Turkey Chorizo Burger
Posted: Friday, May. 23, 2014
Its time to grill! Summer time is the most popular time to grill our favorite dishes; and what better than a plump juicy burger. Instead of reaching for the standard ground beef give ground turkey a try. Turkey is full of protein and low in fat, not that any of that matters when eating a burger. In this recipe a bit of flavorful chorizo sausage is mixed in with ground turkey to kick up the flavor, but also to help to keep it nice and moist while grilling. Enjoy the thrill of the grill all summer long!

Even in today's relatively forward-thinking society, with all of the informational and educational advantages provided by the Internet and related digital technologies, many people have a limited understanding of what it means to be homosexual, bisexual, and gender dysphoric. As such, I often find myself explaining the basics of both sexual orientation (also called sexual preference) and gender identity—not just in my office, but to the press, at therapy-related conferences, and elsewhere.
Part of the issue stems from the fact that despite numerous recent legal and social advances we still live in a heteronormative society, where people who are biologically male marry people who are biologically female, and together they have babies who are raised to do the same. This is just the way it is, you know. And when that is the primary socio-sexual message received from family, friends, and society at large, it can be difficult for people who are "sexually different" to accept and integrate their nontraditional reality. It is also difficult for their friends, family members, and therapists—the majority of whom are not sexually different—to understand and empathize with these people's experience.

How To Convince An Addict To Get Help
Once you get those 3 reasons, get a professional or an expert to find the solutions to those issues. For example, the person says that they will not get help because they tried a few times and they failed and that they will fail again. Ask a few addiction professionals to find a solution to this issue that will help the addict overcome this barrier. One good answer to this example is the following: "Yes, you tried to get better and failed however this time we will do things differently. We will keep a daily diary of everything you do and you or someone else will document what you do each day. If you stumble or fail you will write down your feelings at the time and why you failed. When you recover from a bad episode you can READ your diary and find out what went wrong. Once you know what went wrong you will know why you failed and will find a way to prevent this from happening again."
Use your list from step three and list every positive thing that will counter those barriers. When you are finished, present this to the person who is struggling and explain what you came up with. This will help reduce the person's fears and anxieties and may convince them to get help. Developing a plan to counter their reasons of not getting help will go a long way.
6. Talk to the Person Instead of Talking At Them
Nobody wants to be lectured. Be honest with them and tell them that it will require some hard work on their part but that they can get better. If they don't get help, they will suffer. The person who is struggling is scared and they need help in overcoming their fears and resistance to getting help. Remember to find out those fears, address possible solutions to those fears, and you will have a better chance of getting through to that person. Hopefully, sooner or later, you will be able to get through to the person. The key is to be persistent. Be very persistent. Also, it would help to have everybody pray for that person. Involving God in your current situation can sometimes produce unexpected results.

Monchiero Carbone Roero Arneis Recit 2012
Monchiero Carbone - Piedmont - Italy - Roero
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Although the Arneis grape varietal is now grown in several New World countries around the world to great effect, its home is in the beautiful and hilly Piedmont region of northern Italy. The name itself translates as 'little rascal', due to the fact that the Arneis varietal is notoriously difficult to cultivate correctly due to its sensitivity to climatic conditions and various mildews. However, with the correct care and attention, it is capable of producing stunning white wines, packed full of delicious flavors of pears and other orchard fruits, often with a tart and acidic apricot taste. The floral aromas that come from the grape are highly sought after, and its aromatic quality makes Arneis grapes a favorite as a blending varietal.
The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.
Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.

Elephant rampages made headlines this week.
A 63-year-old Swiss tourist died in Southern Thailand when the male elephant she was riding had an altercation with another, World Radio Switzerland reports. She fell to the ground and was trampled, according to many reports. Other tourists on the ride fell off their elephants, and some were injured.
Phuket Wan Tourism News has a vivid account of the aftermath of the rampage.
It says three riders were hospitalized in the resort town of Phuket. One Australian women had a broken rib, and a bruised chest and foot after falling from one of the elephants during Tuesday's rampage. A Swiss man suffered abrasions and cuts. Another woman from Switzerland was in intensive care, with 12 broken ribs and a punctured lung. The elephant she was on reportedly crashed into a tree. Her best friend, a widow, was the women who was killed, reports say.
News stories said three elephants, each carrying two people, were in an outing in Khao Sok National Park north of Phuket when the rampage took place in a clearing,
Sunday, two Korean tourists were injured in India in another elephant fiasco. According to reports, a couple was seriously hurt when the elephant they were on fought with another at the Amber Fort in the Jaipur area. The two tourists, who were in their 50s, suffered a head injury and a fractured leg after jumping to the ground.
The Times of India has a report that says the elephants involved were feuding. It raised questions about elephant care and how the jaunts are monitored. It also said animal rights activists oppose rides.
On the other side of the coin, Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley recently told Conde Nast Traveler that he enoyed a peaceful elephant ride in Thailand.
"I stayed at the Four Seasons Chiang Mai, where the highlight was riding an elephant bareback — mine was named Mae Ma, and her calm personality mirrored mine."
I have been approached for elephant rides and said no. It seems scary to be so high off the ground on such a powerful animal. Have any readers had any experiences (good or bad) on elephant rides, and what do you think of them as tourist activities?
(Postscript: I just read a story about a zoo staffer in Knoxville, Tenn., being killed in January by an African elephant for no apparent reason. Read the account posted by WVLT-TV here.

Written by Dentistry Today Friday, 30 May 2014 09:17
Current therapies for head and neck cancer such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy control cancer at the cost of normal tissues, sometimes damaging them permanently. That's why scientists are searching for drugs that target and kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissues. Dr. Silvio Gutkind and his team at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) reported in Molecular Oncology that p38 kinase is active in head and neck cancer cells, and blocking p38 may help prevent cancers from growing. Although p38 is known to play a role in breast and bladder cancers, these results may be the first to show that p38 plays a highly active role in head and neck cancers.
After analyzing tissue samples of hundreds of head and neck cancer patients, the NIDCR team found that the most malignant tissue samples had the highest activity of p38, and the least malignant samples had the lowest p38 activity. The normal oral tissue used as a control had no p38 activity. When the team used a gene knockdown technique to turn off p38 activity in human oral cancer cells and transplanted those cells into lab mice, the oral cancers without p38 activity were smaller than those with p38 activity. In addition, turning off p38 activity diminished the growth of new blood vessels, which cancers rely on for growth and the ability to spread to other parts of the body.
The next phase of the study was to test SB203580, a drug that is known to block p38 activity. As expected, SB203580 reduced the growth of head and neck cancer cells in the lab, and when SB203580 was used to treat human head and neck cancers that had been transplanted into lab mice, SB203580 made the cancers smaller. The next step is to test a new generation of drugs that inhibit p38.

Motion to dismiss Brookfield 'gun in church' case denied
Updated On: May 05 2014 06:33:46 PM CDT
A woman charged with leaving a loaded gun in a Brookfield church entered a not guilty plea in court Monday.
Susan Hitchler, 66, of Oconomowoc is charged with a misdemeanor count of negligent handling of a weapon. Police said she left the loaded gun in the women's bathroom of Elmbrook Church.
VIDEO: Woman accused of leaving gun in Elmbrook Church pleads not guilty
Hitchler's attorney tried Monday to have the entire case dismissed, arguing that no one was in danger.
"The criminal complaint doesn't do anything to say who was endangered, how they were endangered, how long they were endangered," attorney Thomas Grieve said.
According to court records, a church employee found the gun in the bathroom while an adult bible study class was going on. Employees said there were also children present at the time.
Court commissioner Thomas Pieper said that the fact that the employee picked up the loaded gun and walked around asking "Is this for real?" constituted a dangerous situation.
Hitchler declined to answer WISN 12 News' questions.
The motion to dismiss the case was denied. Hitchler is due back in court June 13.

Some users have complained the experience doesn't work.
When it launched its "Best Buy Movie Mode" mobile app last month, Best Buy and agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky aimed to engage viewers of Universal Pictures' film "Despicable Me" in a live in-theater experience that coincided with the film's end-credits.
They chose the film well. As of Friday, Moviegoers had funneled more than $160 million into "Despicable Me" since it launched on July 9. However the app has hit a few bumps, as some users have complained loudly that the experience doesn't work.
Part of the problem, says CP+B, is that app users have to see the film at a digital 3D theater. (The app helps you find the nearest 3D theater - as well as the nearest Best Buy.) Many users didn't realize that fact, or ignored it. Instead they loaded the app - which comes in versions for iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Windows Mobile devices - in non-3D theaters. As a result, the featured "Minionator" tool - which "translates" the film's small Minion characters' gibberish into English during the 3D end credits - never functioned.
Best Buy declined to provide download figures for the app. For their part, iTunes users seem roughly split between those who love it and those who say it is a waste of time. Out of 395 ratings for the current version, 131 users give it 5 stars and 173 give it only 1 star. Users who rate the app 1-star complain that it does not work properly.
One reviewer who gave it five stars writes, "The instructions are easy to follow, but also easy to mess up."
As for what Best Buy is doing to address the concerns, spokesperson Erin Bix says, "We've updated the application to allow anyone who activates Movie Mode at the beginning of the film to receive the extra bonus content even if they're unable to complete the entire end credit sequence."
Resistance From Theater Chains
The app also promotes the shocking premise of encouraging users to leave their phones on during the movie. Dan Fox, creative technology director at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, says, "We had a lot of discussions with Cinemark, AMC and Regal. They were very concerned about the concept of encouraging people to bring cell phones into the theater."
He says the theaters acquiesced when he learned the app compels users to dim their screens and silence their ringers.
In order to use the app, users merely click, "Enter Movie Mode," before the film begins. At the end of the film, the phone will vibrate and users can pick it up to see the translations.
Best Buy says the app syncs with the film by listening for audio cues in the soundtrack. That's part of the reason users have to start it up before the film. Another is simply so people aren't fooling with their phones during the movie. (There is also an onscreen reminder to turn on the app before the movie begins.)
Best Buy adds, "It is likely that the app will still work if Best Buy Movie Mode is activated any time before the end credits begin, but the experience may be less than optimal."
The company has previously launched a Best Buy app that provides barcode scanning, customer reviews and product information, as well a a Reward Zone app for its loyalty program that allows customers to view their Reward Zone certificates.
The app is available at BestBuyMovieMode.com or by texting "MINION" to 332211. According to Best Buy, additional content is available in the "Extras" section of the app after the credits as well. This includes an exclusive interview with Producer Chris Meledandri as well a $10 credit for digital entertainment service CinemaNow. And Best Buy says there are bigger things in store when the movie comes out on DVD and Blu-ray.
Universal provided the translations for the app. All users see the same translations and have the same experience. (Crispin Porter + Bogusky creative director Steve Babcock says it was a "happy accident" that the Minions are dressed in blue and yellow - coordinating with Best Buy's colors.)
Best Buy declined to comment on whether it was considering similar apps for future movies.

means that you only get the film... the black bars that are above and below the film have been removed in order to give you a much better quality file/film than if they were left in. NONE of the film itself is cropped. Nothing is missing.

Formulating some recipes lately and I found myself too reliant on Beersmith for my numbers so I decided to pull out some old friends.
I need to make it a point to refresh myself on how to design beers manually, so I know exactly how the beer will turn out. It would also be nice to double check my Beersmith numbers too.
Might be my favorite combination of brewing books.

Happy Birthday Richard.
info: Please Sign Up or Sign In to continue.
This room is for general discussion that doesn't specifically fit into one of the other CatholicMatch rooms. Topics should not be overly serious as this is to be more of a "cafe setting."
Saint Peter's Square was created so that more people could be in the presence of the Pope and was named after Saint Peter, one of Jesus's apostles.
Learn More: Saint Peter
Wishing you many blessings on your special day, Richard, and hoping that the sun shines a little brighter and the world seems a little safer for you now.
May God smile lovingly on you and St. Michael keep you under his protection. May this coming year be the one that sees all your dreams come true.
Happy Birthday!!
I know you have experienced some severe anxieties and fears with the recent break-in of your home. Although I also experienced unwanted intruders invade my home, fortunately I was not present at the time of the break-in. I know it would take me a long time to get through such an episode if I ever did while living in that home.
On another hopefully more pleasant note, I appreciate Josephine initiating this thread to wish you a Happy Birthday. May God see fit to grant you many, many more.
Please know you will continue to be in my prayers and I am sure other posters.
Your CM family loves you. Enjoy this special day God created for you.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus embrace you in His loving arms. May He guide and protect you from any other harm.
On a serious note, thanks for your concern about Richard's well-being. A break-in is an unsettling event.
Let's hope that Richard's birthday produces sunshine in his life and provides respite from his experience.

President Obama Addresses Students in 2nd Annual Back to School Speech in Philadelphia
The Washington Post reported today that President Barack Obama delivered his second annual back-to-school speech on Tuesday. The President addressed students, teachers and school administrators at the Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School in Philadelphia, PA.
In his message, he stressed the importance of students taking personal responsibility and encouraged them to "work hard" and "dream big" to achieve success in their future. He told the students that while government would do its part to help provide access to a quality education, and students will need to do their part to ensure a bright future for themselves.
The text of Obama's speech was released Monday to allow those with concerns about the content of the speech to review it. See below to watch yesterday's speech.

Thanks for your comments guys on the previous upload, much appreciated I'm taking a bit of a gamble with this one as I've never done interior architecture before, but after I called in at Aysgarth falls, which failed to impress to be honest, I called in to the church and as it was empty I grabbed a couple of shots, hope you like and as ever your comments are always welcome.

Quote: Lovely work Tony, I would like to have a go at this ...... perhaps you could organise a saturday morning outing???
As soon as I can get a Saturday morning free Gill we'll get the gang together and do West Burton and Aysgarth, might be some time though
I think if you're going to shoot from this angle, you need to get some kind of symmetry to make the shot work
fair enough
doesn't really work as is, just a gaping imbalance between the left and right in the foreground. the right side has a decorative pew end right on the edge of the frame, whereas the left has one 1/3 of the way into the shot. it gives a feeling of accidental imbalance.
Now if you'd got right up to the left and used that as a lead line, it'd work - so the right would be small to the eye. But as it is, they're both pretty similarly sized but not balanced - hence it not looking "right".
but if that's how you wanted it, then well done
Yep, not saying you're wrong but I decided not to go for the obvious "follow on like sheep" composition, and people will either like or not, as a first attempt at interior shooting I thought it was worth an upload, good of you to take the time to crit & your comment is welcomeLast Modified By Hanners at 16 Jan 2009 - 10:30 PM
no probs - thought I'd just expand a little as I was just "passing though" before
not really got any examples of the "useing one side as a lead" in a church, but it's a bit like using a fence in a landscape, just have it leading from one corner into the shot
it's the imbalance of the pew ends that's not working for me, rather than the centrality of the aisle - the left and right have different optical "weight" as a result, the right looks higher than the left, it loks heavier than the left, it looks nearer than the left - that kind of thing.
it's something to bear in mind when looking through the viewfinder next time you're in a church
Hi Tony
Your creativity impresses very much.
Excellent performance in your new area of photography.
A cracking image, Tony, all the verticals are vertical, not leaning as can easily happen! It doesn't bother me that you've taken it slightly off centre, it works for me.
Like the colour version best.
love them both, cant really decide. Great symmetry
Hope you r improving

Intel Backs SoftBank Offer for Sprint Over Dish
Dish's proposal for Sprint may put the company "in play" for merger or partnership attempts given the ambition and financing attached to its proposal, according to Walter Piecyk, telecom analyst at BTIG.
"Charlie Ergen's latest move not only puts Sprint in play but it might have done the same for Dish," Piecyk wrote in a Friday note to clients.
Piecyk highlighted that some partners could be attracted to a deal because of the amount of debt attached to Dish's proposal, while others may want to put cash up to support Ergen's efforts at building the nation's first bundle of unlimited broadband, data and video service.
Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), NTT Docomo (DCM), DirecTV (DTV) and AT&T (T) are among the potential suitors cited by Piecyk in his analysis.Piecyk, the BTIG analyst, noted that some in the wireless industry may want Dish's highly leveraged proposal for Sprint to win out over SoftBank's offer because it could return the carrier to a position of financial distress. "The wireless industry might prefer Ergen to win over Softbank because Ergen's resulting debt leverage would hamper his ability to invest the necessary capital to be competitive," Piecyk wrote. Still, given Ergen's streak for innovation and disruption of seemingly high-barrier industries, there are some who would want to support his ambition. Piecyk noted the wireless spectrum Dish brings to a potential deal, in addition to a new nationwide content service that could bolster the growth of streaming services such as Netflix (NFLX) and HBO Go. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York.

SYMETRIX RELEASES VISTA-COMPATIBLE ZONE MIX 760 AND DEUCE 722 SOFTWARE, PLUS SMAART(tm) SUPPORT
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, WASHINGTON – MARCH 2008: As part of its continued commitment to the professionals for whom their Integrator Series of cost-effective DSP processors are designed, Symetrix, Inc. has issued free software upgrades for their groundbreaking Deuce 722 and Zone Mix 760 single-rack space processors. Both units incorporate the proven technology of Symetrix' SymNet brand of open-architecture DSP systems and deliver the optimal feature set and I/O count needed for restaurants, hotels, sports bars, nightclubs, retail, public address and more, at an amazingly low price. Version 2.1 of the Deuce 722 and version 2.1.1 of the Zone Mix 760 are compatible with Microsoft's new Vista operating system and add support for EAW's Smaart software. In addition, the new Deuce 722 software adds a host of functionalities released in previous versions of the Zone Mix 760.
With the free upgrades available now at www.symetrixaudio.com, integrators will be able to directly control the Loudspeaker Manager, Limiter, and Output sections of either unit from within the Smaart software environment, simplifying sound system tuning and room correction. In addition, the Deuce 722 adds support for the ARC-K1 Modular Wall Panel Remote Control, which allows control over either, or both, of the Deuce's channel levels with one wall panel, even from multiple locations.
The new Deuce 722 software also adds a number of small changes already present in the Zone Mix 760 that increase its expansive function set. Its analog control inputs are now fully implemented with each of the two inputs supporting two switches, two control voltages or one potentiometer. The External Control Wizard software now allows for additional fader and mute linking for greater control flexibility. Like the Zone Mix 760, the Deuce 722 now permits integrators to designate "ON" and "OFF" presets that can be triggered externally, providing the ability to create preset toggles. Finally, the Deuce 722 features improved third-party external control via Ethernet with a fully-documented control protocol.
The Zone Mix 760 offers twelve inputs (four microphone, eight stereo line level) and six outputs, whereas the Deuce 722 offers two inputs (selectable mic/line and dual mono/stereo) and two outputs. Both units are loaded with all of the most commonly-used DSP blocks, including microphone pre-amplification, compression, AGC, ducking, matrix mixing, paging, feedback elimination, filters, equalization, and Ambient Noise Compensation. Setup is easy and efficient with a straightforward Windows(r) interface connected over Ethernet, now compatible with all of the contemporary Windows operating systems.

How to Get a Baby to Sleep Through the Night: Part IIWednesday, June 24th, 2009
Ready to give sleep training a whirl? Here's a night-by-night gameplan, plus a detailed log of my own experience, so you know what to expect. May the sleep be with you!
The Gameplan:
The first night: Go in quickly– during the first five minutes of crying, and stay for under a minute. After that, if your baby keeps crying, go in every 5-25 minutes, at the height of baby's cry. Repeat this process throughout the night. Do not feed your baby before midnight.
The second night: Stick to the plan above. If your baby ate at midnight last night, feed her again at midnight. If she lasted longer, for example, she nursed at 2 AM, do not feed her before that time.
The third night: Follow the same plan, but tonight, move the boundary for feeding by two hours. If your baby has been nursing for the past two nights at midnight, don't feed her tonight before 2 AM. If she's been nursing at 3 AM the past two nights, move the feeding to 5 AM.
The following nights: Every baby is different. Many will be sleeping through the night after three nights of this sleep program. For others, it can take two weeks or more. The most important thing is consistency. If you respond to your baby the same way each night, she'll know the drill. Don't start feeding her earlier than the boundary you set and don't pick her up when she cries. Babies adjust quickly if the routine is consistent and they know what to expect.
A Week in the Life of a Sleep Trainer…
Knowing what to do in theory, and actually doing it are completely different things. I've just finished a full week of following Diamond and Cochran's advice. Let me state for the record that I have a child who can cry for long spouts. I didn't really expect this to work. Here's the blow-by-blow of what's happened so far:
Night #1: Went to bed at 7 PM. Woke up crying at 9 PM, so I knew she wasn't hungry. I put the pacifier in her mouth (bad mommy!) and walked out of the room. She cried even harder. I waited five minutes and the crying lessened, so I didn't go back in. She eventually fell asleep and didn't wake up again until 3:45 AM, at which point I fed her. She slept until 6:30 AM.
Night #2: Went to bed at 7 PM. Woke up crying at 12 AM. It took three rounds of going in and patting her, with her crying harder each time. I was tempted to feed her, but I resisted, since she'd gone until 3:45 AM the night before. Instead, I went in for each round at the height of the cry, stayed less than a minute each time, and prepared myself for a very long night. But after the third time, the crying lessened and she fell asleep. She woke up again at 5:15 AM and I fed her. It was starting to get light out, so I didn't think she'd fall asleep again, but she did. She woke up again at 7:30 AM.
Night #3: She slept through until 3:15 AM. I wasn't sure what to do, since she'd gone longer without eating the night before, so I fed her. She slept until 6 AM.
Night #4: She slept from 7 PM-5:30 AM without eating! I fed her just as it was growing light out, and she slept until 7:30.
Night #5: My worst night I think. Now that I'm used to the fact that she can sleep until 5-ish, I was really disheartened when she woke up at 3:15. I went in over and over again, determined not to feed her. After an hour and a half, of visits according to the "official" rules, my husband was pushing me to feed her, and I was in crisis in my room. She was still wailing. Just as I was about to break down, the crying stopped and she went to sleep. I don't know if I can do this…
Night #6: She cried at midnight and I went in to help her get off her belly. She went back to sleep. She woke up again at 4 AM and I wasn't sure if I should feed her, since other than the freak night when she slept until 5:30, my official threshold was more like 3:30 or 4, so I fed her. She slept until 6:15.
Night #7: Whoohoo! I think I'm in the home stretch. My daughter slept from 6:45 PM until 5:30 AM without waking once. I fed her and she slept until 7:30. Sleep, glorious sleep!
So there it is, my sleep saga, explained. It was quick and not too painful. If you're thinking of taking the plunge, I say, do it! Who knows, you might be sleeping more than two hours at a time in a week, too…
How to Get a Baby to Sleep Through the NightTuesday, June 23rd, 2009
For exhausted parents everywhere, babies can be divided into two categories: sleepers and non-sleepers. After 8 months of waking up at all hours of the night, one thing was abundantly clear to me: I did not, by any stretch of the imagination, have a sleeper. Working at Education.com, I have some of the best experts in the world willing to take my phone calls. So I decided to bring in the big guns, two gurus who make a living teaching parents like me how to get a baby to sleep through the night. I'm a few days in now, and incredibly enough, it's working.
First, some background. I met my sleep gurus, Noelle Cochran, PsyD and Lele Diamond, MFT, both specialists in infant and toddler mental health and child development, because I was writing a story on preschoolers and kindergarteners who refuse to stay in bed. They run a Bay Area practice called Symbio but parents from across the country come to them for help… especially with sleep.
When I decided I was done waking up multiple times per night, I knew they were the ones to go to for advice. What I didn't know, was how fast things could change. In just a few days, my baby went from waking up 4-5 times a night, to sleeping from 7 PM- 5:15 AM. I haven't had this much sleep since George W. Bush was President…
What they advised me to do to get my baby to sleep worked so quickly, and so dramatically, that it would be just plain mean not to share. Here, with their blessing, is exactly what they told me:
The 10 Things You Need to Know to Get a Baby to Sleep Though the Night
- Understand why what you're doing is important. Listening to your baby cry is incredibly difficult for most parents. Cochran and Diamond emphasize, though, that the process of training a baby to sleep through the night isn't a selfish endeavor. True, many parents try it because they're plum exhausted. But what's really going on is a passing of the torch. "It's a transition between you soothing her by picking her up and her learning how to soothe herself." Cochran says.
- Lay the groundwork for success. Decide on a date to start and mark it on the calendar so you'll commit to it. If you're doing this with a partner decide in advance who will go in to baby in the middle of the night. Plan things out ahead of time, so you're not trying to decide what to do at 3 AM, when you're exhausted.
- Close the kitchen and choose a sleep threshold. If your child is older than 6 months and you're still feeding her multiple times per night, it's time to close the kitchen. "Yes" Diamond says, "She will be hungry for a night or two, but her body will adjust and she'll learn to get more of her calories during the day." Cochran and Diamond don't recommend going cold turkey. Instead, they recommend phasing out the feedings. "Pick a time in the middle of the night, for example, midnight, and commit to the fact that before midnight you will not feed you're your child when she cries," Diamond says, "Then every two or three nights, move the boundary back by two hours." For example, move it to 2 AM, then 4 AM, then 6 AM. "If you pull a feeding," she says, "Your child is going to be hungry, but you need to distinguish between a physical need and a habitual need."
- Go in based on the cry, not based on the clock. Most sleep training books advocate going in to your child at timed intervals, such as every five minutes, then extending those intervals gradually. Cochran and Diamond say to ignore the clock and focus on the cry. "On the first night, at the first cry, go in within the first five minutes, so your baby knows you hear her," Cochran says. After that, and forever more, go in somewhere between 5-25 minutes, right at the height of the baby's cry. Before you open the door to the nursery, listen to the quality of cry—if it's deescalating or starting and stopping, your baby is starting to self-soothe. Don't go in unless the cry starts to work up again.
- Don't stay too long. The ideal length of time is between two seconds and one minute. Never stay longer than a minute.
- Eliminate the pacifier. Sometime between four and six months, the physical need for sucking goes away. If your baby is older than that and still using a pacifier, the challenge is getting to the point where she doesn't need you to help. "If she can find the pacifier and put it in her own mouth, I'm okay with it," Cochran says, "But it's not okay for you to have to come in during the night to put it in for her." Start working on putting it in her hand for her, rather than in her mouth. And have a plan for phasing it out completely. They don't recommend doing that at the same time as the rest of the sleep training, though! One thing at a time.
- Don't expect to calm baby down. When a parent goes in to the room, they're often hoping that going in will soothe their child, Diamond says. But it's important to have realistic expectations. Not only will you likely not make your baby stop crying, but the crying is likely to jack up, not lessen, since you're refusing to do what your baby wants, which is to pick her up or feed her. The point of going in is to say "I get it, you're upset, but I know you're okay. Nothing has gone wrong. It's not that I don't hear you. But I know you can do this and I'm here to support you." Parents often say, "This doesn't help—I made it worse by going in." What they need to understand is that going in is not meant to soothe the baby, just to reassure her.
- Know there's no tough love required. Although the sleep books often warn parents not to talk to their child or make eye contact, Cochran and Diamond disagree. "You can look at them, talk to them, say you love them, "Diamond says, "Eye contact is okay. Patting is okay. Some kids hate to be touched or talked to, so know your kid tempermentally", but if you think it will help, feel free to do it, as long as you don't pick them up. As for going in the room, you can phase out these visits whenever feels good to you, Cochran says.
- Set a clear boundary and stick to it. When a baby cries, she's signaling you. There's a contest going on. Your baby is saying, "I'll cry to make you do what I want you to do," Diamond says. And when you start sleep training, you're changing all the rules. That's why it's important to keep what you do consistent, so she knows what to expect. "Picking her up sometimes but not others, or rocking her to sleep when you're at your wits end, but not at other times, isn't fair to her and it actually makes things harder on her," Diamond says. Once she knows, "Okay, I can get you to visit me, but I won't get rocked or nursed to sleep," she can learn how to soothe herself.

School's Out!!!Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Yep. It's true. School's out.
And whether that statement makes your heart sink, stop, or soar, there's no getting around it – summer is here!
I'm so excited to announce the Education.com 2009 Summer Activities Challenge – a free program designed to help parents keep their kids sharp during the summer break while also reminding them that learning can be really fun! Oh, and there's also a chance for you to score some great stuff… Families who complete the Challenge by August 31st will be entered to win a Dell Latitude 2100 Netbook or one of 100 LEGO Creator Mini Sets.
As a mom staring down the barrel of eleven loooonnngggg weeks of summer break, I'm really excited to have this new way to help my kids stay busy, have fun, and avoid the summer slide this year. We've already got two activities under our belt! My boys were blown away when we made fireworks on our kitchen counter last night. Seriously…that's one you should all check out. And I'm sure their dad will be thrilled to unwrap his Duct Tape Wallet on Sunday (shhhh….)
So don't fret, participating in the Summer Activities Challenge will make the summer zoom by. And when that beautiful yellow school bus shows up next fall to take your kids off your hands again, you may be able to curl up on your quiet couch with a shiny new laptop!
Good luck!
