Well we're still having a great time with food but my daughter has had some issues with constipation (cooked a prune in her porridge which helped!) and painful wind. All the foods that seem appropriate and she really enjoys seem to be those that cause wind - green beans, broccoli, avocado... also apparently not chewing food thoroughly can cause wind. It really seems to hurt her and she sometimes wakes up screaming with it Does anyone know what foods don't cause wind that are good for BLW?

I just started my son on BLW yesterday, and of course on seeing a photo and video clip of him munching on a roast carrot and some pumpkin my MIL has told us he should be eating purées and rice cereal
I trust my decision to BLW 100% but I am struggling to find a few good responses about not needing the iron fortified foods and feeding him mush. I'll be seeing her on Sunday and at the moment I'm really annoyed at her response so I was hoping there may be an easy to read info sheet I can give her
Posted 06 November 2011 - 11:12 PM
I am seriously thinking of starting BLW but Im a little worried about our DD choking, she is now 6 months.
Could someone possibly give me a few examples of what foods would be good to start her on?
Posted 06 November 2011 - 11:32 PM
mumof3b1g The risk of choking is there with eating or drinking anything, whether pureed, mashed, or cooked or uncooked however. Obviously certain food are more likely to be choking hazards (sultanas, whole grapes, etc) but the important thing is to know what to do if choking occurs, so the best thing would be to do a baby first aid course. Soft foods like (ripe) avocado wedges, steamed carrot sticks, steamed broccoli florets, etc are a good place to start.
AFM my baby is 6.5 months and at the moment I am offering him solids once a day, usually bread dipped in pureed food, with steamed carrot sticks, avocado wedges, steamed sweet potato, etc.
At what point should I start having more than one meal a day with him? He is obviously getting some food into him (carrot in his poos), but is still having 5-6 breastfeeds a day.
Posted 07 November 2011 - 07:23 AM
I highly recommend reading the book: Baby Led Weaning - helping your baby to love good food. It helps you answer the questions you will invariably get, even if you are already confident in your own reasons for BLW. I got it from our local library.
Posted 07 November 2011 - 08:54 AM
We are really enjoying our BLW journey. DD is 7 mths and loves putting the food in her mouth, having a go at chewing then swirls it around her mouth and spits it out. Some of it definitely goes down but not alot...just wondering at what age do they really start to swallow.
Posted 07 November 2011 - 01:09 PM
I'm just about to start BLW. I tried my DD on rice cereal yesterday and it was a big failure, until I let her play with it. So, we're about to start just giving her softened foods to eat herself.
She's over 5 months old now and I'm not sure if she is ready for solids or not, but at least this way she controls what she eats. She can sit well in the high chair with good neck control, grab her dummy and pop it in her mouth.
She hates having anything other than her dummy or boobie being put into her mouth...
I thought I'd start with pumpkin (that was what we started with when my eldest DD was starting solids). I also want to try avocado.
When can I start breads and pastas etc???
Posted 07 November 2011 - 07:47 PM
Hi Ladies,
DS is only 14 weeks but I want to try BLW with him when he shows signs of readiness and interest. Could you recommend me any books? Ive searched The Book Depository and found Baby-led Weaning: Helping Your Baby to Love Good Food but I've realised this is an earlier addition and they have since published a new one (currently out of stock).. Any other authors or books anyone can recommend?
Look forward to joining these threads in a few months
Posted 18 November 2011 - 07:48 AM
Hi! I'm new here! My little guy is 5.5 months old, and been showing a little readiness, so I've started offering him a modified version of what we are having for dinner.
So far we have had some success with broccoli, avocado and mushroom all going in the mouth and being moved around.
I'm planning on starting to offer him fruit for lunch, and then stick with the dinner as well for a while.
We had a really stressful start to breast feeding, so I am really hoping that BLW is a more enjoyable foray into food and we can all enjoy it..
I was dreading solids until I came across BLW and now I am really excited by it....
Here we go!

My son really got the hang of eating about 9/10 months. It does take a while for them to connect eating=full/satisfied tummy.

This book is really essential reading. I don't think it would matter buying an older copy as the principles are still the same. It's not like there's new discoveries in the world of BLW if you know what I mean

Re the iron thing - it's been drummed into people that babies need iron from 6 months, but actually all babies are born at term are born with a store of nutrients. It's from 6 months that they begin to go down. Iron levels don't go "poof" overnight.
This is from the BLW book pages 39-40 of Baby-Led Weaning by Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett. If I'm not allowed to post it - feel free to delete it mods.
"Babies are born with stores of nutrients accumulated during their time in the womb. These stores start to be used from the moment the baby is born but the amounts in his milk feedings are enough to ensure that he still has plenty. From six months onward, the balance shifts, so that they baby begins very gradually to need more from his diet than breast milk or formula alone can supply.
It's important to recognize that, at six months, most babies are only just beginning to outgrow their milk-only diet. Most full-term babies have adequate stores of, for example, iron, to see them through for quite a bit longer without a problem - they don't run out of anything overnight. But they need to be introduced to solids at around six months so that they can develop the skills they need to eat different foods and get used to new tastes, ready for when they really do begin to rely on other foods as their main source of nourishment.
A baby's slowly increasing need for more nutrients seems to coincide with the gradual development of his self-feeding skills."
I cannot recommend the book highly enough. I has EVERYTHING you need to know and arm yourself with knowledge so that you can answer people when they question your choices.
Posted 20 November 2011 - 10:17 PM
DS is 6 months on thursday and we're thinking about starting BLW with him this week. I think he's ready but I guess there is only one way to find out! I have read Gill Rapley's book and am looking forward to DS discovering a whole new world. We have an avocado that is just perfect, ripe but still a little firm and I'm thinking of trying this tomorrow night with him. Is this an ok first food or should I start with some steamed carrots instead?
I also have a question about his teeth. He got his first teeth at 4 months and so I'm wondering if I need to start brushing them after eating solids? I bought a baby toothbrush and some baby toothpaste today just incase but do I need to use them? I can imagine it's not going to be easy, he hates me doing anything to his face even wiping his nose can ba a challenge sometimes.
Thanks in advance, hopefully I'll be reporting some success stories soon
Posted 22 November 2011 - 07:56 PM
So we tried some food with DS tonight... Not one piece got down We tried some avocado cut into thick slices and carrot sticks steamed. He got a few of them in his mouth and bit down but them had a 'OMG what is that?!' face on. It was very funny and cute. So only a few attempts at a chew but it's a place to start. He did have a fantastic time grabbing at things, feeling the textures and finger painting with the smooshed avocado on his table
A few things I noticed was the avocado was a bit slippery so will wait to try it again when he's a bit older or is having things on toast. And the carrots were a little too cooked so broke up in his hands to easily. So will try again tomorrow with something firmer.

Tell her that rice cereal made your bub constipated! A little white lie but it's very common (at least for my DD it was).
Posted 02 December 2011 - 10:03 AM
Hello all! I've been doing BLW with my little one since she started solids at 6 months, she is now 9 months and WE LOVE IT!
So I just thought I'd drop in here and answer some of the questions. As PPs have said the book is essential reading, and I'm sure an older version would be fine. I borrowed mine from the library.
To the person who asked about first foods. Yes avocado would be fine, really anything (barring chocking hazards like nuts, or salty processed foods) that your baby can pick up is good! In the first few weeks I had good success with sticks of roasted vegetables. So a stick of roasted carrot, roasted sweet potato was very popular. I found these easier for her to keep a hold of - avocado for example is very slippery and mushes up in her hand quickly. She can handle it now that she has more developed fine motor control. Fingers of mango with the skin left on, cucumber quartered lengthways, whole strawberries, half a nectarine. French toast was DD's first food I think!
I introduced one meal in the first month, two meals in the second month, three in the third. But if she was awake for other meals during that time then she was definitely included and offered food. Since she is in control of how much she eats and breastfeeds I didn't need to worry about how much she was or wasn't eating.
My extended family were so skeptical at first. It was the topic of family gossip for quite some time! My MIL and mum were so worried she was going to chock and starve to death. But they are the biggest converts now! They defend BLW to anybody who criticizes! Once they saw it in action they were so impressed. My mum and MIL now go on and on about how sensible and natural it is, and how they wish they did it instead of wasting all that time with purées and spoon feeding! I would suggest anybody with concerned family members to buy the book and get them to read the section on chocking/gagging. DD only gagged a couple of times but it was scary for others to see because they didn't understand the difference between chocking and gagging, and they didn't understand that babies need to gag a bit to learn, and they didn't understand that they need to just be calm and not freak.
My life is somuch easier than my friends who spoon feed. While they're stressing about how much their baby is eating, while they're mashing and spoon feeding, while their own food gets cold - and there I am tucking into my hot food while I trust that DD will eat what she needs. It rocks.
Posted 07 December 2011 - 08:39 PM
Hi - just hoping to get some advice, I started with BLW a couple of days ago but am not doing it properly. We tried some carrot, zucchini and potato. DS (5.5 months and a big bub) knows he wants it and can get some in, but not quick enough and so is getting very frustrated and crying as he can see the rest of us eating. As a result, I am giving him a bit to hold or even offer the piece to his mouth (which I know is against the rules) but he is diving for it and it isatisfies him more but I'm feeling that its defeating the purpose, as I may as well spoonfeed (like I did with DD) as feed this way - my own dinner is still getting cold!
Any advice appreciated, Belinda
Posted 08 December 2011 - 08:30 AM
Belinda - is he really hungry? I always make sure DS has had a breastfeed sometime within the last hour before offering solids and if not give him a quick top up before we sit down. Because they are just learning and can't feed themselves quickly or easily if they are hungry they can get very frustrated very easily. Remember it's about discovering new tastes, textures etc at this stage not necessarily getting as much food into them as possible.
I have handed DS things I think your allowed to hand them stuff just not supposed to put things in their mouth. Saying that though the only way DS eats banana is for me to hold it, he then holds my fingers and brings his mouth to it.
Posted 09 December 2011 - 08:10 PM
Belinda, it's tough seeing them frustrated, but it's all part of the learning process and doesn't last long. If you always have to "help" him, he'll take longer to "get" it. At that age, definately give a milk feed before food so that he's not hungry and make sure that he's not too tired either so that the meal time's as relaxed as possible.

Hi there!
New poster to this thread
We have started baby led weaning a few weeks ago, and it is going pretty well! I love seeing the expression on DD's face as she tries a new taste. She starts out pretty slow; just touching and looking at the food, but then she starts picking it up and eating it. For the first couple of weeks I don't think much was going down, but she was doing a lot of licking and sucking. Now in the last few days she seems to be actually swallowing some - we'll see if it makes a difference at the other end Just in these few weeks I've noticed she is improving in handling the food, so if nothing else, I think it's a great learning experience.
DD has always been quite vocal about what she doesn't like - refusing the bottle and the dummy, as well as crying/pushing away when BF if she wanted one side and I offered the other. Because of this I was quite dreading starting solids, until I learnt about baby led weaning. It was mentioned as an option at our MCHN food session, so that night I went home and googled to find out more, and was quite excited by the concept. I've been slowly reading these past threads to get ideas, and have bought the baby led weaning cookbook.
At the moment I'm struggling a little bit with explaining to other's the concept ("but when do you give the puree's", how do you know she's eating enough, etc?); so that starts to put doubts in my mind as well. But then I try to remember the mantra - 'food until one is fun', and also seeing how she is enjoying the food experience without me needing to persuade her to eat is great. It feels so natural to include her in our meals if she is awake.
Food hits so far have been cucumber, mango with the skin on (that got giggles the other day), roast potato and pumpkin, cooked mushrooms, watermelon (v. messy - I highly recommend going naked under the bib for this one - except for the nappy of course!!!), pear slices, and vegie soup on a pre-loaded spoon.
I've only offered one bit of meat so far, and there wasn't much interest in that yet, so that's to be continued. I have a peanut allergy and DD has some eczema, so I'm taking a bit slowly and intend to introduce the common allergy foods with the 3 days between.
For offering water, I've been alternating between a little shot glass and a sippy cup - the shot glass is the most successful atm, but want her to get used to the sippy cup for when we are out and about, and also so that it could be an option for EBM if I need to go out.
I have a couple of questions for the experienced BLW-ers:
- Any recommendations for little cups for the babies (ie. not sippy cups). The one I'm using at the moment is a glass one and it seems to be fine, but not sure if I should be using a plastic one instead? If so, where to get one from?
- Also, how do you manage having dinner with the baby? I've been offering dinner sometimes around 5.30pm and I've been eating with her, and then DP has his dinner later when he gets home - is that what other's do?

Hi. Sounds like BLW is coming along nicely for you.
Cups - I've been using plastic shot glasses from the cheapo shops. They're good for little hands, though DS likes me to hold it for him.
Dinner is completely up to you and whatever works for your family. I often save some dinner for DS from the previous night as DH and I like to eat later in the evening. He's happy to eat dinner on his own and I just supervise him. I also have things on hand to whip up if the food's not appropriate like tinned baked beans, tuna, vegies I can microwave. I sometimes make him his own dinners like scrambled eggs. In my freezer I also have a stash of cooked stews, risotto, pasta sauce etc that I can deforst and serve with vegies.
The awesome thing with BLW is that anything goes and you do what works for your family
Posted 10 December 2011 - 10:17 PM
Thanks Kitty Fantastico - I'll have a look around for those cups. Thanks for sharing about how you manage dinner, that sounds good to me; we might look to do something similar (it would then give a bit more time for dinner prep which is something else I've been struggling with - I'm not the best cook in the world hehe!).
Posted 14 December 2011 - 12:11 PM
Thanks BlueDragon and Kitty Fantastico. I am stil BFIng beforehand, its a bit hit and miss how tired he is. If he's up, he sits with us. If he's sitting with us, he wants to eat regardless of how tired he is. I'm not fussed if its not much, but the frustration is difficult. And perhaps that is more obvious when he's tired.
I will keep trying not to help him - thanks for the encouragement.
Squeak's mum - for DD, she wanted a glass like ours so I just bought a plastic tumbler from the picnic ware section of Target. It was close enough to the real thing for her and she managed quite well.
Posted 14 December 2011 - 07:42 PM
We have been doing BLWing for a month now and DS is getting very good with his coordination and aim, particularly carrot sticks. Initially he also opened his mouth for me when I gave him some lumpy purees on a spoon and he was really embracing solids.
This week, DS (6.5m) has clamped his little mouth shut whenever I try to spoon feed him. He'll happily feed himself (but not much goes in). I was hoping we could do a mixture of spoon and self-feeding as spoon feeding is SO much cleaner for when we go out. I'm so worried about what solids he can/will eat when we go overseas in 3 months time. Jar baby food is plentiful but freshly prepared BLW-style food not so in restaurants!
I wonder if giving him greek yoghurt on a spoon has turned him off spoons :-(
Any advice?

The Hire More Heroes Act is misguided. There is no veterans' unemployment crisis.
"Americans may be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. The unemployment rate in 2014 for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest level in seven years of tracking these veterans. "
What Government Should Actually Do To Support Veterans' Employment
"The latest crisis at the Department of Veterans Affairs has called into question again the proper role of government in the care of our veterans. Whereas healthcare is clearly in shambles, veterans' employment is another realm in which well-meaning government involvement has been inefficient at best and ineffective or counterproductive at worst. "
Employment and Returning Veterans
"Peter Gudmundsson talked about the availability of jobs for returning service members."
The four myths and opportunities of hiring veterans today
"In an era when "support our troops" bumper stickers are common and billboards and radio advertisements abound with rallying calls to give veterans a job, it is not surprising that many employers are overwhelmed and confused. Good intentions permeate most efforts to employ veterans at the national, state and local levels."
Beyond Altruism
"Among the fondest memories Peter Gudmundsson '85 has of his three years as an active-duty U.S. Marine officer was the time in 1987 when, off the coast of Vietnam, he stood on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship looking up at the Soviet planes flying overhead. What was particularly memorable, he says, was not the plane flying overhead, but the reaction of the men in his platoon"
Money For Lunch
"Money for Lunch host Bert Martinez interviewed Peter Gudmundsson. Discussed veteran hiring."
Helping veterans overcome job search challenges
"Mike Rollins is featured on America Now. Recently, America Now visited a RecruitMilitary job fair held at the Hurst Conference Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "
U.S. military veterans march on job fair to prepare for return to civilian workface
"By Lore Croghan They came, 300 strong, to Manhattan Center Thursday, soldiers and sailors and leathernecks, all in need of a job. For military veterans, it can be a hard battle to get back into the civilian workforce. A job fair just for them, organized by a former Marine Captain, was meant to make their fight a little easier. "I'm a certified sharpshooter - what does that mean to a ci..."
Veterans Look To Transition To Civilian Life At Midtown Job Fair
"It is tough enough for veterans to find civilian jobs when they end their military duty. In the current job market, the situation is even worse. On Tuesday, more than 2,000 veterans crowded a Midtown hotel to attend a job fair just for them. For 4 years U.S. Navy technician, Nelson Romero loaded live ammunition into airplanes on a marine amphibious ship. Now, he is looking for a job. Like ma..."
Out of Uniform and Out of Work, and Seeking a Break in a Tough Civilian Job Market
"By Cara Buckley Ample of girth, his scalp gleaming beneath a thinning thatch of hair, Alex De Francis stood out in the small sea of veterans that filled a Midtown hotel ballroom on Thursday. They were all there for a veterans' job fair, and while many were young, Mr. De Francis was 61. He left the military in 1972, after a tour of duty in Vietnam, before many of his fellow job seekers w..."
A jobs fair for veterans
"New York-area veterans on the hunt for a new job can get a big leg up today as some 50 corporations, universities and other institutions gather in Midtown to bid for their talents. The RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expo, put on by a recruiting firm in cooperation with veterans' groups like the American Legion, runs from 11 am to 3 pm at the New Yorker Hotel on Eighth Avenue. Obviously, the ..."
Now hiring: vets
"By ANDY SOLTIS Here's where unemployed veterans should be on Thursday -- a jobs "opportunity expo." Vets will get a chance to sell themselves to major firms like Amtrak, New York Life, T-Mobile and Time Warner Cable, as well as government agencies. The expo runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the New Yorker Hotel, 481 Eighth Ave. Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/now_h..."
TN veterans face tough battle to find employment
"By Naomi Snyder Terry Pack was an aircraft mechanic serving in the Army in Iraq, spending two of the last six years in combat overseas. Now that he's done his service for the country, he can't even get a job doing oil changes at Sears. "It's tough,'' said the unemployed Clarksville veteran, who was honorably discharged in January. "I've been looking for any job." A congressional hea..."
Job fair helps get military veterans jobs in the civilian sector
"BY Samantha Strong AND Oren Yaniv Military veterans who traded rifles for resumes flocked to a job fair just for them Thursday - and said their service is more of a barrier than a blessing in the search for employment. "I'm not expecting people to kiss my feet or anything, but I am looking for a chance," said Anthony Ramos, 28, of Baldwin, L.I., who served four years in the Navy until his..."
Veterans and Jobs
"Matt Murphy, RecruitMilitary's Senior VP of Business Development and Sales is a guest on Washington Journal to talk about a recent report that shows the jobless rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is over eleven percent. He talks about connecting employers, educational institutions, and franchisors to veterans because of their character, skills and training, diversity, and securi..."

Valve & Intel Work On Open-Source GPU Drivers

Hm, they're working together with Intel and also already contacted Nouveau devs?
I wonder af they also got in contact with AMD or Radeon devs.
Well, it makes sense for them to support open source drivers.
Older hardware support. This is important when driver updates are only for those who have the latest graphic cards. This makes it harder to squash bugs, since it could be the drivers fault, and if the drivers aren't unified in version then it's a painful process to fix issues.
Originally posted by Figueiredo View PostI think he's talking abot being time fo AMD to up the ante in respect to their open source drivers effort in general.

Originally posted by d2kx View PostExactly. And this is why I don't want to hear any more people saying "stop with the useless posts, he just wants money, and no one cares about gaming anyway".
Gaming has been the driving force for hardware on the PC. Both Intel and AMD cater strongly to them. A lot of people that don't use Linux, do so because of the inability to play the latest games at max frames per second, with the exception of those who need to run specific applications.
Originally posted by entropy View PostOn the other hand, the title is a bit misleading here IMHO.
If they want to go get the intel GPUs into play - and Valve surely does - then they
have to deal with an open-source driver. There is no other driver.
Originally posted by GreatEmerald View PostI don't think you read the article attentively enough...
At the latest some post of this thread made clear Valve cares about all (relevant) F/OSS GPU drivers.
All these things Valve is doing is very exciting.
But it also kinda makes me kinda worried. Despite their enthusiasm, their work on Linux is still considered to be an investment. What if they don't get a lot of returns from this investment? There is no guarantee that people will be flocking to Linux after a few games get ported. What if despite all their work people still cling to windows and the revenue they get from Linux still ends up being too small?
I think if that were to happen, it would really kill game companies' support for Linux.
But I'm just being pessimistic here. Go Valve!
Originally posted by asdxAgreed. Let's only hope that the open source drivers (intel, nouveau, radeon) will get better and more robust and that Valve will help the developers with whatever is necessary to get there.
Any ideas about Mesa and the S3TC problem? Will that get some attention too?
I can't wait to see what Nvidia response will be after Valve approaches them.
Originally posted by asdxWhen are we going to have news from AMD/Nvidia on this subject?
Unless Michael has an established channel with some of the devs and can pick their brains?
Obviously any business that wants to survive has to be one step ahead of market changes and public sentiment. What's clear here is that Valve isn't just throwing a Linux port to appease the ankle-biters and keep them sedated for awhile; instead they seem pretty committed to something bigger.
Originally posted by orome View PostLearning new stuff every day...
Would the result be something other than obfuscated unusable/unmantainable mess?
But Nvidia already sent docs under NDA to a FOSS dev that implemented a ddx for X. The problem is that it was a long time ago It was for the first nvidia GPU! One of the few currently unsupported by Nouveau at all.
Valve helping Intel get their driver up to snuff makes perfect sense and is a great win for the Intel team. But I don't see how supporting AMD and Nouveau open drivers would be worth the duplicative effort unless they are building a open "Steambox". Then it would make sense only to target specific pieces of hardware (AMD or Intel hardware w/ doc's) to develop, mass produce, and market. Even if Valve got Nvidia to release documentation with a NDA for Nouveau, the devs would still say fuck you Nvidia...
Anyways I can't wait to truly unleash my 670GTX for more than Wine games (WoW 2.4.3 and Diablo 3) and a hand full of native games (Trine 2/Oilrush on max settings look and play wonderfully)

Another month, another shoe release.
In tonight's game at Golden State, Kevin Durant will debut the KD V N7′s (shown above/below), a version of his newest sneakers that pays homage to Native American communities across the country.
It's part of Nike's latest commitment to bring sports to the Native American and Aboriginal youth.
From Stack.com…
Inspired by modern Native American art, the N7 KD V features a turquoise upper and an all-over yellow fade print. Turquoise is symbolic of friendship in many Native communities, and yellow is one of four colors on a traditional Native American medicine wheel, representing movement. Durant's logo appears on the right side, while N7 adorns the left.
"Playing in Oklahoma City has connected me to the mission of Nike N7 and the meaningful impact that it has with Native Americans here and across North America," Durant said in a press release. "The new N7 KD V is very special. I believe in the power of sport to change lives and I support helping youth in Native American communities experience the positive benefits of being physically active."
They will go on sale this Saturday.
Here's some more photos of the shoe:

Free Fall details the story of a woman who becomes victim to a deranged
psychopath intent on destroying the airline industry. It may sound a
bit pessimistic, but the suspense and dialogue make it all work quite
It's a fast-paced tele-film that may have been done hundreds of times before, but the antics of the characters seem to heighten the tension involved and make the viewer actually want to stick with it and see what happens. Jaclyn Smith gives out a watchable and confident performance as Renee in a film that contains surprisingly taut action packed sequences in which fans of disaster movies and such should enjoy. 7/10
I think "Freefall" was a good TV movie, I am glad however that they did not take it to the big screen, it's a story best left for the small screen. I thought the story was good and Jaclyn Smith gave a convincing performance as a NTSB inspector. Bruce Boxleitner, on the other hand, was a tad over the top and seemed like this was a freshman effort for him. The psycho of the film was believable and was a well rounded character. I actually felt a little sorrow for him. The effects were a bit shoddy, but hey, it's tv and doesn't have this big blockbuster budget. I would enjoy seeing this again and would recommend this film to people.
I thought this was a great movie if I could buy it I would. I thought this was a great part for Scot Wentworht. I went for going cold turkey not getting to watch him in Kung fu anymore to this wonderful piece of storytelling. The fact that the actress who played Karen Simms (also from Kung Fu) was a great addition. I wish TV would play this movie more often. Not a lot of actors play a similar character that they've played for a few years on a TV show which I think is a shame. Most actors go from playing a good guy straight into a bad guy role. I'm glad that he played a good guy in this movie. I wish people would make more good guy movies like they did in the old days. No one makes movies like John wayne or Jimmy Stewart did. Someone needs to take the time to make a couple and I think Hollywood would get the idea that they would be more accepted then they think they would.
This movie begs for a showing in the Satellite of Love. If I had a few clever, motivated friends nearby, and we wanted to spend a raucous evening playing Mike and the Bots, this is the movie I would pick, hands down, bar none. Liquid cheese oozes from every line of dialog, every absurd plot development, and especially from the "If Ed Wood had had CGI instead of models" special effects. This is literally one of those movies that's so bad, it's actually entertaining.
Freefall is a typical disaster movie, but it was nice to watch. The special effects were somewhat "cheesy" but worked. The best performance came from Scott Wentworth as the hard-working agent. He is also reunited here with former co-star Kate Trotter, as well as Michael Sloan.
Jaclyn Smith plays Renee Brennan with confidence and accuracy. We get to see a day in the life of a NTSB crash investigator. The conflict between Boxleitner and Smith does depict some realism with respect to the FAA-NTSB relationship. Although this film never reaches any emotional depths, people who investigate these types of airline disasters often have to put their emotions on the backburner anyway. Much of the plot of this movie was predictable, but all in all, I enjoyed watching it. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise was the superb acting of the young Hayden Christensen (Patrick). If you like airline disaster movies, this one is worth seeing.
Freefall was an outstanding made for television action movie. Smith and Boxleitter were the credited big names in the movie but up and coming future star Richard Anselmo stole the show as the sheriff. His excellent performance should garner him a Cable Ace Award. Ms. Smith once again broadened her acting abilities by once again putting in an outstanding performance. In conclusion, Freefall was an action packed made for TV movie that would have done quite well on the big screen already!
What a brilliant performance by Jaclyn Smith Renee Brennan, It's such a
shame this movie was not promoted as it could have been a hit in my
opinion Jaclyn's charter of Renee Brennan is in my eyes her best ever
performance since "Charlie's Angles" . Jaclyn character is a very
strong minded woman who is still coming to terms with a family tragedy
of her own whilst trying to stop Hannes Jaenicke's character of Michael
Ives of his revenge on Trans Regional Airlines.
Jaclyn should have at least been a contender for an "Emmy" and an "Oscar" award for best actress as this shows people that Jaclyn has come a long long way from her beginnings in Television commercials to today, I recommend this movie to any one at all I have watched it myself countless number of times.
After watching this move the amount of times I have watched it I have even picked up a few small hick up's in the film itself and will share them with you
!: At 16 Minutes 51 Seconds through the movie we see the hotel where a press conference for flight 662 crash is being held just before we see Chad Everett Richard Pierce we see the outside of the hotel witch is no where near to the area in where flight 662 came down the hotel it self is actually the hotel situated at Lake Louise in Alberta Canada
2: At 28 Minutes 30 Seconds we see the cleaning of flight 795 passenger/mad man Hannes Jaenicke Michael Ives Is coming down from in side the ceiling of the air craft, If you look close enough at the rear right hand side of the panel that is being closed you see Hannes Jaenicke Michael Ives getting a helping hand in closing the panel
3: After the service for flight 795 we see Jaclyn Smith Renee Brennan, Bruce Boxleitner Mark Ettinger & Hayden Christensen Patrick Brennan getting into a car to leave then the camera pans on to Hannes Jaenicke Michael Ives sitting in a car witch a gadget with is later explained by Scott Wentworth Agent Scott Wallace as a 15 second delay unit to completely shut down the car's computerized systems for a 15 second period the start of the period is at 20 Minutes 21 Seconds and ends with the car crashing into a pumpkin display at 20 Minutes 53 Seconds, Well when I was at school in Mathamatics that time frame is a lot longer the 15 seconds
I´m a great fan of films where planes are in trouble. I used to be afraid of flying, but by seeing movies like this my knowledge of how planes work has increased and now I really enjoy flying myself. Does this sound strange? Maybe, but knowledge always helps! This film differs from all other films I´ve seen in this genre. A surviving husband of a killed jet airliner pilot (who got the blame for the crash)becomes obsessed and gets his revenge by making other planes crash in the same way as his wife´s plane. A female investigator becomes his main target and she soon realizes that a terrorist is threatening an airline company and all their planes. But the boss wants to fly on and earn more money. And soon another plane crashes. Good tempo, good crash scenes and quite thrilling all the time. I give it 8/10.
Disappointing terror-disaster flick, even for a TV movie. No real enthusiasm or effort from major or minor players--Smith is the NTSB investigator and Boxleitner her FAA inspector boyfriend but no sparks ever ignite.

Investors trusted credit ratings agencies too much, and the agencies themselves were too trusting of their clients, according to a white paper out this week from the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (Iosco).
Iosco said too many investors had "relied on credit ratings as their sole method of assessing risk", which meant that a sudden loss of confidence in the agencies left the investors adrift without any independent guidance; "this in turn caused the market for the securities to dislocate".
The agencies were also at fault, Iosco said, raising the concern that "in some cases some agencies relied on information that, on its face, appeared questionable..., uncertain or of dubious quality. Although agencies cannot be expected to uncover issuer fraud or conduct the level of confirmation expected of independent auditors, ratings based on information that fails to pass even a basic sniff test – or, more importantly, methodologies which fail to take into consideration market changes that may have an impact on the quality of the information upon which the ratings are based – fundamentally undermine investor confidence in the rating process".
Iosco called for agencies to publish historical records of rating changes, to allow investors to put current ratings in perspective. It also recommended agencies pay more attention to the quality of data they use, and that consulting businesses (which advise on the construction of structured products) should be kept isolated from the rating business. Furthermore, it suggested, downgrades could be handled by a different team from that responsible for initial ratings.

"Conn's well-written essays centralize objects as the defining feature of museums as they shifted (albeit incompletely) from being places of public instruction to being places of private consumption, from taxonomic exhibits to narrative ones, influenced by the development of the academic disciplines of science, anthropology, and art history. . . . An interesting and significant contribution to the literatures of museum studies and public history."—American Historical Review
"Steven Conn provides an eclectic, provocative, and extremely readable tour of the history of museums in the twentieth-century United States. . . . The easy erudition and wit of Do Museums Still Need Objects? Will appeal to lay readers and museum practitioners, and its hardheaded historical approach and bold opinions will raise debate among scholars in the field of museum studies and cultural history."—Journal of American History
"Steven Conn offers a refreshing look at museums and many of the debates surrounding their development and practices over the past forty years. He is right to frame his inquiry by asking if museums still need objects. Too often these debates have ignored the very characteristic that defines museums and distinguishes them from all other cultural institutions: they collect, preserve, and present things. This is an important, timely book."—James Cuno, President and Director, Art Institute of Chicago
"In this provocative and engaging book, Steven Conn considers the continuing role museums play in contemporary American society. Despite recent shifts in their priorities, Conn argues that museums and their collections possess tremendous potential as sites of learning and places where civic identity is shaped and sustained. Do Museums Still Need Objects? is a must-read for anyone thinking about the social and cultural significance of museums at the beginning of the twenty-first century."—Raymond Silverman, University of Michigan

Now this is what a superhero movie should be. "Spider-Man 2" believes in its story in the same way serious comic readers believe, when the adventures on the page express their own dreams and wishes. It's not camp and it's not nostalgia, it's not wall-to-wall special effects and it's not pickled in angst. It's simply and poignantly a realization that being Spider-Man is a burden that Peter Parker is not entirely willing to bear.
The movie demonstrates what's wrong with a lot of other superhero epics: They focus on the superpowers, and short-change the humans behind them. (Has anyone ever been more boring, for instance, than Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne?)
"Spider-Man 2" is the best superhero movie since the modern genre was launched with "Superman" (1978). It succeeds by being true to the insight that allowed Marvel Comics to upturn decades of comic-book tradition: Readers could identify more completely with heroes like themselves than with remote godlike paragons. Peter Parker was an insecure high school student, in grade trouble, inarticulate in love, unready to assume the responsibilities that came with his unexpected superpowers. It wasn't that Spider-Man could swing from skyscrapers that won over his readers; it was that he fretted about personal problems in the thought balloons above his Spidey face mask.
Parker (Tobey Maguire) is in college now, studying physics at Columbia, more helplessly in love than ever with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). He's on the edge of a breakdown: He's lost his job as a pizza deliveryman, Aunt May faces foreclosure on her mortgage, he's missing classes, the colors run together when he washes his Spider-Man suit at the Laundromat, and after his web-spinning ability inexplicably seems to fade, he throws away his beloved uniform in despair. When a bum tries to sell the discarded Spidey suit to Jonah Jameson, editor of the Daily Bugle, Jameson offers him $50. The bum says he could do better on eBay. Has it come to this?
I was disappointed by the original "Spider-Man" (2002), and surprised to find this film working from the first frame. Sam Raimi, the director of both pictures, this time seems to know exactly what he should do, and never steps wrong in a film that effortlessly combines special effects and a human story, keeping its parallel plots alive and moving. One of the keys to the movie's success must be the contribution of novelist Michael Chabon to the screenplay; Chabon understands in his bones what comic books are, and why. His inspired 2000 novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay chronicles the birth of a 1940s comic book superhero and the young men who created him; he worked on the screen story that fed into Alvin Sargent's screenplay.
The seasons in a superhero's life are charted by the villains he faces (it is the same with James Bond). "Spider-Man 2" gives Spider-Man an enemy with a good nature that is overcome by evil. Peter Parker admires the famous Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), whose laboratory on the banks of the East River houses an experiment that will either prove that fusion can work as a cheap source of energy, or vaporize Manhattan. To handle the dangerous materials of his experiments, Octavius devises four powerful tentacles that are fused to his spine and have a cyber-intelligence of their own; a chip at the top of his spine prevents them from overriding his orders, but when the chip is destroyed, the gentle scientist is transformed into Doc Ock, a fearsome fusion of man and machine, who can climb skyscraper walls by driving his tentacles through concrete and bricks. We hear him coming, hammering his way toward us like the drums of hell.
Peter Parker, meanwhile, has vowed that he cannot allow himself to love Mary Jane, because her life would be in danger from Spider-Man's enemies. She has finally given up on Peter, who is always standing her up; she announces her engagement to no less than an astronaut. Peter has heart-to-hearts with her and with Aunt May (Rosemary Harris), who is given full screen time and not reduced to an obligatory cameo. And he has to deal with his friend Harry Osborn (James Franco), who likes Peter but hates Spider-Man, blaming him for the death of his father (a k a the Green Goblin, although much is unknown to the son).
There are special effects, and then there are special effects. In the first movie I thought Spider-Man seemed to move with all the realism of a character in a cartoon. This time, as he swings from one skyscraper to another, he has more weight and dimension, and Raimi is able to seamlessly match the CGI and the human actors. The special-effects triumph in the film is the work on Doc Ock's four robotic tentacles, which move with an uncanny life, reacting and responding, doing double takes, becoming characters on their own.
Watching Raimi and his writers cut between the story threads, I savored classical workmanship: The film gives full weight to all of its elements, keeps them alive, is constructed with such skill that we care all the way through. In a lesser movie from this genre, we usually perk up for the action scenes but wade grimly through the dialogue. Here both stay alive, and the dialogue is more about emotion, love and values, less about long-winded explanations of the inexplicable (it's kind of neat that Spider-Man never does find out why his web-throwing ability sometimes fails him).
Tobey Maguire almost didn't sign for the sequel, complaining of back pain; Jake Gyllenhaal, another gifted actor, was reportedly in the wings. But if Maguire hadn't returned (along with Spidey's throwaway line about his aching back), we would never have known how good he could be in this role.
Dunst is valuable, too, bringing depth and heart to a girlfriend role that in lesser movies would be conventional. When she kisses her astronaut boyfriend upside-down, it's one of those perfect moments that rewards fans of the whole saga; we don't need to be told she's remembering her only kiss from Spider-Man.
There are moviegoers who make a point of missing superhero movies, and I can't blame them, although I confess to a weakness for the genre. I liked both of the "Crow" movies, and "Daredevil," "Hulk" and "X2: X-Men United," but not enough to recommend them to friends who don't like or understand comic books. "Spider-Man 2" is in another category: It's a real movie, full-blooded and smart, with qualities even for those who have no idea who Stan Lee is. It's a superhero movie for people who don't go to superhero movies, and for those who do, it's the one they've been yearning for.
