'Twilight Saga' co-stars Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene are thinking of moving into a New York apartment together.
Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene are moving in together.
The 'Twilight Saga' co-stars - who play adopted brother and sister Emmett and Alice Cullen in the vampire movie franchise - are close friends off set and are thinking of sharing an apartment in New York - though they don't know how much time they would get to spend together.
Kellan said: "I was talking to Ashley about maybe sharing a place out here in New York.
"We're never here at the same time but we both love New York. So we'd be rooommates without being roommates...more like housemates."
While work on the final part of the 'Twilight' series, 'Breaking Dawn' is complete, Kellan insists he isn't sad because shooting is "tough" and he much prefers promoting the films.
He told E! Online: "I really look forward to the tours, I love the premieres, I love the fan conventions, but shooting the movie is kind of the tough part. It's so long being away and it's gloomy where we shoot. I'm not sad that we're actually done with the movie because we have all these other amazing things coming up."

Review: 'Barrymore' a showcase for Plummer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fourteen years' passage is no great obstacle for Christopher Plummer in "Barrymore," which recreates the quasi-one-man show that earned him a Tony in 1997. If the play itself (by William Luce) might have welcomed a subtler translation than the one offered by Erik Canuel, its core performance remains transfixing enough to draw small crowds of drama buffs to the art house.
Set in Broadway's Majestic Theater (but filmed at Toronto's Elgin and Winter Garden center, a stately stand-in), the story imagines an attempt by aging, booze-ravaged John Barrymore to restart his stage career. Having rented the theater for a one-night "audition" for financial backers, we see his rehearsal for that make-or-break night, when his only audience is an offstage prompter (and longtime Barrymore associate) Frank.
Though Frank tries desperately to keep Barrymore working on "Richard III," the play he hopes to mount, the actor proves endlessly distractible — taking anything from an apple to a flyswatter to no object at all as an excuse to break into colorful, remorse-soaked anecdotes about his legendary family, failed marriages, and the playwright Ned Sheldon, the dear friend who got him to take acting seriously.
Barrymore isn't quite 60 when the action takes place, which doesn't hinder the 81-year old Plummer a bit: We imagine Barrymore's famous dissipation couldn't have left him with more stamina or steadiness than Plummer shows here, and this actor's nimble mind easily follows the alcoholic's eager jumps from one excuse to another to divert attention from his inability to remember what comes after "Now is the winter of our..."
Given permission — make that a mandate — to chew scenery, Plummer is misty-eyed one minute, regal the next, and full of Borscht-belt shtick whenever more elevated trains of thought evade him. Not only is he splendid, he does a delightful impression of another Barrymore, Lionel, who upstaged his younger sibling at every opportunity.
Still, filmmaker Canuel isn't quite sure Plummer will keep moviegoers awake. He reminds us of his presence at regular intervals, whisking in visions of Venice or home when Barrymore's stories wander there, and dissolving to black-and-white soliloquies to show us how brilliant the actor's early Shakespeare outings were.
It's an understandable impulse, but one Canuel follows without finesse, occasionally making the project look a little shoddy. John's big sis, Ethel, always after him to give up Tinseltown tawdriness for the purity of the stage, would not have approved.
"Barrymore," an Image Entertainment release, is not rated. 83 minutes.

The Collserola Tower was designed by Norman Foster for the 1992 Olympics, amid controversy over defacement of the traditional skyline. A vertigo-inducing elevator ride takes you to the observation deck. Take the FGC S1, S2, or S5 line to Peu Funicular, then the funicular up to Vallvidrera; from the village of Vallvidrera it's a pleasant walk to the tower.

I disagree, a logo is almost junk. Content is what matters. Look at google, their logo is crap and they are worth billions. Look at facebook, crap too, also billions.
While a logo is not the one that keep people on your site, yes, it is so important a well designed logo. It is your brand, it is the one that represent you, your site and/or your product/service. So it should be the best it could be.
I disagree, a logo is almost junk. Content is what matters. Look at google, their logo is crap and they are worth billions. Look at facebook, crap too, also billions.
I pretty much agree with everyone's comments, there are also a lot of other things to believe when making a good quality website, but i was just saying that, i think, a logo plays a sensible role in the expansion of a website.
A logo is an picture that represents your net site. When people see the picture, it will remind them of your net site or your company. In the event you have a glance at any company, you will notice that they will have a logo, then somewhere close to the logo will bear their company name.
Having your website a bad logo doesn't make other people keep away from your website. As you can see, not all internet and internet marketers are not that expert like most big internet sites like The search engines and The search engines. But a good looking logo can significantly enlighten your readers..
Logo is the most important for every site. Logo is the identification of any company. You have good logo of your sites, it's really good for your site. Your site will become popular through logo.
A logo plays a vital role in making a company known in the market. Once the company gets popular, the logo moves on to be the way people will recognize it. These days there is a more emphasis laid on having a representable logo.
Logo serves as the brand identity of a certain company. It is a way that viewers identify your business.
A logo of a website is the heart of website. It most attractive and impressive part of website. it should be attractive and unique.

Kane Evans
- Date of Birth: 09-01-1992
- Height: 192cm
- Weight: 110kg
- Position: Prop
- Rep. Honours: NA
- Junior Clubs: Leichhardt Wanderers
- FG Debut: Roosters v Parramatta, Allianz Stadium, 15/03/14 (Rd 2)
- Club Debut: Roosters v Parramatta, Allianz Stadium, 15/03/14 (Rd 2)
A young man on the rise within the walls at Roosters HQ, Kane Evans has been destined for big things in the game since dominating the Junior Rep and Holden Cup competitions in recent seasons.
A Fiji international after gaining selection in their 2013 Rugby League World Cup Squad without an NRL appearance to his name, Evans' transformation from young-gun to NRL player is almost complete after his debut in Season 2014 against the Parramatta Eels in Round 2.
Evans went on to feature in nine matches for Trent Robinson last season, with eight matches off the bench, and is undoubtedly looking to add to the tally following the departures of middle men Frank-Paul Nuuausala and Remi Casty.
A former NSW representative at U18s and U20s level, Evans averaged more than 55m a match in 2014.

I am sat in a hotel room in Lille and writing my first post on a tablet - how the world is changing around me!
I'm still a Twitter virgin, am judicious with my use of Facebook and know my fear of Skype is a restriction, but I am getting there!
I don't want to turn into someone who prioritises those on end of mobile to those sat with me, which I find I'll-mannered, but hoping for a happy medium in this brave New techy world.
vampires and homo-eroticism...
@ Saturday, 09. Aug, 2014 – 13:53:03
I'm absolutely no goth and not especially "into" vampires but can see all the erotic potential and understand the symbolism of all that neck-biting.
I enjoyed the book of Dracula but it was not the easiest of reads. And I find some of the early Hammer House films quite fun. I loved both Herzog's Nosferatu and the 1920s original for their atmosphere but that's about as far as it goes.
Oh! And there was a very sexy stage production which was one of my first visits to the theatre and there were naked people up close!
Anyway - I digress...
Not overly into vampires, but not immune either I suppose - just not a central erotic motif. that said I just adore "True Blood". There is a lot of sexual activity, but more than this, there is an underlying sexual tension that makes the thing as steamy as the South in which it is based. The brooding sexuality of vampires and various supernaturals just simmer throughout and the title sequence with the fabulous refrain "I wanna do bad things with you" is seriously weird and hot.
I totally get that a lot of men love "girl on girl" lipstick lesbian stuff and although I'm not especially voyeuristic, there have been some amazingly homo-erotic dream scenes which I thought very sexy. I remember feeling the same about some gay men scenes in "Queer as Folk" many years ago. Both programmes are up there for me with "Brokenback Mountain" for making man-on-man action delightfully tingle-making.

Desert island Discs is back this week and it got me thinking about Mr Vettriano. I remember listening to him on DID and Sue Lawley foolishly suggesting that if he was in love he'd lose his dark fantasies. I was delighted when he politely laughed at her and suggested she didn't have a future in psychology.
Just listened to it again and he is just fab:
A sexy, confident man fully accepting his working class roots and at ease with himself whatever some make of his art. It's a great interview and his voice and accent sent tingles down my spine. The lady for whom he chose Leonard Cohen's I'm Your man" is very lucky...!
Ooh - Vettriano and Cohen - I always say I'm a spankee not a submissive but may be open to persuasion!

Can't believe that last time I wrote it was hot! Today has been fierce hail, light hail, rain, wind, sunshine and a rainbow. last night was dramatic winds and a power cut - I've not written a wintry weather spanking tale though - one to think about - all those layers to uncover!
Hot! Hot! Hot!
@ Wednesday, 17. Jul, 2013 – 10:26:42
South Wales is "Scorchio" - the idea of lingerie on such a day seems madness.
Another little something I wrote which reflects the weather...
...Suzee watched as Stan made a start on the car. God, but it was hot! Reluctantly she reminded herself that the paperwork wouldnt sort itself. Suzee was wearing a floaty Grecian dress of the thinnest cotton and a pair of plain flesh-coloured cotton knickers underneath. In this heat she couldnt bear anything more close fitting. As she started collating her paperwork, Suzee got even more hot and bothered.
This is ridiculous, she thought as the heat got to her and she decided to lose her knickers in the heat of the afternoon sun. She couldnt help her grin as she heard Stan working away as she pulled down her own underwear and stepped out of the thin cotton pants. Seemed a shame to be taking down her own knickers, when due a spanking. She decided that a nice fresh pair of white or black cotton could be put on later for Stan. Covered only in the thin cotton of her frock and barefooted, Suzee still found herself overwhelmed by the heat as she rearranged her papers in a desultory manner.
Suzee could not believe how hot she still was and wondered in amazement how Stan could work so hard in t-shirt and jeans in the heat. She couldnt imagine how shed cope as the heat really began to get at her. She was determined to carry on though, as she thought of poor Stan working away on the car shed damaged, despite the unexpectedly hot day.
An hour later, Suzee had had enough. Shed done a fair amount, but by no means all that she had intended. With relief she stepped into the cool, refreshing shower, and swilled off the heat of the day. Within moments of soaping and rinsing, she was again aware of the heat. She wrapped herself in the bath sheet briefly to remove the excess water and allowed the water to dry on her skin.
She was still very hot, but feeling clean and lying on the bed, Suzee could appreciate the feel of the heat as it induced a lazy sleepiness in her. With guilty relief she realised that Stan sounded as though he was clearing up, so must have finished working in that awful heat. Wrapping the bath sheet around herself once more Suzee hurried downstairs to make him a cup of tea. She knew that nothing refreshed as much as tea, despite the heat.
Stan was drenched in sweat. He gratefully accepted his tea and Suzees suggestion of a shower was almost superfluous in the circumstances. Suzee thought how sexy he looked in the jeans and t-shirt grubby and damp from the work on the car, but a clean Stan would also be rather nice
Once again Suzee lay on the bed, managing to enjoy the heat as she listened to Stan in the shower. She was so sleepy, though! She could not imagine having the energy to make love, let alone take a spanking Suzee believed in fair play, but believing in anything in this heat was all she could imagine herself capable of doing. She hated to disappoint Stan, but a spanking just seemed impossible
Stan came out of the shower, towelling himself with more energy than Suzee had managed. By now Suzee had got under the thin summer duvet, appreciating its initial coolness against her skin. As Stan towelled his hair she apologised to him:
I know we agreed to a spanking, Lover, but its just too damn hot! I honestly dont think I can cope and for the first time ever, it doesnt appeal to me! Its so nice just lying here How about a siesta and you can owe me a spanking? ...
The joys of lingerie
@ Thursday, 14. Feb, 2013 – 23:10:19
Rereading my sexy snippet reminded me of something else wot i rote a while ago.
Feeling one has to wear frilly knickers or a rubber peephole bra (or whatever...) to be sexy isn't sexy. But dressing up in something to add to the mood because you want to (and not because you need to) is quite delicious.
This is something I wrote about dressing for fun:
She smiled to herself as she thought of the vanilla candles. Along with the vanilla soap and body lotion they would imply that she was only interested in a more conventional lovemaking. His threats of spankings had been fierce in their communication throughout their separation. She had teased him, sometimes welcoming the thoughts and sometimes protesting, but they both knew how much she needed and wanted him to spank her.
She smiled too, as she dressed. There were times that only black underwear would do, she told herself as she opened the packet and took out a new pair of black stockings. She fastened the black suspender belt and drew on the stockings. She picked out a new pair of knickers they were black net not overly skimpy but revealing more than they hid. The pink ribbon threaded through was rather sweet she thought; counterpointing the naughtiness of their sheer texture.
Although it was illogical to put on her shoes before completing her dressing, she couldnt resist. He loved her in her underwear and the spike-heeled, strappy shoes. She enjoyed the subtle contrast of the dark purple straps that criss-crossed her toes and fastened around her ankles. They looked wonderful with the black stockings as hed noted over his knee, across the table or chair and finally on her bed
He had put a lot of thought into how he was going to spank her, so she decided a half-slip petticoat would throw his plans and amuse both him and her. She also knew that she would get spanked on every layer, so her petticoat would earn her a longer spanking Of course she planned to protest that she was trying to seduce him into simply wanting to caress and fuck her but she knew that neither of them would be fooled
Once again she smiled to herself. She teased him about how much time she spent thinking about what shed wear for him and cook for him. And the fact that she planned her underwear and then the rest of her clothing caused her amusement not stereotypically feminist thoughts, but she was no stereotype, as they both knew.
Stood in her slip, black stockings and stilettos she was almost respectable from the waist down Her uncovered large breasts, however, shattered any such claims to respectability as she reached for the plain white shirt and slipped it over her head. She knew he liked the quite formal look of her in a blouse and office-style skirt. Illogically she had left the close-fitting black skirt until last. She struggled into it, stepping into the garment carefully, unsteady in her high-heeled shoes, and aware of the absurdity of trying to keep the petticoat down as she tugged the skirt up. She just liked the idea of dressing in the reverse order to the way she was likely to be undressed and uncovered by him.
Her skirt was always the first garment to be lifted, when she was over his lap and had received her first spanking over it. He would spank her over her petticoat, before uncovering her knickers. She shivered at the thought of him taking down her knickers for her first bare-bottomed spanking in two weeks. Although he would take down the pretty black net underwear, she also knew that they would be put back in place ready for the long, hard spanking and caning he had promised her bent over the chair.
He had said he would cane her over her skirt, and then remove it for the rest of her caning. He hadnt planned on her petticoat. She knew she would also receive a caning over the thin black slip in addition to the ones hed already promised to deliver over skirt, knickers and finally on her bare bottom. She didnt know if he would remove the slip or raise it
As she imagined herself over the chair, she knew that he would take down her knickers as she bent over for a caning on the bare. He had also said he would paddle her bare bottom if she had recovered from her first spanking with his hand and her hairbrush. She knew he would inevitably decide she needed the paddle across her exposed bum, as well as the cane She realised that once again she would lose the protection of her insubstantial knickers before he removed her blouse, but she usually got to regain them, before he took her into the bedroom.
He would spank her naked bottom with the paddle until she felt she could take no more, and then she would receive six strokes of the cane
As she stood shakily in her blouse, knickers, stockings, suspenders and heels, he would hug her and take her to the bedroom. On the bed, she knew she would lose her blouse and then her knickers as he made love to her, dressed in her stockings, suspenders and heels. She was aware that if she turned over onto her tummy as he touched and stroked her he would spank her again. And somehow, despite being spanked to her limit over his lap and over the chair, his kisses and caresses would make her relive her spankings and she would want to be in his power once again. She knew that she would lie on her bed, face down, bare-bottomed in her stockings and stilettos so he could decide how she was to be spanked, as she lay quietly, acquiescent and dazed with desire despite her apprehension.
Sex and spanking...
@ Thursday, 14. Feb, 2013 – 22:42:52
...always a good combination I find. I was reading my blog and found mention of something I'd written a while back and forgotten. If I have an idea I will write just a title or few lines as a trigger. And sometimes I write a bit more and keep as what I call a "sexy snippet" which may stand alone or form opening of longer story. As I love cliffhangers and ellipses I find such "snapshots" rather sexy. Really enjoyed rereading this one. Hope others do as well...
All at Sea
Suzee knew she had what she described as rubbish co-ordination. She also had problems with left and right. She was literally cack handed being a South paw but knew that others like Leonardo, Paul McCartney and the Ripper were not exactly lacking precision and dexterity, despite their non-dexter attributes - Oh, yes - Suzee can be somewhat pedantic and resented the assumptions that lefties were awkward and that everything neat was assumed to be right - best not to get her started on sinister and dexter... So it was galling that she couldnt help proving the stereotype of unco-ordinated leftie as well as being equally rubbish at car parking which she saw as unrelated to her lack of a penis. Yes, Suzee can be a bit of a ranter if you get her started.
One of the Captains first impressions of Suzee was that she didnt suffer fools gladly. In Suzees defence, she could be diplomatic, but she did hate bullshit, believed in straight talking and wasnt easily fooled. The Captains idea of a crew member whod get her bottom smacked for her errors appealed to them as a fantasy, but wasnt going to happen - As Suzee would be such a rubbish deck hand - her words - through no fault of her own it just wouldnt be fair for her to get disciplined for something she couldnt help. And besides, she grinned Id have to accept you had some authority over me.
Luckily for the Captain, despite quickly realising that mastery and punishment of a submissive Suzee was not very likely, she was still amazingly spankable. With the right timing and mood, Suzee could be put over his knee or would bend over for a spanking or the cane as he decided whether or not to raise her skirts or lower her knickers. Caning Suzee had a certain satisfaction, but there was something about the flesh on flesh contact of an old-fashioned spanking and Suzee quickly realised that hands that do rigging can make quite an impression. The captain certainly enjoyed leaving his mark whether it was the red handprint on Suzees big bottom or her muffled yelp at the impact.
And luckily for both of them hed immediately realised that erotic confusion was the best way to control Suzee. The deep kisses and rearrangement of her clothing while he explored her body had her as helpless as the proverbial kitten as he decided whether to stroke her or spank her. And being enterprising and more in control than she was he would often do both!
Suzee was well endowed in both the breast and bottom department and joked about her extra large hourglass proportions. Shed quickly realised that a generous bottom could bring pleasure to both herself and an enthusiastic spanker, and being rather fond of more conventional attention found her abundant breasts could also be a source of pleasure as the Captain happily proved. And exploring his way through her formal frock with the hint of cleavage and the confirmation that there were suspenders holding up the fishnet hosiery brought them both immense pleasure. As did the unveiling of the black basque and net slip and first glimpse of the stocking tops and almost innocent satiny black knickers.
As hed drawn her to her feet that first time she found herself somewhat shaky and it was not entirely down to her rather high black stilettos which brought her nearly to his height she discovered as she clung to him partly for support and most definitely for the sheer pleasure of his body against hers. His decision to remove her dress was wordlessly agreed as still shaking she discovered he had indeed made another decision and the casual slaps to her bottom between the kisses and caresses were about to be formalised.
Suzee acquiesced in an erotic daze and somehow following his decision that she was to go over his knee for a spanking she moved from the head to toe touch of his body against hers and in a state of near-confusion but compliance found herself over his lap for the first time.
More Sex Please - We're British! - "My Mad Fat Diary"
@ Wednesday, 23. Jan, 2013 – 20:04:01
Saw first two episodes of this wonderful comedy/drama from Channel 4.
It seems realistic about what it's like to be a teenager and how difficult it can be, but what I loved was something I don't think I've seen before in a drama - a young woman taking pleasure on her own - Hooray for female masturbation! It wasn't gratuitous or overly explicit but it was obvious what was happening and it was shown as joyful and fun. Hope lots of people saw it - especially young women and men!
Those who have read some of my previous rants will know that I hate how women's sexuality has been portrayed as male centred and for the male gaze. Pornificaton of culture means that in a twisted idea of sexuaity, women feel need to act and look like porn stars and while they may be proud of their sexual repertoire, I suspect they sometimes (often?) don't actually work out their own sexuality and what gives them pleasure.
I would recommend the great Betty Dodson for a sensible and joyous approach to this wonderful topic.
And it seems pornification and raunch culture is up for discussion again - Here's something I wrote a while ago - Suzee's Sex manifesto in a way! Can't believe it was seven years ago that I wrote it, though!
Power, consent and BDSM/spanking stuff
@ Tuesday, 20. Nov, 2012 – 00:24:12
A bit of a p.s. on last post.
One of the interesting things about coming to terms with being into BDSM and/or spanking and/or power exchange is that a lot of thought is given to power issue and boundaries - not something that happens when one usually has sex, becomes part of a couple, falls in love etc.
I think in usual relationship development things are "understood" and often unspoken based on norms of behaviour and personal history. Power relatonships and domination/submission will be cultural and personal and may be stated, but less likey to be negotiated. If you're going to allow someone to hit you and/or tie you up, you're going to think very carefully (I hope!) about boundaries and the mantra of "safe, sane, consensual" is vital to most sensible people who incorporate such behaviours into their lives.
Personally I like getting spanked and am not generally submissive within a relationship in a wider context, but some people are. And some choose to live full time in a Dom(me)/sub relationship. This ceding of "power" as a chosen act that suits both partie but will have rules to ensure it works for both/all parties involved.
Some may persue a power relationship without rules and that is for them to decide. Discussions on such issues can be found on BDSM sites.

Chris Brown's Ex Sees Rihanna's Rolling Stone Cover, Raises Her One Topless Rolling Out Cover
Rihanna's not the only woman talking about Chris Brown on the cover of a magazine this week. Shortly before RiRi's controversial Rolling Stone cover came out, a topless Karrueche Tran peered seductively off the front of Rolling Out magazine, teasing a story that's ostensibly about her fashion line, The Kill. Of course, she wasted no time discussing the love triangle between her The Kill collaborator and ex-boyfriend, Breezy, and a certain "Unapologetic" singer. "Honestly, all I want is happiness. There was a lot of dysfunction and negativity. I just want to be happy," says the 24-year-old. "I hope people can learn from my story. I want to be remembered as someone who remained positive through such a negative situation. Regardless of what you're put through or what is going on in your life, keep a positive spirit. That will help you get through it." As will wearing your hair as a shirt, evidently. (Us)

Customer Reviews
November 2015
More than 60 minutes ride on a natural stream, several minutes on a 1m deep river.
October 2015
Great tour - lots of fun.
August 2015
Our tour guide PEO was absolutely the best! The elephant trekking was incredible through a jungle in the river. The raft down the river was pretty cool to. PEO Even stopped in the village to show us what it was like to live with the locals. It was very informative and a wonderful experience. Romantic, unique, and a special experience - and we even made wonderful friends with another couple on their honeymoon from Canada.
August 2015
Great tour!
August 2015
Brilliant very helpful guide who really looked after us. The elephant sanctuary really seemed to look after the elephants, the show was great we bought the elephant's painting and my mahout was hilarious! Would definitely recommend it for all ages.
June 2015
This tour was wonderful!
April 2015
Simply brilliant - as with other tours we booked via Viatour - far exceeded our expections.
April 2015
Excellent tour. We had just a small group and everything was efficient from pick up right through the day. The Elephant trek was great along with the river rafting. One of the best trips I have completed in Thailand.
April 2015
Roong was a wonderful guide, explaining local customs, sights, and clearly explaining what was going to happen during the day. As an added bonus, Roong and our driver stopped at the Tiger Kingdom for about an hour to let us take pictures with the tigers.
The elephant trek was quite enjoyable and we did hike up the Ping river just like in the pictures on Viator. We spent only a few minutes in the hill tribe village. I would have preferred a few more minutes there to look at how they lived.
The river rafting tour took about an hour and was very relaxing. The kids took turns poling the raft down the river, which thrilled them. Fair warning: there's a lot of sun out on the river, so be sure to wear strong sunblock.
April 2015
Loved it!! would definitely recommend been one of holidays highlights

10 things you might not know about new Cowboys CB Terrance Mitchell
Photo: Brian Spurlock/Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
Growing up, the Sacramento-native was an Oakland Raiders fan. "It would be tight," Mitchell told The Oregonian ahead of the draft about the potential of going to Oakland. "I'd be out there with family, looking raw in that uniform. They've got the tightest uniforms." While the team attended an individual workout with Mitchell, Oakland passed on him seven picks before the Cowboys took him at 254th overall.

text: If you're used to Nikon's digital SLRs, the N80, F5, or F100 would be the best choices as they have the same basic control layout as the digital Nikons. If you prefer manual focus with traditional control layouts, the F3 or F4 are both good choices. The F4 has AF but it is not as good as the AF in the N80, F5, or F100. The N90 is popular because it has better AF than an F4 but is smaller, lighter, and a lot cheaper.

Yes, totally normal! The grunts and groans were so loud, I couldn't believe it when my daughter came home! Our nurse called them the 4 pound grunts and said they are very common in preemies. She eventually grew out of them, thankfully!

I agree . . . totally normal! We could not sleep at all when DD came home. She wouldn't do it when we laid her on us either. She did finally outgrow them also and it didn't really take too long. Good luck!!!

anyone know why they stop when laying on us?
�Forward facing, soda drinking liberal. never BF'd and I'm glad! You can sue me, but you'll have to get in line with everyone else�
My ped told me it was my son trying to have a BM, and because he was so small he's using his whole body, including his diagragm to push the poo, hence the noise. Do you lay him on your stomach on you? I found for awhile that really relaxed my son. Sometimes he would just get tummy time that was just letting him lay on his stomach supervised relaxing. Thats my theory of it anyway.

Hust a heads up - my LO did a lot of grunting and groaning and straining and the docs all assured me it was normal. However, he was getting increasingly constipated on Neosure. It turns out, my son had serious GERD that needed medication and also a Milk/Soy Protein Intolerance and needed a formula change right away. We are still riding this reflux rollercoaster. As long as he isn't constipated or having reflux problems you're probably okay.
The military is my husband's mistress, and sometimes that bitch gets all the attention!
no constipation no reflux, but he does it EVERYtime we put him down for the whole time. I dont think he poops that much
�Forward facing, soda drinking liberal. never BF'd and I'm glad! You can sue me, but you'll have to get in line with everyone else�
My LO grunts a lot too, and it's usually not when he's pooping. He does it as he falls asleep, and as he wakes up, and as I change his diaper....sometimes when he's just hanging out. He is three months now, and does it a little less as he's learning new sounds to make. I got video of it because it's actually kinda funny, when you know they're not really in pain. I guess it is a preemie thing. I laughed when I saw mamas post that their babies sounded like goats or dinosaurs or dolphins or squirrels. We're not alone! Actually if you look up "grunting baby" on YouTube you can see others who make the same noises!
Temma~ BFing, CDing, BWing, co-sleeping first time mom to Xavier, 4 pound 4 ounce 35 weeker, born 7/05/09.
The grunts are common for preemies, my son does it too...When he is gassy or constipated or trying to evacuate (i.e. his tummy is hurting for those reasons), he grunts extra-strong, especially in sleep...Intestines are lined with smooth muscles that push the refuse along by contractions. These contractions can be painful to a newborn and this is why they grunt. Muscles will relax when treated with heat (think of athletes), and this is also true of intestinal muscles like any other. When he is lying against you, your body heat relaxes his tummy and it hurts less -- ergo, he grunts less..
I have bought hand warmers that I place on my LOs tummy when he is hurting --- works like a charm...
From birth I have relied on You;�You brought me forth from my mother's womb.�I will ever praise You.�Psalm 71
Both my older DD and my baby DD preemies made these noises! She is very loud and tends to do this more than cry. Sometimes she stops when I pick her up to carry her as well. But I've done the same thing at night ; pick her up and lay her on my chest.
It doesn't last forever though - I seem to think no later than 3 months, once they get a bit bigger.
mom to two little preemies 2/06 & 8/09

About the show
For two decades, the Esquire Show Bar was known as the Mecca of Rhythm 'n & Blues in Montreal and was an absolute must for the stars of soul touring in North America. Sixteen artists will take the stage in an attempt to recreate the unique ambiance of the famous Stanley street nightclub and to bring back the unforgettable music.
Chosen among the most popular soul artists in Quebec are Elizabeth Blouin-Brathwaite, Michael Dozier, Leslie Alston, Andrew Leader and Jimmy Dooley, who is more than familiar with the Esquire Show Bar stage. These artists will be supported by four choristers-dancers who will be choreographed by Don Jordan. Seven musicians (three brasses) will compliment the group. The concept of this spectacular musical is brought to you by Michael Dozier and Michel Gaumont and directed by the latter. In addition, each act is complemented by images that evoke the era and history of the Esquire Show Bar, as well as the international artists that performed there in the past.
Press Review
« The show is a stunner. [...] With so many killer vocalists on stage. [...] Let's hope it never loses its wonderful, joyous
edge. »

Canada's Passport Photo Policy Gives Us a Reason to Smile
Byline: Burt Constable
Since you rarely see mad suicide bombers flashing their pearly whites in gregarious grins, Canada will ban smiles from all passport photos beginning Nov. 3.
Our neighbor to the north wants its citizenry to appear as bland as tundra. No smiles, no frowns, no impish grins, no arched eyebrows, no looks of wistful whimsy or exhilarating ecstasy. Each passport photo must show only a "neutral expression."
The thinking, espoused by the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization, is that people will be easier to recognize if they are impassive lumps.
Pshaw. If we surrender our right to an expressive ID photo, then the terrorists have won. Here in Illinois, we don't cotton to such Canadian capitulation. At the Illinois drivers' license facility in Schaumburg, a resident puts his mettle where his mouth is.
"We encourage them to smile," says manager Tom Bush, pointing to signs inviting applicants to "Look Here. Smile."
And if the sign isn't compelling enough, photographer John O'Connor of Palatine coaxes smiles from the crowd.
"Smile if you like," O'Connor, 60, tells one bored-looking woman. "It's your face."
Caught off guard, she snickers just in time for O'Connor to capture her Cheshire cat-like grin on the digital camera.
"Here you go, you're on 'Candid Camera,'" O'Connor tells a man whose face instantly broadens into a smile.
He wheedles a wide smile from an octogenarian using a walker by admonishing her that "there's no flirting with the youngsters," and assuring her that "you just have to look gorgeous, darlin.' "
"Don't pay any attention to that man behind the curtain," he tells another, playing off a famous scene in "The Wizard of Oz."
"This is fun," O'Connor says, adding that he prefers the driver's license photo booth over the oh-so-boring vision-test department. …

"In this brilliant book, David Agus introduces a whole new way of looking at illness and health. Taking a cue from physics, he views the body as a complex system and helps us see how everything from cancer to nutrition fits into one whole picture. The result is both a useful guide on how to stay healthy and a fascinating analysis of the latest in medical science."
--Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs
"Dr. David Agus has given us a remarkable peek into our health--and the impact will be profound. I've made it my mission in life to live strong and help others do the same. The End of Illness is one more empowering piece to the puzzle of knowing how to do just that. This book will prevent illness, revolutionize treatments, and lengthen people's lives. A tour de force in its delivery and message."
-- Lance Armstrong, 7-time Tour de France winner and Founder and Chairman, LIVESTRONG
"David Agus is one of America's great doctors and medical researchers, a man dedicated to improving the health of as many people as he can. Written in a style and format that will truly engage readers, The End of Illness presents a dramatic, new way of thinking about our own health—a way that could lead to greatly improving the quality of life for millions, starting right now."
-- Al Gore, 45th Vice President of the United States, Nobel Laureate in Peace, 2007
"As physician, research scientist, and friendly guide, Dr. Agus takes his readers on a fascinating tour of ideas and facts about health and illness. They will find many of those ideas to be unconventional and thought-provoking and many of the facts to be both striking and surprising. Read this book and you will very likely change at least some of your views on health and illness."
-- Murray Gell-Mann, PhD, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1969, and Distinguished Fellow and Cofounder of The Santa Fe Institute
"David Agus's The End of Illness is a brilliant blend of enlightening manifesto and practical how-to in the realm of our most important ingredient to a long and happy life: health. Filled with unorthodox ideas backed with hard science, it simplifies for the reader the complexity of vital developments happening in medicine today and teaches us how to make the most of what's available, as well as what's soon to come."
– Michael Dell, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Dell, Inc.
"Dr. David Agus is surfing the crest of two great waves of innovation -- in information technology and the life sciences. His End of Illness uses Big Data to decode the personal and molecular basis of disease. And, more important, advance a new model for health where prevention is key.
-- John Doerr, partner Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers
"David Agus, one of the nation's most innovative cancer doctors, shatters the myths about health and wellness and provides us with a handbook for living a long, healthy life."
-- Steve Case, Chairman of Revolution and The Case Foundation, co-founder America Online
"In this seminal book, Dr. David Agus presents a brilliant new model of health based on the body as a complex system with an emphasis on prevention. The End of Illness may reframe everything you thought you knew about health. It is both provocative and inspiring. Highly recommended."
-- Dean Ornish, MD founder and president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco
"Dr. David Agus has been disrupting medicine as we know it for his entire career. Now, he brings his ideas out of the lab and exam room and into the lives of everyone—showing us how to live long, healthy, disease-free lives. Reading this book is the best thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones. A monumental work that will change your life."
-- Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, salesforce.com
David Agus is one of the great medical thinkers of our age. "The End of Illness" reframes the entire discussion of sickness and health. Instead of thinking about disease Agus thinks about the system that is the human body, and what we need to do to guide it toward health. Before you take your next vitamin, read this book.
— Danny Hillis, PhD, Co-founder, Applied Minds and Thinking Machines
"What you will find in this book are clear and compelling reasons to be more pro-active about your health. The sections explaining physiology and the latest medical findings are very good, and are far more persuasive than the usual lectures we are given about all our bad habits. To misquote the Hippocratic Oath, 'First do no harm.' It will do you no harm to dream of the end of illness, but until that time, it might just do you some good to follow Agus's eminently sensible advice."
—The Globe and Mail
David B. Agus, MD, author of the New York Times and international bestsellers The End of Illness and A Short Guide to a Long Life, is a professor of medicine and engineering at the University of Southern California and heads USC's Westside Cancer Center and the Center for Applied Molecular Medicine. He is one of the world's leading cancer doctors and pioneering biomedical researchers, and is a CBS News contributor. He lives in Beverly Hills, California.See all Product Description
