Hi! I just found these boards and I have a question. I have an eight-week-old son who is EBF. I start back to school tomorrow and will need to pump seven times a week while I am away from him. Currently, I am pumping the amount that he drinks if I am away (3 ounces). Should I keep pumping the amount or should I pump for a certain number of minutes?
Also, I want to work in a pump session to build up a freezer stash. I plan to work this in after he nurses in the morning. I currently feed off of just one breast per feeding. When I pump, should I pump one breast or both? Also, do I pump a certain number of minutes or just enough for a bottle? Thanks so much for the help!!

We provide extraordinary care for fine
garments & household textiles
Bespoke runs through the veins of Will Boehlke,
style consultant, speaker and author of the widely followed,
award-winning blog, A Suitable Wardrobe.
On March 18, 2009, Will addressed the issue of the care and
feeding of fine garments in a post titled Maintenance: Clothing Cleaners.
Here's what he had to say ...
"There are 26,000 clothing cleaners in the United States. Most
of them will quickly destroy bespoke clothing.
Clothes cleaning is a business driven by the desire to turn
garments around quickly, and at the lowest possible cost.
Unfortunately, those objectives are at odds with quality cleaning
of bespoke clothing where, for example, the best way to remove soil
from a shirt is to soak it. Soaking and same day service are
completely incompatible.
In San Francisco we have a high profile cleaner that for many
years was voted best in the Bay area. Prices are very high, and
clothing is returned in more packaging than it had when it was new.
And yet, shirts are returned with dirt ground into the cuffs and
jacket lapels pressed so that the collar no longer sits properly.
Fortunately there are alternatives.
Serious clothing requires a serious commitment to
clothing care. I've written in the past that San Francisco men once
sent their laundry by clipper ship to China to have it hand cleaned
and returned. And as recently as twenty years ago the now defunct
haberdasher Sulka offered a laundry by mail service for bespoke
Laundry by mail is still a viable alternative but men in
eighteen cities in Australia and North America may not need to go
that far. The members of Leading Cleaners Internationale meet the
cleaning industry's only rigorous standards for quality. Each of
them treats every garment as if it is a museum-quality textile.
And for those of us who don't live in one of those eighteen
locations but do live in North America, there is RAVE
FabriCARE's clean by mail service. I have only used the service
for shirts but the results were outstanding.
There are 26,000 clothing cleaners in the United States. A few
of them actually know how to treat clothing properly."
Addendum to this post from RAVE: Will uses our services for dry
cleaning, sponge and press, and shirt laundry.

Topic: Body Language (11/25/10)
TITLE: The Girl in the Back Row
By Yvonne Blake
I had never seen her at summer day camp before. Most of the kids knew each other from school or church. They squished together in clusters � forming cliques and excluding others � like the girl in the back row � the one with her fingers in her ears and the scowl on her face.
Her bangs were too long. Occasionally, she tossed them out of her eyes � until someone spoke to her. One of the leaders sat next to her. She scooted to the other end of the pew and hid behind her curtain of hair.
Her eyes met mine as I opened my missionary book, and I smiled at her. Her eyelids narrowed, and she pretended to be interested in something outside. I tried to focus on the story I was telling, but I continued to watch the girl in the back row.
�Since there are new kids here today, can anyone tell me where we left little Tifam?�
Fingers wiggled like a bed of sea anemone. I chose one. �There was an earthquake. Tifam�s mother hurt her foot, and they had to go the mission house.�
I showed the page of Tifam and her mother at the mission house. The girl in the back row stood to see the picture better, with her fingers still in her ears. I sent up a quick prayer. Lord, give me the words to reach into the heart of this girl.
�Tifam was frightened. What would her Papa say? He was the witch doctor. He might put a curse on them.�
The girl�s elbows sagged. Soon her hands dropped to her side.
�Tifam clutched the magic charm around her neck. The spirits would keep her safe. Where was her mother�s charm? ��
Now she was sitting on the edge of the pew. I caught her eye, and she slumped backwards and ducked behind her hair again.
�The missionary opened her book. Tifam didn�t want to listen. She covered her ears and whispered, �Lies! Lies! Lies!� Tifam could still hear the missionary�s words. �God loves you. He loved you so much that He died for you.� The missionary read, �For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.� Tifam had never heard of a God that loved her.�
I turned the page, and the girl leaned forward to see the picture again.
�Tifam�s mother said, �I�ve stolen and lied and hated others. Why would this God love me?� The missionary said, �God loves you and wants to forgive you.� �
I looked at the rows of faces. �We have all sinned � every one of us � me, too. We have disobeyed our parents. We have told lies. We have gotten angry. We have stolen things. All of those are sins, and God hates sin. He is holy and can�t let any sin in heaven�. But he loves us and wants us to be in heaven with Him.�
I saw her rest her forehead on her arm. Lord, speak through me.
�God wants us to go to heaven, so he sent His Son, Jesus, to earth. Many people did not like Him. Some arrested Him and beat Him. They nailed Him on a cross to die.�
I paused, and there was silence. The girl in the back looked up for a second. Her eyes were wide and sad.
�Jesus wanted to die, because He loved us. The punishment for sin is death. He wanted to die for all our sins, so we could go to heaven. He died for my sins, and He died for your sins.� I pointed to myself, to a few of the children, and to the girl in the back row. She looked at me. There were tears.
�God can forgive your sins, too. Bow your heads. Pray with me. �Lord, I�m sorry for my sins��
As the director announced the team points, I walked past the girl in the back row. She looked up with tears still in her eyes and smiled.

Star Trek, one of the world's most popular science fiction series, is no stranger to the world of video games. In fact, the Star Trek-based (but not official) Netrek was considered to be the first internet team game. This new Star Trek game, with no title after it like Star Trek: Rise of the Alien Bad Guys, is based on the recent J.J. Abrams reboot of the film franchise, and features the likenesses of Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock. It's set after the first film, and offers gamers the ability to co-op through the game as Kirk and Spock for the first time.
The game is being developed by Digital Extremes, the company behind BioShock 2, Dark Sector, and The Darkness 2, and is being written by Marianne Kramczyk, the BAFTA award-winning author of the God of War series. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the writing team on the film, and Damon Lindelof are all serving as collaborators as well, in conjunction with Bad Robot. Game Director Steve Sinclair pointed out that since they're working with the original film team, that gives them inside access to assets. "Like one day, this encrypted hard drive just showed up at our offices, and it had all of the specs, blueprints, photos, CGI, and data on the Enterprise. So we're using the exact same hero ship that's in the movie in our game."
The game is a standalone title, in the gap between the first film and the next film (which we weren't given any details on), and in the build we saw there was stand-in audio for Spock and Kirk, and we hope they'll be able to use audio from the actual actors in the game when it ships. They've been working on the game for a year and a half, and it will be at least another year before the game comes out. What that really means is that they have a lot of time to work on this, which isn't the case for most movie or franchise tie-ins. Could Star Trek shed the bad video game film adaptation stigma? Based on what we were shown, it sure looks like it.
So what did we see? With gameplay presented on two separate screens to highlight the co-op nature of the title, Kirk and Spock are returning to the Enterprise after being away in a shuttlecraft, and off in the distance you can see the ship held in place by ribbons of energy. They can't approach the ship directly via the shuttle, so they perform a space jump using a LSPUs - Life Support Propulsion Units - in a sort of Thunderball / James Bond style. They have to navigate through a field of depth charges, and then approach the ship through one of the docking hatches. As they land, Spock touches down gracefully, while Kirk skids to a crash landing into a pile of crates. Once onboard, it's clear that something is very wrong. The crew is missing, and the ship has gone into command lockout.
Using their Tricorders to override the lockout, Kirk and Spock board the ship, which seems to be completely deserted. Making their way through the corridors, they come across several downed redshirts, who never fare well in a Trek outing. Proving that a Tricorder would really come in handy, they also use them to check out corpses for clues. Doing so, they find out that the bodies contain a very strong toxin. After they receive a scratchy distress call from an Enterprise crew member coming from the shuttle bay, they board a nearby turbolift and head off in search of the signal.
Once in the shuttle bay, which is rife with Abrams-esque lens flares, our two heroes quickly come under fire. Underscoring the play differences in the game between Kirk and Spock, Kirk is armed with a Captain's Only phaser. It's a beefier version of the standard issue sidewarm, and can be upgraded through gained experience in the game. Case in point, Kirk can add an extremely sweet "Wrath of Khan" vaporize setting to his phaser, which wipes enemies from existence. You'll also obtain different abilities via light RPG elements, like an advanced Vulcan shield that protects you somewhat and recharges over time, much like Master Chief's shield.
In the shuttle bay, Kirk takes fire from one of the enemies, and the deadly toxin starts working its way through his system. He crawls to cover, and Spock heads over to assist, dragging him towards sick bay. The very nifty co-op element here is that while Kirk is being dragged, Spock can't shoot. So, Kirk has to provide covering fire while they make their escape. Once in sick bay, and depending on how many redshirts you investigated, Spock has to identify the toxin and neutralize it. The more data you collected earlier, the quicker this will go. But while he's doing this, sick bay is being overrun, and you again have to provide cover from your bed. No rest for the sick.
While the game seems like it will primarily be an action shooter, both Kirk and Spock have different styles of play, which is highlighted throughout the game. Spock is more calculating and logical in his decisions, while Kirk is brash and headstrong, often charging into a situation without thinking things through. That's not to say that Spock resists Kirk's decisions, but he'll often quip about how things are going, based on his shipmate's actions.
There's an entire end sequence to the demo we were shown, but we're not allowed to talk about it yet. Suffice it to say, the game looks to be as action-packed as the last film, and with Pine and Quinto in the game, and Sinclair promising us that we'll see even more familiar faces, Star Trek is shaping up to set phasers on fun.

The following invention relates generally to tables conventionally found on passenger airlines, trains, buses boarding areas and the like suitably formed to have disposed thereon food, comestibles, drinks etc., which when modified as is to be disclosed hereinafter incorporate a video game or games integral therewith.
It is common knowledge that video games are at the forefront of the coin operated amusement industry in society today. Additionally, society's exposure to computers has provided the layman with the ability to access information and engage upon certain educative and entertainment excercises heretofore unattainable by conventional means. It is reasonably safe to say that the average citizen of today has, through exposure to video devices, come to accept them as necessary items.
The following citations reflect the state-of-the-art of which applicant is aware, insofar as they appear to be germane to the process at hand.
U.S. Pat. No. 614,722--J. L. Isaacs--Nov. 22, 1898
U.S. Pat. No. 3,940,136--R. R. Runte--Feb. 24, 1876
U.S. Pat. No. 4,156,921--F. W. Wenninger et al.--May 29, 1979
U.S. Pat. No. 4,312,507--B. E. Smith et al--Jan. 26, 1982
The patent to Smith et al. teaches the use of a portable lighted study or game tray which has a portion which pivots from a first to a second position. A cover 15 is provided which exposes a game playing area or the like, the cover is adapted to protect the game indicia such as a checkerboard shown in FIG. 2.
The patent to Runte teaches the use of an amusement device which includes a support that allows the surface of the amusement device to be pivoted from a first operative position to second servicing position to allow access to the interior portion of the device itself.
The patent to Isaacs shows a very old form of game or work table having a foldable lid, and the remaining citation shows the state-of-the-art further.
The instant application is distinguished over the known prior art in that it is hollow and contains a plastic insert to which are attached a plurality of battery operated hand held electronic games and each otherwise secured in its own recessed cubicle.
The invention when in place resembles the replaced table. The inventive device is composed of a lid on the top that seats over a tray (receptacle) on the bottom. Contained within the tray is the plastic insert mentioned above which holds the electronic games.
When the unit is in a locked position the special locking device is not visible and this can readily be seen by an attendant. When the unit is unlocked the special locking device protrudes approximately 1/2-182 of an inch and is readily observable.
As the special lock is closed, the dead bolt part trips a counter and then continues through an opening which is part of a protrusion attached to the lid for a secure fit.
The tripped counter accurately records the number of times the game table is opened and closed and the numbers are readily seen through a plastic viewer.
Between the insert and the inside bottom of the receptable is a spring loaded device that acts as an alarm system if unauthorized persons attempt to remove the games or the insert.
There is a 1/8" foam material affixed to the bottom of the tray to act as a noise reducing factor. Where the game table attaches to the protruding arms of the seat; the table is reinforced on each side by special metal plates of approximately 11/4 by 11/4 by 5/6 inch thickness and designed to replace the rod that existed on the replaced table for support.
The outer part of the table is made of plastic bonded around and affixed to aluminum plating formed into the shape of a tray and a lid with the lid seating around the bottom tray to a depth approximately one-half (1/2) inch and for the particular purpose of inhibiting attempts to tamper with the tray.
When the invention is opened, the lid remains in an upright opened position by means of a series of coiled springs that are attached to the piano hinge--that secures the lid to the bottom of the unit.
Below the piano hinge and halfway to the bottom of the tray are 4 holes of 1/8" diameter equally spaced from each other and are designed to allow the release of fluids in the event of liquid spillage into the unit.
The plastic insert is one unit of molded plastic, easily installed and easily removed and is secured in place by one screw inserted through an opening on each exterior side of the unit and through the outer wall of the plastic insert. The screw head is designed to accept a unique allen wrench size.
The bottom of the plastic insert is channeled to allow the passage of water in the event of spillage and there are 4 holes of 1/4 inch diameter in each game mold separately spaced one inch apart to help reduce the effects of any noise.
Two screws are inserted through the bottom of the plastic into each individual game at a spot not likely to interfere with the operation of the game but will allow the game to be secured.
When the game is open and the lid is in an upright position, the lid is restrained from over opening by two chains of small diameter of approximately 4" in length and attached singly on each side to the lid and the tray at a point equidistant to both and at the rear and bottom of the tray in the area of the piano hinge.
At the slot opening where the locking protrusion of the lid lock penetrates through the plastic insert into the bottomn of the tray to receive the dead bolt; there is a self closing plastic cover that is pushed aside by the protruding lid lock device and completely seals the opening when the lock protrusion is withdrawn.
It is anticipated that the present majority of uses of this invention device will be as a replacement table for all present and existing airplane tables and for other commercial passenger behicles such as buses, trains and cars.
The inventive device is also capable of being mounted on individual stands such as might be found in the waiting room lobbys of buses, trains and planes to provide entertainment and relaxation while waiting for passengers.
The unit is also capable of being used as a portable unit for susch purposess as being taken to the beach or to sporting events, etc.
The invention as structured is intended to accept therewithin a television screen in the lid, visible when opened and controlled by a touch pad type system in the bottom tray.
The unit in the bottom tray will accept cartridges of a variety of games and subjects, educational and informative and of selected advertising.
Long range use of the units will allow a full range and scale of computer activities and interfacing to provide inflight stock market reports, etc.
Accordingly, this invention has as its objective the provision of a video game table for airlines, trains, buses and other vehicles or the like to provide amusement and educative capabilities.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a device as is characterized above which is integrally formed with the tray commonly found in most of these vehicles.
A further object of the invention contemplates providing as characterized above which occupies a minimal amount of space, can be unobtrusively stored when not in use, and can be readily deployed.
A still further object of this invention contemplates providing a device as characterized as above which is durable in construction, easy to use, and lends itself to mass production techniques.
It is still yet another object of the invention to provide a device as characterized above which can perform a multiplicity of functions as directed by the individual user.
It is still yet a further object of this invention to provide an array or plurality of such devices within a single vehicle, all of which are operatively connected to a central control unit for economy.
These and other objects will be made manifest when considering the following detailed specification when taken in conjunction with the appended drawing figures wherein there has been provided a video game table suitable formed and adapted to define the tray commercially found on most passenger airlines, trains, buses and other vehicles which in one form of the invention is integrally formed with the serving tray itself. The table which pivots from a first stored position to an open exposed position includes a game board area either on the screen, or on the exposed portion of the table when opened in combination with a plurality of key means for accessing data or manipulating the video game table as is required.
Other objects and benefits will be made evident when considering the following detailed specification taken in light of the appended drawing figures.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a possible one form of the invention according to the instant application, with a cut-away showing further detail.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a portion of FIG. 1 showing the latch mechanism..
FIG. 3 is a front view of a second possible configuration thereof.
Referring to the drawings now, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various drawing figures, reference numeral 10 is directed to the video display according to the present invention.
As is shown, the video display is adapted to be disposed and nested within a recess R on the back face of a passenger seat P, the recess commonly found on commercial type airlines. A pivotal wing tab W coacts with a recessed surface 12 on an exposed surface 14 of the video display 10 when the video display is in a stored position.
The video display 10 is formed as a table 16 provided with a top surface 18, the exposed bottom surface 14 and a peripheral wall 20 which allows the top surface and exposed bottom surface to rotatably reside in fixed spaced apart relation when opened providing an interior 22.
As is known, conventional type tables have a longitudinal extent greater than its latitude, the latitudinal portion 24 of the peripheral wall having an area 26 defining a necked down portion adapted to receive thereon hinges 28 affixed thereto by screws 30 as is known in the art so that the video display table 16 can pivot from a first position to a second. The hinges 28 are suitably affixed to the recess area R of the rear face of the passenger seat.
As shown in the drawing figures, the top surface 18 is separable from the exposed bottom surface 14 in the following manner. The longitudinal edge wall 32 adjacent the passenger seat recess R is provided with a hinge 34 which allows the top surface 18 to be pivoted away from the exposed bottom surface 14 in the direction of the arrow A. A latch means on the longitudinal edge wall 36 remote from the longitudinal edge wall 32 is provided with latching means 38 to selectively rotate the top surface from the bottom surface thereby exposing the interior 22. More specifically, the recessed surface 12 of the one longitudinal edge wall 36 extends along a portion of the exposed bottom surface 14 thereby providing a cavity 40 which includes a raised surface 42 and a peripheral ledge 44 formed as three walls, so that the wing tab W can be rotated and engage the raised surface 42 for storage. In addition, the peripheral ledge 44 has a central portion 46 provided with a lock means 48 which allows access to the interior of the video display.
More particularly, a lock means 48 is key operated and is adapted to register with a tab member 50 extending downwardly from an interior wall 60 of top surface 18, tab 50 having an aperture 52 adapted to register with a sliding bolt 54 of the lock 48 whereby retraction of the sliding bolt provides clearance by its removal from the aperture 52 to allow the top surface 18 to rotate about the hinge 34 in the direction of the arrow A. A windowed countering means 56 is placed in registry with the sliding bolt so that reciprocation of the bolt indexes the counting means along the arrows B and denotes the number of times the table has been opened so that an accurate accounting for the times the devices has been used can be made manifest not only for placement of battery packs, but also for revenue since it is contemplated that this device be fee oriented. Thus, a counter display is integral with the counter means for this purpose. As shown, the lock means 48 is offset from a center line of the tray so as to provide clearance for the wing tab W's operative manipulation.
It is to be noted, therefore, that the device according to the instant application is intended to simply replace conventional tables that are commonly found on commercial airlines for example, and no inordinate or extraordinary modifications to the existing aircraft structure is required.
Once the video display 10 has been oriented from a stored closed position to an open operative position by rotating the top surface 18 relative to the exposed bottom surface 14, a substantially L shaped structure when viewed from the side is provided. The top surface 18 is tethered to the bottom of surface 14 not only by the hinges 34 which may be spring biased, but is also provided with one and preferably two line tethers 58 which extend from the latitudinal walls 24 to the top surface 18 as shown in the drawings.
It is evident that the top surface has an interior wall 60 which is provided with, in a preferred form, a suitable reinforcement as by metal, fiberglass, or the equivalent, and the downwardly extending locking tab member 50 is integral therewith.
The bottom surface 14 includes the peripheral wall 20 which therefore defines an opened topped drawer type structure 62 that is adapted to removably support the specific video game apparatus attached thereto by means of an insert 64. As is shown in the drawing figures, the insert 64 may comprise a typing pad, or a plurality of games fixedly secured in a partitioned insert by nesting, each game defining a device contemplated to amuse and educate the participant. The insert 64 is provided with an opening 66 having a resilient seal which allows the tab member 50 to pass therethrough and register with the latching means 38 but exclude spilled liquids. The insert 64 itself is removable for maintenance by special allen screws connected to surface 14, replacement of games that are currently in vogue, and for inspection of the interior of the drawer 62.
Preferrably, an area adjacent the lock 48 is provided with an alarm means 68 including a spring biased push button 70 so that when the insert 64 is removed from the drawing 62 the push button is extended and an audible alarm is provided. This would indicate to flight attendants or the like that access to the drawer interior has been effected, and is intended to reduce the incidence of vandalism or the like. The alarm 68 can be of any known type.
The drawer 62 is provided with a plastic outer layer, metal or fiberglass reinforcement as is the top surface, and a foam layer 72 provides shock and sound absorbing properties for the table.
The interior top surface 60 may include a plurality of indicia thereon, as shown in FIG. 1, the indicia can take the form of instructions on how to play the games associated with the device on the bottom surface contained within the drawer 62, or can take the form of FIG. 2.
In this embodiment, a CRT is formed integrally with the interior wall top surface so that in use and in conjunction with the typing pad, or with the games disposed upon the insert section, flexibility can be provided and a large variety of entertainment can be made available.
Further reinforcement means are provided to enhance the structural rigidity of the device and includes a pair of first and second block members 74 adapted to register with the apertures provided on the necked down area 26 of the latitudinal portion 24 of the peripheral wall 20 so that the screws for the hinges 28 have firm support.
It is contemplated that the information capable of being extracted from this device is not limited to the particular module contained within the drawer 62, but can gain access to a larger body of information contained on or accessible from a central processing unit carried on the plane. For example, a plug-in module can be used to patch the device 10 into either the earphone inputs commonly found on most aircraft wherein the signal derived therefrom is acoustical or from an electrical input so that communication with the central CPU is possible for example. Alternatively, the device can be orchestrated so that games can be played between passengers in remote locations, and if desired communication between passengers at remote locations can be effected by use of the video display terminal or CRT with the typing pad. During the course of a journey, passengers can extract information on current news, sports, business, sights to see at future locations, have the ability to make reservations for restaurents, hotels, or cars. Passengers can also extract information on sights to see when arriving at their destination or alternatively can be provided with a travel guide for terrain they are currently viewing while in progress.
Thus, it should be appreciated that the flexibility associated with the structure according to the instant application provides a means by which passengers can be entertained, can access information, and can structure future events may making arrangements. In addition, it is contemplated that this device can be used for on-board work and subsequent linkage with remote locations so that a person performing work can have data transmitted as is desired.
Moreover, having thus described the invention, it should be apparent that numerous structural modifications are contemplated as being a part of this invention as set forth hereinabove and is defined herein below by the claims.

N2K Encoded Music
The son of guitar hero Larry Coryell makes his own mark on this Stateside debut (originally released last year in Japan). And while his singing-guitar playing brother Murali has focused his career on contemporary blues (a la Robert Cray), Julian has decided to go down a smooth jazz path. Given the genre, the music is often soft and simple, melodic and non-threatening, as on "Gay's Flight," "Seryozha's Lament," "The New Duality" and the lightly hip-hop flavored "Darkman." His warm-toned legato phrasing along with certain chromatic statements and intervallic leaps are often a little too close to Metheny for comfort (particularly on the two jazziest offerings, "Mr. Snike" and "Truth") but the kid obviously has a command of the instrument and occasionally shows flashes of his father's fleet-fingered bravado, as on an exhilarating instrumental rendition of Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues."
Although much of this material is geared to EZ-listening audiences, Julian does take some intriguing liberties with Joni Mitchell's "River," Bob Dylan's "All I Really Want To Do" and Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding," a gorgeous, melancholy ballad that was once covered by Chet Baker. I have the feeling that this budding young talent is playing it a little safe on this first outing, just as his father had done on his own radio-friendly offerings in the early '90s. I'm curious to see if Julian pushes the envelope a little bit further on his next project or if he sticks with this more accessible and potentially lucrative formula.

2nd Oregon death row inmate wants execution
A second Oregon death row inmate is challenging the state to carry out its death penalty.
Jason Van Brumwell agrees with fellow inmate Gary Haugen that pursuing appeals is pointless and he should be executed.
The 38-year-old Brumwell was sent to death row in 2007 with Haugen after the two were convicted of a prison killing.
The Oregonian reports Brumwell announced his intentions Wednesday at a hearing in Marion County Circuit Court.
Haugen dropped his appeals in 2011 and said he wanted to be executed. That was blocked by Gov. John Kitzhaber who has said no inmate will be put to death as long as he's governor.
There are 34 men and one woman on Oregon's death row. No inmate has been given a lethal injection since 1997.

One Way To Profit From File Sharing: Advertising To The Community
from the there-are-business-models-out-there dept
In the past, many firms were reluctant to advertise on various file sharing systems for fear of being associated with things like "piracy" or upsetting the entertainment industry. However, perhaps that's beginning to change. TorrentFreak points us to an article about how Wal-Mart ads have been showing up regularly on the Pirate Bay's site. It's unclear from the article if Wal-Mart has any idea where they're advertising, or if it's just the ad agency they hired trying to target ads at the right demographic (much more likely). However, it does highlight the idea that this community is actually a valuable demographic to target -- and that means there are clearly opportunities in working with the community, rather than fighting against them. Advertising may just be one small part of it, but the fact remains that there are other business models that aren't so anti-consumer.

Northwest Colorado
Part of a collaborative study for the adaptive transformation of rowhouses in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood, the rental pod proposal features retrofitted shipping containers stacked vertically to make use of their inherent structural capabilities. Placed next to the existing house to expand livable floor area, the pods provide an entry, bathroom, and kitchen to the upper two floors of the house, catering to growing families and rental users.
An ADA ramp is integrated into the pod structure in order to allow access from the sidewalk to the first floor. This makes the pod a viable option for elderly assisted living in Lawrenceville. This transformation builds upon Lawrenceville's front porch culture. The lowest level pod becomes an open space for outdoor living, accessible via an ADA ramp from the existing kitchen. Renters or other occupants of the upper two floors access their units by an exterior stair.

When I moved to New Jersey, I was lucky enough to be able to spend time along the Jersey Shore. It was great to take long strolls along miles of boardwalk, enjoy frozen custard cones, and noisy rides. Explore the towns with their beautiful old Victorians. Take a risk at a casino! There are just so many other unique flavors in the many Shore towns. Of course, there is also the beauty of the dunes and ocean which inspired my SIN HUNTERS series.
The Jersey Shore is my home and I love it. So it was heartbreaking to walk the many miles of boardwalk and see damage in one town after the other. I've posted some before and after photos on my Facebook Fan Page.
I've always been someone who believes in helping others, especially since my current release, THE PRINCE'S GAMBLE, is set in Atlantic City. For starters, I did a last minute rewrite to the book to add mentions of the storm and add a message of hope about rebuilding the Shore. It delayed release of the book, but everyone involved with the project believe that it was worthwhile to do this.
Here is a little blurb about THE PRINCE'S GAMBLE:
Prince Alexander Ivanov is scrambling to save his reputation and his livelihood. One of the Russian Nights Casino's hostesses has disappeared, and his business is suddenly under investigation by the FBI for associations with the mob and money laundering.
Special Agent Kathleen Martinez has no patience with rich, entitled aristocrats, especially one like Alexander Ivanov whom she believes is involved in the vicious human trafficking ring which she'd tried—and failed—to shut down two years earlier. With a second chance to bring him to justice, she goes undercover in the casino, but instead of facing the villain she expected, she finds herself battling a sizzling attraction to the man.
Now, forced to work together to trace the source of the illegal activities, the danger—and the passion between them—grows out of control, and they slowly begin to realize the biggest danger isn't to the casino, it's to their lives…and to their hearts.
But I also decided that I needed to do more and for that reason, I'm donating my share of the proceeds from the sales of THE PRINCE'S GAMBLE to the Hurricane Sandy NJ Relief Fund. I'm hoping that we can rebuild and restore the Shore so that people can go home and reopen the businesses that have been affected by the storm.
Thank you for letting me visit, Laura! I appreciate you letting me help spread the word about this campaign. For those of who would like to help out, please post this where you can:
Best-selling author Caridad Pineiro is helping to rebuild the shore by donating proceeds of her latest romantic suspense release, THE PRINCE'S GAMBLE, from now until March 1, 2013. Caridad's share of the proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief fund. THE PRINCE'S GAMBLE is available for download at Amazon via this link: http://amzn.to/UFCKRO or at B&N via this link: http://bit.ly/WxipEv.

By U.S. ArmyDecember 6, 2013
Waking up before the sun rises, running to the Christmas tree to discover all of the presents from Santa is a magical ritual for most children. But for needy children this ritual is something they can only dream about.
For the past 20 years, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District employees have brought a little Christmas spirit and made dreams come true for almost 3,000 children in the greater Baltimore area.
Sue Jones, a Baltimore District realty specialist for the National Relocation Program Office, introduced the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program to the District in 1993 and has been leading the effort ever since.
"I saw the program at my hair salon and wanted to be a part of it," Jones said. "It breaks my heart that some kids will wake up with nothing. I hate the idea that some kids will be disappointed and lose the magic at Christmas."
Jones said that everyone at the District has always been supportive, and people start asking her about the Angel Tree program in September.
"I thought this would be a bad year because of furloughs and the shutdown, so I asked for less angels and stockings," she said. "But for the first time I had to go back and ask for more."
Jones relies on the help of division points of contact throughout the District to pass out the angels and stockings to interested employees. This year employees provided gifts for 130 angels and 15 stockings.
"This was the first year Real Estate ran out of angels and stockings in two days. Some of the divisions ran out in four days," Jones said.
Dayo Odusanya, a district administrative assistant, chose to help a 12-year-old girl through the Angel Tree program.
"Anytime I can give back to my community not only makes me feel good, it also helps a child with whatever they may be going through," Odusanya said.
The Salvation Army of Central Maryland is thankful for the District's two decades of unwavering support.
"We always come to the District with an empty truck," said Connie Wise, program director for the Salvation Army of Central Maryland.

New activities in store for youths next year
SIBU: Youths will get a taste of a myriad of new activities that are in store for them next year, promising an exciting 2012, revealed Youth Advisor in the Chief Minister's Department Larry Sng.
He disclosed that there would also be more funding to implement youth-based activities, hinting that some of the planned activities are new ones while others are successful activities from the past.
"Next year will be an exciting year when compared to previous years. We will be having more activities and we get more from the government in implementing them," Sng told The Borneo Post when commenting on new activities in the pipeline for youths in the state, adding that he was waiting for next year's budget.
"But I would not want to jump the gun in announcing what these activities are. Let us first analyse the findings of our particular exercises in getting to know the youths in Sarawak better."
Met after the Parkway Health Talk at a leading hotel here on Saturday, Sng, however, said he was very much looking forward to work with the youths in the state.
He said a survey involving some 7,600 respondents was conducted last year and it gave him an idea of what youths really wanted.
But to really engage the youths, he felt they would need to go deeper so as to have a better understanding of their interests and needs.
From government standpoint, he said they would not want any overlapping of activities.
Added Sng: "We also do not want to implement activities that don't have any impact on youths."
The youth advisor disclosed that from now till year-end, they would focus more on research to understand youths' interest and needs.
He added that the implementation of the findings would be done statewide beginning next year.
Asked on the use of social media to better engage the youths, he revealed that they had identified a few organisations to work on this further.
He said: "We will be working very closely with them and see how we can link them up together with the government so that they could actually promote these activities on our behalf."
Instead of reinventing the wheel, he suggested that bloggers and IT-savvy youths be engaged to work with them in terms of implementation of youth-based activities.

The Sphinx measures 242 feet long and 66 feet high.

Sony DDU1615
The traditionally shortened design of the case of Sony's optical drives makes it easier to install them into small system cases. The deep grooves on the top panel add robustness to the device. The drive's front panel is made of silvery plastic, matching currently fashionable system cases of the same color. The device type symbols can be seen on the tray under which an Eject button and a LED indicator are located. The rear panel of the drive carries analog and digital audio outputs, power and interface connectors, a jumper for setting the drive's status on an IDE channel and another jumper for factory testing.
The Sony DDU1615 can read DVDs at 16x and CDs at 48x speed. By default, however, it reads CDs at up to 40x speed only due to Sony's Turbo Boost technology that is intended to minimize the drive's noise when you don't need the highest CD-reading speed. In case you do require the maximum possible speed, you should insert a disc and press and hold the Eject button for about five seconds until the LED indicator blinks two times, thus telling you that the 48x mode is enabled. The average access time is 165ms for CDs and 220ms for DVDs. The buffer size is 512KB. The following media formats are supported: DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-Video (DVD-5, DVD-9, DVD-10), Audio CD, CD-ROM (mode 1, mode 2), Photo CD Multi Session, CD-I, Video CD, CD-DA, CD-R, CD-RW, CD Extra, and Mixed Mode. The dimensions of the device are 41.4x146x171mm; its weight is 0.8kg.
The average retail price of the drive is $24.

blonde joke
(1/4) > >>
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decides to hire herself out as a handyman-type and starts canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She goes to the front door of the first house and asks the owner if he has any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch," the man says. "How much do you charge?"The blond says, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agrees and tells her the paint and ladders that she might need are in the garage. A short time later, the blonde comes back to the door to collect her money. "Your finished already?" the man says. "Yes," the blonde answers, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reaches in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde adds, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
Nice one BB, but if you tell any more itchy pee-pee jokes in the Am I forum, I'll hunt you down and kick your funny little butt. :D Ann

Josh Wilson sings about life experiencescomment (0)
January 9, 2014
By Leann Callaway
With his latest album, "Carry Me," singer/songwriter Josh Wilson shares personal stories and life lessons about relying on God for strength, stability and security.
While writing songs for this project, Wilson began experiencing severe chest and shoulder pain as well as difficulty breathing. These symptoms were so intense that Wilson believed he was having a heart attack.
He was relieved when the test results came back negative. However, after several recurring episodes, Wilson discovered he was actually having severe anxiety and panic attacks.
Despite the health issues, Wilson has maintained a busy schedule performing concerts around the country. In spring 2013, he joined the Grammy Award-winning band Third Day and American Idol finalist Colton Dixon on The Miracle Tour. In the fall he was on the Need You Now Tour with recording artists PLUMB and Mikeschair.
Recognized for his unique ability to take ordinary life experiences and turn them into soul-stirring lyrics, his songs often take listeners on a musical journey of reflection and God's redemption.
"I try to write songs based on life experiences, either situations that I've experienced personally or circumstances that I've watched my friends go through," Wilson said. "I want to encourage people with the promises that we've been given in Scripture.
"I hope the songs encourage Christians to dig deeper and to live out the gospel that has changed all of us. ... For those who don't know Christ, I hope that these songs are a good introduction to His love, grace and the truth of the gospel."
Before Wilson received his first guitar, he made a promise to his father that he would use the instrument for God. Wilson honored that commitment and began leading worship for his youth group. After high school, he attended Belmont University in Nashville where he won the Christian Music Showcase during his junior year.
Following graduation from Belmont in 2006, Wilson signed with Sparrow Records and released his major label debut, "Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup," in 2008. The album was met with critical acclaim and hailed as the "future of Christian pop."
During concerts, Wilson reflects on his recent struggles and encourages audiences to rest in God's Word during times of uncertainty.
"I think God is reminding me to trust Him in a way that I never have before, especially with the anxiety attacks," he said. "One of my favorite verses lately is Exodus 14:14, 'The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.' I've always said that Jesus is all that I need, but when He really is all that you have, it becomes clear how much you need to depend on Him daily.
"If people are still searching for the truth when they come to a concert, my prayer is that the songs will point people closer to Jesus. It's my desire through these songs for people to realize that Jesus is the answer to what they are searching for, and He is the only one who can fill the void in their life and mend all the broken pieces."
