The Man From Snowy River
There was movement at the station, for the word has passed around That the colt from old Regret had got away, And had joined the wild bush horses—he was worth a thousand pound, So all the cracks had gathered to the fray. All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far Had mustered at the homestead overnight, For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are, And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight. There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup, The old man with his hair as white as snow; But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up— He would go wherever horse and man could go. And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand; No better horseman ever held the reins; For never horse could throw him while the saddle girths would stand— He had learnt to ride while droving on the plains. And one was there, a sripling on a small and weedy beast, He was something like a racehorse undersized, With a touch of Timor pony—three parts thoroughbred at least— And such as are by mountain horsemen prized. He was hard and tough and wiry—just the sort that won't say die— There was courage in his quick impatient tread; And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye, And the proud and lofty carriage of his head. But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay, And the old man said, "That horse will never do For a long and tiring gallop—lad, you'd better stop away, For those hills are far too rough for such as you." So he waited, sad and wistful—only Clancy stood his friend— "I think we ought to let him come," he said; "I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end, For both his horse and he are mountain bred. 'He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosiosko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough; Where the horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flintstones every stride, There the man that holds his own is good enough. And the Snowy River riders in the mountains make their home, Wher the river runs those giant hills between; I have seen full many riders since I first commenced to roam, But nowhere yet such horsemen have I seen." So he went; they found the horses by the big mimosa clump, They raced away towards the mountain's brow, And the old man gave his orders, "Boys, go at them from the jump, No use to try for fancy riding now. And, Clancy, you must wheel them, try and wheel them to the right. Ride boldly, lad, and never fear the spills, For never yet was rider that could keep the mob in sight, If once they gain the shelter of those hills." So Clancy rode to wheel them—he was racing on the wing Where the best and boldest riders take their place. And he raced his stock-horse past them. and he made the ranges ring With his stock-whip, as he met them face to face. Then they halted for a moment, while he swung the dreaded lash, But they saw their well-loved mountain full in view, And they charged beneath the stock-whip with a sharp and sudden dash, And off into the mountain scrub they flew. Then fast the horsemen followed, where the gorges deep and black Resounded to the thunder of their tread, And their stock-whips woke the echoes, and they fiercely answered back from the cliffs and crags that beetled overhead. And upward, ever upward, the wild horses held their way, Where the mountain ash and kurrajong grew wide; And the old man muttered fiercely, "We may bid the mob good-day, For no man can hold them down the other side." When they reached the mountain's summit, even Clancy took a pull— It well might make the boldest hold their breath; For the wild hop scrub grew thickly, and the hidden ground was full Of wombat holes, and any slip meant death. But the man from Snowy River let the pony have its head, He swung his stock-whip round and gave a cheer, And he raced him down that mountain like a torrent down its bed, While the others stood and watched in very fear. He sent the flintstones flying, but the pony kept its feet, He cleared the fallen timber in his stride, And the man from Snowy River never shifted in his seat— It was grand to see that mountain horseman ride. Through the stringy barks and saplings, over rough and broken ground, Down the hillside at a racing pace he went; And he never drew the bridle till he landed safe and sound At the bottom of that terrible descent. He was right among the horses as he climbed the further hill, And the watchers on the hillside, standing mute, Saw him ply the stock-whip fiercely; he was right among them still, As he raced across a clearing in pursuit. Then they lost him for a moment, where two mountain gullies met In the ranges—but a final glimpse reveals On a dim and distant hillside, the wild horses racing yet With the man from Snowy River at their heels. And he ran them single-handed till their flanks were white with foam; He followed like a bloodhound in their track, Till they halted, cowed and beaten; and he turned their heads for home, And alone and unassisted brought them back. But his hardy mountain pony he could scarcely raise a trot, He was blood from hip to shoulder from the spur; But his pluck was still undaunted, and his courage fiery hot, For never yet was mountain horse a cur. And down by Kosiosko, where the pine-clad ridges raise Their torn and rugged battlements on high, Where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze Of a midnight in the cold and frosty sky, And where around the Overflow the reed-beds sweep and sway To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide, There the man from Snowy River is a household word today, And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

Over six months ago, Google announced it would start phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 on Orkut and YouTube, and started pushing its users to modern browsers. The search giant has now given a specific kill date for old browser support on the video website via a page on Google.com titled Solve a Problem: Upgrading your browser:
Support stops on March 13th. Stopped support essentially means that some future features on YouTube will be rolled out that won't work in older browsers.
As you can see in the screenshot above, YouTube will have an interstitial appear when users on older browser try to watch a video on YouTube. Google says the interstitial will show up indefinitely every two weeks until the user upgrades to the most recent version of their browser. Google deems anything below IE7, Firefox 3.0, Chrome 4.0, and Safari 3.0 as an "older browser." Users on these browsers will still be able to watch YouTube videos, but additional features that Google plans to roll out may not be supported in these older browsers.
Late last month, Google announced it will end old browser support for Google Docs and Google Sites on March 1, 2010 and earlier this month, the company announced it would start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar by year end. Google is pushing both enterprise and consumer users towards newer browsers on all its Web properties.
Google's stance on IE6 varies from Microsoft's because the search giant does not need to support Windows XP, the operating system with which IE6 first shipped, as long as Redmond (which will support XP and IE6 until April 8, 2014). Microsoft, on the other hand, which has stated time and time again that it wants to see IE6 disappear as much as anyone else, refuses to force anyone to upgrade (though it's worth noting that the software giant's Office Web Apps won't support IE6 either, just like Google Docs) and says the decision is ultimately up to the user.
Microsoft is trying to push users to upgrade by touting IE8's many features over IE6, particularly in the area of security. So far, this has worked relatively well, as IE8 is the most popular browser, although IE6 is still used by about 20 percent of surfers worldwide, according to NetApplications.

Has Your Saturn Been Recalled?
With a several General Motors recalls underway - especially ones for the Saturn Ion, Outlook, and Sky - I've received emails from quite a few folks who are concerned that their vehicles might be impacted. If you haven't received a letter in the mail from GM and you are worried, General Motors has set up an online database that's searchable by VIN.
Just Bought My Sixth Saturn: a 2008 Astra XR3
I said in the past I wold not buy another, but I just went ahead and purchased my sixth Saturn: a new 2008 Astra 3 door XR with 8873 miles. It was never registered and I will be the first owner. Yes, it is 2010, but this car was priced right and I had to either replace my Ion or start putting money into it, as it is 6 years old and has 93 thousand miles. I was car shopping and found this treasure.

Automotive News reports that General Motors is preparing what will likely be one last Saturn advertising campaign in an effort to sell the brand's last remaining 9,400 2008 and 2009 models. Susan Docherty, GM's newly appointed vice president of U.S. sales, told the trade publication that "starting next week, we'll have a print campaign which features that product. In the next 90 days, we'll have cleaned up that inventory. I'm not worried about it at all."

Saturn of Raleigh and Saturn of Cary recently posted an audio podcast featuring commentary from Bill Shotwell, executive general manager and vice president of the North Carolina Triangle area Saturn retail facilities. Shotwell discusses Penske Automotive Group's pending purchase of Saturn from General Motors.
Lack of a Profitable Small Car Hurt Saturn in Canada
Michael Bettencourt from Globe and Mail: The Saturn brand's lack of a profitable small car and its pairing with another ailing brand in Saab in Canada helped prompt the decision to close all Canadian Saturn and Saab outlets in the next few months, according to the company that will keep the brand alive in the U.S.
Motor Trend: Penske Hopes to "Use a Competitor's Excess North American Capacity" for New Saturns
Motor Trend reports in its September 2009 issue that Roger Penske ultimately plans to sell Saturn vehicles that are built in North America. The magazine speculates that next-generation Saturn vehicles will be based on Renault-Samsung-Nissan models, which will be built in Nissan North American factories that have excess, spare capacity.
Saturn Astra: The Lost Saturn
Aaron Warren from the Examiner: Available in a surprisingly roomy, and practical 5 door and 3 door hatchback, the Astra receives it's power from a sweet little 1.8 liter mill churning out 138 HP to the front wheels. This may not sound like much, but it's how that horsepower is channeled through the autobahn tuned chassis that impresses!
Did Saturn Move Up Market too Fast?
Jerry Flint from Forbes: Saturn probably had the latest and best lineup of any GM brand: two well-done SUVs, the Outlook and the Vue, the handsome Aura sedan, a sister of the Chevy Malibu, the European built-small Astra car, and even a two-seat sports car, the Sky. But sales went nowhere. GM had said it will kill the brand, but now hopes to sell the name to Roger Penske.
The World's Most Loyal and Dedicated Saturn Family
Earlier this month, Al Clapsaddle's wife took delivery of a brand new 2009 Saturn Aura XE — their family's 47th new Saturn!

His journey with the "different kind of company" began when his son started looking for his first new car.

Letter from Saturn Aims to Provide Owners Assurance
Saturn owners have never been shy about sharing their thoughts regarding our brand.

Your e-mails and phone calls showed that many of you share our enthusiasm for the idea that Saturn might return to its roots as an independent company. The thoughtful comments were a clear reminder of one of the things that has always made Saturn special. |

9 Wacky People Who Show Up for Thanksgiving Dinner
Ah, Thanksgiving. Every family's tradition is different, but some things always ring true. There will always be a motley crew of folks coming together to celebrate and slip into a tryptophan-induced slumber.
Here are the people who show up at Thanksgiving dinner.
The college student
He doesn't want to be there. He's only home because his dorm is locked and the sole reason he's visiting his parents for as long as he is is because it takes a lot of time to do all that laundry. His main concern is getting through the meal so he can duck out and find some old high school buddies to go out drinking.
The pig
The pig is the not-so-nice way of describing how much he can shovel in his tummy. It's not like he fasted, either. He just has an ability to store food like the basement of a doomsday prepper. Basically, it's like Joey from 'Friends' showed up.
The football fan
This guy may not have any rooting/gambling/football fantasy-related interest in any of the games on this day, but he is not above missing the whole meal just so he can watch the entire overtime, choosing to eat an small bowl of M&Ms because they're the closest edible thing within reach. If you're lucky, he'll get up from the indentation he's created in the couch to say hello to Grandma on his way to the bathroom.
The uncle no one sees the rest of the year
This guy is so mysterious and gung ho to see you, always mentioning how he's definitely going to be in touch with you in a few weeks when he's back in town, only to disappear like a candy wrapper in the wind. No one knows where he lives. No one knows his age. He's like the Dos Equis most interesting man in the world, without, you know, the interesting part.
The gossip
This woman knows everything about the entire family and decides now is the best time to drop the bomb that your cousin just started treatments to undergo transgender surgery. She's so good, in fact, she may be the one to tell you about your impending midlife crisis.
The leftover lady
At some point, this woman is guaranteed to say the following: "Please, take some home! There's no way we can eat all of this ourselves! We'll only throw them out!" Then, the time-honored dance begins. You pretend you simply can't take anything home. She promises it's no big deal and you'll be doing her a favor. You begrudgingly say, "Fine," but are secretly pumped because you have lunch all set for the next four days.
The bad news bringer
He just broke up with his girlfriend. Or he just got fired. Or his house just went into foreclosure. Or all three. This is the guy who puts on the brave face and stands in the kitchen, nursing a flat Diet Coke and talking to anyone who'll listen about his problems while other people uncomfortably mumble sympathy.
The kid
A kid's job is to run around and around, knock over the pate, rile up the dog, get sick by eating way too much cranberry sauce and have everyone politely smile while pretending to say she's adorable when she's more annoying than a guy stealing your parking spot at the mall on Black Friday.
The woman who brings the dish no one likes
It may not crawl, but it's gross. While everyone devours the homemade sweet potatoes and salivates over the 25-pound turkey, Aunt Muriel's "stuffing" gets touched about as much as a girl headed to the convent on prom night.

Reach out to get started on the your Milestones.
Dana, you're a smarty pants. Can I get'cha to be my financial pro?
You're sweet George, but you need someone licensed and trained. So do I.
Get a Financial Education
Before you start making decisions about your money—especially those that impact your family and future in major ways—it's important to have an education.
That's where HowMoneyWorks: Stop Being a Sucker comes into play.
Contact me to get a copy of the book.
After you've read the book, you can check this Milestone off. Woohoo!
My financial professional helped me with questions like, "How much do I need?" and "What kind should I get?"
Secure Proper Protection
After you've read the book, proper protection of your income should be the next Milestone to complete.
Why? Because financial hardship after the loss of a spouse or business partner can be hard to recover from. To protect your income for all those who depend on you, sit down with your financial professional ASAP to talk about life insurance.
Already have life insurance? When was the last time you had a review?

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.
With a few tips, I was surprised how quickly I was able to build up 3-6 months of income. So no excuses!
Create an Emergency Fund
Think about the three little pigs. One was ready for the unexpected. Two weren't.
To prepare for life's big bad wolves, it's important that you set up an emergency fund. It's a designated stash of cash at your fingertips to help you recover from unforeseen expenses so you won't derail your financial strategy or deplete your savings account.
Apply Debt Management
With financial protection in place and your emergency fund in the works, it's time to face your debt.
For many, it is THE greatest obstacle to a sound financial future and financial independence. Debt is a sweeping crisis perpetuated by a society of suckers led astray by the "instant gratification" desires of our generation.
That's a mouthful—but it's true.
I'm still in debt, but with accountability and a game plan, I'm heading in the right direction—and it feels great!
I increased my cash flow by selling my Fire-in-the-Hole chili in Hector's food trucks. Where there's a will to make more, there's a way.
Increase Cash Flow
Cash flow is the money you have available to spend or to save.
After you have established financial protection, an emergency fund, and a debt strategy, you're in a position to focus on your cash flow, which can help you eliminate debt and grow savings faster.
The key to cash flow is examining, managing, and reducing expenses.
Build Your Wealth
For many who have saved little to date, growing wealth may seem like pie in the sky. But it should be a commitment to get serious about as soon as possible.
Knuckle down with your financial professional to begin your asset accumulation strategy so you can build wealth for both quality and longevity of life.
Find out what your retirement numbers are—how much income you want to live on—and then set a goal and strategy to get there.
George's chili is kill'n it in my trucks, but you might not have a secret sauce to sell. That's OK! With the book and your financial professional, you will learn some amazing principles and strategies to save and grow your wealth.
I look at it like this: Some responsibilities are so important, you have to push pause on life for a moment and get it done.
Protect Wealth
Having an estate plan in place is critical to protecting your wealth, so your assets end up in the hands of your loved ones—not in the control of the court system.
Think it will be too expensive or time- consuming to get your estate plan done? Then you haven't considered the cost and time it could steal from your loved ones down the road if you don't.
There's no good reason to delay checking this final Milestone off the list. Do it immediately.

Postpartum: First 6 Weeks After Childbirth
Topic Overview
What is postpartum?
During the first weeks after giving birth, your body begins to heal and adjust to not being pregnant. This is called postpartum (or the postpartum period). Your body goes through many changes as you recover. These changes are different for every woman.
The first weeks after childbirth also are a time to bond with your baby and set up a routine for caring for your baby.
Your doctor will want to see you for a checkup 2 to 6 weeks after delivery. This is a good time to discuss any concerns, including birth control.
What happens to your body during the postpartum period?
You likely will feel sore for a few days and very tired for several weeks. It may take 4 to 6 weeks to feel like yourself again, and possibly longer if you had a cesarean (or C-section) birth.
Over the next few days and weeks, you may have some bleeding and afterpains as your uterus shrinks.
How can you care for yourself?
It is easy to get too tired and overwhelmed during the first weeks after childbirth. Take it easy on yourself.
- Try to sleep when your baby does.
- Ask another adult to be with you for a few days after delivery.
- Let family and friends bring you meals or do chores.
- Plan for child care if you have other children.
- Plan small trips to get out of the house. Change can make you feel less tired.
- Drink extra fluids if you are breastfeeding.
Your doctor will tell you how to care for your body as you recover. Your doctor will tell you when it's okay to exercise, have sex, and use tampons. He or she also will tell you how to manage pain and swelling while your body heals.
How does postpartum affect your emotions?
The first few weeks after your baby is born can be a time of excitement—and of being very tired. You may look at your wondrous little baby and feel happy. But at the same time, you may feel exhausted from a lack of sleep and your new responsibilities.
Many women get the "baby blues" during the first few days after childbirth. The "baby blues" usually peak around the fourth day and then ease up in less than 2 weeks. If you have the blues for more than a few days, or if you have thoughts of hurting yourself or your baby, call your doctor right away. You may have postpartum depression. This needs to be treated. Support groups and counseling can help. Sometimes medicine also can help.

What should you know about newborn care?
During your baby's first few weeks, you will spend most of your time feeding, diapering, and comforting your baby. You may feel overwhelmed at times. It's normal to wonder if you know what you are doing, especially if this is your first child. Newborn care gets easier with every day. Soon you may get to know what each cry means and be able to figure out what your baby needs and wants.
At first, babies often sleep during the day and are awake at night. They don't have a pattern or routine. They may make sudden gasps, jerk themselves awake, or look like they have crossed eyes. These are all normal, and they may even make you smile.
You naturally develop an emotional bond with your baby simply by spending time together, being physically close, and responding to his or her cues.

Recovery At Home
During the days and weeks after the delivery of your baby (postpartum period), your body will change as it returns to its nonpregnant condition. As with pregnancy changes, postpartum changes are different for every woman.
Physical changes after childbirth
The changes in your body may include sore muscles and bleeding.
- Contractions calledafterpains shrink the uterus for several days after childbirth. Shrinking of the uterus to its prepregnancy size may take 6 to 8 weeks.
- Sore muscles (especially in the arms, neck, or jaw) are common after childbirth. This is because of the hard work of labor. The soreness should go away in a few days.
- Bleeding and vaginal discharge (lochia) may last for 2 to 4 weeks and can come and go for about 2 months.
- Vaginal soreness, including pain, discomfort, and numbness, is common after vaginal birth. Soreness may be worse if you had a perineal tear or episiotomy.
- If you had a cesarean (C-section), you may have pain in your lower belly and may need pain medicine for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Breast engorgementis common between the third and fourth days after delivery, when the breasts begin to fill with milk. This can cause discomfort and swelling. Placing ice packs on your breasts, taking a hot shower, or using warm compresses may relieve the discomfort. For more information, see the topic Breast Engorgement.
Call your doctor if you are concerned about any of your symptoms. For more information, see When to Call a Doctor.
Care after vaginal birth
Most women need some time after delivery to return to their normal activities. It's important to focus on your healing and on taking care of your body after delivery.
- Use pads instead of tampons for the bloody flow that may last as long as 2 weeks.
- Ease cramps or afterpains with ibuprofen (such as Advil). If the doctor gave you a prescription medicine for pain, take it as prescribed.
- If you have swelling or pain around the opening of your vagina, try using ice. You can put ice or a cold pack on the area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
- Cleanse yourself with a gentle squeeze of warm water from a bottle instead of wiping with toilet paper.
- Try sitting in a few inches of warm water (sitz bath) 3 times a day and after bowel movements.
- Ease the soreness of hemorrhoids and the area between your vagina and rectum with ice compresses or witch hazel pads.
- Ease constipation by drinking lots of fluid and eating high-fiber foods. Ask your doctor about over-the-counter stool softeners.
What to avoid
Give your body a chance to heal. Wait to start certain activities.
- Wait until you are healed (about 4 to 6 weeks) before you have sexual intercourse. Your doctor will tell you when it is okay to have sex.
- Try not to travel with your baby for 5 or 6 weeks. If you take a long car trip, make frequent stops to walk around and stretch.
- Do not rinse inside your vagina with fluids (douche).
Care after a C-section
If you had a C-section, you will need to take it easy while the incision heals.
- Avoid strenuous activities, such as bicycle riding, jogging, weight lifting, and aerobic exercise, for 6 weeks or until your doctor says it is okay.
- Until your doctor says it is okay, don't lift anything heavier than your baby.
- You may have some vaginal bleeding. Wear pads. Do not use tampons until your doctor says it is okay.
- Hold a pillow over your incision when you cough or take deep breaths. This will support your belly and decrease your pain.
- You may shower as usual. Pat the incision dry when you are done.
For more information, see the topic Cesarean Section.
Coping With Emotions
Having a new baby is exciting. But it also can be exhausting and stressful. It's common to feel a range of emotions at this time.
Tips for coping during the postpartum period include accepting help from others, eating well and drinking plenty of fluids, getting rest whenever you can, limiting visitors, getting some time to yourself, and seeking the company of other women who have new babies.
Expect changes in your relationship
If you have a partner and this is your first baby, your focus may have shifted from being part of a couple to being parents. That's a common—and wonderful—change. But it can take some time to adjust. You and your partner may not have as much time or energy for each other for a while. But you also will get to know each other in new ways, as parents.
It is common to have little interest in sex for a while after childbirth. During the time when your body is recovering and your baby has many needs, you and your partner will need to be patient with one another. Talking together is a good way to deal with the changes in your sexuality after childbirth.
Watch out for depression
"Baby blues" are common for the first 1 to 2 weeks after birth. You may cry or feel sad or irritable for no reason. If your symptoms last for more than a few weeks, or if you feel very depressed, ask your doctor for help. You may have postpartum depression. It can be treated. Support groups and counseling can help. Sometimes medicine can also help. For more information, see the topic Postpartum Depression.
Get support from others
If you're feeling tired or overwhelmed, talk to your partner, friends, and family about your feelings. You also might want to:
- Go for walks with your baby.
- Find a class for new mothers and new babies that has an exercise time.
- Try yoga, meditation, massage, or other ways to cope with stress. For more information, see the topic Stress Management.
Common Problems
Some women have problems—such as constipation, hemorrhoids, and sore breasts—that last for a while after childbirth. Many minor postpartum problems can be managed at home. If you develop problems and your doctor has given you specific instructions to follow, be sure to follow those instructions.
Constipation and hemorrhoids
Home treatment measures are usually all that is needed to relieve mild discomfort from hemorrhoids or constipation.
To prevent or ease symptoms of constipation:
- Eat a high-fiber diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and fruit juices.
- Try a stool softener, such as Colace.
- Do not strain (push hard) during a bowel movement.
- Get more exercise, such as walking, every day.
To treat the itching or pain of hemorrhoids:
- Keep the anus clean by wiping carefully after each bowel movement. Gently wipe from the front to the back. Baby wipes or hemorrhoid pads are usually more gentle than toilet paper. If you use toilet paper, use only soft, undyed, unscented toilet paper.
- Take warm soaks in a tub or a sitz bath. Warm water can help shrink or soothe hemorrhoids. Add baking soda to the water to relieve itching.
- Use cold packs. You can put ice or a cold pack on the area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
- Do not sit for long periods, especially on hard chairs.
- Drink plenty of fluids and use stool softeners, if needed. Don't strain (push hard) during a bowel movement.
Vaginal and perineal problems
Soreness in the vagina and the area between it and the anus (perineum) is common after delivery. You can ease the pain with home treatment. To reduce pain and heal:
- Try using ice. You can put ice or a cold pack on the area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
- Cleanse yourself with a gentle squeeze of warm water from a bottle instead of wiping with toilet paper.
- Try sitting in a few inches of warm water (sitz bath) 3 times a day and after bowel movements.
Recovery from an episiotomy or perineal tear can take several weeks.
Pelvic bone problems
Recovery from pelvic bone problems, such as separated pubic bones or a fractured tailbone (coccyx), can take several months. Treatment includes ice, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and sometimes physical therapy.
Breast problems
Breast engorgementis common between the third and fourth days after delivery, when the breasts begin to fill with milk. This can cause breast discomfort and swelling. Placing ice packs on your breasts, taking a hot shower, or using warm compresses may relieve the discomfort. If you aren't breastfeeding, use ice rather than heat for breast soreness. For more information, see the topic Breast Engorgement.
For breast problems related to breastfeeding, see the topic Breastfeeding.
Postpartum Checkup
Your doctor will want to see you for a checkup 2 to 6 weeks after delivery. This visit allows for your doctor or midwife to check on your recovery from childbirth and see how you are doing emotionally. You may have a pelvic exam to make sure that you are healing well. If you had a C-section, your doctor will check your incision.
Your doctor or midwife will talk with you about birth control and find out how you're doing with breastfeeding. He or she also will ask about your moods and check you for signs of postpartum depression.
This visit is also a good time to talk to your doctor about anything you are concerned or curious about.
- Keep a list of questions to bring to your postpartum visit. Your questions might be about:
- Changes in your breasts, such as lumps or soreness.
- When to expect your menstrual period to start again.
- What form of birth control is best for you.
- Weight you have put on during the pregnancy.
- Exercise options.
- What foods and drinks are best for you, especially if you are breastfeeding.
- Problems you might be having with breastfeeding.
- When you can have sex. Some women may want to talk about lubricants for the vagina.
- Any feelings of sadness or restlessness that you are having.
Health and Nutrition
It is easy to get too tired and overwhelmed during the first weeks after childbirth. Take it easy on yourself. Get rest whenever you can, accept help from others, and eat well and drink plenty of fluids.
Getting rest
Like pregnancy, the newborn period can be a time of excitement, joy, and exhaustion. You may look at your wondrous little baby and feel happy. You may also be overwhelmed by your new sleep hours and new responsibilities. Make time to rest.
- Rest every day. Try to nap when your baby naps. Stay flexible so you can eat at odd hours and sleep when you need to.
- Ask another adult to be with you for a few days after delivery.
- Plan for child care if you have other children.
- Plan small trips to get out of the house. Change can make you feel less tired.
- Ask for help with housework, cooking, and shopping. Remind yourself that your job is to care for your baby.
Sexuality, fertility, and birth control
Your body needs time to heal after childbirth. This can take about 4 to 6 weeks, but it's different for each woman. Avoid sexual intercourse and putting anything in your vagina (including tampons) until you have stopped bleeding. Your doctor will let you when it's okay to have intercourse.
Your menstrual cycle—and your ability to become pregnant again—will return at your body's own pace. Remember that you can ovulate and get pregnant during the month before your first menstrual period, as early as 3 weeks after childbirth. If you don't want to become pregnant right away, use birth control even if you are breastfeeding.
- If you don't breastfeed, your menstrual periods may begin within a month or two after delivery.
- If you breastfeed full-time, your periods will probably not resume for a few months. The average among women who breastfeed exclusively is 8 months. But breastfeeding is not a dependable method of birth control. For more information, see Breastfeeding as Birth Control.
Most methods of birth control are safe and effective after delivery. But in the first couple of weeks after delivery, it's best to use a method that doesn't contain estrogen. Talk to your doctor about which type is best for you. For more information, see the topic Birth Control.
Healthy eating
Eating a variety of healthy food is important to help you keep your energy and lose extra weight you gained during your pregnancy.
- Eat a variety of foods to help you get all the nutrients you need. Your body needs protein, carbohydrate, and fats for energy.
- Eat a diet high in fiber. Include foods such as whole-grain breads and cereals, raw vegetables, raw and dried fruits, and beans.
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially water.
- Eat small snacks throughout the day to keep up your energy. Don't skip meals or go for long periods without eating.
- If you're breastfeeding, a healthy diet is good for your overall health. For more information, see Nutrition While Breastfeeding.
- If you breastfeed, avoid alcohol and drugs. If you quit smoking during pregnancy, try to stay smoke-free.footnote 1
For more information on eating well, see the topic Healthy Eating.
Exercise helps you feel good and helps your body get back to its prepregnancy shape. In general, you can start exercising 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. But check with your doctor before you start exercising, especially if you had a cesarean birth (C-section).
- Start daily exercise after 4 to 6 weeks, but rest when you feel tired.
- Try to exercise regularly. Get outside, take walks, or keep your blood moving with your favorite workout.
- Learn exercises to tone your belly.
- Do Kegel exercises to regain strength in your pelvic muscles. You can do these exercises while you stand or sit.
Newborn Basics
During your baby's first few weeks, you will spend most of your time feeding, diapering, and comforting your baby. You may feel overwhelmed at times. It is normal to wonder if you know what you're doing, especially if this is your first child. Newborn care gets easier with every day. You may get to know what each cry means and be able to figure out what your baby needs and wants.
Breastfeeding is a learned skill—you will get better at it with practice. You may have times when breastfeeding is hard. The first two weeks are the hardest for many women. But don't give up. You can work through most problems. Doctors, nurses, and lactation specialists can all help. So can friends, family, and breastfeeding support groups.
Some women choose to feed their babies using formula. While breast milk is the ideal food for babies, your baby can get good nutrition from formula.
For more information, see the topics Breastfeeding and Bottle-Feeding.
Most babies sleep for a total of 18 hours each day. They wake for a short time at least every 2 to 3 hours. Always put your baby to sleep on his or her back, not the stomach. This lowers the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
For more information on sleeping, diapering, and other areas of newborn care, see the topic Growth and Development, Newborn.

Vet recommends medical marijuana for pets in pain
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Until she introduced "magic cheese" to her sick and aging bulldog, Laura Bugni-Daniel watched him suffer for two years. He'd spend his days lying down or throwing up.
Today, at age 12, he plays like a puppy through the day, his fur is soft and he sleeps at night, soothed not by magic, but by the dose of marijuana in that cheese.
Bugni-Daniel is part of a growing movement to give medical marijuana to pets in pain. Many urge caution until there's better science behind it. But stories abound about changes in sick and dying pets after they've been given cannabis — even though it isn't a proven pain killer for man or mutt, and it's an illicit drug under federal law despite being legal for people in 19 states and the District of Columbia.
Leading the charge is Los Angeles veterinarian Doug Kramer, 36, known as the "Vet Guru," who felt it was his duty to speak out while he has no family that would feel a verbal or financial backlash.
"I grew tired of euthanizing pets when I wasn't doing everything I could to make their lives better," he said. "I felt like I was letting them down."
Pot eased his Siberian husky's pain during her final weeks, after she had surgery to remove tumors. Not only did Nikita stop whimpering while using cannabis, but she started eating, gaining weight and meeting him at the door again.
It gave him six extra weeks with his dog before he had to euthanize her, he says. It wasn't a cure, but he thinks it freed her of pain and improved her last days.
Some other vets contacted said they share Kramer's view on pot, but they wouldn't talk on the record for fear of arrest or retaliation.
Kramer hasn't lost any clients over his view, but he was asked not to return to some of the clinics where he volunteered or relieved other vets because of concerns over the negative image his advocacy creates, he said.
Dr. Duncan Lascelles, a professor of surgery and pain management at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, thought about studying marijuana a decade ago. He didn't, not for lack of interest, but because the timing was wrong.
"I have been considering looking at that field again because I think it does have a lot of potential," he said.
He also figures those all-important grants needed for research will be available now.
Testing could take 10 years or more to be sure a pain killer will be effective and free of side effects, Lascelles said.
Kramer said it's unconscionable to let a decade pass, when millions of pets will die of illness and old age.
Vets who want traditional testing point to a study by two Colorado animal hospitals that compared the number of dogs treated for what appeared to be accidental marijuana overdoses between 2005 and 2010 with increases in the number of marijuana licenses issued. As registrations increased 146-fold, the number of sickened pets went up four-fold.
"Sometimes public sentiment and activity gets ahead of the scientific background and that can be dangerous," said Barry Kellogg, senior veterinary adviser to the Humane Society of the United States.
While two dogs with pot in their system died in the Colorado survey, hallucinogenic reactions may make dogs wobbly on their legs, raise their pulse and cause dribbly urine, said Dr. Karl Jandrey, an emergency and critical care vet at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at the University of California, Davis.
But pot clinic managers say that a proper dose of the drug will prevent a bad reaction.
Jessica LeRoux of Twirling Hippy Confections in Denver made custom treats that helped extend the life of her last service dog, a black Lab-border collie mix named Thor.
"I got the 15th year out of that relationship because of the product I made for him," she said.
Old or ailing pets who take cannabis usually experience an immediate boost in appetite and relief from pain. That lets them get around, relieve themselves without help, sleep better and enjoy their families until age or disease catches up, LeRoux said in explaining how the cannabis helps pets.
At La Brea Compassionate Caregivers in Los Angeles, manager Megan Hanley recommends a drop of liquid marijuana extract marketed as Companion Cannabis for every 10 pounds of dog. It can be spread on cheese or bread.
"It's a revolutionary product and response to it has been tremendous in the last year," she said.
Bugni-Daniel, in Divide, Mont., is allowed to have four marijuana plants under state law for her medical needs. She turns that into extract for her and Rabito.
Marijuana has been like the fountain of youth for the American bulldog.
"It's really nice to see your sick pet, for his last moments or weeks or months, be happy and not real sick and dealing with needles and surgery," Bugni-Daniel said.

Control Your Spending: The Smart Money's on Prepaid Debit Cards.
If Hurricane Sandy taught us anything, it's this: Almost anyone can suddenly wind up living like a caveman for days or weeks on end. Geography didn't matter. (Huge swaths of New York City, not normally associated with ferocious weather systems, lost power, heat and hot water.) Neither did social status. (Homes of the rich and poor along the Eastern seaboard were equally devastated.) Here are some lessons learned from the superstorm to help you from becoming a future statistic.
Generators alone don't cut it. Websites like Ready.gov advise people to "install a generator for emergencies." Rarely mentioned, though, is that as good as they are at keeping you powered, unless you've also got a carbon monoxide detector — which costs all of $20 or so — you risk being slowly poisoned by fumes spewed by generators in too-tight quarters. At least nine fatalities were linked to that one omission alone, and Dr. Robert Glatter, a physician at Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital, called it "a major concern of public health officials after the storm."
The Smart Money's on Prepaid Debit Cards.
Cash is still king. Guess what those who routinely pay by credit or debit cards discovered also doesn't work during power outages? ATM machines. And since many stores could only accept real money, it fell to those like the Hoboken, N.J., woman who'd kept a "$100 emergency bill in a safe at home" to bail out neighbors.
Fortify your roof. Roofs suffered some of the biggest casualties from the ferocious winds. While there's nothing you can do to prevent trees from smashing through them, other homeowners might've gotten off more easily had they heeded the advice of Jason Joplin, program manager of the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence: "Always install a drip edge to prevent wind-driven rain from entering the roof fascia and deck." And he notes that the line of pre-cut Starter Strip Shingles from GAF (www.gaf.com), North America's largest roofing manufacturer, includes the industry's "strongest and most properly positioned adhesive to help prevent blow-off."
Avoid your basement. Not only did many drown there in the storm surge, but the death of hero cop Artur Kasprzak should be a real wake-up call: After rescuing seven other relatives, the 28-year-old was electrocuted by a live wire when he raced down into the family's flooded Staten Island basement in search of his father. "People don't think this could happen, but it did," said his sister. Finally, a survivalist blogger had this alternative for those who refused to evacuate to protect against looters: "Hang a glow-stick somewhere near the window," and leave.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phil Mickelson birdied the ninth hole a day too late and missed a chance to break the PGA Tour's 36-hole scoring record when he finished with a double bogey after driving into the water.
Mickelson followed his opening 60 with a 65 on Friday in the Phoenix Open to reach 17-under 125, a stroke off the tour record for the first two rounds of a tournament set by Pat Perez in the 2009 Bob Hope Classic and matched by David Toms at Colonial in 2011.
"Unfortunately, I made a double on the last hole and didn't finish the way I wanted to," Mickelson said. "But I think it's a good example of what can happen on this course. You can make a lot of birdies and eagles, make up a lot of ground, but there's a lot of water and trouble there that if you misstep you can easily make bogeys and double."
He still tied the Phoenix Open record set by Mark Calcavecchia in 2001, but history slipped through his hands for the second straight day on the last hole.
On Thursday, Mickelson had a 25-foot birdie putt for a 59 on No. 9 that caught the right edge, curled 180 degrees and stayed out. A day later with little at stake on the par-4 hole, he hit to 4 feet and rolled the downhill putt into the center of the cup.
"You always remember kind of the last hole, the last putt," Mickelson said. "But I think it's very possible that's going to help me because it's got me refocused, that I cannot ease up on a single shot. I've got to be really focused. These guys are going to make a lot of birdies and I've got to get after it and cannot make those kinds of mistakes."
Mickelson parred the first six holes, and played the next 11 in 8 under before making a mess of the par-4 18th. His drive bounced into the left-side water hazard and, after a penalty drop, he hit an approach that landed on the green and rolled off the front edge. His chip ran 7 feet past and his bogey putt slid by to the left.
"I hit a good shot, I thought," Mickelson said. "I tried to start it right down the middle and hold it into the wind. It just leaked a little bit left. I still thought it was up. ... Then I hit a poor wedge from there. But the tee shot I didn't think was going to be in the water at any point."
The double bogey left him four strokes ahead of Bill Haas and five in front of Keegan Bradley and Brandt Snedeker. Haas shot 64, Bradley 63, and Snedeker 66.
Mickelson will play alongside Haas and Bradley in the third round.
"Bill and I have played on a Presidents Cup team, and Keegan and I have been partners in the Ryder Cup and had an incredibly emotional and fun experience together as partners," Mickelson said. "We're going to have a fun day tomorrow."
Mickelson was cruising before the lapse on 18.
The 42-year-old former Arizona State star, who won at TPC Scottsdale in 1996 and 2005, overpowered the par-5 15th for an eagle, hitting to 4 feet after a 358-yard drive.
"I felt really comfortable on the tee box, so I kind of let one go and caught a hold of it and ended up having 191 to the pin," Mickelson said. "It was only 186 to the front, and I hit a hard 8-iron. There was a little bit of helping wind."
After a par on the par-3 16th that drew boos from the rowdy fans on the stadium hole when his tee shot trickled into the fringe, he drove the green on the 344-yard 17th and two-putted from 70 feet — leaving his eagle try a foot short — for birdie.
Bradley also eagled the 15th, hitting a 350-yard drive and a 7-iron approach to 8 feet.
"I just smashed a driver down there," Bradley said. "I had been hitting 3-wood and I'm driving the ball so well that I just decided to rip driver down there."
He birdied the 16th, hitting to 5 feet.
"It reminds me of when I go to Fenway Park," Bradley said. "There's always like a murmur. ... It's really cool. I dig it. I wish there was more holes like that out here."
He birdied Nos. 5-8 on his back nine, holing putts of 10 15, 20 and 8 feet.
"It was such a relief to shoot a good number," Bradley said. "I've been playing so well this whole year and haven't made many putts. Today, the putts started to go in."
Haas also began play on No. 10 and made the turn at 6-under 30.
"We all know the way the course is playing, if there's no wind on the weekend, you've just got to keep making birdies," Haas said.
Last year in the Northern Trust Open at Riviera, Haas beat Mickelson and Bradley with a 45-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff.
"It's just another day. It's moving day," Haas said. "Hopefully, I can move up the leaderboard and he (Mickelson) doesn't go too crazy."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Taxpayers preparing to file their 2012 returns can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
The alternative minimum tax or AMT has been patched — permanently — and several tax credits and deductions that technically expired at the end of 2011 were extended as part of the fiscal cliff legislation that Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed into law in January.
"It certainly puts back into place many of the tax benefits that had expired for many people," said Mark Steber, chief tax officer with Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. "The extenders will be back on people's tax returns, making their 2012 refunds larger than they would have been."
But the delay in congressional action could mean confusion for some taxpayers over what credits and deductions still exist.
That could make going it alone on tax day costly. Experts say people should seek some guidance, whether it's from a professional tax preparer, up-to-date software programs or tax guides, before filing returns.
More than 90 percent of taxpayers go to a tax preparer or use tax software to file their returns, estimated Jim Buttonow, a 20-year IRS veteran who is now vice president of products for New River Innovation, a tax technology company.
The Internal Revenue Service will begin accepting returns Jan. 30, an eight-day delay necessitated by the late congressional action.
"We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible," IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said in a statement. "This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems."
The agency said most taxpayers — more than 120 million households — would be able to begin filing Jan. 30. But filing for those claiming energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits will be delayed until late February or March.
Last year, the agency received 137 million returns.
Electronic filing increased by 6.2 percent to 113 million in 2012, an upward trend that tax experts expect to continue. Although most electronically filed returns are by tax professionals, increasing percentages of individuals are doing their own returns electronically.
Nearly 104 million people received refunds last year totaling about $283 billion. The average refund was $2,707, slightly less than the year before, according to the IRS.
As people sit down to do their taxes this year, they'll find that the standard deduction has been adjusted higher for inflation, to $11,900 for married couples filing jointly, $8,700 for heads of households and $5,950 for single taxpayers.
About two-thirds of taxpayers claim the standard deduction, according to Barbara Weltman, an author of J.K. Lasser's Tax Guide 2013.
Each exemption is worth $3,800 this year, up from $3,700 in 2011. Look expansively at dependents beyond your children under 19, or 24 if in college. For example, if you're paying more than half the support for your parents and their taxable income is less than the $3,800 exemption, you might be able to claim them as dependents even if they're not living in your own home.
"When we say income over the exemption amount, we mean taxable income," said Jackie Perlman, principal tax research analyst with H&R Block's Tax Institute. "If a parent's only income is Social Security, chances are little or none of the Social Security will be taxable. Otherwise, very few people would get to claim a parent."
Single taxpayers with qualified children or relatives as dependents also may be able to use head of household filing status, which is more advantageous to the taxpayer.
There also are higher mileage rate deductions — 55.5 cents per mile if you use your car for business, 23 cents per mile for moving or medical issues and 14 cents a mile for charity.
Capital gains rates are unchanged from 2011 — a maximum of 15 percent for assets held more than a year.
And don't forget planning for retirement. You can contribute up to $5,000 to a traditional individual retirement account — $6,000 for people age 50 and older — and reduce their income by that amount. If you haven't made a contribution yet, there's still time. You have until April 15, the tax filing deadline.
Be aware, however. Many deductions and credits phase out at higher incomes.
Dozens of credits and deductions that impact 2012 taxes had been due to expire at the end of 2011, but were extended as part of the legislation that restored the Bush tax cuts for most taxpayers.
The measure breathed new life into deductions for state and local sales taxes and an array of education-related credits and deductions. Not to mention the lack of an AMT patch.
"There was broad bipartisan agreement it had to be fixed," Steber said.
Originally set up to make sure millionaires were paying taxes, increasing numbers of middle-class taxpayers are now being caught up in the AMT. The tax has been adjusted for inflation every year, but the last patch expired at the end of 2011. Without a new one, Miller said in a letter to Congress last fall, about 33 million taxpayers would have to pay the AMT in 2012, up from about 4 million in 2011.
Congress, as part of the fiscal cliff bill, passed a permanent fix for the AMT. Going forward, it will be indexed according to inflation.
For 2012, the AMT exemption is $50,600 for unmarried individuals and $78,750 for joint filers.
"It's just not that they passed the threshold amount and indexed it for inflation," said Kathy Pickering, executive director of H&R Block's Tax institute. "The other nugget in there is that the nonrefundable credits are allowed."
That means filers subject to the AMT may still be able to use these credits, as long as their income doesn't exceed the phaseout limits.
The fiscal cliff bill signed by Obama also extends the $1,000 per child tax credit, the expanded earned income tax credit and the credit for adopting a child.
Several education-related credits and deductions also were extended in the legislation.
The American Opportunity Tax Credit can be worth up to $2,500 for college tuition. The credit, which can be claimed for each of the first four years of college, was extended through 2017. Elementary and secondary school teachers will still be able to deduct up to $250 of their out-of-pocket expenses for the classroom.
And taxpayers will have the choice of deducting state and local sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes. This is especially important to residents of states like Florida, which doesn't have an income tax.
Knowing what tax credits and benefits you're eligible for is key. No one wants to pay more than is required in taxes.
"You certainly want to understand the tax law," Steber said. "Look to life changes" like retirement, losing a job, getting married, having a child or an elderly parent moving in.
For people in the Northeast, Superstorm Sandy certainly was a life-changing event. State officials have estimated the total damage at more than $80 billion, most of it in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Tax law allows victims in federally declared disaster areas to file casualty claims in the year the incident happened or file an amended return for the previous year.
If they don't have all the material they need yet to file 2012 returns, they can amend their 2011 return now to include the casualty losses.
"It's one of the unique things about those disaster areas," Pickering said.
That's just one of the reasons people file amended returns.
Amended returns are often filed when taxpayers discover discrepancies in the income that was reported. Sometimes they receive a 1099 form late or a corrected one after they filed their returns. Or they may discover that they didn't take a deduction or credit to which they were entitled.
Some people are reluctant to file amended returns out of fear that they might be audited.
Mark Luscombe, principal tax analyst for CCH, said the IRS closely guards statistics on what type of returns invite audits.
"An amended return would not necessarily be an invitation for an audit," he said.
"It depends what's contained in there," said Greg Rosica, a partner at Ernst & Young. "If it's a very large refund it could get a different level of review."

The June 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Dawn of "Doable and Delicious" who challenged the Daring Bakers' to make "Chocolate Pavlovas" and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book "Chocolate Epiphany" by Francois Payard.
Although I am generally prone to be a little stressed and psyched out by the things we have to bake, this challenge didn't make me panicky. On the contrary, I felt comfortable with it and totally confident when it came to executing the recipe given. The reason for my unusual confidence is that I have made meringue, chocolate mousse, crème anglaise and mascarpone more than once and I felt totally at ease with the process of making all the components of the "Chocolate Pavlovas". No big deal!
As a matter of fact, my "Chocolate Pavlovas" were made in a very relaxed atmosphere. The meringue shells were baked in whiz a few days before I prepared the rest of the elements composing this dessert. Then, on Friday, while listening to my favorite music I very cooly got the challenge finished...
I didn't change much to the original recipe. Instead of flavoring the chocolate mousse with lemon zest and nutmeg, I decided to add some ground tonka (bean) instead and as I had no Sambucca for the crème anglaise, I replaced it with good ol' Whisky.
Those "Chocolate Pavlovas" looked very cute and tasted just exquisite. Contrarily to what I believed at first they were really not too sweet and absolutely not cloying. In fact, this dessert is really refined. The meringue shells have a exhaliratingly deep taste of cocoa, the chocolate mousse is not sugary at all, light, smooth, delicate lusciously chocolaty, and the crème anglaise gives just the right flavor contrast with it's voluptuous aromas of vanilla and whisky. Just splendid.
I wish to thanks Dawn for having chosen that divine. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
~ Chocolate Pavlovas ~
Recipe from Francois Payard's "Chocolate Epiphany".
Preparation time:
The recipe can be made in one day although there are several steps involved.
While the pavlovas are baking, the crème anglaise should be made which will take about 15 minutes.
While it is cooling, the chocolate mascarpone mousse can be made which will take about 15 minutes.
There will be a bit of a wait time for the mascarpone cream because of the cooling time for the Crème Anglaise.
If you make the Crème Anglaise the day before, the dessert should take about 2 hours including cooking time for the pavlovas.
Equipment required:
• Baking sheet(s) with parchment or silpat
• Several bowls
• Piping bag with pastry tip
• Hand or stand mixer
3 Large egg whites
1/2 Cup plus 1 Tbs (110g) White granulated sugar
1/4 Cup (30g) Confectioner's (icing) sugar
1/3 Cup (30g) Cocoa powder
1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 200º F (95º C) degrees.
2. Line two baking sheets with silpat or parchment and set aside.
3. Put the egg whites in a bowl and whip until soft peaks form.
4. Increase speed to high and gradually add granulated sugar about 1 tbsp at a time until stiff peaks form. (The whites should be firm but moist.)
5. Sift the confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder over the egg whites and fold the dry ingredients into the white. (This looks like it will not happen. Fold gently and it will eventually come together.)
6. Fill a pastry bag with the meringue. Pipe the meringue into whatever shapes you desire. Alternatively, you could just free form your shapes and level them a bit with the back of a spoon. (Class made rounds, hearts, diamonds and an attempt at a clover was made!)
7. Bake for 2-3 hours until the meringues become dry and crisp.
8. Cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
1 1/2 Cups (355ml) Heavy cream (cream with a milk fat content of between 36 and 40 %)
9 Ounces (255g) 72% Chocolate, chopped
1 2/3 Cups (390ml) Mascarpone (homemade version here)
1/3 Tsp Ground tonka bean
1. Put 1/2 cup (120 mls) of the heavy cream and the ground tonka bean in a saucepan over medium high heat.
2. Once warm, add the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.
3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let sit at room temperature until cool.
4. Place the mascarpone and the remaining cup of cream in a bowl.
5. Whip on low for a minute until the mascarpone is loose, then whip on medium speed until it holds soft peaks. (DO NOT OVERBEAT AS THE MASCARPONE WILL BREAK.)
6. Mix about 1/4 of the mascarpone mixture into the chocolate to lighten.
7. Fold in the remaining mascarpone until well incorporated.
8. Fill a pastry bag with the mousse. ( Again, you could just free form mousse on top of the pavlova.)
1 Recipe Crème anglaise (see recipe below)
1/2 Cup (120ml) Mascarpone (homemade version here)
2 Tbs (30ml) Whisky
1/2 Cup (120ml) Heavy cream
1. Prepare the crème anglaise.
2. Slowly whisk in the mascarpone and the Whisky and let the mixture cool.
3. Put the cream in a bowl and beat with electric mixer until very soft peaks are formed.
4. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture.
1 Cup (235ml) Whole milk
1 Cup (235ml) Heavy cream
1 Vanilla bean, split or 1 Tsp Pure vanilla extract
6 Large egg yolks
6 Tbs (75 g) Sugar
1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture turns pale yellow.
2. Combine the milk, cream and vanilla in a saucepan over medium high heat, bringing the mixture to a boil. Take off the heat.
3. Pour about 1/2 cup of the hot liquid into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to keep from making scrambled eggs.
4. Pour the yolk mixture into the pan with the remaining cream mixture and put the heat back on medium.
5. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens enough to lightly coat the back of a wooden spoon. (DO NOT OVERCOOK.)
6. Remove the mixture from the heat and strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
7. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours or overnight.
Pipe the mousse onto the pavlovas and drizzle with the mascarpone cream over the top.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and fresh fruit if desired.
