Constitutional Law
Great lawyers, excellent capablities, long-standing reputation, etc. are essential to a successful 'boutique,' but so too are huge overhead costs.
The move to 7 WTC and the departure of some key partners last year made this inevitable. Sad, but the economics just don't work. I feel for the partners who are on the hook for the 7 WTC offices. Fabulous florrspace and views. Good luck subleasing them in the NYC financial depression at anything near the rate Darby is locked in at. Many Darby partners are going to take a huge financial bath over this.
D&D did patents for me back when I was an engineer, and now I'm in law school to become a patent attorney myself. This news is both sad and scary.
It seems to me that patent attorneys -- even litigators -- have the luxury of dispensing with the big shot pretension pervasive in BigLaw. There are so many better ways to invest that money. Why put up the facade?
I'll bet the next IP boutique to close after Darby will be Townsend. They raised associate billing rates, first froze their salaries and then lowered them (substantially for 6,7, an 8 year associates), and have had an ongoing exodus of partners. Last month their top litigator died unexpectedly. The IP boutique category continues to get decimated or merged into general megafirms.
So after reading all those articles in the last couple months about how clients were ditching big law for boutique firms (with lower billing rates), now we can read stories about boutiques falling apart because their partners are leaving for big firms?
Paul, Hastings has been teetering for months. We've had several expressions of interest from PH partners since November as they look for a place to land or get off the boat before it goes under. I think they've been using some very aggressive accounting and financing to keep that firm afloat for this long. I have a strong feeling that in the not to distant future one morning we will be reading about PH closing and associates and staff on the street without severance or COBRA. At least Darby claims to be attempting an orderly wind up. We'll see if that actually comes to pass next week and thereafter. No wonder they made five new partners in January - the more partners to split the bankruptcy liability with. To all Paul, Hastings associates and staff: I'd recommend you start saving your money and looking for other options now. When PH finally goes it'll be a one-day deal for most of you with a box for your personal stuff and an escorted walk-out, IMO.
The cardboard storage box business must be booming at Staple's downtown Manhattan stores.
Yes it's true apparently based on those from Darby who were fired. Darby fired almost all non-accountng staff and many associates yesterday and there is no severance and no COBRA benefits, as the firm was technically dissolved. The bank is largely responsible for this, but to leave staff, paralegals, and associates go with no notice and no severance or health coverage option is really a bad deal. One of the paralegals is disabled and has been at Darby for 25+ years and has very little chance of re-employment. Now with no severance and health coverage, that person is in serious trouble after 25+ years of loyal service.
There were a few decent partners - Peter, Mel, Sam, Mitch to name a few. Yes, Mel was the only one to face the crowd (backed by Adda but word on the street is her escape plans had already been made) and kudos to him. Numerous pregnant employees, a few disabled people, employees with ill children, all walked out that door with no insurance and a slim possibility of being able to qualify for or afford a private policy. No COBRA options; vacation time lost, etc. etc. Not only was there a ton of work but up until the last minute new patent applications were being filed, new files opened and conflicts being run. The clients had no clue what was going to happen. Projections are that numerous law suits wil follow, along with a violation of the WARN Act and a class action suit by the employees. Should be interesting. With the exception of a powerful few, the place was extremely professional and staffed by an incredible mix of top people
I find it amazing that with the exception of the axed employees, there doesn't seem to be much buzz about the fact that all these people (and there are more than 200 because there are other offices) that D&D termination without the benefit of COBRA (and most of us can't get insurance because of pre-existing conditions - some which are minor but insurance companies don't care) the loss of accrued vacation time, no severance, etc. Personally, I think that if major outrage is not directed to the NYC DA's office, then this complete disregard for the law will become the norm and NO ONE will be protected.
The "orderly dissolution" that was stated in the press releases is a real joke. The firm was legally dissolved on Thursday evening. By dissolving the entity they no longer were technically responsible for COBRA and other benefits. They took their m money and ran. We were told our last paycheck (3/12/2010) may not clear as all the accounts were frozen. It was only late on Thursday we found out that the bank had unfrozen the payroll account. With the exception of a handful of people, some in accounting (to collect money) and records (to physically prepare files for transfer) and a few department managers (to oversee the transfer) everyone was terminated with nothing.
"Legally Dissolved" there is nothing legal that took place on Thursday 3/11, partners knew what would happen to the staff if they left the company and they didn't care or give us any notice. Nothing legal about leaving 200 + employees out of work with one day notice saying sorry "us partners just couldn't make a sacrifice of 2 years to keep the company going" Dear adds Cigars, you are a selfish,arrogant, cocky,nasty,person. How can you sleep at night knowing what you have done? Pregnant women, a disabled man (who will most likely never be hired again) families with mortgages, kids to feed etc..
Lets also thank Citibank who they themselves were bailed out so they wouldn't put small business out and here they are closing the doors on Darby, who may I add paid their loan off timely every month!!!!!!!!!!! SCREW YOU CITIBANK!!

By the posts it seems as if employees are of the opinion they were "owed" something. Typical Gen-Y unrealistic expectations. No one owes you anything. Please stop the whining. Life is tough. Get over it. No one owes you COBRA payments, "accrued" vacation time or anything else for that matter.
Best outcome for the firm. Interviewed with them two years ago; the partner was arrogant and a moron with zero people skills--a total wasted my time.
Hey "Anon" ur an Ass! U must not care because like the people who brought the firm down u too must come from money, so u don't know what it is to try to put food on the table, get ur kids vaccinated, pay ur mortgage. Its easy for someone like u to say to "get over it" well maybe one day u will be twlling yourself that cause nothing last forever and you may be on top right now but one day u could be in our shoes. Its not a matter of whining, its a matter of doing what is right. Now why don't u go pick ur nose now while nobody is looking, idiot!
Gen-Y-ers? Not if they've been there 25 years. Apparently you didn't learn math in school.
Employees weren't owed anything? Geez, seems to me they had contracts that said they'd get vacation time or the same in $$. I'd call that being owed. And, like most employees, they relied on their employer to provide health benefits, and knew about a thing called COBRA, but not being lawyers, they likely didn't know that there's a legal loophole that if the firm dissolved, they wouldn't be entitled to COBRA benefits.
But I'm glad that Citibank got all those tax dollars so they could f--k Darby, and that the remaining partners could then f--k its employees.
Anon, I hope you crash your car into a bridge piling and are left paralyzed, your house burns down, and your wife takes everything a divorce settlement.
Thank God the last two posters addressed Anon. I am in my 50's and have been at D&D for years. I am no Generation Y-ers. I put myself through college, and have worked for every thing I have. What most people seem to be missing is that their strategy of dissolving the firm, thereby relieving them of their obligations under COBRA, etc., was done to pad certain partner's pockets. There is a morel, ethical, and legal issue here. No one is whining; what you have earned is rightfully yours.
I spelled "moral" wrong, It's a typo. Please don't attack me. It was an innocent mistake.

Sounds like a bunch of Socialist whiners on this blog. Real Americans don't whine about hardships, real Americans have Conservative values and don't look to other people to provide for them. Real Americans don't take the time to post whiny rants on a blog. You should all toughen up and be more like Dick Cheney. I bet you're all Obama lovers too. This is just an indicator of what is wrong with America.
Hey Anon u must be one of those nasty miserable partners huh?
What does being a "real American" have anything to do with this topic? So how much money do u have? How many homes do u own? Only someone who has no worries because they come from money would write this way. Those partners "if u want to call them that" had a duty to keep us employed, Darby did not close its doors due to the economy. They closed their doors because 2 selfish jerks being adda Gogoris and Jay lesser decided against the merger the last minute. They couldnt sign because a merger would "look bad" on their resume, so instead they preferred 200++ employees become unemployed. Real nice!! Its a shame how greed and selfishness is what the "real americans" have become now a days.

This Adda has been at her new location no more than a week now and its clear and obvious she's a high maintenance pain in the derriere.
More than anyone, Robert C. Sullivan, former President and Managing Principal of Darby & Darby, now with Fish, is responsible for Darby's collapse. Ever since the mass departures began (Robinson, Yanney, etc), Rob knew he would make more money by sinking Darby and jumping to another firm, rather than saving the firm through the merger with Saul Ewing. Under the proposed merger, D&D partners would have had a 10% cut in their salaries for the first 2 years. Equity partners at D&D made no more than $450K/year, so for a mere $45K reduction in salary, they could have saved the careers of 200 employees. Sure, Lessler and Goggoris were the ones who failed to sign, but Sullivan demonstrated no leadership whatsoever. As President, he should have had enough influence to either convince the holdouts to sign, or to find alternative merger partners, or to extend Citibank's 3/31 deadline to merge. Not only did he fail at each of those 3 options, he had been negotiating his bailout to Fish all along. Clearly, this was his intent all along: create a facade that he was negotiating a merger, but structure it in a way that his fellow partners would never agree to, and then jump to Fish.
Until the last minute, it was Mel Garner and Ludwig who were working day and night to save the firm. Rob Sullivan, the "president," only chimed in here and there, to keep up the facade. Rob, I don't know how you can sleep at night. For a mere $45K loss, you threw 200 people on the street.
Unfortunately, none of the D&D partners will be on the hook for much. Maybe $50K each, after the dust has settled.
Someone, please call Fish and tell them what a snake they have hired in Robert C. Sullivan.
Anyone who seriously believes that people should aspire to be like Dick Cheney is obviously mentally ill.

LETCHER Co., Ky. (WYMT) - Whitesburg Chief of Police Tyrone Fields said one Letcher County woman had a close call with abduction on Friday evening.
Police said she was almost kidnapped around 5:30 on the Highway 15 bypass where the woman usually runs.
"She knew it just wasn't right for a van to pull over beside her or in front of her and she had no idea who they were," said Chief Fields.
This happened between the hospital and the old high school.
Fields said the woman noticed an older cream colored van with a passenger, in his early to mid-thirties, trying to open the door and take her.
This is when police said the woman began sprinting as fast as possible and got away.
Police described the driver as an older man with white hair and glasses.
Leaves falling and time changing means less daylight.
This is when police said we should be especially mindful of our surroundings.
"Stay out of dark areas," Fields said. "Always have some type of protection whether it's a cell phone that you can just call for help on."
Always let friends know where you are and take a buddy when possible.
"I would do anything I could possibly do," said Fields. "Whether it be fight off the aggressor, whatever it may be to save your life do it."
Most importantly, Fields said, trust your instincts.
He said they are doing everything possible to ensure safety and catch the culprits.
Anyone with information should contact police.
The chief is hosting a public discussion concerning this matter on Thursday at 6:30 in City Hall.

Most everyone who has any kind of savings and investment program wants to see their money grow. They also want to see it grow steadily and as rapidly as possible. The problem with this is that in order to get best results it takes someone watching over those investments who knows what they are doing. Asset management is a way to provide a real solution to this problem.
An asset manager is one who can manage all of your financial assets according to your designated goals. They seek to balance all of your investment related products, including everything in your portfolio, such as your stocks, bonds, insurance, savings, and taxes.
Benefits of Asset Management Companies
Asset management companies are also able to offer a wider choice of investments than an individual would be able to obtain on their own without the company. Another benefit is that the investor can take advantage of using a smaller investment but still get access to more securities.
Using a professional company to manage your assets also enables you to get the expertise of financial experts to manage your portfolio. This gives you the opportunity to let financial experts manage your investments more safely and give you larger returns than you could do on your own. The experts can also apply their insider knowledge to grow your investments with a greater degree of financial security.
Asset managers use a number of professional tools to help them keep an eye on the market and on the things that will affect your assets. This enables them to subtract poorly performing investment tools from the portfolio and add investments that are performing better. Their research may also enable them to discover investments that can give you even faster growth, and they may switch your assets temporarily, giving your portfolio a boost.
Different Kinds of Asset Management Companies
Asset management companies will often specialize in the type of assets that they control. There are companies that specialize in handling stocks, bonds, and securities. Other companies will deal with real estate, but you need to select one that is in line with your financial goals.
Select Your Level of Risk
When an asset management company is selected, investors have the option to choose the level of asset management you want. In each case, there will be a package of investments, which are usually mutual funds. There are also risk levels to choose from, and the investor needs to be sure that the terms are clearly defined and understood before letting the company manage your money. Your risk level will largely determine the type of investments involved; high risk involves mostly stocks with a potential for fast profits, and low risk will have a heavier concentration on safer mutual funds with lower rates of return.
Considerable Costs Are Involved
An advantage of using a company of this sort is that it is possible to get higher interest rates and better investment options. Better opportunities, however, also means that there will be considerable costs involved. Asset management companies do require their clients to be high net-worth. Another advantage is that all of your finances can be handled at the same place.
Asset Companies Use Different Strategies
Asset management companies are not all the same. Each one has its own investment strategy which will be more or less successful. It is necessary to read about and talk to one of the company's representatives to determine if you are in agreement with their particular strategy or not. It will involve how and when they decide to make changes in their portfolio offerings and their goals, which will naturally affect the performance of your portfolio. Be sure to ask specific questions such as their education, certifications, and their experience before making a final choice.
The best asset management companies keep a close eye on the market and the news, and then use that information to help their clients grow their money. They also perform considerable research and base their investment decisions on it and on their years of experience. Because their own profit is at stake from their decisions, you have greater reason to trust them to manage your money, too. Some companies do this task well, and others do not utilize their tools to provide their customers with the best results.
It will also be necessary to look into the history of how well the company performed recently. Asset management companies may change policies and personnel, which can affect how they decide to handle your money. You want a company that has a history of success and satisfied customers

SAN FRANCISCO – Since July 29, 2010, the Giants are 146-99 at AT&T Park. None of those wins have come against the Miami Marlins.
The Marlins extended their winning streak to nine with a come-from-behind 6-3 win Friday night. The last Giants home win over the Marlins was July 28, 2010.
Logan Morrison homered and tripled. Ed Lucas and Marcell Ozuna also had two hits apiece and combined to score three runs.
Eleven National League hitters began play Wednesday hitting .350 or better with two out and runners in scoring position. Ozuna is now among that group. Both of his hits, including the go-ahead, RBI-single in the eighth, came in those situations.
He is now 7 for 20 (.350) with two doubles, a triple and nine RBIs with two outs and runners in scoring position.
The Marlins batted around in what proved to be a decisive eighth inning. Ozuna, pinch hitter Greg Dobbs and Adeiny Hechavarria all reached on consecutive two-out singles. Shortstop Joaquin Arias' throwing error also contributed to the three-run, four-hit inning, which was not without controversy.
With one out and one on, a Jake Dunning pitch appeared to hit Giancarlo Stanton on the hand. Giants' manager Bruce Bochy argued the ball hit the bat knob first, and replays showed he had a good case.
Giants starter Tim Lincecum pitched seven innings, striking out eight and giving up four hits and three runs.

Cameron: 'No going back from Independence'
David Cameron has told the Scottish Conservative Party conference in Edinburgh there will be 'no going back' if Scotland vote yes for independence.
"Six months from now the day will dawn , the polling booths will open, the voters will come out and the people of Scotland will decide - stay or go.
"Stick with the UK or walk away.
"If the Scottish people vote Yes in September, then Scotland will become an independent country, there will be no going back, no second chances."
"We face a monumental battle to keep our United Kingdom together."
Cameron attacks 'wrong and irresponsible' nationalists
David Cameron has condemned Scottish nationalists as "wrong and irresponsible" for dismissing warnings about the political consequences of the upcoming referendum as a "south of the border conspiracy".
Addressing the Scottish Conservative party conference, the Prime Minister said the warnings about an independent Scotland's currency and place in Europe were necessary with citizens ready to make a "major life changing decision".
Prime Minister in Edinburgh for party conference
Prime Minister David Cameron will address the Scottish Conservative Party conference being held this week at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The referendum on Scottish independence is expected to be high on his agenda.
Cameron: Referendum is a major life decision
Speaking at the opening of of the Scottish Conservative party's spring conference in Edinburgh, the prime minister is expected to say the referendum is "a major life decision" that shouldn't be made without knowing the full consequences.
He is expected to add:
And look at who's laying out those consequences: the governor of the Bank of England, the president of the European Commission, business chiefs from companies like BP and Shell; Alliance Trust and RBS; Lloyds, Barclays - the list goes on.
These are not political puppets, they are serious, non-partisan figures.
So, the idea that these are empty warnings and political scare-mongering is a myth - and we owe it to the people of Scotland to take that myth apart.
PM to tackle 'scaremongering' over Scotland
David Cameron will focus on his fight to keep Scotland in the UK as he opens the Scottish Conservative party conference later today.
He is due in Edinburgh, where he will draw on recent interventions from major businesses, such as BP and Shell, in the referendum debate.
Mr Cameron will attempt to tackle accusations of "scaremongering" over the country's future, saying he wants to "take that myth apart".

Clashes at Darling polling stationComment on this story
Darling, Western Cape - An "incident" between candidates' supporters occurred at a voting station in the Western Cape, the Independent Electoral Commission said on Wednesday.
Spokeswoman Kate Bapela said this happened outside the boundary of the voting station and police resolved the matter.
Western Cape police spokesman Lt-Col Andre Traut said the police were not involved.
"It is a political matter. We did not take action," he said.
The SABC reported that tension boiled over between African National Congress and Democratic Alliance supporters in the by-election in Darling.
Supporters of the candidates set up colourful banners outside voting stations in a last-ditch effort to encourage residents to vote. Tempers flared when the supporters argued over the space to set up banners. The SABC reported that police had to intervene to bring the situation under control.
Ward six in Darling East had 3658 registered voters. Three candidates contested the ward: Carol Adams of the ANC, the DA's Michael Rangasamy, and the Pan Africanist Congress's Deon Olivier.
The ward became vacant after the DA councillor died. - Sapa

I then swerved sharply into FR traffic with some 2013 LE1B, a fat pour of OESQ and some OBSV which may be my favorite barrel of < 10yo FR that I've had. I could have gone on drinking it all night, but the baby woke up and I had to pretend I was in bed while my wife went to feed her...

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 4 reviews
There are only a few minor changes to the Mitsubishi Eclipse for 2004. The base level RS now comes standard with power mirrors and stock sound systems have been upgraded from four to six speakers. Although the Eclipse was largely a carry over in 2004, an entirely redesigned model is already in the works.
There are four trim levels for the Eclipse coupe: RS, GS, GT and GTS. The RS comes equipped with the convenience basics, like full power accessories, a CD player, cup holders and air conditioning. Upper level models add cruise control, a rear spoiler, fog lamps, and keyless entry.
The RS and GS are powered by by the smaller of two Eclipse engine options: a 2.4 liter inline four. Both models are supplied with 147 horsepower and 158 pound-feet of torque, and come standard with a five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic is optional, but only the GS model includes a manual shift gate. The GT and GTS are both equipped with a 3.0 liter V-6, providing 200 horsepower on the GT and 210 horsepower on the GTS.
Eclipse fuel economy numbers are respectable, but certainly not class-leading. The manual transmission RS and GS models are estimated at 23/31 mpg. Drivers report mixed driving averages in the low 20s. Reviewers praise the Eclipse for its road manners and acceleration (in the V-6 models). The front-wheel drive coupe handles hard turns with confidence, and the cabin is well-protected from most bumps. Testers would like to see more responsive steering, consistent with the car's sport-oriented presentation.
Both engines produce significant noise, and the tires give a steady hum on rougher surfaces. The cabin is well-organized and controls are user friendly, but reviewers report that the presence of lower quality plastics impedes upon the ambiance.

I'm very down to earth and easy going, with a bit of an edge, but no attitude.
You don't have to have all of the following traits, but ideally you'll have some of them: you're sincere, down to earth, somewhat creative (or at least have an appreciation for the arts), not too serious, quick witted, driven, sensual, compassionate and kinda cute. Too much to ask for? I don't think so...I know you're out there!

Hi, I was just wondering if there are any Marchie's that have ADHD? We are pretty sure that Summer has it. We live in Canada and are just waiting now for her to see the pediatrician to get it comfirmed. I was just wondering if you could give me some more information on it. How does your Marchie do at school? around other children? At home? Do you have any suggestions on what I should be doing with her? to help her? Thanks!
Are there any Marchie's that have ADHD?

Just a couple questions: A) What behavoirs make you think that she has ADHD? B) is she in school and how long has she been there?
Mom to Justin class of 2024
She has always been very hyper, always picking at things and putting things in her mouth. She never could stay still for very long. Also she was a rocker, when ever she got frustrated or tired she would rock for a long time to calm herself. I noticed at age 3 that she was speech delayed and started taking her to a speech pathologist. After a few sessions the speech pathologist told me that she is really having a hard time trying to get dd to focus. She would always get distracted by the things in her office. She also would not make eye contact with her. We ended up having to move her speech appts to a room that is completely empty except for a little table. Even now though she has a hard time focusing for an hour. The speech pathologist still has to bribe her bacisally. She uses stickers and stamps and sometime she will bring in a game or puzzle of some sort. Also I noticed that she does not socialize with other children very much. I take her to drop in playgroups and she keeps to herself. She usually will just paint or play with playdoh. She never wants to join in on circle time. She also throws tantrums a lot still. She is turning 5 this March. If she does not get her way she will cry very loudly. She get frustrated very easily,.If she can't do something she will start crying loudly or throw the toy or object that she has in her hand across the room and say "I never can't do it" If we go anywhere like to a store or to the park she always runs away from me even though I ask her to stay near or not to run away. I am always chasing her. Another thing I noticed is she does not play with toys. She never has really. We have bought her so much and she hardly ever touches any of it. She asked for a few dolls and barbies for Christmas and we got them for her and she was so happy to get them Christmas morning but has not touched them since. One thing she do love though is to colour. She loves to paint and colour and cut with sissors. She loves to play with playdoh and do crafts. Also if she is watching tv or playing a computer game she seems to really focus in to it. If we ask her something or say her name she will not answer. You have to say her name about 10 times or more or you have to turn off what she is watching or take it away. Another thing I noticed is that sometimes when she is playing with her sister or anything really and you say her name she doesn't say "what?" she will just make this random noise. She does it all the time and to anyone. I know there is probably more but I think you can understand what we are going through. I love my little girl more then life itself but it is so hard sometimes. I just wish I could understand her better and to help her. She is starting Kindergarten this September so I really need to know what to do and how I can get her the help she needs.
I brought her to see our family doc yesterday and asked for a referral to a pediatrician. I told her basically everything I have written above and she is going to make an appt for us. We live in Canada so you need a referral to see a ped up here.
Thanks for your time. If you have any thoughts or suggestions please share them with me.

This is copied and pasted from a post I created on the ADHD board on here.
Mommy to Summer 3-30-06 & Brooklyn 8-23-08 � � � � � � � � � � ��
Hey April, I hope that the ped has some recommendations for you. I'm wondering if speech therapy alone is enough. If Summer's development is worrying you in more than just the area of speech, I'm thinking that she maybe needs some other sort of therapeutic intervention, especially before she starts school.
I'm positive that not being able to focus is going make it difficult for her to learn when she starts kindergarten. Depending on the teacher, she/he may or may not have the skills or time to help Summer adequately and I wouldn't want to depend on this when school starts.
Mama to Timothy born 3/28/2006 and Benjamin born 1/1/2009!
I agree with Kris. I'm left wondering if she might need additional therapy besides speech...a developmental program of sorts. It sounds like fine motor is an interest and something she excels at, though (so that is good...and not an area of concern).
You mention that she CAN focus on TV and the computer. From what I have heard, someone with ADHD wouldn't be able to do that. This isn't my area of expertise, so that may be incorrect information.
It also sounds like you have some safety concerns...running away from you...that is soooo scary!!!
April, I know I've said this before but you are an amazing mom!!!! Keep up the great work! :)
Leighton Caroline - 3/28/06 and Ainsley Paige - 6/1/09
April, she sounds very similiar to Justin. ADHD has been mentioned to me, my supersensitvive family thinks that everyone has it. Justin is very focused and is interested very well on what HE wants to do - lol. That is his personality, so I'm not too concerned about it. He's also a computer nerd, we have to limit the games (online and the Leapster) because he'd play them for hours on end if we didn't.
Did you ever get her in pre-k/preschool? Justin has developed socially a ton this year by going. In areas that I had never even recognized. I honestly don't think he's ready for kindergarten but having a March birthday there isn't really much of a choice for us.
Mom to Justin class of 2024
Thanks guys, yes I have her in a lot of other progroms where she can interact with other kids. She hasn't been there lately though because she has been soo sick (last week she had tonsillitis, head cold, stomach flu and now an ear infection) I take her and her sister to playgroup 2x a week, she is in kinderstart where she goes once a month. Thats at the same place she will be going to Kindergarten in September. She knows her Kindergarten teacher and the guidance councillor. She goes to speech 1x a week but also her speech pathologist set up an I.S.S.P for Summer. I don't know exactly what that means and I don't know if you have that in the U.S but it's were we have a meeting every few months with her teachers, speech pathologist, the workers from the place where we take her to playgroup, her public health nurse and the daycare workers. I have her taken out of daycare now so they won't be at the next meeting. It's where we discuss Summer and what her needs are and how to help her. During Kinderstart the guidance councillor comes and stays with the class. She is going to be there every time we go so there is an extra person to help with Summer. I've been talking to some people and they also mention that it sounds like she could be Autistic? Hopefully it won't take long to get an appt with the peditrician. The guidance councillor told me not to worry about Kindergarten. If we find out Summer has Adhd or any other disorder or problems they will assign a student aid to help her and she will receive speech therapy through the school.
Mommy to Summer 3-30-06 & Brooklyn 8-23-08 � � � � � � � � � � ��
I am no expert but it does sound more like autism vs ADHD. I had an ADHD child in my daycare the last 1.5 years. I also have a daycare boy currently that I believe is autistic. Speech comes over for DD weekly and they noticed the same thing with this boy. I will tell you the things I noticed for both of these kids to see if anything clicks. Mind you the ADHD child is on medication.
ADHD child- VERY hyper and LOUD. Fails to listen to any rules set forth for her. Cannot watch an entire movie or 30 minute TV show for that matter. Never sits still. Speech is amazing and has always been ahead in this area. By age 3 she knew all her ABC's and 123's. When she came to me she was only slightly behind in colors. She is much like DS and knows random facts that do not mean anything but are interesting. She is overweight- 80 lbs at age 5. Doc had mentioned it is due to her ADHD because she would just eat and eat and eat. Now that she is on medication she rarely finishes her plate. This is kind of odd but she does well one on one, very poor in a small group (3-7 kids) but does VERY well in a slightly larger group (18-20 kids). When at my house a few things that calm her down are folding towels/blankets and playing with my hair. I cannot tell you how many nap times she has spent brushing my hair. I hate people touching my hair but I figure if it calms her down what the heck. She will fold the same blanket over and over until it is just right in her mind.
Child with possible autism- spins around in circles at least 50% of the day. He can spin up to 30 minutes at a time without getting dizzy. Likes small spaces. I often times find him 'hiding' underneath the train table or under a desk in the toy room that literally has 1 foot of clearance room under it. When he flushes the toilet he will cover his ears and run out of the bathroom. He does the same if the TV is too loud for him. His speech is clear but he doesn't hold a conversation with you. In fact he doesn't understand a question if asked. For example I will say "ABC what is on your shirt?" He will say "see my owie." Totally off topic response. If ask "ABC do you want milk or water?" He will say "milk or water." VERY slow eater. I am talking 45 minutes to 1 hour for lunch and that is with me prompting him every 2 minutes. He gets distracted by his hands or fork or you get the point. I had to move him to a different spot at the table because he would stare at the blank TV while eating. Mom says he has tons of tantrums at home and hits and kicks and throws things. I don't see that at my house BUT I also have lots of structure here with pretty rigid rules and it helps to keep the kids in check.
He prefers playing alone. Being that it is winter and too cold most days to get outside I allow the kids to run around only in the toy room. All the other boys were running around for at least an hour and he was out in the kitchen with me while I washed bottles. I asked if he wanted to play with the others and I could see him (on the camera) walk into the toy room and walk back out and stand by the door. He ended up back in the kitchen. He doesn't play with many toys but has a few that he loves at my house and he gets fixated on them IMO. I have a pirate Little People that he will carry around all day if I let him. Instead I make a point to guide him towards other toys that he is less comfortable with. He cannot follow or rather understand simple directions such as "put the ball on the shelf." He will put the ball on the floor instead. If i let him he would watch TV all day long. I let them watch a few shows in the morning as kids are arriving to allow them all to wake up a little. He sits and watches and hardly moves a muscle. When I turn the TV off he will sit and stare at the TV.
My other question for you would be how many ear infections is she having? Is it possible she just cannot hear well which is why her speech is delayed? Caleb just had his 2nd set of tubes last week because of ear infection after ear infection. In between ear infections his ears would have fluid in them which made hearing difficult. We would have to repeat ourselves numerous times for him to hear. I recently had a horrible double ear infection that made hearing very difficult. I couldn't drive and really couldn't talk on the phone because I couldn't hear. I can only imagine what a child goes through. Basically if she is not hearing well that could be causing lots of behaviors. Not being able to verbally express herself could also be cause for numerous behaviors. *HUGS* hang in there. It is always hard when something could be wrong with our child.
Mom to DS (2006) and twin DDs (2010)
I'm a little nervous about school starting but I'll just have to wait and see how he does.
Ally = Proud Mama of Little Aaron (8), Kari (5) and Mallory (4)
I have suspected ADHD in my ds for a while. At first, when he was 2 and just running all the time I thought, oh it's because he is a boy, well now that he is 4.5 and still very active from the minute he wakes up to the time he goes to bed. I have taken him to jumpy places and let him go for 2 hours straight and he still is not tired, when family members come over he is always very active and doesn't sit still until they leave, they look at me like what is he doing. When he is around other kids, I notice that he is the most active one there. I just got his preschool progress report and on it it says he gets easily distracted (broke my heart). He is a very emotional child as well. I would like to get him some help now before he goes into kindergarten (which is all day) and teachers are calling me and telling me things I don't want to hear.

Hey everyone! My darling fixie "windy" which is covered in punk/queer stickers and has a rain guard and bmx handlebars, was stolen from my front porch in preston!! If anyone spots someone who is NOT a long haired butch who always wears tight black jeans riding her... Can you give me a call? My name is Casper and my number is 0481356877. I can give $$$ as a reward or vegan treats. I love this bike SO MUCH, as I'm sure my fellow bike nerds will understand. The first picture is my bike and the second one is just the model. The handlbars don't look like that. Thanks!! <3
My Giant Defy was stolen today from Melbourne University.
Pretty much the same as the picture provided, aside from black grips, black Ritchey saddle and regular pedals.
It has a blue Crino Cycles sticker on the inside of the rear stay.
Apparently the University staff are aware of a male who is regularly stealing bikes from the campus.
Friday 12 March CBD. Merida Matts Silver Medium. Wife's Bday present. Leicester still outside Oxfam.
I think Victorian Police should form special bike team to bust these thief. I have seen video in UK, where police put bike decoy to catch the thief.
Should government put official registration on all bikes?

Chef Lagasse proudly displays his name on his signature Emeril Cookware Pro-Clad Stainless Steel 12 piece cookware made by All-Clad, which is one of the best names in cookware favored by professional chefs worldwide.
Most celebrity chefs sell home cookware with their name on it these days. It is assumed that if the chef puts his or her name on the cookware it is the best stainless steel cookware. In researching cookware from various celebrity chefs, I found it was sometimes difficult to determine the company that manufactured the cookware, the quality of the materials used and manufacturing practices to determine if they were really the best quality cookware.
Emeril Cookware by All-Clad
Chef Emeril Lagasse partnered with All-Clad to develop his triple layer Emeril Cookware Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware so you can cook like a professional chef.
This high quality stainless steel cookware has a thick aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel to ensure even heating and beautiful looks. Stainless steel on its own is a poor conductor of heat and tends to heat unevenly. Aluminum is a soft metal an efficient conductor of heat, and the entire piece of aluminum conducts heat. Combining the hard outer stainless steel shell and aluminum core results in one the best types of cooking surfaces.

Which Emeril Cookware Line is Best for your Needs and Budget?
Emeril offers two stainless steel cookware lines: Emeril Chef's Stainless Steel Line and the Premium Emeril Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware
Emeril Cookware offers an entry level Emeril Chef's Stainless Steel Cookware line that has a copper base with the model numbers E937SA64 or E934SA64. You will notice that the skillet below just says "Emeril" on the handle, while the premium Emeril Pro-Clad above, which is made by All-Clad has a solid stainless steel shell and "Pro-Clad" underneath the word Emeril.
Be aware this is not the premium Emeril Cookware Pro-Clad stainless steel cookware line, and the complaints I have read about the metal base separating from the pan are for the budget Emeril Chef's Stainless Steel Cookware line and not the Pro-Clad cookware, which is a tri-ply construction of an aluminum core bonded between two solid pieces of stainless steel. Emeril Pro-Clad is the premium line of stainless steel cookware and does not have a copper base.
Benefits of Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware
- Bonded tri-ply stainless/aluminum/stainless cookware for optimum heat conductivity and cooking performance.
- Beautiful stainless steel surface that allows you to cook like a professional chef.
- Pro-Clad is suitable for use with gas, electric, ceramic glass, or induction stove tops.
- Tapered rim for spill-resistant pouring
- Tempered glass lids
- Ergonomically designed handle to prevent hand strain and is attached with stainless steel rivets that prevent the handles from coming loose.
- Dishwasher safe
- Lifetime Warranty
What Does Induction-Ready Mean?
Induction burners use a magnetic field to create heat, rather than electricity or gas. The burner gets hot when an induction pan is placed on the burner, and is cool to the touch when the pan is removed. This type of cooking surface saves energy, and prevents burns. This is so important in professional kitchens, when little hands get near a hot burner in the home.
Tapered Edges to Prevent Spills
The Emeril Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware includes the signature tapered edge standard with all stainless steel cookware made by All-Clad, that prevents spills when pouring hot liquids from the pan. This is especially important to prevent burns when pouring hot liquids, or preventing a fire if pouring off hot liquified fat.
Ergonomic Stay Cool Handles are Riveting On
While some cheaper stainless steel cookware affixes the handles to the cookware with screws that can come loose or even fall off, the handles on the Emerilware by All Clad are riveted on and will never come loose. The handles are designed to be ergonomically balanced for your hands for easy use, and to prevent hand or wrist injury, and are heat resistant to prevent burns.
Tempered Glass Lids
Emerilware stainless steel cookware available at Amazon.com comes with beautiful tempered glass lids, so you can monitor cooking without having to open the lids to check the status of the food. This is important when cooking food like rice that can be ruined if the steam escapes, or to prevent boiling liquid from splattering on the stove top or on you. Glass lids can be used up to 350°. While Emerilware is oven-safe, lids should not be placed in the oven. Lids are dishwasher safe.
Is It Oven Safe?
The Emeril Cookware Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware available at Amazon.com is oven safe to 550° Fahrenheit. The lids are safe up to 350° F, so it is recommended that the lids only be used when cooking on the stove top. If the recipe says to cover the dish while cooking in the oven, use aluminum foil instead to prevent damage to the lids.
Dishwasher Safe
The Emeril Pro-Clad stainless steel cookware and tempered glass lids are dishwasher safe.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
All-Clad offers a Lifetime Warranty for all their cookware, including the Emeril Cookware Pro-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware.
Drawbacks of the Emeril Cookware
Any legitimate product review should include negatives of a product. I will admit I was not able to find too many negatives for this stainless steel cookware. The biggest drawback I found was that, while the Emeril Pro-Clad line is designed by All-Clad metallurgists, this stainless steel cookware line is not manufactured in the US as their professional cookware line is. In their defense, All-Clad states they strictly monitor the manufacturing process to ensure it meets All-Clad exacting manufacturing standards. This is to keep the cost of the Emeril Cookware affordable for all budgets.

Many juicers and blenders excel at predictable tasks like juicing and making smoothies, but high-end versions of these machines are being pushed further and further into multitasking territory.
For high-end blenders, this means more power and pitchers shaped to funnel food smoothly into the spinning blades. Among juicers, masticating models -- which use rotating augers or gears to slowly crush produce -- show the most multitasking ability. Some can even make foods like nut butter, pasta and baby food.
So which machine is a better investment? Consider how each appliance would fare in this head-to-head boxing match:
