I'm a first time mother. And just wonder if I can give you my experience so far and answer some questions I have.
Ok so I'm 28 1st time mother, full time breast feeding my little DD who is nearly 7 weeks. I'm demand feeding and just going with the flow, not following any books or routines but everything is going fine I guess. She has plenty of dirty and wet nappies and has gained weight consistently; around 1/2llb a week. she is a good feeder and has been from day one, no problem with latch, I do have an over supply so try and pump during the night after a feed to combat leaking and I have gather a good back up in the freezer.
I still am not 100% if I'm doing the right thing. Like how many naps should she have during the day, because I'm demand feeding I'm not following a time so I get confused when I read people talking about timings and baby has a bedtime of this time and so on. Should I have some sort of pattern?
Typically a day goes like this,
she seems to have a nap in the morning after her last feed around 6-7 and may sleep til 10-11 but if I co sleep with her I find she doesn't wake as often for feeds, is this normal, should I have this lie on with her or should I start getting up at her earlier feed.
after feed we go for walk, she naps in buggy,has a sleep for 2-3 hrs between 3-6 and then has a fussy time between 8-11,usually goes to sleep then and has 2-3 feeds at night,

Heck yes, vegan sushi at the airport!
Outside of overpriced chips and desperate, packaged Alternative Baking Co cookies, the only thing I'm consuming at an airport may be a glass of wine or cup of herbal tea before my flight.
On our way back to Portland last week, Millie and I perused the normal food stands at JFK's Terminal 5, the land of JetBlue, and slowly noticed a trend – CIBO Express Gourmet Market had actual vegan food items. Warning, give their website a minute to wander into. At our first CIBO, we saw sushi and hummus, and that expanded into a lone packaged Thai noodle salad – with a couple dumplings!, which grew into discoveries of bean and grain salads, and into a small row of packaged vegan noodle salads and a few veg-salad sandwiches at the CIBO by our gate (the 3rd or 4th we visited).
They're packaged cold options, but still! There's also a Jamba Juice, a salad bar, and Lucy's Asian Kitchen seemed like it might have had a veg-friendly dish or two.
There's no bagel shop with rows of flavor tofu cream cheese, but CIBO sure beats crap or nothing. Check out CIBO in 8 domestic airports, include Tucson!
I was damn stoked to sit down with a reasonably fresh cucumber avocado roll for dinner on an airplane – and watch Sheer Genius for the first time ever. The roll came with little packets of soy sauce and wasabi, and the sushi itself was rolled in sesame seeds~
A delighted Millie exploring the vegan-y fridge

This class had a lot of coooool information. This is a great introductory class. So glad I decided to take it! I learned Cleansing, Meridians, how to Find Chakras. I love that there is a place like this where I can learn about things I may not typically look for locally.
I liked that you could feel Connie's deepest sincerity in giving the rites. I felt a real part of the ceremony and not just like an observer. There was real power in the class. I learned that there is more to learn and to be open to new experiences.
I liked the flow of the class. The presentation was great. I learned that I want to take the "whole" course… I liked the sneak peeks of the advanced techniques. As an Intro class… it was well done. I can't think of a way to improve on what was related.
"Stephanie's class was brilliant! It broadened my understanding of the many aspects of meditation and tools that can be used to aid in meditation. The most important thing I learned was that you can fill a library full of books on the information out there about meditation, self-healing through intention, mantras, etc, and you still probably would not have all the information. Part of this is because meditation is such a powerful yet personal action. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that feels they are not meditating properly but want to learn how to be better at it, or just want to learn more about it. The techniques are very simple and user-friendly."
I appreciated Connie's down-to-earth style and sharing more of her personal stories. I now understand how to set myself apart from other intuitive readers in my area and how to 'set the mood' so that clients feel taken care of and are receiving a more authentic reading in person.
I loved the teacher, John Soriano. Loved the technique and it really worked. I did this through independent study- it would have been great to have been in the class but the replay was very good – basics covered very well and all questions answered without it being live. I was totally new to meridians and tapping and found learning about these energy points and the tapping technique to be of great interest. The basic technique seems to come natural as practical reiki did for me. I am interested in learning more.
It was great to receive that one on one attention. As always Alice's classes are not only informative, but fun as well! I learned that we go through life with not only one guardian, but as we grow older another one will come into your life at the right time to guide you along your path. Alice makes learing fun and she treats you as a friend more than teacher/student.
This is the first class that I've actually taken with Alice and I loved her energy in the class! I have her book on Practical Reiki and had already started doing distance healing with only intention. This class was awesome! I actually saw the invisible person method and that helped me more in my visualization of the method. I had been doing as though the person were laying down in front of me, but the way shown was much easier to scan!

PEPPERELL -- Voters moved decisively against a proposed natural-gas pipeline Monday night, unanimously voting for a non-binding resolution opposing the pipeline, with no discussion.
The resolution, brought forward by a citizen's petition, states the town's stance in opposition to a natural-gas pipeline, proposed by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, which would cut across the northern part of the state. Under the route being considered, the pipeline would pass through private property, as well as town-owned conservation lands.
It also states the town's opposition to any similar projects that may be proposed, and instructs legislators to enact legislation to disallow such projects through the state.
Selectman Stephen Themelis said the quick vote, which drew 432 residents, sent a decisive message on the town's opposition.
"This shows a united front from the town in opposition to the proposed Kinder Morgan project. There was not one dissenting vote, and I think that speaks loud and clear for how the town feels on the proposed pipeline," Themelis said.
Selectmen have also formed a coalition of Middlesex County towns along the pipeline route that are opposed to the project. That coalition is expected to have its first meeting Tuesday in Groton.
"We're trying to figure out, being a coalition for the people, what message we want to get to our state leaders and our legislators and eventually, to the federal level," said Themelis, who is serving as the Pepperell Board of Selectmen's representative on the coalition.
Selectmen Chairman Michael Green said selectmen have been working hard to represent residents.
"We've spearheaded the coalition, we've asked the tough questions. Unfortunately we haven't gotten great answers," Green said.
"The town has spoken against the project and as a selectman, I'll do everything I can to uphold that and work as directed," he added.
Paula Terrasi, the town's conservation administrator and a member of Nashoba Conservation Trust, said the vote was an indication of the rapidly growing movement opposing the pipeline in the region.
"It hasn't died down. There's more and more people every time we have a meeting, and people care," Terrasi said.
Outside the meeting, a small group of residents carried signs urging voters to adopt the resolution.
Resident Nicholas Scarsdale said he's opposed to many parts of Kinder Morgan's proposal, including the possibility that land could be taken by eminent domain, and the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing and natural gas, which he says is a short-term solution to meeting the country's energy needs.
"I think that you might say it has some merits as a slightly cleaner alternative to coal, but I think in the search for long-term solutions, it's foolish," Scarsdale said.
Ruth Stevens is among residents whose property would be cut by the pipeline if the route being considered goes forward. Her home is in an aquifer-protection zone, and she said her top priority is ensuring that future generations have clean water to drink.
"We have to protect the environment. We have to do something and tell the government that we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore," Stevens said.

Hinterland: Wilderness Meets Modern
- Location: Online
- Specialty: Modern design inspired by nature
- Price range: $$
- Website: hinterlanddesign.com
Store History
- Founded by: Riley Mcferrin
- Headquarters: Vancouver, B.C.
Designer Riley Mcferrin has found a way to marry modern design with natural elements. With a background in fine art, Mcferrin's early paintings were inspired by architecture, design and nature. Along the way he started making more three dimensional designs which would eventually lead to Hinterland, his British Columbia-based design studio.
For Riley Mcferrin, the road to Hinterland began with a move from suburban LA to Oregon to be closer to the forest. As he continued to find inspiration in nature, Mcferrin's fine art evolved as well. His art slowly became more three dimensional and, in a fitting move, he transitioned into management of high-end custom home construction. Today, in addition to his furnishings, Riley brings his natural modernism to interiors projects, including small updates and complete construction.
Shown above:
• Scatter/Gather Pendant Light – Made from found ocean-washed branches, this lamp is hand-constructed using pegged and glued through-tenons.
• Treetop Dining Table – A hardwood surface sits atop salvaged and dried hardwood logs from coastal British Columbia.
• Little Gem Side Table – Made from cast-off cedar logs, this hand-shaped table can be finished off with an optional top in granite, steel or mirror.
• Nurselog Side Table and Planter – Inspired by ran forest stumps that grow moss and other vegetation. this table, made from Western red cedar, includes a round insert for plants.
• Designer's Studio – Riley designed and constructed this small studio for a children's book designer, using the footprint of an existing shed.

As I read your posts, I was sort of thinking the same thing Christine said, that he is getting tired and the time is near. Please let me share a part of Brownie's story with you: Brownie never got to the point where it was absolutely clear that he needed to be euthanized asap. He started feeling bad, then got better, then quit eating, then ate a little bit, then felt worse, then felt better and started eating, etc (you get the picture). He went up and down, but it turned out to be a slow progression downward. I did let things go for awhile, because I would get encouraged by his feeling better. We had just started a new medication, and I figured it was making him sick, but that he would come through it if given a little time. I let it go for a few days then took him to the vet on 3/31. They did x-rays and found a tumor in his spleen, and told me that it could possibly burst and if it did, it would be incredibly painful for him. I was scared to death that would happen when I was at work and he would lie in pain for hours, so I took him home, spent the evening and next morning saying good-bye, and then helped him cross to the bridge that next afternoon (4/1). I loved him so much, I just couldn't let something bad like that happen to him. The morning of 4/1, it was a beautiful day and he felt good. We walked out in the yard, and he even ate a little bit, and I am so grateful that our last day together was like that. Had that tumor burst, our last time together would have been spent rushing him to the emergency vet while he was suffering.
I'm not really offering any advice or trying to make you see any big picture. I just remember that when I was trying to make that decision, I really wanted and needed to hear other people's stories to see how and when they made their decision and what they based it on. So I thought I would share our story in case you are wondering the same.
amazincc wrote:It's not easy for me to post this, and it won't be a "popular post", by any means - it might even lose me a few friends, but... I'm going to say it anyway:
Christine, I know this wasn't easy for you to post, but I think you are a good friend to speak up. Dee said she was looking for honesty and I believe she knows you are speaking from your heart.

Alright, let's be honest here…a lot of fellas out there think driving a hot ride will get you a hot girl, right? But, when it comes to attracting the attention of import hottie Brandy Grace, you're idea of a nice car had better not be some backyard-bondo AE86 (as classic as you think it is). Brandy confessed she doesn't really judge a man by what he drives but be warned, this cutie sure knows her cars and thanks to a strong affiliation modeling for Do-Luck and CA-based Ground Dynamics, Brandy Grace has attended almost as many drift events as we have! Before my interview with the babe-a-luscious Brandy, I prepared by brushing up on some O.G. drift knowledge… finally all those hours of JDM-Option videos will come in handy. I recently caught up to her trackside and found my mack-daddy skills quickly put to the test.
Birth date: January 21, 1985
Sign of the Zodiac: Aquarius
Measurements: 34 / 24 / 34 Nationality: Korean American
Hometown: Merrillville, IN
Turn-ons: A good sense of humor
Turn-offs: Anyone who's conceited
Pet Peeves: when people leave their turn signals on
Website(s): www.brandygrace.com, www.myspace.com/brandygrace
Hair & Makeup by Valerie JC & Gaby Ramos
PAS: Brandy, you've travelled to events across the country, if you could choose a free flight anywhere for a photo shoot, where would it be?
Brandy Grace: I would love to go to Australia, I've heard great things about it. Plus, kangaroos are just sooo cute!
PAS: Take a gander at this mate, I just so happen to speak fluent Australian. Do you speak any foreign languages?
Brandy Grace: Unfortunantley, no. But I do know a little bit of Spanish and I'm currently trying to learn Korean.
PAS: So I guess we could call you bilingual. Do you have a favourite type of food?
Brandy Grace: As bad as it sounds, I love fried foods! It's so good, yet so bad.
PAS: As a model you must get hit on a lot, what's the best pick-up line a guy has ever used on you?
Brandy Grace: Pick up lines just don't work. A cheesy line might get a laugh out of me, but that's about it. I can't say I've ever heard any good ones that work.
PAS: Okay, so if pick-up lines don't work on models, what would someone have to do to get a date with you?
Brandy Grace: Honestly, just be yourself …but there definitely has to be some chemistry or strong attraction there too.
PAS: Some say image is everything; do you judge a guy by the kind of car he drives?
Brandy Grace: No I do not judge guys by the cars they drive. I'm not materialistic. He just better treat me right! Besides, what good does his car do for me? (laughs)
PAS: Would you describe yourself as "Naturally Aspirated" or "Heavily Modified?"
Brandy Grace: I don't think we're talking cars anymore are we? I'm naturally aspirated all the way! But, even if a girl is heavily modified do you think she'd tell you? I doubt it!
PAS: So how do you keep in such great shape?
Brandy Grace: I do some cardio and eat Subway! (laughs) I try to work out often, but I'm pretty lucky that I have good genetics I'm sure soon enough I'll have to work out heavily, especially with my diet! But don't jinx me!
PAS: I've heard you can tell a lot from a kiss. Can you tell us about your very first kiss?
Brandy Grace: Oh geez...well it was in 8th grade, my first french kiss that is. My boyfriend at the time gave me a kiss goodbye and suddenly stuck his tongue in my mouth. I was startled, but went along with it. It was pretty awkward to me, and I knew it wasn't his first time!
PAS: Wow, that's a big move busting out some tongue action in 8th grade huh? So how did you get your start in modeling?
Brandy Grace: I got into modeling by posting some candid pictures of myself on a few model websites. Before I knew it, I had tons of photographers emailing me to set up photo shoots and the rest is history.
PAS: Well we're certainly glad you were discovered! What's the best thing about being a model?
Brandy Grace: I love that I get to meet new people all the time and do something different everyday. It's an amazing job and never gets boring.
PAS: You've been in countless photo shoots, but have you ever done any acting? Anything we can see you in?
Brandy Grace: Yes, I've done a few commercials including Comcast Digital Cable, Bodog and a promo for "Two and a Half Men". I've also been in some TV shows and starred in an independent movie. There's definitely more to come.
PAS: How would you describe yourself?
Brandy Grace: I'm friendly and really easy to get along with. If you get on my bad side, you must have done something pretty terrible. But, sometimes I'm too nice! It can be hard to say no to things and I really hate that. I'm getting better at it though, it just takes time.
PAS: If you had to choose, what three things would you take with you to a deserted island?
Brandy Grace: I would take chap-stick, a good book and my iPod because I love music and I can't live without it!
PAS: Any shout-outs or last words?
Brandy Grace: I just want to thank everyone in my life who have supported me in all that I do or have done. There's nothing better than having loving people surround you. Love you Mom and Dad!!

What the didn't world see coming, what isn't a surprise
Follow the 2010 World Cup with the UCSB men's and women's soccer programs all tournament long on UCSBgauchos.com. "South Africa to Santa Barbara: The Cup is Coming" will provide daily commentary on the day's biggest storylines, featuring video interviews with Gaucho soccer players and head coaches Tim Vom Steeg and Paul Stumpf.

In the world of sports, hours upon hours are devoted to predicting winners, analyzing who is the best and debating the finer points of why the teams we are cheering for will be the last standing.
Part of what makes following sports so thrilling though, is the knowledge that when the players take to the pitch, court or pool, the score is 0-0 and it becomes anyone's game to win. Sometimes the outcome is exactly as predicted, but when teams don't perform as predicted, we often witness some of the greatest and worst moments in sports history.
At the 2010 World Cup, some teams are living up to expectations and others are exceeding what the world thought they were capable of. On the flip side, some teams have been shocking due to incredibly underwhelming performances.
Speaking of underwhelming, two of the biggest shocks of the World Cup to this point were the failures of both France and Italy to advance out of group play. The two teams that battled in the 2006 World Cup title game earned just three points combined and neither posted a win. Let's not even get into the French's off-the-field antics.
"They didn't meet expectations, whatsoever," senior Michael Boxall rather succinctly summed it up.
While it's not surprising that a South American country would advance to the quarterfinals, after all, who can claim to be shocked that Brazil or Argentina have had strong performances? The number of South American countries that have advanced, however, is surprising. The fact that four (Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina) of the eight teams remaining are not just from the same continent, but also border each other, is not just shocking, it's downright impressive.
It is a real possibility that there could be an all-South American semifinals, which would mark the first time a World Cup semifinal didn't include a European team. Now that would be shocking!
The sides that have lived up to the hype include Brazil, Netherlands and Germany. They may not be posting surprising results, but they certainly are posting exciting ones. All three teams won their groups and sailed through the second round with convincing wins.
With eight matches remaining in the 2010 World Cup, there is plenty of time for more surprises. Could Ghana become the first African team to reach the semifinals, or even the title game? Will there be a South American only semifinal? Will we have a first-time winner in the Netherlands, Paraguay or Spain? That's the beauty of sports, we will have to watch and see.
Season tickets start at just $75 and include one ticket to all home men's and women's regular season games and one College Cup All Session Pass. UCSB staff and faculty can purchase their season tickets for a reduced rate of $50.

No, Telling Customers Why Your Product Is Better Than A Competitor's Is Not Trademark Infringement
from the and-judges-should-know-that dept
The litigants are rival vendors of similar products to combat baby acid reflux. For a slightly similar dispute involving trademark fights over baby products, see BabyAge v. Leachco.
The plaintiff is largely complaining about text on the defendant's website explaining why the plaintiff's product isn't as good as the defendant's. From my perspective, the explanation doesn't constitute a trademark "use" at all because the trademark is being used as a referent. See, e.g., Naked Cowboy v. CBS, 2012 WL 592539 (S.D.N.Y. Feb 23, 2012). Thus, the court should dismiss the trademark claim for non-trademark use. But if the court doesn't do that, at least it should dismiss as a nominative use. See, e.g., 1 800 GET THIN v. Hiltzik. There is absolutely no question that the defendant's reference qualifies as a nominative use under Ninth Circuit law. Yet, and here's where a piece of me dies, the opinion doesn't discuss nominative use AT ALL. What???
Instead of addressing the two most obvious grounds, the court engages in doctrinal contortions to fit this case into a standard likelihood of consumer confusion (LOCC) analysis. As I've explained elsewhere, the multi-factor LOCC test simply makes no sense when a third party is using the trademark editorially as a referent. My paradigmatic example is the Ballysucks case, where the LOCC analysis is ridiculous because the court is trying to compare a vendor with a griper who registered a "sucks" domain. The LOCC test doesn't work any better here. The judge almost seems to know that the LOCC test isn't the right test, but he doesn't seem to know what else to do.
Fortunately, the judge overcomes his shaky analysis by reaching the right result, concluding that there's insufficient evidence of consumer confusion. Yay for good outcomes. But we need to find better ways to make it clear trademark law should not play a role in situations like this. For more on that, see my Online Word of Mouth paper.
One more point: the court's technological discussions are a mixed bag. On the plus side, citing Network Automation and Matt Cutts' blog post/video, the judge rejects the plaintiff's claims over keyword metatags because Google ignores them. But then the judge launches these groaners:
"there is no evidence in the record that use of the term AR Pillow in Google or other search engine currently leads to defendant's website"
and later
"Consumers who search for AR Pillow today are not presented with defendant's website in the rankings"
Oh god, not this again. Please, let's kill this meme RIGHT NOW. Relative placement of search engine results is a HORRIBLE way to evaluate trademark disputes. First, as I explain here, the junior user doesn't control placements--the search engines do. Second, in my post on the Bitchen Kitchen litigation, I explain technological reasons why this is a terrible idea, including search results personalization, the fact that results change minute-by-minute, and the fact that different search engines rank their results differently. Judges, I beg you, please don't go down this wormhole.

Former LSU Tigers basketball player and longtime athletic director Joe Dean has died at the age of 83, school officials say.
Dean, who died on Sunday in Baton Rouge, is one of three LSU players who've been inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. The others are Bob Pettit and Pete Maravich.
He was the athletic director at LSU for 14 years, beginning in 1987. During that period he oversaw $50 million in facility improvements, and LSU teams won 27 national championships, along with 40 Southeastern Conference titles.
Dean also worked as a marketing executive with Converse and as an analyst on college basketball broadcasts, during which he became known for using the phrase "string music" to describe the sound of a basketball swishing through the net.

Dean was born in Brazil, Ind., and grew up in New Albany, Ind., where was a starter on his high school team at New Albany High School. He played at LSU from 1949 through 1952, earning All-SEC honors two times. He was also a three-time member of the SEC All-Tournament Team.
He was voted onto the LSU All-Century Team, along with Maravich, Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Jackson.
Dean was the first LSU player to be selected in the NBA Draft, taken 10th overall. He instead chose to play for the Bartlesville Phillips 66ers of the National Industrial Basketball League.
Dean was well known as a TV analyst for SEC basketball, with work on NBC, Lorimar, ESPN, Turner Sports and Jefferson Pilot/Raycom. He coined the phrase "String Music" to describe a jump shot that swished the net.

2013 British & Irish Lions
Lions Watch: Team of the Week
ESPN Staff
December 31, 2012
Joel Tomkins was in impressive form as Saracens beat Northampton © Getty Images
The Aviva Premiership and RaboDirect PRo12 continued this week as countdown to the eagerly-awaited British & Irish Lions tour to Australia continued.
As we all tick off the days until the team depart Down Under, ESPNscrum will cast an eye across the action and pinpoint those players eligible for the elite tourists who are pushing their selection claims with strong performances. But luckily there is still a lot of rugby to be played until the squad board the plane for Hong Kong and plenty of time for hopes to rise and fall.
15. Ian Madigan (Leinster)
The young Ireland A international was in fine form at fly-half form Leinster this weekend as he helped them beat Connacht but is he also a classy full-back, which is where he sneaks into our team.
14. Tom Varndell (London Wasps)
The Wasps speedster has set his sights on an England recall and offered a reminder of his talents with the bonus point try - his 10th of the season - in his side's Premiership victory over London Welsh.
13. Joel Tomkins (Saracens)
The rugby league convert was a constant threat for Saracens against Northampton with his direct, strong running and sound decision-making in the outside channels.
12. Anthony Allen (Leicester Tigers)
The ever-consistent and ever-effective Allen, who continues to court further international honours with success, scored the crucial try as Leicester saw off Gloucester in the mud of Welford Road.
11. Simon Zebo (Munster)
The Ireland winger scored his 17 try for Munster as he once again proved to be a razor sharp runner and accomplished finisher.
10. Danny Cipriani (Sale Sharks)
After copping a very public dressing down last week, the former England fly-half delivered a composed and telling performance, based on faultless goal-kicking and an improved defensive display.
9. Danny Care (Harlequins)
Care has made huge improvements over the past 12 months, especially in his consistency and game management, but his greatest asset remains his pace and sniping around the fringes which London Irish know only too well.
Richie Gray was his usual abrasive self against Worcester © Getty Images
1. Ryan Bevington (Ospreys)
The Welsh loose-head prop played a key role for the Ospreys as he helped them gain dominance upfront that eventually led to a comfortable victory over the Scarlets.
2. Richard Hibbard (Ospreys)
After recently being described as "the finest hooker in Europe", Hibbard further enhanced his reputation as part of a superior Ospreys pack against the Scarlets.
3. Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers)
Another week and another dominant display from the England tight-head as Leicester's front-row scrummaged Gloucester into submission.
4. Richie Gray (Sale Sharks)
Gray scored a try and made a number of telling bursts as Sale secured a rare win over Worcester. The pressure will be on the giant lock in the coming months, with both Scotland and Sale relying on him massively.
5. Geoff Parling (Leicester)
The England lock revelled in the mud at Welford Road and produced another solid performance in the engine room. Strong claim for one of England's most consistent performers in 2012.
6. Tommy O'Donnell (Munster)
The Irish flanker put in a powerful man-of-the-match performance for Munster as the Irish province inflicted a first RaboDirect Pro12 defeat on Ulster this season.
7. Chris Robshaw (Harlequins)
A quite remarkable year for the England captain ended with another strong showing at Twickenham as his work-rate and leadership skills helped Quins to a narrow win over London Irish.
8. Ernst Joubert (Saracens)
The South African-born Joubert qualified for England on residency grounds earlier this season and has high hopes of forcing his way into the international set-up but could a Lions call-up come first? The 32-year-old deservedly claimed the Man of the Match honour in his side's narrow victory over Northampton.

Police executed search warrants at seven Havelock businesses Thursday and confiscated more than a truckload of Internet gaming machines.
Police executed search warrants at seven Havelock businesses Thursday and confiscated more than a truckload of Internet gaming machines.
The raids were from one end of the city to the other as members of the Havelock Police Department and the Craven County Sheriff�s Office Special Response Team seized full-size Internet sweepstakes gambling machines, cut phone lines and gathered boxes filled with more than 300 pieces of evidence.
According to a release from Havelock Police Chief G. Wayne Cyrus, the search warrants were served at known sweepstakes and gaming establishments following an 11-month investigation.
Businesses included Internet Connections at 1329 East Main St., B&B Internet Access at 925 East Main St., Suite 38, U.S. Mini Mart at 221 East Main St., Food Fare at 227 West Main St., Mr. P�s Sweepstakes at 900 U.S. 70 West, Jean�s Place at 220 East Main St., and Super Expressway at 807 East Main St.
Cyrus said investigators worked closely with the Craven County District Attorney�s Office during the investigation.
�As a result of this enforcement action, police seized over 300 pieces of evidence related to alleged illegal sweepstakes/gaming operations, U.S. currency, and other items used in connection with and operation of sweepstakes/gaming machines,� the release said.
Cyrus said that evidence was also removed from Ben�s Beach Bingo at 1333 East Main St. after investigators observed suspected sweepstakes/gaming machines in plain view.
A search warrant was executed at Friend�s Bar at 571 U.S. 70 Highway West late last month that resulted in the confiscation of two gaming machines, currency and other evidence.
Cyrus said that there were no arrests made as a result of Thursday�s actions.
�Individual charges are pending. Those decisions will be made after further consultation and evidence review with the District Attorney�s Office is completed,� Cyrus said in the release.

To understand what the BeOS and Haiku operating systems are, we first must remember that BeOS was developed with the multimedia user in mind. BeOS wanted to be what OS X has become today: an easy to use, attractive operating system. However, BeOS was a niche OS, destined for the media-hungry user. The percentage of audio and video applications available for Haiku is greater than the one in Linux, OS X or Windows, and the inner workings of the operating system were created in such a way, that the same multimedia passionate would find it easy to work with the user interface and files. Each application can interfere with other applications of its kind. A WAVE file selection can be dragged from a sound editor and onto the desktop, to create an audio file. Audio applications can interfere with each other via the Haiku Media Kit -- the corespondent of a Linux sound server. Applications like Cortex are a perfect example of how BeOS and Haiku deal with multimedia files: you can have more than one soundcard and use each one of those soundcards independently or separately. You can link one soundcard to the Audio Mixer, start a drum machine application and link that software to the Audio Mixer. If you want to output whatever you create with the audio application, all you have to do is drag the microphone and link it to the application's icon in Cortex.

Heligoland are :
Originating from Melbourne, Heligoland play quiet and beautiful music, somewhere between Low, Sigur Ros and the Cocteau Twins, with just an hint of shoegaze in the middle. But it's the lush and warm vocals of Karine Vogt ( they could have been used on many classical blues or folk records ) that make the band special.
Heligoland have released an EP, two 7" singles (Separate, Along the snowline) and two albums : Shift these thoughts ( 2003 big rig records ) and A street between us ( 2006 Alone Again. Records/Australia ; Ocean Music/Europe ).
Heligoland have recently settled in Paris.

Stop-Loss (UK - DVD R2)
Leigh Riding salutes the latest US wartime drama on Paramount DVD
After a bloody shootout in Iraq, Sergeant Brandon King (Ryan Phillippe) completes his tour of duty and returns to his hometown in Texas and is given a hero's welcome. However, Brandon feels anything but heroism. After all of the bloodshed and lost friends in Iraq, he just wants to put the war behind him, leave the army now his time is up and return to his old life. However, the army isn't finished with Brandon, and they plan another tour of duty for him.
Brandon has his own plans and goes AWOL, hitting the road with his friend Michelle (Abbie Cornish) and heads for Washington to see if a senator will override the new tour of duty.
In the current climate in America, it's a brave studio that risks money producing a movie tackling the American military. The apathy of the American public toward the current conflict is incredibly strong, and debated back and forth in countless newspapers, books, newsrooms and on picket lines. The last thing that people there want to see is a Hollywood simplification of the conflict that alienates both the left wing and the right wing audiences. In the last few years there have been many attempts to bring the conflicts to the screen, and all have failed at the box office. The Kingdom, In the Valley of Elah, Redacted, Lions for Lambs[i]... The list goes on.
Filmmakers try to sell the films from a different angle; Where a film like [i]Redacted goes for the straight war angle, Lions for Lambs tackles the subject in boardrooms and Washington offices. The Kingdom went for the same angle that the Willem Dafoe vehicle Saigon used for the Vietnam conflict, and dressed the conflict up in a police procedural 'genre' movie. Stop-Loss follows the same theme as Home of the Brave and In the Valley of Elah; the war at home.
Of all of these films, on paper Stop-Loss has the least promise. For a start the film is an MTV/Paramount co-production, it features an outrageously good looking cast, and upon its US release it came saddled with an ad campaign that was more The O.C and Varsity Blues than Rendition. The whole production looked so lightweight that it could have been blown away in a light breeze. If cinephiles were to dig a little deeper, they would have seen that on the bottom of the Gap-style poster for Stop-Loss, the director was Kimberley Piecre, revered director of Boys Don't Cry, which would have sparked interest.
There was also a glaring similarity to Home of the Brave, which was released months earlier. Anybody who has actually seen Home of the Brave (filmed in 2006 and shelved for two years) will no doubt be nervous about the similarity between the two movies, as Brave was a star studded, cliché ridden dog featuring a misty eyed Samuel L. Jackson gazing meaningfully into the distance, and Jessica Biel crying about the fact that she had trouble flipping pancakes in a saucepan for her daughter after having three fingers blown off.
It's not surprising that Stop-Loss is the better of the two films, but it is surprising that it is a fine film in it's own right. Raw and grounded from the start, Pierce moves the style of the film around with ease. Shifting from documentary style to stylised montages to a visceral action sequence through to naturalistic human drama in the first twenty-five minutes, the film somehow hangs together incredibly well, and the tone is consistent and sombre throughout. I was most impressed with the start of the film, with a very economical and interesting introduction of the main characters that says more in five minutes of montages than some other films say in twenty minutes of dialogue and exposition.
The director also acquits herself well with the main action set piece. Dirty, vicious and tense, the whole sequence is guided with confidence for a director with no track record of action cinema. Reminiscent of The Kingdom it's a bravura sequence. However, it's unlikely that Pierce will become the next Kathryn Bigelow.
Although there are a couple of Texan accents that are rather jarring, the performances are very solid throughout. Ryan Phillipe carries the film well, and is another step towards his quest for indie acceptance. Joseph Gordon Levitt is equally strong, with a darkly comic standout scene involving a can of beer, a shotgun and unwanted wedding presents. Along with Brick and The Lookout, this film marks out Levitt as a name to watch. The cast is also rounded out by small but pivotal performances from Ciaran Hinds and Tim Olyphant, lending the film a little more weight.
Stop-Loss is not perfect. Although the trip to Washington is scripted with good intentions, there is occasionally an over reliance on convenience and melodrama that takes away from the realistic kudos the script gained earlier in the film. However, the film is always put back on track when it seems threatened to be derailed, and a few plot points really come from left field, such as a meeting up with one of Brendan's war buddies that I personally found rather shocking and disturbing. The movie also gets respect for not wrapping everything up in a bow by the climax. The underlying theme that the seeds of discontent were sown with Brandon's friends and fellow soldiers before they even reached Iraq, and wartime trauma is that last little push toward what we see in the film from the main characters, is an interesting comment on what the writers think is going wrong in America.
Although Stop-Loss labours as an ambiguous military whipping boy to our American cousins (One man's anti-war film is another man's propaganda piece), it is a far easier watch with the benefit of political distance. It's safe to say that while the US will see this as an ultra-political 'message' movie that, to be fair, has far greater relevance to them than us, It's easier for the British audience to view the film with a lot more political detachment, and be seen as a simpler war-based drama, and a superb film in it's own right.
Stop-Loss is an unconventional film visually, with vivid, eye catching colours in the documentary style opening sequences, moving to desaturated action sequences, and naturalistic footage post-homecoming. The 1.78:1 anamorphic transfer is more impressive for what it doesn't do, rather than what it does. Despite the variance in film stock and colour, no one style looks any worse than the other. The documentary sequences look superb, the action sequence is pin sharp, and night time sequences show no sign of unintentional grain. For a drama, this is given a top drawer, well balanced transfer.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is equally impressive for a disc to a film you assume Paramount wouldn't put too much production effort into. The track delivers strong dialogue from the centre; a deep, kicking bass, with some superb explosions to rock your sofa; and great work from the rears. The most impressive sequence is obviously the shootout, and the use of the five surrounds quite simply rock. Score and songs are really well balanced in the mix, and the film feels 'big'. It might seem odd to compare the track with Cloverfield, but both films share the same contrivance of delivering 5.1 sound from a camcorder in certain Iraq sequences. Much like that film Stop-Loss uses the concept to it's advantage, and strangely draws you into those sequences more. Who knew this would be a new demo disc for my home cinema setup?
You're not getting a gag reel in with these features, that's for sure. First up is an audio commentary with writer/director Kimberly Peirce and co-writer Mark Richard, who are lively and informative and give lots of information on the genesis of the project, based on actual camcorder footage from troops. 'The Making of Stop-Loss', runs a good twenty minutes and features quite a lot about the origins of the story, but is essentially a standard talking heads feature. 'A Day in Boot Camp', runs for roughly ten minutes and features the cast learning about the ins and outs of soldiering, and is a pretty standard feature for military films these days. Finally there are eleven deleted scenes with optional director's commentary.
Stop-Loss is a far stronger film than it's very poor box office might suggest. Stylistically ambitious, commendably raw and mostly convincing, this is destined to be one of those 'lost' movies that won't disappoint when it's discovered. Neither overtly pro-military nor anti-war, the film straddles an ambiguous middle ground that intrigues. Given an impressive DVD set by Paramount, it's far more likely to find an audience in the UK, and is surprisingly and highly recommended.

New owner nets Argos bar renewal
PLYMOUTH - Several businesses received their automatic renewal on liquor licenses from the Marshall County Alcoholic Beverage Commission and one met Health Department requirements in a continued action.
Bertin Torres of Los Hermanos Lounge had come before the board at their previous meeting, seeking a transfer of a license for the bar. Torres had previously completed the purchase of the building for Los Hermanos.
The Marshall County Health Department had registered an objection to the transfer since Torres had not received the proper permits or undergone inspections necessary to serve food and drinks at the establishment.
Torres completed the paper work, fees and inspections and is now in full compliance with Health Department standards. The Commission voted unanimously to transfer the alcohol permit to his name.
Renewal for another business was granted but will likely soon be transferred to another owner.
The Argos Bar and Grill permit currently held by W.T. Arnett was before the board for renewal. Before action could be taken on the permit Justin Hall - a resident of Nashville who is planning a return to his hometown of Argos - came forward to inform the board that he was in the process of purchasing the building and permit of the current business.
Hall told the board that he had begun the process of purchasing the building that houses the Argos Bar and Grill from the estate of it's current owner and had also filed the paperwork to transfer the alcohol license from it's holder - Arnett - to his name.
He told the board that he intends to remodel the establishment and place a barbecue restaurant inside the bar. He also plans on having live music in the business.
Based on the fact that Hall is in the process of purchasing the building and the business the board voted for a one year renewal of the license. Hall will come before the board at a later date to complete the transfer.
Mi Camino Real appeared on the agenda and was awarded their automatic license renewal with no objections.

"Everything has to be recorded and dated," Ferrie says. That includes yield maps and aerial imagery. (Click here to order Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) But it's not enough to just keep track of numbers. Post-season analysis is critical to avoiding disasters during the next season, as Ferrie demonstrates with several fields that experienced varying levels of Goss's wilt from year to year.

"The Holy Family is a rich and engrossing story, elegant and moving. Though it takes place on the epic stage of religious belief and disbelief, the drama itself is simple, humane, and ultimately devastating as the title's twin meanings gradually come into focus. A unique and deeply satisfying read."

New to the site and BMW motorcycles. Have always rode HD, got tired of dealing with them. Always loved the style of BMW so decided to test ride a K1600GTL last Friday. Got off the bike stunned, what a ride. Went home talked the wife, needless to say, I rode out of the dealership the next day on a K1600GTL. Now it was a used 2012 with only 726 miles, yep, the previous owner trucked it down from CT and traded it in on a new Ducati. Good for me. Anyway, I want to ride so bad but Isaac is making his presence felt. So hopefully in the next couple weeks I can get a nice long ride in, maybe an overnight trip some where up north.

An informal workshop and working group around media systems.
What will happen?
We will discuss media systems. Things like television, internet, magazines, blogs, etc. We will view them with several lens including consumption/production, parallel/serial, horizontal/vertical, local/global, centralized/distributed, community/personal. We will then discuss small actions and cover how any new or old computer can become a local information server, a shared public appliance. Using free software, we will go over several ways you can accomplish this. You can do some physical building of a structures to house your device and we can talk about local venues that might house your unit as well. From cafes, music venues, to occupy boston.
Things you can learn to make if you want:
A videobooth, a public timelapse server, command line video remixing, computer timelapse self surveillance, youtube upload scripts, a public text box, and lots of good low level stuff about shell scripting and installing linux, systems thinking, etc.
What you should bring:
Your current computer or an old computer. Any old pc(win2k+) or mac (osx+) can probably be turned into a public information appliance. So bring one of those if you have it.
If you have an old webcam, bring that. If you have an old point and shoot camera from this list, please bring that:
Where: Industry Lab coworking space. 288 Norfolk St, 4th Floor. Near Inman Sq, Cambrij.
When: 4 Wednesdays in November, 7-9pm. Nov 9,16,23,30
RSVP to dan:
If you are interested but can't make the time, you can still email and maybe some additional one-off sessions will be held at other times.

Yes, you guessed it, I'm pretty enthusiastic about the Touch Book. At such a low price, you're getting every geek's desire, and because of the total openness of the hard and software, the community will easily pick up on this one and improve it. Even if you don't care about the geeky nonsense, this is still an insanely cool device. It runs completely fanless and is instant-on. Let's round up the specifications:
- 9.4" x 7" x 1.4" for 2 lbs (with keyboard)
- ARM Texas Instruments OMAP3 chip
- 1024x600 8.9" screen
- Storage: 8GB micro SD card
- Wifi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth
- 3-dimensional accelerometer
- Speakers, micro and headphone
- 6 USB 2.0 (3 internal, 2 external, 1 mini)
- 10h to 15 hours of battery life
Usually these devices-by-and-for-geeks look ugly, but the Touch Book defies that general rule and actually looks pretty decent, with the design coming from Fred Bould. The Touch Book was demonstrated at Demo, and there's a video of it.
The make/break point here is of course the software. While Linux itself won't pose much of a problem, the question is whether or not the custom touch interface that's included will actually be any good. Looking at the few shots of it in the video I have my reservations about it, but it is important to note that it might not be ready yet, and that of course I haven't tried it myself yet.
At a price of only USD 299, this is an absolute bargain. It will become available in May or June 2009. Now, pre-order this thing, but please note that so far you may only pre-order in the United States (boo! Hiss! We Europeans want it too!).

Using A Quit Claim Deed In A Divorce
Are you thinking about divorce? Think again. Is it really worth it?
For anyone who thinks divorce is a free pass to freedom and a carefree, long and happy life, think again!
We won't even speak about the pain resulting when Divorce rears it's ugly head, issues present themselves that no one should have to contend with, issues such as:
Families taking sides, lining up and making comments or threats.
Friends that sometimes pull away when they are put in the position of taking sides and would rather not even to be "involved." This is sometimes devastating in addition to the recent loss of being left alone and feeling totally unnecessary.
In defense of the "friend," choosing between two friends can be a very difficult position in which to exist. Choosing to disappear from the scene, seems to be the only option.
The resulting pain, not withstanding, the home environments change...
A wife may have to return to work.
A husband may have been supporting the family before, but if he is the "leaver," he may be forced to take a second job, in order to maintain a new place to live. (Unless the leaver is a fornicator and is planning to mooch off of their co-conspirator, then they deserve each other.)
Otherwise, the leaver will have to pay, at a minimum for:
- An additional home
- Food
- Utility bills
- Telephone
- Cable
- Insurance
- Taxes
- Maybe an additional vehicle
- Possible childcare costs if he/she has custody when working
- Alimony may be a reality, also.
- And after the spoils are divided up, both will most likely, have half of what they owned before, that means the home entertainment system, the boat, the pool and whatever amenities are important to them.
- Savings will most likely be a non-issue.
- All of these issues can "break the bank."
- Retirement dreams become a myth!
More and more today, if the woman is making a generous amount of money in her chosen position, and her spouse has primary custody, she, not the man, may be charged to pay child support. (The Women's Rights Movement has come to roost.)

With great determination comes with great powers....She alone being animated without a rosa mystica shows how strong her desire to meet Rozen.
I do remember faintly that Shinku did say that Suigintou is able to move and use her powers without a medium is because of her strong will and desire to meet Father (in the manga). Maybe i should start re-reading RM again
Their fairy was sort of like a helper to them...like how Shinku uses hers to find out whats happening in the N-field.

I would need to watch the scene again, but I don't think Meimei "returned" to Shinku, it just contacted her the same way Shinku sent her after Hinaichigo in one of the first episode

Did MeiMei go with Shinku? I don't remember that. Just because Suigintou never needed to use her artificial spirit until later in Traumend doesn't mean it wasn't in her possession.

I watched episode 1 of Traumend again to see what happened. Laplace Demon was the one who was controlling Suigin Tou's artificial spirit to bring Shinku in the N-field. You see the spirit fly to him once they are inside, then he dissapears and the spirit fly to the crystal area where they fight Barasuishou. Later in episode 6, we can assume they gave back Meimei to Suigin Tou before leaving the box in the church, unless the Meimei you see in episode 1 was simply an illusion.
What happened between episode 12 and episode 6 will probably never be told. The only thing we know is that Shinku didnt take her Rosa Mystica.
And omg, music is so awesome in that anime. Every time I open an episode, I end up watching 4-5 complete episode simply to listen to the soundtrack
Another random stupid question. What's the point of throwing rose petal/black feather to your oponent? Even Jun seem to be unafected by them. Just cross your arm in front of your head and none will ever hit you!

While there were scenes when our protagonists could be in a field of black feathers flying at them and not get hit (don't ask me why, it's the unsearchable Law of Anime) those black feathers were actually razor sharp. So were the petals. Besides, they could be, and were, used to distract and hinder the opponent when deployed in a flurry.

1. A doll make a contract by having a person kiss a rose ring they are wearing. Once this person kissed the ring, the ring will appear on one of the medium's ring fingers. In order for a doll to terminate a contract, she simply would return this kiss on the ring when it is on the medium's finger. This would break the contract then.
2. As of the last episode...

<using new account after awhile, since my old one is...dead, so long ago that I no longer remember anything about it>
1) The "when they fly" problem is rather queer, but if it really needs an explanation, it is one of the possibly-left-unanswered plot holes in the anime.
Can they fly in the REAL world? (coz the "city field" in Traumend is an N-Field) I don't remember anything but scenes of Gin's wings, Kana flying with her umbrella, and Desu and Boku double smashing Jun's room window over and over again...
Maybe they can only fly with their TRUNKS in the real world? Except Kana and Gin coz they already have the ability TO.
Edit: Kana's ability to fly doesn't seem to be as free as Gin though. In the manga, she was shown blown away once by the wind while trying to trespass into Jun's house from the air.
2) answered.
3) answered. The purpose of Gin stealing only the "artificial/man-made spirits" is unclear, but it seems that both Desu and Boku need their "spirits" to open the Door of Dreams. Maybe Gin stole it for that purpose?
Boku lost her "spirit" once because Gin took it.
4) here
Pray that Peach-Pit changed the ending in the anime. At least I want to enjoy season 3 peacefully >__>
Explaining some info, since I have nothing else to do...:
Edit: The manga explains why sometimes a Rozen Maiden's attack misses human beings. To quote Shinku, Father forbids his Rozen Maidens to hurt humans (though Gin and Boku don't seem to care much in the manga)

I must say that this was one of the most interesting Rozen Maiden topics I've read in ages, and it did strengthen/alter my opinion on certain matters. (have yet to look at the rest at Animesuki), however, there were a few points in the guide with which I disagree.
(Those points are in the spoiler, both because they do spoil the plot a bit, and it is not the shortest message I've written)

What was the whole point of the Alice game? and why would any doll want to participate in it?
and most importantly, what the hell happened when nobody could in the end become Alice?
the dolls' reason de tre (or how was it?) is lost. it all really seems pointless, just for the sake of itself...

text: When I was a little kid and up until I was 10 years old; we use to go up north to Warren, Ontario to visit my Great Grandfather Isreal Noel Ouellette & Great Grandma Aldea (nee Gervais) almost every summer. We live in Windsor, Ontario across the river from Detroit, Michigan. Warren is about an 8-9 hour drive north past North Bay but before Sudbury. My mom & dad would load up the car and off we would go to Grandpa Wilfrid Lafleur & Grandma Desneige (nee Ouellette)'s house in Windsor to meet up with them and get on the road. Sometimes we would have other aunts and uncles join us too. So our little caravan of family would head up the highway 401 and then over to the 400 and finally the 11. Now we would visit other relatives up there including my other great grandparents (GGranpa Eugene Lafleur and GGrandma Marie Louise (nee Trudel), but we spent the most time at the Ouellette's and that is were most of the big get togethers would be. We would go to a hotel and get up early to do some visiting and when we were headed to dinner before going to Great Grandma's I never understood why. I mean even at the age of 6 I knew not to fill up before going there. No matter if you did just eat or not, she would take out food. AND let me tell you Great Grandma Ouellette could cook. I loved her food. Besides the food everyone would get together around the table and play cards and talk and visit into the wee hours of the night. During the day it was always fun to go blueberry and raspberry picking behind their home. They had a large piece of land with a hill behind it, and on top of the hill was one of those giant red and white Radio broadcasting poles. Great Grandpa rented his property out to them. Of course being northern Ontario the land is part of the Canadian Shield of bedrock so it is great for a young boy to go climbing and exploring with his dad. I use to love those excursions every summer. The Ouellette homestead wasn't much more then a little shack of a home, but it was a mansion of family love and togetherness, where all were welcome. I miss those times and my great grandparents and grandparents too; however it is always great to "Remember When....."
