Steamboat Today | Steamboat Pilot | Meeting the Challenge | Covering Routt County | Who We Are
The premiere issue of Steamboat Today rolled off the press on Aug. 21, 1989. A front page story about concerns related to a massive development proposed for the Lake Catamount area introduced Steamboat Springs to its first and only daily newspaper.
Started, at least in part, to complement the venerable Steamboat Pilot, the Today has broken free from an initially limited role and evolved into a respected, award-winning daily newspaper that serves every major community in Routt County.
That first, 16-page edition in 1989 is proof of what Steamboat Today's role was throughout its early existence: Straight news and sports five days a week, Monday through Friday. Although smaller, the Today's frequency of publication allowed it to report more quickly on breaking news events than its big brother, the Pilot. Flip through archived copies of the Today and you will see stories about the tragedy and triumph of daily life in Steamboat Springs. Under the direction of Editor Gary Maitland, Steamboat Today underwent a major redesign nine years after it was created. The changes that were made to the layout and news presentation in June 1997 coincided with another milestone in the newspaper's history: the addition of a sixth publication day. By publishing Monday through Saturday, the more attractive Steamboat Today could offer its readers more of everything.Though it remains a source of concise news, from local happenings to world events, the Today now gives readers a more comprehensive selection of articles, including features and in-depth analyses.
Steamboat Today, as it has since the beginning, will continue to grow with the community, always striving to offer readers the meaningful, accurate news of the day.
-- Mark Louden, News Editor, Steamboat Pilot
The Steamboat Pilot has been a part of Steamboat Springs since the days when sagebrush grew in the middle of Lincoln Avenue. It almost challenges the imagination to consider that when James Hoyle printed the first edition of the Pilot on July 31, 1885, there were five homes in Steamboat. That first newspaper was probably as well-read as could be expected. It carried a lengthy account of the death and burial of President Ulysses S. Grant. What it was that made Hoyle think he could feed and clothe his family on the income generated by the newspaper, we can only guess. Hoyle must have had extraordinary talents for hunting wild game.
Hoyle was an experienced typesetter, who moved his family to Steamboat from Boulder, in part to seek relief from the tuberculosis that afflicted him. He purchased a used printing press in Boulder, and loaded everything he thought he would need to print the newspaper into three horse-drawn freight wagons. It took he and his family 10 days to make the trip by way of Berthoud Pass, then Gore Pass and Egeria Park. When they entered the Yampa Valley, the wagons had to ford every stream, for there wasn't a single bridge in the region.
Hoyle was given a choice "downtown" lot by the Steamboat Town Company, and published his first issues on a foot-powered press located in a log cabin. In the fall of 1885, the Pilot found a permanent home in an 18-foot-by-24-foot sawed log building on Lincoln Avenue. Hoyle was not in good health, and the publication dates of the newspaper weren't reliable in the early days. Hoyle died on Dec. 9, 1894, and is buried in the Steamboat Springs Cemetery.
After Hoyle's death, Pleasant Valley homesteader John Weiskopf took charge of the newspaper. An enthusiastic prospector, he did much to stimulate interest in Routt County's mineral resource. But it was a young man from Mississippi named Charles Leckenby who was destined to lead the newspaper into the modern age. Charles followed his elder half-brother, Hiram "Harley" Leckenby, to Steamboat.
Harley was bound for Meeker from Nebraska when he joined up with another family that urged him to visit Steamboat via North Park. He stayed in the Yampa Valley for the abundance of wild game and fur-bearing animals. Harley enticed his younger brother to join him in this western paradise.
Charles Leckenby's journey to Steamboat was even more difficult than John Hoyle's. He made it as far as Laramie, Wyo., on the railroad, then hitched a ride into North Park on a freight wagon. Veteran North Park newspaperman John Moore sized up the tenderfoot, weighed the knowledge that the Park Range was already white with snow in late October, and urged the young man not to attempt to walk over Buffalo Pass alone.
Instead Moore sent word to Harley Leckenby that he'd better come fetch his brother.
This is Charles Leckenby's account of his arrival in Steamboat:
Harley came across the range from Steamboat Springs, risking his life and taking three days for the trip. The snow was deep and soft and his homemade skis were not very efficient. He was almost famished when he got to the Chedsey ranch. The only game he spied on the trip was a pine squirrel, which he killed and ate. We built a small cabin and spent the winter, a substantial part of the diet being jackrabbits, which were plentiful.
The two brothers spent the next summer working for a sawmill in North Park, but in September 1889, they headed west across the mountains. They loaded their bedding and provisions on a burro and crossed Buffalo Pass. The usual trail led along Soda Creek, but the two brothers headed down Fish Creek drainage and had "a terrible time getting down."
Charles went to work at the newspaper within days of his arrival and enjoyed his new trade. But during rough times, Charles and Harley became intrigued with reports of the orange groves outside Phoenix and hopped a series of freight trains headed south. Charles returned to Steamboat and to the newspaper. He worked his way up to becoming a partner in the Pilot, first with John Weiskopf and then, on May 1, 1909, with a printer named Delavan W. Gee. Six days later, during a high wind, the Wolcott, Steamboat Springs and Hahn's Peak stagecoach barn, next door to the newspaper, caught on fire and consumed the newspaper building 20 feet away. All that was saved was a desk, the subscription list and a few fonts of type.
Despite the fire, the newspaper kept publishing, with the courtesy of The Routt County Sentinel. Ground was broken for a new building on Sept. 1, 1909. The Sentinel merged with the Pilot in 1927 and Charles Leckenby continued a newspaper tradition he passed on to his son, Maurice, and grandson. Charles Leckenby's grandson, Chuck, eventually sold the Steamboat Pilot in the late 1980s, but the newspaper and Steamboat Springs are fortunate to continue to enjoy the deep commitment to family ownership provided by the Simons family of Lawrence, Kansas.-- Tom Ross, Staff Reporter
Meeting the challenge of a growing community
A growing community needs a watchdog to keep an eye on government. It needs a forum to voice opinions. It needs a venue to capture the emotions and accomplishments of its citizens. It needs an aggressive, committed newspaper.
The management and employees of the Steamboat Pilot, Steamboat Today and Hayden Valley Press understand and accept the leadership responsibility that comes with being the newspaper of record in our community. We are reminded daily by our readers that we have an important job to do -- to record the evolution of Routt County for posterity, to inform our citizens how their lives are impacted by change, to explain the sometimes complex nuances of government, to introduce the newsmakers and personalities who are shaping our future, to share the achievements and milestones of everyday people.
If we do our job correctly, your scrapbooks will be filled with momentoes of life that will be passed down from generation to generation. The magnets on your refrigerators will hold clipped out articles that serve as subtle reminders of school or community events. And your coffee tables won't be complete without a worn copy of our newspapers laying there for the entire family to read.
Measuring success is difficult in our business. We find ourselves constantly re-evaluating what constitutes news in the eyes of our readers. Your suggestions often force us to reflect upon our actions and reconsider our goals and objectives. Your criticisms frequently drive home the point that in hindsight, we failed to meet your expectations. But the input, both positive and negative, makes us more acutely aware of our obligations. It helps shape our coverage and it makes us better journalists. The greatest challenge we face as we march into a new millennium is keeping our news products in touch with our readers. It is a challenge we accept with enthusiasm.
It is a task we take to heart. It is a goal that defines our focus. The changing face of our city and county adds intrigue to our daily challenge. Converting that intrigue into stories and photographs that capture the essence of what this community is about and where it is going forces us to be innovative and flexible. Being successful requires that we involve you, the readers, in our process.
As we look to the future, we see an even more dynamic and interactive partnership between ourselves and our readers. The opportunities for dialogue and interaction are growing and we are committed to embracing those opportunities so that our connection with our community will be stronger tomorrow than it is today.
-- Suzanne Schlicht, Publisher and Regional Manager

Some health rules are followed religiously, but really have no medical or scientific foundation at all. Here are 13 popular rules that aren't as hard-and-fast as you might think, according to HealthwaysFit.com.
Don't crack your knuckles
The myth is that this habit will cause arthritis. It may be annoying, but no medical studies prove cracking or popping your fingers will lead to arthritis.
Don't go outside with wet hair
It may make you feel chilly (wet hair doesn't insulate well), but it won't make you sick. Colds are caused by a virus that is usually spread by droplets from someone's cough or sneeze.
Drink eight cups of water a day
As long as you're drinking enough so that you don't feel thirsty, you urinate often, and your urine is nearly colorless, you're probably getting enough water.
Don't swim after you eat
There's no evidence that this causes cramps, which could possibly lead to drowning. While it's true that eating diverts some blood to the digestive system, most experts agree your body can still provide enough blood and oxygen during exercise to keep cramps from happening.
Avoid reading in dim light
You may get a headache and strain your eyes, but experts say poor lighting will not cause permanent damage to your eyesight. Ditto for sitting too close to a television or computer screen.
Use birth control that follows your monthly cycle
Traditional birth control pills are based on a 28-day cycle. In the past, doctors sometimes adjusted the dosage for women with painful or heavy periods. But with the advent of extended-cycle birth control pills, you can skip your period altogether or have it just a few times a year.
Sugar makes kids hyper
While too much of it will cause teeth problems, it's a common myth that sugar creates hyperactivity in children.
The 'five-second' rule
We've all heard this one when someone scoops food off the floor, as if germs stand by with a stopwatch to wait to latch onto food.
Feed a cold, starve a fever
This has been an English wives tale for centuries, but there's no concrete evidence to support it. When it comes to illness, drinking plenty of fluids is key to a quick recovery.
Coffee makes you dehydrated
People living in warm climates are usually warned not to consume too much caffeine because of its diuretic properties, which could lead to dehydration. A recent study showed that people who drank decaffeinated beverages only had a 3 percent difference in water retention, thus showing that caffeine and caffeinated beverages don't cause dehydration.
You need eight hours of sleep each night
Not everyone needs eight hours of sleep a night. Some people run fine on six while others can barely function without nine. In fact, there's historical evidence that humans used to sleep in intervals: two hours at dusk, a two-hour waking period, and then a second sleep. The amount of sleep you need varies on a variety of factors, including illness, stress, physical activity, and more. As a good rule, if you awake feeling tired, you probably need more or better sleep.
Warm milk helps you sleep
Yes, milk contains tryptophan, the same sedative found in turkey, but you'd have to drink a lot to knock you out for the night. The response people feel from it is entirely psychological, so it can help you fall asleep if you think it will.
Gum stays in your stomach for seven years
Every child who has swallowed his gum has heard this one. Chewing gum, just like anything else you swallow, will get picked up by the fluids and other food in your stomach and moved through digestion in just a few days.

After talking to Miss Cleo - she says that the knicks will lose once again.
Zach Randolph
Malik Rose
David Lee
New York Knicks(8-24) vs Chicago Bulls(13-19)
Tuesday, January 7 at 8:30PM ET Live on MSG
Welcome to MSGKNickz33 pregame show, Im your host Jazzy Jeff and Im here to breakdown Tuesday nights matchup. The Knicks have lost 7 straight games and I think its safe to say their season is over. The last time the Knicks played the Bulls it inspired me to make a poll question that asked which of these 3 teams have had the most dissapointing season: The Knicks, the Bulls, or the Miami Heat. Since then the Bulls have played good enough to no longer belong in the same question with the other 2 teams but they are still struggling, winning 5 out of their last 10. Being 6 games under .500, they are still in the playoff picture. When your team is 16 games under .500, you know its time to give up and start thinking about the draft.
Lets take a look at the starting lineups for both teams.
The Chicago Bulls
pg-Chris Duhon
sg-Kirk Hinrich
sf-Luol Deng
pf-Joe Smith
C-Ben Wallace
Tonights Key Matchup: Stephon Marbury vs Chris Duhon
Chris Duhon does a good job of taking care of the ball and finding his teammates. He is not a great shooter and he should not be a major problem for the Knicks. I do not think this team can win this game without a good game from Stephon Marbury. They need him to play well on both ends of the court but you cant put to much pressure on him, this is still just his 4th game back after missing almost the entire month of December. He was a key in the Knicks victory over the Bulls earlier this season at the Garden. His defense on Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich combined with his efficient offense helped the Knicks defeat the Bulls.
Marbury vs Chicago on November 24:
19pts(6-12)(2-3 3pt), 6rbs, 4asts, 1 blk, 1stl
Kirk Hinrich-11pts(5-18)
Ben Gordon-13pts(4-17), 5TO
Not only did Marbury get it done on offense but his defense was nothing short of spectacular.
What do the Knicks need to do to win?
- Chicago is the 11th best team defensively in the league. Knicks need to take care of the ball, move the ball around and play as a team.
- Ben Gordon is very productive off the bench and the Knicks cannot let him run up the score because he is fully capable of doing this.
- Attack Ben Wallace!!!! He's getting older and Curry had a couple of good games against him last year.
- Box Out!!!! Chicago is a better rebounding team. At the same time, the Knicks should be a better rebounding team then they are so they need to work on boxing out and putting more effort in.
Chicago has a tough bench. Ben Gordon, Tyrus Thomas, Andres Nocioni, and Joakim Noah are all capable of coming into the game and making an impact. Once this Chicago team gets things together, they're going to be tough because they have a good starting 5 and one of the better benches in the league. Nocioni would be a starter on many teams, he is intense and passionate about the game of basketball. The Knicks also have a talented bench. Look for David Lee and Nate Robinson to come into the game and make a difference. Nate Robinson has been on a tear, lets look at some of his numbers over the last 7 games:
49% 3pt
Very impressive shooting percentages and keeping the turnovers done. Nate has really stepped up his play and the percentages dont lie, he is the best shooter on this team.
Now lets take a look at some interesting Ben Gordon stats. They show how he is much more productive off the bench then as a starter.
Ben Gordon
26 games, 35.7 minutes, 17.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 33.6 3p%
Off the bench
6 games, 37.2 minutes, 28.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 45.2 3P%
Im sorry but I think Im outta stats and that will do it for this show. Im Jazzy Jeff and I thank everyone for joining me, catch the Knicks and Bulls Tuesday night on MSG.

After talking to Miss Cleo - she says that the knicks will lose once again.
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Over the last 5 years, the Knicks have sucked on the road. They will just have to pray that Kirk Hindrich, Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni,Joe Smith,Chris Duhon,and Loul Deng don't knock down perimeter shots all day long. The Bulls will have SEVERAL,and I mean SEVERAL wide open shots and easy lanes for lay ups. I think the Knicks will win this one, because they Knicks are 1-13 on the road, and every dog has its day. But I don't expect the Knicks to play any better than they have most of this season this game, and I don't think they'll use this win to boost their confidence, if they beat the Bulls.
Im not sure if you are refering to this statement, it was actually kind of a joke because of how the home fans boo them all the time and this is actually a game thread from when the Knicks played the Bulls in Chicago earlier this season. I re-did it and suprisingly it took me longer then it usually does because I was inspired to look up all these stats so I can drop some knowledge on everyone. It took some time to figure out Nates averages over the past 7 games which are extremely impressive, and to look at how Marbury did last time he played against Chicago.
I also threw in some interesting Ben Gordon stats, it really suprised me how much better he does off the bench then as a starter. My job is to drop knowledge with my game threads, come with something creative that most other game threads dont have but I shouldve taken out the "this should be a close game" part, now everyone will think Im on crack. I better edit this and cut that part out.
I just fixed another problem, it said "look for Lee, Balkman, and Nate Robinson to come into the game and make an impact." I took Balkman out of there, that shmuch Isiah isnt playin him.
I wasn't referring to that statement. lol I just think the Knicks will have one their 2-5 wins per month tomorrow night. The Knicks are a rare win team, and I think it's that time of the month where they get a rare win. lol They haven't won at all this month, and I think the Knicks are bound to win at least 2 this month.
cAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT CHANNEL MSG2 IS ON.
they should man...just check msg.com
damn guys its getting so bad im hoping the knicks are off every day so they at least dont get another loss.. Is that bad or what? I live in SA n i was at the game the other night with all my knicks gear on, and its sad but i was totally satisfied with the loss.. i mean with them just being in the game made me so happy..
Bleeding orange and blue even through tough times
word i wasent so mad about the lost...we atleast did good...and its SAN ANTONIO! like c mon but still i get mad when we lost by like 20! which we have alot this season
yeah man at least if the teams shows heart and that they want to win thats all we ask for.. but those games where u can tell they are done after the third quarter or something its like damn...
Bleeding orange and blue even through tough times
You're from San Antonio? You should join their band wagon then,cause the Knicks are not making the playoffs any time soon. And when they finally do(which they most likely will within the next 10 years) they'll get swept for the 3rd straight time, just like they got swept by the Raptors 3-0 and the Nets 4 to 0.
dude you know how hard it is to stay true to your team when the team in your backyard is racking up the trophies while my team is just gettin worse and worse..its crazy man.. but growing up in new york i just cant let go dont know what it is man.. but yea i feel ya.. spurs at full strength are gonna be tough to beat again this year.. im thinkin spurs over celts in 6
Bleeding orange and blue even through tough times
btw bro what does ABCD stand for?
Bleeding orange and blue even through tough times

Freedom Newspapers
The coup d'etat or whatever has occurred in the former Soviet Republic of Kyrgyzstan has developed so quickly that even opposition leaders don't seem to have been prepared for assuming power. More than a welling up of democratic impulses, however, what appears to be happening is a redistribution of the power and wealth of the state among the various clans that have tussled over effective power since before the Soviets took power during Stalin's era.
What happened politically? Briefly, following two rounds of parliamentary elections, widely viewed as rigged (then-President Askar Akayev saw to it both his son and daughter were elected), opposition groups in the impoverished south took over major cities and marched toward the capital of Bishkek. When they got to the presidential palace, they found Akayev had fled — perhaps to Russia. What to do next?
Well, they released one Felix Kulov, a former vice president and former head of the KGB in Kyrgyzstan, from prison, and he has been acting as head of security forces since Thursday. But there are two parliaments that claim to be in control — the old one and the new one, stacked with even more, newly elected, Akayev supporters — and the two have been issuing conflicting decrees.
What is really going on, according to Theodore Karasik, an historian at the Rand Corp., is a reshuffling of clans and, to a lesser extent, ethnic power. "Kyrgyzstan is an artificial creation of the Soviet empire," he said, "and although there are 22 major clans, it is constructed so there will always be a north-south split."
The opposition leaders are all former Akayev cronies, not budding tribunes of the people. Indeed, some stories suggest that Akayev, a physicist by training, had tired of politics and only tried to stay in power to protect the interests of his wife's clan.
After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan was widely praised as a bastion of free speech and democracy in Central Asia. But clan interests soon predominated and the government became increasingly authoritarian. If demonstrations that look democratic succeed in putting a former KGB boss in power, the irony will be complete.
All this is of interest to the United States because it has a military base in Kyrgyzstan that continues to be important in supporting U.S. operations in Afghanistan. It is unlikely, however, that the current opposition would ask the United States to leave.
The speed of the coup demonstrates the fragility and artificiality of governance in Kyrgyzstan. The United States would do well to stay in touch with all sides until the highly volatile situation stabilizes.

University of Hawaii leaders were in the hot seat at a Senate hearing on Monday.
Lawmakers looked at the accountability of the Athletics Department as well as the leadership of the school.
Early on in the marathon meeting, U.H. President M.R.C. Greenwood was defensive over the removal of Jim Donovan as Athletic Director.
"This is personal, I wish you wouldn't make this public," said Greenwood.
But that is exactly why Senators held the meeting. They felt there wasn't enough transparency over what has been going on.
"Put it out in the open. Let people know you are not hiding anything," said Senator Donna Mercado Kim.
The announcement of Donovan's reassignment from the Athletics Department came during the Stevie Wonder concert fiasco, an event Donovan had originally approved. University leaders then faced pressure to reinstate him from the public and lawmakers.
"I was told in the Governor's office that the President of the Senate and the House Speaker had been contacted by their constituents because they were concerned of what was going on, and there was a strong preference to put Donovan back in the Athletic Director's position," said Greenwood.

- 2 medium oranges (peeled - use a knife, cut generously around the edges to remove a lot of the white rind as well as the skin)
- 1 apple (chopped)
- 1 cup spinach (or more)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Add all ingredients to blender. Place soft ingredients like bananas in first, because that's what I was taught!
- 2. Blend in your high-speed blender until nicely smooth.
- 3. Your green smoothie is ready! Pour green smoothie into cup(s) or a large mason jar for on-the-go goodness.
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
I have been a raw vegan for over two four years. And for breakfast almost every single day I have a green smoothie. And I am still not sick of them yet, if you can believe that! I can make them super quickly, and I always keep the main ingredients on hand.
If you have any trust in me believe me when I tell you that in order to make a tasty green smoothie you absolutely must have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or a Blendtec. Otherwise it'll be chunky and grainy and downright disgusting and you'll have to pinch your nose to get it down. When it comes to green smoothies texture is everything and high-speed blenders are going to take a slightly disgusting chunky mixture and turn it into a silky smoothie like the one in this photo that actually tastes delicious--like a treat. Texture is everything when it comes to this green smoothie recipe.
This may not be the most exciting green smoothie recipe in the world, but it's what I have for breakfast almost every morning so I figured that you'd like to know what I have for breaky! What I like about it as well is that it's not too expensive, since bananas are inexpensive here in Canada.
To clean your blender: Add 1-2 cups of water into your blender immediately and blend again to aid in cleaning process. Take carafe to sink and finish rinsing/cleaning blender right away. I am not a good housekeeper but the one rule in my house is to NEVER let the Vitamix carafe sit uncleaned. NEVER! Why? Because then if I'm lazy later on and it's not clean then I won't use it, then I won't know what to make, and I'll just eat nuts for dinner because I'm too lazy to clean the blender. NEVER store recipes in your blender for this reason. :)
This recipe makes quite a large green smoothie, it's a perfect breakfast for 1 person. This is my go-to breakfast.

Used a mango instead of bananas and the result is just as awesome!!!Simply heavenly!

Usually smoothie s ratio is more about 1/4 fruit versus 3/4 veggie no?
Hi! I am not sure I understand your question, Flo - are you saying that this recipe needs more veg?

Etta's Review
Rawtarian's silky green smoothie recipe
Thanks for the recipe! Although I now have a Vitamix, I successfully made green smoothies with a NutriBullet almost every day for a year before I made the investment!
If you are using fresh fruit and raw spinach, I found it to be pretty easy, although I did have to process it for longer, and do it in 2 batches because the container was quite small--BUT--it works!
I am not saying my Vitamix doesn't do a far better job, and I am very glad I was able to make the investment but it is not NECESSARY for a beginner to go out and drop hundreds of dollars.
I even successfully made banana nice cream in the NutriBullet, and if you give frozen produce a but of time to thaw before blending it CAN handle it.
I made the investment in a Vitamix only after I knew that I would use it almost every day, and often several times a day. So if you want to go raw vegan, incorporating smoothies is a great and delicious way to do it, don't be scared off by the expensive appliances like high speed blenders, juicers and dehydrators, start small and work your way up. I would a blender is the best place to start, and it doesn't have to be hundreds of dollars, just be sure to process greens in the blender longer and see how you like it!
Etta, I couldn't agree with you more!!
Start where you are, I say :)
Sep 20, 2016
Now I see why you could drink this every morning. It's so good!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Haintso!
Feb 02, 2016
It says consume immediately. What would the harm be if it is prepared the night before?
It won't kill you, but it will congeal and get kinda thick and not very appetizing. Still edible, just a bit... unappealing :) You might need to eat it with a spoon.
Jan 30, 2016
OH wonderful! Thanks a bunch!
My pleasure Patricia!
Jan 29, 2016
Hello. I'm a little confused on the serving size for the smoothie. Am I supposed to eat the entire smoothie for breakfast or only 1/3 of it, saving the other 2/3 for the other days of the week? Thanks for your help. LOVE The Rawtarian! :)
Hi Patricia!
Drink the whole thing for breakfast! Don't save any. (The serving size is mostly just there to help you calculate calories if you're into that.)

My mouth is in heaven! So yummy!
No better place to be! :)

Rawtarian's silky green smoothie recipe
I've been drinking this smoothie every morning for two weeks. I love it and am seriously addicted now. I add half a dessert spoon of peanut butter and another of honey. Thank you!
Hi Karen, glad you can't live without! :)

I have substituted 1/3 of a med large avocado for banana in both the green smoothie & the lemonade one. They were both spectacular tasting & creamy delicious- way more than if they had banana flavor which I abhor. Makes an awesome replacement.
A+ for creativity, Becky! Thx for sharing - other folks may want to do the same! :)

Is this recipe for one or two people?
I drink this all by myself for breakfast! :)

ldp's Review
Rawtarian's silky green smoothie recipe
Love the smoothie but want to verify the nutrition info please. Am I correct that it is actually 3 servings so the nutrition info needs to be multiplied by 3 for my tracking purposes? Don't mean to sound like a dolt but the yield is 1 smoothie and the servings are 3...
Hi LDP! Yes, you are correct - the serving size is quite small on this one, so if drinking the entire thing the nutritional info would need to be multiplied by three. Hope this helps!
Very tasty. I enjoyed it and felt full afterward
Glad you enjoyed, Realraw! :)
Feb 18, 2015
Good thing I don't care much about texture! I make this with a mini blender and yes, it's a bit chunky, but probably because I don't add any water in it. I eat it with a spoon like oatmeal! Not disgusting at all. To keep it low in calories and sugars I add only one banana, chopped, at the end. So my point is, you can make this without a powerful blender. if you're not very fussy about texture details. :)

Spotty snowfall in the Upper Midwest is making some business owners happy and hurting others.
Snow accumulation is below normal across the region for the second consecutive winter. It's picked up over the past week as temperatures have fallen dramatically. But some areas are having a feast and others a famine.
In much of Wisconsin and Minnesota, snowmobile rental companies and plow truck drivers are getting little demand. Chicago got its first inch-deep layer of snow Friday.
Sarah Long said bare ground caused her resort in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to lose nearly three weeks' worth of reservations. But heavy lake-effect snow in recent days has turned things around.
Some resorts have begun offering winter activities that don't require snow, such as wine tasting and ice fishing.

More and more people in the La Crosse area are struggling to find enough food to eat.
It's called being "food insecure".
According to the Wisconsin Women, Infants and Children Nutrition program or the WIC program 53 percent of people in La Crosse County have food insecurities.
That's up about 5 percent from a decade ago.
For one struggling working mother, doing whatever she can to make sure her kids get enough to eat is her top priority.
La Crosse single mother of two Lorie Henkel does the best she can to take care of her kids.
"I keep it as normal as I can for my kids because they shouldn't have to worry or stress over where stuff's coming from," said Henkel.
Both of her children have special needs, and living on a fixed income, Henkle said she can't always afford everything 3-year old Alma and her older brother 6-year old David need.
That includes food.
"I mean, some nights you literally sit there and you cry because you don't know what to do next, and it gets really hard because those are my children," said Henkel.
She gets by with help from food stamps and food pantries in the area as well as the Wisconsin WIC program, but Henkel said sometimes that isn't enough.
"I think my kids are still hungry," said Henkel. "Sometimes I just leave the last for them. I mean, it's all about taking care of them."
While the new report shows more than half of the La Crosse County population has food insecurities, that number is 1 percent lower than the state rate, but the numbers are growing.
La Crosse County Nutrition Supervisor Jennifer Loging said many things are behind the increase including the cold weather.
"The time of year, winter, can be more difficult because of electricity, (and) heating costs," said Loging. "Families have rent to pay, families have utilities, cars, car insurance, car repairs. There's just a lot of different expenses that families have, so sometimes food is cut."
The program currently helps about 2,200 people in the county.
Loging said she doesn't see the program going away anytime soon, and Henkel said she's thankful for that.
"It's just me and my kids," said Henkel. "Every day is a struggle, but somehow we manage to make it because there are some good resources in La Crosse. You just have to look for them."
Henkel is planning to go back to school this fall. She said working towards a college degree while supporting two children will be tough, but it will help her better provide for her kids in the future.

The American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment released its annual top 10 list for sustainable architecture and green design. The program, in its 14th year, showcases projects that feature an integrated approach to architect, natural systems and technology. The list was compiled by a jury of design professionals.
355 11th Street Matarozzi/Pelsinger Building, San Francisco; Aidlin Darling Design
355 11th is a LEED-NC Gold adaptive-reuse of a historic and previously derelict turn-of the-century industrial building. Because the project site is on the National Register of Historic Places, the San Francisco Planning Department mandated that the project's new siding be an "in-kind" replacement of the original unsalvageable corrugated metal siding and that the overall window area be consistent between old and new. The design team successfully championed a strategy of introducing subtle perforations into the new zinc cladding to allow light and air into the occupied spaces beyond, maintaining the stoic character of the original building without the visual introduction of new fenestration.

City of Watsonville Water Resources Center, Watsonville, Calif.; WRNS Studio
The Water Resources Center is a functional, educational and visual extension of the water recycling plant it supports. The new 16,000-square-foot building consolidates three different city and county water departments into a workspace that allows for thoughtful and continuous collaboration on issues of water management, conservation and quality in the Pajaro Valley. The facility includes administrative offices, a water quality lab, educational space and a design that puts the story of water in California on display. The building, its systems and its landscape will serve to educate the public through exhibition and guided tours.
KAUST, Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; HOK
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology is a new international, graduate-level research university established to drive innovation in science and technology and to support world-class research in areas such as energy and the environment. KAUST's new campus is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's first LEED certified project and the world's largest LEED Platinum project. By integrating sustainable measures into the site planning, the community, the building design and the campus operations, the university is demonstrating new ways to build in the region and promoting responsible stewardship of the environment.
Kroon Hall - Yale University, New Haven, Conn.; Hopkins Architects and Centerbrook Architects Planners
Located on a brownfield site, Kroon Hall was designed as a net zero energy building. The architects and the University wanted Kroon Hall to set a new standard for schools around the country. It had to function not simply as a sustainable overlay that offset unsustainable practices in people's everyday lives but as something that inspired and encouraged people to alter their lives and become more sustainable citizens. This was accomplished through a mix of active and passive design measures and visible, invisible and interactive building features.
Manassas Park Elementary School + Pre-K, Manassas Park, Va.; VMDO Architects, P.C.
MPES is fundamentally designed around the premise that people, especially children, cannot be expected to preserve or protect something they do not understand. As such, the school is conceived as a teaching tool that shepherds children along a path of environmental stewardship. Inside and out, sustainable design is integrated with the elementary curriculum. Design decisions were made with the expressed goal of showcasing as many teachable moments as possible. Interior extended-learning spaces offer dramatic and surprisingly intimate views of the neighboring mixed oak forest, while elementary classrooms face shady moss and fern-covered learning courtyards featuring "fallen" trees and other particularities of an eastern deciduous forest floor.
Manitoba Hydro Place, Winnipeg, Manitoba; Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects and Smith Carter Architects and Engineers
Manitoba Hydro Place was designed utilizing a formal integrated design process to achieve daunting goals of energy efficiency, healthy workplace environment, urban revitalization, sustainability and architectural excellence. A model for bioclimatic design in an extreme climate that fluctuates 70°C annually, the 'Capital A' form is site specific to harness the maximum amount of passive solar and wind energies and to provide 100% fresh air, 24/7.
Michael J. Homer Science Student Life Center, Atherton, Calif.; Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects
The 44,109-square-foot building incorporates an unusual hybrid program of eight sophisticated science classrooms, a 700-seat auditorium, a 350-seat dining hall with full commercial kitchen and administrative offices in spaces that inspire scientific inquiry, foster a strong learning community and promote environmental stewardship. The design encourages scientific inquiry, linking the school's science curriculum to building functions throughout the seasons.
Omega Center for Sustainable Living, Rhinebeck, N.Y.; BNIM Architects
The Omega Center for Sustainable Living is a very purposeful building and site, designed to clean water, return the clean water to the local systems, and educate users about the process. Eco-Machine technologies were selected to clean the water utilizing natural systems including the earth, plants and sunlight. The entire building and water process utilize site-harvested renewable energy to create a net zero energy system.
Special No. 9 House, New Orleans, La.; KieranTimberlake
The Special No. 9 House was designed for the Make It Right Foundation to provide storm-resistant, affordable, and sustainable housing options for the residents of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward displaced by Hurricane Katrina. To support Make It Right's goal of building 150 homes in the Lower Ninth Ward, this single-family home is poised for mass production, anticipating a shift from on-site to off-site fabrication as more homes are scheduled for construction.
Twelve|West, Portland, Ore.; Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects LLP
Rising 23 stories above the intersection of Twelfth and Washington streets in Southwest Portland, Twelve|West is a mixed-use building designed with sustainability and ongoing learning as integral goals. Twelve|West was designed to achieve the highest levels of urban sustainability, and is expected to earn a Platinum rating under LEED NC overall and LEED CI for the office floors. An emphasis was put on selecting low-impact materials, including salvage, reclaimed and FSC-certified wood. Much of the concrete building structure is exposed on the interior minimizing the use of finish material and providing ample thermal mass. Energy use reduction was a primary driver of the design. Simulations predict energy savings of 45% over a baseline code building.

A comfortable bed, a warm shower and a hot breakfast may sound appealing for a simple night away from home, but basic sleepover accommodations do not seem to cut it anymore for adventure seekers and explorers when on vacation.
Nowadays, sightseers seek the extraordinary to satisfy their acute personalities, and hotel companies have upped the ante to become locations acting as more than just a space to lay your head at night.
The following businesses provide the attraction element of a getaway without having to beyond the hotel for it, and they are recognized around the world for their eccentric details and ambition.
Each experience is sure to satisfy tourists preferring cold or warm climates in resorts located above or below sea level or in expansive or constricting spaces. One even holds fictional significance.
Up first, do you just want to chill on your vacation?
No. 5: Ice Hotel -- Jukkasjärvi, Sweden
Located in the village of Jukkasjärvi, Sweden, warm-blooded individuals can stay at the noted frozen Ice Hotel.
Business is open December to April inside the igloo, which is built from scratch each year. The hotel is essentially a work of art, a sculpture built by architects, artists and designers, and the temperature inside ranges from a chilling -8 to a -5 degrees Celsius.
Guests curl up inside sleeping bags atop beds constructed of snow and ice and are treated to warm juice and a sauna visit when waking. The resort features a gourmet restaurant as well as an ice bar full of icy drinks and wines.
Though the hotel also offers heated rooms in another location, they insist that the experience is not complete without a night in the igloo.
For nature enthusiasts, the next location is a world away from blizzards, found in a climate familiar with thunderstorms and heat ...
No. 4: Jungle Parks Resort -- Wayanad, India
The Jungle Parks Resort, located in the rainforest in Wayanad, India, provides travelers with a firsthand view of clouds, tree tops and wildlife in tree house hotels found 90 feet above ground.
Although the dwellings rest atop strong ficus trees, tourists are welcomed with Western amenities of (cold) showers, sinks and toilets. Ecologically friendly materials were used when building the resort, and kerosene lamps, organic foods and a no-plastic policy is enforced.
On the ground, activities consist of elephant safaris, boating and bird watching, among many more. But weary travelers, beware: One must approach the trees by way of wicker cages, the houses tend to sway in the wind (especially during the rainy season) and leeches live among the resort's limits.
Each tree house costs around $220 per night and includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea for two.
After sleeping in the skies, one must stay a night under the waves with aquatic life and a coral-reef backdrop ...
No. 3: Poseidon Undersea Resort -- Fiji
Diving 20,000 leagues under the sea may be a reality only when inside a submarine or the pages of a novel, but sleeping 40 feet under the sea is an actuality in the waters of Fiji.
The Poseidon Undersea Resort is the first of its kind, with 24 underwater suites and one apartment complete with glass walls and an oceanic view like no other.
Under the waves, guests can find a massage studio, a fine-dining restaurant and the world's only underwater wedding chapel. Excursions include submarine diving, scuba diving and walks along the lagoon floor.
Poseidon's introductory seven-day package runs at $30,000 per couple, but includes suites on beachside villas, gourmet meals and access to sports equipment.
From the ocean to the night sky, there are many environments capable of making one feel microscopic, but the next resort does the exact opposite, as sleeping there could become quite claustrophobic ...
No. 2: Asakusa Riverside Hotel -- Tokyo, Japan
Guests of all shapes and sizes, though individuals of smaller stature would be most comfortable, can find budget-friendly prices at the Asakusa Riverside hotel in Tokyo, Japan.
But don't be fooled, because the cost of the sleeping space (about $32 U.S.) pays for a coffin-sized capsule stacked on top of others as if they were washing machines in a laundromat.
Each capsule includes a ceiling-mounted television with attached alarm clock, air settings and a panic button in case of emergency.
When checking in, guests also receive dressing gowns, tooth brushes, towels and razors. All customers share a public bathroom, a ladies-only floor is offered and in true Japanese style, a karaoke pub is located inside the building as well.
At first glance, the next hotel also seems fitting for smaller patrons, but die-hard J.R.R. Tolkien fans consider it a treasure despite their human attributes ...
No. 1: Hobbit Motel -- Waikato, New Zealand
Sleeping in the literal hillside dwellings of the fictional Hobbits from the "Lord of the Rings" saga is now a reality for science fiction and literature enthusiasts in Waikato, New Zealand.
The world's first Hobbit motel is a visual replication of the Hobbit homes shown in the films, (circular windows and arched ceilings galore), and features two units with kitchens, bathrooms and specially designed furniture.
Once inside, the homes are triple the size of the fictional house descriptions, making it easy to comfortably stand up without crouching over. A total of six people can stay in each unit, and the cost is around $180 a night per couple.
While visiting with wizards and going on quests may not be on the itinerary, numerous activities are available in the area such as touring a glow worm cave and watching a humorous stage show about New Zealand culture.

Welcome back, Astralwalker! It has been a long time of my worry. It seems the evil conspirators of the Dark Side has not assassinated you.Astralwalker wrote:Its too late to do some major difference. Anything that proof this statement wrong is most welcomed.
How could we get aware of the gamma ray explosion in the centre of Milky Way if we could not see it? If it has not got here, it still could not be seen (detected). If it (has) already got here, it surely passed out. If it is about to get here, we have to be able to see the centre is/was about to explode in the past, but how could we see inside the workings of the gigantic black hole then? This is a very obscure thing to me. Would you focus on this part of the truth and explain? There is another obscure thing beside the ones in your post: why do you want desperately to destroy the world in theory? Maybe I ask too much from you, so I voluntarily clear up the latter somewhat to spare your time:Astralwalker wrote:Since we are aware that gamma bust occurred around 26 thousand years ago in the center of the Milky Way,
This statement seems a discouragement, and that may mean you won't respond again, however, I inform you your answer has not served its purpose in case it was to convince me. And if its purpose was to make a show of a due response, I reserve the right to reject the show as a response. I have had enough show and legerdemain anyway.astralwalker wrote:That's all the time I can dedicate to you my friend. I hope it will serve its purpose.
Infrared, Gamma ray, visible light, radio wave, are all the same. You have presented the same incredible thing in other words. So I ask you again: how could we detect the Gamma explosion if neither the gamma ray nor the infrared light cannot arrive before one? But seeing how busy you are, I answer my question instead of you. There is no way to detect such a gamma 'Superwave'. There is no way to detect the dark matter as well (I have read the 'scientific' article you recommended), because the very meaning of the so called dark matter is it cannot be detected any way. The concept of the dark matter was invented to cosmeticise astrophysical theories.astralwalker wrote:In other words it takes 26 000 years for the light to reach our planet. That does not apply for infrared observation.
I hope you are not threatening me here.astralwalker wrote:Take care,

One good thing about that is the hunter gatherers supposedly lasted over 100,000 years without hardly any type of wars, or social declines such as has been the case during our current situation of civilization! So maybe it was a sort of a paradise back then, closer to the earth, and nature, and utilizing only what is needed, not needing greed of material things to survive! I know our current civilization has made great progress on many fronts, but also has declined to such destruction that the balance is lop sided towards all out WWIII, which is not attractive at all considering nuclear war could devastate our planet where there could be not even one human surviving, but if some ET's save a few and take them far away from this planet to survive, then start another earth like planet somewhere else, and when our earth recovers, they could bring some back to start all over again.

Pair charged in scrapyard scamDecember 27,2013Two men charged
in scrapyard scam
An employee at a Rutland Town salvage yard and a customer are facing felony charges for allegedly tipping the scales on scrap metal brought to Rosen & Berger Auto Parts, according to Vermont State Police.

Withington, 42, was also arrested and charged with a felony count of conspiracy and misdemeanor offenses of larceny and driving with a suspended license.
Police said another man, Glenn Carvey, 44, of Rutland was charged with driving without a license. Police did not specify what role, if any, Carvey had in the alleged weight conspiracy.

Infertility Surgeries for Men
Women used to be blamed for the majority of couples' fertility problems; however, data from the last 20 years of research has proven that a problem in the man alone is found in approximately 30 percent of cases, and in another 20 percent both the man and woman have an abnormality. Therefore, a male problem is at least partly responsible in about 50 percent of infertile couples. Many treatments are available today to diagnose and correct male infertility issues, and many of these require surgery. The following are some of the most common surgeries performed on men who are trying to conceive.
Varicocelectomy - This procedure is performed to treat varicoceles in the testes, which occur when blood flow is backed up, causing an enlarged vein. Varicoceles can reduce sperm production due to increased temperatures in the testicles from the accumulation of blood. Your doctor will tie off blood vessels leading to the testicles to limit blood flow, and then repair the enlarged veins and restore normal blood flow in the area.
Hydrocelectomy- A hydrocele is a collection of fluid around the testicles caused by infection or trauma to the testes or epididymis, or by a blockage in the lymph nodes in the testicle. During a hydrocelectomy, your doctor simply drains the area of fluid, and then removes the hydrocele sac or folds it behind the testicle.
Vasectomy reversal - If you've had a vasectomy but now want children, it can be reversed using vasovasostomy or epididymostomy. In a vasovasostomy, your doctor simply reconnects the ends of your vas deferens. If your vas deferens is blocked, however, you may need an epididymostomy, during which your doctor connects your vas deferens directly to the epididymis, bypassing the blockage and restoring sperm flow.
Epididymal blockage and vas deferens blockage - If your vas deferens or epididymis has become blocked due either to infections from sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, or due to trauma experienced during other surgical procedures, sperm may be prevented from leaving the testes and entering the ejaculate. Vasovasostomy or epididymostomy are used in these instances as with vasectomy reversal.
Ejaculatory duct obstruction - Approximately 10 percent of men whose semen lacks sperm have an ejaculatory duct blockage. This can be caused by surgical scarring during a vasectomy, cancerous tumors, or prostate cysts that press against the ejaculatory duct and prevent sperm from being ejaculated. Your doctor will make a small incision, locate the blockage, and remove it.
Testicular biopsy - Men who don't produce mature sperm are said to suffer from nonobstructive azoospermia. A testicular biopsy may help to diagnose the causal problem. ICSI and IVF are generally used if insufficient numbers of sperm are found during the biopsy.
If you are faced with surgical infertility treatment, talk to your doctor about the procedure and address any questions or concerns you have. Find out how many times the surgeon has performed the particular procedure, what your chances of success are, any risks or possible complications, and how long your recovery time will be.

Domracheva wins Olympic gold in 10K pursuit
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia After three kilometers, Darya Domracheva took the lead and never looked back.
Domracheva started Tuesdays womens biathlon 10K pursuit at the Sochi Olympics 32 seconds behind sprint champion Anastasiya Kuzmina, but she overtook her Slovakian rival after the first shooting and raced ahead.
The Belarusian biathlete could even afford to miss the 20th and final target and still comfortably win the gold medal in in 29 minutes, 30.7 seconds.
Tora Berger of Norway was 37.6 seconds behind to take silver. Teja Gregorin of Slovenia trailed Domracheva by 42.0 to claim bronze.
It was Domrachevas second Olympic medal but first gold. She won bronze in the 15K individual race in Vancouver four years ago.
Domracheva won the pursuit World Cup in 2012 and has been runner-up in the overall standings for the past two seasons. She currently is second again, trailing Berger by a mere 6 points after 13 races.
Domracheva was the 2012 world champion in the discipline, and she added a world title in the mass start last year.
Domracheva finished ninth in Sundays sprint, which determined the start order and interval for the pursuit. But she attacked from the start and at the first shooting had already reduced her deficit to Kuzmina to just 10 seconds.
Domracheva skied fast and shot near-flawlessly, missing only once. But even that miss didnt hurt, since by then she had stretched her lead to almost 40 seconds.
After winning the sprint, Kuzmina began as one of the favorites, thanks to her head start. But she missed one target in her second shooting, and another in her final round. That forced her to ski penalties of 250 meters, leaving her out of contention for the medals.
Susan Dunklee of Barton was 18th.
The next womens biathlon event at the Sochi Olympics is the 15K individual race on Friday.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

I don't think Koreans would bash her for not winning at Sochi. They didn't criticize her for not winning 2008 WC or 2011 WC, either.
She seems to have a big chunk of the burden lifted when she won 2010 OGM. She definitely looks more experienced, relaxed and lighthearted this season, compared to her first Olympic season.

Its definitely something with a fresh sound for me. The closest band I could compare them with is probably their fellow Norwegians Leprous, if only for their crazy unpredictability!
Written by Guest on 07.07.2012 at 20:33
Leprous are awesome, but this album doesnt have their avantgarde technichality... this one is more diverse though, at moments they sound like opeth, at moments they sound like giant squid, one song sounds rock-and-roll and on the last song they sound completely WTF.. but most of the time they sound fresh, yes.
Written by R'Vannith on 07.07.2012 at 20:41
Yep, very different musically speaking. "Redneck Randy" is probably my least favourite track as its an odd way to end the album.. a very odd way

**An EXCELLENT speller, unless I have either a child on my lap or I'm using my cell phone!**
I wish I could nurse on demand but if I did that, he never cries or does anything that signifies that he wants to eat. It freaks me out and I asked DH (because he takes care of DS when I'm gone) if he ever cries or signals for food and he said "actually, come to think of it, no he doesn't." It feels like I'm force feeding him. He is very quiet and only cries when he's pooping. (he mostly squeaks actually. it's cute) he can go 8 hours without a feed. (I set the alarm on my phone and my phone shut off due to being a low battery. therefore, i didn't wake up to feed him.) Don't worry... that was just a one time thing. I make sure to put the phone on the charger. So, should I maybe make a schedule to nurse instead of on-demand?
As for the eczema, I mentioned something to the new pediatrician they assigned me and she said to keep applying the hydrocortisone and the aquaphor. She didn't think an allergist was necessary. But... because I have social anxiety, am very shy, and afraid of pediatricians, I couldn't say what I wanted to say BUT I know in my heart that he is allergic to something. He was doing fine in the hospital. It subsided. Then when I got back home, within hours, it was back to being oozy. I think I should drag DH with me for this next ped visit but I don't think he can because of his wacky work schedule. The next visit is this Monday to check his weight gain and she is considering it a 4 month well-baby checkup. kinda nervous...
Proud 1st time mommy of Aiden Marcus 10/30/2010
What is your LOs current weight and height?
Nursing on demand is more like feeding a baby whenever it wants to nurse, even if its an hour after it last nursed. But if I had a sleepy baby or one who never cried to nurse, or could go endless hours without wanting to nurse, I would defenitly reccomend waking baby or just nursing every 2 hours even if he never asks for it.
good luck!

I absolutely agree that you need to see an allergist and I would add also a dermatologist. A child doesn't just have eczema so bad that it is oozing. SOMETHING is triggering that and an allergist can help you figure out what it is and a dermatologist can help you treat it. Is the eczema all over his body? If it's infected did they give you any antibiotic ointment? Did they suggest wet pajama treatments or emollient baths or anything to help clear it up? Steroids are a necessity in that kind of situation, but with skin problems that bad you probably need to be doing other treatments to help get the flare ups under control.
Did they ask you any questions about your environment? Is there a smoker in the house? Do you have pets? Do you use air fresheners? What kind of detergent do you use? Do you wear perfume? All these things can affect eczema (especially the smoke- even 3rd hand) and that is not even counting potential food allergies, which to me seems apparent if baby is not gaining well. Did they do any blood tests to determine whether he was malnourished or not properly digesting his food? A gut that's inflamed from allergic reaction will not be able to properly digest what is put in it and that can affect their weight gain. This happened with my son. In the end what helped him THE MOST with both his skin and his weight gain was getting on a zinc supplement (prescribed by the dermatologist). He told me the first indication of a zinc malabsorption for him was the oozing eczema. It wasn't a cure-all for us, but it made a huge difference esp with his weight gain. I'm not saying zinc is what your son needs, but if you can see a specialist they might have ideas like that that a pediatrician wouldn't really know about (mine didn't).
I'd also suggest a new pediatrician, but it sounds like you're working on that already.
