Cheats and Walkthroughs
Cheats and Walkthroughs
Run the words 'Am I too old for video games?' in Google and you'll see a whole list of forlorn-sounding people pleading for answers on Yahoo! Answers, each hungrier for validation than the last. Six years ago, one chap said, "I want to buy myself a PSP or Nintendo DS but I'm afraid I'm too old to be playing video games because I'm twenty-five." Last month, a financially stable twenty-two year old confessed that he had told himself he would probably just stop liking them by twenty.
For many, video games are still a source of guilt, a masturbatory affliction that needs overcoming regardless of the fact that video games are now a multi-billion dollar industry that has been declared worthy of the rights accorded by the First Amendment. We've definitely come a long way but you still don't talk about video games if you want to get laid.
A Time to Level Up
CNN Contributor William J Bennett is a prime example of someone who sees video games as a part of the problem with our generation. The author of 'The Book of Man: Readings on the Path of Manhood', Bennett was the U.S Secretary of Education from 1985 to 1988 and the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy Under President George H.W Bush.
In an article entitled 'Why Men Are In Trouble?', Bennett observed that 'while women are graduating college and finding good jobs, too many men are not going to work, not getting married and not raising families.'.
"We may need to say to a number of our twenty-something men, "Get off the video games five hours a day, get yourself together, get a challenging job and get married." It's time for men to man up. "
But what about women that play games? Should they be held to the same standards? After all, a lot of us play games. I have proof. Better yet, I have statistics. Last year, The Entertainment Software Association reported that 42% of gamers out there are female, 29% of gamers are over the age of 50 and that there are more adult women playing games than there are adolescent male gamers. We're everywhere, Mr. Bennett and we're made of all sorts: precocious iPhone kids, middle-aged women obsessed with the latest Zynga clone, Wii fans, fetching young professional gamers. The list goes on. Sure, we're graduating from college and finding good jobs, but we're also playing a hell of a lot of video games as well.
And these days, women are also busy making them too. Amy Hennig headed the 150-person team responsible for the Uncharted franchise. Christine Love challenged the world with games like Digital: a Love Story and Analogue: A Hate Story. Kellee Santiago is the president of thatgamecompany and the producer of Journey. Kim Swift made Portal a reality. If women are truly becoming emancipated and are out there proving themselves better than their male counterparts and are growing progressively more immersed in the culture of video games, does this mean men are falling behind because they're not playing enough of them?
More importantly, does it mean that video games are not the problem?
My Gaming Generation
An anonymous source from the world of competitive Starcraft II laughed derisively when I asked if there was ever a time to put the video games away with the Legos. "I'm not ever going to stop playing games. I might stop playing them the way I do now, where they not only consume a very large part of my time but also a very large part of my thoughts. But I'm not going to stop."
"My 40+ masseuse and I bonded over Star Wars: The Old Republic and she put it so well: "I can't quite keep up with all the young people playing, and I stick mostly to guild management and raiding, but the social contacts from gaming are incredible because not only will you meet so many different people but you have a hobby that is on-demand and fun to share with them."
She enthused, "Especially with E-sports being on the rise, I personally will try to stay involved in the scene -- if not as a gamer, as a veteran of games. Growing out of games could be likened to growing out of football - you might not always be able to keep up with the kids, but there is so much more to it than just playing hardcore."
Not every advocate of gaming is someone in the industry. A research technician by day and a member of New York's subterranean dance culture by night, Chill teaches popping at the PMT dance studio on 14th Street Manhattan. "It's just like dance. People stay in it as long as their interest holds them in the face of other obligations and negative experiences. That argument of 'out-growing' it has more to do with the individual's experience and/or fatigue from the process."
Flippantly, the Inhumanoids Crew member commented. "Personally, I've been playing games since Pong and that light gun game that came with it in the 80's. In the last decade, I've made it a rule to not spend more than $300 on a console. I don't make money off playing games, so I'm following a self-made policy on how much to invest in it. Fun, however, is a necessary aspect of life for any healthy mind."
Jack Cayless, a London-based full-time comic artist and creator of Chimneyspeak concurred. " Too much of anything can be detrimental to a person's health whether it's mental or physical. Seems like we can't go a month without another tragic death because of too much gaming. But I think that stuff can be easily handled with just a touch of personal responsibility, y'know?"
"So I think gaming's as valid a past time as any other, if not more so for the social and interactive aspects, but sittin' on your arse for 15 hours while tryin' to grind levels is gonna be as detrimental to your health as sittin' on your arse for 15 hours doing anything else." He noted candidly.
"I wouldn't say that abandoning your method of leisure can be classified as 'growing up'. It's analogous to 'growing up' by stopping fishing, or playin' basketball. Same thing, really."
A Time For Action and Understanding
The problem here is branding.
Mass media is rife with negative portrayals of video games. Often depicted as unfortunates incapable of maintaining social lives, the term 'gamer' has become synonymous with the word 'loser'. Gamers inhabit their parents' basements. Gamers have no jobs. Gamers are physically unattractive and oblivious to the concept of personal hygiene. Gamers are terrorists.
It's no wonder the concept of gamer is difficult to understand, considering that it is still evolving. There are no precedents. Two generations ago, video games were a little more than a twinkle in someone's eye; blocky pixels powered by computers the size of a room. Our society has only just begun to grow accustomed to the presence of video games. We're still learning. We're still familiarizing ourselves with the idea that video games are a legitimate form of entertainment, that it isn't a passing fad steeped in problems. It doesn't help that human beings are such visual beings. What you see is what you get. And what is to be expected when we are constantly accosted by images of people dying from extended gaming sessions? What are our grandparents to believe when political figures declare war against violent video games?
Is it time to grow up and stop playing?
But it is time that we look beyond the stuff we see in the news and see gaming for what it is. Across the world, schoolteachers and soccer moms nurture virtual crops and play competitive Bejeweled. Corporate executives dabble with iPhone titles to pass the time. Children and working adults alike collect Nintendo DS street passes. Teenagers make a career out of their passions. However, these people are still largely invisible. Not everyone watches eSports on TV. Not everyone has learned to associate the idea of video games with the concept of healthy, functional adults.
But the voices of those who do understand are getting louder.

How much water should a 10 month old be getting?
How much water should a 10 month old be getting?
1st time mommy to lil D 2/19/11
I Would like to know also dd is almost 7months. I knw peeps will say they don't need it if you r nursing,but i feed her solids I feel she needs something to wash it down at the end. I am notgoing to nurse her a drink after a meal.
born 8lbs 12oz 21 inches
Left hospital after c/s 8lbs 6 oz
1 week old- 8lbs 6 oz
2 weeks old- 8lbs 11 oz
1 month- 9lbs 11 oz
2 months 8/2/11- 12lbs 5 oz
3 months- 14lbs even
4 months-16lbs even
6 months- 18lbs 6oz
8 months-21lbs on home scale
9 months-22lbs and 13 ouz
11 months- ?
12th months June 2
Can't believe I have made it 11 1/2 months of nursing!!
I usually gave a sippy of water with meals. She hardly drank any though. I nursed on demand so if after she ate and wanted to nurse I would let her. When she was 1 then I started letting her have the cup all day and she drank to thirst.
Proud mom of 2:
DD 5/2008 nursed for 3 years and 3 months.
DS born 8/2011 nursing like a champ
Sorry for the short responses...always, always, always NAK or holding a baby
I started giving water with meals at 6 months when we introduced solids. At 11 months he gets the sippy whenever he wants but he probably consumes maybe 3 oz all day. I figure it's ok because he nurses like 10 times a day still!
Mama to five beautiful kids- 9, 8, 3, 2 and currently nursing our new baby girl born 1/20/2013
"It should not be necessary to tell reasonably intelligent mammals to suckle and not dismember their neonates." ~Susan Blustein
It's true as long as you are nursing on demand there is no need for water. I didn't give my DD1 water till after 2. I only gave her breast milk when she was thirsty, it's considered a clear liquid.
Why wouldn't you nurse a 7 month old after a "meal" breast milk is still supposed to be their primary source of nutrition till 1. Foods are just practice till then.

I think the first outfit remix is perfection! It's by far my favorite...the jacket is just perfection. Oh, but can I just say how cool it is that you may or may not have been channeling Stevie Nicks in the cape/shawl remix--it's completely Stevie inspired, whether you meant to or not.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

but let's think... when obito "died", kakashi´s ninja way point of view changed furthermore obito last will was that kakashi protected Rin with his life so, it would make nonsense if kakashi killed Rin because "he had to do it"
I really liked it.The art was great and much symbolism in this chapter. The one thing that pissed me off was that huge plot hole about Kakashi's MS. so... 4.5/5
You know... i´ve always wondered about the rareness of obito´s mangekyou sharingan ability... kamui... i´ve wondered... madara, sasuke, itachi... all other presented mangekyou sharingan abilities to be susanoo, amateratsu, and tsukyomi... which i thought to be universal until obito´s shown his kamui without trace of ama, tsuky or susanoo... i´d also noticed something else but maybe this is just my perception... i was stunned by seeing this character of obito because it seemed to me that it has an essence soooo NON uchiha... uchiha tend to be full of revenge, death, hatred, sorrow, negativity... tetrical serious characters... while obito always showed a temper of warmth like "the will of fire" he wanted to become hokage like naruto... and i also think he´s the only uchiha who got his mangekyo really loosing his motivation to live: Rin... making a review sasuke awakened it killing itachi which was his goal... itachi did it killing his best friend, but still sasuke mas more important to him so he wasn´t that affected... madara did it because well xD he es a ****ing monster without feelings... but obito´s warmth was just "corrupted" and thats how he gained mangekyou... thats how he gained kamui... i think all this is amazing... i´d like to know exactly more about mangekou "science"
he is naruto... descendant of strong ninja who learns slowly... huge heart and kind of stupid with girls... extemely positive and with the greatest goal of hokage... in love with the cute female teammate who loves his other cool genius badass teammate... i am sure that when he speaks with naruto (thing that in this manga randonmly happens in the middle of a fight as if it was a starbucks meeting manga) things will be very interesting... i even think possible naruto can convince tobi from moon´s eye plan.....................It is also curious and ironic xD sasuke almost killed sakura with a chidori... just as kakashi killed Rin
Originally Posted by mushidama

all of you remember that nobody has awakened MS with chakra of senju hashirama on it and that's obviously what happened here remember that zetsu its made with hashiramas chakra or dna or whatever i think that is a really great chapter the most bloody and dark i've ever seen in naruto +100000000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bye the way all of bleach fans as well this week chapter f....n rockssss!!!!!!!!! this week trinity of manga really step up at his finnest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when did obito become a ninja genius who can use super advanced ninja moves with out training for them on pure instinct, come on kishi u can do better then that.
Yagura had to be mizukage as the ninja refer to themselves as bloody mist ninja seeing she started the bloody mist tournaments and we all know tobi controlled her to do this so that proves madara was the tobi that started akatski so he must have put together this whole situation it's simple plant rin in konaho to make sure obito his grandson was lead to him and gather info on the leaf than since she was a pawn anyway Have kakashi find out about her and he kills her just in time so obito could witness and unlock his ms .i think madara is the smartest ninja here cause it seems vast majority of Naruto universe has been manipulated by this old fart Madara is really a BoSS

Remember the swirl zetsu says let me fight for you to obito so obito has his skill and combined with the natural skill he has a it's plays out well the zetsu improves his skill that's how he will be able to fight manato
I'm guessing manato figures out rin probably have kakashi follow her to meet the mist ninja kill her and that's why tobi attacks manato later and hates konaho
I think when Obito says: "I will never acknowledge it!" He is talking about Rin dying. He can't accept that. That is why he will join Madara.
Originally Posted by Hinataofthehiddenleaf
I personally wish the new Naruto chapter had a little bit more detail about Rin's death. We now have a rough idea on why Kakashi might of killed Rin but its not very clear. We know the hidden mist ninja were after something that Rin either knew or possessed which resulted in her death, but it still didn't explain why Kakashi did it. I have two theories in my mind right now. The first theory is that Rin asked Kakashi to kill her because she knew she would only slow Kakashi down and she knew the ninja obtaining the secrets she held could result in the leaf's downfall. Kakashi refused, of course, and started up his Chadori to attempt to take out all the ninja. Rin jumps in front, taking the Chadori's blow on purpose, which results in her killing herself. This would also explain why Kakashi was crying when his hand was through her chest and why Kakashi dropped to his knees and repeated Rin's name before loosing consciousness. I believe that Rin didn't look surprised when he killed her but saddened knowing how much she was putting Kakashi through. She also probably said Kakashi's name as her last words because she wanted Kakashi to know that she was entrusting the secrets she held to him now. Another theory is that Kakashi snapped which resulted in the old him rebelling against the new him. He killed Rin not wanting to make the same mistake his father did, which was putting his teammates before the mission, but started crying after realizing how he made a huge mistake.
As for Kakashi not using MS until the Deidara fight I believe that Kakashi wasn't able to handle the MS like Obito was able too. This might also explain why he passed out after the MS was activated. I think he passed out because the MS was too much for him to handle and he didn't have enough chakra to control it. Now you might ask why Obito was able to handle it. We also have to take into consideration that he was using spiral zetsu for his temporary body. I think spiral zetsu and Obito's chakra were sort of combined temporarily which is why Obito was able to handle the MS (If this makes sense). I also think that Obito's rage fueled the MS as well which might of helped him control it. Why Kakashi didn't use MS when he first obtained it? Well, we all must remember that Kakashi used up a lot of chakra using the MS during the Deidara fight and he could only use it twice before declaring himself low on chakra. We also have to remember the time he used it during the Pain fight which resulted in his death because he didn't realize how much chakra it would take up ( when he used MS to warp the nail heading for Choji's father). I mean we have to realize that even now Kakashi hasn't fully mastered MS, and this is him as an adult, so I don't even want to know how using MS would of been like for Kakashi as a kid. Kakashi probably never used it as a kid because he didn't have the chakra to control it and would put him in a life or death situation using it. You'll probably ask why he used it during the Deidara fight then. Well, we also have to take into consideration that Naruto's life was in danger considering Sasori and Deidara were also after the nine-tailed fox at the time. Naruto was being reckless because he saw Gaara dead on the floor behind Sasori which resulted in him blindly following Deidara out of rage. Kakashi probably knew this and knew the only way to protect Naruto was use the MS despite not having it fully mastered. He was able to use the MS during the fight because he had probably trained a lot to help him use the MS without using up all his chakra or causing him to pass out.
hem.. its maybe true but its seems not like kakashi at all... he is the copycat ninja ... he was well known by friends and foe because of his intelligence and fighting skills. i think that the awaken of the MS in chapter 605 is just newly made by kishi without taking any facts from the previuos chapter..
as for using the MS during fighting the deidara .. i didnt agree that kakashi only using MS because naruto life in danger... if im not mistaken the fight with zabuza is more intense and dangerous.. because they cannot escape.. and naruto team still kids.. so if he already can use the MS.. i 100% convince that he would use it..
it is not like kakashi also who is genius to have problem in using MS as he was young.. he might using it once... becoz i see that kamui is like his special technique.. its silence and avoidable.. kakashi love using its after the deidara fights.. my opinions is that kakashi only notice he can use MS maybe when naruto went train with Jiraiya... so kishi miss this facts..
as for obito.. i didnt shocked me that he can control the MS.. because he is an uchiha.. but i only wondering .. why on earth that Tobi not using any mokuton jutsu now when fighting.. he might using zetsu ability to runs trough woods and earth.. but never using any mokuton jutsu... why?
Could someone explain one thing to me?
Obito is about to use his space time tech? But isn't that an MS technique? He spams that space time tech when his only using the normal sharingan.
I give it 3
i finally understand
Not a bad chap. But it's better to skip a few weeks and read couple of them at once
To the people complaining about obito´s burst of power and skill,just remenber that he was sort of blacked out and acted on instinct...
5 stars!
One epic moment in which Obito and Kakashi got their MS together, i called it.
not sayin i was first, but i called it :D
and it didn't take kakashi 10 to 15 years or whatsoever to master it.
we simply dindn't see him use it.
doesn't mean he couldn't have had it as some kind of last resort.
but it was not necessary from his point to activate it at any moment in the fights
before he revealed his MS to itachi/fighting akatsuki.
could be called arrogance, but i think he was sure to win without it,
so the revelation was pretty much delayed to us poor readers ;-)
and i think we didn't really see it in his fight agains itachi, coz
honestly i think that fight did not start for real before it was ended.
i think i remember itachi/kisame retreated.
and u dont show and perhaps overuse your best attack in the first clash.

Simple reason for why Tobi has not really used wood style, he was operating under Madara's name, who, for all the shonobi worlds knowledge, did not know wood style, so using it would have made people not beleive him to be Madara, and thus his manipulation of charectors and people would not of gone as planned. Pretty simple if you think about it.

Beating Breast Cancer
By Health Day
... people listen. But do women really have a beat on their own breast cancer odds?
A new survey says no.
Researchers questioned nearly 10-thousand women between the ages of 35 and 70 during mammogram appointments, All were asked to estimate their personal risk of developing breast cancer.
The vast majority...nearly 91-percent...missed the mark. 44-point-7 percent underestimated their risk. 45-point-9 percent overestimated. Just 9-point- 4 percent got it right.
The takeaway, according to the lead author of the study... Women need to know their breast cancer risk number the same way they know their blood pressure, cholesterol and BMI numbers. Improving women's understanding of their risk will help them make smart decisions about screening for the disease.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with news from today that can lead to healthy tomorrows.

The Dry Ridge City Council finally is back to full capacity.
Gov. Steve Beshear has appointed 47-year-old Jim Hendy as the sixth member of the council.
Hendy is filling the unexpired term of Jamie Webster, who turned in his resignation letter effective Oct. 1, 2011, for business and personal reasons.
Grave opening charges for the Williamstown Cemetery have increased by $50.
The Williamstown City Council unanimously approved increasing the fee from $525 to $575 at its meeting last week.
Council also approved a new fee of $675 for opening a grave on Sunday.
These charges were recommended by Mike and Dennis Stanley, who serve as supervisors of the cemetery located on Falmouth Street.
The City of Williamstown was awarded a $20,000 KaBOOM Playful City USA grant to install new playground equipment.
The grant comes in the form of $20,000 from KaBOOM with the playground equipment manufacturer donating an additional $6,000.
Ten thousand dollars in matching funds must come from the community as well.
To date, Kiwanis has donated $5,000 and the city has received commitments of $3,300, according to Mayor Rick Skinner.
Of concern to city council and residents were traffic, noise, property values, increases in crime and the impact of a travel center on other developments being discussed for Barnes Road, especially after the state completes the widening of Barnes Road.
There were several residents who spoke against the development, while no one from the audience spoke in favor of it.
The issue of expanded gaming in Kentucky appears to be dead, at least for now, after Senate Bill 151 was defeated 21-16 on Feb. 24 after a little over two hours of debate.
The measure fell a full seven votes short of the required 23 to send a constitutional amendment to voters in November.
Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, who sponsored the bill with Gov. Steve Beshear, said he wanted the voters to decide the issue.
Love's Truck Stop did not get a warm reception last week from the Williamstown City Council, neighbors to the proposed site and other merchants.
In a 3-2 vote with Councilman Glenn Caldwell absent, the city council rejected amending the city's zoning ordinance to allow the truck stop in a highway commercial zone.
The race to replace U.S. Congressman Geoff Davis, who will not run for re-election, is now even more crowded.
Two more Republican candidates filed on the Feb. 17 filing deadline for the 24-county 4th district seat, which includes Grant County.
Attorney Marc Carey of Sparta and building contractor Walter Christian Schumm of Crestwood will join five other Republicans for the May primary.
The Williamstown City Council met Tuesday night to hear from the proposed developers of a Love's Travel Center on Barnes Road and voted 3 -2 not to approve a text amendment that would allow the development in a highway commercial zone.
Some residents of the area were not pleased with the development.
When will the residents of Grant County see some dirt move on the Ark Encounter?
It could be awhile longer because financing for the project has not materialized as developers hoped it would.
No date has been set for a groundbreaking.
The Ark Encounter LLC did close on the final piece of property, known as the Finke property, needed for the project, which will encompass 800 acres.
The announcement that the Finke property, consisting of 550 acres, had been purchased was made on Feb. 15.
With the filing deadline extended several days, two Grant County residents have decided to become candidates in the upcoming election.
Republican Brian E. Linder of Dry Ridge filed for state representative of the 61st district, which includes Grant, Owen and part of Kenton County.
Linder is currently a magistrate with the Grant County Fiscal Court.
He joins Scott Bruce in the Republican primary race in May for the right to go against the Democratic primary winner in November.

Kellerman is not being cynical or prophetic, just reflective.
He is a child clinical psychologist who, several years ago, embarked on a highly successful career as a mystery novelist. He has written 14 novels and four nonfiction books. He was working on another novel in March 1998 when Mitchell Johnson and another student at a Jonesboro, Ark., middle school murdered four classmates and a teacher. He began researching child violence for an Op-Ed piece in USA Today, and continued to study it when Ballantine approached him to write a book on the subject. Last week, in the wake of the Columbine High shootings, Ballantine announced that it will release Kellerman's "Savage Spawn: Reflections on Violent Children" in early May.
For Kellerman, the answers to why kids kill lay not in politically juicy fixes such as media violence, but in the murkier and more complex realm where psychology, biology and society collide and, in a few particular cases, explode. Kellerman, who is a clinical professor of pediatrics and psychology at the USC School of Medicine, spoke with Jewish Journal Managing Editor Rob Eshman by phone from his home in Beverly Hills. His comments are excerpted below:
Jewish Journal:
Why Littleton?
Jonathan Kellerman:
Everybody's talking about the same things: media violence, guns -- the latter of which is probably important; the former of which isn't. But nobody is talking about psychopathology. And the truth of the matter is that these acts are carried out by disturbed people. They're not carried out by the 99.9 percent of us who are essentially psychologically normal. This does not happen to normal kids. There are no surprises here. These children do not go from perfect angels to homicidal maniacs in one fell swoop. These seeds are planted extremely early, and they manifest themselves as early as age 3, 4. The warning signs are there for years and years.
What about the influence of violent media?
We're confusing correlation with causation. Just because something is associated with something else doesn't mean it causes it. There are about a thousand correlative studies of media violence and various forms of aggression, and not a single causal link. Virtually every teen-ager and every child in America is exposed to violent imagery. Very few of them engage in this kind of behavior. A normal child is not going to be turned bad by media violence. A rotten kid is more likely to be influenced by it, but there are much stronger influences in that rotten kid's life than media violence.
The problem with dealing with media violence and pouring millions of dollars into it is: Where does it lead? We're not going to censor people. So we're wasting our time. And the crime is that all the money and time we spend talking about this, leads us away from what we really need to focus on, which is to identify high-risk youngsters and to deal with them. And they're a very, very small percentage.
An anti-hate curriculum in the schools is good for most of us, but the people who need it the most are probably not going to be affected by it. The problem isn't political hatred. The political hatred is a symptom of extreme psychopathology.
How do we identify young psychopaths?
This type of behavior often manifests itself extremely young. You see people engaging in vicious and cruel acts at 3, 4 years old. It's a combination of bad biology and bad environment. There are some children with a biological tendency to psychopathy, as frightening as that thought is. That doesn't mean they will become psychopaths. But someone with those proclivities who is then exposed to a very chaotic family life is much more likely to engage in this behavior. You then add in access to weapons, and you've got problems.
We need to look at high-risk kids, and do what we need to do with them. The indications are that if you don't change a seriously violent, disturbed kid by age 12, you're probably not going to change him. There's neuropsychological evidence. Experience with the police at age 11 or 12 is a good predictor of a lifetime of criminality. I would never say never, but you want to get them as young as possible.
This is not anything new. Jesse James was 21, and he murdered 21 people. Clyde Barrow began his career at 9. That we've created folk heroes out of these violent, vicious, psychopathic killers at a very young age tells us something about our own true feelings, that we have an attraction and admiration for it, as well as a repulsion.
But the press reports are that the two Columbine killers were good kids. One of them is reported to have a religious background as a Jew and a Lutheran.
I do not believe for a minute these were good kids. A year ago, they were arrested. If a guy's arrested for a crime, chances are he's done 10 he didn't get caught for. In Arkansas, they were saying the same thing about Mitchell Johnson, but as I went into the history, I found he was anything but. Religious observance and moral behavior are correlated but not 100 percent. There are a few bad people out there, and the few bad people do a tremendous amount of bad deeds.
If there are biological factors to child violence, can there be a medical fix?
There are some indicators that are really kind of scary. There's a weight of evidence suggesting that low-resting heart rate at age 3 is somewhat of a good predictor of violence later on. Just because you have this, doesn't mean you're going to be bad, but we ought to be looking at kids who are high-risk biologically.... This might occur because of psychological reasons, such as withdrawal of love at an early age or some kinds of abuse, causing the autonomic system to shut down and lower the heart rate as a protective mechanism.
What about parental responsibility?
: I have four kids and a big house, but I think I would know if my kids were building bombs in the garage. If my kid was arrested for breaking in, don't you think I'd want to pay closer attention to what he's doing? I do blame parents, and I have no problems doing it.
If you take an in-depth look at these kids, there won't be many surprises. [Their peers] are in no position to be psychologists. Most psychopaths are extremely charming and personable. People don't understand the difference between psychopaths and psychotics. These people aren't crazy; they're bad. These kids made a video about killing people. They talked about it openly. The warning signs are always there, but people don't pay attention to them. We can't understand psychopaths. Empathy is a big problem. We project our normalcy onto abnormal people. They're nothing like us.
Then what can we do about them?
If a kid were engaging in this kind of threatening behavior, I would like to see him arrested and taken into custody and treated in the criminal-justice system. Then we can take a look at how we want to deal with it -- to use therapy, use jail, engage the parent....
These dangerous kids are not a big surprise. There are very few big surprises out there. Clinton will form a commission, and we're going to spend gazillions of dollars on media violence, but no one is talking about psychopathology. It's just more comforting not to deal with the notion of evil or bad people. These were bad kids, they did bad things, their parents screwed up, and the school officials and the cops ignored the warnings.

Ninemen's Morris: QUIGLEY!
Your mind is comprised of two
parts dung and one part wretch!
How dare you, sir, intercept
mail not intended for your ham-glazed grub-grubbing barnacle-encrusted
excuses for hands, and then proceed to not only consume said parcel,
but also reveal yourself as a virtuoso practitioner of the common club-footed
idiot's box traced word waltz!
To start: The fruit your
colon passed with patriotic pleasantry is not called the 'bananella.'
I haven't the faintest idea what a 'bananella' is. I have
consulted several of the most amenable meta-linguisticists and word-alchemists
in my stable of resources, and, without fail, all have concluded that
the word 'bananella' does not exist. Therefore, it is either
an attempted nonsensical addition to the contemporary word canon (which
is already quite full, I can assure you), or it is just your latest
exercise in rump-rousting dipsh*ttery. My vote is for the latter.
And please refrain from your
mail malarkey! That flagon (as a bunching of bananallas is known)
was not intended for you, but rather for your delightful wife, Hermilina.
Haven't you hoodwinked her enough in this lifetime, you stagnant pond
of a man? You've already relieved her of her freedom to live,
love and ride her beloved bare-backs… why must you also stand between
her and fruit? Let the lass have some God-forsaken fruit, man!
But enough of all things personal!
Your ignorance took a break
from his paternity leave and certainly made a valid statement of fact — namely, that Cobb and his Bengalese brethren have taken a commanding
hold of league American, and they are most certainly out-performing
the goodfellow Lajoie and his Ohioans. For the record, we are in partial agreement: The Canuck
Lajoie is not of this country, and despite his good nature,
nevertheless should be kept at arm's length. The land of Canada is
vast and mysterious, and my podiatric pedestals would rather take their
tickels from a Kaiser or Pharaoh, from this Moon's day right up until
the Sun's next! Many a seemingly kind and girthy red, northern face
has smiled at me claiming neighborly well-wishes, when the whole time I
was looking at the chompers of a scurvy-eyed gift horse!
That said, while the Detroiters
seem to be a lock to waggle the pennant American (hopefully they will
be able to hoist it a few times before Cobb uses it to rid his posterior
of residual defecate), they will nonetheless fall hard in the
World Series, at the hands of Chicago's dear Orphans, the mighty child
bears, the blessed Cubs themselves.
To gaze upon America's team
is to gaze upon a manifest destiny so bright in outlook, even blind
men have been seen turning away from the glare! The reigning World
Champions, while locked in a heated race with the swashbucklers of Penn's
Woods' Pitt-City, boast a far-superior club, and once they get their
ducks in order… head for the hills, dear opponent! Between
Mordecai Brown's three fingered witchery, and Ed Ruelbach's quiet
dominance, this club is poised to win championship after championship
for years to come. Cobb certainly will wish he was returned to
the stalk after facing one of the aforementioned mound dwellers —
same as last October.
The Chicago Cubs will win it
all once again!
What say you, Dingbat?

Those posts are such fun to read. Really enjoyable. Can you imagine speaking like that? Was it all tongue in cheek back then? Crazy insight into the baseball teams of the time.
I believe it was, yeah. Someday when you're bored go to the library and look at the sports section from the newspaper around the turn of the 20th century. Quite hilarious! So much attitude! Thanks for checkin' in, Buz.
Jeff love the Nineman's Morris like I said. Whats with all the -iths and such sort. I can't imagine to speak like that. What ninnies, haha.😉
Ted's Take
Ted — Glad you like it. I don't knowith whatith uppith with thatith.
The deft wordsmithery is enough to make these Ninemen's posts worthy of eager anticipation, but the miles off-base foreshadowing by Silas and Alabaster is just freakin priceless!
Jonestein — I will most assuredly pass on your forthwith commentary to the aged old journalists upon our next construation of nitwittery and bagger-dance cheer!
I think Alabaster was probably writing porn on the side. He had the knack.
Jane — You are correct, ma'am! I mean, I won't say yay or nay because I agreed to protect Alabaster's anonymity… but you're on the right path.
09indians – Thanks! And yes, they've changed significantly, but the great thing is that the GAME itself is still the same.
The Following was lifted directly from a letter to this journalist from one Silas 'Red' Quigley, 8 years prior to the writing above the above article:
"To assuage your most despondant and primordial fears, rest assured that Iam not now nor have I ever been an authentic member of that anemic andstricken past-time that is the Leftist regime. If rumors of such involvement have reached your, rest assured that I only participate intheir humdrum ralleys and perspicacious escalades for the purpose of whatthe colloquials refer to as "chasing rump," a vaunted practice with which I know you are well aquainted. There is within the socialist regime ahighly concentrated population of buxom and immoral young delectables, andwith little reservations I preach to them upon a veritable cornicopia ofsociological and philological topics with the purpose of "lubricating the chute," as the saying goes."
Let me propose to you, dear reader, that this Quigley is a man of low moral standing, and that you refrain from reading any more of his quasi-intellectual drivel! He knows nothing of our beloved Morris, and less about the state of national affairs. Do not get mired in his muck.
Yours in good faith,
haha. When I get a chance, I will go to the library and look for those newspapers. I am liking being "friends of the library" and being invited to events there like an upcoming wine and cheese event and book sales.
About Penny, Saturday I think I will mosey over to the visitor bullpen area and see what Dodger fans will be telling Penny while he is warming up🙂
There ya have it, folks. Alabaster is serious.
And Emma, I can guarantee you this: the words you'll hear spewed at a Penny would most certainly be bleeped out if you tried to write them on MLBlogs.
I think Alabaster is making the move on the Lady Hermilina.
(LOL…and where did you come up with THAT name? "Hermilina" sounds like an STD one of my buddies got on his last mancation to the Dominican Republic)
Jonestein — Alabaster and Silas simply tell it how it is. Her name is Hermilina. They taketh what they're giveth😉 (She IS a looker and I know when I refer to my "buddies" I'm usually talking about myself. LOL.)

I started feeding AJ early with eggs. Or at least trying to anyway. He will NOT eat them scrambled. He's got to eat them over/easy and it's still a love/hate relationship with him. Drives me nuts.
We started with the yolks about that time. And the whites at around 10 months (but only because dh slipped and we didn't have any reactions). She loves eggs...anywhich way!

We started with just the yolk too (around 10 mo I think)- kinda cooked it like an omlette (omlette shaped at least ) sans the milk, of course, and he loved it! He loves to dip it in ketchup (my weakness ) and then a few months later we went to keeping the whites in. Still cook it w/o milk, but a little water in there makes 'em fluffy!!

Mama to Daniel (12/3/06) and Lucy Jane (8/28/08)
We gave DS some egg yolk when he was 10 or 11 mo old (I'd have to look at my notes ... don't remember). We first tried the yolk from a hard boiled egg and DS not at all interested.
I made a mini omelet / pancake hybrid for DS:
- egg yolk, some finely grated cheese, some crushed cereal (we hadn't done wheat yet so didn't want to use flour)
DS loved these!
We tried giving DS whole egg soon after he turned 12 mo. DH made a regular omelet with cheese and we gave DS some bites. DS liked the egg but alas threw up right after eating it.
Which pushed me over the edge (combined with cow milk reactions) and we took DS to an allergist who confirmed DS allergy to cow milk, egg and a couple other things.
So - have fun, but PLEASE be cautious with foods that are possible allergens.
ETA: Neither my DH or I have a history of food allergies.

We started giving Mady egg yolk around 10 months. She loves them scrambled with cheese and made with mama milk of course. She likes eating them on her toast lately.
We gave our son the yolk at 11 months and the white after he turned 1. The yolk doesn't have much protein but it has every other thing on earth: iron, B12, vit A, vit E, omega-3,....... The white is almost pure protein.

Anthrax -- Los Angeles, CA -- October 22nd, 2011
Awesome show, all the bands were phenomenal- I'll have a review soon. This is gonna be on Blabbermouth real soon I bet, but Joey was attacked and tackled by some nutjob during Metal Thrashing Mad. Frankie jumped in to help out Joey while the rest of the band stopped the song and there was a big pileup going on with security, Joey, Frankie and the aforementioned crazy dude. After the guy was taken away (with security holding a ridiculously angry Frankie back to prevent him from royally kicking dude's ass), the band just kind of hung out for a couple minutes to let Joey recuperate, but then played I Am the Law as planned. The band was absolutely professional about the whole deal, and both Frankie and Joey were great during I Am the Law. In the end, all the audience lost was about a minute of Metal Thrashing Mad.
Edit: My review that'll be on MetalAssault.com if anyone cares.
Anthrax, Testament and Death Angel- these three acts have long been considered "baby brother" bands of much more popular groups such as Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. After last night in Los Angeles, I felt this notion could still apply today. All three groups gave performances with the energy of bands half their age, and provided Los Angeles with a superb thrash metal experience.
Death Angel began the show with a taut 30 minute set that highlighted their newest album, "Relentless Retribution." After seeing the band twice on their headlining tour six months ago, I knew that Los Angeles was in for a treat. The band delivered; vocalist Mark Osegueda unleashed his road-worn howl as if every word was his last, and the rest of the band followed suit. Guitarists Rob Cavestany and Ted Aguilar frequently traded positions on stage, while bassist Damien Sisson provided a few very cool wah-wah breaks. The tracks from "Relentless Retribution," which made up half of the six-song set, received a deservingly strong reception from the crowd. "Claws In So Deep" in particular drew a massive applause, likely because of its frenetic pace throughout. The classic "Evil Priest" had the audience in the pit jumping along with Mark, and triggered the first of many circle pits throughout the night. The band capped off their short but powerful set with the intro to "The Ultra-Violence" followed by "Thrown To The Wolves." It was a great way to combine new and old, and ended a fantastic set full of adrenaline and aggression. In the late 1980s, the members of Death Angel were noted for their youth; the ever-cited example being that original drummer Andy Galeon was only fourteen when the group recorded their legendary debut "The Ultra-Violence." Last night, it was as if Death Angel had never grown up.
Testament then took the stage and proceeded to throw the crowd into a frenzy of headbanging, moshing and horn-raising. From the opening notes of "The Preacher," Testament immediately had the crowd in the palms of their hands. The setlist was a perfect balance of old and new, with staples like "Over the Wall" and "The New Order" countering newer tracks such as "Henchmen Ride" and "3 Days Of Darkness." Lead guitarist Alex Skolnick aptly demonstrated why he is considered one of thrash metal's greatest talents. His solos sounded distinctively his own, being balancing minor scales with exotic modes and many atonal pinch harmonics. Alex's axe-wielding partner, Eric Peterson, held his own with perfect rhythm guitar playing and even occasional dueling solos with his counterpart. An immense highlight of their set was "Into the Pit," for which the crowd erupted into a sea of violence and shouts of the song's anthemic chorus. The entire set had the crowd moving and the band was in top form throughout.
John Tempesta, filling in for sidelined drummer Paul Bostaph, gave the band a tight metronomic precision that only he could offer. His fills matched those recorded by the past drummers of Testament (of which there are very many) to perfection. It is worth noting that the drum mix during Testament's set was perhaps the best I've ever heard at a thrash metal concert. John's toms boomed loud and clear, while every cymbal was well defined and his snare gave a sharp, yet thunderous crack every time they were hit. Original drummer Louie Clemente's iconic drum performance on "Disciples of the Watch" perhaps never sounded greater than last night in the able hands of John Tempesta and Testament's sound tech. Bassist Greg Christian was no slouch as well, providing a virtuosic performance. Unlike far too many metal concerts he was easily audible, exhibiting a metallic clanking tone not dissimilar to Iron Maiden's Steve Harris.
Then there was of course, one of thrash metal's greatest frontmen, Chuck Billy. If last night was representative of the tour as a whole, his voice has vastly improved since the band's last couple of go-rounds. Every word he belted was clearly enunciated, unlike prior performances where lines would be slurred. Chuck was always engaging the audience throughout, and constantly moving about and interacting with his fellow bandmates. Even his signature half-size mic-stand was given an overhaul, now glowing in the dark to perfectly complement his (surprisingly and hilariously on time) air guitar playing. Chuck didn't waste too much time talking to the audience; as a result the band jammed 13 absolutely killer tunes into one hour. The band gave a phenomenal performance, and left the audience hungry for more. As a cool way of showing their love for their fans, Testament brought a member of the audience onstage to give him a free guitar for crowd-surfing over the barrier more times than anyone else throughout the set. It was a nice gesture on the band's part, and a neat ending to a fantastic set from a band that has never delivered anything less.
Finally, Anthrax came on to the sounds of "Worship," the intro to their newest album, "Worship Music." The band kicked things off with "Earth On Hell," which started the set strong. Singer Joey Belladonna (possibly one of the few thrash metal vocalists who truly deserve the adjective) was in fine voice throughout the night, singing every song as if it were 1985 again. Even though he now sings in a lower register, his voice has lost no power or range. Every high note was hit with ease, and he still managed to work the stage well. As if the lyrics prompted it more than the music itself, "Caught In A Mosh" summoned a massive circle pit after Charlie's legendary drum fill before the first verse. Perhaps the most awe-inspiring moment of the entire night was the sheer explosion of violence during "Indians" upon Scott's cry to mosh, his infamous "war dance" shout. The audience sang along to every word of the classic tracks, and gave plenty of applause to the new tracks from "Worship Music." Ending the set with "Only," my personal favorite Anthrax song, was a classy way to acknowledge former vocalist John Bush's time in the band. Joey sang the track wonderfully, even though John will always be the definitive singer for any material he recorded and wrote with the band.
There was of course bassist Frankie Bello, who seemed to have an endless amount of stamina. The man always had a giant smile on his face, and worked to provide a visual spectacle for the crowd throughout the entire set. When he wasn't leaping about the stage, he was headbanging, making goofy faces or providing high vocal harmonies to help out Joey. Even though Frankie would often stop playing to use his arms to interact with the audience, it ultimately served the show for the better and helped the band's overall stage presence and gave the band a youthful vibe missing from many groups these days. The other band members, while nowhere near as active as Frankie and Joey, held their weight well enough. Lead guitarist Rob Caggiano provided the band with classy, melodic leads and solos and gave an overall professional performance Even though he lacked the sheer technical wizardry of Testament's Alex Skolnick, Rob turned in a more than respectable performance. Rhythm guitarist Scott Ian could be seen headbanging frequently and providing gruff backing vocals to complement Frankie and Joey's melodic singing. Drummer extraordinaire Charlie Benante turned in an expectedly powerful performance. Last night, he proved why he's known as one of thrash metal's most technically proficient percussionists.
The set, while highly enjoyable throughout, seemed purposefully stretched to a length longer than it should have been. This included an extended intro and outro to "Antisocial," and long addresses to the audience from Joey and rhythm guitarist Scott Ian. While Testament had packed thirteen songs into one hour, Anthrax somehow made fourteen songs last about eighty minutes. The set was heavily stacked with tracks from "Worship Music" and "Among the Living," with the band's other classic albums barely being represented. Considering the short set length, it's hard to see why the band simply couldn't include more tracks to both lengthen and diversify the setlist. On a positive note, the tracks from "Worship Music" sounded phenomenal live; the band would be stupid not to play "In the End" at every show they do from this tour onwards. Overall, the set was still perfectly performed and absolutely enjoyable; it's simply a shame that it suffered from unwarranted flaws.
Throughout Death Angel and Testament's sets, the sound was wonderful. According to a note by the soundboard, there was a decibel limit, which I feel helped the sound immensely since far too many shows suffer from being too loud. The bass was audible, guitar solos cut through, and the vocals were completely clear. As mentioned before, the drum sound during Testament's set was one of the best I've ever heard. Despite prior reports, Anthrax's sound was for the most part fine, although Frankie's bass was reduced to a low rumble and Joey's vocals were a tad too low in the mix. Charlie's drums were clear and audible, but his bass drums were dominated by weak trigger sounds. It seemed to only show off Charlie's speed rather than serve the songs.
For those who do not know, Joey was tackled by the venue's security during "Metal Thrashing Mad" when a fan jumped on stage and approached him. In short, there was a small pileup, Frankie got involved and ultimately "Metal Thrashing Mad" was cut short from only the guitar solo onwards. All the audience lost was a minute or two of "Metal Thrashing Mad." Joey was given a minute to recover, the band graciously apologized for the incident and finished the set as planned. Anthrax was extremely professional about the entire episode, and their behavior is a model for other bands to follow in similar situation.
Overall, this was an astounding show with a terrific lineup. Every band played as if their lives depended on it, and Anthrax's perseverance and dedication to their fans was a truly admirable act to witness. Every one of the three groups may not have the sales or notoriety of some bigger acts, but they are the ones keeping thrash metal truly alive and well. For the time being anyway, I and everyone else in the audience last night will continue to worship their music.

During the second semester of each school year, students in the class take donated computers and refurbish them. Refurbishing involves wiping the hard drives clean, repairing and replacing broken parts, upgrading components such as RAM, and installing a new operating system along with anti-virus software and updates.
The computers are then offered to low-income residents of Goliad County.
Last year, the class refurbished and distributed 19 computers. This year's class has refurbished 22 computers and 10 will be used in the technology classroom for robotics. Of the 12 that are left, five are reserved for residents that were still on the list from last year. Goliad County residents who qualify as low-income, can contact Christy Zillig at 361-645-3257, ext. 124.
The program is still accepting donated computers.

I chose the table at the end to wait for our assignment to volunteer and I just happened to sit next to my friend Linda! The volunteers around from left to right are fans of:
Dodgers, Mariners(but likes the Dodgers), Linda a Phillie and Dodger fan, Dodger fan (me!), Dodger fan and Angel fan at the end. Way to represent Dodger fans!
That is the only time you would catch me wearing red.
Linda and I are designated hitters so we waited where they would take us.
Our group was given the assignment to stuff the welcome bags in the back and to be a greeter handing out the bags. I was going to greet but when I went to the back room, I noticed they needed help stuffing so there I sat stuffing and stuffing and stuffing..
I had fun with the ladies but I had enough of stuffing.
I took a little break and stopped by to see Rollie Fingers
I put back my volunteer shirt when I spotted this cutout of Andre Ethier!
Then I was back to stufing bags.
At 5, I headed back on the 5 freeway to Blue Heaven on Earth! I got there 30 minutes before game time. The Dodgers rewarded me with a win. It should not have been that close but the score was Dodgers 9, Cubs 7.
Checkout Deuce! The famous "bailarin" little dancer at Dodger Stadium. Deuce is a riot! Here he is doing his dance routine. Everyone knows deuce, including the players.
Busy day today with photo day, game and then a softball charity game that I am thinking of attending at Pepperdine. It is being hosted by Steve Garvey. Lots of players and celebrities will be there.
Hey Ernie Banks was at Dodger Stadium yesterday! I missed taking a picture of him. Maybe he will be back today!

Emma, you rock! Seriously! Rollie Fingers!?!? AND donating your time to FanFest… you always impress and I'm glad you take the time to document it all with pics. Grade A blogger!
Thaks Jeff! I am loving the volunteering. Let's see what today brings there. Afterwards, I'll have time to check the FanFest.
You are more of a "blue" woman than a "red" woman. That red All-Star Fan Fest volunteer shirt just doesn't suit you….But then I am so used to that dodger Blue on you.
Sounds like it was a great once in a lifetime experience for you, and you got somephotos of your guy too. Well, the cut-out.
I know you will have more on this great day, I know I would be babbling for weeks, maybe an entire month if I had that great opportunity.
You deserve every second of it.

Underneath the red All-Star polo shirt is my Dodger blue t-shirt and I am sportin two Dodger pins. And you and everyone that knows me know I bleed Dodger Blue! One of the paying crew that are like our supervisors saw me come in in my blue and said "there is the Dodger fan." I told him I was surprised that he remembered me from the orientation. LOL
Thanks RR for always being so nice!
Awesome pictures! I agree, the red does look weird on you. I think blue is definitely your color! Glad you had a good time. I like that baseball fans from different teams get the chance to come together and just be baseball fans (you know, instead of Angels fans or Dodger fans). It's pretty amazing. Did you get any new pins??
Great to see the volunteering at the fan fest going so well, looks like you had some fun too…great that you found an Ethier cut out.. too funny…

Rollie Fingers! Cool! And I definitely had to blink when I saw the pic of you in red. Looks like you're doing good work and having a ball too.
Did you get to keep the equipment? When I volunteered for the Superbowl a few years ago I had to give everything back. Stunk. Glad you had a good time! I am jealous!!
I kept looking for the pinc LA Bum but I could not find it. I finally got rid of a Giant pin I had that was a giveaway at the Phone booth park and got me a Dodger pin in exchange! I also purchased a Union 76 one that I did not have before.
The Ethier cutout is next to the Pujols. You know we Dodger fans just love Ethier.
I was accused of being a trader for showing up with the All-Star hat but it only says MLB All-Star.
Oh no! We get to keep the polo shirt, hat and lanyard. I understand we get a pin at the conclusion of our three day volunteering.
I think you look good in red! :O) Nice photos again. I finally saw one of those Mickey Mouses…the Phils one was at the game yesterday. Very cute!
No way! :0) I got pictures of six more baseball mickeys but after the volunteering, walking all over the FanFest, and then in search of more mickeys, my dogs are barking!! But I'll be ready for the All-Star game tomorrow!
I had a great time volunteering for the FanFest and checking out almost everything there! I did not have time to finish! The Red Sox Mickey was doing his rehab assignment at the FanFest.
wow! I'm glad you had so much fun volunteering and enjoying the fan fest. I hope Angels fans and the people treated you well! They all really worked hard for this all star game to be successful! I'm just jealous that I didn't get to go😦 Although I did have fun watching at home🙂
Congrats to the NL for a great win!! Your Dodgers were very impressive!
Stuffing? I love stuffing! Yummy! ; )
I dig Rollie Fingers! I'm a big fan of his. Can't wait to hear how everything went at the All*Star Game. You must be so tired?!
LOL Mike! I love that kind of stuffing too! Yum!
Aside from how hot it was where we were sitting, we had a wonderful time. The win also helped considerably!

dd has been eating solids for about 1.5 months now. When can we start to give her things like cherios? She is almost 7 months old....
dd has been eating solids for about 1.5 months now. When can we start to give her things like cherios? She is almost 7 months old....
I think I gave mine Cheerios at about that age, probably even a little earlier with my two younger boys. I'm not sure about the "rules" for finger foods for infants, but I think if they're able to sit up and have the coordination to pick up the cereal, it's okay. My youngest doesn't really care for them - does your baby show an interest in finger food?
I started ds around 8 months, I have friends who start earlier. At first I would eat half of the cheerio and give ds the other half, now at 9 mo, I give him the whole thing. He more so just throws them around bc he is not good at picking little pieces up.
If she is ready for them, go ahead. However, Cheerios contain wheat so hold of if there is a family history of allergies. (I think that kellymom.com has a "when to offer wheat" guideline.) We are trying to avoid wheat until later, so my 8 month old has been dining on whole grain puffed rice for about about a month and a half. You can also try little bits of bananas and avacado.
Generally, they should be started once baby has developed the pincer grasp and is munching on lumpier foods. My 9 mo old just started them (again) because when we tried them at 8 months his gag reflex was still too strong. Some say that the baby should be crawling with his tummy off the ground, but since my ds doesn't crawl yet (but loves to cruise!) and my ped says that crawling isn't a developmental milestone, I'm not sure that is a fair guideline to use.

Ds started eating Cheerios at 6 mo. He didn't choke, and really enjoyed them. He enjoyed feeding himself.
Obviously, every baby is different. Some won't want anything to do with finger foods until much later, and that's fine too.
One thing to remember is that Cheerios have wheat in them, so if you are worried about food alergies, you may want to hold off on them for that reason alone.
