Breastfeeding Essentials By: Shari Criso
"This stuff is truly Heaven sent! I just gave birth to my baby last month and have been pumping exclusively due to latching issues. I pump every 3 hours and due to pumping so much, my nipples became EXTREMELY sore and sensitive to the touch. It got to the point where I would cringe when it was time for me to pump because the suction just made my nipples hurt so bad! That's when I remembered I had this nipple butter and decided to put it on before pumping to see if it would make a difference. Well, did it ever! I couldn't believe something so simple virtually eliminated all my pain with just one application! As another reviewer mentioned, the product does get a little beady, at times, but I've found it just melts like butter after rubbing it in a little more.
I now lather this stuff on before and after each pumping session and the pain has not returned. Thank you for making this product -- you literally helped me continue feeding my baby! I hope this product never gets discontinued! " Sara
"I love this product! Breast feeding was hard for me at first, and lanolin was just not working, so I tried this and bam! The open wounds and cracks on my nipples started healing! I have also recently discovered that it works great on baby's skin, my daughter is sucking her thumb raw and one application of the butter helped with the chapping and it's nice and smooth again, with just one application! I recommend this product to all my new mama friends, and check out the baby bottom balm too!" Sara
"Nipple butter cured my chicagoland dry cracked bloody hands over night. I was truly amazed by the results!!!" Michelle
"Didn't really do the job for me I loved the natural ingredients" aloha
"I absolutely love this product! I received it as a gift from a friend who swears by it. When I first began nursing I had blistering, cracking, scabbing, bleeding, etc. I started using the cream after a few days of agony without it and as soon as I began using it I saw amazing improvements! I would have switched to formula if it wasn't for the nipple butter.
Most recently my son, now six months has been getting a drool rash on his face. Used the Nipple Butter on his raw bright red face last night and he woke up with smooth cheeks and no redness. This is a miracle product!" Patricia
"I love this product and have recommended it to all of my soon-to-be new mom friends. I had started using a 100% lanolin product but had to thoroughly wash it off just to get my son to want to feed. He gagged and refused to eat with the lanolin one... I was ready to give up on breast feeding because of the pain and sore nipples until my mother in law found the Earth Mama nipple butter for me. I loved it instantly. I thought it felt better on my nipples and my son didn't (and still doesn't) have a problem with it being on when he feeds. My problems with nipple pain was soon gone after using the nipple butter. This will always be part of any baby gift I give now!" Kaley
"I just have to share: I have a tub of the nipple butter leftover from when my now 10-month-old was brand new. I have a horrendous cold right now and have been blowing my nose non-stop, so it's raw. Put some of the butter on it last night before bed and it feels 100% better today! Have also been using it on my kids' faces, which are chapped from smearing runny noses. Thank you for a great product with many different uses!" Ehlane
"I have eczema on my face and have been using petroleum based ointment for a while now. I'm super sensitive and nervous to try anything else (I've had a lot of bad reactions) Well, after using your nipple cream on the designated area, and on my little ones dry patches, I decided to give it a try on my face and it is fantastic!!!! I don't know why I didn't try it sooner. I'm throwing the other garbage out :0) thank you for making products that are not only safe but very effective for our whole family!" Sarah
"I bought a jar of nipple butter and thought it was the greatest stuff in the world ! I use it to put on my sore nipples as well as to lubricate pumping flanges (fantastic) ! Since I mostly have to pump I go through a jar super quick. When I purchased a new jar I noticed that it has all these beads of stuff in it ! I brought it back to the store where they informed me that is just how it can be . They confirmed with and email from Earth Mama. They told me just to keep rubbing it would go away . Well first off keep rubbing .. Ouch and what makes this stuff so great is how you can just put it on in the mist of being mommy. Second , the beads do not dissolve , they keep clumping together. I tried rubbing between my fingers , same result . So I am disappointed that there is no product standard in terms of product texture . Plus now I am out 15.99 for a jar that is so hard to use . So my advice is look before you buy, if it has the white beads try another store with a different shipment . Look for the butter like texture." Nicole
Earth Mama replies:
Oh no, Nicole! That's not OK! Please know that all Earth Mama products are guaranteed, because we want you to be happy. So if you ever have a problem, especially if it is not solved by one of our retailers, we want to hear about it. While it is true that the organic shea butter does huddle together when the product gets cold, and it usually just melts back into its wonderful, buttery self, if that is not your experience you should not be out $15.99. We hope you will give Customer Care a call. XO
"Awesome! Smells great and works great! Used for more than just nipples...cheeks dry spots and lips! Thank you." Sarah
"It painlessly takes gum out of your hair! My little one got into my purse while I was cooking dinner and helped herself to a few pieces of gum. She got it in her hair, so I though I would give it a try. Worked quickly & like a charm! We have many uses for Nipple Butter around here I have never tried it for it's intended use because I found it after my daughter stopped breast feeding, but it works great for chapped little teething cheeks & lips too." Jennifer
"This is a great product. I had no interest in using a product containing lanolin. I didn't want it on me and certainly not my new baby. After doing some research, I chose this product and it's wonderful." Brandi
"I was given your Natural Nipple Butter as a gift from my sister and I love it! I just had my first baby and experienced severely cracked nipples during the first month of breastfeeding. Paired with an agonizing bout of mastitis, no less. I was in horrible pain. I would use your Nipple Butter religiously with moist heat compresses and it helped speed up my healing process. Thank you!" Lauren
"I have to tell you, I stumbled on your company via the dairy fairy, and I'm eternally grateful! I bought your nipple butter and new mama bottom spray. I just welcomed my second child, a girl, Sunday, he was 8lb 13oz and I suffered a second degree tear, I started using the spray as soon as I was able to get up, I have to say my stitches are not at all noticeable! I'm sore as expected but I don't have the throbbing I had with the tear I had from DS, I also don't have the tightness and pain, I swear it's all from the spray. But my real miracle has been the nipple butter! Dd has an aggressive latch that was causing a bit of blistering and bruising, I applied the nipple butter and 3 hours later- at her very next feeding!- I noticed the blisters and bruising were completely gone!! Unbelievable, the nipple butter has allowed me to be patient with my daughter and help her learn to latch properly and I truly attribute our success, including me surviving 3 hours and 15 mins of cluster feeds (non-stop!!) last night to the nipple butter! Thank you!!!!!"Ann-Marie
"Best product ever!!!!! My son was born prematurely at 31 weeks, so I had to express my milk manually for the first few days to get my milk going and increase production to be able to pump. I really wanted to give him my milk since it's the best thing for premature babies. Since it's my first child, expressing manually my milk was a real challenge and I have minimal support at the hospital. I took the nipple butter to help my fingers glide better on my nipples and it worked like a charm without pain!! It almost felt like a massage and in no time, my milk was coming out. If it wasn't of the nipple butter, I don't think I would have achieve this by myself. Thank you!!!!" Nathalie
"I like this, but it has these bead things in it, and I've looked everywhere online to find out what it is! Ive tried to rub them together so they can melt, but it's been unsuccessful. The beads just stay on my nipple, or my sons cheeks, etc. what Israel these and can you get rid of them??" Tristi
Earth Mama replies:
Hi Tristi. The white specks are actually shea butter. When shea butter is cold, it solidifies. When it is warmed by contact with your skin, it should quickly melt and become a soft consistency again. And it works just as well, all the herbal goodness intact! BUT we stand by all of our products, and if it's not melting then you need to contact Customer Care so she can make it alllll better!
"I found another use for your nipple butter. I kept getting nose bleeds from the dry winter, and it was uncomfortable to breathe through my nose at night because I was so dry. The nipple butter was sitting on my nightstand, and I was like--what the heck, I'll give it a shot. I coated my pinky finger with the stuff and coated the inside of my nose. I slept much, much more comfortably. Hoping this tip brings relief to mucous membranes around the world. :)" Maret
"This is also great for eczema patches. On a whim, I applied it to my toddler son's cheeks and it worked great. I apply it a few times a day and his cheeks are clear and soft again. Thank you!" Lidia | Biz Mama
"Natural Nipple Butter is amazing! It's non-sticky and it smells great. I was very sore and cracking often during my breastfeeding experience. The Lanolin cream was very sticky and didn't make my problem any better. When I switched to the Natural Nipple Butter my issue was resolved." Leah
"Sitting in the birth center, nursing my new baby, and just wanted to give a shout out to your Natural Nipple Butter! This stuff is AMAZING! So easy to apply, all natural, smells heavenly, and doesn't affect baby at all :D! It affects me though, and oh so positively at that! Nursing a new babe is hard work for both mom and baby, and this makes things easier and more enjoyable. Thanks EMAB ♥!" Brittney
"Nipple butter isn't only for sore nipples....
About three weeks ago my son started to form a rash around his mouth and on his cheeks. I wasn't sure what was causing it but we had introduced solids a few weeks before. At first I thought it was a food allergy but we only introduced one veggie at a time and we hadn't introduced anything new for awhile. After thinking about it I thought it may have been the paper towels we were wiping his mouth with. I came to Earth Mama Angel Baby's Facebook and asked if they could recommend anything to help with the rash. They recommended the Nipple Butter so I ordered some. As we were waiting for it to come (very fast shipping by the way) bumps began to appear on his outer calves. I was really concerned now. I prayed my son didn't have eczema and took him to see his pediatrician. The pediatrician said he just had sensitive skin and to "lube him up".
We received the Nipple Butter and after using it for two days my son's face is completely cleared!! The redness cleared up after using it the first day and this morning the roughness is gone! I know that this product is called Nipple Butter but it needs to be known that it has other uses too and it really works! It's 100% safe and very effective. Thank you Earth Mama Angel Baby, again you came to my rescue! :o)" Brieanne
"I really, really wanted to love this stuff. It smells and tastes great, goes on smoothly, and works fabulously to heal any dry, cracked skin. But, it also contains olive oil which quickly left permanent stains on my new nursing bra and any other clothing item it touched. The greasy ring highlighting my nipples wasn't really a look I was going for. I'm loving it as a lip balm, but for my nipples I'm afraid I have to stick with the lanolin." Katherine
"I used natural nipple butter while breast feeding my daughter, she's 2 now and we're expecting another LO in June. I was so disappointed my local babies r us stopped carrying these products. I'll be buying this time directly from the site. Thanks for creating such wonderful natural products!" Kim
"I do not usually write testimonials or reviews, BUT, I had to today. My baby girl has had a rash on her cheeks since NOVEMBER. Three visits to the Dr, endless creams, ointments, steroids (eek!) and I finally read on your Facebook page that I could use the nipple butter on chapped raw skin. Last year, this month, I won a HUGE box of THE. MOST. AMAZING stuff ever, from you. All year it has served me so well, feeding and cleaning, and clothing and moisturizing, and loving my baby girl. But I never had nipple problems from breast feeding, so I never used the nipple butter. I had a full tub, and last week I decided to give it a try. My 14 month old hates anything put on her face, but no problem with the nipple butter! She LOVES it. not only that , but the rash went away. Gone. We already had an appointment with a dermatologist, so we went today. But there was little to see, except healing skin. He said the rash was from drool. I was afraid he would recommend more steroids. I showed him the nipple butter, and he said, "Perfect!" He said he would normally recommend a gasoline based ointment, but the nipple butter had great stuff in it and was great for my daughter's face, use it regularly. Thank you for the amazing package I won last year from Organic University. It has been a God send to me and my family. I love your products, and I tell all who will listen about how great they are! I gift them, and I use them daily. Thank you so much! Peace," Gabrielle
"This has to be one of the best. products. ever! I am a first time mom and had no clue what to expect when it came to nursing. I just knew that is what I was going to do! :) My hospital gives all the mommy's nipple butter and bottom spray. It was my first introduction to Earth Mama Angel Baby products. The Nipple Butter helped keep my nipples pain free! Now 10 months later I still use it to help when I am chapped after pumping sessions or for her red cheeks from teething!!" Kathleen
"I am a naturopath and first-time mom. Like most new moms, I began getting blisters and nipple cracking on day one of nursing. Lanolin was recommended by a lactation consultant, but knowing the reactions some children can have to sheep-derived products, I opted not to use. Instead, our midwife suggested Natural Nipple Butter. Within a day, I saw a difference. My nipples were noticeably less sore. The cracked skin was healing. It hurt a lot less to nurse. And the stuff tastes good--to baby and me! Just wanted to share my thoughts. This is a good product." Teresita
"I have super sensitive skin and I actually use Natural Nipple Butter on the sides of my nose. For some reason, the skin around my nose is quick to become red and irritated. Natural Nipple Butter does the trick!" Toni
"This stuff is the best!! My newborn son was nursing just fine on my left side, but having a hard time latching well on the right side. The result was a very painful, cracked & bleeding right nipple. It got to the point where it would scab up and stick to my nursing pad and I certainly couldn't nurse on that side. So, enter the nipple butter! I pumped on that side for about 4 days and used Natural Nipple Butter a few times a day (it was soothing, kept my nursing pad from sticking to me painfully & helped me heal) and was able to resume nursing regularly. I had used the lanolin cream in the hospital but it didn't work well and I hated the idea of putting that in my baby's mouth. Natural Nipple Butter smells great, feels great and i can leave it on when I nurse. It's also great on my cuticles & chapped lips. Both nipples are now in good shape but I will continue to use my nipple butter to keep it that way! :)" Emili
"No other breastfeeding cream can compare with the natural goodness of EMAB's Natural Nipple Butter! It "udderly" saved my nipples in the first few weeks of breastfeeding. It glides on gently, leaves no sticky residue, and I never worried about my daughter ingesting it (because really, who wants to wipe anything off such a tender area during those first few weeks of marathon breastfeeding?! Ouch!) And BONUS-- despite the fact that I was in my jammies looking rather slovenly, I at least smelled rather delicious and chocolatey, courtesy of Natural Nipple Butter. Definitely a must-have for all breastfeeding mamas!" Katie
"I just have to say that this stuff is amazing. It saved my bacon, or at the very least my nipples. As a first time mother and breast feeder I had no idea what to expect, so after three days of breast feeding my newborn girl (who is now almost 4 weeks old) my nipples were sore, cracked, bleeding and I felt that I would be better off without them entirely. I sent my husband to the store to get something to put on the, but I wanted something that was natural and safe for the baby as well as hassle-free (didn't want to have to take the time to wash it off before every feeding). After my hubby went to 3 different stores, he stumbled across Earth Mama's nipple butter and brought it home. Within 24 hours of use after every feeding, my nipples felt human again. Now I also am using it on my chapped elbows (from having to lean on them during feedings, etc). This stuff is totally awesome and I plan to get it as part of every baby gift I give to my pregnant friends :)" Elizabeth
"My DD and I were having trouble breastfeeding from the beginning, and I was ready to give up. My nipples had cracks and gouges in them so deep, I couldn't wear a bra, let alone a shirt. After trying three types of Lanolin creams, Jack Newman's Nipple Ointment, another prescription cream AND eucerine glycerine water on my sore nipples, I was desperate to heal my nipples. I happened to visit a baby store near where I live to pick up Earth Mama's Milkmaid Tea (another product which I LOVE), I happened to notice the Natural Nipple Butter on the shelf as well. I figured there was no harm in trying yet another cream to try and heal my nipples, and after applying it just once, I noticed a MAJOR difference! This Natural Nipple Butter is AMAZING - it goes on so smooth, smells great, is safe for baby and isn't sticky! And what's also great about this stuff, is that you can use it on chapped lips, dry skin etc! I give this product two happy nipples up! I LOVE it, and it is a must have for any breastfeeding Mama!" Melissa
"I love this stuff. I use it for my children's bums, cracked skin, scraped skin (helps keep scabs soft and seems to have lessened the scar), and in a pinch hair gel so my kids hair didn't stick up. ;-)" Kirsten
"I love the Natural Nipple Butter because it is easy to apply and leaves my skin feeling smooth between feedings; it's not sticky or hard to put on like lanolin. My baby has a voracious appetite and the nipple butter certainly protects me from her forceful latching (I can tell if I forget to use it!) It also helps heal my wintertime cracked lips and splits on my dry hands very quickly." Colleen
"I purchased Natural Nipple Butter before I had my baby. I put it on everyday for a month before she was born. After she was born I just kept slathering it on! My nipples never cracked or blistered and my Midwives could not believe the state of my nipples after 1 week of breastfeeding. I even put it on my daughter's lips to soften up her nursing blisters! I love the way it feels, and smells. I even use it on dry patches of skin on my elbows and on my cuticles overnight! Thank you Mama!" Erin
"I love this product! Not only for myself but for my infant too. I've used it on our lips when it's dry out and on dry skin parts. I love it so much that I buy one for every new mama because that's how much I believe in the product to show them how great it is :)" Davy
"I absolutely love this product. I discovered after the birth of my first daughter. All I had know of previously was yucky, sticky lanolin. We had latch issues and I had very sore nips so I started looking for something else - something better. I found your Natural Nipple Butter in a little boutique in Loveland, CO. I tried it and loved it. It worked so much better than lanolin and smelled and felt delightful. I have used it with all my babies and am on nursling number four." Amy
"It's taken me a while to find a nipple butter or cream that I would attempt to use. I'm very particular about products that my babies will ingest and that will go on my body. When I needed something to move me through the first few weeks of nursing, I found this product. It's been AMAZING! I am thankful for the peace of mind, knowing that it's safe for my baby, and I can't tell you how soothing it's been! Thank you, yet again, EMAB, for another great product!" Kristan
"It took a few days for my newborn and I to get the hang of breastfeeding, and by the time we did, I was bruised and my nipples were cracked and bleeding. As a vegan, I didn't want to use lanolin and was so happy that EMAB had a vegan nipple butter. It went on not too greasy and smelled delicious! I healed a lot faster than I would have without it and it was so soothing to put on my sore nipples. As a bonus, when it rubbed off on my daughter's cheeks while she was breastfeeding, it helped with her dry newborn skin!" Melissa
"I like the Natural Nipple Butter - unlike lanolin, it goes on smooth and easy, no mess. It also has many other practical uses, many of which I am still discovering. I would recommend this to any nursing mother." Lydia
"I sure wish I would have known about the Natural Nipple Butter when I was breastfeeding my first child! I was having horrible issues with dried and cracked nipples and ended up having to exclusively pump. It wasn't the route I had intended to go, but I was able to give my son breastmilk for over 8 months this way until it was getting to be too cumbersome pumping at work. I am now pregnant with my second child and have been using the nipple butter when I get out of the shower to keep my nipples in excellent shape until the baby arrives. I'm confident, by taking good care of my nipples ahead of time, that I will be able to breastfeed my second child with more comfort and potentially will be able to nurse him for as long as we both would like. Thank you for producing a non-toxic nipple butter that glides on easily, does not stain any of my bras, and genuinely soothes dry and irritated skin!" Beth
"I love all of the EMAB products that I've used.. It makes me feel good knowing that what I put on myself and my baby is 100% safe, especially Natural Nipple Butter because it's going IN my baby as well!" Cristin
"I LOVE your Natural Nipple Butter! I use it every time I nurse my son and I've never had sore or cracked nipples - it's so soothing. My little guy is always scratching his face with his sharp little finger nails - I put natural nipple butter on the scratches and they heal in no time... I've also used it for cradle cap and my eczema. It is my favourite product and I recommend it to all my breastfeeding friends! I've started trying other EMAB products and so far I've loved them all, but the nipple butter is still my favourite!" Laura
"We love the natural nipple butter in our house! It helped me immensely when my baby was first born and my nipples were sore and cracked. Just this morning my baby bit me and drew blood, and the first thing I reached for is my jar of nipple butter. I even use it on my baby for anything and everything, including drool rash, dry patches of skin, and in a pinch as diaper ointment. I feel safe using it around my baby's face because it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients and can be ingested. We keep a few jars around the house and in the diaper bag!" Jacqueline
"Estoy amamantando a mi 2do bebé y doy gracias a Dios por esta crema, es realmente excelente, con mi primer hijo tuve muchos problemas para darle pecho (y cero apoyo) pero esta vez me informé bien acerca de cómo debía hacerlo y de tanto buscar algo completamente natural y sobretodo que no necesitara enjuagarse encontré la Natural Nipple Butter. En este momento mi niña tiene 1 mes y medio, y le estoy dando solamente pecho. Este producto lo mejor que hay disponible en el mercado. Soy de Venezuela. Saludos! TRANSLATION: I am nursing my 2nd baby and I give thanks to God for this cream, it is really excellent. With my first son I had many problems breastfeeding (and zero support) but this time I researched and was looking for something completely natural that did not need to be rinsed off. I found the Natural Nipple Butter. At this moment my girl is 1 month and a half old, and I am only breastfeeding her. This product is the best thing available in the market. I am from Venezuela. Greetings!" Andrea
"Such a wonderful product! Natural Nipple Butter not only performs well, but it smells delicious. A little goes a long way, which is great. And best of all I LOVE knowing the fact that if my baby gets a little in her mouth I know it can't hurt her. Thanks Earth Mama!" Julie
"This was a life saver for me last fall! When my son was only a few weeks old, we discovered he and I both had thrush. It was, by far, my most difficult challenge associated with breastfeeding and I am so extremely proud of myself that we were able to tough it out (I had talked to 3 moms after that ordeal who said they stopped BF because of thrush).
When my son was born, I had bought the Medela lanolin to use for latch discomfort. A lactation consultant told me to stop using the lanolin immediately because thrush eats the lanolin and thrives (probably part of my problem to begin with). I then googled which nipple balms would be safe to use with thrush, found that EMAB is safe and immediately headed out to get some! It soothed my sore nipples in no time and soon after the thrush cleared up. I also used it frequently through the winter to combat dry skin and most recently to sooth my nipples after my son bit me with his new teeth. THANK YOU, EMAB! I am still BF my son who is now 8 1/2 months and plan to into toddlerhood, thanks to you! :)" Amanda
"Amazing stuff! As a new mom I had no idea what I was doing and started out with some *other brand* that did not soothe and ended up sticking to my cotton breast pads. Talk about painful! The Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter immediately eases the pain, isn't sticky and is safe for baby! LOVES!!!" Amy
"That's the product that saved my breastfeeding. It works so well that I didn't even have to use my whole jar: after about a week of protecting and repairing my newly abused nipples, said nipples where happy and healthy and didn't even need any kind of butter or cream. Another thing I love about Earth Mama's products: I can read and understand all the ingredients! How wonderful (and rare) is that? Thanks Earth Mama for helping with the challenges and joys of pregnancy and beyond!" Raphaelle
"This Natural Nipple Butter is the best out there. I had a very difficult time nursing my second child. It took us nearly 4 months to get the hang of it, and all through this time I dealt with cracked, bleeding and sore nipples. I was using Lansinoh until I was introduced to this nipple butter by a fellow breastfeeding mama. The nipple butter immediately soothed my nipples without that super greasy feeling, plus my baby didn't have any issues nursing with it on. I love that it's all organic and safe for my body and my baby. The nipple butter has seriously saved my nipples. LIFESAVER!" Danielle
"I absolutely love this product. It truly is essential. I have used the other lanolin cream, and I much prefer this one. It feels more soothing in addition to being moisturizing. I used it all the time at the beginning of breastfeeding, but now use it whenever I need it." Renee
"LOVE this product!!! It was so helpful when I started breastfeeding, and now I can use it for so many other things as well!" Yogamama
"I LOVE this more than anything else I tried! My daughters wouldn't latch on with anything lanolin, but no problems with this. Wish I would have discovered it sooner!" JC
"I love this stuff. I give it to all my new mom friends when I visit them in the hospital. Way better than Lanolin and way better for baby." Christi
"The Natural Nipple Butter is amazing stuff. I can't understand why anyone uses lanolin after trying this - its so much softer and gentle on sore nipples." Christy
"I was lucky and didn't have serious problems with my nipples but there was a week at the beginning where I had some decent sized scabs. I tried the stuff the hospital gave me but it made the scabs stick to my nursing pads (ouch!). The Natural Nipple Butter worked like a charm and did NOT cause anything to stick to anything else. I ended up giving jars to my expectant friends and they have all had only positive things to say about this stuff." Erin
"I LOVE Earth Mama Angel Baby products, but this is by far the best product that I've tried so far. I had my first child a couple of months ago and the Natural Nipple Butter has truly been a lifesaver. The best thing is you don't have to worry about your child getting any kind of chemical residue when it's time to nurse. I would pay twice the price. I have the small jar and I use it everyday. So far it has lasted me two months and I breastfeed all but two or three feedings a day. I highly recommend this product! You won't be disappointed." Christine
"I used this when I had my first son, and now that I'm on my second, I KNOW it's a necessity. It's great, got a great smell and feel to it, and it's also 100 percent safe for your baby. I never once had a breastfeeding issue, and passed it on to a friend who used it as well with her first child!" Kookin
"I'm a first time mom and have been breast feeding since day one. My baby boy is 3.5 months now and I am still breastfeeding him. While I was pregnant, a friend of mine who was breastfeeding her second child recommended Natural Nipple Butter. So prior to delivering my baby boy, I purchased this product so I would have it ready. I have been using it all this time. I use it every day throughout the day and it's soothing. I really like it and it works great! One container has lasted me 3 months. It goes a long way and it's worth the money. I definitely recommend it." PeppermintPatty
"I totally love the Natural Nipple Butter ,this is the only thing that I trust. I'm having another child and I'm ordering it again, will not use anything else...great product!" Pelai
"This Natural Nipple Butter is great, it worked wonders on my chapped nipples. It was way better than any other product I tried and so nice that its organic and vegan so I don't worry about it getting in my baby's mouth. It also works well on mommy's chapped lips." Allison
Your natural nipple butter is awesome! And I have found that is not just great for nipples, but for healing tattoos as well! I had a tattoo that was giving me fits during the healing process, and I tried everything to keep it moisturized. Nothing was working until I put your natural nipple butter on it, and then voila! It stayed moist and was all healed up within a few days. Amazing!
"I am so in love with your products!! I am so obsessed that I give your products to every mom I know. I get them hooked too. I am on my 2nd baby and I keep finding new reasons to love you. OK. I know this is getting creepy, but I really could not do without your products. I love that they are vegan and that they are safe for baby. I love that they are natural and they don't irritate my skin. In fact, my husband has patches of bad eczema and I got him hooked on the Angel Baby Bottom Balm. It works for his eczema like a charm. I call it magic in a jar. I use the Natural Nipple Butter for really dry patches of skin on my face in the winter or during really dry months. I can't say enough about your stuff. I just tried the Natural Stretch Oil and fell in love all over again. You guys are amazing. I bought the Booby Tubes today and can't wait to use them when my little bundle arrives. Goodbye rice bags!! Seriously, I would sell your product door to door. And I have a very high paying career. I love this stuff that much!! You guys are the best. I believe in this company more than I have any product in my life. Keep up the good work!!" Renee M.
"I just wanted to say thanks. I have been suffering for weeks with sore and cracked nipples (I was starting to have dreams about feeding my baby formula in desperation). I heard about your Natural Nipple Butter from a YouTube video on nursing essentials and I got your product today (4 hours ago). I have applied it twice and for the first time in weeks I was able to feed my baby with very little pain. I wish I could hug you. I will recommend your product to as many people as I can. Thank you so much." Maria N. Lexington, VA
"Thank you so much for your Natural Nipple Butter! My son would always spit up after the lanolin, so I was desperate for another option. Within one day I was already feeling so much better... I just wanted to say thank you! I will strongly recommend your product to all of my girlfriends." Tricia P.
"I can't stop raving about this product! I gave birth to our first child on 5/6/07, and was breastfeeding, but my nipples were feeling used and abused - I was using the thick, sticky Lansinoh stuff that was supposed to help them feel better, but all it seemed to do was make everything worse. Fortunately, my Midwife came to my rescue and gave me your Natural Nipple Butter - AHHHHH...relief and fast healing at last! Your Natural Nipple Butter is so gentle and promotes healing, and I am so glad my Midwife directed me to your products. I will definitely be loading up on a wide variety of them for our next baby! Thanks again!"
Devoted customer, Tiffany C. Enumclaw, WA
"Thank you so much. I just had a baby and my friend bought me your products and they worked wonderful! The lactation specialist at the hospital said she is going to order Natural Nipple Butter for all labor and delivery patients from now on because it worked so wonderfully! I really wish every pregnant or new mother knew about your products. I probably would have given up breastfeeding had it not been for your Nipple Butter. Thanks again."
Mona V. Port Orchard, WA
"After delivering my daughter, there was very little guidance regarding breastfeeding. I was really determined to breast-feed my child....so we practiced and practiced and practiced. Needless to say, my nipples did go through bootcamp. I used the combination of the Bosom Buddies and Natural Nipple Butter and they utterly saved me. I can see why it might be easy to give up breastfeeding when you don't have the proper encouragement and guidance. If I did not have your products to help soothe the area --the combo of exhaustion and being sore could have caused me to give up."
Heather Studio City
"Oh my gosh - if I didn't have the Natural Nipple Butter and the Booby Tubes, I would have given up on breastfeeding. Can we say OWWWWWW? My little precious girl thanks you SOOO much for those amazing products. " XO
"I love your Natural Nipple Butter! I felt it instantly interact with me, it didn't just feel as though it was soothing me it felt as though it was curing me."
Robin T. Burbank, CA
"I work in a hospital that delivers about 300 babies per month and I am the coordinator of lactation services there. I also manage a lactation boutique that is right on the labor and delivery floor and that is where we offer your products. I always recommend the Natural Nipple Butter instead of the lanolin products and am very happy with the results, as are my clients. Thanks again for making such a great product "
Pamela Holland BSEd, IBCLC Mary Telfair Women's Hospital Savannah, GA
"I just wanted to say how much I love your products. We are very conscious of the products we use for ourselves and our baby boy, and we love how earth friendly and body friendly you have made your products. We have used the Earth Mama Bottom Balm, New Mama Bottom Spray, Angel Baby Bottom Balm, Angel Baby Oil, Natural Nipple Butter and Natural Stretch Oil and find that all of these products are top of the line. I have recommended them to all of my friends with children. Not only are your products safe, but they are incredibly effective. Thank you for making high quality products that are perfect for our angel baby and his earth mama."
Jodi R. P. Castle Rock, CO
"My son Tristan and I absolutely adore your products - we use the Angel Baby Lotion, Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash and Natural Nipple Butter daily (I put this on his cradle cap and chapped cheeks, too)! Thanks for making such amazing, worry-free products for mama and baby :)" Marianne and Tristan
"I just wanted to send a huge thank you for such a wonderful product! I was given some of your Natural Nipple Butter as a gift after having my so was born a month early and had to spend a couple weeks in the NICU. We were not able to even hold him until he was 3 days old and he was finally given the ok to try nursing at 4 days old, he had problems with latching on but I was determined to not let that interfere with breastfeeding him. I nursed him when I could and pumped continuously to keep up my supply. He was doing well, but my poor nipples weren't! All the pumping left me cracked and sore, so when I tried to nurse him it was very painful. I came home from the NICU one night and found a package on my doorstep containing your Natural Nipple butter and a card from a friend who knew the problems I was having. I tried it that night and immediately felt relief! It was so soothing and silky going on, and my lil one didn't mind it at all! I use it after every feeding and have not had one bit of pain ever since! Thanks for such a wonderful product, without it I may have given up on breastfeeding my little guy!!" Leah and baby Anthony (now a healthy, active and happy exclusively breastfed 3 month old!)
"I just received the natural nipple butter and it is truly an amazing product! I have been living with the pain of sore, cracked, blistered (to the point where you could see the white blisters regularly) nipples for the past 11 months. I took all of the lactation counselor's advice and tried many combinations of treatments. After the first night of using your Natural Nipple Butter I could already feel a difference. Now, in just two days I have almost no pain!! I love that I don't have to worry about washing it off. Lanolin was always to rough and sticky for my liking. I have already recommended your products to friends. I love what your company believes in. Thank you for a great product and supporting mothers who choose to feed their children naturally!" Kristen

And the video uploaded by bulucette is stunning. this stays in rotation while I'm working. ironically, I always stop work to listen.

"I've purchased graduation announcements before from Tiny Prints. . The quality of paper and printed photos is excellent. I have no complaints.. Received the order very quickly. Everyone loved the announcement. My sister saw my son's card and decided to order announcements for her graduating senior as well. Website easy to use. Great experience."
"The only real problem with this card was trying to decide which design to use. The quality of the paper is very nice. It feels and looks expensive. Very easy to use as well. I love using Tiny Prints."
"I wanted a unique, simple card that would stand out from the sea of mini-collages typically used for graduation announcements. This design was exactly what I hoped to find! I used a black and white photo of my son as a young child on the cover, a color photo of my son as he is today (really handsome, as objective as only a mom can be) and as a surprise on the back of the card, included a tiny cap & gown headshot of my son when he graduated pre-K with a small caption "Proud Graduate of..." The technical customer support team was extremely helpful when I ran into a problem with one of the photos. In fact, credit goes to the customer service rep who suggested adding the little surprise photo on the back of the card. I received many compliments from family and friends on how much they loved the announcement. The highest praise came from the toughest critic...my son :)"
"I ordered graduation announcements for my sons open house. Tiny Prints had so many more unique designs to choose from. My son has a unique sense of style and Tiny prints had the perfect card to match his personality. The announcement was delivered prior to the delivery confirmation date. The quality was superb. I can't say enough about how happy I was with the order. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"I received many compliments from friends and family about the graduation announcement. Very quick turnaround time from when I submitted the announcement to when it arrived. I am very pleased with final product."

Dr. Don, We have a construction loan that we want
to convert to a permanent loan, but the rates offered by the lender are higher
than what we want to pay. We closed on the loan at the beginning of construction.
The lender charges a modification fee of $350 to change the loan to permanent
mortgage financing. -- Melissa Mortgages
Melissa, You have what's known as a construction-to-permanent loan.
The advantage of this type of loan is that there's only one loan application and
one loan closing. The idea is that the lender finances the construction of your
home, and when it's ready for occupancy, the loan is converted from a construction
loan to a mortgage.
You pay a price for that convenience. You
are a captive customer and don't have a lot of negotiating leeway when presented
with the interest rate on the permanent financing. Decisions about the loan term
and fixed vs. adjustable mortgages are made when you close on the loan prior to
construction. You're also assuming a financial risk that the house is well-built.
one-closing loan will typically be priced with interest rate locks that limit
the interest rate on the permanent loan. Alternately, the loan can have a float-down
option that will let the borrower take advantage of declining interest rates.
A float-down option can have an interest rate floor that limits how low the interest
rate can go.
If you can get a better rate by finding a new
lender, then refinancing can make sense. Whether or not you convert to permanent
financing before refinancing depends on how long a window you have before the
construction loan has to be converted.
If you can avoid paying
the $350 conversion fee, you can use the money toward closing costs on the refinancing.
Use Bankrate to shop
for the best rates in your market.
Review your loan
and any rate lock agreements to make sure there aren't any prepayment charges,
minimum loan term commitments or other charges or penalties. If there are, then
the decision to refinance becomes more complicated, and you should hire a real-estate
professional to help you evaluate the decision.
it's clear sailing on a refinancing, then use Bankrate's
refinancing calculator along with an estimate of the closing costs on the
new loan to determine how many months it will take for the monthly
savings to pay for the closing costs. (This is also known as the payback period.)
If you only plan on being in the house for a few years,
you shouldn't be willing to refinance with a loan that has a long payback period.

This is the first year for the program called 'Police Presents', which mirrors another effort by Riverbank police called 'Shop with a Cop.'
The aim of the program is to provide clothing and shoes and a gift from Santa to 15 or more underprivileged children in Patterson, according to Patterson Police Community Service Officer Melissa Hardy.
"We're hoping to get 15 to 20 kids on a list," she said. "We're going through schools, the Patterson Family Resource Center and contact with deputies. We're trying to get families that need it the most."
Deputies will pick the children up in a patrol or SWAT vehicle shortly after noon on December 20, and take the children on a shopping spree without their parents. After the spree, children will then be directed to Sacred Heart's Father Connor's Hall at 220 N. Salado Ave., Patterson for the pizza party with Santa, where they will join their parents.
The program is replacing an adopt-a-family program that the Patterson Police Services employees held last year. The Sheriff's employee foundation was unable to hold the program this year, Raschel Johnson, legal clerk for Patterson Police Services said.
"When we take them shopping we're not taking them shopping for toys," Johnson said. "We're taking them shopping for clothes jackets, socks and shoes — essential items."
Hardy said the look on the children's faces is priceless when they take them shopping.
"They're unbelievably excited about getting to pick their own stuff," she said.
Patterson Police Services is taking donations for the program and anyone wishing to participate or help sponsor someone is asked to call Johnson at 892-5071, option 4.
If you would like to nominate a child or children, please contact the child's school, the Patterson Family Resource Center at 11 Plaza, Patterson or any deputy on the street, Hardy said. Children 15 and under are eligible.
According to Johnson nominations need to be in by December 1 so the children can be selected.
• Contact Nick Rappley at 892-6187, ext. 31 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Canada's final 22-man roster for the 2012 World Junior Hockey Championship is finally set, as head coach Don Hay and Hockey Canada head scout Kevin Predergast made their last round of cuts on Wednesday morning.
Medicine Hat Tigers netminder Tyler Bunz and Louis Domingue of the Quebec Remparts were sent back to junior, leaving 2011 returnee Mark Visentin as the starting goaltender and Plymouth's Scott Wedgewood in the backup role.
On the blueline, Alex Petrovic of the Red Deer Rebels, Kitchener Rangers defenceman Ryan Murphy, Portland's Joe Morrow and Ottawa's Cody Ceci didn't make the final cut.
"I was kind of in a deep sleep," Petrovic said about the disappointing phone call early in the morning. "I had a little dream of actually waking up and making the team, but I got the call. Obviously, it's a heartbreak."
For Murphy, TSN hockey analyst Ray Ferraro thought there wasn't enough risk and there wasn't enough reward for him at camp.
"Murphy is a tremendously skilled puck mover - he's high risk and high reward," Ferraro said. "I don't know that he's 100 percent all the way back and in the final battle for the guy that's going to run the power-play and be the offensive minded defenceman, Nathan Beaulieu of Saint John of the Quebec League really stood out. If it came down to those two players, Beaulieu beat out Murphy."
Murphy was a 12th overall draft selection of the Carolina Hurricanes this year.
"It's pretty difficult," Murphy said. "Getting woken up at 6 a.m. is not the easiest thing and knowing it's you and not your roommate is also not an easy thing. I'll be back next year maybe and hopefully make the team then."
With no returning players from last year's squad on the blue line, Canada's defence will consist of newcomers Mark Pysyk, Nathan Beaulieu, Jamie Oleksiak, Scott Harrington, Ryan Murray, Dougie Hamilton and Brandon Gormley.
"Most of these players have played at other high level events through Hockey Canada's programs in the past," Ferraro said. "I think they feel that their defending style will be good enough. I have to believe that at some point in the tournament you'll wish you had an experienced guy, you just don't."
Ottawa 67s winger Tyler Toffoli, Portland Winterhawks Brad Ross and Ty Rattie, Michigan winger Phil Di Giuseppe, Christian Thomas of the Oshawa Generals, Victoriaville's Phillip Danault and Brett Bulmer of the Kelowna Rockets were among the forwards sent home on Wednesday morning.
"I was a little surprised that Phillip Danault was released. I thought he had a camp that got stronger as the days went on and thought he'd be in the mix for that final forward spot," said Ferraro.
Danault is 18 years old and will have another chance to make the team next year.
"I'm cut but I respect their decision," said Danault, who scored twice in an exhibition game. "If they win the gold medal, I'll respect it more for sure."
Heading up the team's forward unit will be three returning players, Brett Connolly, Quinton Howden and Jaden Schwartz. Joining the trio will be Devante Smith-Pelley who was released by the Anaheim Ducks to play for Canada and Mark Scheifele, who was selected seventh overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Ottawa Senators prospect Mark Stone is on the club along with two prospects from the Montreal Canadiens, Michael Bournival and Brendan Gallagher. Ryan Strome, Boone Jenner, Jonathan Huberdeau and Freddie Hamilton are also with the team. Freddie and Dougie Hamilton become the first brothers to play for the Canadian team since Randy and Mike Moller in 1982.
Tanner Pearson is the only 2012 draft eligible forward on the team. Canada will play exhibition games in Calgary, Red Deer, Alta., and Edmonton next week. They begin the World Junior Hockey Championship on Boxing Day against Finland.

From sexcapades in the student union -- to cries for help. College and high school students are revealing their deepest, darkest secrets on Facebook. But they're doing it anonymously on what are called "confession" pages.
These campus confession pages are popping up around the country. The pages are not run by the schools, but students. Posts are typically vulgar. Some say they promote bullying, but there are posts that are alarming to some.
"Last year I had sex in the Sonora 5th floor lounge."
"Today some friends and I were pulled over on our way back from a party. We'd had a few drinks so we tried to play it cool just in case we were over the limit."
"I had sex in the Devils Den at Taylor Place. Twice."
These are just some of the more toned-down posts students have posted on the ASU Confessions Facebook page.
"There is a bag full of pure form MDMA in the nightstand next to my bed, I am extremely addicted to it."
The page was started in February and already has 3,700 likes.
"Really raunchy," says Jacquelyn Melling, ASU student.
"It's pretty popular, you see a lot of different sexual stuff on there," says Marcus Jackson, ASU student.
"It's still the internet so everyone just puts whatever they feel," says Sam Dankberg.
While most on the ASU confessions page are graphic, there are some more serious posts, on there and on the NAU confessions page.
"I feel like there's no place for me in this world anymore."
"I start an intense cancer treatment in about two weeks. I'm scared s---less."
Dr. Brian Case, a therapist at Psychological Counseling Services, says people posting are just looking for validation and support.
"Teenagers, if they put something on there, they don't get a few likes their day can be ruined," says Dr. Case.
The more serious posts typically prompted sympathetic responses from students, some even providing information on counseling resources.
But Dr. Case is concerned that those needing help might not realize they probably won't get it from this kind of site.
"This is not a suicide prevention hotline, this isn't run by the university to try to help you, this is another form of voyeuristic entertainment for the most part."
Some Tucson high schools successfully lobbied Facebook to shut down confession pages, saying they led to bullying.
Police in other states have monitored the pages.
We spoke with the creator of the ASU Confessions page on Facebook who told me he or she monitors the confessions, and can see the IP addresses and would not hesitate to contact Tempe police regarding a confession if needed.

No rating
GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Neither the parish nor the school has a strategic plan resulting in disjointed curriculum, taught by underpaid faculty operating in dilapidated facilities. The school administration happily operates in the absence of school governance, rewarding themselves with handsome salaries, and refusing to respond to legitimate, constructive parental criticism. I urge any parent considering enrolling their children to carefully consider whether the school s marketing effort featuring their internet / ipad focus and cursory February 2011 accreditation review outweighs the weak, uncoordinated curriculum, playgrounds in dismal repair, hot classrooms and dinghy bathrooms, an out of date library, and a physical education program whose disengaged instructor reflects the inadequate facilities. In summary, the profound leadership problems gravely affect learning and do not justify the tuition.
St. Anthony School is weak on weak on education, very weak on Catholic identity, yet strong in marketing itself. Regrettably, this institution exists to exist; the school administrators real job is job retention, not to educate and develop children. As a retired military family who came to Hawaii on active duty, I caution my military brothers and sisters to carefully do their homework prior to making the same mistake we did enrolling here. Through our 7 years at the school, accumulating 22 student-years among our 5 students, with 5 years of service on the School Board, we have observed that the military community sustains the school, paying full tuition and enabling island nepotism at its worst. The typical military family does not stay long enough to fully appreciate the dysfunctional nature of the school prior to rotation. The school s sponsor, St. Anthony s Parish, has little interest in the school, providing no oversight or guidance and no financial support. Continued below.
As a parent who has had two children graduate from this school, I can honestly recommend sending your children here. The current administration is really pushing the school toward the future and adjusting the school's teaching style according to our ever changing society. I love the teachers and my kids love to visit, and only have good things to say about St. Anthonys. They both got into great high schools and have been doing very well. I totally recommend anyone to send their kids here. It is a very nurturing and loving environment.
This past year I graduated from St. Anthony's.I attended for 2 years and was less than impressed.In fact, I became so stressed and upset about having to return there after 7th gr that I spiraled into a depression.I felt like I wasn't learning and the kids there were too sheltered. In 7th grade I was pre alg in math so I had to do independent study until the day an accredidation commitee came and they put me downstairs with the librarian.No coincidence there or anything!In 8th grade I had a teacher but I had a shared class!Really, I only had half a period of math everyday.Oddly enough, even though I only got a half a period I probably learned the most out of any class.I really did feel like I was wasting my time going to school everyday.As middle schoolers, we were forced to do the same stuff as the little kids taking away from education time. I come from a christian famiy and after attending religion class I can tell you that i never want to have any part of christianity as an adult.The hipocrisy displayed by the teacher was overwhelming.She also didn't have any viable knowledge to back up what she was teaching us."Because it's tradition" is what she'd say. Don't send your child.
My 5 year old recently completed summer school here. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. He went from not knowing which hand to write with to tracing his own name with his right hand while holding the pencil correctly. I couldn't get him to do it with me for months and he got it in 6 weeks. The staff is so friendly and it feels like a family there. My son was in the ELC program and felt so comfortable in their environment. For summer school they mixed 3, 4 & 5 year olds but all the children worked well together. The ELC has a beautiful playground complete with a clean sandy bottom, slide, little tree house and jungle gym. Inside they have tons of excellent manipulatives and toys as well as a train table which is my son's favorite. The children had water play every Friday and walked to the local public library once a week. This is a Catholic school so the children also learned lots of prayers. My son picked them up quite easily and he still says them even today. He even told me that he knew all the sounds of the letter A, and he did. I am so impressed and every day was so worth it knowing how much he learned in such a short time. A+++ St. Anthony's!
As a military child, I have been enrolled in many wonderful schools, but St. Anthony;s is by far the worst I have ever been to. Not only does it lack appropriate teachers for those students more advanced, but it also does not help those students who are falling behind. The religion program was also very disappointing and made me very upset everyday. Students who attend a Catholic school should not doubt their Catholic faith because of the religion class. This private school was not worth the money, sedn your child to a different one.
We have been so happy with the elementary part of this school. I love how teaching is done outside of the box with hands on experiments, guest speakers and wonderful parental support. We came from a public Hawaii school in Kailua that didn't have music, art, Spanish... Sas offers all this with skilled professionals and fab computer center as well! We are military and my child has attended many schools. This is by far our favorite!
Most of St Anthony's teachers are the reason the school continues to attract students. Other teachers need to be replaced. All of this is due to lack of leadership by the two Administration personnel. They care more about perception and protecting their job than the school. Class sizes have ballooned from 17 to 22 in three years. In the past year, they have shuffled bad teachers to other positions rather than removing them from the school. They have created useless middle school writing classes, with no structure or purpose. Lastly they have lowered their acceptance standards, accepting students who will struggle and sometimes disrupt the learning process with bad behavior. It is a sad state of affairs. The core problem is the administration, who must be removed. The school needs someone with vision and leadership. This will be the last year that I will keep my children at the school. I believed things would get better, but it is more of the same from the administration.
As a parent to 3 students at SAS, I couldn't be more pleased with the school. The teachers are top notch, the curriculum is challenging, yet comparable to what is being taught on the east coast, and most importantly, it provides a Christian atmosphere- truly embracing the "Ohana Ideal." We have no reservations or worries concerning how well our children will transition upon our inevitable return to mainland schools. Contrary to other recent reviews, we have found the Early Learning Center (ELC) to be the highlight of our time at Saint Anthony's. The teachers are loving and provide developmentally appropriate instruction.
The Administration lacks vision. The ELC which was a gem has deteriorated to become a daycare. In 2010 this was a highly regarded school. Most teachers are excellent. The schools Administration continues to run excellent teachers out of the classroom due to the lack of leadership. Unfortunately I must say that St. Anthony s has a terrible administration. I can no longer say that the ELC is a place that I would send my children, or recommend it to anyone else.
Great school! The Early Learning Center is an amazing place for preschoolers. My children were all very happy, safe, and learned so much. We will miss the school when we leave.
Excellent school! The people are wonderful amd make you feel like one 'ohana.
My 3 children have all attended St. Anthony. They each have great standardized test scores and my two oldest were accepted at every school to which they applied. More importantly, I felt they were well cared for, well prepared, and treated with respect. I love this school!
I have taught at this school for a number of years. The administrative is supportive and has revitalized the vision for the school. They encourage and support professional development for teachers - I have personally been to more than 40 hours of classes and workshops during just this year. The leadership team has a strategic vision and is actively involved in a project to make St. Anthony a center for 21st Century Learning Skills. I wouldn't work anywhere else.
My three children have gone to Saint Anthony and it's a great school. The curriculum is rigorous, but the teachers work to make each child successful. The school has wonderful extra-curricular activities such as before and after school care, competitive sports teams, hula, martial arts, student council, and even a drama club that produces delightful plays. Saint Anthony students do great in state or national academic and art competitions such as Geography Bee, Spelling Bee, Peace Poster, Word Power Challenge, Write in the Middle, and Science Fair. The administration is so kind and caring. Whenever one of my kids starts to struggle, or make less than great choices, everyone in the office, the principal, vice-principal, or even the school secretary is immediately available to listen to my concerns, and work toward a solution. Saint Anthony provides a fantastic, well-rounded, strong Catholic education. I love this school!
Check for yourself....ask the teachers (and compare different answers) about the last time they had any professional development? ...how many middle school MATH teachers they have gone through in the past 5 years? who has control over the curriculum? ...what they do with the outcome of the standardized test scores to improve weak areas? ...what interventions exist for students who are struggling or gifted? ...how do they accomodate different learning styles and how they differentiate insturction to meet ALL the student's needs? how do they integrate technology into the curriculum? Ask tougher questions and don't reley soley on word of mouth. Go to the school and ask several teachers. They have some amazing teachers that keep the school afloat but the current administration has done little to ensure high academic standards for the school and it's getting worse every year.
The administration, or lack there of, negatively impacts the teacher's ability to provide a high quality of care. It is sad because the school has been around long enough to know better. Obviously, the school leadership made a conscious decision somewhere along the line to have one person handle the entire school's administration. We withdrew our son because of this, even though we REALLY liked our teacher.
St. Anthony's is a wonderful school! I would highly recommend it to parents who are looking into sending their children to a private school. The teachers are great and the whole staff is loving and caring. Your child is not just a number at this school - St. Anthony's is a tight knit community. We will be moving this summer and I will really miss being a part of a wonderful school.
I went to this school it is really great & very friendly community
St Anthony's provides an inexpensive quality education. My 3 children were enrolled there after living overseas and attending an international school. St Anthony's welcomed them and provided a great atmosphere that allowed them to rapidly assimilate with the existing student population. St Anthony's offers numerous athletic programs and other community service opportunities. After 3 years at the school, we are very pleased with the quality and environment that St Anthony's provides.

Is Intuit a Good Stock to Buy?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU), a $19 billion market cap software company, offers business and financial management products for a variety of functions. It is best known for QuickBooks and TurboTax, but other products cover personal finance, payroll software, and online marketing. Year to date, Intuit's stock price is up 18%, in line with the NASDAQ index.
The company released its 10-Q for the first quarter of its fiscal year (the quarter ended in October) last month. Net revenue for the quarter was up 13%, and net losses came in considerably lower than the same period a year ago. This isn't incredibly relevant -- this is typically a soft quarter for Intuit, with the majority of its earnings coming in the fiscal quarter ending in April and most of the rest coming in the fiscal quarter ending in January. It's possible that the relatively good quarter signals better numbers over the next several months as well, but we wouldn't depend on that.
Intuit trades at 23 times trailing earnings, a valuation at which we'd want to see good growth on the bottom line. Wall Street analysts see better numbers ahead: consensus is for $2.82 in earnings per share for the crucial April quarter, which would be a 12% increase from what the company earned in the same quarter of the last fiscal year. The year as a whole is expected to result in $3.33 in EPS, implying a current-year P/E multiple of 19; the forward P/E, based on earnings for the fiscal year ending in July 2014, is 17.
It's possible that Intuit will get to these improvements in earnings per share in part through buybacks: repurchasing activity has been somewhat limited recently, but the company has reported that a large buyback program is authorized and it did report about $560 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments on its balance sheet. However, current assets were only slightly higher than current liabilities. We'd also expect Intuit to be less active in using its cash until it has its actual results from its peak quarter.
Our database of 13F filings reveals several hedge funds with positions in Intuit at the end of September. Billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group reported a position of 1.1 million shares (check out Griffin's stock picks). Coatue Management, which is run by Tiger Cub Philippe Laffont, owned 2.3 million shares (see Laffont's favorite stocks). Generation Investment Management initiated a position of 1.6 million shares, after not owning any Intuit stock at the beginning of July; Generation is managed by former Goldman Sachs Asset Management head David Blood and former Vice President Al Gore. Find more stocks Generation has been buying.
Intuit's closest peer is H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), with the caveat that H&R Block is more focused on professional face-to-face tax preparation while Intuit's tax offerings are based on software for customers to complete their taxes themselves (of course, Intuit has considerable enterprise software products as well). H&R Block trades at a discount to Intuit, with a trailing P/E of 15, and also offers a dividend yield of over 4%. At first glance it might look like a better value, but we can see there being growth advantages to the software product. Analyst expectations are for earnings per share to grow 19% in its fiscal quarter ending in April -- the company's fiscal year is identical to Intuit's -- so they actually see more near-term growth at H&R Block. If that's the case, H&R Block would be a better buy, but we think we'd need to research the two further before drawing any conclusions.
We can also compare Intuit to software providers SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), Adobe Systems (NASDAQ: ADBE), and salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM). Intuit is actually at the lower end of the valuation range of this peer group: Adobe trades at 23 times trailing earnings, while SAP's multiple is 25 and salesforce.com's is more than 100. Growth expectations are low at the first two of these companies, and so even their forward multiples are greater than 20; while salesforce.com reported 35% revenue growth in its most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year, it trades very high compared to consensus earnings for next year.
It's quite possible that Intuit is the best buy of these four, as it at least has the sell-side forecasting moderate growth in the current fiscal year.

Hello S. Ca,
How is everyone?
I've packed and I think we're just about ready to evacuate. We're in Scripps Ranch smack in the middle of fires all around us except from the west...at this point. I hear on the news they're expecting the fires to eventually go all the way to the coast.
We still have had no air support fighting the fires because the Santa Anna's are blowing too much. Super low humidities, the winds, and super high temps (uppper 90's/low 100's) are expected through Wednesday. This is crazy.
We evacuated and lived through the Cedar Fire here in '03 and until then, that was the worst we had ever seen here. This one is worse because we have 8 fires nearby (7 now as two have merged) and the winds are worse this time around.
I hope everyone stays safe.

The Vela's one-hand-push single handlebar, large rear wheels and front swivel wheels with ball bearings offer enhanced steering and maneuverability. And that makes it easy to "sail" right through theme parks, museums…even busy airports. (Fun Fact: Vela is Italian for "sail.")

The Rise of the New Groupthink. The article criticizes recent trends towards collaborative projects, highlighting people like Steve Wozniak and Apple as an example of the importance of individual work. Individual work seems completely applicable with developing an invention, and certainly the endless meetings and discussions that are common to group dynamics are an issue. But the article generalizes the process of group work without considering the different stages of project development and the potential value group dialogue can have along the way.

Everyone should have this in their home. I live in Japan and after Fukushima exploded my family started having fever, chills, and upset stomach, and under my fingernails turned black! I then remembered as a child my mother was in the hospital and the staff accidentally gave her a medication she was highly allergic took and she had a severe, life threatening reaction and they made her drink pure powered charcoal mixed with water to get out the poison. When I remembered this I gave my family this charcoal and everyone of us got better and my fingernails returned to normal. So for cleansing the body of chemicals and poison it works.
Many Uses for Activated Charcoal

There are so many uses for activated Charcoal. I recommend that every household keep this product in stock. It is great for those suffering from diarrhea or bloating. We have also used it when we got food poisoning. It should be kept in household where small children are present in case of accidental poisonings. Then, I keep it in case of scorpion or bee/wasp stings, or spider bites. I was bit by a brown recluse several years ago, and I opened a capsule and made a paste with a few drops of water. I applied it to the bite and 24 hours later, it had absorbed all the poison. The bite was completely healed within a week!
Works for me!

I can name 3 things this has done for me right off the bat-- 1. When I wake up with heartburn I take two of these and I am able to go back to sleep immediately. 2. When making cookies with my children I allowed myself one more cookie and really upset my stomach with all of the over-indulgence of sweetness-- I popped two of these capsules with a glass of water and with in a few minutes my stomach ache was gone. 3. I felt a sore throat and ear ache coming on and I took 2 of these in the morning.. then two in the afternoon.. and by the next day I felt no symptoms of infections setting in.
Charcoal- a real life saver

I would never be without charcoal, as charcoal can save your life. Used this charcoal on a spider bite. I think it was a brown recluse because of what happened, but cannot be sure since I didn't see the spider that bit me. Just noticed that my elbow began to feel as if it had been scraped. But it had no signs of a scrape, just one or two holes. Within 48 hours a small ulcerated sore appeared. I immediately began to treat it with charcoal mixed with a tiny amount of water. It never got worse and began to heal. Within five days there was nothing but a scab. I like this brand of charcoal. And I like i-herb's prices. I can't find charcoal in the drug store for less than $12.
Saver for morning sickness!

I took this supplement because I am pregnant, and I read that it helps with morning sickness. It actually works! I don't take it daily, only when I feel nauseated. Activated charcoal adsorbs a wide range of toxins in the body. Morning sickness may be caused by low level toxins, therefore activated charcoal can help a great deal. Daily I use liquid bentonite clay for detox puposes ie adsorption of heavy metals and pesticides. Yerba Prima, Great Plains, Bentonite, Detox. Click on my username for more reviews!

Gently cook onion in 1 Tbsp oil in a medium frying pan until tender. Add tomatoes and chillies and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened. Add beans and mash about half to form a lumpy mixture.
Fry chorizo on both sides in a smidgen of hot olive oil. Transfer to a plate.
Scramble eggs in a non-stick frying pan in a little butter over gentle heat.
Heat tortillas one by one in a clean dry frying pan over medium-high heat until they darken in spots and puff a little. Or heat in the microwave and serve soft and warm. Put a spoonful or two of black beans on top, then the eggs and chipotle sauce to taste. Top with feta, sprinkle over coriander and serve chorizo on the side.
Cook's tip
Canned black beans are often flavoured with chilli. If this is all you can find, rinse them well and cut back on fresh chilli – unless you like things hot. Wholefood stores sell plain canned black beans.
