hayden and yogurt.
However, yogurt can be messy and I don't do messy. I try to keep things as clean as possible (I realize this isn't necessarily a good thing, but it is what it is).
As soon as Hayden developed this love for yogurt, I found 'Yoplait's Thick & Creamy Yogurt'. This stuff is great for neat-freaks like me! It is so thick that it doesn't run off the spoon. It stays on the spoon until it reaches Hayden's mouth (and that is a great thing in my book).
A quirky thing about Hayden and his love for yogurt is the flavors he prefers. He doesn't do 'Strawberry' or 'Strawberry-Banana' or even 'Mixed Fruit'. No, my son's favorite flavors are 'Key Lime Pie', 'Orange Crème', and 'Lemon Meringue'.
And his most favorite flavor is -'Cherry Cobbler'. He loves it.During one memorable trip to our local Walmart, they were out of his beloved 'Cherry Cobbler' yogurt. Hayden started to cry. I kid you not. It was so sad.
Fortunately he got over it quickly – and we were able to resume our grocery shopping tear-free.
Note: The yogurt we get is the 'Light' variety only because the flavors he likes are only available in the 'Light' type – not because we are counting the amount of calories Hayden consumes.

Hayden has some great taste!! Those are my favorites as well. Yum.ReplyDelete
Haha Spencer is also a yogurt junkie! I loves YoBaby! He likes to look at the baby on the container and we like that it is organic, free of high fructose corn syrup, and high in DHA and Vitamin D! He eats so much that we asked hi doc if it was ok and doc said absolutely.ReplyDelete
I love Yoplait Red Velvet Cake flavor is yummmy:)
Agree with Lisa, the YoBaby is good. Also Breyers makes that Pooh/Cars/Toy Story yogurt that's thick and stays on the spoon you ought to try
That is cute! Sarah loves Blueberry and finally she has mastered somewhat getting it into her mouth without all of the mess!ReplyDelete
I hate messy too.
G loves the yogurt too but he wants to feed it to himself. which is a GREAT timeReplyDelete
Kids are so quirky! I've actually never seen those before. Although, Greek style yogurt has that thick texture and it's disturbing to me. :) How awesome that your son likes something that's actually good for him!ReplyDelete
I eat at least two Yoplait Light's a day myself...my favorite is Strawberry, but the Cherry Cobbler is very good as well!! I don't do milk, so I do yogurt to get in my calcium.ReplyDelete
I used to love those Yoplait Yogurts, and 2 of my favorite were the Key Lime & Lemon Meringue as well :) The Thick and Creamy Yogurt always had the texture of a pie or something. Very good!ReplyDelete
Kieran is almost 2, and when I give him yogurt, he thinks it's some kind of lotion. He rubs it ALL OVER any exposed skin. I kid you not.ReplyDelete
Yum! Grace only likes the Whips kind (Yoplait). Always has... she is a fan of the key lime and the lemon pie (something like that).ReplyDelete
My kids could live off of yogurt (and actually... some days Fynn really does!)ReplyDelete
I think it's great that he loves yogurt! My boys love it too, and I buy it for them often, however I'm not a big fan. Have you tried Moo tubes? My boys love those and you can freeze them and give them to him like Popsicles! :)ReplyDelete
OMG! I love the Thick & Creamy yogurt! My fave flavor is Cherry Cobbler and Cinnamon Bun. I hear they now have Red Velvet! I wish I could find it! If you see it gimme a shout!ReplyDelete
Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing
Maya loves yogurt, and I just recently found out that Ruby likes it too but it sure is a freaking MESS when she feeds herself. I will have to try the thick and creamy kind, but with her being only one I doubt she will stay clean. Maybe a little more clean. I'll take that.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the email this morning! I had to comment on this post, too, because I just posted a yogurt post on one of my blogs (The Chronicles of Miles) yesterday. I hate messy, too, but sometimes messy has to happen ;)ReplyDelete

Monday saw the news of the death of Frank Frazetta at the age of 82. Many others have written on it, which is perhaps more than anything a testament to the strength of his influence. For those in my generation and a few before, Frazetta has been a giant in the field. Modern fantasy art as we know it owes more to him than perhaps any other artist. In an era when the genre was even more ghettoized than it is now, his was illustration that resonated so powerfully that practically every genre illustrator since has had to deal with it. One way or another, a fantasy illustrator (at least, any American one) has had to arrive at Frazetta like a fork in road and decide--would you follow his path or not? Would you follow his path for a bit then jump the rails elsewhere? The Frazetta aesthetic had to be dealt with. But regardless of which way you went, you had to stop to admire it.
My own run-ins with Frank's work began with the Bantam Books collections of his art, back in elementary school in the 80s. I would flip through them at the local bookstore at the mall, partly titillated by the sexy women he painted, partly thrilled by the sheer power of his characters. Little did I know back then how much of the weight of this power was through his actual handling of the paint--itself a force to be reckoned with--all I knew was that these warriors were nearly crazed with might. I was too young to consider owning the books (plus, they might get me in trouble), neither did I have the allowance money for them. My brother bought some Frazetta-illustrated editions of Conan the Barbarian, still the definitive representation of this character in my mind. In fact, I happen to have a copy of the Frazetta-illustrated "Conan of Cimmeria" on my bedside table. I've long wanted to paint a scene out of it, which I first read maybe 6 years ago. I haven't done so, and the Frazetta cover on the front (and his body of work for that series) has kept me in utter fear of moving forward with it.
Here is where, if I but had access to them, I'd go and pull out a couple of copies I did of Frank's work as a student. In high school, I did at least one full pencil drawing of his (including the cover at left), in a sketchbook which tells of all my influences when I was young, featuring copies from all the luminaries of the late 80s. My first year of college, I took a portion of one of his Death Dealer covers and painted it 8x10" in oils, in my first usage of Liquin medium (the cropped image of Frank's original above). Such has been the effect of his work on me. In both cases it was a challenge to work against my own grain; the painted study particularly was fun to do.
Which is not to say that I've worshiped at the altar of Frazetta in my own work. I haven't, and I think that's probably obvious. I've enjoyed and respected his art, but I am not the "Man's Man" that Frank seemed to have been in his youth, and neither is my aesthetic driven in that direction. In this industry, the opinion of other illustrators regarding each others' work can often be broken down according to the Frank signpost: for those who have walked much distance down the path of Frazetta, the art of those who didn't is often seen as lacking. For those who walked the other way, the work of those who've hiked the path of Frazetta is often seen as imitation. It's very hard to stand on the shoulders of that giant and not simply follow. Which is not to say there is animosity between the two camps (usually), but it is to say that this industry has for a long time drawn lines based on his work. Such has been the effect of Frank on the industry.
I never had the chance to meet the man, nor to see a finished original in person (only sketches). I'm sad about both of those, the former because obviously I would've loved to have met him, the latter because I'm told his work in person is worlds better than it has reproduced, in large part because most of his work (until recently) was reproduced poorly in a bygone era of poorer printing standards. But also because the physicality of his paint-pushing has to be seen to be appreciated, by all accounts. I can certainly imagine so, and would love to reevaluate his work on the strength of the real deal.
Frazetta achieved the status of superstar in this genre, a status only a very small handful have reached since. As the progenitor of the modern genre, his work is also the first to break the million-dollar barrier for sale of an original. That is soon to be equaled and bested, no doubt. He spent his life married to the same woman and painted as long as he was able. When he lost use of his drawing hand, he started drawing with the other (with amazing results). If you haven't seen the documentary "Frazetta - Painting with Fire," it's high time you did.
On a sad note, his legacy in the short term is tarnished by an already-brewing estate battle among his children, which will hopefully not worsen now. His gallery, which I hoped to visit in the next year or two, is basically no more. I sincerely hope Frank's family will value his estate and the posterity of its images. It'd be wonderful to see Frank's work end up in our major institutional museums, and it no doubt will if his work gains a champion for the cause. Fantasy's representation in such venues has been sorely lacking since the Golden Age illustrators died. Frank's work is the next best hope for a reconsideration of the genre.
His work has affected me, has affected the industry, and can without a doubt affect the art establishment. I hope it does.

3 more with Andrew Garfield
1 'The Social Network' (2010). Andrew Garfield looks good in a Spidey suit, but he can do more than sling through city streets and defeat villains. Garfield earned raves as Eduardo Saverin, one of the founders of Facebook, who feels betrayed by Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and later sues him. The suit is settled out of court.
2 'Never Let Me Go' (2010). Romance and sci-fi meet head on in this disturbing, yet provocative film that didn't fare well at the box office. Catch it on DVD. Garfield, Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan play students at a boarding school who gradually realize their true purpose -- and it's not good. Not for them.
3 'Lions for Lambs' (2007). Garfield plays a privileged student in this treatise on politics and morality. Despite an all-star cast (Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, who also directs), the film slipped under the radar.

Jacob Seward hit an RBI single to score Johnathan Parker as Brother Martin-based Peake BMW slipped by the Crowley Millers 6-4 in 15 innings in the American Legion State tournament in Sulphur.
The win puts Peake BMW in the marquee game of the winners bracket against Jesuit-based Retif Oil, a 14-4 winner against the Hyuman Chiefs. Crowley will take on the Chiefs in the second elimination game.
Crowley tied the game at four in the seventh inning when Connor Goss hit a two-out single to bring in Pate Broussard.
At one point, Peake BMW held a 4-1 lead in the early stages of the game before Crowley started to climb back into contention.

Earlier today I posted an internal memo with a series of release dates for several upcoming Nintendo titles. On that sheet The Wonderful 101 was listed as July (tentative). The game could be coming a bit sooner than that though, as a German Nintendo site is reporting that it discovered the release date of June 6th for the game. There's no official confirmation on that information and European release dates are always different than US dates, but it's nice to know the game is on its way soon.
Anyone want to take bets on whether we'll see it in June or July?

HUGHESVILLE - After four robberies in a three-month period, the management and employees at the Uni-Mart on North Main Street are "relieved" that an arrest has been made in at least one of the holdups, according Jacqueline Neron, a co-manager at the store.
The ordeal of the holdups really left some of the store personnel "shaken," Neron said Saturday night.
"It has helped us a lot that they caught someone," Neron said.
It was learned for the first time Saturday that a masked man brandishing a knife also robbed a male clerk at the store about 12:30 a.m. on Feb. 2. Investigators never released information about that incident.
Neron was on duty Wednesday morning when a man wearing a Halloween mask and carrying a large knife entered the store about 7:30 a.m. and made his way to an office.
The bandit demanded money from Neron, but she refused.
"I was scared when he first walked in. I felt like my blood pressure dropped," Neron, who has worked for Uni-Mart for five years, said.
"He was holding the knife in such a way like he was showing it to me," not in a menacing way, Neron said.
"When I refused to give him the money, I didn't feel scared anymore. He then took off his mask and I screamed 'Did you seriously just take your mask off,'" Neron said.
The robber then "kind of freaked out," bolted to the front door, where he briefly struggled with a male employee who had been outside shoveling, Neron said.
The male employee, realizing the store was being robbed, blocked the door and tried to prevent the bandit from exiting, but the robber "rammed his way out, knocking the employee back," Neron said.
In about 40 minutes, state and area police arrested Jason Randall Spoeri, 29, at his home at 127 Lime Bluff Road, Wolf Township, about 2 miles from the store.
After allegedly robbing the store, Spoeri fled in a Subaru, police said. The male employee had recorded the car's license plate, which came back registered to a resident at the Lime Bluff Road address, police said.
Neron identified Spoeri as the alleged robber.
Police have not said if they knew what the motive was behind the holdup.
However, Neron said Saturday night that she would not be surprised if drugs turn out to be behind the robberies.
"I think the motive for these holdups is heroin. They want to get money to support their habit" she said.
Borough police have been working with state police in trying to solve the crimes.
In addition to the holdups on Wednesday and on Feb. 2, two others occurred, one on Jan. 22 and another on Dec. 4, Neron said. All the robberies were recorded on the store's video camera.
The bandit involved in last week's robberies and the one on Jan. 22 was wearing identical clothing, red pants and a gray jacket, Neron said.
State Trooper Paul McGee said that on the morning of Spoeri's arrest, police executed a search warrant at his home and "collected evidence that will be examined in connection with four previous robberies in the area."
As of Saturday night, Spoeri had been charged only with Wednesday's robbery. He remained jailed in the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Trials of renal artery stenting in patients with uncontrolled hypertension have shown few positive results of late, leaving many to conclude that a conservative, medical therapy approach is best. However, a new study published in the September 2012 issue of Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions suggests that renal stenting benefits patients with the most severe hypertension by providing a greater reduction in blood pressure than possible with even the most complex medical therapy.

7 Roasted Vegetable Recipes Your Family Will Loveaggieskitchen
Roasting vegetables is one of the simplest ways to get a great side dish on the table at dinner. Not only is there little effort involved when you're roasting vegetables, but it is an absolute delicious way to serve any kind of vegetable in my opinion. Most veggies will crisp up very nicely in a hot oven in little time, especially if cut down to a smaller size to help speed things up (like with potatoes).
Here are a 7 easy and delicious roasted vegetable recipes that your family will love!
Delicata Squash Rings 1 of 7Pass the fried onion rings and opt for these sweet oven roasted squash rings instead. Their natural fun shape makes them interesting and appealing for even picky eaters.
Make delicata squash rings
Curried Cauliflower Cracklins 2 of 7Introduce your family to the sweet fragrant flavor of curry. Cutting up the cauliflower into small "cracklins" before roasting turns this veggie into crunchy treat!

Garlic Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and Onions 3 of 7Skip the French fries and treat your family to these delicious roasted red potatoes. They are perfectly crisp on the outside with loads of flavor!

Lime Cumin Roasted Carrots 4 of 7Brighten up your everyday roasted carrots with a little citrus and spice. This dish would pair up nicely with grilled chicken or fish.

Oven Roasted Tomatoes 5 of 7Sweeten up grape or cherry tomatoes even more by roasting them. This beautiful and bright side vegetable dish will be hard to resist alongside Italian herb grilled chicken or over a simple dish of pasta with olive oil.

Roasted Asparagus 6 of 7Before you know it, spring will be here and you will be seeing asparagus all over the markets. Cook them up quickly any night of the week by roasting them in a little olive oil and lemon zest for a great healthy side dish.

Roasted Broccoli 7 of 7Convert your non-broccoli eaters by serving them roasted broccoli. These crispy oven roasted florets get even tastier with a little sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on top.

Here's an early and scarce perfume bottle and box from Watkins - Garda. The bottle is empty. It's in good condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines that I can see. The bottle has nice embossed design that is difficult to see in the photos. The box is not in great condition, having stains, edge wear, a split on a corner of the lid. It does have 4 one cent tax stamps on the bottom which I didn't show in the photos.

Advocacy Blog
In our last blog post, I forgot to mention an interesting fact- when GSUSA joined the national movement to end childhood obesity; they were joining forces with First Lady Michelle Obama herself! The keynote speaker on childhood obesity at the Partnership for Healthier America summit, at which GSUSUA pledged their support, was First Lady Michelle Obama.
The First Lady started her campaign to end the epidemic of childhood obesity, "Let's Move!" more than a year ago. She has worked to get many companies, including big names like Walmart, to pledge to support through increasing healthy options available, and implementing better labeling, so you know what is healthy and what isn't. Her "Let's Move" campaign even earned her an honorary mention in her husband's State of the Union address. Clearly, we're in good company as we join the fight to end childhood obesity. But more than just raising awareness, we need to lead by example too.
Let's move! Take action- not just through raising awareness in others, but through literally taking action ourselves- going outside!
How much do you exercise? Most adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days per week (Centers for Disease Control and Research), and for kids it's even more, 60 minutes of moderate exercise (Department of Health and Human Services).Do you like to hike? Or maybe ski in the upcoming winter? Whatever type of exercise you prefer, choose one and stick to it! Or choose several, and mix it up- memberships at a local gym give you lots of options, even in winter. Exercise doesn't have to be boring – if the more traditional forms aren't your thing, try Zumba, or kickboxing! Or just grab a soccer ball and play a pick up game with friends! When you make exercise fun, you don't even realize it IS exercise.
And remember, the 5 K race is coming up! If you need some motivation to stay healthy and in shape this winter, what better way!

I believe that space activities are impacting society through…
.... the use of earth orbiting satellites for earth observation, tele-communications and navigation.
Earth Observation satellites provide real-time observations of the actual environmental conditions on the surface of the earth. Such observations contribute considerably to an accurate knowledge of the environment as well as to the effective management of the natural resources.
Meteorological satellites continuously acquire data on the weather. Information on the weather conditions are used by the aviation industry to ensure safe flights for airline passengers.
Meteorological satelites enable early warnings to be given of approaching extreme weather conditions and can thus reduce considerably damages from natural disasters.
Communication satellites enable information to be exchanged almost instantaneously between different points on the earth. Live television transmissions and mobile telephones have contributed towards unifying the whole of humanity to operate as one single entity.
Navigation satellites provide very precise information on the the location of ships in the ocean, aircraft in the air and vehicles on land. Within a city, satellite navigation enables the driver of a vehicle to choose an optimal path to go from one point to another.

NEW YORK - Despite a frantic online push to the #VoteMorneau, Justin Morneau doesn't get the final National League All-Star roster spot. The former Twins first baseman is having a monster season and a career rebirth with the Rockies.
Chicago Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo got more votes so he'll be joining the All-Star game on Tuesday.
Rizzo and Chicago White Sox pitcher Chris Sale were voted by fans onto the rosters for Tuesday's All-Star game, and Los Angeles Angels shortstop Erick Aybar will replace Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon.
Rizzo received 8.8 million votes among the 52.5 million ballots and Sale 6.7 million, Major League Baseball said Thursday. Voting was conducted on MLB.com, team websites and Twitter.
MLB did not release voting totals for players other than the winners. The others on the AL ballot were all pitchers: Houston's Dallas Keuchel, Cleveland's Corey Kluber, the Angels' Garrett Richards and Detroit's Rick Porcello. The losing NL players were Morneau, Miami third baseman Casey McGehee, Washington third baseman Anthony Rendon and Atlanta outfielder Justin Upton.
Aybar joins fellow shortstops Derek Jeter and Alexei Ramirez on the AL roster. Gordon has been bothered by a sprained right wrist.
There was no immediate announcement on a replacement for St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina, who is to have surgery Friday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb and is likely to be sidelined for at least eight weeks.

THE African National Congress (ANC) in the Eastern Cape has discovered that some of the 180,000 people on its books are "ghost members" created by gatekeepers who want to control branches and influence the party's December conference.
The ANC considers branches to be its most important structures. But its leadership battle, which is intensifying as branches begin nominating leaders for election at its conference, has exposed floutings of its rules.
Eastern Cape ANC secretary Oscar Mabuyane said this week that some people on the party's books were not even aware that they were members.
The ANC discovered that databases from public and private institutions had been used to get people's details. ANC membership forms were filled in using that information, and signatures were faked or marked with an "X".
The people who faked the membership forms deposited a R12 joining fee directly into the ANC's bank account, so the ghost members could be deemed to be in "good standing".
Some members absconded with the ANC membership lists recently, to prevent branches from meeting and nominating a new batch of leaders.
"If branch secretaries are not feeling comfortable about the branch general meeting, they decide not to allow the branches to sit — they run away with the material (membership registers)," Mr Mabuyane said.
"Foreign tendencies of gatekeeping" pointed to a weak ANC infrastructure in its heartland.
"People micromanage others, nudging them to manipulate the system," Mr Mabuyane said.
The power struggle has caused apathy among members, resulting in ANC structures in the Eastern Cape facing a serious quality deficit, and raising fears that these people will remain apathetic when the 2014 elections are held.
Mr Mabuyane said the existence of ghost members was discovered when the membership register was checked ahead of branch meetings to discuss issues related to Mangaung, and it was still being investigated.

Butterworth play has eye on Broadway as well
LONDON — Producer Sonia Friedman has confirmed that Jez Butterworth's hit play "Jerusalem," which starred Mark Rylance in its Royal Court debut earlier this summer, will transfer to London's West End in January with an eye toward Broadway.
The ambitious three-act play has been the subject of transfer talk since Ian Rickson's production bowed in July to superlative reviews. Centering on a morally dubious spinner of tall tales, played by Rylance, the rural tragicomedy is an oblique state-of-the-nation assessment set on the day of a Wiltshire county fair.
While no theater or dates have been announced, Friedman said the entire cast and creative team are onboard for the West End engagement. The Royal Court cast also included Mackenzie Crook, Tom Brooke, Alan David and Lucy Montgomery.
Friedman picked up consecutive Tonys for play revival this year for "The Norman Conquests" and in 2008 for "Boeing-Boeing," which also landed Rylance the award for lead actor in a play.
She also was lead producer on the Broadway transfer of Rickson's staging for the Royal Court of "The Seagull," starring Kristin Scott Thomas.

Police in Lancaster County said a man led them on a 3-mile chase Tuesday night.
Ephrata officers said while they searched for Michael Jason Carter, 36, about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 100 block of Hurst Drive he drove off, going to Route 272 and then Route 222.
Police said Carter's car hit an unmarked police car on Route 222 and continued the wrong way on the road before stopping. The chase reached speeds as high as 90 mph.
Carter then ran off, but officers caught up with him near the Stone Quarry Road overpass and took him to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, police said.
A 19-year-old woman, who is mentally challenged, was in the car.

Still Life With Bread Crumbs
By Anna Quindlen
Random House
252 pages, $26
Guests on Earth
By Lee Smith
Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
337 pages, $25.95
By Karen Brady
Women on their own – by circumstance, not choice – are at the heart of two intriguing new novels by veteran authors Anna Quindlen and Lee Smith.
Neither writer, alas, is at the top of her game here but both Quindlen's "Still Life with Bread Crumbs" and Smith's "Guests on Earth" have pockets of excellence, and provocative story lines – Quindlen's a telling yet witty tale for our times, Smith's a heartfelt piece of historical fiction.
It is "Guests on Earth" that purports, at first, to be the more interesting of the two, giving us a young narrator, Evalina Toussaint, who is sent, while still a child, to Highland Hospital, in Asheville, N.C. The year is 1937 and Highland – a well-known sanitorium for individuals with mental and nervous conditions – is also housing F. Scott Fitzgerald's talented, flamboyant and troubled wife, Zelda.
"It is far better to be dead than to be a princess in a tower, for you can never get out once they put you up there, you'll see," Mrs. Fitzgerald (as she is known in the book) tells Evalina. "You must live on the earth and mix with the hoi polloi."
Hers is a layered statement, under the circumstances, and is clearly based on one of Scott Fitzgerald's own. ("I used to wonder why they kept princesses in towers," he wrote to Zelda more than once during their courtship.)
Smith's title, "Guests on Earth," is from Scott Fitzgerald as well – and she includes this line (from a letter he wrote to his daughter Scottie in 1940) in the book: "The insane are always mere guests on earth, eternal strangers carrying around broken decalogues that they cannot read."
Sadly, though, and after a promising beginning, young Evalina's version of events at Highland begins to flag and becomes hard to follow – as the cast of patients changes and grows and their individual back stories become longer and longer. Even as Evalina herself leaves Highland, only to return as a young woman, her world view remains naïve, her narration still childlike. "Illness infantilizes everybody," she tells us in an incisive moment.
"The average person" she also says, "could never understand, I believe, how boring it is to be crazy – to be unable to live a regular life, unable to have a regular family or friends or a job, for instance, unable sometimes even to read or think or do anything except smoke, perhaps, on a veranda, staring into space. How wonderful it is, then, to make a cardboard hat, or a giant paper flower! To have, even for a moment, even if it's all make-believe, a happy childhood."
Placed in Highland by a stepfather who simply seemed to want her gone after her mother's death, Evalina never strikes us as ill. She paints Highland fondly – with staff who are nurturing and protective and treatment that is pleasant and healthy, stressing physical and artistic activity and balanced diet. But Highland also uses controversial insulin shock therapy, something that – like Zelda Fitzgerald – is viewed in "Guests on Earth" only occasionally and mainly from afar.
In fact, actual appearances of both Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald are blessedly few here – for these sad sightings (at least to this reader) are intrusive, as if we have every right to the Fitzgeralds' work and public life but no right at all to see and be with them at their lowest private moments, no right at all to read words Zelda may or may not have said or written at the height of her madness.
But Smith, we learn at the novel's end, had her reasons. Highland Hospital is a part of her story: "My father was a patient there in the fifties," she writes. "And I am especially grateful to Highland Hospital for the helpful years my son, Josh, spent there in the 1980s, in both inpatient and outpatient situations…"
Had Smith told us this before her novel's start, Evalina's journey may have seemed less tedious, and Smith's overly detailed portrayals of Highland's founder and his wife and others associated with the historic hospital (where Zelda Fitzgerald died in a fire in 1948) would have made perfect sense.
Unlike Smith's young Evalina, the protagonist of Quindlen's novel is a 60-year-old, once-famous photographer named Rebecca Winter – who is taking a financially prudent hiatus from her beloved Manhattan to live in a rickety cottage in the country where she is all but unknown.
"How did I wind up here?" Rebecca thinks early on as she finds herself alone in the dark and unable to discern the country night's strange sounds. "How on earth did I wind up here?"
It is a sentiment with which readers of a certain age will surely identify, advancing age in itself being a voyage to a new land. Quindlen, soon to embark upon her own seventh decade, has her hand firmly on that pulse here, and she is with Rebecca every step of her uncertain way.
It is a plodding way, however. For, while Quindlen can be masterful at surmise and description, she also can be deadly with details, letting Rebecca (who is divorced from an apparently insufferable Englishman) go on and on and off on tangents while elsewhere, out of sight, a stranger is planting white crosses and memorabilia; Rebecca's musician mother is playing an imaginary keyboard, day in and day out, in a nursing home; her nearly 90-year-old father is eking out his days with the family housekeeper, and a kind younger man, a country roofer, is waiting, so to speak, in the wings of the novel.
"Still Life with Bread Crumbs," we learn, is more than a cutesy name: It is also the title of Rebecca's photographic claim to fame – what she calls "a vaguely Flemish composition of dirty wineglasses, stacked plates, the torn ends of two baguettes, and a dish towel singed at one corner by the gas stove."
An iconic image in the art world and beyond, Rebecca would rather not have it be her swan song: Surely there is more – to her work, to her life: "People froze you in space," Rebecca sometimes thought … More important, you froze yourself, often into a person in whom you truly had no interest. So you had a choice: you could continue a masquerade, or you could give up on it."
Rebecca, of course, will give up on it – "Still Life with Bread Crumbs" being predictable almost from the start. But the book is also quite funny. (In one flashback, a younger Rebecca is introduced to her mother's friend: "The famous photographer?" the woman asks. "She's getting a divorce," Rebecca's mother answers.)
Quindlen also gives us a wonderful "city mouse" pull, between Rebecca's teeming Manhattan and her quiet country existence. Quindlen's depictions of both are splendid, and the Quindlen wit, a leit-motif throughout the book, almost saves the day.
But, in the end – and there is only action toward the end – it is a matter of Quindlen having something important to say but taking far too long to say it.

NORTH BERGEN -- A West New York man was arrested Thursday in connection with a fight at a North Bergen social club, police said.
Steven Noriega, 19, was arrested Thursday at North Bergen police headquarters after an investigation into a fight at the Wawa social hall on 51st Street on March 29, police said.
The victim in the fight, a 19-year-old North Bergen man, told police that he got into an argument with a man, later identified as Noriega. During the argument Noriega threw the man to the ground and kicked him in the face, police were told.
The victim sustained injuries to his face and teeth during the fight, police said.
Noriega was identified out of a lineup Thursday by the victim and was arrested, police said. Noriega was taken to Hudson County jail and his bail was set at $5,000.

As we say goodbye to 2013, let's resolve to bid adieu to the following social media blunders that annoyed many this past year.
1. LinkedIn endorsements. I can't even count the times someone I don't know endorsed me for a skill I don't have. A common one I received in 2013 was endorsements for "litigation" when I haven't practiced law since 2006—and, even when I did practice, I wasn't a litigator.
Many novice LinkedIn users don't realize they are annoying users by endorsing them; in fact, some may think they have no choice but to endorse users since LinkedIn displays the following screen encouraging them to endorse their connections (and, LinkedIn even recommends "skills" for endorsement). Please note that you can ignore this screen by clicking "Skip."
Moreover, many law firms find the endorsements problematic because of the potential legal ethics violations. As a result, many firms prohibit their lawyers from giving or displaying endorsements. While you can't opt out of receiving LinkedIn endorsements (maybe LinkedIn will change this in 2014), you can refrain from endorsing other lawyers and you can hide the endorsements you receive so they are not displayed on your LinkedIn profile.
2. Generic LinkedIn invitations. Throughout 2013, I received a significant number of LinkedIn invitations from people I did not know. I only accepted the invitations if the person included a note explaining why he or she wanted to connect or how we know each other. The generic LinkedIn invitation annoys many users—especially when they receive an invitation from someone they don't know. If we've never met and you want to connect with me, please provide some background on why I should connect. In a previous post, I outlined sample customized invitations you could send when you are connecting with someone you don't know.
3. Facebook profile pictures in a Graph Search world. Facebook launched its Graph Search in 2013. With Graph Search, potential employers or clients can search for "lawyers in Dallas" or "paralegals in Dallas" to find certain legal professionals in a specific market. With Graph Search, Facebook is also phasing out the privacy feature that allowed users to restrict who could find them through a Facebook search. Thus, every Facebook user is searchable. Your profile, however, can still be completely private if your settings are in place (for more info on how to check and control your privacy settings, click here). But, your profile picture is always visible to anyone so make sure it doesn't embarrass you if a potential employer or client discovered it. It doesn't need to be a professional picture—candid, casual photos are fine—just make sure it's PG.
Best wishes for a successful, social 2014!

|Release date(s)
|Master System
|Platform game
Sonic Chaos is a platform game for the Master System developed by Aspect and published and released by Sega in Europe on October 25, 1993. It was later released for the Game Gear in Japan on November 19, 1993 under the name Sonic & Tails (ソニック&テイルス Sonikku to Teirusu?), on November 23, 1993 in North America under simply Sonic Chaos and in Europe in November 1993 under the same name. It was the last platform based Sonic game released for the European Master System.
The Game Gear version was re-released in 2003 as a hidden game in Sonic Adventure DX for the GameCube and Windows and as an included game in Sonic Mega Collection Plus on the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. In 2009, the Master System version was released on the Virtual Console.
Sonic Chaos was the first 8-bit Sonic title to feature Tails as a playable character, and also the first in the series to allow the player to manually control his flight. A sequel, titled Sonic Triple Trouble, was released in 1994.
The storyline to Sonic Chaos revolves around Dr. Robotnik and his quest for world domination via the use of the mysterious Chaos Emeralds to create nuclear weapons and lasers (according to the North American instruction manual).
While out on an aimless adventure, Sonic and Tails hear a troubling rumor: word has it that Robotnik has returned to South Island in their absence and has managed to procure the Red Chaos Emerald. As a result of the theft, the other five Emeralds have been thrown off-balance, scattered to all ends of the island. Without the power of all six Chaos Emeralds, South Island and its residents will sink into the ocean. With no time to lose, Sonic and Tails head for ground zero to retrieve the stolen gem.
Overall, the gameplay is similar to previous 8-bit Sonic games, albeit players can now play as either Sonic or Tails. For the first time in the 8-bit series, both characters are able to perform the Spin Dash introduced in the 16-bit version of Sonic 2. By holding up and pressing buttons, Sonic can perform the Super Peel-out introduced in Sonic CD, while Tails is able to fly, this being the first game in which he can do so. While playing as Sonic, players can collect rocket boots which allow him to fly through the air for a short time. He is also able to enter Special Stages. Tails is slower than Sonic and can't enter Special Stages or use rocket boots, but he starts the game with more lives and continues.
Unlike previous 8-bit Sonic games, the Chaos Emeralds are mostly located in Special Stages available while playing as Sonic.[2] In order to enter a Special Stage, Sonic needs to collect 100 Rings in one act (the player also will be awarded an extra life for collecting 100 Rings). Successfully completing the Special Stage allows Sonic to collect a Chaos Emerald. Failing to complete the Special Stage will put Sonic to the next act, without the Emerald. Robotnik himself holds the sixth Chaos Emerald, and the player needs to beat him in order to win it back. Tails doesn't have the Emeralds as a concern for the player and beating the game yields the same ending, effectively making Tails an "Easy" mode. Zones: Turquoise Hill Zone, Gigalopolis Zone, Sleeping Egg Zone, Mecha Green Hill Zone, Aqua Planet Zone, Electric Egg Zone.
Sonic Chaos's stages were largely based on those of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. However, Aspect's growing experience with the handheld console allowed Sonic and Tails to move twice as quickly as they had in Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.[3]
In retrospect, in 2009, Ken Balough, Sega's associate brand manager, said that Sonic Chaos was "put in a bit of a situation" since a player seeing the 8 bit graphics after experiencing 16 bit graphics would make Sonic Chaos seem "a bit rough" to him or her. Balough added "visually and speedwise, it was just not as impressive as its Genesis brethren."[4]
The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly scored the game an 8.25 out of 10, commenting that it retains all the elements that made the 16-bit Sonic games fun. They also praised the graphics and the ability to play as Tails.[5]
However, the game was criticized for its lack of difficulty and short length. NintendoLife gave the game a 4 out of 10.
Sonic Chaos was awarded Best Game Gear Game of 1993 by Electronic Gaming Monthly.[6]

During the ceremony, Simpson shared the stage with cohost (and rumored former love interest Dane Cook) while her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, who was nominated for several awards, sat in the front row.
In fact, both Simpson and Lachey were nominated for choice hotties – and could have had to appear onstage together – but neither won in that category. Instead, Jessica Alba and Orlando Bloom took home those awards.
Before the ceremony, Simpson and Lachey managed to steer clear of each other on the red carpet, as well. Simpson, who made her appearance around 4:15 p.m., trotted around with her mom Tina and hairstylist Ken Paves, who shouted "We love you, Jessica!" behind her on the carpet.
Lachey, with only his publicist in tow, did not appear on the carpet until 45 minutes later – just minutes before the live broadcast began.
For More on the Teen Choice Awards
Once in the audience, Lachey sat front and center, next to Jessica Alba and her boyfriend Cash Warren, where he remained until he was presented with the choice love song award for his single, "What's Left of Me." During his acceptance, a clip from his music video ran, showing girlfriend Vanessa Minillo.
Onstage Lachey joked, "I just want to start about by saying ... awkward? A little bit." (Later Simpson won for choice breakout female star in a movie for The Dukes of Hazzard.)
Perfectly at ease, however, was the final presenter of the evening, the pregnant Britney Spears. Signature gum in mouth, she introduced her husband, Kevin Federline, who closed the night with a performance of his song, "Lose Control."
"This show has been very good to me and my career over the years. And I'm hoping that it will be as good to our next performer," said Spears.
And, with that, Federline appeared, sporting a loose white shirt and white hat and a an ensemble of high-stepping young dancers.
"I ain't here to brag," Federline rapped in a tough-guy style before his number – and the awards show itself – came to an end.

FA to investigate Rodgers' referee comments
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is being investigated over comments made about referee Lee Mason, the Football Association have confirmed.
The Northern Irishman labelled the performance of the match officials as "horrendous" as his charges fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Manchester City on Thursday.
Rodgers' was particularly disappointed with the decision to disallow a goal from winger Raheem Sterling with the score still at 0-0, with replays showing the England international was in an onside position.
The 40-year-old also felt Luis Suarez should have had a penalty in the closing stages after tangling with Joleon Lescott.
Speaking after the game, Rodgers questioned the appointment of Mason who was born in Bolton, saying: "Hopefully we won't have a Greater Manchester referee with Liverpool-Manchester games in future."
The governing body must now decide whether Rodgers' comments "question the referee's integrity or imply bias".
Liverpool dropped to third in the Premier League as a result of the setback at the Etihad Stadium, and face a difficult trip to Chelsea on Sunday.4 comments

city was lucky and brendan is just right. the whole world so it.
Nick Bagan replied on Permalink
The Sterling offside incident is after Liverpool have lead 1 goal scored by Coutinho. It should be 0-2 if the linesman didn't make that wrong decision and Liverpool dropped to fourth not third after that defeat. Did you see the match before write this article..????
Have started a new blog: cruyffsimplefootball.wordpress.com. 2 articles so far, one on AVB's time at Spurs, and one on how we overrate foreign coaches. Take a look, comment welcome...
It should be 0-2 if the linesman didn't make that wrong decision and Liverpool dropped to fourth not third after that defeat.

When LeBron James announced his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the rush on his old jerseys started immediately.
While James' Miami Heat jerseys hit the clearance racks, sales of his Cavaliers jerseys went through the roof. In fact, sales were so rampant that the NBA store no longer has James' Cavaliers replica jersey in stock, according to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com.

The @NBAStore says it has now sold out of LeBron replica Cavs home, away & alternate jerseys.
— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) July 20, 2014
This is quite the departure from the treatment given to James in his last go-around with free agency, when Cavaliers fans burned his jerseys in the street after he chose the Heat in 'The Decision.'
James previously said he regretted announcing the decision to leave his homestate of Ohio in that manner, and the thought of going back home remained in his mind through four years with the Heat.
Rumors of his return to Cleveland were rampant, so there was time for fans to prepare for the inevitable. And when he made it official, they all hit the stores.

"In celebrating Broklyn Beats' 5-Year Anniversary, we have launched a 12" series of reissues from our nascent stages combined with remixes and new material. Thus "Redux." Who better to start this off right than Jace Clayton, a.k.a. DJ /Rupture?! Jace Clayton began DJing and production in Boston in the late-Nineties. While living in New York en route to his residency in Spain, he teamed up with Broklyn for the "Si A Plomo Vives" remix featuring Puerto Rican MC Welmo and the best-selling "Rude Descending a Staircase" (sic) 7", both released in 2000. We present all three on "Redux", remastered and available on 12" for the first time. We were also blessed with a new DJ/Rupture track, "Sickle Cell". Here, Jace lays down a scorching thick beat akin to his work as Nettle. The live cello playing by Jenny Jones gives the track a heavy edge perfect for Djing. To finish the whole package off, we have a remix of "Descarriada" by Rotator of Rennes, France. Rotator a.k.a. Frank Tavakoli, runs Peace Off Records, a powerhouse of European breakcore."

Apparently April 14 is not just any other day. A long time ago, in a blogosphere far, far away, fellow NBA Bloguin brother, Don, from With-Malice deemed today, "Unsung Hero" day.
Here is how Don described it:
"April 14th: 'Unsung Player Day'… we should recognize the guys who toil and work hard every day, for no recognition. Well, today's your day. In reality, these guys are just as responsible for making the NBA what it is today – every team needs role-players, guys to come on and give that valuable 2-5 minutes. Without them, there is no NBA. I would encourage NBA bloggers to put up an 'unsung player' on their blog on April 14th. What's an 'Unsung Player'? A role player who gives his all in the 2-5 minutes he gets per game (try to be definitely under 10 minutes). Someone who doesn't get a lot of recognition…"
So without further adieu, here is our "Unsung Hero," Matt Bonner.
Sure he is such an easy target to poke fun. Awkward run, pale-white skin, cheesy grin and full of ginger awesomeness but when it comes down to it, he is a vital role player for the San Antonio Spurs.

"I was like, 'Any song – I don't care if it's a song that I don't like – I want to do it because Maroon 5 is dope,' " Rihanna told GMTV's Carla Romano in a recent interview.
The feeling is mutual, assured Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who collaborated with the sexy Barbados-born singer for the group's next single, "If I Never See Your Face Again."
"She's obviously beautiful and talented and amazing, and I just thought, 'Hey, there's really no better choice. ' "
Levine and his bandmates found the chemistry on set nearly overwhelming.
"I always find it hard to concentrate, so she doesn't make it any easier!" he said.
Rihanna also felt the vibes, she said. Asked to describe Levine in one word, she replied: "Hot!"

What Do Women Do Twice As Much Per Day As Men?
Question: The average woman does this about six times a day, while guys do it about half as much. What is it?
Question: The average woman does this about six times a day, while guys do it about half as much. What is it?
"It makes even less sense when you realize that being single is bad for your health."
My friend Kim made this statement during a heated group discussion about men and marriage a few weeks ago.
Turns out that old adage that says men think about sex every seven seconds isn't entirely true. In fact, it's way less — and while men do have lusty thoughts more often than women, the overall difference between them isn't as dramatic as you may think.
How did this trend and site escape me! Men in high heels, is it the new black? Really? Seriously ladies, if the man in your life arrived sporting heels, would you even take him seriously...
Two-thirds of the time it is the man who says "I love you" first in a relationship, according to a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The study also found that men start considering saying "I love you" an average of six weeks before women do.
According to researchers, the sperm counts of European and American men have been steadily falling over the last 50 years.
Scientists believe environmental factors are contributing this decline...
The dating website eHarmony.com recently surveyed their customers to find out what they were
looking for in the opposite sex and found that men and women roughly want the same thing from one another.
More after the jump.
Let's face it — all guys have strange or disgusting habits. You've all picked our noses or sneezed all over something or scratched your butts when you don't think that anyone is looking, but what's not OK is doing these things in public...

Would've thought a number of charges in there, would be to the capture of some pedophiles. Since they have captured some in the past on XBL.
Because crimnals are dumb
Xbox 360s have been used in the US to lure over a hundred crooks out of hiding and subsequently into the slammer.
Working jointly with the El Paso police, US Marshals led criminals to a crackdown location in Texas with the belief that they had won an Xbox 360.
Anyone stupid enough to come and claim their winnings was instead stuck in handcuffs and sent to prison, where the only Achievements they'll be unlocking are "performed sexual favours for cigarettes," and "fathered a pet mouse called Mr. Jingles."
According to police chief Richard Wiles, the sting resulted in 115 arrests and cleared 129 warrants. Most of the criminals were wanted on drug or violent crime charges.
Considering they were able to fall for the stunt, most them are probably wondering where their Xbox 360s are right now.

Nutter administration officials said Wednesday that they would seek an additional $90 million in property taxes in 2012-13 - but that it's not a tax hike.
The new revenue would be collected as the city switches to a system that values property based on the actual market price for tax purposes.
That change also would preserve tax hikes applied in each of the last two years, all of which had been billed as temporary.
Mayor Nutter, who will lay out details of the city's Actual Value Initiative in his budget address Thursday to City Council, argues that the switch to actual value merely will take into account the rise in overall property values since 2004, the last time any significant reassessment was done.

The two winners in a local cookoff will jump out of the proverbial frying pan Sunday and into the firing line for contest finale showdown.
Local chefs Teddy Bryant of the traveling Lloyd Taco Truck and DJ Cook of Sample restaurant in Allentown will compete in the Nickel City Firing Line Finale after emerging as the winners of two previous cooking matches. Each chef will have 45 minutes to prepare an entree from ingredients in a mystery basket and a dessert featuring a secret ingredient in under 20 minutes. The chef with the highest score will be named the 2012 Nickel City Firing Line Champion.
The contest will take place at 5:30 p.m. in Artisans Kitchens and Baths, 200 Amherst St. The event will feature WBFO radio personality Bert Gambini and chef Mike Andrzejewski of Seabar restaurant as hosts.
The guest judges include Buffalo News restaurant critic Andrew Z. Galarneau; Buffalo Spree restaurant critic Julia Burke and chef Steven Gedra, owner of Bistro Europa on Elmwood Avenue.
