Three different types of objects are included in the BLN:
The inclusion of an object in the BLN means that it is particularly worthy of undiminished preservation or the maximum possible protection.
The BLN is a binding directive for federal authorities whose activities relate to the landscape (i.e. federal tasks) and for cantonal authorities to whom federal tasks have been delegated, for example when authorizing construction projects, granting concessions or approving federal subsidies.
If there are grounds for the assumption that a BLN object could be affected as a result of an intervention arising from a federal task, the relevant authority must request a report from the FCNC.

Drip, drop, drat. (A sijo about water and modernity)

Political stuff.... On Iowa Caucus Day.
Let me clear, dear friends, that a man who has been divorced twice (Mt. 19:9), once for adultery (Ex. 2:14)...
.... owns strip clubs (Mt 5:28)...
.... supports or has supported abortion (Chrysostom Homily 24)...
.... refuses to show hospitality to the stranger (Heb 13:2)....
.... calls his brothers "losers" (Mt 5:22)....
.... and after all that refuses to confess his own sin (1Jn. 1:9)....
Cannot have a "good relationship with God."
I don't care if a man says "Two Corinthians" or "Second Corinthians."
I don't care if he has a favorite Bible verse or claims to love them all equally.
I don't care if he has an ugly past and has "flip-flopped" from it.
I do care that he is unwilling to repent and confess.
I do care that "if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8)
Someone is being deceived here. Himself. Or those he's wooing.
I shall not dare name names. He knows who he is.
And alas, so do we all.
Whatever political criteria you hold as you make your vote, that's your business. Just don't call his filth Christian.

Musings on Nutrition
The way I see it, pumpkin pie is the world's first "superfood."
Think about it. Now keep in mind, I was raised in the days of food groups. These food groups were primitive, not capable of organizing themselves to build food pyramids. They were just groups. All groups were equal. No discrimination here. Except for the fruit and vegetable group which was considered more equal than the other groups, especially the vegetable subgroup, for the sole purpose of driving children crazy.
I really didn't understand how brussels sprouts and strawberries were the same "group" but if they were, why did my mother not consider them interchangeable in my diet? I would happily have substituted.
But that's neither here nor there.
So considering. A serving of the meat-eggs-nuts-protein group.... and a serving of the vegetable group, mashed up together with cinnamon which we know has health benefits. Top it with a visit from the calcium rich dairy group. Serve it up on an ambassador from the wheats and grains group, unless you're gluten free... then we have a gluten free option for you.... lower carb, too for you moderns... skip the crust. I do. And voila pumpkin pie. Allergic to dairy, skip the whipped cream (poor fool). No teeth? No problem. Soy free, nut free, and artificial ingredient free. We've got this.
So today I had pie for breakfast. A little post-thanksgiving tradition. Tomorrow its back to normal, cold cereal and warm coffee. But today, it was pie.
I feel healthier already.

Adulting. Yes, its a verb.
My eldest son is an adult. I'm not sure when it happened. It wasn't turning eighteen. He was just the same at seventeen and 364 days as he was at 18, only he was eligible to vote and his signature was binding. There is nothing developmentally magic about a birthday; it is just a transition from one day to the next, like any other. It didn't happen at high school graduation either. I was still fussing at him about the condition of his room, the lateness of his going to bed, and the manner in which he treated his brothers on the first day (week, month) after graduation. Graduation, since he was homeschooled, was in itself a random thing, a "hey, you're out of assignments so congratulations and here is your grandfather's math book as a gift" thing. We took him out to dinner. That's about it.
I can guess that some of the adult came along when college classes started. Suddenly he had homework and there was no one to tell him to do it. No one told him to go to church on Sunday either, but he did. More adulting. (Adulting... a word so non-existent that its giving spell checker fits right now.) I suspect that more of his adultiness came along when he caught that first college cold the second week of class and there was nobody to tuck him in and bring him apple cider. Doing his own post-cold laundry to get the germs out, hoping his roommate didn't catch his cold, this also was probably a transition point.
But I can only guess. Because I wasn't there.
And maybe that's the point. It is when our parents aren't there that we become adults.
I'm looking forward to a long friendship with my adult son (and his two not-yet-adult brothers eventually, too). Sending him into the world where I am not there was about the hardest thing I've ever done. Everything we do as parents leads up to this, and its a fine thing. But in the end, when the caterpillar comes out of his homeschooled cocoon, mamma butterfly doesn't get to see the magic moment.
And that's fitting, because it isn't our moment.
When I dropped him off at college, I realized that this is about him. I was excited for him, how could I be sad for me? This was his call, his life, and he was grasping it for the first time. How could I mourn? And I said to him that I realized that this was right, that if I had raised him to be mine, for my sake, I was treating him as a pet, not a person. It was an off the cuff moment but it was the moment when I realized the truth in everything we always say, everything that the years have known.
Our children are not ours. They never were. They're only entrusted to us until they no longer need that cocoon and are able to fly.
But I do look forward to every time the boy will fly back home, to stretch our wings from time to time together, I hope, as long as mine have strength.

Planned Parent at the Y?
Original post:
Friends do tell me if I'm being crazy. In this culture and age its hard sometimes to tell. But I've been pondering this for about a week now...
Last week I went to my local YMCA to catch some swimming time with a friend. As I walked in, I found, in the front lobby, a table manned by Planned Parenthood. What was in the process of becoming was an evening health fair in which several members of the community representing health services was invited to have a table and make contact with those of us who were traipsing through the Y that night. An open house. A few insurance companies and the like turned up later in the evening, by the time I was done swimming.
But there was Planned Parenthood, complete with cute young women wearing shirts that said on the back something about pregnant women not being accommodated in the workplace. And an older guy in a tie, looking very professional behind the table.
And just everything seemed wrong about that picture.
Here was the supposedly "pro-woman" organization being led by a man in the attire of authority while young women were clad in matching pink tee-shirts proclaiming their feminist values.
Here was a supposedly health fair giving voice to an organization whose sole function is to end healthy embryonic lives and to suppress healthy reproductive function with medical dysfunction.
Here was an organization which proclaims sexual freedom for women while still leaving them bound to bear the brunt of side effects of hormonal birth control (some of which can be life altering or threatening) in order to be more sexually available for men whose freedom from consequences these products proclaim.
And here is my local Y, a supposedly pro-family organization giving voice to the most anti-family organization in America.
I ask myself what does the YMCA have to gain from giving such a platform to Planned Parenthood? What is in it for the Y to have an organization there which would surely make some of the Y's existing clientele feel uncomfortable, invaded? Is the Y unaware of Planned Parenthood's documented history of racially directed abortion services? Are they intentionally blind to Planned Parenthood's role in covering up abuse and sexual trafficking? Do they not know that Planned Parenthood advocates drugging girls with birth control and inflicting abortion on their developing bodies without their parents knowledge or consent?
And if they YMCA is aware of these things, are they not then being complicit in giving Planned Parenthood access to any teen girl who may walk into the Y that night?
I'm not interested in being unnecessarily combative. I don't expect my religious convictions to be taken seriously in the secular public square (despite the C in YMCA standing for Christian... I shan't call them out since the Y and M stand for "Young Men's" and I am neither... my Y is a secular community organization and if I were telling myself otherwise I'd be fooling myself). I don't expect the Y to kowtow to my comfort zone. But how does one graciously ask an organization whether its values are perhaps in conflict with the neighbor to whom they've given a platform?

Flags... really, people? They're flags.
But I guess "past the point of wanting to learn" is kind of what sums up America when it comes the the flag debates.
Gosh, folks. I'm FROM the South. Let me tell you something about the Confederate flag. Its the flag of a dead nation, however a beloved one. But the one thing that still holds true about the South is, as Lewis Grizzard said, "we don't care how you do thing up there in Cleveland." Don't tell the South what to do with that flag. For some it is the flag of hate, for some it is the flag of heritage. But nobody south of the Mason Dixon wants to hear what that flag means in Cleveland, or Philly, or New York. The South doesn't like being told by outsiders what to do. That's the story behind that flag's origins. That's the "restoration" story that followed it. That is the only meaning behind that flag we all pretty much agree on. Its a flag, let it go.
But I am from the South and I am also a Christian. If it causes your brother to stumble, throw it out. The voice that says "throw it out" has to be a Southern one, and mine is as good as any, though I've lived away half my life and never had much of an accent. I grew up on sweet tea and know what "bless your heart" really means (and it isn't what you Yankees have been told it means). I knew from the time I could walk "what's the difference between a Yankee and a damn Yankee." My daddy tol' me. And so I will say, that flag, though it means a lot of things and not all of them hurtful, causes our brothers to see hate they have received and causes others to see hate they'd like to dish out. Let the flag go.
And just when I think all this hooplah is fading away, while everyone looks to the flag of a dead nation and fails to notice live burning churches, live hurting hearts, live difficult discussions.... just when I think we've set it all aside... some yahoo decides to fly a "Christian" flag over a US flag on church property in North Carolina.
Do not get me wrong, I'm not offended by the order. The church is, at its best, a foreign embassy on US soil. The state does not reign nor does it give us the authority to be the church. I'm offended instead by the presence of the US flag at all under it. The US flag likely has no use at all on church property, but less so flying in a way that intentionally provokes our neighbors. Again a flag causes our neighbors to stumble. Throw it out. Your idea may be technically correct, but it is not helpful.
The church has never been without controversy, but only this modern church seems to enjoy causing controversy for its own sake. Poking at dragons. I'm not saying hide your faith under a bushel; but I am saying that loving your neighbor is the opposite of provoking him. Its time we stopped flying banners and hollering about colors and opened our eyes to our neighbor, our brother. Its time we started seeing that our brother under the banner of Christ is suffering the world over, including in our back yard. Churches are burned, the faithful are outcast, martyrs are made daily the world over. Unwrap yourselves from the flags that bind you and like Lazarus, come out of the grave, Christians. Come out.

Intrapartum screening of group B Streptococcus using GeneXpert real-time PCR versus late antenatal screening by culture
Abstract number: P1981
El Helali N., Ly A., Nguyen J.C., Giovangrandi Y., Sauvanet E.
Objective: Actual prevention of neonatal early onset group B streptococcal (GBS) disease involves giving intrapartum antibiotics to women. It takes in account either their antenatal culture colonisation status or for those women with unknown status, the presence of risk factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of GeneXpert real-time PCR, for the detection of GBS carriers at the onset of labor, and to compare it to the current 35 to 37 weeks screening by culture.
Methods: Over a six-month period 630 women were prospectively enrolled. According to ANAES recommendations in France, specimens were collected at 35 to 35 weeks by swabbing the lower third of the vagina, and cultured by direct plating on sheep blood agar.
At time of presentation for delivery, the vaginal swab was repeated using a double Copan swab. Of these, one swab was processed by culture, and the other one by GenExpert real-time PCR which integrates the all processing (extraction-amplification-detection) in 70 minutes.
Results: Of enrolled women 89% were eligible for analysis. The GBS colonisation rate when using culture, was 16.1% intrapartum versus 13.16% at 35 to 37 weeks. Compared with intrapartum culture, the sensitivity of late antenatal culture for identifying colonisation status at delivery was 54.1% and the positive predictive value 66.25%. PCR results were not available for 11% of the samples: 5% due to PCR inhibition, 3% due to significant presence of mucus and 3% due to manipulation errors. Compared with intrapartum culture, the GeneXpert real-time PCR test had a sensitivity of 97.9%, a specificity of 99.7%, a positive predictive value of 98.9% and a negative predictive value of 99.6%. The molecular test was superior to antenatal culture: sensitivity 97.9% versus 54.1%.
Interestingly 9% of negative screened women at 35 to 37 weeks became positive on intrapartum, and 34% of positive screened women became negative. Of screened positive women on time of labor, 47% were not detected by antenatal culture.
Conclusion: The real-time PCR on GenExpert is a rapid test, highly sensitive and specific to detect GBS colonised women at time of labor. This molecular test is extremely easy to use as a laboratory routine test. The results could be available 24H a day for antibiotics prescription to be given before delivery.

Fwd: ASC Conference 2011 on LISTENING
The American Society for Cybernetics has great pleasure in announcing a
Conversational Conference on the theme of LISTENING
Richmond, Indiana, USA, 10 to 13 August 2001
We regard listening as the key act that turns talking into conversation. However, we use these words metaphorically, and not just literally: we do not mean to concentrate on the aural senses, but on the idea that it is the recipient who gives meaning to what they hear. This is how they release the potential in a statement made by another into conversation, whether the conversation is in words, acts, gestures, or indeed any other medium of communication. This can lead to the development of understanding of the other so important in human relations (perhaps specially in fields such as psycho-therapy, management, education and music).
Our conference is organised around informal and generous conversations in small groups, but has space for formal paper presentations and performances. We are also inviting experiential workshops. There is a sliding scale of charges. For those attending, there are free add-on events before and after.
Please visit the conference web site at www.asc-cybernetics.org/2011/. Note, applicants for the conference need to fill in a statement of interest. Go to http://www.asc-cybernetics.org/2011/?page_id=69 and click on SIGN UP button in the middle of the text.
You can get a sense of the richness of last year's conference by going to www.asc-cybernetics.org/2010/.
We hope to welcome you to our conferences!
Ranulph Glanville, ASC President
Please help us by passing on this information to an lists, societies and individuals you think might be interested in our conference. Thank you.

According to Reading Fightins Director of Public Relations Eric Scarcella, the Phillies have done some reorganizing in their minor league ranks to adjust for Steven Lerud's promotion to the Phillies. Catcher Cameron Rupp, 24, has been promoted from Double-A Reading to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Rupp, 6'1″ and 240 lbs, has found his power stroke in 2013, hitting 8 HR for the Fightins while posting a .245/.329/.455 line in 161 PA. Rupp was ranked #23 according to our Jay Floyd in his 2013 Prospect Nation Countdown.
Filling in for Rupp at Double-A Reading is Justin Dalles. Dalles, 24, has built on an impressive defensive reputation and has hit the ball well in Single-A Lakewood (.342/.395/.737 in 43 PA with 4 HR). Dalles will likely be the back-up for Sebastian Valle, 22, who is now the default starter for the Reading Fightins after a disappointing start (.212/.256/.410 with 5 HR in 129 PA).

If it was April, I would have said Joseph and Valle would be in the Majors right now. But now we see Joseph injured, and Valle almost non exsistant as a prospect. Im sure his bad start will reverse but really a disappointment this year.
Rupp has been OK to good while Dalles has really thrived in Lakewood
Dalles is 24 and has a .647 OPS in the minors in 918 plate appearances. This year he has 4 home runs in 43 PAs in Lakewood against mostly much younger and less experienced competition. Never say never, but the odds are against him continuing his early success.
Rupp on the other hand looks like a solid bet to have a decent career as at least a major league backup. He is continuing where he left off last season, when he hit .267/.345/.424 (.769 OPS) in Clearwater.
Should have just brought Rupp up to the majors left lerud in the minors…
Doing so would have required removing someone from the 40-man roster and we all know that RAJ would not want to expose Michael Martinez to waivers.
Lol true I forgot how valuable mini Mart is
Valle stock was dipping from last year and is continuing to drop even further down. Rupp looks like he be a back up type as Schekman predicts. He next in line after Lerud right now.
Not going to happen hogey. Rupp was in class A baseball last year. He needs more seasoning. It would have to be a extreme emergency for him to get the call up so soon. Lerud has way more experience. So does Suomi but they seem to like Lerud better.
Lerud can't hit
No he cant hit but he has more experience behind the plate. That's what they look at for 3rd stringers. The defensive side of it.
4th stringer… sometimes I think we might as well call up a younger kid see what he does and what he's made of
Read the news that an MRI performed on Kratz's left knee Monday revealed a medial meniscus tear that will need to be repaired surgically. Obviously not good news for the team. As I understand it, the average recovery period for this type of injury can take about 7 to 8 weeks depending on age and shape the player is in. Being a catcher, the rehabilitation may take longer.
The good news is Ruiz and Utley are close to returning sometime next week.

Later this year, a shiny new Halo game will be released, and that means astronomical numbers of multiplayer sessions will be engaged in, most likely leading to noticeable drops in school attendance, workplace productivity and the like. And while Halo: Reach represents a substantial jump forward in the single-player department, Bungie is not surprisingly committing themselves to pushing the game's high-profile multiplayer component into new and exciting directions as well.
Shacknews's (and former G4-er!) Brian Leahy recently spoke with Bungie about the new multiplayer features, and came away with an impressive amount of details, the most eye-catching of which involve the game's new Arena Playlists. These serve as a way for hardcore players to keep track of their…hardcore-ness, by setting up "month-long seasons" that are divided into divisions. Here's how it breaks down:
"The divisions are Onyx, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Steel. It is possible to move up or down within a single season. To qualify for ranking, players will have to play a certain number of games a day to gain a 'Daily Ranking,' which will be an average of a player's best games from the day. To get a divisional ranking and compete in a season, players will need a certain number of Daily Rankings."
Between the Slayer and Team Slayer game mode limitation, and the fact that the game takes into account kill assists and kill to death ratios in addition to kills when determining players' overall score, Arena playlists ensure that elite players have a dynamic and quantifiable indicator of their abilities and standing in the Halo community. It will also ensure that players of all skill levels will be able to participate in the Arena system yet compete against other players at their skill level.
Other big multiplayer improvements include the return of active rosters, queue joining, an improved voting system, and more. If you are a diehard Halo fan, definitely check out the full article for all of the details. And you can find out even more about the Arena system in this Shacknews interview with Bungie developers Luke Timmins and Tyson Green.

HIV Prevention and Testing > Am I Infected?
prostitute encounter
(1/6) > >>
Hi,so I am going out of my mind over the following encounter and would really appreciate some advice from this forum. I have been turning the internet upside down and that really doesn't help...I ended up having an encounter with a prostitute in Germany (reasonably upscale establishment) where the following happened:- unprotected oral on me (15 seconds maybe)- lots of licking/sucking (her nipples, and skin all over, she on my skin)- I rubbed her vagina (did not penetrate) with my finger and licked that finger for lubrication twiceFrom what I have been reading here that should pose only a small risk for HIV right? What worries me is that I had a canker sore at the back of my mouth at the time. would it be possible that I picked up the virus with my finger when I was rubbing her labia and that it then somehow got in my mouth when I licked that finger???Btw, I did test negative with std blood tests here in northern CA at 25 days and 46 days post the event.PLease please answer my questions:1) Could I be at risk for HIV at all?2) how conclusive are my tests?3) is there any risk to my wife I love very much?4) do I have to confirm the test at 12 weeks?Thank you for your support and all the work you are doing here!
I am sorry, I forgot to add that I also had protected vaginal intercourse. But since the condom stayed intact I didn't worry about that...
You didn't have a small risk. You had NO RISK.
Thank you for your rapid reply, RapidRod.So you would say that I can safely resume sex with my wife without putting her at risk right?
Have you had an std panel done? You should get that cleared before you resume unprotected sex with your wife. You give her something and you may end up with nothing.

Hottest Male Country Singers Of 2013
There are plenty of stud muffins in country music today. Some guys have that traditional cowboy look while others have a more contemporary look to them. The good thing is though, they're all good looking.
There are plenty of stud muffins in country music today. Some guys have that traditional cowboy look while others have a more contemporary look to them. The good thing is though, they're all good looking.
Texas Country, thankfully, is becoming a widely respected genre of music on the Country scene and has especially grown in popularity because of bands like Eli Young Band, Josh Abbott Band, Pat Green, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and more! But which group or singer do you think is the most UNDERRATED?
It's that time of year again where most new years resolutions involve a new gym membership! Whether you're a newbie or a veteran to your gym, you've probably discovered THOSE people there, but what bothers you the most at the gym?
Is it a safety precaution or just a new trend? If you haven't noticed, Carrie sure does seem to be sporting the fingerless gloves on stage quite a bit. Do you like it?
DAY TWO of the new year! Have you begun your resolution, yet? What have you resolved to do this new year of 2013?
Some like to go out with a big crowd, some like to travel, and some like to just stay home with those close to them. So what do you like to do? New Years is just around the corner!
Christmas Day is just (finally) hours away!!! We've been waiting all year long for the big man to come to town and tonight's his night! So Blake is curious......
Traditionally, Black Friday was the best day of the year to save on anything and everything. Folks are starting to discover, though, the convenience of online shopping and have now supplied a demand for Cyber Monday. Which do you think is better ?
Blake is all about pleasing you Lubbock and giving you the most new Country possible! However, I have been receiving some rather unhappy emails from a certain daily listener that I would like to discuss. Read more if you'd care to join the conversation!
Blake was just remembering back to the first times he remembered falling in love with Country music, but enough about him! What about you?
'Home for the Holidays' is a famous phrase during this season as everyone is staying or going home for the Holidays. Blake is curious which one it is for you? Do you travel to be with extended family during the Holidays or do you keep it to your immediate family and stay home?

While Norwalk's Silas Redd was reportedly talking with USC head coach Lane Kiffin, Stamford's Khairi Fortt was talking with his father, Guy, about his possible future plans.
Guy Fortt, in Washington D.C. with his daughter for an AAU basketball tournament, contacted the Hearst Connecticut Newspaper Group Thursday and said that "nothing is going on right now" but that a decision on what Khairi was doing to do could likely come by Monday.
Guy Fortt confirmed that Khairi, a junior linebacker, had been contacted by UConn head coach Paul Pasqualoni and that the Huskies, along with Baylor, are the two frontrunners for Khairi's services, should he decide to leave.
However, Fortt also said that Khairi "loves" the Penn State coaching staff, meaning that when all is said and done, that Khairi could stay with the Nittany Lions.
According to ESPN.com's Joe Schad, Kiffin and Redd, a junior tailback, met for three hours in Connecticut Thursday morning and a source told Schad that "it went really well."
Schad said on his Twitter account that USC "laid out an extensive presentation on how Redd (who rushed for over 1,200 yards last season) would fit in as USC, including Power Point presentation and video clips." Schad also tweeted that Redd "may travel to California for a visit on Saturday and decide by Monday."

Cristina Scabbia is very friendly
Last week I went up to Baltimore to photograph the Music as a Weapon IV tour. This is a tour headlined by hard-rock/metal band Disturbed, whom I don't particularly have much interest in, but the three opening bands had varying levels of appeal for me - Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil and Chimaira. Of these I'm most familiar with Lacuna Coil; I like Comalies, am largely indifferent to Karmacode, and haven't but would like to hear their earlier material. Mostly I think Cristina Scabbia has a very strong voice.
I got the opportunity to interview Scabbia before the show (thanks Shum @ Riot Rock Management). The results are here at Black Plastic Bag. I haven't done any interviews for quite some time (you can see some really old ones here), but Scabbia was pretty much the easiest subject ever: friendly, talkative, and generous with her time. I was originally told that I would have ten minutes with her after some other publicity event and before a 6pm meet and greet. I guess the meet and greet didn't happen, because when I told her I wasn't sure how much time we had left, she shrugged and said, "it doesn't matter." I ended up running out of things to ask after half an hour. In fact, the full interview transcript is kind of choppy because I planned my questions around having 10 minutes, and when I ended up having 20 more than I expected, I had to jump around asking different things as they came to mind. Oh well.
Anyway, there's nothing there for anyone not interested in Lacuna Coil, but I've written about plenty of female-fronted metal on this site so some of you will probably get something out of it. Enjoy.

Baby acne is acne that develops on a newborn's skin. Baby acne can occur anywhere on the face, but usually appears on the cheeks, nose and forehead. Baby acne is common — and temporary. There's little you can do to prevent baby acne. Baby acne usually
clears up on its own, without scarring.
Baby acne is usually characterized by small red bumps on a baby's cheeks, chin and forehead.
Baby acne is usually characterized by small red or white bumps on a baby's cheeks, nose and forehead. It often develops within the first two to four weeks after birth.
Many babies also develop tiny white bumps on the nose, chin or cheeks. These are known as milia.
Consult your baby's doctor if you're concerned about any aspect of your baby's complexion. Baby acne usually clears up within three to four months.
It's not clear exactly what causes baby acne.
If you're following a standard well-baby exam schedule, your baby will likely visit with your family doctor or pediatrician soon. These regular appointments offer a good opportunity to discuss concerns about your baby's health. For baby acne, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
What to expect from your baby's doctor
In order to determine the seriousness of your baby's acne, your baby's doctor may ask you:
Baby acne can usually be diagnosed on sight. No specific testing is needed.
Because baby acne typically disappears on its own within several months, no medical treatment is usually recommended. If your baby's acne lingers for much longer, your baby's doctor may recommend a medicated cream or other treatment. Don't try any over-the-counter
medications without checking with your baby's doctor first. Some of these products may be damaging to a baby's delicate skin.
These tips are useful for caring for your baby's skin while he or she has acne:

There's no doubt that gratitude is a life lesson that we all need constant brushing up on. But I truly believe that it's one that can be taught early on — as young as 6 months old. While "thank yous" might be meaningless auto replies at first, the more practice a child has saying those words, the more likely they are to continue using them generously and with intent as they grow to understand their meaning and power.
Here are a few ways to model gratitude for Baby, in hopes that she will pick up your good behaviors in the same way she picks up your not-so-flattering ones. (Or is that just me?!)
Hand Baby a toy. Then ask her to hand it back to you. When she does, say an expressive, "Well, thank you." Continue to hand it back and forth, saying a playful thank you each time. (This usually turns into a gigglefest at our house.) As Baby is old enough to make word-like sounds, you may even notice a two syllable grunt long before she can pronounce the actual words.
Come holiday time, have Baby hand out the gifts. Seeing the look of surprise and thanks on the recipients' faces will give her a thrill. This can also be done easily around the house. Mommy needs her shoes? Have Baby take them to her. Brother's lunch box is packed? Have her hand it to him. Teaching Baby that being the giver is a special role too, will help her appreciate being on the receiving end even more in time.
Let Baby see you speaking with gratitude to the people you encounter together — family, friends, cashiers, etc. And if someone compliments Baby's sweet smile or beautiful eyes, say thank you on her behalf. Once Baby is ready to speak for herself, remind her to look at the person and say thank you. While it may seem pushy at first, it will become second nature to Baby quickly with a bit of practice.
When you find yourself enjoying a moment, tell Baby. "Isn't it great that we can be cuddled up on the couch reading this book together?" "I'm so happy to wake up in the morning to come in to your smiling face and wacky bed head!" "This beautiful day is giving me lots of energy and I really needed it."
As the day comes to an end, and you're getting Baby all snuggly in her PJs, list 5 things you're grateful for that day. These things can be anything from the weather, to activities you did, to the people you love, to the fact that it's finally bedtime. (Of course if you're religious, this can also be done as a prayer.)
Try a few of these and I bet you'll be surprised how quickly Baby picks up on this way of thinking. And, if you're like me, you might also find that you feel happier when you take a gracious approach to the days as well.
How do you model gratitude for your baby?

The time between your baby's birth and her first three months of life is known as the fourth trimester. This special time is all about getting to know your little one during those precious first few months you will have together at home. The so-called
fourth trimester is a time of change, discovery and bonding for both you and baby.
The desire to see babies thrive will never change. How families find their way has. That's why Huggies teamed up with Medela Inc, to offer more moms the support they need to reach their breastfeeding
goals. Breastfeeding doesn't look the same for everyone. And that's more than okay. There's no perfect way to do it, and plenty of ways to get to your own version of perfect.
To help you with planning for your fourth trimester, check out these tips from Medela Inc.
Your little one is making a huge adjustment by transitioning to life outside of the womb. You can help baby cope by creating soothing everyday experiences for her. Things that remind baby of being in the womb can be especially comforting. Activities such
as holding baby close so that she can hear your heartbeat can help provide familiar sounds and sensations.
Of course, new moms and dads need support too. Focus on practicing routines as you get to know your baby and don't stress about sticking to a solid schedule. Consider simple comforts such as a rocking chair or glider for the nursery to help you get through
late nights comfortably.
Your body is designed to help you bond with your new little one. Both during and after your birthing experience, high levels of oxytocin (yep, the love
hormone) are released by your brain to help you bond with baby.
Breastfeeding is another wonderful way to connect with your newborn. If possible, take advantage of the very special bonding time immediately after birth, which is known as
the golden hour. This is the ideal time to start breastfeeding. Let your doctor and nurses know your wishes so that routine medical procedures don't interfere with your precious bonding time.
A good latch is the secret to successfully breastfeeding your baby. Once baby is comfortably latched on to your breast, you can relax and enjoy feeding your little one. There are lots of different positioning styles that you can try when feeding too.
When baby is latched on properly, you should be able to hear the sound of her swallowing milk. Medela offers step-by-step instructions to help you with latching.
When babies are growing in the womb they experience plenty of motion. Many babies find motion comforting and can fall asleep more easily when they are moving. To help your baby sleep, you can try holding her on your chest as you walk quietly through your
home. Pushing baby in her stroller or taking her for a ride in the car are other ways to provide the kind of soothing motion that could help your little one sleep.
While you bond with your baby through breastfeeding, your partner can also connect with baby in other meaningful ways. Holding and burping baby after she nurses is a wonderful way for your partner to get involved with feedings. Bath time and nap time
also offer other opportunities for your partner to play with baby and provide comfort by rocking or holding to help baby peacefully fall asleep.

Medela, Inc. the #1 recommended breast pump brand*, is proud to provide moms with quality products that support their breast milk feeding goals – whatever their lifestyle. Medela will be adding new products to its collection later this year that were
designed in direct response to customer feedback. We develop our products based on breastfeeding science, our own research, as well as user testing and feedback from moms. We teamed up with Huggies to offer more moms the support they need to reach their
own breastfeeding goals.

One of my favorite things about newborn babies is the cute, teeny clothes we can dress them in. We had piles of puppy dog sleepers and dinosaur onesies for my son and ladybugs, ruffles, and kitties for my daughter. Retailers know we moms like to dress
our babies up in the cutest of cute; that's why the infant clothes industry brings in $11 billion a year!
Newborn clothes are the cutest, but dressing them can be incredibly challenging. They are equally delicate and strong, and are filled with instincts and reflexes that make it difficult to actually get the clothes onto their tiny bodies (not to mention,
you will be sleep-deprived and not thinking straight)!
Here are seven tips that can make it a little easier to dress your little one.
You may have spent the last few weeks of your pregnancy strolling through the baby section of Target with a wistful look on your face, lovingly admiring those teeny little baby jeans, tights with ruffles, or complicated outfits with way too many buttons,
but when baby arrives, you'll soon find that less is more. Babies poop a lot. Babies pee a lot. Babies throw up a lot. This means lots of diaper and clothing changes for you. Dressing your baby simply in a onesie or sleeper can drastically cut down
on your clothing frustrations.
I don't care who you are — if you can snap a baby sleeper on the first try, I don't trust you. I've never been able to fasten a sleeper, and countless times have put my baby back to sleep with a wonky sleeper. Choose clothing pieces in the first few weeks
that are easy to take on and off. One of my favorite baby items is a "baby bag", essentially a sleeping bag with arms that keeps your baby warm, allows her to move her little legs, and is easy to unzip to change a diaper. Plus, it's much safer than
an actual blanket.
Baby shoes! Amiright? They are perhaps the most adorable baby item while also being the most useless. Babies can't walk, so they don't need anything to protect their feet, and while they are cute, I guarantee you'll be putting them back on flailing little
legs many, many times. Life is too short for doing shoe checks every 5 minutes to make sure you didn't lose one. Opt for cute "shoe" socks instead if you want to complete the look for your baby's outfit of the day.
Little baby fingernails are surprisingly sharp. Have you ever been sliced by a newborn baby finger? It's like a razor. Many moms swear by the little mittens sold to protect your baby (and you) from accidental fingernail cuts, but my personal opinion is
to skip this item on your registry. Most babies are accustomed to touching their face while safe in their mother's womb, and when they are out in the big, bad world, holding little fingers to their face gives them a sense of comfort. Covering tiny fingers
may keep them from this biological way to self-soothe, which could mean more fussiness. Pick up a tiny pair of nail clippers and steady your hand to give those little nails a trim.
Speaking of those little fingers (and toes!), they are very bendy. That's one thing I didn't expect when my little ones were born. When you're pulling on t-shirts, onesies, and pants, flexible fingers and toes can easily get caught in the fabric and bend.
Although it isn't necessarily painful for your baby, it will probably catch her off guard and you'll get an earful. Save her some annoyance (and save your eardrums) by bunching up the arms of her shirt or the legs of her pants first, then push the garment
onto her arm or leg. She should slip her arm right into the sleeve.
If leg and crotch snaps are difficult, back snaps and buttons are nearly impossible — as well as uncomfortable. Back is best when your baby is sleeping, and snaps running down the back of his sleeper can be quite bothersome. Additionally, back snaps are
very hard to manage since newborn heads are incredibly floppy!
Babies are sturdier than they appear — and also stronger. You may have an instinct to pick your baby up and hold him with one hand while you're laying down the sleeper, but resist. Babies can wiggle or push at just the wrong time and make you lose your
grip, especially if you're just holding him with one arm. Instead, lay your baby on the changing table first, then roll him to the side, gently pushing the sleeper under his little body. Repeat on the other side.

Cradle cap causes crusty or oily scaly patches on a baby's scalp. The condition isn't painful or itchy. But it can cause thick white or yellow scales that aren't easy to remove.
Cradle cap usually clears up on its own in a few months. Home-care measures include washing your baby's scalp daily with a mild shampoo. This can help loosen and remove the scales. Don't scratch cradle cap.
If cradle cap persists or seems severe, your doctor may suggest a medicated shampoo, lotion or other treatment.
Cradle cap is characterized by scaly patches on a baby's scalp. You may notice thick, yellow patches of skin. The patches may be crusty or greasy.
Cradle cap appears as patchy scaling or thick crusts on the scalp and greasy skin covered with flaky white or yellow scales. Cradle cap usually doesn't bother the infant.
Common signs of cradle cap include:
Similar scales may also be present on the ears, eyelids, nose and groin.
Cradle cap is common in newborns. It usually isn't itchy.
Cradle cap is the common term for infantile seborrheic dermatitis. It's sometimes confused with another skin condition, infantile eczema. A major difference between these conditions is that eczema usually causes significant itching.
See your baby's doctor if:
The cause of cradle cap isn't known. One contributing factor may be hormones that pass from the mother to the baby before birth. These hormones can cause too much production of oil (sebum) in the oil glands and hair follicles.
Another factor may be a yeast (fungus) called malassezia (mal-uh-SEE-zhuh) that grows in the sebum along with bacteria. Antifungal treatments, such as ketoconazole, are often effective, supporting the idea that yeast is a contributing factor.
Cradle cap isn't contagious, and it's not caused by poor hygiene.
Cradle cap usually doesn't require medical treatment. It clears up on its own within a few months. In the meantime, wash your baby's hair once a day with mild baby shampoo and brush the scalp lightly with a soft brush to loosen the scale.
If frequent shampooing doesn't help, consult your baby's doctor. He or she may recommend an adult dandruff shampoo, such as one containing 2 percent antifungal ketoconazole medication. Be sure the shampoo doesn't get in your baby's eyes, as it may cause
irritation. Hydrocortisone cream is sometimes helpful to reduce redness and inflammation.
Don't use over-the-counter cortisone or antifungal creams without talking to your baby's doctor, because some of these products can be toxic when absorbed through a baby's skin. Dandruff shampoos that contain salicylic acid aren't recommended for use
in babies either, because they can be absorbed through the skin.
If your baby's cradle cap doesn't improve with home-care measures or starts to spread, make an appointment with your baby's pediatrician. Here's some information to help you prepare for your visit.
Your baby's doctor will want to know:
The following over-the-counter treatments and home-care tips can help you control and manage cradle cap.
Shampooing your baby's hair every few days can help prevent cradle cap. Stick with a mild baby shampoo unless your baby's doctor recommends something stronger.

When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, I was first overjoyed, then a little nervous about how her brother would react. He was my first baby, and we have always had a really great connection. I kiss his boo-boos, snuggle with him when he's sick,
and I rocked him to sleep the first two and a half years of his life. He's a sensitive soul, my firstborn, so I wasn't sure how a new sibling would fit into his life.
At 3 1/2, Luke's attitude toward his new sibling could go either way: either he'll love her dearly, or he'll resent the breath she breathes. Luckily, he's been pretty excited so far. He loves to kiss my belly and say goodnight to "little sister." I am
still pondering how he'll react when he sees that squirming little pink bundle of joy in the hospital suite.
Adding a new sibling can be tricky, even for experienced parents. All kids are different, and no reaction will be the same. Preparing for a new sibling? These experienced moms can help you navigate the waters.
Tonya Wertman's son, Lucas, was 4 1/2 when she gave birth to her daughter, Lola, in January. She discovered that allowing him to experience ultrasounds helped make the idea of a sibling more concrete. "We talked
about what it meant to have a baby a lot and found a sibling class through a local university that was very helpful. I also took him to ultrasound appointments with me so he could 'see' the baby."
Courtney Adkins is mom to two sons, Garrett and Connor. She and her husband helped Garrett adapt by including him in a variety of new-baby tasks.
"Garrett was almost 4 when we had Connor. I showed him ultrasound pictures, let him listen to Connor's heartbeat on our Doppler, and let him feel and watch my belly. The day I had Connor, Garrett stayed with my sister-in-law. She brought Garrett up after
we were settled in the mother/baby unit. I had [my husband] Dave meet her out the hallway. When Dave brought Garrett in, it was just the four of us. I didn't want Garrett to be overwhelmed by everyone there; I wanted him to take it all in without a
bunch of people bombarding him about being a big brother. When we got home, we let him help with little things like getting diapers, powder–just enough to make him feel like he was really helping. We included him in tummy time and let him rock Connor
in the recliner. He did so much better adjusting than we thought he would. He's an awesome big brother!"
Karen Chavez's son Martin was 9 when little brother, William, was born. With an older child, Karen was able to let Martin experience the entire delivery. "Martin was pretty aware. We had planned for
Martin to hang out with my mother at her house when I went to the hospital, but when the day came, Martin insisted on riding with us to the hospital and staying. We arrived at the hospital around 11 a.m., and William was born at 9:01 p.m. Martin stayed
the whole time, was there when William was delivered, and was able to cut the cord. After we got home, Martin loved feeding and rocking William and couldn't wait for his chance to rock him to sleep.When I'd put William to bed at the end of the day,
Martin would get a blanket and pillow and fall asleep on the floor in William's room. Sweet days."
Tara Campioni's first daughter, Hannah, was almost 4 when little sister Emily was born. To help Hannah prepare for big-sisterdom, Tara promised something very special.
"Hannah went with me to every appointment and talked a lot about the new baby. To make her feel special we promised her she could be the first to hold the baby. Other than the nurses and doctor, she held her before me or my husband. She still talks about
it to this day about how she was the first to hold her."
No matter how much research you've done or how prepared you think you are, bringing your brand new baby home is likely to bring some stressful moments — especially during that first week.
In your first week home with your baby, you'll probably spend hours staring down at your little one, amazed at how beautiful he or she is. You'll also probably spend hours staring down at them with total fear and confusion, hoping you're doing everything
In time, you'll become a pro at all the day-to-day tasks of having a baby, but in those first few weeks, it's totally normal for you to be surprised by what it means to actually have a baby. Click through to see answers to the questions almost all new
parents find themselves asking soon after they bring their baby home.
Newborns seem to eat with an almost impossible frequency. Most newborn babies will eat every two to three hours (that's 8-12 feeds per day if you're counting), but it's not uncommon for them to eat even more frequently in their first few weeks.
Though it's tough to keep up with their feedings in the early weeks of their lives, those feedings will start to space out as their tummies get bigger. Hang in there, Mama!
When we're hot, we turn on the air conditioning; when we're cold, we get a blanket. If we're hungry, we eat; if we're tired, we go to bed. Not only are newborn babies totally incapable of doing those things themselves — they're also experiencing the discomforts
of human life for the very first time.
In the womb, they were never hungry or cold or tired — it's no wonder, then, that babies tend to cry a lot early on. Crying is their only way to communicate with you, so try your best to keep your patience; however, don't be afraid to reach out to your
doctor if it seems like your baby is in pain.
Though most new parents feel like they're getting almost no sleep, newborn babies actually sleep an average of 16 hours per day. Newborns are often only awake long enough between naps to eat, look around for a little while, and get a diaper change before
they drift off again.
The reason that new parents have trouble sleeping is that those 16 hours are broken up into tiny one- and two-hour segments throughout the day, leaving little time for parents to get a good stretch of sleep when their baby does.
Newborn babies are perfect. Tiny ears, tiny noses, tiny wrists, and itty-bitty fingers and toes. The first time you lay eyes on your baby you'll probably be overcome with just how little they are. You'll be mesmerized. A few days or weeks later, though,
you'll likely begin to feel more puzzled than mesmerized when it comes time to cut your newborn's fingernails. Just how exactly are you supposed to do something so delicate with someone so small? Most parents worry about hurting their baby when they
cut their fingernails but follow the tips below and you'll be giving fantastic mini-manicures in no time!
When babies are very young, you can usually use an emery board or traditional nail file as opposed to using nail clippers. Though most nail clippers are guarded, parents tend to feel nervous as they clip their babies nails. Using an emery board can reduce
anxiety and ensure the job gets done without any tears.
When newborns are awake they're often surprisingly wiggly. Instead of trying to wrangle your baby into being still while they're awake, consider cutting or filing their nails when they're napping and still.
Trying to clip your baby's nails for the first time can be overwhelming. Instead of going it alone, ask your partner or another loved one to hold your baby as you take care of their nails. Doing something hard can feel much easier when you're doing it
with someone who supports you, so don't hesitate to ask!
Taking care of a newborn is hard. As you struggle through the first few nail sessions with your baby, remember that in time this (all of it) will begin to feel easier and more natural.
Good luck out there parents!
Do you have any tips on caring for your newborn's nails?
A lot happens during your baby's first three months. Most babies reach certain milestones at similar ages, but infant development isn't an exact science. Expect your baby to grow and develop at his or her own pace. As you get to know your baby, consider
these general infant development milestones.
At first, caring for your baby might feel like an endless cycle of feeding, diapering and soothing. But soon, signs of your baby's growth and development will emerge.
Your relationship with your child is the foundation of his or her healthy development. Trust your ability to meet your baby's needs. You can:
Your baby might reach some developmental milestones ahead of schedule and lag behind a bit on others. This is perfectly normal. There's typically no cause for concern. It's a good idea to be aware of the warning signs, however. Consult your baby's doctor
if you're concerned about your baby's development or you notice any red flags by age 3 months:
Remember that every baby is unique — but your instincts are important, too. The earlier a problem is detected, the earlier it can be treated.

Britney Spears Nude Photos: Crotch Pic with Paris Hilton (NSFW)
Last summer, a pregnant Britney Spears posed nude on the August cover of Harper's Bazaar. Spears almost bared it all, and her new brunette hair color, for the fashion magazine cover.
Her latest naked pictures are less glamorous, as she purportedly flashes her shaved crotch to the paparazzi, sporting a short skirt and no panties as she gets out of Paris Hilton's car. See photos here (NSFW).
In the Harper's Bazaar picture, Britney is pretty pregnant and the photos show it. Her hands barely cover her breasts and she is wearing nothing but a necklace. The interior nude photo spread is said to include some photos of nude Sean Preston too. No naked Kevin Federline is in sight, thank god!
This time, Paris Hilton tries unsuccessfully to shield Britney's crotch from the Paprazzi. The photos seem to show all, including some nasty c-section scars.

I confess I can't remember ever seeing something quite so blatant: a lawyer representing A in a suit against B drops A, then takes on B in a suit against A based on the same contract, allegedly. Oh yeah, the switch was preceded by anger by the lawyer for not being paid what he thought he was owed by A. This [subscription to online newspaper required] is enough to make you wonder whether the "ethics" of professional boxing has rubbed off on the attorneys in that field.
