11 11 11 Another Year,,,And We Remeber

2011-11-13T17:38:00.000-08:00

11 11 11 Another year.. and We Remember.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Bye -John McCrae-

Frosted Holiday Cookies-Sugar Cookies

2010-12-20T05:53:00.001-08:00

1)Decorating cookies is such a fun family project. Turn on some holiday music, turn off the TV, and spread the sprinkles, candies, and sugars out for this fun event.

Ingredients3-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter or margarine, softened (not melted)
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
vanilla frosting
food coloring (optional)
colored candies (optional)
fruit rolls (optional)
jelly beans (optional)
green and red decorating gel (optional)
sprinkles (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
Additional Materials:

Cookie cutters
Cooking InstructionsSift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
Beat butter or margarine, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture and stir with wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for two hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles with a cookie cutter or other round object, such as a glass or round plastic container. Place circles 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, checking after 6 minutes. Cookies will be done when edges are lightly browned. Do not allow cookies to get too brown. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Remove from cookies sheets to aluminum foil on a flat surface and allow to cool completely.
Using a butter knife, spread frosting on top of each cookie. (If you want to color the frosting, use food coloring and mix it beforehand.)
Let children decorate the cookies with sprinkles, powdered sugar, and candies.
To make holly berry cookies, place two red candies or jelly beans toward the top of the cookie and draw on leaves with green decorating gel.
For sugar stars, trees, and other shapes, gently place a miniature cookie cutter on top of the cookie after it's frosted. Carefully sprinkle a small amount of sugar into the cookie cutter with your fingers, being careful not to let the sugar fall outside. Gently remove cookie cutter.
You can completely cover a cookie with decorative sugar by holding the frosted cookie upside down and dipping the frosted end into the sugar to coat.
Use red decorating gel to write “Ho, Ho, Ho!” on your cookies.
A snowman can be made from candies and fruit rolls (e.g., Fruit Roll-Ups). Cut a strip from a fruit roll, about 1/2 thick, and twist it into a rope. Place the fruit roll up around the top of the cookie as ear muffs and add jelly beans for the muffs themselves. Decorate face with colored candies.
Use cherry raisins to form the petals of a poinsettia. Place a colored candy in the center.
Make it FasterUse packaged cookie dough instead of making sugar cookies from scratch.

About Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate

2010-11-01T07:12:00.000-07:00

About Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
(Hello I WAS BORN WIHT CLEFT PALATE/ AND I AHVE PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEECH,AND I WAS TEASE AT SCHOOL AN I DO NOT HAVE A LOL FRIENDS WANT I WAS IN SCHOOL THANKS YOU ALL SO MCUH
Tilt your head back a bit and look in the mirror. Do you see the way your nose connects to your upper lip?

Now open your mouth. Do you see the seam on the roof of your mouth? Sometimes you can feel it with your finger or your tongue. That's where your palate grew together in the middle. You can see that the palate goes from behind your front teeth all the way to the back of your mouth.

How Does a Kid Get Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate?
The word cleft means a gap or split between two things. A cleft lip is a split in the upper lip. This can happen on one or two sides of the lip, creating a wider opening into the nose. A cleft palate is a split in the roof of the mouth. This leaves a hole between the nose and the mouth. Sometimes a cleft lip and cleft palate occur together in the same person. Cleft lip and cleft palate are very common and occur in about 1 or 2 of every 1,000 babies born in the canada And USA each year.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects, which means they happen while a baby is developing inside his or her mother. Normally, the mouth and nose of a Kids develop between the first 6 and 12 weeks of growth. In some babies, parts of the lips and roof of the mouth don't grow together. Because the lips and the palate develop separately, it's possible to have cleft lip, cleft palate, or both.

We don't always know why a particular baby has cleft lip or cleft palate. Sometimes the condition runs in families. This means that a person with cleft lip or cleft palate may have a relative with the same thing. Other times, cleft palate is part of a syndrome, meaning there are birth defects in other body parts, too. Sometimes a cleft may be related to what happened during a mother's pregnancy, like a medication she may have taken, a lack of certain vitamins, or exposure to cigarette smoke. Most of the time, however, the cause of the cleft is unknown and could not be prevented

What Happens to a Kid With Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate?
A baby with cleft lip or cleft palate may have problems eating. This can be a big problem, especially for a newborn baby. Normally, the palate prevents food and liquids from going up your nose. When you swallow, the tongue presses up against the palate and pushes the chewed food to the back of your throat. Try swallowing slowly and you can feel your tongue touch your palate.

Have you ever laughed so hard while drinking milk that it came out of your nose? Because there is a hole between the nose and mouth in babies with a cleft palate, they have the same problem, but it can happen every time they drink and not just when they laugh. Fortunately, there are feeding specialists and special baby bottles that can help.

Kids with cleft palate can have hearing loss. This may be caused by fluid in the middle ear. Therefore, children with cleft palate should have their ears and hearing checked about once or twice a year. They usually need very small special tubes placed in their eardrums to help them hear better.

Dental problems involving the upper gum or palate often happen with clefts. These problems can include small teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth, or crooked teeth. All kids need to see the dentist regularly and keep their teeth clean. A kid with clefts might need to go to the orthodontist for braces, too, to make sure his or her teeth grow in straight.

Kids with cleft lip or cleft palate may also have problems with speech. When you talk, the muscles of your soft palate help to keep air from blowing out of your nose instead of your mouth. Kids with cleft palate find their soft palate sometimes does not move well and lets too much air leak out the nose while speaking. That gives them problems with certain sounds and it makes them sound like they are speaking partly through their nose.

What Do Doctors Do?
Treating cleft lip or cleft palate takes a team of different types of specialists (in this case, people who are experts in helping kids with clefts). This team includes a plastic surgeon, a speech-language pathologist, an orthodontist, an otolaryngologist (a doctor trained in ear, nose, and throat problems — say oh-toh-lar-un-gah-lo-jist), an oral surgeon, a dentist, a geneticist, a social worker, a psychologist, an audiologist, and other health care specialists. Because there are so many different people for a kid to see, the team has a coordinator who works with the parents to help organize everything.

•Cleft lip is usually repaired by the time a baby is 3 to 6 months old. During surgery on the cleft lip, the doctor closes the gap in the lip and corrects the nostril. A person who has cleft lip repaired as an infant will have a scar on the lip under the nose.
•Cleft palate is usually repaired at age 9 to 12 months. During surgery on cleft palate, doctors close the hole between the roof of the mouth and the nose and reconnect the muscles in the soft palate.
After surgery, a kid will get regular hearing tests to check for hearing problems caused by fluid building up in the ears. Because of this fluid build-up, some kids get special tubes put in their ears to help them hear better. Kids may also need speech therapy when they start talking. Some kids with cleft palate might even need another operation on their palate to improve their speech.

Lots of kids, including those with cleft lip or palate, need orthodontics or braces after their permanent teeth grow in. Braces can straighten crooked teeth. Kids with cleft lip and cleft palate may also need a bone graft when they're about 8 years old. In a bone graft, a surgeon takes some bone, usually from the person's hip, and uses it to fill in the gap in the upper gum area. This allows the upper gum area to hold the permanent teeth better and keep the upper jaw steady.

As kids with cleft lip or cleft palate grow older and become teenagers, some may want to have their scars made less noticeable, their jaws aligned, or their noses straightened. Operations to do these can improve a person's bite, speech and breathing, and appearance.

Living With Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate
Some kids with severe cleft lip or cleft palate have a flattened nose or small jaw. Other kids with just cleft palate may look just like everyone else. Either way, kids with cleft lip or cleft palate want to be treated like everyone else. A person might have cleft lip, but also have beautiful eyes, a great sense of humor, or a terrific slam-dunk!

If you have cleft lip or cleft palate, there may be some things about your face you can't change and some that you can. Doctors can do amazing things to make you feel good about the way you look on the outside, and you can do things to
