'Rise of the Guardians' a lively storybook spree
By Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter November 20, 2012 12:38PM
DIRECTOR: Peter Ramsey
STARS: Voices of Hugh Jackman,
Alec Baldwin and Isla Fisher
GENRE: Animation, Adventure, Family
RATED: PG for thematic elements and some mildly scary action
RUNNING TIME: 1 hour and 37 minutes

A very odd assortment of mythical childhood figures, some afflicted with severe emotional insecurities and inferiority complexes, are thrown together as unlikely action heroes in "Rise of the Guardians."
It's an attractively designed but overly busy and derivative mishmash of child-friendly elements.
The movie is a sort of Justice League or Avengers equivalent made up of the fearsome team of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and Jack Frost.
This final DreamWorks Animation production set to be distributed by Paramount will play in a predictably agreeable and profitable fashion to small fry but will skew young despite the presence of an excellent voice cast.
The world premiere took place Oct. 10 at the Mill Valley Film Festival in advance of the Nov. 21 commercial bow.
Based on the book series "The Guardians of Childhood" by William Joyce, as well as on the author's short film "The Man in the Moon," the script by David Lindsay-Abaire ("Robots," "Rabbit Hole") plays fast and loose with these legendary fixtures of childhood.
They are attached to all sorts of neuroses, feelings of inadequacy and the sense, or threat, of being ignored.
Some might find this tack delightfully mischievous, but it's just as easy to reject as ridiculous the notion that Jack Frost — a free spirit very much like Peter Pan who can fly around anywhere he wants — suffers from an emotional trauma he suffered hundreds of years earlier.
Perhaps the most readily amusing of the gang is Santa, or, as he is more geographically named here, North.
A muscular powerhouse rather than a fatso, North has heavily tatted forearms and, as wonderfully voiced by Alec Baldwin, sports a distinctive Russian accent not inappropriate to the proximity of that country to his palatial mountainside workshop.
Also gathering here are the rangy and rascally E. Aster Bunnymund (an excellent Hugh Jackman), the hummingbird-like Tooth (or Tooth Fairy, delightfully rendered by Isla Fisher), the mute and tubby spinner of gold Sandman and ultimately, Jack (a fine Chris Pine).
The latter has wandered the globe alone for centuries and feels woefully unrecognized compared with the others because he has no special day or occasion to make an imprint on the lives of children.
All the same, Jack is hard-pressed by North to join in the battle against Pitch (as in pitch black), a diabolical figure (plausibly acted by Jude Law) who, after a long absence, has returned to throw Earth into darkness and provide much-needed nightmares to children everywhere.
As with Jack, Pitch's reemergence feels arbitrary and generic, while the tall, sneering and stubby-toothed figure bears far too close a resemblance to Lord Voldemort from "Harry Potter," as do Pitch's minions, black steeds that disintegrate into fragments and flash through the sky almost identically to Death Eaters.
So while Jack tries to sort out his issues of neglect (children in small-town America don't even notice him) and struggles over whether or not to join the others, the battle against the lord of the night commences.
Director Peter Ramsey, a longtime storyboard artist making his feature directorial debut after beginning with the 2009 telefilm "Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space," never misses a chance to throw in one more roller-coaster-like visual ride to pump up the 3-D experience.
But the characters and settings are attractively designed, and the vocal performances have real color and a sense of fun that gently undercuts the treacle sincerity of certain obligatory kid-pandering moments.
Composer Alexandre Desplat really gets a workout here, dexterously blanketing the film with ever-changing tempos and motifs to suit the moment and propel the action.
At least 10 percent of the 97-minute running time is devoted to the end credits.

BANGALORE: With nothing going his way and BJP national president Nitin Gadkari on Friday making it clear there's no compromise, former CM Yeddyurappa and his team decided to take a final call on February 27, when his supporters are planning a birthday bash for him.
Yeddyurappa cosying up to one-time rival Jagadish Shettar has not gone down well with some of his long-standing supporters like Umesh V Katti, Murugesh R Nirani and Basavaraj Bommai. Shettar has good equations with Yeddyurappa's bete noire, MP H N Ananthkumar. Though Ananthkumar has discreetly kept off Karnataka's politics, Shettar's political actions are said to have his nod.
Yeddyurappa took Shettar with him when he went to meet Gadkari on Friday morning. Only Yeddyurappa was allowed to meet Gadkari, and Shettar waited outside.

It's amazing how quickly the Lexus LX570 has aged. When this monster SUV debuted for the 2008 model year, it felt ridiculously fast, very comfortable, and seemed enormous. In 2011, the LX570 feels much older than it should because of the myriad buttons, knobs, and levers to control the various suspension, 4wd, climate control, and audio systems. For the most part the array of controls is explained well with illustrations of each individual switch's function, but the sheer number of things that can be adjusted is a bit intimidating. Land Rover does a much better job of batching the various 4wd settings together with a clear icon to explain the terrain that matches the system's setting. Even Jeep has made this pretty clear with the Grand Cherokee.
The LX570 is based on the Toyota Land Cruiser, which has an incredible off-road legacy and is known around the world for its durability. Unfortunately those roots show in places they shouldn't. The Land Cruiser has signature rear seats that fold outboard, so the LX gets them, too. There are six buttons to control the powered movements of the 50/50 split rear seats! Sadly none of these powered movements provide a flat load floor that spans the entire area behind the second row of seats. Lexus should examine an Infiniti QX56 to see how the third row of seats could fold down and forward to create a nearly flat load floor that is much better for loading with cargo.
Even with the firmest damper setting, the LX570 pitches itself into a turn with more body movement than any vehicle should have in 2011. I completely understand the off-road heritage and capability that Lexus offers buyers, but other manufacturers have better on-road ride quality with just as much off-road capability as Lexus has here.
The 5.7-liter V-8 that powers the LX570 has aged much more gracefully than the rest of the vehicle. Power delivery is very good, especially considering the vehicle's considerable curb weight. I found the six-speed automatic to be very agreeable with smooth upshifts and reasonably quick downshifts when I floored the accelerator. I'd like to see a little better fuel economy since the Infiniti QX56 is rated at 14/20 mpg and the Lexus only returns 12/18 mpg, but big SUVs aren't the poster children for fuel economy anyway.

The 'You're Worth More Dead Than Alive' infographic is an unsettling look at how much one's internal and external organs would sell for on the black market.
The highly illegal underground organ trade is an extremely lucrative business that has grossed over $6 million US in the last 25 years. As the chart from Medical Transcriptions documents, over 113,100 people sit on the excruciatingly long list for organ transplants. Sadly, 18 people per day pass on while they wait.
Due to this, there has become a viable market for the buying and selling of body parts, with a kidney being worth a whopping $262,000 in the US and a liver ringing in at $157,000 US. While some poachers have made back-end deals with funeral parlors to secure their product, others have been noted to take hostages to get what they need to do business.

If you have a way to protect them in case of late freezes or snows, you might be OK. I've seen snow and frost in early June in the Palmer Divide region. Not every year, but some. Today is cold with sleet -- not so good for the warm-weather plants. Some are shocked at below-40 temps even if they don't die, and their recovery and growth might be slow. Some of the seeds you plant now won't be up for a few weeks. Those might be safer. If they are dependent on soil temps, you could check to see if the soil was warm enough. If not, then wait another week or two. |
Thank you! I'll wait a little longer! |

Irish words for Rain
A while back I asked for words we Irish use to describe rain. I wanted to demonstrate to the Austrians, who seem to have only 1 word for rain, that they are failing to convey the subtlety and nuance of the experience you can expect when you go outside and it is precipitating.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have ended up with a list of 30 which you can see at the bottom of the post. I have ranked all of them on a chart. The y-axis describes the average size of the "rain" drop coming from the sky. And the x-axis conveys the quantity of drops falling at any given instant. This is a subjective chart, based on my views of rainfall. Some terms I was a little unsure of, and one "The Lad" (thanks Mick) has me baffled. I am open to feedback on any and all. And if you have more, let me know and I might add them to a future version.
Now the graph:
What isn't conveyed is the time dimension. A phrase like "grand soft day thank god" implies that it will continue to rain like this for the remainder of the day, and possibly the season. My simple hand drawn graph fails there.
Next I need to organise a meeting and do a power point presentation for my Austrian colleagues. I will explain to them how I want the to discuss rain in future.
BTW, the terms I collected were: Mildering, heavens open, torrential, lashing, bucketing, needles, "the lad", mizzle, monsoon, pouring, downpour, dumping, heavy rain, hammering, hooring, spilling, pissing, fat rain, rain, light rain, drop of rain, "grand soft day thank god", skitting, thin rain, shower, drizzle, spitting, fine mist, and misht.

Years ago I read a book with a list of Irish terms for rain (there was more than that in the book). It includes "spucketting" which I can only assume was the (non-Irish) author's mishearing of "it's bucketting" but I like it anyway.

Didn't this ride just open in the late 90s. How much renovating could it need? They just redid Pirates Of The Caribbean, and think how old that is? Please don't tell me that this has to do with the recent incident on the ride. I am, like everyone else, upset saddened at a child died after riding it, but I trust that Disney would not operate a ride that is harmful to passangers who are healthy enough to ride it. (I rode it on my senior trip 7x in a row after being awake for almost 24 hours - LOL!!)
Either way, thank God I am going again early January (4th) and will get to ride at least once or twice no matter what!

The Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate/Wheat Germ Extract Combination System contains both Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate and Wheat Germ Extract for comparing in vitro translation systems. Reticulocyte Lysate is prepared from New Zealand white rabbits. The Wheat Germ Extract is prepared by grinding wheat germ in an extraction buffer followed by centrifugation to remove cellular debris. Both systems contain the cellular components necessary for protein synthesis. The systems have been treated with micrococcal nuclease, which destroys endogenous mRNA and results in minimal background translation.

While looking for a solution to a registry issue last week, I came across this post on the UBCD4Win forums, and a specific quote caught my eye:
Ok… about the registry and some possible solutions. Note that there is no one correct answer for this problem because there can be a number of actual possible causes of a corruption and therefore several possible solutions. Repairing a Windows system is almost an art form so when a tech is working on one.. they will often base what procedure they choose from the way the system acts. This is not something that can be taught.. it just take time for them to learn it.
Truer words have not been said, and I cannot agree more with this statement. While I have worked on computers that are the same make and model with the same issue, the solution is always just a little bit different, owning to how the owner used the computer or the manner in which the issue occurred. Sometimes the standard method for fixing a computer needs to be abandoned due to the way the computer is responding, and this can be caused based on the time it takes a computer to load, a screen to render, or the sound of a fan, hard drive, or CD spinning up when it doesn't need to.
On a some what related note, one of my staff had dropped off a computer for me to work on back in April of last year. I kept it in my overhead cabinet until this afternoon, where he was giving me grief for not working on it (not that he has asked about it much before hand), and I grudgingly told him I would look at it. The issue had been that the computer would not boot up, or when it did, he wouldn't be able to access files. He had tried a number of suggestions with using the UBCD4Windows from me previously, but to no avail. I setup the laptop on my desktop and *BOOM!* it turned on. I ignored this computer for almost a year and it now works. After showing the computer who was boss (sticking it in solitary confinement and letting it bask in my computer-fixing presence) it is now ready to continue doing it's job.
This is not the first time my mere presence has fixed a computer, nor will it be the last; my computer fixing techniques are innate.
I am the Computer Whisperer.

A waterfall of serene colors make up the tiffany style shade of this charming accent lamp.
A beautiful accent for hall tables or night stands, this Tiffany style table lamp is comprised of 252 hand-cut stained glass pieces and cast metal base. Stylish and bright, this lamp is great for reading. Add it to your home for a pop of color.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
There are some discrepancies between the description and the item itself, which I have pointed out to Lamps Plus. As I write, the description says that the shade is made of glass. The agent I just live-chatted with confirms that that is not quite accurate. The pieces feel to me like plastic; the agent says they are a mixture of glass and plastic and the shade will break if the lamp is knocked over. Also, the instructions say that one should use a 60-watt bulb, not the 75 watts originally indicated. I may still purchase a mate for the other side of the bed. I can't really afford the more gorgeous real thing!

I did try to run a search of this forum before posting this question but I didn't find an answer...
**How long does it take to get granite countertops? Our cabinets are in place so my next step is to have them measured for the granite. My contractor said he knows of a granite place that has good prices but he has not given me the contact information yet. I'm nervous because we should be moving into our house (with the reno) next week and we will be without countertops (and sink!) for an indefinate amount of time. Just wondering from the time they come out to measure your cabinets to the day the granite is installed, how long is that process? Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My granite place told me a week to 10 days. |
Ours said 8-10 working days after he measured. They installed it on day 8. |
About 2 weeks for us. Have you already picked out your granite?? |

thanks for your responses....well sounds like it will be shorter than the month time frame I had predicted! :) Chris45NY...no, I havent picked out my granite yet. I am thinking I want a light brown/gold toned granite. I saw some St. Cecilia Gold and Kashmir Golds I've liked (researching online; probably should do that in person once I get this contact info from my GC!) My cabinets are Mable in a light, honey tone. I tried to attach a picture of them but I dont have the pictures on a digital camera so I cant upload it to photobucket. I only had pictures sent from my phone to my email and I cant figure out how to clip them over to this thread right now...i'm technically challenged. |

I think I figured out how to add pics of my kitchen. If you have any granite recommendations, please let me know: floors are covered in dust in this picture...it's Oak Cocoa and is pretty when it's clean (for the 10 seconds it was clean after first being installed.) |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Sun, Feb 21, 10 at 6:51
We've actually been seeing a big increase in countertop jobs, so our lead times from our fabricator are around 4-6 weeks. Giallo Veneziano with a good amount of black in the slab would look good with your spice maple cabinets if you're going for a lighter tone. |
Do you have to use the fabricator your contractor suggests? If not post your location here and people might be able to make suggestions for fabricators. |
I was told 7-10 days and it took 7. However, I looked for awhile before deciding. You might consider starting your search at granite yards. |
We picked ours out on saturday and by thursday they were here installing them.They first told us up to 2 weeks.I can only assume they had a cancelation and put us up first. |

Hey, Karin and AZstone! I'm in New Berlin, WI, too (and a Badger alumni as well - Go Red!) We are using a fabricator in Ixonia called Designs in Marble. We are working with Richard and Barb, who have been extremely helpful (and patient with us as we hem and haw over decisions). Richard told us that installation would be about 3 days from when they measure. We just signed our contract yesterday, and I believe they will be coming to measure in the next week or so. Their prices were extremely competitive. Tell them Matt and Nancy sent you! |

Karin- Your cabinets are beautiful and will go with several kinds/colors of granite. If possible, take one of your cabinet doors with you when choosing the granite. All the pictures that boxerpups posted show gorgeous granite!! She's amazing and always has awesome pictures to help with decisions. The only problem will be to make the decision-I love every one of those pictures. I agree with live wire oak that a granite with a touch of dark (black) may be a nice contrast with the maple-JMO. Kevin knows what he's talking about so check out his recommendations as a big part of this process is in the fabrication/installation of your counters. You're investing a lot of money and want to be happy when it's done. I have the 1/4 eased edge and love the way it looks. There are pros and cons with edges and some cost more than others. Your kitchen is going to look great. Keep us posted on the progress! |

I'm liking that Typhoon Bordeux from Boxerpups' pictures above. By the way, i have to say that getting a response from Boxerpups was so exciting! I felt like a celebrity was writing to me! Maybe because I've seen boxerpup's comments and posts so frequently on the board. :) I love the pictures of the granite above. I think they all could be beautiful. I like the more unique ones and I think that I agree with Chris45ny that something with black in it to show some contrast with the maple would be nice. I'm so excited! cant wait to meet my granite :) |
Karin, You flatter me. Thank you, too sweet. Here are some more since you mentioned that you like This one is Golden valley but I thought you Mascarello Juparana Bordeaux Have fun planning. |
7 days for us. Day 1: Chose the exact slabs we wanted. Marked them with our names, took photo and paid for it (100% of slab cost) |
My fabricator measured on a Monday and installed on Wednesday afternoon. I'd picked out the granite I wanted a month before. |
Thanks for the Wisconsin list, Kevin. We live in the Fox Cities are beginning the search for new countertops. |
I think it depends on your area. Around here, almost all the fabricators seem to have a 3 - 5 day turnaround from templating to install and they don't seem to have a wait- time for templating either. I don't know if that's because business is slower than usual or if that's just standard here. |
I have soapstone, but mine was in within a week from when I picked it out. They templated and fabricated right in my driveway. How about something like Crema bordeaux. This website also has great pictures of granites - just remember each individual slap is very different. Marble.com |

I went to the place in Ixonia that Nancy referred to above. It's a great place! I've decided to do the New Venetian Gold. They are coming to measure on Thursday, said they can install next Tues or Wed. :) |

Boxerpups has done an AWESOME job of providing WAY COOL examples of what can be done with God's Granite!!! This is totally from the heart: (OK... enough of the "gushing" on my part) Thanks for everyone else's kind words - but especially Boxerpups!!! Best regards kevin |
apologies if this is an obvious question, but I am going through my first kitchen remodel now. Do you purchase your granite slab from one place and the template/fabrication/installation is done by another? Is there a 1-stop shop? Is there a price advantage either way? Does everyone get to supervise the placement & cutting of the slab like pharaoh? |
Kevin, Stop it, your making me blush... Stacys, Often the installer has their own slab yard and access to Templating is after your space is measured and a paper Prices? Rocks are unique, like a diamond. A diamond starts out Is there are price advantage to buying your stone slab Not really and in fact it might be hard to find a quality Installers need to know where the stone came from, the The check list below is a great way to start. |

Most of the replies are correct -- and it is based upon the area you live in and the fabricator you choose. Many have different payment arrangements. Usually we install at most, 1 week from the final template, sometimes sooner. It also depends on our backlog. We did this kitchen, cabinets, tile and granite in about 5 days. Since the cusomter also had granite done, we were able to have the template ready ASAP so they were not without a kitchen very long. We are from the Charlotte area. |

When making chicken stock do you cover it or simmer it uncovered? I never know for sure. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depends if you want it to reduce or not...I usually cook mine uncovered.....that way no chance of a boil over either. |
I always cook mine uncovered and at a low simmer to reduce it and concentrate the flavor. Actually, I rarely cover anything....drives my DH nuts. |
That's what I thought. Thanks! Chase, I always wonder why I boil pasta uncovered, and potatoes always covered. And my potatoes always boil over. I should just learn to boil them uncovered. Habits are hard to break though. |
Chase, I also cook most things uncovered, Elery is constantly putting lids on pots. I also simmer chicken stock uncovered so it can reduce and intensify, and I do it in my big Nesco roaster, so it cooks all day, usually. Annie |
I have always simmered it covered to cook all of the ingredients and then remove the cover to reduce the stock. Probably makes no differance, but just how I do it. Same with most of the soups or sauces I make. Dale P |
I always cover. This will save energy cost. Evaporation will require more heat. Covering also keeps aroma inside. The wonderful smell in your house is the smell no longer in your stock. There is no need to make stock by boiling. Simmering and rapid boiling makes no difference in the stock cooking temperature. dcarch |
- Posted by Donna.in.Sask (My Page) on Mon, May 14, 12 at 1:40
I usually have too much in the pot to cover! But it does make sense that covering would save on energy. Sometimes I use my electric kettle to boil water first and then add to the pot. I find that if the stock comes to a boil, it ends up cloudy rather than clear...simmering will give you clear broth. |
Covered. In my pressure cooker. Half hour, done. |
I can't believe I'm the only one who is a cover it halfway with the lid type of person - because that's the way Mom always did it - that way I get the benefit of reduction and the benefit of keeping aromas in my pot and a little savings on energy costs I presume. |
I put a lid on things where I want to keep the heat in....as carrots steaming in very little water. I remove the lid from things where I want to concentrate the flavors as in a stock or sauce reduction.....and also those things I want to keep from boiling over....as potatoes or pasta. I put the lid half on and half off those things that seem to be splattering but I still want to reduce. |

The dreary days of winter are quickly giving way to longer hours of daylight. Kids will soon be swimming, biking, playing sports and enjoying all the other advantages that more sunshine and warmer weather offers. Theyll also be absorbing more UVA and UVB rays.
While skin cancer in children is rare, and melanoma " the deadliest form of skin cancer- is even more unusual, more cases are being reported according to a new study. The rates increased by about 2% per year from 1973 to 2009 in U.S. children ages newborn to 19. Melanoma accounts for up to 3 percent of all pediatric cancers, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
As you might expect, the largest increase was seen in teenage girls from 15 to19 years old. Girls tend to lay out in the sun or visit tanning booths more often than boys. Girls are more likely to have melanomas on their lower legs and hips while boys melanomas are typically found on the face and trunk.
Recent studies have also shown that melanoma is on the rise among adults as well. Exactly what is driving these trends is not fully understood, but increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation from both the sun and tanning booths as well as greater awareness of melanoma may be responsible, according to study authors led by Jeannette Wong of the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
Skin cancer looks pretty much the same in children as it does in adults. Parents should routinely check any moles or changes in their childs skin.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer. It is highly treatable, grows very slowly and is located on the top layer of skin. It usually appears as a small, shiny bump or nodule on the skin, mainly those areas exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, arms, hands, and face. It more commonly occurs among people with light-colored eyes, hair, and complexion.
Squamous cell carcinoma is a more aggressive skin cancer but

If a child is diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), will he or she eventually outgrow it or continue with the condition into adulthood?
A new study shows that nearly 30% will continue to struggle with ADHD, and may develop other mental health issues.
"We suffer from the misconception that ADHD is just an annoying childhood disorder thats over treated," researcher William Barbaresi, MD, of Boston Childrens Hospital, says in a prepared statement. "This couldnt be further from the truth. We need to have a chronic-disease approach to ADHD as we do for diabetes. The system of care has to be designed for the long haul."
The study included 5,700 adults. Two groups were created: one group had been diagnosed during childhood with ADHD, and the other group grew up without ADHD.
Out of 367 participants who had childhood ADHD, 232 were followed into adulthood. At age 27, nearly 30% had adult ADHD.
Researchers also found that nearly 57% of the adults with childhood ADHD had at least one other mental health issue. 35% of the adults without childhood ADHD also had one or more mental health issues.
Substance abuse or dependence (26%), antisocial personality disorder (17%), other substance abuse/dependence (16%), hypomanic episodes (15%), anxiety disorder (14%) and major depression (13%) were the most common mental health issues experienced by adults diagnosed with childhood ADHD.
The researchers noted that death from suicide was nearly five times higher in this group.
Among all 367 adults with childhood ADHD, seven (1.9%) had died, three of them from suicide. Of 4,946 people without ADHD, only 37 (0.7%) had died, five by suicide.
Ten people whod had childhood ADHD (2.7%) were in jail at the time of recruitment for the study.
This study "speaks to the need to greatly improve the long-term treatment of children with ADHD and provide a mechanism for treating them as adults," r
A new study slated to appear in the Journal of Pediatrics, says that there is no association between the amount of vaccines a young child receives and autism. Some parents have worried that there may be a link and have opted out of having their child vaccinated or reduced the number of vaccines recommended.
When should babies be introduced to solid foods? Many physician groups and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend waiting till your infant is at least 6 months old before solid foods are introduced into his or her diet.
But a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reports that 4 in 10 parents start feeding their babies solid foods before their four-month birthday.
Why should parents wait? According to the AAP, its partly because early solid foods have been linked to obesity and other chronic conditions. Public health experts also agree that a mothers breast milk or nutritionally fortified formula is best fed exclusively till the baby is about 6 months old.
"Introducing solid foods early means that the baby gets less breast milk over the course of their infancy, and that decreases the ability to get optimal benefits, like protection against infection," said Dr. Alice Kuo, from the UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families and Communities.
Choking on solid foods is another concern experts have noted.
"Infants should be able to sit up (and) take food off the spoon," said the CDC's Kelley Scanlon, who worked on the research." Sometimes if they're not ready, if they get presented with the food, they might not open their mouth or they might spit it back up."
The teams research included 1,334 new moms who filled out questionnaires each month about what their baby had eaten in the past week. The surveys were conducted between 2005 and 2007, when AAP recommendations called for starting solid foods no earlier than four months of age. Just over 40 percent of parents reported their babies were eating solids, such as cereals and purees, before that point.
Why were the mothers feeding solid foods so early? They gave several answers. They thought their baby was old enough, their infant seemed hungry " even after being breastfed or given a bottle, and surprisingly many re
Do You Follow Your Child's Doctor's Advice?
Do you follow your child's doctor's advice? If not, you're not alone but you may be setting your child up for future health problems according to a new study.
The study showed that 56 %, about two-thirds, of parents said they followed the doctor's advice most of the time, and 13% said they followed it only occasionally.
The findings were produced by, the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health.
One possible reason as to why parents didn't always follow their child's doctor's advice was how well they related to their medical provider. Among parents who rated their children's doctor as excellent or talking to me in a way I can understand, 6 % said they followed the advice only occasionally. But 46% who rated their doctor as good, fair or poor said they also followed his or her advice only occasionally.
"Parents need to ask for clarification if they are unsure about what the provider is saying, or why it's important," said Dr. Matthew Davis, director of the poll. Doctors should use clear language, ask parents about their concerns, and give practical examples of what works with children, he said.
That last point cannot be emphasized enough. While parents need to speak up if they don't understand what the doctor is telling them, providers need to take the time to ask the parents questions to make sure they understand what is being said and why. Too often parents say they feel they are being rushed out of the exam room and receive information that is given to them in doctor speak and not common language.
What advice are parents more likely to heed? The studys results say that recommendations on nutrition, dentist visits and using car seats.
What recommendations were parents least likely to follow? 40 % said they didn't follow advice on discipline, 18% said they didn't follow advice on sleeping recommendations a
No surprise here, but food for thought. A new report reveals a couple of connections, that with a little common sense you could probably figure out anyway, that have been confirmed in a scientific study.
According to the study, in the last 20 years, there has been a substantial rise in the consumption of sugary drinks in 2 to 11 year olds and children who drink these beverages ingest far more calories than children who don't.
Also, children who drink sugar-sweetened beverages eat more unhealthy foods than other children.
Sugar-sweetened beverages include sodas, fruit drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks.
Unhealthy foods are considered ones that contain high levels of solid fats, sodium and calories such as pizza, fast food hamburgers, cakes, cookies, pies, and fried foods.
Researchers analyzed data from nearly 11,000 U.S. children aged 2-18 years old who participated in national surveys from 2003-2010. During this time children's consumption of food and sugar-sweetened beverages increased, and the consumption of non-sweetened beverages decreased.
Breaking down the analysis even more, it was determined that the sugar-sweetened beverages were the primary cause of increased calories for children 2 to 11 years old.
The study is scheduled for publication (with greater detail) in the April issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"Among all age groups analyzed, the energy density (calories per gram) of food consumed increased with higher sugar-sweetened beverage intake," lead investigator Kevin Mathias, of the department of nutrition at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said in a journal news release.
Currently in New York City, there is a hotly contested debate over the legality of banning certain sized sugar-sweetened beverages. Some people feel it's a good idea to help combat the obesity epidemic and others believe that banning these drinks denies a person the r
In a recent KidsDr.com website article, Pediatrician, Sue Hubbard, writes about Food Myths & Your Baby. Dr. Hubbard emphasizes the need to introduce a variety of foods to children when they start eating solid foods. The myths relate to a nonexistent forbidden foods list parents should avoid in order to prevent their child from having an allergic reaction.
New recommendations, from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), support Dr. Hubbard's encouragement of including foods such as wheat, milk, eggs, fruits, nuts and shellfish in your child's diet.
In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued guidelines that suggested children should put off having milk until age 1, eggs until age 2 and peanuts, shellfish and nuts until age 3. However, in 2008 the AAP revised those guidelines citing little evidence that delays prevented the development of food allergies. It didn't say when and how to introduce such foods though.
The AAAAI's recommendations address those concerns by suggesting foods that are considered highly allergic be slowly introduced in small amounts- after first foods such as cereals, fruits and vegetables have been eaten and tolerated. Babies can be introduced to the more allergic type foods as long as they are prepared correctly. Foods should be mushy and easy for an infant to eat or in the case of eggs and fruits cut into very small pieces.
"There's been more studies that find that if you introduce them early it may actually prevent food allergy," said David Fleischer, co-author of the article and a pediatric allergist at National Jewish Health in Denver. "We need to get the message out now to pediatricians, primary-care physicians and specialists that these allergenic foods can be introduced early."
The theory behind introducing foods, that are considered the most likely to cause an allergic reaction, early and in small doses is that children may actu
New information breast cancer survivors need to know about a drug they might be on right now!
How many times have you told your child Good Boy! or Good Girl! I know I did hundreds of times. It was a mommy reaction to my child's attempt at accomplishment. Hit the ball during a softball game? Good Girl! Create an amazing science project? Good Boy! It was an easy compliment that rolled right off the tongue.
According to a new study, I could have done a little better if I'd praised the actual action instead of just the child. Researchers at the University of Chicago and Stanford University studied the mother-child interactions over several years and discovered that the type of praise you give your child affects their attitudes towards meeting challenges in the future.
Specifically, praise with feedback about the child's behavior and the choices he or she made helped them cope better with difficult experiences five years later, compared with praise focused solely on the child.
This is something we suspected would be the case based on a lot of experimental research, and it's exciting to see it play out in the real world, says Elizabeth Gunderson, an assistant professor of psychology at Temple University, in Philadelphia, who led the study while at the University of Chicago. Praising the efforts, actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and [desire] to be challenged and work hard in the future.
Instead of just saying good boy or girl, you might say something like you really worked hard at learning how to hit that ball, or that was a very creative choice for a science project. I like how you built it. This kind of process praise focuses on the child's accomplishment and effort instead of person praise that focuses on the child's natural qualities.
While the difference may seem small, psychologists have made the distinction for years,. However, they haven't known exactly how these two types of praise affect the child's future development.
Dancing is a wonderful artistic expression and kids have taken to tapping, pirouetting, Irish stepping and even ballroom dancing across the country. While it can be fun and great exercise, lots of these kids are being seriously injured.
Researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital looked at a national database of emergency-department visits. What they found was that the most common dance-related injuries were sprains, strains and injuries from falls. The patients were between 15 and 19 years old.
The researchers said no one on the team is calling for parents to pull their children from dance classes, but that the results from their study suggests that instructors should look for ways to prevent injury in students who participate in the physically demanding activity.
About 113,100 children and teens were treated for dance injuries in U.S. emergency departments between 1991 and 2007, according to the research teams estimates. During that time, the number of cases in a year increased by more than 37 percent, to about 8,500 in 2007. This is the first study to examine dance-related injuries on a national level. It was published in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health.
With about 22,000 dance schools across the country, study author Kristen Roberts, said one reason for the increase in injuries may be that there are simply more children dancing.
Steps to prevent injury include stretching, staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest and using good form.
Eric Leighton, an athletic trainer with the Nationwide Children's sports-medicine program, works with dancers regularly and said that repetition and fatigue often lead to injury.
Whether it's a pitcher throwing a lot of pitches in one inning or a dancer repeating a dance, as the muscles get tired, some of the coordination and the body's ability to cope starts to suffer he said. The hospital recently started a program to focus on dance.
Just about all western babies wear diapers. I'm pretty sure we all know that, but what you may not know is that the bigger the diaper the more difficult it may be for baby to walk.
Scientists compared the gait of 60 babies who wore either a thin diaper, a thicker cloth diaper or no diaper at all. Half of the babies were 19 month-old more experienced walkers, and half were 13 month-old beginners.
When the 13 month-olds walked naked only 10 fell, but when they wore cloth diapers 21 fell. When the babies wore the thinner disposable diapers, 17 fell.
The more experienced walkers, the 19 month-olds, were able to maneuver better. Among the babies who went naked or wore the thinner disposable diapers only four fell. Once they switched to the fuller cloth diapers, 8 fell. Both of the age groups took wider and shorter steps when wearing diapers as opposed to walking naked.
The study cannot predict if wearing diapers has any long-term impact, but it does suggests that giving baby a break from diaper wearing might speed up walking development.
Of course, that leaves a rather big problem what to do about the mess that your baby makes when left to wander the house au naturel. By the way, fresh air on the hiney is also good to cut back on diaper rash, so if you're inclined to give it a try you might wait till after your baby has a bowel movement or has urinated and then let him or her walk a bit without a diaper.
I remember when my child was between one and two years old and learning to walk " it was an exercise in futility trying to keep clothes on her because she loved toddling around naked. She rarely had diaper rash and learned to walk pretty quickly. Of course, diapers are necessary and she wore her fair share, but when we had some time to relax and hang out together off the diapers came. While I kept a close eye on her in case an accident should occur (actually there were only a few), she smiled, giggled and toddled around butt-
Using lung transplants from heavy smokers may sound like a cruel joke, but a new study finds that organs taken from people who puffed a pack a day for more than 20 years are likely safe.
Could spending three more minutes at the dinner table really help lower childhood obesity? According to a new study published in the journal Economics and Human Biology, more time equals less weight.
Scientists at the University of Illinois looked at ways low-income families could help their kids achieve and maintain a healthy weight. They discovered family mealtimes together could be linked to the kid's weight.
The study involved 200 family mealtimes. Children who regularly sat down and had their meals with the family were more likely to have a normal weight than those who cut mealtimes short. Even three minutes more at the table had an impact.
"Children whose families engaged with each other over a 20-minute meal four times a week weighed significantly less than kids who left the table after 15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful," study author Barbara Fiese, director of the University of Illinois' Family Resiliency Program, said in a statement.
The findings suggest that families who have a positive attitude about mealtimes together and consider it an important part of family life, were less likely to have obese or overweight children. Behaviors such as talking and interacting together also seemed to contribute to the children's healthier weight.
Flese noted that teaching low-income families how to make the most of mealtimes together was worthwhile in helping families make the necessary changes needed to combat obesity.
"This is something we can target and teach. It's much more difficult to change such factors as marital status, maternal education, or neighborhood poverty," she said.
Our changing society also offers new challenges for families.
"It's also important to recognize the increasing diversity of families and their sometimes complex living arrangements that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and arrange a single time to commun
A new study from Scotland suggests that the more you talk to and interact with your baby, the less likely it is that your child will develop ADHD later in life.
Researchers believe they have discovered a link between a lack of communication between a mother and her baby and a risk that the child will develop emotional problems and behavioral disorders as the child matures.
Scientists analyzed hundreds of videos of mothers interacting with their year-old babies. Study co-author Dr Clare Allely, a psychologist at Glasgow University's Institute Of Health And Wellbeing, said: "We used 180 videos for this study of mothers interacting with their 12-month-old infants " of which 120 were controls and 60 were of the children who were later diagnosed with disorders at seven years old."
They found that for every decrease of five vocalizations per minute by the mother the odds of the child developing ADHD by the age of seven increased by 44%. Vocalizations included everything from simple sounds to words.
Researchers said the findings did not mean that if you dont talk to your baby all the time that he or she will develop psychological and psychiatric problems. Instead they suggest that active parenting may offer a protective effect against these kinds of conditions.
Philip Wilson, study co-author and professor of primary care and rural health at the University of Aberdeen, said there are several theories on why the link may exist. "We have got the possibility that active parenting and active communication by the parents may have a protective effect against the development of problems with attention and conduct," he said.
"The other main hypothesis is to do with genetics. We know people who themselves have ADHD or conduct problems tend to be more under-active and communicate less later on in life. So the second possible explanation is that it may be the mothers themselves have ADHD and have become underactive and passed on the
Weve all read about, maybe even experienced it ourselves, children being teased, harassed and bullied if they are overweight. The heavier the child, the more intense the negative trifecta becomes. This topic often comes up when discussing classmate and peer bullying, but a new study also looks at obese or overweight children who feel bullied by adults in authority (coaches, gym instructors, teachers,) and their own parents.
Researchers from the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, Yale University, gave 350 teens that had enrolled in two national weight loss camps, questionnaires to fill out. The teens were questioned about weight-based victimization including duration, location where the abuse occurred, who the perpetrators were and what kind of abuse they suffered.
Not surprisingly, results showed that a high percentage of bullying and teasing occurred at school (64%.) Most participants reported weight-based victimization for at least one year (78%) and 36% were teased and or bullied for 5 years.
The teens also noted who was responsible for the bullying. 92% said peers (classmates) and friends (70%.) Then the groups switched to the adults in their lives. PE teachers / sport coaches came in at 42%, followed by parents at 37% and teachers at 27%.
The types of teasing and or bullying were verbal teasing (75-88%), relational victimization (74-82%), cyber-bullying (59-61%) and physical aggression (33%-61%.)
Looking at these statistics, the saddest one of all is parents at 37 percent.
What we see most often from parents is teasing in the form of verbal comments, says Rebecca M. Puhl PhD, the studys lead author.
Some of the remarks made to teens about their weight come from well-meaning parents who are actually trying to encourage their child to lose the extra pounds. But other studies have shown " and former teens who are now adults can verify " that teasing, harassing and bullying by parents and relatives can lead
Add recess to reading, writing and arithmetic says a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP.) The pediatricians believe that recess can be as important to a child's overall development as standard classes and should never be denied, especially as a punishment.
"We consider it essentially the child's personal time and don't feel it should be taken away for academic or punitive reasons," said Dr. Robert Murray, who co-authored the new policy statement for the AAP.
According to the authors, recess is a crucial and necessary component of a child's development.
Other reasons given for the importance of recess are that it helps students develop better communication skills, counteracts the time sitting in classrooms, and may foster skills such as cooperation and sharing - all good things.
The authors noted that previous research has found that children are able to pay closer attention and perform tasks better after a recess break. A year ago, 14 studies were reviewed and researchers found that kids who get more exercise do better in school. Recess and sports related activities offer children the opportunity to exercise and burn off excess energy. They also get a chance to recharge their brains and bodies.
Other organizations have recommended that children need recess as well. The American Heart Association and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CPSC) both call for schools to offer recess to kids. You might think that recess in schools is a given, but in a 2011 survey of 1,800 elementary schools, researchers discovered that a third of the schools did not offer recess to their third-graders. However, most schools do offer recess of between 15 and 30 minutes once or twice a day.
Is there a particular time of day that helps kids most? Before lunch seems to be the consensus from government agencies, CPSC and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Previous studies have found
Ask people to raise their hand if they like math and you most likely won't see a lot of hands in the air. When asked why math isn't particularly popular, many will answer that they just never have been very good at it. A new study suggests that for kids who are not mathematically inclined, studying harder and being strongly motivated to improve can be the key to making better grades.
While genetics may play a role in math comprehension, motivation and study habits can play a more important role during the all important high school years according to the study. It's not how smart we are; it's how motivated we are and how effectively we study that determines growth in math achievement over time, says Kou Murayama, a post-doctoral psychology researcher at University of California Los Angeles and lead author of the study published in the journal Child Development.
Murayama and his colleagues studied math achievement among roughly 3,500 public school students living in the German state of Bavariain. Students were followed from 5th grade through 10th grade and were given annual standard math tests in each grade. They were also given IQ tests and questioned about their attitude towards mathematics.
Researchers wanted to know if the kids believed that better math skills were achievable through hard work and if they were interested in math for its own sake. They also wanted to know if their approach to math included incorporating mathematical concepts into their every day life, or if they relied more on memorization to pass tests.
The psychologists said they were surprised that a higher IQ did not predict new learning ability. Intelligence measured by the IQ test did not indicate how likely students were to understand new concepts or to add new skills. Children with high IQs did have higher test scores but how much new material the kids learned throughout the years the study was conducted, was not related t
By now most people know that concussions can be dangerous. A new study suggests that children who suffer concussions may be more susceptible to long-term effects from their injury.
Researchers studied 30 children between the ages of 10 and 17 years old. Bran scans and cognitive tests were performed. Half of the children had recently suffered concussions in which they'd lost consciousness and shown an altered mental state.
Children who had suffered concussions showed small deficits in their cognition and changes in their brains' white matter, compared with those who hadn't suffered brain injuries. White matter consists of nerve fibers surrounded by the insulating fat called myelin. These results were found 2 weeks after their injuries.
Three months later, brain scans showed that the children who had suffered concussions still had changes in their white matter.
"These findings may have important implications about when it is truly safe for a child to resume physical activities that may produce a second concussion, potentially further injuring an already vulnerable brain," study researcher Andrew Mayer, of the University of New Mexico, said in a statement.
Studies with adults who have had concussions have shown that the brains white matter changes, but this study showed that the damage to white matter in children who had concussions was greater. Mayer said that children may be more susceptible to the effects of brain injuries.
Dr. Christopher Giza, a brain injury researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, said future studies should investigate whether the structural changes revealed in the brain scans have clinical implications for kids. Giza was not involved in the study.
"Further work is needed to determine whether the changes in white matter present at four months represent a prolonged recovery process or permanent change in the brain," Giza said in a statement.
Previous studies have shown tha

Godfrey Tanner Bar
Godfrey Tanner Bar

You can find the Godfrey Tanner Bar on the Shortland side of campus, the bar boasts a tasty gourmet menu (burgers and pizza for under $10 anyone?) and Tanner Tuesdays.
It all happens on Tuesdays in the Godfrey Tanner Bar from Q&A nights to knitting, Open Mic Night or Debating! Check our regular events page to find out more about when these free events are happening.
Also host to regular games of trivia, pool comps and Tanner Tuesdays, the Godfrey Tanner Bar is the perfect place to relax in between lectures and tutorials.
Serving both food and drinks (including the alcoholic kind), the Godfrey Tanner Bar is open from 10am. View the full menu.
You can also hire the bar for functions.
With an outdoor balcony equipped with tables and chairs as well as comfy booths inside, the Godfrey Tanner Bar is as relaxed as its namesake.
Godfrey Tanner is a most conspicuous character. From one perspective, having a bar named after you is a somewhat dubious honour. In Tanner's case, it's an indication of the extent to which he was happy to meet students on their own terms.
He was always involved in the student life of the university, and was extremely generous and supportive. Many remember him with great fondness, and suggest that Tanner was the exemplar of the university spirit in Newcastle.
Of course, that being the case, it's quite apt that we acknowledge that with a bar.
So if you are one of the people who have, like Godfrey Tanner, realised that university life isn't just about studying, the Godfrey Tanner Bar is a place for you.
The Godfrey Tanner Bar is open from 10am - 6pm everyday except Tuesday when the bar hosts Tanner Tuesday until 10pm.
The U is committed to providing an environment which is safe and enjoyable for customers and staff at Godfrey Tanner Bar. We aim to serve our customers in a responsible, friendly and professional manner, and to meet the conditions of our liquor license. Review our house policy here.

Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh was reportedly injured in an attack on the presidential palace today in Sana'a, the capital. The attack also killed four guards and injured the prime minister, deputy prime minister, and parliament speaker.
The fighting in Sana'a broke out May 23, the day after Saleh refused for the third time to sign a transition agreement. It has quickly escalated: footage from the capital show images of urban warfare, tribesmen and military forces from other areas are reinforcing military positions in Sana'a, and there have been sustained clashes outside of the capital. Today's attack on the president himself may move the conflict toward outright war in the capital.
Why should the U.S. care? Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has conducted multiple attacks on American soil, finds sanctuary in the country. AQAP only stands to gain as the situation in Yemen deteriorates. As I write for the Weekly Standard:
Yemen's escalating violence, an economy on the brink of collapse, and the prospect of widespread civil war or a fragmented state may present the White House with a very dark reality—the emergence of a terrorist sanctuary on the Arabian peninsula hosting an outfit that has targeted the U.S. homeland.
AEI's Critical Threats Project is providing daily updates and analysis of the situation in Yemen that are also sent out by email.

It stated with a thought: "Wouldn't it be cool……" you know the kind of thought.
I am thinking you start with a Rookie pilot
for every sucessful game he earns "commendations" x=commendations earns a new rank (imperial or rebel)
at each new rank you get a new piece of kit ie Astromech, Targeting computer, Proton torps that kind of thing (hopefully mostly represented by the cards but may need to come up with other ones too)
Also Each confirmed "kill" you get expierence X=experience earns new Reputation eg Experienced, vereran, Ace, legend and such.
at each new Reputation you can get increased stats or skills/abilities (once again hopefully there will be cards for these)
So you can make up a pilot name him and trach his career, I like the Idea of a Tie pilot earning acess to a Tie advanced when he gets to a certain rankyou could have imperial Captain Needa the verteran withe a custom pained ship with kill markings painted on if you were thus inclined.
What do you think?
Does anybody have good references for the rank system of the Rebel Alliance and/or the Empire
I remember one of the X-wing novels gave a number of kills that made a pilot an ace any body remember what the number is or which one of the novels? (i'll probably reread them all in the near future but i am ancle deep in George RR Martin at the moment.)

Sponsored by Britelite.
A 22-year-old man from Gillingham has been charged with drug smuggling after officers at Dover seized amphetamine and cocaine worth an estimated £400,000.
The drugs were discovered last Wednesday when officers at Dover's Eastern Docks inward tourist controls stopped and searched a British-registered van. The drugs were found in the floor of the vehicle.
Thomas John Mayes, from Kemsley Street, Bredhurst, appeared at Canterbury Magistrates Court on Friday, charged with the importation.
He withheld his plea and was remanded in custody. Mr Mayes will next appear at Canterbury Crown Court on March 10.
The amphetamine had an estimated value of £300,000 and the cocaine, once cut and sold on the streets, £100,000.
Following the seizure by Border Force, the investigation and prosecution are being carried out by the National Crime Agency.
Paul Morgan, director of Border Force South East and Europe said: "Cocaine and amphetamine are vile and destructive drugs, which ruin the lives of users and the wider community.
"In making this seizure Border Force officers have prevented harmful drugs from reaching the streets of the UK."
