My Breastfeeding Goals
← Older Post Newer Post →
Goes well with milk and yoghurt as a an easy and filling breakfast. It's good with loads of blueberries and nuts, though slightly too sweet for my tastes.
I love how it's packed into smaller pack so that it'll not lose its freshness when the packaging is opened. The cookies are filled with generous goodies, not too sweet and it's definitely good for mama's tea time snack!
Really yummy and addictive cookies! Although individual packaging seems wasteful if eating this at home, it's useful to bring as a snack on the go (and also to keep you from eating too many at once!)
Definitely help to boost the milk supply. The cookies are rich in taste. Seller is very nice and give samples of the different flavors.
Love the yummy and convenient boost these cookies provide!

Remember me

The Orthodox world is abuzz: "Have the Antiochians changed their minds?" "How will we move forward to renew the Orthodox Church in the USA?"
Clergy and laity alike have raised concerns regarding the future of Orthodox administrative unity in the new lands and the ability for the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops to continue their work as brothers in Christ. Somehow, it seems that unity was an easier topic when we ourselves were disunited; when the Antiochians were divided between two archdioceses in New York and Toledo, when the Greek faithful were in limbo between the Church of Greece and the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and when the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad was not-concelebrating.
I am hard-pressed to find a single moment in my life where I've thought to myself, "we're so disunited." So many monumental moments in my life were defined not by jurisdiction but by the Church as a whole.
After I offered my oration at the Oratorical Festival during the 51st Antiochian Archdiocese Convention in 2013, I was awarded a generous scholarship from the Greek Archdiocese to attend Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. This wonderful scholarship has opened up so many blessings in my life and has introduced me to so many wonderful people, across numerous jurisdictions who have enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined.
When His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios made his annual archpastoral visit to our Holy Cross Chapel for the feast of the Holy Cross, I was humbled to receive the blessing to wear our school cross alongside my brother seminarians. As our President, Fr. Christopher Metropulos, read our names in alphabetical order, each of us approached His Eminence with a prostration and received our cross. Each and every one of us, whether American or Greek, Arab or Russian, received the same cross, inscribed with the words, "In the beginning was the Word."
Many dismiss the question of unity saying, "I have my archdiocese and you have yours," or, "I don't care, because everyone else is uncanonical," these expressions do little to aid Orthodox unity, but rather display that the issue with unity is not from the top (the leadership of the Church), but amongst the faithful. I am reminded of the words of Patriarch Elias IV, of thrice blessed memory, who said, "In spite of ethnic difference we have unity of faith. We have the same dogma, the same doctrine, the same traditions." and, "Most importantly, the faithful in North America must do their part to make independence and unity a reality."
The reminder of brotherhood and humility is so evidently prominent in our Divine Liturgy, nearly every epistle begins with, "brethren," and before we approach the chalice to receive Holy Communion, we remember the words of the thief, "Remember me, O Lord, in thy Kingdom!" The time has come and gone for us as a collective Orthodox faithful, clergy and laity, to serve one another in brotherhood.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Two South Dakota men have been sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison for trafficking fentanyl from Minnesota.
The U.S. attorney's office says 28-year-old Stuart Siecke, of Worthing, and 37-year-old Dean Bourn, of Vermillion, obtained the narcotic from co-conspirators in Minneapolis for distribution in South Dakota. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid drug much more powerful than heroin.
Homeland Security helped in the investigation that led to the two men pleading guilty to drug conspiracy in February.
Siecke was recently sentenced to seven years and three months in prison and Bourn to seven years and four months.

Waconia Girls Rugby Club
The Gryphons
Posted Jun 2/12
Off To State!!
The girls have done very well this season. They won a few and lost a few, and even "won" due to a forfeit. Even though we lost the last game, we are still in high spirits. We are currently in 6th place, but the girls are hoping for a higher placement in State on June 9th. With this weekend being graduation, the girls are hoping that a win at State could be a graduation gift.

Another Win!
The girls won another game tonight against East Metro. That's 2 wins in a row!! All of the girls played extremely well, and there were minimal calls on our team. Only two people got pulled out of the game for injuries, but they did not seem too serious. One bumped head and one black eye. When the other team was pep-talking after we scored, they commented on how we were the hardest team they've played all season! Final score: 29-10

First Win!
Today the girls won their first game of the season! Their game was against Edina, and everyone did really well. It was a beautiful day, and a good amount of people came out to support the Gryphons. The final score was 31-5. Kelly scored two trys, Christine scored two trys, and Linny scored one try. Lindsay also made three of her five conversion kicks. The girls worked and played hard, and it showed and payed off. All of the girls showed great teamwork, and the other team was pretty nice as well. At the picnic after the game, it was one big group of rugby players, and the team lines disappeared. The girls were successful tonight, and will hopefully be in the games to come.

St. John's Tournament
Today the girls participated in the St. John's Tournament. Even though it was cold and rainy, it didn't seem to slow down the girls too much. They played two games; one against Edina and one against Orono. The first game was a close score, and the girls really tried hard. There was few injuries on either team... Just one broken nose on the opposing team. However, during the Orono game, the cold and rain was starting to get to the girls, which didn't mix well with their exhaustion. As hard as they tried, the other team had more energy. They hadn't played at all yet, and it showed. When they scored their only tri, they had a little party on the field. Alex Anderson, who scored the tri, was especially excited. However, at the end of the day, the girls were ready to go home and take a nice long warm shower.

First Rugby Game of the Season!!
Tonight the girls played their first game against Faribault. Tonight they learned an important lesson: Be aggressive. The second half seemed to go a lot better than the first; the girls seemed to know what to expect after playing for the amount of time they had in the first half. Even though the first half didn't go as well as they had planned, they still worked their hardest. We didn't leave the game empty handed though. The other team named Kelly Pingeon player of the game, and everyone on both teams got to know each other and had a good time after the game at the picnic.

The 2012 Season!
On Wednesday, February 8th, the girls will start their first official practice. After the first meeting last week, we found out that we gained a lot of new players. We only lost the girls who graduated last year, but their spots have been filled. The girls are very excited to start this new season!

First Win!
The game last Wednesday against Wayzata was our first win of the season! We won 15-0, and everyone played amazingly. It was also the first game that we played in nice weather. There were no major injuries, and everyone wasn't too horribly bruised. The backs got one of their plays to work very smoothly, and you could see the girls were excited by the way Buffy and Shiloh chest-bumped each other after the play. The next game the girls play is against Fairbault, then its off to State!

The Mud Game!
The game against Hastings on our home turf was the muddiest game we've played this year. Everyone was soaked head to toe in mud, and it didn't really help with the snow that started to fall towards the end of the game. But the snow and muddy ground didn't seem to stop the girls from playing their hardest. The girls were as tough as ever. Sure we tied at nothing, but the girls stopped at nothing to prevent the other team from scoring, and they succeeded. And because it was our first home game, we had a great turnout and a bunch of fans came to cheer on the girls, bundled up in blankets and holding umbrellas. The girls should be proud of what they accomplished, and are well on their way to a win.

Minnetonka Game!
Yesterday the girls played against Minnetonka in their first official game. They lost 25-13. No one got seriously injured; everyone is just bruised and sore. Chaneen got the first tri, and you could tell that she was really excited, then Buffy did really well on kicking it through afterwards. Then everyone made some new friends when we went to eat sandwiches and cookies with the other team. Even though we lost, their spirits are still high; they are just as pumped for next week on April 20 to play against Rogers.

Rogers Tournament!!
This weekend the Rogers Tournament was a really fun time. We lost all four games against Rogers, Hastings, Wayzata, and Mounds View. There weren't too many serious injuries, just a pulled muscle and a kicked face (Kelsey). We were really proud of how well the girls were, especially since this was their first time on an actual field. It was fairly muddy, and the ground was hard, but the girls enjoyed it anyway. One of their favorite parts was sleeping in between the games ;) and snacking on miscellaneous foods.

Practice Outside!!
We've finally started practice outside! The girls have been able to start practicing outside in the parking lot, kicking hard (and avoiding hitting the cars in the parking lot). The snow hasn't fully melted, so the girls can't start practicing on their home turf, but the girls don't seem to mind practicing rucks on mats and doing one-on-one scrums in the gym. The girls also have excited butterflies for their first scrimmage tomorrow in Long Lake, and some of the girls will get to experience their first game.

The Season has Started!!
The 2011 Rugby season has finally started! First practice was on February 6, and it was a huge success. The girls have been looking forward to practices on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights, and they are looking forward to actually getting outside to practice on the field. We had to miss a few practices due to weather, but the girls were ready to go the next practice. The games aren't for a while, but that leave plenty of time to get in shape for the first big game!

Safety equipment can reduce the risk of airport accidents
Workplace injuries and costly damage to equipment could be eliminated with on-board safety systems for airport vehicles. Emily Hardy, a safety expert at Brigade Electronics UK, explains how technology can help.
Global air travel has never been more popular. More than four billion passengers take to the skies every year and at busy times, more than 200,000 flights are completed every day. Add to this the multi-billion pound cargo freight industry and it's not surprising that airports are some of the busiest places in the world.
At any one time, an airport can host a variety of vehicles, including trucks carrying freight to load on to aircraft, baggage carts, catering trucks, passenger transport buses and heavy plant vehicles. These vehicles operate at all hours of the day and night, often in adverse weather conditions.
In the workplace, there are multiple hazards, from slips and trips to lifting injuries. One of the main risks is being struck by a vehicle. Indeed, nearly half of injuries at airports are caused by collisions with moving vehicles.
Concourse hazards
The types of accidents that can happen at airports include:
● Pedestrians and objects being struck due to vehicle blind spots.
● Operation of electrically-powered vehicles is virtually silent, making it difficult for pedestrians to notice them approaching.
● Inability to see pedestrians/co-workers due to adverse weather and nighttime conditions.
● Reversing accidents.
● Workers wearing ear defenders unable to hear approaching vehicles.
● Pedestrians disorientated by multiple tonal vehicle alarms and/or tonal alarms masking the sound of other approaching vehicles.
On-board safety solutions
Advances in technology mean that all of the above situations could be prevented with on-board vehicle safety systems.
Since its invention in the 1970s, all large vehicles, such as lorries are required to emit a reversing alarming as a basic safety mechanism. However, research has shown that the traditional 'tonal' alarm many of us are accustomed to hearing is not always effective
Workers wearing ear defenders may not hear it and it's difficult to discover which direction the sound is coming from. The new generation of reversing alarms include Brigade's own White Sound® frequencies, which are easier to hear and dissipate quickly - vital for a bustling airport and ideal for all types of vehicles and equipment.
Radar detection systems can help to minimise damage and prevent injuries caused by collisions by alerting the driver to the distance between vehicles and obstacles, whether moving or stationary. Such technology is suitable for all conditions, including rain and snow, and is ideal for vehicles and large machinery manoeuvring at low speeds
Meanwhile, 360-degree cameras will completely eliminate the perennial problem of blind spots by providing a bird's-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings. This system can be used on a variety of airport vehicles, including vans, coaches and catering trucks.
As airports continue to get busier, safety remains a number one priority. By utilising the latest vehicle safety technology, operators will be making a positive to enhancing standards and minimising deaths and injuries.

Magic of chess tactics by karsten Muller! !
muthukumar001 wrote:Hi guys...if anyone have this PDF pls upload.....
Chess is 99% tactics. So to be a good chess player, you have to spend a lot of your training time on tactics. Although basic tactics are explained in a number good books, complicated tactics – the kind that separate tournament winners from the pack – require intuition, imagination and precision. The Magic of Chess Tactics helps you develop these qualities. Aimed primarily at aspiring chess players from club to master level who seriously want to improve their chess understanding, The Magic of Chess Tactics provides examples selected for both their entertainment and instructional value – as well as detailed explanations and exercises. Claus Dieter Meyer, chess author and FIDE Master, is a well known analyst and professional chess trainer. Karsten M?ller is an International Grandmaster and co-author, along with Frank Lamprecht, of the highly acclaimed Secrets of Pawn Endings and Fundamental Chess Endings. His popular monthly column Endgame Corner appears right here at ChessCafe.com. "I have come to realise that there are basically two types of chess tactics. First, simple kinds of combinations you need to know when you start to play chess. I still believe they are the basis of everything. Things that computers see in a half-second. But the book is not about them. For those simple tactics, old Koblentz books are more than enough. This book is about *complicated* chess tactics, the kind you sometimes need hours of analysis just to discover the truth of the position. It's hard to see and calculate perfectly on the board; one needs intuition, imagination and precision. "It's not easy to develop these qualities but I believe that the present book, full of examples and high quality analyses, will help you achieve that objective. "Welcome to the magical world of tactics!" –From the Foreword by Alexei Shirov

Where'd Doug go?
Well, I'll tell you where I went. A few months ago I told myself I wasn't going to post about anything pessimistic. Maybe I'm breaking that rule now, but a few people caught me on Facebook so I thought I'd let you all know how I'm doing. Here goes.
Around the 4th of July, my knee had a pretty huge relapse. The cause could be from a slight increase of mileage while running with my brace, or walking a mile or two without my brace. Regardless, it flared up bad. I started seeing an orthopedic surgeon and got an MRI. The diagnosis a combination of runners knee (chronomalasia - something like that) and quad tendonosis (which is like tendonitis' evil sister). I've done my research and recovery time can take anywhere from months to years to something I'd rather not think about. Hopefully the former rather than the later two.
Since then I've started yet another round of physical therapy, under the guidance of my orthopedic surgeon. We're trying various things from stretching and strengthening, to taping my knee, injections, and ionto. Some of it helps.
Last Friday I was feeling great and decided to try walking to class without my brace (a little under a mile), and have been regretting it since. That sorta puts this situation in perspective, I think.
Well, that's where I've been. I didn't want to post too much pessimistic lately so I just didn't post, but there's the update a few people decided to drag out of me.
Regardless of how poorly the running front has been, the Zafra quote to the right are still words to live by.
So, how are you guys doing?

Hi Doug
Man. I am so sorry that you have been going through so much. I really had no idea that it had gotten that bad and I'm sorry. I've seen how you run and it is a beautiful thing and as young as you are I truly believe you will be back running someday.
Give yourself a break and some time to heal.
I wish you all the best and know that you have a friend in Michigan.

That's crappy. (Understatement of the year for you, eh?) I echo what Bill and Marcy are saying. I DO think that eventually you'll be able to get back I know it sucks. Just keep the physio going and listen to your ortho surgeon. Or else we'll all come over there and beat you with sticks.

Today a very strong rider on my team quit a race. He said, "I don't know what happened. I don't know what to tell my coach. I don't know what to tell my wife. So much of my self-worth is tied up in this."
I think it's important for you to keep updating through this injury. We all run and and most of us get injured and have to stop. There is more to your optimistic spirit than a good workout and physical progress. People need to hear the stories of others who struggled, made it through, and came to a new point of balance in their lives.
Be true to your story. It's important. And we don't just read this blog because you run fast.
Healing thoughts,

Oh crap, Doug. That just sucks. I'm so sorry. I know how much you love the work out and adrenaline and all that. It sounds like you are coping well though. I have to tell you that I have been going through something similar and long standing. The mileage has dropped and I am not getting any better. My next stop is probably an MRI too. PT isn't working blindly (not sure what we should be working on). At least you know what you are dealing with and can work accordingly. Have faith and keep working on it. Email me if you want to commiserate.

It's been no secret that Rob Astorino has been planning to seek public office again.
The former Westchester County executive and one-time Republican nominee for governor made it official Thursday, June 25, when he announced on YouTube that he was challenging Democratic Sen. Pete Harckham of South Salem for his seat in the state Senate's 40th District.
The district includes parts of Putnam and Dutchess counties, and the towns of Somers, North Salem, Yorktown and Lewisboro in Westchester.
Astorino was defeated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the 2014 gubernatorial elections. In 2017, after serving two turns as county executive, he went for a third term but lost to Democratic challenger George Latimer.
The father of three went on to work for Cardinal Timothy Dolan's delegate to the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, a Catholic philanthropic organization that serves the poor. He also has been a paid national commentator for CNN.
"New York is in turmoil right now, and there's a critical need for firm, measured voices in the state Legislature," he said. "Peaceful protesters should be respected. We should encourage thoughtful dialogue and all sides of a debate must be heard. Violence, rioting, vandalism, and those seeking unrest and anarchy, however, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
In his statement, the candidate also called for an independent investigation of nursing home deaths caused by COVID-19, an issue for which his former rival's administration has been taking a lot of flak.
Harckham, who had no Democratic challengers, said he welcomed Astorino's candidacy Thursday, but was confident "that voters will send me back to Albany in November because they are even more ready this year to say 'no' to Trump and surrogates like his close friend Rob Astorino."
Harckham said he was elected to the state post "because voters rejected Donald Trump's divisive and reckless politics."
The senator said he was "deeply involved" with relief efforts related to the pandemic, so he planned to continue to "focus on safeguarding and helping our residents for now."
Harckham then listed some of his accomplishments during the last two years. Those included securing "record-high funding for our schools without raising taxes," passing "critical legislation to protect our environment" and delivering "over $8 million in state-funded infrastructure investments to municipalities."
He also said he helped provide "vital funding to our veterans, seniors and first responders."
As part of the Senate majority, he said he helped pass legislation protecting reproductive health care and adult victims of childhood abuse. He also spoke of the enactment of "common-sense gun safety measures" and the making of voting during elections "easier and more accessible."
Harckham, chair of the Senate's Committee on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, claimed to have "doubled treatment times, reduced costs and eliminated barriers to life-saving treatment."
Astorino, a 53-year-old lifelong Westchester resident, said that, as county executive, he submitted eight straight budgets without a tax increase.
He also claimed credit for creating a bipartisan governing coalition that achieved "concrete results" in county government.
Astorino said the state "is being challenged as perhaps never before, and it's imperative that taxpayers be vigorously defended in the coming legislative term."
"There are many in Albany already calling for dramatic new tax hikes, and middle-class families can't afford to pay a penny more. Without firm, common-sense voices at the table to push back against tax hikes—not to mention ill-conceived criminal justice blunders like cashless bail that's putting dangerous criminals back onto our streets—the steady flow of families abandoning New York could become a torrent. We must not let that happen," his statement continued.
Among the highlights of Astorino's inaugural campaign video, titled "Rebuild," was his contention that New York's "troubles didn't start with the coronavirus lockdown." He blamed the state's "record deficits" and high taxes for causing 1 million New Yorkers to move away in the past 10 years.
Astorino said his administration helped create more than 44,000 new jobs, opened up child care slots for working parents, and earned Westchester "the highest credit rating of any county in the state."
It did it, he claimed, "by bringing people together developing ground-breaking programs that eliminated veterans' homelessness and the Fatherhood Initiative that helped at-risk dads get back into the lives of their children."
He also spoke of term limits and "tough new ethics laws."
The candidate hopes to "jump-start" the economy by "reducing taxes, reining in excessive spending, and eliminating the regulations that do little but kill jobs and ingenuity."
Schools can be improved, he said, "by putting parents and teachers back in charge."
He also called for strengthening "public safety by repealing the reckless cashless bail law and by improving our police—not defunding or abolishing them."

There are times when we are all in a situation where the silence gets awkward and we run out of small talk. The times when the weather is not interesting to talk about, nor is the taste of food. How do you make the conversation keep going then? These facts will come in handy. This list of facts that can serve as a perfect icebreaker in various situations with people. Did you know that dogs poop in alignment with the Earth's magnetic field, or that the "hash" now synonymously known as the "hashtag" is actually called an "octothorpe?" Here are more such interesting facts.
And don't forget to read the first part of this list here.
1. There was a time in the 19th century when ketchup was turned into pills and sold as medicine in the United States.
In the 19th century, it was claimed that ketchup pills could cure indigestion and even jaundice! Two more diseases of rheumatism and diarrhea were also claimed to be cured by ingesting ketchup pills. In 1834, Dr. John Cooke Bennet added tomatoes to ketchup which was, until then, a mixture of fish or mushrooms. When he introduced it as a product to the United States, he also added vitamins and anti-oxidants to it. He also employed a man named Archibald Miles who turned the ketchup into pills that were sold as a medicine.
Soon after the "ketchup pills" were introduced on the market, others began selling their own version of these to make money. But some of the counterfeit pills were just laxatives without any tomatoes or Bennet's vitamins. The people who made the counterfeit pills made elaborate claims about how their pills could cure scurvy and also mend the bones! Because of these hollow claims, by 1850, the ketchup medicine empire had collapsed. People called their bluff, and with the copycats, even the original pills went down the drain. (source)
2. There is a difference between a "graveyard" and a "cemetery." A graveyard adjoins a church; a cemetery doesn't.
Most of us use the words "graveyard" and "cemetery" synonymously, but there is a difference between the two. In the old days, people were buried in a space adjoining the church, and the rich and the noblemen were buried in crypts below the church. These spaces are known as "graveyards." But as the population increased with time, these burial grounds became full and new burial grounds that were not adjoining churches had to be used for burials. The burial grounds that are not adjoining a church are called "cemeteries." Now you know. (source)
3. Biologically, a salmon is more related to a camel than it is to a hagfish.
Evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who won the Nobel Prize, Stephen Jay Gould, deduced after a lifetime of study that "there is no such thing as a fish." He stated that fishes were actually different classes of aquatic vertebrates that were not related to each other. So, an analytical observer would say that a salmon is actually more closely related to a camel or any other mammal or reptile or other classes of vertebrates than a hagfish. The fact that the salmon and the hagfish both live in the sea does not mean that they are related to each other. A camel and a salmon both belong to the same class (Animalia) and same phylum (Chordata), and their ancestors are more closely related than the ancestors of the hagfish and the salmon. The phylum is further divided into seven classes of vertebrae. Hagfish falls under the "Agnatha" category of vertebrates that were the primitive vertebrates that originated 500 to 600 million years ago. The "Osteichthyes " is the category of vertebrates where salmon belongs that first appeared almost 300 to 400 million years ago in the Devonian Age. And camels belong to the "Mammalian" category of vertebrates that first appeared around 200 million years ago. (1,2)
4. According to research, it takes only 0.2 seconds to fall in love.
Recent research conducted by Dr. Stephanie Ortigue suggests that it takes only one-fifth of a second to fall in love. This gives scientific backing to the concept of "love at first sight." When a person falls in love, 12 areas of their brain are affected. Hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, adrenaline, and vasopressin are released. And this happens very quickly making a person feel "high" or "in love." This activity in the brain stimulates the heart and the stomach which explains why we feel something in the heart and butterflies in our stomach while in love. So, the next time you are in a public place and you instantly feel attracted to someone, it could be that in just 0.2 seconds, you fell in love. (source)
5. Popcorn has been around for thousands of years. The remnants of popcorn that were found in Mexico date back to 3,600 BCE.
A tub of popcorn and a good movie are the definition of time well-spent for some. Popcorn, which seems like something of the modern age, dates back to at least 3,600 BCE. Around 10,000 years ago in Mexico, corn was first domesticated. Archaeologists have found remnants of popcorn dating back to that age in Mexico. The word "popped corn" first appeared in print only in 1848 in the Dictionary of Americanisms. Its popularity soared in the 1890s after the invention of Charles Cretor's steam-powered popcorn maker. In the Great Depression, popcorn was something people ate a lot because it was inexpensive, available at 5-8 cents a bag, and the corn business helped farmers survive when other crops failed. During World War II when sugar rationing was imposed and candy was not as easily available, popcorn was a popular substitute. (source)
6. If the right hormonal levels are produced in a male body, men can lactate.
Science says all male and female mammals have mammary glands. In women, when the mammary glands mature, they produce milk. A spike in the hormone prolactin leads to lactation. In men, the mammary glands do not really mature to that level, and usually, they don't naturally produce the level of hormones needed for lactation. But if the right hormones are produced in a male body, artificially or naturally, men can lactate.
Artificially, lactation can be produced through medical intervention and injection of prolactin and estrogen. Some drugs like the antipsychotic Thorazine that was popular in the 20th century is known to make men lactate as a side effect. Naturally, lactation in men is rare but possible. For example, during World War II, thousands of men who were held as prisoners in the Japanese prisoner of war camps or Nazi concentration camps, lactated. This was because of starvation and malnourishment. Due to the starvation, the hormone-producing pituitary gland and the liver that destroys the hormones slow down. Later, when some food is provided, the glands recover much faster than the liver resulting in a spike in the hormonal levels, and ultimately, lactation. Alternatively, a tumor on the pituitary gland can cause lactation as it causes the gland to secrete higher levels of milk-producing hormones. (source)
7. Before the invention of color TV, people dreamt in black and white 75% of the time. Today, those aged 25 or below almost never dream in monochrome.
Do you dream in color or are your dreams monochromatic? A study published in 2008 found that childhood exposure to black and white television impacted the dreams of a person. Those who were aged 55 and above dreamt in monochrome 25% of the time, and those who were aged 25 or below rarely dreamt in black and white. But a study published in the 1940s had different results. All the people who were part of the study stated that they dreamt in black and white 75% of the time and "rarely" or "never" saw color in their dreams. What we see has a significant impact on our subconscious mind and so our dreams. (source)
8. Lego is the largest tire manufacturer in the world.
Whenever someone says "Lego," all you can think of are the colorful toy building blocks that are uber-popular. Who would think that the toys would become so popular that Lego's miniature tires will make it the largest tire manufacturer in the world? In 2011, Lego produced 318 million tires as opposed to Bridgestone who produced 190 million tires and came in second place.
They first began manufacturing tires in 1962. The smallest tire was produced in 1969 and was 14.4 millimeters in diameter. In 2000, Lego produced its largest tire that had a diameter of 107 millimeters. In 2012, Lego was awarded the Guinness World Record for the "largest tire manufacturer in the world." The Lego factories produce tires every day and work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (1,2)
9. If someone gives opinions on things they know nothing about, they're an "ultracrepidarian."
"Ultracrepidarian" is a noun that has its origins in an ancient Greek fable. There once lived a Greek painter named Apelles. One day, he overheard a cobbler criticizing the way he painted feet in his works. As a reply to the cobbler, Apelles told him not to judge something that was beyond his sphere of knowledge. Although the exact phrase has been lost in antiquity, Apelles used the words, "ultra crepidam" which translate into "beyond the sole." The word "ultracrepidarian" is used to define a person who opines about something he has no knowledge of. (source)
10. T-shirts were originally marketed to unmarried men who had trouble sewing buttons back on collared shirts on their own.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of many famous novels, used the word "t-shirt" for the first time in his book The Side of Paradise in 1920. Long before that, in the 20th century, t-shirts were almost never worn in public or worn as underwear. Today, in the 21st century, we cannot imagine comfortable clothing without t-shirts, and now it is gender neutral. The t-shirt has its origins in something known as the "union suit" which was patented in 1868. It was all-in-one underwear that did a good job of keeping workers warm in a cold climate but failed when the climate was hot. To beat the heat, the workers cut the suit into two parts creating "long johns" which became very popular. But these "pullovers" that were created were not supposed to be worn in public. In fact, in Havana, it was illegal to do so in 1890.
In 1905, the Coopers Underwear Company began marketing these pullovers as "t-shirts" to unmarried men calling them "bachelor undershirts." Their advertisements would read "No safety pins – no buttons – no needle – no thread." They also stated that these undershirts would be more durable and require less maintenance. A few years later, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army incorporated these undershirts as a part of their uniform. The rage caught on and never died out. (source)
11. To travel from North Korea to Norway, you only have to go through one country.
When we look at the political map of the world in a glance we can see a number of countries like Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Finland, Sweden, Russia, China, etc., are located between the countries of North Korea in the east and Norway in the north. But when we look closely, we can see that one can technically travel the distance of 7,513 kilometers between Norway and North Korea by passing through only one country—Russia. Yes, Russia is that huge. A small part of land connects Norway to Russia and also North Korea to Russia that can be observed by zooming in on the map.
It is interesting to know that neither country has an embassy in the other. North Korea had an embassy in Oslo, Norway, but it no longer exists. Relations between the two countries were strained because of Norway's alignment against North Korea during the Korean War of 1951, but as of today, they have improved considerably. (1,2)
12. Crows do not forget a face, and they can keep grudges too, holding tightly to a negative association like humans.
If a crow pooped on you when you were on your way to an important meeting, chances are you wronged it years ago. Crows can remember the faces of the humans who threatened them years ago. In a study, it was found that the crows remember the faces of their abductors. They would taunt and dive-bomb their abductors as a response. In the study, researchers used two masks. One was named the "caring mask" worn by the researchers when they fed the 12 male crows, and another was named the "threatening mask" which was worn by the researches while capturing the crows. In both the cases, glucose fluid was injected into the bodies of crows and the effects were measured using brain scanning. Different areas of the crows' brains were active depending on which mask-bearer they saw. These findings point at how the crows do not forget the negative association, like humans. (source)

Finding You AgainBy Darcy Lundeen
Synopsis: Maggie Demarco thought she'd have the perfect wedding…until the groom backed out without even saying goodbye. So she packs a bag and flees to the town where she grew up to heal and prepare for the rest of her life.
Eric Holt is surprised when he learns that Maggie's back in town. He's never forgotten the hours he spent in high school introducing her to the joys of sex. Of course, he's also never forgotten the pain of her rejection. But he's still willing to help her recapture the sexual mojo she lost waiting for her AWOL groom, and he proposes a no-strings-attached affair to prove how desirable she still is.
Neither expect the unintended consequences, when old hurts resurface, new problems arise, and simple sex threatens to turn into the craziest complication of all: love.
Guest Review
There were times when I thought that I was going to mess myself I laughed so hard. Left at the Alter, Nagging parents, Pushy Best-friend, and then a summer of horrible students.
Yep, it has it all and then some. By no means was this quite what I expected when I selected this story to review. Yes, I knew I would get a rekindle of a past love but it was so much more than I ever dreamed and all in a wonderfully delicious way.

Animal hat
Heh--seeing this little cartoon, I had to think of G-Man:
The boy gets an endless kick out of putting progressively more enormous things (e.g. a new panda pillow that's bigger than his torso) upon his head, looking at us with a smile, and proudly declaring simply, "Hat!" 🙂

The Famous Dry Colorado Powder
Can you think of anything better than skiing or snowboarding Colorado's famous deep dry powder? Come and experience some of the best snow in the world while training towards internationally recognised ski and snowboard qualifications. Conveniently located in the central Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Copper Mountain is just 75 miles west of Denver and the international airport. Driving through the famous "Rockies" you reach the altitude of 9,712 feet/2,926 meters, where Copper sits in a blanket of snow with over 282 inches/710 centimeters of average snowfall. With 22 lifts and 2,450 acres/985 hectares of terrain to play in, Copper is one of Colorado's largest resorts, another reason we base our ski and snowboard instructor training courses here.
Once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity
Unique to Snow Trainers is the opportunity to spend a day in a life of an instructor. You'll get to join the Copper Ski and Ride School instructors at morning line-up, watch their lessons, join them for lunch with the kids, and then follow them through the procedures as they wrap up at the end of the day. You will gain valuable, first-hand experience about what day-to-day life as an instructor instructor involves. And throughout your entire stay with us you will also have access to the employee cafeteria to buy discounted lunches, saving you money and making you really feel like one of the team at Copper.

Copper has a great town right at the base of the mountain with lots of excellent restaurants and plenty of night life. If you would like to continue your progression, check out Woodward, an amazing indoor freestyle training facility with foam-pits and trampolines and open until 10:00pm. Woodward is the only one of its kind with the unique ability to practice indoors and then take it to the park outdoors. Copper is also in the center of Summit County, which hosts other resorts such as Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Loveland, and Breckenridge. This means there is plenty of entertainment on a free, short bus ride.
Comfortable Accommodation
Located in Frisco (between Copper and Breckenridge), your accommodation is fully furnished and within walking distance to multiple restaurants, bars, and shops. Or if you would just like to take a hike on your day off, Frisco is located on the banks of Lake Dillon with picturesque, breathtaking views.

Kin Seeker (Book One of Dragon Calling) by N.R. Eccles-Smith
When he awakens he doesn't know where he is or who he is. That might be less confusing if everyone who sees him didn't run as soon as he emerges from his cave. He knows he's an animal and he's big, but why is everyone so scared?
The author graciously gave me a copy of this book to read for review (thank you). It has been published and you can get a copy in either ebook or print form.
This is written for middle graders. It has lots of action, a large variety of creatures, and lots of friendship and bravery abound. It was the dragon that captured my attention but the way the story developed gave me much more to be happy about.
When he realizes he's a dragon and a ghost reminds him of his quest, he sets out on his way. He runs into all kinds of fascinating creatures, including a unicorn. She's helping him get to the land of his kin. They are no longer alive but that's where his quest is sending him. Along the way they meet monsters, make new friends and even find a flying tree. This book makes you use your imagination and I found it great fun!
To give you an idea of just who you might meet reading this book, look at this trailer on YouTube.
This is the first book in the series and it's the beginning of a grand adventure. His enemies have found out he's alive and they will be coming after him. He might not remember the past but he's figuring out the future. I'm wondering what the next book will bring...

My twin 80's have the modern pack half moon mount. My soon to be ready 100's will be getting a harness from Alan. So will be slotting the bands for the harness soon.
I use either my Seatec horse collar or a DR Rec wing with 45 pounds of lift. The other wing I have used is an old Seatec Seahorse wing that I split to allow a wider center platform to accept double tanks. I bought the DR Rec wing after those experiments.9fingers wrote:Nem, I would love to hear in more detail what size double tanks and wings you find works...
Quote: I users DR doubles wing and a old Seatec that I split the inner section so it will spread to accept small double tanks.
I've got a double-tank/double-hose project I'm trying to sort out.
I'll going to PM in case you miss this.
Cheers, Tim
I think that the top band issue of being too high on the tank shoulders might be solved by just lowering the top bands and drilling a new, lower hole on the back plate. Is there any reason that wouldn't work other than the regulator maybe hitting the back plate? Could you just modify the top of the back plate to accommodate the reg? Or is all that pointless if you aren't diving with doubles anyway?Nemrod wrote:
....The modern bent doubles plates are as good at carrying doubles as they are horrid with a single tank. The only thing is they force a high tank position especially when used with a double hose regulator. And, when the tank is positioned as low as one might like it, leaving the regulator issue aside, the top band falls of the tank shoulder.
So, the short answer is I have not solved the doubles rig and after busting my leg, I have no need for doubles.

Luke 22:32-43
32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death." 34 Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."
35 And he said to them, "When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing." 36 He said to them, "But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. 37 For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For what is written about me has its fulfillment." 38 And they said, "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough."
39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation." 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. (ESV)

Sent to you by moya via Google Reader:
My dating experiences, which I chronicled in a prior post, have a sparked a range of conversations that for both better and worse, I did not anticipate. In light of several misreadings of my post, both in comments on the CFC blog and in this recent response by Sai Grundy, I want to make a few observations.
Feminism tells us that the personal is political. Therefore, feminism is a useful frame for helping me to make sense of the gender politics that may be at play in my dating life. When a card-carrying feminist goes on a date, it is a feminist issue, maybe a micro-level one, but a feminist issue nonetheless. In my facetious blaming of feminism, I simply meant that the confidence which it instills in women concerning their intellect and the often radical politics it causes us to espouse, can very often throw a monkey wrench in one's dating game.
Feminism is not a zero-sum game. Who said our politics were so narrow that we can only speak about sexuality, when responding to the injustice of sexual harassment? A discussion of my dating life in no way undercuts or delegitimizes the struggle of any sister who has ever been inappropriately approached, talked to, or touched. Suggesting any such thing is shoddy argumentation at best and intellectually and socially irresponsible at worst.
Black feminism says that lived experience matters. So I have a serious problem with fellow feminists who reject the validity of my experience (and that of so many others who responded), simply because it doesn't match their own. The insidious nature of patriarchy will find a feminist soldier like Sai Grundy giving men the benefit of the doubt and defending them no less, while rejecting a sister's testimony of her own experience. Patriarchal hegemony at work. In fact, the statement "no man in the history of heterosexuality" has ever not bagged a woman because she is too smart is bombastic in its level of presumption. What Sai has unwittingly done is reify the knowledge structures of patriarchy by giving validity and universality to heterosexual male behavior, even when there's a sista (a few of us in fact,) saying, "Sis, it just ain't so." But whatever. I'm not in the business of revoking feminist cards.
By way of example, here's an almost direct (it was in February, so forgive me if it's a little hazy) quote of apology from my last boyfriend: "I can be insecure sometime. I'm not used to dating women like you. You're smart. You have opinions and you can back them up. I would normally be friends with a girl like you, but not date you. I'm used to being the one who's achieved more in the relationship. But this time, I'm with a girl who's better than me." He had two masters degrees, was a teacher, and I was proud of and with him. And of course there are the conversations over many years with several homeboys who would say, "I can see how you could intimidate a man. There's nothing wrong with you. But you could definitely intimidate a brother." And finally, there's the quote from Mr. 5 Hour Ice-Cream himself , "I could see how a brother who had achieved a lot and then met you might not think he could pull you. I mean he worked hard and overcame a lot to get to where he is. And then he meets you, and you've achieved more."
So let me be honest: My feelings are slightly hurt. Not at all the dudes who commented and didn't get it. Not with the anti-feminist chicks who don't get it. But with the feminist sisters who should've gotten it but didn't, with these seemingly well-informed sisters who would rather conclude that I had whack game, was too arrogant, or simply wasn't the object of dude's attraction, than to consider that the post was representative of a dating pattern, not a singular experience. A true feminist knows that no one person's experience of dating is representative. Mine included. I am truly disappointed that this post and some of its commenters find it reasonable to prioritize and valorize their dating experiences over my own, leaving me to conclude that something must be wrong with me. If I wanted to hear rhetoric like that I could have read some Steve Harvey and just gone to church.

Papercutting all over the world
English - Papercutting
German - Scherenschnitte ( sher-en-schnit-uh )
Dutch - Knippen
Polish - Wycinanki ( Vee-chee-non-kee )
Japanese- Monkiri ( Mon-kee-ree )
Chinese - Chien-chih ( Jian-jeh )
Turks - "ka 'ti"
Indian - Sanjhi
Ukraine - vytynanky
Mexican - Papel picado
I recommend " The Book of Paper Cutting- A Complete Guide to the Techniques-With More Than 100 Project Ideals", by Chris Rich. It has a great history of papercutting through the years. Besides the projects it has some beautiful artwork from many different accomplished papercut artist.
Scherenschnitte = Papercutting : What is it?
Scherenschnitte, which literaly means "scissor cutting" in German, is an old world craft. It is folk art, it is a pasttime, it's a hobby, a business, and something to create and admire. Papercutting evolved right alongside the invention of paper around A.D. 200 in China. Many styles of papercutting are found in different countries. Immigrants from Germany and Switzerland brought the art of scherenschnitte to Pennsylvania in the late 17th century. Papercutting is design and symmetry. It's collage and asymmetry. It's decorative and or functional. It's Polish roasters and ribbons, German valentines and frakturs, Danish fairy tails, Jewish mizrahs, Chinese lanterns, and French silhouettes. It is black and white or colorful. It's paper doll chains and snowflakes. It's religious documentations, birth records and marriage certificates. Papercutting in all its various forms is an ancient art, a life recorder, and a constant pleasure.

A sweet, sleeping Skeletor.
Last night, as usual, Skeletor burst into our room around two in the morning, and jumped headlong into bed with us. This is so normal, neither I nor Captain Gingerbeard even moved. However, something kind of special happened this morning when Skeletor woke up. He opened his eyes, yawned and proceeded to tell me about the nightmare he had. He described his sisters as zombies, skeletons sitting in chairs and having tea parties, and a whole monster house. When he finished his story, I did my best caring, consoling mommy routine.
"Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry you had a bad dream," I said, as I caressed his hair lovingly.
But then I looked more closely at his face. He was smiling. He was more than smiling, even, he was grinning from ear to ear. Because my child was not describing a nightmare. He was describing what seemed to be one of the best dreams of his life. And, I was touched that he wanted to share it with me, as best he could.
We are new to this whole crazy world of developmental disorders and doctors and therapists. But, we are learning. In fact, we pretty much learn something new about our son and his condition every day. But, today's little peek into Skeletor's world seemed even more intimate than usual. I can't explain it. I can't put it into words. All I can say is that I am thankful for that shared moment with my son this morning. Even though he pushed his tiny, Flinstone feet into my back all night long.

MeVu ICO – Peer-to-Peer Sports Betting
Sports betting. It's a multi-billion dollar global industry that is, unfortunately still shrouded in a bit of grey zone.
If you've seen, heard or read about gambling on the Know Your ICO Show (yes, we've got an interview on this topic) you'll know that gambling is a massive industry. Sports betting is part of gambling – and is arguably one of the largest niche's in the gambling world outside of direct gambling games.
But even in green-lit countries where sports betting is legal, you encounter a wide range of challenges. From sports-books running on centralized servers, to no recourse for consumers if a payout is not made, to no ability to really bet against your peers – the industry is operating on a very outdated process.
Think of the old movies – with sports bookies taking bets on paper and running odds in an old smoke filled room. While it's not exactly like that – it's close.
And this is the opportunity that MeVu sees.
Join myself Cahill (sounds like K-Hill) as I chat with Kelvin and Tim, both Co-Founders from MeVu
In Part 1 we cover more than the basic questions, as I just went ahead and asked some of my Part 2 questions. We get into:
- where the idea came from, and why they decided to jump into this arena
- why they decided to use Ethereum (Part 2 question typically)
- how long the team has known each other (Part 2 question typically)
- data behind sports betting, and the niche they've chosen to tackle
- understanding spots books, I had no idea what they were all about
- and much much more…
In Part 2 we cover
- the differentiating factor between MeVu and prediction markets
- why bets can be placed in Ether compared to using the MeVu tokens
- why their platform is more similar to Uber than a betting platform
- what key lessons they've learned from advisors
- and much much more…
Hope you enjoy the interview!

Sri Lanka's match-winning left-arm spinner Rangana Herath said that the one over he bowled at the end of the third day confirmed that his side would have an outside chance of winning.
"Yesterday I bowled one over and I managed to get turn and bounce. That one over made the difference to open the bowling with me today," said Herath who spun Sri Lanka to an astonishing 50-run win taking a career-best 4 for 15 off 11.3 overs.
Herath was a late replacement in the team for key spinner Muttiah Muralitharan who was forced to pull out due to a knee injury. Herath was playing premier league cricket in the Staffordshire League in England when he received a late call to join the team and barely 24 hours after arriving in Galle he was drafted into the XI.
What a spell he produced on the fourth day, capturing the wickets of overnight batsmen Mohammad Yousuf and Salman Butt in his first over of the day and later returning to wipe off the tail.
"Although I was playing in the UK I had informed the national selectors that I was available for selection," Herath said after picking up his first Man-of-the-Match award. "I had my mind set to play in the Test no sooner I was asked to return to Colombo. I came to the Test with a positive frame of mind.
"Each time I go to play league cricket I inform the selection committee that I am always available for the national team," 31-year-old Herath said. "I didn't think that I would be called up to play in this series. But I am happy that I got the chance to play in the Test and prove myself.
"Normally Asian batsmen are very good playing spin. I have done well against Pakistan previously and this time I thought I can do the same."
Herath has always lived in the shadows of the great Muralitharan, but whenever he has been given the opportunity he has grabbed it. Tuesday was one of them, when he bowled his team to a great victory. Unfortunately for Herath he couldn't get his first five-for in an innings. He ended up with four wickets for the fifth time in his career. "I thought I could get five wickets in this Test but I wasn't able to. I hope to do so in the future."
