There are many kinds of friendship: work friends, school friends, drinking buddies and more. Yet one of the very closest types of friendship is that of Childhood Friends. Before you have to worry about the shock of betrayal or the possibility of romance, this is the friend that will always have your back. No one knows you better than them. And it shows when childhood friends are treated more intimately or are trusted more than other friends.
Supertrope of ChildhoodFriendRomance, PatientChildhoodLoveInterest, BeleagueredChildhoodFriend, ForgottenFirstMeeting and ForgottenFriendNewFoe.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Slice of life series oriented toward male audiences particularly love to use the childhood friend, as a stock character archetype, typically either as TheLancer or PatientChildhoodLoveInterest. This is especially in cases of the latter, which bring prominence to the fact that the characters are childhood friends more often than the former.
* Nagi, Sakuya, Wataru and Isumi are all childhood friends in ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''. While Wataru does like Isumi, for the most part it's entirely platonic. A large portion of the cast dynamics revolves around their relationships together. And surrounding them is their families and how ''they'' interact. In fact, they seem to be {{Generation Xerox}}es to an extent, though their parents are very minor characters.
* Reinhard von Lohengramm and Siegfried Kircheis in ''LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'' had a bromance as epic as the title of the show. Their shared childhood memories were commonly shown in flashbacks.
* Lelouch and Suzaku in ''CodeGeass''. Basically the only reason why Lelouch didn't brainwash or kill him early on.
** At some point, Lelouch says, "You're the only one I didn't want to use the geass on," referring to Suzaku, and the reason he did it was to force Suzaku to save himself (when he's planning to sacrifice himself to take down Zero), other than that one time Lelouch doesn't care who he brainwashes (including his own sister, who is supposedly the reason he's trying to change the world), ChildhoodFriendRomance maybe?
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''
** Ichigo and Tatsuki are childhood friends. They grew up together, attended the same dojo together and Tatsuki bore witness to, and was affected by, the huge impact Masaki's death had on Ichigo's family and, in particular, Ichigo himself.
** Rukia and Renji ran with a gang during their childhood years in the Rukongai 78th District. Once their three friends died, they travelled together to Seireitei to train to become shinigami whereupon events separated them for over forty years before their friendship was able to be renewed at the end of the Soul Society arc. Renji was inspired by Ichigo's strength to turn traitor to Soul Society and help Ichigo save Rukia from the executioner's block as a result of his childhood friendship with Rukia.
** Hitsugaya and Hinamori are childhood friends of the brother/sister type. Since blood families are almost unheard of in the Rukongai, families of adopted strangers spring up instead. One old woman in the 1st District became a grandmother to both Hitsugaya and Hinamori and raised them together. Hitsugaya's conflict with Aizen becomes more personal than the conflict between Aizen and other captains because of Aizen's exploitation of Hinamori and Hitsugaya's desire to protect her. This gets much, much worse before it gets better.
** Gin and Rangiku were childhood friends in the Rukongai. Gin found Rangiku collapsed and offered her food. From that day, they travelled together until they became shinigami. [[spoiler: Gin joined Aizen on a century long quest for vengeance because of a past attack by Aizen on Rangiku which was what led to her collapsed state when she and Gin first met.]]
** Ryuuken Ishida and Kanae Katagiri were introduced to each other as very young children. Kanae was supposed to be Ryuuken's personal servant and bodyguard, but they were so close that, by the time they'd reached their late teens, she was also his battle partner and confidante. [[spoiler: This is a ChildhoodFriendRomance, as Kanae is the MissingMom of Ryuuken's son, Uryuu. Her [[PlotTriggeringDeath tragic death]] is implied to be one of the [[TheLostLenore biggest reasons]] for why Ryuuken hates Quincies and doesn't want Uryuu to be one.]]
* Kyouko and Sho in ''Manga/SkipBeat'' were friends in childhood, and know each other just as one would expect with all those years of experience....although calling them "friends" currently would be something of a mistake.
* Grizzly Bear and Polar Bear of ''Manga/ShirokumaCafe'' have known each other since they were cubs. Polar Bear's laid-back personality and fondness for trolling his friends plays off beautifully against Grizzly's more tempestuous and grumpy personality.
* Tabe-chan, Sanae, and Mizuki from ''Manga/PopcornAvatar''.
* In ''Anime/TamakoMarket'', not only is Mochizou a childhood friend of Tamako, he is also the son of the owner of Rice Cake Oh! Zee and thus works for the competition. No, they aren't really in a romance yet, although Mochizou seems to have some interest in Tamako.
* Hiyori and Manabe in ''Manga/KotouraSan''. Hiyori is interested in Manabe, but Manabe sees her as just a friend. And quite a bit less than that after he found out that she was responsible for four grown men sending him to the hospital with serious injuries.
* Veronica and Carlo of ''Manga/BokuraNoKiseki'' were raised in the same monastery together.
* The entire premise of ''Anime/AnoHanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay'' revolves around a group of six childhood friends who drifted apart after one of them dies and years later, Menma appears as a ghost asking Jintan to have a wish granted, but she doesn't know that wish, so he gathers around his old friends to help solve his problem.
* In ''KOn'', Yui and Nodoka. Also, Mio and Ritsu. This becomes a bonding point between Mio and Nodoka in the second year (when they're not in the same class as Ritsu, Yui, or Tsumugi) as they compare notes on what it's like being the more responsible member of a pair of childhood friends.
* In ''ShinryakuIkaMusume'', Eiko says she and Goro and childhood friends, and, well, that's pretty much all there is to that. She doesn't have eyes for him, and he has eyes for her older sister.
* ''Anime/VariableGeo'': The OVA depicts Yuka and Satomi as having grown up together, while also having [[FriendlyRivalry trained together as sparring partners at the same dojo.]] While they remain close friends, years later, Satomi has had little time compete with Yuka due to having to work two full-time jobs to support herself and [[IllGirl her brother, Daisuke.]]
* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has [[TheHero Eren]], his foster sister [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Mikasa]], and [[TheSmartGuy Armin]] as well as [[ThoseTwoGuys Reiner and Bertolt]].
* Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa and Rin from ''Anime/{{Free}}'' were friends in elementary school until they went their separate ways when Rin went overseas to Australia to go study. When they are reunited years later, the three remaining guys saw Rin's personality changed and he declares Haruka as his rival. In the first season's final episode, [[spoiler: Rin makes up with his old friends, which culminated in them shared a big hug at the end.]]
* Ryu, Shota and Chizu of ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'' were friends when they were a lot younger; Ryu and Chizu have been friends pretty much their entire lives.
* ''Anime/LupinIIIDragonOfDoom'': Goemon and Kikyo, though he is a few years older at least. [[spoiler:Sadly, she turns out to be EvilAllAlong. ]]
* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' has two very different examples:
** [[NeverMessWithGranny Sheryl]] [[HandicappedBadass Rainsworth]] and [[OlderThanTheyLook Rufus]] [[TheChessmaster Barma]] swore to work together to prevent another [[CataclysmBackstory Tragedy of Sablier]] from occurring, even if their respective families' interests ever came in conflict. [[HopelessSuitor Rufus]] is also her UnluckyChildhoodFriend and [[{{Determinator}} kept asking for her hand in marriage from their student years to present time.]] Sheryl is in her seventies and married to someone else, but as Rufus puts it, "a divorce can fix that!"
** [[TheChewToy Gilbert]] and [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Ada]] [[ShelteredAristocrat Vessalius]], who have known each other since they were nine and three years old respectively, are LikeBrotherAndSister. Ada is the only member of the Vessalius family Gilbert didn't hide from after [[spoiler: betraying the Vessalius by [[FeudingFamilies becoming a Nightray.]] His motive for said betrayal was to rescue [[GuileHero Oz]], Ada's older brother, from [[EldritchLocation the Abyss]], so it was only ever a betrayal [[HeroicSelfDeprecation from his point of view]].]]
* In the newest and upcoming ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' series, Ash reunites with Serena, a girl he met when he was younger.
* In ''{{Manga/Saki}}'', Satomi Kanbara, president of the mahjong club of Tsuruga, is childhood friends with Kaori Senoo, and knows that Kaori will join on her request that the Tsuruga team will have enough members to enter the tournament. While Kaori has no experience playing mahjong, she has incredible BeginnersLuck, and does fairly well in her round.
* [[spoiler: ''Both'' Sena and Yozora are this to Kodaka]] in ''LightNovel/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai''
* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', Madoka Kaname met Sayaka Miki (and to a lesser degree, Kyousuke Kamijou) in kindergarten. In primary school, Hitomi Shizuki joined them.
* Chiya and Sharo in ''Manga/GochuumonWaUsagiDesuKa'', since they both live right next to each other.
* Two pairs in ''Manga/TonariNoKashiwagiSan'', Kotone and Sayaka, and Yuuto and Kazuki have known each other since they were small.
[[folder:Fan Works]]
* In ''The Matrix''/''Supernatural'' crossover ''Fanfic/HuntingSeries'' there's Dean, Sam and Tom after John Winchester saved Tom from vampires. It really starts after the three boys play tag around the Impala setting them to be friends for life.
[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* Ronin and Queen Tara in ''WesternAnimation/{{Epic}}''.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''. As it turns out, Thor and Sif have been close friends since childhood, with Sif [[ChildhoodFriendRomance having developed romantic feelings for him]] (implied in [[{{Film/Thor}} the first film]] and now confirmed) and platonic feelings from his end (or possibly unrealized romantic feelings, as it's also been confirmed that there will be a LoveTriangle between Thor, Sif, and Jane in the sequel).
--> ''Jaimie Alexander:''' She cares about him. They grew up together, you know?
* The Flatbush Four in ''Film/LastVegas''
* Marco and Jake in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}''.
* One of Larry's regrets in ''Literature/TheStand'' was how he ruined a childhood friendship by quibbling over a small amount of money when he knew perfectly well he was wrong. It's one of the memories he holds to convince himself that he 'aint no nice guy.' We never see his friend in the present (he probably died in the [[ThePlague superflu pandemic]]), but it clearly bothers Larry at how pointlessly selfish he was and how he lost a really good friend over it.
* [[TheHero Derek]] and [[IceQueen Laura]] of the web-novel ''Literature/{{Domina}}''. She moved away years ago for reasons he doesn't understand--all she'll say is that its his fault.
* Cassel and Lila from ''[[Literature/TheCurseWorkers White Cat]]'' by {{Holly Black}}.
* Polly Plummer and Diggory Kirke in ''TheChroniclesOfNarnia''. They meet in the first book ''The Magicians Nephew'' and the final book, ''The Last Battle'' reveals they kept in contact their whole lives.
[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The reason Mike stuck around his poisonous best friend Trevor for so long on ''{{Suits}}'', even after Trevor ruins his dream of becoming a lawyer, is because Trevor and Mike are each other's oldest friends.
* Monica and Rachel from ''{{Friends}}''.
* The five friends on Creator/DisneyChannel's ''Series/IDidntDoIt'' know each other ever since when they were on third grade.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor and the Master were grew up together on Gallifrey and were close friends. It ended badly, but occasionally they are still on FriendlyEnemy terms.
* In ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' Detective Jake Peralta and Gina Linetti, the precinct civilian administrator, grew up together as kids. This doubles as an ActorAllusion, as Andy Samberg (Jake) and Chelsea Peretti (Gina) also were childhood friends.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* Yuuki and Heita in ''BigBangAge''. Yuuki is apparently one of Heita's only real friends and the two are rather close. He's rather... surprised to learn [[{{Bifauxnen}} the truth]] about Yuuki, too. Both are rather minor characters, though, so the relationship isn't as fleshed out as it could be.
* In the mage starter area in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', the player character and Jowan are quickly established as having been close friends since the age of five or six -- this is probably a deliberate attempt to make the player more inclined to go along with Jowan's (illegal, and questionably moral) plans and/or care about his fate later in the game. There even seems to be a possible dialogue option to defend why you placed your trust in him that is something to the effect of, "but we've been friends since we were kids".
* Alex and Kyle from ''[[{{TCT RPG}} The Colour Tuesday]]''. Its the bedrock of their alliance.
* Shulk, Reyn, and Fiora from ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}''.
* Some of Link and Zelda's reincarnations (''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap Minish Cap]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'', to name two).
* Aden and Sonja, the protagonists of ''[[VideoGame/RuneFactoryOceans Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny]]'', have been friends since birth.
* Endou and Kazemaru in ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'', but it's never been disclosed how long exactly. Technically a number of the members of [[spoiler:Aliea]] and Little Gigant as well because they grew up together.
** In ''GO'', Tenma and Aoi. According to the latter's seiyuu Aoi has a crush on Tenma, but it has yet to be seen or hinted at.
** From ''GO'' as well, Amagi with Mahoro and Yukie. That is, before they fell apart when Mahoro started actively avoiding Amagi. [[spoiler:Naturally in this kind of series, they make amends.]]
** Shindou and Kirino too.
* Garlot, Siskier, and Jenon in ''VideoGame/BlazeUnion''. Both Siskier and Jenon have got [[TriangRelations some sticky feelings that complicate things]], but for most of the game the three are nigh inseparable and their almost-familial friendship is an important source of emotional support for [[BrokenHero Garlot]].
* Ceodore and Ursula from ''FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears''. Despite they reveal they are childhood friends, they seems only share only one scene together in the whole game. You do get to use their powerful [[CombinationAttack combination attack]], though.
* ''KingdomHearts'' has Sora, Riku and Kairi. The first two have known each other their whole lives, while the latter arrives in their hometown when she's a kid and joins them.
* Luke and Nick from ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' have been close friends for at least 20 years.
[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Kouin, Yuuto, Kaori and Kyouko of ''EienNoAselia'' fall into this. Kaori doesn't have much of the dynamic, and Kyouko is more of a romance, but Kouin and Yuuto definitely fall into this. [[spoiler:The third chapter focuses around Kouin and Kyouko equally with the main plot of the entire world blowing up.]]
* Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, and Larry Butz from ''Franchise/AceAttorney''.
* Arihiko and Shiki in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''. Arihiko is one of the few people who really knows all about Shiki and understands him and the two are mostly inseparable.
** Shiki is also this with the maids Hisui and Kohaku. Also, Akiha except she is his sister even though [[{{NotBloodSiblings}} she's not really his sister]].
* Yoshiyuki, Wataru and Koko are all childhood friends in ''VisualNovel/DaCapoII''. Koko's relationship with the other two gets much more complicated, but Wataru and Yoshiyuki fall straight into this intead. It's one of the factors that makes Koko's route that much more dramatic.
* In ''TokimekiMemorial 2 Substories: Leaping School Festival'', an Event in Homura Akai's route reveals that [[spoiler: her grandfather Ringo and Hibikino High's headmaster Bakuretsuzan]] are childhood friends, and still are the best friends in the world despite [[spoiler: the years and the fact they were (friendly) rivals for the heart of the girl who would become Homura's grandmother, in their High School time]].
** And then there's Homura herself with Akane Ichimonji. The two are best friends since childhood, although Akane feels from time to time the need to take a break from Homura and avoids her, as shown in an Event in Childhood Mode. Speaking of Akane, in the 10th Drama CD, [[DiscussedTrope she and the protagonist, Kouichi, discuss about childhood friends]]:
-->'''Kouichi''': Say... Ichimonji-san, do you have someone you can call a childhood friend?
-->'''Akane''': Me? Mmm... Well, someone I could call as such... I'd say Homura.
-->'''Kouichi''': Aah, Akai-san, huh?
-->'''Akane''': Well, rather than a childhood friend, she's more like a ''kusare-en'' (a destined friend, a fatal bond) to me.
-->'''Kouichi''': I see.
-->'''Akane''': But, it's nice to have childhood friends.
-->'''Kouichi''': Is that so?
-->'''Akane''': They know each other very well, and can say everything to each other! They're like best friends, or even family!
* The original eponymous ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' were made up of five childhood friends, four guys and one girl.
* Hiroki and Yanagi in ''{{Canvas 2}}''. [[spoiler:A later event in the story is about an attempt to repair said friendship due to some complications involving the third childhood friend that they both liked.]]
* In ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'' we have both the Kazama Family including seven people, and the 2-S trio of Touma, Jun, and Koyuki.
* Yuuchi from ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'' has childhood friendship relationships with all female main characters, except Shiori.
* Ryouta and Hiyoko, in ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend''. Ryouta even gets anxious and possessive when considering the idea that Hiyoko may grow apart from him in time.
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Penny, Sara and Michelle of ''PennyAndAggie'' have been friends since their preteen years, Penny and Sara for at least two years longer. WordOfGod also has it that [[TheBeard Fred and Daphne]] have been best friends since childhood.
* Beniamo Cassano and Beniamo Ilmar (now known as Kang Horyang) from ''TowerOfGod'', two boys who grew up together as scientific experiments.
** Also, Baam and Rachel, but their relationship was always kinda complicated.
* Lee and Frank in ''Webcomic/PrinceOfCats'' met in, and have inseparable since, second grade.
[[folder:Web Original]]
* Gaea and Golgotha in ''Franchise/{{Noob}}''. Gaea may have since become a DirtyCoward [[ConMan Con Woman]], but you'll have to deal with quite the [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instict]] if you dare lay a hand on her while [[BloodKnight Golgotha]] is online.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', this seems to be the main reason [[HotBlooded Rainbow]] [[JerkWithAheartOfGold Dash]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Flutter]][[FriendToAllLivingThings shy]] are so close. They both went to flight camp together, and Dash was happy to defend Fluttershy from the bullies who would pick on her.
** Might be something of a variation, as the show kind of skirts around the topic and it's unclear how well they knew each other as kids. The first two seasons showed that Rainbow knew next to nothing about her, and Fluttershy failed to recognize one of Rainbow's old friends.
* [[AllThereInTheManual According to the Motorcity bible,]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}} Julie and Claire]] (who appear to be this their mid-to-late teens) have been best friends since kindergarten.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* RhettAndLink
* TomKenny and Creator/BobcatGoldthwait
* In the ice dancing world, Meryl Davis & Charlie White have been partners (and friends) since they were eight.
** Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir even "dated" when they were 7 & 9.
* According to TheLonelyIsland's {{Youtube}}, they met in Junior High.

Bought these shorts when I began my outdoor obsession and have loved them ever since. Runs true to size and as far as I can tell they are very durable, minus some small pilling on the right thigh. I have climbed in these for several months and have been impressed with its flexibility and breathability. The built in belt was something of a worry when I initially ordered these, but upon wearing them it turned into a pleasant surprise.

We're big fans of Britax and have been for over a decade. Our first Britax purchase was a Cheetah print Roundabout in 2002. My oldest son (now 10 1/2) transitioned from his infant car seat to the Roundabout, in the rear-facing position, at 6-months-old and sat in a Britax seat for the next eight years – in a Roundabout, Marathon, Regent and finally a Parkway before he was old enough and big enough to use the vehicle safety belt.
So when I first learned about the Britax Registry Reward Program early last year, my initial thought was, "and why wasn't this program around sometime in the past 10 years?!" Well, I already know the answer to that – it's because Britax has grown and evolved so much over the past decade. While 10 years ago it was all about car seats, now they have just about everything you could need or want to get up and go with your baby in tow. And now that I'm taking inventory of what we have and what we need for the new baby, the Britax Registry Rewards Program has my full attention.
New and expectant parents may earn an extra registry gift from Britax – a Britax Boulevard 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat ($320 value) when they buy one designated Britax or BOB item from each of five baby gear categories on the Britax New Parent Checklist.
The New Parent Checklist has you and your baby covered for years to come. Just purchase one item from each category: Stroller, Car Seat, Carrier, Large Accessory and Small Accessory, save your UPC codes from the box and ta-dah! You get your Boulevard 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat as your reward – for free!
For expectant parents, this program is like gold. Simply pick and get your stroller, infant car seat, carrier and any accessories you want – which is all the gear and stuff you'll need anyway – and you have your convertible car seat ready and waiting for when the time is right to transition your baby out of the infant car seat. For new parents who might already have their infant car seat and stroller, I would say go with a convertible car seat and the BOB all-terrain stroller – and then get your second convertible car seat for free. We have a convertible car seat, for each child, in each of our cars (one of them is a Britax Boulevard 70-G3) and an all-terrain stroller in addition to our everyday stroller – and we use them all.
It doesn't matter if you purchase the qualifying items yourself or receive them as a gift. To participate in the Rewards Program, just mail in the five UPC barcodes (found on each new product's box) and complete a redemption form. More information about the redemption steps can be found on britaxusa.com.
The Britax Boulevard 70-G3 achieves revolutionary safety through the use of Britax SafeCell Technology in the base of the seat, new HUGS with SafeCell Technology, integrated steel bars, side impact protection and an energy-absorbing Versa-Tether. With Britax, it's 360 degrees of protection and safety you can see!
These safety features work together to minimize the forward movement of a child's head during a crash. The Boulevard 70-G3 offers a five-point, no-rethread harness, a quick-adjust head restraint and harness and multiple buckle and recline adjustments. The Boulevard 70-G3 accommodates children between 5 and 40 pounds rear facing, and up to 70 pounds forward facing. The Boulevard 70-G3 is available in a variety of fashions with a suggested retail price of $319.99.

ВиноградOctober 24th, 2008 — posted by Olga
The Russian word for grape is виноград. The area where my grandmother lived was very well know for making вино wine because of the sweet and ripe grapes that grow there. My great grandmother grew beautiful grapes in the backyard of her home and made her own homemade red wine. In her backyard, the grape trees grew thick and were full of beautiful red and green grapes. My great grandmother enjoyed making sweet red wine so she added sugar to the recipe. She said, «Мне нужно добавить сахар в рецепт чтобы сделать сладкое красное вино» "I need to add sugar to the recipe to make sweet red wine». Sometimes, my great grandmother asked me to help her pick grapes from the trees. She told me «Помоги мне собрать виноград в корзину» "Help me gather the grapes into the basket" and I gladly agreed. Besides making wine, she also made grape preserves варенье and different pies пироги made with grape filling.
РомашкаOctober 23rd, 2008 — posted by Olga
The Russian word for chamomile is ромашка. In Russia, chamomile grows in the fields and is not only used in bouquet arrangements but also for cosmetic and medical uses. I especially love chamomile blossoms because they are beautiful and stay fresh in the vase for approximately one week. My grandmother grew chamomile all over her garden and she enjoyed drying the flowers to make tea and cosmetic remedies. She told me «Мы засушим ромашку и сделаем чай» "We will dry the chamomile and make tea." The incredible scent of these flowers filled the entire house every time my grandmother dried her chamomile.
In particular, many young women like to make a head wreath венок out of chamomile flowers. In traditional Russian practice, it is thought that if a woman weaves and gives a head wreath to a man, she indicates that she is in favor of marrying him. I remember many summer days when I sat in my grandmother's garden and made wreaths out of chamomile flowers. «Я обожаю делать венки из цветов ромашки» "I adore making head wreaths out of chamomile flowers!"
Новорождённые детиOctober 22nd, 2008 — posted by Olga
The Russian word for newborn infants is новорождённые дети. In America, it is customary to show our appreciation and excitement for an upcoming baby by giving the family a baby shower. However, in Russia, this is usually not the practice until after a baby is born. It is thought by many Russians that expressing happiness and excitement for a new baby should only be done after the baby has successfully entered into the world.
Another important Russian tradition is giving the parents of the baby a sweet treat as a gift. This sweet gift can be honey мёд, sugar сахар, or candy конфеты and symbolizes a sweet future for the child. My mother told me that when I was born, my great grandmother brought a large jar of homemade honey and as she handed my parents this gift, she said «Пусть этот мед принесёт Оле сладкую жизнь!» "Let this honey bring Olga a sweet life!"
ПоездOctober 21st, 2008 — posted by Olga
The Russian word for train is поезд. Trains are a very common means of transportation in many parts of Russia. As a child, I lived and attended school in Ukraine which was very stressful at times because of the huge work load. As a part of my summer vacation, I traveled to visit my aunt in Moscow. My parents and I took the train from Lvov to Moscow, which took approximately 24 hours. Part of the reason I enjoyed seeing my aunt so much was because the train ride was a very exciting and fun experience for me. I always brought my toys with me and my parents brought food and comfy pillows to sleep on.
As we boarded the train, the train attendant called out «Внимание! Наш поезд отправляется» "Attention! Our train is leaving." I quickly took a seat by the window and my parents ordered me a cup of tea from the train attendant «Я хочу купить одну кружку чая, пожайлуста» "I would like to buy one cup of tea please." During our ride, My dad and I played cards карты which was very exciting because I beat him that time!
As the train approached Moscow, the train attendant called out «Внимание! Следующая станция Москва» "Attention! The next station is Moscow". As we began making our way towards the exit, a lady in front of us dropped a basketful of apples on the floor and everyone was held back while she tried to pick them up. This was very troubling news for everyone who was trying to exit the train because the hallway was crowded and there was only one way out of the train. I began to panic because the train was going to depart again in a few minutes! I heard people yelling «Разрешите пройти! Нам нужно выйти» "let us through! We need to exit." Fortunately, the lady picked up her apples quickly and we exited the train just as it was beginning to depart again.
СайтOctober 20th, 2008 — posted by Don
The Russian word for website is сайт as in «Мы с Зоей познакомились на сайте знакомств, и через шесть месяцев мы поженимся!» "Zoya and I met on a dating site, and in six months we are getting married!" There are several ways you can tell someone to go to your new web site:
Зайдите на мой новый сайт
Загляните на мой новый сайт
Откройте мой новый сайт
A slightly more formal way, say in an advertisement, uses the verb посещать/посетить: «Посетите нашу домашнюю страницу» "Visit our home page." Of course, sometimes you want to warn people away from a site, so you might say «Не открывайте этот сайт, иначе компьютер заразится шпионскими программами» "Don't go to that site or the computer will get infected with spyware."

Despite the fact that women are underrepresented in leadership, organizations that hire more women leaders perform better than those that don't, and companies in the consumer packaged goods industry are starting to take notice, according to the Women 2020 report from the Network of Executive Women.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Dairy Linked to Lower Body Fat in Teen Girls
Calories Count continued...
The researcher says several mechanisms appear to play a role in dairy's ability to influence body fat. A hormone known as calcitriol, which helps the body regulate calcium levels in the blood, also appears to stimulate human fat cells.
The more calcium there is in a fat cell, the more fat the cell will burn -- and the greater the weight loss.
"When we don't have enough calcium in the diet, that sends two messages to fat cells," he says. "One is to make more fat and the other is to slow down the process of fat burning."
He adds that some of the minerals in dairy products, such as phosphorus and magnesium, also seem to stop fat synthesis. These minerals may also preserve muscle mass and enhance the body's metabolism.
Both researchers emphasized that calorie restriction is still important for weight loss.
"Calories definitely count," Zemel says. "You can't just add dairy foods if you are already eating too much. You have to replace other foods and eat the appropriate number of calories."

Hackers Steal Target Shoppers' Credit, Debit Card Info
Posted By Sid Kirchheimer On December 19, 2013 @ 11:00 am In Scam Alert | Comments Disabled
[1]Hackers have stolen confidential data from as many as 40 million credit and debit cards [2] that shoppers used at Target stores from the day before Thanksgiving until December 15.
The data breach reportedly extends to nearly all of Target's 1,797 stores nationwide and involves the hacking of machines at checkout lines on which customer swipe their cards when making purchases.
So far, there's no indication that payment data was stolen concerning online purchases from Target, the nation's second-largest retailer.
News of the breach was broken Wednesday by Brian Krebs, a computer security expert and former Washington Post reporter [3]. After the Secret Service confirmed it is investigating, Target issued this release early Thursday [4].
"Show Us Your Modern Family" Photo Contest. Upload your photo for a chance to be photographed in AARP The Magazine. [5] See official rules. [6]
It's not clear how attackers were able to compromise "point-of-sale" terminals at so many Target stores across the country, but it's believed that roughly 40,000 card-reading devices were affected. These machines collect information from the magnetic stripe on credit and debit cards, and potentially also personal identification numbers (PINs).
With this information in hand, cybercriminals [7] can potentially create counterfeit cards by encoding the data onto any card with a magnetic stripe. If the thieves also were able to obtain PIN data for debit transactions, they would theoretically be able to clone debit cards and use them to withdraw cash from ATMs.
In its statement, Target confirms that stolen information includes customer names, credit or debit card numbers, as well as card expiration dates and CVVs (three- or four-digit security codes).
If you shopped at Target during the affected dates, immediately alert your credit or debit card issuer. You should also carefully check future credit card and bank statements for fraudulent purchases or withdrawals. In coming weeks, get a free credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com [8] (you can get one per year for no charge from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus) and then get another one a few months later (identity thieves sometimes hold onto stolen data before using it). Look for unauthorized charges and the fraudulent opening of new accounts in your name. Immediately report any that you find.

Subject: A Patently Silly Filing by "Slydial"
A Patently Silly Filing by "Slydial"
Greetings. "The New York Times" has a story up today about a
service called "Slydial" -- which is making a big deal out of
letting people send outgoing calls directly to cell phone voicemail
rather than ringing the destination phones
( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/02/us/02sly.html ).
The story states that Slydial wouldn't reveal their technology since
it was apparently patent pending.
Well, I'll reveal it with a high level of probability, without even
having to see their application -- which one would hope would be
rejected by the USPTO (but of course, these days you can get a
patent on just about any ridiculous concept, so ...)
Anyhow, the obvious way to accomplish Slydial's purpose is simply to
link callers to the direct voicemail entry interfaces that are
available to cellular subscribers (and in many cases, open to anyone
who makes the simple effort to note the centralized voicemail access
number used by various carriers in regional areas).
Once you've used one of several techniques to access the voicemail
system at that level, a typical option is "send a message to another
number." You enter the destination number (on that cellular system)
and you go straight to their voicemail prompt.
No magic at all -- lots of people use this feature to send each
other voicemail messages all the time. The only "value-added" that
Slydial seems to be providing is (surreptitiously?) permitting
non-subscribers to access the systems.
Of course, I have no proof at this point that Slydial works in this
manner. But it's a good bet that they're doing something along
these lines -- and also that their patent application belongs in the
round file at the patent office.
Say goodnight Gracie.

The first weekend of March Madness is over and it proved to be an exciting four days of basketball, maybe the best in recent memory. There are happy fans everywhere from Dayton to Palo Alto and most definitely in the offices of the Southeastern Conference.
Each regional site had great moments and upsets, including the Raleigh site. What you won't find in the Raleigh area on Monday are happy fans. The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, also known as the Triangle, went into the 2014 NCAA Tournament opening weekend with four teams in the tournament. The Triangle came out of the opening weekend with no teams left in the tournament.
First, at the Raleigh site, 14th seeded Mercer upset the Duke Blue Devils 78-71. National Player-of-the-Year candidate, Jabari Parker, had an off shooting night and only managed to score 14 points in what could be his last game in a Duke uniform. The other key was Mercer's senior-laden team slicing up Duke's defense in the second half, shocking the crowd at PNC Arena. In what should have been a home court advantage, many who attended the game said it felt like the Mercer fans were louder than the Duke contingent on hand. And in the end it was the Mercer fans and players celebrating.
Next, in Orlando, the place where dreams come true, the North Carolina State Wolfpack looked as though they would add themselves to the growing list of victorious 12 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. The Wolfpack had played well enough in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament to sneak into the First Four and validated their selection with a win over Xavier in Dayton.
They continued that hot play against Atlantic-10 regular season champion, Saint Louis, for most of the game, leading by as much as 16 points with 8 minutes to go in the game. Then it all fell apart, with the Wolfpack missing 11 free throws in the last 3 minutes as Saint Louis pulled off the comeback. NC State's dream of an upset didn't come true.
Finally, in San Antonio, the North Carolina Tar Heels looked to redeem themselves from a subpar showing in the ACC Tournament. They managed to pull out the victory in their first game over Providence, 79-77. Unlike Duke and NC State, that gave them the chance to make the Sweet 16 if they were able to beat Iowa State on Sunday.
After trailing by as much as 9 points, the Tar Heels found themselves with an 8 point lead with just less than 4 minutes left in the game. Then it all fell apart as UNC made some mistakes and Iowa State got hot from the perimeter with Cyclone playmaker, DeAndre Kane, making the game-winning lay-up with less than 2 seconds to play to win 85-83. UNC's roller coaster season ended in gut-wrenching fashion.
As a result of those losses, the Triangle won't have a Sweet 16 representative. That's the first time that's happened in 18 years. In fact, it will be the first time since 1958-1962 that the Triangle has gone 4 years without a Final Four representative. Are these teams getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle that we call parity in college basketball? Or is there reason to believe this absence in the Sweet 16 will be an exception, not the rule?
Let's take a look at what the Triangle teams can expect next season as some players will leave early for the NBA, some will stay in school, and high profile recruits arrive on campus at all 3 schools.
Starting with Duke, the #1 question, and the #2 question for that matter, is whether or not freshman star, Jabari Parker, returns or leaves early for the NBA. Parker is widely predicted to be selected in the Top 3 picks in the NBA Draft. So he most likely will enter the draft. Rodney Hood is rated borderline lottery pick and solidly in the Top 20. So he will have a big decision to make as well. Nothing is official until they announce their decisions, but signs would point to early exits.
Parker and Hood represent 46% of Duke's scoring and 38% of their rebounds. The Blue Devils also lose their senior leaders, Tyler Thornton, Andre Dawkins, and Josh Hairston. Parker, Hood, Dawkins and Thornton accounted for 63% of Duke's 3-pointers and all had games where the team depended on their big shots from the perimeter. Altogether, Duke is losing 60% of their scoring if all four of those guys are gone.
The cavalry is coming to Durham in the form of the nation's top-ranked recruiting class. Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow are all in the ESPN Top 15. This type of recruiting haul will most likely put Duke in the preseason Top 5, but what we've learned by now is that putting the success of your team squarely on the shoulders of freshman does not always predict a successful outcome. Only time will tell.
What Coach Mike Krzyzewski will also need to make this roster work is huge improvement from Marshall Plumlee, more big time effort from Rasheed Sulaimon, and senior leadership and big shots from Quinn Cook. These 3 were not consistent night in and night out, and they can't play that way next season. And somebody nobody is talking about now like a Matt Jones or Amile Jefferson needs to have a breakout year to give them that X-factor.
Coach K will have the pieces he needs to have a great season, but that's what he had this year and it's safe to say he did not get the most out of this year's squad. That's what makes this early departure from the NCAA Tournament so disappointing to Duke fans. They had the players to make a Final Four run and possibly more, but failed to get out of the starting blocks. Of course, that is also the reason Coach K will most likely come back in a big way and push his team back into the Sweet 16 and beyond next year.
NC State will be faced with a rebuilding situation, again. Entering this season Mark Gottfried dealt with the early departures of all five of his starters from last season. At times this year, NC State looked awful. But in the big games they played well and had several close losses to the top teams after blowing leads late in the game. The fact that they closed strong, played well enough in the ACC Tournament to make the Big Dance, and were 8 minutes from knocking off a 5 seed would leave some to believe Gottfried did a better job coaching with less this year than he did last year when they had better talent.
First and foremost, they will have to find a way to replace ACC Player-of-Year, T.J. Warren, assuming the rumors are true that he will indeed announce in the coming days that he is entering the NBA Draft. Warren was the Wolfpack's leading scorer and rebounder. He accounted for 35% of their points, had more made field goals than the next 3 guys combined and had 3 times as many steals as anybody else on the team.
Another impressive stat was the fact he had more offensive rebounds than the next 4 guys combined. He alone won many of their games, and kept them in the game in those close losses. The team got used to relying on him to carry them or in some situations, save them. That mentality will have to change as next year's roster will not have one guy that can carry the team by himself.
Alabama transfer, Trevor Lacy, will be eligible and will provide scoring, but not at Warren's level. He will need to help from highly-touted freshman, Caleb Martin, a 6'7" forward who can shoot the rock. Point guards Tyler Lewis and Cat Barber have to be more consistent in running the offense due to the fact that Warren won't be there to make up for their mistakes. Other guys like Lennard Freeman and Kyle Washington showed flashes of their potential in the postseason and will need to build on those performances. Gottfried will be working with a deeper roster which is key because it will take a total team effort to hold their own in the ACC and turn next year into more than just another rebuilding season.
The Tar Heels had what you could call a roller coaster of a season. Lots of high points and also some low points. There were the lows of losing to Belmont and the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the stress of the P.J. Hairston ordeal. Then there were the highs of beating Louisville, Michigan State and Kentucky.
Then the lows returned in starting out the ACC season 1-4 in the conference. That dip was then followed by the high of winning 12 games in a row, including a win over Duke. That win made UNC the first team to ever beat the AP Preseason Top 4 teams in a season. Some current and former coaches said this might even be Roy Williams' best coaching season yet at UNC, including ESPN Analyst, Seth Greenberg, who thought Williams was the ACC Coach-of-the-Year. Needless to say, it was an interesting season in Chapel Hill.
UNC finds itself in a different situation than Duke or NC State. The Tar Heels return the bulk of their line-up, with Leslie McDonald being the lone departure. Now that leading scorer, Marcus Paige, has confirmed he's returning to Chapel Hill, and James Michael McAdoo leaning that way, Williams will have 4 of his top 5 scorers back and his top rebounders back as well. Aside from Paige and McAdoo, look for Brice Johnson to build off a solid year and have a breakout season next year.
It won't hurt to have All-ACC Defensive player, J.P. Tokoto, playing with a year of starter experience under his belt and the continued improvement of Kennedy Meeks should be huge in establishing a strong front court with Johnson and McAdoo. The backcourt is getting big reinforcements with the arrivals of Joel Berry, Justin Jackson, and Theo Pinson, all in the ESPN Top 20. They represent the 3rd-ranked recruiting class in the nation and should help fill the holes that UNC had this season in scoring options and guard depth.
Roy Williams said last off-season and the beginning of this season was the hardest period he's ever dealt with in coaching. And yet, at the end of it he said it might have been the most rewarding season he's had and he couldn't be prouder of a team. Heading into next year with no distractions and a loaded roster with solid experience and talent should put Williams' Tar Heels back into the Final Four contender conversation.
So there you have it. The teams of the Triangle ended this season in disappointment and without a Sweet 16 appearance among them. Next season the ACC only gets tougher with the addition of Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals. Duke and UNC look like they'll be ready to return to the Sweet 16 and make possible Final Four runs. Mark Gottfried should have a deeper roster to work with in the Wolfpack's attempt to return to the NCAA Tournament and the Sweet 16. Of course, this is all on paper.
The hard work and improvement in the off-season will have to happen if any of these teams hope to reach their goals and get out of the Bermuda Triangle they found themselves in this past weekend.

Topics: Health Costs, Medicaid, Politics, States
May 26, 2011
The Boston Globe: Unions Soften Tone On Health Massachusetts labor leaders have given up their full-throated battle to protect certain collective bargaining rights amid an increasing likelihood that the Legislature will empower local governments to raise the health insurance costs of teachers, firefighters, and other municipal employees. Today, the Senate is to open debate on a state budget that includes a proposal, long sought by mayors and other local officials, to allow them to shift workers into less expensive health plans, even if unions oppose the changes. A month ago, before the House overwhelmingly approved a similar measure, labor leaders ran dramatic radio ads, held protests at the State House, and threatened to oust lawmakers. The standoff, they said, was a historic effort to ensure Massachusetts did not slide toward the tougher measures imposed in Wisconsin, Ohio, and elsewhere (Bierman, 5/25).
The Texas Tribune: Kolkhorst Keeps Heath Care Compact Bill Alive Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, threw herself a life raft tonight, attaching her Health Care Compact bill — a measure that would seek to give Texas control of the purse strings for Medicare and Medicaid — onto a Senate health care bill up on third reading in the House. That measure, Republican Sen. Jane Nelson's Senate Bill 8, now heads back to the upper chamber, where Nelson has had no luck getting enough Democrats on board to bring up House Bill 5, Kolkhorst's Health Care Compact, in time for tonight's midnight deadline (Ramshaw, 5/26).
The Times-Picayune: Louisiana State Budget Progress Halted In House [L]awmakers refused to go along with $81 million in health care cuts sought by Louisiana House leaders [Wednesday]. House leaders said the cuts were necessary to comply with a new rule -- approved earlier this week over objections from Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration -- that restricts how much "one-time" money can be spent on recurring government expenses. But a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers -- from liberal Democrats to conservative stalwarts -- rejected two attempts to cut money for the Medicaid program, which the administration said would translate to cuts of up to 8 percent in payments to doctors, hospitals and other health care providers that treat the poor and indigent (Moller, 5/25).
Seattle Times: Bipartisan State Budget Passes The Senate approved more than $4 billion in recession-driven budget cuts — to higher education, social services, health care and other programs — a day after the same budget passed the House. … Several groups already are threatening to contest the Legislature's cuts. … The state hospital association also has threatened to sue over reductions to Medicaid reimbursement rates. And the union representing state home-care workers also said it may run an initiative seeking to restore cuts (Brunner and Garber, 5/25).
Georgia Health News: State to Reduce Public Health Job Count Barely a month before becoming an independent agency, the state Division of Public Health has been told it must shed 186 positions. Public Health has hundreds of unfilled positions as a result of budget cuts over recent years, so it's possible that all the jobs that will disappear are currently vacant. The Governor's Office of Planning and Budget ordered the cuts as part of the fiscal 2012 budget (Miller, 5/25).
The Lund Report: Tighter Audits Due for Oregon Health Plan As lawmakers finalize a bill to make sweeping changes to the Oregon Health Plan, a battle is brewing behind the scenes with the managed care organizations that currently administer the Medicaid program's benefits. The vast majority of OHP enrollees, nearly 600,000 low-income Oregonians, are currently served by more than 40 managed care organizations throughout the state. ... State officials want to consolidate the number of plans (Rosenfeld, 5/25).
Health News Florida: Which Hospital Is Highest In Infections? Orlando Regional is disputing the results of a Medicare study that found an exceptionally high rate of life-threatening bloodstream infections -- a hospital-acquired illness that health officials say should never happen. The hospital's rate for the infection was 1.48 infections per 1,000 discharges, four times the national average. ... Medicare is making the information publicly available in the hope that public opinion will speed up hospitals' attempts to eradicate the infections (Davis, 5/25).

the methadone isnt helping like it use to but i am worried my doctor wont consider oxy as a option how should i go about it with the doctor? thanks, lanay
the methadone isnt helping like it use to but i am worried my doctor wont consider oxy as a option how should i go about it with the doctor? thanks, lanay
You're right – most doctors are hesitant when patients come in and ask for specific opioids. You might try just telling him the truth – that the methadone isn't helping like it used to – and ask for his suggestions. As you discuss the options, you could ask about oxycodone.
Have you tried either of the new drugs approved for fibromyalgia – Lyrica or Cymbalta? They can often be more effective than opioids when it comes to relieving FM pain. In fact, one study indicated that opioid medications do not work well for fibromyalgia because there seems to be a problem with opioids binding to the opioid receptors of FM patients. You can read more about that study here: Why Painkillers Don't Work on Fibromyalgia
Good luck. I hope you're able to find another medication that works for you.
I HAVE been on chronic pain meds since 1991, the day i had an accident, that broke my spine in 2, neck,leg,arm,jaw, and split my head open,i was paralyzed, and i almost died, and stood in a coma for 3 weeks, alltogether i spent 2 yrs in the hospital, to heal, and to learn how to walk, and eat again..
so i have been on so many old, and new pain medications, that i have lost count.
you name it, i have been on it, and ALL OF THEM, have brought me, AWFUL SIDE EFFECTS, and i have suffered through hell and back just to withdrawal from them.
from codeine, to morphine, to methadome, and any other drugs that combine
either of those or come from those, codeine,morphine, oxycontin, etc..
i tried the new ones too, basically, they work well, for a while, but as your body gets use to it, they start not doing what they suppose to do, unless you UP THE DOSE, ETC.ETC...plus the side effects, well, from constipation to dry mouth,
and then some, you need MORE MEDS, to help you with that.
at one time, i was taken over, 30 pills a day, it was unreal and unhealthy for me.
to make my story short, i tried CYMBALTA for depression, when it was still for DEPRESSION, now they say it helps my FIBRO, WELL, maybe i dont know, but
the only SURE THING IT DOES, when i DONT TAKE THE DOSE, my BRAIN, STARTS
TO 'SIZZLE' and i feel like somebody is 'ZAPPING' my brain/head.
SO THERE..NO DRUG, is WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES, AND/OR SIDE EFFECTS...
so, its up to you, to determine, if you can live with those....
I QUIT COLD TURKEY...i was so 'sick' from all of the 'SIDE EFFECTS' i prefferred
the pain, at some time...
until i found a very good dr, who took me off all the drugs, and just put me on
FENTANYL PATCH...and occasional DICLOFENAC/VOLTAREN....
So now, even though my pain, is within scale of 7-10 on a daily basis, 10 being the worst of pain, OF COURSE... I RATHER, occasionally be in pain, that addicted to all those drugs and side effects anytime, and feel crazy,sick, like a zombie, and crying all the time...
I THANK 'GOD' FOR FINDING A GOOD DOCTOR...AND understanding...of my PAIN..
be careful, and use your better judgement, when trying out new drugs, specially out of desperation, of your pain, sometimes, all it takes its a good MD, and someone who really cares about side effects and your health overall..
Well..hopefully..you are guided thru withdrawel from Methadone..carefully...its awfull...the worst thing ever..i went thru that and Oxy too...be very careful..with both...always be under Dr..orders...and guidance....
Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with this fella here. Although, I have not been through a Methadone withdrawal; I have been through Oxy and Heroin withdrawal and it is the most awful experience one can endure. I wish you the best in finding a medicine that works for you but just know that with all opiods you are playing with fire and the very strong possibility that you well become independent and looking to other means to acquire the high when the doctors cut you off... Stay strong, do your drugs as prescribed, and if all else fails shoot dope; its cheaper.
Do you're research and find out what you feel will work for you. Doctors don't spend the time you do in pain or reviewing your chart. Tell your doctor what you want to try and why. They are obligated to address your pain. There may be a reason not to try it, you should be told what it is. Have other alternatives if the Methadone isn't working. If you don't feel you're being listened to, consider changing doctors.
Frist of all I dont know how you managed to take methadone without thinking you were losing your mind.I was on it for a week and I was seeing things and hearing things that were not there.
I think you may find that your doc. may be happy to put you on oxycontin.This med. works grad. through out the day.My doc. likes oxy.Just ask .is the doc a pain doc? This can make a difference.PCP dont like to give big drugs like oxy.
