Tennessee's childhood obesity rate has significantly increased.
According to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, close to half of the 43 states and territories studied showed a decline in childhood obesity.
Another 21 regions showed no statistically significant change, while Colorado, Pennsylvania and Tennessee all showed an increase.
The CDC states that childhood obesity affects 12%, or one in eight, preschoolers in the United States.
Tennessee's rate of childhood obesity is 14.5%.
Those children are five times as likely as normal-weight children to be overweight or obese as adults, which can lead to lifelong physical and mental health issues.

Season reviews presented in alphabetical order . . .
One of the Hawks' odd organizational quarks is the insistence that Jason Collins is more than a specialist best suited for a narrowly defined role. Perhaps even weirder is how often that line of thinking has worked out for them . . . until it doesn't.
Consider the 2012 playoffs. Larry Drew's decision to start Collins against the Celtics in Game 1 seemed foolhardy but Collins had probably his best performance of the season in Game 1. He not only played good defense against Kevin Garnett but added six points and five rebounds in 32 minutes.
Collins' production dropped off in Game 2 but his on-court, off-court was positive even as it became apparent Boston would focus more on attacking him with screen-rolls. Collins was OK in Game 3 but Drew's faith in him had diminishing returns as Garnett abandoned his strange insistence on posting up Collins.
That Drew stuck with Collins as long as he did is an example of his tendency to give a long leash to veterans who have done anything positive for him in the past regardless of the negative things they are doing at the present (or, for that matter, the limitations suggested by their long-term history). That's not to say the Hawks had any great options in the front court, especially after Ivan Johnson's shaky outing in Game 2, but best to try something different when what you are using isn't working.
I offer these critiques while acknowledging I thought it was a bad idea for the Hawks to bring back Collins in 2010-11. It seemed absurd that part of the reason the Hawks parted ways with Mike Woodson was because he didn't play Collins enough minutes against the Magic in the 2010 playoffs. But it turned out Collins was a key part of the Dwight Defense in 2011. I also thought playing Collins significant minutes against the Celtics was a mistake but his play in Games 1 and (most of) 2 showed that he could help in small doses.
But if I've undervalued Collins at times, the Hawks continue to overvalue him. He's still a solid post defender in certain matchups, though there's evidence he's slipping in that area: According to Synergy Sports Technology, this season Collins allowed .84 points per possession in 32 chances (141st in the league). His defensive on-court, off-court magic subsided even as his opponent PER was respectable.
Those defensive numbers (which, mind you, were accumulated in circumstances most favorable to Collins) would have to be much better to compensate for Collins' career-long lack of offensive production and poor efficiency for a big man. There's also the matter of Collins missing six weeks with an elbow injury, though that development had the effect of freeing up frontcourt minutes for Johnson.
Word is the Hawks will extend a tender to Johnson (as soon as they get around to putting a permanent GM in place) which probably would be enough to keep him. Perhaps that also would mean the end of the occasionally-fruitful-most-times-perplexing Collins era for the Hawks.

I think retaining Ivan is a good idea, especially since this organization usually gets nothing out of it's scouting and lower round picks. Collins holds a roster spot that needs to be filled with better talent, even if that talent is old like Damp.

June 6th, 2012

yup. Time to refresh the roster. Now, it remains to be seen if the 'GM to be named later' will be directed to find bargain basement filler after the top 7 players (assuming that our 1st rounder will be in that top 7). including 3rd string C behind Horford and Zaza.
be nice if the undrafted free agent SG from Seton Hall has enough game to make the roster, which would free up potential draft spots for a SF and mabye backup PG.
Luv Jeff Taylor (SF) from Vandy, esp. his supposed def. prowess. I see folks want C Fab Melo, but then it causes a domino effect on what becomes of Smoove, Horford, and Zaza. I don't think the Hawks are ready to deal with that this summer.
June 6th, 2012
1:53 pm
I don't mind Collins being the 15th man on the roster but it is notable that Dampier outplayed him in the minutes he got. If I had to pick between one or the other, give me Dampier even though he is older.
The Hawks do need a veteran big man who plays solid position defense, but preferably they would be able to find someone better than either Collins or Dampier in free agency.

"Would you do a Josh for Al Jefferson trade straight up – especially if we knew we could sign Jefferson after this season?"
Jefferson brings many of the same problems as Gasol (not a true center, not a great defender, hasn't proven he can win playoff games as the best player on his team) and isn't as good of an offensive player as Gasol (mainly because Gasol is a much better passer), but unlike Gasol, Jefferson is still pretty young, not declining, and not locked into a wildly overpaid deal. For that reason, I'd rather bring him in than Gasol.
I don't see Utah making that deal, though, and I'd rather not deal Josh for a player who will tie up cap space without improving the team.

"The East too me looks like:
Then New York, ATL, Indy, Philly and Chicago, in no particular order. I could see the Hawks beating any of those teams in a series – even Miami."
I don't think there's any way in hell the Hawks beat Miami unless LeBron is injured. But one team you are forgetting in that mix is New Jersey. If Dwight gets his wish and goes there to unite with Deron Williams, they will probably be at worst a top 3 team in the East along with Miami and Chicago.
I still don't see the Hawks breaking through that ceiling to the ECF unless they get some sort of break like the opposing team's best player tearing his ACL. The chances of something like that happening are not good enough to justify keeping this core together in my opinion.
June 6th, 2012

Brooklyn, that is, not New Jersey.
June 6th, 2012

Also, I counted out Boston this year and I was wrong. If that team stays intact they are still going to make noise. Maybe they don't make it back to the ECF but they will be good enough to knock someone out of the playoffs barring injury, especially if some of the young players on that bench like Bradley, Moore, Johnson, and Stiemsma develop.

June 6th, 2012

There is no reason why Twin should be brought back. Dampier looked better than Twin despite being out of shape…
@Grandad the Hawks are not working out players until after the combine. They will be showing the combine tmw and friday on ESPNU. Not having a gm in place for working out players doesnt seem to matter much anyway in my opinion. If Sund doesnt come back Pendergraph will be promoted. He scouts all the college guys anyway so I dont think it matters much.
June 6th, 2012
2:46 pm
Glad to hear Ivan will likely be back.
We need to find a lock-down wing defender with his same attitude & hustle. Someone we can stick on Lebron, Granger, Wade, Kobe, Melo, Iggy, Pierce, G. Wallace, Gay, Batum, Durant & Deng.
Let's trade Marvin for Metta World Peace. We'd be all filled-up on crazy with Ivan & Metta running around.
In closing, I'd like to than Mr. Collins for "clocking" Amundsen early in the season, but its time for him to move on.
June 6th, 2012
2:55 pm
@Eric C. I see where you are coming from, but the Hawks should have had enough fire in them to beat them regardless, because it's a series with one of our most hated rivals, and we are trying to get to a ECF(Hopefully). Also, if we would have beat them in the game, that the Celtics didn't have Rondo, we would have had a game 7, that game should have been a easy win!
June 6th, 2012

not feeling overly excited about the prospects looking at this list:
I kinda like Solomon Alabi, but I wonder if he has "stiff-like" qualities …. and if he has enough experience to be play sound position defense that belies his career stats.
Didn't realize we spent nearly 4 mill between 3 players as SG backups … (T-Mac, WG, and Stack).
June 6th, 2012
3:07 pm
LOL @ KG. He looked directly into the camera when he said "the owners who talk too much".
Gearon proved how much of an idiot he was during that luncheon. He's too much of a "fanboy" who thinks he knows about the league, but doesn't know a thing about what it takes to win in the league. KG may be "dirty" at times, but if he's on your side, that's the type of guy you want on your team. Someone who will stop at nothing to win.
As for you Najeh, you seem to totally ignore the reciprocal effects ( team wide ) of having a guy who plays the PF position like it's supposed to be played, and how that may have a ripple effect on the team as a whole. You're against bringing in better offensive PF's in Gasol or Jefferson . . yet you're for a trade for Joakim Noah, a guy who will definitely defend, but would weaken us even more offensively.
Why is that?
You act like Gasol is a defensive liability, but he isn't. The same goes for Jefferson. Both players can hold their on on the defensive end. Both players are loads to handle on the offensive end.
When you add Zaza to the mix, you now all of a sudden have a big frontline to deal with. Instead of worrying about matching up with other frontlines, people would have to match up with us.
Horford: 6-10 . . 250
Zaza: 6-11 . . 275
Gasol: 7-0 . . 250
Horford: 6-10 . . 250
Zaza: 6-11 . . 275
Jefferson: 6-10 . . 289
That's either major height or major beef on the frontline.
I know your opinion is set in stone about not bringing in either of these guys, but I'm just throwing it out there for everyone to see. Josh Smith is a great roming defender, one of the best in the league at what he does. But at 6-9 and now at 225, he's simply too small now to defend good low post players down on the block.
He's changed his body to play SF, so I guess we may as well play him there, seeing that he's taking SF type shots.
June 6th, 2012

MC: I feel for you. Thanks for trying. A blog about Collins. Dampier was a better backup. The fact that the Hawks brag about having Collins speaks volumes.

"You act like Gasol is a defensive liability, but he isn't. The same goes for Jefferson. Both players can hold their on on the defensive end."
We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Long arms may get you 1.5 blocks per game by default but they don't make you a good defender.
"You're against bringing in better offensive PF's in Gasol or Jefferson . . yet you're for a trade for Joakim Noah, a guy who will definitely defend, but would weaken us even more offensively."
I thought the whole point of trading Josh was to move Al to his natural position of PF. In order to do that, you have to get a natural C. Noah plays C with the toughness and tenacity necessary to play that position full time. Gasol and Jefferson don't. I realize Noah is not a good offensive player, but if this is just about making the offense more "balanced", replacing Josh with Noah will arguably accomplish that better than replacing him with Gasol or Jefferson, since Noah does actually hang around the basket all the time, while Jefferson often shoots jumpers and Gasol very frequently shoots jumpers.
Assuming Al's best position is PF, if you have a front court of Al and Gasol/Jefferson, someone is playing out of their best position. If you have a front court of Al and Noah, both players are playing at their optimal position.
More importantly, Noah brings competitive energy and fire that Gasol simply does not have. This team's personality is already way too much like Gasol. They need someone like Noah.
"Horford: 6-10 . . 250
Zaza: 6-11 . . 275
Gasol: 7-0 . . 250
Horford: 6-10 . . 250
Zaza: 6-11 . . 275
Jefferson: 6-10 . . 289
That's either major height or major beef on the frontline."
Those three players can't all play at the same time, so I don't really see the point. Unless you are starting Zaza, someone is still playing out of position.
"But at 6-9 and now at 225, he's simply too small now to defend good low post players down on the block."
You sound an awful lot like pointguardslim right now. Size is important but it isn't everything. I can tell you this — Josh defends KG a hell of a lot better than Gasol does.
June 6th, 2012
3:50 pm
Why would anyone "subscribe" to a stats site when you could just rewatch the games… don't understand this, basketball is not calculus.
Twin just needs to retire. This draft and next years should insure he and guys like Damp should go ahead and call it a career.
June 6th, 2012
3:50 pm
If the Hawks were going up against Dwight Howard, and they had to guard him with either Al or Gasol, I know who I'd rather have guarding Dwight, and it ain't Pau. That is a problem if Pau is being brought in to be the C who moves Al to his "natural position".
June 6th, 2012
3:54 pm
"not feeling overly excited about the prospects looking at this list:
I kinda like Solomon Alabi, but I wonder if he has "stiff-like" qualities …. and if he has enough experience to be play sound position defense that belies his career stats."
Yeah, I doubt that Alabi has been in the league long enough to learn the tricks of the trade that make Collins and Dampier effective. The most promising players on that list I see to fill this role are (gulp) Kwame Brown and Nazr Mohammed. Pretty weak list. I wouldn't mind just keeping Collins or Dampier in that last roster spot.
June 6th, 2012
3:56 pm
Give me Gasol all day long and twice in the low post.
What mistake has Sund made in the draft that warrants such concern?
Twin appears to be super smart and he likely is able to overcome his physical limitations for short spurts before the reality of his body takes over. So I'm not terribly surprised that he has been effective (during abbreviated stints). I recall that MJ's Bulls always had some gray-haired big man on the bench waiting for their 5 minutes to earn a championship ring. John Salley, an ancient Robert Parrish and Bill Cartwright come to mind.
June 6th, 2012
3:57 pm
Teague-Joe-(insert SF upgrade here)-Al-Noah would give you solid defenders at every position and adequate help defense. You wouldn't have the post scoring that Gasol or Jefferson would give, but it's not like their post scoring is going to elevate this team to the conference finals anyway. Noah has a more palatable contract that Gasol, isn't up for an extension like Jefferson, is younger than both, and can be a foundational piece for this team for a long time. Long term, if you amnesty or trade Joe, you have Teague-Al-Noah as your core and you are a scorer away from being an elite team. The only reason Gasol or Jefferson is better is if they put this team over the top in the short term, and they don't.

Why are we obsessed with PFs in this city?
MC, you gotta admit…one 32min/6pts/5reb effort is not enough to beat the Celtics in a best of 7. Collins was visible for one game and after that, LD's magic wand went poof.
The Garnett accusations are comical by Gearon. He definitely has no idea how to keep a sleeping dog down. Like when Sund decides to speak, I hope MC forgoes any more interviews with these 2 going forward.

Najeh, I totally agree with you. Gasol can't be relied upon to play the C position in the playoffs. However, if the Hawks had Gasol and Horford in the line up, and signed someone similar to Dalembert to back him up, then that is different.
However, who ever it is that think you can get Gasol for Josh and Marvin, you're wrong. The Lakers don't want Gasol. The deal would be closer to Josh, Zaza, and Teague for Gasol and a pick.
June 6th, 2012

That entire list is depressing. I sure hope the Hawks can make some other moves to improve this team besides signing guys at the vet min.

A blog on Collins? Thanks buddy, how bout just saying they intend to retain Ivan as a title and post a new blog with no article, just room for comments. It's not your fault MC, I realize you're really scraping. So in the end…thanks for the new material.
Maybe you can feature a blog on why Jamal would/could/will save the Hawks and another to bash the Hinrich/JC2 deal to rehash more stuff that has nothing to do with our future.
We need young rising talent. We have plenty of vets who just don't have what it takes. We need a new culture. One only dreams of turning our Sonics in to a new Thunder. Always wishin we had scouts like the Spurs or Thunder making our pics. Instead we'll sell the draft rights to the 2012 Shellhead for cash to pay our tax on our underachieving lackluster team.

He plays good defense (has given ISO-JJ problems, and for a possession here and there, will make LeBron or Wade really work), and will make a big play at some point (whether that's 2 key offensive rebounds or a big 3).
Marvin's $7.5 mil would be better spent on a guy like that who costs less, and still have a few mil left over.
Can we continue to rely on vet min players to come up big for us (especially in the playoffs)?

re: "Dampier looked better than Twin"…
I've seen this comment 2 or 3 times in this blog….all I can say/ask is What are you clowns smoking? Collins is certainly nothing special, but…..Dampier looked awful…just awful…all season long.

How can a "reporter" get a way with a worthless story on Jason Collins. Only in Atlanta. This contributes to our loserville image. I am outraged that you were allowed to post such drivel. Next you should do a story on an assistant coach or a trainer or the children of the owners.

Given the Hawks financial limitations, Boozer's contract is better than JJ's imo. 4 years, $89 mil left on JJ's contract. As a matter of fact, Boozer's original contract was 5 years, $75 – $80 mil. So Boozer's overall contract is less than what's left on JJ's contract.

"Can anything else compete?"I've just upgraded to the Galaxy Note during a one day only sale where I got this bad boy for 99 cents refurbished. When the unit came in, it looked and felt brand new. The display is not like anything else I have seen, the colors pop and everything is so crisp! I am a fan of the design, and it really doesn't matter anyway because most of us slap a PLASTIC case on it anyway to protect it. Battery life is impeccable! After rooting it and flashing a custom ROM, i got 15 Hours on one charge (not really long if you first think about it) but I had over 7 hours of on screen time. The possibilities are just endless, and the size? Believe me, you'll get used to it quick, you won't regret trying this phone. In fact, I'll be so bold to say don't even listen to the reviews, pick up the phone and let the phone speak for itself!

The Spread of Manufacturing to the Periphery 1870-2007: Eight Stylized Facts
AbstractThis paper documents industrial output growth around the poor periphery (Latin America, the European periphery, the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa) between 1870 and 2007.� We provide answers to the following questions.� When and where did rapid industrial growth begin in the periphery?� When and where did peripheral growth rates exceed those in the industrial core?� When was the high-point of peripheral industrial growth?� When and where did it become widespread?� When was the high-point of peripheral convergence on the core?� How variable was the growth experience between countries?� And how persistent was peripheral industrial growth?

9 Month Cure: The Overview
Time remaining: 103 days
SKGR is due September 18th. Directly afterwards, three of us - not two - will begin living our West Village apartment in all of its 250 square foot glory. We're not afraid. We're inspired. And we're renovating.
During this last 3 months, we plan to blog the whole process. Of course, we've been thinking about it for six months now, but the time has arrived to leap into action.
We have two rooms. One is a bedroom which was renovated five years ago, and the other is the dining room/kitchen area which hasn't really been touched...ever. The plan is to totally dismantle this room, replace the floor (which is coming apart), redo the kitchen and the bathroom and then paint. We aren't going to get a bigger footprint, but we will get more usable space.
Our first project has been forming a new floorplan to accomodate baby, etc, create a shopping list with budget and then get started interviewing contractors and others vendors to help us make our jewelbox turn into a luxury suite.
Last week we visited HenryBuilt on Grand Street, the cool, environmentally sound new kitchen store from Seattle. That story next.
One of HenryBuilt's remarkable wood front, stone topped kitchen units. Check out the continuous pattern from one section of wood across the drawers.
The colorful insides of their drawers surprise you!
A thin Durat countertop with stainless sink inset. We like this countertop as an alternative to stone.
Bamboo close-up. The solid bambood drawer fronts are left to display their core structure.

I had no idea you were pregnant! CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is going to be an exciting time for all of us as we keep up with your reno. Can't wait to see the final results.
Wow! Congrats! Good luck with the renovation and everything!
I've always wondered how you lived in 250 sqft
and i am very impressed!
Yea! Another Virgo! The world needs them, otherwise nothing would get done.
mazel tov! can't wait to see your reno as well.
So far so great; looking forward to seeing the finished work.
Y'all are crazy, but good luck.
what does SKGR stand for?
congratulations! and your space is lovely.
SKGR = Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan, Maxwell's other half and Editor of The Kitchen.
Well I really wish you guys luck and I do not mean that in a negative fashion but having survived infanthood recently I don't know if I could have done it in 250 sq. feet!! We have 850 and it seemed small at times.
What I love about New Yorkers is that we CAN live in 250 sq. feet, and live WELL. Congratulations on the newcomer. I think the place has a lot of great potential. Please do tell, with what have you lined the floor of your bedroom...tatami mats or something else?
what are you going to do when the baby gets bigger? Like Toddler, then Kindergarten - I'm assuming you'll sell after the rennovation move to a place with at least 2 bedrooms?
One other thing as you approach this renovation if you have not already done this - you need to get your apartment tested for lead paint. The home tests are not really accurate. Since you plan to renovate ask your contractor to do it. I wouldn't really trust any "documentation" you may have received from your landlord or person you bought the apt. from if it is a coop/condo.
Congratulations. I think you can do it. The baby's not going to care about square footage. S/he just needs peace and affection to be happy and flourish!
I wonder whether you are doing this to prove that you can. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I question your motivation since I suspect that you could probably afford a bigger place. Where will you go when the baby is wailing and you need just a couple of minutes alone while the other is watching the child? Where will you have time just for yourselves while the baby is sleeping? At the kitchen table? I don't want to be a wet blanket but I think your sanity is really worth more than proving that 250 sq. feet is fine for a three person family.
Also - JJ, do you have children? Children need a lot of things in addition to peace and affection (and I'm not sure how much peace the baby will get with two adults within 250 sq. feet at all times). They need limits and structure and parents who are as well rested as possible.
Congrats! (can't remember if I said it earlier!) How exciting and brave of you to blog your renovation. Your pictures show a really nice use of lighting - especially in that frosted cabinet.
If you're looking for a good home for that fabulous old kitchen sink, I'd be happy to cart it over here to use on Thompson St. (seriously!)
I'm not saying I'd be able to do it, but tons of space is not needed for kids. Most people in this country feel they need it, but it's not needed. My mother's family had 13 kids and when my grandfather and grandmother were starting out, they lived above my great-grandparents. Probably quite a few kids already at this point in 2 rooms. I'm not saying this is ideal, or that I'd do it, but I'm saying it's possible. I frankly find all the accoutrements people feel they need for kids ridiculous...past a certain point. Shower lists have gotten nuts. I guess it's a reflection of the times, but my point is if you truly feel you can live in less space and have a life philosophy about it, or about simple living, it's entirely possible.
Congrats! I have one of those Ikea moon-shaped lights if you want it (you recommended I get one, but I ended up not needing it.) I'm in the hood if you want it...and I've got a lot of other you-only-need-it-for-two-months-and-then-it-gets stored-in-the-basement-stuff, too
(and I've been feeling like 1600sf is not enough...but then I also have a hyper doggie)
Congrats and best wishes!
And more power to you. I have trouble managing to live in my studio and I am but one person with a dog and cat. So I cannot imagine another adult and a child in here.
A child seems to need accoutrements (stroller and toys etc.) and it will be a challenge to work it all out. I look forward to seeing how you do it.
(And for a bit of humor--- check out the episode of Absolutely Fabulous --"New Best Friends" wherein Eddie's minimalist friends come to visit, baby in tow. Very funny.)
Fabulous, you guys! I am so happy to hear you're staying in your place with the new baby. Being responsible for a new little person is change enough without a household move added in. As if you don't already know this, but the only 'baby gear', besides clothes and diapers, you really need for a good long time is a sling or other carrier. And of course SKGR's breasts. :) The rest of it really does practically go straight to the basement... As for registering, how about someplace like Heifer International?
Congratulations on the impending new arrival!
While all the other toddlers are resisting going to bed in their own bed, in their own room, yours will be begging Mommy and Daddy to please, PLEASE buy a bigger apartment with a separate bedroom. I'm not being sarcastic -- I think you have a hilariously effective solution to all the usual developmental problems with separation anxiety and will probably have a very easy toddler stage, with minimal whining for adult attention.
hey, I'd been wondering if you guys would be moving (after I read somewhere here that SKGR was preggers and in Domino - I think - that your apt. is 250 squares).
I did it with a baby in slightly under 500, which must sound luxurious to you, but it was in a far less interesting city.
I have a very rambunctious 2 year old now, and I do have to say that we would have outgrown the old place - but then, I also work from home. One of those (child or work) would have to give. (Somedays it feels like they're both slipping out of my grasp.)
Sleeping arrangements are verrrry contentious - that's about my only warning.
And send your laundry out, of course, but you probably already do that.
Don't you have a second place out of town as well? (the one you were painting yellow.) That will make things easier.
Anyway, I'm now in 800 square feet with my second baby due Sept. 12. Still no washing machine, but I now have the hookups, so soon, my pretties, soon.
Looking forward to seeing what you manage to do! Should give me lots to think about!
btw, you can't get away from the baby crying unless you live in a very large house. That noise penetrates. Get outside, is my advice - with the baby. It often calms them down. For that, all you need is a good walkable neighbourhood.
Congratulations. Bugger the renovation - do we get to pick the name? Why are there so many Savannahs but no Paddocks; Apples but no Oranges; Parises but no Bundenoons?
Really folks, I doubt they are planning to stay there until it graduates from college.
If you got out more & met a few babies (not babes), you'd know they aren't self-propelled for about the first 10 months. And the amount of stuff reflects adult perceptions, not infant need.
So SKGR & Max can renovate, which will test their relationship & prepare them for parenthood (so many tradesmen have the emotional range of an infant), and think about moving only if the kid can't carry its own stroller up the stairs.
congrats and please take tons of care and vitamins.
I am a mother and and a design consultant. i run an online store www.notjustbeautiful.com. concern for children and beautiful homes is my passion.
i have tons of stuff that looks groovy and that does not tire your eyes after a while at my online store. great eco-friendly toys for kids too. have a look and see if you like some of the stuff we have. i would love to be a part of a start-up family home!
thank you
Congratulations! I think it's amazing that the two of you managed to live so happily in 250 sq. feet, so I'm sure if anyone can make it in that space with a baby, you guys can. I also agree with Christine in DC that the number of things we buy babies now is sort of mind-boggling, and second Deb in Oz's suggestion that we name the infant via a voting contest. ;)
Excited to see the renovation blog since I will beginning one about the time you will be finishing.
You'll do great. I had a very sweet couple living next door and they didn't move from their equally large/small apartment until their boy was four years old and he was about to have a little sister. He was always happy and laughing, so I think it's more about the parents than the square feet involved. I, too, think you will move one day, but it's no hurry.
your place looks great! i love the bed on the floor--so cozy. but won't mama have trouble getting out of that bed when she's 8 months along?
WooHoo!!!!!! Congrats SK & Maxwell!!!!!
good luck! (w/ the baby... and the renovation- looks great! ;-)
Congratulations! I look forward to reading about your progress with the apartment, I'm sure your space solutions will be inspiring!
I think it's great that you are sharing this renovation with us. Thanks.
That is fantastic news! I am due Sep. 25th. I have decided to turn my dining alcove into an extra bedroom for the baby. I am even using the contractor that was recommended on your site, Mario Lopez, to build some walls and a few other renovations. Even though we have a 950 sq.ft apt., there still doesn't seem to be enough room to comfortably accomodate us. It doesn't help that my fiancee got this atrocious new 42" tv to boot.
Congratulations you guys!
Hey, you guys have the same apartment we do, except ours tilts.
We're also renovating over the next few months, only not for the same reason.
Congratulations on soon to be three! I love the concept of storage as the Shakers do -- hang as much as possible up off the wall using strips of wood with multiple posts. Love the simplicity and think it's quite attractive when colorful items are hung in that fashion. Getting as much as possible off the floor will make a big difference and allow baby plenty of space for crawling.
I love the photo of the kitchen! I've been very curious about how a food writer operates in so small a space.
What wonderful news. Make sure mom to be is out if they use noxious solvents or glues she might inhale and pass on to the baby.
jhdincal, I mentioned that before too. Here's one of a gazillion articles out there:
"Wherever a baby or mom-to-be will breathe, the emission of chemicals can be harmful.
So when is the best time to apply fresh paint or install new carpet or furniture? Ideally it is before you even start a family. If this is not possible, it is important to take precautions. A pregnant mom should not paint or be involved with any designing project that will potentially expose her to toxins."
The 9 Month Cure should have started long before pregnancy. ;) And before conception. And before that. Although, I don't think anyone listens to that stuff, because kids are being born all over the place and seem to be okay. My mom smoked and had an occasional drink when she was pregnant with me, and other than the extra ears and the third eye, I seem to be fine.
It's not just opening the windows in the afternoon either, they suggest airing out the home for SEVERAL DAYS TO A FEW WEEKS. Oh yes. It's true.
It took me awhile to figure out that SKGR didn't have to do with Skater Girl, some mysterious girl who was crazy into skateboarding.
And I'll never understand hyphenating names. It's a paternal culture. They're both men's names. Ryan was Maxwell's father's last name, and his grandfather's name, and so on. If Gillingham was Sara Kate's maiden name, it was her father's name, and his father's name, and so on. Even her mother's maiden name is her mother's father's name. Women have no last name of their own.
Best thing I ever saw was a couple who chose some melodic last name for themselves. As a new entity. Their name was something along the lines of "Summer Rainshower". Something that happened on their wedding day. Very cool.
Sort of like the names here, the English meanings, not the actual Native names:
And don't be picking out a cool Native name, it offends:
It took me forever to find this article but here is a couple that also started to raise a child in about 250sqft:
Wende, when you talk about separation anxiety, are you talking about sleep training your baby (after the stage where they need to be fed during the night) by letting them cry and resisting that irresistable urge to pick them up to comfort them? Because I do see an issue there in such tight quarters if you don't do the sleep training when they are babies because when they are toddlers they will simply climb out of their bed/crib and wake you up at all hours. At that point it is basically a lost cause.
Which leads me to the biggest issue I see here and that is the parents' sanity. The small space is less of an issue for a baby than it is for the parents. You absolutely need you own space sometimes and even the best parent in the world can be driven crazy in such small quarters. MGR's and SKGR's other home will certainly help here.
I remembered this thread from the park slope forum on brooklynian where ppl were ragging on the entitled park slope parents saying things like, if they were a parent they would never let their kids scream their heads off in a restaraunt or they would never impose on anyone else by taking their kid to a restaraunt, they would carry all their kids in slings because they hated strollers etc. Well, citizen jane summed up the unpredictability of children (despite your best intentions) pretty succintly here:
After all that, I do wish you all the best again guys and if anyone can do it, it's you two!
Oh and don't move to Park Slope ;p
The first night I walked into my partner's 250 square foot apartment (downtown NYC), I thought, how can anyone live in such a small space. The place was packed with tables, shelves, stools, chairs, a queen sized bed, dressers, books, LPs (too many things to list here) and a fish tank. After several visits to the place I began to notice the "bones" of the apartment. It had been built over 100 years ago, had 9.5 foot ceilings, great molding, and received nice morning light from the east. I decided to move in.
After spending a few weeks in the space I helped my partner purge 80% of the contents. To my surprise I had to stop him from purging everything. He felt such relief once the process of "letting go" started.
Next was my plan to create a comfortable living space. I started with the purchase of a Murphy Bed. By taking the bed out of the "Living Room" this freed up the room to be, well, a living room. The Kitchen I have to admit was the biggest challenge. I had to figure out how to place a refrigerator, stove, sink and cabinets in a space no larger than the trunk of a small car. After lots of planning and heating words the kitchen was completed. Thick white "statuary" marble countertops and backsplash, a round sink, gas cooktop burners and an under-the-counter refrigerator/freezer. I treated the apartment like a small theater. The living room and kitchen were to be the main stage. I then created a "behind the scenes" area. This is where all the mechanics of the apartment either happened or were kept. Constructed a large closet along 1/3 of a wall and installing floor-to-ceiling doors, this became the "behind the scenes" area. It contains a large wardrobe, a Murphy bed and a utility closet. When all the doors are closed it gives the sense of a clean long empty wall. So, when one enters the apartment all you see is a kitchen, dining room and a large living room. I'm not sure where or how I got this idea but it works really well. If you'd like I can email a photo.
This renovation happened about 10 years ago and the place still looks and feels great. Recently I purchased a 750 square foot apartment in the village. I had the place gutted and applied some of the lessons l learned from the 250 square foot renovation. The new apartment is fantastic, but I have to admit I prefer the smaller one. There's something about the functionality and efficiency that makes the smaller apartment feel more intimate and precious.
Enjoy your renovation. Let me know if you need any help, I'd enjoy the challenge.
Jamie Pup, that thread about PS parents cracked me up. I am a parent and we don't live in PS but nearby and I do have to say that PS parents are a breed apart of any other parent in the city.
However, I am sure that Maxwell and Sara Kate will not be taking up the sidewalk with a huge stroller! Knowing Maxwell he will invent an inspector gadget type stroller that folds up into an envelope size and unfolds into a deluxe full sized crib!
My parents (each of them) grew up in a very crowded (yes, there are more out there than NYC!!) Asian metropolis with more than 4 siblings each in a studio. They all lived there until each of them went to college (and even then, my parents didn't get out until they got married and went to the States. Their other siblings left when they got married.
Space is all about perception. Peace of mind is not when the world around you is empty, calm, and at peace, but when even in the midst of chaos and noise you can feel peace.
That is something for all of us to strive towards.
Congratulations, Maxwell and Sarah Kate. I am sure your love for this child will be overflowing in any space...
Ooh, how exciting! I don't know which I'm more looking forward to...the new babe or the renovation!
Congratulations, you two!!
Jamie Pup, yes, I think sleep training is what I'm talking about. If I remember correctly -- and all my info here is second-hand or book-learning -- sleep training was a Dr. Spock invention of the Post WWII years, and there's now some questioning of whether it's necessary or healthy.
From embarrassing family stories, I'm fairly sure that my parents did not do sleep training with me and that I accepted the own-bed, own-room deal very, very readily because I'd had so much parental attention that I wanted to be alone!
So much depends on the specific baby...
What about space occupancy limits? I think babies under a year old aren't considered a "person" yet, so that gives them a year after the baby is born to find another place.
There's a ton of discussion on residential zoning laws, that it's unfair to the poor (who can't afford anything without going in on a place with a dozen other people). And is prejudiced against cultures that prefer large familial units, wherein the grandparents, parents, and children stay together. Or extended families of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.
Oh, sure, it was fine when everyone lived together in "Dynasty" at the Carrington mansion. But stuff all those people into a two-bedroom in some areas and it becomes illegal.
Single family homes, neighbors complain about the increased foot and vehicle traffic, that the home isn't "meant" to house that many people.
Apartments, especially with limited or out-dated utilities cannot really HANDLE large numbers of people. Even if people are comfortable living 15 to a 250 sq ft apartment, the plumbing can't handle it. The water can't handle it. And the residents may be paying a portion of utilities that is not fairly distributed by usage, such as the RUBS system or set fees.
That means every other dweller that lives one to an apartment is paying MORE for someone else's usage. Not fair. There's no incentive for the multiple person family to conserve if everyone else is picking up the tab.
In some areas, two people would be too many people in a 250 sq ft space. Uh, like it might say "take the number of square feet and divide by 200 and round to the nearest whole number to get the legal number of occupants per space in multiple family housing with more than three units." Doesn't take a math whiz to figure out that number would be ONE. That's a real example, but I don't remember where I was to see it.
From a financial standpoint, I say cram all the people who can live together happily into one space. From a downstairs neighbor standpoint, ONE person who stomps around is too many people. ;)
Wende - I think you are a little confused about sleep training. Yes some children develop good sleep habits on their own, but sleeping well (called good sleep "hygiene") is a skill that is usually taught/enforced by the parents. Since sleep training went out of fashion children up to teenagers are sleep deprived as demonstrated by many studies (I'll be happy to provide links if you want). Advocates of sleep training (and I am one of them, having practiced it with my son who started sleeping straight through the night at 3 months) feel that parents who co sleep and who keep their kids up late/take their kids to all activities so naps and bedtimes aren't consistent/etc. are not doing their kids any favors.
That's what concerns me about this arrangement, I don't see an opportunity for consistent, peaceful, quiet sleep for the baby, especially at night.
OK, between this and all the nonsense that went on the Baby Ayden nursery thread, could we all just please agree that there is more than one correct way to raise a child?
hey blues, I'm surprised at that post.
I don't see anything controversal that has been posted yet. Are you trying to stop something from happening before it starts? I did not read the other thread so maybe that one escalated into some kind of flame war.
Nah, no flame war, just the usual tiresome, "she sent this in, so she must have expected me to say it sucks." I'm just a little weary of the other thread, I guess, which overinterpreted decorating style as evidence of repressive parenting. Sorry to drag it over here.
And I'm well aware that people get flak for raising their kids in tiny spaces. Not from everyone, for sure - hey, this thread is mostly congratulatory. Guess I was just feeling a bit sensitive about the idea that the coming baby will have nowhere healthy to sleep.
Oh *that* thread. I knew that was going to get all the rude ppl out of the woodwork but I've noticed a certain mischeviousnous about Maxwell and his decision to post such pics. The Camelot one comes to mind.
Thanks for the explanation.
And Matilda, I wouldn't mind seeing those links please.
There was an article in the New York Observer about the fetishizing of childhood by the happily childless Simon Doonan that should be interesting to this crowd.
As I've been told, my grandfather spent his Arkansas childhood in a "shack"- seven children in all, dirt floors, no interior plumbing (outhouse, and a hand-pump in the front yard), no electricity, and a wood burning stove for heat and cooking.
It can be done with less.
More power to you.
The kitchen will be AWESOME! Can't wait to see the final product! (And which rocker you get!).
As for having children in a 250 ft2 apartment, my cousin lived with her husband and son in a small studio apartment (in Europe) for many years; it can definately be done. You will prove that it can be done elegantly at that!
And I wouldn't stress about sleep -- our daughter slept through the night (i.e., 8 hours) by 4 WEEKS. We didn't co-sleep or sleep train; her sleep patterns developed naturally, and have turned out just fine (btw: when she was a babe, her bassinet was in our room at night, and she slept soundly). Each baby is different of course (I am sure our 2nd, due Nov 1st, will not share the same sleep habits as the first!), and will need something different from their parents.
This is pretty amazing.
But, frankly, I wonder why would anybody bother putting this much energy and effort into creating a untenable situation? Two kids in such a small place? I predict movers within a year.
Yes, the apartment is well-edited, but it still feels claustrophobic. The bed is rammed into the bedroom and surrounded by the storage drawers, it's almost like sleeping in a tent. Perhaps the garden helps matters during the nice weather, but I would surely get cabin fever in winter.

Turning 50? Time for a retirement tuneup
With retirement now in sight, it's time to revisit those plans you devised two decades earlier to see if they still fit the reality. Here are 7 steps to take to tune up your retirement plans.
This post comes from Elizabeth O'Brien at partner site MarketWatch.
Fifty may be the new 30 when it comes to how you feel -- and if you're Madonna, how you look -- at midlife. But those ages are worlds apart when it comes to planning for retirement. By 50, the end of full-time work has come into view, however distant, on the horizon.
This makes the half-century mark a great time to take stock -- and, if you haven't done it already, to evaluate whether you're on track to enjoy financial and physical well-being when you retire. At 50, experts say, there's still time to play catch up and make adjustments if needed to protect your health and wealth for the next phase. "If you start at 50, it's possible everyone can get what they want, but if you start at 64, there's less flexibility," said Suzanna de Baca, vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial.
A good place to begin, de Baca said, is by imagining your perfect retirement. It helps to get some sense of the big-picture goal before assessing what obstacles might lay in its path. And life partners should compare notes. It's better to discover sooner rather than later that one person's idea of retirement bliss is a house overlooking the seventh tee, while the other dreams of an apartment in the city.
To be sure, folks at 50 have many other demands on their time and money: college tuition or wedding payments for their kids, support for aging parents, and serious work obligations. Yet you should fight the impulse, however understandable, to put retirement on the back burner. "It might not be opportune," said Rand Spero, a fee-only financial planner in Lexington, Mass. "But it actually is the most critical time."
Here's a checklist to help 50-year-olds stay on track for a retirement that's healthy in every sense of the word:
1. Get your paperwork in order
If you don't have a health care or financial power of attorney, now is the time to put them in place. The former names a person, known as an "agent," to make health-care decisions on your behalf if you become too sick or mentally impaired to do so.
Similarly, the latter names an agent to handle your financial affairs if you're no longer able to do so. It's important to establish these before a crisis strikes. Review beneficiary designations on your life insurance policies and investment accounts, and make sure your will is up to date.
2. Get screened
An investment in good health will pay dividends throughout your life. Experts estimate that one-third to one-half of a person's longevity can be attributed to genetics, but healthy eating and exercise really can improve your quality of life in the remainder that you can control. Talk to your doctor about which medical screenings make sense for you. And it's never too late to start exercising and eating more healthily. Studies suggest that you can reap benefits from even moderate exercise, such as vigorous walking.
3. Protect yourself
Slightly more than 25% of today's 20-year-olds will incur a long-term disability -- one that renders them unable to work for a year or more -- before reaching age 67, according to the Social Security Administration. But 69% of the private-sector workforce has no long-term disability insurance. What's more, the group long-term disability plans that people get through their jobs typically cover just 60% of their salaries in the event of a disability. At that level, most disabled people won't be able to meet day-to-day expenses, much less contribute to their retirement savings accounts, de Baca said.
To make up for the shortfall, or to obtain coverage in the first place if work offers none, many people would benefit from buying an individual disability policy, she said.
Fifty is also a good age to start thinking about how you might pay for long-term care, which Medicare doesn't cover. Long-term care insurance has become expensive and harder to obtain, but it's still worth a look for healthy people in their 50s, some advisers say. Others advocate life insurance policies with a long-term care rider. Those without children in particular might also think about developing their social support networks, experts say; such networks can often help older people stay at home for longer, among other benefits.
4. Create a retirement budget
Without a budget you have no way of knowing whether your savings will come up short after stopping work. Instead of starting with an arbitrary dollar goal, like $1 million, figure out how much you'll need to live each month and project out from there, experts advise. A financial planner can help by stress-testing your projected nest egg under different market conditions and life spans. Make a plan to eliminate credit card debt and consider paying off your mortgage before you stop work.
Be sure to build in a cushion for unexpected expenses: a recent Ameriprise Financial survey found unforeseen losses and expenses such as a market decline or the need to support a grown child cost Americans an average of $117,000 in retirement savings.
5. Reassess your portfolio
Check to see that your current asset allocation is appropriate for your goals. The old rule of subtracting your age from 100 to calculate your portfolio's stock allocation is a thing of the past, advisers say. Unfortunately, there's no easy formula that has replaced it. It's important not to be too conservative in your 50s, since you'll need portfolio growth to fund a retirement that could stretch for three decades. Today, many investing pros are expressing concern about bonds, whose yields have been rising and prices falling.
If you're invested in target-date funds, all-in-one mutual funds that rebalance your portfolio as you get closer to retirement, Bob Pozen, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, recommends taking another look at them to make sure you're comfortable with the asset mix.
6. Reassess your career
Can you envision staying at your current job for the next 15-plus years? If not, it might be time to make a change. Spero recently coached a client in his early 50s through a career shift. The man had worked as a senior sales manager, a high-powered, high-stress job. While he was successful, the client didn't see himself sustaining that pace into his late 60s. Yet he couldn't afford to retire early. So he shifted over to a curriculum development job, where he writes sales training materials and conducts trainings. His total compensation isn't quite as high as before, but it's more stable because it isn't commission-based, Spero said, and the man can envision working at his new, less frenetic pace until retirement.
7. Play catch-up
The IRS allows people 50 and over to make "catch-up contributions" to their tax-advantaged savings accounts. Those maximum amounts for 2013 are $5,500 for 401k's (on top of the maximum of $17,500 for those under 50) and $1,000 for IRAs above the under-50 limit of $5,500.
More from MarketWatch:
I would also advise paying off the mortgage ASAP if you have one.
Disability plan. However, one thing that this article doesn't discuss is
that LTD policies that people obtain through their employer or union, are
regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) which can
drastically reduce one's ability to enforce the terms of your insurance
policy if your insurer denies your claim. When considering an LTD policy,
the private plans may be a little more expensive but grant a wider array
of tools to help ensure that you get your benefits.

It is through the activity of walking and collecting of found substances and materials that a personal journal or archive becomes embedded in my painting. Raw pigments such as coloured ochres and green earths, plant materials and natural inks act as a starting point for the work. Layers are formed from a continual application and removal of washes of colour. The surface of the work may become heavily incised where I have drawn into the paint, acting intuitively to remembered responses and experiences of time spent in a place. I am inspired by an interest in natural history and the work of both the biologist and the landscape historian, my work engages with the formation of the landscape and the organic materials within it, deriving from a daily connection to the countryside.

I think it's a good thing it shows were fighting and not giving up even though we've got alot of inexperienced players

It's a good thing CC. The losses can be attributed directly to lack of depth, and as Blaser mentions, inexperience. Neither factor will be as influential next season as we move forward and continue to build. Lack of depth, I believe, is also behind this team "picking it's spots"...beating quality teams and dropping games to inferior opponents. These guys are gassed. Develop your youth Stotts.

at this point in the season though it shouldn't be about winning games but more about focusing on developing our future assets give our rookies more run time out there to develop cause the playoff picture is closing quick right about now

we deff have a more talented starting line up then them but we lack in alot of areas when it comes down to our bench and i think at this point stotts should really stop overplaying our starting line up and worrying about his coaching record and start reverting back to our original plan that we had set for this season it seems like a trending thing to play 2-3 players off the bench as of late

i agree blaser, leonard and barton have been playing, claver is injured... hoep comes back soon...
the only one i think need more playing time to develop is Freeland.

I agree freelands defensive upside is too much to give up on @ this point

his defense looked great in the olympics he's just getting garbage minutes to no minutes a game and yea barton needs some time down in the d leagues I think fans got a little too excited over the off season after an exhibition game where he dropped what 70 or so points but there was also no defense played in it too lol

it may look simple to look at those stats... Some players looked tired last night and both Aldridge and Mathews didnt shoot well enough to keep it a close game... and we also did a lot of turnovers...
but neither JJ or Aldridge were able to defend Ibaka... i would have tried Freeland. That´s the kind of situation were we needed a defensive minded BIG...
ps: i hope claver come back soon, we need him off the bench...

Here is why you lose close games one JJ is a terrible help defender and LA is not much better. Which is why we give up the most points in the paint in the league.
The team has very poor rebounding fundamentals as they routinely fail to box out an allow numerous second chance baskets.
We do not get to the foul line. We are 24th in FTA that won't get it done.
We not a great 3 pt shooting team, we attempt the 4th most in the league and yet we are in a 4 way tie for 16-20th in 3pt %. Settling for a 35% shot versus a near 50% by going inside will lead to a lot of losses.

^ that mixed with no defense all them close games we had early in the season weren't because of fatigue they were because we barley make stops in late game situations and most times have to rely on giving up a 2 and hoping to god we can knock the three down and outscoring em that way when it counts

First Game starts tonight. Houston is a tough first round opponent and they play exceptionally well at home. If we can steal a game or two at their place, I feel like we have extremely good chances.
P.S. Would anybody happen to have a...

The Blazers were winning!  That is the key word, were.  Blazers are living proof that you can live and die by the jumper.  Lately it has been dying.
Thank God they are 19 games over 500.  Mayb...

Hawes will be a hot commodity by the trade deadline, I would think the sixers could find a better offer.
However, I do believe Mo Williams could have somewhat of  a high trade value. Olshey needs to make a deal to get a big man while we...
