At the end of the day, we all benefit when the best capable is in charge of something that grows, provides and nurtures; likewise we all suffer, when the opposite occurs.  The ‘Emperors with no clothes’ might think he’s dressed the finest silk, or he/she’s got a right to put booty in your face; the results are similar, respectively: Em-bare-assing or Dis ass ter.

Organization slams ‘Time’ breastfeedi… JPost - Health & Science

Parenting, Science, Environment, UncommonsenseVsCommononsense

A great read, for anyone who ever considers having children.  My dad, a pediatrician, used to ask the salespeople coming into his office presenting samples, ‘You mean, you want me to give out this garbage?’  They stopped coming.  My dad would not offer any suggestions that I knew of about ‘formulas’; I think he suggested they go to another doctor, never recommending one who would dispense the ‘garbage’.

So read this article and understand that healthy ‘attachment’ to a mom and longer term breastfeeding is great.  I concur, my daughter asked for ‘apple juice’, and when she couldn’t get it from mom, she was very happy to get it from the refrigerator at about 2.5 years old.

One thing that they don’t cover; my dad recommends ‘Nothing But Breastmilk’ for the first 6 months.  That means you have to supply a lot, and pumping and freezing a great idea for those who can trust baby to a grandparent or caregiver.  Warn them that if they supplement with anything, the infant’s demand will decrease, bowel movements will increase and mom will know.  My dad called it ‘Sabatoge’.   Well meaning people think that the baby might not get enough, and Meade-Johnson even makes a huge point about this in their video promoting ‘garbage’, by asking ‘Does the baby have its daily BM?’   

Unsuspecting mothers will say ‘Oh, no; my baby only does that and it’s runny and small every 2 or 3 days’, and they take the hook, feed the supplement; the baby’s demand goes down and so does mom’s supply of breastmilk.

That’s why that 1 am feeding is so important, and so easy if the dad just gets up, changes the diaper and let’s mom get all ready for a big feeding, while she relaxes and hears the cooing in the next room or in the same room with that fresh, dry diaper that the baby loves.  It’s a real ‘turn on the faucet’ for baby.

Anyway, it’s a lot of fun giving of yourself and seeing the magic of what mom can do without trying very hard.  It’s really kind of easy.  You just have to turn off the commercial and conflicting signals from those who just refuse to understand.

Bottom line, I think Time magazine did a service to moms by drawing attention to their importance.  I think most women prefer to sit down, but ‘that’s showbiz’.

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has a great website.  It seems to indicate that they were formed in 2006, so they are news to me.  The LaLeche League were and are comprised more of mothers, with more hands on approaches, but might agree with most everything published on the ABM’s website. 

Elizabeth Warren Plagiarized From Rob Black‘s ’Getting on the Money Truck‘ in Her 2006 Book ’All Your Worth’ | TheBlaze.com

History, Science, Horsense, Frogsense, Commononsense, Humor, Human Affairs (there i said it: pol a ticks)

update; revelation of fact Warren before Black… and never come back: ‘As such, it appears that Getting on the Money Track (published in October 2005) plagiarized from All Your Worth, not the other way around.    Now dear reader, in light of this revelation, should I change any of the following?   ‘Nah, ‘it ain’t Shakespeare these monkeys at the keyboard were writing anyway,’ keeps ringing in my ears. Maybe just Black ‘dEvol’ Warren more. Ever listen to ‘number 9’ on the Beatles song?… like that.  Oh, golly all they wanted to do was scam sell some greedy sucker some books on ‘get rich like me, ’ it’s not like a magic receipe for crab and buckwheat…oh no that’s out there too, I can feel it.

No, NO.. this is proof of what Ron Paul has stamped on his ‘non-campaign’ (and losing the ‘R’), LOVE (backwards)UTION or EVOLUTION… 

Isn’t the highest form of flattery (like ‘I LOVE you’) imitation?  And doesn’t this mean that if you really get two monkeys, who are really smart… one can write Shakespeare and the other Bacon, but because the LOVEution eachother, they imitate, and low and behold they both are writing the same stuff, and if it was Rob Black or Elizabeth Warren, whoever was first or magically they both thought through the cosmic Gorellian Carbon Footprints of eachother and everyone and wrote the same words, but with feelings of LOVE U a TON, but sometimes entomologists can’t really spell and who is to say who is right, who is wrong.

It’s just evolution, my darwin cherokee.

And besides, that Scott Brown, he, he looked in a girl’s bathroom window when he was 14 or something and can’t write these words… because he can’t LOVE them. He thinks he was created and so, so special…like a Bloomingdale’s bag or a UPS slogan… yeah, ‘What has Brown done for you, lately?’  Just a lot of motion…meaningless… bumpity, bumpity brownian motion.

Shocker! Obama was still ‘Kenyan-born’ in 2007

History, Law+Lawless, Commononsense, Horsense, Humor

‘Me thinks Hussein Et Al doth protest too much’ to paraphrase Bill S.  Yes, you are correct 1991 +12 is 2003: well, Acton & Dystel was still using ‘born in Kenya’ as B. Hussein Obama was an Illinois State Senator in 2007, a full 16 years after the first ‘copy malfunction’ claimed by the A&D literary agent. Sixteen years and not a letter changed. Not much to say for that editor.

Would B. H. O. want not to be associated with those ‘slave-base’ blacks which dominate our population?  Were not his descendents of the victorious population, which in fact avoided being enslaved by his own people (good hiders or fighters) or ran away successfully from those who were gathering the young, submissive or weak ones and shipping them off to foreign lands?  All those ship captains did participate, but they only ‘saved’ them from a certain death.  Slave-traders realize and continue today under the sanctions of Shariah Law, to enslave people and property and offering the right of redemption with a hefty payment.  The modern banking system adds so much convenience to the slave trade.  No more auctions; just a swipe or two… and you are free again.  Insurance companies also will ask for a swipe as well.  Just think of the points you get back, or the free miles.  Oh, slavery… another source of jobs, like Pelosi’s welfare payments. Keeping all those evil profits in circulation…

Big Gulp: Flaring Galaxy Marks the Messy Demise of a Star in a Supermassive Black Hole: Scientific American

Science, History, Physics, Humor

It’s great to be able to see this kind of event, photograph and be ready to analyze it down to the speed various vectors within the matrix of the event proceed. Granted it may take years to glean the information from the measurements and observations with all the interference and distances, but this is what science is: observation. And that we can observe history is another great awakening.  It doesn’t give us much about ‘living history’, but about the ‘cataclysmic history’.  Questions of ‘how did the red giant get too close to the event horizon of a 3 million Sun mass Central black hole?’ are closer to being answered as we see more and more of the event unfolding. The fact that this visual occurrence represents about 7 percent of the matter of the universe means that what we don’t see may be making a lot of things happen. There is so much ‘Science’ that is not known, that ‘Science’ needs to say very humble. Knowing even 100 percent of 7 percent is not passing, but would demand ‘remedial education’ for this, among the worst, special needs child.  Richard Dawkins, Sheldon Cooper: I’m talkin’ to you.  Did I tell you I talked to a spider when I was about 4; I saw another one, a different kind, yesterday; we just looked at eachother.  So evolution… blah blah blah…get some more facts.

And Other Advice From Nobel Laureates - Science News

I love to watch people ironying. A nice stiff collar, cuffs, etc. is always pleasant for those who have to endure looking at you.

Some fun in my scientific life that never reached the merrygoround for the brass ring (from Oak Bluffs), but was fun: I had a chemistry teacher named Dr. Smellie; physics teachers named: Goodspeed and Woodie Constant. Those might be anti-ironic, or ‘bumpic’… as in ‘bumps along, fitting into every niche along the way.’

Horvitz’s personality might just model apoptosis, where a cell decides to die, not listening to the opportunities that the grand nutrients offer.  Like being sick of taking bribes for politicians, that just might end most politicians careers and lead some future balladeer to harken, ‘Only those … no: Some of whom change their path meet the counter enforcement.’  I only never say only. ‘Some’ gives that feeling of grace, luck, fate or escape from the inevitable.

Medical Daily: Negative Words Shut Down Higher Level Mental Processes, Study

Psychophysics, History, Humor, Environment

This changes my perspective as I report on things that are negative, disturbing and discipline-requiring.  To present them in the negative light that they produce in others is to repeat the negativity.

Therefore, I’m going to try to present any danger as an ‘opportunity to avoid’ or ‘freedom to steer the other way’ instead of the lambasting of the ‘response cancelling’ or numbing reaction that are evoked from all the negativity that is presented.

It reminds me of my dad’s method of communication: compliment in public; scold in private. And now we find out that this keeps the brain engaged and even with the temporary ‘response cancelation’ in a private negative experience, there is an opportunity for remorse and regaining a positive trajectory before ending the private session.

The fact that our brains crave, in fact insist that a positive message be promoted in order to continue seems to promote humor, irony, even sarcasm to spin what is debilitating into something invigorating. We laugh to accumulate, but when we cry we shut down our accumulation of new information. But like cancer is the too active growth of something not beneficial, apoptosis is the mechanism which recognizes when something should be shut down or diverted to another area or object for growth.  The questions are do sarcasm and irony act to redirect responses, form dialog traces without shutting down neural pathways? 

For example, my past reporting on Al Gore could be improved to notice that his concern about our CO2 gas production is not only making him wealthy and allowing him to produce more and more credits to get wealthier and wealthier and someday someone in his family will be able to purchase respect and their freedom.

I think I feel a little more Dope na Mean coursing through my synapses.  And thank you www.marineknowledge.tumblr.com for the following: 

Why the Inventor of Mother’s Day Would Hate Mother’s Day - Bloomberg

History, UncommonSense, Humor, Medicine

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom: I’m sure you’re Happy that I’ve solved the world’s problems; Love ya.

Wouldn’t you know it, the inventor of the IRS, the Federal Reserve Bank, a failed ‘United Nations’, which were well intended, but without focus they began the ‘black hole’ like gravity of sucking massive power into the Federal Government Bureaucracy.

So President Wilson co-opted the ‘Mothers Day’ to include all mothers, not just those who were sworn blood enemies.  And that is the limit to which I am going to celebrate it, or not.  I lost my mother, age 96, in 2002. I do not celebrate my wife, although a mother; rather her children may and do.  That my limit.  I also don’t expect my wife to celebrate ‘Father’s Day’ about me.  I am always glad and surprised when my children offer some note of celebration.

Government is here to insure our ‘Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Blessedness (Happiness as defined in the ‘hood’, see Thomson’s Bible.)  Therefore it is about ‘SAFETY’, and to protect us as we seek out nourishment for our families, and friends.  

A few things which need to be out of the government’s purview:

1) Educational curriculum content, except eliminating known false facts and favorite theories, e.g. Darwin from slime to self ;

2) Labor’s minimum wage or unemployment compensation (can’t have both and the worker should choose);

3) individual tax law that can’t be read in 8 hours each year and forms completed in 4 hours (more endangers my safety, worries me, subjects me to strangers who err on funding too much to the government);

4) corporate tax (this tax reverts to customers and endangers solvency of company);

5)any safetynet to illegals for non-citizen services including health, education, housing, food, driving (these overload and restrict a fair opportunity and cost to receive as citizen); forced costs will be deducted from UN payments;

6) Healthcare mandates include only a) over 66 yrs. and under 4 years.  b) Poor people will get life saving procedures only, with either local property tax funding (as in Boca Raton) or Federal, not both.  Federal will establish a ‘Best Practices Lexicon (BPL)’, which comes from military doctors, research doctors, and board of top 10 medical school professors in fields (they will be paid and honored) with annual updates established and hierarchy included to give a range/benefit/cost analysis. Absolutely no cosmetic, contraceptive, sex-enhancing, or psychotherapies will be provided without complete cost of service; once established from Conception to 3.25 (4 years) including safe foods, etc. and no food costs will be met because breastfeeding is best practice.  Best practice diet, will be mandated to insure mother’s health and receive baby benefits.  Convicted abusing parents will be sterilized and children removed to Kibbutz protocol living.  After 3.25 years, everyone will have ideally critical care; access to inexpensive antibiotics through clinics, medical schools and other over 1000 bed hospitals. Medical savings accounts will be mandatory, like a tax, of 1 percent of gross income.  Patients, not insurers, will pay health providers; that will lower cost and insure better quality.  Major surgeries and other high cost procedures will have a 10 percent copay; these must be in the BPL; patients must pay down copay quarterly.

7) Legal awards will be subject to loss of use, repair, and punitive no more than 3 times loss or repair (whichever is lower) and this goes into a public fund to pay for critical life saving best care (CLSBC) for those from 3.25 to 66 years.

The point here is that government is not the “happiness” generating machine; you determine and control your own happiness, and true happiness is only associated with the luck or blessing (if you believe) that occurs with best intensions for causing least harm in your activities. Grace and forgiveness are not explained in this summary, but are critical to BPL.
