For sale:

        Miyata Alumicross Bicycle

        It's a hybrid between a road bike and a mountain bike.  You
        can either think of it as a fast mountain bike or as a touring
        bike that can go anywhere.

        - Alumimum frame (main triangle), 54cm or 21in, but because
          it's a hybrid you'd get a smaller frame than normal.
        - dropped handlebars
        - alloy 700x25C rims
        - Khartoum 35C knobby but high-pressure tires
        - Shimano Deore DX derailleurs and shifters (SIS).  The
          shifters are at the bar-end, but you could switch to
          frame-mount levers with little trouble.
        - Shimano Deore DX cantilever brakes
        - Shimano Deore DX bottom bracket and crankset
        - Shimano 105 brake levers
        - Avocet Gelflex saddle
        - no pedals (I'm keeping my Ultegra platforms)

        I'm selling it because I can't stand mountain bikes and this
        is too much like a mountain bike.  I got it with money from an
        insurance settlement after I totalled my road bike in a car
        accident.  I'm going to get another road bike.  I've hardly
        ridden it at all, perhaps 50km, so the it is in almost new
        condition.  This bike is $1100 new.

        Asking $550 or best offer.

I've had really good luck with a formula called SMA.  You can find it in most supermarkets in either powder (the best way to go) or premixed.  It was recommended to me as being the closest to breastmilk of all the formulas and Jamie has really taken to it well.  I've tried several other brands with him and he couldn't keep any of them down, so I went back to SMA.  Give it a try....couldn't hurt.

Subject: Re: episiotomies.....your doctor is lazy
Organization: University of Chicago Computing Organizations
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 00:02:39 GMT

One thing that has become really clear is that the way to minimize
your chances of having an episiotomy is by selecting your practitioner 
carefully, not by trying to argue it out either before or during the
actual delivery. 

My wife's OB said: 

  "I only do them when medically necessary,  Of course, everybody says
   that; all I can add to reassure you is that my rate of doing them
   is statistically pretty low (she gave us a number which I forget).
   But the decision really is a spur-of-the-moment one.  Tears do not
   always happen gradually over several contractions; sometimes the
   perineum reaches its limit and then ruptures explosively. I can't
   promise you that I won't cut, but I can promise that I'll be with
   you during the pushing phase of labor, massaging and stretching the 
   perineum as gradually and gently as possible.  If you do end up
   with an episiotomy, I'll be able to honestly say that I did
   everything I know how to avoid it."

That's the kind of answer I'd look for in response to the "what about
episiotomies?" question, rather than a doctrinaire "I never do them,"
or "Everybody needs one."

Subject: Hole in the eardrum
Date: 19 Nov 92 18:20:28 GMT
Organization: Tektronix, Inc., Redmond,  OR.


My son (3 1/2 years old) had a checkup recently, and the pediatrician
discovered that he has a hole in one of his eardrums.  He says it
was probably left from when Jordan's tubes fell out.  Jordan got
tubes put in when he was six months old.  I don't know when they fell
out, but they told me at the time the tubes would stay in 6 to 12 
months.  At his 2-year checkup, the dr. said they were still in there
but they looked like they were ready to fall out.  So the tubes
have probably been gone for at least a year, and Jordan still has a
hole in his eardrum.  We're supposed to go back in February to check
to see if the hole has healed over, and if it hasn't, Jordan has to
get a patch on his eardrum.

So, has anyone else had this happen?  What does patching the eardrum
entail?  Does it require anesthesia, and if so, can it be done under
a local?  Is the patch permanent?  

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance,
Judy Drake

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I didn't know where

I have 3 cases of Nutramagin powder, plus a few cans of concentrate that
my daughter no longer needs.  As any of you who use this know, it is
outrageously expensive, and I really can't absorb the loss, so I am
offering what I have left for sale.

The cases are unopened and straight from Meade Johnson.  Each case has
6 cans of powder.  I am willing to sell them for $11/can or the

Well - somehow the name just popped into mind - and then we realized that
the letters were the same.  After weeks of discussion, we realized that we
finally had the "right" name.  We are both experts on Alaskan ecology and
mountaineers, so we were thrilled to think of something that had a bit of

Back in 1975 I used to work for the British branch of a pharmaceutical company
which was the biggest manufacturer of the pill in the world (and probably still
is). We knew about this problem with anti-biotics way back then. It isn't all
that common occurence, but I would have thought with the ever-lowering dosage
it would be an increasing risk.

If my memory serves me I think it wasn't all antibiotics which were to blame.
Can anyone remember which one was the culprit? (And does S. Odonnell remember

I see another problem with this approach. When Jeffrey pulled my hair, it
really hurt! There is no way I would want to hurt him at the same level. From
Judy's original post, I gather, she too, didnt pull Erin's hair anywhere as
hard as Erin pulled Judy's. So what did she teach? That is hurts a little bit?
That it hardly hurts at all? Certainly not that it really hurts! By doing this
sort of thing, you may trivialize the whole situation, and even turn it into a
'fun' game.

Yes, mine did this, too.  Stopped sometime around 10 to 12 months, if I
remember correctly.  One thing we did learn, is to Really burp the baby.
Not infrequently, it would take 15 minuets to 1/2 hour to get a burp out of
her (in contract to most babies who burp in a few minutes), but getting that
gas out reduced the amount and frequency of spitting up.
