I'm sorry for the vague title, but I just don't even know where to begin.
LO is 8 weeks old tomorrow. She was a normal vaginal birth, and 9lbs 9oz. She's my first baby, and I tried desperately for a natural birth but I just couldn't do it: I had nubain first, then the epidural. There was meconium when my water broke so I wasn't able to breastfeed her literally immediately, but she was latched on (poorly) within 20 minutes of her birth. We have had problems breastfeeding from the moment she was born, and I'm about to give up. I'm in constant pain and I'm distraught. I feel like we've exhausted every option.
In the hospital, I fed her round the clock every 2 hours, always with the assistance of nurses. The pain she was causing me was agonising (this is coming from someone who took the epidural, yes, but after 24 hours of labour), so a lot of the time I just fed her drops of colostrum. I thought that it was normal to be in that much pain. Before we even left the hospital, we saw two different lactation consultants. I don't remember what either of them did, but one (I'm going to call her The Breastfeeding Wizard, or TBW) managed to get her to latch without causing me any pain. LO has never been able to do that since.
At her two-week paediatrician appointment, they asked me how breastfeeding was going and I burst into tears. When I told them how much pain I was in (at this point, my nipples were cracked, bruised, and bleeding), they scheduled me an appointment with one of their LCs (LC3). With her, I tried different positions and a nipple shield, and nothing helped. If anything, the nipple shield made it worse. She checked LO for tongue tie and said it was mild but not enough to cause a problem. She brought in another LC (LC4) for a second opinion, and she disagreed: she said it was probably what was causing the problem and we should get it clipped. We got it clipped a week later, and saw absolutely no improvement.
Fastforward to now. We had a consultation for speech therapy and none of their methods (different positions; squeezing LO's cheeks; trying to force her chin down) worked, so they decided we definitely needed the therapy and we started a week later. We've now had two sessions. In the first, they again tried different positions, cheek squeezing, and a nipple shield, to no avail. Positions we've tried along the way include: football hold; clutch hold; side-lying; all 'upright' positions; cradle hold; cross-cradle hold; and some I've just improvised. They tried to get me to support my breast, hold her tongue down with one finger, pull her chin down with another, pull her to my breast AND hold her all in unison: maybe I'm missing something here, but I found that literally impossible to even do. In the second - today - it was much of the same. Again, I cried. I told the therapist that I feel like we've tried everything, and she admitted that we have. She said that all she can think of now is getting an X-ray of LO's head while she's eating (not sure how I feel about that) to figure out what's going on, and she's trying to work with my paediatrician/insurance company so I can see BFW again (we can't afford it out-of-pocket).
Now (sorry, I warned you this was going to be a long post), her suck-swallow-breathe reflex, which had previously been great, is off. She's sucking too much and swallowing too little. She spits up most of what she eats. She cries, kicks, screams and punches when I try to feed her (either bottle or breast, but she's worse at the breast). We're all pretty sure my supply is drying up. I'm renting a hospital-grade pump but I just can't bring myself to use it. I'm SO exhausted and in so much pain, and I hate the pump. I pretty much EP'd for nearly two weeks and they were the most miserable and stressful two weeks of my life. She's also falling asleep at the breast so much that we can go through two hours of "nurse, try to wake, put down for a nap, nurse again because she's screaming" and in that two hours she will maybe spend forty minutes actively nursing.
Throw postpartum depression into all of that, too, and I'm on the edge. My marriage is failing because I do nothing but try to feed her, scream in pain and then cry and stress and obsess. DH and I just had an enormous fight and when he asked if I was even listening to him, I realised that I hadn't taken in a word that he said because even then I was just thinking about this post. I dread feeding her because it never works and it hurts so much. I feel like we've done everything and I should just give up, but I know that if I do that I will never be able to forgive myself.
Please, please help me. Is there ANYTHING else that I can do? Anything?
ETA: diaper output varies. Always enough wet ones, but sometimes she can go a few days without pooping. Weight gain is good: at our last ST appointment, when she was exactly 7 weeks old, she was 11lbs 9oz, a full 2lbs weight gain. Today, just six days later, she's up to 12lbs exactly.

Definition of Organization
An organization never does anything. Never. It can't hurt. It can't bleed. It can't think. It can't act. It's a postulate of a purpose sitting there with communication terminals and communication lines, and that is the totality of the organization. —L. Ron Hubbard
In 1950, as the phenomenal popularity of Dianetics blazed into an ever-increasing demand for auditing and training, some of the finest business minds in the United States converged to form a first foundation. Each a professional in his own right, their skills had been tested in high-pressure, competitive environments. Yet, notwithstanding their varied experience, the combined expertise of these men proved wholly unequal to the booming interest in Dianetics.
In the ensuing six years, as L. Ron Hubbard tells it, he came to realize that those claiming expertise in the field of organization had a single accomplishment to their credit: they had successfully camouflaged a gaping hole in Man's knowledge. For beyond the fact that a word "organization" existed, literally nothing was known about the subject. In consequence, through the ages, organizations have been notorious for impeding instead of forwarding the doingness of individuals. That Man's organizations stayed afloat at all was due only to the initiative and hard work of a few dedicated and desperate executives driving from the top. It has been a story repeated throughout the ages with the recurring collapse of organizations and the civilizations built upon them.
Thus, what stands as the very foundation of Mr. Hubbard's organizational technology is also the first actual technology of organization. Disposing of the arbitraries and falsities accumulated over countless centuries, Ron comprehensively details the fundamental laws and stable data that govern the subject as a whole and shows how to apply them. Whereas these laws form part of the woof and warp of this universe, they remained unknown until the basic discoveries about life and livingness contained in Scientology.
Here, then, is that technology of organization and, with it, the potential of something even greater. For what its application makes possible for individuals, groups, nations and entire civilizations is a completely new world.

OK, but isn't micro/macro still a matter of scale in these descriptions,
not about degree/kind? I confess this is nitpicking and probably moot
since there is no real question that the terms have been coopted and
morphed a bit (not blaming you for that!) for use as in your earlier
post. It's just a reflection of a problem I have with labels in general
and the lack of precision of meaning those shorthand symbols seem all to
often to embody.
And wasn't the micro/macroevolution discussion in the last couple of
exchanges about purely physical evolution?

That seems so straightforward to me.

We now know that 99% of our genes are equivalent to (and 80% of those
EXACTLY identical to) those of the mouse. We both have about 30,000
genes and only 300 are unique to our or their kind! A tail gene is not
unique. We both have it. Fortunately, the tail gene is unexpressed for
the vast majority of us humans. We both also have a horn gene, but this
one is unexpressed for both "kinds". We both have an eye gene that codes
for a simple single-lens eye. But swap that mouse-eye gene into the
eye-gene location of a fruit fly, and it expresses as an appropriately
small compound (multi-lensed) eye! That's a real result. So how
fundamentally different are we in kind - as different species (another
sort of artifici! al and troubled term of differentiation)? The answer
seems to be, "not very", at least in the basic genetic and even
architectural terms. Moreover, the differences that exist seem to be
precisely the result of "the passage of 'enough' time."

Description: Bill Burke, who was honored as a Master Smith June 2008, is best known for creating some of the best hunters that can be found anywhere. Over the last few years, he also put his attention to creating a small number of chef's knives. The results are exceptional.
The European Chef's knife (known as a gyuto in Japan) is well suited for use as a general purpose chef's knife -- from chopping, to slicing and dicing -- from fruits to vegetables and meats, the chef's knife is a great choice. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to cut meat and vegetables and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance right.
The blade was hand forged in a technique known as hon warikomi. This modification of san mai (three layers) forges stainless steel to the sides of a carbon steel blade. The result is the exceptional edge holding of carbon steel with significantly easier care. The transition line between stainless steel and carbon steel is exceptionally dramatic.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed by Mastersmith Ed Fowler in conjunction with Bill and has been proven to create some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.
The octagonal handle is formed from macassar ebony. A Pakkawood spacer adds nice contrast. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

As Eddie O'Neill writes on Page 34, "It is one thing to forgive [one's enemies], and to keep them far away from your day-to-day existence. But Jesus is asking us to 'love' them?"
Yes, what a conundrum. When I was a little girl, I used to take some comfort from Jesus' command to "love your enemies" because — to my very backward way of thinking — the fact that he used the word "enemies" seemed like a useful acknowledgment that they exist and are a normal part of life. It almost seemed like Jesus was giving us tacit permission to have enemies, to make a place for enemies within our lives, as though they could be compartmentalized and shoved into an unused storage portion of our soul. When someone explained that "loving one's enemies" meant little more than "not wishing them ill," well, I felt like I had figured it all out: I would have my enemies, and as long as I didn't actually wish evil on them, I was set for heaven.
That was pretty much how I rolled for about 20 years, until I actually heard someone use the word "enemy" when speaking about another. I had asked a woman in the office why she was so aggravated with a fellow we worked with. "I'll tell you why," she steamed at me, "because that man is my enemy. If he were dying in the street, I would walk right by him."
Coming from the mouth of a woman I generally found to be pleasant and generous in nature, these were some of the most chilling words I had ever heard; they literally gave me goose bumps. I asked what the man could possibly have done to have earned such a vehement condemnation, and she said, with a terrible expression, "He complained about one of my kids not being friendly on the phone."
It was one of those uncomfortable light-bulb moments, when one realizes that complacent ideas from our youth can no longer work and demand reassessment. I had turned the notion of enemies into the equivalent of a benign spot on a spiritual X-ray: nothing to worry about, no threat to the soul.
That was incorrect. The evidence before my eyes — demonstrated in the dark, tense expression of my co-worker and her brutish tone — hit me like a swift punch to the solar plexus; with breathtaking clarity I understood that to entertain the concept of "having an enemy" was to give it room to grow. No benign practice, this was instead a path to spiritual malignancy — a true cancer that could kill the soul.
Jesus did indeed recognize that there are such things as enemies — and we are not meant to wander through our lives reckless and unaware of that which can threaten us or do us harm, and certainly should not turn a blind eye to evil, which is the true enemy — but his command that we love those we perceive to be our enemies is actually a tool for discernment and for our own salvation. To love our enemies means a great deal more than to simply not wish evil upon them; it means making a conscious effort to find a path to our own mercy, for their sake and our own. That path is found, Jesus tells us, through prayer: "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Mt 5:44).
My workplace friend had made an enemy of a man who presumed to criticize her child. Particularly in light of the real persecution suffered by Immaculée Ilibagiza, that might seem like a trivial thing, but we do not know the whole of anyone else's story. Perhaps my friend's child was mildly autistic and his weak phone manners were actually part of a long process of victories and setbacks that had left her with no tolerance for picky critiques. Perhaps the man — her enemy — had been bullied by a parent into caring overmuch about social niceties and was knee-jerk and unthinking in his complaint.
The woman's enemy was the creation of her seething resentment; it was wounding her, not him. To pray for his good would ultimately have helped my friend discern thoughtlessness from real evil, and brought a measure of peace.

Reports published Dec. 13, 2012 in The Mexico Ledger
NORTH CALLAWAY BOYS: What started out as a close game ended up with an 11-point deficit when Clopton pulled away in the third quarter making it a 58-47 decision for the Hawks.
North Callaway had only one player in double figures. Jacob Haubner scored 10 points for the Thunderbirds followed by teammate Brett Metcalf with 9. Miguel Hudson led the team with 7 rebounds and 4 steals.
"We have to be more consistent at both ends," stated North Callaway coach Tim Turlington.
North Callaway: 12-14-10-11
Clopton: 14-13-19-12
North Callaway 3-3 overall and 0-1 conference, plays again at home Friday which is the school's courtwarming. The junior varsity girls play at 5 p.m. with the varsity girls at 6 p.m. and the varsity boys to follow. The crowning of the courtwarming king and queen will be held after the boys' game.
The junior varsity team also lost to Clopton 34-30. Michael Pezold led North Callaway with 13 points. The JV team is 1-2.

Store Profile: The Meadow
- Location: multiple locations and online
- Website: atthemeadow.com/shop
You may remember our interview with Mark Bitterman a few months ago, where he explained the simple truths of salt and let us taste several varieties in his beautiful store. Today we're back to give you a peek into this delightful shop. It carries all of Mark's essentials. Find out what this bon vivant considers the necessities of life.
Hint: these items are not on the USDA food pyramid.
Mark Bitterman, owner of the Meadow and author of Salt, considers salt, wine, chocolate and flowers the essentials in life, that's why he sells these items at his store. Walking into this gem of a shop, on Mississippi Ave in NE Portland, is like being transported into a sensoral vortex. Once you're in there, it's hard to leave. The salts are unexpected and very pungent, flavored with things like cacao, lemon and Japanese plums. Then there's the bright bunches of flowers giving off a heady perfume. Finally, it's the chocolate bars and wine bottles, their packaging and promise of what's inside, that dazzle me into a headspin. This shop is fantastic for gifts, and you may end up with a few purchases for yourself. Oh hello lavender bitters, I must have you!
Speaking of bitters, the Meadow also carries a very broad selection of the delicious (and somewhat mysterious) beverage tonics. It is here that I purchased orange bitters, now a trusty addition to any type of gin cocktail, my favorite being an old-fashioned swizzle. I make this classic drink with gin, lime, sugar and a dash of the orange bitters.
The Meadow has recently opened up a New York City sister shop, located on the West Side, almost at the edge of the Hudson River.
Have you been to the shop in New York City? Or the original location in Portland? Did you fall in love with the place?

text: RB CJ Fuller of Easley holds a Clemson offer and favors the Tigers, so Saturday's junior day would have been a perfect time to become a 2014 commitment. But the two thousand yard rusher fought off any temptation. "I didn't feel like I was ready ready," Fuller said. "I want to give it some more time. They never try to pressure me to commit." Fuller said the day went very well for him. "The whole day went smooth," he said. "I learned a lot about the program. I talked to coach Elliott and he said don't be a stranger, talk to him and stay in contact. He wants me to grow as a player and as an individual." Fuller also plays cornerback and the Tigers told him he could play either position there. He prefers running back. Fuller said Maryland appears close to offering and he will go to Georgia Tech for a junior day March 9th.

TEENpup 2.0.0 what to expect
Subject description: Only a few weeks away
Hello everyone,
TEENpup 2.0.0 is built on a little bit of everything, a bit of KDE, Gnome, gtk etc
I wanted TEENpup 2.0.0 to be able to do what the average PC user would expect an Operating System to do be it Windows, Mac or Linux.
TEENpup 2.0.0 now has better support for digital camera's (Digikam, Gtkam), some scanner's (Kooka). Simple burning of music CD's with K3B
Build up a music library with Madman and so so much more. While it isn't finished, alot of it is in place.
If you take a close look at the screenshot provided, you'll get a better idea of what to expect.
It's final size looks to be around 235Mb's, 9Mb's more than TEENpup 1.0.0 I feel with all the extra Apps that will make day to day use of TEENpup easier, the extra size is worth it.
As TEENpup was originally put together as an install to Hard Drive version of Puppy Linux, its size is still alot smaller than alot of other Distro's out there.

Looking forward to trying it out, thanks for all the hard work in developing it.
Can I ask a few Qs:
a)When you say it was put together as an instal to HD Linux, does it offer a Frugal instal option?
b)More of a comment, but where does the name come from - it gave me the impression it was aimed at teenagers ?
c)Does it 'just work' for streaming media, java, flash or are some additions required after install ?
d)How does it compare / contrast along side 2.15 Community Edition ?

A great mix of apps. What is you base Puppy - looks like 2.15CE?
I wish you well with this. What sort of memory and spec will be required to run it?

Hello Lobster and setecio,
First I'd like to say that at the moment TEENpup 2.0.0 is based on Puppy 2.14 and not 2.15CE.
I imaging that it will install to Hard Drive the same way Puppy 2.14.
It is aimed at teenagers and those young at heart coming with alot of Apps used by Teenagers. But it should still appeal to the average PC User as well.
It has support for Flash 9 and websites like YouTube work fine. It doesn't come with Java support ( See below ) but that can be installed in minutes either using the installer included in TEENpup 1.0.0 or from MU's Dotpup site.
Realplayer files work with included added codecs.
As there is alot of KDE and Gnome base libs to allow Apps like K3B, Glabels, Madman, Kooka and more to work in TEENpup 2.0.0 the "Setup your Printer online Dotpup" and "Java Dotpup" included in TEENpup 1.0.0 had to be removed to keep the ISO size somewhere near what TEENpup 1.0.0 was. If you are using TEENpup 1.0.0 just copy those Dotpups to a CD, USB stick and install them in TEENpup 2.0.0
LOOK CLOSELY at the screenshot as there are Apps there you most likely don't know what they do.
Take the App "lmms" this is a music studio with alot of features.
Or "madman" an App to allow you to build a music library simular to itunes.
KDE's App "kooka" brings support for Scanners. Or digikam which gives better detection of digital cameras. I have searched hi and low to try and bring as many useful apps to a Puppy based Distro as I could. There is 100's of hours experimenting and testing to bring you TEENpup 2.0.0 and I'm very proud of TEENpup 2.0.0 and what it has become. It's now a case of fine tuning and expect TEENpup 2.0.0 in 2 weeks.

Is the install for this about the same as the latest version (2.16? I think). I have a laptop that I'd like to put puppy on, but I can't get past the video install part. xorg. I'm new to Linux, so I might get some simple things wrong.
I'll have to DL your version and give it a whirl anyway. Just because I like the stuff that you added onto it...

Hello TheNose100,
The final ISO looks to be close to 240-250mb's in size. Puppy 2.16 is only 90mb's in size. To add all these extra Apps adds alot to the final size, but also gives you alot of useful stuff to use day to day.
Here's the current desktop and something close to what to expect in the final version.

Have you found a suitable video conferencing package that you could include, maybe something like skype. I'm not sure if it exists though.

Have you considered placing a URL for TEENpup in your sig?
Lobster does this for TMXXINE -- that way whenever the link changes that change
is reflected in every post he has made across the Forum.
I wish that the Forum heading would contain a clickable URL for the Puppy Home Page
and the most recent release of Puppy - it would ease the process of staying current.
Thanks! David

Usually, softwares written in python include the 'py' syllable. The best would be to find a funny/nice/little name, even with not link with the subject, but which could be an acronym related to the motorized panoramic head. This acronym should sound good in french too, as I'm french
Example, 'papyrus' for PAnoramic PYthon then_i_don't_know!
For the acronym, you could include words like: motorized, panoramic, head, controller, driver, automatic... Misspelled words can also be used
So, if you have ideas (and I'm sure you can find very good ones!)...

AlexandreJ wrote:We did here a lot of brainstorming on that. We were looking for 2 names : one for the adaptation of the head and one for the software.
For the adaptation of the merlin head, there's a consensus here, we call it the "panokit" ! It's a panokit for the merlin head that convert the head for panorama shooting : contains the interface, camera shooting cable, iron plate to fix the camera to the head, etc.
I think that designing a full kit with everything needed inside is good and that's why the name is pretty obvious : panokit.
For the naming of the software, one idea exposed is to use "wizard". Merlin is obviously one !
AlexandreJ wrote:Yes, fma38 showed us a working version one month ago. It's so coooooool !
AlexandreJ wrote:Not totally finished. Fma38 is making a first poll to know how many people are interested into such an interface ( that's this post : if you are interested, just post something here : http://www.autopano.net/forum/t2980-interface-merlin-orion-pra-recensement-pour-fabrication ).
Now, there are some part that still need some fine-tunning. For example, to create the interface, fma38 won't do it himself because it really takes time (I won't do it myself either ...). So we need to find a business that is able to build the interface for us. We will plan a meeting soon with a possible partner for that.

Hi there.That painfully shy girl sitting vulnerable in the webcam is me four years ago. I had no idea what to say to people my real life, let alone a room full of strangers using a foreign language. School did not prepare me for this but I worked hard and I was determined to succeed. For research, I watched a ton of porn. "What would you like me to bring?" I would love to do that, "Ipromised even as I wondered how such an act could be enjoyedable much less orgasmic. Yet I saw how much I loved myself and loved it.But after four years of being on Flirt4Free, a tiny voice demanded to be a few months ago, I started a transformation. What you see today is me, in the real, hardcore, but far more intimate. I did not go. am so grateful and susceptible to keep. have no life outside of camming, I never learned the skills to deal with people in real life. But online l feel welcome, appreciated, and I fit in you are my true friends and l spend all my waking moments with you. You keep me strong and make me love this place. Please let me continue to be the seduce of your dreams
My Fantasies
Erotic fantasies are a very powerful stimulant. After all, the most "erogenous" zone is our brain.Let's be frank, blaming men for obsession with sex is really not fair, because we, women, also tend to think about sex, to put it mildly, quite often. And, like every person, I have my own sexual fantasies.Several variants of my sexual fantasies:SEX IN NATUREEvery time I sigh dreamily, admiring scenes from the "Blue Lagoon". The beach, the sea, the starry sky and the sexy male with the relief musculature. Or - a dense forest and lawn with soft grass. A romantic atmosphere and a sense of unity with nature, as well as the share of adrenaline - that's why sex in nature is one of my desires.SEX WITH A STRANGER We crossed eyes, and a minute later we have a stormy sex. No borders, no shame, no complexes, and most importantly no names.THREESOMESThinking about sex threesomes you can anything - it's good, bad or normal. This is permissible or unacceptable. This is debauchery or a normal sexual experiment. Whatever it was, and sex with two partners is my sexual dream.SEX WITH A MAN IN UNIFORMA hot firefighter, a serious doctor or a severe policeman - men in uniforms do not even suspect that they become objects of my sexual lusts.SEX IN A PUBLIC PLACE Restaurant, fitting room, in the cinema or in the car right in the parking lot - who will not get the prospect of being noticed? So yes, the danger excites both partners, probably, therefore this fantasy often turns into reality

Frequently asked Questions1)How did you get into the world of webcams?My friend suggested I try it. I was reluctant at first because I had no idea what would come out of it.

You have to able to reach your fans by being true to them, I love my fans, they are the best in the world.2) How would you describe your first webcam experience?I thought, "OMG, am i really going to do this?" I had a bit of nerves, but as soon as that green light went on the cam, I was like, "Wow." It was like I knew it was what I was meant to do. I loved it. The fans were great and I just kept building and building. 3)How would you compare your webcam show now to when you first started?With time, all things get better. I will always give my fans one hundred percent of me. I only give my best. I keep on smiling and they keep me smiling. I mean, shows have gotten super naughty and fun, but they were always like that. I just had to get comfortable being myself and knowing they loved it.4)Do you do anything in particular to engage your webcam followers? I smile, laugh and be myself while having fun with them. I pay attention to them. I love them. I engage them with my dirty talking and silly teasing ensuring they have the best time possible. They make me want to keep going. It's all about the experience. It's intimate. I care about them. I listen to them. Fans, they are the best in the world.

Finding the Right College Fit: College and Credit – Navigating the College by Making Good Financial Decisions
There are lots of ways to receive income, and lots of ways to spend it. In this EconomicsMinute you will develop two budgets, or plans, to help you decide how to allocate your income. Assuming you do not love making dollar bill rings.
Income is what gets you stuff, but how do you get income? Do you earn an allowance? Do you baby-sit? Do you mow lawns? Do you receive income as a gift? And once you have the income, what do you do with it? Do you run out and get rid of it all immediately? Do you spend some now and some later? Or do you save it all?
There are lots of ways to receive income, and lots of ways to spend it. In this EconomicsMinute you will develop two budgets, or plans, to help you decide how to allocate your income. Assuming you do not love making dollar bill rings, there are really only two things that someone like you can do with your income: spend it or save it. Spending occurs when you use your income to purchase good and services.
When you do not spend your income, you save it. You have several options when saving income. One option is to simply put it aside at home and not spend it. Another option is to deposit the money in a savings account at the bank. Why would you want to put your money in the bank? What does the bank have that your piggy bank does not? When you place money in the bank you earn interest on it. Interest is what you receive for allowing the bank to use your money. The bank pays interest because it wants to encourage people to put money in its accounts. If the bank did not pay interest to depositors, people would just keep their money in their piggy banks. Because interest is expressed as a rate, how much interest you get depends on how much money you put in the bank. The more income you save, the more interest you can expect to receive.
Below, you will find two simple budgets. The first budget assumes that you do not have a savings account. By contrast, the second budget presumes that you have opened a savings account. A budget is a plan to help you figure out what you should do with your income. What part of your income should you spend and what part should you save? What should you spend your income on?
In economics the cost of something is the value the next-best forgone alternative. This cost is referred to as opportunity cost. The highest valued alternative as a result of making a choice is its opportunity cost.
Budget #1 (no savings account)
Let's say you have five dollars. What would you like to spend it on? There are a million things you would love to use your five bucks for, but let's say there are only four things out there that you really want to buy: arcade games, gum, soda, and movie tickets. Look at the price chart in the worksheet and answer the questions that follow.
Budget #2 (with a savings account)
Of course you do not have to spend all of your money. You can save some of your money in your bank account. Let's say you put half of your money, $2.50, into the bank. However, you still would like to buy the same four goods at the same four prices. Fill out the following worksheet.

Buccaneers to find out first-round opponent and location on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 29, 2012) – Having earned a berth into its sixth-consecutive NCAA Tournament by defeating North Florida 4-1 last weekend in the final of the 2012 Atlantic Sun Championship, the ETSU men's tennis team, along with the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, will host an NCAA Selection Show party on Tuesday starting at 6:15 p.m. inside the Humphreys Center.
ETSU invites all fans and media to take part in the celebration. The Humphreys Center is located on the second level of the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. Fans can access the entrance by walking up the ramp on the west side of the building.
NCAA.com will broadcast the announcement of the 2012 field via live-streaming video beginning at 6:30 p.m. Fans and media are encouraged to arrive ahead of time so everybody can be settled in by the time the show starts.
Running the table in A-Sun play for the first time since 2009, ETSU (14-8, 9-0 A-Sun) will head into the NCAA Tournament on a 14-match winning streak. The Buccaneers started the season 0-8, but have not lost since Feb. 25 when they defeated Appalachian State 6-1 at the Bristol Racquet Club.
ETSU will also be looking for its first NCAA win since defeating Alabama 4-2 in 2010. The Bucs are 2-3 overall over their past five NCAA Tournament appearances, with their other win coming in 2008 against Notre Dame. In last year's tournament, the Buccaneers were dealt a heartbreaking 4-3 loss in the first round at the hands of the Fighting Irish. ETSU led the match 3-2, but dropped the two remaining points at No. 3 and No. 4 singles.
For more information on ETSU tennis, please visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the tennis links.


text: The sudden reveal of the Lamborghini Estoque shows what we've only been able to imagine thanks to the numerous teases we've been subjected to. But are we able to imagine a four-door Lamborghini that's better than the reality? The word estoque comes from the world of bullfighting — it's the sword used to kill the bull. So is the Estoque the carmaker's killer car? Or will the car kill the bull-headed brand? Put us in the estounded category, though not necessarily in a good way. We think we know why the company was teasing us with angles: In full form the car is a bit underwhelming. Aft of the A-pillar the Estoque is attractive, if not a bit predictable. And the nose is classic Lamborghini. But the combination of the two elements is somehow incongruous. Perhaps it'll stand up better in person, but so far we're not convinced Lamborghini has advanced the form much. What do you think?

The use of the whip in horse racing
23 May 2012
Veterinarian Professor Paul McGreevy's talk on the use of the whip in horse racing will raise the ire of trainers, jockeys, connections and some of the racing writers.
McGreevy traces the history of animal welfare in his address at the University of Sydney, particularly in relation to horses and his major concern is the use of the whip in horse racing to make "tired horses run faster".
He praises the great skill of the jockeys and the magnificence of the racing thoroughbred but it's his belief that horses can still perform brilliantly ...and win, without being whipped.
Paul McGreevy is with the Faculty of Veterinary Science at Sydney University. His books include Equitation Science - co authored with Dr Andrew Mclean - described as" one of those rare books that will change the way we train horses forever".
He also wrote Carrots and Sticks: Principles of Animal Training. He was awarded a Eureka Prize in 2011 for his work on horse welfare.

Rangel wants women to register with Selective Service
Rangel says the public would be less inclined to send American soldiers into battle if there was a universal draft instead of an all-volunteer army.
WASHINGTON -- Now that the Defense Department has decided to allow women to serve in combat alongside men, New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel wants to give them another task: registering for the Selective Service when they turn 18, just as men do.
Rangel on Friday introduced the All American Selective Service Act, which would double the number of Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 registered with the Selective Service in the event Congress decided to reinstate the military draft.
His proposal changes the conversation from whether women should be able to apply for any position they want, to the perhaps more animated discussion whether the government should conscript women into combat roles during wartime.
That's exactly what Rangel, a Korean War veteran and senior member of New York's congressional delegation, wants to happen. He has long maintained that the public would be less inclined to send American soldiers into battle if there was a universal draft instead of an all-volunteer army.
If women were also subjected to the draft, the reluctance would be even greater.
"Reinstating the draft and requiring women to register to the Selective Service would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation," Rangel said. "We must question why and how we go to war, and who decides to send our men and women in harm's way."
He has another proposal, the National Universal Service Act, which would require young adults to perform two years of national service either in the armed services or civilian organizations such as AmeriCorps.
But it's Rangel's Selective Service proposal that could have some traction this year.
The Defense Department plans to issue recommendations in May on how many combat positions will be opened to women and how they will be integrated into combat roles through 2016.
Part of the report will offer a legal opinion on whether it would be illegal for the Military Selective Service Act to cover only one gender after combat positions are opened to women.
A male-only military draft was ruled to be constitutional by the Supreme Court in the 1981 case Rostker v. Goldberg because the draft's primary purpose was to conscript combat replacements in wartime and women were excluded from those assignments. The court took a similar position in regard to registration with the Selective Service system.
The draft ended in 1973, and the military has relied on an all-volunteer force since then. Women have become an important part of that force. Last year the Defense Department said women made up 14.5% of active military personnel, including 7.25% of officers and 10.9% of the senior enlisted personnel.
And the role of women has been changing over the past decade because the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had no clearly defined battlefield and safer rear staging areas for those serving in non-combat support positions.
In a report last February, the Defense Department said its decision to allow units with women in non-combatant positions to co-locate with combat units did not go far enough to warrant a change in the Military Selective Service Act. Nor did the earlier decision to open some combat roles to women require a change in the law, the Defense Department concluded.
This latest step, however, could make a change legally necessary.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon is awaiting that May report before deciding whether any changes need to be made to the Selective Service system, according to spokesman Claude Chafin.
"We are certainly going to exercise oversight of the implementation of the secretary's policy decision to open more service positions to women and part of that oversight is looking at the reporting requirement that's in the law," Chafin said.
Beth Livingston, a professor of human resource studies at Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, said that discussing whether women should register for the Selective Service could be another step in breaking down gender stereotypes.
"I think it would start a conversation about how our gender stereotypes aren't necessarily true and aren't necessarily based in reality," Livingston said. "I think it would start a conversation that included men and how unrealistic expectations toward masculinity can affect men."

Mark Reuss says the next-generation Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-sized pickups will be so much better than the bland outgoing models, General Motors might come up with new names.
"We're targeting a new generation of buyer with a new truck," the GM North America president told reporters this week.
That's good. Because GM's entire pickup strategy relies greatly on the success of those new mid-sized offerings.
Sticking with a mid-sized pickup is a big bet that diverges from rivals Ford and Chrysler, which have walked away from the segment.
GM's rivals don't seem to expect a revival in the shrunken market for mid-sized pickups. It's shriveled to just 264,197 units last year, from more than a 1 million in 2000, when the Ford Ranger, Chevy S-10 and Dodge Dakota were showroom staples.
Somewhere along the way, the line between full- and mid-sized pickup blurred. Most buyers didn't see the logic in opting for a smaller truck that didn't offer a whole lot better fuel economy -- or a much cheaper sticker price.
But Reuss contends that full-sized trucks can't be all things to all buyers. They are workhorses for people who use their trucks for a living.
The mid-sized trucks will be for people who like the functionality of a truck but don't need big towing capacity and want better gas mileage.
Want the same 25 mpg highway rating on the Ram 1500? You won't be able to get it on either of GM's redesigned full-sized pickups, the Silverado and Sierra, which should hit showrooms in June. But how about the new Colorado or Canyon?
That in a nutshell will be GM's strategy once the redesigned mid-sized pickups land in late 2014.
So how can GM unblur that line between full- and mid-sized?
It must give consumers a clear choice: A mid-sized pickup that offers styling, features and fuel economy that a full-sized pickup can't sniff. A diesel engine, for example, would give those smaller pickups a sizeable mpg edge over its bigger brethern.
Reuss wouldn't comment on prospects for a diesel engine. But he did promise that GM will "attack the West coast with a lifestyle truck that is really beautiful and fun."
When they're unveiled this fall, the new Colorado and Canyon -- or whatever GM decides to call them -- will raise the curtain on one of the most interesting chess matches unfolding in the auto industry.

Feb 18,2013
Bristol, Tenn- The King University Softball team lost a pair of games to USC Aiken Monday afternoon, dropping game one 4-1 in nine innings and dropping game two by 5-0 decision.
Game One USC Aiken 4 King University 1 F/9 innings
King sent junior hurler Hannah Light to the circle in game one of Monday's doubleheader. Light held the Lady Pacers at bay through seven innings of work, allowing just four hits and no runs. USC Aiken starter Taylor Morgan was equally impressive, holding the Lady Tornado offense to just one hit, a leadoff single by Junior Cassie Ringstaff in the first inning, through her seven innings of work.
USC Aiken was first to break the scoreless tie, plating a run in the top of the eighth on a RBI single to center field by Brittney Williamson, giving USC Aiken a 1-0 lead.
In the bottom half of the eighth, sophomore Stephanie Rodriguez grounded out to second base to start the inning, advancing senior Aubree Hutt to third on the play. Cassie Ringstaff then delivered a sacrifice fly to shallow left, allowing Hutt to score, making it 1-1.
USC Aiken would finally break the game open in the top half of the ninth, plating three runs on three hits, with the big hit coming from a two-rbi single from Sarah Montei. The Lady Tornado brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom half of the inning, but Lady Pacer hurler Taylor Morgan would strikeout Freshman Octavia Lewis-Rand to the end the threat, and give USC Aiken the 4-1 victory in game one.
The Lady Tornado recorded just two hits in game one, both singles. Ringstaff led the way going 1-for-3 with a run batted in. Jordan Johnson was also 1-for-2 with a walk.
Light went the distance for King, tossing nine innings, allowing eight hits, four runs (two earned), fanning five and also registering two walks. With the tough luck loss, Light drops to 1-4 on the young season. Pacer Starter Taylor Morgan also logged nine innings of work, allowing just 2 hits and one unearned run. Morgan walked five and registered 11 strikeouts.
Game Two USC Aiken 5 King University 0
USC Aiken jumped out to a 2-0 lead through two innings of play, fueled by a Brandy Bossle two rbi double to right field. The Lady Pacers would plate another run the top half of the fourth, this time on another Bossle double to right center, making it 3-0 USC Aiken after four innings of play.
The Lady Tornado offense struggled once again to get anything going, mustering just two hits through five innings against Pacer starter India Kornegay.
USC Aiken would plate two more in the seventh inning, on a wild pitch and sacrifice fly to make the score 5-0.
Kornegay would retire the Lady Tornado in order in the bottom half, completing the shutout and giving the Pacers the 5-0 game two victory.
Freshman Morgan White tossed seven innings in game two, allowing eight hits, five runs (four earned), with one walk and one strikeout. White drops to 1-2 on the year.
Kornegay improves to 1-2 on the year, tossing seven innings of shutout ball, allowing just two hits. She also registered nine punchouts.
Hannah Smith and Aubree Hutt collected the only two hits for the offense in game two, both singles.
With the sweep, USC Aiken improves to 3-3 on the season. The Lady Tornado now sit at 2-8 on the year. King will hit the road for the their next contest, traveling to Newberry College on Wednesday February 20th. First pitch is set for 2pm.

LCI's Grimes is VP, Towable Chassis Engineering
January 8, 2013 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
Goshen, Ind.-based Lippert Components Inc (LCI) announced the promotion of Marc Grimes to VP of towable chassis engineering, according to a press release.
Grimes, who has served on Lippert's frame operations team for 13 years, graduated from Miami of Ohio with a bachelor's in engineering. He will take the lead in frame engineering and design, structural analysis, finite element analysis (FEA) and product development, as well as leading the frame sales and audit teams he helped create.
His group will focus on creating better design solutions for LCI's OEM customers by working closely with their engineering departments. Grimes will also focus on next generation frame designs and new frame features.
"This new team will develop the next generation of chassis products to maximize structural strength and use of materials, and minimize weight," said Grimes. "Part of this process involves sitting down with our customers and working closely with each of them, offering more value in the way of design, testing and assistance with our customers' design process. Our goal is to continue to offer customized efficient designs for each and every one of our customers."
"Chassis have evolved significantly over the last 10 years," said Jason Lippert, CEO of LCI. "Chassis design has historically been straightforward for the most part, but today there are complex storage solutions, turning radius designs, leveling systems, multiple slide-out rooms, integrated hitches and bike racks to name just a few. This growing complexity of the chassis makes it important for us to focus on where the future of chassis design is going, and Marc will help us get there."
LCI currently produces over 250,000 frames per year. Just recently, LCI invested further in their research and development program by adding a rapid prototype machine, new testing equipment, and dedicated fabrication equipment to help bring new products to the market at the speed in which the RV industry moves.

Lamb and Cucumber Kebabs with Feta Sauce
I always feel a certain sense of accomplishment when I make a recipe from one of my magazines. It's most likely because I read through stacks of magazines, tear out countless recipes and then do nothing with the vast majority of them. They end up in all corners of my house: on tables, in the office, folded in cookbooks... But few of them are ever put to the test. This particular recipe caught my eye for a few reasons. First, it was on a little tear-out recipe card in the June issue of Living. Second, it was short and could easily be made on a weeknight. Third, it combined lamb and feta - yum! And perhaps most appealing, it had grilled cucumbers. The idea fascinated me. I love cukes - but they're for salads and such, not for grilling. Or are they?
Very much to our surprise, the cucumbers kept their crunch on the grill. They were juicy and provided a great change from the veggies we usually grill. Dipped in feta sauce and paired with a juicy piece of lamb, they just couldn't be better. I'm convinced. I wonder what I should grill next (I'm skeptical about lettuce on the grill too, so maybe that'll hit the flames sometime soon.)
Bottom line, this recipe is an easy way to get great Greek flavors on your table in almost no time at all. The hardest part was trimming the leg of lamb. I bought a boneless leg that was a little over 3 pounds and I used half for this meal and froze the rest for a future dinner. It was more than enough for two of us - Jeff will have leftovers for lunch on Friday. If the sauce is too thick for your taste, add a little more olive oil.
Lamb and Cucumber Kebabs with Feta Sauce
adapted from Martha Stewart Living, June 2010
For the kebabs
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 lemon, cut into 4 pieces
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. fresh oregano, finely chopped
About 1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 and English cucumber, halved lengthwise then cut into 1-inch thick pieces
Salt and pepper
For the sauce
3 ounces feta, crumbled
4 ounces fat-free Greek yogurt
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Juice of half a lemon
To make the kebabs, combine the oil, zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and lamb in a non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (You don't need a lot of salt because the feta adds enough saltiness in the sauce). Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Refrigerate.
Heat grill on medium high heat. Alternate lamb and cucumber on skewers and finish each with a piece of lemon. Grill 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. Serve with the sauce.

That looks wonderful! Funny that she put that recipe in Living because Everyday Food has Scallop, Orange and Cucumber Kebabs. I like the sound/look of yours better. She must just ask her staff to come up with several recipes using one item (cucumber).

Edible Design: Laser-Cut Sushi Rolls?
This is something we haven't seen before: laser-cut sushi rolls. After the 2011 tsunami, Japanese ad agency I&S BBDO created these detailed laser-cut nori designs for their client, Umino Seaweed, in five classic Japanese patterns.
The five designs include: Sakura (Cherry Blossoms), Mizutama (Water Drops), Asanoha (Hemp), Kikkou (Turtle Seashell), Kumikkou (Tortoise Shell). This is merely a new product proposition and not yet on the market, but look out! You may see it on store shelves in the near future.

On July 30, 2011, the Indianapolis Colts decided not to mess with success. They renewed the contract of star quarterback Peyton Manning who, in a fit of generosity, agreed to five more years of service for a mere $90 million. He didn't need to be the highest-paid player in the National Football League, he said, and he would make do with the same $18 million a year that Tom Brady squeaked by on.
It turned out to be a better deal than anyone realized. On Sept. 7, 2011, after problems recovering from neck surgery he had undergone four months earlier, the Colts disqualified Manning from appearing in the upcoming season opener. The next day, he was back on the operating table. Although the team didn't put Manning on injured reserve, he would be out of commission for an unspecified period of time that could go on for months, if not the whole season.
Whatever happens, the team still has to keep paying his salary. Even if Manning spends the entire 2011 season out of commission, he will still receive the $18 million he would otherwise get for his services on the gridiron. This happens almost any time a professional athlete is injured during the season. The only question is how much money the teams will have to pay while the athlete recovers. In most cases, the costs can run into the millions of dollars.
