You're busy. I'm busy. So let's break down our midweek look at Big Ten football into bites you can consume one at a time or all at once.
Illinois coach Tim Beckman's job security:
Two years ago, Illinois finished seventh nationally in total defense. But after a six-game skid in the second half of the season, the Illini fired Ron Zook and hired Beckman from Toledo.
Beckman is known as a defensive specialist, having worked as a secondary coach under Jim Tressel at Ohio State and as defensive coordinator at Oklahoma State.
So why, as Illinois' Big Ten losing streak hits 19 games under Beckman, has the defense slipped to 54th nationally last season and 116th this season? Another clunker of a number: Beckman's specific position group — the secondary — has two interceptions, tied for second-to-last nationally.
Illinois was so inept last year, going 2-10, that Athletic Director Mike Thomas issued a statement near season's end that Beckman would get a second year.
Now, Thomas is getting more hot-seat queries as the Illini (3-6, 0-5) head toward a 20th consecutive Big Ten loss against No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday.
Thomas told the Chicago Sun-Times he won't talk about what-ifs or ultimatums.
"Is the program developing and getting better? I think it is," Thomas said. "I'm looking forward to continuing progress in the program. (But) we don't want the streak to become the focus. I think we need to start winning football games."
Unlike at some blueblood programs, money is an issue at Illinois.
Beckman is in the second year of a five-year deal worth $9 million. Also, the school already is paying three coaches Thomas fired in his first three months on the job. That buyout figure: more than $7 million.
If you really want to know Beckman's future, pay close attention Nov. 23 when Illinois plays at Purdue (1-8, 0-5). That needs to be a "W."
Michigan's stagnant offense:
In the past two games, Michigan has snapped the ball 122 times. On 50.8 percent of those snaps, the result of the play has been no gain or minus yardage.
I had to count it twice to believe it myself.
Yet UM coach Brady Hoke continues to say he likes the play calling from offensive coordinator Al Borges.

"Al and I meet twice a week to talk about the plan," Hoke said. "Maybe I didn't handle (last) Tuesday's meeting as well as I could with the kids. Maybe there wasn't enough — I don't know — motivation. That's not a great answer, but that's what it is."
Hoke told me Tuesday some credit must go to the Michigan State and Nebraska defenses. "At the same time," he said, "we all have to take a big chunk of it."
Wisconsin in the shadows:
Gary Andersen doesn't own a soapbox. Even if he did, the Badgers coach said Tuesday he wouldn't stand on it to brag about his team, which arguably is the most underrated in the country.
"That's not my style," he said. "We're going to keep on grinding away. I know this is a good team, and we have an opportunity to be known as a great team.
"But we've got to go out on Saturdays and win. If we do that, we'll get the recognition we deserve."
One of the losses for Wisconsin (7-2, 4-1) involved a controversial finish at Arizona State, where an officiating decision prevented UW from attempting a potential game-winning 32-yard field goal. The other setback was 31-24 at No. 3 Ohio State.
The Badgers are in the mix for a Bowl Championship Series at-large spot. But they must rise to at least No. 14 in the BCS standings. This week, they are No. 22.
Minnesota avoids the big head:
Newfound success, like the kind Minnesota is experiencing this season, can lead to newfound cockiness.
But coach Jerry Kill, back on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday for the first time in six weeks, praised his team (8-2, 4-2) for its level-headedness during the school's best run in 10 years.
"It's hard to describe," Kill said. "From the coaching staff to the players, it's been a great group effort. Everybody has been good listeners to the coaches. There is a trust factor. It's been fun to see."
Kill has put his ego aside while dealing with his epilepsy this season. He has worked from the press box since the Northwestern game, which was the start of the current four-game winning streak.
Having a veteran coaching staff — seven of Kill's inner circle have been together at least 13 years — helps immensely.
"We all said, 'Hey, it don't matter. We all want to win,' " Kill said. "We're truly blessed to have our ties and all of us together for a period of time. It helps when you're turning a program around."

Lockport Police are seeking three suspects allegedly involved in the attempted theft of a $2,650 ring from Mills Jewelers on Saturday.
According to the police report, two African American males and a female entered the store at about 2 p.m. and created distractions to separate the staff and to get valuable jewels on top of the counters from within the secured cases. After being in the store for about 25 minutes, one of the male suspects along with the female suspect cut a security cable holding a ring.
The cut cable created an alert to the staff and the suspects were confronted. The female suspect, who had reddish hair, surrendered the ring when challenged by staff. She told the staff it must have slipped off her finger into her purse.
The ring was recovered and the three suspects left the store, getting into what is believed to be a silver or gray Chrysler 300.
"I believe it is likely they were at other retail locations in the region doing the same thing," said Detective Scott Seekins.
The suspects appear to range from 30-to-50 years old and are between 5-foot-8 and 6-feet of average build. One male is balding, the other had a fur hat.
Lockport police is looking to identify the trio and to make other retail stores aware of the activity and suspects.
Based on the investigation and video, they worked together to steal property, because the ring was removed from a security cable without employee knowledge. It is a larceny even though the ring was recovered. The suspects also committed criminal mischief in destroying the security cable.
Anyone with information can contact Lockport Detectives at 439-6723 or 433-7700 or the LPD tip line at 439-6707.

Makes 10
10 Dr. Oetker White Baking Cases
100g (4oz) butter, softened
100g (4oz) caster sugar
2 medium eggs, beaten
150g (5oz) self raising flour
a few drops Dr. Oetker Natural Vanilla Extract
For the icing
75g (3oz) unsalted butter, softened
100g (4oz) icing sugar
a few drops Dr. Oetker Natural Vanilla Extract
To decorate:
Dr. Oetker Hundreds and Thousands
100g (4oz) Dr. Oetker Ready to Roll Coloured Icing
small piece Dr. Oetker Angelica, cut into thin strips
1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/ 350ºF/ Gas Mark 4. Line 10 cupcake tins with the Baking Cases.
2. Place 100g (4oz) butter in a bowl with the sugar and beat until light and creamy.
3. Whisk in the eggs along with 50g (2oz) flour. Sieve in the remaining flour and add a few drops Natural Vanilla Extract, and carefully fold into the mixture using a metal spoon.
4. Divide the mixture between the Baking Cases and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
5. When the cakes are cold, cut a circle out of the top of each cake at an angle of about 1cm (½ inch) from the edge. Cut each circle in half – these will be the butterfly wings.
6. To make the butter icing beat the unsalted butter to soften and gradually sieve and stir in the icing sugar. Add a few drops Natural Vanilla Extract to flavour and carefully spread the 'wings' on one side. Sprinkle with Hundreds and Thousands to decorate. Set aside.
7. Roll out the green Ready to Roll Coloured Icing thinly on a surface lightly dusted with icing sugar. Cut out 16 x 5cm (2 inch) flower shapes, and secure on top of each bun using a little icing.
8. Pipe a thick strip of homemade butter icing down the centre of the fondant flower and gently press the butterfly wings into the icing so that they stand upright. Arrange Angelica to resemble antennae and arrange Hundreds and Thousands on one end of the icing to give the butterfly a face.

By Holly McKenna
ALBANY, New York (Reuters) - New Yorkers will no longer be required to take an eye test to renew their driver's licenses under a rule change that takes effect on Wednesday.
State Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Barbara Fiala said her agency will allow customers to "self-certify" that they meet the driving vision requirement.
New York joins six other states, including Connecticut and Pennsylvania, which do not mandate vision tests when renewing licenses.
Under the old rules, motorists could take a simple eye test at state or county DMV offices, or submit an eye test performed by their own doctors.
The eye test has been abolished only for drivers renewing their licenses. New drivers still have to take a vision test and commercial driver license holders must undergo medical and vision exams every other year.
The change is part of the DMV's effort to push more motorists to renew their licenses online or by mail.
State Senator Patty Ritchie of the upstate New York city of Ogdensburg, a frequent critic of the DMV, urged the agency to keep the eye test requirement, citing safety concerns about drivers whose eyesight may be deteriorating.
"The vision test requirement -- once every eight years -- is a mild inconvenience for motorists that makes our roads safer. Eliminating it just doesn't make sense," said Ritchie, a former St. Lawrence County clerk whose duties included running a DMV office.
As a clerk, she said she witnessed dozens of cases of motorists who first discovered their eyesight had deteriorated when they appeared at the county DMV to renew their licenses.
According to Fiala, eye tests were not required in New York State between 1993 and 2000 and road safety was not affected based on statistics.
Also opposed to the change is AAA New York State, the automobile drivers' organization, which also cited safety concerns.

The conservative grip on power
A ruthless GOP power grab, centered around the Supreme Court, has cemented conservative control in Washington
Topics: Republican Party, Supreme Court, Editor's Picks, News, Politics News
Writing in Salon, Natasha Lennard proposes that with the warm weather we can again expect the Occupy movement to shoot up. Arab Spring, American Spring. She's right about one thing: Like in the decades before the Arab Spring, it has been a long, cold, American winter. In the 30 years since coming to power here, Republicans have used their initial ascent to power to seal themselves into office as tightly as the pharaohs. Smart commentators have noted how lawless the conservatives are in making substantive decisions, but that's not the worst of it. The worst of it is how they use their tenure to make it increasingly impossible to oust them.
With this week's Supreme Court hearings — which will end, liberals worry, with the justices overturning healthcare reform — we are nearing the apotheosis of conservative power. Let us recount how we got here: In 2000, a mob of conservative thugs stopped the vote recount in Florida. And that was before the court got involved, the five conservative justices seizing the election and handing the White House to George W. Bush. Secure in the tenure of their undemocratically selected president, the two older conservative justices, William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O'Connor, retired from the bench. Bush replaced them with two young conservatives, destined, by constitutional design and the miracles of modern medicine, to dominate the court into the foreseeable future. At the Supreme Court, it's always winter (and never Christmas).
The stunningly inept performance by the Bush administration unforeseeably produced the first Democratic federal government since 1994. Immediately thereafter, the conservative Supreme Court majority ruled that the GOP's wealthy sponsors could spend an unlimited amount of the money putting conservatives in office. Now, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, appointed, in part, by the conservative president they put in the White House, is preparing to wipe from the statute books the only piece of meaningful progressive legislation in the last half century, passed during the brief Indian summer of a two-year Democratic majority.

text: Stroke warning signsStroke is a medical emergency. Recognizing and responding immediately to the warning signs of stroke by calling 9-1-1 or your local emergency number can significantly improve survival and recovery. What are the five signs of stroke?Stroke can be treated. That's why it is so important to recognize and respond to the warning signs. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately. If a person is diagnosed with a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors can administer a clot-busting drug available only at a hospital, and only within a few crucial hours after symptoms begin.* That's why it is very important to be able to recognize the 5 warning signs of stroke and immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number. * Health Canada has approved the clot-busting drug called tPA to be used within 3 hours from the time symptoms begin. However, emerging science is now showing that tPA could be effective up to 4 ½ hours afterward. As a result, the Canadian Stroke Strategy has issued new Canadian Best Practices Recommendations for Stroke Care, which have included this new treatment time. Still, it will be up to the attending emergency doctors to determine when tPA may be administered or if it is appropriate to the situation. The website known as strokebestpractices.ca has A Patient's Guide to Canadian Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Care to help you and your caregivers to learn more about stroke care, whether in the emergency room, during rehabilitation or back in the community.

Paget's disease is a chronic disease that affects how the body breaks down and rebuilds bone tissue. Paget's disease can be active or inactive, depending on whether the bone formation process goes too quickly or normally.
Inactive Paget's disease
In inactive Paget's disease, bone tissue is being broken down and rebuilt at a normal speed. This most often occurs when you are using medicine to slow the bone growth. The inactive state may continue even after you stop taking medicine. This is called remission.
Active Paget's disease
Active Paget's disease has three stages. They are:
Bone pain may occur in any of the stages.

It's your lucky day! You just won a foreign lottery! The letter says so. And the cashier's check to cover the taxes and fees is included. All you have to do to get your winnings is deposit the check and wire the money to the sender to pay the taxes and fees. You're guaranteed that when they get your payment, you'll get your prize.
The next time you write a check to your local merchant, the cashier may hand it back to you after the payment has been processed – electronically. Or maybe you're mailing a check as payment to a company. That payment, too, may be processed electronically. Why? More merchants and companies are using electronic check conversion, which converts information from your paper check into an electronic payment from your bank account. In fact, NACHA – the Electronic Payments Association – estimates that more than 1.7 billion paper checks were converted through in-store and mail-in transactions in 2005.
If you write checks, you should know about a new law called "Check 21." Under the law, your paper checks can be replaced with paper copies called "substitute checks." You also may experience electronic — and faster — processing of your checks.

Anyway Halloween is creeping closer (it is supposed to be scary so don't look at me that way when I say that something is "creeping" closer) and with it my sister's and my father's birthdays,too.Both were born on Halloween.My father works outside the country,mostly in Singapore,so I'm mailing him a package.And I thought,I haven't sent a letter to my penfriend in a while,so I'll do that,too.
Now,gifts are used regularly as a knitting excuse.So,what do you think happened next,I knitted a little sleeping heart filled with lavender for my father.Not really the smartest thing I have ever done.I mean,do you really think that knitting a red (freaking) fuzzy yarn on tiny red needles is really a smart thing?
Anyway,I had another felting fail.This time I think the problem was time,it has just started to felt when I had to take it out (because of that stupid school).I poped in the sink (that is where I felt) my nozzler Tio too,in an attempt to felt him.A stubborn creature he is,this is the second time I tried to felt him,better luck next time I hope.
And the gift:
And to my penfriend,I didn't know what to make and deadline was approaching,I needed something fast,easy and friendly looking.My nozzler helped me out here.Mobile phone warmers kept appearing in front of my eyes so I decided on that.Basically this is the pattern.
The red line is the cast on edge and the green line is the cast of edge.When finished knitting (all stockinette stitch) fold the piece in half and sew the cast on edge together and blue edges together.Add a fancy button on the place where the purple dot is.Pull harder at one of the cast of stitches on the flap and pull it over the button to close.
Here is how mine looks like(ahem,my penfriends looks like):
Here is the postcard:
It is actually 3D and I thought it looked warm and friendly. |
Yesterday,we bought some vegetable and I saw Fleki munching through the plastic bag to get to the salad.And I yelled his name,and he,puzzled,jumped a step or two towards my with a look like:"What's up,don't you see I'm eating.".He just didn't get it,I laughed at the fact that he didn't even understand that he shouldn't be doing that.

i struggled mainly with the traction control last year, i had continental sport contact tyres, which are awful for snow as they only have ribs going round the tyre, not across... so dont grip anything! as soon as i got a bit of movement the traction control would kick in and all momentum would be lost and i'd stop.. Unfortuantely i cant turn off traction control!!

Don't think I needed them at all last year as we got away pretty lightly compared to the previous two winters.
As said, they shred in no time on tarmac, but for the very few instances where I had to use them, I found them pretty handy.
We all know that the most important factor, in all driving but especially winter conditions, is the driver and technique employed.
Still tempted though to pick up a set of steelies with winter rubber on them and get the ST 18s off for a few months. Would be an excuse for a refurb then too, haha!

"Two great museums are better than one," Young said. "If there's no other alternative and [LACMA] is prepared to do what it takes to give MOCA what it needs to be a great museum, it's probably a good thing."
Hugh Davies, longtime director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, said that LACMA's stewardship of MOCA "would be a very civic and sensible solution to keeping the best of MOCA in Los Angeles and in business. I don't see it as some sort of voracious corporate takeover or something like that. I see it as a generous and carefully crafted proposal to keep the culture of Los Angeles intact."
Davies said that a MOCA pairing with USC also could work out well, paralleling UCLA's oversight and partial funding of the Hammer Museum on its Westwood doorstep.
"I think the partnership or merger with LACMA is a more natural move," he said. "The two cultures are very similar and sympathetic. In the case of USC, you would have to know how its president and trustees really view the idea."

"To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature." — Auguste Rodin
It was a clear fall morning and Bob Allen was not in his office next to mine. That was a rarity.
Except for the week he joined his family at a fishing camp up north, he was as dependable as clockwork. This particular morning was a bit special. Not for you or me. But for Bob it might as well have been a holiday. It was Turkey season.
Bob Allen was one of the people who hired me as the School Enrichment Education Assistant at the Clark County 4-H office. If the truth be told, he was my boss. Bob wouldn't say that. He would always say I worked with him and not for him.
Either one was my pleasure. I have been in the workforce for four decades. The years I spent working with Bob Allen are my favorite of them. I never felt like I worked a day in the entire two years.
Bob is among the most honorable and decent men I have ever known. He is a dedicated husband and father. He was almost a workaholic in his then-educator position. He was as devoted to working with and guiding young people as anyone I have ever been around. He and I shared that passion.
Now that he is retiring after 34 years I am going to be honest about something of which Bob would never discuss. When you are leading an organization which absolutely requires volunteers, you have to be a special person. You have no leverage on them and they are essential to your success. There were many dedicated and unbelievably giving persons who made that organization go.
However, among long time volunteers there can be competitiveness, fragile egos, hurt feelings and some downright unreasonable behavior from time to time. Bob Allen managed to keep a ship sailing that could certainly lisp from side-to-side upon occasion.
It was an occasional fun time for me when Bob might come into my office to vent in his own special way about some issues that were obviously driving him crazy trying to balance things, especially in preparation for the Clark County 4-H Fair.
In working with Bob and the others, it was a monumental thing to pull off and is especially so when the volunteer coordinating was essential and competitive livestock events became quite competitive.
When Bob might have a frazzled moment, he was almost cartoonish in his venting. I don't think I ever heard him utter a profane word, but it was almost like he wanted to. I know under some of his pressure I certainly would have uttered more than one.
Bob was an eccentric and lovable character during those times. He was certainly a very patient, Christian-like persona when the time called for one to be.
I know that Bob is one of those people you like to consider a friend in every way possible. On the day that my position and another were eliminated due to budget cuts, there was a lot of emotion in the room. David, Margaret, Sharon, Reba, Bob, Micki and I were a close-knit group.
I held it together until I went to my office and shed a couple of private tears. I knew at that moment that I would never enjoy any paying job like I had the last two years. It's really a helpless position to be in when there is nobody to blame when a wonderful and personally enriching and rewarding time in your life comes to an end.
When your job was having fun and educating kids, you have been blessed. When you work with someone who devoted as much time and energy to young people as did Bob Allen you have certainly been blessed to work alongside him.
He's the kind of guy I would have in a foxhole beside me, especially if he was armed with a bow-and-arrow and a hunting rifle.
And you know what made him a special outdoorsman. On some of those crisp fall mornings when Bob Allen is known to traipse through the woods hunting for turkey, he might not be carrying either one. Sometimes the hunt is simply for his love, appreciation and respect of all things in nature. He is a true sportsman.
I wish Bob Allen a wonderful retirement. Thanks, Bob, for two of the best years of my life.
"At 85, there are two things that you do well — cry and pee. I do a lot of both" — Teddy Throckmorton
Yes, this is the quote Teddy told me and again uttered at the Elks Club last Saturday during one of the special social events I have attended in some time — his 85th birthday party. There was a virtual Who's-Who from Jeffersonville, and more than a few JHS Hall-of-Fame athletes.
A very special and emotional exchange took place when recently retired legendary broadcaster Charlie Jenkins awarded Ted with a plaque that exclaimed he was, "The Last Mic Standing."
Rumor has it that Ted has again shot his age on the golf course, but Bobby Potter told me in the past that Teddy's favorite club is the foot wedge. If you can get the truth out of Potter about Ted, then you need to volunteer in the Jeffersonville Police Department's detective's interrogation room.
And by the way, we are sure Ted is 85, because Gene Coomer has been keeping track of the years. Ted's still a pretty good looking 85-year old man, but when 101-year-old Jeff fan Tom Horn walked into the room he could have passed for Ted's brother, um, er, little brother!

Typecast as a Terrorist
Rizwan Ahmed and Farhad Harun, who play former Guantánamo inmates Shafiq Rasul and Ruhel Ahmed, were detained for nearly two hours under Britain's Terrorism Act. The four men were on their way home from the Berlin Film Festival, where the film received the Silver Bear for best director.
The film tells the story of the three men from Tipton in the West Midlands who traveled to Pakistan for a planned wedding and later decided to visit Afghanistan at the behest of an imam urging his members to offer assistance to families. They survived the slaughter of prisoners by Northern Alliance troops under Afghan warlord Gen. Rashid Dostum and were eventually handed over to the United States and sent to Guantánamo Bay, where they were held for more than two years before being released in 2004.
Although the men were proved innocent, they were Muslims in a country that harbored Muslim terrorists. The analogy is, of course, that not all weeds are harmful. As Mark Winston notes in his study of people and pests, "what is a weed and what is desirable vegetation is largely a product of our personal societal decisions." However, the West has been slow to learn from such stories.
Rizwan Ahmed, one of the detained actors, was interrogated by three Special Branch officers and said that one of them asked if he "intended to do more documentary films, specifically more political ones like The Road to Guantánamo. She asked, 'Did you become an actor mainly to do films like this, to publicize the struggles of Muslims?' "
Actors flinch at the thought of being typecast. My guess is that Ahmed answered no; he is not planning to limit himself to the same role. To the interrogator's credit, however, she was able to distinguish between the actors and former inmates, a marked improvement over the inability to distinguish between terrorists and nonterrorists.
One could almost call it Kafkaesque if it weren't so transparent. What it suggests is not a tangled web of bureaucracy and authoritarianism, surreal manifestations of power and repression, but the base stupidity of a legal apparatus that is no longer capable of and no longer required to distinguish between real and invented threats. The Tipton Three and the actors who depict them do not pose a threat to national security but rather to the fictions that the United States and Britain have constructed in order to prosecute their war.
As Reprieve Legal Director Clive Stafford Smith noted when the men were released, "It is particularly telling that actors who played Guantánamo prisoners should be detained on the day after the government pushed through its terror bill, making criminals of those who 'glorify' terrorism. Who's next? Is Ken Stott going to be detained because he played the greatest terrorist of them all, Adolf Hitler? This is a glaring indictment of the government's approach to 'terror' and demonstrates how far the British government has already emulated the Bush Administration's disdain for basic human rights and freedoms."
The logic seems to be: If you can't find the real terrorists, find people who resemble them. If they turn out to be innocent and can defend themselves (it should be remembered that the Tipton Three speak English, unlike many of the other inmates at Guantánamo), then find those who dramatize their stories, who defend them, who speak for them, and let them know that they too are suspects, that they too are aiding and abetting the enemy. Or maybe they are the enemy.
While The Road to Guantánamo has yet to find a US distributor, Winterbottom, who directed the recently released adaptation of Tristram Shandy, has managed to create two cock and bull stories: one of his own doing, resurrected from an eighteenth-century novel that many thought an improbable cinematic experiment, and the other a more perverse state-sponsored version of a tale that has become all too familiar.

Bob in Houston said...
I'm not saying he hasn't played hard. But the turnover late in OT was an example of what Fran Fraschilla was saying the other day about him thinking that every possession might be the one that could get him into the NBA.
Instead, he backed away, got trapped late, and threw a horrible pass for a turnover. He thought he could make a game-clinching play and nearly helped Tech win it.
"Leadership is wisdom, courage and great carelessness of self"
austinr said...
Man when I watched how Tech finished all day but the Horns couldn't finish (again) at all. I think its a Todd Wright issue for the off season. Texas has to get stronger..............the positive of the day for me is Cam Ridley continues to get better. He is more active on the boards and the defensive end. The only problem is he can't throw it in the ocean unless its a dunk.
austinr said...
Clack has posted more than once that his basketball IQ is not great................but the play you referenced today was fatigue IMHO. He does however seem to kill his dribble too quickly. But man when he is in the center of the court on the fast break he can make things happen. But today not to have a FG vs Tech is just crazy.............

My 16 month old son tends to climb on me, pull the boppy pillow, or pull on his sister (2 weeks old) when I try to breastfeed. How can I keep him occupied while I feed her? She eats for 30 minutes on average, sometimes more and occasionally for 20 minutes. What could keep him busy for that long? Any advice? Also, I wasn't sure to post that here or in baby's first year.
Okay..this is a great question. If he likes TV, you could put on a quick Sesame Street or something, but here are a few great ideas to keep him busy:
1. Get a sturdy cardboard poster tube...10 matchbox cars...let him roll the cars down the tube like a long tunnel. Prop the tube up on a chair and he will have a blast.
2. Get floor puzzles
3. A pack-n-play with toys that he doesn't usually get to play with in there...that way he is safe and out of the way. He may fuss at first, but if there are cool toys he doesn't play with then...he may like it.
4. Pots and pan drum set... loud but fun
5. Let him play in the backyard (if it is fenced) while you sit on the deck or patio and watch him and feed the baby
6. Let him sit next to you and read him a story while you feed the baby. May take juggling but you will be surprised how good you get
7. iphone with baby games or flip books on them
Thanks for the suggestions. TV doesn't keep his attention for more than a few minutes at a time. The toys in a pack n play may be my best bet. I will have to buy a cool toy for him to have when I feed her. He would climb all over me if I have him sit next to me lol. We live in an apartment otherwise the backyard would be a perfect thing to do. He loves being outside. I could try the pots and pans too. Thanks!
Wow, great ideas from MommyRN4!
I used to put my kiddo in his high chair with a healthy snack and a cartoon if I really needed him to stay in one place while I did something. I also used to have a basket of toys he didn't get to play with much and would scatter them around just before I sat down to nurse. Even going to the store and getting some cheap dollar store toys that are only brought out for feeding times, etc. could be enough!
I love the dollar store! It doesn't take much to keep kids busy as they have such good imaginations. With preschool age kiddos I love any kind of art projects. Stickers, crayons, paper, coloring books, etc are all great. -Jess
Yes the dollar store and the "gently used" store in your area are great places to find "new" toys to entertain your toddler. You can also see if another mommy in your area wants to toy swap. That is another great way to get toys for kids to play with that are "newish".

Frequently Asked Questions
About Your Trip
How much do you spend on food in SE Asia?
On average, a lunch should cost no more than £3 and dinner up to £10 including drinks. The standard and quality of the restaurants is very good while still retaining a traditional ambience. In the more remote locations, it's amazing how the local people can prepare such delicious meals!
Diane Knight - Sales
What's the standard of accommodation like in SE Asia?
The hotels are of a very good standard, roughly comparable to a 2/3 star standard with air conditioning, spacious rooms and centrally located. Because certain areas have only opened up to tourism relatively recently, in the past 15 years or so, most of the hotels are newly built but in a traditional style. More remote areas can also have slightly more basic facilitiers, but these are usually more than compensated for by the location.
Brendan Phelan - Customer Operations
Are the visas easy to get for this trip?
All visas except (Vietnam) are easy to get upon arrival. Check in the trip notes for the latest costs and the leader will be on hand to advise as well. If travelling to Laos or Cambodia, the leader will advise you when crossing but just have some US$ ready and make sure you have some pages free in your passport! For details on Vietnamese visas, please see the question regarding this below.
Other passport holders should check with their nearest embassy.
Aurelija Selvestraviciute - SE Asia Operations

Thais like their food spicy, but in most resturants they will assume that farang (foreigners) won't want their food quite as spicy and you'll be asked if you want it "Thai style" or not. Vegetarians who don't eat fish may find it difficult to avoid fish oil, as this is used in the vast majority of Thai food. Ask your tour leader to ask that this not be used in cooking, even if you are ordering a vegetarian meal. Street food is wide ranging, cheap and generally of excellent quality. If a vendor is busy, it's generally a sign of the food being good. Som Tum (spicy green papaya salad) is one dish I highly recommend. Grilled chicken (gai) with sticky rice is another. If you fancy a drink, Heineken, Singha and Chang are all available widely and will cost from 60 to 120 baht, depending on where you are. All three are brewed in Thailand.
Kai Aylward - Sales
How should I take my money to SE Asia?
With regards to money, it is easy to change cash or travellers cheques in most of the major cities and towns in South East Asia. ATMs are available everywhere (to give you some idea, there is a gloabally connected ATM at every 711, and there are two 711s for every one bus stop in Bangkok alone). However, there is now a flat fee added for every withdrawal made from an international bank account at ATMs (in addition to any fees charged by your own bank) so it's advisable to only make large cash withdrawals rather than taking out small sums as you go.

Vietnam Specific Questions
Staff member Imran Arshad, recently travelled to Vietnam, and you can read his article here to get a personal viewpoint of the area.
Can I get a Vietnamese visa on arrival?
No, it must be gotten in advance. We suggest applying for the visa at least six weeks before departure. It is normally valid for 30 days and will ask for your entry and exit days. You can add the exact dates or, because you can use the whole 30 days, you can put the start date down as a week before you're due to get there and extend it for 30 days beyond that. This way you are covered in case there is any changes to your plans. Either way is fine.
Brendan Phelan - Customer Operations
Vietnam country guide (including plugs!)
Please visit the Exodus Travel Guide to Vietnam where you can find out what plugs they use, as well as more detailed Country information in the menu on the left of the page.
Like a lot of South East Asia, Vietnam meals consist mainly of rice, vegetables and frilled or stir fried meat. The staple dish is Pho, which is a noodle broth with veg and meat. You can buy it off many small roadside stalls very cheaply, as well as the more established restuarants you will be visiting during the trip. Due to the French colonial influence, another item you shouldn't miss is the fresh baguettes, filled with cheese, pate or meat, again available from small stalls in most towns.

A major city of Dunkirk business and taxpayer is running at one-third of its capacity. Another major city business - and high water user - is facing an uncertain future in this area. And, according to U.S. Census estimates, the city population has dropped slightly from 2010.
How has Dunkirk's leadership responded for 2013? With a tax increase and major water rate hike for property taxpayers.
Those proposals do not seem to be answers for what is ailing a struggling, shrinking city.
For decades, Dunkirk - especially before this administration - has run government as though maybe not all is not well, but it could be worse. They have put off major projects and have not received assistance from its generously compensated workers when it came to cutting costs.
Today, that remains the case. And as business struggles for survival in the city, especially main employers, the emphasis is on making current residents and users pay more, not less, to fix what is wrong in the city.
Which leads us to the true problem. Why do we keep believing the city - as it is today - is sustainable for the future? It is not growing. It is not welcoming to business and, in typical Dunkirk tradition, continues to punish those who live and do business here by upping taxes and fees.
The most recent proposal - for 2013 - is a $21.9 million budget to run a city of 12,500 residents - or a $1,752 plan per resident.
Mistakes have been made by leaders in the past. We agree. But we cannot dwell on this.
The current issue is how do we move forward. If the current administration cannot put an end to taxing and spending ways in the city of Dunkirk, who will and when will it happen?
And, if it ever does happen, will it be much too late to even matter?

Remember the Lord and You Will Never Forget
"I, the LORD, alone probe the mind and test the heart…" Jeremiah 17: 10
Every morning, each person wakes up to a world full of challenges, distractions, and worries that they need to face each day. Sometimes, our day-to-day lives can seem like a blur as we try to accomplish all of our duties and goals. It is easy to get caught up in all of these things, working so hard to accomplish all of these goals that sometimes we can forget to do some of the most important things in life. In this week's gospel, Jesus teaches that the things we don't do are just as important as the things we do. The rich man of the parable learns too late, that, consumed by his wealth and splendor, he failed to be compassionate and generous throughout his life, and as a result, is suffering after his death.
Even in our failings, God is willing to cross the chasm that we have created between us and Him through the sacrifice of his precious Son, Jesus. Through his death, Jesus restores the communion with God that we lost due to original sin, showing us his endless mercy and proving that love will always conquer evil.
As we go through our daily lives, it is important for us to remember God in all that we do, because He is the person who will help us remember to do all things with love. Try to make everything you do a gift to Him.
Lord, fill our hearts with your spirit and love, so that we may always have eyes open to see your will clearly, and the courage to follow it. Amen.
Jer 17: 5-10, Ps 1: 1-4, 6, Lk 16: 19-31

Mirza Tahir Ahmad (Urdu: مرزا طاہراحمد) (December 18, 1928 – April 19, 2003) was Khalifatul Masih IV, Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and fourth successor to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He was elected as Caliph on June 10, 1982, the day after the death of his predecessor, Mirza Nasir Ahmad.
In 1974 he was nominated as a member of the Ahmadiyya delegation which appeared before the Parliament of Pakistan to defend the beliefs of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. As Khalifatul Masih IV, Tahir Ahmad attended the 100th Annual Jalsa Salana (annual gathering) being held in Qadian, India in 1991. It was the first time an Ahmadiyya Caliph had returned to Qadian since the partition of India in 1947, when the community relocated from India to Pakistan.
Tahir Ahmad has held "Question & Answers" sessions. During his Caliphate, the community experienced structural and financial growth including the launch of the first Muslim satellite television network, Muslim Television Ahmadiyya, in 1994.
Early life[edit]
Mirza Tahir Ahmed was born in Qadian, India on December 18, 1928. He obtained his early schooling in Qadian and joined the Government College, Lahore in 1944, a few months after the death of his mother, Syeda Maryam Begum. After graduating with distinction from Jamia Ahmadiyya (Theological Academy) in Rabwah, he continued his education and obtained his honours degree in Arabic from the University of Punjab, Lahore.
In 1955 he visited England for the first time with his father, who advised him to remain there to improve his knowledge of the English language and become familiar with European social habits. He studied for two and a half years at the School of Oriental and African Studies at London University, but returned to Pakistan in December 1957 without having graduated. During his stay in London Tahir Ahmad visited different parts of the United Kingdom including Ireland, Scotland, Wales and also some parts of Western Europe.
Upon his return in 1957, Tahir Ahmad married Asifa Begum and was appointed the vice president of the newly established Waqf-e-Jadid Foundation, whose main task was to educate community members who lived in rural areas of Pakistan. He also started treating poor people with homeopathy.
During the Pakistani parliamentary investigations regarding the status of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a delegation of five members, including Tahir Ahmad, was sent to plead the community's case. Shortly after, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was declared non-Muslim by the Pakistani National Assembly, which remains the constitutional and legal position of Pakistan as of 2012[update].
The Majlis Intikhab Khilafat (Electoral College), convened at Mubarik Mosque in Rabwah, Pakistan[1] elected Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad as the fourth successor to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and head of the community on June 10, 1982.[2]
Ordinance XX, the anti-Ahmadiyya legislation passed by General Zia ul Haq's government on April 26, 1984, compelled Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad to leave Pakistan immediately. He left on April 28, 1984 with 17 others, and eventually reached London on April 30. He established his base in England during his years of exile.
Return to India[edit]
In 1991 Hadrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad returned to India to attend the 100th Annual Jalsa Salana (gathering) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Qadian. This was the first time a Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community had visited India since the partition of India in 1947 and the relocation of the Community to the new headquarters in Pakistan by Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad.
Muslim Television Ahmadiyya[edit]
As Khalifatul Masih Mirza Tahir Ahmad established the Muslim Television Ahmadiyya (commonly referred to as MTA). This satellite-based channel broadcast its first show on August 21, 1992 from London.[3] It started with a weekly one-hour program, transmitting Ahmad's Friday sermon.
Today, MTA broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, is watched by millions of people on five continents,[citation needed] and consists of three channels. Every Friday, broadcasts still include Khalifatul Masih's Friday sermon, simultaneously televised into six languages. Important events of the Community are also televised in most major languages around the world.
International Bai'at[edit]
In 1993 Mirza Tahir Ahmad started an international initiation ceremony to be held every year at the annual gatherings of Ahmadis in which new converts join the community by pledging their allegiance to the Khalifa. The International Bai'at ceremony was broadcast live across the world. He often claimed that this was the historical fulfillment of the Pentecost that was destined to happen upon the Second Coming.[4]
Mirza Tahir Ahmad was a homeopath. After trying a couple of remedies for his own migraine and his wife's long-standing ailment, he came to believe in the efficacy of homeopathic remedies, and treated patients. He embarked upon a program of homeopathy training through classes televised on MTA International. These lectures were later compiled in a book (below).
Marriage, children, and family[edit]
Mirza Tahir Ahmad married Asifa Begum in 1957. They had 4 daughters, Shaukat Jehan, Faiza, Yasmin Rehman Mona, Atiatul Mujib Tooba and one daughter who died in infancy. He had no sons but later he took on the upbringing and educational training of a boy, Bashir. Asifa Begum died from pancreatic cancer[5] on April 3, 1992.
Mirza Tahir Ahmad was the grandson the founder of the Ahmadiyya, he was the son of Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad, the second Caliph from his wife Syeda Maryam Begum, and was also the half-brother of Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the third Caliph.
Mirza Tahir Ahmad died in London on April 19, 2003 from heart failure.[6] The new successor of the Promised Missiah Mirza Masroor Ahmad, as the Khalifatul Masih V, led the funeral prayer on April 24, 2003, attended by over 40,000 people from around the world.[7]
Writings, speeches and question-and-answer sessions[edit]
Mirza Tahir Ahmad answered questions from people of various faiths, professional backgrounds, cultures and mindsets around the world in various meetings and forums. He would answer any and all questions, whether related to Islam or not, without preparation or assistance.
"Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & Truth"[edit]
Mirza Tahir Ahmad wrote among many others, a book named Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & Truth which was a further development on a talk he gave in Zurich, Switzerland in 1987. It covered many topics relating to the present day world. In this book he argued a rebuttal to the theories of biologist Richard Dawkins.[8] He also argued that Socrates was a prophet of the ancient Greeks, and that several other prominent figures from history were at the level of prophethood due to their accomplishments and their influence over other figures far into history, both on a moral and materialistic progressive compass.
