1903 W600 Sporting Life Cabinet John McGraw - Highest Graded!
Starting Bid - $1,500, Sold For - $6,463
Graded EX/NM 80 by SGC. Highest-graded example! Magnificent high-grade example of Hall of Famer John McGraw from the very popular W600 Sporting Life cabinet-card set, issued in mid-1903. SGC EX/NM 80 is an almost unheard of high grade for any W600 Sporting Life cabinet card, let alone for a significant Hall of Famer such as John McGraw. This is an extraordinary card. Two variations of McGraw (both in street clothes) were issued in W600: one with an infielder designation and one with a manager designation. The offered example is the "manager" variation. Extremely bright, crisp, and clean, both front and back, with perfect centering and strong square corners with only the slightest hint of wear. No creases. This card really couldn't be much better. It is accompanied by the original glassine envelope in which the card was issued, which has protected it since 1903 (removed from the envelope so that it could be submitted to SGC for grading by REA). W600 Sporting Life cabinet cards were available only by mail. They are universally recognized as among the most substantial and highest-quality baseball-card sets ever issued. This is an outstanding ultra high-grade example of one of John McGraw's most majestic cards, and one that would be a significant addition to any world-class W600, Hall of Fame, or prewar card collection. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $3,000/$5,000.

Yep, still. What am I forgetting?
- 06-16-2012 #22
What you are forgetting? Well, I would think that guys who have more to show are more likely to sign up for getting their dicks measured, not all, but more I think, just like bigger guys are more likely to brag, talk and post pictures of their dicks. The big guys are likely often more cock-sure and would get a full erection, not being disqualified(but you say that`s bullshit, so that doesn`t count)...
But will anything anyones says make you challange your own opinions and views and think about it, or will you just stick to what you believe no matter what?
Edit: I guess everyone must be in on it too, since all the modern and reliable(?) surveys performed by medical personel show about the same numbers. And why wouldn`t they lie about the average being bigger, that way they could use it to sell shit?

Yep they are, and they lie about PE too, they flat out dismiss it as being impossible. Billions of people on this planet, so many people that they havent measured, they don't even have a good sample size. Do you know what one of the urologists I saw told me before? Here are his exact words "your penis cannot shrink, and you cannot enlarge it" Thats a crock of shit. if I saw an honest study ( that will be probably never) then I would believe it.

I see.... And "THEY" think they are getting away with it too, everyone must be in on it..
Don`t generalize, EVERYBODY hates it....(yea, that was a joke)... And I wonder what their plan is, since they are lying and saying the average is smaller instead of saying it is bigger so people will buy more of the shit they are trying to sell, they must be really devious!...
Do you understand what statistical truth is?... Nevermind, it seems you have made up your mind no matter what anyone say or what they back it up with.

Thats correct, they want you taking their medications, they want you to remain unhealthy, and they don't want you doing PE. "They" lie about most things, statistics, health, economy, elections, fluoride in the drinking water, PE, penis size and too many more to list.

- 06-16-2012 #27
have i totally missed the point in this thread?? what on earth does medications that keep us unhealthy hav to do with why us bigger guys post pics or the fact that if the bigger dicks are less common, now let me see here.....heres some evidence that shows they are more uncommon
forum members = 53,493
members with big dick pics = 38
oh look thats less than 1000th of the entire pegym population which have big dick pics, and probably not many more than that actually have unpic'd big dicks .....
before coming and opening up a can of worms, that has been opened thousands of times before on the forums, by people who would rather waste their time moaning about the bigger dick guys, than to put their efforts into actually getting a big dick "like we have". why dont you check your evidence, theorys and "facts"... in a proper manner before hand.
it is painfully obv that when only 38 members of 53,493 have big dick pics posted, that there is just a few more smaller guys around than there are bigger guys.
and another thing, why were you actually looking at these 4 black guys dicks in the first place???

What does "uncommon" even mean here? Even if a million guys have big dicks, most don`t. And what is considered big varies from person to person. You see more big ones than small ones on the internet, but I would think why is obvious!

This is why I hate the "size" topics because they literally go nowhere good. And it seems that one can correctly measure a flaccid length by eyes alone especially when hanging and not parallel (sarcasm). Who care, really?
So dudes with big ones post some pics, fine, let them post them if they want. The thing that gets me is if you are already above average then what should you even care? And prejudice simply means to judge before time or without fact, and clearly in this case the not so "uncommon" is prejudice because many stats tell another story and most clinical measurements from condom companies try to be accurate so they know size to make the most so it isn't too tight (leading to breakage) or too loose that is slips off during intercourse (vaginally or anally). That's all I got to say. Now, really, who is the prejudice one in the full meaning of that adjective.Begin 7/25/2011:

Welcome to Healing Well chico41, glad to have you join us here.
First let me just say (((kindly))) and from a females perspective, that when I read your post here I didnt see you discussing your wife's depression and what hardships it causes BUT more so common marital problems/miscommunications.
You did mention that your wife "has been on depression meds for years"...My concern here would be that you state that she is seeing several doctors to get her medication right. In fact she should only have one physician managing her medications. Ever heard the saying "too many fingers in the pot"? My suggestion would be to seek out a psychiatrist. Most people dont like to or resist this idea as they feel this would "label them" but in fact these are the physicians that are most qualified in prescribing antidepressants, know the chemical compounds of the drugs and are most able to keep up on adjustments or changes if needed.
Yeah a lot of people who have depression are pesimiscit...it just comes with the territory I guess. I would say that instead of trying to be her mentor you should try to just be supportive of her and let her know that you are there. Dont try to direct her or change her because that will cause anger. Depression isnt something you can fix or something that is going to just go away. It is a medical illness, chemical imbalance that she cannot control and you cant control by giving her suggestions on being positive. Your different people and going to see things in different ways...it seems that you need to try to communicate with your wife about these issues.
ElishaCo~Mod: DepressionModerator: Heart & Cardiovascular Diseasehttp://www.healingwell.com/donate
Hey chico, Your most welcome for the responses. It does sound like your wife is having a difficult time with menopause, thyroid problems which can most certainly trigger depressive symptoms. I am glad to hear she is seeing a psychiatrist for treatment of depression.
It is very understandable how difficult it is to be in a relationship with someone who is depressed. I have had depression for a very long time, was in a long term relationship with a guy for 11 years, 5 of those we were married. We did have some intense arguments and said hurtful/harmful things to each other. Two years into our marriage I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis so that added to matters of course. I took more medication and was more moody I guess, things in our relationship had certainly changed and I wasnt able to be as active as I was before which upset him.
He was of the mind that he could fix me, my depression, my MS. He didnt think I needed to be taking all the medication I was because he didnt see it helping. Thing was that his constant what I felt was disapproval was what was bringing me down more. When I tried to tell him that what he was doing wasnt helping it was hurting he never heard it, never heard me. It really just got to the point where I couldnt and wouldnt talk to him about anything. I shut down and eventually moved out, filed for divorce.
I had to learn to heal myself and deal with my issues in a constructive manner. I dont know if I could of done that with him or not. It has been 3 years and I am in so much of a better place mentally and physically even though I have been diagnosed with another neurological disorder.
You may not be the best at communication but I give you props for admitting when your wrong and apologizing. There are so many men out there who dont. I dont know that you have to change so much as learn about the disease, be patient and try to keep in mind that you are indeed in this together so support each other. Maybe take her out to dinner one night and discuss how you both need to approach this and communicate with one another. Hang in there and know we are always here for you.
Els!!! As to my wife (Karen), she does not want to do a thing right now but sit in the chair hold her dog and watch nothing on tv. we just got back from a 2 day trip on the bikes to Sturgis. She was great, or should i say ok the first day, the second day i could see her getting in one of her moods. when she is in them moods she is so far down anything i say or do is WRONG. so i try to let her go threw it. I tell her i will be here for her, but not beside her. she is upstairs i am downstairs. i told her i am not gonna fight.
So as to us going out for supper or a movie or a ride is not even an option. I ask her and she says no. i say honey you have to get out. she hates it when i say that so. i just leave it alone. How else do handle this package? like i say i try to be positive but a guy can only handle so much. i used to run in relationships, for some reason (LOVE) i am still here. Don't want to see her running from us or should i say her problem.
Shen has been there for me when i went threw hip surgery, and a battle with CHrohns. Lovely lady with out the disease. Package deal.
Well I agree with all the kind advice others have shared with you but I do think you need to see a therapist to talk through your frustrations and become educated about Depression and Anxiety. Just my humble opinion.
OK bikers........Ride On! Teresa, I too love the sun on my face. My therapist always tells me to get out in the sun as people with depression need lots of sunshine.
Chico, can you just take her out on a beautiful day and just be together............nothing special, just soak up sunshine?

Still a popular favorite at thome, New Year Sacrifice has made appearances at numerous international film festivals, winning a special award in Czechoslovakia. The story takes place in the years just before and after the Revolution of 1911, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. On a farm in Zhejiang Province lives a young widow, Xianglin, whose family tries to sell her to peasant He, who wants her for a bride. Sianglin instead manages to escape to the village, where she works as a housemaid. But Xianglin's family finds and kidnaps her, and the marriage takes place. Xianglin and He slowly fall in love, and their union produces a son. But tragedy strikes the family. First her husband dies, and then her baby is eaten by wolves. Returning to her former post as maidservant, Xianglin is treated as a ariah, eventually being forced to leave. She becomes a half-crazed beggar, finally dying on a village street on New Year's Eve. That New Year's Sacrifice suceeds so well is due in part to the fine acting by Bai Yang as Xianglin. Bai Yang is one of China's greatest leading ladies. Crossroads and The Spring River Flows East, two pre-Liberation classics, are among her numerous screen credits."

My tremendously chocoholic son isn't awake yet and I'm enjoying the peace. I've also 'hidden' his Easter Egg. How long do you think that he'll take to find it?
I could resist the Wow! factor of this stonking 1kg Asda Extra Special Hand Decorated White and Milk Chocolate Belgian Egg chosen for the store by Leith's School of Food and Wine. It was just a tenner. I was going to tell you all about them when I bought it but they sold out weeks ago just as they hit the shelves. Oh, and by the way, in case you're wondering, we are not one of those households where a child is allowed to eat all their Easter eggs on one day. The 'rich creamy white chocolate with buttery vanilla notes' should last for months. Or maybe not - if Mum helps out!

"Fine" craft opens up a new contested territory of practice and understanding. As I've said previously, I think that it is a categorisation of creative practice that is useful to explore, but I would appreciate some clearer definition from somebody about what it is.
It seems to me that the idea of "fine craft" could be derived from one of two things. The first is "fine jewellery", a well used and understood term that broadly means:
Jewels with precious gem set (diamond, ruby, emerald, sapphire in platinum or gold setting) differing from semi-precious jewels (such as amethyst, aquamarine, tourmaline in gold or silver setting) and costume jewellery (imitation stones in base metals, gold-plated settings). The difference is in the distribution and sales channels since fine jewellery is most exclusively sold through high-end independent sellers or exclusive jewellery chain stores.In other words, the "fineness" refers to its economic value: craft for rich people. However, it is clearly the case that craft for rich people in the 21st century need not be defined simply in terms of the economic value of the materials from which it is made.
David Poston's laser welded armlet made of treacle tins was one item in this year's Col lect exhibition. Germaine Greer referred to this piece in her review of Col lect in The Guardian, which stressed both the high cost of much work on show, and its lack of utility:
"There was only one basket maker, almost no cutlery, few textiles. Everything was meant to be displayed, not used. It is a feature of 21st-century life that craft is discontinuous with our lives; our dwellings have become showrooms for conspicuous consumer durables."So, to take "fine craft" as a definition related to "fine jewellery", we are talking about symbols of conspicuous consumption - beautifully crafted, but exclusive and "discontinuous with our lives."
The second derivation could be "fine art", where we are stressing the conceptual content of the work. Caroline Broadhead, whose work is shown above, is prominent amongst those makers whose work bridges craft/fine art. The difficulties of bridging this divide, especially in terms of the institutional obstacles presented, are very well explored by Jorunn Veiteberg.
The semantics of the f-word itself aside, a further interpretation of "fine craft" could be that which is professionally-defined - in other words, craft produced by art school graduates. This professional segmentation of creative practice is also noticable in fine art, where the art establishment is rigorous in its policing. The reason that the UK's top selling and highest profile painter is in the permanent collection of only one public gallery in the country (in Kircaldy) is less to do with quality of his work, and more to do with the fact that he's a former mining engineer from Fife who is self-taught. As Sir Terence Conran says of Jack Vettriano:
'They turn their backs on him because his work has been reproduced on posters, which I think is incredibly elitist and snobbish. In Scotland the art establishment has sneered at him because he is self-taught."So, which is it?
As we await responses, check out a recent article in The Guardian on the new political crafters. It quotes Betsy Greer, who says:
"Each time you participate in crafting you are making a difference, whether it's fighting against useless materialism or making items for charity ... it is possible to go beyond banners, email petitions and chants as ways of fighting for a cause you believe in. You could have a knit-in, papier-mache puppets or teach a crafty class for kids."This, it seems to me, follows the long historical role of craft which is a way of thinking and acting upon the world as a means of self-development, critical reflection, education and making culture. And at times, to pay the bills, it's about making stuff for rich people.

House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN) issued the following statement after National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Richard Griffin determined McDonald's Corp. and its franchisees are "joint employers":
This decision is detached from reality. While the board is considering this very issue, the general counsel is trying to rewrite the franchise model workers, employers, and consumers have known for decades. This is yet another activist decision from the general counsel's office. Big Labor has scored once again at the expense of workers and employers. Let's hope wiser heads prevail and this absurd decision is rejected.

- Automatically create DFMEAs from the Domain Map
- All of this supported by a robust, scalable database:
- Complete model stored in database including XL1D multi-physics models
- Flexible and configurable access for collaboration
- Built in variant analysis for design comparisons
XLDyn Mission
For Systems Engineering to be effective it must be practiced by everyone in the organization, not just a group of experts. Our mission is to make systems engineering software that is easy to use so the whole engineering team can participate. Systems Engineering should not be the documentation completed work. We provide a comprehensive toolset that engineers can use to do their daily work and the documentation becomes a natural result of the work process. We have developed a fully integrated platform with an intuitive and easy to use graphical interface. We have two modules developed in Microsoft® .NET 4.5 Framework. XLSE for authoring OMG™ SysML compliant system models and XL1D for authoring and simulating detailed 1D multi-physics systems models. The XLDyn technology is covered by four approved U.S. Patents, plus one pending.
Motivation for System Engineering
Product success requires meeting or exceeding the customer expectations typically captured as VOC (Voice of the Customer) as well as other Stakeholder input. VOC and Stakeholder input finds its way to requirements, which at each level of the design are balanced with design parameters. One group's design parameter becomes another group's requirement, and those requirements need to be verified by a variety of methods and tracked over the life of the project. Traceability from the VOC/Stakeholder input to the final validation is required to ensure success while project status needs to be current and easily available for everyone involved in the project. Engineers need to define requirements, trace relationships, verify status against targets in one easy to use software tool.
Solution = XLDyn
The solution to this is XLDyn as it provides the most integrated and easy to use MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineering) software for requirements and verification tracking. XLDyn has a wide range of functionality needed by Systems and Simulation Engineers, and at the same time provides a "project view" capability that is ideal for managers and teams to keep abreast of project status. XLDyn is the perfect tool for balancing designs at the system, subsystem and component level.
Why Excel?
We choose Microsoft® Excel as the graphical user interface because it's a popular, ubiquitous engineering tool. Microsoft® Excel is used not only by engineers, but also by financial analysts and business executives on a daily basis everywhere. The chances are you already use Microsoft® Excel and are familiar with Microsoft® Excel's many features. As a new user, you will learn how to use XLDyn™ that much quicker!

Some of the main arguments against the electoral college are that 1) It provides inequitable representation, and 2) It decreases voter turnout. On the contrary, however, the Electoral College provides completely equal representation to not only the states, but also to the people. It is a genius mechanism for guaranteeing that all of the U.S. Be represented, instead of just the highly populated areas. On top of that, there is extreme lack of evidence for the argument of decreased voter turnout. The worst part is that a report by the Huffington Post tells us that without the electoral college, there would be decreased voter turnout. Ultimately, it needs to stay.
The catalyst for the majority of dissent the Electoral College receives is out of unmitigated ignorance. Incredulity is not enough for a sound argument, and in varying degrees exclaiming "I don't know understand it, so it must not work" is lazy. To those that claim "very little is known" about the electors or the College, that's your fault. We live in the Age of Information, your state's electors are public knowledge and can be found with a simple search with any mundane search engine. If my opinion so far somehow feels filled with arrogance and written in a condescending tone: good, that was my intention, but I suppose I'd be hypocritical to tell you that your opinions are weak and lazy if I didn't at least offer a contrary position. The Electoral College may seem complicated or antiquated, and I'm not going to delve into the history of the institution, but lightly defend it. 7% of the 56 American presidential elections has the losing candidate win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote. That is 4 out of 56. "But, Bob I think 4 is too many blah blah it's unfair blah blah Bush STOLE the election." Well then, I'm going to ask you politely to not interrupt me again, or I swear to god, I'll turn this car around; don't make me come back there. However, that threat issued to your incessant whining, you bring a valid point. Is 4 too many times to overrule the majority of the American will? The simple answer: no. The long answer: no, it isn't. I'm not here to argue that the Electoral College is a perfect system, because it isn't, I'm here to argue that the Electoral College is a better voting system than simply "Majority Takes All." Why, you ask? Shut up, and stop interrupting me as I was about to tell you 'why?' First, I hark back to that 93% of presidential elections have been decided by the "popular" vote. That is an incredibly near-perfection rating that is unheard of in the realm of American politics. Secondly, we aren't going for a "100% majority chooses," are we? No. We aren't. The Electoral College preserves the integrity of the election process through protecting the interests of minority states. The Electoral College prevents the domination of a populous state or metropolitan region over smaller and rural states and regions. No region contains the absolute majority of electoral votes to win the presidency. There is an incentive to form coalitions of regions, and voting blocs that may be dispersed throughout the country rather than instigate or aggravate regional differences. The winning candidate, and president elect, must leverage. It is because of this "leverage effect" that the presidency, as an institution, tends to be more sensitive to ethnic minority and other special interest groups than does the Congress as an institution. Changing to a direct election system would therefore actually damage minority interests as they would be overwhelmed by a national popular majority.
The United States needs to get rid of the Electoral college. To me, and many Americans, it just does not make much sense. I think that if someone wins an election by popular vote, then they should win the election overall. With the electoral college, this does not happen. I think that the electoral college may have had a place in politics 200 years ago, but not in today's society.
In short, the legislature selected electors, who in turn elected a president and vice president. So where did that leave the American people? In the early days of the Electoral College, they didn't seem to have much of a voice. Fortunately, today, members of the Electoral College are no longer appointed by the legislature, but are voted on by the American public as they cast their votes for presidential candidates. However, so little is known about Electoral College nominees -- or the Electoral College process in general -- that on Election Day, most Americans believe they are casting their votes for president. In reality, they're voting for unnamed electors who will cast the deciding votes in the presidential race.
The Electoral College is antiquated and out dated. There is no reason to keep such an ancient idea as part of the election process every four years. Without the Electoral College, candidates won't be able to focus all of their resources on one state such as Ohio or Florida. Ideally, a presidential candidate should be able to appeal to everyone in the first place, not just citizens of one area.
During the election with Bush junior he lost the votes per capita but won because some electoral college member choose to vote for Bush junior instead of the person the population chose. I don't think the electoral college is right for the United States because the peoples votes should count, not a middle man that talks with lobbyists.
The electoral college leads to all sorts of strange things, like some states simply not mattering (because it's almost certain which way they're going to go) and other states, like Ohio, getting a disproportionate amount of candidates' attention because of their high electoral vote count combined with the large number of undecided voters. The President of the United States should be campaigning for the entire United States, and the votes of the entire US should matter.

Gary Younge is editor-at-large for the Guardian, a columnist for the Nation and the author of Another Day in the Death of America.
If politics is the art of the possible, then radicalism must be the capacity to imagine new possibilities, says Gary Younge
The battle lines are clear. Democracy is in peril and the left must take itself seriously electorally and politically. Ruth Potts speaks to Gary Younge, who was based in Muncie, Indiana, for the US election, about the implications of Donald Trump's victory
Event: Black Words Matter
Join us to explore media justice with Gary Younge, Shake! and Numbi Arts, on Tuesday 19 July at Rich Mix in London
Hoping for change: Obama and the limits of elections
Gary Younge discusses the disappointment of Barack Obama's presidency – and credits recent progressive policies to the success of the Occupy movement
Identity canards
There is nothing inherent in any racial category or gender that makes it necessarily more radical - or reactionary - than another. But difference does make a difference, argues Gary Younge, and the left needs to re-examine its approach to issues of diversity, equal opportunities and representation
What Obama means to the world
People's obsession with Barack Obama says more about them than him, says Gary Younge
My friends on the left
Barack Obama is unique among recent Democratic presidential candidates in terms of the support he has mobilised and his relationship to his base. Win or lose, his supporters will need to stick around and organise, argues Gary Younge, as he analyses their dynamic and their role in determining Obama's prospects
Holding Obama's feet to the fire
With his appointment of a series of Clintonite economic and foreign policy advisers, Barack Obama has attracted fire from the American left. Doug Henwood, Gary Younge, Jo-ann Mort, Betsy Reed and Ta-Nehisi Coates debate the politics of Obama's candidacy and the huge mobilisation of support behind it
The Leaderless Mainstream
Across the US, there is a constellation of social movements emboldened by struggle but lacking representation. Gary Younge reports on the opposition to George Bush
America's new radicals
Gary Younge meets the newly politicised foot soldiers fighting to force Bush out of the White House
The medium is the message
The alternative media are more than a source of news; they help keep the democratic process alive.

Darshan-starrer Gaja, directed by debutante Madesha, is a full-time entertainer with the right mix of comedy, action and sentiments. Though the director claims that it is not a remake of the Telugu film Bhadra and is based on a Telugu novel, it does have shades of Bhadra.
Darshan plays the title role of Gaja, a close friend of Krishna. He accompanies his friend Krishna on his trip to his home in a village. Gaja's arrival is appreciated by all the family members due to his polite and friendly nature. Gaja falls in love with Krishna's sister, Shwetha (Navya Nair).
With a series of events that take place in the village, Gaja finds that Krishna's brother Davendra is being chased by a rival leader. The rival leader kills Devendra and his wife. In order to save Krishna and Shwetha's life, Gaja decides to take them away from the village.
While they try to escape from the village, Krishna gets killed by the rival gang. In anger, Gaja kills the rival leader's brother and manages to escape from the village along with Shwetha. He takes Shwetha to his house where everyone greets her with love. Shwetha has to go abroad for her studies but the rival gang is in search of Shwetha and Gaja as he had killed the rival gang leader's brother. Will Gaja be able to save Shwetha?
Director Madesh has done a splendid job with his first film. Darshan has given yet another scintillating performance with lots of charisma. He looks good in the songs and has delivered a power-packed performance when it comes to the action sequences. Malayalam beauty Navya Nair steals the show and looks gorgeous with her superb smile.
Ekta Khosla does her role with perfection. Komal and Master Hiranniah add to the comic elements of the film. Devaraj, Subbaraj and Rawat have done their job well.
Harikrishna gives some melodious songs. 'Aithalakadi', 'Lambooji Lambooji' and 'Maathu Nannulo' are the best tracks of the enterprise.
Cinematography by Ramesh Babu is perfect.
Cast: Darshan, Navya Nair, Ekta Khosla, Sourav, Master Hirannaiah, Komal

Gulf County offers near-shore boat access to numerous dive sites with area dive operators offering trips, air and rental gear. Our coast has relatively shallow depths providing longer bottom times and good natural light for photography of reefs and tropical fish. One can dive on artificial reefs from 2 miles to 45 miles offshore in water depths from 20 to 150 feet.
For experienced divers, the 463-foot long Empire Mica is a British Tanker sunk by a German sub during World War II, and considered one of Florida's best wreck dives, at 108 feet deep. The Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA) has established over 200 reefs since 1997, which have become a haven for our healthy fish population.
Not a certified diver? No problem. Daly's Watersports offers a Discover Scuba Program, consisting of a 30-minute DVD classroom instruction, a skill review in 5-6 feet of bay water, then an actual dive on the historic shipwreck, The Vamar, resting at 25 feet — all under the supervision of a certified instructor. Don't want to haul your own equipment? Don't worry. Daly's Watersports has everything you need, just give them a call at 850-229-6330.

A mother's breast milk has antibodies that the baby needs to help fight disease. Breastfeeding makes the baby stronger in fighting disease and infection. Mothers should use discretion in breastfeeding, such as using a private room or covering herself with a towel, so as not to embarrass others. But, it is the best way to help the baby, in the early months of their life.
Breast milk is the best food for infants. It provides a complete meal, with the perfect mix of vitamins, nutrients, protein, calories and fat. It also provides babies with much needed antibodies to strengthen their immune systems. It is proven that babies who were breastfed have fewer childhood illness and a reduced risk of obesity, later in life. For the mother, it helps her body heal after childbirth, by naturally shrinking her uterus. It helps her lose the extra baby weight, by keeping her metabolism high, and it provides some amount of natural infertility to prevent having another baby too quickly. Some studies even suggest that women who nurse multiple babies for six months or more are at significantly reduced risk for breast and other female cancers. Although not all women are able to breastfeed, if possible, it is the best way to feed a baby.
Women should breastfeed their babies, if they want to do so. The choice should be entirely up to the mother. Studies indicate that breast-fed babies are generally healthier than bottle-fed babies. Yet, this is a very personal decision and should be left up to the mother. Breastfeeding should be done in private.
As a breastfeeding mom, myself, I see the benefits of breastfeeding very clearly. My son sleeps better at night after nursing, is very healthy, spits up a little more than formula fed babies, but it doesn't smell nearly as bad. I think that breastfed babies are able to get nutrients and bonding time with mom that formula fed babies do not.
Women have breasts for the one purpose of breastfeeding a baby. It has been proven that breast milk is far more nutritious for the infant than man-made baby formula. It is sad that this modern society we live in is offended at seeing a woman breastfeeding her infant in public, when it is just the natural thing to do.
It is the milk that was made for babies point blank. How are human's here right now... Because way back when... meaning the 50's when formula was starting to be produced... Most women were breastfeeding. Meaning that IF IT WASN'T FOR WOMEN BREASTFEEDING THE HUMAN RACE NEVER WOULD HAVE SURVIVED!
Women who are able should breastfeed their babies. It is more nutritious for infants than the chemicals in baby formula. Unfortunately, not all women are able to breastfeed their babies. Breastfeeding also creates a bond between the newborn and the mother, though not to say that women who are unable to breastfeed do not bond with their child. I think anytime that you can give your baby something natural instead of chemical, it is best. People should also make their own baby food as well in a food processor. Kids will eventually get enough chemicals in their bodies throughout life, but why not start them out in the healthiest way possible?
There are plenty of medical benefits to breastfeeding. Breastfeeding helps promote the child's growth better than artificial or non-human milks. It also provides the child with antibodies against infectious diseases, improving the chances that the child will be healthy. Medical benefits such as these should outweigh the social negatives, such as breastfeeding in public, or potential accidental exposure of a naked breast.
While some people argue against breastfeeding because they feel it is disgusting or inappropriate, it is likely those people have forgotten that breastfeeding is a natural process meant to help the baby. The breast milk produced by the mother is usually allergen free for the child and it includes many essential nutrients that help a baby fend off potential illnesses. Not only does breastfeeding help boost a babies immune system but it also helps develop a bond between mother and child. While formulas have boasted that they are as good as breast milk they will never be able to fully replicate it and the bonding experience between mother and child will surely be lost.
I think women ought to breastfeed their babies if it's possible, at least for a little while. It's better for a baby, it helps the mother lose weight, and it gives the infant time to get the closeness and nurturing that it needs for the beginning of life outside the womb. It is free, it is healthy for a baby and it's convenient, but really it is up to the mom as to what she thinks is best. I say do it if you can.
I am a Psychologist and apon further review of this topic I have found that children Often develop Parinoia, Schizofrenia, Manic Depressive dissorder, and other diseases when breast fed.
I support breastfeeding wholeheartedly but believe formula provides an equally valid nutritional option. I was unable to breastfeed and thought our world would end, but my feelings of despair were due to breastfeeding propaganda and lack of information education and understanding about formula. Our son thrived on formula and our bond is so close and wonderful. He has rarely been sick and is a picture of health and very intelligent. I believe it is the time, energy love and mothering you do which shapes your child. Whether I breast or bottle fed in my view made no difference. I would only hope for more support for Mum's who formula feed.

Marissa Alexander, the young mother who was sentenced to a 20-year jail term for firing a "warning shot" near her ex-husband in what she claimed was self-defense, has been ordered to receive a new trial. Alexander became the subject of much support after George Zimmerman was not arrested after killing Trayvon Martin because of Florida's "Stand Your Ground" defense. He later went to trial, but was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. Many thought it was unfair that Zimmerman did not go to jail for killing an unarmed black teen, while a black woman was in jail for not killing anyone. Now she might have her shot at going free.
It all started when Marissa and her ex-husband, Rico Gray, began arguing in their Florida home. Gray had accused her of cheating and questioning whether he was the father of their 1-week-old child. Rico reportedly had a history of abusing Marissa, who had once been hospitalized at his hands. She filed a restraining order.
During the argument, Gray ran out to her car and retrieved a gun, which she was licensed to carry. She returned to the house, carrying the gun at her side. She claimed that when Rico saw it, he charged her and threatened to kill her, so she fired a shot, missing Gray and his two young sons, who were also in the house.
A judge dismissed Marissa's "Stand Your Ground" contention because she had originally left the house -- which ended any potential deadly conflict. Marissa, however, claims she couldn't get out of the garage and had no choice but to re-enter the house. (Even after the shooting, Marissa and Gray were still in contact and had yet another physical confrontation, this time with Gray ending up the battered one.)
The judge also said he was stymied by the state's mandatory "10-20-Life" sentencing rules -- in this case, the 20 years that Marissa received. Now, however, the judge says that the jury was not instructed correctly -- that it wasn't that Marissa had to prove she acted in self-defense, but that the prosecution had to prove she did not.
Yeah, it gets kind of tricky.
I'm not so sure things that things will go better for Marissa this time -- but it does seem unfair that in a world where people routinely get off with almost nothing for vehicular manslaughter, Marissa is serving a life sentence for a bullet that killed no one. Especially considering that she had ample reason to be scared of Gray.
I'm not saying she doesn't deserve something -- but 20 years is excessive. If she does get another chance at freedom, I hope she doesn't blow it by getting back into that toxic relationship!
Do you think she deserves another trial?

Family stay
Why limit your Spanish learning to the classroom? Students seeking a complete Spanish immersion experience should consider combining their studies with a local family home stay. We can arrange for you to live with, to talk with, and (best of all!) to eat with a local family in Cusco for the duration of your studies.
Our families are all carefully selected, all recommended by previous students, and all extremely accommodating. Unless a student requests otherwise, the families are generally only able to speak Spanish, and are instructed to speak to students in Spanish at all times.
Our family stay package includes a private bedroom in the house of your host family, and two meals a day, seven days a week. Private bathrooms are also available with some of the families. All families have a fixed-line telephone, but most do not have Internet. However, cheap Internet cafés are available within a 5-minute walk from all families.
Families in Peru are generally big in size, big in love, and big in their meal servings. What's more, family is the cornerstone of the life and the culture of Peru, and becoming part of one - even if only for a short time - is the best possible way to experience and to gain an understanding of the local culture.
Other accommodation

Eidos president Ian Livingstone has claimed that gamers will always want high-quality single-player experiences, despite the diversifying industry.
In an interview with MCV Pacific, the man behind Lara Croft said that the increased prominence of social and casual gaming doesn't necessarily threaten demand for core single-player experiences, such as the Tomb Raider reboot.
A game like Tomb Raider has historically been a graphically intensive single player experience, and that's not simply going to disappear overnight.
He explained, "I think people still want a single player experience. The games industry is diversifying and is making new ways of delivering, new ways of playing games. One is certainly not totally at the expense of each other, and I think games as a product and as a service can live happily alongside each other for a long time to come.
"A game like Tomb Raider has historically been a graphically intensive single player experience, and that's not simply going to disappear overnight. What we're seeing is an emergence and a growth in the digital area and a new consumer which has come along (the casual gamer, which has almost reached ascendancy), but niche gamers are still going to be here and want content delivered specifically for them."
Livingstone suggested that consoles will remain the natural home for that type of experience for the foreseeable future, due to the intense power needed by the dependent system to run it. He compared this preference to choosing to watch a film at the cinema, rather than view it at a considerably lower quality on YouTube.
"Well, you've got to create a game that's relevant to the platform on which it's delivered, therefore the graphic-rich interactive experience of console Lara is inevitably going to be different to the experience that you'd expect on a mobile device" he mused.
"The important thing is that they're all linked by the IP and type of experience you get with that IP will depend on the device."
Given the recent furore surrounding scenes from the Tomb Raider reboot, it's debatable whether the same issues could have been rendered as emotively on a handheld device.
His comments paint a contrasting picture of the diversifying industry when compared with the claim by EA's Peter Moore that the future of games lies entirely in going free-to-play, regardless of content quality.

"Her own people stoned me half to death for trying to help her."
"It's not wise to mettle in villagers' affairs, Pali. They must've had their reasons. It was none of your concern. You should've stayed out of—"
"Don't shame my ears with your ignorance," I said, stopping a few steps from the graveyard's gate and squeezing my cousin's arm. "She took a risk letting a Romani youth into her schoolhouse, teaching him how to read in secret. We pay our debts, Manfred."
He lowered his eyes. "Forgive me. Without the learning you got from her, I wouldn't be here."
"Don't be daft." I let go of Manfred's arm. "I wasn't asking you for payment. Like I would let Lord Căcat Cu Ochi whip you for dancing on Sunday. Besides, his lady wife thought it was great fun before—"
"Shhh!" Manfred stopped, crouched and pulled me down with him.
"Listen," he said, cocking his head towards the graveyard. "Someone's in there."
I heard it, too; a low wail mixed with shaky sobs. My hand reached for the red pouch that hung from a cord around my neck. "A lot of villagers have gone angry into their graves. There could be hordes of spirits gone mad with fury haunting this place."
"No," Manfred said.
"I saw them do it," I said. "The women beat her and ripped her clothes. Then the men dragged her to the center of the village and stoned her until she stopped moving." I shook my head. "Kids spat on her."
"No, Pali, look. There's a man." He pointed towards the side of the graveyard where the village buried those they thought wicked. "He's hugging a post. Can't you see him?"
Still crouching, we moved closer to the sound. "It's… the reverend," I said. I went to him when they dragged the teacher out of the schoolhouse. He wanted to help. But there were too many of them. A good man, the reverend… His servants always brought food to the schoolhouse, and he made the teacher smile every time he brought her one of his illuminated little books.
Manfred and I hid in the bushes until after the reverend's sobs of "Forgive" and "Man is weak" quieted, and he walked out of the graveyard. I was relieved to know the teacher's grave was not ever lonely. A year had gone by since the reverend, his servants and I stood on the fresh soil that now covered her bones. Thirteen moons was too long to spend unwanted under a pile of dirt.
The school teacher rested under a naked tomb. "Bring her comfort and peace," I whispered into a bunch of red wild flowers, and bent over her grave. As I put down my offering, I noticed two very small trinkets that had been laid on the dirt by a puddle of hardened candlewax.
I must've watched the two little shapes for a lot longer than I thought, because Manfred came to crouch next to me, and asked, "What's that?"
"Strange," I said. "It's a baby rattle and a wee book."

3 stars out of 5 -- "Lin pulls out all the stops, from new ways to make Federation ships look cool in flight, to a snow-globe space station thats like Eschers take on Elysium, and theres a time-lapse shot to stir your soul." - 07/15/2016 Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- "The real star, as ever, is Zachary Quintos imperturbable First Officer Spock, who conveys logical calm, droll humour, and a kind of martyred romanticism. He rules the movie with a single raised eyebrow..." - 07/15/2016 The Guardian
"The script injects a welcome strain of humor that's true to the original Gene Roddenberry creation, delivering nostalgia without stiff veneration." - 07/15/2016 Hollywood Reporter
"[T]here are suggestions of classic STAR TREK style action-plus-characterization-plus-cleverness, and pleasing performances by a cast that has settled into each others' rhythms, as a real-world naval crew would after years of sailing together." - 07/22/2016 RogerEbert.com
"[T]he movie bounces along, hurtling its heroes over colliding wreckage and into currents of artificial gravity, pausing just long enough for a punchline or a knowing exchange of looks." -- Grade: B - 07/21/2016 A.V. Club
"[O]ne of the abiding pleasures of STAR TREK, in its old and newer iterations, lies in its balance of stubborn consistency and canny inventiveness. The characters never change, but the stakes can shift wildly from one adventure to the next." - 07/20/2016 New York Times
"STAR TREK BEYOND plays like an episode of the old STAR TREK TV series....It might even feel like youre back in your rec room, circa 1967, drinking Tang and waiting for the Tribbles." - 07/21/2016 Boston Globe
"Because Lin has apparently been a STAR TREK fan since his youth, he is in tune with the earnestness that is one of the TV series legacies. At its best, this results in a heartfelt tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock." - 07/21/2016 Los Angeles Times
3 stars out 4 -- "[P]lenty fast and furious. But it also openly gives its heart to what came before; any Trekkie that doesn't choke up at this 50th-anniversary edition is no longer in the club." - 07/21/2016 Rolling Stone
"Humour, rather than the Enterprises warp thrust, is the driving force here. And with a screenplay that was co-scripted by Simon Pegg, the gags tend towards the engagingly nerdy, self-referential variety that will best connect with the fanbase..." - 07/24/2016 Observer

Threefold Architects have produced a concept design for a new Arts Hotel in Manor House, East London. The concept for The Green Rooms is inspired by the rich architectural tapestry of the city that surrounds it. The proposal is to create a unique new hotel 'community' for artists, young professionals and other like minded guests that offers a range of flexible and affordable accommodation options and communal spaces for socialising and agile working.
On the first and second floors, rooms are conceived of as a series of different 'houses' arranged to form 'streets' in place of corridors, with a central 'community garden' for shared working/socialising opposite the main entrance to the floor. Each house will have a front garden containing a bench/locker for secure storage, creating a public private threshold, which is a place for thinking, resting,working or exchange with one's neighbours.
The ground floor contains reception, bar, hotel shop, restaurant, two dorm rooms a 'living room' and an external garden space. Whilst the top floor contains a dramatic vaulted roofed function room, bar and flexible events space.

LEASE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TOWARD (OIL) MEN: Fifty-eight members of Congress have joined throngs of environmentalists in expressing outrage at the Bush administration's leasing of 148,000 acres of pristine Utah canyon lands to oil and gas prospectors last week. In a letter to President-elect Obama, the U.S. reps requested a post-Bush reversal, something that still rests with the courts; a federal judge has until Jan. 19 to decide whether to allow the lease sales to go through. (Source: ProPublica)
ANTI-CLIMATIC: It's that time of year again: The same people who scoff at scientific connections between heat waves, hurricanes and global warming are energetically musing that this week's heavy snowfall proves global warming isn't happening. (Never mind last week's news that La Niña is cooling down 2008 — which is still between the seventh and 12th hottest year since 1880). Rather than breaking out the text books again, GOOD magazine offers a pithy, everyman's breakdown of why
global warming climate change is bad. (Sources: National Geographic, The Washington Post, AP, The Boston Globe, National Review, The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, The Baltimore Examiner, The New York Times, GOOD)
PIECES OF FLARE: The EPA has backed off its attempt to regulate new oil refineries' "flaring" — burning waste gases when starting or shutting down production — after facing pressure from industry lobbyists who complained the rule would be too expensive for oil companies such as Exxon Mobil. (Source: Bloomberg News)
MANAGED CAIR: The Clean Air Interstate Rule that a U.S. appeals court shuttered this summer is back in effect today, due to a ruling one environmentalist called a "holiday gift to breathers." The court shut down CAIR, which regulates interstate sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions, after ruling in July that the EPA had overstepped its authority, but was persuaded to leave the rule in effect until the Obama administration can concoct a compromise.

PIANO LESSON: Architect Renzo Piano, who recently designed the greenovated California Academy of Sciences, shares his environmental philosophies with the Associated Press today. (Source: AP)
A TALE OF TWO ECO-CITIES: The Christian Science Monitor reports today of an eco-city's downfall in China, a country not normally known for being environmentally proactive. Dongtan, across the Yangtze River from Shanghai, was to be the sustainable, carbon-free home for 50,000 residents. But the new city's prospects seem to have crashed along with the career of Shanghai Mayor Chen Liangyu, who was involved in the project but was arrested on property-related fraud charges in 2006. In slightly happier eco-city news, TIME magazine reports from Kuzumaki, Japan, essentially the model for human sustainability. It generates 161 percent of its energy from renewable sources — montane windmills, cow dung, solar panels, wood chips — and thus has the luxury of selling some to neighbors. But falling oil prices and a declining population may increasingly obscure some of the city's luster. (Sources: CS Monitor, TIME)

I have done some preliminary troubleshooting and have discovered the following... The fuse and the electronic cap are fine. I get good voltage to one side of the relay, the relay coil appears to be energized but the 12 VDC stops at the relay. I did jumper the 12 volts to the other side of the relay and the display lights up and I hear noise from the speaker. But no frequency displayed. This is as far as I've gotten. I did note on the schematic that the relay has two transistors (Q1118 & Q1122). Q1118 is labeled as H-V Protection on the block diagram. Both of these devices connect to the relay (FL1001).

Hillary Clinton should have kept her personal and public emails separate for transparency and safety. It is not for her to decide whether it is safe to send emails over a private server, and as a public figure she is responsible for the country's safety, not just her own. The protocols were set up by people who know more about security than she does.
There is no difference in strength of security between private servers and government servers. They all run the same encryption standards. In fact, it may be safer as any government server may be a higher class of target to hackers than a private and anonymous one would be. Hillary may have made a public no-no but I don't think she put the security of the nation at risk.
I do not believe that Hilary Clinton's use of private server and e-mail account has been a breach of national security. I believe that everyone, even politicians, are entitled to their privacy. I do not think that anything she could have done on there server would have put our nation at risk.
Hillary Clinton's use of a private server and e-mail account did not breach national security. Those who held her position previously did the same thing. Although there have been many allegations, these have come from her political enemies. In spite of this, no one has been able to prove that national security was breached.

Described as "the finest collection of 1840 to 1915 architecture of any small town in Wisconsin" by the Wisconsin State Historical Society, Evansville boasts an incredible collection of painted ladies, Craftsman bungalows, and Italinate beauties — just to name a few. As home to the second-oldest Nationally Registered Historic District in Wisconsin, the citizens and community of Evansville takes pride in its unique and varied collection of historic places for you to experience.
Evansville citizens, community leaders, and business leaders have taken care to preserve and revitalize both residential and commercial buildings throughout the City. The recent rediscovery and re-installation of the original brick pavers along Main Street was a signature rehabilitation project that perfectly complements the Historic Downtown retail / business district. Our efforts have gained recognition, with a number of projects receiving historic preservation awards.
