Because Thanksgiving was right around the corner the best thing to cook were a couple of chickens. (not my choice but I was out voted).
I had the butcher remove the backbones, wishbones and keel bones.
The chickens with salt, pepper and some old bay (if I do the old bay again Ill use more, I couldn't taste it on the finished chickens).
The chickens back in an egg being smoked @ 225
The finished chickens. I cut one into eighths for serving and saved the other for reheating/sandwiches. Due to the low temp the skin was rubbery - but thats healther for me as I didn't eat it The meat was moist and smokey.
Next time Ill see if smoke roasting (say 350 or above) imparts enough smoke flavor for my liking.

After taking care of various family and holiday activities last Saturday and Sunday we were able to spend Monday at home, so I grilled some Jucy Lucys for lunch and a couple of porterhouse steaks for dinner.
For the burgers I started by lightly cooking and then cutting up some bacon, which then went into the burgers with some garlic & dill cheddar cheese. Each Jucy Lucy was made from 8 ounces of ground beef and after pressing the patties together I wrapped them with bacon strips.
Then it was off to a hot grill. Too bad the nice grill marks got covered by a piece of cheese!
I was very happy with the results but a little surprised that the cheese, which has good but not overpowering flavor by itself, wasn't as noticeable as I thought it would be. I guess I should've used more!
After lunch we worked up our dinner appetites by mowing the lawn but it still took until almost 7pm to be hungry again. The night before I had seasoned the steaks with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder.
The steaks were a nice end to the weekend and there were even enough leftovers for lunch the next day.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 1.31.13
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed that pretty much lives up to its name with this pic alone. Apparently the 'Revolver Golden God' is some unfortunate combination of jaundice and gingivitis. We've also got Leighton Meester's front butt, which clearly takes a backseat to the real thing and we learn that Eva Longoria has been a secret Muslim this whole time. Who knew? Got another question for you. What's more humiliating, being Tara Reid or the guy breaking his neck to check out her ass?
Trick question! The answer is the guy banging his grandmother because it beats the hell out of working,

A new friend of mine has an adorable little Dalmation puppy. Today Baby B and I headed to Walmart to check out their selection of puppy treats, toys, neccessities and gift ideas. We'd attempted this one day last week but the stock was very low at our store so we scrapped the mission and decided to give this a go today. Given the holiday season, I anticipated finding some holiday themed goodies, and I wasn't wrong. I wanted to create a little puppy care kit for my friend for her pup, and fill it with necessities and frivolities for her little poochie.
I guess because we often make treats for our Tobey that I don't often check out the aisle where dog treats are- I couldn't believe how big the variety and selection were!! Tons of brands, flavors, textures, packaging sizes, and more. One thing I liked was the range of pricing- you can find treats for very little and gourmet treats for a lot more. Our local Walmart doesn't seem to carry Milo's Kitchen, which I was very disappointed to find, because it was something I specifically was looking to include in my puppy care kit. Some of the Milk-Bone® Dog Treats boxes had coupons (check your local newspaper the week of December 11 for a money saving coupon on Milk-Bone® Dog Treats!) for $2 off of a Pup-peroni or Milo's Kitchen purchase but either they were 100% sold out or really just don't carry this brand!! I was disappointed, because I wanted to grab some for Tobey's stocking as well.
The first thing we noticed when we hit the pet department were Angry Birds dog toys. Now, I know what that is but I've never played (and won't- I know I'll be hooked right away!!) but I wasn't sure if my friend does, so we passed on those. I did snap a photo. They are fun!! If you have an Angry Birds fan in your house, and a pet, definitely worth a look.
For treats, I wasn't sure where to start, so I went with basic Milk Bone treats for Puppy. Can't get more basic than that, and can't go wrong with Milk Bone. That's what my mom always got for our dogs over the years, until she started making her own treats. After that, I decided to get what looked interesting or fun. I found these to be hilarious and grabbed a box for our dog too.
We headed to the toy department next, or rather, the pet toy aisle. Baby B became obsessed with a rubber chicken and I just found it way too loud, but she kept trying. I found this adorable (and natural-made) Hedgehog and decided we were NOT leaving the store without it!! We found all kinds of toys for all different sizes and breeds of dogs, in a huge range of pricing. We ultimately decided a pull toy made from rope would be a great way to go- every dog I've had in my life has loved a good game of tugging on a rope so why won't this pup? Plus its good for them when they are teething so they won't spend time chewing shoes (hopefully).
I was very tempted to get some doggie "accessories" that are by no means a necessity but tons of fun, but the fact is, I'm not 100% sure if my friend would put her dog in them…no matter how funny. Dog necklaces, shoes, slippers, sweaters, hats, seasonal attire…I've seen these things on dogs and in magazines, and on television/movies but never in Walmart (although I haven't looked).
Here's where YOU come in!!
But you see, I'm kind of stuck. I kind of feel like I should add more to this basket…so I'm not going to show you a finished product, because I simply don't have one…close, but not quite. Can you help me? What should I get? Dental care kit? More toys? Suggest away, friends. Please and thank you!! What I have: a few treats, several kinds of treats, and a few toys. I want YOUR feedback!! Your idea may be in my basket!!

Braves unable to hold early lead, fall in ninth
J. Upton's ninth-inning error proves costly as win streak ends
PITTSBURGH -- After watching Alex Wood position them for a sixth straight victory, the Braves played two innings that might have been uglier than most of those experienced while they were in the midst of a three-week tailspin that ended late last week.
Jordan Walden bounced a wild pitch during a game-tying two-run eighth and the Upton brothers nearly collided on what proved to be the key play in the ninth inning. By the time Gaby Sanchez gave the Pirates a 3-2 win with his game-ending sacrifice fly on Wednesday night, the Braves found themselves wondering which of their late-inning blunders actually proved to be the most fatal.
"It's a game we should have had. Woody pitched his [butt] off," David Carpenter said. "You couldn't ask for anything more. We needed a few things to go our way there and they didn't."
Though the box score credited him with the loss, Carpenter was essentially a rather innocent bystander, whose most egregious mistake was allowing Jordy Mercer to begin the ninth with a soft single. Andrew McCutchen then popped out before Starling Marte produced what appeared to be the second out until Justin Upton's attempt to get out of B.J. Upton's way led to the ball bouncing out of his glove.
Suddenly, the Pirates, who had been held scoreless and to three hits during the first seven innings, had runners at second and third with one out in the ninth.
"B.J. is playing the gap and I'm playing straight up and there was a huge gap," Justin Upton said. "We covered some ground. We just couldn't get there. ... I saw [B.J.]. There was nothing we could do. That ball was literally right between where both of us could get to it. It was just perfect placement."
When Sanchez followed with his sacrifice fly to deep center field, the Braves found themselves dealing with the imperfect conclusion to a night that turned in a hurry. Along with bidding adieu to their five-game winning streak, the Braves fell seven games behind the division-leading Nationals, who have won nine straight games. Maybe the Braves should have known this night was doomed when they lost a half-game in the Wild Card standing because the Giants became the first team to have a protest upheld since 1986. By the end of the night, the Giants sat 1 1/2 games in front of the Braves in the battle for the second Wild Card entry.
"We can't stop," Justin Upton said. "Games like this are going to happen. We've just got to keep our heads up and keep going."
Wood, who has a 1.89 ERA in his past five starts, certainly had no reason to be ashamed about the effort he made while matching up against Gerrit Cole. The 23-year-old southpaw exited the seventh having retired 16 of the previous 17 hitters he had faced.
With his pitch count at 90, Wood said he still felt fresh. But he got himself into immediate trouble when he opened the eighth by issuing Sanchez a five-pitch walk. He then threw two curveballs to gain an 0-2 count against left-hander Travis Snider. His decision to throw a third straight hook proved unwise when Snider turned on the hanger and painted the right-field line with a ground-rule double.
"If you want to go deep in games and be one of the best in the league, that can't happen in the eighth inning," Wood said. "It's inexcusable and it stinks. ... One minute you're carving them up, going along nice and then all of the sudden, you go back out there for the eighth and you hang a breaking ball and it's a whole new ballgame. Those things can't happen at this level."
Walden entered with two on and promptly allowed Sanchez to score on a Chris Stewart groundout. The setup man's bid to keep the tying run on base died as he threw three consecutive sliders to left-handed pinch-hitter Neil Walker. The first was a strike and the second was blocked by Evan Gattis. The third bounced in front of the plate leaving Gattis essentially defenseless as Snider scored the tying run.
"You hate to end a game like this because there was a lot of good stuff," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "The wild pitch, I don't think Gattis ... he blocked the [heck] out of the one before that. The other one that got away, that was a tough block."
Once the ugly conclusion was complete, the Braves were not thinking about the fact that Jason Heyward had tallied two more runs from the leadoff spot or that Justin Upton had extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a first-inning RBI single off Cole.
Instead, they could not overlook that they had literally let one slip away.

Nissan Leaf Base Model Price Drops by More Than $6,000 to $28,800
Tiffany Kaiser
January 15, 2013 3:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The drop in prices are mainly due to the fact that Nissan has moved Leaf production from Japan to Tennessee
Nissan's Leaf
just experienced a dramatic price drop, making it the cheapest five-seater electric vehicle (EV) in the U.S. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said the price of the base model 2013 Leaf has been cut by $6,400. Last year's base model went for $35,200, and now, the 2013 Leaf S will sell for $28,800 to start before a $7,500 federal tax credit (and any applicable state credit/rebate) is applied.
A couple of other Leaf models have seen a price cut as well. The Leaf SV will drop from last year's price of $35,200 to $31,820 this year. The Leaf SL is also going from $37,250 last year to $34,840 this year.
"With nearly 50,000 Leafs on the road globally, we are the leaders in zero emissions vehicles and our class-leading product just got better," said Billy Hayes, Global vice president of Leaf sales for Nissan. "From the very outset, Nissan has continuously advanced and refined the affordable zero emissions vehicle ownership experience. Now customers won't have to pay a premium for owning a green car that's really fun to drive, and that's exciting."
2013 Nissan Leaf
The drop in prices is mainly due to the fact that Nissan has moved Leaf production from Japan to Tennessee. It also has its lithium-ion batteries and motors manufactured there. Nissan announced that it began Leaf production at a new plant in Smyrna, Tennessee last Thursday. It will build the Leaf and gasoline vehicles in this plant, while building batteries at a separate plant next door. The plant is the result of a 2010 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan for $1.4 billion. According to the DOE, Nissan can build up to 150,000 Leafs and 200,000 batteries annually at the Tennessee plants
Nissan's Leaf had a rough time last year as far as sales and performance goes. In July 2012, Leaf owners in Arizona complained that their
EVs were losing significant battery capacity
in the desert's high heat. Nissan
responded by basically saying that this was normal
and promised more open communication with owners of the Leaf EV.
Later, Nissan had to admit that it
wasn't going to hit its sales mark for 2012
, which was 20,000 Leafs. Nissan only sold 9,819 Leafs for the whole year -- less than half of its goal, and only 1.5 percent higher than the number it sold in 2011.
"It seems as though my state-funded math degree has failed me. Let the lashings commence." -- DailyTech Editor-in-Chief Kristopher Kubicki

Spotlight Recipes: Simple Smoothiesby Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, March 9, 2009
Smoothies are a healthy dieter's best friend, but not all are created equal. Here are tips for creating a light and satisfying drink — all in five minutes or less.
The Base
Deciding the base of your smoothie is essential for keeping those calories down. Whole milk contains 150 calories per cup and 5 grams of saturated fat. Using fat-free (skim) milk cuts 65 calories and eliminates practically all the saturated fat.
With 130 calories per cup, soy milk is another option. Look for light soy milk, which comes in plain, chocolate and vanilla flavors and has only 70 calories per cup. Silken tofu also works well to give smoothies thickness and a great thickness. The tofu will pick up the flavors you mix it with — so make no faces until you've tried it (that's my rule!).
For frothier smoothies, use a small amount of flavored sorbet. Ice is also a great option that will save you calories so you can add other goodies to your smoothie.
The Mixers
Fruit combinations really make a smoothie. Try a combo of various berries or tropical fruit blended together. Add a splash of fruit juice to add more flavor — for example, add 1/4 cup pomegranate juice to strawberries and peaches.
Fresh fruit always works, but beware of the frozen ones. Some packages have added sugars — check your list of ingredients. You can also freeze fresh fruit. Freeze a sliced banana overnight and it'll be ready for a morning drink.
The Protein
If you're recharging post-workout or want to try a smoothie for breakfast, you want some extra protein. Try adding a tablespoon of peanut butter or a scoop of whey or soy protein powder. Choose a protein powder without added herbs, chemicals or artificial sweeteners. Don't overdo it with powders, though — it can create a grainy, chalky texture.
Be Creative
Experiment with different foods to create different flavors. Avocado adds texture and healthy fats — just add a sliver since it's a high-calorie fruit. Add whole grains such as rolled oats or cooked quinoa. One of my all-time favorite smoothies I had overseas featured cooked quinoa mixed with various melon juices. Try flaxseeds for some omega-3 fats or ground instant coffee, a shot of espresso or a dash of cocoa powder for an extra kick.
- Smoothie recipes to try:
- Melon Smoothie
- Blueberry Blast Smoothie
- Orange-Banana Smoothie

Samardzija solid through eight frames, but gets edged
Starter gives up just three runs, strikes out five and walks none
SEATTLE -- Athletics manager Bob Melvin wasn't surprised when he learned the Mariners pushed ace right-hander Felix Hernandez back a day in the rotation so he could open Friday's series against Oakland.
Given the 2010 American League Cy Young winner's history against the A's, it likely wasn't a surprise either when Hernandez outdueled right-hander Jeff Samardzija, as Oakland fell, 3-2, on Friday night at Safeco Field.
Hernandez entered 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA in three starts against the Athletics this season and 17-7 with a 2.64 ERA against Oakland in 32 career starts. With a jumbo-sized "King's Court" section waving yellow "K" cards, he proceeded to hold Oakland to two runs over eight innings while striking out nine -- all while upstaging Samardzija's eight-inning complete game.
The A's rallied in the ninth inning against Seattle closer Fernando Rodney. Catcher Derek Norris worked a one-out walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch, then to third on a Yoenis Cespedes flyout to right field. But Rodney struck out second baseman Nick Punto on a borderline 3-2 pitch to end the game.
Punto immediately slammed his helmet to the ground, and was subsequently ejected by home plate umpire James Hoye. Melvin came out of the dugout to argue and was ejected, too.
"Just look at it," Melvin said of the final strike. "Tough way to end the game."
"I thought it was a little up, a little in," Punto added. "It's just one of those where the heat of the moment gets to you a little bit. It was a big at-bat and a very tough at-bat. …I felt like I put myself in a pretty good position to extend that inning and it just didn't work out."
What did Rodney think of the pitch?
"All of my pitches are strikes," he said.
The A's were in position to steal a win late only because they got to Hernandez early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning when utility man Stephen Vogt launched an 0-2 pitch into the right field seats for his fourth home run of the year. The solo blast also extended Vogt's hitting streak to a career-high 11 games. Later in the inning, shortstop Jed Lowrie tacked on a run with an RBI single back up the middle to make it 2-0.
So far, so good.
But the Mariners got one back when designated hitter Logan Morrison led off the second inning with a solo home run to right-center field and added another in the third when right fielder Endy Chavez hit a sacrifice fly, which tied the game.
When center fielder James Jones lined a two-out double in the sixth inning, then second baseman Robinson Cano followed with another, it gave Seattle a 3-2 lead. Cano's double came on a fastball on the inner half of the plate. He somehow used an inside-out swing to fight it off and it landed just fair down the left-field line.
"He made a really good pitch right there," Melvin said of Samardzija.
"He wasn't getting anything good, I'll tell you that much," Samardzija said. "We were just looking to mix some pitches that looked like strikes. …he was aggressive early and put the bat on the ball. You tip your hat to a guy like that and remember that next time."
The result gave Seattle the go-ahead run, and it held up, as the A's fell to 58-35 on a warm night where Samardzija nearly matched Hernandez pitch-for-pitch.
Oakland acquired the right-hander and starting pitcher Jason Hammel in a July 5 trade that sent prospect Addison Russell, outfielder Billy McKinney, right-handed pitcher Dan Straily and a player to be announced or cash to the Cubs.
Samardzija won his Oakland debut Sunday, allowing one run over seven innings as the A's beat the Blue Jays. Facing Hernandez on Friday, the imposing 29-year-old, the former star wide receiver at Notre Dame, was dominant and efficient, scattering five hits and allowing just three runs.
"You can't give up those runs -- especially when your team gives you a 2-0 lead right off the bat," he said. "You got to do what you can to protect that lead and not give Felix the chance to get back in that game."
Samardzija struck out five and walked none.
"The only bad pitch he made was probably the one Morrison hits the home run on," Melvin said.
Oakland squandered another chance to give him run support in the fifth when John Jaso hit a two-out double, then Vogt, who finished 2-for-3 to lift his average to .376, followed with a walk, but All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson flew out to right field to end the inning.
"Typically, with good pitchers you get them before they get in a rhythm, as was the case," Melvin said. "But we couldn't do anything after."

9 am (1 event)
Marketers Network Meeting (9:00 am - 1:00pm)
Location: Credit Union Center, Marlborough, MA
Guest speaker, League President Paul Gentile, is going to speak about getting the word out about credit unions and using the credit union difference to attract attention from both the media and the consumer. He brings unique insight into the task of communicating the credit union message. For more than ten years, he served as the editor of the nation's premier credit union trade publication, Credit Union Times. So if anyone knows what a credit union has to do to attract the media's attention, he does. Since leaving the paper, he served as the President of the New Jersey Credit Union League for five years, where he created a credit union consumer advocacy program called "Banking You Can Trust." This program put New Jersey on the top of consumer searches for credit unions. Then at CUNA he was responsible for launching a broad ranging public relations effort that raised the profile of credit unions nationwide using earned and social media.
After Paul's session, there will be a roundtable discussion with marketing colleagues
Meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. (registration/coffee/networking at 9:00 a.m.) and conclude with lunch at noon.
The registration fee is $50 per person.

AN elderly man from Flackwell Heath has been reported missing and police have said they are concerned for his welfare.
Bruce Adams, 80, was last seen at his home by his wife at around 3am this morning.
Sometime in the early hours, Mr Adams has left his home and the area in his brown Nissan Note.
PC Duncan Gallagher said: "Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras have shown his vehicle entering the London area earlier today.
"Bruce suffers from dementia and diabetes, so we are very concerned for his welfare and would urge him or anyone who knows of his whereabouts to contact us as soon as possible."
Mr Adams is white, around 6ft tall, bald and with a thin build. He is believed to be wearing green trousers, a grey button-up top and canvass-type shoes.
He is also disabled so requires the use of a walking stick to get about.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101.

Some years ago I built a web site with a searchable database for a client. The database contains information about subscribers' products, and visitors can enter search criteria and view matching products. Nothing unusual about that, of course.
Now my client would like me to convert the site to WordPress. The client seems to be hoping that WP will handle the searching as well as display of the information. I think it will still need dedicated PHP scripting for the search, even if display is via WP templates. Not classing myself as a WP expert (though I've used it), I want to be sure of my facts before reverting to my client.
Can anyone offer advice, please ?
I'd want to know a little more about the search criteria and process but it sounds to me like a job for Drupal and more specifically a job for Drupal's "Views" module. Views is a bit of a "swiss-army-knife" module that can be used to accomplish numerous features, one being a way to build custom search interfaces. If you can import the database records as content with various attributes, you can use Views to search those attributes and create a data set of results ordered any way you like.
Thanks for your reply, Andrew,
Unfortunately (perhaps) Drupal isn't under discussion.
The site was built using custom templates, CSS, PHP and of course MySQL. It works perfectly well, though it's six years old and has suffered from a number of ad hoc additions. It needs a redesign. The client is familiar with WordPress and inclined to see it as a panacea.
I have told him that (in my view) even if if there was a new WordPress theme and the static pages were delivered by WP there would still be need for custom code for the search and display functions, which is a major part of the site. I want to be absolutely sure on this point before pressing on. From what you say about Drupal it would seem that even there custom code would be required.
The current site can be seen at Holiday Mull
I'd suggest that Wordpress probably isn't the right tool for the job here.
As awasson says you'd be better off with a content system that's set up to handle multiple attributes - think things like product code, colour, size, weight, documentation, downloadable files, description, multiple categorisation, relationships with other products...and so on.
Drupal is a possible candidate but consider other systems such as ExpressionEngine or Craft that are easily capable of managing that sort of data...
Hey Tim,
Actually, if it were built using Drupal + Views, I think you would mitigate the need for custom code; perhaps entirely but I'll have a look at the existing site to see for sure.
The nice thing about Drupal is that it's a step up from a CMS and can be used as a foundation to build pretty much anything you can imagine. I came from the custom build background and it took a while for me to figure out how to do things in Drupal but I've got a pretty good handle on it now. There is a lot that can be done without writing a lick of code which is good for maintainability but if you need to, there is a pretty decent API to make Drupal do the heavy lifting. I'll have a look at the existing and see if I can see anything that would act as a roadblock.
Ok, just had a look at the search feature. Definitely a candidate for Views and I don't really see any need for custom coding at the moment.
Each location would be a piece of content (called an accommodation or something intuitive). I'd have fields to cover all the important bits and I'd add location fields so that you could geocode each "accommodation" in case you want to show them on a GMap or something as well. For the criteria in the search, I'd create taxonomy lists for each section (type, location, facilities) and finally, I'd build a "view" using the Views module that would allow searching and displaying the results. Even the listings from the menu (hostels, campsites, self-catering, etc...) would just be links to a view that would take the appropriate attributes and deliver the appropriate results.
* Views is that general purpose module I mentioned earlier that allows you to create displays of content based on either fixed criteria like, content type: posting date, taxonomy terms, filtering if various fields (titles, body, etc....) or user selected criteria from text fields or drop-downs, radio buttons or checkboxes.
I think I'd use the feeds module to import the content into the site by exporting it to a CSV file, massaging it a little and then importing it. That can be a little tricky to get right but it's generally more efficient that entering manually.
As far as ease of use for the owner goes, I've built a reputation for building Drupal sites that are easier to manage than Wordpress. It's not difficult to do. You just need to configure the site with the right WYSIWYG tools, create editing roles with reduced access to admin areas they don't need and offer some training.
That looks like a cool project.
I would recommend using the migrate module for migrating the content. The migrate module is increasingly more powerful than feeds though it is only an API. In theory though you can use that API to write a direct database to database migration instead of relying on feeds and all the problems you might run into with that method of content migration. Custom code is probably going to be required either way to get everything perfect as the client wants it. If you go that route digging into the d2d module that was created to achieve drupal to drupal migrations is a good place to start in writing migration for your custom cms data to drupal.
Thank you to everyone who's responded. You've possibly answered my question, but only indirectly !
I asked if the project could be undertaken in WordPress without custom coding for the searches. The consensus seems to be that it could be done in Drupal without custom coding. The unstated implication is that coding would be needed in WordPress.

Topic: Stay the course. Update from our consult visit.
Our visit to Memorial Sloan Kettering on Friday was good, not great. The doctor was very pleased with Lynn's progress. He said a few times how much better she looked and how important it was that she was feeling better. He noted clear signs of reduced size of her liver tumors. He also agreed with the plan of more rounds of Gem/Cis treatment. We were glad about this part of the discussion.
What was a bit disappointing was our discussion regarding other options, trials, etc. He did not think Lynn was a candidate for their own trial with the hepatic pump because of the lymph nodes. Even though the inclusion info suggested a person with affected lymph nodes could still be considered. I am planning to contact the sponsor next week.
A second question regarding immunotherapy also led nowhere as he felt it had not shown positive results for GI/colon cancers. He was polite during all this and said we could look at these types of options down the road if chemo stops being effective. Then he said the dreaded phrase, which we all picked up on. He said this is about "quality of life". It felt to all of us that he was fully focused on the present. However, I can't stay in the present. I need to be looking for what's next. I believe we all had high expectations, maybe too high, so this discussion just didn't feel good.
Nothing has changed with this visit. We are still moving forward with three more cycles and hoping for continued improvement. This emphasizes even more to me that we drive our own plan as much as possible and look to these doctors for affirmation, consults, and administration, but not as our advocate. That's our job.

Our Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program helps babies who have undergone specialized heart care overcome the potential developmental challenges to which they are prone. We're recognized across the country for establishing the first cardiac Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program in the nation. Our team of specialists will monitor and foster your child's healthy development so he or she can live life to the fullest.
For many reasons, skills like talking, crawling, and playing can develop more slowly in children who have had heart surgery or care for complex congenital (present at birth) heart defects early in life. They can also be more susceptible to other medical conditions.
Our developmental experts, including a highly-specialized developmental pediatrician, nurses, and occupational, physical, and speech therapists, will stay close to your child, especially during the important first three years of life. They will work with you to monitor for developmental delays and encourage your child's abilities in many areas of life. We recommend that all children with complex heart disease or who undergo surgery as infants participate in follow-up even if doing well. Our team is skilled in detecting subtle signs of a deficit that may respond well to early therapy.
Neurodevelopmental Follow-up Program staff regularly will conduct a total assessment of your baby's growth and progress in all areas of development, also called "neurodevelopment." We like to see and evaluate children every six months through age 3, but you are welcome to participate in the program at any time. Each neurodevelopmental assessment will look at progress to date and keep track of milestones and measures in areas including:
As parents, you are vital members of your child's care team. After each assessment, program staff will share results and will send a report to both your baby's cardiologist and primary care doctor. The results will include an action plan of things you can do between visits to help boost your child's neurodevelopment.
Caring for a child undergoing treatment or recovering from a medical condition can be stressful for families, with or without developmental delays. Our team members are ready support you, as needed, with stress reduction strategies and relaxation techniques.
For children ages 4 and older, Herma Heart Center's pediatric psychologist can help parents with their child's transition into school. As necessary, the psychologist can work closely with school officials to educate them about your child's special care needs.
We recommend that children have an updated neurodevelopmental assessment at least once during the preschool, school-age, and adolescent years. Short-term psychotherapy services are available for children with behavioral or emotional difficulties related to their congenital heart disease.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Bernard Pierce ran for two early touchdowns and Chris Coyer threw for 169 yards and a touchdown to help Temple beat Wyoming 37-15 in the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday.
The Owls (9-4) had three interceptions - tying a New Mexico Bowl record - en route to the second bowl victory in school history.
The New Mexico Bowl was Temple's second bowl game in three years, but that 2009 game - a 30-21 loss to UCLA in the EagleBank Bowl in Washington - was the Owls' first bowl in 30 years. The Mid-American Conference East runner-up did not get a bowl invite last year despite going 8-4.
''Our team played real well. We played a team game,'' first-year Temple coach Steve Addazio said. ''Our starting point is playing great defense. That's the starting point of our program. We have a lot of pride in playing great defense.''
Sophomore Coyer, who also rushed for 71 yards, was selected the game's offensive MVP.
Coyer said Temple got a little worried at the end of the first half when Wyoming freshman Brett Smith threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Josh Doctson with 28 seconds left. But Coyer responded with a 61-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater moments later.
''We knew they had swung the momentum their way. It was a big touchdown for them,'' Coyer said. ''We weren't really sure if we were going to go for it or sit on it.''
Meanwhile, Smith was held to just 127 yards by a greedy Owls defensive line that preventing the Cowboys from getting anything started.
The loss dropped the Cowboys (8-5) to 6-7 in bowl games. It was a disappointed effort by Wyoming after the Cowboys won the 2009 New Mexico Bowl in double overtime, beating Fresno State 35-28.
''It was disappointing,'' Cowboys coach Dave Christensen said. ''We knew they were going to run the football, which they did.''

You can use ordinary breadcrumbs for the prawns, but the panko variety have a really great crunch.
A little finely sliced pickled ginger is also great through the honey soy sauce.
Sesame prawn cutlets with honey soy sauce
12 medium green (uncooked) king prawns, peeled
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
3 tbsp sesame seeds
sea salt
1 cup plain flour
5 eggs, lightly whisked
vegetable oil, for deep frying
Honey soy sauce
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
small knob fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated
1/2 long red chilli, seeds removed, finely diced
3 tsp fresh lime juice
Serves 4
To make the sauce, combine water, honey, soy sauce, ginger and chilli in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat, and stir in the lime juice. Check seasoning.
Use a small sharp knife to cut a slit along the back of each prawn (don't cut all the way). Use your fingers to gently open each prawn to sit flat. Keep tail intact.
Combine panko crumbs and sesame seeds in a bowl, and season to taste with salt. Place flour and eggs in separate bowls. Dip a few prawns at a time in flour until well coated, shaking off any excess, then in egg and then in the panko mixture, pressing firmly to coat.
Place in a single layer on a plate.
Add enough oil to a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2cm. Heat over medium heat. Cook the prawns in batches without crowding the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through and golden. Drain on a paper towel.
Repeat with remaining prawns. If necessary, add some extra oil to the frying pan, and bring back up to temperature before cooking the remaining prawns.
Serve the prawns on a platter with the honey soy sauce on the side.
Egg noodle salad with barbecue duck and hoisin dressing
500g fresh thick egg noodles
vegetable oil, for tossing
4 spring onions, cut into juliennes
2 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled, seeds removed, cut into juliennes
1 cup bean sprouts, tails trimmed
1 bunch enoki mushrooms, bases trimmed, separated
1 cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup garlic chives, cut to 1cm lengths
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
200g shredded duck meat, with skin on
Hoisin dressing
1/4 cup black vinegar
1 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
Serves 4
For the sauce, combine all ingredients and mix well. Check the balance is right.
Soak the noodles in boiling water until al dente. Drain and refresh in cold water and drain again. Toss with a little vegetable oil.
Combine noodles with all the vegetables and herbs, sesame seeds, duck meat and dressing. Toss to combine.
To serve, simply divide between four bowls.
Poached chicken wings can be fried till crisp and served with the honey soy sauce, as can crumbed and fried chicken breast strips.
Roast chicken and prawns are also good in the egg noodle salad. You can really use whatever you have available; I've even successfully replaced the noodles with spaghetti.
Something to drink
Pinot noir and duck have long been bedfellows. The trick here is to not clash with the hoisin sauce, which is rich, sweet and powerful. To build a platform for this dish to sit upon, try a 2011 Ata Rangi Crimson Pinot Noir ($29) from Martinborough, NZ.

This Forum has been archivedVisit the new Forums
Now that Season 1 is over, I think we need to reexamine how we're handling character biographies. I was following the True Blood Wiki format of updating each character's bio by episode, but I think this is proving unworkable due to GoT's much vaster cast size. At the moment we're providing a plot summary for each episode, then going back and basically doing another mini plot summary for every single character, faction and location that crops up in the episode. It's an enormous amount of work and simply means we end up with a ton of redundant information. It's also pretty much impossible for us to stay up-to-date whilst the season was in progress (for example, we did a good job of keeping Eddard's article up to date, but at one point Sansa's was about six episodes out of date). Also, whilst it's fine for dead characters, the characters who survive for many seasons to come are going to end up with articles colossal in size. I propose that we demolish the detailed character episode updates and in the 'In the series' section have a more concise summary of what has happened. We source each character page, using our own episode summaries as sources. So for Robb Stark we have a paragraph or two covering all of Season 1 (rather than ten short paragraphs, one for each episode, separately listed) covering only the salient points and then source-link the events to the episode summaries, where more detailed information can be found.
This is a substantial change to how we're handling the characters at the moment, but I think in the long run it will be easier to keep the pages updated and will keep them concise and prevent us from having to write out the same events ten times over. Keeping everying updated under the existing system for Season 1 was chaotic, half-hearted and didn't really work, so I think we definitely need an alternate system. What do people think?--Werthead 20:46, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
- You're right. What we're doing now boils down to logging a character instead of properly describing it. Making a concise description and adding season episode numbers as references would be a vast improvement. - KarinS 21:34, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
- I concur we need to trim them down. LordofOnions (Talk) 02:36, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, it's a lot of work as it is at moment, but this a wiki and the main reason to look up things regarding the characters is to look up in which episode something happened to the character (at least that how I use it). If it happens that during the season not all entries are up to date, then there will be almost a year after it to catch up. And more work means that more people can work on the wiki, which means that the wiki can grow, but should it treated like a bonsai fewer people will join and without detailed contend there is less reason to look up stuff here. - Drudenfusz(diplomacy) 11:02 (UTC), July 5, 2011
- If we follow Werthead's suggestion to annotate richly, using episode numbers as source, would that address your concern? - KarinS 16:53, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Right, I've carried out the change to the Robb Stark page. I like it a lot. It's more concise and shortens the article, removes a lot of dead space and streamlines things without losing necessary detail. I think it's a definite improvement. What do people think?--Werthead 10:16, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Using the episodes as reference works very well, and it's a much better read in this way - less fragmentary. I'm all for it. - KarinS 12:39, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
- I think it would be a good idea to do both. I agree that the main character pages will be more readable and accessible (and easier to keep going) if a summary style is used. However, there is information that will be harder to gather for users by doing so. For the boardwalk empire wiki I've suggested having a separate subarticle for each character in each season. The main page keeps a summary style and the separate article goes into the minutiae of their appearance in each episode.--Opark 77 13:39, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I've been through and removed the episode subsections on every one of our character articles.--Opark 77 07:19, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

Moose's homers are wakeup shots against Sox
Third baseman's two blasts, four-run sixth inning help even series
CHICAGO -- Finally, there were home runs. There was even a four-run inning. Let's see, what else was different for the Royals?
Oh yes, a victory. And that arrived emphatically, 7-1, over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night as Mike Moustakas blasted two homers with 20,428 fans at U.S. Cellular Field.
It had been a bleak period for the Royals. They not only had lost four straight games since the All-Star break, but they'd also scored just one run in their last 24 innings.
"It's a big relief," manager Ned Yost said. "We needed to do it, coming back off the All-Star break. I really feel like we're a really good second-half team and, saying that, we go 0-4 in the first four games of the second half. So it was big to get a win and we've got to move forward."
The Royals had not hit a home run since way back on July 10 when, by the way, they were crushed by the Tigers, 16-4. Billy Butler and Eric Hosmer each hit one out, but they'd gone seven games without one since.
Then, Moustakas cranked up on a 3-2 pitch from White Sox right-hander Scott Carroll to start the second inning. The ball soared into the right-field seats.
Moose was just warming up. He ripped a single in the third inning and sent center fielder Adam Eaton racing to the center-field wall to catch his long drive in the sixth.
And, in the eighth inning after Alex Gordon walked, Moustakas came up against left-hander Eric Surkamp and drove another ball into the right-field stands. That gave him 12 homers, the team high.
"Almost three homers and the one single that he hit was absolutely scalded," Yost said happily.
The White Sox got a home run of their own as Adam Dunn led off their fourth with a blast to left field off left-hander Bruce Chen. That made it 1-1.
Then, of all things, the Royals conjured up a four-run sixth inning that sent Carroll packing.
Butler started it with a double off the right-center field wall and he scored as Raul Ibanez pulled a double into the right-field corner. Alcides Escobar's bunt rolled for a single and Nori Aoki walked, ball four being a passed ball that let Ibanez scoot home.
Carroll was excused in favor of Javy Guerra, who fielded Jarrod Dyson's bunt down the third-base line and threw the ball past first base. Escobar scored on the error and then Aoki trotted home on Omar Infante's sacrifice fly to right and it was 5-1.
Chen pitched five innings, allowing only the homer, and got the victory. It was the 82nd of his career, tying Chen with Yankees legend Mariano Rivera for the most wins by a Panamanian-born pitcher.
"He softens it up," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Chen. "Guys that can move it around, manipulate it in a way, cutting it in, running it away, making it really soft. He's never really in the middle of the plate. He's always all over the place. He's just deceptive for either side."
It was a steamy 86 degrees and Chen was feeling it. On his 89th pitch, Conor Gillaspie drilled a liner right at shortstop Escobar, who doubled off Alexei Ramirez at second base.
"For him to get Gillaspie to hit into the line-drive double play … was huge to get him through the fifth inning because he was gassed," Yost said.
Kelvin Herrera added two shutout innings and Wade Davis worked a scoreless eighth. Closer Greg Holland, who had not pitched since appearing in the All-Star Game, finished up with a one-hit ninth inning.
The Royals finished with 14 hits including two each by Dyson, Gordon, Ibanez and Aoki and, of course, Moustakas' three.
And, yes, Moustakas was very aware that the White Sox were celebrating Greek Heritage Night.
"I was telling everybody it was my day," he said.

Quote: Three times in the last four days (that I can remember), I have had dreams where I found myself responsible for the lives of a small group of children. In each dream, there is some sort of invasion going on and I find myself in the midst of it, trying to get these kids to safety.
Quote:Have you had any type of situations recently dealing with young children? Whether the be relatives, other students at school, church group...anything. Have you been in a confrontation recently?That's all I got for now.
Quote:No, I wouldn't care to analyze this, but I always find that dreams that usually stand out like this mean that you are working through some issue. The symbols in the dream are representative of the problem that you are trying to solve. And have you been reading Catcher in the Rye lately?-B
Quote:A "trick" which is worth trying is tying a coloured string round a finger before going to sleep and when the dream occurs, will yourself to look at that string; if you see that string, well, you just take it from there and see what happens. The danger is you may get trapped in that dream in the sense that you "awakens" in the dream itself and finding your way back into the 'real' awaken state that you stated off with. I suppose you will then have to fall asleep in that dream and try to awaken again "here"
Quote:If you can do this at will, wow, you probably can conquer time and space itself!
Quote:Who really knows? Maybe HE does, but HE is not talking, at least not to me.
Quote:A question -- do animals, insects, fish dream? They all have brains / minds, so why not?
Quote:I think it may be a heady combination of cheese eaten near bed time, and the new War of The Worlds movie trailer that is the problem here.
Quote:Seriously, sounds like a representation of fear of responsibility due to lack of self confidence. Try having a mental image of you kicking the soldiers tails with an AK47 as you drift off, the positive reinforcement may give you a better outcome, and subsequent better nights sleep.
Quote:FG, .One common paradigm for looking at dreams is to consider all of the roles or characters. In doing so think of each characher as and aspect of yourself. You the Soldier, You the Child, You the Defender. Dreams can be very unsettling. Just as in meditation disturbing images can come up. In meditation you just let them come and go and observe them. At different times in my life I v'e had very disturbing dreams. I wouldn't care to have some of them again but I feel that they can be a valuable part of psychological processing.
