That team can't win, because Mew isn't even eligible.
And learn to play your levels right.

thats besides the fact... why even teach mew those moves? but lemme see... besides that, you may be forgetting about the level restrictions.... you can have all level 51s at best... any higher numbers then that.. or maybe 1 lvl 55 and 5 lvl 50s... because the limit for the rheee pokemon you send in is 155.... so dont plan on leveling anyobdy over 50 if you plan on a lvl 55.... unfortunatley for you... you may need to remake your team.. in my opinion you must have these moves on pokemon that can give them max effectiveness.... in thep oke cup, you need:
a strong special attack type (alakazam, hypno, mr mime, or espion are about the only bets) whoever you pick should be able to handle itselfo n its own.. i chose alakazam cause he can recover. then id recommend giving one of these mons a thunder move to.. i taught my alakazam thunder punch and alongside psychic and future sight, alakazam had most battles wrapped up.
but if you have a mew.. my guess is you may have access to.. ohh say a brainboy...or ag ameshark... you may want to opt for a spore mosnter.. pick a high speed special attack monster and give them a spore attack. then give em dream eater, nightmare and a third move to go along with it... if your accuracy wasnt lowered.. that mon could most likely own... and if you can do that.. you may want to make a super marowak... give it a thick club to double its attack power, then develop moves to take down your most annoying enemys under the physical types.... most rock types cant stand earthquake, so you might want to give it that... give it recover of course, so when they cant fight back, you can handle any damages you may have. if you want to handle psi typs with marowak.. just TM it shadow ball... or give it to it with another item....
im working on a team myself i plan on using for the poke cup myself... the mystic types are prefect levels for the cup.. you might want to use raiko or zapdos in that situation, which are pretty good.... also, take the thought of combos into mind.... pokemon earls academy give you good ideas for the poke cup battles.... if you want a pokemon that could heal, then set up a sunny day with any recovery technique except recover (that would be moonlight, morning sun, and synthesis) if you want a dnagerous grass type or an evily powerfull fire user, the sunny day ups fire attack powers and allows grass tpyes to use solarbeam every turn instead of every two. mind reader and dynamic punch on poliwrath or lock-on and Zap cannon on magenaton are other good ideas. some really simple combos are the defense curl- rollout combos... set up any pokemon with this (i took my hsiny donphan on this), and the rollout power is already doubled.. meanign at full power, it could beat anything. Rain dance and then a thunder attack on your part will ALWAYS hit.. and i do mean always... if your feeling lucky, use the mean look, perish song, and protect/endure or just change out at last turn combo... though this wont work on last pokemon for the enemy or you, this will put the enemy in a never ending bind... only to die 3 turns and your pokemon to be ok... another idea is to safeguard with moves that cause confusion after a while.. like petal dance, thrash, or outrage...
but your probably tired of all my combo talk.

Nov 18, 03 at 5:03am ^re: best poke cup team
quote dark chao tamerInconclusive proof. I will now show why 55/55/50/50/50/50 is the single mathematically best level combination:
quoteSomething that isn't much different from Prime Cup. In reality, Poke Cup is just a Prime Cup that punishes players that have already leveled up to 100 (as they'll have to go get new specimens).
quoteHardly. Hypno and Mr. Mime are GARBAGE, Espeon's only flexibility comes from BP and Growth, and Alakazam is far from the only viable option (and its viability even comes into question via its newfound fragility). Consider:
Houndoom - Just plain blitzkrieg. One turn setup and it has access to three 100-accuracy moves with effective powers of 120, 120, and 213. Amazing type coverage too.
Kingdra - Enough resistances to choke the neighbor's cat. Out of 251 moves, Kingdra is weak to just THREE of them--fewer than any other Pokemon. As such, stands its ground on defense.
Blissey - At L55, it can conceivably hit 396 HP and 204 SD. Practically untouchable in Special. Defense only reaches 67 at that level, but when multiplied by HP it's no worse off physically than the average Pokemon. And if you want, you can try to use Counter to take advantage of such a low Defense.
quoteReally? What can you do against an Umbreon? Future Sight is NOTHING without proper utility, and even that doesn't give it much use beyond "stopping recovery wars from originating".
Fighting is the second attack type that would best assist Psychic. Unfortunately, no members of the type can utilize it properly. Guess what that means...PSYCHIC ISN'T THE BEST TYPE ANYMORE. And there's nothing that can be done about it.
quoteOnce it gets to this point, they no longer need your help.
quoteHow about the Spider Web/Mind Reader/Horn Drill combo to follow up Spore instead? (Actually, since it's against a CPU that doesn't recognize such an intricacy, you can replace Spider Web with Fissure and be able to hit Gengar and Misdreavus.)
quoteThe following LEGAL moveset can be learned by Marowak: Earthquake, Rock Slide, Hidden Power, and Swords Dance. If you know how to make Hidden Power a Bug-type move (something you can do with a Shark, but a lot sneakier and unprovable), your mission is acomplished. Marowak does NOT need Recover; it should be able to knock out everything in ONE hit so there's no fear about taking damage. It makes a lot of sense here to have something else use Agility and Baton Pass. Marowak does NOT have room for Recover or Agility of its own. It needs to concentrate on hitting as hard as possible, as diversely as possible. It has no time to worry about damage--if you are taking damage, something's not right.
quoteSurprisingly, Psychics are best handled with Earthquake anyway. Shadow Ball is only 6% stronger than Earthquake in this case, which does NOT make a difference against ANYTHING AT ALL. For Exeggutor and Celebi, you can use Hidden Power (making sure it's Bug at peak strength) instead.
quoteRaikou SUCKS in the Poke Cup because it has no way to get Crunch, a L61 level-up move.Zapdos performs better, but I'd like an explanation of how you're going to be using it.
quoteOh, so Milk Drink and Softboiled aren't recovery techniques? The three moves you mentioned have 8 PP each, and do not serve their needed purpose of staving off attacks for sufficient time.
quoteIt also allows Grass-types to get their heads bashed in for 1000 because the Fire weakness is suddenly a x3 instead of a x2. Leave the Solarbeaming to Houndoom.
quoteThat's funny, I thought Poliwrath learned Fissure, which is so much more devastating than Dynamicpunch...
quoteLock-On + Zap Cannon is incredibly bad, because you still only get to hit with Zap Cannon every other turn (which is about the pace you could have expected to begin with), and that it's EVEN WORSE because an enemy switch makes the Lock-on disappear, thereby reducing your average hit rate to 25%. And it's not even that game-breaking of a move anyway.
quoteNot Steelix. And did I mention that Rollout only has a 49% chance of even getting to full power, or that you're starting out the combo by hitting with nothing or with a weak attack?
quoteBut your first Rain Dance can be thought of as a missed Thunder. Net result: Using Thunderbolt constantly will be better in the long run up unti the 6th turn, and if it's taking you 6 turns to kill something with Thunder, you're probably trying to kill it the wrong way.
quoteThey use Roar. You are FORCED to switch, breaking the Mean Look. You have no way to stop them from switching out of Perish Song at this point. This combo is a good one, but there are ways around it.
quoteNone of those moves are any good anyway. Adding Safeguard means that you're slowing the pace down, taking FOUR turns to deal THREE turns' worth of damage. Look for better, drawback-free moves.
quoteAgreed. You don't need to go around flaunting "Look how much attention I paid to the mock teacher in this game!". What counts is that you actually rethink how good those "combos" really are, and whether or not there are better alternatives. Anything less than the best option simply doesn't cut it here.

Nov 19, 03 at 11:31am ^re: best poke cup team
that team is pretty effective... considering you passed some moves around, your able to use nearly any one of them for any situation..... i would still say raise only 1 to level 55, because in the instance that youd need both level 55s, then you wont be able to get them both, but so many of the moves you have slip to others in your list..... good and healthy aquisitions of psyhics, thunderpunches, and icepunches, make your team really effective to flyers, ice types, poison types, and rock types... i think kindra could be effective to rock, ground and dragon. the earthquake on machamp will take out pokemon like onix and the other rock/grounds... so its effective against rock as well.... anyway....the teem seem rather effective to a multitude of types... though not taking advantage of alakazams recover could be a bad mistake, as you dont have it there.. my alakazam never really used his recover, but it does come out helpful sometimes. houndoom is prolly the pokemon i didnt notice... but considering the fact it can bash water types just as well as the other pokemon, and toast grass types, and really atack psi atttacks to....rather effective of a team.

Is there any other way to get Rock Slide on a Machop/choke/champ, apart from getting it from R/B/Y. Can it learn it as an egg move, like on R/S. If not, would there be another move to replace over rock slide, to keep it nearly as effective, apart from HP Rock.
What should the other two moves be on Kingdra?

Articuno: replace peck with fly. It's just plain stronger and it works good with a toxic combination. I usually don't like to have two of basically the same type of abilities, so I'd say replace either ice beam or blizzard (probably blizzard because the low accuracy annoys me) with something else (like toxic to go with the fly)
Electrode: take out sonic boom because it won't do much on level 50 pokemon. For my Electrode, I have it Thunderbolt (way more reliable than thunder), Thunder Wave, Explosion, and light screen. The screech-explosion combo isn't a bad idea though.
Hitmonlee: Too much fighting! give it some versatility or change it to a different pokemon than can learn things other than fighting moves (although the alternatives can be too slow to get an attack in) Try giving it some other strong physical attacks like Double Edge or Earthquake (can it learn that?)
Arcanine: ditch ember, you won't need it ever. Flamethrower has enough PP to get you through 3 pokemon if need be. You might want to consider dig or earthquake (which would be better, but again I'm not sure if it can learn it) to counter other fire types. It can also learn dragon rage, which is a good addition to any team
Dugtrio: ditch dig and scratch, they are only weaker repeats of earthquake and slash. Give it a rock slide to deal with flyers and then at least one non-offensive attack.
Lapras: You don't need a surf AND hydro pump THAT badly. Especially on such a versatile pokemon. I think that any pokemon that can learn confuse ray should keep it. Also, think about a thunderbolt, psychic, or solarbeam if you're fresh out of thunderbolts. Thunderwave is also nice (again, not sure if she can learn it, but I assume she can because she can learn other electric TMs) especially with Lapras's low speed.

Dec 16, 03 at 6:20am ^annoyance trio
So this isn't my full team, but it's an idea for a theoretically un beatable set up, and if not certainly an extremely annoying one to deal with.
Mr. Mime L51
Light Screen
Double Team
Baton Pass
Poliwrath L51
Mind Reader
Double Team
Ice Beam
Umbreon L51
So my strategy is to start off with Mr. Mime, who has good defense and okay special defense, but basically he should be able to withstand one hit of basically anything without fainting right away. I'd have him set up some barriers, light screens, and double teams if he has time in order to make him practically impervious to damage (he also would have the leftovers item attached) Once that's set up, he would baton pass to Poliwrath. If Poliwrath still needs some more double teams in order to reach max, he can do that. Otherwise, it's straight to the one-hit-KO Mind Reader-Fissure combo. Incase Poliwrath faces a flying pokemon, he has an Ice beam which should give him a good chance, especially if he's got the barriers and light screens from Mr. Mime. If Poliwrath should somehow fail, Umbreon would badly poison any pokemon and wait for it to slowly die with alternating Detects and Protects. Even if one of the moves should fail, Umbreon has great defense, and there is not much need for speed because the detect/protect move always goes first. The psychic is put in there because it can deal with poison type pokemon, who are impervious to the toxic. If Umbreon could learn Earthquake or some other poison effective physical attack that would work too.
tell me what you think.

7-Day Weights: Mayweather at 148.5, Guerrero at 153
by David P. Greisman
Floyd Mayweather was already nearly at the welterweight limit about a month before his May 4 pay-per-view main event against Robert Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas — and with a week to go, he was even closer.
Robert Guerrero, meanwhile, still had half a dozen pounds to lose in half a dozen days, according to figures provided by World Boxing Council official William Boodhoo.
Mayweather came in at 148.5 pounds on April 26, according to the WBC. Guerrero was at 153 pounds on April 27.
The maximum either fighter could have been is 154 pounds. The WBC's 7-day weigh-in requires fighters to be within 5 percent of the division limit. Mayweather had seven days to lose the final 1.5 pounds. Guerrero had six days to lose six pounds.
Interestingly, neither boxer was much heavier at their 30-day weigh-ins. Mayweather came in at 149.6 pounds on April 5, while Guerrero came in at 154 pounds on April 4.
This fight is for a title belt that Mayweather won in 2011 with his knockout of Victor Ortiz. Mayweather subsequently went up to junior middleweight for a bout with Miguel Cotto, and that allowed Guerrero to capture the WBC's interim title at welterweight in a win last year over Selcuk Aydin.
Guerrero, 30, subsequently defended the interim title successfully in November with a decision win over Andre Berto. That victory brought his record to 31-1-1 with 18 knockouts and 2 no contests.
Mayweather, 36, has not fought in nearly a year and is also making his first appearance in the ring since a jail stint last summer. His unanimous decision win over Cotto brought his unblemished record to 43-0 with 26 knockouts.

Second unit not second fiddle
The Milwaukee Bucks bench is playing a major role in the team's recent resurgence.
After starting the season with a 4-9 record, the Bucks have won four of their last six. That includes a 3-1 record in their last four road games and a satisfying 100-89 home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.
And the Bucks second unit was at it again, thoroughly outplaying the Lakers reserves.
Ersan Ilyasova and Mike Dunleavy Jr. had 15 points apiece, and they did it efficiently with Ilyasova hitting 7 of 9 shots from the field and Dunleavy going 6 for 8, including 2 for 3 from three-point range.
Backup point guard Beno Udrih ran the offense well and dished out seven assists in just 16 minutes.
"The main reason for the team coming together is our unselfishness," Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings said. "Guys in our second group are really playing a big part. They're really helping us out down the stretch, especially in the second quarter.
"Sometimes the starting lineup starts off the game the right way and they're there to pick us up."
It definitely worked out that way Saturday as the Bucks went on a 17-0 run spanning the end of the first quarter and start of the second.
The Bucks reserves had 14 of the 17 points during that run, including five each by Ilyasova and Dunleavy.
The Lakers' starters had a two-point edge on the Bucks starters (65-63) but the Milwaukee bench outscored the Los Angeles reserves, 37-24, while playing nearly the same number of minutes (83 for the Bucks to 79 for the Lakers).
Bucks coach Scott Skiles pointed out that reserve forward Larry Sanders did not score but made an impact while battling against the Lakers big men. Sanders had four rebounds and three blocked shots in 13 minutes.
"We had some sequences tonight, particularly in the first half, that were exceptional," Skiles said. "When Beno was spreading the ball around ... our point guards had 14 assists and one turnover.
"When we start ball-holding and isolating a little bit too much, we're just not near as good. When the ball is moving around, we've got enough ball-handlers, passers and shooters that we look like a really good club when we play that way."
The Bucks scored 100 points in back-to-back games against the Bulls and Lakers, even though Milwaukee lost in Chicago on Friday night. Milwaukee's reserves had a 42-21 advantage over the Bulls bench, led by Jon Leuer's 19 second-half points.
And the Bucks bench scored 66 points on Wednesday in the team's 105-99 victory at Houston, led by Dunleavy's 18 points. The Rockets bench scored just 15 points. llyasova also had a career-best 19 rebounds in that game.
Skiles pointed to the first-half contributions by the bench as critical as the Bucks took a 51-43 halftime lead over the Lakers.
"We started the game missing a few shots and we looked like we were a little fatigued, maybe," Skiles said. "On back-to-backs you've got to wait a little bit and let guys play through it, and we did.
"Then you always have a little paranoia when the starters start to play good and you go to the bench. What are you going to get? But they came in with a ton of energy tonight and really picked up the building."
It was the 12th game in a row and 15th of the season where at least one Bucks reserve had 10 or more points.
The Lakers' bench corps was led by rookie Andrew Goudelock with 13 points but no other reserve player scored more than four points. Metta World Peace continued to struggle as he went 1 for 6 from the field and had just four points and one rebound in 21 minutes.
The Bucks shot 50% from the field, hitting 40 of 80 attempts, despite going just 5 of 19 from three-point range.
"When we've done what we did (Saturday), when we've moved it around and not started overdribbling, most of those games or quarters or halves, we've shot the ball well," Skiles said.
Next up for Milwaukee is a home game against Detroit on Monday night. The Bucks improved their home record to 5-2.

NOT TOO LONG ago, Jamal Nwaniemeka figured he'd be playing his college basketball at the Division II level.
He would not have gone there kicking and screaming. Would have even been fine with that. But the identity of his ultimate destination brings more of a smile to his face.
It's Rider, and that school can be found in D-I.
"It was looking like I was going to go to East Stroudsburg," said Nwaniemeka, a 6-2, 180-pound wing guard at Conwell-Egan. "I was shocked when things changed up and D-I attention started coming my way. I didn't think I was capable of being a D-I player, but people kept telling me I was."

I've started using an OPK to track my ovulation, and was wondering what brand everyone prefers and why? I'm currently using the Clearblue OPK, and have a brand spankin' new pack of Wondfo O tests as well. Is Clearblue worth all the money?? Or would you say Wondfo is just as much bang for you buck? Or is there another brand that you like?
I'm new to all this, so any advice is much appreciated! I'll take all the help I can get to put a bun in the oven
Thanks! I'm tracking cervical mucous, and I'm considering tracking cervical positioning as well, but know absolutely nothing about how to do it or what it means.
Well, my question answered itself this morning when I did my O test. I randomly decided to try out the Wondfo tests, and IMMEDIATELY got a positive result for ovulation! To make sure it wasn't a fluke, I did a second Wondfo and got the exact same result. Then I wanted to see what Clearblue would tell me-- and I got a negative result for O!! So, in my opinion, Wondfo wins this battle. Since I've also been tracking my CM, I can say that my CM coincides with the Wondfo positive O tests.
SO HAPPY my husband and I have had sex the past 2 nights!! Talk about instincts kicking in!

The coccidiodin skin test checks to see if you are infected with the fungus that causes
The spherulin test also looks for this fungus, but it may be a more sensitive test. That means it may pick up signs of the infection earlier or more accurately.
Alternative Names
Spherulin skin test
How the test is performed
Coccidiodin and spherulin are substances called antigens that are specifically associated with the fungus that causes coccidioidomycosis.
One of these substances is injected just below the skin's surface, usually in the forearm. Your health care provider will look at your arm 24 hours and 48 hours after the test. If your body has antibodies to the coccidiomycosis fungus, your body will react to the antigen. The area of the shot will become red.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the test will feel
There will be a brief sting as a needle is inserted just below the skin's surface.
Why the test is performed
Doctors once ordered this test if a patient had signs or symptoms of coccidioidomycosis, or had been exposed to the fungus that causes the disease.
However, this skin test is no longer used to diagnosis patients. It is not specific and is mostly used in research to better understand the causes, spread, and control of the disease among a specific group of people.

I'm glad that some of yall were interested in starting a new group! I know that several threads have been posted on the Decemeber 2011 board. I thought this might help out some and we can refer back to it!
This will be my first time trying CDing! I'm excited and anxious to get started!
Its definitely overwhelming trying to learn about all the different options!

Hello ! I have been reading over at the cloth diaper board alot but I have never Cloth Diapered before.This will be our first attempt with our baby girl. It will be nice to have ladies in the same age group to ask questions!

I CD'd my son from a couple months old, once I realized how many diapers he went through! This is my first time trying on a newborn. Thankfully, even though I have given away ALL my old baby stuff, I managed to hold onto the cloth diapers so I have a decent stash to start with, at least once the little one gets older.
This will be my first time, though I babysat a girl who was CD'd when I was like 16 but had no clue about all these options I have to decide on!! I feel like this is a foreign language with the different brand names and folds, etc! But I am sooo excited!
Hi ladies! I will be CD for the first time, and like Christin I am excited and anxious and also nervous. They are so cute and I know we will save a TON of money but Im afraid i wont like it or it will just be more then I bargained for and Ill switch to sposies out of convience and familiarity. I kno about the big CD board but Im glad we have this smaller on cus it will be less intimidating to get on and ask stuff.

I've been cloth diapering since DD was 3 days old. Hope I can help any of you ladies, though I only really use prefolds.
Mommie's three princesses: Aerith, Elora and Inara.
(If you can identify where all the names come from, you get your NERD patch!)
I've been CDing DD since she was a couple days old - 22mo and going strong! My stash consists of pockets, fitteds, prefolds, covers, AIOs...pretty much a little bit of everything, but I reach for the pockets most often because they're snaps and DD hasn't figured out how to get them off yet .
I'm a little worried about having 2 in diapers, and being able to keep up with the laundry, but I'm hoping DD will be potty trained by the time this LO will need the OS diapers. Thankfully she already poops in the potty, so that'll be 1 less poop a day to deal with!!

Is Nyack Affordable?
Is Nyack affordable? Can a student affected significantly by the economic crunch attend Nyack and get a diploma despite financial hardships?
At Nyack College, we serve a population of students in which close to 50% receive the Federal Pell Grant meaning that their average family income is under $50,000. This is almost double the average of other private Christian schools. Thus, many of our students that graduated this past May managed to do so in the midst of significant personal economic challenges. In addition, many of our graduates were the first ones to graduate college in their family. One of the big reasons this is possible is because Nyack is committed to providing institutional grants and scholarships. In particular, we are proud to offer the Presidential Grant that helps students with financial hardship. This program awards up to $4,000. Last year, over $13 million institutional dollars were given out at our Rockland and New York City campuses to over 92% of our current students.
One example is 2012 Nyack graduate Joe O. Joe decided to go to college after working for a number of years. Attending Nyack did not always seem possible and graduation seemed more of a fantasy. In spite of this, Joe trusted in the God of the impossible and came to Nyack. He left his home in Pittsburgh, his job, and his church to come to our Christian college. Paying for Nyack each semester was rarely clear, but he communicated well and worked hard. Joe had several jobs on campus, served as a Resident Assistant (RA) in the dorms (RAs can receive $3,000-$4,000), and was highly involved on campus. He was eligible for over $8,000 per year in grants from Nyack and received over $5,000 per year in grants from the Federal government. Additionally, his church back home helped him with scholarships each school year. Joe graduated in May 2012 with his Bachelor's in Science in Pastoral Ministry and went back to Pittsburgh to work full-time at his church, Allegheny Center Alliance Church.
I strongly believe that where God calls He provides. Any student or family that believes going to a Christian college with the unique experiences that Nyack has to offer is something that God is calling them to pursue should seek God in prayer, believe Him for provision, and explore every possibility. We have a team of financial counselors at both of our campuses ready and willing to walk students and families through this faith journey of financing a Nyack College education. Our motto is, "Helping you make Nyack a reality!"
Steve Phillips is the Director of Student Financial Services as well as a local church pastor. He is a 2004 alumnus and has 10 years of experience working in the financial aid field.

Wetland Habitats of North Americaby Andrew H. Baldwin Darold P. Batzer
Wetlands are prominent landscapes throughout North America. The general characteristics of wetlands are controversial, thus there has not been a systematic assessment of different types of wetlands in different parts of North America, or a compendium of the threats to their conservation. Wetland Habitats of North America adopts a geographic and habitat approach, in which experts familiar with wetlands from across North America provide analyses and synthesis of their particular region of study. Addressing a broad audience of students, scientists, engineers, environmental managers, and policy makers, this book reviews recent, scientifically rigorous literature directly relevant to understanding, managing, protecting, and restoring wetland ecosystems of North America.

DD2 is 3yo, she has severe eczema. We are currently on dermasilk clothing, thick ointments, dermol, high steriod ointments (week on, week off) and bactoban. She also has oral antibiotics when its very bad. She also has antihistamines.
She sees a dermatology nurse but her flair ups are constant. Shes had allergy testing but nothing came up. Her skins a mess, she struggles with sleep because of it and with her starting school next year we really need to get on top of it. Is there anything we can do to break the cycle?
Why is there sugar-free, but no real "additive" free versions of children's medicines such as Calpol etc. even antibiotics.
This has proven to be a nightmare for us as we realised very early on, that my DDs "Eczema" & tummy trouble was an intolerance to chemical food additives - ie Azo Dye, Benzoate Preservatives & all artificial sweeteners, initially passed through BM.
She had suffered a few nasty illnesses in her time & now has a chronic pain condition to deal with, but up until more recently when we can give her adult drugs or at least doctor them - ei empty ant Bs out of the coloured capsules & mix with honey - there has been NOTHING we could safely give her
Why is this still an issue, when intolerance to these chemicals is not actually that uncommon ??
Thank You
Excellent - thank you!
MissRee - yes, if you can't catch the show on air on Sunday night then the podcast will be available to listen to from Monday onwards here
Wowsers, Just spoken to Kate Thornton, Jo frost and Dr Ellie Cannon! Fabulous, Thanks ever so for the advice.
Do I recall you saying this would be available online to "Listen Again"? If so, where can we find it please?
I need tips on how to spend regular individual time with my children whilst they are small. They all have individual time at bedtime with stories, but my middle child mainly misses out. She is pre school, as is the youngest, and the only time alone is when he naps during the day. It feels like squeezed in make do time. The littlest is too young to be expected to do anything alone (that I allow him to do, he is just two).
I can factor in occasional special time with one parent, e.g. when the others are at parties, but that's about it. Am I being unrealistic here, or is there a better way to do it?
Any advice for my DSs molluscum contagiosum please?
They are like small white/creamy bumps on his arms, the GP told us it might take 2 yrs to go away. It has been 12 months and he still has them although they do not bother him at all.
He did suffer terribly with eczema when he was younger (almost 11yo now) is there a connection?
i've noticed a big difference in energy levels in my teen since using iron supplements - wish id started years earlier. so thats my top tip for lethargic teens. i use floradix but theres other brands out there
Please could we have some guidance on what constitutes a portion of vegetables for a toddler - I serve veggies at every meal (including lots of "hidden" veg) but never know if the hidden veg is actually enough to be counted.
Not read whole thread so apologies if already been asked.
My ds, 14, has turned vegetarian. He eats beans, lentils and cheese, not so keen on nuts and seeds.
Should I be giving him a supplement? Am concerned about the lack of protein and iron.
my tip: before your baby is due, tell your friends that once it is here they are to invite themselves round and not wait for an invite. In those first few weeks I didn't feel in a fit state to invite anyone round but greatly appreciated the daily appearance of a friend with some food and a spare pair of arms. you can always tell them to go away again.
my questions:
is there any research into how increased screen time is affecting concentration, at various ages?
is there a recommended minimum age before children should be allowed on smartphones, laptops etc?
how can I encourage my child to make the effort to do more wholesome activities and not take the path of least resistance which is the computer?
how can i stop my child playing 18 games when all his friends do?
My DS1 is 6. He's clever, articulate, funny and kind BUT he does not listen!! I often have to repeat myself about 5 times before he'll do as I've asked and sometimes I end up yelling because time's of the essence, for example before the school run. I hate shouting at him but sometimes it's the only way to get through to him! I've tried reward charts with limited success. DS2 is now starting to pick up on this and had also developed 'selective hearing'. I know there's not a physical cause such as glue ear because believe me, both boys can hear the lid of the biscuit jar from the other end of the house!
Eczema - we have aveeno on prescription, and i find it is much better than the very greasy emollients. I put some on to my 2 year old before a bath, which has really helped stop the skin from drying out.
Does my little one need vitamin drops? He's 16 months old and half Indian half Irish so might need extra vitamin D. My gp says no but every other source of info says yes.
Which vitamin supplement do you recommend for a teenage vegetarian girl who currently takes a multi vitamin with iron but often seems tired?
Kittycat - thank you for your PM
My dd had actual reflux when she was younger & I found that cutting out dairy from my diet (she's bf) really helped so you may find it useful to do so for your DC. Will respond to your PM in a mo
My ds2 has silent reflux. Have you any tips re weaning? Foods to avoid? Since weaning his reflux isn't so silent, he's sick with his morning and bed time bottles. He's been having vegetable purées and yoghurts, I think the yoghurts are a problem and am concerned there may be dairy allergies now?
When my DS (5 mo) suffers a flare up of his eczema, he changes from a cheery chappy into a desperately unhappy little screamer, fighting to scratch, crying till he's bright red, making bedtime and nappy changes a battlezone... GP has him on hydrocortisones & emollients which have been pretty good at keeping it at bay and saving sanity all round...
Are there any other changes we could make around the home to help him out / minimise triggers?
He is EBF so far (would diet changes/limitations make any difference? Just trying to eat balanced diet
and not eat too much cake/ have a glass of wine every evening ) No smokers here but we do have a cat. Any help would be great.
My 3 yo has on numerous occasions been in contact with children who have then got chicken pox.
Why hasn't she had it?
Genuinely bewildered as they must have been contagious when she was there as other dcs caught it.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
How do you know whether a rash/dry skin is eczema or what?

Bad karma: we can't find that page!
You asked for http://www.medicexchange.com/mri/novel-mri-technique-shows-secondhand-smoke-damages-lungs.html, but despite our computers looking very hard, we could not find it. What happened ?
- the link you clicked to arrive here has a typo in it
- or somehow we removed that page, or gave it another name
- or, quite unlikely for sure, maybe you typed it yourself and there was a little mistake ?

MIAMI -- The circus comes to Miami this week, so it seemed appropriate for the Heat to force the San Antonio Spurs into walking the proverbial tightrope.
For the surging Southwest Division leaders, it wasn't a problem.
Tim Duncan scored 19 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and the Spurs trailed for only one possession in a nip-and-tuck 91-84 win over the Heat on Monday night, San Antonio's 14th victory in its last 17 games.
"These guys have been there before," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "They're a seasoned, veteran team that's played in a lot of big games. You could tell how much poise they have out there. They're totally calm in these type of situations. They've experienced it so many different times."
George Hill scored 15 points on 4-for-4 shooting for the Spurs, who got 11 points from both Roger Mason and Matt Bonner and 10 from Manu Ginobili.
Dwyane Wade had 24 points and 12 assists -- his eighth double-double of the season -- for the Heat, who also got 15 points from Shawn Marion. Michael Beasley had his first double-double, 15 points and 12 rebounds for Miami, which starts a seven-game, 13-day, 7,461-mile road trip in Denver on Wednesday night.
"They're a talented group," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Either team could have won the game. They're trying to play together with a couple of rookies and that always takes time. It doesn't come quickly."
Ginobili sealed it with, well, a circus play with 1:33 remaining.
Miami trailed 84-81 when Wade drove to the rim from the right wing, with Tony Parker getting in front to deter his progress a bit. Wade leaped for a layup -- but Ginobili, who isn't exactly known for high-flying exploits -- swatted it away, setting up a game-clinching jumper by Mason at the other end.
"Play of the game," Spoelstra said.
"He's an athletic guy and it was a great block," Wade said.
The Spurs ran out to a quick 10-point lead and shot 59 percent in the fourth quarter to hold off the Heat, who kept coming back and coming back and coming back -- only to have every rally thwarted.
The Heat were down 21-11 early, then closed the gap to a single point on three occasions in the second quarter.
Each of those times, San Antonio had an answer: a 3-pointer by Hill, jumper by Michael Finley, 3-pointer by Bonner, and that quickly became a trend for the evening.
"That's what they do," Marion said.
Marion got the final two baskets of the first half, including a nifty dunk off an assist from Mario Chalmers with 2.9 seconds left, knotting the game at 39 at the break. With 2:46 left in the third, Marion struck again, tipping in Jamaal Magloire's miss for a 56-55 lead -- Miami's first of the night.
It only lasted 31 seconds. Hill connected for a 3-pointer on San Antonio's next possession, putting the Spurs back on top.
"They hit some big shots when they needed to," Marion said. "It was just a good effort. Just a couple miscues here and there."
One more time, for good measure: Tied at 68, Hill drove on Chris Quinn, got fouled and made the layup to start a three-point play with 9:20 remaining. It started a 7-0 run by the Spurs, who never trailed again.
"We managed to find a way tonight," Duncan said. "Manu makes that (block) and we go down the other end and turn a one-point game into a five-point game. That's the way it went."
- Heat guard Daequan Cook, the NBA's fifth-best 3-point shooter over the last month at 53.4 percent, played only five minutes after bruising his left knee. X-rays were negative, but he went out with 9:46 left in the second quarter and did not return.
- Spurs C Fabricio Oberto (foot) sat out again, his ninth missed game out of San Antonio's last 10.
- More than a few fans wore Argentina's national soccer jersey and waved that nation's flag, a nod to Ginobili, a hugely popular star in his native country.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — School districts in Illinois will eventually get their fiscal year 2011 fourth quarter regular transportation payments, which had been targeted to be cut by the governor's budget office.
"Fortunately, a quick and targeted plea to local and state legislators put a halt to this action," said Ed Hightower, superintendent of Edwardsville (Ill.) School District 7. But he noted that the payments will be delayed.
News of the planned cut had led local and state school officials to reach out to lawmakers and the public for support. State Superintendent Christopher Koch had said that his office was working with the governor's office "to underscore the importance of these transportation funds to school districts and thereby avoid any such reduction."
Although the fourth quarter payment was saved, a new challenge surfaced for Illinois' school transportation community. State pupil transportation director Cinda Meneghetti said that Gov. Pat Quinn has now eliminated from his budget about $89 million in school transportation funding — out of a total of about $643 million — for the 2011-12 school year. But that cut could potentially be restored.
"It could be vetoed by both houses [of the Illinois General Assembly] in the fall," Meneghetti told SBF.

Bhupathi says 2013 would be his last year on tour
By PTI - KOLKATA

Last Updated: 04th December 2012 11:04 AM
Indian doubles tennis ace Mahesh
Bhupathi Monday said 2013 would be his last year on tour as he
has retirement in mind.
"I've had a great career. I don't enjoy leaving my baby alone and going for tours so much. I am happy to call it a day," Bhupathi, who has a career Grand Slam in mixed doubles, said here.
In the city for a promotional programme, the 38-year-old said, "I've had the opportunity to play alongside many great players...
"From Todd Woodbridge to Max Mirnyi to Leander Paes to Mary Pierce to Martina Hingis, it has been a great ride for me," he said.
He also spoke about the Sachin Tendulkar and said the critics should leave the Little Master alone.
"He does not need to prove anything to anybody. He has scored 100 centuries. The people in the media writing about him have no idea. He will take the right decision at the right time," Bhupathi said.

'TIFFE' outlines innovative vehicle temperature management system
The EU-funded 'TIFFE' project has developed a new vehicle with an innovative front-end design and advanced components for more efficient heat radiation and onboard cooling, and better fuel economy.
Staying competitive in the automobile manufacturing industry means delivering new products and systems that meet customer expectations. Today, that includes a high level of passenger comfort but also the best fuel efficiency.
With the EU-funded TIFFE project, Italy's Centro Ricerche Fiat (CRF) has borrowed an idea from an unlikely source – refrigeration units like the one in your kitchen – to deliver a system that can save up to 15% on fuel while improving onboard vehicle temperature management for passengers.
TIFFE coordinator Carloandrea Malvicino explains, "We've applied a cooling strategy more typically seen in household refrigerators, using a limited quantity of refrigerant to deliver high efficiency and very low leakage."
How it works
Inside your home refrigerator, a special fluid passes through a network of tubes and radiators, drawing heat from the interior of the fridge and dumping it on the outside of the fridge. The TIFFE system does the same thing in a moving vehicle. A special fluid takes heat from inside the vehicle and radiates it into the outside air through panels on the exterior of the vehicle.
Smaller, better and less expensive
Malvicino says the new system would cost less than a conventional system because of its high level of integration and modularity, and it will deliver a remarkable fuel economy increase of about 15% in real use.
European Commission project officer Maurizio Maggiore says, "The TIFFE project has come up with a novel way of improving a car's aerodynamics. One of the most interesting outcomes is the change to the front of the car, the grill, with its active shutter configuration."
Malvicino says he believes we can realistically expect to see vehicles featuring the complete TIFFE system on the market by around 2015, though he warns this is a rough estimation and will depend on progress made on some remaining technical issues. Some components, however, might reach production even earlier.

I feel that the issues that the campus reps are strict about are related to individual safety, and otherwise we are not denied from expressing ourselves in any way we can.
I think UCLA is a pretty safe campus. They have several way they protect their student by checking in each person in the residential halls to walking student from and to places at night.
Most things are average in security. Must get checked into dorms after 9PM. Many parking violations.
They are very busy but they get back through emails when possible.
I've never really seen the administration get involved. People drink alcohol and do drugs all of the time. And when there were protests about the tuition hikes, I don't think the administration did anything to stop it. If they did, I just did not know about it.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Though UCLA dubs itself a zero-tolerance institution, most Bruins find the authority system to be decently lax. While in Westwood and going between apartment parties, students should be cautious not to stumble or tote the ominous red cup because police (however lenient they may be) are always present. Cops have been known to break up such events as Undie Run, but the attitude toward them is generally one of tolerance, as they surely let students have their fun. And, of course, the UCPD responds quickly and efficiently when called. As far as parties, apartments get as rowdy as they like with hardly any police interference. The newly instated chancellor, however, has worked to institute policies that have severely decreased the intensity of Greek events and increased security at these parties.
Currently, security is relaxed in most dorms. Drinking in the rooms is arguably the No. 1 cause of citations, and punishment really depends on your respective RA's (resident assistant) attitude: some dish out hours of bathroom cleaning, and others inflict no sanctions at all. On most occasions, RAs are students too and respect their fellow Bruins' right to rage. If drinking is concealed and kept quiet in dorms, it's almost impossible to encounter trouble. Visitation policies make it easy to let guests share in the UCLA experience.

08 February 2011
1. Kyle Gibson, 23 years old, starting pitcher
(courtesy aarongleeman.com)
2010 stats: 11-6, 2.96 ERA in 152 innings, with 126/39 K/BB between Fort Myers (A+), New Britain (AA), and Rochester (AAA)
Last year's rank: N/A
Acquired: Drafted by the Twins in the 1st round (22nd overall) of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft
The Twins' selection of Gibson in the 2009 draft was a microcosm of the successful strategy that has helped them compete over the last decade. Gibson was a problematic draft prospect, with lingering arm problems that caused just about every other team to pass on the starting pitcher from the University of Missouri.
Minnesota, usually one of the most risk-adverse teams in the league, couldn't pass up Gibson's polish and four-pitch potential. The Twins deemed his forearm problems were deemed to be a minor concern, and Gibson proved them right by performing very well in 2010.
That Gibson signed late caused him to miss the 2009 season, though the rest was probably exactly what his arm needed to recuperate.
Gibson started the 2010 season in Fort Myers, hoping to adjust to wood bats and work out any mechanical problems the Twins thought should be fixed. After a few months in Florida, Gibson advanced to New Britain, where his dominance continued. He finished the season in Rochester, and remains just a short jump away from MLB action.
With four legitimate "plus" pitches, according to scouts, even the most pessimistic of prognosticators can't see Gibson as anything less than a mid-rotation starting pitcher in the big leagues. His ceiling isn't as high as some of Minnesota's younger prospects, but Gibson earns the top spot on the TwinsTarget Top 15 Prospect list this year because of how certain we are he will be a great starting pitcher.
Ideal Scenario: Gibson will spend a great deal of the 2011 season with the Rochester Red Wings, further showing off his ability to induce ground balls.
Path to the majors: There are plenty of prospects ready and willing to make the jump to the big leagues, but the Twins will only call upon pitchers they feel are ready and completely developed. Gibson highlights that crowd, and should be among the first promoted to help bolster an ailing bullpen or rotation in 2011.

- - How does Alves do against BJ and GSP ? (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/47544-how-does-alves-do-against-bj-gsp.html)
How does Alves do against BJ and GSP ?
Since it's a certainty that the winner will fight Thiago next.
Personally, I think Alves has a pretty decent shot at beating BJ but most people seem to disagree with me.
So, how do the fights go if it's Penn/Alves or GSP/Alves ?
I would say he has a better chance of beating Penn than George. Penn stood 5 rounds with sherk if he does that against thiago than lights out
I think he has a good shot at both of them. I think he would have a better shot at GSP because GSP is more easily KOed and BJ has a better chance lasting with Alves cuz of his chin, and because if it goes to the ground Penn would prolly show him whats up. But he would be huge compared to BJ so I dunno.
i think he'd be the favourite against Penn....bigger, stronger, better and more versatile striker, take down defense that should scary everyone....not to mention very good cardio
against gsp he'd be a slight underdog, cuz people seem to think gsp's td's are godlike...he's better standing than gsp, from the outside and inside...one of the few guys that has a very distinct advantage over gsp...
I think Alves would be a challenge for both St.-Pierre and Penn.
Since he's a very dangerous striker, I guess both guys would like to take him down sooner or later, and since GSP has better takedowns (and Alves is difficult to take down), and also has better cardio (while Alves might gas with his Belgian Blue frame), I think he would be the more likely to beat Alves.
However, if Alves was to win both of them, I think he would be more likely to finish GSP than to finish Penn.
GSP takes him down and either wins a UD or a late TKO. Because it's been so long since BJ has fought at LW, and we don't know if he'll have better cario or not, it's pretty hard to make a prediction on an Alves-BJ fight, just like it's hard to make a prediction on the upcoming BJ-GSP fight. Alves would probably be too big for him, but I don't know.
BJ penn lost to hughes via strikes- tko at ufc 63?
I think he would stand a better chance of beating BJ than he would of beating GSP. However I have been overwhelmingly suprised by Alves last few performances and I think a fight with GSP would be very competitive and he would stand a great chance of winning.
