A word from Beacon Bar and Grill
Designer Walter Gagliano's second visioning of BBG introduced a fresh, romantic feel to BBG. Vermeer's portrait of "Girl with a Pearl Earring" was the muse in creating a new look. "Our original goal was to bring the space to a cleaner more contemporary vibe. When we discovered the over scaled Vermeer print, originally created by Philipe Stark, our fondness for bold romanticism found expression and led our fabric and lighting choices in a different direction" stated Gagliano.Continued

- The Restaurant KingRestaurantKingDined on 11/16/2014As a regular on the Sunday brunch scene in DC, I have found a gem in the Beacon Bar and Grill! Once again, BBG delivered good food, great seating and outstanding service as provided by Edgar and Olga under the impeccable leadership of Kamran. And don't forget to try a made-to-order omelette from the best omelette chefs in the city! Thanks to all!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchBrandonDined on 11/16/2014The food and mimosa combination was amazing! I will be back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, good servicealexDined on 11/15/2014I didn't realize that this is actually the restaurant for a hotel, but the food was pretty good. Its close to Dupont circle, and it seemed to be quiet but popular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Restaurant KingRestaurantKingDined on 11/9/2014Service from Kamran and Rushard was spectacular -- thanks for the great seating!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love to eatLovetoeatDined on 11/9/2014The buffet has an excellent variety of choices. I have been to the restaurant 3x and have never been disappointed. The mimosa are made well and are delicious. I will definitely go back. The atmosphere is just right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Somthing For EveryonejshoopVIPDined on 11/8/2014While the menu is not extensive there is a great variety. From wonderful fish tacos to succulent wild boar sausage, there was something that appealed to everyone's tastes. The service was very attentive. A quiet place where the 6 of us could comfortably talk over dinner. With 1/2 bottles of wine when we dined, we took advantage of the fine wine list!Special Features:
- Very disappointed!TotallyDisappointedDined on 11/2/2014Made a reservation for brunch only to get there and be told the bar would not be replenished anymore. Whatever was out was all there would be. I was offered an opportunity to go have a look but I chose not to stay and to dine elsewhere. It was a huge inconvenience and I will not chose this place again.
- Buffet Boss!!!Liv2eatDined on 11/2/2014Everyone in my group was a little leary when I stated it was a buffet. However that quickly changed when they arrived. Thr ambiance, the mixing bowl of people and menagerie of food options even made the one vegetarian feel at home. I quickly gained cool points and praises from them all!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunch!TanyaDined on 11/2/2014Great price for bottomless brunch! Good selection of food, and the omelette station was delicious. The server refilled our mimosas at almost every sip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Parking or Eating, You Choose...HallypooDined on 11/2/2014In 2009 I stumbled upon The Beacon Bar and Grill. The food was good and I scored an awesome parking space. Parking this trip almost made me walk away from the reservation. 40 minutes to find parking on a very cold Sunday, with a toddler. After a space opened at the hotel garage, we finally made it in. The food was enjoyable. Everyone enjoys a custom made omelet. Some of the salads were a little strange, but worth a try. It would be lovely if they started serving turkey or chicken sausage so that patrons had options. Despite the parking, I would definitely recommend the restaurant for brunch. I suggest calling the hotel and arriving early to find parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Brunch, Inexperience ServersStegelDined on 10/26/2014Took my folks (visiting from CT) here for brunch a couple weeks ago. When we first walked in, there were multiple staff members crowded in the entry way just milling around. After being seated we were immediately given a rundown of the drink options and sent to the buffet. The service throughout the meal was spotty at times, which is surprising considering there was constantly multiple waiters standing at the reception desk. Besides that, we all really enjoyed the food options. All the different seasonal salads were spot on and I loved the hot buffet. One ask, have cheese! I love cheese!Special Features:
- OkGoodDined on 10/25/2014The food and service were ok. A good option for a casual dining experience. I had ordered the pumkin and guacamole tortilla soup. Could not taste or see a trace of pumkin. One of my guests asked for onion relish to be left off. The dish came smothered in onions on top. Just some minor tweeting would go a long waySpecial Features:
- Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 10/17/2014The service was perfect, excellent food, quiet and calm ambience.Special Features:
- Quick bite before NatGeo showDisappointedDined on 10/8/2014We stopped in for a quick bit before a Nat Geo show on a Wednesday night. Escorted through the louder bar area to the much quieter restaurant. Great appetizer menu--went with three items instead of entrees. All were timely and delicious; naan bread was the best. Specialty drinks were a little pricy, but it's downtown DC. Looking forward to going back for Saturday or Sunday brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/5/2014Really nice seating outdoors for Sunday brunch. Food was good, alright selection. Drinks were not strong. Good if you are in a group.Special Features:
- It's okOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014the food was just ok...nothing spectacular. its a great place for a group bc there is a wide variety of choices, so everyone will be able to find something that they would want to eat.Special Features:
- Nice selection, great price.HappyWife18Dined on 9/21/2014This was our first time at Beacon, celebrating our anniversary. A wide variety of foods to choose from, assorted cold salads, pastas, meats, omelets made to order and waffles and chicken. I especially like the fact the waffles were small as opposed to one big one. Unlimited champagne, mimosas or bloody marys, decent coffee. They also had a DJ which was an unexpected surprise, the music was a nice, not too loud or offensive in its selection. The also offered a nice selection of desserts. We set downstairs which is easily accessible to the buffet but it was such a nice day, we would have preferred to sit upstairs with windows.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- S'ok, but FF is betterOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014I was really happy to be able to even get a table during a busy hour during Sunday brunch. That's about the extent of my happiness with this dining experience, though. The food was decent, but not excellent. Bottomless mimosas are nice...if you aren't on-call and need to act fast in an emergency. The service was decent, but nothing to write home about. While I was pleased with the availability of a table, I think I would have been happier just waiting a couple hours for a Founding Farmers table instead.Special Features:
- DisappointednoneDined on 9/21/2014Hello, I have eaten at Beacon Bar and Grill several times, with great satisfaction; however, this time I was disappointed. The various salads were very dry and the bacon did not have a crunch, but instead, were very hard to chew. I will eat there again and if it hasn't improved, I will not eat there again.Special Features:
- Amazing brunchPerfectDined on 9/14/2014This was the best brunch I have ever had and I will most certainly be coming again the next time I am in DC. The bottomless mimosas truly ARE bottomless. Amazing food, service, and ambiance. I would love to bring my mom here for Mother's Day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what it used to beManyaDined on 9/7/2014The food has gone way downhill from when I was last there. About two years ago. The champagne and vodka are beyond cheap brands and the crowd leaves something to be desired. The only plus was good fresh waffles and a lovely server. Otherwise, totally disappointing.
- Mediocre foodFoodloverDined on 8/30/2014The food was not of great quality. I was not amazing by the options available. The fruit was over ripe and potatoes were cold. Not impressed
- FABULOUS BRUNCH SPOT!FABULOUSDined on 8/24/2014We have come here with a group of about 12 for two years now to celebrate one person's birthday, it has been REMARKABLE each time, she does not want to go ANYWHERE ELSE! LOL!Special Features:
- Wonderful Sunday Bruch!OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/24/2014This was my second time having brunch at the Beacon and once again it did not disappoint. The Beacon has become one of my favorite brunch spots. As always, the various selections were amazing! The wide range of options will definitely have you leaving satisfied and full. I'd highly recommend it and will definitely be returning. You just can't miss out on this delicious treat!Special Features:

- disappointedLove2WineNDineVIPDined on 8/15/2014The food was tasty but the service was disappointing. I was hoping for a memorable dinner and was let down. The inexperienced young manager did not handle our small situation well which now turned it into a bad one.
- Excellent Food & AmbienceKittyVIPDined on 8/14/2014I can't understand why it's not busy here but it's excellent and should not be overlooked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/10/2014I had friends visiting from Atlanta and they were blown away with the quality of the food and the service. We had a great time at brunch on Sunday. And our waitress never let me see the bottom of my glass of mimosa. The buffet was great and I will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/3/2014This was my second time having brunch at the Beacon, and it maintained the same great dining experience. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the service is top notch. The endless memosas is a great touch ( drink responsibly), this will be a destination restaurant for future events/family gatherings. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- great findOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/3/2014food is great; good service! would definitely go backSpecial Features:
- The following 1235 reviews are from the Beacon Bar and Grill reviews archive.
- Open Table GemmeyockslvDined on 7/28/2014The food was outstanding, service good but nothing to write home about (it was Monday evening). Quiet and fairly upscale with reasonable prices. Will go back and as a frequent traveler that doesn't get much plan.Special Features:
- Brunch was greatkatshanhillDined on 7/27/2014Recently made it for brunch food, mimosa, service was excellent. Will return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second Time around is a Charm!Sip1Dined on 7/26/2014Went to brunch a second time here with a significant other, last time it was in a group and it was just as good as the first time. Only think is they did not have the Bellini's and that was a bit disappointing.Special Features:
- Good brunch but pricey7hom7homVIPDined on 7/26/2014The brunch buffet was vast and diverse and way above average for buffet fare. And fresh omelets were made to order. And the lemon bar dessert was a treat. However, the over $30 and no menu options was overly steep. . Especially for those who went without the mimosas or marys.
- TammyDined on 7/20/2014This was my first time and will definitely not be my last. Service was excellent, food was hot and fresh. All items were restocked as soon as they were running low, all staff was helpful and made sure we enjoyed our meal. The price and the quality of service and food are impeccable.Special Features:
- Great place for brunchLubyVIPDined on 7/20/2014Great food, service and ambiance. I've always loved their brunch. I would strongly recommend others to go there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/19/2014Its in the Beacon Hotel. Not a very nice space, sort of run down and drab. Food was inconsistent. Some dishes were good. My fish taco was just fair. Lots of other options nearby that look more inviting.

Cohasset Cottage Rental Photos and Description
Family built and owned since 1936, Shady Shore provides simple, rejuvenating vacations for people looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The property's 35 acres of lakeside property were originally homesteaded by Swedish-immigrant, Gust Hedquist, in 1892 and still don the impressive White Pines integral to the area's historic logging industry.
Maintaining some of that old-world feel, our lakeside cabin is supplied with all the amenities necessary for a relaxing vacation and offer aesthetic touches unique to the resort's history and location. The historic cabin can accommodate couples and larger family gatherings alike.
Located in the heart of lake country and conveniently situated alongside fishing legend, Moose Lake, of Deer River, MN our family property maintains a great reputation in a long history of northern Minnesota fishing destinations. Only 2 miles from Chippewa National Forest and another 19 miles from the bubbling resort-town of Grand Rapids, MN, Shady Shore also serves as a great home base for those longing to explore northern Minnesota's area attractions. With golf courses, museums, logging camps, iron ore mines, movie theaters, and shopping centers only minutes away even rainy days on our family property prove to be a great time!
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- pets considered
- smoking allowed
About Kiara Jorgenson
Linda (Hedquist) Jorgenson grew up on this property, which was homesteaded by her Grandfather Gust Hedquist in 1892. Linda's Father, Karl, hand built each cabin in the 30's, 40's and 50's and ran the Resort as a family vacation destination until 1976.
At that time Linda and her late husband, Jim Jorgenson, purchased the land and began to remodel. Now Linda's two sons, along with their families, have taken steps to further modernize the grounds and the buildings, all the while maintaining the original vision and Swedish flavor of Shady Shore.
Kiara Jorgenson purchased this cottage in 1936
Why Kiara Jorgenson chose Cohasset
Shady Shore is one of the only remaining historic, family-founded and family-run properties in MN. Our vacation spot is unique due to it's heritage, warm charm, and the outstanding service our family provides. Guests who return year after year enjoy participating in this living legacy.
Our property is accommodating for parties of varied size. Even large group events (reunion, small weddings, etc.) work well at Shady Shore, given our private space and property flexibility.
What makes this cottage unique
Our cabin is made with timbers logged from the homestead property. The original touches remain: hardwood floors, red Swedish roofs, french-pane windows, and Hedquist family antiques displayed along cabin walls.
Our sandy shoreline is among the best in the area. Sandy and completely weed-free for over 100 feet, the shallow waters are perfect for young children and water sports. We have three docks on the property, making accessibility to boating, paddle boating, kayaking and canoeing very easy.
Our cabin is 15 feet from the water, with little incline to the shore. Guests, young and old, have an easy time enjoying our property.

Beautiful Ring
By Shay D
from Calgary
I have never seen an Emerald Matrix before so I fell in love with the uniqueness of the stone and the design. I found it even more lovely when it arrived. It is big and sturdy and It attracts lots of attention. Thanks for the lovely designs of this jewellery line. I have a number of lovely items already and intend on getting more.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

nice design
By N.V.
from Toronto,Ontario
I take back my former review. The color of the emerald matrix is not so attractive but the design is really nice. I would have liked to keep this ring were it not for the prongs. The picture presented in the web is good but what I got is different. Some parts of the prongs of my ring are as thin as a fine strand of hair. To keep this ring would be like throwing away my money. So this is going back. I can only recommend some of the rings which may not have defective prongs (I assusme not all of the rings in this item have defective prongs).
beautiful design, but unsure with prongs
The design of this ring is very beautiful. The colour of the emerald matrix though is just mediocre. ( I have another huge emerald matrix ring with a beautiful colour but in plain setting, semi-bezel) Inspite of it's mediocre colour this ring still stands out because of its design. But my major concern are the decorative prongs.They seem weak. The metal is so thin, and some parts are even hair thin.I am keeping this ring because it has good and comfortable fit, a beautiful design, and a huge stone.

KNOXVILLE (WVLT) - It should come as no surprise that among the most-clicked on stories on VolunteerTV.com deal with receiving economic stimulus checks.
If you qualify, your check could range from $300 to $1,200.
Since the IRS started mailing payments last month, several people have written us wondering why they haven't received their stimulus check. According to the IRS, you don't have to worry. As long as you have filed your taxes or filed a 10-40A form, your money should be on its way.
"If people filed their tax return by April 15th then they will get their stimulus check on schedule, which is based on the last two digits of your social security numbers," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman.
If you use direct deposit and filed by April 15th, then you should have already received your stimulus payment.
If you are expecting a check in the mail it may take a little longer. By Monday, there will still be two more rounds of mailings left.
The IRS expects to mail checks out through mid-July.
If you are still concerned about your economic stimulus payment, you can click on the links below. The first link will take you to the IRS's stimulus payment schedule for tax returns processed by April 15th. The second link is to the IRS's "Where's My Stimulus Payment" tracker. By using it, you can find out when you will receive your payment if you are eligible.

AES E-Library
60 Seconds of Silence: The Critical Need for Sound System Designers and Installers to Focus on Fail-Safe Operation and Long-Term Reliability
We are moving through an era of transition from analog audio systems to those that are computer-controlled and some that are fully digital. The unresolved problem is the need of these new systems to be nearly perfect in real time. Current analog systems are reliable and fault tolerant. Yet, the glitches that are common in computer networks and digital transmission systems are unacceptable to users of large-scale audio systems, such as theme parks, performing arts centers, and stadiums where even a momentary lapse in delivery can be devastating. The authors stress that the audio industry cannot be negligent and ask users of these systems to tolerate a reduced level of reliability while we -work out the bugs,- and realize the benefits of this new technology.

ASTM A496/A496M: Standard Specification for Steel Wire, Deformed, for Concrete Reinforcement
DOD Adopted ANSI Approved Approved
This specification covers deformed steel wire which has been cold-worked by drawing, rolling, or both drawing and rolling, to be used as produced, or in fabricated form, for the reinforcement of concrete in sizes having nominal crosssectional areas not less than 6.45 mm2[0.01 in.2].
Supplement S1 describes high-strength wire, which shall be furnished when specifically ordered. It shall be permissible to furnish high-strength wire in place of regular wire if mutually agreed to by the purchaser and manufacturer.
The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. (The inch-pound units are shown in brackets except in Table 1).
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standard.

Or if you answer yes to any of these questions:

- Do you purchase many different kinds of standards?
- Do you have multiple employees accessing the same standards?

does this sound like Aspergers?

|Fri, 01-12-2007 - 11:12am
I'd love your opinions on this. I know that no one can diagnose, but I'm just wondering if any of this sounds familiar to you. I have a 3.5 year old son, Jacob. He's had some delays and some issues since he was about 18 months old. He's diagnosed with Apraxia and some sensory issues. He's currently receiving speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy through the school district. I have yet to take him to a neurologist or developmental ped. We did have him evaluated when he was about 30 months old and they felt that he was not on the spectrum, and his behaviors could be accounted for by his current diagnoses. I often wonder about AS and whether this could account for all his quirks. I'm wondering if you think it's worth pursuing (a dev. ped), or if only time will tell. In a nutshell,
- Jake is more comfortable around adults than kids his age
- he can socialize, but often prefers not to (saying things like "I want to play by myself", or "I don't like other kids")
-he had many sensory issues, but most seem to be resolved or minimized now
-he has an extremely hard time sharing, or waiting his turn (more so than others his age)
-he is very controlling and insists on things being a certain way (although what things and what way often changes)
-he'll set up his toys in specific arrangements and insist on them not being moved -so it's very difficult to play with him without annoying him or angering him when you move the toys where he doesn't want them to go
-he's easily frustrated
-his feelings are easily hurt
-he has very little empathy & rarely attempts to comfort others (doesn't even seem affected if they're upset -couldn't care less)
-tends to hoard toys and won't let others play with or look at them (even if he's not actively playing with them)
-says things not typical for his age (ex -i picked him up from preschool the other day and asked how his day was -his response was "I don't want to talk about it mom. I just want to relax" that's word for word btw)
- he has a great imagination and loves to build cities or robots or shops
-does tend to get a bit obsessive with certain things for awhile, but then it transfers to something else (loved tools for about a year and a half, now hardly plays with them much, but is into Power Rangers and rescue figures)
-more interested in things than people
-will make movements like a power ranger, and when asked if he's a power ranger will say "No, I'm a boy", and act irritated that I didnt' know that already - does this anytime I ask "are you a ...." the only acceptable word is boy
-Often talks with a very condescending attitude (odd for a three year old, huh?)
-he's very good at puzzles
-sometimes randomly flicks his fingers or shakes his head side to side
-had to be taught to point, say hi when said hi to, nod head yes or no, etc
-very awkward and "clumsy" -has a mild gross motor delay (for which he receives PT)
-does like playing with mom and dad -but he needs to direct the play
-resents his little brother, and is often aggressive with him (despite time outs, etc)
-doesn't like kisses, but will occassionally tolerate hugs. He can be snuggly at times but it's usually short lived and only on his terms
-hyperforce go, Avatar, Power rangers, etc) he's able to follow the story lines on cartoons meant for older children (Super robot monkey team hyperforce go, Avatar, Power rangers, etc)
I could go on and on. He's definately a different kind of kid and full of quirks, but I'm not sure if it's due to possible AS or just him being a quirky loner. He seems to have a more difficult time with the simple things than other kids his age, but yet he seems almost smarter than them most of the time. I guess I'm just wondering why he is the way he is, and maybe AS would explain it? What do you think? Thanks for your time.

Hi Jen,
I didn't read any of your replies yet, but I had to write my own. You PERFECTLY DESCRIBED my daughter.. it gave me the goosebumps to read your post. My daughter Kayden was dx. mild/moderately autistic at a very early 18 months of age by a neurodevelopmental pediatrician, however, I knew there was something "not right" a few weeks after she was born. we then immersed her in tons of therapy -- OT, PT, Speech, special education, special play groups -- it was our lives. Today, Kayden is 3 years old and
|Sat, 01-27-2007 - 12:23pm
Again, not to diagnose, but your 3.5 year old son sounds JUST like my 3.5 year old son who was just dx'd with AS and mild PDD/NOS last week. For us, we observed things in him starting when he was a year to 18 months (hand flapping, head shaking, staring out the sides of his eyes) that were kind oddities and red flags, and then later things like toewalking continued to stand out. He received EI for speech from 2 to 3 - during which time his speech made great strides and he now is right on target and actually has quite sophisticated speech. He also received EI for Occupational Therapy for a few months after I demanded to have him reevaluated by the state, and he did SO well with that, I could really see him do better as a result of the sensory type therapies. Unfortunately, he didn't transition because his delays weren't quite severe enough to be picked up by the school district. However, several months later when I could see that he was really suffering from not receiving the OT anymore, I had him reevaluated and there was a real decrease in his scores, and he was picked up by the district for OT again. I won't go into the saga for the other things he qualified for but wasn't granted because we have a lousy district....
Anyway - I'm not saying to go find someone who will go give you a diagnosis just for the sake of having a diagnosis. I will say, though - that now that we have a diagnosis (and an accurate one, I believe - after the year or so of reading I've done) it's something that'll go on the school record, in the IEP and it'll just help get services that our son needs. And the earlier the better. I'd say it's worth consulting a neuro and dev. ped. just to see where you stand. Some physicians don't like making a formal diagnosis this young, but in my opinion, your son sounds SO much like mine. I wouldn't trade my son for the world, he is honestly a delightful, lovely, kid - quirks and all. I know that none of us here would trade our kids for anything. But we're all here to help them, and in our case, we figured helping meant bringing him to the doctor to see where we stood.
Best wishes!

Hi Jen!
I just want to say....WOW! Your son sounds almost identical to my son. He does the exact same thing your son does. My 4 1/2 year old was finally dx with Asperger's/PDD-NOS in December of 2006. He also loves puzzles, and will put a 200 piece puzzle together with no assistance in no time!
I would be very persistent with the doctors. Have you taken him to a pediatric specialist? Is he in pre-school? What do the speech therapist, and the other providers say about him? I would most definetly take him to a neurologist or developmental pediatrician. Tell them exactly what you posted here, and hopefully you will have some answers. Good luck!!
|Sat, 01-13-2007 - 7:34pm
Now I understand better.
You may want to get him diagnosed anyway because you may be able to access more supports and have a better understanding of him earlier. Like I said, even if he isn't fully ASD, he has enough quirks to benefit from many of the same approaches.
FYI, my son was tested, evaluated and recieved treatments starting at age 3. (Prior to that I was totally in denial about everything). I was still in denial at 3 when ASD was mentioned but he had other diagnosis (ADHD, SID, etc) and some supports. He wasn't diagnosed on the spectrum until he was 7 and I kick myself now. He missed out on a lot of supports that would have been immensely beneficial to him because of that and he now continues to have a lot of struggles because of it.
In his case he recieved minimal supports at an early age and would have qualified for much more had he had a correct diagnosis.
|Sat, 01-13-2007 - 1:38pm
He's actually already receiving services. He was in EI (early intervention) from 18 months to 3 years old, and then transitioned to the school district. He's made GREAT improvements, but many of those quirks are still there. I guess, I'm just trying to understand them and account for them in someway. I was thinking that a concrete diagnosis would help give me some clarity, and as you said the school district doesn't really diagnose anything. But it seems like such a crap shoot/guessing game for the professionals as well, so I doubt it would really solve anything. We'll just keep on treating the issues that pop up and plodding along without a "name" for it. There is no easy way to describe Jake anyway! LOL. I kind of love that about him. Thanks for the input though!
|Fri, 01-12-2007 - 9:00pm
Welcome to the board. I hope you find it useful to you.
Your son sounds very like my daughter in many ways. She is 6½ now, and still not officially diagnosed. Officially she is "at risk for Asperger's Syndrome".
|Fri, 01-12-2007 - 2:57pm
It can be so hard to diagnose kids when they are young, particularly more verbal type kids.
That said, your son does have alot in common with AS kids and it is worth looking into. AND even if he is not determined to be fully on the spectrum it sure sounds like he would benefit from the therapies and treatments that are used for spectrum kids which is the point of diagnostics at a young age anyway.
So yeah, I would go again and see a developmental ped or similar. Make sure to try and find someone who specializes in ASD's so they will more likely be able to identify and meet the needs of a child who may be more mildly affected. Not that it is mild, just that it is not as obvious at a younger age so it takes a really trained professional to pick it out.
And I would start looking into the treatments that would help your son and start pushing for those now while he is still young. Figure out what you can implement at home and what services you are going to need for him to get.

Computing and Engineering Majors More Likely to Work in STEM
The majority of STEM bachelor's degree holders--about 75 percent--don't work in STEM fields, according to the Census Bureau. However, those who studied engineering, computing, math or statistics were more likely to be employed in STEM, while physical and social science majors were less likely to go into the STEM workforce.
These findings indicate that the skills imparted by STEM education programs have a broad appeal. It is not clear from this data if students with STEM education not working in STEM fields are earning wages commensurate to the high wages typically associated with STEM jobs.
In addition, this analysis found that men continue to be overrepresented in STEM fields, particularly engineering. Approximately 14 percent of engineers and 26 percent of computer professionals were women. Higher percentages of women were found among mathematicians and statisticians (45 percent), life scientists (47 percent) and social scientists (63 percent).

Oracle's case against Google in pictures
Summary: A selection of slides from Oracle's 91-page presentation to court, designed to push its claim that Google needs to pay it billions of dollars for using Java technology in Android
1 of 9Image
Oracle-Google suit: What Google said before the lawsuit
Oracle's suit against Google over unauthorised use of Java code in Android has finally reached court, in a trial that could ultimately determine whether programming languages can be copyrighted.
The dispute centres on whether Google's mobile OS infringes on copyright and patents related to Java, which Oracle picked up in its purchase of Sun. In particular, it will hinge on whether a licence is needed for the use of the programming language in the software development kit for the Android software stack and on Android's use of the Dalvik virtual machine, which supports Java-scripted apps.
On Tuesday, Oracle delivered a 91-page slide presentation outlining its main arguments as the case got under way. This is a selection of the slides, which cover emails and quotes from Google executives to support Oracle's contention that the company deliberately ignored or tried to get around Java's licence requirements.

Oracle-Google suit: What we will prove
Oracle hopes to convince Judge William Alsup of six key points, which underpin its argument that Google is profiting from the use of Java technology that it should be paying for.

Ayem Nour: I Banged Chris Brown (With Karrueche Tran's Permission)by Free Britney at . Comments
As if the ongoing love triangle featuring Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Karrueche Tran weren't complicated enough, Ayem Nour claims she boned Brown this month.
With Karrueche's consent, no less.
Nour, a popular French reality star and model, tells Oops! magazine (yes, that's a real thing) that she had sex with Brown while he was partying with Tran in Paris.
According to Nour, the sex was beautiful and she's flattered to be in the same league as Rihanna ... who was getting it on with Chris after he dumped Karrueche.
Confused yet?
Oops! magazine probably isn't the most reliable tabloid, even by celebrity gossip standards, so obviously, whatever Ayem Nour claims is highly dubious.
Just the same, in its latest issue - featuring Nour and the headline "I Slept with Chris Brown!" - she insists that she and Chris slapped bodies in Paris.
After Nour, who supposedly first met Brown on his "Celebration" video set, explains that she and a friend were invited back to his room after a night of partying.
"When we entered the room, there were a lot of people ... it was very festive. There was alcohol, music ... and a bit of grass," says the Parisian brunette.
Oh, and Karrueche Tran was there ... and find with sharing her man.
"[Karrueche] has never interfered in the relationship between Chris and me," Nour explains, insisting that the duo is "rather open" when it comes to sexuality.
The price of being back with Chris Brown, perhaps. Whatever works?
As for Rihanna, Ayem says she's proud to follow in her footsteps.
Nour says, "It's beautiful and flattering. I do not ask for much. Some will criticize me, but I put any girl in challenge to say no to Chris Brown."
Challenge issued, Jenny Johnson.
Earlier this week, Christina Milian said that Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran are officially back together, just a few months after he dumped her for Rihanna.
Or "because of his friendship" with Rihanna, to use Breezy's official line.
In any case, now you're up to date. Who gets in Chris Brown's pants yet is anyone's guess, but let's hope Rihanna, Karrueche and Ayem all use protection.
Cheers! It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. Whisky Advocate Cover http://heilongjiangdiangun.inf...
Sad relationship
Y'all believe everything y'all read. It's a shame.
Karruche tran she has fat face seems a man has big hands very ugly.
They should all be ashamed of themselves. Instead of portraying a good image to the youth of today, they are teaching how to be sluts...On top of that they are only tarnishing their image.And the sad thing is that they are all against AIDS, But what we see today is that they are promoting AIDS by being "unfaithful". They are totally lack of morals and respect for themselves...
the other friend was Nabilla, and she is much hotter than this Ayem... so i wouldnt doubt if chris banged Nabilla
Karrueche can't tell chris nothing, he might love her but not in love with her. she is very scare to get the boot so she keeps her mouth shut. Saddddd young lady.
It must be true cuz Karrueche didn't care when he was touching on all those girls in France and she ain't say nothing to him..she obviously gave him permission to keep doing that to her..no man should be disrespecting his girl like that especially in front of her!
who cares who hes screwing??? They seem like a bunch of sluts to me, and he is a bit violent isnt he???? If he was flipping burgers at Burger King he'd never get laid......
He would be getting laid because he is sexy as hell and his tattoos are soooo sexy! Think before u type next time!
I'm french. Ayem lies about this story. She never banged with Chris Brown. She just want to be famous in France. However her friend "Nabilla" banged with Chris Brown.

Redskins' Overtime Loss To Cowboys Not Just Another Crushing Defeat
By ZAC BOYER | email@example.com | @ZacBoyer
LANDOVER, Md. – In a season rife with unlucky breaks and unfortunate mistakes, it seemed like somehow, someway, nothing would end up going wrong for the Washington Redskins on Sunday against Dallas.
A touchdown pass from Rex Grossman to Jabar Gaffney shortly before halftime gave the Redskins their first lead in six games. Another touchdown pass, this one from Grossman to Donte Stallworth, tied the score with 14 seconds remaining. Even the coin flip at the end of regulation ended up in the Redskins' favor.
But when Graham Gano lined up for a 52-yard field goal in overtime, reminders of what the season has been for the Redskins returned. Gano missed his kick mere inches to the right of the upright, Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey followed up by making his and Washington saw its losing streak extended to six, its worst since the start of the 1998 season, with a 27-24 loss before 80,122 at FedEx Field.
"All the things that were out there for us to get it done," Grossman said. "To fight our [arse] off – I'm proud of every single player and every teammate. Just came up a little short."
It was not the typical losing performance for the Redskins (3-7), who have struggled in a variety of ways since winning three of their first four games. The margin of defeat was the smallest it has been since the 18-16 loss to Dallas on Sept. 26. They shut down a highly regarded running game, holding the Cowboys to 89 yards on the ground.
And they had no trouble throwing the ball, with Grossman completing 25 of 38 passes for 289 yards and the two touchdowns to nine different receivers.
A loss is still a loss, though, and turnovers – including an interception and a fumble – as well as the inability to run the ball and crucial late mistakes by the defense again left the Redskins searching for answers.
"This one hurts a lot more because you lose in overtime, you lose to a hated rival and all that," nose tackle Barry Cofield said. "Hopefully we can use this one as motivation and have a good week of practice."
The missed field goal by Gano would, on any other day, be representative of the Redskins' season. Instead, it was Stallworth's touchdown grab – a well-placed jump ball in the back left corner of the end zone over cornerback Alan Ball – that seemed to hint at the potential resurrection of a stagnating team.
Stallworth, the veteran in his 10th NFL season, was released by the team on Nov. 5 but brought back last Tuesday when rookie receiver Leonard Hankerson sustained a season-ending hip injury. Even he didn't expect Grossman to look his way, but the quarterback noticed the way Ball played Stallworth on a run two plays earlier and told Stallworth to be ready.
"Rex put it in the corner, gave me an opportunity to make a play on the ball and we ended up scoring on it," Stallworth said.
It seemed like the same old story for the Redskins in the first half. An early deficit and struggles on offense have been their undoing in recent weeks, and that happened again Sunday. Three of Grossman's first five passes went off receivers' hands, while a fourth gained one yard and a fifth, by Fred Davis, was fumbled.
Tony Romo found Dez Bryant on a 22-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and Bailey followed up with a 37-yard field goal in the second to give Dallas a 10-0 lead, but Washington fought back. Grossman ran four yards on a draw for a touchdown with 3:59 to play – the Redskins' first touchdown in the first half since the victory at St. Louis on Oct. 2 – and then found Gaffney in the back center of the end zone for the 16-yard scoring grab with 14 seconds left until halftime.
When Gano added a 40-yard field goal at the end of the first drive of the second half to push the lead to 17-10, at which point it seemed as if the Redskins, not the Cowboys, were the team contending at the top of the NFC East. But Gano missed his next attempt wide right, a 49-yarder, and Romo threw fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Laurent Robinson and Jason Witten – a 59-yard grab by the wide-open tight end.
The Redskins went 89 yards over the final five minutes for Stallworth's touchdown grab and then went 47 yards in overtime before Gano's attempt. After the miss, Dallas started at its own 42-yard line and needed only six plays – including a backbreaking conversion on third-and-15 when Bryant beat DeAngelo Hall and gained 26 yards – to set up Bailey's winner.
It was a loss, but it was a different loss. No team has qualified for the playoffs after winning just three of their first 10 games since the format was expanded in 1990, but if the Redskins aren't winning games, at least they're now in them.
"It was not one of those games where we just got beat down," Gaffney said. "We gave it away. We gave that one away. We've got to learn how to win again."

Wikimedia edges closer to banishing Wikitext
Wikimedia's planned visual editor, a tool that will make it possible to pen Wikipedia entries without having to learn any markup language, will emerge as a beta "early July". The new tool was first made available in Alpha status to select users since December 2012, before all registered users were offered the chance to play in …
And El Reg invites people to try out the new Wiki Editing tool on their own Wiki Page..
Seems a little behind the times.
The Wikia network has had a visual editor available for its numerous wikis for some time (and BTW, they do retain a Source Edit mode in case of preference or necessity).
Re: "Seems a little behind the times."
Better late than never. They could do a lot worse than to copy Wikia's example.
With any luck
We can all throw away TinyMCE soon, then.
I wish Google or someone would make a replacement for that devilspawn, maybe Wikimedia will achieve it.
Re: With any luck
A replacemnet for tinymce? Never heard of aloha?
lowering the bar
basically having to learn a markup language stops stupid people editing it.
Re: lowering the bar
[studies various wikipedia pages]
The evidence would suggest that's not the case. It appears to be more than accessible for editing by stupid people.
Re: lowering the bar
On the other hand, restricting editing to people with the time and motivation to learn obscure markup probably doesn't select for the optimal participants either...
"...make it possible to contribute to its various projects without having to learn WikiText..."
No... what is needed to make it possible for people to contribute text is if the "editors" - the 30 something virgins who still live in their mum's house and the 13 yr. olds who think they know more about physics than brian cox, because of (ironically), what they have read on wikipedia - wouldn't revert everything within 2 minutes under the vandalism label, just because they don't agree with it.
Reverting just because they don't agree with it ..
`No... what is needed to make it possible for people to contribute text is if the "editors" - the 30 something virgins .. wouldn't revert everything within 2 minutes under the vandalism label, just because they don't agree with it'.
And reverting is done because of some ever changing obscure WP policy, eg WP:RS
a. Rolling Stone isn't a `reliable source' ..
b. Can't mention someone's birth-date as it would be an invasion of privacy, the article isn't biographical, because we didn't mention the parents birth-dates, because she isn't the subject of the article, 'not being the subject of the article' is a consensus on Wikipedia ..
This will be useful...
... it will help people add to the ever expanding cesspit of information about tv shows and every character that has even been on the show, isn't wikipedia just on online guide to tv shows?
Would be nice to see it ported to WordPress to so that you don't need to remember loads of shortcodes and their arguments.
Does it matter?
Since most editing takes place within the paras etc, does it really make a difference? No knowledge of mark-up language was needed for that. It will probably even out to the current level. Probably. Over a sufficiently large sample. On average. I guess.
Oh, OK, it will be a bl**dy disaster!
Hardly banished
Just because your editor doesn't show the markup code doesn't mean it no longer exists.
