Graphix Design & Photography is definitely NOT your average retail
design and photography company. My name is Brooke Ragsdale and I will
work with throughout the process, starting with getting to know you so I
can pick up on your personality traits all the way to your intentions
for your finished designs and/or photographs. I want you to walk away
from this experience feeling like you will "do" something artistic or
creative with the photographs instead of tossing them into an envelope
and storing them in "that" box in your attic.
I am probably one of the most laid back and comical people you will ever meet. I am known for taking awkward situations and turning them into something so funny it's a top 10 honorable mention. When working with me I want you to feel relaxed and walking away feeling like you had a blast. I'm a spectator for the most part. I like to hang out on the "out-skirts" and watch my subjects interact, especially when photographing children. I get so tickled when watching children interact with each other and when they discover something new. Being able to capture the expression on their tiny little faces is a great way to document a monumental milestone and deserves to sit on the mantel.
Often with large groups of people like families, I have to get involved a bit more and suggest certain poses but I still like to stay in the background to photograph who you really are. I want you to be able to look back through your photographs and see yourself and feel your personality jump off the page.By now you should have a decent understanding of how I work and if you decide that my style isn't what you are after, then I would be more than happy to refer you to a few other local companies that offer a different experience. My mission for my photography business is not about creating art for myself but for you, my client. I want to create things that YOU will appreciate and want hanging in your home for many, many years. I'm all about dirty faces, bare feet splashing in puddles, crocs, scuffed knees. These are real life things and moments and those are what I love to capture for you. That being said, I love taking my photos a bit further and performing artistic edits on them. For examples of that, please look through the retouching photo folder.I want to be remembered for "Creating your life in Art."
Please contact me today about booking your session and capturing this time in your family's life together at photog@

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Leading mobile chipmaker Qualcomm forecast earnings below expectations on Wednesday as competition in smartphones intensifies and shifts toward Asia, and its stock fell sharply.
San Diego-based Qualcomm is benefiting from strong demand for smartphones and a shift by network operators worldwide to a high-speed wireless technology known as long-term evolution (LTE), where the chipmaker is ahead of rivals.
But the market potential is attracting growing competition from smaller rivals eager to expand their mobile presence in Asia and other developing regions.
Qualcomm said it expects full-year revenue of $24.0 billion to $25 billion, up from its prior forecast of between $23.4 billion and $24.4 billion.
But investors focused on its full-year earnings per share forecast, which fell short of some expectations.
"You're seeing revenue upside but not the earnings upside you'd want to come with it," said Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon. "Whether it's because of competition or they're investing to stop competition, either way - it can lead to margin decline."
With investors concerned that Apple's growth may be slowing, shares of Qualcomm, which makes chips for the iPhone, have risen about 7 percent this year, less than the 13 percent increase in the Philadelphia Semiconductor index.
Smartphone shipments are increasing, but less quickly than last year. The global smartphone market is likely to expand 27 percent this year, less than the 46 percent growth last year, according to IDC.
Qualcomm's chips are not only found in high-end devices like the iPhone and Samsung Electronics' soon-to-launch Galaxy S4. They are also are used in lower-priced handsets popular in Asia and other developing areas that are expected to drive future smartphone growth as the United States reaches saturation.
Low-cost handsets weigh on Qualcomm's profitability. Manufacturers of lower-cost phones pay lower royalties for Qualcomm's network technology and also buy cheaper components from the chipmaker, instead of its top-tier offerings.
The growing importance of developing countries also means Qualcomm will face more challenges from Mediatek, Spreadtrum Communications and other chipmakers that are improving their technology and are happy to sacrifice profits in exchange for market share in Asia.
"When you're trying to stay on top, and you've got players trying to knock you off, you have to spend to stay there," Williams Financial analyst Cody Acree said of Qualcomm.
Qualcomm said it expects full-year earnings per share between $4.40 and $4.55. Analysts expected $4.54, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
It reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $6.12 billion, an increase of 24 percent from a year ago. It said revenue in the current quarter would be between $5.8 billion and $6.3 billion.
Analysts on average expected second-quarter revenue of $6.085 billion and third-quarter revenue of $5.883 billion.
Qualcomm said second-quarter net income was $1.87 billion, down 16 percent year over year. It said earnings per share were $1.06. Its non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.17, in line with expectations.
Shares of Qualcomm fell 6 percent to $61.80 in extended trade after closing up 1 percent at $66.00.

|Whittier Public library book sale
Uinta Chieftan November 3, 1883, page 3
Glad to have heard from a person related to this family. So glad to get to additional info on this family from them. After picking this bible up at a used book sale at Whittier Public Library's store I had wondered who the family was? There are no surnames listed in the bible. I was only able to find the surname after the US Census was posted on the Internet.
Wyoming Territory sounded so isolated I wondered if this family had much support when their first child died only a few weeks after his birth? It was nice to see later children survived infancy. The Uinta Chieftan obituary did mention the support of friends. Evanston was not as isolated in 1883 as I was thought. His father Victor Engstrum was born in Sweden and was a Jeweler and involved in the cattle business.
If you would like to know more about this family Find-A-Grave has more info. Godfrey's Tombstone and info http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=40221242

2008 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon - Supreme Performance For JK Wranglers - TechPosted in How To on April 1, 2009
Supreme Performance For JKSThe first lift system that Poly Performance designed was its Jeep TJ coil-over system, which was the first off-the-shelf kit of its kind. Since that time Poly Performance has continued to create innovative products for Jeeps and other vehicles, the latest being its Synergy line of suspension systems for the Jeep Wrangler JK.
The Poly Performance Synergy Suspension kits are offered in three varieties: Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3. This allows the end user to modify their JK on their own schedule and upgrade to the next tier as the need arises. The Stage 1 kit starts you out with some of the basic lift components but adds a front adjustable track bar and rear track bar relocation bracket along with progressively-wound coil springs. A rear sway-bar drop bracket is also included to permit use of factory offset wheels. The Stage 1 kit is offered in 2- to 4.5-inch lift heights to clear up to 37-inch tires. This is one of the unique aspects of the Synergy kits; you can start with the base kit and still fit 37-inch tires. You won't taste supreme performance until you get to the Stage 3 system but the Stage 1 is obviously enough to do the job if big tires are your only goal.
Poly's Stage 2 system ups the ante a bit more by including front and rear adjustable lower control arms, a front track bar relocation bracket, rear lower shock mounts, and a drag link flip kit. The Stage 2 system is available in 3- to 4.5-inch lift heights and will clear up to 37-inch tires. The Stage 3 Synergy System finishes what the Stage 1 kit started and supplies everything from Stage 2 plus front and rear adjustable upper control arms. Lift heights range from 3 to 4.5 inches to clear up to 37s. Also, for those who want to create their own stages of lift, each of the Poly Performance lift components are available ala carte, although remember that some are best used in conjunction with others.
In order to gain an impression of the Poly Performance Synergy kit we opted to sample the top-of-the-line Stage 3 kit. Though we only wanted to fit 35-inch tires we still went with the 4.5-inch kit. This would allow us some extra under fender space for up travel and also allow the option to move to 37s later down the road.
Once the kit was installed we were immediately impressed with its highway manners; the JK didn't react like a lifted vehicle-it felt like a plush factory ride. Even in cornering and braking the Synergy-equipped JK shined. While the feel-good highway ride was promising it wasn't until after some trail time that we remembered what the Poly Performance Synergy kits are designed for. The Stage 3 kit permitted so much flex that we were able to forgo use of the lockers in many situations since the tires never lost contact with the ground. On top of the ample flex qualities, the JK even provided supple ride and handling along the graded and pock-marked access road leading to the trail head.
The Poly Performance Synergy Suspension system delivers all and more to JK Wranglers. The installation is 100 percent bolt-on and can be completed using basic hand tools. Check out the photo captions for the rest of the details.

The Book of Love by Toni
Hi everyone... it's my turn to share a fun and easy tutorial on how to alter a book into a frame to showcase a photo of someone special. This is going to be a Christmas present for my mother as this photo is of her grandparents.... hence my great-grandparents.
This is a lengthy tutorial with lots of photos so for your convenience I have created a SNAPGUIDE tutorial to explain the process. But first let me share a few up-close photos with you.
This is the view of the top of the pages... nice and vintage looking.
This is a bookmark I created to place in the middle of the pages and the heart fits nicely in it's niche with beautiful texture and cracks.
The addition of the little roses just added that bit of whimsy needed to complete the project. Hope you enjoyed the photos, now grab yourself a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy the tutorial.

The Reflective Skin
Lanea Love tries out our sectional mirror room and reflects upon her voluptuous loveliness with a bottle of cream. And there's a lot to reflect on! Why, any man would be proud to have this tasty piece of eyecandy on his arm. Lanea likes fun dates. "Doing something out and being active. Trying something new and exciting. The last thing I want to do is hang out on a couch and watch a DVD and eat take-out," Lanea says. "Let's go to a nice restaurant so I can get dressed up and look sexy for you. Then let's go to a club and dance. Dancing says a lot about a guy, how he moves on the dance floor tips me off about how he'll be in bed. One of the things I really want to try one day is a zip-tie ride through a Costa Rican forest. That looks so exciting. I just need a guy to go with me! He can play Tarzan and I can play Jane!"

In Karate-No! Program and Drugs -- Medications, I wrote about some of my thoughts about drug and alcohol abuse, particularly how these should be avoided by Karate students.
In the second post, I tried to clarify, for younger readers, that when I write about drug abuse, I mean illegal drugs. I did not want children to think that they should avoid the medicines that are prescribed by their doctors.
I received an email from a reader urging me to further clarify my views (which I am very happy to do). I appreciate the input because it is important to be clear on this very important subject.
While it is true that doctors prescribe many useful medications for us, we must be very careful to follow their instructions very carefully. We must take the medications when, how, and how often the doctor tells us.
Also, it is extremely important that we only take our own medications. We should not take other people's medications. Other people's medication might be good for them (because of their illness or condition), but could harm us. For example, if your mother became ill and her doctor gave her a certain medication, you should not take that medication if you also become ill. It is possible that you have a different illness. In addition, your mother's medication was prescribed for her. It may be too strong for a child or may even be dangerous.
So, you should be careful to only take your own medication -- and you should not let other people take your medications either. The only person who should be giving medications to anyone is a licensed physician.
When we think of drugs, we usually think about the pills the doctor gives us. But other things can affect us. Alcohol is a good example. Drinking alcohol is like taking a drug. Smoking is also like taking a drug. Smoking a cigarette puts chemicals into your body. Even too much sugar can harm your body. It is important to eat and drink healthy foods.
There is also another kind of drug -- over the counter drugs. You can go to the drugstore and buy all sorts of drugs. It is easy, for example, to buy drugs to help you lose weight or even to gain weight. Just because a drug can be purchased does not mean that it is safe and will not harm you. Even legal drugs can cause problems.
And over the counter drugs (the kind you buy at the drugstore) can interact with the medications that our doctors give us. That is why it is very important to let you doctor know what kinds of drugs you are taking (even the ones you buy at the drugstore).
My own practice is to avoid all drugs unless they are really necessary. I do take two medications for my allergies. That is it.
At one time, I was prescribed medications for high choloesterol. I took them for a couple of months, but then decided that I really did not want to. I asked my doctor if there was any other way to deal with my high cholesterol. He said that through diet and exercise I could lower my bad cholesterol and raise my good cholesterol. So I got to work. I watched my diet and trained harder. As a result, I got in better shape and no longer had to take the cholesterol medications.
So, please avoid illegal drugs. Only take the medications that the doctor prescribes for you (and follow his instructions carefully). Do not take other people's medications and do not let other people take your medications. Be careful with the drugs that you can buy at the drugstore. Even legal drugs can cause problems. Ask you doctor (and parents) about this. Finally, even if you have to take drugs (because your doctor has prescribed them for you), ask your doctor if there are other good ways to deal with your medical problem. If it is possible to be healthy and avoid taking any drugs at all, that is the best.
Though Karate training, we can improve our health. But physical training is not enough. We must also make healthy choices in our lives.

Other states follow NWTC lead with mobile lab
July 14, 2014
From pbn.com: "Mobile lab considered for marketing, training" — Gerald J. Bronkhorst, 45, of Suamico, Wis., trains students from six high schools in northeast Wisconsin in an advanced-manufacturing mobile lab – a model Rhode Island educators are considering emulating.
The Iraq War veteran decided to attend Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay, Wis., to earn certificates in advanced manufacturing when he got back to the United States in 2006, and five years ago was hired by the college as a lab technician, he told Providence Business News in a phone interview.
For the past three years, he has worked as the mobile-lab technician with a few teachers and as many as 12 high school students at a time in the mobile lab, which travels about 50 miles within the school district and cost about $300,000, Bronkhorst said. The high schools pay about $5,000 for every two semesters of use, he said. Precise costs for the lab itself, a trailer hitched to a commercial grade pickup truck, and its operating costs were unavailable.
"If I can convince some of these kids to go out and learn a trade and get a job, that's a huge win," said Bronkhorst, the lab technician.
Rhode Island educators found out about a Michigan mobile lab just being implemented this summer and fall that is based on the Wisconsin model, and are actively exploring how such a vehicle might be used in connection with programs at the University of Rhode Island, the Community College of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College.
Chris Semonelli, one of several co-directors in the Newport County Mentor Co-Op, met on June 27 with URI President David M. Dooley to further the conversation. Semonelli said he focused on the collaboration between North Central Michigan College, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the Northern Lakes Economic Alliance, and a local manufacturer, Precision Edge Surgical Products Inc. of Boyne City, Mich.

As Los Angeles voters face the possibility of as many as three medical marijuana initiatives on the May ballot, several mayoral candidates have begun to outline their own plans to deal with the proliferation of pot dispensaries — an issue that has ensnared the City Council in countless legal tangles.
At a mayoral forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters last week, four of the five leading candidates argued for paring back the hundreds of pot dispensaries around the city. But Councilman Eric Garcetti said his first goal would be to persuade the federal government to reclassify marijuana as a medicine: "I will advocate that as mayor," he said.
Garcetti, who presided over many of the battles on the issue as council president from 2006 to 2012, said he would also urge state lawmakers to set regulations governing the distribution of medical marijuana.
"The courts say wildly different things because there has not been clear guidance from the state or federal level," he said. At the city level, Garcetti said, he would try to "keep access" while limiting the number of dispensaries. "You charge a fee so you have an enforcement mechanism, and where possible collect taxes" — steps that, he said, would free up law enforcement officers to focus on more serious crime.

Written by: Jeremy Baumhower
I can feel the cold in my bones. For the first time in my 38 years, a winter told my body that I am getting old. My joints ache from my new extra pounds as it appears my body was fully in hibernation mode.
The weather the last four months have been so terrible that Toledo finally received #1 status on a list; the Weather Channel ranked the Glass City as having the worst winter in 2013–2014. Yay? We're Number #1?
The last winters have spoiled Toledoans with their mildness. This year we were reminded of who we are and where we live.
On April 4th, we have the first definitive proof that time is moving forward and the cold winter days are in our rearview mirror. Our Toledo Mud Hens and the game of baseball return to Fifth Third Field.
Mud Hens' 2014 Opening Day will feel very different than any other first day of baseball we've ever enjoyed. This city has changed. The citizens have changed. We've all grown an extra layer of skin. We're tougher than we were a year ago.
The game scheduled against Louisville will be proof the city of Toledo survived the last 120 days.
Fifth Third Field will feel like somthing out of the Wizard of Oz. We will all experience the same emotions as the muchkins did when Aunt Em's house landed on the wicked witch, for us it was the wicked winter. Blizzards and Vortexes and Cold… No More! Blizzards and Vortexes and Cold… No More! Our yellow brick road begins at the corner of Washington and Huron and we will follow it through the Spring and Summer in hopes of getting to Oz/ Playoffs in Early September.
12,500 Toledoans will stand and sit in complete awe while staring at the green grass, wondering why our lawn is still brown. It won't be just the fresh air, the ironically ice cold beer and the sound of a ball hitting a wooden bat that makes us feel better, but that handshake and embrace from friends you have not seen since last seaaon. There will be no way around it, the topic of weather will be discussed more than the Tigers' off-season maneuvers on that first Friday in April.
Growing up Catholic we were required/encouraged to attend a weekend Mass. The "accepted times" were anything after 4PM on Saturday through Sunday night. My family attended the Sunday morning 9:30 service at St. Clement's. During a Mud Hens home stand, Friday and Saturday nights become a different kind of must-attend, near-religious event. Instead of Father Kirkland leading the congregation with "Amens", we have Manager Larry Parrish leading the way with "hit and runs". I am a Saturday night guy, that's what game my family attends.
The Mud Hens are not just a past time in Northwest Ohio, they are part of our extended family. Like many grandparents who spend the winter abroad in warmer states like Florida and Arizona, they return for the Spring just as our baseball heroes do.
The names of players change every year, but their stories rarely do. The Mud Hens' roster is filled with grown men chasing their dream of making it to the Major Leagues. Some players, like the city of Toledo itself, are working on their comeback; trying to reclaim a spot on the Tigers team through hard work and dedication. These men can be rehabing some injury, fighting Father Time and in some cases figuring out a way to lay off the slider or learn when to throw one.
This comeback player is normally the guy who will come out early to sign a ball, a glove or a baseball card, the athlete who learns the names of the fans who never miss a agame. These players are the ones who always receive the loudest cheers from us, the fans. When they succeed they have a magical way of making us spontaneously stand on our feet, yell their name and clap. When they fail, we seem to be the ones shouting some encouragement to them as they make their way back to the dugout.
Toledo has always loved the underdog, because that's what this city has become. This year we will be cheering again for Mike Hessman.
Hessman, the now 36 year-old all-time Mud Hens' Home Run king is returning to Toledo after signing a minor league deal with the club. The Tiger's brass needed a seasoned veteran to help guide their young talent through the ups-and-downs of the game, the Mud Hens needed an everyday fan favorite. They made the perfect choice. It could be an even better story.
Hessman is believed to have zero chance at making it to the big time once again. Baseball writers are saying there is no way, Mike's too old and strikes out too often. Doesn't that sound like the very way the critics describe the city of Toledo?
If Mike has a pulse and a bat he has a chance.
If the city of Toledo would remember how to swing for the fences, so do we.
Welcome home Mike. Welcome back Spring.
Let's play ball!

one whole head of cauliflower
2 - 2.5 cups of mozzarella cheese, grated (or whatever cheese you prefer)
3 eggs
dried basil
optional: garlic
prepare two cookie/baking sheets by overing them with parchment paper and lightly spraying with cooking spray.
grate the entire head of cauliflower into a large bowl. you could also use a food processor for this.
grate the cheese into the bowl as well, add the eggs and sprinkle in as much basil as you like.
stir everything together well with a wooden spoon.
now divide your "dough" evenly between the two baking sheets and use a pancake turner or something similar to pat it down flat.
bake at 450 degrees for about 10-13 minutes.
now prepare your toppings
I like to just add some marinara sauce, mushrooms, zucchini, onions, spinach and cottage cheese (instead of ricotta). Just depends on what I have on hand. Mix some more basil into the cottage cheese too to make it more flavorful.
when the crust is done, add your toppings and place back into the oven for another 5-8 minutes. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn't get burned.
that's it! super easy and a great way to get some vegetables in your kiddos ;)

Earlier this year California's biggest energy utility PG&E announced that they would purchase 200 megawatts of solar power beamed down from outer space starting in 2016. As out of this world the proposal may have seemed, it has recently found solid Earthly ground as the state's legislators have officially given this space venture the solar powered green light.
Through its power purchase agreement with Solaren Corporation, PG&E will be entitled to power generated from a first-of-its kind space-based solar project. The experimental technology will employ orbiting satellites equipped with solar cells ready to transform the sun's energy into electricity. The electricity that is produced by these cells will then be converted into radio frequency transmittable energy, collected at a receiving station in Freso, California, and finally be transferred to PG&E's power grid.
Solaren anticipates that their panels will generate 1,700 gigawatt-hours of energy per year (roughly equal to the annual consumption of 250,000 average homes) throughout the 15-year contract term made with PG&E. While an experimental project such as this seems far flung for California's Renewables Portfolio Standard program, the agreement was approved because it remains consistent with the state's objective of increasing its reliance on a diverse supply of renewable energy resources and of supporting renewable technologies. It should be noted that there will be no risk to PG&E, and in turn California customers, as the company is simply agreeing to purchase the power at a certain rate, if and when the project is ever up and running.

Butler police say a Lawrence County man stole a pickup truck from a store parking lot Monday because he needed a ride home.
But he didn't even make it out of town.
The alleged suspect, Jason C. Fronius, 36, of New Castle, remains behind bars on a felony theft charge.
The victim, a 61-year-old Butler Township man, told police that he had driven his 2010 GMC Sierra crew cab to the E-Z Stop on North Main Street about 10:20 a.m. He went into the store, police said, leaving his keys in the truck.
District Judge William Fullerton arraigned Fronius on a felony count of theft, and remanded him to the Butler County Prison on $25,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 18.

Health Debate In Pa. House Hits Partisan Divide
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A measure to add 85,000 lower-income adults to a state-subsidized health insurance program was prepped for a final vote in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Wednesday, but there were signs that deep partisan divisions could eventually doom the proposal.
The Democratic majority defeated many of the dozens of Republican sponsored amendments as they got the bill into position for a final vote in the chamber that could occur as early as Monday.
The bill, sponsored by Majority Leader Todd Eachus, DLuzerne, would expand the state's adultBasic program in an effort to reduce its current waiting list of 236,000. It also would add new coverage for prescription drugs, chronic disease management, preventive care and behavioral health.
Eachus said the bill would improve thousands of lives. The program currently serves 46,000 adults ages 18 through 65.
"We cannot, in good conscience, allow residents of this commonwealth to spend another day worried about what will happen to them and their families if they get sick or are injured,'' he said.
Money for the expansion would come from a 2 percent tax on nonprofit health insurance companies, a surplus in the state's fund to help doctors pay malpractice premiums and by reducing the reporting time for abandoned and unclaimed property from five years to four. The state also would be able to tap into new sources of federal funding.
Eachus' spokesman Brett Marcy said the state's cost in the first year would be about $20 million less because of additional federal money and changes in the way the program is structured.
Democrats held together in four hours of voting on the amendments, suggesting the bill is likely to pass the chamber next week. But it will face long odds in the Republican-controlled state Senate, which during the last session allowed a similar measure to die.
Successful amendments on Wednesday eliminated eligibility for foreigners who do not have permanent legal alien status and added a loan forgiveness program for new primary care doctors, pediatricians, obstetricians and gynecologists who agree to practice in the state for a decade.
Republicans noted the U.S. Senate was about to consider its own approach to widening health coverage.
"Why would we, as Pennsylvania lawmakers, be embarking on any health care or Medicaid expansion that necessarily relies on federal approval when the federal rules - indeed, arguably, the entire federal system - might be changed in a matter of months,'' said Minority Whip Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, said Eachus' bill relied too heavily on revenue that will not be available in the long term and said there was a better approach.
"We think that the most efficient use of the resources is to expand direct access to clinics rather than provide insurance coverage to the small percentage of those who are uninsured,'' Pileggi said.

Probably not – or at least not every day, because of growing concern about arsenic in food products made from rice.
In November 2012, Consumer Reports magazine published a report on arsenic in foods made from rice. Based on their findings, Consumer Reports scientists recommended that kids under age 5 not have rice drinks every day. In the United Kingdom, medical experts advise against children younger than 4½ drinking any rice milk at all because of concerns about arsenic.
If you do give your child rice milk, keep in mind that rice milk doesn't contain all the nutrients of cow's milk.
Unlike cow's milk and soy milk, rice milk doesn't contain a lot of protein. So if your child drinks rice milk regularly or instead of cow's milk, make sure he's getting plenty of protein from other sources such as meat, eggs, and legumes.
Check the label to make sure the drink you choose is fortified with vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12. Also make sure that the rice milk is whole-fat (not low-fat or nonfat), because fat is important for brain development in children under 2. Don't switch to low-fat milk before your child is 2 without your doctor's approval.
If you suspect your child might be lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy or soy, it's important to discuss your concerns with her doctor. For kids diagnosed as lactose intolerant, lactose-free milk may be a good choice.
