How might hypothalamic dysfunction be treated?
Treatment is based on the specific cause of the hypothalamic dysfunction. For instance, if the condition is caused by a tumor, radiation and/or surgery may be warranted. If the hypothalamic dysfunction is caused by a hormone deficiency, the condition might be treated with hormone supplementation.[1] If the cause is unknown, treatment may be symptomatic. To date, no successful treatment has been reported for idiopathic hypothalamic dysfunction.[2]

Congrats!!! That is a really awesome starting CL! Way To go!!! Worth leaving the garden... as this card was one of your reasons for gardening in the first place!
Thanks so much! I had been a lurker for years here, boy am I glad I joined. I am so grateful for all the support and help this forum offers! I am definitely back in the Garden.
Update- I called in to Walmart and got transferred to someone who answered: "JCPenney credit... err.. I mean Walmart Credit services". After we chuckled about that she asked me three identity questions and approved me for the exact amount that showed on the pre-approval screen. $700. She said it was the store card.
I got the two cards I wanted. The Disney Visa I have wanted for years, the Walmart card I really only started thinking about once I joined here, mainly for the TU score. (And black friday, hope I get it by then). I have no reason to app anymore. I am going to tend the garden for the foreseeable future! Thanks everyone!

America Recycles Day 2008
What is it?
Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day, a celebration instituted 10 years ago by the National Recycling Coalition to encourage Americans to reduce the amount of trash going into landfills by recycling and buying recycled products. The Installation Management Command and the U.S. Army Environmental Command encourage Army Soldiers, families, civilians and contractor staff to save natural resources by making a conscious effort to recycle paper, glass and plastic.
What has the Army done?
Installations across the Army have well-developed solid waste disposal programs. As an institution, the Army diverts almost 65 percent of its solid waste from landfills. That number is even higher for demolition and construction waste. The Army diverts 74 percent of those materials from landfill disposal, effectively recycling almost a million tons of wood, metal, wire and other building supplies.
Why is this important to the Army?
The Army's recycling practices resulted in a $110 million total Army savings in landfill disposal costs in fiscal 2007. Sustainable practices such as recycling also enable the Army to strengthen readiness; improve installation operations; reduce costs and minimize impacts; and enhance the well-being of our families and community neighbors.
What's planned for the future?
In the long term, benefits from incorporating recycling and other sustainability efforts into installation environmental management systems will achieve zero net waste. In the near term the Army is promoting the following activities in recognition of America Recycles Day.
- Cell phones for Soldiers: Join Cell Phones for Soldiers Network. Installations can become a designated drop off site for old cell phones. Phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone- enough to provide an hour of talk time to Soldiers abroad.
- Electronics recycling: Reduce the amount of difficult-to-recycle items, such as old televisions and household electronics, which end up in installation dumpsters and unauthorized dumps. Installations can choose their preferred recycling provider or work with UNICOR, a government corporation, to recycle these chunky household, non-government electronics. UNICOR is a government corporation that uses the recycling program to provide job training skills.

The two-story building has walls of sandstone blocks between 18 and 32 inches thick, quarried in Utica, and secured with hydraulic cement of the same kind used in the construction of the I&M Canal. James Clark, the man who commissioned the building, came to Utica in 1833, where he became a land squatter. In 1842 he became a contractor on the I&M Canal and in 1845 he bought the local cement mill. He made it a huge commercial success by selling the cement to the canal contractors and the general public. The cement was used in many parts of the canal.

Gurler House
Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Okay, so about 9pm last night I went to breastfeed my 7 week old daughter and I was pretty much completely dry. I tried to continue to feed her on my breast for about 30 minutes but nothing was coming out. I finally gave in and fed her a bottle of formula. This continued throughout the night until about 11am this morning I felt the "let down," breastfed my daughter and then pumped out 6 1/2 ounces after that. Anyone know what could be going on?
Drying up?
Comments (6)
Your supply will naturally be lower at night than during the day. There is much more hindmilk than foremilk at night, since you've been feeding all day. The best thing you can do is nurse as long as she wants to... which I know can be a pain! My oldest would nurse for about an hour at night before bed...
And remember that pumping is not an indicator of how much supply you have. Your supply will maintain itself as long as you let your baby nurse as much as she wants to. Keep in mind to drink as much water as possible to keep yourself hydrated also.
"OK so where's the studio?" "It got up, and danced away" "What do you mean it got up and danced away?" "See, it even sounds crazy when you say it."
I was just reading about this on kellymom.com since I've been feeling like I've dried up. I wish I hadn't closed that window so i could just paste the link here. Basically, it said that between 6 and 10 weeks mom's supply starts to better match baby's needs and moms don't produce as much extra. We will feel les full than before. The website said it may be a gradual change or fairly sudden. hth

Your baby will cluster-feed every once in a while to up your supply if she's not getting enough at each feeding. Baby can sleep through the night (5-7 hours) at one stretch without milk when they reach 12-15 pounds. LO may be ready to skip a feeding at night and is just using you as a pacifier out of habit. As long as she has 3+ wet diapers/day you/she is fine. Don't heitate to call your hospital's lactation consultant if you are still concerned.
Mommy to three amazing boys!!! (8/05, 11/08, 4/11)
Regarding the kellymom.com post, I was one who experienced a sudden change last week. Leaky one day and dry the next. My supply is fine, I've just stopped "storing" and now produce on demand. It can be a couple of rough days to work through this. Stay hydrated and consider taking herbs to boost your supply and then wean off the herbs - baby is dealing with the change too and isn't thrilled.
believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it... unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
What makes you think you are losing your supply? Is your dd showing signs of dehydration? Not feeling a let-down, not leaking, and not being engorged all the time are not signs of losing your supply, even though it can be scary if that has been your experience until now and it suddenly changed. I agree with pps, it is very common and normal to lose your OVER-supply around this age.
I want to caution you against using formula unless you have consulted with a lactation consultant and there is some real problem (unusual and can usually be remedied without formula). Using formula is an almost sure way of decreasing your supply since the less you nurse, the less milk your body will produce and it becomes a vicious cycle that can be hard to break.
I also experienced a change in how my breasts felt and how full they were starting around 6 weeks. LO was able to nurse more efficiently, so it seemed like he was getting less, while in fact he was just getting MORE in a shorter amount of time. Your breasts are probably just learning how to produce on demand instead of over-producing.
I agree with other posters that using formula is the one thing that WILL reduce your supply.

I owe a ton in student loans, but I'm not for legislation wiping out my student loand debt or anybody else's. We borrowed it, we should pay it.
In ten years, most people have paid so much in interest that they have actually paid back more than what they originally borrowed. (I know I have)
Yeah, interest tends to cause people to pay back more than they borrowed. Interest is part of the game. It's not like anybody here signed up for a loan without having access to information about the interest rate. A lot of people have made very poor choices about borrowing money to finance educations that did not support salaries that would allow for repayment of thier loans. Would I rather see Washington bail out individuals struggling with student loan debt than banks? Yes. But, I'm not clamoring for a bailout of student loan borrowers because the government frankly can't afford it and it's more of a burden for everybody else that either didn't borrow or did, but paid back their loans as they agreed to.
This does't cost the government money. One can easily make the argument that it helps the government - inasmuch as a better economy helps the government.
Many, if not most, people feel they have no choice but to take out student loans. Our society has made an undergraduate degree imperative in most areas for even an entry-level position. Undergraduate degrees, even from state schools, are unaffordable without incurring debt for most people. In most places, to get "good" jobs without spending years and years and years working one's way up the ladder (if that's even a possibility... it's not always), one now needs a post-grad degree. What does that mean? More debt.
The government, private sector companies, and universities have created this predicament, but it's the individual that is bearing the cost. That doesn't sound quite right to me.

|Check-in before
Place is quiet and nice. It is superior place to spend some days with dog since there is an open space in front of cottage.
There are two super markets down the hill(mountain?) which is just enough to
have everything you need.
One thing you need to be careful is that this entitiy does not have WIFI connection. If you really want to connect to internet, you need to prepare by yourself.
Apartment was lovely - clean and well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and main bedroom was roomy. Restaurants and hiking trails close by.
Great place to stay during Alp days in Swiss. Charming apartment in a wonderful village with all comfort and home tools. Besides, Patricia the owner is really helpful and make you feel like home. I would recommend this apartment to any traveller.
This apartment is very well designed and the owner was very friendly. We spend a very good time in Brugge. I will recommend this apartment. But we had a problem with Wimdu because they gave us a wrong telephone and address and we couldn´t contact with the owner and Windu. Finally we could contact with Interhom and they gave me the right telephone and address. It was a very stressful situation.
We stayed in the appartment during Christmas.The appartment itself is fabulous and located in a wonderful, but quite village. All rooms, big kitchen, furniture and facilities were well taken care of. A practical space for a family, like ours with two young children. Forests for walking is near. Shops and cities are further away. A good option is to drive to the closest train station to catch one of the trains that take you through the whole country, with its nice towns and to Luxemburg city for just 4euro a day, children under 12 yrs travel free. Food and wine in Luxemburg are nice, so we enjoyed Christmas very much.
The place was very clean and big. It had a nice garden that we could use whenever we wanted, which is great if you go with kids. The only problem was that it said the beach was 400m away, which is true but it was 400m of steps, which is a problem when you are coming back and have to go up (with kids, baby and a lot of stuff).
Apart from that, everything was great.
Nice apartment as advertised
Very nice accommodation
Fantastic views - just like in the pictures.
Would go back anytime!
Located in central Supetar with walking distance to beaches and the ferry, this accommodation is a perfect hub for a Brac vacation.
The view from the terrace is scenic with a clear view of Split from the other side of the strait. The beds are comfortable and not as hard as a lot of beds are in these kind of accomodations. The kitchen, though small, works well to cook in. We cooked one meal a day here for almost two weeks without getting swamped. The host is nice and very helpful and sometimes unexpectedly gave us treats such as fresh lemonade or home baked cookies. We traveled with a 1 1\2 year old, which worked really well here, she had a crib of her own and loved both the host and the house cat!

Gabbeh (Persian: گبه) carpets are a traditional variety of Persian carpet. Gabbeh is known as Gava in Kurdish and Luri and is also called Khersak (خرسک) in Bakhtiari. A Gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug of coarse quality and medium size (90 x 150 cm or larger) characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of color and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai people.[1] The Gabbeh is usually crafted by women.[1]
Gabbeh carpets are much thicker and coarser than other Persian carpets; sometimes it is as much as one inch in depth. In fact, it is more of a variety of kilim than carpet. The word "Gabbeh" comes from the Persian meaning raw, natural, uncut. This is a rough and primitive carpet.
Gabbeh patterns are of a very basic kind with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular objects resembling mainly animals. In Gabbeh usually bright colors, such as yellow and red, are used. Although large fields of solid color are used in Gabbeh designs, the color is variegated (the color varies throughout the rug).
Gabbehs are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created with natural plant dye. Due to its relative ease of production (less precise pattern, small number of knots per square centimeter, etc.) a Gabbe is one of the less expensive varieties of Persian carpet.

Hello everyone
My name is Bill and I am from Northern Illinois. Me and my wife got back into Lego about a year ago. I was an HO train modeler for many years but switched to Lego town and trains after my wife showed an interest in them. So the HO train stuff went to auction and a new layout will replace the planned HO train layout.
Thanks Bill
