Central Avenue Checklist: Bakery Edition
Is there anything more disappointing than standing outside a closed bakery and peering into a darkened window with your hands cupped around your face wondering what fresh, warm, baked, sweet, flaky, doughy goodness you may have missed out on? We think not.
Such was the flaw in our Central Avenue Checklist plan. Our mostly nighttime excursions meant passing by all too many darkened bakeries.
So we set out on a Saturday morning to rectify this lapse. And Central Avenue did not disappoint us. In a single visit, Central threw at us a cultural diversity of baked goods (American, Mexican, German, and Iraqi) that you'd rarely find on a single stretch of road anywhere, thus reaffirming just how compelling an avenue "she" is.
And yes, we have started calling Central Avenue "she." When you spend this much time together, it gets personal.
This week's checklist crew: WACSO, M.C. Cronin, James Norton, Kate N.G. Sommers, and Luke Taylor.
Read the other installments of the Central Avenue Checklist here: Paradise Biryani Pointe to Flameburger, Dong Yang to Big Marina, New York Gyro to Jimmy's Pro Billiards, El Tequila to The Heights Theater, and The Chilean Corner to El Taco Riendo.
Heights Bakery
4925 Central Ave NE, Columbia Heights | 4.3 miles to Broadway Street
On a shelf behind the counter sits a ceramic urn that reads "Ashes of problem customers." Aside from this and a few other knickknacks, the most prominent decoration in the place is a giant red sign with one word on it: bakery.
Yep. Nailed it.
Heights Bakery is beautiful in its simplicity. The bakery case runs the length of the shop. Behind its glass are trays and trays of baked goods topped with glazes and sprinkles and coconut shavings and chocolate and nuts and cinnamon sugar and something pink and sparkly.
There are doughnuts made from dough and doughnuts made from batter. There are good-old-fashioned "old-fashioneds" and new-fashioned croissant-doughnuts. There are fritters and crullers and Bismarcks and braids. There's stuff stuffed with vanilla cream and fruit jelly. And of course, there's bread.
Heights Bakery isn't just old-school, it's the school that old-school was modeled after. It's the kind of shop that still has bells dangling from the front door to alert the bakers in back that there's a customer up front.
Behind the bakery case and through a door, you can catch a glimpse into the kitchen. This is where the magic happens. Rolling racks filled with trays of baked goods stand ready to be called into service. Bakers with flour-dusted aprons bustle about.
In the doughnut business, getting a raised glazed right is akin to a lawyer's passing the state bar. When you prove that you can reach a certain standard with your raised glazed, you can officially conduct business as a doughnut shop. The Heights version doesn't just pass the bar, it raises it.
Heights Bakery has been churning out baked goods since 1953. Our guess is that they've been doing it very much the same way — give or take a croissant-doughnut experiment or two — for 60-some years. And barring a change to their raised glazed recipe, we imagine they'll be doing it for the next 60. — M.C. Cronin
In terms of value, little approaches the bag of doughnuts and loaf of cinnamon bread that we scored at the Heights Bakery for $10.50. We'd say that we got our money's worth if these doughnuts were grocery-store quality. But they weren't — they were good-to-ravishing, overall.
The raised glazed doughnut was intensely chewy, light and delicate, and — cue the sound of angelic harps — not too sweet. Sweet enough, but not that Krispy Kreme nail-through-the-head flavor that is nice for a bite or two, but no more. This is drive-across-town good.
Our blueberry cake doughnut was nothing fancy (witness the dyed blue streaks of industrial blueberry in the doughnut's interior), but truly hit the spot. Like its raised compadre, it was properly sweet, but not overly so, and the flavor of blueberry was carried successfully through the icing.
Our cinnamon-sugar cake doughnut was also good, but once you've been to A Baker's Wife, it's hard to rally behind anyone else's version.
The only less-than-stellar item we got from this splendid old place was the Bacon Cro-Nut, a needless attempt to surf the croissant-meets-doughnut wave that crashed at least a year ago. We found the pastry too sweet by half and the bacon that topped it closer to jerky than the breakfast favorite. — James Norton
Adelita's Bakery
4351 Central Ave NE, Columbia Heights | 4.1 miles to Broadway Street
If Heights is an old-school American bakery, Adelita's is its south-of-the-border counterpart. An old-school panaderia.
As such, there's no one picking pastries out of the case for you with little squares of tissue paper while you hunch over, pointing through the glass. It's pure self-service. You grab a metal tray and a set of tongs near the front door. Then you set out on your own tweezing pastries out of cases running along the perimeter of the room.
The Toast: Summer Beer Taste-off 2015
In This Toast: We sip 32 beers from 21 Minnesota breweries to determine the best local summer seasonal.
Which local beers are in season? Well, heat equals wheat, so we're into hefeweizens right now. But we also love those thin summer session ales for pounding after a bike ride. Oh, and saisons, and pale lagers, and weird fruit beers, and firkins infused with stuff like tea and lemongrass and mint.
To help us separate the wheat from the chaff, once every few months, our friends at the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild harangue their member breweries to send us beer. This time, they delivered the biggest bounty to date: 32 local summer seasonals.
Helping us sort through them, was our expert tasting panel: Sean Cooke, Certified Cicerone with the Better Beer Society; Paige Latham, Heavy Table's beer correspondent; Andrew Schmitt, director of MN Beer Activists; and Frank Haataja, host of The Minnesota Skinny.
All beers were tasted blind in flights of more or less similar styles. The judges were presented with a final flight of consensus favorites for more in-depth tasting. Here are the best beers for summer.
Gold Medal and Best In Show: Schell's Hefeweizen
Heavy Table's official summer beer is the ideal hefeweizen. Everything about Schell's Hefe feels balanced — just enough malt sweetness, just enough fruitiness from the yeast, and it finishes clean. Our panel compared it to the Franziskaner, one of the style's gold standards. Pair it with the warm sun shining on your face and the contented feeling that you're drinking the best summer beer in Minnesota.
First Runner-Up: Schell's Starkeller Peach
Schell's grabs the top two spots in the tasting thanks to its latest entry in the Noble Star series of Berliner weisse interpretations. The peaches add a fleshiness to the Starkeller that helps round out some of the more acerbic tartness. The result is a cloudy, smooth sour with a true depth of flavor.
Second Runner-Up: Mankato Brewing Kato Beer
Mankato has delivered our preferred patio pounder. Their Munich-style helles lager is reminiscent of a fine cream ale — a subtle, corny sweetness balanced by a crisp lager finish. It's light and bright and clean, and it was our consensus favorite pairing with food from El Taco Riendo, our judging fuel for the evening.
Third Runner-Up: Bauhaus Brew Labs Hairbanger
The hop-head's beer of summer is this new Belgian-style pale ale from Bauhaus. It sports a somewhat herbal aroma before bashing in with piney hops in a rounded Belgian-tasting body. The bitterness comes on late, and the dry finish begs a return sip. A proud, enlivening beer.
Honorable Mention:
Blacklist Brewing Imperial Hefeweizen
All kinds of hot, fusel alcohols on the nose, but it then mellows into a burly, aggressive, caramel, honey-tinged, complex monster. A lot to wrestle with, and we'll happily do so.
Fulton Beer The Randonneur
Fulton's summer saison has a great banana-coriander thing going on, with great color and clarity. And the hop balance is spot-on. A crowd pleaser, a laid-back winner.
Tin Whiskers Watts Wheat Wine
An impressive pineapple-and-banana Runts candy aroma leads to a full-bodied, sweet, and boozy monolith of a brew. Would make for a terrific nightcap after a Saints game.
Tin Whiskers Wheatstone Bridge
Tin Whiskers' more approachable wheat beer is a stunner: balanced and smooth, with lovely notes of jasmine and citrus. Alongside Schell's Hefe, this is our everyday wheat beer of the year.
Town Hall Brewery Apricot Summer
Our favorite flavored beer of summer comes from Town Hall. It was called "mellifluous" by one tipsy taster, but we understand the sentiment: light, fruity, and pleasant.
Notes from the Rest of the Tasting (by style):
56 Brewing NE Nectar Honey Kolsch
Kind of awkward. Honey on the nose, but also paint thinner. Good pale malt flavor, but the method doesn't taste dialed-in.
Town Hall Brewery Wedding Kolsch
Fine enough malt character, but we couldn't get past a whiff of intense Styrofoam staleness on the nose.
Sidhe Brewing Señor Sol Victorious
Faint caramel, some sweet malt, very little on the finish, and not much carbonation. This Mexican lager could have used a squeeze of lime.
Tin Whiskers Parity Pilsner
A gorgeous pilsner. Clean, pleasant, and straightforward. Proudly boring, perfectly beige.
Sessions / Summer Ales:
Beaver Island Brewing One Speed Belgian Single
Nice grainy, malty finish, a little tennis shoe rubber flavor. A light, uncomplicated sip. 4.7 percent ABV.
Beaver Island Brewing Fabulous Armadillo Summer Ale
Some smoky phenols, along with apple and citrus aromas, some malt complexity, assertive hops. Light and easy. 4.7 percent ABV.
Brau Brothers Hopsession Super IPA
Smells like those speckled white Easter egg candies, tons of grapefruit, not much body or carbonation. Nothing much but hops. 4.2 percent ABV.
Summit Summer Ale
Cidery aroma, nice mineral finish, pure and light. 4.4 percent ABV.
612Brew Mary Ann
A consistent punch of ginger. Long lasting and memorable.
612Brew Radler
Menthol aroma. Juicy, though incohesive. Flightworthy more than pintworthy.
The Freehouse No. 24 Earl-Grey-Tea-Infused Honey Wheat
Mulled potpourri spice on the nose. Earthy, peppery body. Black tea flavor shines.
Excelsior Brewing Sunburn Cherry Wheat
Interesting tea flavor, not much fruit flavor. Wheat-forward, though not memorable.
Indeed Mojito Shenanigans
Not sure what shenanigans were up when this one was brewed. Tastes the way a mint Mr. Sketch marker smells. Stick with their far superior original version.
Other Light Ales:
Bent Paddle Paddle Break Blonde
Light and grassy, squeaky clean. A hammock pounder.
Mankato Brewery Duly Noted Pale Ale
Too bitter, too simple, lacking aroma. A pronounced plastic flavor wouldn't quit.
Waconia Brewing Pontoon Pale Ale
We picked up acetone on this one. A bone-dry finish leaves flavors of pepper and earth. Unbalanced.
Wheat Beers:
Blacklist Brewing Makrut Wit
Big, bold, and sweet. Warming. Sweet honey and orange blossom. Hot and full bodied. This is your summer evening nightcap by the pool.
The Freehouse No. 11 Belgian-Style Witbier
Really nice. Light bodied, flavorful and bright. It tastes as if it should be enjoyed on a beach with grilled fish.
Mankato Brewery Ceres Summer Ale
No flavor up front. Alkaline-tasting. Hints of apple. Awkward, bitter finish.
Third Street Hunny Do Wheat Beer
Smells and tastes like cider. Fruity-sweet, easygoing, apricot, pear, ginger, and lemon. Convert your favorite Angry Orchard drinker with this one.
Tart / Sour:
Day Block Brewing Berliner Weisse
Pleasant, cloudy, and wheaty. Great on its own (without the accompanying raspberry syrup). Effervescent, and just tart enough. Balanced. Drinkable.
Excelsior Brewing MinneGose Gose Style Ale
A pungent, saline tang in a durable, wheat-filled body. Simple, a little funky, but palate-cleansing. This is your raw oyster beer of the summer.
Urban Growler Berliner Weisse
The woodruff syrup was a very nice addition to what was a mediocre Berliner Weisse. The beer had a strange Red Hots aroma and a chemical-tinged finish, and it really needed a viscous syrup to cancel the off flavor.

River Rock Coffee in St. Peter
If you're heading south of the Twin Cities on Highway 169, you'll eventually arrive at the town of St. Peter. This beautiful old town along the Minnesota River has a lively downtown — (all of which is on the National Register of Historic Places) with a good mix of shops and art galleries. It also has a far-better-than-average eatery: River Rock Coffee. River Rock is right on Highway 169 (or, as it's also called at this point, Minnesota Avenue), and is a congenial community gathering spot. At a recent visit, we saw people working on laptops, gossiping over coffee, and having a planning meeting for a new veteran's memorial to be built in the town, and there was even one man who didn't think twice about singing along with the music playing overhead. (For the record, no one even glanced his way, and he wasn't a bad singer.)
The name is somewhat misleading. Yes, River Rock has a full complement of coffee and espresso drinks, but it also has a cafe menu. While limited in scope, it's made up of a well-chosen selection of items that changes with the seasons. River Rock sources locally and organically as much as it can, buying fresh items from several local farmers and tinkering with the menu according to what is available.
During a recent visit, we tried the salad sampler ($7.75), a plate with all three of the day's salads. It would be difficult to pick a favorite. The mixed greens were raised above the usual by being sourced from one of River Rock's local producers — as were the peppery radishes — and topped with toasted breadcrumbs instead of croutons. The breadcrumbs provided a gentle crunch that worked well with the delicate greens. There was an udon noodle salad with kale and a sesame-soy dressing — flavorful but not spicy. The server said that a week earlier this salad had asparagus instead of kale, and we can only imagine how good that would have been. Finally, a grain salad containing brown rice, more of the peppery radishes, carrots, and a generous serving of fresh dill was tossed in a tahini dressing — a perfect blend of flavors. It was easy to see how these salads could change with the harvest.
The sampler came with slices of sourdough bread baked on site, with a hard crust, a chewy interior, and a tangy sourdough taste. The cafe offers loaves ($5) for sale on baking days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday), but they go quickly; a Thursday morning visit found the Wednesday loaves gone. River Rock provides other house-baked items, including its signature hermit cookie ($2), made of rolled oats, chocolate chunks, and whole wheat flour — a sturdy, yet chewy cookie that is not overly sweet and is made for a substantial afternoon snack. Other pastries are baked in rotation. A caramel crunch bar ($2.25) that appeared one day just about put this reviewer into rhapsodies. The caramel was thick, dark brown, and almost chocolaty in texture.
Heavy Table Hot Five: June 26-July 2
Each Friday, this list will track five of the best things Heavy Table's writers, editors, and photographers have recently bitten or sipped. Have a suggestion for the Hot Five? Email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kebab Dinner at Al Amir Bakery
We have tasted many dozens of dishes on our encyclopedic trip from 694 to Broadway Street via Central Avenue in Northeast Minneapolis, but few if any have touched us as deeply as the kebab at Al Amir Bakery. Skewered by swords and cooked over high yellow flames, the meat and tomatoes that make up the core of this dish are rich in flavor and thoroughly charred with soul. Everything about this simple Iraqi dish is beautiful.
[Debuting on the Hot Five | From an Instagram Post by James Norton]
The Nashville Slammer created by Jackson O'Brien of Peace Coffee
Jackson O'Brien, head barista at Peace Coffee's Wonderland location, created this refreshing, tasty drink during our Summer Cold Press Lab. Combining cold press concentrate, sparking water, simple syrup, basil, and lime, the Slammer is a coffee lovers' answer to iced tea and the perfect drink for summer barbecues. Read our story on the Cold Press lab for the recipe.

Fish Provençal at Le Town Talk
The Fish Provençal at Le Town Talk was amazing. Fresh fish, smoky tomatoes, perfectly tender confit potatoes, olives … stewed to perfection, all topped with a bit of crème fraîche. Oh là là! C'était très bon.
[Debuting on the Hot Five | Submitted by Brenda Johnson]
Taiwanese Style Stir Fried Rice Noodles from Evergreen Chinese
This noodle dish is good enough to make you forget you're eating in an fluorescent lit basement. Without too much umami or the essence of trying too hard, these noodles are addictive and authentic.
[Debuting on the Hot Five | Submitted by Paige Latham]
Tuna Crudo at Piccolo
Ultra fresh fish topped with mojama (cured tuna loin), summer truffle, slightly cured quail eggs, and herbs, the balanced and beautiful dish pops with flavor, flavor, and more flavor. Chef Flicker's creation gets my vote for dish of the summer (though there's still time for competitors to vie for top spot).

Takara, a Japanese toy manufacturer, produced the first toys that would become Transformers in Japan in the early 1980s. Hasbro saw these Diaclone and Micro Change Series toys and licensed them, creating the Transformers brand. Today, both companies perpetuate the toy line, but is it true to say that Takara (Tomy) Transformers toys are regularly better than Hasbro releases? Keep reading!

Goldspot Brewing will shine on the Berkeley/Regis neighborhood in early 2014
Matt Hughes had a harder time thinking of a name for his brewery than he did for his kids, but the result seems to fit the bouncing baby business.
Goldspot Brewing, which will be located on Lowell Boulevard about a block from Regis University in northwest Denver, is named for the gold spot that symbolizes the sun on both the city and state flags.
See also: Diebolt Brewing opens in Sunnyside
"Since I moved to Colorado in 2005, I've fallen in love with the place and I can't imagine living anywhere else," says Hughes, who owns the brewery with his brother-in-law Alex Sward. "We wanted it to have a Colorado feel, but we also wanted the name to be more obscure" than just employing local geographical features or locations.
And although the brewery is named for Denver and Colorado, the taproom won't necessarily have any kind of theme. "Our theme is beer," Hughes says. "My favorite brewery in Denver is Great Divide. They take beers from around the world and put their own spin on them, and that's what we're hoping to do as well."
When it opens, possibly as soon as early spring 2014, Goldspot will feature several core beers made on a seven-barrel system, including an IPA, an imperial oatmeal stout and a wheat beer, but Hughes also plans to serve rotating seasonal ales and lagers.
Hughes worked as a brewer, sales rep and jack-of-all-trades for the Wynkoop Brewing Company for a year in 2011, and, says Sward, began talking to him then about starting their own brewery. Hughes didn't want to, but later changed his mind.
After taking business classes, securing finances and searching for a location, Hughes and Sward finally picked their spot just a block from Regis.
When it eventually opens, the brewery will feature a taproom with room for about seventy people and an outside patio area in a parking lot behind the building.

Private screening
Taking up offers of private health screening, outside of the NHS, is becoming increasingly popular as people seek assurance that they are not suffering from a serious health problem and as more companies advertise the private screening services that they provide.
The UK NSC's advice on this issue for GPs can be found below. A guide for the public in England is also available. Both these publications were updated in November 2014.
GP Practices can now order small quantities (in packs of 10) of this public information leaflet for free to discuss and give out during consultations. Orders should be made with Harlow Printing by contacting Becca Ord on email@example.com or 0191 4969735.
You can also view information comparing NHS screening to what is commonly offered privately.

Charles Avery
- 30 July — 26 September 2015
Charles Avery is one of the most single-minded artists working anywhere in the world today. In 2004 he embarked on what will be a lifelong project titled 'The Islanders'. 'The Islanders' is a painstakingly detailed description of a fictional world that functions in parallel to our own universe, realised in drawing, painting, sculpture and text.
These large-scale narrative drawings and sculptural installations (presented as souvenirs and objects from the Islands themselves) question our idea about the nature of time, place and being. Previously, elements of the project have been exhibited at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. In 2007 Avery represented Scotland at the 52nd Venice Biennale.

- 1 — 30 August 2015
Ancient chain mail patterns provide constant inspiration for Joanne Thompson, whose work has been exhibited internationally across Europe and the USA.
Experimenting with scale, weight, form and texture, Thompson combines complex structural patterns with dynamic movement, resulting in pieces that flow and stir with the body. They read both figuratively and as standalone constructs, each one a unique edition.
Though industrial in appearance, Thompson begins with individual handcrafted silver components, approaching each piece with the potential for accidental experimentation, resulting in organic twists within each form. To commemorate her 20th anniversary as a maker, this showcase features new and ambitious work constructed specifically for Open Eye Gallery, including the introduction of gold and precious materials into the work.

The Capercaillie's Song
- 1 — 30 August 2015
The Capercaillie's Song reveals a personal view of the flamboyant journey as John Bellany's lifelong muse and inspiration, brought to life through key works selected by Helen Bellany from the family collection.
From when they first met at Edinburgh College of Art in 1962 and subsequently moved to London, Helen Bellany embarked upon a chaotic but overall exuberant life as John's lifelong companion and muse. Aged only nineteen, she became immersed in the life of his friends and family background in Port Seton and Eyemouth, from which sprung the great outpouring of his creativity. The bond they shared throughout their tempestuous life, brought her as near as anyone could find themselves to the essence of his work.
This exhibition curated by Helen Bellany encompasses a vast span of John Bellany's life's work and includes The Capercaillie's Song, an expression of the pure joie de vivre which was a major feature of their life together, but one that, in paint, was not often so vividly expressed. One of the largest works on show, A Long Night's Journey into Day 1987, celebrates their remarriage after a breakup of more than a decade and speaks of the promise of all that might lie ahead. Further works illuminate personal moments within their family history that will be featured within Helen's forthcoming autobiography.

They're cats. So they're dancing to The Cure's "Lovecats," that standard of hip hop music. And just in case you missed the theme, they're both wearing leopard print. And then, I swear to you, Amelia bends over and presents her behind to Will. They missed the part where Will is supposed to bite her neck to subdue her. And the part where a cranky neighbor throws a shoe at them.
Kenny says, "Amelia, I think we can all agree that if we had a kitty like you we'd play with her all day." I am clutching my pearls. Nigel likes this pairing of dancers and I do too. Nigel also agrees with me that it wasn't really hip hop. It scares me when I mindmeld with Nigel.
Mary's screeching, which means she likes it. Cat sends them off the stage with a "Go find a dumpster somewhere else." I love her.
Janelle Issis, 24, is from Birmingham, AL, loves purple, can cook, and likes roller coasters. We should totally hang out. Dareian Kujawa, 20, left home to join the circus, used to play ice hockey, and does a great Donald Duck impression.
Sean Cheesman has given them a very physical African jazz routine. Janelle does a move that looks like it twisted things that shouldn't be twisted. Ouch.
Seconds into this routine we learn how flexible Janelle is. Wow. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be synchronized for these side by side moves, but they aren't. Janelle looks very awkward doing the most basic steps. Perhaps the fluidity of belly dancing moves isn't translating to the more sharp, angular moves I expect in African dancing.
Nigel says these two are very exciting dancers. Then we get a rundown of Janelle's injuries, including when she whacked her head on the door after the "Green Mile" which they now tell us required five stitches. Dareian gets a compliment for his work in the group routine. Nigel thinks this routine was memorable and that Janelle and Dareian will do very well in the voting.
Mary singles Janelle out for praise as fantastic and then calls Dareian a "powerhouse" with "great body lines." Kenny compliments Sean on his choreography and then goes around the world with his metaphor.
Promo spot for National Dance Day with viewer-submitted videos. People, I do not recommend dancing in a port-a-potty.
Eliana Girard, 21, hates raisins and is addicted to True Blood. (Eliana, have you read Suffering Succotash?) Cyrus Spencer, 22, is a Pisces and has lots of "gauges" -- those rings you put in your earlobes. And he also loves shoes.
They're dancing a routine from "Hairspray," choreographed by Tyce Diorio. One of the moves in this routine is the running man. I feel bad for both Eliana and Cyrus. They're dancing to '50s-inspired music, with 90s dance moves in 80s fashion. How do you sell that? That being said, they both have some tremendous charisma.
Mary's screeching, so, again, she likes it. Tyce is making a fool of himself in the audience. Way to pull focus, choreographer. Mary says, "People are going to watch this routine over and over again." Viewing buddy Diane and I exchange a long dubious side-eye followed by definitive shakes of the head.
Kenny loved the choreography and the performance. If this is the epitome of a good Broadway routine, I guess I just don't like Broadway. Nigel is impressed by Cyrus's handling of the choreography and then really pumps up Cyrus as an early favorite. Nigel also doesn't think the routine showed Eliana off to her best advantage, but says she's the "benchmark" for female contestants this season.
Audrey Case, 18, from Oklahoma, can fart with her neck, and loves elephants. Matthew Kazmierczak, 21, loves hiking, is a cat person, is scared of sharks, has 6 tattoos, and is terrified of the mannequin in the interview room.
Travis Wall is giving them a Titanic-themed love routine, based on the couch/sketch scene. And it's set to "Unchained Melody," which makes those of us in the audience think of an entirely different movie love scene. (It's called "Ghost," young people. Look it up.)
Audrey is indeed a tiny thing and Matthew is able to fling her around quite well. Overall, though, this isn't one of my favorite Travis pieces. The crowd goes wild, though, so what do I know?
Kenny says it was "exquisitely choreographed and beautifully danced." Nigel says it was his favorite routine of the night, because the music and the movement of the dance fit together so well. And then he says "chaise longue" beautifully. Mary calls it breathtaking and compliments Audrey specifically.
Lindsay Arnold, 18, doesn't like spiders or tomatoes and can sew. Cole Horibe, 26, calls himself a ninja and claims to be descended from one of the 47 Ronin Samurai.
They're dancing a Paso Doble choreographed by Jason Gilkinson. Instead of the usual bull/cape metaphor, Lindsay's persona is that of poison slowly invading and trying to kill Cole.
The music starts out sound like it will play well to Cole's martial arts background. Cole is not wearing a shirt and I'm being quite superficial and enjoying the view. There's too much strobe lighting happening, though. I always feel like that detracts from, rather than enhances the performance.
Standing ovation from the judges. Kenny says it was "mesmerizing" and one of the best routines he's ever seen on the show. Mary's loud, and we know what that means. Nigel says that was the best paso doble he's ever seen a male dancer do on this show. Legions of Pasha Kovalev fans just threw things at their television (myself included).
We have to wait until next week to see who goes home -- such suspense!

Tom Wilson (No. 10), shown from last season playing for the Plymouth Whalers, earned a spot on the roster of the NHL Washington Capitals.
- Filed Under
While the Plymouth Whalers are at practice this week in preparation for games Thursday at Windsor, Friday at Saginaw and at home at Compuware Arena Saturday against Saginaw, the 2013-14 National Hockey League season starts on Tuesday.
Two players who might have been suiting up this season for the Whalers - forward Tom Wilson and defenseman Connor Carrick - instead will open the year with the NHL Washington Capitals.
Wilson and Carrick are among 16 Whalers' alums cracking NHL opening night rosters.
Those players include: Wilson, Carrick and Michal Neuvirth (Washington); Gregory Campbell (Boston); Brett Bellemore (Carolina); John Mitchell (Colorado); Jared Boll and James Wisniewski (Columbus); Tyler Seguin (Dallas), Stephen Weiss (Detroit); Justin Williams (Los Angeles); David Legwand (Nashville); JT Miller (NY Rangers); James Neal (Pittsburgh); Tom Sestito (Vancouver).
Wilson and Carrick are surprises for some, but both played well over Washington's training camp and won jobs.

That is a lesson the government of Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon might heed as it continues to occupy the West Bank and Gaza at a cost that threatens to destroy the Israeli economy, impoverishing both occupiers and occupied.
Regions / Middle East & North Africa
Two recent polls show signs of a sharp decline in popular support for the Bush administration's policies in Iraq.
How is it possible to promote human rights and democracy in Iran without strengthening Washington's drive to dominate the world in general and the Middle East in particular?
The focus of the occupation regime is more on emergency repairs than on a major rehabilitation of Iraq's dilapidated and war-destroyed public infrastructure.
In the glow of the Iraq war's initial military success, most American peace activists felt profoundly demoralized.
Iraq demonstrates that the new U.S. approach to humanitarian action is unsustainable.
One thing to keep in mind about the current push for peace between Israelis and Palestinians is that Ariel Sharon is one of the most consistent political figures in the Middle East, and he keeps his word.
In fact, with each passing day, it is becoming more painfully obvious that the main categorical accusations against the regime of Saddam Hussein used by U.S. President George W. Bush and other senior administration officials to justify the war on Iraq sim
According to a poll released early last week by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press ( http://people-press.org/ ), America's image has become "dangerously" negative throughout the Arab and Muslim world.
Congress is set to give the Pentagon more than $400 billion to spend on war preparations and now, it seems, on the "non-wars."

Boy, there are two interesting grafs here.
In a statement, Kudrow's attorney Gerald Sauer said, "The jury's verdict is merely one step in the legal process. This case ultimately will be resolved at the appellate level. Ms. Kudrow has faith in the judicial system, and she believes that the eventual outcome of this contractual dispute will be in her favor."
How do think jurors feel after hemming and hawing day after day, sweating the details, you know, only to be told their brand-new decision just doesn't matter?
NOT GOOD, prolly.
But it gets better:
In a statement of his own, Scott Howard's attorney Mark Baute countered, "What generally happens now with unsophisticated actress clients is they overpay for filing a frivolous appeal that has no chance for success. The verdict is rock solid, and we look forward to collecting 10 percent, 16,000 dollars a month, in post-judgment interest while their frivolous appeal is pending. We will collect that interest for two years, which is how long it will take for the Court of Appeal to affirm this jury's righteous verdict."
Oh, so this kind of thing happens all the time, not with actors generally, but specifically with actresses, the "unsophisticated" ones, and just from recent cases, so we can generalize this particular case and know for sure what's going to happen? Wow.
Now if I were Lisa Kudrow, I'd be thinking, mmm, the math's off a bit, but mmmm, maybe I should cut a deal right now.
Is what I'd be thinking…
Here's the latest from Vogue (which of course has nothing, nothing at all to do with anything even possibly connected with "overt sexualization," oh no).
Leave us remember 2007:
"Four years ago, when Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a onetime businesswoman and actress, decided she wanted to have a baby with her husband, Gavin Newsom, former mayor of San Francisco,* she looked at the world into which she would be bringing a daughter and saw a bleak picture. Around her, a tabloid culture in which women were prized for cattiness and overt sexualization was thriving, and in the political realm, things didn't look much better."
All right, but 'round about the same time, I seem to recall somebody going on about how "the woman is the culprit" and that same somebody calling writer and fellow "girl" Heather Maddan a liar.
Photo: Girls Club Entertainment
OK fine.
Thanks for your insights, Vogue!
* And current Lt. Governor, don't forget.
Now it was a little funny earlier this year when a high level person at Rich King* Casting started quoting sub-minimum wages for extras in that new Contagion movie starring, I don't know, everybody, you know, these people right here (and let's throw in Famous Movie Director Steven Soderbergh too – he's a luminary as well):
But then somebody, no not somebody from the local Film Commish and not any MSM reporters (who don't seem to be aware of what the minimum wage is in the place where they live and work), but somebody up here in the 415 got word down to Los Angeles County about The Law 'n stuff.
So fine, the RKC people changed their minds and decided to pay extras "$80″ for up to eight hours (and then they finally did the math and decided that $79.36 would be the wage, cause, you know, después de todos, dinero es dinero.)
But now word comes that RKC thinks it's OK to pay people up to six weeks** later?
And the extras still haven't all been paid?
And RKC is ignoring contact attempts from said extras?
Could all this be true?
Well let's hear from a Real Life Contagion Extra:
"I got in the film as well, but its now mid April, and I have not seen the payment in the 6 weeks that the casting company stated. Got my work receipt right here – would be nice if someone from this casting agency would follow up with my contact attempts.
"It was still a really cool day either way. I got to see an amazing set up of the set @ Candlestick and didn't mind standing/sitting around all day. That is what background extras do. All of these girls were being very rude that day saying "when are we going to meet the stars", and "I can't believe they are making us stand around", and "come on! I wan't to be in the movie already!! Shortly after one of the assistants heard those remarks, our group was dismissed for the afternoon. It is like they never listened to what they told us at the casting meeting at Fort Mason, or the information the casting directors told us over the phone when they offered us the part. I did not get an email confirmation after that day, but a personal phone call.
"Would be nice to see my check, but I will give them a bit more time to respond since I bet the other 5,000 are hounding them as well. I mean come on – I am on unemployment – it would be nice to have the $79 bucks right now, but I can wait a bit"
Now, isn't it ironic, dont'cha think, that a company what has a cavalier attitude about at least one kind of wage and hour rule would drag its feet about making payments? (Well, maybe not, in my experience.)
Anyway, all you non-union extras ought to form a union or something so you can start playing hardball with the Hollywood vanga vanga.
So why don't you pay all your extras ASAP, Rich King Casting? Like posthaste or something.
Now, speaking of Hollywood, wouldn't you like to see a list of all the movies that Steven Soderbergh has seen the past twelve months? Sure you would. See it after the jump.
*Forget about Obama's birth certificate – I want to see the one with "Rich King" printed on it, and oh, Sandy Beach too, I want to see one of those as well – I think Hollywood still has a few guys around with that name.
**I should make a horror film – it'll be about the horrors of Regular People dealing with Hollywood People. It'll be called 42 Days Later.
Have you heard the news?
"AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL ACTIVISTS CONVERGE IN SAN FRANCISCO TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF HUMAN RIGHTS WORK —- Joan Baez, West Coast Co-Founder of the Organization, To Be Honored for a Lifetime of Human Rights Activism —- Model Christy Turlington, Grammy Winners Steve Earle and Saúl Hernández, Rapper Jahi and Actress Nazanin Boniadi Join Former Prisoners of Conscience to Tackle Today's Challenges"
CT likes the Amnesty, but she doesn't like the fur. Fair 'nough:
All the deets:
San Francisco – Up to one thousand activists from across the country will converge in San Francisco from March 18-20 to mark Amnesty International's 50th anniversary and tackle a range of pressing human rights concerns at the organization's Annual General Meeting. The conference, "50 Years: Shining a Light on Human Rights," will take place at the Fairmont Hotel and is open to the public. Registration fees range from $75 to $125 for the weekend and are $40 for Friday evening, which includes a tribute to human rights icon Joan Baez.
The three-day event includes a roster of noted human rights defenders who have shown enormous bravery and commitment on a wide range of human rights issues, including: Hina Jilani, former U.N. Special Representative for Human Rights, who previously had been arrested and received death threats for her legal work in Pakistan; Michael Posner, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor and former AIUSA board member; Lydia Cacho, Mexican author and journalist who was illegally arrested and beaten for her work protecting women and girls; Luis Perez, the first undocumented immigrant in the United States to earn a law degree; and Charlotte Bunch, who was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996 for her global organizing for women's rights.
Former President Jimmy Carter will commemorate the organization's 50th anniversary via video address. Supermodel/maternal health advocate Christy Turlington Burns, singer/death penalty abolitionist Steve Earle, rapper Jahi, actress and AIUSA spokesperson Nazanin Boniadi, State Radio/Dispatch musician and activist Chad Stokes, Jaguares vocalist and activist Saúl Hernández, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty and others will raise their voices along with internationally known activists to carry the torch into a new era of human rights work.
"Millions of people worldwide live in fear of persecution by repressive governments or armed factions and millions more suffer extreme deprivation," said Larry Cox, executive director of AIUSA. "But we are not powerless against this injustice. Amnesty International has proved for 50 years that collective action is a powerful force for change. We are thrilled to come back to San Francisco, which has long been a stronghold for Amnesty International activists, and honor those who have made the movement's success possible."
Friday evening will open with a tribute to folk legend and human rights activist Joan Baez, who devoted a full year to help establish Amnesty International chapters in the San Francisco Bay area in the early '70s, stayed active with the organization as a member of the National Advisory Board and later performed during the renowned "Conspiracy of Hope" tour. The Friday evening event at the Fairmont will feature tribute performances from Grammy winners Steve Earle and Saúl Hernández (of the Mexican rock band Jaguares) and musician/activist Chad Stokes (State Radio/Dispatch).
"Whether marching arm in arm with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or stuffing envelopes in our first home office in San Francisco, Joan's commitment to human rights has known no bounds," said Cox. "It is no exaggeration to say that many attending the annual conference are direct descendants of a human rights family that Joan created. Her devotion is a constant reminder of what can be accomplished when one will put herself on the line to effect change. We are truly honored to be in her presence tonight and are grateful for her lasting legacy."
A special focus on students and activism will be the core of AIUSA's youth summit, designed for people aged 14 to 25, at the University of California, Berkeley, on Thursday, March 17. Attendees will hear from John Jackson, Vice President of Social Responsibility at MTV. Throughout the conference, activists of all ages will address a range of human rights concerns including the death penalty; maternal mortality; migrant rights; holding companies accountable for damage to human rights and the environment; journalists at risk; and the war on terror (for the complete program, please visit www.amnestyusa.org/agm).
The annual conference will also be the site for the launch of the Amnesty Global Ethics Series, a series of books on human rights from Amnesty International and W.W. Norton & Company, that includes some of the most distinguished scholars and writers today. Kwame Anthony Appiah, Princeton University professor and son of one of Amnesty International's first prisoners of conscience, is the general editor of the series and the author of the books' forward; he, as well as Elaine Scarry, author of How to Think in an Emergency, the first book in the series, and Rory Stewart and Philip Pettit, authors of future volumes, will speak.
The weekend includes several other human rights awards. Hamza Latif, an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan, will receive the first ever Ladis Kristof Memorial Fellowship for Organizing and Activism. The fellowship was created in memory of Kristof, a founder of Amnesty International local group 48 and father of noted New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. The conference will also showcase AIUSA's newest high school essay competition winners, Catherine Lovrien of Minnesota and Mahsa Taskindoust of New York, who addressed the question, How Has the Promotion or Defense of Human Rights Changed Our World? Each is the recipient of a $1500 prize and a trip to the annual conference. The annual event is supported by the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation.
"Amnesty's 50th anniversary is a moment to celebrate the power of grassroots activism and to renew our commitment to build toward a world in which every person enjoys universal human rights," said Rini Chakraborty, Western regional director for AIUSA. "Together we will continue our work to free the wrongfully imprisoned, end the death penalty and torture, promote economic justice and migrant rights and fulfill the promise of human rights for all."
Amnesty International — today the largest grassroots human rights organization in the world with nearly 3 million members worldwide — has helped win the freedom of tens of thousands of individuals jailed for expressing beliefs or defending basic rights, shut down torture chambers, halted executions, and established laws and treaties to protect the freedom and dignity of people around the world — and in the United States. Amnesty International was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977.
Turns out that you extras working on the local Contagion shoots are going to get $80 per working day instead of the $64 that Rich King Productions was talking about the other day.
Simply, the people at JKP were unaware that S.F. has its own minimum wage of $9.92 per hour.
Anyway they're back down in Los Angeles now, but they've just sent a message to me how they going to pay $80 for starters and then more after the first eight hours, if necessary.
Break a leg!
[UPDATE: It's all good, hard-working extras. Just got the call from Down South about how you all are going to get at least $80 per working day. They were all apologetic, saying stuff like, "Thanks, you really saved our bacon on this one." Turns out that San Francisco County is the only place in the entire state what has a higher-than-CA min. wage.]
That means that $64 ($8 times 8 hours) isn't going to cut it, right?
Remember those "unfortunate," "innocent" 18-year-old faux prostitutes in Chinatown from the time that horrible Trauma series came to the 415 all lies and jest? Those people got paid way more than $64 a day – it was close to $80. So why should you Contagion extras get paid any less?
Is it possible that Rich King* Casting doesn't know the minimum wage in the area where it's casting?
Those playing hos back in ought-nine got paid minimum wage, so why not you?
Feel the excitement:
(And the beauty part is that there are "no fees to apply" Really? No fees to stand around for hours trying to get a gig that doesn't pay minimum wage? Sweet, Thanks Rich King Casting.)
So, extras, practice this line: "I knows I gots to get paid!"
Start chanting all together and then your $64 paychecks will increase to $79.36 paychecks tout de suite.
Of course, if they take you to the East Bay or if they shoot on Federal land(?) in the 415, well then maybe you won't get your full $9.92 per hour. But they're talking about filming at Candlestick Park and Chinatown,** where San Francisco laws are in full effect.
In closing, these pretzels are making me thirsty!***

*C'mon, "Rich King?" I suppose that's better than Sandy Beach or something. (Never trust anyone from the movie biz.)
**Contagion in Chinatown? Hey, remember SARS? Restaurant owners would come out on Grant and to try to, physically, pull diners inside. Bad times.
***That's from the comments section on SFGate. (Kramer was going to be more than an extra on that Woody Allen film, but anyway…)
Market Street is playing host to the return of Jenna Elfman to San Francisco these days. She starred in Dharma and Greg on the TV back in the 90's and the oughts, so she's what people think about when they think of San Francisco and Haight-Ashbury and hippies and whatnot.
Click to expand
And she's Yet Another Scientologist, did not know that. She's part of a decades-long attempt to normalize Scientology as Your Next Religion. (This bus shelter ad is as much about that effort as selling Flip cameras, actually.)
You see, that's how they roll Down Hollywood Way.
So, mommas, don't let your daughters grow up to be 5'10" ZZ Top or Depeche Mode video models:
That's your Lesson Of The Day.
Moye has the video and the story of actress Kelly Hu's thrilling taxi ride in China, where if get lost on the freeway you can just hang a Louie to get back on track.
Mind you, "don't try this in Beijing."
But in Tianjin, well it's totally wide open.
Nice GPS installation you've got there. Real professional…
Stay safe!

I have a dual column layout using CSS:

float: left;
width: 463px;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 12px;
float: right;
width: 463px;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 12px;
text-align: center;
padding: 40px;
This works fine in Firefox, but creates problems in IE. The main problem is that the content of these two columns is dynamic and never amounts to the same height with either column sometimes having a bigger height than the other. In IE, the left and right columns align with the bottom which creates a variable amount of space between the shorter column and the nav. What I would like is to have the columns align with the top/nav and then when an element is inserted with ajax at the top of the left_column, it just pushes the content in that column down and the two columns remained aligned at the top. I hope that made sense, any help is appreciated.
Using igoogle layout as an example, I have added the following css and it seems to be working:

display: block;
float: none;
margin: 0 0 1em;
overflow: hidden;
position: static;
width: auto;
.column {
display: block;
width: 40%;
float: left;
margin-left: 0px;
I have yet to fully implement it, but this seems to be aligning the columns with the top regardless of height and expands/contracts with the top as a reference point.

The 2011 Caprice PPV will be available in two configurations: a 355-hp V8 that generates an estimated 384 lb-ft of torque and a tamer V6. An undercover version will also be available. Regardless of how it is configured, the sleek Caprice PPV is likely to make an impression on traffic scofflaws. Revealing the concept car, GM executive Jim Campbell touted the car's bold and commanding presence. He asked, "Can you imagine this baby in your rearview mirror?"

First, mapping rig point to a model still requires manual rigging. In other words, there is still no automatic rigging in Unity 5. It is 2015. Automatic rigging on simple models should have been possible by now. Furthermore, Github user ***** already made his automatic rigging algorithm open-sourced for programmers. Surely unity could easily integrate the algorithm into Unity engine.
Second of all, the Unity Store feels and works outdated. When downloading a tool or a scene from the store, you have to click multiple buttons and yet sometimes the download does not start. Furthermore, the download speed is abysmal. This is a problem to beginners who always need assets from the store for practice.
Third, plane tilting affects everything. Sometimes, you only want certain aspects to be affected when modifying or tilting a plane. However, Unity cannot handle it properly, resulting in errors or unwanted contrast difference or tilted light origin unexpectedly. This greatly affects high level users. One way to handle this situation is to use integrate everything into a single object during plane tilting. This may hog RAM, but it might be the best way to handle such simple menace.
Unity 5 is great overall, needs to fix some issues and it will be the best open-sourced engine out there.

Syria crisis: 'clear and convincing evidence of sarin gas' says UN
A report by a chief UN weapons inspector confirms that sarin gas was used in Syria 'on a relatively large scale', but does not list a responsible party
Joseph Charlton
Joseph Charlton is Media Advisor to Evgeny Lebedev and a comment writer for The Independent.
Monday 16 September 2013
UN weapons inspectors have issued the first official confirmation that chemical arms have been used in the Syrian conflict, while leaving the question of who launched the attack unanswered.
The inspectors were mandated to report on whether chemical weapons were used and if so which ones — not on who was responsible.
Chief UN chemical weapons investigator Ake Sellstrom report said in his report: "The environmental, chemical and medical samples we have collected provide clear and convincing evidence that surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used... in the Ghouta area of Damascus'' on 21 August.
"The conclusion is that chemical weapons have been used in the ongoing conflict between the parties in the Syrian Arab Republic... against civilians including children on a relatively large scale," the report says.
"This result leaves us with the deepest concern," the report said.
UN warcrimes investigators have also said that they are investigating 14 potential chemical attacks in Syria since they began monitoring Syrian human rights abuses in September 2011.
Earlier today, France, the US and UK put up a united front in support of the Russian-brokered Geneva deal calling for Mr Assad to give up the country's stockpile of chemical weapons.
John Kerry said that the US, UK and France have agreed that President Bashar al-Assad will suffer severe consequences if he fails to comply with a rigid UN timetable for the removal of Syria's chemical weapons.
Emerging from talks with William Hague and François Hollande, the US Secretary of State told a Paris news conference that the three powers would offer Mr Assad "no lifeline" if he failed to stick to the dates and guidelines drawn up by Russia and the US in the Geneva agreement presented on Saturday 14 September.
The US-Russian agreement, which will be overseen by the UN security council, calls for Mr Assad to account for his stockpile of chemical weapons within the week and allow international inspectors to eliminate the armoury before mid-2014.
Foreign Secretary William Hague echoed Mr Kerry, saying:
"The task ahead is very difficult and complex but our three countries are united and determined to use our full weight as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and as each other's close allies to implement the agreement on Syria's chemical weapons, to maintain the pressure on the Assad regime, and to bring about a peaceful end to this appalling conflict."
An unnamed aide to François Hollande, speaking after the three nations had met, also said the priority was to keep Mr Assad to strict deadlines on giving up his arsenal.
"The idea is to stick to a firm line," the aide said. "They've agreed to seek a strong and robust resolution that sets precise and binding deadlines with a calendar."
The Geneva deal came about after the US pressed the pause button on its push for military strikes that earlier this month seemed imminent.
After calling for Congressional authorisation to launch targeted strikes in response to a chemical attack in Syria on 21 August that is said to have killed more than 1,400 people, President Obama asked politicians in Washington to delay a vote while his administration had talks with Russia, a key sponsor of the Assad regime.
Q&A: The Geneva framework
Q. What is the agreement?
A. Following talks in Geneva, the US and Russia have agreed to work on a UN Security Council resolution that would secure and destroy Syria's chemical weapons stocks and remove its capability to produce such weapons. The resolution would come under Chapter 7 of the UN charter, which allows for military action. But US officials have acknowledged that Russia would veto such a step and they do not contemplate seeking authorisation for the use of force.
Q. Is a military option off the table?
A. No. The US has indicated that it retains the right to strike militarily if Syria does not comply with the agreement, a point reiterated by the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, yesterday when he said that "the threat of force is real".
Q. What are the next steps?
A. On Saturday, Syria was given a week to submit a "comprehensive listing... of its chemical weapons agents, types of munitions, and location and form of storage, production, and research and development facilities". Next, the US and Russia have agreed that international inspectors should be on the ground in Syria by November and complete their initial work by the end of the month. They must be given "immediate and unfettered" access, and the destruction of chemical agent mixing and equipment must be completed by the end of November. The final goal is the "complete elimination" of all of Syria's chemical weapons stocks, material and equip- ment in the first half of next year.
Q. What are the challenges?
A. Numerous. Despite Russia's influence with Syria, there is no indication that the Assad government will sign off on the details of the agreement. The US and Russia do not agree on the number or whereabouts of Syrian chemical weapons sites, and how the safety of inspectors would be ensured is uncertain. Ultimately, no specific penalties for Syrian noncompliance have been agreed. AP

Israel, Iran, ISIS in Bible Prophecy will be sent to you in thanks for your gift to Harvest Ministries this month.
Greg Laurie pastors Harvest Christian Fellowship (one of America's largest churches) in Riverside, California and Harvest Orange County in Irvine, California.

Princeton, NJ (January 10th, 2013)' cmiVFX releases a new, rock solid, Luxology Modo training video that covers the principles of Re-Topology. While the phrase "retopo" is used as a verb in most studios already, there are only a few successfully created tools that allow for true retopo with limited amounts of redundant labor often found in those "fly by night" 3rd party apps found online. When it comes to converting your geometry, you want the best possible solution with the most consistent results. cmiVFX has been involved with writing our own retopo apps through out the years, but we feel that this video demonstrates a superior method of keeping highly detailed topology found in your ZBrush or Mudbox mesh exports. Now that Luxology has merged up with TheFoundry, it would be a good time to start learning the Modo Workflow. Now you can learn how to do it in just a few hours, thanks to the excellent work from our very own, Wes McDermott.
Short Description
Learn how to take detailed meshes with high density points and reduce them to manageable source meshes for the animation pipeline.
(General 3D Modeling Knowledge would be helpful but not required to watch this video)

my baby boy will not move, i've seen previous post about this & multiple people say drink a cold, sugary drink & then lay on your left side.. tried it & still nothing. I dont want to over react bc many of you say your child has lazy days so i'm thinking maybe this is just one of his off day but the other day I saw a post where a woman didnt feel a kick & she lost her baby.. I havent felt him all day long not once. usually he his VERY active. so should I call or just wait it out until the morning to see if anything has changed?
No matter what I do!
I would go to the L&D and get checked out.
