moon cakes on buford highway
does anyone know what happened to the bakery inside Ranch 99 on Buford Hwy? Ranch 99 supposedly closed for renovations. does anyone have an alternate source for mooncakes?
Yes... there is a bakery inside a Farmer's Market near Jimmy Carter (Exit 99 I believe). They sell all kinds of moon cakes that are tasty. Try the pineapple one that is my favorite. Also, you can purchase boxed sets from various manufacturers on Buford Highway near the large korean farmer's market. http://www.yelp.com/biz/buford-highwa...

Urbanization is one of the world's mega-trends, so it is surprising that the majority of the world's 557,000 Mayors do not share their challenges with the world. That is why we created the Living Labs Global Award that in its current edition (submission deadline 17th of February 2012) has brought together 21 leading global cities, among them San Francisco, Rome, Glasgow, Hamburg, Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, Fukuoka and Mexico City to call for solutions that could significantly improve their citizens' lives.
This is an original contribution to the on-going global dialogue on smart cities. This dialogue typically categorizes issues through a technology or product perspective led by dominant market players, rather than by specific problem areas for cities in which major break-throughs could be achieved.
So what is it that cities want? We can see a number of thematic clusters emerging around the areas of mobility and tourism, accessibility, open government and data, prevention of lifestyle disease, smart urban services, smart affordable housing and energy. What is revealing is the way in which cities have framed these questions, which often imply not just a technological solution but a rethinking of an entire service model.
Take the example of San Francisco's call to integrate the wireless control of urban systems. This could be considered a simple technology challenge were it not a call to inspire the future of public space. The city not only will integrate sensors, wireless networks, smart lighting and services but also address the big question of how all this data will be integrated and governed. With public space being such a central issue to our urban lives, both as an environmental and civic resource, and with technology evolving so rapidly, this is in fact an amazing challenge to put forward.
Most of the participating cities are not just calling for technical help, but solutions that can harness technology to revolutionise our experience of cities and create entirely new ways of participation. Rio de Janeiro calls for a Knowledge Square, an immersive urban experience of the internet and the knowledge it represents for the 60% of its citizens that are left behind the digital divide.
Cities are not light-hearted about putting forward these challenges. They are selected from more than 250 candidates and follow a careful consideration linked to the objective of the Award programme: to implement a pilot of the winning solution in each city. Winners receive no cash prize, but the full institutional commitment of a city to support a limited deployment of the solution and publish an evaluation of the results. This not only allows citizens and other stakeholders to experience the future almost immediately, but provides a smart way of changing the expectations in later procurement and regulatory actions.
Cities and local governments spend an annual 3,5 trillion Euros ($4,6 trillion) and the share of technology rises steadily. Yet, as most actors in the market agree, decisions are often taking without sufficient market intelligence and fear of innovative solutions. The Living Labs Global Award demonstrates successfully how these limitations can be overcome by implementing a more structured approach to collecting market intelligence and evaluating technologies through pilots before undertaking major investments.
The Climate Group, Metropolis and Oracle share our vision of a more agile marketplace for cities, in which intelligent decision-making becomes a central piece in building our future cities. They have been joined by more than 400 companies from 34 countries that have already submitted their solutions.
Our past editions have generated impressive results: Companies report that winning the Award and implementing a subsequent pilot has accelerated their sales cycle from an average of 36 months to just 6-9 months, leading to quicker diffusion of their technologies and cost savings that more than make up for the effort of implementing a pilot.
This is how an intelligent market for smart cities should work.
To submit to the Living Labs Global Award 2012, enter your solution before 17th of February 2012 to www.llga.org/submission.php.
Cities can apply to the selection process for the 2013 edition by contacting us at email@example.com.

Below is the poem entitled How John Mayer helped end and save my marriage which was written by poet

Angel Fire
How John Mayer helped end and save my marriage.. S.Hudson
Our love can be summed up in a playlist of John Mayer songs,
A myriad of one liners and chorus' overlaying the template of life,
Our "heart break warfare" led to a horrible affair,
She and another took solace in a shared love for John Mayer,
They dreamed together with "Half of my heart" playing in the distance,
"Showing me another way" ,
But a dream is all it could be, and a dream is all it was,
The "Gravity" of the situation realized,
And a husband missing all of his heart.
Two worlds pulling at the hem,
"Pain throws your heart to the ground, Love turns the whole thing around,"
It is said, we have lived together through both my wife,
And I don't know, "If I trust myself with loving you",
But, "I'm not the man I used to be lately"
And here we are now,
Trying to recapture this "Home life" John muses of.
"I'd love to walk where we both can talk", I'd love to give you my all,
"Oh it's taking so long, I could be wrong, I could be ready, Oh but if I take my hearts advice,
I should assume it's still unsteady, I am in repair, I am in repair,"
For know we stand with our heart in the others hand, fragile, unsteady, unsure,
But oh so willing.
All I know Rhonda is, "There ain't no sunshine when she's gone"
"My girl she ain't the one that I saw comin," I "love who ya love, who ya love"
That's YOU!
I thank you John Mayer for giving us the words and the playlists for
This roller coaster of emotion, heartbreak, passion, romance and desire,
That has been our Story line.
Keep em coming, because we still have a lifetime of Romancing and store walks ahead…

Quinn eliminates salaries for lawmakers
On Illinois' $100-billion unfunded pension liability, Quinn has been setting deadlines for more than a year. Until now, there haven't been any direct consequences for lawmakers when they've blown each of those deadlines. Quinn changed that in a big way.
"The legislators should not get paid until they enact comprehensive public pension reform."
Many legislators have made pensions a priority, but they're divided over just how to solve the problem. A small group of key senators and representatives have been negotiating a compromise this summer. They say it takes time to get their ideas analyzed to figure out just how much money could be saved, and that it would be irresponsible to vote on a fix without first doing the math. Quinn, however, says that's just an "excuse."
"They must have that alarm bell ringing in their ears. And the best way to do that is to hit them in the wallet."
Lawmakers aren't scheduled to get paychecks until later this month. They could reconvene in Springfield at any time and vote to restore their pay.

The Faculty of Science and Technology is very well represented in Lancaster University's 2007 Staff Prizes, with the following prizes going to faculty members:
Dean of Faculty Mary Smyth writes:
"This has been a truly outstanding year for the Faculty of Science and Technology in the list of university prizes. To win prizes for commercialisation, media & communication, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and research, with multiples in several categories, indicates just how strong and how varied activity is in this faculty.
"It is a delight to be able to congratulate these faculty members on their success in the prize list, and on the sustained excellence which underlies that success."
The faculty's PhD Studentships for students commencing their studies in 2007 have now been awarded. The list of successful applicants is as follows:
Applications for the next round of studentships, which cover Home/EU level fees plus a maintenance grant, will be invited from early 2008.
Work is underway in setting up the project steering group, which will agree the scope of the project, oversee its implementation and provide strategic direction as the project progresses. The intention is to hold the inaugural meeting of the group within the next two to three weeks.
In the meantime work continues on the development of documentation and processes to support the project and information about activity within the project will be communicated shortly.
SciTech Vision Project Manager Tony Oliver is based in the Faculty Office and can be contacted by telephone on ext 94150 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Dean will be away from the Faculty Office from the 8-25 June inclusive.

County to discuss road improvements
In a rare move, the Rutherford County Commission will split their regular meeting into two parts.
Commissioners will hold their regular session at 1 p.m. and two public hearings at 6 p.m.
"The change is made to accommodate one of the commissioners addressing health issues the next morning," said Carl Classen, Rutherford County manager.
Commissioner Eddie Holland will be undergoing chemotherapy treatments Tuesday morning.
One of the public hearings will include commissioners receiving a preliminary report from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) regarding secondary road improvement projects for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The largest project on the list is improving Oak Street in Forest City from U.S. 74A to Piney Ridge Road. The plan calls for widening Oak Street to three lanes over the distance.
"It is meant to improve the traffic flow as well as sidewalk and other safety issues due to commercial traffic," Classen said.
Part of the project — the largest — comes with a price tag of $525,000 and the second part is estimated to cost $175,000.
"This is a project that has been a long time in developing," Classen said.
At this point, Classen said there is no opposition to the project.
"We don't know who is going to speak on the project," Classen said. "We know the Town of Forest City is in favor of the Oak Street project but we don't know if they will come to speak on the project."
Another project on the list includes improving Painter Road from State Road 2105 to the South Carolina line. DOT is also considering making improvements to Oscar Justice Road from U.S. 64 to SR 1520 and Airport Road from SR 1523 to the end of maintenance.
The list includes rural road improvement such as Aydlotte Road to SR 1526, Mike's Mountain Road to SR 1321 and Rabbit Moffitt Road from SR 1102 to the state line. Rural paved road improvements include Long Branch from U.S. 221 to SR 1004, Duncans Creek and Countryside Lane.
"Those could be done in the future," Classen said.
Commissioners will receive a list of roads that can be improved but, due to the inability of NCDOT to secure right-of-way, those roads cannot be improved. The list includes 27 miles of county roadway that is eligible but cannot be completed.
The second public hearing will discuss renaming the dead-end portion of Hicks Grove Road to South River Road.
During its regular meeting at 1 p.m., the Commission will discuss naming a section of U.S. 74 "The Senator Debby A. Clary Highway."
Commissioners will discuss a mutual aid agreement with Henderson County, Grey Rock Project 9 bids, the Hollis community water line, a request for proposal for enhanced recycling and the tax office improvement project.

Oy! Gluten-Free and Vegetarian for 10 Days. Help!
My in-laws are coming to visit for 10 days and my FIL is gluten-free (he's not celiac, just gluten intolerant). I'm vegetarian. I do NOT have special GF ingredients in my pantry, and I'm not going to stock up on those wallet-busters for just 10 days out of the year.
I'm trying to compile a list of easy, inexpensive foods I can make to please everyone. So far I've got oatmeal, smoothies, salads, tacos with vegetarian filling, stir-fries over rice or rice noodles, egg dishes like omelettes and frittatas, mashed potatoes, and some vegetarian soups. Any other ideas? Or really great recipes?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Describing a menu in terms of "seasonal" and "market-driven" might be old news but chef Marc Meyer really makes the most of the greenmarket, and showcases it in a cozy, convivial dining room. Expect plump chilled oysters, exemplary Caesar salad, and splendid house-made pasta, followed by the likes of pan-seared day-boat halibut with cucumber gazpacho and chopped tomato salsa, and grilled baby lamb chops with rosemary potatoes, mint-yogurt sauce, and black-olive-stuffed tomato. Weekend brunch is one of the best in the city, and prices are quite friendly. Weekday lunch is served, too, usually without the wait that hungry stomachs have come to expect at other times.

WASHINGTON - The head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced that federal aid has been made available to supplement state and local response efforts in the area struck by record snow and near record snow during February 5-6, 2008.
FEMA Administrator David Paulison said the President's action makes federal funding available to the state and eligible local governments in Dane, Dodge, Green, Jefferson, Milwaukee, Rock, Walworth, and Washington counties.
Paulison said that FEMA has been specifically authorized to provide assistance to state and eligible local governments on a cost-sharing basis for emergency protective measures that were undertaken to save lives and protect public health, safety and property over a continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the incident period.
Paulison named Edward Smith as the federal coordinating officer for federal recovery operations in the affected area.

For those not familiar with a short shift kit, the principle of operation is easy - its called leverage. The net effect of all short shift kits is that you lengthen the bottom, shorten the top, and this changed leverage makes shifting a short "click."
An added benefit to the BD kit: it seems to angle the shifter to the left and back towards the driver for easier positioning.

Chris Griffith: Real estate agents sell their real estate for free?
Most consumers only buy and sell real estate as a necessity. Often times there are great periods of time between transactions so there isn't exactly common familiarity with the procedures and protocols of how things work. Revise that: how things work down here. Odds are, the last transaction was elsewhere, in another state with different customs.
Naturally, part of the education process for buying or selling real estate is reviewing estimated closing fees. Of course, that final price for real estate isn't the bottom line. There are additional fees charged to process real estate transactions; recording fees, taxes, title insurance, estoppels.
Maybe it's because so much time goes between transactions that consumers are overwhelmed and feel out of sorts. That estimated settlement statement shows up with literally hundreds of lines of figures and fees. Eyes go glassy and sometimes you can almost hear the sound of static in the background.
"Yeah, but you get to buy and sell your real estate for free." Every once in a while someone shares that fallacy when we're going over the paperwork. I heard it again, weeks ago, and could only think to myself; I just sold real estate and it sure wasn't "for free." Being in "the business" didn't provide me the fabled insider discount.
The fees and expenses on the settlement statement were not much different than what would be on your settlement statement if you were closing on a home today.
Regardless of how charming or convincing anyone could possibly be, the fact of the matter is that most of the fees on the settlement statement are actually non-negotiable.
Of course the real conversation lies with the alleged free real estate commissions. Rest assured, real estate agents who sell their own real estate also pay those. Certainly, if we're listing our own real estate we may have the discretion of adjusting our portion of a listing fee, but we still invest the hours and advertising no different from any other listed property. It's not a whole bunch different than a pool contractor getting supplies at cost. He still has to pay the labor (the co-broke agent) to get it installed.
The state of Florida offers its residents the gift of no state income tax but it does collect fees on real estate. Documentary stamps on a deed is just a fancy way of saying we're taxing you on your real estate sale. Seventy cents for every one hundred dollars of that sale price and there just is no way around it.
The same goes for clerk of court recording fees, attorney fees and title insurance fees — everyone gets to pay them. When it absolutely, positively has to be there over night … shipping isn't free, either.
Real estate agents selling their own real estate also get to contribute to buyers closing costs if that's what it takes to get something sold and they also have to adjust the sale price when the property doesn't appraise. Trust me, I just did it. There was no insider way around it or a way to discount any of that.
Buying real estate comes with a nearly matched set of fees and expenses, even more if there is a mortgage involved.
It doesn't matter how long anyone is in the real estate business or who they know, they still get to pay the piper when they buy or sell real estate because nothing in life is certain except death and taxes … and the closing fees on real estate transactions.

I am new here, and would like some advice and some thoughts.
I have a 3 month old baby who began to nurse funny at 5 weeks and then began to refuse altogether. He would only nurse when asleep. I went to doctors, lactation consultants, nurse practitioners, etc... all would say there is nothing wrong with him he will come around. Well for 38 days and still counting the boy will only nurse when he is asleep, meaning at night as he never sleeps during the day and never has even as a newborn. All baby books never made sense: babies cannot stay awake for long periods of time, here I had a 3 day old baby who is up daily for 10-11 hours in a row, not fussing not crying, just alert and interacting. Anyway, last week the feeding did not go well at all he did not nurse, so was dehydrated in 2 days. We went to the hospital and were admitted. We remained there for 7 days under observation, then they discharge us with the diagnosis: the baby is profoundly gifted, eating and sleeping are a waste of time for him, you have to figure it out, keep trying and good luck, bring him back if he gets dehydrated or continues to lose weight.
Now I know he is advanced based on developmental milestones, but is it not too early to make such a call? And if he is gifted, and eating will remain a struggle does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Sorry for the long thread but if it helps here is what he can do so far:
3 weeks social smiles, responds, initiates
5 weeks makes a razzing sound
6 weeks squeals in delight
7 weeks reaches for objects
8 weeks saying agooh and apa - turns towards sounds, follows conversations
9 weeks brings hands together
10 weeks laughs out loud
11 weeks mouthing objects babbling non-stop around the clock, pulls legs up by the pants so he can reach his toes, rolling over
12 weeks turns board book pages
13 weeks, pulls self to sitting from semi reclining, he cannot maintain it though
Thank you
I can't imagine a hospital giving a medical diagnosis for refusing to eat as "profoundly gifted", and I doubt that the doctors you saw would be qualified to make such a diagnosis.
Was this a children's hospital?
Absolutely ridiculous.
Dehydration means the kid is profoundly gifted? Oh my.
Please seek another opinion. It's negligent on their part to release you with no practical plans to get nutrition into your child.
Mom to a teenager and a middle schooler.
I believe babies can be gifted since I was one. I sat independently (for short periods) at 6 weeks, talked at 3 months, used complex sentences before 1, etc. I also almost never slept as an infant (my poor mother! I hope the one I am carrying is not like me!) and was quietly alert and interacting for hours a day.
With that being said, I ate. I was nursed on demand and I ate fine. I did refuse rice cereal at 4 months, so my mom didn't offer anything else till 6 months, and I then refused purees and went straight to very overcooked homemade food. But I never refused to nurse, and was never dehydrated. So the two don't have to be related, and its not an answer to say baby is profoundly gifted. I am sure you knew that though.
I hope you get answers that are actually helpful.
That was incredibly irresponsible of them. I can't believe they didn't send you home with better resources for an infant who is dehydrated and loosing weight. Doesn't that constitute "failure to thrive?" That's a big red flag in our area. As to giftedness, maybe, maybe not. "Knowing" really isn't going to help you.
I'd start experimenting with him... maybe try expressing milk into a bottle or sippy cup and try that way. Even spoon feeding him milk might be a benefit if he's refusing the breast. I would continue to try traditional nursing (not sure how you are handling it all day without nursing ouch!) Make sure your nursing session are in quiet distraction free areas. Continue to offer at regular intervals and if he doesn't take it, use it as quiet, cuddle time. Keep looking for help and second opinions.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
The thing is he gets over the dehydration as eventually he does fall asleep and he does nurse but only when sleeping. I know the two don't have to be related but evidently they see the refusal to eat in older children. No medical reason was found. No they did not give me plans to feed. I had been doing what I have been doing for a whole month, offer to nurse, if he refuses, try again, never letting it exceed four hours then offer cup, or syringe or spoon feed, etc... he refuses the bottle as well. yup this was a team of pediatricians. he is not failing to thrive as his weight is fine he is in the 85th percentile. but he no longer is gaining well, and on days where he refuses anything and everything he will lose 20-30 g. Other than the not eating he is perfectly happy, he plays vigorously and he never cries so to the peds "he is not sick, keep trying to feed him, and take it day by day". So yeah, i am waiting for another specialist to see us as the feedings continue to be a battle.
Honestly, I agree with getting another opinion. I think that doctor was a quack. At least as far as that diagnosis. Too gifted to eat? Really?
oh, you are GOOD! This is impressive. Too gifted to eat. brilliant.
It's impossible to assess intellectual functioning in an infant (nor is that kind of assessment something that doctors do), and giftedness is not associated with feeding problems. That sounds like a heck of a nursing strike.
Who did you see during the week you were in hospital? Did they bring in a lactation consultant, an OT or anyone else to assess his sucking and swallowing? What kind of observation was the baby under? Did they just keep a feeding log or did anyone attempt to do any kind of behavioral analysis? Seven days is a really long hospitalization to end without diagnosis and treatment. I feel silly asking this because you were in the hospital for 7 days and surely someone thought of it, but how's his tongue thrust? Is there any chance he has thrush or some other infection that might be making nursing painful? Not that I'm really dying to know, but how are his diapers looking? There could be some hints there. Have you tried the classic "get in bed and go skin-to-skin with baby for a long stretch" thing to get him nursing?
I'd love to know what the hospital billing code is for "profoundly gifted - doesn't eat." And while that's just about my curiosity, "starving gifted baby" is not a medical diagnosis and it might be useful and instructive to know what they billed your insurance company for to justify such an extended hospital stay. I hope you keep demanding answers - food and sleep are vital to infant development as well as being basic survival needs for, you know, all human beings.
The thing is he gets over the dehydration as eventually he does fall asleep and he does nurse but only when sleeping. I know the two don't have to be related but evidently they see the refusal to eat in older children. No medical reason was found. No they did not give me plans to feed.

So yeah, i am waiting for another specialist to see us as the feedings continue to be a battle.
I agree with another post to go see an occupational therapist. They can have different insights than pediatricians including different sorts of oral and sensory issues that would not seem to be a problem from a medical stand point.
"They see the refusal to eat in older children"... are they saying they see a pattern of older gifted children refusing to eat? I wouldn't put much stock in their diagnosis.
Married mom of two, DD 17 and DS 14.
I'm sorry, but a 20-30 g drop in weight one day to the next is not dehydration, nor is it failure to gain. That's a couple of tablespoons of water, less than 0.5% of body weight. I'm not surprised they weren't particularly concerned. Is it possible that they saw a healthy, thriving baby with weight fluctuations well within the limits of normal, who happens to be exceptionally alert, showing advanced intellectual ability, and who feeds adequately but not when or how his mother expects ... and they were just trying to reassure you about all that?
Mountain mama to two great kids and two great grown-ups
I remember reading a somewhat similar story on another gifted board: a mother said all her (later identified) children (I think she had four) refused to nurse at some point (I think it was a little later in their lives though, but under a year) because they couldn't look round while doing so. As soon as she started giving them a bottle and they could keep looking and interacting all was fine again. Sorry for not being able to be more specific, it was a while ago but it stuck in my mind, because it sounded like such an unusual story. And while I agree I wouldn't trust a hospital that made that kind of diagnosis at 13 weeks (I reiterate what other posters have said: have other reasons for refusal to nurse and failure to thrive been positively ruled out?) I'm with moominmama: if other reasons have been ruled out (what did they do all week?) and if he is gaining more or less on a curve maybe it is now up to you to figure out how to feed your clearly unusual but delightful baby. After all, other kids sleep for 11 hours through the night at that age and then only nurse every three hours during the day. I think as long as you get about five proper feeds into him you should be okay. How long you will be okay with feeding through the night is another question. I hope you co-sleep and you have been taught how to nurse lying on your side and dozing off while doing so. And have you tried nursing him in the darkened bedroom?
You say he refuses the bottle, but it wasn't quite clear from your post whether he refuses the syringe, the cup and the spoon as well or maybe only some of the time? Does he refuse tea and water, too? While 13 weeks old is young for solids, that's what I would try next - after all he is reaching for things, trying to sit up, babbling early too... maybe try a little pureed banana or pear, pureed carrots, rice cereal, mild apple juice, whatever you'd normally have tried out at 6 or 7 months or so. He might be interested in the novelty, and at a pinch, you can show him picture books while spoonfeeding (no I do not think one should teach a child reading books at the table but I have an unusual underweight eater too, and sometimes you just do whatever works to get food into them). If he can swallow purees well, rice waffles to munch on next, though I am not sure about the choking risk at such a young age. Maybe some more knowledgeable mama can weigh in on that.
Good luck! I hope you can find a workable solution.
edited to add that I kinda get the "too gifted to eat" thing in older children: for years now, it has been very hard to feed DS because, among other reasons (too hyper to sit still long enough) he will refuse to put another bite in his mouth because he reallyreally needs to finish discussing right now whether it makes sense to use negative numbers in respect to counting candy or how many zeros to a nonillion or whatever - we have screaming fights about it: "I do not want to hear another word from you until you have put that bite in your mouth like RIGHT NOW!". It is just a totally different situation to slap that "diagnosis" on a three-months-old though.
MeDH DS1 10/06 DD 08/10 DS2 10/12with SB and
I don't know if your baby not eating means they are gifted or not, at this stage that's not the important thing. Getting them to feed is.
I know the baby food age has changed to 6 months, it used to be 4 months. When I have my daughter it was on the change over from 4-6 months. My daughter was very hungry and I had to put her on baby rice at 3 1/2 months. you have to make it very thin... maybe talk to your health visitor about that as an option. I wouldn't do it without talking to someone first. Not to the person who you saw at the hospital though, I don't think just sending you home was very professional at all.
I hope your baby starts to feed better soon. x
So here is the thing: he doesn't take the bottle but will play with it. The syringe, spoon and cup he will accept as he can look around, it takes forever and he thinks we are playing. It is exactly as tigerle said; he won't eat during the day because he cannot look around, so yes i do go in a dark room, and as i have no other children my house is perfectly quiet and i will rock and rock until he is drifting off to lala land and then nurse, sometimes it does not work and we do only night time feedings. So if there is not absolute peace he does not nurse. The diagnosis was made by 5 of them, they came to this consensus. They feel that once he can concentrate enough on doing both eating and taking in the surrounding things will improve. I did see all the other professionals mentioned: he has no thrush, no tongue or lip tie, no swallowing issues, no reflux, no neck pain preventing him from nursing. I did not like the diagnosis either, it has been a month I am going from one doctor to another to get some answers in addition to lactation consultants and all of them say, "well obviously you are getting something into him, he is doing really well", what they are not getting is that the only reason he is doing well is because i am very persistent on getting something into him, i keep trying any means necessary because i am not going to wait till he is ill to get answers. He obviously is not eating like I expect him to, recently he has been having one good feed at 0630 then goes drinkless till 1900 and then he sleeps and wakes up every 2 hours from midnight on to nurse. He didn't do this as a newborn but now he is waking up every 2 hours. We are cosleeping because if not, i am sleepwalking. We nurse well lying down which means i do not disturb him too much and he nurses happily, but if he does rouse fully he starts babbling and won;t nurse. We tried all the skin-to-skin, warm bath, cuddles stuff and still do so it is great but he won;t nurse unless he is sleeping, it is dark and silent. As for figuring out how to feed my "unusual but delightful baby" that is basically what they are saying. I am considering spolids, i have been sitting him ina high chair at the table since we got ischarged and giving him expressed milk on a spoon during our meals just to get him prepared for the feeding business. (he does refuse tea nad water as well, i tried all that thinking maybe the boy just doesn't like milk) I feel i am repeating myself, obviously the reason i am asking for feedback here is because i am not reassured by the "diagnosis they slapped".
Too gifted to eat. Huh. Frankly, if the child is refusing to eat to the point where he's becoming severely dehydrated, I highly doubt he has both the physical and mental energy to do anything on that list in the first post. And there is no way any reputable hospital in this country would treat a child like that and discharge a sick child with that "diagnosis".
Apartment Farm - the chronicles of my cooking, gardening, crafting and other such things.
I understand that this is hard on you, but the doctors have a point. You ARE able to get enough food into him using home treatment. He IS doing really well. So that is, actually, good enough from a medical standpoint. It would be great if it was easier, but few babies are easy. It's not like you're going to stop being persistent and let him starve.
You might consider that you're working really hard to feed him while he's not hungry. I imagine that you're not going over 12 hours without even putting him to the breast. So he's getting a little smackerel of something a few times during the day and then tanking up at night. Basically, he's reverse cycling. He's young for night-weaning, but you might try asking your partner to deal with most of his night-time needs so you can limit night feedings to 2-3 instead of your current 4-5 to help him turn his clock around so he eats during the day.
novice, you are not repeating yourself, but have added a lot of useful information and I feel I am getting a much clearer picture.
So here's what I would do:
Forget about the "too gifted to eat" diagnosis. It is unprofessional, unhelpful and exposes you to snarky comments from others. You've got an opinion that's a lot more helpful which is "too distractible to eat" which actually makes a lot of sense to me.
Moreover, you have been running around from specialist to specialist who all assure you that your child is doing well. However, it is YOU who are going round the bend with worry, sleep deprivation and the feeling that you are spending every waking PLUS every sleeping hour feeding your baby. So work on that. Believe them that your child is doing well with what you are currently doing, cancel all the specialist visits, check him for signs of dehydration daily, put him on the baby scales every other day, schedule a visit with a midwife or your regular ped every other week or whatever you and they are comfortable with, and if everything comes up consistently alright, stop worrying about your baby and worry about how YOU are able to keep up doing what you're doing until things change. It is your first baby and everything feels like forever but believe me, when you feel you can't take it any more, things change all of a sudden and you will find different ways of coping with things. Just allowing yourself to be free from worry might release energy you did not feel you had.
Then: If you are sleep deprived, find someone, anyone (a teenager can do this) to push your baby round the neighbourhood in a stroller for two hours so you can take a nap. Get your DH or grandma to take over some of the spoon feedings during the day. Make the spoon feedings fun for yourself: put him in the highchair (yes, a baby this young should not be in a high chair but desperate situations call for desperate measures) make a cup of coffee for yourself (he is not sleeping or nursing during the day nayways, right? So have coffee!) and have a cookie while you feed. Repeat to yourself, like a mantra: he is not starving. he is thriving.
Or if it occasionally works to feed him in a darkened room, just make it a habit to lie down every late morning and every afternoon with him, try to get him to doze off and to nurse. If it works that day, great. If it doesn't. no worries. Repeat: he is not starving. he is thriving. Try again in the afternoon.
I feel for you, I really do: apart from an oldest who is often too distracted to eat, I have two that are too distracted to sleep, no matter how tired they are, unless you basically sit on them for 45 minutes (they get that from me, I usually take even longer). That's two naptimes for DD and one or two bedtimes for DD and DS (depending on whether DH is home). Sometimes I feel like I am spending hours of my life every day lying immobile in a darkened room waiting for my kids to fall asleep). It's torture sometimes. I feel guiltily glad that I had to start DD in half day daycare because I start working part time next month because it means that one nap at least is taken care of - I do not know how they do it, but they assure me she sleeps).
maybe Miranda can reassure you a bit more: I am sure no one has more experience about how to roll with the unusual than she has!

he does feed when asleep, but thanks
And yeah, the "profoundly gifted" thing sounds like they were either blowing you off or trying to reassure what they perceived as a nervous first-time mom.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. You are right it does set me up for snide comments from others. Too distracted to eat is accurate. He does get nibbles here and there but good feeds only at night. Thank you again for your post.
That is what I felt as well, but their attempt at reassurance helped me none right?
I'm shocked that so many here are treating this seriously.
You never know. Benefit of the doubt and all that.
I do see it as plausible that an infant would be too busy to eat. It is not uncommon in older babies - nursing in a darkish boring room seems to help. What I find odd (not necessarily lying, though) is the 7 day hospital stay, diagnosis and sending her home with no plan. Something is odd there.

the too busy thing i had read 4 month old babies doing, where they are too interested in the surrounding to nurse. We were there for 7 days as they were not too keen on sending us home without a solid plan on how to ensure he is feeding well and how to prevent this situation from reoccurring (he was not severely dehydrated to clarify but he was dehydrated nonetheless), which was a good thing the doctor said the stay is "preventative to ensure we do not get to a point where we have a kid who is not thriving. But then the weekend ended, the ped on monday was not the same one we had been seeing although they all work together in groups and had discussed and that one was comfortable saying "go home and keep doing all the things you have been doing, and to accept the fact that feeding him may never be easy". I know it sounds odd, that is why i am still looking for a reason. As for it being a nursing strike, well it sure is the longest nursing strike isn't it?
the OP might be lying through her teeth. So might anyone on this board. You might be a dog, on the internet no one knows. Or she might be a genuinely worried and sleep deprived new mom faced with a very unusual situation. That's the point of the gifted forum: you can bring those really unusual stories about your really unusual kids that no one in RL would believe and ask for help. Might turn out giftedness plays a part. Or not. Please give her the benefit of doubt or at least leave those of us who do alone.
Reverse cycling isn't actually that unusual, my DD was a bit of a reverse cycler. However, I'd describe reverse cycling as tanking up at night and snacking during the day - for an otherwise good nurser to refuse to nurse (or drink, or sleep) altogether during the daytime and enter into dehydration because of it is unusual. For that reason I would not try to break the cycle, as another poster suggested, until your the child is a few months older and the danger of dehydration is not so severe and the child will take at least one solid feed, of whatever, during the day, so that it is clear he WILL eat when he is hungry. Some kids will not.
I know of a high-flying European Court judge who put all of her 6 kids into a reverse cycle on purpose so she could go back to work full time at once and only have the babies brought in to nurse during her lunch hour. She then nursed through the night as opposed through the day and in between nursing sessions finished her PhD if I remember correctly. there are a lot of unusual ways of bringing up babies.

A group that is said to be funded by the Democratic Attorney Generals Association is airing advertisements on televison here in Vermont in the attorney general's race. And the ads seem to be ticking off T.J. Donovan, who is challenging Bill Sorrell in the Democratic primary.
Donovan, at an 11:30 a.m. news conference, called on Sorrell to ask that the ads be taken down. The ads are being paid for by a political action committee independent from Sorrell's campaign.
The Committee for Justice & Fairness paid WCAX-TV $39,809 through an ad agency to air the ads starting Friday morning and running for the next two weeks, according to records the Burlington Free Press obtained from WCAX. The total cost to the Committee for Justice & Fairness was $46,835 with the ad agency's fee, according to the records.
Donovan said he's learned that the Committee for Justice & Fairness has paid a total of $99,000 for the ads, which suggests they will be running on other stations.
In the ad, former Gov. Howard Dean is narrating, though he doesn't identify himself by name. Dean touts Sorrell for holding financial firms accountable. He says, "I'm proud to call Bill Sorrell my friend. I'm more proud to call him attorney general."
The ad doesn't mention Donovan or say anything negative about Sorrell's opponent.
Donovan said he hadn't seen the ad, which aired early this morning and will be on at various times all day, but a staff member had.
His objection, he said, is that it's pumping $99,000 into a race without knowing who the individual donors are, more money than Sorrell's has raised for his own campaign.
Donovan said a recent decision by Sorrell as attorney general allowed independent political action committees to spend as much as they want, then weeks later he is benefitting from one of those PACs. Donovan said he doesn't disagree with Sorrell's decision on the PACs, but said he believes Sorrell should speak out against the ad. "This calls for leadership," he said.
By law, candidates may not coordinate with a group that is spending independently. Donovan said he has no evidence to suggest that Sorrell coordinated with the group airing the ad.

Rowel spur
probably Bohemian, Prague, about 1470
Steel covered in brass with six pointed rowel. Decorated with foliage and Gothic miniscules.
From the Roman period onwards, spurs were used to aid the cavalryman in controlling his horse. In medieval Europe they became symbols of knighthood. The earliest spurs, called prick spurs, had simple points. From the 14th century spurs were usually fitted with pointed rowels (spiked revolving disc).

At the start of this year's NCAA tournament, sports betters nationwide had the #1 seeded North Carolina Tar Heels as the 13-2 odds on favorite for winning the big dance, but with the recent injury to their floor general Kendall Marshall, their chances of winning the National Championship have clearly diminished.
Marshall,who currently averages 7.9 points and 9.7 assists per game, suffered a fractured right wrist during UNC's 87-73 win over the Creighton Blue Jays this past weekend, making him questionable for Friday's scheduled game against the #13 Ohio Bobcats.
CBSSports.com's Jeff Goodman confirmed Monday's surgery with Dennis Marshall, Kendall's father. Marshall told CBSSports.com a screw will be inserted in the non-shooting wrist, and the sophomore point guard's status for Friday will depend on how much pain Kendall can take. -Source
Just when the Tar Heels got back their starting power forward John Henson back from his wrist injury, Marshall goes down with a wrist injury of his own. SMH.

The Aristocats is a 1970 American animated feature produced and released by Walt Disney Productions in 1970 and features the voices of Eva Gabor, Phil Harris, and Roddy Maude-Roxby as Edgar the butler, the villain of the story.
Some interesting facts about Aristocats:
- The character of Scat Cat was designed to be voiced by Louis Armstrong. The character's look was modeled after Armstrong – the way he played his trumpet, his roly-poly physique, right down to the prominent gap between his teeth. However, at the last moment, for unknown reasons, Armstong quit the film without recording a single line. His replacement, Scatman Crothers, was directed to "Pretend you're Satchmo."
- The Sherman Brothers (Richard M. Sherman & Robert B. Sherman), whose father wrote the big Chevaliar hit "Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight", talked Maurice Chevalier out of retirement to sing the title song.
- The last animated feature to be approved by Walt Disney and the studio's first animated feature to be completed after his death.
- Eva Gabor and Pat Buttram were both starring together in the TV series Green Acres while recording voices for this animated film.
- This was originally intended as a two-part, live-action installment of the TV series Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
- Thomas O'Malley's full name is Abraham De Lacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley.
- The character of Uncle Waldo, the English goose, was the last role of voice actor Bill Thompson, who died from a heart attack at age 58, shortly after the film was released.
- Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Russian Cat, did singing voices on several Disneyland attractions such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and the Enchanted Tiki Room. He was primarily known for many years as the voice of Kellogg's Tony the Tiger.
- Ruth Buzzi's first feature film.
- In the 2008 DVD re-release version, the main menu of the movie shows that Toulouse's and Berlioz's neckties are mixed up.
- The goose sisters, Abigail and Amelia, are voiced by Carole Shelley and Monica Evans, who played the equally-chatty Pigeon sisters, Cecily and Gwendolyn, in the movie, TV series, and original Broadway production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. (They also provide the voices of Maid Marian and Lady Cluck in Disney's Robin Hood).
- The dogs Napoleon and Lafayette are both named after famous french generals Napoleon Bonaparte and Marquis De Lafayette. Napoleon was the emperor of French who conquer much of Europe. Lafayette was a french nobleman who helped the Americans during the American revolution.
- The Aristocats was inspired by the true story of a Parisian family of cats, circa 1910, that inherited a fabulous fortune.
- Originally there was meant to be a direct to video sequel titled AristoCats II. It was intended for a 2007 release, but production got canceled back in 2006.
- The last film in which Eric Larson worked as a supervising animator. From then on he concentrated on training the younger animators that came to the studio during the seventies and eighties.

Who are all these wide receivers the Dolphins signed? They signed Mike Wallace and now have one very good receiver on the team and one slightly above average one in Hartline. So people think that is good enough to compete with the best teams in the league? I guess after all the years of watching terrible offenses Fin Fan's expectations are very low.
I give up. We sign one good WR and apparently all of our WR problems are solved. I watched our games of last year lastnigh and letme tell you, our offense was near devastating. It was not a 1 WR fix. Miami needed a Bailey or Austin still. We got Gibson instead. Rams got Cook Austin Bailey Miami got Wallace Keller and Gibson. Lol.
But, but Davone Bess was such a good WR! Why did they trade him?
I believe the thinking is that Keller and Wallace are going to take pressure off of Hartline and open up the field for someone or other. I know the formula has worked before, but it would have been nice to see a bit more explosion considering our running backs are so unproven...
double post. sorry
People who are worried about our WRs may have missed what Big Ben said. He kinda knows a thing or two more about receivers than us, ya think?
We are lucky. We have a far better team than last year. Dont be silly, folks.
How would you like to be a Jet or Bills fan right now?
Hartline is a solid player and underrated, but we needed another STUD at WR. The great teams have a group of 4 WRs who can really get it done. I like Matthews potential, but I want to really hammer down this position. Bailey wouldve gotten us all excited.
I think Hartline can hurt teams if they sleep on him, but we needed more playmakers at WR. Gibson is a decent little underrated guy, but he is no stud.
And agreed with what one person was saying about St. Louis. Thats going to be a helluva division with them, San Fran, and Seattle. Im glad we dont play that division for another 3 years. Got that out of the way last year.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
The only fan base that still has receiver as a top need after signing Wallace and Gibson lol....
I told you guys we weren't going receiver early... If Bess was not traded we would have NEVER taken one in this draft. That would've been a wasted pick.

For the fourth time this season, the LaRue County Lady Hawks found a way to win at home.
The Lady Hawks overcame early difficulties to notch a 47-40 victory over the visiting Green County Lady Dragons on Friday night.
The win marked the first time the Lady Hawks (12-2 overall, 2-1 in district) have defeated the Lady Dragons (2-12, 1-4) in Hodgenville since the 2005-06 season. The victory also helps the program remain in contention for the No. 1 seed in the 18th District.
The LaRue County Hawks Basketball Team defeated two Fifth Region rivals last week, beating Campbellsville High School 63-58 and Green County High School 59-44.
The Hawks improved their record to 9-3 with a 63-58 victory over rival Campbellsville High School Jan. 4.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Family Resource and Youth Service centers across Kentucky.
The Kentucky Education Reform Act mandated the formation of these centers to help not only students but also their families in ways that would best benefit those kids in school.
LaRue County Schools have two family resource centers, one at Hodgenville Elementary, with Melissa Pearman, coordinator, and the other at Abraham Lincoln Elementary, Machelle Durham coordinator.
Betty Lawson with the J.E. Bramblett sales team was named top sales agent for December, announced J.E. Bramblett, principal broker of Re/Max Executive Group Inc. in Elizabethtown. Lawson specializes in residential and new construction sales.
Thanks to the Hodgenville Elementary School's Family Resource Center, HES was able to have a very successful first year of Archery Club.
A Hodgenville man was indicted Dec. 20 by a LaRue County grand jury on several drug charges.
Christopher R. Logsdon, 34, of Carter Brothers Road, was charged with cultivating marijuana, five or more plants; possession of firearm while committing an offense; trafficking in marijuana; first-degree possession of a controlled substance; and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The alleged incidents occurred in February 2010, according to Kentucky State Police.
Kendrick Bryan has accepted a position as sports correspondent with The LaRue County Herald News.
He will be covering the Lady Hawks basketball games for the rest of the season and writing sports features.
He is a substitute teacher for LaRue County Schools and has served as assistant volleyball coach for the Lady Hawks.
He graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2009 and is working on a degree in school counseling. He serves as executive vice president and student body vice president at WKU.
Newly-elected Rep. Michael Meredith, R-Brownsville (19th District) was named Vice-Chairman of the House Local Government Committee in the Kentucky House of Representatives. The announcement was made Friday.
"I'm pleased and humbled to be named as Vice-Chairman of the House Local Government Committee," said Meredith. "I hope to use the feedback I receive from those living in my district and across the commonwealth in my new role."

NEW YORK — Referee Tony Corrente has been fined one game check by the NFL for uttering some obscenities with his microphone on during a Nov. 4 game in Indianapolis between the Colts and Miami Dolphins.
The fine was issued Friday by NFL officiating director Carl Johnson.
A referee of Corrente's experience earns approximately $9,000 a game.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Corrente inadvertently left his microphone open during a conference with members of the officiating crew. During that conference, Corrente used obscenities that were heard by the crowd and the CBS television audience.
