Special Needs Parents and PTSD Survey Results
This post is the first in a series, based on the survey results, about special needs parents and PTSD. In future posts, you’ll hear from some of the people who participated in the survey–with their permission, of course. But for today, the series examines the results of the study.
Do you think you have PTSD that was caused by your child’s special needs? All 49 participants answered this question. 90% said yes. 10% said no.
Have you been diagnosed by a mental health professional or doctor with PTSD? Again, all participants answered this question. 30% answered yes, they have been diagnosed with PTSD by a mental health care professional. 70% said no.
Have you received professional treatment for PTSD? Of the 47 people who answered this question, 30% said they have received professional treatment for PTSD, but 70% said they have not.
Did professional treatment help you cope with your traumatic memories? 36 people answered this question, even though only 14 said they have received professional treatment. 30% (16 people) said treatment helped them cope. 70% (20 people) said it did not. Hopefully, we can presume those who actually received treatment were the ones who responded positively.
When did your initial traumatic experience occur?
Here are the comments parents left in the box:
- Post adoption
- During hospitalization
- Right after she was born with her first diagnosis of cancer at 6 weeks of age.
- At birth
- At birth with first TEF baby and in NICU with second TEF baby
- Yes during birth
- Before birth
- After birth
- Began when we adopted her from Russia.
- Premature birth, NICU
- After diagnosis of stroke when she was 8 months of age
- About a year after my first son was born. The first year is all about survival. When the dust starts to settle everything hit me like a brick. I managed to find a balance again. We found out we were pregnant with our second little boy. 24 weeks into pregnancy I found out he two would have the same disorder as his brother. Moments later the brick hit me again. It’s been over a year since the diagnoses and he is 8.5 months old. I’m still struggling.
- At birth and in the NICU for 6 weeks. (preemie, born 10 weeks early)
- I am raising my grandson, who is my son’s son, but due to circumstances at that time, he was not around. I was stunned that the mother wanted to give him up, so that was my first moment of panic. Then slowly realizing something was “not right” and thinking perhaps it was a connection/bond he was missing with his mother, I finally took him to the doctor where I left completely stunned by the diagnosis. Our lives took a sudden huge turn. I have learned a lot about PTSD. I know I probably need to take time and deal with my own, but I’m so involved in the caregiving process on so many levels.
- Before birth
- At birth, his first year spent mostly in hospital, his about 30 surgeries, for about the 4 years he stopped breathing about 6 times a day, the 2 times he almost died of kidney failure. Then my daughter started having supraventricular tachycardia episodes and mental health issues.
- When my son was admitted to the hospital at 5 days old
- With in the first month of my son’s birth
- diagnoses before birth
- When my child was 5 weeks old
- At birth and many subsequent scary near losses
- Diagnosis and afterwards
- Birth, NICU, fighting for him during his first two years, heart surgery, and then bleeding
- I’m not sure if I can pinpoint the first experience. It could be the emergency C-section required at birth, the multiple ear infections as a baby, the increasing symptoms of autism in the first 2 years, the diagnosis at 27 months, or when it all finally hit me 3 years after diagnosis. I’m not positive I HAVE PTSD, but I do have major anxiety and clinical depression.
- In NICU
- At about age 2 when his behavior and CP were first diagnosed
- at diagnosis
- At diagnosis (newborn) and multiple times throughout growing years
- About three years after he was born, after the the calm after the storm
- At diagnosis
- Both at the time of my sons near drowning accident and once again last year when he stop breathing and had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance
- During his traumatic birth
- At diagnosis
- I believe the sudden death of my first husband had barely shown signs of what it did to me, then after remarrying our 16 month old was diagnosed with a brain tumor, after 18 visits to emerge starting at 16 weeks we begged for an MRI
- During NICU but didn’t get help until probably a year later
- When we met him in China (adoption)
- NICU after his adoption
- Before birth of my first child. Reactivated immediately after birth of my second (HIE) once she was taken away
- I would guess at birth, but maybe just along the way, sooo many things!
- Around diagnosis, at his first seizure
- Before child’s birth and then continued at her birth, NICU admission, heart failure, and chronic medical problems that ensued. It peaked when medical professionals accused us of making our child ill and reported us to state child protective services. Thankfully, their claims were quickly thrown out as invalid, but it amplified the PTSD.
- Before birth, NICU and subsequent surgeries and diagnosis
- At birth
What is your child’s special needs diagnosis? The diagnosis ran the gamut from conditions caused by birth trauma, congenital abnormalities that required medical treatment or surgery at birth and a NICU stay, autism, epilepsy, developmental delays, RAD, and mental illness.
Are you interested in contributing a blog post to DifferentDream.com’s upcoming series about special needs parents and PTSD? Of the 47 people who answered this question, 25 said yes. If you’re one of those people, thank you for your willingness to share your story. And watch your inbox for an email very soon about what to do next.
Did the Survey Results Surprise You?
Here’s what surprised me about these results….the number of parents dealing with PTSD for a long period of time without treatment or support. This makes me very sad because treatment is available and effective. So in addition to the stories survey participants will be contributing to this series, considerable time will be devoted to effective treatments and how to locate them.
So, did the survey results blow you away? Leave a comment about your reaction in the box below. Thanks!

Unlike adults, children respond very well to treatment, thus increasing their chances of getting cured
Close to 90 per cent of the cancers among children are curable, which makes it very important for parents to watch out for symptoms and approach a doctor at the right time, cancer specialists on Wednesday said.
The doctors maintained that unlike adults, children can tolerate and respond very well to cancer treatment, thus increasing their chances of getting cured and eventually leading a quality life.
“We were shocked when we realised that my four-year-old son Rayan had leukaemia. After the initial shock, we started exploring for treatment and met doctors. Now, after undergoing treatment, my son is absolutely normal and leads a quality life like any other child of his age and he has started going to school. My advice to parents is to be quick in spotting symptoms and take children to the experts,” said Jayad Ritchie, father of the four-year-old.
Nearly 150 such young children who have survived cancer were part of the ‘Child Cancer Survivors-The Real Stars’ programme, organised by Apollo Hospitals on the eve of Children’s Day. The children, who participated in painting competitions and dance performance, also got an opportunity to interact with tennis ace Sania Mirza.
“The general symptoms among children for leukaemia, tumours and bran cancers are prolonged illness, anaemia, bleeding, swelling, pain, headaches, vomiting, lack of appetite and a general lack of interest. Parents have to watch out for signs like disinterest in playing, eating and lethargy,” said senior oncologist, Apollo Hospitals, Dr. S.V.S.S. Prasad.

This is my second category for my most played albums of the year. I call this category “The Kids Are Alright” To set the record straight I define kids as being anywhere from 15 to 35. And maybe there might be a few on this list who may be outside of those parameters , I’m not going to do research on this, it’s just rock ‘n’ roll and it’s all about fun. Instead of going on about each album or artist , I’ll put up one song on this playlist from each for you to listen to. This category is important to me , because these are the kids that are taking rock n roll to the future , they are the driving force for a new generation and whenever I come across kids who like any of these bands my faith in the youth of America is restored just a little bit more. 2016 has been a truly fantastic year for new music, I can not possibly include every band that I think is putting out great stuff, the playlist would be 3 hours long . With that being said, this is not my list of best new artist , it’s not my list to proclaim that I’m a critic and these are the only bands you need to listen to. It is a list of some of my favorite new bands of the last few years and songs I think are kick ass representations of those bands. and hopefully you can use the playlist as a starting point to discover even more. This playlist does not include garagerock, or surf that’s all going to be in the next installment of my most played albums of 2016.

Audi has just shown off their concept for a new premium full-size SUV at the Detroit auto show. The Q8 concept is designed as a four-seat "luxury lounge", and is intended to give buyers a look at the production Q8 expected to debut next year.
Audi calls the Q8 an "elegant alternative to the robust presence of a classic sport utility vehicle." This is a premium vehicle, aimed more at providing "maximum luxury" than the utility part of the SUV equation. Audi says that the look is a "modern interpretation of the original Quattro car" with details like wide and flat C-pillars and wide flared arches calling back to the styling of the original 1980's Quattro.
The new look is a big change from current Audi styling as well: the octagonal grille is much larger, with a more aggressive shape compared with the rest of the line. It also doesn't fall into the trap of looking just like the rest of the lineup, something Audi could be accused of lately.
The Q8 concept is 5,020 mm long and is very much full-size; despite the sloping roofline, Audi claims there is comfortable seating with adequate head room for all four seats. Inside, the show car has an augmented reality head-up display, full-width touch screens, and race-car style sport seats for all passengers.
Powering the Q8 concept is a plug-in hybrid system. There is Audi's familiar 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 producing 333 hp. Connected with that is an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic that adds 134 hp and 243 lb-ft for a total of 442 hp and 516 lb-ft. Audi claims that it would achieve 2.3 L/100 km on the European fuel economy test cycle, and the 17.9 kWh battery gives an estimated 60 km range.
Where the power meets the road are massive 23-inch alloys with a show car-appropriate 305 mm wide tire. The ceramic brake discs are an equally huge 20-inches in diameter. The suspension is air-cushioned with adaptive damping to adjust compliance and ride height. Finally, quattro all-wheel drive routes power for maximum grip, and can distribute torque to assist cornering.
Audi says that the production version of the Q8 will be announced next year.


Tired of near-death-experiences when bicycling on the bicycle-path because of those crazy scooter drivers? Well, good news for you – they’re about to send scooters and mopeds to the regular road.
A majority of parliament is in favor of a measure that makes it possible for the municipality of Amsterdam to move moped riders and ‘snorscooters’ to the regular road instead of the bicycle path. VVD and CDA first had their reservations, but are now on board.
‘The problems on the bicycle path are increasing. Our infrastructure in large cities no longer suffices. Let us therefore allow big cities to take measures’, said member of parliament Remco Dijkstra of the VVD. ‘Amsterdam is unique. Let us be pragmatic and start there. Then we evaluate after a year. “
‘Traffic assholes are the problem’
The PVV is against the measure. MP Roy van Aalst speaks of ‘symbolic measures’ that only lead to confusion. ‘Moroccan traffic assholes that terrorize the cycle paths are the real problem. It is a misconception that if the municipality places traffic signs that they will drive decently on the road. Certainly if this is hardly enforced in the Republic of Amsterdam. ‘ – (What the hell PVV? That’s even out of bounds for you idiots)
The municipality of Amsterdam is ready for it
The municipality has waited a long time for a go-ahead from parliament. If the legislation is adopted without any motions today, the new traffic rule is likely to start in Amsterdam on the first of July, says a spokesperson for the municipality. “We have prepared everything for this. The measure must still pass the Council of State. ‘ January the 1st of 2018 is too soon for the legislation and appropriate measures to be implemented.
Moving the scooters to the carriageway improves road safety, says the municipality. By moving the mopeds to the carriageway (with a helmet), it is estimated that will be 260 incidents per year less. In addition, the nuisance on the bike path will also decrease.
So what do you think? Good idea or idiotic that scooters and mopeds will go to the regular road?

In its coalition agreement, the government pledged to build on the Freedom of Information Act and “extend transparency to every area of public life”. The Rt Hon Lord McNally, Minister of State for Justice, outlines the next steps that government will be taking to extend Freedom of Information and ensure the public have greater ability to hold them to account.
How information is used, misused, hidden or shared is rarely out of the headlines. We have to think differently about information to the way we did in the past. People expect more information, and modern technologies enable that information to be used and manipulated in new and interesting ways.
In the Coalition Agreement, the Government pledged to spread transparency to every part of public life, and we have made a strong start in achieving this goal. Transparency is the foundation of accountability. If we want people to play a bigger role in our society and be able to hold government to account we need to give them the information to do so.
As a longstanding enthusiast for transparency I am convinced of the benefits Freedom of Information (FOI) brings. I am delighted to have the opportunity, as a Minister, to help shape the next phase of FOI in this country.
We continue to make a wide range of data available routinely, including about Government spending, contracts and salaries. We are pushing the boundaries of this work. Over the coming year, for example, data relating to primary care outcomes, the effectiveness of schools, and sentencing will be published, and a Code of Recommended Practice for Local Authorities on Data Transparency has been launched. We are also creating a new “right to data” to ensure public authorities make datasets available in a re-usable format, and make them available for re-use.
These changes support our commitment to open up public authorities to greater scrutiny and allow the public to hold us to account. They will also bring real social and economic benefits by enabling businesses, non-profit organisations, volunteers and others to exploit datasets held by public authorities for social and commercial purposes.
Alongside these developments, the original basic right to access any recorded information under the FOI Act remains very important. No matter how many datasets are published and made available for re-use under the right to data initiative, there will always be a great demand for the release of other types of information such as minutes of meetings and policy documents.
That is why the Government is also taking steps to extend the existing scope of the FOI Act. We have already extended the Act to academy schools. From November this year, it will also extend to the first three of a number of bodies considered to be performing functions of a public nature – the Association of Chief Police Officers, the Financial Ombudsman Service, and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. Consultations are also underway with over 200 further bodies about their possible future inclusion.
In addition, the Protection of Freedoms Bill will extend the Freedom of Information Act to all companies wholly owned by any number of public authorities. The current arrangement, under which a company is only subject to FOI if it is wholly owned by a single public authority but not two or more, is illogical. The correction of this anomaly will, we estimate, bring over 100 new bodies within the scope of the Act.
Transparency isn’t just about information we deal with on a day to day basis. We will also make older information available sooner as a matter of course by reducing the point at which public records are generally made available from 30 to 20 years, accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the maximum lifespan of a number of FOI exemptions. However, genuinely sensitive information, particularly personal data, must remain protected.
More generally, now that the FOI Act has been in operation for nearly seven years it is right that it is examined to see how well it is operating. That is why post-legislative scrutiny of the Act will be carried out by Parliament following submissions by the Ministry of Justice late this year.
The evidence drawn from post-legislative scrutiny will help inform future policy developments in this area. Also of key importance to policy development will be the Government’s Transparency and Open Data Strategy, currently the subject of a public consultation.
A strong and independent Information Commissioner is vital in the promotion and enforcement of information rights, and therefore to the success of our plans. We are enhancing the Commissioner’s corporate and administrative independence through the Protection of Freedoms Bill, and a new Framework Agreement (published on 15 September) setting out the day-to-day relationship between the Commissioner and the Ministry of Justice.
The delivery of increased transparency is not straightforward and presents challenges that Government must meet.
Transparency, either through the FOI Act or proactive publication shines a light on the way in which public services are delivered and acts as a key driver for efficiencies and cost savings. But we need to ensure that we can be transparent about the delivery of public services without jeopardising the privacy of the individuals who use those services. We also need to make the best use of public funds: the cost of FOI is something which many are concerned about and which we are acutely aware of, especially in the current financial climate. We need to get the balance right and both the costs and benefits of FOI will be examined during post-legislative scrutiny.
As well as enhancing transparency, the Government is committed to reducing regulatory burdens. Difficult decisions have to be made to ensure that we strike the appropriate balance between these key priorities. It is for this reason, for instance, that to date the Government has decided not to extend the FOI Act to private companies providing public services under contract. But we recognise that we must take account of changes in the way public services are delivered as we move forwards and we see a strong argument for increased transparency by all bodies in receipt of public funds, including those outside the public sector. The Transparency and Open Data Consultation explores how this might be achieved.
People should be able to hold the public sector to account over how their money is spent and the decisions made on their behalf. We will continue to stride further down the road of delivering the openness and accountability that the people of this country deserve.
Please read our comments policy before posting.
On Thursday, 20 October Lord McNally will be speaking at the Westminster Legal Policy Forum Seminar, The future of Freedom of Information – challenges for expansion. More details.

My grandfather once told me, “Believe half of what you see, a third of what you hear and 10 percent of what you read.” He of course was referring to what we all know…things are not always what they seem and a smart man seeks the truth, the whole truth.
This week we witnessed another example of this as the Assistant Inspector General (IG)of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released its report: The Office For Civil Rights Did Not Meet All Of Its Oversight Requirements In Its Oversight And Enforcement Of The Health Insurance Portability And Accountability Act Security Rule. (We’ll refrain from commenting on the length of the title…really?)
This report on face value paints a very negative picture of the Office for Civil Right’s (OCR’s) performance and registers another mark against HHS in information security. But wait, this report looks at information collected in 2010, just after OCR assumed responsibility for the Security Rule. Yet it was just published last month, three years later.
The first observation I would make is that it’s likely whatever the situation was in 2010 is not representative of today. The second observation I would make is the timing of these reports is lousy and hardly useful. Putting that aside, let’s take a closer look at what the IG had to say. In fairness I think it is only right to acknowledge that the IG that released this report is not the IG who authorized the audit.
The report details several shortcomings, the first of which was that OCR had not met its responsibility to conduct audits of covered entities as directed by the HITECH Act. Well, OK, in 2010 that was true. They had not yet begun conducting audits, but they had begun developing the audit program. They did begin audits in 2011, barely. It was December actually, but who is keeping track? And they completed their pilot year in December of 2012. We haven’t seen any audits in 2013 and probably won’t until summer of 2014 according to OCR's latest communication, but they will be auditing again.
So is it fair to say they haven’t met their responsibility today. I guess you could say that if you were expecting they were going to launch an audit program immediately in 2009 without any preparation, or if there was some requirement for X number of audits per year. The first scenario is unrealistic and certainly not what the industry would want and the second doesn’t exist. So what of the money issue? HITECH essentially put OCR in a position of having to raise its own budget for enforcement activities by levying fines, but then tied their hands by requiring they first resort to “informal resolution” options before using fines. That makes it a little hard to raise revenues when you can’t fine. That of course was resolved this year with changes to enforcement in the Omnibus Rule. So the first claim is only partly believable.
The second complaint was that OCR had not followed investigative processes consistently and failed to maintain relevant information to those investigations in official files. This of course, if true, would be very troubling and highly uncharacteristic of experienced civil rights investigators and lawyers in general. Again we are talking about 2010; right after OCR was given responsibility for oversight of the security rule.
Could it be that some of the inconsistency was due to or perceived as the initiation of this program? I don’t know for sure, but my gut tells me there is probably more to this claim than what is presented here. Investigations must be conducted properly and consistently and the evidence of non-compliance accurately documented and retained if we are going to hold people accountable. Given the careful and methodical process OCR has followed conducting its investigations (some would say slow) it is hard to believe that this is, if it ever was accurate, not corrected by now. As for the second claim, it is only partly believable.
The next claim is that OCR had not complied with FISMA. I doubt that anyone would argue that the OCRs systems maintaining information regarding their complaint and breach resolution activities should be protected properly. The only question that matters here is whether or not there was a directive within the Department of HHS prior to this audit directing OCR to meet FISMA compliance. Compliance begins at the department level, is then directed to elements of the department, and carried out by the operating units responsible.
The report is pretty clear that the department had an established policy regarding FISMA compliance; it existed prior to the audit and applied to OCR. The report also points out that there was some transference of systems/data from CMS, but does not mention if the legacy systems were accredited, and obviously makes it apparent that this transfer was known to the department. The reason I make this point is because in 2010 OCR, to my knowledge, did not have any dedicated information security personnel, so who was supposed to carry out this accreditation? OCR is resident in the HHS headquarters building so there is a good chance the HHS CIO is aware of their IT environment, perhaps even supports it. Why then did they not make sure these systems were accredited properly? The third claim is believable.
As you can tell I’m not a fan of reports that come out years after an audit has occurred, which if the reader does not carefully pay attention, may believe that this is how things are today. Secondly, my grandfather, who was one of the most important influencers in my life, taught me the important lesson of not necessarily believing everything at face value. In fairness to the IG I do believe there are some truths in this audit report and some concerning issues, but I also believe that there is more here than meets the eye. OCR has come a long way from 2009/10 in its activities and maturity in information security, and it would be blatantly unfair to paint them TODAY with this brush. A better question, why did it take three years to publish such a simple report?

The USAF Thunderbirds honored one of their own during a dedication ceremony in Tuskegee, Alabama.
Captain Joseph N. “Pete” Peterson graduated from Tuskegee Public School in 1967. It was during his high school years when he developed an interest in flying and started taking lessons. After graduation, he attended Auburn University and participated in the school’s ROTC program. On August 27th, 1971, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. During his flying career, he served in Korea flying the F-4E Phantom.
In 1981, Capt. Peterson joined the Thunderbirds. As only the second African-American pilot to join the team, he broke barriers and continued to change the way things were done. Sadly, he was one of the four pilots killed in the infamous “Diamond Crash” in 1982.
A 10.5 mile portion of State Road 199 in Tuskegee, AL changed names to honor Peterson. The Captain Joseph “Pete” Peterson Memorial Boulevard honors the legacy that Peterson left. The road, near Morton Field Airport, connects two former Tuskegee airfields where black pilots trained in the days when training was segregated.
In a post on their Facebook page, the USAF Thunderbirds said that “as a Thunderbird, Pete exemplified everything we are as Airmen then and today — Bold, Courageous, and always #BreakingBarriers”
The six F-16 fighting falcons performed a flyover during the ceremony.

Received two units, and both impellers flew off on first test at about 30 power (2S), one impeller smashed the other ok. Could not power more than 40 on both engines before vibrations took overhand, need to replace shafts with better, harder, and straight steel shafts before testing again (and buying at least one more impeller). Not worth the money, buy the GWS ones.Sturdy case, perfect operation.I bought 2 of these and the shaft has bended after 2 minutes.
Totally disgusted.Absolute garbage - don't waste your money. Mine fell apart just after starting it and broke.Mine was not balanced and vibrated excessively at full power. The thin hub of the impeller failed which allowed me to replace the impeller with the 30 mm GWS which is the same as the one that it comes with except I reamed mine out which keeps the center of the hole in the center. Initially it did not have sufficient power to fly a 65 gm plane. With the new impeller it runs much more smoothly and quieter. I have not test flown it since.espetacular turbina para mini modelos, com uma muito boa relaao peso potencia e baixo consumo, montada num pequeno e leve micro jacto faz maravilhas...I ordered 2 of those items and created a small A10 around them. A lot of effort and a lot of money for nothing. The first time at full power the fan hit the shroud and broke. Ordered a new fan, balanced it ( very difficult! )and flew again. For 2 minutes all went well untill one fan made a lot of noise and stopped. Motor and fan proved to be completely loose in the shroud.
Please don't sell these kind of products without testing them. After more than 70 orders this is my first complaint and disapointment in United hobbies!I bought 2 of these fans, and designed and built a A10 for them. A lot of effort with very poor results. The first time on full power the fan hit the shroud, and one blade broke. Ordered a new fan, balanced it very carefully and put it in the plane again. After 2 flights the other fan became very noisy untill it stopped. Completely out of balance. A lot of money for so very disapointing results.Stock setup static test results for this unit are:
* Voltage 7.8V (from a 2200 20C 2S Lipo to ensure no sag)
* Amps 2.9A
* Thrust 44g
* Temp 31C
I have made a thread listing fixes for anyone that may have one or more of the problems that these fan units have:
i turn an adapter to get the bearing near the rotor, then the EDF ist nearly perfect balanced.
The long shaft oscillates around the axis cause the big distance between bearing and rotor.

Previous empirical research has found mixed results for the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) investments on corporate financial performance (CFP). This paper contributes to the literature by exploring in a two stage investor decision-making model the relationship between a firm's innovation effort, CSR, and financial performance. We simultaneously examine the impact of CSR on both accounting-based (financial health) and market-based (Tobin's Q) financial performance measures. From a sample of top corporate citizens, we find that: (1) a firm's social responsibility commitment (CSR) contributes to its financial performance; (2) after controlling for investment in innovation activities, CSR continues to have a positive impact on a firm's financial performance; (3) the customer dimension of CSR has a positive effect on both CFP measures, whereas the employee dimension indicates a significant impact only on financial heath; and (4) the community relation dimension of CSR only affects the market-based CFP measure of firms with high innovation intensity.

thank you for your comments.
In the next two weeks we will be working on adding Planned payments and Sharing functionality to iOS so it delivers same (even better) functionality as Android has. I will keep you posted about further details and progress.
We take great care to deliver best experience possible and in the same time to fix bugs that come up with development, so it takes some time. But in next two months you can expect a lot of exciting new features to pop up in your iPhones.
Thanks again for your patience.Dylan Van Bommel supported this idea ·

Yeah, same here. My partner has an iOS and I told her about the great experience I've gotten with Android, even got convinced into buying premium. I was excited to share the data between us two but got very disappointed that she was not able to have the same experience and see the shared data. So far the iOS app has been improved a lot, I noticed but this key feature is missing.

what does video's mean?, endless answers, possible.
no Idea what you are attempting at all.
(my only oblique clue was that SQ01 teaser)
if you have an unstated PC and want to watch Netflix say so.
or if you want to watch local PLEX videos say so. (*.mkv)
I'm pretty sure you meant stream videos not look at DVD.
and USB is NOT IT.
Samsung Version SQ01
this is the LCD panel name not the TV, the TV that uses that SQ01 panel (one) is LN46C630
on the back of the TV is a tag telling you what you own
tell me what you own makes answers 10x more easy.
here is my wild guess. sorry, 45" wide TV.
when I go there it tell me this RELIC TV is NOT SMART
has no streaming APPS. (box says NO apps)
so my guess is you forget to post like this.
I want to use my PC to watch netfix (or any streaming source)
but my TV is NOT a SMART TV
I have PC (unstated HP ) and want to that with my PC.
The TV is no use, to me or my PC the TV is useless to stream
but It is TRUE the PC can (if not too old) can be the SMART part
yes, you connect the PC to your enternet
and go to Neflex.com , log in and bingo but alas the PC screen is dinky do small and buy hdmi cable and connect PC to TV hdmi
and in the TV push (remote inhand) Input select and HDM1 (what you picked) and bingo TV is not large screen to PC.
on HP laptop the hot key is Fn+F4, to use external screens.
if the HP is desktop say so and we can talk that all day, I you want.
the other way, I have 1 TV in the guest room , huge 55"
that is not SMART also, like yours. just has inputs hdmi.
so on goes the ROKU box for $99 and now IT is a smart TV
no PC needed or wanted there.
so now I answered 3 ways possible to stream vids/.

Horses pull a British army ambulance wagon on the Western Front
In the 1982 novel War Horse by Michael Morpurgo, set during the First World War and now immortalised in the play of the same name, one of the characters says, “I tell you, my friend, there’s divinity in a horse and... to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap.”
Which makes it all the more shocking that between 1914 and 1918 so many equines died in a conflict wrought by those who professed to hold these animals in such high esteem.
Animals were used in the First World War on a scale never seen before and never to be repeated.
It was not only horses that were required to make the ultimate sacrifice: a surprising array of different beasts saw active deployment, both at the front line and on the home front.
They were engaged in a range of activities; some deadly serious, others laughable with hindsight but all calculated to help their masters secure victory.
Man’s love affair with the horse goes back more than 5,000 years to when the first wild ones were domesticated on the steppes of Central Asia.
As beasts of burden and transportation, horses were soon an integral part of everyday life.
Inevitably they found themselves pressed into military service, from pulling battle chariots for the Sumerians, Romans and Iceni queen Boudicca – whose own chariot was probably harnessed to a pair of native British hill ponies – through carrying medieval knights in heavy armour to the ill-fated charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava in 1854.
Times were changing but at the outbreak of war in 1914 every major army still had sizeable cavalry regiments.
Military requirements were such that large numbers of extra horses were compulsorily requisitioned for the war effort, leading to heartbreaking scenes as beloved pets and trusted working animals were led away to the front.
It was not only horses that were required to make the ultimate sacrifice
“We are writing for our pony,” pleaded Poppy, Lionel and Freda Hewlett in a letter to British War Secretary Lord Kitchener in August 1914, “which we are very afraid may be taken for your army. Please spare her.”
On this occasion Lord Kitchener showed humanity and Betty the pony was reprieved.
Few animals were so lucky.
Thousands of horses, mules and donkeys were transported to the front to be used for hauling supplies, artillery and other equipment.
Not only were they vulnerable to being killed or injured in crossfire but they were often deliberately targeted by the enemy to weaken supply chains and morale.
Conditions for man and beast alike were atrocious, with as many dying from accidents, disease and drowning in the mud as from weapon fire.
The Flanders fields were soon littered with the corpses of not only soldiers but also their dead and dying horses.
While horses did most of the heavy work, other animals were entrusted with more discrete activities.
Dogs were trained to perform a variety of tasks, often in extremely dangerous circumstances.
Bloodhounds searched for wounded soldiers while other breeds ran between the lines carrying messages, sniffing out mines and even laying new electric lines between trenches via freewheeling spools attached to their backs or flanks.
Dogs were popular military mascots, joining an elite band that included more outlandish creatures like the koala taken to Egypt by Australian troops.
One of the most famous mascots was Winnipeg, the black bear brought to England in 1915 by a Canadian cavalry officer en route to France.
Rather than subject “Winnie” to the horrors of the front, the decision was taken to leave her in the relative calm of London Zoo where she later became the inspiration for AA Milne’s Winnie-the- Pooh and died peacefully in 1934.
The most decorated dog of the First World War was Stubby, a Boston bull terrier who attained the rank of sergeant in the US army.
Stubby played an active role in 17 engagements, was injured twice, and valued especially for his ability to give early warning to his human comrades of surprise gas attacks.
He was later received officially by President Woodrow Wilson in recognition of his war record.
Dogs were sometimes used to transport carrier pigeons to the front line in special baskets.
Pigeons flew to and fro with messages between the front line and HQ, an essential means of contact when wireless and field telegraph were always breaking down.
Major Richardson and his trusty bloodhounds
A bird named Cher Ami (Dear Friend) was awarded the French Croix de Guerre for delivering 12 vital messages during the Battle of Verdun in 1916, once covering 25 miles in 25 minutes.
Shot through the chest, blinded and minus a leg, she still completed her last mission before being sent home in glory to New Jersey where she died of her wounds. Stuffed for posterity, she is now on display in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.
Pigeons did more than carry messages.
The Germans trialled “spy doves”, fitted with cameras timed to take photographs at intervals as the birds circled – hopefully, at least – over the British lines.
Less random but more curious perhaps was the use of glowworms by soldiers as a means of reading maps and letters from their families and sweethearts in the gloom of the trenches.
The glowworms were kept in jam jars specially for this.
Meanwhile other animals saw wartime service much closer to home.
The removal of so many horses from Britain led farmers and tradesmen to seek alternative beasts of burden.
Many of these were liberated from zoos and circuses, such as a pair of llamas who were drafted in to help deliver the post in Basingstoke.
One of the most exotic stand-ins was Lizzie the elephant, a seasoned circus performer who left the big top to lumber through the streets of Sheffield pulling a cart of scrap iron.
She was even given a special pair of boots to protect her feet from sharp objects on the ground.
Other elephants made for an incongruous sight in the fields of Surrey as they pulled ploughs and helped out with the harvest.
Welfare concerns over the use of animals on battlefields became an increasingly political issue as the First World War dragged on.
Although censorship shielded eyes at home from the real horror, the RSPCA and Blue Cross were busy fundraising to support the network of field hospitals set up in France to care for injured horses and dogs.
Of the estimated one million horses sent to the front by the British, more than 900,000 failed to return.
Not all died in active conflict either.
By the time peace was signed in 1918 many animals were simply too exhausted or broken to go on.
Expensive to feed and transport home, thousands were simply shot where they stood.
With meat in desperately short supply, their carcasses were often sold to local butchers.
The role played by animals in wartime remained largely un acknowledged until 2004 when the Animals In War Memorial was unveiled by the Princess Royal on Park Lane, London.
The result of a national campaign that raised more than £2million, the memorial stands as a tribute to the vast army of creatures who paid the ultimate price.
Its poignant epitaph reads “This monument is dedicated to all the animals that served and died alongside British and allied forces in wars and campaigns throughout time.
"They had no choice.”

In the coming weeks I am going to begin to write here about the healing methods I use as a way of making myself write the book on healing that I've been promising to write for so long!
Before I start though, its important to talk about what it means to be a healer. Jonathan Goldman, an expert in music and healing frequencies, is someone whose music I use all the time in healing sessions. He remarks that frequency + intent = healing.
Intent is where the healer comes in. The intent is to heal obviously. But how do you get into that state? The healer is not immune from illness. He or she may have lots of things going on that they are working on in their own selves. Often this understanding adds to the ability to understand what a client might be experiencing. In my view that is fine as it keeps you human and not in danger of stepping into a role where everyone thinks you have all the answers. The important thing is to get out of your own way and not bring your own stuff into the sessions you conduct.
Intent is ultimately about being absolutely clear that anything is possible. The intent is 100% removed from thinking about outcomes, getting stuck in a diagnosis, or underestimating the life path of the client and what they may have chosen to experience and what they have the power to release.
So how do you get yourself to this state of intent?
My personal recipe is first to have a teacher or system that you can refer to that keeps you clear on a personal and heart level. I personally use the techniques of Knowledge as taught by Maharaji and find his teaching keeps me on track and in touch with myself.
Secondly, the healer needs to learn a system that helps to channel the energy not from you but through you. Again I personally trained in the Domancic method, which works well on physical conditions and in a Bioenergy healing method that works deeply on emotional conditions. For people with really stuck thinking I trained in The Work of Byron Katie.
Thirdly, a personal rule must be to separate work from life. The healer is a healer only at work. In life they have their own learning to experience and their own bridges to cross. It is vital to have a work-life separation. Too often the healer draws in "clients" to their personal life and the end result is rarely positive.
Maharaji once told a very good story to illustrate this. He gave the example of someone who comes to you with his finger cut off. He cries, "Look I've cut off my finger!" You help him bandage the finger, you talk about why he cut off his finger, you worry about how he's feeling and you take such care of him until that wound has healed. Then you turn your back and in seconds he's back. "Oh look!", he wails, "I've cut off another finger." You go through the same process again and then when all is well, he's back with yet another finger cut off. The point here, Maharaji says, is how many fingers are you going to stay for? Because the severed fingers will keep on coming. Compassion is staying for the first finger and maybe the second, but when the chopped fingers keep on coming then, if you stay, you are being lenient, not compassionate and leniency is no good for you or for the person chopping off his fingers.
A point comes when you have to walk away. For whatever reason you are not the person the deal with the severed finger syndrome. A 'finger chopper' can only be helped when they admit that the problem is that they can't stop chopping off their fingers.
Is walking away easy? No! Is walking away necessary? Absolutely! Healing is not rescuing or saving or performing some magical act. Rather it is a choice to cooperate with someone who wants to grow in their lives and by taking part and just being present without agendas or ego the healer also learns and grows with every client.
So the lesson of compassion versus leniency is vital in anyone's life, but especially in the life of someone who chooses a healing profession. Once that lesson is learned the intent becomes even more clear and more powerful. It also flows into professional life as clients also benefit. They can be guaranteed a compassionate approach but also a tough line in the sand that will not allow for any lenient acceptance of negative or destructive patterns.

VLBC Letter Urging Governor to Protect and Support Virginia’s Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic Richmond, VA – The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus (VLBC) sent the below letter to Governor Ralph Northam. VLBC calls on the Governor to use the full extent of his powers as Governor to protect and support all of Virginia’s workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those essential workers risking their lives and well-being every day on the frontlines in our fight against this virus.
Richmond, VA – The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus sent the below letter to Governor Ralph Northam. In this letter the VLBC expresses grave concerns with reopening Virginia’s economy too soon under Phase One of the “Forward Virginia” plan. Our Commonwealth lacks the testing, the economic support structures, and the clarity of governmental guidance needed to reopen at this time. VLBC also asks that the Governor respond to our concerns with an equity-focused plan, that clearly addresses disparities for Black Virginians, Virginians of Color, and other underserved and vulnerable communities.
Richmond, VA – The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus sent the attached letter to Governor Ralph Northam ahead of the Governor’s Action Deadline. While the Governor and his team review legislation, the VLBC calls on the Governor to refrain from delaying effective dates on legislation that will support our essential workers (like raising the minimum wage without further delay), promote environmental justice, and retain equity-focused measures in the Commonwealth’s budget.
RICHMOND, VA—The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus (VLBC) proudly represents the diversity of Virginia. Our 23 members hail from every area of the Commonwealth. We are committed to improving equity and working toward a Virginia where everyone has the tools and resources needed to thrive in a prosperous economy. As a caucus, we support empowering workers by raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour for all areas of the state and removing exemptions that are rooted in racism and have unjustly kept many people of color from being paid the minimum wage. That is why VLBC opposes the inclusion of language, in any minimum wage raise bill, that would discriminate against workers based upon the region wherein they reside.

Have you been trying to get pregnant for several months with no success? If so, it may be time to consult a fertility doctor at Arizona Reproductive Medicine Specialists. We can guide you to the most effective fertility treatments for your needs with flexible financing options and attentive, personalized care.
Couples wanting to get pregnant can help increase their chances by making smart choices
Even if you aren’t having fertility issues, it may take up to a year to get pregnant under normal conditions. Clinical infertility can further complicate the process and create extra stress as you try to conceive, so it’s important to know how to improve the chances of pregnancy by maintaining ideal conditions for conception. Below you will get a closer look at some of the factors that can boost fertility in both healthy couples and those struggling with infertility.
Most moms-to-be know that prenatal nutrition is important even before conception, because a healthy diet can help prepare the body to create a more hospitable environment for a growing baby.
There is no “fertility diet,” but a well-balanced diet is important for both the female and the male when trying to get pregnant. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may find a low-carbohydrate diet helpful.
Folic acid is an essential nutrient prior to conception that will help prevent certain serious birth defects. But women may not get enough of it from food sources like eggs and spinach. Therefore, folic acid supplements or prenatal vitamins may be necessary to ensure a good balance.
High levels of caffeine, which is about three cups of coffee daily, may decrease fertility and increase the risk of having a miscarriage.
Lifestyle choices can help in getting pregnant
Cigarettes and alcohol are detrimental for male and female fertility, so both partners should consider kicking the habits of drinking and smoking well before pregnancy is achieved. This will not only improve fertility but it can also make it easier to stay on track with healthy habits once conception does occur.
Women should exercise moderately, as too much exercise can suppress ovulation. A 45 minute or less cardio workout five days a week is a good limit. Moderate exercise also reduces stress.
Take measures to reduce stress, because stress can interfere with ovulation. Factor in down time, try yoga, meditation, acupuncture, whatever brings stress levels down.
Frequent sex during peak ovulation
Women trying to get pregnant should be very familiar with their menstrual cycles. There are many different smartphone apps now available to track cycles conveniently and know when ovulation is taking place.
Using an ovulation predictor kit will also be helpful for recognizing the time of the month when fertility is at its peak. Men may need to control their body temperatures, too, by wearing boxers instead of briefs and avoiding excessive heat near the testicles for an optimal sperm count.
Intercourse at least twice a week increases chances of getting pregnant. And intercourse before, rather than after, ovulation is best. Having sex every day or two during midcycle can increase your chances of success.
Some lubricants negatively affect sperm health. If a lubricant is used, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends products with a hydroxyethylcellulose base, canola oil and mineral oil.

Why Do We Do It?
Why is there "Photography?" Why do people take pictures? Especially now, in our times when so many people have small video cameras so readily at hand (as part of their cell phones I mean), why do we still take photographs instead of videos? After all, videos are potentially more valuable - more likely to get you on TV - say if you spot an aircraft falling from the sky, who wouldn't want to be the one of potentially thousands who have the credit "Video Courtesy Of..." on the evening news?
What's more - we know that everybody is watching TV - all video's, both amateur and professional are being consumed by a mass worldwide audience - of that you can be certain. So why is there still this thing called Photography, which, thanks to Digital Cameras, has become more popular than ever? Do people really even bother to look at photographs any more? I mean really? Go into a typical home of anybody who is now under age 40 (Gen-X'ers - wow, time sure is passing isn't it?) - and aside from maybe a couple of professional wedding pictures and baby pictures, are there any photographs hanging on the wall, or in coffee table frames? Chances are, there will not be any photos (or paintings) of any kind, but I can guarantee - one thing you will see is a flat screen TV hanging prominently and proudly on the wall. Naturally one could argue that the TV could be used as a central display for all photographs and other media -- and yes, I will buy that if it were true, but chances are, you'll never see a slide-show running on the 52 inch TV, will you?
I take photographs - and not videos, for a reason, even though my camera is capable of "cinematic" videos, with the right accessories. The photo above is pretty much only a snapshot, taken with my phone camera, while I was waiting for somebody to come through the checkout line. But I just "saw" something here - a composition, combined with a story. So I took the picture, and I'm so glad I did. But why? Why take it at all? I'm glad I took it, because somehow, it just "works". It is a record of what I "saw" - whatever it was that caught my gaze is now available for analysis, criticism and enjoyment. That is the photographic artist in me. Before photography became an art, this is why people made drawings and paintings. Mostly, this picture is now a captured moment in history. It is a point of comparison between now - the 21st Century, and the photographs of men with hats sitting around the cracker barrels of the old General Stores of a Century ago. Was I thinking that when I took the picture? Nope! not at all. It was simply that I had the time, it caught my eye, I unholstered my cell phone and took the picture. It's only now, afterwards, that I'm thinking about how our modern Supermarkets compare with the old General Stores. What do people look like now, compared to then? What signs are hanging? How are goods bought and paid for? What are the lights in the store like? It's all there.
Would this have worked as a Video? In my opinion, no. Videos are viewed differently. Videos have an element of passing time. This scene would be totally boring and forgettable as a video - totally of no value, because it is something we all experience daily, and a video would be just more of the same, and pointless. But as a photograph, it is a frozen moment. It becomes something other than our everyday reality. It becomes something about ourselves that is more real than real. It becomes an all important point in history - a point that can be analysed, compared, or simply enjoyed for what it is.
This is why I do it.

Comrade Alfredsson addresses the masses
All over Ottawa, the flags are flying. It's a good time to be red.
We knew our time would come. We believed. And now, locked in struggle with the pawns of the mighty Disneyland Empire, which has ruled our culture and our politics for far too long, history has decided--or is about to do so.
A new day is dawning over Ottawa, and the old order will be swept aside. Yes, our vanguard was named perhaps too lightly after the rulers of another empire, one long since crumbled into dust, but we are not conjuring up the spirits of the past to our service. We have recovered our humour since the dark days of Comrade Stalin, and there will be dancing in the streets. Our first time was tragedy, the second time farce (and the third time, and the fourth) but now the victory shall be ours.
Comrades! What is to be done? We must leave our workplaces, leave our homes, abandon the marketplaces and rally round our brave fighters as they venture into battle. No sacrifice is too great! Recall the words of Comrade Trotsky: "During the first years after the revolution, battles were going on all over the country, woods and peat-bogs were burning, the fields were bare, and the ducks stopped flying." Recall the words of Comrade Krupskaya, reminiscing about the immortal Lenin:
Vladimir Ilyich was a passionate hunter. He got himself a pair of leather breeches, and prowled about all the swamps in the neighbourhood! They teemed with game, I must say. Arriving as I did in the spring, I had been rather surprised at it all. Prominski would come in – he was passionately fond of hunting too – and say with a huge smile: "The ducks have come over – I have seen them."
We too have seen the ducks. And we will do what needs to be done, what history demands of us. Be red!
UPDATE: (June 7) OK, OK, so this was 1905 and not 1917. Our time will come.

“Queen Cristina” is back and ready to fight Macri’s conservative pro-business stance. Less than two years after the end of her presidential term, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has launched a new political party and announced her bid for a Senate seat in October’s mid-term elections. While the chances of coming back are small, she has a whole lot to gain—immunity from the multiple investigations over corruption during her presidency AND another chance to run for the presidency in 2019.
Kirchner’s announcement also comes at a time when candidates all over Latin America are aligning toward various electoral cycles. In Chile, right wing candidates from Chile Vamos held a debate ahead of the July 2nd primaries; while in Argentina, Macri met with Chilean counterpart Michelle Bachelet promising to work on an accord to boost cooperation between the two countries.

Pending completion of final vehicle testing and acceptable local weather conditions, the launch will take place on Wednesday, January 8, with lift-off scheduled for 1:32 p.m. EST, and will originate from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in eastern Virginia. The Antares medium-class rocket will boost the Cygnus spacecraft into a targeted orbit of approximately 130 x 185 miles (210 x 298 kilometers) above the Earth, inclined at 51.6 degrees to the equator. Following in-orbit activation and testing after launch, Cygnus is slated to rendezvous and berth with the Space Station in the early morning hours on Sunday, January 12. Live coverage of the cargo supply mission will be available on NASA Television and at
“Orbital conducted a very successful demonstration mission of the Antares/Cygnus system last September, proving that the company can reliably carry out regularly scheduled operational missions to the ISS for NASA,” said Mr. David W. Thompson, Orbital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Now our team is focused on executing another flawless launch and in-orbit operation to deliver much-needed supplies to the astronaut crew on board the Space Station.”
Under a $1.9 billion Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract with NASA, Orbital will use Antares and Cygnus to deliver up to 44,000 pounds (20,000 kilograms) of cargo to the ISS over eight missions through late 2016. For these missions, NASA will manifest a variety of essential items based on ISS program needs, including food, clothing, crew supplies, spare parts and equipment, and scientific experiments.
For the first CRS mission, the Cygnus spacecraft is carrying 2,780 pounds (1,260 kilograms) of supplies to the Space Station, including science experiments to expand the research capability of the Expedition 38 crew members aboard the orbiting laboratory, along with crew provisions, spare parts and experiment hardware. Also aboard the flight are 23 student experiments that will involve more than 8,600 elementary, junior high and high school students from the United States and Canada. These experiments address life sciences topics ranging from vaccine effectiveness and amoeba reproduction to calcium loss in bones and liquid behavior in space. This mission, together with future Cygnus flights, will ensure a robust national capability to deliver critical research equipment and samples to orbit, significantly increasing NASA's ability to conduct new scientific investigations in the only laboratory in microgravity.

Okay, so it wasn’t exactly a Christmas meal. It was more Christmas Eve, and December 27, and whatever other days we felt like cooking on. To me it isn’t the specific holiday or day that’s important anyway: it’s the chance to be with family and friends and to let them know how much they mean to me. It’s also an excuse to cook!
It was several meals in all. You may notice the seafood theme this year. You see, mom said that all she wanted for Christmas and her birthday was for us to cook for her. We decided she wasn’t going to get away without getting something special (we would happily have cooked for her anyway), so we visited the Alaskan Harvest website. We picked out some Dungeness crab, halibut fillets, a rockfish fillet, and king salmon fillets, and arranged to have them delivered.
Through no fault of Alaskan Harvest’s (delivery companies sometimes don’t behave well), the seafood did not arrive in time. (Their customer service is exemplary. Despite the fact that it was clearly the delivery company’s fault, they immediately and without question arranged to ship me a fresh shipment of seafood to replace the first one – and they were even pleasant and happy about it. The second shipment arrived in short order and will be used later.) So, we turned to our trusty grocery delivery company and ordered salmon, red snapper, swordfish, and frozen king crab legs.
Buttermilk biscuits – the recipe came from an episode of “Good Eats” on the Food Network, and can be found on the Food TV website. Try searching the database for “southern biscuits.” There are some tricks that were mentioned on the show in order to achieve a fluffy biscuit (it’s an amazingly helpful show – well worth watching and a lot of fun!). If you don’t live in the south, your flour is probably too “hard.” It probably has more gluten and protein in it than soft wheat flour, which is what you’ll find in the south. So we substituted 3/4 cup cake flour and 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for the 2 cups flour called for in the recipe. Cake flour has less gluten and protein in it than the King Arthur all-purpose flour we usually use. Also use a sharp biscuit cutter. Be gentle when folding the dough over 5 or 6 times; don’t press it out thinner than about 1 inch. And when mixing the dough, mix it no more than necessary to make the dough hold together. After you’re done, slice the biscuits open, butter them and drizzle with maple syrup, and eat them while watching the next hilarious and informative episode of Good Eats.
We also made creme brulee from the Le Cordon Bleu Home Collection: Desserts. We used a blowtorch to caramelize the sugar rather than a broiler. It helps to ask for the blowtorch for Christmas with promises of making creme brulee in return!
Meals 2, 3 and 4
We of course made the biscuits again–how can you go wrong?
There were three fish dishes in here. First was Cook Inlet Salmon (a simple and delicious teriyaki salmon recipe) from Best Recipes of Alaska’s Fishing Lodges. The second was a Pacific Coast Red Snapper Sambal (the original recipe specified Halibut), from the Timberline Lodge cookbook. The final one was Herb Pesto Rubbed Swordfish (well it didn’t specify swordfish, but that’s what we used) from Marinades.
Side dishes includes a “mushroom surprise,” again from the New Vegetarian Cookbook. It wasn’t bad, but if I had it to do over again I’d probably pick something different. We also made a pineapple salsa to serve with the fish.
Dessert was a coconut maple custard, once again from the New Vegetarian Cookbook.

In the late 1940’s a company named Photo-Pac pioneered the creation of a cardboard camera which might take solely eight photographs and then mailed-in for the lengthy processing.

I'm 41, with my fourth child. Could my age affect the quality or quantity of my breast milk?
It is frustrating when someone makes you question the quality or quantity of your milk supply!
Many three-month-olds wake up several times during the night. Sleeping through the night is a function of a baby's central nervous system maturation, not necessarily an indication that he isn't getting enough to eat.
The quality of breast milk does not change over time. Regardless of your age, socioeconomic status, length of time you have been breastfeeding, country of origin, or any other parameters you want to consider, breast milk remains high quality and chockfull of nutrients and antibodies. The quality of your milk is based on the age and need of your baby — designer breast milk, if you will. Remember that babies often go to the breast for comfort as well as for lunch.
If you are concerned about the quantity of your milk, there are ways to determine whether your supply is adequate to meet your baby's needs. Ask yourself:
• Is he gaining weight at a rate of approximately 1/2 to 3/4 ounce per day?
• Does he soak at least five to eight diapers in 24 hours?
• Is he fairly content throughout the day?
• Do you hear him gulping and swallowing when he nurses?
• How many times is he nursing a day? A lot of exclusively breastfed babies are still nursing anywhere from eight to ten times in 24 hours at this age.
Some women pump their milk to see how much they can produce, but it's not a useful way of figuring out how much the baby consumes. Your baby will always take more milk than you can pump.
If you are still concerned about your milk supply, contact a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) in your area. She can evaluate your baby, his nursing patterns, and your milk production.
I know how frustrating it is to think your not giving good milk or enough milk to your baby. My mother-in-law has told me with 2 of my babies I was making more water than milk. I went to a Lactation specialist at the hospital and she told me, my milk was perfect for my babies. Don't worry too much, just go to the hospital and ask for a specialist to consult with you. Also, if your baby is growing well, you are fine.

My biggest struggle with breastfeeding was my milk supply. It wasn't until I started using Breastea that I made enough breastmilk to feed baby without formula. I now pump 5 to 6 ounces at a time. Without Breastea I would not still be breastfeeding. I LOVE it! If you are not making enough breastmilk try it before you quit. You can order it at Breastea.com and it's cheap!
