With Damon still locked up and growing physically weaker, Jeremy and Vicki have gotten back together. Meanwhile, the school decides to hold a car wash to raise funds after the death of Mr. Tanner. At the car wash, Bonnie starts a fire using her special powers. She is horrified and confused so she goes to her grandmother for help. Elena and Stefan continue to have trust issues as he is still unwilling to tell Elena his secret. But later, Elena hears a shocking story about Stefan and Damon from a stranger who recognizes Stefan... from a vampire attack that happened almost 50 years ago. In a old news video, Elena can clearly see Stefan, who looks exactly like he does now. Meanwhile, Damon uses his powers to try to summon Caroline to let him out, and he kills Zach when he tries to stop her. Elsewhere, Logan and Aunt Jenna go out on a date, while it is revealed that Logan is part of a secret society involving the mayor, Sheriff Forbes, and most of the town officials whom are aware of the Salvator brothers existence. Logan tries to gain access to Jenna's house so he can steal the Gilbert watch as part of the society's plans for stopping both Stefan and Damon.

great for my 15 month old
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
My 15 month old daughter uses this helmet while she is in the bike trailer. It was hard to find a helmet that would fit her and this one does (because of the boa tightening feature). It's simple, it fits, and she doesn't seem to mind wearing it. She's worn it for 2+ hours at a time. My only critique is that it would be better with some additional padding. Hasn't caused any issues, but the padding just seems a little lightweight.

Ford's Pinto really wasn't a miserable car to drive, thanks to its responsive rack-and-pinion steering and a gutsy overhead cam engine, but it became the poster car for Detroit's arrogance after Mother Jones published the story "Pinto Madness," which accused Ford of knowingly selling a car that could explode in a rear-impact accident.
Under pressure, Ford issued a recall and installed protective plastic gas tank shields. The Pinto remained in production until 1980, and more than 3 million were sold, but it never outlived its notoriety.
Still, like the Edsel and Corvair before it, the Pinto has a fan base, and those people will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the car's introduction this year. Their marquee event will be a long-distance drive called The Pinto Stampede – a five-day, 1,660-mile trek across seven states from Denver, Colorado, to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the site of the Carlisle Ford Nationals. The Stampede begins on Sunday, May 29, and concludes on Thursday, June 2, in Carlisle, where the compact cars will lead a parade through the Pennsylvania town. Along the route, drivers in The Pinto Stampede will visit Fort Reilly, Kansas, for Memorial Day services, take a lap around the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, circle the St. Louis Arch, take a lap of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and meet other Pinto owners at the Carlisle Ford Nationals.
The car show will feature a display of Pintos in all shapes and sizes, including rally-racing and drag-racing cars, coupes, hatchbacks and wagons.
"Together, we will take in sights along the way, make lasting friendships and share in the odd looks from other drivers who suddenly come across a convoy of Pintos," said Norman Bagi, "Trail Boss" of The Pinto Stampede. "The Pinto's reputation is unlike that of any other car. It has been the brunt of jokes and unfairly attacked using exaggerated statistics. This is a celebration of a beloved little car."
There will be a charity aspect to the Stampede: All proceeds from sponsorships and other fundraising efforts will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that helps soldiers returning home with disabilities regain normal lives.
"We want to take the opportunity to do something meaningful while having fun, so we included a charitable component to the Stampede," Bagi said. "Wounded Warriors was a logical choice. Drivers will solicit sponsors 'per mile' completed along the route. We hope to raise $10,000 for the charity."

I believe Ford had a stupid attack. As I recall, the evidence showed they could have done it right the first time for very little money. The car itself was OK for what it was to be, economy first. And, of course, GM did their usual stunt with the Corvair — getting it right, then canceling it.
I'm not sure the Corvair was saveable, sales had plunged so far, and the car's reputation so damaged, it was probably too late. Then, it was competing against GM's own–cheaper–Camaro, and the new wave of Japanese imports, as well as things like the BMW 2002, were waiting in the wings. A tough market segment for an oddball car.
Now the Fiero, that's a different story.
The Corvair had a 10-model year run – in three different versions – the early 1960-64, the late model 1965-1969 and the Forward Control (trucks and vans) 1961-1965. Pretty good. The reason why it didn't do so well in 1967 through 1969 is that Chevrolet had dumped a ton of money into the development of Corvair. They didn't want to put any more into it. It was the only modern American air-cooled car sold for the mass market. The development money that would have gone for a third generation Corvair went into Camaro. That car was designed to complete against the Mustang. While you can upgrade a Corvair engine to turn out over 200 hp, after a while, there is no replacement for displacement and the V/8 engine was the answer to what people wanted – more power.
The demise of the Fiero was the fault of the insurance industry – too expensive car insurance for a two seater car. MR2 suffered too. While Pontiac put horsepower into the Fiero in 1985, they got the suspension right in 1988. They marketed these cars in Southern California and the Denver area. However, the insurance costs were more than most people were willing to pay. I have both Corvairs and a 1986 Fiero I bought new. I like them both – lots of fun! However, the only way I would buy a Pinto, is if I had a V/8 in it and a 1/2-inch thick steel plate to protect the gas tank.
Does anyone remember the spoof WW2 movie with Val Kilmer where the German staff car just touched the back of the pinto ever so lightly with the sound of a bell?
The Fiero drove no better than a Pinto (and yes I have drove both ) and they were alot more money. My Uncle put more than one motor in his Fiero while I put over a 100,000 on my Pinto . That must have been hard for the Fiero to drive that 4 miles to the Hardromatic Plant .He Parked his Fiero after the third motor went south with less than 50,000 on the car .
"Does anyone remember the spoof WW2 movie with Val Kilmer where the German staff car just touched the back of the pinto ever so lightly with the sound of a bell?"
Yes, I do. It was called Top Secret & it was the product of the same guys that did the original Airplane! An underrated comedy.
Many cars in the late 60's and early 70's had similarly trunk floor mounted gas tanks like the Pinto. I personally witnessed an early Mazda burst into flames beside me when rear-ended in traffic. There were only a handful of incidents with the Pinto, but the media ran with it . . . even today it lives.
Contrast that to GM's side mounted fuel tanks on the CK pickups . . . many thousands burst into flames in crashes many people died. But its all but forgotten.
Many Pinto's are still driving down the road today, can't say that for many of the other small cars of the era, especially the imports. The 2.3 is a bullet-proof engine and was used for decades.
I once drove past a C/K in flames after a crash…I remember. In fact, I believe I once received a $1,000 voucher as part of the class-action suit (I had an '84).
Yep, I got the voucher to as I had a 1980 Silverado.
I sold Fords in the late '70s and the Pinto was pretty respectable compared to the other Detroit offerings. The automatic was less than fun to drive but the manual cars were not bad at all.
Agreed. the automatics were horrid, drove like they were filled with cottage cheese. But, yeah, Pintos with standard transmissions were kind of fun to drive, and the interior comforts were fairly respectable for the time.
Muscle cars & sports cars are great, but these are the real cars that real people drove. Unfortunately, for those of us in the Northeast, most of these disintegrated into a pile of iron oxide long ago.
The Corvair was also competing with the Chevy II/Nova.
A dreadful car. It would have been almost OK if the gas tank were the only problem, but the 1600 cc engine (Ford of Britain) was too small and the car drove badly, you couldn't get the 2000 cc Ford of Germany engine, and the 2300 cc engine wiped cams with depressing regularity. They also rusted. And despite the 4-speed, the car did NOT want to run at about 35 miles an hour- second was wound out, third would lug. What a thing. Still, it was better than a Vega.
Loved the old Pintos!!! An old girl friend's father was a small Wisconsin town repair shop owner. He insisted that his two daughters drove them. They were easy to fix. Had another friend that put a 400 in one. The rubbers didn't last long.
Everybody beats up Ford over the Pinto. Toyota had the same exploding-gas-tank issue with the '65-'70 Toyota Corona, and except for a brief mention in the Chicago Tribune back in the early '80's, I never would have known about it. Not a peep from Nader or any other safety wonks. But Toyota was the fair-haired child, even back then.
I had a '70 Corona, and it was Junk. Parts broke on that car that have never failed on any American (or British) car I ever owned.
I don't know if Toyota was so much the 'Fair Haired Child' back then, so much as it was *way* smaller than the US makers, and off the radar screen of the public before the OPEC oil embargo.
The Pinto may have been a not miserable car to drive, but having been a passenger in one from Jacksonville to Orlando Florida, I can tell you they were miserable to ride in, even for a kid.
In the spring of 70 a friend brought over his new Corolla to show it to me. He insisted that I drive it. It was to this day the worst attempt at a car that I have ever driven. At the time I had just sold my 65 Mustang GT and had a 67 Mercury. I asked him what he paid for it, I think about 1200 dollars or so. But what a joke, the 51 Ford custom I had in hi-school drove better. At the time gas was 42 cents a gallon.
Yup, I had a '71 Corolla for about 6 months back in 1975. It had about 50K on it when the rod bearings started to rattle. What a miserable excuse for a car that thing was.
One of our family cars when I was a teenager was a '74 Mustang II (another maligned car) with a 2300cc and 4 speed. I thought it was great fun to drive, and did not lack for power. Maybe it had different gearing than a Pinto – not sure. The manual rack & pinion steering was great. But rust was in abundance. By 1980 the quarter panels were shot.
And let's not forget that the killed by rust Mustang II's (nee' Pinto) begot the independent front suspension conversion for all those street rods…
Wasn't the problem with Ford, that they figured that the lawsuits (and resulting deaths/horrible-injuries) would be cheaper to pay than to redesign the gas tank?
My dad had a couple of Pintos for company cars and I always thought they were pretty cool. He had a PHONE (!) in them even, and this was the mid-late-70's! An actual house-looking phone, that was crazy; in a Pinto! Not exactly a Rolls Royce where you'd expect to see one.
A little hard to believe Scott . . . since the problem was solved by the 3rd model year and never appeared again. Remeber there were only a handfull of incidents.
Of course there is one car company that hides RECALLS, like steering shaft separation . . . going through lots of law-suits today . . . its Toyota. And of course the air-bag thing in the Hondas . . . secret warranty anyone?
Ahhh yes, the Pinto! It made me lots of $$$$ as a flat rate tech. back in the late 70's early 80's with the piston scuff recall. on the 2300 engine, It involved removing and disasembling the engine, replacing the connecting rods and pistons. On a good day I could get two of them done 🙂 The fuel tank recall also involved replacing the filler neck with a longer one, some of the cars here in Ohio were so rusty we had the replace the whole quarter panel because there was not enough metal left to attach the filler neck to LOL
Had an '80 2-door sport wagon , 4-speed. wish I STILL had it as it was easy on gas and fun to drive
The interior was an insult to the human anatomy. What designer could come up with such a design when the company already was building world class econo-boxes in Europe (ur-Escort). They reinvented the wheel and it was square!
I was actually sitting in the back seat of a Pinto Runabout when we were involved in a chain-reaction accident on Rt 84 in CT, a divided highway. We were hit from behind and then pushed into the car in front of us, 7 cars in all. The Pinto not only held up very well, there was no fire, there were no injuries at all for any of us in the car. There were major injuries for people in the other cars. I would proudly drive a Pinto today if I could find a Squire or a glass-hatch Runabout in pristine condition, hopefully in Avocado green or Chestnut brown!
The Pinto was not a ground breaking small car by any means but it served its purpose well. It was essentially the 1970's Model T. The Pinto was cheap to buy, inexpensive to maintain and easy to fix yourself. I hear so many people say, "Why don't they build simple, basic transportation people can afford." When you point out a car like the Pinto they respond, "What an ugly little piece of crap!" Three million people couldn't have been too wrong.
Owned a used Pinto & commuted for a year with it, rust, exploding tank and all. . Also drove a few for the company I worked for. Loved them.
before I became a hardcore Dodge fan I had a 2.8 liter Pinto wagon. it was okay for power and economy but once behind the wheel of a classic mopar any interest in Ford or GM evaporated.
Our family had the first Pinto in our area – and I had to use it to pick up my three brothers after school – 4 young boys in the car and it would still get rubber in all 4 gears! Lowly 1600 … hah!
It's one of the many things to love about the Hobby. Everybody has their thing, so to speak, and it's terrific. I drove a Green Station Wagon for several months in California Freeway traffic and while it was fine at freeway speeds the gas mileage was terrible and there was the shadow of rear end collisions hanging about the interior.
I worked at a Ford dealership in 1972. They dealer used to use the Pinto as rental cars and there was one of them a real freak that was way faster than the others. You could catch third gear rubber with that thing. Don't know why it was so fast but I wish I had that car now. Later on I had a "Deluxe" pinto wagon with wood decals on the side. Alas it rusted out in short order here on the salty winter roads of the CT. What the Pinto needed and is common now a days was more power decent disc brakes and a five speed but just like the sorted out last year of the corvair and the well sorted out last year of the Fiero it went the way of most short term Detroit models.
hell, i had a mustang II, which was pinto based, that i bought out of a carport where it had been sitting for three years. oil change, new battery, and some fresh gas, and i drove it home. broke the timing belt after 6 months, and i sold it for what i paid for it. ford built the best american cars in the 70, i drive a 73 ranchero today
The Ford Pinto was not the disaster it was made out to be. I had a close frind in 1971 who had a 4 cylinder 2000c model. The car was great on gas, fun to drive, a 4-speed stick andeasy to park. I recall a camping trip from NY to MA Cape Cod, three HS grads on their way to college in the fall. The european car and Mercury's Capri 2000cc was better to look at and handled better with MacPherson struts, Koni's and Semperit Radials. I know I had one bought new in senior year for a paltry $1900. The car went 100k with a water pump replacement, one clutch plate and three sets of tires and a Stebro Exhaust! I loved that car. Gas was $.37 for Getty Premium and that Ford Capri took me off to college and two passengers for a 300 mile trip for less than $4 bucks! It got 35 miles to the gallon and you could get rubber quick shifting for a chirp from 2nd to 3rd! It too had a gas tank mounted high behind the rear seat with a gas neck under the RH rear quarter window. But then knowing that made you more aware when someone was tailgaiting. Every car has a flaw. These two were priced for a HS kid to actually afford and drive!
I owned a 1974 Pinto. It was a miserable car, the worst I've ever owned. My mother considered buying one and took my grandmother (born in 1881) for a ride in a demo. When asked what she thought of it, my grandmother said "Well, I've ridden in buckboard wagons before."
Now this is a FABULOUS post…LOL…
Dad was given a freebee that had north of 100 K on it , drove it for two years at 90 miles plus a day to work.A 70 runabout with the 1600 cc and new Firestone 500'S on it.We called it the rustabout.
I find it interesting that of all the interesting, classic cars written about on the Hemmings blog, a quick note about the Pinto gets more responses more quickly than most other subjects.
Hurry, Hemmings, say the Plymouth Reliant was boxy! You'll get a buhzillion hits by Tuesday!
I had three Pintos in the 1970's and ran SCCA TSD rallies in them with some success. Ford actually had some support money for competitors back in those days. They were great little cars that took lots of abuse. My favorite was the first one, a 1971 sedan with the 2000 overhead cam engine, disc brakes, stick shift, otherwise a base car. It was quicker than the Datsun 510 that it replaced and less prone to breaking. The two later cars had the 2.3 engine which was o.k. but the German made was the best. Glad to see there is a fan base for these cars. I still have a picture of my '73 on a rally blasting across a stream with water splashing higher than the roof on both sides. Only down side was the rubber cam belt which tended to break and when it did you were stuck.

and chevy's Vega?? how about an aluminum block with an iron head!! Brilliant!! Had a 73 Pinto wagon, 2.3l auto.. horrid dog, cound not accelerate.. a well ridin 10 speed could beat it off the line!! My '65 Rambler American !! Now that is a car!!
peace 'n stuff..
Commemorating and collecting Pintos?? Am I the only to ask "Why"?
I had a 1971 Runabout, that was the most fun car I have ever had. 1600 cc enging 4 speed. Loved that car, on the freeway was getting close 45mpg and that was when gas was under 50 cents a gallon I'm still looking for another pinto type car
The real reason that the Pinto's gas tank problem was such an important story was, indeed, because Ford had identified the problem before the car was launched and did not fix it. IIRC, there were two reasons:
1.) Fixing it would mean that the car could not fit two golf bags in the cargo area.
2.) The cost to fix it, while minuscule on a per-car basis, was a lot of money when multiplied by the millions of cars they expected to produce. $5 per car is $30Million if you sell 6 million cars.
Then they did made it worse: They calculated the expected cost to settle lawsuits related to the expected thousands of deaths, horrific burn cases, and such and figured it would be cheaper to allow all of that to happen and just settle the cases than to fix it and risk the car's commercial success by making the cargo area less capacious.
Truly an important lesson in the dangers of group-think and how business ethics are not just socially valuable, but economically valuable, as that grossly unethical decision cost the company far more money than it would have if they had just done the right thing.
I also scratch my head at the decision to design and build this car instead of just importing the Escort, which is a far superior car by nearly any measure.
My recollection is the same as Tom R.'s. Ford knew of the problem, but decided not to fix it because it was more "cost effective" to just settle the handful of lawsuits at the time.
I guarantee that wouldn't happen today, not in a world where a lady gets a $5 million civil award for hot McDonalds coffee that she spilled in her own lap.
It really does make one question as to which set of ethics is correct. As reprehensible as Ford was in the early 70's, it is my opinion that society today is way too litigious.
Greetings All,
My feelings on the Pinto… It ran, it was inexpensive and there were definitely worse cars to drive.
Regarding Ford's and other companies bad decisions and the McDonald's lawsuit.
Ford was stupid but like it or not there is a price on a human life, if you don't agree look at your insurance policy, but then again if you don't agree you wouldn't have one.
McDonalds……. nothing angers me more than knowing McDonald's CHOSE to settle out of court rather than take the bull by the horn's and litigate and make the case for contributory negligence with regards to the victim.
She CHOSE to put the coffee in her lap, between her legs which is beyond stupid, but then has the audacity to say the coffeeis too hot.
Yeah, my gasoline is too flammable, I should sue.
Try to remember that anytime you read about attorneys settling out of court, many times with a non-disclosure clause, that isn't LAW, it's MEDIATION or ARBITRATION!!!!!!!!!
The problem with this method is it clogs up the courts and does nothing to establish law. Plus if the alleged act was something that might affect many people, the non-disclosure act keeps those involved from ever talking about what happened to them.
My rant is over!
Good Health to All, Ross59
"Truly an important lesson in the dangers of group-think and how business ethics are not just socially valuable"
You mean like Toyota TODAY!!!!
I was in the USAF, stationed in Albuquerque, NM. Bought a used 1976 Pinto Wagon with a 2.8 V-6 automatic. Removed all the smog controls from the car and hit the road. It was fast in the freeway. No Cats, duals w/glass pak, electric fuel pump, bump up the timing with a low restriction air cleaner. I was flying on the freeway. Put a 302 cu. in with a C-4. It was a shoe in with a Kit. Found a Maverick V-8 rear end, and a mazda radiator. Ran the wagon during the summer with no heat problem. Got pulled over by the state trooper doing 85 mph.. I said to the trooper, "Pinto's don't do 85 mph!" So he let me go. He didn't know I had a V-8, F60x14 front, and a M60x14 Formula tires fitted inside the rear fender wells. Got rid of the wagon and bought the first 4×4 ranger truck in '83. I was the second person in the U.S. to jacked up the ranger by fly-in-hi out of phoenix, AZ.
I now owned 2 Ford Fairmonts with a 351 windsor (racing) and a 302 from a mustang LX for cruising. My hospice patients that grew up in the 50's and 60's who experienced the racing era, re-lived that time by riding in my cars. This last time cruise brought back smiles and memories. They felt the seat in the pants horse power and torque for the last time. Hospice in St. Pete, FL
I never owned a Pinto,but I had a Fairmont wagon for several years,with a 2.3 engine,four speed and a 3.08 axle. I loved that car-it got 25-28mpg at 75 mph,with cruise control set,had pretty good power for the size car it was,hauled what I needed to haul,went where I wanted to go,drove very well,and was about the most reliable car I can remember ever owning. I really can't say anything bad about the 2.3 Liter engine-mine was great! I DID replace the timing belt soon after I got the car,in the parking lot of the local grocery store-it's THAT easy to work on. There's a lot of guys running Ford 2.3's in their race cars around here.
I had a 79 non hatchback that I drove from Louisvile, KY to San Antonio with my wife and mother-in-law. Everything was fine until I heard a loud schreeching noise in the back. Finally figured out it was my mother-in-law!
Yet another really good post.
Drove over 186,000 miles on my '76 Pinto wagon. When I sold it ($400) it was still going strong (strong is a relative term). An unfairly maligned car IMHO. Great value for what it was…an econobox.
I learned to drive in a 72 Pinto with a A/T it was faster in reverse than forward. Funniest damn thing was it had a Herbie (the love bug ) moment. We were sitting at a red light a guy pulls up in a Camaro with it making all kinds of noise. He's sitting there gunning the motor trying to embarrass us and the light turns green ,my Mom matted the thing to the floor peeled rubber the first and only time it ever did it and absolutely blew this guys doors off. He was so pissed he ran the red light at the next block so he wouldn't get embarrassed again by our lowly Pinto.
I also had a 78 Mercury Bobcat with a 4 speed and that was quick. With studded snow tires went everywhere.
Dreadful, the lot of them. My boyfriend bought a new one in 78, after his his mk 1 rusted and fell apart. My 59 Custom 300 went on and on and on, and went to Whitehorse and continued after I went to Britian, and my D reg, a 66 Ford Zephyr,also went on and on, for 7 years.
Dreadful,the lot of them. My boyfriend bought a new one in 78,after his Mk 1, (they aren't really called that like Escorts) rusted and fell apart. My Custom 300 went on and on,and went to Whitehorse and continued after I went to Britain, and my D reg 66 Ford Zephyr also went on and on for 7 years.
After NBC faked the Chevy Truck gas tank problems I always wondered if a news organization faked the Pinto issue.
I had a '72 and my mother had a '77, both hatchbacks.
Other thanrust through of paper thin sheet metal, they were pretty good cars. I heard there was a problem with upper engine lubrication (Cams wore out from no oil).
I owned car lots in the 80s and early 90's. I went out of my way to buy Pintos….must have bought and sold hundreds. I used to set them right on the point (the corner position for you non car dealers) and always painted a BIG sign on the windshield…"Hasn't Exploded Yet!!" or "Fire Sale" or "Get It While It's Hot" You get the idea. Since I could buy them so cheaply, I could sell them at low cost and still make a nice healthy profit. I put hundreds of people into good, economical transportation. The best part? Not one of them ever exploded. I drove a Pinto almost every day because I never would buy a car without driving it…so I tested maybe a couple of thousand of them over the years. Never exploded on me either. (:-))
Ford US should have just built the English Cortina same car but much better sorted instead of trying to improve it and coming up with the Pinto
I had a 59 Zodiac until I totalled it. 6 Cylinder, 47 h.p. and I could get the front wheels of the ground by bouncing it with the clutch and accelerator. Only thing we did to make it start all the time was put an electric fuel pump in.
My brother David had a '71. He failed to kill it. A true testament to the Pinto's durability.
I drove a Pinto for about two hundred miles, most uncomfortable seat, my back still hurts.
I had a 71 Pinto I bought from a coworker while stationed in Germany and I loved it. It handled fine, I could park it anywhere, and good mileage. It was also very roomy and even the back seat was comfortable on a long drive. I shipped it home and drove it two more years.
Pinto, Vega, Monza, Fairmont, Granada, Mustang II, Reliant, Maverick/Comet, Aries, Omni… all better off not remembered.
I bought a new Pinto wagon in 1973. Worst car I have ever owned. Manual transmission and underpowered to the point where it was a suicidal manuever to enter a freeway or try and pass anything on a two lane road. Distributer shaft wore out at about 50,000 mi., started to rust through the doors at about 30,000 mi., muffler fell off around 55,000 mi., timing belt broke when my wife was on the highway at 27,000mi. Ford had a promotion at the time that for another penny over the price of the car you got a coaster wagon with those nice wooden sides. The Pinto is long gone. I still have the coaster wagon.
I had a 72 Grabber Green pinto I bought used. Sometimes used it to pull stuff up onto high rise apartment buildings (sand & cement bags). Wife got hit in the back but did not explode T.G. She had to climb over the console because the driver door only opened from the outside. Then we bought a 74 loaded with everything (Stereo,Sunroof, tinted window, but forgot to order carpets. Died with 100,000 miles.
I'm 6'2″ and they were both fun comfortable cars. Should have kept one and rodded it out.
The stats about the cost ratio of paying off law suits vs the cost of human life was done for the frigging government at the Fed's request, not in relation to the Pinto.
But the story is so much better the way Mother Jones painted it.
And BTW: one of the first incidents involved was some stupid driver who had left their gas cap on toip of the car and was going slowly down a secondary road looking for the bloody thing when a Chevy Van [full size] rammed it at 45 MPH. [Source: "Reckless Homicide, Ford's Pinto Trial" Copyright 1980 and not some hatchet job by Mother Jones to paint corporations as big bad meanies who don't care about social ethics.]
Stats proved that Pintos were no more prone to "exploding" in rear end crashes than the Vega, Gremlin Colt or other small car.
But the exploding Pinto story just won't die. Not the real story about the dumb bunny driving the car looking for a gas cap creating a safety hazard and being rear ended by a much larger vehicle getting the Darwin Award, but that those Pintos are a symbol of industry's inhumanity. Give me a break.
Same with those side saddle gas tanks: GM had used them for upwards of 15 years or more.The total road miles on that fleet in the trillions over that time and the actual risk on the order of nothing until Dateline faked the explosions with bottle rockets and tried to make a case out of one incident to make their story.
They did the same with the GM door locks on their full size cars being unsafe. Do the math and the chances of a freak accident creating the same sensational story won't even make the chart.
But the pictures are perfect for the sort of ambush journalism we've seen in relation to these incidents.
The one they did about the girl who killed her fiance in her Cavalier was the most blatant: "If I had known the Cavalier was so unsafe I never would have bought it"… close up , big tear rolling down the cheek cut and print. The story however is less than quaint: She and her boy friend were going to buy her engagement ring. She blew through a red left turn arrow and was T-boned by an SUV and her boyfriend was killed. But it was the car's fault, right ????
Media whores like 60 Minutes and dateline need sensationalism to sell their line of crap and they've been doing hit pieces for years that become urban legends. I am sure people still want to believe that Audis still blast out of control on their own, regardless of what the facts say.
…and i got a whole $200 trade-in value for it KABOOM and never bought another American car…

Wired Magazine mentioned it first; 2014 will be the year of addressable TV advertising.
Trials of addressable ads are already taking place in the US. Pay-per-view cable channel Starz, working with cable operator DirecTV, has been using data about which subscribers use video-on-demand, to pitch ads for its shows. More importantly, it also uses the data to avoid streaming ads to existing Starz subscribers, to prevent preaching to the converted. The result is a 49 per cent jump in sales, compared to a control group, from households shown the targeted ads. HBO has been using a similar system to promote Game of Thrones.
Wired Magazine also just predicted that Facebook will own all mobile advertising, Why? How? Because they own a social network and have a wealth of data on consumer preferences and a predictive analytics team that can match ads with what consumers are most likely to click on.
Google and other outfits operate similar mobile ad networks, but Facebook is unique in its ability to target ads based on user demographics, interests, location, and activities involving everything from internet searches to online shopping. That's the benefit of running a social network.
In this new ecosystem of advertising, its not enough just to own a vast source of data about consumer preferences, the other half of the equation, understanding the myriad of nuances for how best to utilize that data and serve up the best ad, is equally if not more important.
Take for example, the famous case of Target retail stores, who predicted a woman's pregnancy before she knew it herself. This New York Times Article is one of the best stories out there at describing the trials and tribulations of addressable advertising, and just how Target retail stores, and their big data analytics team has discovered many of the secrets towards deploying effective advertising.
As Pole's computers crawled through the data, he was able to identify about 25 products that, when analyzed together, allowed him to assign each shopper a "pregnancy prediction" score. More important, he could also estimate her due date to within a small window, so Target could send coupons timed to very specific stages of her pregnancy.
We are at the forefront of a whole new industry; Big Data, or more precisely, "Information Science". Addressable TV advertising is just one niche of the big data revolution. Harvard Magazine does an excellent job of covering Big Data and how it will shape the future for most industries.
In marketing, familiar uses of big data include "recommendation engines" like those used by companies such as Netflix and Amazon to make purchase suggestions based on the prior interests of one customer as compared to millions of others.
But as of today, most advertising dollars continues to be spent on commercials for the big screen TV at home, and increasingly on ads for the second screen; including mobile phones, tablets, and other connected devices. And with this shift, there is a growing need to provide targeted ads for OTT and VOD content.
A recent deal has been struck between BlackArrow, a leading Dynamic Ad Insertion technology company, and Nielson, the leading television research, analytics and ratings firm, to begin offering on-demand commercial ratings (ODCR).
That's where BlackArrow comes into play. By allowing the operator to switch out ads in VOD content on the fly, BlackArrow makes every older streaming episode an environment for the same ads that are now airing in CBS' live broadcasts. As Nielsen's ODCR scheme is designed to measure VOD deliveries that occur beyond the three-day window, those once-neglected views are now just as valuable as live ratings.
This Newsweek article provides excellent coverage about the BlackArrow Nielsen ODCR partnership and what it means for TV operators and consumers.
The Nielsen-BlackArrow pact comes as the networks increasingly look for ways to help wean viewers off the DVR, which makes commercial-skipping as easy as holding down a button while staring off into space. A far more advertiser-friendly service, VOD promises to add incremental value to linear TV buys. At the same time, viewers needn't worry about running out of memory or forgetting to record a favorite show.
BlackArrow CEO Dean Denhart discusses this new landscape of addressable TV advertising with Fox News at the LA Cable TV Show.
Television advertising will perhaps reign supreme for quite some time, with relevant addressable targeted TV advertising coming to the forefront as one of the most sought-after technologies for both live as well as pre-recorded TV content. This is indeed the year of addressable TV advertising.

"Monday Night Football" exposed the great 49ers fadeout as a fraud. Once the lights stayed on at Candlestick, the 49ers undid Pittsburgh, as well as the theory that they had tapped out their energy and creativity for 2011.
The NFL doesn't hold many statement games, outside of the Super Bowl. For the 49ers, though, this one qualified.
They rediscovered the machine-like efficiency and turnover-generating alacrity that had carried them out of eight seasons in the NFL wilderness. After losing two of their past three games, they mauled one of the NFL's elite teams, 20-3, and proved that the franchise's renaissance is very real.
They did it in front of a national audience and a home crowd deeply infiltrated by yellow-towel-waving troops. They also held onto the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs, which the Saints were poised to grab with a Steelers win.
Above all, the 49ers made a critical point to themselves. An established team wouldn't have been susceptible to doubt after a lull in a great season, but the 49ers are new to this winning business, and a loss to Pittsburgh easily could have dinged their confidence.
The outcome of this game should have the opposite effect. This was their most complete and impressive performance of the season. They clearly had learned something from the losses to Baltimore and Arizona. Both teams blitzed mercilessly, but the experience ultimately might have pushed the 49ers into a higher realm.
"We were feeling pretty good about ourselves going into Baltimore," left tackle Joe Staley said. "It gave us a wake-up call."
That night, a prime-time audience saw the Ravens sack Alex Smith nine times. Over the past three games, the 49ers had surrendered 18 sacks. On Monday night, they gave up none. Against the best pass defense in the NFL, Smith threw for 187 yards, above the average of 179.1 for previous Pittsburgh opponents.
James Harrison's one-game suspension might have eased the task of protecting the quarterback, but he has missed four other games this year, and the Steelers won all of them.
Besides, the 49ers also had to play without their defensive fulcrum, injured linebacker Patrick Willis. Unlike Harrison, Willis could join his teammates on the field, and he delivered his ritual pregame talk, an assignment he had handed off when he couldn't play in Arizona on Dec. 11.
The defense remained thoroughly dominant, intercepting Ben Roethlisberger three times. The quarterback's injured ankle restricted him, preventing pocket escapes. The 49ers didn't aim to flush him out that often. On one interception, Roethlisberger had a luxurious 10 seconds to get rid of the ball, and he still failed to find one of his men.
Only a game earlier, the defense had submitted to John Skelton, the Cardinals' backup, who has an extremely limited repertoire. Now, they were dominating a quarterback who has won two Super Bowls, and is known for playing well even when hurt.
The offense elevated for the Steelers. It didn't soar, but it rarely does. Nothing explains the 2011 team's place in 49ers history quite as well as the fact that a placekicker broke Jerry Rice's single-season scoring record – and did it with two games left.
This is who the 49ers are. This is what San Francisco sports are today – defensive teams with offenses that create excruciating anxiety. Smith played it safe through most of the game, and continued not to commit turnovers. He threw out of bounds on a pass that Michael Crabtree might have caught in the end zone. It was like watching Aubrey Huff ground out to second.
Smith has led this team to an 11-3 record, and a division title. He thrived when he could go to his comfort zone-target tight end Vernon Davis. Smith stayed under control even when the excessive presence of Pittsburgh fans did its best to disrupt his game. Eventually, the 49ers' fans reclaimed their stadium, chanting for their defense with an unprecedented fervor.
This 49ers team will head into the playoffs with no limitations, except the daunting prospect of traveling to Green Bay. Even then, it's impossible to predict what might happen to them in the postseason.
Check that. After PG&E's disastrous performance, it's a safe bet the 49ers won't be getting a night game.

See the Oath Keepers Declaration of Orders We Will Not Obey for details.
Interestingly, they say that they will not "conduct warrantless searches", though those in law enforcement do so every day. They declare that "THEY will not obey unconstitutional orders". Otherwise, they did not explicitly state, since they refer to their "oaths", that they will "defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic", though that is not their primary purpose, only incidental. Nowhere do they make that their purpose. Only not to obey unconstitutional orders. This needs to be emphasized as this is where the rubber meets the road.

Why I Work Out in Race Shirts
I was wearing my shirt from the Nike Human Race 10K when I tried the 30/60/90 class last night. I was feeling pretty nervous about being the new kid in the class at my new gym, but then I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and smiled. At myself. (Awkward?)
Sure, I'd never done this class. But I ran a marathon two weeks ago. I usually run at least a race a month. If I could suffer through 4 hours and 59 minutes of a marathon in intense heat, I can make it through some silly class at the gym.
I wear race shirts to work out in because…
They're usually sweat-wicking. They're usually pretty damn nice. Nike especially makes awesome tech tees. My only gripe is that they pill kinda easily.
They bring back great memories. I have finished every single race I have started, so even the races that didn't go that well I can still look back at and be proud that I finished.
I feel badass. The longer the distance I had to run, the more badass I feel. (Duh.) Or, the faster I ran, the more badass I feel. Sadly, the times I've been the most most proud of have come with cotton t-shirts, not tech tees, though.
They give me confidence. Sometimes, I am working out and I feel slow or sluggish or like every limb weighs 50 pounds. I remind myself of what I've done and what I can do.
Camraderie. I love seeing someone out running in the same t-shirt as me. In my head, we smile knowingly at each other, but in reality, I just curl up the sides of my lips in what is probably a pretty awkward little smile. All the same, I still love seeing someone in the same race shirt.
Competition: If the distance on my race short is longer than the distance on your race shirt, I win.
[Shirts from: Top Row: Nike Human Race, Army Ten-Miler, Chicago Marathon!
Bottom Row: Disney Half-Marathon, NYC Marathon Tune-Up, National Press Club 2007 5k—my second 5K ever!]

Prepare to alter alot of diapers!
Your package of joy will certainly require around 6000 nappy modifications before graduating to undies. That's a great deal of dirty nappies and, relying on which ones you use, either a great deal of waste or a lot of cleaning!
Then there's the poo variable– that nappy has actually got ta be up to the task. Things we provide for love.
A stitch in time saves 9 … minutes of sleep
Obtaining a nappy plan in place prior to baby occurs will certainly conserve you time, cash as well as energy, and will certainly have a large influence on your ecological impact. Having said that, it's never ever too late to change nappy teams or mix it up a little bit depending on your worry for the setting versus your issue for your sanity … as well as your demand for rest.
First of all, allow's be familiar with nappies.
Excellent ol' disposables. With really just one style, they soak up moisture promptly to prevent leakages and 'lock it in' to keep your bub reasonably completely dry; are simple as well as quick to secure; stay closed throughout use; and fit different shapes and dimensions.
Reusable contemporary cloth nappies
Modern cloth nappies (MCNs) are coming to be more popular and also, to be clear, we're not chatting the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the new whiz-bang variation showcasing a waterproof cover, leak-proof elasticised leg holes as well as absorbent extra padding and also lining.
The different styles
There are greater than 200 brands– most of which are made by work-at-home mums who sell them online on stores like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant external layer stitched with an absorbing inner to create the nappy– they can take a bit to completely dry.
All-in-twos, also called snap-in-ones, contain a lined waterproof external layer and absorbing inner layers, which "break in" with press studs. They can be uncoupled for laundering, so they dry faster compared to all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a water resistant external layer sewn together with a soft internal lining, which forms the shell. Between these 2 layers there's a pocket for the absorbing inserts. These are eliminated for washing then changed, which can be a little bit fiddly yet on the bonus side they dry swiftly.
Antique terry-towelling square nappies are also still available. They can take a little method to fold as well as fit right, but they are a less costly reusable alternative than MCNs, and also modern fasteners suggest you don't even need to utilize safety and security pins.
I can see there are advantages to both– how do I select in Essex Vermont?
There are a variety of factors to consider, so let's have a look at them.
The upfront price of recyclable nappies is rather high, but in the future it's potentially cheaper than disposables– lowering in price tremendously with every child.
Towel nappies do call for a little bit much more job, and also might be a discomfort when you're out. Similar to a worn out bub.
High quality, well-fitting nappies– whether cloth or disposable– will maintain infant dry, and also will not cause nappy breakout.
Environmental impact
Non reusable nappies really don't have the most effective green credibility, yet there are choices to minimize their influence:
Some brand names are eco-friendly, though problems in land fill make this destruction hard to occur.
Some have compostable or recyclable product packaging.
Getting locally-made nappies, rather than imported, saves money on transportation carbon cost.
Despite the ecological expenses of material manufacturing as well as nappy laundering, cloth nappies that are dry-pailed as well as mainly line-dried still appeared in advance of disposables.
Disposables come in various dimensions to match your growing bundle-that's- now-turning-into-a-handful, as well as ultimately you can removal into pull-up trousers from a few of the exact same brand names.
MCNs are available in fixed dimensions, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has added fastenings for adjusting the nappy as your infant expands.
Fixed-size nappies implies acquiring brand-new collections as your baby expands larger, so it could cost more. On the other hand, if you're having more than one youngster, you'll use the grown out of ones once again.
You'll just require one set of OSFM nappies, yet their longer usage suggests even more deterioration, and also they may just last with one child's infancy.
Diaper Products
The type of material used affects drying out time. All-natural fibres generally take longer to dry than synthetics, as well as you'll intend to make sure you have sufficient nappies to obtain via a couple of days of damp weather if you do not have a clothes dryer.
Paper or textile nappy linings make your washing life easier by maintaining solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorptive products (covering linings, pads as well as boosters) consist of bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated fabric (PUL) or lanolised woollen typically made use of for covers– if you're interested in that kind of point.
I want a decision– which nappy is ideal?
For environmental as well as economic reasons, you cannot transcend MCNs.
For ease-of-use and also ease, disposables are the method to go.
Certainly it doesn't need to be one or the various other: you might use towel nappies in the house throughout the day, as well as disposables when out and also about, disappearing, during the night, at daycare, as well as during extended periods of rainfall when you 'd rather not use the clothes dryer.
If you're unclear:
Get a single nappy of each kind that stimulates your rate of interest.
Some MCN firms offer trial loads with examples of the various styles.
Work with a trial pack from a nappy collection, a solution used by nappy firms and also community teams: search the internet for 'modern-day towel nappy collection' to find one near you.
How do I know I've selected the best nappy?
Whatever you've selected, here's the list for an excellent nappy:
No leaking around the legs.
No fluid permeating with the cover.
Not as well tight or too loosened around hips and legs.
No rubbing or chafing from the nappy or fasteners around the legs or hips.
Child's skin really feels sensibly completely dry when the wet nappy is removed.
The nappy holds enough fluid to be useful (ie you don't need to alter too often).
Infant can removal legs easily and also, at later stages, crawl and also walk without being bothered by the nappy.
One last thing, are multiple-use nappies as much grunt work as they appear?
There's a very easy five-step method called dry pailing, which followers say make easy work of heavy soils.
Make use of flushable liners to capture solids.
Separate the components (cover and also extra padding) of the wet nappies, or if they're all-in-ones skip in advance to step 3.
Wash in chilly water if required.

On the Move: Future of U.S. rental market concerns relo professionals
Published 4:42 pm, Thursday, November 7, 2013
There is a lot of talk in the relocation industry these days around the future of the U.S. rental market and the relocation policies, or the lack thereof that companies are implementing for those transferring employees who choose to rent instead of purchasing in their new location.
The latest relocation statistics released by Worldwide ERC (Employee Relocation Council), which are based on 2012 results, show that approximately 38 percent of transferees are homeowners and 62 percent of transferees are renters.
The transferee of today doesn't necessarily want to own a home, opting instead to rent a property. Renting has become a very attractive option for many within the highly mobile workforce who want to remain flexible and able to move again without the potential constraints of homeownership.
Thus, today's relocation renter is often a renter by choice and not by necessity.
This subject was the focus of a panel discussion at last month's Worldwide ERC Global Workforce Symposium in Dallas.
Moderated by Jeff Rowe, vice president of destination services at CORT, the presenters were Douglass S. Culkin, president & CEO, National Apartment Association; Russ Haynie, director, consulting services at Brookfield Global Relocation Services; and Brad Williams, regional vice president of Lincoln Property Co.
The fact that the majority of today's transferees are renters, is a flipped dynamic for the relocation industry, according to Rowe. He said that based on the latest Worldwide ERC survey, only 3 percent of the companies out there actually have a relocation policy for renters, while another 15 percent develop policies on the fly.
When comparing the cost to relocate a renter as opposed to the cost to relocate a homeowner, there is a great divide. Based on the latest Worldwide ERC statistics, the cost to relocate a current U.S. employee who is a homeowner is $91,528, while the cost to relocate a current U.S. employee who is a renter is $24,714.
Relocation trends show that more renters are moving, but that a low number of relocation rental policies have been developed. Meanwhile, relocation costs are being reduced for companies since more of the relocating employee population is renting instead of purchasing.
Some of the top trends impacting U.S. renters are low inventory, increasing prices, employer focus on cost containment, and diversifying assignment types and durations.
Culkin spoke about the state of the U.S. rental market, which he said is very healthy these days. This is certainly the case in Houston, where rental properties are flying off the market almost as fast as they are listed.
An important thing for transferees to keep in mind, whether they are moving to Houston or anywhere that has an inventory shortage of available properties, is that they have to be prepared to write a contract and put down a deposit right away on a property in order to secure it.
Otherwise if they wait and try to come back to it in the next day or so, it will most likely be gone.
Transferees also need to be aware that in Houston and in similar real estate markets, that negotiations and concessions in favor of the renter are basically non-existent.
Inventory shortages continue to be an area of concern for transferees moving into many markets across the U.S. According to Rowe, occupancy rates for rental properties around the country are currently running at about 95 percent.
He added that it is not just the A properties, but also the B and C properties that are very hot right now. He used Houston as an example, saying, "They can't build units fast enough to fill that market."
To meet the needs today's renter, Williams showcased some of the typical rental communities that are being developed, which offer an impressive array of amenities and technological conveniences.
Haynie addressed the need for more companies to put rental policies in place in response to the growing number of transferees who are now renters. He said that one of the key issues for a lot of corporations has to do with their ability to enhance renter benefits while trying to balance the objectives of cost containment.
Haynie said that one of the strongest trends in rental policies today is the adoption of the pre-decision stage counseling and resources.
He said that this is a great opportunity for service providers to get in front of the renter and understand their concerns with housing, as well as their broader concerns.

The Coppa Italia Final Fiorentina-Napoli is tonight and Giuseppe Rossi's agent admits "he doesn't know if he'll play."
It kicks off at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to decide the trophy over 90 minutes, 120 or penalties.
Rossi is in the squad and could make his first appearance on the field since damaging knee ligaments on January 5.
"He doesn't know if he'll play in the Final yet," agent Federico Pastorello told Radio Kiss Kiss.
"He resumed work with the group some time ago, but it's not just about the physical condition, as after an injury like this the psychological aspect is also important.
"The decisions are down to Vincenzo Montella. I do think it is right to leave room to those who brought Fiorentina into the Final."
Juan Cuadrado is suspended with Mario Gomez out of action, so there are precious few forward alternatives left for Fiorentina.
Meanwhile, Pastorello was also asked about Rossi's future.
"Giuseppe has another three years on his contract with Fiorentina. They waited all this time and I think there can be no doubts on his future in Florence."
Probable formations:
Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Savic, Pasqual; Aquilani, Pizarro, Vargas; BorjaValero; Joaquin, Ilicic
Napoli: Reina; Henrique, Albiol, Fernandez, Ghoulam; Inler, Behrami; Callejon, Hamsik, Mertens; Higuain

The Libertines
Diehard Libertines fans dared not dream the band, who split in 2004, would ever tour again let alone release new material.
But Anthems For Doomed Youth prove Pete Doherty, Carl Barât, John Hassall and Gary Powell had put their difference behind them. Coming on the back of live shows in front of 65,000 people in London's Hyde Park and three nights at Alexandra Palace, it was a dream come true for the many thousands of music fans who rightly hail them as the most important band of their generation.
A huge open-air gig in Newcastle this summer showed they've still got the ability to command awe on the big stage.
Forged in mosquito-infested huts in Thailand where Barât and Doherty went to put their inspiring collaboration back together, Anthems For Doomed Youth harbours songs of primal energy and uplift bitter betrayal and loss and of sun-lit love and redemption.
Our Sunday headliners have a track record of bringing joyful musical chaos to London and we are sure their OnBlackheath set will be no different.

Plum's Explanation
20 comments:
Nice to see you again, Plum! You've been missed.ReplyDelete
I do sympathise Plum but it could be worse. Minnie the surrogate dachshund has a slipped disc and on vet's orders has spent the whole week in a crate. Vets seems to think that sounds better than cage, but I'm not sure. Anyway she's a lot better and won't need an operation so hooray for that. And really, there's no need for explanation. Everything we get from you in a privilege. love, JamesReplyDelete
You don't need to do anything new or unusual Plum, we just love your thoughts on life, love and chicken treats.ReplyDelete
Dear Plum,ReplyDelete
You really must have a firm word with Emma, she should realize by now that everything you do is unusual!
Allegra the kitten loves water and insists on sitting in the bathroom sink whenever My Mum runs the tap, but I remembered how much you love water for some inexplicable reason and have decided that even though she is a strange creature that she may not be quite the horror that I first thought.
I do hope you have been able to do some swimming in the lake or a fountain now that the weather is getting warmer, and that we will of more of your adventures soon.
Love, Gracie and the Gruesome Twosome
P.S. Meaghan still thinks Allegra is a pain in the neck, if only she had my saintly patience and understanding!
Dear Plum,ReplyDelete
WELCOME BACK!! As you can see we are all happy to see you... and Emma too! Personally, Giorgi and I are enthralled with your every move - even one where you're just sitting there looking cute and then standing on Emma's belly. We are just about to start your book on the Path to Perfection - because we think you're PERFECT!
Love from,
Ellie and Giorgi
You have been greatly missed. Glad to see you. Much love, Vicki, Tulip, and Tucker ❤❤❤❤❤ReplyDelete
Dear Plum, we miss you so much and always look forward to reading something new from you, no matter what it is.ReplyDelete
Love from ❤❤❤
Pixel and Miriam
Dear Plum, I wish we could live with you. And my sister Sarah loves puppies too.ReplyDelete
Love Christina
Dear Plum, you look so much like my little dog that makes me feel like you are relatives hihihihi...but we live in Brazil, so that is something very impossible.ReplyDelete
Kisses and God bless you
I've been really missing you Plum. Clara xxReplyDelete
Pardon me Plum, but anyone who used to read my blog 'Miss Pringle and Octavia' might like to know part 3 is now starting at misspringleandoctavia.blogspot.com And the first two episodes are there again too. Love you, Plum.ReplyDelete
James x
Forgive me again Plum, I can't work this machine and the only title it will accept for my story is octaviathesuperdogel.blogspot.com So that it will have to be.ReplyDelete
Your blog is absolutely adorable. I love it every time I come to it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!ReplyDelete
I really wish you would write more about Plum's adventures. I love that dog! I was looking at books at a Brazilian online bookshop and I found out that Plum is called "Ameixa" in Portuguese! (Pronounced, roughly, "ah-mesh-uh.")ReplyDelete
Oh come on Plum! do something... we miss you :-(ReplyDelete
Plum - are you ever coming back? We miss you dearly!ReplyDelete
Loved your new artwork on Twitter. Miss your posts here. Hope everything is alright with you both.ReplyDelete
How did you keep cool in the hot summer weather. I bet there was watered involved. Best wishes
Plum we miss you so much... Are you all right?ReplyDelete
Sorry, sorry, sorry we've been so long. Thank you for your lovely messages. Xxxxx Plum.ReplyDelete
My husband and i have been absolutely excited that Chris managed to finish up his web research while using the ideas he came across from your web pages. It is now and again perplexing to just happen to be making a gift of steps which a number of people may have been selling. Therefore we fully grasp we need the website owner to appreciate because of that. The entire explanations you made, the simple website menu, the relationships you help to foster - it's most fantastic, and it's letting our son and our family feel that the idea is cool, which is very serious. Thanks for all the pieces! Dog WalkerReplyDelete

Relactation? Is it possible??
For you to understand where I am, I am going to have to tell you where we have been.......
Camille was born August 8, 2006..She was a born breastfeeder (like her brother) We had a normal breastfeeding relationship until she was 3 weeks old when her heel-prick test came back abnormal...I was told to immediently stop breastfeeding because if she had galactosemia the breastmilk would cause brain damage. Over the course of the next two months she had three more heel-prick tests that came back abnormal. During this time I was pumping religiously and my baby was spitting up formula...Finally, the doctor ordered a Gault test (measures liver enzyme functions). At the time this test was given I devoled a very severe breast infection..The doctor recommended I be "dried up" and told me Camille defiantly had the galoctosemia and what was the point anymore? So I allowed myself to be dried up. Two weeks later we get the test results, She does NOT have galactosemia in ANY form. At that time, my doctor informed me that the heel-prick test has a high false-positive rate (wish he would have told me that in the first place) After about a month of FF, I started trying to relactate...
My little girl is seven months and does not want to nurse at all on an empty breast. I have been pumping with my PIS but with no luck...I feel like if something was coming out, she would want to nurse...
So here is my questions:
Is it realistic to keep trying to relactate? Is there anything I can take to help me?
Should I just chaulk it up to a lost cause and plan to do it with baby#3?
I just feel so sad that we were denied that special realationship and that my daughter has to eat inferior food...
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
I am in the process of relactating after a 6 month absence. My reasons are health as my 18 month old has had a cold all winter and I'm tired of it. I began manual pumping about 3 weeks ago and rented a Symphony pump on Monday. I also started taking fenugreek and blessed thistle and began taking domperidone on Monday. I am seeing fantastic results. I really believe within a few weeks that I will be producing enough milk to give her a boost.
I would suggest if really want to try it, do some research. Here are some sites:
http://www.mamadearest.ca/en/info/ne...ssing-milk.htm (lots of information)
There are different protocols for relactating. I would suggest looking into. It is an undertaking, but to me, it will be so very much worth it. We've been away from the breast about the same time. All bodies respond differently. PM me if you would like to talk more.
Good luck!
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
Oh mama! Hugs! I think Susan gave great advice.
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
Mama, I am also trying to relactate. I am on more milk plus. It contains blessed thissle and fenugreek. I am awaiting the arrival of my domperidone. It should come the first part of next week. I started a week ago today. I started getting a few drops and a woman at LLL told me to "power pump" that is basically a lot of pumping in a short amount of time. Anyways, I stressed my breasts out and they stopped producing anything. I was told to go back to 8 times a day and 12 glasses of water a day. I am doing that and hope and pray that my milk will be coming back in when I get my new medicine. I am (like Susan) doing this for the health of my children. If you can believe this, i am actually pumping right now while I am typing to you and holding my now 11 month old boy. I have not lactated in 10 months. My milk dried up after a month of having my son in the NICU for a month. Good luck to you and if you need to talk about anything, just PM me and I would be happy to call you on the phone to talk too.
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
yay for trying!
You might see if someone on here has a supplemental nurser system
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
For all of you relactating, if you haven't found this site yet it has links and resources that helped me a lot. It's about adoptive bfing, but it helped when I was relactating: http://fourfriends.com/abrw/
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
you can absolutely do it, it you're dedicated and can afford the time.
some rec- yes, go on protocols to get the milk back. then get a SNS- supplemental nursing system so she drinks her current formula from your BREAST, not a bottle. She'll learn that that's where the food is from now on, but she'll also be getting her nutrition, so she'll want to. and have a few nurse-ins. once you start the meds and herbs just spend a few days nursing as much as possible and doing very little else. Beer, water, oatmeal, fenugreek, and domperidone, etc. You can do it! If it's important to you, you can get it back.
big big hugs because that must have been a terrible experience to have to go through. (((hugs)))
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
Thanks so much...
I just ordered the SNS, what a neat idea. I am just determined to get my milk back...
I am pumping alot now and waiting for the domperidone and more milk plus to come in the mail..
Is tingling and a sudden relaxing feeling a good sign when pumping even though nothing is coming out (yet)??
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
The tingling is usually like a let down feeling, so yup sounds good to me. :)
Re: Relactation? Is it possible??
Kelly mom site is great, also cal your local LLL.
You can take Domperidone(motillium) as well as Fenugreek 3 tabs 3xs a day, and blessed thistle 3 tabs 3xs a day. Keep putting babe to the breast, perhaps with a SNS (LLL or a LC can help with the SNS) (SNS supplemental nursing system)
Don't give up, and don't be so hard on yourself. Take care if you need more info i can give you more.
