Parenting Style: 10 Things Every Mom Should Know
Success Secrets 6 - 10
6. How to Clean Up Throw-Up
The trick to cleaning up vomit -- no matter what the surface -- is to get it up as quickly as you can.
- First, use a paper towel to lift away any solid remains. For hard surfaces, cat litter works to soak up what's left so that it can be scooped up and thrown away. You don't have a kitty? Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the affected area to absorb the throw-up (and the odor).
- For carpeting and rugs, consider investing in dry-cleaning fluid (do a test run to make sure it won't bleach out the color). After cleaning up the vomit, pour the fluid over the stain. Blot with a dry, white cloth. Rewet the stain with a squirt of mild liquid detergent, then blot again with the cloth. Flood the stain with water and blot, repeating until there's no soap residue.
- If your child vomits on a wood floor, use a pH-neutral cleaner or a solution of white vinegar and warm water. If you're cleaning a mattress, car seat, or the living-room couch, sponge the stain with cool water, then cover the spot with baking soda and allow to dry, then vacuum.
7. How to Breastfeed Discreetly in Public
Choose clothing for easy access. If you're wearing a button-down shirt, undo the bottom two buttons (not top two) and tuck your baby inside. For extra privacy, drape your infant with a shawl or baby blanket. Or nurse your infant while holding her in a baby sling. "The fabric will cover you so you'll look as if you're carrying a sleeping baby," says Katy Lebbing, manager of the Center for Breastfeeding Information at La Leche League. To avoid attention, keep an eye out for your baby's cues that she's hungry -- sticking her tongue out, rooting, or rolling her head -- so you can begin to feed her before she cries.
8. How to Change a Diaper Anywhere
Most malls, bus and train terminals, and many family restaurants provide pull-down changing stations in their public restrooms. The backseat of your car can also double as a changing table. If you're stuck outside, find a park bench or put the stroller in the recline position and change your baby there.
9. How to Get Kids to Eat Veggies
You have to be creative if you want to raise a vegetable lover. Sneak the healthy stuff into foods they already like, suggests nutritionist and Parents advisor Connie Diekman, RD.
- Mix shredded carrots and zucchini into meat loaf.
- Chop carrots, tomatoes, and potatoes into small pieces and add to canned or homemade chicken-noodle soup.
- Spike spaghetti sauce with finely chopped peppers and celery.
- Layer spinach leaves or romaine lettuce with turkey and mozzarella cheese on a flour tortilla. Roll tightly and chill, then cut into 1-inch slices and serve with salsa.
10. How to Tell a Great Bedtime Story
- Start with "Once upon a time there was a problem in the land." Then introduce your hero or heroine. The character, whether animal or human, should be instantly recognizable as a stand-in for your child. Does she love to paint? Is he obsessed with dinosaurs? A joke teller? Animal lover? Throw in a giveaway physical attribute -- missing tooth, long curly red hair, freckles.
- Use the day's events for the plot. "Transform mundane activities by making them bigger, sillier, or scarier," says Judith Black, an award-winning storyteller. That miserable traffic jam you were stuck in on the way to a playgroup can become magical with a few small changes. Let your imagination go wild. Does a good witch wave her wand to create more space on the highway? Are the cars equipped with wings? Is the tunnel a portal into the future? Ask your child to join in on the fun by helping you weave the story.

UPDATE: 11 p.m. Thursday
Eighty-five percent of Indiana Michigan Power customers are now back on the grid. They have about 12,000 outages left to fix.
NIPSCO is down to less than 5,000.
Berrien County still accounts for the majority of the outages -- close to 7,000. We're told power should be fully restored across all of Michiana by Saturday.
I&M says the restoration will slow down a bit now because they started by fixing poles that would affect thousands of people at a time.
Now, they're moving on to poles that affect fewer customers. They've replaced hundreds of poles, which has many people wondering if we would be better off putting our power lines underground.
But I&M says that is not necessarily the right solution.
"The fact is you still have outages underground," explained Brian Bergsma with I&M. "When you have outages underground, something that could be fixed very quickly above ground could take you days underground."
I&M says if you have downed power lines or trees leaning on poles, give them a call right away.
They'll come out and make sure there aren't any live wires, so you don't get hurt.

The following is a live Twitter feed for the companies listed above:

UPDATE: 11:45 a.m. Thursday
Midwest Energy Cooperative crews, with continued help from contract and mutual aid crews from across Michigan, remain focused on the task of restoring service to southwest Michigan members. Currently just over 100 members are without power. The outage map can be viewed at ebill.teammidwest.com/oms/outageMap.
UPDATE: 4:15 p.m. Wednesday
From Midwest Energy Cooperative:
At 4:15 p.m. Wednesday about 800 Midwest Energy Cooperative members remain without power in the aftermath of the series of damaging storms that crossed southwest Michigan overnight Monday. All crews will continue working into the evening, and two crews will work through the night. Rested crews will resume work first thing Thursday morning.
The storms caused extensive damage across southwest Michigan, including many downed trees and power lines. Nearly 8000 were out Tuesday morning, but Midwest crews, with help from ten contract and mutual aid crews from across Michigan, have made great progress with restoration. Co-op officials are confident that all service will be restored by Friday.
UPDATE: 4:15 p.m. Wednesday
From I&M:
Crews have made great strides today as nearly 7,000 customers have been restored since 9:00 a.m. this morning, bringing the total outage count down under 40,000 – a 47% decrease from the peak.
In addition to the 900 personnel currently working, 157 line and forestry employees will be heading to the Michiana area this evening to assist with restoration efforts.
As residents continue to clean-up tree debris, we ask that customers be alert and on the lookout for downed wires hidden underneath tree branches. Members of the public should never touch any downed line, even if it does not appear to be energized, and report it to Indiana Michigan Power right away.
Customers should report their outage every 24 hours and can do so on their mobile device by visiting www.IndianaMichiganPower.com or by calling us at 1-800-311-4634 (IN) or 1-800-311-6424 (MI).
When using generators, customers are advised to thoroughly read instructions provided by the manufacturer and seek assistance from licensed electricians where appropriate. In addition to electrical safety, generators can produce carbon monoxide.
UPDATE: 1:00 p.m. Wednesday
From NIPSCO: 95% percent of customers still without power should have service by the end of today. Power should be completely restored by the end of Thursday.
To see when individual cities should have power restored, visit www.nipsco.com/stay-safe/outage-center

While we're talking about Pepo, a very fine cartoonist in his own right, we might as well link to his gallery of Gil Kane's iconic "Coming at ya!" punch drawings!
While we're talking about Pepo, a very fine cartoonist in his own right, we might as well link to his gallery of Gil Kane's iconic "Coming at ya!" punch drawings!
Kane really knew human anatomy, but did tend to use a lot of similar poses.
My least favourite was his ubiquitous "looking up someone's nose" low angle. A head as drawn from below, fully detailing the inside of the nostrils. There was the straight-on low version and the three quarter angle variations.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
[…] Why So Low On the List? The relatively low Marvel production values and highly inconsistent inking – SweartoGod, issue # 17 is credited to "EVERYBODY!!!" – stop this from ranking up there with Blackmark or the Atom as the best of Kane's work. And while the writing is BETTER than the DCCP run listed above it's still a far cry from Shakespearean. […]

Are you looking for a great art, science, or social studies project? Encourage your students to create an entry for the PATCHENIK CHILDREN'S WORLD MAP COMPETITION 2015, for a chance to represent the USA in an international map illustration contest, to be held at the International Cartographic Conference in Rio de Janeiro in August 2015.
This is the 21st annual Petchenik Map Competition, which celebrates the creativity, imagination, artistry, and wisdom of child mapmakers. Students from your school can win prizes from Lonely Planet, National Geographic, and other partners, and represent the United States in a map exhibit featuring student entries from six continents. The winning illustrations will be considered for greeting card, calendar, and poster designs for international organizations such as UNICEF.
Here are the rules:
1. Children 16 years old or younger are to produce a map illustration on the theme "My Place in Today's World." The maximum size is 17 x 11 inches (smaller entries are fine, too), and can be made using any unbreakable material. Mixed media entries are welcome, but the height of
pasted-on components must be no greater than 0.2 inches.
2. The theme "My Place in Today's World" may be illustrated in any way, using pictures, drawings, words, objects, or other graphical elements, but the illustration must include (somewhere) a map of all or a large portion of the world, with recognizable continents drawn as correctly as can be expected for the child's age.
3. An entry can be drawn by a maximum of three authors, all of whom should be in the same age group (see #4); the age of the oldest artist will be used to place the entry in the correct group.
Multiple entries from a single school are welcome.
4. Participants are entered into the international competition by the child's age on December 31, 2014: under 6 years, ages 6-8 years, ages 9-12, and ages 12-16.
5. Each map must have the following information on a label attached to the back side of the
illustration: the name, age, school (or personal) address, and country of its author, and the title of the illustration in either French or English.
6. All maps from a single school should be sent in one package, and postmarked by February 7, 2015, to the following address:
Dr. Robert Edsall
National Coordinator, BBPCMC
Department of History, Idaho State University
921 S. 8th Ave., Stop 8079
Pocatello, ID 83209-8079
7. Submitted illustrations must be original and hard-copy; no digital files (images, .pdfs, etc.) will be accepted. Participants are encouraged to scan or photograph the finished work for their records. Entries can be returned only if you include a self-addressed stamped envelope (ensure sufficient size and proper postage) with your entries. Entries selected as national winners cannot be returned, and become the property of the International Cartographic Association and are stored in the library of Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
8. All past international competition entries can be viewed at http://children.library.carleton.ca.
The national and international judging of the illustrations will focus on three areas:
1. a recognizable message. a recognizable connection between the form, shape, and use of
cartographic elements that creatively address the Competition's theme of "My Place in Today's World,"
2. cartographic content: appropriate cartographic elements such as symbols, colors, names and labels, etc., which help address the Competition's theme.
Note: cartographic accuracy (e.g. of coastlines of continents) is not a primary concern, though the illustration should be recognizable as a map and any abstractions of the map should be artistically presented.
3. overall quality of the execution: aesthetic quality in such matters as balance and harmony among the image elements
This is a great opportunity for your students to creatively express their worldview, enhance their awareness of maps, and make them more conscious of their environment and connections to it. They may even get the chance to represent their nation in an international exhibit next summer. We hope you encourage your students and your school to take part in this effort.
For more information, contact Rob Edsall, email@example.com

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office is advising residents of two telephone call scams happening in the area.
One involves a fake caller from Publishers Clearing House; the other a con-artist claiming to be from Microsoft. Luckily, Sheriff Bill Cameron was able to stop the lady who was about to be scammed out of $450 in a Publishers Clearing House scam. Unfortunately, the Microsoft caller did get a woman's credit card information.
The Publishers Clearing House caller notified a Punta Gorda resident that she won a sweepstake prize. He asked her to go to a Punta Gorda CVS store to buy a paper Green Dot pre-paid debit card for $450, and then she would get her prize money. A Green Dot card can be obtained at CVS or may other stores in the country as well.
The pre-paid card is made out to the scammer and the money transferred electronically to a store where the caller is located. The victim is then told to immediately contact the caller when this was done and give him the card number. The scammer then goes to a store where the money was sent, gives the clerk the card access number, and gets the cash. Once cashed, it's gone, and the sender is out the money.
Luckily, the woman was about to go to a CVS to follow through with instructions from the caller but was stopped by Sheriff Cameron. The Sheriff was home for lunch and a neighborhood resident contacted him about the woman who told her she needed a ride to CVS, and why. Sheriff Cameron talked to the woman and when she told him what she was about to do, he told her it was definitely a scam.
Sheriff Cameron then advised her to call Punta Gorda Police to report the scam incident as it was in their jurisdiction. The CCSO warns; never pay anyone for something you are told you have won. It is not legal to require a winner to pay anything in order to received winnings.
Concerning the Microsoft scam, a man called a woman on Jones Loop Road Tuesday claiming he was with Microsoft and wanted to help her with any computer problems she might have. The woman actually was having some computer issues and followed the caller's instruction by typing in information he told her that gave him complete control of her computer.
The caller then requested her bank routing number to pay for the technical support he supposedly provided; she refused. The caller then requested her credit card number which the woman gave him. Afterwards, the woman called CCSO to advise what had happened.
The woman was advised by the deputy to contact her bank and immediately cancel the credit card. The deputy then noticed the caller still had control of her computer while he was at her house. The deputy then disconnected the modem and advised her to take her computer to a shop and have it scanned for Malware. Luckily, the woman had not installed her banks website information on her computer.

50 rupee vomit charge at bars in Diu! http://www.timescrest.com/life/throw-up-pay-up-7230
This post wasn't a dud, it made interesting reading and even though I have friends from all these states I didn't know about most( except Gujarat and Lakshadweep )
I find this rules about dry days utterly hypocritical. I mean its said we observe dry day to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. That I find a a tad over-bearing, if not over-rated and enforced law infringing our rights.That not the only loophole here. And its certainly doesnt do a lot to stop people from drinking. We have to pay extra bucks (Sometimes almost double the normal rate) to the blackers. If the police can't stop illegal alcohol trafficking and selling on Dry days , then whats the point of imposing a ban and depriving people like me, who loves their beer. And also whats the point of stopping the sale where the tax will result in increase of Govt. revenue. Lets face it, banning alcohol sale and dry days gives the goons to sale hoarded beverages at insane rates and none of that transaction is taxed.
Atleast lift the ban for economic growth guys!
Gujarat is most prohibited state in india. I belong from gujarat. I think prohibited in gujarat is very bad. If you have contact than you can find very easyly. But that alcohol is very bad for health and to much costly. So I request to modi ji…you have think about gujarat again.

Lollipop: a sweet, nearly magical candy on a stick. It used to be you could get at the bank just for using their services, or for being good at the doctor or dentists office (though this was probably a sly plan to encourage repeat business).
But now that you're a full-grown geek it's time to learn how to make your own lollies, and more important still, how to flavor them to match your favorite fandoms.

YA readers put the passion back into books. From Twihards to Potterheads, these teens create mega best sellers, know every detail of their favorite novels, can pick each discrepancy in their long-awaited book-to-film adaptations, and can bust box office records. They write fan fiction, go to fan conventions, and steal movie props that their favorite characters sat on.
But my favorite trend with the YA set has to be fan art—teens who are so inspired by the words that they read, that they redesign book covers, create faux movie posters, or sketch how they imagine a book's most memorable scene. One YA novel, soon-to-be-film that has inspired such creative adaptations is Gayle Forman's If I Stay, which is slated to hit theaters August 22nd.
It's the story of seventeen-year-old Mia who survives a family car wreck only to land in a coma and face an impossible choice—does she want to continue in this world given everything she's lost, or would rather let go? It's a powerful, layered novel that makes you think, and it's inspired some beautiful fan art. Below is a collection of some of our favorites—many from the If I Stay movie Tumblr.

Among individual investors, David Swensen isn't a household name. But he is an icon in the world of big institutional money managers such as endowments and pension funds.
Mr. Swensen's fame comes from his oversight of Yale University's $15 billion endowment fund, which, since he was hired 20 years ago, has returned an average of 16% a year, far outpacing the market and other funds run for universities. Before arriving, Mr. Swensen had never overseen an institutional portfolio, and he brought to the job an unconventional approach for dividing up the portfolio among different asset classes. He is now Yale's chief investment officer.
Five years ago, Mr. Swensen set out to write a book that would bring the lessons he learned to individual investors. Instead, he says he found that the option most accessible to individuals — mutual funds — often makes it impossible to beat the market. And even when they do find good managers, individuals end up shooting themselves in the foot, he says.
So while Yale relies on actively managed portfolios, Mr. Swensen says individuals should just stick to index funds, especially those run by not-for-profit companies. He also likes exchange-traded funds, which trade on exchanges like stocks, but says "buyer beware."
Excerpts from an interview with Mr. Swensen follow:
WSJ: You had hoped to give small investors a road map for beating the market based on Yale's approach to investing. What happened?
Mr. Swensen: I found when I started down that path that individuals just don't have the same set of investment opportunities available to them that we do here at Yale. In fact, the evidence showed me that the mutual-fund industry has completely failed to provide reasonable active-management returns to individuals.
WSJ: To say that it completely failed — that's a pretty harsh statement to make.
Mr. Swensen: I think the evidence is there. The crux of the failure is with the for-profit management of funds for individuals. Mutual-fund managers have a fiduciary responsibility to investors. Obviously, if they are operating in a for-profit mode, they have a profit motive. When you put the profit motive up against fiduciary responsibility, that fiduciary responsibility loses and profits win.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
has very good behavior and very good teachers. All the parents are also very involved with all things that happen.
This is a great school! The teachers are very good and help a lot. They have sports and after school clubs. But there is no art room or music room.
I am a student at Mayfair.I think that Mayfair is an average school. This year since we have a new principle, my parents tend to be more relieved and happy about the safety changes. I love how Mr. Lowery has made it a much safer school. But there are some negatives, too. What is am very not happy about were some of the changes. During the Mustang trip, there was no sudden announcement that we were supposed to line outside instead of the auditorium. We have to stay informed. Also, I personally think it was better when we we had announcements at the end of the day instead of in the morning. For example, since I was in one of the clubs afterschool, how was I supposed to tell her that it was cancelled? Also the bad thing about this school, is that there are a lot of fights and cursing around at lunch time and recess, but the lunch teachers dont tend to care. There a lot of students who say inappropriate things and they are disturbing!!!! BUT, Mayfair does have hardworking teachers who want to teach the students the best!!!
I have 2 daughters in 5th & 6th grade, and both attended Mayfair since kindergarten. I think that with the recent staff changes, Mayfair has the potential to become an excellent school. The former principal, Ms. Besden, was HORRIFIC! I ve had numerous problems during her service, some of which were of a very serious nature. Of the times that I was actually informed of an issue as it developed, she always seemed to make light of the situation & attempt to sweep it under the rug , instead of taking a professional approach & provide us with a solution. I am, however, still satisfied with the quality education that my children have received, considering they consistently receive honors, with very little effort on my part. (I have a full time job, working long hours & am not always available to help with homework/projects.) The teachers that I ve met are great! The teachers are what make Mayfair a great school for my children. The new principal, Guy Lowery, has this school heading in the right direction. He already made several positive changes that affect the students, teachers, parents & community. I am now proud to say my children are students at Mayfair School!
I'm a student at Mayfair. I am mentally gifted, so I'm in the MG program. The teachers are patient if you don't understand something. There aren't any real behavior problems because the teachers do there job, making sure everyone's safe and everyone's on the same track. No child is rushed everyone goes at there own speed. There are A LOT of kids in MG. Which is great! Every year they do a talent show. But, the thing that bothers me about the talent show is that it is only for kids in 5th grade and up. That's annoying to me because I love to sing and 3rd and 4th grade I was so excited about the talent show and I couldn't wait! I love Mayfair Elementary School! I would suggest that you send you're kid there!
I have two children in Mayfair. Both students are advanced and receive honors. I am extremely pleased with the quality education that my children receive at Mayfair. The administration and staff of Mayfair provide enriched curriculum coupled with fundamentals and goals, preparing students for high school and beyond. Mayfair is an excellent school. Education is dependent on a strong parent / school relationship. As the parent I am ultimately responsible for insuring that my children are receiving a quality education and that the school is meeting the needs of the students.I do not assume that my school is meeting local and national educational standards, I have researched it and I can confirm that Mayfair is meeting above any other local schools public, private and parochial. I encourage all parents research their schools information. And I recommend that all parents take part in school activities and volunteer. I have found that doing so has provided me with first hand experience to gauge my overall satisfaction with both the school and my childrens progress.
this school is the best school in the 19149 area I wish i was at that school
i have 3 kids that means i tried a lot of schools including the private ones. but mayfair school is the best one i tried so far. i love it and my kids do too . i don't think i'm switching them again not even for a charter school.
My son recently went to mayfair for one month from a Catholic school. The first week he thought was great. no dicipline and plenty of bad examples from other kids that he nicely picked up. let's just say he is back in a Catholic school. My son actually wanted to be diciplined again he said the teachers are night and day from Catholic school teachers from their attitudes down to their dress codes, this is comming from my sons mouth, not mine. And i definitly agree with the parent that said the principle and teachers have no control over those students . It's like a zoo. I as a parent never experienced anything like it.
This school is so great! My daughter transferred here in September and every one welcomed her with open arms. Her reading and math skills improved immediately. Way to go Mayfair School!!!!!
Mayfair is wonderful! My stepson has ADHD and has been attending Mayfair elementary for the past 2 years and has thrived. The teachers are great and work with the kids.
My daughter just started third grade here because we just moved. Only to find out Phila grants teachers based on sets of grades total students not per grade. Example if there are 130 3rd graders, school will give one teacher to every 30, so that would give one extra teacher for the 10 over 120 therefore allowing smaller classes. Philadelphia groups for example, 3rd and 4th numbers together to provide teachers. This leaves one grade short somewhere and allows split classes as my daughter has. She is being taught her work them givin an assignment so the teacher can slide to the 4th grade and teach them. Bad system
The school is great. My son is in kindergarden and is reading on a 1st grade level already. The teachers try to involve you in everything going on.
Teachers are very caring. Students are well behaved. Test scores are highest in the area.
This school is great my 7th grader is reading above her reading level and my kindergarten child is reading at a mid 1st grade level. Another thing that is really good is there is a lot of parent involvment and they also encourage it. Another plus is that they let parents of students work in the building so you can see how your children are doing and how well the school deals with the few problems they have if thay have any.
Mayfair is an excellent elementary school. My child is in kindergarten and is already reading at a mid-1st grade level. Their reading and writing programs are great, and the teachers are really dedicated to making sure all of the children do well. I've compared this school's test scores with others in the district and Mayfair is one of the top schools. I'd recommend this school to everyone!
The leadership at this school is very poor. The present administration is poor in discipline, poor in principal/teacher relations and is more concerned about teacher absences than quality education. Teacher morale is very low.The atmoosphere is very negative as opposed to the atmosphere ten years ago.
Mayfair is a great school and they care about their children.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Paul Goldschmidt's pre-All-Star numbers comparable to D-backs greats
The Arizona Diamondbacks would not be in first place at the All-Star break without the emergence of first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
The first-time All-Star entered the break hitting .313 with a career-high 21 home runs and an NL-best 77 RBI.
The D-backs' slugger may lead the National League in RBI at the midway point of the season, but where does he rank among franchise greats?
The 25-year-old's pre-All-Star season certainly stacks up to many comparable years of D-backs' legends.
The only players to have more RBI at the break than Goldschmidt are Luis Gonzalez and Matt Williams.
Gonzalez had 86 in 2001 while Williams had 82 RBI at the midway point of the 1999 season.
Goldschmidt's 21 home runs rank fifth among past D-backs players. Gonzalez's total of 35 home runs in 2001 is the most in D-backs history at the halfway mark.
Steve Finley's 25 home runs in 2000 rank second, followed by Jay Bell's 24 and Williams' 23 in 1999.
No D-back comes near Gonzalez's .360 batting average in 1999 or his .355 batting average in 2001, but Goldschmidt is one of 19 D-backs with over 250 at-bats to be hitting over .300 at the break.

Has anyone seen this show? I found it on Hulu, it's a lifetime reality series set in the labor and delivery ward of a hospital. I used to love show's like this, so I don't know if I've changed or what, but this show really bothers me. I've had such good hospital experiences, I thought all the stuff you read about hospitals not supporting natural births and pushing women towards c-sections was exaggeration, but this hospital reallys seems to fit all those sterotypes. Out of 12 births I watched there was 1 natural birth. The nurse assisting the woman having the natural birth was super rude to her the whole time, after saying she was supportive of natural birth. She was constantly having run-in's with the doula. She kept implying that if the mother didn't stay in bed with the monitors on all the time, something terrible was going to happen to the baby. She also suggested an internal monitor, even though there was nothing wrong, I didn't really believe those were used except in emergencies. They kepts showing the nurses rolling their eyes and looking annoyed at her vocalizing during contractions. Each episode had a c-section, and to be honest I didn't really think any of them seemed particularly medically neccessary. So out of 12 births there were 4 c-sections, 1 vaccuum delivery and 1 natural birth, and even that birth was an induction. I know these numbers probably follow the national averages, but that seems really depressing to me somehow. Also, all the c-sections were on African American women, I'm really not sure what that's about.
Anyway, I guess I'm not really sure what my point is. I'm very supportive of women having whatever birth experience they want, but I guess I just really didn't like the way this show portrayed birth, and everyone seemed so uneducated, and honestly watching all these women coming in in no pain at all, and getting all hooked up to their epidurals and then sitting their chatting for their whole labor seemed so strange. They made also made all the births so dramatic, and medical, you got the impression if the dr.'s and nurses, and interventions weren't there, all the mothers and babies would have died.
|Fri, 02-25-2011 - 2:38pm
I hadn't thought of the show in that way. I see it as entertainment, rather than as educational. They probably chose the women/families they chose because they were interesting for entertainment value. I do think the numbers you quoted are pretty close to national average. I know in the DC area, the rate of c-sections is terribly high, maybe even up to 1 in 3. I also know very few women who didn't have an epidural during a vaginal birth, so I imagine those numbers are pretty high too. As for the drama, you have to remember it's a tv show and even if there isn't real drama, they're going to make some drama out of it to make it interesting to viewers.
As far as my birth experience, I had to have a c-section with the twins cause one of them was breech. That one c-section where the doctor was on top of the table pushing the baby out of the incision is NOT typical. My c-section surgery itself was no where near that dramatic, although Liam wasn't breathing when he came out so there was about 30 seconds of panic until he cried for the first time. I was actually jealous of the last c-section mom who got to hold her baby on the way out of the operating room to go to recovery. I wasn't able to hold my twins until 14 hours (yup, 14 hours!) after they were born cause they had to go to special care right away.
I would be interested in seeing some VBAC births on the show. I know the NIH statement didn't come out until just last year, so maybe these were taped before this hospital was VBAC friendly (or maybe they still aren't). I really have hardly any BTDT moms around me who have had VBAC, except for my MIL and hers were all over 25 years ago.
|Fri, 02-25-2011 - 4:05pm
In regards to what they show though: they film in just one hospital, and though they do edit to make it more dramatic, it portrays things pretty much the way they are. So over here that means you see mainly midwives as Drs are only called in emergencies; the midwives encourage women to try an active labour and better positions ( though lots of them still just lie on their backs like pancakes) and try to avoid epidurals.
The women/ couples shown are mostly chavs though, I guess this is because they get paid to get filmed giving birth ( because quite frankly, who in their right mind would want a camera team in the delivery suite??). So that would distort the statistics slightly. A lot of them are very uneducated when it comes to giving birth and basically just jump straight onto the bed and expect baby to just pop out. So the midwives are the actual stars of the show IMHO as it can be observed how hard they work and how important their influence is.
I'd be very curious to watch the US version - do you think it does not reflect reality at all?

I know the show isn't necessarily meant to be educational, but still people are hugely effected by the media and what they see on TV, so I feel like portraying birth in such a dramatic scary way could be very detrimental to women's views of the process. I know TV likes to dramatize things, but I feel like birth stories are interesting enough on their own, you don't have exaggerate things and try to make it seem life threatening. I've watched other birth shows like a baby story etc, and I didn't get as negative a feeling from them, but maybe that's just because I hadn't had any kids yet, and so I didn't really know what to expect, IDK...

I'm glad that you can confirm that not all women deliver in hospitals like this Grace as I would find that so sad and depressing. I'm glad your experience was so different !!

I haven't seen the show, but unfortunately, the stereotypes do have their moments of truth. My first birth experience was a lot like the one you described from the show. Rude nurse, lots of threats about potentially "harming the baby," a seemingly pro-natural birth hospital and OB turned completely on
|Sun, 02-27-2011 - 11:11pm
I'm not sure how many episodes have aired in the US so far but I watched what I believe were the first two. I found it even more irritating than watching 'A Baby Story' on TLC. That nurse in the natural birth episode was so rude to that couple and their doula! And I agree that just like any other "reality" show, it's edited for entertainment factor.
As some of you may remember, I was planning for a waterbirth at home with Selin and ended up switching to a hospital MW at 31 weeks. Everyone in our family was against a homebirth,
|Thu, 03-03-2011 - 3:30pm
I've never seen the show, and I haven't wanted to because friends have described to me how anti-natural labor it is, and since I'm planning a natural labor, I don't need that kind of negativity in my head at 29 weeks pregnant. What you described does mirror my hospital experience somewhat.
I had a scheduled "post-term" induction and they assured me they would keep my Pit as low as possible to let my body do most of the work, but the nurse came in to up it every hour without even checking how dilated I was first. They were all very kind and gentle and definitely not rude like the nurse you described, but I did feel pain meds being pushed upon me. I asked the OB not to perform an episiotomy unless it was absolutely necessary and to tell me first, and she didn't tell me when she did perform one and didn't try any measures to avoid one.
It really wasn't a horrific experience, other than Ry's NICU stay, but I don't think I realized how much power had been taken away from DH and me until much, much later.

Climate Science Research Review Answers Climate Change Questionsby -
Update [10/17/2011]: WRI has released the latest edition of Climate Science.
Update [10/17/2011]: WRI has released the latest edition of Climate Science.
Last year, in an effort to make our climate data more accessible, WRI launched a pilot that paired estimates of U.S. state greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT) with the Google Public Data Explorer, a tool that visualizes large data sets with interactive charts and maps.
More progress on substantive issues is needed to keep the climate talks headed in the right direction.
As the reporting deadline for 2010 looms, developed countries will need to prove that they are honestly meeting their modest $30 billion commitment.
On 2-3 February 2011, the World Resources Institute and Climate Analytics hosted an informal meeting of climate finance negotiators in New York City.
Developed countries have collectively pledged USD 30 billion from 2010-2012 to support developing countries' climate efforts. This pledge, known as "fast-start finance," was initially made in Copenhagen in 2009, and reiterated in the 2010 Cancun Agreements.
Visit openclimatenetwork.org for the latest analysis, project info, expert perspectives, and more.
The UNFCCC Cancun Agreements of December 2010 marked an important step forward for transparency of country actions to respond to climate change. In addition to creating a new standard for the way countries report on their national climate commitments and actions, the agreements mandated advances in the reporting and review of countries' climate finance contributions.
Negotiators are now figuring out the details that will turn the Cancun Agreements into something that makes a difference on the ground.

The Forest Investment Program (FIP) is a targeted program within the framework of the Climate Investment Funds that supports developing countries' efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). The FIP Results Framework is a tool to monitor and evaluate the implementation of FIP funds. Following are WRI's comments suggesting ways to improve the FIP Results Framework.

Book Description:
Today radioactivity is widely used to treat cancer, to study fossils, and to power submarines, but until the late 1800s man's understanding of this scientific field was practically non-existent. Indeed, the discovery of spontaneous radioactivity was largely accidental—the by-product of research by the French scientist Henri Becquerel. Atomic Universe traces the path to the discovery of radioactivity and places this major scientific breakthrough in the context of history. This intriguing book profiles the key scientific players and features inspirational accounts of their childhoods and their development as scientists. Young readers learn about the lives and work of groundbreaking scientists such as Marie and Pierre Curie and trace the beginnings of the atomic age. Readers embark on a dramatic quest of discovery and peer ahead to see what the future holds for the science of radioactivity in the nuclear age.National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.Visit www.natgeoed.org/commoncore for more information.

Paratransit Transportation Program for Los Angeles County.
I am planning on going to Disneyland in February. I am able to get the 21 day visitor pass for their access system. (accessla) paratransit transportation program for Los Angeles County. The reason I can get one is that I use this system in my own city.
My question is Would they pick me up at a hotel in Anaheim and drive me to Universal studios. It says all of LA county. Do they drop off at the airport. Not able to find this information on the website. So thought I would ask here. In case anyone knows the answer.
Thanks for your help.
Disney land not in la county their Orange County ad they have their transportation system.
here is orange county transportation authority riding access they are the bus transportation for disney land. May be they have the same aggreement as la. now if your flying into lax then that is in la county. not sure if they will pick you up at the airport and bring you to a hotel.
it looks like the same service in orange county as la county you can put in where you want to be picked up and it show you the stops. but it only list the airport i would call and ask more questions. they my just not list disney land but since they list the staples center i don't see why they wouldn't pick you up at disney and take you to unerversal.
As the PP said, it is two (or three) different bus systems between Disneyland and Universal. Also, even a direct drive in a car with no other stops, it takes close to an hour to get from Disneyland to Universal.
Access in Orange County is actually more difficult to use than other places I have lived - it is more limited and much much more crowded. I am not sure they would approve a trip between tourist attractions.
You are probably going to have to find a commercial bus service or car service to get where you want to go. There is no public transportation between the airport and Disneyland - not directly, and definitely not OCTA.
Sorry I don't have a definite answer for you, but the systems out here are very complicated, and they don't "talk" to each other. Thing are much farther apart than you would originally think.
Thanks for the replies good to know what LA County is. So I need to find Orange County. I wish when I wrote that they told me they do not do the Disneyland area. I do not need it for the parks. But I do want to go and see some other area close to Disneyland. I do know here in Canada they will take you to tourist attraction if it is in the area they service. So anyone from the US or UK that uses accessible transportation can get a short visitor pass. Thanks for your help.
OK i think I get it now. Access LA County can give the information to orange county once they have given me a rifer number. I will just book Disneyland Resort bus to get to the hotel. Much easier :)

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A ruling is due from New Jersey's highest court on a murder case in which the defendant claimed he was too fat to have committed the crime.
That defense didn't work for Edward Ates, and he was convicted in 2009 of killing his son-in-law four years earlier. But he appealed on the grounds that New Jersey's wiretapping law is unconstitutional.
An appeals court disagreed, but New Jersey's Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
Ates challenged the ability of New Jersey authorities to secretly record a conversation between him and his sister in Louisiana. Ates was back in Florida at the time.
New Jersey law allows wiretapping phones in other states if the location where the calls were intercepted was in New Jersey.

Just a few feet away from where Linda Smith's kids play, could be trouble. "If they see one they run so I think that's probably why they haven't got stung yet, they run too fast to get caught", said Smith.
Running may be one way to avoid bee and wasp stings. Here are some others:
If you get stung, it's critical to remove the stinger quickly. Use the edge of a credit card or your thumbnail to pull it out. Be careful not to pinch the stinger. Also, soak a cloth in cold water and press it over the area of the sting to reduce pain and swelling.

A mixed breed.

When my kittens were found everyone assumed they were brother and sister. My Mercy was a Tortoise Shell. The other cat I believe was a Calico. They mated and had a litter. I believe I am a victim of a prank. When my former so called friends and certain relative that married into a family that married relatives. They were trying to make me eat my words. I gave the whole family away. These evil people were looking for any negative thing on me. They believe I favord my tabby mostly white. I knew my Mercy was a beautiful cat that acted lady like. Her manners were beautiful. She got the boot because we all assume she mated with her brother. PLEASE tell me Tortoise SHell cats are a different breed. How do I get my baby back.

I believe a prank was played on me. A man in the park said his big dog would eat these two kittens. People I know believe I need more responsibility. Well two little kitties were rescued by me ready or not. They are three years old. Mercy a beautiful girl that was very girly and a Tortoise Shell. She was born with a cross on her forehead. When she was found everyone believe and I that she got pregnant by her brother. Well I gave the whole family away. I went back for her. I was told she came down with the ringworms. I said get my girl well and spay her. Too many misunderstandings. She was adopted out my heart went too. She is my daughter that was smart and God fearing. She gave birth too young but wanted my assurance. My cats taught me well. I cry some times. I understand she has a good home. I hope she never forgets me. Her broo was six and one died. The shelter gave me the boy back. They said he isn't social like me. Mercy personality showed that she had charisma and class. My gem got away. She shined like diamonds. Life is the best teacher. My baby is gone. She experienced too much to fast. I love you girl. May Jesus richly bless you. I am sorry that I let you get away. Bread of Heaven shine on my Mercy girl. Pray that I will see her again.

I have a Tortie from a rescue shelter, maybe 3 years old. She has taken to me quite well and has no desire to explore the apartment. She has claimed a fake fur blanket as 'her space' at the foot of my bed. She tries to be vocal with me as if we have our own private conversations. She used her food dishes and litter box without incident until we added another rescue cat to our family. She refuses to eat out of the same dishes or use the same litter box anymore, she won't even leave her blanket or her bed, growls, hisses and postures towards the happy go lucky kitty (less than a year old). Anyone know if this is the way it's going to be or if time might smooth things out? My Tortie, black and variegated tan, named Peka, seems rather possessive of me and behaves as a no nonsense, 'I Own the left side of the bed and my person'. I know a lot of this is still primary posturing as Peka has been here a month and the silly kitty has been here only a few days...they are both female, Peka is spayed and comes from a violent history, I'm sure trust will take time. Any advice out there?

We had a tortoiseshell cat Cali, she was 14 years old. We loved her sooo much and miss her a lot. I found her inside the grill of a jeep meowing for help on 6/2000 in a business parking lot where I worked. I rescued her and she was 9 weeks old. Cali had a ripped up chin and a virus in one eye which left her blind. We got her med help and she was good as new. We cherished her and she was grateful for her second chance in life. With time slipping by among the other cats we have ,Cali was 14 years old before we knew it. She'll always be my baby girl...she was feisty and independent but got along with our other cats. We enjoyed our tortoiseshell cat..she was a blessing to our life. till recently she had a tumor that couldn't be cured and within 2 months she had to say good bye. It was the hardest thing to have to go through at the vet that day. We are still sad but hope she had crossed the rainbow bridge...we love her so. Enjoy the moments with your kitties...time passes so fast with our pets. We would treasure our Cali and the memories forever. If only their lives were longer.......

We adopted Mia our tortie when she was 10 weeks old. When we picked her up out of the cage she was clawing wanting to get away acting like she had never been held. She is almost 7 months old now and hates to be picked up. We didnt know anything about the breed before we got her but wished we had done more research. We have to kids 6 and 3, whom the tortie was for but shes not very kid friendly. We love Mia but we wanted a lovable pet and instead got a very distant cat who hides most of the day and plays all night. Our tortie rarely is still long enough to be petted and at times she can be to aggressive when playing. Shes not interested in playing with us but she seems to entertain herself and seems happy. We are thinking about a friend for Mia but do not want another tortie. Dont get me wrong i love her but torties are not exactly Family cats they seem to do best with a single person. Any suggestions on a breed? -Signed Tortiely Disappointed

I also have a wonderful rescue tortie. Her name is Lacey, she is now 3 and so playful. She runs back and forth in the hallways. Plays fetch by herself and will run up the walls in the hallway. I can not imagine my time without her daily 'craziness'. Love this little girl.

I just got a 4 year old tortie and have had no problems. The only thing is that when I give some attention, especially if she is in my lap, is she doesn't stay very still.
Beth - 2011-06-17
I have a tortie named Annie. She's 8 years old and has been a whacko ever since we brought her home. She licks our walls and magazine covers; she brings socks and other small soft items downstairs, growling as she comes down the steps. She will not sit still at all (definitely ADHD); but most of all she "likes" to leave us pools of pee and piles of poo, for no obvious reason. It's extremely annoying but she is so darn cute, that we just clean it up and move on. Any suggestions about the peeing and pooping?

My princess is named Maya but she answers to Mooshoo, Meena, Moomoo and any other M baby name I say. She was a year when we found her, scraggly, skinny stray. As I type she's curled under my arm. She's very protective of me. She's very moody and never talks unless I'm not home and squeaks when you pick her up. Everyone says she's the softest cat they've ever felt, and that's cause she's such a little clean freak. She loves me and I her. Couldn't live a day without my princess and her silly antics!

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Reynolds, John C. 10-Jun-04
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
New England District
June 10, 2004
Mr. John C. Reynolds
54 Woods Hill Road
Swanton, VT 05488
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
A tissue report received by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported the presence of illegal drug residues in a cow that originated from your dairy farm. An inspection of your dairy farm located at 54 Woods Hill Road, Swanton, VT that was conducted by Food and Drug investigators on May 11-13, 2004 as a follow-up to this reported residue confirmed that you offered a dairy cow for sale for slaughter as human food in violation of sections 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) and 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).
You also caused an animal drug to become adulterated because the drug was used in a manner that does not conform to its approved uses or the extralabel use regulations in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, part 530 (21 CFR Part 530). This caused the animal drug to be unsafe under Section 512(a) of the Act and adulterated within the meaning of Section 501(a)(5) of the Act. You can find the Act and associated regulations on the Internet through links on FDA's web page www.fda.gov.
On or about November 11, 2003, you treated a dairy cow on your farm identified with back tag No. 131Z4726 with Sulfadimethoxine. On November 12, 2003, your dairy cow, identified by back tag # 131Z4726, was transported by [redacted], cattle dealer, to [redacted] for slaughter as human food. USDA analysis of tissue samples collected from that animal identified the presence of Sulfadimethoxine in the animal's muscle tissue at a level of 3.40 ppm. The established tolerance for Sulfadimethoxine in cattle is 0.1 ppm (21 CFR 556.640). The presence of Sulfadimethoxine in edible tissue from this animal causes the food to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act.
A food is adulterated under section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the Act, if it contains a new animal drug which is unsafe within the meaning of section 512. Likewise, a food is adulterated under Section 402(a)(4) of the Act "if it has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions...whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health." As it applies in this case, "insanitary conditions" means that you hold animals, which are ultimately offered for sale for slaughter as food, under conditions that may allow medicated animals bearing possibly harmful drug residue to enter the food supply.
For example, our investigators noted the following conditions on your farm:
1. You lack an adequate record keeping system for determining the medication status of animals you offer for slaughter.
2. You lack an adequate record system for assuring that animals to which you administer medication have been withheld from slaughter for appropriate periods of time to deplete potentially hazardous residues of drugs.
3. You lack an adequate inventory system for determining the quantities of drugs used to medicate your cows.
4. You lack an adequate system to assure that expired drugs are discarded and not used.
The investigation also determined that you adulterated the animal drug Sulfadimethoxine which was indicated as the cause of your illegal tissue residue, within the meaning of Section 501(a)(5) when you fail to use the drug in conformance with its approved labeling or the extralabel use regulations at 21 CFR part 530. Your use of the drug contrary to the directions and without following labeled withdrawal periods causes the drug to be unsafe under Section 512(a) of the Act and adulterated with the meaning of Section 501 (a)(5) of the Act.
This letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. As a producer of animals which are offered for human consumption, you are responsible for assuring that your overall operation and the food products you distribute are in compliance with the law.
You should be aware that it is not necessary for you to have personally shipped an adulterated animal in interstate commerce to be responsible for a violation of the Act. The fact that you offered an animal for sale to a slaughterhouse that ships in interstate commerce is sufficient to hold you responsible for violations of the Act. Similarly, it is not necessary for you to personally ship an adulterated drug in interstate commerce. The fact that you caused the adulteration of an animal drug that had been shipped in interstate commerce is sufficient to hold you responsible.
You should take prompt action to correct the above violations and to establish procedures whereby such violations do not occur. Failure to do so may result in regulatory action without further notice, such as seizure and/or injunction.
You should notify this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, including an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of similar violations. If corrections cannot be completed within fifteen (15) working days, state the reason for the delay and the time frame within which the corrections will be completed. Also include copies of any available documentation demonstrating the corrections have been made.
Your reply should be directed to Patricia Murphy, Compliance Officer, Food and Drug Administration, One Montvale Avenue, 4th Floor, Stoneham, MA 02180. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mrs. Murphy at (781) 596-7758.

A reboot? For the likes of Detective Alex Cross? The real mystery here is why anyone would greenlight an origin story for James Patterson's fairly unimpressive flatfoot. To jar the collective memory, Cross was initially introduced to the screen via Morgan Freeman's performances in 2001′s Along Came a Spider and 1997′s Kiss the Girls. Freeman aside, the Cross character isn't fit to shine the gum-shoes of, say, a Sherlock Holmes, a Philip Marlowe or a Hercule Poirot … hell, not even the clown shoes of an Inspector Clouseau. And speaking of clown shoes, given the wooden acting, hackneyed script and embarrassing direction, Alex Cross may provide more unintended laughs than any Pink Panther comedy in recent memory.
According to press releases published in the summer of 2010, British actor Idris Elba (Prometheus, and the television series Luther and The Wire) had signed on to play Cross, with David Twohy (The Fugitive, A Perfect Getaway) set to adapt Patterson's twelfth book of the series, simply entitled "Cross." Given Elba's impressive dramatic talent, the project might have worked. But changing actors is obviously not the same as changing clothes … and while Madea's Tyler Perry can slip into his female character's wigs and plus-size dresses just fine, his attempt to squeeze into the guise of this astute psychologist/detective strains at both the seams as well as the credibility.
Here, a younger Detective Cross is situated in Detroit (with Cleveland standing in for that location), living with his pretty pregnant wife, two kids and outspoken mother. Cross and lifelong buddy turned partner Tommy Kane (Edward Burns) are called to the scene of a multiple homicide in the high-end part of town. Professional body guards have been slain, and a wealthy young woman has been tortured to death, one severed finger at a time. Oh joy. Meanwhile, we've already met the killer, a nasty, skeletal assassin named Picasso (Matthew Fox of Lost fame). When Picasso is foiled during his subsequent hit by the good detective, Cross himself gets crossed up in Picasso's crosshairs.
