New research explains 'why fathers really matter'
What a man eats prior to puberty could have a significant effect on his child's well-being years later, according to new research based on the study of epigenetics. In this article from The New York Times, Judith Shulevitz looks at the impact a man's health has on his future family, concluding that "what a man needs to know is that his life experience leaves biological traces on his children."
Motherhood begins as a tempestuously physical experience but quickly becomes a political one. Once a woman's pregnancy goes public, the storm moves outside. Don't pile on the pounds! Your child will be obese. Don't eat too little, or your baby will be born too small. For heaven's sake, don't drink alcohol. Oh, please: you can sip some wine now and again. And no matter how many contradictory things the experts say, don't panic. Stress hormones wreak havoc on a baby's budding nervous system.
All this advice rains down on expectant mothers for the obvious reason that mothers carry babies and create the environments in which they grow. What if it turned out, though, that expectant fathers molded babies, too, and not just by way of genes?
Biology is making it clearer by the day that a man's health and well-being have a measurable impact on his future children's health and happiness.

A fixed-lag Kalman smoother can be used for target trajectory reconstruction in postmission data analysis from noisy sensor data, where lag is the time difference between the time of the latest available measurement (or the latest measurement used for estimation) and the time of the smoothed estimate. Based on the steady-state conditions of a Kalman smoother, a recursive method for calculating the steady-state gains and covariance matrix of a fixed-lag alpha-beta smoother is derived and presented. The equations derived for the alpha-beta fixed-lag smoother were verified using a Kalman smoother in steady-state, and the results are used to characterize the benefits achieved with fixed-lag smoothing.

Your Baby Is 11 Weeks Old!
You've probably noticed by now, but your weight loss and baby's gain aren't exactly occurring at the same rate. In fact, if you're healthy about it, losing the baby weight will take about as long as it did to gain it — in other words, you've got a good six months to go. The good news here? No one's expecting you to be back to your prebaby weight anytime soon. Take it slow, and eat balanced meals that include fruit, veggies, and protein. Being a new mom requires far too much energy to play with fad diets and quick weight-loss schemes!

Playtime pal
Baby loves listening to nursery rhymes, looking at books, and playing with you...but he's into everything else going around him too. Watch for signs that baby's losing interest during playtime — if he looks away, closes his eyes, or shows irritation while you're in the middle of singing "This Little Piggy" and wiggling his toes, he's telling you that he's just not that into your game at the moment. Let him have some down time when he wants it — just like you, he sometimes needs a break.

By Ms. Angela Kershner (USARPAC)August 20, 2014
DHAKA, Bangladesh -- Over 150 civil and military authorities convened at the Lakeshore Hotel in Dhaka Monday to kick off the largest humanitarian assistance and disaster relief exercise held annually in Bangladesh.
The 2014 Pacific Resilience (PR) Disaster Response Exercise & Exchange (DREE) is an engagement between the Government of Bangladesh and U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) that promotes emergency preparedness. The PR DREE runs from Aug. 18-21 at numerous locations throughout Dhaka including the Fire Service and Civil Defence Training Academy and the airfield at Tejgaon. This is the fifth annual PR DREE, an engagement that enhances the steadfast relationship between the governments of Bangladesh and the United States.
"The geographical location and topographical features of Bangladesh have made us vulnerable for all kinds of natural disasters," said Mesbah ul Alam, Secretary of the Bangladesh Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief. "Cyclones, flood…and drought are natural disasters that could happen. Historical instances in Bangladesh and adjoining areas indicate that Bangladesh is vulnerable to earthquake damage."
PR DREE is structured to increase disaster preparedness, response capabilities and civilian-military coordination in the face of a large scale natural disaster. This year's PR DREE will specifically exercise plans, equipment and personnel between the two countries to increase readiness for earthquake response and recovery in Dhaka City.
Should a large scale earthquake hit the most populous city in Bangladesh, it is estimated that 70,000 buildings would collapse, causing the death, injury and entrapment of thousands of people.
"The mind cannot even begin to fathom a disaster of this magnitude, but fathom it we must," said Dan Mozena, U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh. "We simply must think the unthinkable, imagine the unimaginable, prepare for the disaster of all disasters."
In recent years, the Government of Bangladesh has taken numerous preparedness initiatives, implemented mitigation measures like hazard and risk analysis, land use regulations, and increased training, said Alam.
PR DREE provides a platform for collaboration to ensure that preparedness is an ongoing effort. Though it is led by Bangladesh Armed Forces Division (AFD) and USARPAC, PR DREE involves the critical support of numerous civilian institutions. Without civil-military interoperability, disaster management will be slower and less effective. The PR DREE 2014 aims to unite all necessary stakeholders to ensure disaster management is maximized through effective engagement, planning and practice. Through this coordination and management, all responders will be more prepared to counter the impacts a large-scale earthquake that may affect Bangladesh.
Monday's activities included an opening ceremony a series of presentations regarding the possible effects of a large scale earthquake on Dhaka, the roles of various agencies and organizations in a combined response, and the numerous logistical issues that would be encountered. Subject matter experts from the Bangladesh Department of Disaster Management, Bangladesh Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP), U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), the International Committee of the Red Cross, United Nations Office for the Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA), World Food Programme (WFP), and BBC Media Action were among those presenting materials in preparation for the exercise portions of the PR DREE.
"DREE will validate the plans that the government, civil society and other stakeholders have in place for responding to disaster," said Mozena. "Most especially, DREE will assess the effectiveness of these plans in addressing their critical need for effective communications."
On Tuesday, a Table Top Exercise (TTX) at the Fire Service and Civil Defence Training Academy will present participants with the scenario details and several questions, testing their various areas of expertise. The TTX will lead into the Field Training Exercise (FTX), which will expand on the TTX scenario. On Wednesday, the FTX will include several other locations in Dhaka in order to simulate some of the different logistical obstacles that will arise should a large scale earthquake hit the city. Following the exercises, an After-Action Review (AAR) will be held to identify issues that need to be addressed in future iterations of the PR DREE.
"I applaud the Government of Bangladesh for its deep commitment to engaging on preparations for a large scale earthquake," Mozena said. "And I am proud that America is Bangladesh's partner in making these preparations."
The primary themes of this year's PR DREE are logistics, emergency public communication, and media affairs. Logistical topics will address foreign humanitarian assistance considerations; the reception and dissemination of aid, first responders, and injured; prioritization of land, air and sea space; and management of logistical supplies. Communication considerations will focus on civil-military interoperability; alerting and informing the public; joint information management; and media partnerships. Other topics, such as engineering, medical, Urban Search & Rescue (USAR) and disaster coordination, will also be included in the exercise.
U.S. participants in this year's PR DREE include: USARPAC, Oregon National Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps. Bangladesh participants include: Armed Forces Division, Fire Service and Civil Defence, Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Communication, Department of Disaster Management, Civil Aviation Association of Bangladesh, Dhaka City Corporation and Sylhet. International and national agency participants include: Bangladesh Red Crescent Society, CARE Bangladesh, United Nations -- OCHA, WFP, World Health Organization, BBC Media Action, and the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme.
Pacific Resilience is USARPAC's main platform for sharing best practices and lessons learned across the HA/DR spectrum to enhance all parties' abilities to respond and recover from an emergency situation. It is designed to grow and reinforce capacity through scenarios that simulate reality, identify procedural gaps, and practice techniques required for efficient and collaborative response by civilian and military authorities. PR is anchored on HA/DR operations and the integration of all first responder communities. It practices how militaries support civilian authorities when requested during disaster situations, the reception and dissemination of foreign humanitarian assistance and the strategic communication required to successful execute emergency management plans. It does all of these things in full partnership between civilian and military institutions. To date, PR DREEs have been held in six countries since 2000. In 2015 there are plans for five PR DREEs: Bangladesh, Nepal, Mongolia, Lower Mekong Basin, and Papua New Guinea.

My buddies and I at work were debating which type of QB will sustain in years to come. It's funny because most men that are 32 and older think the old school passing Qb will sustain (Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Flacco, Manning, etc, and those 32 and younger feel that the new scrambling QB will prevail (RG3, Kaep, Wilson)
Both make great arguments, but I wonder which one will. With injuries, not many scrambling first QB's have won the SB. I mean I keep hearing Steve Young, but i dont think Young was on the same level or speed as Wilson, RG3 or Kaep. I personally feel he was a pocket passer that could run. Instead of a running QB that could pass. (just my opinion now)
I mean I personally think that this new class of Wilson, RG3, Kaep, and a few others will just be a sign of the times, like the Wildcat. Not taking anything away from what they bring to the table. Because the likes of finding an RG3, or Kaep, or Wilson, are far and few between.
I just feel that eventually the league will figure out the read option, just like the wildcat a few years ago, and we'll go right back to the foundation of NFL. And thats with the pocket passing QB.
I will say on NFL network, ESPN, etc. They all talk about this subject and im curious as to what some of you think?

I have a folder full of
.gz files and would like to serve them transparently inflated if requested by a client that does not send
Accept-Encoding: gzip in the request and as-is (
gzip'd) otherwise.
I know there is the
HttpGzipStaticModule module, but that only solves one part of the problem. The files will only be stored as
.gz, so there won't be an inflated version there for
nginx on the file system. This shouldn't be a performance issue, since inflate is fairly light on CPU and RAM.
What method can I use to inflate the
.gz file on-the-fly and serve it back to the client? Do I have to script it and use a rewrite or is there something builtin that I just haven't found as of yet?

A Seymour woman had to wait at least two extra days to give birth to her baby boy as a result of a power outage Tuesday at Schneck Medical Center.
Tiffany Wayt said her appointment to be induced at the Seymour hospital was set for 6 a.m. that day, but she received a call around 4:20 a.m. and was told her appointment needed to be rescheduled.
That's because power at the hospital went out around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday due to what hospital officials say was a failed breaker panel.

We will see the price drop this week along with the overall market. Euro down to 1.29 and CEO stated that for their 4th qtr projections to be met they are assuming a euro level of 1.40. It hasn't been 1.40 since beginning of Nov.The pound has been much weaker since beginning of Nov. as well and things will only get worst across the pond.Gallop poll has our unemployment much worse than even what was released on Friday by govt.

I have worked with Kathy for several years taking injured birds in for her care. She cares about each and every one and the quality of care is excellent. And somehow she finds the time to teach the general public about wild life, especially birds. She is just excellent with kids--entertaining while educating. Her devotion to wildlife is extraordinary

Thank you so much to Kathy and Phoenix Wildlife Center not only for helping wildlife in need, but also for educating the public how to co-exist with wildlife and helping to train new area rehabilitators. Since 2008, Kathy has been taking Lights Out Baltimore birds found in downtown Baltimore city injured after colliding with glass and windows. Lights Out Baltimore volunteers collect data on the number of birds are killed in the downtown Baltimore area through collisions with glass. She has helped over 200 birds in need just through Lights Out Baltimore (and even found a wonderful home for a stray kitten we found). These 200 birds/one cat is only the tip of the iceberg, Phoenix Wildlife Center gets a steady stream of calls from the general public. Thank you to Phoenix Wildlife Center for its extremely important work and tireless efforts to help animals in need.

Late friday night, my girlfriend and I saw an opossum standing in the middle of the road. From the blood on it and the ground it was obvious that it had been hit by a car. We turned around and tried to wave cars around while we tried to figure out what to do. not all the drivers saw us trying to wave them over and the opossum got hit at least two more times. We called our local animal control and their after hours message directed us to call 911 for injured wild animals. The officer who came helped us move the opossum to the bushes on the side of the road 'to let nature take its course.' We were all sure the 'possum was on its last legs. When we checked back in the morning it was still there and still alive and breathing. We had to do something. We called a few local rescue groups and were directed to call the Phoenix Wildlife Center by one of their answering machines. We called and kathy picked up and told us how to get it safely and bring it right over to get checked out. When we got there she not only took the opossum in, she let us see the first part of the treatment of his wounds. We also learned that our fears of rabies should have been much lower and were educated on the finer points of opossum handling. We are looking forward to finding out the 'possum's outcomes in a few days and were quite amazed at Kathy's knowledge of wild animal trauma care. If we'd known what we have learned last night, that poor little opossum would'nt have gotten hit even once more and we could've had him bustled off to the phoenix center first thing.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and grateful that we were willing to help by bringing them an injured wild animal.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
grow into a state wide network of dedicated employees, volunteers and community members all working together to keep our native wildlife from being so badly impacted by the encroachment of people.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

I wanted to share a look with you today featuring some new, as well as existing, products from Pür Cosmetics. This complete look was done with only the products listed below with the addition of a bit of concealer under my eyes. This look includes: Pür Eye Polish Eye Base and Top Coat in Satin ($26 US/$32 CAD) - This unique product has a very wet formula in tub that dispenses the product via a mesh cover. It can be used as an eyeshadow base or alone for a beautiful metallic finish. I used it in this look on my lid and
The Benefit Real Cheeky Party Blushing Beauty Kit ($42 US/$54 CAD) for Holiday 2015 is one of the season's gifting must haves. If you missed out on last year's Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Box o' Blushes then you will want to get your hands on this set before it sells out. I'm not sure if they are more prepared for the demand this year, since last year's kit sold out so quickly, but better safe than sorry. The packaging is so fun this year. Bright green and pink with a polka dot party theme. The palette is a very sturdy tin and
The Clinique Fall 2015 Collection is all about fabulous eyes and brows. Make your eyes the centre of attention with these new releases.

It is available in Jumbo Jet (Black) as well as four limited edition colours Portly Plum, Two Ton Teal, Massive

I love felt tip liquid liners but usually waterproof liquid liners have that latex rubbery texture once they dry
I may not have been that excited about the release of the 50 Shades of Grey movie but I was certainly excited about MAKE UP FOR EVER's partnership with the movie and the makeup sets they launched to celebrate it's release. Today I am sharing with you the MAKE UP FOR EVER Give In To Me Alluring Color for Eyes & Lips Set ($79 CAD) which is a collection of gorgeous makeup in a beautiful keepsake box.

The Marsala Metalshine Liquid Liner ($18 US/$23 CAD) is one of the most striking ways to wear the colour of the year from the SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE 2015 Colour of the Year Marsala 18-1438 Capsule Collection. This long-wearing liquid liner delivers a bold swipe of Marsala at the lash line with a striking metallic finish. The exterior packaging features a transparent marsala ombre effect. It is really quite lovely. Things get even prettier when you open up the exterior packaging to reveal the product packaging itself. All
One of my favourite Holiday 2014 collections is the Lise Watier Aurora Winter 2014 Collection. The collection is inspired by the beautiful natural phenomenon that graces our northern Canadian night skies, the Aurora Borealis. Everything from the stunning packaging to the shades in the collection are influenced by the sweeping colours of the northern lights. The packaging on the compacts is a shimmering blue, purple and teal duo chrome finish with sweeping bands of multicoloured glitter. It is so pretty. The limited edition Lise
This week the Beauty Blogger Top Ten Team is sharing with you some Alternatives to Traditional Black and Brown Eyeliners. Now since we are focusing on alternatives not polar opposites I decided that rather than feature fun and bright liners I am going to focus on intense, dark shades that still give the depth and intensity to the lashline that a black or brown eyeliner would but with a little more panache. I accidentally included 17 liners as opposed to 10 because, well, I simply totally forgot I was doing ten and just reached for
Inspired by the film Jupiter Ascending the new starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum. This limited edition Pür Minerals Jupiter Ascending Collection ($29 US/$35 CAD) recreates Jupiter Jones' signature look with six new, exclusive eye shadows, a light-up lip gloss with touchup mirror, and liquid precision eyeliner. The packaging of this boxed collection is beautiful. I didn't realize how dazzling and sparkling it was until I got it out into the sunshine. The box slides out to reveal the 6 shade eyeshadow palette, lipgloss,
Dior is releasing it's first ever Pre-Fall Collection.

Penn Station Garbage Food May Get Slightly Less Garbage-y
The commuter hub is slated for a restaurant upgrade.
Penn Station, New York's premier transit hub atop the mouth of hell, is notorious for its garbage food options, such as a sad, filthy Pizza Hut and a Krispy Kreme selling radioactive, glazed crullers. But in the next few months, many of the vendors at the station are expected to be replaced with new restaurants peddling actually edible food. We won't miss you, TGI Fridays.

|View Poll Results: Who was born first?
|Baby A
|Baby B
|Multiple Choice Poll. Voters: 2. You may not vote on this poll
|Thread Tools
So, until reading mamalove3's thread the other day (CONGRATS!!!!) I had NO idea that baby B could be born first. I dont know how I missed that, but I've never seen any article or anything that talked about it. So, this whole time I've been in the camp of "if baby A is head down we're all good" and now I have to worry about two babies.
So, moms of twins, was baby B presenting? Answer multiple times if you have had multiple twin pregnancies, or if you know a mama who has birthed baby B first, answer for her too. Thanks!!!!

I don't know how to answer this because when I asked my dr and ultrasound techs a similar question they said whoever is born first is called Baby A no matter where they were beforehand. They said they can not call any baby born first Baby B because being first automatically makes them Baby A. I was so frustrated because I really felt like my girls switched who was closer to the cervix in the middle of pregnancy and I had difficulty bonding because I didn't know who was who. They also said it was "impossible" for the babies to switch who was closer to the cervix at any point whether they were di-di (which mine were), mono-di, or even mono-mono which I also didn't believe. Oh well.
Long story short, my Baby A was born first because of how they defined which baby was which. Both were head down somewhere around week 30.

at 41.3 weeks, and 06/12 our fraternal DDs A and V were hospital birth at 41.1 weeks.
As Emelee says, whichever baby is labeled 'A' just indicates who is closest to the cervix. In my entire pregnancy, my Lucy was always baby 'A', and she was born first. It is possible, depending on how everything is situated, that at some point A and B can switch places, making A->B and B->A. But A is just an indicator of who is closest to the cervix. I would hazard a guess that if someone states that B was born first, what they are saying is that A and B at some point switched places so that B became A and then was born.
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
In cases of C-section, often B is born first.
My girls did switch at least once during the pregnancy. But that changed who was A and who was B. But we had nicknamed them, so they each kept their nickname and the a/b didn't matter. (both were head down)
I had a c-section, and my baby A was born first. I asked who they would take first, because I know how "who is older" questions follow kids. In my irrational pregnancy mind, it was important to me that the kid who was "supposed" to be born first actually was. "B" was breech.
i seem to remember the lettering system is not exactly who is closest to the cervix, but actually who is bottom left and then in a circular manner, that way it is the same system no matter how many kids in there. so starting at the left side of 6 o'clock and going clockwise. and yes babies can come out out of order, specially in HOM. so there are charts that read Baby A (formally known as Baby B) and such, i have a friend in my multiples group that gave vaginal birth to triplets and had them come in exactly reverse order and yeah it spooked everyone out, but their placentas (2) were side by side so it was really just a left right thing that got them their original a,b,c, names.
a even funnier note about her trips, she had picked out names that stated with A,B&C and ended up moving those names to their middle names because she said they where telling her to pick new ones with their new birth order, so she picked a new set of A,B,C names and gave them to the new order, so their first and middle names read like AC BB & CA yeah i know it is really confusing and funny, a good story for them when they are older.
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I had the same experience- confusion! I was going to a MFM practice in my home town with mono-di girls and while I was with them, they were calling the twin on the left "A" and the one on the right "B." Then my husband and I moved to a new city for his job when I was 26 weeks. And the tech who scanned me said that B was now presenting, and she and the new MFM doctors went round and round about what they were going to call them. I thought they said that B would be the new A, but then the pictures and reports they would discuss kept calling that baby B. A couple of weeks later I went in and one of the specialists firmly put her foot down that they needed to be changed. It got confusing because B (old A), had an elevated cord blood flow doppler and I was constantly trying to make sure I understood who they were talking about, etc. Sheesh. Anyway, they have stuck with the new lettering, I'm now 36 weeks (well, in two days) and I'll be induced next Tues. at 36 weeks and 5 days, hopefully vaginally, since both are head down. But they did warn me that if I have to be rushed in for a c-section, B could actually be born first.
Kinda crazy!
i was told and it makes the most sense is that the names on some level have to stay the same thru out the pregnancy
because the chart on how that baby mesured and what test were done on that child and such, if they just change it becasue of positioning or stange birth order, then they risk switching that medical record up. so i was told whatever they were called at the first measurement or test, they usally stuck with unless it was clearly noted, like in a birth order thing.
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I've only had one u/s so far (just found out it was twins on Friday!), and it wasn't with an MFM, but the doctor assigned A & B according to left/right.

So, I asked my OB and she told me that she assigns A and B to whichever baby is born first after birth. Before birth A is closest to the cervix.

My A, B (and A, B, C with the triplets) never moved and always stayed in their designated places. And were all born in the correct order. :)
And how are they? ((Begs for pictures))

SIDS happens.
Holly i have a question for you and all the moms that say the will get reassigned at birth:
what about following and connecting charts and possible questions and issues in metro with what is seen or develops after birth? It seems absolutely important to have the charts continuos in case something comes up. i would want ot know what for instance the NT measurements or Amnio results were in a child that was showing later some other soft markers for issues. Or if some thing was seen on a U/s that cause a question about an organ of one of the babies, that baby might be followed closer in the early years to see if it turned out ok.
i dont every want to just bring up scenarios to worry preggo mommies, but this willy nilly attitude some of these doctors have about re-assigning A,B or C seems like a bad thing.
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I have no clue
I have seen a serial number on their charts (there are two charts, one says "Zoller A serial #", and "Zoller B serial #") So, I supposed those serial numbers will follow them to my pediatricians office and then get assigned to their names? But I dont really know, Ill ask next time.
The whole thing had me really stressed out until my OB told me that we will probably know by about 30 weeks which baby will be born first because I have such a small torso that there wont be a lot of room for movement after that. I can see that, and even with my singletons, both have stayed in their same position from 34 weeks on (until DD was manually flipped). Anyway, I'd be interested to know more about mamas who have had baby B born first-like was it something you all knew beforehand, or was it just like, "Holy Crap! B is just shoving a out of the way and making a run for it!"
Holly and David
Adaline (3/20/10), and Charlie (1/26/12- 4/10/12) and our identical twins Callie and Wendy (01/04/13)
SIDS happens.
I haven't read all the responses, but we had baby A and baby B that "changed" mid pregnancy when they rotated head down, baby B was the one presenting. So baby B would have technically been called baby A, but they kept their original letter assignments so they could accurately measure growth and developmental changes. It was always really confusing for the techs when I went in, because I had to explain that baby A was not the one presenting. In the end, when they were born they became numbers Baby 1 (B) and Baby 2 (A). Which is what my friend says they did with her triplets too. I kept their names and who was who straight pretty easy when they were in utero, because they did stay on the same sides (left/right), baby B just got her head down first :) Also, when they start giving weights it made it easy to tell who was who when they are born...for examply my baby A was the bigger one (born second).
ETA: both of my girls were born vaginally, if that makes a difference in the conversation
(DD1 Oct 2009), (2011) , (DD2 and DD3 June 2012)
yeah my girl baby A got in line at my cervix at 18 weeks and never moved! (besides rotating sunnyside up for 4 crazy days at 34-35 weeks, boy that pissed her off!!)
though in that time my boy, baby B did just about every movement possible in the space he had left over from her
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I'm certainly not saying that you are being silly for worrying about this, at all. But dont worry about it. I didnt think of this at all with my twins because they are b/g. But the triplets I did, especially when we didnt know if the boys were ID (still don't) and because I had assigned names to them based on their birth order and in utero personalities. And because at the 20 week scan they were flagged for all kinds of 'problems' that were either going to be nothing at all, or a big deal, and I was worried that they would lose track of people, especially with the 12,000 staff in the deliveries. FTR: they were all nothing.
There will be teams that are specifically assigned to each baby and they will be with that baby every second. They will be banded right away with A, B, C etc. Funnily enough, my baby B was readmitted to the NICU a while after being discharged for something totally unrelated to birth and was STILL Baby B Lastname even when Babies A and C weren't in the hospital anymore.
With my triplets, they scanned me before I went into the c/s, and then while I was on the table for last minute presentation. It was obvious for us since baby A was jammed so far down into my cervix that there was absolutely no physical way anyone else could have got even a pinkie toe ahead of him, but they were still aware of it and made sure everyone was accounted for correctly. :)
Adalines mama, I dont know if you were talking to me asking for a picture, but here is one anyway. :p
Ahhhhhh! They are so adorable :) (yes, I was begging you for a picture!) I love them!!!!!

squweeeeeee! cuteness
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
Fireteam mom, they are adorable! So cute. And they all look very similar - if the boys are identical, they did a good job sharing their placenta since it doesn't look like too much weight differences. My boys (identical) were just a few grams off in weight.
My ultrasound techs named the baby closest to the cervix and to the left baby A. At one point, however, baby on the right was closer to the cervix (A and B were my boys, at the bottom of my uterus, and my girl was stretched up top), and the tech named that one A. I argued with her, and said it didn't make sense to switch letters half-way through the pregnancy. She said that it didn't matter, that A was just who was closest at the time of the exam, period. I went in to my specialist dr and told her what had happened, and she said that was ridiculous. She said, as I would think would be common sense, that the same baby needed to be named the same thing throughout so we could keep good track of growth and any other issues. The doctor didn't really believe me that the tech had switched the babies -- she assumed that I had just gotten A and B mixed up in my own head. I didn't make any head-way with her, so I just dropped it. It was too hard to prove since the boys basically had the same weight throughout the pregnancy and were born with almost the same weight. At the next ultrasound, I got a different technician, and she went back to the old names. It just goes to show that there are confusions among colleagues in any field, and certainly in such a complex field as medicine.

Thanks everyone!! Emaya, they were both 4'14, I dont know down to the grams though. They only had one placenta between them. Earlier in the pregnancy they couldnt see if it has fused or was actually one, but when they delivered they said they couldnt see any signs that it had fused and decreed it as one single placenta. Did your boys look identical in looks from day one? We can very easily tell them apart but no one else can. To me they look very different. I know we can get them DNA tested so I really need to do that just so I can stop wondering!! :)
Sorry for the subject change, Mama!
I wish I could say that I can tell them apart, but I couldn't from day one, and I still can't at 9 months! Luckily, one has a raspberry birthmark on his head, so it's been easy since he developed it (about a week after birth), before then, we painted a toenail. But now, hair is so long, I have to do the braille method and feel for it on his head. I generally dress Forest in something green -- socks, at least -- so I can quickly see who is who all day long.
But I've heared of identical twins that looked different from birth. Epigenetics, I suppose, where some small difference in environment -- even how they are positioned in the womb -- will turn on or off some genetic sequence that allows for great variation even between individuals who share the same genetic code originally. Are you going to have your boys tested?
Yes, and sorry for the subject change! :)

Just a lurker reading your interesting posts (I'm curious about one or two for me ;) ) but OMG momofafireteam....LOVE that picture share. <3 If I wasn't already pregnant my uterus would be twitching! LOL....Love a baby in a white onsie...but three of them together is just so much squishy cuteness...thanks for sharing! :)
Momma to Emma (10), Elzie (8), Gretchen (6), Olive (3), Rogan (1) and Baby #6 due end of April.

There will be an extra 40,000 seats to and from Queenstown
during the peak winter season provided by alliance partners
Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia.
Last week, Jetstar announced an extra 15,000 seats between
Australia and Queenstown for winter, in addition to the extra
winter seats announced by Qantas two months ago.
In a statement yesterday, Air New Zealand said transtasman
seat capacity to Queenstown would increase by more than 12%
between July and September as a result of up to five
additional transtasman services a week.
Domestic capacity from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch
to Queenstown would also increase by 11% as a result of using
larger aircraft.
Air New Zealand chief sales and commercial officer Cam
Wallace said the alliance partners now provided almost three
times as many transtasman seats to Queenstown as five years

It's the third anniversary of Ed Balls Day, the day when British Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls accidentally sent out a tweet containing nothing but his name (which doubles as a snappy euphemism for testicles).
Although banks and the government have yet to close on Ed Balls Day, retweeting the post has become something of a British national tradition.
Balls didn't delete the original tweet because "he did not know you could." It's now been retweeted more than 27,000 times.
[H/T Ed Balls]

Penn State to Donate Bowl Game Revenue to Fight Sexual Abuse
Penn State University, which accepted an invitation for its football team to play in the TicketCity Bowl, said it will donate its postseason revenue from the sport to groups seeking to protect children from sexual abuse.
Penn State will face the University of Houston in the Jan. 2 game at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas.
The Nittany Lions had a 9-3 record this season, losing two of their final three games after Joe Paterno was fired as coach in the wake of a child sexual abuse scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky. School officials had previously said Penn State would play in a bowl game because the players had nothing to do with the scandal.
"As Penn State continues to move forward from recent events we are committed to help break the silence that surrounds child sexual abuse and lead to better protection of our children," Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement on the school's website.
Erickson said revenue received from the Big Ten Conference's bowl payout will be used to support the school's recent partnerships with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, as well as other related initiatives.
Penn State is among a record 10 Big Ten schools invited to postseason bowls, with two teams headed to Bowl Championship Series games. The University of Wisconsin plays Oregon in the Rose Bowl and the University of Michigan meets Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. The Big Ten received $27.2 million from the BCS to distribute to its member schools last season after having two schools in BCS games, the SportsBusiness Journal said.
Return to Dallas
Penn State will be playing in Dallas for the first time since the 1975 Cotton Bowl, and the Nittany Lions' opponent is a Houston team that was 12-0 before losing the Conference USA championship game 49-23 to Southern Mississippi. Led by quarterback Case Keenum, Houston's offense was No. 1 in the nation with 444 passing yards a game this season.
"The opportunity to play in the TicketCity Bowl is fitting acknowledgment of the hard work, dedication and perseverance our student-athletes have exhibited during this especially challenging season," interim coach Tom Bradley said in a statement.
Penn State will be making its 44th bowl appearance and its 27th postseason victories are third all-time.
Sandusky, 67, was charged with 40 counts of molesting eight boys in a period from 1994 to 2009. He has denied wrongdoing.
Paterno, 84, who won a record 409 games as Penn State's coach, was fired and Graham B. Spanier, 63, was removed as the university's president by the Board of Trustees for inaction after word of possible assaults became known in 2002.
Athletic Director Tim Curley and Senior Vice President Gary Schultz were charged with perjury and failure to report the allegations. They have denied the charges.

Teen gunman kills student, hurts teacher
TROUTDALE, Ore. (AP) – A teen gunman armed with a rifle shot and killed a student Tuesday and injured a teacher at a high school in a quiet Columbia River town in Oregon then likely killed himself, authorities said.
Officers used a robot with a camera to investigate and discovered the suspect, hunched over a restroom toilet, was dead and that he likely killed himself at Reynolds High School in Troutsdale, police said.
The attack panicked students at the school after a lockdown was ordered and they were told to go quietly to their classrooms. Gov. John Kitzhaber said "Oregon hurts as we try to make sense of a senseless act of violence."
The Oregon violence came less than a week after a gunman opened fire on a college campus in neighboring Washington state, killing a 19-year-old man and wounding two others.
FAA to allow first commercial drone use
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it has granted the first permission for commercial drone flights over land, the latest effort by the agency to show it is loosening restrictions on commercial uses of the unmanned aircraft.
Drone maker AeroVironment of Monrovia, Calif., and BP Energy Corp. have been given permission to use a Puma drone to survey pipelines, roads and equipment at Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, the agency said. The first flight took place on Sunday. Made by AeroVironment, the Puma is a small, hand-launched craft about 4.5 feet long and with a 9-foot wingspan. It was initially designed for military use. Drones are often less expensive to operate than manned aircraft and easier to maneuver.
Senators briefed on POW's release
WASHINGTON – Senators emerged from a classified, closed-door briefing on the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl on Tuesday seemingly less convinced than ever about the wisdom of swapping five high-level Taliban prisoners for the Army soldier.
The terms of the exchange signaled "a lack of understanding of the reality of the conflict we're engaged in," Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said as he emerged from the secure hearing room. "It's got to be demoralizing for our allies. It's got to be demoralizing for our soldiers. It's got to embolden the people we're fighting against.
"We're in a war," he continued. "I think this White House does not understand that."
Democrats took their own shots at the terms of the trade. "Was it a good deal or a bad deal?" said Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va. "In my mind it's still a bad deal."

FDA says some fish OK if you're pregnant
WASHINGTON – The FDA, in a change of course, now wants pregnant women to eat more fish. But not the kinds that are high in mercury. Altering its 2004 advice to shun most seafood, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that pregnant and breast-feeding women and young children should eat fish that is low in mercury levels to gain important health benefits. Those fish – including salmon, trout, anchovies and sardines – are high in essential omega-3 fatty acids. The FDA also noted that pollock, shrimp, talapia, catfish, cod and canned light tuna are safe to consume while pregnant or breast-feeding.

I will start by saying I have not seen HICKORY HILL in 20 years. Yes, I'm old. GetAmped, I'm a stocker too. Thank you for believing. For all of you that can ski, come and play! For those of you that can't, you'll be suprised at what this mountain will give you. It truely is magical. I'm a firm believer that if Hickory can keep it's roots, than remarkable skiers as well as families and freinds, will always flourish from this mountain. Like I said, I'm from the old days, packed twig base, to the sweet corn and massive bumps in the spring. Though back then we painted, cleared trails,(again thank you) patrolled ect. for the PASS. Hence the family affair. Sorry, I digress. If you live within two hours of this area, you must ski it. After all this time, I know the mountan didn't move. It has always worn the Kilingtons and the gores to their knees by mid day. I've lived in Colorado for 17 years now and with a three year absence in between, I still was able to ski anything I could hike. This is what this mountain can do. Learn there and you will be able to ski it all. Sorry GetAmped but, you did forget the beatnic. Halfway down teton to the left. Sweet rides.
Please only ski within your ability. Don't let your freinds get you in over your head. Ride on!!!

This week's episode is an interview with Paper Diamond and a review of his show with some of my commentary on the dubstep scene. Paper Diamond is electronic musician Alex B. who also produces hip hop, runs a music label and has a clothing line. He's a DIY artist in the truest sense and a real inspiration to talk with. His live show is a spectacular vision of lights and aggressive dance music. I'll capture that part of it for you in a separate video. In my commentary on dubstep I talk a bit about taking photographs at shows. Here's a photograph from the show that's an example of what I'm referring to with the enthusiasm of the people that attended the show.

The Aquanettes are a Detroit area band comprised of three women that have a powerful surf-rock and punk sound with an ambition to be heard. I came across them through Tania, their bass player, who also plays keyboards in Blockhead, a Devo cover band. Tania mentioned she played bass in this all girl puck band, the Aquanettes, that I should check out. A couple of months later, I'm at a show at Callahans, a bar in Auburn Hills, that usually has attracts an older blues rock crowd. On this night, along with a burlesque show that I can't even hint at how cool it was. Meanwhile, I can give you the lowdown on the Aquanettes who really put a real kick into the night's show. The video is only a small glimpse of the conversation I had with the ladies, we talked on other topics and even had a fan asking questions of the band. Maybe a part 2 video is called for...
The Aquanettes are hard at work over the winter putting some new material together. You can find out more about the Aquanettes at their facebook page and reverbnation page.

I remember meeting Julian Smith way back in 2006(?) at an early Podcasting Convention. Talk a look at the cover for this week's show. That's Julian and I back in the early days of podcasting when the internet was our oyster. We've both come a long way since then, I've got over 300 podcast episodes and Julian has a multitude of social media and blogging adventures he's been involved in. His latest is The Flinch, a self help book available free from Amazon's Kindle store. The book is a philosophical approach to overcoming your fears, whatever they may be, so that you achieve the things in you really want out of life. We also talk about Julian's days as a podcaster and tips for writing a book for the Kindle store. The music in the episode is indie hip hop from mix tapes that I listened to in 2011.

I'm starting off 2012 with a video interview I should have probably gotten out in 2011, I guess time flies when you're having fun. This video is with Rubik, an indie pop band from Finland that combine elements of pop with catchy melodies and the epicness of progressive rock. They have been around with since late 1990's but they sound continually fresh with compelling instrumentation. I caught them on tour with Lights in October. What was funny about interviewing them was I worried that I wouldn't be able to understand them bring from Finland and all. Turns out their english is quite good and they were very affable during the conversation. Their latest album "Solar" was a masterpiece and I'm sure was in top lists of favorite albums of 2011 for critics and indie pop fans.
