text: Well, it's that time of year again and some of us are getting worried about the flooding on the Red. I've been hearing conflicting information on the news about the flooding situation at Fargo(I've heard that the river is 10-20 feet above flood level already) I know it's supposed to crest at Fargo any time now, but I want to know the story from people who live on or around the Red. I don't know how much snow you guys got over the winter, but we have had an above average snowfall this past winter and the river level is already high south of Winnipeg because of the fast melt we have had this spring. I'm praying that the flooding will not be as bad as it was in '97, but with the info I've heard it could be a possibility. Any feedback is appreciated.

Green Bay Finishes Sixth at Titans Invitational
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
HIGHLAND, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Freshman Gene Kiela (Plymouth, Wis.) led the Phoenix for the second-straight tournament as the Green Bay men's golf teams finished in sixth place at the Detroit Titans Invitational at Prestwick Village Golf Club. The 54-hole tournament finished with 18 holes on Saturday as the Phoenix battled low temperatures and snow flurries.
Kiela opened the tournament with an even par round of 72 before finishing at 10-over par 226 (72-76-78), good for a tie for 18th place. Junior Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) was two strokes back of Kiela in a tie for 22nd after rounds of 74, 77 and 77.
Sophomore Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) had an impressive final 18 holes given the conditions, shooting a 4-over par 76 to lead Green Bay. He carded scores of 79 and 73 in the opening rounds to finish tied with Ozga in 22nd. Senior Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) also had a 76 on Saturday and finished tied for 31st (81-76-76=233). Fellow senior Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) tied for 39th with a 20-over par 236 (81-77-78=236).
Green Bay has one more tuneup prior to the Horizon League Championships, playing at the Butler Spring Invitational in Indianapolis on April 18-19.

So I'm thinking about going out and buying a cheap laptop I can use for pen testing. I've been using my work laptop, and I'm concerned about doing anything questionable with a giant work logo on the lid of my machine. Plus, I don't relish the idea of bringing my laptop to a security convention, when the first rule of such gatherings is to avoid exposing any hardware that you don't want to get hacked.
So, dollar for dollar, it seems like the Chromebooks that have just come out are a decent alternative to a flimsy netbook. I have seen a couple isolated hits on Google about successfully installing BT on one, but there are no returns for a search on Chromebook in these forums, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm reasonably sure I can get BT5 installed without incident (though I notice that there is a Chromebook with an Intel proc, and one with a Samsung proc; jury's still out on the latter), but as for things like getting the integrated wireless card to do promiscuous mode/injection, various driver compatibility, I just wanted to ask around before I dropped the cash on one. As much as I like the idea of not having to pay a premium for a Windows OS on a new laptop, I'm not sold on ChromeOS yet, so hopefully someone has made the early adoption already and can tell us how it is. Thanks!

usualy that parts is already installed in the rec , although thr onrs from ORF dont included it
I was going to order a Imbel kit and it said that the ejector block is missing. Is that a big deal, or can I order it somewhere else? Is there anything else I need? except for the receiver? Thanks
usualy that parts is already installed in the rec , although thr onrs from ORF dont included it
Yeah, it's only a factor if you buy one of ORF's receivers as they don't come with one for who know what reason. Not a part I'd care to install in a receiver. The ejector block is missing from about all the kits on the market these days. Guess Jack Boots, Inc. is afraid we might do something with them contrary to their liking.
" The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them." - Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
I'm thinking of trying an ORF receiver. Any sources for the ejector block?
Getting the ejector block is easy, they can be had for about $10.
Installing it is a whole other matter. The block needs to be drilled and pinned in the exact location, which requires a jig/drilling fixture.
Proper location of the EB is critical to the rife functioning properly.
Not something for the inexperienced. I wouldn't attempt it myself.
I sure am glad to see DCI finally putting out some recievers again....

I havent but then again I havent seen the RPD reciever they announced 6 month ago, but in all fairness i have yet to ever lay Eyes on the dci fal rec I hear so much about
If the auto one is usable they are $.25 at Tapco.

They say 45 days on the ORF receivers, time will tell. There are some reports on the DCI receivers that say it looks just like the DSA type one. No build reports yet. Check the FALFILES marketplace for ejector blocks, I just got a couple semi ones for $10 each shipped. I have one from the kit I got from IO that is select fire cut and predrilled so I am covered whichever way I want to go. There was a lot of debate about using the full auto blocks but as long as the receiver is not cut for it I don't see a problem.
I am on the order list for the ORF receivers and will probably get a DCI when they become available after filling all the old back orders. I built a FAL on a Imbel receiver to see what it was like and as long as you get the tools it was pretty straight forward. I still had to do some fitting to the Imbel so they are not all perfect either.YMMV. The price on them is gone to the free market system, supply low=price high. The days of the $400 FAL build are over. If you want to build one do it now as the price and availability of kits is not going to get any cheaper.
There are some Century receivers on the market right now and the reports are that they are better then the old ones but may still take more work to get them right. The price reflects that as they go for about $170.
Edit: Tapco sold all of their surplus FAL parts to www.Gunpartsguy.com

Yes indeed. We can always race though!!!!!!!!
I dunno buddy, I got really fancy spokes on my BMX!
I forgot we are going to footrace! My bad Dlev. You name the distance, I will pick the terrain.
Depends on the amount of anger involved. We can start at 5 miles - with a 10 mile max.................
Roscoe is Canadian. He's much better at running kilometers. Excellent strategy selecting miles.
So where are the droids I'm looking for?
Hunter's hiding them in an escape goat pod
Hunter is like Dale he should be given a full starters minutes to get into full game mode, say once every 12 games? Other wise it's helter skelter, chicken with his head cut off type game. But he can't stay healthy either.
NOTE: All "you" references in the following post are used in the general sense and not in the specific sense (i.e. directed at Thee). OK, judging from the fact that Thee is not the only person to ever suggest this, there must be some group of people that come up with these things. Where do you guys get these wild ideas? There is NO coach in the history of the game of basketball that has ever dolled out starter minutes to one guy once every twelve games. Why? Because it's totally insane. Who would do this? Besides the fact that it would be totally useless in maintaining anything of value from a player that was played with that kind of minute scheduling. Nevermind the fact that playing someone like that is basically "injury insurance" (read: insurance that whatever player was used like this would almost be guaranteed to be injured). I am totally at a loss why anyone would suggest such a nonsensical minute pattern for ANY player (not just Hunter). Along with who's responsible for reminding the coach when said player is due for his "starter minutes," I just can't understand why people continue to suggest this as a way to utilize ANY player. Additionally, the fact that NO ONE has EVER been used like this should be all the convincing a person should ever need that it doesn't make any sense. If you think a guy shouldn't be played or kept on the roster, fine. Suggest his being waived, cut, bought out, benched, or traded. But, for the love of God, please stop with the cycling of minutes based on the rotation of the moon, playoff seedings in the NHL, and the occurance of leap year, along with the price of tea in China. I get it that everyone but me and Hunter's mom want him banished from the NBA. However, suggesting that he get 35-40 min. once every 12 games, or 20 secs at the end of each qtr, or one possession per playoff series is just silly, in no "real world" situation would this ever happen to a guy and I will never understand the utter creativity with which people invent ways to limit minutes for the guy they don't like.
Don't want Hunter banished. Just don't want him to be the first PG off the bench. We need someone who can shoot and pass. Neither is his strength. He's a good 4th or 5th guard. After 13 seasons, it is unreasonable to expect him to be playing heavy minutes, or hurting Billups by being unable to play heavy minutes. I would love to go to dinner with Lindsey and talk basketball. I would love to see him brought in for key defensive possessions. But he's becoming like Ben, a player you have to consider pulling out if offense is needed.
Ronald Dupree gets that kind of treatment. I guess it depends on whether or not you think Lindsey Hunter contributes more than Ronald Dupree.
However, Hunter does a decent job with the minutes he gets. For my money, if I have to chose between Hunter, Blalock, and Murray. Hunter wins every time.
Hunter will have some good games sometimes. In most games the other team goes on a run when he comes in. Not sure exactly why as it should not happen to that extent but it does. Overall he has never been the ideal candidate. Every year Dumars has had to go out and find someone else before the end of the season.
The Spurs have been in Tayshaun's head since the Finals when he was a complete no-show for 7 games. He never figured out how to pass out of the quick double team that consistently wasted 8-10 seconds of shotclock. I wouldn't expect much from him against them anytime soon.
This weekend, I reviewed every minute Hunter played, twice, for the month of February. He had one NBA acceptable game, against Toronto. His shooting guard play for the month so far was ok, nothing great, but ok. His point guard play was absolutely atrocious, except for that one game. And even then, it was his good shooting that made him have a good outing, not really his getting other's easy baskets. Bottom line, as a backup for CB, there is no way Hunter should be out there. As a backup for Rip, at least he is better than Flip Murray since he plays D. Sorry, but thats not saying much though. Despite my great bias toward not seeing Hunter out there nearly so much, at least there is a trend for the month of CB playing less minutes. Slightly less, but less. In a few games, Hunter kept Billups off his feet for most of the 2nd quarter. My biggest pet peave or whatever you want to call it? Hunter is usually the point guard when Maxiell is out there. This kills any chance for JMAX to be seen in a good light. JMAX is still doing some pretty good defensive rotating, but we do not get the benefit of his offense, nor the benefit of JMAX getting a comfort level on O that would move him up a level, making him even more valuable to us. Delfino does continue to play quite a bit. And I like that. And when he acts as the point guard, the ball gets into the post almost before you think about it. In my opinion, Delfino should be getting all those backup guard minutes, not Hunter. Or even Blalock. Just in case anyone asks what my alternative is.
How many times do I have to tell you all that Hunter plays his best when he is the 2 guard playing with Billups at the 1. Then he is a surprise scorer with the rock given to him instead of him dribbling out the clock and he is forced to shoot or passes to someone else who only has a few seconds to shoot. The O is just out of synch when he runs it. Our misses, normally turn into ezy fast breaks on the other end. I thought this was the Pistons-Spurs game thread?
I wouldn't worry about. Hunter was not in the plans to play such a role this season. Dumars guy for the backup 1/2 ( Murry ) failed at it and I am sure he is still in the process of finding someone else to play that spot. Then Hunter can be the low minute situational player that he was supposed to be this season.
Hunter is 6'2" 215 lbs. He's not a football DB. He should be about 195 lbs. I figure the extra weight [fat] would keep the muscle tears down but that's not happening. I don't like having guys out of sorts [game ready] when you need them. You can hear their joints cracking when they stand up. Lenz and Dale are vets that know how to play but you lose it fast if you don't get game experience. How about starter minutes every 6 games? I wouldn't be surprized if JD buys out Lenz before the year is out.
Hunter gets approximately 1 qtr of total play per game. At 13.6 mpg, that's completely acceptable and necessary for any player you feel you will need to play at any point. The only players getting fewer minutes than Hunter are: Dale Davis, Will Blalock, Amir Johnson, and Ronald Dupree. I think that's pretty accurate as none of those guys should be getting more minutes than Hunter based on the contribution that Lindsey provides versus that of, say, Blalock or Dupree. Lindsey gets probably exactly what he should be getting.

The research of Jennifer Manly, PhD, and colleagues at Columbia University suggests that methodological and analytical approaches, not actual racial or ethnic disparities in cognition, may in some cases help explain differences between older African Americans and non-Hispanic whites on cognitive test performance.
The Columbia group's findings, published in the March 2002 Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, offer a powerful new tool - adjusting test results for quality of education - as one way to make cognitive testing of older people more culturally neutral. In the study, when test scores of participants with similar quality of education, measured by reading level, were compared, differences in test scores between two racial groups mostly disappeared.
The report challenges a standard approach used in research on cognition and dementia. Because differences in education might affect test scores or health status, most studies that have adjusted for the number of years of schooling still found that older African Americans did not score as well on cognitive tests as non-Hispanic whites. Manly's work looks instead at the quality of education. Inequalities in the educational experience of those who grew up in an era of segregated schools, Manly reasons, might be attributed to less funding and resources for such schools as well as fewer days per year that schools in the agrarian South were open for instruction. These discrepancies in early education, Manly suggests, have the potential to persist throughout life, as indicated in differences in reading levels between older African Americans and non-Hispanic whites.
At the NIA, racial and ethnic differences in cognitive function and dementia are an increased focus of research. "Several studies have reported racial and ethnic differences in cognitive performance in older adults and in the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease," notes Molly Wagster, PhD, program director for neuropsychology of aging research and project officer for the Manly study. "Because cultural, educational, or other differences might affect performance on this type of testing, there have been questions about whether measurement techniques are as culturally neutral as they could be."
Participants were drawn from a community-based study of cognitive aging in New York City's ethnically diverse neighborhoods of northern Manhattan. Random sampling was used to select 192 African Americans and 192 non-Hispanic whites age 65 and older. The two groups were matched in age, sex, and number of years of education. Participants were given medical evaluations at the start of the study to confirm that they did not have dementia and that they had no problems with daily activities. A battery of neuropsychological tests was then administered to examine memory, learning, and thinking abilities. Older people with low levels of reading ability could only name letters or read short, common words. Those with higher reading levels were able to pronounce complex, less common words out of context.
The African American group scored lower on the neuropsychological test battery overall as compared to non-Hispanic whites. But when reading scores were factored in, most differences between the groups were no longer statistically significant. The exceptions were category fluency (a test in which people must name objects in a category during a set period of time) and a drawing test, where differences between racial groups were observed even after adjusting for reading level. More information is needed to explain the persistent differences on those two measures, the researchers said.
Manly recommended further research to sort out methodological and analytical approaches, such as accounting for quality of education, from real racial or ethnic disparities in cognitive test performance. Such problems in methodology and analysis make it difficult to establish whether one group or another truly may have greater rates of cognitive decline and dementia in minority groups. "We need to develop measures designed to assess cognitive abilities in a way that is compatible with African American and other cultures," she notes. "With these, we will have greater confidence in any measures which show - or do not show - differences in cognitive health and dementia among various groups. Dr. Manly pursues such research as a neuropsychologist at the NIA-supported Alzheimer's Disease Center at Columbia University. Part of Dr. Manly's focus at the Center concentrates on research to improve the accuracy in diagnosing cognitive impairment and decline over time.
Researchers at Columbia are now adding tests of reading levels to their assessments of cognitive ability and are looking to see how accounting for quality of education might affect previous findings on levels of cognitive performance and rates of dementia among different groups in the community. In addition, Manly and her colleagues are carrying out further research on the effect of quality of education and literacy among Spanish-speaking Caribbean Hispanics through a pilot grant from the Columbia Center for the Active Life of Minority Elders (CALME), a Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) funded by the NIA and the National Institute of Nursing Research.

Nothing beats wine advice from an experienced taster. But what if you're just stumbling into the wine game? Wouldn't it help to get a gut-level gut-check from a n00b's gut? That's the thinking behind our new series of Pro-Am Tasting Invitational. Our first subject is today's Expression 44° Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Oregon - 2 Pack. Alison Smith of Wine Country Connect will provide the tasting notes with actual expertise behind them, while Jason Toon will provide the (let's say) outsider perspective. We'll let you decide which one speaks to you.
Part one: Alison "TexaCali Ali" Smith says...
Tonight's Expression 44 tasting was a great excuse to cook a welcome home dinner for my main-squeeze who spent the last few weeks in the Loire Valley & Germany. Riesling is his first love, but you know what they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so tonight's dinner was a bit more fancy than my usual Tuesday-night-after-yoga meal of bird-feed (and wine). Here's how dinner and wine went down tonight in Cali (with the game sounding off in the background of course - GO MAVS!)...
Glassware Used: Schott Zwiesel Burgundy
Expression 44, Roserock Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon (Black Label)
Decanted: 6pm, splashed hard into decanter and placed in fridge to bring down to cellar temperature
7:30pm first taste:
Color: Depth - medium -deep, Hue - crushed ruby velvet, Clarity - clear.
Aroma: Intensity - aromatic to powerful. Aromas - dark cherry & slight minerality
Dry, medium-full bodied, lively acidity, medium soft tannins
Good balance, powerful but elegant structure
Flavors - with lively but concentrated red fruits, mineral core of iron.
Expression 44° 2009 Pinot Noir Eola – Amity Hills, Oregon (White Label)
Uncorked: 6pm, placed bottle in fridge to bring down to cellar temperature
Color: Depth - medium. Hue - dark ruby. Clarity - clear
Aroma: Intensity - aromatic. Aromas - wet woodsy herbs, purple fruits
Dry, medium bodied, fresh acidity, medium soft tannins.
Good balance with flavorful intensity - very elegant
Flavors - purple fruits
9pm: Dinner was served. I chose beef over the usual pork and duck pairings for Pinot Noir. I know Oregon Pinots can most always handle a steak. In fact, one of the best filet mignon pairings I've ever had was with a 2005 Lange Estate Freedom Hill Pinot Noir at III Forks in Austin, Texas. DELICIOUS!
Tonight's Menu:
Pan Seared & Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Pinot Noir Reduction Sauce (thyme, shallots, garlic, salt, pepper, organic beef broth, corn starch). Brussels Sprouts with a hit of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Baked Yukon Gold Rosemary & Sea Salt Pomme-Frites
Dessert: Époisses de Bourgogne, a cow's milk cheese made in the village Époisses found in Côte-d'Or, Burgundy. My very favorite cheese to pair with Pinor Noir. I cut a wedge at 5:58pm - before I opened the wines to make sure it would be perfectly oozing by the end of dinner. Right on! It tastes like rich butter, a hit of hay and nuts. I prefer the Roserock Pinot with this. Might have to sneak a bite of chocolate in with the other.
Wines throughout dinner and tasted again @ 9:35pm
Aroma: slightly more intense
Dry, medium-full bodied, medium soft tannins
Good balance, powerful but elegant structure mellowed out a bit
Flavors - tiny orange peel, even concentrated red fruits, mineral core of iron, the finish now lingers on.
This bottle is more enjoyable to drink now.
Aroma: HUGE Intensity, floral with a big whiff of ice-box cherry pie.
- Dry, medium bodied, fresh acidity, medium soft tannins.
- Good balance with flavorful intensity - very elegant
- Flavors - purple fruits with a blend of creamy cherry and a very smooth finish.
So, would I drink these again? OH YEAH! Both wines should be cellared for a few years. I'd give the Roserock a shot in about 7 years to experience the true elegance of this vineyard. I'm happy about this Black Tie Buy, Expression 44 Pinots from Oregon are right on their mark and would make a great addition to both new and old collections. I am sending a few out as gifts for sure! Cheers - TexaCali Ali
Part Two: Jason Toon says...
You know that feeling you get when you experience something that is clearly a cut above what you're used to, even if you can't totally articulate how? Like riding in a Jaguar with leather upholstery, or watching a ballgame from the box seats when you usually sit in the upper deck? That was my first impression of the Expression 44° Pinot Noir. While the white-label (Expression 44° Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills) and the single-vineyard black-label (Expression 44° Pinot Noir Roserock Vineyards Eola–Amity Hills) versions had their differences, each projects that immediate smoothness and complexity that says "Hey, who let this guy drink me?"
At first whiff, white-label came across as friendly and laid-back, almost shy, with a hint of something that reminded me of chocolate milk. The black-label was the more uptight, insistent, and fruitier of the two, conjuring images of angry blackberries. Since we're a one-decanter household and I didn't want to give either wine an unfair advantage, I just let the bottles sit while we inhaled our gourmet repast of broccoli and Kraft mac 'n' cheese. (Why, yes, I do have kids. How did you guess?)
After 90 minutes or so, they seemed ready to taste - and even if they weren't, I was. The white label had gotten over its shyness, proclaiming "I have tannins! Hear me roar!" That chocolate-milk lushness was still hanging around, but in the company of some woody, fruity, earthy business. If you could rip up a mulberry bush, roots and all, and wring out its essence into a glass, it would taste something like this.
Its black-label cousin, meanwhile, had mellowed out from my first aromatic impression. The air had brought out more of a plummy, cherry character, reminding me of the little dab of jam in the middle of those pinwheel cookies. Generally, I didn't find it as pushy on the tongue as it was on the nose.
Now, as I'm sure you can tell, I don't know enough about wine to know whether these two would be improved by cellaring, or how they relate to other vintages of Expression 44° Pinot Noir, or how they relate to other Willamette PNs. But I will say that on the whole, these two were much subtler and more complex than my mental image of Pinot Noir. Maybe that says more about me than about these wines, but in any case, two tongues up over here.
We hope you found at least half of this little exercise informative. See you in the next thrilling Wine.Woot Pro-Am Tasting Invitational!

I have half of bottle of each left, so opening again to taste in a few hours, will report.
This is altogether informative and hilarious. I want to be one of the wine noobs! It's too bad you can't ship wine to PA.
I'd like to point out that double-fisting booze is the only way Jason makes it through every morning. And sometimes the afternoon too. And sometimes the early evening.

you spilled some wine when you poured it into the decanter. I'm disappointed in you. You made the Pinot weep.

Is it always Chinese New Years at Jason's house or whats up with those window treatments? I fully understand the two fisting booze thing.

have you ever tried pouring wine into a decanter with one hand and taking a photo of it in action with your iPhone in the other? I'm lucky any of the wine made it in.
Speaking of, need to give them another try right now.
Both wines have no been opened for 26 hours. Re-corked and sitting in the fridge throughout the night, then out on my kitchen counter all day (1.5 hour car ride too).
No food tonight while tasting.
They are both tasting very consistent with the 2nd tasting note of last night. Still very well structured, with a bit more tea leaf and mineral coming out of the Roserock. No fooling, these are "mindful" pinot noirs, I appreciate the elegance and complexity found in each. If I had to compare them to a burgundy, stylistically they lean more towards the pinots of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
And that's all she wrote....
I've had both these wines. Keep a stock in my cellar and enjoy them greatly.

How different do you find the 07 and 08? (and 09?!) Very curious, as I'm finding Oregon 07s to be very tight, thinking they need more cellar time and may end up rather good.

I Always Wanted To Know:
What Are The Most Important Tablet Specs?
If you've considered buying a tablet device recently, you've probably seen a specifications page a mile long, but which are the most important specifications to pay attention to? I'll break it down into four key ones that will help you choose the right device.
At its most fundamental, a tablet is a device you look at and interact with. Since the screen is not replaceable, finding a good screen is critical. Look for a display that lists the touch screen as capacitive and the display type as IPS. Avoid screens that say resistive or list a display as just TFT.
Since a tablet is a small computer, it's important to have a fast enough processor to handle web browsing, e-mail and apps without bogging down. In general, look for dual core or quad core processors with speed ratings over 1.0 Ghz. Avoid processors that are single core and speed ratings under 1.0 Ghz.
Size & Weight
Since a tablet is meant to be held in your hand rather than sit on a desk, the overall size and weight of the device is important. While there is no "guideline" that applies to everyone, you can generally consider 7-8″ tablets well designed for single hand holding and larger 9-11″ tablets are designed for two handed or table top use.
Since a tablet does not connect to most standard computer accessories, it's important to look at what expandability is available. If a tablet does not have a memory slot, then you'll be limited to the built-in memory of the unit. If the tablet has a USB port, look to see what accessories are supported. Just because it plugs in, does not mean it will have drivers for your tablet.
Do you have a general technology or electronics question you always wanted to know like "How does a Microwave work?" or "Why do LED's last so long?" Write us by clicking here.

I am a breast feeding mom to my 2 month old son. I just wonder what other positions would you recommend everytime I am breast feeding.
Printable View
I am a breast feeding mom to my 2 month old son. I just wonder what other positions would you recommend everytime I am breast feeding.
What positions do you normally use? I always found lying down on my side with the baby on their side facing me was helpful during the first few months. It helped me to get much needed rest while still providing comfort and nourishment for my tiny babe.
This helpful video has tips for breastfeeding and shows many positions, including the side lying one that I described above.
That's a great video that shows different positions for breastfeeding.
I'm going to take it one step further and mention that if you're having any soreness in your breast or red areas that could be caused by plugged milk ducts, you can also have your baby lay on the floor, and then hang your breast over baby and let baby empty the breast while the breast is hanging (not compressed against your body). This is not an "every day" breastfeeding position because it's not very comfortable, but can be invaluable when you need to unplug a milk duct.
I also wanted to clarify that in the video above they say that if you're feeling tired you should not breastfeed while lying down. I disagree with this viewpoint. I breastfed all 5 of my children lying down every day because that's the way I got the best amount of rest. I'd just roll over, pop baby on the breast, and both of us would dose back to sleep.
I always found it really easy to just roll back. Baby rolled back when he was done eating, and I rolled back too. Here are 2 great videos showing you more about feeding baby while you are both in bed.
I agree with Kate on the side lying while tired, I cosleep with my babies and they have always breastfed periodically through the night. There is research to show that this is the way things are supposed to occur. Breastfeeding reduces the odds of SIDS by up to 70% and if the mom is not obese, intoxicated, a smoker, or taking medications then cosleeping be a safe, viable alternative to separate bedding. In fact, it is safer than sleeping apart in many respects. =)
Good stats from mom2many. I was told that when you co-sleep with your baby SIDS is reduced (like mom2many said) because baby pattern's their breathing after mum's.
Thank you moms, those videos are very helpful for me.
Have you tried feeding in bed at night or during the day? Let me know if you've tried that and how it's going. Whether you have trouble with the latch and if it allows you to get more rest.
Having a 2 month old is SO much fun - newborns and infants are my favorite age! Looking forward to becoming a grandmother at some point in the future... can't have any more of my own due to menopause.
Warm regards,

Although intervention from Ayatollah Khamenei enabled President Ahmadinejad to obtain approval of his Cabinet from a reluctant parliament, Iranian reform leader Mir Hossein Mousavi continues fighting for the rights of his people. He called for protests against the fraudulent election to resume. "People, your friends are committed not to betray you on the path of fighting liars and fraudsters. With respect to this commitment, the only way that I recommend is to continue on the green path that you have followed in the past months…. with small and large gatherings, campaigns and questions."
Over a hundred people are currently charged with "crimes" that most probably consist of not agreeing with the ideas of Åhmadinejad. Public protests have died down in the past month since students are back in school and pressure to avoid openly confronting authority is present. The strategy of Mousavi is focusing on family and friends to keep alive the principles of democracy in order to avoid having innocent people sent to jail and torture. It is a quiet soft revolution, but in the long term may be the most logical manner of proceeding.

This interactive session will focus on government officials and civic activists using new data tools to transform city government, in particular on the institutional and cultural considerations of organizational change, from bureaucratic hurdles to communicating and sharing data across departments and across sectors to the importance of leadership. About the Study Group This event is the second in a four-part study group series, "Cities, Technology, and Democracy" organized by HKS student groups Tech4Change and the Regional, State, Local, Tribal (RSLT) Governance PIC, along with the Ash Center. Over the course of four sessions, the group will explore how new tools empower citizens and create "smart" cities. The study group will also discuss important challenges. For instance, will the expansion of data and technology really be accessible to everyone, or will some groups be left behind?

Good Board, Great Price
By Oldwoodhead
from Denver, CO
About Me Intermediate
Comments about Liquid Force Witness Wakeboard 2013:
Board has everything you need at half the price of so many others. Control is great, really holds a line well... but can break free if you choose to, even with the center fin. Great pop off the wake. Very light compared to my older hyperlite, but maybe a couple ounces heaver (could be the bindings) than a friend's new hyperlite.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice Board
By Reed
from Gainesville, GA
The board has great feel and cuts well in the water when you want it to. Solid board overall.
Can you say POP
By BTownLakeO
from lake of the ozarks
This is an all around solid board. Stepping on it for the first time, I immediately noticed how well it grips the water. You point it in a direction and off you go. This board explodes off of the wake.
Awesome board!!

About Me Advanced
I bought this board for my son who has been wakeboarding for years but his old board was well worn. He loves it on the lake and takes it on the jetski or boat and it works great on both!

The Canisius College swimming and diving teams got off to a fast start at day one of the MAAC Championships, winning the first two individual events – the men's and women's 500-yard freestyles – en route to both squads ending the day in third position.
"It feels pretty good to have some of our highest point totals ever on the first day," said head coach Scott Vanderzell. "You always like to be closer on day one, but it is what it is and we've got to battle. We've got a few races that we need to take care of in the morning, and if we do that we should be right in the mix."
After opening the meet with a second-place finish in the women's 200-yard freestyle relay, junior Marissa Oakey kept the momentum going for the Griffs, as she took first in the 500. Oakey broke her own school record with a time of 4:57.64.
Oakey got off to a fast start and led for nearly the entire event, holding off Marist's Bonnie Orr.
"I tried to just think about my own race and what I wanted to do, which was go under five minutes," Oakey said. "It was nice to see that I could go that fast and do that well and I felt great the entire time so it was exciting. At the end, I knew [Orr] was coming, and I know she saw me. My legs were just numb and I had nothing left, but I had started so fast that I couldn't let up at the end."
Sophomore Spencer Bray picked up right where Oakey left off, taking first in the men's 500 in similar fashion. Bray built himself a lead right before the halfway point of the race and held off Marist's Ryan Murphy on his way to a school-record time of 4:30.07. Senior Corey Petrie would finish seventh in the event.
"The 500 was definitely what I was most nervous for," Bray said. "I'm happy it's over and done with and I'm looking forward to the 1000 and the mile. As a team we're happy with where we're at and ready to go tomorrow."
In addition to Oakey, the Canisius women saw points put up in the 50-yard freestyle by freshman Hannah Graesser (third), senior Kelli Graber (8th) and sophomore Alicia Wheeler (t-15th). Graesser set a new program best time of 23.58 in the prelims and finished just off that pace (23.69) in the finals.
Canisius also saw success in the women's 3-meter dive, with sophomore Audrey Mulhisen taking second place and junior Taylor Epstein placing seventh.
Sophomore Clare Battaglia would finish fifth in the lone other individual event of the night – the 200-IM. Battaglia would put up a time of 2:09.01 in the event.
On the men's side of things, two Griffs advanced to the finals in the 1-meter dive, with freshman Adam Bonk (273.80) finishing fourth and junior Eddie Quarantillo (271.40) right behind in fifth.
Freshman Matt Tanchick broke the program record in the men's 200-IM during a ninth place finish. Tanchick put up a school best 1:53.18.
Marist currently leads for both the men (185) and women (196) with Canisius right behind in both, holding 144.5 points on the women's side and 116 on the men's.
Action will resume Friday at 10 a.m.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words from his sermon,
"Paul's Letter to American Christians," still ring true
today. "You must face the tragic fact that when you
stand at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning to sing 'All
Hail the Power of Jesus' Name' and 'Dear Lord
and Father of All Mankind,' you stand in the most
segregated hour of Christian America. They tell me that
there is more integration in the entertaining world
and other secular agencies than there is in the Christian
church. How appalling that is."
On Thursday, September 12, 2002, Multnomah Biblical
Seminary through its Institute of Intercultural Studies:
New Wine, New Wineskins, will take a step toward seeking
to bridge this gap. We are pleased to announce Multnomah's
first community forum on race relations and racial reconciliation
entitled, "Rose-Colored Glasses and the Color of
One's Skin." The forum will be held at Multnomah
Biblical Seminary at 7 p.m. in Travis-Lovitt Hall, located
at 8435 NE Glisan Street in Portland, Oregon.
The forum will consist of panelists who are professional,
influential men and women of the Portland community
who are dedicated to breaking down racial barriers in
the hope of living the dream of the late Dr. King, who
said, "I have a dream that my four children will one
day live in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skin but by the content of their
character." These gifted men and women have been selected
on the basis of their character and integrity, which
is lived out daily in both their professional and spiritual
lives. As such, Multnomah Biblical Seminary is pleased
to partner with men and women such as this in order
to increase Multnomah's racial and spiritual awareness
of Portland's minority communities.
The panelists will discuss their own personal experiences
as African-American men and women and they will provide
insightful dialogue on current race relations and offer
information on the present efforts being made toward
racial reconciliation in our city. This perspective
will contribute to the school's desire to reflect the
Word of God and impact its community.

In-Game Blog/Box Score
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The No. 12-ranked Ohio State men's lacrosse team posted an 11-10 victory at No. 9/11 Virginia, 11-10, Saturday at Klockner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. The Buckeyes improve to 5-1 on the year, while Virginia is now 5-3.
"I'm proud of the effort we got out of our men today," Ohio State head coach Nick Myers said. "We faced several moments of adversity including a long weather delay but stayed the course, dug in and got a road win."
The Buckeyes held a 10-8 lead after three quarters before the game was delayed for an hour and 43 minutes because of weather. The Cavaliers scored the first two goals of the fourth quarter, tying the game with 1:48 remaining but the Buckeyes caused a turnover after the ensuing faceoff and senior Dominique Alexander was able to score to put Ohio State back ahead, 11-10, 17 seconds later. Ohio State held Virginia scoreless the rest the way, including on a 30-second EMO chance in the final minute. Junior goalie Greg Dutton made three saves in the fourth quarter to preserve the win.
Ohio State trailed 4-1 late in the fourth quarter but went on a four-goal run to take a 5-4 lead with 3:30 left in the first half. The teams traded goals in the final 1:10, with freshman Tyler Pfister scoring with 12 seconds remaining for a 6-5 Buckeye lead at halftime. In the third quarter, Ohio State scored the first goal before Virginia tied the game at 7-all at 10:09. Ohio State again responded quickly and Carter Brown put the Buckeyes ahead eight seconds later. The Cavaliers deadlocked the score at 8-all with 7:46 left but goals from David Planning (at 5:29) and Logan Schuss (with 4 seconds left) regained the Buckeye lead.
Sophomore Jesse King and Brown each had two goals and an assist for three points to lead the Buckeyes. Planning and Schuss each scored twice while Pfister had a goal and an assist. Senior Trey Wilkes won 10-of-20 faceoffs while junior Michael Italiano had a team-best eight groundballs.
Virginia led 4-2 after the first quarter. Nick O'Reilly scored twice for the Cavaliers at 10:12 and 8:00 before King, assisted by Brown, put Ohio State on the board at 4:58. Ryan Tucker extended the lead to 3-1 at 2:08 and O'Reilly completed his hat trick with 47 seconds left in the quarter. With time running down, freshman Charlie Schnider found classmate Brown for a goal with just 0.1 left on the clock to bring the Buckeyes within two (4-2).
The Buckeyes scored the first three goals of the second quarter to tie the game and take the lead for the first time. King scored 2:10 into the stanza to draw the Buckeyes within one. With 4:13 left in the quarter Planning tallied to tie the game, assisted by Pfister, followed by an Evans goal, set up by King, at 3:30 for a 5-4 Buckeye advantage. Virginia's Mark Cockerton scored with 1:10 left to deadlock the game at 5 but a Buckeye goal from Pfister with just 12 seconds left in the half gave the Buckeyes a 6-5 lead at halftime.
A non-releasable penalty early in the third quarter led to a man-up goal from Schuss, assisted by sophomore Regan Comeault, 39 seconds into the second half for a 7-5 Buckeye advantage. The Cavaliers scored the next two goals to tie the game at 7 with 10:09 remaining. Brown was able to get to a loose ball after the ensuing faceoff and put Ohio State back ahead (8-7) eight seconds later but Rob Emery answered with a goal at 7:46 for the game's fourth tie. Planning scored unassisted to push the Buckeyes back on top (9-8) with 5:29 remaining in the period and Schuss had a shot go off a Virginia player and in with four seconds left for a 10-8 Ohio State lead after the third quarter.
After the weather delay, Virginia tied the game at 10-all with goals from Matt White at 9:15 and Ryan Tucker at 1:48. UVA won the next faceoff but Michael Italiano caused a turnover and got the groundball, feeding Alexander running into the Cavalier zone and he was able to score just 17 seconds after Virginia had tied the game. UVA won the next groundball and maintained possession. An offsides call on Ohio State gave UVA a man-up chance with 26 seconds left. Dutton saved O'Reilly's shot with five seconds left to preserve the Buckeye lead. Virginia had the ball and took a timeout with 3.8 seconds left but could not get a shot off.
Ohio State was outhsot, 33-27, in the game. Dutton made six saves for the Buckeyes, with Virginia goalie Rhody Heller making eight stops.
Ohio State converted both of its man-up chances and stopped the Cavaliers on their one chance, which came in the fourth quarter. Virginia was ahead in groundballs, 39-24. Italiano had eight to lead the Buckeyes and Dutton had three. Each team won 12 faceoffs; Wilkes won 10 and junior Darius Bowling added two for the Buckeyes. Italiano and junior Dominic Imbordino each had two caused turnovers in the win.
The Buckeyes return to action with a game at Notre Dame Wednesday, followed by an ECAC matchup at Bellarmine Saturday night.

Ikea's profits jumped 10.3% in latest fiscal year
January 20, 2012,
Conshohocken, Pa. - Swedish retailer Ikea said worldwide sales increased 6.9% in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, while profits jumped 10.3% despite higher raw materials costs.
The privately held retailer said worldwide sales totaled 24.7 billion euros, equivalent to about $31.9 billion. Total revenues, which include sales and rental income from commercial properties, were 25.2 billion euros, or about $32.6 billion.
Profits totaled 2.97 billion euros, or about $3.84 billion.
Comparable store sales rose 7%, the company said. It didn't release specific sales and income figures for its U.S. or Canadian stores.
"It's evident that what we offer is relevant to more and more U.S. customers," said Mike Ward, Ikea U.S. president. "We remain dedicated to growing even stronger as the leader in life at home, as well as a responsible partner in living a more sustainable life, while supporting our communities with socially responsible programs."
The company said a key growth driver was its lower pricing strategy on top-selling products. For example, U.S. stores dropped the price of the popular Hovas sofa from $699 to $499, and the Hemnes queen bed frame went from $299 to $199.
The reductions were made possible by shipping larger quantities through flat packing, keeping designs smart and not compromising on quality, the company said.

We all need to revisit our understanding of Progress Software. On March 4, I was introduced to the "new and improved" Progress at the company's annual briefing for industry and financial analysts. The company is a new enterprise software vendor with 25 years of experience. If you know about Progress, it is likely through an ISV solution based on the OpenEdge database/4GL. Or perhaps through the Sonic enterprise service bus ... or the Actional SOA management product.
How you should think about Progress Software now (see Figure):
First, Progress Software has a new mission, which it calls"operational responsiveness." To achieve this mission, Progress will primarily seek to help enterprises develop real-time, event-based architectures that extend existing systems. Real-time, event-based systems let companies see what's going on in their business processes at any given moment, and to act while transactions and interactions are in flight to fix problems, ensure compliance, add revenue opportunities, and/or cut costs. Example scenarios:

|Good boy, WD!!

Handling the party well
Wanted to share my experience with WD (11 months old) on his very first party here at the house with a crowd of 25 + people. Hope this will help you in a similar situation.
Because of the holidays our schedules and his life was already confusing enough, including the Christmas tree, college kids home again etc. He barked at the few couples coming in (we live rural so I didn't have a lot of opportunity to prep him as a young pup for large parties) so I leashed him and rewarded his good behavior. But I could see that as more people came he got more and more alert and the fun was just starting. I decided to crate him and let him work through this experience and digest the input. I took him out of his crate on leash after about half an hour, sat in a relatively shielded corner of the room with him so he could see from some distance what was going on, feeding him treats every so often, then took him closer to the crowd, let people feed him cheese and other good stuff that he normally never gets, then took him back to his crate for another break and so on. The result: later that evening he was off leash, mingling with everyone, couldn't care less about what was going on. The off and on crate time saved his sanity I am sure and resulted in a good experience for him. Mission accomplished.

Communicating with your child's schoolIt's important for the you to have the effective communication with school and school staff, which will help you in monitoring your child's growth as well as it'll provide you the opportunity to understand the effectiveness of the school in your child's success.
Children's hobbies making families go brokeAn article by Alina Tugend. In an effort to give their kids everything, families are depleting financial resources and emotional energy. Is it a case, not offering every possible opportunity considered to be a bad parenting.
Parental Guidance: How to Avoid Obesity in Indian KidsIt is a worrying fact that the ratio of obese kids in India is going up by 12-15% every year. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the chief medical correspondence of CNN, explains...
Importance of sports facilities in your child's schoolWe enjoy watching sports in college as pure entertainment. Also we want our child to be a good sportsman along with a very good in academic. In India, slowly the culture is coming where parents are giving the importance to the sports, which was lacking in the past. There was a mindset to have the child owning the academic excellence, even if he is zero in the sports but going by the opportunities, fitness factors etc parents have realized that sport is a part of academics.

Oh ... Auntie, my Auntie ...
What unspeakable horrors one ofttimes faces in the wake of growing older while, at the same time, attempting to maintain his/her value in the EFL word. At age 67, with at least 13 successful years of senior-level EFL experience on an international level behind me, I have found it increasingly difficult to sell my assets to employers who have indicated a need for teacher talent in their schools or business enterprises. Of course, I fully realize that I am no longer able to rant and rave (rap), sing grand opera like a pro, or even stand on my desk delivering my much-acclaimed ELVIS imitation -- all with the objective of sparking student attention. Nonethless, my lectures, lessons, and supervision of student English language conversation has been most effective wherever I have been employed in recent times. My complaint today is not so much about my personal problems as it is concerning the overall difficulties of us older folk in what has steadfast become a marketplace for recent college graduates ... and, in many cases, for those who have never attended an institute of higher learning.
Perhaps you may have an observation or two -- possibly a suggestion -- on this disturbing matter. Oh, yes, and before I depart, let me tell you that one of my students recently inquired as to WHEN I planned to retire. Said I, "When they place me into that pine box ... THAT'S when!" Amen.

Since I use no bottom entrances anymore, I just put the #8 on the bottom of the slatted rack.
I might try the clustering super you describe, but I'd just use layers of normal slats, mostly because dowels cost too much. I would probably use 1-1/2" wide redwood slats, 1/4" thick, which are available at my local hardware store.

Hello, all!
I've been...watching you all for quite some time.
Er, its not nearly as bad as it sounds, I swear. I discovered this site when I was literally kidnapped by my friends at four in the morning and dragged to Plano, Texas for the Fan Days convention, and popped on and watched silently for some months.
My deepest, strongest desire is to be Mando'ad, but, unfortunately, as I am just a young college student working at a grocery store, my funds aren't quite allowing for that, though I'm hoping to slowly start collecting bits and pieces for my armor. I'm sure I'll be able to learn quite a bit from all of you, and maybe someday I can be a Mando =)
In the meantime, though, I'm rummaging around and doing much simpler things. My best friend and I are hoping to make it to Celebration this year, and, if I can get my butt in gear, we're hoping to go as an Ahsoka/Shaak Ti duo. Of course, my biggest hurt in these plans are the monotrails and lekku, and as my only skills are sewing, and her painting, this will prove to be quite a challenge.
I'm really looking forward to interacting with you all in the following time.

I've been buying stuff from here a while now, and this is by far one of the best pieces of art I've seen on this site.
It is *criminal* that this may not fog despite two chances. The majority of Woot voters don't deserve a shirt this good. Drakxxx, you're way too good for their pathetic tastes. You're the King Crimson to the Nsync of ramykyoku.
I'll be livid if this doesn't print, and may just stop buying shirts from here altogether. I know my action makes no difference to the bottom line, but I'm sick of seeing good artwork lose to pandering scaffolding.
Get back into the fog dammit! I'll be so pissed if this one doesn't win again. If it doesn't you MUST get it printed someplace else. Both me and my gf are a guaranteed sale.
Re: Steamworks Operatica V.2
It's starting to look like without some last minute voting surge this one is going to miss out again, which is a damn shame. This is one of 2 in the top 10 or so that I'd buy and proudly wear. Cthulu BBQ is getting close to the top 10, then I'd have 3, heh
I like all of your work Drak, I hope you keep on keepin on!
I absolutely adore this shirt! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PRINT!
Re: Orbital Rendezvous
Oh, man, when I saw this in thumbnail, I thought/hoped it was two dudes kissing in space. But that's the kind of girl I am. It is a lovely design, regardless.
Re: Blue-Footed Booby Dance of Seduction
I love this shirt, I really hope it wins. I have an obsession with blue-footed boobies.
I'm relatively new to shirt.woot.....is "in the fog" a good thing? (as far as closer to winning)
Re: the pot calls the kettle...
I can see this as both a joke and a social statement. I wouldn't wear it because of the reaction I might get from some kettles.
Lamuril wrote:I really like the artwork... But honestly as a female I would never wear the shirt. It's definitely more of a guy shirt. I do hope you win with all the hard work you put into it, or print it elsewhere for all your strong supporters. GL!
Errr... plenty of females would wear this shirt. I can think of at least 5 of my female friends who would wear this, including myself. GMV... let's get this one to the printers!
Re: Sakura Hanami v.2 Full Blossom
I do really love this shirt. ^.^

Yes. Only the top three designs print (unless there's a tie), so the vote totals of the top four are hidden to keep the outcome unknown.
asunburst wrote:Love it. Hope I get one
Thank you! Hmmm tell a few hundred people to vote for it quick! Then maybe there is a little hope it could happen;) Or, if by some chance woot really likes it...
Re: Rain Dancer
I love how differently this uses the shirt space. It's a shame this won't be winning, but it has my vote.
Shigwarm wrote:The color contrast between the blue and gold really makes this piece.
Agreed... I keep coming back to admire this design. Not a shirt I would wear, but it's really an interesting design between the blue/gold contrast, the more subtle coloring and all the details. Nice work.
Re: Calling John Henry!
It kills me that a design this good isn't even breaking the top ten.
I don't get it - WHY is this shirt so popular?
Re: I think it's the rabbit
so who is it?? hehe =p
great shirt
Re: The Pressure Lessens
amazing l want it
Re: Island Pressure
It's really messed up that a shirt this awesome isn't higher. I think this is one of the best in this derby, and one of my favorites in the pressure derby. I seriously want this shirt.
Re: Panda loves ballet
Haha, this shirt reminds me of a short story I read a short while ago:
[quote="Jenna K. Moran"]
"Do you know," says Michael, "I think this is what the Earth is for."
"You think so?"
"God made this whole Earth," says Michael, "so that one day he could watch a panda dance. Not just any old dance, but like this."
"I guess you're right," says Sydney.
The panda dances.
I still don't get this shirt. I couldn't imagine wearing this.
Re: Cthulhu BBQ
You gotta find a way to print this. I would buy it.
Has there been a conclusion to the question of TEXT for next week's bag derby?
Looks more like sperm fighting for the egg
Re: Aerial Wonder
This is so pretty. If it doesn't print, please have it made somewhere else so that I can buy it.
Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
I wonder what this would look like with metallic ink.

flusi wrote:I don't get it - WHY is this shirt so popular?
What do you not get? The shirt is putting a hilarious; albeit, morbid twist on an extremely popular children's novel.
I haven't bought a shirt in awhile, but I may just very well take the bait on this one if it makes it.
Good luck and GMV.

Blue-footed Boobies go through an elaborate courtship ritual.
*sob* Why is this not in the fog? Print this shirt! For the love of all that is holy!
I really wish this would print... If you put it up on cafepress or anywhere after this derby I would be glad to purchase. Let me know ;).
eHalcyon wrote:Blue-footed Boobies go through an elaborate courtship ritual.
And that makes this shirt wearable? I don't even know what a blue footed boobie is... I am just dumbfounded by the popularity of this. To each his/her own though I suppose. It looks as though this is a lock to get printed. It's been in the fog since day 1.
Re: The collector
I still really love the background on this. And the contrast of the background with the line figure is kinda interesting too look at too.

Please don't be rude. There's no point to it.
you're the hypocrite. "please don't be rude" ?
adder and omnitarian gave excellent reasons many of us love edgar's designs.
no need to comment further since adder and kyle already expressed my thoughts.

... Of the last 6 Presidents it is a 50/50 split... In our history only 9 incumbents have lost re-election. Adams, Q Adams, Cleveland, Harrison, Taft, Hoover, Ford, Carter, Bush 1.
... Las Vegas "odds maker" opines on why Obama will get "killed" by Romney in November...
Mayweather supposedly had 3 million bet against the University of Alabama covering (exceeding) the point spread in the Michigan game. The Crimson Tide won by something just short of Obama's budget deficit.
... the Crimson Tide won by something just short of Obama's budget deficit... Y'all can criticize Obama, and the Fed, but this is hitting below the belt...
... Can you give me even ONE poll where Romney is leading Obama ?
... Don't get hung up on the amount of the debt... Other than printing our way out of debt, or taxing our way out we are also backed by 650 million acres of Federal Land and all the resources in on or under.


text: I don't see last season as a disaster. The Pistons team set the franchise record for victories in a season. I look at the Detroit playoff run certainly as a disappointment. If the Pistons could have managed to win Game 1 against Miami, however, perhaps they would have held home court and won the NBA Championship. It takes a few breaks to win a championship. The Pistons were very close, which is a long way from "disaster".

I'm wondering if anyone has purchased the epub or pdf versions of the Wisdom Publications edition of the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha or any of the books in the Word of the Buddha series. I'm not talking about the Kindle/mobi edition but the .epub to be read on something like a Nook. I found this site
and according to Wisdom it is legit. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with it, e.g. how well is it formatted, are the footnotes hyper-linked, can you clip passages to a text file, etc. If you have the pdf, is it searchable?

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Homeland Security: Benefit-Cost Analysis without Estimating Benefits
This study group is led by Lisa Robinson, Senior Fellow, M-RCBG This week's topic is homeland security, with guest Jennifer Baxter of Industrial Economics, Incorporated. Enrolled Harvard students, faculty, fellows and staff are welcome.
Since its establishment in 2002, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has faced the challenge of assessing the economic benefit of new regulations designed to reduce the risk of successful terrorist attacks so that those benefits can be weighed against the costs of implementing the regulations. Estimating and assigning monetary values to changes in terrorism risk is difficult for several reasons, including the challenges associated with translating interventions into quantifiable risk reductions, the lack of market data to monetize the value individuals place on these risk reductions, and the classified nature of much of the existing terrorism risk information. This presentation will describe current efforts by DHS agencies to assess the benefits of their regulations using case studies, and ideas for future improvements.
Jennifer R. Baxter is a Principal at Industrial Economics, Incorporated (IEc), an economic and environmental consulting firm located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has over 17 years of experience as a consultant and specializes in designing and conducting economic analyses of complex and innovative federal regulatory programs. Her current work focuses on measuring the costs and benefits of regulations designed to improve homeland security, public health and safety, and the recovery of endangered species. Ms. Baxter's significant expertise in the area of regulatory analysis is reflected in her work for multiple federal agencies on state-of-the-art methods and guidance development.

I'm looking for a new hunting partner (or 2), as my current one will be out of commission for the regular season. I've never been a fan of ducking alone, and I'd like to get to know someone now. Don't worry, I have all necessary equipment. Just interested to see if there is someone out there in the same situation as me.
Shoot me a PM if your interested.
