So we've been sterilizing our bottles with a microwave steam bottle sterilizer. Is this at all required? What risks might exist if we don't bother?
No, it's not required. Lots of children are born into dirty surroundings and still survive. Yes, it's advised for newborns and infants because they have not yet built up enough immune resistance. Baby bottles, teething toys, and other objects that the newborn/infant puts in the mouth can be sterilized to reduce any unnecessary burden on the child. Once the kids start sucking on all kinds of non-sterilized toys, non-toys, stroller wheels!, etc. you can stop sterilizing. While you are still sterilizing, be sure to read and follow the instructions carefully. It's very easy to contaminate a newly-sterilized set of bottles with a thoughtless hand movement. PS: When we were expecting, we were lured into the fear trap and bought a brand-new Philips sterilizer. We could probably have found the same used for much less, or even a kit that can be used in the microwave like you mention. Fear can help people open their eyes and do a little basic research (good), or it can sucker them into spending more than they have to (silly). |
Babies take a while to build up resistance to infection, so sterilising bottles, at least for the first few months, is definitely recommended. Milk is a very good food not only for babies, but for bacteria so you want to get bottles clean, and then sterilised! |
On a daily basis, sterilization is not necessary, particularly if these things are washed with soap and hot water shortly after use. However, when someone in the home gets sick, the bottles, nipples, pacifiers and mouthy-toys should be sterilized. Also any items left unwashed for a while (like the pacifier tied to the stroller) could use sterilization from time to time. It was easy for me to sterilize because we had an electric dishwasher, which gets hot enough for long enough to kill bacteria. We put the nipples and small items in a special basket, and it worked like a charm. |

Vargas-Masterson a matchup of efficient hurlers
Royals lefty, Indians righty take mound with series deadlocked at 1
Left-hander Jason Vargas, in his four starts for the Royals, has been the model of efficiency. He's thrown at least seven innings in each outing and his 1.24 ERA was third in the American League.
During his 29 innings, Vargas has faced as many as five batters in only seven of those innings.
"He throws strikes," manager Ned Yost said.
Indeed, Vargas has issued just six walks. He's also given up a bunch of hits (21), but has shown a great knack for stranding baserunners. All four runs scored against him have been the result of three homers.
Vargas has pitched just twice at Progressive Field and not since 2011, but did well in both starts with a 1-0 mark and a 1.94 ERA.
His mound opponent on Wednesday night, Indians right-hander Justin Masterson, has been pretty efficient himself lately with 16 strikeouts in his last 11 innings.
Masterson has no record in his four starts. He left his last outing against Toronto with a 2-1 lead in the top of the seventh but didn't have a decision as the Tribe lost, 3-2.
The two teams are jammed into a tightly knotted AL Central and both have faced all four of their division foes.
"Our division right now, you look at the standings and everybody is all bunched up, which is probably pretty fortunate for us because we didn't get off to the greatest start," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "I would say it looks to me like everybody really got better, which I'm not pleased about. I think it makes for good baseball for the fans."
Royals: Esky proving very pesky
Always potent as a defensive weapon, shortstop Alcides Escobar is also reigniting his offensive game.
Since going 0-for-16 to start the season, Escobar has hit at a .426 clip at 20-for-47 with nine runs, eight RBIs, six doubles and a home run.
His goal is getting back to his 2012 success when he batted .293 and was over .300 going into the season's last month. Last year he slipped to .234 with 35 fewer hits.
Indians: The Bourn return
Michael Bourn has played just six games after missing about a month with a left hamstring injury and Francona was asked if he expected a brief feeling-out period for his center fielder.
"Yeah, sure," Francona said. "You can never quite tell. It happens. How many times have you seen it where a guy comes up and he's 4-for-4 right off the bat? ... He'll play his way into feeling good. He's moving around in the outfield a lot. ... The best way for us to get Bourny back to being Bourny is to play him."
Bourn was just 3-for-21 until Tuesday night when he got two hits in an 8-2 loss.
Francona thought the Indians' decision bring back Bourn when they did was the right one.
"We talked to him a lot. I actually talked to him a lot," Francona said. "He was really good about it. Some guys, you're not sure. He was really good and really honest about how he felt, because we would've probably let him play that Sunday [April 13 in Chicago] and he wanted to play another [rehab] game. He's really good about it."
Worth noting
• Alex Gordon has hit Masterson well, .353 going 12-for-34 with five extra-base hits and five RBIs. Jarrod Dyson has just nine at-bats against him, but five hits.
• Mike Moustakas' home run Tuesday night ended the Indians pitching staff's streak of consecutive innings without a blast at Progressive Field at 57.
• The Royals are 10-0 when scoring at least four runs, 0-9 when they do not.

Crazy Quilts: This style of quilting began back around the 1870's and they are not as crazy and random as one might think. These quilts are a great way to use random bits of scraps. Traditionally the pieces are sewn onto a foundation piece of fabric and each seam is then covered with a decorative stitch. You have a chance to really let go and explore your creative side with crazy quilts.
Threaded Pear Studio's pattern Crazy Mixed Up has instructions for two different sizes and they are fat quarter friendly.
Victorian Crazy Quilt has 12 different blocks, each with a different center focal point made in a variety of ways. A great way to learn new skills, or put the ones you already know to use. Feather Stitch, Whipped Running Stitch, Detached Chain and Straight Stitches, Needle Lace, and Stem Stitch are just a few example of the methods used in this quilt.

■ Developed specifically for heavy demolition jobs (e.g. dry cutting of steel, nuclear decommissioning, and extremely accurate sawing on oilrigs). ■ The increased number of beads gives the wire excellent performance on these demanding jobs.
The Cobra wire, which is the universal wire, handles cutting in reinforced concrete and even extreme tasks as iron sawing. It cuts faster and lasts longer than standard electroplated/sintered wire. A Cobra wire is a vacuum brazed wire that is developed specifically for demanding applications like dry and wet cutting in reinforced concrete, and in solid or hollow steel. The vacuum technology enhances durability and performance. Vacuum technology uses active welding, one of the strongest welding methods, making for extra hard bonds and excellent diamond retention.
As all of our professional range wires have the same orange rubber, an indicator ring is used to distinguish between the wire models. This indicator ring is pierced with a number of holes corresponding to the wire model. So it's easy to identify the wires, even when they are worn.
The synthetic rubber adheres extremely well to the beads, steel, wire and spring. This design helps protect against abrasive wear and prevents slurry from contaminating the spring and wire. The synthetic rubber can also withstand high temperatures that can easily occur when the cooling water is not properly adjusted.

Late last month NVIDIA released the 195.22 beta Linux driver as the first in this new driver series, and while there are new features and advancements going on there, NVIDIA is still maintaining the current 190.xx stable driver series...
I would prefer a new 195.xx series update with some divx fixes for vdpau.
Nvidia Driver,
For Christmas can I please have the ability to set monitor rotation in the nVidia X server settings utility? I'm really bad at editing text files.
xrandr -o X
0 to 3 (default 0).
Dear Santa,
please strike the ATI/AMD BOD with inspiration, so they put some more resources into the FGLRX team, so they can fix all the broken stuff, as fast as nVida does....
Respectfully yours,
P.S: The Milk & Cookies, are by the Tree. ;-)
Well I got bored and sad while testing xvba and replaced the ATI 4550 by a shiny new Nvidia GT220 - vdpau is much better - divx support could be still improved however, but that's mainly a diligence work. h264,vc1 and mpeg2 works already fine.
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is the following:
1 post by deanjo about something positive in fglrx or radeon drivers.
1 post by Quaridarium that isn't incomprehensible and written like an 8 year old who's just discovered the joys of anonymous postings on the internet.
1 article by Michael that doesn't consider Ubuntu the be-all-end-all of linux distros.
And while I'm at it, an Intel SSD drive.
Well, 1 out of 4 ain't bad.

Arroyo looks to maintain grip on Brewers
Cincinnati right-hander hopes to continue success vs. Milwaukee
The Brewers have not fared well against the National League Central Division this season, and things will not get much easier this weekend.
Milwaukee, which is 10-18 against its own division this year, will meet the second-place Reds for the start of a three-game set on Friday in Cincinnati.
And they will face Bronson Arroyo, who has plenty of experience against the Brewers.
Arroyo beat Milwaukee in early May and has started against the Brewers 27 times in his 14-year career, tied for second most against any Major League team. The right-hander carries a record of 14-10 against the Brewers.
Arroyo has lost only once since a three-game losing streak from April 25 to May 6. He tossed 6 2/3 innings of scoreless ball against the Brewers on May 12, the final win in a three-game Cincinnati sweep.
Arroyo, who has lasted at least five innings in each of his starts this season, is 4-1 in his last six starts.
He'll match up against Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse, who is coming off an eight-inning, one-run performance against the Phillies on Sunday.
Lohse started 1-5 before missing a start in May with right elbow irritation. He returned with a loss, but he has righted the ship with back-to-back quality starts.
Lohse, who has a respectable 4.03 ERA despite his 2-6 record, signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Brewers this offseason.
Reds: Frazier finding his stroke
Todd Frazier was homerless since April 24 until going yard in back-to-back games against the Cubs on Tuesday and Wednesday. He has eight homers in 62 games this season after hitting 19 in 128 games last year.
"I knew it was gonna turn around," Frazier said. "It's gonna turn around. … I'm trying to get some hits, trying to help the team. Do I want to hit home runs? Of course. But at the same time, I'm trying to get my average up and we're trying to win. I know at the end of the year, I'm going to have my numbers.
"It felt really good, and now it's time to keep taking off."
• Reds right fielder Jay Bruce has hit well against Lohse in his career, batting .333 with a home run and five RBIs in 24 at-bats against the right-hander.
• The Reds swept a three-game set with the Brewers from May 10-12, outscoring Milwaukee 22-11.
Brewers: Braun questionable with sore thumb
Ryan Braun hasn't swung a bat since the third inning of Sunday's 9-1 win over the Phillies and could be headed to the disabled list if he's not ready to go for the three-game series against the Reds.
"If things Friday and Saturday don't go well, then we will see about that," said manager Ron Roenicke. "I think the more we keep him off of it, the better. It's going to get better. It's just a matter of if four days is enough."
• Brewers pitchers have recorded four straight quality starts, the most since they had a season-high six in a row from April 23-29.
• At 7-5 in June, the Brewers have already surpassed their win total from all of May, when they tied the franchise record for lowest winning percentage in a calendar month (6-22, .214).

In typical PRS fashion, there are oodles of rumors about the brands and models of speakers they use in the variety of cabs they offer. Celestion, WGS, etc. Does anyone have any specifics?
In typical PRS fashion, there are oodles of rumors about the brands and models of speakers they use in the variety of cabs they offer. Celestion, WGS, etc. Does anyone have any specifics?
vintage 30 Celestions in my paisley 2x12
Secretary of Crackwood Addiction
You can't really have a speaker secret unless you design the speaker yourself so all the info should be on the cabinet product page.
"The 2x12 Cabinet features Celestion Vintage 30's and the 4x10 Cabinet features Celestion G10 Greenback speakers."
Paul Reed Smith 7 - S t r i n g A c t i v i s t | Fueled by P T C
Well, that's not exactly the case. The Vintage 30 is the perfect case in point because there are 3 versions of this speaker with similar/same labels and names but made in different plants with different respective tones. Marshall started the craze with a unique design that they sent to Celestion for production. This became the G12H30 "reissue" for the 4001 and was a hit, but because it was proprietary to Marshall, Celestion deviated slightly from the design to create the V30.
Today, V30s are made in two locations, England and China. For example, the private labeled V30s for Mesa/Boogie's version is made in England exclusively. The V30s in many other brand cabs are from China and sound different to my ears. I've not disassembled my pine 2x12 to check out the point of origin. Anyone done this?
On at least the Sweet16 combo, I've seen this loaded with a 'specially voiced' WGS ET65 speaker. Proprietary? Different doping? Is it found in any other application? I'm willing to bet PRS didn't just slap arbitrary speakers into their otherwise carefully designed cabs.

Ah you learn everything day. I knew that question wasn't as simple as I perceived haha
Paul Reed Smith 7 - S t r i n g A c t i v i s t | Fueled by P T C
Dude, this is nerd-central around here. My post was more or less troll-bait. But I'd seriously like to know.
Very good question...I'm curious too...I haven't gotten into the PRS cabs yet....although I've played through a PRS cab before...reminded me of a Mesa....my cabinet of choice is a Mesa recto 2x12 loaded with v30's...I currently have two of these and they flat out rip...I run my Recording Amp through one of these... I also have v30's in my Rivera's as well. The subtleties are interesting...it's always hard to know how much is the speaker or the cab...or simply which speakers are broken in better.
I forgot that you have the recto 212s, same as me...they're nice cabs, I think, and they do work well with the PRS amps. Actually...they work nicely with a lot of amps, I've been using Mesa cabs for a long time, though I do want to try a PRS cab. I suspect I'll like both!
The 410 PRS cab also looks very sweet; another one I'd like to check out.
Too much stuff, too little time and money! LOL
We even clone them in Australia!

yeah I hear you...always way too many toys out there..I dig 10 inch speakers...and I would love to get my hands on one of the PRS cabs.
One of my favorite 10 inch speakers is in my Venus 3 and it absolutely kills...I'd love to get a 4x10 loaded with them...it's an eminence vintage gold speaker Rivera has made to their specs...it's about perfect.
Honestly I've tried a lot of cabs and the Mesa Recto cabs are just it for me. In retrospect I do remember feeling very comfortable with that PRS cab I demoed a particular H through...I switched back and forth between it (it was a 212) and a Mesa 412 and was pleased with the response of the PRS cab overall...it seemed tight, articulate, enough bass, and projected well...reminded me a lot of the Mesa.
BTW it always amazes me how people don't take their cab and speaker selection seriously enough...it can make or break your sound....I love trying different combinations out...no two cabs are the same...the Mesa cabs i have are consistent but not 100% the same and each imparts its own unique flavor.
Last edited by Dirty Bob; 01-29-2013 at 09:47 PM.
I, too, have used Mesa cabs for many years and only experimented with changing speakers a few times. Granted, mine are quite a bit older than most and aren't loaded with V30s, but they've been great companions for a couple decades plus. And until I played the combination of a PRS head thru a PRS 2x12 cab with V30s did I appreciate that speaker. With my previous amps, it just didn't mesh with my music. Changing the speakers to WGS ET65 and Veteran 30 made a huge difference and was my go-to cab until recently. Whatever PRS did differently works really well for me. And when I play the old Boogie cab side-by-side with the 2x12 pine, the PRS cab sounds SO much better to me now. That's why I bought the matched amp/cab set.
I had the Mesa 2x12 rectifier cab for years but after hearing the PRS 2x12 I mediately sold the mesa....... Just sounded more like my old Marshall 4x12 cab.
I really agree with that statement. And believe it or not, I think the thicker jute speaker covering works as a beam blocker, of sorts. And it may also be a factor of amp selection, but I don't have any harsh, ice pick sonic laser beams any more. Our other guitarist, sporting his Marshall DSL40 combo, OTOH, is not so lucky. My Boogie MkIII even sounds better. (crud, did I just say that??!!)
Do you guys have the bigmouth/deep 2x12's, or the shallower 2x12's?
I'll save everyone the SE ramblings, since that's the cab I have, I just want to say, I think the bigmouth design is SO spot on. I can hardly touch my 1x12 cab or 1x12 combo, and I had even tried a 2x12 Orange cab... the tone of the bigmouth design just sounds a lot better to me.
That being said, I would really like to get my hands on the PRS 4x10 sometime... just for kicks...
-I'm no expert, but it seems to work and I haven't electrocuted myself yet. Which is pretty much the standard I live by.
S2 Custom 22 Semi-Hollow - SE Akesson+57/08's - Mira X - SE Custom 24 25th Anniversary - SE 30 Head/Cab
Mine is the standard depth 2x12 pine cab. The Bigmouth sounded so close to my old Boogie 2x12s. They sound huge, but I preferred the standard cab in my application. For modern rock/metal apps, the Bigmouth rocks.
I have both cabs and they sound great in a lot of different applications. When I open them up.. the V30s installed are made in China. but they also have been modded to reduce the doping. From what I understand, PRSh likes the tone better without the doping..
The 10" Celestions are Made in England.
The "30" combo has the WGS ET65 speaker

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Where is your favorite reading spot? Maybe that cozy chair by the window where the sun pours in just right, or on a pile of pillows on the floor with friends. Perhaps it is a grassy hillside or a tree house or the comfy old rocking chair in the school library.
Regardless, of where you like to read, it's a great question to ask when we consider how to inspire our students to read more and ultimately ensure we have students reading at grade level by third grade.
Why? Reading proficiency by third grade is a primary indicator of academic success. However, we not only want readers who are proficient at literacy skills, we also want readers who want to read; readers who have the interest in picking up a book to read for pleasure or to learn something new.
The top cited way to inspire children (or anyone) to read and enjoy books is to read aloud to them. According to the 1985 landmark report, Becoming a Nation of Readers: The Report of the Commission on Reading, reading aloud was identified as "the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading."
Students at all grade levels can enjoy listening to stories. The Truckee Noon Rotary club has volunteers that read aloud to Truckee state preschool students weekly and also volunteer reading with 1st-3rd grade students at Truckee Elementary.
Dianne Fix, former owner of and teacher at Church of the Mountains Preschool, does volunteer reading at elementary school classrooms, public and private preschools, and the Truckee Pines Head Start program.
As part of the Tahoe Truckee Reads plan, we are working to expand such read aloud programs to other state subsidized preschools. It's a great connection between the community and the students and yields so many benefits - to readers and non-readers.
The benefits of reading aloud, as listed by Dr. Steven Layne in his book, Igniting a Passion for Reading, include increased reading comprehension, improved listening skills, a broadening of vocabulary, and contributes to building lifetime readers.
Let's inspire children to want to read. How do we do it? Where do we start? Well, you're reading right now. Where are you and what are your surroundings that makes it comfortable for reading? From school to home to the library and anywhere else a child has the opportunity to read, let's think about what we can do to make it an inviting and comfortable place.
Having books on a shelf is not always enough to inspire a child to read. Making reading a part of daily life, having a comfortable place to read, and seeing role models, such as older students, parents, and teachers, enjoying reading all are parts of inspiring children to love reading. Having designated reading spaces big or small shows children that reading is important.
Our schools and teachers work hard to teach reading skills and inspire children to read. As parents, business leaders and a community, we also play a role in helping to inspire children to read. Let's start by thinking about what makes a great reading spot.
This month, we asked students and the community to share their favorite reading place. For example, at Glenshire Elementary, Kings Beach Parent Co-op preschool and the Truckee Library, a bulletin board was dedicated to this project.
Under the title of "My Favorite Reading Spot," children and grown-ups had the opportunity to write down and share their favorite reading location. If you have children (of any age) or a neighbor or a friend, ask them where they like to read - they may surprise you!
As a community, let's ask, "Do we have cozy reading spots at home, at school, the libraries, and other places in the community?" If not, how can we create more inviting spaces? Then grab a book, get comfortable and start reading!

Through each opportunity, volunteers can share the love of Christ through support and guidance during a challenging decision-making period. We are in need of volunteers to continue to offer current operational hours two times weekly (scheduled for 1-2 times monthly). Other volunteer areas include expansion to monthly evening hours, occasional transportation to local appointments, scheduled nursery care for those wishing to earn GEDs or diplomas, and mentors for "Showers of Love" newborn and parenting education programs.

Helping kids
Become a CASA volunteer and be rewarded with some of the most powerful and fulfilling experiences you can find. CASA is the only organization that empowers everyday citizens as appointed "friends of the court". Volunteers fit well with the court as the American Justice System is built on juries; a body of citizens sworn to give a true verdict according to the evidence presented in a court of law. In 1990 with the inclusion of the CASA Program in the Victims of Child Abuse Act, Congress affirmed the use of volunteers in our otherwise closed juvenile court systems and made provisions for the growth of our volunteer movement nationwide. Locally CASA of Warren and Forest Counties has 23 volunteers serving 23 children. Your involvement will make a direct impact on a child's life and perhaps generations to come. CASA of Warren and Forest Counties welcomes volunteers from all cultures, professions, ethnic and educational backgrounds.
