Motherhood Mondays: A brilliant way to help new parents
A mutual friend had set up a Meal Train for them. Meal Train is an online calendar, where you can sign up for a night to bring the family dinner. The website features a list of their favorite foods (if you like to cook) and local restaurants (so if you live far away, you can send delivery).
On my friend's calendar, the first two weeks after her baby's birth were filled with friends bringing homemade meals (including lentil soup and crusty bread; chicken with potatoes; and spinach lasagna). The best part is that the busy new parents don't have to do anything. All the logistics are taken care of online. They can just cuddle their baby and wait for a delicious dinner to arrive.
How great is that? Have you ever heard of Meal Train?
P.S. 8 gift ideas for new parents, and a beautiful ring.

Yup! my friend just had a baby and someone set up a meal train for them. Not a fancy online one, but an old school style sign-up sheet at her Baby-Q (it was her second child, she didn't want another shower). I thought it was a brilliant idea. We sure could have used one when we had our baby!
(caribou emily)I read your blog title in my feed and right away thought, 'food delivery!!'. I totally think arranging food drop offs for new parents is THE BEST. My favourite memories are of nursing my newborn while chowing down on my friends vegetable lasagna. She brought me a huge one with both my babes. Love love love!
ReplyDeletemama in the city --that's so sweet. i agree, i remember every single food that people brought for toby's first few weeks. my friend leigh brought bean soup, a big salad and cookies; my friend abbey brought turkey sandwich fixings and an amazing gooey cheese; my friend corrie brought veggie pasta; alex's boss sent jeni's ice cream....etc etc....i remember the entire list!
so funny how important food is to overwhelmed new parents! it makes you feel nourished and taken care of :)We just had a baby 2 months ago & a friend did meal train for us. The only problem was that she set it up for the baby's actual birth date & he then arrived two weeks late, so we then gave people the option of rescheduling, which everyone did since they wanted to meet the baby. We also invited them to eat with us since we wanted/needed socialization time.
ReplyDeleteWe just had our little Emerson Arrow two weeks ago (today!), and he arrived a bit early, so I didn't have the stockpile of freezer meals I had planned on cooking in our last stretch of baby-free days.
A friend pulled together a meal train for us using takethemameal, and, yes, it's awesome that everyone can see what others are bringing. Since my husband had to go to work after just a few days at home, this has been wonderful for us. In the evenings, we can relax, he can get lots of baby time and - if I'm lucky - I can get a nap!
I am so grateful for how lovely our friends have been throughout this process, and the food contributions are completely the icing on the love cake!great idea! when one of my best friends had her baby, we all offered to bring meals, we did it via email so we knew who was bringing what and when, and since im in israel and she is in texas one of my other friends offered to make my "meal." it was very nice. but this website seams to be very organized and a great way to show support and help out new parents. love it!
fly farI struggled so much after my daughter was born. I had friends bring meals the weekend we came home, but then it was like I dropped off the face of the planet. I was so depressed, and since I was nursing I was hungry and thirsty all the time. I think I ate nothing but s'mores poptarts for weeks straight. If I ever have another baby, I'm going to set this up AND stock my freezer full of food.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I've never heard of Meal Train, but friends of mine that recently had a baby were totally taken care of by their friends and neighbors for the first three weeks. They even had a sign on their door asking food-bringers to please come inside and leave the dish on the table if everybody was sleeping :)
ReplyDeleteWe use a similar site all the time for new babes in our church and small group. foodtidings.com is another site. It is wonderful because it has listing of what the parents/kids are allergic to or do not like. Nursing mom could specify on the spice level and so forth. The site you mentioned may to the same. SO helpful. We didn
t really tell anyone about our first baby and were new to the church so we did not get many meals, but with my second we were well taken care of. Plus, my husband's work was able to join in. It was SO helpful, especially with two little ones at home.I don't know if it's a Southern thing, or a church thing, maybe both, but I've grown up doing this my whole life! My mom had a set meal that she'd always make to take to families. We loved it because it was the only time she'd make this one cake that we loved! When my little brother was born, we had food for weeks! Now that my friends have started having babies, it's been really fun to be able to take meals myself. I think that even more than the convenience of food, it helps people know that they're still loved, and gives some of the moms some adult interaction for the first time in days (we have a lot of friends married to traveling musicians)!
ReplyDeleteFriends have set up takethemameal for me after both of my boys were born. It is the best to get homemade meals and a quick visit from friends post-baby. I felt so loved.
An incredibly kind friend did our laundry one day after the birth of our second which was an unexpected and very much appreciated treat. She had us leave a bag of dirty clothes on the front porch and brought it back all cleaned, folded and bundled that night. I cried with appreciation. Such a treat!I can't believe there are people whose friends/family/church/work DON'T do this for them! It's such a life-saver when you have a new baby, an illness or death in the family, etc. We've even had friends organize meal schedules for families that are just going through a busy/stressful time.
ReplyDeleteLove this! When my boys were born friends and family brought us meals for two months! Such a blessing. I love returning the favor too. One friend just had surgery so I dropped a meal off the other day. My neighbor gave birth to her twins at only 23 weeks gestation. Poor babies were in the NICU for months. I brought them a meal once a week for three months. Such a special and simple way to help people.
ReplyDeleteYep! My work does this for new babies and other reasons (death in the family, etc)...
Although I know my husband and I personally wouldn't be interested in this because he's a very strict vegan (plant-strong) cook, and he loves cooking.
But when people came to see my first baby, some of my friends brought me lunch - yum! I've made a lot of hints that I would love java or cupcakes this time, haha.
http://blog.chron.com/madabouttown/This is just a given in the South! I've never heard of Meal Train, but my friends and I have always used TakeThemAMeal.com, and it's wonderful as well!
Another tip: don't have people sign up for every night of the week - food often gets wasted. Try just Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! Also, check ahead of time to see if the recipient would rather have the meal ready-to-eat or frozen to save!my friends set up a meal train for me when i had my second baby. we were leaving town a few months later, so i think we had an extra outpouring of love from our community. more and more friends signed up, and we had 6 weeks of meals delivered every other day for us. it was the best gift ever! some even brought breakfast for the next morning, others brought craft beers along, one gave us an entire chocolate coconut cake. it was incredible.
ReplyDeleteour friends just did this for us when our baby girl was born in july! yep, they used mealtrain.com and it was amazing. we ate so well for almost two weeks!!! our friends were thoughtful enough to even research healthy recipes for breastfeeding mamas and i was introduced to several new favorite meals (raw walnut tacos, for example, so delicious). we were treated like the king and queen of our community, my parents were blown away by the kindnesses of our friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm part of a mom's group and everyone someone's got pregnant and closer to the due date, we would organize cooking for them for the first 2 weeks after baby.
The mom-to-be and hub gets to write what type of food they'd like for us to cook (some are vegetarian, some prefer menu that are gluten-free, etc), for how many people (they may already have siblings) and we'd find anyone who'd volunteer to cook each of the food. Then we deliver the food while visiting with their family.
Done it twice already last year. Yes, it's free service, I thought it was a rather nice thing to do for moms. :DEvery mother of a newborn needs this! And you don't have to know the new family well to participate. This is one of those magical acts of kindness that makes everyone involved feel soooo good. I would only add that meal containers should always be disposable so that the parents of the newborn are not left with a mountain of dishes to return to people!
ReplyDeleteI've done this a million times for new families and people going through cancer treatment etc (yes, i'm a part of a faith community).
My tips:
*disposable containers
*i always take my meal frozen flat in a ziploc bag with clear directions so it doesn't take up too much space in their freezer(b/c sometimes there's leftovers from the night before)
I realize that I'm single so I get to bless many parents and families with this-I'm pretty famous for my teriyaki chicken or turkey sloppy joes, salad in a bag and comfort food chocolate cake. (If my married friends want to know how to assist me @ some point: on the very rare occasion that I am sick and stuck at home, I would be equally blessed to have a married friend offer to pick up some gingerale and meds for me.)Yep Meal Tran is great! I started a new moms ministry at my church and we opted to use Meal Baby instead since it was more secure. I totally wish I had something like this set up when I was pregnant. I remember hearing, "Oh when you have your baby everyone will be bringing you food and waiting on you hand and foot!" Nope not true for me - I was up and about right after I was discharged cooking meals and it was so so hard. Next time I'm freezing tons of meals in advance and now I try to help as many moms as I can in my circle who need the support I wanted so badly when I had my LO.
ReplyDeleteI guess I've heard of it - but not online or called that. Our friends, family, church community have just always done that. And not only for new babies, but post-surgery, after the death of a loved one, and other difficult or high-stress times. It's a bigger help than you realize until you're on the receiving end.
ReplyDeleteAmazing idea. My friends organized their own meal train after we had our son. It was exactly this - every night for two weeks someone showed up around 7-ish, cuddled our little one, fed us, and left enough leftovers for lunch the next day. It was the most wonderful gift they could give us and also took care of having to plan for people to visit and meet the baby.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely gesture, and I'm sure most of us would get tons of food and support from family. However, when some women in a circle of friends get food from other women without even a hint, while others in the circle may not get this same treatment--it causes some bitterness. Some "but I'm so nice, and if x, y, and z got whatever, why didn't I?" So then you feel like demanding equal treatment, but then you can't because you would KNOW that if you did get something it wasn't given voluntarily like it was the other women. Gah! It was something that was on my mind--did any of you not get food (or whatever) from friends in a time of need while other friends in your circle did?
ReplyDeleteprepare dinners for the family is a wonderful journey.
Just wanted to give you guys my two cents. This new patch is really great, it has (for me anyway) Diablo 3 Gold brought back feelings of the old series. I feel like its back to the monster-smashing treasure hunt that it should be. This has really made me enjoy the game almost like it was brand new again, I want to say thanks for not giving up despite the tide of negative criticism. Keep it up, I am at 150+ hours Diablo 3 items so even if I stopped today I feel I got my dollars worth!There are some discrepancies with game guide item rolls and actual rolls on in game items. Any word on if the guide or the actual item rolls are correct? IE Mempo of Twilight not getting the 170-200 stats roll as said in game guide.I've used Meal Train for friends who have had babies and also for harder times, like the loss of a parent or illness. After having a baby last year, I now take two meals. Sometimes two of the same thing (easy stacked enchiladas) or sometimes two different things, but one meal is cooked and the other is ready to freeze. Even if you just take a convenience food for freezing, when friends did that for us, I thought it was absolutely amazing. The other thing that I loved was when someone would bring the entire meal, down to some fancy soda or a couple bottles of beer! Finally, the best meals are the ones that come about six weeks after the baby. When everyone has forgotten about you and you need some company!
ReplyDeleteYes! We have used meal train for new babies many times as well as for other families in need of care. When our kids were born, they set it up for us to get a meal every three days, because most people make at least enough for two days' worth of food. We didn't have to think about dinner for two months that way!!! It was the best gift our friends could have given us.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what the first commenter said about Mormons doing this because it's SO TRUE!!! I live in a neighborhood with many Mormons an the second that someone has a baby, has surgery, has a death or anything, they are lining up to deliver meals. They have even done it to me and I find it so sweet. This really is part of their culture!
ReplyDeleteYou mean you don't have time to cook a gourmet, 3-course feast every night when you have a new baby? :) This is such a great idea! One less thing to think about, and doesn't food always make you feel so taken care of?
The Stylist QuoWhen we had our son my in laws drove up to Brooklyn from Maryland with a carload of groceries and home made food, with enough to freeze for later. We didn't have any friends with kids and only one of our friends anticipated how tough it would be for us to cook in the first few weeks and she brought over two amazing summer salads. It blew my mind and I cried grateful tears while eating them!
Now I have an amazing network of mama friends and bringing a meal (actually, we usually sign up for two) has become one of my favorite parts of becoming a parent. A whole home cooked meal is the very best gift you can give people who are so busy welcoming a new little life that they are likely to forget to take care of themselves.When our wee one was born, our friend not only brought a variety of healthy foods, but would hold the baby while my husband and I ate, and once even bounced her till she fell asleep, and quietly snuck out the door after placing the baby in her crib. We also had friends who brought us an entire roasted chicken!
ReplyDeleteIn my neighborhood we called it MOW for MOMS, or Meals on Wheels for Moms. Everyone would sign up and deliver the meals. A lot of pasta was had. I like the idea of having an online resource for what the new parents likes/dislikes are. The Mow train has come around a few times and it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe just had a baby girl and my friend did meal train for us. The nice thing about it, besides getting wonderful meals from a great community of people, is that you don't get the same meal every night. So we were not eating lasagna for two weeks straight but our meals varied because everyone can see what everyone else is bringing and not double up on meal ideas.
So helpful!!!I haven't! But I love it. My moms group does this for every new mommy. For two whole weeks I didn't have to cook a meal when my daughter was born and it was so helpful. I loved the Dominos that was delivered just as much as the pasta bakes and pulled pork sandwiches. We use takethemameal.com I think these tooks are so great!
ReplyDeleteI think the best baby shower gift I ever gave was three weeks' worth of dinners which I'd prepared and then cut into individual portions and frozen. I coordinated with the father-to-be a few weeks in advance, and then at the shower we surprised our favorite pregnant lady with a huge cooler filled with homemade ravioli and gnocci, soups, lasagne, every good thing!

ReplyDeleteThe nose sucker is not swedish at all! all French parents at this type of products. It's very controversial as it is not really the most efficient way to clean up a baby's nose :) and it WILL make you sick (tested by myself, French mom of a 10 month old adorable baby girl). In Poland, they even have a type of nose sucker with a little engine!

We're used to seeing rappers diss each other. It's a part of the game that has been there since the beginning, but producers don't normally go at it. That appears to be changing, at least in this particular instance as Bangladesh takes aim at Swizz Beatz.
XXL caught up with Bangladesh this past weekend in New York at the All American Music Conference. He told them Swizz's wife, Alicia Keys, is the only thing keeping the producer relevant.
"I don't think Swizz is relevant," Bangladesh told XXL. "I'm keeping it 100. I think there's a difference between relevance and musical relevance. You married a lady that's poppin' [Alicia Keys], you know it'll give you a lot of relevance, but you gotta make hits. Ain't no hits. Are you relevant for the craft you're doing or the life you live as far as the decisions you make?"
Bangladesh goes on to say that he remains youthful at age 34, which keeps him in touch with the streets.
"The relevance is in being youthful," the producer added. "Still being in-the-know. I have a 15 year old son so they think we're brothers and I put him on to stuff. You know, I'm 34 but people tell me I look 23. He still look to me for information. Usually it's the opposite; usually the parents are lame or too old to understand or whatever. Just the way I feel, I got so much more time."

I might post more later.
1. I fired the elephant in the room and hired him instead. He works cheaper and takes up less room.

Shaw Floors' Anso® nylon Color Wall makes choosing theright carpet for your home a cinch!
If you're dreaming of adding an element of drama and excitement to your life, then a fiery hot-house red might be just what you need. Nothing says "drama" more than a classic red roadster, a tube of red lipstick, and "voila" you have a red carpet entrance. Velvet saxonies are ideal for dramatic red carpet and work remarkably well with little or a lof of color within the same space.
The dimensional elements have never been more important than today. Tactile, textural, subtle gradations, contrasting embroidery, hand-scraped or hand-polished wood: the surface speaks volumes to the human eye and human touch. The variety of offerings provide the look of a "one of a kind" product with affordable value.

Finally, a Bill to Reinstate Limits on Bank Size
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/finally-bill-reinstate-limits-bank-size/Not one to let a good crisis go to waste, Bank of America managed, in the dark days of 2008, to parlay its own insolvency and near collapse into attaining something it had long dreamed of: federal approval to bypass a national law that says that no bank may acquire another bank if it would end up holding more than 10 percent of the country's deposits.
Now, at long last, a new Senate proposal calls for reinstating strict size caps. It would mean disassembling at least five big banks.

ReplyDelete - Attorney of LawFebruary 3, 2010 at 9:07 AM
This is a serious issue. My client has real emotional problems and needs to be compensated for complications you added to her life. If you don't pay immediately, I will also help her brother sue the pants off of you. While at work, he saw the word "cock" on your site and was asked to enter it. He also has severe emotional problems caused by your captcha. Additionally, when his boss found out he had entered the word, "cock" he was sexually assaulted as a result.
So if you don't meet my clients demands by the deadline, I will be forced to take further action, including but not limited to, aggravation leading to sexual assault.
You have your demands and deadline.
Attorney of Law This seriously made me LOL. Such an obvious scam/bogus claim but the sad thing is that occasdionally people like this do win. Hence the absurd number of warnings and diclaimers these days.
The solution is easy really.. Allow defendants to get their own damages and law fees recovered in cases deemed to be clearly frivolous. What do you think?Each morning when I wake up I open the online stores I run and the check the comments. I spend so much time blocking IP's and deleting spam but it is never over.
This is obviously an adult site. The innocent young woman is lucky that it was only a word instead of some of the kink stuff online. Imagine if the verification was a Mistress with a slave on a live feed." Electro shock the slave to prove you are a real person".
That is a joke people >:))That word "pussy" is like a Thanksgiving dinner offering orange yams
w/marshmallows baked as the topping (how did every second rate mother/grandmother cook get that recipe?!) or the generic green
bean casserole (w/canned fried onion rings on top)... The word
"pussy" must have been printed in mass media communication
for many years or otherwise, why do men utter such a foul
expression with comfort? I usually demure: "VAGINA" and
ask that I not be called an ugly name ("pussy").- I Hate ThievesAugust 26, 2010 at 2:47 PM
This is for real?
Are you kidddiiing?
This is not an attorney, this man is a thief with a college degree, maybe he can help better this "offended girl" by contacting her to an psycologist, or better putting her in a box, without tv, nor radio nor PC and no contact with any human (oops! neither parrots), because all of this will make the girl go very very offended.
And you, Carl, don´t put the name of the attorney in any captcha, because I will be feeling offended and I will sue you too.
Offended and attorney, do you need money? Go for work!!! Like the rest of us do, #@#&#@!!!!!
New comments are not allowed.

Article of Bodo regarding Woz and Maria match. Bodo was a bit harsh on Wozniacki in this article :D
Looks like Radwanska will be Maria's opponent in the final. This is going to be tough, considering Maria's condition and Radwanska hasn't lost a set yet in this tournament. Maria always have problem with Radwanska, but as long as she'll dictate right at the first strike, serve well and avoid errors, she'll be good.
Bartoli and Agnieska's match was suspended. Raining?
Well, this is a chance for Bartoli to turn things around. Rain delays could really turn a match around.
The lights had failed on court, thus a brief delay. But it was Agnie 64 62 in 45 mins! I got there at the second warmup 64 42 & Radwanska was DOMINATING, if you can believe. So I doubt the glitch affected anything. A match too far for Marion, I figure.
Was fun watching the match last night. Shoutbox was fun :)Well Maria played some amazing tennis in the start of the match. up to 4-1 she was simply breathtaking. Then she switched off and simply lost the set. Extremely dissappointing, it was like she forgot what she was doing up to that 4-1 point where she was amazing.But then like a true classic Maria she stepped on the court, forgot what happened in the first set and demanded the win. the second set was marvelous, god mode was activated. And the third set was equally good!Maria needs just to keep the switch turned ON the entire duration of the match and she will come out as the winner!Also for you guys, HD highlights of the semi final vs Li Na. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoOrCuIfmCk
And also highlights from the match VS Makarova:
PS: Philli where are you?? I miss you! kisses... :(
According to the WTA ranking&the good preparation of Masha, the next winner of Miami tournament should be:
[quote=Imnumber2;314332]Here is Maria Press conference:http://www.sonyericssono...-Sharapova-29-March.aspx[/quote] Thank you but I actually mend on video !
Yeah Masha has a double pressure, she should keep her high ranking&win the tournament for her honor.
But Masha has a good chance to win this tournament even if we do not underestimate her opponent.
I refuse to say Radwanska won. Maria LOST. The match was concluded in 2 sets because of MARIA. Nobody can say Radwanska blew her out of the water and Maria was just outplayed. No, Maria's error count made her lose. The serve was fine, but she was going for way too much. And another note, hearing Mary Carillo laughing at Maria's frustration and complimenting Radwanska only throughout the whole thing, making jabs at Maria's grunting was so distasteful. I guess she has to be bitter, I mean, when someone has had a tennis career that never even made a scratch on the professional level will ought to make you angry. I'm not saying Radwansucks didn't win because she doesn't hit hard, I really love the tactical game, but when a player sits back and the other playing her spraying everything, it's not satisfying.
I'd like to think i'm not a irrational bitchy Maria fan. Sorry if it sounds that way, it's just I wanted a better final, where quality tennis was played against quality tennis. Maria got to the final playing 55%. Had she played even 70% she would have won. But oh well. The award presentation was nice from Radwanska and Maria didn't look phased.
Off to clay court training!
Peace and love, I guess.
Exactly this
That break point against radnwanka at 3-3 in the 2nd set in which Maria defiantely shoud've converted could've been the turning point of that match...
I can't believe Maria didn't break Aga's serve. Even a blind one-legged 100 year old sick person could.
3 big final in 2012.. all lost in straight sets.
The finals part is good, but seriously she needs to do something about these finals.
UNFAIR, DISGUSTING, HEARTBREAKING, NAUSEATING, that's how we can summarize this loss in her 4th Miami final!! She really deserved this tournament!!
But as usual Maria has been caught up by her demons!! I mean don't get me wrong, Maria is such a great champion, with so much potential, but she is so stubborn!! She has not understand yet the importnance of variety, rythm change and tactics in the game!! I mean Radwanska was always 2 metres away from her baseline and Maria has not tried once just once to do a drop shot !!! And the volley ??? The only time Maria went to the net (it was in the second set) she won the point with this wonderful drop shot volley, why didn't she do more of those volley attempts ? Why ??? Why ???? She could be a brillant volley player should she wanted to!!!! Why does not she work that with her coach.
It was clear that entering in the playing style of Radwanska would lead her to do those mass UEs, thanks to which Radwanska won, it was such a bad tactical choice!!
I really hope that these last 3 devastating final losses will not mean the end of her carreer, because anybody would be in such a despair after that!!
But as usual Maria has been caught up by her demons!! I mean don't get me wrong, Maria is such a great champion, with so much potential, but she is so stubborn!! She has not understand yet the importnance of variety, rythm change and tactics in the game!!

She could be a brillant volley player should she wanted to!!!! Why does not she work that with her coach.
I don't worry so much about this Miami tournament because it is not a very important tournament.
I think it is just a good practice for Masha for future tournaments. After all even Azarenka has lost this tournament. May be Masha was just tired and could not control all her balls.
I prefer to give another chance to Masha in a more important tournament. The tennis season is not over, Masha can happily surprise us in many tournaments.
The secret of the success is a clever work with your coaches&Dad. You have to avoid your usual mistakes&vary your game.
Masha's career is not over, she has 6 more years.
Davai Masha!!!!! kisses kisses We are going to win again a final.
In Russia we say: "hold your horses" or Не Гони Лошадей
that means don't worry, don't hurry in life, Masha will show us her best tennis in other tournaments. Give her at least a chance to control her tennis very well. Masha is doing her best but sometimes it is not easy to win, it is not easy to control your nerves&tennis but I think Masha needs more time to overcome her trouble.
We have to be patient. It is the secret for her success and ours.
Don't you see that she is doing her best !!!

"This is not like last year, where the captain jumped ship," said Katz. "Everyone did what they were supposed to do."
Still, the bad press could hurt bookings in the short run, particularly among first-time cruisers. But veteran cruisers are a loyal bunch and will probably not be dissuaded by the latest debacle, according to a report by analysts at Nomura Securities.
"Cruise loyalists and investors should be undaunted by ugly headlines over the long term," said the analysts.
Despite the hit to earnings, Nomura sees this week's sell-off as a buying opportunity, since malfunctions like the one that disabled the Triumph should not happen again, in theory.
The episode could also present an opportunity for those looking to book a cruise in the near future. The negative news could "generate some discounting in the near term" as cruise operators seek to win back business, said Katz.

Conditions InDepth: Scoliosis
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. Instead of going from top to bottom in a relatively straight line, a spine with scoliosis may appear to have a side-to-side "S-shaped" or "C-shaped" curve. Mild degrees of scoliosis won't cause you any problems. However, more severe cases of scoliosis can result in pain, weakness, and low self-esteem because of obvious cosmetic deformity. Very severe scoliosis may cause heart and lung problems if those organs are overly cramped in an abnormally shaped chest cavity.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Scoliosis is usually classified by the age at which it appears to have begun:
- Infantile —between birth and age 3 (very rare)
- Juvenile —from age 3 to age 10
- Adolescent —over age 10 (most common)
Most cases of scoliosis begin when a child is around 8 or 10 years old, and the abnormal curvature may progress as the child continues to grow.
Although there are some medical conditions that are associated with an increased risk of scoliosis, no one knows exactly what causes most cases of scoliosis. Therefore, the vast majority of cases are considered idiopathic, which means of unknown origin. The most common type of scoliosis (adolescent scoliosis) is idiopathic. Infantile and juvenile scoliosis may be:
Functional or Nonstructural
This type occurs when the spine appears abnormal due to muscle spasms that are temporarily pulling it out of alignment, or due to one leg being shorter than the other.
This type occurs when the spine itself is abnormal due to another medical condition, such as a birth defect (including spina bifida and meningomyelocele), muscular dystrophy, spinal tumor, cerebral palsy, injury, or Marfan syndrome.
Scoliosis affects about three to four of every 1,000 people.

State Superintendent John Barge spoke to an audience of education alumni, education majors and local educators at the Charter Fellows Conference at the Berry College Ford Auditorium on Friday, and he said now is the time to make education work, not just for students, but for everyone.
"My vision for education is simple," he told an audience of nearly 200 people. "I'm tired of all the excuses, just make it work. It doesn't matter what party you are, none of that matters. Just make it work for all Georgians, and I'm not just talking about our students. Make it work for teachers too. Make it work for parents."
Education and economic development, he said, are inextricably linked. Therefore, Barge said his main concern isn't just filling children's heads with knowledge but helping them figure out what to do with their education in order to succeed.
"We have focused in education for a long time on educating the head," Barge said. "But if we don't teach our children how to apply the knowledge that we're giving them and develop it in the leadership and the skills to apply that with integrity within the work place and society, we haven't fully prepared our children to be successful."
Barge, being an alumnus of Berry College, said he focuses on educational reform "the Berry way, with educating the head, heart and hands," referencing Martha Berry's philosophy.
Educating the head
Barge discussed the Common Core Curriculum Georgia Performance Standards, which raise the bar for children, introducing them to more rigorous educational material at an earlier age. Though they are based on a national set of standards, each state can decide how they teach them, he said.
"They are a more rigorous set of standards for all students," Barge said. "It will allow transient students to receive the same standards regardless of where they live, and then national assessments will follow."
The national assessments, he said, should be introduced within the next few years. Barge said the No Child Left Behind approach to education was, overall, a good and noble idea. However, there were some consequences that negatively affected students. Teachers had to focus on getting all students graduated on time and particularly focused on those students that needed more help in the classroom. Because of that, the more gifted students suffered.
"These are the standards they need to know," he said. "Because each and every classroom, even the folks that are in this room, even in the same school building, the needs of children will differ. And a one-size-fits-all approach to education does not work."
Educating the heart
Barge said years ago, Georgia passed a law requiring schools to teach character education in the schools, but did not necessarily provide the resources to make them work for students and teachers. But now Georgia is figuring out how to teach those leadership skills in the classroom that will make students successful beyond high school.
"We've got about 30 pilot schools that are piloting a new curriculum that we're providing that is all about teaching students leadership skills," he said.
The lessons, he said, engage students in ways they understand using visual images that create analogies. He used an example of the iceberg that sank the Titanic. What caused the ship to sink was what was beneath the surface. Therefore, students have to be prepared to lead from inside in order to be successful in whatever they choose to do with their lives.
Barge said educators are also being trained on how to educate students about the effects of bullying as well as how to spot human trafficking.
"It's going on in our state, big time," he said. "And if our counselors and teachers know the warning signs, to know what to look for, then hopefully we can save some kids from getting involved in stuff they don't need to be involved in."
Educating the hands
Barge said high school students are being introduced to career pathways that will help them succeed in post-secondary education and in the workforce. "It's making sure our students are prepared," he said. "When I was (at Berry College), I knew a lot of people who were prepared to be teachers. And they went all through four years of school, maybe five, and they got to that last year and they got to that last room to teach and they realized they didn't like kids."
With the new career pathways initiatives, that would be far less likely to happen.
"It's an effort to ensure the children know what's out there and they have an opportunity to experience it before they go," he said. "When they get to post-secondary education, they'll be prepared."
In the first years of high school, he said, all students will take the same core courses in English, math, science and social studies. But those last two years will focus heavily on their specific futures.

L: I will have to rewatch the episode again, but I am almost positive that Clara did not tip over the bottle of Encyclopedia Gallifrey until AFTER she read the book. She knocked over the bottles while hiding from the monster. She was unaware of the bogeyman while reading the book (otherwise she wouldn't have been reading the book).
Deb: My reading of the Doctor's line about "Do you feel safe?" was not that he remembered the events of the episode, but that there was a kind of emotional echo -- that he knew he should be worrying about those issues, but didn't know why. I have absolutely nothing to base that on aside from a gut feeling and the way that changing time has been shown on this series before. Do I think that ultimately both the Doctor AND Clara will remember what went down this past episode? Yep. It all served the purpose of dramatic irony, letting the audience know that a) the Doctor is still completely freaked out by whatever Clara is and b) Clara really does not seem to know that she isn't what she seems. But for the next two episodes, before the finale, they can operate as though nothing has changed.
Michael: Nope, she really means art competition. Believe it or not, the modern Olympics indeed had artistic components for a few decades, and the winners were awarded medals, just like the athletes:
The bomb like device future Doctor gave to past Doctor disrupted the magnetic beam from the salvage ship - saving the Tardis. Also, I'm pretty sure the Doctor retained his memory of the event based on his, "do you feel safe?" questions.
I think the whole thing about the Doctor also trying to get Clara to like the Tardis is because she has been completely underwhelmed, unimpressed, and even mean to it right from the get-go. Chalking it up to the same way a boy would react when the new girlfriend hates his fancy vintage sports car that he spent so much time refurbishing and putting love/care into.
The only glaring thing here that really bothered me: he said the Tardis can't self destruct. It can, and it has - back in the episode where he blew it up to create a new sun. Also the Text of the book should not have been readable, you've got a really good lead there.
I seriously hope it's not River's daughter. But I'm beginning to wonder about the granddaughter comment he made in an earlier episode, plus the mention of the Time War here... Maybe hints that we will learn more about the Time War and his original family?
I 'd like to applaud the author of "It Came From the Vault" for her opinion that art was part of the '32 Olympics, but unfortunately the last sentence of the article should read "...back when the Olympic Games included a TENNIS [not ART] competition.

No. Clara could understand it because of the Encyclopedia Gallifrey leaking.

In the books, Loras joins the King's Guard and hence not available to marry. I can't remember if marriage was discussed before his appointment.
Thanks for the review. I am looking forward to the Red Wedding. :-)
Jinkx! Jinkx! Jinkx! Jinkx!
We are very excited to bring NO WORD IN GUYANESE FOR ME by Wendy Graf to Rochester. For tickets and other information visit www.breadandwatertheatre.org. Performance dates are as follows: April 26, 27, May 3 and 4 at 8pm; April 28 and May 5 at 2pm. It's a great show and we'd be excited to have you at the theatre.
I didn't get the memo and have no idea when the season actually ends...other than knowing it is soon! So, I was surprised. Have to admit that I really don;t want anybody to go home.....well, that's a lie....i wouldn't mind if Angie went. (but that won;t happen being poster child for american girl and all)
it has been fun this season when they bring on the real artist on the judging night. Drake was sweet and everyone seemed so thrilled. Ratings move?
Stephano. I had completely forgotten about him. And I have also completely forgotten the song from last night. Liked his glasses tho.
Lee. Yes, sounded like the Luminere;s (or however you spell it) Still.....I think he did a really good job of it. How long does it take to do anything musically post American Idol?
(My mind was deep in GOT and I had a lot of trouble refocusing on AI) I know....need a life.
Why did the TARDIS show Clara herself? Because the TARDIS is a female, and it doesn't like her...probably because of the Doctor's inordinate interest in her. It projected her image as "the thing she esteems most" as an insult. True or not doesn't matter, at least not to a TARDIS scorned.
Jinxx all the way. Roxxxy does not have the personality people should be relating to the gay world. WHAT A B*TCH! Her own style, grace, the ability to bring a smile to a person's face. That's the next superstar. That is Jinxx.
oops....and one more thing: If there is any truth to the winner of American Idol totally being manipulated from behind the scenes: then Angie is their girl. She has the look , she's vanilla & she's a bit of a Girl Scout.
@Eric: (damn)
The judges kept saying last night that it wasn't about their voices anymore. has to be the 'right' song, bring out their emotion blahblahblah. They have a point tho....as their voices are all excellent. So much can go wrong tho:
Amber: 'Power of Love" & "McArthur Park"...both totally didn;t fit her. Voice pristine. She looked great. Nikki said she looked like a big glass of sexy milk when singing the Celine Dion song.
Candice: "Emotion" & something forgettable by Drake. Voice fabulous...a weird arrangement of one of the songs and she ended up missing the melody. lack lustre performance compared to other weeks. Also, she has a cold/
Angie: The judges praised her but I totally didn't hear it. She sang her beloved Jessie J and I just don;t like that overly emotional stuff that just isn't enjoyable music to me. Then, "Cry me a River" which was better but so overdone and I don;t think she brought anything new to the table.
Kree: sort of blew it with both. Jimmie said that one bluesy number has been sung 100 x and he is right....then sang "A Whiter Shade of Pale"...great tune, lovely voice but I've already forgotten the performance.
Duets: Amber/Kree...voices good, song of Adelle's (& did you say this? I never want to hear another Adelle song at these shows)..kind of a quiet job....
Candance/Angie: Stay (Rhianna). I took a Gravol before this performance but the girls rose to the occasion and both belted out their sides and did a bit of a Diva thang.
The judges generally were all over Angie. I didn't get it at all....then, I don;t get her...or her crying grandmother who was brought on stage. I think dear Kree may be in the bottom in terms of worst performance of the 4.
Cathy: Alas, no "Idol" blog today. I returned home last night to discover that my machine did not record a single second of it. I'm going to trouble shoot what went wrong tonight but I'm committing to not being out of the house during "Idol" broadcasts for the next three weeks until the finale. But I WILL have a blog up tonight as soon as the episode airs. Sorry for the inconvenience!

So You Think You Can Dance is where her boyfriend is from, his name Nigel
Nigel Lithgow supposedly - but only on here have I heard that. I think it would be neat to have Pris and Jerry together - they've certainly been through alot over the years together with Elvis - and after Elvis. (but he sure is popping his head up so everyone can get his picture too - isn't he? lol...)
Yes, Nigel Lithgow is Priscilla's boyfriend.
I thought Jerry and Priscilla might have ended up together, but he is married and I don't think they ever got romantic..
they have - AFAIK - never confirmed a relationship, but were spotted together several times throughout the year at official and inofficial occasions. in terms of (lacking good) looks 'nasty nigel' is an excellent match
hugs, ellie
in spring in a CA (LA?) restaurant (i didn't save the reports as not of interest for me):
i don't suffer from insanity - i enjoy every minute of it
Wow, what a lovely couple Dovey
Reminds me a little of Donald Trump Bet he has almost as much money.
Personally, he's not my type(!!) but Priscilla has the right to date whoever she wants to, as long as she's happy.
Goodbye Rosanne...Your "family" in TCB will always remember you.
well, franny,
to each his (in our case: her ) own.
it's rather unlikely that i will ever meet her in person unless she bumps into me downtown london, applies for membership in our golf club or discovers her faible for sailing. so far - like 99% of all users here - i can only judge from pictures (which i think is legitimate) and think she looks rather freaky with all that plastic and botox in her face, let alone her sometimes strange makeup and hairdo.
but even i found out she looks better indeed than photos imply - i wouldn't like her any better (for her character). but's that's a different topic we discussed before in other threads.
if she's happy with 'nasty nigel' - i wish her all the best.
hugs, ellie
i don't suffer from insanity - i enjoy every minute of it
I saw her in 1971 and she was absolutely beautiful...needless to say that was many "lifts" and "injections" ago. Like you Ellie...I don't understand some of her choices either. I can't imagine telling my hairdresser that I want hair the color of a Dr. Pepper can....to me, that's how her hair often looks in combo with the stark makeup. Almost a "gothic" look sometimes.......
Is it just me - or do they not have very good body chemistry? She seems to be pulling back. Is it because she doesn't want Elvis fans to see her with another man? I wonder?
I do wish her happiness though. How long have they been dating? Priscilla was very beautiful in her younger years - not that she isn't now - but she went to far with the plastic surgery. She has gorgeous eyes.

Perfect for kids with thinner legs!!!
By Moma
from Chicago, IL
About Me Beginner
Comments about NIKE Kids' T90 Charge Shin Guards:
My son is 5 1/2 and just beginning to play soccer, so the price is average; did not find any other products for less. In addition, his legs are very thin, so when we tried the adidas shin guards they stuck out way too far past the width of his leg and he did not like the way they felt. I too was concerned that it would be too tight and uncomfortable, but every time I ask him, he says they are. I would recommend these for anyone looking for a snug fit due to thinner legs.

Don't waste your time or money!
By MommyX4
from Stoneham, MA
About Me Competitive Athlete
Don't waste your time or money! These shin guards are way too narrow and the strap is very uncomfortable. The curve is way off and they are ridgid and do not mold to the leg. Go with Adidas shin guards!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by DB13 beyond expectation!
i hate writing reviews but for the second time Jeremy Scott's sneakers did it!!!
i got the nizza jagged first and was a little skeptical about the colorful bears.
do yourself a favor and get these hilariously super cool shoes! they rock with jeans, white slacks or even some chill shorts with a T.
very fresh and summery!!
i ussualy am 9.5, and since i'm a 10 in the nizza jagged and Instinct Hi's i went with 10 here as well. i think 9.5 would be good as well. i personally like them a tiny bit slouchy.
i'm gonna put true to size though.
i was sad i didn't buy the leopard P-soles when they were in stock, but ehm... already got them some other way, paid more than retail but these rock!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by kerrandunst Awesome shoe!
What more can I say other than the Jeremy Scott Adidas series is not only for the collector but his eclectic designs and vision make for an amazing shoe. My only problem is that I would rather keep them new in the box than potentially get them dirty by wearing them... I guess that calls for a second pair! Fit is a little narrow but lends to a comfortable, snug fit. Definitely not for anyone with wide feed.

More than just the "cannage" symbol, it is the true spirit of the House of Dior that the designer has brought back to life: a certain idea of the Dior woman and the House of Dior's origins, from 1947 to the present day, inspired by its most emblematic design. An exercise in style revealing unexpected delicacy and sophistication within the straw motif.
My Dior therefore opens a new chapter in Dior's great history of the "cannage" design. On rings, bracelets or cuff bracelets, twisted wires and cords bring texture to the design. Chiselled effects add to the finesse of the jewellery. The work of a master jeweller. The lost-wax casting technique brings heart and soul to this collection; the kind that can only be produced by human hands. As ever with Dior Jewellery, the expertise comes from the very best Parisian workshops.

Cupcakes For My Cupcake
My husband, Desi, loves cupcakes. So last week, for his birthday, I surprised him with these Golden Vanilla Cupcakes with a Chocolate Ganache Frosting.
Given how delicious these are, it is almost surprising how easy they are to make. And they are, of course, completely vegan.
I thought these up also partly for Madhuram's creative egg replacement event. Her egg substitute for this month is egg replacer powder.
I usually use a small amount of cornstarch in my cupcakes to help bind them, but the egg replacer, which is basically a mixture of various kinds of starches, worked very well as a substitute. ( I just realized as I wrote this that the egg replacer here is a substitute for a substitute. Hilarious!)
Ok, time to stop the prattle and get on with the recipe. I am also sending this out to Alka for her thoughtful event, Just for You, because this cupcake was made for my most special guy.
Thanks, Madhuram and Alka, for hosting these lovely events.
Golden Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Frosting
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp egg replacer powder
1 cup almond or soy milk
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Mix together the almond or soy milk and vinegar and set aside for five minutes to curdle.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, egg replacer powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the oil, sugar, almond/soy milk mixture and vanilla until the mixture is smooth.
Add the flour gradually, beating until it is thoroughly incorporated.
Line a muffin or cupcake pan with cupcake liners and fill each liner with the cupcake batter about 2/3rds full. I get about 10 cupcakes from this recipe.
Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Place on a rack to cool thoroughly before removing the cupcakes to frost.
Chocolate Ganache Frosting
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 cup unsweetened vegan chocolate chips
2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
Heat the almond milk to a simmer, then take off the heat.
Add the chocolate chips and stir until you have a smooth ganache. Add the sugar and maple syrup and stir in thoroughly.
Allow the ganache to cool thoroughly before frosting the cupcakes.
The ganache will be gooey at the beginning, but it will firm up after a few minutes.

My oh my! I'm going to try these ASAP. Last week I tried 2 vegan vanilla cake recipes and I was not at all satisfied. For one I was able to smell vinegar and soy milk and it was gooey.
Vaishali have you experienced this gooey thing with soy milk? I have not baked with almond milk. Is it preferable than soy?
Thank you very much for the sweet entry.Karma, LG, Thanks ladies.
Madhuram, Thanks. About the vinegar-soy milk question, I use only about a tsp of vinegar to about a cup of soy/almond milk, and usually go with balsamic or apple cider which taste less acidic and are less harsh-smelling, in my opinion, than regular vinegar. As for the almond/soy-milk question, I just use what I have on hand and I don't see any discernible difference in the final results.
Vij, Thanks very much: that's really kind of you.
Vibaas, Cham, Shreya, Priya, Sunshinemom, Happy, Gita, Vidhas, Soma: Thanks very much!
Chitra, Thanks, and welcome!hi vaishali i am really curious about using cornflour in cakes? i don't know where to get egg replacer powder, it maybe available but because cornflour is more widely available i will be more interested in using it.the cupcakes do look very nice.i noticed you have some more vegan cupcake recipes up i'll be back for some.
