Unanswered: movig data between server
We have a situation where we have to transfer all tables from MS SQL database to another nightly. But we want to keep
the logins as it is for each server/database. The database is a bout 60 GB. What is the fastest and the most efficient way
to accompolish this task. We plan to recreate the indexes nightly as well.

You can truncate, bcp out/in (if only data)
or you can backup/load, but just drop the users then add your desired users after the db is loaded. You can "ALTER index all rebuild" to rebuild the idxs.

The EEAC Annual Meeting and Policy Conference, held in Washington, DC each March, is a three-day, policy-focused event. Held in conjunction with the Association's annual business meeting, the Annual Meeting and Policy Conference offers EEAC members an up-close-and-personal opportunity to meet and interact with the regulators and policy makers who influence contemporary compliance practices.
The Compliance Conference, held each year in the Fall on a rotating city schedule, is a three-day practitioner-focused event. Our 'roll-up-your sleeves' multiple learning track format offers practitioners across different disciplines and varying levels of experience a structured, and high-volume learning experience. Sessions led by EEAC staff experts and fellow EEAC members are focused on practical guidance and techniques that can be brought back to the office and placed into action right away.
The two-day Talent Acquisition Compliance Summit was created in response to EEAC members' observation that the traditional HR compliance function has become increasingly intertwined with the talent acquisition discipline. In fact, talent acquisition had become a focused track topic for EEAC's Compliance Conference, and eventually, the track grew to become its own, standalone annual event.

Anyone have experience with the Oozy Evo 26 rims? I'm looking to lose some weight in my wheelset, but these guys are pretty svelte at 420g. I weigh 185 and currently run Mavic 521s laced to dt 240 hubs. I though I might be able to lace the Oozys to the 240s and then have a 2nd wheelset for gravity oriented days.

Liar's Poker
He never should have touched her that last time, but seeing her in pain
hurts him, causes him pain in ways his own wounds never do.
He woke in the med lab to her eyes, shining with love and desire for
He left that afternoon.
When he came back the next time, he stayed for a month before his need
for her became overwhelming and he had to leave before he acted on it.
He's been back for three weeks this time, and he's already ready to
leave again.
He can't take it.
He sees her watching him, knows that she knows, now, what he wants to do
with her. And he's closer to breaking down and giving in than he's ever
been before.
He keeps his face neutral, ignores her at dinner, but he should have
known that wouldn't faze her.
She has a natural optimism, a belief in people that even extra doses of
his cynicism can't quell. She believes in him, and that hurts, because
he believes he's done nothing to earn it. She reminds him that he saved
her life, but he knows that was necessary only because he put her at
risk in the first place.
He goes out and finds other women, but all he can see is that they are
*not her*, and his need goes unmet, his desire unslaked, no matter how
often he couples with nameless women in dingy motel rooms and back
alleys behind dive bars in the city.
It makes him weak, and he hates his weakness. He hates himself, because
he cannot hate her. It would be so much easier if he could hate her,
make her hate him. Take the weight of her expectations and shirk it from
his shoulders, loose the yoke in which she has him bound.
He is out at a bar, another night of trying to hide from the truth, when
it hits him. There's one blonde on his lap, another with her tongue in
his ear, when he realizes he has to leave again, because neither of them
smell -- move -- sound like her, and he can't take it anymore.
Fighting, drinking, driving fast -- these no longer give him the
pleasure they once did. Everything is tainted, filtered through the lens
of his need for her.
His determination holds until he stumbles into his room. Her scent is in
the air, but he tells himself it's his imagination, that desire is
clouding his senses.
But she's there.
In his bed.
She wakes at his entrance, sits up and blinks slowly, the soft scent of
sleep, sweat and Marie wafting over him, seducing him. Her hair falls in
gentle waves over silk-covered breasts, and he closes his eyes, clenches
his fists.
"Logan?" Her voice, husky with sleep, glides over his sensitive ears
like satin.
He swallows hard.
"What are you doing here?" His voice is hoarse, tight with suppressed
longing and all the words he'll never say.
She shrugs and he feels his body tighten in response to the way her
breasts move with the motion. "I missed you."
"I'm here now."
She pats the spot next to her with a gloved hand. "Come to bed, Logan."
He is frozen in place. All his wishes, dreams, desires are laid before
him, his for the taking. And she wants to be taken, wants to take him,
hold him inside the honeyed cage of her body.
To her, it's love, and love conquers all. She doesn't see that he's
soiled and in need of redemption; she somehow manages to want him as he
is, rather than as he could be, and that's new for him. He believes she
can redeem him, on the rare occasions he believes he can be redeemed. He
wants to believe so badly sometimes.
And tonight, he does.
He stands upon the blade of a knife, thin and sharp and double-sided as
one of his claws, and far more capable of cutting out his heart.
And as easily as that, she has him.
He moves forward purposefully; once the decision is made, once he's
allowed himself to have what he wants, he won't waver, he won't regret.
All that will come tomorrow.
"We're not going to be sleeping." He forces the words out, his voice
still rough and strange. It is the last out he will give her.
Her smile is pure and wicked, knowing and innocent all at once, a
woman's smile for her lover. "I know."
She opens her arms and he falls into them, falls into her. She is the
ocean that will drown him, pulling him down with her love and her hope.
His hands are already moving over her, impatient, the consummation of
which he's dreamed suddenly real soft flesh over taut muscle, warm and
pliant under his hands.
"God, Marie." A whispered prayer as he lays her back, rubs his face
against her silk-covered breasts, the slight curve of her belly, her
strong thighs. She touches him, and there's no hesitation in her at all.
She doesn't know, she *can't* know that this is wrong, that he will be
punished for it, that she will hate him in the end.
He pushes those thoughts away. He also knows that this was inevitable.
From the first time their eyes slid away from each other in the bar,
this moment has been looming, shadowing their every interaction. He
fought it for as long as he could, but he has no strength left to fight
He covers himself in her scent, breathing her in and knowing he will
never forget this, as long as he lives, and even after he's died, the
scent of vanilla and sweat and Marie --
"God, Logan!" she echoes his words as his hands find the heat between
her legs. She burns him even through the thin cotton of her panties, and
it's enough -- he can forget that this is wrong, that he can't touch
her, that he *shouldn't* touch her, when the evidence of her desire is
so tangible.
He breathes against her already peaked nipples. "Let me--" he begs, a
supplicant worshipping at her altar, this goddess of love and hope and
salvation, more real and merciful than any goddess he's ever heard of.
She smiles again, eyes dark with desire, and fire rushes in his veins
because he makes her look that way, he makes her body twist with want,
makes her lips form his name. He suckles at one full breast, then the
other, and she arches into him, panting. Her wordless cries of pleasure,
the feel of her fingers clutching his shoulders, spur him on. He
convinces himself he does it for her.
"For you, baby, all for you," he murmurs, eyes feasting on her
reactions -- she is wanton and free, and she is his, and he, hers, for
all that he'll try to deny it later.
She comes hard against his hand, her head thrashing against the pillows,
her body arched and curved like a violin, her voice making music that
only he has ever heard.
While she is still shuddering, gasping for breath, he pushes her knees
wide. She meets his eyes boldly -- no fear now, just desire and joy in
her gaze, in her scent, in her body -- and smiles again. She unzips his
jeans, and he draws a long, shuddering breath as her silk-clad thumb
flicks over him.
He fumbles in the drawer for a condom, aware that his desire to feel
her, skin-on-skin, will be the death of him. Yet he considers it for a
moment, selfishly. The foil packet is in his hand, then the condom is
on -- later, he will remember this in flashes, wondering how he got from
point A to point B, but for now, he feels nothing but the blinding need
to slide into her warmth.
Pushing aside the material of her panties, counting on his jeans to
protect him, he sheathes himself in her in one long stroke. Her eyes go
wide, her body tenses, and he realizes that this is her first time, and
he's already screwed it up.
He stills, buries his face in the crook of her neck, and whispers, "It's
okay, baby. It's going to be okay."
"Promise?" she asks, but this time, he can't give her the words. He
pulls out and slides into her again slowly, letting her feel every inch
of him. The words form unbidden in his mind, though he swears he will
never speak them. 'With my body, I thee worship.'
She is silk and velvet to his adamantium and flesh, and she grips him
tightly, matching his rhythm. She bares her throat to him, and he nips
at it, the flutter of her pulse attracting his attention. His lips brush
her skin for a second -- once, twice, three times -- and he's found the
secret to touching her. Butterfly kisses on deadly gossamer skin.
He's working almost solely on instinct now. His body knows this is
right, and won't let his mind get in the way. It begins low in his
belly, the slow, spiral build of release, uncurling like a snake. The
only time he can leave his body behind and be free. His hips piston into
hers; his elbows bear his weight as his hands tangle in her hair, and he
raises her face so her eyes meet his.
He doesn't speak when he comes. He growls low, and she tightens her
muscles around him, pulling him in deeper. He never wants to leave. He
wants to fall into her completely, body and soul, and he knows that she
is the one woman capable of taking all of him in.
He's floating back down to earth, the world making itself known to him
again when she convulses around him, her hand finishing the job he
He takes that hand, brings it to his mouth and licks each silk-clad
finger slowly, memorizing her taste, the flavor of their love, salty and
real and inevitable.
She licks her lips and he again risks the danger of losing himself in
her by brushing his mouth over her cheek, her nose, her lips, quickly
and carefully. He knows that in all the ways that matter, he is already
lost. She owns him more completely than ever, and he begins to hate
himself for giving in when he knows it's wrong.
He has never been a cuddler, never spent the night sleeping with a woman
in his bed, but he gathers her to his chest as she drifts off, content.
When she rolls over, he's already gone.
She stretches, feeling the soreness between her legs, luxuriating in it,
knowing that he's bound to her even more closely now.
She understands his fear, his ambivalence, the way honor and desire war
within him. She is sure that love -- his love for her -- will overcome
all the obstacles he places in their way.
He's touched her and she knows him.
The first time, she initiated the contact, an attempt to save her life
using his healing power. She learned his fears and hopes, his desire to
die, transmuted at the moment of her touch, into the desire to live.
The second time is a rush of white light -- his love, pure and
blinding -- his willingness to sacrifice himself for her. Other people
talk about death as a white light. For Rogue, the light of the machine
was death, yes, but the light of Logan's love is what brought her back.
To others, the white streaks in her hair are reminders of failure, pain,
loss. To Rogue, they are a symbol of the dazzling flare of love Logan
poured into her, a visible reminder of how much he really cares.
The third time... She shivers in delight whenever she thinks of it. The
third time he touched her, the love was there, and the desire to live,
and the love and desire came together in sheer, animal *need*.
He willed her to heal because he needs her. Wants her. Loves her.
And it scares him to death.
She knows he's been dreaming of her -- her body, her kisses, her
scent -- and she also knows that he believes it's wrong, he's wrong.
And he is.
Not in the way he believes. No. He thinks he's wrong *for her.* But
that's not it. He's wrong to deny what is between them -- the connection
that even death hasn't been able to sever. In fact, their bond has been
cemented by her death, and his willingness to follow her into its shadow
and bring her back.
But he only sees the shame -- the difference in their ages, experiences,
backgrounds. He sees himself as nothing, no one, going nowhere.
She sees that together they can make a future that will eclipse his lost
past and her troubled one. They fit together in ways that she never
expected, never even hoped for. And so she is willing to wait.
Now that he's tasted her, she knows that he won't stay away for long.
His hunger for her is wild and fierce, and she will use that to her
She's learned much from him over the past few years; it is her turn to
be the hunter, and his, the prey. And patience is the key to hunting.
She will wait him out, until he sees that his place is at her side. She
pushes down the fear and doubt, tells herself that he is addicted to
her, as she is addicted to his touch. He looks at her like a drowning
man eyes a life preserver, and eventually, he will realize that it is
only together that they can have a life. Alone, they can survive --
they've both made an art of that -- but together they can live, with all
the attendant joys and sorrows.
She wants that so badly she can taste it amid the salty, sweaty flavor
the night's lovemaking has left in her mouth.
The first days afterward pass in a blur. He stays away and she lets him
have his space. She knows he needs the time to acclimate to the change
in their relationship.
When a week passes, and they've done nothing but brush by each other in
the hall, with hellos mumbled and eyes averted, she knows she must take
She goes to him again.
She learned after the very first night years ago not to startle him
awake, so she calls softly to him, edging her way into the room, hoping
her voice and scent will rouse him.
And so they do.
He opens his eyes and she moves quickly; before he can protest, she's in
bed with him. She fits against him perfectly, and after several minutes
of heated kisses and caresses, she slides down his body. Using a sheer
scarf to protect him, she lets her lips speak with kisses instead of
words. She takes him in her mouth and he groans.
She's inexperienced, but with his memories to guide her, she is able to
bring him to climax quickly, probably more quickly than he'd like, she
realizes. He growls but she has no fear. He moves, makes to sit up, and
she pushes him down, gloved hands on bare shoulders. She straddles him,
grinding herself against him as she reaches into the night table drawer
for a condom. With fumbling fingers she manages to get it on him, and
then she lowers herself onto him.
He watches her, and she can see love and fear in his eyes. She moves
slowly, rolling her hips in a way that gives her as much pleasure as it
does him, and she whispers to him of her love, their love. But the fear
never does leave his eyes.
His hands steal to her hips, warm through the sheer silk of her
body-stocking, guiding her rhythm, and she begins to lose control,
shivering, shaking with pleasure as he thrusts deep inside her. She
cries out his name as she comes, a fierce, echoing shout torn from the
depth of her being, and her eyes never leave his as his hands tighten to
bruising on her body.
He growls his release and she strokes his chest with sated languor. She
wants to hold him, protect him from all that haunts his nightmares, but
he turns his back to her as they fall asleep, She nestles against him,
content that come the morning, things will be better.
He wakes to the feel of her pressed against his back, and he has to
stifle a groan.
All that work, all that successful avoidance, and he's back where he
started, in bed with Marie.
In love with--
He refuses to even think it, let alone say it, regardless of her words
to him last night. He has never believed in declarations of love during
sex, and even though he can smell -- hear -- taste -- *feel* the
difference this time, he clings stubbornly to his false beliefs
She burrows in closer to him, and he wonders if she can sense his
withdrawal, though he hasn't yet moved.
That scares him even more than the way his body relaxes into hers when
he's not paying attention.
For as long as he can remember, he has lived by his instincts, trusted
them to keep him whole and sane when everything else was going wrong,
but at this he finally rebels.
With ferocious momentum, he launches himself from the bed and stalks to
the shower.
He washes her scent -- their scent, mingled and intoxicating -- off his
body, determined, like the heroine of an old movie musical, to wash away
his feelings as well.
She's stirring as he dresses and it takes all of his will to leave the
room before she wakes.
He scowls as he makes his way down to the garage. His room, and she's
driven him from it. He holds fiercely to this anger, lets it simmer and
adds to it other slights (real or imagined) he can lay at her feet --
her way of making him feel awkward and inexperienced and *soft* in her
presence, his desire to curl up with her and never be with another woman
again, the knowledge that he can never ever be good enough for the love
he sees in her eyes...
He never cared about these things before, and he'll be damned to hell
before he starts now.
He guns the motor on the bike and tears down the driveway as if all the
devils in that hell are after him, and he doesn't come back for three
They fall into a pattern.
Avoidance and then combustion. They spend the days separate, in pain,
and come together at night; she heals him in ways his mutation never can
or will, and then she breaks him again, and he returns the favor.
He can't live like this much longer, and he knows it must be tearing her
up inside as well, but he can't give in.
His behavior during the day deteriorates. Two of the girls leave his
class in tears, and when she confronts him about it, he is rude to her,
as well.
His words are always carefully chosen. He knows her weak spots, and how
to hit where it hurts.
"Was it necessary to scare them like that?" she asks, and though her
tone is mild, he can feel the reproach; it echoes the one inside his
head. The children haven't harmed him in any way, though they're yet
more evidence of his becoming far too comfortable in the role of
teacher, friend--
He stops as his thoughts, as always, circle back to her.
"What do you know about it, kid?" he responds, and the word, formerly an
endearment, is a curse in his mouth. "You stick to teaching Shakespeare
and leave the fighting to me. You're useless in combat." A lie, and a
reflection on his own abilities more than hers if true, but he doesn't
care. He just needs to lash out.
She nods, accepting as always. "Yes, but--"
He walks away before she can finish. As he works to make her hate him,
he hates himself more and more, that her love for him will make her
accept the meanness he deals out.
He wonders how long she will put up with this split in his personality
and is ashamed because he secretly hopes she sees through his maneuvers
and loves him anyway.
And again, he's caught in the cycle, trapped like a fly in a spider's
web. The harder he struggles against her, the tighter she binds him.
He can't stop touching her and she knows. She knows all she has to do is
slip into his bed and he's lost. He takes her hard and fast, and then
slow and hot, making her come with his name on her lips.
That's when he knows. In the dark hours of the night, he knows he can't
succeed, that he's as selfish as they all say he is, because he can't
let her go. She sleeps, sated, and he whispers to her of his love and
her beauty, and how it makes him want to howl because he can't tell her
while she's awake, because he's convinced himself it's wrong.
He touches her gently, secretly, letting her feel the things he can't
give her when she's awake. Then he falls into a deep, dreamless sleep,
thinking, 'this is what love is.'
He resolves to redouble his efforts to make her hate him in the morning,
but at night, when she is with him, he can't bring himself to do it, to
prove to her he's everything she's ever been warned about.
The fear that she'll find out and leave him gnaws at him, and he knows
he has to break it off. He's brusque and cold, insensitive to her
feelings, and yet she still returns to him at night, and he takes her,
praying she won't give up on him, the way he's given up on himself.
He knows he loves her, even if he can't say it, can't justify it.
He knows he's wrong for her, and it's tearing him up inside.
She lies awake, warmed by Logan's presence at her side in the bed. He is
with her more in sleep than awake these days, his body automatically
moving closer when his mind isn't in control.
She knows he's beating himself up over the nights they spend together,
and her patience, remarked upon by almost every adult member of the
household, is beginning to wear thin.
To the question, "How can you let him treat you like this?" she answers,
"Because I love him. And he loves me."
"How can you be so sure?" they ask, and she smiles but says nothing
more. How can she explain that she knows because she dreams it? That
while she sleeps, he lets his thoughts and feelings seep into her until
she's so aware of his love that she wants to burst.
She waits and watches and hopes, praying he'll reconcile himself to
their love, but knowing that one or the other of them will break if they
don't change the way they're living now. Soon, she'll call his bluff and
he'll have to choose: night or day, alive and together or alone and
merely existing.
The day comes finally when he can no longer do it.
She comes to him that night, illuminated by a flash of lightning that
throws the room into sharp relief. He sees the strain on her face, in
her body and he has had enough.
"No," he says, and he means it.
But he won't let her speak, can't let her convince him that he's made
the wrong decision. He's doing this for her, and he's leaving as fast as
his legs will carry him, away from this place, from her. From love.
He pushes past her with a growl but of course, she follows. Isn't that
what she does? Follows until he gives in? She's like the sea, wearing
away at his defenses, cutting channels into the heart he thought he'd
lost long ago.
He moves quickly and hears her rushing to keep up. He heads for the door
and out into the late summer storm which has blown up out of nowhere,
the sky turned to an early twilight by thick thunderclouds that roil
above. He spares a thought for Storm and realizes his own turmoil has
somehow infected the others in the house, that his behavior has had
consequences and implications for everyone.
He curses and stops, caught between his feelings of responsibility and
his need to flee before he ruins Rogue's life for good.
She slips on the wet grass and bangs into his back, grasping at him to
stay upright.
He turns and once he's sure she's standing on her own two feet, he lets
They face each other in the rain.
"I can't do this anymore, kid. You deserve better. You always have."
"I'm not a kid anymore, Logan. I'm a woman. And I'm in love with you.
Dammit, can't you see that?
"Or don't you want to see it?" she taunts, running her hands over her
body, the light summer dress she wears clinging to every curve, leaving
nothing to his imagination. Not that he needs imagination. His hands and
lips have mapped every curve and hollow -- he's spent nights on the road
reliving in technicolor detail every inch of her body.
He closes his eyes in pain, opens them again. "Marie. I see it. You're
young, beautiful." He can taste her desperation; the scent fills the
air, overpowering ozone and wet grass, belying the insouciance with
which she speaks.
She talks over him, not letting him finish. "I can't touch or be
touched. Ever. I'm learning to live with that. I'm broken." She is
almost sobbing, her bold façade finally failing, and he can feel his
resolve wavering.
"You're not broken," he growls, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her.
"I'm the one who's broken, who can never be fixed. You could have anyone
you wanted. Any man would be proud to have you."
"But I want you," she whispers, and while she may try to pass it off as
the rain, he knows those are tears streaming down her face. "Don't you
see? Alone, we're broken. Together, we're whole."
He closes his eyes again, and opens them when he feels her body press
against him. Against his will, his body responds.
"Tell me you don't love me," she challenges. "Look me in the eye and
tell me you don't love me, and I'll walk away."
He looks down at her, his eyes sliding away to focus on the trees behind
her. "I don't love you," he chokes out, his hands tightening on her
She reaches up and grabs his chin, forcing him to meet her gaze. "Liar,"
she says tenderly, and he is lost.

Should we still be measuring project success on a 'on time', 'to quality', 'in budget' basis'? We all know that the vast majority of projects (actually around 85%) don't deliver against the original baseline and business case.
Given this is the case, and it doesn't really seem to be getting any better, should we be looking for other ways of deciding how projects measure up? Ask yourself two simple questions:
You might well, like us, have answered 'yes' to both questions. Interesting isn't it? But what does it tell us? Whilst time, cost and quality are all important, they certainly don't define success on their own. We'd go a step further and say that actually it tells us next to nothing about the success of an initiative, yet it's used as a measure of successful management. This raises two more really important questions:
Now we, at CITI, think we know the answers to both of these questions but we'd love to hear your views too!

Stuttgart, Germany (PressExposure) August 12, 2009 -- According to InfoCom's latest release of its Broadband Monitoring Service, at end-2008, there were more than 122m broadband connections in the EU-25 representing over 18% increase from the previous year, with prices and access speeds, which have improved significantly. Broadband penetration per household grew to over 62% (+9% YoY). xDSL is still the dominant broadband technology with 74% of the total market followed by cable modem with 14%. 2008 was characterised by a certain uptake of mobile broadband, which increased by 4 percentage points to over 10% in 2008. FTTx connections still represent only 2% of the total broadband market.
Mobile broadband nearly doubled its subscription base in one year from 6.5m to 12.6m in 2008, showing a certain uptake in Europe thanks to the impact of a number of factors, among which price cuts, the offering of flat-rate plans and improved HSPA network coverage. Austria and Finland are the clear market leaders with a relatively high penetration rates compared to the other countries.
The total broadband market in the EU-25 will continue to grow over the next five years despite many countries are reaching saturation levels especially for fixed broadband. The strongest drivers for growth will be fixed broadband for rural areas and, especially, mobile broadband.
About Broadband Quarterly Monitoring Service: The Broadband Quarterly Monitoring is currently available on a yearly subscription basis. It provides a large amount of indicators - among which ULL lines, DSL & FTTx, CaTV and cable modem subscribers, ARPU - for over 30 countries worldwide, with forecasts until 2012. Broadband Quarterly Monitoring is only one of several Quarterly Monitoring Services that InfoCom provides. To know more, please contact us.

Extended Looks like my 3yr 3month ds2 has stopped bf. Feeling a bit sad - but proud(34 Posts)
I havent fed him since monday morning This is the longest he's gone without a bf. He's missed the odd feed here and there either if I've been out or he's forgotten. But if he's missed a night time one he will have had a morning one. He has only been having one before bed and one in the morning since he was about 2 - I think, I can't really remember.
Dh has been wanting him to stop breast feeding for a while now, maybe a year.
Thanks all Yes start a thread , it might help x
We're nearly at the end of the second week. He's still asking every morning and every night. But he's not crying when we explain its all gone. He has tried to get into 'position' a few times which was hard but I just distracted him. He'd jump at the chance to feed if he could :-/
But I'm thinking positive and forward .
Glad it's going ok
It might not have been the best thing but is happened in a good way
I felt the need to write it down at the time too. Talking does help
(Tame under a change)
Hi Garlic, sounds like my DD is a bit different, she is s 'sucker' still and I wonder whether I should have done something about it earlier on. She started throwing almighty tantrums if I try shush/pat or just cuddle instead of falling asleep with a boob in her mouth.
However, she was such a poorly baby with silent reflux and a comfort feeder, she still has gastric issues and it brings her comfort. I think I am going to stick with what we know and try to change routine when she gets more teeth (she is a very late teether and I expect that's also why she is such an adamant comfort sucker.
I may start a thread to ask other extended bf mums about their experience. I have no one to talk to about this and it feels lonely!! xx
Hi Satine5 . ds2 used to always fall asleep whilst feeding - as a very young baby. Then at around 4-6 months I did the pat/shush nap method to try and get him to sleep without being fed. This worked for naps but he still fell asleep at night time during a breast feed. Gradually as he got older he would not fall asleep during his milk ( unless i fed him for ages till late...!) so we started to take him up awake. We were amazed when he first went to sleep ( at night time) from being awake. So pretty much for the last year, most nights he went up to bed awake . After milk and stories. Unless he was incredibly tired and then he'd fall asleep during milk.
He definitely associated night time ( and morning) with having milk . But in the end not actually physically falling asleep with milk . ( is this making sense?!)
About a year ago he had started to become interested in stories AS WELL as milk - as apposed to his only goal at bedtime being MILK!! He would feed - sometimes very quickly on both sides , and then say he was finished. It was as if he wanted it as that was his routine but sometimes it was almost like it was a cursory 'ill do this as its the routine' feed. And If he didn't remember to have both sides he'd get upset when he went to bed and then remembered! Funny little thing! Xxx
He asked again tonight btw but we just had stories and chatted about his teddies
Garlic, it's great to hear that you are feeling more positive about it. Can I just ask you what was your experience of sleep/bf association with your DS?
I am a bit worried that my DD entered a phase when there is no way she will fall asleep without sucking if I am around. On occassions in the past, she was able to fall asleep after a feed, but in my arms but that phase is gone. She needs to have my nipple in my mouth to sleep and although most of the time I don't mind, I would like to have a choice, but she gets so tantrum-y and hysterical, I started to worry a bit and just get on with it for her/my own peace at bedtime.
Thanks for your messages Satine and winged. I am feeling less sad about it and I haven't cried since the weekend. Ds2 was asking for it yesterday eve but the difference is, before , when he was feeding , there would be no way I could calm him and not feed him, but last night I did. He went to sleep happily after a little chat and a cuddle about what he'd done that day.
He asked again this morning but it was as if he knew he wasn't going to get is as he was asking iykwim.
I'm sorry this has made you cry But if it has helped in anyway then it's also a good thing.
You said you don't know anyone else that has fed this far- well I don't/didn't either. I was alone! The only one! By about 2 years!!! My friends were all totally cool with it though.
I loved loved breastfeeding and so did ds2.
Another one here, blubbing.
I hope it's getting easier for both you and your DS, garlic. Sorry that the end came before you were both ready though.
Garlic, Your thread has actually made me cry. I must be feeling particularly hormonal.
I also BF my DD who is 18 and as much as I want her to self wean, she is very firmly attached and I doubt she will consider it before 3 or later. My DH is supportive, I would say very supportive, but not sure if he is going to be when DD is older. She still doesn't sleep through and DH thinks it's because she is BF and has a very strong boob/sleep association. To the point that her word for milk is the same as her word for sleep!
Your thread has really hit home with me-I am not sure wether it is because it reassured me that it's ok to feed way into toddler years (I don't know anyone who does, and come from FF family, so does DH) or whether your weaning story was so sad, clearly not what you wanted to happen and I feel for you.
I am sorry that I have no advice, just wanted to send you hugs and thank you for sharing your story.
Hi, well this morning ds2 asked for milky but he really wasn't that distressed when I said it was all gone. So I didn't feed him.
And this evening as we came down for stories and what used to be milky time he said 'Milkys broken' and I said yes ds2 and made a sad face. Then he had stories and went to bed beautifully . Dh was out with the kids and for a second I thought "ooh I can feed him - nobody's here..! " but I didn't . Ds2 wasn't even really upset it would have been silly if I had. Gosh as I'm writing this my boobs are tingling :-/
I think dh knows how I feel about his attitude .... I've been telling him for a year that he needed to stop going on about how ds2 needed to stop milky - and for a while he did stop saying it. It just sort of started happening again. I don't want to keep having an argument about it . And when I talk about it , I feel upset .
I'm hoping that I've turned a corner with how I feel though. I am feeling more positive and less sad and teary.
Reading your messages in really helping . X
I think you need to have a word with you H regardless in that case, as it sounds like his attitude (which is disrespectful to both you and DS2) could start to cause issues between the boys
And no. I'd go as far as to say it's not actually up to him at all - he's made his opinion perfectly clear, and is going about it in quite a nasty way .
Even if you do decide to stop now, I would let you H know just how much his attitude, frankly, sucks.
You poor love. What a hard place to be in.
Thanks Sirboob. I'm sorry your health has been bad
I really, really wanted him to stop all by himself. Whenever that was - within reason - before 4 I think. And I really didn't see any problem with him feeding. I didn't want it to go on forever but I am sure it would have phased out naturally in the end.
My eldest ds had started calling ds2 a baby when he saw him feed - copying all the things he heard dh say.
I think I am going to see what ds2 says in the morning. See how he is. He hasn't ever cried to a huge degree or been terribly upset when he hasn't been able to have it, and believe me he can get VERY upset over things!! But he has asked for it in a sad, teary way. If he had been desperately upset I would have fed him.
Dh still thinks he is right. He said 'he's too old'. I know that if I did feed him tommorow he would think this was a wasted opportunity to stop. But it's not entirely up to him is it?
He weaned himself in October. I was relieved and sad all at once. Relieved because my health has been so crap, and having him on my lap or even laying down to feed was getting so painful (I can't lay on my hips for more than a few minutes) and sad because... Well, think that goes without saying.
You want my honest opinion? I'd have harsh words with your H, and tell your DS he could feed if he wanted to. But that is only because you sound so miserable over the way things have ended. You could tell DS that your milk / boobs / whatever he calls them are all fixed now, so he can have some if he would like.
On the other hand, if he is coping okay without it (and it sounds like you are dealing with him wonderfully over it), then I think it may be worth thinking about much longer from now you would have ideally wanted to have feed him for.
Big hugs either way. xx
Sirboob how long has it been since your ds had his milks? I wonder how long it would take for him to forget.
And would it be terrible/wrong if I let him feed tommorow if he asked?
I'm very tempted .
Oh Garlic, big big hugs. I'm so sorry your H wasn't supportive, your DS asking if he could have milk now daddy was gone made me well up.
DS has been asking for milk today, so I let him try to latch, of course he had forgotten. He was then asking where the hole was for the milk to come out. I made a joke out of it, and we giggled for a while, but it made me a bit sad - with all the gyne problems I now have, I don't know if I will ever have another baby, and breastfeeding being really really over upset me a little bit. The little darling, he then tucked my boob (he still calls my breasts ''milks'' even though he knows what they are called) back into my nightie and said, "I tuck your milks back in now Mummy. I'll give it a kiss first! Thank you milks. [DS] look after you. Aww, love you milks." It made me well up a little bit.
We have had cuddles this evening watching a DVD. And stories . I'm not not cuddling him, just being careful not to make him think of milky iykwim.
I've cried a few times today I got really quite upset at his bedtime (after he'd gone to bed) as he was asking for milky again. I told him it was broken. He said 'why mummy?' I said 'sometimes things just break baby' I told him that it's ok to be sad and that I was sad too. The other night I stuck plasters over my nipples (ouch) to reinforce the broken milk scenario. I know it's a lie but I didn't want to say 'we can't have milky cos daddy doesn't want us to'
I told dh I was upset and that I only agreed to this as I truly thought ds2 would change his mind after one missed feed- but he didn't .... I'm gutted.
I have tried all this time to let him self wean and now I've done this. We weren't hurting anybody while feeding . I was so upset tonight , Dh told me I should go and feed him now or in the morning. Now that would be ridiculous and very confusing for him after a whole week.
That's sad garlic. I haven't weaned a child off nursing before (so I'm speaking from instinct not experience), and I can see how you'd maybe not want to 'tempt' him by holding him close but I think you could be cuddling him when you and he want to.
He's going through a change at the moment, by stopping nursing, it would maybe be good to show him that it doesn't mean the end of cuddles and moments of undivided attention. The message: Mum can comfort him without milk and she still loves him lots. Maybe reading would be good because he'd be sitting with his back to mummy but still close and cuddly?
I know people are different about making changes and maybe he would find it tempting, but if your instinct is to hold him close, I wouldn't fight it. If he gets upset or confused about missing milk you can talk about it together.
He's weaning off milk, not mum!
(and grrrr @ insensitive H and watch out for him undermining you and the children in other ways - its not a nice attitude at all, children grow up because its what happens and what they instinctively want to do, they don't need dad bullying them into it - from experience it just makes one feel insecure) Sorry - projecting a bit. Totally understand why you decided to go with it though, if DS wasn't ready to stop then I doubt it would've worked. But I reckon if he's ready then he should probably be able to hug you without being too upset by not nursing. Sounds like you miss the cuddles and could do with one.
Nothing to add, I stopped because I went back to work and DD2 would not take to bf at home and bottle at nursery. It felt too soon, she was 9.5 months, I felt really emotional about it. Again was in part making amends as just could not do it with DD1.
Well done with doing so long and I too would feel out if sorts with DH.
It wil be fine , I stopped last year when my DS was 3.4 and he still talks about it just the other day he said that he had been fed the best way not with a bottle! (must have been nursery talking about it not something I have ever said). As a bonus I have lost a lot of weight since stopping and by looking on MN seems that is not uncommon after stopping extended breastfeeding.
Hi Spiritedwolf , I am annoyed with dh about it. He's been saying ds2 should stop for ages and ages. He said it to him and me and the other children in front of ds2. In fact when he'd gone to work in the mornings , ds2 would say 'I can have milky now cos daddy's gone ' . He could have had it when he was there - but ds2 knew ( even at age 2) that dh didn't want him to have it. Dh used to say all the time 'he doesn't need it , he's too big ' etc
I told him that by continually saying that he's not helping. I think ds2 would have stopped himself if dh had never behaved like this . About a year ago he started to forget a few bedtime feeds and I think that would hv continued but by dh saying hd should stop it made him more determined to feed.
But saying all this I do agree that he did have to stop at some point and if that time is now , well I should go with it. If ds2 had really resisted to the 'getting a treat' plan then I would not have gone ahead with it .
I'm scared to cuddle him too much in the mornings and bedtimes at the moment in case he wants a feed . I don't want him to feel like I'm teasing/tempting/reminding him. And I miss that but I'm sure in a few weeks when the new way is established it will be ok to cuddle loads in bed again .
and I'm so bloody minded I'd offer to feed DS forever just to make a point maybe not, but that's how I'd feel!
You've done so well to get to this point I'd imagine you haver some of that bitter sweet 'my baby is growing up, I'm loving discovering who they are becoming but I do miss them being small' feeling.
I wonder if you are annoyed at your DH though, and if that's why you posted? I would be extremely annoyed if my DH tried to force an end to breastfeeding with a bribe without my prior agreement.
If you and your son are ready to stop then that's fine, it just stuck me that it seemed to be taken out of your hands and I wondered if that was affecting how you were feeling about stopping.
My DS is only 5.5months and I don't know how long we'll feed for, but I'd want it to be DS's decision, or mine and I'd have stern words for any one who said he was too old (starting with asking the rude individual what age they were when they stopped drinking cow's milk). I would be upset at my DH undermining breastfeeding in front of DS or trying to get him to stop. As a parent, he could talk to me about it if he was concerned about the feeding for some reason, but not in front of DS, and I'd be furious if he tried to manipulate him into stopping before either of us were ready.
Your DS may well be ready since he hasn't resisted it, so it's totally up to you if you want to take advantage of the lack of feeding and to carry on and refuse if he asks. I'm just saying I could understand if you were annoyed at your DH for initiating the stop in the way he did and felt you'd been cheated out of making the last feed special (though I'm sure it was).
As none of the other posters have reacted this way, and as you didn't say it, maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and thinking too much about how I'd feel if it was DS.
Thank you
I wish I was self weaning him - we had been but I don't feel this is strictly self weaning anymore as I have refused now. He woke this morning at about 5am and asked for milky. He was sort of still half asleep. Normally I'd have said he could in the morning , but today I said it had all gone
He was upset but I managed to comfort him and he got though it.
He also asked this evening but I distracted him with stories.
I've ordered his 'I'm a big boy' treat online this evening , he will so excited when it arrives
I'm also beast feeding a 3.4 year old and can only dream of the day he self weans. Having come this far I really do want him to wean when he's ready but I'm so over it, even though he's down to just the bedtime feed. It's harder because I'm also feeding my 12m old DD so I can't go down the 'my babas are poorly' road and he's not open to bribery either!
If ever a typo were apt
Feel hugely proud, well done!! My DS weaned himself in October, just before he turned three, and I still feel a bit sad at times. He's asked a few times since, mainly when I've said no to things but we talked about how it was gone, and then looked at me and said, "It's gone because I drank it all", which he thought was hilarious.
He had been going a few days without feeding, or forgetting to ask etc, and then one day, I realised it had been about five days, and that was it.
I do miss it a little bit, but at the same time, am so glad I was able to give him the opportunity to do it in his own time.

Home Page Potential Lawsuit Florida Premises Liability
Florida Premises Liability
Were you looking for Premises Liability, LA lawsuits?
By Heidi Turner
Florida property owners and operators have a duty to ensure their premises are safe, free from hazards and, where applicable, properly secured. Failure to do so can result in devastating injuries for the people who visit or live on certain premises. When a person is injured while visiting a Florida property, that person may be eligible to file a lawsuit to recover lost wages, medical expenses, and compensation for pain and suffering. The amount of Florida premises liability depends on the legal classification of the victim.
Under Florida premises liability law, property owners can be liable for situations in which a visitor to their property is harmed. This can include guests at apartment buildings, amusement parks, diners at restaurants, clients in an office, or friends visiting a home. The liability of the property owner depends on whether the visitor is classified as a trespasser, licensee, or invitee.
Florida Premises Liability Law
Trespasser: someone who is not supposed to be on the property at the time of injury; has not been invited or does not have the right to be on the premises;
Licensee: is on the property only for his own benefit and has the permission to be there but has not been induced to enter the premises, such as social guests, including people who stop by unexpectedly; and
Invitee: granted the most legal protection; has been invited on the land either due to a business dealing or because he or she is a member of the public and the premises are open to the public.
Property owners owe the highest duty to invitees, especially those who have been invited to the property for personal or business reasons. Lower duties of care are owed to licensees or trespassers, although in some situations owners can be held liable for injuries to those groups. Exceptions include when the trespasser is on the property due to an attractive nuisance, such as a swimming pool.
To prove a premises liability claim, the victim must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the danger, the property owner failed to fix or warn about the danger, and the victim was injured by that danger.
Florida premises negligent security claims involve incidents where a person is attacked or injured by another person on a third-party's property. This can involve situations where the property owner has failed to install adequate lighting or security measures, or should have provided security guards to protect guests or residents.
Florida Premises Negligent Security
The results of negligent security can be devastating for victims. Negligent security claims can involve instances of violence, assault, sexual assault and, in some cases, death.
Slip and fall lawsuits are among the most common premises liability lawsuits business owners face. Property owners—including business owners—must ensure their areas inside and outside the premises are safe, including entryways and parking lots. Other Florida premises liability claims involve:
Florida Premises Liability Slip and Fall
Florida property owners are required to construct and maintain their premises in a manner that keeps visitors and guests safe from hazards. This includes ensuring that structures are built and maintained in a safe manner and there is no dangerous debris or hazardous materials that could cause harm.
Florida Premises Liability Faulty Construction
In October 2016, a woman who was injured in a nightclub shooting in July filed a lawsuit against the nightclub owners alleging inadequate security allowed the shooting to occur. The nightclub was hosting a swimsuit party and teenagers were told they only needed to pay $5 entry fees if they wore bathing suits to the event. The plaintiff's younger brother and another teen were killed in the shooting.
Florida Premises Liability Lawsuit
Plaintiffs allege the nightclub had a history of violent activities yet the owners failed to provide adequate security to ensure teenagers were protected.

Washington seeks to renegotiate free trade deal with South Korea
The United States has told South Korea it wants to renegotiate a free trade agreement signed under the Barack Obama administration.
"We can and must do better," US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in a statement on Thursday.
Lighthizer called for a committee meeting on the subject within thirty days. The meeting would work to remove barriers to US trade and consider needed amendments to the 2012 agreement.
According to reports, the US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) became law in March 2012. That year, the US trade deficit with South Korea was $7.7 billion while it was $17.6 billion last year.
Lighthizer added, "President Trump continues to keep his promises to lower our trade deficit and negotiate better trade deals for American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses."
The decision comes as US President Donald Trump had earlier called the agreement a horrible deal and a one-way street.
"For many, many years, the United States has suffered through massive trade deficits...we'll be changing that," Trump said during the June 30 meeting with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in.
Trump had withdrawn from the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership agreement in January.
The Republican president has further plans to renegotiate the NAFTA free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada.
'Not obligatory for South Korea to comply with US proposal'
South Korea has responded to a US request for talks on a free-trade agreement between the two countries, saying its unclear if the deal is causing an intensifying imbalance.
"Under the FTA, it is not necessarily obligatory for our side to comply with the US proposal for amending the FTA," its ministry of trade, industry and energy said in a statement.
The South Korean foreign ministry also stressed that Seoul and Washington should consider revising the trade accord only after reaching a consensus on the need for a change.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, what part of the body could be used to symbolize Miss Maudie?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think the body part that best represents Miss Maudie in To Kill a Mockingbird would have to be her false teeth--her bridgework. Miss Maudie has
... two minute prongs clipped to her eyeteeth...
which Scout loves to see removed from her mouth. Scout "admired them" so much that she hopes to have a pair herself one day. Miss Maudie seems to understand this, and
With a click of her tongue she thrust out her bridgework, a gesture of cordiality that cemented our friendship.
The teeth not only symbolize Maudie's independent and sometimes eccentric behavior, but they also serve to show the words of wisdom that she often presents in the form of advice to Jem and Scout. Like Atticus, she answers the children's questions truthfully; unlike Miss Stephanie, she never resorts to gossip. She faithfully defends Atticus and explains to Jem and Scout why he is the most important man in all of Maycomb.

Dementia sufferers despair as care home ordered to remove art because it is a 'fire risk'
A CARE home has been turned into a prison by fire safety zealots, angry healthcare workers have claimed.
Dementia sufferers at the home have been left "severely distressed" after bosses were ordered to remove all art on their walls as it was a "fire risk".
The pioneering nursing home was one of the first in the UK to use paintings to inspire, calm and motivate residents coping with end-stage Alzheimer's.
But they were told by a fire inspector to take down the art leaving elderly residents so upset that some have refused to eat their meals.
Other dementia sufferers have started wandering the corridors of The Clipstone Hall Residential Care Home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire aimlessly.
Care home manager Linda Britain, 38, said: "At the end of the day we are a home, not an institution or a hospital, and now it feels more like a prison."
The people who go into these places are going in there to die and if their last few months can be made a little happier then that should be the priority
Staff at the nursing home had worked with the Alzheimer's Society to pioneer the art-based treatment following a campaign from relatives.
All the displays, which were devised by dementia experts, could have been touched by residents as they walked the corridors.
But employees said the formerly bright and cheerful atmosphere has completely changed - and it is distressing residents.
Ms Britain said: "People who suffer from dementia tend to walk up and down corridors aimlessly, in a world of their own, and it can be very difficult for staff to interact with them.
"But having these visual aids, as well as the textured pieces, means staff can bring residents out of their shell by asking them questions, or asking them to describe things."
Ms Britain said removing the art from the walls has had a "devastating impact" on elderly residents.
She explained that one woman used to suffer anxiety attacks when she was asked to enter an area full of people but the paintings helped calm her down.
Ms Britain said within 20 minutes the art had helped remove her anxiety but now the paintings have been removed she stays tense for up to three hours.
She said another resident cries every night now the walls are bare because she thinks the care home has been burgled.
Joyce Banbury, 62, visited her 92-year-old mother Annie Addis at the care home until she died a year ago and now volunteers at Clipstone Hall.
She said: "The place looks absolutely awful now.
"The people who go into these places are going in there to die and if their last few months can be made a little happier then that should be the priority.
"We had a meeting with the fire inspector last week and he really wouldn't listen - it just makes you think that he has got it in for us for some reason."
Ms Britain added Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue's reasons for ordering to remove the art has not been explained in a way that they fully understood.
She said: "They just told us that, as the corridors were escape routes, they had to be 'sterile'.
"Their concern was not that the displays would catch on fire, but that increased heat could cause more smoke from the displays.
"But the spray that treated the displays guarantees four hours of fire and smoke resilience - which is over three hours longer than the fire doors can offer, so it seems pointless to me.
"We've had these displays up for four years now and there's never been a problem with it before."
Sherwood MP Mark Spencer said he has written to Nottinghamshire's chief fire officer asking him to over-rule the decision.
He said: "I went to look around the home quite recently and one of the things they are really proud of is the artwork on the walls.
"It's not just that it looks nice, it's really important for the residents - it' s the familiarity of the images that are genuinely beneficial.
"What we have is an overly enthusiastic member of staff at Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue who hasn't got the balance right."
The Alzheimer's Society said it was "disappointing" the art had been removed from the care home.
George McNamara, Head of Policy and Public Affairs, said: "It is disappointing that the art work has been removed.
"Fire safety and a vibrant and engaging care environment are both important issues, but in this case they haven't gone hand-in-hand.
"Reminiscence, in the form of pictures or other visual aids, can be a valuable tool for communication and engagement with someone with dementia, as well as giving that homely feel.
"Hopefully a compromise can be found that enables residents to continue art-based activities whilst not increasing any potential fire risk."
Vic McMillen, who is in charge of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue's fire protection team, added: "All business owners have a legal obligation to ensure their premises, and all those who use them, are protected from fire.
"We are happy to work with any business owner to help them interpret the current guidance so they can continue providing stimulating and comfortable surroundings without comprising people's safety."

It really depends on where you live and what kind of roses you like. Roses need sunshine, heat, fertilizer, water, and bug protection. Some areas of the country are not as well suited to roses, but if you are willing to amend the soil, invest in a quality plant (Jackson & Perkins roses are excellent), and water and fertilize regularly you should be successful at growing roses. Keep in mind that it takes several years for the plant to become established, so don't expect too much right away. If you really want to grow the best roses, your best bet is to join your local rose society, most groups meet in the evening once a month and will have featured speakers and rosarians to answer your questions. I hope this wasn't too much information!
P.S. I would always put cut up banana peel and coffee grounds around my rose roots in addition to rose fertilizer, they always gave me lots of blooms!

Pictures and video from Jeremy of Surf City Sailing, in Santa Cruz. There was significant surging in the S.C. harbor, reportedly 10 boats and at least one floating dock have sunk. Nothing like what has happened in Japan, but people are very nervous here on the California Coast.
As reported by Jeremy on S/A
Santa Cruz Harbor is fucked! At least 10 sunken boats of various ilk. My Newport 33 is still secure, but the dock next door is nonexistant… along with all of the boats that were tied to her. It's a mess, and the whole place was in panic mode. This aint gonna be pretty when the dust settles. Gotta go deal, it's still surging.
The initial surge hit around 8:10am. The harbor basically sucked dry, and you could see sand almost all the way across the entrance. Lots of keels in the mud. Then the harbor filled with the strength of whitewater rapids. As it filled, looking south from the bridge which bisects the lower harbor from the upper harbor, I could see the masts raise like the wave at a baseball game. It was surreal to watch. This initial wave loosened several boats, and cracked 'U' Dock away from its pilings.

A £19 million funding package for developing low carbon vehicles will help to secure 10,000 jobs in the Midlands car industry, said Lord Mandelson.
The business secretary launched the initiative for research and development at the University of Warwick, adding that the funding would be channelled through a new low carbon economic area (LCEA) in the region.
He said jobs in the industry would be secured by the funding initiative's plan to change them into green car posts of the future.
"I want to see the Midlands help the UK to lead the global automotive industry in the transition from conventional to low carbon vehicle technologies," said Lord Mandelson.
"The LCEA will send a clear signal to the global market about the Midlands' strengths in advanced automotive engineering," he added.
"The move towards a low carbon economy presents huge opportunities."
