After nearly 100% of female viewers became angry in one way or another after watching Robin Thicke's video for Blurred Lines (despite it being directed by a woman) there's now reams of fantastic parody videos to ridicule it even more than it has been already.. Good old internet. Powerful burlesque group Mod Carousel from Seattle have created their own version of the video in which the tables are satisfyingly turned, leaving the men as gormless, naked playthings under the control of the women.
Did you think we'd let you forget about this absolute stonker of a music video for Lonely Boy by the Black Keys back in late 2011? As the story goes, part-time security guard Derrick T. Tuggle was actually cast as an extra in the video alongside six or seven other actors, but once the director saw him shaking his thing he asked if he'd be happy to be the video's lead (basically only) role, and then proceeded to film the whole thing in just one take. Quite frankly, I don't know what a Monday Morning Music Video is for if not to dig gems like this one out of the treasure chest of audio-visual gold, and to make you about as happy as Derrick is as he pulls some shapes. You can go right ahead and pull some too, y'know, if you like. I might. I just did.
It was a mere fortnight ago when live on stage at our Here 2013 Symposium directors Canada treated us to a behind-the-scenes look at their latest video for French band Phoenix. So, it'd be rude of me not to make sure the video was front and centre on its arrival into the public realm. The content of the video itself is an indie masterpiece – with everything shot in camera, with film crews rushing around the set to make each cut visible to the next. To be honest, just reading this post is destroying the magic the guys had on stage, so save me the embarrassment and just watch it. Genius!
I'm a terrible ice-skater and am in awe of anyone who can even stand up on skates, let alone fling themselves around the stupidly slippery surface. Which may explain why I love this new promo for Pissed Jeans's latest single Romanticize Me so much. Not only do we have a simple little narrative, but also some mad ice skills set to a brilliantly heavy accompaniment — well done Joe Stakun.
We've all seen that Youtube video where the American guy cuts loads of bottles with a sword/other sharp things right? Well if you were hankering for more (I know I was) then Wavves are here to help you out. Surely influenced by the brilliant viral, director Brandon Dermer has set new single That's On Me to a more professionally produced version of the original concept with some stunning results (for our more squeamish/vegetarian readers, beware the last 90 seconds that get decidedly meaty).
I'd imagine director Ivan Grbovic believes in doing things well, or just not at all. His latest video for Young Galaxy is a painstakingly created slow-mo CGI romp through the end of the world, set to the band's dulcet tones. Now I'm as much of a fan of the tongue-in-cheek, lo-fi, low-budget music video as the next man, but when belters like this come along it reminds me how apt a full-on cinematic journey can be for the right piece of music. Hats tipped Ivan.
There are many reason why shows such as Roseanne, Malcolm in the Middle, Friends, and Clarissa Explains it All made such a lasting impression on many of us, and I think it's partly down to the set design. Now you're older, when you eat dinner on the sofa you feel like you could be in Roseanne's loving, nagging family. When you're furnishing your flat, you're hoping it will turn out like Monica's. When you order takeaway pizza, do you feel like you're in That 70s Show – you're American, and you're stoned? I do.
We throw superlatives around on this site like lovely word confetti but believe us when we say This. Is. INCREDIBLE. Smirnoff has teamed up with DJ Fresh for a world first which sees three disabled dance music fans create a club track using their minds. I know! Smirnoff and DJ Fresh worked with Julien Castet, one of the world's leading brainwave technology experts, who devised software which transformed the musicians emotions into brainwaves and brainwaves into soundwaves to create music.
One of the real keys to getting music video creation right is to appreciate and respect the tune you're accompanying; to add a layer of understanding, rather than distract from the musical main event. Jack Featherstone's latest animated effort (alongside Will Samuel) for Holden does exactly that, accompany the "appetite-whetting arpeggio extravaganza" with beautifully expressive and honest animated hieroglyphics that feel as though they were born with the track. Jack's behind all of the visuals for Holden's upcoming The Inheritors, so watch this space for some more where this came from.
I don't know about you, but after watching this video I was left with a million questions. Firstly, where did Jungle Collective find B-Girl Terra? Secondly, how is she better at dancing than everyone else? And how did she manage to do that entire routine in only one shot? To be honest, we don't even need these answers. Seeing this video has made us about 25 percent happier today, so all we need to do now is sit back, watch it again, and then start trying to learn her moves for when we hit the Friday dance floor later.
Going to see BUG is a music video fan's dream. Comfy seating, a big screen and two hours of the brilliant Adam Buxton selecting and chatting through some of his favourite videos, and last week's show threw up this gem. Directed by the mysterious (I can't find out much about him) Panteros666 for French band I Am Un Chien we see a super-simple idea executed with aplomb. Take some actions of wild animals, get the band members to try and impersonate them as accurately as possible, and set them up as a split screen. Voilà! Promo perfection.
"What happens when an unknown piece of matter falls through time and space?" wonders Hans Lo in his new video for Simian Mobile Disco & Bicep's recent collaboration, Sacrifice. Well, true to form it involves a pulsing, rhythmic journey through the dark vacuum of the cosmos, accompanied by neon geometric bursts and a strange clapping production line. As with most Simian Mobile Disco tracks it's best to sit back and enjoy the entire thing, letting the music – and the visuals – build to a pretty epic climax. Sweet!
It's that classic situation – you go to dispose of a body, someone sees you, you dispose of them, someone sees that and then you have to dispose of three people rather than just one! Typical. This video is brilliant. You don't get too many music videos these days that are beautifully-crafted short stories, but this one is a perfect example of just how well that formula works. Directed by John Strong who, it's worth saying, is renowned for his gruesome, boundary-pushing videos, this tale of murder mis-hap is as hilarious as it is disturbing. The fact that it's for a truly magnificent Oh Sees song is the blood-red icing on the cake. Watch to the end – you won't regret it.
We Cross The Line have already demonstrated that they're more than capable of producing engaging short documentaries but now the small team of Belgian and Italian film-makers have branched out into new territory, producing their first ever music video. Uncomfortable follows a similar recipe to their documentary work – find someone who's naturally interesting and point the camera at them – and manages to match the music incredibly well. So prepare to meet Emiliano, a Michael Jackson impersonator from Rome who honours the King of Pop on the city's streets on a daily basis, albeit with a cheeky little belly that's more akin to another King.
This week we were all talking about Tim Peake being the first UK astronaut to visit the space station out in…outer space, so in honour of his bravery we decided to make our monthly playlist SPACE themed! Not necessarily all relating to outer space, some of these songs hark back to the feeling of being in a teenage bedroom, getting out and about in the great outdoors or even just being in your trusty old house. Apart from Holly, our intern, she chose Modjo's "Lady (Hear me Tonight)" because that would be what she'd want to hear if she was flying through space on her own. Fair enough. Here it is!
Very happy to welcome Slugabed back to It's Nice That with the video for his new single Bombok, released to coincide with the launch of his new record label, Activia Benz. The word Bombok alone conjures up memories of the word bombastic and the feel of most Thai beach resorts, so it comes as no surprise that this video is nice, seizure-inducing a mixture of the two.
Who said that the only way to get your music out was through the internet? Whoever it was obviously didn't speak to Kanye West, who this weekend, 'premiered' his single New Slaves onto 66 different public buildings across the globe. Bystanders from Brooklyn to Sydney gawped at an oversized, front-on depiction of one of the most powerful men in music for the duration of his latest single – and the raw, personal effect has led to a ripple of individual anecdotes being spread internet-wide. Smart.
If you used to spend your time scrutinising the Hello Nasty album cover in your room (this is before the time when we all had work to do) or if you just thought, or still think, that The Beastie Boys are the coolest guys ever, then you'll like this. Good old Juxtapoz magazine have gone and located all the designers and artists responsible for the consistently amazing Beastie Boys artwork and have interviewed them about the process.
As far as viral videos go, this one puts iPhone recordings of people's dogs in the bath to shame. I daresay it even blows the baby sloth sanctuary out the water. Meet Chris Hadfield, he's a Canadian astronaut who splits his time between maintaining a SPACE SHIP in SPACE, tweeting, and being a singer/songwriter.
Last week London's Ghostpoet released his second record, Some Say I So I Say Light and as we've come to expect, gritty, sombre tones are present throughout. The first single from the album, Meltdown has had its promo directed by LA-based director Dave Ma – and the aptness of the video to the track is a rare treat. A snap-shot split-screen of two young relationships should, on paper, be nothing to write home about, but there's something so oddly compelling about it that it drew me in completely.
Look away now if you're easily offended 'cause Bowie's second single from his new album comes with a video that's packed full of religious iconography and seriously subverted biblical narratives. The Next Day is like the New Testament set in some dirty London pit. More importantly Bowie's persuaded Gary Oldman (arguably there greatest living British actor) to play a wayward, lecherous priest cavorting in a back-room bar full of fist-bumping cardinals and ladies of the night. Look out for Dave's ethereal ascension at the end, and don't say we didn't warn you.
Oooh we all love a good collab don't we and even better when it comes in the form of dreamy band Wild Nothing and psychedelic artist Eric Shaw. In this trippy, block colour animation taking you into a strange world that is some kind of cross between 1980s abstract paintings and the what it would look like to teleport, Eric Shaw's work totally comes to life, soundtracked by Wild Nothing's beautiful new track A Dancing Shell. To accompany this absolute corker of a music video is some album artwork that's totally flying the flag for diehard vinyl and CD buyers everywhere, which is at once comforting and genuinely exciting.
Certain people need to be told how to "say f**k you to the world once in a while" as Sol LeWitt knew, and in his 1965 letter to sculptor Eva Hesse he advised her to say just that. I don't know if Eva took his advice – this was before the punk revolution so perhaps it was a little bit lost – but MOCAtv have brought this conversation back to life in the form of this animation by Aaron Rose and Thomas McMahon.
Do you remember last year when Laura Marling released an album and it was introduced to the world via a kind of spooky, intensely atmospheric trailer? Do you remember when there was a super nice documentary about her and waistcoat brigade Mumford and Sons charging about India playing string instruments? Well even if you don't follow Laura Marling's activity like some sort of crazed buzzard, this new trailer for her next album is worth a watch.
I'm a bit confused by this music video if I'm honest. It manages to induce so many opposing emotions in such a short space of time that I'm left feeling utterly bewildered. The first emotion is nostalgia, as the Arch Duke of auto-tune trance has purchased a hook from late 90s dance outfit Alice Deejay to serve as the basis for his latest song. The second is horror; that he's added nothing to it that fits. Every new line of melody or harmony feels like it's been cobbled together from samples he just had lying around the studio (sorry, bit of a rant there, but I loved Alice Deejay).
London-based performance poet Musa Okwonga's new offering is a homily to his hometown, a celebration of the characteristics that convince him (and many others) that this is the greatest city in the world. For the accompanying video, Musa has been filmed walking through the streets of The Big Smoke as his ode unfolds, and the viewer is able to click and drag the camera angle 360 degrees to explore the city with him. This kind of technology is not new, but while often it comes across as gimmicky, here it really enhances the message, immersing us in the very city to which the poem pays such glowing tribute. As ever Musa's linguistic skills are a treat, as is his jaunty pork pie hat.
If you're London-based and the sight of your own bare flesh is enough to make you want to put sunglasses on, then this playlist is for you! That's right, the sun's out and we can stop crying ourselves to sleep every night in our beds full of dry skin and sadness. This calls for new music, so here's the It's Nice That Monthly Mixtape #3 with the apt theme of spring! A collection of songs inspired by beer gardens, roast lamb, daffodils and driving with the windows open. What are you waiting for? Click this link and crank it up to eleven!
If you're the sort of person that likes roller coasters, strobe lights, fireworks and hallucinogens, this is the video for you. It's directed by Morgan Beringer, a philosophy graduate with a penchant for the "unexplored conceptual space between still/moving image". Not only is this a simplistic game-changer of a video, it's also set to an impressive jazz punk track featuring honking, twangy music from the likes of Acoustic Ladyland, Polar Bear and Hello Skinny. More pleasing proof that you don't need a Canon EOS-1D and some part-time models to make a perfect, shareable music video.
We've seen lots of Fischli & Weiss inspired chain reactions in creative work over the last few years, so this latest one for A-Trak & Tommy Trash's Tuna Melt should be a total non-event. However, the charms of Kinetic King's (AKA Tim Fort) unbelievable patience makes this one something to write home about, demonstrating that compelling content is a brilliant way to stop the viewer's pesky skipping finger. The big final reveal had me literally laughing out loud (also, for the cynics – it turns out they really did do it.).
We've got simple tastes when it comes to music videos. If they include the most infectious guitar riff we've heard all year, flashing, disorientating imagery, a suggestive amount of bare flesh or the inexplicable appearance of an infant child we're pretty much guaranteed to be impressed. If by some fluke of music video alchemy they contain all of the above ingredients with the addition of comically placed tube socks, an old people's home and a whacking great pillow fight then heck, you may have just created our favourite music video ever! Which is exactly what New Zealand video-maker Jordan Dodson has achieved with his latest promo for Heroes For Sale. Prepare to have some (OBVIOUSLY NSFW) fun!
Just a quick warning for you; if you're in the office and your workplace is the kind of environment that abhors obscenities flashing across your computer screen then best leave this one 'til you're home. Aside from effing and blinding, this latest video from South London-via Japan outfit Pseudo Nippon and friend and collaborator Myles Painter has it all: green-screen gimp suit, mad yoyo skills, infectious drum beat and some seriously post-modern behind-the-scenes footage of the video being made. Most important of all though, it's a LOT of fun and makes us wish we'd spent a bit more time learning to yo-yo like pros during our misspent youth. I told you they weren't a waste of time, Mum.
Today's music video is a little later in the day than usual – so that we can bring you an exclusive first look at a brilliant new video from Moniker. Somewhere between music video and video game, Do Not Touch invites the viewer to use their mouse pointer to complete various tasks, from staying in a certain area of the screen, to avoiding a naked model and being the opponent for a scantily clad boxer. Beautifully simple and super effective as we've come to expect from Moniker – and I'm sure Dutch band Light Light are suitably thrilled. Get touching.
It's kind of magical when unlikely celebrities team up to be really cool together and save us all some time (there's a reason why this blog is so timelessly popular). So what happens when the illusive gods of music that are Daft Punk make a comeback with a man so famous that he is virtually untouchable? Well, I have no idea, but there's definitely a reason why the sun has finally come out in London. Read a little more about this charming teaser and how it came about over on Rolling Stone.
We're used to seeing the music video treated as a canvas for creative experiment. With clever visual tricks, left-field concepts and weird storylines par for the course now, I felt Cat Power's simple new video for Manhattan was worthy of note. Set (aptly) in Manhattan we see Cat hanging out, goofing around on the subway and singing from out of a sunroof (I'm guessing) through one of America's most recognisable landscapes without a surprise in sight. A music video for the purists, thanks Greg Hunt.
The extent of my electronic music knowledge starts and ends with knowing that MIDI is an acronym for musical instrument digital interface. That and that Squarepusher are cool. So when I see a man making digital music by scratching a selection of leaves across the dust mat of a turntable, all of my preconceived ideas about how music can be made are blown away immediately.
It's that time again, when we at It's Nice That blow your minds with our kind-of-lame lame, yet paradoxically pretty spectacular playlists. This month our theme is Journeys, which has inspired the studio to dredge 24 fantastic songs out of their memories for your listening pleasure.
Did I just dream that? For eight minutes and 15 seconds? Well it certainty felt like it. A two part track directed and edited by Gordon Hendrick and Hunter Steinman, it is the best eight minutes (and 15 seconds) I've ever spent. With no real narrative attached, you float from night time to dawn to night time again through a flow of incredibly endearing snapshots of ordinary life. The warm strokes of the synthesiser transforms into a medley of strings mirrored by psychedelic graphics, which then cleverly morphs into a man's face. Gotta love the kid who gets pulled away from being soaked – looks like he is having a whale of a time. Ordinary is beautiful. Fact.
What you may have known about Django Django is that they're a great Britsh indie rock outfit who met in Scotland. What you almost definitely didn't know if that they're obsessed with the infamous Indian Well of Death riders in Allahabad. So, the guys pitched up at Noisey HQ, cap in hand and asked if they'd help them film their latest video with this odd obsession as the backdrop. As always (being a Vice channel) the video content is the kind of stuff to make any online platform green with envy and is the perfect accompaniment for a blinding record. Good vibes all round.
Remember in childhood science classes there was that experiment where you all stood in a circle and held hands, formed a circuit and then lit a tiny LED in a ping-pong ball with the minute current that passes through your bodies? It was the one thing that completely blew my mind as a six-year-old scientist, but rather than do anything with the information I'd just been given, I forgot about it. Which is where J.Viewz and I clearly differ, because he held on to the magic of that technology and developed it into something bigger and better.
If I needed any more tempting to drop everything and jump on a flight to New York, The Museum of the Moving Image have just given me a great reason. The smart people over in Queens have been putting together Spectacle – the first ever museum exhibition to celebrate "the art and history of the music video", which opens early next month. The romp through the last 35 years of vids will showcase over 300 videos, artifacts, and interactive installations – and of course (my personal all-time favourite) Peter Gabriel's Seldgehammer for your Monday Morning pleasure.

Blissfield is a village in Lenawee County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 3,340 at the 2010 census. The village is located within Blissfield Township. The Blissfield post office first opened March 28, 1828.[6] Hervey Bliss, who was the first white settler in 1824 and for whom the town is named, was the first postmaster.[7]
During World War II, 16 German POWs, who were working on a sugar beet farm near Blissfield, were killed in an accident when their truck collided with a train as they were returning to Fort Custer. They are now buried at Fort Custer National Cemetery where they, along with ten of their comrades, remain the only members of another nation's armed forces who are buried in a US National Cemetery.
According to local legend, Blissfield was home to the first set of Triple Bridges in the world. These three bridges stood directly next to each other and crossed the River Raisin to accommodate train and vehicular travel. Throughout time, the two vehicular bridges were replaced with one. Recently though, a pedestrian bridge was erected to restore the heritage of the Triple Bridges.[citation needed]
In September–October 2014 Blissfield's village hall was moved to a former Key Bank location in the business district of the village. It is now two doors down from the Township offices. The police task force was also moved with it as well.
Blissfield High School is the home of the Royals. The baseball team has won seven state titles, while the girls volleyball team won their first state title in 2005.[citation needed]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.30 square miles (5.96 km2), of which 2.24 square miles (5.80 km2) is land and 0.06 square miles (0.16 km2) is water.[1]

The U.S. military today dropped a 15,000-pound "daisy cutter" bomb on the mouth of a cave where key al Qaeda leaders were suspected of hiding, as American forces stepped up their bombing of a mountainous region believed to be the hideout of Osama bin Laden.
It was not known exactly who was in the cave or how much damage the bomb did, but a Pentagon spokesman said the weapon — which incinerates everything within 600 yards and has been used rarely in the 2-month-old Afghan campaign — was sure to have a "negative effect" on anyone hiding nearby.
Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem said the bomb was dropped on the cave because "it was believed that that's where some substantial al Qaeda forces would be, and possibly including senior leadership."
When asked whether that senior leadership might include bin Laden himself, Stufflebeem smiled and said, "It certainly would be hopefully so."
With the surrender of the last Taliban-held province, Zabul, over the weekend, the U.S.-led coalition and the Afghan forces that had been fighting to overthrow the hard-line Islamic regime have turned much of their focus to tracking down al Qaeda forces still hiding in the country.
Particular attention has focused on the mountainous region of Tora Bora, south of Jalalabad, where there have been reports that bin Laden and senior al Qaeda members are hiding.
American bombers began hitting the region hard just after sunrise, softening the way for the Northern Alliance to try to take out the al Qaeda forces that have sought refuge in the mountains. Northern Alliance commanders said 2,500 troops were ready to take part in the assault.
One Northern Alliance commander said the bombing raids had already driven bin Laden loyalists from their hideouts.
"There is repeated day and night bombing. All of Tora Bora has been taken by our mujahideen. The enemy is on mountain tops between Tora Bora and Waziri Gorge," Hazrat Ali said.
"Osama may be there too," he added. "He was seen five days ago and an Afghan prisoner who we have confirmed it too. Osama has set up new caves and [an] underground protection system on top of these mountains. His people are putting up extremely tough resistance."
But the al Qaeda loyalists answered the assault with mortar fire and machine guns from their ridge-top positions, trying to hold off the attackers. The anti-Taliban tribesmen were using Soviet-era T-55 tanks left over from the 10-year Afghan war Moscow waged against the mujahideen.
"It's pretty intense fighting and pretty intense activity," Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke said today. "There are a lot of reports [of] a fair amount of action up there. Fighting remains fierce. ... It's tough.
"The remaining people who are continuing to fight, who are continuing to resist, are pretty hard-core," Clarke said, adding that there is no reason to believe that "this is close to the end."
Sealing Off the Exits
Pakistan has sent thousands of troops to the country's border region near Tora Bora to try to prevent bin Laden or al Qaeda troops from fleeing Afghanistan.
According to an Iranian radio report, people living in the village of Tora Bora saw and recognized bin Laden and eight of his supporters fleeing to the Nangarhar heights on the Afghan-Pakistan border.
The radio quoted Mohammad Habeel, a spokesman for the Northern Alliance, who said that after his main base in Tora Bora had been captured by anti-Taliban forces, bin Laden fled toward Pakistan.

Hey guys! How are all our heart "babies" doing? (theyre getting so old!)
Sophia is doing really great, getting big and really acting like a "normal" kid. Allllllmost walking. So close.
Whats up with your kiddos?
We just had Nolan's 3 year old wbv and he is doing great! He is in the 90%th for height and 60%th for weight. His ped (well she's a family dr. actually) was like "so much for being a cardiac kid huh?" since they typically seem to be small. I'm not sure when our next pediatric cardiologist visit is... It has been about a year so i'm assuming soon!
Here is a pic from his 3rd bday:
Julianne is doing really well too, she just had her first birthday in October, yay! and then a well check last week, she's definitely a smaller kiddo at only 17lbs she's in the 5th percentile for weight although at 30 inches in in the 75% for height (tall daddy).
she's cruising on the coffee table and speed crawling across the floor, into everything, loves music and is so super smiley and happy people ask me all the time "is she always like this?" and the truth is yeah, she's a happy kid!
we don't go see the cardiologist until January. She still needs to have a Fontan probably at some point, hopefully not for a few more years...her hands and feet turn really purple in the cold, but I don't see it affecting her energy levels just yet. It's gonna be interesting to watch this girl grow up, I was just telling my husband tonight that I still haven't really come to terms with the fact that she's here with us, I dunno how to explain, but there was so much anxiety surrounding my pregnancy and her birth, I am just now opening my mind to the idea that we have 3 kids, like sometimes I see them all together and it just blows me away. for such a long time I never thought we would make it to this point...anyway, maybe you know what I mean. she is proving everyone wrong just by living her life...go Julianne!
Nolan's big smile is so so sweet, happy 3rd birthday big guy!!
Hi Ladies!
I just found this thread. DD is 3 years old and was born prematurely (34 +5) weighing 4lbs 8oz. We stayed in the NICU for 3 weeks. She was born with choanal atresia (a membrane was blocking her nostril so she couldn't use it to breathe). A few weeks later, we heard a murmur. The pediatric cardiologist said it was an ASD and we'd wait until she was about 4 to check it out again. We just went for a visit with a new PC and he said the ASD is still there but heart function was normal (even some readings he got perfect). The size of the ASD is bordeline requiring treatment so we are going back in the summer of 2012 to have it looked at again. She also has poor muscle tone. Her speech was delayed a bit but after the surgery for the choanal atresia, it was quick to pick up. She now is working on pronounciation but is doing well with her vocabulary and sentences. Due to her muscle tone, she had delays walking and we did PT to help. She doesn't stop walking or talking now.
We are also expecting a second child in July and I talked it over with my mw and we are going for a fetal echo. I am really scared about it. DH's brother was born with transposition of the greater arteries. He is 26 now after many surgeries.
I think I am just worried after all we have been through with DD. Look forward to getting to know all the other heart mamas on MDC.
Nicole: mama to DD and DS, childbirth educator and doula. Dancing the spiral dance of life
I, too, have a heart baby. DD2 had surgery for a CoArc on her 9 month birthday. She literally was diagnosed hours before her surgery. Failure-to-thrive and mommy's persistence finally landed her at Barbara Bush after many long months of thinking she had GERD and being told that her difficulty breathing and blue coloring episodes were due to GERD. Her feeding difficulties were due to GERD and/or mama's ppd, etc. So...14 months later and she is doing beautifully. Smart, no other issues apparent. It took a full year for her to recover as her left ventricle was extremely enlarged with an ejection fraction of 17%. We go back to see the cardiologist in March.
My son has not been diagnosed with a heart issue. He did have an echo after DD2s surgery and the cardiologist spent a good amount of time because he thought he saw something, but decided that he hadn't after triple checking. DS was born with a cystic kidney and mild kidney reflux. The cystic kidney was absorbed by 18 months. He had large motor development problems and now we are dealing with spd. He gets to see the geneticist in January. DD2 tested negative for Turners and I won't push for anymore genetic testing for her unless she starts to show other problem areas or unless DSs results show an abnormality.

I would like to post some good news on this thread.
It is now 2 years (Yesterday) we found out how ill our child was, We had no idea what a CHD was, let alone the diagnosis we were about to receive.
She had Life-saving surgery march 09 and saw her cardiologist 29th November 2010.
I was dreading it, Worked myself up so so much, telling myself be prepared for bad news - I had nightly terrors of the cardiologist calling in someone to help and she died there and then!!
BUT, We had the appointment and it all went well..
He doesn't want to see her for TWO YEARS!!!
I will always spread awareness, I will always fundraise and I will never give up hoping for a long, healthy future with my special daughter.
Lots of love and hugs to other families out there with chd's ruling their lives :( xxxxxxxxxx

I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well!My ds(TOF) is doing great,I can't believe it's been over 9 years since his surgery.He's so excited for Santa to come!He came home with a backpack full of little gifts from his teachers and the students!I never got stuff like that when I was in school,lol.
We went to parent teacher conferences recently and all his teacher could say were great things about him.He's completly changed since the beginning of the year when his behavior was terrible.He's finally settled in.He's catching up to his peers and getting into big kid stuff!He's not my baby anymore.I want to cry,it went by sooooo fast.He needs to work on reading comprehension,but otherwise his school work is great.
He's so excited,his home based theraputic services worker(for his asperger's) is going to be able to take him out fo the house to do things!We're changing from HBTS to PASS(don't remember what it stands for lol) and that is part of the change.This means he's doing very well.His aggression is very limited now.I can't believe how much his behavior has improved.Much less screaming,thankfully!
His ped card said everything looks great on his last echo,but she'd like to see him lose a little weight,which we are working on.
His geneticist stll thinks everything is connected,the TOF,asperger's,and the problem where his legs hurt quite a bit when he walks for long periods.He has a microdeletion on his 2nd chromosome.I guess we'll never really know.
Happy Holidays to everyone!!
You guys make me tear up BMo5, I'm so happy for you. I did the same thing in September. It had been 11 months since DD2s surgery and we had been seeing the cardiologist every 2 months because her heart function had slowed down to no gain. He thought we would have to at least try a cardiac catheterization in October if things didn't drastically improve. Well, they did and he doesn't want to see her again for 6 months! We'll see what March brings us, but my baby is a happy bubbling 2 year old (almost) and just so beautiful, she makes my heart hurt

We're on a further 4 week wait for blood test results (22q11 DiGeorge Gene Deletion Syndrome testing) and that is churning my stomach BUT I have my daughter and I really really really, mustn't grumble!! :D :D
I set my facebook status to something I made up if you want to copy it...
Remember: As you're watching your children with joy and love on Christmas Day, there is ALWAYS a family, missing a child. Congenital Heart Defects are the BIGGEST KILLER with infants, be THANKFUL this Christmas for your children, what ever their conditions, or problems - remember that family who'd give ANYTHING to seetheir child again. Copy and Paste this into your status if you agree.

I will put that on my Facebook. I think we're going to test my son for DiGeorge in January when we see the geneticist. DD2 is doing fine since she recovered, but we have lots of issues with DS. Large and fine motor development, sensory processing disorder, one kidney, etc. Plus we have a family history. My sister died of an interrupted aortic arch 3 days after birth (some of you might remember me as Maine Mama Doula). Maybe I have DiGeorge? I know it can be pretty asymptomatic.
My son is getting the help he needs though. He had physical therapy from 9 months until 2 1/2 years and now he will be receiving occupational therapy as recommended by CDS (he's 3). I have my two oldest in the Head Start program and I am so happy for all the help and support we receive. It's sad to think that there are so many families out there without support.

I think if there is chances you have it, perhaps get tested too?
I'm really sorry to hear about your sister, bless you x
I must admit, we haven't really received any support, perhaps that's why I am dealing with her condition how I am dealing with it?
Even now, I put it to the back of my head but I have without knowing it, made a big deal about her and Christmas!
She has DOUBLE the presents the others have, I feel like such a bad mother at the moment BUT I think that's my conciousness telling me to make the most of her because I don't know when her time is up, It's still not acceptable though, I shouldn't have a ''favourite'' like I clearly have! :(
Good luck for the gene testing :) xxx

We didn't have a lot of support around the time my baby was diagnosed and rushed to emergency surgery. In fact, 2 weeks before during a one night hospital stay, the doctors were convinced that she had had a reflux episode and sent in a social worker to talk to postpartum depression mama (me) after emphasizing that her weight gain was not acceptable.
BMo5, you have support here. I'm thinking of you and all the other mother going through this. It's a bumpy road, but just keep hoping and enjoying every second of that baby. I know it's easy to put your other children on the back burner, and perhaps necessary for awhile. Now that Rayne is better, everyone is better and all my kids got to really enjoy Christmas this year =)

Hi heart mamas!
I've just read through this whole thread - great to hear from other moms who have been through something similar.
My daughter has Noonan Syndrome, as well as a microduplication on her 1st chromosome.
She has the following heart issues: ASD (repaired at 9 months through OHS), pulmonary hypertension (minor, at this point), and has in the past displayed signs of pulmonary stenosis as well as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, though her recent echos have NOT shown these. (YAY for that - fear of the latter of those has caused me to lose a lot of sleep...).
We just got out of the hospital after spending 6 days there after she came down with RSV. We were on the cardiac unit, but her doc (who I really like) told me that we were only on the cardiac unit because of her history, but that her heart currently looks great. :)
Kate's biggest issue is feeding - she's still 100% g-tube fed. She is cognitively and developmentally only very slightly behind so I'm hoping that when we do a wean after the beginning of the year, we'll get there with feeding....
Happy Holidays to everyone... :)

I just found this thread and took a quick glance through but will look more later. I've a DD who's 20 months old with an AVSD repaired when she was 5 months old. Heart wise, she's healthy now - cardi check ups are annual.
I'm curious as to how your heart kids are developmentally. DD has been lagging in her gross motor skills - she's still not walking unassisted and will only stand on her own for about 5 seconds if she doesn't know she's doing it. We're wait listed for physio. It's only bothered me in the past couple of weeks because I'm pregnant and it's getting hard to carry her.

We had amnio done, as they discovered the defect at the 18 week u/s and the geneticist scared the hell out of us when we met with her (told us DD would likely be severely disabled blah, blah, blah). We've had the PKU and other routine tests done at birth and some testing for metabolic disorders later on but everything came back normal.
She was failure-to-thrive for about the 1st year, especially before surgery. She had a NG tube for about 6 months, her feeds were very heavily fortified and for about 2 months she was on continuous feeds with a feeding pump. Currently she's hovering below the 3rd percentile but she's growing steady so her pedi is not entirely concerned about that (and neither are we).
But I also have a son, who is not a heart baby (yet), and has had problems with his large motor development for which he had 2y of physical therapy and now is showing delays in multiple areas, including sensory processing disorder, and multiple occupational skills. He's 3.5y now. CDS has recommended occupational therapy. He was slow to grow, but always managed to stay at 5% (I think because I was determined to nurse him 100X a day if that's what it took). He was born with a dysplastic multicystic kidney and mild kidney reflux (grade 2). I think my children's ailments are related and we are having genetic testing done this month. I will be asking specifically about 22q, but there are a number of genetic disorders that cause a wide array of symptoms.

Durrell describes his childhood on the Greek island of Corfu, with his interesting family. As he was often left to his own devices all day long, he spent his time prowling the island observing myriad insects and small animals, catching them when he could. He brought home a wide variety of small creatures- turtles, birds, fish, lizards and so on- continually upsetting his family when they found scorpions in the matchbox or snakes in the bathtub. Finally they realized he wasn't going to abandon his interests, and gave him a room of his own to dedicate to his nature studies and growing collection. He was also blessed to have a series of personal tutors who recognized and shared, each in their own way, his passion for nature. Aside from the descriptions of animals and his minor adventures with his dogs finding, watching and catching things, there's also plenty of hilarious stories about incidents in his family. It's a delightful book, one of the best Durrell I've read so far... The animals and descriptions of the countryside definitely stand out to me. His observations of male tortoises wrestling during the mating season and of a large preying mantis battling with a gecko on his bedroom ceiling were the best parts of the book.

I enjoyed this book very much. The family stories are really funny. The imagery in the writing is exceptional and worth the time on their own.
Childhood of famous naturalist and author: pre-WWII
My Family and Other Animals always springs to mind when I think about what my favourite books are. The story of the Durrells' sojourn on the island of Corfu, it blends laugh out loud humour with animals small and large observed by the keen eye of young Gerry, ever the naturalist. The people with whom Durrell populates this book are wonderful and larger-than-life, especially Theo, Gerry's tutor, and Spiro, the Greek who falls in love with the family, and whose English is hilariously awful. One of the best books ever, I cannot recommend it too highly.
Usually when I read or watch television, I don't tend to laugh out loud, even if I find something humorous. There are the exceptions that make me chuckle once, but never again, like Friends or Bossypants. Not that these aren't funny, but I don't need to verbally express my appreciation of the jokes I've seen, heard, read before.
And then there are the rare works that get me EVERY time, like Seinfeld and My Family and Other Animals. Try as I might, I cannot stop laughing.
Oh boy, do I love this book. I love it to pieces. Idyllic, witty, visual, quirky, and, of course, hilarious, Gerald Durrell's memoir of his family's time on Corfu will put a smile on my face whenever I open it. It won't matter if I am 22 or 102; I will laugh, I will guffaw, I will snort, I will hoot with mirth and happiness.
And for that, this incredible little book has my eternal devotion and respect.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0142004413, Paperback)As a self-described "champion of small uglies," English writer Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) devoted his life to writing and the preservation of wildlife, from the Mauritius pink pigeon to the Rodriques fruit bat. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the Greek island of Corfu, but ended up as a delightful account of his family's experiences that were, according to him, "rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas."
As a 10-year-old boy, Gerry left England for Corfu with "all those items that I thought necessary to relieve the tedium of a long journey: four books on natural history, a butterfly net, a dog, and a jam-jar full of caterpillars all in imminent danger of turning into chrysalids." Durrell's descriptions of his family and its many eccentric hangers-on (he stresses that "all the anecdotes about the island and the islanders are absolutely true") are highly entertaining, as is the procession of toads, scorpions, geckos, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, the puppies Widdle and Puke, and the Magenpies. This is a lovely book.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:22 -0400)
A memoir of an English boy growing up on the Greek island of Corfu recounts the author's humorous adventures as he collects all kinds of animals and insects and brings them back to the house, much to his family's dismay.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) July 18, 2013
"A blog can be an incredible tool for sharing information and expertise. A well-done blog does two important things for a business website: it makes it easy to add and update content, so there's always something fresh on the site; it helps establish a relationship with visitors and build a climate of trust," expresses Best Image Optical Marketing Director, Doralice Rodriguez.
Eyewear and eye care professionals are up against an extremely competitive environment. The ability to gain and reach a much needed market share has changed through the years. With the advent of "big box" retailers that will literally give products away for foot traffic, how and what is the best method an ECP can use to survive and thrive? The answer is simple: Become an expert beyond the product.
The internet has afforded companies many opportunities, certainly product and product sales are one method. However, it is the ability to have one's voice heard which may be the most significant. Consumers do not make health decisions and purchases just based on price. People make these decisions based on expertise and information. So as an eye care professional one must have the ability to differentiate themselves from everyone else. And Best Image Optical believes one of the ways to do so is by starting and writing a blog. They are encouraging the ECP to use this year's economic growth as stimulus to build their brand and they are more than willing to extend a hand to help.
There is no need to have tech fright. Starting and writing a blog for eye care professionals is really quite easy. Websites such as Wordpress can help an ECP start one for free. They offer simple solutions in setting up and picking a domain name for a blog. The technical set-up process will take less than 10 minutes, but the results will bring business

text: The Anubis wiki last edited by Exile-616 on 05/25/15 06:58AM View full history Anubis was the Lord of the necropolis, the cities of the dead, who were consistently on the west shore of the Nile According to Egyptian beliefs, was in charge of guiding the spirits of the dead to the "other world", the Duat. Guarding the guardian of the balance in the Judgment of Osiris.IconographyAnubis was depicted as a canine-headed man, or as an Egyptian black dog (or jackal), the color of the putrefaction of bodies, and fertile land, a symbol of resurrection. Occasionally appears as a canid accompanying Isis. The association with the jackal is probably due to their habit of digging up the corpses from the graves to feed. Anubis was depicted with black fur, although the jackals in ancient Egypt had a reddish coat, because this color symbolized resurrection and fertility, the color of the silt brought by the Nile each year, renewing fertility fields.MythologyAnubis was the ancient god of the Duat. Anubis was associated not only with death, resurrection also after it, and was painted in black, the color representing fertility.When Osiris came to power in the world of the dead, the Duat, Anubis took a secondary role, limited to embalm the bodies of the pharaohs, guide them to the cemetery and take care with his life. The priests wore masks of Anubis figure in ritual ceremony embalming of Pharaoh. Anubis was also responsible for monitoring, with Horus, the balance to be weighed in the hearts of the dead during the Judgment of Osiris.The first religious texts not assigned parents, although in the Pyramid Texts is Qebehut daughter, the goddess who purified the deceased. In the Coffin Texts,Hesat or Bastet, was his mother. In other texts was the son of Ihet, also of Ra and Nephthys, Seth and Nephthys, Sekhmet, Isis and Osiris (in Memphis), or Sopedu.Plutarch wrote that Anubis was the son of Osiris and Nephthys. Osiris, knocked up Nephthys, sister of Isis, instead of his wife. Because of Isis Nephthys disguised as other texts. Thus begat Nephthys Anubis.Anubis is also considered the illegitimate son of Seth, Nephthys begotten. Seth decides to kill him after learning of his birth, but Nephthys deliver the child to Isis, the sister and wife of Osiris, who protects and breeding him. When Seth kills Osiris, Anubis helps Isis to resurrect the god . For this reason Anubis was in charge of embalming the Pharaohs, and guide them to the cemetery.EpithetsHe received the epithets and titles of "Lord of the Necropolis", "Lord of the West", "Lord of the Sacred Land", "Lord of the Sacred Country", "Lord of Rosetau", "He who is upon his mountain" , "Lord of the caves", "the God who presides over the shop", "the one in the embalming chamber", "Lord of the embalmers", "the one on the bands", "He who has the hearts "," The Lord of Nubia "

It's dumping out. It's also nose-hair-freezingly cold. Instead of trying to stuff seven inefficient layers under a waterproof tarp-shell, slip into the Bonfire Women's Astro Down Jacket. The 15K-rated shell blocks wetness while the fluffy down insulates.
- 550-Fill down keeps your torso and arms cozy
- Mesh-backed underarm zip vents mean you can get your temperature exactly where you like it and keep it there
- Hook-and-loop cuff adjustments and a powder skirt make sure snow can't sneak in

Great for storms and bluebird days
I have rocked this jacket 5 days now, I ride Whistler. Now we get alot of storms, but weather is very unpredictable. I find this jacket to be the best of any I have had! It's got good waterproof-ability, doesn't sweat, is warm without being heavy, and I get compliments on the fit (I have the classic Blue, red, black). I would buy it again in a heartbeat....
Great coat
This coat is awesome. It's stylish, warm, and functional. Perhaps a bit too warm for riding in sunny Tahoe, but great when it's really cold up there. I don't need many layers underneath. I initially bought a medium but it was too large and I found a small in a local store. I'm 5'3", typically wear size 6 pants, 34D bust. The small fits perfectly with enough room to layer. I wish the powder skirt was a little bit lower, but it works just fine. I've already seen a couple people on the mountain with this coat, but it won't be going out of style anytime soon. I also like how the zippers zip-down to close, all the little pockets for storing stuff, and the goggle bag--all icing on top of the cake.
