How I long can I rely on breastfeeding as a contraception method?
We have recently welcomed our first addition to our family. Our daughter is now 3 months old. I have been exclusively breastfeeding for the past 3 months and will continue to do so until we start solids. Please advise as to when I should begin a formal method of birth control.

Hi mumtozoe,
Congratulations on your new daughter.
The statistics show that it is highly unlikely that ovulation will start when you are exclusively breastfeeding. Therefore, if you exclusively breastfeed for the first six months of life (as recommended by the World Health Organisation) then you have over a 98% chance of being unable to get pregnant (i.e. no ovulation occurring). This is only the case if you give your baby no other food or liquids (including water) and you feed her on demand in the day and night.
Obviously there is still a small chance (somewhere between 1 and 2%) that you could still start ovulating even if you are exclusively breastfeeding. If you are concerned about this then you could have a look at other contraception options.
As you probably know, you cannot rely on waiting to get your period and then knowing you are capable of getting pregnant again as you ovulate around 2 weeks before your period is due (so it would be possible to get pregnant on the first ovulation following birth and not have any period).
If you practice what is known as 'ecological breastfeeding' then you are more likely to put off ovulation for longer. This involves not only breastfeeding on demand but also babywearing and co-sleeping. The average time for a woman's periods to return when she ecologically breastfeeds is 15 months.
I hope this answers your questions.
Please do post back if you have any further questions.
Warm wishes,

Hi ljmarsden,
Thank you for the well wishes and response.
I have been practicing ecological breastfeeding (without knowing it) and will continue to do so.

You are most welcome mumtozoe.
Your comment 'without knowing it' made me smile. I also drifted into the gentle parenting and ecological breastfeeding world without even realising there was a name for what we were doing. We were doing what worked, what felt right and what came naturally (which in practice looked like co-sleeping, breastfeeding on demand, babywearing, baby led weaning etc).
I'm so pleased to hear you are also breastfeeding in this way
Warm wishes,

Trusting my instincts has made being a mother so easy and beautiful. I can't imagine doing it any other way.
Thank you for your help with my many questions

Hi Zoe,
I totally agree with you there - I have found that following my instincts as a mother alongside following my children's lead to be the most natural way to parent. My children have taught me lots, even as newborn babies, and my hope is to continue this way of parenting even on the difficult days.
Warm wishes,

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
National Archaeological Museum–Athens
Sitting on a bench in the National Archaeological Museum in Greece, I watch my twenty-two-year-old daughter, Ann, angle her camera before a marble bas- relief of Demeter and Persephone unaware of the small ballet she's performing— her slow, precise steps forward, the tilt of her head, the way she dips to one knee as she turns her torso, leaning into the sharp afternoon light. The scene reminds me of something, a memory maybe, but I can't recall what. I only know she looks beautiful and impossibly grown, and for reasons not clear to me I'm possessed by an acute feeling of loss.
It's the summer of 1998, a few days before my fiftieth birthday. Ann and I have been in Athens a whole twenty- seven hours, a good portion of which I've spent lying awake in a room in the Hotel Grande Bretagne, waiting for blessed daylight. I tell myself the bereft feeling that washed over me means nothing— I'm jet- lagged, that's all. But that doesn't feel particularly convincing.
I close my eyes and even in the tumult of the museum, where there seem to be ten tourists per square inch, I know the feeling is actually everything. It is the undisclosed reason I've come to the other side of the world with my daughter. Because in a way which makes no sense, she seems lost to me now. Because she is grown and a stranger. And I miss her almost violently.
Our trip to Greece began as a birthday present to myself and a college graduation gift to Ann. The extravagant idea popped into my head six months earlier as the realization of turning fifty set in and I felt for the first time the overtures of an ending.
Those were the days I stood before the bathroom mirror examining new lines and sags around my eyes and mouth like a seismologist studying unstable tectonic plates. The days I dug through photo albums in search of images of my mother and grandmother at fifty, scrutinizing their faces and comparing them to my own.
Surely I'm above this sort of thing. I could not be one of those women who clings to the façades of youth. I didn't understand why I was responding to the prospect of aging with such shallowness and dread, only that there had to be more to it than the etchings of time on my skin. Was I dabbling in the politics of vanity or did I obsess on my face to avoid my soul? Furthermore, whatever room I happened to be in seemed unnaturally overheated. During the nights I wandered in long, sleepless corridors. At forty- nine my body was engaged in vague, mutinous behaviors.
These weren't the only hints that I was about to emigrate to a new universe. At the same time I was observing the goings- on in the mirror, I came down with an irrepressible need to leave my old geography— a small town in upstate South Carolina where we'd lived for twenty- two years— and move to an unfamiliar landscape. I envisioned a place tucked away somewhere, quiet and untamed, near water, marsh grass, and tidal rhythms. In an act of boldness or recklessness, or some perfect combination thereof, my husband, Sandy, and I put our house on the market and moved to Charleston, where we subsisted in a minuscule one- bedroom apartment while searching for this magical and necessary place. I never said out loud that I thought it was mandatory for my soul and my creative life (how could I explain that?), but I assure you, I was thinking it.
I felt like my writing had gone to seed. A strange fallowness had set in. I could not seem to write in the same way. I felt I'd come to some conclusion in my creative life and now something new wanted to break through. I had crazy intimations about writing a novel, about which I knew more or less nothing. Frankly, the whole thing terrified me.
After being crammed in the tiny apartment for so long I began to think we'd lost our minds by tossing over our comfortable old life, I was driving alone one day when I took a wrong turn that led to a salt marsh. I stopped the car by a FOR SALE sign on an empty lot, climbed out and gazed at an expanse of waving spartina grass with a tidal creek curling through it. It was low tide. The mudflats glinted with oyster shells and egrets floated down to them like plumes of smoke. My heart tumbled wildly. I belong to this place. Perhaps living here, my creative life would crack open like one of those oyster shells. Or sweep in like the tides, brimming and amniotic. In those moments, the longing I felt to bring forth a new voice, some new substance in myself, almost knocked me down.
I called Sandy. "I'm standing on the spot where we need to live."
To his everlasting credit he did not say, "Don't you think I need to see it first?" Or, "What do you mean you don't know the price?" He heard the conviction and hunger in my words. After a pause, a fairly long one, he said, "Well, okay, if we really need to."
Later I went to the store and bought a red leather journal. I carried it, blank and unchristened, to the lot beside the salt marsh where we now planned to build our house. Construction hadn't started, wouldn't start for a few months. I sat on a faded beach towel beneath a palmetto palm and began making a list of 100 Things to Do Before I Die. It started off with a 10K race and riding a hot- air balloon over Tuscany. I didn't like running and really had no desire to travel by balloon. I turned the page.
Finally, I began to write about becoming an older woman and the trepidation it stirred. The small, telling "betrayals" of my body. The stalled, eerie stillness in my writing, accompanied by an ache for some unlived destiny. I wrote about the raw, unsettled feelings coursing through me, the need to divest and relocate, the urge to radically simplify and distill life into a new, unknown meaning. And why, I asked myself, had I begun to think for the first time about my own mortality? Some days, the thought of dying gouged into my heart to the point I filled up with tears at the sight of the small, ordinary things I would miss.
Finally, I wrote a series of questions: Is there an odyssey the female soul longs to make at the approach of fifty— one that has been blurred and lost within a culture awesomely alienated from soul? If so, what sort of journey would that be? Where would it take me?
The impulse to go to Greece emerged out of those questions. It seized me before I got back to the minuscule apartment. Greece. That would be the portal. I would make a pilgrimage in search of an initiation.
A few days later, flipping through a small anthology, I stumbled upon four lines in May Sarton's poem "When a Woman Feels Alone":
Old Woman I meet you deep inside myself.
There in the rootbed of fertility,
World without end, as the legend tells it.
Under the words you are my silence.
I read it a half- dozen times. I became entranced with the verse, which attached itself to the side of my heart something like a limpet on a rock. The image of the Old Woman haunted me— this idea that there was an encounter that needed to take place at the "rootbed" of a new fertility. Who was this Old Woman who had to be met deep inside oneself? Sometimes I woke in the middle of the night thinking about her. About her dark fertility. About the silence beneath the words.
When I made my first trip to Greece in 1993, I'd inscribed a quotation on the first page of my travel diary— words by theologian Richard Niebuhr: "Pilgrims are poets who create by taking journeys." Recalling this, I recopied the words in the new red journal. What I wanted— at least what I was trying hard to want— was to create in myself a new poetry: the spiritual composition of the Old Woman, not through words, but through the wisdom of a journey.
I imagined the trip as a pilgrimage for Ann, too. She had gone to Greece almost a year and a half ago on an academic trip and fallen in love with the place. Returning would be the graduation gift of gifts for her, but I also wondered if it might become an initiation for her as well. She was officially exiting the precincts of girlhood and stepping into young womanhood— another threshold that wasn't all that defined and acknowledged— and she did seem daunted lately. Not that we talked about it. When I inquired, she said she was fine. But on the flight over, during the hours she sat next to me, she stared out the oval window, at the SkyMall catalog, at the movie playing on the monitor over our heads, and there was an emission of sadness around her, like the faint dots and dashes of Morse code blinking secret distress.
I realized it was conceivable that Ann and I both, in our own way, were experiencing a crisis, which according to its definition is: (1) a crucial stage or turning point, and (2) an unstable or precarious situation. At the very least, Ann was struggling to figure out the beginning of being a woman, and I, the beginning of the ending of it.
Now, though, I sit on the museum bench and consider this new epiphany, how surprising it is that for all these months I've thought traveling to Greece was basically a pilgrimage about crossing borders into foreign regions of the soul. About meeting the Old Woman. I haven't considered it has anything to do with mothers and daughters. With Ann and me. With us.
I watch Ann hone in with her telephoto lens on Persephone's face, the nose of which is partially missing. If you asked me to describe Ann, the first thing I would say is: smart. Her intelligence was never just scholastic, though; it has always had a creative, inventive bent. When other eight- year- olds were busy with lemonade stands, Ann set up a boot...

I would like your opinion on this.
In the suttas, it is regarded by Buddha that the view " i have no self" and " i have a self" are maintained as wrong views. Therefore, how does one cultivate right view according to the no self doctrine when the expression i have no self is also a wrong view? Clarification needed.

Nikolai and the Others
Theater review by Adam Feldman. Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (see Off Broadway). By Richard Nelson. Dir. David Cromer. With Stephen Kunken, Michael Cerveris, John Glover. 2hrs 30mins. One intermission.
"This weekend is just for us, maestro," explains Nikolai Nabokov (Kunken), composer and cultural liaison, to a visiting conductor, Serge Koussevitsky (Dale Place). "Only Russians. In the woods for one goddamn weekend! To forget where we are." Where they are is America in 1948—on a farm in Connecticut, to be exact. Who they are is an enmeshed community of expat-Russian high-culture figures, most notably George Balanchine (Cerveris) and Igor Stravinsky (Glover). Richard Nelson's nuanced drama imagines them and many more—including Stravinsky's wife, Vera (Blair Brown), and her elderly first husband, set designer Sergey Sudeikin (a gorgeously decrepit Alvin Epstein)—on a kind of retreat to Moscow. Alone together, they converse in their native language and forget the Cold War politics in which their art is starting to play a role.
This exclusive, incestuous and insular group of friends has little interest in outsiders; when Balanchine's bride and muse, ballerina Maria Tallchief (Natalia Alonso), arrives at the compound, they discuss her openly in Russian as she stands among them, poised and fuming. Nelson's play, directed by David Cromer with his typically fine attention to detail, offers an intelligent, allusive portrait of their world, and its passages of dance (from Orpheus, performed by Alonso and Michael Rosen) are transfixing. But Nelson's examination of art and the potential corruptions of patronage is subtle to a fault. Only Nikolai—valued as a fixer, but dismissed as an artist—is the object of sustained dramatic interest, while the others are sometimes hard to tell apart. The play rewards attention, but doesn't consistently command it.—Adam Feldman

Q: My child's school insists hand sanitizers are adequate for cleaning up children after eating. But to protect allergic children, don't they need to use soap and water?
Dr. Sicherer: Antibacterial gels and foams do not remove debris from hands, they only kill germs. These sanitizers will not remove milk, peanut or even dirt from hands.
This was studied in an experiment with adults who applied peanut butter to their hands. Their hands were tested after various types of cleaning procedures. The sanitizers did not remove all of the peanut protein. Neither did a simple water rinse.
However, wet wipes or soap and water worked very well. If a child with allergies gets their avoided foods on their hands, the advice would be to use soap and running water, if available, otherwise use a wet wipe.
Dr. Scott Sicherer is Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Together with Dr. Hemant Sharma, Associate Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, he writes "The Food Allergy Experts" column in the U.S. Edition of Allergic Living magazine.

will need to complete additional 3000-4000 level coursework to meet
this requirement.
Program Requirements: 43-44
Along with the general education
program, students must complete the major's core requirements, must
select one of its emphasis areas (Studio or Digital Arts), and must
complete the requirements and electives for that area.

Top ranking San Antonio gang member sent to prison
The man who once was the head of the ultra violent Texas Syndicate street gang in San Antonio has been sent to prison for four years.
Andrew Vidaurri, 31, was charged with racketeering, murder and cocaine dealing. The federal complaint shows he helped in the killings of fellow gang members George Escobedo and George Davenport in 2008.
"He was the top ranking Texas Syndicate member in San Antonio," Assistant US Attorney Joey Contreras told the judge. "He had a very good reputation as a very significant member in the gang."
Vidaurri turned federal informant after members of his own gang tried to have him assassinated. In one botched attempt, they also shot his brother, a veteran, and his sister in law, who died. As a result of his help, prosecutors were able to convict nearly two dozen gang members.
"The Texas Syndicate is a very violent, bold gang," Contreras tells 1200 WOAI news. "We did not want them to sink roots into San Antonio."
Vidaurri grew up in a broken home and began using heroin at age eleven. He dropped out of school in the 10th grade to become a street thug. He's the grandson of Juan Vidaurri, who was an iconic political figure on San Antonio's west side during the late 1970's.
"You're a marked man for the rest of your life," Judge Fred Biery told him. "You realize that?"
"Yessir," was all that Vidurri could say.

Post subject: FFMD 12 (Part 2): Draft Thread (Completed)
FFMD '12 Draft: Part Two
Good evening ladies and gents... you have officially stumbled upon FFMD 12: Part two, dos, deux, dva.... There is no better version, this proven by your appearance here as well as the fact that this is 2x more awesome than FFMD1 (where do you think we got the two from). Come on in and take your seats in these incredibly comfy chairs fit for a member of team management.
: Like FFMD1 the time slots for Round 1 will also be
90 minutes (1.5 hrs)
and the time slots for rounds 2-7 will be
60 minutes (1 hr)
time slots.
The Draft Begins on April 9th
. All listed time slots (TBA) shall be on EST.
You can make your pick at any point while you are on the clock or if those picking ahead of you have already made their selections. You are not obligated to make your selection, however, until your team's slot period has officially ended. If you do not make a selection in your time period, you will be skipped.
If your GM and AGM for some reason are unavailable, any member listed on the first post of your war room can make the pick. But in this instance, the mods will scan your war room to make sure a consensus was reached. If this does not appear to be the case, we reserve the right to void the pick.
Be Advised:
This thread is
for your listed draft picks. NO discussion is to take place in this thread, any comments/critiques should be placed in the
FFMD 12 (Part 2): GDT
, thanks!
Once a selection is made and a player taken-
there will be no trades involving drafted players
. These trades IRL are extremely rare and almost never happen, so there's no reason why we should do them here.
GMs, be sure to post and update your staff member positions in your War Room. If at a later date, someone is added to your staff and have been given draft credentials, please PM either myself-
, or
For the purposes of this draft we will be using the official draft order for the NFL draft as provided by nfl.com and listed below- these include the awarded compensatory picks and take into account IRL trades/factors. We will update this draft order based on trades that have been made and approved during the course of this mock draft. Teams get ready, get set... (now you just have to wait until this thread is unlocked and your team is on the board to) go!

I'm not sure where Redskins24-7 is but this is a no brainer for us.
The Washington Redskins select:
Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
The Washington Redskins have needed a franchise qb since before I was born and that was in 1979 my friends. We have tried and tried multiple ways, trades and picks over the last 33 years to obtain a true franchise qb. We have not been able to do so, but us Redskins fans believe RG3 is the "truth." The true qb that our franchise has been missing for over 30 years. We know we had to give up a lot to get him but we believe he is worth it, we believe he will help to get this franchise out of mediocrity or worse shape that it has been in for the last twenty years. We believe RG3 has more upside than any player in this draft and although he isn't as polished of a qb coming out as Luck is, we think RG3's potential for greatness is better. So we are elated to have our first shot at a franchise qb since we selected Heath Shuler in the 1994 draft, 18 years ago.

With the 7th pick in the 2012 FFMD NFL draft, the
Jacksonville Jaguars
Justin Blackmon, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma State
We all know how Jacksonville has not had a thousand-yard receiver since Jimmy Smith wore teal. Now, through this off-season, we have established a great probability that we have at least one receiver capable of doing so as we have added Laurent Robinson and, now, Justin Blackmon. People are concerned about Blackmon's size and speed, but he plays big and he plays fast. He is somewhat raw in his route running, but we have one of, if not the, best WR coaches in Jerry Sullivan, so he will be in good hands (pun honestly not intended). Our WR corps will likely compose of:
WR1: Laurent Robinson
WR2: Justin Blackmon
WR3: Mike Thomas
4-6: Cecil Shorts III, Jarett Dillard, Chastin West/Taylor Price/Brian Robiskie/Whoever
That group looks a lot better with the addition of Robinson and Blackmon.
Welcome to Jacksonville!

With the 10th pick the Bills select...
David Decastro
I like Urbik but an interior line of Wood, Levitre, and Decastro is to good to pass up. Our Oline is now set for the next 10 years. Our oline problems were not shown because Gailey was forced to use quick drops and passes. Now we have a oline and can have deeper passes. Our starting lineup up front now consists of Light, Levitre, Wood, Decastro, and Pears.

With the eleventh overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the
Kansas City Chiefs
DT Dontari Poe, Memphis
With the addition of Dontari, the Kansas City Chiefs defensive line is growing stronger. With Tyson Jackson on the left side, Glenn Dorsey on the right side, and Poe in the middle, the Chiefs finally have a complete line. We feel Romeo can help coach Poe and get the most out of him, and help Poe become a dominant nose tackle in our defense. Welcome to Kansas City, Dontari!
Poe ran and jumped like a little man at the Combine, but showed the strength of the big guy that he is. He had 44 reps with 225 pounds and ran 40 yards in an unofficial time of 4.98 seconds, which would be acceptable for a linebacker or tight end 100 pounds lighter. Poe is obviously naturally gifted with size and strength, although some scouts are concerned that he doesn't always play up to his ability.
"Dontari is a powerful, powerful young man who has the potential to be the best defensive lineman I ever coached," offered Memphis defensive line coach Mike DuBose, who saw some pretty good DLs in his days as head coach at Alabama, where he won an SEC championship in 1999.
DuBose says Poe often over-thinks what he is doing rather than just doing it and needs to just rely on his abilities more. That probably accounts for the reason Poe doesn't always explode off the line. But DuBose says Poe is a dedicated athlete in the weight room and on the field, where he will still need to refine some techniques to maximize his God-given abilities at the next level.

With the 12th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft....
Select SLB/LEO Melvin Ingram
Melvin Ingram is a football player. He has a nose for the ball and incredible instincts. We believe he has the quickness and football smarts to excel as an SLB for us and a LEO player in passing situations. He'll be asked to rush the passer quite a bit, but we also believe he can set the edge against the run and can develop as a coverage player. We are happy to add him to our already dynamic defense.

With the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the
Arizona Cardinals
Iowa LT Riley Reiff
: Arizona has been desperate for a franchise tackle for what feels like since the dawn of time. Levi Brown is a solid right tackle but is exploited when asked to man the blindside of QBs. Reiff brings that NFL-ready technique associated with a Kirk Ferentz offensive line and an obvious mean streak. He gets compared to Bulaga simply because the school he plays for, but Reiff is a clear level above Bulaga was when it comes to pass protection. He fits our mold of a power running scheme and can finally keep our QB of his back.

With the 14th selection in the 2012 draft,
The Dallas Cowboys Select:
Quinton Coples DE North Carolina
Having addressed most of our weaknesses in free agency, the Cowboys have the luxury of taking the best player available. Coples will line up in front of DeMarcus Ware and our blind side pass rush will be greatly increased. Welcome to Dallas, Quinton!!

Hungary holidays are packed with plenty to do from bird-watching, cycling and horse riding to relaxing in thermal spas. Lake Balaton is a must but don't neglect the other towns and regions off the beaten track, such as the medieval town of Sopron, close to the Austrian border or one of the lesser-known villages in the many wine-growing regions.
With a rich and varied culture, classical notes from composers such as Béla Bartók and Franz Liszt live in harmony with traditional gypsy rhapsodies and contemporary beats in Hungary's capital city, Budapest. From an imposing castle, view the romantic Danube River, as it dramatically splits the city in two or enjoy comfort food at its best in a cosy restaurant with the smell of rustic paprika-infused goulash filling the air.

Was Ambassadors Iran Threat Credible? (COMMENTARY MAGAZINE) Jonathan S. Tobin 05/17/12)

Commentary Magazine
Commentary Magazine Articles-Index-Top
Americas ambassador to Israel sounded a reassuring note today to Israelis and others wondering whether the direction of the Wests negotiations with Iran was leading inevitably to appeasement of Tehran. Ambassador Dan Shapiro seemed to be echoing the tough talk uttered by President Obama when he spoke to the AIPAC conference in March when, according to the AP, he made the following comments:
Shapiro told the Israel Bar Association the U.S. hopes it will not have to resort to military force.
But that doesnt mean that option is not fully available. Not just available, but its ready, he said. The necessary planning has been done to ensure that its ready
We do believe there is time. Some time, not an unlimited amount of time, Shapiro said. But at a certain point, we may have to make a judgment that the diplomacy will not work.
Though it would certainly be to the advantage of the West were Iran to believe it is in genuine peril of an attack if they refuse to abandon their nuclear ambitions, given the fact that it is EU Foreign Policy chief Catherine Ashton who is running the P5+1 talks, and not someone like Shapiro, Irans obvious confidence that it will prevail in the negotiations is hardly unfounded.
No one, not even the most sanguine leaders of the Iranian regime, doubt there are contingency plans in place for an American attack on Irans nuclear facilities. Unlike the difficulties that the Israeli Air Force would face in mounting such an operation, American forces in the Persian Gulf region are more than adequate to accomplish the task. But to say there are plans is one thing. To believe President Obama would order the use of force if Iran refuses to give ground in the talks is quite another.
Indeed, far from the Iranians doing the retreating, it has been the West that has, as the Iranians havent failed to note. Every red line set by the West on Irans nuclear program has been transgressed. From the putting of reactors on line to the construction of heavy water facilities and now to the refining uranium at a rate that is needed to produce a nuclear weapon, the Iranians acted and then waited for the West to eventually concede the point. That is why they are heading to Baghdad for the next round of talks so confident that the West will allow them to keep their nuclear toys that they are actually demanding the crippling international sanctions that were belatedly imposed on the regime be lifted.
We hope the Iranians are mistaken about President Obamas resolve but nothing he has done as opposed to the many things he has said about the topic has led them to believe they cant get away with building up their capability to the point where converting it to military uses will be quite simple. And because, as the International Atomic Energy Agency has noted, devices for testing military uses of nuclear power are already in place in Iran, they have every expectation that sooner or later they will be able to confront the world with a nuclear fact.
Like much of what the administration has said and done in recent months, Ambassador Shapiros comments seem to be geared more toward convincing Israel to refrain from its own strike on Iran for which the IAF has proclaimed its readiness than a genuine demonstration of an American will to act to forestall the threat.
But rather than judge the administration on its words, it is far wiser to judge them on what happens in the coming negotiations. If, as the Iranians expect, the EU, Russia and China, with President Obama, as always, leading from behind, make progress in the coming weeks toward a deal that will leave Irans nuclear infrastructure in place, we will know the ambassadors statement was merely an empty threat.

Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso team up for new project
Listen to Sebastian Ingrosso on iHeartRadio
With an upcoming residency at the famous Ushuaia in Ibiza starting this summer, it looks like 2/3 of Swedish House Mafia are coming together once again.
According to MixMag, the duo's new project is called "Departures." The residency does not mean the return of SHM. Axwell tweeted:
FYI - departures is not a new SHM, its just a name of a night in ibiza.— Axwell (@Axwell) April 18, 2013
Even though it may not be a new form of Swedish House Mafia, anything from these two is sure to be amazing.
Will you make it to Ibiza this year for Departures??

Wichita, Kan. • The National Baseball Congress college tournament, which has been a fixture in Wichita since 1935, is in financial danger but city leaders and the tournament's operators are vowing to rescue it.
An audit found the tournament's operators owe more than a quarter-million dollars and are two years behind on lease payments for Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. The tournament has made only $1,100 in the last two years, The Wichita Eagle reported.
The tournament began as a semi-professional summer tournament, with Hall of Famer Satchel Paige playing the first year. For many years it featured college and high school stars from across the country, but in recent years has featured about 32 teams with only college players.
The first efforts to revive the tournament through 2014 include more marketing and seeking corporate sponsorships, which have not been pursued by the current managers of the tournament, the Wichita Wingnuts, a privately owned independent league baseball team, city officials said.
"Can it come back? I think it can," City Councilman Jeff Longwell said. "We just need to make sure that everyone is on the same page and understands the consequences of the tournament not working, because the city's not going to subsidize it. We just can't."
The city-requested audit also found that the finances have been "co-mingled" with those for the Wingnuts for the past two years and there was no clear accounting of ticket revenue.
City Manager Robert Layton said the city doesn't plan to inject money into the tournament and will insist on changes to make it more profitable.
"We are totally committed to this tournament and bringing it back to its glory days," Layton said. "I think that everyone agrees the tournament can be better and should be better."
Wingnuts President Josh Robertson said Monday he was optimistic that the team and the city could secure the tournament's future.
"Our ownership group has dug deep into their pockets on several occasions to keep baseball in Wichita," he said. "I want baseball to work in this city."
City officials have already implemented new financial requirements, Layton said Monday, including requiring the Wingnuts to pay off a $138,000 debt to the city by Nov. 1.
The tournament is now being operated on its own set of books and the computerized NBC ticketing operation will be modified for a more accurate accounting of ticket sales, Layton said.

Hi all. I've some trouble while trying to boot BT4r2. With an 8GB pendrive it runs perfectly on my two computers, but, with a 32GB unit, it stops booting when the message "[sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through" is reached. See attached image.
Please note these details:
-Both BT4r1 and BT4r2 run perfectly with an 8GB pendrive on the same hardware, the trouble, most likely, is caused somewhere at the 32GB pendrive. It's a "Kingston data traveller", by the way.
-BT3, runs perfectly from this 32GB pendrive.
-I've tried installing BT4 with both unetbootin and linux live loader from a WinXP machine. 8GB unit always worked, 32GB unit never did. I've tried no less than 4 modern computers, it's not a computer issue, that's for sure. Same results were obtained when using an Vmware virtual machine.
-The 8GB drive has a single WIN32FAT partition (0x0B), the 32GB unit has a single WIN32FAT(LBA) partition (0x0C). I've tried changing the system partition ID (with fdisk) from 0x0C to 0x0B, but no luck, everything stayed the same. BT3 worked anyway, so it's probably not the partition ID either.
In the meantime, I've fallen back to BT3, but I do want to use BT4 on this drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

City Manager Grady Hartzog Sr. was instructed by the Chiefland City Commission at its Dec. 10 meeting to look at the cost of improving the city's octagon-shaped building.
On Oct. 22, the City Commission sought suggestions for how to use the building, which currently sits just north of the fire station. There had been some discussion about moving the building, but as of Dec. 10 the commission wants to leave it where it exists now.

Why Is A Raised Garden Bed Right For You?
Good question!
A raised garden bed extends the planting season, offers versatility to the gardener and helps protect your knees by bringing plants up from a level position on the ground.
Also known as garden boxes, raised garden beds are ideal for growing flowers and vegetables virtually anywhere.
Knowing how to build them, how to use them and how to maximize the rewards you get from them is critical. Luckily, it's fairly simple to do ALL this; both to build a "do it yourself" (DIY) raised garden bed, and to maximze its growing portential.
7 Key Benefits to Raised Garden Beds / Garden Boxes
As easy as they are to position and use, raised garden beds can do a great deal for the user. The following are 7 reasons why you should consider a raised garden bed…
- They provide good drainage to your plants. This keeps plants healthy.
- They prevent the soil from compacting too much, therefore encouraging the growth of roots.
- Raised garden beds also keep pathway weeds from entering into the soil, therefore reducing the amount of work you need to do to keep weeds out of your garden.
- They allow you to add the type of soil you want, including organic soil and compost soil, without having roots enter into deeper, less healthy soil.
- It is easier for many people to tend to plants in a raised garden bed than on a flat surface. You can sit on the edge and weed the garden bed.
- The garden's bedsides create a barrier from many pests. With added fencing along the top, you can even keep out the deer and larger animals.
- They are incredibly versatile. When you build raised garden beds, you do so in the size, shape and overall structure right for your space.
For many people, this type of gardening is the best possible solution because it creates a surface that is ideal for planting and makes the gardener's job far easier. If you think garden beds like these are going to be a good fit for you, the first step is selecting a place to put your bed and understanding how to build a garden box like this. However, before you proceed any further, it's best a get a more complete understanding of the garden box…
What Is A Raised Garden Bed, Exactly?
Before you select any materials or head out into the yard to get the soil tended, you will first need to understand what makes up a raised garden bed. Generally, the most basic box is a garden planter. It contains elevated sides that allow the box to extend a foot, two feet or more up off the ground. You can design these to be several feet high, which allows you to have more elevation from the colder ground, pests and improved height for ease of clearing.
Most raised garden beds have an open bottom. Instead of building a base or a total box with a bottom, you can build just the exterior walls. This allows your plants to reach deeper and to access the nutrient rich soil under the actual mound of soil you will fill the box with.
On the other hand, it is also possible to create a slatted bottom, which creates more structure. If you add a semi permeable cloth barrier to the base, this will allow for drainage while still allowing soil to remain in place in the box. It is most common, though, to have open bottoms with raised garden beds.
Now that you have a better idea of what a raised garden bed is, let's get down to business….

Sugar's desired realtime collaboration experience can only be provided atop a robust and efficient network stack designed to accommodate automated diagnosis and standardized workarounds -- anything less only wastes students' and teachers' time and patience, contrary to our human interface guidelines.
This unfinished essay summarizes an attempt to work out a simple way to realize this sort of network experience, with existing software and hardware, while also demonstrating the sort of thinking which might help other parts of the system achieve the same standard of quality.
Quick links: the Paper : (finished/unfinished sections)
- Prior work: networking, collaboration, network principles
- Background: purpose, scenarios, architecture
- Designs: naming and internetworking, security ideas, diagnosis techniques
- Analyses: cost model, self-test algorithm
- Experiments: dnshash, openvpn, 6to4: HE, 6to4: Sixxs, simulation, openwrt, olpcdyndns1
Personal goals...
- "I want to use familiar tools in my activities, -- like Twisted, curl, ssh, rsync, and email -- both under a tree, in a walled garden, and out on the public Internet, without modification or wrappers."
- "I want a design that has 20% fewer ways to fail, and that offers manual overrides for the failure modes that remain."
- "I want to chop 2-3 levels from the current collaboration stack's 6-level 'fast-path'."
- "I want to collaborate with people who only have web browsers -- they outnumber people with Jabber clients by millions."
Finally, to help out, please improve my writing, experiment with my ideas, and share this work with your friends!

After a hiatus of almost a month, the Del Mar City Council will meet today and touch on several hot topics, including food truck regulations, a city plan that governs future housing development and a resolution urging the Del Mar Fairgrounds to ban gun shows.
Following weeks of controversy, the state-required housing plan — called a housing element — is up for council approval, needed before the document can be sent to Sacramento.
Kathy Garcia, Del Mar's planning and community development director, said the city is pushing against a state deadline, but she's cautiously optimistic. The Planning Commission moved the document forward Jan. 2.
"A lot of community members who had objections worked to produce some real solutions," Garcia said.
When the housing element was presented to the City Council in late November, community members rallied against the document because parts of it closely resembled Proposition J, a downtown revitalization plan recently rejected by voters.
Five community workshops later, the housing element will be back in front of the council with some serious changes. Notably, the plan is missing any mention of an increase in downtown density regulations, a proposed zoning regulation that echoed one found in Proposition J.
In mid-November, the council approved a freeze on new food trucks licenses until the city could develop regulations that specifically addressed the traveling eateries.
Food trucks rolled into town last October and quickly garnered criticism from the brick-and-mortar business community. While unfair competition was high on the list of complaints, the council heard other concerns including noise, odors, restroom availability and recycling procedures.
With no regulations in sight after more than 45 days, the city is looking to extend the new business license ban for another 45 days. The ban doesn't affect food trucks that already received business licenses from the city.
Garcia said the council would be weighing in on whether or not city staff should tackle a mobile vending ordinance that addresses everything from food trucks to video game party trucks, or stick to a regulation specific to the truck-bound eateries.
"We went and did some research on what a comprehensive mobile vending regulation might entail," she said. "We want to make sure that's the direction they want us to go or if they want us to focus solely on food trucks."
The gun show resolution stems in part from the work of Del Mar resident Rosanne Holliday, who has been featured in news outlets all over San Diego for the "Stop Del Mar Gun Show and Sale" sign she hung in front of her home.
After receiving at least two letters from local citizens, the City Council will be presenting a resolution against future gun shows.
The resolution not only urges the fairgrounds to halt any contract renewals with gun show organizer Crossroads of the West, but also bans the usage of "Del Mar" in any future advertising.
"Any advertising of previously scheduled gun shows shall not use 'Del Mar' in any form of advertising which implies endorsement by the City of Del Mar," the resolution states.
Today's city council meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the Del Mar Communications Center, 240 Tenth Street.

I would buy this item again
By Sam
from Northwest Washington State
I have hung this article on the entrance patio to our home and it lights up that area in the evening, giving guests both additional light and a cheery reminder that the holiday seasons are here. I do wish the item were a little bigger so that it made more of a statement.

Hanging Holiday Fun
By J
from Chicago. IL
It's very attractive but much smaller than I thought it would be. Not sure I like the lights as well as the smaller, brighter Italian lights of the past, even though I know LEDs are the green thing to do. Love the timer feature and that it's battery operated.

Stunning Baskets
By Deb
from Pittsburgh, PA
I purchased 2 of these beautiful baskets and they are the PERFECT finishing touch for my outdoor Christmas decor! I received TONS of compliments on these.
Nice Looking and Works Well
By Patty1
from Roselle, NJ
The basket itself is a nice well-made decoration, easy to assemble. However, it is not long enuf and hangs too close to the ceiling. I'll have to figure out a "drop".
I was pleasantly surprised
By Srvhlv
from Sanger Ca
The baskets look so festive on my porch. They were so easy to hang and the timer is great.

Funtimes inspired by the Indian spring festival of Holi. Part of the festivities include decorating elephants with beautiful elaborate paintings; here I imagine that the elephant has grown a bit tired of sitting through the tedious process and has created some fun by spraying his attendants with their own paint.
Quarter-life crisis = solved. The job market is slim, the working conditions are not great, and the pay is slim, but I'm pretty sure it'd be a good fit.
This was a personal project inspired by a fun afternoon I spent wandering around in the West Village with my friend Sara when she last visited me in the city. After a long walk, we happened by chance upon an adorable little cafe that had both amazing coffee AND amazing cookies {a very rare find}. The seats in the sunny window made for a very pleasant place to hang and chat.
My penchant for dressing like a radioactive crayon box becomes quite apparent at my laundromat, which is frequented primarily by sophisticated Manhattan professionals.
Hey kids, veggies are your friends! Or at least broccoli is, as he's a pretty cool dude. This PSA-ish piece was a great opportunity to introduce my green haired pal to little ruby, and they seemed to hit it off right away.
Broccoli and Ruby had so much fun that summer afternoon that they just couldn't be separated at sundown. They celebrated their new BFF status by taking merrily to the evening skies on the amusement park ferris wheel.
It was love at first bite.

An adventure looms on the horizon...this illustration was for a piece on innovation labs. Here I've imagined the concept through the eyes of children who have made the most of their rainy day indoors with some arts and crafts. Now that the storm is passing, they've got the chance to take those newly constructed wings outside and fly.
