Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said he told his players that they will have to deal with fallout from the NBA's banning Clippers owner Donald Sterling for as long as they are in the playoffs.
"We're not through this," Rivers said.
The Clippers on Tuesday night won Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors at Staples Center, after learning in the morning that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had banned Sterling for life from the game for remarks in recordings that were released in the last few days.
Sterling also was fined $2.5 million by the NBA, and Silver wants other NBA franchise owners to force Sterling to sell the team.
The Clippers, who didn't practice Wednesday, lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 and can close it out by winning Game 6 on Thursday night in Oakland.
"Like I told my guys [Tuesday], this is going to be with us," Rivers said during a conference call Wednesday, referring to the Sterling ban. "'But let's just keep winning. Let's deal with it.' But it's not going anywhere. And you've just got to embrace that. That's just part of this year's playoffs for us.
"We don't have a manuscript or a rule book on how to deal with each issue that's going to come up. There will be more issues that we don't know about."
With Sterling's wife, Shelly, having attended Game 4 in Oakland on Sunday after the audio was released and Game 5 after the NBA's ruling, Rivers was asked if her continued presence at games could be another distraction.
"Yeah, it could be," Rivers said. "Obviously, if it was overbearing, it would be, let's be honest. That was an individual circumstance as far as the game [Tuesday] night, and even the [game] that she came to in Golden State.
"I wish I knew the right way on that one. I don't. ... I think either way would create a reaction.."
If the Clippers have to play Game 7 against the Warriors on Saturday at Staples Center, or if the Clippers advance to the second round of the playoffs, Rivers said, his team will still be dealing with the emotional strain of the Sterling case.
"We've just got to keep our focus as much as we can," Rivers said. "And if anybody is struggling with that, I told them to just let me know and we can find a way of how to deal with it individually."
Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, after scoring a playoff career-high 25 points Tuesday night, talked about how relieved his teammates were by Silver's ruling.
He said most of his teammates first learned about a recording soon after it was released by TMZ on Friday night. In the recording, a man who the NBA determined was Sterling told a female friend he was upset she posted a picture on Instagram of herself next to Lakers legend Magic Johnson, and did not want to see her at games with black people.
"It's never going to go away," Jordan said. "But I feel like it [Silver's ruling] was definitely a weight lifted off our shoulders so we can just continue to focus on playing basketball.
"We're up 3-2. We've got to go there. We know how important this game is going to be."
Meanwhile, several wealthy investors have stepped up to say they are interested in buying the Clippers.
Rivers said, "No," when asked if he would like to get together with a group to buy the Clippers.
"My focus is completely on trying to figure out a way to eliminate the distractions," Rivers said. "I talk to our team a lot about a box, keeping your box clean. And right now all of our boxes are full. We've got to get some of the clutter out."
Clippers reserve guard Jamal Crawford will be named the NBA's sixth man of the year for the second time in his 14-year career.
Crawford, 34, will become the fourth player in league history to win the award twice; he won his first with the Atlanta Hawks in 2010.
The NBA wanted to present Crawford the award before Game 5 at Staples Center, but did not because of the Sterling saga.
Crawford averaged 18.6 points per game during the 2013-14 regular season, third-highest on the team.
"He's deserving of it," Rivers said. "I don't know if there is a more lethal weapon in the league that you can bring off the bench."

balance series 305 tip color
A home owner from florida says:
August 18, 2015
balance is 18" window weight is about 8 pounds( is 41"x 40" ) no scale .sorry ,need to know what is the tip color I need .Thanks
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 19, 2015
If your window is only 8 pounds, then the Red Tip option should be fine, which is exactly what the S305-18 comes with by default. However, without knowing for sure what your sash weight is, I cannot guarantee that this is correct. Weighing your sash is the only way to be sure.

An interesting thing has happened over the last couple of years.
It started innocently enough with a few articles like "23 signs you're secretly an introvert", and a couple of "how to care for your introvert" infographics. And for the longest time I've been right there with the authors, alone in my office, throwing my fist into the air doing an Arsenio Hall "woo woo woo" along with all of my introverted brothers and sisters of the internet.
Then I read the book Quiet by Susan Cain, and thought, "Finally, someone is really speaking up for introverts." And I watched her Ted Talk. And immediately rushed off to tell everyone I knew to go watch it (so I posted it on Facebook which is practically the same thing).
But in the last couple of years, "introvert" has gone from a word bandied about by personality type junkies and psychologists to a mainstream buzzword and sort-of diagnosis. Introvert has become a badge of honor for the "old souls" among us. A (not-so) secret club that only those who understand the "20 things only introverts know" can be a part of. And at the same time it feels like it's become a thing that other people need to be aware of like ALS or autism.
And with this increased awareness of introverts and extroverts has come an increased division. Battle lines are drawn. And we're all quick to point fingers at who needs to change and who is really the one with the problem.
Oh, you're an extrovert, you wouldn't understand what it's like for me.
The world is too chaotic, I wish people would realize that I need something different. I'm just so overwhelmed.
I'm an introvert, so I'm not good at ___________. [public speaking / networking / talking to people / doing what those loud extroverts do for fun].
But introversion is not an illness, it is not a diagnosis. Being an introvert does not mean you need everyone else to take care of you and your "special needs". Sure, I think having quiet spaces in offices for introverts to relax is a great idea. I also think you are capable of designing your life so that those spaces are a bonus and not a requirement.
Being introverted is not an excuse for avoiding contact with people or not putting yourself into the world. The world needs what introverts have to offer. But it's not the world's job to change first. We have to meet it halfway.
So before I upset my fellow introverts, let me say for the record that:
- Yes, in our world (Western world), extroverted is THE thing to be, which as an introvert can really suck sometimes as we're told we should be "more outgoing" or "to speak up" or whatever.
- It would be awesome if everyone knew more about extroversion and introversion and were sensitive to the needs of both so that I wouldn't feel the need to run away to a dark cave at the end of full day "out in the world".
- Susan Cain's message is needed. I fully support her and her Quiet Revolution.
- Introverts do need different stuff than extroverts. We're just wired differently.
But it feels too much like a victim-y (or whiny teenager) thing to say, "But I can't share my gifts because so-and-so is more outgoing than me and life is overwhelming."
I'm just saying. Introvert to introvert… it's time to step up and not in some fake-extrovert, machismo way.
As introverts, as people, as adults, and as human beings with big brains and crazy internet-capabilities, we are responsible for our own experiences in the world. We can't wait to be invited into the conversation, we have to lean in and find our moments to add our voice to the mix. (Trust me on this, I'm married to an extrovert who is very aware of my introversion, and I still have to lean in and find my moments if I want to be part of the conversation).
Yes, extroverts need to understand us better. And introverts need to stop hanging out at the edges of the dance floor watching and secretly wishing someone would ask them to dance.
In order to create a world we want to live in, we must be part of this world. (click here to tweet)
We must show up to be understood.
It has to start with us.
So yes, the world needs to catch up. They don't know how to embrace and fully understand the awesomeness of introverts… yet. We have to help them get there, and the only way to do that is by leaning in and meeting them halfway.
Be brave and ask someone to dance. Or in the very least, be ready when someone asks you to dance (instead of hanging out at the snacks table stealthily eating all of the chips while no one is looking because you've already decided no one wants to dance with you).
Introverts must lead the dance. Quietly, gently, powerfully. As introverts do.
Now, go change your world.

Get ready to cop it sweet when the law comes to town for rugby league clash
By NICK McGRATH
THE NSW Police City versus Country clash will be held at Wade Park in April and there's a pretty big difference between it and the NSW Rugby League's version of the bush against the big smoke rep clash.
Places in the NSW Police Rugby League (NSWPRL) side are genuinely up for grabs on Thursday, April 28, and NSWPRL vice president Rod Sheridan says there's always plenty of feeling in the annual representative clash - the fact there's a World Cup year looming in 2017 only emphasises that.
"Absolutely," Sheridan said.
"There's plenty on the line for these guys.
"It's good quality league. A lot of the city guys are players who've been graded, played at the under-20s or Jim Beam Cup level and can still really play.
"It should be a good contest."
The City side will be selected from the variety of metropolitan police rugby league competitions that run fortnightly in Sydney and have done since the 1970s.
While the offerings for the 2016 Country team will be on show in Bathurst during the annual country championships, which runs over three days from March 15.
Sheridan said there's likely to be a throng of players who've had a taste of NRL in the City side, which has taken the spoils in the last five City versus Country games, including a highly entertaining 30-24 victory at Bathurst's Carrington Park in 2015.
Comment Guidelines: The SportsTG Network is made up of players, families and passionate sports followers like you who have a strong opinion about sport. That's great - we want you to have your say and share your thoughts with the world. However, we have a few rules that you must follow to keep it fun for all. Please don't be rude, abusive, swear or vilify others. Apart from some pretty serious sport sanctions, we also can ban you and report you if things get out of hand. So play fair and have fun, and thanks for your contribution.

Strange matter
strange matter
A hypothetical, extremely dense form of matter composed entirely of strange quarks. These quarks are not grouped into separate particles (like the quarks bundled into protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei) but form a single undifferentiated mass. The material of which hypothetical quark stars are composed is thought to be strange matter; some evidence for strange matter has also been found in collisions in particle accelerators and in seismic events possibly triggered by the passing of strange matter through the Earth.

UK will PAY first! Draghi's threat to make Britain suffer MORE than eurozone for Brexit
MARIO Draghi has ignored Brexit financial predictions to claim Britain will suffer MORE than eurozone after the UK leaves the European Union (EU).
Mario Draghi urged Theresa May to reveal her Brexit strategy as he warned Britain would be worse off
The European Central Bank president used the claims to urge Theresa May to reveal her Brexit strategy.
When speaking to MEPs in Brussels he whinged he did not know what the Government is planning.
Prime Minister Theresa May has repeatedly stressed she will not give a running commentary on the Government's plans for Brexit negotiations.
We are looking for a concept by the UK government where it would share its views and plans with its own citizens, and see what they say about that, before we can actually express our views on this
In an attempt to force Mrs May to reveal her hand the bank chief resorted to Project Fear warning Britain would bear the brunt of the economic fallout rather than the EU.
Mr Draghi told the European Parliament's economic and monetary affairs committee: "If, in the long run, the risk of a less open UK economy in terms of trade, migration and foreign direct investment were to materialise, there would be a negative impact on innovation and competition and, thus, productivity and potential output.
"Such developments would first and foremost weigh on the UK economy."
Mr Draghi said the eurozone has remained resilient in the wake of the EU referendum
Mr Draghi said the eurozone has remained resilient in the wake of the historic June referendum but warned longer-term effects will "vary across countries depending on their trade links with the UK".
He called for "clarity on the negotiation process as soon as possible in order to reduce uncertainty".
Mr Draghi said: "We are looking for a concept by the UK government where it would share its views and plans with its own citizens, and see what they say about that, before we can actually express our views on this."
The bank chief said he does not know the what the full impact of Brexit will be and placed the blame on Mrs May.
The bank chief said he does not know the what the full impact of Brexit will be
Mr Draghi told MEPs he wants the UK Government to clarify its Brexit negotiation plans
He said: "And the reason we don't know is we have to see exactly how the final shape of the negotiations will be and how long they will last. It's pretty clear that the longer they last, the bigger the uncertainty."
Mr Draghi added the single market has been a "fundamental asset" for the UK as speculation over whether Britain will maintain access to the EU single market intensifies.
MEPs were told Brexit also raises questions of "sovereignty" as the crumbling bloc attempts to concentrate types of trading on the continent rather than in the City of London.
The ECB previously attempted to move euro-denominated securities away from London and into the euro area but was stopped following a legal battle with Britain.
Mr Draghi said: "Following the outcome of the British referendum, there will certainly be issues of sovereignty in various parts of our payments framework, infrastructure framework, clearing systems and so on.
"If one wants to change that, it's basically the legislators, you, who might do that."
But despite his threats, Mr Draghi attempted to reassure MEPs that the ECB would continue to look at policies to underpin growth.
Brexit supporter and Tory MP Bernard Jenkin dismissed Mr Draghi's warning.
Mr Jenkin said: "This is all pre-positioning and jungle drums.
"It possibly bears no relation to the outcome of the negotiation and people should keep calm and carry on."
Mrs May has promised to trigger Article 50 by the end of March but has so far remained tight-lipped about what Britain is seeking to achieve in the two-years of talks which will then follow.

- The pay is lousy. While I make above minimum wage, it still doesn't add up to that much at the end of the week.
- There's temptation to buy. Ever want something really bad, but resist buying it so you can meet your financial goals? I walk by items I want every time I'm in the store.
- Dealing with customers. Don't get me wrong, I love helping people pick out merchandise. Kind of like shopping without me actually spending money. But there are a few witchy customers that can really get to me.
- Scheduling. If I need a day off, I have to ask for it 2 weeks in advance. Kills all spontaneity.
- It takes up time. Not just a little time. I work at the second job 24 hours a week. I work 2 nights during the week, Saturdays and Sundays. All my housework, errands, and any social activities are planned around my hours at the store.
- Employee discount. I get a neat 25% off everything in the store. I don't buy a lot, but every now and then there are items I legitimately need (shower curtain liners, anyone?), so it's nice to save some dough. Plus, about half of all gifts I've given this past year were from my store.
- Access to the Deals. Every now and then, we mark some items WAY down. Whether it's discontinued bedding or display glassware, we sell some things at unadvertised low prices. I've snagged replacement dishes for my sister and some sheets for my mom for a fraction of their actual cost. Not to mention I know what's on sale before it's on sale – even for Black Friday.
- Friends. I've been working there for just over a year and have met a bunch of people. They help the time pass in the store and we socialize outside of work as well. Good people make everything better.
- It keeps me busy. Not that I would sit around doing nothing otherwise, but working all the time has its advantages. I'm sure I would go out more and spend more money if I had the free time to do so. Working every day of the week naturally keeps that in check.
- Pay down debt. This is the number one reason I have a second job. Even though the pay isn't all that great, every little bit helps. The $650 I make working the second job in a month is $650 less on my credit card balance and $650 less that I am paying interest on. At the end of the day, it's the paycheck that keeps me going.
At the end of the day, the pros still outweigh the cons. I'm pretty sure that once the credit card debt is gone, that will change. My number one reason for working a second job is to pay off the credit card debt, and I don't know if any other incentive will be able to overcome the pitfalls of the second job.

The moral sewer Chris Matthews bathes in to sanitize a president's bloody deeds.
Yesterday, President Obama finally addressed the Benghazi controversy, calling scrutiny of the edited talking points a "sideshow" and denying his administration was involved in a cover-up. "If this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what had happened or tamp it down, that would be a pretty odd thing that three days later we end up putting out all the information," Obama said. "Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days? So the whole thing defies logic." Equally willing to defy logic was Obama's MSNBC whore Chris Matthews, who has been more than eager to carry water for the Obama administration. Indeed, Matthews' coverage of the unrelenting Benghazi scandal has distinguished itself as being particularly loathsome.
Last Thursday, Matthews was in fine form. After acknowledging that Greg Hicks, former deputy chief of mission in Libya, had testified before the House that he had spoken with Hillary Clinton on the night of the attack and that Clinton's Chief of Staff tried to intimidate him into silence, Matthews downplayed the egregiousness of the former secretary of State's scandalous behavior. The Obama administration was merely putting the "best face" on a terrible situation, Matthews said. "But it didn't cause Chris Stevens to be killed, it didn't cause the guys being killed by the mortar fire in the second attack, it didn't really cause any damage except to Mitt Romney," he continued. "And how is that going to offend the public?" In other words, four deaths and a subsequent cover-up are no big deal.
New York Times political reporter Jeremy Peters, on Matthews' Hardball that night, parroted the host's take, insisting the public wasn't offended, and that any indignation was limited to "riling up a small part of the Republican base." "You can't go to a Republican town hall meeting these days without someone shouting 'Benghazi! Benghazi!'" complained Peters. Incredibly, Matthews wondered what harm was done by the State Department removing references to terrorism from the post-attack talking points two weeks before the election. "What's the big damage there?" he asked. Matthews neglected to connect for viewers that one of the president's central campaign slogans was that terrorism was "on the run," something that makes the cover-up of the jihadist murder of our ambassador and three Americans at the height of a presidential election much more nefarious.
The fact remains that, in answer to Matthews' question, the "big damage" is that the Obama-Clinton Benghazi lies were indeed concocted to conceal their responsibility for the deaths of four Americans. When Senior NBC investigative reporter Lisa Meyers, also on the show Thursday, pointed out there were legitimate questions regarding the lack of security and contingency plans at the consulate in Benghazi, and that no effort was made to rescue the Americans trapped there, Matthews acknowledged that such a reality was problematic. But he quickly insisted Clinton "does care about her ambassadors" and then launched into a fantasy scenario involving Clinton moving heaven and earth to save Americans. Even Chris Stevens himself warranted more blame than Hillary and Obama: As Matthews asserted, Stevens knew what he was getting into when he went to Libya, "a country that wasn't quite stable."
Matthews then referred to Republican questions about Hillary's character as a "clambake" and a "battle of the bands," further insisting that going after Clinton's character is part of the "Republican manual." As far as Matthews is concerned, Clinton's reference to the Islamic video as the cause of the attack, which has now been revealed as a bald-faced lie, was nothing more than "spin" perpetrated by Republicans. "The only thing that matters to the American people, was anyone derelict enough to let someone die who was a good guy," he stated. Again, in this instance, Matthews conceals from viewers the indisputable fact of Clinton's deadly negligence regarding consulate security concerns (lamented by Stevens himself), not to mention the multiple "stand down" orders issued by the administration, which needlessly left our people for dead.
On Monday, Matthews was even more virulent in his defense of the president. In an interview with Rep Mike Turner (R-OH), Matthews behaved like Obama's personal attack dog. When Turner referred to the lie perpetrated by UN ambassador Susan Rice regarding the Muslim video narrative, Matthews demanded to know if Turner "has proof Obama was involved" in creating that narrative. He continually interrupted Turner when he tried to answer. "Tell me something I don't know," repeated Matthews. He then asked if Clinton was involved in editing the talking points. "Was the Secretary of State involved, because what's going on here is that the big names are getting bopped by your party, which is the way it works. I just want you to tell me who did it," Matthews complained.
Matthews' clear intention was to imply that if there is no public trail leading directly to the president, calls for further investigation into the scandal can be dismissed as baseless. When Turner said the connection to high officials like President Obama was precisely what the committee is attempting to determine, Matthews became visibly angry, accusing Turner of making unwarranted accusations. "I think it's odd to have an investigation to find out if you know what you're talking about," Matthews sneered.
"That's what we're trying to get down to," Turner explained, noting that the president only released emails because Congress forced his hand. "He's not stepped forward and said 'excuse me, I've now learned that a lead administration official on my behalf told a fiction to the nation.' That's what he should be focused on, and that's what we're trying to find out," Turner explained.
Here, Turner stumbled onto the crux of the issue, but he did not articulate it fully. Leftists like Matthews have defended Obama in the wake of Benghazi by casting doubt on the idea that the president knew that the Internet video story was a hoax when it was first peddled by Susan Rice on national television. Unfortunately for Matthews, this "plausible deniability" has proved to be most certainly false. Both Obama and Clinton served up the same lies spewed by Rice on multiple occasions after the attack, well after it was known that it was the work of jihadists. Obama and Clinton even took the charade so far as to appear in a Pakistani ad campaign denouncing the video. Obama himself used the Internet video narrative in a speech before the United Nations. Turner's response should have been that if Obama didn't approve the lie himself and was somehow misled, where is the outrage? Where are the heads of the people responsible for this ruse? The fact of the matter is there are no hides to be had because it is inconceivable that the commander-in-chief was the last in the chain of command to know the truth.
As a former speechwriter for President Carter, Chris Matthews is well aware of how government agencies operate and he knows full well that there isn't the remotest chance that Susan Rice, after a major attack on the U.S., unilaterally decided to promote the Muslim video angle. He simply doesn't care. As far as Matthews is concerned, his sitting president and his 2016 presidential candidate of choice must also be protected at all costs -- even if anything resembling journalistic integrity gets sacrificed in the process. Matthews has demonstrated a willingness to destroy his own credibility for the sake of currying favor with those in power. That's what media whores do.

Jessica is a steady Sun Sign Taurus with a cool detached Moon in Aquarius. This is a very stubborn combination, indeed this is a very stubborn & fixed chart in general, so she will go at her own pace, not anyone else's, and she will be constantly battling between doing things for herself and having time for other people. As she is always in the public eye I can imagine that this constant "putting herself out for people or making time for them" can make her a bit irritable, especially as she has a Mercury/Mars conjunction which indicates a sharp tongue when pushed too far. It also indicates that she will want to be significant, glamorous or different in some way. Uranus sits at the top of her chart in the 10th house conjunct the midheaven, confirming that this need to be different & exciting extends to her career – she needs to be in the public spotlight. Uranus there also indicate that somewhere along the line, Jessica may have at least a couple of career changes as she gets older. The Aquarius moon sits gently in the 1st house which gives the misleading impression of her being quite vulnerable and impressionable, however within her there is a Martian (Mars/Aries rules the first house) driving independent spirit that pushes Jessica forward to achieve.
Even from 5 years of age, Jessica yearned to be an actress – a dream that quickly became reality as she won an acting competition at the age of 11 in Beverley Hills in 1992, just as transiting Pluto connected exactly with her midheaven, trusting her future career into the spotlight. There is an interesting twist to this. The Nodal axis or maternal axis (North Node/South Node) also lies on the ascendant/descendant axis – I look to the mother as an influence to her public face. You guessed it? It was her mother who took her to the acting competition and subsequently pushed her forward. As a youngster she also suffered an unusual amount of health problems. Her Moon is in the first house and rules the 6th house of health, with Cancer on the cusp, so any aspects to it hits her personally in a physical way. The Natal moon is trine Pluto and almost square Uranus, so as those planets were activated by solar arc in the first 10-12 years of her life, her health suffered. She suffered collapsed lungs, pneumonia as well as a ruptured appendix, as well as acute asthma. Luckily she has a fortifying Sun/Mars conjunction which would have contributed strength when she needed it most – Jessica despite her gentle appearance is deceptive, she is a real fighter. One other thing that Jessica will always have to put up with is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Obsession on a natal chart can be shown by quintedeciles (165 degree aspects) between natal planets. Jessica has no less than 4, all of them emanating from her Sun, Mercury, Venus conjunction outwards to Uranus, her midheaven and her Pluto. The ideal career, the ideal image and the need for control of this will affect the way she lives her life. One of the quintedeciles connects Venus and Uranus. With Venus ruling the 4th house of the home and the 9th house of education, it indicates an almost transitory disruptive home life, a fact that Jessica has openly admitted to affecting her childhood, as well as a disrupted education.
She has a constant need to communicate with a full 3rd house, always on the phone, texting & emailing I would bet. She is also blessed with a graceful, idealistic Mercury/Venus conjunction combined with that active, athletic Sun/Mars conjunction I spoke of earlier. Having being lucky enough to have met Jessica a few months back, I can testify that she does have an incredible grace and gentleness to her persona.
Her 8th house is full with Pluto and a Jupiter/Saturn conjunction. She will constantly shift between optimism and pessimism, moving forward and then pulling back. Financially she will be serious about investment, will want to keep her finances under her own control, and may well benefit from an inheritance at some point in her life. She also will have an interest in deeper, darker subjects, the unusual and the unknown. Emotionally, she is far more intense than her appearance indicates with an intense Moon/Pluto trine. On a religious spiritual level, with Jupiter in sociable Libra and Neptune in Jupiter's own sign of Sagittarius, I would expect her to be quite open in her attitude to spirituality of all types.
Right now Jessica is in the news, as it has been revealed that she is expecting her second child with film producer husband, Cash Warren. Looking at her progressed chart progressed Venus is trine her natal Moon which is very pleasant and coming from the 5th house indicates children. Her progressed Sun is also trine her Ascendant so this will be a happy year. This aspect is also shown on the Solar Arc chart. SA Saturn is opposite Mars, so it suggests whatever projects Jessica has been doing will now have to be put on hold. Also interestingly SA Pluto is just 2 degrees away from hitting the Midheaven. In 2013, one of those career changes I mentioned earlier may just happen. Maybe the joy of motherhood and looking after her children will eventually pull her away from the acting scene? Certainly 2013/14 will herald a multitude for changes for both her life and her future.

Oatmeal cookies. What can I say about oatmeal cookies? When I was younger, my mom, sister and I would make oatmeal cookies for my dad because he doesn't eat chocolate. My parents were coming here for Thanksgiving this year, so when I found this recipe, I decided these would be a nice holiday treat for my dad.
These were a big hit. First of all, my husband was just excited that I was finally making him cookies. Then, both my parents emailed me after they left, saying how much my dad was kicking himself for not sneaking a couple of cookies into a ziploc to take home with him. I think the white chocolate chips and the cranberries added some new flavors to my dad's oatmeal cookies!
White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies (adapted from Serious Eats)
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup water
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter
1/2 granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
Combine the oats and water in a small bowl, and set the mixture aside.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Set the flour mixture aside.
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, remove it from the heat and mix in the two sugars. (The original recipe called for golden brown sugar, but I used dark brown sugar. I prefer the taste of dark brown sugar.) Add in the egg and mix quickly to incorporate the egg into the sugar mixture. Add the flour to the mixture and combine well. Stir in the oats and the cranberries. Cover the mixture and cool.
After the dough mixture has been in the fridge for about an hour, stir in the white chocolate chips. Let the dough cool for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the dough in rounded tablespoons onto a cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 13 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack.

The Best Nursing Tops for Comfortable & Discreet Breastfeeding
The Best Nursing Tops Allow Discreet Feeding
For breastfeeding Moms (and those who plan to breastfeed) the best nursing tops are ones which allow for comfortable and discreet nursing, inside or outside of the home. Designed to be easily undone with one hand, the following nursing tops offer a simple and effective way to cover your own body while simultaneously feeding your baby comfortably. For most of us, we want to protect our modesty somewhat when breastfeeding (especially when we are just starting out) and the nursing top allows us to do exactly this - breastfeed in comfort and also discreetly wherever we are.
The emergence of dedicated nursing tops has definitely made baby feeding more convenient and private than it was previously. Below you'll find the best nursing tops available today, so feeding can be done conveniently and as frequently needed, ensuring a well-nourished new born and a Mom who doesn't have to worry about feelings of embarrassment or immodesty.
Breastfeed Comfortably Anywhere, Anytime
For those who have yet to meet their little bundle and start on the breastfeeding journey, it's wise to be aware of the fact that a new-born baby typically feeds pretty much constantly, about 8 to 12 times a day, for about 20 to 45 minutes each session (for the first weeks at least)! And since he or she is nearly always sleepy, feeding times may stretch on for a lot longer. This means that if we want to go out rather than stay at home 24/7, we need to be prepared to nurse our baby at anytime and anywhere - this is where specialist maternity clothing comes in.
8 Colors Available
Bravado Nursing Bra Tank
Stylish and comfortable, this stretch cotton nursing tank is first on the list of best nursing tops. It is lined with CottonFlex for comfort and has a built-in moulded seamless bra for support and shape. It looks attractive, with a gorgeous bustline, thanks to this mould support. It even comes in different colors for Mommy's fashion requirements.
The one handed nursing clip ensures easy access to the breast while cradling the baby. Cushioned adjustable straps make the tank top conform easily to the changing body of the mother.

Gilligan & O'Malley Full Sling Nursing Tank
The best nursing tops do not have to look frumpy on Mommy. Gilligan & O'Malley's full sling nursing tank is probably the most stylish top on this list. The lace trim on the neck line makes it a nursing top that's a good addition to the wardrobe.
Convenience coincides with its style. Its one-handed snaps open the flaps of the top easily for immediate feeding. Breasts are supported by the inner lining of the tank that is cool and comfortable against the skin. 90% cotton and 10% spandex, it provides breathability and adaptability to the mother's body and movement.
Medela Maternity Nursing Cami
The stylish simplicity and functionality of the Medela Maternity nursing cami makes it one of the best nursing tops available to the nursing mom. Designed to hide most of the chest while breastfeeding, it is made out of soft material that keeps mommy comfortable while being thoroughly covered.
Maternity sizing is also accurate. And with its lace trim and neutral colours, this nursing top can go with any wardrobe. Made with 67% rayon from bamboo, 28% cotton and 5% spandex, it is machine washable, cheap but extremely durable and therefore ideal for everyday use.
Nursing Tank By Undercover Mama
You may have that nifty nursing bra but you can't seem to pair it with a top that will provide you with good coverage while nursing. Undercover mama's strapless undershirt is made to attach directly to your nursing bra, making it look like you have a tank top on.
It provides convenience and that much needed coverage for your back, sides and belly in case feeding needs to be done in a more public place. It provides good tummy support as well. Fashion-wise, the length is great for layering and it comes in functional neutral colours like brown, black, white and cream.
Feeding a growing baby is no joke. A nursing mother has to be patient and keep herself healthy as she is the vessel for that baby's nourishment. With all these things to consider, the simple process of being able to feed her baby should not be something she should have to think about too much. Fortunately, designers of best nursing tops know this. The one-handed nursing clips, good breast support and breathable materials are modern conveniences now affordable for today's mom and mom-to-be. Now feeding can be done conveniently, anytime anywhere.

I invested in a nursing top and loved it. It was so much better than a nursing bra. If they seem a bit pricey, new mom's should know you wear them almost everyday. I even wore some at night, because I could put a pad in to protect my sheets, and husband, LOL, if I would leak. They are supportive, fashionable, discreet, and a great investment to help new moms maintain nursing. Voted up and shared!
Great hub! Thanks for explaining a complex issue in easy to follow terms. It was really helpful.
They are definitely practical and a great help to mums.
I wish I had bought some of these when I was nursing my sons. The last thing you want to do as a new mum is pull up your top to nurse and reveal your newly saggy stretch-marked baby belly. These nursing tops look like a real dignity-saver.
enjoy the read since i am still breastfeeding my son!
