Steven Souza's Batting Line for the period of July 15-July 21, 2013

FREEPORT, Maine (AP) — Three days after 9/11, Elaine Greene held an American flag above her on a street corner in her hometown in Maine. Drivers honked and shouted "God Bless America."
Since then, Greene and two other women have spent an hour every Tuesday waving the flag on the same corner in Freeport. It's to honor America's service personnel and to show that the American spirit is alive and kicking.
Dressed in stars-and-stripes shirts, the Freeport Flag Ladies have devoted their lives to inspiring others through the flag.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, they've organized three days of vigils, concerts, a laser light show, a parade and other events.
And for two hours Sunday morning, they will be in their usual place, holding flags, enticing drivers to honk.

What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a power-free partnership between two individuals who desire mutual growth. One of the individuals usually has greater skills, experiences, and wisdom (Weinstein, 1998).
- Mentoring is a journey that requires perseverance
- Mentoring includes helping mentoring partners to determine their priorities, uncover their passions, and honestly address their pain.
- Mentoring concentrates on the needs of the one being mentored, not on the agenda of the mentor.
- Mentoring focuses on changing people from the inside out, not the outside in.
- Mentoring involves the spiritual side of a person, not just the physical, mental, and emotional aspects.
- Mentoring is one of the best ways to have a significant personal impact on society, even for generations.
(Source: The Heart of Mentoring, Stoddard, D., 2003)
What is a Mentor?
A mentor is someone who…
- is a friend, adviser, coach, role model, guide and sponsor.
- is above all available and makes the time commitment to the mentoring partner.
- is able to establish a trusting relationship.
- has the ability to empower the mentoring partner.
- has the ability to honor the mentoring partner's autonomy.
- encourages the mentoring partner's development of supportive relationships with peers, faculty, staff and industry.
- has the ability to tap into organizational networks and opportunities available.
What is a Mentoring Partner?
Mentoring is an interactive process. Successful mentoring is not only based on the characteristics of the mentor, but also attributes possessed by the mentoring partner.
A successful mentoring partner should have the following characteristics:
- Motivation
- Interest in developing new skills
- Good communication skills
- Goal oriented
- Willing to assume responsibility for own growth and development
- Seeks challenging assignments
- Is receptive to feedback and coaching

Key Statistics: SS Dean Anna 3-5, 2B, 3R, 2RBI; 1B Cody Decker 3-5, 2 2B, 2R, 3RBI; 2B Jonathan Galvez 3-5, 2 2B, 3R, 2RBI, SB; C Rene Rivera 4-5, 2R, 2RBI; RHP Sean O'Sullivan 3IP, 1H, 0R, 3K, 1BB
Prospect Watch: Through three innings, Sean O'Sullivan and Juan Nicasio were locked in a pitcher's duel. However, after a rain delay of more than an hour, the Padres came back with a vengeance, knocking out a season-high 21 hits to blow the game open against three relievers. O'Sullivan only allowed one hit and a walk in three innings to finish June with a 3.34 ERA. … Jonathan Galvez enjoyed the stay in Colorado Springs. With two doubles Sunday, the second baseman/left fielder tallied five extra-base hits in the series after managing just four the rest of the month. Even with his surge, Galvez finished June with a 267/333/396 line, his worst month of the season.

San Antonio Missions 3 Springfield Cardinals 2
Key Statistics: 3B Jake Blackwood 1-3, HR(5); LHP Juan Oramas 4IP, 5H, 1R< 4K, 1BB; RHP Ruben Mejia 2IP, 2H, 4K, 1BB; RHP Matt Stites 1IP, 2H, 1R, K, S(8)
Juan Oramas returned to the Missions rotation Sunday, working four solid innings. The 23-year-old Mexican gave up five hits and walked one, but allowed only one run and struck out four. The lefty, returning from Tommy John surgery last spring, threw 64 pitches, 37 for strikes. Before the injury, he was one of the top lefties in the system. … Matt Stites came close to making it an entire month without surrendering a run, but the Missions' closer wound up yielding one with one out in the ninth. The fireballing righty did bounce back to hold onto the lead and record his eighth save of the season. For the month, he gave up only four hits in 12.2 innings, striking out 14 against only one walk. For the season, he has a 41:7 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 40 innings.

Inland Empire 66ers 18 Lake Elsinore Storm 2
Key Statistics: LF Jeremy Baltz 2-5; 3B Duanel Jones 2-4, 2B, 2RBI; RHP Matt Jackson 2.2IP, 9H, 8ER, 2K, 1BB; LHP Brandon Alger 1.2IP, 8H, 9R, 2K, BB
Prospect Watch: The nightmare season continued for Matt Jackson and Brandon Alger Sunday as the two combined to give up 17 runs in 4.1 innings. Jackson, 25, has never found his footing this year as he has been asked to shuttle across multiple levels after a solid campaign in 2012. The big righty has a 6.32 ERA overall, including a 5.99 mark in his 13 Cal League appearances. Alger, who jumped straight from Eugene, started the year in the rotation, but has been knocked around heavily. The Indiana native, who turns 22 later this week, has been incredibly hittable, yielding a .343 opponents' batting average. … Jeremy Baltz added two more hits on Sunday, extending his hitting streak to 10 games to begin his stint in the Cal League. The 22-year-old outfielder has a pair of hits in each of his last six games.
Lake County Captains 1 Ft. Wayne TinCaps 0
Key Statistics: RHP Bryan Rodriguez 5IP, 4H, 1R, 4K, 1BB
Prospect Watch: Bryan Rodriguez's second start back from the DL was a strong one as the righty only gave up one run in five innings. After he missed all of last season, it was alarming when the 21-year-old hit the shelf earlier this month, but he only missed one turn in the rotation, and has eight strikeouts in 9.1 innings since coming back. … Brian Adams entered the game as a pinch runner in the ninth inning, but committed one of the cardinal sins in baseball as he continues to work to turn his great athleticism into good baseball skill. The fleet outfielder was thrown out trying to steal third base to end the game, snuffing out the closest thing to a rally the club had all day.
For further reading on the TinCaps, see the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette
Boise Hawks 6 Eugene Emeralds 5
Key Statistics: RF Wynton Bernard 3-4, BB, R; C Michael Miller 2-4, HR; RHP Yimmi Brasoban 5IP, 4H, 3R, 3K, 2BB, HBP; RHP Mike Kelly 2IP, 0H, 0R, 0K, 1BB, HBP
Prospect Watch: Yimmi Brasoban made one mistake on the day, but it was a big one that turned into a three run homer. The 19-year-old righty did bounce back to work two more scoreless innings after the blast and owns a 2.65 ERA in four starts so far. … Rancho Bernardo alum Wynton Bernard had three hits and a walk in the leadoff spot, and now sports – in incredibly limited action – a .400 average in two different leagues this year. The 22-year-old outfielder, a late round pick out of Niagara last year, has a .294 overall average in 51 at-bats across the lowest three levels of the system.
AZL Giants 8 AZL Padres 6
Key Statistics: DH Tommy Medica 2-4, HR(2); 3B Dustin Peterson 1-2, 2BB, E; 1B Jake Bauers 1-4, 2B, E; LHP Griffin Russell 0.2IP, 2H, 4R, 3ER, 4BB, K;
Prospect Watch: In addition to the high-profile young arms at the top of their draft class last year, the Padres took a number of high school pitchers in later rounds who were bigger projects. Texan Griffin Russell, 19, is one of those guys. The lefty, who signed as a 28th-round pick, has serious command issues, but good stuff when he can harness it. Sunday, he didn't. He walked four and gave up a pair of hits while failing to make it out of the first inning. … Malcolm Diaz, a 13th-round pick out of high school in Puerto Rico, bounced back after a pair of his own rough outings. The 19-year-old allowed one run in 2.1 innings. He didn't walk anyone, a feat for a guy who came in with 31 free passes in 22 professional innings.

text: This could be the end of my luck. After weeks of reserves playing well (Darren Collison and Beno Udrih) the starters have returned for to their respective teams and roles and minutes and ball time have been shuffled away from those two. It's really hurting. Plus having the Cavs wrap up home court won't help for my PFD Lebron James. Plus guys like Eric Gordon and Elton Brand are just so inconsistent, it's hard to judge what their output will be, and this week it has been low. Gordon is shooting about 20% for the week, and Brand has disappointed all season long.

How to sue concrete contractor without a lawyer?
We hired this dude to pour a concrete driveway. But one side is higher than the other; therefore the water get into the basement. We called and let him know about it. A week later, he came and said he'll fix it. It has been two weeks but no response from him. We've tried to call him so many times but he didn't answer the phone. Well, we've tried again today and the lady answered the phone said that he left his cell phone at home. But he was out of town.
Does anyone have any ideas how to track this guy down?

I would like to ask you nice people to help me find the perfect Honing steel for my Elite Shun 8" !
The knife is very sharp and very gentle and i heared i cant use any honing steel. what do you think i should use??
Honing steels may do more harm than good for the harder knives, especially if you changed the edge angle to a steeper one. However, some people do use them. If you are new to steeling knives, however, it is not recommended. Furthermore, sooner or later the steel will no longer work, and you will need to remove some metal from the edge to restore full sharpness (unless you have one of the honing rods that abrades the edge slightly... But those also involve a higher chance of damage in the event of bad technique, a heavy hand, or errors).
Instead, consider taking a page from the sushi chef's book -- polish the edge for a few minutes after every 8-10 hours of use (maybe even longer, since a sushi chef cuts way more in 8 hours than a home cook would in the same time) on a high grit stone (6000 grit or above), and once every five to seven polishings, use a medium stone (800 to 2000 grit) to fully refresh the edge.
This advice is based on the information given to me by Mr. Sugai, the knifemaster (and co-founder) of Korin Trading, who told me that that this is how sushi chefs take care of their high-hardness knives (couple of minutes on the high grit stones at the end of every working day, and mediums once a week). I don't have any set hours or time frames, and just polish my edges when I feel that they are not cutting at their best, and go to the medium stones when that no longer gets the results I normally get.
Not at all. Ceramic rods and borosilicate rods work just fine for Japanese knives. However, damage is very likely with bad technique, or simple mistakes, compared with stropping or a few passes on a fine stone, because all the force of the contact is concentrated on one spot on the edge with a honing rod, as opposed to the stones, where the force is distributed through the contact area, which will be the length of the knife, width of the stone, or maybe wider if the blade is at an angle.
And if you use a regular grooved rod, the likelihood of damage is higher yet.
I personally do not use a rod. Everyone is free to do what they want with their property. Ceramic and borosilifate rods work great, keep knives sharp longer, and extend knife life and save time by extending the time between resharpenings -- if used correctly. However, the practice carries some risk, one which is higher compared to stropping and high grit stones for maintenance between sharpenings.
I am not sure I should recommend the *exact* stone(s) and rod since I don't know how you sharpen, but I will do my best to share what I have learned.
I have not had a very wide range of experiences yet -- only about 30 or 40 different stones -- and about a hundred or so knives in about 15 or 20 different steels (I don't own them all -- I go around sharpening my friends' knives; they get sharp knives, I get practice, experience with different knives, and typically drinks or dinner made with the knives), and I have not actually sharpened a Shun Elite. I have sharpened Shun Classics and observed that they showed chips while the other knives the same person owns and uses do not.
If you are new to sharpening I would recommend the King 1200 and Arashiyama or Takenoko (from all indications the same stone sold under different brand names). The King cuts relatively slow and so is a good stone to learn on -- any mistakes would be limited by the speed of the stone. The Takenoko is relatively soft (especially if you soak it first -- it does not need it, but many people report better results by doing so) and accomodating of a wide range of pressures and so again would be a good stone to learn on.
If you are an experienced sharpener, you probably have your own preferences, but my current preference is Bester 1200->Naniwa Superstone 3000->Kitayama (8000) or Naniwa Superstone 10K.
For maintenance polishing I just use the finishing stone. Though I do not use rods myself because damage is likely with bad technique (and because I actually enjoy just enjoy the sharpening itself and so would rather polish on the stones than use a rod), with good technique, *the right rod* will extend the life of your knife. Understanding that I do not use them myself, from what I can from having read the opinions of many people on several forums, the Idahone ceramic hone, MAC ceramic hone, and borosilicate hones are all good for high hardness knives. But do watch the video on Chefknivestogo.com on how to use one -- they made one for the MAC ceramic hone:

How Do Salt Systems Work? Saltwater systems have been becoming increasingly popular in recent years. They offer a number of benefits over a regular chlorine pool.
Saltwater swimming pools draw on dissolved salt in the water to generate chlorine. The salt cell or generator utilizes a process called electrolysis to break down or separate the salt also known as sodium chloride or NaCl in the water.
The chemical reaction created by electrolysis produces chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid. These sanitizing / disinfecting / oxidizing agents are the same as chlorine commonly used in swimming pools in solid and powdered form. This means a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine free. It simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of being dependent on chlorine added in other forms.
An important difference between a non-saltwater pool and a saltwater system is that saltwater pools have reduced amounts of chloramines. Chloramines are a by-product of oxidation or the breakdown of matter in the pool water and are the primary cause of eye irritation and a pungent "chlorine" smell. The reduced chloramines in a saltwater pool are one of the biggest advantages. The process of electrolysis oxidizes or eliminates chloramines in a much a similar manner as traditional chlorine shock.
Typical residential salt systems request the salt levels in the pool to be in the 2800 – 4200 parts per million range. This is much less than the ocean, which has a salt level of approximately 35,000 ppm.
At Gabe's Pool Service we manage toward a salinity level of 3,000 to 3,500 parts per million (ppm) or 3 to 3.5 grams per liter in the pool water. While we utilize the on board salinity reader provided with most salt systems we also use a separate independent digital salt reader to test every time we perform a service or maintenance visit to a saltwater pool. This helps us verify the reading because on board readers can become inaccurate as seasons go by.
General Information
Heavily concentrated salt should not be poured into the skimmer as it could cause a fuse to blow in the salt cell due to over-conductivity. The proper method of adding salt is to pour it across the steps or pool floor and brush it in until it is fully dissolved.
Even with the daily chlorine generation via the salt cell chlorine levels can become lower in a saltwater pool. When they do the leading cause is typically low salt. Other causes include low stabilizer / cyanuric acid, lower concentration of salt due to splash out, backwashes, and dilution via a variety of sources including rainwater, evaporation etc.

I pulled the rear end out yesterday and i'm pretty sure its a Ford 8.8, however having the 5x4-3/4 axles it confused me. I looked into it a little more and it comes out to 5x120.7 mm which seems to have been standard in older camaros. I found this casting number on it E4DW 8A and a Ford stamp. I'm going to post a few pictures if I can figure it out. I only have a few but the first one is what the car looked like when we first got it a few months ago (not sure why the mini 14 is posing with the car). Theres one of our motor, I know I know, SBC.. But thats what we had here. 383 with 10.5 to 1 pistons, L98 Aluminum Heads and a good size Comp Roller cam, Scat rods, Sanderson headers. Oh and three 2's that just came in today to finish the motor ( Need to be painted). Also a pic of the rear end and the car a few days ago before I pulled the motor out.
Thanks again for any help,
As far as the bashing goes it's more about the company, than the car, they screwed a lot of people.
When I put my fenders back on I glassed them. Now you have to know what you are doing so that when you cut the old fender off the car you leave enough to glass too. When you take the new fender you have to cut the amount off of that fender that you lift on the car. A spot you have to check is were the fender meets the running board, you don't want one wider than the other.
These cars were setup to take a Ford rearend, Like I said I put a jag in mine, so I cut everything that was there out. and put a new crossmember in to hold the jag.
That video that gearhead posted is ok, but I can tell you some better things to do. That guy is a builder and want's to get it done as fast as he can, time is money. Everyone has things they can do to make a build easier.
Pm me I will give you my phone # and we can talk about somethings you might want to do. Also if you can get down and take a straight on picture of your front fenders, I should be able to tell if yours are the same as mine were.
Oh I have a CMC body also, it is different than the streetbeast body a little mostly in the firewall.

Mom still has a hard time writing for me as when I visit all she wants to do is hold me and love on me. I asked her to let me try this catputer thing and she said she would be good and write for me.
I love hanging out with my sister and my new "sisters" Darla and Massy. We all have so much fun. And being with them and my big brother Thomas while we work on thier house and barns has been a hoot. Now we are working on a place for thier chicken, Myrtle the chicken who runs with cats, she and Panama will be living there and they have a place for a cow too.
The house they built is big enough for Angel, Darla and I to live in too and our brother Timmy may move in also, he and Thomas have aways been best buds as well as brothers.
Well I have to run ,Mom is getting thatlook in her eyes again and I have to get back to help do some painting and help cook dinner.
Purrs, BaileyJoy.
Hi, My name is Bailey Joy, and I had a wonderful home with my Mom and all my brothers and sisters. My Mom frist saw me at the pet store, the one where they take homeless cats in to help them find good homes. She liked me then and I knew she was mine even if she didn't. She thought she couldn't take any more in.
Over the next few weeks everytime she came into the store she kept hoping I had found a home. One day She came in and was talking to me then turned to pick out a new litter box and she heard me call maa then I did it again. She came over to the cage I was in and said did you say Maaa. Of course I said it again and I reached out and wrapped my paw around her finger and squezed it. She was hooked. When she talked to the store people she found out I had been left behind many times. Well Mom went home did some fiquring and knew she could get me next month. Grandmew happened to be there and she told Mom that she had some extra money and lets go back for her. They did and I had a forever home of my own. I have to stop for now as my Mom is crying and needs to come back later to add more in my dairy when she can.

Anyway, it does show promise!
I daily carry the LCP and really love it but wouldn't mind carrying a 9mm instead.
Anyone else have some input on this new gun?

Citation: Ajithdoss, D.K., Reddy, S.M., Suchodolski, P.F., Lee, L.F., Kung, H.J., Lupiani, B. 2009. In Vitro Characterization of the Meq Proteins of Marek's Disease Virus Vaccine Strain CV1988. Virus Research. 142(1-2):57-67. Interpretive Summary: Marek's disease (MD), a virus-induced cancer-like disease of chickens, is a major disease problem in commercial poultry. This disease is caused by a virus called Marek's disease virus (MDV); the virus produces a protein called Meq thought to be involved in induction of MD. Earlier studies have shown that the Meq protein of a virulent strain of MDV is essential for causing the disease. The data in this manuscript provides the first evidence that Meq proteins from MDV vaccine strain named CVI988 are generally weak cancer inducers; the data explained the non-cancer causing properties of strain CVI988 of MDV in chickens. This information is essential to develop more effective vaccines against MD.
Technical Abstract: Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), commonly known as Marek's disease virus serotype-1 (MDV-1), causes T cell lymphoma in chickens. Vaccines prepared from the CVI988/Rispens MDV-1 strain currently offers the best protection. Although, CVI988 is non-oncogenic, it codes for at least two forms of the MDV oncoprotein Meq, and these proteins (CVI-Meq and CVI-L Meq) have not previously been characterized. Here, we report that both CVI-Meq proteins, like the Meq protein of Md5 (a very virulent oncogenic strain) were capable of transforming Rat-2 and NIH3T3 cells. CVI-Meq proteins activated the meq promoter only in the presence of chicken c-Jun (CK-Jun) whereas Md5-Meq activated the same promoter irrespective of CK-Jun co-expression. However, Meq proteins of both Md5 and CVI988 bound the meq promoter in a ChIP assay regardless of whether CK-Jun was co-expressed or not. Domain swapping experiment indicated that both DNA binding and transactivation domains of Md5 Meq are essential for its full transactivation function. Further, site-directed mutagenesis of the Md5-Meq protein showed that amino acid residues at positions 71 and 320 are necessary for increasing transcription from its own promoter. All three Meq proteins activated the MDV gB, MMP-3 and Bcl-2 promoters and suppressed transcription from the MDV pp38/pp14 bidirectional promoter. Collectively, our data suggest that CVI-Meq proteins are generally weak transactivators, what might contribute to non-oncogenic phenotype of CVI988 virus in chickens.

To scream at the next person who says they'd sort her sleep ??(59 Posts)
Dd2 is 10 months she's a fucking awful sleeper. Did pick up put down in Jan and achieved only 3 wakings a night. 4 wks on and she gets a cold back to square 1 of needing feeding/resettling every 45m to 2 hrs max all night. Even if Co sleeping which I am trying to stop as I'm getting too tired for it to be safe and though I love it I did it scary.
Only about v3 occasions have a I had help, in all this time I've had 1 night where I've had more than 4 hrs of unbroken sleep and that was sat upright on a chair with her on my lap. I feel like a fuckibg awful useless mother as the dds are wonderful in the day yet come bedtime we end up in a mess. Last night I had 2 hrs sleep in total, tonight I have been horrible to dd1 and let dd2 scream and bang her head on the cot as I bury my head in a pillow for 5 minutes just to get a grip to carry on.
And yet knowing this wtaf do several people in mylife think saying smugly "leave her with me 1 night I'll sort her out, shell sleep for me" including mil, bil....
Oh! My DS was constipated too, his poor tummy kept him awake at night if he hadn't pooed for a couple of days. Glycerin suppositories were the key for us there. He had lactulose twice a day for over a year but it didn't make much difference as it was psychological rather than too hard to get out.
Talking of lactulose, I had to have some after giving birth, and I was kept awake that night with stomach cramps and horrible wind. I didn't touch it again after that, it was awful. So the lactulose could be affecting sleep too (we stopped giving it to DS in the evenings when we figured that out).
i heard going once a week is normal with exclusively breast-fed babies, but personally the most i've ever managed to ebf is one week and there was poo throughout...
if you have someone who is willing and able to help you out, but you are worried about their methods, you could try staying in the house yourself for the first time, so you will always be there if you can hear anything you don't agree with going on. you might not sleep but at least you'll be more confident to leave your child the next time, and hopefully not have to get out of bed/be awake for so long.
irritating being told what to do obviously, they probably had children more compatible with their methods and so had an easier time. but there are many methods to try e.g. controlled crying that your relatives probably have in mind. if there is one you think might suit you it's worth giving a go right?
Right- sorry to sound know it all but I'll chuck my 2 pence in!
Poo problems are almost definitely an intolerance, there is a clinic in Kent called celestine and their number is 01634 247500 they are amazing- lots of people will disagree with me but they saved mine and many friends sanity!! The baby holds a metal stick linked to computer and it tells you what they are intolerant to- either cows milk protein or lactose- if it's lactose then the Lactulose you are giving is exacerbating the problem. If it is too far for you call them and they may recommend somewhere local to you.
I'm not shitting you it's fab! (My husband also went and diagnosing his intolerances has changed him!)
You are doing a great job and it will get easier
Thankyou all feeling a little calmer now noble the niece story made me laugh, it's exactly like that dd1 was such a fab sleeper I was all smug, its like dd2 came along just to slap me out of it!
Iwish I'm going to look into the intolerance been mentioned c to me when she was smaller but I got poopooed by everyone so never pursued it.
Lemon thankyiu that exact approach worked with dd1 when she had blips, dd2 though is a different kettle of fish altogether. When I left her tonight more togegra grip on my temper than to run and x train her she slammed her head into cot bars 3 times, I feel worried now she is sleeping because she bumped her head. Problem is she's back at the stage where she can't fall asleep being cuddled/fed either so I'm stuck.
Glub think I'm going to have to ask mil for an extra day this week and have a day sleep there. Just have to be so careful as every time I impart "new" advice I can hear her thinking "maybe that's what I didwwrong" and it breaks my heart. She's lovely so I hate that she irritates me over this iyswim.
Hecsy I'm totally saying that to bil next time!
YANBU. I would tell them to fuck off.
Dd1 was up 3 times a night until 16 months, then she suddenly started sleeping through. Hang on in there, it will happen.
I now have dd2, she sleeps! I did nothing especially differently, some babies just sleep better than others.
softly even lovely people get things wrong, as i see you well know... shit happens most parents do the best they can. 'mil i'd like to give x a go' should be a good place to start. can she begrudge you trying out something you think is a good, well thought out/researched idea surely not i hope?
YANBU- ignore them, people always make silly throw away comments, the reality would be very different. If they want to help, let them take her out in the day so you can catch up with sleep.
I wrote you a long post,but my tablet died before I could press post. It is quite late now so I will summarise the main points. IMO a lot of your dd's sleep issues stem from discomfort due to constipation (both my dd's have always had terrible nights when they were backed up and improve after mega poos, worse than teething).
Food diary plus food elimination (try cutting out dairy, wheat, gluten one at a time for 3 weeks at a time to see if it helps).
Also if you are doing BLW offer watery foods, lots of veg and fruit, stews are good, not too many beans and pulses (wind), cut down on pasta and bread (constipating), no red meat.
Up the lactulose dose, I was taking it 3 times a day in pregnancy.
Get a prescription for glycerin suppositories to help her move the compacted faecal matter (lubricate anus with vaseline). The lactulose would have softened the stool behind it so be prepared for poonamis.
If upping lactulose does nothing in conjunction with glycerin then ask GP about Movicol. Although untested on under 2's they can prescribe for babies (search on Google you will find examples).
I hope this helps, it is awful being sleep deprived.
And should by law be able to beat anyone who does it with a rancid dead fish.
Disclaimer I'm pretty sure that s not the actual law so if you do decide to go down that route don't blame me.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Many sympathies. Could have written your OP
I feel your pain.
My dd is 13 months. Terrible sleeper since she was born! Never slept more than 3/4 hours in a row - and she's only done 3/4 hours on a few occasions!
I put her to bed about 7:30/8.....I will go to bed at 12ish....she will wake up about 4 times by then.
We co-sleep too. Still breastfeeding - she drinks about twice during the night.
When she wakes up she has to have my nipple to go back to sleep.
She just wakes up constantly.
Sorry to hi jack but I'm desperate for advice too!
I don't know what to do :-(
I am tired but I somehow have managed to adjust.
She has also been really constipated for the past month - doctor has given us movicol to try. She's always been a bad sleeper though so not like that's the reason :-(
She just can't sleep for longer periods of time?
We have the same routine every evening.
When she wakes up it's a whinge cry - but it's quite an upset one.
If I ignored her she would definitely go mad. I've tried to withhold the nipple sometimes to see if she will settle she just starts crying really loudly.
I don't know why she can't just stay asleep for a few hours!!!!
My DD was a truly awful sleeper. I hardly had 45 mins in a row of sleep until she was just about 2. She's 2and8months now and wow, she goes at least twice a week through the night and I'm counting only 3/4 wakings as a "bad" night now :D - seems to be common I think, when they start improving they improve quickly.
I haaaated the smug sleep brigade though - they usually talk shit anyway. I was recommended brandy. In a bottle. A full legal measures worth. Mixed with milk, as "well it IS for the baby"... What?!
I also had a doctor tell me "when she cries, you should try cuddling her"... As opposed to what I was doing, which was clearly putting her in the garden so I could hear the TV properly <*hides DD shaped dent in belly from her being held by me for 20 hours a day, every day, her entire life at this point*>
Constipation is tough in littlies as obviously they can't tell you how they feel etc. Intolerances are a good to check out, some posters with great advice here and your gp will help I'm sure - don't let them poopoo you!
Warm baths with gentle tummy rubs always seemed to help my DD - and DSS who has had constipation to the point of impaction before. Bringing baby's knees up to tummy and down again too. All gentle and warm water/warm blanket over tummy.
... Or letting them have "nappy free" running around time on the light beige carpet works, too .
I used to work as a baby/ toddler sleep therapist.
MOST babies can be managed into a great sleep pattern. It's about finding problems and solving them. This is very difficult for emotionally involved and sleep deprived parents and pretty easy for an uninvolved, wide awake therapist!
HOWEVER I am totally happy to admit that there are some babies/ toddlers who are simply poor sleepers. In the same way there are some adults who don't sleep well. It is possible to aid sleep patterns but not always rectify. Sometimes you just have to accept that baby will only sleep from 10pm-6am and go with that...rather than enforce a 7pm bedtime for example!
I like the book 'the no cry sleep solution' it's a very gentle sleep conditioning program.
As a sleep therapist. I would say for every 100 babies there were 5 genuine poor sleepers, 4 of these who I could help and 1 of whom I made no difference to whatsoever!
Don't beat yourself up. Do the best you can, try to change the pattern that works best for you and our baby.
Remember that it will pass......
Hi again, just a thought as well that maybe some cranio-sacral osteopathy could help. Was talking to a lady recently whose baby did the most explosive poos after every session (changes of clothes required). I have had it lots since I was a child and always sleep like a log afterwards (as a child I used to fall asleep as soon as I got home).
Thankyou for all the good advice im going to try elimination, will have to investigate how to do dairy free for her though what about my milk? <<clueless>>
sock Im collecting rancid fish as we speak!
IWatch the method Lemon have upthread may work for you it worked for dd1 who was more whine/cry than genuine meltdown uncontrollable emotionally. Work a shot? Though will be harder if you co sleep.
Bruised/text 2/3/12 seriously? ? <<LEAVES HOME>>
My sister had that for her dd when she had reflux and swears it works. I haven't been able to afford it on maternity leave but now I'm back in work may take a look. Thanks x
jendot how do you feel about charity work
softly - please speak to a doctor before trying elimination diets, it needs to be done correctly and just eliminating food can cause more problems than its solves.
I'd start by keeping a food diary and see if there are any correlations between better nights/more poos and that days food intake. Take this to the doctor as a starting point and see what they suggest.
Yanbu - ds was an unput-downable baby and frequent night wakings - did pupd with some success but still night wakings.
A tummy bug for all of us ended in Co sleeping - ds and I on a king size mattress on ds' bedroom floor worked well for us. And now I can leave him for a bit before I go to bed.
Def investigate reflux/dairy intolerance/other intolerance.
It could also be teething or seperation anxiety.
Poor softly.
Excuse the rapid reply - got to dash but.....
People who think the sleep can be sorted just by being "strict" Orr using a particular trick are wrong and make me feel stabby!
I have a 2 yo who has on.y recently slept through and still wakes earlier than many of his peers.
I read Elizabeth pantley's "no cry sleep solution" and while the advice didn't work like magic, emerald erg helpful and these single, sensitive approach meant I no longer felt like killing myself after so long without sleep .
I found it a huge comfort in a difficult time. The sleep will improve. Do what you need to do. Hopefully your DH will be able to join in a bit more soon and that will help too.
With regard to the constipation. This is unlikely to be an intolerance. There are many quacks out there who will "diagnose" intolerances with questionable methods resulting in unhealthy dietary restrictions.
The constipation needs to be sorted. It is not good practice to repeatedly attempt a dietary approach as the sole solution. If there's not a swift improvement after an increase in fluids and fruit then medication is required and will need to be continued for some time to relieve the problem. This is not uncommon in children. See a different GP if your current one is fobbing you off.
If you suspect signs of reflux then there are specific tests for this and your GP should be investigating the for you. Ditto with any real intolerance.
I left terrible sleeper 18mo DD with my mum and aunt for a long weekend on the promise they'd fix her sleep. They didn't. And DS gave aunt a black eye (accidentally). Oh how I laughed. Not.
PS, eventually I put aside two weeks and did controlled crying. It helped hugely, was no worse than I expected for the first few nights and astonishingly better within 4 or 5 days.
There are no reliable tests for milk intolerance unless your baby has a severe anaphlaxis-type allergy. RAST blood test would prob show negative. Cutting dairy out of your diet if you are BF, plus soy, for a good couple of weeks might give you an indication of whetger that's the issue. If formula feeding, there are formulas where the proteins are broken down- an example is aptamil pepti. You can buy it from boots on special order.
If you are doing dietary restriction linger term then you will both need to see a dietician.
Feel for you, sounds grim, and having been there with DD1 I can sympathise.....

What position are you carrying in? Try moving the gun closer to your hip, away from your spine. I found that carrying in the appendix position is the most comfortable and easy to conceal for me. i carry my SR9C there every day.
This is a discussion on Do I need to harden up? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm having great difficulty getting comfortable carrying my FNP-40 or even my LCR IWB. I have a Crossbreed supertuck for the FNP and a mini-tuck ...
I'm having great difficulty getting comfortable carrying my FNP-40 or even my LCR IWB. I have a Crossbreed supertuck for the FNP and a mini-tuck for the LCR but its very uncomfortable when I get in the car and having the gun diggin in my back. Standing is fine, but I have resorted to sticking my LCR in an Uncle Mikes soft holster and appendix carry. Does anybody else have these problems? I'm sure I'm not the only one. So what did you do to deal with it? I'm thinking of getting something smaller than the FNP but if I cant get comfortable with the LCR than I'm a little stumped. I have a OBW holster for the FNP but it doesnt hold it close enough to my body and it prints badly. Any suggestions would be great.
I carry a .357mag because no one bickers about the .357mag being "enough".

if you are very skinny it may help to have the FBI cant, or even 5 degrees more. thus your hipbone has the handle above and the bbl below.
If your gun is digging into your back while seated in your car you must be attempting to carry in an extreme rearward position. I know some people do it but I can't imagine a comfortable way to carry in the 5:00 - 6:00 position. Try carrying at 3:30 - 4:00.
You'll get used to it. Takes a while for the body to custom form to the new piece of wardrobe. I have a visible dent in my right buttocks/hip/waist that is the same outline of my holster/grip.

I try to position the holster close to my hip. I'm not a skinny guy but I'm not heavy either, 5'8" @ 170lbs. When I'm walking around its fine, just mainly getting in the car is whats a pain. While I dont lean back in the car I wondering if I should try having my seat a little more upright. I'm going to go look at some thinner firearms today. Always looking for an excuse to buy right? I'm actually gonna buy a LCP but I'd like to carry a larger gun/caliber more comfortably.
I carry a .357mag because no one bickers about the .357mag being "enough".
I use the same holster (supertuck) but carry at 3:00-4:00 o'clock position. It's more comfortable, for me, than carrying as far back as (it sounds) you carry.
Well, it's pretty subjective to each of us although carrying a handgun does come with an inherent compromise. Personally, I don't care for any restrictive garments, belts or much less a sidearm. Still, I do carry and I found that location, location, location plays a big role in tolerated discomfort. Likewise, holster selection is a significant contributing factor. If these two adjustments don't reduce the anxiety then perhaps a different carry gun may be the solution. The stepwise approach isn't quick nor is it cheap but it is pretty much what I had to go through.

You probably need to move it...but that is your personal preference. Have to move it around and find the "sweet spot". it like that special spot on your pillow or bed that makes you most comfortable.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I will say that it does take a lot of experimenting with where you carry your gun on your body as well as the type of holster which will carry the type of gun you choose in as comfortable a way as possible. I'm glad you are considering how your car seat is adjusted as well, as many people tend to overlook that factor. But no getting around it does take a lot of experimentation and "trial and error." Especially when it comes to brand and type of holster design. Keep trying. You won't be the only one who may end up with a drawer full of holsters you've accumulated that you no longer use. Most people have one of those "infamous holster drawers." And yes, it can get moderately expensive trying to find that right combination of gun and gear which will work best for you.
You also may have to come to accept the fact that as Clint Smith often says... Carrying a gun should provide a feeling of comfort, but not necessarily comfortable to wear. I know many people who never end up with a set up that is considered comfortable to wear all the time. You're literally wearing a hard, sometimes heavy piece of metal on the body which is almost always going to dig in and bite, rub or abrade part of your delicate and fleshy hide on a regular basis.
Carrying a gun all the time, everywhere you go takes a serious commitment that so many people simply end up abandoning for a variety of reasons. Some don't want to give up their fashion statement wardrobe, and others just because that frequently, it hurts and is somewhat painful to lug around a chunk of steel all day.
Fortunately, there has never been more gun shapes and types as well as good quality comfortable custom made holsters as we have on the market today, that most people end up finding some combination which will fit their needs eventually. It's just a matter of experimenting to find which combination which will work for you.
I can't overstate the comfort level of having a good quality custom made holster makes over that of a mass produced assembly line made holster. There is simply no comparison.
Good luck with your quest for finding that right level of comfort vs. the level of discomfort you're willing to tolerate. And know you're not alone.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Just an idea to look into if you want to keep that position i would go with a small of the back holster where the barrel isnt held below your sitting angle, i myself carry a 5" at 3:00 every day
Try experimenting with the positioning of the gun. I found for me carrying at about the 3:30-4:00 position works best. If your left handed then 8:30-9:00 would be the equivalent. Also try changing the cant of your holster (if possible). This can shift the butt up and forward, making it more comfortable.

Thanks guys, I'm glad I'm not alone. I do have the infamous holster drawer with 6 holsters total. I thinking another, thinner gun may be in the line-up. My wife takes the LCR the majority of the time and I'll take my FNP with me however it stays in the car. I'm not crazy about leaving it in the car, I'd rather have it on my person. I think I'll also just bite the bullet (no pun) and just carry the FNP and learn to deal with it. We'll see how that goes.
Thanks again

Couple of things:
1 - Belt: What kind of belt do you have? If it's a "normal" belt, are you cinching it up too tight to keep the gun/holster in place? May want to try a thicker leather/other material gun belt.
2 - Holster: are you using a holster specifically made for your model gun? or is it an Uncle Mike's universal-type holster?
3 - Pants: If carrying IWB--are they big enough? Maybe go up a size to accommodate a gun and holster carried IWB.
Just a few thoughts

ISA-SP100 wireless standard committee forms 2 work groups
ISA's Wireless Systems for Automation standards committee (ISA-SP100) agreed to form two new standards working groups, SP100.14 and SP100.11.
ISA's Wireless Systems for Automation standards committee (ISA-SP100) agreed to form two new standards working groups, SP100.14 and SP100.11. The SP100.14 working group will define wireless connectivity standards optimized for the performance and cost needs of industrial monitoring, logging, and alerting applications. The SP100.11 work group will define wireless connectivity standards addressing control applications - from closed loop regulatory control through open loop manual control. The groups expect to coordinate their activities.
The ISA-SP100 committee is a collaboration of end-users and technology suppliers working to establish standards, recommended practices, technical reports, and related information that will define procedures for implementing wireless systems in the automation and control environment with a focus on the field level.
Those involved spoke out in support of the efforts.
Committee co-chair Richard Sanders of ExxonMobil says: "The ISA-SP100 standard will allow compliant devices that are relatively low complexity, reasonable cost, and low power consumption to support long battery life where needed. The communication data rates must be sufficient to satisfy the range of needs typically associated with these classes. Compliance with the ISA-SP100 guidance will improve wireless manufacturing and control system deployment as well as identify vulnerabilities. These working groups are an important part of our work to develop this standard."
SP100.11 Working Group Chair Pat Kinney of Kinney Consulting LLC , says: "Since the industrial environment may include high-power interference sources, the standard will also address the network's robustness. The working groups will address coexistence with other wireless devices anticipated in the industrial work space, such as 802.11x, 802.15x, 802.16x, cell phones, RFID, SP100.14, Wireless-HART, etc."
Committee co-chair Wayne Manges of Oak Ridge National Lab , says: "These working groups also intend to address appropriate levels of inter-operability or inter-working with other technologies and protocols in the industrial work space."
ISA-SP100.14 Working Group Chair Daniel Sexton of General Electric Global Research : "Industrial users need a family of wireless technologies they can trust, suppliers need to know how to build these technologies, and system integrators need to know where and how to apply them; ISA-SP100 will meet the needs of each of these groups."
This summer, the working groups plan to issue a request for proposals on topics including architecture, radio channel model, network coexistence strategy, RF interference strategy, and security. The new working groups also expect to define OSI layer specifications (such as PHY, DLL, etc.), security specifications, and management specification (including network and device configuration) and will also include specifications for wireless workers and wireless first responders, as well as wireless automation networks operating within an automation and control environment. Needs include coexistence, robustness to interference, and interoperability with wired plant infrastructure networks.

WRAPUP 1-Canada housing starts unexpectedly jump, new home prices gain
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO Oct 8 (Reuters) - Canadian housing starts surged unexpectedly in September while new home prices also beat forecasts in August, prolonging a housing boom in the country despite signs of weakness in other parts of the economy.
Groundbreaking on new homes jumped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 230,701 in September from a downwardly revised 214,255 in August, a report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp showed.
That puts housing starts at the highest since August 2012, bucking forecasts for a slowing in construction to 200,000 starts, which economists have said is more in line with demographic demand.
"In the span of about three months, Canadian homebuilding activity has gone from a controlled simmer to a rolling boil," BMO Capital Markets senior economist Robert Kavcic said in a research note.
"We probably can't sustain this level of homebuilding activity for long before excess supply concerns start to build."
Canada's housing boom has defied predictions of a slowdown for years, buoyed by historically low borrowing costs that have offset slow economic growth and a technical recession in the first half of 2015.
The Bank of Canada has cut rates twice this year to help stimulate the resource-dependent economy amid weak oil prices.
The last time housing starts stayed well above 200,000 for a prolonged period, the Canadian government tightened mortgage lending rules to cool the market. Continued...

Ah, Mohammed. You have failed. Apparently the Judicial system has put the responsability on the Citizens to remove the garbage from society. You got one more chance.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
I'd hate to be stupid one to bring a pellet gun to a GUN fight. You lose!! There is no fair fight, and no second place award. Win the fight. Pellet gun shooter would be wearing a body bag I'm afraid.

If it was a rifle or pistol, but I will go on the belief that it was a pistol, which in MI. you still must obtain a pistol purchase permit, even though its only a pellet gun.
I believe I would have drawn on him, to get him to stop, and if he didn't he most likely would have taken lead.

Well for one thing the term "pellet gun" is ill-defined at least in terms of the media. In my day a pellet gun fired .177 or .22 lead pellets and if you were hit in the face with these, it would (a) hurt like hell and (b) could even kill. But today Airsoft pistols that fire plastic hollow balls are often called "pellet guns". That is a far different thing!
Either way, though, if I was attacked with one I would draw and shoot, as most here would.
Anti-gunners seem to believe that if we just pass enough laws, we can have utopia. Unfortunately, utopia is NOT one of our choices.
"i see your pellet gun and raise you a 9 mm"
"i see yours, now let me show you mine"
this would be the time for a one liner as you draw.
I'm speechless.
He followed & harassed them in the store.
They did not report the behavior to anyone there.
THEN they left with the nut following them.
THEN: He tried to KILL THEM.SAY WHAT?Investigators said Quinnell fired 20 shots at close range at Mohammed,
as they walked across the parking lot.
From beginning to end, this was a failure in every aspect.
If I was an instructor I would use this incident in every class,
demonstrating the entire chain of failure.
1) I'm sure I would have drawn and fired. Pellet gun or not. Pellet in the eye /jugular - gave bodily injury or death. But as soon as I saw a gun I am pretty sure I wouldn't be waiting for it's report to determine if it's a pellet gun. Furthermore, one cannot rely on the report - the guy could have a suppressor.
2) I wouldn't be so hard on the victim for choosing not to draw. We don't know all the facts. Maybe something happened before the guy started shooting, or maybe he just made the decision that he was not in enough danger to kill the man. The latter may be an incorrect decision, but we were not there. You all know how these news reports are often loose with the facts.
Sorry but if this guy would have pulled a pellet gun on me I would have drawn on him, and I think the outcome would have been very different. I would assume there would be a trial if deadly force was used, but how can you tell the difference between a pellet pistol and a .22 pistol. LEO's I am sure have run into this issue before.
On it's surface, it's a pretty clear cut case of lawful self defense. Especially with the perps gun laying at his feet in the parking lot as evidence he had it out and was ready to use it. The fact that it would have turned out to be "just a pellet gun" would not have had a bearing on the facts of the case. The facts would have been that you shot an "armed attacker." Case closed.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
An up close pellet into the eye and into the brain could have been deadly...20 shots in the face?
I wonder why the permit holder was CCing a firearm? Certainly not for self-defense...
I believe that I may have chosen a different response.
A dirtbag with 50 previous incidents with the law? Why?

20+ shots to the face? I'd have returned fire, too. I have one good eye, and if I lost it to some joker with a pellet gun, I'd be a bit mad.

Does SPARC Have A Future?
Posted by Richard Fichera on July 28, 2010
- 597 Recommendations
- 3 comments
I have received a number of inquiries on the future of SPARC and Solaris. Sun's installed base was already getting somewhat nervous as Sun continued to self-destruct with a series of bad calls by management, marginal financial performance, and the cancellation of its much-touted "Rock" CPU architecture. Coming on top of this long series of negative events, the acquisition by Oracle had much the same effect as throwing a cat into the middle of the Westminster dog show, and Oracle's public responses were vague enough that they apparently increased rather than decreased customer angst (to be fair, Oracle does not agree with this assessment of customer reaction, and has provided a public list of customers who endorsed the acquisition at http://www.oracle.com/us/sun/030019.htm).
Fast forward to last week at Oracle's first analyst meeting focused on integrated systems. While much of the content was focused on integrating the software stack and discussions of the new organization, there were some significant nuggets for existing and prospective Solaris and SPARC customers:
- Oracle is committed to continued development and support of Solaris. While the final decision on whether and how to support Solaris on non-Oracle platforms is still TBD, our suspicion is that the potential size of the non-Oracle installed base and potential future installations will tip them to support non-Oracle systems (primarily HP, IBM and Dell x86 systems). The potential synergy between Oracle software and Solaris is obvious, and any changes that they make to optimize Oracle will probably benefit other large applications as well.
- Oracle presented a convincing roadmap for future SPARC products oriented around a common set of cores with products differentiated by number of cores, pipelines per core and cache architecture. The core designs seemed to emphasize "mainstream" CPU technology rather than some of the esoteric concepts attempted with Rock, and our confidence that they can execute is high. The net result is a roadmap that seems to offer the prospect of, if not leap-fogging Intel and AMD, of at least staying competitive with them on a performance basis.
- Along with the CPU roadmap was an outline of a systems strategy that appears to offer SPARC/Solaris customers a high likelihood of staying competitive on system performance and design.
Our net take is that while it may still be hard to convince a new customer to jump on board the SPARC bandwagon, existing customers have no reason to make an abrupt migration, and can wait and see if Oracle delivers on the milestones that they will reveal over the remainder of 2010 and into 2011. As these milestones are disclosed we will have further analysis.
On a related topic which we will address in more depth in future posts, Solaris on x86 will remain a solid enterprise choice for both current and new users. Customer issues with Sun were centered around SPARC and the strategic future of the company as opposed to technical issues with Solaris functionality, performance or stability. The continued availability of this proven operating environment, with an anticipation of continued investment and improvement by Oracle, is a strong positive for any customer looking for an enterprise-class Unix environment on an x86 platform.
However, this is my take on things. What's important are your plans and intentions. If you are a SPARC or Solaris user, let us know what your plans are for future deployment.
8/18/10 UPDATE - Oracle has recently released a webcast by John Fowler with public information on future systems plans,

Any hints from Oracle about how they're going to interact with the Solaris developer community going forward?
Oh, and congrats!
What to do...
Comment from Anthony Cull (not verified) on Thu, 07/29/2010 - 17:51
I think its the fact that oracle were quite quiet and everyone is use to SUN's openness to the community.
Since oracle have taken over sun it seems that there is hardly any news to be excited about any more.
I do hope that oracle looks at the over priced cost of patch support for Solaris. I would quite happily pay 100pa for proper patching including bug fixes. I was about 2 seconds away from reformatting my systems with BSD just for ZFS.
Oh and oracle I hope you fix the partner system... SUN's was a joke. I spent 2 weeks negotiating a partnership and Malaysia killed the dream. Yep want to install linux on SUN systems have to go bug linus...

Plan to keep developing software for Solaris, especially Solaris on the i86pc (amd64, i386) platform, since the hardware is much cheaper and simpler to acquire than Oracle's own.
We will keep running our development and production systems primarily on Solaris i86pc commodity hardware and Solaris. For development and testing, we will keep a minimum of SPARC systems around so that our customers can get our software for the sparc platform, should they desire to do so.
However, we will strongly urge and recommend to our customers that they switch to Solaris on i86pc platform, and we will stress that this is our primary development platform.
We will be recommending to customers that they strongly consider running Solaris on generic i86pc hardware from manufacturers like SuperMicro, TYAN, and ASUS until such time as the likes of DELL, hp, and Oracle are price competitive with the above vendors.
With the Oracle's anouncement of support for non-Oracle systems, we will be recommending to customers wishing to run our software, to run it on cheap generic i86pc servers and Solaris, coupled with Oracle support for those non-Oracle systems.
