I know this probably could have gone under breastfeeding, but since it's the opposite of breast feeding, I thought it deserved its own thread. :P
Lyle is just now 2 and I don't see an end in sight, although I'd like to get there soon. He seems to be becoming MORE interested in nursing at times now, and I sort of feel like I should have done it a few months back. He wants to nurse a lot, and often won't give up asking until I give in (he does this with a lot of things). ::)
He sometimes talks about it all day.....the first words out of his mouth are sometimes, "have some mommy milk later before bed"....because this is what I tell him when he asks!
we are down to about 2 feedings a day, definitely before bedtime, and sometimes in the morning or afternoon. He is always saying "I want some mommy milk". He is pretty tiny, (20 lbs) and a HORRIBLE eater, so I feel good giving it to him and love the closeness, but I also feel if I don't do it this summer (when dad is home from work) it might be impossible later!
He does like non-dairy milks, but he likes the mommy milk better... and sometimes asks for chocolate mommy milk . ;D When I tell him it's chocolate, he is satisfied and believes it! lol!
any tips or advice on getting the babes to give up the boob? I just don't see how we are going to do it!
No advice, just sympathy.
Mine is just 14 months, so I don't want to wean her yet. BUT she still asks to nurse every 2-3 hours around the clock, sometimes even more frequently! To my dismay, I think she is going to be a picky eater. She sticks out her tongue to taste all kinds of things and then is tight-lipped and shakes her head vigorously "no!" to almost everything. Even the things she does seem to like she eats in minute quantities only (as a side note, we went to a party Saturday night, and I couldn't keep her away from the potato chips ::sigh:: That was the first time she's ever had them - we don't have that kind of thing at home). If I were to cut back on the nursing at all, she wouldn't be getting enough to eat! She is 19 pounds.
I've always expected by the time she was 1.5 years or so she'd only be nursing 3 or 4 times a day - but I just don't see that happening. How old was Lyle when he started nursing less frequently? I also always wanted to take a child-led approach to weaning, but I fear with this kid doing that would mean I'll be nursing an 8 year old (I know some people do, but it's not for me)!
My battle plan (when I get the courage) is to cut out an afternoon feeding by telling her no and offering her something she will eat a little of (unsweetened soy yogurt, sweet potatoes, blueberries) instead. Then doing some super fun activity to keep her mind off nursing. If she keeps asking, I'll keep offering her the solid foods. Maybe a little hunger will be ok for her at this point to get the message across that foods other than breastmilk can satiate you! One feeding a day, that's all I ask!
Well, I felt a bit inspired after posting this morning. I know some (most) kids just naturally and slowly cut down on their breastmilk intake while increasing solid foods. That is what I had always anticipated happening. But now I think there are a few kids who just need a nudge. So anyway, I decided no breastmilk between 1pm and 5pm from now on.
It went well! I nursed her at 1 pm exactly. She asked to nurse at 2:30 and 3:30, and I just basically ignored her and did some really fun things with her (tearing paper, scribbling, playing with paint in the bathtub, turning on the hose in the backyard). There was no crying or anything. Then at 4:30 she was pretty insistent, so I said "oh, you are hungry? Let's eat some food!" I sat her in her high chair and mixed one of my "green cubes" (greens purred with a bit of water in the Vitamix and then frozen in an ice cube tray) into her unsweetened soy yogurt (this is about the only thing she eats more than a few bites of) and put about 1/4 c of wild blueberries on her tray. She actually ate most of the blueberries and a good amount of the yogurt/kale mixture.
5:00pm passed and she didn't ask to nurse. But I nursed her at 5:20pm because I had to go pick up my husband from work and there wouldn't be a good opportunity to feed her again until around 6:30. I didn't want a screaming toddler on my hands during that time.
Anyway, I'm encouraged. We'll see how tomorrow goes!
Kea used to be OBSESSED with nursing, ever since she was little. Probably because I was paranoid about feeding on demand, and my milk supply decreasing since she had so many allergies. If I was home, or we were out and about she would ask to nurse all the time. She would also have her little suffed animals "nurse" from each other during pretend play. Oh and all the dinos and trains.....I was getting worried she had a complex....(j/k)...anyways I started only nursing at home, then only nursing in a certain spot on the couch and scheduling it a little further and further apart while distracting her when she would start to ask. She fussed a little about it, but I woudl always offer her a sippy cup with ice water or rice milk while she waited to got nurse on the couch. Then the last few months, (she weaned around 27? months or so,) i would only nurse her 1 time during the day and once before bed. The last few weeks she would go a day or so without asking, (and when she did nurse I highly doubt she was getting much,) until she kinda forgot about it. It was much less of a big deal than when i weaned her from night nursing...OMG that was a nightmare! After I did wean her she would occasionally ask sometimes, (she still does every so often,) but I would just try to redirect her and give her lots of snuggles. She really likes being chased while I crawl and pretend to be a dino, so I would usually do that.
SO this is weird. Sometimes I just need to put it out there to the universe, or to vegweb, as the case may be ::), and things happen. For the last 3 days, Lyle has not nursed ONCE during the day! He has only asked maybe 2 times to do so. We are down to just nursing before bed, which is the hardest to give up, but hey, it's progress! I don't think it will be long. He is not even nursing that long and just stops and says he's ready for me to put him in bed. And he stays in bed (big boy bed now!) until morning! woot!!!
oh and yay for the big boy in his bed all night!
My little one just turned 2 - and we have been weaning fairly successfully, so I'll post what seems to be working for us (in no particular order).
1. Lots of snuggles & Mommy time.
2. Pep talks about the big girls we know and admire who no longer nurse. Something like: "Susie is a big girl, she doesn't nurse any more. Nursing is for little babies, not for big girls like Susie. You'll be a big girl very soon, and then you won't nurse either." She loves to talk about all sorts of friends who don't nurse any more. Even grown ups! ;D
3. Alternating between eliminating feedings and shortening feeding times. She would be satisfied to nurse even a couple of minutes (since that reduces milk production, it becomes less and less rewarding/attractive). So, we cut out one feeding at a time, and then shorten the duration of the remaining feedings, then cut out the next feeding.
4. Trying to postpone bedtime until she's very tired. Since she has always nursed to sleep, and it is difficult for her to learn to sleep without it, I try to make the going to sleep process as easy as possible.
5. Since we are religious, we include it as a topic at prayer time sometimes, and ask for God's help.
6. Brag on her progress to Daddy, Grandma, etc in front of her, so she gets encouragement & social approval.
Right now, she hasn't nursed at all in almost 72 hours, and we've had remarkably little fussing or complaining about the absence : )
My son kind of weaned himself at 13 months old, more then a year ago. When he started daycare full time, that was when he started formula, two bottles a day. At that point he was only nursing twice a day, and he just started to loose interest. So two months after I started working full time he stopped weaning. I regret it and really wish I had kept it going longer, put more effort into it. I tried to pump at work, but I bought a lousy pump that din't work well, BIG mistake. Now today, he is a good eater and I barely remember the last time I nursed him. I think it was in the middle of the night, he woke up crying so I nursed him to comfort him. I remember trying to get him to nurse after that, but he always turned his head away and refused. I was so sad. Now I am all dried up and miss those days. I know I will never have another child, and so will never again nurse. Good luck to all you who weaned, you will miss it later.
I thought I'd pop in here.... I guess maybe looking for some support. Gavin is almost 7 months now and we made it all the way to 6 months with him being exclusively breast fed. :)
I've got several week and a half long trips starting in January and I just cannot stomach the thought of pumping for the long while underway on a boat. Gavin seems to prefer the bottle (with breast milk) anyway since he's such a busy-body and can look around. I've gradually been cutting down on nursing sessions. So, the 2 times a day (wake up & bedtime) that I've been nursing him, he isn't all that into it. I was planning on weaning him off the boob by the end of December, but that plan has been cut short because I had to go back on a medication that isn't safe while breast feeding. Overall, I am having very mixed emotions about it. I feel bad for stopping. I feel good for making it to 7 months. And at least there is enough breast milk in my freezer to do half that and half formula until he's a year old..... *sigh*
You should feel proud that you managed to overcome the problems you've had and breastfeed him for that long! Not everyone is able (or willing) to breastfeed for 2 years...or one year...or even 6 months. You have perfectly valid reasons for weaning now. And he's likely to get even less interested in milk/formula as he gets more interested in actual food. Just make sure he's getting plenty of cuddles to make up for the lack of boob time. :)
Has he tried formula yet? Are you planning on mixing the formula and breastmilk together or alternating bottles of formula and breastmilk?
He's had formula for the first time a couple of days ago. And he had no problems with it whatsoever. Which is great considering the weaning. But I also feel kind of insulted. He gets 4 bottles a day; 2 breast milk and 2 formula. Right at 6 months he got super interested in food. :) Now, we're just trying to get him interested in the sippy cup. And I reinventoried.... We should be able to make it to month 10 with half breast milk.
Thanks for your really kind words. It makes me feel better. Damn that Mom guilt.
::EDIT:: I've worked it to where I can still feed him once a day from the boob. :)
Thanks mdv! It was difficult and an extreme amount of commitment.... Or me just being stubborn.
I was pretty much paranoid about pumping and freezing milk. I was so worried about not having enough for him while I was underway for days at a time that I pumped constantly. I'd pump every 4 hours. It was pretty ridiculous. If I was stationed on land I'm pretty sure I would have gone all the way to 1 year.
He's a happy healthy baby and that's all anyone can really ask for. :)

Record Grad School Applications Fall 2007
State University System of Florida sees record gain
in applications for admission to graduate school
TALLAHASSEE – Chancellor Mark B. Rosenberg announced today that the 11 institutions of the State University System of Florida received a record number of applications for graduate school for the fall 2007 semester.
For the fall semester, 54,065 individuals applied to graduate school, up from 47,674 in 2006, an increase of 13.4 percent. Entering students are up 7 percent.
"This is another indication that a growing number of Floridians want to extend their education beyond the baccalaureate degree," Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg noted that the fall 2007 gains are unprecedented. "This is the largest increase in graduate school applications, in both number and percentage, as far back as our records go," Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg pointed out that the increase in applications and enrollment follows an increase in the Florida unemployment rate. "Our universities are helping people in the Florida workforce prepare for career changes and new opportunities," he said. "By giving them richer knowledge and training, we are also helping our students insulate themselves against uncertainty in the job market."
The acceptance rate of graduate-school applicants was down, from 56 percent to 53 percent. "Though we admitted more students this fall, we could not accept everyone," Rosenberg said. "We don"t have the capacity."
Rosenberg said this indicates that the universities should expand graduate school offerings and capacity to meet a growing demand for post-baccalaureate education. He said the Board of Governors would take this trend into consideration as it continues its Forward by Design initiative to map the future of higher education in this state.
Rosenberg also announced that overall enrollment is up 2 percent this fall, to 299,570 students. This includes a 1-percent gain in community-college transfers.
The Board of Governors is the constitutional body created by voters in 2002 to guide the State University System of Florida.

This is a survey course in early American history from the colonial era to Reconstruction. A central assumption of this course is that the creation of the United States was an unanticipated consequence of a broader North American history shaped by European colonization, the development of colonial cultures and political institutions, the rise of African slavery, and the expansion of a global economy. Colonial society in North America was comprised of diverse regions, ethnically and racially mixed populations, and significant variations in legal and political status. The United States emerged from this colonial world but its departure was not automatic or total. Indeed much of the United States early history through the Civil War consisted of efforts to reconcile a colonial past with a new constellation of political ideals, social realities, and cultural tensions unleashed in the American Revolution.
We will attempt to understand this history by canvassing the interplay of ideas, politics, social developments, and culture from the fifteenth century through the nineteenth century. Course readings include a few books by historians and an even larger amount of primary sources texts, images, and artifacts produced in the past that historians use as evidence in their writing. This course is thus not only an introduction to main themes in American history, but also an introduction to history as an interpretive discipline.

It gives you credit towards your streak when completing part of the objective. I imagine capping a flag in domination is worth one, planting the bomb is worth one, etc.
so what are point streaks? i dont plan on getting this game since it looks like the other games and im happy with black ops, but what are point streaks?
So capping 3 flags and getting 2 kills without dying would be a 5 kill streak.

Emergency officials say a growing phenomenon of "chemical suicides" has them on alert for potentially toxic – and lethal – situations they may encounter.
Bridgewater Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Levy saw several test tubes inside the suspicious car when officials were called to check on the vehicle Monday night.
He didn't know what substances he'd encounter, so he donned his protective breathing gear as a precaution – common practice for emergency responders who are called to a scene with unknown substances. Then, officials called a hazardous materials team and the state police bomb squad.
Officials later found the toxic chemical mercury in some of the tubes. Other tubes were being tested to determine the substances, officials said. Two men, from California and Colorado, were rushed to a local hospital with unknown injuries after the incident.
"You just never know," Levy said Thursday. "You plan for the worst, you train for the worst and you hope for the best."
The Bridgewater incident is one example of the potential dangers – and increasingly dangerous chemicals – that emergency personnel can face when responding to a scene.
Now, officials say a growing phenomenon of "chemical suicides" has them on alert for potentially toxic – and lethal – situations they may encounter.
Chemical suicides occur when a person bent on harming themselves combine chemicals in a closed environment to create a lethal cloud. Fire officials have to watch for any signs of such a situation on many calls.
"Anytime we approach an incident we have to take everything into consideration, look at potential warning signs: staining on the windows, unusual odors, things like that," said East Bridgewater Fire Capt. Craig Winsor. "Also, with chemical suicide, occasionally they'll put a note up so first responders don't walk into it initially."
Emergency responders saw such a handwritten note on the bathroom door inside a Randolph apartment Thursday morning. The note read: "Do not enter. Call poison control."
And they did.
Three hazardous material unit trucks, Randolph fire trucks and a swath of media responded to the Westminster Arms apartment complex at 45 West St. in Randolph. Several men were seen wearing white jumpsuits, with oxygen tanks on their backs, walking in and out of the apartment building.
Emergency crews found a 64-year-old man dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in his bathroom with two charcoal hibachis sitting in the bathtub, authorities said. Officials evacuated the apartment building.
Emergency officials initially suspected a "chemical suicide" in the Randolph incident because of note on the bathroom door, which was consistent with instructions often left behind by people who kill themselves with chemicals, said Jennifer Mieth, spokeswoman for the state Department of Fire Services.
"Internet instructions are very easy to get and they often contain instructions to minimize the dangers to others and to warn first responders," Mieth said. "So in a chemical suicide, fortunately, we'll often see signs that warn people, warn first responders."
Chemical suicides are believed to have originated in Japan, Mieth said. They are not common in Massachusetts, but officials have been watching for chemical-related suicides after they arose in this state around 2010, Mieth said.
In Massachusetts, there have been 15 to 16 chemical suicides in the past three or four years, Mieth said.
In July 2013, a Worcester woman tried to kill herself by mixing household chemicals to create a lethal gas, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported. While the vapors killed her dog, the woman was rescued by firefighters and a hazardous materials team.
In 2012, a Boston University graduate student died of an apparent suicide after ingesting a toxic chemical in her South End apartment, forcing the evacuation of her apartment building, the Boston Globe reported.
Meanwhile, the recent death in Randolph was the latest area death related to poisonous fumes from a charcoal fire.
Last July, a Quincy woman accused of barricading her 8-year-old son in a room filled with fumes from a charcoal fire in 2011 was acquitted of his murder.
Li Rong Zhang, 42, was taken to Worcester State Hospital to be evaluated after a judge's verdict that she is not guilty by reason of insanity of the murder of her son, Brandon Yang, 8.
Prosecutors said she also intended to kill herself when, on Jan. 13, 2011, she barricaded the two of them in a bedroom in her Quincy home and lit a fire in a charcoal-fueled wok.

R&B star Rihanna is helping to keep victims of superstorm Sandy warm as the winter chill sets in by donating 1,000 sleeping bags to the ongoing relief effort in New York.
Thousands of Big Apple residents were left homeless last week (begs05Nov12) as a result of the former hurricane, which wreaked havoc along THE East Coast, and recovery efforts suffered a setback on Wednesday (07Nov12) as a snow storm hit the same region, causing more hardship for those still struggling to cope with Sandy.
Now the Umbrella hitmaker has pitched in to help displaced New Yorkers by making the generous donation to the New York Daily News' recovery campaign.
And Rihanna is calling on her fans to do their bit to help too - she's holding a special listening party for her upcoming album Unapologetic in Manhattan on Friday afternoon (09Nov12) and is asking devotees to bring items to donate in exchange for entry.
Suggested donations include clothing and hygiene basics, like coats, blankets, diapers, wet wipes, and home-cleaning supplies, which will be collected by Daily News staff and delivered to the needy on Saturday (10Nov12).
The Rihanna & Friends benefit will take place at her mentor Jay-Z's 40/40 sports club.
The singer is the latest celebrity to aid the Sandy relief effort - Lady Gaga has donated $1 million to the Red Cross, while Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Christina Aguilera, Billy Joel, and Jon Bon Jovi helped raise an estimated $23 million for the organization during a star-studded telethon last Friday (02Nov12).

If last year's Academy Awards represented a contest between competing visions of movie history in "The Artist" and "Hugo," the 2013 Oscar lineup is about actual history — the topical events of then and now. Whether that history is portrayed (or misportrayed, depending on who's talking) with epic sentiment ("Lincoln"), audience-pleasing savvy ("Argo"), or nonjudgmental cool ("Zero Dark Thirty"), it's ultimately all about the craft, and these are three expertly crafted films. And don't count out "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and especially "Amour" — two dark horses that may spoil a few races. Here are the picks of Globe movie critic Ty Burr.
Will win: "Argo"
Should win: "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
Shouldn't be here: "Les Misérables"
Was robbed: "Moonrise Kingdom"
For a long stretch of the run-up to Oscar night, it seemed as if best picture would be Abraham Lincoln's to lose. But momentum has shifted in recent weeks: The perceived snub of Ben Affleck in the directing category and his movie's strong showing at the Golden Globes and elsewhere means that "Argo" now has the edge. "Beasts" won't win but it's still the year's most startlingly original vision. "Les Miz" is more bizarre Broadway/CGI mutation than a movie.
Will win: Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln"
Should win: Benh Zeitlin, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
Shouldn't be here: Ang Lee, "Life of Pi"
Was robbed: Kathryn Bigelow, "Zero Dark Thirty"
With Bigelow and Affleck out of the race, Spielberg should easily triumph, and in fact "Lincoln" is exactly the kind of movie the Academy likes to throw Oscars at: important, historical, good, good for you. "Lincoln" may ultimately be Daniel Day-Lewis's and Tony Kushner's film more than it is St. Steven's, but Oscar periodically likes to show this director love, and here's where it'll happen. For all of Lee's marvelous world-building in "Pi," the film's message is muddled.
Actor in a Leading Role
Will win: Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln"
Should win: Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln"
Shouldn't be here: Hugh Jackman, "Les Misérables"
Was robbed: John Hawkes, "The Sessions"
The easiest money of the year: Day-Lewis has no serious competition for his uncanny, deeply personable reincarnation of a national icon. If more people had actually seen "The Sessions," Hawkes might have been nominated for his quietly heartbreaking performance.
Actress in a Leading Role
Will win: Jennifer Lawrence, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Should win: Emmanuelle Riva, "Amour"
Shouldn't be here: Naomi Watts, "The Impossible"
Was robbed: Marion Cotillard, "Rust and Bone"
Lawrence had a stellar year — a great performance in "Playbook" and a blockbuster hit with "The Hunger Games" — and she has the momentum. Still, don't discount the Academy's love of aging movie icons, even when they're French. Quvenzhané Wallis may have been 6 when she made "Beasts," but it's a real performance; Watts, by contrast, delivers a triumph of technique that, like much else in "The Impossible," has trouble touching the heart.
Actor in a Supporting Role
Will win: Tommy Lee Jones, "Lincoln"
Should win: Christoph Waltz, "Django Unchained"
Shouldn't be here: none
Was robbed: none
A gathering of old pros. Every actor in this category has won before, each is beloved to one degree or another, so it's just a matter of where the sentiment will land. Jones and Alan Arkin are neck and neck: The latter's seedy Hollywood producer is a great inside joke but the former's Thaddeus Stevens is a great performance, a great part, and great history, and it channels the actor's legendary crankiness in delightfully fresh ways.
Actress in a Supporting Role
Will win: Anne Hathaway, "Les Misérables"
Should win: Amy Adams, "The Master"
Shouldn't be here: Jacki Weaver, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Was robbed: Nicole Kidman, "The Paperboy"
Singing "I Dreamed a Dream" in quivering macro close-up while dying of Generic Tragic Wasting Disease: That's acting. Not to me, but it is to a lot of people, and I'm guessing it'll be to Oscar voters. And good for Hathaway, who's deserving, if not for this. "The Paperboy" may be a modern camp classic, but Kidman does strange and wonderful things in it. Adams delivers the sneakiest, most subtle performance in "Master" — no way she'll win.
Original Screenplay
Will win: "Zero Dark Thirty," Mark Boal
Should win: "Zero Dark Thirty"
A tough category: Will the Academy recognize the precision eccentricity of "Moonrise Kingdom," the hard truths of "Amour," or the epic terseness of "Zero Dark Thirty"? If the torture controversy sinks the latter's chances, look for "Amour" to win; otherwise, this should be the top prize of the night for "Zero Dark."
Adapted Screenplay
Will win: "Lincoln," Tony Kushner
Should win: "Lincoln"
It's possible that the "Argo" groundswell could carry over to a win for Chris Terrio's fine screenplay. But it's much more likely that Kushner's brilliant "Lincoln" script — a working definition of the power of words — will triumph.
Animated Feature
Will win: "Frankenweenie"
Should win: "Frankenweenie"
Another tough call. Pixar usually wins, but "Brave" isn't the studio's best work; "Wreck-It Ralph" has a big fan base that may not include older Academy voters; "Frankenweenie" wasn't a hit. But Tim Burton's love for horror movie history may sit well with this crowd, and the industry may want to atone for snubbing the director when "Frankenweenie" was a 1984 short.
Foreign Language Feature
Will win: "Amour"
Should win: "Amour"
Maybe "Amour" and its stark depiction of a couple's final months will hit too close to home for aging Oscar voters, who might prefer the comforting costume melodrama of "A Royal Affair." But don't count on it.
Documentary Feature
Will win: "Searching for Sugar Man"
Should win: "How to Survive a Plague"
Torn between competing real-world agonies — AIDS in "Plague," military rape in "The Invisible War," the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in "The Gatekeepers" — Oscar voters may well settle for the feel-good musical comeback story of "Searching for Sugar Man."
Visual Effects
Will win: "Life of Pi," Bill Westenhofer, Guillaume Rocheron, Erik-Jan De Boer, and Donald R. Elliott
Should win: "Life of Pi"
All five nominees have excellent, state-of-the-industry special effects. Only one has respect. Unless the Academy's knee jerks reflexively toward "The Hobbit," the much-praised magical-realism of "Pi" should win.
Will win: "Life of Pi," Claudio Miranda
Should win: "Skyfall," Roger Deakins
The painterly lost-at-sea images in "Pi" are majestic indeed, but is it cinematography if so much of it comes from a computer? Discuss. Regardless of how you feel about the movie, there's no denying that "Skyfall" is astonishingly shot by Deakins, a great DP who has never won an Oscar.
Film Editing
Will win: "Argo," William Goldenberg
Should win: "Zero Dark Thirty," Dylan Tichenor and William Goldenberg
I'm betting the pro-Affleck and anti-Bigelow camps will come together here, despite the incredible cutting by Tichenor and Goldenberg in the climactic Abbottabad sequence of "Zero Dark Thirty."
Sound Editing
Will win: "Zero Dark Thirty," Paul N.J. Ottosson
Should win: "Zero Dark Thirty"
The Affleck effect may prevail here as well, so don't rule out an "Argo" win. But this is also a good, safe place for voters to honor Kathryn Bigelow and company's meticulous craft.
Sound Mixing
Will win: "Les Misérables," Andy Nelson, Mark Paterson, and Simon Hayes
Should win: "Life of Pi," Ron Bartlett, D.M. Hemphill, and Drew Kunin
The Academy is more likely to honor Tom Hooper's "daring" in recording live vocals for "Les Miz," but the otherworldly power of the castaway scenes in "Life of Pi" is as much aural as it is visual.
Production Design
Will win: "Les Misérables," Eve Stewart and Anna Lynch-Robinson
Should win: "Life of Pi," David Gropman and Anna Pinnock
An embarrassment of visual riches, this category. "Anna Karenina" and "Life of Pi" are especially ravishing imaginary worlds, but look for the gargantuan set-pieces of "Les Misérables" to hold sway.
Costume Design
Will win: "Anna Karenina," Jacqueline Durran
Should win: "Mirror Mirror," Eiko Ishioka
The award will probably go to Durran's luxuriously hyper-real czarist-era gowns for "Anna," even if Ishioka's costumes for the Snow White re-do "Mirror Mirror" are crazy-fantastic.
Makeup and Hairstyling
Will win: "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," Peter Swords King, Rick Findlater, and Tami Lane
Should win: "The Hobbit"
The running joke — because it's true — is that the category should be called Most Makeup. Barring a "Les Miz" upset, this award should be Peter Jackson's sole consolation.
Original Score
Will win: "Life of Pi," Mychael Danna
Should win: "Life of Pi"
Danna's intoxicating score interweaves motifs from Indian, French, and classical-music traditions; it's the most challengingly beautiful score of the bunch and has been recognized as such by film-score fans and the industry alike. Of course, the Academy could play it safe and just hand John Williams his sixth Oscar.
Original Song
Will win: "Skyfall" from "Skyfall," Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth
Should win: "Skyfall"
Amid the relentless revisionism of the new James Bond movie, Adele's song stands out as a glorious throwback to Shirley Bassey and the spy series' glory days. No contest.
Documentary Short
Will win: "Open Heart"
Should win: "Inocente"
A lot of well-made heart-tuggers here, all deserving. I'd personally be happiest if "Inocente," about a homeless teen artist, took the prize. But expect the young African coronary patients of "Open Heart" to win.
Animated Short
Will win: "Paperman"
Should win: "Paperman"
The most mainstream choice — Disney's "Paperman," about a young urban couple who meet cute via paper airplanes — is also the cleverest, funniest, and most affecting.
Live Action Short
Will win: "Curfew"
Should win: "Henry"
Pre-Oscar night buzz seems to be favoring "Curfew," a ragged but mostly right tale of a recovering New York junkie baby-sitting his niece. But if voters aren't exhausted after "Amour," they might favor the haunting Alzheimer's drama of "Henry."Ty Burr can be reached at email@example.com.

Horn speakers have been around nearly a century. They were used in movie theaters when the films became "talkies", and their advantage is that they are extremely efficient, which is good, because the power amplifiers in the theaters during the 1930's were very low powered. Linn Audio has built horn speakers for several decades, but most hi-fi enthusiasts may never have heard a horn speaker. They are characterized by wonderful, effortless midrange. The Linn Audio Athenaeum horn speakers are reviewed here.
- Design: Two-way, Ported
- Drivers: One 1″ Compression Tweeter, One 15″ Cone Woofer
- MFR: 30 Hz – 20 kHz ± 3 dB (Optional Super Tweeter Extends FR to 40 kHz)
- Sensitivity: 97 dB (110 dB when Bi-amped)
- Recommended Power: 15 Watts Minimum
- Dimensions: 43″ H x 28″ W x 28″ D
- Weight: 225 Pounds/each
- MSRP: $60,000/pair USD

The Design
Horn speakers have compression tweeters and midrange drivers, but conventional woofers. Sometimes all the drivers are arranged in a horn design, which means the driver is at the small end of a megaphone.
A compression driver has a small dome with a voice coil, sitting within a chamber that has permanent magnets on the sides. The dome moves with the musical current, producing compression of the air within the chamber, and this forces air between the magnets out of the chamber into the horn.
The megaphone for a horn speaker does not have two simple straight lines that converge at the driver end and open wide at the output end. There are complicated mathematics involved to design the horn so that it does not sound like the powered megaphones that police use, or the sound that occurs when you cup your hands together to yell something at someone down the street. The result is a design that curves in very specific ways as the horn goes from a small opening where the compression driver is, to the wide opening where the sound emerges. If the curve of the horn is not properly designed, it can have a sound called "shouting" at high volume.
In the photo below, the tweeter with its horn is shown. At the center is the compression driver.
The Athenaeum is very big, and very heavy (225 pounds), with about 2″ of layered MDF as the enclosure. The sides of the enclosure are non-parallel, to reduce standing waves.
The crossover is second ordered, with a crossover frequency of 2 kHz. The compression tweeter is actually sold as a midrange driver, but the frequency response extends to 20 kHz, so David Linn built the speaker with just the two drivers instead of putting an official compression tweeter (available optionally, extending the frequency response to 40 kHz), as this eliminates one additional crossover frequency (there are unavoidable problems when crossing over the sound at any frequency from one driver to the next).
When David brought the speakers over to our lab, he removed the crossover network board to show it to me (see photo below). You can see how simple it is, and simple is good. It can be connected in two different ways. One goes to both the tweeter and woofer, with resistors (total of 16 ohms) between the input and tweeter since it is much more sensitive than the woofer. The other way bypasses the resistors, and is used when bi-amping the speaker. This yields a 13 dB improvement in efficiency of the tweeter, so that amplifiers such as single-ended pure Class A triodes (e.g., using a 300B as the triode) can be used to drive the tweeter, using only about 5 watts.
Here is the rear panel with the speaker binding posts. It is wired with the resistors in the tweeter path, and is being driven by one power amplifier. The top set of binding posts go to the tweeter without the resistors in the signal path.
These speakers are designed for a big room, and fortunately, I have one – my living room.
I placed them about 8 feet apart, slightly toed in. My listening position is about 15 feet at the other end of the room. Behind the speakers is an atrium, so the speakers did not have a reflective surface nearby.
I used the single-amp speaker binding posts, i.e., with the resistors in place, so that the volume of the tweeter and woofer would be the same. (See the last photo on the previous page for the wiring setup.)
In Use
I tested the Linn Athenaeum speakers with an OPPO BDP-105 universal player, Pass Labs XP-20 preamplifier, and BAT VK75 SE power amplifier. Cables were Wireworld.
The first thing I noticed was that I only had to turn the preamp volume control up one notch or two, to get my typical listening volume (medium loud). Again, this kind of sensitivity is one of the advantages of horn speakers.
The album Pure, by Haley Westerna, has several tracks that are a good test for an amplifier or speaker's presence or lack of higher ordered harmonics. "Benedictus", in particular, is my favorite from this album. When she hits the high notes, the album's title spells out the sound on the Athenaeum. Nothing gets in the way of her incredible voice and the listener. It's one of those albums that soars with Pure Class A amplification (the Pass XP-20 and BAT VK75 SE are Class A biased). The sound had a hint of extra midrange, which is confirmed in the bench tests. Not too much . . . just enough to give a warmth to the sound.
Solo harp is a good test for transient clarity, with the pluck of the strings producing very strong transients. I sensed no fault in the sound at all with the Athenaeum's. Transients were intense and detailed.
This Telarc SACD (CD-80515-SA) is an excellent performance of Dukas' La Peri. The opening sequence has a very large brass component which, if there were significant IM distortion, would sound harsh. On the Athenaeum speakers, it sounded like brass – clean, piercing, but not harsh. There was no tendency for the tweeter to "shout" at higher SPLs.
Franz Liszt was the first real "Superstar" of classical composers. Before his arrival in the world of classical music, composers were treated like third class citizens. No respect. Even Bach was treated this way. But Liszt, needing several pianos to play an evening of piano works because the frames in those days were wooden instead of metal, would break them with his dynamic playing. One one evening, he went through five pianos. His music was astonishing, as, apparently, was his love life. Women fainted when he played. Dynamics? He could touch the keys as a feather, or pound them as with a sledge hammer. So, just about any Liszt recording can be used not only to test dynamics, but the timbre that is true to the piano's sound. All of these characteristics were reproduced with the Athenaeum speakers, and again, with just a few watts. Amazing !
On the Bench
For the distortion measurements, I placed the microphone 1 foot from the center of the respective driver.
At 20 Hz and 90 dB output, THD+N was 8%.
At 50 Hz, distortion plummeted to less than 0.5%.
At 1 kHz, distortion was 0.2%, and this was coming from a 15″ driver rather than the usual 5.25″ midrange driver found in most speakers. Not bad at all !
Measured from the tweeter, a 9 kHz signal at 90 dB produced less than 0.5% distortion. Excellent performance!
The room frequency response, measured at a distance of 3 meters, is shown below. The peaks and dips are due to the room, so if we take an average, it appears to be reasonably flat down to about 70 Hz, when it declines. There is a small amount of boost between 700 Hz and 1 kHz, which would make the midrange a bit forward. Like just about every full-range speaker, the Athenaeum would benefit from a dedicated subwoofer to take care of the lowest octave.
The Athenaeum is a very easy speaker to drive, not only because of its sensitivity, but because it has a nominal impedance of about 10 ohms. However, because these are ultra-high-end speakers – at 60 Large for the pair – I suggest that you upgrade your $799 receiver that you got from Amazon, and go with a pure Class A triode preamp and power amplifier (or integrated), somewhere in the neighborhood of about 30 watts per channel or so.
The Linn Audio Anethaenium's are the first horn speakers I have ever reviewed. The sound is robust and effortless, with a marvelous midrange that sings like angels.
Expensive? Yes. Sounds terrific? Yes. Solid build? Yes. Are there speakers out there that cost several times as much as these? Yes. Wife acceptance factor? Well, I would suggest a grille that covers the entire front baffle. Perhaps baffles for the two front side angled surfaces as well: black with chrome steel (magnetic) posts that extend just beyond the tweeter horn.

Kane cross country finishes regular season
RIDGWAY – In the final dual meet of the season the Kane Wolves cross country team competed at Ridgway against the St. Mary's Flying Dutch, the Brockway Rovers and the Ridgway Elkers.In middle school action, Colton Barr once again led the way for the Wolves running a time of 12:42 and finishing 15th overall. The following runners, all members of the girls' middle school team, finally had enough members to score and compete as a team in the race. Shyanne Blankenship and Jordan Race held down solid one and two finishes for the Wolves, running times of 13:14 and 13:15 respectively. Olivia Blackmore finished next with a time of 13:55, scoring 12 points for the team, while Courtney Peters would finish next in a time of 13:58, teaming for a tandem finish with Blackmore. The Wolves' final finisher was Brandi Wheatley, who finished the course in 18:43. The girls' team finished third in the team competition. In the varsity race, only one female finisher for Kane registered as Kristin Boyer finished the course in 22:15, making her the third female finisher in the race, setting an additional career best time. In the boys' race, Kane narrowed the gap on St. Marys from earlier in the season (18-43), but couldn't close enough to seal the victory, as St. Marys won the meet with a score of 27 points while Kane finished with 31. Brockway, the other team present, scored 64. Avery Colson and Chris Hunt led the wolves again with a tandem finish, Colson just edging out Hunt to finish in 18:30, with Hunt finishing in 18:31. Jon Gelsick was the next finisher, battling down the homestretch with St Mary's runner Dylan Shields. See full article by purchasing the Oct. 20 edition of The Kane Republican.

What To Do With The Minor
- With a background in women's and minorities' histories, graduates are poised to work with advocacy groups, human rights organizations, environmental and consumer groups, health care, and youth, elderly, and social services.
- Because their studies emphasized understanding differences and discovering the intersections between racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and other forms of oppression, women's studies graduates are well suited for entry-level positions in a wide variety of settings, including policy and lobbying organizations, research centers, trade and international associations, and unions.
- Women's studies graduates' knowledge about power relationships and injustice often leads them to choose careers in government and politics, because they are determined to use their skills to change the world, starting in their own communities.
- The interdisciplinary nature of women's studies is an excellent preparation for careers in education and librarianship that require expertise in finding and using information on contemporary social issues.
- The integration of race, class, and gender issues makes women's studies programs especially appropriate as preparation for many graduate degrees.
- Minors feel well prepared to enter the medical professions, where their expanded insight and sensitivity to social concerns prove useful.
- Others have found that their degree is increasingly relevant and at the cutting edge in issues facing the legal profession

Fuel Overdose Review
In theory, a car combat game that blends a bit of Twisted Metal with RC Pro Am should be fairly foolproof. You've got two concepts that work well enough on their own to provide a lot of fun times for players, and can combine two completely different gameplay setups that blend fairly well together – as seen in games like Rock 'n Roll Racing and Karnaaj Rally. Fuel Overdose tries to mix things up by limiting your ammo and overall supplies and calling itself tactical – something you could get away with if the game was fairly balanced, but it isn't and it's a crippling problem that renders something that should be fun into something that isn't.
You've got a variety of cars to choose from with their own pros and cons, and each generic character in the post-apocalyptic world has their own special attacks and skills. That's all well and good, and everything there works nicely. There is some strategy thrown in with a grappling hook that allows you to hook onto corners ala Jet Moto and get past tight corners without much trouble once you learn it, or you can use it to sling yourself off of opposing cars for a speed boost, which takes far less practice to learn. Every resource you use has a limit on it, and between races you're given an allotment of cash to spend however you wish on items. You can put back bomb chargers in exchange for more machine gun fire and that kind of thing, although it seems quite ridiculous to limit THE AMOUNT OF COMBAT YOU CAN DO IN A COMBAT RACER. These limits don't seem to apply to enemies either, who seem to be able to fire off as many rounds as they want without any consequence.
Another major issue comes in the form of damage from collisions – any collision with another vehicle takes health away, but when you're in a crowded field it's easy to find yourself losing a ton of health while your AI opponents only have a fraction gone. If you collide and are sent off-course, you can respawn by hitting Select, but it often takes a few seconds before the accelerator will even register – another issue that doesn't seem to affect AI rivals. The sometimes-slippery driving mechanics also make it far too easy to slide off-course, resulting in frequent resets.
It's a shame that playing the game elicits frustration more than it does fun, because while playing, you can imagine how fun the game would be if its ideas were executed well. Occasionally, things click into place – more when you're taking part in multi-player since it's a far more even playing field. While offline multi-player isn't an option, online you can have some fun with the game and enjoy it without the goofy story mode or things like challenge missions that just place you on existing tracks to help make the game seem bigger than it really is.
The story mode is at least comedically bad because of how cheap so many elements of it seem. The character art is nice and big – which is good since there's only one main drawing for each character, and they just remove the front of the jaw for a frame to indicate talking. The funniest parts come from arguments, which result in the art being darted in the general direction of the other person, or being awkwardly moved up and down to indicate anger. I absolutely love the unintentional comedy on display.
The character art is also fairly funny, as it's basically just generic crazy anime art designs – complete with women going into a warzone nearly topless and guys running around shirtless with gallons of gel in their hair. The in-game graphics are pretty good at times, with the minor cel shading effect around the cars looking good and the car designs seeming fine, while environments usually look very good but are hurt by little things that take you right out of the game. During a rain-soaked area, you'll be sucked into the stunning rain effects, and then bewildered as water rushes over the terrain and looks like more a graphical glitch than something intended to be in the game.
The audio is shockingly good, in particular the soundtrack. It's full of rock songs that sometimes have lyrics and are nearly on par with stuff you'd listen to on the radio – it's so good that I wish the soundtrack was available to purchase. The sound effects are also fairly good, with the machine gun fire in particular sounding exactly as it should, while the special attacks have a nice ferocity to them and the bombs you can detonate throughout the track sound excellent as well. It's kind of a shame that the audio is the best part of the game, but also not because it's good to see a game take audio design so seriously. Thankfully, they didn't try to add voice acting to the ridiculous storyline, as it probably wouldn't have helped the audio any, and just taken away from the game as a whole unless it added more unintentional comedy to the proceedings.
Fuel Overdose is a huge disappointment and a sloppy game as a whole. It isn't completely devoid of good stuff, but it isn't anywhere near as good as it could've been given the concept. The core gameplay is fundamentally flawed on its most basic level, to the degree that mere patching wouldn't be able to fix it. It's a shame too since I really wanted to like the game, but it's nearly impossible to do so in single player. Multi-player makes it worth playing if it hits the $5 range or is a PS+ freebie since that is a lot of fun and tends to be far more fair to players than the AI opponents are.
