How long should I keep trying the bottle?(84 Posts)
The age old problem - I'm back to work in a few weeks and my ebf 4 month old baby has flatly refused a bottle for the past few weeks. I have been in the house each time we've tried, and my health visitor has said that I need to leave the house entirely and let him cry it out, and he'll eventually take it. I was out for four hours tonight (DS usually feeds every 2 hours...) and my DH said that DS cried solidly for those 4 hours, refusing and refusing the bottle. My question is, how long do we carry on like this for? When do we draw a line under it? Another HV suggested using a sippy cup, which is messy and time consuming, but a viable alternative (tho possibly not in the eyes of our poor childminder.) my last month with my beautiful DS is being ruined by this dilemma. Any advice appreciated.
Just want to add a postscript to this thread (in case anyone having similar problems stumbles upon it) to say that DS, a staunch bottle refuser, took 120ml from a bottle from me today in 5 mins flat. Here's my advice for anyone else in the same position:
1. IME, starving them into submission does not work.
2. IME, the Playtex drop in nurser bottle with the brown latex teats are the most effective (that's what he eventually took) (infantcaredirect and amazon do them)
3. It took at least a month of us offering various bottles every day, several times a day to get him used to it.
4. What finally worked for me was to stop his nighttime breastfeeds (which he doesn't need anyway at 5 months) and to refuse him the breast all day one day and offer the bottle every hour or so that day. He needed to know there was no alternative. It was really hard but worth it when he took the bottle.
How's it going Firsttime? DS still has croup so I'm struggling to refuse him a BF when he wants it, but he's still very hit and miss with the bottle. Our new routine is:
6am - BF
9am - 3 x teaspoons banana porridge mixed with 80ml formula
10am - 20ml formula from bottle (if I'm lucky)
1pm - big BF
4pm - 40ml formula from bottle and cup
6pm - 4 teaspoons baby rice mixed with 60ml formula
7.30pm - BF
Midnight - BF
3.30am - BF
I know it's the world's worst schedule. I've started offering him a bottle at midnight and at 3.30am, but he cries so much and then starts coughing, and I'm also worried that he then won't be getting enough milk, so I give in and BF him. Can't go on like this, I know I'm making a meal of it.
DH wants to give him 3 solids a day, mixed with formula, to get more formula into him, but I can't get my head around the fact that a solids feed (mixed with formula) could replace formula from a bottle.
The CS has asked me to give her a print out of our routine ahead of him going to her beginning jan. hahahahahahaha. Sob.
Oh my goodness Firsttime - 12 till 6?' I feel your pain. It's like torture isn't it. I think you're doing so well though, he's actually taking the bottle so it'll probably be a natural progression when you start work for him to start to take more.
I'm just on my way home from my work Christmas lunch (they kindly invited me even though I've been languishing on mat leave these past few months :0) and my Mil was looking after my baby boy. She text me and said he'd taken 95ml formula from her this afternoon between a bottle and baby rice, so she's doing better than me. He lost his voice with the croup and I just couldn't do anything but BF him these past few days, because I knew that's the only thing that makes him feel better. In some ways it might be better for him to be going to a CM now rather than later, because he's happy to stay with anyone who'll sing to him and smile at him at this stage, whereas when he's older he might find it harder. desperately trying to make self feel better about it...
Oh no Lets! Sending hugs and hoping little Lets gets well soon - here Granny arrived at the beginning of the week and yesterday he took 5 oz from her out of a normal avent bottle for his mid morning and late afternoon feed! Result I thought but last night he woke up at 12 and refused to go back to sleep! I BF but he didn't seem that interested - it might be wind or gum hardening but either way he was awake until 6. He only had 2 oz from his bottle this morning but 5 oz this afternoon so I don't think I can say we have cracked it as yet
Gah, DS has croup and has wanted to BF non-stop for two days, it's the only thing that calms him down. Deep breath... Will recommence Operation Bottlesarenottheworkofthedevil on Monday.
Oh god, reverse cycling - that's something I'm very keen to avoid - he already feeds every 3 hours at night, so if he starts waking up more often we'd both just need to stay up all night really...
He took 40ml from the avent/playtex hybrid bottle today from me (singing loud Christmas songs) - I would prefer to stop BFing altogether now but I think he may be wise to that, because he only takes enough formula to take the edge off his hunger, and then I have to keep BFing him to make sure he gets enough nutrition and stays hydrated. We're getting there though. I fully expect to be a mad wreck of a person when back at work anyway, so breast feeding DS all night long won't make a huge amount of difference. (Think MN needs to add a sleep deprived smiley...)
Oh and ds3 also used to feed all night when he got home. It''s called reverse-cycling I believe. Also known as maternal torture.
If he'll be 5 months by the time you're back to work, I'd be tempted to chill out a bit (easier said than done!). DD2 was very like this, and started with her childminder at 5 months. We got through it by:
1) starting weaning at 5 months, and including lots of milk/yoghurt in her diet
2) me feeding her at the childminders when I dropped her off
3) the CM giving a mid-afternoon formula feed in a sippy cup, which TBH she never drank that much of
4) cramming in 3 breastfeeds when she came home - teatime, bedtime and dreamfeed
Long time ago for me but when ds3 refused the bottle, we eventually got him to take it by
1/ playtex bottle ( Do we notice a theme here?)
2/ Holding ds3 away from me with teat in mouth
3/ Walking around singing very loudly!
He never was very good at taking the bottle compared to ds1 and ds2 who were happy with either breast or bottle.
I was so worried with ds4 that I expressed and fed him from the playtex bottle every other night from when he was 2 weeks old.
Ps. Firsttime, that's great about your DS' progress with the bottles! You've done a fab job there, at least you can be reassured that he'll be able to feed well while you're at work. And I'm sure both our DS' will have a great time in childcare - mine is very sociable and is visibly happier when surrounded by people. It'll prob be harder on us than them x
My DS is going to a childminder 3 days a week, my MIL is looking after him 1 day a week and I'll be at home on the Friday (doing full time but 5 days compressed into 4, so 8am-5.30pm). So my situation is much the same as yours Firsttime. CM has got 15 years experience and good references (though not v up to date in new practices, new research etc) and MIL is also very good, but I feel utterly miserable about leaving him. I can't really sleep for worrying about things that might go wrong (they might overheat him, leave him crying, not change his nappy, not cuddle him enough, not feed him enough...etc.) I guess it's normal to feel like this but it's kind of all-consuming. I just love him so much, can't bear the thought that he might get neglected in some way and I wouldn't know. Sorry, I'm starting to sound crazymad, I think it's the lack of sleep. I had no idea it'd be this hard to be honest, keep trying to think of ways I can extend my mat leave but it's financially impossible.
We have the new Avent bottles (they're called Avent Natural or something) with the petal teats, don't know if they're maybe different to the ones you have? The latex teat doesn't fit it that well, we were just using it as emergency back-up before the inserts arrived - typical that he decides he likes that combination the best! :0)
Teacher, DS also likes to be on the move when drinking, usually while being carried. Very odd, I find it hard to drink while walking around, not sure why they like it. The Christmas tree is up now so I walk him round and round that!
Yay that's great news. I couldn't get the Playtex teat to work properly on the avent bottle - I might have a look at that again as using the Playtex bottle is a pain as I find the inserts a real fiddle. That being said today DS took 5.5 oz of powder formula so tomorrow we will be dropping the 9.30 Ish feed and hopefully the lunchtime feed by the end of the week. I am going to keep the first morning feed and night feed for now.
Lets - can I ask how you are generally feeling about returning to work. DS will be going to nursery 3 days a week and family the rest of the time. We have our first settling in day tomorrow and I have spent all today feeling quite sad. He is just such a great little boy and I feel so guilty about leaving him at this age - I don't have much choice unfortunately. I want to cry every time I think about it!
Wahoo!! Well done your DH and his winning football team. Your plan for dropping feeds seems like a good one. Who is looking after DS when you're not there? Is it nursery or childminder? I'm sure they'll be experienced in getting babies to drink. Also I do think that babies like a bit of routine, when he starts childcare, that will be the new 'normal'! DS continues to refuse to drink any milk unless he's in the pushchair or carseat, preferably on the move...! Baby steps...
DS finally started sucking on the bottle! My DH came home from the pub where he'd been watching his team win a football match (so maybe he was in a 'winning' mood), put the playtex latex teat on the avent bottle (the new inserts for the playtex bottle haven't arrived yet), filled it with formula from one of the ready made cartons, cradled DS in his arm and started singing loud football songs (while I hovered anxiously nearby) and DS just suddenly started sucking, and drank 45ml in two minutes. He then looked very startled, cried, did a massive burp and went to sleep. I'm really hoping it wasn't just a one off, and that he'll do it again later! The latex teat does fit the avent bottle but probably not ideal as a feeding tool all the time as the nipple kept disappearing into the middle bit.
God, I'm so relieved, I really hope he keeps it up. The cup feeding is such a pain in comparison!
I'm back to work on 7th January. I worked out a plan with my mum before she went - at the moment I bf at 6am, formula at 10am, bf at 1pm, formula at 4pm, baby rice at 6pm and BF at 7pm. Going to replace the 1pm BF with formula the week after next and then replace the 6am bf two weeks later. I'll keep doing the 7pm bf for a month or so after I'm back at work because it might help him settle a bit better into his new routine.
Because he's only taking 60-70ml formula at a time though I'm worried he might be getting dehydrated, especially as his wee has been smelling really strong for the past week which I read can be a sign of dehydration (taking him to doc next week to check though) although he still has lots of wet nappies.
I spoke to the HV again yesterday (I hate being the mum who phones them constantly) but the advice is still just to keep offering him a bottle several times a day. So I offer him the playex bottle first (he chews on it and takes about 20ml that way) and then give him the rest from the cup. The playtex bottle is really good in terms of the teat being most like a normal nipple, but I just spent another £20 on the inserts too so they're not cheap.
The HV said he should be capable of sleeping 6 hours at night now (he's always woken every 2 hours and I've always just fed him), and I think she was suggesting that I try a bit of controlled crying, but I'm totally flummoxed because if he needs to make up for the lack of daytime fluids at night, perhaps I should still be feeding him every two hours at night.
I guess my real concern is that he's not getting enough fluids anymore, but the doctor will be able to help me with that. It's so hard, especially when your natural instinct (or mine is anyway) is to let them feed all day long if they want.
I think HVs should be asking BF mums when they plan to go back to work and advising them to offer a bottle once a day from an early age. I know that's no guarantee that they'll take it later on, but it would help a lot of people avoid this situation.
My HV said I might find DS would feed more at night when I went back to work and feed less during the day - I think it's called reverse cycling. It's fine if the baby is in your room as you can feed whilst both of you are half asleep.
Keep going - you have made some much progress - DS is proving very particular. Today was a 1/3 breast and 2/3 formula mix but it took quite a while to get 6 oz down him. When it went a bit cool he refused to take it but went back to sucking when it was warmed up again. He has not been as settled at night though - this parenting is hard work!
Don't get disheartened! You've been doing so well! How many weeks until you get back to work? Have a look on the formula packet and see how much they are supposed to have at that age, I can't remember... Like I said upthread, trying to drop all the daytime breast feeds in one go will be really hard and he will just feed all night. Also if he's ill it's all a nightmare.
Oh, that last last post was from Cheap, my new name is letsgetready
Playtex bottle finally arrived today! And health visitor has said that 60-70ml formula at a time isn't enough for him to be taking from the cup, so I can't replace any more feeds until he takes more. But I can't start BFing him at those times again either or my supply will adjust accordingly again. Rock and hard place. HV said to offer him bottle four or five times a day, but the problem is that he needs to be a bit hungry to take bottle, and because he won't take it I need to cup feed him too. And to add to the misery, he has a horrible cold and is now waking every hour at night wanting BF, presumably because it's now restricted during the day. Sorry, Stressed out ramblings.
Same age as my DS roughly. He was born 31st July. I think, if you have time before you go back to work, then a sippy cup will work better for you when he's slightly older - 6 or 7 months, because he can hold it then and it might be easier. I'm having to do the transition now because I'm back to work in a month. But I appreciate that you need some time to yourself and I completely understand that - I think part of the reason I was so upset when my DS wouldn't take a bottle was that I was just so desperate for a few hours break. So if you want to start now, here are my (baby-brain-addled) suggestions.
What you put in the cup depends on if you want to transition to formula or expressed bm. I want my DS to take formula, so my HV told me to use it in the cup from the get-go, because he had to get used to it. It was good advice as it took him a few weeks to even swallow the stuff. He likes it now. I think that letting him hold the cup and put it in his mouth etc is a good idea, just be careful it doesn't become an actual plaything, as I guess he needs to see it as food too.
Maybe just set aside half an hour every 2 or 3 days just now, when he's relaxed and nearly hungry but not quite, stick the TV on and introduce the cup to him as a feeding tool, with milk in it. I started by gently tipping a little bit into his mouth, it needs to be a slow and gentle process, and not too intense (hence the TV). Once he has the hang of it then someone else could do it for you, but make sure they understand that a sippy doesn't give a young baby much control over their intake, so it's really important to be gentle with it and not tip in too much at a time at first. My DS lurches forward for it now, he got the hang of it pretty quickly. And now it means I can go to my work Christmas party next week - cue one over-excited new mum getting wellied on two glasses of cava and having to take the early train home :0)
He still BFs every two hours at night though, but that's a whole other challenge that I'll be tackling once the sippy is implemented in the daytime.
Hi thanks for the advice that's really helpful. He is 18 weeks tomorrow. He started off life drinking from bottles due to a tongue tie, we had that treated on day 5, and bf got sorted after that. I had always intended that he would have a bottle in the evening but because we had a tricky start to bf, I was nervous about messing it up, so he had occasional bottle but we didn't persist and by 10 weeks he was deeply offended by being offered a bottle. Now I would just like an occasional free evening but something tells me that even if he does get the hang of a cup soon that won't replace the 45 min long bf he likes to have before bed! Am really impressed though with stories of these clever babies who can learn to drink from cups and tempted to just forget about bottles (havent tried one jn weeks anyway) because the trauma involved is horrible... Going to offer the cup as a toy regularly and see how we go! Do you think I should put water in it or just milk when he 'gets' it? Good luck with your cup feeding endeavours!
Hi Madeup, welcome to Bottle Refusers Anonymous :0) I too use the tommee tippee easy flow cup, it's a plastic beaker with a spout with 3 little holes in it. I got it free in my Bookbug Pack at his third set of injections (in Scotland) but I think you can get them in tesco for about a pound (sounds like you have the same one.) how old is your baby? Mine is 4 months and 1 week, and the HV told me that if he's refusing a bottle then it's best to go straight to a sippy cup (better for his (non-existent) teeth, and saves you having to wean them off the bottle when they're 1. Anyway, we've been using it for roughly 3 weeks I think, and he's getting good at drinking from it. I cradle him in my arm, pretty upright, and tip the spout gently into his mouth and he half sucks and half laps it. It is undoubtedly messy, and he probably dribbles about 10-20ml at each feed, but he can take about 70ml now in twenty mins, which is good for a BF baby I think. I let him play with it too when I first introduced it (empty) and he spent a long time just chewing on the spout, getting used to the feel of it. Teacher's DS is 7 months and is using a sippy and he can hold it and drink from it himself now. I think the advice we'd all give you (depending on the age of your little one) is that the sooner you start, the better, because it's a long old process. I'd give it at least two months to wean him from BF to bottle or cup - would others agree?
Teacher and Firsttime, you're right about taking it slowly - felt like I had two big rocks stuck to my chest by the end of today. I was keen to replace a couple of feeds while mum is here because I might cave when he cries and just BF him, but my supply needs more time to adjust.
Firsttime, I'm so glad your little one is starting to warm to the bottle. My playtex one still hasn't arrived, think my DH is still placing all his hopes on that bottle, but I'm sort of resigned to a sippy now.
One thing I'm learning is to be a bit stronger in myself when he cries (mean mummy .) my mum showed me that with a bit of distraction and cuddles he can be happy again in just a few moments, so I need to focus a bit more on the long term goals and not panic when he gets upset. It's hard learning a new skill but seems like we're all getting there bit by bit.
Good news that he took the morning feed though cheap - I think you have done brilliantly. I have continued using the Playtex bottle and it's going ok, sticking with dropping the afternoon feed. Today was 3.5 oz breast milk and 2 oz formula and he finished 5 oz. increasing formula tomorrow - hope to start dropping mid morning feed towards end of the week. Thanks for all the handholding - it nice to be doing this with some company!
I read that you should aim to drop one feed a week, so to swap over gradually, so maybe just stick to his morning cup feed for a week and then tackle the afternoon one? I first stopped feeding at nap time, then tackled the 11am feed, then the 2.30pm one a week later. Great news about this morning's feed though! We use the cheapest tommee tippee sippy cup. He now holds it nonchalantly in one hand sipping from it whilst in his pushchair!
Hi there can I ask what type of cup you used? And how, exactly, did you get him to take it? I have a bottle refusing ebf baby. I'm not going back to work for a while but I would like to get him started on a cup soon so that I know he can get nutrition from somewhere else, because at some point (shocking I know) I could do with a break! I bought a tommee tippee easy flow cup the other day and gave it to him to play with which he didn't seem too interested in, but I haven't intervened to get him to drink from it yet as don't really know what to do...

Virtual customer service agents are constantly getting hit on
August 26, 2011
Charlie is the kind of girl your mom wants you to date. She's smart, polite, low maintenance, not to mention exotically pretty (can't quite place her ethnic background). She's also got a great job. Why not ask her out? Well, there's one minor problem: She isn't real.

Last month I attended the Reno Student Competition. This annual event brings students, faculty and industry together for a few days of problem solving, networking and job hunting. Construction programs from the Western part of the country nominate teams to compete for solving construction problems sponsored by the industry. The BIM problem was sponsored by Webcor this year. The students were given a set of 2D drawings, a construction program and crew production rates. They had to solve specific questions using a building model such as "what happens to the cost and schedule if you change the structure from concrete to steel?" The students had one day to work on the problem and present their approach to the project in front of an industry panel. In the previous years, students were not required to generate a building model only to use building models that were already given to them. This year, however, it was part of the challenge to build construction models at various levels of detail. It was really good to see that construction modeling was not considered to be an extra skill set, but was becoming the standard way of communicating construction information for students. It was even more exciting to see that the winning team from Calpoly used Vico Constructor, Estimator and Control to accurately define the potential impact of schedule delays. Congratulations Calpoly!
I also had the opportunity to listen in on discussions between faculty and industry about the type of people they would need during the economic downturn. Some General Contractors are considering self performing more trades in this economy so they can capture a bigger share of the project. In order to expand their business they would need more craftsman and educated field personnel as opposed office staff who work in silos in estimating and scheduling. BIM can help students simulate the construction process and learn more about trades before they go to the site. The most effective BIM curriculum, therefore, is not the one that's disconnected from construction curriculum, but the one that is integrated with field visits and is part of the construction management course. Many companies are still hiring, but the there are less entry level positions available; the bar is raised and competition is more intense. Students with good understanding of BIM might have an advantage during job interviews.
I am looking forward to seeing next year's competition. It seems like every year both students and faculty are more familiar with the full value that 5D BIM can offer.

well we can have the car on and rev the engine no limit on reving the engine but there is no need to go past 1800-2k rpm anyways. they put you in your class depending on total cone size im in amature 1, basicaly anything smaller then 2 12s or 1 15 up to 3 10 tens i think or 5 8s. im gonna round off all the edges to the port and do 45s in the corners of the port and more then likely 45s in the rest of the box as well. i sitll want to stay with a slot port i just like the sound better and i dont want to change out boxes just to compete. this build isnt just for comps its my daily setup that i listen to at about 80% volume 80% of the time and 100% volume 20% of the time.
i will add more power and ground wires as time goes by but i only have another $80 i can spend on the box.

Juan Pablo vs. Justin Bieber as The Villian!
Who looks worse in America today? Justin Bieber after his brat behavior in his deposition that TMZ sent floating virally around the globe? Or, Juan Pablo Galavis, the Roberts Wesleyan grad who just ended the "most controversial Bachelor ever"?
Juan Pablo, pictured with his prized rose, has ticked off many during his run as "The Bachelor". He took a shot at gays as "perverted", he was rather cavalier in his attitude to many of the women courting him, and Monday even seemed to tick off the host of the ABC show Chris Harrison.
If you did not watch or haven't heard, SPOILER ALERT: in the Final Rose episode, JP (no relation to our teammate here at the station) had the two finalists meet his family. After, Juan Pablo dumped Clare, but not before she gave him a good scolding and said she's never want him to be a father to her children. Smack! I'm sure the female audience loved that zinger!
Now down to his final choice Nikki, a pediatric nurse from Kansas City, JP did not propose and basically didn't even admit to loving her. Chris Harrison was not pleased by this development because I guess it doesn't fit the script of the show. Every other Bachelor and Bachelorette has offered a marriage proposal in the past, and while most don't actually ever lead to the altar, it seems to fit the happy ending part of the script.
Well, JP don't play that way! He and Nikki ended up on the couch for the "After The Rose" grilling and was immediately hated by the studio audience. It seems that America wasted their time with this whole deal and Juan Pablo didn't seem to be too fazed by the whole charade. Oh well, hope his buds at Wesleyan still love their soccer hero because he may need some friendship now. Nikki did decide to stay with JP and work on things. I'm sure that will last until Justin Bieber shows up and swoops Nikki off her feet. Now that would be quite the conclusion for all three drama queens!

IT sounded like a risk: an entree of pan-crisped skate with ruby red grapefruit, olives and a citrus emulsion at the Harrison. The citrus emulsion is classic with skate, and the olives seemed logical, if creative. But grapefruit with skate? It's not a common pairing.
On the plate, though, it made perfect sense. The skate, crunchy around the edges as advertised, was firm and sweet; sweeter, in fact, than the grapefruit, which made a bracingly tart contrast. But a piece of grapefruit tasted next to a briny, meaty olive was succulent and sweet. Chameleonlike, the grapefruit changed with each bite, always adding a lively, citrus burst of juice, refreshing the palate between mouthfuls.
Over the winter and now into spring, chefs in New York City have been using grapefruit in imaginative savory appetizers and main dishes that leave images of the breakfast table -- and all those broiled grapefruit halves -- behind.
Grapefruit's popularity is easy to understand. With neither the stinging acidity of lemons or limes, nor the overt sugariness of oranges and tangerines, grapefruits take the middle ground.Continue reading the main story
The diplomats of citrus fruit, they negotiate all kinds of flavors, adding a springlike vibrancy to starchy, heavy winter ingredients, and a tempering sharpness to those bordering on cloying. Plus, with colors ranging from pearly white to coral pink to scarlet, they make a garnish bright enough to jolt even the most blasé diners from their stupor.
''I use grapefruit this time of year because it's seasonal,'' said Jimmy Bradley, the Harrison's chef. ''It works really well with sweet fish like skate and shellfish, especially scallops. You get a sourness that's not as harsh as lemon, so there's a contrast to the sweetness, but it's a soft one.''
Teaming grapefruit with fish seems to be the most popular way to use it in savory dishes. In just a few months I've seen grapefruit paired with shrimp, fennel and elderflower juice (Lespinasse); lobster, salmon, and green tea (Kai); John Dory and Campari (Guastavino's); crab and asparagus (Le Zinc); and a buttery arctic char (Chanterelle).
But I've also seen it in other combinations, like the goat cheese and radish salad at AZ; grapefruit, turnip and black truffle crumble at Papillon; and even with foie gras at Patria. And since my own epiphany, I've taken to sprinkling sections with sea salt and olive oil as a midafternoon snack that's much more healthful than tortilla chips yet just as tangy as salsa.
Grapefruit juice is also a terrific replacement for all or part of the lemon juice in a salad dressing, lending a delicate, floral perfume. Or mix it with wine or cider vinegar in vinaigrette.
Its mild acidity also makes grapefruit juice a good if nontraditional medium for making ceviche. In Gerry Hayden's version at Aureole, he marinates fluke in grapefruit juice instead of in lemon or lime.
''You need to let it cure a little longer, maybe five or 10 minutes instead of two or three,'' he said. ''It adds a refreshing quality to the dish. Plus, it's a little bit different, and it's always good to try something new.''
And definitely worth the risk.
Adapted from AZ
Time: 15 minutes
1 pink grapefruit
1 orange
1 2-ounce length of daikon radish, thinly sliced
4 French breakfast or red radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup of radish sprouts
10 calamata olives, pitted and halved
2 tablespoons mild fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon, or to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Fleur de sel or coarse sea salt.
1. Slice ends off grapefruit and stand it up on a cutting board. Slice off peel, following curve of fruit. Make sure to cut away all the white pith, exposing flesh. Working over a bowl to catch juices, use a small paring knife to cut out segments. Repeat with orange.
2. Spread daikon radish in one layer on a serving platter or two salad plates. Top with citrus segments, then arrange the breakfast or red radishes over citrus. Sprinkle with radish sprouts, olives and goat cheese. Drizzle with lemon juice and then olive oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
Yield: 2 servings.
Adapted from Aureole
Time: 45 minutes
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup sugar
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 ruby red grapefruits
3/4 pound sushi-quality fluke, thinly sliced
Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
3 piquillo peppers or 1 small red bell pepper, julienned
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup baby cilantro (see note).
1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add ginger. Let simmer for 20 seconds, then strain. Repeat twice more; set aside ginger.
2. In same pot, combine sugar with 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Add ginger and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and spread ginger slices on paper towels to dry slightly.
3. Heat 2 inches of oil in a saucepan or deep skillet until hot but not smoking. Add ginger and fry until crisp, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer ginger slices to parchment paper or paper towels to cool.
4. Slice ends off one of the grapefruits and stand it up on a cutting board. Slice off peel, following curve of fruit. Make sure to cut away all the white pith, exposing flesh. Working over a bowl to catch juices, use a small paring knife to cut out segments. Halve and juice other grapefruit.
5. Place fluke in a nonreactive bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour in grapefruit juice and let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. To serve, arrange fluke slices and grapefruit segments on 4 chilled plates. Top with piquillo pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Garnish with cilantro and ginger slices and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings.
Note: If you cannot find baby cilantro, sliced strips of regular cilantro leaves may be substituted.Continue reading the main story

Roswell has rash of accidents over holiday weekend
Roswell experienced a rash of accidents over the Thanksgiving weekend, including two known hit-and-runs and one DWI which resulted in the driver being flown to a hospital in Albuquerque.
After a few drinks with a friend, Salvador Bustos-Carrasco, 22, was seen speeding along the 300 block of East Second Street. The vehicle did not stop at an intersection on Railroad Avenue. He then rammed into a loading dock on the east side of 610 N. Railroad Ave.
Officers located the driver in the road, in obvious pain and calling for help. Bustos-Carrasco told EMTs that [auth] his brakes had failed. The man was transported to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center and then flown to Albuquerque. Bustos-Carrasco now faces charges of aggravated DWI and reckless driving.
Police were called to Sonic, 808 N. Main St., after a series of hit-and-run accidents involving a single driver. The vehicle first struck one of their electronic menus. It hit a wooden fence and then ran into J&L Jewelers, 824 N. Main St. The building sustained only slight damages.
Another accident with several individuals involved resulted in an arrest for battery on a police officer. The incident occurred on South Chamisal Avenue on Thanksgiving Day; those involved with the accident abandoned their vehicles and fled the scene. As the police rounded up the individuals, one woman began to shout at the officers. When they attempted to detain her, she bit one of the officers on the right forearm. Candace Lindaman, 22, was transported to Chaves County Detention Center, with a $5,000 cash or surety bond.
Elsewhere, a crash alerted a resident of damages when a rock fence was struck on the 100 block of North Michigan Avenue. The resident said she heard a loud noise and when she looked outside, she found a large portion, about 20 feet, of a rock fence had been knocked down. Replacement costs were estimated at $2,000.
Also on Thanksgiving Day, a man was injured when he threw himself out of a car. The victim was sent to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.
On Saturday, the police responded to Little Lambs, 2708 N. Main St., where someone ran over a chain link fence causing $500 worth of damage.

Name: toucanBox
City: London
Website: www.toucanbox.com
toucanBox is a monthly subscription, delivering hands-on arts, crafts and experiments to inspire and teach children aged three to eight.
As part of our brand identity we want to involve children in the development of our projects to ensure they are stimulated and challenged by each craft. We decided to reach out to local schools to establish links that could benefit both us and them.
We host arts and craft sessions in schools to test our product, encouraging feedback and monitoring involvement and engagement.
Schools are also a rich source of gaining potential customers, so we designed a marketing campaign to encourage parents to sign up to our service and, by doing so, earning money for their school. For every new customer we offered £5 to the school to spend how they wish.
These links led us to become more involved with the PTA and 'friends of the school' groups, offering support and entertainment when they arranged fetes where we could present our brand to parents, showcasing the toucanBox experience and explaining what we are all about. Because our subscription service is rather unique, this was a valuable opportunity to discuss the benefits of our product, while providing kids with fun challenges, crafts and games.
We saw our customer base increase by 20% in the month following implementing these ideas, but it has also had a huge impact at making potential customers aware of our brand. We're now looking further afield to work with more schools.

Thought Corrie was simply a cracking way to spend a Monday night? Well you're not wrong, it really is. But as a die hard fan, I think it's important to sit back at the end of such a massive week (Kym Marsh likes snogging to Ice Ice Baby! Roy's got a new sausage!) and think about what we've really learnt.
Mandy is not very bright
"I want to feel numb," said Jason. "Few more of them and you'll feel nothing," said Mandy. We will leave that there.
Sean thinks Maria will try and 'turn him next'
Sean love, unless she gets pregnant and has the world's most extreme cravings for a hotpot, this is seriously unlikely. As for Jason's take on things? He says: "You cannot love Kylie Minogue and Canal St and love Maria", which is simply untrue, as I personally love all of those things, and a night out on Canal St with Kylie Minogue and Maria is almost definitely a dream I had last week. We drank gin and Maria taught us how to do curls in our hair.
It's a slow news week at The Weatherfield Gazette
There is an actual news report on the 5-a-side pub game featuring Steve McDonald. You wouldn't have got this in Ken and Wendy Flamin' Crozier's day (anyone else missing Wendy Flamin' Crozier?)
Steve and Michelle are the new Ross and Rachel
Naughty producers, have you been borrowing storylines from your American comedy pals, because this woman works with man/ boyfriend gets jealous/ boyfriend turns up at the work place and makes a div of himself/ workmate turns out to fancy woman after all, is awfully familiar...
Next week on Corrie: Steve and Michelle go on a break and Michelle's hair becomes an international phenomenon.
Roy has changed sausage supplier
No laughing at the back about Roy's sausage please, this is a serious storyline about the changing of Roy's Cumberland.
Michelle and Rob kissed to Ice Ice Baby, she wore stone washed jeans
Where are the DVD spin-off people we have previously appealed to about Beth's trip to Faliraki? They need to get working on something, and it needs an awesome 80s soundtrack (Kylie can probably help again), and more than anything, it needs Kym Marsh with a mullet in stone-washed jeans carrying a ghetto blaster.
A belly button sweat patch and a sweat band over a widow's peak can kill a crush dead
Corrie costume department, how could you do this to me? My crush on Steve - founded in the mid '90s at Granada Studios with that crucial question: 'Which keyring do you want, Andy or Steve?' has survived many things. The skinhead years, his ridiculous attraction to Tracy Barlow. But can it survive belly button sweat? There's only one way to find out...
Tune in next week!

If your tapes have been in a flood, here are a few things you should know about their condition:
- Short-term exposure to water does not destroy most magnetic tapes.
- Most tapes recovered from floods can be restored if treated promptly.
- Water, alone, cannot damage the magnetic recording on ferric oxide tapes (such as VHS tapes).
- Large to medium size tapes resist damage better than very small tapes.
- Most older, analog tapes resist damage better than newer tapes.
- Most modern digital tapes such as Mini-DV, acetate-based tapes (reel-to-reel audio tapes), and metal tapes (marked MP/ME) do not withstand long immersion in water—keep immersion time to a minimum
You should also know:
- The most damaging exposure involves salt water, sewage or chlorinated tap water.
- Tapes that are left damp for extended periods of time can develop fungal growth quite rapidly. Fungus will continue to grow on damp tapes and may cause serious damage.
- Incomplete or partial drying can also result in damaging fungal growth.
- Uneven drying or exposure to heat can cause tapes to deform. Drying can also cause tape to stick to itself or to the inside of the cassette.
Until clean, keep wet tapes at their initial level of wetness. Most magnetic tapes can remain wet for several days as long as water is cool and clean, however older tapes may not survive longer-term immersion. Do not freeze wet tapes.
- If water has condensed inside a cassette, treat as a wet tape.
- It is not necessary to immerse tapes that are wet only on the outside of the tape pack.
- If tapes are already dry when you retrieve them from the flood site, it is best not to rinse or re-wet them. Most contaminants that are already dry do not represent an immediate danger to the tape.
Handle wet tapes very gently and NEVER attempt to play back wet tapes (this will cause irreversible damage). Water compromises the physical structure of magnetic tapes, making them much more susceptible to stretching, tearing, and edge damage.
To rinse off contaminants, be gentle and use only cool distilled water. NEVER rinse tapes with tap water that might contain chlorine.
- The most common and dangerous contaminants in water are salt, chlorine, and sewage.
Contaminants, especially sewage, may require special health precautions. Follow advice of your local health officials. Protective gloves/clothing must be worn at all times when handling contaminated tapes.
- Initial decontamination/rinsing should be done with the tapes still on their reels or in their cassettes to avoid damage.
- Do not touch magnetic media with bare hands.
- Do not unwind or remove tapes from the reel.
- Rinse tapes by gently pouring distilled water over the tape or by submerging the tape in distilled water and gently moving the tape from side to side.
- Try to keep labels on tapes to identify content. Water soluble labels may be damaged.
Stand tape on edge to dry, do not lie flat. Air dry tapes in cool, dry air within 48 hours.
After drying and cleaning, copy the tape to a digital format.

BCE cuts 2,500 manager jobs as buyout nears
By Wojtek Dabrowski
TORONTO (Reuters) - BCE Inc said on Monday it will slash 2,500 management jobs at its main Bell Canada phone company unit to clamp down on costs as it gets ready to go private in the world's biggest leveraged buyout later this year.
Canada's biggest telecom company said the cuts amount to about 6 percent of the total Bell Canada work force, or about 15 percent of management. They include a 30 percent reduction in executive jobs that the company announced earlier this month.
The cuts, combined with other reductions the company made earlier this year, are expected to generate annualized savings of about C$300 million ($294.1 million).
"It was just a top-heavy structure and I think this kind of puts it more in line with what it should be in order to work more efficiently," said Troy Crandall, an analyst at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier.
Montreal-based BCE is being taken private in a C$34.8 billion buyout led by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan and a group of U.S. private-equity firms. The deal is due to close later this year and will saddle the company with billions of dollars of debt.
That, in turn, has put pressure on management to cut costs and generate as much cash as possible to repay that debt.
Crandall said BCE could limit pay increases and crimp employee savings plans in order to further tighten its cost structure.
George Cope, the new CEO of Bell Canada and BCE, had been widely expected by analysts to make sweeping cost cuts and other internal changes during his first months on the job. Continued...

==Basic Description==

 The reveal (or progressive disclosure) widget is similar to a checkbox, except it has no false value. (A checkbox having an explicit false value gives it the ability to be in an indeterminant state, when it is neither true nor false.)

 ==Semantics / Rationale==

 The basic behavior of a reveal widget is an arrow or icon that can be clicked on, at which point the arrow "turns down" and an optional panel to which the value is bound reveals itself. The alternate term "progressive disclosure" is more descriptive of the semantics, as there are extended pieces of the UI that are hidden until the user chooses to reveal them.

 ==Requirements==

 ''What are the fundamental requirements this widget must meet in order to solve the problem for which it was created?''

 ==API==

 ''What does the interface of the widget look like?''

 ==Other Issues==

 ''What other issues will need consideration?''

 ==Related Work==

 ''What additional code must be written to support this widget? What platform implementations / APIs can be leveraged when implementing this widget?''

Hi Pup pals- sorry for taking so dogone long to blog on here. It's been a lot of work teaching my mom all the different walking trails in the area but i think she is getting the hang of it- although she still seems to need to take me along. No worries though, fur buds, i make sure she is leashed by the hand so she doesn't get lost;)
Anywag, so i'm writing to tell you about how awesome today was! My mom is starting her first internship next week and she said i would start going to a DAYCARE near her site so we could ride to and from her work together (seriously, she can't get enough of me!). So today i got to visit the place for the first time and it was soooo fun! There were up and downie things (mom told me they were called 'ramps') and tunnels and other adventure place stuff mom said are part of 'agility class,' whatever that is. I had to take a temperament test- whiched i passed- as if there were any doubt- and then i got to stay for seven hours to play with all the other dogs there. Awesommme! I ran around the whole time and was the fastest of them all=)
Fellow puppies, while i don't fully understand why the humans decide to send us to daycare, i must urge you to campaign for it if you haven't already had the opportunity. And now, i collapse, because i'm so so so so sleeeeeepy.....
Paws and puppy licks,
Hi Pup pals,
I regret my long absence, but don't think i haven't had you all on my mind! I have gone on woodsy adventures and thought of you. I have made yummy doggy biscuits with my owner and thought of you. I have chased cats around the neighborhood (Dog Pride!) and thought of you. In conclusion, you have all been on my minds and i hope you had a woofy merry christmas!
Hi pawed pals-
It is times like these that i become so grateful for Dogster. I know I can come here, pour out my heart, and have a furry cyber-audience that will listen and understand my sentiments completely. To that, i say thank you. Thank you woofy much.
It finally feels like fall and all the leaves have changed colors. I was born this time last year and so all the leaves were already on the ground when my owner and i began walking on that 'leash' thing. But this year, i've SEEN the leaves change colors with my own eyes. I love it when they fall to the ground and the wind blows them. My owner tells me they are just leaves, but i know they are really little animals whom i must chase and capture. My favorite thing is to bury myself amidst a big pile of these leafy things and then wait for a foolish chipmunk to saunter by so that i can attack. Guerrilla warfare! Woof woof woof!
Beyond that, life is good. One of my best pup friends had a bday party at a dog spa a few weeks ago and i stuffed my face with cake. I got to be Dogzilla for Halloween this past week, and Saturday, my owner says she is taking me to a new place for hiking. I"m so excited. Life is good in da' hood;)
How are the rest of you all?
Paws and puppy licks,

Is Coke gay friendly or not?
James Franco Dropped By Advertising Campaigns Over His Gay Themed Films
In a red carpet interview last week at SXSW, James Franco suggested that he has been dropped from three advertising campaigns due to his involvement in two gay-oriented films he put out at Sundance, and not due to his image as the companies reported. He produced Kink and co-directed and starred in a forthcoming Travis Matthews film, Interior.Leather Bar. Franco suggested that this exemplifies the homophobia that still exists in American media. As many advertisers have already begun to notice, gays and lesbians will only continue to become an increasingly visible part of American society. While the exact reason for Franco having been dropped from these campaigns is unclear at this time, the depiction of raw gay sexuality as portrayed in these films was no doubt part of the conversation. Other explicit films depicting heterosexual sex rarely if ever raise an eyebrow among the public, and neither should these.
Sarah Schulman, Duke University Press, 1998
In Stagestruck noted novelist and outspoken critic Sarah Schulman offers an account of her growing awareness of the startling similarities between her novel People in Trouble and the smash Broadway hit Rent. Written with a powerful and personal voice, Schulman's book is part gossipy narrative, part behind-the-scenes glimpse into the New York theater culture, and part polemic on how mainstream artists co-opt the work of "marginal" artists to give an air of diversity and authenticity to their own work. Rising above the details of her own case, Schulman boldly uses her suspicions of copyright infringement as an opportunity to initiate a larger conversation on how AIDS and gay experience are being represented in American art and commerce. Closely recounting her discovery of the ways in which Rent took materials from her own novel, Schulman takes us on her riveting and infuriating journey through the power structures of New York theater and media, a journey she pursued to seek legal restitution and make her voice heard. Then, to provide a cultural context for the emergence of Rent—which Schulman experienced first-hand as a weekly theater critic for the New York Press at the time of Rent's premiere—she reveals in rich detail the off- and off-off-Broadway theater scene of the time. She argues that these often neglected works and performances provide more nuanced and accurate depictions of the lives of gay men, Latinos, blacks, lesbians and people with AIDS than popular works seen in full houses on Broadway stages. Schulman brings her discussion full circle with an incisive look at how gay and lesbian culture has become rapidly commodified, not only by mainstream theater productions such as Rent but also by its reduction into a mere demographic made palatable for niche marketing. Ultimately, Schulman argues, American art and culture has made acceptable a representation of "the homosexual" that undermines, if not completely erases, the actual experiences of people who continue to suffer from discrimination or disease. Stagestruck's message is sure to incite discussion and raise the level of debate about cultural politics in America today.

The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader is the biggest and most comprehensive multi-disciplinary anthology of critical work in lesbian/gay studies.
Comprising scholarship, criticism, commentary, and political analysis, lesbian/gay studies is one of the fastest growing fields in contemporary thought. Its influence is changing the shape of every branch of learning in the humanities and social sciences.
Bringing together forty-two groundbreaking essays--many of them already classics--this collection provides a much-needed introduction to the contemporary state of lesbian/gay studies, extensively illustrating the range, scope, diversity, appeal, and power of the work currently being done in the field. Featuring essays by such prominent scholars as Judith Butler, John D'Emilio, Kobena Mercer, Adrienne Rich, Gayle Rubin, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, The Lesbian and Gay Studies Reader explores a multitude of sexual, ethnic, racial, and socio-economic experiences.
Stephen Tropiano, Applause Theatre & Cinema Book Publishers, 2002.
Television history was made on April 30, 1997, when comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her sitcom alter-ego Ellen Morgan, "came out" to her close friends and 36 million viewers. This groundbreaking episode represented a significant milestone in Amerian television. For the first time, a TV series centered around a lesbian character who was portrayed by an openly gay actor. The millions of viewers who tuned in that historic night were witnesses to a new era in television. THE PRIME TIME CLOSET offers an entertaining and in-depth glimpse into homosexuality on television from the 1950s through today. Divided into four sections, each devoted to a major television genre, this unique book explores how gay men and lesbians have been depicted in over three hundred television episodes and made-for-TV films. These include medical series, police/detective shows, situation comedies and TV dramas. THE PRIME TIME CLOSET also reveals how television's treatement of homosexuality has reflected and reinforced society's ignorance about and fear of gay men and lesbians. At the same time, it celebrates programs like Ellen and Will and Grace that have broken new ground in their sensitive and enlightened approach to homosexuality and gay-related themes. This book is witty and insightful, accessible and illuminating, a look into what has become an integral part of American media culture.
Steven M. Kates, Haworth Press, 1998
A scholarly yet personal study, Twenty Million New Customers!: Understanding Gay Men's Consumer Behavior is a mixed shopping bag, taking you on a day-in-the-life tour of the buying patterns of 44 gay men. As an up-to-date catalog of scholarly data, it helps you see how "mainstream" businesses can tailor their marketing methods to this expanding demand in a competent, professional, and ethical manner. As a commentary on lifestyle, it transports you to unexplored consumer behavior territory that most people still consider "deviant."
Grant Lukenbill, Harpercollins; 1st edition, 1995
As companies across America battle daily for increased market share, many are ignoring a vast untapped market segment of consumers ready and waiting to throw their economic weight behind those companies that acknowledge who they are and what they want. Gay and lesbian Americans -- organized, in touch, and increasingly powerful -- represent the greatest opportunity for businesses today to increase their revenues and boost their corporate images. Companies like American Express, AT&T, Time Warner and Miller beer already are taking advantage of this huge market. Now how can you? Written by America's foremost authority on marketing to gay and lesbian consumers, Untold Millions is the definitive guide for marketers, executives, advertisers, employees and entrepreneurs who want to get their companies on track for this new marketplace revolution. Using the most valuable research data to date -- from the groundbreaking 1994 Yankelovich MONITORr Perspective on Gays/Lesbians -- Grant Lukenbill reveals an in-depth profile of gay and lesbian consumers: Who they are, what they need, what they buy and what motivates how they spend their money. In addition, he offers concrete, proven strategies for positioning products and services to this defined consumer segment -- from building good relationships with the gay and lesbian market through corporate sponsorships to avoiding nightmares set off by outdated personnel policies.

Size of rooms, free hot breakfast was good, quiet, clean, decent bed and pillows Outdoor pool and hot tub. No real complaints
The hotel staff was very friendly and the hotel rooms were very clean, probably the cleanest we have stayed in so far. The free breakfast was also very good. The bed was not the best, and our room door was actually broken so it had a hard time taking our key. Also the toilet would flush on its own at random times.
Room had iron,fridge, and microwave. sheets smell weird.
The hotel was great. Beds were comfortable. Rolled into town at about 4:30, laid in bed and did not want to get off after that. Breakfast was really good. They had eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits and gravy, waffles, cereal, muffins, bagels both days. Didn't have coffee, so not sure if that was any good or not. The location was great. Only moved my car once the two days I was there and that was just to go to the miniature golf place. Saw some deer behind and in front of the hotel on one of the evenings. Took a lot of pictures. The eggs were not that good. One waffle maker with one big family hogging it. Five family members, and 2 and a half minutes per waffle was a little ridiculous. Bed was a way too comfortable that I just wanted to lay in bed the entire time I was there. Hahah.
The hotel is new and nice. Service was excellent. Our room was great, nicely furnished and nice decor and a very comfortable bed. The gym was small but adequate with primarily cardio equipment. They need better toilet paper. We landed in a handicap accessible room which was fine but the shower head was difficult to adjust.
The location is very convienant to the mid town shopping and to lincoln county grill. Room cleaning never happened. They slipped a note under the door at 830AM saying they couldnt get into the room and stated to call front desk by 10AM to request it. We usually dont leave our room until 9-930 for any vacation we do. They never did come back even though we called down. Front desk was acting like they were new. The key cards had to be reactivated 4 times each and we were only there 2 nights. Otherwise the room is pleasant for this town.
The room was great, a king bed and sitting area. Like the layout. We go an end room so didn't have people on both sides of the room and it was quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was okay with eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and cereal. Coffee was good. I would definitely go back.
Near local stores and casinos....overall a good value.
You can't go wrong with hotel ruidoso. It's clean, friendly and they have an indoor heated pool and breakfast. It's great for kids and family but if you want a romantic stay away from kids this is not the place. There is always children in the pool and the jacuzzi. I would go more often if it wasn't so expensive.
Right in heart of Midtown Ruidosa! Easy walk to shops,restaurants, and bars with love entertainment. Also a great location to hide and bike.
The location was good - it is located within walking distance of many boutique shops and restaurants. The heated indoor pool was a great hit with the kids! The breakfast bar could have more healthy selections.
Friendliness and clean. Could not lock the sliding bolt lock from the inside!
Rooms were clean, staff very nice and accomadating. We were awakened at 8;30 for room cleaning (no do not distub sign to hang up). When we told her to come back,she arrived at 9:30. We asked again for her to come back and she informed us that we were her last room and she was going home so we let let her in although we were not dressed or ready to go yet. Next morning, we were at the breakfast room at 9:15 (they closed at 9:30). Things were already locked up (although she unlocked the juice for us), and she was sweeping up. When 2 more fellows arrived at 9:25 the hot food had disappeared and she had to bring it back out.
The Sitzmark was just a pleasant surprise. Our stay overlapped a holiday weekend and finding lodging was a challenge. Didn't know what to expect and we were pleased with our find.
Location was good but the real plus was that room/facility was especially nice and well maintained. Water pressure was a little low, showering takes a little extra time, and the "breakfast" is a muffin and pump carafe of coffee; we went to Denny's.
The hotel is nice, very fitting for a ski trip. The bed was great, the room was nice very comfortable . Flat screen TV with Satellite. Morning coffee and muffins. That's about it. The walls are very thin, I mean very thin. The couple in the next room talked until 3 in the morning and you can hear everything . I checked Adults only because it wasn't only talking that was heard (intercourse). It was so bad that if you closed your eyes, you would have sworn they were in your room. I feel bad because there was a family with small kids on the other side of them. Oh and the water pressure in the shower sucked.
This place is so different. It is just awesome! I honestly feels like a David Lynch movie. Plus the sauna is amazing! The front desk hours seem limited, and check in seem rather late. Wish it was at 12pm and not 2pm.
easy access to the room. cats on my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was cheap period. The place has old smelly carpets, poor breakfast, definitely not a vacation destination. I would never go back. Rundown and old says it all. The check in is 3pm so if you get there early they will charge you for another day.
Location, staff friendliness, nice remodeled bathroom, comfortable bed Tv was small and old, room was small
It was pretty quiet when we stayed. The cabin was in good repair. A little cozy, but that is expected. Staff was polite and check in was as little hassle as I've ever expected. Deer were are over the place and were friendly. TV was a bit dated, they would be better off replacing it with a small led lcd, would even save some energy, but that's a minor gripe. Toilet was temperamental but they provided a plunger nearby. No problems with water temp or quality in the bathrooms.
It was a very nice place to stay. The rooms were clean and the bed were very comfortable. It is next door to K-Bobs restaurant.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. More choices than other hotels for the complimentary breakfast. The parking lot was crowded and didn't seem as safe as some of the other areas in town.
It was quiet. Seems to be in a safe area and there was no sketchy clientele that I noticed. The room was clean. The room was pretty small. No fridge in the room.
The staff was very rude and I asked for an extra pillow and they handed me one and a pillowcase and she told me I'd have to put it on myself as she was off the clock and did not want to help....very dirty, our floor was not swept one time in 4 days
It was close to everything
Location. On the 'Y' in Ruidoso. Easy in/out to the facility Allowed to check-in 3 hours after the stated check-in time of 4 pm. No housekeepers on staff - the managers were cleaning rooms. And not very well. After waiting 3 hours to get into my room - there was no toilet paper.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Nothing I arrived at 5 pm and my room was not clean yet. I finally got checked in and then I went to a concert and when I came back they had checked me out and checked someone else into my room a over all my belongings to the office. Then they sent me to Roswell
Not clean, very run down
Hot tub and heated pool. Staff member was awesome. Rooms need to be updated.
I originally booked two nights. after my first night, i noticed there were BEDBUGS on the mattresses. I immediately grabbed my belongings and took them to my vehicle. The receptionist told me id be getting a refund for night 2. still waiting on the refund
Location Everything is outdated, including bed, pillows, tile in bathroom, shower curtain, blankets. You can hear your neighbors conversations through the wall. This motel 6 needs a update in a huge way.
Check in was easy. The room was clean and in good order. Was next to exterior door. Kept awake all night by those entering and exiting. Refrigerator was very noisy.
Nothing Yes, the amount of bed bugs in my bed. And the other black bugs I had crawling on me. And the fact that I am having a difficult time recovering a refund for the room which left me stranded at 3 in the morning.
Staff is friendly, the owner/manager is real nice. The parking is well led up at night, real convinient access to strip and stores. Even to casinos. It has a rusty odor, walls needed paint job, owner said that 113 was the newst room but had a funky, old rusty moldy smell. No continental breakfast on monday. I was there saturday-monday. Ice machine didnt work, carpet was dirty. Rooms neede a lil touch up, but other than that its ok. I mean it is a smaller hotel.
The staff are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The motel is in the process of remodeling, but that doesn't excuse the cigarette burns in the comforter or chair. The room is miniscule. I have paid less and gotten more at other places in Ruidoso.
Inexpensive The heater was not central. It was a very old heater that did not heat the small room. I spent extra money buying a space heater to stay comfortable.
nothing everything, the towels were not much larger than hand towels and the hot water not very hot at all and the toilet leaked on to floor when flushed and overall a very old and outdatedmotel and the beds are like bricks
The man on the front,(must have been the owner, he said his wife was upstairs) was very nice, friendly and helpful. He even offered extra towels and went as far as finding me a safety pin the morning of check out because my dress needed a quick fix! The walls are either paper thin, or the people next door to us were deaf. I awoke like at 3am to muffled noise an talking and turned out to be that the neighbors were watching tv and you could hear it in our room.
Comfortable bed. Killed a black widow spider inside the room.
Location is close to Alto NM and Ski Apache Building is outdated. Walls are paper thin. Complained about noise in next room and instead of moving us to another room the staff asked the noisy guests to calm down. After staff was gone from premises for the night the noisy guests continued being loud.

Hi all
Hoping you can help. I need to reset the airbag light on my car. I was messing around routing wires underneath my dash when I knocked the connected for the passenger side airbag with the ignition on. I've been trying to figure out how to do this without breaking the bank and I'm a bit stuck. Seems as if the sure fire way is to use the Peake SRS reset tool.
I'm also interested in checking for fault codes etc on the car. I know one of my parking sensors is out, but want to check for other faults as I picked up the car as Cat C.

LeBron James has reached so many milestones in his NBA career it may be easy to lose track.
He hasn't.
Just a point shy of turning into the youngest player in league history to score 20,000 points, James knew exactly where he stood. He worked a switch off Draymond Green on the wing, dribbled past David Lee and pulled up in the lane from 12 feet to make an off-balance jumper with 2:45 remaining in the 2nd quarter.
On a trip that has had more bad news than good, James rewrote the headlines and the record books again.
The 3-time NBA MVP also surpassed 5,000 assists on a landmark night, leading the Miami Heat to a 92-75 victory over the undermanned Golden State Warriors. He finished with 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in just 30 minutes to grab his last slice of history.
In the locker room after the game, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and team president Pat Riley took a second give James the game ball and recognize his latest record.
Players roared and huddled in the center of the room. Then, as Spoelstra related, "Everybody took a shot at him – a punch, a jab, and an elbow, whatever they could get in before he started hitting back."
"That's a big-time moment," Spoelstra announced. "He's a special guy. He's a special player. He is a once-in-a-generational type of player."
James eclipsed both marks before halftime, helped Miami go ahead by 34 points in the 3rd quarter and authorized Spoelstra to rest his starters – without debate this time – for the 4th. Dwyane Wade added 15 points; 8 rebounds and 6 assists and Mario Chalmers scored 15 for the Heat, who had lost 3 of their last 4 away from home.
James already had been the youngest player in NBA history to win rookie of the year, record a triple-double, score 1,000 points, score 10,000 points and win MVP honors at an All-Star game.
Add another to the list.
"It means everything," James expounded. "It means a lot. Firstly, like I continue to say, it means I have been able to be healthy. To be out on the floor and do what I love to do, I love the game of basketball and I try and give everything to the game. And with some luck it will continue to give back to me." Basketball odds
James, who made 11 of 20 shots from the floor, needed 18 points entering the game to become the 38th NBA player to reach the milestone.
Previously, the youngest player to score 20,000 points was L.A Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who got there when he was 29 years, 122 days old. James was 28 years, 17 days last Wednesday.
Only Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain (29 years, 134 days) and Michael Jordan (29 years, 326 days) reached the most recent marker before turning 30.
James also is the 13th player with 20,000 points and 5,000 assists. The only active players to reach both marks are Bryant and Boston's Kevin Garnett.

Be Prepared to Care for Your Cat in a Natural Disaster
Getting your cat out of and away from your home safely will likely be your first order of business. To do this, you'll need a carrier for your cat. The carrier should be located in a place where it is readily accessible and easy to find. In addition, you'll need to be able to get your cat into the carrier, preferably without a struggle or fight.
A little bit of advance preparation can go a long ways towards making your cat feel more comfortable in his carrier and making it easier for you to place him in the carrier when necessary. To get your cat used to the carrier, leave it out with the door open so that your cat can enter and exit at will. Place a bed, towel or blanket in the carrier to make it more comfortable for your cat to rest inside. Try placing a small amount of catnip, some food, or a few toys in the carrier to entice your cat to enter. For more information about training your cat to a carrier, see this CATalyst Council video, Cats and Carriers: Friends Not Foes.
It's a good idea to have an emergency kit packed and ready to go in case you need to leave your home in a hurry. In the emergency kit, include a copy of your cat's medical records, a supply of any medication your cat is currently receiving, a few cans of food and some bottled water, food dishes and water bowls, emergency phone numbers, and a first aid kit.
Be sure your cat has identification. Ideally, an identification tag on your cat's collar and a microchip will both be used as a means of identification for your cat. Be sure to include a phone number on the identification tag where you can be reached at all times, such as a mobile phone number.
Have a destination that is cat-friendly planned in advance. Check out the hotels and motels in your area to find out whether they are cat-friendly. Locate the boarding facilities that are able to keep cats. Make plans with friends and family members that may be able to house you and/or your cats in the event of an emergency. Keep these telephone numbers and addresses handy. It may be wise to store them in your emergency kit.
Hopefully, you'll never need to take advantage of your emergency plan. However, having a plan in place and ready to implement can give you peace of mind and save you a lot of grief and hassle in a real emergency.
Remember, if you need to evacuate your home, even if you believe the evacuation will only be for a short time, never leave your cat behind. Plan in advance to keep all members of your household safe, including your cat.
