The middle child of Inov-8's Trailroc series, the Trailroc 245 offers a low profile ride while retaining protective characteristics of a more rugged trail shoe.
The 245 is the intermediate option within Inov-8's Trailroc series, sitting in between the Trailroc 235 and 255. We found the 245 to be an excellent middle of the road option for the trail runner looking for a versatile, low profile shoe that still offers protection from trail hazards.
Our testers found the 3mm heel-to-toe differential to hit a sweet spot, giving the shoe a low and close to the ground feel without putting the runner in a leg-straining zero drop option. The 245 also differs from the more minimal 235 through its inclusion of a Meta-Shank plate under the midfoot, protecting the runner from sharp rocks, a welcome feature especially when negotiating more technical and hazardous trails.
The Trailroc series is built on Inov-8's new Anatomic last, offering a wider forefoot for increased toe splay as the runner progresses from touchdown to toe-off. For those of us used to a snugger, performance fit, the wider fit of the Trailrocs took a few runs to get used to. Once acclimated, however, we found the fit to allow for a greater feel for the trail as well as increased traction due to the amount of outsole surface area underfoot.
We were happy with the traction offered by the Trailroc series' moderately aggressive outsole. The smaller lugs worked well over a variety of terrain, but impressed us most over hard-packed singletrack and over loose rock, great for runners in drier conditions. The use of three purpose-specific rubbers on the outsole also worked to improve grip in most conditions while adding durability; our testers noticed very little wear even after several runs over unforgiving, shoe-eating terrain.
Great compromise of protection and low profile in the Trailroc 245. I liked the low feel of the shoe without having my feet chewed up by rockier and more hazardous trails.
The traction is my favorite aspect of the Trailrocs. I didn't notice any slippage over a variety of terrain, giving me the confidence to just cruise over the trails.
The Trailrocs are definitely trail specific shoes; the platform is just too firm to be doing any running on the road in these.

Temptation Island

Hide lines
Unlike Railay, parts of Koh Phi Phi were absolutely obliterated by the waves, and hundreds of people died here. There is reconstruction going on all around but despite this, huge areas by the waterfront are still vacant and waiting for developers to sink their hungry teeth into. For once politicking may be working out for the general and environmental good.
When I arrived I could hardly recognise the place - everything within 50 metres of the west beach, both left and right of the jetty area, is gone. The large tree used to mark a junction of pathways, one that lead from the jetty to the west beach and that was flanked on both sides by shops. The other was very pretty - a white sand path running along the top of the west beach. On the beach side of the path, nice trees, shrubs and the occasional tiny beach bar provided shade and divided the beach from the cafes, restaurants and bungalow receptions that ran along the other, right out to the Sunflower bar area. My recollections of the effect was as if walking through a green and very mellow cave, with a nice sandy floor. Unfortunately most of it was reclaimed by the sea...
The series of pictures above mark the approximate location of the beach bungalows Ains and I stayed in on the last visit - where not even a stilt pole still stands. Many of the coconut palms have been severed. It must have been an awesomely powerful set of waves.
Still, both locals and tourists here now seem happy. It's coming into high season and the crowds are already about to lend support to the island. There's a good growth and progress vibe which is infectious and helps deal with the little inconveniences that one comes up against on a regular basis, like walking through construction zones pretty well wherever you go.
I came in on the morning ferry (9.30am) from Krabi after another taste of the boating mafia that seems to have gripped the area. Because of it I ended up doing a circular journey from Tonsai to Ao Nang, then bus to Krabi, only to sail by Ao Nang again an hour and 200 baht poorer. The upside was I ran into Curtis, Canadian rock climber extraordinaire, on the ferry heading to the island. He was off to see the gang from the Perhentians, so I would get to catch up with them again after all.
Within an hour of arrival we'd met up and I was checked into a fantastic large bungalow at Tropical Gardens. Although a long way up the hill, the ambience and facilities were second to none at the 400 baht/night price point, only 100 additional on very basic rooms less than 50 metres away). With a pool, queen sized beds, designer bath, great music, friendly staff and an excellent variety of plants and wildlife in the garden, I highly recommend it (you'll love it Anna).
Later that afternoon I felt better than I had in days, so decided to help out with some volunteer work, hauling seedlings about the place in preparation for planting. It was good to contribute and the locals certainly appreciated it, giving us little Longang fruits and smiles all round for our toils. A lot of sun, sweat and mosquito bites later I retired for some dinner, and not long after that the combination of heat and light meals in recent days hit me, I went feverish and slept for about twelve hours straight. I obviously wasn't quite over the illness that had beset me in Railay.
So despite catching up with some great people, including kiwi Lindsay, the first two days I ended up laying very low, still recovering from the dreaded Tonsai Squirts (see below). In hindsight this was fortunate as it saved me from a lot of heavy drinking, but it also got in the way of a few activities I would have liked to do.
I was just so lethargic that I missed out on some good climbing and camping on Phi Phi Lei, the smaller island on which most of the movie "The Beach" was filmed. Enjoying the excellent food, long boat rides to explore more of the island and further volunteer work was also out. Experiencing the nightlife with some restrained partying only happened on the last evening.
What I did get around to included climbing to the Viewpoint, a twenty minute hike up a steep hill for the sunset, which was very nice indeed - although a little sobering when you saw the memorial plaque for a Brit called James Hurren lost to the wave. Another day saw Scottish Liam and I on a snorkelling mission to Shark Point on Long Beach - also good excepting the less than 1 metre visibility. You win some, you lose some.
We did also get out diving around Phi Phi Lei on the last day, which was a nice way to end the visit. Two morning dives took us to a couple of lovely dive sites, one of which was inside the famous lagoon harbour from The Beach as mentioned above. Unfortunately there were hordes of boats inside little Maya Bay and the water quite polluted with oil and litter.
The dive sites themselves were very pleasant, Maya having some great swim-throughs and drift currents to cruise on, although both lacked an abundance of fish life that characterised sites in Indonesia and Malaysia. Still, we saw Leopard sharks, Blue tipped manta rays (very cool), Moray eels, a sea snake and some varieties of tropical fish that I hadn't seen in more southern waters. In all it was just good to get into some diving after a few weeks off.
Well, that's about it. Even writing has been difficult in the past week, so (as usual) please excuse any typos or slack grammar that my lazy editor forgets to pick up. Thanks again to the Perhentian crew - especially Liam, Dawn, Sochelle and Curtis for some more good times and a special thank you to Bou, that was a cranking massage that made me feel human again. Love ya work!
Next entry -> a quickie on Phuket
Lucky me travel affliction of the week
You've heard a little about my first real sickness of the journey, so here are some more gory details. It had to happen sometime, you can't travel in Asia for too long with succumbing to a bad case of the trots, for me what I'd call a severe dose of the Tonsai Squirts*.
It hit fast, explosively and got worse over the first few days. I didn't throw up - it was all one way traffic downwards - but the stomach cramps and diahorrea were first class and it took a few days to feel half human again. General lethargy was the order of the day until I got too keen to do something (the volunteer work) and then the affliction returned with a vengeance, just to punish my sorry ass. It's now more than a week later and I'm still feeling the tail end (pun intended) of it.
I blame the Andaman Resort restaurant, but a number of friends became quite ill eating elsewhere during their stay on Tonsai, so it seems to be one of those sacrifices you have to make to get away from the more commercial areas. Lack of electricity and water makes cleaning things difficult which ends up knocking the visitors around.
Beware if you visit, but it is a great place and in the end there's nothing much you can really do to avoid it.
* Probably not a real illness name, but please see a doctor if symptoms persist.

Man took body, casket and planned to resurrect father through prayer.
DETROIT -- Police on Tuesday found the body of a 93-year-old man stolen by his son from a cemetery with plans to resurrect him through prayer.
The body of Clarence Bright, which was stolen along with the casket on Monday, was found stuffed in a new freezer in the 48-year-old son's basement, according to a Detroit police source.
The younger man reportedly told family members that he stole his father's body from Gethsemane Cemetery on the city's east side early Monday to resurrect him through prayer, the source said.
The man's funeral was Saturday, but his body was being held in the cemetery's mausoleum because the ground was too wet for burial, according to investigators.
Witnesses saw a white van pull up outside the mausoleum just before the man and his casket went missing Monday.
A woman who identified herself as the office manager of Gethsemane Cemetery told the Free Press Monday that she could not comment.
Investigators searched the son's home Monday but did not find the man nor the missing body and casket. The new freezer was empty in the backyard Monday, the source said.
Early Tuesday, a Detroit Police officer on patrol spotted the van at a gas station on the city's east side, with the son and another man inside, along with the empty casket. The men were taken into custody.
When police returned to the man's home, they found the body, Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens said.

Did You Know? Countdown to Days of the Dead 2009 (10/31)Saturday, October 31st, 2009
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore About Mexico's
Days of the Dead
(Los Dias De Los Muertos)
Oct 31 : DOD celebrations begin tonight
Did you know that calacas, handmade skeleton figurines, are a typical decoration in Mexico during the Day of the Dead?
Calacas usually show an active and joyful afterlife and traditionally feature generals on horseback, brides and grooms on their honeymoon, and musicians.
Los Dias de los Muertos (Days of the Dead), is a traditional Mexican holiday honoring the dead. It is celebrated every year at the same time as Halloween and the Christian holy days of All Saints Day and All Souls Day (November 1st and 2nd). Unlike the modern-day interpretation of Halloween, Los Dias de los Muertos is neither morbid nor gloomy but rather a festive remembrance of those who have departed.
Los Dias de los Muertos, which is celebrated between October 31st and November 2nd, can also be referred to as (the singular) El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Color is off
"I had been looking for some strappy dark brown heels for over a year, thought I had found them with these. While beautiful and comfy, they are not as dark as they appear in the pictures. More of a grayish brown and the side straps are different colored than the main strap. Other than being disappointed with the color, these are a great dressy sandal."

The San Rafael Junior High P.E. classes went to Millsite Golf Course recently to try their luck at golf. Coach Kirk Robinson arranged for the students to have this opportunity at the course.
For many of the young golfers this was their first time on the golf course. The ninth grade P.E. classes involving 40 students practiced at the school with practice balls before their trip to the course. They go to Millsite every spring and every fall to learn the game.
The P.E. program wants to encourage the students to develop skills in sports which they can engage in throughout their lives.
Golfing is a sport which can be enjoyed by all age groups.
The students learned a bit about the rules of golf. As important as the rules is golf etiquette. Golf has its own set of rules for what is considered proper behavior on the golf course and what isn't.
In addition to learning proper use of the golf clubs, the students learned that walking a golf course can be good exercise.
Especially if you carry your golf clubs between holes instead of relying on a golf cart. In order to drive a golf cart at the course you must be 16 so the junior high age students walked the course and had a shotgun start.
The P.E. classes rotated throughout the day on the course. Robinson who also teaches eighth grade P.E. and seventh grade health said, "The students had fun, they get to be with their friends and out of school for the day. Some are pretty good, but some are first time golfers. They all said it's harder than it looks. It was very entertaining to watch."

Really Disappointed
"I really wanted to love these. I had heard from several friends that Geox is really comfy and was willing to pay more to get comfortable but stylish shoes. I walked on these for an hour and couldn't believe how uncomfortable they were. First, the sole is really narrow and i felt like I was wearing 4 inch stilettos with the amount of pressure that built up on the top part of my foot. Further, walking on the streets of NYC where there are uneven surfaces, I could literally feel the sharpness through the sole."

Beautiful to look at .... not comfy to wear
"These shoes are utterly beautiful and I REALLY wanted them to work, but..... I can hardly even get them on my feet! They are designed with no side/rear zip and very little stretch in the elastic means it's very very hard to get your feet inside the shoe. One time, I managed to cram my foot in there....and found them very tight and very narrow. Very unfortunately really, because if they were at all close to comfy, I totally would have suffered for these shoes....!!!"

So DS is 14 mo and has been walking for about 6 months. He has recently decided that he needs to stand in the tub (and on the beds). If I say "we dont stand in the tub" or "sit down please" or "we have to sit so we dont get ouchie" he will sit right down but we go through that at least 3 to a dozen times per bath. Bath time is kind of his wind down time before bed so taking him out completely for standing = stinky very fussy lil man. So any other ideas? I try and keep him busy playing but he is just so focused on standing up. He also likes to do this on the beds which most of the time I just take him down off of the bed but it doesnt stop him from standing right up the very next time. I definitely try and pick my battles but we seem to have a very accident prone (or shall we say seeker ) lil man that has had his share of bumps and bruises already. Thanks everyone!!
No announcement yet.
Bathtime (etc) Ideas?
new posts
*chuckle* My 2 older kids were just like that. I tried to get my first to sit, to no avail, so I just bought a cover for the spout and a mat (sometimes I just used a big towel) for the tub. I also bought some fun games for the tub. These games didn't get her cranked up--rather, she would play with them over & over, so it was a repetitive wind-down.
And, honestly, it was a fairly short lived phase. Yes, my DS got many, many bruises, but nothing too bad
I would say get a mat -- (and I didn't know they had covers for spouts? Sounds like a great idea too) -- as long as he's not jumping around in the tub, you won't have to worry as much about him getting hurt. My ds wouldn't sit down in the tub either for the longest time. It seemed like he just really didn't like the water. He now loves his baths though...

you're describing my ds2 precisely. but, thankfully, it is a developmental phase and they eventually go back to sitting in the tub. i'm thinking that in the water, they like to feel the water pressure from sitting to standing. it's a very "cool" feeling when you're new to this earth.
as for standing on beds, all of our mattresses are on the floor. the couches, though, were a major headache until he got older and could negotiate w/his body better.

Hugs Mama! It is hard to let our little ones explore and yet keep them safe sometimes.
For things like this that are a safety thing, I let my DD see my fear of her getting hurt. I didn't curb it. She only tried standing a few times. I let her know that she really scared Mama and it is 'Dangerous' to stand in the tub and I "didn't want my Alya to get hurt".
I also always made it a point to have one hand near her at all times during these early months of exploration and if she did try to stand, I'd hold onto her and say, "If you want to stand, Mommy or Daddy need to be holding on to you". Further, I'd wash her up (head to toe) when we first go in there so that she could then just play afterwards. If she tried standing afterwards during play time, I did tell her that we'd have to get out of the bath so she can then stand outside the tub if standing was what she wanted. I never had to take her out for this, though she tested me a few times by doing those cute "half-stand/half-sit things".

All of mine did this.
Ronnie now asks for his spout ducky cover before I even start running the bath.
It is a short period, just keep reminding them that sitting is safe.

"I've worn New Balance for years. Ordered my normal size 8.5 W and when I received it, it looked like a childs shoe. Couldn't even fit my foot inside. Placed it next to my current New Balance shoe and it was way smaller although it is marked as the same size. I will be returning."

"I have worn New Balance for years, and I absolutely love their shoes. The color is cute, neutral enough, but with a little color pop. Very comfortable, I wear them very often, at least 3 times a week, and for years at a time. I only buy another pair when the first ones wear out after so much use!"

Yeah I was already planning on hiking in. I'd be up for joining the crowd.
I'd love to be able to do the hike, but won't be able to get the extra day, Friday off is the most I can do.

i am really hoping to make it to this hang. I was trying to go to NEHHA but i will not make it to that hang. Fam is having a party that i have to attend. I will see if i can get the Friday off and drive down.
Doing my Best to get off work at the end of January for this Hang.
It looks about 90 % sure that I can make it. I have just enough time off for the Friday morning- Sunday morning hang but no pre-hike for me on this one, ( and I love pre-hikes).
But of course its all null and void if the world comes to an end December 21st.

You seem to imply "talented" people only want to live in neighborhoods of the type that you prefer. I know some pretty smart and talented people who really like their nice houses in the suburbs. They also don't mind driving their expensive cars. As far as "mixed income" neighborhoods go, I can see the benefit for the lower half, but what does someone with money/assets get from living next to a poor person? Uncomfortable is about all...which is why these types of 'hoods are rare.I see two parts to this that I wish to address. The first is the common one of the "victim," that I somehow (or more often New Urbanism in general) attempt to force people into living a certain way. The second, which I'll get to later, is the issue of xenophobia and "what do rich people get out of living near poor people." In fact, I think both have similar root issues of what can we actually afford and the hidden costs of 20th century urban form.
Now as far as me suggesting any particular preferences of talented people, I don't think I have ever made such a statement. Nor do I really ever discuss "talented" people. However, there does seem to be more and more emerging evidence of the benefits of density or proximity of talent and the educated. But, that isn't the point of this blog. Although Dallas, does severely lag in these categories.
I've always felt that I go out of my way to state that "these types of neighborhoods" presumably referring to walkable urban ones is more about the market and more particularly about the gap between supply and demand. As Chris Leinberger has surveyed and written, 3% of the country lives in walkable urban neighborhood, but as much as 40% would like to but doesn't, often for some reason or another, can't.
The other issue this blog is keen to point out are the barriers pending up that demand and preventing the supplication by the "market" of walkable urbanism. The way our cities look, particularly those of the Sun Belt is often mistaken as being demand driven. However, this is far more attributable to federal, state, and local policies that are horribly outdated if not outright misguided and overly top-down.
These include Euclidean zoning, tax policies, housing ownership incentives, and federal and state transportation policies and funding producing the monotonous suburban landscape. The built form is merely the phenotypical response, an outgrowth of the political genotype. My opinion is that the great reset, or great recession, or however you choose to recall the repurposing our cities and our economies are undergoing is a response to this, a shedding of the failed, the useless, to be cast aside on the scrap heap of history along with dinosaurs, the dodo, and polytheism.
I point to the relatively stable values in walkable communities (of all densities) as well as the successes and popularity of new walkable urban developments as evidence. I would also like to point to a post from earlier this year, entitled The Myth and Necessity of Choice where I specifically discuss the necessity for a range of housing types and take a walk through the town of Torrent, Spain, a suburb of Valencia, where a natural gradient exists from its dense core to its rural edge.
For the economy to rebound, we have to have a greater range of housing types. For the local economy to function more smoothly, we have to reduce the distance cost of transactions. For the City to compete on a regional, national, or international scale moving forward, we need to be attracting the brightest young talent.
And yes, survey after survey has shown that Millennials not only prefer but demand walkable, interesting cities and are willing to locate to cities based on the quality of life in that city and then find a job, not vice versa. If a certain percentage wants a big house and a big car, more power to them. And since there may be a surplus of upwards of 32 million single family houses on the market, they should be able to get a pretty good deal.
This isn't about painting the world based on my preferences OR about your preferences. This is about the meeting an unmet demand and providing a range of choices that respond more directly and effectively to what everybody wants, can afford, and is designed optimally while not limited by what banks are willing to lend to or what is easiest and cheapest for developers to supply, or for cities to regulate.
As for what the rich can get out of living near the poor, let's try this on for size. First, assuming that it is a given that a car-dominated transportation network requires more space than one that is walkable. If we isolate by class, this then ensures the service industry workers for the wealthy areas have to live in areas far from where they work, either shackling them to long commutes by cars that can comprise upwards of 40% of their income. Or, it requires a mass transit system (either rail or bus) that is extremely inefficient and costly within a sparse population. Both systems are excessively costly and all are underwritten by the wealthy.
This is precisely why I came up with the phrase, "walkability is a tax cut." A city's economy is made up by the connections between people, between seller and buyer, and the cost of those connections, if all by car leads to a degraded and bankrupt city.
You even see many very wealthy responding to this by creating servants quarters and having live-in maids, nannies, and what not on their grounds. See Georgetown for the natural market response to this, where there are a range of housing sizes and types including basement apartments, accessory dwelling units, granny flats, apartments to go along with the original estates. See Annapolis for a City that proactively understood the economic benefit and basic humanity of mixed-income and created affordable housing in-town that blended with the adjacent townhomes (I will track down pictures).
There are also the more loosely connected or ethereal externalities of a city segregated by socio-economic class induced by the supposedly desired privacy of the wealthy including increased crime, lack of opportunity, poor schools, and despair. When the poor have a closer connection to the wealthy, where the estate is up on the hill, there is something to aspire towards.
Furthermore, the wealthy estate contributes much of the culture and wealth that enriches the rest of the community, but when withdrawn behind walls the way the wealthy support the city becomes more negative. Those are the cities of the third world, where two economies exist. One, by helicopter and rooftop and behind walls and the other, in crime-ridden squalor. Either way, the wealthy support a city, its culture and economy, why not the way that actually does lift all boats rather than broadening the chasm.
For the City to thrive, we are going to have to take down our walls and our fences and grow back together, and learn to live with one another, restore some faith in our city and its citizens, and design the City in the way that allows that to happen.
Many wealthy may desire privacy and that is fine. But, many also desire to be near the bustling activity of city centers. Once again, it is all about choice and the provision of it. We've just forgotten about a few too many market segments.

Category name i.e.MUSIC & VIDEO
Setting up the Squeezebox Duet can be done in a couple of steps: the Duet controller must be docked and charged, the receiver must be plugged into an outlet and connected to any stereo or powered speaker system, and the system must be set up.
The SqueezeNetwork will give you access to online music services (Pandora, Rhapsody, Sirius, Last.FM, etc.), Internet Radio, and even Podcasts, while the SqueezeCenter program streams audio files stored on a computer to the Duet box.
The SqueezeCenter will automatically scan your 'Music Folder' and 'Playlists Folder' (all assigned) for all compatible files (MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WMA Lossless, WAV, and AIFF) and will be ready to push audio files straight to any Squeezebox device (like the Boom we tested a couple of weeks ago and the Duet). The only files that the unit cannot play are DRM-Locked songs, which are files purchased from an online music store like iTunes.
Just so long as you connect the receiver to a good set of speakers and feed a good signal to it, the Duet will perform well and give you your money's worth. Drums and cymbals sound clear and crisp, with bass being present and felt in our music tracks. The only time the unit sounds horrible is when you go listen to Internet Radio stations that stream their content at 64kbps, so users are advised to download FLAC files or rip audio tracks in WAV files.
If you have a good set of speakers in your living room and want to stream your audio files to it, then the Squeezebox Duet is the way to go. But if you are an average punter that just wants a simple-to-use box that can do it all, then the Squeezebox Boom ($599.95) may suit your fancy. The Squeezebox Duet comes with an RRP $699.95.

Testing Fitbit's wrist-band wearable fitness tracker over the past couple of weeks has been an interesting experiment that sees me wanting to continue the tracking and reaching the daily 10,000 steps goal - but I wish it also told the time.

Beaded Black
I am on sabbatical in Manila, for a few weeks, and in addition to my domesticated activities of practicing yoga and baking my famous cookies while I'm home, I'm bringing back an old cottage-industry skill of mine: beadwork. You may recall the nuts-and-coins collar I did on a white shirt a while ago, it was partially inspired by a jet black beaded collar shirt which was part of Amber Siegel's (of Baartmans and Siegel) graduate collection. I've always had that shirt in my virtual to-DIY list, and now that I found the perfect too-plain shirt to encrust with gems, I decided to get on with the bedazzling.

Hi, everyone I am new here. I have been reading about Aware parenting and Attachment parenting and both have very simular concepts, but I am confused on the nursing part. My daughter is strictly breastfed and she sometimes uses it to keep from crying. I have read you shouldn't distract them from their need to cry even by nursing. But I also have read that nursing can be a great way to calm your baby...I'm so confused! By the way my daughter is 2 months old and she has had a very rough start. Very difficult delivery that caused injury to her head. Cranial sacral therapy has helped her heal physically but I am wondering if she needs to cry to heal emotionally. Any suggestions will help

I don't know much about 'Aware Parenting' but would always offer the breast to a crying infant.
'Aware Parenting' sees crying as a way to heal trauma and release stress. I also see crying as sometimes for that reason... but.......it is also a way for a young baby to say "I am very hungry, feed me" or "I enjoy the feeling of nursing and I would like you to help me do that now".
Have you read The Contimnuum Concept?
What does your instinct tell you to do?Last edited by naomifrederickmd; 06-19-2009, 07:48 PM.
The problem with letting her nurse when she just wants comfort is that she just spits it all up and then cries because of that. She is 9 weeks old and has only been nursing for 3 weeks before that she would just scream if I tried to nurse her. Hopefully she will get passed it when the newness wears off. Thanks for your advice, I will see what happens because letting her cry when she wants to nurse for comfort isnt working either!

it can be very frustrating when you can't figure out why your baby is crying! i had the same issue w/my 2nd, that he would nurse for comfort, but then vomit and get more upset! what helped somewhat w/him was lying down to nurse. your let down is less strong this way and allows them to be able to take in the milk a little more slowly. so sometimes comfort nursing would help. that is what we as mothers do instinctively. i suppose it's possible that if he's continuing to cry after you have done all you can, maybe he does have some tension crying to do. put him in a sling and walk, bounce, rock, sing to him, let him know you're there. some mothers have found swaddling a great source of help to their babies, too.
Hugs to you, mama!
I was also going to suggest The Continuum Concept! It has given me so much more insight into my instincts.
My opinion is that the breast should be offered - it's important for nutrition and comfort, both. I don't believe that you can "make" your baby take the breast or that she will take it if it's not what she wants. And, I believe that if she needs to cry and doesn't need to nurse, she will find a way to cry!
So, please try to take comfort in offering her what she may want (breast, diaper, just being in arms, etc), and, if it turns out that isn't what she needs, supporting her while she cries.
The only way to know what your daughter needs is to respond to her and be with her. It sounds like you are trying to guess whether she needs to nurse or needs to cry, and that is just going to be impossible to do!
Continue to trust your instincts and you and she will continue to grow together and get this communication thing all figured out!

i have found a very good article for you that will help clarify some of the differences between aware parenting and attachment parenting. you will need to sign up for the Attached Family e-zine to read it, but it's called "Crying and Comfort".
let me know if this article helps!

Preview Game #36 Leafs @ Senators - How is Ottawa doing it?
Cam Charron
March 30 2013 11:42AM
The Ottawa Senators' season could be summed up as so: 'Still injured, still winning'. The losses of Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza, Craig Anderson and a host of other useful Senators roster players has had many sports analysts ask the question "well how are they doing it?"
Generally the answer when confronted with a problem is not one singular piece. The Senators haven't had success this season because of Paul MacLean. They haven't had success this season thanks to the new shutdown pairing of Marc Methot and Eric Gryba. It's not Kyle Turris, it's not Mika Zibanejad and it's not Daniel Alfredsson. It's an awful lot of those things combined.
When Karlsson went down, the issue wasn't whether the Senators would get the offensive production they got from the back end from anybody else. Obviously you wouldn't. When an injury happens, what happens is players slide up the depth chart, and the big test is whether the minor leaguers you're putting the lineup in the depth spots can handle the competition.
This is why people who call into radio shows demanding that the Leafs rid themselves of people like Dion Phaneuf or Phil Kessel because they've been underwhelming as superstars is illogical. Even with Phaneuf's point streak, he's a lower-level top defenceman at best, and a very good No. 2 d-man. Still, that doesn't mean he needs replacing, he needs help on the depth chart. Turris, Zibanejad and Jakob Silfverberg are all good enough players to play in the NHL. The question was whether Ottawa would be able to fill the holes that those three players (and the defencemen) left when they moved up the depth chart. Ottawa has an impressive minor league system. Players like Patrick Wiercioch, Andre Benoit and Ben Bishop were good enough to take pressure off of the players who were the new top-end players and expected to carry the load. It's not one guy, it's an organizational thing.

It hasn't been solely the goaltending for the Senators at even strength—their goal totals are pretty crummy as well because they haven't shot at a real high percentage either—but on the penalty kill it looks like they've given up shots disproportionate to the number of goals they've given up. The Leafs are better as a PK unit and will be matched up nicely against one of the league's best powerplay groups. Sergei Gonchar, now no longer playing on the second unit, has 22 points this season which is tied for the team lead with Turris.
Here are the Sens lines:
Daniel Alfredsson - Kyle Turris - Mike Hoffman
Guillaume Latendresse - Mika Zibanejad - Jakob Silfverberg
Colin Greening - Jim O'Brien - Chris Neil
Matt Kassian - Zack Smith - Erik Condra
Marc Methot - Eric Gryba
Chris Phillips - Andre Benoit
Patrick Wiercioch - Sergei Gonchar
Ben Bishop
Robin Lehner
There aren't a lot of red circles on the usage chart... Note that Chris Neil may be out and replaced by Peter Regin in the lineup.
The lineup has switched around so often this season that roles have changed as well. The only real constant is that Zibanejad has been granted the primo offensive minutes and Zack Smith has spent a lot of time starting at the defensive end of the ice. I really like Smith in that role. I'll have to do an analysis sometime this week of how zone start roles have changed for Randy Carlyle and his group. At the start of the season, I'd suggest that Mikhail Grabovski would get to match up a lot against Zibanejad by virtue of getting a lot of defensive zone starts. Tyler Bozak has been taking a lot of those faceoffs now, so it will be interesting to see which Leafs match up the most against which Sens.
If I had my way, and I don't, I'd match Nazem Kadri against Zibanejad and watch Joffrey Lupul skate 200 feet four times each shift. That's a high-event line so you want to match him against the Ottawa line that's least likely to stifle you defensively. Probably wouldn't care too much about Turris or Jim O'Brien.
Leafs lines. They didn't have a morning skate, so we'll know about 10 minutes before puck drop whether Carlyle is holding out Jake Gardiner for a second straight game. Another thing you get if you add a defenceman to the lineup is that Gardiner and Mike Kostka becomes a de facto third pairing, which is pretty good at this level. I'm not too convinced of Mark Fraser's NHL future after his last three weeks or so, and it's absolutely clear that if he didn't play so much time with Kadri his plus/minus would not be close to what it currently is:
James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Phil Kessel
Joffrey Lupul - Nazem Kadri - Nik Kulemin
Matt Frattin - Mikhail Grabovski - Ryan Hamilton
Frazer McLaren - Jay McClement - Colton Orr
Carl Gunnarsson - Dion Phaneuf
Liles/Gardiner - Mike Kostka
Mark Fraser - Cody Franson
James Reimer
Ben Scrivens
Clarke MacArthur is out again. I'm not sure how hurt he is, but it's probably precautionary and an indication the Leafs are looking to trade him by Wednesday. Bummer.

These days it isn't uncommon to have more than one printer attached to a computer. Some printers may be locally connected printers attached with USB or parallel cables, and others might be a printer connected to a remote networked PC. Other printers may include "virtual" printers that don't actually produce tangible results on paper, like those included with fax or PDF software, for example. Although any of them can be chosen from an application's print window, one is always pre-selected. The question is, how do you define which printer that is?
The simple answer is that the computer's default printer always gets picked automatically when a program's print feature is invoked. By setting a printer as the default, it will automatically be pre-selected. To do this, follow these simple steps (which assume you are running Windows XP, have a right-handed mouse configuration and have the regular start menu turned on):
1) Click on the Start button.
2) Find the "Printers and Faxes" menu option. It should be located directly under the "Control Panel" menu icon.
3) Hover your mouse pointer over the "Printers and Faxes" menu option and press the left mouse button.
4) The "Printers and Faxes" window should appear. Inside should be a list of all the printers installed on the computer. Hover the mouse pointer over the new default printer's icon and press the right mouse button.
5) Hover the mouse pointer over "Set as Default Printer" in the resulting menu and press the left mouse button. If the operation completed successfully, a black check box will be displayed alongside the icon.

|In response to Re: Faucet leak
You could have just started a crack, if so, tightening it will make it worse. There is no rason why they could not need extra tightening, but there is also no good reason why they should.
: HJ, Thanks, that clears up some things for me on info. I couldn't find anywhere.
: Wouldn't a cracked faucet leak more than I described so a simple tightening may stop the leak? Would I be able to bottom out the connection if it is cracked when I try to tighten in an attempt to stop the leak? I guess I am still wondering if it isn't out of the ordinary for this one of four connections to require an extra turn or two.
: Thanks again

RAP4 - At Fort Hunter Liggett California
RAP4 - At Fort Hunter Liggett!
RAP4 is proud to supply the latest in force-on-force training equipment to the US Army soldiers who train at Fort Hunter Liggett in central California. Military personnel use RAP4 products in actual combat training, where they engage character actors and static targets, dynamic OpFor, and learn to detect IEDs. RAP4 paintball guns enable them to conduct safe training in tactics and protocol on facilities that are not designed for normal small arms fire.
Paintball guns in the T68 series are currently being used by many military and law enforcement units, as the T68 perfectly replicates the ergonomics, point of aim, and controls of the M16 family of small arms. The T68 paintball guns shoot marking paintballs, which cost far less than firearm ammunition and are considerably safer to shoot indoors and in dynamic scenarios. Other special training rounds for the T68 paintball guns feature different fills for different facilities: pure water for when you can't leave splats behind, and powder when you need visual confirmation of hits but have to keep the mess to a minimum. The T68 paintball guns have proven reliable, durable, and innovative enough to win the prestigious Law Enforcement Technology 2009 "Innovation Award."
Innovative military combat training has never been so important. With deployment into hostile territories where they encounter a new kind of foe, military personnel of all specialties are now receiving life-saving combat training. The RAP4 T68 paintball guns make that training as real as it gets, while keeping operating costs down and allowing trainers to use an unprecedented variety of facilities and materials in their drills. There is nothing like the kinetic reinforcement of being hit with a paintball round to reinforce critical lessons, and there is no experience quite like taking fire to prepare soldiers for the rigors of real combat.
Soldiers are engaging threats at pointblank range in theater, as they clear buildings and must sort in a moment between threats and civilians. Much of modern combat occurs in cities and complicated urban environments, where our soldiers are vulnerable to threats from all angles. Training for building entry and searches requires elaborate structures be built that can withstand small arms fire while replicating real world dwellings...but when units train with the T68 paintball markers, they don't have to worry about stopping bullets - just paintballs. This allows facility designers significantly more freedom in creating scenarios and training structures, and affords a level of trainee safety unavailable with duty arms.
RAP4 is proud to assist our soldiers in their CQB training at Fort Hunter Liggett, and around the world, by providing equipment and resources that get them ready to ship out. RAP4 - as real as it gets!

A vision of Britain between 1801 and 2001.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
This theme is concerned with who was able to find work, and the consequences
for those who could not.
The census is not the ideal source to study these questions, because it is
taken only every ten years, and we plan to add additional information from other
sources such as the records of National Insurance and the Poor Law system, and
their modern equivalents, Job Seekers Allowance and Income Support.
For now, our only non-census data here comes from the trade union-run welfare system that laid the foundations for the National Insurance system before the 1914-18 war. One strength of census data on unemployment is that it is relatively little affected by the changing rules of benefit systems, although we do add numbers on government training schemes to our figures for 1991.
For most of the twentieth century, the unemployment rate among women was of limited value. Many women were not involved in paid work, and even those with jobs had problems claiming benefits when they lost them. We therefore concentrate instead on the "activity rate", which measures what proportion of women were economically active, either in work or looking for it.
Our detailed statistics are held in structures called nCubes, which you can think of as tables with one dimension, or with two ... or with twenty. Their dimensions are defined by the variables each nCube combines, and each variable is made up of categories. These nCubes are available at national level for this theme:
|Available nCubes
