I have been exclusively breastfeeding my daughter since she was born 3 months ago, and I don't plan on stopping until she wants to stop...but I HATE IT!!!!!!!!! I can't stand BFing!!!!! I don't know what is wrong with me!!! Are any of you other mamas like this???
Almost everytime she's hungry I dread feeding her, like I HATE it. I absolutely LOVE my daughter, I love her with all my heart....but I HATE feeding her! At first it was painful for a long time, now it's just annoying me to the point of going a little craycray...
She eats ALL THE TIME it feels like. At LEAST 12 times a day, plus she won't take a pacifer, so she instead decided to turn my boob into one. She has been super fussy the past month also, she will cry and want to be "fed" and instead of eating she'll want to sit there with my boob in her mouth grrrrr, sooo annoying! I'll take her away and she'll start up again with the crying. She will eat and unlatch and cry, all the time too! She will do this a few times every time she eats, and I will have to get her to latch over and over again. Sometimes it's because my letdown is too much for her and she'll cough and pull away, but a lot of the time I'm not sure why she does it....she will fling her arms all over the place and squirm around so I have to hold her still....eventually after a LONG time, she'll be more calm...she is a squirmy maniac every time she eats.
I personally HATE how BFING Feels, I can't stand it! It's so uncomfortable to me. And it feels so weird and unnatural. I know it's the MOST natural thing you could do, that's why I'm doing it, but to me it feels gross and annoying and invasive. I'm super weird and creeped out by the thought of it, like if I'm sitting there feeding her thinking about it, it's unbearable. I have to keep myself occupied with TV or the internet, I can't sit there and enjoy the "bonding" experience with her....
I thought I was done sharing my body now that I'm not pregnant anymore, the opposite. Now I have to share my boobs 24/7 with a squirmy crying little person, who bites and pukes all over them! Not to mention BFing is exhausting and I HATE how my nipples look now!! I'm also weird about breastfeeding in public. Just me PERSONALLY. I love seeing women BFing, OTHER women, it looks beautiful and empowering, but I hate doing it! I get really creeped out by all the men that stare...I kind of have issues with men. Even if I have a cover, I still feel like people are staring at me, and I hate to be the center of attention! And I KNOW I would be. She is such a squirmy eater, and she is constantly moving around and unlatching...she would totally leave my boob exposed, and milk would get everywhere...messy...not doing it. The last time I tried to go out to lunch, she started crying immediately in the restaurant, so I had to go back out to the car and BF, which was incredibly awkward and cramped. She ate for FOREVER, probably because she OVERATE, which is also a problem...she will want to latch and suck my boob for comfort, ends up over-eating I think, and puking. Puked all over me in the car, drove home....no point in going out.
I hate that I have to eat healthy STILL. I thought I was done eating organic, and limiting my intake of dairy...and sweets...and not being able to enjoy crappy energy drinks and a whole bunch of caffeine. I have to eat all the time because of my appetite, I wish I didn't have to eat so healthy!!!! It's like my body is a prison still!!! (Haha you can tell I enjoyed pregnancy right!?) I want to be able to drink and smoke a little! I can't do anything! Just the other day my friend came over who I hadn't seen in over a year, and her visit was such a let down. I was ill-prepared for it a little, the baby would not calm down, she wanted to eat the entire time they were here...it sucked! The whole time I was in the back room feeding her while my friend and her boyfriend hung out in our living room.When I was hanging out with them, I couldn't get my brain to concentrate on having a normal adult conversation that didn't revolve around my baby, or thinking about my baby. I didn't even have the ability to look sane and ask engaging questions, I felt like a failure friend, like some psycho ADD mom
I know I should shut up and stop complaining...I should be thankful that I can BF successfully...but I can't. I can't stop myself from thinking how much easier it would be on ME to use formula. Maybe I would be less exhausted and angry about it, if I felt like my boyfriend was helping me out more...he never says encouraging things to me about BFing...or anything really for that matter, at least not on the daily...he's been barely taking care of our daughter I do everything. He's on a break from school, and not working, he hasn't been helping me do anything, he sleeps all day and plays video games all night....and complains to me about how I need to clean more, that's about it.
Ok ANYWAY, that's a whole other issue....stemming from the first one I have...BFing!!!!!!!! Blah I don't know how I'm going to do it for so much longer! But I know I'm going to. When I set my mind to something, I generally do it...I know I wanted an all natural birth did it, I know I want to BF, I'm going to do it, it's just so hard!!!!!
Oh and we've tried bottles before, she WON'T take them! I've pumped and decided maybe I could exclusively bottle feed...didn't work. Still trying to get her to take it...but now I'm frustrated because I've pumped on a few different occasions and the milk has gone bad....BM is like liquid gold!!!! Much like BFing I HATE pumping!!!! So it's so tramatic to lose some.

Re: I HATE BFING!!!!!!!
Oh dear mama, I'm sorry. I don't have much advice but I'll give what I can.
Can you sit in a quiet dark place to see if that helps with the squirming?
Did someone besides you try the bottle? If baby can see or smell you (yes smell) they will sometimes refuse because they know you're there. Get some freezer bags for when you do pump. It can stay frozen for 4-6+ months and still be fine.
I support breastfeeding but sometimes formula is necessary. I'm not trying to tell you what to do but you've got to find what works for you. If you're an emotional wreck and can't stand your baby something needs to change.
Do you have ppd? I hate to ask but sometimes women have it and don't really realize it. There are some safe meds for it to take while breastfeeding.
I hope that helped in some way. You are not a bad mom for not liking breastfeeding. Just find what works for you and baby.
eta: do you feel this way all the time or just at let down? You might want to take a look at http://www.d-mer.org/ to see if that might be part of your problem.

Re: I HATE BFING!!!!!!!
Have you asked advice from a local lactation consultant? Someone who might even be able to come to your house or meet you somewhere to help you with all your issues and questions. I met with one when my dd was 2 weeks old and it REALLY helped!
Have you asked your bf to be more involved and specifically told him what you need him to do? That's ridiculous that you have to do everything while he lazes around. Honestly I imagine the stress of that makes bfing that much more irksome because he gets to do what he wants while you struggle with your dd.
keep in mind that your dd is still VERY young and this is all new for her and you. She could have some health issues like reflux or colic so def. go to your doctor and ask.

Re: I HATE BFING!!!!!!!
Do you have a local La Leche League? I hardly ever nursed my first dd in public - but with dd2, I find it no big deal. It does take practice to do it ..... discreetly is not the key-word..... but confidently! Being amongst a group of other women who NIP casually & confidently is very helpful.
Plus - they can address other issues you have about BFing. It does help to learn that your baby's "annyoing" habits are probably quite common among other's and veteran moms may be able to discus how those annoying phases were simply phases and often pass onto more serene times!
Good Luck Mama!

Re: I HATE BFING!!!!!!!
I hear you. And believe me: You are not alone!
I know how great BFing is, etc., etc., etc. And sometimes I really do enjoy the bonding time. But there are many aspects of it I hated. Which I am just remembering now with my two-week old DD.
My DS was "extremely fussy," woudln't take a pacifier, wouldn't touch frozen BM, would sometimes choke down pumped milk (so I could hardly ever leave the house for long periods unless I planned it for days in advance), woudln't sleep for more than 40 minutes at a time. It was BRUTAL.
I did, as PP mentioned, have PPD. If you think you might have it, don't suffer alone. Reach out! There are lots of moms in the SAME EXACT BOAT and you don't have to be alone. I didn't reach out--which is part of PPD. But you really don't need to feel alone in this.
And I cried when I first pumped and sometimes after that. I felt like a cow hooked up to a milking machine. It took a long time to feel comfortable and womanly after BFing--like I lost my identity as a woman and was only a milk vessel.
I was definitely not one of these blissful moms who wanted to BF forever. It's hard sometimes. For me one of the hardest things is feeling like you have no control over your own body. And then there was my DS with 20 teeth in his mouth before his first birthday who thought it was great fun to chomp down on my nipples.
I think PP offers good advice about La Leche League. The forums on Kellymom also helped me get through the worst of it.
Hang in there, mama! You really are through the worst part!

Re: I HATE BFING!!!!!!!
Sometimes we bully ourselves into thinking we have to do XY and Z to be the best mom we can be--but we get so caught up in the details that we forget that being well rested and happy makes you a WAY better mom than following some list we have in our heads.

What about the whole D-MER thing? That could be it too
To be honest I'm not too much of a fan either but it's because she's so picky and fussy but we are still going but there's days I could just quit.

Re: I HATE BFING!!!!!!!
I would rec going to a LLL meeting or talking to a LC as well. You mention being uncomfortable. Well, you also mentioned just not liking the feel of it all, too, but if there is true discomfort, she could very well have a tongue tie, or a high palate or something "wrong" that contributes to the way it feels.
To commiserate a little...My son doesn't sit still when he nurses either, and I can't really figure out why. He pushes away so he's pulling very hard on my nipple, he turns in different directions, and he unlatches constantly, do to his poor suck...It's not a lot of fun in those situations.
Also, are you taking vitamins? I take a great vitamin complex as well as eat healthy, and because of that I allow myself to graze on "bad" things every so often, stop at Taco Bell, eat too much ice cream, etc.. Because I know my body and his is already very well taken care of. Also, as far as the caffeine, while some babies are sensitive to it, not all are, and kellymom.com says that there is no reason not to drink it if baby can handle it. I drink energy drinks
I'm sorry it's not fun for you, and you aren't enjoying it. I would definitely recommend going to get checked out for PPD as others have mentioned too. And find a way to get your boyfriend to help you out. That is totally unfair of him, and could very well be the root of all that's going on. You need to feel appreciated for all you're doing, despite how you are feeling, and you don't seem to be getting that from him. I'm very sorry. I know what that's like!
You are doing an amazing thing, though, and you know your daughter will appreciate it sooo very much when she is old enough to know

Paradox's March of the Eagles was released this week on PC, and if you've been at all swayed by my love of Crusader Kings II, the video above may have you thinking "wonderful, this is like that, only with muskets".
Be warned, then, that this isn't the case.
I've been playing the game since last year (I was part of the beta), and it's an interesting thing. It's basically an enormous board game. Risk with more pieces and more numbers. There's no real politics and no marriage or intrigue to speak of. Just loads of men in fancy uniforms being pushed around a map. To their deaths.
The whole thing's a little dry, lacking in either the character of Crusader Kings or the depth of, say, Hearts of Iron, another Paradox game that's all about warfare. But it's (relatively) more accessible than the latter, and you've got much more control over your forces than the former, so it does have that going for it.
I've heard (didn't get a chance to try it myself) that multiplayer is where the game really shines, though, so if you've got some like-minded friends around maybe that's the ticket.

LOVE Jenna's shirt! I'm really looking forward to watching this team!
Quote from: MamaT on August 31, 2011, 03:03:17 PMLOVE Jenna's shirt! I'm really looking forward to watching this team!I know! "My mascara runs faster than you" <333
I think they're going to be a really sweet couple on the race... and I may really like them. Love Jenna's shirt too!I really hope they make it far. They give the Kris/Jon, Meghan and Cheyne vibe.. but also give the token co-ed teams who get eliminated early feel like Cindy and Russell and Allison and Donny.Here's hoping they make it far! Nice teams should always advance!
EH: What made you want to do another reality show? Jenna: Were both extremely competitive. We take it very seriously, so were not joking around on The Amazing Race. Were focused and stressed. Ethan: Were always trying to out-compete each other. Its not like Everyday Health. During the race, we werent stopping and helping kids on the side of the road. EH: Those two shows, The Amazing Race and Everyday Health, seem to be total opposites of each other. Why do both of them? Jenna: Weve been through a lot, but one thing that we continue to learn is the power of the human spirit and how so many people are turning such tragic situations into triumphs. Ethan: I was really excited that we could be ourselves and have this kind of pay it forward experience. With [Everyday Health], we could be the people that make charity and philanthropy cool. How great is that if we can create this mini-revolution of consciousness among everyone whos watching the show to get off their couch and go do something good. You dont have to win Survivor or have a reality show to go out there and do something in this world. All of us can do something like donating blood or dropping off balloons at the hospital.

Organ donation is the process of giving an organ or a part of an organ for the purpose of transplantation into another person. Both deceased and living organ donation begins with a person who recognizes an opportunity to help others.
Facts about organ donation
- Only important medical information, such as severity of your illness, time spent waiting, blood type, and other medical criteria are important for receiving an organ offer.
- Anyone can become an organ donor, no matter how old you are. Your medical condition at the time of death will determine what organs and tissue can be donated.
- All major religions approve of organ and tissue donation and consider it an act of charity.
- Organs and tissues that can be donated include: heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, corneas, skin, tendons, bone, and heart valves.
- Even if you have indicated your wishes on your drivers' license or in a national or state registry, be sure you have told your family so they understand your decision. Sign up to be an organ donor in your state.
The basic path to deceased donation
The organ donation process begins with a decision. You recognize the opportunity to help others by donating your organs when you die. You enroll in your state's donor registry and share your decision with your family and friends. When your time comes, your organs may be used to save many lives. People most frequently become donors after a stroke, heart attack or a severe head injury. Even though cases vary, there are several basic steps in donation from deceased donors.
Living donation
More than 113,000 people are waiting for transplants, but the demand for organs far exceeds the supply. Living donation offers another choice for transplant candidates, and it extends the supply of organs.
Kidney paired donation
Kidney paired donation (KPD) is a transplant option for candidates who have a living donor who is medically able, but cannot donate a kidney to their intended candidate because they are incompatible (i.e., poorly matched).
The National Donor Memorial
Located at United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) in Richmond, Virginia, the National Donor Memorial honors America's organ and tissue donors. The theme of the National Donor Memorial is "Hope, Renewal, Transformation." The memorial garden symbolically leads visitors through the organ and tissue donation experience.
Every ten minutes, someone is added to the national transplant waiting list.

Former great Mark Waugh has warned the Australian's that fielding will be vitally important in deciding the outcome of the upcoming Ashes series.
Waugh has spoken of how crucial it will be for the tourists to take their chances as they look to take the wickets that could lead to Ashes glory.
Waugh told FoxSports: "We've got to take our catches. We've lost Mike Hussey and Ricky Ponting out of the slips and gully region in the last year so that's going to be a big hole to fill.
"When you're playing a good team and the bowlers are creating the chances, especially in the slips, you've got to take the regulation catches but you've got to take the half chances as well."
Waugh is well placed to comment on the fielding standards in the Australian team as he was renonwned as one of the finest exponents of slip fielding the game has ever seen.
He has expressed some reservations about the standard of fielding in this current Australian side.
"There's some steady fieldsmen, but I think at the moment, David Warner is a very good outfielder, obviously Michael Clarke is a very good catcher and Shane Watson's not too bad."
"But you take those guys out. Who do you say is reallly an outstanding fieldsman? There's not too many around at the moment."
Waugh does see fielding as an opportunity where the Australian team can hurt the English , provided they execute well.
"Fielding definitely lifts your team and it's a good sign of the character of a team how well you field."
It is an area new coach Darren Lehmann has also identified as an area Australia can improve on in the Ashes series.
Lehmann said: "One of the things we can control is how we field. We've got to field well. We know we've got to take every opportunity," he said.
"There's not too many games you lose if you take every opportunity that comes your way."

The catenary curve is the shape of a chain hanging between two equal-height poles under the influence of gravity. But the derivation of the (hyperbolic cosine) curve equation from the physics traditionally assumes a uniform gravitational field. Suppose instead one uses the non-uniform gravitational field that diminishes with distance from the center of the Earth. (Perhaps this would be relevant for a very long chain that sags significantly.) Does this lead to an interesting curve, known in some closed form? Or just to a differential equation that can only be solved numerically?
I ask this primarily out of curiosity, so please interpret in that spirit!

From NBC's Mark Murray
The final nail in the coffin for a bipartisan Senate Finance Committee bill?
According to the Huffington Post, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) -- the ranking member on the panel who's working with Committee chairman Max Baucus (D) -- appeared to endorse the untrue "death panel" argument on health care.
"There is some fear because in the House bill, there is counseling for end-of-life. And from that standpoint, you have every right to fear. You shouldn't have counseling at the end of life. You ought to have counseling 20 years before you're going to die. You ought to plan these things out. And I don't have any problem with things like living wills. But they ought to be done within the family. We should not have a government program that determines if you're going to pull the plug on grandma."

LAFAYETTE — Despite an outcry from residents who say a proposed 55-foot condominium complex is too tall and densely packed for their city, officials are moving ahead, letting developers build 72 dwellings downtown near the BART station.
At a meeting this week, Councilman Carl Anduri, Vice-Mayor Mike Anderson and Mayor Carol Federighi approved ordinance changes allowing developer KB Home to build residences instead of offices near Dewing Avenue and Mt. Diablo Boulevard. They revised ordinance is set for adoption Dec. 4.
The council also approved general plan changes to allow for a building more than three stories and over 35 feet high downtown near the BART station. The condo project calls for four stories atop an aboveground parking garage.
The decisions came after more than three hours of at-times testy debate. Included were new conditions officials say will give them more oversight of the project.
Councilman Don Tatzin opposed the plan, and Brandt Andersson has recused himself from voting on the project, citing a possible conflict of interest.
Officials and residents have chastised the developer for changing the design just two weeks before a legal deadline for the project's approval. Plans presented Nov. 20 showed a lower height and some, but not all, of the revisions made to the Town Center phase III complex. At least one council member asked for further review.
On Monday, attorney Margo Bradish told city leaders the developer had complied with all of its agreements — which she said did not include the council making additional requests.
Anduri fired back at the suggestion the city was asking for last-minute changes. "Your description of the process and putting it back on the council at the last minute strikes me as not the reality that happened," he said.
According to the guidelines, the city will now vet the new plans before a building permit is issued. Square footage could be reduced in the process, but developers would lose no more than three units.
"This provides the review that you have sought and many others have sought so the council is still involved in the process," Federighi told the smattering of residents who had waited for city leaders to emerge from a hastily-called closed session discussion of possible legal action over the project after it appeared they might deadlock on a decision Monday night.
Earlier, opponents had railed against the project, which they argued would really be five stories tall (counting the parking garage) and would obstruct certain views of the city's ridgelines. Some also talked about the influx of future students on crowded schools and how that might affect the quality of education.
Others worried about traffic congestion and overdevelopment of a city they consider semirural. "We love our downtown," resident Elliot Hudson told the council. "We love it small."
Federighi acknowledged those worries, saying although she knows people are concerned about the project's height, the location is the best for high-density housing.
"I know that some of you still feel that this is too high, too massive," she said. "This is the one area that can take it."

Mozilla has set loose Firefox 10, the latest version of its open-source Web browser for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. New features in the release are largely limited to technologies aimed at Web developers, but there's one important new feature that ought to appeal to anyone who has augmented their browser's functionality: by default, most add-ons will be compatible with new versions of Firefox by default, and users will have an easier time managing and (if necessary) updating their add-ons to new versions of the browser.
In previous versions of Firefox, Mozilla assumed add-ons weren't compatible with new versions of the browser unless they had specifically been re-released for a new browser version; the result was that many users put off upgrades until new versions of their add-ons were available. However, Mozilla realized roughly three-quarters of all Firefox add-ons generally don't have any compatibility issues with new releases—the biggest exceptions are binary add-ons that contain their own compiled code. So, beginning with Firefox 10, Mozilla assumes that extensions are compatible with new versions of Firefox so long as they don't contain compiled code and were compatible with Firefox 4, the last time a major shift in architecture required add-on changes. Firefox 10 also polls for new versions of add-ons once a day, and installs them if an update is found.
Most of the other new features in Firefox 10 are under-the-hood changes and features only Web developers can love. Notable for Web authors, Firefox 10 includes a Page Inspector that enables Web authors to peer into the structure of a Web page, and there's also a style sheet inspector to look at how styling information is handled: Web developers have previously used tools like the much-loved Firebug for similar tasks, but it's nice to see the support included. The browser also includes a ScratchPad based on the Eclipse Orion code editor, and adds a new full-screen mode site creators can use for immersive apps like games. (Game developers will also appreciate new 3D graphics capabilities and antialiasing for WebGL content.)
Firefox 10 is the latest version in Firefox's rapid-release program that's intended to bring new features to the browser (and its users) more quickly, rather than waiting many months (or over a year) to bring out monolithic new versions. The goal of the rapid release program is to get new technologies out into the real Web more quickly; however, it has also drawn ire from both individual users and organizations. Some end users are frustrated by constant updates that don't seem to bring much in the way of new features (for most users, Firefox 10 is almost indistinguishable from Firefox 4), while organizational users find Firefox too much of a moving target: they can't certify a new version get it out to their user base before another one comes along and the process starts all over again.
The new technology for handling add-ons should make the process of upgrading to new versions smoother for end-users, and to satisfy organizations, Firefox 10 is the first Extended Support Release (ESR) of the browser: instead of fading away after a few weeks, Mozilla will maintain Firefox 10 with security updates for a full year, even as they move on to Firefox 11, 12, 13, and more. Making Firefox 10 an ESR release means the browser is a stable target for companies and organizations.

Zac Efron attends the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat basketball game at the American Airlines Arena on Thursday (January 23) in Miami, Fla.
The 26-year-old actor was joined by his That Awkward Moment co-stars Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, and director Tom Gormican.
In a new interview with E! News, the guys revealed the craziest places they have had sex.
"I think it was at prom with my girlfriend of three years," Zac said.
"I think that when you're younger, you have to find places to get your own privacy," Michael said. "When you're an adult, it's like whatever. I wanna say, like, a movie theater."
10+ pictures inside of Zac Efron and the guys at the basketball game…

Weaved with heat and Thai, or holy basil, amongst wide rice noodles, Pad Kee Mao is one of my go-to menu choices when I'm dining at a (hopefully) veg-friendly Thai restaurant. Also known as Drunken Noodles, the presence of those fresh herbs and chili makes it that much more likely that your vegan option is not just omitting the fish sauce and forgetting the rest of the flavor. The version below has become the basis for Pad Kee Mao in my own kitchen, altered from recipes and restaurant versions I've tried throughout the years. Thanks to VeganMoFo for making me open a google doc and actually jot down what I've been doing.
In my trials, I have become insistent on the use of fresh wide rice noodles and if you can find it, lemongrass. If you're in the Portland area, check out an Asian market, supermarket (such as Fubonn and Uwaijimaya) for both ingredients, or stop by JC Rice Noodle Shop on SE Foster & 84th for its namesake alone.
Pad Kee Mao Faux Gai (aka Drunken Noodles with Seitan)
Makes 2 generous servings
- 6 ounces wide rice noodles – fresh, or prepared as instructed and set aside, run under cool water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch lemongrass, outer layers pulled away and thinly sliced or minced
- 1 inch galangal (or ginger) minced
- 2 Thai chiles or 1 large jalapeño, minced> use more or less depending on your heat preference
- ½ lb sliced seitan>the above dish uses the No-Cluck seitan from Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day
- vegetable or peanut oil
- 1/2 cup sliced vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli and carrots (note: if you're using onion, add right after the seitan is taken out)
- One small, diced tomato
- 2 tablespoons bottled Nước Mắm Chay (vegetarian fish sauce), or make your own
- 1 tablespoon mushroom soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon palm or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon red chili paste (optional – you could also add some Srichacha if you crave heat)
- handful of torn Thai basil leaves
- lime wedges for squeezing
- fresh bean sprouts
- dried chili
Whisk together the sauce in small cup or bowl. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy pan and pan-fry the seitan pieces on both sides until just-browned. Set aside on paper towels and lower the heat.
Add the garlic, lemongrass, galangal, optional ginger and chili peppers to the pan you just used. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, increasing the heat to medium again, until quite fragrant. Lower the heat if it's too much.
Add in the sliced vegetables, stir fry for one minute, and then add the seitan back to the pan. Quickly add the sauce, noodles, and tomato and gently toss everything until the sauce is well-dispersed and warm, ideally, another 30-45 seconds. Plate, top with fresh bean sprouts and serve with plenty of fresh lime wedges and dried chili, if desired.

Late 19th-Century Hotel with Comfortable Cottages and Active Diving Scene
Though Catalina Island may best be known as "the island of romance," it's also a renowned watersports destination. Set just off the coast of Southern California, the island is surrounded by crystal-clear water, kelp forests, and abundant marine life, making it an especially beloved spot among scuba divers, who travel here from near and far. The Historic Hermosa Hotel & Catalina Cottages, located half a block from the beach, provides a casual, laid-back setting for exploring the area, and it offers dive lockers and outdoor gear showers for those interested in spending time underwater. A sense of Catalina funkiness has been at the heart of the hotel since it opened in 1896, and that remains very much alive today.
Dotted with mountains, beaches, and coves, Catalina Island offers a range of recreational opportunities. Outfitters launch kayaking and snorkeling tours steps from the Historic Hermosa Hotel, and more than 200 miles of hiking and biking trails wind through the surrounding hills. You can set up eco-excursions such as zipline tours through the front desk. With this Getaway, you'll get two tickets to the Catalina Island Museum to admire its historical photographic exhibits.
Villa arches and narrow stairways lead to the hotel's private cottages. Preferred kitchen units feature full kitchens with refrigerators, stovetops, and microwaves. Casual whitewashed furnishings fill the bedrooms. Guests can take in views of the island's beautiful scenery from the hotel's second- or third-floor balconies or hunker down with a book and a cup of coffee in the charming lobby area.
Santa Catalina Island, California: Desert Foliage and Secluded Coves in the Pacific Ocean
Santa Catalina Island, most often referred to simply as Catalina Island, is just 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles, but it's a world away from the busy city. The island's unpopulated interior is home to a vast array of desert foliage and wildlife, and its many secluded coves are nice spots to soak up rays or snorkel among starfish, sea urchins, and bright-orange garibaldis. Travel + Leisure called these coves "ready-made for romance," naming Catalina one of the most romantic islands in the world. Much of Catalina Island is accessible only by unpaved hiking and biking trails, but you can see many of its endemic plants in town at the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Gardens. The memorial, which was constructed with blue flagstone rock from the harbor and hand-painted tiles from Catalina Pottery, is just a short drive or half-hour walk from Avalon, the island's only major city. To see a little more of the interior, take the all-levels Garden to Sky hike from here for spectacular views of the island and surrounding ocean.

Rutgers Board Approves Tuition Hike
Rutgers University's Board of Governors has approved a tuition increase for the upcoming school year.
The board approved a budget proposal Thursday that contains increases in tuition, fees, and room and board. Tuition alone will increase 3.5 percent and room and board increases by 1.5 percent.
Budget officials say it's necessary to fund mandatory salary increases and as seed money for projects.
Students testified that college tuition is already too high and many told stories of having to drop out because they couldn't afford classes.
As the board voted on the resolution to increase tuition, students began shouting at the board, drowning out the vote.
Rutgers approved a 2 1/2 percent increase last year. It cost the average in-state Rutgers student $13,073 in tuition and fees.

A new handbook published online by NOAA's Fisheries Service gives teachers, community groups, and the public a detailed roadmap of how to design and conduct oral history projects that celebrate the people, history and culture of our nation's coastal and Great Lakes fishing communities.
"Capturing the stories and experiences of local men and women who take part in commercial and recreational fishing and other marine-related occupations is especially important for young people growing up in these towns and cities," said Dr. Susan Abbott-Jamieson, senior social scientist with NOAA's Fisheries Service and one of three authors of Voices from the Fisheries Handbook: Preserving Local Fisheries Knowledge, Linking Generations, and Improving Environmental Literacy. "Through interviews with community residents, students explore the rich connections between fisheries, the marine environment, their community, and their own lives."
The idea for the handbook grew out of NOAA's Fisheries Service Local Fisheries Knowledge Project conducted in Ellsworth and Jonesport high schools in Maine from 2003 to 2006. NOAA worked with the Rural School and Community Trust and local educators to design an oral history curriculum for students who documented the fishing and maritime history of their Downeast communities.
The handbook includes sections on how to start projects, build community partnerships and integrate projects into existing curricula, among other topics.
"Students who previously saw no connection between their lives and the work of scientists, fisheries managers and seafood businesspeople began to imagine different futures for themselves," said Joyce Whitmore, a retired social sciences teacher from Ellsworth High School and a co-author of the handbook. "A student in Jonesport was so inspired by doing the research that she decided to attend college, which had not been in her plans."
Voices from the Fisheries Handbook: Preserving Local Fisheries Knowledge, Linking Generations, and Improving Environmental Literacy by Julie Bartch, the New England steward for the Rural School and Community Trust, Abbott-Jamieson, and Whitmore is now available to the public online at http://www.voices.nmfs.noaa.gov.

Mariners come alive in seventh, then hold on

HOUSTON -- The Mariners welcomed the return of All-Star right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma as well as some much-needed offense as they outscored the Astros, 9-8, in a Saturday slugfest at Minute Maid Park.
And while this one got a little crazy, with the Mariners nearly blowing a 9-2 lead, they were more than happy to walk away with a victory after numerous recent frustrations with the Astros.View Full Game Coverage
"A win is a win," said manager Lloyd McClendon, who watched the final three innings on TV in the clubhouse after getting ejected. "People say you win ugly, I don't buy that. A win is a win. Playing great and losing, you don't get the ice cream for that. We get ice cream tonight. We won. That's all that counts."
Iwakuma's return was the cherry on top of the sundae as the 33-year-old picked up the victory in his debut after missing the first five weeks of the season with a torn tendon in his right middle finger.
Iwakuma's final line didn't look that impressive with four runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings, but he had a 9-3 lead and had thrown an efficient 81-pitch outing until turning the game over to his bullpen with a runner on first and two out in the seventh.
"Kuma looked like Kuma of old, right off the bat," said catcher Mike Zunino. "I know he's still ironing out some stuff, but I thought his breaking ball and split were great today. Just a couple things with the location of his sinker, but other than that he was pretty impressive for his first time out."
Iwakuma had a string of 25 scoreless innings -- dating back to last year -- snapped when he allowed two runs in the third. But he felt strong throughout and his return bodes well for the Mariners as they regain a pitcher who was third in the American League Cy Young Award voting last season.
"I feel a lot of relief right now," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "I felt very excited before the game and was able to focus and pitch my game, so I'm very happy right now."
And all the Mariners were relieved after surviving the late onslaught, which required closer Fernando Rodney to come in with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth and get out of a Yoervis Medina-created jam to earn what turned into a four-out save.
"However long it was and however many guys we had to use, I'll take a win any day of the week," said Zunino. "We did a great job to limit the damage when stuff wasn't going our way and we were able to squeak out of this one."
The Mariners helped Iwakuma out with their highest-scoring game since a 10-3 victory on Opening Day in Anaheim, though they waited until the late innings to make their presence felt.
After managing just two hits through five scoreless innings against Astros lefty Dallas Keuchel, the Mariners broke through with a run in the sixth and eight more in the seventh as they evened the series at 1-1.
"We were Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," said McClendon. "The first part of that game we had horsebleep at-bats to be honest with you. The second part of the game, we were a little more patient, got the ball up and got the guy in the strike zone."
A mammoth two-run home run by Justin Smoak and Michael Saunders' two-run double highlighted the seventh-inning outburst, which was kick-started by four straight walks to open the frame by Keuchel and reliever Jose Cisnero as the Astros blew a 2-1 lead in a hurry.
After a bases-loaded walk by Zunino tied the game at 2, Saunders made it 4-2 with his double. Stefen Romero and Robinson Cano followed with run-scoring singles, Kyle Seager added an RBI double and Smoak unloaded a 415-foot blast that hit off the railroad tracks above the left-field stands at Minute Maid Park.
"I hit it pretty good," Smoak said with a smile after notching his fourth homer of the year, with 17 RBIs. "I was looking for the fastball there early and got it and put a good swing on it."
All eight runs came after McClendon was ejected by home-plate umpire James Hoye after becoming upset about the Astros getting extra time to warm up Cisnero in the bullpen following a mound visit by Houston skipper Bo Porter and another by catcher Jason Castro.
The Mariners have won six of their last eight games to improve to 13-15. Houston, which had beaten Seattle three of their first four meetings this year, fell to 10-20.
Iwakuma breezed through the first two frames before giving up two runs in the third on an RBI triple by Jonathan Villar and sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve. The Astros cut the lead to 9-4 on a home run by Chris Carter in the seventh and then began chipping away at Seattle's bullpen after Iwakuma's departure.
Rookie reliever Dominic Leone surrendered a two-run homer to Villar in the seventh as Houston scored four times in that frame, then made it 9-8 with a pair of runs off Medina and had the bases loaded before Rodney was summoned for his seventh save.
Saunders, Cano and Smoak each had two RBIs and the Mariners went 5-for-7 with runners in scoring position to take advantage of nine hits and five walks.

So, seeing as deities are pretty much finalized (barring some major exploit that comes out of the woodworks or a couple very slight tweaks from the devs), I figured it's time for the final deity rankings. Feel free to post your own and any comments. These are my thoughts:
#1) Dracul
Do I really need to justify this? The sheer amount of health resources this unholy terror provides is amazing, and to top it off his primary piety source (blood pools) is something that is almost always completely untapped when you begin worship. He works extraordinarily well and almost any character can convert in and start rocking out. His only weaknesses are that he offers little to dedicated spellcasters and he's not quite as good for low-level characters, neither of which is enough to make people back away from this awesome deity.
#2) Tikki Tooki
A close second to Dracul, this god offers a wide variety of potent powers that really make life smooth for high-attack characters. Dodging, double-strike, extra popcorn experience, gold, and on top of that a general-purpose piety farm? Great deity overall, and now that he offers GETINDARE (the most powerful glyph in the game, IMO) on worship he can be reliably joined as early as level 1.
#3) Glowing Guardian
Absolution and Humility may have been nerfed (repeatedly...) but they're still some of the most powerful boons in the game. If you can get in the door at level 1, the Glowing Guardian is a kick-ass deity who will pay off many times over before you convert out to drink your potions. He's considerably weaker if you find his altar later, but he still works reasonably well if you convert in for some end-game post-potion protection.
#4) Pactmaker
Versatility and utility is the name of the game, and the Pactmaker allows you to really leverage unused piety. His ability to just improve the performance of other deities is really nice. Unfortunately, he doesn't work very well with Glowing Guardian or Jehora Jeheyu, but overall he's one of the more reliable altars to have on the field.
#5) Mystera Annur
Refreshment, and generally a piety farm. That is all.
#6) Binlor Ironshield
Magic resist, piety farming, and good old-fashioned knockback. Binlor is a very focused god that is great at what he does, but loses ground due to poor versatility. Overall he's a great altar to find early, but completely forgettable if found late.
#7) Earthmother
The only literal piety farm in the game, Earthmother is a master of low-cost/so-so boons. However, the clearance buff has really given her new life in terms of late-game potential. Converting into Earthmother in the end-game now gets you more than just a one-shot entanglement, which can be really useful. She works very well with conversion antics, and if found early enough is actually a very good option. She's much improved from her former status as the queen of consolation prizes.
#8) Jehora Jeheyu
I love Jehora, as my avatar should indicate, but let's face it: he gives little piety, he is horrible if the map is more than 1/4 revealed when you begin worship, he requires a huge amount of piety before you get your first boon, converting into his religion is only viable under very narrow conditions, and even in the best-case scenarios he can still screw you over by random chance. He's a very powerful deity when everything pans out, which is what keeps him off the bottom, but he's only a shadow of his former self when he was unambiguously the most powerful god in the game.
#9) Taurog
I fully recognize that big-T is useful for beginners, but once you move on to more advanced playstyles the fact that he hogs up your inventory and screws with your glyph combos is going to make him hurt as much as he helps. There are really only three cases where Taurog's boons are useful for high-end play: characters with lots of compression seals (ie, Tinkers), resist-stackers, and non-endurance dungeons where unstoppable fury makes for an easy win. Aside from those scenarios, he's a piety farm whose boons I never touch.
Interestingly Dracul and Glowing Guardian have nearly consistently held spots in the top three deities for the entire beta. Dracul went from being a mana-monger in the blood power era to a health-monger in the blood tithe era, and has been top-tier material the whole way except for the brief period where he didn't have either of these boons. Glowing Guardian has always been a reliable heavy-weight aside from the brief period where piety generation was nearly impossible (the fact that he was still useable with desecration or consensus alone during this period was testament to the raw underlying power). Other deities have had their time in the sun, with Mystera, Jehora Jeheyu and Binlor Ironshield each having a short period where they were the dominant deities, but those two have consistently been at the top.
Agree? Disagree? What's your thoughts.

KIAWAH ISLANDS, S.C (Oct. 26, 2009) - The ETSU women's golf team fired a tournament-low 289 in the first round and followed that effort with a 294 in the second to lead after 36 holes of the 2009 Palmetto Intercollegiate Monday at the Oak Point Golf Course.
The Buccaneers, who lead Atlantic Coast Conference member Maryland by three strokes, got outstanding individual performances from senior Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland) and sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria). O'Sullivan finished the day in second place on the individual leaderboard, six strokes back of leader Jessie Hollandsworth of Maryland, while Muehl finished tied for third and is one stroke back of O'Sullivan.
"I was really proud of our entire team today, but especially the play of Sinead and Nina," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "We enjoy playing in this tournament and I think that showed again today. We've positioned ourselves for a chance to win again, and hopefully we can play well tomorrow."
Along with O'Sullivan and Muehl, ETSU sophomore Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain) posted a strong performance as well, finishing tied for 16th, while seniors Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia) and Kennie Leigh Eisenhower (Newport) ended the day tied for 33rd and 37th, respectively.
Third and final round play in the Palmetto Intercollegiate will continue on Tuesday. ETSUBucs.com will have a complete wrap up following the action.

Susan Granger's review of 'Boyhood'
Director Richard Linklater filmed this extraordinary coming-of-age saga every October over 12 consecutive years, chronicling the life of 6-year-old Ellar Coltrane, until he reaches 18.
Given the fictional screen name of Mason (Coltrane), he is first seen in East Texas, playing with neighborhood kids and squabbling with his older sister, Samantha (Linklater's daughter Lorelei).
At the end of this segment, they move to Houston, which means a new home, elementary school and friends. Mason's dad (Ethan Hawke) and mom (Patricia Arquette) are divorced; Mason's always hoping that they'll get back together. But that's not to be. Lovers come and go in his parents' lives.
Problem is: whenever his Mom finds a new man, she marries him -- and one (Marco Perella) turns out to be an abusive alcoholic. By the time Mason turns 15, he has become less stiff on- amera, wryly humorous and far more self-assured. Going off to UT-Austin, he's matured before our eyes.
Linklater epitomizes the independent American filmmaker. From "Dazed and Confused" and "School of Rock" to his Ethan Hawke/Julie Delpy trilogy ("Before Sunrise," "After Sunset," "Before Midnight"), he continues to choose off-beat topics.
Shooting in 35 mm and presenting the story in a linear structure, rather than using flashbacks, Linklater dilutes the melodrama but emphasizes the essential veracity.
In this kind of episodic experiment, Linklater joins Michael Apted, who has documented 14 British youngsters, revisiting them every seven years for his "Up" series. What's unusual is Linklater's substantial ownership. Traditionally, the filmmaker gets points (aka, a percentage of the profits) but sacrifices his copyright once a financier, like IFC Films, becomes the distributor. However, in this case, Linklater chose to relinquish his usual low seven-figure, up-front fee in order to preserve a stake.
He's not unique, however. George Lucas became a billionaire by retaining "Star Wars" merchandising, licensing and sequel rights, while Mel Gibson's self-financed "The Passion of the Christ" reaped hundreds of millions of dollars.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Boyhood," nearly three hours in length, is a naturalistic 9, a bittersweet alternative to studio productions.

A short history and advertisements for Mogul Wagons
Yesterday, I did some research in the genealogy section of the Hopkinsville library for a Pennsylvania lady who is writing a book. A portion of the plot is set in Hopkinsville around 1890-1910, and the rest takes place elsewhere.
While I was looking through the 1897 and 1899 editions of Meacham's City Directory of Hopkinsville, I came across a couple of ads for Mogul Wagons. I photocopied and scanned them, and here they are, for visitors who are seeking information about Mogul Wagons.
Mogul Wagon Company history
A short summary of the Mogul Wagon Company's history appears in Gateway From The Past, Volume II: A Pictorial History of Hopkinsville and Christian County, Ky. Since 1865 by William T. Turner (published in Hopkinsville by Southern Printing, Inc., in 1981). I came across this while doing research for the lady's book, also!
Mr. Turner, our city/county historian, included the following facts in a caption he wrote for a 1909 photograph of the Mogul Wagon factory in Hopkinsville:
- The Mogul Wagon Company was organized in 1871 by J. K. & M. C. Forbes.
- The original factory was located on South Virginia Street between 10th & 11th .
- In 1906, a new factory opened on 21st Street between Harrison and Railroad Beltline.
- The Mogul Wagon Company was incorporated in 1908.
- The types of Mogul wagons included: "farm, log, mountain, platform, spring and dead axle coal and ice wagons, drays, floats and gun carriages." (According to Mr. Turner.)
- A fire on December 28, 1925, destroyed the large factory.
- The remaining inventory of wagons and spare parts were sold by the Forbes Hardware Company through 1951.
- After the factory was rebuilt, the Eastern Dark Fired Tobacco Growers Association purchased it, and it was finally dismantled in 1981.
The original Mogul Wagon factory must have been either on the lot now occupied by BB&T Bank or on the site of the medical building, just north of the War Memorial building on Virginia Street. The 1906 factory must have been located on 21st Street on property that is now owned by the Pennyrile Rural Electric Coop, just across the railroad tracks from Hopkinsville Milling.
on the back of an old building on Main St. in Hopkinsville.
Fire risks at a wagon factory
A wagon factory surely faced a high risk of fire. In the process of manufacturing, a great deal of sawdust and wood debris would have been created. In addition, quantities of lumber would have been warehoused waiting to be used. There was also bark debris from sawing logs, I assume.
The factory would have been as vulnerable to fire as any modern lumberyard or woodworking plant, but it would not have had the benefit of sprinkler systems, smoke alarms, or modern firefighting tools.

This was special. As Jeff Mangum related at the Ogden Theatre Thursday night, he had moved to Denver three times and lived here for a total of about two years. The Neutral Milk Hotel frontman worked on the landmark group's only two full-lengths in the Mile High City. Mangum related anecdotes about sleeping in a boiler room and walking down the stretch of Colfax just outside the front door "every day." Even though each tour date the reclusive and — until recently — non-touring musician is catnip for a ravenous bunch, this show was rarefied and something of a homecoming.
Mangum took the stage in his trademark flannel, a long crop of dark hair sneaking out from beneath a firmly-placed cap. Seated, he played almost entirely Neutral Milk Hotel songs acoustically and solo, as was expected from reports of his shows since his surprising re-emergence. His vocal dexterity, on record and dutifully recreated live, is hard to explain: The crux of Neutral Milk Hotel, his screeches and peaks are like an adolescent child awkwardly yet potently cracking his voice through unforeseen grief.
NMH's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" famously hinges on Anne Frank, yet Mangum made an emotional minefield of comfort to his fans. (It should be noted, however, that some of the uninitiated were spotted last evening, and the mostly acoustic, spare performance was palpably tough to bloom for them.) He's a cult figure and sometimes, like on "Holland, 1945" and "King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1," the audience — singing word for word — drowned out the man on center stage.
Members of the Elephant 6 Collective who had opened the show — including Scott Spillane, Andrew Rieger and Laura Carter — took to the Ogden platform from time-to-time to boost the tunes. "Oh Comely," with trumpets and a slideless trombone behind it, took on its intended raw power. ("Naomi" had the benefit of a cello.) The backing crew most notably stormed into the proceedings (with an accordion, marching band bass drum and tamborine, to boot) as "Two-Headed Boy" wound into "Fool" and the set ended.
Because of his spare set-up, Mangum's lyrics were even more immediate. They are the stuff of odd hallucinations. "Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone" was particularly resonant and appropriate. A man who has been indie music's J.D. Salinger asked for the lights on him to be dimmed and illimunate his salivating company in Denver. "Leave me alone," he sang. "For you know, this isn't the first time."

1. Two Headed-Boy, Pt. 2
2. Holland, 1945
3. Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone

The Diggers' vision of a classless society unfettered by social authority did not, however, prevent the Diggers from collecting money or burning it to make a point and [the death of money] Now! Day arose from an acute need to raise bail money for two favorite Hell's Angels. The atmosphere in San Francisco was more benign in the mid-sixties than it would become later in the decade, even a few policemen tossed money into the open-coffin collection plate, and many of the photographs that capture this day's relative innocence were taken by superb photographer-on-the-spot, Gene Anthony.
Purchase museum-quality fine art prints of rock, blues, jazz, and country music stars by the best photographers in the world.
About Gene Anthony
Thousands of people flocked to the corner of Haight and Ashbury during the Summer of Love, but few saw the unfolding phenomenon as clearly as Gene Anthony did. From his apartment one block up the hill, he witnessed the extraordinary pilgrimage of young people from across the country as they trooped to San Francisco in search of answers, approval and love, and he captured the compelling vignettes through his telling lens. Anthony's photographic talent, subjects and well-deserved acclaim extend far beyond the psychedelic period, but his ability to capture a mood on a face or the essence of an era from a simple street sign was recognized and refined during that time. His photographs have, in turn, become the myriad faces of the Summer of Love.

Pandey, Ojha help Madhya Pradesh to safety
Madhya Pradesh 256 (Bundela 53, Rameez 54, Rajan 45, Pankaj 4-63, Rituraj 4-68) and 200 for 1 (Ojha 102*, Zafar 54) lead Rajasthan 379 (Parida 108, Bist 85, Khatri 47*, Pandey 6-92) by 77 runs
After being outplayed on the first two days in Jaipur, Madhya Pradesh ended the third in a better position by restricting Rajasthan's first-innings lead to 123, and then setting up a strong second innings. They may now escape with a draw, and not suffer outright defeat.
Fast bowler Ishwar Pandey and wicketkeeper-opener Naman Ojha made MP's recovery possible. Rajasthan were dismissed 379 due to Pandey's six-wicket haul, and then Ojha's unbeaten century took MP to 200 for 1 at stumps, ahead by 77. With the green wicket not offering much assistance to the bowlers, and without a quality spinner, Rajasthan may find it difficult to force a result on the final day.
Pandey had taken four wickets on the second day, including those of stand-in captain Vineet Saxena, Ashok Menaria and centurion Rashmi Parida. He claimed two more on the third morning. Resuming at 306 for 6, wicketkeeper Sidhant Yagnik and Madhur Khatri began the day well for Rajasthan, hitting four boundaries in four overs. But then Pandey settled into a nagging line to left-hand batsman Yagnik, who edged one in the ninth over of the day to keeper Ojha.
Before Rituraj Singh could get his eye in, Pandey put in some extra effort, and the additional bounce had Rituraj edging his delivery to Zafar Ali at second slip. Though Khatri, primarily in the side as an offspinner, played an effortless knock, he ran out of partners on 47 when Anand Rajan bowled last man Aniket Choudhury to earn his 100th first-class wicket.
Rajasthan's lead wasn't a small one, especially with more than a day and a half remaining in the game. After a disastrous performance by MP's top order on the opening day, when they were reduced to 71 for 5 in the first session, the openers had to come good to earn one point. Ojha and Ali learnt from their first-innings mistakes to put on 134 before Ali was trapped lbw by Rituraj.
Ojha, however, was the star of the day. In the first innings, he had poked at and edged a delivery that moved away from off stump. This time, Ojha didn't flash his bat outside off for the first hour. He preferred to leave as many balls as he could.
Ojha didn't go into a shell either; he chose the balls he wanted to score off. Soon after he reached his fifty, he went after the part-time spinner Ashok Menaria, hitting two sixes over long-off and cutting to the point boundary. In the next over, however, Ali was dismissed. With Pankaj Singh and Rituraj steaming in, Ojha, batting on 78, defended for the next hour.
Only in the last over of the day, when Khatri was brought on, did Ojha attack again. He stepped out to hit a six over long-off and then swept the next ball through square leg for a boundary to raise his ninth first-class century.
"[Ojha] was terribly disappointed after being dismissed in that manner (in the first innings)," MP coach Mukesh Sahani said. "We had a chat about it. He realised that he hadn't justified his position of being among the senior players in the team by getting out in that manner. It was heartening to see him rectifying it."
Despite playing first-class cricket for 12 years, Ojha has not fulfilled his batting potential "I haven't converted as many starts into hundreds as I should have but over the last few years, I have realised the need for scoring big hundreds and have been working towards it," Ojha said. "Since I came to the Ranji Trophy days after playing the Champions League [for Delhi Daredevils], it took time for me to switch into the first-class mode. But now that I have, I hope I can continue for the rest of the season."
After stumps, most of the MP squad played a game of football until the light faded, unlike other days. Though the team had conceded three points with the first-innings lead, their relieved faces indicated that their primary objective at the start of the penultimate day - to avoid being in a position to concede an outright victory to Rajasthan - had been achieved.
