Head Flexpoint Radical Oversized Tennis Racquet The Head Flexpoint Radical OS Tennis Racquet is built for control with a large-sized, 107-square inch head and a standard 27-inch length. This Andre Agassi-endorsed racquet features an oversized head for a larger sweetspot. As the name implies, the Flexpoint Radical OS features Flexpoint technology (powered by Liquidmetal) for unparalleled control and power. It also features Total Sweetspot Construction for ultimate performance, and NoShox Dampening for reduced vibration and greater comfort. The lightweight construction is enriched with an attractive design and stylish graphics. Liquidmetal technology was developed by the California Institute of Technology, and it adds loads of energy and power to the game of tennis. The secret of Liquidmetal performance is found in its liquid atomic structure that is 2.5 times stronger and delivers 29-percent more power than titanium. Flexpoint technology is breaking the rules of traditional racquet design with two precisely engineered control holes that give the racquet a revolutionary new flexpointhence the racquet name. These two holes, positioned at three and nine oclock on the racquet head, work together to bring power in control. The holes rest in a dimple that is engineered to create flexibility by reducing beam height by a maximum of 25-percent, while the hole increases sectional flexibility by up to 50-percent. With this added flexibility, the racquet has a cupping effect during ball impact. With this, ball dwell time in the racquet is increased and control is maximized. The cupping effect produces unparalleled control with no loss of power. The Total Sweetspot Construction (TSC) delivers ultimate performance through its innovative corrugated structure. It increases torsional stability in the racquet head, thereby increasing the sweetspot. With Heads TSC technology, the entire head of the racquet feel like a sweetspot. NoShox Dampening System consists of a memory foam integrated into the racquet handle that significantly reduces racquet vibrations by more than 27-percent compared to conventional racquets. And with Heads integrated string dampener, this racquet delivers great comfort and perfect sound.

Watching a visitor enter New York City for the first time has always been the equivalent of watching a deer in the headlights. The fast pace, noise and traffic just seem to startle my friends when we go into the controlled recklessness flowing through the streets of Manhattan. Growing up right near New York it has always been my playground, and perhaps something I took for granted as I was younger. There is no question in my mind New York is the best city and offers the most and best of whatever your desire be. If great food is your forte, well the best chefs thrive in the alleys, nightlife? The city has the best you will find and you will continue to find new hot clubs, concerts? almost every artist considers New York their favorite venue, sports? Come on the Yankees and the Mets The Giants and the Jets? Oh, and lets not forget New York Broadway Theater, the best musicals, plays and shows anywhere!
So with so much to do it is no wonder why friends become lost and a bit overwhelmed by New Yorks addicted charm, and if I was not there to guide them they would probably just sit in the car wondering where to go. Most people think a trip to New York is going to hit the wallet pretty hard, but believe it or not a great time can be had on a small budget if you are willing to go a bit off the beaten path.
My first recommendation would be a nice, safe and inexpensive place to stay. The going rate for an average hotel room in Manhattan is around 300.00, not chump change, especially when you are use to paying about 80.00 for a decent room. A couple important factors to take into account here, you want to be safe, you want a well lit area and you want to be near transportation. Lets not forget, you are a stranger in the largest city in the world, a dive in a questionable neighborhood is out of the question for a family vacation. So where in the world are we gonna find something which covers such bases? The New Yorker Hotel is my favorite place to stay, built in the 1930s the rooms have a very unique style and cost is in the 100.00 dollar range. Located near the Javis Center and Madison Square Garden you are in the heart of Manhattan entertainment. The location is close to Times Square and on top of everything you have the major connecting trains for cheap transportation to any location. Close to all the popular Theaters makes The New Yorker a great choice for Broadway junkies.
Now that we have cut the cost of your stay more then in half, what about eating? Dinner in New York must cost and arm and a leg. This is very true, if you want some of the finest cuisine from a five star restaurant you can easily head toward Central Park and eat at the touted Tavern On The Green, but if you are just looking for some great food at a reasonable price there is always a special to be found. The trick to eating great and keeping within budget is to travel a bit further from all the neon lights and tourist sections of the city. New Yorkers are very friendly and helpful, so asking a few questions of where to find great specials and happy hours can easily have you discovering hot happy hours with delicious half price appetizers and drinks. Barrow Street Ale House located in the West Village offers dollar fifty import drafts and a forty cent wing special, with a fun environment. The ale house may not be five star cuisine, but come on, buck fifty imports and hot wings in New York City? I cannot think of anything better I would rather do.
The perfect room, full stomach and couple drinks for under ten dollars and the night is becoming alive all of the sudden. The club scene maybe something you want to hop into for a while, the New York Deejays are the best in the world and the dancing is nothing short of spectacular. The New York nightlife provides many events as well, such as, hot sporting events like Yankee baseball, Knicks basketball and Rangers Ice Hockey, boxing at the Garden is always a popular venue. If sports are not your ticket, the music scene can host everything from a major band at Madison Square Garden to a hot local jam band at The Wetlands. Broadway Theater is one of the largest attractions for visitors, and for your first time in the city it would almost be a crime not to go and check out at least one show.
New York events can sometimes be difficult to get a ticket for, especially if it is last minute. These tips will help get you a ticket and try to save some money. The best bet is always to purchase direct from the box office, but if you missed the boat find a New York ticket broker, the tickets may cost twenty to thirty percent more, however, you will be able to choose your seat and be safe from scalping or fake tickets. An inexpensive way to get a great seat is to simply go to the will call of the venue and see if anyone has canceled last minute. Many times tickets are held for performers or stage hands and the individuals they invited were unable to attend, making a great seat available at face value last minute. Avoid scalpers in New York, they are to risky and more times then not you will pay a lot of money and never enter to see the show. Try a New York ticket broker before even thinking about buying from the risky streets of the city. The last tip for finding that hard to get ticket, hop online and find a forum dedicated to the show you want to see. For example if you want to go to a Broadway show such as Phantom Of The Opera and it is all sold out, post to a group that is dedicates to the show on Broadway and ask if anyone will be going with an extra ticket. Now you have just got a great seat at face value and made a new friend on your New York vacation.

Im looking for some non-fiction sailing books about cruising on a sailboat. Please remember non-fiction means they are true and not made up. Sail, sailboat, cruising, travel.

Oh my I wish I was in my own house right now because I could go to my bookshelf and give you a list. Unfortunately I am on the road . and I can rarely remember names of books or even authors I read a lot.
The one I have with me and am reading right now is By the Grace of the Sea by Patricia (Pat) Henry. It is about her solo sailing odyssey around the world when she was in her 50s. It is a good book.
There are so many others. If you live close to a marine store such as West Marine go in and browse through their book selection and you will find many others.
There are a couple of books with the words Women Aboard in the titles. They make good reading and give a lot of ideas about cruising.
Another book is called something like Your Home Afloat. It is an older book, but still good with many good ideas.
Look for Nigel Calders books for repair and maintenance ideas.
Chapman Piloting and Seamanship is a must for all crusiers. The most recent edition is of course always the best one to have, but it is usually very expensive. You can often find an older edition for much less.
Browse second hand bookstores in areas where there are marinas and live aboards and most likely you will find a few good books. If you are in an area where there is a marina there is often a free table somewhere and you can sometimes find good books there.
I hope that someday on a bookshelf somewhere you will find a really good book by me about the real life adventures my husband and I had while living aboard and cruising.
Enjoy your travels, whether they be real ones or vicarious ones. Here are a few good links.

Here's one thing that annoys me about Katie. Human Katie, not the cat. I could go on and on about the cat.

Whenever she comes over, it's always in the late evening, when life is already starting to wind down. Which tonight, is fine. She's coming over to help with moving stuff around after Florian condenses the fish to the one tank, so he won't be home until a little after 7 anyway.

But this is what irritates me. In general, not just tonight, she comes over later at night. She always texts me the day of asking "are we still on for tonight?" I always have to reassure her that no, I'm not ditching you. Then she comes up with 8 million things she has to do before the time she says she's coming over, so she ends up coming over an hour to an hour and a half later. Usually involving showering and taking wayyyy too long with doing her hair and all this stuff, changing her clothes (seriously, how long does this take?), and a pit stop to Jake's. It's never just we're hanging out. It's oh, I have to make sure I hang out with Jake too when I was supposed to be over already. Or tonight it's when I get off work I have to do a little shopping.

So I can never plan for when she's going to be over. And then on top of that, she doesn't leave until it's like way late. And I know on my part I should be telling her well it's kind of late, but it's like well if she came over late to begin with, I want to make sure I have time to actually spend with her.

But it's just so annoying. It's like let's make sure everything happens on her time when she's coming over to my place. I just hope she isn't much later than 7:15, because hen Florian gets home I want to get going on this. Damnit, I want my apartment to have more space! I've been waiting for this allllllllll summer.

And I hope Florian doesn't stall either. I just want to get this done.

Sorry. But the mess in this place makes me so goddamned irritable sometimes because I have to deal with it every day. Florian only has to deal with it the few hours he's home after work before he goes to bed, then he goes to work and life is good again while I'm left here to step over shit and dodge corners with the balance of a drunk and the forward weight of a bowling ball and then some. And he wonders where all of these miscellaneous bruises come from. Uh, well, that would be our pregnant-unfriendly apartment, thank you.

And on top of that, we have to deal with this 6 week old kitten all weekend. And by we, I mean I. I can't shower in there without her freaking out because I'm not actually out of the shower next to her. She has fleas, so we can't let her out of the bathroom. Plus she'd get lost, or Katie (cat) would attack her. She doesn't stop rubbing up against me, so I have to walk in there without pants on to make sure flea eggs or fleas don't get in them (you don't know how easily fleas spread until you've had a cat, or an irresponsible roommate in the past who didn't take care of her cat with fleas). Because trust me. I don't want them in my apartment, I don't want them on Katie, and do not. Want them anywhere. Near my baby girl's bedding, clothing, blankets, or anywhere where next they could spread to her. But I can't shower in there without the squawky meow, which turns into this high-pitched shriek, when I don't step out of the shower, I can't pee without her rubbing against my feet, I can't do my hair or anything that takes time because she rubs against me (and like I said I have to go in there without pants, and I try to really with as little clothing as possible so I don't pass any fleas on anywhere), and when she's gone I'm going to have to wash every towel that was exposed and every bath mat, because fleas can jump. So I have to avoid my own goddamn bathroom all over again like when Anna and Bella were in there, and the floor is all gritty again. I don't know if this is from Raccoon, because Florian did give her a gentle kitten bath last night, or if it's from her litter box. Because her litter box has paper stuff in it, which is weird, but probably what you're supposed to do for kittens. It's just one more pain-in-the-ass situation I have to deal with, all at once. And Raccoon really is adorable, she is. But she's in the way. And the fleas are what's really getting to me. I do not want fleas in this apartment. When Jen's cat Izzi had fleas last year, she didn't fucking take care of her. We, Florian and I, had to apply all of the anti-flea stuff. There's also stuff you're supposed to spray all over the place to make sure their eggs don't survive, and you have to get under furniture, because of course, fleas are small and can get under shit. But we were busy dealing with scabies at the same time, so we had to deal with that. And Jen fucking disappeared to Cedar Point, and never took care of the flea spray. So the fleas stayed. And we eventually stopped giving Izzi her flea treatments, because they're useless when fleas are still breeding and laying new eggs all over the house, only to infest her again. So eventually, and I mean after months and it finally got cold, they died off. But in the meantime I'd see them crawling in the carpet in my room and shit like that and I fucking hated it. Well I will not tolerate that shit here, because I do not want to find out what happens when you mix fleas and newborns.

We have a towel up against the bathroom door in hopes that whatever fleas might be in there will stay in there, but I'm afraid that it won't do the trick. I can't guarantee that at all. Nothing's a guarantee with something that small. I don't even know if I may have already accidentally carried a few fleas out with me. I'll just never know.

Plus, I'm just trying hard not to get attached to this kitten, because with something that tiny it's just all too easy. I'm just trying to get through this weekend with as little contact with Raccoon as possible (See? I already named her!) so I don't miss her too much, and don't pick up fleas. But that means an obnoxious amount of avoiding my bathroom. Oh did I mention how badly women who are 37 weeks pregnant need the bathroom? Yeah. This fucking sucks. The timing just could not have been worse.

Why the hell is everything happening so soon to my due date? What did I do to deserve this much stress? I was stressed enough with the new fishtank and making sure I get through 4 tests (on 3 different days, 2 on one day) before I deliver, which is really out of my control.

AHHHHHH!!.

Reuters must be watching Novak Djokovic very closely these days and loving it.

The global news organization reported on Nole's 6-4, 7-5 defeat of Swede Robin Soderling in Bangkok today with the headline "Classy Djokovic through to Thailand Open semis". Classy? Intriguing.

Stumped as I was by this description, I anxiously ran through the story to see what level of classiness the Serb displayed today. Did he offer an overly excited fan an autograph and a hug? Did he give full credit to Robin for his own defeat?? Did he share his Pad Thai???

But, alas, nothing. Nothing even close to the Nole's past attempts at classiness like, oh, putting words in a stadium crowd's mouth.

You're a tease Reuters and now your secret is out.

Okay... let me just ask this question... because I find this absolutely fucking mind boggling.

Why is it I've got everyone on my ass, when I should be on theirs?

Have you contacted La Lechy League yet? Because you know, I thought it would be nice for you to have a mentor...

I will contact them when I have questions. My mother-in-law seems to think that just because I made some comment about the bumper stickers about breastfeeding that my husband mentioned, that I'm going to just give up when it gets hard or don't really care about breastfeeding or some bullshit like that. We were all just talking about it, I think because I had mentioned that my bra size has gone up (I know I've outgrown a bra when, sorry in advance, my nipples keep popping out of it when I'm facing any direction but straight ahead, or when I'm lying on my side at night and they pop out), and she was just saying how a coworker of hers (male, interestingly enough) said why feed a baby cow's milk? You should feed a human baby human milk! And Florian said yeah, I saw some car with bumper stickers like that. And okay, I fully agree, really, I do, and we already know, at least my whole family, blood or in-laws, should know by now that I plan to breastfeed. But I made the following comment: that I don't think bumper stickers like that are necessary. I put it nicely, but I don't think it's necessary for women to drive around like smug bitches just because they're breastfeeding and *holier than thou*. Because, and this is the reasoning I gave, what if a woman has a legitimate problem where their milk just isn't coming in? Like something goes wrong where they literally just aren't producing milk? It happens. And I'm not talking they're short on supply and if they pump more and regulate their systems or use a special suction cup or or some trick you can do or whatever the hell my mother-in-law was pointlessly arguing about, which was so not the point. I'm not talking they're having issues or are only in short supply because it's "all in their head," which sometimes, okay, yeah it is. But I'm talking their body just never fucking produced milk to begin with or really just isn't producing enough! That was what I was getting at. So all I'm saying is I don't think going around town with bumper stickers on your car, being all smug about breastfeeding, is entirely fair, and it could offend some people, rightfully so, who wish they could breastfeed, but legitimately can't. And so she's all concerned now that I'm going to give up when it's "hard" or it takes me days to get the hang of it or something, and saying it would be nice for me to have a mentor and call Leche League and all this bullshit, and someone can just come in for me and check to see if the baby's doing alright with her nursing...

FUCK NO. I'm sorry, and I usually hate this word so forgive me in advance... but I don't want some strange broad coming in and looking at my bare tits! When I feel there's a really bad problem I will CALLLLL them and ask some advice, and that's only when I'm super concerned. I don't want to be ogled and stared at and observed like a fucking lab rat while breastfeeding. I'm not fucking stupid, and I'm not going to freak out. I know that breastfeeding takes patience and practice and perserverance, and a ton of those important "p" words. I'm not ignorant enough to give up on something I feel so strongly about because it's hard. All I'm saying is I don't think it's right to go around the world smugly flaunting that you're a BFer when some women legitimately, medically can't. That was all I was getting at, and she somehow didn't catch that even though I specified, until the second or third time around that I explained myself. Nonetheless, I will not be contacting La Lechy League for the specific purpose of having a mentor and having some lady all up in my business, and boobs. I'm pretty sure that except for calling to ask questions on their hotline occasionally, I can figure this out on my own.

I'm just so embarrassed. She must just think I'm so incapable of nursing and whatever else maternal.

And when I was getting out our Snugli (baby sling, just the brand name) out of it's box, just innocently because it had been sitting in there since I got it last Sunday, she's not asking me if I'm interested, nope... telling me that she has another sling at home for newborn babies. When I havvvvvve one. Oh my freaking God! So I said but can't I use this one for newborns? And she said I don't know... so I look at the box, and sure enough it says 7-26 lbs. I'm pretty sure newborns start at around 7 lbs., so I tell her the range and she says oh. Well that one was for me anyway (for when Anya's over there on Thursdays). Oh my fucking God. Glad we cleared up the air there. For a second I was about to grab the gift receipt and run to Target because OMG THIS ISN'T SUITED FOR BEBEHS, PLEZ TO TAKE BAK AND REFUND MAH MONIEZ. Um, not. I was actually planning on using this sling that was given to me, thanks. Well so I guess nobody at the baby shower knew what they were doing when they bought me gifts. I guess the only one who knows what she's doing when she buys things is my mother-in-law. So I'll just let that sling sit there for all eternity collecting dust. Thanks Mrs. Kueber (the giver of sling) for nothing? Geez!

And for this shelf thing she brought that goes over the toilet (which I'm actually really excited about the shelf itself though) she's already telling me what I should put in there (diapers, washcloths, whatever), and while I appreciate how she likes to organize too, I can find my own system, damnit, I've owned and used shelving/drawer systems before. I was even thinking washcloths and towels, but I have a changing table, and the diapers go there. That's the point of a changing table, and I'm not about to let that go to waste after my dad went through the trouble of looking for it and its hardware in the attic. But she seems to think that I absolutely have to have diapers in there, because God forbid I should have to walk 5 feet into the bedroom to grab a diaper. Hmmm. Come to think of it? I'd be going in there for her clothes anyway! So the logical step would be to have her wrapped in her towel and just take her over to the changing table, put a diaper on, and dress her! Or if there's such a concern about her peeing on the way there in those 5 feet, bring in just one diaper to the bathroom and have it handy to cover her junk. But save the space in the shelf in there for bathroom stuff, and let the changing table serve its purpose. I mean I know this is just a little thing, which is why I kept my mouth shut other than to say what I think I'll use it for, but it's the principle of the thing. I need to come up with my own system for where things go that works for me, not for her. She doesn't live here! She doesn't need to tell me how to organize my apartment! I didn't ask help for there, actually. Not with where things go. I need help with moving things that I can't lift.

Now this isn't in order, but next thing. Not exactly an example of people being on my ass, like the original theme of this entry, but still nonetheless mildly infuriating. We got a "new" bed. Reimer, Florian's brother Holger's friend, sold his bedframe and mattress to us before he went back for good to Germany, and it's still in very good condition... only what? A year old? 2 years tops? The mattress is nice and firm, no butt grooves or sweat stains or anything gross or uncomfortable. It's not all worn in. Okay. So Florian and his mom are putting in the bed, and I'm just hanging around the living room because there's virtually nothing that I can do with a heavy bedframe at 36 weeks. So they ask me in just to say where I think I'd like the bed. I'm not going to explain in detail where I wanted it, the important thing is that I wanted it closest to the wall, only pulled out far enough to leave room so I could charge my cell phone in the socket on that wall that I'd used before. For some reason they wanted it pulled out farther. So it's all "but I thought you would want it here because of XYZ reasons, do you really want it that close to the wall?" from Elke. Okay. Well great. I'm glad I shared what I wanted when you asked me, it's a good thing you told me what I really wanted! And Florian was just kind of going along with whatever, so I was like okay, well fine. You guys decide, I told you where I wanted it. I didn't even care if that came out wrong, although I said it as flatly as possible so luckily no one was hurt or upset besides me, since my opinion was so unimportant and wrong, apparently. What do I know? I'm just the practical one who wants to leave more space in my own bedroom. *shrug* But I just don't understand why they'd bother asking if it didn't even matter. I just figured hey. If it's closer to the wall, we're saving space in here which is umm... exactly what we need to do right now? So my logic won. Don't understand what was with the inital resistance, especially like I said, after I was asked.

And then just other obnoxious nit-picky things happened like Elke asking me when/on what days I would like her here after the baby is born and what I need her for especially if my mom is also taking time off of work. So she knows what days she can go in and work to make money. Which I can understand, really, I do. But I don't know what days my mom is taking off because she's kind of playing it by ear, I got the impression, based first off, on when I actually deliver, and second, off of when Elke's going to be around. So now, on top of the bazillions of things that are already my job to figure out that aren't really my job to figure out (aka everything Florian should be doing), it's my job to coordinate two working women's schedules according to my postpartum schedule that I don't even have a clue of yet because I have no idea what I'm going to need after the baby is born on what day. Yeah, I have a rough idea: cooking, cleaning, help when I want to sleep, whatever, the stuff you can expect a new mother needs help with. But it's my job to figure out who's going to be here when? Figure out your own damn availability! Here's an even better idea. You two... fucking get each other's numbers from me. Call each other on the phone. Communicate with each other when you would like to switch off days being here and which days you'd like to be working. Don't make me figure out your work schedules like you're babies or something. Because guess what? I'm not going to figure it out for you, and I will have a real baby to take care of! My mother is incapable of planning anything long-term anyway, she can't even short-term plan for a day. I tried to have her and the family over here on Wednesday and she couldn't make up her mind for four hours if she was coming, so between the time Florian and I got back from my doctor's appointment (and headed over to her house) to some time in the evening, we sat around for four hours waiting for her to decide if she was coming out to our apartment. So you're telling me I'm supposed to ask her what she plans to do on what days after the baby is born in regards to work? You'll be waiting on an answer from me for weeks, because I'll be waiting on an answer from her for weeks.

So I wish people would get off my ass about that too. Because I should really be on everyone else's asses to get their shit together and communicate with each other. I have enough on my goddamn plate between moving shit around and out, organizing, making space so I can walk without bruising myself (here we go again thanks to that damn fish tank) and trying to still be a good student, which is quickly going out the window because I give a damn too much about my daughter's arrival.

I'm sorry. I do love my mother-in-law, and she does mean well. But every time she comes over here (or I go over there) I am just overwhelmed with the number of ways she tries to butt into my personal affairs and overdoes it with telling me how things should run, no matter on how small of an issue. There are always just too many things in one morning, afternoon, or evening. It's like my way will never do, her way is always infinitely times better... etc., even when I've laready figured out a ay that works for me just fine. It makes me wonder... what happens later when parenting issues come into play? Is everyone going to be on my case about that? Well, actually I don't even have to ask that, because I know that's how it's going to be. That's how it is with everyone who's a new parent, aw hell just a parent period, whether they want it that way or not. People looooovvvvvve to share opinions and unsolicited advice, even if it's just that: unsolicited.

And she's asking me if I've bought new tubing or whatever for the breast pump. Ummmm no? Because it's been sitting at your place all of this time and I didn't even know it was a Madela until Florian had to ask you, so how was I supposed to even know what I needed for the pump? I didn't even know what to tell my mother when she was asking about what bottles or containers or what have you to use with the pump. So maybe the pump should have been here some time before now... while I've been preparing already for months. Just a thought. Again, a mildly small issue, but kind of common sense. I kind of need to see what it actually looks like and what it's equipped with to figure out what I still need for it or what should be replaced or cleaned or whatever.

I seriously just wanted to cry by the time she left today. I was just overwhelmed with the number of things I "should" do and that in her subtle way, she seems to be saying I'm not doing right. Love the vote of confidence.

I may be 20 years old, but I wasn't born yesterday, and the day I was born, I came out with practicality and common sense, and I'd like to think I've used it a time or two in my lifetime and plan to use it more than ever. It's my common sense and practicality that got me and Florian this far in everything that's been done in this apartment, and that's going to get me by as a parent. I'm young. I'm not stupid.

I just don't need help with every last thing. I'd be asking for her help and advice with these things if I needed either. But I don't. All I needed was help with what she came here for. To put the bed in, but the shelf thing in, and to finally have the carseat.

K well I'm done now. I don't really feel better, but my chest feels lighter. Thanks for those of you who read this. I really don't want advice. I just wanted to vent to those who care.

Okay... let me just ask this question... because I find this absolutely fucking mind boggling.

Why is it I've got everyone on my ass, when I should be on theirs?

Have you contacted La Lechy League yet? Because you know, I thought it would be nice for you to have a mentor...

I will contact them when I have questions. My mother-in-law seems to think that just because I made some comment about the bumper stickers about breastfeeding that my husband mentioned, that I'm going to just give up when it gets hard or don't really care about breastfeeding or some bullshit like that. We were all just talking about it, I think because I had mentioned that my bra size has gone up (I know I've outgrown a bra when, sorry in advance, my nipples keep popping out of it when I'm facing any direction but straight ahead, or when I'm lying on my side at night and they pop out), and she was just saying how a coworker of hers (male, interestingly enough) said why feed a baby cow's milk? You should feed a human baby human milk! And Florian said yeah, I saw some car with bumper stickers like that. And okay, I fully agree, really, I do, and we already know, at least my whole family, blood or in-laws, should know by now that I plan to breastfeed. But I made the following comment: that I don't think bumper stickers like that are necessary. I put it nicely, but I don't think it's necessary for women to drive around like smug bitches just because they're breastfeeding and *holier than thou*. Because, and this is the reasoning I gave, what if a woman has a legitimate problem where their milk just isn't coming in? Like something goes wrong where they literally just aren't producing milk? It happens. And I'm not talking they're short on supply and if they pump more and regulate their systems or use a special suction cup or or some trick you can do or whatever the hell my mother-in-law was pointlessly arguing about, which was so not the point. I'm not talking they're having issues or are only in short supply because it's "all in their head," which sometimes, okay, yeah it is. But I'm talking their body just never fucking produced milk to begin with or really just isn't producing enough! That was what I was getting at. So all I'm saying is I don't think going around town with bumper stickers on your car, being all smug about breastfeeding, is entirely fair, and it could offend some people, rightfully so, who wish they could breastfeed, but legitimately can't. And so she's all concerned now that I'm going to give up when it's "hard" or it takes me days to get the hang of it or something, and saying it would be nice for me to have a mentor and call Leche League and all this bullshit, and someone can just come in for me and check to see if the baby's doing alright with her nursing...

FUCK NO. I'm sorry, and I usually hate this word so forgive me in advance... but I don't want some strange broad coming in and looking at my bare tits! When I feel there's a really bad problem I will CALLLLL them and ask some advice, and that's only when I'm super concerned. I don't want to be ogled and stared at and observed like a fucking lab rat while breastfeeding. I'm not fucking stupid, and I'm not going to freak out. I know that breastfeeding takes patience and practice and perserverance, and a ton of those important "p" words. I'm not ignorant enough to give up on something I feel so strongly about because it's hard. All I'm saying is I don't think it's right to go around the world smugly flaunting that you're a BFer when some women legitimately, medically can't. That was all I was getting at, and she somehow didn't catch that even though I specified, until the second or third time around that I explained myself. Nonetheless, I will not be contacting La Lechy League for the specific purpose of having a mentor and having some lady all up in my business, and boobs. I'm pretty sure that except for calling to ask questions on their hotline occasionally, I can figure this out on my own.

I'm just so embarrassed. She must just think I'm so incapable of nursing and whatever else maternal.

And when I was getting out our Snugli (baby sling, just the brand name) out of it's box, just innocently because it had been sitting in there since I got it last Sunday, she's not asking me if I'm interested, nope... telling me that she has another sling at home for newborn babies. When I havvvvvve one. Oh my freaking God! So I said but can't I use this one for newborns? And she said I don't know... so I look at the box, and sure enough it says 7-26 lbs. I'm pretty sure newborns start at around 7 lbs., so I tell her the range and she says oh. Well that one was for me anyway (for when Anya's over there on Thursdays). Oh my fucking God. Glad we cleared up the air there. For a second I was about to grab the gift receipt and run to Target because OMG THIS ISN'T SUITED FOR BEBEHS, PLEZ TO TAKE BAK AND REFUND MAH MONIEZ. Um, not. I was actually planning on using this sling that was given to me, thanks. Well so I guess nobody at the baby shower knew what they were doing when they bought me gifts. I guess the only one who knows what she's doing when she buys things is my mother-in-law. So I'll just let that sling sit there for all eternity collecting dust. Thanks Mrs. Kueber (the giver of sling) for nothing? Geez!

And for this shelf thing she brought that goes over the toilet (which I'm actually really excited about the shelf itself though) she's already telling me what I should put in there (diapers, washcloths, whatever), and while I appreciate how she likes to organize too, I can find my own system, damnit, I've owned and used shelving/drawer systems before. I was even thinking washcloths and towels, but I have a changing table, and the diapers go there. That's the point of a changing table, and I'm not about to let that go to waste after my dad went through the trouble of looking for it and its hardware in the attic. But she seems to think that I absolutely have to have diapers in there, because God forbid I should have to walk 5 feet into the bedroom to grab a diaper. Hmmm. Come to think of it? I'd be going in there for her clothes anyway! So the logical step would be to have her wrapped in her towel and just take her over to the changing table, put a diaper on, and dress her! Or if there's such a concern about her peeing on the way there in those 5 feet, bring in just one diaper to the bathroom and have it handy to cover her junk. But save the space in the shelf in there for bathroom stuff, and let the changing table serve its purpose. I mean I know this is just a little thing, which is why I kept my mouth shut other than to say what I think I'll use it for, but it's the principle of the thing. I need to come up with my own system for where things go that works for me, not for her. She doesn't live here! She doesn't need to tell me how to organize my apartment! I didn't ask help for there, actually. Not with where things go. I need help with moving things that I can't lift.

Now this isn't in order, but next thing. Not exactly an example of people being on my ass, like the original theme of this entry, but still nonetheless mildly infuriating. We got a "new" bed. Reimer, Florian's brother Holger's friend, sold his bedframe and mattress to us before he went back for good to Germany, and it's still in very good condition... only what? A year old? 2 years tops? The mattress is nice and firm, no butt grooves or sweat stains or anything gross or uncomfortable. It's not all worn in. Okay. So Florian and his mom are putting in the bed, and I'm just hanging around the living room because there's virtually nothing that I can do with a heavy bedframe at 36 weeks. So they ask me in just to say where I think I'd like the bed. I'm not going to explain in detail where I wanted it, the important thing is that I wanted it closest to the wall, only pulled out far enough to leave room so I could charge my cell phone in the socket on that wall that I'd used before. For some reason they wanted it pulled out farther. So it's all "but I thought you would want it here because of XYZ reasons, do you really want it that close to the wall?" from Elke. Okay. Well great. I'm glad I shared what I wanted when you asked me, it's a good thing you told me what I really wanted! And Florian was just kind of going along with whatever, so I was like okay, well fine. You guys decide, I told you where I wanted it. I didn't even care if that came out wrong, although I said it as flatly as possible so luckily no one was hurt or upset besides me, since my opinion was so unimportant and wrong, apparently. What do I know? I'm just the practical one who wants to leave more space in my own bedroom. *shrug* But I just don't understand why they'd bother asking if it didn't even matter. I just figured hey. If it's closer to the wall, we're saving space in here which is umm... exactly what we need to do right now? So my logic won. Don't understand what was with the inital resistance, especially like I said, after I was asked.

And then just other obnoxious nit-picky things happened like Elke asking me when/on what days I would like her here after the baby is born and what I need her for especially if my mom is also taking time off of work. So she knows what days she can go in and work to make money. Which I can understand, really, I do. But I don't know what days my mom is taking off because she's kind of playing it by ear, I got the impression, based first off, on when I actually deliver, and second, off of when Elke's going to be around. So now, on top of the bazillions of things that are already my job to figure out that aren't really my job to figure out (aka everything Florian should be doing), it's my job to coordinate two working women's schedules according to my postpartum schedule that I don't even have a clue of yet because I have no idea what I'm going to need after the baby is born on what day. Yeah, I have a rough idea: cooking, cleaning, help when I want to sleep, whatever, the stuff you can expect a new mother needs help with. But it's my job to figure out who's going to be here when? Figure out your own damn availability! Here's an even better idea. You two... fucking get each other's numbers from me. Call each other on the phone. Communicate with each other when you would like to switch off days being here and which days you'd like to be working. Don't make me figure out your work schedules like you're babies or something. Because guess what? I'm not going to figure it out for you, and I will have a real baby to take care of! My mother is incapable of planning anything long-term anyway, she can't even short-term plan for a day. I tried to have her and the family over here on Wednesday and she couldn't make up her mind for four hours if she was coming, so between the time Florian and I got back from my doctor's appointment (and headed over to her house) to some time in the evening, we sat around for four hours waiting for her to decide if she was coming out to our apartment.

What To Include In Your Tennis Bag
What you may not realize is that while having a great racquet will help you on the court, a good tennis bag will help you to do just as well off of the court. This is the primary reason why it is so important to have a tennis bag and will leave you wishing that you had a good bag on the days when you discover that you have forgotten an essential item. There are several things that you should keep in mind when you are picking out your tennis bag and if you are careful in your decision, you will have a bag that makes you very happy and lasts a long time.
You need to first ensure that you select a bag that is a good size for your needs. If you only need to carry a few things with you then an oversized bag will be a pain for you to deal with. However, if you need to carry a lot of equipment with you then it will be important to look for a bag that is much larger to ensure that you can carry everything that you need. If you just need a small bag then an oversized bag will just be a huge hassle that you will likely not take with you like you should. In order for your tennis bag to be effective, you need a bag that fits your needs without weighting you down.
If you are looking for a bag that will carry everything that you could possibly imagine and it is necessary to have it rather large in size then you will need to ensure that the bag that you select is constructed from very strong materials in order to ensure that it does not break. Many of the problems with cheaper bags is that they tend to break under the weight and pressure that a full bag will bring. You need to look for something that is reinforced and constructed with at least two layers of material in order to ensure that it will not tear up.
If you can use a much smaller bag then it is generally a good decision. This will allow you to carry fewer items with you, which reduces the amount of things that could be lost or stolen, plus it reduces the weight that you are carrying around to a level that you can comfortably handle. This can be a huge help when you are trying to ensure that you do not overweight your body.
The choice of color, brand and even style is something that you can decide upon based upon your personal preference; however ensuring that you have at least a shoulder strap on the bag will be a good idea so that you can comfortably carry the bag without hurting your hands. If you try to use a bag that only has hand straps you are going to be looking at a lot of weight and pressure on your hands, this is completely unnecessary and should be avoided at all costs before a game or even practice.
Picking the right bag will ensure that you are organized, as well as not hurting yourself carrying a bag around. However, if you are trying to pick out a bag that is bigger than you are then you are likely setting yourself up to be injured. Choose a bag that is small enough that you can reasonably carry it, in addition ensure that the bag has a padded shoulder strap so that you can protect your shoulder from enormous levels of strain. If you are unable to protect your shoulder then you are putting yourself at risk of an injury simply from carrying your bag, which will cause you several problems.
A great bag is essential, but choosing the right bag will be a process that generally takes a while to decide. In addition, you should avoid the idea of purchasing the cheapest bag that you can find. This will almost always result in increased amounts of frustration because the bag will break, rip, or even hurt you as you carry it. A good quality bag is well worth the price.

The last few days we've started to feel like the fresh-squeezed oranges behind the bar at the MINI Rooftopcrushed, pulped, and pulled every which way. That's why it was a true wonder to stroll into the Highline Ballroom and see a relaxed, though electrified, audience enjoying the Prps presentation. We don't know what the capacity of the venue is, but it was at least a third under its maximum, which made seeing the clothesa fine, baggy denim collection, all the more pleasant. But we're pretty sure the crowd at the Prps presentation wasn't there for the denim or bite-size h'ordeurves. For the big event of the night, MGMT performed a spectacular, sweaty show for only 200 people, and rocked the metallic tights off right off everyone's legs. Pamela Love was booty shakin' with her buddy all night long. Peaches Geldoff was too busy canoodling with her fresh-out-of-the-box husband to notice Cory Kennedy and crew being scolded by security for lighting up inside. Cobrasnake shot the scene and NHL star and former Vogue intern kept a low profile. None of this, however, compared to viewing the hottest band of the moment in an intimate atmosphere with elbow room to spare. After braving the tents all week long, we so deserved this.

Dunlop Aerogel 500 Tour Tennis Racquet The Dunlop Aerogel 500 Tour is part of the next generation of tweener racquets that combines proven M-Fil technology with Aerogel to deliver an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased crispness. Expect the same great performance found in the M-Fil series of racquets, now with the improved feel and feedback provided by Aerogel. Geared to the intermediate to advanced player, the Dunlop Aerogel 5 Hundred Tour features specifications that would fall into the category of a tweener (in between power and control/in between midsize and oversize). A more-generous sweetspot than the AeroGel 200 and 300, but without sacrificing feel. Ideal for a moderate to fast swing, the AeroGel 500 Tour works well for the player who prefers a tweener with a slightly heavier heft. Great spin potential, maneuverability, and a little more pop remain strong features of the AeroGel 500 Tour. Aerogel is the worlds lightest solid and has a strength of up to 4,000 its own weight. The three-dimensional nanometer-sized molecular network delivers an unmatched strength to weight ratio for enhanced stiffness and increased power. Combined with M-Fil (multi-filament) technology across the hitting zone to soften ball impact, Aerogel frames deliver the perfect balance between power and control.
