Hemangioma on upper lip
I am new to this forum and just hoping to get some advice/support/opinions. My 14 month old son has a hemangioma on his upper lip, about the size of a nickel in diameter.... and pretty thick, he looks like he just has a big lip :) Well, my husband and I are ready to seek out surgical removal because he is a typical boy and has already busted it TWICE by falling during play... we don't want him to end up hurting it to a point where we have to have emergency surgery or something... and we are tired of worrying while he plays. Has anyone here had their child's hemangioma removed?? (lip hemangiomas preferebly...) |
Hi and welcome!
Lots of people here have gone that route and they will post soon. I didn't want you to have to wait for a response, but have no advice. Have you chosen a physician yet? Missy |
Hi! My daughter has an upper lip hemangioma. She is 8 years old now and has just a trace of it left. She was on oral steroids at first and then had surgery when she was 5, and then 2 laser treatments. The best way to explain our journey is to take a look at her album:

Cutest Little Thing
By thekindnessofstrangers
I wish to open an occasion card
And see a little gift for me
Something that will make me smile
Something that will make me see
That you, could be the one for me!
I can just imagine opening the front door
To see a joyful little friend waiting for me.
Someone who will make me happy
Some who will help me not to cry,
Something that cannot sing
But will say goodbye!
The lovely little pout it gives when sad
The happy little indications that it needs a hand.
Something I can fuss over,
Something I can inspire,
That its only purpose, is to be there for me.

History of the A's |
The Losses Mount |
CITY DEFEAT A's
WIN 7 – 5 SQUEAKER HERE The St. Catharines
July 14, 1966 St.
Catharines Athletics came up with one of their best games in recent weeks
last night at Haig Bowl but it was still not good enough. A's dropped
their 14th decision in Ontario Lacrosse Association Senior A
play losing a tight 7 – 5 game to Peterborough. The
loss dropped St. Catharines further into the cellar in the five team
league while the Pepsi-Petes moved to within one point of Toronto in the
race for first place. The
low scoring game was dominated by the spectacular play of the opposing
goalies, both making big saves on tough shots. Bob
McCready played one of his better games of the season for Athletics. His
fine play helped keep the game close especially in the late stages when
St. Catharines started to get leg weary. At
the other end of the court, Petes has Pat Baker in goal. This was
Baker's first game with Peterborough since they gained his rights from
Brooklin on a decision by the league executive. Baker starred for the
Merchants last year when they advanced to the Mann Cup finals. A's
gave indications that they might be ready to break out of their losing
slump by taking a 3-1 lead in the first period. However the visitors came
back to even it at 4-4 going into the final period. McCready
Hurt McCready
suffered a cut over his left eye late in the first period when he stopped
a hard shot from Joe Todd on his mask. The teams took their break and the
final minute and 21 seconds was played just prior to the second period
after McCready has been taped up. Peterborough's
scoring was well spread out with seven players picking up one goal each.
Sharing the scoring were Jim Paterson, Tim O'Grady, Jim Vilneff, John
Davis, Jim Gooley, Bob Allan, and Cyril Coombs. Brian
Woods counted two goals for St. Catharines while Art Graham and Brian and
Bob Melville got the others. Both
the Melville brothers are still junior age but neither looked out of place
in senior company. Bob scored three goals for A's here Sunday against
Toronto while Brian has been one of the top scorers all season with the
junior Supertests. The
game was half an hour late getting started as the Peterborough bus did not
arrive until after 8:30 p.m. The delay was apparently caused by heavy
traffic. It
also evened the score as some of the St. Catharines players were late
arriving for the game in Peterborough last Friday. A
total of 56 minutes in penalties were handed out but just over half of
these came in the final period. St. Catharines took 35 minutes including a
10-minute misconduct to Doug Smith while Peterborough had 21 minutes. Both
Teams Both
teams drew a five-minute fighting penalty. The only incident in the game
came late in the second period when Gooley high-sticked Brian Melville
into the boards. A's playing coach Smith went after Gooley but ended up
in a shoving match with Roy Wood. Nothing really serious happened but
referees Al Kellogg and Bob Dobie, hoping to keep things under control,
sent Smith and Wood off for five minutes each. Smith
also got the game's only misconduct penalty. He was sent off for
high-sticking at 16:08 of the third period and when Peterborough scored
two seconds later Smith made an uncomplimentary remark from the penalty
box and was promptly assessed an additional 10 minutes. Petes
broke the 4-4 tie in the third period when McCready was caught out of his
goal. Davis let a low shot go that beat Smith who tried to cover up for
the St. Catharines goalie. Bob
Melville got that one back but Allan got what proved to be the winner at
10:07 with Graham in the penalty box. Athletics
now have a full week layoff before their next game when they play host to
Brooklin, Wednesday at Haig Bowl. Peterborough:
Goal, Baker; defence, Gooley (1-0), Anthony (0-1), Wood (0-1), Drummond,
Mason; forwards, Todd (0-1), Coombes (1-0), Downer, Allan (1-1), Armour,
Vilneff (1-0), Paterson (1-1), Davis (1-3), O'Grady (1-0), Bryne. St.
Catharines: Goal, McCready; defence, Smith, Graham (1-0),
Hallet (0-1), Timlock, Thorne; forwards, Doan, Boyd, Allen, Hall, Bob
Melville (1-0), Woods (2-1), Howe (0-2), Thomson (0-2), Brian Melville

BALTIMORE December 07, 2011
SafeNet, Inc., a global leader in data protection, today announced the availability of the company's Type 1-certified Ethernet Encryptor (TEE). The first solution of its kind, the TEE secures classified information at Layer 2 up to 10Gbps, the Ethernet transport layer, and can be transparently overlaid onto existing networks, allowing a smooth transition from HAIPE to Ethernet. This new technology for the protection of classified data delivers enhanced performance compared to IP-based solutions for real-time, latency-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive applications.
SafeNet's Ethernet Encryptor, designated as KG-345, dramatically reduces the burden of network security and lowers management costs by simplifying network architectures, streamlining security policy management, and eliminating the data throughput inefficiencies associated with conventional Layer 3 security management.
"Targeted attacks are looking to steal sensitive citizen, economic and government information," said John Pescatore, Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst. "The global nature and increasing bandwidth of government communications require ubiquitous, transparent and scalable encryption and key management capabilities."
This technology optimizes the capacity of existing bandwidth by reducing encryption overhead and eliminating burdensome tunneling schemes. The Type 1-certified Ethernet Encryptor limits disruption of security configuration and network outages which are critical as agencies migrate from IPv4 to IPv6.
The TEE easily integrates into carrier or agency-owned Ethernet networks, delivering government-grade encryption without impacting operations. The Ethernet encryption device is managed by the SafeNet Security Management Center (SMC). The SMC provides centralized encryptor management along with tools for rapid deployment, administration, and auditing, making managing thousands of encryptors a simple task. The SMC further enhances the scalability and cost-effectiveness of encryption by providing a single management platform for SafeNet commercial and classified encryption devices.
"This technology allows government agencies to take advantage of the same cost-saving properties of Carrier Ethernet that commercial enterprises are enjoying, at an assurance level appropriate for protecting classified data," said Jim Summers, senior vice president & general manager, Government Data Protection, SafeNet. "Our NSA-certified Type 1 Ethernet Encryptor is another example of SafeNet's culture of innovation and dedication to providing government-grade encryption solutions to the world's most security-conscious agencies."

Court granted lender's motion for relief from stay because lender wasn't adequately protected & because the land wasn't necessary to an effective reorganization, as debtors had no more than a hope of being able to make money from the farming operation

Reported at 23 B.R. 130. Debtors purchased household items on a revolving charge account. The seller retained a purchase-money security interest in each item until it was paid for, so the debtors could not avoid the seller's lien under section 522
Debtor alleged emotional distress when Texas company refused to move her belongings to Neb. until she paid storage & transit charges and paid off a purchase-money lien on the goods. Court said Neb. law applied, then dismissed for failure to state a claim
Reported at 22 B.R. 934. The Chapter 7 trustee knowingly abandoned scheduled property of the estate. The abandonment was thereafter irrevocable, despite the fact that the property turned out to be more valuable than the trustee had anticipated
Reported at 22 B.R. 914. Overrules Douglas v. United States (In re Douglas), 10 B.R. 283 (Bankr. D. Neb. 1981), and holds that wages earned but not yet paid on the petition date are property of the bankruptcy estate and are protected by the automatic stay
Reported at 22 B.R. 696. The court interpreted the Nebraska annuity exemption statute, Neb. Rev. Stat. section 44-371 as amended in 1980, to permit the exemption of a maximum amount of $5,000 worth of annuity policies, not $5,000 in each policy
Debtor-landlord's actions in taking steps to evict plaintiff tenant were taken in accordance with state law and did not violate the tenant's rights. Any damages that resulted from the eviction would not rise to the level of non-dischargeable debt
Reported at 22 B.R. 689. Creditor objected to plan confirmation based on its secured status. The objection was overruled because creditor's lien was not noted on the vehicle's title and therefore the claim was unsecured at best
The parties disputed the amount due to the debtor on a contract to raze a building and construct a new one. The evidence was insufficient to support the debtor-plaintiff's contention regarding the amount the defendant was to pay for the project
The creditor's lien was subordinate to the rights of the trustee under sec. 544(a) because the creditor improperly perfected its security interest by filing it in the wrong county. Therefore, the trustee could sell the assets free and clear of liens

Freedom and Independence
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013) |
Zrzeszenie Wolność i Niezawisłość WiN (English: Freedom and Independence) was a Polish underground anti-communist organisation founded on September 2, 1945 and active to 1952.[1]
Political Goals and Realities[edit]
The main purpose of its activity was to prevent Soviet domination over Poland and to fight communism. Although, the pursuit of those goals was supposed to be largely peaceful, the fact of Soviet domination over Poland and the increasingly hostile and provocative behavior of local communists frequently resulted in WiN having its hand forced and in military confrontation. Although the WiN forces were well-armed and highly disciplined, they could not hope to fight a prolonged guerilla war against the Soviet Red Army and NKVD units - a fact clearly understood by the leadership. Thus, to the extent possible WiN attempted instead to concentrate not on military action but rather on providing assistance (false documents, money) for former soldiers of Armia Krajowa, NSZ and other Polish resistance organizations believed not to be allied with the Soviets.
Initial Activities[edit]
It was WiN that first carried the news of the falsification of the Polish people's referendum, 1946 in an announcement to the United Nations Security Council.
Members of the organization were persecuted by both the Soviets and the local communists. NKVD soldiers and Ministerstwo Bezpieczeństwa Publicznego agents carried out a bloody war with its 30,000 men in Mazowsze and Lubelskie region. WiN's soldiers liberated many Soviet jails in Poland, and killed collaborators and communist agents.
However, the organization was penetrated by Urząd Bezpieczeństwa agents, and its security compromised as early as late 1945.
In 1946 new WiN leadership decided to subordinate the organization's structures to the Polish Supreme Commander in the West. Simultaneoulsly, it limited its support for the PSL party (which, at that point, had also been infiltrated by Soviet agents). Thereafter, the organization was run by former members of the Polish Home Army.
WiN was initially divided into three different geographical operational theatres: Western run out of Poznań, Central, run out of Warsaw as well as Southern, run out of Cracow. By 1946 this was reduced to Central and Southern. In January 1947 WiN called on the PSL to boycott the Soviet sponsored elections and to await intervention by Western Allies.
Talks with the Ukrainian Underground[edit]
Despite protestations of the DSZ leadership, recognizing their common origins and similar and goals of ridding both Poland and Ukraine of Soviet and Nazi influence, WiN engaged in talks with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). By spring 1947 in the Lublin region and Podlasie WiN signed an armistice with UPA. Occasionally, WiN and UPA cooperated in destroying communist establishments (for example in a joint May 1946 attack on secret police headquarters in Hrubieszów). Similar agreements were reached in May 1945 in Ruda Różaniecka, as well as April 1945 in Siedliska.
Final Days[edit]
In April 1947, many WiN members came out of hiding to take advantage of an apparent amnesty issued by the communist authorities.[2] Instead, many were killed. Members of the organization were accused of plotting the overthrow of the People's Republic along with the Polish leaders in the West such as General Wladyslaw Anders and the CIA. The show trials for most of the leadership took place in 1947. The Communist repression apparatus under Jakub Berman and Stanislaw Radkiewicz exterminated most of the leadership and by 1953 the organization had been destroyed. Nonetheless, individual units continued to fight for Polish independence until 1963.
WiN's presidents[edit]
September 2, 1945 to November 5, 1945 colonel Jan Rzepecki
November 1945 to October 18, 1946 colonel Franciszek Niepokólczycki
October 1946 to January 5, 1947 lieutenant colonel Wincenty Kwieciński
January 1947 to November 1947 lieutenant colonel Łukasz Ciepliński

Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
The Clayton County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1, on Tuesday, to ask the Georgia General Assembly to amend state code for all counties to have more powerful county managers.
The move would allow the commissioners to create a county-manager position, a little less than two years from now, that takes over many of the duties and authorities currently assigned to the chairman of the county commission.
Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell cast the lone vote against the resolution.
The issue opens an old wound that members of the commission have already gone to court over, but Commissioner Michael Edmondson, who proposed the idea, said he just wants the most-efficient form of county government possible. Politics, he said, did not play a role in his decision to pursue this path.
"The Association County Commissioners of Georgia provides multiple models that counties can choose from," Edmondson said. "We use the strong-chairman model ... but the most professional, most-efficient model available is a county-manager model."
By approving the resolution, the commission is asking the general assembly to make a change that would have a broad impact, not just in Clayton County, but across the entire state. The commission is asking the general assembly to make changes to the power granted to county managers through Official Code of Georgia Annotated, section 36-5-22.
The change would grant county managers executive powers, on top of the administrative powers they already have, according to Clayton County Attorney Michael Smith. That takes it beyond being a piece of local legislation, and into legislation that will need broader support, he said.
"The resolution is talking about a change to a general statute, so it's applicable, as I read it, to everyone," Smith said.
This is not the first time the commissioner has ventured down the path of having an appointed official run county government, rather than the elected commission chairman. In 2008, the commission appointed former Clayton County Fire Chief Alex Cohilas as the county's chief of staff. Bell sued his fellow commissioners over that appointment, and Cohilas ended up having to be re-appointed to the chief of staff position, after a Clayton County Superior Court judge ruled it was not properly done the first time.
Cohilas retired from all his county jobs in December, and commissioners have not taken steps, since then, to hire a new chief of staff. Bell said he opposed the county-manager resolution, because "It does not matter what form of government you have, if you do not properly quantify what are the duties and responsibilities of each, you're going to have the same thing that you've already had."
At least one commission observer said he sees this as a way for a controversial figure in county government to increase his power. "If that bill goes through, mark my word, watch who they pick -- Wade Starr," said community advocate, Chuck Ware, referring to the county's fleet maintenance director, who many people claim is a behind-the-scenes player in county operations.
Ware added that he thought the move was an attack on Bell. "Anything they can do to discredit him, they'll do it, and it's time to stop that ...," he said.
Edmondson said, however, that the provisions of the resolution state that the changes the commission is seeking would not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2013, which is the day after Bell's current term of office ends. "This is, in no way, intended as any slant against the chairman or his ability to run the county," Edmondson said. He later added, "I'm proposing we can run the county better [under a county manager]."
Edmondson also said that, while he did talk to Starr about a switch to a county-manager model, before asking for the resolution, he would prefer the commission to diligently find the best candidate for the position. "I would be interested in us doing a national search to find the best candidate possible for the position," he said.
State Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam (D-Riverdale) said it would be "premature" to say how members of the Clayton County Legislative Delegation feel about the commission's request. Abdul-Salaam, the chairperson of the delegation, said no one from the county approached the delegation about the county-manager issue before the commission voted on the resolution.
"Tonight was my first time hearing about it," she said. "The delegation would, of course, meet and discuss it. I think it would have been better, if the commission had discussed it with us, and hopefully, they will."
The resolution approved by the commission this week shows a county manager in Clayton County would have 10 duties and responsibilities. Those include:
* Overseeing all of the county's departments and divisions.
* Proposing and managing the county's budget.
* Keeping commissioners advised of the county's financial condition.
* Conferring with and advising every other elected official in the county, who does not fall under the authority of the county commission.
* Supervising, and directing, the "official conduct of all appointive county officers and department heads."
* Making sure all county laws and ordinances are enforced.
* Having the right to take part in the commission's discussions, without the power to vote on any matters that come before the commission.
* Supervising the performance of all contracts for work done for the county, including overseeing the purchase of materials and supplies for the county.
* Devoting all of his, or her, time to the position, and not holding outside employment.
* Performing "such other duties as may be required of them by the governing body."

We are going to pack our lunch and snacks again because a friend is joining us at the pool. I am glad it's Friday and I hope the weekend is a relaxing one – last week's was a bit crazy with all the driving and traveling I did after taking that red-eye home. Enjoy your day and your weekend too!

I am a little disappointed this morning since the Celtics did not beat LA last night but it was a good game and I am happy I stayed up to see the end of it. Besides being a little disappointed I am also a little tired today but I made an iced latte and the sun is shining so we are getting ready to go to the pool - a perfect way to spend my Friday!

Simeone: Falcao could leave
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone concedes that star striker Radamel Falcao could be lured away from the club over the summer.
The Colombia international is among the most sought-after talents in world football after proving himself to be a prolific source of goals.
He has considerably enhanced his reputation during his time with Atletico, sparking speculation that he could soon be on his way to pastures new.
Chelsea and Manchester City are among those to have been heavily linked with big-money approaches for the South American.
Simeone appreciates that it is difficult to keep such talents out of the clutches of a rival, but is quick to point out that Atletico have always been able to find suitable replacements when forced into attacking sales in the past.
"It is complicated, but it would be fabulous if he stayed," Simeone told Spanish radio show Al Primer Toque.
"I am not his agent. I am not Falcao. Falcao has given me a lot and is a player with commitment, and I respect him a lot for that. The fans do not have to judge him after all he has given.
"[Fernando] Torres went and [Sergio] Aguero came, which was a risky bet. [Diego] Forlan went and Falcao came. If he does end up leaving, another competitive player will surely arrive."

There are a number of reasons for the low default and delinquency rates. One is that card companies cut off millions of borrowers as they had trouble making payments when the housing crisis hit and unemployment started ratcheting higher. Moody's Investor Services estimates that banks wrote off more than $70 billion in unpaid credit card debt from late 2008 through the end of last year. Consumers who defaulted on cards in the years from 2008 to 2010 have been unable to get new credit, which has helped to keep problem payment rates from rising. That may be changing. Credit reporting agency TransUnion on Tuesday said that in June through September, almost a quarter million more cards were issued to consumers with credit scores that indicate some payment problems in the past. Hibbs said it's expected that banks would start expanding their card businesses. Other indicators also point to a bit of a loosening in credit, he noted. And that could bring more people who will have trouble paying their bills back into the mix. Nevertheless, Moody's continues to expect a renewed drop in late payments in the spring, which will translate into lower defaults a few months later. The agency expects the industrywide default rate to drop below 4 percent in 2012, from about 5.3 percent now.

Thanks to everyone who posted. I feel rather foolish. Somehow I was adding the zero for the padding but missing the number. I need more sleep.

Trading Securities - The Specialist / DMM Acting As An Agent
The specialist / DMM is also required to execute orders that have been left with them. Orders that have been left with the DMM for execution are said to be "left or dropped on the book". The DMM is required to maintain a book of public orders and to execute them when market conditions permit. The types of orders that may be left with the specialist are:
- Buy and Sell limit orders
- Stop orders
- Stop Limit orders
- Both day and GTC orders
- AON orders
The DMM will execute the orders if and when they are able to and will send a commission bill to the member who left the order with them for execution. This is known as a specialist bill and is usually only a cent or two per share. The DMM is also required to quote the best market for the security to any party that asks. The best or inside market is comprised of the highest bid and lowest offer. This is made up from bids and offers contained in the DMM's book and in the trading crowd. The inside market is also the market that is displayed to broker dealers and agents on their quote system.
When quoting the inside market the DMM will add all of the shares bid for at the highest price and all of the shares offered at the lowest price to determine the size of the market. There are certain types of orders that are not included when determining the inside market they are:
- Stop orders
- All or None orders
A DMM may not accept the following types of orders:
- Market orders
- Immediately executable limit orders
- Not held orders
- Immediate or cancel orders
- Fill or kill orders
Market orders and immediately executable limit orders are filled as soon as they reach the crowd so there is nothing to leave with the specialist. In the case of a not held order, once a floor broker is given discretion as to time and price, they may not give it to another party.
A DMM's book may look something like the following example:
Buy | XYZ | Sell |
5 Goldman 10 JPM | 20 | |
20.05 | ||
20.10 |
1 Prudential 5 Fidelity |
20.15 | 2 Morgan | |
5 Merrill Stp | 20.20 |
The inside market for XYZ based on the specialist's '00 V book would be:
Bid | Ask | |
Buyers are bidding for 1500 shares and sellers are offering 600 shares of XYZ.
Note: The buy stop entered over the market by Merrill is not contained in the quote, as the order has not been elected.

BREAKING: Casper Hostage Suspect Identified
Kevin Koile, K2 Radio News
Updated: 3:30 pm
Prosecutors have charged twenty-year old Jacob Dziewic with one count of Felony Possession of a Firearm, three counts of Felonious Restraint, and one count of Aggravated Assault.
According to investigators, one of the hostages told them that herself, her boyfriend and three other people were visiting Dziewic at the hotel, the night before.
Dziewic and another person left for awhile and came back with a suitcase full of drugs and also starting showing off their guns.
The two later refused to allow anyone to leave and police arrived on scene a short time later.
Prosecutors say Dziewic was on probation at the time, on an unrelated charge.
He is being held on two-hundred thousand dollars bond awaiting trial.
One person is dead in connection to the hostage situation at a west-side Casper hotel.

adidas Intermediate Catcher's Combo Set
Great Gear..
Bought for my son who is on a travel team - lots of practice, lots of play.. The gear has held up extremely well. There are a few draw backs, the most prominent is the edges of the sturdy shoulder and tail velcro tabs tend to snag/chafe his uniform, nothing a little gorilla tape couldn't fix. This gear does tend to run big, especially in the chest protector, but resizing is very easy. The best feature - the plastic speed clips; they don't pop undone on rapid movement or turns, and no risk of catching on any other gear (or like most kids when they put the shin guards on the wrong legs, no catching on their inseam).
3 seasons (fall and spring), countless practices and even a few catching camps stressing blocking and pass ball slides..and still going strong..

Softball Equipment
This was one of the best presents given to my granddaughter. It fitted perfectly. Her father kept saying it was the best gift at my house.
December 30, 2014
Okay for the price
Equipment is okay and has served it's purpose for the price (got it really cheap in Jan). But if your child is going to be a catcher for the long haul, spend the money on good sturdy equipment like Easton, Mizuno or All Star. My son is 5'3 and 150lbs. The first purchased set we had to exchange because the helmet snaps would come apart everytime he threw the mask down. Now we have a plastic attchment piece that one of his teammates stepped on and broke it. Adidas does not have replacement pieces, so now I have to go back to Dick's to see if they will exchange the entire set after only 9 months of use.
October 9, 2014
Good choice
New to catching for 12u softball. Fits well & my daughter who is 11, is already 5'6" & 125lbs, I wasn't sure on sizing. This set really is perfect for her so far!
September 7, 2014
Did not even last a year
I have a 16 year old son who is an every day catcher for his teams. He purchased this equipment after looking at a few different brands. He likes the helmet and chest protector. The leg guards are just terrible. They did not even last one season. The buckles on the straps started popping off during the games. Not good craftsmanship for a position where the player needs to be protected. One strap popped off in the middle of a play a home plate and the guard began to slide good thing my son was not hurt. I would suggest maybe buying in pieces and got with another company for the leg guards.
August 24, 2014
Great for 8U Softball
If you are just getting a girl started in softball, this set is great! When your kids already have problems keeping their shoes tied... this set has the leg pads attach with velco that fits snug in place saving tons of time when you have some girls that are different sizes needing to make adjustments. Some of the other catchers gear we have uses metal clips that constantly needed to be adjusted for each girl and this set eliminated the problem. The problem of straps coming undone at the plate and needing to take a time out to fix it is a problem of the past! The helmet covers more of the neck that some other generic sets which is great for protection and better than a floppy neck guard bouncing around. My primary user, whom is very picky, likes the fact that the rear of the helmet snaps on so if they remove it quickly to make a play at home plate and a snap comes undone, she can fix it herself and not delay the next batter or pitch. Our team uses machine pitch with a setting of 32 MPH and we have never had a girl injured using this set other than getting hit on the arm (which isn't padded). I would highly recommend this set!
June 23, 2014
Perfect protection and affordable
This set is everything your catcher needs. Full protection mask and solid material chest protection. The price was right on.
May 13, 2014
not conducive
product seem nice but all the straps connect via plastic adapters. not conducive to this position and the situations a catcher gets in, as well as just general storage....needs metal clips not plastic ones
April 17, 2014
its for my daughter
She loves the vents in the leg guards she plays travel ball and city leauge
March 18, 2014
So far so good
Very quick to take on and off via snap in buckles. My daughter hasn't played a game with her gear yet, but it seems very durable and comfortable.

i just started a GF diet last week because i've had so many problems within the last 5 years. i was tested for celiac (endoscopy and biopsy) and it came back negative. i'm feeling SO much better on this diet....so i've concluded that i'm gluten intolerant but don't have celiac. i want to get the genetic test at some point but right now, it doesn't matter what i have. avoiding gluten has made all of my symptoms go away!! i just want to add that be careful of some of the things someone mentioned. like soy sauce...sometimes there is hidden gluten in sauces and condiments. you really have to read the labels. if you can go to a health food store like whole foods or trader joes, they tend to have "gluten free" listed on foods. if not, search online for websites that have lists of gluten free foods, and also what foods to avoid. there is a really good website, but i'm not sure of the address. i think i googled "gluten free foods" and it came up so you could check that out. good luck! |

(what's AW?) |

thedude -- i agree with starcrossdlovex. please be more sensitive to those who have been diagnosed with anorexia. it is not a cold that you can catch and have for a month then suddenly be cured of it. if you believe you may be suffering from anorexia, please get help and talk to someone about it. once you do, you can get the right kind of help you probably need. i've seen several of your posts. maybe you really are niave and are wondering, i don't know. if that's the case, please talk to your mom about seeing a counselor or a nutritionist. and trust me, there is NOTHING wrong with seeing someone. it does not mean failure. i'd think you would know that existing on fruit is not healthy. i've never had anorexia but i imagine some of your posts will be triggering to others. please be more sensitive. |

Health & Support | complex carbohydrate intolerance?? | May 29 2008 14:57 (UTC) |

thanks for all your replies... and yes, i am lactose intolerant too haha. i have eliminated dairy from my diet pretty much completely. i drink soy milk, don't eat ice cream, etc. i'm definitely a label reader and look for the hidden milk ingredients. anyway, my symptoms have been excessive gas (which is never fun!), bloating, pain, diahrrea. i used to eat like 5 bowls of cereal and/or oatmeal a day (i'd usually have it for dinner or lunch along with breakfast -- i know, not the best diet!) but ever since about 5 months ago, i've been having the worst bloating and gas. eventually i narrowed it down to the cereal and oatmeal so i haven't eaten it for a few months. my pain and bloating has gone away and the excessive gas is still there, but much less. 2 weeks ago, i decided to buy a box of cereal just to test it out (plus it was my birthday and i wanted to have my favorite dinner lol). well let me tell you...that gas came right back! so now i defintely know that cereal is a big culprit. my GI doctor did actually recommend a probiotic. i need to buy some and try that. sybil, that's interesting about the flaxseed, does that just add fiber? healthybmi -- you sound like me! i'm 25, i've been having stomach problems all my life, but they got severe enough to see a GI when i was 20. i've had LOTS of tests done, too, and they've ruled out most everything. i do have chronic inflammation of my stomach (or gastritis) and esophagitis but all of that doesn't really account for my current symptoms so who knows! has eliminating breads and pastas helped any? it sounds like we're a little opposite though, b/c i'm not usually constipated haha. have you tried taking fibercon? my doctor told me to take that even though i eat enough fiber in my food. i dunno, you could try that if you haven't already? |

i'm taking fibercon actually (my doctor recommended it) but i actually get tons of fiber anyway. i eat very healthy, lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains. and because nothing showed up on my colonoscopies, my doctors have told me i have IBS. it's sort of a catch all though. and the symptoms i'm feeling now (within the past few months), are very different than the ones i've felt in the past (for the past 5 years). so i know the difference b/w IBS and what i'm feeling now. ugh, its just very frustrating. there is something i'm intolerant to and i just can't figure it out. i might just try an elimination diet to find out. |
Fitness | Jogging and heart rate | May 29 2008 03:41 (UTC) |

yes i do believe so. i just had some tests done and the doctor was monitoring my heart rate. she was like, hmm thats weird, it's very low. do you workout a lot? and since i do workout often, she said my HR is low b/c of working out. so, to answer your question, i think you are probably getting in better shape and are able to maintain a lower resting HR. |
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.

There's a T-shirt out there, in the great universe of 100-percent-cotton shibboleths, that states, "Kiss my ass, I'm on vacation." Sadly, this sentiment seems to be directed at dermatologists, sunscreen, and any poolside Good Samaritan who has suggested, ever so kindly, that you really might want to seek shade in that cabana. Too often, even those who play by the rules the other 50 weeks of the year let their good habits fly out the sun-drenched window during those precious two weeks away. "People work hard, and they want to veg out, sit on a beach, and read, and having a tan means being on vacation," Matarasso says. (Though it is encouraging that at Winvian, a luxury resort in Connecticut, the simulated cave rents for $1,950 a night.) But take heart in knowing that "when you wear sunscreen and keep reapplying it, you'll still get some color," DeLeo says. Still, some vacationers sun-binge the last few days of break, Matarasso says, "because they get that panic like, 'I don't want to go back to Buffalo and not have people tell I was on vacation!'" He proposes a substitution that, at 24 cents, is a veritable bargain compared to the price of undoing cumulative sun damage: "You want your friends to know you were on vacation? Send a postcard."

Las Cruces To Air High School Graduations On Cable TV And The Internet
By KRWG News
Las Cruces – For the first time in the history of the Las Cruces Public Schools, the graduation ceremonies for the district's three largest high schools will be webcast over the Internet and televised on the City's cable access channel.
Las Cruces High, O ate High, and Mayfield High will hold commencement ceremonies on Saturday (May 22) at NMSU's Pan American Center at the following times: LCHS - 9:00 a.m.; OHS - 1:00 p.m.; and MHS - 5:00 p.m. All three ceremonies will be webcast and telecast, said District Communications Director Jo Galv n.
The graduations will be available on the Internet at www.lcps.tv and on CLC-TV, Comcast cable channel 20. San Andres High School's graduation is set for tomorrow (Friday, May 21) at 7:00 p.m. at the O ate High Performing Arts Center. It will not be webcast this year, she said.
"Having the large ceremonies online and on TV will let a lot more people watch from the comfort of their living rooms," Galv n said. "We also know there are many military families that will now be able to see these important events from wherever they are in the world graduations are now global."
This is the first year LCPS will use the school district's television station, LCPS-TV, the district's website, www.lcps.tv, and the City of Las Cruces access channel, CLC-TV, to webcast and telecast the event that draws thousands of parents and families to the Pan Am Center each May.
"Another benefit to this first-time effort is the hands-on experience for the students who will be helping to make the webcast and telecast possible," Galv n said. "Media students from Mayfield, O ate and San Andres will man the cameras and take a role in this live production."

RISMEDIA, August 16, 2010—Homeowners who are more active in their communities benefit from improved education opportunities and report higher levels of self-esteem and happiness when compared to renters, according to leading research. A new report from the National Association of Realtors, Social Benefits of Homeownership and Stable Housing, explores the impact of stable housing and the positive social outcomes resulting from homeownership.
"Homeownership is in investment in your future—home is where we make memories, build our lives and feel comfortable and secure," said Vicki Cox Golder, owner of a Tucson, Ariz.-based firm. "Owning a home has long-standing government support in this country because homeownership benefits individuals and families, strengthens our communities and is integral to our nation's economy."
NAR's study identifies research from government, industry and academia that identified the relationship between homeownership and stable communities. Homeowners move far less frequently than renters, and therefore are embedded into the same neighborhood and community for longer. This allows for social cohesion, ultimately resulting in social benefits and stronger communities.
"Realtors care as much about keeping families in their homes as they do about helping them find the home of their dreams," said Golder. "Social benefits do not arise solely from ownership, but also from greater housing stability and social ties associated with less frequent moves among homeowners."
Several research studies cited in the NAR report have found that homeownership has a significant impact on educational achievement. For instance, the decision by teenage students to stay in school is higher for those raised by parents who are homeowners compared to those whose parents are renters. Access to economic and educational opportunities are also more prevalent in neighborhoods with high rates of homeownership. Furthermore, studies have shown that changing schools frequently due to moving impacts a child's educational outcome negatively.
Civic participation is another social benefit resulting from homeownership and stable housing. Homeowners are proven to be more politically active and are more likely to vote in local elections compared to renters. In addition, homeowners have a higher membership in voluntary organizations.
Studies have shown that homeowners are more likely to believe that they can do things as well as anyone else, and they self-report higher ratings on their physical health. "The research shows that homeowners report higher self-esteem and happiness than renters, resulting in better overall health, both physically and psychologically," said Golder.
When it comes to property, homeowners have more invested both financially and emotionally. Property crimes affect homeowners directly, but nonviolent property crimes can impact the property values of the entire neighborhood. Therefore, homeowners are more motivated to deter crime by forming and implementing voluntary crime prevention programs. In addition, it is easier for homeowners to recognize perpetrators in stable neighborhoods because of extensive social ties. Unstable neighborhoods often display social disorganization which can lead to higher levels of crime.
Along with protecting their home and neighborhood from crime, homeowners spend more time and money maintaining their home than renters. Neighbors also influence other homeowners to improve their property, resulting in a better overall quality of the community.
"Homeownership certainly contributes to positive social outcomes, but those outcomes are truly a result of stable housing communities," said Golder. "With strong social ties and a cohesive community, homeowners can enjoy not only the long-term financial benefit of owning a home, but also a more satisfying life—which is what's really at the heart of the American Dream."
