San Francisco based Dot and Bo is a flash sale site that prides itself on creating a curated shopping experience for your home. Bringing the feel of a shoppable "story" with themes ranging from travel destinations to "Industrial Chic," they have a little something for everyone.
Name/Title: Dot & Bo
Launch date: January 2013
Inspiration for opening: We were frustrated with our experience shopping for furniture and wanted to create a better, more entertaining way to do it. We think that purchasing furniture should be fun, entertaining, and inspiring. And accessible! We believe everyone should have access to beautiful and modern designs to affordably craft custom interiors for their home.
Merchandise source: We get our designs and inspirations from all over the world, from Denmark to India to right here in San Francisco.
Best selling item: Our customers love our Mid-Century Slope Chairs — and we do too!
Your favorite item: Our Paddington Lounge Chair! We love it in orange, but that can be a little too bold for everyone, so we have it in a beautiful gray and also cream. It's upholstered in wool with solid walnut wood legs and so stylishly cozy.
Favorite store (other than your own): We love browsing our neighborhood shops and boutiques here in San Francisco's Mission District. We are so fortunate to live in such a creative city with so many talented artists and designers.

When I was a child, I studied Judo at Misawa Air Force Base in Northern Japan. I loved Judo. We had classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
I am half-Japanese and half-Caucasian and was always one of the smallest students in my age group. Many of my classmates where much taller and heavier than me.
As I gradually became more advanced, I did better, even with bigger opponents. In fact, I became used to randori with bigger and older opponents. In Judo, size does not matter that much.
But here is my point. In Judo, anyone can beat you and you can beat anyone. Even if you are advanced, a junior might throw you. If he throws just right, and you are not paying attention, or slip, you can quickly find yourself flat on your back. The same is true when you go with someone more advanced than you. He should be able to beat you, but you might win. The odds are in favor of the more advanced student. He might win 9 times out of 10, but there is still that one time to consider.
In Judo, you can get up after the match. In Karate, we have no such luxury. Even if we are more skilled, even if we are faster, stronger, better in every way, we have to realize that there is a margin for error. We could lose -- meaning we could be hit, kicked, stabbed, etc. And we might not be able to get back up!
As a result, we cannot afford to slip, or lose our focus or attention. We have to take every attacker 100% seriously. He might get lucky, he might be armed, he might have friends we do not see. We cannot afford to to lose even once.
Because you never know....

Havelock business leaders spent two days in the nation�s capital last week, meeting with legislators and federal officials.
Havelock business leaders spent two days in the nation�s capital last week, meeting with legislators and federal officials.
Stephanie Duncan, executive director of the Havelock Chamber of Commerce, said a presention from Gen. James F. Amos, Marine Corps commandant, spelled out the impact personnel drawdowns and cuts could have on the area.
She said Amos expected total Marine Corps personnel to fall to around 174,000, meaning North Carolina would lose about 11,000 Marines and 13,500 in military families and dependents. Duncan said that would cost the state about $494 million in salaries alone.
Duncan said she asked about the impact sequestration and defense budget cuts were having on force readiness.
�They said the Marines would do what it takes to get the job done,� she said.
She said the message she heard from legislators was that Havelock was doing what it needed to support Cherry Point and keep the base and the Fleet Readiness Center East aircraft repair facility on the minds of congressional leaders.
�I asked them what we needed to do, and they said we were doing it,� Duncan said. �We need to stay positive and get the message out.�
Duncan said she was told there simply wasn�t enough business to support a lift fan facility at FRC East to compliment one in Indiana, but that could change.
�We�re the next logical location,� she said.
Duncan said part of the trip involved the importance of the film industry in the state, with $376 million spent annually. The television show �Sleepy Hollow� recently filmed in Havelock and New Bern.
�It�s a market we�re fighting for, but I think we can win it because we have so many different landscapes in North Carolina,� she said.
Duncan said she carried concerns of local business owners about healthcare to legislators.
�There�s uncertainty, and that�s affecting businesses,� she said. �No matter what your political will is, it�s time to make a decision and move on.�
She said the Havelock contingent, which included Barb Whiteman, Brenda Wilson, Amanda Ohlensehlen and Maria Ness, was well received.
�One of the things I�m proud of is that we were told in these offices that no one comes in front of them like we do,� Duncan said. �The city of Havelock is there in the spring. We�re there in the fall, and they have said as a result of us being in front of them, we�re kind of their priority because we�re good at keeping our priorities in front of them, and I�m very proud of that.

Question: I get confused when I hear about the seven deadly sins. Does this mean there are only seven mortal sins?
— John Tucker, Harrisburg, Pa.
Answer: No, there are more than seven mortal sins. There are certain sins that, by their nature, are always sinful (ex toto genere suo), such as the intentional murdering of the innocent. There are other sins that are generally always mortal (ex genere suo), presuming sufficient knowledge and full consent of the will. But there are also innumerable other sins, which, while not grave in themselves, may become mortal due to circumstances. For example, gossiping or lying may sometimes pertain to small matters. But they could also become mortal if a person commits them knowingly and freely, and if such actions bring harm to others.
Your question likely arises out of a bit of confusion caused by the expression "the seven deadly sins." This expression refers to seven sinful drives that give rise to other sinful actions. Traditionally, these seven drives are: pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth.
To add a bit to the confusion, the seven deadly sins also go by other titles, such as the seven capital sins or the seven cardinal sins. The Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to them as the seven capital sins and says they are called "capital" because they engender other sins or vices. The word "cardinal" has the same connotation, coming from the Latin word cardines, meaning "hinge." Hence, other sins swing on the hinges of these sinful drives. The ancient Greek Fathers referred to these seven drives as logismoi (or thoughts). Still others of the Fathers referred to them as the passions.
As your question shows, confusion can arise by calling them the "deadly sins." Hence, it may be more helpful to refer to them as the seven capital sins, as does the Catechism. Nevertheless, the term seven deadly sins remains in widespread use, but it must be understood as distinct from mortal sins.
Lenten Sundays
Question: I was having a friendly debate with my brother about whether or not we must observe our Lenten penance on Sundays in Lent. He says no. But if we don't count Sundays, wouldn't what we gave up be less than 40 days?
— Arthur Graham, Sioux Falls, S.D.
Answer: As to what is required regarding Sundays, the answer depends on you. Giving up something for Lent (other than meat on Fridays and fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday) is not required, but only encouraged of the faithful. Personally, I find it difficult to give up something on an on-again-off-again basis, so I prefer to give it up for the full duration of Lent.
As far as the notion of 40 exact days, this is problematic, since if you count the actual days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday, there are actually some 44 days. And while some try to make the math work by subtracting two solemnities that often occur in Lent, etc., the ultimate fact is that we are not dealing with an exact 40 days.
Perhaps then, Lent is best seen as a period of approximately 40 days and we are advised to enter into it not as lawyers or timekeepers, but more as disciples making a journey with the Lord, from Ash Wednesday to the Easter Vigil.

Day Two at AIDS 2012: Singers, Stigma and Subways
A Video Blog
July 24, 2012
Adapted from:
Day Two of the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) roared through its first full day on Monday, and there are sights to behold. I spent some time in the exhibit hall critiquing the fashions (and the issues) of various attendees with fashion maven Jack Mackenroth; started a YouTube rivalry with inspirational singer Jamar Rogers ("The Voice"); and learned about HIV again from an expert with UK HIV organization the Terrence Higgins Trust. And, with all the talk at the conference about the devastating effects of HIV stigma, I found validation of my own HIV status in the unlikeliest of places: the Gallery Place subway station.
Coming up: the amazing Global Village and a march on Washington by advocates from around the world!
Meanwhile, my friends, please be well.

The One Maryland One Book program picks up steam this weekend, as the author of "The Cellist of Sarajevo" speaks the Baltimore Book Festival and makes other appearances around the state.
Steven Galloway's novel takes the reader to the city that was put under siege by warring factions after Yugoslavia dissolved. It's a gripping, fast-paced read, told through the eyes of several residents who are either participating in the violence, or the victims of it. Their tales are woven around that of the real-life cellist who performed outdoors amid the sniper fire and shelling that riddled the city's buildings and population.
Galloway will speak Sunday at noon at the festival -- in an event featuring a cello performance by the Peabody Conservatory -- and will visit other towns around the state next week. Another intriguing appearance is Thursday, Oct. 4, at Notre Dame University of Maryland's LeClerc Auditorium. There will be a cello performance by Todd Thiel, and if you've read the book, it promises to be a haunting effect. Tickets are required; you can register online or call 410.532.5524.
And, of course, if you can't make it to the Galloway appearances, there are lots of other One Maryland One Book discussions going on around the state.

So, we spent a few hours at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele before we continued strolling Milan. I love the bookshop on the Galleria's ground floor - their book selection was massive! What goes well with books? Coffee! By tea time, we found ourselves seated at the terrace of Zucca inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Their super good coffee glued us to the seat, spending sometime people watching!
The top floor houses the one and only seven-star hotel in continental Europe, the 'Town House Milano'.
Zucca Milano! Zucca is Italian for pumpkin.
We continue strolling the city but I received a call from Malpensa Airport, saying that the missing luggage has already arrived at the airport! So we decided to head for the airport to pick it up at 6PM.
While strolling the streets, I lost count of the amount of gelato I had chowed down! In the week prior to Milan, I had my gelato rendezvous in Mykonos. Having had so much gelato there still didn't stop me from more gelato hunting in Milan. It was the height of summer, so gelato was the hottest item in town!
Ranking top on my list of best gelato shops in Milan was Chocolat Cafe! Their ice cream were simply fantastic! Chocolat was located at Via Boccaccio 9, tucked between the Metro stations of Cardona FNM & Conciliazione.

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
World War IX - "Bath Salt Zombies" (Theme from the movie Bath Salt Zombies)
About The Video:
Hold onto your brains, it's the second single from NYC trash punks World War IX's newest EP Off The Wagon! Yep, Bath Salt Zombies (Theme From Bath Salt Zombies) is the title track to MVD's first original horror flick Bath Salt Zombies! It's a sound track bursting with such punk rock monsters as The Dwarves, The Meatmen, Antiseen, and Murder Junkies!
Band Bio:
Trash Punk. Get Drunk. Do you suffer from TMF, Too Much Fun? Rest assured Brooklyn's World War IX understands your plight, and feels your pain! Their songs are hook riddled cautionary tales that get your fists pounding and your heart pumping. "Why did I drink so many beers?" "What possessed me to pop that pill?" Quality questions for sure, but really the only thing you're going to want to know is what's their next tune going to be, and when are they going on?!!
"The best trashy punk band in NYC" - Chuck Foster, The Big Takeover Magazine
"How do you feel about vintage American punk? I'm talking about the stuff that is angry and fun at the same time. I'm talking about early Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Adrenaline O.D., Rich Kids On LSD (RKL), Flag Of Democracy (FOD), Mucky Pup, Spermbirds, Murphy's Law, et al. I'm talking about guitars plugged straight into amps with no effects, lots of gang vocals, groove for days, beats that just keep on beating. Yeah, me too. Rejoice! World War IX is here for you. For me. For us. For punk" - The Impaler Speaks
"World War IX seem to be on a whole other mission to irritate some people, satisfy the old schoolers looking for something true to the core, and most of all, do it in such a quick period of time that if you love them you want more and if you hate them, they are happy they made you hate them in less than 10 minutes." - Jeffrey Kurtis, In Crowd Zine
"Fill(s) the needed gap for nasty, sloppy, reckless abandonment that seems to have declined with the rise of the Internet. Perhaps what is most interesting is that for all the finger pointing the band does, they don't come across as holier-than-thou, if only, because they paint themselves as a bunch of wasted jerks with a sense of humor." - John Gentile, Punknews.org
"WWIX was the soundtrack to my NYC breakdown" - Michael Del Re'

I'm looking for a new design for our shopping cart software website (http://livecart.com)
The design should be clean, professional and with a Web 2.0 touch. I have prepared a wireframe that should give you an idea of the layout of things and get you started: http://livecart.com/design-wireframe.png
You should preferably use the color scheme from the logo, but I would also prefer that some brighter colors are mixed in the color scheme. It is not a problem if the logo colors need to be adjusted, so feel free to do that if it improves the design. Please note that you don't have to follow the colors that I used in the wire-frame - use colors that suit your design.In addition to the home page I would also need one content page designed. There would be very little extra work though, as the only thing that is different for content pages is the left side menu and breadcrumb. Please only design the home page for the contest.
Coding is not necessary, we'll slice the PSD ourselves.

NWSB Editor and Portland Trail Blazers blogger Bryant Knox tells us why having no picks in the 2014 NBA draft is no problem for Rip City. With LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard leading the way, PDX needs help off the bench. With guys such as Thomas Robinson, Meyers Leonard, Joel Freeland and Will Barton already in the second unit, that help must come from free agency, the draft or internal growth.

The art market has been on a tear in the past decade, providing art lovers and coldhearted investors alike the solid value and handsome returns that have deserted the stock market.
The furor for blue-chip art only increased as China, Russia and other emerging nations began minting their own millionaires and billionaires, many looking to diversify beyond their booming but unstable economies.
The future of the market now faces a test. As the autumn auction season kicks off in New York, more than $1 billion worth of art is expected to change hands in four major sales. So far, prices have been soft, raising doubts about the market's prospects. Is art losing steam as an investment? Or were buyers distracted by the hurricane, elections and the "fiscal cliff?"
Some observers have speculated the appetite is fading for artists who have anchored previous booms — Picasso, Monet, Giacometti and Chagall — in favor of post-war and contemporary work that goes on sale this week. (Shown here, the controversial Jeff Koons with Christie's chairman for post-war and contemporary art, Brett Gorvy.)

In a move to take Apple's iPad and its reign in the mobile market, Microsoft unveiled its own tablet Monday evening at a Microsoft press event in Los Angeles.
The Microsoft Surface tablet will run on Microsoft's new operating system Windows 8.
"Windows is heart and soul of Microsoft," CEO Steve Ballmer said at the event. "Much like Windows 1.0 needed the mouse, we wanted to give Windows 8 its own companion hardware innovation-a whole new family of computing devices."
The software maker, which has traditionally shyed away from manufacturing hardware, may have timed the release of its tablet to help boost demand for its new touch-friendly operating system Windows 8, which is slated to launch this Fall.

That seems to be the consensus among researchers and technology leaders who met with representatives from Amazon.com and a small handful of other vendors this week at a forum in Boston to explore the role cloud computing can play in the biomedical and health care fields.
At an invitation-only event sponsored by Harvard Medical School and Amazon Web Services, a few dozen experts convened in Boston for a day to ponder the possibilities of cloud computing in their work. Participants included health care IT leaders, academics, biomedical researchers, medical and scientific consulting firm representatives, and officials from vendors like Amazon, Oracle, and Hewlett-Packard.
Because of its elasticity, scalability, pay-as-you-go model, and other characteristics, cloud computing can potentially provide huge cost savings, flexible high-throughput, and ease of use for resource-strapped biomedical researchers who need to collect and crunch terabytes of complex information, like human genomic data, in the pursuit of medical discoveries.
In addition, Web-based servers, storage, databases, and other cloud computing infrastructure, software and services also offer an attractive platform for collaboration among medical researchers across the globe, as well as for public-health officials across the United States.
Despite the cloud's allure for heavy-duty medical research and data-intensive health-related applications, there are big hurdles standing in the way. For one, government regulations regarding privacy and security make putting medical data up in the cloud risky if there's any chance the data, for instance about genomic or health issues, could somehow be tracked back to specific patients.
Researchers and tech experts at Harvard Medical School, Partners HealthCare, and Children's Hospital Boston, for instance, are investigating or in early development of specific research and other applications that tap into the collaborative, flexible nature of the cloud.
Ken Mandl, a researcher and physician with roles at Harvard Medical School and the informatics group at Children's Hospital Boston, is involved with ongoing development of several public-health surveillance applications for Massachusetts and at the national level. The cloud could, for instance, provide a flexible platform for public-health departments to upload health data in a timely manner to assist state and national health officials in the early identification and tracking of disease outbreaks, environmental-related health problems, and other issues, said Mandl.
But many questions persist right now -- such as whether public health departments can legally allow patient data to reside on the cloud, how to standardize applications used for those purposes, whether vendors like Amazon and others would allow "their part of the cloud" to be used for public health purposes, and data security and privacy issues, Mandl said.
"Health data is always in a special category," said Mandl. "Laws around it are different, and there are many special interest groups to protect it."
At Harvard Medical School, the laboratory of personalized medicine is already using some cloud-based services, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for translational science and simulation research work.
"It's like a virtual lab," said Peter Tonellato, senior research scientist at Harvard Medical School's Center for Biomedical Informatics. The platform "fits the vision of ubiquitous access to the lab on the Web regardless of location." Using the platform, researchers can do "cool analysis" of clinical and genetic data using "clinical avatars," or simulated representations of patients.
"Clouds are here to stay," said Tonellato, who predicts that many research organizations will "transition" to private/public cloud infrastructures for elasticity and cost-efficiency in their data analysis work.
The cloud can also provide a resource for collaboration and knowledge-sharing in data-intensive research and analysis, especially in the health and biomedical arena, said Jill Mesirov, chief informatics officer at Broad Institute. Mesirov described her organization as "a genomics center on steroids," because of the multiple petabytes of genetics data the institute's ''infrastructure collects, analyzes, and archives."
The cloud provides a platform that can help "incorporate prior knowledge" among the work of biomedical researchers across the country, as well as an infrastructure that supports "dynamic scaling" for the variable demands that complex genomic data analysis requires, Mesirov said. "It's very expensive to run and maintain all that equipment. The idea of sharing this with others is compelling," she added.
For its part, Amazon in recent weeks unveiled the AWS Hosted Public Data Sets, or "Public Data Computing Initiative," which provides on the cloud a "hosted-for-free, centralized public repository" for data -- such as United States census and human genome research data -- useful to researchers, said Adam Selipsky, VP of Amazon Web Services.

This week's issue of Time Magazine brings more documentation that vegetarians live longer than their meat-chomping friends.
A six-year study of 70,000 Seventh-Day Adventists, published in the current issue of American Medical Association's prestigious Journal of Internal Medicine, found that, vegetarians and vegans have a 12 percent lower risk of death.
This is but the latest evidence linking meat consumption to killer diseases that kill 1.3 million Americans annually. It comes only two months after a discovery at the Cleveland Clinic that carnitine, contained in all meat products, is a major factor in heart failure.
Similarly, an Oxford University study of nearly 45,000 adults in last January's American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegetarians were 32 percent less likely to be suffer from heart disease than people who ate meat and fish. A Harvard University study of 37,698 men and 83,644 women, in last year's Archives of Internal Medicine, concluded that meat consumption raises the risk of total, heart and cancer mortality.
Indeed, each of us can find their own fountain of youth by adopting a meat and dairy-free diet. Keep checking back on AUM for "vegan recipes" .

Creative thoughts here please?
My 18 month old nurses nearly ALL night. She is not a gentle nurser at this point though, she digs and claws around for me, wakes up and whines/screeches, and rolls around everywhere until I pacify her with a boob. All night. It is seriously irritating at this point and neither of us are getting restful sleep.
Unfortunatly, the only way this child has learned to go to sleep is via nursing. I am a single mom of three, took the easy way, now it is biting my bum...
We have difficulty even with naps sometimes, she is a very light sleeper and has developed the super baby ability of Mom Motion Sensor. Slowly, I am getting more and more naps to go in the direction I want (a nursing to sleep session when she comes home from HeadStart that puts her in a deep enough sleep where I can get up from the couch.) Most afternoons we achieve this now, and some nights I can do the same, but she still does not sleep deep enough to transfer to the crib.
When my boyfriend stays on the weekend it is becoming much harder to cosleep with her, given her poor bed manners haha. And...for other reasons
My boys were not able to nurse. I coslept with my second and right about the same age I found we no longer made good bed mates. He transitioned to the crib with ease, but he was also a regular deep sleeper.
Something needs to be eliminated! I suppose it cannot be baby, so is it the Mama's nighttime boobs or Mama's bed that needs to go first?
I will continue to nurse her during the day, and I support cosleeping, but this current situation is not working for us!

Firstly... Don't feel like nursing to sleep was taking the easy way out! CIO you leave baby and do nothing whereas nursing for sleep you give everything for baby's sleep needs!
DS1 co-slept, nursed to sleep and was a bad sleeper for a long time. At 18 months I was miscarrying and could not handle nursing him anymore so told him no when he tried nursing in bed. I felt bad but it took only a few nights of him asking before he caught on.
DS2 is a different story... He is 14 mnths now and sounds the exact same as your toddler. It has been like having a newborn for 14 mnths! I've just started pushing back when I allow him to nurse at night... He nurses to sleep still at about 730-8 but I haven't been letting him nurse again until 2am. He has been fussy and asking but I just cuddle him and he falls asleep soon enough and hopefully will start sleeping better.
So maybe try pushing back when you'll allow nursing at night? See if that makes a difference?

My trouble with her is the second she thinks she is being denied a boob, she goes into hysterics.
Loud, long wailing and glass shattering shrieks.
I don't feel we have a temper or emotional problem, because she is only this way regarding nursing and is very leveled out on any other matter.

Re: boobs, beds, and babies
I started a new routine with my first around that same age, around 18 months. I couldn't handle the newborn waking habits for nursing all night anymore. I needed some "me" time at the end of the night as well. So I started working towards night weaning him. First step was to stop allowing him to nurse to sleep at night. Easiest way to do it was to build a new routine. I let him nurse until I knew he had a good amount, then told him "milkies are going to sleep, no more milkies, milkies go bye-bye." LOL. And then we started a new routine of laying on the pillow together and me singing to him until he fell asleep. Once he accepted that, I worked on the night time nursing. I would prepare him for what to expect before he fell asleep by saying milkies were going to sleep until it was light outside in the morning. When he woke to nurse and started crying, we would repeat the laying on the pillow and singing songs bit for a while - it was in a pain in the butt to wake up to sing to him for a few days but it didn't last long. We did that until I was just able to remind him that milkies were sleeping until it was light out when he would wake and then he would quickly fall back asleep. He eventually got it and started sleeping through the night. I never left him to CIO, the whole process took maybe 1.5-2 weeks. I wished I had done it sooner!!!
ETA: The younger/sooner something like this is done, the easier it will be! The more verbal they are it seems the harder it is to change a routine, I have learned!

Good advice from ^pp. Be prepared for crying at night and don't do it of you aren't committed.
Is there a way to put a PnP or another mattress next to yours so he can sleep there with you but not in bed with you?
I would start with the night feelings first. Wean it down to at bedtime and only once or not at all. Does she eat table food well during the day? Maybe if she gets more calories during the day it will help at night.
Sent from my iPhone using DS Forum most likely while nursing
I lift my eyes unto the hills, Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, The Maker of Heaven and Earth. And I'll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands, For You are who You are no matter where I am, And every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand, You never left my side and though my heart is torn, I will praise You in this storm

Re: boobs, beds, and babies
I highly recommend the no cry sleep solution. A large part of it for nursers and/or cosleepers, is to break bad habits. If she is used to falling asleep at the breast, nurse her until she is ALMOST asleep, then latch off. She'll root, get back on, count to 10 - try again. And again. And again. Eventually, she'll get lazy and give up. The theory is, if she know she can't sleep with it in her mouth, she won't wake for it unless she is truly hungry. It's also a good idea to scoot away from their body once they are asleep so they know they can sleep without your arm under them or their body touching yours. Anyhow, the book is really helpful with night wakings for nursing.

Re: boobs, beds, and babies
Just another perspective:
I never really used CIO for any of mine. I have had varying degrees of nursers/sleepers. From great to awful, from super needy to very independent...
If I were in your shoes I would start trying to night wean. I'd do that in conjunction with moving LO to a new bed. At 18 mos old, night weaning and independent sleeping isn't beyond her abilities, but she will need your help to adjust to it.
Remember, that there is a difference between leaving your helpless infant child alone to cry for hours, and letting your 18 mo old throw a tantrum b/c they can't have what they want (boobs). Those are two very different things. Letting her pitch her fit while you just calmly hold her and talk to her is not going to make you a bad mom or make her screwed up. It will teach her boundaries and teach her that sometimes she can't have what she wants. (And believe me, I DO understand! My 24 mo old is JUST like this - with everything - crying hysterics anytime anyone says no about anything. It's definitely no fun.)
It's totally your choice to do whatever you are most comfortable with. Letting her continue to sleep with you and continue to night nurse won't hurt her, either. Eventually her sleep habits will get better. You haven't hurt her or done her any disservice by allowing her to nurse to sleep. That makes the most sense for a tired mama! Don't beat yourself up about it.
But if you are ready to change her habits and yours, don't feel bad about that, either. You have to do what works for you, for her, and for your situation.

Try the No Cry Sleep Solution book. She has some AWESOME tips in there. I loved it. It helped me with nap time even though it mainly focuses on night time.

Game of Thrones: Season Two (US - BD RA)
Gabe returns to Westoros for more dirty dealings, witty repartee, and gory action.
The North Remembers
'You love your children. It's your one redeeming quality. That and your cheek bones.'
About two-thirds of everything you need to know about Game of Thrones season two is firmly established within this first episode. Unfortunately, this doesn't leave us with much time to re-establish the plots of the first season – there's simply too many new plots and characters to establish, something that will ail the season through and through. Consistently throughout the season there is too much stuff going on for a 'measly' ten episodes and, perhaps more damaging, no more Ned Stark character to anchor the narrative for the audience. However, the impact of this one complaint (and really the only major issue I can successfully levy against the season) is definitely lessened upon this, my second viewing. The problem isn't so much about confusion – it turns out I actually followed story threads well enough to anticipate them – it's that almost the entire season feels like a really interesting set up for another, more expressly propelled season. I haven't read the books yet, so I don't have a proper frame of reference as to how things move in novel form, where they can be afforded a more time to simmer.
Some things are easy to recall and the first half of the episode ties up the basics of where the season is heading. Everything is neatly tied together via the image of a pink (they say it's red, but it's pink) comet. Just in case we forgot, the season begins by reminding us that newly crowned child king Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) is an absolute shit. Then, just in case that reminder was too bleak, the writers also remind us Joffrey's uncle, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), is in a position to stir up his special brand of charming trouble. After catching up with the rest of our first season's cast, we're given our first glimpse of the four new major character groupings – the people of Dragonstone. Here we meet Lord Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), his trusted advisor/sorceress/lover Melisandre (Carice van Houten), and his most trusted bannerman, Davos (Liam Cunningham). Again, there's no shortage of drama and the new characters are immediately compelling, but the 'tossing the audience into the deep end' approach backfires a bit because the new group's internal dramas don't quite hold weight yet. The episode's best scene belongs to Cersei (Lena Headey), who shows Lord Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish (Aidan Gillen) what for when he attempts to shock her with his knowledge of her son's parentage. She replies with a display of power that is both vulgar and sarcastic, silencing his now empty threat.
The Night Lands
'I hope you enjoy The Wall. I found it surprisingly beautiful... in a brutal, horribly uncomfortable sort of way'
Almost everything not established in the first episode is covered here. Aside from a mere glimpse at the very end of episode one, Arya Stark's (Maisie Williams) story is not resumed until now. Her role as an undercover boy on 'his' way to The Wall begins to take shape. This plot also gives weight to Gendry (Joe Dempsie), the surviving bastard heir that Ned Stark discovered in season one. Until now, he's just been 'that guy' that could monkey up the Lannister's plans – now he's not only turned into a fully-fleshed character, but he's slowly built up into a charming person the audience can root for. Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), who was more or less indiscernible from the rest of the supporting cast, is sent home to Iron Islands after being raised by the Starks and quickly makes an ass out of himself. This subplot serves a strong purpose by season's end, but grows wearisome via sniveling on Theon's part and constant, petty cruelty via his father. This introduction to new characters works much more smoothly than the Dragonstone introduction due largely to Theon's presence (despite what I just said about him being unmemorable).
What is Dead May Never Die
'Cut off his manhood, and feed it to the goats.'
'There are no goats, halfman…'
'Well, make do!'
The chief purpose of episode three is to introduce us to the ins and outs of the third new character grouping – the Stormlands. Technically, this is a new environment, but feels familiar, because first season regulars Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony) and his lover Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones) are sort of in charge here. Renly's new beard, Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer), and a giant, Joan of Arc-like Amazon named Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) are introduced and both add quite a bit to the season's complex character quilt without overtaking too much of the storyline. This generally well-structured episode also breaks down the continuing trials of Arya's caravan to The Wall into a still, sweet scene where her season one savior, Yoren (Francis Magee), tells her his life story and a follow-up scene where the group is taken captive…but not before she frees this season's break-out character, Jaqen (Tom Wlaschiha), from his bondage. The best scene in the episode is among the series' finest. In montage, Tyrion tells three slightly different stories of his plans to marry off his niece, Princess Myrcella (Aimee Richardson), to three of his King's Landings rivals – Grand Maester Pycelle (Julian Glover), Lord Varys (Conleth Hill), and Littlefinger – in an effort to uncover which one of them is a traitor (the guilty parties will tell these false plans to his sister Cersei).
Garden of Bones
'Careful now, we don't want to get blood all over your pretty white cloak.'
Episode four is a plot-heavy gore-fest that opens with one of the series' less graceful battle cover-ups (things just fade to black), but the battle isn't exactly the point of the story just yet – it is the cost of the war and its effect on Robb Stark (Richard Madden). Robb briefly meets Talisa (Oona Chaplin), a field nurse and character that will come (somewhat ineffectively) into play later. Arya's newly captured 'platoon' settles in another place we've never been before – Harrenhal, where they sit, waiting to be tortured for information no one has. This eventually leads Arya to a position as the cupbearer for Lord Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) and the most unexpectedly gratifying pairing of the season. After an entire episode away from the desert, we return and find Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and her people finally arriving at the walls of Qarth, the final of our four new major character groupings. The Qarths introduce a nice bit of mystery to the plot and a nice bit of diversity to the production design with their more Middle Eastern-inspired motifs. The more incidental plot points this episode take place at King's Landing, where Tyrion tries his best to take control of Joffrey's evil by sending him some ladies of the evening to release his tension. This all takes a turn for the worse, however, when Joffrey doesn't only figure out what Tyrion is doing, but reveals himself as the pure and simple sadist he is. The worst of it is left to our imaginations as the writers risk over-stating exactly how much Joffrey sucks.
The Ghost of Harrenhal
'Schemes and plots are the same things…'
The previous episode's horrorshow demon birth leads us directly into the season's first surprise death – Renly Baratheon. He is killed. Bam. Just like that. Then his killer disappears in a literal puff of smoke and poor bereaved Brienne is blamed. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) helps her escape, leading to another of the season's beloved pairings. Baratheon's death and the strong presence of Liam Cunningham as the season's Ned Stark surrogate Davos almost makes the Stannis' subplot as interesting to follow as the other side of the upcoming battle, but not quite. As Tyrion's vague plans for the war begin to take shape (wildfire!) he realizes that, despite his better efforts, he's being blamed for the ineptitudes surrounding Joffrey's failure. Theon Greyjoy's story is still frustrating, but, as he takes to the sea, his first mate Dagmer Cleftjaw (Ralph Ineson) proposes a plan that will finally lead the character to somewhere interesting. More immediately interesting is the continuingly narratively detached tales of Daenerys and the Dothraki, who now settle within the adorned walls of Qarth. Qarth's beauty (which does look a bit… Star Trek: The Next Generation) reveals a palpably seedy underbelly of deceit and betrayal that the audience and Daenerys' advisor Ser Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) can smell a mile away. This episode's real meat is in Harrenhal, where Arya interacts with Tywin and that breakout character, Jaqen H'ghar, who offers to kill three men for her, no questions asked.
The Old Gods and the New
'We've had vicious kings and we've had idiot kings, but I don't know if we've ever been cursed a vicious idiot king!'
And so the shit begins to hit the fan as Theon takes an under-protected Winterfell from little Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright). He's still a pathetic character, but his utter betrayal finally makes him a productive contributor and paints Winterfell a relevant part of the equation for the first time the entire season. Osha's (Natalia Tena) escape plan for Bran is quite satisfying as well. And, in a strange, only possible in the Game of Thrones universe kind of way, the betrayal finally makes Theon a sympathetic character. The world of Game of Thrones continues to grow via Jon Snow and the Night's Watch journeys beyond The Wall. Separated from his friends and hunting Wildings, Snow is our connection to an entire Westeros culture. Huge suspense enters the picture when Littlefinger visits Tywin. His presence threatens to reveal Arya's secret and, because his character plays everything so close to the vest, we're not sure if he's seen her or not. Arya's scenes with Tywin are all brimming with such suspense, but they're more than that – they're a stage for two of the show's best actors to interact. Who would've thought when the show began that little Maisie Williams would be able to hold her own alongside Charles Dance. This episode's most intense sequence is one that dares us to pity the royal family back in King's Landing. A riot breaks out as the Lannister party crosses the town square and the citizens start tearing people limb from limb. Literally. In the chaos, Sansa is almost raped and killed, but is rescued by 'The Hound' (Rory McCann), beginning a strange relationship between the two characters. Meanwhile, safe inside the castle, Tyrion does what everyone watching the series has wanted to do since it started and slaps Joffrey across the face.
A Man Without Honor
'It's hard to put a leash on a dog once you've put a crown on its head.'
As shocking plots chug along in Winterfell, Arya and Tywin continue having stunningly charming discussions about the history of Westeros and steal the thunder from everyone else in this perverse, romance-laden episode. The last episode ended badly for Daenerys, who had her friends murdered and her baby dragons stolen. This sudden loss of leverage leaves her at the mercy of Xaro Xhoan Daxos (Nonso Anozie), her supposed suitor. Meanwhile, her more apparent suitor, Ser Jorah, returns and sets forth to prove his loyalty. Jon Snow's pairing with Wilding Ygritte (Rose Leslie) isn't quite as advantageous as hoped this season, but it does lead to some very amusing interactions and, hopefully, something more satisfying, come season three (I haven't read the books, don't spoil it for me!). At least this burgeoning 'romance' is more interesting than Robb's attempts at beguiling Talisa. Back at King's Landing, Sansa has her first period. She tries to cover it up with assistance from Shae (Sibel Kekilli). After failing (The Hound discovers it), she's approached by Cersei for a rather depressing discussion concerning her sad future as Joffrey's future child-bearer. The real tragedy is that Cersei is honestly opening up to her daughter-in-law. The return of Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who hadn't appeared since the season opener, is also reason to celebrate.
The Prince of Winterfell
'You're a great warrior. I saw the bodies above your gates. Which one gave you the tougher fight – the six year old or the cripple?'
Theon's betrayal done, he's now given a chance to realize his wrongheaded efforts were for naught. Again, his butchery (which we soon realize isn't as brutal as initially presented) makes him pitiable, rather than contemptible, and saves the character. His sister, Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan), is also given a breakout acting sequence when she informs him of his failure. The rest of the episode is flecked mostly with amusing banter between favoured pairings. After Robb takes his latest, snooze-worthy romantic nature walk with Talisa, he is informed that his mother has gone against him and sent Jaime Lannister out with Brienne in hopes of trading him for her own brood. The following scene of Jaime attempting to bait her into a fight is amusing enough to feed an entire episode. Back at King's Landing, Tyrion bickers with his guardian/friend/servant Bronn (Jerome Flynn) while preparing for the season's big battle, then bickers less productively with his sister about the need to put Joffrey on the front lines. It's good to see Tyrion at a disadvantage for a change – we don't want him to be invincible, after all (and we need to be prepared for some horrible outcomes for him by season's end). But it's also quite a relief when Cersei's supposed upper hand is revealed to be mostly empty. In Harrenhal, Arya is furious when Lord Tywin leaves to defend King's Landing before she can name him to Jaqen for slaughter. But Arya is shrewd in her anger and sets Jaqen in a situation where he must help her and her friends escape when she names him as third on the kill list. Meanwhile, we're reminded that Stannis Baratheon is still bearing down on King's Landing (these characters simply aren't given enough screen-time for us to care about them, but there aren't an additional two or three episodes here to make up the time) and Jon Snow finds himself on a chain-gang while his comrades find themselves on the road to the season's final shock.
'There are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them!'
There's a lot of great stuff crammed into the season's final episode, but, in many ways, Blackwater is the season's climax. It's also the only episode in the series' history to remain at one location and the only time the producers have extended the budget to actually show one of the massive battles they so cleverly have to hide in every other case. In other words, this is a gimmick episode. The gimmick extends gloriously to the choice of writer – none other than George R. R. Martin himself – who does not disappoint with his sharp dialogue, smart thematic choices, and tight structural integrity. The gimmick also extends to the choice of director – Neil Marshall, who had already created massive, dynamic action on a limited budget for films, like Dog Soldiers, Doomsday, and, probably most pertinent, Centurion. The obvious praise should be levied at the quality of the action spectacle (wildfire!), which rouses genuine goose bumps, but the character beats are what works after the initial sting of the battle fades. The scenes inside the castle between Cersei and Sansa are a perfectly chilling counterpoint to the slaughter outside.
Valar Morghulis
'We're all liars here. But every one of us is better than you.'
The season finale begins with a series of bummers. Tyrion gets basically no credit for his place in the Battle of Blackwater and finds himself in a worse place than he was at the beginning of the series. The screws are drilled a bit tighter as unworthy types have glory bestowed upon them and Joffrey takes on Lady Margaery as his new betrothed, leaving Sansa in the horrible spot of being a prisoner without a political purpose. The sorrow is thankfully dulled by the return of plots outside of King's Landing. Jaime and Brienne continue their journey across Westeros. When Brienne defends her prisoner and slays three men in the blink of an eye, Jaime's face light up with what can only be described as surprising respect. The story crawls a bit as the Baratheon/Melisandre plot is resituated for a third season, but Theon gets a proper, pathetic send-off, Arya continues on her hero's journey with a special token in her pocket, the other two young Starks get a great final scene with a loved one, and goings-on beyond The Wall leave the season off with its most enduring, bone-chilling image – an image so cool I want to buy a Chevy van just to have something proper to airbrush it upon. Oh, and Robb gets married, or something. However, with little more than a brief mention in two episodes, the finale really belongs to Daenerys, who ends the season on an eerie, surrealistic trip through the House of the Undying. Following the previous episode's bombast, the cinematic sleight of hand is refreshing and the emotional resonance of Daenerys' metaphysical pilgrimage is exactly the kind of stuff Game of Thrones does better than anything else on television.
Last season's Blu-ray release looked more or less perfect, thanks to the very 'filmic' use of Arri Alexa digital HD and the fact that the episodes were spread over enough discs to counteract any compression problems. The overall look was mostly natural with varying locations marked by specific palettes. This season looks generally similar to season one, but features more locations and these locations require further colour-coding. For example, Winterfell is gritty and de-saturated, the area beyond The Wall is cold and blue, King's Landing is warm and red, and Qarth is even warmer and yellow. The directors and cinematographers also make less of an attempt to make the show appear to have been shot 35mm, opting to embrace the clarity of the digital format (occasionally to the detriment of the computer generated effects), but the crisp image is rarely otherwise worth complaining about. The outdoor locations shots (I assume they are outdoor; if these are sets, I am impressed) still appear quite lush and natural. These are probably my favourite sequences, at least for the sake of this transfer. The image is more lifelike and the layers of texture and colour really pop. The bright, hyper-clean, and super-busy images from Qarth display similar qualities, but the lack of contrast makes them a little less impressive overall. The really dark episodes, particularly Blackwater, are still plenty dark, but are much more discernable than the muddy HD versions I originally watched on HBOGo, where black and brown blended into soup and highlights were lost in the fine pixelization. The blueness of certain sequences prove to be the biggest problem, as it bleeds out into the blacks, dulling them and damaging the compositions' delicate contrasts. These bits also display the transfer's only blocking noise and keep it from a perfect score.
We're officially at a point where there's really no discerning a big budget theatrical sound mix from a comparatively nominally-budgeted television series mix. This vast, complex, and expansive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix exceeds even the high expectations set by the previous season's release. The clear and natural dialogue is consistently supported by a wide range of ambient noises that make the world of Westeros spring to life. Much of the sound design is so delightfully pitched that it's easy to miss altogether, but those taking the time will notice a bevy of stereo and surround enhancements fluttering amid all but the absolute driest dialogue scenes. The biggest, most theatrical and aggressive aural moments come out of episode nine, Blackwater, and its dynamically pulsing walls of war action. The dynamic part is key. There's plenty of terrifying background ambience that rattles through the rear channels as the battle rages outside the castle wall. Without this richer, deeper set sound and the steady increase of noise as the battle grows more furious, the sharper and more expressly loud sound is given all the more punch. The synthesized, sci-fi sound of the exploding wildfire is another particularly brilliant touch. The House of the Undying sequences also stand apart with a diverse collection of spooky, multi-channel goings-on, completed with a lot of cool, screechy dragon sounds. Ramin Djawadi's music is well-mixed among the softer and noisier bits and given a proper chance to shine during the warm, rich opening/closing credits.
The extras begin as they did on the season one collection – with a series of commentaries. The line-up is as follows (there is no commentary on episode five).
Episode One, The North Remembers:
- Executive Producers/Writers David Benioff & D.B. Weiss
Episode Two, The Night Lands:
- Actors Alfie Allen & Gemma Whelan
Episode Three, What is Dead May Never Die:
- Writer Bryan Cogman & Director Alik Sakharov
- Actors Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, and Isaac Hempstead Wright
Episode Four, Garden of Bones:
- Actors Carice Van Houten & Liam Cunningham
Episode Six, The Old Gods and The New:
- Actors Kit Harrington & Rose Leslie and Co-Executive Producer/Writer Vanessa Taylor
Episode Seven, A Man without Honor:
- Executive Producers/Writers David Benioff & D.B. Weiss
Episode Eight, The Prince of Winterfell:
- Actors Nikolaj Coster-Waldau & Michelle Fairley
Episode Nine, Blackwater:
- Co-Executive Producer/Author George R.R. Martin
- Director Neil Marshall and Actors Peter Dinklage & Lena Headey
Episode Ten, Valar Morchulis:
- VFX Supervisors Rainer Gombos & Steve Kullbak
- Co-Executive Producer/Director Alan Taylor and Actress Emilia Clarke
The commentaries are augmented with in-depth, in-episode pop-up guides to help provide character, location, and relevant historical backgrounds for the lost viewer.
Disc one also features a series of character profiles (15:40, HD) for Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, and Theon Greyjoy. These include interviews with the cast & crew, along with brief sequences from throughout the season.
All other extras are delegated to disc five, beginning with War of the Five Kings, an interactive guide to the season. Here, viewers are free to click their way through text concerning characters, kingdoms and mythology, and maps tracking journeys and battle plans. Histories & Lore is another interactive guide, this time featuring a collection of slightly animated 'motion-comic' illustrations covering the back-stories behind the important characters/families, specifically for those of us that haven't read the books yet. The first two stories are especially interesting, because they re-tell the tales of the same two rebellions, only from different characters' points of view.
Creating the Battle of Blackwater Bay (31:20, HD) features Benioff, Weiss, Martin, producer Frank Doelger, director Neil Marshall, art director Frank Marsh, production designer Gemma Jackson, construction manager Tom Martin, cinematographer Sam McCurdy, VFX supervisor Rainer Gombos, Stuart Brisdon and Steve Kullback, stunt designer Paul Herbert, weapons master Tommy Dunne, prosthetics supervisor Conner O'Sullivan, make-up supervisor Paul Engelen, horsemaster Camilla Narprous, and cast members discussing the production of the season's most ambitious episode. Subject matter includes scripting, financing, hiring Marshall, set construction, production design, previz, visual effects, physical effects, make-up effects, stunts, training extras, and horse wrangling. Game of Thrones: Inner Circle (24:00, HD) is a roundtable discussion on the second season experience with actors Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Michelle Fairley, and Liam Cunningham, moderated by Benioff and Weiss. The Religions of Westeros (7:30, HD) finishes things off with Martin, Benioff, Weiss further discussing the religions throughout the series.
Game of Thrones risks over-extended itself with too many plotlines and not enough screen time to cover everything, but this second view-through verifies that, for the most part, the show's writers and producers know exactly what they're doing. I enjoyed myself even more re-watching everything. The gorgeous 1080p video, DTS-HD MA audio, and pile of extras certainly helped. The only thing really keeping the first season Blu-ray collection a head above this one is the extensive, in-episode Anatomy of an Episode experience, which is sadly missing here. Otherwise, I've got no complaints. Well, except one or two about there not being third season episodes available for me to watch this very minute.

It may seem like a budgetary reason because of the medium of television. But actually the books more often than not would steer away from the climactic moments of the story, only to rejoin the characters in the aftermath of a battle or argument.
I felt the second book lacked momentum and its own story until right at the very end. Loved the final battle when Tyrion gets to kick some butt. But it does all feel like set up for rather next season/book.
Personally I am holding off buying the blu ray sets until the whole show is wrapped up and finished and I can get the entire story presented in a dragon egg or something.

I love this show and season 2 was as great as season one. They're splitting up the third book into two seasons.

WASHINGTON — Only days before the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman was due to leave Norfolk, Va., for the Persian Gulf this month, the Pentagon abruptly canceled the deployment, pleading poverty.
With cuts in the federal budget scheduled to take effect Friday, Pentagon officials said they feared that sending the carrier on a six-month cruise to the Middle East would empty their operations accounts.
President Obama on Tuesday alluded to the decision to hold back the Truman. "The threat of these cuts has forced the Navy to cancel the deployment," he said in a speech in southeastern Virginia, a few miles from the Norfolk naval base. He sought to lay the responsibility for the imminent cuts on Congress, adding that "only Congress has the power to pass a law that stops these damaging cuts and replaces them" with more sensible alternatives.
But on the same day that the Defense Department cuts are to begin, one of the Navy's newest vessels, the littoral combat ship Freedom, will set sail for Singapore on a long-planned, eight-month deployment, part of the Obama administration's emphasis on rebuilding the U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region, officials said.
