17 month old doesn't talk at all!!
My daughter is 17 mths and says "da" for just about everything. She doesn't even say "mama" yet, or anything else unless prompted. She does understand what we say, like when we ask her to do something or pick up something, she does it with nonvisual cues. I'm very worried. I just want a simple "mama"! She babbles a lot and sometimes holds "conversations" with us in her own language. I don't think she has a hearing problem (she hears things before I do!) and I don't think it's autism. I just don't know what to think! I feel so alone. HELP!

Don't worry your not alone. My daughter is also 17 months and says Da da for just about everything. I friends who are the same age as her and also do the same thing. I think as mothers we get caught up on reading all of the milestones, I just read one that says children at 18 months should have a 20 word vocabulary, every mother I have talked to said that is pretty ridiculous. So don't worry, she'll get there, perhaps she is just a really good listener!posted 01/13/2008 by Mleeh3
My son is also 17 months and has not said anything. i never worried because all of the parents i asked said things like "dont worry he will talk when he is ready" and "my kid did not talk until he was 3" and "some kids are just late". But when i ask my ped he has been pushing since my son was 12 months old to take him to speech therapy. the doc said that they should be talking by at the latest 18 months. Now i am starting to get worried, and with his 18 month check up just around the corner i am wondering if i should take him or get yelled at by the doc. in my heart i dont think there is anything wrong with my son and i tend to believe mothers who have gone through this. i just think that docs always want to find a medical reason all the time instead of just waiting it out.posted 02/07/2012 by ericakent52507
My 17 month old too just says, "da da da da", "uhhhhh", and "cah(car)". It indeed stresses me out, because my 4 year old was holding conversations at 17 months, so they are VERY different. Your daughter is not the only one out there not speaking. I wish I had some advice for you, but I don't. I can certainly relate though.posted 06/14/2011 by Pittsburgh_Wifey
My son doesn't talk much and he is 17 mo. My 2 other kids were talking sentences at this age and I am very worried! I am taking him to the ped tomorrow because something just doesn't seem right! we have done everything we can think of to get him to talk but no luck. But it sounds like this may be normal for kids his age.posted 01/30/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
As long as she seems normal cognitively (sounds like it, from what you describe) she probably just doesn't have much reason to talk, and I wouldn't worry too much. You're not alone! My 18 mo old is the same way. He understands language, but doesn't use it. His pedi suggested we just encourage talking with high-interest things ("Want a balloon? Say balloon!") and don't reward the child with it until they make some effort to say the word. But overall, trust your instincts and don't worry! Sounds to me like you know deep down there isn't much wrong with your child. As long as you are doing plenty of talking and labeling at home, the language will just explode at some point and you'll be wishing she didn't have such a big vocabulary, LOL. Oh, and by the way, a friend whose kids talked late suggested both a toy microphone and bubbles (something of high-interest) and said they worked wonders for her kids. Good luck!posted 07/26/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Listen... my daughter lillian is now 26 months old and she just started speaking two and three word phrases at age 2. She sd simple words around your daughters same age, but just kept on babbling... I was so concerned that me and my husband started writing down every word she said on a list to see really how many words she knew. She has always been a smart cookie. she was always a problem solver getting into things. LOL. I even brought it up to the doctor because people kept saying things. Turns out my daughter learned on her own and at her own pace, and everyday she gets smarter and picks up new words, so my advise is to give it some time. Babbiling is the first step to saying full sentances, so she's on the right track. God made your daughter perfect just like mine and everything is gonna turn out fine! So stop worring mom. they really do learn on there own. If your really worried have her hearing checked my mom did when I was a baby. They fixed me and I learned my abc's in 2 weeks.posted 04/17/2008 by Fighterchick86
You're not alone. My son is 17 mths and is the same way. No hearing problems. He's a smart little thing. Understands commmands, remembers things, is very inquisitive about everything. We go for his 18 mth check-up next month - we'll see what the ped says.posted 09/15/2008 by susiqued
It bugs me when moms say, "oh my child is the same age and doesn't talk either. He only says mama, dada, ball, up, choo choo, wawa, and mummy's for food" .......... Um, hello! THAT IS TALKING! My kid is 17 months and babbles all the time, is very interactive and affectionate and curious but hasn't so much said ONE intentional sounding word. What I don't like is that all the specialists and intervention therapists who have assessed him agree that, while he checks out cognitively & social/emotionally, his language is now delayed BUT no one will approve services until he is 2 years old. Great. Thanks. I am a walking circus act trying to develop his language- I even play NPR on low while he sleeps! There is not one moment that I let his ears rest! So frustrating....posted 01/16/2016 by a BabyCenter Member
My son is also not talking. He does seem to adress my husband as,"Hey dad!" but has only done so a few ti.es in a few months. After overhearing my sister-in-law explaining to her son's girlfriend about how," some kids are just slow and that doesn't mean anything is wrong the just do things later than most," I began to worry. I thought my son was just right on the later end of normal! So then I became paranoid and have anxiously awaited my son's first words to become a regular thing. Now having found a place where this seems normal, my worries have eased some. Needless to say, I'm not having anything to do with the negative family member anymore.posted 01/20/2015 by amberbeth82
Just a follow up from my previous post a few years ago. Mine is now 5 and will not SHUT UP. Somewhere after his second birthday he started talking and seriously hasn't stopped since. Go with your gut and don't let the pedi freak you out. And don't ever bother comparing to other kids...that's a benchmark with a wide variable. Just talk to your child and keep talking :)posted 03/26/2014 by helkiah

It is possible to make delicious cookies using whole food ingredients. Shocking, we know. But definitely doable.
We used grain-sweetened chocolate chips by SunSpire which we purchased at Whole Foods. For a store near you that sells these chocolate chips, simply visit the SunSpire web site. Note that this makes a small batch of cookies for 2 reasons:
1) They are higher in fat and calories than most of our recipes, so we didn't want to have a huge batch sitting around the house.
2) These things are addictive. Given the chance, we most definitely WOULD eat an entire, huge batch. So best to be safe and make a small one. Don't you think?
Yields: 8 cookies | Serving Size: 1 Cookie | Calories: 130 | Total Fat: 8 gm | Saturated Fats: 2 gm | Trans Fats: 0 gm | Cholesterol: 0 mg | Sodium: 1 mg | Carbohydrates: 16 gm | Dietary Fiber: 2 gm | Sugars: 12 gm | Protein: 3 gm | SmartPoints: 6 |
- 2/3 cup almonds
- 1/3 cup cooked oatmeal
- 3 tbsp. agave or honey
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup grain sweetened chocolate chips (or dairy free chips)
- Note: If you don't want to use the chocolate chips, they could be very easily substituted with raisins, nuts or dried fruits of any kind.
Food processor
Large mixing bowl
PREHEAT: 325 degrees F.
Mix everything except the chocolate chips in the food processor. You should have a nice wet, sticky dough when you're done.
Using your spatula, scrape dough into your mixing bowl and mix in chocolate chips.
Spoon onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes

Tricky Shopping: When Extra Safety Measure Becomes Security Breach
What can happen when you send your banking information to the support department after the transaction, to "secure your payment?" Nothing good, as a friend of mine recently discovered while shopping online. This is a complicated story we both tried to untangle to send out a warning about extra safety measures that may become a security breach.
It started with a couple of perfumes my tech-savvy friend wanted to buy online. He found a reputable US-based website that he already knew and made the purchase. Because the online shop didn't take orders abroad and he wasn't a US resident, he gave the address of a US-based friend who could have taken the perfumes.
In the meantime, the support department sent him an e-mail, allegedly to secure the transaction. He verified the origin of the e-mail to make sure it wasn't a phishing attempt and he saw it came from the shop where he bought the perfumes. It didn't seem strange, as online shops use different methods to prevent foreign scammers from shopping in the US with international cards.
The e-mail contained a document to be signed and filled with details such as his US address, the last four digits of the credit card number, the expiration date, and the Card Verification Value number.
When my friend discovered his bank account was empty, this transaction started to smell more like ID theft than jasmine and musk.
The bank helped him retrieve information about the fraudulent transaction he didn't make. He soon discovered almost 200 dollars were used by cyber-crooks to make payments on his behalf on people search engines.
These tools are used for identity theft and scams, as social engineers can find a lot of personal details about the people they target: phone numbers, email addresses, street names, court and property records, and other private information such as marital status. In this case, scammers used the search engine to gather information on 300 people, many of them members of the same family.
My friend knew he wasn't a victim of a Trojan attack that pilfered his banking details because scammers gave his US address when buying background reports on the people search engine. He had only given this address once, when buying the perfumes.
In theory, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard prevents the CVV's storage after a transaction, together with other sensitive authorization data. In practice, human leak may be the only explanation for such security breaches.
HotForSecurity contacted the perfume shop, but they didn't answer our request. We have also sent e-mails to various online retailers to enquire about their security. While most didn't comment, others said the security measures they take for international card holders are "confidential."
My friend's online shopping experience is not the only one with problems. Fortunately, his had a happy end, as he got his money back due to good collaboration with his bank. He is also now wearing one of those fine perfumes. Though he didn't give up online shopping because of a single bad experience, he did learn to be more careful.
Here are some tips and tricks that you might find useful when shopping on the Internet:
1. Be careful with fake shops, online stores and bogus payment services. Some scammers go so far as to create a good-looking website from scratch and register it for a longer period to fool users into believing that they are authentic.
2. Check your financial information regularly, and especially before and after an online transaction, to see if anything is out of place.
3. Avoid shopping from a Wi-Fi hotspot. A Bitdefender study revealed 85% of people choose to connect to a free Wi-Fi, despite clear warnings that their data can be viewed and accessed by a third party.
4. Keep your antivirus up-to-date to block live fraudulent and phishing web sites that try to steal your personal information. Don't hesitate to use extra-features in your security solution. Bitdefender Wallet, for instance, offers secure password management and remembers login credentials. For a private online banking and shopping experience, our users are also protected by Bitdefender Safepay, a free desktop app that features a secure, hacker-proof browser.
5. Before shopping online, make sure you enter the web page manually in the browser to avoid giving sensitive information to copycat sites. Check that the address starts with "https://" instead of "http."
6. When the transaction is complete and you still receive e-mails from the online shop or support department, ask for extra information about their alleged security measure.
7. Don't give away your PIN instead of your CVV number. The Card Verification Value represents a 3 or 4 digit number on the back of your credit or debit card. Most online merchants request it to be sure you are the authentic account holder.
8. If you are still worried about your money while on-line, you can also check this HotForSecurity article.

Wauwatosa West couldn't have started any faster Friday night against visiting Pewaukee, and it appeared as if the Trojans' dream start to the 2012 season would continue.
Then, a key coaching decision by the Pirates brought all of that to a halt.
As a result the Trojans dropped a 27-6 game and fell into a second-place tie with Greendale. Despite the loss, the Trojans still had some positives to take away, notably hanging around with one of the area's top teams. Now 4-1, Tosa West remains just one win away from a playoff berth.
Quick, early score
On the first possession of the game, the Trojans started from their own 30-yard line. Two plays later, they were up 6-0. On the first play from scrimmage, senior running back Mickey Morgan scampered 58 yards up the sideline. Junior running back Jameson Brock followed Morgan's big play by running the ball in from 12 yards out.
In response, Pewaukee senior linebacker Doug Devoe was moved to the outside to stop the perimeter attack of the Trojans, and it worked well.
The Trojans had collected 70 yards of offense on their first possession. But they gained just another 70 the rest of the way.
"They were running rocket and they had trips, so they moved me outside so I could condense it and slow down so we can all break down and make the tackle," said Devoe.
Leading just 14-6 at the half, the Pirates knew they had to come out on the first possession of the second half and make a statement. They did, to the tune of a 17-play, 67-yard drive lasting 6 minutes, 19 seconds that senior quarterback T.J. Watt capped off with a 1-yard sneak to give the Pirates a 21-6 lead.
Putting the game away
With just under eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, junior running back Ryan Stepanovich ran the ball in from 28 yards out to give the Pirates a 27-6 lead. Stepanovich had a solid night, finishing the game with 150 yards rushing. As a team, the Pirates finished the game with 360 yards rushing.
"We did a lot of good things, we had some players really step up, we found a couple of ballplayers tonight but we did some poor things," said Trojans head coach Matt Good. "We just got to get better and preach to our kids to get better every game."
Pewaukee coach Justin Friske talked about his team's second-half adjustments.
"In the second half we were able to establish some things a little better and I think you saw what we hoped to be offensively in the second half a little bit more, minus the ridiculous offsides penalties and those things that are just inexcusable."
Pewaukee (5-0) had 10 penalties total, including three personal fouls.

"Once Upon a Time" season 3, episode 20 is titled "Kansas" and it turns out that Dorothy will finally make an appearance. Since other characters from Oz have arrived on the show, it was speculated by fans for months that Dorothy would also be visiting the small screen. So what can viewers expect from Dorothy on "OUAT?" On April 27, KSiteTV posted some interesting information about the new character and the episode "Kansas."
A sneak peek of next Sunday's episode shows Mary Margaret about to give birth. She is in the hospital, but there seems to be a ruckus outside of her room. Noises come from above the ceiling and in the hallway, people collapse to the ground. This is obviously the work of Zelena, the Wicked Witch. Regina, dressed in a red suit, tries to block Zelena's path in the hospital, but her magic throws her to the ground. The Wicked Witch is on a mission and there is nothing but sheer determination in her eyes.
Rumple is also with Zelena and they charge into Mary Margaret's hospital room. By this time, she has delivered her baby and viewers can see a doctor passed out on the couch as Zelena comes for the child. David, who is not going to allow anyone near Mary Margaret or their child, turns around and pulls out a huge stick that glows green.
However, Zelena is prepared and in the blink of an eye the baby is in the Wicked Witch's arms. Naturally, Mary Margaret starts to panic. However, before she can get up to do anything, Zelena uses her magic that causes Mary Margaret to seize up, her entire body glowing green.
The next scene shows Glinda approaching a girl, who when asked for her name, says it is Dorothy. Another scene shows Dorothy telling Zelena that she doesn't want to hurt her. The Wicked Witch responds that Dorothy is unable to hurt her, then throws a handful of fire at her. Dorothy throws a pail of water right back at the witch and Zelena's face appears to be melting.
What do you think is going to happen on "Once Upon a Time" season 3, episode 20? Will Dorothy be able to defeat Zelena in the "Kansas" episode? Will this be the end of the villain or will she be back? Find out for yourself by tuning in to ABC on May 4.

Alabama Notes & Stats
The top-ranked and reigning NCAA Champion Crimson Tide is the top-seeded team in the 14-team Auburn Regional. The regional marks the 10th straight year that the Crimson Tide has reached the NCAA Regional's under head coach Jay Seawell, the longest consecutive streak in team history, and the 23rd overall appearance.
The 14-team regional features No. 2 seed Virginia Tech, No. 3 Texas, No. 4 Auburn, No. 5 New Mexico, No. 6 BYU, No. 7 Kennesaw State, No. 8 Colorado, No. 9 Louisville, No. 10 North Carolina Greensboro, No. 11 UC Davis, No. 12 Sam Houston State, No. 13 St. John's and No. 14 Alabama State.
The top five finishers at the NCAA Auburn Regional will advance to the NCAA Championships at Prairie Dunes Country Club on May 23-28 in Hutchinson, Kan.

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE ; 9 July 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440709-JWC-TC-01; CL 18: 118-119
[9 July 1844]
Dearest— your long amusing letter was a real godsend to me this morning—for my plight is very sad— Here am I transplanted to this beautiful house with "all that is pleasant in life"—even clever human speech—and incapable of getting the least good of it all from having caught a horrid cold—it is nothing for you to feel uneasy about only very painful for myself in the mean time— I feared that my sore—throat on Sunday was only a beginning and so it proved—in the afternoon there came face-ach in addition and considerable fever, and I had to retire to bed and foment with camomille flowers &c &c—yeseterday having breakfasted in bed I thought myself well enough to get up—and kept to my purpose of coming hither—both because I did not like to give Mrs Paulet the trouble of bringing the carriage to no purpose and because the closeness of the Maryland Street house was growing quite oppressive to me in my feverish state— So I wrapt myself excellently well up in innumerable shawls and cloaks and was conveyed away in spite of the remonstrances of my cousins— We picked up Geraldine at the railway—and her joy over me was quite enlivening, and Mrs Paulets sunshiney looks and cordial harum-scarum speech would have made me really quite happy for the time, had not my head ached and every bit of me been suffering from the increase of my cold—or perhaps it was not made worse by the drive but only running its natural course—
Thank Heaven they have not bored me with fuss— Mrs Paulet put a great fire in my room—had my bed aired with a warming pan and then ordered Geraldine to come away with her—for "she judged by herself that in the case I was in I would think it greatest kindness to be left alone." Nothing could be more judicious for the heat of my bed brought on some perspiration and the silence was the best of composing draughts— The pain in my head abated towards morning and finally I got to sleep— Geraldine brought me some tea in the morning with a demure air which was quite edifying—plainly Mrs Paulet had been lecturing her into it— I am up now and have dined for "thanks God" they dine here at half after two—and one DRESSES only once-a- day—viz: at first getting up. Miss Newton1 who with all her oddity seems a gentle good creature is going into Liverpool to seek some books—and will take this line still in time I hope for the evening post if not the mornings. I hope by keeping quite warm and going early to bed to be quite recovered tomorrow—for I really grudge being ill here—where I need nothing but tolerable wellness to enjoy myself for a few days very much— Bless you Dear and thank you again for your long letter to which I am "a-most ashamed"2 to send so poor a return— but what better can you expect from a woman streaming at the eyes and nose—and with iron-crown on her head— Every body sends love to you. Geraldine—is good just now upon my honour
Yours ever /
Jane Carlyle

Today, Stephanie Lamar, CDE, RD (certified diabetes educator and registered dietician) a offers up advice and sample snacks and meals for optimum maternity nutrition.

While pregnancy used to be an excuse to "eat for two," women now understand that the important part of eating while you are expecting is not the food quantity but the food quality. Pregnancy is not a time to overeat, but rather a time to maximize your good nutrition with smart and healthy food choices. Of particular importance are the nutrients folate, calcium, iron, and omega-3 fats.

Vista has a number of new features that optimize the way that your computer functions – especially in the area of power consumption. The new power plans, sleep mode and more intelligent management of hardware resources are some of these. However, there is one small problem that comes with this – if you leave your computer to perform a download, in many cases it just doesn't complete since Vista automatically puts the computer to sleep after a period of inactivity. This is especially true if you're downloading on a laptop and on battery.

This post actually started out as a comment on a Slashdot story about how the economic downturn is going to (negatively) impact free and open source software. As expected, the comments had a ton of ayes and nays – both sides having their merits. My thoughts about this are like this:
Although I do not foresee the end of OSS or even want it to happen, these are hard questions that not only contributors to OSS but also companies who rely upon them must think about seriously. What do you think?

Recently a fellow MVP, Omi, created a Firefox 3.0 extension called Paste-&-Go which allows users to copy a URL and paste it into the browser and have it open up automatically. You can download this excellent extension for Firefox here.
However, quite a few people asked for something like this in Internet Explorer. and I was surprised that many people are not really aware of the cool extensibility features of Internet Explorer called IE Browser Extensions. I had written an article for PCQuest quite a while back and also give a few "extensions" for IE for download at its forums. You can download a small set from here.
Sadly this above set does not really support pasting URLs from an external source – such as Notepad. Also, the Firefox extension only allows a single URL, while I wanted to do it for multiple URLs and open all of them up instantly. I posted on the MVP alias that I'd probably get around to writing the code during the upcoming Dussera holidays.
But I did manage getting 5 minutes free (while my son watched Disney's Chip-'n'-Dale) and that's basically how much time it took to go ahead and create a browser extension for Internet Explorer that does the above. You can set this up yourself too on Internet Explorer 5 or above (including the IE8 Beta 2).
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" defer>
clip = window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
UrlArray = clip.split("\n");
for(i=0; i<=UrlArray.length; i++)
window.open(UrlArray[i], "paste"+i);
Currently this doesn't open the URLs in different tabs – haven't figured that one out yet. If you know how, do leave me a note and I'll make the required change.

Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation Scheduler Service Authentication Bypass VulnerabilityTPTI-07-08: June 4th, 2007
Affected Vendors
Affected Products
Vulnerability DetailsThis vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the functionality exposed by the Storage Foundation for Windows Scheduler Service, VxSchedService.exe, which listens by default on TCP port 4888. During normal use an administrator may add schedules to be run using the management console which requires authentication. However, if an attacker connects directly to the scheduler service and issues the commands, there exists no validation of credentials.
The packet is parsed for requests as shown in the following snippet:
.text:01016720 mov eax, [ebp-80h] ; controlled buffer
.text:01016723 dec eax ;
.text:01016724 mov byte ptr [ebp-4], 1
.text:01016728 jz create_registry
.text:0101672E dec eax
.text:0101672F jz short delete_registry
.text:01016731 dec eax
.text:01016732 dec eax
.text:01016733 jz short modify_registry
A malicious attacker is able to add, modify, or delete registry values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Veritas\VxSvc\CurrentVersion\Schedules
which holds the schedules for snapshots. Each schedule has a PreScript and PostScript field which allow for arbitrary commands to be executed when the schedule is run. Modification or either of these fields will allow for remote code execution.
Vendor ResponseSymantec has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at:

The National Park Service is preparing a document for the planning and management of the Shenandoah National Park that will focus on the park's core purpose and significance, its most important resources and values, and its interpretive themes.
It is not a decision-making document and does not include actions or management strategies. Instead, it describes a shared understanding of what is most important about the park, according to a press release.
The document will reestablish the underlying guidance for future management and planning decisions for the park. Preparing the document is the first step for considering SNP's future planning and study needs, since many of the park's original planning documents are out dated.
Members of the public are invited to help identify the park's most pressing threats and its greatest opportunities. To submit feedback, go to http://parkplanning.nps.gov/shen by April 4.

On the recent early-morning episode of "Live Big with Ali Vincent" seen on Eastern Time at 1:35 a.m., Ali Vincent, the first female winner of "The Biggest Loser," started her new season with this episode.
At a starting weight of 234 pounds, she won it all in season five by losing a whopping 112 pounds and weighed in at 122. By watching each week and seeing Ali and her mother together, fans felt that they knew her. Now with her own show, the fans will truly get to know the real Ali as she battles the weight-loss journey that will continue forever.
When Ali is not traveling the country, helping others lose weight and live healthy lives, she lives in Spokane, Wash. Here she escapes the spotlight and recharge by connecting with family and friends. She showed viewers her refrigerator, with contents that make it easy for her to eat healthy, but she confessed that she was normal, as there was beer in her fridge. She is also a gadget collector and showed some fun items.
She has a small gym in her home with a treadmill among other items, but her best item in her gym is the full-size depiction of her before picture, when she weighed 234 pounds. Before she won the competition, she was a hair stylist, and several of her friends and family members, will not let her forget that, so she is the stylist for the family.
In her home office, it predominates with pink. When she and her mother joined the competition, they were given pink as their team color. At first, they were not thrilled, but since then, it has become a symbol of strength among women, so using that power, she believes she and her gender can do anything.
A viewer asked Ali how she can boost her energy, because she always feels drained. Ali replied, that she should eat every two to three hours, so make sure to get in all those vegetables and fruits to fuel your body.
On Ali's travels across the country as a television personality and motivational speaker, life can get pretty hectic on the road. Back home, she unwinds with pilates, at her sister Amber's pilates studio.
Another viewer asked what was the best oil to use for sautéed vegetables? Ali let her know that a tablespoon of olive oil is 120 calories, so by using a cooking spray, those calories can be better used elsewhere.
In Spokane, an annual race called Bloomdsay, is a 7.5-mile race for charity, but is an inspiration for all in the Spokane area to stay fit and healthy and enjoy life. Ali did not know about this race prior to her move from Arizona to Spokane, but now plans to run every year.
Ali went to a sushi class with her sister and nephew. Amber does not like fish, and finally got to try sushi for the first time.
Another question posed to Ali asked if she had any post and pre-workout meal suggestions? She stated that some kind of carbohydrate, like oatmeal in the morning or brown rice for lunch, then after the workout, some kind of protein, like a protein shake or chicken breast.
Another viewer asked how many calories she consumed in a day? Although Ali consumes around 2,000 calories a day, she recommends speaking with a nutritionist or doctor to find out exactly what is best for everyone. When she is trying to lose weight, she stays between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day.
At a family barbeque, she knows how easy it is to be out of control. However, her family knows that family gatherings are about family, not marathon eating and unhealthy foods on this episode of "Live Big with Ali Vincent."

Cynthia Lynn Penningroth
Cynthia Lynn Penningroth
Cynthia Lynn (Cindy) Penningroth died February 7, 2013, at Methodist Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.
A memorial service will be held at Plymouth United Church of Christ, 4126 Ingersoll Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa, on February 11, 2013, at 11 a.m.
Cindy (Petrak) was born in Iowa City, Iowa, to R. Paul and Kathy (Erwin) Penningroth August 12, 1962. She began school at Longfellow in Iowa City. Because of her father's tour of duty in the Army, she moved in rapid succession to Atlanta, Georgia, schools, then to the base school at Ft. Stewart, Georgia, and ended her sojourn at Johnson Elementary in Cedar Rapids. She returned finally to Iowa City and Lemme Elementary, and completed sixth grade at Kirkwood in Coralville, Iowa. Northwest Junior High followed, and Cindy completed her tour of the Iowa City Community Schools with graduation from West High in June, 1980. Along the way, she was a cheerleader, lettered in tennis, enjoyed her friends and managed her younger sisters, perhaps not always to their liking.
Having grown to love Iowa City and its culture, the
University of Iowa
was her first and only choice for college. As a university freshman, she was a member of the first Paideia program, a small learning community that offered freshman classes taught by senior faculty. She thoroughly enjoyed the knowledge and insights of James Van Allen, Miriam Gilbert, and David Schoenbaum, among others. Cindy was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority and served as its president. She graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Industrial Relations and Human Resources in June 1985.
Part of the first contingent of women to attain the position of sales representative for a major company, Cindy joined the Carnation Company, in due course becoming a territorial manager located in Phoenix, Arizona. She and William (Bill) Petrak were united in marriage July 11, 1986, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Iowa City. Following Bill's discharge from the Air Force and completion of his degree at
Arizona State University
, they returned to Iowa, settling in Des Moines. At that time, Cindy began a long career as a representative specializing in cancer research and treatment for several major drug companies.
Throughout her life, Cindy was a caretaker, concerned for the well-being of family and friends alike. She was admired, respected, and loved. She is survived by her mother, Kathy Penningroth and step-father, Lee Anderson of Oxford, Iowa; her father and step-mother, R. Paul and Terry Penningroth of Cedar Rapids; her husband, Bill of Urbandale; her two sons, Jacob and Nate; sisters, Ann Penningroth and her husband, Tom Kiefer of Alexandria, Virginia, Ellen Penningroth of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kathryn Penningroth of Madison, Wisconsin and Paige Penningroth of Chicago; a step-brother ,Cris Anderson and his wife, Karrie of Grimes, Iowa; half-sisters, Emily and Claire Penningroth of Iowa City and Cedar Rapids; sister-in-law, Ann Satterly and her husband, Kevin of Coralville and brother-in-law, Mike Petrak and his wife, Missy of Denver, Colorado; aunts, Kim Erwin of Waukee and Eileen Erwin of Columbus,Ohio; cousins, Elizabeth Kasson and George, Jonathan, James and Scott Erwin; eleven nieces and nephews; and eight grand-nieces and nephews; and her "sisters-in-common" the Greenwood girls.
She was preceded in death by her Penningroth and Erwin grandparents; her mother- and father-in-law, Melva and Dick Petrak, and her uncles, George and Jeff Erwin.

On March 1, 2012, the mayor of Barcelona and the CEO of Cisco announced the City Protocol, an agreement to launch a number of strategic initiatives aimed at advancing the city's objective of being a global reference model for sustainable urban development. The protocol itself remains nebulous, but one of the aims -- to create self-sufficient city blocks -- is taking shape.
The plan calls for creating blocks where consumers' energy needs are analyzed and compared with available alternatives in order to improve efficiencies. Another aim of the plan is to develop an energy use map for all of Barcelona based on these newly renovated blocks.
To kickstart the program, the city government allocated two empty blocks in two different districts, Nou Barris and Sant Martí. The second one is situated within the 22@Barcelona technology district, a 200-hectare planned "city within a city" focused on bringing together companies, research facilities, training centers, and other elements of a technology hub.
Each block has approximately 12,000 square meters of land, on which the city wants developers to renovate and build apartments, shops, and offices that are self-sufficient in their energy needs. The construction and renovations will include mixed-use buildings with roofs covered with solar panels, neighborhood shared-heating systems, water recycling, and the use of electric vehicles for services.
Below is a diagram of a proposed block. See the caption for translation of the Catalan labels.
In order to encourage people to buy electric vehicles, the blocks will have a shared parking facility that will come with charging units but will set aside no less than 20% of its spaces for electric vehicles.
To develop the program, the Barcelona city government, together with its technology partners, is taking the following actions:
These projects can't be realized without citizens' involvement. That's why Barcelona has sought the input of neighbors, shop owners, and local associations to develop its plan. Projects on both city blocks that conform to the plan are now under construction. When finished, they could serve as models for projects in Barcelona and other cities.

I used to love doing craft classes at school, and would also get craft kits as I was growing up. Cross stitch was one I got into, when a friend gave me a kit for Christmas one year, I had no idea at the time how to do it. But taught myself from a basic kit of a kite :) I love sewing, jewelery making, loomwork with beads, am going to give patchwork/quilting a go. There is just always something to try, and this website is so inspiring :)

Monday Victoria and Stitch will kiss at the gym, and she immediately apologizes. He says she's just human and stressed, but he tells her that if she can save her marriage she should try. Billy and Kelly talk at the park, and he apologizes for spilling the beans on their rendezvous.
Billy tells Kelly that Victoria is the only thing that matters to him. Kelly says that while they were together she forgot her pain, and it was a relief to be understood for a bit. She admits she knows they can't be friends after what happened, and Billy gives her a hug before he walks away. Stitch finds her at the park crying and he tries to console her, but she says what he did means there is no forgiveness.
When Victoria gets home she admits she kissed someone else, but says that was nothing compared to his sleeping with Kelly. They yell at one another for a bit, but that turns to a kiss and they end up sleeping together. Will these two be able to save their marriage after all?
Ian Ward may be locked up, but Dylan doesn't think it's over. He's determined to find out what the secret is that Ian referenced.

Why HR Outsourcing?

For many nature lovers and birdwatchers, the rare influx of snowy owls into Ohio this year is a stunning occurrence.
"It's been just outstanding," Jamey Emmert, of the wildlife division of The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said about large numbers of snowy owl sightings reported this winter.
Snowy owls are northern-born and typically reside in areas such as Northern Canada and the tundra of Siberia, occasionally traveling south in the winter to search for food.
According to Emmert, only a few snowy owl sightings are reported in Ohio each year.
However, since late November, the number of sightings has increased from the norm. So far, 124 different owls have been reported in the state.
It is largely because of this phenomenon that birdwatchers and photographers from across the state flocked this week to Lake Erie, where most of the sightings have been reported.
Dave Liggett, a photographer from Columbus, said he heard about the sightings online and immediately drove to the lake shore, hoping to get a glimpse of the bird.
"Within 10 minutes of being here, I saw my first snowy owl," Liggett said. "It's a rare thing for Ohio."
Other birdwatchers didn't have Liggett's initial luck.
Former school teacher and budding photographer Trish Hopkins said she went to multiple spots around Lake Erie before her efforts were rewarded with a sighting and a photo.
"Just looking into the owl's eyes … it's quite a spiritual experience for me," Hopkins said.
While the mass migration is exciting for biologist Jim McCormac, he can explain the phenomenon by looking at the birds' feeding patterns.
"Snowy owls are an irruptive species," McCormac said, meaning the population is known to increase abruptly in size. He added that every four years, the number of lemmings — snowy owls' main source of food in the north — increases in the summer and drastically decreases in the winter. When this happens, the owls will travel farther south than usual in the winter in search of more food. The result is a larger number of snowy owl sightings in northern Ohio and along the East Coast.
The owls will often stay around bodies of water to hunt ducks, McCormac said.
The sheer number of owl sightings — which has been increasing since November — most likely will continue to bring in bird-lovers until the owls migrate north again in the spring, according to McCormac.
"People love rarities," he said.

The Twelve Basic Rules of Humanitarian Aid
The relief agencies and Federal Ministries represented on the Humanitarian Aid Coordination Committee agreed on "Twelve Basic Rules of Humanitarian Aid Abroad" for their cooperation.
- Catastrophes, wars and crises cause people suffering which they cannot overcome by their own efforts. To alleviate such suffering is the objective of humanitarian aid.
- All people are entitled to humanitarian aid and humanitarian protection; moreover they must be granted the right to provide humanitarian aid and humanitarian protection.
- Aid and protection shall be provided irrespective of race, religion, nationality, political convictions or other distinguishing features. Humanitarian aid must not be made conditional on political or religious attitudes and must not promote these. The only criterion in setting priorities for aid shall be the suffering of the people.
- The relief organizations and the state agencies participating in the discussion group shall act on their own initiative according to their own guidelines and strategies for implementation.
- They shall respect the dignity of man in providing aid.
- They shall respect the laws and customs of the country concerned. If the efforts to provide the best possible aid collide with regulations in force in the recipient country, a solution to this conflict shall be sought bearing in mind the objective of humanitarian aid.
- They shall assist each other and cooperate in humanitarian aid measures as far as possible.
- Those providing aid shall be accountable to both the recipients of the aid and those whose donations and supplies they accept.
- Humanitarian aid is first and foremost aid for survival. It shall include self-help measures and shall help to reduce susceptibility to catastrophe. Where necessary, it shall take development needs into consideration.
- From the very beginning the organizations and state agencies active in humanitarian aid shall involve local partners in their planning and measures.
- The recipients shall also be involved in organizing and implementing the measures.
- Aid supplies must be used according to needs and should correspond to local standards; only the current emergency determines the selection and delivery of aid. In procuring aid supplies, priority must be given to purchasing them in the region hit by the catastrophe.

Gold's Big Rally Monday Helps to Entrench Its Recovery
Rod David
There is lots of extra room to absorb selling pressure.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Gold's rally Monday has created extra room to absorb selling pressure, which should prevent selling pressure from reversing momentum back down.
Dollar Basket
Sep Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Gapping up Monday was in-line with Friday's inside day having suggested a fresh low would recover. Filling the gap back to Friday's close could form a durable bottom.
Sep Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Friday's dip back toward 1.3333 extended down sharply by gapping down at Monday's open. The potential for extending the rally depends almost entirely on resuming it without delay.
Oct Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Monday's gap up essentially proved that Friday's narrow ranging was a Running Correction, which in turn proves the bullish pattern that has been developing. Pullbacks now should hold any test of 1330.50 to maintain the rally's momentum.
Sep Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Gapping up and extending sharply higher intraday Monday attacked the rally's 21.50 target to within almost a dime. The rally's momentum remains intact so long as 21.25 now holds as support.
30-year Treasury
Sep Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Fresh highs Monday testing 135-00 resistance were retraced back down toward 134-00. Closing any higher could have triggered a substantial detour before fulfilling fresh lows at 131-06, but back under 133-24 would signal that move underway, confirmed under 133-10.
Crude Oil
Sep Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
Friday's surge to 106.00 resistance did find buying pressure lacking just when it was needed most, so Monday's open dipped and its intraday probe above 106.50 failed. Back above 106.50 Tuesday would be credible for extending higher, but there is otherwise more vulnerability to another morning pullback.
Natural Gas
Sep Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Gapping up Monday to test Friday's high 3.32 high extended higher initially, but ultimately ranged sideways intraday. A second consecutive higher close would confirm momentum has reversed up.

Denim Workwear: Tips for Wearing Jeans at the Office
There's a certain irony to writing about wearing jeans with business clothes. Denim, after all, is 19th-century workers' garb: It was made for Gold Rush prospectors, not modern-day gold-fund portfolio managers.
But rules today are fuzzy at best, and history's greatest leaders of fashion — from Beau Brummell to the Duke of Windsor — always paired unexpected items together. One of the Duke's most famous rule smashings was pairing suede lace-ups with suits. Today it's considered ultra sophisticated, but at the time it was gauche bordering on scandalous.
So the first thing to consider when wearing jeans at the office is that it's not technically "correct."… Continue>>

Which collar fits me and my style best?
Choosing a collar style that befits you is an important aspect of your dress shirt selection. There are four basic types with multiple variations of each: straight, spread, tab and buttondown. While selecting your collar style is largely a matter of personal taste, there are a few things you should consider.
Straight collars are generally considered a conservative choice and at Paul Fredrick we offer a traditional (stitched at ¼" from edge of collar), European (edge-stitched) for a more European aesthetic, and the eyelet (available this fall). The eyelet collar is a classic style gaining in popularity today, facilitating the polished finish of a collar pin. Any of our straight collar styles tend to… Continue>>

From its ingredients and hiring practices to its environmental responsibility, design and community investment, Shake Shack's mission is to continually Stand for Something Good.
Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) is proud to announce it will bring Shake Shack to Baltimore, Maryland. The restaurant is slated to open in early 2015 and will be prominently located in the city's picturesque Inner Harbor at 400 East Pratt Street across from the iconic National Aquarium.
Shake Shack is a critically acclaimed, modern day "roadside" burger stand known for its 100% all-natural Angus beef burgers, delicious flat-top dogs, fresh-made frozen custard, craft beer and wine, and more. A fun and lively community gathering place with widespread appeal, over the past decade Shake Shack has earned a cult-like following around the world.
"Baltimore is a thriving city that's steeped in American history, food and culture. We feel fortunate to be joining this community, and we're excited to have found such a great Inner Harbor location," said Shake Shack CEO Randy Garutti. "The Baltimore Shack will also have outdoor seating to take in the views of the harbor while enjoying a ShackBurger, fresh-cut fries and hand-spun shake."
Like all Shacks, the Baltimore site will be constructed with recycled and sustainable materials, and feature energy-efficient kitchen equipment and lighting. Chairs and booths will be made from lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and tabletops will be made from reclaimed bowling alley lanes from Brooklyn's CounterEvolution.
Shake Shack is also excited to be debuting its new fresh fries at its two nearby Washington, DC, Shacks. Both locations will serve fresh cuts—currently available only at select locations— now available this week on Tuesday, 4/15 (Dupont Circle Shack, 1216 18th Street NW) and Wednesday, 4/16 (F Street Shack, 800 F Street NW). Hand-cut daily at the Shack, the new fries are never frozen, twice cooked, skin-on, Russet potatoes, resulting in a crispier, tastier fry that is always fresh. For more information, click here.
