The Emery High Spartan volleyball team worked hard to improve themselves this season as they faced the formidable task of playing in the best region in the state. Their season long quest paid off at the state tournament as they went 2-2 and finished eighth.
Emery started the tournament with Pine View, the Region 9 top seed. The Spartans lost in four games, 13-25, 25-28, 26-24 and 18-25. This is a game the Spartans wish they had over because they know they would win the second time around.
Emery moved to the consolation bracket and played Region 10's #2 seed Uintah High Friday afternoon. In another exciting match they won 25-18, 17-25, 25-23 and 25-23.
Saturday morning found the Spartans playing another region 9 team, Hurricane High School. Emery again won in four games 25-27, 25-20, 25-20 and 25-1. The Spartans were a little sluggish out of the gate but once there they played really well.
In the game for sixth place, Emery found themselves against region foe North Sanpete. The ladies started strong winning two of the first thre games but could not hold on, as they appeared to run out of gas just a little. The scores were 25-19, 16-25, 25-17, 17-25 and 15-8. Seniors Misty Nielson, Mandi Weihing, Krista Ungerman, Jerica Jensen and Adrian McNee will be missed but there will be plenty of talent back for next season. EHS Volleyball Roster 2004-Adrian McNee, Jerica Jensen, Misty Nielson, Mandi Weihing, Krista Ungerman, Natalee Hanson, Shari Tuttle, Shaylie Huntington, Tahna Merrell, Ashley Hansen, Kassie Allred, Shalae Cox, Rachel Rasmussen, Haylie Hansen, Maegan Luke, Jackie Rogers, Camille Fehlberg, Brandee Wilson, Charlotte Withers, Jalee Jensen, Meagan Pearson and Tamra Luke.

This recipe calls for frenched lamb chops, which are chops with the meat cut away from the end of the rib so that part of the bone is exposed. Frenching the chop makes it cleaner and let
- baby lamb chops - 12, frenched
- fresh basil - 1 handful, washed and dried well
- cilantro - 1/2 handful , washed and dried well
- garlic cloves - 3, peeled
- extra virgin olive oil - 1/4 cup, plus more for drizzling
- pine nuts - 1/2 cup, toasted
- bread crumbs - 1/4 cup, plus more for sprinkling, unseasoned dried
- Kosher salt - and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a food processor, combine the basil, cilantro, and garlic. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
Add the olive oil and pine nuts and process until the mixture forms a paste, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the bread crumbs, and season with salt and pepper.
Season both sides of the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Prepare a grill or set a grill pan over high heat. Sear the lamb chops on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Place a spoonful of pesto in the center of each chop, then spread it evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with additional bread crumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the crust is golden and crisp and the lamb is pink inside, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

still something is a bit asthmatic
i was thinking about making a offline copy of the reference
Something like 30$.
The last version of windoze I actually payed money for was XP when it was first released. And that only cost me 5$ - a campus deal. If M$ can live with 5$ per copy, 30$ should be fine.

Satin Smooth Nice 'N Neat Natural Wax Large Replacement Cartridges spread thinly and easily on face and body parts.
Glyceryl Roinate, Paraffinum Liquium, Cera Alba, Cera Microcristallina
Heating: Remove wax container lid before placing into hand-held warmer. Place wax cartridge container into hand-held warmer pressing down firmly so that the entire cartridge fits deep into the heating chamber. Turn on the Satin Smooth Nice N Neat Single Cartridge Wax Warmer to the maximum high setting. This will produce a rapid heat up and melt wax quickly. Once wax is melted turn the dial down to medium. Allow 20-30 minutes for the wax to stabilize to a usable temperature before applying to skin. Never apply the wax on the skin if the warmer has been left on high. Test the wax on a large non-woven cloth strip. Hold until upside down or at a 45 degree angle. Apply wax from the top to the bottom of the cloth. If the wax applies easy to the cloth, it is ready to be used.
Waxing: For best results body hair should be at least 1/4 inch. Do not use cream or body lotion before waxing. Ensure that the skin is clean and dry. Skin may be cleansed using Satin Smooth Skin Preparation Cleanser . Always test a small amount of wax for proper temperature on the inside of your wrist before waxing application begins. Hold applicator upside down at a 45 degree angle and apply wax following hair growth. Satin Smooth Nice N Neat Roller Heads will allow you to apply the wax thinly and neatly. Place one strip over the waxed area and press down firmly with the palm of your hand. Hold the skin taut and peel the strip sharply away in one quick movement, against the direction of hair growth. Should any hair remain, reapply the same wax coated strip and remove as described before. Repeat until the entire area being treated is free from hair. If some wax remains on the skin, remove using Satin Smooth Satin Release Wax Residue Remover. After finishing a section apply Satin Smooth Satin Cool Aloe Vera Smoothing Gel to reduce any discomfort, then apply Satin Smooth Satin Hydrate Skin Nourisher evenly over the area and massage in.
After Waxing: Turn the warmer off and unplug. Remove the cartridge from the warmer and clean both the heater and the outer surface of the wax container with Satin Smooth Re Movelt All Purpose Cleaner. The partially used wax container can be stored in the warmer. with the warming unit cover in place to protect from dust and foreign elements.
Imported from Italy, Satin Smooth waxes use a unique blend of beeswaxes, which contains a natural antibiotic called propolis that protects freshly waxed skin. The Satin Smooth collection includes waxes, warmers, lotions and accessories for all skin and hair types. Satin Smooth products are ideal for waxing aficionados or those curious to try.
Works Better Than "satin Smooth Nice 'n Neat Large Deluxe Cream Wax Replacement Cartridges"This product was awesome to use. I had trouble with the same brand (pink colored was) but this did not peel off any layer of the skin and was quick and clean to use. Highly recommend this for the home users.

Anybody else wondering just what or where the kamui dimension is? I know I am! I have arrived at 3 possibilities. I will share them in order starting with most likely and ending at least likely.
1) The moon. Yes, the moon. Almost everytime the manga puts obito in the spotlight beginning in kakashi gaiden and up through the current chapters, there is an illustrative focus on the moon. Kakashi gaiden gave us two key moments of obito developing as a character which kishi immediately followed up with an arbitrary panel drawing the moon. I say arbitrary because it served no purpose establishing setting /time of day. It was strictly an accompaniment image with obito's growth. Obito's mokuton rampage was shown to be the first instance of his mangekyo behaving in its trademark spiral fashion. When using his mokuton and mangekyo together in the dimensional slaughter of the mist ninjas, the climactic carnage shows his power spiraling towards the moon. I don't think for a second it was mere dramatic effect.
The sharingan is a literal shard of the rinnegan. The sharingan, being the result of the sage's division of power between his sons means all sharingan abilities and powers would not fall outside the deliberate scheme of the sage. The sage would also have had exposure or use of such a dimension. The doorway open to obito and kakashi would be open to the sage in other words. i doubt any sharingan ability would be devoid of a link to the what the sage also had. The sage sealed the jyubi's body in the moon, its sealing stone but transporting something of that magnitude requires a special technique, kamui is an excellent choice if the sharingan indeed retains techniques, albeit weaker or costly, of the rinnegan.
Obito is instrumental in the moon's eye plan. Madara was able to unlock the moon and recover jyubi 's body but to cast genjutsu from the moon, a way to get there or reach it could be necessary, kamui solves this. We haven't heard much about the sage and space-time tech but if kamui is prominent and deserving of minato's appraisal then rest assured it was the sage's very same technique.
2) an empty world of blank imagination awaiting an introduction of Yang energies to shape it into a real world. This means it is a step or two above a genjutsu space like madara used in lecturing obito or itachi's tsukiyomi, those were spaces strictly in the mind whereas the kamui dimension is blank space converged with the mind as linked through the mangekyo level of power. It is mystical existence lacking in outward circumstance. The sharingan possesses some of the tools needed in ultimate creation. The kamui dimension would be a manifestation of those tools at work. Also, depending on how much info madara and tobi have concealed, the kamui under rinnegan and/or jyubi power could possibly manage to transport everyone on the planet to a new world that so far only obito's sharingan can reach. Where genjutsu mixes with that and when i can't say atm. If indeed a blank space to be filled with creation then this places obito much higher in importance to the story, well beyond a pawn or supporting role who's time is nearly up. That ability is an ultimate power.
3) An imaginary space. It's strictly imagination, not quite a blank canvas mentioned above but still a degree more in substance than genjutsu space. Kamui merely links reality to imagination without shaping either one. The sharingan is heavily tied to imagination and limited solidification of illusion. Kamui is another unique way the sharingan can conduct a relationship with dream and reality.
In conclusion, whichever turns out to be the case will also determine the importance of obito remaining throughout the rest of the story. Kakashi's possession of this power does not conflict with any of the situations. It can mean kakashi's kamui is linked to obito's imagination or some complicated variation of how sharingan behaves when dealing with illusion and shared dreaming. I don't have the energy to explain properly. There just is logical explanation for kakashi to reach obito's imagination through their proven to be linked sharingan.
Phasing, it gets really interesting when trying to fit the "phasing" effect into any if the 3 scenarios. I wonder what effect signifies. Scenario 2 and 3 can suggest that his phasing is making "reality into illusion" by sending his body to imagination space. This ties to his grandstanding as an inconsequential nobody. In scenario 1, any speculation regarding phasing bases itself on a lack of evidence from the manga. It also implies the nature of certain facets in the sage's relationship with the jyubi. Having presence in two places at once.
Kamui is vital to the moon's eye plan for either the need to transport the entire world to a special physical location (moon) or to transport the entire world into "sharingan space". The next step ofc is to then implement the genjutsu.
I'll hold off elaborating further until i see if anyone cares or has interest in discussing.

Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump's unique ComfortSeal cushion creates a secure seal for more comfortable and efficient pumping. Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump's ergonomic handle and lightweight compact design allow for easy one-handed use. Quiet manual operation - doesn't require batteries or electrical source ComfortSeal cushion creates a secure seal for more comfortable & efficient pumping Design allows for pumping directly into most standard bottles Lightweight, compact - allows for easy, one-handed use & portability Ergonomic handle for comfortable, easy pumping Flange cover/bottle stand holds bottles to prevent spills and/or covers flange of pump for cleanliness during travel BPA free Frequently Asked Questions Is Lansinoh's manual pump dishwasher safe? All of the parts in the manual pump are dishwasher safe. To be extra cautious, Lansinoh recommends hand washing the white valve, silicone diaphragm stem and the ComfortSeal Cushion to prevent loss and to extend their usefulness. What about replacement parts? Lansinoh is unable to replace the flange, however, many of the manual pump replacement parts are available for purchase on the Lansinoh website. Do I have to use the ComfortSeal cushion? Can I use it with Lansinoh's electric pump? While you don't have to use the ComfortSeal Cushion, it was designed in order to help you create a strong, solid seal which will aid greatly while pumping your milk with this manual pump. If you find that it is easier or more comfortable to use the pump without the cushion, you can pump that way. The ComfortSeal Cushion fits on the standard size flange of our Double Electric Breast Pump. Can I use Lansinoh bags to pump into from the manual pump? Because their bags have a double zipper closure, they will not fit directly on either of Lansinoh's breast pumps. Is there a warranty on this pump? The Manual Pump does not come with a warranty. Please call customer service at 1 800 292 4794 or email if you have any other questions. Can I sterilize the Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump parts by boiling in water? After undertaking Lansinoh's standard of continuous boiling is for 100 hours, Lansinoh™ confirmed the Manual Pump parts work properly and that there will be no deformation on bottle or any parts after 100 hours of boiling. However, please be sure that no parts of the bottle or attachments touch the bottom or the sides of the pan because this could cause the bottles to melt. Your baby (or babies!) has arrived and you have decided to breastfeed. The closeness shared between you and your baby during this process is magical. Good luck in your breastfeeding journey. Lansinoh's goal is to provide you with answers, support and products you need to make this a great experience for you and your baby. What to Expect as a Breastfeeding Mom Every baby is different! And every mom's experience with her newborn is unique. While no two babies are alike, the following typical feeding routines should let you know what to expect, help you recognize the ranges of normal, and give you guidance about when to seek help from a healthcare provider. Breastfed Newborns Nurse A Lot On average, your baby will awaken to breastfeed every one to three hours or feed at least 8-12 times per day. Feedings are timed from the beginning of one nursing to the beginning of the next. After your baby finishes a feeding, she'll probably be ready to nurse again within the next couple of hours. Many new breastfeeding mothers are not prepared for the normal frequency of feedings. They assume they must not have enough milk because their baby wants to feed so often. New breastfeeding mothers often comment, "It seems like all I do is breastfeed." Many moms feel this way. This is not how breastfeeding looks forever. Most breastfed babies become more efficient at breastfeeding as they get older. Try not to focus much attention on the clock. Instead, follow your baby's cues about how often she needs to nurse. If she was just fed an hour ago and is acting hungry again, respond to her signals and offer your breast. Feeding frequently during these first weeks is the principal way your milk supply becomes adjusted to meet your baby's requirements. This is known as the "breastfeeding law of supply and demand." Remember that empty breasts make milk, so it's important to continue breastfeeding frequently to make milk. Your Breasts Seem to be Taking on a Life of Their Own Your body is experiencing a lot during this time and as your breasts continue to produce milk, they may seem like they are changing by the hour. In the early months of nursing, you may experience leaking. Nursing pads, like Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads, help prevent embarrassing leaks. Your breasts may also swell and become engorged, and your nipples can become sensitive and sore. If your nipples do become sore or cracked, Lansinoh HPA Lanolin or Soothies by Lansinoh Gel Pads can be applied to soothe and protect your nipples. Engorgement, or swollen breasts, is a temporary condition that begins about the third day postpartum. Nursing frequently during this period is the best way to alleviate engorgement. Breastfeeding while engorged can be difficult since the baby can have a hard time properly latching on, but don't let this discourage you. If your breasts do become engorged and you get flat nipples, try Lansinoh LatchAssist. LatchAssist is a simple tool to help your nipples temporarily stand out, making it easier for your baby to establish a good latch. Your nipple needs to touch the roof of your babies mouth to stimulate the baby to latch on, suck and swallow. Other things to try: Take hot showers to help soften your breasts Express some of the milk either by hand expression or with a breast pump. Express just enough to soften the breast so the baby can properly latch onto the breast Use ice packs after nursing to help keep the swelling down and relieve the pain. Bags of frozen peas wrapped in a cold washcloth work well Breastfeeding 101: Is baby hungry? As you care for your newborn, you'll develop a bond, and start to understand "what's normal" and what's not, with your baby. Eating properly is a big part of this, which will be covered in Breastfeeding 101. It won't be long before you identify and understand the different sounds and gestures your baby makes. Babies generally need at least 10 to 12 feedings in a 24-hour period. But remember that each baby is different, and looking for feeding cues is the most important part of feeding your baby properly. When the baby is hungry, signs to look for include: putting hands to mouth; sucking sounds; the tongue coming out and licking things; head moving around in search of the breast, also known as rooting; and fussiness. Crying is a late stage sign of hunger. While feeding, you also might wonder if your baby is getting enough milk. Often, people in your life who are not supportive of breastfeeding will attribute any kind of fussiness or crying to your baby being hungry. But don't get drawn in by this breastfeeding myth. While there is no way of knowing just how much milk the baby is getting from the breast, continuous weight gain and alertness is an indication that the baby is getting enough. Diapers are another good indicator that your baby is being properly nourished. Wet diapers indicate good hydration, while poop diapers indicate enough calories. By day four, moms and dads should be changing at least four poop diapers, and four to five wet diapers each day. By day seven, the amount of wet diapers will increase to 6 to 8 wet diapers a day. Familiarize yourself with how a disposable diaper feels both wet and dry so you can feel a little more secure with recognizing a wet ultra-absorbent diaper. Don't be alarmed by the appearance of baby's poop, as it will change during the first few days from black and tarry to green to yellow and can look seedy. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your pediatrician or lactation counselor. Pumping Basics Pumping is a way for a breastfeeding mom to express her milk so she can leave it behind for her baby when they have to be apart whether for work or the occasional errand. Pumping is also a way that a breastfeeding mom can keep up her milk supply if she is away from her baby. While feeding directly at the breast is the ideal way to feed a baby, according to a Lansinoh™ survey conducted in 2005, 94 percent of first-time mothers plan to pump their milk because of being apart from their breastfed baby and to keep up their supply during these absences. Here's some information to get you started: When Do I Pump? If you are pumping to have extra milk on hand for occasional use, the best time to pump is in the morning, after your first morning feeding. Milk supply is most abundant in the early hours of the morning, so take advantage of this time to pump after baby's first feeding in the morning. If you are going back to work, you will need to have more milk on hand. To build a supply of milk prior to going back to work, pump daily in the morning and put it directly into the freezer. Then when you go back to work, pump at work at the times when your baby would be feeding. Store the milk safely at work and bring home whatever milk you've pumped during the workday and add to your freezer stash. See Pumping at Work for more tips on establishing a routine when you go back to work. Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags and Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bottles can be used for safe and convenient milk storage. How Do I Pump? The process of pumping is simple but it does take some getting used to. Wash your hands before using the pump. The most important part of successful pumping is the let-down reflex. This is when your milk begins to flow freely. Thinking of or looking at a photo of your baby while pumping can help. Center the nipple in the flanges (the cone-like parts that go on the breast). Make sure the breast completely fills the breast flange so that a vacuum is formed and no air escapes. The nipple tunnel should tilt slightly downward to allow milk to flow naturally toward the bottle. On average, a pumping session will usually last about 20 minutes but this can vary from mom to mom. Remember, successful pumping is a learned art. Early practice sessions may be shorter or longer than stated here and may result in only a small amount of milk collected. Milk is produced on a supply and demand basis. So, if you are trying to build a supply of milk before you go to work add a pumping session to your schedule each day, preferably after you feed your baby in the morning. Continue to pump that same time each day. Don't worry if you only get a small amount the first time because you are telling your body to make more milk for the next day. Each day you may see more milk and your supply will build. Store the milk Storing Breastmilk It is important to store your breastmilk in a place that is sanitary and safe. If you are pumping and storing your breastmilk at work in a common refrigerator, make sure you label it with your name or put it in a bag so it is not mistaken for regular milk. If you have any questions about proper storage of breastmilk, talk to your pediatrician, International Certified Lactation Consultant or follow the guidelines below from La Leche League International. What Type of Container to Use Refrigerated or frozen milk may be stored in: Hard-sided plastic or glass containers with well-fitting tops. BPA Free containers, like Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bottles. Freezer milk bags that are designed for storing breastmilk, like Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags. Other storage tips: Containers should not be filled to the top - leave an inch of space to allow the milk to expand as it freezes. Disposable bottle liners are not recommended. With these, the risk of contamination is greater. These types of bags tend to be less durable and tend to leak, and some types of plastic that is used to make these bags may destroy nutrients in milk. Mark the date on the storage container. Include your baby's name on the label if your baby is in a day care setting. Keep frozen milk in the middle of the freezer away from the sides where the temperature can fluctuate as you do not want milk to partially thaw as thawed milk cannot be refrozen. How to Warm the Breastmilk Thaw and/or heat under warm, running water. Do not bring temperature of milk to boiling point. Gently swirl milk before testing the temperature. Swirling will also redistribute the cream into the milk. (It is normal for stored milk to separate into a cream and milk layer.) Do not shake vigorously as it could damage some of the live components of breastmilk. Do not use a microwave oven to heat breastmilk. Thawed Breastmilk Previously frozen milk that has been thawed can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It should not be refrozen. Has Your Frozen Breastmilk Gone Bad? In very rare cases, some mothers who have meticulously expressed and frozen their milk for later use have discovered to their dismay that all their frozen milk has turned rancid. This happens when a mother produces milk that is high in lipase, the enzyme that breaks down the fat in milk. Depending upon the level of lipase in her milk, some mothers notice this rancid smell after their milk has cooled in the refrigerator; others, notice it only after the milk has been frozen for a while. Thankfully this doesn't happen often, and this can be prevented if the lipase is detected before the milk is frozen. It is suggested that every mother who is planning to freeze her milk should freeze some test batches of milk and thaw it out after a week or so to be sure it has not become rancid. If it smells rancid, she may need to scald the milk before freezing in the future to deactivate the lipase in her milk. For more information, please see the Breastfeeding Answer Book published by La Leche League International. Introducing Solids Breastmilk is all your baby needs until at least six months of age. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization and many other health organizations recommend that babies be exclusively breastfed (no cereal, juice or other foods) for the first 6 months. But after your baby is 6 months, you may want to start exploring solids. Why start your baby on solid foods? Because there comes a time when breastmilk no longer supplies all your baby's nutritional needs. A full term baby will start requiring iron from other sources by 6 to 9 months of age. Because some babies not started on solids by a certain age (9-12 months) may have great difficulty accepting solid foods. Because it is a developmental milestone that your child passes when he or she starts solid foods. At a certain point, a baby will want to eat solids. When to start solid foods The best time to start solids is when the baby is showing interest in starting, though most experts agree that exclusively feeding breastmilk until at least 6 months is preferred and ideal for baby's health and nutrition. By 6 months of age, some babies will be reaching and trying to grab food that parents have on their plates. This may not be the best indicator of a baby's readiness for solids because your baby is grabbing at everything! Look for your baby's ability to sit up and the loss of the reflex to push food out of their mouths with their tongue. Go by the baby's cues. A breastfed baby digests solid foods better and earlier than an artificially fed baby because breastmilk contains enzymes which help digest fats, proteins and starch. Breastfed babies also have had a wide variety of tastes in their lives, since the flavors of many foods the mother eats will pass into her milk. Breastfed babies thus accept solids more readily than artificially fed babies. How should solids be introduced? When your baby is starting to take solids at about 6 months of age, it really doesn't matter what foods are introduced first. It is better to avoid highly spiced or highly allergenic foods at first (e.g. egg white, strawberries), but if the baby reaches for the potato on your plate, make sure it is not too hot, mash it up, and let him have the potato. There is no need to go in any specific order, and there is no need for the baby to eat only one food for a certain period of time. Some exclusively breastfed babies dislike infant cereal when it is introduced at 6 months of age. There is no need for concern and no need to persist if the baby doesn't want the cereal. There is nothing magic or necessary about infant cereal. Offer the baby foods that he is interested in. Allow the baby to enjoy food and do not worry about exactly how much he actually takes at first. More than anything, the introduction to solid foods is a photo opportunity! Much of it may end up in his hair and on the floor anyhow. There is no need either that foods be pureed if the baby is 6 months of age or older. Simple mashing with a fork is all that is necessary at first. You also do not have to be exceedingly careful about how much the baby takes. Be relaxed, feed the baby at your mealtimes, and as he becomes a more accomplished eater of solid foods, offer a greater variety of foods at any one time. The best source of iron for the baby 6 months of age or older is meat or beans (lentils, for example, are very nutritious and are a good source of iron). Infant cereal has iron, but it is poorly absorbed and may cause the baby to be constipated. There is no reason to introduce vegetables before fruit. Breastmilk is far sweeter than fruit, so there is no reason to believe that the baby will take vegetables better by delaying the introduction of fruit. Respect your baby's likes and dislikes. There is no essential food (except breastmilk). If your baby does not like a certain food, do not force it. If you think it is important for him, wait a few weeks and offer it again. At about 9 months of age, babies become somewhat assertive in displaying their individuality. Your baby may not want you to put a spoon into his mouth. He very likely will take it out of your hand and put it into his mouth himself, often upside down, so that the food falls on his lap. Respect his attempts at self sufficiency and encourage his learning. Make eating fun! When it comes to breastfeeding, some may assume that dad plays no role or has little influence on the feeding process. However, while mom is physically responsible for breastfeeding, dad's behavior can either support or undermine the success of breastfeeding. In fact, a study in Pediatrics focused on whether support from the dad can help breastfeeding moms. Of the husbands who were taught how to help manage common breastfeeding problems, one quarter of the mothers in the study were still breastfeeding exclusively or predominately when their babies were six months old, compared with 15 percent of women whose partner attended a class on general health and nutrition. Top 10 Tips for Dads There are many things that dads can do to build their own relationship with their baby (and mom too): Remember that the only thing Dads can't do is breastfeed. Dads can soothe a crying baby, change diapers, carry the baby and play-all of which can be very rewarding for the baby, fun and satisfying for dad, and a great help to mom. Whenever possible, get up with the baby and bring the baby to mom for feedings-especially those in the middle of the night! Take a walk with the baby and suggest your partner relax, nap or do something for herself like take a relaxing bath. After the baby has been fed, offer to rock, burp or sing the baby back to sleep. One of the best ways to keep baby happy is to keep mom happy. Help pick up around the house or run errands so mom can concentrate on breastfeeding and the baby. Continue helping to keep your relationship balanced, too, since the birth of a baby can be overwhelming to many couples. Guard your partner against well-meaning but intrusive visitors who come bearing unsolicited advice. Many friends and relatives suddenly become experts about breastfeeding and parenting when a new baby arrives. Although these 'words of wisdom' may come with good intentions, they can sometimes be hurtful or even harmful. When there are other children involved, a new baby can shake things up a bit. If possible, take a short leave to help with the older children during the first few weeks after the baby is born. Go to the playground or schedule other outside activities so your partner can focus on the baby and rest. It's important to spend time together with your new baby, as well as alone as a couple when the baby is sleeping. Keep an eye on mom for signs of postpartum depression. This is the most critical job dad takes on after the new baby arrives. If you notice your partner is restless or irritable, feeling sad, depressed or crying a lot, lacks energy, is experiencing headaches, chest pains, heart palpitations, numbness, or hyperventilation (fast and shallow breathing), talk with her and seek the advice of a medical professional. While feeding can be a special time to bond, it's important not to pressure mom to express her milk or supplement with formula so you can help feed the baby before she's ready. It's important for her and the baby to have breastfeeding firmly established (4 weeks or so) before introducing a bottle. Doing this too early could affect her supply and could possibly derail breastfeeding success. Adding a new baby to the mix is always going to stir your life up a bit, even if it's not your first baby. Give yourself a break if you need it and always keep the lines of communication open with your partner. Fathers of breastfed infants soon learn the many unique and meaningful ways, apart from feeding, that they can bond with their new baby and partner. Debunking Breastfeeding Myths Here are the facts about some common breastfeeding misconceptions: Myth: Breastfeeding is painful Fact: Breastfeeding should not be painful; but in the early weeks, along with swelling and engorgement, nipples can become sensitive and sore. Proper positioning of mother and baby is important as is proper latch-on to the breast. If your nipples do become sore or cracked, Lansinoh HPA Lanolin can be applied to help soothe, heal and protect the nipple, and Soothies by Lansinoh Gel Pads can provide cooling relief upon contact for sore, tender nipples. Myth: If I have sore nipples the most effective solution is to use expressed breastmilk Fact: A new independent 2010 study concludes that HPA™ Lanolin, combined with breastfeeding education, is more effective than expressed breastmilk, combined with breastfeeding education, in reducing nipple pain and promoting healing of nipple trauma (Abou-Dakn et al). The full study can be viewed free online. If you have additional questions about breastfeeding, contact an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, or speak to your obstetrician or pediatrician. Myth: Alternating between the breast and bottle does not cause nipple confusion Fact: Early on, switching your baby between a bottle and breast may cause nipple confusion or nipple preference. In a very short time baby could learn to prefer bottle feeding to breastfeeding because she has not had the opportunity to establish the correct mouth movements for proper breastfeeding. Try to avoid using bottles and pacifiers for the first four weeks of your baby's life to have an opportunity to establish your milk supply and nursing routine. Myth: If my baby is nursing every hour, I can't be producing enough milk Fact: Often cited as a main reason for not breastfeeding, only about 1% of women are unable to produce enough breastmilk for their babies. Breastmilk production works on supply and demand so more nursing or pumping can actually increase your milk. It's absolutely normal for your baby to nurse very frequently at certain times of the day because breastmilk is easier to digest and sometimes baby will cluster feed. This is a good thing because cluster feeding often will lead to longer stretches of sleep. Often babies will increase their frequency of feedings because of a growth spurt, usually around six weeks and then three, six and nine months of age. If you are separated from your baby, it is important to pump as often as the baby would nurse so your body continues to produce milk. Myth: Breastfeeding mothers must use both breasts at each feeding Fact: It's not as important that the baby feeds from both breasts at every feeding, but rather that he finishes the first breast and gets the hindmilk. The foremilk at the beginning of a feed quenches the baby's thirst and hydrates him, while the thicker hindmilk at the end of the feed is full of protein and fat to help the baby grow. If only one breast is used at a feeding, make sure that the next feeding begins with the other breast, in order to keep producing plenty of milk. Myth: You can't continue to breastfeed after you return to work Fact: It is possible, and very common, for women to breastfeed and work full or part time, but it does take a little planning and commitment. Since your body is programmed to produce milk, you will need to make arrangements to either pump while at work or go home to breastfeed at regular intervals throughout the day. Breastfeeding successfully while working may sometimes be a challenge, but with the support of your employer, using an efficient breast pump and finding a proper storage area for your expressed milk, it can be done. The important thing is to remember why you started breastfeeding in the first place and keep it in mind through the challenging times. Invest in a Quality Electric Breast Pump: An electric breast pump is important to keep up your milk supply and pump enough milk for your baby to have while you are at work. Look for a pump that optimizes cycle rate because they are more efficient and easier on your nipples. Double electric pumps, like the Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump, allow a mother to pump both breasts at the same time. Stock Up: If possible, you should start pumping and freezing your milk about a month before returning to work. It is important to store your milk in containers specially designed for breastmilk storage such as Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags and Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bottles-both BPA Free! Talk with Your Employer: It is important to talk to your employer about your pumping schedule and work out a designated area that is clean, sanitary and private where you can pump-and not in a bathroom if at all possible. If possible, have this conversation prior to leaving on maternity leave so you have one less thing to worry about when you return to work. Maintain a positive attitude about coming back to work so that your employer knows how much you value your job and want to be at work, but also continue to breastfeed. If you meet resistance from your employer, you can point out the many benefits of breastfeeding for the employer, such as reduced absenteeism because the baby is less likely to be sick because of breastmilk's protective benefits. Or you can use one of these great United States Breastfeeding Committee Publications to aid in your conversation. Myth: Breastfeeding shortchanges dad from bonding with the baby Fact: Sometimes dads of breastfed babies feel left out and worry that only the mother will bond with the baby. Non-feeding activities such as holding the baby, dressing, bathing and changing the baby are ideal for the dad of a breastfeeding baby so they can feel a close connection with the baby too. When a baby is extra fussy and breastfeeding does not seem to be the answer to baby's distress, there is nothing more welcoming than "daddy's touch". Myth: Prior to delivery, expecting mothers should rub rough terry cloths on their nipples to "toughen them up" Fact: Nipples do not need to be toughened up. This act can indeed cause nipple soreness as it can cause trauma on already tender, expanded skin. If anything, nipples need to remain supple. Lansinoh HPA Lanolin can be applied before delivery to help keep nipples soft and supple. If you have additional questions about breastfeeding, contact an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, or speak to your obstetrician or pediatrician. Ask The Experts Below are answers to some common questions about breastfeeding from Barbara Haney-Cocca, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and Gina Ciagne, Certified Lactation Counselor. What tips do I need to nurse twins/multiples? The main concern for moms of multiples who want to breastfeed is whether they will have enough milk. Fortunately, mothers who breastfeed twins, triplets and even more babies can most often produce enough milk for their infants, but it takes some planning and a lot of support. One important tip is to remember to look at each child as an individual. Sometimes one baby will be more efficient at getting more milk than another, perhaps due to the fact that one baby is a more mellow nurser or not as vigorous at getting milk. Allow this baby plenty of time at the breast and use breast compressions to push milk into the baby's mouth to remind them to suck and swallow when they are being "sleepy" at the breast. With multiples it is important to carefully track the babies' intake by watching weights and diaper counts. You will more than likely need to write this down to keep track. Multiples are often born early and may have challenges coordinating their sucking and swallowing. It is important to contact an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) to help you with these special circumstances. Why are my nipples still sore? What can I do? More often then not, sore nipples are caused by improper latch-on. If the baby does not open wide, he or she may be "slurping" in the nipple and this can be very painful. If the majority of nipple pain is at the beginning of the breastfeeding session and tends to be less painful as the feeding goes on, it is probably due to latch-on. For proper latch-on, the baby's chin should anchor on the breast about 1 inch from the nipple and then the top lip should pop over the nipple. In other words, get the lower lip as far from the nipple as possible because the common culprit of nipple pain is the baby's tongue thrusting on the nipple. The tongue and lower jaw should be as far from the nipple as possible with as wide a mouth as possible. If your nipples do become sore or cracked, Lansinoh™ HPA™ Lanolin can be applied to help soothe, heal, and protect sore cracked nipples. Lansinoh™ HPA™ Lanolin is ultra-pure, medical-grade lanolin, that contains no preservatives or allergenic components it does not have to be wiped off prior to breastfeeding. Please note that while Lansinoh™ HPA™ Lanolin will help soothe, heal and protect sore or cracked nipples, it is essential that you uncover the underlying cause of the soreness. If your nipples are still sore and you believe that your latch is correct, you should see a Lactation Consultant to rule out any other issues. How much can I exercise while breastfeeding? Exercise has not been found to affect a mother's milk supply and studies find that there is not an increase in lactic acid in breastmilk during moderate exercise. However, when exercising at maximum intensity there will be an increase in lactic acid for up to 90 minutes after terminating exercise. There have been no negative effects found for babies that take in increased lactic acid in breastmilk. Therefore, there is no reason to wait after exercising, even at maximum intensity, to breastfeed your baby. You may wish to breastfeed just prior to exercising for comfort purposes and to wear a supportive bra. If you find that you have an increased amount of blocked ducts, you may want to cut down on upper bodywork where arms move frequently (i.e weightlifting). You should also check to make sure your bra fits properly and is not compressing the breasts. Some babies may not like the taste of mother's sweat, so you may wish to take a shower after exercising and before feeding the baby. Can I take birth control pills while breastfeeding? Yes, you can take birth control pills while breastfeeding; however, you should use caution. Progesterone-only pills are called "the mini pill" and have the least effect on a woman's milk supply of all the hormone types of birth control. Although, most women do not have a problem with progesterone-only pills affecting their milk supply, there have been some women that are sensitive to any hormones and will produce significantly less milk while taking any hormones. If this is the case, talk to your doctor about finding an alternative form of birth control. As an alternative, birth control methods that do not have hormones like barrier methods or non-hormonal IUDs do not affect a mother's milk supply. Can I drink caffeine while breastfeeding? Most breastfeeding mothers can drink caffeine in moderation. Caffeine is approved for use in breastfeeding women by the American Academy of Pediatrics. However, you may find that your baby is fussy after you consume caffeine, and you may wish to avoid it. If this is the case, remember that most babies will outgrow this sensitivity to caffeine. What foods should I avoid eating while breastfeeding? Women breastfeed around the world, and they have varied diets. There are no foods that you absolutely need to avoid while breastfeeding unless you have a family history of food allergies and have been advised to avoid those foods by your healthcare provider. If you begin to notice that your baby is unhappy (including gassiness or crankiness) when you eat certain foods, you can try to find the culprit by eliminating those items from your diet one at a time to try to find the cause of the baby's discomfort. For instance, into his or her second month, your baby may start to show sensitivities to certain foods that you are eating. One of the biggest culprits to show up as a food sensitivity for breastfed babies is mother's consumption of cow's milk/dairy products. Because it takes a few weeks to eliminate dairy from your system, you will need to stop consuming dairy that includes cow's milk for a few weeks to really tell if it is the cause. Some babies show sensitivities to other foods besides dairy products including caffeine. Again, unless your doctor recommends avoiding certain foods, there is no reason to limit your diet while breastfeeding. What should I do if my baby bites me? Almost every baby will bite at least once and depending on the baby's age. There are steps you can take to gently let the baby know this can not continue. This is a learning experience for both you and the baby. Sometimes babies realize based on a strong reaction to a bite that this isn't a wise thing to do. This is a learning experience for you too because babies that are well latched-on cannot bite. Breastfeeding draws the tongue out past the baby's lower gum line. So, if they bite down "while" breastfeeding they would also be biting their tongue. Babies often experiment with biting when they are at the end of a breastfeeding session. Pay close attention to your baby and when they are just lying in your arms and not actively breastfeeding, gently detach them before they start teething on your nipple. If they try to teethe or bite, you can firmly say "no" and/or set them down at the appropriate place with a teething toy to make the point that breastfeeding isn't a time to teethe. If your baby has clamped down on your nipple, bring their face into your breast, smooshing their nose to your breast so that they will let go of your nipple instead of pulling their clamped jaw away from your nipple, which can cause soreness or pain. How can I deal with my leaking breasts? Some women leak all the time and others never leak. Contrary to a popular myth, the amount you leak is not indicative of how much milk you have. And just because you leak a lot in the beginning, it does not mean that you will continue to leak at that same rate throughout your breastfeeding experience. Some women leak less as their breastfeeding relationship goes on and as their bodies adjusts to making the amount of milk their babies needs. Other women continue to leak well into their breastfeeding journey. Whichever group you fall into, there are solutions! Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads are soft, discreet and highly absorbent. If you do not wish to wear nursing pads, you can also put gentle pressure with the inside of your forearms on to your nipples as this will help stop the leaking. Why does my baby suddenly want to breastfeed constantly? It is absolutely normal if your baby wants to nurse every couple of hours or even more frequently because breastmilk is easier to digest than formula. Babies will often increase their frequency of feedings (called "cluster feeding") because of a growth spurt, usually around six weeks and then again at three, six and nine months of age. Babies do not follow set rules when it comes to breastfeeding. In fact, breastfeeding is less a science and more of an art. Babies can also "cluster feed" because they are getting ready to begin to sleep for longer periods of time and they may need many little meals in a row to help them have that long stretch of sleep. These very frequent feedings do not necessarily signal that this is going to be the new rule in how your baby breastfeeds because it could all change tomorrow. And, a baby that feeds very frequently or cluster feeds does not automatically signal that you do not have enough milk-sometimes babies want to have the extra feeds for the reasons we already mentioned and it is very normal. Most often, as babies grow and their stomachs increase in size, the length between feeding sessions lengthens. There are no rules to breastfeeding, except to listen to your baby. What is Mastitis? Mastitis is the word used to describe an infected blocked milk duct. It is a condition that is quite uncomfortable for the nursing mother, but it does not need to signal the end of breastfeeding. You will likely have a hot red area on your breast at the site of the infection and have a fever. If you do have mastitis, it is important to continue emptying the infected breast (and not neglecting the other side) by increasing the frequency of breastfeeding on that side or by pumping. Mastitis will not harm the baby, and the baby can be very helpful in relieving any fullness the mom may be experiencing. It is also important to call your doctor or healthcare provider as the standard method of treatment is to put the mother on antibiotics. How do I donate my milk? This is a wonderful act of giving for you to consider. Ideally, breastmilk comes from a baby's own mother. But if a baby has special needs, such as intolerance to formula, severe allergies, is failing to thrive on formula, is premature or has other health problems, he or she may need donated human milk not only for health, but also for survival. There are very specific steps one would take for donating their breastmilk and more information can be found at the Human Milk Bank Association of North America website. What tips do you have to keep up milk supply after I go to work or school? Keeping up one's milk supply is a common concern for a mom who is returning to work or school after maternity leave. In order to keep up your supply, it will be important for you to pump your milk regularly when you are apart so you can leave behind your expressed milk and keep up your supply. There are several methods for expressing one's milk including hand expression or using a breast pump. If you are returning to work or school and will regularly be apart from your baby for hours at a time, it is important to use a high-quality and high-powered double electric breast pump like the Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump. Many moms find it best to mimic the baby's feeding schedule when pumping. In order to express enough milk for you to leave for your baby and in order to maintain your milk supply, it is important to pump at least every 3-4 hours that you are away from your baby. Try not to go too long between pumping sessions as this can lead to discomfort from overfull breasts and a signal to your body that it does not need to make as much milk. Using a double electric pump allows a mom to pump both breasts at the same time, which can be important with a set amount of time for pumping. When you and your baby are together, breastfeed as often as you can and provide lots of skin-to-skin time. Remember that the baby is most efficient at getting milk out of your breasts and "empty" breasts make more milk. If you are concerned at all about keeping up your supply, or you are experiencing a drop in your supply after you are back at work or school, don't forget that there are people who are available to help you. You can find a local International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) or get in touch with a local La Leche League International Leader who can offer helpful tips in keeping up your supply. Because milk making involves your brain, it is much easier to keep your milk supply up by feeding your baby from the breast as opposed to pumping. But once your body gets used to the pumping process, it will often adjust and you will be able to pump milk to leave when you and your baby are apart. Some moms find that thinking of their baby, looking at a picture of the baby or calling their childcare provider to check in can be very helpful in getting their milk to let down. You can also bring one of your baby's blankets as a reminder of your baby's sweet smell. About Lansinoh The Lansinoh family started over 25 years ago with a breastfeeding mom creating her own pure lanolin nipple cream when no other could be found. Today, their breastfeeding and baby supplies are still made by moms, for moms and they put thought, care and practicality into all of their products. When moms choose to breastfeed, Lansinoh believe they should have the support and encouragement they need to experience all of its benefits, and ensure baby feels the same. They'll always take their mothers seriously and their needs personally, creating high-quality products moms want and can trust as they nurture their babies and develop a special bond only formed in motherhood. That's the Lansinoh promise. They're always there for you at lansinoh.com

A Utah man is battling city council to keep his lovely pets - more than two dozen boa constrictors
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah snake collector who says his rare boa constrictors are getting a bad rap has won at least a temporary reprieve from the Cottonwood Heights City Council after he had been ordered to remove more than two dozen of the exotic pets from his home.
Police cited Thomas Cobb a week ago for failure to have an exotic pet permit and told him he had until Friday to get rid of all but one of his 29 boa constrictors.
Cobb values the snakes at $12,000 apiece and said he spent $100,000 on a special room in his basement with top-of-the-line cages. Some of the snakes are as long as 7 feet. Police officers noted in their report the setup was clean and well-kept.
The council agreed on Friday to look into the case further after Cobb argued the ordinance is confusing at best. He'd gotten the attention of the council and the mayor after he took his fight against the snake eviction to the Internet and local radio shows. He maintains he's the victim in part of the public's distaste for snakes in general.
"We see movies, we see 'Snakes on a Plane,' we see 'Anaconda,' we see these movies where snakes are portrayed as monsters and can eat school buses, and that is not the case," he told The Deseret News.
Cobb praised the council for having an open mind.
"I am pleased to find that they are at least willing to take and investigate further rather than make assumptions and going off on maybe their personal belief on snakes and maybe the reptile hobby keeping in general," he said.
Cottonwood Heights police Sgt. Dan Bartlett said a neighbor spotted one of the snakes and called police to Cobb's home last week. He said officers also found 80 rats for feeding the snakes. He said they cited Cobb for failing to have the permit required when anyone owns more than one exotic pet.
Cobb disputes that interpretation of the local ordinance. He maintains he needs to show only that he can properly care for his pet, that they do not pose a danger to the public and that he has knowledge of the animal. He believes he passes all those requirements.
"They continue to tell me with an exotic permit you are only allowed one animal, which is not true. The ordinance itself is very ambiguous and it needs to be gone through more thoroughly," he said.
Among other things, Cobb said the ordinance is flawed because it defines an exotic pet simply as one not indigenous to the lower 48 states.
"Technically, any individual who owns a gerbil, anyone who owns a hamster, anyone who owns a chameleon, anyone who owns a red-bellied toad, anyone who owns a guinea pig, technically is going against the ordinance of the exotic animal permit," he said.
Cobb is scheduled to meet again with the council on May 7. He said he has invited all of the council members to his house to see the snakes firsthand, but as of Friday no one had taken him up on the offer. He said he's gotten a mixed reaction from local residents.
"A lot of people are like, 'Oh that's amazing,'" he said. "But then there's that other end of the spectrum where people almost give you that judgmental look of, 'Oh, you're the snake guy.'"

The Emery County Community Theatre will present Oliver Twist this Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a matinee performance on Saturday at 2 p.m.
"Please sir, can I have some more?"...a most memorable line from "Oliver," a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist."
Emery County Community Theatre has worked hard the last several months to put together this appealing show for you.
Travis Fehlberg plays the part of Oliver, a boy who is orphaned and left at a workhouse in 19th century England. The workhouse is run by Widow Corney and Mr. Bumble (Janet and Edward Geary). They are mean, have no interest whatsoever in the boys, and only feed them thin gruel. When Oliver dares to ask for more, he is sold to the Sowerberry's (Wayne Roberts and Jan Hansen), the undertakers of the town. There's a fight and Oliver escapes.
The Artful Dodger (Davy Higbee) offers to help Oliver. Dodger takes him to meet Fagin (Tyrell Clement) who teaches Oliver to be a pickpocket. While with Fagin, Oliver meets sweet Nancy and evil Bill Sykes (Dolly and Elden Stephens), who ultimately change his life forever.
The show is filled with great songs like "Food Glorious Food, "Pick A Pocket", "Consider Yourselves", and the beautiful ballad "As Long As He Needs Me". The extremely talented cast is directed by Vickie Kinder and Gina Sitterud. Come and see if Oliver finds the one thing in life that we all want to have...the love of a family. The show runs March 10, 11, and 12 at 7 p.m. with a matinee on Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 per person with children 3 and under free. "We can't wait to present this play to the community," said cast members.

Worth the Money!
"I was a teenager when Skechers first came out and I remember buying my first pair due to the affordability and style they offer. I soon grew out of it as I became unhappy with their new branding as time went on. Today as a grown man, these pair of Skechers that I have purchased had reminded me why I use to wear them when I was younger. I am pleased to say that the simple style and affordability once again caught my attention. My day job requires me to put a significant amount of miles in my work shoes and so far each pair of semi-causal shoes I had worn for work seam to have never lasted for an entire year. Usually I have to replace the insole cushion with an aftermarket one for personal comfort, but these pair of Skechers were the most comfortable pair of work shoes I've ever tried on right out of the box. I wear them as is and I am pleased on how they feel and look. This pair is worth every penny especially for a steel toe work shoe."

The Brookfield Central girls basketball team started Friday night's Greater Metro Conference opener with a three-pointer, and it was a sign of things to come in the Lancers' 51-42 victory over Menomonee Falls.
Sophomore guard Emma Brauer gave the Lancers an early 3-0 lead over the visiting Indians, and junior guard and captain Lydia Rohde followed with four first-half triples to give the Lancers a 26-19 halftime lead.
"Lydia is a big, strong athletic kid with a great stroke," Brookfield Central head coach Dan Wandrey said. "She's such an unselfish player that sometimes it's hard to get her to be that assertive offensively. But you saw what she can do."
The Indians remained competitive, pulling within four in the second half, but the Lancers remained in control and held a lead that grew as large as 11 on the night. A competitive contest was expected after the teams finished third and fourth in the conference last season and split their head-to-head matchups.
"We had a slow start, but we fought hard and got back, we got it into within four," Menomonee Falls head coach Craig Amundson said. "We threw every defense we had them. Rohde was pretty good tonight."
At several moments in the second half, the Indians appeared ready to make a run, but turnovers or big plays on Central's side stymied their rallies.
"We fought really hard," Amundson said. "That's why we really weren't terribly disappointed with the effort. It's not like our kids weren't trying. We worked really hard right until the end. But the feeling I got was, we just couldn't get over that hump."
Wandrey offered a similar analysis.
"I'm kind of a doomsday guy," he said. "It felt like it was at 42-38 for a really long time, and they just couldn't get over that hump. I was thinking if they make a couple of plays, we could be in trouble, but our kids were on the floor, we were diving, and we just made the difference in hustle points."
The Lancers, who improved to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the Greater Metro, visit Slinger for their first road test of the season on Tuesday night, while the Indians (2-2, 0-1) will try to bounce back at Wauwatosa East.
Looking ahead, Amundson said it wouldn't get any easier for the Indians.
"This is the toughest schedule I've had in my 16 years as the varsity coach, and that includes conference and our non-conference schedule," he said. "Brookfield Central is good. There's never going to be an easy game all year. If we look too far ahead in the schedule, you might get a stomachache. All we can do is focus on our mistakes and try to correct them in practice and work on improving. And we have been improving."
Wandrey said the conference opener was a statement game for the Lancers and singled out the play of Rohde, who finished with 21 points, and junior forward Jasmine Lewis, who helped defend the Indians senior standout center Erin Crownover on the interior.
"We have sometimes struggled over the last few years with our consistency and intensity, and I don't think we had that at all tonight. Jasmine is great. She's an undersized inside player, maybe a slow-footed outside player, but whatever deficiencies she has, she makes up for it in hustle."
Wandrey added a quality win early in the season could provide a boost of confidence for a team still trying to find itself.
"Last year there was this separation in our league and we were right in the middle," he said. "We didn't compete with the top teams; we just handled the weaker ones. We've been talking about our identity, and I think this tells us we can compete with those teams at the top of the conference."

Ferreri, 25 pounds lighter after heart surgery, bested a younger Councilman Jim Oddo at an impromptu push-up match during a press conference on the upcoming health and wellness expo.
"I wouldn't have been able to do that six months ago," said Ferreri afterward.
The president and CEO of SIUH said the emphasis at this year's fourth annual expo -- on Sept. 27 -- will be on wellness, prevention and quality of life, along with a focus on keeping Islanders out of the hospital.
He noted that successful anti-smoking campaigns here have resulted in the borough losing its rank as first among smokers in the city to fifth.
Still, the Island ranks No. 1 in obesity, diabetes and heart and lung disease, Ferreri said at a press event announcing the expo at SIUH's Regina M. McGinn Educational Center at the hospital's Ocean Breeze campus.
SIUH is teaming with the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation and Oddo to put on the day-long health expo at the Hilton Garden Inn, Bloomfield, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Seminars and workshops on a host of health-related issues will be offered, including: Diet and exercise; eye care; living with dementia and substance abuse. There will be a discussion on the Affordable Care Act, as well as multiple demonstrations and screenings.
Oddo (R-Mid-Island), who kicked in $50,000 in Council monies to help underwrite the event, said, "Living a healthy lifestyle is an individual act. You have to want it. But it can be a team effort and we can help each other."
He noted that while the expo might be difficult for some Islanders who work to attend, family and friends who do go should spread the word.
Free bus transportation to and from the event will be offered at the following locations, with a schedule of pick-up and drop-off times to be released later: 812 Forest Ave., West Brighton; 307 Sand Lane, South Beach; 252 Port Richmond Ave.; SIUH North at 242 Mason Ave., Ocean Breeze, and SIUH South at 375 Seguine Ave., Prince's Bay.

Salt Snake is a Land Speed Racing motorcycle Streamliner.
Salt Snake is a Land Speed Racing motorcycle Streamliner. The Team Bullett streamliner is called "The Salt Snake" because of its unique design compared to other streamliners. Because "The Salt Snake" is less than 1" off the ground, spectators compare the streamliner to a snake slithering down the Bonneville Salt Flats at lightening speeds.

Besides stocking your pantry with the best snacks in the neighborhood, how can you make your house the hot summertime hangout where all the kids want to come play? Hint: It's not the newest movies or video games — everybody's already got those. The secret to summertime fun is outdoor play gear that makes kids want to get outside and play hard. We've rounded up some timeless favorites that will keep your kids (and your house) hopping.
Things for your backyard
One of the best ways to attract a swarm of children is to invest in outdoor play equipment — think playground gear— they'll all want to use together. A swingset is the classic choice for the younger crowd; if your goal is to attract playmates, make sure you get one with enough activities for several children at once. Trampolines are another favorite choice for active fun that gives kids a real workout. Assembly can be tricky; we recommend watching several demonstration videos on the internet before you give it a go yourself.
If you have a strong tree or other safe location to hang it from, a Round-and-Round swing thrills kids who love to spin. Its tight weave and smaller size make it a great choice for younger children too, who enjoy sitting all sorts of different ways without fearing they'll fall through.
Things that help keep kids cool
Outdoor play in the summertime invariably means water. Keep kids cool for hours with a water slide. Whether you choose a simple slide that connects to your garden hose or a gigantic inflatable slide kids can go barreling down, there's a fit for every backyard. On a smaller scale, fight the summer heat with water toys including water guns, funny sprinklers and sprayers — and of course the ubiquitous kiddie pool (don't forget a brigade of buckets, boats and other tools to pour and squirt with).
Things to move out on
It would be hard to buy enough bicycles for the whole gang, but you can stock up on other things to get kids moving. Kids who haven't quite mastered bicycle riding but still feel the need for speed will enjoy cranking up the Ezy Roller ride-on; big kids will still have fun speeding along at ground level, too. Other get-'em-moving classics include pogo sticks and rollerblades.
Here's a neat little add-on we love: a Chalktrail for the back of your child's bike. Kids can scribe patterns on the streets and sidewalks and chart complex trails for follow the leader and scavenger hunts.
Things that are simply awesome
You're never too old to play with bubbles. A bubble blower or set of wands turns any afternoon into an instant party. And be sure you have the classics on hand: jump ropes large enough for a group, plus a full selection of play balls and sports balls.
Our all-time favorite toy for outdoor play has to be The Great Big Outdoor Playball. As long as you have a good amount of space in your backyard, no kid will be able to resist the urge to push, kick, run, chase, and even climb inside the GBOP. Don't forget an electric pump for easy inflation!

After work, I was supposed to go to a painting party with my bestie tonight. It was like a painting class with wine and hors d'oeuvres that sounded really fun. We have been looking forward to it for a month. I was very disappointed when I had to bail on her tonight. I haven't been sleeping well this week and I am exhausted. Being slammed at work is not helping with that, and I just need a good night's sleep.
On top of that, I am incredibly worried about my dog, and I did not want to leave her alone tonight. My sweet girl is almost 17 years old. No, that was not a typo. I said SEVENTEEN. Crazy, right? She is a mix between a black lab and a collie or chow (we think). She pretty much looks like a wolf when her hair is short and a bear when it is grown out. She has been with me since high school and been through everything with me since then (and there has been a lot!). She used to go to work with me every day when I was a nanny after college, and the kids loved her. She's independent, loving, sweet, and an all around awesome dog. I've taken her with me from state to state over the past several years as I completed my doctorate, internship, and post-doc. It has always been the two of us taking on the world together. She has shown signs of getting older over the last 4 years or so such as arthritis, graying hair, cataracts, and urinary problems, but she has always kept on kickin'. At her last vet appointment in July, the doctor told me she had the "blood work of a two year old" and was doing well. My girl is a trooper.
|C when she was younger ...
|C last week ...
I have know that this time was coming, but I don't think it ever seemed real until last night. She has been such a big part of my life, and it is hard to wrap my head around the idea of not having her with me. I have said all along that I would not consider putting her to sleep unless I knew there was something wrong with her and she was suffering. I am afraid that time may be coming sooner than I realized. I have never lost a pet before, so this is all very new to me. It is scary and heart wrenching, but there is also a hope of peace for her that I know she has not had recently. It is almost like she waited for us to move home before she decided she was ready to go ... like she waited to see me settled and grounded ... like she knows she doesn't need to take care of me anymore.
So, that is where I am tonight, and that is why I decided to stay home rather than go with my friend to paint. I am not sure why I shared all of that here, but it seemed like the thing to do. Thank you for giving me space to share my life, both the good and the not so good, with you. I am so grateful to be able to do so here. I will keep you posted about what happens. Please keep my sweet girl in your thoughts and prayers.
Needless to say, I wanted to make something quick and easy tonight. Quick and easy is a necessity for all of us sometimes! I opted for a recipe I found for a Vegan Corn Salad Sandwich on The Vegan Stoner website. I made several changes to the original recipe to make it to my liking. After playing around with it a little bit, I was very happy with the results. Before I started my healthy lifestyle change, I used to love egg salad, chicken salad, tuna salad ... pretty much all sandwich type salads. Since I am not eating those things anymore, this recipe is the perfect addition to my arsenal when I have cravings for a good salad sandwich! Plus, it makes enough for 4-6 sandwiches, so I will be able to slap together some easy lunches to take to work for the rest of the week. Perfect!
Corn Salad Sandwich
- 1 block soft tofu
- 1 can organic canned corn
- 3 large handfuls of spinach, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons Vegenaise
- 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1-2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- sprouted grain bread (or your favorite!)
2. Add nutritional yeast, garlic powder sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Spoon salad onto a slice of bread and top with another piece. Cut in half.
4. Serve and enjoy!!!
Well, that is all from me for the night, friends. I am going to try and get to bed early as planned and have my fingers crossed for some good sleep tonight! I hope that you each have a wonderful day tomorrow and keep on rocking on your own journey! Until next time, dear Gnawers ... take very good care of you.

ConvergEx strategist Nicholas Colas makes the observation in his Thursday client note that the CBOE Volatility Index could just as easily be called the "pain index":
One of the quirky things about how the VIX trades is its periodic torpor, followed by times when markets can't seem to get enough risk protection. Look at the mid 1990s, or the mid 2000s for signs of the sleepwalking version of the VIX, and the 2008-2011period for the Red Bull and vodka edition. That's the asymmetric nature of pain perception at work. It's not like the mid 1990s or 2000s were entirely smooth sailing – there were jolts aplenty. It's just that there weren't cataclysmic events like the Financial Crisis or the terror attacks of 9/11 or the dot com bubble bursting.
Thursday's selloff brought a rare gain for the index, which ended 10% higher — at 13.91. The index's long-term average is about 20.
iPath S&P VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) finished the session with a 3.5% rise and the leveraged ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) gained 7.2%.
Trading tools that tend to benefit from a lack of volatility, but get hurt on rougher days, fell. ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) and VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short-Term ETN (XIV) each dropped by 3.5%.

Yes, very good work. And as somebody said, the grays are great. But your colouring... it's hard to say because it's your first works.
But if you really want some tips... so the picture with Madara in that lovely mask is too dark. It should be coloured like if it was on day. And that grass is too greeny and needs some shading.

Lives Of The Attic Orators: Texts From Pseudo-Plutarch, Photius, and The Suda Introduction and Commentary by Joseph Roisman & Ian Worthington. Translation by Robin Waterfield (Oxford University Press 2015). Assessing these works as important historical sources for the individual lives and careers of the orators whose works have survived, this systematic study explores how these literary biographies were constructed, the information they provide, and their veracity. In-depth commentary notes offer contextual information, explain references, and examine individual rhetorical phrases, and a glossary of technical terms provides a quick reference guide to the more obscure oratorial and political terms. The volume also includes a detailed introduction which discusses the evolution of Greek oratory and rhetoric; the so-called Canon of the Ten Orators; the authorship, dates and sources of the biographies provided by Pseudo-Plutarch, Photius, and the Suda; and a brief consideration of orators whose speeches were either falsely attributed to Demosthenes or may be referenced in ancient lives.
Alexander's Veterans and the Early Wars of the Successors (University of Texas Press 2012). This pathfinding book offers the first in-depth investigation of the Macedonian veterans' experience during a crucial turning point in Greek History (323-316 BCE). Joseph Roisman discusses the military, social, and political circumstances that shaped the history of Alexander's veterans, giving special attention to issues such as the soldier's conduct on and off the battlefield, the army assemblies, the volatile relationship between the troops and their generals, and other related themes, all from the perspective of the rank and file. Roisman also reexamines the biases of the ancient sources and how they affected ancient and modern depictions of Alexander's veterans, as well as Alexander's conflicts with his army, the veterans' motives and goals, and their political contributions to Hellenistic history. He pays special attention to the Silver Shields, a group of Macedonian veterans famous for their invincibility and martial prowess, and assesses whether or not they deserved their formidable reputation.
Ancient Greece from Homer to Alexander, with J.C. Yardley translations, (Wiley Blackwell 2011). Incorporating fresh new translations of original Greek and Roman texts and drawing on a range of sources, including artistic evidence, this sourcebook provides an inclusive and integrated view of Greek history, from Homer to Alexander the Great. Linking political, military, and social history of the Greeks to their intellectual accomplishments, the book offers a full and integrated perspective on the period. It puts the reader in touch with the raw material of ancient history and analyzes the importance of this evidence through extensive introductions and explanatory notes. An accompanying website offers additional evidence as well as links to useful online resources.
A Companion to Ancient Macedonia (Editor with Ian Worthington, Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
A Companion to Ancient Macedonia - the first of its kind - examines the political, military, social, economic, and cultural history of ancient Macedonia from the Archaic period to the end of Roman domination and beyond. Material culture, such as art, architecture, and archaeology, is also explored.
Written in a lively and accessible style, the companion includes specially commissioned chapters by leading and up-and-coming scholars, and features suggestions for further reading. This comprehensive, up-to-date collection of essays provides a rich resource for students and scholars of ancient Macedonia.
The Rhetoric of Conspiracy in Ancient Athens (University of California Press, 2006)
The Attic orators, whose works are an invaluable source on the social and political history of Classical Athens, often filled their speeches with charges of conspiracy involving almost every facet of Athenian life. There are allegations of plots against men's lives, property, careers, and reputations as well as charges of conspiracy against the public interest, the government, the management of foreign affairs, and more. Until now, however, this obsession with conspiracy has received little scholarly attention. In order to develop the first full picture of this important feature of Athenian discourse, Joseph Roisman examines the range and nature of the conspiracy charges. He asks why they were so popular, and considers their rhetorical, cultural, and psychological significance. He also investigates the historical likelihood of the scenarios advanced for these plots, and asks what their prevalence suggests about the Athenians and their worldview. He concludes by comparing ancient and modern conspiracy theories. In addition to shedding new light on Athenian history and culture, his study provides an invaluable perspective on the use of conspiracy as a rhetorical ploy.
The Rhetoric of Manhood: Masculinity in the Attic Orators (University of California Press, 2005)
The concept of manhood was immensely important in ancient Athens, shaping its political, social, legal, and value systems. This book, a groundbreaking study of manhood in fourth century Athens, is the first to provide a comprehensive examination of notions about masculinity found in the Attic orators, who represent one of the single most imortant sources for understanding the social history of this period. Whereas previous studies have assumed a uniform ideology about manhood, Roisman finds that Athenians had quite varied opions about what consistitued manly value and conduct. Roisman situates the evidence for ideas about manhood found in the Attic orators in historical, ideological, and theorecticl contexts to explore various manifestations of Athenian masculinity as well as the rhetoric that both articulated and questioned it.
Roisman illusminates masculine notions, activities, and discourse by focusing on topics such as the nexus between manhood and age; Athenian men in their roles as family members, friends, and lovers; the concept of masculine shame; relations between social and economic status and manhood; manhood in the military and politics; the manly virture of self-control; and what men feared. Throughout, he considers both the variety of forms of Athenian manhood as well as the challenges men faced in achieving masculine archetypes.
Brill's Companion to Alexander the Great (Editor, Brill, 2003)
This book acquaints us with important issues surrounding Alexander the Great's conquest and their current interpretations, and opens up new directions of investigation as it confronts them. It covers a broad range of topics: the ancients' representatins of the king in literature and art; Alexander's relations with Greeks, Macedonians, and the peoples of Asia; the military, political, sociological, and cultural aspects of his campaigns; the exploitation of his story by ancient philosophers to argue a moral point and by modern communities to affirm or contest ethnic and national identities. This volume is of interst to scholars and nonspecialists alike.
Alexander the Great: Ancient and Modern Perspectives (Editor, Heath, 1995)
Using biographical and historical approaches, this book comprises documents and essays pertinent to the main problems surrounding Alexander's career.
The book contains eight parts that discuss the sources on Alexander, the the Macedonian state and the death of his father Philip II, Alexander's relationship with the Greeks, his aims, Alexander's army and the Battle of Issus, his relationship with his Macedonian generals, Alexander's divinity, and his policy of integrating victors and vanquished.
The General Demonsthenes and his Use of Military Surprise (Franz Steiner, 1993)
The Athenian general Demosthenes, who was active in the Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta has been described as "the greatest of Athenians soldier generals of the war." This study asks whether Demonsthenes deserved this and similar accolades that have characterized much of the modern studies of him. It also examined his innovative surprise tactics but wonders how effective they really were.
