Pulse of the Postseason: Sept. 11, 2013
It's September, the pennant races in Major League Baseball are percolating, and the Red Sox and Yankees keep making news.
Funny how that works, isn't it?
It's September, the pennant races in Major League Baseball are percolating, and the Red Sox and Yankees keep making news.
Funny how that works, isn't it?
The Pulse of the Postseason kept humming along on Tuesday night, and the two most storied franchises of the American League East were doing their part to keep themselves relevant all the way into October.
The Red Sox, of course, deserve top billing because they've earned it. Boston won yet again Tuesday, beating the Tampa Bay Rays, 2-0, to move to 30 games above the .500 mark (88-58), which is the best record in the AL and a mere percentage point behind Atlanta (87-57) for the top mark in the Majors.
"We've played good in a lot of aspects of the game," outfielder Jonny Gomes said. "With that being said, that's what we have to do to stay in first in Major League Baseball. You need to pitch, you need to play 'D' and you need to touch the dish. It's something we've done."
Clay Buchholz returned from a long stint on the disabled list to deliver five scoreless innings and improve to 10-0 this year. Mike Napoli kept on hitting. Koji Uehara has been unhittable. Add it up and it's seriously good vibes in Beantown at the right time of the year. Boston has a division lead of 8 1/2 games over the Rays with 16 games to go. The magic number for the Red Sox to clinch the division is 10.
The Red Sox are doing so well, even noted Rays fan Dick Vitale is noticing.

Meanwhile, the Yankees are not giving up and continued to battle away in the Wild Card standings. On Tuesday, they came back to beat the Orioles, 7-5, in a huge game.
Alfonso Soriano homered twice, continuing to prove how valuable he has been in pinstripes this time around, and the Yankees won despite Orioles slugger Chris Davis' Major League-leading 49th homer of the year. When it was over, the Yankees had gained a game on Baltimore and made the AL Wild Card standings even more confusing.

The National League Central remains a true September adventure. On Tuesday, the only club to lose ground in the three-team chase was the Reds, who were defeated by the Cubs, 9-1, and trail the division-leading Cardinals by three games.
The Pirates are a game back because they won in Texas while the Cardinals beat the Brewers.
And a similar scenario unfolded in the AL West, where the Oakland A's and Rangers lost, so Oakland kept its two-game advantage.

The Dodgers, Tigers and Braves remain in first place by large margins, and the Tigers' 9-1 win over the White Sox in Chicago, in which starter Rick Porcello went the distance for the first time in the big leagues, might have given Detroit some momentum after a shaky last month.

While the D-backs' days in the NL Wild Card race might be numbered, though, the Washington Nationals refuse to give up. They won again on Tuesday, beating the Mets, 6-3, for their fourth consecutive victory, as starter Jordan Zimmermann won his NL-leading 17th game. And while the odds still might be stacked against them for a playoff berth, they're only six games out of it.
"If we win out, I like our chances," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "The pitching has got to be better. The bullpen, at times, has been real shaky, but I like where we are at. I think we are five games in the loss column. … That's the biggest key going down the stretch."
Wednesday's key games to watch (all times ET)
Royals (Shields, 10-9) at Indians (Kazmir, 8-7), 12:05 p.m. Preview >
Kazmir is a leading Comeback Player of the Year contender, and he has the home crowd on his side against the always-tough, always-clutch Shields.
Cubs (Samardzija, 8-11) at Reds (Leake, 12-6), 12:35 p.m. Preview >
The Reds need to get out of this week's funk. Leake has been solid for them all year.
Pirates (Burnett, 7-10) at Rangers (Garza, 9-4), 2:05 p.m. Preview >
Trade Deadline pickup Garza gets the ball in a big spot for his new team as the Rangers try to make up ground on the division-leading A's.
Yankees (Pettitte, 10-9) at Orioles (Feldman, 12-10), 7:05 p.m. Preview >
Could this be one of the last starts in the great career of Andy Pettitte? Feldman and the Orioles hope so.
Braves (Minor, 13-6) at Marlins (Fernandez, 11-6), 7:10 p.m. Preview >
Minor's assignment is a major pain with NL Rookie of the Year favorite Fernandez on a recent roll. Atlanta's lefty hasn't been bad either.
Red Sox (Dempster, 8-9) at Rays (Cobb, 8-3), 7:10 p.m. Preview >
Cobb's comeback from his mid-season scare is a great story. The Rays need the right-hander more than ever to solidify their Wild Card standing.
Nationals (Haren, 8-13) at Mets (Wheeler, 7-4), 7:10 p.m. Preview >
Haren has been better of late and will need to be to keep the Nationals' postseason hopes afloat.
Tigers (Sanchez, 13-7) at White Sox (Quintana, 7-6), 8:10 p.m. Preview >
The Tigers have been scuffling over the last month and would like to see Sanchez reassert the dominance they've seen from him at points throughout the year, particularly against a struggling White Sox team.
Athletics (Gray, 2-3) at Twins (Pelfrey, 5-11), 8:10 p.m. Preview >
The A's young arms are deep and talented, and a good start from Gray could have Oakland considering using him in its postseason bullpen … or rotation.
Brewers (Estrada, 6-4) at Cardinals (Lynn, 13-10), 8:15 p.m. Preview >
The Cardinals are back in front in the crowded NL Central and would like to stay there. That means they can't afford to lose to a sub-.500 team at home.
D-backs (Corbin, 13-6) at Dodgers (Ryu, 13-5), 10:10 p.m. Preview >
This might be the day's best pitching matchup, with both starters going for win No. 14. The D-backs are desperate now and need a big one from Corbin.
If the postseason started today ...
Wild Card: Rays at Rangers
Division Series: Wild Card at Red Sox | Tigers at A's
Wild Card: Reds at Pirates
Division Series: Wild Card at Braves | Cardinals at Dodgers
Postseason 101
Magic numbers
To calculate a team's magic number, take the number of games it has remaining and add one. Then subtract the difference in the number of losses between that team and its closest pursuer.
Tiebreaker scenarios
A tiebreaker game will be played to determine a division winner, even if the tied clubs are assured of participating in the postseason. If a division championship tiebreaker is necessary, the head-to-head record between the clubs will determine home-field advantage. If the head-to-head record is tied, then division record will be the next tiebreaker.
If two clubs are tied for the two Wild Card berths, home-field advantage will be determined by the head-to-head record between the clubs. If the head-to-head record is tied, then division record will be the next tiebreaker.
2013 postseason schedule
NL Wild Card Game: Oct. 1
AL Wild Card Game: Oct. 2
NL Division Series begin: Oct. 3
AL Division Series begin: Oct. 4
NL Championship Series begins: Oct. 11

The Pacific Crest Trail, one of the original National Scenic Trails, begins in southern California at the Mexican border and ends at the border between Washington and Canada. Kate Niederehe, 31, began her hike in Campos, Calif., on May 8.
She said she chose the trail because of the "expansive views and numerous ecosystems" it offers. Niederehe hopes to reach the end of the trail by mid-October at the U.S.-Canada border, north of Seattle.
Since beginning her journey, Niederehe has already hiked more than 2,200 miles, and crossed from Oregon into Washington in late September. Originally from Maryland, Niederehe now lives in Moab and sometimes works as a staff member for Canyonlands Field Institute (CFI).
Niederehe's project, "Hiking To Get Kids Outside," is intended to "build awareness for the need to keep children and youth exploring and experiencing the natural world," according to a news release. Additionally, she is asking for donations that will be divided evenly between Moab's CFI and City Kids Wilderness Project, based in Washington, D.C. Niederehe has worked for both groups in the past.
An outdoor education specialist, Niederehe says her experiences have proven that connecting children and youth with nature helps them to stay active, inspires curiosity, and, ultimately, helps them to feel empowered and to gain perspective.
"Encounters in the natural world can foster personal growth and joy in life," she said. "I have seen it happen."
The months-long hike was inspired, she said, by concerns that today's young people are less likely to spend time in nature.
"Our society is changing," Niederehe said. "I fear a growing disconnect between young people and the natural world."
Niederehe cited a recent Kaiser Family Foundation study, which concludes that children age 8 to 18 spend more than 52 hours per week using electronic devices.
"Children are now watching nature programs on television rather than experiencing it themselves," she said.
Richard Louv, author of the best-selling "Last Child in the Woods," has coined the term nature-deficit disorder to describe the phenomenon. His book started a grassroots effort to bring nature back into childrens' lives.
Niederehe says her hike along the Pacific Crest Trail has changed her life. She recalled a tough 4,500-foot climb in California. To avoid the heat of the day, she began the climb at 5 p.m. She hiked six miles to the first water source and as she rounded a bend on the trail, witnessed a spectacular sunset.
"I almost cried from the beauty," Niederehe said. "The hard work to make it to that view was worth it. All the pain that I'd endured on the trail to that point was worth it. It was unbelievable. Covered in goose bumps I filled up my water bottle and continued hiking into the dark for another two miles. I camped on a ridge-line saddle and got rained on by large thunderstorms all night."
Some hiking experiences, however, require skill and fortitude. While hiking over the July 4 holiday, Niederehe climbed seven miles up and over Pinchot Pass in the Sierras. On the way down from the pass, heavy weather moved in, pummeling her with rain and grape-sized hail. Niederehe quickly sought shelter, hiding behind a rock for 45 minutes then rushed a mile downhill to a somewhat sheltered area,where she set up her tent. Cold and shivering, she huddled under the tent for two hours. Then the storm let up and she continued hiking another three miles.
Niederehe's pack weighs 48 pounds when loaded with necessary gear, six days of rations and one liter of water. She said the most difficult part of the hike is finding strength to hike through the pain, listen to her body and avoid pushing too hard and injuring herself.
While Niederehe's goal is to reconnect children and their families with nature, she is not suggesting that such rigorous hiking is the only way to build a relationship with the outdoors, according to the news release.
"Sitting quietly and observing, or even just having fun swimming in a lake or the ocean will help connect children with nature," she said. "My hope is for everyone to find a connection somewhere on earth and then work to take care of it."

Gus Van Sant is a hard filmmaker to categorize. He's gone through phases where he's made darling indie classics, Oscar Bait, remakes, High School drama, and quiet meditations. His latest, Restless, isn't another radical departure for the proud Portlander, but it does help to clarify what commonalities unite his filmography. All his films, and this is especially true of Restless, are personal but muted stories told with a real cinematic eye for the quietly powerful.

Judd Trump was sent crashing out of the Shanghai Masters as journeyman Michael Holt handed him a 5-1 thrashing in the first round at the Grand Stage.
The world number three's poor start to the season continues, with the Bristolian having failed to qualify for the Indian Open and not going beyond the last 32 of any tournament carrying ranking points.
35-year-old Holt claimed a huge scalp and his reward is a place in the last 16 for only the second time and a subsequent clash with either Ricky Walden or Martin Gould.
Holt had won two of the three previous meetings between the players and he took the lead in the opening frame before Trump levelled in a scrappy second.
However, from there it was all one-way traffic as the world number 26 rattled off four-straight frames which included breaks of 115 and 97 to progress to the second round.
One of the home favourites, Marco Fu, is also through to the last 16 after whitewashing Cao Yupeng 5-0.

I know most of you have probably heard of Rain For Rent. Well, there's a new service on the market: Lane For Rent. This new service is similar to Rain For Rent except that when you use Lane For Rent, it's just about guaranteed to snow if I go along.
I'm not really bragging or complaining, but lately it sure seems like when I head out to snowmobile and I pack my camera along, it's bound to snow.
It seems like the last few travel feature trips I've gone on it has snowed and snowed-at least when I take my camera. On the few occasions when I have left my camera at the office, it has been bluebird skies and you could see forever.
Here are just a few examples of what I'm talking about.
Rabbit Ears, CO, two winters ago: I was pretty excited to ride Rabbit Ears as I'd never been there before. We didn't even unload, though, because it was a raging blizzard. You couldn't even see across the highway.
Rabbit Ears, CO, one season ago: I was determined to ride Rabbit Ears and this trip proved to be a little better as it only snowed one day of the two we rode there.
South Fork, CO, one season ago: It snowed one day of the two we rode there, although the mountains were a little obscured the one day it didn't snow and definitely obscured the second day. That was some incredibly deep snow, though, and had we had some visibility, well ..
Grangeville, ID, last winter: We rode this area one and a half days last winter and it snowed just about every minute we rode. The folks I rode with swear there are mountains around Grangeville and I guess I believe them but I never saw them.
Central Oregon (west of Bend near Mt. Bachelor), two seasons ago: Rode here one and a half days too, and never once did I actually see Mt. Bachelor, the centerpiece mountain in central Oregon. Of course, the snowstorms obscured most other mountains as well.
I heard the riding was phenomenal right after I left. Lots of new snow and blue skies.
Indian Creek, WY, last winter: This was a late season ride (April 27) and the only thing that kept this from being one of the best rides of the season was some snowfall early in the day and low clouds. The clouds lifted later in the day and it was amazing.
I could go on and on but I think you get the picture.
And I know what you're saying, "Well Lane, this isn't rocket science, just leave your camera at home." I hear you but I also hear the powers to be here at the office who say, "You need to come back with good photos."
So I pack my camera along and hope for the best.
You don't know how many times I've heard, "Wow, the riding was awesome right after you left." If those people were trying to make me feel good, well . I guess maybe I should take credit for providing them with such good riding conditions.
Remember, Lane For Rent.
Don't think I'm complaining about the snow. Not hardly. You've rarely ever heard me complain about snow. I love the snow. I'll even put up with it as it's falling on me while I'm riding, trying to take in the views of the amazing scenery in the West and cocked and ready to shoot (with my camera) if there are any breaks in the clouds.
So next winter when you're looking at the weather patterns in the West and you see a storm brewing and snow is predicted you can just about bet that's where Lane is riding. With his camera. Lane For Rent.

hi Abitha
Thanks for the link. I've had a look and there is some useful practice there.
But I do have some reservations.
Some of the text, directed at the kids, is very small. There are some strange uses of English, that would probably be acceptable in an email or 'text', but on a teaching site could cause a pupil who has English as a second language to learn incorrect usage.
For example
"alphabets" ?
"addition times table" ?
Are you the person who constructed this site or just a user?
Bearing in mind that the Maths Is Fun main site has teaching material as well as practice material, I would personally recommend parents to go there instead.

The ladyfinger in the vegetables section looks a lot like what I would call okra in New England.
Maybe it is grown somewhere else?

Video Baluns / Transmission > Nitek TR560x8 - Eight Channel Video Receiver Card
The TR560x8 is designed for use with the modular rack system. The system holds modular cards in any combination, using the VH3200 card cage (not included). This modular plug-in feature allows the system to be custom configured for each application and provides easy expandability.
The TR560x8 is designed for operation over Category 2 or better twisted pair cable. The system works equally well over existing communication and computer network spare pairs or new cable installations. A highly balanced transmitter output design assures that the system will not interfere with other equipment on the network. Advanced receiver electronics provide complete immunity from ground loop, hum and noise to produce maximum video quality with minimum loss.
A DIP switch on the receiver unit provides incremental adjustment of gain and frequency compensation to allow the system to be fine-tuned for an existing cable. This unique feature provides adjustment for optimum performance over the entire operating range and also allows cable length to be estimated with a wide safety margin. The TR560x8 includes only the receiver card.
Twisted Sender is recommended for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The systems will operate over wire gauges from 26 AWG through 12 AWG but are optimized for 24 AWG. Category 2, 3, 4 or 5 cable may be used. Individually shielded pairs should be avoided, as they drastically reduce the operating range of the systems. Multi-pair cable with an overall shield is acceptable. Video can be operated in the same communication cable coexistent with telephone, computer, control signals, power voltages and other video signals. While video may be routed through telephone punch-down block terminals, any bridge-taps, also called T-taps and any resistive, capacitive or inductive devices MUST BE removed from the pair.

Robert Bontrager was the only professor at Kansas State University to teach the course "The Black Press in America." He sought to open the minds of students concerning the "struggles and achievements of the Black minority."
Bontrager received his Ph.D. in Mass Communications in 1969 from Syracuse University with a dissertation titled An Investigation of the Black Press and White Press Use Patterns in the Black Inner City of Syracuse, New York: A Field Survey. He then became a professor in the journalism department at K-State until 1989. Other departmental duties included being the Journalism and Mass Communications acting department head in 1972-1973 and 1979-1980, chairing the journalism school's graduate studies program from 1971 to 1989, and serving as the associate director of the journalism school from 1986 to 1989. He was the Cruise Palmer professor of Journalism and Mass Communications for the 1984-1985 academic year.
Other duties outside the university included serving on the board of directors of Laubach Literacy International, being a judge in the national Unity Media Awards, and serving in various capacities with the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.
In the 1970 fall term, Bontrager began teaching the first Black press course at K-State. While teaching this course, he primarily focused on Black press materials from the Kansas City Call, particularly the editorials, and two titles from the Johnson Publishing Company, Ebony and Jet.
Bontrager retired in May 1989 and later moved to Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1992.
He was born in 1922, and was a 1945 graduate of Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, where he met Mable Busch, whom he married the following year. Between 1948 and 1965, the Bontragers were missionaries in the Congo, after which they adopted two boys, Thomas and Timothy. Mable died in Lewisburg in January 2011.

This is a great outfit... It looks so comfy.
BTW I love your hair. You probably wish it was straight - you know, "you always want what you don't have". Mine is stick straight and will not hold a curl/wave for more than 2 seconds.

yup, i'm in love. the double-denim look is fantastic and the yellow accents are PERFECT. i remember last year when chambray was just coming in to style i bookmarked an entire collection (can't remember which one, i'm so bad) because of one particularly awesome outfit involving a chambray shirt and yellow scarf. anyway, love it!

Nearly 200 people filled much of Anderson County Courthouse's third floor Monday night, as residents spoke in protest of a subscription service by the Andersonville Volunteer Fire Department.
Nearly 200 people filled much of Anderson County Courthouse's third floor Monday night, as residents spoke in protest of a subscription service by the Andersonville Volunteer Fire Department.
Anderson County Commission held the hearing for the public, although commissioners and County Law Director Jay Yeager explained the county has no control over the volunteer fire department's decision to charge residents.
"You have the right to contract," Yeager said, adding, "You have the right to decline that contract."
All but one resident spoke against the membership program, and Karns Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ken Marston spoke on the huge expense of running a fire department. His fire department adopted a subscription service for fire, automobile and medical calls last year.
Andersonville Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jeff Bagwell did not attend the hearing, although he had attended the Commission's Operations Committee meeting earlier at the Courthouse. The fire department's board of directors did not speak publicly, although at least one director was in the audience at the hearing.
Resident Randy Norton, called the membership "extortion fees," as did resident Chuck Wright, with residents being told if they don't buy into the membership program — which Norton likened to paying "protection money," — they'll pay an even higher cost. (See related story above.)
"For one, I will not be extorted," Norton said.
"Don't be pressured into giving in," resident Doris "Doodles" Mayes told the crowd. The resident of the Indian Hills subdivision in Clinton said she didn't realize she was one of the 9,000 residents included in the Andersonville coverage area until she got a letter telling her about the membership. She said if she'd have received a letter asking for money, she would have donated.
"They went about this the wrong way," she said. "You will not hold me hostage.
"Don't be pressured into giving in," the former Clinton teacher told the crowd.
"Deny, deny, deny," summarized resident Kim Smith.
Resident Harold Whited said he'd like the AVFD board of directors and Bagwell to resign and give the AVFD "back to the people." It was one of several statements in opposition that drew applause from the crowd.
Commissioner Dusty Irwin said he thought the membership program was "poorly implemented," the letter to residents was "poorly written," and now the problem is largely a public relations one.
AVFD has two stations and another one is under construction in the Belmont community on land the county leases to the fire department.
In addition to the land lease, County Commission gives $20,000 to each volunteer fire department and pays for a new fire truck for one department on a rotating basis. Irwin said AVFD is due to get a new fire truck this fiscal year.
The AVFD website states that as of 2013, the AVFD will receive no tax revenue to fund operations.
The law director said a bigger issue to him is whether AVFD loses its nonprofit status — which would have to be decided upon by the Internal Revenue Service and Tennessee secretary of state — then county government could not legally give to AVFD.
Commission Chairman Chuck Fritts said people may be billed by AVFD, but they do not have to pay. Yeager said if residents are taken to court for failure to pay, it would be up to judges to decide. He said for AVFD to get a lien on someone's property would require judgment by a court. He said AVFD could hire a collection agency, but he pointed out that this is different than having a bad mark on their credit rating.
People asked if they could turn the AVFD away from their residence, to which Yeager said it would be their decision and at their risk.
Commissioners discussed forming a task force on the matter with a commissioner from each district. Some residents said residents should be on the board.
Resident Don Carlson, the AVFD's lone supporter, said, "I absolutely agree with what their doing," but added that the method of introducing the membership program was not good.
"It hit us blind face," he said.
Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank said her office has information from the AVFD on their finances, which are being examined by Richard Burroughs, her chief of staff. She said she'd make the information available to the public at another meeting, probably to be held in the Andersonville area. That meeting has not been scheduled, but will be announced.

Mental Health and Homosexuality
Since the founding of psychotherapy as a medical practice, homosexuality was diagnosed and treated as a disorder (dubbed "Same Sex Attraction Disorder" or SSAD) no different than Schizophrenia and other mental diseases.[1] Under pressure from homosexual activists, in 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality as a mental disorder from the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-II).
Concerning mental health and homosexuality, studies have long indicated that homosexuals have a substantially greater risk of suffering from a psychiatric problem (suicide, depression, bulimia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse).[2]
For example, a national survey of female homosexuals was published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology which found that 75 percent of the approximate 2,000 respondents had pursued psychological counseling of some type, many for treatment of long-term depression or sadness.[3]
In contrast to claims by gay rights activists blaming this heightened incidence of mental issues on discrimination, John R. Diggs, M.D. states the following regarding homosexuality and health:
|An extensive study in the Netherlands undermines the assumption that homophobia is the cause of increased psychiatric illness among gays and lesbians. The Dutch have been considerably more accepting of same-sex relationships than other Western countries — in fact, same-sex couples now have the legal right to marry in the Netherlands. So a high rate of psychiatric disease associated with homosexual behavior in the Netherlands means that the psychiatric disease cannot so easily be attributed to social rejection and homophobia.[4]
In addition, the late Harold I. Lief, who was a leading a leading sex therapist who was an early defender of having medical schools put greater emphasis on sex education in training doctors, conducted a 1977 survey of members of the American Psychiatric Association and 73% of the psychiatrists responding said that they thought that homosexual men are less happy than others.[5][6] Also, in regards to homosexuality and mental health, seventy percent of the psychiatrists surveyed stated they believed that the homosexuals' problems were due more to personal conflicts than to social stigmatization.[7] In respect to personal conflicts studies report that homosexual couples have significantly higher incidences of violent behavior. These studies are not surprising given what pathologists have stated regarding the commonness and brutality of homosexual murders.

An omphalocele is a birth defect in which an infants intestine or other abdominal organs are outside of the body because of a hole in the belly button (navel) area. The intestines are covered only by a thin layer of tissue and can be easily seen.
An omphalocele is a type of
An omphalocele develops as a baby grows inside the mothers womb. The muscles in the abdominal wall (umbilical ring) do not close properly. As a result, the intestine remains outside the abdominal wall.
Infants with an omphalocele often have other birth defects.Defects include genetic problems (chromosomal abnormalities), congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and heart defects.
An omphalocele can be clearly seen. This isbecause the abdominal contents stick out (protrude) through the belly button area.
There are different sizes of omphaloceles. In small ones, only the intestines remain outside the body. In larger ones, the liver or spleen maybe outside as well.
Exams and Tests
Prenatal ultrasounds often identify infants with an omphalocele before birth. Otherwise, a physical examination of the infant is enough for your health care provider to diagnose this condition. Testing is usually not necessary.
Omphaloceles are repaired with
To fix an omphalocele, the sac is covered with a special man-made material, which is then stitched in place to form what is referred to as a "silo". Slowly, as the baby grows over time, the abdominal contents are pushed into the abdomen.
When the omphalocele can comfortably fit within the abdominal cavity, the silo is removed and the abdomen is closed.
Sometimes the omphalocele is so large that it cannot be placed back inside the infants abdomen. The skin around the omphalocele grows and eventually covers the omphalocele. The abdominal muscles and skin can be repaired when the child is older for a better cosmetic outcome.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Complete recovery is expected after surgery for an omphalocele. However, omphaloceles often occur with other birth defects. How well a child does depends on which other conditions the child has.
If the omphalocele is identified before birth, the mother should be closely monitored to make sure the unborn baby remains healthy.
Plans should be made for careful delivery and immediate management of the problem after birth. The baby should be delivered in a medical center that is skilled at repairing omphaloceles. The babys outcome is improved if he or she does not need to be taken to another center for further treatment.
Parents should consider screening their unborn baby for other genetic problems that are associated with this condition.
Possible Complications
- Death of the intestinal tissue
- Intestinal infection
When to Contact a Medical Professional
This problem is diagnosed and repaired in the hospital at birth. After returning home, call your health care provider if the infant develops any of these symptoms:
- Decreased bowel movements
- Feeding problems
- Fever
- Green or yellowish green vomit
- Swollen belly area
- Vomiting (different than normal baby spit-up)
- Worrisome behavioral changes

Scott's dinner with Jeb, Thrasher was three-hour Gables gabfest
Gov. Rick Scott's hush-hush dinner with former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. John Thrasher last Thursday at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables was a three-hour education talkfest. A detailed schedule shows the dinner was bracketed from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Palm D'Or Restaurant at the venerable Miami hotel in the former governor's hometown.
That left plenty of time for every form of edu-speak imaginable. State Board of Education Chairman Gary Chartrand also attended the dinner. No word on who picked up the tab, but The Buzz has a hunch: It might have been Scott or Thrasher because of the ban on on lobbyists wining and dining lawmakers. Bush's Foundation for Florida's Future lobbies Thrasher and other legislators as well as the executive branch, and Scott's office lobbies the Legislature, too.

National parks, forests and wildlife refuges that charge entrance fees will be free Jan. 20 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's a good incentive to go four-wheeling in Joshua Tree or hiking in Death Valley when winter days are mild and warm.
The deal: Visitors won't need to pay $15 at Joshua Tree, $25 at the Grand Canyon, $20 at Yosemite or other fees at national parks on the Monday holiday. Southern Californians also can skip the $5 Adventure Pass usually required at local national forests. However, plan your day trip carefully: California state and regional parks that charge fees aren't exempting visitors.
When: The fee-free day applies to only Jan. 20.
Details: Parks provide information on recreational activities on their websites or at visitor centers. At Joshua Tree, driving the dirt roads in Covington Flat takes visitors to the largest Joshua trees, junipers and pinyon pines. Seven routes along dirt roads take visitors on an up-close look at the high desert. At Death Valley, take an easy walk into Mosaic Canyon to see its marble walls and rock fragments within.

Joyce's Drunken Noodle Salad Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Recipe: Drunken Noodle Salad
How long does it take? 20 minutes
Category: Omnivore
Name: Joyce
Why is it a favorite meal? It's a great way to get the taste of one of my favorite eat out dishes at home, but it's even quicker and healthier than real Thai Drunken Noodles because the vermicelli noodles cook in a snap and the veggies are fresh, not stir-fried.
Drunken Noodle Salad
Serves 4-5
For the Salad:
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 medium cucumber, julienned
2-3 medium carrots, julienned
2 hearts romaine lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 to 1 cup of fresh chopped basil (Thai basil is preferred, but sweet basil works fine too)
2 bundles vermicelli rice noodles, about 8-10 oz.
2 T cooking oil
1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into small pieces
lime wedges, for garnish
For the Sauce:
3 T fish sauce*
3 T black soy sauce*
3 T golden mountain sauce*
3 T rice vinegar* (white vinegar will work too)
2 tsp sriracha* (adjust to taste, depending on how much heat you like)
3 T fresh lime juice
1 T sugar
(*These ingredients should be available at your local Asian grocery store… and worth the purchase if you like cooking Asian-style dishes!)
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut up and prep all the veggies (a mandoline will make julienning go much quicker, but if you don't have one and want to save time on cutting, any bite size pieces or slices will do!). After cutting the veggies, prep the chicken and cut into small pieces (the smaller or thinner the pieces, the quicker they'll cook).
Combine all of the dressing ingredients and mix until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.
When the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse with cold water until completely cool, then drain again and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and chicken and saute for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Add all of the sauce and the chopped basil and cook until the sauce is warm and the basil has wilted, about a minute, then turn off the heat.
To serve, place chopped romaine lettuce at the bottom of a bowl, followed by a handful of rice noodles. Add chicken and sauce. (Or, reserve all the sauce in a separate dressing bottle, giving guests the option to use as much or as little as they please, like dressing on a salad.) Top with the tomatoes and julienned vegetables, and garnish with a lime wedge.
Replace chicken with a 15 oz. package of extra-firm tofu cut into cubes, and omit the fish sauce.
Thanks Joyce, and good luck! Readers, give Joyce a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

There are lots of gold and brass tones in the set and I especially love the gilded accessories and objets in the At Home set. Two of my favorite pieces are shown in the below photo - the Round Woven Cachepot and the Round Match Striker.
Here are my other picks:
Grey Agate Geode - $150 -- Round Match Striker - $190
Large Gold Comb - $40
Gold-Dipped Circle Bowl - $700 -- Geo Bowls - $550
I didn't really delve into the Beauty realm, but aren't the At Home collections lovely? I really love the bowls and cachepots for orchids.
Are you wondering why I picked the random comb? I have to admit that I have had the same wide tooth comb since the 90s - seriously. It's teal and hot pink and probably matched the Caboodle I had at the time...hehe. So, it's probably time for me to upgrade!

It's no secret: Helping to care for a sick or dying loved one exacts a steep emotional toll. One study found that as many as one in three caregivers rate their stress level as high, and half say they have less time to spend with family and friends.
But when you're caring for others, it's critical that you first take care of yourself. By not doing so, you put yourself at risk of exhaustion, health problems and even total burnout.
These 10 tips will help keep your stress in check.
1. Put your physical needs first. Eat nutritious meals. Don't give in to stress-driven urges for sweets or overindulge in alcohol. Get enough shut-eye; if you have trouble sleeping at night, try napping during the day. Schedule regular medical checkups. Find time to exercise, even if it means you have to ask someone else to provide care while you work out. If you experience symptoms of depression — extreme sadness, trouble concentrating, apathy, hopelessness, thoughts about death — talk to a medical professional.
2. Connect with friends. Isolation increases stress. Getting together regularly with friends and relatives can keep negative emotions at bay.
3. Ask for help. Make a list of things you have to do and recruit others to pitch in. Even faraway relatives and friends can manage certain tasks.
4. Call on community resources. Consider asking a geriatric care manager to coordinate all aspects of your loved one's care. Other service providers, including home health aides, homemakers and home repair services, can shoulder some of the many responsibilities of caregiving. Volunteers or staff from faith-based organizations or civic groups might visit, cook or help you with driving. Read more...

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Main page/test"
Revision as of 22:23, 2 December 2003
OK, some explanations:
DhDh 12:28, 25 Nov 2003 (PST)
No problem with feature (I looked it up in a dictionary :-) I didn't like "Hot topics" because I thought it wasn't "specific" enough, but I don't really like "Specific topics" either. "Travel topics" is better -- or what about "Travel themes"? Oh, and I was thinking about renaming "News": what do you think about "Logbook"? DhDh 14:02, 25 Nov 2003 (PST)
I think we should we set a date & time to move this page to the actual Main Page?. What do you think about Friday 6 December 2003 at 8PM UTC -- or is that too soon? DhDh 11:38, 27 Nov 2003 (PST)
AFAIC the answer is: no, not really. The problem is, I don't have enough imagination right now to make it different :-) I'll have a look at other websites (taking the TourBus) to get more ideas. And perhaps 6 December is too soon. DhDh 13:59, 27 Nov 2003 (PST)
OK, I'll play with them a bit more to see what I can come up with. Maybe I'll enter a few proposals, so we have a choice. BTW, do you agree with 6 December or not? DhDh 22:36, 27 Nov 2003 (PST)
Done!!! DhDh 12:37, 28 Nov 2003 (PST)
Well, I experimented a bit to get to the format Evan proposed. The idea was to place the continents close to their actual place on a standard map (North America in the upper left corner, ..., Australasia in the lower right corner). That resulted in 3 columns. But this created a problem for the islands and the list of countries: these are the only 2 items left and it creates too much empty space. Anyone has an idea how to resolve that?
I'd like to continue in more or less the same style, but there might be other problems. I don't think there will be any new continents over the next few years :-) -- they're pretty stable. But the other items (phrasebooks, itineraries, travel topics) will probably be expanded: other expeditions will spring up in the future. So, if we want to keep a fixed number of columns, how are we going to resolve that?
Both parts in the "Wikitravel" section will probably be quite stable too. The first part has 6 items, which can also be placed in 3 columns. If we keep the last 3 entries in the logbook, these can be made to fit in 3 columns instead of rows.
Any answers, ideas or other ways to approach the problems? DhDh 14:19, 2 Dec 2003 (PST)

Hello,I'm just installed Pluto and starting to play around with it. I got two problems that I'm stucked with right now:1) tried to use my Epia M6000, it will start netbooting, but as soon it has downloaded the kernel it reboots, I suppose this has to do with chosing the right architecture but I need some help!
So that means that my Epia isn't that useful, such a shame on a good peice of hardware...It should be possible to use a 586 kernel, thats what I have done in my Gentoo installation.
Many thanks for your work with the Marantz SR5600, I have a SR5500 that I'm intend to use together with Pluto, and your help in the wiki is a good starting point!Thanks a lot Rob,Mikael AlexanderssonSweden

If you're involved in the design or operation of Offshore Floating Platforms and would like to find out more about the use of simulation to understand, improve or mitigate the effects listed below, then this webcast is for you.
Offshore Floating Platforms are required to survive extreme environments, including large waves and hurricane force winds, over several decades of operation. Historically, designers have relied on a combination of Potential Flow codes, physical tests and experience. While each of these brings value to the design process, gaps and uncertainties remain. Advances in software and hardware technology, as well as success validating CFD methods demonstrates that companies such as Technip are now routinely applying CFD, or the Virtual Wave Basin in projects, enabling them to deliver a better product with reduced risks and uncertainties.
Guest presentation from Technip
As an industry leader in offshore floating platforms, Technip is constantly innovating in the design and construction of these complex systems by taking advantage of modern design tools like numerical simulation. This presentation provides examples of how they have deployed numerical simulation in the design spiral of offshore platforms for cost-effective, faster and efficient design.

We will be here forever
Do you understand?
Forever and ever
And ever and ever
We will be here forever
Do you understand that?
Get what I'm saying?
– KRS-ONE, "KRS-ONE Attacks!"
The essence of Black creativity in the shadow of the western world has been one of necessity and scarcity. "Make way out of no way" is the only consistent commandment from be-bop to hip hop, from STEM education to, finally, the science fiction that fueled many of those who sought it.
Steampunk, as defined by the fine people at Wikipedia, is as follows …
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century. Therefore, steampunk works are often set in an alternate history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West," in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.
A quick web search for "steampunk" will deliver tons of images, comic books, short films, cosplay conventions and discussions … and dangerously few people of color. Google Images has their first non-white person under the search for the term 18 rows down, a single spot of brown in a drawing with three white people. One might take this data and believe that not only are Black people (and people of color, by extension) not interested in the sub-genre, but that they have no place in it.
Milton Davis and Balogun Ojetade disagreed.
The co-editors of the new anthology Steamfunk! from MV Media Publishing offer up a definition that might not be found on Wikipedia …
The co-editors of the new anthology Steamfunk! from MV Media Publishing offer up a definition that might not be found on Wikipedia …
Steamfunk: a philosophy or style of writing that combines the African and/or African American culture and approach to life with that of the Steampunk philosophy and/or Steampunk fiction.
Their collection of short stories (nothing could be over 12,000 words) features the work of writers from the worlds of television, journalism and fiction, all positing a slightly more diverse world of fantasy and possibility than many have had access to in the past.
Anthology contributor Valjeanne Jeffers said, "Within this new genre we are witnessing the birth of worlds in which Black folks and that which moves us reign supreme. In short, Steamfunk is just as different from Steampunk as Black Science Fiction is from White science fiction. Imagine a Steamfunk hood, an antebellum South in which abolitionists fly airships. Or, as in my novel, Immortal IV: Collision of Worlds, folks living in a post-apocalyptic, steam-world with meta-humans…policed by androids. Now imagine each of these worlds predominated by folks of color: worlds in which Black, Native American, Latino, and Asian folks are not sidekicks but heroines, heroes and villains. That's what Steamfunk is."
Geoffrey Thorne, an actor and screenwriter with scores of credits to his name including Leverage, Star Trek: Titan: Sword of Damocles, Honor Brigade and more, said, "At some point in my lifetime I realized, 'if I wished to see stories about people who looked like me engaged in the fanciful activities I loved in the books I devoured … the only way was to write them myself.' That's the best thing about being a writer; if you don't like the world, just make up another one. So, I did. I did it a lot. I did it a lot A LOT and eventually came to the place I call THE OTHER COUNTRY. When you read the STEAMFUNK anthology, you will get a quick tour of the place and I hope you like what you see because that's the point of that."
Hannibal Tabu, weekly comics reviewer for Comic Book Resources and editor in chief of Komplicated at the Good Men Project, said, "When I started out, I didn't even like steampunk. I didn't get it. I'd seen the images and thought it was a little anachronistic — my eye was on tomorrow, not a brass-covered look at yesterday. However, I saw the amazing work Balogun and Milton were doing and, frankly, took it as a challenge to myself. Write a 'steamfunk' story I'd wanna read, one with possibility and pomp, science fiction extremism and atmospheric flourishes. Along the way I developed yet another Black female protagonist who thinks first and kicks butt, and along the way … I kind of got sucked in. It's just another kind of thing to like, you know, like I am nuts about Star Wars or the Patternists of Octavia Butler. You're not gonna see me in a bowler and goggles, but I now like these fantastic ideas way better than I did when they tried that abysmal steampunk Transformers series a few years ago."
Davis himself said, "I hope to see it expand. Hopefully other writers and readers will see the possibilities and share their own interpretations. As for me, I have a couple of novel projects planned that are set in my alternate history steampunk country of Freedonia: From Here to Timbuktu, an action adventure novel and Unrequited, an action romance series. After that, who knows?"
What is "steamfunk?" It's Kool Herc behind the turntables, it's Coltrane taking a deep breath, George S. Schuyler's smile as he put pen to paper or Obama stopping to take it all in after the second inaugural. Taking the pieces of whatever's available and making it wonderful, be it soul food or impossible situations and characters, coming to you one scintillating syllable at a time. Now there's another new way, a path to "the other country," and you're welcome to take a trip.
"… there is a deeper world than this
tugging at your hand …
— Sting, "Love is the Seventh Wave"
The Steamfunk! anthology is available now.

SANTA BARBARA — When he took office in 1985, Roger M. Mahony set about modernizing the operations of the Los Angeles Archdiocese. He brought in computers and put women in top jobs.
He then appointed an Irish-born academic to a brand-new cabinet position: Vicar for Clergy, a human resources director of sorts for priests, brothers and nuns. Msgr. Thomas J. Curry would shape the way the nation's largest archdiocese responded to claims that its priests had molested and raped children.
In his five years in the role, Curry was a staunch defender of the church and its clergymen. And as revealed in secret church records made public last week, he chose again and again to conceal clerics' crimes from police and put priests' welfare ahead of helping victims.
On Thursday, as his former boss was publicly rebuked, the 70-year-old regional bishop in Santa Barbara stepped down, part of an unprecedented reaction by the Catholic Church to the clergy child abuse scandal. It was a stunning fall for a man who had acted as a right hand for one of the most powerful U.S. Catholic prelates.

Tomorrow marks the start of this year's Menu for Hope IV campaign and believe me when I tell you that the campaign has more in common with a swan that you'd think. On the surface it's all smooth, calm sailing, while below the surface there has been some frantic paddling going on!! It's been a paper chase of finding addresses, sending out begging e-mails, gathering prizes; then write-ups, URLs and pictures. And now I finally have a chance to sit down and tell you what I am donating as a prize this year.
Ever looked at a picture on Cooksister and thought "man, that looks good enough to eat"? Well, the good news is that you can now win one of five pictures that have appeared on Cooksister over the past year. Have a look and see which one you like:
The picture will be printed in 8×12 format on gloss paper, and will be matted and ready to frame. I am happy to ship anywhere in the world. All you have to do is decide which of these pictures will look best on your wall – and then visit the main Menu for Hope site to buy tickets (instructions included below). And while you are at it, check out the other prizes being offered by donors in the UK.
Donation instructions:
1. Choose the prize or prizes of your choice from the main Menu for Hope site. (This is the global list of all prizes donated this year. Alternatively, you can see only the UK prizes on Cooksister.) You must make sure to check the terms and conditions for the individual prizes BEFORE you bid, as some will come with restrictions regarding where they ship to or how long the prize is valid for.
2. Go to the donation site and make a donation. The hosts do not handle the cash at all – it goes directly to Justgiving to be passed on to the World Food Programme.
3. Please specify the prize code of the prize you'd like in the 'Personal Message' section in the donation form when confirming your donation. Each $10 you donate will give you one raffle ticket toward a prize of your choice. If you are buying more than one ticket, please indicate how you would like the tickets to be allocated. For example, a donation of $50 can be 2 tickets for EU01 and 3 tickets for EU02. Please write 2xEU01, 3xEU02.
4. If your company matches your charity donation, please check the box and fill in the information so we could claim the corporate match.
5. Please check the box to allow us to see your email address so that we could contact you in case you win. Your email address will not be shared with anyone.

Scotland Marriages (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Scotland Marriages, 1561-1910 .

- 4 How to Use the Record
- 5 Known Issues with This Collection
- 6 Contributions to This Article
- 7 Citing FamilySearch Historical Collections
Collection Time Period
This index covers events from 1561 through 1910. 98% of this collection consists of pre 1875 records. Most of the remaing 2% are post 1876 records. There are no Scotland indexing projects currently, so this collection is not expected to change in the foreseeable future.
Description of Record
The index, "Scotland Marriages, 1561-1910," is to be used as a tool to locate and view the original documents. The documents or records record more than what is found in the index.
98% of the names indexed with in this collection are:
- Pre 1855 Church of Scotland Records
- Civil Registration 1855 to 1875
2% of the names indexed with in this collection are:
- Church of Scotland post 1855
- Denominations other than the Church of Scotland
The primary record classes, pre 1855 Church of Scotland and Civil Registration 1855 to 1875 are not to be considered complete; though, a high percentage of the records are in the index. (95% to 98%)
For over 30 years, volunteer indexers extracted this information from microfilm copies of the original records. In 2001, some of the entries were published on 16 CDs by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the "British Isles Vital Records Index: England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales." This is an index of some marriages throughout Scotland. The index is not necessarily complete for any particular place or region.
Citation for This Collection
The following citation refers to the original source of the data and images published on FamilySearch.org Historical Records. It may include the author, custodian, publisher, and archive for the original records.

Information about creating source citations for FamilySearch Historical Collections is listed in the wiki article Help:How to Create Source Citations For FamilySearch Historical Records Collections.
Record Content
This collection is an index to civil registration and church records. Church records and civil registration were official records and are some of the most reliable sources of information available for those who were born, married, or died in Scotland.
To learn more about these records consult the following wiki articles:
How to Use the Record
Use this index to help you learn more about your ancestors. The information could help you identify family relationships and lineages as well as direct you to original records of your ancestors, which may contain additional information.
Extracted Records
Extraction is a process whereby indexers index relevant data from a record. The extraction took place on a parish level. The indexed records of each parish were assigned one or more batch numbers. The extracted records are not 100% complete as those records already in the IGI when the extraction took place in the 1980's were not included in the batches. Those records not in the batches can still be found on the old FamilySearch site and New-FamilySearch.
Searching the Index
Upon finding a person in the index, the typical data one would expect to find is a name of those married, Date and Place. Two other relevant items are the:
- Indexing Project (Batch) Number: The hyperlinked batch number takes you to all those records in that batch which covers one parish for a particular number of years, so you can search just the records in that batch. (There is typically more than one batch number per parish) A website commonly referred to as Hugh Wallis IGI Batch Numbers is a site where you can view and search all the batch number for a Parish.
- The IGI has been replaced by FamilySearch, and the Historical Records Collection. IGI Batch Number Descriptions help one understand the meaning of the batch numbers. The batch number prefixes related to this collection are 'M'
- Source Film Number: The source film number refers to a microfilm of an orginal record from which the batches have been created. This is the record that may provide additional information not found in the index. Search the library catalogue using the film number, and if need be order the film through a Family History Center. Reading the hand writing may be a challenge
Other Indexes of these records
- ScotlandsPeople - Has an index of these records with digital images for a fee
- preferred website to access the post 1855 Civil Registration Records
- It costs over £1 to view each page of the parish registers, so the filmed collection is a better alternative; however, you can still use the index on the website to locate records, for a small fee.
- Scottish Church Records Index provides a complete index of all the records. It is only available at the Family History Library and Family History Centers.

Ridgecrest residents cried foul at Wednesday's city council meeting over a recent stretch of events that led to an appointment to the vacant parks and recreation post.
Ridgecrest residents cried foul at Wednesday's city council meeting over a recent stretch of events that led to an appointment to the vacant parks and recreation post.
Residents questioned the selection of former Councilman Jason Patin as the interim recreational supervisor only days after he resigned from his council seat on Aug. 9.
Resident Ronald Porter cited that it gave the impression of impropriety because the two moves came so quickly in succession of each other.
"I'm not here to point fingers," Porter said. "But there is not a doubt in mind that this was a pre-selection."
Porter said that the position should have at least been broadcast to give qualified applicants an opportunity.
"This is a bad, bad mark on the city," Porter said. "It should not be allowed to stand. It is bad politics."
City Attorney Keith Lemieux informed Porter and others in attendance about the recent appointment of Patin to the recreation supervisor position.
"This attention was brought to my attention as it was happening," Lemieux said. He said that if "any city council member used his position to get a city job" while still in office, it would violate California law.
City Manager Dennis Speer made the announcement of Patin as Interim Recreation Supervisor on Monday. Speer stated that it is intention to keep the empty parks and recreation director position vacant for the foreseeable future.
Lemieux said that Patin had not informed the city manager until after resigning. He added that he had spoken with the former councilman about the position and advised to resign.
"The councilman never approached the city manager, and never lobbied him for the position," Lemieux said. "This appointment is only done on an emergency basis. I talked to the city manager and believed him when he said he was not approached by Mr. Patin."
Lemieux said that since Patin's appointment was on an interim basis, the city is seeking a full time replacement, with the process complete in six months.
Porter was no satisfied with the response, again citing it did not speak well of the city's current bruised reputation.
"Six months in the position will give Mr. Patin an advantage over other applicants," he said. "It is not fair."
Residents Al Huey and Christina Witt echoed similar concerns.
"It was no surprise that this was where Mr. Patin was heading," Huey said.
Instead it was the short span of time between Patin's resignation and being hired for the job that raised red flags.
"The appearance of propriety reeks from this appearance," Huey said. "You see how that can give some in the public pause to wonder."
Witt shared similar views.
"Imagine from the public view that when he gets the new job three days after resigning," Witt said. "It seems like there was no time in which this deal was above board."
In previous interviews with The Daily Independent, Patin stated that he had resigned on Aug. 9, and had not spoken with Speer until Aug. 12, and had not been offered the job until later that week.
(This version corrects the print version citing that Jason Patin resigned on Aug. 16.)

Hi, I'm looking for advice please.
My son is nearly a year old and has been eating solids since he was 6 months old. We are doing BLS and he took to it really well, trying most things. His weight gain has also improved since he started solids - he was dropping percentiles slightly before this (we had quite a few BF problems) but now he's slightly gaining percentiles. His appetite varies from day to day, but I know this is normal.
My concern is that he's not getting enough protein. He eats plenty of all other food groups, but we don't eat an awful lot of meat, and when we do, he doesn't seem to eat that much of it. I do give him soft cheese quite a lot, he has eggs and beans occasionally, but that's about it. He still breastfeeds around every 4 hours during the day, and whenever he wakes at night (can be anywhere from twice to 5 or 6 times!).
I looked up how much protein babies this age need, and it is around 0.5 g for every pound of body weight - he is about 16 pounds, so needs about 8g each day.
So my question is - will he be getting enough protein from the breastmilk and the food I do give him? If not, does anyone have any ideas for easy protein sources?
