Overdoing It?
My daily expectation is to do a specific workout on a specific day. While Wednesday is usually Lifeforce Fitness night, I told myself this morning "Relax, Lauren. You aren't tied to your self-imposed schedule."
And yesterday on my way into work, I said "I really need to get to the gym today." But then I took a step back and said, "No, you will workout if Michelle wants to do something active. But you won't just workout because you 'have to.'" Michelle and I did hang out and opted to do a low key run followed by hot cider, which was JUST what I needed.
While many people struggle with just getting themselves to the gym or heading out in the cold/wet for a run, I'm often quite the opposite. I have to talk myself down from the ledge of overdoing it both mentally and physically.
This time of year, I think it's much too easy in our society to overdo it in all aspects - overshop, overeat, overplan, overobsess, overthink, overexercise, overrelax.
Anyway, in the attempt to do what I wanted today, I started the morning off with a little workout I ripped out of my recent Glamour. I'm not necessarily looking for flat belly, sexy arms, toned butt or lean thighs, but this was a rare workout that I noticed I actually liked the exercises they included.
And tonight I went to the gym and enjoyed a cardio mish mash of whatever I felt like: 10 min stairmaster, 13 min bike, 15 min weights and 11 min elliptical. Just like that, a fun 50 minutes of sweat cranked out!
Are there aspects of your life you're feeling "over somethinged ?"
Just watched Michael Buble sing "Silver Bells" on Christmas in Rockefeller Center. His voice is pretty impressive.

Totally hear ya! When I'm not in training mode, I'm all over the place (workout-wise), getting in the things I missed or over-comitting to group runs + social stuff. Every once in a while I definitely have to stop and think "reeeelax."
Rather than doing our morning run today, I opted out and slept for NINE hours. Hah, so yeah. Needed that.

I can be pretty militant in my gym-going, the point that I don't want to do anything else on a weeknight. Sometimes I find myself wanting to turn down other more fun stuff, which is when I have to remind myself to take a night off and have fun. The gym will always be there tomorrow.

Oh I hear ya. I have a complex about my daily workouts and MAJORLY guilt-trip myself if I don't fit them in. Sometimes two-a-days like Tuesdays run in the morning and hot yoga in the evenings. It's definitely important to take it easy on ourselves from time-to-time and remember that our schedules that keep us running around like chickens with our heads cut off are MOSTLY self-imposed!!

You know I totally get this. Like Heather said, my workouts are all over the place when I'm not training. The hubs helps me remember the beauty in the randomness and that there will always be time to ramp things back up.
P.S...thanks for posting to my corner of the internet that I never update!! Ack--I'm such a slacker.

I get like this with social commitments. I feel like i have to say yes to everything... which resulted in an insanely busy Aug-Oct. I learned my lesson and started planning less stuff in November. It was so nice to come home, work out, and then have the entire evening to myself!!

I sometimes feel the same way. I need to rest, especially this time of year when its the off season and I don't need to over do it!

I am the queen of putting too much on my plate. Example - I am currently working on 7 research projects - that's more projects than each day of the week! I'm feeling like I agreed to a little too much, but, fortunately, there are no strict deadlines or anything.

This icon would only apply to the person who started the actual thread and every time that person posts a response in that thread, there will be an icon say at the top right hand side of his/her responses.
This would allow people to see instantly the OP still has issues/questions needs attention.....this would help to focus on the actual issues rather than responses being off-subject.....equally strong, there is a limit to what the OP can accept as everyone is different.....it is especially hard to see who the thread starter is when we are reading a long thread and among these mulitiple pages.....appreciating that when there is a debate thread, this would not apply as it is open to all.
I quite like the idea, but If it was optional (i.e. it could be turned off or on) it may be more useful - if able to be implemented - as there are threads where the OP is not needed to be the main focus of responses such as general interest threads.

The location was wonderful. It is less than a block away from the corner of the main place, Place des Palmistes. It shares a building with the police station. Around the corner is the nearest convenience store, and there are restaurants and sights within close walking proximity. I arrived at 3 in the morning and the staff made sure that my check in was swift and the room was prepared for me. I checked out, likewise, at 4 a.m., and the staff did not hold me up. They ordered taxis for me efficiently for both trips to/from airport. The cleaning service was respectful and generally thorough. A safe in the closet of the room made me feel that my passport and belongings were safe when I wasn't there. Guyane is expensive in general, so it is not surprising that the hotel stay would be a large expense. The breakfast was good and included in the price of the stay, but visitors might not want to eat at the hotel each morning because the same, somewhat bland food more than a couple of times gets really old. The mini-fridge in the room was not working properly so I didn't store as much food in it as I otherwise could have. Also, a light was out in the bathroom and it didn't get replaced. Other than that, it was clean, comfortable, and secure.

Mother and daughter arrested after posting a two for one sex advert
A creepy mother and daughter have been arrested after posting a two for one sex advert on the internet. Ramona Ramoutar, 43, aka "Jazmine" and her daughter Daniella Eshtie Sinanan, 24, aka "Angel" advertised themselves on the 'south florida escorts' section of the website backpage.com. Shockingly they offered a special two for one mother daughter discount. An undercover officer then negotiated a phony deal to have sex with both women for $160. The women then terminated the transaction, thinking he might be a cop before police descended on their home to arrest the women. Ramoutar has seven prior arrests since 1999, according to state records, while Sinanan has three previous arrests since 2011. The pair were arrested on Tuesday and remanded in custody.

|Darian Kale
|Lorth Blood-Seer
|Ryujin Tatsu
|Lorn the Barber
Not liking it to be called a scrub, Lorn has a heavy scowl on his face. Having had enough of the group spirit already he decides definitely doesn't want to share a room with one of these idiots and tries to sneak away from anyone trying to share a room with him, especially the Muscle Wizard. Unfortunately, Lorn, in his haste, trips over a small cart with empty bed pans and in a cacophony of metal on stone he's able to draw all the attention he doesn't want to himself.
This of course did not improve his mood.
At your mercy!
Sleep-eat... hehe
|Lorth Blood-Seer
|DM Doomed Hero
Darian waited a few more minutes while the group picked their rooms, eventually clearing his throat to refocus them.
Moving them through the doors he lead them to another part of the complex. He knocked on a door, and a moment later the top half swung back to reveal a dark haired waif of a girl with a slightly annoyed expression.
"Lochi, I told you- Oh, hi Darian." Seeing the group behind him she grimaced. [b]"You're a few days early for recruits."
Darian only shrugged and smiled. She rolled her eyes and stepped out of sight.
A moment later brown packages started flying out the upper door opening straight at the headmaster. he deftly caught them and tossed them to each of the others in turn.
As they untied the twine and opened them they found simple black tabard. On the left breast was a palm-sized black omega symbol lined in white. Somehow, all the tabards were sized for each person holding them.
|Lorth Blood-Seer
|Darian Kale
Waving to the girl behind the door he said "Thanks Thedra." and turned, talking as he walked.
"She'll be one of your instructor's later. She designs the traps and puzzels, so don't tick her off. These tabards mark you as students, much like the robes mark you as gladiators. On Arena grounds you need to wear the robe. On Academy grounds you need to wear the tabard. As you work your way through the ranks you'll get patches and things. You don't have to put them on, but most do."
|DM Doomed Hero
The academy halls were all curved, giving the impression hat the whole complex was a series of intersecting rings. After a few turns they came to another door, through which loud arguing in thick accented Arch Common could be heard.
Darian sighed and knocked on the door.
"Ah don' care wha' yer ma told ye! White dragons ain't tamable!" An exceptionally large bristle-bearded dwarf said over his shoulder as he swung the top half of a split-door open.
Behind him was a small creature in a white parka, the fur-lined hood all but obscuring it's face. "Mydadusedtohaveone! Herodeit! They'redumbenoughtotrainifyouknowwhatyou'redoing!" it squeeked, barely understandable.
"Dar, will ye tell this overgrown snowball tha' ye can't train a white dragon?" the dwarf said shaking his head.
|Darian Kale
|Darian Kale
The dwarf scowled and looked over his shoulder, grumbling something unflattering in dwarven.
A moment later small leather bags started hitting the counter in the middle of the split door. Darian passed them out.
Finally the dwarf handed Darian a translucent black stone. He passed it to Ryujin.
It was faintly see-through like obsidion but smooth and without any angles. It had nine gems set into it, one for each of the colors of the rainbow, one diamond and one onyx. It sat comfortably in Ryujin's hand, cool to the touch.
"This is your Keystone. For now, you are the Gatekeeper for your class. It will tell you where to be and when to be there. It has other uses too, but you'll learn those later. Your first class is Improv. It starts in three days, in the arena at dawn. I think Big Blue's teaching that one. Expect it to be predictably difficult. The cash is yours. If you plan on being at class, I'd recommend spending some of it on equipment. You'll need it."
If you have a:
Black Arena Patch- 50 Platinum
Silver Arena Patch- 60 Platinum
Gold Arena Patch- 80 Platinum
"Any questions before I turn you loose?"
|Lorth Blood-Seer
|Darian Kale
|Karlov 'Muscle Wizard' Britol
|Lorn the Barber
Not hearing much of what's being said, Lorn is way too occupied studying and admiring the contents of his bag. If I'd known about this before, I'd have come here years earlier he thinks as he quickly looks around to make sure no one is eyeing him and his bag. That's when he notices Ryujin holding the keystone. Lorn narrows his eyes as he stares at Ryujin for a while wondering what else besides being a pain that stone could be.
|Darian Kale
|DM Doomed Hero
That seems like a great segue spot.
Darian made his exit with the same abruptness with which he'd arrived, offering them a wave and simple directions of of the compound.
As they made their way out they passed by a number of other students enjoying a meal in the courtyard. Upon being asked how to get to Door Street, the student's laughed. A few offered to go with them. Soon they were treking through the city proper.
The lot of them had come through immigrations and been shuffled through the underways to the Arena. They had technically arrived on Door Street, but none of them could really say they had ever been there.
They were all unprepared.
First they came to the wall. It was enormous. The arched gate stood nearly forty feet tall. They wall itself must have been more than one hundred. The gate was made of twisted iron and steel bent together in a seemingly random design. It was open but under guard.
A mass of people of all races and cultures was moving through the gates. Nearby they could see dwarves wearing desert attire, a pair of Aasamar in expensive finery, a troll wearing a kilt, and humans of all shapes and sizes. Nearly all were armed. Iun stones danced around heads. Staves flicked with gemstones. Cloaks shimmered or blended.
Soldiers in masterful suits of plate armor manned a pair of large turrets that rested their sights just over the heads of those in the throng. The knight's tabbards bore the emblem of a padlock. Two gargoyles above the gate moved their heads as they scanned people coming and going. Closer to the ground four men in black uniforms with stylized keys on the lapels stopped people randomly to ask them strange questions.
A sign above the gate read simply:
Savage Bazaar
As the new academy students got closer to the gate pushing their way through the thick crowd one of the men with the key emblems spotted them. He disappeared into the crowd, and a moment later he was in front of them.
"New students?" he asked simply.
|Ryujin Tatsu
|Lorth Blood-Seer
Joboo was quite awed by the display of the bazaar and a little overwhelmed by the crowd and the intimidating peoples there. He again resisted the urge to run and hide. But he did try to stay in Gwrrr'rrr's shadow.
|Melashara the Crone
|Lorn the Barber
At the back of the group Lorn wore a scowl when the guard approached them. He didn't like guards, especially the ones that were asking questions. Useless gits, asking questions instead of watching out for actual thieving and murdering. I'd better hold on tight to my well-earned price money he thought while making sure the bag was well stuffed inside his clothing.
|DM Doomed Hero
"Something like that." the black-clad man said with a slight grin. "We've just gotten used to Headmaster Kale sending new students down here without briefing them. He thinks it's amusing and educational. We think it's borderline endangerment and a pain in the ass."
"The rules on Door Street are simple: No theft of any kind. You will be caught. Don't do it. Dont start fights. If a fight breaks out our policy is to supress the area and sort out the details later. In a combat zone all rights except the right to life and property are suspended. No flying without a license. No interfering with Gateway transit. All sales of more than one hundred gold in value are taxed at two percent. As a personal note, I recommend you stay out of the Carnival, at least until you get a few more notches under your belt."
The black clad man looked across the group.
"Any questions?"
|Lorth Blood-Seer
|DM Doomed Hero
"Damaged trou-? Nevermind. It's just a saying." the black clad guard says halfway between amusement and confusion.
"The Sinister Carnival. It's, ah, well, it's the rough side of town, so to speak. Tough customers there, and a lot of broken dreams. A thousand ways for naive people to get taken advantage of. Just be careful."
|Lorth Blood-Seer
Lorth gives a slight nod and bow by means of understanding and acceptance before turning to the right and craning his neck skywards. To Gwrrr,rrr he asks "Mind coming along with me old chap? a man of your standing could be useful if any tomfoolery or chicanery ensures..."
|Lorn the Barber
Joboo snickered when the guard say 'no thieving' and serioulsy thought about doing it just because he was told not to. But he was also smart enough...mesa got big brains in little noggin!... to not screw up the good deal he had going. He didnt know of any other gobbo that had risen so high in the world beyond the Licktoad village. So he stuck with the group and kept his grubby paws to himself.
|Karlov 'Muscle Wizard' Britol
|Melashara the Crone
|DM Doomed Hero
Raising his eyebrows at Melashara's question the guard chuckles. "There's a ton of kiosks selling the basics. Cures, boosts, protections. Anything out of the ordinary you're probably going to have to head to Tower Labs. They're on the outer wall to your right, about three hundred feet past the gate. You can't miss them."
Stepping aside to let the group pass the black clad guard waves them on and says "Welcome to Door Street."
|Melashara the Crone
|DM Doomed Hero
The were not prepared.
They came through the gate into the throng and looked in all directions, and in all directions were wonders.
The street was packed with people and creatures of all kinds. The noise was constant. Merchants haggled loudly and hawked their wares as customers browsed. A giant made her way carefully through the crowd in the distance. Something exploded nearby, a plume of black smoke firing into the air. A group of shapeshifting acrobats performed a dizzying routine on a raised platform. Something terrible roared drawing their attention to a small amphitheater a short distance away.
Along the walls the storefronts were heavily reinforced. The stone bore blackened smears and deep gouges. In the center of the road the kiosks were all small, and all mobile. Some had wheels. Others floated. Nothing that wasn't attached to the walls seemed permanent.
The "street" was nearly a hundred feet across. The other side bore an immense wall as well, keeping everyone on the street sandwiched between the stone barriers. Set into the walls far above the heads of those below were platforms supporting an array of siege-scale weaponry.
The air shimmered strangely. Glowing geometric shapes began as points of light and then expanded into twisting angles that seemed like windows into other places. Translucent images could be seen inside them. Alien landscapes, lush vegetation, vast deserts and seas. Strange cityscapes. Confused faces looking back through into the chaos of Door Street before the lines collapsed again and vanished.
Near the plume of smoke a large example of these glowing windows warped itself inside a strange looking framework of clear, twisted glass. It struggled for a moment and then popped into a fully fledged gate to another world. Inside it a grey and purple roiling storm could be seen that carried floating weightless stone platforms. A group of tall, lanky creatures resembling emaciated elves came through. They were encountered by black-clad guards with chains emblazoned on their uniforms. The gate was only open for ten seconds or so, and then it collapsed into a bright singularity and was gone.
|DM Doomed Hero
After the new Academy students had passed beyond ear-shot the guard returned to his post. He chuckled to his partner. "So, what do you think their Gauntlet will be?"
The other guard shrugged. "I think Carceri is up for a test, and so is Acheron. I'm going to go with Acheron. They're more uppity."
"You're on."
|Lorth Blood-Seer
This place was a wonder and for a moment Joboo wondered if he'd drank some of Mogmurch's special mushroom juice again. The three times he'd done it before had left him drooling and farting in tent for days with the strangest visions. It had been so much fun!
He stuck with the group and made purchases when he saw what he wanted.
|DM Doomed Hero
They made their way along the street, moving with the flow of the crowd toward the strange snarl they heard earlier, and the portal the strange elves had just exited.
The kiosks sold trinkets of all kinds. Charms, baubles, jewelry. Most seemed made from parts of animals. Teeth, feathers, fur, scales. In a shop set into the wall a leathery-looking bald half-elf sold Barding. Next door his twin brother sold leather goods, including armor and travel equipment.
Set into the ground in the middle of the street was a wide round pit where people were clustered. It was hard to make out, but sounds of animals could be heard. It seemed to be an auction of some kind.
Near the auction pit an attractive gmome alchemist sold potions relating to changing a creatures physiology. Flasks were marked "bigger", "stronger", "smarter", "faster". She smiled as she offered small samples of her works.
In the archway the skinny elves had come from, the lines of light flashed brightly for a moment, bending strangely.
If you make the perception check
|Melashara the Crone
|Melashara the Crone
As the others take in the sights and sounds of the market, something catches the witch's eye.
Hey, she says to her companions and rivals, that gate is opening again. That seems odd, doesn't it? Why close and then open right after? Gates to other planes generally expend a lot of energy to open and close...
|Lorth Blood-Seer
Lorth makes immediately for the leathery and bald half-elf, beckoning his meat-shiel... I mean valued companion Gwrrr,rrr to follow. Engaging in an animatic discussion with the man, he attempts to describe a kangaroo and how one might produce barding for one...
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
...noticing the flash but not paying it any particular mind he pontificates "Yes, two long legs, two little arms, long powerful tail and a pouch..." seeing a confused look on the man's face "Well do you have paper and charcoal? I could draw a picture for you?"
Wow, knowledge checks easy enough for me to possible make? How can I not roll...
Knowledge(anything): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11 capped at 10
|Ryujin Tatsu
Perception - 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Joboo was just tightening the straps on his new studded armor when the others started talking about the Gate or some such. He paid it no mind for the time being and continued his transaction with the half elf.
|DM Doomed Hero
With a sound like a cloudburst echoing inside a canyon, the portal wrenched open vomiting forth a group of frog-like humanoids of varying size and color armed and armored in equipment that seemed to defy any sense of function to their form.
A slender one with a twisted looking staff stood in front of the Gate, a crackling line of energy leading to it. It croaked something in a bizarre language.
It pointed toward the arched gate the group had just come through. The other creatures leaped into the crowd. People began yelling and scattering. In front of them an entire swath of bazaar-goers began slipping and falling, giving them a clear view of the action. A green creature gestured and croaked arcing a forked branch of lighting into the crowd. A surging tide of small brown frog men began casting nets and vomiting viscous mucus onto people.
A blue frog man brought a hammer down onto a nearby kiosk causing a volatile mix of chemicals and potions. A blast of fire washed forth. People dove for cover.
It was chaos on Door Street.
Round Zero
Everyone give me DC 12 reflex saves.
If you made the initial Perception check you may take a partial action.
If you made the DC 10 Arcana check, you gain a +1 to your saves this round.
If you made the DC 20 check you automatically make the save since you knew to take cover).
Soft Cover from the crowd grants everyone Evasion this round.
Joboo, you're the unlucky one this time around. Please give me an additional save vs the lightning. DC 19.
|Lorth Blood-Seer
Move action to nearest frogger
Easily ducking behind the counter of the barding salesman to avoid the flow of fire, Lorth emerged with a cantankerous look upon his generally genial face. Just not proper to interrupt a fellow when he's engaging in commerce. He moves towards the nearest of the frog men, bringing his heavy flail forward to a defensive pose as he does.
|Ryujin Tatsu
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Although unaware of what was going on with the portal, Ryujin's training kicked in, diving for cover by reflex.
|Lorn the Barber
Eyes wide open and his mouth halfway there, Lorn was late to spot the assault by the strange creatures.
"What are THOSE?" Lorn said, never having seen the froglike creatures before.
With interest he noticed how some of the frogmen used their nets but right then his instincts had him lunge sideways to get out of the way of a blast of flames coming from a vendor's kiosk.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
I thought I'd posted before (with a perception check I failed but I probably only did a preview and not a post. It was mostly roleplaying so I haven't messed up any important stuff.

After you know you are pregnant how soon should you make an appointment for a sonogram with your doctor? I know that doctors won't call you until you are 8 weeks but I am a hypothyroid patient so would that change in my case?

Congratulations on your pregnancy.
Each Dr and midwife is very different and all suggest first ultrasounds at different times. Most though, do so around 6-8 weeks or sometimes at 12-16 weeks.
I would call your Dr or midwife and let them know of your concerns and follow from their.
Hopefully you can get in soon since you are concerned about your health.
Take Care

Peripheral Nerve Disorders
Also called: Neuritis, Peripheral neuritis, Peripheral neuropathy
Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
There are more than 100 kinds of peripheral nerve disorders. They can affect one nerve or many nerves. Some are the result of other diseases, like diabetic nerve problems. Others, like Guillain-Barre syndrome, happen after a virus infection. Still others are from nerve compression, like carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. In some cases, like complex regional pain syndrome and brachial plexus injuries, the problem begins after an injury. Some people are born with peripheral nerve disorders.
Symptoms often start gradually, and then get worse. They include
- Numbness
- Pain
- Burning or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Sensitivity to touch
Treatment aims to treat any underlying problem, reduce pain and control symptoms.

Shoulder Injuries and Disorders
Your shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body. They can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain in a stable or normal position, the shoulder must be anchored by muscles, tendons and ligaments. Because the shoulder can be unstable, it is the site of many common problems. They include sprains, strains, dislocations, separations, tendinitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs, frozen shoulder, fractures and arthritis.
Usually shoulder problems are treated with RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Other treatments include exercise, medicines to reduce pain and swelling, and surgery if other treatments don't work.

I'm giving it an A, we added quality offensive and defensive line depth while adding some steals at TE and HB.

I don't believe in grading the draft this early. I get it, it's fun, but I just don't believe in it.
Bulaga was an awesome pick and just about made my draft. Neal was very under-the-radar so that pick was a surprise but I figured there was a lot more to it than "need" and whatnot. Sounds like he was a diamond-in-the-rough who had a higher grade than outsiders would think.
Loved the Burnett pick. TT can deny it all he wants, but he clearly jumped Chicago to make it.
Quarless is a bit of a project so I think we'll see Lee for another year. But that said, I bet he'll walk next year as a UFA with this guy on board. Again, this guy is a 2nd J-Mike. Those two will be hell to defend together. Really impressed me with a couple great catches in the Shrine game.
With Newhouse, our OL is STACKED. Need I say more?
Starks was an interesting pick. Sounds like a ST body and 3DRB. Bet he won't see the field much at all though.
Wilson pick makes me think, maybe Dom is going for a certain look at 5-tech from what we have. TT said pass-rush would be priority, I guess it was more in the DL than the OLBs.
All in all, I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Can't wait 'til training camp.

Truly, it's a B+ in my book; but I'll still vote A.
Love Bulaga; pretty sure palmy said he was the best fit for the Packers in this entire draft. Lucky to get him at 23, ecstatic to have him as our LT of the future.
Like Neal; love the numbers Waldo put forward, shows he is a freak athlete; I've always liked Neal but never considered him with our 2nd round pick. Regardless, I think he has big potential at d-end.
Love Burnett; always fun when we trade up, jumping the Bears only added to that; he's got great ball hawking ability and is a big hitter. Pair him up with Nick Collins and watch them dominate in the near future.
Like Quarless; very high end talent but will need to focus on football to fulfull his potential; I'm confident he can get there and prove to be a good value pick. Love a Finley - Quarless - Havner TE group.
Love Newhouse; nasty guard, good value; should be a very good backup and may even get a shot to start at LG.
Love Starks; the more I read up on him, the more I like him; good burst, agility and seems like a great talent that could have gone much higher than the sixth round if he hadn't injured his shoulder. Plus, Starks is a cool last name.
Like CJ Wilson; good value pick. Interested to see what he can do.

I give it a "B" the Neal pick is the one that I don't like. We get a fine player, Im not doubting that, but with what was on the board in terms of DB and OLB help, it just wasn't the right pick. Thank goodness Al Harris works his tail off because TT just put a lot of pressure on him with this draft. My favorite part of the draft is that the OL should finally be set, that makes me very happy.

i gave it a B. thats trying to look at it objectively. I felt it was less than an A because i would have liked to see some more depth at OLB. I'm totally comfortable with Matthews and Jones, and i like Obi to be our #3, but we don't have much depth that i would trust after that.
As per pick:
Bulaga: A+
Neal: B-
Burnett: A+
Quarless: C
Newhouse: B+
Starks: B
Wilson: A-

I gave it a B. Although I don't believe in giving grades right away, I think they addressed some key areas (specifically O and D-Line depth). I also think Corless has a chance to be another Finley, which, just think how dangerous that could be.
Not addressing linebacking and corner depth is a bit concerning, but TT said that he has confidence so I'll trust him.
The key is going to be staying healthy, but obviously there are no guarantees. Personally I hope TT goes out on the free agent/trade market and adds one OLB and CB. Then I'll rest ALOT easier.
Still a good weekend overall. Nice job FO.

Bulaga - A+ (great value great player)
Neal - B- (not really a huge fan of this pick but I can see why it was made...would have liked to trade down or draft someone else but who knows, I could be very wrong)
Burnett - A (I like this pick)
Quarless - C+ (I like him as a player but I think there were better players available)
Newhouse - B (seems to have a pretty good upside and our line looks very promising)
Starks - A (Seems like he could be very very good for a 6th rounder...especially if all the comments about him are true, I hope he makes the team and pans out)
Wilson - B+ (good value, 7th rounders usually don't matter too much but he has a shot to make the team)
Overall B...I don't really like it as much as last years but we improved our lines a lot. Still hope we can improve our running game, cornerbacks and linebackers. I don't hate it but I don't especially love it.

I feel pretty good about the draft. I didn't foresee the Neal pick, but that doesn't mean much. I liked a few guys better at a few spots, but I really can't complain about the positions. I think that getting a pass rusher might be needed, but I liken the need for a CB to last year at LT. We could have developed one, but didn't need one. We will next year. Samsies with a pass rusher.
We'll go in order.
Bryan Bulaga
Lots of talk about him in the top 5, but equal talk about him not being LT ready. The best part about him is that, even at 23, if he only ends up being a great RT or LG, he has good value at 23. He seems excited to be a Packer and the Packers seem thrilled that he is theirs.
Included in mock #12, 14, 15
Mike Neal
I was shocked to see him picked here. With a few other guys on the board that looked to be more highly ranked guys, Neal stands out as a guy that the Packers have a hunch on. That being said, the draft was not rich in 5 technique guys and Neal fits that bill. I would have been happier with a guy like Cody, but the Packers will never have the conditioning problems with Neal who appears to be an athletic stud who can stack and shed. I just don't see much flash from him.
Included in mock #6
Morgan Burnett
I liked the Mike Neal pick a ton more after this pick. I loved Burnett enough to pick in the first, so getting him in the 3rd is awesome. I think that Bigby better have his big boy hat on because he'll have to bring it to beat out Burnett.
Included in mock #1
Andrew Quarless
This guy is a 1st round TE with the maturity of a 1st grade boy. He is incredibly dangerous in the passing game, but is equally dangerous in the locker room. On the flipside, the locker room is stable and reigned in Finley, with whom Quarless shares much. He'll either displace Lee or get cut.
Not included in mock
Marshall Newhouse
My big sleeper o-line pick was actually picked. He is awesome on the second level and really gets the zone scheme. Look for him to stick on the left side and move in to guard. I am a big believer in this guy starting in year 2.
Included in mock #24, 25, 27, and 28
James Starks
Starks is a tall RB who was a stud as a JR but out as a SR. Durability is an issue, but he is a versatile RB who can catch, run, and throw. I am really interested in how he looks at minicamp because my take is that he was a stud who could not play in 2009.
Included in mock #2
CJ Wilson
A great player, but where is he going to play? The Packers must think that Jolly is getting suspended, because why else would you pick another DE? Not that you look for need in round 7, but you might look at capacity. Wilson is another athletic big.

From my 'liking it' standpoint - this draft is an absolute ace and gets a hugh A from me. We got a top ten LT in my mind at 23, probably my 2nd favorite safety in the 3rd and a DE in the 7th I liked in the mids.
Plus we got a TE and RB, both positions I wanted to address in this draft with two guys who are very athletic and slipped for various reasons and could really hit it if things work out.
Absolutely love this draft. My favorite one so far.

I just think that you need to look at the big picture with picks like that. If Neal can become the stud 5-tech that it sounds like he has the upside of being, it does kinda make life easier for the OLBs and with the improved pass-rush, it helps your secondary too.
Just saying.

Charlize Theron Opens Up About New Motherhood to Ryan Seacrest
New mom Charlize Theron chatted with Ryan Seacrest on Friday about her favorite baby gadgets and more!
-Lucia Peters
Charlize Theron's announcement last week that she had adopted a baby boy may have taken the world by surprise, but boy, was it a pleasant one. Besides releasing one short statement, however, she kept pretty quiet all week. We understand why, of course; but that still didn't stop our insatiable curiosity from working overtime. But now we've got a little more to go on! Hoorah!
Charlize went on Ryan Seacrest's radio show last Friday to chat about new motherhood and how baby Jackson (who, by the way, is four months old) has changed her life. The most surprising thing, the actress said, was the outpouring of support from the public. "It's been amazing, the amount of emails and congratulations," she said; "Everyone's just been so lovely—it's been really nice." That support? Probably because we all think she's going to be a terrific mom!
So what's Charlize's favorite baby gadget? Well, it may not quite be a "gadget," per se, but she kind of adores swaddling: "I've got to say, I didn't think I would be a fan of the swaddling," she told Ryan, "but the swaddling's pretty amazing." For those of you who aren't familiar with the technique, swaddling involves wrapping your baby up ridiculously tightly so that they don't scratch their faces or anything. Sound weird? Charlize thought so, too—"At first, it looks a little like a straitjacket, and you just feel like it's child abuse," she remarked—but don't worry; it's not. "For some reason," Charlize said "they just love it."

Ryan also took the opportunity to ask her a few questions about Snow White and the Huntsman. Here are a couple of soundbytes for you:
On taking on the Evil Queen: "For me, I just saw great potential to take something so iconic and find a human being underneath all that."
On evil character inspiration: "Oh my god—that's it! She's Jack Nicholson in The Shining! Locked in her hotel-castle, going slowly crazy!"
On the reimagining of the tale: "This is not your dad's Snow White."
No, it certainly isn't! Good stuff. Take a listen to the whole interview here:
Congrats again, Charlize! We can't wait to see Snow White and the Huntsman this summer!

WASHINGTON, DC — A recent letter from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's general counsel may spell good news for bulk vending operators and suppliers. Cheryl Falvey's letter, dated November 17, suggested that products containing phthalates, a plastic-softening chemical used in some vendible novelties, might still be sold through bulk vending machines without fear of prosecution, if those products were manufactured prior to February 10, 2009, the effective date of the new CPSC standards.
The letter appears to run counter to a previous interpretation of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which assumed an immediate ban on phthalates in the same manner as lead.
"…With respect to phthalates, the legal analysis is different [than for lead]," wrote Falvey. "With regard to phthalates, Congress created a consumer product safety standard and the clear statement of unambiguous intent to apply that standard retroactively cannot be found." Therefore, Falvey wrote, the CPSIA's new phthalates standard would apply to "only those products manufactured after the effective date of the new standard."
However, the staff advisory opinion issued by Falvey may not be the final word on the matter. According to the National Bulk Vendors Association, aggressive states' attorneys general may still try to get products removed in attempts to garner publicity or educate the public. The bulk vending association is urging operators to consider the likelihood of such actions in their states.
For instance, both California and Washington instituted bans on phthalates that go into effect on January 1, 2009. These bans supercede the CPSC interpretation issued by Falvey. It seems that despite the Falvey letter, these states will not allow toys they deem unsafe to be "grandfathered" in.
If Falvey's interpretation holds up, operators can temporarily continue to sell items that have phthalates in them without fear of prosecution. But whether or not attorneys general choose to interpret the matter differently remains unknown.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 was signed into law by President Bush on August 14, after passing both houses with strong bipartisan support. It expands the CPSCs recall authority and funding. The legislation also formalizes the 600 parts per million lead content limits in children's toys already adopted by the bulk vending industry, and bans six different varieties of phthalate plastic softeners that have been linked to reproductive damage.
Phil Brilliant, NBVA's legislative chair, provides details on how the new law will impact operators and suppliers, here.

Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College softball team split their doubleheader with the Erskine College Flying Fleet on Saturday afternoon, taking the first game 2-1 before falling 6-1 in the second game.
Game One –Brevard 2, Erskine 1
BC's Jamie Hrobak (W, 1-0) tossed a complete game one-hitter while Brittany Jones went 2-for-3 with a homer and a pair of RBI's to lift the Tornados to a 2-1 victory in their 2013 opener.
With the Tornados trailing 1-0, Jones knocked her first career home run in the top of the 3rd inning to tie game at 1-1. Jones later delivered a game-winning RBI single with two outs in the top of the 4th.
Hrobak had a no-hit bid going until a leadoff double in the bottom of the 7th inning. The Flying Fleet scored their only run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the 1st.
Game Two - Erskine 6, Brevard 1
The Flying Fleet pushed across four unearned runs against starter Alyssa Miller (L, 0-1) in game two to overcome a 1-0 deficit to start things off.
The Tornados jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st after Brittany Fowler singled to lead off the game and later scored on a passed ball.
Erskine responded by scoring five runs over the first three innings, and adding a 6th run in the bottom of the 5th to take a 6-1 lead.
Brevard will host Virginia Intermont College for a double header tomorrow for their 2013 home opener. The games are scheduled to start at 1 and 3 p.m.

Last month, I talked about the difficulties involved in raising prices to maintain or restore profitability. A workable approach to price improvement, of course, is just one part of a successful profit-protection strategy. Another is effective cost reduction. For vending, amusement and music operators, commissions are a major cost. Nearly all businesses grapple with pricing and cost containment. Commissions are a less widespread issue, but certainly not unique to us. Concessionaires confront a problem that is almost identical to ours.
Many operators view vending commissions as a financial burden and a prime obstacle to cost-reduction measures. Frankly, I have often wondered why commissions ever were paid to location owners in the first place. If vending and amusement operators are providing a service to the location's personnel, shouldn't the operator charge for that service, rather than offering to pay for the privilege of providing it?
Discussing this topic with colleagues and readers has given me better insight into the question, and the legitimate and illegitimate uses of commission. A legitimate issue is that installing full-line vending equipment, or anything else that uses electricity, is going to impose some expense on the owner of the premises. The vending machines also will contribute to litter and solid waste; if they include a coffee or cup cold drink machine, there will be spills, too. Offering a commission to offset the cost of energy, the use of the floorspace and the increased demand on janitorial services seems only fair, if you accept this argument.
The illegitimate use (which has been far more harmful over the long haul) is to obtain an unfair competitive edge by offering something other than better quality and service. In many industries, like coffee service, this edge is sought through price-cutting. In vending and concessions, it takes the form of offering a commission higher than the account's profitability can justify. This has been a problem for as long as anyone can remember. While no one really cares if somebody wants to put himself out of business, the practice of offering excessive commissions causes extensive collateral damage. At best, it arouses unrealistic expectations among prospective clients. The disreputable operator offers very high commissions; after he goes out of business, everyone else has to go back into a corrupted marketplace and explain that they can't pay that kind of commission because, if they try, they will go out of business too.
What may be worse is the effect that this practice has on the reputation of the industry. Someone who has secured a client by offering an unrealistically high commission is tempted to cheat, by under-reporting sales. Word gets around, and honest operators find themselves under suspicion. This creates a host of problems, most of which can be grouped under the heading, bad public image.
The analogous bad practice in coffee service, price-cutting, similarly distorts the market and encourages foolish or malicious practitioners to cheat, historically by providing lighter packages than promised, and/or fewer packages in the kit than specified. Again, these ploys make it more difficult for the great majority of honest operators, and injure the long-term health of the industry.
During the height of the coffee service revolution, there were serious industry observers who argued that inferior product and light pack weights, if not misrepresented to customers, had a respectable place in the market. There were clients who did not want, or could not afford, anything better. Similarly, I suppose there are decision-makers who are rewarded for granting a contract specifying an exorbitant commission, even though the actual payments almost certainly will be less than would result from a lower rate, but better equipment, more professional service and a menu more carefully designed to maximize sales revenue. The reality is, as long as there is free enterprise (and management companies are vying for a piece of the pie), commissions aren't going away any time soon. In what follows, I am speaking about honestly calculated commissions on accurately reported sales, at rates within contemporary industry norms.
Naturally, the main objective of any business is to earn adequate profits to attain a return on assets that not only permits the business to survive and grow, but provides an adequate reward for the effort and risk of running it. In these industries' formative days, equipment, labor and fuel were cheap, margins were high, and the return was ample to provide some flexibility in designing commission program. But, as we all are keenly aware, in today's economic environment, the preconditions for that comfortable situation no longer exist. Even operators with prime locations and modern equipment kept "clean, filled and working" may struggle simply to break even. At a recent Profit Improvement seminar led by Brad Bachtelle and Gary Terrell for the National Automatic Merchandising Association, the speakers reported that average operating-company profit in 1999 was 5.6%, and the average commission rate was 6.2%. By 2006, average profit had plunged to 0.9%, while the commission average went up to 7% (see VT, March). It's a new world that requires innovative strategies for success.
Imaginative operators always have recognized that a flexible and creative approach to commissions can reduce the burden and increase account satisfaction. It certainly is something to keep in sight, on the table, when striving to adjust to higher operating expenses and increased cost of goods. Adjustments to commission rate can be offered as options from which clients can choose when faced with the need to increase prices or impose a surcharge on fuel.
But even if we were to do away with commissions, would all our financial perplexities be resolved? I doubt it. We would still need to increase management efficiency and reduce operating friction to get the best results. Cutting down on vending commission is not enough, and more often than not, it isn't even an option in today's competitive environment. We need change our mindset and explore ways that commissions can be used as a tool to reduce costs or improve profits (or both). And we need to analyze our overall management practices and revisit our marketing strategies.

Timbaland says posthumous collaborations with Aaliyah don't 'work'
Listen to Timbaland on iHeartRadio | Listen to Aaliyah on iHeartRadio
Hip-hop producer Timbaland is not a fan of recent songs by Drake and Chris Brown that feature vocals by the late Aaliyah.
Timbaland - who often collaborated with Aaliyah - tells Revolt TV that Drake and Chris Brown's posthumous collaborations with the singer don't "work." He goes on to say that such collaborations "would never work." The hit-making producer believes Aaliyah's music only works with "its soul-mate," which he says is himself.
Timbaland also confirmed that he plans to start working with Nas on his next album, which he predicts will be "phenomenal." Nas and Timbaland teamed up for tracks on Nas's 1999 albums "I Am" and "Nastradamus."

Violent Storms Wreak Havoc in Missouri, Arkansas
(NEWSER) – At least two reported tornadoes have damaged dozens of homes in Missouri and Arkansas, leaving at least three people injured. In a suburb of St. Louis, some 24 homes were damaged as a storm tore roofs off buildings, CNN reports. Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency; he'll tour the damage today. The exact status of the storms was unclear: "We won't be able to confirm whether it was a tornado until teams get out there" today, said a weather official.

Grasshoppers' Lowell dominant again
Marlins prospect strikes out nine over seven hitless innings
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | July 21, 2012 6:17 PM ET
"I was taking a lot of time in between pitches, stepping off the mound, getting the rosin, taking deep breaths and I was giving guys a chance to think about what just happened or what was going to happen next," Lowell said of his slow pace on the mound. "Now I am speeding them up; maybe I can get 'em when I'm ready and they're not."
In two starts following the advice that Lowell said he took to heart, he was nearly unhittable. In the third, on Saturday night at Asheville, he was completely unhittable.
The Marlins prospect struck out nine and pitched seven no-hit innings in the Grasshoppers' 3-1 victory over the Tourists at McCormick Field.
Lowell (5-4) struck out the side in the fourth and fifth frames and had retired 10 in a row when Tourists shortstop Trevor Story reached on a two-out error in the sixth. The 21-year-old left-hander also walked one batter, plunked another and was the beneficiary of one double play.
"The one ball they gave [shortstop] Austin [Nola] an error on, that was a tough play; it took a tough hop on him," Lowell said. "That was all, really. They didn't barrel anything up."
Pitch No. 107 was his last, and the Grasshoppers' combined no-hit bid ended soon after his exit. Lefty reliever Gregory Nappo, who contributed to the club's April 24 no-no at Hickory, yielded Taylor Featherston's leadoff double and Brian Humphries' ensuing RBI triple in the eighth. Right-hander Collin Cargill pitched around Samuel Mende's single in the ninth to earn his second save.
How much Lowell wanted to decide his own fate was outweighed by his sense of where he is in his career: 22 games in.
"You don't want to be a guy that throws a Low-A no-hitter and never pitches in the big leagues," he said, appreciating the developmental focus of the South Atlantic League.
The effort was Lowell's second consecutive sterling outing. On Monday, he flirted with a no-hitter and struck out a career-high 14 against Kannapolis. He preceded that gem with six innings of two-hit, two-run ball against Hagerstown.
"The last three starts," he said, "I've had all three pitches working really well. Whenever I've need a pitch, it's usually there."
Through 18 starts overall, Lowell -- Miami's sixth-round pick in the 2011 Draft out of Wichita State -- has fashioned a 3.66 ERA. Plus, his 106 strikeouts are tops among active Sally starters. Nationals prospect Alex Meyer fanned 107 but was promoted to the Carolina League this week. Perhaps most impressively, opponents are batting .199 against Lowell.
"I have been working a lot on early contact, but I'll take swings and misses," he said. "The last couple weeks, I've been better at putting guys away."
Tourists starter Vianney Mayo (3-4) was charged with all three runs on nine hits, including first baseman Matt Smith's solo shot in the fourth. Mayo also went seven innings.

Justice Department's AP Subpoena: Surgical Strike or Dragnet?
In the war on terror, the Obama administration has eschewed putting military forces on the ground in favor of surgically precise drone strikes. The campaign is constitutionally dubious, although the program's backers say it is more humane, as it means the loss of fewer innocent lives, and more effective. That the drone program is waged mostly in the shadows, and thus keeps gruesome images off television screens, is considered by the administration to be a benefit as well.
The drone program comes to mind as the Department of Justice fends off questions this week about its decision to subpoena two months of phone and email records from reporters and editors at the Associated Press. Typically, when federal agents want a reporter to disclose a source, the reporter is subpoenaed and forced to name names or face jail time. That happened to Judith Miller and, more recently, to Jeffrey Sterling.
But like the drone strikes, Justice Department officials say the subpoena method is, in the end, more efficient and more humane. It keeps reporters loath to give up their sources out of jail, and it permits federal officials to track down leakers more quickly. And the surgical strike on newsroom records avoids months and months of high profile court cases, with every news outlet in the country screaming about the First Amendment.
"From the department's perspective, this is a much less aggressive step than putting someone in front of a grand jury or putting them on trial," said Matthew Miller, a former spokesman for Attorney General Eric Holder. "You trying to balance reporters' needs and ability to do their job, and the department's need to fully investigate a crime, and this step achieves that balance."

The following cards use the ALSA snd-audigyls driver. It uses a P17 Chip: CA0106-DAT. Note: With ALSA 1.0.8, snd-audigyls module is being replaced by snd-ca0106, see below for further information. It has been tested, and can do Analog output on the SB Live 24. Currently Mic input and SPDIF in/out do not work on the SB Live 24. For those interested, it is called the ca0106 driver because that is the name printed on the big chip on the cards. The driver for the Audigy LS/live24bit is now included in alsa-driver 1.0.8.
Audigy LS. Model:SB0312. Supported in alsa-driver 1.0.6a and above. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/audigyLS/
Live! 7.1 24bit Model:SB0410, SB0413. http://www.soundblaster.com/products/live24bit/
Download it from: http://www.alsa-project.org/
To build it, use:
./configure --with-cards=ca0106
WARNING: The Audigy LS is a very basic sound card. It has no hardware mixer, no DSP, and no interpolators. (Well not totally true, but I have only just received the Datasheets under NDA, so how was I supposed to know before! I will be implementing support for some extra features now that I know about them, when I get a moment. For example: The sound card does in fact have interpolators.)
Development of the ca0106 driver is done with a Model:SB0310 and a Model:SB0410. We understand that an Audigy LS exists with Model:SB0312, and we would like to know what the differences are. lspci -vn will help us. More information regarding the CA0106 driver that might be interesting to developers is available from: http://www.alsa-project.org/\~james/alsa-driver/
A good creative sound card identification list is here:

Is frequent use of a wrap safe?
I have been attachment parenting my little girl from birth. She is now 3 months old. During the days I carry her around in a wrap. I do put her down when she is awake to play and she does seem healthy and has met all her developmental milestones so far. My concern is whether the wrap does any harm to her growth (especially her spinal development).

There has been some concern about the baby's hips developing improperly when they spend too much time in a car seat, swing or a front pack that doesn't support properly. My guess is that you may have been wrapping baby to you in a way that doesn't spread her legs. In this case, there is no problem at all in keeping baby on you while she is awake. Baby is used to hearing your voice and being "rocked" by you when she was in the womb, so wrapping her to you while you go about your day will be quite comforting to her.
Attachment parenting is a wonderful thing!

Here are the 'T.I.C.K.S rules for safe babywearing'; as long as you follow these babywearing is as safe for as much of the day as you and your baby want to.
It is fine to wrap a young baby with their legs in the 'froggy position' or with legs out as long as it is a natural and comfortable position for the baby. A wrap enables a wide base for the baby to sit on and so does not cause problems with a baby's hips or spine.
Best wishes,

Ray Price improving, will undergo 'routine' cancer tests this week
Listen to Ray Price on iHeartRadio
Ray Price continues to get better. His wife Janie says in a Facebook post that the doctors have "resolved the dehydration problem," and the country legend is listed in good condition.
She explains that Ray will spend this week "getting all of the routine tests run for the follow up on his pancreatic cancer status," and his doctors are "very optimistic as to the outcome."
Janie adds that Ray is looking forward to his return to the stage. Pollstar.com says Price has a couple of shows coming up in Missouri next month. He's scheduled to appear at Knuckleheads in Kansas City on June 7th, and perform at the Americana Theater in Branson on June 8th.
On May 9th Price was hospitalized with severe dehydration, which was reportedly caused by medication for post-radiation syndrome. The 87-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer revealed last year that he was battling pancreatic cancer, and said earlier this year that he was in remission.

Tigerville, S.C. - The Brevard College women's team set new team records at the Cherokee Valley Invitational, posting a two round score of 725, as the Tornados finished third overall in the six team field.
Brevard shot 376 in the first round and then made a 26 stroke improvement on day two as the team finished their first tournament in the team's short program history with two rounds in the 300s.
Alisiya Klochkova led the Tornados in the tournament, finishing just outside the top 10, bouncing back from scoring a 90 in the first round to cut eight strokes from her total as the senior from Moscow, Russia finished with a two-round score of 172, tying with Jacqueline McCormick of Mars Hill to finish in 11th.
Marliana Garman tied Klochkova for the low round for the Tornados in the tournament, bouncing back from a first round 95 to shoot a second day 82, cutting 13 strokes from her total to finish 14th overall in the event.
Allie Hovis was also in the top 20 for the Tornados, placing 19th overall, while recording her lowest round with the Tornados. Hovis recorded a first round 96 and went under 90 in the second round, carding an 89 on day two for a two round score of 185.

A native of Akron, Ohio, Mr. Levin worked in Michelin-starred kitchens in Paris and served as a chef at Viognier, the upscale restaurant in San Mateo, before opening The Refuge in San Carlos five years ago. It is named after an old wine bistro in Paris.
Although Paris might be the inspiration, the menu at The Refuge seems related to the famed delicatessens of New York or Los Angeles. According to Yelp and other websites, the most popular item on the restaurant's menu is the Reuben sandwich (pastrami, sauerkraut, melted Swiss, and Russian dressing on toasted rye). Another hit is goofy fries (garlic fries topped with chopped pastrami and cheddar cheese sauce). The extensive menu also lists such offerings as ribeye cheesesteaks, burgers, and even a pastrami chopped salad.
Just so you don't leave hungry, there are house-made ice creams, bread pudding, and a root beer float on the dessert menu.
Eighteen Belgian ales are on tap and the bar features 100 selections of artisan ales. The Refuge also offers "old world" wines.
The Refuge's new location is the former site of Siam Restaurant and, later, Marq's of Menlo.

Dr. Jennifer Shu and her team of pediatricians answer your health questions.
What is the right age I can give my child a low fat milk instead of whole milk?
By: Howard J. Bennett, MD, FAAP
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends breast milk for the first year of life. If breast milk is unavailable, the infant should be fed an iron-fortified formula. Babies are transitioned to whole milk at one year of age. The AAP recommends that children stay on whole milk until two years unless there is a reason to switch the baby to low fat milk sooner. Your doctor may make this recommendation for clinical reasons or because there is a family history of obesity, heart disease, or a cholesterol problem.
The reason the AAP recommends whole milk until two years of age has to do with a baby's growth and development. Infants triple their birth weight by one year and quadruple their birth weight by two years. During this period, the baby's brain and nervous system are making amazing gains in size and complexity. Because the brain and nervous system are largely composed of fat tissue, it is reasoned that the baby should have a higher fat diet during this period of time.
Whole milk contains approximately 4% milk fat. It may help to gradually switch your child from whole milk to a lower fat milk. Therefore, many doctors recommend that children get reduced fat (2%) milk for a few weeks before switching them to low fat (1%) or no fat (skim) milk.
