Middleweight Matthew Macklin (29-4, 20 KOs) will fight WBA and IBO champion Gennady Golovkin (26-0, 23 KOs) on June 29 at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The fight will be televised on HBO and the pair will slug it out in a contest scheduled for 12 rounds.
Both men and their representatives were at a press conference at Gallagher's Steak House in Manhattan on Saturday to officially announce the fight. Michael Buffer, who called Golovkin "the middleweight that no one wants to fight," emceed the event.
Macklin has decided to take up that challenge and will pit his wits against the heavy-handed Kazak, who has an incredible 88 percent knockout rate.
That statistic does not faze Macklin, who will fight for a world title for the third time. He lost a controversial decision to Felix Sturm in June 2011 and retired after 11 rounds against Sergio Martinez on March 17 of last year.
"It is a 12 round fight and I know I am going to get hit. I have confidence in my chin, but I am curious to see how hard he hits, but you know, I hit hard too," said Macklin.
"I am just so focused on getting myself right and getting my game plan right on the night."
Macklin admitted that he initially wanted to fight a tune up in June on a card that featured Golovkin in a separate fight, with the two men to meet in September had they both prevailed. However, it soon became clear that the window for him to fight the 2004 Olympic silver medalist was June and June only.
"The opportunity is there now, it may not be there in September. We went back and forward and then I thought 'I haven't been the most active of fighters anyway.' It was nine months between the Sturm and Martinez fight," added Macklin, who has only fought less that one round since March 2012 (a first round TKO win over Joachim Alcine last September).
"I didn't want to miss this opportunity, as I want to be the guy who beats this guy."
Macklin knows that he will have to be at his best to beat Golovkin.
"He is certainly not going to be as awkward as Sergio Martinez. He's not a southpaw for one. He is pretty straight up, a what you see is what you get big puncher, and he's strong. He has good distance, good head movement and he is a good fighter. I am expecting a tough, tough fight."
Golovkin, who is trained by Abel Sanchez, comes across as a very humble and likeable champion and expects that this will be his most difficult test.
"We know that this is a very difficult fight for us, and one of the biggest fights that can be made in boxing right now. Matthew is going to be the toughest challenge I have ever had," he said.
"He is just as big, fast and strong as me and we are expecting a very tough fight on June 29th."
Macklin's manager, Brian Peters, was also in attendance and said that his fighter "got an extremely good deal," but that is because HBO knows what his fighter brings to the table.
"Most middleweights don't want to walk on the same side of the street as him [Golovkin]. Matthew is a warrior and will put it up to him," said Peters. "Matthew will hit him and hit him regularly and it is going be one hell of a fight."
Macklin will spend his training camp in Marbella, Spain, at his own gym. Trainer Buddy McGirt is expected to join him in two weeks. Serbian Geard Ajetovic, who Macklin defeated in 2008, has been lined up as one sparring partner as he has a style similar to Golovkin.
Since his last fight, Macklin has had a nose operation to fix a breathing issue that has irked him for some time. The procedure was a success and he believes it will help improve his stamina "no end."
Macklin also believes his experience will be a crucial factor. He cites the fact that Golovkin has only gone 10 rounds once in his career against Kassim Ouma in 2011.
Macklin has gone 10 rounds or more on nine occasions and hopes that he will be able to take the champion into the deep waters of a long and hard fight to test what he is really made of.
"I am at a better starting point for this fight than I was for Martinez. I have been training with Seamus [his brother] for the past two months. I am so excited about this fight. I think this is coming at a perfect time for me," Macklin says.
Tickets for the fight are available from foxwoods.com.

NEW YORK - Not all that long ago E L James was Snowqueens Icedragon, cranking out her sexed-up "Twilight" fan fiction online.
Well, faster than you can shriek your safe word, her kinky "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy has fanfic of its very own in the same place where she first serialized her story under a different title.
"I'm immensely flattered, and it's humbling to know my work is inspiring others to write," James said in a statement less than three months after "Fifty Shades" was published by Vintage Books and climbed to the top of best-seller lists.
The writings range from parody to otherworldy to crossovers into other book worlds like "Harry Potter." Some is barely discernible in style from James' three - often the point in fanfic - advancing time or pushing it back with new imaginings of her story and characters.
Fan fiction for "Twilight" remains among the most popular at FanFiction.net, James's former home, with nearly 200,000 contributions there, behind only Potter for books. The number for James's three is growing, but still well under 50.
The irony of all of that hasn't been lost on some of the writers and reviewers on FanFiction.net, the largest gathering place for largely anonymous fanfic writers. Asked one on the site: "How absurd is it to write fanfics OF fanfics?"
No more or less absurd than the concept of fan fiction, which stretches back at least to the early 1900s and the stories of Sherlock Holmes, said Anne Jamison, an English professor at the University of Utah who taught a unit on the "Twilight" fandom.
"There was fan fiction before you called it fan fiction," she said, "and before there was copyright it was called writing."
In more recent years but before the rise of the Internet, the early "Star Trek" series helped boost the popularity of fanfic. It exists today online for numerous TV shows, movies, comic books, plays and games, done in many genres and much of it with big fat disclaimers declaring it's all just for fun.
When James was still back in "Twilight" fandom toiling on her "Master of the Universe," beginning in mid-2009, she received anywhere from nearly 40,000 to nearly 60,000 comments on FanFiction.net. That's an immense number then and now, propelling her stardom.
The London mother and TV producer eventually moved the story to its own website, reworked it with non-"Twilight" names and signed on with a small Australian company known for plucking and publishing fan fiction for e-book and print-on-demand hard copy.
Vintage, a literary imprint of Random House, snatched up the rights after the buzz began building, paying seven figures for the bondage erotica and leading James to a movie deal with Universal Pictures and Focus Features.
Sales for the trilogy are at 10 million and counting across formats, Vintage said Tuesday.
Jamison dived into the "Twilight" fandom with her students in the summer of 2010 at a time of derision for James in the community, largely over her crossing from the "just for fun" part to the cashing in part.
While it's not unprecedented for writers to publish fanfic, "There is this whole network predicated on not having any sales," Jamison said. "It was a huge rift in the fandom."
To many fanfic writers, the point is to honor the original work, drawing on the existing characters and stories. It's unclear whether telling the "Fifty Shades" story from the point of view of a tampon, as one fic does, is tribute or a not-so-subtle message for James.
Other "Fifty Shades" undertakings are written by fans who already miss the stories or just wanted to provide a laugh. Lucia Paul, writing as Nancy O'Toole, falls into the latter category with her "Fifty Shades of Flannel."
The freelance writer in Minneapolis, a 49-year-old mom of two, has Anastasia Steele's mother as protagonist in a Lanz nightgown as she galavants with the young, rich and hunky Christian Grey, cutting her sleepwear into sexy outfits for his pleasure.
"This beguiling satyr of a man! He knows the ways of Lanz: the ballooning illusion of comfort that hides a roiling sea of passion. So few understand. So few will ever know."
Paul isn't much of a "Twilight" fan and read only the first of James's books. "Then I saw her on the 'Today' show and I liked her, but I still thought, 'Gosh, I've got to make fun of this.' I love writing humorous pieces."
The "Fifty Shades" books chronicle the hyperactive sex life and love story of the damaged Grey and the innocent Steele from her perspective, soon after they meet when she interviews him for her college newspaper.
"I'm learning how to write naughty. It's not so easy. You have to break down your own shield. You have to open yourself up to write naughty," said 60-something aspiring fiction writer Nancy Hartmann in Gillette, N.J. Her "50 plus 15" story has Grey seducing one of his teen daughter's teachers.
Some of the people reading and creating "Fifty Shades" fanfic haven't read the books, or have barely read the first one but appreciate the stories as an extension of their true love, the four-book "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer.
The rapid publication of all three "Fifty Shades" books has other fans in withdrawal and seeking more - even if it's not the real deal.
Sara Eberhart, a 22-year-old college student in Athens, Ga., considers herself a "Fifty Shades" fan, with qualifications, and is also following a few of the stories on FanFiction.net.
"James's writing style is weak and pedestrian and there can be much improvement and I think that's what all of the fanfic writers are sensing and consequently writing their own version of," said Eberhart, who hopes to be a published author someday.
"But when I do start trying," she added, "it won't be my fanfic that I would be sending out to publishers."

Coleman to challenge recount in court
ST. PAUL - Norm Coleman will go to the courts in hopes of returning to the U.S. Senate.
Coleman announced this afternoon his campaign will contest the results of the statewide recount that gave him 225 fewer votes than Democrat Al Franken.
"As of today not every valid vote has been counted and some have been counted twice," Coleman said as he was surrounded by dozens of supporters in a packed room across the street from the Capitol building.
Coleman's announcement came a day after the state Canvassing Board approved the recount vote total that gave Franken a narrow margin.
Franken declared victory Monday and called himself "the next senator from Minnesota." The former "Saturday Night Live" comedian acknowledged further legal action was possible, but said he would focus on getting to work for Minnesotans.
State law says an election certificate cannot be issued until seven days after the vote is finalized, during which time a lawsuit challenging the result can be filed. In that case, the winner does not receive an election certificate until after the court challenge plays out.
The new Congress convened today with Minnesota represented by only one senator - Democrat Amy Klobuchar.
Franken took no questions from reporters huddled outside his Minneapolis home on Monday, and his campaign refused to say whether he planned to travel to Washington without an election certificate. Senate Democrats had raised the possibility of provisionally seating Franken, pending the outcome of a possible legal challenge, but later said that would not occur as the new Congress convened today.
The Canvassing Board's action wrapped up a two-month statewide recount with plenty of wrinkles and surprises. Coleman entered the recount leading Franken by more than 200 votes, but that flipped after the hand recount of 2.9 million ballots the counting of improperly rejected absentee ballots.
The official total gave Franken 1,212,431 votes to Coleman's 1,212,206.
Coleman's six-year Senate term ended Saturday and his offices were ordered closed Monday.

Defunding Planned Parenthood was a hot legislative trend in 2011, but now it seems that all that hard, not-really-job-creating-at-all work put in by our Tea Partying state legislatures is being slowly undone by the court system. The newest state that has been told, in no uncertain terms, that you can't defund Planned Parenthood just because you don't like abortion is Indiana.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that Indiana's law blocking Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood clinics interfered with Medicaid recipients' right to obtain health care from the provider of their choosing, according to the Wall Street Journal. Translation: you can't tell poor people they can't get cancer screenings from a clinic just because some doctors at the clinic (or employed by the same organization that owns the clinic) sometimes perform abortions. That's called interfering with other people's health care because you think zygotes are magic! NOT COOL.
This latest ruling conflicts with the notoriously-whackadoodle Fifth Circuit's ruling that allowed Texas to expressly block Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funding, but concurs with the most recent ruling in another court case clusterfuck unfolding over a similar Arizona law.
Sour grapes-tasting anti-Planned Parenthood advocates can't blame "activist judges" for this one, either; the circuit that blocked the Indiana law consisted of a George W. Bush appointee, a Reagan appointee, and a Carter appointee.
Yes, Republican laws about women's health care are so crazy that not even George W. Bush-endorsed judges can stomach them.

The number of open-source projects that use the GNU General Public License Version 3 has grown to more than 2,000, according to Palamida, which sells software and services for tracking open-source code within a customer's code base.
"Our database now contains over 2,000 projects that are using the GPL v3. "At this rate the GPL v3 is being adopted by 1,000 projects every 4-5 months, and if the trend continues, the license will be used by 5,000 projects by the end of the year," states a recent posting on Palamida's blog.
The Free Software Foundation approved the GPL v3 in June 2007 following a protracted public discussion and amid dissent from Microsoft, which denied that its ongoing patent and interoperability agreement with Novell means it is subject to the license's terms.
Richard Stallman, president of the Free Software Foundation, described the advantages of moving to GPL v3 -- which include added protection for users from patent infringement claims -- in a essay published here.

Minimum Wage Hurts Teenagers and Minorities
Minimum Wage Hurts Teenagers and Minorities
Everyone has heard that money doesn't grow on trees. If it did, then Michigan Congressman David Bonior's call to raise the federal minimum wage might make sense.
Unfortunately for black teenagers and other workers with developing job skills, Congressman Bonior's efforts actually make it harder for them to find work.
When legislators raise the minimum wage, they make it illegal to pay a worker below the government-mandated limit. If that limit happens to be more than that worker's job is worth, he is legally forbidden from keeping—or getting—his job.
Historically, it's always been those with limited earning power—poor blacks, teenagers, and unskilled women who have just joined the workforce—who are most harmed by minimum wage hikes.
According to U.S. Department of Labor figures, 20,000 workers lost their jobs following the 1996 minimum wage hike, while unemployment among black teenage boys jumped from 37 to 41 percent.
That's why Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman calls the minimum wage "the most anti-black law on the books."
Raising the pay of hard-working employees is a desirable goal, but increasing the minimum wage just prices the most vulnerable workers out of the labor market.
For the Mackinac Center, this is Catherine Martin.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara scored a goal in each half and sophomore goalkeeper Beth Ritter came up with a career-high six saves in a 2-0 win at San Jose State on Sunday afternoon. It was the Gauchos fourth straight win - their longest streak in five years - all by way of shutouts.
"This was quite a weekend," said head coach Paul Stumpf. "This team just kind of rolls with the punches and that's really starting to pay divivdends."
Stumpf was referring to the fact that an hour out of Santa Barbara, UCSB's bus had a flat tire and the team had to wait on the side of the road for more than three hours before continuing north to San Jose.
"We were hoping to get to the hotel, relax, get something to eat and then go to the (San Jose) Earthquakes game," he said. "We wound up getting to the 7:30 game at 7:50 and then we were supposed to have food delivered at eight, but before we knew it, it was 8:10 then 8:20, then 8:30, but this team made the best of it and some how came up with a 2-0 win today."
Despite being outshot 6-1 in the first half, the Gauchos led 1-0 at the break. In the 18th minute, Dakota Griggs played a ball in to Angelisa Cortez who went one-on-one against the goalkeeper and scored from about 15 yards out. It was the first goal of the season for Cortez.
"Once again, we changed things up in the second half," Stumpf said. "They were a little fresher than us. We played on Friday and they didn't, but the second half was more even."
Actually, it wasn't even as UCSB doubled its advantage at 65:02 when Ali Ariniello got the ball to Madison Beckley. Beckley unleashed a shot that was re-directed by Indiana Mead, past Spartan goalkeeper Zoe Makrigiannis. It was Mead's second goal of the season.
The Gauchos were outshot 13-6 overall, but only 6-4 in shots on goal.
Ritter was up to the challenge in goal as she saved all six of San Jose's on-frame shots. She was also a little lucky.
"They had a PK against us and it hit the post," Stumpf said. "That was a little lucky, but sometimes you create your own luck and this team is fiinding a way to do that.
UCSB is now 5-2-1 on the season and has won all five of its games by way of shutout. San Jose State, which was playing its first home game of the season, drops to 0-7-0.
The Gauchos return to action on the road next weekend when they travel to Albuquerque, N.M., for games against the University of New Mexico on Friday, Sept. 20 and Texas Tech on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Washington, D.C.-- The National Center for Victims of Crime congratulates the Minnesota House of Representatives Civil Law Committee for its support to lift the civil Statute of Limitations on child sex abuse, and its vote to create a legal "window" for past victims to bring actions.
"Child abusers and the institutions who shelter them have been able to 'run out the clock' and avoid justice because their victims are often adults before they are ready or able to come forward," said National Center Executive Director Mai Fernandez. "Yesterday, Minnesota House legislators affirmed that their priority is protecting children and holding negligent institutions accountable."
This important three year window in the House version of the Child Victims Act will allow any survivor of sexual abuse to bring suits forward for three years (until 2016). In addition, the House version ends the civil Statute of Limitations for future child abuse cases, with the exception that claims based on vicarious liability will still be subject to the six-year Statute of Limitations that currently exists in Minnesota law.
The three year window to file suit is similar to legal windows passed in California, Delaware and Hawaii. In California it was this crucial legal window that led to the release of Los Angeles Archdiocese personnel files which implicated senior clergy of relocating abusers in an elaborate attempt to exploit the Statute of Limitations.
The Child Victims Act must now pass the House Judiciary Committee, a full House vote, and be voted for by the Minnesota Senate.
"We call on all Minnesota lawmakers to stand with the survivors of child abuse and to protect all children in the state of Minnesota by voting to pass the Child Victims Act," said Ms Fernandez. www.victimsofcrime.org/ChildVictimsAct/ @CrimeVictimsOrg

I don't want to drag this too far away from the topic at hand (which is a series that interests me very much) so this will be my last thought on PA Works in this thread. But I want to respond to your post, because I think this raises an interesting point.
If you'll pardon me for oversimplifying a bit, what I think we have here is a difference between seeing anime as a craft and seeing it as an art. You're pointing out specific area in which you feel ufotable, et al are technically superior to PA Works. And I'm telling you, what PA Works brings to the table that I don't normally see from most other studios is a sense of personal vision. It's hard to quantify so easily, but in addition to a "look" that's signature to their stuff (that can be a double-edged sword) their art reflects an aesthetic sense that I've never seen from, for example, a ufotable series.
For all its many, many, many, many, many, many many narrative flaws, for my money HanaIro is a far more beautiful series than Fate/Zero visually. ufotable can impress and dazzle, and they make better use of CGI than just about anyone. But as art, I find their look slightly cold and clinical. I've even seen that in some KyoAni stuff, too, though Hyouka is wonderfully expressive and whimsical visually.
Lastly, on the Tsuritama reference, I agree with you that the example you show and the series generally are fantastic visually - but Nakamura was going for something quite singular in the look of the series (as he always does). I don't think I'd bring it into a PA Works/KyoAni/ufotable et al discussion because it's like referencing Picasso in a debate about who was the greatest of the Impressionists.

P.A Works not have any notable animators on their belt, like Bones, I.G, KyoAni or even Ufotable (although this one maybe exaggeration)have. in A-1 case they just simply hire them.
Pretty weird to say P.A is top tier animation studio without someone talented work with them. Because Animation quality is a lot to do with talent.
And I think Birdy 1st season, Welcome to space show, and The Idolm@ster trump everything that P.A ever done.
EDIT: Their relic of anime no chikara looks fantastic too. if you like exotic background n pretty chara design you can check Senkou no Night Raid.

i think the biggest flaw of P.A is that they seem to go down instead of improving, their animation seem to decay every new series they produce, maybe people keep judging P.A for they canaan/AB animation, and A-1 biggest problem one in the past was the story composition or/and bad direction, lots of good animation with uninteresting story or poorly told, but thats something they seem to had overcome,but it seems this influx on their work has its price in lackluster animation, but i personally prefer it like this.

Isn't there an argument to be made about detail and how that affects animation? I generally think Ufotable's work is more detailed than most, and that is why they don't have enough budget to have constant motion. Contrast something like Idol Master which sure was fluid, but nowhere near as detailed IMO.

theres also the point of animating something that involves a lost of frames(action scene, dance), and animating people talking, its why kyoani animation looks so fluid, they´re animating poeople sitting and talking for a good while now, while ufotable shows stead animation in an action movie/series, so i expect kyoani animate that kyokai no kanata to see how they do something (that seems) more action oriented.

I agree that it would be bad to derail this topic any further. At this point, PA Works, Ufotable, and KyoAni really have nothing to do with the show this topic is about, and it would be a disservice to continue this discussion here. Obviously I disagree that Hanasaku Iroha looks better than Fate/Zero, but that really doesn't matter, and honestly I like both series a lot, so whatever.
From the New World is going to be a really interesting directorial debut for Masashi Ishihama, and hopefully the acclaimed source material gives him good material to flex his creative vision. It's great to see Chikashi Kubota as a character designer again too, hopefully there are more ex-Gainax animators involved in the project too. It'll be nice to see if Trigger and Sushio will contribute to the series, like they did for Idolmaster.

This is getting a lot of attention elsewhere though ... just for the wrong reasons. The manga's getting to a pretty sexual point, I'm sure if you just show those images to other people they probably think this is hentai or something. Obviously from the intro post everyone know this is scheduled for TV Asahi, which currently doesn't have a consistent late night anime time slot (or is it none at all?). The main concern now is that this anime isn't really appropriate for an early time slot, and the homepage updated that they will have an update for the full schedule soon (<-- I always find update for an update funny, hahaha ... orz).
This really doesn't concern us but it's kinda interesting to see what the current situation is I guess.
Something that I didn't post during the last update (and I just forgot about it afterward) is that they already told us the characters will progress through age 12, 14, and 26, which brings it to a big-scale 3 part work (三部作). People were hung up over the 3-part thingy because they didn't know if it meant 3 cour or what, and I didn't follow up after so I don't know either. The wording's weird because the novel only had 2 parts and I thought it was only going to be 1 cour for sure but after that I don't know if they intend to drag this out since the novel total is around 1000+ pages.

from all the previews i get this feel this is a really dark story, and thats great for me, but the manga images i've seen point me to the other way, touhg kunagisa poast say it has some maturity but not really the kind i dig.

Oh count me in as one who is really looking forward to this,I figure that there's not much hype on this forum because not many are familiar with the source material (really,that's where hype comes from) but I hope once it starts airing more people will catch on!

We have a national GE labeling bill!
Last week, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) introduced a national bill to label genetically engineered food.
If passed, the "Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act" making its way through both the House and Senate would ensure GE food is labeled in all 50 states. The national bill reflects the momentum that's been building for GE labeling initiatives in states across the country.

It wouldn't be the holiday season in Evergreen without enjoying an evening or two with friends and family at Center/Stage. Our hometown performing arts center is alive with holiday shows for all three weekends prior to Christmas, and there's something for everyone.
As the holiday season quickly approaches, mothers across the land spout the adage, "Good things come in small packages." Nothing could be more true when it comes to "Miniature Masterpieces," the upcoming show at Evergreen Fine Art Gallery. The exhibit opens Friday, Nov. 22, and features a gallery filled with artwork under 120 square inches.
Once the calendar flips to November, thoughts turn to quality time with family and the holidays. We decorate our homes with candles and twinkling lights, and gather 'round the fireplace to chase the chill. The world is transformed into a bright and beautiful wonderland. The Prelude to the Evergreen Children's Chorale presents a fall concert that captures this spirit of family and fun called "All Things Bright and Beautiful."
The world of visual and performing arts is constantly changing. Artists explore new techniques, different media, or the conceptualization of life's poignant themes in new ways. Just as the artists themselves are evolving, so are the people behind the scenes who are forced to track the changes and even evoke some of their own, to keep our local art scene vibrant.
Colorado's name means "colored red" and is linked to the Colorado River. The river was dubbed "Rio Colorado" by early Spanish explorers because of the red color silt it carries from the mountains. When the area became an official territory in 1861, officials believed the term would be an apt moniker for our colorful lands.
Did you ever wish there was a book that could tell you everything you need to know to be successful in life? In the case of StageDoor Theatre's upcoming production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," the talented high school players don't need a book to succeed. This silly and satirical production pokes fun at corporate culture and effortlessly transports the audience straight back to the skinny ties and A-line dresses of the "Mad Men" era.
The floodwaters in Evergreen have receded, and community members are pulling together to support one another. Janice Sugg, the featured artist at Evergreen Fine Art, and gallery owner Barb Hadley had no way of knowing that the title of Sugg's show would be so prophetic.
Each year, the American Art Awards select 25 galleries with different strengths. In March 2013, Mirada Fine Art was named the AAA's Best in Choice in Colorado and one the top 25 galleries in the nation.
"Mirada Fine Art has impressed us with their history, drive and unique trajectory," says Thom Bierdz, president of the American Art Awards.
Many artists, photographers in particular, suffer from wanderlust. They can be seen perching with their tripods on the stone walls of Santorini or lugging their camera equipment through the rivers of Katmai, Alaska.

Dryer Vent Fires | crusader tumble dryer recall
Some dryers have indicators designed to alert you when lint has built up and blocked the vent. Our clothes dryer tests have found that LG's FlowSense and Samsung's Vent Sensor detect completely blocked vents, but aren't as good as detecting partially blocked vents. The same is true for the check-vent feature on Whirlpool and Maytag dryers.
A section of flexible metal transition duct is acceptable between the dryer elbow and the rigid duct in the wall, provided the transition duct is UL-listed for this use and is permitted under the…MORE local building code. Do not use unlisted metal transition duct or any foil or vinyl flexible duct.
A clothes dryer that is not working correctly increases the risk of fire. Look for signs that your clothes dryer is not working correctly and any potential increases in the risk of fire. Indicators to keep an eye out for are things like a lack of visible lint on the lint trap, the top of the dryer being hot to the touch while running and clothes take longer than one cycle to dry. Other indications of potential trouble are clothes that come out hotter than usual and the dryer stopping repeatedly during a cycle.
The US CPSC reported in 2000 that the lint trap was the second most common source of clothes dryer fires, and that fires in the lint trap, ducts, and dryer vents were responsible for 1/3 of all 79 dryer fires that the study investigated. Interestingly, fires at other locations such as electric motors, thermostats, and wiring may have also been related to clogged ducts and lint traps that led to overheating of those components as well. [3]
It doesn't really matter, in most cases it should be very minimal and take a long time to ever present any problem. If it's thick and accumulating, then you need to permanently repair the loose connection. Otherwise, just the vent tubes need to be kept clear so the heat can get out and not build to any kind of level that could be a fire risk.
You'll find a myriad of how-to online videos, such as this one at YouTube that shows the process with a brush system. Some of the DIY cleaning kits do not always properly clean the vent duct. One advantage to hiring an experienced professional is he or she has likely seen just about every make and model of dryer and has the appropriate brush and equipment to effectively do the job.
Rigid seamed exhaust duct ideally should be installed with the seams up to prevent any accumulation of condensation from seeping out. When possible, horizontal runs of dryer ducts should slope slightly downward (1/4 inch per foot) toward the exterior termination to reduce the possibility of condensation accumulating and collecting lint.
If you've tried cleaning your vent system and still have the above issues, then it could mean you need to have your vent rebuilt or repaired. Lint should not build up in your dryer if your duct system is properly designed and installed. If you haven't had your system inspected and cleaned for several years, be proactive and get it done today! Did we miss any other signs that it's time to clean your dryer vent? Or have you experienced any of the issues described above? Let us know below in the comments!
Unplug the dryer and turn off the gas valve at the dryer (for gas dryers). Disconnect the duct joint closest to the dryer, then gently pull the dryer away from the wall. Disconnect the remaining exposed sections of dryer duct. If the sections are taped, remove and discard the tape.
Another visual red flag that you're due for a cleaning: You can see lint or debris around the dryer hose or outside vent opening: or the duct hood flap does not open as it is designed to do. An outside vent that doesn't open when the dryer is running means air flow has been restricted due to lint buildup.
Your own clothes dryer installation has the significant advantage of a very short run from the dryer to the outside of your home. If you select an outside dryer termination and animal/insect screen that does not trap lint (does not include a lint filter screen) and that opens and closes reliably operated by the dryer vent airflow, that device should be not only in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations (as it does not include a lint trap screen), it is also (in our OPINION) safer than a vent termination insect or animal screen that becomes clogged with lint.
Experts suggest that the primary cause of clothes dryer fires is failure to clean and maintain them. Check behind the dryer where lint has a tendency to build up. You should clean your dryer annually and perform inspections of the hose and vent for any blockages twice a year.
It is a good idea to consider scheduling a qualified service person to clean the interior of the dryer chassis annually. This will minimize the amount of lint that accumulates as well as give you a professional opinion of the safety status of your unit. A professional can also inspect the venting and exhaust system. To ensure that that this procedure is done correctly, employ only certified dryer exhaust technicians.
Although dryer manufacturers typically recommend the use of rigid aluminum duct venting systems with a minimum of direction changes and not longer than 15′ to the outside, many people have dryer ventilation systems, which utilize flexible vent tubes. This is another area where lint collects. All these areas need to be cleaned on an annual basis.
The opinions and experiences expressed here are those of Kris Fannin unless otherwise noted. This site is not affiliated in any way with Lennar Homes, Lennar Corporation subsidiaries, or any business partner of Lennar. WCI Communities and Lennar Homes (and all variants of those names) are often used interchangeably throughout this website. Lennar finalized the buyout of WCI Communities in February 2017. WCI Communities remains the 'luxury brand' subsidiary of Lennar Corporation.
We purchased a dryer vent termination product similar to the ones you describe and examined it carefully as we plan to install it on a Minnesota home where frequent checking of the dryer vent termination outside is inconvenient. The model we examined (not one of those you list) does not call itself a lint trap and it does not appear to trap any lint whatsoever. It's chief advantage is that it blows all dryer exhaust, including lint, into the outdoor air.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2010 an estimated 16,800 fires that involved clothes dryers or washing machines. Clothes dryers accounted for 92% of the fires with the leading cause of dryer fires being a dirty dryer.
Once the ductwork is in good shape, turn on gas valve (for gas dryers) and plug in the dryer. Push the dryer back into its normal position, making sure it's not kinking or deforming any of the ductwork. Make sure lint screen is in place. Run the dryer and confirm that it is venting completely.
The gas dryer has blown out three times within one year due to the poorly routed dryer vent and possibly electrical issues. As you might recall, there are issues with not only the distance of the gas dryer vent from the exhaust but also the several sharp angles in the dryer exhaust pipes. Although Lennar acknowledges the issue, they would rather keep the fire hazard than cause a potential leak with a roof penetration.
Lint accumulation and reduced airflow feed on each other to provide conditions ripe for a fire. Lint is a highly combustible material, which, interestingly enough, is one of the ingredients in a recipe for home-made fire starters. A number of dryer vent problems contribute to this.
In between professional inspections, clean the outside exhaust vent regularly. It is best to check this when your dryer is running by making sure that the exhaust air is escaping properly. If you cannot feel any air, it is likely that there is a lint accumulation clogging the vent outlet. This might require you to disconnect the exhaust vent from the dryer to remove the clog. Remember to reconnect the ducting to the outside vent and dryer before you use the dryer again. If you are unsure of how to do this, it is always recommended that you contact the manufacturer for help or hire a professional.
TAMPA – According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 15,000 fires are sparked every year by clothes dryers. Lint and other debris can build up in your dryer vent, reducing air flow to the dryer, backing up dryer exhaust gases, creating a fire hazard.
"The most common mistake people make is that they don't clean them," Lorraine Carli of the National Fire Protection Association told Patch. "The majority of fires happen from buildup of lint. The easiest way to avoid it is to keep your lint filter and dryer exhaust vents clean on a regular basis."
If you notice that your dryer takes longer to dry laundry than it used to, it's a clue that there may be a blockage. Another clue: When you're drying a load, head outside, and take a look at the dryer vent, if you have access to it. Do you see or feel exhaust air? If not, the vent or exhaust duct may be blocked with lint.

This article series describes good practices for clothes dryer vent installation, lint traps, wall vents, filters, and screens. We include a list of clothes dryer fire safety hazards and other clothes dryer installation or maintenance mistakes that are either unsafe or that interfere with effective, economical dryer operation. We discuss types of dryer vent ducting and dryer vent doors or opening protection devices.
It's best to use an adjustable, rigid, 90-degree elbow at the exhaust end of the dryer. Semi-rigid flexible duct can kink when the dryer is pushed back into place, causing a major obstruction to exhaust flow.
To check your dryer's vent – when unit is in use during cold weather: Warm / hot exhaust should result in visible water vapor – localized fog. After starting dryer with wet laundry, wait about five minutes for it to warm, then go out and look for vapor near the vent. This is similar to the vapor emitted from the tailpipes on motor vehicles after the engine is started on a cold day. An absence of vapor may indicate a clogged duct.
I'm also interested in putting in a secondary lint trap, secondary to the one built into the dryer, inside where I can easily open it and clean it out between loads. Several sites say never put a secondary lint trap on a gas clothes dryer because of the danger of combustion fumes escaping inside. Below is a model I found, and when I emailed them they responded that it would be safe.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that in 1998, clothes dryers were associated with 15,600 fires, which resulted in 20 deaths and 370 injuries. Fires can occur when lint builds up in the dryer or in the exhaust duct. Lint can block the flow of air, cause excessive heat build-up, and result in a fire in some dryers. [2]
All too often, dryer exhausts ducts are not given due respect. They receive little to no consideration in the design stage, are often installed haphazardly, and are seldom maintained. Once installed, the ducts are rarely given another thought. Current lax attitudes about dryer exhaust ducts need to change! Home inspectors can help by familiarizing themselves with the current standards and the related issues, by learning to recognize symptoms of potential hazards and, most importantly, by educating others.

The Tigers are hoping Germone Hopper can take advantage of increased playing time when they face Wake Forest on Saturday.
Another Clemson game brings forth another crucial audition for the team's receivers as the Tigers continue to seek a consistent complement for star Sammy Watkins.
Dorman product Charone Peake had shown early signs that he was that guy until suffering a season-ending torn ACL prior to the N.C. State victory. Junior Martavis Bryant has been heavily scrutinized as underperforming until playing solidly his last two outings, including a two-touchdown effort last week at the Wolfpack.
But Bryant's performance included a throat slashing gesture after one of the scores, prompting coach Dabo Swinney to limit his participation today against Wake Forest. It's not clear just how many snaps Bryant will lose.
That again opens the door for redshirt freshman Germone Hopper. Dorman's Adam Humphries received high praise from Swinney in stepping into Peake's starting slot last week, but didn't record a catch. Hopper also is battling blue-chip first-year freshmen Mike Williams and T.J. Green, both expected to become elite.
Hooper explained that he can't apply any added pressure to himself just because there is a grand opportunity for him.
"Coach (Chad) Morris tells us all the time to just be ourselves," Hopper said. "You can't be more than what they ask you to be. Just try and help the team as much as possible. With Charone being out I know this is the perfect opportunity for me to step up."
Hopper flashed his potential during his first significant playing time with six catches for 66 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win over South Carolina State. He followed that with four for 25 last week and says he feels like he is on the verge of a breakout performance against an ACC foe.
"I've been thinking like that a lot lately," Hopper said. "It's a one-game season each time out and I'm just trying to go out and contribute as much as I can. When my number is called I have to execute."
Clemson's staff has shown increased confidence in Hopper by having him return kickoffs the past two games, and he's listed with Roderick McDowell in that role again for today.
Swinney recently recalled that Hopper is the second-coming of a player he coached while an assistant at Alabama over a decade ago — receiver Freddie Milons — who was an NFL fifth-round draft choice after departing college as the school's career receptions leader.
"I don't like comparing players to others, but it's like I'm reliving Freddie Milons," Swinney said. "It's like I'm living that all over again with Hopper. They are so similar it's scary to me. Body-type, temperament, the way he runs, the whole deal. I think he's got a chance to be a really good player for us. I love his toughness and he's not a huge guy, but he plays big and with a physical edge to him that I really like in a wide-out."
Hopper laughed when saying he wasn't familiar with Milons, but "I tried to look him up one day. (Swinney) always tells me that. I kind of watch Michael Crabtree and Steve Smith, those are my favorites."
Hopper also keeps a close eye on Watkins, soaking in everything his teammate does at practice while trying to emulate his moves and dedication.
"I back up Sammy a lot and try to watch him, he's one of the top wide receivers in the country and I try to do everything like him. It's his work ethic. He works hard in practice and keeps encouraging me in practice every day. Keep my feet working until the whistle blows."
Hopper also is forming a tighter bond with quarterback Tajh Boyd and understands that chemistry and trust between quarterback and receiver is among the most important aspects of his position — especially in a rapid scheme like the Tigers' and with a full-time running mate for Watkins not yet truly established.
"I feel very comfortable with Tajh and I feel like we'll have even more chemistry the more I can get in the games," Hopper said. "Every time I just try to do my role, do my job, and have a connection with Tajh as much as possible. I know it can get hectic for him back there looking for someone to get open and I just do my best."

Sophie Bridge is an investment banker who, by occupation at least, should have voted for the Conservatives in Britain. She didn't. The self-
described "hard-line Labourite" grew up in a family with distinct left-of-center leanings.
Yet last week she wasn't casting her ballot for the Labour Party either. Instead, Ms. Bridge was committed to a third party alternative, the Liberal Democrats.
David White, a fruit-and-vegetable vendor in a working-class neighborhood, would seem to be a natural supporter of the Labour Party. He wasn't.
He went for the Conservatives, pining for the tough-love days of Margaret Thatcher's austerity policies.
The two voters symbolize how unsettled British politics is these days – and why the nation whose empire once bestrode the globe is now facing one of its gravest challenges since World War II. Like other parts of Europe, Britain is struggling to navigate the worst economic crisis since the 1970s, epitomized by the debt problem now ricocheting around the Continent.
Yet it will have to do so with a potentially fragile government, the result of a chaotic general election in which no party emerged in overall control of Parliament for the first time in 36 years. The May 6 vote – a hinge moment in which the ruling Labour Party suffered one of its worst results in decades but in which their resurgent Conservative opponents still fell short of winning an absolute majority – reflects a shifting political landscape that will hold consequences beyond the immediate formation of a coalition government.
It may lead to fundamental political reform, complicate the nation's ability to surmount a budget deficit that is set to eclipse even Greece's next year, and could affect how aggressive a role Britain plays on the world stage.
In one way, the election result marked a further fragmentation of the electorate similar to what has been sweeping across Europe. Many voters continue to opt for myriad parties from the far left to the far right, along with Greens as well as Scottish and Welsh nationalists.
In another sense, it was the most Americanized election in British history. A presidential-style campaign focused on party leaders and their personalities, with key roles for their spouses as well as strategists from Barack Obama's White House run aiding opposing sides.
The main message from the election, however, seems to be the public's rejection of any one political vision for the future. The two major parties that have ruled British politics for nearly a century failed to achieve a clear mandate for the nation's direction.
Yet neither did the upstart Liberal Democrats, the third party led by the telegenic Nick Clegg, break the duopoly on power and achieve the dramatic breakthrough everyone thought it would. While the percentage of support for the Liberal Democrats rose slightly, the party actually dropped seats. Still, it finds itself in the enviable and ironic position of potentially being kingmaker as the country tries to cobble together a new government.
Theories abound about why the "Lib Dems" didn't do better. Some posit that Britain's powerful right-wing press scared many voters away from the party – and toward the Conservatives – by trumpeting Mr. Clegg's policies and past pronouncements on issues such as adopting Europe's troubled common currency, the euro. Some liberals, who might have been tempted to vote for the centrist Lib Dems, clearly stuck with Labour, nervous about what a Conservative government would mean for the economy.
Still, many voters did opt for alternatives, even in a system that makes it tough for small parties to thrive. In the southern coastal city of Brighton, the Green Party won its first member of Parliament.
More important, Labour has undergone a last-minute conversion to favor the type of reforms that could unlock the two-party system. Britain operates under a simple "winner take all" system, in which the candidate with the most votes in any district wins. Elsewhere in Europe, political systems tend to award parliamentary seats in proportion to the percentage of the vote.
"We have had unfair elections since the 18th century," says Steven Fielding, director of the Centre for British Politics at the University of Nottingham. "But this may be the moment when people realize the system has to be reformed."
In the end, what does the election say about Britain's sense of itself, and are there lessons for the US?
* * *
The Parliamentary district of Islington South and Finsbury in north central London represents, in many ways, a microcosm of Britain today. Urban, densely populated, and multicultural, it is polarized economically. Part of the district is the stereotypical home of the so-called chattering classes, whose families live in opulent Georgian townhouses along leafy streets. But it is also the location of some of the most deprived areas in the United Kingdom.
The district has long been a Labour stronghold. Tony Blair used to live here, before becoming leader of the Labour Party. In a now famous and prophetic dinner at a local restaurant in 1994, Mr. Blair and Gordon Brown hatched a pact to share power in the years ahead. Blair's ascension to prime minister in 1997 inspired many locals to believe a new political day had dawned, feelings that Mr. Brown, fulfilling his dinner-table role as his successor, only intensified.
Yet something happened on the way to Camelot. In recent years, the gap between the rich and poor across Britain in general and the Islington-Finsbury district in particular has widened – inequality has reached the highest levels since record keeping began in the early 1960s. Many people believe this was one of the biggest failures of the Labour government under Brown.
"These days property is out of ordinary people's price range," says Mr. White, the fruit stand vendor. "My daughter can't afford anything."
Even worse, Britain will likely face years of austerity as it tries to dig out from its yawning budget deficit. All three parties made clear during the campaign that severe cuts in public spending will be needed to tackle the country's rising debt. The only difference was when, and where, the ax might fall.
The European Commission forecast on the eve of the election that the UK deficit for this calendar year would be 12 percent of gross domestic product, the highest of all of the 27 European Union nations.
"The country is in a mess and there is a big sense of crisis, particularly among the governing classes, whereas it has not quite registered yet with the general public," says Professor Richard Vinen, a historian at King's College London.
More than just economics, though, has driven the restiveness of the British public. To a certain extent, the election results were the culmination of a wave of public anger and distrust within Britain's political classes in the wake of last year's scandal over the misuse of taxpayer-funded allowances by parliamentarians.
Many MPs announced months ago that they would not be running again. More than 150 MPs retired in all, resulting in the largest number of new members on the stump since World War II. Some experts also trace a distrust of the Westminster elite to the way Britons felt misled over their country's involvement in the Iraq war.
"Iraq was my biggest problem," says Bridge, faulting Blair for sending troops. "He knew that a lot of the party's most loyal supporters would have voted against. We marched against it."
Yet along with the general disaffection, many Britons have clearly grown weary of the two-party system. "British society today is so much more schizophrenic than in 1979 [the year Thatcher was elected prime minister]," says Mark Garnett, an expert on political culture at the University of Lancaster.
"The whole point is that class borders are much more fluid and difficult to identify. Often it's people who have risen successfully from working-class roots, but still want to refer to their working-class credentials as a badge of honor."
Britain's changing ethnic mix has contributed to the unpredictability. At his restaurant in the Islington-Finsbury district, Mohammed Nurus Safa notes that while he has voted for the Conservatives in the past, he wanted to reward Brown this time for saving Britain's banking system from collapse following the 2008 financial crisis.
An accountant who came to the UK 40 years ago from Bangladesh, Mr. Safa remembers the 1970s differently from the way many others do, who regard it as a period of decline. "I think we need to go back there; it was a time when the government was more caring for the people, when the National Health Service was No. 1," says Safa, whose three daughters work as doctors.
Safa typifies a generation of older immigrants whose families continue to add new dimensions to British society. For one thing, voter turnout among many ethnic minorities is unusually high. In the 2005 general election, for instance, the national average turnout was 61.4 percent, while for Bangladeshi voters alone it was 76 percent.
Despite the rise of ethnic minorities, experts fault the two mainstream parties for not heeding their interests enough, adding to the veneer of volatility in the land. Confronted with a complicated and "footloose electorate," says Dr. Garnett, every major political party has tailored its message to an imagined caricature of Britain, centered around a vision of middle-class voters receptive to the language of the "Westminster bubble."
The result: Large swaths of the public feel alienated – particularly the white working classes.
This was epitomized most visibly by Brown's "bigoted woman" incident late in the campaign. The prime minister, stumping in the northern English town of Rochdale, listened to a woman – a lifelong Labourite, it turned out – complain about the number of Eastern European immigrants. Unaware that a microphone was still attached to his lapel, Brown described her as bigoted.
For many, the remark summed up the detachment of mainstream politicians, and particularly the ruling party, from the concerns of ordinary voters.
Immigration, already a big issue, exploded as a hot-button concern. It generated some of the liveliest exchanges in the final televised debate.
* * *
From here, Britain could be heading into a prolonged period of political fragility. Even if a coalition government is formed quickly, there is nothing to guarantee that it might not fall in the months or immediate years ahead, given the divisions in Parliament and among the electorate.
Mindful of this – and the challenges ahead – Conservative Party leader David Cameron was reaching out quickly to the Liberal Democrats and other factions to try to head that off.
"The new government will face the worst inheritance of any incoming government for at least 60 years," he said the day after the election. "That is exactly why it is so important that we have strong stable government that lasts."
No matter what the precise makeup of the government, it probably won't change transatlantic ties in any meaningful way. During the campaign, all three parties supported the UK's involvement in Afghanistan, even though it is highly unpopular with the British public.
The country's ties with Europe may be less definitive. Britain has always harbored conflicted feelings about the European Union. As recently as 2008, a Pew Global Attitudes poll found that more Canadians (71 percent) and Americans (56 percent) expressed favorable opinions of the EU than Britons (50 percent).
These crosscurrents surfaced during the campaign. At one point, Mr. Cameron faced accusations that his party's alliance with hard-line nationalist and allegedly anti-Semitic fringe elements in the European Parliament would marginalize Britain in the EU.
The election may hold a few lessons for the United States. One is the enduring difficulty of a third party to break through in many democracies. While in this case that was due in part to the winner-take-all nature of the British political system, the Liberal Democrats couldn't make major inroads on Conservatives and Labour even with a leader who drew comparisons during the campaign to Churchill.
There were signs all along, to be sure, that the Liberal Democrats' appeal might be transitory. Polls showed that as many as a quarter of the Lib Dems' potential supporters knew little or nothing about the party's plans. That suggested "Cleggmania" did, in fact, stem from one man's charisma more than any ideology or defined set of values.
Yet the support the Lib Dems did garner, along with that of many other alternative candidates, suggests that major parties shouldn't take the electorate for granted. The message for mainstream parties may be this: Don't become too narrow.
Cameron was able to rejuvenate the demoralized Conservative Party in part by moving it away from the hard right. After taking over a bitterly divided party in 2005, he forced it to end an obsession with immigration and anti-European rhetoric. Concepts such as climate change and gay rights were embraced in a bid to broaden the appeal of the Conservative brand.
"The Conservative Party's strong showing – their biggest swing against the Labour Party since the 1930s – may have a lot to offer for those looking towards conservative renewal in the US," says Stefan Andreasson, a political expert at Queen's University, Belfast. "What Cameron has done is move very much towards the center, attracting a greater diversity of voters including those from ethnic minorities. It's very different from the US where the Republican Party has been taking account of an increasingly vociferous 'tea party' fringe."
Is anyone in America listening?

The SNS can be fiddly to position. I found it very helpful to tape the tube down somewhere in the vicinity of the nipple before attempting to latch baby on.
The SNS can be fiddly to position. I found it very helpful to tape the tube down somewhere in the vicinity of the nipple before attempting to latch baby on.
Well well, the SNS is messy but it works. Now my baby is gaining weight, the volume of supplement is decreasing daily as my milk supply is increasing, and the girl wants my breast... but only if that thingy is there! :-( During the night I can breastfeed her normally after a bit if struggle, but during the day she usually gets very fussy unless the SNS is connected. Will I ever be able to get rid of it?
I'm kind of discouraged again... My baby is almost 9 weeks now, BFing has been a hassle almost from day one. The natural, intimate experience I was looking forward to was first painful, then frustrating, and now it has become almost a technological display, with all this pumping, SNSing etc. All in all in I'm tired and sad.
Of course, everybody around me has an opinion, and they tend to be anti-BFing. Now also my mother, who has come to visit and "give me a hand", has joined in. And this is just too much. Am I doing it all wrong? Why do I feel so bad?
Mama, it is very, very hard when your dream of the perfect breastfeeding relationship turns into an epic struggle with pumps and shields and SNS tubes and weight gain worries. It wasn't until after I had a very hard time nursing my first kid that I realized that breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Sometimes it takes real time and effort for breastfeeding to become easy, pleasant, and "natural".
Often the people around you see you struggling and they want to "fix" the problem for you. So they suggest formula and tell you that your struggles mean that you must be doing something wrong, and therefore you should just give up. But usually a struggling mom doesn't need someone to "fix" her problem. She needs to be told that she is doing an amazing job, and that her hard work is worthwhile. And you are doing an amazing job, and your effort is worthwhile!!!
Just keep on going, and be straight with people. Let them know that right now you need their support and their love, and if they have anything critical to say, they should keep it to themselves.
I am so sorry you are feeling this way, cause I know exactly how you feel! My DS is 4 weeks old today, and Im still struggling with BF'ing. Like you, I also have no support from people around me! I actually told my mother that I was feeling that she wasn't very supportive and she told me that maybe I was feeling like she wasnt because I was being negative about it. The only thing is, she wasn't saying it in a sincere way, she was being snotty!!!!! Hoping you and I and our babies "get it" soon!!!!
I'm sorry that you have no real life support. That's so hard. But we are here for you and have been through it. But everything you are doing sounds right. Once weight gain is truly established you should be able to go full force with nursing. Pick a day, deal with the tears (from both of you) and get the baby to the breast.
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. - Katharine Hepburn
Start pinching off the SNS some, so baby has it there, but not getting milk from it.
I know how you feel I tried so, so hard to nurse my cleft baby, and it just didn't happen like I wanted it to. But there are moms who persevered with less than ideal starts, and they go on to nurse for months and years.
Mama to my all-natural boys: Ian, 9-4-04, 11.5 lbs; Colton, 11-7-06, 9 lbs, in the water; Logan, 12-8-08, 9 lbs; Gavin, 1-18-11, 9 lbs; and an angel 1-15-06

Hello girls,
I've been out on a holiday with my little family for some weeks, it has been great. During this time we've had the opportunity to find our way of being parents, to establish our own baby-rutine. And I've been thinking that at my return I should write to you all just to say thanks once again. So here I am!
My baby will be 3 months tomorrow, and we will be officially out of this forum for newborns ;-) Good timing, as our problems seem to be dissolving.
I am still BFing my daughter, and I'm so proud of us both for that! Although I need to give her a supplement every day, not really because I don't have the milk but because it seems to be more difficult to get at the end of the day, and she gets desperate and starts to pull my breasts. So I connect the SNS with some 100 ml of formula, she takes maybe half of it, calms down and falls asleep, then later on when she wakes up she goes on nursing normally, without the SNS. It is not ideal but it works: she is gaining weight, pooping more frequently, and she seems very happy in general.
I don't know if we will be able to wean her from the SNS, but I don't care anymore. Considering where we were some weeks ago, just the fact that I'm able to BF her when she's already 3 months makes me very happy.
Without your help and support we couldn't had made it. Thank you very much for it. I've learnt a lot with you. I owe you so much!
Muchas gracias a todas! Hasta la próxima! :-)
I am so happy things are going well! You may be able to wean her off that last SNS feed eventually if you slowly taper it as your milk production ups but yes that is so wonderful and I am soooooo glad you stuck it out and are doing so well! Great great job!!!
