Opportunistic Yanks ride big rally past Red Sox
Jeter ignites four-run rally; Tex hits team-leading 19th homer
BOSTON -- If the Yankees are to accomplish their goal of being present in the postseason race, now that their final third of the season has officially started, they'll need to take advantage of whatever opportunities come their way.
Three straight walks by a rookie starter would qualify as one of those chances, flashing in neon orange. The Yankees did not miss it, as they sent 10 men to the plate in a four-run third inning to spark a 6-4 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday at Fenway Park.
"You aren't always going to hit the ball hard, get a lot of hits or score a lot of runs," Yankees captain Derek Jeter said. "When you do, hopefully it lasts for as long as possible. You can always feel like you have a hit streak coming, but you have to go out and do it."
With Allen Webster struggling to throw strikes, Jeter punched a two-run double into shallow right field and Jacoby Ellsbury tied the game with a run-scoring groundout.
"You know you have to take advantage," manager Joe Girardi said. "We were able to do it. Whenever you get three free baserunners with nobody out, you've got to do something."
Carlos Beltran gave New York the lead with an RBI single off Webster, who was pulled after 2 2/3 innings and issuing six walks in his ninth career Major League start.
"I felt really good and in control of the game in the first two innings," Webster said. "Then, I really struggled with my release point in the third and never got back to finding it."
The Yankees squeezed a 4 2/3-inning start out of rookie Shane Greene, though the right-hander had them concerned after a three-run second inning that prompted activity in the visiting bullpen.
"I was kind of in my own head for a little bit," Greene said. "I felt good. I was just trying to make perfect pitches. I just had to go back to my game plan and attack guys."
Mike Napoli belted a two-run homer over the Green Monster ("That Napoli pitch, I said, 'Hey, let's see how far you can hit it. He let me know how far he could hit it,'" Greene joked) and Christian Vazquez knocked an RBI single in the frame.
Greene could laugh about it later because he went back to work with a one-run lead, impressing Girardi by making it stand up. Greene's outing concluded with him scattering six hits and two walks, while recording five strikeouts. He has allowed three runs or fewer in four of five starts this year.
"You've got to remember, he is a young kid and a lot of this is all new for him," Girardi said. "The most impressive thing for me was that he made the adjustment, and that's what you want to see."
Shawn Kelley worked 1 1/3 strong innings of relief to earn the victory, striking out three.
Boston trimmed the deficit back to two in the seventh, as David Ortiz lifted a sacrifice fly against Dellin Betances, bringing home Brock Holt with a run that was charged to Adam Warren.
Betances then retired the next four batters he faced, hitting triple digits on the Fenway radar gun, and David Robertson bounced back from a troubled outing against the Rangers in Texas to secure his 28th save of the season.
"Today was one of our good days," Robertson said. "Kelley, Adam and Betances, they've been really good all year. We had a tough time in Texas. We still managed to win that ballgame, but it's nice for us to do what we're supposed to do -- keep the runs down and give our team a real opportunity to win ballgames."
Mark Teixeira connected for his team-leading 19th home run of the season in the fifth inning, clearing Lansdowne Street with a solo blast off Craig Breslow.
New Yankee Martin Prado went 1-for-3 in the win and Stephen Drew also notched his first Yankees hit with a run-scoring double off Alex Wilson in the seventh. Drew has played a solid second base in his first two career games at the position following Thursday's trade.
"It is coming along," Drew said. "I've been here two games. It will be an adjustment. The more games I get there, the more comfortable I will feel."
With the rubber game of the series ahead on Sunday night, Girardi said that he hopes to salvage what started out as a disappointing road trip with two losses to the cellar-dwelling Rangers. Saturday's performance offered encouragement to that end.
"I thought we actually swung the bats better than six runs," Girardi said. "That's what you want to see. When you start seeing consistent, hard contact, you're going to score runs."

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm Reviews
Don't bother with these...When I just saw these, I thought it was a great idea, and the colour range was not too bad, so I prepared to fall in love... I got two of them, one in "Forbidden" and the other one - I can't remember the name, because it dried out and went into trash almost immediately after I purchased it... First of all, not true to colour. But even that wouldn't be that much of a problem for me if I could just...read more get to use them for more than a week... One of them dried out in about a week, and the other one lasted not more than three weeks in total, before it started sort of flaking off these darkly pigmented pieces of whatever it is made out off... And the more you press (you obviously have to press because they are so dry) the more of that weird stuff you get on your lips - it's just unpleasant in every way imaginable... Basically it feels like you are trying to colour your lips with a really sharp, dry permanent marker - that's the best way I can describe it. And not only you don't like the colour (when you do manage to get something out of it), but it goes on patchy, which makes your lips look terrible either way... If this didn't dry out so quickly, the only sensible way of wearing it would be to apply as much as possible of the balm (on the opposite side of the dry marker), then dab a bit of that "ink" onto your lips and try to spread it over your lips as much and as quickly as you can... And by the way, the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars, is because I actually liked the balm side of this product... I don't know what it's made out of, but I found it very moisturising on my lips... Still, half an inch of lip moisturiser isn't worth the money that these Lipstains cost... And no, I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone. — 3 years, 10 months agoNikatron | 150 reviews

Bitten By What?I tried the Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain and wish I had saved the money. The color you think you are buying is not the color on your lips. Now getting it on your lips is difficult as well. The tip didn't dispense the product evenly and once I did get enough on, it was gone in 20 minutes. These also dried my lips out terribly!

Great Idea!This is kind of pricey for what it is but the product is designed really well so I caved in. The lip stain itself goes on easily and is kind of fun to apply.

My Reasons for Reporting This

SACRAMENTO - The California Legislature is generally regarded as a fairly progressive institution, but one group has been dropping steadily in representation for nearly a decade - women.
The number of women in the 120-member Legislature has fallen from a peak of 37 in 2006 to 32 this year. Groups that promote women running for public office are concerned the trend will continue this election year.
They also worry about how the drop-off will affect policy decisions.
Bettina Duval, president of CALIFORNIALIST, which has raised more than $1 million to support female candidates, fears women could lose three to five legislative seats this year. That would accelerate the gradual decline.
California ranked sixth in the nation in the percentage of women serving in the Legislature in 2004 but now ranks 19th.

When a routine food safety field test showed potential salmonella contamination of romaine lettuce, Pacific International Marketing was able to recover 98% of the implicated lot at the distribution center level, resulting in a voluntary recall of 19 bulk cases.
"Field tests are part of our growers' food safety plans and are required by some of our customers," said Steve Tripp, general counsel for Pacific International marketing, Salinas, Calif.
Tripp said the preliminary positive was confirmed and the company worked with officials from the Food and Drug Administration "for a couple of days" on the recall notice, which was dated July 6. The distribution centers and retailers were notified before the notice was approved by FDA.
"We inspected the area where the positive test result came from and didn't find anything unusual that would indicate a cause of the contamination," Tripp said July 11.
Tripp said no illnesses had been reported as being linked to the 19 cases of bulk romaine, which went to Vons and Pavilions grocery stores in California and Nevada. The romaine heads were available to consumers in bulk bins from July 2-4, according to the recall notice.
Pacific International Marketing officials were pleased that only 19 cases in the lot of about 1,000 cases were distributed to retailers, Tripp said. He credited the company's food safety protocols for the quick response that kept 98% of the lot from leaving distribution centers.
According to the recall notice, the bulk romaine was distributed in Pacific International's reusable plastic containers with 15 heads in each container. It has the code 12EASROM182 on the RPCs. The lettuce heads were banded with a red twist tie with "Safeway" printed on it.
The recall is only for bulk romaine distributed in RPCs. No carton or bagged romaine products are included in the recall.

Drug: Alefacept
15mg intramuscular injection weekly for 12 weeks
Other Name: Amevive
Detailed Description:
Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris (PRP) is a therapeutic challenge, and many different medication regimens exist to treat the condition. Clinical response is variable, and no single treatment has emerged as a leading therapy. Biologic agents have emerged as effective treatments for many skin diseases, including psoriasis. Given the clinical overlap between PRP and psoriasis, it is logical to attempt to use these agents for PRP. Since the majority of patients with PRP are unresponsive to current therapies, new treatment modalities must be evaluated. This study will evaluate the treatment of adult 30 years or older with a diagnosis of PRP, either subtypes 1 or 2. In this study, the safety and efficacy of alefacept will be evaluated in adult patients with PRP refractory to current treatments. Alefacept is a dimeric fusion protein containing the CD2 extracellular binding region of human leukocyte function antigen-3 (LFA-3) linked to the Fc portion of human IgG1. The drug binds to the T-lymphocyte antigen CD2 and blocks its interaction with LFA-3 on antigen presenting cells in the body. The CD2/LFA-3 interaction is a key co-stimulatory signal in the activation of T-lymphocytes central to the pathophysiology of psoriasis. It is theorized this interaction plays a role in the pathophysiology of PRP. Alefacept is currently approved for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis. The medication is administered as weekly intramuscular injections for 12 week courses. In this study, a dose of 15mg alefacept will be administered intramuscularly at weekly intervals for 12 weeks. This is the dosing regimen currently approved for the treatment of psoriasis. Patients will be followed for a total of 24 weeks.

Rays on cloud nine after shutout of Red Sox
Hellickson, four relievers blank Boston for ninth straight victory
ST. PETERSBURG -- The final score read like a pitchers' duel, but the Rays' ninth straight victory, a 3-0 win over the Red Sox on Saturday night, didn't exactly fit that description.
Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson didn't last five innings at Tropicana Field, despite holding Boston scoreless. He was pulled with two outs in the fifth -- and David Ortiz looming -- after throwing 96 pitches, walking two and allowing five hits.
"It just came back to Papi," manager Joe Maddon said. "Ortiz has got this tremendous flair for the dramatic, and I didn't want to see that tonight."
Hellickson's counterpart, John Lackey, made it through seven, but not before allowing four walks and eight hits and giving up all three runs.
Both pitchers, in fact, characterized their outing as "pretty good," and really, that's what they were -- pretty good, but not good enough to dominate, like David Price and Jon Lester did for long stretches in Friday's series opener.
"I wish I could have went longer than one more out than I did last time, but when David throws eight innings every single game, that bullpen's ready to go," Hellickson said. "I've got to get ahead of guys a lot better. I fell behind too much, threw way too many pitches those first two innings. I made a big pitch when I needed to, that was a positive."
Hellickson and Lackey weren't good enough, either, to keep a 3-0 game from lasting almost three and a half hours. That was due to the sheer number of runners who got aboard -- and stayed there.
Through four innings, the Rays had stranded six runners. Through six, the Red Sox stranded eight. The Rays grounded into two inning-ending double plays. So did the Red Sox -- although one was an unusual 4-3-2 twin killing, turned when first baseman James Loney threw out Brock Holt trying to score from second on a hard Ortiz groundout into the shift in right field.
Even with the short outing from their starter, the double plays and the runners left on base, the Rays continued their roll. They're within two games of .500 at 51-53, and they're 27-11 since June 10, the best mark in baseball. They moved to within 6 1/2 games of American League East-leading Baltimore and 3 1/2 games of the second AL Wild Card spot, the closest they've been in both races since May.
"It was really hard to drive the ball off [Lackey]," said Ben Zobrist, who was the only Rays hitter who did -- his seventh-inning solo homer gave Tampa Bay its final run. "We scratched and clawed and got a few knocks and were able to push some runs across."
The first of those runs came early. Desmond Jennings dropped down a bunt leading off the first inning and scampered all the way to third when Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez threw the ball away down the right-field line. He scored two batters later on Matt Joyce's single grounded through the right side.
Tampa Bay added a run in the fourth when Kevin Kiermaier drove in Yunel Escobar from second with a single to left-center. Two pitches prior, the Red Sox looked like they had Escobar picked off, when Vazquez caught him too far off the base and threw behind him, but he was called safe and Boston manager John Farrell didn't challenge.
"Yeah, a challenge would have been nice there," Lackey said. "Looked like he was pretty out."
The Red Sox came close to scoring several times. In the top of the first, Ortiz thought he had a solo home run off Hellickson, but it was called back for fan interference and Big Papi was awarded a ground-rule double. A Red Sox fan had reached over the right-field wall to catch the ball.
With Dustin Pedroia on first and two outs in the fifth, Ortiz ripped a ball marked for the right-field corner, which likely would have scored Pedroia. But Loney, holding Pedroia on, was just in position to snag the rope, ending the inning.
And in the sixth, Boston got runners to first and third with no outs when Evan Longoria and Escobar miscommunicated on Jonny Gomes' broken-bat infield dribbler, letting it roll between them into short left field. But relievers Jeff Beliveau and Grant Balfour combined for back-to-back strikeouts of Stephen Drew and Xander Bogaerts, and Balfour got Jackie Bradley Jr. to bounce out to second to end the threat.
"It's just tough pitching is what it comes down to," Zobrist said. "That happens. Those are the games you just have to find a way to do the little things and push runs across.
"Our pitchers did a great job of holding them when they were in the same position that we were in earlier. That sixth inning was really the key inning for our pitching, to shut them down there."

SANTA ANA – A Dana Point man gulped hard and looked straight ahead Wednesday as an Orange County jury found him guilty of second-degree murder for stabbing an Air Force veteran in a fight outside a Costa Mesa hotel after a New Year's Eve party.
The jury of six men and six women in Superior Court Judge Francisco Briseño's courtroom also found Adam Randy Baker, 23, guilty of attempted murder and use of a knife in the Jan. 1, 2011, early morning fight at the Hilton hotel.
Baker now faces 23 years to life in prison at his Feb. 8 sentencing.
Relatives and friends of victim Robert Sickles, 27, of Mission Viejo wept, held hands and nodded as court clerk Celida Elias read the verdicts in the 11th-floor courtroom. Baker's family and friends sat silently on the opposite side of the gallery.
"I am very proud of Robert," said his mother, Robin Sickles, through tears. "He died a hero. … I have no doubt in my mind he tried to defuse the situation."
Defense attorney Gary Pohlson said Baker did a "dopey thing, a rude thing" when he flicked a cigarette at the crowd leaving the Hilton but insisted that Baker acted in self-defense.
Deputy District Attorney Matt Murphy argued Baker did more than that.
After Sickles said, "Dude, relax," Baker escalated the confrontation by pushing, then slashing and fatally stabbing Sickles in the chest, Murphy said. When Sickles' friend Brian McTiegue tried to intervene, he was stabbed in the back, Murphy said.
The prosecutor said in closing arguments that Baker took a knife to a party to "protect his ego" and then picked a fight for no reason.
Baker, Murphy said, resorted to deadly force in a fistfight.

text: I think this holds a lot of truth. He certainly makes it interesting...but he has gone too far at times. It's awesome to have discussion topics and alternative opinions. But those opinions should be A) respectful and B) coherent. A lot of his posts have been neither and it usually results in poor sports discussion that his off topic. Moderating is a tough job in any form. I don't think he should be banned, but I hope a mod tells him to play better with others or that he learns to do this himself.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Did You Know?
The Chinese name for the Red Panda is "hunho" or firefox.
Yesterday was a bittersweet day as we said goodbye to Whispering Giant, the iconic Native American statue at PPZ. We're sad to see its end, but we're delighted that our visitors and staff could enjoy it for 37 years! What an amazing gift.
The Trail of the Whispering Giants is a collection of sculptures by Hungarian-born artist Peter Toth. Whispering Giants are created as a composite of all the physical characteristics, stories and histories of the local Native American tribe(s). There are currently 73 sculptures throughout the United States and Europe. Toth constructed the Whispering Giant at Potter Park Zoo in fall of 1975. In 2005, it underwent significant repairs which helped it stand for another seven years. Unfortunately, further natural damage was no longer preventable and led to its removal.
Do you have a special memory of the Whispering Giant? If you captured it on camera, email us your pictures at zoophotos [at] ingham [dot] org. We'll use some of them in a collage for a sign that we're creating and installing at PPZ next spring, in appreciation of Toth's gift. The sign will be part of an ongoing project to highlight the cultural significance of Potter Park Zoo's Great Lakes species to regional Native American tribes!

Boon very generously sent me a Potty Bench to review and it is one very cool, hardworking potty! The short, rectangular design makes this potty a great choice for small spaces. It can easily be pushed up against a wall or under a vanity or chair. The potty itself is very easy to use. It even has a convenient pull-out drawer for easy sanitary clean-up and also comes with a removable soft deflector shield (a must for boys!). When you close the potty lid, the deflector shield actually closes with it and tucks inside the potty opening.
The really cool thing about the Potty Bench is that it also doubles as a large, sturdy stool that holds up to 300 pounds! You just close the potty lid and it becomes a stool! This is an AWESOME feature! I am all about multi-functional products so that makes the Potty Bench a winner in my book. With the Potty Bench, there is no need to have a separate stool for the kids in the bathroom. They can just use this one and continue to use it long after they outgrow the potty. This will save space and money-gotta love that! The Potty Bench also has two enclosed side storage spaces. This is a great spot to keep potty training supplies like baby wipes, rewards, or maybe even a potty book for your child. It even has its own built-in toilet paper holder.
I do want to point out though that if you are starting to potty train an older child (like maybe 3 years old and up) then go see the potty in person first because the opening of the Potty Bench may be a bit smaller than what your child needs. For Lucas, who is 21 months old; it is not an issue at all though. So if the tushie fits then the Boon Potty Bench is an AWESOME potty! It offers parents more for their money and will be useful beyond the potty years. And, even though it has these "extras", the Potty Bench is still simply designed and will not distract potty training toddlers from the more important "task" at hand. And, I really have to applaud Boon for yet again offering parents products that are practical, functional, and pleasing to the eye!
Want It: You can buy the Boon Potty Bench at various retailers across the US and Canada or online at Amazon for $29.99 plus free shipping.

ECM Political Editor
The Minnesota Senate's top Republican leader, Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, has announced that he will not be a candidate for governor in 2014.
Thus far, four Republican candidates have entered the field. They include: Wayzata businessman Scott Honour; Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson; former House Speaker Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove; and Assistant Senate Minority Leader Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville.
Hann, a candidate for governor in 2010, indicated to ECM Publishers in early June that he would have an announcement later in the month. His announcement in a prepared statement actually came on Friday, July 5.
Hann, in his first year of his fourth term, which ends in 2016, said he relied heavily on advice and counsel from friends and family in making his decision not to seek the governorship.
During the last legislative session, Hann said he gave no consideration of whether or not to be a candidate for governor.
"I wanted to focus on what we were doing during the session before I turned attention to being a candidate or not, thus it took a bit of time," Hann said.
Hann said he was elected six months ago to serve as the leader of the Republican Senate Caucus and said he looked at the position as an important one his colleagues had asked him to fill.
Part of Hann's prepared statement speaks to his job as Senate Minority Leader: "That job deserves my full attention. In the next election, our caucus will be helping to win the majority for the House Republicans, and we will continue to work toward regaining the majority for Republicans in the Senate in 2016. I look forward to working with all our Republican candidates in 2014 and will do all I can to support them."
Hann said he is optimistic that the Republicans will do well in quest of the governor's seat and in the attempt to regain the majority in the House.
"The public has gotten a taste of DFL rule, and there is cause for concern that could cause change in the next election," Hann told ECM Publishers.
Hann was a gubernatorial candidate four years ago and said he regarded the experience a good one.
"I learned a lot and made some good friends," Hann said
As the Senate minority leader, Hann looked at the Democrats' approach in the past legislative session as being overtaxing, overspending and overreaching. The Legislature approved a $3 billion increase in spending, "and I ask, why did we do that?" Hann said.
"These taxes will hit everybody," he said. "What is the bang that citizens will get?"
Hann and wife Anne have four children.

European Flavor1 Jun, 2008 By: Bridget McCrea Response
With the Internet and technology in general continuing to chip away at traditional geographic boundaries, an increasing number of American DRTV marketers are spreading their wings and flying "across the pond" to get a taste of some of the success that companies like Thane, Guthy-Renker, ThermoSpas and Time-Life have already achieved in the region.
And while most American brand advertisers have yet to catch onto the value of European DRTV space in any significant way, Digby Orsmond, CEO and creative director at ARM Direct Ltd., in London (and member of the Response Editorial Advisory Board), says a more diverse group of DR product marketers are looking to the medium as a way to advertise their products and services.
Working in Britain, Ireland, Holland, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain and Portugal, Orsmond says several international financial services companies are currently testing DRTV in Europe for the first time. For example, Clientele, a major South African insurer, has tested DRTV spots for its 50-plus insurance product in four European countries with considerable success.
"The strength of the Euro means that it is now viable for companies to test Europe out," says Orsmond, who sees the United Kingdom (U.K.), Holland and Germany as the strongest markets in the region for American DRTV companies looking to establish a presence in Europe. Other areas also present opportunity.
"We recently had considerable success selling an insurance product in Poland as well as music products in the Czech Republic," Digby explains. "This is very encouraging as it indicates that the more recent countries that have joined the European Union (EU) — membership now numbers 27 countries — are beginning to embrace home shopping from their televisions."
Much like the U.S., those marketers who augment their DRTV campaigns with other distribution avenues are the ones that achieve their ROIs faster. At Industex in Barcelona, Spain, for example, Miguel Morales, director of sales, says, "It's not just about TV and calling the 800-number anymore. Companies are using the TV for lead generation, and rounding it out with mail order, retail and E-commerce."
Morales adds that many European DRTV companies are generating 20 to 35 percent of their overall revenues via their Web sites. Geographically speaking, Morales sees the U.K. market as a natural starting point for American companies, but says that countries like the Czech Republic and Hungary — both in Eastern Europe — are emerging as viable DRTV markets. "Still," Morales adds, "the buying power of these countries is not up to the same level as Germany, France or the U.K."
Also headquartered in Spain, Alexander A. Chacón, president and CEO of European Home Shopping (EHS) in Madrid, says Europe's traditional DRTV markets have included Germany, the U.K., France, Italy and Spain. And while each presents its own set of opportunities for American marketers, those that opt only to hit the larger markets risk missing out on chances to succeed in smaller counties.
"The biggest markets may not necessarily prove to be the 'best' for a particular American marketer," says Chacón, who advises marketers to deal with established European distributors in different markets to "gauge their interest" in marketing the particular product. "On the basis of this, the American firm may find that it's actually best to initiate a European campaign by starting in a smaller market."
Consider the fact that several marketers have sold more units in Italy or Spain, than in Germany, France and the U.K. combined, says Chacón. "Also, once a product has success in one European market, word spreads quickly and the other marketers may express interest thereafter."

Topic: Positive Update!
It's been awhile because I started back to work (teacher). The beginning of the year is CRAZY. I'm here to give a very positive update on my father. He was diagnosed in May 2012 (stage 4). He finished his 8th round of chemo on Thursday. Although chemo hasn't been pleasant for him, it wasn't horrible like other stories I have heard.
His doctor is extremely pleased. My father's liver function is normal, blood normal and even gained weight. According to the scan back in August the cancer was reacting to the chemo. He will be scanned on Oct. 4th and then the doctor will decide the next steps. My dad was in a clinical trial at the U of M which ends in November. IF the chemo shows no change since last scan he will no longer be able to be part of the clinical trial.
We (siblings) have been looking at other options. I have advised my mother to be sure she has EVERY test, scan, blood work and any other file of my father's ready to go if we decide to seek another hospital, tops on our list, MD Anderson. She is in the process of gathering those records.
I know this cancer is nasty but I am happy with these results. It has been a much more positive (if positive is even the appropriate term) journey than expected. I post this because we must hear positive journeys about this cancer. I HATE it, but for now, my dad is killing it!
PS- My daughter (2) and I pray for all of those sick with this cancer and any other ailments every night. Stay strong!!!
God Bless,

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Whether you love bathing your baby or not, keeping your baby clean is a task you will perform many, many times before you can leave him to the task!
While initial nervousness about bathing your newborn baby is common with many parents, after a while you will get used to managing your slippery baby in a confident manner - and he will learn to love splashing around in the warm water.
Most hospitals hold bathing classes that give new parents the opportunity to watch a demonstration. Depending on the hospital, you can either see this performed as part of an pre-natal parenting class, or in the hospital in the days after your delivery,
If you miss out on the opportunity to attend these classes, due to homebirth, early discharge, or illness, ask your midwife or district nurse for advice. In most cases she will be able to guide you through your first baby bath.
Babies rarely get dirty enough to need a bath every day, however, many parents like to use bath time as part of their bedtime routine. Some parents will bath every day, while ohers will 'top and tail' some days and fully bath on others. Depending on the weather, you may choose to bath your baby every couple of days, or more than once a day.
In the early days, many new parents prefer to bathe their baby when their partner is home so the job can be managed easily - and if some essential bathtime item is left in another room, there is an assistant on hand to fetch it!
Some parents especially enjoy bathing with their baby - spending some valuable skin-to-skin time together encourages bonding and is enjoyable for both parent and baby.
Bathing may also be an unexpected option if your baby is excessively soiled and there just aren't enough wipes in the world that will do the job quickly and easily!
As you should never leave your baby in the bath unattended, it is wise to have a bath time checklist on hand to ensure you have everything you need when bathing your baby. While you can use any number of sweet-smelling lotions and potions, bath time essentials include:

Freedman praises Lee for Championship goalLondon
Published: December 30 2012 - 12:16PM
Bolton manager Dougie Freedman saluted Lee Chung-Yong after the South Korea midfielder scored a stunning strike to inspire his Championship side's 3-1 win over Birmingham.
Freedman's side trailed to Nikola Zigic's early goal at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday, but Marcus Alonso equalised for the hosts before Lee scored one of the goals of the season with a superb run through the Birmingham defence followed by a fine finish.
Keith Andrews netted a penalty in the second half after Birmingham captain Steven Caldwell was ruled to have handled, but it was Lee's effort that caught Freedman's eye.
The 24-year-old missed virtually all of last season with a broken leg, but he is showing signs of returning to peak form.
"It was a wonderful goal from a wonderful player and he deserves all the credit he gets because he had a horrible injury and he's worked so hard to get back from it," Freedman said.
Lee added: "It's a long time since I scored at the Reebok Stadium because of my injury. When I score here it makes me very happy."
Huddersfield manager Simon Grayson admitted he was stunned by referee Mick Russell's blunder in the 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.
Russell made a glaring error midway through the first half when he failed to send off Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Jeremy Helan for a second yellow-card offence.
Helan, on loan from Manchester City, was booked by Russell for a 26th-minute foul on Huddersfield winger Adam Hammill, having already been shown a yellow card for diving in the penalty area in the ninth minute.
But despite animated reminders from Huddersfield players and the home bench, Russell restarted play with Helan still on the pitch.
"As we came off the pitch he came to me to apologise for the error he made," Grayson said.
"I think he's probably written the wrong number down in his book, which is staggering and I also think he should have been helped by his officials, who should be overruling because they all know, when a referee makes a mistake like that, who he's booking."
Cardiff assistant manager David Kerslake was delighted with Rudy Gestede after the French striker maintained the Welsh club's five-point lead at the top with the decisive goal in a 1-0 home win against Millwall.
Gestede scored his second goal of the season on his first start of the campaign in the eighth minute.
Hull manager Steve Bruce hailed his second placed side after they beat Leeds 2-0 at the KC Stadium.
The Tigers have taken 16 points from 18 in December and they remain one point clear of third placed Middlesbrough in the race for automatic promotion.
Elsewhere, Middlesbrough defeated Blackpool 4-2, fifth placed Leicester enjoyed a 1-0 win at Burnley and Ipswich won 2-0 at Wolves.
Barnsley sacked boss Keith Hill after a 3-1 home defeat against managerless Blackburn, while Nottingham Forest's new manager Alex McLeish had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
Watford won 3-1 at Brighton, Bristol City beat fellow strugglers Peterborough 4-2 and Charlton drew 1-1 with Derby.

Yes, I think that's why this type of dukkha is associated with neutral feeling. Because our existence and experience is conditioned and uncertain, neutral feeling will inevitably "tip over", either into pleasant feeling ( cue the suffering of change ie loss of pleasant feeling ) or into unpleasant feeling ( cue the "ordinary" suffering of pain ).
I think Sankhara-Dukkhata is of wider significance than this, although you are undoubtedly correct to say that it refers to neutral feelings and to point out that such feelings pass away and become something which frequently is worse. But if that is all it is, then it could be considered as a form of Viparinama-Dukkhata. Stuff changes, we can't rely on it not hurting us. Existentially, there is a wider problem than the hedonic tone of our experiences, and this is captured in the "wrongness" of our being conditioned entities. Sankharas "put us together", so to speak, and reconstitute our existence as apparently separate beings with insatiable appetites. Ajahn Sucitto is very good on this aspect of Dhamma, and the audio link given by Mike above is well worth spending 50 minutes on.

Discussion in 'Gaming' started by trophynuts, Sep 18, 2012.
Anyone picking this up today?
Nope, we Euros have to wait until Friday.
Yeah, for 360. My GT is my AF tag. Add me if you want to get it in.
(Go Broncos! )
smh....The Broncos played like garbage yesterday offensively. I may pick this game up in a couple of days.
Hell, I didn't know it was out yet. Though, I don't think I can justify spending any *more* money on games for a while.... >.>
I hope it's good, I guess I'll have to comb the interwebz for a review....
This is my most anticipated game of the year. I pre-ordered the 360 version from amazon, so I'm still waiting for it to get here. Unfortunately for me, I'm going on a trip around the time it will get to my house.
They are saying it'll be a serious GoTY contender, if that's any consolation.
Oh it gets my vote. If anyone hasn't figured it out yet the dupe glitch is back. So far I haven't found a way to dupe the skull chest yet.
Definitely gonna get it in tonight lol
Yea. They said they fixed it. My Buddy got curious because of the slot machines eating his money so he tried and it worked. Now he gets to gamble worry free!
I picked it up the way home from work today.
Not sure if I will keep it though, I haven't opened it yet.
I don't have anyone to play with and I'm not usually a fan of playing this style game alone. I'm not 100% sure really.
My tag on the 360 is the same as my AF tag. Haven't gotten far (still just level five) cause of work, but once I level up a bit I'm down to play some co-op so long as its actually productive.
Likewise. Anyone feel free to add me on XBL. Just let me know who you actually via text, so I don't think you're some creeper trying to get nudie pics.
there are 222 reviews on gamestop....with an avg user rating of 10
Because it's that good.
How often does this happen to someone with man in their sn?
You would honestly be surprised.
I taken it you are not a man then. Most people seek females for that sort of thing.
I am a man. That's my point. You have seriously deranged folk roaming the Internet, including XBL and PSN.
You didn't really just say that.
I'm going away now.
Some people have difficulty reading/comprehending, Early. Lol.
so about this game called Borderlands 2.......
i'm going to get it after work today.
Hey, I just played you. This is crazy. Borderlands 2 is ****ing amazing.
The entire game has been revamped in every possible way. There's actually a REAL plot this time! You'll love it. I know it.
Ah man, I'm going to have to stop coming to this thread. It makes me want to go spend $60 so much...
I got it! And then the steam servers started acting up and kicked us all out of multiplayer and so we gave up for the evening....

Lazy_eye wrote:I can think of a few possibilities: 1) desire not to harm others through an action that might cause suffering, 2) it violates the precepts, 3) the path involves realizations and fruits along the way to nibbana (jhanas for example), which would not be obtainable through the "short cut", 4) the Buddhist path involves gnosis and the same cannot be said of annihilation through a sudden act, and 5) nibbana is not annihilation. Not sure whether these arguments stack up.
Dan74 wrote:I guess with the same logic, if Parinibbana is nibbana with no effluents, the ultimate nibbana, which is the great goal, the Buddha should've killed himself the moment he attained liberation.
Seeing that he did not, shows, in my view, that there was a value in living for him, that it was not simply for the complete cessation that one practices.

Just north of the county seat of Litchfield, Goshen is a picturesque rural town.
Thousands of visitors flock to the annual Goshen Fair on Labor Day weekend, sponsored by the Goshen Agricultural Society. Displays include livestock, poultry, and other animals, fresh fruits and vegetables, lawn and garden equipment, baked goods, artwork and antique tractors. The Goshen Agricultural Society uses the proceeds from the fair to fund scholarships for local high school students.
Goshen shares Regional School District 6 with the neighboring towns of Morris and Warren. Young residents in K-6 attend Goshen Center School. After graduation from GCS students attend Wamogo Regional High in Litchfield, with a renowned agricultural education center.
The Goshen Players produce spectacular community theater performances every spring and fall in the Old Town Hall. The group was founded in 1949 by professional and amateur actors who wondered what it would be like to produce an operetta.

Campus Environment 2008: A National Report Card on Sustainability in Higher Education
Trends and New Developments in College and University Leadership, Academics and Operations - 2nd edition
Released on August 21, 2008
"The NWF Report Card is the Gold Standard for charting the sustainability movement in higher education. Coverage of both operational and academic programs is particularly important. Strongly recommended reading for administrators, faculty and students," said David W. Orr, professor of Environmental Studies and senior advisor to the president, Oberlin College. He is also the author of Earth in Mind, Ecological Literacy, The Last Refuge, and Design on the Edge.
This comprehensive study by National Wildlife Federation and Princeton Survey Research Associates International reviews trends and new developments in environmental performance and sustainability at 1,068 institutions. It recognizes colleges and universities for exemplary efforts and awards academic letter grades (A through D) for collective, national performance on environmental literacy, energy, water, transportation, landscaping, waste reduction and more. The report analyzes collective trends in the areas of management, operations, and academics.
With 27 percent (more than one quarter) of U.S. colleges (presidents, administrators, and facilities managers) responding, the 2008 survey is the nation's largest study to date created to gauge trends and new developments in campus sustainability. It was also the first study of its kind when conducted in 2001.

Every day, those of us who follow the stock market are deluged with a steady flow of prediction and expectations. The macroeconomic picture is dissected, shredded and reassembled on a daily basis in the search for information about the direction of business and markets.
Economists are paid top dollar to sit in nice offices in New York and D.C. and work their magic models to tell us what is happening and to predict what will happen. All too often, their view of the world must get skewed by the comfort of the beautiful office and the limo ride home, because they get it wrong all too often. I prefer a method of economic observation known as going outside and looking around.
When I lived in the mid-Atlantic, I had developed the perfect anecdotal economic indicators based on the amount of motorized boat traffic in Chesapeake Bay and beach traffic on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Twice a year, we had the perfect indicator when beach traffic combined with Nascar traffic to and from Dover Downs. The length of the backup at the Bay Bridge contained more information about the state of the economy than all of the economists and their models could ever hope to capture.
Since relocating to central Florida, I have endeavored to replace these walking-around economic studies with another indicator. I finally found it, thanks to a neighbor who had an extra ticket and a super-double-top-secret parking location. This past weekend, in the interest of research and economic accuracy, I headed over and took in the Daytona 500.
This may the perfect place to research the economy. Daytona and other premium sporting events are great tests of people's willingness to spend. These are the ultimate discretionary dollars. As one would expect, Daytona was pretty crowded on Sunday for the big race. Some 80% of the workforce is still employed, and these people value their entertainment, and the 500 is one of the biggest sporting events in the country.
However, a little walking around revealed a valuable story about the economy. I could have walked into pretty much any of the bars and restaurants around the speedway and gotten a seat or a barstool before the race. A few groups had tent parties in the parking lot, but they were not so crowded as to be uncomfortable. The fan areas and merchandise trailers outside the tracks were not the wall-to-wall consumer free-for-all that I have seen at Nascar events in years past. Before and after the race, I did not see as many people carrying goody bags full of shirts, keychains and other swag with a driver's name and image all over them.
In the stands were other signs that the consumer is not yet fully restored with confidence. From my seat, I could see that the backstretch grandstands were at best 60% full. There were a lot of empty seats in my section of the front stretch tower, and the stands were by no means full. People are just not inspired or comfortable right now about spending the big bucks to attend their favorite sporting event.
In addition to telling me that the economy remains in a state of better but not good, I also came away with a major tell on a few stocks. International Speedway (ISCA) and Speedway Motor Sports (TRK) are direct plays on Nascar racing, and I would not touch either of them at these prices. International Speedway is controlled by the founding family of Nascar, and it owns some of the best tracks in the sport, including Daytona, Talladega and Richmond. The company reported lower earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 and issued 2013 guidance that was below analyst expectations. At 1.5x book value and an enterprise-value-to-EBITDA ratio of more than 8, the shares are priced too high, given the outlook for the business.
Speedway Motorsports, the other publicly traded track owner, has also been lackluster performer for the past five years. Given its price-to-tangible-book-ratio of more 2 and an EV/EBITDA ratio of more than 7, I suspect it will continue to underperform again in 2013.
Nascar suffers from a weak economy, and its attempts to improve its image have alienated their core fan base to a larger degree. It lost touch with the fact that huge crowds and rabid fans attract corporate attention, not the other way around. Some of the biggest stars in the sport are struggling to find sponsorship dollars as track attendance and TV viewership are in decline. Until that changes, Nascar-related stocks should be avoided and even considered as short-sale candidates on rallies.

by Sadge, at Firesign FarmAh - a new year, accompanied by those ubiquitous resolutions. Now, myself, I'm at the age where strength and flexibility are at the use-it-or-lose-it stage. And since there are still a lot of items on my bucket list that require just those qualities, plus endurance, I certainly don't want to "lose it."
I already try for at least 30 minutes cardio workout, five times a week, usually by simply walking around my hilly neighborhood. I've found the best workout aid to be an eager and insistent dog, with an Ipod full of music a close second. Luckily, I live in an area that, while it can get cold in the winter has mostly clear skies, any snow on the streets is removed in a timely fashion, and any remaining ice melts off the dark pavement quickly. Then again, I lived above 10,000 feet for 10 years. I do believe there is no inclement weather, only inappropriate clothing.
That said, I do have a backup indoor cardio plan, with a few dance exercise CD's for when the wind is really ripping or those infrequent but totally impossible storms blow in for more than a day. And my living room decor now includes a cross-country ski machine, picked up cheap, secondhand, facing the tv.
But life gets in the way too sometimes - more often than not, it seems. Besides time devoted to family and friends, home and garden projects, I also have multiple volunteer commitments plus a part-time job. I can't just say I'll walk every day at this time, make it every week to this exercise class. My schedule is too erratic to plan so absolutely. As with any life-changing resolution, you have to make it a habit. It just gets a bit more difficult when you can't link the new action to a particular circumstance.
So I use my big decorative calendar, hanging there to disguise the ugly well tank, in my kitchen pantry. And stickers, just like back in kindergarten. I've used shiny star stickers for the cardio workouts for years now. It's such a simple little reward, but it works for me. When my life gets a bit too hectic, taking care of myself seems to be the easiest thing to discard. But too many empty days on that calendar nags me that I need to get things back on track. Use it or lose it!

Topic: Hey Percy, could you please give us your expertise?
Hi Percy,
Lisa, Lauren, and I were wondering if you could do us and probably a lot of people on here a favor. Could you please list all the chemos that are used for CC and tell us if they are by infusion or pill. Could you then please tell us what each one does or what the difference is between each one. Would you please try to explain in plain english too. We were discussing different ones and are really confused. Thanks for your wisdom and knowledge. I know this is a lot to ask, but I think it will clear up a lot for people and also make them more informed. Thank you so much.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Worcester Park racer Howard Fuller reckons two points finishes on his British Touring Car Championship debut has put him in pole position to land a permanent race seat in the competition next
The 20-year-old Team HARD Honda Civic driver finished 14th and 12th in the first two races of the weekend in torrential rain at Rockingham on Sunday.
Fuller, who came 16th in the meeting's final race, had secured a one-off drive from team boss Tony Gilham's outfit having impressed for the team in the VW Cup at the same track earlier in the
The former Brooklands College student's efforts drew admiring glances from former BTCC champion Tim Harvey, having clocked some fast times in wet conditions.
And Fuller, who has most of his race experience in single-seater cars, is hoping the exposure will give him a strong chance of returning to the series sooner rather than later.
"The team is looking to expand next year and, hopefully, I've done enough to impress. I'd like to think there is a chance to get back in the car before the end of the season, " he said.
"What an experience. I got so much good feedback from some of the sport's legends – people like Tim – who took the time to come down the pitlane to talk.
"I always race better in the wet. It is all about driver performance rather than how fast your car is.
"It separates the men from the boys. Our times in some sections were in the top three throughout the wet conditions.
"I was really impressed we were that competitive and can't wait to do it again."
Fuller, who qualified 14th on the grid, tussled with New Malden's Tom Onslow-Cole over the weekend, as the latter saw his chances of individual and team silverware with Team eBay Motors suffer a
blow with eighth, 14th and seventh place finishes.
The BTCC rolls on to Silverstone on October 7.

Sterling wants parole in Carolina Investors case
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The former chairman of Carolina Investors is seeking parole.
Jack Sterling is scheduled to appear Wednesday before the South Carolina Parole and Pardons Board. The 75-year-old executive started serving his five-year sentence for securities fraud last April.
Sterling was convicted in 2009 of his role in the collapse of Carolina Investors. Sterling was chairman of HomeGold Financial Inc., the parent company of Carolina Investors. Six executives of the two companies were convicted after the firms went under.
About 12,000 people lost $275 million in the companies' 2003 collapse, one of the biggest bankruptcies in state history.
Sterling remained free on bail for about three years while he appealed his conviction.
The Correction Department says Sterling is set to be released in September 2014 if he behaves behind bars.

The Gonzaga Science Research Program (GSRP) was initiated through grants from the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust and is now funded using Gonzaga University resources. The primary objective of GSRP is to expand undergraduate research opportunities. More specifically, the program aims to encourage and assist our faculty members in winning external grants for their research while providing research experiences for our science majors. GSRP pays for faculty and student stipends, as well as research supplies, for projects that are mainly carried out during the summer.
For more information on student research during the academic year, visit the Gonzaga Undergraduate Research webpage.
GSRP also pays travel expenses for faculty and students to attend the annual Murdock College Science Research Conference, where students report their research results to an audience of science faculty and students from undergraduate institutions across the Pacific Northwest. Similar presentations are made at GSRP's Annual Poster Session held on the Gonzaga campus, usually as part of the university's Fall Family Weekend.
Another GSRP activity is the O'Leary Distinguished Scientist award. Each year a distinguished scientist from a major research university or institute visits Gonzaga for two or three days, mainly to meet with our science majors. The visiting scientist delivers a technical lecture and is officially introduced as the O'Leary Distinguished Scientist at a public lecture geared to general audiences. This program exposes our undergraduates to the next level of science research and helps them define their career plans.
GSRP is administered by a Program Officer with an Advisory Committee made up of the three Science Department Chairs. The Advisory Committee sets policy, approves procedures, and makes certain decisions such as the funding of faculty proposals for research.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Duval County School Board will bring in five of the 30 applicants for superintendent of schools for interviews later this month.
Current Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals will retire in December. The candidates who will be interviewed are:
- Kriner Cash - superintendent of Memphis, Tenn., School District (Review application)
- Kathryn LeRoy - chief academic officer of Duval County Public Schools (Review application)
- William Miller - executive director of Michigan Association of Statewide Intermediate School Administrators (Review application)
- Dale Robbins - associate superintendent of Gwinnett, Ga., School District (Review application)
- Nikoali Vitti - Assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, school improvement and accountability, education transformation and performance, Miami-Dade School District (Review application)
There could be more than one round of interviews, but some board members are optimistic they could hire a new superintendent in September.
The current seven-member board selected the finalists and will conduct the interviews even though four of them will rotate off the board after the November election.
Cheryl Grymes, who was elected in Tuesday's primary, isn't happy that she won't be part of the process of hiring the next superintendent.
"I have not been part of the process, so it's hard for me to know the quality of the candidates," Grymes said. "I do have some reservations about this board being the board to select the candidate -- the superintendent -- being that the majority of this board now will be gone."
Last month, the School Board's Envisioning Committee released a report offering its opinions on what type of leader the district needs.
The main conclusions reached were that the new superintendent must be someone with professional experience, a consensus builder and collaborator, a leader, someone who can handle change properly, a person who celebrates diversity and someone who is a visionary.
