Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 1: The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets (eBook)
Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 1: The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets (eBook)
Tra-la-laaa!! The NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling Captain Underpants series is now available in ebook edition, featuring Flip-E-Rama, bonus content, and more! George and Harold are in a STICKY situation. Their latest prank has SNOTTY school brainiac Melvin Sneedly seeing red, and he can't wait to get them back. But when Melvin tries to transform himself into a bionic-powered superboy, things get a little gloppy -- and the Bionic Booger Boy is born! Can Captain Underpants beat this blobby behemoth of blech, or is the entire world doomed to drown in disgusting nose-dribble? Pass the tissues, please!
About the Author

A mishap involving a new-fangled machine and an ill-timed sneeze turn nerdy Melvin Sneedly into the gunky, slimy "Bionic Booger Boy." In the second volume, Melvin and Mr. Krupp (a.k.a. Captain Underpants) find themselves trapped in each other's bodies. Those who enjoy gross-out humor (i.e., most boys) will probably be laughing too hard to notice the deficiencies in the rather shapeless plots.

Gr 2-4-Fourth-graders George and Harold are good at pranks involving ketchup on toilet seats; saving the planet from the "nasty forces of unrelenting evil"; and making fun of Melvin Sneedly, the school brainiac and tattletale. When his robot-making hobby backfires during a class demonstration, Melvin tries to transform himself into a bionic superboy to get back at the pair but ends up as Bionic Booger Boy instead. Chaos ensues after he accidentally doubles and triples in size. George and Harold call on Captain Underpants (the school principal), but he loses his powers when he is covered in saliva. When a bionic hamster hears the terrified cries of his two friends, he comes to the rescue. The typical Pilkey ending leaves the door open for a sequel, and the novel is filled with the familiar comic-book inserts, Flip-O-Rama animations, and black-and-white cartoon illustrations. Fans will love this installment, and the book would probably appeal to slow readers. Adults are likely to be turned off by the use of the words "idiot" and "dumb" to refer to children and by the graphic description of snot.

Saha and Park combined well moments later on the right flank but the Korean elected to square the ball instead of shooting after tricking his way into the area. His pass failed to find a team-mate but still the move was applauded by the appreciative supporters in the crowd of 40,134, many of them wearing the club's new red shirt.
Saha's next marauding run down the right drew a sliding challenge from Dirnei Renato and consequently another corner in the 6th minute. Ryan's inswinger served to cause more confusion and a third corner for the Reds. This time Ronaldo took it short on the left and when Heinze played the ball forward, Scholes headed it just over the crossbar.

U.S. Stocks Drop; S&P 500, Dow Post Worst Retreats Since 1937
By Elizabeth Stanton and Eric Martin
U.S. stocks fell, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index below 1,000 for the first time since 2003, on speculation banks and real-estate companies are running short of money as the credit crisis worsens.
Bank of America Corp. tumbled 26 percent after cutting its dividend in half and saying it plans to sell $10 billion in common stock to brace for a recession. Morgan Stanley, KeyCorp and JPMorgan Chase & Co. slid more than 10 percent as investors shrugged off signs the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates. General Growth Properties Inc., a mall owner, plunged 42 percent on concern it won't be able to repay debt.
The S&P 500 slid 60.66 points, or 5.7 percent, to 996.23, extending its 2008 tumble to 32 percent in the market's worst yearly slump since 1937. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 508.39, or 5.1 percent, to 9,447.11, giving it a 29 percent retreat in 2008 that would also be the worst in 71 years. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 5.8 percent to 1,754.88.
''We've approached the edge of the cliff,'' Leon Cooperman, 65, who manages $6 billion at hedge fund Omega Advisors Inc., said at the Value Investing Congress in New York. ''Do we go over the cliff or begin to recede? History says we recede, but there's no guarantee. This is the most difficult financial environment I've lived through.''
The S&P 500 Financials Index slumped 12 percent to below its lowest level since 1997 even after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke signaled he is ready to cut interest rates. The S&P 500's 15 percent retreat since Sept. 30 is the third-steepest five-day drop on record, according to Bespoke Investment Group LLC, a Harrison, New York-based research firm. The bigger slumps occurred in 1932.
Levkovich Cuts Forecast
The slump that pushed the S&P 500 to an almost five-year low yesterday prompted Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citigroup Inc., to lower his year-end forecast for the index by 19 percent to 1,200. His previous target of 1,475 had been the most bullish of nine forecasts in a Bloomberg survey.
Bank of America plunged $8.45 to $23.77 after the lender slashed its dividend to 32 cents and announced plans to raise at least $10 billion in common stock as it braces for an extended recession. Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Lewis said the U.S. economy slowed in the past 45 days with little prospect for immediate improvement.
The bank also released its third-quarter earnings two weeks early. Profit declined 68 percent to $1.18 billion, or 15 cents a share. Analysts predicted earnings of 61 cents a share for the quarter, according to the average of 20 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
'Credit Deterioration'
''The market is responding to the fact that there was credit deterioration in their businesses,'' Erick Maronak, the New York- based chief investment officer at Victory Capital Management, said of Bank of America. Victory Capital oversees $66 billion.
Merrill Lynch & Co., which is being acquired by Bank of America, sank 26 percent to $18 for the steepest decline since October 1987. JPMorgan lost 11 percent to $39.32, and KeyCorp tumbled 10 percent to $10.61.
Morgan Stanley declined as much as 40 percent on concern its sale of a stake to Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. would fall through. The stock pared that drop, falling 25 percent to $17.65 at the close, after Morgan Stanley spokesman Mark Lane said the deal is still ''on track.''
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s index of stocks with high hedge fund ownership dropped 7.1 percent to the lowest level since August 2003. All 49 companies in the measure declined, giving the index a 38 percent loss for 2008.
Disney Declines
Walt Disney Co. retreated 6 percent to $26.57, the lowest price since February 2006, after Merrill Lynch downgraded the world's biggest theme-park operator to ''underperform'' from ''neutral,'' citing concern ''about the risk to earnings estimates in the current economic climate.''
General Growth Properties Inc. led an index of real-estate investment trusts in the S&P 500 to a 8.9 percent drop, sending the group to a four-year low. The mall owner at risk of not being able to refinance debt coming due this year fell 42 percent to $4.50, extending its slide over the past year to 92 percent.
Apartment Investment & Management Co., a REIT specializing in apartments, fell 27 percent to $25.50.
Tomorrow is the last day of a Securities and Exchange Commission rule banning short sales in more than 980 financial companies. Since it was announced Sept. 18, companies covered by the rule are down an average of 16 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 lost 17 percent during the period, while commercial banks in the gauge are down 23 percent.
GM, Ford Slump
General Motors Corp. fell 11 percent to $7.56, the lowest price since the 1950s. The automaker's European unit plans to reduce production by about 40,000 vehicles by the end of the year as credit-market turmoil causes a drop in car sales.
Ford Motor Co., the second-largest U.S. automaker after GM, tumbled 21 percent to $2.92, the lowest price since April 1983.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc., the chipmaker struggling to compete with Intel Corp., jumped 8.5 percent to $4.59 after saying Abu Dhabi will pay $700 million for a stake in a new company that will own two plants in Germany and build another in New York. The new company, which will assume $1.2 billion of AMD's debt, will receive as much as $6 billion from Abu Dhabi to expand the factories and get $1.4 billion in operating capital. Abu Dhabi will also pay $314 million to double its stake in AMD to 19 percent.
Commercial Paper Fund
Stocks opened higher after the Federal Reserve invoked emergency powers to create a special fund to buy commercial paper, which is short-term debt issued by corporations to fund operations.
American Express Co., the largest U.S. credit-card company by purchases, dropped 6.1 percent to $28.25. It had surged as much as 8.1 percent after the Fed's announcement. General Electric Co., whose businesses include jet engines, health care and television programming, added as much as 5.9 percent before closing down 5.1 percent at $20.30.
Both American Express and GE are among the biggest U.S. direct issuers of commercial paper. In the three weeks ended Oct. 1, finance-company commercial paper outstanding fell 16 percent to $683.4 billion, Fed data show.
''A connection is being made between the freeze-up in the credit markets and the drop-off in economic activity we've seen,'' said Robert Stimpson, a money manager at Oak Associates Inc. in Akron, Ohio. ''A step to loosen credit practices and allow companies to borrow again might forestall the economic weakness we've seen flow through'' to employment.
Earnings Watch
Earnings at S&P 500 companies probably dropped on average of 5.6 percent in the third quarter, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Financial companies are forecast to lead the drop in profits with a 64 percent decrease, followed by an 11 percent slide in earnings at retailers, hoteliers, restaurant chains and other so- called consumer discretionary companies.
The S&P 500 has tumbled 36 percent from its record a year ago. Based on estimated profit, the S&P 500's price-to-earnings ratio is 11.9.
''On very conservative earnings expectations for the next 12 months this market at minimum is starting to look reasonably valued,'' Leo Grohowski, chief investment officer for the wealth management unit of Bank of New York Mellon Corp., told Bloomberg Television. The unit manages $162 billion. ''Times when it feels almost irresponsible to shore up equities, they tend to be good buying opportunities historically.''

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Tucson firefighters responding to a 911 call about a vehicle fire in the desert found a person's dead body in the car's trunk after the fire was put out.
The vehicle appeared to be a silver two-door passenger vehicle.
Police say a crowd of people gathered at the scene as the first officers and firefighters responded Thursday.
However, most of the people left as police began trying to speak with them.
Detectives want anyone who noticed anything to call authorities.

The Difference
I get why soccer is the perfect sport for liberals. You win by pitching a crying fit over the slightest injury so that an official will penalize the other team. That's what liberalism basically is.
I get why soccer is the perfect sport for liberals. You win by pitching a crying fit over the slightest injury so that an official will penalize the other team. That's what liberalism basically is.
Once you get past the silliness of playing hockey (or as Europeans call it… "Ice Football") in June, or that LA even has a hockey team…. Stanley Cup two-fers are pretty neat.
I don't follow basketball save to root for the Lakers when I catch them on a TV I'm watching at the gym. (One of my best friends is a fan, so I root for the LA team, knowing their victory will help make her day.)
Until this week, I had never heard of Jason Collins, and assume the 34-year-old center must be a good basketball player, given that he been playing professionally for "12 seasons", including once "in a Final Four for Stanford and" twice in the "NBA Finals."
As usual when someone in the public eye out, you can expect overblown rhetoric for the various gay advocacy outfits with Aaron McQuade, the head of GLAAD's sports program, saying that Collins had put "courage" and "inspiration" into "a brand new context."
Give me a break. This is not 1973. Or even 1993. Ellen's coming out may have been big in the 1997, but now men and women, in most fields of endeavor, take it for granted that one of their colleagues is (or might be) gay.
Talking about Collins's call a few days ago "to share the news with" him, Boston Celtics player and (the Collins's former) coach said:
When he called me to tell me, you could tell he wanted to tell me. I told him before he said it, 'Jason I could care less about what you're about to tell me.' And that's how I feel. I honestly feel that way.
It's a non-factor to me, and I know it is a factor to a lot of people. I've never understood why anyone cares what someone else does. And I told Jason that it will be a non-issue eventually, but it will not be right now.
Leave it to an athlete to say it better than a professional gay advocate. It's not an non-issue now because Collins is the first professional athlete to come up while still playing. But, it should be one. The coach is right to note that no one should really care about an athlete's sexuality. It's as irrelevant to his performance as his hair color.
No wonder Bruce Bawer urges Collins to "say no" to the gay outfits who want to make him their "spokesrobot."* Don't let him fall into spouting the same kind of bromides as Mr. McQuade offered. (more…)
To follow up on my post of a couple weeks ago on gay athletes in the 21st century, these news items may be of interest.
First, NBA center Jason Collins comes out. Interestingly, he has a twin who is straight. (Studies show that identical twins are somewhat likely, but far from guaranteed, to have the same orientation.) His article has a few odd political shots in it; I wonder if they come from his co-writer?
Next, kicker Alan Gendreau didn't get drafted. But not many kickers are drafted, so that may be small news. Gendreau was the first openly-gay player to enter the NFL draft. The Newsbusters article (hat tip Peter H) mentions ABC News' role in having publicized Gendreau for reasons of political advocacy.
UPDATE: Caught a few minutes of Rush, who predicts that the NFL will soon come out with at least two gay players… because they have to trump the NBA.
I hope he's right. I mean, can we please get the coming-out-in-sports process over with? Like I said in my earlier post, in 1993 or 2003 I cared about celebrities' "brave personal journeys" in coming out, but it's 2013 now. The sooner done and forgotten, the better.
I'm late in getting to this, but last week on NBC's Today, Matt Lauer said:
It's interesting that in 2013, with attitudes towards homosexuality changing so dramatically in this country, there isn't a single major athlete in a major professional sport playing right now who has come out and said, 'I'm gay.' Why is that?…
I have a possible answer, and a new question.
My answer is: For much the same reason that straight athletes don't come out and say "I'm straight." It's irrelevant. Not every activity or field is one where the customers (spectators) need any information about the producers' (athletes') personal lives.
Part of what we love about athletes is their focus on something wonderfully beyond themselves: which is the sport, the game, the discipline it takes to be a winning athlete. Call me crazy, but I find it distasteful when any athlete, gay or straight, insists on my knowing whom they 'like' or are dating. I only care about their dedication to (and success with) their sport.
Which brings me to my question: why, in 2013, would Lauer think this is important? This isn't the 1980s, wherein gays had to battle sodomy laws, or the total absence of gay-straight alliances at schools, or certain professional bans. Today we even have States scrambling to support gay marriage. Lauer's question itself assumes there are lots of gay pro athletes – so, no real job discrimination.
I must admit that I thought like Lauer did in, say, 1993. Some years later, I came into the 21st century. Join me, Matt!
(Hat tip: reader Peter H.)
President Obama thinks the bad actions of a few individuals in Penn State's football program is some kind of national crisis requiring the "entire country to do some soul-searching":
President Obama called for the nation to do some "soul searching" in the wake of a scandal at Penn State University that led to the firing of longtime coach Joe Paterno after it was revealed one of his assistants allegedly sexually abused eight boys and the team did little to stop it.
"Obviously what happened was heartbreaking, especially for the victims, the young people who got affected by these alleged assaults," he told Westwood One Radio in a Friday night interview, making his first public comments on the scandal.
"And I think it's a good time for the entire country to do some soul-searching — not just Penn State. People care about sports, it's important to us, but our No. 1 priority has to be protecting our kids. And every institution has to examine how they operate, and every individual has to take responsibility for making sure that our kids are protected."
One assistant coach behaved very, very badly and should be locked up for the rest of his life. And those who knew and did not report this matter to authorities also deserve censure (at minimum) and perhaps punishment (depending on the laws in the Keystone State).
But, why must all Americans engage in soul-searching for a handful of individual bad actors? Is it this liberal mentality makes social problems of individual crimes?
This is a very revealing comment about the president's mentality. He would have been better served to respond as did Pennsylvania's junior senator. By all accounts, Joe Paterno was a first rate coach who handled this situation in a, well, less than professional manner.
Because this matter has received such prominence, perhaps it is appropriate for the president to comment, but to fault those at fault and express the disgust most Americans feel at the charges, but we're not the bad actors here. And we don't need engage in soul-searching for misdeeds we haven't committed.
An ESPN News Release
In a shocking turn of events, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reversed the results of the second round Kansas vs. Northern Iowa NCAA tournament game by deeming the Jayhawks to have passed to the next round.
"I like the procedure, because you don't have to win the game," Pelosi said.
Pelosi was reacting to Northern Iowa's upset of the number one seed overall Kansas, which President Obama had picked to win March Madness.
"There will be no busted Barack-ets this year," Pelosi said, as she made her way out of the Capital en route to a plastic surgery appointment.
"This kind of thing helps Barack get on with his legislative strategy when the Republican Party of No is just trying to defeat him and win the pick em game."
Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, said that he was going to filibuster Kansas' win.=
As you may have heard by now CBS has "rejected an ad submitted by a gay dating website to air during next Sunday's Super Bowl."
And all this hullabaloo has made me aware of mancrunch.com, a site with which I had heretofore been unfamiliar. Moreover, since I'm not going to be watching the Superbowl, I likely wouldn't have heard about them had CBS run the ad. So, if the site owner's purpose in proposing the ad were to draw attention to their site, they succeeded.
The ad shows two men making out. And according to the Hollywood Reporter that was too much for CBS:
The network shot down the commercial Friday in a letter to the site — ManCrunch.com — saying the "creative is not within the Network's Broadcast Standards for Super Bowl Sunday."
Also the network said its sales department had difficulty verifying the credit of the site to guarantee payment of the estimated $2.5 million cost to air the ad.
The ad seems a pretty low budget affair, so it doesn't appear the site has a lot of money to promote itself. CBS should have just left it at the creditworthiness of the company without raising the standards issue
Saying it did raise that issue, the network has given the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) grounds to fault the network. GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios said, "This network should come clean to the public about what's going on because this seems to be a homophobic double standard." Barrios is right to question the company.
Though, considering the questions about the company's ability to guarantee payment of the cost to air the ad, it does seem to be "a publicity stunt." A lot of gay people now know about the site.
So, I'm wondering if the same folks who sued eHarmony for not offering a service to match up gay people will sue Mancrunch for not offering to match up straight people or lesbians for that matter.
HEADS-UP: In the comments section of the Newsbusters piece on the hullabaloo, a very smart young man defends CBS on capitalist grounds. You should be able to identify him by the quality of his arguments and the name of his family.
And it seems the Democrats are having trouble grasping what is happening in their backyard. Must be par for the course in this postpartisan era. As Peggy wrote yesterday:
The people are here, and he is there. The popularity of his health-care plan is very low, at 35% support. Someone on television the other day noted it is as low as George Bush's popularity ratings in 2008.
Yet—and this is the key part—the president does not seem to see or hear. He does not respond. He is not supple, able to hear reservations and see opposition and change tack. He has a grim determination to bull this thing through. He negotiates each day with Congress, not with the people. But the people hate Congress! Has he not noticed?
And Mrs. Coakley? Has she not noticed that the people in Massachusetts revere their Red Sox, finding Fenway Park at almost sacred place? And that Curt Schilling once pitched for the team, helping them win, in 2004, their first World Series in nearly a century? He'd help them repeat the feat in 2007 when he became "only the second pitcher over the age of 40 to start and win a World Series game".
Must have been too cold that day for the then-Attorney General of Massachusetts to attend the game. She must have missed the standing ovation Fenway Park fans gave their beloved pitcher.
In response to Coakley's labeling him a Yankees' fan, Schilling quipped:
Never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn't know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could.
(H/t Jim Geraghty.)
I am shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of Philadelphia Phillies sportscaster and broadcast legend Harry Kalas. It is fitting however that he died behind the sports microphone — doing what he loved. What a great way to go.
His voice is known by anyone who followed the Phillies or saw numerous shows produced by NFL Films. He also did sportscasting work for CBS Radio and Westwood One network.
For me, this is like the passing of a family friend. He was like your favorite uncle who you watched baseball games with on TV. Kalas' voice was distinct, legendary and memorable; and he was an American classic.
If God has a baseball game scheduled today in Heaven, he has the best sportscaster to call the game with him now.
Rest In Peace, Harry.

… to Sadomasochistic Fascists... (h/t – The Corner)
Formula One's governing body is keeping its distance from sexual allegations in a British tabloid newspaper about its president, Max Mosley. This is a matter between Mr. Mosley and the paper in question," an International Automobile Federation (FIA) spokesman said. We understand that Mr. Mosley's lawyers are now in contact with that newspaper and the FIA has no comment."
The News of the World reported in a front page story that FIA president Mosley, 67, had taken part in a "sadomasochistic orgy" with five prostitutes that reportedly involved Nazi role-playing. According to a story posted by the London-based Times Online on Monday, Mosley and others "re-enacted a concentration camp scene in which he played the role of both guard and inmate."
Hey, but at least Mosley has some family connections to the authentic Fascists of old…
Mosley is the son of the late Oswald Mosley, founder of the pre-war British Union of Fascists. Mosley is married with two sons. He has been president of the FIA since 1993.
Methinks Mosley would do well to hire one of Bill Clinton's Monica-era attorneys.

A big and hearty wish of good luck to the guys from Davidson College. Â
Charlotte is abuzz this weekend with Final Four mania — for UNC Tarheels, of course — but also for the Cinderella team from Davidson! It is going to be a tough battle for the Wildcats today in Detriot as they go up against Kansas for a spot in the NCAA Final Four.
But our whole city is behind Davidson and we know they will do their college and our state proud today no matter what the outcome.
UPDATE: Well, Kansas was just too much for Davidson, but the Wildcats stayed in it until the final buzzer. Kansas – 59, Davidson – 57. Now it is time for the UNC Tarheels to mop up the floor with Kansas in the Semifinal game.

Have the French figured out how much they suck yet? The rest of the world has.

I have more exciting news about our expanding GayPatriot family. This week we have a special "Revolving BlogPatriot" who will be covering Super Bowl XL activities from Detroit, Michigan.
(drum roll)
It is none other than Mike, a.k.a. "republic of m". Here's a brief bio of Mike that he sent to me earlier today.
I am Mike and I am a Michigander thru and thru. Born and raised in the Flint area (yes in the same area that Michael Moore grew up. No one likes him there either), I have lived in Metro Detroit since 2000. I attended the University of Michigan, where I double majored in History and Anthropology. I was briefly married (yes to a woman, I know it was a mistake), but I am actually gay, and currently single – I know this isn't a personals ad, but hey you never know. I am 31 and love anything and everything about politics, which is why I started RepublicOfM.com (feel free to visit). If you would like to know anything else, my e-mail address is in the sidebar to your right.
Welcome Mike, and we are looking forward to his reports from the Motor City during this Super Week. (With photos to come, too!!)

Congratulations to the NCAA National Football Champions Texas Longhorns!
So sorry to those over confident and typically smug California fans of the 'over the hill' USC Trojans. Boo, hoo, hoo!!.
Texas owns the White House and now the College Pigskin Crown. Woo hooo!
I'm gonna eat a big Texas steak (and not a frilly California avacado salad) tonight in honor of the new National Champs!

My new hometown team, the Carolina Panthers, are eyeing a trip to Detroit for the Super Bowl after an impressive win yesterday against the New Orleans Saints (exiled to Baton Rouge).
From recovering from a suspected case of food poisoning, to last-second tweaks to the playbook, to playing a make-shift team with a new quarterback in its make-shift home, to catching some breaks from the outside, everything went perfectly for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Steve Smith scored twice and the defense came up with four interceptions as the Panthers moved back into sole possession of first place in the NFC South with a 27-10 victory against the New Orleans Saints at Tiger Stadium.
-Bruce (GayPatriot)
In what has become more the norm than not, my personal investment in the NCAA Road to the Final Four has come to an abrupt end.
The Syracuse Orangemen (#4 seed) were shocked last night by the 13th-seeded Vermont Catamounts. What the hell is a Catamount anyway? Not that our mascot doesn't look very dopey too. *grin*
I'm confident that the Syracuse alumni email discussion board will be buzzing today with calls to get rid of hapless coach Jim Boeheim. Yes, he wins a lot of games. Yes he does have a (translation: ONE) National Championship under his belt. But man he sure does have a knack for coaching a team each year that chokes in the first or second rounds of the NCAA tournament!
I guess I'll tune back in when it is down to the Final Four. Ugh!

Chef Fred Neuville is excited to embark on his first solo venture. "With Fat Hen, I am striving to create a neighborhood restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and signature French-inspired Southern cuisine," he says.

Fat Hen's main dishes center around innovative French classics with Low country cuisine. The Braised Chicken features locally raised free-range chicken braised in red wine with rich bacon lardons, pearl onions & mushrooms.

- Romantic/ Special occasionOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/29/2014Awesome fried green tomatoes (with goat cheese pimento), salmon, flounder and shrimp and grits were fabulous! The she crab soup was the best I've ever had! Fresh cream and the sherry wasn't too overpowering.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always fabulous!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014We try to go to Fat Hen every time we are in town from VA. The food is extraordinary, drinks are creative and the service is outstanding. We always get the cheese board, duck confit, and definitely save room for dessert. Loved the Blackberry Pot de Creme!Special Features:

- fabulousNaptownDined on 8/27/2014Four of us had wonderful dinners. Coq au Vin (very rich), Grouper and Short Rib. Fried green tomato appetizer was perfect. Smoked beet salad awesome. Loved everything including the Low Country Lemonade cocktail. Only complaint is that it is very noisy.Special Features:
- Excellent Excellent Excellent food!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014Main room too noisy. Porch area perfect for visiting at the table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fat Hen FailOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/26/2014This visit to Fat Hen was at 7:30pm and we had reservations for my girlfriend's birthday. We were seated in the "add-on" enclosed patio right next to the storm door leading outside. And that door was quite busy all night. Really? I tell you this is for a birthday and you sit us on the porch by the door? Noise level ratings are "Quite, Moderate, and Energetic". When did Energetic replace Loud? This place is loud...along with most restaurants in the South that feel the need to cram as many tables and chairs next to one another as possible, with no sound dampening decor. Not happy, and not going back for a while.
- Why go into CharlestonSpmyDined on 8/25/2014The food here is as good as many of the well known downtown spots, but in a more casual setting and at better prices. Servers really know the food and can help steer you to choices that fit your preferences while hitting the chef's high points Entree portions are very generous, so split appetizers Shrimp and crab, lamb shank, and braised rib were top notch. Beef tartare was made from an off-cut and was too chewySpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/25/2014noise level was so bad that we could not have a conversation without yelling and even though the food may have been good with the exception of the sides, which were really quite like a mom & pops type. I would not return because of the noise level. It was quite unsettling , when our expectations were of a nice quite dinner with a french flair. It was very much like the neighborhood steakhouse. I left with a headache and slightly upset stomach the noise was really irritating. and this was on a Monday night.Special Features:
- 2.50 per shrimp?FoodygirlDined on 8/24/2014I have always had great experiences at the fat hen. This time, however, I asked the waiter if I could add grilled shrimp to a salad. He responded, " how many shrimp would you like?" I was perplexed by this question and he quickly explained that they charge $2.50 per individual shrimp.... ??....Needless to say, I revised my order and got the salad that already came wth shrimp. After I observed the size of the shrimp that were on that salad, I was even more confused, as they were medium sized shrimp at best. Fat Hen will always be one of my favorite restaurants with great food and service.. I just found this large shrimp fee very strange.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for making her birthday a success. Even to her food allergies.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The FABulous Fat Hen!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014We continue to be impressed by the Fat Hen. We consider the food to be the best-prepared, the freshest farm-to-table, and most aesthetically-presented dishes in the greater Charleston area. The Grouper with field beans, Coq au Vin, the Mussels (do get the large, they are perfectly done), and even the burger for a quickbuger...soooo delicious!!! The very dedicated staff provide knowlegeable suggestions on pairing wines with meals. We make a point to eat there 1-2 times a month. But for lots of travel away, we would eat at the Fat Hen even more frequently.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HoneyDined on 8/21/2014The food was good. I think the waiter must have been new. He wasnot very familiar with the wine list. The noise level was so high that you could hardly carry on a conversation. Way too noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, noisy dining.beourguestDined on 8/20/2014This was my 2nd visit. Seated immediately with reservations. Served quickly. Food delicious. Curried mussels were excellent.

- Fabulous Dining at Fat HenGburgfoodieDined on 8/20/2014This was our first visit and we had a great dining experience. Very laid back homey atmosphere with terrific friendly service, great cocktails, and wonderful food. I loved the oyster appetizer with Benton ham. The sheephead fish special was delicious, as were the shrimp and grits. We will definitely be back next time in Kiawah.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent every timefriendoffoodDined on 8/19/2014We have been to the Fat Hen every time we vacation in the Charleston area and we have never been disappointed. They have great creativity for their meals and their staff is always well informed. I can't remember any portion of any meal where the food was exceptional. As long as their standards remain at this level we will also returnSpecial Features:
- A mixed reviewdonworVIPDined on 8/19/2014Excellent food, very but disappointing service. For my third meal at Fat Hen (I'm a seasonal visitor), my grouper was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our nervously courteous server, clearly new, and making allowances for this, it was apparent that he lacked training. We never got bread; our appetizer order was put in and brought out before we had even confirmed that we wanted it. We assumed that our wine would come before the meal, but we had to remind him about it after our meal arrived. To his credit, he was very helpful in finding an entree which my friend (with a serious food allergy) could eat. The noise level with 2 families with children nearby made conversation difficult, and as a parent & former teacher, I'm tolerant of kids.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best meal ever!JohnsIslandGalDined on 8/18/2014The title says it all: quite possibly the best meal I have ever had! Fat Hen is amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular AgainArmstrong56Dined on 8/18/2014Had a wonderful experience at Fat Hen. My spouse has an allergy and the waitstaff could not have been more attentive to her needs. The kitchen modified her entree and she loved it. The mussels as an appetizer are always a standing order for us when dining at the Fat Hen.Special Features:

- LOVED it!mb25Dined on 8/16/2014The food at Fat Hen was excellent!! One of my favorite dining experiences for both food and ambiance. We sat outside, which had music playing and felt pretty private. For our appetizer, we got the pistou steamed mussels, which were incredible and probably my favorite part of the meal. We got the duck and coq au vin for dinner and they were both great. The wine we ordered was also delicious and the service was great. :)Special Features:

- A Hidden Gem on Johns IslandcperrydineDined on 8/11/2014Delicious meals start with fresh food and attention to detail, like the food served at the Fat Hen. In addition to an interesting menu, our server was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. When one of the guests in our group asked to substitute a side on the entree. our server offered several good choices as well as discouraged other options. "That just doesn't work together," she offered. The Fat Hen menu has something for everyone, including those that want to explore their food fantasies as well as those that want a "skinny chicken" treat. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you want to have a timely dinner, make sure that you have a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fat Hen CommentsFFanDined on 8/8/2014When we travel to Folly Beach on vacation each year, dinner at Fat Hen is always a highlight (sometimes we go twice in the week). Fat Hen serves incredible entrées. The service is also great. The weak spot is the side dishes. For example, the duck I ordered was wonderful, but the side of garlic spinach was only fair and the side of roasted diced sweet potato was poor. My daughter really enjoys the creamed corn, but it is basically just corn with some cream and a lot of butter. Overall, they do a great job but I would enjoy it more with more focus on the side dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must be goodReg2ChucktownDined on 8/7/2014It's apparent that Fat Hen is a restaurant to try and visit as frequently as possible. We always try to eat there when visiting Charleston, but without a reservation, it's either too early or too late to eat there. I would not suggest a late night dinner unless you work the graveyard shift and tend to be on your feet all night long. The food is varied and delicious and ample. One comment for improvement would be for a menu item of a vegetable plate to take advantage of all the great vegetables. It appears all the meals are selected items but substitution is available. I would suggest a visit to the Fat Hen when in Charleston. The food is great and the price moderate. Give it a try and then you'll become a regular!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We tried both the French onion and she crab as well as the escargot. While the she crab was good the French onion and escargot were not. Soggy bread and rushed gratine' as well as over salted escargot grit didn't make for good start to our experience. Mains were rib, pork chop, Coq au vin, and snapper. We overheard the waitstaff tell another table that the bbq rib was the best in the state...it was not. The sauce for the rib way too sweet "pom frittes" soggy. The snapper good, beurre blanc good but the rest was thrown together. (Bean medley) Chop was excellent and coq au vin was very good. In my opinion restaurant is overrated.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The fans came to see Carl Crawford and went home talking about Ryan Lavarnway.
Crawford, in his first of two rehab games with Pawtucket, reached base in all three of his at-bats during PawtucketŌĆÖs 3-2 win over Durham on Friday night. He blooped a single over the second basemanŌĆÖs head in the first, walked in the third, and reached on a fielderŌĆÖs choice in the fifth, scoring one batter later when Lavarnway crushed a home run down the left field line that cleared everything, bouncing around in the parking lot as the crowd collectively murmured ŌĆ£Who is this guy?ŌĆØ
BURRILLVILLE ŌĆö Down by four runs and staring at a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the bottom of the second inning, Cumberland American showed the heart of a champion and staged a marvelous comeback that landed the ballclub the District IV Major Division title.
Connor Mastin and Stephen Dugas each bashed a pair of home runs and Max Hanuschak delivered five superb innings of relief to help CALL win a 12-6 slugfest with neighboring rival Lincoln on Friday night before a packed house at Sherman Park.
Very few people see batting practice anymore. Big league parks usually donŌĆÖt open their gates in time for the fans to witness this baseball ritual. The gates were open at McCoy Stadium on Friday afternoon but only a smattering of fans were in the stands when rehabbing Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford stepped into the cage and took swings with his temporary PawSox teammates.
RIVERSIDE ŌĆō Their pitchers might not have thrown as hard and their batters might not have had the same pop, but when it came to throwing strikes and make plays in the field, no one was better than Cumberland National.
Cumberland was spotless defensively and pitchers Sydney Provencal and Katerina Kent allowed only seven base runners the entire game as the offense took advantage of two errors in a 3-0 win over East Greenwich to claim the Rhode Island Major Division Softball Championship Friday night.
PAWTUCKET -- Brandon DuckworthŌĆÖs frustrating two-month stretch without a victory came to a merciful end on Thursday night.
The veteran Pawtucket Red Sox starting pitcher handcuffed the Durham Bulls to seven hits in 6 2/3 innings of work and his teammates did all their offensive damage in the fourth inning to grab a 3-2 triumph at McCoy Stadium.
The victory was the fourth in a row and the eighth in the last 10 teams for the surging PawSox, who are now a season-high 10 games over .500 (51-41) and tied for the International League wild card lead with the Gwinnett Braves.
EAST GREENWICH --- Jamison Randall has already proven in his young career that heŌĆÖs a golfer with unlimited potential.
On Thursday afternoon at the R.I. Amateur Championship, he also proved he has the heart that goes with it.
Randall wasnŌĆÖt able to advance to todayŌĆÖs quarterfinal matches, but the recent Cumberland High grad gave two-time champion Brad Valois all he could handle during match play of the Round of 16 at the Potowomut Country Club.
PAWTUCKET -- ItŌĆÖs been nine years since Carl Crawford last played a game at McCoy Stadium, but the Boston Red Sox left fielder will be in Pawtucket tonight and tomorrow for a brief injury rehab assignment with the Pawtucket Red Sox.
Crawford will start in left on both nights when the PawSox host the Durham Bulls, and if all goes well this weekend, he is expected to be back in the Red SoxŌĆÖs lineup on Monday when they head to Baltimore to face the Orioles.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Former Pawtucket Little League baseball star Mason Williams is off to a fast start with the Staten Island Yankees of the New York Penn League.
Williams, son of ex-Patriots wide receiver Derwin Williams, and a fourth-round draft pick of the New York Yankees last summer, is batting .363 for Staten Island after 102 ABs.
The 6-foot, 150-pound centerfielder boasts a .539 slugging percentage.
Williams, still only 19 years old, played for Darlington American Little League before his family moved to Florida seven years ago.
While most kids his age were down at the beach soaking up some rays the past two days, Jamison Randall was at Potowomut Country Club playing with some of the top amateur golfers in Rhode Island.
And, after a shaky opening start, the recent Cumberland High grad and individual state champion has manufactured a pair of solid rounds at the 106th annual R.I. Amateur Championship.
LINCOLN ŌĆö On their way to posting undefeated records in pool play of the District IV Little League All Star Tournament, Cumberland American and Lincoln combined to outscore their opponents by an 87-12 margin.
After their respective semifinal games on Tuesday night at Hien Field, the two powerhouse teams kept their records unblemished.
But it wasn't quite that easy.

The Bourse
A historic building on Independence Mall with a food court and specialty shops
The Shops at The Bourse
Located adjacent to Philadelphia's historic Independence Mall (directly across the Mall from The Liberty Bell Center), The Bourse offers a convenient resting spot while you sight-see. The 105-year-old Victorian building — listed on the National Register of Historic Places — houses a food court and specialty shops.
Looking to pick up a souvenir from your Philadelphia trip? The Bourse is the place, with several gift shops on the premises.
Lunch options include an authentic Philly cheesesteak, pizza or a classic deli sandwich, in addition to Mexican, Japanese and Japanese options. And if you're visiting Historic Philadelphia as a group, consider the Box Lunch program, in which you work with a Bourse food court vendor to plan the right meal for your group. Click here to learn more.
So while you tour Historic Philadelphia, definitely make a stop at The Bourse, whether for a bite, a shopping break or just to explore the historic building.
The concept of The Bourse — meaning a "place of exchange" — was brought to Philadelphia in 1890 by George E. Bartol, a prosperous Philadelphia grain and commodities exporter. The Philadelphia Bourse Building, the first commodities exchange in the United States, was completed in 1895. The building was one of the first steel-framed buildings to ever be constructed.
Kaiserman Company, Inc. purchased The Philadelphia Bourse Building in 1979, renaming it "The Bourse" and adapting it as a retail and office complex.
Celebrating more than 100 years as a center for commerce and trade, The Bourse is now one of Philadelphia's leading commercial complexes, home to 24 retail and food service stores and more than 50 businesses.

Temperatures today are running 15º + cooler than average. The average high is near 85 degrees, but we will be lucky to reach 70 degrees this afternoon. It will be a cool Tuesday evening, with temperatures falling into the upper 50s just before midnight.
Skies will be clear overnight and it will be chilly for the middle part of July. We are forecasting lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s. These numbers are near record levels. The record low for Wednesday is 49 degrees set in 1945.
It will be a clear start to Wednesday, with clouds building in the afternoon. Temperatures will climb into the middle 60s by noon and into the lower 70s Wednesday afternoon. A stray shower is possible, but we are only forecasting a couple to show up on radar.
Lot of sunshine is in the forecast for Thursday and Friday. A gradual warming trend is on the way for the end of the week. Highs will be in the middle 70s on Thursday and the upper 70s on Friday. The 80s are back for the weekend.

Lutter, arguably most discussed for presenting UFC champion Anderson Silva his toughest challenge in the UFC, spent the majority of the first two rounds on top of MacDonald. But besides choke attempts, Lutter hesitated in striking MacDonald on the ground.
"I just felt like he was always on the verge on getting away," said Lutter. "I need to go home and drill in that position."
Still, Lutter was able to score a takedown and attempt a rear-naked choke in each of the two rounds.
"Once he gets you there it's very hard to get out of there," MacDonald said. "He's world class on the ground."
MacDonald won the third round by putting the weary Lutter down to work ground and pound punches. But it was too late and ultimately lost on all the scorecards 28-29.
MFC lightweight champion Antonio McKee told FanHouse coming into the fight that he would shed his reputation of going to decisions by taking the chance to stand and strike with opponent Carlo Prater.
It only took 30 seconds for McKee to revert to what he does best: wrestle. McKee shot in and rained down punches to cut open Prater. Things went the same way through all three rounds and McKee won the unanimous decision – his 18th career decision win.
"I'm disappointed in myself cause I really would have like to have ended this fight with a submission or a knockout," McKee said. "So I would like to apologize to the fans in Canada. I got to keep training hard and get more comfortable or the next couple of fights I might have to hang it up."
Luigi Fioravanti was the one recognized for having heavy hands, but Xtreme Couture's John Alessio demonstrated his punching power too, knocking out Fioravanti with a right hand at 1:34 of the third round. Alessio wasn't gunning for the knockout for the majority of the fight though, as he spend much of the fight punching and then backing off to avoid Fioravanti's counterpunches.
"The gameplan was to go in there and kill him with footwork," Alessio said. "Try to move around – he still landed some big shots on me. He took me into deep water until I landed that knockout."
Alessio actually landed the knockout with his head down and swinging a one-two combo. It wasn't necessarily pretty but it worked out for him and Alessio improved to 26-13 and could be headed towards a shot at Pat Healy's welterweight belt.
The Ultimate Fighter 3's Mike Nickels tapped out David Heath in a wild and nonsensical slugfest. Health had no respect for Nickels' punching power the entire time, leaving his hands by his waist, and at one point in the third around stood as a punching bag with his hands down to give Nickels eight free punches. With less than 90 seconds left in the round, the two began to grapple and the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt Nickels applied the rear-naked choke for the submission win at 4:02.
According to CompuStrike, Nickels threw 265 punches and landed 129.
The Ultimate Fighter 8 contestant Ryan Jimmo notched his eleventh straight win with a split decision over full-time corrections officer Marvin Eastman. It was a close fight spent primarily in clinch and Jimmo was awarded the decision for landing more strikes in clinch. Jimmo scored a takedown in the second round only to be reversed, and Eastman earned his takedown in third with a body lock throw into Jimmo's halfguard.
The final scores were in favor of Jimmo 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28.
Pete Spratt finally won one in Canada, knocking out local up-and-comer Nathan Gunn at 4:19 of the second round.
Spratt's weakness in grappling remained well apparent, giving up his back several times and being taken down four times. But Spratt has always been known for his striking and when he's able to keep the fight standing that's where he is dangerous.
The first round belonged to Gunn with his wrestling and ground control. In the second, Spratt was able to connect, first rocking Gunn with a right hook and then following with a combination of punches in an attempt to finish. Gunn weathered the storm and brought the fight to the floor. But once Spratt escaped to his feet, all he needed was a wild uppercut to flatten Gunn face first onto the mat.
Spratt improved to 20-15, snapping a two-fight losing streak, while the Gunn loses for the first time in his career after seven straight wins.

Saying goodbye not easy for those who raise service dogs
Photos/David Lyne
"It's going to be hard, but it will be worthwhile knowing that Graves will be serving someone who needs help," Warrenton resident Zelinsky Michelle says of giving up the service dog she has raised.
Georgiana Watt and Andrews get together for a play date with Graves and Ms. Zelinsky. They must give up the dogs early next month.
Want to raise a pup?
An informational open house on becoming a CCI puppy raiser will take place 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, at the Middleburg American Legion post at 111 The Plains Road. For information, call 800-572-BARK (2275) or visit
Michelle Zelinsky and Georgiana Watt get little twinges when they look at calendars.
Nov. 9 approaches rapidly. On that day, the Fauquier women must relinquish young dogs they have raised since puppyhood for Canine Companions for Independence, the nation's largest provider of service dogs.
For almost 18 months, Ms. Zelinsky from Warrenton and Ms. Watt from The Plains have provided food, shelter, health care and "lots of love" for the yellow Labrador-golden retriever mixes. They also have taught the dogs 30 basic behavior commands and social skills.
"This is the most enjoyable thing I've ever done," says Ms. Zelinsky, a single, 50-year-old government contractor. "I've done other volunteering, but this has been the most rewarding. It combines my love of dogs with the ability to help people who are less fortunate than I."
Ms. Watt says: "I love animals. I train horses, so I figured I could train a puppy."
Both women decided to volunteer as puppy raisers after attending an April 2011 public awareness event for CCI in Middleburg. They didn't know each other then.
After applying to CCI, each woman had a telephone interview with a CCI staffer from the organization's northeastern regional headquarters in Medford, Long Island, N.Y.
In June 2011, Ms. Zelinsky drove to New York to get her 8-month-old male pup, Graves. The following month, Ms. Watt got Andrews, half-brother to Graves.
"I had to go through a two-to-three-hour interview before I even met Andrews," says Ms. Watt. "The people at CCI are very professional, so they can determine fairly quickly if you would be suitable as a puppy raiser."
Andrews and Graves are among six CCI dogs being raised in Fauquier County. Ellen Turop, a regional director for CCI, says Fauquier volunteers have raised 15 dogs over the years. More than 65 percent of the CCI the volunteers raise multiple dogs.
Graves and Andrews are the first raised by Ms. Zelinsky and Ms. Watt. Both women want to do it again.
"I'm really hoping to come home with another puppy on Nov. 9, when I turn in Andrews," says Ms. Watt. "I haven't learned yet if one will be available."
Ms. Zelinsky says she may wait until her unemployed status changes before taking on another pup.
Training the pups
The commands Andrews and Graves have learned while in the care of their raisers include: sit, down, stay, speak (one bark), heel (to the person's left), side (to the person's right), car (get in the car), under (lie under a table), roll over and 21 more.
In addition to the at-home training, Ms. Watt and Ms. Zelinsky take their dogs twice a month to a CCI obedience school in Middleburg.
"It's a very supportive group," says Ms. Zelinsky. "If I'm having some trouble getting Graves to obey a particular command, I get tips and advice. It really helps."
The puppy trainers teach social skills by taking their dogs to work and to public places such as restaurants and stores. During those outings and in obedience sessions, the young dogs wear yellow vests that identify them as CCI dogs in training. (Fully trained dogs serving disabled people wear blue CCI vests.)
"When he's wearing the vest, Graves knows he's on the job and is well-behaved," says Ms. Zelinsky. "The rest of the time, he's just like any other young dog."
On a recent afternoon, Graves had a "play date" with Andrews at Ms. Watt's home off Zulla Road in northern Fauquier. Tails began wagging rapidly as soon as the dogs saw one another, but each stayed at his handler's side until being taken off leash. They ran side-by-side in an explosion of energy across an expansive lawn, wrestled playfully and had a tug-of-war with a dog toy.
"They need this time together, to burn off some energy," says Ms. Watt.
The final phase
Once Andrews and Graves reach 18 months, they must be returned to the CCI regional headquarters in Medford for six months of advanced training, learning more than 60 task commands from professional instructors. During that time, each dog gets evaluated for its ability to serve someone with lasting physical limitations caused by injury or disease.
"Our standards are exceedingly high," says John Bentzinger, a CCI public affairs officer. "Only about four out of 10 actually make it through the program."
Dogs that fail to earn certification get offered to other programs, such as companions for wounded veterans or courtroom comfort dogs for children under the stress of testifying. Dogs that go unplaced can be adopted by their puppyhood trainers.
CCI matches each successful dog with a disabled client on a waiting list. Clients spend two weeks at the Medford facility, learning commands and meeting the dogs that will go into service. After service dogs and clients are matched, a graduation ceremony takes place, with puppy trainers in attendance.
Saying goodbye to the dogs after 18 months of bonding is emotional for puppy raisers.
"It's going to be hard, but it will be worthwhile knowing that Graves will be serving someone who needs help," says Ms. Zelinsky.
Still, Nov. 9 looms large. The puppy raisers have to fill out some forms and send them to CCI in advance of the day of parting with Graves and Andrew.
"I filled them out and mailed them right away," says Ms. Watt, looking down and shaking her head. "I had to get it done and get them out of the house."
Ms. Zelinsky confesses to procrastination.
"The forms are on a table (at home). I just haven't been able to bring myself to filling them out yet," she says with a sigh.
Asked if they will travel together to Medford on Nov. 9, Ms. Zelinsky says, "No. I'm taking my mother with me for support."

Oh gosh, your kids are, too!
The set... yeah, everyone asks about the set, but get ready for the painful part: I got it five years ago on ebay for $30! And that picture shows little more than half of it. I check for it from time to time, but I've never seen any deal like that since. Oh yeah, and it came with it's own wooden box that fits perfectly under things (chairs, tables, etc.) - go ahead, hate me, everyone who sees it does.
Bummer about the set. My kids love to set up animals in all sorts of arrangements, and that set look sssooooo inspiring!
majikfaerie - my kids are obsessed with your dd's heart transplant song! Often when my Jonas see's I'm on MDC he comes and bugs me till I let him watch it again. It's really, really cute.
I have lots of photos on my blog also. Not too many of my almost 13 year old as he is camera shy these days. This is a great thread.
