The Start Of A New Beginning
Hey folks,
A few days from now I will be heading to Los Angeles to fulfil my lifelong dream of working in the film industry. While I'm still having a hard time believing it, I was fortunate enough to get offered an internship with a major film production company, located in the movie capitol of the world. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I hope you'll follow me on my journey as I document the stories, projects, and adventures that I'm so eagerly waiting to start.
A big thank you to everyone that has helped me get to where I am today.

Valentine's Day isn't just for the human species! Animals at Brookfield Zoo enjoyed heart-shaped treats on Cupid's holiday.
The animal programs staff for the Chicago Zoological society is always thinking of ways to physically and mentally stimulate the animals at the zoo. One such way is by providing them with a variety of enrichment and food items they normally do not receive on a regular basis.
The bottlenose dolphins and grey seals devoured ice treats, while the western lowland gorillas gorged on nutritious heart-shaped cookies made of ground primate biscuit, oatmeal, bananas, raisins, and peanut butter.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
Well, it appears Major League Baseball is finally going to do something about the Biogenesis clinic scandal. ESPN is reporting that the league plans to suspend Ryan Braun, Alex Rodriguez and about 20 other players after next week's All-Star break. Major League Baseball started building cases against the players last month after Tony Bosch, the owner of the clinic began cooperating with investigators. To this point, the league has interviewed some players, including Braun in connection to what Bosch has told them. Braun reportedly met with baseball officials on June 29 and refused to answer any questions about his connection to Bosch during that meeting. Meanwhile, Rodriguez has not been interviewed, but is expected to meet with officials within the week. Commissioner Bud Selig's office is now expected to suspend Braun and Rodriguez and a group of about 20 players at some point after the All-Star break. Reports have also said that the commissioner's office was considering 100-game b...

Lawton, Okla._Another movie theater is in the works for the City of Lawton. The proposed theater cleared its first hurdle Thursday.
The city planning commission approved the development of the theater that would be on 67th and Rogers Lane, just north of Walmart.
The project would involve adding two new traffic lights. One would be in front of the north entrance to the Grayson's Mountain neighborhood on 67th. The developer would pay for that installation. The other would be put up at 67th and Rogers, and that would be paid for by the city.
Several steps will need to be taken before final plans are presented. The next move will be to get approval from the Lawton City Council.
If the council approves, the project would likely open around Christmas next year. The developer said, eventually, a shopping center and new restaurants would be added to the development.

Seeing a guy getting a boner at a nude beach
do you girls really enjoy looking at a guy's dick getting hard and erect at a nude beach or do you try to avoid looking at it ?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Has happened and NO we just smile and giggle to ourselves. Have to admit that as many guys as I have been with over the years, my day on a nude beach absolutely amazed me at the different sizes, shapes, colors of the penis's I saw. Was a fun day to say the least
Truly disgusting....
What Girls Said 6
I've been to the nude beach on Nantucket, and I just looked away the rare time one passed by. I was there for the sun and waves, not to peep at penises. Though I will admit that the first time I went, it was a bit fascinating. But I never stared. It's rude to be blatantly hard, and it's rude to stare.
I wouldn't necessarily avoid looking, but I wouldn't stare, because nude beaches aren't there for people to go and ogle each other. They're there for people who enjoy being naked. There's not really anything sexual about it.
Nude beaches are really for people ogle each other. Like what kind of guys do you think go there? Hm, let me think about that one, guys that just want to see t*ts and ass and the guys that want to show off there junk. Also, what kind of girls go there, the sluts! The one's that just want to show off what they got! I think nude beaches are completely disgusting!!!!
I think your head is in the sand, so to speak. You must be the one person in a million who doesn't go to nude beaches to look and/or show off in addition to the "freedom" of being nude in public, which seems to be the party line. You can enjoy the freedom of nudity in your own home without going to a public beach. My nipples don't get hard in a breeze, and God forbid if a woman gets turned on by a man; it must be the wind! (BTW are your comments always that patronizing?)
That's obviously not really the point. The point is that nude beaches aren't INTENDED to be sexual. They're about enjoying the freedom of nudity. Whether people stare at each others' naked bodies or get turned on or not is totally irrelevant.Also, a woman having hard nipples isn't always an indication of arousal. It's called a breeze. Beaches are windy. Guys' nipples get hard too. Are you ALWAYS turned on when it happens? I doubt it.

I have been to a nude beach several times. I love seeing a guy hard. I watched as a guy sleeping next to me started to get an erection. My girlfriend and I just watched as he slowly got bigger. It kept bouncing to his heartbeat as it started pointing straight up. My friend giggled a little and he woke up. My friend dared me to go over to him and ask him to put lotion on me. I did and he was hard the entire time. It was a lot of fun.
Nice experience I would like to come with you too
Ugh, this is completely disgusting. The only kind of guys you will find at a nude beach are the ones that just want to see t*ts and ass and the ones who want to show off there junk. All they want is sex and to stare at naked girls. The kind of girls you'll find there are skanky ass hoes who just want guys to stare at them and the ones who have no respect or dignity. You guys are so disgusting!
- Show Older Hide Older
I have never been to a nude beach but if a man was becoming erect I would probably stare. I love the way a man looks naked especially when he is aroused. I would also wonder if he needed sunscreen. Maybe offer to apply it :) lol
Correction to my comment above:I love showing my penis to women at nude beaches, and I enjoy jogging or walking past them with my dick and balls bouncing around. It's great when you have an erection and a girl checks out your hard-on. (I have two balls, and I didn't know the word c**k was a no-no.)
a friend of mine and I go sometimes to get work on our tans and not have tan lines. we could careless about the nakedness in others. we laugh at the guys because they walk around touching themselve trying to walk around erect to show them off. like everyone is there to check everyone out like a bunch of dumb butts. I think that makes them look pathetic. you don't see the women stocking their nipples trying to show off how perky they are.
I've never been to a nude beach, but if I went to one I would definitely look. How can you not? I wouldn't comment though, not unless it was someone I knew.
Lol..yea you can't avoid;)
What Guys Said 4
I often go to nude beaches and sometimes get a very large erection, but so do lots of other guys. I don't think there is anything wrong with it so long as it's just nature behaving as nature does. It's also perfectly normal to walk along the waters edge with your penis and balls shaking from side to side, this also sometimes causes you to get a hard on. No problems.
I've been to nude beaches and have felt the initial rush of blood down there, but got very self-conscious and was able to control it. I absolutely love it when women look. Knowing now that women enjoy seeing an erection, I think the next time I will just let it happen.
Showing arousal like getting an erection is definitely bad form on a clothing optional beach. As was already mentioned, the nudity on a nude beach is not supposed to be sexual. Of course, we're human, and all nudity has some sexual aspect to is. This is one reason I don't go to the clothing optional beaches when I'm in Miami - I can't help but get hard, just being naked in front of all those people. I can walk around in a thong fine, but not there. I've modeled for art classes at a local college, and never had an issue there either.
Your ignorance continues. Nudity at a nude beach is not sexual.

Hundreds of women and girls are lacing up for the 20th Annual Charlottesville Four Miler Training Program. Program organizers and volunteers camped out at the ACAC facility in Albemarle Square Friday for early packet pickup and registration.
Runners will kick off the 11-week fitness regimen Saturday morning.
There are different levels of training, with the ultimate goal of getting active and being healthy.
"The biggest questions I get are 'Do I have to run four miles?' No, this is actually meant for people who are just coming out the couch. This is meant for people just coming out the door. That's actually what we say, the biggest thing you can do tomorrow is walk out the door," said Pam Whorley, training program director.
The group will meet every Saturday at 7 a.m. at the University of Virginia's Lannigan Field.
Anyone interested can still register until 7 p.m. tonight at ACAC or before training starts on Saturday mornings.
Registration will be open into July.

Feb 12th 2010 11:48AM I too have stainless steel appliances- refrigerator, stove and microwave. Using toxic and flammable substances to keep them shiny seems a bit extreme.

That applies for all IE users, including those working for companies where IE is mandatory, and patch deployment can be delayed by testing, or for fear of disrupting workflow. "I think that you should just determine for the corporation to trust Microsoft and their quality control" on the patches, Kandek said. "Browser patches are heavily tested by Microsoft, and unlikely to break any existing functionality on the desktop."
Microsoft could conceivably split IE from Windows with its newest browser, Internet Explorer 8, which reached "release candidate" status late last month. "IE8 would be a good opportunity," said Kandek.
Ironically, he may get his wish if the European Union has its way. The Competition Commission, the EU's antitrust agency, recently hit Microsoft with a new set of charges, this time concerning IE. On Jan. 15, the Commission said that by tying IE to Windows, Microsoft "distorts competition" in browsers and gives IE "an artificial distribution advantage" over rivals like Firefox, Apple Inc.'s Safari and Opera Software ASA's Opera.
"If the [Commission's] preliminary views were confirmed, the Commission would consider ordering Microsoft to give users an objective opportunity to choose which competing Web browser(s) instead of, or in addition to, Internet Explorer they wanted to install in Windows, and which one they wanted to have as default," said EU spokesman Jonathan Todd in an e-mail. "Microsoft could also be ordered to technically allow the user to disable Internet Explorer code should the user choose to install a competing browser."
Although IE's market share has been steadily shrinking -- under assault from Firefox, first of all, Safari second -- it accounted for about 68 percent of all browsers used last month, according to Internet metrics vendor Net Applications Inc.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- Changes are coming to the GED test in Wisconsin that could make it harder to pass the high school equivalency exam.
Willa MacKenzie is the jail educator from Western Technical College. She works with inmates at the La Crosse County Jail, in an effort to help them complete their GED. In 2012 and 2013 about 40 percent of those who started the exam, successfully competed it.
"The thing about the jail setting is they don't have that outside network of friends to deal with," MacKenzie. "They don't have the problems and the addictions in jail so it really is a nice clean, clear time for them to complete."
Beginning January 1, there will be changes to the GED in the state of Wisconsin. The test will only be administered on a computer, so test takers must have basic keyboarding and computer skills. It will also be harder..and condensed in to four sections instead of five
"We've raised the level of things people need to be able to do," said Chad Dull, the dean of instructional support services at Western Technical College. "There's very little memorization, it's more comprehension and being able to respond to text and make an argument."
While the new test is more difficult, educators say those who successfully complete it are more prepared to continue their education or enter the workforce.
"On the current test, when you write you write a 5 paragraph essay based on a random prompt, which is not a very real world thing to do," Dull said. "Now you're going to read things and respond to them in writing which really mirrors more of what most of us do in the real world."
Mackenzie says many of the inmates she works with have the skills to pass the exam, they just need to know how to apply them.
"What we're looking for is them to understand something they read, understand what the argument is and use that argument to back up their opinion," MacKenzie said. "And I think that's what these people can do in real time and that's what gets them ready for the work force. So I think those skills together that they already have on board, for survival skills, if we can channel those, they're going to be good."
Anyone in the jail interested in completing their GED is able to get in to the classroom 3 to 4 times a week. And Mackenzie says if you started the GED, you must finish before the new test in January, or you will have to start over.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas 1mb High Compressed
|1mb Link - Working
Game DescriptionIn the original Grand Theft Auto games--you know, the ones you played on a "computer" with a "keyboard," you had several cities in one game that you could blast around in, causing the usual mayhem, wanton destruction and Borgesian analysis of the substance of reality, and most of that could be done sober. The big appeal of GTA San Andreas, besides inviting strutting white boys from malls across the country into a stylized version of the thug life, is that it combines all the major West Coast cities in one fell swoop, an amazing achievement when you consider the anemic horsepower of the PS2. Yeah, that's right, I'm talkin' smack! But not only did it all fit on one disc without choking the PS2, but they did it without hardly any load times.
Thankfully for us San Fran kids, Rockstar was gracious enough to open up a local office just a few miles away from our fortified compound in Brisbane, and they even had a copy of GTASA for the PC to flash at us like shiny bling last week. I was tasked with heading up to North Beach, where we got a nice little presentation and some hands-on action. This build was on a laptop sporting a mobile version of the 9700 Pro (and using some Omega drivers, interestingly). San Andreas seems to support widescreen just fine, and I didn't notice any slowdowns, despite running hi-res wide--I recall it was 1650x1000. And thing loads incredibly fast. The game itself takes less than ten seconds (with a 3.2 GHz P4 and 1GB of PC3200 on the laptop), outdoor/indoor transitions are instantaneous, and cutscenes load whip-smart.
Rockstar tells us that the games are designed from the start using high-res textures, so they didn't have to re-do that aspect of the game (or worse, just leave it as it is). Everything looks nice and sharp. You won't mistake it for Half-Life 2 or anything, but the combination of nice textures, improved view distance, and better character models makes it above-par for the PC. Unlike the PC version of Vice City, textures load a lot faster. You may recall building facades and pedestrians not appearing very fast when you were moving through the city at high speed, and there still is some of that going on here, but you have to look for it now. And with the much farther view distance, you can see buildings from miles off and drive right over to them. The sky also has a lot more color to it throughout the day/night cycle.

OK Knick fans, so the team made a coupla offers to those pesky Nuggets for the services of Carmelo Anthony, but they keep asking for more. So I just wanted to gauge how we were feeling about this, and where to draw the line.
These are not hypothetical scenarios, they've all been out there in the media. Tommy Dee from The Knicks Fan Blog has done a great job of compiling them. So where do you draw the line? What's the most the Knicks should be willing to give up? Assume Melo will be signing a max extension of $65mil for 3 years.
And let's keep all the discussion of new rumors over here at the official schnizzle.
UPDATE: As the trade has been made, 7% of you should be very happy.

About Ojo
Our legendary waters have been soothing body, mind and spirit naturally for centuries.
In the 1500's the Spaniard, in their quest for gold and the Fountain of Youth, discovered the unusual mineral springs in Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. One explorer's record cites, "The greatest treasure that I found these people to possess are hot springs which burst out at the foot of a mountain...so powerful are the chemicals contained in this water that the inhabitants believe that they were given to them by their gods. These Springs I have named Ojo Caliente, or hot eye."

By DON DARE 6 On Your Side Consumer Investigator
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - It's that time of the year when promotion companies start sending what appear to be government documents daring you to open the letter. What you read is an offer to travel for free.
Betsy from Knoxville asks, "Did I really win two free airline tickets, or is it a scam?"
With the winter resort travel season nearing, many of you may be getting a letter like the one Betsy did.
It says: "I am pleased to inform you that you have qualified for an award of two round-trip airline tickets. These tickets are valid for travel anywhere within the continental United States departing from any major airport."
That's not bad. In a few months, when we have the heat cranked up in our homes, and when meteorologists Matt Hinkin or Julya Johnson warn us of a major winter storm coming our way, we'll want to take a flight to anywhere its warm.
The letter goes on to say: "You will receive two nights at any one of over one-thousand Marriott hotel locations."
The retail value of this award is up to $1,400.
If all that has not gotten your attention, this line will: "Because of previous attempts to reach you have been unsuccessful, this is your final notification. If you don't call within 10 days, the travel vouchers will be awarded to someone else."
A lot of people would then call the number.
6 On Your Side called the number and spoke to a woman named Lynn. The tickets were complementary, as long as we attended a presentation for a travel agency where you would likely be encouraged very strongly to sign up for a travel club.
So, is the deal a scam? Not really. It's a clever promotional campaign to get you to join a travel club.
6 On Your Side has warned of travel clubs before. Once you pay a high entrance fee, they have practically hooked for life.
The bottom line is throw the free ticket offer away.

Stoel Rives Presents Webinar On Employer Group Health Plans After U.S. Supreme Court Decision Upholding "Obamacare"
As everyone who was not on Mars this summer knows, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a surprising and historic decision upholding key provisions of President Obama's Affordable Care Act ("ACA"). To help employers navigate the requirements of the law now that it has the stamp of approval of the Supreme Court, and to provide other updates on developments in federal health care reform, members of the Stoel Rives employee benefit and employment groups have been touring the region with a 90-minute presentation entitled "Health Care Reform After the Supreme Court's Decision: Group Health Plan Update 2012." The seminars were presented by Stoel Rives attorneys Howard Bye-Torre, Melanie Curtice, Bethany Bacci, Steve Woodland, Matthew Durham, Carolyn Walker, James Dale, Renae Saade, and Tony DeCristoforo in Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Boise, and Anchorage during September and October.
Shameless Plug Alert! Webinar Presentation on October 25, 2012
If you missed the show when it came to your town or are just interested in learning about this complex and evolving area of employee benefits law, there is one more opportunity to attend the seminar via a webinar which will be conducted on Thursday, October 25 at noon, Pacific Time. To RSVP for the webinar and get instructions for attending, please click here.
What's Covered
The seminars reviewed the Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and also some of the ACA's impacts which have already been felt by group health plans and employers, such as the requirement to cover children through age 26. Regulatory developments planned for 2013 are also discussed, including:
- the requirement to report the cost of health care coverage on W-2s;
- the new disclosure document required by the ACA, the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBCs);
- required 100% coverage for FDA-approved contraceptive methods for women; and
- the reduction to $2,500 of the maximum amount that an employee can contribute to a health care flexible spending account.
The seminars also discussed the new two federal fees on group health plans for 2013-2018, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute fee and the transitional reinsurance program fee. The seminars concluded with a discussion of the ACA requirements for 2014, including
- the mandate for individuals to have health insurance coverage;
- employer pay-or-play penalties, including new IRS guidance on the definition of "full-time" employees for purposes of the penalties;
- recent IRS guidance on the 90-day maximum waiting period for health plans.
We look forward to seeing you online for the webinar on October 25.
How Does the Heath Care Reform Package Impact Employers?

Effective January 1, 2018
- An excise tax will be imposed on health insurance issuers and plan administrators of employer-sponsored health plans with aggregate values that exceed $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage. The tax will be equivalent to 40 percent of the value of the plan that exceeds the threshold amounts. Vision and dental coverage will not be counted as part of value of employer-sponsored coverage if it is provided under a separate policy, certificate, or contract of insurance.
For more information on how the new federal health care reform legislation will affect you, please contact your Stoel Rives attorney or a member of the Stoel Rives Employee Benefits team.
* A grandfathered plan is a plan in effect on the date of the enactment of the health care reform bills. Certain provisions of the law do not apply to grandfathered plans, and other provisions of the law have delayed effective dates for grandfathered plans.
** New plans are plans that are not grandfathered.

How does babby eat?
November 19, 2012
Baby feeding edition: my almost 1-year old is not eating solids, should I be concerned?
Baby mooselini is turning 1 in a few weeks and with our pediatrician appointment coming up, I am not sure if her not eating solids should be a source of worry at this age.
We started attempting "solids" at 5.5 months of age, oatmeal mixed with breastmilk. She was not at all interested. I have tried to offer her different foods, both fruit and vegetables every couple of weeks since then. I have made my own, store-bought, etc. I thought that maybe baby-led would be more appropriate for her, and while she eagerly picks food off her tray and tries to eat it, she frequently gags and even throws up all of it and then some. Her weight gain has slowed since she became an incredibly active little baby (she was breastfed until 9 months and now she is formula fed).
I do not want to push her to eat because I do not want eating be associated with any negative emotions. So I offer her a little here and there during the day, sometimes she has half a spoonful of yogurt and then loses interest, sometimes she refuses all together or even gags. I looked into oral/tactile sensitivity, but she doesn't seem to avoid textures at all, she never has had problems eating breastmilk or formula, not a colicky baby, great sleeper, takes water from sippy, hitting all her milestones on time.
At her 9 month appointment her pedi suggested withholding food in the hope that if she is hungry she will eat. While I haven't tried starving her (seems extreme), she still seems not to be interested in solids if she is hungry if I offer them before her bottle.
I am a bit at a loss finding a balance between waiting for her to accept solids when she is ready and finding a specialist (my gut feeling is telling me I should just wait for at least a couple of months). Any hive-mind advice/anecdata would be appreciated.

Our son had the same issue with feeding; he'd WANT to pick something up and shove it in his mouth, but would gag on it. We did the same thing your pediatrician suggested: we'd withhold his bottle and offer him water & food, and then when he was done trying we'd whip out the bottle. If he KNEW the bottle was there (could see it from his highchair), eating didn't happen; if he thought it was just water and applesauce, he'd try the applesauce. And as he tried day after day, meal after meal, his palate began to accept the food and he decided he liked eating after all.
Now, at 20 months, he has a hollow leg and eats dang near everything (or at least will make an attempt).
If she's hitting her milestones and her pediatrician isn't worried, and you trust her pediatrician to know their business and be paying attention (if you DON'T trust them, bolt now and find one you do), I'd wait on a specialist and see how her 12 month appt goes.
Hang in there and let us know how it goes with her. :)

The fact that she is gagging when she does try the foods tips my opinion to the side that this may be worth getting checked out sooner rather than later. Kids definitely do move forward at their own rate in terms of how quickly they take to solids, but if she's gagging it might mean that she's having trouble swallowing or coordinating the movements of her mouth to handle the food correctly. It could also be a sensitivity to different sensory input that might be associated with something else. Of course it could be nothing at all too (and this is probably most likely). Consulting with a speech/language pathologist who specializes with feeding or a feeding clinic could just check it out for you and make sure that there is nothing that needs work. The benefit of not waiting is that it 's often easier to address these issues early. They can become more serious food avoidance later if it's so unpleasant for her to eat.

She was not at all interested. I have tried to offer her different foods, both fruit and vegetables every couple of weeks since then.
Normal. Offer, offer, offer, then offer again.
She frequently gags and even throws up all of it and then some.
Normal. Her gag-reflex is still developing, which is the point of having to offer 100 times before she will eat anything. Also, does she shove her fingers into the back of her throat often? If so, let her do it--don't stop her--that is how she works on her gag-reflex, too.
I do not want to push her to eat because I do not want eating be associated with any negative emotions.
Well, offering and pushing her a little bit isn't going to lead to eating disorders here...
Sometimes she has half a spoonful of yogurt and then loses interest, sometimes she refuses all together or even gags.
Normal and part of the process.
Despite my use of "normal" several times in this post, "normal" here is referring to the process; I am not sure if this is "normal" for her age, though. It is definitely something to talk to the ped about at the 1-year appointment, for sure, but I am not sure if it's something to lose sleep over. And not worth worrying about a specialist unless the ped brings it up at the appointment (that being said, you really, really need to advocate for yourself, though, and can't rely on the doctor to suggest everything).

Is your doctor saying it is a problem, or is it you feeling it is? If your doctor isn't concerned then I would maybe let it ride a bit.
However, if I were in your position I would follow through with your doctor's suggestion. It isn't "starving her", and because you phrased it that way I'm betting you didn't make her wait very long before you gave in and provided her with a bottle.

This is all purely anecdata, but my now-21-year-old son had a hard time transitioning from the bottle and liquid foods like rice cereal to foods with more texture. He would gag and then refuse anything with more body, like yogurt. I just kept working at it, even "bribing" him with things like sweetened yogurt, etc and he finally slowly began eating things with more texture and lumps and bumps. To this day he has a very easy gag reflex, often gagging when he coughs or even sneezes.
I would get your pediatrician's take on things at her upcoming appt, but unless he/she is alarmed, I don't think there's any harm in continuing to work on it with your little one. Not all kids mature in every way right on schedule. I'm a great believer in moms' "gut feelings" though, so if you feel like there is something more serious going on than just a slow to mature issue, seeing a specialist for an opinion couldn't hurt.

Is she eating actual foods in liquid form (pureed vegetables, soups, etc.), or is it just milk? If the former, and your gut feeling is not to worry too much about it now, then I'd go with that. If the latter, I'd be concerned about her nutrition. Does it matter how you're delivering it to her -- for instance, is she more willing to eat it if you put a puree in front of her and let her chow down with her fingers, than if you try to spoon-feed her? I found that the delivery method made a huge difference with my kids. Same exact thing, rejected on the tray, but then I hand them a utensil, or feed it to them, or put it in a bowl, and they eat it.

Well, I just want to point out in case you haven't heard this, but a weight-gain slowdown once babies become more mobile is very normal. All of mine were big babies at birth, who gained dramatically fast (breastfed over a year, all of them), and then slowed down dramatically after 6 months old. For instance, my current baby was 10 lb. at birth, ~22 lbs. at 6 months, and ~24 lbs at 12 months.
My first daughter has a speech delay, and did not speak any words until her 3rd birthday; she did not have any teeth until two weeks after her 1st birthday. She was an extremely picky eater - refused to eat vegetables unless they were pureed, ate almost no fruit at all - I mean, she basically ate the same ten things over and over again for two years, pretty much.
And what we were told by the occupational therapist for her is to
just keep offering
. Just keep putting different foods in front of her, and let her play with them, and let her get used to the idea (we're pretty sure she had some sensory issues). And we did, and she did, and now she is still kind of a picky eater at 5 1/2 years old, but nothing remarkable at all. Also I'd like to point out that she still gained weight and grew just fine even with her quite-limited diet - the doctor told me this is normal with picky toddlers.
So I just want to say - yes, I think you should trust your parent-instinct and have her looked at if it continues to go on like this, but as you've said, wait a couple more months, because babies that young don't get most of their nutrition from solids and she's still getting her milk fine; and she
interested in solids sometimes, so that's on track. If it's a sensory issue, you're already doing what you should be (keep offering). If it's an oversensitive gag reflex, she'll grow past that. Bring it up to your doctor, but I don't see the harm in waiting-and-seeing a little longer before calling a specialist.

My daughter was similar, she was very much not interested in solid food. She would try a bite of this or that, or play with something that was pleasantly squishy, but she didn't eat any substantial amount of anything until she was well over a year old. She's 11 now and I honestly can't remember exactly when it picked up, but it was around the arrival of her first molars and she went from not eating much to eating "normally" pretty fast. This has been the norm for her with just about every development, do it on the way late end of "normal" and "catch up" quickly.

When my boy (now 9m) was starting to want to eat, he struggled to figure out chewing. We used baby rice puffs which melt in his mouth so if he didn't chew it the whole way before he swallowed he wouldn't choke.
"Gagging is good, choking is bad." Their gag reflexes are really far up compared to adults. If she is still able to get air in and out, and is just gagging, don't disturb her, let her learn where and how to wrangle food with her tongue. This was really hard for me but when I stopped interfering with him when he gagged, he learned to work it around to where he could gum it up more before swallowing.
Babies before 1 should be getting the majority of their nutrition from breast milk or formula. "Food before one is just for fun." Let her eat milk/formula before you put her in a high chair and then let her play with the food. Let her explore and touch and taste at her own pace. Since she's full of milk you don't need to worry about a set amount of food getting in her.
Also, have you tried eating while she sits in the high chair and plays with food or a toy? Have dinner while she watches so she can see how it's done.
I would recommend "Baby Led Weaning".

We are struggling with our one year old at the moment. Arggh! It's infuriating. However, I understand it's completely normal.
This book
is written by a pediatrician and apparently is good at setting parental expectations. It's only 2.99 here in Australia for me, and I bought it yesterday, I have not read it yet. Best of luck, this too will pass.

Australian tourist inquest
1:50pm Friday 14th December 2012 in News
AN AUSTRALIAN tourist died while visiting family in Eastleigh, an inquest heard.
Roger McDonald, of Hamilton, Queensland, Australia, arrived in Eastleigh in September to spend three weeks with nephew Christopher Cheal and family.
But on September 12 he fell down the stairs at Mr Cheal's home in Launceston Drive, Eastleigh, and sustained serious head injuries.
Mr Cheal said: "I didn't hear him falling but I heard a big crash and it was obvious what had happened. He was unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, bleeding and his breathing was raspy."
He went into a coma and was taken to Southampton General Hospital but his condition deteriorated and he died on September 30.
Deputy Coroner for Central Hampshire Simon Burge recorded a verdict of accidental death.
Speaking after the inquest, Mr Cheal added: "He was a brilliant guy and he came over here to be there for the birth of my daughter. He was loved by all his family and it's so sad how this trip ended."

Attorneys for Lorenzo Johnson say the justice system has failed their client in the past, but they hope he will get his freedom again.
They say there is overwhelming evidence that Johnson is innocent of any involvement in the 1995 shooting death of Tarajay Williams near 14th and Market streets.
Supporters dropped off a petition containing more than 1,000 signatures asking Attorney General Kathleen Kane to hold an evidentiary hearing.
Johnson was freed from prison in January 2012 after filing several appeals, but the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the decision six months later and sent him back to prison to serve a life sentence.
His attorneys say their client should go free because key witnesses have since recanted their stories and have claimed they were coerced by investigators.
They have also appealed for an evidentiary hearing before the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas.

Okay, the Defense struggled but any time the Offense gives up four turnovers that is to be expected. However, the Denver Defense was soundly outplayed by the KC Defense when it came to forcing turnovers. The KC Defense forced turnovers against a good offense with a good O-Line, while our Defense, with the exception of the beautiful fumble Champ caused for LJ, should have been more effective against a weak Offense with a young and unproven O-Line.
No need to be totally focused on negatives. We need to look to the future. JMFW got some meaningful reps, unfortunately they were against a very good NFL WR. Plus, there were no significant injuries to the Defense and Woodyard and Larsen continue to impress on Special Teams. The starters at LB and FB are probably stepping up their game. If Larsen can play one of those positions like he plays ST he will be a starter soon. The kickoff coverage hit that knocked the KC returner's helmet off was so hard it also knocked a bunch of pixels off my screen!!! Larsen definitely deserves a cool nickname.

Last Wednesday's Farmers Market Cocktail Night was a part of SF Cocktail Week and featured early Fall ingredients. Since this party is too good to miss, I was on hand at the sold-out shindig. Here's a look at the food and drink. Chicharrones What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Upon arrival at the outdoor tasting, I was greeted by a giant plate of 4505 Chicharrones. Yum!!! Don't mind if I do... 1 / 10 No. 12 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The first drink, from Kyle Ford of Rye, was a sublime whiskey concoction that was not too sweet. 2 / 10 Pimento Crostini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hog and Rocks was offering an insanely scrumptious crostini with homemade pimento cheese and Serrano ham. 3 / 10 Square Peg, Round Hole What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When it came to the cocktails, pink was the color of the evening. Steven Liles, of Smuggler's Cove, served a rum drink that was quintessentially tiki, but refreshingly complex. 4 / 10 Shrimp Louie What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't be fooled, just because this shrimp Louie crostini didn't photograph so well, doesn't mean it wasn't amazing. Carlo Espinas, of Comstock Saloon, said the secret ingredient was his homemade mayonnaise. 6 / 10 Little Horner's Luck What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Figs and cachaça may seem like an unlikely pairing, but Brandon Josie of 15 Romolo proved that in a cocktail, they can blend seamlessly. This drink was my favorite! 6 / 10 Watermelon, Coppa, and Feta Skewer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sweet peppers, juicy watermelon, tangy feta, and salty ham came together perfectly in one memorable bite crafted by chef Zach of 15 Romolo. 7 / 10 September's Breeze What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I was pleasantly surprised by this floral cocktail from the folks at 42 Below. It consisted of honey vodka, cherry extract, lemon juice, and soda water; a spritz of lemon verbena water gave it a perfume like quality. 8 / 10 Fig Tart What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I won't lie: I ate at least four of these black Mission fig tarts with goat cheese, chives, and hazelnuts. The Plant Café Organic makes a mean puff pastry! 9 / 10 Regents Pinta Punch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pisco was the main ingredient in this slightly bubbly, highly drinkable punch from Encanto. 11 / 10 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Farmers Market Night2010 SF Cocktail WeekFerry BuildingCUESASlideshowDrinksCocktailsSan Francisco Cocktails It Doesn't Get Classier Than This Tuxedo Cocktail 2 days ago The Art of the Cocktail Garnish 2 days ago Make These 3 Classic Cocktails Even Better With Bubbles 3 days ago We'll Have a Long Island . . .

DHEA, the most abundant steroid in the blood of adult humans, peaks in early adulthood and declines with age. Animal research indicates that 7-Keto, a natural metabolite of DHEA, is a more active inducer of thermogenic enzymes than DHEA. Research on humans has shown that supplementation with 7-Keto is well tolerated. It is not converted to estrogens or androgens, a point of concern for many people.

I seem to be making a habit of these posts. I was curious about how things stood and what it might look like come opening day as well as depth. After getting into it a bit, I thought I'd share as I found it useful. So here we go (again). Starting with the 40 man plus those invited to camp. Pitching first:
Erasmo Ramirez
James Paxton (L)
Charlie Furbush (L)
Lucas Luetge (L)
Blake Beavan, Hector Noesi, Logan Bawcom, Anthony Fernandez (L)
Stephen Pryor, Danny Hultzen (L)
Jonathan Arias, Andrew Carraway, Roenis Elias (L), James Gillheeney (L), Nick Hill (L), Stephen Kohlscheen, Dominic Leone, Matt Palmer, Ramon Ramirez, Chance Ruffin, Carson Smith, Joe Biemel (L), Logan Kensing
The rotation is okay, if you're okay with this being a developmental year with the idea of going for it in 2015. Are we still at that point? I don't think so. If we could get Jimenez, Santana or even a Capuano or Maholm, bumping one of the young kids to AAA as depth or maybe to the pen as long man (I could only see them doing this with Erasmo), then maybe we're in better shape. Adding someone like a Baker wouldn't be a bad move either, there's no depth/NRI I can see on the list that's likely to challenge for a rotation spot.
The pen could also do with some work. Pryor is expected to be out until about May. I'm comfortable with Farquhar, Furbush, Medina and Wilhelmsen, but those last three spots need some work. Maurer might be okay as a long man, but I think I'd rather have him in AAA working on something he can throw to lefties. I'd definitely rather have upgrades over the other two lefties in the pen, maybe Leone or Smith make opening day with a good spring if they don't add anyone else of significance.
Now on to the position players:
Jesus Sucre, Humberto Quintero
Mike Dowd, John Hicks, Manny Pina
This one's pretty clear cut. Sucre and Quintero are adequate depth, but they're really betting the farm on Zunino. Buck should be a not terrible stop gap if he has to take the starting duties at some point, although we better hope that doesn't eventuate.
Justin Smoak (S)
Logan Morrison (L)
Ji-Man Choi, Jesus Montero (lol?)
Ty Kelly(?) (S)
Barring a trade, I'd assume this is going to be Smoak with Hart or Morrison on days off, with the other two rotating between a corner outfield spot and DH. It'll be interesting to see how that unfolds as the season progresses if Smoak doesn't take a step forward, assuming that Hart and Morrison both play well enough to justify playing time.
Robinson Cano (L)
Dustin Ackley (L)
Nick Franklin (S)
I'm not bothering with Depth or NRI for this one - Ackley or Franklin would be a starting second basemen on a bunch of other teams if they weren't behind Cano in the pecking order. If you want, there's Triunfel as depth and Kelly, Gabriel Noriega and Chris Taylor as NRIs, even Nate Tenbrink for giggles. This is obviously Cano, but for rare off days (hoping he continues being durable), it may end up being Bloomquist. The M's depth chart actually has Cano, Franklin, Miller - no Ackley or WFB which is amusing but probably not a reflection of reality. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't see any more of Ackley at second at least in the short term, though. If Franklin doesn't get traded, I'd think he starts in AAA - there's not much playing time for him otherwise. I don't believe for a second they're seriously considering him as a competitor to Brad Miller for the starting shortstop gig.
Kyle Seager (L)
Willie Bloomquist
Ty Kelly, Nate Tenbrink
This needs no discussion, as Seager is Boss. We are so screwed if anything happens because otherwise you're looking at WFB, starting third baseman and Triunfel as your utility IF guy. Ugh. Interestingly, Franklin is listed behind Seager and WFB on the depth chart and ahead of Triunfel, despite never having played there in his professional career.
Brad Miller (L)
Willie Bloomquist
Carlos Triunfel
Gabriel Noriega (S), Chris Taylor
Even though the M's had opportunities to give Franklin time at short late last year, they chose not to which is why I haven't listed him here, even though he's ahead of WFB on the depth chart (and Triunfel is not listed at all).
Dustin Ackley (L)
Michael Saunders (L)
Abraham Almonte (S)
Logan Morrison (L)
Corey Hart
Willie Bloomquist
Xavier Avery (L), James Jones (L), Julio Morban (L), Stefen Romero
Cole Gillespie, Ty Kelly (S), Endy Chavez (L)
So at first glance, that's not a terrible pile. The downside is the only guy with a real shot at starting (at least in the outfield) on most teams is Michael Saunders, and there's no reliable help coming - Romero might not hit enough to make up for below average defence, and Morban could be Glass Guti 2.0. The depth chart again is intriguing, it lists left as Ackley, Guti, Saunders, WFB, centre as Saunders, Guti, Ackely, Almonte, and right as Morrison, Hart, Guti and Almonte. At this stage I'd venture that you'll see some combination of the first three names get the bulk of the playing time with LoMo and Hart rotating through a corner when not DHing or spelling Smoak at first. I'm not sure it makes sense for Almonte to make the team at this stage, as I just can't see where he's going to get regular playing time the way the roster is constructed, although he might be one of the better defensive options.
So what might this actually look like come open day? My guess:
Felix, Iwakuma, FA veteran, Walker, Erasmo/Paxton/cheap FA or reclamation project like Baker
Farquhar, Furbush, Medina, Wilhelmsen, Luetge/LaFromboise/NRI or FA lefty, pick two of Bawcom/Leone/FA righty/Maurer/Erasmo (if not starting)
I'd bet Pryor slots straight back in when he's ready to go, which should strengthen things. They didn't really go with a long man much last year, it'll be interesting to see if that continues, or if that was a Wedge thing.
Zunino, Smoak (S), Cano, Seager, Miller, Morrison/Ackley/Saunders (L/C/R), Hart (DH)
Buck, WFB, Guti, Almonte (S)
I'd imagine a three headed DH/COF monster with Hart, LoMo and Guti, maybe even a four way with 1B and toss Smoak in as well, depending on how they're all going. As always, I hope someone else found this useful, any thoughts or feedback greatly appreciated. Maybe one day I'll spend the time to figure out how to make things look pretty, though I doubt it.

Typically when a golfer reacts poorly after hitting their tee shot, the ball is headed for the spectators, a hazard or worse. With the way Tim Clark reacted to his tee shot at the Par 3 11th hole, you may have thought the ball was heading 30 yards off target. The ball, however, landed just beyond the pin and rolled barely off the back of the green.
Clark chipped up and made the par putt to remain at 3-under. We can only imagine how he would have reacted if the shot was way off target.

With the draft and free agency approaching, and a classic NBA Finals matchup that shows off a basketball product on another planet of the recent Timberwolves, I find myself asking the question of what I really want to see out of our beloved Woofies. I'll throw out a poll of vague options, but I think it's an interesting discussion, given how incredibly far we are from contending and how incredibly boring it was to watch last year's team.
Option #1 - Put a winner on the floor, as soon as possible.
This option could mean a few different things, but it almost certainly involves a free agent acquisition and/or sign and trade to use our cap space on a veteran that can contribute immediately. Basically, try to get Mike Miller or his equivalent back and forget about the fact that he's 30 years old and won't help us if we ever reach the Finals in 2016. It also means that we consider the possibility of trading Ricky Rubio for less than his perceived/projected long-term value. If we can cash in Ricky Rubio for a sure-thing "good" veteran player, we do it and feel good about flipping Foye-Miller for a better veteran player. It also puts a bit of pressure on Ramon Sessions and Jonny Flynn to take ownership of the point guard position.
Option #2 - Think championship all the way, even if it means three more lottery seasons (at least.)
This option, in all likelihood, means two things: (1) keeping Ricky Rubio, and even building around him, to an extent; and (2) ditching Love or Jefferson. More than anything else, Wolves fans know that there is not a bona fide Option #1A of a title contender on this team. I mean that generally speaking, not just in a "go-to" scorer sort of way. We all saw in 2008 that KG was that player, but just not in the Michael Jordan sense. Ricky Rubio, if he can become a Jason Kidd-type of impact point guard, could be that player, or something close. History has shown that guys like Kidd and Steve Nash can lead teams to 50+ win seasons and deep playoff runs. This option also means taking risks in the draft -- but measured risks. If DeMarcus Cousins or Hassan Whiteside look like world-class idiots (meaning this is how they presented themselves in closed-door interviews) you pass on them, even if they showed off some great abilities in college. But if they seem like good-enough guys that won't cause problems, you pull the trigger. Put simply, you make the responsible pick.
Option #3 - Make the games fun to watch.
This option sounds like a loser, and maybe it is, but there is something to be said for having a fun style of play and some personalities on the court. I rip on Cousins more than anyone around this blog, but I have to admit that I'd enjoy watching him and his antics. It'd be fun to see him mix it up with opponents and even Coach Rambis. If he crosses the line (which I tend to think he will) it could jeopardize the team goals and whatnot, and eventually it'll grow tiring. But, I can say with pretty good certainty that, sort of like Dennis Rodman back in the day, Cousins could be an entertaining show to watch. Also part of this option is getting some real shooters on the team, even if they aren't as "solid" as Damien Wilkins or players of his type. It isn't fun to watch crappy shooters, at all. The lane gets clogged up for our posts and shots never fall. We hardly ever go on long scoring runs. We never go into halftime with a lead, so many of the 2nd Halves are yawners.

While the New Hollywood era started in the late-1960s, the Second Golden Age came into full bloom in the 1970s and delivered some of cinema's greatest films. Arising out of the ashes of the old studio system, the era introduced a new generation of filmmakers - many of whom idolized directors from the classical era - and with them a renaissance of American filmmaking that saw more experimentation with tone, form and subject matter.
Of course, with experimentation comes excess and by the early 1980s, the post-classical 1970s gave way to corporatized blockbusters that dominate the market even today. But for a brief period of about 15 years, studios took creative chances on films that have since become New Classics.

Lychee green tea with ginseng
Found a new variety of Hawaiian Sun today--at least new to me. The lychee flavor is pretty good and very subtle, closer to the flavored jelly candy than the syrup of the canned fruit. It's not perfumy or overpowering at all. In fact, the fruit, tea, and ginseng are equally mellow, making it very chuggable. Perhaps too chuggable. Now it's gone and I feel phantom lychee strings between my teeth.

News: Lloyd Announces Post-Murder Inc. Debut Release
Saturday, Dec 4, 2010 11:28AM
Former Murder Inc. singer Lloyd has announced the release date of his Interscope Records debut album, King of Hearts.
According to reports, the singer's post-Inc. album is set to drop in early February.
Lloyd will be stealing hearts this Valentine's Day. After shifting his album release from February to December, the R&B heartthrob is sticking to his original plan. King of Hearts is officially set for a February 1, 2011 release date, Rap-Up.com can confirm. Lloyd's fourth album and first on Zone 4/Interscope Records was executive produced by Polow Da Don and includes the lead single "Lay It Down" and follow-up "Let's Get It In" featuring 50 Cent. (Rap-Up)
Recently, Lloyd said his post-Murder Inc. release would be packed with surprises.
"I'm the King of Hearts, you know," Lloyd said in an interview. "And at the album release, we gonna be drinking Ace of Spades...Me and Polow Da Don have been working hard. I got a lot of surprises. I think that a lot of people haven't heard me sound like this, haven't heard me sing like this. It's gonna be a new look, it's gonna be like I'm back for the first time. It should be anticipated. The album is gonna be my best work to date, King of Hearts." (MTV)
Earlier this year, Lloyd hinted at being in the studio working on a new album.
"Me and Polow [Da Don] started it off a couple months ago, laying the foundation. I'm going in with the The Runners and Jim Jonsin again, and I've been talking to Swizz and Dr. Dreabout getting in. No features yet." (Hip Hop N More)
The album will be his follow-up to 2008's Lessons in Love.
Debuting at No. 7, R&B sensation Lloyd surprised many selling a cool 51,000 in his first week on the charts. The singer's third album Lessons In Love featured special guests including hip-hop superstar Ludacris while his Lil Wayne assisted hit single "Girls Around the World" continues to hit radio airwaves across the country.

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Toronto FC have acquired forward Bright Dike from the Portland Timbers in exchange for forward Maximiliano Urruti, the club announced on Monday.
"We received an offer from Portland that we could simply not pass on. We feel good about the return we're getting and it made sense for both clubs," said Toronto FC head coach Ryan Nelsen. "We'd like to welcome Bright Dike to Toronto FC and wish Maximiliano all the best."
Dike, 26, has appeared in 23 league matches, scoring six goals, for the Timbers over two-plus seasons.
He was originally selected in the first round of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by the Columbus Crew. He left the Crew to sign with the Timbers and spent the 2010 season with the club before becoming one of the Timbers' first signings ahead of the club's inaugural MLS season in 2011.
Dike has also earned one cap for the Nigerian national team.
Toronto also received a natural 2015 SuperDraft selection and allocation money in the deal, while Portland picked up an additional international roster spot for the remainder of the 2013 season.
Urruti, 22, was signed by Toronto FC on Aug. 16, 2013 and made two substitute appearances for the club.

Or maybe I was mad about that.
Anyway … the turn of a decade is always a big deal. Adding a digit in the tenths column is an accomplishment. And that's why the 10th anniversary celebration of the Miller-Ward Alumni House (MWAH) on Thursday night felt extra festive.
I work at MWAH, so I don't always notice the day-to-day differences, but tonight the house just looked extra shiny. And the good feeling of the more than 200 attendees added to the glow.
Take Marjorie Nunn 61C. She serves on the MWAH advisory board, and you couldn't wipe the smile off her face with a power eraser. "I was gone from Emory for 40 years," she said, "and then we got the two things we always wanted–a performing arts center, and this house."
Lord James W. Dooley even graced us with his presence, and through the mouthpiece of his entourage, he was as articulate as ever.
"The beauty of this building is unrivaled on our campus," he said. "The presence of so many trees reminds me of the earliest days of Emory, both here and at Oxford, when the wooded ravines and flowing creeks still dominated my beloved landscape," he continued.
"If ever my bones grow weary of prowling the same old haunt, all I must do is come here to remember why Emory will forever be my home," he said.
There were Peach Bellinis (a concoction combining champagne with peach nectar), tall glasses of shrimp and grits, and espresso-rubbed beef tenderloin (among the many tasty treats), and self-guided tours of the immaculately styled rooms.
It was a great way to kick off Emory Homecoming Weekend. I really do love working here.
