"Very interesting lecture!"
Loved it!! Author was very comprehensive about an esoteric subject that most people have no idea exists. Props on another great lecture.
"Not what I expected "
Is more a class about the theme than a book. Booring and waste of time

Still Painful?
Hi, everyone! I'm just going to post a question and hope to hear from you soon!
For my first baby, I breastfed him for a long period of time. I had a painful and traumatic experience during the first months of breastfeeding. Now that I'm planning to get pregnant again after four years, I would just like to know if am I still going to experience the pain of breastfeeding (soreness and bleeding for examples) like that of what I have gone through with my first baby? Thanks!
5th August 2012 03:45 PM #2
I am so sorry that you had a tough time with your first baby. Soreness and bleeding are not a normal part of the breastfeeding experience. Generally pain -and especially bleeding- indicates a poor latch. More often than not, this can be remedied by a visit to your local lactation consultant or a knowledgeable nurse or midwife. Do you have access to someone who can evaluate your latch when this baby is born? It may be that everything works perfect for you and you have no issues.
Here are some breastfeeding videos, which may help you to get a better understanding of how the baby should look on the breast. Though breastfeeding is natural, it does sometimes take some practice. I hope that your future breastfeeding experience is better than your first. However, if you find yourself in pain or running into problems- look for a local professional who can help. Most hospitals have lactation specialists on staff.
If that doesn't work come back to the forum and let us know what is going on. This group is packed with experienced, long-term breastfeeding mothers. I am sure we can help you to figure out whatever issues you may have.

I'll do check some Lactation professionals for some help. Maybe, even my obstetrician-gynecologist could refer me to some. Thank you for your time! I'll post and keep updates on how it'll go. again, thank you!

Hi lil_momma,
When I read your post I immediately found myself empathizing with your pain. I had a very difficult time breastfeeding my first baby for the first 3 months of her life. I had cracked and bleeding nipples just like you did.
The pain was excruciating and tears rolled down my cheeks every time I would latch her on. It was miserable.
My problems were due mostly to my inverted nipples. What complicated this was that due to my inverted nipples, I didn't feed my baby often enough in the first 2 days, so my breasts became engorged as my milk came in.
Now I had hard breasts and inverted nipples which were fairly flat on the breast. My baby had a good suck, but she had to figure out how to latch (on a hard breast), pull the nipple out, keep the nipple out, and swallow, all at the same time. Not an easy feat for a little one.
As mom2many mentioned, latch is really the key. If you have nipples that protrude from the breast, and you have a baby that has a good suck (is not tongue tied) then all you have to do is latch the baby on properly. If baby is latched properly, you won't get cracked or bleeding nipples and the pain should be very tolerable (or no pain at all).
I was desperate to continue the breastfeeding relationship, and as soon as my nipples were healed up enough, I found that my nipples would stay out better (after baby sucking often for 3 months) and then it became much easier. By the time my baby was 5 months old, I had a WONDERFUL breastfeeding experience and continued that until she weaned.
Baby number 2 arrived 6 months after baby #1 weaned which means I had 6 months where I was not breastfeeding.
Thankfully, that breastfeeding experience went incredibly well. No pain at all, no bleeding, cracked nipples. It was wonderful.
Baby #3 arrived 2 years after baby #2 weaned and we had a wonderful breastfeeding experience.
I breastfed babies #4 and #5 too, and had no problems.
It's difficult to know whether you will have problems again, because I don't know what caused the problems the first time around. I have a friend who has very large breasts, and this was a problem for her. She did not have good breastfeeding support with her first 2 babies and so she had to stop breastfeeding them early. But she made a point to hook up with a highly experienced breastfeeding consultant with her 3rd baby and she was able to work through the difficulties that came along and she breastfed that baby for as long as she wanted to.
I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have support when you're breastfeeding because there really are many different challenges that can crop up at anytime during the breastfeeding relationship.
Thankfully we have a lot of experienced breastfeeding mums in this forum who can offer support and suggestions when needed, and if you can find a lactation consultant who can assist you locally, that's even better.
I'd also mention that cracked nipples can also be caused by not keeping the nipples dry. If you have a breast pad in your bra, and it gets wet, you'll want to change it immediately. Nipples that are in a damp environment will become sore and crack easily. Lanolin can help protect the nipples too.

Hi lil_momma,
Like Kate, you have my empathy.
It is not normal to experience this sort of pain and bleeding when breastfeeding - I agree that it was most likely caused by a sore latch.
Like you, I really struggled at first with breastfeeding. For 3-4 weeks I would screech when my baby latched on as it hurt so much and my nipples had sores all over them. It was very, very painful. But I'm pleased to say that my story changed when I saw a Lactation Consultant who diagnosed a tongue tie (so my baby had not been able to latch on properly - he was just feeding from the end of the nipple and not getting a full mouthful of breast). She cut the tongue tie (a very easy procedure) and helped me with the latch and 19 months later we are still breastfeeding. Around a week after I saw the lactation consultant I stopped experiencing any discomfort/pain when breastfeeding (the pain gradually reduced during this week).
So, it certainly doesn't have to be the same experience for you with your next baby. Breastfeeding can be a wonderful bonding time with your baby which is enjoyable for both bubba and mum. I would get in touch with your local lactation consultant before you start - you could even arrange an appointment to check the latch early on. Plus, keep asking the midwives/health visitors/ support workers - don't settle for an painful breastfeeding experience. If you get the latch right then you will be sorted - but it can take a little time. Local breastfeeding support groups are also, in my experience, an excellent way to get help.
Well done on being so prepared in advance for breastfeeding your next baby.
Best wishes,

Hi, LJ!
Thank you for your reply! I'll surely look for a latching expert to help me out before the baby comes. I couldn't agree with you more that breastfeeding is the best bonding for baby and I.
Again, thank you!

Hi, Kate! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I must admit, it was sort of a relief to gear that I was not the only mom who cries while the baby's being breastfed! I'll surely look for professionals who could give me a better knowledge on breastfeeding.
I'll keep you posted! Again, thank you so much!

I'm glad we could help to reassure you lil_momma. Please do let us know if you have any other breastfeeding questions or concerns.
Best wishes,

Here's an excellent video from Dr. Jack Newman that shows how to get a proper latch. You'll also learn how to shift the baby so that the chin is in the breast to make the baby drink more instead of just nibbling.
8th August 2012 09:32 PM #10
A great link from Kate above - Dr. Newman's videos and advice are excellent (they really helped me in the early days).
11th August 2012 03:12 PM #11
I wish I had known about Dr. Jack Newman earlier. I didn't learn about him until I was done breastfeeding. I own his DVD and have let a number of new mums borrow it. Just excellent!

The Ratings are In: How Did GLORY 11 Do?
- Written by Dave Walsh
So we've been doing some serious waiting on GLORY 11's ratings and they are finally in. What the numbers are telling us is that Kickboxing still has to develop an audience here in America, but there was a really solid start to this over the weekend at GLORY 11. In a few places I've gone on record saying that I felt that 200,000 - 400,000 were my expectations and that 500,000 would be a huge win for GLORY. Not everyone agreed with that, but the final numbers are in and they look to be exactly where they should be.
The average rating for GLORY 11 was 381,000 viewers, with the peak being 781,000 viewers. It should be noted that the peak came within the first quarter, which was most likely due to the lead-in from Spike's previous programming, which is Cops. Cops, somehow, draws over 1.5 million viewers in 2013 and it is safe to say that not all of these Cops viewers were Rico Verhoeven fans. Considering that this was GLORY's largest platform within the US to date and the first time that Kickboxing has seen a major audience in this long, consider this a solid first step.
The card featured primarily European fighters (with an Australian) whose prior exposure in the United States was only to the most hardcore of hardcore fans. It is actually admirable that they were able to pull in these kind or ratings with their core product and not by bringing in former UFC fighters to compete.

Any investor worth their salt knows it is impossible to precisely call a bottom in a particular stock. For Gattaca, though, we believe this moment has now passed given the compelling valuation (6.9x EV/EBIT vs 9.8x sector average), attractive 9.8% unlevered cashflow yield and constructive secular trends supporting its specialist markets. Sure, Net Fee Income (NFI) like-for-likes (LFL) have fallen of late, yet equally there are now early indications that organic growth may soon turn positive.

We take a look at the supply and demand dynamics of the world's largest diamonds. Less than 200 very large (>200 carat) gem quality diamonds have ever been found, yet 23 of these have been found in the past three years. This dramatic increase is being driven by a combination of the rapid increase in the number of billionaires and hence price and demand, combined with technological developments that have improved large diamond recovery and a certain amount of geological good luck.

N+1 Singer - Small-cap quantitative research - Growth style screen revamp and 10 focus stocks
06 Apr 17
We have reviewed the performance of our consistent growth screen since the previous refresh on 27 September 2016 and revamped the selection parameters to focus more on forecast sales and EPS growth going forward. In the period under review the consistent growth style screen outperformed the small-cap benchmark by c. 6% and underperformed the microcap index by a similar amount. Interestingly, although growth doesn't always seem to be defensive as might be expected, however it appears right to buy growth on dips caused by or coincident with wider market volatility. In the new forecast growth screen we take a close look at 10 focus stocks. We will monitor performance and refresh it in three to four months time.

Binghamton University Art Museum showcases "Quiet Cruelties"
BINGHAMTON, NY -- The Binghamton University Art Museum will host an opening reception and public lecture at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, to highlight, "Quiet Cruelties: Prints, Sculpture, and Unique Works on Paper by Rimer Cardillo." The exhibition, featuring ambiguous printed imagery of insects including butterflies, moths, wasps and grasshoppers, will remain on display through Saturday, March 23, in room 213 of the Fine Arts Building. Both the exhibition and the opening reception are free and open to the public.
"Quiet Cruelties" draws on four decades of Cardillo's artistic production. A professor of art at SUNY New Paltz, Cardillo fled to the U.S. in 1979, after experiencing years of military rule in Uruguay. He combines a range of printing methods and techniques, from woodcut, engraving and etching, to aquatint, mezzotint and silkscreen, to create enigmatic visual statements that feature insects rather than individuals. Here, butterflies, moths, wasps and grasshoppers suggest power and dispassion, weakness and vulnerability.
A small exhibition of early modern illustrated books of natural history, on loan from the Special Collections of the Binghamton University Library, will be on view near the exhibit. Additional upcoming events include "An Entomologist Considers Art," a gallery talk with Julian Shepherd, associate professor of biological sciences at Binghamton University, at noon Tuesday, Feb. 19, in room 213 of the Fine Arts Building.
In addition, a workshop with Marla Coppolino, Cornell Center for Technology Enterprise and Commercialization, titled, "An Introduction to Biological Illustration: Its History, Uses, and Some Methods," will be held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, March 2, in room 213 of the Fine Arts Building. Advance registration is required, along with a $20 fee. To register for this workshop, call 607-777-2634.

Presentations focus on protecting women from human rights abuses, April 4
Posted March 29, 2002; 03:37 p.m.
head of a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting women facing human rights abuses will give two presentations on campus on Thursday, April 4.
Layli Miller, director of the Tahirih Justice Center in Falls Church, Va., will discuss "Do They Hear You When You Cry: Women's Struggle for Rights" at 12:30 p.m. in the West Room of Murray-Dodge Hall. She will focus on "Achieving the Equality of Women and Men: Transforming Rhetoric Into Reality Through Law and Transformation" at 4:30 p.m. in Multipurpose Room B of the Frist Campus Center.
Miller is a lawyer who assisted in the high-profile case involving Fauziya Kassindja, a young woman from Togo who was seeking refuge in the United States from the tribal practice of female genital mutilation. The asylum that the U.S. government eventually granted Kassindja set legal precedent. The case is chronicled in a book by Miller and Kassindja titled "Do They Hear You When You Cry?"
Lunch will be served during the first presentation; those planning to attend are asked to reserve a place by calling 986-7416. Both lectures are free and open to the public.
The events are sponsored by the Bahá'í Club , Undergraduate Student Government , Woodrow Wilson School , Center for Community Service , Office of Religious Life , Women's Center , Organization of Women Leaders , Program in the Study of Women and Gender , International Center and Third World Center .

In an effort to learn something new every day I have been a quest to learn more about some merit badges. I have a sash that belonged to my Father in Law. The merit badges are mostly Type D and E merit badges, so they range from 1942 to 1960. They are interesting merit badges to be sure and fun to compare with the merit badges of today.
Monday night a Scout in my Troop brought in his Dad's old merit badge sash. They are all Type C merit badges (1936 to 1946). He had framed them and on the back identified all the badges except one. He could not find it. I told him I would check my collections, literature, and of course the Internet.
My first search was via good ol Google. Nothing.
Second, I went to eBay and a few other well known websites for Scouting history and historical information. I saw the badge, but it was never identified.
Then, I went to the place I should have started. My Boy Scout Handbook collection. I pulled out my 1942 handbook.. and right there on the XII is the merit badge. The Personal Development merit badge.
So here is what I learned about it.
It was a merit badge from 1914 to 1952. In 1952 it was replaced by the Personal Fitness merit badge.
Here are the requirements for completion of the badge.
1. Produce satisfactory evidence of habitual good posture.
2. Have no remediable physical defects uncorrected.
3. Produce satisfactory evidence of daily practice of hygienic habits and a thorough knowledge of a standard book on hygiene.
4. Pass three of the tests, according to his weight in the Athletics Merit Badge Schedule.
5. Demonstrate proper form in running, high jump, hurdle and shot-put.
6. Make up a daily drill of ten exercises for Scouts, giving proper exercise for the whole body; present evidence of having practiced this daily for six months and having taught the same to two or more boys for a period of three months.
7. Demonstrate reasonable efficiency in two outdoor games requiring physical development; give evidence of having taught at least ten Scout games to a group of boys, and know ten more.
Habitual good posture? Well that would be a tough one for a bunch of the guys in my Troop…
Any way it was interesting to learn about a merit badge from the past.
I am a believer in that you can't move forward without knowing the past. History is fascinating to me and the history of our Scouting heritage is a subject near and dear to my heart.
So for the rest of the evening…
Do some podcast work.
Study my Wood badge syllabus for a little bit.
Family time.
Well.. I suppose that would be a wrap on day 8 of #100daysofscouting.
Have a Great Scouting day!

Got "auctioned" at a party tonight - two hours of my company fetched over $3,000 play money - I don't think I've ever been valued that highly before! Nor did I expect to be the most expensive offered (by over $1k :)
I've duplicated my working environment at home so I can work til odd hours (6am 0:) and not have to drive in to the office to reformat proposals/reports at the office.
Open Source
The new PC is now in use and is being populated by "useful stuff" as I go along. I've had a couple of ideas for new tools but haven't actually started coding any of them yet.
Realised that I'd forgotten to buy Office and think I'll stick to StarOffice under Solaris on my old box.
I'm now wondering if I'll be downgraded for having so much non- open-source, personal information in my diary. Should have RTF-FAQ-ed, shouldn't I?!!?
If nothing else, this diary is going to make me start coding simply to avoid the embarrassment of "haven't-done-any-code-yet" entries!!!

Am I still here?
Am I still here?
I found this and immediately thought everyone here would enjoy this. It's a shot of Michelle Bachman's naked ass taken apparently with her knowledge.
Can anybody tell me why it's a good idea to pay back government debt? Because I can't think of any reason why it's a good idea.
I want a linky to an unredacted copy. Anyone have it?
You need to go to a strip club to get over the trauma. And while you're there, just remember that the hand that brings you your drink is the same hand that jacks you off in the back room - the efficient, invisible hand of Ayn Rand!
Right now I'm standing on my Manhattan balcony, jerking off onto the people below. They'll probably think it's a constipated pigeon.
I'm not complaining. Now I know where there's an entire state, full of people who are too scared to go to the police because they're illegal aliens.
I think I'll RAPE someone on my next vacation. Arizona is fucking good for the soul.
If you're not brown, come on down!
Tonight marked the very first time that I masturbated at the same time that the United States has some kind of universal health care system!
It's not the best bill, but it's a start that can be improved.
I'm loving this one. I'm the guy with the cam on his cock, white t-shirt. When the cam is up for about a second, I extend my little finger and flip you off. Also, I have a Swedish IP address, because I'm at one of my summer homes right now. I'm only here in the winter because my wife hid the keys to all my good summer homes. She caught me with a prostitute again, and I'm in the doghouse.
This will explain
where the fuck I've been
in case you were
missing me.
I fell asleep
in an adult theater

with my hand on my cock.
I would plead
that this was just
an aberration but
that would be a lie
because I did it twice.

Folks, you are going to be in pain. Pain Pain Pain. How can I say it? You're going to be hurting.
I can see it, and so can most of you. Hell, I'll skin a kitten just for fun, but the pain you all are going to be in actually brings a tear to my eye.
You may as well get a head start on everyone else. Start thinking about what it really means to be an American. Start thinking about what it really means to be a human being. Start realizing that you have a choice. You can't be both.
We're going to discover that it's becoming physically impossible to be an American. The laws of thermodynamics prevent it. Or maybe it's karma. Or maybe we'll just be the first empire in history destroyed by stupidity.
So I would recommend that you choose to be a human being. Being an American isn't going to be very easy in the next decade.
Happy New Year, a little early.
Continued questions:
Can free people exist in totalitarian states?
If a person exists in a way such that their desires and goals never contradict the totalitarian state, can that person be said to be free?
Or is freedom a collective attribute? Is there no such thing as a free person, only free nations?
Truth here:
People wanking themselves over lies here:
Give me your definitions of freedom.
This one isn't like the other ones. I haven't nailed down my own definition of what freedom is or is not.
All I know for sure is that the right libertarians are wrong. Freedom is NOT money. Taxes don't steal your freedom.
But that's not a definition. So sock it to me!

VIDEO: Jake Groh Shines For Bullpups
Spokane, Wash. - Jake Groh might not be the most talented player on Gonzaga Prep, but his impact goes way beyond the box score.
"If you were to look at the type of kid that we want - the type of kid that we foster, it's Jacob Groh. Not only with what he does in the classroom, but the way he treats his peers, on and off the basketball court, walking up and down the halls," said Matty McIntyre.Jake Groh Shines For Bullpups
Groh is a role player for the Bullpups - a senior willing to do whatever it takes to win games.
"I don't go out there thinking I have to score 20 [points] every night," said Groh. I go out there - I'm going to do what I can - what I've planned to do."
McIntyre added, "He does all the intangibiles. When it's time to score he can score, when it's time to defend, he'll defend. His work ethic is outstanding."
A work ethic that's helped the two-sport athlete maintain a 3.87 GPA.
"My parents always hounded into me 'good time management'. I'm always doing schoolwork - after school, before practice," said Groh
Jake's long-term goal is to become a physical therapist. In the short-term, he and his teammates would like to make a deep run into the post-season.
"I feel like we can get to the district championships, Groh added. "I hope that we can do well there. And I want to make it to the dome - that's everybody's goal senior year."
And maybe even deliver GPrep's 2nd state title in the last three years. With the Bullpups, Tom Giles.

So, let me preface this post by saying that using a blog post entitled 'The Bag That Made Me Turn to Drink' is probably not the best way to sell a pattern that you have made and designed yourself. Hopefully you'll read
most some of this post and at least hear me out. 😉
I had two last minute bags to make this week. I mean, flying by the skin of my teeth fast. I tried writing/designing/sewing a new bag in the space of two days, which was one of the bags that was supposed to go to QuiltCon next week, but I rushed through it and was not happy with my interfacing/flap choice, so I had to sadly scrap it. I finished the bag, it just wasn't up to par and needed a re-do. It happens. I was a little disappointed about it, but I tried my best, and I know it's okay to admit when something doesn't turn out right. I won't show you that bag, because…well, I don't really want to re-live it. lol.
|Back of the bag
But, I did manage to finish the other bag that is going to QuiltCon (the other 2 had already been sent out for the Andover booth). Quick clarification…I really don't drink much. Like probably 10 times a year or less. I don't mind doing it, but on any given day I'm at my sewing machine in the evening, and drinking and sewing aren't the best things to do at the same time (I'm just waiting for the day when I sew over my finger with the needle…and that I envision doing while sober, lol).
So, the bag photos in this post are from my Dot Dot Dash Bag sewing pattern. I made this using 'Lucky Penny' by Alison Glass for Andover Fabrics. I had previously cut out the interfacing, but other than that, I somehow managed to fuse and sew this bag in the span of about 5 hours. I really needed to get it off to UPS today, and I had no idea how I was going to do that *and* somehow celebrate Valentine's Day without my husband thinking I was a jerk. My daughter went to my in-law's house for a little bit, and I had almost 3 hours to sew. I thought…well, I can do this. So I turned my music up like I usually do.
Like I said, I wrote this pattern, so besides double-checking a couple measurements, I just went off of memory. I was all 'look at me!!'. Hmm. I was making pretty good progress, until it got time to attach the side panel to the front and back of the bag. In my directions, I clearly state to pin the front of bag to the side panel and sew the pinned edge. Incredibly easy. For some reason, I sort of lost my head and just sewed it straight on without the pins. I don't know why. I don't know what possessed me. I've done a side panel like this dozens of times. And you know what? I could not figure out why I couldn't get the dang side to distribute evenly on the bag; I kept getting stuck with leftover side. I'd get the front on, and then couldn't get the bag even. Rip rip rip rip rip rip rip. The more I ripped, the more anxious I got at watching the clock. I literally felt sick.
I think you were probably expecting me to say that I had trouble with the recessed zipper. Ummm…that part probably took me all of 15 minutes to sew. I just can't believe that I caused myself so much stress by such a rookie mistake as not using pins, and on a bag that is soft and would easily have taken a pin to it. And the funniest part was that I could not for the life of me figure out what was going wrong.
So I finished it up, sent it out, and my husband and I went to see an early movie so we could be home in time for the kid's bedtime at 8pm. I told him, "I don't really care about the movie, I think I just need a drink."
I guess the moral of the story is read the freaking instructions.
On a lighter note, if you're going to QuiltCon and see Alison Glass with this bag, say hi and tell her how great her fabric is. 🙂
Oh, if you like this bag (and know how to read instructions, unlike me), check it out in my pattern shop. And you can also see all the bags sewn from this pattern by my testers. Clearly, they know how to read instructions.

More than just mails – A groupware integration platform for Alfresco
Email archiving and integration with Alfresco is considered an important requirement and feature in an Alfresco content and collaboration platform by many organisations. In addition to Alfresco providing IMAP and SMTP interfaces, a variety of Outlook / Notes plugins as well as Alfresco add-ons aim to make email management simple. There are a couple of significant issues that most of the existing solutions bring with them:
- They disregard most if not all of the other important assets in a groupware system: calendar entries, tasks and contacts.
- They only work with one specific type of groupware or protocol.
- They require rollouts of client-side plugins or components with all the potential problems and conflicts of a heterogeneous IT environment.
In this webinar we will introduce NABUCCO Groupware for Alfresco, an groupware integration platform and suite of add-ons for the Alfresco repository and Share client. With out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino the extensible integration platform allows pluggable support for any remotely accessible groupware system. This webinar will contain a live demonstration of the capabilities included in the first Community Edition release of NABUCCO Groupware for Alfresco and an overview of the general feature roadmap for future releases and an Enterprise Edition.

Residential Faculty - English Composition
Office: LA 3 - Room: 12
This program is part of the English Department.
When you think of Literature you might think it's all about reading the work of talented writers. But Literature is much more than that.
Consider this. Success in any career is largely determined by one's ability to understand the point of view of co-workers, customers, and clients and how they inhabit their world. The very same can be said for success in relationships with friends and loved ones.
This is exactly what the best of Literature does. It allows you to enter into another's persona -- whether they're young, old, rich, poor, black, or white -- and understand their lives as they do.
Literature expands your horizons and enables you to share in others' hopes, dreams, and sometimes nightmares. In fact, those who've studied Adolf Eichmann -- the architect of the horrors perpetrated by Hitler's regime -- will tell you that his heinous acts were rooted in his inability to see life from another's perspective.
A Supreme Court Justice once stated that the best preparation for becoming a lawyer was to study poetry because it encourages the widest possible and most creative readings of a text. Substitute "literature" for "poetry" and you have a spot-on description of the power of Literature to help us make sense of life's complex meanings and understand who we are and how we relate to the bigger picture. And, most importantly, to each other.
Literature is so much more than reading great writers. It's about understanding the human condition.

Alternate name: Christmas Holly
Family: Aquifoliaceae, Holly view all from this family
Description Medium-sized broadleaved pyramidal evergreen. Shorter, multi-trunked form grows in lower-light conditions. Branches stout, stiff. Bark light-gray. Leaves dark-green, non-glossy, spine-tipped. New growth pushes off the old leaves in spring. Bark light gray, roughened by small warty lumps. Branchlets stout, green; covered with rusty down, later smooth and brown. Winter buds brown, short, obtuse or acute. Flowers greenish white, small, borne from the axils of young leaves or scattered along the base of young branches. Calyx small, four-lobed, imbricate in the bud, acute, margins ciliate, persistent. Corolla white, with four petal-like lobes united at the base, obtuse, spreading, hypogynous, imbricate in bud. Flower stem hairy with a minute bract at base. Dioecious, with separate male and female plants; only female plants produce red berries. One male can pollenize several females. Male flowers have four stamens, inserted on the base of the corolla, alternate with its lobes; filaments awl-shaped, exserted in the sterile, much shorter in the sterile flower; anthers attached at the back, oblong, introrse, two-celled, cells opening longitudinally. Pistil on female flowers has a superior ovary, four-celled, rudimentary in staminate flowers; style wanting, stigma sessile, four-lobed; ovules one or two in each cell. Fruit a small red drupe containing four seeds; often persistent into winter.
Dimensions Height: 12-21 m. (40-70 ft.)
Diameter: 0.3-0.6 m. (1-2 ft.).
Warning Berries can be toxic to humans, especially children, if ingested. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands.
Range Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas, Great Lakes, New England, Plains.
Discussion Typically grows as an understory tree in forests. Wood very pale, tough, close-grained, takes a good polish; used for whip-handles, engraving blocks, and cabinet work. Can also be dyed and used as a substitute for ebony.
Comments You must have both a male and female plant to have berries. The male must be the same species as the female and bloom at the same time. Because hollies are such popular landscape plants, it may be worth the risk to plant a female and hope there is a male nearby. The fruits of this species are poisonous. This is a very slow-growing tree.
Exposure Preference Shade to sun.
Flower March - June
Native Distribution Virginia to n. Florida, w. to s.e. Missouri & e. Texas; also coastal areas from Massachusetts to Maryland
Site Preference Moist or dry, sandy woods; river banks
Soil Preference Moist, well-drained sandy soils.
Wildlife Value Berries attract many bird and small mammal species.

I doubt a court would hold a doc responsible for something that wasn't available 20 years ago, but my concern is that nowadays, it is impossible to keep track of what new gene has been mapped and linked to a disease, and what surrogate marker tests are available through a lab in Oklahoma, and I fear docs will he held to that standard. Like I mentioned, one doc at the conference gives his patients a letter saying that anything in the world basically, may be hereditary, so talk to your kids. Probably wouldn't hold water in court, and is ridiculous on it's own merits, but the fact the system has encouraged someone to even entertain such a strategy speaks volumes.
I think the courts should go back at start at about 1940....and deal with the ethical questions that that vintage of technology posed. Once they're answered, start moving forward, and by the time they get to current events, we'll all be outta here!

H-D built the japenese plants, not vice versa.
Most of the union jobs and plants have been downsized or closed.
I have never heard a word about H-D taking any cash for a bailout.
(you gotta link?)
I stand corrected, they got a SECRET $2.3 Billion loan, which prior to today I never heard of.
I'd say that an honest 95%+ of the people I ride with are to the right of me.
Other than that, you're dead on!
Have a nice day!

You are here
Women Making a Difference is a grassroots group of gals who pool their money every year into a fund managed by the Coastal Community Foundation. Throughout the year, the members gather to socialize and learn more about the benchmark successes of past grant recipients. During the summer months, members conduct site visits to organizations that have applied for grant funds, and the awards are dispersed every November at a party traditionally attended by scores of women and one beloved gentleman: Richard Hendry of the Coastal Community Foundation. This year, however, the annual grants ceremony saw a spike in male attendees when Tommy Baker, Jimmy Bailey, and Tumpy Campbell walked in the door of the Rice Mill Building on Wednesday evening.
Although the rain was steady, so too was the wave of attendees, who piled umbrellas in the vestibule of the marina-side venue. Guests enjoyed light nibbles and glasses of wine for the hour preceding the ceremony. Local television reporter Tracy Amick emceed the awards, which dispersed checks to ten outstanding nonprofits, including the American Red Cross-Carolina Lowcountry Chapter, Boys and Girls Club of the Trident Area, Center for Women, Charleston Breast Center, Communities in Schools of the Charleston Area, Dee Norton Lowcountry Children's Center, HALOs, Louie's Kids, Roscoe Reading Program, and YEScarolina.

What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are medicines that fight or prevent infection caused by bacteria. Antibiotics can't fight viral infections such as cold and flu.
What is antibiotic resistance?
Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections. The bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harm.
What kinds of infections are caused by viruses and should not be treated with antibiotics?
Viral infections that should not be treated with antibiotics include:
- Colds
- Flu
- Most coughs and bronchitis
- Sore throats (except for those resulting from strep throat)
- Some ear infections; the illness can lead to serious disability or even death.
Why should I be concerned about antibiotic resistance?
Antibiotic resistance has been called one of the world's most pressing public health problems. Almost every type of bacteria has become stronger and less responsive to antibiotic treatment when it is really needed. These antibiotic-resistant bacteria can quickly spread to family members, schoolmates, and co-workers - threatening the community with a new strain of infectious disease that is more difficult to cure and more expensive to treat. For this reason, antibiotic resistance is among CDC's top concerns is more difficult to cure and more expensive to treat. For this reason, antibiotic resistance is among CDC's top concerns.
Antibiotic resistance can cause significant danger and suffering for children and adults who have common infections, once easily treatable with antibiotics. Microbes can develop resistance to specific medicines. A common misconception is that a person's body becomes resistant to specific drugs. However, it is microbes, not people that become resistant to the drugs.
If a microbe is resistant to many drugs, treating the infections it causes can become difficult or even impossible. Someone with an infection that is resistant to a certain medicine can pass that resistant infection to another person. In this way, a hard-to-treat illness can be spread from person to person. In some cases, the illness can lead to serious disability or even death.
Why are bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics?
Antibiotic use promotes development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Every time a person takes antibiotics, sensitive bacteria are killed, but resistant germs may be left to grow and multiply. Repeated and improper uses of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in drug-resistant bacteria.
While antibiotics should be used to treat bacterial infections, they are not effective against viral infections like the common cold, most sore throats, and the flu. Widespread use of antibiotics promotes the spread of antibiotic resistance. Smart use of antibiotics is the key to controlling the spread of resistance.
When is it OK for me to take antibiotics?
Doctors prescribe antibiotics to help treat illnesses that are caused by bacteria. These illnesses include infections, such as strep throat and urinary tract infections.
How should I take the antibiotics that my doctor prescribes?
Follow your doctor's directions carefully. Take all the antibiotic medicine your doctor prescribes to you. Don't save the medicine for the next time you are sick. If you skip even one or two pills, some bacteria might be left in your body and resist future antibiotic treatment.
When are antibiotics not needed?
Antibiotics are not needed for and won't work against viral infections, such as cold, the flu or mono (mononucleosis). Every time you take antibiotics when you don't need them, you increase the chance you someday will get an illness caused by resistant bacteria. You should not ask your doctor to give you or your children antibiotics for a viral illness. Instead, ask your doctor what you can do to feel better while your body fights the infection.
What else can I do to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance?
Wash your hands with soap and water before you eat and after you use the bathroom. Regular hand washing will help keep you healthy and reduce the need for antibiotics.
How can I prevent antibiotic-resistant infections?
It is important to understand that, although they are very useful drugs, antibiotics designed for bacterial infections are not useful for viral infections such
- Talk with your healthcare provider about antibiotic resistance:
- Ask whether an antibiotic is likely to be beneficial for your illness
- Ask what else you can do to feel better sooner
- Do not take an antibiotic for a viral infection like a cold or the flu.
- Do not save some of your antibiotic for the next time you get sick. Discard any leftover medication once you have completed your prescribed course of treatment.
- Take an antibiotic exactly as the healthcare provider tells you. Do not skip doses. Complete the prescribed course of treatment even if you are feeling better. If treatment stops too soon, some bacteria may survive and re-infect.
- Do not take antibiotics prescribed for someone else. The antibiotic may not be appropriate for your illness. Taking the wrong medicine may delay correct treatment and allow bacteria to multiply.
- If your healthcare provider determines that you do not have a bacterial infection, ask about ways to help relieve your symptoms. Do not pressure your provider to prescribe an antibiotic.
How can healthcare providers help prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance?
- Only prescribe antibiotic therapy when likely to be beneficial to the patient
- Use an agent targeting the likely pathogens
- Use the antibiotic for the appropriate dose and duration

Getting Started on Your Family History
Are you considering working on your family history or are you just getting started? Here are some basic building blocks that will help get you off on the right foot as you begin exploring this fascinating and rewarding activity.
Begin with Yourself
Interview Family Members
- Where they were born?
- What were their parents' names?
- Who were their siblings?
- Where did they live?
- What were their occupations?
- What were their religious traditions?
- What particular family traits may have been passed down?
- What sort of illnesses do they remember occurring among family members?
Organize Your Information
It's never too soon to organize the data you're collecting on your computer in a specially designed genealogy format. Don't wait until you're overwhelmed with the sheer volume of information; begin your record-keeping as soon as you begin your research.
There are many record-keeping packages available on the market at nominal cost. For PC users, the choices are numerous: Ancestral Quest, Family Tree Maker, Legacy, The Master Genealogist, and RootsMagic, among others. For Apple users, the choices are fewer. The main ones for the Macintosh are Reunion and Family Tree Maker for Mac. You can download a free copy of Personal Ancestry File (PAF) through the FamilySearch site.
There is plenty of information that compares packages. The key is to make sure that the package you acquire has GEDCOM functionality. This permits you to move your data from one program to another without reentering your data. It also allows you to share it with others.
Document as You Go
Using Census Records
Although the earliest censuses (1790-1840) were simply a count of the number of people in a given area, beginning in 1850 the census listed every member of a household, and later census records included much more information, including relationship to head of household, exact ages, place of birth, occupation, etc.
Federal census records are available for all the states and territories from the very first taken in 1790 through 1930, which is the last to have been released. Due to privacy regulations, there is a 72 year waiting period from the time a census is taken until it can be made generally accessible. The 1940 Federal Census will be released online on April 2, 2012.
Census records are available online through databases such as:
- HeritageQuestOnline, which charges a fee, but can often be accessed at your local libraries.
- Ancestry.com, a for-profit genealogical information provider (also charges a fee, but may be available at local libraries).
- Fold3 (formerly FootNote) (Now owned by Ancestry.com) (fee)
- World Vital Records (fee)
- Family Search, a website maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, offers a transcription of the 1880 federal census (free).
Several states, including New York and New Jersey, also conducted censuses on the "5" year of each decade. New Jersey's were taken through 1915 and New York through 1925. Most of these records are not available online, although some are beginning to be made available.
Please be aware when working with census records that they are rife with errors. Although you can almost always glean valuable information from them, never accept census records as necessarily accurate. Names are often misspelled or completely incorrect, ages, birthplaces, occupations may be incorrect, and family members may be left out.
Searching for Records
Types of Records
- Birth date, birth place, parents: Birth certificates, religious records, death certificates.
- Death date, place of death: SSDI (see below), death certificates, obituaries
- Marriage: Marriage certificates, religious records, newspaper articles, census records, photographs.
- Children: Birth certificates, obituaries, wills, census records, probate.
- Medical/Genetic information: Medical records, military records, DNA testing (eye color, inherited diseases).
- Life/interests: divorce records, newspapers, court records, obituaries, diaries, journals, letters.
- Residences: City directories, real estate transactions, voting registrations, wills, deeds.
City directories, which were the equivalent of telephone directories before there were phones. Although the information they provide is limited to name, occupation, and address, and until the early 20th century women weren't listed unless they were widows or were in business for themselves, they are often the only way to locate a family. Another benefit of city directories is that they provide lists of organizations, schools, officials, voting districts, churches.
Religious records can provide more information than almost any other source, but before you can uncover these records you'll need to figure which institution your family attended. City directories can narrow down where your family attended religious services by providing lists of houses of worship in the neighborhood in which they lived. Not all religious records are readily available, but several of the various repositories in New York City, including the Milstein Division of the New York Public Library, have large collections of church records among their holdings. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a large collection of religious records, many of which are available online; others may be accessed on microfilm through their local LDS Family History Centers.
Vital records are one of the most important resources. Birth records, however, until the late 1800s, were not consistently kept. Some towns in New England kept birth records from the early 1700s, others kept none until mandated by the state. Marriages were generally kept by religious institutions or by the officiating clergyperson. Those marriages performed by a justice of the peace or mayor, however, were probably recorded in the town records. Because a body needed to be disposed of, deaths were usually recorded in town records, even in the earliest years. Ancestry.com has a significant collection of vital records. Indexes of vitals for New York City and the immediate surrounding area can be are being made available online through the efforts of volunteers of the German Genealogy Group and the Italian Genealogy Group.
Court records include wills, deeds, mortgages, probate, law suits, orphans court, trials. Never assume that your family never owned property or left a will; check the indexes and you may be pleasantly surprised. Some people who never owned a home have left very detailed wills disposing of their personal property.
Military records are available through the National Archives. Even if your ancestor never served in the military he or she may have left a record. Military records can give very detailed information about a person including medical details and physical appearance, in addition to a record of his or her military career. Additionally, a wealth of information may be found regarding the widows and/or surviving children of deceased servicemen. If you know or suspect your ancestor was in the military, or had registered for a draft, be sure to check for his or her records.
Social Security Death Index is available free online. This is an excellent source for information on twentieth-century ancestors. The online index for the most part has information beginning about 1964. By applying for a copy of the deceased's original application, you will obtain information on the applicant's place of birth, parents' full names, and exact birth date.
Immigration Records: New York was a major immigration port in the United States for much of the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries. These records may show the name, spouse if present, traveling companion, marital status, year of birth, departure port, and others depending on the city of arrival. Many immigration records can be accessed online, through SteveMorse.org and EllisIsland.org for a start.
Newspapers: Local papers can provide information on marriages, deaths, team sports, organizations and their members, shows, arrests, and tragedies (fires, accidents, crimes). Many newspapers may be accessed online, often for a small fee. Early American Newspapers Series I is available with a membership to the NYG&B. Others are found only in site specific libraries and archives. Among others, the New York Times can be searched back to 1851 here and the Library of Congress has extensive newspaper archives. Genealogy Bank boasts coverage of over 4,500 newspapers in all 50 states; and Online Newspapers provides links to newspapers worldwide. A guide to newspapers in New York State that are on line is in the members section of this website. If you are logged-in as a member, click here to see this guide.
The Milstein Division of the New York Public Library maintains a very extensive collection of published genealogies and manuscripts. Their catalog is available through their website. Although they may provide a great deal of information, many published genealogies, especially older ones (from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) can contain many errors. If there are no citations as to where the information was found, you will need to corroborate before incorporating data into your family history.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Joey + Rory, a country music duo featuring husband-and-wife vocalists Rory Lee Feek and Joey Martin Feek, made their debut on the CMT series Can You Duet in 2008. Although both musicians had spent years focusing on their individual careers, they proved to be a strong duo and ultimately finished third in the competition, laying the groundwork for a collaborative career. Kansas-born Rory Feek had originally hit Nashville in 1995, hoping to hawk his songs. A meeting with legendary songwriter Harlan Howard resulted in a publishing deal with Howard, and Feek served as his lone staff writer through 2000, at which point he moved over to Clint Black's Blacktop Music. He eventually left that publishing contract, too, in order to start Giantslayer Publishing in 2004 with songwriting partner Tim Johnson.
Joey Feek was born in Alexandria, Indiana, and made her first public singing appearance at the age of six, when she performed Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" at a first-grade talent show. She moved to Nashville in 1998, signed to Sony Records in 2000, and recorded a debut album with producers Paul Worley and Billy Crain. Changes in the label's infrastructure led to the album being shelved, however. She recorded a second album, Strong Enough to Cry, in 2004, but that too was never officially released, although it did become available as a download in 2007.
The spotlight finally found Joey + Rory in 2008, when the two auditioned for the Can You Duet show at the request of a mutual friend. After the show wrapped up, the pair signed a record deal with Sugar Hill Records and released a debut album, The Life of a Song, that same year. Rory also released a digital solo album, My Ol' Man, but The Life of a Song proved to be the bigger release, cracking the country Top 40 and earning the duo three nominations (and one win) from the 2010 Academy of Country Music Awards. A follow-up album, simply called Album Number Two, was also released in 2010. A Farmhouse Christmas appeared in time for the holidays in 2011, while His and Hers appeared at the end of the summer in 2012 on Sugar Hill/Vanguard.

Hey all, I haven't posted anything for a while, but I do check in quite often. Haven't done much fall turkey hunting lately, but have had a little fun with some while sitting in the bow stand. I will make an effort to fill the tag in my pocket though! I took on a big challenge this bow season and I am filming for a new hunting show, hopefully to air next fall so hopefully we can get it done on camera. More about that some other time.
I have also been very busy with some Mossy Oak events. This past weekend was a great one that I will not soon forget. I joined up with Take'em Outdoors. They take kids fighting cancer and other illnesses out hunting and fishing. They also take out wounded vets which I get the pleasure to go film one of those hunts in December. This past weekend was their kids pheasant hunt. It was a great pleasure to mentor one of these kids and just spend time with all of them talking and getting to know them. I will definitely do this again. To see these kids smiles even though some of the things they are going through is just indescribable. I encourage any of you to get involved with something like this if you can. These kids really humble you, you take so many things for granted and complain about so many things, but we got it made compared to them. They taught me some things and I am glad I could help them have a day where there problems were forgotten for a little while.

Police: Scammers try to extort thousands from couple
Caller poses as police sergeant
MADISON, Wis. - Overseas scammers tried to extort $4,100 from a couple by fabricating a story that the victims' grandson was in trouble, Madison police said.
Madison police visited with a distraught 77-year-old and 78-year-old husband and wife at a home in the 600 block Whitehall Drive on the city's far east side Tuesday after they were contacted by scammers.
Madison police said a Sgt. Robert Ableman had called the couple from the Crawford Bay Police Department in British Columbia. He talked about how the grandson had been involved in a fatal crash while visiting and $35,000 worth of drugs had been found in the trunk of the grandson's car.
The caller said that to get their grandson out of trouble, the couple should wire funds immediately to a Celia Susana Melendez in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, police said.
The grandmother inquired about why Bolivia when the crash had occurred in Canada. She was told embassies in Canada were currently closed and staff members at the Santa Cruz embassy were being utilized, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Before calling Madison police, the couple called their grandson at his college campus in Ohio. He was fine and was not in Canada.
Having heard their story, the investigating Madison police officer told the couple he had traveled in Bolivia, and knew there was no embassy in Santa Cruz. La Paz is home to Bolivia's U.S. Embassy.
The officer used the couple's phone to call Ableman by dialing 438-989-4105. A man answered claiming to be Ableman and the officer could hear background sounds that were similar to what one might hear inside a police department, according to the incident report.
The Madison police officer asked to speak with the Crawford Bay's officer in charge, and a Jackson Love came on the line. The Madison officer proceeded to ask Love a volley of questions pertaining to the call to the victims' home. Love ended up hanging up, police said.
The officer next determined that there is no police department in Crawford Bay, B.C. Royal Canadian Mounted Police protect the community.
The officer explained to the couple how con artists try to prey on the emotions of older citizens. He told them they were not in danger, but should have no further contact with Ableman.
Police said the officer could see the couple was visibly upset, and he reassured them that they had done everything right.

- Written by Dave Walsh
On June 24th on HDnet, the latest installment of the Voice Versus will debut, this time Michael Schiavello interviews K-1 and It's Showtime superstar kickboxer, Badr Hari. Badr Hari has been the focus of a lot of controversy over the past few years, but is still one of the characters in the kickboxing world that sticks out the most and garners the most attention worldwide. Schiavello usually keeps a more playful approach to his interviews, looking back on the positives of each fighter or entertainer's careers, but with Badr Hari it is impossible to ignore.
