Hello. I just returned to work full-time as a high school teacher. 6 month old DD is home with DH during the day. I am gone from 7 am - 3:30 pm. I pump 2x at work and leave DH with about 10 - 12 ozs. Anyway, while DD will tolerate the bottle, she is just not that interested in drinking while I am gone. DH has been able to get her to take anywhere from 5 - 7 ozs over an 8-9 hr. period. DD is happy, smiley, napping well and is 80th % for weight and off the charts for height. We CD and DH says he thinks she's been having about 5-6 wet diapers during the day.
I am totally dismayed, though, by her nighttime sleep situation and my lackthereof. She had been doing a 6 hr stretch then a 4 then a 2 until around 3 months when it got a bit more frequent. Now it feels like I am lucky to get a 3 hr stretch. I suspect that she is reverse cycling and taking in most of her milk at night since I don't think she's getting enough during the day. She's in a crib in my room b.c she is extremely active and has begun scooting and keeps DH and I both up when we cosleep.
Anyone have any experience dealing with reverse cycling? Do you think she's getting enough during the day? Is it possible to "fix" it? Does it go away? I am more sleep deprived now than I was when she was a newborn only now I am working 40 hrs/week, trying to be a good mom to my 4 year old, and trying to function.
Babies like to nurse at night and sleep with their mothers. Human babies have always done it and that's how humans have survived. Its hard to change a natural behavior. Since you are gone during the day she may nurse more at night, eat less during the day and sleep more during the day - reverse cycling. Some moms see it as a good thing, some moms become zombies.
I wouldn't worry about how much breastmilk she is getting while you are gone since she is so big. She could eat solids while you are away along with the milk you leave. At her age she should be able to feed herself mashed banana or avacado.
Sometimes we feel sleep deprived because we focus on it. If we accept it and try to flow with it then it may not seem so bad. Try to rest or meditate whenever possible. Sometimes a 10 minute rest can really help. Focus on work when you are at work and home when you are at home. Use a sling or carrier when you are at home so you can have contact with your baby and do things with your other child or get things done around the house. Insist that your husband take care of things around the house if he isn't working. Don't let him get away with saying all he should have to do is take care of the baby.
Can babies be fixed? I don't think you should try to fix babies. The methods used may cause psychological harm. This won't last forever. Your baby is already old enough for solids and that is a big milestone.
: Grandmother , 3 Adult Sons
Thanks for your response! I have decided to just let go and flow with it for a while. Somehow I managed to be functional as a teacher this week despite the lack of sleep and planning time lost to my pump. I did decide to just get myself to bed as early as possible since that's the one thing I can control that will have a direct bearing on my sleep. I guess I was mostly just worried about her milk intake. Thanks again! I think I just need to remember how fleeting this stage is and how sweet it is to be able to rock her in my arms - even at 3 am!

Apr 30, 2013 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff WriterThe Wyoming Comprehensive Cancer Control Consortium is working to support the state's young adult cancer survivors by bringing them together in a new group.
"We are looking for young adult cancer survivors to help start a Wyoming chapter of the 'Stupid Cancer' organization," says Jessica Perez, WCCCC outreach coordinator with the Wyoming Department of Health.
Stupid Cancer is a national non-profit organization designed to support young adults affected by cancer.
Perez said there were more than 557 young adult (between the ages of 15 and 39) cancer survivors living in Wyoming in 2009.
"Young adults are a largely overlooked and perhaps less understood group in the war on cancer," she said. "For example, young adult survivors may have concerns that are different than older survivors such as fertility questions, body image, cognitive function, late treatment effects, and issues related to education, employment and insurance.
"Experts also tell us cancer survival rates for young adults have not improved as much as for other age groups," Perez said. "It's also believed that young adults are less likely to have insurance coverage, which may lead to delayed diagnosis and care for cancer."
To get involved with the new chapter as a survivor or for more information, contact Perez at email@example.com or 777-7362.

Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together in a general group of "bad issues that can cause infection". I must state that I feel extremely sorry for Danielle Staub's daughters if the sex tape is released, but I don't even think it's planning to hurt her all that much. When cells are examined a couple of days later under the microscope, changes on the cells will indicate the growth in the herpes virus. Sometimes shingles use around the eyes, nose, and forehead. The most commonly reported negative effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Such an unpredictable nature of the hsv simplex virus makes genital herpes treatment harder and challenging than some of the other STD treatments.

Over-the-counter pastes like Orabase, Aphthasol and Lidex or Vanos can relieve pain and encourage healing. However, you will need to remember this varies greatly. Teitelbaum says that lots of studies have shown natural killer cells to become malfunctioning in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I learned hard way, what to do or otherwise do to help keep shingles at bay.
As you might have already discovered, any google search query regarding "home remedies for cold sores" will produce nearly endless results. While some scientists are carrying out clinical trials to determine the best approach to use existing medicines, other people are studying the biology of HSV. Anti-viral drugs including Acyclovir and Valacyclovir (Valtrex) might be taken daily to lessen the number of outbreaks and viral shedding. This type of treatment, as with all other form of herpes treatment is only for the symptoms, not the actual herpes virus. a)Head pain b)Diarrhea c)Abnormal sleeping d)Sore throat Ans:b.

to recognize the herpes symptoms. Anyone who is just not already a hollywood (reality-show or otherwise) or a model can be a potential candidate for "Hurr Hurr, They're Funny-Lookin'. Thus, there is often a high chance of a sore outbreak within the future. It can lie dormant there for decades, sometimes never reappearing whatsoever.
The initial signs and symptoms of herpes are outbreaks of blisters and causing bleeding, which eventually get a coating and heal. However, since two days ago I can move the left side independently through the right side. She then covered my blisters with dressings, had me schedule a followup appointment for a few days later and sent me on my small way. Within a fortnight of agreeing using a contract were entering into our three (3)-bedroom ranch near Lake Erie. Valtrex isn't only a powerful medication for treating genital herpes, but has also been proven effective at treating cold sores and shingles, infections caused by other strains from the simplex virus.

Threshold is developing drugs that target tumor hypoxia, a common characteristic of the tumor microenvironment that is associated with tumor progression, metastasis, resistance to radiotherapy and standard chemotherapy, and ultimately treatment failure.
Regions of tumor hypoxia, or low-oxygen conditions, is a common feature of the microenvironment of many solid tumors.1 The network of blood vessels supplying solid tumors is known to be highly irregular and disordered, failing to deliver sufficient oxygen and nutrients to the rapidly dividing cancer cells. Compromised oxygen delivery results in the development of regions of tumors that are chronically and transiently hypoxic.2,3 Hypoxia is associated with increased tumor resistance to chemotherapy and radiation treatment.1 Many conventional reactive chemotherapies are not able to penetrate into the hypoxic zones that are located at a distance from the blood vessels.4,5 Moreover, chronic hypoxia limits cancer cell proliferation, rendering the quiescent tumor cells in the hypoxic region of the tumor less susceptible to conventional antiproliferative agents, which typically target actively dividing cells in close proximity to the blood vessels. Under conditions of cell hypoxia, genomic instability can lead to tumor cell variants that can survive in an oxygen depleted environment through clonal selection and expansion.6 This clonal expansion leads to tumor progression, metastasis, acquired resistance to chemotherapy, and treatment failure, ultimately resulting in compromised clinical outcomes.6,7
Given the role of hypoxia in tumor progression, metastasis, and resistance to radiotherapy and standard chemotherapy, and ultimately treatment failure, specific targeting of hypoxic tumor regions is emerging as a significant, high-priority target for effective and durable cancer therapy.7
Threshold is currently developing evofosfamide based on hypoxia-activated prodrug technology. Scientists at Threshold designed evofosfamide as a prodrug such that it is selectively activated under hypoxic conditions, which are found in cancer tissue. Upon activation, evofosfamide releases a cytotoxic DNA-alkylating agent.

LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge on Monday suspended David Hasselhoff's visitation rights with his two teenage daughters after last week's surfacing of a videotape showing the recovering alcoholic apparently intoxicated in his Las Vegas home.
"This videotape changes the landscape, it just does," Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas said.
The judge set a May 21 hearing to determine if the tape is authentic and who was responsible for its release. His visitation order will remain in effect until then.
Hasselhoff, 54, did not attend the hearing, but his former wife Pamela Bach was there.
Portions of the video were aired last week on syndicated entertainment shows. The video shows Hasselhoff, wearing only blue jeans, lying on a floor and clumsily eating a hamburger while one of his daughters videotapes him and reproves him about his drinking.
Hasselhoff said in a statement last week that he's a recovering alcoholic and the tape was made to show him what he can be like under the influence of alcohol.
"I have learned from it and I am back on my game," he said then.
A message left Monday for Hasselhoff's attorney, Melvin Goldsman, was not immediately returned.
Attorney Debra Opri, who represents Bach, said her client was upset about the release of the tape and stunned by her former husband's behavior in front of their daughter.
"She's devastated the videotape was put out in the press," Opri said. "When a mother hears this from her daughter, what does she think? 'I haven't protected my daughters.'"
The syndicated entertainment shows said the tape was made about three months ago by Hasselhoff's 16-year-old daughter, Taylor-Ann, in his home in Las Vegas, where the former Baywatch star had been appearing in a stage version of The Producers.
On the tape, a girl's voice is heard saying: "Dad, you need to promise me you're not gonna get alcohol tonight, OK?"
"If you get alcohol tonight, you're fired from your show tomorrow," the girl continues. "And a doctor's coming over here in the morning to check your alcohol level and if there's any alcohol in your system you're gonna be fired from the show. Tomorrow. You hear me? No alcohol."
"OK," Hasselhoff replies in a slurred voice.
Hasselhoff filed for divorce from Bach last year after 16 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Bach, 43, filed her own divorce papers, also citing irreconcilable differences.
In addition to Taylor-Ann, they have a 14-year-old daughter. The couple share joint custody of the girls, Opri said.

Problem with shaders on imported obj. files...
Good Morning,
I have created some objects in Sketchup and exported them as obj files. When I import them into DS4 Pro, they come in perfectly (except for having to resize). The main problem is that when I apply a texture or shader, it doesn't seem to work properly. The Sketchup object's surface changes to a pale imitation of the base color of the shader applied, but does not show any detail, bump, or displacement even though the settings and maps in the Surface tab show they are all correct. As an experiment, I imported a simple cube obj and then created one directly in DS. I applied the same shader to both and made sure that the Surface settings were exactly the same. The DS cube looked great, but the obj cube turned light gray (the base color of the shader) but did nothing else. Even rendered, the image didn't change. Can anybody please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong? I'm trying to post a screen capture, but my system isn't cooperating this morning.
I am using DS 188.8.131.52 Pro.

Do UV map your objects.
Bejaymac Posts: 1,179
You need to make sure that what you export from Sketchup has been UV mapped, otherwise all you get is the color from the top left pixel in your texture.

Thanks guys,
I am currently slapping myself on the forehead and thinking "how could I have missed that?" Too many hours, too much caffine, and too much time away from 3d I guess.
Thanks again!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
you nj has crap waves unless its frickin at least 12 foot, i am 14 years old, just moved to hawaii and there is where the waves are beastly, and by the way i hate bodyboarders either learn to surf or get out
Wtf Dude
Yo dude i don't know how the hell you came up with thinking that bodyboarders suck?! ****ing bodyboarders are a lot more insane I think and KNOW then surfers. I am one. Do you see bodyboarders just cut down a wave and try to spray someone, or do some lil' minuscule cutback,or try to get in a barrel they would never get out of?!?!?!?! HELL NO B!!!! We get heaving or tight ass hell barrels when we can and WE KNOW IT and we can do A LOT OF MORE sicker airs and spins. Now I noticed you just moved out to Hawaii...WHATEVER!!! That may be the best location in the U.S. to get waves, but NJ gets its share as well. In Hawaii, you pretty much have to wait for the winter to get GREAT waves. In NJ, Spring, Fall, and WINTER have all sick periods of fun as hell waves! Also, the whole fun of bodyboarding in winter is going in the winter in cold as hell water because then you think you can do anything. And the days that are unbelievably good in Hawaii, make up in a day or week of PERFECT waves here in the Garden State, So **** off!!! And learn some respect!!! Don't EVER come 'round here with that attitude dude or you'll get a ****ing beating. NJ AND BB's RULE. PEACE BRAH.

The John Madejski Fine Rooms will open to the public next year, housing works by Hockney, Constable and Gainsborough.
It took four years to restore the 18th Century suite at Burlington House, in London's Piccadilly.
John Madejski, who funded 50% of the revamp, said he was delighted to help return it to its "former splendour".
He added: "The rooms are architecturally magnificent and it gives me enormous pleasure that the public will soon have the opportunity to enjoy these extraordinary treasures."
The Royal Academy will display little-known pieces from its art collection in the Neo-Palladian suite.
Its Burlington House refurbishment project began more than a decade ago.
The next stage is to catalogue the Royal Academy collection, built up since 1768, and to complete online access to all its works by 2007.

NEW YORK - With less than a week to go before $85 billion in automatic government spending cuts kick in, Wall Street is holding its nerve.
The Dow Jones industrial average has gained 6.8 percent since the start of the year as investors largely ignored the latest installment of Washington's budget drama. The Dow Jones climbed close to its record level at the start of the month and the Standard & Poor's 500 notched up a streak of seven straight weeks of gains, before easing back last week. It's still up 6.3 percent this year.
Wall Street is betting that the cuts, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates will take 0.6 of a percentage point of economic growth this year and cost 750,000 jobs, won't be enough to derail the recovery. Investors may also have become used to Washington brinkmanship, having seen last-minute deals brokered after a series of standoffs.
David Bianco, chief U.S. equities strategist at Deutsche Bank, says the automatic spending cuts could actually be a "net positive" for stocks, despite the drag that they would put on the economy.
That's because a set of known, measurable spending cuts is better than no budget reduction at all.
"Significant spending cuts are needed," Bianco says. "Until that happens, people are going to worry that this is still a problem that needs to be solved."

Voters will decide fate of Walker's bill
The legal drama playing out in Madison over the future of collective bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin is beginning to look like an early spring training baseball game scorecard.
It's cluttered and confusing, with many players, some of whom are playing multiple positions.
Let's look at the lineup and try to sort out where this is going.
Gov. Scott Walker led off this fracas with by proposing a budget repair bill to close a $3.6 billion deficit by revoking the collective bargaining rights for thousands of public employees in the state.
Walker's Republican comrades in the legislature batted next, carving out the collective bargaining rights issue into a separate resolution that was approved with less than two hours notice by a conference committee and then adopted by both houses, bypassing the 14 Senate Democrats who had fled to Illinois.
Wisconsin Secretary of State Douglas La Follette, a Democrat, was up next, opting to wait the maximum 10 business days before publishing Walker's bill.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne, a Democrat, then stepped up to the plate and filed a complaint against the bill, alleging the Republicans had violated the state's open meetings act.
Dane County Circuit Court Maryann Sumi (who was appointed to the bench by former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson) then granted a temporary restraining order against the bill.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, a Republican, countered by filing for an injunction against the restraining order. Ironically, Van Hollen's petition is filed legally on behalf of La Follette -- against La Follette's will.
La Follette urged all parties to "work together and talk to each other to come up with a solution to the current situation that serves the public trust in our institutions of government."
Van Hollen claims that Sumi has no jurisdiction intervening in the state legislative process.
Next up was the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, which ordered Ozanne to submit a memorandum regarding "the authority of the judiciary to enjoin the secretary of state from publishing an act." The court is asking for additional responses to be filed by Ozanne by Wednesday at 4 p.m.
The Court of Appeals consists of five justices, three of whom were randomly assigned to hear this case. The three justices hearing the case are: Judge Paul Higginbotham, a former Dane County judge who is widely regarded as left-leaning; Judge Paul Lundsten, a former assistant attorney general who is widely regarded as a conservative; and Judge Brian Blanchard, a former Dane County district attorney whom sources say may "lean to the left," but whom is widely regarded as a pragmatic judge who does not let his politics supersede his interpretations of the law.
In other words, Blanchard is the wild card who could decide this case on the appellate level.
However, no matter the appellate decision, with so much at stake, this case will certainly go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
That means that the electorate ultimately will decide this case in the April 5 election. In effect, a vote for conservative David Prosser will be a vote for affirming Walker's bill to revoke the collective bargaining rights of public employees. A vote for left-learning Joanne Kloppenburg will be a vote against Walker's bill and for affirming those collective bargaining rights.
And with so much at state, both sides will be bombarding the broadcast airwaves with nasty commercials, fueled on one side by groups such as the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the Club for Growth Wisconsin and Americans for Prosperity and fueled on the other side by the labor unions and the Greater Wisconsin Political Fund.
So, what's it going to be, Wisconsin?

BrewCity, I wasn't trying to deny that some of the dues money goes to political activity. I was replying to taxpayer29's complaint that said money goes only to the Democrats--and pointing out that such a complaint could be nullified if the Republicans half-tried.

"Gov. Scott Walker led off this fracas with by proposing a budget repair bill to close a $3.6 billion deficit by revoking the collective bargaining rights for thousands of public employees in the state." False. Governor Doyle led off the fracas by putting us in this position in the first place by allowing the unions and public employee benefits to run rampant, and by borrowing money, raiding funds, and taxing the private sector to make up the fiscal differences.

Willia, It seems to me that all that article says is that a PAC has to be established to act as an intermediary between the union and the funds. Also, it goes on to say that union members can request refunds for dues used in political activities... That sounds like political funding to me. So what if dues can't be directly given to candidates; it sounds like they can be given to a PAC, which can run adds, knock on doors, and make donations.

Any serious legal mind knows that what Sumi did was wrong. This is merely a delay tactic for local governments to extend contracts. Even if the Open Meetings Law was violated, which it wasn't (See Senate Rules), it does not invalidate a law. The WI Supreme Court has opined on this in the past.

Taxpayer, read the second item here: http://www.milwaukeenewsbuzz.com/?p=527720 Dues money cannot fund candidates. Also, union members can get a refund of money paid that went to political advocacy. IMO, if Republicans are sore that unions mostly support Democrats (maybe because all that corporate money that funds Repubs' campaigns just isn't enough), then Repubs should compete for union money by doing more for the average worker. People and organizations support they candidates they feel are working for their interests. Last, if most of us can have charitable contributions deducted from paychecks, why shouldn't that be an option for union dues? Let the individual workers decide whether to opt in or out of a payroll deduction. If that hacks off the union bigwigs, so be it.

|Ken Blaze- USA Today Sports
Going into any season it can be tough to predict who is set-up to play poorly and maybe it is an exercise in futility. When the end of the season comes around, feel free to shout me out on Twitter and tell me how wrong I was in relation to this year's "Twins Bust Candidates."
Tyler Duffey, RHP
Duffey pitched well for the while the Twins were still in the postseason hunt. He finished the year boasting a 5-1 record with a very respectable 3.10 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Call it the "Scott Diamond Effect" but it seems unlikely for him to keep up this pace into the 2016 campaign. He was never considered one the organization's top pitching prospects as he averaged 7.4 SO/9 and a 3.73 ERA over four minor league seasons.
Can the Twins get by with Duffey as a back of the rotation starter? Sure, he can fit into this role. Baseball Reference projects him to compile a 3.64 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP in just under 90 innings of work. Both of these totals would be better than his minor league track record and he hasn't exactly been light's out this spring as he works on his change-up. With top pitching prospect Jose Berrios in the wings, it seems likely that Duffey could find himself out of a starting spot at some point this season.
Glen Perkins, LHP
Perkins has made the All-Star Game in each of the last three seasons and he's even been asked to close out the game for the AL each of the last two years. However, the end of last season was a little rough for the Twins closer as he tried to play through injury and posted some poor numbers along the way. World Series legend Jack Morris even hinted that Perkins might not exactly be in shape in a Twin Cities radio interview last year.
While Perkins has been able to accumulate over 30 saves in each of the last three seasons, his other numbers have been on the decline. His first three years in the bullpen he posted a 2.45 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP and 10.2 SO/9. The last two years those numbers have declined to a 3.49 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and 9.1 SO/9. Perkins turned 33 at the beginning of March and the organization has a young core of bullpen arms working their way towards Target Field. If the recent trend continues, the team might have to look at other options.
Kurt Suzuki, C
Suzuki has been on the decline for most of the last year and a half so to say he will be a bust at this point in his career might not be too big of a stretch. After hitting .309/.365/.396 in his first 65 games with the Twins, he would go on to hit .259/.323/.339 in the second half of 2014. Last season was even worse as he finished the year hitting .240/.296/.314 while taking a beating behind the plate. He had the lowest caught stealing percentage (15%) of any AL catcher with at least 600 innings behind the dish.
The Twins had to add some depth to the catching ranks and they were able to do that this offseason. Minnesota has been clear that Suzuki is their starter and he should be to reward him for his work with the pitching staff over the last couple years. However, John Ryan Murphy will likely start to play more frequently as the season progresses. This could help Suzuki's performance if he isn't out there for over 130 games but it's hard to know how much he has left in the tank. His days as a starting catcher could be coming to an end
Who do you think is set-up to bust this season? Leave a COMMENT and start the discussion.

Nearly one year ago I seeded an article about Mark Boyle, a former business man who had experimented with living without money for a year and enjoyed it so much he had vowed to continue that way permanently. And indeed it seems that he is still living in rural England in the little trailer he obtained from Freecycle.org, where he continues to grow some of his own food, to forage in the wild for things like berries, nuts and mushrooms, and to manage to get processed foods by scavenging through restaurant and supermarket waste. According to last year's article, Boyle planned to publish a book he had written about his experiences:
"Ironically, they say I'm going to make quite a bit of money from it."
"But what am I going to do with it? Should I give it away? And will I have to open a bank account? It's stressing me out!"
The book, Moneyless Man: A Year of Freeconomic Living, has just been published in the USA. Not only has he figured out how he can use the money to maintain his "freegan" lifestyle, he plans on using it to help others who want to do the same:
...Boyle...was making plans to buy land with the royalties from the book—his only cash transaction in the last two years—to start a moneyless community.
[BOYLE:] "All the proceeds of the book are going into a trust to buy land for the first community and hopefully subsequent communities as well. In a kind of similar way, back in the day, slaves would buy their way out of slavery so the kids could be free. We're buying pockets of land out of the money economy and then using that land for workshops and courses for free for people who will come along and experience moneyless living and learn all the skills of moneyless living.
"We get about 100 emails a week from people wanting to stay. I'm starting with a core group of those people whom I know and whom I've built up a relationship with for the last few years. So it's about 14 who are bringing the project forward. We're going to build capacity for 20 people and roughly 8 of those people are going to be permanent, and probably another 8 will be kind of transient. We're trying to build in an entry level for people who want to experience it. So if people aren't ready to make the whole step, they can come for a weekend or come for a month, or come for two months."
Of course Boyle is not the first person to try to put "freeconomic" theories into practive. Fourteen years ago Heidemarie Schwermer of Germany began a somewhat similar experiment, which turned into a lifestyle she still maintains as she approaches 70 years of age. In 2001 Schwermer published, Das Sterntalerexperiment - mein Leben ohne Geld (The Sterntaler Experiment-My Life Without Money), which inspired documentary film-maker Line Halvorsen to make an English-language 'cinema verite' film about her lifestyle. The movie, which is supposed to be released this year, is called Living Without Money.
Schwermer relies mostly on trading and bartering to support herself, while the most well known American "freegan" Daniel Suelo tries to forgo bartering and survive by scavenging, foraging, fishing, and hunting. Suelo, who stopped using money in the autumn of 2000 and lives in a cave near Moab, Utah, uses a public libray to maintain a blog, Moneyless World - Free World - Priceless World.
Boyle and Schwermer also have websites: The FreeEconomyCommunity and www.HeidemarieSchwermer.com (in German).
Boyle also started a YouTube Channel: The Freeconomy Community Channel. Not available on this channel, but available elsewhere on YouTube is this video report on Boyle by the Guardian.co.uk.

Did crank seal with out getting go ahead when I asked when I called to find out how the job was going to be told crank seal was leaking and had been replaced I asked how much extra it was going to be to be told there was no extra charge and job was almost finished . When I got back to the garage the job was finished the invoice was handed to me with the price of the seal on it which was only another £12 which we hadn't planed for paying out so managed to scrap that extra when complained invoice was amended to the quoted price then I asked what oil was put in the gearbox to be told 2 different story's one being castrol 70w/90 oil then when I said it was the wrong oil was told the old oil was put back in which would have been mixed with the ird box oil which is a different grade to the gearbox , the correct oil for the gearbox is mtf94 or only equivalent is an 75w/80 api-gl4 spec oil now where the oil is to thick when cold it's hard to engage any gear till warmed up so has ended up with me having to replace the oil for the correct grade at a cost of £36 just for the gearbox oil .

Top service ! Thank you Inline Automotive Solutions !
Needed my car fixed urgently and this garage was very helpful right from the start. I assumed that the oil sump gasket was leaking so i wanted it replaced. I also needed a new flexi pipe welded on the dpf as my existing one was cracked. The morning after i dropped my car i recieived a phone call to advising me that the oil leak is coming from the oil filter cooler and not the gasket. They fixed it in no time and also continued to replace the oil sump gadket for me as its a common fault on the car. Price at £340 to replace oil sump gasket, oil filter housing union pipes and unweld and reweld on a new dpf is excellent. My car no longer leaks oil and theres no rattling from under the car. I am well happy and if i need my car fixed will be definately going back. Also not only did they tell me what parts had broken they also showed me aswell which was a really nice touch. I would recommend this garage. Thank you inline automotive solutions They was able to fit me in and was able to find the oil leak with my car and fix i

Title: Orenstein & Koppel (O & K), 1913 and n. d.
Creator: Orenstein & Koppel (1876-1999)
Extent: 0.05 Linear Feet
Arrangement: Group 1, Machinery Records, is arranged by subseries, record format, record type, machine class, machine model, and publication date (where known).
Languages: English
This collection consists of sales and service literature discussing the company's products, and clippings discussing its history.
Arthur Koppel and Benno Orenstein formed the partnership of Orenstein & Koppel (O & K) in Berlin, Germany, Apr 1 1876. Circa 1885, the Arthur Koppel Company was formed to represent O & K's business overseas. In 1905 or 1906, Koppel built an industrial railroad car plant in Koppel, Pennsylvania. After Arthur Koppel died in 1908, his company and O & K operated for a time under the names of "Orenstein-Arthur Koppel Company" and "Orenstein & Koppel & Arthur Koppel Company" before returning to the O & K name.
When the United States entered World War I, many of the Pennsylvania plant's German managers were arrested. The company's American assets were seized by the U. S. Government and sold to Pressed Steel Car Company, which operated them as a new subsidiary, Koppel Industrial Car & Equipment. Koppel Industrial Car ceased operations in 1937, and its assets were sold at auction the next year.
In April 1998, O & K either sold its large hydraulic excavator and shovel line to Terex Corporation (Collection 532), or was acquired outright by Terex.

The support database in Genbox 4 works differently than the initialization
database in the current version: Genbox keeps the support database open and
uses the data for things like providing the autocomplete on place name
entry. Unlike version 3, only the place names that are actually used by the
user are copied into the user's database, which starts with no place data.
This design allows Genbox to have a much larger number on known place names
without impacting the size of the user's database.
World place name data is available online from a number of sources; I'm just
working on the hierarchies to make them compatible.

Volume 9, Issue 1: Poetics
Douglas Wilson
Ash on an old man's sleeve
Is all the ash the burnt roses leave.
Dust in the air suspended
Marks the place where a story ended.
"Little Gidding"
--T.S. Eliot
Our minds are covenantal. Whether we want to affirm "covenant" theology or not, the fact remains that God always deals with men by means of covenant. He has created us in such a way that we cannot respond to Him, or deal with anyone or anything in the world, apart from covenantal categories. But this word covenant is not to be repeated as some kind of Reformed mantra--the word refers to something which, if understood, provides a principle of explanation for everything. And this includes art.
For don't you mark? we're made so that we love
First when we see them painted, things we have passed
Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see;
And so they are better, painted--better to us,
Which is the same thing. Art was given for that;
God uses us to help each other so,
Lending our minds out.

Miami • Gio Gonzalez munched on chicken wings and shrimp scampi at a sports bar in his hometown as he watched Team USA rally to stay alive in the World Baseball Classic.
The next game he'll take in from the mound. The Washington Nationals' left-hander will start for the United States in its opener of round two Tuesday night against Puerto Rico.
The U.S. team rallied with seven runs in the last two innings Sunday to advance by beating Canada 9-4 in Phoenix. Gonzalez wasn't with the team in Arizona. He left the Nationals' camp in central Florida before the U.S. game Sunday to make the three-hour drive south to Miami.
"I was so confident they were going to win," he said. "I was ready to go."
Gonzalez grew up in Hialeah, a short drive from Marlins Park, the site of the second round.
"To be a small town kid from Hialeah, Fla., pitching in Miami and representing Team USA, that says it all," he said. "It's a kid's dream."
The Dominican Republic will face Italy in an afternoon game Tuesday, followed by Team USA against Puerto Rico.
In Tokyo on Monday, Kalian Sams' ninth-inning sacrifice fly scored Andruw Jones with the winning run, capping a comeback from a two-run, eighth-inning deficit and lifting the Netherlands past Cuba 7-6 and into the WBC semifinals. The Netherlands, the first European team to reach the final four, advanced along with two-time defending champion Japan. At the semifinals in San Francisco on March 17-18, they will be joined by two teams from among the United States, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Italy.

Zack Greinke was scratched from his spring training start for the Dodgers against Milwaukee in Phoenix and went to Los Angeles to have his sore right elbow examined. Greinke, signed to a $147 million, six-year contract in December, felt discomfort while throwing Sunday.

Transcript for Ben Folds on Working with Nick Hornby
Jim Fleming: Ben Folds is a singer-songwriter from North Carolina. He used to have his own band, "Ben Folds Five," but in more recent years Folds has struck out on his own and released solo albums full of witty lyrics accompanied by his evocative piano playing. He recently joined forces with Nick Hornby, the critically acclaimed novelist from England, and the two collaborated on an album called "Lonely Avenue." As you might guess, Hornby wrote the lyrics and Folds wrote the music. To the Best of Our Knowledge producer Doug Gordon talked to Folds about working with Hornby to create Lonely Avenue.
Doug Gordon: Ben Folds and Nick Hornby have been friends since the mid 1990s.
Ben Folds: We were mutual fans early on. I was reading his first novels and he was listening to my first records. He was at our first gig in London.
And I did know that, but I was very nervous because I was reading "High Fidelity" at the time.
Gordon: In Songbook Hornby hit high praise on Ben Folds song "Smoke."
Hornby wrote: "Smoke is one of the cleverest, wisest songs about the slow death of a relationship, that I know."
At the time, Hornby did not know that the lyrics were written by Folds but by Anna Goodman, Folds' ex-wife. Folds knew right away how special the lyrics were.
Folds: I knew that they were good lyrics, what's funny about this was they weren't even my lyrics; because I normally write my lyrics. She's a great writer. She writes letters that read that way. She just can't help it. I guess I've been with Anna since I was five years old, you know. I remember, she played piano as well. She was playing piano in the first grade after school. If I was after school I could hear her playing, like, ragtime and made me want to play piano, so she was actually a big influence. Yeah, I know what she writes is great, and it gets better each time. I mean, each time I play it, literally, I find something else in it.
Folds [on recording]: Leaf by Leaf page by page/ Throw this book away/ All the sadness all the rage/ Throw this book away
Rip out the binding, and tear the glue/ All of the grief we never even knew/ We had it all along/ Now it's smoke.
Gordon: Folds contributed to the power of "Smoke" by creating a poignant melody, in waltz time. Did he know, from the beginning, that it was going to be in 3/4 time?
Folds: It implied that but I think you can put lyrics in lots of time signatures in lots of phrasing. There's so many possibilities. When you see a page and it's just got words. And this is the way I was working with Nick: he sent me an email that had completed lyrics in it, and I just find, looking for the melody that brings out the most in the lyrics, that doesn't step on them, which is really easy to do.
Gordon: Each of the songs on Lonely Avenue is a story told from a different character's point of view; which isn't surprising since Hornby is a novelist, but Folds also writes a lot of songs featuring characters.
Folds: I like characters. I mean, characters are harder to write in songs, you need more space, more time, to do it. That's why, you know, when you hear story songs, the folk songs, they might have, like, eight verses, and the verses are fairly simple and they keep repeating and repeating, and that gives you a chance to just concentrate on the lyrics and let them build, you know.
The detail is very important, and it's a three-and-a-half minute song; if you've only got a few verses, if you're going to build a character, it needs to be implied through those little moments that resonate. And one has to have a really good instinct of what those are. Obviously, Nick does.
Folds [on recording]: Woke up this morning, what do I see?/ Three thousand cameras, pointed at me./ Dude says, "You Levi?'/ I'm like, "Yes, that's me, sir."/ Well, you just knocked up the VP nominee's daughter." So I tell him, "No. You got it wrong, mister. "Already got a girl and her name's Bristol." / And they all laugh and say, "Where you been, sonny? Your mother-in-law's a heartbeat from the presidency." So, I say mother-in-law No - we ain't getting married."/ They say, soon you will, boy; she just announced it."/I get on my dirt bike and ride to my girl's home,/ I'm going to lay down the law...tell her what's going on.
Man: That's a song called "Levi Johnson's Blues."
Folds: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Gordon: One of the most beautiful songs on Lonely Avenue is a ballad called "Belinda." The book that accompanies this CD includes an email that Folds sent to Hornby about how hard it was to set the lyrics for Belinda to music.
Folds: Many things about the song came very easily: the chorus came easily. The problem was that he quoted the chorus in the first verse - in fact, in the second line in the first verse. That's a problem, because you've given away the place that you're going, but there aren't many places to go on a pop song, and you've kind of taken the place that we're all going really early. So, I had to figure out a way to make it basically the same melody, weaken the chords a little bit, and then find a way in the chorus, to make you feel that it was a surprise. Because that's what's great about the chorus: it lifts you, and it's... There's something that's some sort of lift, or surprise.
So I set the chorus, I think, sort of late by a couple of beats or half a bar, or something, I can't remember what I did but I had to mess around with these things to make it work.
The other thing is that the chorus was supposed to be... He's quoting a chorus - fictitious on this, supposed to be a massive hit from the early 70s. That means that my chorus, if the melody didn't sound like a massive hit from the 70s, I failed. So, I really had to do all those things. So, that took a little bit more time.
Folds [on recording]: Every night around this time
He has to sing 'Belinda'
"Belinda, I love you
Don't leave me, I need you"
He tried to stop a while back
But what is he without her?
A one hit wonder with no hits is what he is
And anyway
He always hears how much it means to people
There's a lot of forty-somethings
Who wouldn't be in the world without it
So now he does it with this lyric in his head
Belinda, I loved you
I'm sorry that I left you
I met somebody younger on a plane
She had big breasts
A nice smile
No kids either
She gave me complimentary champagne...
Gordon: I was curious. Part of the challenge was that Folds was dealing with Hornby's words rather than his own. Folds said, in a Time Magazine interview, a few years ago, that he always wants to push the barrier a little bit with lyrics, and he didn't have the chance to do that here. But Folds didn't see that as an issue.
Folds: Just in his style he's already pushing something. There's a thumbprint about his writing that, I think, is pretty obvious in the first few lines of each song. In "Being Nick Hornby," in my opinion, he's already pushing it. I don't need to be the one that writes the lyrics, the music is inspired to me by how I feel about what's happening. It's like interpretative dance would be for some people or maybe, you know, like a child has made a drawing of, you know, a witch make him clean up his room, and it's raining, and... you know, he's sad. And I'm like, "Why are you sad Johnny?" " Yeah, I don't know why I'm sad. I'm just... "
And you can interpret these things, and music is like that for me. The problem is when I write the music first it's coming out of the way that I feel. But I'm not exactly sure, any more than the child is sure why he drew that picture and it's my job to find the lyrics, which I think is very difficult.
With Nick, he's already painted a world for me. So, I read those; I sit inside them, and then I create the music that.... and then the whole thing is finished.
Gordon: Since Folds is from North Carolina, and Hornby is from England, I was curious about whether Hornby's lyrics included and British vernacular that Folds had trouble with.
Folds: There could have been, but Nick's really good at writing for characters. And I think he realized that I was singing. You know this is the odd reference to a place in London, like in Picture Window, but he's pretty good at that. I mean like long way down, he's got four or six characters going at one time from completely different walks of life - and three of them I think are American... It's all believable, he's really good at that. He probably could have thrown me a curveball if he wanted to be; but he was being kind.
Folds [on recording]: They checked into the hospital New Year's Eve,/ Nothing to be done about that./ Rainbows, daffodils; she's not naïve./Symbolism's all crap./ There's a big picture window in their room,/ On the ward, with a view of a parliament hill,/ But the view offers more joy than they can afford/ When there's this much pain to kill./You know what hope is?/ / Hope is a bastard. /Hope is a liar,
A cheat and a tease.
Hope comes near you?
Kick its backside.
Got no place in days like these.
At dusk the darkness surrenders to color
As the fireworks streak the sky,
And their window gives them the prettiest picture.
Their useless luck makes her want to cry.
Then it turns midnight, the shitty old year spent,
Another Mom gives her some sparkling wine,
And she nearly gives in to the moment,
But he'll still be sick in 2009.
You know what hope is?
Hope is a bastard.
Hope is a liar,
A cheat and a tease.
Hope comes near you?
Kick its backside.
Got no place in days like these.
Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down
A rocket bursts in front of her eyes
The city lit up like a crown on London
And she tries and fails to stop spirits rise
You know what hope is?
Hope is a bastard.
Hope is a liar,
A cheat and a tease.
Hope comes near you?
Kick its backside.
Got no place in days like these.
You know what hope is?
Hope is a bastard
Hope is a liar
A cheat and a tease
Hope comes near you?
Kick its backside.
Got no place in days like these.
Gordon: In this clip from a promotional video for Lonely Avenue, Hornby and Folds talk about how they think the album turned out.
Folds: The record sounds a lot better than I imagined it would. I imagined this to be more of a side project feel in every way that.... and that that would be, really, a cool thing that would be good; it would be something, we would both be posing against the white background like that, like, it would be a coffee shop record in this way.
Hornby: But it would just be one coffee shop.
[both laugh]
Folds: Yeah, one place, yeah. We'd just be... And we'd be sitting at the table, actually selling ourselves.
Fleming: Ben Folds collaborated with Nick Hornby on the album "Lonely Avenue." Folds spoke with the Best of Our Knowledge producer Doug Gordon.
