Watch Your Language
Many women with inverted nipples do breastfeed successfully! It can be a challenge at first, but it not something that automatically means you can't breastfeed (on the contrary, I think studies show that most women can overcome it). I'm not the expert on that, but lots of ladies on here have been there, done that. Hopefully you'll get some encouraging words and advice very soon!
Can you rent a hospital grade pump? I know it's not cheap, but neither is formula. It's worth the investment! Simply put, anything OTHER than a hospital grade pump is just NOT sufficient if you are exclusively pumping for your baby in these early days. Even high quality double sided non-hospital grade pumps are really only good enough for women who have already established a milk supply and just need to pump at work or whatever. They won't work in your situation. However, renting a hospital grade pump, hopefully for a limited amount of time, because you're going to get that baby on the breast soon I hope!, is a cost-effective way to get your hands on a much better pump. I'd start making some calls about that right away. In my area, you can rent them from hospitals or from certain local stores that stock breast pumps. Start calling around! Do you have a local LLL group? I'd call your local leader right away too - she might know how to hook you up with an affordable pump.
You can call me JoMo!

you can absolutely bf with inverted nipples mama.
i like the link jenna posted
here is an additional link
some moms will use a pump to pul the nipple out then latch the baby on, there are other tips on the LLL link too.
just call an IBCLC
if you felt engorgement i would say your milk "came in"

I had large inverted nipples and a preemie as my first little nursling... I used this Latch Assist instead of a pump before each session (it was a heck of a lot easier to set up but did the same job) and then pumped after each session to keep supply from tanking while we got the hang of it. It took a long time. It was frustrating. But it happened. And she nursed for almost two years until she self-weaned when I was pregnant.
It CAN be done. You CAN do this.
The latch assist helped a lot, and I could even use it quickly if during the session she was having trouble maintaining latch. And I'm not sure if it's common, but my nipples actually reached a point where they were no longer inverted and I didn't have to use anything anymore. They are still more flat than "average" (I think) but it wasn't like at the beginning. At some point they took form and stayed there. I hope that's encouraging.
Many moms can nurse with inverted nipples. Also, I have talked to several moms over the years who were told they had inverted nipples by someone who had no idea what they were talking about and that has included doctors.
Try laid back positioning http://www.llli.org/docs/00000000000...astfeeding.pdf and www.biologicalnurturing.com and try the ideas here for encouraging baby to the breast: http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/child/back-to-breast/
Also latch techniques: http://www.llli.org/llleaderweb/lv/lvfebmar04p3.html
If baby truly cannot latch, or until baby can, it is very important to use a hospital grade pump if at all possible-which are always rented by moms, not purchased, so while they are not cheap even to rent, they are certainly much cheaper to rent for a month or two than purchasing a double sided electric would be, at least around my area. (California, USA)
Also if you are on WIC (in the US) or some other public assistance, find out if getting a hosp grade pump is an option. And I mean, keep asking, and make sure you are talking to someone who would really know, with govt programs the first person you talk to may not be well informed.
In my area one of the county Breastfeeding Coalitions lends moms hosp. grade pumps.
Meanwhile, make sure the pump you have is on excellent working order, that the flanges are the right size, and add hand expression or breast compressions into the mix.
I had inverted nipples and breastfed my oldest just fine
Yes, EPing stinks. I have been doing it for almost 18 months now. It's HARD. It is a time sink. I was so frustrated at the beginning because it was like I pumped, fed my special needs baby (he could not nurse), and when he was done, repeat. A few things:
Stick your set up in the fridge between sessions. I reused it several times that way. Don't wash it between sessions.
Try cluster pumping in the evenings.
Make sure you get a hospital grade pump
But don't plan to EP. Plan to breastfeed.
This means a lot of things go on the back burner. If you can get baby nursing, most moms find life returns to some semblance of normal around 6 weeks. I will flat out say if you EP, it won't be normal for months and months. In fact, I did not find life was normal until I dropped to twice a day after 12 months. Before that, I had to arrange my life around being able to pump. I worried about how much milk I had constantly. We didn't go places because I had to pump and I have 4 kids...I can car pump, but they didn't like sitting in the car waiting on me! EPing is not what it is made out to be, so the struggle to get that baby to the breast will be worth it in the end.

I had flat nipples and had a rough start but we got there. /i had been told to use a nipple shield and do streching exercises around my nipples to try and breakup the tendons but i dont know if that was good advice. i did get off the shield and my nipples are no longer flat. keep trying things until you find something that helps. I think if your LC said that it wasnt possible see a different one and get a good pump its worth the investment

Police are questioning a 34-year-old man about the slaying of Frances Colon, the third Clemente High School student killed this year.
Colon, 18, was shot in the back last Friday evening in the 1100 block of North Pulaski Road in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood. Police believe she was not the intended target and was shot as someone else ran from the gunman.
Colon's father, Jose Colon Jr., said he was grateful for the latest development but still waiting for more information. "I'm happy that the police did their thing," he said.
Colon is the third student at Roberto Clemente to be killed this school year, according to the school's principal Marcey Sorensen.
Rey Dorantes, 14, of the 2400 block of West Augusta Boulevard, a freshman, was shot and killed on Jan. 11. His death came about a month after another Clemente student, Jeffrey Stewart, 16, of the 5200 block of West Race Avenue, was shot and killed on Dec. 9.
"I'm sick of it," Sorensen said over the weekend. "How many more kids have to die before we do something? Our kids live in fear and because of that, they are incredibly resilient."
Colon was a senior who was preparing to attend college. Hours before the shooting, she had been watching President Barack Obama speak at Hyde Park Academy on the South Side about gun violence, according to her father.
"She said, 'About time they do something with the gun thing,' " Colon Jr. said, adding that Obama and other elected officials need to "make these people more afraid" to shoot each other.

Justine Tatt was a bit nervous. In November, Tatt, who heads Your Virtual Assistant, a tiny Auckland, New Zealand-based company providing online help to customers, put in place a 10 percent price increase. And she feared that her mostly small business clients weren't pleased about it.
But Tatt didn't just sit and worry in the dark, or merely approach select customers for their reactions. Instead, she turned to a cloud-based customer feedback service called Survey Monkey she'd been using for about a year to survey all her clients and systematically assess their opinions. Her discovery: The vast majority were just fine with the change. In fact, "a few of them said they'd been expecting a price increase for a while," she says. "It gave me enormous peace of mind."
For Tatt, and a lot of other small business owners, feeling their customers' pulse – – and doing so scientifically – – is not an impossible dream anymore. They're turning to a growing number of online services allowing just about anyone to turn the cloud into an easy-to-tap place for customer feedback. Often costing a mere $25 or so a month, these services tend to fall into one of two main categories, according to Jonathan Levitt, CMO of Opinion Lab, a customer feedback site aimed primarily at large companies. One type of customer feedback service, like Survey Monkey, lets you question prospects and clients via the Web. The other type functions more as an online suggestion box that also creates a forum for customers to interact while providing feedback.
Disqus: Web-based tools for gathering customer feedback helped your business?
Joseph Alminawi, general manager of OMGPop, a New York City-based gaming platform, for example, uses a site called Get Satisfaction. By clicking on a tab on the website, gamers can post comments, make suggestions and respond to each other's opinions. But, as important, Alminawi can get an immediate feel for users' likes and dislikes. Example: Recently, the company added a new feature allowing gamers to see other participants' scores, expecting the capability to be a big hit. In short order, however, a deluge of comments and discussions on Get Satisfaction revealed that users hated the addition. "The response was overwhelming, so we changed the game. And the game is better for it," says Alminawi.
Just because you can get customer feedback, however, doesn't mean you necessarily will derive anything useful from the information. Like any technology that generates data, you need to know what to do with the material once you gather it. To that end:
Create a system. That means assigning someone to evaluate the data and decide what to do with it. Take Scott Barr, CEO of Southwest Exteriors, a San Antonio building contractor. He uses a service called GuildQuality to survey prospects that don't turn into clients, as well as customers of recently-completed projects. Barr regularly looks over results, and then asks his marketing administrator to run reports delving into specific issues – – for example, looking to see whether there's a correlation between negative assessments and size of projects or geographic area.
Don't take comments at face value. All feedback is not created equal. For instance, one stray comment doesn't necessarily indicate there's a significant problem. "There's always two sides to a story," says Barr, who usually first asks his team for their perspective before approaching a client. Obviously, the greater the frequency of a particular comment, the higher the likelihood there's a major problem.
Fine-tune your questions. If you're using a survey, you'll probably be able to customize your questions. For best results, don't use too many – – no more than 10 to 20. For Cynthia Nevels, CEO of CynthiaNevels.com, a Dallas management consulting firm, the test is whether it takes more than two-and-a-half minutes to complete a survey. For her part, Tatt tries to mix it up with different types of questions – – for every three that simply require checking a box, for example, she adds one calling for a longer comment. "You have to go through some trial and error," she says.

Most modern robots don't look much like the Jetsons' maid.
How many robots have served you today? Chances are, you've used some kind of a money-handling robot. Perhaps it was the ATM machine, the self-check lane at the grocery store, or the pay-at-the-pump at the gas station.
Robots are mechanical devices, controlled by electronics, that do jobs previously done by humans. Even modern household appliances like automatic dishwashers, washing machines, bread-baking machines, etc. could be considered robots. They may not have the intelligence and lovability that Rosie of the Jetsons did, but I do appreciate them!
Modern robots in everyday use include everything from big-armed automatic car washes to the tiny "scopes" that doctors send into various parts of our bodies. (And personally, I prefer car washes!)
My husband's cousin learned to be an electrician at the Allis Chalmers plant in Independence, MO, in the late 1960s. Later at General Motors in Kansas City, he was trained in industrial robotics and spent the rest of his working years doing that, quite profitably. A neighbor of ours (sadly, now deceased), who lived down the road about 2 miles here in Kentucky, traveled all over the country setting up robots in factories.
Today, I read about a robot that should be popular for both homeowners and commercial lawn-care firms -- a little remote-controlled gizmo that scoots through gutters. It uses augers and a brush to whiz out the leaves and collected crud.
The (South) Koreans have launched an ambitious program that is supposed to put a Ubiquitous Robot Companion in every home by 2020. One model is a roly-poly Rosie-like robot that's probably pretty cute in action, especially while it's doing work for you!
The robots will clean up homes, care for pets, read to children and identify visitors... Half of them will be controlled remotely via cell phone.
Source: Robots to do Household Work in South Korea, UPI article published on Physorg.com, July 03, 2006
Another article about Korea's rapid advances in household robotics reports that South Korea put 72% of their households on broadband in just five years! Based on the rate that broadband has been adopted in western Kentucky, Ubiquitous Household Companions may be available and affordable by the time my children are grandparents. But that's another topic.

The big screen phablet is in trend now and most of the users prefer to use the large screen phablet, but they are not easily fit in the pocket. Like other manufacturers, LG has also plan the phablet version of their Flagship known as LG G4 Pro which will expect come with many good features and will have strong features to keep the G4 critics quite.
LG G4 Pro Release Date and Price
Previously we heard that the LG G4 Pro is the second flagship device of the company and will be release before the end of this year. Though the LG did not say anything officially about this handset but they only suggest that the new handset comes in a premium design and after that one media report was on surface that the LG is working in the larger version of the handset which will come before the end of this year. According to the report, LG G4 Pro will be released on 10th October. Unfortunately, there is no information available about the price of this upcoming phablet but we have a general idea that the phablet will be sold at a bit high price than the regular version of the handset.
LG G4 Pro Specs:
Chinese FCC TENAA got the phablet for approval and revealed the information about the upcoming device. According to TENAA, the LG G4 Pro will come in 5.7 inches QHD display with 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. The display size of this upcoming device is 2 inches larger than the original LG G4 smartphone and has Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset. TENAA further confirmed that the handset will carry 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal expandable memory. The camera of the handset is improved and it will make debut with 27 megapixel rear and 8-megapixel front-facing camera. It is also expected that the G4 Pro is energized with the 3200mAh battery.
LG G4 Pro operating system:
If the expected release date of this upcoming device is accurate and the smartphone will make the public appearance in the suggest time than the LG G4 Pro most like to come with the updated version of operating system. Basically this is the Android Phone and there is a chance that it will run the latest Marshmallow version of Android which seems logical because the updated operating system goes official on 29th September 2015 and the G4 Pro will be announced after that.
G4 Pro design concept:
LG always launched their worth able handsets in a metal frame and like the predecessor this new G4 Pro version of the handset is also expected to come in a metal frame with the minimum bezels around. It is also expected that the handset carries the slim profile and less in weight, he accurate metal composition is still not known but it is said that the used material is hard and not easy to bend and gives the premium look to the handset and users fell ease to carry this phablet anywhere.

NWSB insider Brandon Choate brings us a Northwest Coaching Profile on ex-Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren. Mike Holmgren was a QB genius, playing the position himself until an injury derailed his playing career. He quickly took that experience into coaching, taking in QBs like Steve young, Joe Montana, Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck. He set multiple records while coaching in the NFL, especially while with the Seahawks.

The made for TV event known as the NFL draft kicked off last night with very little in the way of suspense or drama. The Kansas City Chiefs had the first overall pick and did as expected by drafting one of the two available offensive tackles. This year's drop of draftees did not have any real standout players in my opinion, there were good players but no great players. The Chiefs certainly needed a talented offensive tackle and appear to have gotten one but their needs went beyond what the draft was able to provide. The St. Louis Rams probably benefitted more from the draft than the Chiefs did but there is still a long way to go as round 2 and 3 are today and rounds 4 through 7 are tomorrow. Yes, they could certainly do the draft much faster but then there would be no purpose to Mel Kiper's life. What does that guy do the rest of the year anyway? Former Missouri Tigers standout Sheldon Richardson was drafted 13th by the New York Jets by the way.
The St. Louis Cardinals got their brooms out for the first time this year and swept the Washington Nationals completing the sweep with a victory on Wednesday afternoon. The Cardinals aren't exactly tearing it up offensively but are certainly getting the job done and are getting excellent starting pitching with only a couple of bad outings this year. The Cardinals finally get to sleep in their own beds again as they begin a three game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight at Bush Stadium.
The Kansas City Royals split the two games they were able to play in Detroit against the Tigers as they won in extra innings yesterday. Alex Gordon hit a grand slam home run in the 10th inning to seal the deal and make the plan ride back to Kansas City a happy one as the Royals begin a weekend series against the Cleveland Indians tonight.
Fresh off an impressive showing at the Macon Relays on Wednesday the Kirksville High School track teams head to Hannibal for another big relay today. There were several outstanding individual performances turned in by KHS track athletes on Wednesday and a couple of records set. The girls have now finished first in the last two relays they have participated in while the boys have had several outstanding individual performances especially from Andrew Gordon.
After a tough loss at Rockbridge last night the KHS baseball team faces Booneville in a home game this evening out at North Park. The Tigers continue to get quality pitching in just about every game.
The KHS boys tennis team continues to improve as they posted another impressive victory yesterday.
Speaking of impressive victories, the KHS girls soccer team has had its share of those this year including yesterday's shutout victory.
NASCAR is in Richmond this weekend for Sprint Cup and Nationwide races with the Spring Cup race being held on Saturday night for only the second time this year.
The NBA playoffs continue with several teams including the LA Lakers looking at almost certain elimination this weekend.
We'll be back on Monday with a review of all this weekend's sports action and a look ahead to next week. The are lots of local sporting events this weekend so I hope you will take the opportunity to get out and support our area athletes. Thanks as always for supporting this and all the blogs on this site.
Have a terrific weekend!

The Gulf County Board of Commissioners agreed Tuesday to schedule a public workshop with stakeholders in the Economic Development Council to try to find consensus on the future structure and mission of the agency.
Commissioners also declined a motion brought by new Commissioner Joanna Bryan to halt any movement by the board to hire former Commissioner Bill Williams in a lobbying capacity concerning the RESTORE Act.
Commissioners Tan Smiley and Carmen McLemore dissented on Bryan�s motion to halt work by the county attorney concerning a scope of services and agreement with Williams.
Commissioner Ward McDaniel joined Bryan. Commissioner Warren Yeager said he had an appointment he could not break and left the meeting before the issue was brought up.
Bryan said she had numerous phone calls and inquiries from citizens regarding the board�s action earlier this month to move the Economic Development Council back under the BOCC umbrella from a consolidated Chamber/EDC model the BOCC approved 18 months ago.
Bryan said there was a need for clarification of the board�s desires.
County attorney Jeremy Novak said that a meeting was held last week among some members of the Chamber as well as officials with the county and city of Port St. Joe, the latter two provide public funding for the EDC, to try to sort out the board�s wishes.
Novak said all parties agreed that a public workshop was necessary to hash out issues concerning the EDC and public input regarding its direction.
McLemore, who made the original motion to move the EDC back under the BOCC, said he was �solid� on his decision, but open to further examination.
He said he could not support putting money into the EDC without any tangible results to show for it. He also cited the lack of information.
McDaniel noted that at least the BOCC had gotten the attention of the Chamber/EDC with its vote of several weeks ago.
�We are going to go back and revisit this,� McDaniel said. �We got the attention. We need guidelines. All we get is give us the money and don�t ask.�
EDC director Barry Sellers later said that he had been providing monthly updates for his first nine months before actions by Williams, including removing Sellers from the county RESTORE Act committee, indicated his input was no longer welcome.
He acknowledged communications could be better, but that progress had been made, with as many as 26 site visits from companies seeking to potentially relocated to Gulf County.
He said he had done what he was charged with doing, expanding the Chamber�s reach to the north end of the county, luring in private partners, but had nonetheless seen his promised budget cut.
�I am here to work for you,� Sellers said, noting that six full-time employees manned the Chamber, EDC and Port Authority several years ago while Sellers has just one position currently.
Bryan said that the members of the BOCC had not always been fully supportive of various incarnations of the EDC and that many of the volunteers who work with the EDC and Chamber sense hostility when bringing issues to the board.
�We have people working as volunteers and they have been abused at the podium,� Bryan said. �It is shameful.�
She also noted that given a down economy and an election year, expecting much to happen in the brief time the current model of the EDC has been operational, results should not have been expected quickly.
�We haven�t given them much time to get things going,� Bryan said. �We need to be good stewards of the taxpayer money, I get that, but we also need to stick to our word.�
Smiley said the key was to set aside the personal agendas at play and get to work on jobs.
�I really want this to work because we are taking about getting jobs for people who need them, not for people who have a bank account they don�t touch over there,� Smiley said. �We�ve got to get together bringing everybody to the table and have people leave their personal agendas at the door.�
County administrator Don Butler said he would coordinate with city officials on a date, time and place for the workshop.

WK Consulting has clients worldwide.
The image of the company needs to be a professional one.
IT and Financial Professionals
Looking for an innovative New Logo
The "WK" should be shown together, and my thoughts are to have the word "WK CONSULTING" centered underneath the "WK" in a smaller font size.
** I prefer the "WK CONSULTING" word to be in all CAPS
However, I am open to creative suggestions and designs.
I do NOT prefer fonts in italic, and the logo should come off as being bold and professional.
I prefer metallic dark blue and silver type colors for the logo
The winning design will also be a main focus for the WebSite design I plan to be launching as well -- good luck!
I plan to use the logo for website, and possibly as a background so I would need a layered RGB file in Photoshop PSD and PNG format.
I would also like the final file as a flat JPEG version.
I would also need it for printing on business cards etc., so a CMYK version of the file in EPS and AI would be needed.
If specific fonts are used, I would also like to know which.

Man also sentenced for using Japanese weapon.
— The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has announced that in Scranton Senior United States District Court Judge James M. Munley sentenced Anthony Orlando Gibbs, age 37, formerly of Michigan, to 15 months' imprisonment for bribing a correctional officer at the United States Penitentiary at Canaan to smuggle contraband into the prison.
The sentencing follows Gibbs' guilty plea to a Criminal Information charging him with bribery of a public official.
The Criminal Information noted that during the spring and summer of 2011, Gibbs was an inmate at USP-Canaan. The United States Penitentiary-Canaan is a high security institution housing male inmates.
High security institutions, also known as United States Penitentiaries, have highly-secured perimeters featuring walls or reinforced fences, multiple- and single-occupant cell housing, the highest staff-to-inmate ratio, and close control of inmate movement.
The criminal information further noted that under federal law, inmates are prohibited from possessing cellular telephones. USP-Canaan is also a smoke-free environment; inmates are not allowed to purchase or possess any kind of tobacco product which is considered contraband within the institution.
The criminal information alleged that Gibbs paid more than $5,000 to correctional officer Donald E. Lykon to induce him to smuggle to the defendant cellular phones, marijuana, tobacco and related items within the United States Penitentiary at Canaan.
There was a plea agreement in the case which was accepted by Senior Judge Munley.
Judge Munley previously sentenced correctional officer Donald E. Lykon to 18 months imprisonment and his wife, Kimberly Lykon, to five months imprisonment for their roles in the scheme.
The investigation was conducted by the United States Department of Justice Office of Inspector General.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Gurganus prosecuted the case.
Honesdale man convicted
A Wayne County Jury convicted James Mihalis, age 54 of Honesdale, PA of Aggravated Assault With a Deadly Weapon, a Felony of the 2nd Degree, Simple Assault, a Misdemeanor of the 2nd Degree and Recklessly Endangering Another Person, also a Misdemeanor of the 2nd Degree.
The jury deliberated for approximately 30 minutes before a guilty finding was returned on all charges.
After the verdict Judge Raymond L. Hamill revoked the defendant's bail and remanded him to the Wayne County Prison pending his April 18 sentencing date.
The incident which gave rise to the charges occurred on June 29, 2012, in Berlin Township.
The defendant was walking his dog down the middle of Dunn Road in the area of Slish Road. The defendant was striking passing vehicles with a Japanese Sai, a metal martial arts weapon.
The driver of one of the damaged vehicles stopped to inquire why the defendant struck his vehicle. At that time the defendant struck the victim in the head with the weapon.
The case was investigated by Pennsylvania State Troopers Brian Rickard and Terrance Branning. First Assistant District Attorney Patrick L. Robinson prosecuted the case.
District Attorney Janine Edwards stated that she was gratified by the Jury's verdict.
"This verdict sends a strong message that the citizens of Wayne County are not going to tolerate this kind of outrageous conduct."

JAMES ¿CITY — A little eavesdropping confirmed what Larry Giles suspected. The new roller coaster Verbolten is a winner and should bolster tourism this year.
Giles, the vice president for design and engineering at Busch Gardens, casually stood next to the ride's exit during a soft opening last weekend. The coaster officially opened Friday.
"To hear what people said," Giles recounted, "a¿lot of them were saying, 'It's the best ride I've ever been on.'"
Busch Gardens debuted the coaster for the media on Wednesday, as well as to a more discerning customer base of 75-100 invited members of the American Coaster Enthusiasts.
Their reaction was enthusiastic, as many ended the ride with the beer-drinking cheer long a staple of the stage show at the nearby Festhaus.
In an interview as the coaster sped along the track, Elizabeth Ringas of Richmond called the ride "incredible." The trip was at least her fourth of the morning. She got back on again, riding alongside her 9-year-old daughter.
Her favorite element? "The launch just before the final drop," she said. That's something you don't see [on other coasters]."
The track spans more than 2,800 feet as faux European sports cars reach a top speed of 53 mph. That's deceptive, since the launch propels the car from almost zero to top speed in less than three seconds.
"This is the capstone to a two-year rejuvenation project in the Germany section of the park," park president Carl Lum told the guests. "This represents our largest capital investment ever. It's not only great for Busch Gardens, it's great for the Historic Triangle." The latter comment was a plug for regional cooperation on tourism.
Verbolten had to meet some demands seldom seen for a major attraction in the thrill ride industry. They included lap bars instead of shoulder harnesses, a 48-inch height minimum, and no inversion loops or corkscrews. This way, children can ride.
"Big Bad Wolf was often the ride parents used to introduce their children to coasters," Giles said of the legacy of Verbolten's predecessor, retired recently after 25 years. "We want Verbolten to fill the same role."
One of Verbolten's biggest bonuses is the speed at which lines will move. Each of the five trains holds 16 people, and two trains can be loaded simultaneously. Over the course of an hour up to 1,400 people can be moved through the ride. To test the theory, staff stood in line with riders during the soft opening, armed with watches to time the queue.
"It has exceeded my expectations," Giles said of Verbolten, noting that in the months leading up to the opening the ride has been tweaked, including special effects inside a building built for the ride, timing a jaw-dropping free fall during which the coaster drops 16 feet in the dark, and delaying a brake just before the final hill, a 90-foot plunge toward the Rhine River.
"I think it's pretty close to perfect."
Verbolten is jaw-dropping
JAMES ¿CITY — A little eavesdropping confirmed what Larry Giles suspected. The new roller coaster Verbolten is a winner and should bolster tourism this year.
Her family life was affluent, her private life was troubled. Now police think they have found her remains after 8 years.

From HaskellWiki
Currying is the process of transforming a function that takes multiple arguments into a function that takes just a single argument and returns another function if any arguments are still needed.
f :: a -> b -> c
is the curried form of
g :: (a, b) -> c
f = curry g g = uncurry f
Both forms are equally expressive. It holds
f x y = g (x,y) ,
however the curried form is usually more convenient because it allows partial application.
In Haskell, all functions are considered curried: That is, all functions in Haskell take just one argument.This is mostly hidden in notation, and so may not be apparent to a new Haskeller. It can be said that arrows in the types notation associate to the right, so that
Let's take the function
div :: Int -> Int -> Int
div 11
Int -> Int
Int -> Int -> Int
Much of the time, currying can be ignored by the new programmer. The major advantage of considering all functions as curried is theoretical: formal proofs are easier when all functions are treated uniformly (one argument in, one result out). Having said that, there are Haskell idioms and techniques for which you need to understand currying.
- partial application
- Section of an infix operator
- Sometimes it's valuable to think about functions abstractly without specifically giving all their arguments: this is the Pointfree style.
- Sometimes half the work of the function can be done looking only at the first argument (but there really is only one argument, remember?): see functional dispatch.
- Conversion between curried and uncurried style allows composition of functions with multiple values
- Simplify curry id
- Simplify uncurry const
- Express usingsndorcurryand other basic Prelude functions and without lambdasuncurry
- Write the function without lambda and with only Prelude functions\(x,y) -> (y,x)

Many couples can significantly enhance their lifetime Social Security earnings by having one of the pair claim spousal benefits at 66 years and delay personal benefits until 70 years of age.
This claiming strategy, which we call free spousal benefits, has been discussed here and elsewhere as one of the best ways to avoid the otherwise inevitable trade-off between getting money sooner (early claiming) and a larger benefit later (delayed claiming).
Having drunk the free-spousal-benefit pool-aid, an inquisitive client asked if the claiming strategy would work in the reverse. Instead of claiming spousal benefits first and then switching to personal benefits later, Karen wanted to know if she should claim her modest Social Security retirement benefits early, say at 62 years of age, and then switch to claiming her husband's larger spousal benefits later on. On its face, her idea seems to make sense.
However, let's look at how this actually works for Karen and her husband Burt. They are both 62 and their full retirement age is 66. Karen's full retirement benefit is $400 a month and Burt's is $2,000. Karen's maximum spousal benefit is $1,000 at 66 (that is half of Burt's age 66 retirement benefits). Burt plans to file for retirement benefits at 66, at which point Karen will be eligible to claim spousal benefits. Karen knows that she can claim retirement benefits early at age 62 and get $300/month (75% of the $400 she could get at her full retirement age). She also believes that at 66 she can switch to her spousal benefits and get $1,000.
On this last point Karen is wrong. When getting supplemental spousal benefits at 66, her full retirement age, her benefit will be $900, not $1,000.
The reasons for this are very convoluted. (A more complete description of the issues can be found at socialsecuritychoices.com/blog/?p=391.) While Karen was hopeful that the reduction in benefits from early claiming will be temporary, confined to benefits during her 62nd to 66th years of age, unfortunately this is not the case.
While claiming at 62 will provide Karen with income sooner, there is a cost. First, claiming at 62 means that she will receive only 75% of her retirement benefit. Secondly, the total benefit she will receive after getting the spousal supplement will be smaller than it would have been if she had waited until full retirement age to claim her retirement benefits. If she opts for this strategy, she will receive this smaller benefit for the rest of her life.
Approach the strategy of taking your own retirement benefits now and a supplemental spousal benefit later with caution. The rules here are especially complicated and Karen's example may not apply in your case.
It would be wise to consult an expert before pursuing such a strategy. The long-term benefit of claiming early might be lower than you expect.

Ronnie O'Sullivan was sensational in putting away Mark Allen 5-2 yesterday. He must have been: even he was happy with how he played.
But John Higgins represents a different challenge altogether. I don't need to remind anyone of their finger-nail shredding UK Championship semi-final just last month.
If today's clash produces anything close to that sort of excitement it should be a great spectacle.
First up are defending champion Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire, who was very impressive last night in beating Mark Williams 5-1.
Maguire did a proper job on him. Conscious of how well Williams was playing, he was properly focused throughout, mixed attack and defence with deadly efficiency and outplayed the in form Welshman.
It was a reminder of how well the world no.2 can play when he's in the right frame of mind.
Carter hasn't had to play his very best stuff yet but he's still going. The Welsh Open trophy - a piece of slate - is aesthetically unpleasing but he obviously likes the way it looks on his mantelpiece.
Carter may need to up his game against Maguire but if the O'Sullivan v Higgins match proves to be another epic the winner of the first semi-final could benefit, just as Ding Junhui did in Telford.

Dave would you agree that given the sparse attendances at the welsh open,apart from ronnies matches,that ronnie is indeed the only show in town,and without him snooker would be in a lot of trouble?We keep hearing that there is a lot of characters in the game today,but it is obvious that the paying public think otherwise.

To a degree, but I suppose the converse argument would be that if there wasn't so much attention on him all the time it would give the other players a chance to showcase themselves and their personalities more

"the supposed poor relation of the world ranking tournament circuit"
Dave, news for you - it is. Less ranking points than any other ranking tournament means it is 'poorer'.
- 11:13 am
Agree with you dave,but the problem the players have is no current player comes anywhere close to the talent ronnie has.The reason there is always attention on ronnie is because of the way he plays the game.Snooker is in the entertainment business,and unfortunatley for snooker,ronnie is the only real entertainer it has.Selby,higgins,ebdon,carter ect all great players,but how many people would pay good money to see them.Not a lot as we have seen.
- 11:19 am
absolutely true Dave. And it would probably do ROS good aswell. Even the top players feel the pressure and at times the expectations and pressure put on him are absolutely unreal. It certainly has been his undoing on a few occasions.

The number of spectators at the Welsh Open has been derisory, apart from tha matches involving Ronnie. Especially given Newport's position by the M4 which means the urban areas of South Wales and the Bristol area in England are well within driving distance.
I don't think this is because of the media focus on Ronnie but the general media and public disinterest in Snooker these days. Barry Hearn has a lot of work to do!
- 11:43 am
Did all the people decrying the crowd turnout buy tickets then? If not, why not?
I used to go to snooker years ago and the crowd figures were poor then. This was in the so-called 'golden era.'
The fact is, snooker is a more comfortable watch on the TV.

A secret is wasted if not shared
Hello Dave
How are you! The way player "A" beat Player "B" and the way Player "X" beats Player "Y" is always a conundrum to the snooker professional, not only to the average player.
The way that Mark Williams performed, like an artist and seemed like a trophy winner, yet his easy victor Steven McGuire is probable third favourite for the title. The dear ole bookie is laughing his head off whether he sponsors a tournament or not.
The only positive factor in snooker is: Players don't know what they are doing "Right" nor do they know what they are doing "Wrong". The amazing fact is; players play only on "Form" or by force of habit, something acquired in practice.
The only branch of technique practiced is a "Stance and Balance" that feels comfortable as opposed to being correct, plus the value of "Keeping still" on the shot.
Professional snooker is almost one hundred years old and still in its infancy. Players will get even better and more and more 147 breaks, but the game will remain a mystery to the average player, and especially to female players.
Snooker needs change and snooker positively needs women players entertaining with elegance and at an advance level. Mr hey you.

Well, Ronnie has been very consistent in ranking tournaments this year. Nobody has beaten him, except John Hingins. And because of these two defeats (Grand prix and Uk), each time before the final, and each time in the final frame, he will lost the place of number one. I Hope they won't play again in the same part of the drawn next year. And what about the WC 2010 ? Again together before the final ?
Sorry for my poor english. I write from France.

no matter what the subject we end up talking about o sullivan we survived after alex higgins and we will survive after mard arse the game of snooker is bigger than any one player

How about one qualifying round. 65-96 plays 33-64. Winners play 1-32 in first round, with 3 tables all the way to the final playing 3 sessions daily. first round to final would take 7 days. It would throw up a few new faces and still give tv the opportunity to feature star players. It would make a pleasant change to selby, maguire, etc.
- 3:08 pm
Mr hey you:
Are you then saying that the present day skill level is only a sign of what is to come once the game matures (if it is in its infancy as you said)?
How do you imagine that coming about and what would specifically improve?

Hi Dave,
If that is the case, maybe they should focus, geographically, on placing more tournament's under Hearn's regime in the Capital or around the South region.
Apart from Premier League Snooker and the old British Open around Bournemouth and Brighton, there is nothing.

Dear Claus and Hello Dave
How are you both! Thanks Claus for your inquiry and interest in "Fine Art" snooker. The game is in its infancy and isn't really getting better but more and more people find it easy to play at the games advance level.
The method of coaching is the same system laid down seventy years ago: "Watch Me" and I'll show you again method. The game is dull Claus with a sameness and repetitiveness very similar to an army drill platoon.
First class snooker does not "Entertain" and needs change before sponsors will show financial interest. The most entertaining players to watch are outside the top thirty, (with the exception of Ronnie O)but sadly have been overtaken by the new robot like players after there indoctrination.
If the WPBSA was given 5% of all the money acquired by coaching snooker; there would be no need to beg for sponsors. The game could carry on in its own aimless way with at least ten top tournaments each year worth really big money.
The professional game will become extinct Claus as it becomes over run by coaches, as no permit is needed to neither coach snooker nor sell snooker diplomas to any students willing to pay the going rate which varies naturally from person to person. Mr hey you
PS A truth never mentioned Claus, the game doesn't have a copyright DM

Dear Claus and Hello again Dave
Thanks Dave for allowing my posts as I seldom contributes to every day chatter like the "Miss" rule.
For the record Dave any rule is good for snooker as it always applies to both players.
A kind of personal heartbreak happens only when the referrer interferes. With the games best interest at heart Dave; a referee should not be able to declare a winner on an opinion.
About "Fine Art" snooker Claus! First, Snooker is the best "Game" in the world, but as a "Sport" the game part has to have entertaining value to compete with other TV sports. Sadly Snooker does not entertain except to us "Snooker Addicts".
The ordinary viewers often think they have seen the game on TV as the dialogue and faces are the same as well as the shots played.
If the WPBSA had a copyright they would be a multi million pound industry over night by insisting on an annual fee for a coaching permit. The fee would never exceed 5% of the various hourly rates set by the teacher or coach. Mr hey you

Pronounced: lim-fah-DEE-ma
Patricia Griffin Kellicker, BSN
The lymph system is a series of organs, vessels, nodes, and fluids. This system creates and carries fluids that play an important role in the immune system and maintaining the balance of fluids in the tissue. Lymphedema is a build up of fluid normally transported by the lymph system. The fluid build up leads to swelling in the affected area. While lymphedema occurs most often in the arms and legs, it can eventually spread to the core of the body and head. Lymphedema can range from mild swelling to swelling that dramatically increases the size of the limb and causes skin discoloration.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Lymphedema is caused by defect, damage, or infection of an area in the lymph system.
Primary lymphedema is caused by defects of the lymph nodes or lymph vessels. The structures may be missing or may not work properly. Though the defect are present from birth, lymphedema may not develop until later in life. Conditions associated with primary lymphedema include:
Secondary lymphedema develops when there is injury, infection, or nearby growth that blocks the flow of fluids in the lymph nodes or lymph vessels. It may be caused by medical conditions, medical treatments, or trauma.
Lymphedema is more common in older adults.
Medical treatments or conditions that may increase your risk of lymphedema include:
Symptoms of lymphedema include:
Lymphedema can also lead to complications like a breakdown of the skin, infections of the skin, or massive changes in the size and shape of the limb.
The doctor will ask about any symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The degree of swelling can be tested by pressing a finger into the swollen area. The indent in the skin will indicate the severity of swelling. Measurements will also be taken around the affected limb and compared to the healthy limb. The doctor may diagnose lymphedema based on the swelling and appearance of the skin and medical history.
If the cause of swelling is unclear, the doctor may want to do further testing. Image tests may help to determine the cause of the lymphedema. Tests may include:
Lymphangiography is a test that uses a radioactive dye to create images of the lymph system. It is rarely used.
Treatment will depend on the severity and cause of lymphedema. Some causes may respond to treatment and stop causing lymphedema but most will have a continued risk of lymphedema. Initial treatment may require more intensive treatment over a few weeks. A long term plan will be developed once initial goals are reached. Long term plans will include understanding factors that may worsen swelling . Managing lymphedema flare up early may prevent complications.
Options to treat lymphedema itself and prevent complications include the following:
Fluid is moved through the lymph vessels when nearby muscles and tissue contract or squeeze during normal movement. Mimicking this compression may help move excess fluid out of the affected area. Some methods that may help include:
A combination of treatment may provide the best results. A method called complete decongestive therapy combines the methods above plus the lifestyle habits and education below. Different methods will be tried until the best method or combination for each individual is found.
Certain lifestyle changes or habits may also help reduce the risk of increasing fluid in the affected area:
Surgery may be needed for severe lymphedema. The goal of surgery is to remove extra tissue from the arm or leg to unblock the lymphatic system and help reduce swelling.
Doctors or physical therapists will work with you if you are at risk for developing lymphedema because of medical treatments or conditions. Certain lifestyle changes and monitoring may prevent the development of lymphedema. If you had lymph nodes in your armpit removed during cancer surgery, a strength and physical activity program in recovery may help prevent lymphedema.

With close to 800,000 strokes each year in the United States, stroke is a major health issue for many Americans. Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. While risk factors for stroke, such as being overweight, high blood pressure, increased cholesterol, and smoking mirror those of heart disease, many people are unaware of these risks and how to reduce them. In addition, with advanced emergency treatments now available to stop a stroke in its tracks, knowing the simple signs of stroke could save your brain and save your life.
The seriousness and frequency of strokes often go unnoticed by the public; however, strokes occur frequently and affect individuals in all age groups. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds, and almost 25 percent of strokes occur in people 65 years of age and under.
Recognizing what puts you and your loved ones at risk for a stroke is a powerful step towards not becoming a stroke victim. What is bad for the heart is bad for the brain, so working towards an overall, healthy lifestyle will not only reduce your risk for stroke but also heart attack , memory loss and many other diseases.

Colt 45 acp Commander for target shooting
I have been hunting around for a standard (5 inch) 1911 to use for local club target competition (most any gun is acceptable and course of fire is not official) and stumbled on a Combat (steel frame) Commander, all original. I am new to pistol target shooting and wonder if there's a measurable disadvantage to the shorter barrel models. As litle as I know, they might be preferred so the question is a very general one; That is "How suitable is this model for "Entry-to-moderately competitive level competition?" I need to ask this because I intend only to buy one gun and keep it for as long as the gun itself surpasses my ability. Right now I could use my Blackhawk and still get some useful experience, but we all know how rapidly, the initial improvements come (assuming there are few bad habbits that need correction) and then more slowly thereafter. I don't want to discover a couple of years from now that I genuinely need to have another gun. Nor do I want to develop any additional bad habbits BECAUSE I started out with a four inch 1911. I am not opposed to some custom work down the road to enhance accuracy but they should not require a whole new base platform.
If your answers can be at all quantified or at least qualified (and I am speaking to those serious competitors I think), I would like your input.

If, by "target competition" you mean bullseye style shooting where absolute precision is the goal, then the Commander is not a good choice. If you already had the gun, I'd say go ahead and shoot it, but you'd be better off with a full-sized gun. The extra sight radius and weight will make the gun easier to shoot well. For "practical" style competition, the shorter length and lighter weight of the Commander can speed-up draws and target transitions compared to a full-sized gun, but almost everyone shoots the biggest gun that's legal, so I'd recommend a full-sized 1911 for that, too.

The shorter sight radious will put you at a slight disadvantage for bullseye competition. The difference will show up with your "mistakes" you know the ones when you don't quite have the sights aligned perfectly.
I shoot in what sounds like a similar league and shooting a commander length gun will cost me a couple points. But I really only compete against myself as the league is more fun than competative.
rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6

If you miss with the Commander, you would have missed with the full sized one, too.
And visa versie.
If you like it, get it.
The targets won't know the difference and neither should you.

45's for target (Bullseye) shooting
Thanks for the feedback guys. I am also the poster who was inquiring about the 38 Super and it looks like that's the direction to head. I also know of a full size Colt 38 Super which already has Bomar sights and two extra mags. It clearly has been fired but I doubt if I'll ever wear the thing out and it really is ready to go already. My only hesitation, other than not really knowing enough about where to look for excessive wear or "home gunsmithing," is that you folks here have pointed out that official Bullseye events, should I choose to enter them in the future, would require a 45 acp.
The Super is also an excellent deal and the price really doesn't recognize the great sights or extra mags so the money saved here could go to any pistolsmithing that the gun might need from being fired so much by the previous owner (clearly a target shooter because he also traded in another Colt which was built up with target modifications).

The difference between a Commander and full-size albeit minimal, gives a very different feel/balance (at least to me) that is way out of proportion to the actual difference in weight. For any competition, I would opt for the extra sight radius, the extra muzzle weight (where it makes the most difference), of a full-size even though I prefer my Commanders to the full-sizers.
Shoulder and look down the sights of a Kentucky rifle if you have the opportunity, and notice how the long barrel (so much weight forward) enables the sights just to hang steady in the off-hand position.

We still don't know what you do at this club level competition, or what you might expect to get into in the near and mid term future. The requirements for precision shooting at bullseye or metallic silhouette are different from the speed events like IDPA and IPSC or the numerous home grown variations.
Probably my most accurate centerfire auto is a heavily reworked .45 Combat Commander, edging out the P210 with the right ammo (Can you still get Winchester Super Match?). But that only shows up in a Ransom Rest, I shoot the full size gun better in my own hands.
A good .38 Super is a treat to shoot but there are some things you ought to know about it, assuming you haven't been told in another thread. It should have either a fairly recent (20 years, maybe) Colt barrel or an aftermarket barrel chambered for case mouth headspacing which gives substantially better accuracy. Older factory barrels depended on the semi-rim and were not nearly as consistent.
You should be aware of ammunition availability... which is not good compared to .45 or 9mm P. You would either have to handload and be good about picking up your empties or be prepared for a constant scrounging and ordering program for factory loads.

Sorry. You're right Jim. I don't know much about what events are available once I start contacting shooting clubs but I can say that I will not enter any that require movement ("Action" or whatever their various names are). Pure mastery of sight picture, trigger control, and breathing with no additional challenges to deal with, are the appealing features. So this means Bullseye (with respect to the added challenges for the rapid fire stage) or any of the various informal competitions that have the shooter is a static, standing position, shooting for score at a ringed target. I hope that helps.
Regarding the headspace issue, I might not be in good shape. The 38 Super is something called a Series 70 which I noticed was made prior to your twenty year cut off. So if it headspaces on the rim, I would have to at least be aware of this and maybe plan on an upgrade in the future.

That helps a lot.
Neither a Commander nor a middle aged .38 Super would be my first choice for precision shooting.
Frankly, you ought to start out with a good .22.
Accuracy is good to fantastic, recoil is nil, cost is moderate.

"...once I start contacting shooting clubs..." Find a club first.
"...this means Bullseye..." Yep and shooting bullseye is just as much fun without all the running around as any of the shooting games. Like Jim says, start with a .22.
Spelling and grammar count!
