20 things to know about your kids sleep
For parents with kids, sleep can be elusive. These tips will help your family rest easier. more
Save yourself the heartache of worrying over your toddler's eating habits by developing an understanding of your toddler's nutritional needs:
Your child is born instinctively knowing how much food she needs and she won't usually overeat. However she can easily lose this skill. If she's always pushed to eat more than she wants or is encouraged to finish everything on the plate, she may learn to ignore her body's messages when she's had enough to eat. This can lead to weight problems later.
Learning to feed herself will be a messy business for your toddler. Let her have fun with her food because the more practice she gets doing it for herself, the faster she'll master the skills.

Is Mitt Romney ad on Jeep jobs misleading?(Read article summary)
A new Romney campaign ad, running in the battleground state of Ohio, implies that Chrysler is moving US jobs building Jeeps to China, and that Obama is at fault for having 'sold Chrysler to the Italians.'
Charles Dharapak/AP
Is Jeep moving US manufacturing jobs to China? That's the implication in a new ad from Mitt Romney's presidential campaign that's running in the key battleground state of Ohio.
Auto manufacturing is a big part of the Buckeye State economy, and Mr. Romney's chances there may have been damaged by President Obama's assertion that Romney opposed the federal bailout of the auto industry. The new Jeep spot is likely Romney's attempt to reclaim some votes on this issue.
First, let's look at the ad itself. Titled "Who Will Do More?," the 30-second spot opens with the general charge that Barack Obama won't do as much as Romney will to help car firms in the future. It says Romney has a plan for this, though it doesn't go into specifics, and then notes that the former Massachusetts governor is backed by ex-Chrysler chief Lee Iacocca and the editorial page of The Detroit News.
Then it reaches the crux of the matter. "Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China. Mitt Romney will fight for every American job."
Here's the clever aspect of this: Taken apart, each clause in those two sentences is true, or at least defensible. But put together, they're implying that Mr. Obama's actions have led to Jeep jobs jumping to Beijing. That's not true. It's an assertion that the fact-checking website Politifact says "throws reality into reverse."
We'll run through the paragraph piece by piece. Yes, Obama did take GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy in early 2009, as Romney had earlier suggested in an opinion piece in The New York Times. But the Obama administration arranged for government debtor-in-place financing to take the firms through bankruptcy court, while Romney envisioned the private marketplace providing that money. Given the extent the world's financial woes at the time, Romney's expectation might have been unrealistic.
Yes, Italians did buy Chrysler. Cerberus Capital, Chrysler's previous owner, had been talking to Fiat about a deal; the Obama administration's auto task force quickly told the parties they had to reach a merger agreement or Chrysler would lose the government loans keeping it afloat. After Chrysler's bankruptcy, Fiat emerged with a 20 percent stake in the firm and operational control.
It's also possible that the Italians who own Chrysler are going to build Jeeps – perhaps Chrysler's most valuable auto brand – in China. In an e-mail to employees Tuesday, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne repeated a previous announcement that the firm is thinking of restarting a Jeep assembly line in China closed in 2009 to supply the local market.
In the e-mail, Mr. Marchionne adds that the Chinese market would be inaccessible otherwise. Beijing keeps tight control of the nation's car marketplace; tariffs and other regulations render it off limits to foreign-made mass market models.
"I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position. Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China. North American production is critical to achieving our goal of selling 800,000 Jeep vehicles by 2014. In fact, US production of our Jeep models has nearly tripled ... since 2009 in order to keep up with global demand," wrote Marchionne in the e-mail, posted online by the Detroit Free Press.
Last Thursday during a campaign stop in Defiance, Ohio, Romney said he'd seen a story indicating that "Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China."
As Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler notes, "This was completely wrong." A Bloomberg story had reported accurately on Jeep's China intentions. Some conservative blogs then misinterpreted the story to mean that the departure of Jeep jobs was imminent. Romney may have received his false information from them.
The Romney ad drops the part about "moving all production to China." But it's implying the same thing – otherwise, why mention "Jeep" and "China" in the same sentence at all?
"The series of statements in the ad individually may be technically correct, but the overall message of the ad is clearly misleading – especially since it appears to have been designed to piggyback off of Romney's gross misstatement that Chrysler was moving Ohio factory jobs to China," concludes Mr. Kessler.

This sounds like the distict is laying the foundation to argue for another tax hike. I say no way! First clean up house, particularly that issue from last year regarding retirement fraud from the outgoing superintendant. Second, pay the teachers more and big wigs less. How about a FOIA request like they did in Palo Alto several years ago, Don? Let's really see where all the money is really going. The governor's budget isn't even out yet... let's focus on our own mess before we take on the state's. Throwing more good money after bad is just a bad idea. Let's get people riled up so the board will reflect more the democratic process with contested seats rather than getting come-as-you-are board members.

text: The comics industry has made some serious changes over the years, to the point that the entire key demographic has been drastically changed. Comics were originally targeted at young children. Sold for a few pennies with a quick set-up, action sequence and some quippy puns. Now-a-days, comics are deeper, darker and more about story-telling. This sounds like a good thing, but more than one person will tell you that the comics industry has lost some of its allure. I myself am fairly new to comics and would love to get some different opinions. Where do you think comics are going and if you had the reins, where would you take them?

All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1940 item #1021578 (stock #001141e)
This distinctly elegant brooch was made by one of the Mexican silver masters, Serafin Moctezuma. He was known as a very skilled artist as seen in the impeccable execution of this brooch. This exquisite piece is a lyrical shape of leaves and a bezel-set amethyst stone. It very 3-dimensional because the leaves and stems undulate and swirl on several planes. The leaves are incised at the bottom of the brooch and pierced or cut out on the top leaf, lending interest and contrast to the design. The absence of the Eagle Assay mark dates this piece is circa 1930's-1940's. It measures 2-3/4" on the longest dimension and is 1-1/2" at the widest point. It weighs 13.7 grams. It is marked, "Hecho en Mexico, 925" in a circle with "SM" in the center and "Taxco" outside the circle. This is the mark of Serafin Moctezuma, a contemporary of William Spratling. The silversmiths of this era in Taxco were known for their unequalled design and craftsmanship. Their worked became sought-after all over the world and brought fame to the tiny village of Taxco. Most of these masters are no longer living, so their work is even more collectible. The roll clasp is secure and works well. It is very striking and is obviously quite old, but is in excellent vintage condition with no visible damage at all. This is a highly collectible piece.

The cross is seen in many varieties and versions in the Americas, but the Yalalag Cross is one of the most ornate and legendary. The Yalalag Cross comes from San Juan Yalalag, Sierra de Juarez, Oaxaca, Mexico and its basic design predates the Conquest. It consists of a central cross with three lesser crosses hanging from the main cross. The decorative elements in the design can be geometric, which is usually Indian – or with wings, hearts, and flowers, which is more Christian symbology. A cross with two arms in the upper half is called a Patriarchal Cross. This Yalalag silver cross has an amethyst cabochon bezel-set in the center and surrounded by curled wire and highly decorative flowerettes. This motif continues throughout the large cross and to the lesser crosses and even the ornate bail. The three lesser crosses are missing their tiny hanging pieces at the bottom, but it is still a fabulous piece of jewelry history and art. It was hand wrought entirely by a Mexican silver artisan. It measures 3-3/4" tall x 2-1/4" wide at the widest point, and weighs 16.1 grams. It is marked, "Mexico", and predates the Eagle Assay mark making it circa 193o's'40's. Although it doesn't say, it is sterling. This is a rare and beautiful cross to add to your collection..
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Retro : Pre 1980 item #1137934 (stock #1000110e)
Most Jerusalem Crosses have purple or pinkish stones, but a very nice blue stone is a "find". This cross has the representative central cross with four surrounding smaller crosses. It is said that the Jerusalem cross represents Christ and the four Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and the spread of Christianity from its origins in the Holy Land to the four corners of the earth. On the back are religious pictures and markings, "Jerusalem" and "900 silver". The cross measures 1-7/8" X 1-7/8" and is quite beautiful.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1960 item #1098867 (stock #0011145e)
Here is an extraordinary bracelet that is wide and shiny and commands attention. The outside has shapes like leaves cut out from the copper outside layer. Next is wire, and then the solid copper back. This bracelet is a fine piece of vintage jewelry. It is in very good vintage condition. It measures 6-1/2" circumference with a 1" opening and 2" wide.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1970 item #1076962 (stock #00112000e)
This bracelet is important because the enamel colors are phosphorescent and glow with an unusual depth. It looks like a Renoir/Matisse, but is not marked. It features 5 links with greenish yellow, pink, and aqua blue on a black background. The jump rings are brass and connect each link in two places. The back is also enameled, which gives it a very finished look. The copper links are very good vintage condition and the clasp is strong. There are a few tiny nibbles on the edge, but nothing really noticeable when worn. It measures about 8-1/2" around and each link is 1-1/2" X 1-1/2". This is a bracelet that will receive lots of compliments and sure to please!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Designer Signed : Pre 1980 item #1132224 (stock #00011195e)
This is a magnificent large brooch that is a real statement piece because of the pristine quality of the stone, the enormous size, and the simple understated design. This piece was done by Eunice Ruddy who signed her work with an "E" inside a mushroom shape. This piece is so-marked along with the stamp of "Sterling" on the back. She called her works, "Euniques" and trademarked them in 1977, but only lived until 1984, so I'm not sure how much of her work is out there. This brooch is incredibly well-crafted and an absolutely superb work by way of its" less-is-more" design and the most beautiful piece of malachite I have ever seen. It is a very large cabochon, bezel-set inside a flat rim that is an extension of the back. It measures 1-1/2" diameter X ½" high. The stone itself shows ¼" above the bezel. It weighs a substantial 34.8 grams. It is in perfect vintage condition with no damage on the silver or the stone and the roll clasp works perfectly. This piece dates sometime prior to 1980 and is a fabulous work of art.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1950 item #1132203 (stock #00011191e)
This vintage Mexican silver cross is an intricate scrollwork design with a tiny silver ball in the center. It is very well-crafted, and probably dates to the late 1940's to early '50's. It is marked, "Sterling" and the Eagle 3. It looks like each of the cross arms was cast and then soldered together along with the clasp. One of the cross arms measures 2-1/2" and the other is 2" across, and weighs 12.4 grams. The clasp is in good working order and tapers to a very fine point. It is a stunning piece and is in good vintage condition.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Latin American : Pre 1940 item #1106350 (stock #00011156e)
Here is one of the most unique bracelets I have ever seen. It was made by an artisan that was stamped by the government to show that it was part of the " Industria Argentina" (Argentine Industry). It is also stamped "925" and is probably from the early 1930's. It is a floral, ornate cutwork pattern with 4 solid silver ovals adorning the circle at equidistant intervals. The clasp mechanism is one I have never seen, which is shown in one photo. The bracelet itself has a spring character about it so that you simply squeeze it for the two locking "teeth" to fit into the appropriate spot between the cutout silver. It measures 1" wide X 8-1/2" open. Argentina has a vast heritage of mining precious metals and producing beautiful silver jewelry and vessels since before the conquistadors. Silversmiths arriving with the flood of artists and craftsmen from Portugal, Spain and Italy into Buenos Aires when it became the capital of a new Spanish viceroyalty in 1776 began a tradition that has been handed down from father to son and is very much alive today.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1950 item #1091930 (stock #001110030e)
This is one of the most feminine pieces I've seen like this. The colors are pink with soft green and white abstract on each of 6 links. It is very much like the Matisse enamel bracelets I've seen and in excellent vintage condition. It is circa 1950's. It is 8" long and the links are 1/2" wide. It has been well cared for as I don't note any chips or cracks or any damage whatsoever. Perfect for summer!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Ethnic : Pre 1960 item #973349 (stock #08700L)
This strand is a beautifully aged and is a exemplary example of African pipestone beads. They also have several types of old silver hollow beads that intersect at several places to make this necklace exquisite. It is at least 1960 or before. The center silver bead is about 5/8" in diameter and all the others are varied in size. The strand is 24" long with a hook and eye clasp, and has stretched a little from age, but can be tightened at the clasp. This is a treasure for someone who appreciates old ethnic artwork.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Pre 1950 item #1053460 (stock #011831e)
This beautiful bypass ring is beautifully crafted and reminds me of the work of Los Castillo or Margot de Taxco, who worked for Los Castillo. Some of the silverwork that came from the Los Castillo studio bore the distinct style of Margot. This piece reminds me of one of those. It appears to be circa 1940's. It is 1-3/4" long on the top and the width of the design is about 3/4". It measures about a size 6, but can be enlarged to a size 7. The old maestros of Mexico left a legacy of fine silver artistry and craftsmanship behind as this ring, but unfortunately, much of the history of these old pieces is not captured because during this time. Much of the silver works were sold by weight, with little credit given to the artist and his or her accomplished craft. However, this one is marked by the artist "rs 925" in the center of a circle marked, "sterling, taxco mexico". This artist is noted in Billie Hougart's book, "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks", (2006 edition). It is a beautiful design and is very well-crafted. There is no damage and it is in excellent vintage condition.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1980 item #1117517 (stock #00011163e)
Beautiful and exquisite is this unusual teardrop shaped pendant with a large slab of what looks like maybe amber tourmaline, and amethyst, two small CZ's(I'm guessing)and garnet. It is crafted with flourishes of silver that are damped from behind to give them a spherical shape. The pendant is really unusual and looks like it was made in Mexico, but there are no markings. It is sterling and measures 2-1/2" from top to bottom and 1" wide at the widest point. The garnet at the top articulates while the rest is stationary. It is quite lovely and it is circa 1970's. The chain is sold separately and is 22" long and is $40.00.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1980 item #1018354 (stock #001136e)
This vintage Mexican silver ring has a beautiful fan-shaped or fluted pattern. It is simple, yet elegant and looks beautiful on. The hallmarks are, "CF", which is a silversmith mentioned in Bille Hougart's book, The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks. It is approximately a size 5-1/2-6. Although it looks very heavy, it weighs 12.2 grams and is very comfortable on. Dome-type rings are difficult to size eactly, and typically have a slight range of size because of the hollow area under the dome. This piece was cast in the lost wax method as seen by the ridges and texture of the inside of the dome. I would date it to the '60's for its style and wear. It has the typical wear of a vintage piece. It is in excellent condition and only has small scratches. It would be something you will want to wear often!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1980 item #971940 (stock #08500L)
This handsome pendant and ornate hand-hammered chain are made of sparkling yellow brass. The chain is from my own collection, which I have had for 40 years. The pendant was cast and hand finished while the chain was formed by bending brass wire by hand and then flattening each link with a hammer. The chain is a lovely, lyrical design, and I believe from the middle east. The pendant is substantial and has a scalloped edge with an edge decorated by lines and tiny circles. The center has a convex spiral with a ground of floral embellishments with a dark patina overall. The pendant is 2-3/4" at its widest point and 2-1/4" tall, and the chain is 26" long. This is an distinctive and exotic pendant and chain that is fabulous find!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1940 item #1132206 (stock #00011193e)
This vintage hand made brooch is a silver filigree design with a "foil" or "faux opal" bezel-set in the center. Foil opals are really multicolored foil embedded in glass that sparkles with different colors as do real opals. JoyMex items are becoming very hard to find and this one is a primo example of their work. The filagree is made by carefully bending fine silver wire and soldering to the back base piece. It also has tiny silver balls all around the edge at specific intervals in the scrolls. It is solid sterling silver and was produced circa 1930's in Mexico by JOYMEX. JOYMEX was a noted silversmith during that time and is listed on page 85 of Billie Hougart's book, The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks. It is marked, "JOYMEX Mexico", and has a partial symbol of their crown that is part of their hallmark. The brooch measures 1-5/8" wide and 1-1/4" tall. It is in excellent vintage condition. The clasp is intact and works perfectly. This is a very feminine and collectible piece.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1950 item #1023945 (stock #001150e)
This unusual and elegant brooch was made by one of the Mexican silver masters who worked for Estela Popowski and signed his pieces, "AE" inside a heart-shaped "M". Popowski's taller was in Mexico City, beginning about the early-mid 1950's. This design has also been done by Ana Nunez Brilianti, "Victoria". The design of this piece is a beautiful flower and leaves, with the leaves folded over part of the flower – a very striking design. The center has 6 small silver balls denoting the stamen of the flower. It addition to the, maker's mark, it marked "Sterling Mexico". The brooch measures 1-9/16" long x 1-3/8" wide, and weighs 10.8 grams. The artist who crafted this was very skilled because the piece is impeccably executed. It was cut from silver sheet and incised with detail of the flower. The center balls and the clasp were soldered in place. It is in excellent vintage condition with no visible damage, and the clasp works perfectly. This is a highly collectible piece.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1960 item #1109686 (stock #011162e)
Straight from the '50's comes this intricately designed copper bracelet. It has 5 links, each with an "S" coil and silver teardrop shapes atop each one. The links are connected by textured wide, ribbed links and the closure is a typical box type that still works well. The bracelet is solid copper and sterling with copper plate on the closure. It is in good vintage shape for its age - no dings, but some scratches from wear as you would expect from a piece like this that someone wore often. It measures about 7" long with clasp closed and each curved link is 1-1/4" X 1-1/4". It is quite shiny and is very attention-grabbing!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1980 item #1070239 (stock #0011690e)
This is an extraordinarily beautiful cuff bracelet, crafted with impeccable artisan workmanship. The base is solid brass, with copper wire channel-set in perfect symmetry. It is marked with an "L", which is a mark I am unfamiliar with. This bracelet is one that is a real treasure in design and craftsmanship. It measures 1-1/2" wide X 2" across the widest span.

Damien Wilkins RumorsAll NBA Players
Damien Wilkins
Position: None
Born: 01/11/80
Height: 6-6 / 1.98
Weight:225 lbs. / 102.1 kg.
Born: 01/11/80
Height: 6-6 / 1.98
Weight:225 lbs. / 102.1 kg.
On Sunday, Wilkins assumed his familiar role as D-League elder statesman and was unwilling to cede the stage. He cluttered the box score by launching 15 shots in 21 minutes and scored 13 points in the Futures' 129-94 victory over the Prospects. "When they approached me about this, there was no doubt I was coming," Wilkins said. "It's a testament to what I've been doing in the D-League this season. I wanted to come here to represent myself, my family, my team — and try to put on a good show."
Free agent shooting guard Damien Wilkins has reached agreement on a contract with Beijing of the Chinese Basketball Association, a source told RealGM. Wilkins had been searching to latch onto an NBA team, but he decided to secure a deal with the Beijing Ducks, where he will play a shortened season and continue training. Wilkins went to training camp with the Atlanta Hawks in October.
The Hawks waived Damien Wilkins, David Lighty and Andonis Thomas Monday to trim the roster to 17 players. All three were non-roster training camp invitees.
Add Damien Wilkins to the list of former Hawks who will be in training camp. Wilkins, who played 52 games for the team during the 2010-11 season, will be a non-roster invite when camp begins Oct. 1. Wilkins joins former Hawks player Royal Ivey, who agreed to an invitation Wednesday, in camp. Like Ivey, Wilkins played last season with the 76ers. The 6-foot-6 guard/small forward averaged 6.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 18.0 minutes in 61 games, including 21 starts. The invitations to Wilkins and Ivey could be out of concern that Lou Williams may not be ready by the start of the season as he rehabs from a torn ACL.
Philadelphia 76ers free agent Damien Wilkins has reached agreement on a straight training camp deal to return to the Atlanta Hawks, a league source told RealGM. Wilkins had been working out in Atlanta for the Hawks, a team that has been in search for players to complete its wing depth.
Free agent Damien Wilkins has been working out for his former team – the Hawks – in Atlanta and worked out for the San Antonio Spurs last week, sources told RealGM. Wilkins has exhibited impressive moments in the workouts, and the Hawks have shown interest in free agents who can complete their depth at the wing. No deal is imminent for Wilkins, a source said.
Damien Wilkins: Much respect to one of the best to ever do it! @Tracy McGrady well wishes to u big dawg, always a pleasure to watch you play the game!!
Damien Wilkins: Sad sad day. Crazy ass world we live in man…tell ya ppl you love em. G'night twitter fam #bostonmarathon
Lang Greene: Just spoke with 76ers forward Damien Wilkins. Says he has no plans to retire, feels 26. Said his plan is to play until he's 40
The Sixers will begin trainiing camp with high hopes and four new players. The team announced today that it had signed the four free agents to bring to training camp. Signed were Dan Gadzuric, Devin Searcy, Xavier Silas and Damien Wilkins.
Damien Wilkins: My man Ray Allen headed to the Heat! You guys are getting a first class person and player. Been my mentor and friend since day 1!! Congrats
Detroit's Damien Wilkins says Pistons have "indicated'' they'd like him to return next season and he wants that. "They indicated they want me back but we'll see what happens,'' said Wilkins, a free agent this summer. The guard says he wants to remain with the Pistons "as long as they want me here.''
Dave Pemberton: #Pistons waive Jake Voskuhl, Brian Hamilton and Walker Russell Jr. No surprise, but looks like Damien Wilkins likely made the roster.
Jorge Sierra: Free agent swingman Damien Wilkins tells HoopsHype six teams have expressed interest in him. Wilkins added: "The situation in Atlanta doesn't seem likely and that's disappointing, but it's the business and I'll accept it. I'm as prepared mentally and physically as I've ever been so I remain confident that I'll do great when the opportunity presents itself."
Damien Wilkins, a free agent who played collegiately at Georgia and for the Hawks last season, is a regular, as is Al Thornton, a free agent who finished last season with the Warriors. Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie, former Georgia teammates who were drafted by the Clippers in June, get their first NBA- level competition here.
Wilkins joined the Hawks midway through the 2010-11 season and was pretty efficient in limited playing time there, averaging 3.5 ppg on 50.4 percent shooting. Despite his nice season with Atlanta, the 6-foot-6 Wilkins has not heard from European clubs. "If that was the case I probably would've been gone already – especially since they allow you to return."
Damien Wilkins hopes it doesn't come down to it, but he's ready to go overseas if the lockout continues. The free agent swingman told HoopsHype he has already received interest from the Chinese League. "My agent brought an offer from China, but obviously you know they want you to stay," Wilkins said. "I don't know if that offer still stands or is still on the table because we haven't spoken about it anymore, but it's something I'll take a closer look at now."

A federal jury on Tuesday convicted former Ironworkers boss Joe Dougherty of using his Northeast Philadelphia-based local to intimidate contractors into using union labor and violently retaliating against them if they didn't.
Two more members of the Northeast-based Ironworkers Local 401 today pleaded guilty to their roles in incidents that caused destruction at construction sites. So far, eight men have pleaded guilty to charges stemming from federal investigations of schemes to intimidate employers who didn't hire union workers.

Shop around for loans for bad credit a good idea, there is no harm if you compare it with the rate of 3-4 potential lenders. Once you have decided which lender and the product just be sure that you have full knowledge of the same, before signing documents bad credit loans that you read very carefully and cautiously, while the application with the lenders, the rush during the application, because for the high investments.
Another positive feature in the closing of the loan is that your bad credit record is not the concern of lenders will give you the money the same day. You can borrow the money at more risky tags like late payments, defaults, CCJs and arrears, no credit checks from the lenders.
