Has anyone else's LO had an allergic reaction to rice cereal? I spent Friday night at the ER with DS. I gave him rice cereal mixed with breastmilk for the first tie and within 40 minutes his cheeks were beet red and swelling. Doctor checked his throat ant said that it wasn't swollen but to watch him and gave him benedril. I'm really scared to try it again with him, but they say it's the safest for baby's first food. Am I wrong in deciding to wait till he's 6 months old to try again? Suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Allergic reaction to Rice cereal
Tami:Mommy to Aedric Cade (July 7,2008)!
Did you discuss this with your pedi? If so, what did he/she reccommend? I wouldn't try it again personally until 6 months. Ask about oatmeal or another grain. But only give a teaspoon to try it. How much rice cereal did you give your DS when he got the reaction?
Wife to Cliff 11-18-2006
Mommy to Ariella Dora 7-7-2008
I don't know if I'd go as far as to say DS had an allergic reaction but I have noticed that after each time we've given him rice cereal his cheeks and chin are red and almost have a rash. I'm assuming it's because most of the cereal ended up on his face and not in his mouth! He's got super sensitive skin so I wasn't totally surprised. Did the ER Dr's say anything about the allergy? Did they say to avoid the cereal? Maybe you should check with your pediatrician. I'm interested to see if anyone else has had the same reaction. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
Mommy to Jack 7.08 Angel 1.11 Clara 2.12
that's weird...because I have noticed that my daughters cheeks and chin have been very red lately and we just tried rice cereal too. I wonder if it is an allergy?
ER doctor told us it was an allergic reaction and within 15 minutes after given the benedril the swelling and redness were going away. We have an appointment next week wit his ped., so we will be discussing it with her then. Just threw me for a loop because I though rice cereal was started first to prevent allergic reactions. *shrugs
Tami:Mommy to Aedric Cade (July 7,2008)!
Gerber rice cereal has dairy/soy additives, if your LO is allergic or intolerant to either that might be a reason. I always suggest to start with Beechnut rice or oatmeal b/c it lacks these additives. This is why it's so important to start with a single grain cereal and advance with each food slowly. New fruit/veggie/cereal every 3-4 days, so that if an allergic reaction is noticed, parents can tell right away what is the culprit. I always keep a bottle of Benedryl on hand, b/c you just never know. My ODS is allergic to peanuts, I'm waiting until 6 months to start solids with DD, no rush.
Mommy to Michael (7/18/06) & Natalia (7/9/08)
Wow Agnes! Given that dairy and soy are too of the most common allergens, I'm shocked that Gerber includes it in their rice cereal! I'm a third time mom and this is the first I'm hearing this.
Always finding something new to learn!
I was just thinking what agnes said....maybe there are other things in the cereal other than rice. I just went through allergy testing with my ODD and the allergist said that rice allergies are very rare. We are waiting til 6 months with the new one just because food allergies run in my husband's family. My ODD is allergic to wheat, peaches, beef, oats, and has soy and dairy sensitivities.
Amanda 5-25-06 Samantha 7-24-08
'why are you so crazy?' 'b/c I like butterflies so much'
My odd has a milk allergy and eczema. When she accidentally gets milk (like from a cookie), her cheeks and chin get really red. We carry Bendryl too.
I am also shocked to hear that Gerber has dairy/soy additives in the cereal. I'm glad to know that.
ETA: We are waiting until 6 months cause my dd is ebf. But even for ff, I have read that 4-6 months is okay to start. So six months would be in the range.
Girls- 5, 6 & Boys 10, 11
I didn't realize there was baby Benadryl. Does it say on the label if they are under 2 yrs to consult a pediatrician? If so, how much can they have?
It doesn't sound exactly right. People show allergic reactions the second time they are exposed to something, not the first, because their body has to build up antibodies from the first time. It must be something added to it that your LO has been exposed to in some form before. I am shocked that gerber adds soy and dairy to their rice cereal. I am horrified in fact.

Cenci--Italian Bow Ties
Total Time
1hr 10mins
Prep 1 hr
Cook 10 mins
Florentine Love Knot Cookies :There are many regional variations of these sweet fried confections. The best-known Carnival pastries are Cenci (the word means rags), whose many aliases include Frappe, Chiacchere (gossips), Lattughe (lettuce leaves) and Nastrini (ribbons), while they are also called the more poetic "Lover's Knots." They are very pretty when carefully made.. To make a batch you'll need:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 3⁄4 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1⁄3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Make a fairly stiff dough with these ingredients, kneading it thoroughly, and adding more flour if it comes out too soft. Flour it and let it rest, covered, for about an hour.
- Then roll it out into an eighth-of-an-inch-thick sheet, and use a serrated pastry wheel to cut it into strips 4 inches long and two and one half inches wide. Make a cut down the middle of each cencio (so as to obtain two strips joined at the ends), twist the side strips without breaking them,
- Fry them in hot oil or lard, and dust them with confectioners sugar when they're cool. This recipe is sufficient to make a platterful. Should the dough have formed a crust while it sat, knead it again before you roll it out.
- My Mom also drizzles honey before the confectioners sugar.

I was excited to see an adapter that I could put in my valve and attach a tube to it for better inflation. I was also excited that I wouldn't need someone to hold the hose tube while I pumped with both hands. While the NRS site is very clear that this is "the new" design, I have no idea whether the valve in my boat is "the new" design or "the old" design. The boat instructions say that it is a Summit 2 valve. Because I haven't heard of a Summit 3 valve, I bought it and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, it didn't stay in the valve very well when I attempted to use it. It was far easier to have someone hold the tube while I pumped. It was cheap and worth a shot.

Q:Does this adapter have a small plastic "cross-bar" (inside the adapter) that compresses the valve stem when connected to prevent immediate lose of air when disconnected?Asked on 3/14/2013 by Will from United States
1 answer
A:Will, there's no crossbar inside the adapter and no need for one. The Summit valve has a spring loaded stem, with a rubber seal on the end. When you push down on the stem and turn it clockwise the rubber seal is raised to close the valve and prevent air from escaping. The valve adapter prongs lock the adapter in place, with that blue ring pressed against the valve opening to provide a good outer seal. As you pump, the air pressure pushes the inner rubber seal open, letting air into the chamber. When you stop pumping the rubber seal closes, trapping the air. So, as you remove the adapter, no air is escaping.Answered on 3/14/2013 by Clyde from NRS

George Street Normal School may have to change its name.
The Dunedin school's achievements have been anything but
normal over the past two years.
Pupils won five gold medals in the University of New South
Wales International Competitions and Assessments for Schools
(ICAS) last year and have made it a golden double this year.
William Scharpf (10) was awarded the 2012 ICAS year 6 science
gold medal, and Paxton Hall (9) the year 4 mathematics gold
medal this week.
William also won a gold medal in year 5 mathematics last
ICAS exams have been held in New Zealand for the past 18
years and attract more than 150,000 entries every year.
Principal Rod Galloway said the medals reflected the hard
work pupils had put into the competition.
''Our children have participated in record numbers in many
areas, won the ODT Extra! Otago current events quiz, and

Britannica Web sites
Articles from Britannica encyclopedias for elementary and high school students.
- glass - Children's Encyclopedia (Ages 8-11)
Glass is a useful and unique material. It usually lets light shine through, but it blocks liquids and air. Glass is easily breakable, but it can also be made very strong. And glass can be formed into all kinds of shapes.
- glass - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
A world without glass is almost inconceivable. Glass plays an indispensable role in various scientific fields, in industry, and in telecommunications. It is used throughout the home, at work, and often in play. For centuries glasswork has been a decorative form of art. Glass is a material made by cooling molten ingredients such as silica sand fast enough so that no visible crystals form. Since glass has no sharp melting point, most types can be shaped while hot. The finished glass is usually hard, brittle, and transparent or translucent.

Here is a guide to help you when choosing a Manchester United shirt.
I have included pictures of their most recent shirts as well as links to websites which detail United's shirt through the years.
I have also included a glossary of football shirt related terms.
Home Shirt 1994-1996 Home Shirt 1996-1998 Home Shirt 1998-2000
Note: Shirt features zipper at the collar
Home Shirt 2000-2002 Home Shirt 2002-2004 Home Shirt 2004-2006
Away Shirt 2005-2006 Home Shirt 2006/2007 Home Shirt 2007-2009

Premier League. The badge shown
here was awarded to United for
winning the Premiership in the
2006/2007 season.
The above shirts were all worn between 1994 and 2009.
They are just a few of the shirts Manchester United have worn through the years
Through their history, Manchester United has mainly worn a red shirt as a first choice, particularly since the 1950's. Prior to that United wore blue shirts or white shirts with red trimmings. United, like all football clubs, have always worn their first choice shirt when possible, however when an opponents colours are deemed to similar, one team must change into their 'away shirt' or 'second shirt'. The blue shirt shown in the pictures is an example of this.
Over the years Manchester United have had their shirts made by the following manufacturer's.
1972 - 1975 Umbro
1975 - 1980 Admiral
1980 - 1992 Adidas
1992 - 2002 Umbro
2002 - Present Nike
- If a shirt is advertised and it is not manufactured by any of the above manufacturer's, the shirt is more than likely a fake or not a genuine copy.
- In recent years remakes of old shirts have become popular. Some manufacturer's have begun remaking old shirts, however former manufacturer's no longer linked to clubs can not
re-produce old shirts.
- In 1994 Umbro released a shirt with a 'lace up' collar.
- In 1998 Umbro went onto to design another shirt with a unique collar, they introduced a collar with a zipper, making United the first team in the world to wear a football shirt with a zipper.

Arts A Hell of a Question
posted by July 24 at 14:44 PMon
Responding to my post about how Star Wars broke my belief in a Christian God (I now believe in a Spinozistic God), Brad Steinbacher, a man who knows his galactic stuff, posed this tough question:
"If Star Wars is great because it lacks God, then how come in the Empire Strikes Back, which everyone on the planet agrees is the best SW film, Han Solo tells a lowly rebel member: 'Then I'll see you in hell!,' when he sets out in search of Luke Skywalker on Hoth? The existence of Hell — or the idea of Hell — means there is an existence of Heaven… Star Wars films only achieved true greatness when God was brought into the fold?'"
This is a very important point. Why does Han Solo have a concept of hell? The solution: We must never forget that his is a concept (idea) of hell, and not specifically a Christian hell. As we have seen on Earth, hell as an idea is transcultural and transhistorical. Hell has existed, in one form or another, in different cultures, and has changed over the years in these separate cultures. Because hell as a concept can be imaged in different and unrelated cultural environments, we can image that, as a concept (an idea), it can exist in galaxies that are far, far away and in times that are long, long ago.
What is important is not God or Satan but their forms as The Good and The Bad. You must see not persons or living beings but forces, isomorphisms, universal structures, trans-galactic moral systems.

It would be nice if under the "Show on homepage:" in the Advanced tab, there was a sub-option called "Only on the first post:".
This would be useful not only for performance, but also for bloggers who just want it to work this way. WP Greet Box works this way.

Yes, I've noticed it too. It sure looks like it is making some sort of a move. I'd wait until it hits a new high before I buy. This way the momentum traders will follow. What I like about NFLX is that it has a huge short interest. Someting like 40-50%. Will be interesting to see if it can make a nice move this week.

Edwina Sandys
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (October 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Edwina Sandys (born 22 December 1938) is a British artist and sculptor.
Notable works[edit]
Sandys' work titled "Breakthrough," at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, features eight sections of the Berlin Wall. The college was the site of her grandfather Sir Winston Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946 and is now the site of the National Churchill Museum.
Sandys also worked with the Missouri University of Science and Technology, located in Rolla, Missouri, to use a new way to make deep cuts in granite to create the Millennium Arch sculpture which stands across the campus from their Stonehenge monument. The Arch is a single trilithon with a vague silhouette of a man and a woman on each of its supporting megaliths several meters from the arch.[citation needed]
In an interview with New York Social Diary[1] Edwina discusses one of her more well known works, "Christa." Edwina describes her reasoning behind the sculpture, explaining that though not a religious person necessarily, she felt the need to represent women within what's often considered the most important image - Jesus on the cross. She states that the sculpture showed the suffering of women as well.
Her published works include the book "Edwina Sandys Art," and an illustrated quiz book entitled "Social Intercourse".
Personal life[edit]
She is the second child of Edwin Duncan Sandys, Baron Duncan-Sandys and Diana Churchill, and a granddaughter of the statesman Sir Winston Churchill. She has been married twice. Her first husband, Piers Dixon, formerly represented Truro as the Conservative MP. She and Dixon had two sons: Mark and Hugo.

As the 2012 season approaches, college football fans are beginning to assess their team's chances for glory. Georgia Bulldog fans should be excited coming into the year.
Last year's team finished the regular season 10-2 and were SEC East champions.
The reason behind the renewed excitement is 16 starters and 54 lettermen return, along with their starting quarterback and a number of quality running backs.
The Bulldogs are a talented, experienced group, but do they have enough to win the SEC championship? Some media members and fans say no.
They point to the SEC championship game and the Outback Bowl last year, both games Georgia lost, and question if this team is talented or tough enough to win an SEC championship.
That question makes for good conversation. In my estimation, any team talented enough to make it to the championship game in the SEC is tough enough to win it. Just ask Tennessee.
In 2001, the Vols (10-2) were ranked No. 2 in the BCS and looking forward to a second appearance in the national championship game in the span of three years.
Georgia fans remember that team. It was only a we-just-stomped-their-face-with-a-hobnail-boot-and-broke-their-nose away from an 11-0 perfect regular season as the Vols headed to Atlanta.
All they had to do was beat No. 21 LSU (8-3)—a team they had already beaten once that year—in the SEC championship game.
Do the 'Dawgs have the talent to win the SEC?
At the half, the Vols led 17-7 and all was well. Then, a second-half horror story and a 31-20 loss later, and Tennessee fans left Atlanta with dreams of what could have been.
In the past four years, Georgia's worst-recruiting class (2010) ranked No. 12, according to ESPN's recruiting rankings. The other three were ranked sixth, fifth and sixth.
This team is loaded with talent. The defense is finally coming back into form and there are playmakers in both the passing and running game again.
Looking back to last year, only the most loyal Georgia fans are likely to remember the details more than that 42-10 final score in the loss to LSU.
Lost in that score is the fact that if not for a couple of dropped passes, Georgia could have likely led 21-0 at halftime. Even the actual halftime score (10-7) was deceptive, as Georgia held a 135-11 advantage in total yards gained.
There is no intent to take anything away from the LSU win and their fine athletes or staff. They are worthy and deserving champions.
However, this Georgia team has the talent and coaching to be just as good and win their first SEC title since 2005 and the giddy days of David (Greene and Pollack).

Study shows 18 percent rate of related deaths in U.S. adults aged 40 and up, compared to earlier estimates of 5 percent
By Dennis Thompson
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Aug. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have vastly underestimated the number of deaths caused by obesity in the United States, a new report reveals.
Obesity accounts for 18 percent of deaths among black and white Americans between the ages of 40 and 85, according to a study published online Aug. 15 in the American Journal of Public Health. Previous estimates had placed obesity-related deaths at only 5 percent of all U.S. mortalities.
"This was more than a tripling of the previous estimate," said study author Ryan Masters, who conducted the research as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation scholar at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, in New York City. "Obesity has dramatically worse health consequences than some recent reports have led us to believe."
Earlier estimates erred by overlooking generational differences in the way the obesity epidemic has affected Americans, Masters said.
Because younger generations have been exposed longer to risk factors for obesity, they are at even greater risk of becoming overweight or obese and suffering all the health problems that accompany the extra pounds, the researchers warned.
"A 5-year-old growing up today is living in an environment where obesity is much more the norm than was the case for a 5-year-old a generation or two ago. Drink sizes are bigger, clothes are bigger and greater numbers of a child's peers are obese," study co-author Bruce Link, a professor of epidemiology and sociomedical sciences at Columbia, said in a statement. "And once someone is obese, it is very difficult to undo. So, it stands to reason that we won't see the worst of the epidemic until the current generation of children grows old."
The researchers investigated this possibility by breaking the population down into "cohorts," or generations, and studying the effect of obesity on deaths for those age groups.
Using these generational groups, they analyzed 19 years' worth of annual U.S. National Health Interview Surveys from 1986 through 2004 and compared those findings to individual mortality records from the National Death Index. They focused on ages 40 to 85 to exclude deaths caused by accidents, homicides and congenital conditions, the leading causes of mortality for younger people.

Research Institution:
AbstractIn our proposed effort, we intend to perform high temperature (100-200 Deg C) characterization of an ultra-advanced heat pipe to determine feasibility of using it in high temperature space radiators. In previous work, we have shown that the so-called "Qu Tube" achieves exceptionally high thermal transport rates at lower temperatures. BENEFIT: Our innovation will significantly reduce the size of radiators used on spacecraft and satellites, thereby reducing their mass and their cost. It can also be applied in many industrial heat exachanger designs.

"I have never really been into baseball cards. I used to clothespin them to my bike frame and ride around letting them hit my spokes so it sounded like I had a motor when I was about 8 years old, but have never been a collector. My favorite card of me is the one I got a contract for because it was a small paycheck that I desperately needed."

Can you get the chair for a DUI?
From yahoo news:
Celebrity Paris Hilton was arrested in
Hollywood early on Thursday on suspicion of drunk driving, Los
Angeles police said.
Police pulled the hotel heiress over and tested her for
intoxication after seeing her drive erratically, Los Angeles
police officer Robert Andreno told Reuters.
"She was arrested so, yes, she failed the sobriety test,"
Andreno said.
Los Angeles police spokeswoman Marjan Mobasser said Hilton
was stopped by traffic officers in the Hollywood area at about
1:20 a.m.
The 25-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel and real estate
dynasty has achieved celebrity through saturation media
coverage of her hard-partying lifestyle and a growing number of
television appearances.
She is best known for her hit reality show "The Simple
Life" and for a sex video that showed up on the Internet.
Earlier this year a judge ordered Hilton to stay away from
a Los Angeles party planner who accused her of bombarding him
with angry phone calls, shoving him and threatening his life.
I didn't have a blog for today.
I woke up this morning and turned on the computer so I could print out my essay for my 8:30 class and this was the headline on yahoo news.
Because of this event I would like to announce that I am going to become a born again Christian because this proves beyond a reasonable doubt that there is a god.
I think there are three possible ways this plays out:
1) After a rousing national televised trial Paris where Paris gets railroaded by the court, she gets sent to the most hardcore women's prison in the state of California. At this prison all her enemies plot to destroy her (Lohan, Rick Solomon, Me). One of her old friends from the force helps run the prison and designs a plan for her escape but is later killed during the escape which the powers that be plan to frame Paris for. Knowing the escape plan was a setup Paris has to improvise and uses her belt to glide down the power lines from the prison. Once outside the prison's walls Paris tries to track down her enemies to clear her name forever.
Wait a second, I think I fell asleep watching Tango and Cash last night.
2) She is beheaded.
3) Paris pretty much pays whatever it takes to get out of it and it all goes away with nobody bringing it up again because she didn't do anything exciting like make anti-semitic remarks or roll the car down a canyon highway with her kids in it.
You know what come to think of it this sucks. Nothing is going to happen…. I'm going back to bed.
(I am sorry that you had to read this. I just wanted to make a Tango and Cash reference.)

The Goryeo–Khitan War was a series of 10th- and 11th-century conflicts between Goryeo and the Khitan Liao dynasty near the present-day border between China and North Korea.
During the Three Kingdoms of Korea period, Goguryeo occupied the northern Korean Peninsula and parts of Manchuria and inner Mongolia. With Goguryeo's fall in 668, Silla unified the Three Kingdoms, while northern parts of Goguryeo territory were briefly occupied by Silla's ally, Tang China. A former Goguryeo general revived Goguryeo's Manchurian territory as the new kingdom of Balhae.
Right after the fall of Goguryeo, the Göktürks were divided and eventually driven out from most of Central Asia by the Tang. Another Turkic tribe, the Uyghurs, replaced the Göktürks, but their control was weak.
As Balhae, the Uyghur and the Tang Dynasty weakened, the Khitan people, a nomadic confederation in Manchuria and eastern Mongolia, grew stronger and began to expand their territory. Following Tang's fall in 907, China experienced a long period of civil war.
In 911, threatened by Khitan expansion, Balhae sought help from the declining Silla of the Korean Peninsula. Records stated that Balhae also requested help from Silla's successor dynasty Goryeo during the Later Three Kingdoms.
In 916, the Liao dynasty was founded by the Khitan chief Yelü Abaoji, who was enthroned as Emperor Taizu of Liao, replacing the Uyghurs as the dominant power of what is now Mongolia after the Yenisei Kirghiz and the Tang dynasty defeated the Uyghur Khaganate and left a power vacuum.
Goryeo-Khitan relations[edit]
On the Korean Peninsula, Silla was succeeded by Goryeo in 918. The Khitan in 926 destroyed Balhae, and many of Balhae's ruling class moved south and joined the newly founded Goryeo Dynasty.
The Khitan took control of the Sixteen Prefectures south of the Great Wall for helping the foundation of the short-lived Later Jin Dynasty (936-947), which ruled only a small part of China.
In 922, the Khitan leader Yelü Abaoji sent horses and camels to Goryeo as gifts of friendship. However, when Balhae fell to the Khitan a few years later, King Taejo embraced refugees from Balhae and pursued a policy of northern expansion (possibly enabled by the absence of a fellow Korean kingdom in what was once Goguryeo territory). In 942, the Khitan sent another 50 camels to Goryeo, but this time Taejo refused the gift, exiled the envoy to an island, and had the camels starved to death.
Succeeding Goryeo rulers continued the anti-Khitan policy. Jeongjong, 3rd Monarch of Goryeo, raised an army of 300,000 to defend against the Khitan. Gwangjong of Goryeo built fortresses along the northwest and aggressively developed the military fortifications of present-day Pyongan and Hamgyong provinces.
Liao's expansion[edit]
In 962, Gwangjong allied with the Song dynasty of central China and pursued a northern expansion policy. Additionally, some Balhae refugees had formed a small state called Jeongan in mid-Yalu River region and allied with Song and Goryeo against the Khitan.
The Khitan eventually regained internal stability under the strong leadership of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, who sought to counter regional isolation. After conquering Jeongan-guk in 986 and attacking the Jurchens on the lower Yalu River in 991, the Khitans initiated attacks against Goryeo.
First Invasion[edit]
In 993, the Khitan invaded Goryeo's northwest border with 800,000 troops.[7][9] They forced Goryeo to end its tributary relations with the Song dynasty, to become a Liao tributary state and to adopt Liao's calendar.[10][11][12][13][14][15] The Goryeo diplomat Seo Hui negotiated and obtained Liao consent to incorporate the land between the border of Liao and Goryeo up to the Yalu River, which was at the time occupied by troublesome Jurchen tribes, citing that in the past the land belonged to Goguryeo, the predecessor to Goryeo.[16][17][18] With this agreement, the Khitans withdrew. However, in spite of the settlement, Goryeo continued to communicate with Song,[19] having strengthened its defenses by building fortresses in the newly gained northern territories.[20]
Second Invasion[edit]
In 1010, the Khitan attacked Goryeo again during an internal Goryeo power struggle. King Hyeonjong was forced to flee the capital, which was occupied and burnt.[21][22][23] The Khitan forces withdrew after Goryeo admitted the Khitan's suzerainty over it.[24]
Third Invasion[edit]
When Goryeo continued to refuse to submit or return the northern territories, the Khitan attacked once more. Goryeo generals, including Gang Gam-chan, were able to inflict heavy losses on the Khitan army in the Battle of Kuju in 1018. In the next year, however, the Liao assembled another large army.[25] Understanding the difficulty of achieving a decisive victory, the two nations signed a peace treaty in 1022.

I've been having the same problem as others for the last couple weeks. I enter my credentials, specify a blog to import, then wait. And wait. A week goes by, and I figure *something* should've happened by now.
I found this thread with the tip about turning off the custom domain for the Tumblr blog you want to import, but I've run into what seems to be a new problem.
Today I cleared my Tumblr credentials from the importer to start fresh. I was about to shut off my custom domain when I found that the importer can't even connect to Tumblr anymore. I get "Tumblr replied with an error:" but, of course, the error is blank.
I tried emailing Tumblr about this and I'm not entirely sure the rep who replied understood what I was asking. But if they did, they made it sound like WordPress' Tumblr importer isn't supported by their API.
Anyone know what's up? Has there been an official word from WordPress about what's going on? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower, Violin Virtuoso and Composer of Color in Late 18th Century Europe - Studies in the History & Interpretation of Music S. v. 115 (Hardback)Clifford D Panton
Hardback Published: 01/06/2005
- Can be ordered from our supplier
This study is a chronology of the life of the mulatto violin prodigy, George Bridgetower from the late eighteenth century to the nineteenth century. This powerful biography brings to light for the first time the fascinating life of the violin prodigy George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower, a virtuoso and composer of color in late eighteenth century Europe. This first major book on George Bridgetower is based on solid, scholarly research and documentation. The brilliant life of this violin virtuoso is presented in clear, articulate language. The documented biography leads the astonished reader through Bridgetower's life, (previously unknown to present-day readers), from child prodigy to adult virtuoso performing in the Royal Courts of Europe. Importantly, the biography also presents Bridgetower's ancestral heritage - African and Caribbean - with documentation from sociologists, historians and musicologists. The chronology of Bridgetower's life (1778-1860) unfolds with careful attention to detail and as in-depth as possible based on the material researched to the present by the author, Dr. Clifford Panton. This major original work places Dr. Panton as the leading authority on the life of the violinist composer George Bridge tower and opens the door for further Bridgetower research. This biography is divided into nine chapters, with an Introduction, Table of Contents, List of Figures, Appendix, Bibliography, and Index. The list of figures contains eight art masterpiece reproductions (present unavailable to this reviewer) dating from 1405 (DeBellifortis), including Van Dyck (1623) among others, and up to George Alexander Gratton. The first chapter states that George Bridgetower was born in Baila, Poland, on October 11, 1778, and died in Peckham, Surrey, England, on February 29, 1860. His mother was Polish and his father, John Augustus Frederick Bridgetower, was an Abyssinian from the West Indies. The chapter cites documentation, dates and important information from historians regarding the history of the slave trade, John Augustus Bridgetower's probable escape from Barbados and his arrival in Europe, possibly in the 1770s, is presented. By 1780,

Lorax Lesson Unlearned: The GOP Wildfire Strategy Will Destroy Our Great Western Forests
I testified last Friday at a House hearing on the ever-growing crisis of bark beetles, drought, and wildfires. The full C-Span video is here.
My written testimony is here. I decided to practice what I preach in my forthcoming book and use the figures of speech to make my points in the oral testimony (which you can see here, with transcript).
Congressman Ed Markey, a man who understands the figures, especially metaphors, had a great chart on the explosion of players hitting more than 40 home runs during the steroid era. He and I talk about that chart in the clip below.
I also discussed the GOP strategy of dealing with our Western wild fires and droughts and bark beetles solely through thinning, while reject climate science and climate solutions. Apparently, the GOP missed the day in school when they read the Lorax (see "The Lorax Speaks For The Trees — Get Over It Conservatives").
Here's the video (and a partial transcript follows):
Joe Romm: We know that carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels traps heat. We know they call them greenhouse gasses for a reason. They didn't, you know, make up the term 'greenhouse gasses' because the gasses don't act like a green house, they do. And if there were no greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, the planet would be 60 degrees Fahrenheit colder and there would be no civilization as we know it.
I'd just like to make a point, I've learned a great deal at this hearing, I'm not an expert on short-term forest management, I'm kind of an expert on the medium and long-term. There's no question that trees compete for water and there's no question that drought is a big problem for trees — and it also exacerbates the bark beetle problem because trees kill bark beetle by releasing sap. But I've now heard this theory that the solution to the drought problem is that we thin forests so that trees don't compete so much.
The problem is that we're on a track where your districts are going to see levels of soil moisture in the coming decades that are worse than the Dust Bowl, which was a minus-3 on the Palmer Drought Severity Index, which means that you're going to thin, there's going to be more drought and wildfire and some other congressmen from your district will come in 20 years and say 'we gotta thin some more.' And then 20 years after that, we'll thin until there is nothing left. The thinning to deal with drought is not a sustainable solution; it's the end of all trees in all of your districts. And as someone who has skied in your district [Rep. Tipton (R-CO)] and lived in your district, and hiked in your district, I must say, I love your district.
Representative Ed Markey: Mr. Romm, I thank you. And in the same way we knew that the utility infielders and substitute outfielders who went from 13 home runs to 50 home runs, somehow that we knew they weren't Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays and something must be wrong and that the extra weight lifting that they were doing wasn't making them Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. I think most people know that there's something wrong and we are contributing to it and as soon as we admit it, I think, and I mean the beef industry and every other industry I think, we'll get to the heart of the solutions we have to put in place. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Where's the Lorax when we need him?

7 Responses to Lorax Lesson Unlearned: The GOP Wildfire Strategy Will Destroy Our Great Western Forests
I think a serious piece this puzzle can be found in a paper I just discovered, written by a woman named Gail Zawacki. It's titled PILLAGE, PLUNDER & POLLUTE, LLC (A Global Glut of Invisible Trace Gases is Destroying Life on Earth). It can be found as a 138 page PDF file here:
Zawacki's basic premise is that tropospheric (low level) ozone produced by fossil fuel combustion interferes with the ability of many plants to fix carbon, thereby making global warming worse in a way few now suspect. In effect she claims we have put the forests of the world on "pack-a-day" habit for the past century. While trees are hardy and long lived, this poisoning is slowly killing them and in the process dumping yet more carbon into the sky! Obviously if Ms. Zawacki is right, the implications are ominous. Here are two links for more information:
There is no scientific support for the notion that thinning does anything about reducing fire danger:
This belongs in the collection of lies that includes clean coal, natural gas, and ethanol. When the science comes out, nothing changes, since the corporations own Washington.
Here's another stat: After a forest fire, 80% of the carbon remains onsite, partly as productive charcoal soil amendments. When you log a forest, 80% of the site carbon goes into the atmosphere. This is the opposite of intuition and common sense, but is what the science says on the subject.
Not that this matters these days in Washington.
Ken Burns' latest, "The Dust Bowl", airs November 18 & 19. Official site:
Can't find anything indicating he will reference current Dustbowlification, although a Times-Picayune article quotes him as saying: "We quickly discovered, however, a much more complex, tragic, and interesting story that continues to resonate today."
Too late in the election cycle. Still, it's an event that could be leveraged in a dozen ways by climate messengers in the days before it airs – and serve as a solid platform for discussion in the days following. For PBS viewers, at least. Great piggyback opportunity.
How 'bout Joe Romm & Ken Burns comparing notes on Charlie Rose, say a week after airing?! Seriously.
Re:the hearing… I love the way Markey let's his cosmic humor about the absurdity of the GOP position come through. He is genuinely amused with having to make a show of reducing the reality to 3rd grade terms the Rebubs can understand, knowing that most of them are faking their reticence for twisted ideological purposes. Oh what a tangled web we weave….
Thank you Joe for pulling no punches.
You've got to hand it to the Right. They are the same everywhere, although the Anglosphere does seem to possess the ultimate dregs. The combination of stupidity, ignorance, arrogance and sheer misanthropic viciousness is a certain formula for catastrophe. They get everything wrong, in the most egregious manner. We can spent our species' twilight years contemplating the wretched question-how in the name of the Unspeakable did the decent fraction of humanity allow the evil nut-jobs to take over?
I am thinking we should be using the suns focused energy to produce bio-char as well as capturing the volatile gas for use. It is going to take a lot of man power, think jobs, to back humanity out of the morass we have built and are preparing to pass on to future generations.
Republican's don't read. The truth interferes with their fantasy. They make shit up all the time (Inhofe is making money on made up shit). They discovered that no one except the left cares about their lies. Most do not pay attention, especially the Republican voters, to reality. They make shit up about: the economy, supposed international threats, jobs, health care, national defense, and every major and minor issue that is important to our nation. They make shit up about their party icon Reagan. They never check the facts. All the lies are taken as fact by their base and the so called independents seem to only pay attention for about one month just before elections that come around every two years. Republican politicians have discovered there is no down side to lying and actually protecting the American public from real threats to their lives and property has no bearing on how the Republican electorate vote.
So it doesn't matter to Republicans, politicians or electorate, how much forest burns, how many homes are destroyed, how many people die, or if the water runs out. It doesn't matter which states are devastated. None of it matters. This may change in the future but my experience with talking with the Republican voters is that fantasy trumps reality and the Republican fantasy peddlers are loved by their constituents. BTW, I live in the land of Issa so I know quite a few of these fantasy lovers.
I watched your testimony and that of others, nice job. Ed Markey is a national treasure.
What surprised me more than anything were the repeated, single-minded and laughable claims by GOP witnesses that the drought is bad because of – i) insufficient of timber cutting ii) not enough grazing iii) enforcing land use rules, not kow-towing to local special interests. iv) small size of fuel 'treatments.'
I was encouraged that several of those witnesses took copies of your article.

A genetic researcher hires Fernelle, a 16-year-old linguist savant, to simply help translate the strange speech of a pair of her patients, who've been damaged by a genetic experiment and are now going through some sort of evolutionary change. But Fernelle's dad pushes her to discover more about these "mutagens," believing they hold the key to a universal language, and ends up regretting it when she begins to prefer their company over his. This comic sci-fi drama from Venus Theatre was penned by award-winning playwright Fengar Gael.
