The cure for cabin fever: get the family outdoors
Jan 23, 2013
There's a picture of me and my sisters in cheesy 70's snowsuit with our dad who had strapped the baby to his back; all of us on cross-country skis.

As a child you don't know the phrase "cabin fever", but as an adult you quickly learn that the kids will go nuts if you keep them cooped up during the long, cold winter months. As a result of a cooped-up whining child of my own, I was more than willing to shell out the exorbitant cost of private ski lessons for her just so I could get two hours of peace and silence up in the mountains. Though, I kindly dressed her in a cheesy 2010 version of a 70's style snowsuit.

From the time my son was about 6 months old until still now after a few good hours of sleep, he wakes up crying almost every hour. The doc had been saying all along it was normal, but I know its not. Now, doc is treating him for acid reflux but its only given him diahreah (sp?) and hasnt helped. He didn't do any testing for it either. My son sleeps with me and is very active in his sleep rolling all over the bed and hates to have his blanket on him.He even sleeps very lightly when napping and wakes half way thru crying. It's heartbreaking sometimes his sobs are unconsolable and I have to rock him back to sleep. Sometimes nursing helps him go back to sleep but he wakes up too much. His schedule is: up around 7:30am, nap around 10am for an hr or so. Nap around 3 for an hr and 1/2. Then bedtime around 8:30. I dont know what to do, and it's breaking my heart. I can only imagine how exhausted he must be. HELP!
My one year old wakes up crying every night.
My one year old is the SAME WAY, and has he stared to get any teeth yet?? cause a lot of the time my one year old wakes up screaming is cause the teeth are coming and and it REALLY hurts them. or it could be that he just has bad gas, a bad dream, i know its exhausting but just hang in there you guys will get there it in NO time at all, and GOOD LUCK

Robert, You are our sunshine, our moonlight, and our WORLD! we love you sooooo much baby boy! <3 <3
Thanks for any help...What exactly are night terrors? And a baby can have them? I don't know if that could be it...? Also, this has been going on for 6 months, and yes some of that time he has been teething, but not all of it. Plus I give him tylenol during teething times as doc advised, so that should comfort him. He seems to be in pain when he wakes up this way, suddenly crying or screaming out and jolting his body back and stiffening up & pushes me away. A few times a night he wakes just to nurse and that is so comforting as I think that's normal, but not the night crying. Is there nothing I can do? He's so happy during the day, just naps and bedtime are awful for him. My instincts tell me something must be wrong, but he's my first baby, so I could be wrong.
Oh, one more thing, I give him gas drops and dont think its gas. The doc has prescribed another med since zantac didnt work, but I'm hesitant to try it as the last one didnt work and I hate to put prescriptions in my baby that are unnecessary.(he didnt do any tests, just thinks it could be reflux) He moans a lot too, the nurse at docs told me thats how he communicates pain as he cant tell me specifically what's wrong.I sound paranoid, don't I? I just don't know what to do or how to stop this so he sleeps thru the night with just the occassionally nursing.
I had this problem with my LO starting at 6 months and lasting until 9 months when we discovered she wasn't getting enough milk to drink/food to eat. I was BF her and my milk had dried up so she was pretty much going hungry. Not saying this is what's going on, just offering another idea to consider.

Due 6/17/2015!
Don't be scared to ak i am a first time mom as well, adn i know that i still need A LOT of help with my 1 year old. maybe try the other prescription just one night and see if it seems to work a little bit, have you introduced solids?? try giving him a banana before you BF him and see maybe if that helps. just hang in there you guys well be FINE, when he wakes up and pushes you away lay next to him and talk soothing to him tell him you are there and you love him, and you will always be there for him, thats what i do with my son when he wakes up screaming his head off and it seems to work a little bit. is his doctor a peditritaion (SP?) maybe go see a diff one if so.
RjsParents3-10-10 <3 of our life!
Robert, You are our sunshine, our moonlight, and our WORLD! we love you sooooo much baby boy! <3 <3
Thanks for everyone who's trying to help. No he wasn't colicy, and actually quite happy during the day which is another reason this is so disturbing to me. Now I know what night terrors are and they sound horrible! His doc is a pediatrician... He seems to eat enough...actually, I started feeding him solids at 6 months and continue to nurse him at nap time and just before bed... since I now realize that it's been happening as long as he's been eating solids, maybe he isn't eating enough or maybe it is the reflux problem and I should try the next prescription. Geez, thanks for the support, this is so hard and discouraging that I can't make him better.
I would suggest trying the new prescription. My LO has reflux and the zantac wasn't working either and we started a new prescription. Don't be surprised if takes about a week and a half to two weeks to start noticing a difference. It is working very well for her now although she still wakes up once a night I am noticing she is starting to go longer and longer and maybe soon she will be STTN again. We had other issues to sort out as well though. I hope the new med works for you!
My LO has the same problem(s). We thought it was gas and would give her OTC Simethicone, but that didn't really address the issue. We thought she might be hungry so we would try to feed her but she would drink more than a few ounces on most nights. I have to caveat that our LO isn't a big milk drinker, matter of fact, she hates milk. However, last night we tried baby Tylenol and she actually slept without crying for like 5 hours! She woke up crying but then my wife gave her milk and then she slept again till the morning. I don't know what to attribute this to or if this was a one off event. Either ways I'm thinking she was tired and aching. so we're going to try and give her a massage before her nightly bath to see if that helps.

I had planned on coming on here to post a massive update yesterday; I went into work and when I came home my computer had shut it's self off. Turning it on; it went into the System Recovery screen; to try and fix a "fatal error"
I had not gotten a chance to back up ANY of my files; so instead of a temporary slow down on production; I will now have to stop producing this for now. Hopefully I will come back and start it up again in the future. But, for now, after losing over 30 outdoor maps; and four towns worth of indoor maps/Gyms; and all of the custom tiles/character sprites I had recently made. I cannot bring my self to restart production at this time.
However, if I ever do come back and try to produce this again; it will have the same base features. No rival; Antagonist/Protagonist, 18 Gyms; with 6 Archetypes. And Eevee as the only Pokemon to Evolve using Stones.
To my few followers; sorry; I'll still be active in the community; but I am done for now.

What would the sail barge do?
explode spectacularly after Luke gets his Jedi hands on it :D
If you look it close, you will see how it has three turrets more than the original design from Warb_Null and additional guns around the sail barge where you can see the open windows.
is this the same concept as the one in the battlefront guns just curious
That sail barge looks really nice!
This looks sweet.

There is at least one reason why Brommie resale values are so high: Reliability. It's my understanding that component fail rates are fairly low on Brommies but fairly high on Dahon, with better parts support from Brompton as far as availability and delivery. I have no objective data to back this up, though, so pure speculation.
The Brommie is the ultimate multimodal commuter IMHO: Tiny fold, lifetime bike, incremental engineering. It does not excel at all things. Gearing can be limited and riding position can be wonky for some riders.

About Cooperativa San Jose
This loan is administered by
Cooperativa San Jose
, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by
providing a less onerous and more appropriate option

I ate a hamburger today and the middle was pretty pink. Of course I thought it was fine while I was eating it but now after the fact I'm very worried. I'm 18 weeks pregnant. What are the chances of me getting any kind of bacteria (e.coli, listeria, toxoplasmosis, etc) from it?? And how will I know I've hurt the baby if I have?? thanks for any info!

Don't worry, everything is fine! All meat in the U.S is USDA inspected so the chance of you getting a dangerous bacteria is rare. Its always a good rule of thumb to make sure all your meat is cooked thoroughly but if you don't get food poisoning in 6 hours after you ate the raw burger, you're most like;y not going to get sick.

Hall of Fame voting hardly cut and dried
Originally Published: August 3, 2010By Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
Perhaps no element elicits more passion among NFL fans than commenting on, or opining about, some particular player's prospects for future induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
That was made clear (again) to this correspondent following Friday's rather nondescript but perhaps too-careful Tip Sheet assessment that retired Seattle Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones, whose balky knee forced him to limp away from the game this spring, is a potential Hall of Fame member.

FBI Report Indicates Decrease in Hate Crimes

An annual report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on December 8 reveals that reported hate crime incidents decreased from 6,573 to 5,928, the lowest number of reported hate crimes since the first year of reporting in 1991. However, civil rights groups remain concerned about the ongoing problem of underreporting, which makes it hard to get an actual picture of the scope of the problem year to year.

Why is Buchholz untouchable?
posted at 1/12/2009 5:43 PM ESTLet's not focus on Michael Young. I'll Take Prince Fielder.
I am advocating shipping Clay and some "hot" major league prospects for an impact bat.
Fair enough, but the idea that an aging SS with a .741 OPS making $16M is an impact bat is ludicrous. And to compare Fielder with with Young is crazy as well. One is a power bat making close to minimum who we may or may not need, and the other is one of the most overpaid players in the league. If he were put on waivers, no one would pick him up. But you'd fork over our top prospect for him?

The slant you put on the Santana negotiations is drivel. Santana would have cost much more than just Bucholz. His 136mill contract for one. Great non deal by the sox. We reaped the benefits of that "non-trade" by the great seasons of Lester, Masterson and Lowrie. I cant imagine that you would make the Santana deal for the prospects. We are paying Bucholz 400k!! We have him under contract for 6 yrs. Santana makes 23mill.
This is a great post. The Sox can afford to be patient because of the type of organization they have developed. It is great for the fans!
I have a question...Why do some on this board continue banging the drum for Santana? The Sox' organization has made it clear that they don't give huge money and crazy years to pitchers because those types of contracts can cripple the club on the backend...especially because starting pitchers get injured. Since I know this from my home in NJ, why is anyone else surprised that the team did not make the deal? In addition to the money and years, prospects were to be involved. This is a business decision they have made and a business model that they follow even when fans complain. It has served us all well to this point. We need to move on to other topics and hope Clay blossoms in 2009...or 2010 since he is still a kid.

Apparently, most of these guys know more about pitching than John Farrell (i.e. the guy that Smoltz is excited to getting to work with). Perhaps, the Sox are wasting their money on Farrell and should be hiring a few of the posters on this board, instead? Then, we can trade away our young pitchers who don't win 20 games (i.e. ALL of them); sign more $150m+ pitchers; and match up financially with that team from new york. What's a draft pick?

Could Clay Buchholz and Michael Bowden be the "unproven players" while Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Taylor Teagarden are the "big time prospects"?

posted at 1/13/2009 3:45 AM ESTBaseball history is full of players who pitched one great game, or even had one great month or season, only to end up being a bust. I'm not saying Buchholtz will be a bust, but I would guess the odds are still under 50%, he never reaches #2/3 starter status. It's a gamble to trade him or keep him. I still think Buc and Ells for Santana was the once in a lifetime deal that had to be done, Theo blew it, now we are looking at Salty? PLEASE!

posted at 1/13/2009 3:47 AM ESTThrowing a no-hitter simply means the pitcher was historically outstanding on that one day. Maybe the opposition just had a bad day. A win is a win in MLB. A pitcher is hired to win consistently , not pitch one no-no. Dice-K is a good example of a pitcher who is not often dominating, i.e. lights out, but who gets the job done.
Why is Buchholz untouchable?
posted at 1/13/2009 5:06 AM ESTLaw2005: Its time to trade Buchholz before what I am saying about him becomes common knowledge around MLB. Epstein and the Sox FO can leak stories about other players with diminished skills (Varitek) to drive their value down...but they can't be honest about the ones that really are a wash (Buchholz). Irony?
Everyone read that story in the Globe last Spring with the Bucholz quotes that you read, don't you think that it is common knowledge.
Also the whole world can read newspapers, baseball-reference.com and watch games on TV to see Varitek's diminished skills. Leaks would be redundant.
If everything you said about Bucholz was common knowledge and IT ISthen why would any team desire him in a trade. The logic and reasoning could be overcomed by a 4th grade kid. Obviously you are just looking for attention because nobody can be that dumb.

Globe Staff / July 12, 2008
Standing on the mound, his first time back in the majors in two months, Clay Buchholz was uneasy. He knew he had been sent down to Triple A to find his way, find his fastball, and last night was his first chance to show manager Terry Francona and the rest of the Red Sox he is ready to rejoin the rotation. But he didn't look ready at the start, not with his first-inning jitters.
"I think most of it was nerves," Buchholz said. "I hadn't been that nervous in a long time that I recall.
"Trying to impress. Being down in Triple A, knowing that I was sent down there to work on some stuff, trying to show that I got better down there, trying a little bit too hard."
It showed. "I thought the first inning, I thought he looked nervous, a little jumpy," Francona said. "Just feeling like he has a lot to prove."

He can be the next great pitcher and thats why Theo won't trade him away for a unproven player,hell he wouldn't trade him away for Santana!! So that in itself should tell you how high he ranks in Theo's mind!!![/Quote]
Buchholz is having a rough time but he's also very young. And his stuff is truly exceptional. There aren't many pitchers/prospects with his type of movement and arsenal. I was listening to Greg Maddux talk this morning about his first two years in the majors where he went 8-18. He had to find the right delivery/grip to master his pitches and movement properly. He said it took him two years and the right pitching coach. Not saying this is what Buch needs to do, but his stuff is truly special. Unless there is currently a great swap opportunity on the market, I'm for keeping him another season.

In his first 8 starts, he had an ERA of 2.38.
In his next 7 starts, his ERA was 7.75, with a BAA of .364 and an OPS of .971. That's shaky. There is no doubt about it.
In Buchholz' first 9 starts, his ERA was 3.02. In his next 9 starts, his ERA was 9.22.
This is not a shot at Lester or an endorsement of Buchholz, as much as the recognition that very few pitchers escape going through a rough patch.

By doing that it makes them, at first glimpse, more credible or believable and some cannot distinguish them from real Red Sox fans. By doing this pretending they turn real Red Sox fans against real Red Sox critics. The real Red Sox critics are painted with the same brush as Yankee trolls, so they are successful in dividing and conquering the enemy. Their victory will be that the forum will be vacant in time.

Thanks, for that. We need more patient Sox fans on this board. It's obvious to me by reading a lot of these posts that many impatient Sox fans would have traded Lester, Youk, Paps, Ells, Lowrie, Pedey, and about every one in AAA/AA just to acquire a journeyman who had a big year.

We can use the same logic with all awards (e.g. no-hitter; Cy young). So, throwing this out was not as persuasive as you might choose to believe. How convenient you left out what else we'd have given up to acquire Santanna- not to mention the huge salary that he'd be getting.
Buch is not a head case. He's a young man trying to put it altogether. Fenway Park is a very imposing place. Most of us would have trouble throwing out the first ball (if chosen). Of course, you know better than John Farrell.

Olmert: Nobody will determine Israel's right to defend itself
Livni: Gaza battle isn`t one-time conflict, won't end in accord; state vows to press ahead with op.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday that no external body would ever be allowed to determine Israel's right to defend itself against security threats.
"We have never agreed that someone should decide for us if we are allowed to strike at those who bomb kindergartens and schools and we will never agree to this in the future," he told ministers during the Cabinet's weekly meeting in Jerusalem. "No decision, present or future, will deny us our basic right to defend the residents of Israel.
"For three weeks now, the State of Israel has been making an impressive military effort in the Gaza Strip in order to change the security situation in the south of the country," said the prime minister.
"For many years we've demonstrated restraint. We reined our reactions. We bit our lips and took barrage after barrage. No country in the world - not even those who preach morality to us ? would have shown similar patience and self-control," he told ministers.
"At the end of the day, the sense of responsibility and the obligation to defend our citizens, after endless warnings, led us to the unavoidable decision to defend our children and our residents whose lives had become intolerable," he added.
Olmert vowed that the Israel Defense Forces would press on with its offensive against Hamas in Gaza, asserting that Israel was close to achieving its goals.
"Israel is approaching the goals it set for itself, but another effort is needed, and determination, in order to change the security reality in the South and to bring security to the citizens," Olmert said.
The prime minister's comments came after Israeli soldiers advanced into densely-populated Gaza City on Sunday, reportedly killing at least 10 Palestinian gunmen.
Olmert added that, "We must not miss at the last moment what has been achieved in an unprecedented national effort. The Israeli public has willingness and patience for this, as does the government."
The prime minister said Israel had rejected a United Nations resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza on the grounds that "sharply rules out continued attacks directed against civilians and does not forbid urgent action against them."
He also said Israel's military had already made great sacrifices in the Gaza fighting, in which 10 soldiers have so far died.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak also addressed the cabinet, telling them that the IDF was continuing to operate in order to prevent smuggling through the Philadelphi route along the Gaza-Egypt border.
"The IDF is operating in the Gaza Strip and in parallel, the diplomatic channel is being examined. There is no contradiction between these things," Barak said.
Livni: Gaza battle isn`t one-time conflict, won't end in accord Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said Sunday that Israel's war with Hamas is not a one-time conflict that will end with an agreement.
Speaking during a joint press conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Jerusalem, Livni said that, "Hamas regrets the day they decided to intensify the rocket fire on Israel under the assumption that we would show restraint."
"We need to understand that on the day after [Operation Cast Lead] we must prevent Hamas from rearming, because we cannot allow a scenario in which Hamas understands that it cannot fire, but allows itself to stock up on weapons," she added.
"We are in midst of a struggle against terrorism, and it is not a one-time conflict," she said.
This is not a conflict that will end with an agreement. We embarked on this campaign with the intent of achieving military goals and in order to clarify that we will not put up with this situation any longer. We set out to change the equation. Israel is responding with force, and considerable force at that," Livni added.
"I would like to thank the [German] minister for displaying understanding for our situation and for his willingness to help in preventing smuggling in the future."
On Friday, the security cabinet decided to continue Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip, but not expand it at this stage. In the coming days Israel will focus its military and diplomatic efforts on pressuring Egypt to work toward the Israeli and international demand to deploy an international force to combat smuggling from Egypt to Gaza.
Palestinian sources told Haaretz that Cairo demanded Saturday morning that the militant group respond to its cease-fire proposal within 48 hours. Egypt warned that if Hamas rejects its offer, Egypt would be unable to stop Israel from continuing its ground offensive.
Senior officers in the Israel Defense Forces told Haaretz that for further achievements, the army will have to expand the operation by at least 20 days and include reserve units in the fighting. A senior officer in Gaza said Hamas' capabilities were gradually eroding and that the group had lost more than 300 militants from its armed wing since the ground operation began.
Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry's political-security branch, will travel this week, most likely on Monday, for talks in Cairo with the head of the Egyptian security services. A Hamas delegation Saturday arrived in the Egyptian capital for similar talks.
Source: Amos Gilad to only discuss smuggling with Egyptians
A political source in Jerusalem said Gilad was instructed to address only smuggling into Gaza, and not other issues related to renewing a cease-fire with Hamas.
In Friday's cabinet meeting, Gilad told ministers that Egypt understands the need to stop smuggling, but that a program for doing so had not yet been formulated. "They are willing to sign on to deal with the issue, and we will continue talking with them until we reach a practical solution," he said.
Still, Gilad reportedly remarked recently that "the Egyptians are great at making efforts, but not at achieving results."
A high-level Israeli political source said Friday that without a solution to the smuggling including an effective supervisory system on the Egyptian border, the Gaza operation will not be brought to an end.
Israel made clear in talks with officials representing the United States, France, Germany and other countries that only a solution including an international presence on the Egyptian side of the Philadelphi route will satisfy Israel and allow it to end the offensive.
Defense officials have noticed heightened Iranian involvement in Hamas' activity in the Strip. It appears the group's leadership has received promises from Tehran to "fill up the warehouses," possibly even with longer-range rockets, if it continues hostilities with Israel.
Meanwhile, Damascus-based politburo chief Khaled Meshal Saturday rejected outright the option of allowing an international force at the Egyptian border, whether representing an Arab or any other foreign country.
Israel has "finished off the last chance and breath for settlement and negotiations," he said in a televised speech from the Syrian capital.
Also Saturday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas criticized Hamas, saying the Palestinian people did not want to engage in "resistance" that will destroy them. He called for an international force to be deployed to Gaza immediately to protect its residents.
