DD is 10 months old and is ana. to milk. Today, we tried scrambled egg with that dairy free "cheese" in it. The only other egg she has had before was in a banana bread. DH made the eggs and after feeding them to her tells me the "cheese" expired in March. I noticed as soon as she was done eating them that she had some red blotches around her mouth, but not like typical hives. (her skin is very sensitive and she often gets red splotches) About 20 minuted after eating them (while fussy the whole time) she began vomiting. Like straight up exorcist vomiting, I have never seen anything like it. There was TONS of mucus coming out of her nose and the vomit was EXTREMELY mucusy. This went on for about an hour, allergist said it didn't seem like she needed epi, but I almost gave it to her. Do you ladies think this sound like an egg allergy or just that she ate bad "cheese." She was allergy tested for top 8 when she was 4 months old but the only positive she had was milk. Thanks for any help you can provide.
egg allergy?

I think it definately could be the eggs. Baking eggs changes the proteins and alot of people allergic to eggs (including my LO) can handle eggs baked but not actual eggs. That could be why your LO could eat banana bread but not scrambled eggs. Allergy testing has lots of false positives and negatives. And its hard to test for something they never had before. I would not give eggs anymore until you see your allergist again.

Can your kiddo do birthday cake? We are approaching her first birthday and I'm at a loss for what to do with the cake.
Also, does it seem like I should have used the epi? To me it seemed like two systems involved GI-vomiting and Respiratory-nasal mucus
Obviously the Benedryl worked if it was allergy and not the "cheese"

At bndowns - There are lots of really wonderful vegan cake recipes that don't call for milk or eggs. Everything from standard wacky cakes to more exotic creations. The Cooking With Food Allergies board has a stick post at the top of recipes and there are also some cake threads there. For a basic wacky cake, we like:
Dairy Free Egg Free Kid Pleasing Recipes and Tips is a useful cookbook. And for baking, vegan cookbooks are great. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World is fantastic!

Yes my LO can do birthday cakes. But I make them all myself (using eggs) because I don't trust the bakeries with LOs nut allergy.
Not sure if you should of used the epi. I didn't have an epi pen yet when my LO had his reactions. Looking back, I might of used it when he reacted to peanut butter (that was way worse than eggs even though he tested the same number for both). Both times I gave him benadryl immediately and it began to help.

That's what happened when my daughter had scrambled eggs for the first time. She projectile vomited. She only had one hive that disappeared really fast without any medicine. At first I thought she just choked on it, but after being exposed to egg in cupcakes, etc she had more reactions. She got hives, runny eyes, & runny nose. Since your daughter had the hives around her mouth I really think it's the eggs.
I hope you can get to the bottom of this. It'd be really nice if she could eat eggs in baked goods. It will make your life much easier!

My guy does totally find with baked eggs, like in cake or bread, but can't do scrambled or plain eggs. I think that's pretty common. I would say avoid eggs, and check with the doc or allergist. The good news is that a lot of kids outgrow milk and egg allergies.
That's exactly what Stinkerbell did the first (and only) time she had scrambled eggs. Vomitted, went limp, and had hives from ears-to-toes within minutes.
Thankfully, I had given her her morning dose of Atarax (antihistimine) twenty minutes before breakfast. At this point we'd not been prescribed an epi and hadn't had any tests done.
Now that we've confirmed (when she was 16 months) severe egg/milk/soy/PN/TN reactions we have the epi.
Our allergist told us that she did need the epi for that type of a reaction.

Currently I have a 1TB drive with the following arrangement
- 500GB NTFS (with my data on it)
- 500GB HFS+ (empty)
I would like to change this to:
- 1TB HFS+ (with my data)
How can I effectively change the NTFS to HFS? I tried using Clonezilla but it can't clone a partition with a destination on the same disk.
I don't want to use traditional copy/paste/rsync etc because the data has a ton of tiny files, so it is MUCH faster to do it with something like clonezilla.
If no suggestions on here, I will probably image the 500GB data to an external drive, then image it back, but I think I tried that before and it didn't work so well....

Banks has teamed up with electro musician Orlando Higginbottom, better known as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, to drop her latest single, "Warm Water." The track has been causing a buzz across the blogs, with Hand Clap Movement describing it as "[f]ull of warm unabashed coolness and silky melodies that put you in the most serene of moods," while La.Ga.Sta. called "Warm Water" a "slow-building and subtly melodic tune."

The-Dream's past claims to fame include co-writing Justin Bieber's "Baby" and Rihanna's hit "Umbrella," but this time he has teamed up with Jay-Z to drop "High Art."
Music blog RCRDLBL calls "High Art" "an operatic bid for summer jam glory" while Idolator writes " it should go well with sweaty, blurry summer nights."

Publishing | Sales of IDW Publishing's My Little Pony comics, in single-issue and graphic novel format but not counting digital, have topped 1 million copies. (It does really well in the iBookstore — there are multiple issues in the Top 10 every week — although it seldom registers on the other digital comics platforms.) IDW's Ted Adams says this is because it's such a great comic, but shrewd marketing such as offering a special Scholastic Book Fair edition with a bonus pony figure probably helped a lot. [ICv2]
Digital comics | The motion-comics platform Madefire has secured $5.2 million in funding. In July it announced agreements with four comics publishers — IDW, BOOM! Studios, Top Cow and iTV — and the first IDW comics came out in August. Madefire also has a partnership with DeviantArt. [Publishers Weekly]

Side Effect with Animation v1.0a2
I was changing up some code and wanted to point this out to see if this is an issue.
This snip works great. Props for the inline animation.
If I am not using this right then could someone please advise. If this is a bug then I hope this helps.
Tested in: IE7, FireFox
26 Feb 2007 7:34 PM #2
At the moment, it is slightly confusing, but you cannot chain just any Element methods together with effects like that. The reason is that only the Fx methods go through the internal effects queue so that they get sequenced correctly. Adding non-Fx method calls (like update) in the chain can have unexpected results.
One thing you can do is pass a callback into the effects methods, so you might try adding a separate function (it can be anonymous) that does your final update, and pass that in as the callback to your last effect so that it gets called after the slideOut completes.
We'll be sure to clarify this limitation once the docs have been updated.

Where Tharp and Sinatra Shine
"Come Fly With Me," the new musical that recently opened at the Alliance Theatre here with "vocals by Frank Sinatra" and "dance by Twyla Tharp," comes framed by stardust. It begins with an intimate reverie for dancer Charlie Neshyba-Hodges as a daydreaming busboy who sketches some dance moves of longing while Sinatra's voice, a cappella, offers a verse of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust," which ends by invoking "the music of the years gone by." Two acts later, the capper, as grand as the opener is understated, gets the audience cheering and on its feet as a constellation of stars forms a portrait of Ole Blue Eyes; he's sporting his signature fedora, all aglow in gold dust and highlighted with celestial blues. (The scenic design is by James Youmans; the lighting, by Donald Holder.)
In between, Ms. Tharp—who "conceived" the production "by special arrangement with the Frank Sinatra Family and Frank Sinatra Enterprises"—offers, as choreographer and director, an array of finely calibrated dancing, often shot through with daring and extreme physicality. It all finds motivation in memorable and, yes, familiar music connected to the seemingly evergreen Sinatra, who was born in 1915 and died in 1998. The mating of music and moves is a smooth one, with Ms. Tharp's dancemaking theatrically plugged into Sinatra's singing so that the one reflects the other to shining effect.
Come Fly With Me
Alliance Theatre, Atlanta
Through Oct. 11
Singer Dee Daniels and a 16-piece band that includes four trumpets and four trombones, led by Dennis Mackrel, gleam visually and musically. (Sam Lutfiyya is "music production supervisor.") Prominently arranged in a deco-style bandstand, they back the action and provide it with palpable inspiration and challenges.
Though "Come Fly With Me," handsomely emblazoned on the front curtain, might strike Sinatra-savvy audiences as a reference to the maturing matinee idol's 1957 record album of that name, the musical's material borrows only the album's title, not its songs. Once the seven pairs of dancers—four central and three subsidiary couples—enter the chrome-sharp nightclub set, it becomes clear that Ms. Tharp is the one extending the invitation to flight.
Though there is the odd fedora on a couple of the men, and a white dinner jacket on Alexander Brady as the club's avuncular "Maitre d'," the time is not the 1950s. We are seeing "one night" in the contemporary era of Ms. Tharp.
Each of the women is individually distinguished by Katherine Roth's outfits. All but one have short skirts and high-heeled shoes. (The exception: petite Rika Okamoto in capri pants and flats.) Legs, legs and legs, atop tautly arched feet, have long said "Tharp," who in her own days as a dancer displayed some of the most notable gams in the business, even in her early, more experimental period.
Ms. Tharp entered the world of concert dance in 1965. Her work established connections to Sinatra's music as early as 1976, when she created a short-lived duet for herself and Mikhail Baryshnikov to three Sinatra songs at American Ballet Theatre, and her biggest Broadway splash came in 2002—the Billy Joel-inspired musical, "Movin' Out." "Come Fly With Me" has both Broadway aspirations and legs.
The show progresses as a dance-and-music offering. Except for some momentary asides or outbursts voiced by the cast's most vivid and feisty performer, Karine Plantadit, all of the show's words come via the singing of Sinatra or Ms. Daniels. At one point Ms. Daniels joins her voice with Sinatra's for a duet.
Ms. Plantadit and Keith Roberts, both "Movin' Out" veterans, are the most prominent couple in "Come Fly With Me." The charismatic and extroverted Ms. Plantadit creates a sometimes-zany leonine character, with a golden mane of hair and sleek legs that suggest a female Colossus of Rhodes. Mr. Roberts's strong dancing and partnering outshine his somewhat pale personality. The arc of the couple's relationship goes from connecting (in a swirling duet to "Summer Wind") to combative (in a knockabout tussle during "That's Life") to reconciliatory (danced to "One for My Baby").
Mr. Neshyba-Hodges is almost as outgoing and high-key a performer as Ms. Plantadit. The sheen on the stocky dancer's shaved head seems to glow with extra light whenever he smiles. His initially awkward attempt to ingratiate himself with a sweetly innocent, pink-clad Laura Mead establishes an eager adorational aspect to their sometimes acrobatic duets.
Act One ends with the cast dancing to the instrumental "Jumpin' at the Woodside," which recalls the links between Sinatra and bandleader Count Basie. By then, some 20 musical numbers have introduced and intermixed the leading couples. These include ex-Merce Cunningham dancer Holley Farmer, a statuesque redhead dressed in electric blue and presented as the object of the desires of both a lyrical, introspective Matthew Dibble and an aggressive, powerful John Selya. Among the secondary couples, Todd Burnsed makes his sleek presence count with special grace.
Act Two turns out to be less linear than the first, taking off in ways both unpredictable and fascinating. There's a dreamlike atmosphere in the second half, a stripping down, literally and figuratively, that puts the cast of characters in more mysterious and compelling lights.
Something between a pajama party and a hallucinatory orgy leads to a radiant denouement. To the rousing yet soothing strains of "My Way," all seven women, now dressed in satiny white gowns, are ably but unconventionally supported by their men in suit jackets.
All this leads to the expansive firmament where Sinatra reigns, a galaxy unto himself. Below, the cast members, dressed again in the clothes in which they started the evening, remind us of their individual distinctions. Each salutes both the audience and the man whose music inspired Ms. Tharp to take flight her way.
—Mr. Greskovic writes about dance for the Journal.

Gaining an advantage is always satisfying, so Nissan must be ecstatic watching rivals scramble to release supermini crossovers to take on its own Juke. The quirky looks and keen pricing have clearly struck a chord with British buyers, and the car has become a common sight on our roads.
But despite this new-found familiarity, the unique 'frog-eye' design means the Juke still looks like nothing else on the road.
The twin sets of headlights are separated by the wide dimpled grille, while at the back the curving tail-lamps neatly link the sloping roofline with the bulbous rear arches. The Acenta model in our pictures gets 17-inch wheels, but the Shiro trim we tested uses a more intricate alloy design with a striking two-tone pattern. However, while the Juke is certainly distinctive, it's far from stylish, and the Vauxhall Mokka edges ahead here.
The new car presses home its advantage inside, as it feels less cramped and car-like than the Nissan. The interior plastics are hard and everything feels flimsier than it does in the Mokka. There are some nice touches, though, such as the 370Z-style cowled dials and the backlit centre console, which can instantly switch to display either the climate controls or trip computer info.
The Shiro model also comes with a standard kit list that should embarrass both its rivals. Touchscreen sat-nav, full leather trim with contrasting white stitching, heated seats and keyless entry are all included in the asking price. You would need to spend at least £2,000 on options to equip either the Countryman or the Mokka to the same high level.
Nissan is able to offer this keen value for money because the Juke is more compact than its rivals here. As an urban runabout it's fine for space, but the narrow rear doors and cramped cabin mean the rear seats are better suited to children than adults. The boot is also small, at 251 litres, although a standard split/fold rear bench enhances practicality.
This lack of space means the Nissan isn't as useful as its rivals on longer trips, but its size did come in handy in our performance tests. As the smallest and lightest car here, the Juke feels better suited to its 1.6-litre petrol engine, and the throttle responds quicker than the Mokka's – allowing it to pull hard in-gear and beat the much shorter-geared MINI.
The vague steering and short-throw five- speed gearbox feel tuned to suit city driving, and on open roads the Juke shows a worrying lack of composure, skipping over larger bumps and leaning heavily through tighter turns. Cabin refinement is also really poor, and a lack of grip means the Nissan is not as reassuring as the Mokka.
Our Shiro is fitted with stop-start and costs a little more than its rivals, but with the lowest CO2 output it should be cheaper to run. The Nissan has also scored very highly in our annual Driver Power survey, where it finished fourth this year. The Juke has struggled to make its mark in the past – is it now ready to shine at last?

By Combined Forces Command - AfghanistanJanuary 17, 2007
KABUL, Afghanistan (Army News Service, Jan. 17, 2007) - Two Afghan citizens prevented a terrorist attack yesterday morning when a vehicle loaded with explosives attempted to crash through the front gate of Camp Phoenix.
"Without any regard for their personal safety, a local Afghan security officer and an interpreter immediately recognized that this was a terrorist attack," said 1st Lt. Cathrin Fraker, Task Force Phoenix spokesperson.
"Together, the two prevented the driver from detonating his explosives after they failed to explode during the crash. With the assistance of the U.S. security forces, they dragged the terrorist from the vehicle where U.S. security force Soldiers then detained him," she explained.
The area was immediately evacuated and an explosive ordinance demolition, or EOD, team was called to the scene.
Security force Soldiers, with assistance from the Afghan National Police and U.S. Soldiers, immediately cordoned the area and waited for the EOD team to disarm the bomb.
"If it wasn't for the quick actions of the local nationals working for the U.S. Forces, several lives would have been lost," said Col. David B. Enyeart, deputy task force commander.
During an attempt to disarm the explosives, the device detonated. There were no U.S. or Coalition Soldiers injured, Fraker said.
"We are grateful for the bravery and the continued diligence of our Afghan partners and the security force Soldiers and who protect this base," Enyeart said.

The 2016 Memphis In May International Festival closes out Saturday with a pair of new additions to the monthlong lineup.The Saturday by the river begins with the Great American River Run – a half-marathon and a 5K run with a riverside and Downtown route. There is, of course, a post-race party, which then segues into 901Fest – four stages in Tom Lee Park featuring local music and arts, from Al Kapone and Frayser Boy to the North Mississippi Allstars to Opera Memphis and the New Ballet Ensemble & School.The idea here, and it may be an evolving concept, seems to be local and diverse and not as much of an emphasis on the stages and what happens there at the expense of those who stay after the run and those who come for the music and the arts.To dot the I on that point, 901Fest also includes an air show.

It may be chilly outside, but it might as well be July on the Overton Park greensward with all of the political heat that is building.The thermometer spiked when more than two dozen trees donated to the Overton Park Conservancy in 2012 were removed this week by the Memphis Zoo which is preparing for large crowds in March.That's when its new Zambezi Hippo River Camp exhibit opens to much anticipation and much fanfare.That and the New Year's Eve legal opinion favoring the zoo's position on its use of the greensward for overflow parking set the stage for a dispute the administration of Mayor Jim Strickland has had to mediate at less than two weeks in office.
TIME Magazine this week named 13-year-old Moziah Bridges, CEO of Mo's Bows, as one of the "30 Most Influential Teens of 2015." That ranking put him alongside the likes of Malia Obama; Bindi Irwin, a conservationist and daughter of the late Steve Irwin; and Ahmed Mohamed, the ninth grader arrested recently for bringing a clock to school that authorities mistook for a bomb. The distinction is only the latest in a string of them for Bridges.
When one of Memphis' youngest CEOs took the first steps toward what would become his internationally recognized company Mo's Bows, he did it under the watchful eye of his grandmother, who showed him how to use her scrap fabric to make and sell his own ties.
To look ahead to next season, we must first go back to last season. To that heady time when the Grizzlies held a 2-1 series lead over the Golden State Warriors in the NBA's Western Conference semifinals.
Of the 15 Grizzlies players on guaranteed contracts, four are entering their second season in the NBA and one is a rookie.
While all of those players currently reside outside the team's regular rotation, the four second-year players have a chance to carve out a niche for themselves; rookie forward Jarell Martin fractured his foot in a summer workout and his development figures to be delayed.

Just before the Grizzlies departed for California and the start of their preseason training camp this week, point guard Mike Conley explained why he was going to continue wearing that mask.

We hope that Mike Conley's mask is in a museum somewhere, never to be needed again.
We hope Marc Gasol has not made the mistake of always carrying his wallet in the same hip pocket. I mean, $110 million is pretty heavy weight. We don't need Big Spain having back issues.
Memphis-based Central Defense Security has opened four branches in three states since first setting up shop in Memphis in July 2005.
Those offices have served the firm well for the first decade of its existence, helping it grow to employ today between 1,500 to 1,600 people, estimates chief operating officer Larry Carroll. The firm also has expanded its security plan services into an assortment of new industry categories, from hospitals to retail lots, office buildings and more.
Training camp for the Memphis Grizzlies is just three weeks away.

Which explains why five days before Ole Miss was to open the season on Saturday, Sept. 5 vs. Tennessee-Martin, junior center Robert Conyers was asked to weigh in on the topic.
With Tennessee's football team three weeks into fall camp, the offensive depth charts are set at some positions, while others remain open.
UT coach Butch Jones enters the 2015 season with no questions at quarterback or running back. His has plenty of receivers and all should get their share of playing time.

The Crews Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Memphis currently is a hub for social entrepreneurs.
The phrase "social entrepreneur" has a somewhat loose definition, but it generally involves the use of business tools and practices to solve social concerns.

MEMPHIS, SERVED IN THE SHELL. Following up last week's column, this from a reader:

GRAMBLING, La. -- After letting rights lapse to its familiar
"G" on football helmets, Grambling State University is planning
to introduce a new logo for the first time in decades -- much to the
consternation of some fans.
Since the rights to the logo lapsed, outside vendors can produce
and sell items with the logo, all without giving a dime to the
"Grambling paraphernalia sells all over the country. We're
losing money hand over fist," said football coach Melvin Spears.
Athletics director Willie Jeffries confirmed the logo change,
and said an unveiling could come as early as this week.
Some school supporters have a notable lack of enthusiasm.
"Brand identity is not something to play with," said 1990
Grambling graduate Kenn Rashad, who operates a Web site devoted to
the Southwestern Athletic Conference called SWACPage.
"Establishing a successful brand isn't something that can happen
Since the 1980s, Grambling used an oval-shaped "G" on its
football helmets similar to that of the NFL's Green Bay Packers and
the NCAA's Georgia Bulldogs, except in color scheme. Grambling
featured a black-and-gold palette, sometimes circled with an accent
of red.
But government records show Grambling lost the copyright on that
logo almost seven years ago, as well as protection for its school
Once the lapse was discovered by new Grambling president Horace
Judson, plans to change the logo got under way, according to
"The big 'G' will still be in play," Spears said. "But we've
got to do some things that make sure our logo is identified only
with us, not with Green Bay or Georgia, as well. The 'G' will still
be on the helmet. It will be a form of that, with a tiger as
Jeffries said updated helmets will be ready in time for football
season, and the design will be standard across all
university-sponsored sports.
Still, the university administration has been peppered with
e-mail protests about the plan.
"It's a sad day," said Grambling booster John Wilborn. "I
know that some individuals think we are too close to the Green Bay
and Georgia 'G.' The color, however, is the difference."

College Station - Texas A&M students with a valid ID will be admitted free to the first and second-round games of the Dick's Sporting Goods NIT Season Tip-Off on Tuesday and Wednesday at Reed Arena.
As an NCAA-sponsored event, the games were not a part of the students' all-sports ticket packages. But first-year Head Coach Mark Turgeon paid $10,000 to provide the free tickets. There will not be an online lottery registration for the NIT games, but students will get credit for attending.
On Tuesday, UTEP meets Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 5 p.m., followed by the A&M-Oral Roberts game at 8 p.m. The losers of those games will meet in the consolation game on Wednesday at 5 p.m. with the winners playing in the regional finals at 8 p.m.

Members of the South Canarsie Civic Association are encouraging residents to speak out against what they believe is a flawed rezoning initiative.
The Department of City Planning is expected to hold hearings on its rezoning plan for a large section of Canarsie on Wednesday, May 6, at 9:30 a.m. The hearings will take place at the Klitgord Auditorium at the New York City College of Technology, 285 Jay Street, in Downtown Brooklyn.
"Usually people have to go to Reade Street in Manhattan, so it's good that the hearings are going to be held in Brooklyn," South Canarsie Civic Association president Mary Ann Sallustro explained to a grouping of 20 residents at her recent meeting at the Hebrew Educational Society on Seaview Avenue. "We're going to be the first item on the calender because they're expecting hundreds of people for the other hearings."
City Planning members will also be holding holding hearings on rezoning proposals for Brighton Beach and Coney Island that day, officials said.
The rezoning of Canarsie −− which focuses on 250 blocks bounded by Paerdegat Basin, Paerdegat Avenue North and Ralph Avenue to the west, Canarsie Park and the Belt Parkway to the south, Fresh Creek on the east and Foster Avenue, Farragut Road and Avenue D to the north −− intends to protect the "low−rise, low−density character of the neighborhood," according to the Department of City Planning website.
City officials fear that without the rezoning, development in Canarsie, predominantly considered a low−rise and low−density residential neighborhood that has been "experiencing development pressure in the last several years," will be inconsistent with the prevailing scale.
"The community has been concerned with an increased frequency of one− and two−family homes being torn down and replaced with attached multi−family developments, eroding the character of certain blocks," city officials said in their report. The city's proposal calls for R−4 and R−5 zoning, which they believe would sustain the existing character. Usually, R4 and R5 zoning includes semi−detatched one− and two−family homes.
The Department of City Planning also wants tp "upzone" the commercial districts along Flatlands Avenue and Rockaway Parkway between Foster and Flatlands Avenue to a new R5D designation, which would allow ground−floor retail and two stories of housing. The zoning also allows four−story residential buildings, which Sallustro and South Canarsie Civic Association members oppose.
"With R5D, someone can take a one− or two−story building and build a four−story building," Sallustro said. "If that developer chooses to put a community facility in the building, they're allowed an extra story, which means a five−story building could be built on Rockaway Parkway."
Buildings this size would be "like a skyscraper" when compared to the current housing stock in the neighborhood, added South Canarsie Civic Association member Steven Kaye.
"Many of these are small pre−war buildings," he said. "When they go, what's going to happen to the parking? What's going to happen to the side streets?"
"[The city] is giving the community lip service when they speak about downzoning to preserve the neighborhood," Kaye added, claiming that some of the zoning changes will allow developers to build five−story buildings on 'bungalow blocks" in Remsen Heights and other areas below sea level. "What's coming up now was rewritten by the city's Economic Development Corporation, which strictly pushes for growth and new businesses."
"The city has no interest in preserving anything," he said.
City officials said that both Community Board 18 and Borough President Marty Markowitz have already signed off on the zoning proposal.

Johnston speaks out about feud with Palins
Published: Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 11:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 11:39 a.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) The father of Bristol Palin's baby boy says he's been treated like an outcast since the end of Gov. Sarah Palin's run for vice president.
Appearing in an interview broadcast Wednesday on CBS's "The Early Show," Levi Johnston said he felt a need to "get my side of the story out there."
A worsening feud has developed between the 19-year-old Johnston and the governor's family in the wake of Johnston's complaints about not being able see his young son Tripp, often enough. Now there is a dispute about whether Johnston had actually lived with the Palins.
Bristol Palin is Sarah Palin's daughter, and at one point she had agree to marry Johnston, but that is now off.
Johnston said he "wouldn't call any baby a mistake. I love him more than anything. I wouldn't trade him for the world."
Tripp was born Dec. 27.

Once again I come with a very easy problem that I can't seek to solve. Basically, I'm playing around with the fonts on my site: http://jackgrabon.com.
I've successfully changed the font family (more or less), but I can't alter the font size the way I want it. When I do inspect element, it tells me that the h1 tag is responsible for the white text and that media="screen" rules the page text (at least I think).
How do I fix this? I've gone into the only stylesheet on the back-end of WP, but there isn't that h1. I'm confused b/c I thought that there was a master stylesheet. Any help would be appreciated...

I have my template files all copied to my theme for editing.
I just spent a a bit of time editing the file cart>empty.php for the last little while - wondering why the changes weren't taking hold. Finally looked and found that the file has been changed it's now called cart-empty.php
So I just checked through the templates folder there's at least a dozen file changes. Additions, deletions, etc., If you've edited a lot of template files you might want to check into all the changes.
I thought the whole idea of editing copies was so that updates didn't mess with your edits. Guess not always the case.

Product Description
Borba, author and Today Show regular, employs a cookbooklike approach in her latest volume: rather than read through the entire tome, parents can flip to topics pertinent to their family. Borba opens with a friendly overview, noting that contemporary parents feel more stressed and find their roles increasingly difficult (June Cleaver, she points out, didn't have to deal with cyberbullying or Facebook). With characteristic wit, Borba identifies the ?seven deadly parenting styles,? including helicopter, buddy, incubator, bandage, paranoid, accessory parenting (judging themselves by their kids' accolades) and secondary parenting (relinquishing power to such outsiders as marketers or the media). In nine sections on family, behavior, character, emotions, social scene, school, special needs, day-to-day and electronics, the author urges readers to roll up their sleeves and get back to basic, instinctual parenting. As she tackles 101 issues ranging from sibling rivalry, lying and peer pressure to cell-phone use and TV addiction, Borba helps readers identify the reason underlying the behavior or problem, and work with 10 essential principles of change. With her no-nonsense yet compassionate voice, Borba once again delivers an indispensable resource for parents of toddlers to 13-year-olds. (Sept.) (Publishers Weekly, July 20, 2009)
A Recommended Read for Moms by Working Mother magazine: "Educational psychologist and Today show parenting expert Dr. Michele Borba has compiled 101 answers to your most perplexing kid conundrums, from early childhood challenges like thumbsucking and tantrums to later behaviors like bullying and drug use to universals like adoption and divorce. The easy-to-use problem/solution format will have you battling your biggest parenting crises with confidence." (October 2009)

From the moment my daughter got pregnant, I realized the parenting environment has changed. I expected that methods of putting the baby to sleep would be different of course--that changes every few years--but questioning vaccinations? I decided I had to read up on the new thinking.
I have to confess that I was worried. I have seen so many spoiled children in stores, restaurants, and other public places that I had reached the conclusion that modern parents either didn't believe in discipline or didn't want to bother. What I realized from this book is that, although many of the problems are different (and pretty serious and complex), the underlying methodology, the basic philosophies of good parenting, and the goals and purpose of good parents have not changed.
I have great sympathy for today's parents. Their battle to instill character and values is much more difficult than mine was, even though we brought up our children in the age of conspicuous consumption and a snobbish concern for designer labels. This societal message made children think that they were what they had or what they wore and it was a challenge to get them to define themselves according to real values. (Apparently, that problem is still ongoing, as it is directly addressed, and very well, under the topic of "Materialistic".)
But so are many other topics that might (or might not) affect you at some time: Is your child bossy with her friends? Is he ungrateful or selfish or spoiled? Is he gifted? Is he defiant and hot-tempered? Is she suffering due to the end of a friendship? Hooked on rewards? Watches too much television? Shy? A bully (or the victim of a bully)? You name it. It is here.
This book, which is encyclopedic in its scope, covers each topic with sensitivity, intelligence, practicality, great common sense and with a stress on intervening early to deal with the problem behavior or situation. It breaks up the problem into its components: first the signs and symptoms, then the immediate steps to address the problem, then the long-term changes that need to be implemented. It also tells you how that behavior is manifested in different ages and what you should expect from a child depending on his age. There is also recommended reading on the topic in case you want to research it further.
It is a great resource, not only for parents who are trying to bring up their children from pre-school through the pre-teen years, but also for grandparents who need to understand what our children and grandchildren are up against so we can offer help, support and, only occasionally, advice.
This book includes up to date topics such as cell phones, video games, cyberbullying, and internet safety. One section addresses school and includes topics on special needs ranging from ADHD, Gifted, Learning Disabilities, Weight Issues and even Depression. In addition, Michele Borba addresses issues related to family, behavior, character and emotions. For the most part, any topic you will need to address from toddler to tween is included.
Dr. Michele Borba is frequently featured as a Parent Expert on the TODAY Show. Just this past month, I have seen her on the show 3 times. I enjoy watching her because she comes across as if she is having a conversation with you instead of just passing along information. It is easy to pick up on her passion for parenting when you watch her talk. This book is where she shares practical information and solutions that she has collected over the years.
As a parent that needs one book, one resource to go to, I highly recommend this book.
If you only get one parenting book, this is the one I would recommend for dealing with kids ages 3-13.
Not only are the topics comprehensive, they are pertinent to today's parent. Just flipping through, I see topics like, "Growing Up Too Fast," "Disciplining Other Kids," "Organized Sports," "TV Addiction," and "Hooked on Rewards." And of course, Michele covers the classic parenting dilemas like sibling rivalry, stealing, and separation anxiety. I particularly appreciated the section on birth order - the traits and challenges of the first child, middle child, only child, etc., and the section titled, "The Deadliest Forms of Parenting."
More than other books, The Big Book of Parenting provides so much substance on each topic. Signs and symptoms of the problem, why you should work toward change, multiple solutions from multiple angles, creative ideas from other parents, the latest research, what to expect age by age, and other references to consult. It is simply packed with substance from which any parent can glean clarity and take away immediate action steps. And you walk away feeling not like you have to buy into one expert's point of view, but rather that you have gathered the best of the best research and advice. Thank you, Michele, for this valuable resource.
This is a very comprehensive book about raising children and covers so many topics that it should be good for most parents.
Major sections include: Family (adopted, divorce, middle child, new baby, etc.); Behavior (argues, back talk, biting, bossy, etc.); Character (bad manners, cheats, insensitive, intolerant, etc.); Emotions (angry, dependent, fearful, grief, etc.); Social Scene (bad friends, bullied, bullying, cliques, etc.); School (day care, gives up, homework, leadership, etc.); Special Needs (attention deficit, autism spectrum disorder, depressed, gifted, etc.); Day to Day (bathroom battles, boredom, chores, communicating, etc.); Electronics (cell phone, cyberbullying, internet safety, tv addiction, etc.).
Each topic defines the problem, gives you 'red flags' to look for, reasons to change, signs and symptoms, and multiple solutions. Often there are research notes as well as solutions that worked specifically from another parent's perspective.
The solutions are practical, make sense, and don't ask parents to do things that they might not be comfortable with. Parents are often asked to look at themselves as well - how do I react when this happens? Am I encouraging the bad behavior with my actions or words?
This is a very thorough, well written and easy to understand reference book. You may start by reading through some chapters and then going back to specific issues as they arise. It is not really a book that you will read cover to cover and retain all the information.
If you have an issue with your child, the book will only change what you are willing to work on. As with any parenting solution, to get to a different place, it does require behavior changes and commitment or the behavior will continue and parents will be frustrated.
Each section is comprehensive but it is not a complete guide to every problem. If your child has attention deficit disorder, this book will not tell you everything you need to know about that specific problem. It will give you an overview, it will help you better understand if your child had a friend with ADD, but further research into your child's specific problem will probably be necessary.
Overall, this is one of the best and easiest to use guides I've seen. I would highly recommend this book for any parent, even if your child is does not have any specific issues at this time.
As a tired mom of a three year old I don't have the time or energy to wade through chapters of single spaced pages. My child is three, I don't care about twelve year olds at this moment. And, when I have a twelve year old, I won't care about three year olds. But to get information from this text, I have to read it all.
I would recommend this book to child psychology students, or someone with a LOT of time on their hands. I would not recommend this book to busy parents in the trenches.
