get rid of love handles. Physical activity increases feel-good chemicals in the brain, lowers stress and anxiety and boosts self-esteem. And this, in turn, can lead to a healthier sexual appetite, says Weiner-Davis.
The Problem12 of 19
Your Desire Ebbs. The Penn State survey also found that even women who had lost their desire said that when they did have sex, they enjoyed it. So why don't they do it more often? According to Hanfling and Weiner-Davis, women's desire does not always come before sex. While women can have strong sexual urges, they usually need to be aroused before they're in the mood for sex—especially as they get older.
The Solution13 of 19
This issue can be tricky for couples who have fallen into a rut, explains Hanfling, because a woman also has to feel like she can say no if, after giving things a go, she's still not in the mood. Her advice is this: Be open to each other's advances, and communicate, in a loving way, what feels good.
The Problem14 of 19
The Fireworks Are Gone. The newness of a relationship can make you want to rip each other's clothes off. Fast-forward 10 or more years and that sense of novelty and adventure wears off. But just because you don't feel sparks at the mere mention of disrobing doesn't mean your mojo has packed up and left.
The Solution15 of 19
According to Weiner-Davis, our desire changes as we get older, and we have a hard time recognizing it in its new, often subtler, form. "What I tell people is, 'Forget the fireworks. Are there ever times when you feel embers?' A lot of people say yes, but they let it pass. I suggest that when they feel embers, don't let it pass, and really act on it."
The Problem16 of 19
You're Not Accounting for Health. Your age is not the best predictor of a robust sex life, says Tessler-Lindau. Rather, it's your overall health that more accurately determines how much satisfaction you get between the sheets.
The Solution17 of 19
By doing everything you can to stay healthy now—like exercising regularly, eating a heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking—you may be able to stave off sexual problems as you get older, she says.
The Problem18 of 19
Your Man Has Issues. The chance of erectile dysfunction (ED)—an inability to achieve or maintain an erection—increases with age: Thirty-nine percent of 40-year-olds and 65 percent of 65-year-olds report at least occasional erection issues. ED can signal serious health problems, like heart disease or diabetes, so consult a doctor to rule them out.
The Solution19 of 19
What starts as a physiological problem can turn into an emotional one, says Hanfling. A man might develop performance anxiety and avoid having sex. ED may come from the same emotional roadblocks that plague women. "We tend to think that a man can tune out everything when he's having sex, but that's just not true," says Weiner-Davis. Her recommendation? Stop criticizing. He needs to be praised and feel supported, just like you do.

August 7, 2013 —
TOWN OF THOMPSON, NY — Love of a family property and the history entwined with it led two brothers to write a book and to place a conservation easement on 26 acres of land that have been owned by Henry and Gordon MacAdam's family since 1874.
After reading a story about another landowner's decision to protect their property with an easement, Gordon began looking into possibilities for his 26 acres, which are part of a larger parcel of land owned by the family in the Town of Thompson.
"It's a small property, but it means a lot to us," said Gordon. "Our mother loved it, and we recognize it as being unique, in that it has belonged to our family for so many years, and will continue to be there for our children and grandchildren."
In addition, the forested block lies north of the 5,500-acre Neversink River Unique Area. Along with another nearby property protected by the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, it will help to begin the building of a greenway that adds to the scenic views and supports the protection and environmental health of the region for human and wildlife populations.
Meanwhile, Henry and Gordon began researching their family's history and writing a book, which will soon be released. For the past two-and-a-half years, the brothers have collected many photographs and diligently sought information to create a book, "Family Remembrances," which will be given to all family members.
In addition to maps and photos depicting the area during the period of the late 1800s and early 1900s, the book contains documentation of birth and death certificates, marital and military records, farm and population censuses and more.
The process of compiling the book brought the brothers even closer together as they worked to connect dots and gain a deeper understanding of their family property in its historical and social context over time and in relation to the surrounding area.
The brothers grew up on the property, which their mother inherited from their grandfather and namesake, Henry Gordon Dougherty (1863-1937).
Henry and Gordon's property was protected with assistance from the New York Environmental Protection Fund and the New York State Conservation Partnership Program, administered by the Land Trust Alliance in coordination with the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
For those with an interest in local history, the book will also be available to the public. (Contact Gordon at 845/665-1899 for more information).
The Delaware Highlands Conservancy, based in Hawley, PA and Bethel, protects our natural heritage and quality of life in partnership with the landowners and communities of the Upper Delaware River region. To date, the Conservancy has protected more than 14,000 acres of healthy lands and clean waters in New York and Pennsylvania.
To learn how make a donation in support of the Delaware Highlands Conservancy's work, volunteering at the office or an event, or protecting your own land, call 570/226-3164, 845/583-1010, or email email@example.com [1], or visit www.DelawareHighlands.org [2].

More History
In 1846, following Cahawba and Tuscaloosa,
Montgomery became Alabama's capital city. The first
capitol building, a handsome Greek Revival structure
designed by Philadelphia architect Stephen Button,
was built in 1847. In 1849 the building burned.
Between 1850-51, the present capitol building, also
in the Greek Revival style, was constructed on the
same site. A rear wing was added in 1885 and the two
side wings between 1906 and 1912. A rear extension
with a neoclassical portico similar to the original
west front portico was completed in 1992.
The Alabama State Capitol was designated a National
Historic Landmark in 1962.
Not only is the Alabama State Capitol a revered symbol
to thousands of Alabamians but a significant
monument in American history.
A major effort to rehabilitate the Capitol began in
the 1970s. While most of this work was finished in
1992, efforts to restore and enhance the historical
character of the building are ongoing by the Alabama
Historical Commission.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(112)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(119)
Cheats and Walkthroughs(116)
Footage from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 leaked onto the Internet yesterday, and if you thought the lack of dedicated PC servers were the big controversy in regards to this game, you're in for a huge surprise. The leaked gameplay footage reveals that you'll be able to play part of the game as a terrorist.
Update: The footage has been pulled from CNN's iReport site as well.
Heavy spoilers ahead, obviously. The footage has since been pulled from YouTube,
but part of it is still up on CNN's iReport site. In the level (reportedly the beginning of the game), the player is with a group of men who murder innocent civilians in an airport. The level seems to consist primarily of capping innocent people, including the clearly injured who are trying in vain to hobble away as you shoot them in the back. This is where CNN's video ends. Based on other internet reports, after the airport killing spree, the group then exit to the tarmac where they pass a pile of dead bodies, and shoot some cops. Eventually, the main terrorist, Makarov, murders the player with a shot to the head. It's strong stuff.
When asked if the footage would be in the game, Activision released a statement to the press, saying:
"Yes it is. The scene establishes the depth of evil and the cold bloodedness of a rogue Russian villain and his unit. By establishing that evil, it adds to the urgency of the player's mission to stop them.
"Players have the option of skipping over the scene. At the beginning of the game, there are two 'checkpoints' where the player is advised that some people may find an upcoming segment disturbing. These checkpoints can't be disabled.
"Modern Warfare 2 is a fantasy action game designed for intense, realistic game play that mirrors real life conflicts, much like epic, action movies. It is appropriately rated 18 for violent scenes, which means it is intended for those who are 18 and older."
I predict an uproar from certain members of the excitable media. I predict semi-accurate headlines will proclaim: "New Game Has Players Take The Role of Terrorists!" while ignoring the fact that this is, essentially, a cut-scene where you control a character, and the scene itself doesn't glamorize terrorism: After all, you are betrayed by your own leader, who is so evil, he shoots his own men.
We don't really know the context of the level either: Perhaps the player is infiltrating the terrorist group and has to participate or blow his cover. Maybe the main character is under the influence of mind-altering drugs. Maybe it's a dream sequence. But no matter what utility it might serve in Modern Warfare 2's plot, it's a disturbing thing to watch; I can't imagine how disturbing it would be to play. While I'm all for artistic freedom in games, even I gotta shake my head a little at how far this goes.
Although Modern Warfare 2 is scheduled for a November 10th release, You have to wonder whether this particular level will end up in the finished game. I give it a 50/50 shot, honestly, depending upon the intensity of the controversy surrounding this leaked footage.

November 20, 2013 —
The days before the recent elections were filled with interesting, heartfelt, and vociferous debates among my circles of online friends and correspondents—not about any of the candidates, mind you, or any of the particular issues involved, but rather about whether or not we should even bother to vote.
I won't rehash the arguments back and forth; you've heard them all before. It certainly seems that many people have given up on the enterprise; we only had 21% turnout of registered voters here in Wayne County, and Pike County's response was even more dismal. (In Sullivan County, NY this statistic will not be available for a few weeks, until after the county's board of elections certifies the results.) To be sure, most of the races had been decided back in the primaries, but still….
My viewpoint is that even if we don't like any of the choices being offered to us, we should still vote. The "system" writes off nonparticipation as apathy, not anger, but it does still allow us the luxury of write-ins. (Indeed, some write-in candidates have won seats on Honesdale's Borough Council.)
In the midst of all the discussion, someone pointed me to a useful resource: a documentary series you can find on YouTube, entitled "Philosophy: A Guide to Happiness," hosted by philosopher Alain de Botton. The first episode, a lovely little gem called "Socrates on Self-Confidence" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVA8jX9KQcE [2], among other places), takes us back to the roots of our democracy, in ancient Athens, and introduces us to the funny-looking little guy who hung out at the agora and had some serious doubts about group decision-making processes.
Human beings, after all, are easily misled—by emotional appeals, by the auras of authority or celebrity, or even by their own sense of self-importance. All these things, Socrates reasoned, distort their decision-making ability, and that distortion is amplified when we get together in large groups. "Socrates," says de Botton, "would have disagreed violently with… the whole approach that the will of the majority should decide an issue."
I suspect that most people who stayed at home on Election Day were not engaging in Socratic analysis of the process. But De Botton also talks about Socrates' approach to individual reasoning, and that brings in Radiolab.
If memory serves, it was just a few days after the election that WJFF rebroadcast an early Radiolab episode (www.radiolab.org/story/91500-emergence/ [3]) about the property of "emergence," which describes how groups of seemingly independent and unconnected agents can sometimes arrive at surprisingly correct answers.
I'd like to suggest that Socrates looked at things—well, not in a wrong way, exactly, but, let's say—in an incomplete way. An individual may have many different wants and desires, but still we are able to construct logical arguments and come to more or less rational decisions despite being pulled in many different directions. Similarly, the "body politic" can learn how to be aware of, and account for, the factors that distort collective thinking. Just as we can each learn (hopefully) from our individual mistakes, so too can we compile a kind of wisdom en masse.
Indeed, we might have been doing this all along. I promulgate an idea I call "VOTE OTHER" (see voteotherproject.wordpress.com) as a way to show our dissatisfaction with the existing system—but guess who was the last President to actually recieve more votes than the number of voters who stayed home and refrained from voting?
Prepare to be surprised when you check out the answer at www.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/04/1250949/-Who-Was-the-Last-President-to... [4].
We've been revolting all along. The problem is simple: we can't hear ourselves think.

hi ladies
i hope this isn't TMI; i know that with my last lo i would have tried anything so i thought i would throw it out there.
so lo is 7 mos and i pump three days a week at work. with last lo and this one too my let down started failing me. first it took longer and longer and then finally just kaput. with last lo i couldnt find anything that helped and gave up when she was only 6 mos . but now...
so someone mentioned that prior to pumping they use their fingernail to gently prick their nipple and then they let down. that didn't work for me but i did find that if i use all my fingers/thumbs on both nipples and gently pull out quickly (sort of like i was trying to get lint off or something) in UNDER A MINUTE i start to let down. best of all, i pump all of the first let down and then wait a couple of minutes and am able to DO IT AGAIN!!! i am able to get 4-5 oz each session which was UNHEARD of last time!
i wanted to share this in case anyone out there is where i was last go 'round. hope you are all well (and that i described it right )
