I made this cake without altering any ingredients and it turned out great! Just like the photo. I did use 2 - 8 inch round pans. I would only suggest using 'regular' cool whip and not the 'lite' cool whip because the regular cool whip sets up better. And for the frosting - cool the jello, white choc., milk & juice from the lemon mixture for 20 minutes (no less) and then 'gently' fold in the cool whip after that time.
made the icing twice and neither time did it thicken up...would not use this icing recipe ever again
I made this according to the recipe, only I put it into 3-8 inch pans so I would not have to split layers. I decorated it with some marshmellow daisies and served it to my Red Hat members. It was a huge hit! Thank You for so many good recipes!

MESSENGER Reveals Mercury as a Dynamic Planet
Date: April 30, 2009 at 2 p.m. EST
NASA's MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) is the first mission sent to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. It will use Mercury's gravity for a critical assist needed to keep the spacecraft on track for its orbit insertion around the planet less than two years from now. During its second flyby of Mercury on October 6, 2008, MESSENGER's cameras captured more than 1,200 high-resolution and color images of the planet - unveiling another 30 percent of Mercury's surface that had never before been seen by spacecraft and gathering essential data for planning the overall mission. In a set of four papers published in Science magazine on May 1, 2009 MESSENGER team members detail additional findings about the planet's magnetosphere and exosphere, and its geological history. MESSENGER was launched on August 3, 2004. After one last pass at Mercury on September 29, 2009, the spacecraft will start a year-long orbital study of Mercury in March 2011.

The growth that the domain industry has enjoyed in the past few years, is marred by the entrance of 'parachuting' professionals.
Salesmen are becoming "domain brokers" overnight, with minimal training and no background in corporate or b2b relationships.
The notorious 'car salesman' attitude is finding raw territory in domaining, where anyone can become a "domain broker" and can start laying out their brokered assets.
And that's fine, because to those of us who have been observing the game for years, it's evident who is the real domain broker, and who is nothing but a glorified robocaller.
I won't mention names, in order not to embarrass the companies that employ them, but I'm tired of receiving 'brokered offers' for domains of mine, that aren't listed in those venues.
When I explain that they're out of their mind if they think I'll be forking out a 10%-20% brokerage fee, so that their client can place an offer via their marketplace, I'm met with subsequent silence. Perhaps it's because I explicitly state that the domains are for sale directly, on Internet Traffic inventory and by utilizing Escrow.com. Both these companies have shifted the paradigm of engaging in domain business, each one contributing to improving the processes, methodology and forging of business relationships.
And that's what separates professional domain brokers from parachuting car salesmen: the latter, will never acknowledge their faux pas; they will simply move on to the next potential buyer to tag their fees on.

Wichita State's Gregg Marshall has turned down Iowa
Mar 30, 2014 at 9:48 pm | Print View
You can scratch men's basketball coach Gregg Marshall off Iowa's list. Apparently the Wichita State coach declined an opportunity to interview for the vacant Iowa coaching position.
Paul Sullentrop of the Wichita Eagle told me Marshall decided against meeting with Iowa officials earlier this week in Atlanta.
"I respectfully declined that invitation and have had no contact with them since," Marshall told Suellentrop. "Hopefully, this will end any type of speculation."What does this say about Iowa right now? Your thoughts please.

Spring Garden Cake
- Yield: Makes one 10-inch layer cake
Source: Martha Stewart Living, April 2000
- Carrot Orange Cake
- Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (approximately 20 cookies), finely ground
- 2 tablespoons green sprinkles
- Marzipan fruits and vegetables, about 25 pieces
- Pastillage Fence
- 1 pound candy pebbles, for garnish
Prepare carrot and zucchini cakes as directed, and cool to room temperature. If necessary, use a serrated knife to trim cake tops level. Each cake should be about 1 1/4 inches high.
Prepare cream cheese frosting. Place zucchini cake on a 10-inch cake round, and spread top of cake with 1 1/4 cups cream cheese frosting. Place a carrot cake on top of the frosted zucchini cake. Chill until icing is set, about 15 minutes. Ice entire cake with remaining frosting. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes. This can be done up to 1 day in advance.
Sprinkle top of cake with 1/2 cup cookie crumbs, leaving a 1/4-inch border around perimeter of cake. Using a paring knife, lightly mark cake top, dividing into quarters or four "plots." Rake the plots with the tines of a fork. Place green sprinkles on the perimeter of cake. Arrange marzipan fruits and vegetables on the plots. Carefully press pastillage fence posts onto the side of the cake, about 1/4 inch apart, and place candy pebbles around the base of the fence. Serve cake at room temperature.

Between Bandicoon, Bandicoon Kit, Shy Bandicoon, Masked Tanuki and Masked Tanuki Pup,
Which seems to be the best pet + breed?
yay socks is back
My Rare Bandicoon is a color changer. Each time I summon him he will randomly be any of the 3 skins.
Adorable pet! I managed to get one by the veiled stair and my team wasn't even high level (in the 14-16 range). You just have to get lucky some of its abilities miss and the trap works
Actually I was able to catch a Bandicoon Kit on the veiled stair in beta. I can't confirm that this hasn't changed in live, as I have yet to find any, but I can't see why it would have.
The pups are a rare spawn and not guaranteed to always be up, but two will occasionally spawn alongside an adult. Same goes for Malayan Quillrats and their pups on the veiled stair. (And I CAN confirm lvl 1 Quillrat pups spawn up there in live, as I've found them up twice now and caught all four.)
If you go up to the top of The Veiled Stair, these dudes are actually level 1 up there and available in all three colors. However, the Bandicoon Kit is not available at the top of The Veiled Stair.

- 2.6 "iframe" vs. "iFrame" vs. "IFrame" vs. "Iframe"
- 2.7 "html" vs. "HTML" vs. "Html"
- 2.8 plugin vs. plug-in
Ron's comments
Ron Severdia commented this opinion on the tracker
I noticed this a while back and have been standardizing on the following:
news feed
web link
O'Reilly and most publishers have settled on these forms (including the ever-erroneous "plugin," which should be "plug-in").
Chris's comments
These are all very subjective, but below are my thoughts, based on some Google searches, a search of the Oxford Dictionaries (http://oxforddictionaries.com/), which is referred to below as the OED, and of course, my personal preferences. I haven't attempted to research American spellings (eg. on Webster) although Google search results will tend to give a US bias anyway.
"dropdown" vs. "drop-down" vs. "drop down"
At the present time, "drop-down" seems to be the most accepted form and agrees with the OED.
"backend" vs. "back-end" vs. "back end"
All three forms are in common use (well, common in computer circles anyway). My feeling is that this term is quite technical in nature and it should only be used with great care in the user interface. The average user is simply not going to know what a "back end" is. Merging the two words into "backend" just makes it even less likely that understanding will follow. My preference would be for "back end" since even hyphenation might cause puzzlement and it agrees with the OED.
"frontend" vs. "front-end" vs. "front end"
My preference is for "front end". See argument above.
"newsfeed" vs. "news-feed" vs. "news feed"
Interestingly, the hyphenated form is almost never used. Even more interestingly, the OED lists "newsfeed" (along with "newsgroup") as a valid word. Indeed, "newsfeed" seems to be more commonly used than "news feed". Maybe the term was in use before the internet came along? My preference goes to "newsfeed".
"weblink" vs. "web-link" vs. "web link"
The OED lists "weblink" as "another term for HYPERLINK". The hyphenated form is used occasionally. Personally, I don't see any great need to merge the two words into one as it is more likely to confuse newbies and so my (slight) preference is for "web link".
"iframe" vs. "iFrame" vs. "IFrame" vs. "Iframe"
Capitals in the middle of words are not acceptable in English unless it's a proper noun for a company product and that is the way it is spellt by its producer/manufacturer. It is not a valid English word at all, but an HTML tag (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp). Anyone using "iFrame" is spending too much time around Apple products. This is another one of those technical terms that should only be used in the user interface with great care and backed up with more detailed explanation. So, it should be "iframe".
"html" vs. "HTML" vs. "Html"
This is an initialism so it should always be "HTML". Okay, okay, camel-case conventions mean that Joomla has a class called "JHtml" in the code, instead of "JHTML", but Joomla classes are not literary works.
plugin vs. plug-in
Whilst "plug-in" would be the correct form when the expression was first introduced, a quick search on Google suggests that "plugin" is now well-embedded in colloquial English and is the more common form. The OED still uses the hyphenated form, but that's no real surprise as it takes years for them to catch up with common usage. My personal preference is for "plugin".

Chris I have got a handle on most of the changes that need to be made now but I would appreciate having a chat with you first. It's a lot of changes and I would prefer to only make them once Brian Teeman 18:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


text: #604: Statistics functions with new options -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rspringuel | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 0.7 Component: scipy.stats | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- I created a personal statistics package because the functions already in scipy didn't satisfy the needs that I had. In some cases this was because scipy's version didn't do what I wanted it to do, in other cases it was because scipy didn't have that function (or at least I couldn't find it if it did). In those cases where scipy already had a version of the function, I tried to make my version capable of doing all the things that the scipy version could do, but since I code exclusively in python (I don't know any other coding languages) there were somethings that I couldn't implement (I couldn't modify the ndarray class, for instance, to make these methods of that class when numpy had that feature). The features that I added because I needed them are as follows: weights : of the statistical functions available, only average had the ability to incorporate weights. All of my descriptive statistics functions have the ability to incorporate weights. Where weights are not traditionally thought of, I started from the premise that in cases where all weights are whole numbers they should correspond to the frequency of observation for that particular data point. E.g. unweighted statistics of the set [1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5] should have the same result as the set [1,2,3,4,5] with weights [1,1,1,2,3]. I've also included the ability to use ErrorVal, a package I found online, as the source for the weights, but mostly included that because I liked the idea behind ErrorVal when I found it. Since writing that portion of the code I've found that I don't actually use ErrorVal all that much, so I wouldn't be adverse to editing that part of the code out if ErrorVal is not something that can be referenced for license reasons. NaN handling: I needed the ability to specify how nan variables were handled in an array seperately from inf variables. This is currently handled by having seperate functions for the nan friendly versions, some of which are buried in subpackages of stats. I thought that this made them more difficult to use and so created my functions with a boolean flag that can set how nan variables are treated. In addition to the descriptive statistics, I also filled out my package with some Goodness of Fit, Parameter, and Analysis of Residuals statistics. These help with the post hoc analysis on an optimization solution for data. -- Ticket URL: <http://scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/604> SciPy <http://www.scipy.org/> SciPy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering.

CBS News - Dr. Taraneh Shirazian and Dr. Rebecca Brightman: "Pregnant Women Advised to Eat More Fish"
Taraneh Shirazian, MD, Director of Global Women's Health and Assistant Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at The Mount Sinai Hospital, recently discussed the new government guidelines for fish consumption.
New York, NY– June 11, 2014 ––
"There are a lot of great health benefits," said Dr. Shirazian. "Omega 3 is great for brain development in the developing baby. There are also other nutrients and proteins that are found in fish." New federal guidelines recommend 8 to 12 ounces a week for those women, but because of mercury levels, some fish are off limits. "The fish that they're recommending contain omega 3 fatty acids, which are very important for fetal brain development," said Rebecca Brightman, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

Moving Day
Moving Day
By Celia Keegan
My fragile glasses can be wrapped with care
And gently packed in yesterday's old news.
Burlap can cover table, desk, and chair
To save smooth surfaces from rough abuse.
My linens may be fragrant, boxed, and neat,
While crated books may cause strong men to grumble,
And the piano sheathed in a ragged sheet
Lest it be marred, should careless carriers stumble.
All these possessions can be moved away
To a street new-numbered and new named.
But something that I dearly loved must stay:
The living picture my bedroom window framed.
And for months, this vagrant thought will tease my mind:
"What was the thing those movers left behind?"

"Doomed by Diversity"
New Yorker writer Jeffrey Goldberg gets the pillory for something he didn't say.
The Goldberg comment is appalling, offensive, idiotic. His own search for a diversity-free workplace may have succeeded. That's not where we live, or want to live, or intend to live. Diversity is a cardinal value of The Post and the communities we cover. Period.
Bennett says his internal post was a response to the staffer who characterized what Goldberg said. "The idea that white males' careers at the Washington Post would be 'doomed by diversity' is absurd," he says.
But the "doomed by diversity" line that Nakamura picked up on and Downie and Bennett alluded to was Jaffe's invention, not Goldberg's. Jaffe calls it a "lame attempt at alliteration" to describe what he thought happened to Goldberg at the paper.
"Goldberg never used that line," Jaffe says. "He never implied it."
Bennett says if that doomed diversity wasn't Goldberg's notion, then he doesn't have a beef with The New Yorker writer.
In an e-mail and phone interview, Downie acknowledges that Goldberg didn't "attack" the paper's diversity efforts, and that "blamed" is what he thought he wrote on the paper's internal site. But he still dismisses Goldberg's account of how the paper passed him over. Downie writes via e-mail:
We do not designate slots for minorities, although we seek diversity in candidates for all of our openings. In Goldberg's case, I was part of the decision-making. We decided that we did not want to hire him, period. We had enough openings on the Metro staff (as we often do because of its size) that his candidacy was not affected by the hiring of anyone else, minority or otherwise.
Goldberg recalls that the paper's city editor *, Mary Jo Meisner, told him explicitly that she wanted to hire him but had to give the slot to a Hispanic. Meisner, now at the Boston Foundation, remembers Goldberg as a "great, scrappy, young reporter," but of the Hispanic comment she adds, "I do not remember this."
In 1989, Downie was managing editor to Ben Bradlee's executive editor. According to Goldberg, Downie told him, "We'd love to have you back" after he was passed over. Goldberg took this to mean he should reapply for a job in the future after acquiring more experience.
The he-said, she-said quality to this rumble makes determining what happened at the Washington Post 16 years ago impossible. But the story is worth musing over because it reveals the inner tensions at work in businesses, schools, and branches of government that take pride in increasing diversity, as the Post does. In 1991, when Downie became executive editor, 17.1 percent of the paper's newsroom staff was nonwhite. According to a summer 2005 study, the percentage of nonwhites in the newsroom at the Post had risen to 21.4, better than the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, and USA Today.
At the risk of falling victim to my own Al Campanis Moment, let me think out loud about diversity. Without a doubt, diversity can improve the newspaper quality by putting ears, eyes, and brains inside the newsroom that understand the world outside. So, how do you increase diversity? You recruit for it and you train for it. But that effort isn't always painless. It's predictable that when a minority is hired or promoted that someone on staff will suspect that a diversity calculator in the backroom made the personnel decision, not a human being who considered only merit.

Rick's notoriously always late. I think it's a "power thing", a "father thing", a "God complex". If I know what I know, I know he's got his reasons for everything. I'm sure he's late on purpose. I mean, 5 minutes is One thing, but 15 minutes Late for his REHEARSALS with his ACTORS? He said he was "location scouting", whatever That means, but um....Like the Actors aren't THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE walking around on a movie set! PUH-LEEEEEEEZE. Guess what, No ACTORS, NO MOVIE. I mean, Really. Like the camera man Really matters. Like um....The SET, like That reeeeealllly Matters. Yeah, uh huh, Right. Sure. Like the Props guy Reeeeaaaaaallllly matters. You know? Guess WHAT PROP MASTER (Prop MASTER?! Don't flatter yourself!), I've studied Mime! You're not there, I MIME the object and they computer the missing Prop in Later, in Post Production.
speaking of Mime.....
So many mimes in the cast! Woo-Hoo! We had such a fun rehearsal today. Nicky, Vonnie, Steve, Jace and Ajay ALL mimed Muscal Instruments! Yeah, Right ON! Rick brought his boom box, and the boys got up and did some Air Band! It was so INTENSE! IN. TENSE. Rick's a Huge Journey fan, and he put on Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' and the guys Jammed, MAN. Me and Amie, and Dina Spivey (she just got in today!) all acted like Fans and groupies. The boys took turns singing vocals (flipped coins), and Rick even joined in...but Rick SANG, he didn't "air it". It was AWESOME.
...and then the real kicker was when Dina Spivey got up and did some Strip Teeze. She's in that Stripper movie, with Demi Moore, and she finds it hard to Shake that movie off of her. She was Reaaaaaaly Awesome, too, and there's even a possibility that Bee-Bee, the suicidal weirdo, has the tendency to take all her clothes off and Dance. Rick was TOTALLY into it, as were all the guys...I am too, though, I mean whatever Works, whatever it takes....
....hush hush, though....If Eric Bagosian finds out what a Butchery of his script we're doing, he'll get really upset.
......But then again, maybe he'd write a one man show about it and perform at The Public. It'll just Hype the movie.
Anyway. It was a Music day today. We Jammed. Wow. It was fun. We chose our characters Instrument. Like....
Amie: Harp
Vonnie: Guitar
Nicky: Banjo
Jayce: Electric Guitar
Steve: the Mandolin
Rick: Base
Dina: maracas (sp?)
Me: Flute
And we walked around in character, using our musical instruments as "inspiration". 3 types of "inspiration": 1) physical 2) spiritual 3) sexual. We hummed and sung and made noise and Moved and danced around.
I worry about Rick and his attachment to the cast. He really wants to be an actor, and is even toying around with putting himself in various scenes in different disguises. He told us all today that he's always wanted to play someone with a patch over his eye. ! Weird, huh? I don't understand it at All, and it's troubling me, 'cause I can't decide when the best moment will be for me to give him my Notes on the script. Like when is Rick gonna be in the best state to read my notes and think about the lines I wanna add? I don't have many lines, you know? I hope next week, when we start working on the script. We're into acting games Now. Now is the time to Play. To be Free. To Throw it all to the Wind.
Well. I'm tired and I don't wanna eat anything, so I'm gonna take a sleeping pill, and fall asleep!
Ajay and Jayce both have colds, b.t.w......from their character work in the rain.

|The Fascinating Story of
The "Discovery" of Anesthesia
October 16, 1996 marks the sesquicentennial anniversary of the first public demonstration of ether anesthesia - one of the most seminal events in the history of medicine.
Before 1846, any surgical operation was literally an agonizing, terrifying ordeal - a living and many times, a dying hell. Even a trip to the dentist for a tooth extraction was a much feared and dreaded experience. Before this date, preparing a patient for surgery typically involved plying him or her with opium or alcohol to the point of almost passing out and then having 4 to 10 strong men strap and hold the patient down while the surgery was rapidly accomplished. This was always accompanied by excruciating pain and a vigorous and unending screaming unless the patient fainted or died from an overdose of opium - a wrenching experience for both surgeon and patient alike. It was not uncommon that when a person was told that surgery was necessary, the patient would go home and commit suicide rather than consent to the operation, so terrifying were the stories related by previous patients who had gone under the knife. Many were psychologically affected or had nightmares about the experience for the rest of their lives.
Before 1846, the greatest recent advance in surgery was considered the suture, or stitch, introduced in the 16th century by Ambroise Pare, a French military surgeon. Before this innovation, people frequently died from bleeding or by the method used to close the wound, usually cauterization by the application of hot irons, or with amputations, the stump might be dipped in boiling pitch to seal the blood vessels.
Surgeons became very adept at performing operations rapidly - excising a bladder stone in 45 seconds or amputating a leg in 1 to 2 minutes. They had to be fast because the patient could not withstand the pain of a lengthy procedure. Surgery was a universally dreaded, feared and agonizing experience - this all changed October 16, 1846.
Ether was first synthesized in 1640 by Cordus, so it had been around a long time before it was discovered that it could be used to make a person insensible to pain for surgery. Nitrous oxide was discovered by Priestly in 1777, and in 1779 Davy actually described the pain relieving property of the gas, but nobody at that time correlated it to a possible use for relieving pain during surgical procedures.
By the beginning of the 19th century, after seeking a method for pain relief since the beginning of time, and with no real success, everyone had essentially given up and believed that pain was just a part of human existence, and that was the way it was supposed to be.
Actually, the discovery of "anesthesia" came about quite by accident. In the early 19th century, young people would gather together to have ether frolics (which would be analogous to pot parties during the 1960's). They discovered that when they sniffed the pungent, volatile, aromatic ether, they would enjoy it, get high, develop a giddiness, and sometimes pass out. At the same time, nitrous oxide was being promoted by lecturers who would go around giving out worldly knowledge in every town to crowds who would listen. They called it laughing gas and used it as entertainment to attract people to their lectures. One of the most notable of these was Samuel Colt, none other than the man who designed the first practical revolver-type pistol. At 19 years of age, when he and the chief chemist at his father's textile factory would get bored, they would indulge in a whiff of laughing gas. He then started touring the country going from town to town, lecturing and demonstrating the effects of the gas. One of the advertisements from a nitrous oxide demonstration promised: "The effect of the gas is to make those who inhale it either laugh, sing, dance, speak or fight, etc., etc., according to the leading trait of their character. They seem to retain consciousness enough not to say or do that which they would have occasion to regret." Ether, before mainly used for respiratory ailments, was also demonstrated by the itinerate lecturers in the same manner and with similar results.
It wasn't long before the more daring young people learned to just skip the lectures and brings bags of ether directly to their parties to liven up the frolics, and it wasn't even illegal! Highs could be developed quickly and they wore off completely except that occasionally people suffered bruises and even broken bones during intoxication from inhaling the gas without feeling it until long afterwards.
In December 1844, Horace Wells, a dentist, was one of the volunteers who tried inhaling nitrous oxide on stage during a demonstration by Professor Gardner Colton. One of the other volunteers injured his legs very badly during his inhalation of the gas, and when Wells afterwards asked if it was painful, he said he hadn't felt anything at all and was surprised to see blood all over his legs.
Whether it was Wells' sound reasoning or accidental observation that occurred at that time, it was that moment that eventually led to the development of anesthesia for surgery all over the world.
After the lecture Wells persuaded Professor Colton to bring a bag of nitrous oxide to his dental office where a colleague would extract a tooth while he himself was under the influence of the gas. This was accomplished, and Dr. Wells described it as no more painful than the prick of a pin.
After experimenting more in dental surgery with nitrous oxide, he then approached John C. Warren, one of the nation's foremost surgeons, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He asked Dr. Warren to allow him to demonstrate the extraction of a tooth using nitrous oxide before a group of students. A time was set for the event, but during the procedure the patient made a sound which the audience interpreted as pain and immediately jeered the procedure as a failure and the dentist as a humbug. Later the patient said that he felt no pain and didn't know why he made the sound, but it was too late - the word of the failure had already spread. Humiliated, Dr. Wells returned home and remained sick for the rest of the year.
Wells mentioned the pain relieving discovery of nitrous oxide to William Morton, a colleague who had trained in dentistry under him. At the time Morton was undertaking general medical studies under Charles Jackson, a well-known chemist and later at Harvard medical school. Wells discussed with Morton and Jackson his ideas for using nitrous oxide in surgery, but neither showed much interest.
Later, Morton was about to lose a dental case because of the intense pain fears of the patient. He asked the chemist Jackson for some nitrous oxide. He had none and off-handedly remarked that ether would work just as well. Morton then experimented with ether for dental surgery and became convinced that it would work for hospital surgery.
He contacted the same great surgeon, John C. Warren, before whose audience Wells disastrous demonstration took place, and asked permission to demonstrate a new vapor to make a patient insensible to pain for surgery before an audience of students and surgeons. Dr. Warren consented.
William Morton had enough experience with ether that he knew it would work and that he would be celebrated as the one to bring this monumental gift to humanity. He also knew that whoever had a patent on it and controlled its sales would be rich beyond imagination. But, since ether had been around for centuries and could not be patented, Morton had a problem.
What Morton did was add a few harmless impurities to the ether to try to disguise its smell and named it the secret concoction Letheon. He then took out a U.S. patent on it. He being the proprietor of the patent, in a loose arrangement with Dr. Charles Jackson, the chemist who had casually previously suggested that ether could be substituted for nitrous oxide.
On October 16, 1846, William Morton arrived late to the operating theater at Massachusetts General Hospital. The small group of eminent surgeons and students were laughing at a scolding remark of Dr. Warren's criticizing Morton's tardiness when he rushed into the room short of breath after running up the stairs with his Letheon and a new inhaler he had devised.
Warren then said, "Well, sir, your patient's ready." The patient , Edward Gilbert Abbot, a thin pale man, had a bulging tumor of the jaw. Dr. Morton calmly explained to the patient what to expect and then had him breathe from the inhaler for several tense minutes. He then said to Dr. Warren, "Sir, your patient is prepared."
Dr. Warren then dexterously and quickly excised the tumor from the jaw. There was no movement by the patient, only a slight wiggle and quiet gentle breathing as in a peaceful sleep. There was no shrieking by the patient, and there had been no need to strap the patient down or have several strong men hold him still for the surgery. The audience was silent, and with awe they were convinced. After the procedure Dr. Warren turned to the other surgeons and students, and with tears in his eyes, said, "Gentlemen, this is no humbug."
The news spread quickly, but Dr. Morton refused to divulge his secret formula. He sought license fees from dentists and hospitals for using his mixture. The news of the discovery spread rapidly around the world, and within months ether was being used in Europe and all over the United States. Dr. Morton's attempted disguise of ether as Letheon had failed - a patent was then useless, and no one had a financial claim on the use of ether.
While originating this process for the sake of humanity, Wells, Morton and Jackson were at first close friends, but after the successful ether demonstration, they were driven by jealousy for the rest of their lives. Each tried to claim credit for the discovery and spent all their energies toward this goal. They became the bitterest of enemies. Though their discovery has prevented millions of people from suffering, it brought tremendous suffering to themselves -- all three died in a state of madness.
Horace Wells unsuccessfully tried to prove that nitrous oxide could rival ether as an anesthetic, but the weaker gas, nitrous oxide, alone was not as effective as ether for surgery. He then turned to chloroform and quickly became addicted to it. While under its influence he threw acid in a woman's face and was put in jail. The year was 1848, and insane and despondent, he ended his life in the jail cell by slitting a major artery in his leg, taking care to attempt to anesthetize himself first.
William Morton lived longer, all the time seeking recognition and compensation for his discovery. In 1868, he had a nervous collapse after lobbying in Washington for compensation for his monumental discovery that had relieved so much suffering in the world. While in New York City, he jumped out of a moving buggy to plunge his head in a lake in Central Park. He was dragged out of the water unconscious and died in the hospital the next day.
Dr. Charles Jackson for years made intense attacks of Morton's claims to have originated anesthesia. (Jackson also claimed credit for guncotton and the telegraph.) He became insane, was committed to an asylum near Boston where he died after 7 years of confinement.
It is significant that Dr. Crawford Long of Jefferson, Georgia, in whose honor Doctor's Day originated, had been using ether anesthesia for surgery in 1842, 4 years before Morton's public demonstration. He used it on several minor surgery cases over the next few years. He did not publicize his technique until others had done so. He did not spread the word. He sought no fame or recognition. However, his keeping it isolated in Jefferson, Georgia and failing to promote ether as anesthesia only prolonged worldwide suffering for 4 years.
Oliver Wendall Holmes, Sr., the father of the future Supreme Court Justice, was an eminent physician and was excited over the discovery of the pain killing property of ether. He wrote to William Morton after Dr. Warren successfully amputated a woman's leg under Morton's ether administration. On November 21, 1846, he wrote, "Everybody wants to have a hand in the great discovery. All I want to do is to give you a hint or two as to names, or the name, to be applied to the state produced and the agent." From the Greek an for without and esthesia for sensibility, Holmes created the words anesthetic and anesthesia.
The discovery of anesthesia opened the door for the rapid development of surgery. There are hundreds of different kinds of surgical procedures performed today which would not be possible without anesthesia. Although Wells, Jackson and Morton were only ordinary men, the coincidence of their mutual acquaintance and their combination of ideas resulted in one of the most important discoveries in all of medicine.

China's Disastrously Divided Leadership
Aaron Friedberg, The New Republic
AP Photo
China's political elite is clearly divided against itself, although the precise composition of the factions is much hazier. Some observers see a contest between a group of "princelings," the descendants of China's revolutionary founders, and those from more modest backgrounds, many of whom got their start in the Communist Party Youth League. (Xi belongs to the first group, Li is a member of the second.) Others describe a behind-the-scenes struggle between Hu, Wen and their followers, and the protégées of retired but still influential president Jiang Zemin. Very public accusations of corruption against the former Chongqing mayor and high-profile princeling Bo Xilai earlier this year removed him from contention for a spot on the Standing Committee; there...

When I discovered the new healthy sugar –Erythritol– I got the idea that my delicious, high protein, sugar-free desserts could now become healthy dinner main dishes. You might ask yourself, "Why would I want her recipes?" You can read my story here to learn why I became so interested in eating for health. The sweetness of Erythritol is slightly different from ordinary table sugar, so I experimented until these recipes all passed the taste test with my family and friends.

Falcons keeping their focus
By: Todd Mordhorst, Journal Sports Editor
Colfax's Zajac, Graves will represent Falcons at Division III singles tennis championships this week
There was no exuberant celebration following Kari Zajac's Pioneer Valley League singles championship match victory last Friday at Auburn Racquet Club. The Colfax High senior was instead full of sympathy for her opponent across the net - teammate Heidi Graves. Zajac became the first unseeded player to win the PVL girls title, but Graves' gimpy left knee left her unable to cover the court and Zajac rolled to a 6-1, 6-0 win the title match. "It doesn't feel that great beating Heidi when she has her knee problem," said Zajac, a fourth-year singles player for the Falcons. "It felt really good though to make it to the finals and overcome all those really hard matches. That was the tough part." Both Zajac and Graves will represent Colfax at the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III singles championships on Thursday at Oak Park in Stockton. Graves plans on gutting it out on her bum knee this week after putting in a heroic effort at the PVL tournament. "Kari played such a great tournament that she deserved to be able to go out on a win," Graves said of the PVL final. "I thought, I'd rather go down with a fight than not have a match. I'm going to play (this week) no matter what." Zajac and Graves are hoping to re-capture some of the magic they made two years ago at the section tournament. They teamed up to win the Division III doubles title in 2006. It's the highlight of Graves' career, to this point. "That was really exciting," Zajac said. Both Zajac and Graves are 4.0 students. They're best friends and coach Paul Phillips said he couldn't ask for better examples for his young players. "We always have each other's backs," Graves said. "We're always cheering for each other, it's constant support. It doesn't get any better." After contending for PVL supremacy in the first three years of PVL play the Falcons have been brushed aside by section power Placer the last two years. The Hillmen have yet to lose a PVL match since moving into the league prior to last season. Zajac's run of upsets on her way to the championship included a victory over Placer's Emily Schoenhoff in the semifinals. "When Placer wins everything else, to get Colfax's name out there was really nice," Graves said.

November -- Infants and Toddlers
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/1/2011 2:49 PM EDTCongrats to baby IPW on an excellent first day! :)
Hello all! It's been a while, but I am finally getting back to normal. My maternity leave for DS ended on Friday and yesterday was my first day back to work. Boo on 2 accounts! Actually, it went so well that I am feeling a bit guilty that I am happy to get back to work and be "me" for a while during the day! Pumping went fantastically well - I got more than he ever would want right now. And DS seemed to have coped quite well without me! DH is staying home with both the kiddos for now and taking a leave from real estate.
DS is 12 weeks and is smiling, cooing and winning the hearts of everyone he meets! He is still waking up once or twice a night, but he goes back down very easily so it's not too bad. I think he will sleep through soon because he has just broken 11lbs. Or at least I am hoping!
DD is 18 months and I swear she gets cuter and more fun by the day! She also acquires more words by the day! It is such a fun time, though she is starting to have tantrums when she doesn't get her way. Terrible 2s might be coming early! But for the most part she is a gem. She loves to play with her brother. She gives him his bink and "reads" to him. So cute! My DH also got her completely off the bottle and bink this past month. And it was so quick and easy. She's a star! (and loves to find stars and say "star" too).
Can't wait to hear how everyone else is doing!
November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/1/2011 3:02 PM EDTHappy November all. Halloween was great fun, hope everyone had a good night. Or, will enjoy it in a few days when its rescheduled. DS was a giraffe and actually let us put on the head/hood!So today was his first day of daycare. He did really well. I was planning on a 9-12 schedule. We got there and I filled his cubby with all his extras, blanket, etc. Teachers are great. He played and was ok until one of the little boys fell on him (by accident of course). There were some tears and I thought we were done for.. but he recovered and went back to playing after a hug. I said goodbye and left just as they were about to start breakfast. Throught the window I saw some tears but one teacher was specifically watching him and giving him lots of hugs. After a few phone call check ins, I arrived at 1pm to a sound asleep boy! Yeah. We left at 2pm and he was so good. I'm so thrilled!
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/1/2011 3:34 PM EDTCongratulations on a great first day at daycare! That is a good start (and it is great that your LO will take a nap on the first day - ours was always iffy with napping there).DS, who is 14 months, is finally toddling (although at daycare, he is careful only to try walking when there is no child around him - he hates falling and seems to realize that he is more likely to get bumped by other kids). Unfortunately, we already have had a run down to ER this month (hopefully the last time for him) when he crawled to silently wait behind a busy teacher, who fell over him and knocked him back... poor baby got a mild concussion (although we could not find a bump or mark on his head - the only sign of issues was that he suddenly went limp and would not respond to the teachers or me initially when I got there although he was still conscious) and poor teacher got a broken finger. He does have a bad habit of crawling behind people to wait for them to finish so they can pick him up - he does love his cuddles. But then a week later, he started to take his first steps. And he has started to bring us books to read to him (after a long period of disinterest in books). His favorites are the lift the flap books we found (although he has already ripped one of them by the flaps, but he is getting the idea on those books). And we found there is a daycare DS and home DS - where he will eat all kinds of stuff and hold his own sippy cup but at home, we are not so lucky especially with the food (home = floor for the same stuff he would eat at daycare)... although we finally got him to manage his own take n toss straw cups without a mess so progress there.I have to say it is tough not to compare to his younger classmates who seem to be more mobile and at a faster pace than he is, but we are excited at his progress and learning to tune out the fact that XYZ baby can already do something DS was slow to work towards since DS is still within normal range and tends to be more of an observer than a risk taker, and more cautious (even his teacher has noted that DS appears to deliberately take his time and set himself up to minimize risk taking).He travels like a champ (we have flown with him a few times now and done a few car road trips) so we hope to continue to do a weekend getaway every month.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 10:51 AM EDTGreat news, IPW! And great news, Trouble! It's nice to hear that even an 18 month old is interested in helping with the baby.
cwagner, I know exactly how you feel about comparing to younger kids at daycare. Our LO is now 15 months and the kids who are 9-12 months have about the same (or better) skills as she does in gross motor. It's hard to do, but I've gotten better at focusing on the strong points, like her super fine motor skills! :)
We are doing well. Having some (re)improvements in sleep, as I posted on another thread, and the LO can officially sit up from lying down with no problems. She can occasionally pull up to stand if properly motivated by, say, the phone, but it's definitely awkward. PT consultation next week to see if there are any other things we need to do.
One thing that's funny is she has just become interested in stuffed animals. Before she had no use for them. She mostly wants to give them to me to make them dance or run or snuggle, but sometimes she does those things herself, which is really sweet.
Along with that, she seems really interested in photographs of babies and kids. Does anyone know a good book that has lots of photographs (not drawings) of people?
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 12:42 PM EDTTrouble - Hope the return to work goes smoothly! With two little babies at home, you are my hero!Med - Could you get one of those mini photo albums and put pictures in them of people your DD knows and loves?IPW - horray for good day care! Glad all went well!
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 2:06 PM EDTCan't believe it is November!
IPW - congrats on a good start to daycare! My DD started daycare in May when she was 10.5 months and it was certainly a nervous experience and I cried more than she did I think. I also cried when she transitioned from the infant to toddler classroom too... figures!
cwagner - how scary for you with the trip to the ER with the concussion! I know how tough it is when the little ones get underfoot. Hopefully you won't have to go back there anytime soon.
Trouble - good luck with going back to work. My DD is 15 months and I can't imagine having a newborn in addition to her right now and working full time.
Med - we have a plastic photo-album type book that we inserted photos of family members into. It was a gift, but I think it came from babies r us ("Sassy" brand). DD loves to give "kisses" to nana and grandpa's picture.
As for us, we just keep on plugging along. DD had her 15-month checkup last week and she is still a peanut at 19.5 pounds. She is 30 inches tall though so she is proportional and has a kinda "athletic" build (which she certainly did not get from her mama!). She got 4 shots and handled them all like a champ. She is non-stop and running around all the time (which is probably while she is still under 20 pounds - she runs all of her calories off). We are having so much fun with her as her little personality and sense of humor continues to develop. Her default answer to just about everything is "no want it". One of our biggest daily struggles has to do with teeth-brushing. It takes two of us to pin her down and if the windows were open the neighbors would surely think we were torturing her. The pedi said to keep at it though and eventually she will relent.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 2:30 PM EDTWith all of the talk about feeding our toddlers table food and their varying degrees of pickiness - I thought I would share this article. My husband sent it to me the other day to try to keep me from getting too caught up in what DD eats at every single meal.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 3:23 PM EDTLove to read these!
DD turned 1 last week and had her 12 month app't. 19 lbs, 28 inches...so about the 20th percentile all around, but so amazing when I think that at this time last year she was 4 lbs 11 oz and 17.5 inches!
She's almost ready to walk...walks holding on with one hand and is an expert cruiser. She'll speed around the room from one piece of furniture to the next, and has become even more adventurous. She got a new doll for her birthday and when she saw it said "Bay-bay"...and says it over and over again! Loves that little doll, and will kiss and hug and rock it.
We made the switch to milk over the weekend...doing a bottle in the morning and evening, and sippy cups with meals. She's great with the sippy cup for water, but not as confident with it for milk, for some reason. Also have upped the "real" food...lots of toast with cheese and turkey, yogurt, grapes (peeled), strawberries, blueberries and bananas. Trying to get more variety into her diet, but it's hard! We had pot roast the other night...she rejected the meat and noodles, but loved the soft cooked baby carrots and apple sauce. And she will take a bite, if she likes the food, we hear a big "ummmmm"...if not, it get thrown.
And with her first birthday, it also means we're officially back on the TTC bandwagon. We'll see how it goes! I'm hopeful that having her will make me a little less obsessive about the TTC process this time, but can't guarantee that! Having her can certainly make it a little more of a challenge to get the job done!
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 6:41 PM EDTCwagner, definitely a common thing for parents to compare. My DS is the youngest in the toddler room at 12 1/2 months, and can't change positions (can't get to sitting from laying down or standing from sitting). But he can walk like a champ once you stand him up. The second youngest is almost 15 months and can pull himself up, but can't walk. So lots of variety at this 1-2 year age. BTW, love that the posts are all out of order. Trouble, congrats on a great maternity, and a great day pumping. What a relief! My biggest worry about eating is how much. He's slowly starting to try more things, but eats such a small amount. An example of dinner may be 2 raviolis maybe, one pouch of veggies/fruit and maybe half a Graham cracker. Seems such a small amount. He'll eat half a waffle for breakfast. I assume he gets enough because he's never complaining as if he's hungry. I try to keep offering but most ends up on the floor, even stuff i know he likes He's getting a guaranteed 10 oz milk in 2 bottles and maybe another 4 from his daily sippys. Still thinks those are for fun. Medford, great progress for your little one getting to sitting!
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/2/2011 8:25 PM EDTIt is definitely hard not to compare. I do it with DS and my niece as she is almost exactly a year older and I'm always asking my mom when did niece do this, when did she do that. Right now I am fixated on talking which is so silly. He will be 14 months Sat. and babbles a ton but really only says mama and dada and sometimes go over and over when he is running down the driveway.
IPW - I try not to worry too much about food as some days DS eats what seems like a ton and other days it seems like nothing. Don't forget in the toddler room he gets snacks too in addition to lunch. I know our daycare gives them a snack when they wake up from nap and often another snack if they are there long enough in the evening...so like 3pm and then again at like 4:30pm. And there is a morning snack around 9:30 too. Not sure if all daycares do this.
As I said DS will be 14 months on Sat. and I swear in the past week he has grown a lot. His pants seems so different and he just looks taller. He has been home with me all week because I have not had school at all. I could have sent him to daycare but I am hoping keeping him home will help him kick this cold he has had forever. Plus I just love being home with him.
I am so excited for the holidays. I love spending time with family and it will be so cool to see how DS is this year versus last year when he was only 2 months almost 3 months old.
I hope anyone still without power is fairing okay (I know they probably can't check this but I feel so bad having friends who are still without power and going crazy).
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 9:38 AM EDTThanks, IPW!
I also worry sometimes that the quantity of food seems so small. But reading some of the articles about it and hearing from you guys has made me feel better. It has also helped me that we cracked down on food throwing. The first time a food gets thrown, that food is All Gone. I think putting it away has helped me, strangely, to not focus on how much of it is left. The other thing that has helped me be more accepting is that she has learned to sign "all done"... I want to encourage the signing, so I acknowledge it right away. Before I would pick up on other cues, but if it seemed like she "should" eat more, I didn't always get the memo.
Quasi-related: I did the official "all done" sign forever and she never got it, or else if she did I couldn't tell. We started doing a sign where we brush our hands together (as if you were brushing crumbs off them) and she started doing it right away. Weird.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 10:46 AM EDTMedford, DD does that -- the hand brushing! We call it, "wash hands." She does a modified all done (no idea where she picked it up) wherein she kind of does a double wave at the food that's about to hit the floor. I have about 12 seconds to respond by cleaning it off her tray before it's hurled away.
See, I worry that I'm giving DD too much sometimes. She's a really good eater but I'm assuming she stops when she's full. Breakfast for her is usually half a Kashi waffle with greek yogurt spread on it, 1/4 of an avocado, then a couple of handfuls of fruit. I have a bento lunch thing from Skip Hop(http://www.skiphop.com/product/bentomealtimekit.html) that I send to daycare with her lunch (I usually put main course in one container, veggies in the second, and fruit in the third) and one of those three-compartment formula containers with her snack, plus two take & toss containers with crunchie -- Annie's bunnies or Cheerios. It seems like a lot, but the lunch & snack things come home empty. The crunchies are usually good for a few days; some days they don't even crack into them.
So today I sent her with that lunchbox with one container full of blueberries (6oz), the other with some leftover baked ziti & meatballs (half full, so 3oz), and a yo baby & Happy Baby pouch of some fruit/veggie combo. In the snack container she got teddy graham things, cut up grapes, and an ounce of cheese. She gets three bottles now (we dropped the a.m. bottle) with 4oz of milk cut with 4oz of water (b/c of her p**p struggles I add H2O)
I guess you just worry no matter what.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 11:07 AM EDTDS is 17 months and eats a ton but I worry that there is not enough variety. For breakfast he eats 1/2 - 1 whole banana, some apple slices and maybe a 1/2 slice of toast. At DC he will have 2 - 3 mini muffins (right now it is honey wheat pumpkin muffins sometimes apple oat muffins), then crackers, then for lunch he will have pasta or a half of a cheese and bean quesadilla with veggies then he eats almost an entire apple and orange, a small yogurt and a cheese stick before having a very light dinner - more apples, pasta, or a scrambled egg with cheese. I am running quickly out of meal ideas as he regularly refuses meats (chicken, pork, fish, or beef) and tofu. I hate that he eats pasta and or cheese for almost every meal but his snacks are healthy. He would happily subsist off of carrots, sw potatos, peas, apples, oranges, graham goldfish and dairy.

Thanks all! My kids are so easygoing they just make me look good. It also helps that I have the best DH in the world :)
Regarding food, in my experience (with my now 18 month old) eating has been such an evolution! The biggest problem we had was texture early on. I thought she was picky, but it turns out it was just a texture thing and she needed to get used to it. She's been on table food for months now, though I can't remember exactly when it started. She still does have rice cereal with fruit or veg mixed in for breakfast, 1/2 a sandwich and cut up fruit for lunch (which always takes AGES) and whatever we're having for dinner with maybe a baby bell or meatball and/or strawberries to supplement. She has also just about mastered the fork and eats off regular china, which is so cool!
Our biggest thing has been hydration. She has 3 5oz cups of milk, and we're trying to add in water. She LOVES to have "milk," which means drink to her, after a meal. So she has been getting a few ounces of water in an open cup after her meal. Usually it goes down well, but sometimes she plays (spills). We also offer her a sippy cup with water during the day.
I think all you can really do is keep trying. There will be good days and bad days, but as long as they keep having wet and BM diapers I think you're ok.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 12:53 PM EDTYeah, I worry about variety, too. Especially because our DD has been rejecting meat and beans. She was eating almost all fruit/starch/yogurt, but she has recently improved in vegetables. Protein still seems lacking to me, though. But we'll just keep with it.
She could live on those Annie's bunny crackers. Both cheddar and whole wheat are huge hits. I try and give her hummus with them so at least she has the aforementioned protein. And I'm going to try to think of creative ways to incorporate beans... since she loves hummus and has happily eaten the non-meat bits of pot pie and such in sauce, I think it's the texture of meat and beans she dislikes, not the flavor.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 12:57 PM EDTOoh, I'm getting so many good food ideas!! Routine as well as actual food items. Love the bean and cheese quesadilla idea. Also kashi waffles with yogurt spread on them - great idea since DD does NOT want me to feed her with a spoon anymore.
A friend was telling me yesterday (when I was expressing food woes) that her pedi said 1 tablespoon of food per meal per year old the baby is is enough. So, 1 tablespoon per meal for a 1 year old. She said more is fine, but that is enough. I thought that was interesting.
Oh - LLLE, for what it's worth, our pedi said last week that at this age (right around 1) it is normal for them to *maybe* have one or two words at most, if even that. DD only says "hi" "bye" and "daddy" (and 2 out of 3 are mispronounced :)
What I continue to find fascinating is the amount DD understands, and what she is able to communicate without words. She's recently started babbling in what sounds like a valid language. She'll gesture toward the gas fireplace and say what sounds like, "Where's the fire?", except in Swahili or some other language I don't speak. But I totally get that that's what she's asking, she even has the question-lilt at the end. Instead of just the "Uh?" she used to do. And now if we say, "Who's stinky?" or "who has tinkles?" she'll pat her diaper and grin at us! I have no idea where she got that.
It's all endlessly fascinating! Oh, and I had to let her CIO last night when she wouldn't go to bed, and wasn't THAT fun with my father-in-law (we're temporarily living with my in-laws), whose heart breaks when DD sniffles, the only other person home. I have to say, he was good about it, but I know it was taking all his strength to not rush up and rescue her.
ETA: I meant to say, love all of the updates!
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 12:58 PM EDTIt's so reassuring to hear what all of your kids are eating! I worry about portions, too...and about trying to get protein, fruits and veggies in to balance out the dairy and carbs that she'll always eat. I definitely have noticed that when I feed her, she seems to eat more than when DH does. I think he tends to feed her one item at a time, whereas I mix them up a little more (a piece of cheese toast, a bite of chicken, a grape or two, a slurp of veggie puree, repeat).
My biggest worry now is the milk thing. We've been giving her 5 oz bottles in the am and evening, and then at daycare she's given milk with lunch and snack in a sippy, but is having a hard time with the sippies, which baffles me b/c she's great with them for water!
It's hard, since up to 12 months they're "just practicing", but then the next day it's milk and food and it's "real" all of the sudden.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 2:16 PM EDTTrouble - You give me hope that I might be able to handle a baby and an 18 month old. We will be in the same position as you in May!
As for food - DD is a foodie. I am worried about her eating too much. She doesn't seem to have an off switch when she likes food. I already find that I am limiting her portions and she has a very healthy diet. She is gigantic. She is 32.5 inches (100 percentile) and 26 1/2 lbs (99 percentile). She towers over many of the toddlers and she is still in the infant room since she is 12 months!
She is walking around everywhere and I have heard her say several words here and there but she is really only consistent with mamma, dada, no no no, and I think she says her name. I have heard her say ball, dog, night night, bye bye but she is not consistent with these at all.
I agree it is TOTAL amazing what they understand. I said "ring ring get the phone" and she walked over to her toy with the phone picked it up and put it to her ear even though we were no where near it at the time.
I have given her, her first chore. Every night I tell her to put her socks in her hamper and she is really starting to do this. Too cute!!
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 2:17 PM EDTPoppy - I totally agree about what they can understand. Just today DS had something in his hand and I said oh lets put that in the trash and he walked over and threw it in. I didn't even know he knew what the trash was! He loves to play with his one puzzle and he brings me the board with one of the pieces. I ask him where it goes and he puts it in the right spot (though sometimes turned around) and when I say go get another piece he does and brings one back and does it again until the puzzle is done. So cool!!!
Glad CIO went okay last night! We have had to do it a couple times when DS wouldn't go to sleep too. I am trying hard at night not to go in if he wakes and makes noise. I have become such a light sleeper! I think I may have to go get those earplugs!
DS doesn't love protein either. He eats them just not much of them. He is a good veggie and fruit eater right now though so I feel lucky.
He usually has 3-4 sippies of milk a day (bf, lunch and dinner) and then water in a sippy at other times.
The tablespoon thing is interestingI hadn't heard that before. That doesn't seem like much. So is it a tablespoon of each food per meal...so a tablespoon of protein, a tablespoon of veg and then like a tablespoon of starch and possibly fruit? Just curious.

You know those mesh feeder thingies? When did y'all start using them? I was thinking DD is probably ready for that at 8+ months. What foods did you find worked well in there? Bananas and avocado come to mind.
I forgot to bring caps for my pump bottles today! I have to say I'm pretty impressed that I made it through 5+ months of being back at work without forgetting any parts until now.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 3:02 PM EDTIPW - meant to say congrats (to both you and DS) on the successful first day of daycare! So cute to picture him coming over for a quick, reassuring hug, then going back to play! Makes me melt.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/3/2011 3:28 PM EDTHappy November everyone!Med - I have two books with lots of pictures of babies that DD loves. Both are board books, one is I Love Colors by Margaret Miller, the other is a Spanish/English Happy Baby Colores/Colors from Priddy Books. (I went and looked up the books, I don'y have this memorized)For all the food related concerns, I've heard another way to visualize portions is that your stomach is only about the size of your balled up fist. You can stretch it to eat more, obviously, but babies can do well on the amount equal to their balled up fist, so a Tablespoon total doesn't seem to be that far off for a 12 month old.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/4/2011 6:44 AM EDTupdates sound great- it is amazing the progress they make in just a month.
DS just had his 15 month check up and is in the 90-95 percentile for hight/weight, etc. explains why he is wearing 2T stuff already. He is doing really well with sign language, but still not a lot of words...
Med we have a few baby books with pictures that are on feelings- I can't remember the names off the top of my head, but they have "happy babies" etc. I loved the rec for the album!! we have put family photos on the fridge in those plastic frames and DS points to them all the time.
IPW, we struggled with protein for a while. I am not sure why... but DS's new favorite is mozzarella sticks. not the cheese stick kind, but they breaded ones. I jokingly asked my pediatrician about DS's cholesterol given how much kielbasa the kid is eating... but it didn't seem to be a concern.
Fram- I tried a mesh feeder for the first time with strawberries- I can't remember the age but I stuck to the guidelines pretty carefully. DS hated them- got between himself and his food!! however, my goddaughter loved them, and her mom did a lot of other foods in them as well. so I think that it depending on what the little one is eating.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/4/2011 6:51 AM EDTwhat is going on with the boards? I typed my message in response to IPW's, but it appeared before it (and i didn't post at 645?). And I noticed that several other messages started with replies- I had to scroll down to find the OP. is everyone having this problem?
and it also seems like several of us have now experienced the "you can't post because you can't use the word ", which is really annoying. how are you supposed to change a word they don't tell you? really frustrating.
Re: November -- Infants and Toddlers
posted at 11/4/2011 7:02 AM EDTFram - We started using the mesh feeders around 7-8 months. Honestly, the only time we used them was when we were sitting down to dinner and we needed something to distract DD and make her feel like part of a meal.
Granted, we do not have a diswasher, but they are messy to clean up. It least once I tossed the mesh feeder because I couldn't get all the food out (I think it was mango).

Crash.Net NASCAR News
Newman's world turns upside down
2 November 2009
In April's race at Talladega Superspeedway, it was Ryan Newman's Chevrolet that launched Carl Edwards' Ford - which was already airborne - into the frontstretch catch fence.
Newman subsequently went on record as one of the most outspoken critics of NASCAR's seeming inability to keep the race-cars on the pavement.
On lap 185 of Sunday's Amp Energy 500 at Talladega, it was Newman's turn to tumble end over end – backward - when his car took off from the racing surface after contact in close quarters turned him sideways.
Newman's #39 Chevy landed on its roof - squarely on the hood of Kevin Harvick's car - slid hard into the outside wall and rolled down the banking to finish upside-down on the infield grass. After safety workers righted the car, they cut Newman from the wreck.
The incident only reinforced Newman's strong views.
"Pretty sore - just really disappointed," Newman said after his release from the infield care centre. "We had this race back here in the spring and complained about cars getting airborne, and now, ironically, I'm the guy that gets upside down.
"I had the roll bars down on top of my helmet and stuck upside down inside my U.S. Army Chevrolet."
A good portion of the race featured the cars racing in a long single-file train. Harvick talked about being on 'cruise control'. Another driver asked his team to 'tell me something to keep me awake'. The two big wrecks occurred in the final 10 laps.
"It's just disappointing," Newman said. "I wish NASCAR would do something. It was a boring race for the fans. That's not something anybody wants to see. At least I hope not. If they do, go home - because you don't belong here.
"It's just a product of this racing and what NASCAR has put us into with this box (rules) and these restrictor plates with these types of cars - you know, with the yellow line (no passing zone), no bump-drafting, no passing.
"Drivers used to be able to respect each other and race around each other. Richard Petty, David Pearson and Bobby Allison and all those guys have always done that. I guess they don't think much of us anymore."
Newman's teammate, Tony Stewart, meanwhile was also involved in the same wreck along with Elliott Sadler, Harvick, and Marcos Ambrose.
