A fine day in Lassen Park. Watched a glider pilot launch off the top. This whole area is a day hiking paradise. | ||

An easy hike with great summit views. Loved the park and will definitely return. Saw one guy who carried his kid all the way to the summit. If only I could find someone to do that... | ||

I know Mt. Lassen is considered nontechnical and doesn't come close to stacking up to peaks like Shasta or Rainier, but it's a fun trip anyway. I try to do a climb of Lassen at least once a year. It is such a great mountain in a magnificent national park. One incredible view north to Shasta and out to the Sacramento Valley from the top. I never get tired of it. | ||

Brian Jenkins | Route Climbed: Lassen Trail Date Climbed: August 8, 2003 | |
What is arguably the easiest big Cascade peak to summit was a really trying time for me. Coming off a badly sprained ankle, I did this hike with my friend, Brian, for the first of this years' annual hiking trip. I suffered through the climb and was really in pain with a re-swollen ankle at the top. Coming down was twice as worse and long. What should have been about a 2 hour round trip turned into 6 for me as an 80 year old woman called Granny passed by me as well as young children. Oh yeah, I did this one in style! Then, afterwards, all the campgrounds were full so we ended up sleeping in the car at a rest stop somewhere east of Susanville on our way to Yosemite. Moral to the story, let your injuries heal! | ||

Having 2 weeks in Sacramento, headed up to Lassen on the weekend. Had some fresh snow and hale up there. The great peak and my first meting with the volcanoes. The whole area is very beatiful and it must a great place to go in winter. | ||

winzeler | Route Climbed: South Face Date Climbed: June 21, 2003 | |
Late season snow dumped in March according to the ranger station. This resulted in 30 foot snow drifts and bulldozers in the parking area, in June! It appeared as if the entire parking lot was not cleared. We ascended the snowfield straight up until we found the Lassen Peak Trail on the ridge. I hiked the switchbacks until the snow looked too inviting, so I cut right and straight up the mountain. There was so much snow that I only touch scree once and actually had to kick steps in my hiking shoes. I crossed the summit snowfield running... (big mistake) and then tooked minutes to catch my breath. I did not see the trail to the summit pinnacle to the left so I ascended the rocks to the right, scrambling up the south west side of the summit. Descending was a blast with my poles as I when straight down the snow until I linked up with the trail 2/3 down. | ||

Vertigo soul | Route Climbed: South Face Date Climbed: August 18, 1997 | |
Its been a LONG time since I did this hike, but I need to keep track of everything for my profile I guess. I climbed the standard South Face and SE Ridge trail, which is a easy walk up. I was there for four days as part of a class to satisy my last couple of credits for the University of Nevada, Reno before graduating. It was well worth it, and I still can't believe I was given college credits for hiking around such a beautiful park. We also climbed the Cinder Cone located just Southwest of Lassen and hiked around some of the lava caves in the park. The only thing that I might have changed was not taking my girlfriend, at that time, or at least one that could enjoy the outdoors versus complaining about it! Whatever! | ||

I'm trying to figure out if I liked The Proposal more when it was called What Happens in Vegas or when it was called The Wedding Date or when it was called Green Card.
Come to think of it, I'm trying to decide if I like this story better when Sandra Bullock plays the demanding boss, as she does here, or when she plays the put upon assistant, as she did in Two Weeks Notice.
You get the point. Been there, done that with this rom-com formula: Bullock's Margaret Tate is a humorless book editor who has her staff jump through hoops, no more so than her dutiful personal assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds). Andrew is tethered to Margaret because he wants to become an editor himself, and she's his ticket to a promotion. So when Margaret demands that Andrew marry her (she's been threatened with deportation), he reluctantly agrees.
Of course, there's a suspicious INS agent, forcing Andrew and Margaret to take a trip to Andrew's hometown of Alaska for the 90th birthday of his "Gammie" (a...

Congratulations to OSD, hopefully the Board will be ademate with their administrators to stay on task and within budget for this extensive project. The Board can accomplish this with the help of active community members who attend public meetings and try to keep certain administrators true to their word (NOT an easy feat).Let's keep our fingers crossed that for once certain OSD administrators will not go behind the back of the Trustees and the public and actually accomplish this project without under the table handshakes that have been going on for the past couple of years. Stick to your project goals, timelines, and puclic school construction codes. Remember those famous words "We are here for the children of this community" NOW stick to it!

I've heard all these songs before, though I didn't recognize them by name. Nothing I'm scrambling for, so I'll pass this week.

AsianSteev: if you can read this, put more Ska songs on the RBN! Please?
Gamertag: Demitri Theodus
If you don't mind a trip to new orleans you can feel free to jam with me. I can only offer to pay for the liquor though. Trip charge on you.
As for these songs, I know angels(it's decent enough), and I probably know remedy though I can't hear it. Don't know the last one I think, but black crowes is a decent band.
So for me it could have been better, or it could have been far worse.

I saw The Black Crowes OPEN for Junkyard at a pay to play club (The Omni) right before they broke big on MTV. The Omni was one of those clubs that would let total unknown bands play, if they bought enough tickets to buy their way on stage, and open for bands that were at least getting a bit of MTV play or being pushed by their label. It was a great set by both bands....and the funniest show I've ever seen when one of the bands that openned for them was sooooo bad (Think Sammy Hagar singing for Metallica while playing the tamborine...nothing bad by itself but a total train wreck together) they got laughed off the stage when the guitar player ended his solo, spread his arms expecting applause from the totally packed house and was met with DEAD SILENCE until a drunk guy in the back yelled "you suck!" inspiring a packed house full of thenderous laughter.
DLC I Need:
__ Peter Gabriel
__ Midnight Oil
__ Twisted Sister
__ Robert Palmer
__ Slade
__ Journey
__ Oingo Boingo
__ Genesis
PSN ID: SilverSpg
XBox GT: FieryNewt5
Total Song Library = 1,010 songs, including ALL games and track packs that can be exported into RB3
This is a definite for me. Love their stuff. Thanks for keeping the dlc rolling harmonix.
No thank you Harmonix, its a big "Pass" for me this week. Still waiting on some NOFX.
good lord ... I've been asking for more Black Crowes for eons. yay!?
(starts wishing harder for perhaps some Lennox/Eurythimics or Hagar or ... anyway)
If you don't like this band or this pack, remember, there are people out there who REALLY love the band and/or the songs released. There may be very personal, emotional reasons why they like the songs that are coming out and you can't disregard that. I am happy to see the songs that we are getting. They came out in a very important part of my life. I know that some may not like them, but that's fine. Nobody has to like everything. Just remember that there are many out there who do, and every time HMX releases DLC, they are making someone happy.
Bands We Need In RB!
[X] Poison
[ ] Twisted Sister
[ ] Genesis
[X] Doobie Brothers

We've got five weeks of college football under our belts. That's five weeks of tailgating at stadiums across the SEC, game parties at stately southern homes, and road trips from Texas to South Carolina and everywhere in between.
Since most high school football teams are at the midway point of the season, here's some of the biggest stories to follow for the second half of the regular season. There have been some minor surprises so far this season, making the next five weeks probably even more exciting for fans in Northeast Georgia to follow.
My wife Betsy and I just returned from Columbus, Ohio, where 37 years ago (1971-1975), I had the honor of coaching some of our nation's best college football players.
It's already Week 5 of the college football season and Saturday's games take place on the first day of my favorite month, October. Comfortably cooling temperatures, clear blue skies, and five October weekends of big-time SEC match-ups, including Saturday night's clash of conference titans, Alabama and Florida.
As we approach late September, SEC football is in full swing, along with another bruising competitive race - the Republican presidential campaign. It's difficult not to notice the parallels between the SEC and presidential politics. Big money. Bigger egos.
Entering Friday's game between Gainesville and North Hall, Red Elephants quarterback Deshaun Watson and Trojan running back Imani Cross were the players to watch. After Gainesville's 55-15 thrashing of its rivals, there's no question who shined brightest. Watson finished with 351 yards and five touchdowns on 18 of 25 passing. He added 96 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. When his receivers got open, he found them. Even when they weren't, he fit ...
The nation's finest conference kicks off Week 3 of the college football season Thursday as No. 3 LSU (2-0) visits No. 25 Mississippi State (1-1) in scenic Starkville, Miss.
As summer slowly slips away in the South, the second week of college football season brings cooler temperatures and a few high-profile conference clashes.
The college football season officially kicks off this weekend and two SEC programs play in marquee, primetime matchups.
FLOWERY BRANCH - Winning a Super Bowl isn't a goal you'll catch Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith talking about to the media.
When college football coaches hand out more scholarships than they have to give, it isn't always the incoming freshmen suspended in gridiron purgatory. For every Elliott Porter left in a lurch, there's at least one Bryce Sherman.
Until Saturday, the Buford Wolves had steam rolled through the Class AA state playoffs without a loss, sweeping the first four series over Fannin County, defending state champions Calhoun, Pierce County and Appling County.
As I type these words, I really thought at this point they'd be accompanied by an area baseball team from Region 8-AAA still alive in the state playoffs. Though White County, Gainesville and North Hall were all eliminated in the second round, it doesn't take away from what they accomplished this season.
There's a civil war going on in Georgia, and once again, it's the North that's winning - for now.
Why do GHSA soccer state playoff matches come down to penalty kicks? I never understood that. During the regular season, I understand. Sure, that's slightly hypocritical, since the regular season determines playoff spots, but it makes sense to me to have a definitive ending on a school night. But not during the state playoffs. In the state playoffs, matches should be determined on the field by playing the actual game of soccer. In the current ...
Be careful what you wish for.
An all-Tigers SEC Championship kicks off Saturday afternoon in the Georgia Dome as No. 5 Missouri faces No. 3 Auburn. A national title appearance is on the line if the pathetically slow, boring, and overrated Ohio State Buckeyes lay an egg in the Big 10 championship game.
Gainesville High School, like a lot of top high school teams around the country, has a very loyal alumni fan base.
Georgia and Georgia Tech treated everyone to A Tale of Four Teams Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. It's uniquely American and without the assorted pressures of Christmas. A time to be grateful for life's many blessings. Family, friends, health, and our wonderful country of opportunity and advancement.
For someone who's blind, Jake Olson sure has great vision.

Somewhere between Novosibirsk, Moscow, and Crimea there should be a lodge where mythical guy who calls himself "Villi Memory" reinterprets sounds of socialist pop from the middle of 1980-s. His project Yunost recalls a Soviet synthesizer brand 'Unost' made mostly in Latva — the notable sound can be found mostly in every movie that was made those days. Depending on the website that lead you to Villi, his project is called Yunost (translation: Youth) or Sny (translation: Dreams), I doubt that he's made a final decision, because both names perfectly suit a project that uses classic synthetic drums and pays tribute to the first wave of post-Soviet commercial music. His latest work to date, "Face the Sun," strengthens the sense of nostalgia, making me realize that this might be one of the first post-Soviet synth experiences that gives me chills.
You can hear more Yunost on Soundcloud

Born on May 3, 1919, American folk singer Pete Seeger is a 20th century iconic figure, who is best known for his contributions to the American folk music revival. He wrote the hits "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "Turn, Turn, Turn," which have since been recorded by several other artists. Seeger has also been an engaged activist, supporting such causes as international disarmament, civil rights and environmental awareness. For his established career as a musician and activist,
"I look upon myself as a planter of seeds."
"Technology will save us if it doesn't wipe us out first."
"There is hope for the world."
"I usually quote Plato, who said: It is very dangerous to allow the wrong kind of music in the republic."
"Some may find them [songs] merely diverting melodies. Others may find them incitements to Red revolution. And who will say if either or both is wrong? Not I."
Seeger has received three musical Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, among various other honors.
Early Life
American folk singer Pete Seeger was born in New York City on May 3, 1919, into a family of musicians. His father, Charles Seeger, taught music for some time at the University of California, Berkeley; and his mother, Constance (de Clyver Edson) Seeger, taught violin at The Juilliard School. Seeger's brother, Mike, would eventually become a member of New Lost City Ramblers; his sister, Peggy, would become a performing folk musician, alongside Ewan McColl.
A precocious child, Seeger developed was well-read and began developing political and social ideas at an early age. After receiving an early education at Avon Old Farms, a Connecticut boarding school, Seeger enrolled at Harvard University on a scholarship in 1936. After only two years at Harvard, however, he failed an exam and lost his scholarship, so he dropped out. He spent the rest of the 1930s as a vagabond, hitchiking and riding on freight trains around the country.
During this time, Seeger also focused on writing music. By 1940, Seeger organized a folk quartet called the Almanac Singers, which frequently featured Seeger's friend and fellow folk musician, Woody Guthrie. The Almanac Singers released several albums in the early 1940s. In 1942, however, the group's musical progress was stopped short, when Seeger was drafted into the Army to aid the country in battle during World War II. Not long after, the group disbanded.
Musical Career
When the war ended, in 1945, Seeger went back to his musical career, performing folk songs and helping to found the magazine Sing Out! A few years later, in 1948, he formed the Weavers, which included Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman. The group produced several albums in the early 1950s of standard folk songs, including "On Top of Old Smoky," "Follow the Drinking Gourd" and "The Wreck of the John B," and even appeared in a 1951 film musical, Disc Jockey. The group also wrote and recorded several original songs, including "If I Had a Hammer" (1949) and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (1950).
The group's success was halted, however, when speculation rose regarding Seeger's leftist political ideals, culminating with the band's designation as a Communist group by FBI informant Harvey Matusow (who later retracted his statement). After a short break from 1952 to 1955, which was largely due to the negative press, the Weavers officially disbanded in 1962 (Seeger broke from the Weavers in 1958).

Home > Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a birth defect. Most children who have spina bifida do not have problems from it. It occurs when the bones of the spine (vertebrae) do not form properly around part of the baby's spinal cord. It can affect how the skin on the back looks. And in severe cases, it can make walking or daily activities hard to do without help.
The disease can be mild or severe.
The exact cause of this birth defect is not known. Experts think that genes and the environment are part of the cause. For example, women who have had one child with spina bifida are more likely to have another child with the disease. Women who are obese or who have diabetes are also more likely to have a child with spina bifida.
Your child's symptoms will depend on how severe the defect is. With a mild defect, your child may have no symptoms or problems. Or your child might have a dimple, a birthmark, or a hairy patch on his or her back.
In severe cases, you may see nerves coming out of your child's back or swelling on the spine. A child with a severe defect may have nerve damage that affects daily living. The child may have little or no feeling in the legs, feet, or arms. And he or she may not be able to move those parts of the body.
Children with a severe defect are sometimes born with fluid buildup in the brain (hydrocephalus). They may also have this problem after birth. It can cause seizures, intellectual disability, or sight problems. Some children also get a curve in the spine, such as scoliosis.
Many children who have severe spina bifida develop an allergy to latex (a type of rubber).
A pregnant woman can have a blood test (maternal serum triple or quadruple screen) and a fetal ultrasound to check for spina bifida and other problems with the fetus.
If test results suggest a birth defect, she can choose to have an amniocentesis. This test helps confirm if spina bifida exists. But the test also has risks, such as a chance of miscarriage.
After birth, doctors can tell if a baby has spina bifida by how the baby's back looks. The doctor may do an X-ray, an MRI, or a CT scan to see if the defect is mild or severe.
Treatment depends on how severe the defect is. Most children with spina bifida have only a mild defect and may not need treatment. But a child with a severe defect may need surgery. If your child has problems from nerve damage, he or she may need a brace or a wheelchair, physical therapy, or other aids.
There are things you can do to support your child:
Before and during pregnancy, a woman can help prevent spina bifida in her child.
All foods made from grains and sold in the United States have folic acid added. It helps prevent children from being born with spina bifida.

Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
There are no symptoms that indicate a pregnant woman has a fetus with spina bifida.
The appearance and symptoms of a child who is born with spina bifida depend on how severe the condition is.
Children with severe spina bifida often have parts of the brain and upper spinal cord that are not formed normally. It is also common for these children to have fluid on the brain (hydrocephalus). Related problems can cause:
If hydrocephalus is not treated, it can cause severe intellectual disability or death.
The most severe form of spina bifida (myelomeningocele) almost always affects the function of the limbs and organs in the lower part of the body. The child's ability to walk depends on what part of the spine is affected and how severe the spina bifida is. The lower (lumbar) spine is affected in most cases. The higher on the spine the defect occurs, the more severe and widespread are the problems. See a picture of the spine.
Spinal cord damage caused by severe spina bifida may cause problems such as:
Most children who have severe spina bifida have curvature of the spine—scoliosis, kyphosis (hunchback), or both. It can be present at birth or develop later in life.
Many children who have severe spina bifida develop an allergy to latex, a natural rubber product that is used to make objects such as toys and health care supplies. Doctors do not know why many children with spina bifida develop this allergy. Take extra care to keep your child who has spina bifida away from products that contain latex.
During your second trimester, you can have a blood test called the maternal serum triple or quadruple screen to see whether you have a higher-than-normal chance of having a baby with birth defects. This test is used to screen a fetus for certain abnormalities, including neural tube defects. The most common type of neural tube defect is spina bifida. The triple or quadruple screen test does not pose any risk to the fetus.
If the triple or quadruple screen test shows that you have elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a neural tube defect in the fetus, such as spina bifida, may be suspected. In this case, the following tests usually are done:
Severe spina bifida is strongly suspected when amniocentesis shows high levels of AFP and ACH and when fetal ultrasound results show severe spinal abnormalities.
An early diagnosis of severe spina bifida allows you to make an informed decision about your pregnancy. If you decide to carry the fetus to term, knowing about the defect can help you and your family prepare for your baby's special needs.
Children who have mild spina bifida may have no physical symptoms. It is often not found until later in life, when the person has a back X-ray for other reasons. It usually does not cause any problems.
Severe spina bifida is usually obvious at birth, because the baby has a noticeable swelling on the back. Many babies with severe spina bifida, especially those with myelomeningocele, have enlarged heads caused by an excess of spinal fluid in the head (hydrocephalus).
After birth, tests to evaluate the extent of the spinal defect may include:
Spina bifida often results in severe curvature of the spine—scoliosis, kyphosis (hunchback), or both. Periodic physical exams of the spine usually are recommended.
Babies with severe spina bifida often have problems related to nerve damage of the spinal cord. This nearly always affects the urinary system. Evaluation to determine the extent of this damage may include a renal ultrasound and cystourethrogram.
Nerve damage may also affect the limbs, especially the legs. During your child's physical exams, the doctor will look for limb deformities, such as clubfoot. The doctor will also observe your child's arm and leg movements.
Treatment usually is not needed for the mild form of spina bifida and often not needed for meningocele. Treatment of the most severe form of spina bifida (myelomeningocele) depends on the specific problems caused by the spinal defect and may include surgery, physical therapy, and the use of braces and other aids. Some children will have problems day to day, and others won't.
Most babies born with severe spina bifida live through childhood or longer.
A team of health professionals can help you address your child's needs. The team may include primary care doctors, nurses, surgeons, and therapists.
Sometimes severe spina bifida can be surgically corrected before a baby is born (prenatally). The pregnant woman's uterus is entered with surgical instruments and the fetus's spine is repaired. This surgery, which is only done in specialized medical centers, is relatively new. And it is not yet known how much benefit this surgery provides in the long term. Early results suggest that this surgery may decrease the risk that the baby will need a drainage tube called a shunt to relieve pressure on the brain. The surgery may also improve the baby's ability to be active as he or she grows up. But it also poses considerable risk for the fetus and mother and can cause premature birth. And if you want to have another baby, it will have to be delivered by cesarean section.1 Talk with your doctor about the advantages and risks of this surgery.
If you know that you are carrying a baby who has severe spina bifida, talk with your doctor about whether to have a cesarean section (C-section) or not. Try to have your baby in a large medical center where neonatal (new baby) surgery can be done.
For the most severe form of spina bifida, initial treatment includes surgery on the exposed nerves and tissues. Some babies who have meningocele will also need surgery. Surgery is done to prevent spinal cord infection and protect the exposed nerve tissues from injury. It is usually performed within a few days after birth. Depending on the baby's health, surgery may be delayed for up to 6 weeks. Antibiotics are often given to prevent infection from developing inside the spinal cord or brain (encephalitis or meningitis).
Most babies with severe spina bifida have increased fluid around the brain (hydrocephalus). Treatment for hydrocephalus involves surgically installing a drainage tube called a shunt that relieves pressure on the brain by draining excess fluid into the abdomen. This keeps the swelling from causing further damage to the brain. A shunt may be necessary for the rest of the child's life.
Some babies also have a condition called a Chiari malformation of the brain. In a Chiari malformation, the lower part of the brain presses on the bones of the lower part of the skull and the upper spine. Pressure on the brain can sometimes be relieved with surgery to remove some of the bone.
In the first few weeks of life, a baby with severe spina bifida may need physical therapy or occupational therapy. The therapist will move the arms and legs to help the muscles and joints stay flexible. The therapist will also teach the parents how to do these exercises. The parents will then continue to help their baby do the exercises at home.
Nerve damage from spina bifida can lead to foot deformities, such as clubfoot, and hip deformities. Treatment of clubfoot may involve using a cast for the first few months of life, and then surgery may be done. Hip deformities may also be corrected surgically. But doctors recommend surgery only if it is likely to allow the child to walk.
Leg braces may be needed when the child is old enough to walk. These help prevent damage to the joints and help the child walk.
Curvature of the spine—scoliosis, kyphosis (hunchback), or both—may be treated with a brace. But if curvature gets worse as the child grows, it may need to be corrected surgically.
Bladder problems resulting from nerve damage can prevent complete emptying of the bladder, which can lead to kidney damage. If your child has bladder problems, you'll likely be taught how to insert a urinary catheter several times a day to ensure your child's bladder gets completely emptied. This is called clean intermittent catheterization, or CIC. Your child can insert the catheter when he or she is old enough.
Bowel problems are common in children who have severe spina bifida. Nerve damage can keep the muscles of the digestive tract from squeezing properly to move contents through the intestines and can also keep the muscle around the anus from closing tightly. Also, there may not be normal feeling (sensation) to let the child know when he or she needs to go to the bathroom or when he or she has had a bowel movement. Parents usually begin working with the doctor or nurse on managing bowel care as soon as the child starts eating solid food.
Some children have problems if scar tissue attaches the spinal cord to other tissues. The scar tissue holds the lower end of the spinal cord in place so the cord stretches as the child grows. This is called a tethered spinal cord. It can cause or increase problems with movement, bladder and bowel control, and pain. Some children will have repeat surgery to release the scar tissue and free the end of the spinal cord.
Frequent doctor's visits will be needed early on if your baby has severe spina bifida. Doctors use these visits to make sure that treatments are working and to see if the child needs more surgery.
A baby with severe spina bifida may need ongoing physical therapy to keep joints and muscles flexible and to help strengthen the muscles by exercising the arms and legs. You will be able to help your baby do many of these exercises at home.
Complications linked with spina bifida include:
Other problems can occur with severe spina bifida and may get worse as the child grows:
Sometimes spina bifida causes people to have an abnormal walking pattern (gait). It can lead to arthritis of the hips or knees, and treatment may be needed. For more information, see the topic Osteoarthritis.
Exercise promotes strength, physical development, and enhanced mobility in children with spina bifida. Even children who use a wheelchair full time benefit from exercise. Exercise helps prevent brittle bones, strengthens muscles, and reduces the risk of joint injury.
Your health care team will provide you with exercises to do with your baby. To promote activity, you can also:
Work on ways to strengthen your child's self-esteem. Help your child learn about and nurture his or her unique talents. For more information, see:
Preventing skin infections and injuries requires daily inspection of your child's skin. Children with spina bifida who have little or no feeling in their legs and feet are not able to sense pain and may injure themselves without knowing it. Some injuries may result in infections. Look for cuts that your child has not noticed, blisters and pressure sores that result from staying in one position too long, raw places where braces rub on the skin, and other signs of injury. Early care of any blisters, sores, or cuts helps prevent infection.
Take care of your child's bladder control problems to help prevent bladder infections and kidney damage. Your doctor may suggest clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). You or your child will be taught to insert a catheter into his or her bladder at least 4 times a day. CIC lets urine flow out of the urethra.
Help your child prevent constipation by paying close attention to his or her diet. If your child has nerve damage that contributes to constipation, encourage him or her to drink plenty of fluids and eat foods that are high in fiber, such as whole grains and fruits. Some children need enemas, stool softeners, or laxatives to help them pass stool.
Children with spina bifida often have an allergy to latex. Help your child avoid contact with latex products, such as certain toys, balloons, and gloves. The Spina Bifida Association of America (www.sbaa.org) maintains a list of items that contain latex.
When your child reaches school age, you may need to help teachers understand your child's special needs. For example, your child may have problems with coordination that make writing difficult. Some children with severe spina bifida will have learning problems. You can work with teachers and other school officials to create a plan to take care of your child's special needs. Sometimes this is as simple as giving the child extra time to complete school work.
In the United States, laws guarantee free early treatment programs and equal access to public education for all disabled children. These laws protect a parent's right to be fully informed about educational decisions concerning his or her child. Also, the laws protect the parent's rights when he or she disagrees with any decision. Contact your state and local education departments for information about your rights to educational accommodations.
To help reduce the risk of having a child who has spina bifida and other neural tube defects, you need to get plenty of folic acid. Women who are at risk (such as those who have already had a child with spina bifida) should take 4,000 mcg of folic acid a day.2 Having enough folic acid in your diet is an important part of preventing spina bifida. To be effective, it needs to be consumed before a baby is conceived. Folic acid may be obtained from vitamin supplements and by eating foods that are rich in folic acid, such as fortified breakfast cereals and breads, spinach, and oranges. Since 1998, the United States government has required that foods made from grains and sold in the U.S. be supplemented with folic acid to help reduce the risk of spina bifida.
Before you become pregnant, talk with your doctor about the risk for having a baby with spina bifida. This is especially important if you are taking medicines for epilepsy, such as valproic acid (Depakene or Depakote) or medicines for acne, such as isotretinoin (such as Amnesteem, Claravis, or Sotret). These medicines are linked with a higher rate of neural tube defects and should not be taken just before and during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Because no amount of alcohol is considered safe during pregnancy, do not drink while you are pregnant. Women who drink large amounts of alcohol during their pregnancy have an increased risk for having a child with physical and mental effects caused by alcohol exposure.
High body temperature (hyperthermia) can cause spina bifida to develop in your fetus. So avoid exposure to excessive heat, such as saunas or soaking in a very hot bath, during the first weeks of your pregnancy. A high fever during the first weeks of pregnancy can also cause hyperthermia.

Here is one that I did that was fantastic. Take a piece of focaccia bread and slice in half to make a sandwich. I got my focaccia at Trader Joes. Take sliced brie and basil and layer on the bread. Add a big spoonful of the caramelized onions. Using either a griddle, broiler, or panini press, grill the sandwich till the brie cheese is oozing out the sides. The flavor of the cheese with the sharp bite of basil and sweetness of the onions is incredible.
This is now on the list to make after the tomato glut is put up. I love onions in any way I can get them. And I can see this with a dollap of a tomato jam on top of some fresh chevre or even a smoked chevre on a piece of good bread with a glass of wine!
Oh I just realized I will have to make this before the sate wine festival to share with some friends there.
Insanely delicious! Just made a batch and probably ate a pint while canning! Thank you for the recipe.
I used a 2009 Bonterra cab sav for this batch. I'd like to try it with a nice Shiraz next time. Have you ever tried this with Vidalia or other types of onions?
I did this recipe now I think three times. Once with regular yellow onions, once with chipolini sweet onions, and once with red onions. All were fantastic and gone from the pantry. It's a fairly versatile recipe in that you can use a decadent wine and a sweet onion to a robust cab and the red onions. They are so good. Very earthy!
About what quantity does this recipe make? Thanks, Kathie
I make 4 half pints with this recipe.
This sounds soooo good! However, I'm not a wine drinker, so I'm at a loss as to what to buy to make this. Do you think I could substitute something else or have a wine suggestion?
Jolene - You don't have to use an expensive red wine. You could use a $4 bottle of cabernet or "two buck chuck" since you wiull be cooking the wine down. There are also some good non-alcoholic red wines in a cabernet or merlot that will work as well. Sometimes you can find a red wine in the single glass size that will work perfect.
Hi there,
I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago. It is really delicious. I have a question, though, that I'm hoping you can answer. I quadrupled the recipe hoping for 8 half pints. My red onions must have been much bigger than what was called for, though, because I ended up with the 8 half pints and 3 additional pints. I water bath processed them all, and then realized I hadn't added any more acid - just used the recipe as is. Do you think they're safe? I really hate the thought of giving people botulism. :/ Thanks! Love your site.
As long as you 4X's the vinegar, wine and brown sugar you should be fine. You are technically short two half pints.
Recipe makes 4 half pints x4 = 16 half pints. You made 8 + 3 pints (6 half pints) =14 half pints.
Hope that helps!
Ohhhhhhh. Duh. For some reason I thought the recipe made two half pints. Now I feel a little silly. Thank you so much for the recipe and the quick response! I'll be coming back here often!
Hi, I'm just trying to clarify the yield of this recipe. In the recipe you say it yields 2 cups, but later in the comments you say it's 4 half pints which is 4 cups.
Thank you.
The recipe as typed was from one of the canning books. When I did the recipe I got 4 half pints not 2 cups and as the year has past many people have come back and said that their yield was different. The bottom line is the size of the onions. I am suppose to prep the onions, figure out how many cups of sliced onions I use, make the recipes and then report back. I have been super busy and have not gotten back to doing this for the readers. The basic "2 large" onions can be so many sizes but for sure you will get 4 half pints if you use one that are 4 to 5 inches in diameter which were the ones I bought.
this looks delicious. any chance that some other liquid (cider, maybe?) could be used in place of wine?
I also have a question about the volume, especially since acid levels are so important when dealing with onions. Without a good measurement of the cups or weight of onions, how would it be possible to substitute (as you mentioned) something like cippolini onions?
I made this by par cooking a pizza dough them shmearing with the caramelized onion relish and topping with pieces of goat cheese and baking the rest of the way. My hubby did the happy dance !!

Will Newt Gingrich Do the GOP More Harm Than Good by Staying in the 2012 Race? >
Conservatives Won't Have Romney Shoved Down Their Throats
Gingrich is the only one in the race who has a chance of uniting conservatives behind the GOP
February 1, 2012
If former House Speaker Newt Gingrich continues in the Republican primaries, not only is he doing more good than harm, he may be the only candidate left who can save the Republican Party.
The Republican establishment is bound and determined that it is going to impose a Mitt Romney on us. Conservatives do not want former Gov. Mitt Romney.
You see, we have danced this dance before. We had Sen. John McCain shoved down our throats in 2008. How did that work out for us? We have George W. Bush, who barely won his races, and before that we had former Sen. Bob Dole, who blew it, and George H.W. Bush, who could not win re-election against an unknown governor from Arkansas!
We conservatives have had it.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Mitt Romney.]
The conservative and Tea Party bloc of the Republican Party supports Newt Gingrich.
We conservatives held our noses and voted for John McCain in 2008. That did it for us. We are not doing it in 2012. The Tea Party overwhelmingly supports Gingrich over Romney. One exit poll showed Gingrich getting 45 percent of the Tea Party vote versus 14 percent for Romney.
[See a slide show of Newt Gingrich's career.]
Gingrich is the only one in the race who has a chance of uniting the Republican Party. If Romney wins the nomination, a quarter and a half of the Tea Party voters say they will not vote him in the general election. That is a ticket to defeat.
By staying in the race, Newt holds out the possibility of saving the Republican Party. With a significant number of conservatives willing sit out the presidential race if our choice is between a liberal Republican and a liberal Democrat, that make the race unwinnable for Romney. More ominous for the GOP is talk in some conservative circles of a third party. Mitt Romney can make that happen. Newt Gingrich, by staying in, delays and possibly prevents the Republican Party from fracturing into two parties.
