"He has demodex mange, which is treatable, so we're treating that, and pretty soon he'll look like a normal dog, full fur," said Chris Ouwerkerk from the Michigan Humane Society.Leo is tired and incredibly weak, but you wouldn't know it. He wouldn't sit still and his tail never stopped moving, happy to be above ground.Leo was trapped in a twelve foot manhole on Detroit's west side and no one knows for how long."He was whimpering. Other than that, I looked in there, it was dark, I had to take my phone and flash a picture to see where he was at," Ouwerkerk explained.He rushed to the 12000 block of Manor when a good Samaritan called it in, but the rescue wasn't easy."Got out there and couldn't even see the manhole because even when I was looking for it, you couldn't see it. There was a ladder to get down there, but it was all rusted out. So I didn't want to try and fall in with him and need rescuing myself."Leo was severely emaciated, suffering from dehydration. All of his ribs were visible, and he hadn't eating in days and maybe weeks.Ouwerkerk said the rescue was time sensitive. He used a control stick to pull him to safety."Got it around his neck and waiting for him to put his arm through, so the loop would go underneath his arm and around his shoulders, and as soon as he did that, I tightened it up and started lifting him out," he said. "Soon as I got him out, his whole butt started wagging. It wasn't just the tail."Leo is on a special diet so he won't get sick and, for now, he won't let his rescuer out of his sight."I guess we may have bonded a little bit, so he's pretty cool."It will still be a little while before Leo is able to be adopted, but if you just have to have him in your home and you want to call because you have some questions about him, you can call the Michigan Humane Society at (313) 872-3400.

Karen/NoCA wrote:I sauté certain veggies in a little olive oil, sometimes with butter. I like for the veggie to turn a brilliant green. At this point I add garlic, and herbs. If I find the veggie is not a the crisp stage I prefer, I may add just a little water or stock, put the lid on just for a minute or two. It is a tricky balance to get it just right, so as not to over cook the veggie. Asparagus usually browns a little...other veggies such as green beans, broccoli rabe I don't brown. I like doing carrots this way, corn, zucchini and other summer squashes.
Jenise wrote:I wouldn't call it braising it's a short vs. long process, but what you're doing is essentially what Chinese cooks have been doing for years:
Robin Garr wrote:Yeah, I'd say it is a braise. Admitted, the "lengthy period of time" shrinks from an hour to five minutes, but that's because I'm consciously converting a meat technique to certain veggies.
Jenise wrote:Robin Garr wrote:I agree with Joy, it's glazing.

Robin Garr wrote:Jenise wrote:Robin Garr wrote:I agree with Joy, it's glazing.
I guess I'm not expressing myself clearly.
It's not a glaze. No glaze results from this process. The veggies don't come out coated in a thick syrup. I'm just taking a braise technique but applying it, and converting it, with veggies as the center or attention rather than meat.
I dunno. I like it and I'm going to keep on doing it. But it isn't a glaze.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
A North Baltimore woman who admitted to lying about having cancer, in order to receive donations for medical bills, was sentenced Friday in Wood County Common Pleas Court.
In May, Kimberlie Gustwiller pleaded guilty to lying about having cancer and receiving thousands of dollars in donations from her community. She claimed she had cancer for the second time. She died her hair pink and shaved her head, leaving just a mohawk and fooling an entire community. Police say she stole nearly $9,000 total.
Now, people who raised the money on her behalf say the joke is on her.
"North Baltimore is not a wealthy community, but it is rich in generous and giving people. And these people opened up their hearts, minds, and wallets to someone who was in need," said North Baltimore Police Chief Allen Baer.
Gustwiller said she was lost, battling addiction when she told a lie that she says got out of control.
"I made the mistake of lying to hide what I was truly battling: a life of addiction. I knew I needed help, but my fear of losing my children stopped me from seeking the help that I needed," said Gustwiller.
The judge told her what she did was a slap in the face to anyone who had cancer. He also said he could not tell if she was sincerely sorry about what she did. He held up fliers reminding her how family and friends rallied behind her when they thought she needed it most. "How cruel could you possibly be to tell that to your kids?" said Judge Alan Mayberry.
Gustwiller was sentenced to nine months behind bars. She also has to pay back more than $4,600 to organizations and people who donated. Mayberry said he wishes he could have given a harsher sentence.

23-year-old Jazmine Fisher was shot in the head Tuesday night at her home on 28th Street. Detroit Police officers were forced to rush her to the hospital themselves when EMS couldn't get there fast enough.
The mother of three was struck by a bullet in the temple. She is now recovering in the hospital following emergency surgery.
Her family is thankful for the officers' extra effort, but they are upset with the city.
"It's healthcare. We deserve that. We should have that. How dare you not have us with the trucks we need to get people to the hospital for life threatening situations," said Demerris Fisher, Jazmine's mother.
Tuesday, Fox 2's Amy Lange looked into continued problems with EMS not having units available when 911 calls are received. Fisher was shot just four hours after that story aired.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig said his officers will continue to do transports. Union president Joseph Barney apologized on behalf of Detroit EMS.
"We're sorry. The men and women of Detroit EMS, the technicians, we're sorry about this. We're sorry we can't get to you in a timely fashion. Trust me, if we could, we would," Barney said Tuesday.
Mayor Bing's office says new ambulances donated by the business community are on the way. An announcement on when those rigs will hit the streets will be made later this month.
A boyfriend is considered a suspect in the shooting. If you have any information, call Detroit Police.

HP ENVY 17-2080en Notebook PC support
Blank Screen LED Error Codes
This document pertains to HP Notebook PCs with the HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) beginning in late-2008.
On startup, you may see a blank screen. If the diagnostic utilities detect a specific problem with hardware components, the fan turns on, but the screen remains blank. To help identify the cause of the problem, various LED lights on the keyboard blink a series of codes.
The diagnostic utilities use the LEDs near the Num Lock or Caps Lock keys to blink a series of error codes. At the end of the series the blinking stops. The pattern of blinks will occur any time you attempt to start the computer until the error is resolved.
Battery power LED blinks
The Battery power LED indicates the condition of the power supply. When starting the computer, or when the computer is in operation, use the chart to identify the power condition.
LEDs near Caps Lock and Number Lock keys blink when starting notebook
The LED lights near the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys will blink if an error is detected during the start up process. The LEDs will blink a number of times in a sequence and then stop. The number of blinks in the sequence indicates what component caused an error when it was being tested during start up.
If the LEDs stop blinking and the computer does not start, you can press the power button again to repeat the tests. Count the number of blinks, and use the chart to identify the error condition.
Knowing the number of blinks is helpful when you contact an HP support agent for technical help.
|Caps Lock/Num Lock LED
|Component Tested
|Error Condition
|LEDs blink 1 time
|CPU not functional
|LEDs blink 2 times
|BIOS corruption failure
|LEDs blink 3 times
|Module error not functional
|LEDs blink 4 times
|Graphics controller not functional
|LEDs blink 5 times
|System board
|General system board failure
|LEDs blink 6 times
|BIOS authentication failure
Error code explanations
The sections below provide some common explanations for each error code listed in the table above.
When the computer is on battery power only and the AC adapter is disconnected, if the Battery Power and Caps Lock / Number Lock LEDs do not glow, there is either a very low change or no charge in the battery. Connect the AC power adapter, verify that the battery power LED glows, allow the battery to charge for 15 - 30 minutes and then attempt to start the computer. If it starts, run the battery test and calibrate the battery. If it does not start, if possible, connect a replacement battery to verify that the battery is the problem.
If the computer does not start after charging the battery, remove the battery and connect the AC power supply. Verify that the battery power LED glows, and then attempt to start the computer. If the LED still does not glow, either the AC adapter has failed, or there is a bad connection between the adapter and the system board. If possible, connect a different AC power adapter to verify that the adapter is the problem, or contact HP for support which may require a service event.
If the battery light LED (which looks like a lightning bolt ) flashes, the battery has insufficient charge to start the computer. To resolve this error, try the following solutions.
- Connect the notebook PC to AC power and attempt to start the computer again.
- Check the AC adapter to confirm that all of the plugs are securely seated.
- Determine if the power LED on the AC adapter is lit (if available) to verify that the computer is receiving AC power from the wall outlet.
- If the computer operates on AC power correctly, charge the battery for thirty minutes to one hour and then restart the computer.NOTE:Charging the battery for this length of time is called "trickle charging". Trickle charging is a continuous constant-current charge at a low rate, which recharges the battery slowly when it is in a deep discharge state. Deep discharge occurs when a battery is left unused for extended periods of time.
The computer processor (Blink code 1) has stopped functioning properly. Contact HP for assistance.
If a BIOS corruption error occurs (Blink code 2), you may not even notice the blink codes, because as soon as the computer recognizes the error, it restarts, attempts to recover the BIOS, and then restarts again. You may notice an extra-long startup process as a result, and a message indicating that the BIOS has been recovered may display on startup. If this occurs, update the BIOS on the computer. For more information, refer to the HP Notebook PCs - Locate and Install Updated BIOS, Drivers, and Software .
support document.
If you experience a memory failure (Blink code 3), follow the guide in the table below.
|If Using Original Memory
|If New Memory Is Added
|Reseat the memory.
If reseating the memory does not resolve the problem, try replacing the memory with new memory.
|Reseat the memory.
If you continue to experience this error code after reseating the memory, the problem may be with the memory itself. Take the new memory out of the computer, put the original memory back into the computer, and then retest it.
If you do not feel comfortable reseating the memory yourself, take the computer to a computer retailer and ask them to reseat it for you.
NOTE:Some memory module errors may allow the computer to start but will then cause the computer to restart and display a blinking error code.
If you experience a graphics controller failure (Blink code 4), contact HP for assistance.
A general system board failure (Blink code 5) is the failure of a component not covered by the other LED error codes. Contact HP for assistance.
The BIOS authentication error (Blink code 6) is extremely rare. It is the result of a discrepancy between the BIOS and the hardware that is installed on the computer. This error occurs when the BIOS cannot authenticate signatures from the hardware on the system. The purpose of the BIOS authentication is to be sure that no one has tampered with the BIOS on the computer.
If a BIOS authentication failure occurs, the computer automatically performs a BIOS recovery. If the computer does not automatically recover the BIOS, manually perform a BIOS recovery. To manually perform a BIOS recovery, press all four arrow keys at the same time to cause the BIOS to go to the EFI partition to find and recover the current BIOS.

Daylight Drinking is a review of some crappy daytime TV and (hopefully) some very good beer.
Today it's Judge Judy and Lakefront Brewery's Seasonal, White Beer. Lakefront out of Milwaukee, Wisc is most famous for Fixed Gear American Red Ale. White Beer is an unfiltered wheat that claims to showcase coriander and orange flavors. Next case.
4:44 pm - Kevin is suing his roommate Shelly for unpaid utilities and rent. And White Beer is pretty mellow, the orange flavor is not overwhelming.
4:45 pm - Shelly says the house had BED BUGS! There's a tiny bite to this white beer which is nice.
4:50 pm - Shelly says she lived in the house for 4 days, when they found the bed bugs... Judge Judy totally thinks this is a legit reason to break the lease. No good for Kevin. AND Kevin's girlfriend just said the bed bug issue was really gross. Plus Kevin's girlfriend pretty much just called Shelly a slut.
4:52 pm - I'm digging this White Beer, it's not has heavy as most Wheats which is awesome because it's 90 degrees out.
4:55 - Kevin thinks he's got an air tight contract... but Judge Judy shoved it back in his FACE! Bed bugs are a good reason to break a lease.
4:57 - Shelly SHAVED HER HEAD because of the bed bugs! And White Beer need to go on your summer "to drink" list, especially if you think you don't like craft beer.
4:58 - "I'm so glad I got to show people you don't need to have hair to be happy" says Shelly as she pulls off her wig. Shelly is a little crazy but cheers to that.

So there are two injury stories in NASCAR this week. They boil down to the same thing: should a driver make different choices regarding whether to drive in the face of injury or potential injury? We'll talk about Tony Stewart in another post.
Back in May, Denny Hamlin returned to the driver's seat from a back injury. There was still a lot of Sprint Cup season left and it made sense to gamble on putting the best driver possible behind the wheel of the #11 FedEx Toyota. Now, it's August and Hamlin is dead in the water as far as the Chase goes. So analyst Kyle Petty, a longtime driver himself and son of the legendary Richard Petty, suggested that Hamlin should pack it in, let someone else drive the rest of the year and let himself heal for next season. Hamlin didn't take too kindly to it.
Here's the thing: Petty is right.
Denny is determined to stay behind the wheel and give the best he can to the sponsors and the fans for this season. That's laudable but it completely ignores his own worth as a long-term commodity. There is greater value to those sponsors and fans in a healthy Hamlin having a genuine shot at the 2014 Sprint Cup. I get why he's staying in, but I don't think he gets why he should get out.
I will add this, though: if what Hamlin says about Petty is true, he won't last long as an analyst. If Kyle really isn't doing his homework and really not connecting with current drivers, he's not going to be able to provide the analysis to make the broadcast successful. Moreover, if the players on the ground and in the garage don't trust you or like you, you won't get very far on, or off, the track.
It seems as if both men have some thinking to do about their futures.

A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already. ~ Anish Kapoor
Inspector Wolf The old lady was dead. I could smell it before I even got into the house. The whole place reeked of adrenaline, sweat, fear, copper and steel. He'd dropped her right in her living room. Chopped and chopped until she stopped moving. But I could tell I was getting close. This had been done in a hurry, and the killer didn't have the time to clean up after himself like he usually did. Across the room, the phone rang. The shrill sound set my teeth to grinding, but I ignored it. Instead I followed the killer's bloody footprints into the back bedroom. He'd climbed out the window. If I hurried, I could catch up to him and end this disgusting spree he was on. Then the answering machine kicked in. "Hi, Gramma! It's Red. Sorry I'm running late. I kind of lost track of time. But don't worry. I packed the picnic and I'm heading out the door right now. Love you." She'd been expec

LONDON Ferromolybdenum prices wont improve before year-end, market participants have said.
"It seems to be steady as she goes. Its very much hand to mouth, and that seems to be continuing," one trader told AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin. "There are no real forecasts for next year, but there is a risk of closures and cutbacks."....

Southeast South Australia and southern Victoria are affected by low cloud due to cool southerly winds ahead of the high pressure system. Cloud from a cold front can be seen near and over Tasmania.
In the west a low pressure trough is generating patchy cloud over central Western Australia while a moist onshore airstream is driving some low cloud onto the coast north of Perth.

Recolonization by algae of the sublittoral habitat of Halifax County, Nova Scotia, following the demise of sea urchins
Since the first sublittoral survey off Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia in 1965--66 there has been a cycle of dominance by herbivorous sea urchins followed by mortality of these animals because of disease in 1981 and regrowth of algae. A survey of the same site in 1984 revealed that the algal communities p...

text: The inner door glass on our Whirlpool range cracked from top to bottom. Tony J. • Huntsville, AL • March 14, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool 30" Electric Range GR450LXLQ0 My Repair & Advice I removed two door hinge plates so I could remove the oven door. I removed the various outside frame pieces and the handle/vent assembly by removing the attaching screws. I removed the first inner glass panel. I removed the frame holding the broken glass panel by removing the attaching screws and brackets; those screws require significant force and a correctly-sized Philips driver. I replaced the broken glass panel and reassembled the door. Was this review helpful to you?

Weekend Confirmed Episode 42Everyone is excited to get back in the studio for this first show of 2011. Though new releases cooled over the holidays, Garnett, Brian, and Jeff have plenty of stories for Whatcha Been Playin? Catch up time includes classics like Uncharted 2 and more recent titles such as Vanquish and Bad Company 2 "Vietnam". Jeff got in some time with a new game too; he has mixed feelings about Lost in Shadow, though. Your responses to how much a review score determines whether a game is worth playing get the conversation started in the Warning. There's even a little homework for next week too on a couple of subjects we'd like to get your thoughts on. And in the news, we've got a look at the video game stories coming out of CES from Microsoft's press conference to handheld gaming PC concept by Razer, indie games nominated for IGF awards, and more.

Tailgate Playoffs Wild Card Special: Start: 02:09:21 End: 02:19:07
The Featured Music segment presents the Grammy nominated track "Baba Yetu" by Christopher Tin. This theme song for Civilization IV has become something of a hit in the video game community. After the game came out in 2005, Tin re-recorded the song as the first track of his debut album Calling All Dawns, which came out last year. This new recording is recorded by the Soweto Gospel Choir and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Tin went to London's famous Abbey Road Studios to record the orchestra, and then down to Johannesburg, South Africa to record the choir; and, it was mixed at Eargasm Studios. It has won awards in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, International Songwriting Competition, USA Songwriting Competition, and now it's gunning for the biggest award of all... the Grammy.
Billboard picked "Baba Yetu" as one of their nominations to watch. It's up for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists and Tin's Calling All Dawns is up for Best Classical Crossover Album.
Original music in the show by Del Rio. Get his latest single, Small Town Hero on iTunes. Check out more, including the Super Mega Worm mix and other mash-ups on his ReverbNation page or Facebook page.
Jeff can also be seen on The Totally Rad Show. They've gone daily so there's a new segment to watch every day of the week!

Opinion | Features
Mumbo jumbo: Wearable techIn a new regular column Nic Hodges busts some of the jargon and mystery around ad tech, starting with the wearables phenomenon. If you've spent any time on the internet recently, you could be forgiven for thinking Apple just invented the smartwatch.
Say Ello to the new privacy debate on social mediaWith consumers increasingly concerned about their personal data on social media Luke Heemsbergen of the University of Melbourne looks at new ad-free platform Ello, and what it will mean for the privacy debate in a cross-posting from The Conversation. Ello is new social networking space on the web that is receiving a lot of attention of late – so much that it's caused a few problems with the website out of action from time to time.
Q&A with Droga5's Ted RoyerDroga5 executive creative director and partner Ted Royer sat down with Miranda Ward at Spikes Asia to discuss his experience as president of the jury for film, print, outdoor and radio, the changing creative landscape in the region and plans for a Droga5 Asia office. After being the Jury president across the traditional categories, what do you make of the state of creativity in the region? I was a little bit nervous before coming out here because in past years I had heard some of my more cynical friends say that Asian advertising hadn't really moved on from a lot of the formulas of the past. I think that's bullshit.
The revolution is here - so why isn't it being televised?TV networks need to stop treating viewers like second class citizens and deliver some basic services or risk slipping into obsurity, argues Alex Hayes. I joined the 21st Century on Sunday and bought my first flat screen TV. It's a 40-inch smart TV, with full HD of course, that's standard. Now all I need to find is something to watch on it.
How's your corporate karma?After recently giving up some time to mentor students Jaid Hulsbosch asks why the industry isn't doing more to help nurture future talent. A recent opportunity to reflect didn't involve a spiritual retreat or a bucket list review or a winter mood rebalance at a luxe resort. It simply provided a time to reassess one of the edicts of good karma and a recommitment to 'giving back' to the industry for a purposeful corporate journey.
Q&A with BBH China's Johnny TanBBH China chief creative officer Johnny Tan sat down with Miranda Ward at Spikes Asia to discuss the need for creative nuance in China, the overuse of the word content, risk averse clients causing scam and how hard it is to find staff with talent. How can international or Australian brands flourish in China? I think from an advertising standpoint the most important thing is for brands to stay curious about this culture and be respectful about it. I've worked on many global brands where they're from the perspective of New York or London or even in this region, and far too often there are people who still talk about 'one size fits all', 'why can't we just re-cast in Asians but in the same spot?' Or 'oh yeah, this is a universal truth it will work everywhere'. No it isn't, the nuances are so different.
The latest DrinkWise ad is a beer commercial, not public health messageThe latest responsible drinking campaign from DrinkWise is a cleverly disguised beer ad, not a public health message, argues FARE's Michael Thorn. The alcohol industry's latest beer advertisement masquerading as a public health message was created, according to DrinkWise, 'to promote a safer healthier drinking culture by keeping the event the focus, not the drinking'. Perhaps something was lost in translation, although this seems unlikely with one of the country's smartest ad agencies, Clemenger BBDO on the job. More likely, DrinkWise, an industry financed and controlled body, just couldn't help themselves.
Video is no replacement for good strategy
Too often CMOs think of video as some sort of magic solution when really they should approach the investment required with caution argues Adam Woods.
A hush falls over the boardroom as the CMO delivers his six-months-in-the-making strategy; a strategy, if rumours are to be believed, that will revolutionise the way business is done and, in one fell swoop, drag the company kicking and screaming into the modern marketing era.
Why size doesn't matterMedia agencies, be they independent or multinational, are often very focused on the size of their overall billings. Match Media founder John Preston argues that the industry's preoccupation with billings is unhelpful, particularly within the independent media agency space. There appears to be a fair amount of preoccupation at the moment around size... i.e. size of billings rather than the quality of work created. And, the size of billings seems to be a shout-out from some media independents.
Where does Campaign Brief stand on scam?Michael Lynch, boss of industry website Campaign Brief has questions to answer with agencies about his true position on scam, argues Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes. It can get a little boring when the trade press writes about itself, so my apologies if you find what follows a little tedious. Doubly so, if you feel we've been writing too much about the topic of scam. This morning I find myself the subject of some media coverage (if you count an item in the diary section of The Australian and a follow-up on Campaign Brief).
What Australia's fake, formulaic and contrived work could learn from the humanity of AfricaAustralia's "fake, formulaic and contrived" creative work could learn a few things from the insight-driven cream of African advertising, argues Pat Baron. I've just had the privilege and pleasure of spending a week of 14-hour working days poring over the most creative and effective work created in Africa and the Middle East, as Jury Chairman at The Loeries, Africa's largest brand communication awards. The contrasts with our work here in Australia – and the lessons for marketers and agencies alike – are profound.
What goes into making an AFL Club's 'brand'?With the AFL finals in full swing, Team Epic head of strategy Tony McKay looks at why some clubs are always in the news, irrespective of their performances, while others fade from the headlines. Why are some AFL clubs always in the news, seemingly always relevant and contributing to the footy story, regardless of on-field performance week-to week? And yet other clubs seem to almost disappear as soon as the losses outnumber the wins? Look at the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda in 2014. Poor performers, yes, but also largely anonymous. When did you last hear a spirited footy discussion about either club? What's their brand story at the moment?
Is wearable tech an opportunity for pharma to be more caring?With wearable tech set to burgeon Peita Pacey takes a look at the opportunities which are presenting themselves in the healthcare sector for brands. In the olden days, you know like 5 years ago, when people felt ill or just not quite ourselves they went to the doctors. Nowadays their usual first point of call is to contact Dr Google, who is most likely helpful enough to diagnose them with a rare form of incurable cancer at which they run screaming from our screens into the waiting room of an actual doctor who rolls their eyes and prescribes us with some R&R.
Credit where it's due: Margaret and David - bringing the curtain downAfter yesterday's announcement the ABC is wrapping At the Movies at the end of the year we give Credit Where its Due to one of the longest on-screen partnerships in Aussie TV, Margaret and David. As Margaret always acknowledged, they were like an old married couple, but without the sex. Quarrelling, bickering and occasionally agreeing. But it was all done with mutual respect and genuine affection. We refer, of course, to Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton, known by movie fans across Australia simply as Margaret and David. Surnames were rendered superfluous for two of TV's most respected and popular presenters.
Bitter tweet: defamation in social mediaAhead of a video hangout on Wednesday answering your legal questions Stephen von Muenster looks at how defamation law is evolving in social media. 140 defamatory characters posted in the Twitter-sphere could cost tens of thousands of dollars in damages, the New South Wales District Court has held. The case reignites the complexities of defamation law in a world where everyone is a publisher and information is disseminated across the globe at the click of a button.

I was one of the last girls to figure out I needed to shave my legs. I didn't wear a bra. I didn't have my period. I didn't use tampons. I was so out of the "mature" loop, I was still playing with my friends and climbing the fences and hacking things in the woods while other people started talking about boys, shaving, periods, and kissing.

Playgroup went well today. I love it when it's at my house because I can lay LB down. On the other hand, that means I *have* to wake up and get the place ready. Last night was rough. LB decided playtime shows up at 3am now. So I went to sleep again this morning with her and woke up an hour before the playgroup. *sigh* So much for impressing people with my Mrs. Cleaver skills (it's a lie anyway).Read more
Today we went to Costco. LB is such an attraction for people. Old people are magnetically drawn to her. Kids point her out to their moms. Other babies gawk. She is a big flirt and everyone enjoys her two teeth smile.
After the *sixth* person stopped me about the grocery cart cover Oma got for her, a gal with a baby came to stand behind us in line.Read more
Let's face it, there are a lot of things about being a mommy you knew you'd love. Making your baby laugh, watching her light up when you enter a room, snuggling her while you read at night, finding a new favorite song to dance with and sing to her, bathing with her.
