Apparently Stella Artois used to be advertised in the U.K. under the slogan "reassuringly expensive." Without knowing the relative merits of price and quality across the pond, I can only rejoice that such a snotty tagline has gone the way of doctors prescribing cigarettes. There is nothing reassuring about steep price in itself, in any facet of life, only points off for bottom-feeder prices that betray obvious crappiness. First time I went to New York City, I asked a guy in Times Square selling "I (heart) NY" shirts how he could afford to do so at $2 a pop. His single-word reply: "Volume." It still doesn't make any sense. I bought five.
Reassuringly expensive or just "more expensive than the cheap shit," Stella is still a fine beer. It's the best-selling brew out of Belgium, at least according to this unsourced source I found, though the "-twah" at its hind end will confuse the inattentive into believing it French. The otherwise pleasant Irishish pub in the Florida town where I lived in 2003, during the jingoistic run-up to invading Iraq, yanked Stella from its menu when red-meat Americans were boycotting all things French. "But—it's Belgian!" I stammered at the waiter when he told me. He apologized but held firm. Because Belgium is France just as sure as Ukraine is Russia, Mexico stretches to Colombia, Africa is a monolith and everyone between Kamchatka and Singapore is obviously Chinese or something.
So, to be clear, Stella is reassuringly Belgian. It's hardly a revelation, some beery wormhole to the center of the known beeriverse. Rather, it's a quite steady pale lager, a couple of steps above the desalinated sweat that is Heineken, but reminiscent. Any hints of flavor are vague at best. Somewhere back there you get grain, a note of fruit and damp leaves, a hint of old laundry, an aftertaste of entitlement. It's a beer to knock back after work with your tie loosened, when you don't really care what a beer costs, so long as it's not the cheapest on the menu, and you don't really care how it tastes, so long as it's crisp and unchallenging and possibly French, though who's to say what's from where in this crazy mixed-up world of ours.
Beer-game pairings
Chargers at Broncos, skip the "frost-brewed" malarkey. The Pacers are at Madison Square Garden, so why not. And on Monday, the Bears at the 49ers, because defense wins championships, as the French would surely tell you.

HII Wins 1.5B Deal to Build 15th LPD for U.S. Navy
Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) said that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division has received a $1.5 billion fixed-price-incentive modification to a previously awarded contract for the procurement of the detail design and construction of amphibious transport dock LPD 31. The ship will be the 15th in the San Antonio class and the second Flight II LPD.Ingalls' LPD Flight II program vendor base consists of more than 600 manufacturers and suppliers in 39 states, including 387 small businesses. More than 1,500 shipbuilders work on each LPD. Ingalls has delivered 11 San Antonio-class ships to the Navy, and it has three more under construction.
Navy Probe to Decide Future of Fired US Carrier Commander
Even as he is hailed as a hero by his crew, the fired commander of a coronavirus-stricken U.S. aircraft carrier is being reassigned while investigators consider whether he should face disciplinary action, acting U.S. Navy Secretary Thomas Modly told Reuters on Friday.Captain Brett Crozier was relieved of his command of the Theodore Roosevelt on Thursday after a scathing letter in which he called on the Navy for stronger action to halt the spread of the virus aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was leaked to the media.Modly said in an interview that the letter was shared too widely and leaked before even he could see it.
Bollinger Delivers USCGC Harold Miller
Bollinger Shipyards on Thursday delivered the USCGC Harold Miller to the U.S. Coast Guard in Key West, Fla. This is the 161st vessel Bollinger has delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard over a 35 year period and the 38th Fast Response Cutter delivered on the current program. The USCGC Harold Miller is the third of three FRCs to be home-ported in Galveston, Texas. "We are very proud to announce our latest FRC delivery, especially given the unprecedented times and challenges which we're facing as a nation," said Bollinger President & C.E.O. Ben Bordelon.
Lubrication Selection Fundamentals
As an operator of vessels, you understand that lubricants play an important role in helping you achieve your operational objectives. Yet, finding the right one can be overwhelming since there's an almost unlimited number of different lubricant formulations. An understanding of lubrication chemistry, performance expectations and operational objectives will help you select a lubricant that will improve operations and lower your overall costs.Lubrication benefitsThe basic function of a lubricant is to reduce friction by separating interacting surfaces. In operation, a lubricating oil or lubricating grease is applied to the surface and monitored for effectiveness.
Dredging: Managing the Impact of Channel Deepening and Widening on Surrounding Structures
U.S. ports have worked toward increasing the depth and width of their channels to allow for larger ships with greater capacities. The equation is generally: bigger ships = more throughput = increased profitability. But what are the impacts around a channel after it's widened? The ripple effects may go further than you think.Managing the Impact of Channel Improvement Projects on Structures and PipelinesWith more water to impact them, structures around an expanded channel may need improvements, and pipelines under the channel may need relocation to make way for dredging.

Handling loved ones' affairs
Legal affairs
Dealing with the Will, possessions and estate of a loved one can be a challenge, but here are a few useful pointers to get started.
First of all, you will need to locate the Will. You will probably have done this before the funeral, but in case you haven't that should be done as soon as is convenient.
You will then need to look into the first few urgent tasks of managing the estate of the deceased - again these may have been dealt with before the funeral. Talk to a legal advisor about:
- How to protect property, especially if it is unoccupied
- How to arrange insurance for assets and motor vehicles remaining in the deceased's name
- Potential future benefit entitlement and advice on stopping existing benefit payments in order to avoid repayment issues
If you need more detailed guidance, we offer free advice. One of our expert legal team will be happy to speak to you about your particular situation, confidentially and sympathetically, and help you decide what you need to do next. You can call The Co-op Legal Services on 0800 587 5266 or find out more https://www.co-oplegalservices.co.uk/probate-solicitors/.
Once the initial steps have been taken care of, you are ready to look at the probate and estate administration. Our legal advisors will help you to:
- Understand what Probate is and when it applies to the administration of the estate
- Assess whether Probate is required to administer the estate of the deceased
- Determine who is entitled to deal with the estate where there is a Will
- Determine who is entitled to deal with an estate where there is no Will (Intestacy)
- Understand the legal, tax and administrative work that will need to be done
Here to help
For help and support 24 hours a day, please contact your local Funeral Director, or you can contact us on the details below.

Drain Water Heat Recovery Devices
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 01, 2008
Drain water heat recovery (DWHR) devices are little-known but effective means to save hot water energy and homeowner dollars.
Heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) recover heat energy from air exhausted from homes, saving energy and money for the homeowner. But houses can use up to 20% of their energy heating water, and much of that energy can slip away down clothes washer, sink, and shower drains. Drain water heat recovery (DWHR) devices are little-known but effective means to save hot water energy and homeowner dollars. At the Canadian Centre for Housing Technology, we have been studying the effectiveness of DWHR devices. In our 2005 study, we found that DWHR devices recover energy almost exclusively during simultaneous water draws (showers), and that for modeling purposes, all other water draws could be ignored. Based on this conclusion, we sought to characterize the DWHR devices in order to develop an energy savings calculator. The purpose of our experiment was twofold. Our first purpose was to assess the performance of DWHR devices. Our second purpose was to develop standard tests and modeling methods that would enable manufacturers, utilities, policy makers, and consumers to estimate energy savings caused by these devices. The DWHR technologies we tested are fairly simple in design and can be effective in reducing the amount of energy needed to produce hot water (...

Symptoms of sickle cell disease may be noticed as soon as 4 months of age, or it may go undetected until later in the baby's first year of life.
Oxygen deprivation is a result of blood vessels that are blocked by the misshapen red blood cells of sickle cell anemia. Periods of acute oxygen deprivation cause severely painful episodes called pain crises. The location of the pain and the types of symptoms depend on what tissues or organs of the body have been deprived of oxygen.
Symptoms of sickle cell disease include:
- Fever
- Swollen hands and feet
Pain in:
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Legs
- Joints
- Bones
Enlarged organs, including:
- Heart
- Liver
- Spleen
- Increased risk of infection, especially pneumonia
Symptoms of anemia, including:
- Severe fatigue
- Headache
- Lightheadedness
- Shortness of breath
- Yellowish tone to the whites of the eyes and the skin—jaundice
Episodes of sickle cell crisis, including:
- Severe chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Severe abdominal pain
- Severe bone pain
- Nausea
- Fever
- In males, painful, prolonged erections of the penis which may result in impotence
Other medical conditions that can result from sickle cell disease include:
- Leg sores
- Gum disease
- Damage to the retina of the eye, resulting in vision loss
- Enlargement of the heart due to chronic anemia
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Kidney infections
- Kidney damage and eventual failure
- Bone infections or infarctions
- Gallbladder disease
- Spleen damage and destruction, resulting in an increased risk of certain infections
- Stroke
- Abnormal bone growth
- Delayed puberty
- Learning and behavior problems in children who have had severe, chronic oxygen deprivation of the brain
- Aplastic crisis or red cell aplasia
Sickle cell crisis can be provoked by certain triggers, including:
- Smoking
- Exercise
- Travel to high altitudes

Principal Proposed Uses
The mineral phosphorus is an essential part of the diet. In the human body, it is almost always found in an oxidized form known as phosphate. Bone contains the bulk of the body's phosphate. However, innumerable other substances in the body, such as cell membranes, contain phosphate as part of their structure. In addition, phosphate plays a central role in the fundament energy-producing processes of all life. Indeed, some biochemists believe that phosphate-based reactions in volcanic vents may have occurred before life itself developed, later to be incorporated into the first living cells.
In general, most people consume more than enough phosphorus in the diet. 3 It is present in high quantities in milk, other protein sources and grains. Additionally, it is added to many beverages and packaged foods.
Phosphorus deficiency may develop in certain circumstances, however. People with severe alcoholism may become deficient in phosphorus as well as other basic nutrients; deficiency may also occur in people with kidney failure, parathyroid dysfunction or poorly controlled diabetes . 4
Therapeutic Dosages
In studies of phosphate for enhancing sports performance, a one-time dose of one gram of tribasic sodium phosphate has been the most common dose.
For ongoing use as treatment for osteoporosis, advocates recommend that phosphate be taken as part of a calcium product that includes phosphate, such as milk products or the supplement tricalcium phosphate.
Therapeutic Uses
Because phosphate plays a fundamental role in the body's energy-producing pathways, it has been suggested that taking high doses of phosphate (phosphate loading) prior to athletic activities might enhance performance . Phosphate-containing chemicals are also part of the process that allows oxygen release from hemoglobin, and this too has intrigued researchers looking for ergogenic aids. However, while some studies have found that phosphate loading improves maximum oxygen utilization, others have not, and flaws in study design cast doubt on the positive results. 1-2,6-7
Although it has long been stated that high phosphorus intake due to consumption of soft drinks might lead to osteoporosis , there is no solid evidence for this claim; in fact, elevated intake of phosphorus may help prevent osteoporosis. 5 The reason for that is that bone contains both calcium and phosphate.
Safety Issues
In general, phosphorus is a safe nutritional substance.
One-time high intake of some forms of phosphate may cause diarrhea. It is also possible that ongoing intake of phosphorus at high levels may impair absorption of copper , iron and zinc . 8
Some evidence hints that excessive consumption of phosphorus in the form of soft drinks might increase kidney stone risk, but study results are contradictory, and if there is an effect it appears to be small. 9-11
Individuals with severe kidney disease should avoid phosphorus supplements, just as they must avoid taking too much of many other minerals.

text: Tuesday, May 01, 2012 Alabama Becomes 47th Direct Access State Patients in Alabama will soon be able to be evaluated and, in certain cases, treated by physical therapists (PTs) without first having to obtain a physician referral. With the enactment of Alabama House Bill 163, Alabama becomes the 47th state to achieve some form of direct access. HB 163, sponsored by state Rep Ed Henry and signed by Gov Robert Bentley yesterday, goes into effect July 1. Prior to implementation of HB 163, PTs were prohibited from performing a physical therapy evaluation unless the patient had a referral. The new law provides for direct access to evaluation, fitness, wellness, and prevention services, and for treatment under certain conditions. The legislation, which faced significant opposition, primarily from physician groups, is the culmination of many years of difficult work by the Alabama Chapter. Despite numerous obstacles, fierce and well-financed opponents, and the devastation of the April 27, 2011, tornado, the chapter was able to obtain a compromise from opponents on the bill that allowed its passage by the legislature. Per APTA's Strategic Plan, the chapter was provided direct access grants in 2011 and 2012 from the association. Read more about the chapter's advocacy efforts in APTA's press release. Emmett Parker, PT, MS, ATC, legislative chair for the Alabama Chapter, addresses attendees at a rally in 2011 at the Alabama State House in support of direct access to physical therapist services. Comments Congratulations to all the hard work you guys put in! Please don't let up, come back in time and go for unrestricted access, you came so close. Access, choice, and competition benefits the consumer provided safety is ensured. Nobody disputes this. Posted by Ryan Grella on 5/1/2012 6:01 PM Huge Congratulations guys! A great step in the direction of full direct access. Wish us luck over here in Texas as we give it another shot in 2013. Posted by Jarod Carter PT, DPT, MTC on 5/4/2012 1:41 PM Congratulations to Alabama!! We hope that our State of Michigan will be the 48th by the end of this year! Posted by Renee Hill, P.T. on 5/4/2012 2:19 PM I thought there were already 48 states with some form of direct access, and only Indiana and Indiana did not?? I believe when we mention direct access there is some confusing data presented. Some numbers reflect direct access in varying degrees and this should be clarified. Is it "access and treat", or "access for eval only" etc. This disparity seems to account for finding different numbers from different sources. Posted by Ed Scott PT, DPT, OCS on 5/5/2012 8:10 AM Congratulations! I was afraid Alabama might be last to get direct access. Great work! Rep. Nancy Garland Posted by Nancy Garland on 5/5/2012 5:09 PM Michigan is an evaluation but do not treat state. We are hoping for direct access this year. Congratulations to Alabama. Now it's time for all 50!!! Posted by Alan Hammond PT, DPT, CBIS on 5/8/2012 8:29 AM Will insurance companies reimburse us for these visits??? Posted by John Cormier -> =FT_=I on 7/3/2012 4:25 PM

Once I started training at Finish First I noticed a difference in my strength, speed, and power on and off the ice. There is no better place for a hockey player to train than Finish First. Where I am now in my career I can credit to Finish First, and I know continuing my training there will get me where I want to be."
--Matt Bartkowski, NHL Vancouver Canucks
"Coach Jeremy Hoy and Finish First is one of if not the main reason I am where I am today. If it were not for his sport-specific training programs, I could only have dreamt of making it this far. Any athlete who has any aspirations of making it to the next level is foolish to not train with Finish First. Regardless of your current skill, going anywhere else to train is a waste of time, money and talent."
--Christian Hanson, NHL Forward (Retired)
"I've been forutnate enough to train with Jeremy and Finish First for almost 20 years. His training system specifically addressed my needs as a developing youth hockey player and changed to specifically address my needs as I matured as a player throughout juniors, college, and the pros. Using the Finish First Sports Performance training programs, I was able to play at my strongest, fastest, and in the best shape possible, while staying healthy for a long productive career. I can't recommend this training enough. If you do it, and commit to getting better, you will get better--guaranteed!"
--Sean Berkstresser (Voss), 9 Year Professional Hockey Player, RMU NCAA D1 Hockey Alum

I spent six weeks going to FFSP two and three times a day and each time I had a unique workout that helped me achieve the results I desired.

--Brianne McLaughlin, Goaltender, USA Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team
"I spent six weeks at Finish First Sports Performance working intensely with Coach Hoy to prepare for the Miss America pageant. I worked out three times a day, every day! Coach Hoy pushed me harder than I ever could have imagined possible. When I felt defeated, he always had an inspirational story or quote to re-inspire me, and then he would push me harder. Jeremy saw an inner-strength and confidence in me even when I struggled to see it in myself. ..."
--Miss Pennsylvania America 2009, Shannon Doyle
"Prior to training with Jeremy Hoy and the team at Finish First, one of the biggest knocks I received from coaches was my endurance. I would slowly wear down as the season went on, which would make me lose a step in a game where every inch is so important. Since I began my off-season training with Jeremy's programs in the summer of 09' this has no longer been an issue. ...Jeremy has made me a much more explosive and confident power forward. ..."
--Chris Kushneriuk, Professional Hockey Player (Retired)

I've played for many teams and have had countless different trainers and training programs, and they weren't even close.

--Brock Meadows, Professional Hockey Player, Texas Brahmas (Retired)
"Having competed at the local, state and national levels before coming to Jeremy, I always knew how I wanted to look but never got precisely the results I was striving for. With FFSP, I was able to SURPASS my expectations and become the strongest competitor I could be. Combined with expertise in training, nutrition and overall health, I thank Jeremy and his staff for making me both mentally and physically STRONG! ..."
--Elyse Healy, Top 10 Miss PA 2010
"I trained under Jeremy Hoy at Finish First Sports Performance in preparations for the 2009 and 2010 Miss Pennsylvania pageants.

Wales is thought of as a corner of England, but it really has its own culture, history and even its own language. Of course, English is widely spoken and seen on signs, but the locals speak Welsh to each other. Wales is thought of as a rural place by the English, and it generally is. The rolling hills in the countryside seem to go on forever, only punctuated by small villages and historic castles.
What To Do
Cardiff is the capital and largest city and was always thought of as an industrial town, but recent modernization has done wonders and now the city center is lively and current. The nightlife and shopping are comparable to large cities even though the town has a compact feel. Cardiff Castle is one of the main attractions and admission is now free. Cardiff Bay is a great place for a stroll, a meal, or a few drinks.
Swansea is the second largest city and is located on the picturesque Gower Peninsula. This relaxed city was once a spa town and home to the world's first passenger railway, but now it's a travel destination for those wanting to soak in the lush scenery and stroll in the Maritime Quarter. The nearby suburb of Mumbles as a historic old town as well as a 12th Century castle.
Getting There
Most people arrive in Wales by car or train, but it is possible to book a flight into Cardiff International Airport. There are flights available from within the UK and to some other European cities, but it's probably best to fly into London first if you are coming from overseas. The airport is a bit outside of Cardiff, but regular bus services can take you into the city center.
Where To Stay
There are hostels all over Wales and many hostels in Cardiff and some in Swansea. There are hotels and B&Bs in Cardiff and Swansea as well and summer is the major season here so book well ahead if you want your choice of the better places.

Halo Developer Bungie Partners with Activision
The agreement will see Activision granted exclusive worldwide publishing and distribution rights for all future Bungie games based upon the new intellectual property, though Bungie will remain independent and retain control of the mystery property.
[UPDATE] Furthermore, the new property will be coming to "all platforms." [/UPDATE]
"We chose to partner with Activision on our next IP because of their global reach, multi-platform experience and marketing expertise," said Bungie president Harold Ryan, who oversaw Bungie's split from Microsoft in 2007, in the announcement. "From working together over the past nine months on this agreement, it is clear that Activision supports our commitment to giving our fans the best possible gaming experiences."
"Bungie has developed some of the most compelling and successful games, multiplayer experiences and thriving fan communities, and this alliance underscores our long-standing commitment to foster the industry's best creative talent," enthused Activision Blizzard COO Thomas Tippl. "Our unprecedented partnership with Bungie will enable us to broaden our pipeline of exciting new games as we continue to strengthen our industry position and pursue long-term growth opportunities."
The announcement comes during an otherwise-troubled month for the video games leviathan. Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith resigned last week and Activision is currently being sued for $125 million by current and former members of its Infinity Ward studio. At least twenty-one have now quit the Call of Duty creator, several of them to join Infinity Ward's recently-fired co-founders Vince Zampella and Jason West at their newly-formed studio, Respawn Entertainment.
If you only accept news in video format, Activision has also released a video announcement featuring its own Thomas Tippl and Bungie's Harold Ryan.

A/C in the Southeast, Part 2: The Best Way to Cool Homes in Humid Climates?
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2014 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 01, 2014
Fix the Home First
This is the second article of a two-part series on cooling in the Southeast. Part 1 focused on what makes cooling in the region unique. Part 2 focuses on humidity control. Determining the best way to cool homes in a high-humidity climate is a complex problem with many answers. According to Dane Christensen, senior engineer in Residential Building Efficiency at DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), best could mean best opportunity for maximum cost efficiency, best performance, or a single option that provides both. Knowing what's going on in the home, planning ahead, and researching the options helps homeowners to make the best decision when their existing A/C system fails.

The management of glaucoma depends on the type, the underlying cause, and the severity of the disease. Treatment may involve medications in the form of eye drops or oral medications, laser procedures, or surgery.
Glaucoma cannot be cured. The focus and goal of treatment is to control the disease and prevent or slow any further visual damage from occurring.
Numerous studies have shown that lowering the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) decreases the risk of glaucoma progression. Just how much to lower the pressure and exactly how to do it is different for everyone. In some cases, you and your doctor may decide against treatment and opt to monitor your eyes for disease progression. If your doctor prescribes treatment, it is important that you follow the regimen as closely as possible.

October is breast cancer awareness month, and for a good reason; approximately 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
Maybe you already know that breast cancer is pretty common. Maybe you already know why we see a lot of pink during the month of October. Maybe you know how important mammograms are for women later in life. But, there's still a lot of information that people don't know regarding breast cancer. Here are some facts to get you better educated on the disease.
1.A lump isn't a sure sign of cancer.
Lumps are the most common sign of breast cancer, but 80 percent of them turn out to be benign! Other signs include persistent itching, nipple discharge, or a bug-bite like bump on the skin. Any changes or irregularities in your breasts should be reported to a doctor ASAP.
2.Secondhand smoke and alcohol increases your risk.
Studies have shown an increased risk in breast cancer (up to three times) for women regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Drinking one alcoholic drink per day only slightly increases a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, but bump that up to two to five drinks a day, and the risk increases by one and a half times.
3.It's not just genetics from the mother's side that matter.
Genes from both the father's and the mother's side of the family play an important role in determining risk. If a relative on your father's side had breast cancer, you have an increased risk of being diagnosed as well.
4.Men can get breast cancer.
More than 2,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, according to the American Cancer Society. While this is a small number compared to how many women will be diagnosed, men are typically diagnosed at a later stage. How do men get breast cancer? They have breast tissue. But, their numbers are lower because their breast duct cells are less developed and they have less of the female hormones that can cause problems.
5.Early diagnosis is key in beating breast cancer.
According to estimates, 96 percent of women who detect their cancer early enough will be cancer-free in five years. The overall five-year survival rate is 89.4 percent, and 98.6 percent for those with localized forms of cancer. The earlier you can catch it, the better!

Well, we had a thread for this but it seems a few server upgrades has(have?) removed most of the images.http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,4533.0.htmlYes, Marat, very handsome...
Marat,Cool Bible. Can you post a link to where it is on Amazon.com?Thanks
I looka like a man!
He lets me hold him like a baby, like in this picture.
Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
I would post a couple of pictures if one of you guys would show this luddite how to do it!
Hey, Marat, I have the same Bible. I do like the iconography on the front. I found part of it online.
Ah yes, I had an old cat who was very pious, but he had to move on to staretskats heaven. My dog otoh, he's definitly a faithful Jew. It's never a pretty picture when Christmas comes around. Speaking about pictures that aren't pretty, I guess I can go ahead and post mine.
Here's me:
That's Madingley Hall, an Elizabethan manor house near Cambridge, England.
Me and one of my cats, Sketch, who thinks that he's a parrot and that I'm Long John Silver.Actually, Sketch is a very pious cat. See the Icon of St. Paraskevi in the background? Sketch wont eat his dinner unless her lamp is lit first. I think he developed this habit because I would always light the lamp on coming home before feeding them when they were kittens. Sketch's brother, Charcoal, on the other hand is heterodox I think- he'll eat no matter what. Or perhaps he's just a glutton.
You look somehow... what's the word? furrier than I had figured! And such a dour look on your face!

An atrioventricular (AV) canal defect is a rare heart defect. There is a large hole in the center of the heart that connects all 4 chambers.
The heart is made up of 2 upper chambers and 2 lower chambers. Usually, blood flows from the upper to lower chamber on the right side of the heart to the lungs. The blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and passes back into the upper chamber of the left side of the heart. It then passes to the lower chamber of the heart and out to the body.
The AV canal defect causes blood in the different chambers to mix. This means that some of the blood that is sent out to the body has not passed the lungs to pick up oxygen. The body does not get enough oxygen.
AV canal defect is a congenital defect. This means that the baby is born with it. It is not known exactly why some babies' hearts develop abnormally.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase the risk of congenital heart defects include:
- Family history of congenital heart defect
- Certain chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome
- Previous pregnancy with fetal heart abnormalities or miscarriage
Maternal conditions and factors, such as:
- Being infected with a virus
- Having poorly controlled diabetes
- Drinking alcohol
- Taking certain medications
Symptoms may include:
- Fast breathing
- Poor feeding
- Slow growth
- Bluish skin color
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Lowered alertness
- Wheezing
- Swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet
- Sweating
- Fast heart beat
- Sudden weight gain from retained fluid
This condition can lead to heart failure . If your child has any of these symptoms, get emergency medical care right away.
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of your child's heart. This can be done with:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
Surgery is usually recommended to correct the defect. The goal of surgery is to close the hole with a patch.
Lifelong Monitoring
After surgery, your child will need to have regular visits with a heart doctor. The doctor may recommend that your child:
- Make lifestyle changes, including limiting certain activities.
- Take medications to treat symptoms after surgery.
- Take antibiotics before medical or dental procedures to prevent infections.
Since the cause is not clear, AV canal defects usually cannot be prevented. Prenatal care can decrease the risk of some congenital defects.

Friday, February 9
Of Yankees and Yams
I looked over at Jeff thinking: Great, these Southerners don't know the difference between a sweet potato and a yam.
At the same time the farmer looked over at his wife behind the cash box thinking: Great, another Yankee who doesn't know the first thing about potatoes.
He then explained to me that a yam is really just an orange-fleshed sweet potato. Unlike their white-fleshed counterparts, however, these tubers are so sweet that even when eaten plain they taste like sugar has been added to them. In fact, that first week I used them to make a sweet potato pie (from a wonderful recipe from this same farmer). I brought him a piece the next weekend. Who would have known that the simple sweet potato (er, yam) could be the basis of a rapprochement of the North and South.
I tossed this recipe together recently with some fresh citrus and ginger to add a little sparkle. I've also used winter squash or carrots instead of yams.
Baked Yams with a Citrus Glaze and Toasted Pecans
Makes 2 servings.
Print recipe only here.
1 large yam
Some cooking spray or a little olive oil for coating the yam
1 tsp butter
¼ cup orange or tangerine juice
1 tsp of good honey
About 1 tsp of grated fresh ginger
About 1 tsp of orange zest
About 1 tsp of lemon zest
A pinch of ground cinnamon
A pinch of nutmeg
Some salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped, toasted pecans for garnish
To toast the pecans, pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Layer the pecans on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, or until slightly toasty and aromatic.
Bump up the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil (for easy clean-up). Slice a yam in half, lengthwise, and coat the flesh with some cooking spray or a little olive oil; place face down on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces it. Remove from oven, and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a small pan over medium-low heat, whisk the butter, orange juice, and honey until combined. Add the remaining ingredients, and heat for a couple of minutes, until it begins to slightly thicken and bubble up.
Once the yams are cooled, scoop out the cooked flesh, and place it in a bowl. Pour the citrus glaze on top, and mix well. Add toasted pecans.
Serving Suggestion: This pairs well with pan-seared tofu or pork.

Ooooh -- honey, ginger, cinnamon and sweet potato -- what could be bad???? I've been trying to eat more sweet potatoes (or are they yams?) lately, as they are so nutritionally powerful. Thanks for the recipe.

Thanks for solving the age old debate of what's a yam, and what's a sweet potato. And the recipe sounds excellent - a good example of Yankee ingenuity!

- Susan from Food Blogga said...
Whatever they are, they're wonderful! Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
I know, just roasted with nothing on them, and I still love 'em.
Ooh, thanks so much! Glad it made you smile.:)
"Cold"? Well...It's about 67 right now but overcast and windy. So I'm feeling pretty chilly. But I heard Buffalo has had 8 ft. of snow and is excpecting 2 more, so I'll shut up now.
Thanks! I hope you like it!
You are so right!
Spoken like a true Yankee. Thanks!

I'm a total sweet potato addict - I can't get enough of them, especially the "red garnet" variety. And I love citrus and sweet potatoes so this recipe is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing =)
- February 10, 2007 at 1:08 AM
Oh I am laughing - relieved I am not the only one who has had "experiences" moving away from New England. I can't wait to hear about other encounters!
Great recipe! Sounds deee-lish!

Oh yummy yams you've cooked here:)
I've always wondered if yams belonged to the same family as sweet potatoes, thanks for highlighting this!
- February 10, 2007 at 10:15 AM
One of our favorite sweet potato rendition is mashed sweet potatoes with chipotle, a recipe from Alton Brown. It's so delicious and yours looks great, I love the addition of pecans.

Hey FoodBlogga - My office serves free lunch and recently, they have been serving up a lot of this yam...exactly like the one you made...I was confused like you too, because I always think of yam as the white color variety...thanks for explaining. :)

Very yummy--I just fixed a sweet potato souffle that even my veggie-phobic husband will eat. I love yams/sweet potatoes/whatever you want to call them.
- February 10, 2007 at 4:32 PM
I had something like this on Thanksgiving and it was my absoloute favorite part of the meal. The yams were pureed and baked with sugared pecans on top. I bet this is just as good. I'll have to try it!

Susan, before I read your post, I thought yam and sweet potato were different too!

I love sweet potatoes/yams too and until I read your post have always thought they were different.
I wonder how much collective time in the world has been wasted by people like me looking for one of these when we could only find the other? It's probably a lot of time. Oh well...
I love sweet potato pie and and oven fried sweet potatoes, which I may make tonight...

Urban Vegan-
I'll trade you some sweet potatoes for some tofu stix. :)
You're welcome!
Thanks! Mmm, the heat from the chipotle must contrast nicely with the sweet yams.
Rasa Malaysia-
You're welcome!
Sweet potato souffle? Sounds wonderful!
Thanksgiving is the ultimate food day! Thanks, hope you like it!
I hear ya! :)
Since that first sweet potato pie, I've been hooked!

I hate to go against the info of a farmer, but I lived in West Africa for a couple of years, and there really is a difference between yams and sweet potatoes...it's just that we don't have true yams in America. Here we have used the terms "yam" and "sweet potato" interchangeably for the same thing.
A real yam has a white flesh and is a lot like a potato but except a little more dense (not a real good description)...I know that I can't prove that I know what I'm talking about, but I just stumbled upon your blog and thought I'd share what I knew...
- February 19, 2007 at 12:23 PM
- Taylor said...
Just found your blog the other day – beautiful.
I'm gonna have to agree with Sandi - sweet potatoes and yams are two different plants, but the names "sweet potato" and "yam" are used interchangeably in the US for the sweet, orange-fleshed tuberous root you used in your recipe. What you're using is really a sweet potato. (Sorry, I work with plants and am a nerd like that.)
What is the difference between a sweet potato and a yam.

It's way too warm in Colorado to start thinking about Christmas — our bodies rebel at the idea of hanging holiday lights when it's sixty degrees outside, or at least mine does. Still, we have no choice. The holidays are right on top of us. That means that we're about to head into the Sticky Season at work, and I'm not talking about the vats of vendor-sent caramel corn filling up breakrooms across America.
The holidays are sticky at work because they remind us of the tectonic plates that we navigate every day at the juncture of work and life. Holidays are about life and the passing of seasons, and celebration and ritual and color and family. Work, for the most part (unless you've got an awesome job that I'm sure Denver Post readers are dying to hear about!) is not. Work is spreadsheet-y, analytical, black and white and crisp, with square corners. Holidays are buoyant and joyous and personal and emotional. It's not always easy to balance the two energies at this time of year.

The best part is that you can't get stuck and tie it all up<:) Also it doesn't take much time to figure it out. P.S. Don't do in car you will lose the metal ball

It seems like bears are getting more and more comfortable these days when it comes to waltzing on into your neighborhood and taking whatever they want. It's possible for everyone to live in harmony, but it's going to take a little work from the humans in the equation. Densely populated regions across North America are taking steps to protect both bears and people.
Why the heck are bears so into human communities anyway? Don't they have bear-like things to do in the wild? Well, "the wild" is shrinking; habitat is being eaten at an alarming rate each year as a result of commercial, residential and agricultural development. That puts pressure on bears to find new places to live, and to seek out new food sources because their natural supplies of fish, berries and plants are dwindling.
Human communities offer something bears want, especially in August and September, when they're preparing for a long hibernation: food. Most neighborhoods, as well as campsites, are like an all-you-can-eat buffet, open 24 hours a day for any bear enterprising enough to take a little stroll and see what's available. Once bears learn that a neighborhood has one or more food sources, they'll be back again and again.
If a community doesn't have any food, bears might pass through, but they're unlikely to cause any damage. They're naturally pretty shy, and don't want to deal with humans if they can avoid it, although they may lash out if they're diseased, feel threatened, or think they need to protect cubs. By keeping a community's food supplies locked up, which involves working with everyone who lives there, it's possible to encourage bears to move on to greener pastures — and to stay wild.
For starters, no loose food should be stored outside. All pet and livestock feed should be kept in bearproof containers in secured areas like locked sheds, and if animals are fed outside, they should be fed only enough to supply their needs for a meal. Better yet, feed pets and livestock when they're tucked indoors for the night, and make sure homes, stables and similar structures are secured. If you feed birds, keep the feeders at least 20 feet off the ground and four to six feet away from tree trunks to make them hard to reach.
If you're a gardener, you'll want to take some extra steps to avoid feeding the bears with your hard-grown produce! Harvest fruits and veggies as soon as they ripen, and keep your compost in a tightly secured area. Consider adding lime to cut down on food smells. You may want to consider an electric fence to keep bears out of orchards, gardens and other areas, and that goes double for bee hives, which bears adore. Remember Winnie the Pooh? Yeah, it's less cute when it's an actual black bear homing in for a snack.
For even better bear control when it comes to compost, consider composting grass and plant clippings outdoors, and using a vermicomposting system in the kitchen or a secure shed. You can compost food waste there and add it to the soil when it's mature, all while keeping it away from the sharp noses of ursine visitors. Either way, do not add animal products like bones to the compost, as these can be bear attractants even after the compost has broken down.
You're going to need to get your neighbors on board with this plan so that when bears pop by for a round of shopping, they'll find that all the stores are closed. If some of your neighbors can't afford bearproof containers and other safety measures, consider creating a community fund or applying for assistance from government agencies. Make sure that everyone, including children, is educated about keeping food products out of range of bears.
And when bears do show up, make it clear that they need to move along. If you see a bear in the street or your yard and you can safely do so, make some noise. Clatter pan lids, use a wooden spoon on a pot, or use a bullhorn to startle the bear and encourage it to get out of the neighborhood. Do this from the safety of your home, but before you do, check to make sure no one's out in the street; a neighbor could be harmed if the bear startles.
If you notice a recurring visitor or a bear won't leave, call your local division of wildlife services and ask for assistance. They can monitor the bear and remove it, if necessary, relocating it to a safer location where it can live out its natural life in conditions more appropriate for wildlife. Be aware that the longer bears have to get accustomed to living around humans, the harder it can be for them to return to the wild.
And, we hope it goes without saying: Don't feed the bears!
