MythBusters: Savage and Hyneman detonate truthiness
Wouldn't it be better :-) ?
To use the originals rather than dummies
One of the best things on TV and one of the only things I'll go out of my way to watch.
Nah. I understand Buster
even has a star on his closet door and his agent insisted he be listed in the credits whenever he appears in the show.
Let me be the first to say (here at least)...
that these guys are awesome. Can't wait for the next season.
The awesomeness of being a MythBuster
They are not only awesome, I think they have the best job in the world!
I can't count how many times I've watched the show and thought, I would love to be doing their job!
It looks like a fun job, without question.
Computer Myth:
I have a friend who claims to have "OC"ed his CPU by (stupidly) splicing in an extra PSU to his ATX mobo connectors. Said his CPU (being bound on top by his heat sink) actually popped through the base of his motherboard and through the side of his case, sticking into the wall. I believe his story about as much as one would believe Kill Bill's version of "punching" through 6 feet of dirt.... which Mythbusters attempted as well, incidentally.
Hmm... I have accomplished the same with a hard drive
I was error-checking an old hard drive when it "violently failed" - stuck part of the platter in the wall.
Meanwhile, that would be an interesting bunch of myths to test - how fast you can overclock a CPU (complete with burning CPUs), overspin a CD, DVD, BluRay, or hard drive, or otherwise generally overtask. How long a computer would last in an oven would also be interesting (or submerged in oil, or...)
Already did the exploding CD a few seasons ago
They had to clamp the sucker in a 15,000 RPM motor to do it - the sight of a slab of ballistics gel with shards of exploded CD-ROM sticking out of it is one of my favorite things they've ever done.
was done several seasons ago; it was quite an interesting experiment if you happen to have some plexiglass to hide behind.
Funny you should mention it...
The mentioned that it was unlikeley and no one had seen it IIRC. After friday I have a single stich in my arm, a ripped shirt and bits of CD embedded in my accoustic tiles after a cheap supermarket brand dvdrw let go in a laptop and destroyed drive and laptop (and my arm)
Not long after the show we had a run of them and a crate went off to M5 containing drives, bits et al.
Seen CD's do that...
at 52x, a CD has amazing force in it. I've seen the glass shrapnel (later called "sand" a few micro seconds later), blow out the internals and metal casing far enough that it impacted the case supports itself and made it impossible to remove the drive physically from the PC. Essentially, you could see where a shard of CD dented the sides out from within, and it dented it so far out that it also dented the rails, embedding the CD drive permanently in it's own notch in the case. We also had one explode and a shard blew off the front door, flew about 6 feet across the space between 2 work benches, and hit the back of the monitor on the desk behind it hard enough to enbed in the plastic and crack the LCD on the other side of it. Luckily, no one was there at the time (found it that way one morning, and thus an immediate corporate ban on leaving CDs in a drive at all period unless they were in use installing software or being written).
There's a reason they stopped making 60x drives, and even 52s are hard to find now.
I had this one drive I was trying to salvage data off.
This was taking a lot of time and unfortunately not going too well, when suddenly and inexplicably it hurled itself violently off the table top (eSATA connection, see) and made a nice hole in the plasterboard wall about 6 feet away.
The other half maintains that I was responsible, as it coincidentally also took out a ugly framed print of something she called art hung up right there on that bit of the wall... , but ... I swear, it wasn't me.
The other half however, also knows now how to back up :P
Flying disks
Aye, it happens. Had a 4-disk NAS bodycheck itself off a shelf during a catastrophic disk failure once. All I heard was a loud BANG. I turned around just in time to see the thing fall off the shelf for no apparent reason. Wrecked the guard designed to keep it in place.
Love Mythbusters!
But "Savage has worked on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" - almost dented my love for him and the show, but not quite.
Episode 1
He didn't write the dialog, or make the decision to have a character named, of all things, Jar Jar Binks, so he's still good in my book as well. Dialogue and stupid characters notwithstanding, the movie was solid from a visual standpoint.
... think how much worse it would have been without him.
they did overclock a CD drive
a long time ago they did test the myth that a CD would self-destruct if spun too fast, that being the logic of why you didn't get ever faster optical drives. They couldn't get a stock drive to spin a disc to pieces, so employed a woodworking router to do it (at 20k RPM or something). The shrapnel that resulted stuck in all kinds of things.
"They couldn't get a stock drive to spin a disc to pieces...."
It can happen, I have seen it. In the early days, a 4x read drive was considered fast. My son had a game bought around that time[1]. When I upgraded to a 32x drive, said game disc disintegrated quite thoroughly in the drive with an impressive BANG (no bits flew out as it was all contained in the drive - there's yer busted myth, right there).
You almost certainly won't get a modern disc to fall apart in a modern drive, but an early one in a modern drive? That's a different matter.
[1] I think it was the Teletubbies one.....
I had it happen to me on a bog-standard CD drive once! Scared the life out of me!
Swear to God, honest truth.
It was TEAC CD drive round about 2000. I put in a CD-R disc and it started reading, I then attempted to copy off a shed load of data after about 30 secs there was a nasty grumbling noise and then a huge bang and a shattering plastic sound, the grinding and whining was quite loud, I just pulled the power out the back of the machine immediately!
I pulled the drive out of the case and it sounded like a parcel with china in it had been through the hands of Royal Mail! Shaking the now unplugged drive it sounded like those plastic-cup instruments with beans inside that you make with your kids.
All it takes....
...to destroy a CD in a "normal" drive is to have a fracture in the disc. I've seen some (stupidly) attempt to play their FF7 or somesuch computer game with a crack running half the radius of the disc. Only seen or heard of one catastrophic failure though.
Nine Seasons already
Have to say If they had admitted to not just working on Star Wars Episode 1, but Jar Jar, the love affair would have ended then and there
Grenade of course, what else its mythbusters... BOOM
How to make science classes interesting...
... show your pupils Mythbusters!
The default position for science is scepticism. You start with an hypothesis and then test it to see if it's valid, if not, it's Busted.
If it comes out appearing to be Plausible or Confirmed, then you put out your results to Peer Review (in the case of Mythbusters, the online forums where fans can comment on what was done and, possibly, things that were missed) and re-evaluate your conclusions and perhaps test again (ie revisit) the myth to check your conclusions.
What's most important, of course, is that you shouldn't get so wedded to your conclusions that you refuse to accept that they may be wrong.
Now *that* is science!
So true
As Adam has mentioned many times, it is the results which don't go the way you expect which are the most thrilling. How many people remember the 'are elephants really scared of mice' episode. Everyone knew it was just some cartoonish joke but when they ran through the test the elephants backed away!!
So much material used in education tends to be taken on faith when a little investigation shows either no supporting evidence or else conflicting evidence and remember, the victor writes the history (or some sycophant writes it to please them). Only later do 'balanced' viewpoints try to get written at which point the legend could be set in stone and your great-to-the-10th-Grandad ambushed my great-to-the-10th-Grandad for no reason, how on earth do you set about getting the truth behind that.
Anyone who can make it interesting to look past the pretty story to see if it is Confirmed/Plausible/Busted deserves support to if only to defeat the 'if it's on the Internet it must be true' danger.
confirmation bias
>If it comes out appearing to be Plausible or Confirmed, then you put out your results to Peer Review
ans somtimes you should publish the negative results, otherwise you get confirmation bias. where there are 1 study that proved x and was published and 99 studies that disporved x but were never published.
crap for idiots
as much about hard hitting science as the wonders of the universe.
oh i made something blow up. whoopee. the dumbing down of science tv continues.
You're confusing Mythbusters with "Braniac: Science Abuse". The latter truly is crap. Mythbusters might not be as pure as, say, Rough Science, but it does at least apply analysis and method to the problem. Before, of course, blowing something up. Just like we all want to do :)
Rough Science!
Hell yeah. Whatever happened to that?
spleen from the unimaginative
thats all
@The Mighty Spang
You're wrong, you must be thinking of one of these 'science' shows:
"Brainiac: Science Abuse" - UK idiocy
"Smash Lab" - US idiocy
"It's Effin' Science" - US fuckwittery of the highest order
However there was another really good sciency type show that unfortunately didn't last long, "Prototype This".
Oh and if you like watching things in slow-mo, "Time Warp" has some quite fascinating video footage even if some of the stuff they do is fairly stupid and one of the presenters appears to be from another planet.
Rough Science
Became very expensive when the presenters found themselves in demand for other programmes.
'Bang Goes the Theory' is the replacement and it's pretty good fun even if there has been something of a lack of thermite.
I think the word you are looking for is "methodical". It's shorter and easier to spell, besides actually existing in the lexicon.
You need to buy yourself a better dictionary
Methodological: 1. of or relating to methodology (a body of methods employed by a discipline).
Methodical: 1. performed with method: SYSTEMATIC 2. the state of being marginally easier to spell than another word with a different meaning. 3. a word thankfully requiring few enough letters for Drop Table to be able to count them all without having to take off his socks and sandals.
Fish food
They haven't tackled God yet. I expect ratings to further surge if they do. God may not respond well to a "Busted" sign being chucked out after His (or Her) segment, but advertisers are not so fickle.
P.S. - They did the CD-ROM rpm test here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2003_season)#CD-ROM_Shattering
can't be done
the assertion of existence of a deity isn't falsifiable - it can't be tested. This is the reason why it's not a question for science
Savage's british accent always makes me laugh....
It's ultimately a fun and engaging show that never takes itself too seriously. The presenters all look like they are having a great laugh and if it gets kids interested in science and engineering then great. Don't bother coming on here with your chemistry degree and dislike of social interaction bitching about how it's not 'real science', it's not supposed to be. Jeez......
Plus a beer for Kari Byron, god she's geek hot!
You might be waiting a while
IIRC Savage has said he prefers not to do supernatural topics.
then again...
...creationists believe that the existence of God *is* falsifiable by evidence that their chosen interpretation of the bible is wrong. So it's definitely a question for pseudo-science!
I believe Adam has called them
Oogie Boogie myths..
Depends on which deity you are talking about
If I claim my god is a blue rooster that grows out of my forehead, it is very easy to test my claim (and disprove it).
Many religions have lost their initial followings because their claims could not survive physical tests (some of the doomsday cults for instance).
So we are left with the "clever" religions that claim that their gods are ethereal beings and their existence cannot be tested and that this very fact is what makes them extra special.
Hence the admiration given to people who are especially strong in their faith - despite no supporting evidence that this faith has any merit.
If the religions with provable beliefs have been disproved, and only the ones who insist that non-provability is a fundamental tenet are left, doesn't this prove that natural selection and evolution must be at work?
The Hitler Bunker episode aired in the States last year, so we didn't get it first..........
OK, I thought I'd seen that episode
but was wondering if it was History channel instead. It was very interesting.
The Hitler Bunker was aired in the States on Wednesday -- and it was a repeat. It was followed by a new episode, they tested the believability of latex masks; Grant and Kary tested getting a playground merry-go-round to spin by shooting at it.
Theese guys annoy me to hell - apart from the oh-so-obvious poor scripting and execution of the script, most of their experiments wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. They tend to run their tests based on very narrow assumptions that have been tailored to give the answers they want, then claim that a myth is busted based on absence of a "sucess"; also much of the "science" they base their experiments on is wrong. At least with Brainiac they got the right mix of tongue-in-cheek, eye candy, presenters and assorted explosive materials.
IF they can't sort out the concave mirror focal point...
I call them Idiots... How embarrassing for Obama..
Every time (I believe its three times now) they have tried this with flat glass mirrors, whereas the original myth used metal which CAN be curved very easily into slight dish shapes, giving a specific focal distance, they dont all have to be the same either, just that each soldier needs to know his distance and maintain it.
What are they doing wrong? well they are failing to focus, all they do is use 1000 flat mirrors pointing 1000 incident rays, like a mirrorball.. whereas a single concave mirror will focus a billion 'rays' (ie every bit of light) into a point the genius is in the curve. they really should look at the "Bang goes the theory" Mirror Clip on youtube to see what a 2m mirror can do.
200m range parabolic mirror 1 m in dia would have a depth at the centre of .625mm to observe the effect you are looking for they would need a curved surface accurate to better than 1%.
(think hubble!)
and to aim it within 1m of a target at 200m requires an accuracy of less than 1/3 of a degree.
you try holding a 1m dia dish up _that_ still for 1/2 hour, now get 500 of your closest friends with their own mirrors to join in.
the reason this myth has failed 3 times is that it is BOLLOCKS.
the real question is why do they keep wasting their time going over and over this one
Their science on this one is solid.
In point of fact one of the unaired tests run by a contestant was with a parabolic mirror. It works at short distances, but fails at the required distances of 150 or 75 feet. The focal point for the parabolic mirror is too close to shore to have an effect.
The flat mirrors at irregular distances is a better chance at approximating a parabolic shape focusing at the single point. But I think the engineering required to get the precision alignment of the mirrors makes it impossible for it to have been done in ancient times.
Thumb up to Tom 13
"The flat mirrors at irregular distances is a better chance at approximating a parabolic shape focusing at the single point. But I think the engineering required to get the precision alignment of the mirrors makes it impossible for it to have been done in ancient times."
"The focal point for the parabolic mirror is too close to shore to have an effect."
Very good. The point of this experiment was toasting ships/sails of an invading fleet, which would require a minimum distance of 150 feet, if not 150 METERS just to make this more useful than, say, FIRE ARROWS. As stated previously, a single parabolic dish would have to have such a slight curvature that using their tools (likely just a hammer and heated metal, even though the blacksmiths then were likely quite skilled none-the-less) would still not be able to reproduce one with the required focal point distance. Then there's the obvious problem of taking more a few seconds to heat the point on the ship, it would require the ship to be stationary. In the Mythbusters experiment, the ship was stationary and sealed with commonly used (and ideal) pitch, and the mirrors were barely 150 feet away. After their burn attempt, they did manage to char the wood, but nowhere near a necessary 2 second flash burn. A modern example of this is using a laser to cause an ICBM to explode en route....
>Ancient< Death Ray - definitely busted. Computer tracking and megawatt lasers are having a hard enough time as it is. :P
...certainly neither one of them is an Archimedes or DaVinci.
That's something to consider when the mythical work of an ancient genius is seemingly debunked.
That doesn't necessarily invalidate the effort.
Although I've always thought that having a group of well disciplined soldiers might be a factor in putting together a Sicilian death ray.

Mad About Science
I am a mother of two young boys who has been conducting science incursions at various primary schools on a casual basis.
All children love these science incursions and the chance to do hands-on experiments in the classroom with the interesting science equipment I bring.
They do all sorts of topics including: suds and bubbles, light and colour, sound, chemistry with a bang, metals and magnets, forensic science, space, plants, mini beasts, electricitiy, toys and the list goes on.
At the end of each session excited children ask me where they can buy equipment that they used during the session so they can continue experiments at home. They want to know where to buy a propellar and motor to get a toy car moving, or if I can write down the chemicals used in an explosive reaction.
This gave me the inspiration to put together some simple science kits based on popular topics to on sell to children and their parents. The kits include equipment for experiments and a short booklet containing facts about the topic and experiment guides. Quality at a reasonable price.
The target audience is primary school aged children, from about 6 to 12 years old. The aim is to get children excited about science with a fun logo that will appeal to their sense of humour. Having said that, it also needs to appeal to parents (who control the purse strings), and resonate a sense of quality.
I am looking for a logo and typeface to represent my new company - Mad About Science. With your help, I'm planning to successfully sell fun but educational science kits to children so they can experiment at home!
1. The logo needs to appeal to children's sense of humour and fun.
2. Bold and playful, but not cheap and tacky. It still needs to exude a sense of quality.
3. Parents need to be attracted to it as well as children.
I'm open to all colour suggestions.
The required file formats are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Puerto Vallarta: A Travelogue
My winter break came late this year. As this is my fifth column at least on Puerto Vallarta, I've become somewhat comparative in my analysis as I seek to discover the cacophony that is Mexican color.
We're tracking El Niño this year, and my appointed day for a photo excursion was so cool and grey I halfway expected pirates to pop out of the mist, treasure in tow.
As always, Bugambilia Pink and Lime dominate the old part of town around my hotel. Last year I noticed an abundance of tobacco colors; this year it was soft ochre-pinks and underwater blues.
I also had to note this to myself: I've written widely of my dislike of all-white as an interior color (it makes my face look pasty), but I'm in New York. Travel 4000 miles anywhere and you begin to sense a shift in paradigm. If you lived somewhere with winter daytime temps of 80 degrees, you too would want surfaces white to reflect light and heat instead of absorbing it. To that, you'd start adding colors as per your natural environment.
That pink bridge of sighs once connected the two properties owned by Elizabeth Taylor, though now it's being turned into condos.
You can get a lot of bang for your buck if you paint your door frames hot pink, your silver shop deep turquoise and your café in dry tobacco.
Possible color recommendations:
Ralph Lauren -
Mexico City Yellow IB65
Villa Torlonia VM63
Blue Lagoon VM 127
Limeade Green IB75
Aruba Pink IB52

Godin Guitars: IN STOCK NOW!
From Leonard Cohen to Kirk Hammet, Godin guitars are very popular amongst guitarists who prize quality above all. And Dolphin Music has quite a few Godin guitars in stock right now...
Other guitarists who've used Godin, besides Leonard Cohen and Kirk Hammet, include Brian May, Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), David Crosby, Paco de Lucia, Wyclef Jean, Kris Kristofferson and many, many more players, worldwide.
Leonard Cohen and his Godin Multiac electro-acoustic, from his Live In London DVD
If you too want to join the select ranks of Godin players, this is the time! With prices starting as low as £344, Godin guitars are truly excellent and Dolphin Music offers several models in stock now, ready for dispatch!
About Godin
Godin are a Canadian company with their head office located in Montreal and they build their guitars in several different locations, five in Quebec and one in New Hampshire.. For those of you keeping score, that adds up to six factories spread out over about 1000 kilometers. So why not just have one giant guitar factory?
Although there are some obvious inconveniences associated with spreading themselves out this much, the up-side is that these smaller operations promote a more intimate working environment which gets everybody more involved and this is reflected in the instruments themselves.
Godin guitars are assembled in Richmond, Quebec and Berlin, New Hampshire factories. The necks and bodies are all made in their original location in La Patrie, Quebec.

APX, Five Diamond Certification, and policing dealer practices
Pardon me for being controversial but… I'm curious CSAA…. when going through the certification process, do you deduct points, or award extra points for the methods that companies use to 'attract' subscribers? I suggest that you use some of the money you earned from the APX certification to setup a help line to council victims of the door knockers that are traumatized on their own doorstep. As for the damage caused to the rest of us trying to earn a living in the security industry, I guess we'll have to earn our 'bragging rights' rather than pay for them. A sad day for the CSAA.Gary D over at Scientific Security also disapproved of APX's monitoring center's achievement, displaying a seemingly misplaced anger toward door knockers or perhaps an amorphous disenchantment with the industry in general. "APX CSAA certified? looks like Brinks and Protection One aren't the only things money can buy." Five Diamond certification is monitoring-focused, not dealer-focused. CSAA is the association for monitoring centers, not dealers. Please note, ESA has issued it's door-knocking code of ethics. They sorta got the whole ethical/non-ethical thing covered, I think. I mean, it's not really CSAA's business to penalize a monitoring center for the morals (or lack thereof) of the company's dealers, is it? Five Diamond certification is about vetting a monitoring center's compliance with UL standards, vetting its operators' understanding of communications technologies, alarm processing procedures and best practices, etc... I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with anyone's sense of right and wrong. Celia Besore, CSAA VP of marketing and programs addressed the implication that a company can buy certification, that CSAA is selling monitoring cred.
There is no fee to be certified as a CSAA Five Diamond company. Most certifications, such as ETL, UL, etc. (and others outside our industry) require a submission fee. Obviously, CSAA is not in the certification for the money since we do not charge for it--rather it takes many staff hours to process and deal with the CSAA Five Diamond process. We are in it to raise the standards and the educational levels in our industry.Besore did admit that there was a charge to take the online operator training course, but that does not mean a company is certified Five Diamond. Anyone can take the training. I did, but I don't have a monitoring center to bring into UL compliance, so I can't really get Five Diamond certified. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that one generally pays for most online training courses. Besore argued the value of the training was measurable, regardless of whether or not a company chose to go the extra mile and meet the other requirements for certification. "We've had hundreds of companies that have had their operators certified. The value of the training is that hundreds of companies (Five Diamond or not) have had their operators certified by it," Besore said. "Good training is good training no matter what the ultimate use." CSAA EVP Steve Doyle addressed the purview of the Five Diamond certification process.
There is no charge to become a Five Diamond Central Station if you meet the requirements which are, very basically, that you have a duly Listed UL Central Station, are a member in good standing of CSAA, have all operators trained through the CSAA on-Line Training program and agree to abide by the rules of Five Diamond Central Stations and CSAA membership policies. This only applies to the monitoring central station and does not include dealers. CSAA can and does set the standards. However, we stay away from individual company sales practices as this could have legal implications in the area of anti-trust.Is it wrong for a dealer to use dishonest sales tactics? Absolutely. I don't think anyone denies that. The question is, into whose jurisdiction does policing the actions of dealers fall?
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I used to run a door knocking alarm company. Anything you tell a door knocker about a "code of ethics" will be forgotten about the moment they leave the room. Don't for one minute think that this sorts out the "whole ethical / non ethincal thing". The code of ethics is simply a delaying tactic to keep the industry off the door knocker's backs for a while.
Did you see those guys from Goldman Sachs on TV this week? One division sells the mortgages, the other bets against them. Setting up a dealer company is Apx Central's attempt at seperation from the bad press brought about by door knocking. Sounds like that's good enough for the CSAA.
As long as it's not our 70 year old parents getting nailed by a pushy sales guy on their doorstep - why should we care ?
Hey Steve,
As always, thanks for reading and for your comments. I like the discussions that go on here.
They say there's no zealot like the converted. Perhaps that's where all this vitriol comes from. I'm not fond of what I've read about the practices of a lot of the door-knocking sales people out there, either. I get it. I understand that APX will probably not get a Christmas card and festive fruitcake from IP Alarms this year. However, why throw down with the CSAA? Regardless of how you feel about APX, the fact remains that it is not within the purview of the CSAA in the Five Diamond Certification process to police, judge, and punish the practices of a company's dealer base or sales force by withholding certification of said company's monitoring center (which has nothing to do with door knocking or buying/acquiring/"stealing" accounts), when that monitoring center meets all the requirements of certification.
To imply that the CSAA is in some way in cahoots with APX on some devious plot to divert public scrutiny away from the APX dealer base by spending a boatload of cash on a monitoring center and going through the process of training and UL vetting to get Five Diamond certified seems a little far fetched to me.
When you say "sounds like that's good enough for the CSAA," I feel it's important to remember the CSAA isn't there in this case to judge whether or not APX truly and with a pure heart wants to be a full service alarm company with its own central station or whether they're just doing it as a red herring: if their operators are trained and the center meets UL standards they get the certification. Their secret motivations are their own. When APX applies for certification for their central, the CSAA's job is to vet operator training in telecommunications technologies and best practices on alarm calls, and confirm the center meets UL standards. Both parties did what they were supposed to do in this instance of certification.
You know I can't resist contributing to a controversial blog. You are probably right about the CSAA. It's not really fair of me to dump the door knocking thing on their shoulders, when it's really an industry wide problem.
Let's see how this summers complaint numbers stack up against previous years. That will give us an indication of whether or not the code of ethics had any effect.
Amen to that, Steve. I think it really will be very interesting to see what happens this summer, especially after all the huge anti-door-knocking backlash last summer. I did a pretty extensive blog post compiling a ton of voter commentary on our famous door-knockers poll, and linked to Sam and Martha discussing all the door-knocking hubbub on ssnTVnews... If you missed it last year, it might be fun to revisit, now that the summer-model season is again upon us.
As always, thanks so much for reading and contributing a voice. I wish more people would speak up and speak their minds.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – For the second time this season, the King University softball team took down a ranked opponent. The Pioneer Classic may have started two hours late, but the Tornado defeated #23 Kutztown University 5-2 in the opening game of the tournament on Friday night. The nightcap against East Stoudsburg University didn't disappoint either as Fallon Thomas ripped a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to give King the 6-2 win to sweep the first day of the tournament.
King (4-7) set the tone early against last year's national runner-up, plating a pair of runs in the first inning. Cassie Ringstaff started the rally with a one-out single to center field. She then stole second, and after a Thomas walk, Hannah Smith laced a single to right field that scored Ringstaff. Amber Walker later came up with a two-out run scoring single up the middle to give King a 2-0 lead over Kutztown after the top of the first inning.
The Golden Bears (1-4) answered in the bottom of the inning as Colleen Smith ripped a double to right field that scored Jackie Heltzer, who reached on an error to cut the deficit in half.
It didn't take long for King to get that run back as Cheyenne Delffs started the second inning with a double to center field. She later scored on a Thomas groundout to stretch the Tornado lead back to two runs.
That was all the offense King pitcher Hannah Light would need as she earned her second win over a ranked team this season. The senior allowed one more run in the third inning, but bounced back to retire 12 of the final 14 batters she faced. Light struck out the side in the fifth inning, and ended the victory with back-to-back strikeouts in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Coeburn, Va., native only allowed the two runs on six hits while striking out a career-high 14 batters. Her previous career-high of 13 came in the final game of the 2013 season in the Conference Carolinas Tournament against the University of Mount Olive.
The offense added a couple insurance runs, in the third inning when Octavia Lewis-Rand started the frame with a single up the middle. With the bases loaded later in the inning, Chrissy Melcher crushed a double to left center that scored two, giving King a 5-1 lead. The Tornado left the bases loaded in the frame, however, before the Golden Bears scored their final run in the bottom of the third.
The Tornado threatened to break the game open in each the fourth and seventh innings, but King couldn't get the clutch hit as they left the bases loaded in each inning. In the game, the Tornado left 15 runners on base to Kutztown's six.
Melcher paced the Tornado offense, going 3-for-5 with two runs batted in. Ringstaff, Lewis-Rand and Walker all registered two hits as the offense recorded a season-high 12 hits in the win.
Light was nearly as dominant in the nightcap against East Stroudsburg (1-1) as she didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and struck out 12 batters in the contest. With Light shutting down the Warrior offense, Tori McComas sparked a Tornado rally in second inning. She worked a two-out walk before Delffs ripped a single to center field to turn the lineup over. Down in the count 0-2, Melcher laced a triple down the right field line to give King the 2-0 lead after two innings.
The Warriors' first hit off of light came in the fifth inning as Cara Woods ripped a double, but she was thrown out trying to stretch it to a triple, and it looked as though Light would cruise to the victory. However, East Stroudsburg sparked a rally in the seventh inning as Rebecca Smith ripped a double down the right field line to give the Warriors a chance. Kasey Meckes followed the double with a home run to left center to even the score at two. Light responded by striking out the next batter before a groundout ended the frame with the score tied at two.
Delffs worked a walk to start a Tornado rally in the bottom of the seventh before East Stroudsburg made a pitching change. After the substitution, Melcher walked to put two runners on before Ringstaff reached a fielder's choice as the Warrior defense tried to get the lead runner, but made an errant throw to load the bases for Thomas. The senior worked the count until she got a pitch she liked, crushing the 3-1 offering over the center field fence to end the game and give King the 6-2 win.
Thomas led the King offense, going 2-for-2 with four runs batted in and two walks while Delffs went 2-for-2 and scored two runs. Melcher also added two hits, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk. On the day, Light struck out 26 batters in 14 innings of work, earing both wins for the Tornado.
King continues play at the Pioneer Classic on Saturday when they face Mercyhurst University at 2:00 p.m., before taking on East Stroudsburg again at 6:00 p.m.

A new customer required a Parker Denison R5U (R5U12) relief valve, which was to be mounted directly onto a pump. The valve is now being delivered to the customer.
In September 2013, Sauer-Danfoss officially changed name to Danfoss and now operates as a new business segment in Danfoss known as Danfoss Power Solutions. But the history of Sauer Danfoss hydraulics actually dates back more than 60 years…
In April 2013, Danfoss A/S acquired all the remaining shares in Sauer-Danfoss Inc., a company formed in 2000 through a merger between Sauer-Sundstrand and Danfoss Fluid Power; Sauer-Danfoss was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and became a privately owned company, 100% owned by Danfoss.
As one of the largest companies in the mobile hydraulics industry, Sauer Danfoss hydraulics (now Danfoss Power Solutions) designs, manufactures and sells a complete range of engineered hydraulic and electronic components including: hydrostatic transmissions, mobile electronics, orbital motors, piston pumps and motors, steering components and PVG proportional valves.
This online catalogue only showcases a small selection of the products that we supply from a comprehensive range of hydraulic brands and manufacturers - we couldn't possibly squeeze everything we do in here!

Ashton Kutcher Is Getting a Lot of Attention from Girls in Bars
Demi Moore filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher, her husband of six years, a few weeks ago, and it looks like Kutcher might be ready to move on — if he wasn't moving on before she filed divorce papers, thanks to those pesky rumors he was cheating on Moore.
PEOPLE is reporting that Kutcher has been in the Midwest celebrating Thanksgiving. He even tweeted a photo from an event there. Now various sources are telling the magazine that he is visiting a lot of the local bars there and he's quite popular with the ladies (and the guys).
A waitress tells PEOPLE that the 'Two and a Half Men' star was "swarmed by girls" and that you "couldn't get to his table…he was singing, having fun." At another bar, another waitress tried to ask for his ID, as a joke. Everyone reports that he was a nice guy and a good tipper, so now everyone in those bars has a story to tell their family and friends.
It's too bad that Kutcher is going through a divorce, though "getting swarmed by girls in a bar" certainly isn't the worst thing that can happen to a guy.

Guinness (14 weeks) *loves* to eat, but afterwards he'll make some gagging noises, and he burps quite a bit, he's never thrown anything up, and it doesn't seem to upset him at all. I'm just wondering if that's normal. Currently he is getting a mix of Science Diet (small breed puppy), and Nutro Ultra Puppy.
He eats very enthusiastically, so I'm wondering if maybe he is swallowing air as he eats, or if there could be something else going on.

Last week I got worked by a large split peak wave. By large I am talking double overhead plus. I chicken jybed and was trying to out run it when the 2 peaks merged, pitched and ate me for lunch. Before I could get to the surface (and get a breath), my kite, which I crashed, got nailed by the white water and drug me for what felt like another eternity. If you have never had this experience, its like being tied to the bumper of a truck, while underwater. The whole event probably took 15 or 20 seconds, but it felt like forever.
If I had been able to keep my kite in the air, I would have at least avoided the 50 to 60 foot underwater waterboarding adventure. Plus my kite would have stayed in one piece. So I am curious, for those who kite waves of consequence, what do you do when you get worked to keep your kite flying? One of my local crew says he sheets in with both hands to try to keep lines tensioned, and then tries to steer back and forth to avoid oversheeting on one side and driving the kite to the water. I thought this sounded pretty good but not easy when getting rolled upside down. But at least he has a plan. What do you do?

Can you please help me to set the mode of the Combobox to 'local'. Its default is set to 'remote'. When a user types in the combobox, it goes to the server to take a new Datastore. I want the data store to be updated at the locally at the client machine.
I do not see a method exposed to set the Combobox's loader's mode. Can you tell me how can I set mode='local' for the combobox.
I am new to Ext JS and Ext GWT. I have used comobobox in Ext JS and successfully configured it to load data from the server when the page loads and do not hit the server to fetch the data store again and again while the user is typing.
I achieved this by combobox property 'mode = 'local' '.
I want to do the same in Ext GWT. Create a comobobox that runs in mode='local'. I suspect that GWT combobox controls this action of hitting the server for each user interaction again and again or rendering the data locally at the client machine by the same property mode='local'.
But its default value is set to mode='remote'. And I do not see a method expose like setMode(). Can you please help me to set the combobox's mode to local. I do not want the combobox to go to the server for updating the data store. I want it to be populated at the client end.
Thanks in advance.

Here in the Fellowship department we are very keen to forge partnerships with organisations that share similar values to our own, the overall idea being that through mutual collaboration we can make a much bigger impact. Recently, our thinking has turned to how we can open up the expertise within our network of Fellows to a younger audience.
Since the summer we have been working with an organisation called Student Hubs to develop a partnership which will bring together the collective expertise, enthusiasm and ideas of RSA Fellows and Student Hubs participants. Working across the UK, Student Hubs seeks to transform student involvement in social action. They act as a catalyst, empowering students to become active members of their community by promoting social action, social entrepreneurship and citizenship.
As with all of our Fellowship partnerships, by collaborating with like-minded organisations we hope to reach out to new audiences - making a bigger impact and helping our partners to do the same. With the support of Social Enterprise Berkshire's Tony Davis FRSA, we held our our first joint event in Oxford two weeks ago, where students from the Oxford Hub met with RSA Fellows for an evening workshop to brainstorm ways to use Oxford's empty shops to address a social need.
Be it youth unemployment, sustainable food production or community isolation, people came armed with ideas and possible solutions…
Set in the amazing Turl Street Kitchen (Oxford Hub and Student Hubs HQ), the event had a dual purpose: to introduce social enterprise by thinking about how we could use empty spaces for social good, and to encourage a mix of ideas and collaboration between different generations.
And this is what happened (click to enlarge)...
[gallery columns="2"]
Great conversations made for some great ideas! But where can we go from here? Well, Student Hubs offers access to a range of funding bodies to support new ideas, and of course RSA Fellowship provides access to small grants through the Catalyst fund and the expertise of Fellows through the SkillsBank. The RSA South Central region is also launching a pop-up shop advice line for Fellows and RSA friends who want to know how to go about taking their ideas forward - get in touch with Alice Dyke, Regional Programme Manager at the RSA, for more information.
Next up...
We're hoping to run similar events and initiatives with Student Hubs in 2013 - so watch this space! Student Hubs are based in universities across England such as Southampton, Bristol and Cambridge - if you live in one of these areas and want to get involved get in touch with Amy Anderson, Oxford Hub Manager.

We're always happy to hear about potential opportunities for collaboration and partnership at the RSA - if you'd like to find out more, please contact our Partnership Development Co-ordinator, Jo Painter.

2012 was the year when Samsung Electronics Co. overtook Nokia Corp. in overall handset sales and Apple Inc. in smartphones. But 2013 is shaping up to be a much more competitive landscape. Not only are low-cost smartphone makers in China jostling in to take away market share, but there will also be newcomers in the market, like Finland-based Jolla, a company formed by ex-Nokia engineers. The start-up, which opened its Asia headquarters in Hong Kong in December, is looking to launch a high-end smartphone in the first quarter of 2013. The Wall Street Journal spoke with Jolla's co-founder Sami Pienimaki about the start-up's expansion plans.
The following interview has been edited.
WSJ: Where does the name Jolla come from?
Mr. Pienimaki: It means a one-man sailor boat in Finnish. The idea is that there is this big sea with great opportunity. You start to sail yourself there alone – it's a bit of an adventure and a bit dangerous, but you still want to take this adventure because you see that there is this great opportunity. Nokia was going through a massive transition in 2011 with lots of layoffs and we were able to recruit key talent including engineers that had worked on the MeeGo project. (MeeGo is a mobile operating system that Nokia was developing with Intel Corp. until the project was abandoned in early 2011.)
WSJ: How big is the company now and what are your expansion plans?
Mr. Pienimaki: We have a bit more than 50 people, mostly in Finland and two RD sites. And we are now ramping up other locations. We have a data center in Cyberport, in Hong Kong. In China, we have a sales and marketing agreement with a retail chain called D-Phone. The deal was signed in July.
Jolla's smartphone user interface
WSJ: In addition to developing a smartphone, Jolla is also working on a mobile operating system that could become a competitor to Android and Apple's iOS. Tell us about your platform called Sailfish.
Mr. Pienimaki: It's an open source platform but we have proprietary elements in it. The core operating system components are very much open source. It has a full operating system and a user interface. It allows for multi-tasking.
WSJ: How do you plan to generate revenue?
Mr. Pienimaki: We want to sell Jolla-brand phones and license our Sailfish operating system so that OEMs can use the operating system. We are a challenger in the marketplace and it will take time. But there is a good opportunity with the operating system. It's one of the few independent options available in the market.
WSJ: Longer term, do you want to be seen as a company that makes smartphones or do you want to be like Google, offering software?
Mr. Pienimaki: We understand the needs and the challenges of the marketplace and we know how to make a competitive combination of hardware and software. It's a very challenging engineering environment and we truly understand that. By introducing a new user interface, applications and innovation through the platform, we'd be showing the way.
WSJ: When can consumers see Jolla phones?
Mr. Pienimaki: Hopefully in the first quarter of next year.
WSJ: How will you price your smartphone?
Mr. Pienimaki: It makes no sense to go to the low-end. We will kill ourselves going there. For the Sailfish operating system, it also doesn't make sense for us. It's a much more feasible and sustainable model that we position this as a something that is different, unique and offers scale for the users. So it makes sense to focus on the premium segment of the market. Sailfish can also be used on set-top boxes, smart TVs and in the automotive industry.
WSJ: Can you give us an update on your fundraising? Would you look at an initial public offering?
Mr. Pienimaki: We are looking at an IPO in 2013 but that's something we'll communicate more next year. It's definitely an option for us.
WSJ: Where would you list?
Mr. Pienimaki: Hong Kong would be a possibility, but it's likely that we'll look first at Scandinavia. But it's something that's still under planning.

The "Bike MS: Bike the Bluegrass" event, hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, is returning to Central Kentucky on Saturday and Sunday June 2-3. St. Catharine College will host the event, which helps raise money to fight MS, for the second-consecutive year, and routes will run through five counties, but primarily Washington and Marion counties.
Last year was a success at St. Catharine, raising $175,000 according to MS Society Development Coordinator Mary Carabella.

A truck loaded with books about a criminal syndicate being stolen... it seems almost poetic, doesn't it?
Or, a darn good publicity stunt, perhaps?
No matter how farfetched it might sound, it's exactly what happened Saturday, April 28, at a truck yard in Elgin, Ill.
A trailer, carrying 1,672 copies of "Cornbread Mafia," written by Jim Higdon III, was stolen.
For a small place, Washington County (population 11,717) lays claim to two big political figures.
Both serve as right-hand men for the governors of Kentucky and Indiana.
Earl Goode, current chief of staff for Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, and Mike Haydon, current chief of staff for Kentucky governor Steve Beshear, describe their jobs as anything but typical.
Special to the Sun
The following is a press release from the governor's office.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is providing $211,000 toward emergency replacement of a severely deteriorated bridge in Washington County.
The bridge carries Tick Creek Road over the stream known locally as Pleasant Run.
For the second year in a row, Washington County has been ranked as one of the top 10 healthiest counties in Kentucky.
The data is compiled into the County Health Rankings, which, according to their website, "measure the health of nearly all counties in the nation and rank them within states."
"The rankings are compiled using county-level measures from a variety of national and state data sources. These measures are standardized and combined using scientifically-informed weights," according to the website.
An indictment in Washington County earlier this year had serious implications for a man in Knox County, Tenn.
Burton Webb, listed on the indictment as residing in Athens, Tenn., was charged with theft by failure to make required disposition of property over $10,000.
According to the Knoxville News-Sentinel in Knoxville, Tenn., Webb was recently appointed as the Knox County Finance Director.
After Webb's indictment was discovered, he was fired from the position.
On the morning of March 30, the 32-year-old American Saddlebred Champion Harlem Globetrotter passed away.
That morning, Harlem was led to his exercise paddock by Jesus Gonzalez, his long-time friend and caretaker of 30 years.
As was his daily routine, the black stallion trotted to his favorite spot, rolled onto the soft ground scratching his back and there he died peacefully.
At the age of two, "Harlem" arrived at Kalarama Farm after being purchased by Paul Hamilton.
Former Kentucky governor, and past president of St. Catharine College, Martha Layne Collins was on the SCC campus last week to give a presentation during a Women's History event.
Collins talked about the challenges she faced as Kentucky's first female governor and how the political climate has changed since she left office.
One of television's most popular shows is coming to Kentucky, and with the right tip, possibly even Washington County.
The hosts of the popular History Channel show American Pickers -- Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz -- are planning a road trip to Kentucky next week, but they're still looking for places to visit.

24 hours in Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain translate to six hours in real life. This was announced on the Kojima Productions Alert 4, the official podcast of the studio. It was already announced a while ago that the next installment in the saga would feature real time, but how exactly it would work wasn't clear - until today.
I was so surprised to see this title at MS conference at E-3. Good move Konami and Kojima.
It's multiplat and Gen,probably will end up on PC too. What differnece does it make which conference it's shown at?

Qatar's big budget answer to anti-Islam film? $1 billion Prophet Mohammed movie
A movie series on the life of Prophet Mohammed with a budget of $1 billion has been planned by a Qatar-based firm, AFP news agency reported on Tuesday.
Alnoor Holding has said it will raise the budget for the planned production to $1 billion from the $1.5 million announced three years ago.
The company said the film will be in English and will be translated into several different languages "to correct the wrong image Western societies have of Islam."
The biopics will be produced as a series of "seven films -- instead of three films as per an earlier announcement -- with a total budget of $1 billion," Alnoor chairman Ahmed Al-Hashemi said in a statement.
The company said "the team of experts has finished writing the scenario after overcoming numerous artistic and dramatic challenges."
Alnoor announced in 2009 that it was seeking financing for the film series, to be produced by Barrie Osborne, a Hollywood veteran of more than 40 years whose credits include Lord of the Rings and The Matrix.
The Prophet himself will not appear in the films, out of respect for Islamic traditions forbidding images of him.
Prominent Qatar-based Sunni cleric Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, head of the Association of Muslim Scholars, will lead research on the film and serve as technical consultant on the project.
Earlier this year, a U.S.-produced low-budget movie called Innocence of Muslims that mocked Prophet Mohammed triggered a wave of deadly anti-U.S. violence around the Islamic world.
In recent months, an Egyptian campaign to defend Islam's Prophet was launched under the title "Knock on Doors," which aims mainly to collect one billion Egyptian pounds ($165 million), local Egyptian media reported.
Meanwhile, in the United Arab Emirates, an event in Dubai part of global campaign named "The True Message of the Prophet," involving a group of young Muslims offering roses with a message of "peace and good manners" inspired by the sayings of Prophet Mohammed.

UCLA football's season opener is still two weeks away, but head coach Jim Mora is already in midseason form when deflecting questions — particularly ones that probe too far ahead.
"I don't care to talk about it. I don't care about it," he said Saturday afternoon, after the Bruins ended two weeks of training camp at Cal State State San Bernardino. "It's not in the equation for me right now. All I care about is getting better tomorrow than we were today. That's all that matters to this football team."
He was talking specifically about the inaugural College Football Playoff, for which UCLA has become a popular dark-horse candidate, but the answer may as well apply to any other preseason hype, from all the extra cameras poking around practices to the two Sports Illustrated covers quarterback Brett Hundley has collected in the last three weeks.
And now, to the Bruins' placement in the preseason Associated Press poll.
When UCLA opens its season at Virginia on Aug. 30, it will do so at No. 7 in the country, its highest preseason ranking since 1998.
Sixteen years ago, the Bruins were also slotted as the seventh-best team in college football. They finished that year ranked No. 8 in the final AP poll, and were undefeated until season-ending losses at Miami and to Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl Game — the last time the team played a postseason game in its home stadium.
UCLA is also ranked above USC — which is slotted at No. 15 — in back-to-back preseason polls, something that hasn't happened since 1998 and 1999.
Last season, the Bruins opened at No. 21 while the Trojans were No. 24. The crosstown rivals finished the year ranked 16th (UCLA) and 19th (USC).
UCLA has beaten USC two straight years. After last season's 35-14 win at the Coliseum, Mora stood outside the locker room and bellowed to his team, "We own this town!"
The Trojans eventually replaced interim coach Ed Orgeron by hiring former USC assistant Steve Sarkisian away from Washington.
The Trojans' new head coach took the same tack when asked about the preseason poll.
"It's totally irrelevant," Sarkisian said. "I've never talked to them once about it. I'm not even sure what the polls are for. People love looking at them, but for our day-to-day activities it's irrelevant."
Defending national champion Florida State, which returns Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston at quarterback, is ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP poll and received 57 first-place votes. The Seminoles are followed by Alabama, Oregon and Oklahoma, which each received a first-place vote.
The No. 3 Ducks were voted last month as media favorites to beat UCLA for the conference title. The Pac-12 Championship Game will be Dec. 5 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
Three other Pac-12 teams are ranked in the preseason AP poll. Two-time defending conference champion Stanford is ranked No. 11. Defending Pac-12 South champion Arizona State is ranked No. 19, but lost nine starters from a defense that helped it to the country's seventh-best turnover margin last season.
Washington, which replacedd Sarkisian with former Boise State head coach Chris Petersen, is No. 25 in the poll.

New Missoula Scam Impersonates Local Police, Tempts With Publisher's Clearing House Winnings
Missoula law enforcement officials are warning the public about a new scam that pretends to involve the FBI, the Missoula Police Department, and the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes.
"A male contacted a local resident claiming to be with the FBI," said Missoula Police Detective Sergeant Travis Welsh. "He was talking with her about a reward that she had allegedly received from Publisher's Clearing House and, apparently, explained to her that that would require a financial obligation on her part."
On Monday, January 13, the woman received another call.
"She was informed that local law enforcement would be contacting her to verify this information for her," Welsh said. "Subsequent to that, a short time later, she did receive a phone call from another male that identified himself, by name, as a Missoula Police Officer. He actually used a real identity."
The scam target and her family members went straight to the police to see if the story was real, but the officer whose identity had been used, knew nothing of the sweepstakes.
Welsh said that the incident is another important reminder that the public should not give out sensitive information over the phone.

Atlantic Coast Championship Results
Near-Windless Weekend Causes Headaches In Annapolis
Annapolis, Md. -- The Bulldogs' fall 2010 campaign is in the history, inking an eighth place finish at the Atlantic Coast Championship into the record books. The regatta faced calm conditions that made sailing nearly impossible, though the race committee was able to complete 16 races over two days.
Racing out of the U.S. Naval Academy, the majority of college sailing's top teams met on Saturday to vie for the ACCs, the top event of the fall season. With the exception of Stanford, the top-20 rankings are held entirely by Atlantic Coast schools so the event is a strong indicator of the likely completion at the ICSA national championship in the spring. Yale qualified for the event based on its seventh place finish at the Schell Trophy two weeks ago.
Junior Joseph Morris and senior Blair Belling led A division for the Bulldogs. The pair recorded a win in race two, but was hamstrung by three deeper finishes late Saturday. Freshman Chris Segerblom started the regatta in B division alongside senior Elizabeth Brim. Segerblom and Brim notched top finishes of second and third. On Sunday, sophomore Cameron Cullman substituted in for Segerblom in race seven, and scored a fifth in race eight, the final race of the weekend. The Bulldogs finished eighth overall in an extremely close regatta, and Georgetown took the win.
The wind proved fickle all weekend, forcing two major postponements. When the wind did fill, it was between three and six knots. Luckily, breathless conditions have been unusual this fall, a season the typically loses at least half of the September regattas to lack of wind. With Thanksgiving now just around the corner, the Bulldogs will enjoy some well-earned rest and relaxation before the spring season begins in February.

Recipe: Romkugler (rum flavour chocolate treats)
October 14, 2014 | Leave a comment
Back in the day, the Danish bakers needed to find a use for all the left over Danish pastry, seeing as they could never sell it on the second day. And thus, Romkugler (literally: Rum balls) were born.
Danes will often tell you this is one of those treats they miss most from home (in Sweden they are known as Arrakballs). We all used to pop by the bakers on the way home from school and get a few of these cheap but delicious treats. Its a taste of our childhood.
So, to make these, you need some leftover bits of cake and pastry. When we made some today, we used 2 cinnamon Danish whirls, 2 raspberry crowns and 1 cinnamon bun. But you can use different things (although we have found that French croissants and pain au chocolate don't work as well).
Blitz the day old pastries in a food processor, then add 2 tablespoons of raspberry jam, 2 heaped tablespoons cocoa powder and then 2 tablespoons of rum essence (you can also use real rum, but because these are not cooked, the flavour will be strong and the alcohol will not evaporate).
Blend everything together until you have a smooth mass, then shape into golf ball sized pieces. Roll in chocolate sprinkles or desiccated coconut. Chill for a bit – and serve.
We recommend eating the day you make these, but they are probably good the day after, too. Its unlikely to be an issue, though… They usually don't last the day as they are very moorish.

If talking to an IBCLC will ease your mind, then you should definitely call.
My son has had a couple viral infections that have produced very fouls smelling stools with odd consistencies. If there is no fever then there may not be an infection or if there is one, it may be very minor and clear pretty easily.
Travel can be pretty stressful and disruptive to the digestive system. Have his nursing patterns changed significantly since you've been gone? That could be related as well.
If your baby seems otherwise okay, then it's probably nothing major. Even if it is oversupply, it's not a problem unless it is causing you problems (e.g. plugged ducts) or him problems (e.g. painful gas).

"I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him alot."
- Marilyn Monroe
We have talked about what kind of shoes you should never wear in the office and why you need to be able to actually walk in your shoes (some of us are just never going to be Carrie Bradshaw. I'm still getting over it) but are there shoes that could actually help your career?
Kat Griffin, founder of the fashion work blog Corporette, told The Grindstone sporting a Birkin bag at work when your 25 may not be the best strategy but a pair of Christian Louboutin heels could make a different impact. She told us;
"I think it really comes down to the paycheck. You can't afford the $10,000 Birkin purse in one paycheck. That shows you're depending on other people for other money. This makes you get taken less seriously. It really shows your priority questioning side. Louboutins can run for as low as $600 so you could do that with a few paychecks."
Is it possible that a pair of Louboutins can make you look career savvy and financially responsible? Those shoes may be more magical then the ones Cinderella wore. The shoes show you want to look good and sophisticated but you aren't going to break the bank to do it. It also shows that you can save enough to buy something on the expensive side and still manage to clothe and feed yourself, which makes you seem like you are in control of your finances. Kat further expanded on this paycheck/fashion purchase theory on her blog:
"Does it shout "I'm not here for the money" the same way a Birkin bag does? To me, a $600 pair of shoes and a $10,000 bag are in entirely different leagues. I suppose my rule would be that if you can buy it in one paycheck, it's appropriate for any woman of any level. My guess is that Reader J can swing a $600 pair of shoes in one paycheck given that she works at a bank — my answer might be different for the unpaid intern. (But even then I see so many teenagers walking around with Louis Vuitton bags (which generally cost around $1000)…)"
Shoes can also literally help your career. Career coach Marty Nemko wrote about shoe obsession disorder being a major benefit. He said women buy conversation-starting shoes which can be a great ice breaker for networking, as long as they aren't too weird (like Mrs. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus series weird.) If they cost a lot you can talk about that and if they didn't cost a lot you can talk about that. New research suggests that people can correctly judge 90% of a stranger's personality just by looking at their shoes. "Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers," according to a research paper titled "Shoes as a Source of First Impressions." "Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."

BABSON PARK, Mass. – In a back-and-forth battle, host Babson College emerged with a 5-4 victory over MIT in the NEWMAC field hockey opener for both squads on Saturday afternoon. Junior Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) registered a hat-trick while senior Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.) added one goal and two assists for the Engineers (5-2, 0-1 NEWMAC).
Duffy opened up the scoring 1:25 into the contest when she took a pass from sophomore Elizabeth Dethy (Morristown, N.J.) following a penalty corner and deposited a shot inside the left post. Junior Morgan Lockwood (Feeding Hills, Mass.) evened the score just over six minutes later as her diving shot got past charging goalie Jenna Klein (Parma, Ohio.) and was followed by a strike from sophomore Caroline Malone (Walpole, Mass.) which put the Beavers ahead, 2-1, in the 12th minute.
The Engineers generated the next three shots but they were all off the mark as Babson controlled play during the remainder of the half. Klein turned away three shots while the defense thwarted five penalty corners helping the Cardinal and Gray stay close as the first half concluded.
The defensive battle ended five minutes into the second stanza courtesy of senior Kelly Walsh (Gardner, Mass.). McShane responded by setting up Duffy in the 44th minute and then buried a rebound off save to tie the score at three with just over 21 minutes left to play. Babson regained the lead in the 54th minute when Walsh tipped in a shot at the left post following a scramble in front of the net. However, it was shortlived as a turnover by the Beavers was brought up the field by McShane who found Duffy for her third tally of the day with 10:25 remaining.
Babson capitalized on Walsh's redirection to the right post which resulted in a 5-4 edge in the 63rd minute. MIT then put three shots on goal during the final three minutes of play but goalie Kayla Florence (Milton, Mass.) denied McShane with a pair of pad saves and made a sprawling stop on a bid by senior Kimberly Barker (Camden, N.Y.) with 47 seconds to go.
Klein finished the day with four saves while Florence produced all six of her saves in the second half. The Beavers recorded a 17-15 edge in shots and had a 9-3 advantage in penalty corners.
Following its five-game roadtrip, MIT returns to Cambridge for the first of four home games beginning with non-conference foe Nichols College on Wednesday, Sept. 19.
