Hot Tools Professional 1" 24K Gold Marcel Iron Reviews
Not good!!Perhaps I should purchase mine from a different store.....not sure that would make a difference. I always get mine at Sally Beauty Supply and I go through them like I change my underware!! It always stops working because something goes wrong with it where the cord goes into the actual handle. I don't wrap it or crimp the cord in any way. Just this morning as I was using it there was a big elec...read moretric surge, a popping sound and done. The thing was dead. I have gone through probably at least six of them in the past two years!!! Not happy!! — 2 years, 2 months agojudy_herrera | 1 reviews

Marcel is the BEST curling IronsThe Marcel grip may take beginners a little getting used to but they far outweigh ANY of the spring clip release types. I have used the Marcel Grip for over 20 years and would never switch back. This particular model is one of the better ones out there. — 2 years, 11 months agoStamp_My_Art | 1 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: I have had a problem with smail, and I had solved it... :) my apologies to extra bandwidth... I had better explain myself... It turns out smail could not connect to my smarthost's smtp port, but I could with telnet... bizzarre, but its true. I only now, cannot connect with telnet, so I changed to the slower smtp.* host, not the great, almighty and fast mail.* host.. :) Anyway, turns out now that I cant `fetchmail` mail from the pop server, (well, "no mail for mickyb on mail.es.co.nz" for about an hour.. even after sending stuff to myself.. (different server should work, a friend does it that way)) but that must be a new technical problem at the ISP's end.. time to do some yelling.. :) Michael Beattie (email@example.com) PGP Key available, reply with "pgpkey" as subject. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WinErr: 016 Error buffer overflow - Too many errors encountered.

Double check the adjustment in all gears. In low gear, you should be able to see that the sprocket moves faster than the wheel, and the hub should not make a ticking sound while being pedaled forward. In middle gear, the sprocket should move at the same speed as the wheel, and you may hear a slow ticking as you pedal. In high gear, the wheel should turn faster than the sprocket. The same slow ticking may be audible in high gear.
If you hold the trigger halfway between middle and high gear, the hub should disengage so that you can spin the pedals forward without going anywhere. If it freewheels forward in high gear, the cable is to tight or has too much friction to release properly. If it freewheels forward in middle gear, the cable is too loose.
If you're anything like me, you will have to make many minute adjustments to the cable tension until you get it just right. The key points again: 1) properly seat indicator spindle in hub; 2) freewheel in high gear means cable is too tight; 3) freewheel in middle gear or low gear means cable is too loose; 4) there should be no ticking sound when pedaled forward in low gear; 5) hub should freewheel between 2nd and 3rd gear.
If you would like to read Sheldon Brown's original article in its entirely, go here. Sheldon also has lots of other great information about three speed (a.k.a. planetary, or epicyclic) gearing, including diagrams that show what's going on in there.
By the way, my experience related here is based on the Sturmey-Archer AW hub that is original to my Columbia, I have no experience with other S-A models or other hub-geared systems.

I upgraded my acer aspire 5755G-9417 to windows 8.
First time I want to use bluetooth, I go to the search menu on the right of windows and I look for bluetooth. I find "change bluetooth settings" so I open it, I make my computer visible and I activate bluetooth. No problem at all.
(Except that my FN + F3 key doesn't allow me anymore to turn of bluetooth, only wifi is left over).
Next day, I want to go to the same procedure again, but that doesn't work anymore. I can still find the "change bluetooth settings" in the search but when I clic on it it doesn't open.
I find out I should go to change PC settings and turn on bluetooth there under the wireless tab, but there is no bluetooth.
I went to the acer website and downloaded the bluetooth driver for my notebook under windows 8. Found two of them : Bluetooth Atheros and Bluetooth Broadcom. Broadcom can't install because it detects no plugged bluetooth device, Atheros seem to work though. Now Bluetooth appears in the settings but I still can't turn it on, it is all greyish.
I tried everything I could and I have no clue on how to solve it.
I also tried a system recovery back to when I just changed to windows 8 but it didn't help.
Can someone help ?
(I am sure my computer has bluetooth as I used it a lot under windows 7).
Unfortunately, the only suggestion I will be able to make is to return the system to the shipping operating system, Windows 7, and make sure that the hardware works there.

i've the same issue...
it's impossible that i can't use the bluetooth after upgrading to windows 8...what a mess!
there is nothing to do? with some driver installation or an acer software made for?
please give us a solution!
I'm sorry that the two of you are having this problem. Your laptops are desgined for Windows 7, and although I love windows 8, your systems are not designed for it. When you upgraded to 8, you lost your drivers, which are designed for your equipment AND Windows 7. The Windows 8 drivers you installed are not identical to that first set of drivers.
You can try to re-install Windows 7. You can take your machine to a reputable computer shop to see if they can get Bluetooth going. Or you can go on the internet some other way.
Same problems here; cannot enable Intel Centrino N-6205 controller for Bluetooth ops.
I did download the latest applicable Intel drivers and Wireless mgmt tools, but to no avail.
Also, may I add, that since upgrading to Windows 8 and later 8.1 the Acer Aspire 5755G hangs when doing automatic maintenance tasks; when I start Windows maintenance manually everythings works well.
I went back to the store where I bought the Laptop, I called Acer, the only thing they tell you is to re-install Win7.
Well, I will remember that when I buy my next set of laptops.
Remember, folks, YOU HAVE A CHOICE IN THE STORE!!!!

Be thankful for rights we do have
I thank God (you may substitute any spiritual entity or philosophical thought) I was born and raised in the U.S. I thank God my parents made an effort to understand my sexuality. I thank God I have the intelligence to choose what is right and wrong. For 35 years I have listened to, read about and seen individuals who bash our country. It's about "gay this" or "gay that." "Gay marriage, gay rights, we're denied this, we don't have that!"
Living in the U.S. I have never had the fear of kissing my boyfriend in the morning before we both left for work or in the evening before we went to sleep. I've kissed him in public without fear of being hauled off to jail. I have never been afraid of being arrested for holding hands with my partner out in public or snuggling up against him while watching a scary movie at the theater. Last, but certainly not least, I have never had the fear of imprisonment because of my orientation.
My parents were quite stunned when I told them about my orientation. I anticipated their reaction because my parents are Hispanic, Catholic and uneducated. I didn't make the mistake of "throwing it in their face," or giving them ultimatums like, "If you can't deal with this, then it's your problem!" I've known my parents for 35 years and I knew the best approach. I was never abandoned, rejected or abused for sharing my wonderful orientation with them. Some parents already know, some will never know — we can only use our own judgment and knowledge of our relationship with our parents to make the decision whether we should tell them. I never allowed anyone to tell me I should tell my parents or "come out" to the public. It's my business and no one else's.
Finally, the political or social decisions I have made have not been based on my sexual orientation. I don't vote for anyone just because they're gay. I vote for the individual who has experience, is best qualified and addresses the issues that are important to me: lights in my neighborhood, street repairs and the construction of a park for the children in our neighborhood. Yes, Mildred, there is such a thing as a "crooked gay politician."
I don't shop at stores just because they're gay owned. I shop where I can get what I want without having to pay an arm and a leg. I often find myself walking by most of the stores along Cedar Springs because they're overpriced and sell items I just don't need.
I don't allow anyone to interpret the Bible for me or tell me Jesus loves me. I live in the real world. I work, pay taxes and take the garbage out. I know we (gays) are targets of crime, but so are heterosexuals. We're assaulted because of who we are, but so are heterosexuals who are Hispanic, African-American, caucasian, women, Jews, etc. Compare the number of heterosexuals who are the victims of general crime with those who are gay. "Hate crimes" are just that, hate crimes, and we are all victims of those.
At one point in our history, African-Americans and women could not vote. That has changed! No one ever imagined we would have an African-American as president. It's changed, it's now a reality. Oh, about the marriage thing … it's coming. But consider this, the divorce rate in the U.S. is up to over 50 percent. I know, I know, we're still entitled to marriage, but next time you start complaining about what rights we don't have in the U.S., think about and appreciate the rights we do have. Just something to think about.

Congratulations, Todd Camp
Re: "LGBT Person of the Year: Todd Camp" (Dallas Voice, Jan. 1):
The past six months have brought tremendous positive changes to Fort Worth's LGBT community. I was standing next to Todd Camp the night of the Rainbow Lounge raid. His response to the events were immediate and without hesitation. While many people assisted Todd in the Herculean efforts made, the lion's share of credit goes to Todd Camp for his willingness to take the lead.
The events that night have changed many lives, and Todd Camp is a fantastic role model. I believe the Fort Worth LGBT community has more respect because of him. Congratulations, Todd.

Online: Selections for state football bowls announced at 3:30 p.m. today at cifstate.org
CHULA VISTA — Four years ago, freshman Dillon Baxter made Mission Bay coach Willie Matson a promise.
Last night he delivered as the USC recruit broke the section season rushing record and equaled the single-game touchdown mark of seven as Mission Bay buried Valley Center 48-17 in the Division IV championship at Southwestern College.
"I told him I'd get him a ring," said Baxter, who came off the field and went right over to Matson to give him a hug after his 384 yards on 26 carries gave him 2,974 on the season, surpassing the 2,866 set by Cathedral Catholic's Tyler Gaffney in 14 games last year.
This was the Bucs coach's fourth trip to the finals and it became obvious after a close first quarter that the crown would be his first and heading toward Pacific Beach. That's because Baxter was virtually unstoppable on a field made sloppy by heavy rains.
After bulling his way for a 6-yard touchdown on the Bucs' first drive, Baxter added TDs of 21, 9 and 92 yards in the second quarter as Mission Bay jumped in front 28-3 and never appeared threatened by the Jaguars, who got 253 yards on 48 rushes by senior Stanton Upson.
The 92-yard TD came when Mission Bay (13-0) recovered a fumble as Valley Center (11-2) drove to the Bucs' 8. With 52 seconds remaining until the break, Baxter took off to his left and flashed speed that was uncanny on the perilous footing, racing untouched for the backbreaker.
"Coach said we needed a big play to finish them off," said Baxter, who knows the odds are extremely long that Mission Bay will get a State Championship Bowl bid even though the Bucs are undefeated with a serious Mr. Football candidate.
"I told the offensive line I needed them to make one more block before the half and like they did the whole game, they opened a huge hole. I couldn't have gained any of those yards without that line."
Down 28-3 and unable to mount a consistent passing attack, the Jaguars went back to a sure thing — Upson, who surpassed 2,000 yards this season.
But Baxter added scores of 87, 1 and 46 yards before calling it a night.
"You get spoiled watching Dillon, but the defense really stepped up tonight," said Matson, who clearly was basking in his first title. "Winning Division IV and beating a team like Valley Center is a real accomplishment."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

The rematch of one of college basketball's best games of the season ended with Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim ejected Saturday night after he charged onto the court to argue a block/charge call.
Rodney Hood scored 13 points and drew that game-changing charging call that helped No. 5 Duke beat No. 1 Syracuse 66-60 in Durham, N.C.
Jabari Parker scored 19 points for the Blue Devils (22-6, 11-4 Atlantic Coast Conference). Jerami Grant had 17 points and C.J. Fair, who was called for the charge, finished with 13 for the Orange (25-2, 12-2).
"I just thought that was the worst call of the year, that's all," Boeheim said.
Syracuse had the ball down 60-58 when Fair drove for an apparent tying layup. But official Tony Greene whistled Fair for charging — and Boeheim shot onto the court to argue. Greene slapped him with two technical fouls and ejected him.
Syracuse beat Duke 91-89 in overtime in the teams' first meeting.
Florida 75, Mississippi 71: Scottie Wilbekin scored 18 points, and the No. 2 Gators (25-2, 14-0 Southeastern Conference) rallied to beat the Rebels (16-11, 7-7) in Oxford, Miss. Florida held Ole Miss leading scorer Marshall Henderson without a point in the second half after he had 22 in the first half.
Wichita State 83, Drake 54: Tekele Cotton had 21 points, and the No. 3 Shockers (29-0, 16-0 Missouri Valley Conference) routed the visiting Bulldogs (14-14, 5-11).
Arizona 88, Colorado 61: Freshman Aaron Gordon scored 21 of his season-best 23 points in the second half, and Nick Johnson added 20 points as the No. 4 Wildcats (25-2, 12-2 Pac-12) beat the Buffaloes (20-8, 9-6) in Boulder, Colo.
New Mexico 58, San Diego State 44: Cameron Bairstow scored 26 points to lead the Lobos (21-5, 12-2 Mountain West) past the No. 6 Aztecs (23-3, 12-2) in Albuquerque, N.M.
Louisville 58, Cincinnati 57: Russ Smith's 18-foot jumper with 2.2 seconds left sent the No. 11 Cardinals (23-4, 12-2 American Athletic Conference) past the No. 7 Bearcats (24-4, 13-2) in Cincinnati.
USF 64, Pacific 59: Cole Dickerson scored 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as the Dons (18-10, 11-5 West Coast Conference) defeated the Tigers (14-13, 5-11) at War Memorial Gym.
Santa Clara 89, Saint Mary's 83: Montana Walters scored 26 points and Nici Gilday added 23 to lead the Broncos (9-18, 5-11 WCC) past the Gaels (20-7, 10-6) in Moraga. Danielle Mauldin led Saint Mary's with 24 points and 16 rebounds. Jackie Nared added 21 points.
Pacific 83, USF 65: Kiki Moore had 21 points to help the Tigers (16-10, 11-5 WCC) beat the Dons (9-18, 4-12) in Stockton. Taj Winston led USF with 17 points.
Connecticut 92, Houston 41: Bria Hartley and Stefanie Dolson scored 24 points apiece, and the No. 1 Huskies (28-0, 15-0 American Athletic Conference) routed the host Cougars (5-22, 1-15).
Gonzaga 72, Portland 61: The No. 25 Bulldogs (24-4, 13-2) clinched at least a share of their 10th straight WCC title with a win over the Pilots (14-13, 7-9) in Spokane, Wash.

Environmental groups are lambasting proposed changes to Marin's Local Coastal Program outlined this month by California Coastal Commission staff. The Sierra Club and the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin claim that the plan, which will regulate development in the county's coastal zone for the foreseeable future, represents a drastic shift from current land-use policies and could spark a rash of development on agriculturally zoned parcels.
In response, commission staff published a report on Wednesday defusing many of those claims, and county planners accused critics of distorting the proposal by using a unit of measurement—square feet—that exaggerates the potential for development.
The changes in regulations on agricultural lands are meant to strengthen the ability of farmers and ranchers to maintain their operations by making it easier to build an additional home for family members and housing for workers. (The coastal commission is holding a hearing on the plan on today.)
The Sierra Club's alert, sent last week, claims the new L.C.P. would allow "over 1 million square feet" of residential and commercial development on agriculturally zoned land. It says this development could take place "by right," since permits for a farmhouse and one intergenerational home—what they call "bonus" housing—could not be appealed to the commission. Nor could up to 5,000 square feet of processing facilities for products made on-site, or up to 500 square feet for sales. According to the alert, that "goes way too far."
"Without the public's right to participate in public hearings and to appeal permits for the siting, design, and location of over 1 million square feet of new development there is no chance that Marin's stunning coastal zone will be protected," the Sierra Club wrote.
The current L.C.P. allows one residence per legal lot as a conditional use—meaning it can be appealed to the commission. But Planning Commissioner Wade Holland, who represents West Marin, noted that there is no current cap on how large a residence can be, making the new plan more restrictive.
To Mr. Holland, measuring in square feet makes the development potential appear extreme; a million square feet amounts to less than a tenth of one percent of agriculturally zoned land in Marin's coastal zone.
In its letter responding to the commission's staff report, the EAC called the proposed amount of residential development unacceptable, and alleged that the L.C.P. changes the definition of a parcel from all contiguous legal lots owned by the same person to each assessor's parcel.
The commission responded this week that the group was misreading the section; in fact, all contiguous lots will still be considered a single parcel subject to a 7,000 square-foot cap for residential development. (They did, however, clarify the L.C.P.'s language to make this explicit.)
The county also clarified that, given existing restrictions, such as conservation easements, the maximum number of intergenerational homes possible in the coastal zone is 27. In addition, of the 193 parcels in the agricultural zone, 83 have not yet been developed to their residential capacity.
Commission staff also wrote that the proposed L.C.P. "includes clear and certain criteria that must be adhered to in order for development to be allowed. These criteria… have been refined [from the existing L.C.P.] to be more protective of coastal resources." Furthermore, the report says, "there is little indication that farmers might want to pursue such development schemes."
According to county planning manager Jack Liebster, the new plan would tighten protections for natural resources and more strictly regulate how development is sited on agricultural lands (through clustering requirements and the requirement that the farm's owner or operator live in the first farmhouse).
As far as allowing residential development "by right"—phrasing the commission argues is inaccurate—all projects must still adhere to the L.C.P. Although they are not appealable to the commission, they are are appealable to Marin County's Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. The language of the proposed L.C.P. stipulates that 7,000 square feet is a maximum allowance, not "a mandatory entitlement or guaranteed right to development."
Mr. Liebster said the allowance of multiple homes on ranches and dairies is meant to ensure that multiple generations can operate farms, so parents can pass down the farm to children without having to leave the land.
The commission argues that allowing more than one house as a principal permitted use will ease pressures to divide agricultural property and keep parcels large enough to remain agriculturally viable.
The 7,000 square-foot cap on cumulative development, Mr. Liebster said, would actually prevent the "showboat" houses the E.A.C. fears because it would allow two or three reasonably sized homes. "Few bona fides ranches want big houses. They just want to do their ranching, their farming," he said.
At least one Sierra Club member expressed concerns about last week's blast. David Haskell, the chair of the Sierra Club's Bay Chapter Zero Waste Committee, posted an open letter on Facebook stating that the language of a million square feet "does not contribute to rational discussion," and that it amounted to about 22 acres. Marin's coastal zone contains over 30,000 acres zoned for agricultural use.

The assistant attorney general reviewing whether Utah should sue the feds in a bid to control millions of acres of public lands believes all of the discussion and debate championed by conservative Rep. Ken Ivory has turned the issue from a joke into a legitimate movement.
During a discussion before the Commission on Federalism on Tuesday, assistant a.g. Tony Rampton dropped Democrat Pat Shea's name as evidence the land-transfer effort is picking up steam, though a lawsuit may not be the way to go.
"Pat Shea is a very dear friend of mine, we grew up together," Rampton said. "Anybody who knows Pat, the former director of the BLM, knows that he's an Irishman with a short fuse. I've been in several meetings with Pat where he simply stands up and basically says 'You guys are nuts. This is ridiculous.' I happened to hear the debate that took place at the public library a couple of weeks ago [with Shea and Ivory on opposite sides] and Pat Shea stood up and said, 'Wait a minute. This is not the way to go about it, you don't do this in one fell swoop. What you do is start talking and negotiate something that makes sense for everyone.' "Bingo! If we can turn around Pat Shea, we've got a shot."

On March 31st, our aged sister, Lucy Dennis, departed this
life, aged eighty-three years and three months. She was one of the first
to become an inmate of our institution having been brought here when but
an infant. She has been a believer over eighty years and was always industrious
and faithful in the discharge of her duties. Doubtless she is enjoying
the fruits of her labors in that land of rest and peace, "Where the
wicked cease from troubling and the weary ar at rest." At her funeral
it was testified that she was a lover of children and young persons and
very kind and patronizing to any whom she thought to be in trouble. Also
that she kindly lent her sympathies in acts and deeds as well as thought
to persons coming in amongst us from without. The exhortation from all
this is, "Let us go and do likewise."

OSCAR-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died from an "apparent drug overdose" in his New York City apartment, an NYPD spokesman said.
The 46-year-old was found dead in his bathroom in the city's Greenwich Village area at 11.30am local time yesterday.
Hoffman, who won an Oscar for his role in the 2005 film Capote, checked into rehab in May for heroin use.
Speaking at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards in central London, John Hurt - who starred with Seymour Hoffman in 2003 film Owning Mahowny - said: "It's a devastating loss. His contribution was massive."

text: Most of the books I like are murder mysteries/ thrillers/ fictions since these are my favorite genres. Here's my list: 1.) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson 2.) The Girl who Played with Fire by Steig Larsson 3.) The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Steig Larsson - Steig Larsson, in my opinion, is one of the best author's I've ever known. He's absolutely brilliant. It's rare for me to find a mystery that really, really gets you thinking. There's so much suspense in his novels that the pages (and time) just flies by. At one point, you'll make your conclusions about something and then you'll find a bomb being dropped on you and then you'll be shocked. I really recommend his trilogy. I'm sure you'll love it to. 4.) Dansu Dansu Dansu by Haruki Murakami 5.) A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami - His books are an absolute art. If you don't appreciate artistic writing or "reading between the lines", then you probably won't enjoy his books. 6.) Kiss The Girls- James Patterson - This book changed me in some way. It was the first novel I've read that really shocked me and opened my eyes to so many things and issues about rape, sexual trysts, harems, orgies, drugs and even issues with the police. I loved this book because it made my heart palpitate and my eyes pop out. One of the best suspense novels out there. ^^b 7.) Harry Potter series- J.K. Rowling - LOL don't laugh. But when I was younger, I was completely infatuated with this series to the point of obsession. Her humor, writing style and form is great and she stands out among the fantasy writes not only because her books turned into one of the most successful movie series, but because Harry Potter satisfies the thirst of hungry readers who want to know more about the world that can't be. 'Til today, I continue to re-read her series again and again. I'm reaching my 8th time re-reading the whole thing (from book 1- 7). Maybe I should add, she was the one who got me to start writing my own stories. Reading her stuff improved my vocabulary as well. 8.) Lemon Meringue Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke - This book is a gem. The only reason I found this one is because it got transferred in my paper bag from a book sale. I like this book because it has a lot of humor (which I like), mystery (which I love) and sweet recipes in between. Something for the ladies. 9.) Does she, or Doesn't she? by Alisa Kwitney - Chick lit at its finest. LOL Actually, I just added this 'cause it's a really hilarious book loaded with British humor that we all love. A few pluses (for more mature readers) is her oversexualized fantasies featuring herself and the hot guy fixing her plumbing, funny clues about her husband's biggest secret ever (an affair? or is it something else? haha), and dealing with her crazy life in between. I've read this book a million times because it is a serious guilty pleasure. Go read it, I dare you. 10.) Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli - This book has a lot of heart. So much heart in fact that once in a while, you'd feel your own myogenic organ squeeze in response. I read this when I was in the 4th grade, and it still remains one of my favorites. The sequel of the book, Love Stargirl delivers the same loving caress of a teenage innocent and is worth every minute. I actually have a lot more book in my mind-- some from Mitch Albom, Paulo Coelho and Sophie Kinsella-- but I'll probably recommend them next time if I find the time.

Congratulations firstly :-)
After that I would start by saying that every baby & every mum is a different individual, so what works for some will not work for others, so I think the best approach to the whole journey of motherhood is to do lots of research, make plans for your preferred path, but be open to change, allow for flexibility and don't beat yourself up when things don't go as planned. I have had friends who intended to breastfeed and for varied reasons it didn't work out, but their kids are happy and healthy.
I breastfed both my girls up until just after 1 year old, at which stage both had reduced to just a morning feed. No.1 was born in 2009 and I was advised to start solids at 6 months. No. 2 was born in 2012 and I was advised 4 months; in both cases the advice was based on current thinking on allergies and food intolerances, and from what I have read it seems that the "fashion" or thinking seems to swing back and forwards every few years/decade. I followed the advice at the time and both my girls have been all well so far.
In terms of introducing solids, you can easily find all the guides about when a baby is ready/interested, but from my understanding it needs to be well prior to 12 months as breast milk does not provide iron that babies need after the first 4-6 months, so if you don't start solids around then you should consider at least adding an iron supplement.
With regard to how you introduce solids I think that the idea of waiting a week or several days between each new food is a bit extreme; if you really follow that they will be in their teens (and very fussy eaters) before they have tried everything. To be safe I would say only try new foods in the morning, so you can monitor them for the whole day after, in case of any reaction (rather than just before bed). You can keep a diary of what they have and if there is a reaction it would then be easy to back-track and eliminate the last few new foods, then bring them back one by one.
You may want to look into "Baby Led Weaning" or BLW, which is the idea of skipping all the pureed 'baby foods' and going straight to 'real' (finger) food; I heard about it when I had no.2 and liked the idea, but she wasn't into it at all (see my opening comments about making plans!) a friend of mine had not heard of it but her baby basically demanded it (refused to be spoonfed and just kept grabbing from the family table) so each to their own.
If you are planning to breastfeed also investigate expressing; it gives you a lot of flexibility & freedom, so may help you BF for longer.
Wishing you a wonderful journey with your bub!
p.s I found lots of good advice on all things baby related in the book "Baby Love" by Robin Barker.
p.p.s Just some cautions on introducing solids; no added salt: stick to no/low sodium choices and some advice says no egg or honey before 1 year old.
And one last edit: in terms of adding in cows milk: my understanding is that it is not intrinsically bad for babies, it just doesn't have everything that babies do need, so as the 'main' milk/nutrition it's not appropriate before 1, but it's fine to cook with it, use it in cereal etc but don't use it to totally replace formula or breastmilk. I think that midwives etc are worried that people will start using cows milk exclusively for newborns so they make it sound like poision. At 10ish months old my girls had 2-3 BFs a day, solid foods including dairy and the occasional cup of cows milk.

A LOT of info!!!
Wow - lots of great and varied input here!!! While it is really helpful to hear anecdotal advice, I think evidence based information is the most helpful and reliable source to base your choices on. This is what is proven across the board, not what happened or worked for one child or family.
As many women have said, your plan changes and grows. I planned to breastfeed for three months. Then 6, then 9, then 12. It just worked well for us and I saw no need to stop. WHO recommends breastfeeding for 2 years and that is what is most common around the world, so keep in mind the US, Canada, and UK are a bit different there.
As far as introducing solids, there are plenty of great reasons to delay (http://kellymom.com/nutrition/starti.../delay-solids/). As others have said, don't freak out about your baby being hungry!!! Your babies growth and milestones will show you that your baby is thriving. That is one of the number one reasons why people stop breastfeeding or introduce solids too early. Breastmilk is the most calorie dense food for your baby. That means anything else you offer will provide LESS satiation, not more. Any food a baby eats DECREASES how much the baby nurses because some of the required calories are being obtained elsewhere, so it will also lower your supply since it is based on demand.
The reason that I didn't feed my son solids until 7 months was the virgin gut. Not to get too scientific but the baby cannot digest certain enzymes properly until a certain age. This slightly varies from child to child but it isn't until approximately 7 months that the baby can properly digest carbohydrates (aka that infant cereal certain pediatricians push as early as 4 months!).
There's also evidence that iron-deficiency is not common with exclusively breastfed babies, so no iron-fortified food or supplements are necessary. I recommend getting your babies blood tested if you are worried and decide from the results. http://kellymom.com/nutrition/starti.../delay-solids/
Lastly, babies very rarely self-wean before 18 months. If your baby suddenly stops nursing, it is more likely a nursing strike, illness, or something else going on. http://kellymom.com/bf/normal/babyselfwean/
For so many years, moms had to base their decisions off what their doctor or relatives said. Now, we can find the facts and be informed to make the most educated choices for our kids. I highly recommend the Kelly Mom site! It is evidence-based and links to relevant studies for nearly all claims/ideas.
Good luck!!!

I exclusively breastfed my twins until they were about 6 months. At that point I did a lot of reading about what to introduce and when and discovered that it varies a lot based on where you are. We live in Sweden and the guidelines were not exactly what I read on American sites so I just decided to mainly relax and do what I felt seemed reasonable. We did a lot of recipes from this site: http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/index.html which I found to be a great resource. We introduced foods at a rate of about one new thing every 3-5 days, and then by about 8 months they were basically eating our foods (which we had slightly modified to eliminate things high in nitrates etc) blended with a hand blender for several meals a day.
As for stopping breastfeeding, that was tough. I felt a lot of pressure to stop earlier than I did, but I decided to do it as long as the boys wanted to and I felt comfortable doing it. I think after about 12 months (maybe earlier... by boys LOVED solid food!) we were breastfeeding only at night. My 'older' twin stopped sometime around 15 months totally by his own decision. I kept offering it for about a week or two but he would just cry and reject it so I stopped trying with him. His 'younger' brother nursed at night until he was 17 months old and, again after he started rejecting it, I offered it for another week or so to be sure he was really done. It was earlier that I wanted to be done, but I feel good that I let them choose since I had the ability to. I know breastfeeding is not an option for some people for a wide variety of reasons, and I am just grateful that I was able to do it for so long since it was something that I wanted to do. But that said, breastfeeding for a long time is very demanding for the mother. I have several good friends who gave it up earlier to get some balance back in their lives and I respect them for making the choice that was best for their families.
Good luck!Mama to my boys, the 'twinadoes', and a little Tingeling.

I had planned to wean Azula at 6 months or first tooth, whatever came first. She's 14 months now with 4 teeth. I'm still nursing her in the morning & at night (even though I'm pregnant again she doesn't seem to mind) 'cause she will NOT take a bottle or sippy cup or anything like that & I want to make sure she gets enough fluids. I started sort of introducing purees around 6 months but didn't start really pushing solids til around 9 months. She eats LOADS of solids now, she is still just a little peanut but man she has a huge appetite!
I get some flack from our friends (wives and hubs) for still breastfeeding, but I mostly just ignore it. I rarely need to feed her away from home - I only will do it if I am putting her down at night or if she is especially tired/sick/fussy. I think our friends judge me because it might be an insecurity thing for them - they had cesareans and either couldn't or just found it very difficult to breastfeed so they gave their girls formula.

THREE schools in the North East of Glasgow could be merged on a new £18million campus.
The bid is part of a move council bosses believe will help transform the area.
Glasgow City Council's executive committee voted to send proposols for a new St Stephen's Primary School, St Kevin's Primary and Sighthill Nursery school.
The three will come together on one campus in Sighthill with a community facility housing a dance studio and fitness suite.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "The plans for Sighthill are tremendously exciting and bring forward the transformation of the area by 20 years.
"Our plans could see in excess of 5000 people housed in the area surrounding the proposed new campus so the need for new, bigger, brighter, state-of-the-art schools is a must."
During Glasgow's bid to host the Youth Olympic Games in 2018 it was agreed that Sighthill would be the site of the Athletes Village.
Blueprints were drawn up to include the new campus for the primary, special needs school and nursery.
Despite the bid failing, council bosses pledged to continue with regeneration.
High rise flats in the community have been demolished to make way for flats, housing and student accommodation.
The new infrastructure will also include a public park, pedestrian bridge over the M8 and a new road bridge connection to Cowlairs.
And new housing - to include nearly 800 homes - will mean places must be made available for prospective school pupils. St Stephen's, which has a current roll of 145, was built in 1964 and has been categorised as a B standard school. St Kevin's additional support needs school, built in 1976, has 55 pupils and is category C.
Sighthill Nursery is also categorised at C level. Under new plans it could be open 52 weeks a year, if there is local demand.
Mr Matheson added: "The plans also include a community facility with a dance studio and fitness suite and weekend access to the new campuses muti-purpose games hall and all weather pitch - a fantastic additional leisure facility for the people of Sighthill.
"I would urge everyone with an interest in the consultation to give us your views on this exciting venture."
The primary schools will remain separate but share an office and reception and shared library and media suite, sports facilities and dining facilities as well as general rooms.
The community facility would be managed by Glasgow Life and include a dance studio, fitness suite, and separate changing and reception facilities. There would also be evening and weekend access to the multi-purpose games hall, school assembly hall and all-weather pitch.
If the proposal is agreed, the new campus would be completed by August 2017.
The public consultation will begin on March 3 with a public meeting at 7pm in St Stephen's Primary School on March 17.
Consultation will close on May 9.

Early Estimate Shows $214M Boost in Oklahoma Revenue
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Early projections show Oklahoma lawmakers will have about $214 million more than last year to spend on next year's state budget, despite huge reductions in oil and gas tax revenue.
Secretary of Finance Preston Doerflinger said Wednesday the State Board of Equalization is expected to certify about $7 billion in revenue that Gov. Mary Fallin will use to build her executive budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The board is expected to certify that amount during its regular meeting on Thursday, then meet again in February for a final certification.
The increase of about 3.1% over last year's spending comes despite a major reduction in the amount of revenue from the production of oil and natural gas. Much of that reduction is due to recently enacted drilling tax credits.Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Pontiac Bonneville
Ha ha about the salesmen! I always wondered that too. I mean, they have tons of literature and info kits that I would kill for, yet they still don't know a damn thing about the cars they sell. They get paid 8 hrs a day to learn that stuff. I'm sure they have plenty of down-time during the week. I don't know why you would sell something that you have zero interest in.
The 4.4L is a variant of the Premium V8 family (Northstar and Aurora). It's just a new displacement. There was a recent press release about the Performance Division, and the GXP was mentioned along with the V-Series and some other vehicles. So it looks like the GXP will be a "Performance Division" model, so it's possible the SSEi will stay on as the highest-end non-tuner version of the Bonnie. I imagine the GXP will be a fair bit more expensive than the top non-tuner version, although if it goes over $40,000 (especially if it's way over) then that will just make me miss the Aurora with it's $32,000 V8 all the more... The Grand Prix GXP will be out at least a year earlier than the Bonnie, I believe. So maybe the price premium on the GP GXP will give an idea of how much more the Bonnie GXP will cost (although the GP GXP doesn't get a new engine).
sonnyb3 Posts: 16If I was only that lucky Iceman. I could take the door panel off 1,2,3. The dash is a different animal. Its so cold out now I dont know if I want to mess with the dash. I have too isolate the area and then mess around. Thanks...
I believe is supposed to be out in about a year. I think the GP GXP will follow the Bonnie GXP. I thought that I read that the Bonneville GXP and the CTSv are to be the first two vehicles to come from the performance division.
It would make sense to me to drop the SSEi in favor of the GXP. I don't think the GXP is a 40K car and with the SSEi still around it would force the GXP to be close to that point.
You may be right. The new Grand Prix is coming out as a 2004 model, which means it could be anytime in the next 6 months or so. I thought the GXP was going to debut then too, but apparently not. It's the Comp-G package on the GTP that will be the hot setup. It has suspension and wheel/tire differences, plus stabilitrak and TAP-shift. But it isn't the GXP. I guess that will (or won't) come later. Apparently the Bonneville GXP is set to come out in early 2004. I thought the Bonnie GXP would wait for the next version Bonneville, which probably wouldn't be until 2005 or later (since it was new for 2000), but apparently it isn't. I guess there is no reason the Premium V8 and 4T80-E can't fit in the current Bonnie. After all, the current Bonnie is built on a lower-cost version of the Aurora's platform, which fits that engine/tranny just fine (the extra displacement doesn't add any external dimesion to the engine). It should be a neat car.
I see what you are saying about dropping the SSEi. However, I think it may depend on how GM views the Performance Division and the in-house tuner cars. If it is AMG-like, it would make sense to keep the SSEi as the premium non-tuned car. But there will be some overlap in product that way (which may be ok, especially if the "tuned" version has a large price premium).
Do you think GM will put a LSD or even a torque biasing differential in the GXP?
I think this would be a great idea, it would basically mitigate the negative characteristics of front wheel drive (power-on understeer, torque steer, and wheel spin).
They are available aftermarket for $500 (Intense) and $1000 (Quaife) for any car with the 4T65 transmission.
GXP versions of the Grand Am and Sunfire were on display at the Central Florida International Auto Show this past weekend. Alas, no such animal in Bonneville clothing. It appears that Pontiac has the GXP "look" (styling) pretty much finalized.
thill381 Posts: 64Did anyone catch the car Christopher was driving on the Sapranos last night. They had in car footage before you saw the exterior of the car and I could tell it was a Bonnie by the door panel & memory switches, however the panel had a two tone insert on it (i.e. GXP). Then they showed two rather short shots of the exterior of the car and it was a Gray GXP. At first I thought maybe it was just a SSEi w/ custom wheels but as it drove off you could see the molded rear spoiler.
I heard a long time ago that the GXP was going to be on the show - can't remember where I heard that. I'll have to watch a repeat of the show this week.
What do you guys recommend to apply to her leather and how often, for maintenance purposes?
I use Lexol's cleaner and conditioner and have been very pleased with it. The conditioner soaks in after an houor or two so you aren't sliding around.
After Saturday night, I can definitively state that the Bonneville's Bose system is superior to the sound system of the Beetle Turbo S. We had dinner at our friend's and one thing led to another with he and I out in their driveway at 10:00 at night in the freezing cold trying to destroy each other's eardrums with the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" album. I was just afraid that the paper would have a note about a prominent local attorney(not me) served with a summons for excessive noise in his own driveway. I was very surprised at how much better either car system was than his home system which is no slouch in its own right. At any rate, I claim victory by a clear margin.
ezrapon Posts: 348All this talk about new Gran Prix and Bonnevilles! Well, back in my day, they were the same car with different front and rear treatments. The GP was a Bonne/catalina with concealed headlights and cool tail lamps back on the fantail. I seem to remember a 421, 389, and then 400's 428's and 455's. We didn't need no stinkin' super chargers, multi-valves, or overhead cam. Buck's worth of 30 cent premium and a spot and steak & shake...life was good. Problem is... my SSEi 6 mpopper would probably whip most of them.
Yes, the sleek black sedan Chris drive's in this season finale is offically confirmed as a 2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP. USA today has the article.
Does it mean that it's the official car of the Mafiosi mobsters?
Guys, I need to verify something. Did 1994 Bonneville SEs come with power heated mirrors, or were at least available as options. I got a mirror from a junk yard where the guy says it is heated, but I don't know how to verify.
VIN of the car the mirror came from: 1G2HX52L1R4226464
Thanks in advance.
montanafan Posts: 945Only the SSE came with heated mirrors in that generation Bonneville. (90% sure, only had a '95 reference at hand). Can tell because they had blue tinted glass. The VIN you listed is for a Base SE Bonneville.
Will call the place tomorrow and will ship the thing back.
smfran Posts: 432The '94 SE came with non-heated LH power and RH manual mirrors. Power non-heated LH and RH were available in an option group. The SSE came with power LH and RH blue tinted heated mirrors as standard.
I had to replace my mirrors three times already. I guess crooks just like to steal these.
mfahey1 mentioned using Zaino products awhile back. I have used Zaino products on my Pontiacs for several years now, and I have never seen any products like them. They beat everything I have ever used and last a whole lot longer. I don't know what's in that stuff, but it sure does work. I use the clay bar, Z-2, 5, 6, and 7 on the exterior and Z-9 and 10 on the interior. And it's true what other users say, the more Z-2 coats you apply, the deeper the shine and the higher the gloss. I get tons of compliments on how great my cars look.
It has only been a couple of weeks but several rainstorms since I first applied the Zaino. It still looks great and now you almost have me tempted to go out and put a second coat on.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
I have been scouring the Internet looking for photographs of the concept GXP that was introduced at the 2002 Chicago Auto Show, and of the production GXP that will appear in 2004 that was shown at the recent SEMA show in Las Vegas. I have gathered 10 of them together into an album at
That's a Sony website that hosts digital pics, video clips, etc. You'll have to sign up to see the album, but it's free.
I have seen that part of the Sopranos episode that the GXP was in, and it is clearly the concept car. Apart from the V-8 that will be in the production version, they are hard to tell apart. The grille is the only obvious difference. The production car has a Solstice-like grille. My favorite pic is of the production GXP in the courtyard of the Guggenheim museum. Enjoy!
Happy Holidays!
Very nice pictures. I wonder if the production version will get the cross drilled rotors. Got to almost the last picture and gasp, the fog lights are spread apart like a common(sniff) SE. This will never do.
Zooming in on the photos of the production car wheels makes it fairly clear that the cross-drilled rotors won't make it. Too bad. They look pretty sharp, and would probably perform better.
I thought the same things about the fog lights. If I was designing the GXP I would have left the front fascia pretty much alone. I like the aggressive look of the current SSEi front end. But somewhere along the way somebody at Pontiac must have decided the new look was better. Oh, well. I still want one!
I actually think the new front-end is much cleaner and more sporty looking than the current front end with all that excessive cladding and the 2 bulbous foglamps in the middle of the bumper.
Too bad it's not debuting this year since I don't think I can wait another year before getting a new car.
By the way, has the interior changed much?
theiceman Posts: 736No word on interior changes although the prototypes I've seen have been the '00-'01 interior (i.e. with cupholder lid) with a few "carbon fibre" and brushed stainless steel accents. One would hope that they'd do a little more than that now that they're planning on a '04 launch.
First things first - they're cleaning up the exterior and adding a V8. Yes, we'd like them to clean up the interior a bit - oh yeah, and make it RWD. Still, we might buy it anyway.
If only...
Happy holidays you all - and all the best for '03.
Rear-drive is not likely with the Bonneville, as the platform would have to be completely re-engineered. As far as the interior refinements for the GXP, I think they will only be decorative and not much else. Don't put too much weight on those cupholders, either, as the prototype car probably made use of a lot of spare bin parts.
Right now I just want an idea of how much it's going to cost to get one! ;-)
I have added a couple photos of the 2002 and 2003 Bonneville SSEi interiors, and a couple I found of the GXP concept car interior.
The 2003 photo shows the new seating design which can also be seen on the production GXP (the Guggenheim photo). The GXP will apparently have a two-tone pattern as evidenced by the photos of the concept car interior, and the Guggenheim photo. Looks like the basic instrument panel and door panel layouts aren't going to change. I'm not sure if I like or don't like the carbon fibre inserts. I guess I'll have to wait until I see one up close and personal.
Looks like they changed the guage cluster and moved the heated seat controls to the center shift area. I wish they improved the interior quality a bit, although the exterior is very sleek and athletic looking.
I can get a really, really good deal on a 2003 SSEi now, but I think I will be kicking myself in a year if I do that now.
Just got back from a 1600mls. trip up the mountains of NM. Besides the amazing scenery in the Sacramento Mountains, boy, did I enjoy driving the Bonnie up and down those winding roads!
I got out with the oil life monitor displaying 20% left, but I had no time to replace the engine oil. With the altitude varying by almost 8000ft., at the end of the trip there was still 3% left. I'll change the oil tomorrow and won't wait to see what happens when it reaches 0%...
BTW, after over 50gals., the average mileage was about 27MPG with a mix of 70 to 80MPH highway driving, 30 to 50MPH hills and some urban stretches.
griss Posts: 1I would like to hear any pros and cons from owners of 2003 SSEi's. I plan on making a purchase within the next 60 days. Everything I have researched on the web so far has me excited about my decision to go with this vehicle. I plan on going with every available option other than the engine heater.

So this came to me when I was in an Religion test and check the spelling of Heaven I read it backwords as Nevaeh, namenerdy right so have you ever had these moments? surely I can't be the only one.
Printable View
Sometimes I'm watching TV shows with my family or my boyfriend's family and I just can't *not* comment on the name choice. Sometimes, I have to say, "Those are really good names. I love it." And sometimes, I have to say, "WHY WOULD YOU NAME A PERSON THAT?"
Today in English class a girl from another class who was pregnant brought in her baby to show my English teacher. All the girls in the class walked up to see the baby and I did too, not because I really wanted to see it but because I wanted to know its name so badly and I can't hear very well from where I sit in the back.
Anyway, its name was Isabella Grace (sp?) and I was so disappointed in how "generic" her name was I just walked back to my seat all bummed out and didn't even look at the baby. I think out of all my classmates I was the only one who didn't think her name was "gorgeous"
Whenever I see a film, I make sure that afterwards, I take a look at the full cast and crew list on IMDB.
I do it for every single film that I see, whether it at the cinema or on TV/DVD.
Sometimes the credits go so fast, or the writing is too small to see them properly, when the credits roll at the end. That's why IMDB is a Godsend.
When someone mentions a name and you know the meaning off hand & everyone has that "what, is that your middle name or something?" moment. Nope. Just obsessed.
Savannah Leigh and the other named her daughter Belle Marie, and I just had to roll my eyes. Sometimes you just want to say, "Really? That was the most creative you could be?" but of course you smile and nod and declare what a lovely name it is.
I totally surprised my sister earlier this week when she was mentioning names for her next child, and at one name I said something like "Oh I like that because then all their names would have the same meaning"...and then I had to try to explain why I randomly knew the meanings of all of those names.
Also, I'd add: You know you're a name-nerd when you cross something off your list before it becomes popular because you know it will soon skyrocket....For me, Hazel and August/Augustus are semi-crossed off of my list because The Fault in Our Stars (which features both names) is going to be made into a movie. I anticipate the movie doing well, so I think we'll start to see more Hazels, Augusts, Augustuses, and possibly even Gus.
I totally get the above posters on the name meaning thing! Or knowing the origins of a bunch of random names. Or, also, wanting to know everyone's middle names...
LOL, the only reason I read my hometown newspaper is to search the obituaries for old names and look through the birth announcements see what local people are naming their babies.
I once explained the history of surnames in western Europe to my biology class. It amazed me how many people didn't know what it meant to have an occupational or patronymic surname...
Another one from me:
I spend a lot of my time on name blogs even during class I was discussing it with my friend in homeroom and I have brought it up with another friend. Thankfully they didn't think I was crazy.
@southern.maple thats dedication. I'm occupational and many others are
Keep them coming :)

Why You Should Read Reviews While Picking an Appointment Reminder Software
Most people tend to forget about their hospital appointments. Well, unless of course, they have an illness that is really scaring them out of their wits. These appointment scheduling applications are great even for the doctors too. Appointments go way beyond the field of healthcare provision. One can set an appointment for pretty much anything. If you are one of those really busy people, then you can benefit from these appointment reminders. Finding a good one can be as easy as looking through some reviews on the variety of software you can use. Below are some ways reviews can be useful in searching for such a software.
Know the Variety of Options That You've Got
Once you open reviews you will discover the many different alternatives you have for such software. This is awesome because then you have several options to consider. Nobody likes being tied down to limited choices. Reviews will open up the door for you to be able to know about different applications you can use and just how well they can be of service to you.
The Essential Laws of Programs Explained
Realize the Software's Cost
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Options? This May Help
Some of these software are quite pricy and you will have to pay for them. The more expensive ones are those that you have to program to send messages to a number of people. However, not all of them are expensive. In fact, there are some, which are free. Others can even be downloaded right to your PC or your mobile device depending on what you intend to use it for.
You Learn the Purpose of the Software
Through reviews, you will also get to learn about the main purpose of the software and how it is intended to be used. It is important to note that doctors can also use this kind of software to allow patients to remember their appointments. Surely, if you are not a doctor and all you need is something to help you schedule your appointment for an interview then you might want to be on the lookout for something different.
Know about Efficiency and Quality
Reviews are the perfect place to find out how well something works. If you are skeptical about a software you have seen advertised or heard someone mention, then you should head over to an online review where you can get honest opinions from people who have personally used the software. The striking thing about reviews is that you will always find honest responses regarding the software even though some people are usually paid to write positive things about the software. There are several software out there designed to help you keep track of your appointments, reviews are the best way of finding a good appointment software.

For most of Tuesday afternoon, Knob Noster pitcher Ivan Pyszka kept the Spartan bats quiet at Southview Field as he outdueled Richmond starter Josh Isgriggs. Pyszka and the Panthers took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh before some timely hitting and hustle by the Spartans paid off with an exciting 3-2 MRVC East victory.
The Spartan victory keeps them a half-game behind Lexington in the battle at the top of the conference standings. Richmond is now 3-1 in the league with the Minutemen improving to 3-0 following Tuesday's 2-1 home victory over Higginsville.
Knob Noster, now 0-2 and 3-6, took a 2-1 lead into the home half of the sixth inning and it appeared the Spartans were about to break through, but Pyszka wriggled out of a jam. Richmond got singles from Corey Adkison, Colby Bowles and Kyle Carroll, but Pyszka fanned the next two Spartan batters to get out of the inning unharmed.
The Spartans were down to their final out in the bottom of the seventh when Branden Evans worked his way on base with a walk. Kyle Ash followed with his second double of the afternoon on a hit-and-run play, which pushed Evans around the bases to home with the tying run.
Pinch runner Gabe Vandiver then replaced Ash on second as Corey Adkison came to the plate. The Spartan catcher, who singled in his last at bat, then hit a dribbler toward shortstop. Vandiver put his head down and quickly rounded third with Adkison hustling down the line to first.
The throw to the bag was not in time to get Adkison and the Panther first baseman then turned and fired a throw to home, but it wasn't in time to get Vandiver who crossed the plate with the winning run.
Ash's first double of the afternoon had given the Spartans a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third. His shot down the first base line chased Evans home after he had reached on a two-out single.
Pyszka helped his own cause for Knob Noster in the fourth inning. The Panther junior reached on a one-out double, and scored one batter later on another double by Brennon Walker.
The visitors took the lead in the next inning with Jimmy Pirrillo leading off with a walk, followed by a single from Matt Malkey. The Spartans appeared to get out of the inning without any damage, but it was ruled that Pirrillo beat the throw to Richmond third baseman Ash on an infield hit. Pirrillo later scored the lead run. The Panthers would protect that lead until the final Spartan plate appearance of the afternoon.
Isgriggs got the win for the Spartans with a complete-game effort. The Richmond junior surrendered 5 hits while walking 3 and striking out 8. Pyszka scattered 7 hits, with 4 of those coming in the final two innings. He also hit a batter, walked 3 and struck out 8.
The Spartans will host Lexington Thursday afternoon. The Minutemen won the first meeting 1-0 earlier this season.

just started programming and encountered a beginner level loop problem today. this is what the input and output must look like
4 3.0 2.5 6.0 4.5 [enter]
5 6.0 2.5 3.4 3.0 5.6 [enter]
2 4.0 4.6[enter]
4 4.1 4.3
the first number in each row of inputs represent the number of values that should be read. for example on the first row, the first number is 4. hence the user enters 4 and then enters 4 values (3.0, 2.5, 6.0 and 4.5) after that. The same goes for 5 and 2. when the user enters 0 the program terminates and prints the output. The output represents the average of the values entered. for example, for the first row of 4 inputs, the average is 4.
I could have used a simple "while" or "for" loop with a scanf statement inside if the user enters something like this.
4 [enter]
since its all supposed to be in the same line, is there anything about scanf that enables the user to key everything in the same line just as the problem requires?

XMonad just hides the windows from the other workspaces, and only calculates their size when they are actually shown. This could be solved by always setting the sizes for all windows, even those currently hidden. I'm not sure if they would want that additional work/code for something that affects a contrib module in a cosmetic way.

text: Chemical from leak detected in area schools By Mackenzie Mays January 31, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Detectable amounts of the coal-cleaning chemical Crude MCHM from the leak into the Elk River and the West Virginia American Water pipelines earlier this month have been found in three Kanawha County schools, as well as one each in Lincoln and Putnam counties.George Washington High School, John Adams Middle School and Andrews Heights Elementary School's water systems will be flushed again this weekend, according to Kanawha County Schools officials. Detectable levels of the chemical also were found in Buffalo High School and Lincoln County High School.The detected levels are all well below the 1-part-per-million level of MCHM the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said is safe for everyone but pregnant women, but above the state's "non-detect" level of 10 parts per billion. One part per million equals 1,000 parts per billion.Schools in Kanawha County are still supplying students with bottled water and are using bottled water in all food preparation. Water fountains are covered with bags and there is hand sanitizer in all the bathrooms.The West Virginia National Guard conducted water tests this week at all 69 schools in Kanawha County, as well as affected schools in Putnam, Boone, Lincoln, Cabell and Clay counties. All the tests were conducted between Tuesday and Friday.George Washington tested at 10 parts per billion, John Adams at 12 parts per billion, Andrews Heights at 19 parts per billion, Buffalo High at 52 parts per billion and Lincoln High at 24 parts per billion, according to results provided by the state.As of 6 p.m. Friday, no result was given for 13 of the 107 schools listed. The rest of the schools showed a "non-detect" level below 10 parts per billion.Test results were provided from only one lab for each sample. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's administration has been giving results from two labs for most of the tests it has made public. The test results were posted on the state Division of Homeland Security's website Friday afternoon, after Kanawha County Schools officials told news outlets they had detected elevated levels.Asked if he expected schools to be open Monday, Kanawha Superintendent Ron Duerring said, "There's no reason why we couldn't. . . . We have to go through the [water-pipe flushing] protocols again and the Kanawha County health department will come and check us out again."George Aulenbacher, principal at George Washington High, said he "was just told that it was a higher level and that they're just going to reflush and retest."We're going to keep [using bottled water] until we get the all-clear from the Central Office," he said, "but I don't see that being any time in the near future." GW and John Adams are in the South Hills area of Charleston; Andrews Heights is in the Tornado area.Putnam Schools Superintendent Chuck Hatfield said extracurricular activities at Buffalo High will be canceled this weekend. He said the school's pipes will be flushed -- for the third time -- this weekend.Steve Priestley, president of the Lincoln County school board, said water lines at Lincoln County High will be flushed again over the weekend, and then retested. He said school officials also conducted independent tests and those results are expected back next week. "We're not going to use the water until we know it's absolutely safe," Priestley said.After the leak, West Virginia American and Kanawha-Charleston Health Department officials said school taps were not being tested for MCHM but were being flushed and cleaned of possible contaminated water. However, that changed earlier this week. According to a news release from Kanawha County Schools, testing was done in schools and hospitals "to give an additional level of assurance."Liza Cordeiro, spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, said Tomblin had directed the National Guard to conduct the tests to "confirm the water meets this more rigorous standard to provide an additional level of assurance."It was in an attempt to bring even further assurances to the public and to parents and to educators," Cordeiro said.The schools news release also stressed that the testing was done as a precaution."Kanawha County Schools followed the proper protocol and guidelines for flushing each individual school to achieve the CDC-recommended level of 1 part per million," the release stated. "This additional testing and work is to ensure a level 100 times below the CDC-recommended level and a level [the] CDC has deemed safe for all populations."

I am finding as I age that I have developed distinct patterns to my sleeping habits.
I seem to have about 2 weeks of incredibly deep, comfortable sleep followed by about 2 weeks of shallow, fitful sleep.
As crazy as it may sound, it seems to follow the phases of the moon, with my better sleep occuring before, during and after full moons.
Can anyone out there relate?

Primary care doctors are under growing pressure to increase productivity. The result is fewer and shorter visits with patients, with acute illness given high priority. Preventive care, such as the periodic health examination (PHE), may be given less attention than it deserves. This is unfortunate, given that a new study shows that people who are given regular PHEs have significantly lower rates of emergency department use and preventable hospitalizations than those who don't receive PHEs.
The PHE consists of a detailed medical history, targeted physical examination, and age- and sex-appropriate counseling and screening tests. It is not a complete physical appraisal, so it should be possible to integrate the PHE into "sick" visits, note Anna E. Plauth, M.D., M.P.H., of Palo Alto Veterans Hospital, and Steven D. Pearson, M.D., M.Sc., of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
In a study supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (National Research Service Award fellowship F32 HS00119), they reviewed computerized data from a large staff-model health maintenance organization (HMO) to compare the use of preventive services, use of medical services, and preventable use of services among members who received regular PHEs with an age-matched sample of those who did not. Despite the HMO's stress on the importance of PHEs, including a sophisticated clinical reminder system to provide PHEs, many eligible HMO members did not receive them according to the schedule suggested by the HMO.
In fact, during the 2-year period from 1994 to 1996, nearly one-third of patients in the sample who were older than 40 and one-fourth of those older than 50 did not receive PHEs. Patients without PHEs were markedly less likely to receive standard screening tests (mammography 52 vs. 91 percent; Pap tests 54 vs. 95 percent; blood pressure checks 90 vs. 99 percent; and fecal occult blood testing, 22 vs. 83 percent) or preventive services commonly recommended for their age group. No-exam patients older than 40 years had twice the rate of preventable ED visits (14 vs. 6 per 1,000 members per year), three times more preventable hospital admissions (12 vs. 4), and more than six times the number of preventable hospital days (95 vs. 14) than age-matched patients in the exam group.
Details are in "Missed opportunities: Prevention and resource utilization among HMO members who do not receive periodic health examinations," by Drs. Plauth and Pearson in the March 2000 Preventive Medicine in Managed Care 1(1), pp. 35-42.

Tools & Technique: Paper Crimping
I use the Uchida Paper Crimper (link below) and I really like it. It will crimp up to 8.5inches wide (most crimpers are smaller) so I can send an entire letter size sheet through. Honestly though, I haven't needed that much width yet. And a paper crimper is not usually a tool you use everyday (but it's so cool to have!). So...I leave it to you to decide which brand/size you want to purchase. Both the crimpers I listed are known to be good products.
The Tools: Fiskars Paper Crimper / Uchida Paper Crimper
The Technique: Cupcake Card / Gift Bag Paper / Bird House
Here are some links to get you started with a paper crimper.
