One night while I was in college, eating dinner at my fraternity house, somebody in the crowd told the following joke:
Q: What are the three shortest books ever written?
A: "Italian War Heroes," "Jewish Business Ethics" and "Negroes I've Met While Yachting."
On my honor, I still don't know who told the joke. I just remember the entire room laughed at it, and then, as things died down, one of the brothers gleefully repeated the final line, "Negroes I've met while yachting!" It was right then that Willard Dumas, the student body president at the time, running for re-election, announced his presence to the room. Willard is black.
"Gentlemen," he said, and he began his pitch for votes. Everybody went silent and listened to him, and then he left. I don't know how long he had been there. I don't know if he heard the joke. All I do know is that I had a lot of respect for Willard. He was smart, eloquent, with real charisma. He carried himself like he came from a family with means (which many of my fellow students did), but he didn't flaunt it. He was good-looking. He was an academic standout. And he was the butt of this stupid joke. If he heard it, he did not let on.
My school had a serious racism problem. It probably still does, in truth. But as Willard left, and the entire room had that awkward silence that follows being busted at something, I thought about how well Willard took it. I thought about how well he probably took it every single day. I thought of how many people in that room who didn't have the courage to own their racism and accept the consequences for it. I thought of how many people in that room, like myself, didn't have the courage to call anybody out for it. And I thought about how all of that was just the tip of the iceberg.
There are some life insurance companies doing great work with multicultural outreach, from firms that are aggressively recruiting a diverse workforce to those that are selling to otherwise under-served ethnic markets. And while I applaud these efforts, I can't help but think that this industry still is a whole lot of white people selling to a whole lot of white people. It's certainly what I see whenever I attend an industry event, or speak with industry figures outside of the office.
On the one hand, I have been told directly by minorities in this industry that this is a great line of work for them. They can set their own limits, and their carrier support has been great. On the other hand, this industry is not doing nearly enough to reach people who, by a mix of outright societal racism and the economic consequences that follow it, have been largely denied the benefit that life products offer to families looking to build multigenerational wealth.
Case in point: A lot of minorities are in the same middle market now that most agents and brokers simply do not want to serve because the economics of it do not work. Why grind out 100 dining room pitches to make three sales when you can make way more money selling to five high-net-worth clients? That makes sense, but it is also leaving an entire swath of people unserved, when they have already gone unserved for so many other reasons. Obviously, the industry needs to fix its middle market conundrum if it wants to sell more life insurance to more people. And maybe it will. But perhaps the spur of knowing that, until they do, they're fueling a residual effect of generations of racism will speed things along.
So says the white guy who has never once been hurt by racial discrimination. Maybe I'm full of it. I trust my friends will let me know if I am.

If you're like us, you'd do almost anything to avoid the throngs of people lining up at the register for Halloween costumes. The good news is…you can! Creating your own Halloween costume doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. All you need to do is think of an easily recognizable character and collect the items needed to bring it to life. The best part is that you may already have some of the items lying around the house. Not feeling creative? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Rosie the Riveter
Items needed:
• Blue button-down shirt (preferably denim)
• Red polka-dot scarf, bandana, or piece of fabric large enough to make a head wrap
• Black eyeliner/eyebrow pencil
• Blue jeans
• Work boots
• "We Can Do It" sign (optional) - poster board, blue paint, white paint (or white letter decals), scissors. Cut out in a "conversation bubble" shape.

Hi All,
After looking on forums and the internet I still have problems to connect KaKu (Klik Aan Klik Uit) to OpenHab.
I hoped to find a "How To Do" but couldn't find it.
Just started with OpenHab with the following configuration:
- RaspberryPi with OpenHabian (and also a windows pc with Openhab for testing)
- RFXCom RFXtrx433XL
- Klik aan Klik uit (several components (Dimmer, Blinds), also Hub ICS-2000 (Which I thing can be removed if RFXCom is working)
- IKEA Tradfri (1 Lamp and 1 Hub).
Now I can control the Tradfri lamp but I don't have a clue how to connect KaKu.
are there examples available?

The Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke – directed by Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva – 2011 – Raindance Film Festival – London
This was a fantastic short film I saw at Raindance Film Festival. The film is completely surreal and very comic, the design of the film is also wonderfully inventive. The film is made entirely of sets and much of the film is made of crude cardboard cut outs that are painted quite childishly. They also … Continue reading
The Kill List – directed by Ben Wheatley – 2011
The Kill List is the second film by a new promising British director Ben Wheatley. The film has received positive reviews and been well discussed in the media, however the main point of discussion was how the film could be categorised. Initially the film seems to be a mundane portrayal of two middle aged men … Continue reading

This is a very fun film, created in a mockumentary style it managed to have genuinely scary moments.

This film could be considered a ridiculous one and the idea certainly borders on it.

However, the film does showcase some excellent acting, notably from the two female leads Kirsten Dunst and … Continue reading

Welcome to to 2016 everyone! It has been remarkably cold in Colorado this year and this beautiful family from Arizona braved the frigid temperatures in order to capture these fantastic family photos. I photographed the Smith family almost 2 years ago for the first time, and I am so glad they came back to me for more photos!
Their visit to Colorado was their daughters first time seeing real snow. It had never crossed my mind when a family lives in a warm climate that a kiddo wouldn't realize that snow is actually cold! Even still, both girls were great sports and gave me the most beautiful smiles. Thank you Sassy, for starting this new year off so beautifully, it was so great to have your family in my studio in again!

How Bees Are Used To Treat Serious Illness
NewsNet5, 11/25/2009
If you drive down one quiet country road in Warren Ohio, you'll probably notice The Hive. Inside, as you would expect, you'd find bees.
But what you might not expect to see is a man intentionally stinging people with those bees.
Karen McGhee, 59, said when she tells people about her bee sting therapy, she gets the same reaction, "'Ah, you're crazy! Why do you want to do that?'"
For McGhee, the answer is simple. She said the bee venom alleviates her pain and weakness from multiple sclerosis.
"If I couldn't do the bees, I'd probably be maybe in a wheelchair, not being able to walk very well," McGhee said.
Floyd Alexander has been stinging McGhee twice a week for five years now. He said he's stung more than 2,000 people since he started offering this therapy about 15 years ago…

Contact: Nate Kaplan-(213) 473-7011, Richard Kearns-(310) 488-1328
Forum Open to the Public
Los Angeles – Los Angeles City Councilmember Bill Rosendahl is co-costing an "HIV/AIDS Advocacy Summit and New Media Training Conference" with the City's AIDS Coordinator's Office, and a coalition of Los Angeles grassroots advocacy organizations led by activist Richard Kearns.
The conference will be held on the 27th Floor of City Hall in the Tom Bradley Tower on Friday, February 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The program will offer instruction on:
- building a website from scratch
- practicing posting videos & text
- meeting with city councilmembers and their staff
- empowering adult activists and their allies with new media and networking skills
"This is a great opportunity for people living with HIV and AIDS to learn how to use the Internet to communicate with each other and the world," said Rosendahl. "This day-long training session will educate and empower individuals to use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other online sources to network and express themself through the powerful medium of the Internet."
Kearns, a 58 year-old gay man living with AIDS in Los Angeles for more than 20 years, is a member of the growing group of long-term survivors. He is a community-based Internet advocate, an AIDS activist, and publisher of two blogs. His has become a familiar face at LA City Council meetings, where he speaks regularly on issues that affect people living with HIV in Los Angeles, such as aging, the assisted healthcare system, and medical cannabis.
"Everyone treats us as liabilities when in fact, we are resources – both to ourselves and to our community," said Kearns. "However, as a group, I'd also characterize elder people living with HIV and AIDS as 'internet reluctant,' and 'technology resistant.' The question becomes this: Why should we let ourselves be intimidated by something a nine-year-old can master in a single sitting?"
Anyone interested in attending the free conference should contact Richard Kearns at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 310-488-1328.

Re: string character codesOOPer Dec 15, 2016 3:55 AM (in response to ShinehahGnolaum)
"Character code" is not a simple thing, someone assumes each byte value of UTF-8 representation as a "character code", another would think each UTF-16 code unit as a "character code".
Here, I show you how to get each Unicode code point from String, but remember this may not be an expected value as "character code".
import UIKit var str = "Hello, playground" str.unicodeScalars.forEach { print(String(format: "U+%04X", $0.value)) } /*↓ U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F U+002C U+0020 U+0070 U+006C U+0061 U+0079 U+0067 U+0072 U+006F U+0075 U+006E U+0064 */
str = "I live in \u{1F1EF}\u{1F1F5}" //Unfortunately this site is not good at showing emojis. '\u{1F1EF}\u{1F1F5}' representa a single emoji character. str.unicodeScalars.forEach { print(String(format: "U+%04X", $0.value)) } /*↓ U+0049 U+0020 U+006C U+0069 U+0076 U+0065 U+0020 U+0069 U+006E U+0020 U+1F1EF U+1F1F5 */
Or, if you want an Array of UnicodeScalar values, you can write something like this:
let unicodeScalarArray = str.unicodeScalars.map {$0.value} print(unicodeScalarArray) //->[73, 32, 108, 105, 118, 101, 32, 105, 110, 32, 127471, 127477] print(String(unicodeScalarArray[0], radix: 16)) //->49 ("49" is hexadecimal representaion of 73 (='I'))
Anyway, you need to clarify what your "character code" is, first.
Re: string character codesShinehahGnolaum Dec 15, 2016 9:42 AM (in response to OOPer)
str.unicodeScalars.forEach shows up as a method in code completion. How would I be able to figure out what you showed me from Xcode's code completion feature?
Re: string character codesOOPer Dec 15, 2016 9:58 AM (in response to ShinehahGnolaum)
With just relying on Xcode suggestion, it's hard to find a feature which just fits for your purpose.
Read as much documentations as you can.
For example: String
You can find some explanation about Unicode Scalar View, UTF-16 View and UTF-8 View.
Read and try.

According to the reputable online gambling news site, Woo (or as we like to type her name around the WCP compound, "W( . )( . )") and Larson "exchanged tongue tributes while admiring one another's knockers" and "[r]omped in a seedy Amsterdam dive bar, then disappeared into the night."
Also among the possible beneficiaries of Larson's morally casual attitude at the time was online gambling publisher and editor Michael Caselli. A photo of the two from a few years ago appeared recently in the The Sun newspaper, which also had the following to say:
"It seems that back in the day (Larson) was so desperate for fame no pose was considered too tacky.
"Whether it was posing with another girl in a suggestive way or promoting a radio station in a bikini with the logo printed on her backside, Sarah was up for it."
And we love her for it, because promo/booth babes are second only to former pageant chicks when it comes to girls we respect, if that in any way means want to

KITA Japanese Dining
Though the number of Italian restaurants in Tsukuba is countless, you cannot really say the same for Japanese ones. I am a big fan of Japanese food and really like kaiseki meals…at non-kaiseki prices (lunch averages at around 1600yen). In Ninomiya you can experience mini-kaiseki at Kita restaurant, located just behind NON cafe. (same building but way back, kind of hidden)
The food you'll find at Kita is Japanese with a slight French/Italian twist. Everyday Japanese fare doesn't tend to have cream in it though some dishes at this restaurant do. Standard mini-dishes are: sashimi, vegetarian nigiri sushi, some meat or fish main, and some fried croquette. (As you can see from the picture, there is a total of 6 mini-dishes – this is their standard way of serving up lunch and dinner)
Topping off the meal is a seasonal dessert dish. Once I got fresh fruit with red bean topping, round piece of shiruko (sweet sticky rice ball) with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Another time it was fresh fruit jelly. Another time it was 5-layer ice cream with exotic flavors like mango, black sesame, green tea… You can order drinks but the lunch set comes with black tea or coffee, both are self-service.
While the desserts tend to change, some may find the menu choices at this particular restaurant to be somewhat too constant (similar). That being said, the overall quality is always guaranteed to be excellent – freshly prepared tasty dishes! While the vegetables are not organic, the owner makes an effort to use fresh local produce in the dishes. Please try it out sometime, I don't think you'll regret it. It is a good place to bring out-of-town guests. The last time I brought 5 friends there and every one of them was impressed and satisfied with the lunch.
A review, in Japanese can be viewed here:

TIFF '10: Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington in "Last Night"
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: We continue to preview anticipated titles screening at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival in our "Road to Toronto" feature.
The fest kicks off on Sept. 9, and HollywoodNews.com will be on the ground bringing you reviews, interviews, and a clearer glimpse at the ever-shifting Oscar race.
To read our previous preview columns, punch "TIFF" into our search window. Today, Toronto's Closing Night film may come from a first-time director, but it's got star power to spare.
Last Night
The Plot: A married man (Sam Worthington) takes an overnight business trip with a female colleague (Eva Mendes), to whom he is attracted. Meanwhile, back at home, the executive's beautiful wife (Keira Knightley) encounters her own, former lover (Guillaume Canet).
The Director: Massy Tadjedin
The Cast: Keira Knightley, Eva Mendes, Sam Worthington, Guillaume Canet
The Scoop: Does Toronto intend to close its 35th annual film festival on a high note? That's a question only Tadjedin can answer, as TIFF tapped her directorial debut as its closing night gala screening. The film clearly is earning some high-powered fans, however, as it also was selected to open this year's Rome Film Festival on Oct. 5. Given the prestige of this cast, we're beginning to anticipate great things. But if "Last Night" doesn't grab us, at least everyone involved has something else at TIFF to support. Knightley will appear in "Never Let Me Go." Worthington has "The Debt" with Helen Mirren. And Canet will be at the fest promoting his own directorial effort "Little White Lies," a follow up to the taut, terrific "Tell No One."
Awards Potential: While not on any pre-festival Oscar lists, "Last Night" could generate some chatter with strong screenings in Toronto and Rome. Everyone in the cast could be a contender if the performances are good enough, while Tadjedin's script might net her a nomination if "Last Night" is something worth discussing.

After you've done all three plotlines listed in the previous subsection, do these to get to the end of the game. Note that you can do the first step or so without having done any of the "Mako Sochou" quest, but soon you'll be forced to go back and do the things you missed. So, to keep things as easy as possible to follow, you should just try to do things in the order listed. If nothing else, it's fun to have Harlequin give you a little clue, only to have you say, "Oh, yeah, I already took care of that. Where have you been?"
Since this is the end of the game, I suppose I should tell you that the type of stats and equipment it takes to get to this point is a far cry from the type of stats and equipment needed to beat the game. In other words, you may be able to make a killing selling data and you may be able to use that money to get otherwise mediocre characters to the end of the game, but money can't compensate for the surprisingly high levels you'll need to be able to stand in against the final boss. Unless you have over-leveled your characters along the way (i.e. spending way too much time building money and stats in in order to steamroll over the challenge at hand), you should expect to spend a lot of time with everything done, just working for more Karma and more money so you can have your characters armed to the teeth for the final fight.
Go to the Sinsearach and ask to see Frosty. (3)Edit
As is mentioned in the previous subsection, this will happen automatically if you've already done the Spirit Eyes quest when you complete the Sinsearach quest. If that's not the case, return to the Sinsearach whenever you're done with all three plotlines and ask to see the elders again. When you see Gillian, you'll ask her about Frosty again and she'll let the two of you meet.
Frosty will tell you a little bit about Thon, Renraku, and Michael before telling you about her master, Harlequin. Harlequin was the one behind Michael's last run and Frosty believes that you should meet with him. She'll tell you that he's at the Tarislar Garden Apartments in the Puyallup Barrens and that he is looking to defeat your archenemy, Thon.
Go to the Tarislar Garden Apartments. (2)Edit
After the meeting with Frosty, you'll be escorted back out of the Sinsearach. Get back to the highway one way or another and take a cab to Puyallup Barrens. Go to the Tarislar Garden Apartments and you'll meet Harlequin. He'll tell you a whole bunch of stuff that I'm not going to mention here because a.) it's very spoily and b.) you're going to be reading it, after all, so putting it here would be kind of redundant.
Harlequin tells you to seek out Vigore and Jarl, who have since split town.
Go to the Jump House and ask Gunderson about Vigore.Edit
Yep, that's pretty much it. Catch a ride to Redmond Barrens and ask Ol' Gunderson about the pair. You may have asked him that question before, but this time, he'll give you some new information about Vigore being holed up in the Rat's Nest.
Go to the Rat's Nest. (2)Edit
Walk down the street to the Rat's Nest. After what you've been through, you may expect some epic battle here, but no, you just get a screen telling you that voila, you found the map. Hmmmm, was there perhaps a little bit of a rush to get this game out the door? Oh well. The next step is to take the map back to Harlequin.
Go to the Tarislar Garden Apartments.Edit
Go back to the apartments and show the map to Harlequin. He'll say that the final plan is to go to the tomb where Thon must be and to defeat him once and for all. Harlequin tells you to go assemble your final party and report back to him when you are ready. This is just what you should do. Now is your last chance to prepare for the final battle of the game. Get your best three runners together and just run them like crazy to get the nuyen and Karma that you need. Here's a rough list of what you should have going into the final battle to ensure victory:
- Three runners.
- Each character with a set of Heavy Combat Armor. Hopefully, you haven't chosen to side with the Mafia. If you have, well, Light Combat Armor will have to do.
- Each character with an Allegiance Shotgun. Yes, that's right, an Allegiance Shotgun. Most of the advantages the Predator pistol has (able to be silenced, holds more ammo) are irrelevant at this point. You want all-out power.
- For magic users, the highest-level offensive spells they can use and the Level 4 Power Focus. Again, I hope you didn't align with the Mafia.
- Each character stuffed to the gills with Medkits. Perhaps the most important detail.
- All Attributes totally maxed out and boosted with cyberware. Well, maybe not Charisma or Strength, but definitely all the others.
- The following Skills as high as possible (shoot for the 9-12 range):
- Sorcery (for all magic users)
- Shotguns (or Pistols, if you prefer to use them)
- Biotech (for at least one character)
Note that if you have ALL of the things listed, the final battle will probably be a breeze. If you don't want to do a lot of leveling, just make sure that you have at least two runners, one of whom has a decent Biotech rating. Buy each an Allegiance Shotgun and a full supply of ammo and Medkits. Make sure each gets a suit of Light Combat Armor and good Attribute ratings, and send them in. Even with a relatively weak team, you can hold your own against Thon if you manage your Medkits wisely.
Once you feel you're ready for the final battle, all you have to do is give Harlequin the word.
Go to the Tarislar Garden Apartments and tell Harlequin you are ready.Edit
When you're ready to take on Thon, return to the Tarislar Garden Apartments. Harlequin will ask if you're sure you're ready. This is your last chance to back out. Tell him "Yes" and you'll be whisked into Ellisia's Tomb to do battle.
Go to the inner part of Ellisia's Tomb and defeat Thon.Edit
You'll start in the outer part of the tomb. Well-armed henchmen will be attacking from all over -- six in all. You MUST kill all six henchmen before the door will be opened to the inner part of the tomb. Once they're dead, do whatever healing you need to do and prepare for the real battle. When you're ready, walk all the way to the top of the area and go through the door.
Inside, you'll see Thon with two henchmen. Although it doesn't specifically say so, I'm pretty sure that these two are supposed to be Vigore and Jarl. Anyway, you'll see a cutscene showing Thon talking about how he's going to rule the world... same old stuff. After the Council starts channeling their powers into the tomb, Thon will be susceptible and the battle will begin.
I only have two points of advice for the final battle. First, get rid of Vigore and Jarl before attacking Thon. They're not that tough to kill and it'll be much easier when you only have one attacker instead of three. Second, while fighting, keep a very close eye on the health meters of your party. I know it sounds obvious, but seriously, watch those bars like a hawk. As soon as one dips down to 30 percent or so, pause and heal everyone. Don't wait until someone dies to heal them, and don't be afraid to draw out the battle by pausing and healing every few seconds.
Other than that, just hit 'em with your hardest stuff. Magic is good, but if there's a difference in damage between magic and the guns, it's probably due to the differences from character to character. Grenades work rather well, but the splash damage can be tricky and more importantly, they take up too much room in the inventory. You really can't go wrong with 16 or 18 Medkits, so don't sacrifice any inventory room for grenades or otherwise.
After you've done some considerable damage to Thon, Licourtrix will show up. yay! Remember him? He'll burst through the wall and attack Thon, then speak to you. At this point, you've effectively won, so sit back and enjoy the great ending. Well, not great. Not even good, in fact. The ending is really a letdown. Sorry. But the rest of the game was good, wasn't it?

Alton board to discuss filling superintendent spot
ALTON — The replacement of Alton School District Superintendent Kenneth Spells, who is poised to become the new superintendent of the South Bend Community School Corp. in Indiana, will be the topic of a special meeting by the Alton school board Thursday morning.
Spells, who has been superintendent since 2011, was recently picked to head the South Bend district after a nationwide search. While South Bend is significantly larger, the demographics of the two districts are very similar.
The Alton School Board meeting has been set for 8 a.m. Thursday, June 2. Most of the meeting will be conducted in executive session, and no action is expected.
"That's the big topic, actually the only topic," said Alton School Board president Ed Gray.
Because the new school year will be starting in a few weeks, Gray said they will probably appoint an interim superintendent who would serve for about a year.
"A change like this at this late date is always challenging," Gray said. "It's uncomfortable, but we'll get it taken care of and we'll start the school year."
Gray said he will miss Spells.
"I think he did very well while he was here at the Alton School District," Gray said. "We made a lot of advances in that time."
Several steps must still be taken before Spells can be formally hired by the South Bend district. On Tuesday, the South Bend school board held a 17-minute public hearing on Spells' contract. Indiana law requires the hearing.
The contract is expected to be formally ratified at a special meeting June 7. It will include a base salary of $190,000 and a total financial value of up to $244,707 per year. Subject to final approval by the board, Spells would begin July 1.

Celebrate National Radon Action Month by Having Your Fredericksburg Area Home Tested
Radon Action Month – Has Your Fredericksburg, Virginia Home Been Tested For Radon?
If you have not yet had your Fredericksburg area home tested for radon, now is the perfect time. The Environmental Protection Agency has declared that January is National Radon Action Month. That makes now the perfect time for Fredericksburg area homeowners to have their homes tested for this dangerous colorless and odorless radioactive gas.
The insidious thing about radon, and the thing that makes it so dangerous for Fredericksburg area residents, is the fact that it is so difficult to detect. You cannot see radon in your Fredericksburg area home, and you cannot taste it either. Detecting radon requires specialized equipment, and that is why it is so important for Fredericksburg area homeowners to have their properties tested.
Radon is Linked to Lung Cancer
Another thing that makes radon so dangerous for Fredericksburg area residents is the fact that this radioactive gas is thought to be responsible for some 15 percent of all deaths from lung cancer. In fact, radon is the number one culprit in lung cancer cases among non-smokers, and the number two cause for smokers. That means some 20,000 people die from radon exposure in the United States alone, with the death toll worldwide approaching 100,000, according to the World Health Organization.
If you have not yet had your Fredericksburg area home tested for radon contamination, you and your family are at risk of joining those grim statistics. The only way to know for sure is to have your Fredericksburg area home tested as soon as possible. National Radon Action Month gives you the perfect chance to have that testing done and protect yourself and your family.
Radon Action Month is the Best Time to Test Your Fredericksburg, Virginia Home for Radon
As National Radon Action Month gets underway, you may find yourself bombarded with offers to test your Fredericksburg area home, but you need to be careful when choosing a radon mitigation service. At SWAT, we are the largest radon gas mitigator in the country, with experience in the Fredericksburg area and beyond. Our national footprint means that we have access to more certified technicians than any other company, and we are ready to put that expertise to work for you and your family.
One of the most important things to consider when having your Fredericksburg area home tested for radon is to find a company that has specific experience in the Fredericksburg area. Radon might be a national problem, but it can be a local one as well. By dealing with a company that has expertise in the Fredericksburg area, you can be sure you are getting the service you need to deal effectively with your radon problem.
During the month of January, SWAT will be helping Fredericksburg area residents celebrate National Radon Action Month with special discounts and other offers. If you have been putting off having your Fredericksburg area home tested for radon because of the cost, now is the perfect time to get the peace of mind you and your family deserve. If high levels of radon are detected in your Fredericksburg area home, SWAT is ready to use its expertise to get rid of the threat once and for all. Don't put it off any longer – call SWAT today and let us help you protect your Fredericksburg area home and the health of your family.

Here are pictures I took of Kieran at 2 months:Here are the one month ones to compare, I can't believe how much bigger he is now: http://happytobecreating.blogspot.com/2009/06/one-month.html
At 2 Months, he:
- smiles A LOT! When he just wakes up from a nap he smiles the most. Aislynn loves playing peek-a-boo with him and she gets some smiles.
- He is starting to make this "laugh" noise when he smiles sometimes
- grabs things, particularly the elephant on him play mat that sounds like wind chimes:)
- holds his head up pretty good, and when he is on his tummy, he can hold it up for longer periods of time and tries to look around
- is awake a lot more now and sleeps pretty good at night...usually a 4-6 hour stretch, wakes up and goes back down after 15-20 minutes (last night his first stretch was a 7 hour stretch-woo hoo!)
- sucks on his hand a lot...he won't really take a pacifier for long, sometimes just to go to sleep and then he spits it out
- kicks his feet and pushes with his feet when they are up against something
I know I am probably forgetting things so I will add them as I think of them:)
Yesterday we were in Aislynn's room playing "Memory," but she calls it "Rememberory" ha ha. I snapped these, thinking I should change them to b&w to make the toys in the background less noticeable? Here is what Kieran was up to while we played...just hanging out...Then he got cranky, so I brought him on the bed with us and he passed right out:) Thinking this needs to be black and white too....

Native plants offer many ways to support a variety of butterflies and moths (lepidoptera) in your yard. The best approach is to include preferred host plants along with a selection of plants to provide nectaring sources throughout the season. Some butterflies and moths deposit their eggs on one kind of plant to the exclusion of others - as is the case with Monarch butterflies and milkweeds - but not all are strictly exclusive when it comes to which plant should host their eggs.
If you want to increase the biodiversity in your garden, remember that many butterflies and moths overwinter in leaves and spent plant material. Try to adopt a tolerant approach to "cleaning up" the garden, and avoid raking the ground clean around shrubs and in garden beds, as it may destroy the hibernation environment for the very life that you are trying to support.
The likelihood of seeing certain species of lepidoptera can be limited due to habitat requirements or range. On the other hand there are many butterflies and moths that range far and wide, and are easily supported, even in urban areas.

A Young Battalion Surgeon Comes of Age in War Torn Europe
Jim McKay was headed for combat as his troop ship left New York in November, 1944. The young battalion surgeon left his bride Liz behind for an ordeal that shaped his life. Jim would write his bride nearly every day for the next 20 months. His letters portray an ambitious young doctor struggling to treat the 500 men of his battalion, lead his medics, and keep himself sane while longing for the woman he left behind. Within a week of landing, Jim's battalion was thrown into the Battle of the Bulge. Through the next four months of combat and 16 months of occupation, Jim described the scene around him, his anger and frustration, his challenges and rewards, and his love for Liz. He emerged a top notch doctor with a world view that carried him through his long life, and experience that made him one of the most respected pediatricians in America.
Well educated and sophisticated, already fluent in German and French from time spent in those countries before the war, Jim's view of Europe was quickly shattered. After a week of combat his pre-war respect for German culture turned to revulsion and a conviction that Germany must be ground into the dust. After the war, he was assigned to establish a hospital in Germany. Through his letters we see him come to terms with the defeated Germans around him, including the German family he had lived with for four months in 1935, who were struggling to survive in their devastated homeland.
The author is Jim's son Tim, who spent many days with his father, reading aloud the big box of letters that form the basis for the book. Tim weaves excerpts from Jim's letters with the memories they provoked and fascinating background from research into his father's battalion, both at the National Archives and in Europe. This book is history seen through a pure lens, namely the letters written every day of the experience, unfiltered by the years of storytelling and postwar experience that affect most wartime memoirs. Letters to a War Bride is both an intimate portrait of a driven, honorable, and loving man, and a fascinating glimpse into those formative years of the Greatest Generation.

Finest Kind –Freight & Salvage Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014
It's like listening to pure gold.
Ian Robb, Shelley Posen, and Ann Downey of Ottawa's Finest Kind started singing together after accidentally sitting close together at a singing circle. The sound that their three voices produced naturally was so arresting they couldn't help but look at each other and wonder if they shouldn't explore working together.
That was decades ago. Besides being internationally acknowledged as the finest vocal blend in music, Finest Kind has established itself as the pinnacle of musical arrangers, demonstrating their "we vote on every note" methods at workshops and festivals all over the world.
And they are so funny. Their Freight and Salvage show on Sunday, Feb. 2, will be rocking with laughter and sing-alongs – get your tickets early.
They tell stories about the songs as only historians can, and they joke with an ease that comes of years together traveling and playing. The musicianship is breathtaking; Ian Robb on English concertina, Shelley Posen on guitar, and Ann Downey on bass and old-time banjo. But it's the vocal blend and the painstaking arrangements that often reduce an audience to tears of joy.
As local singer Arlene Immerman puts it, "Vocal music, particularly British isles and US traditional songs … brings me in tune with the universe. This is my version of spirituality. And being able to sing with others in a room full of harmony enhances the experience. Finest Kind presents this kind of music in a way that makes me even more rapturous than that. They take the best music and raise it to an even higher plane."
Vocal arrangers often fall for overkill – witness any a cappella contest's excessive willingness to overlook true sync, true blend, for novelty. But Finest Kind puts the song first, always. Unafraid of stops, unafraid of unison, unafraid of seconds, or "jangles" as they put it, a word they coined to describe the more uncommon of harmonies. With Finest Kind, the song always come first, seeming to sing itself, and its context never leaves the room.
Start this year singing. Start this year with the community of people who know Finest Kind as the foremost purveyors of song. Consider song, if you never have before, as the cohesion that, over centuries, has helped communities worldwide to create true connection.
"...Finest Kind's set on the Saturday night was a flawless piece of work, an extraordinary melding of history and song. Three of the finest voices in Canada singing about our past and filling the dark and still air with soaring, glorious harmonies. In a set of splendid songs, Shelley Posen's "No More Fish, No Fishermen" was, for me, the standout. I have a recording of the song but to hear it sung from that stage, to that crowd, was to understand the passion behind the piece. A very remarkable band... David Francey, at the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival 2002
Don't say you weren't warned. When the Super Bowl is over on Sunday, February 2, stroll down to Addison Street's Freight and Salvage and check to see if there were any cancellations from what is sure to be a sold-out show. The next day there will be a few hundred people in town smiling from ear to ear at the good fortune of having heard a sound that will probably never be matched in hundreds of years. Be one of them.

Thinking about improving your pre-CGT buildings or land?
On 25 January 2017, the ATO released Taxation Determination 2017/1 regarding the taxation treatment of intangible capital improvements that are affixed or made to pre-CGT assets. The ATO has provided an example of the type of taxpayer that this determination is targeting:
A farmer, holding pre-CGT land, obtains council approval to rezone and subdivide land. Those improvements may be considered separate CGT assets from the land.
While the pre-CGT status of the original asset would be retained (and there would be no capital gains tax on its disposal), it is clear that the ATO believes that buildings, structures and other capital improvements made to pre-CGT land (including permits to develop the asset) may be regarded as a separate asset for tax purposes. In such cases, if the actions taken to create the separate asset were completed after 20 September 1985, there may be tax applicable when the asset is sold.
When could you be caught?
The devil is always in the detail, with the taxation determination specifying that capital improvements are deemed to be a separate CGT asset only if all the following conditions are met:
- The improvement is to a pre-CGT asset
- The improvement cost base is more than the improvement threshold for the income year in which the CGT event happened to the original asset (refer to threshold limit below)
- The improvement cost base is more than 5% of the capital proceeds from the event
A practical example of how the determination could apply
During the 2014/15 financial year, you spent $160,000 in consulting fees to assist with obtaining a permit to subdivide land originally purchased before 20 September 1985. You then sell the land, and the capital proceeds from the sale are $2 million.
Original asset pre-CGT? Yes
Above improvement threshold? Yes
More than 5% of capital proceeds? Yes
Separate CGT asset? Yes
What are the tax consequences of a separate CGT asset?
Under the above example, the value of obtaining a planning permit to subdivide the land will be treated as a separate CGT asset.
As such, the $2 million total proceeds will need to be dissected between the value attributed to the land itself, and the value that the planning permit added to the land.
While the value of the land itself would not attract any capital gains tax, the value added by the planning permit would be taxed as a separate post-CGT asset (that is, if the planning permit added $1 million of value to the asset, this $1 million would attract capital gains tax).
It should be noted that a 50% CGT discount may be available on the taxable gain, depending on the type of taxpayer and whether it had been 12 months between the time the consulting expenditure was incurred and the time the asset was sold.
What should I do?
If you are considering selling a pre-CGT asset, please contact your Fordham Partner for further information regarding the impact of the new determination on the sale.

Nokia Lumia 1520 might be announced on October 22. Verizon version allegedly pictured
Those who are expecting Nokia to officially announce the Lumia 1520 this month might be disappointed.
According to some sources that spoke to EVleaks, the new Lumia could be unveiled only in the second half of next month – on October 22. This is in line with what we heard a few days ago, when a report had it that the device would be available at AT&T starting November.
Of course, since we don't have any official details at the moment, anything can happen in the end.
Announcement date aside, it looks like the Lumia 1520 isn't headed just to AT&T in the US, but also to Verizon.
A photo that allegedly presents a Verizon-branded Lumia 1520 has appeared in China, showing the device's white rear side. Alongside Verizon's logo, a 20MP PureView camera with dual LED flash can be seen on the back.
(image via Weibo, NewCellPhones)
The Lumia 1520 (codenamed Bandit) will be Nokia's first phablet, as well as the first Windows Phone device with such large dimensions. It will run Windows Phone 8 GDR3, reportedly featuring a 6 inch Full HD display, quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 32GB of internal memory, MicroSD card support, and a 3,400 mAh battery.
Both AT&T and Verizon are also supposedly getting ready to launch Nokia's first Windows RT tablet, aka Sirius. We'll let you know how things are going as soon as new and meaningful details are unveiled.

You've probably heard of (or maybe even taken part in) community-supported agriculture—for a fixed price, CSA participants receive a weekly or monthly "farm share" containing a variety of fresh produce, all while helping to encourage and sustain local farming. But did you know that the same system has been extended to art? Rather than going out to buy a cheap print of a Van Gogh or Monet, buying into contemporary art shares will provide a bag full of artwork fresh out of local studios, supporting the artists and encouraging knowledge of contemporary art. The program started in Minnesota and variations on this new wave of local buying are popping up in cities across the country. Learn more from the New York Times.

What it does is to create the sugars you consume become energy rather than being stored as fat. It has got an essential function in proper nutrient absorption and usage.
Caffeine — like capsicum, it enhances thermogenesis, but also serves as a stimulant, providing you with more energy, like each java consumer understands. This makes you more awake and keeps you focused, albeit for a limited time only. Caffeine is not uncommon to numerous slimming tablets and energy beverages. Aside from the effects, it is going to reduce your appetite and cause you to feel full for longer. In this manner, caffeine restricts your daily calories.
Calcium Carbonate — that has a part in keeping a healthy weight and balancing the muscle and fat ratio. Having the adequate intake of calcium, it's simpler to control the weight and slim down, the trials demonstrated. It functions at a cellular level and in addition, it reinforces the bones.
L-Carnitine Fumarate — enhances the fat burning process, moves fat into the blood stream so that it may be utilized for energy. Therefore, we have still another compound which makes you more lively. It's not a synthetical chemical, but one found in nature, in a variety of foods, from nuts to veggies.
Α-Lacys Reset® — a patented component, it oxidates and reduces cells. You may just find it in this item.
It's simple to see that the investigators supporting PhenQ gave this formula lots of their time and set their knowledge into creating this powerful mixture. It's not only a mix of unique ingredients.

text: By ANDREW WALDMANT-G Staff WriterNANKIN -- Mapleton Local Schools residents are completing community surveys that will be used by the board of education in a long-term planning process. Mapleton Board Advisory Committee, a group of district residents from various professions and walks of life that serves as a link between the board and community, produced the survey. The survey is modeled after one used by Ashland City Schools Strategic Planning Core Committee. It is designed to collect information on demographics, district goals and future plans, as well as academic offerings. Like the Ashland survey, it asks participants to grade the district. "We hope to get a lot back and summarize those and get a good feeling on what the community feels about the school district," said committee leader John Noss. "We will tabulate all the data, get a results sheet (and) make it available so that the residents of the district can see that and know what the results show."According to board and committee member, Dennis Girton, the results also will be used in a strategic plan that will be put together by the board. "Once we get the survey (results), that will kind of help us see how the community is thinking as far as the future goes," said Girton. Girton encourages all members of the community -- those who agree and disagree -- to return the survey. "Some of those questions on that survey will give people adequate amounts to say their displeasure as well," said Girton. "That's what we want. If we can pick up on some things that are consistently wrong, that will help us correct them."About 75 surveys have been returned to the district, Girton said.The committee started collecting surveys in mid-July and will stop collection Aug. 17."We want this, so it's going to be a very viable tool for us," said Girton. "It will lead to something that's very beneficial to the district."n Contact Andrew Waldman at 419-281-0581, ext. 243, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Biggest Loser's ninth week kicks off with Alison telling the contestants they will be competing in a pentathlon! Not only that, but the competition is going to singles! And the yellow line has returned! The person who has the most points at the end of the pentathlon will secure immunity at the weigh-in, but the person who comes in last gets a 1lb disadvantage.
Event 1 - Popularity Contest
Contestants have just one minute to rank the other players in order of popularity. Everybody has different ideas on how to do it - Ramon and Antone put the biggest competition at the bottom, Bonnie puts the teachers at the top, John goes according to weight loss, Sunny ranks in alphabetical order etc. We'll find out the results later.
Event 2 - Pegs
Each contestant has three pegs. They have to run across the court, grab a coloured peg cover with their name on it, and cover one of the contestants' pegs with their cover. The winner is the person who is the last to get all three pegs covered. In the end it's Sunny who is the last person standing.
Next up for John is a pretty serious workout at the gym with Dolvett, although he doesn't like Dolvett's tactic of dropping a medicine ball on his stomach while he works on the weights. Dolvett tells John he has to trust him to get the results and John agrees.
Event 3 - Trivia Questions
Alison asks the players seven trivia questions about nutrition, such as which food group provides the most energy, which cheese has the least calories, and how many calories you have to cut from your daily intake to lose 1lb per week (answer was 500).
The standings after rounds two and three have Antone at the top with 11 points, followed by Becky (9), Sunny, (8), Bonnie (7), Vinny (7), John (4) and Ramon (4).
Dolvett takes John to one side later that day to talk about his life. Dolvett shows him a scrapbook of his family memories and recounts being separated from his family as a child and then fostered and adopted. He tells John he understands what it's like to not trust those around you but says he has "fight" and no-one can take that away from him.
Dolvett says: "When I dig deep for you in that gym I dig from a personal place... I know what it's like to doubt yourself and not believe but you gotta fight."
Event 4 - Pool
Contestants have to pull themselves across the pool on a float by using a series of ropes suspended above the water. Sunny is the quickest, followed by John, Vinny, Antone, Becky, Ramon and Bonnie.
Next up is the Last Chance Workout with Anna, Bob and Dolvett, and everyone is working really hard. Sunny and Antone are tied for first place at this point but Sunny says she can't rely on that to ensure she stays above the yellow line. Dolvett is pushing Bonnie "harder than she has ever been pushed" before, while Bob tells Becky that she has gained a swagger since starting at the ranch, and Antone is aiming to pass the 100lbs weight loss mark this week.
John later tells Dolvett that being open about his life isn't easy for him but he wants to try. He shows Dolvett a scrapbook of memories from his life and talks about his father's passing and his own future.
Event 5 - Apolo Anton Ohno visits
Eight-time Olympic medalist Apolo Anton Ohno visits the ranch after the Last Chance Workout bearing Subway sandwiches. Over dinner, he tells them his nickname as a child was 'Chunky' but then he found sport and it changed his life.
The fifth event of the pentathlon is running a mile, and Apolo runs alongside the contestants to provide support and encouragement. Ramon wins first place, followed by John, Sunny, Becky, Antone, Vinny and Bonnie.
The Weigh In
Alison opens the weigh-in by revealing the overall results of the pentathlon. Antone is in first place and gets immunity. Bonnie is in last place.
Antone: 348lbs to 339lbs. Loss: -9lbs (passed the 100lbs loss)
Bonnie: 213lbs to 208lbs. Loss: -5lbs
John: 319lbs to 310lbs. Loss: -9lbs
Vinny: 345lbs to 335lbs. Loss: 10lbs
Sunny: 216lbs to 207lbs. Loss: -9lbs
Becky: 186lbs to 182lbs. Loss: -4lbs
Ramon: 280lbs to 273lbs. Loss: -7lbs
Becky and Bonnie fall below the yellow line and face elimination. Bonnie tells everyone that she has enjoyed the experience and accomplished her goals but that she is ready to leave and wants Becky to continue. Everyone follows her wishes.
In a post elimination video we learn that Bonnie has lost 68lbs and "feels like [she] is 40 again". She tells us that it's never too late to get healthy and she's been using the Biggest Loser Club to aid her journey at home. "When they told me on the ranch 63 was just a number, now I know what they mean."

Try to mix the two thats what I did with my son when I just couldn't produce enough milk. Then just put less breast milk as you go but you should start now so she will be used to it by the time you go!
My husband and I are taking a trip in a few weeks and leaving the baby with her grandparents. She is breastfed, and has taken a bottle of breastmilk (even from me) without issue. I have been trying to pump and freeze, but at most I can get maybe 4 - 5 ounces each day no way will it be enough for all her feedings while we are away - the baby will have to have formula while we are gone. I received some formula samples from the pediatrician and we tried one of them last night (two separate times) and she refused and fussed. I can't really blame her - it doesn't smell so good. This morning we tried again (different formula) and the same thing happened so I gave her the breast. I have a few more formula samples to try, but I'm also looking for advice from others who may have had to deal with this as well. She doesn't need to be completely weaned - I intend to pump while away to keep up the milk supply - but I need to know she'll eat while I'm gone (without giving the grandparents too much grief!) Thanks!
In hindsight it was ridiculous to expect that she would take straight formula - even a 50/50 mix was too much. So we did a 90/10 for a few bottles and we will slowly work our way to a mix that has more formula than milk. Pumping has been going well and I feel better about the whole situation, just needed some reassurance!
The original plan was to bring her with us, but the sitter was unable to follow through due to health and job changes. The grandparents are thrilled to have the time with their granddaughter
Try to mix the two thats what I did with my son when I just couldn't produce enough milk. Then just put less breast milk as you go but you should start now so she will be used to it by the time you go!
Have you considered bringing the baby with you? Life is truly short - many moms (and dads) think they will be fine but end up missing babv so much it takes away from the trip.
Or have you considered banked human milk?
~L. Anne
Have you tried Carnation Goodstart? I had to do the same thing while I was breastfeeding to supplement with formula while I was traveling. The pediatrician recommended it and said it is the closest to breast milk because all the others have allot of iron causeing the smell and taste bad, also doesn't cause constipation because of the iron. I also put one ounce less of breast milk with the formula to lessen the taste. Also remember that with just giving one ounce with the breast milk her feedings will be less often.
It was the best advise the pediatrician gave me, so I started the week before to leave. Good luck...
she'll be hungry and she'll eat. :) for our daughter, we mixed the breast milk and formula. Half and half. I also used Earth's Best Organic formula. She tried others, but seemed to do well with that. Hope that helps!
I am sure you will get the same response from other moms....the baby may be more likely to take the formula from someone that she doesn't associated the breast with. She might fuss a few times, but hunger will eventually win out. Good luck
B.- I'm a mother who nursed all 5 of my children until they swere almost 2 yrs. old. One of mychildren (the 1st born)never took a botle.) Then I learned-like others have already said-you have to keep on trying!! If hungry enough-Babys'do EAT!!!!!! From you-she'll probably NEVER take any formula-but from others-she'll eventually do it. I'm also a greater than 20 year veteran RN-I deal with pediatric issues every day. TRUST ME-SHE WILL COME AROUND!! K. W.
As many have already mentioned, try mixing the breast milk with the formula. Start with small amounts, such as 1 ounce of each so you don't waste the breast milk in case your son doesn't take the bottle. I always hated when some of my pumped milk went to waste! Also, don't give up. Keep trying as there little bodies take time to adjust. I remember my pediatrician telling me it could take up to two weeks for their bodies to adjust to the formula. So once you get the formula in him, if he seems extra gassy or fussy, don't switch formula's too quickly because then his body will never get used to anything. I was always a Similac fan, but both my boys wound up on Similac Alimentum because of dairy issues. I know a few friends who really like the carnation good start as well. Good luck!
Hi B.,
Try mixing the formula with the breast milk. They do say breastmilk is sweeter than regular milk or formula. Also is it liquid or powder, that you are using. I have found that the powder is prefered than the liquid. hope this helps and good luck.
I haven't had to do this personally, but maybe you could feed your daughter pumped milk in a bottle with a little bit of formula mixed in. Then gradually change the ratio so she's drinking mainly formula. Make sure you mix the formula with the correct amount of water first though - if you just add the powder to your breastmilk, it will be too much strain on her little kidneys. Good luck!
I found that when I had to supplement my kids with formula that they liked the carnation good start. It was the most like breast milk and easy for them to digest. Before your trip you can check with Children's hospital or the local LaLeche(SP) group and see if you can get some donated breast milk to supplement with. When I had my 5th baby and had to quit nursing I donated my breast milk to the hospital.IT's something to check into. Good luck!
Just keep trying! The biggest mistake parents make is giving up on thing TOO soon....I've seen it with people trying to breastfeed, trying to bottle feed, trying to spoon feed, even with potty training. Be consistent and don't relent! Even if your baby misses a feeding or 2 (she won't starve to death) she will eventually be hungry enough and take the bottle. You are in charge of her, not vice versa. You can make it work, if you don't give in!!! good luck, it's not easy, but it will be worth it for this and other trials that will come your way as you "train up" your child!
Hi There,
I have an 8 week old and he will also take a bottle of breast milk without issue, but he hates formula (he took a few ounces from his daddy the other day, but only because he was starving). What has worked for him is mixing formula and breast milk (ie. 2 oz. of breastmilk and 2 oz. of formula). This also worked for our older child when she was an infant. I never get a large volume of milk when pumping, so this is what we did so they would still be getting breast milk, but it would go further.
Good Luck!!
Hi B.,
Since drinking from a bottle is not the issue, try mixing formula with your breast milk. It's makes your milk go further in addition to getting your daughter used to formula. For a 4 oz. bottle, start with 3 oz. of breastmilk to 1 oz. of formula and gradually increase. She won't notice the difference!
Breast feeding is supply and demand so either you are not pumping enough or breast feeding enough, You didnt say how old the baby was. It seems that you might be best to take her with you. Get in touch with La Leche league.
How long are you going away for? Is this the only reason you are putting her on formula? Seems a bit early to me, but that's just my opinion.
My son acted the same way when I first started to have to feed him formula. One thing that may help is to mix some of the formula with the breast milk - - half formula and half breastmilk. That may help with the fussing. I would also stick with one brand instead of using a bunch of different samples. My son liked the enfamil the best, but the carnation great start was not to bad either. He did not like the liquid ones in a can at all.
try mixing what breastmilk you have with the formula to make the taste similar to what your baby is used to. Try an extra pumping while you are nursing your baby in the morning to get a little extra milk for now.
Try substituting an ounce of formula in the bottle of breastmilk. This is what I did with my twins when it became too demanding to keep up with them. So if you are giving your daughter a 4 ounce bottle for example put one ounce formula and three ounces breastmilk. Gradually increase if you think necessary. Hope this helps.
I've read some home-made formula recipes in a cookbook called "Nourishing Traditions" that are supposed to be very close to breastmilk in taste & formulation. My sister used these recipes to supplement when she re-lactated to breastfeed her adopted daughter and didn't get enough milk supply. Her baby thrived! The ingredients might sound strange, but are all readily available in "make your own formula" kits, just add your own milk.
I also found similar Weston Price formula recipes here: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/1...
I hope you are able to pump as much milk as you will need during your trip.
Have you tried pumping for just a few ounces before/during (i.e. pump at opposite breast) nursing your daughter? You might be amazed that just a few ounces at a time really can add up.
Also, since she's four months old, she's just old enough to start supplementing with a little rice cereal or something. If you start now, then she won't need only milk while you're away.
About me: I'm a mom of four: and, by God's grace, I have successfully breastfed each of them!
Hi B.,
We found ourselves in the same exact situation not too long ago. We ended up giving making bottles which were 2 parts breast milk to 1 part formula to start and my son took them. Then we tried 1/2 and 1/2 and that worked and then finally tried a 100% formula bottle. It took about a week to get him to take the 100% formula. We also left as much breast milk as we could and told our son's grandparents to use it at their discretion for those really fussy moments. He ate just fine while we were away.
Dear B.,
We added the formula slowly to a bottle of breastmilk for 1 feeding a day to get the baby used to the taste. Compared to breastmilk, which is quite sweet, formula is nasty. Start with 1/5 formula to 4/5 breastmilk, and increase to 1/2 and 1/2, etc. Depending on how much you are able to stockpile, you may be able to keep her at a mix of 1/2 and 1/2 for the duration of your trip. You'll have better results if someone else gives her these bottles (have your husband/mom/friend do it); if you try, she will be able to smell you, and will know your breastmilk is nearby and will likely refuse until you just give in. Go for a walk so she can't hear you, but take your cell phone so you can provide support if needed. Persistence is key. When she gets hungry enough, she'll take it. I know it sounds cruel to force tough love on your 4 month old, but it'll provide you with peace of mind while you're away. Good luck.
Try Similac Organic formula, I found it the most comparable to the breast. Also, you may want to try to put a little breast milk in the formula so your baby has the familiar taste.
I had to do the same thing and now my Daughter loves the formula. We actually tried Similac ORGANIC formula. This seemed to be the least offensive in smell and taste, had a sweet smell and taste, and is not full of the junk that the other formulas have (high fructose corn syrup etc!!!) I mixed half formula with half breastmilk and she took to it no problem. Your daughter is a little younger than mine, so it may be a little harder. At 7.5 months she is not as into the breast as she was when she was at 4 months.
Hope this helps!!
Have some one else feed her while you are out of the room or even better out of the house during feeding times. she will not want to have formula sensing that you are near.she can almost "smell" your presence. after a few times she will get used to it.good luck. you didnt say how long you will be gone but you should be able to pump enough if not you can always try Mixing breast milk with formula like 75% to 25% . Enjoy your trip!!
Try introducing it slowly, with a mix of breastmilk and formula. And try other brands.
Goat's milk formula is harder to find (but can be ordered) and there is controversy around it now, however it is a bit sweeter and simpler than the other formulas. Perhaps she would like it better and it would help keep her nourished while you were away. She could go back to breast when you return.
There are also recipes for making your own formula. Google Weston Price and baby formula. He's a bit extreme but once you read it a few times it seems a little more possible. Some good thoughts at least.
Mostly, I'd say, nurse and pump like crazy!!! Maybe do some herbal support to increase your supply? Sounds weird, but what what about finding a friend with a babe who could nurse yours in a pinch?
First, while your pump squeeze your breast in rhythem with the pump. Grab your breast close to your body and squeeze and slide your hand towards your nipple at the same time. This is a great way to get more milk out. Yes it's like milking yourself, but it works. Pumps just aren't as effient as a baby. And try to drink a non-alcoholic beer everyday while away. I always forget which one it is (the hops or the barley), but which ever it will help keep your milk supply up (Yes it's safe it was recommended to my by my midwife). Second, if possible only give her a bottle that is a 50/50 mix. 50% Breast milk and 50% formula. Third, if that's not possible, start introducing the formula slowly. Do a 100% breast milk bottle a couple days. The 4 oz breast milk 2 oz formula for a few days. Then 2 oz breast milk 4 oz formula. Then total formula. If you do it slowly she'll get use to the taste, not that you want her too, but what other options do you have.
Is it possible to postpone your trip until she's a little older? She seems too young to be away from you right now. Have you considered bringing a sitter with you so that you can still breastfeed?
Hi B., I am currently nursing my third son and nursed my two older ones. My first two are only 17 months apart and my milk started to dry up when was I got pregnant. In order to take my son the full year of nursing I used to mix his bottles (at the time I worked 3 days per week) with 1/2 breast milk and 1/2 formula. Because he too did not like formula, the addition of the breast milk made it easier for him to take and digest. Try that, this way your baby will still get the benefit of your milk and hopefully take the bottles for his grandparents with no hassles. Good luck!
Try renting a hospital grade pump. I used to pump really early in the morning before my daughter would wake up, when I was really very full with milk. When my daughter would wake up and nurse there was more milk for her.
Worst case scenario, they say a baby will eat when they are hungry. So even if she does not like the taste now, she will adjust when you are not there.
Good luck and relax a little (that will help you get more while pumping too.)
What worked for me was to feed my daughter cereal mixed with breast milk to prepare her for my short trip. My sister fed her this easily and she did drink also.
This way even if she did not drink the bottles as well as I would have liked she received what she needed and returned to breast feeding when I came home
My son refused formula for a while too. He would make a horrible face and try to push the bottle nipple out of his mouth every time I tried to give it to him. I thought it was the nipple he didn't like, so I kept trying different ones. Then, I finally switched formulas. I switched to Similac Advance and he doesn't seem to mind having a bottle now. He prefers being nursed, but it is useful to be able to give him a bottle sometimes. All the formulas taste different. My daughter also prefered Similac formulas over any other kind we tried.
The truth is - and I can say this after three children, the youngest being 9 weeks, that when they get hungry enough - they will eat. Plain & simple. You need not cater to their taste buds - formula pretty much all tastes the same. Try not to stress about it.
wow...I don't know if it'll work. I've tried and tried to get my 4 month old to take formula so that I can enjoy a night out or have a drink, he refuses over and over again. We had to go to a funeral out of town and I had some pumped milk and some formula. Instead of taking the formula when the breast milk was gone he screamed for 6 hours. Maybe try mixing the formula into some breast milk, and if that doesn't work consider taking baby along.
while you nurse on one breast, pump the other...baby is doing the work of getting your milk up and you'll get more! I would also mix a little bit of formula in the bottle for the first few times...1oz formula to 3 oz of breatmilk...start with small amounts so if she doesn't take it you don't get frustrated because you wasted an 8oz bottle...it takes time but she will get it...I always had more luck with the powder formula...you can make it a little lighter while you start, it's not so overwhelming and if you are mixing with breastmilk she'll still be getting enough nutrients.
Hello- I nurse my daughter and was hesitant to start her on anything but breastmilk till 5 months. Some folks begin a little table food at 4 months. In that case, why mess around with formula at all? Doctors usually recommend rice cereal as a first table food. Maybe if you try some rice cereal, you can avoid formula and move her slightly on her way to table food. Like you said, it is really just to fill in the gaps where you don't have enough pumped milk. Good luck :)
Did you try trying one ounce of formula in a breast milk bottle first? Then slowly increase...

The Energy Innovation Laboratory at the Energy Department's Idaho National Laboratory was dedicated earlier this week. The new facility enables researchers to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in advanced clean energy and related environmental science. | Photo courtesy of Idaho National Laboratory
The Energy Department aims to ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing the nation's most urgent energy and environmental challenges through an all-of-the-above strategy advancing transformative science and innovative technology solutions.
The new Energy Innovation Laboratory, which we visited together earlier this week at the Energy Department's Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in Idaho Falls, provides a flexible, customizable space for the energy research critical to this strategy and focuses on making high-impact clean energy breakthroughs that could boost American competitiveness and reduce carbon emissions. The new lab enables INL researchers to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in advanced clean energy and related environmental science, and consolidates some of INL's fundamental nuclear research and development activities.
Through the facility, the Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Office of Nuclear Energy are working side-by-side to solve shared challenges in areas such as systems integration, energy productivity, and grid optimization. For instance, the facility hosts Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy-funded critical materials and batteries research by utilizing core capabilities grown out of the Office of Nuclear Energy's research on separations science, materials and chemical process technology. This partnership will unlock efficiencies and enable broader shared impacts from taxpayer investment.
Here are five key facts about the new Energy Innovation Laboratory:
1. The facility includes 148,000 square feet of reconfigurable laboratory research space, plus a meeting space where visitors and the public can attend seminars and educational events. We expect the lab's customers and collaborators, elected and government officials, university leaders, foreign dignitaries, and corporate officials to use the meeting center.
2. Current INL researchers are moving from older facilities to the new, upgraded lab spaces to take advantage of state-of-the-art tools, equipment and resources. The Energy Innovation Laboratory will also include education and training opportunities to meet the needs of America's highly skilled clean energy workforce.
3. This flagship science facility improves INL's capability for fostering university-industry-national laboratory partnerships, and features laboratory space that supports the Energy Department's Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility for collaborative nuclear energy research. The new facility is located near INL's Center for Advanced Energy Studies and the Energy Systems Laboratory, connecting all key research areas on one campus.
4. The Energy Innovation Laboratory is the first INL building to achieve LEED Platinum (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for its sustainable design features. INL expects it to have significantly lower energy costs compared with other modern laboratory facilities.
5. The facility includes 127 laboratory modules for chemistry and engineering research. Laboratories support chemical sciences, nanotechnology, water chemistry, advanced microscopy, control systems, high-temperature testing, thermal hydraulics, materials testing and characterization, separations technology, and advanced instrument training.
