text:
Orlando – It was almost as if they were expected to apologize for still being here. Everyone wanted to know how it felt to lose Game 1 by 43 points, and when the Hawks kept saying, "It's only one game," the reaction was as if they'd plunged into deep-dish denial. But you know what?
It was only one game. And Game 2 was much better. But it wasn't good enough.
The Hawks showed Thursday they could play with the Magic for three quarters. NBA rules, alas, still stipulate four 12-minute periods. In the fourth period the Hawks did their usual road disappearing act. They saved it for later this night, but that's not much consolation when you're down 2-0.
Actually, the Hawks led with one second left in the third quarter. Then Jameer Nelson banked home a 29-footer in transition, and that didn't augur well. The fourth quarter began with the Hawks shooting jump shots, an even worse sign, and soon Vince Carter was flying through the lane and Mickael Pietrus and Rashard Lewis were hitting kill-shot treys and the Magic were up 19 points in a game they were sweating moments earlier.
And that's what made Game 2 even more distressing than the egregious Game 1. The Hawks gave it something approximating their best shot — or at least as a good a shot as they're apt to muster in a playoff road game — and still couldn't extend the Magic to the wire. They got 24 points and 10 rebounds from Al Horford. They deployed four centers to shotgun their fouls against Dwight Howard. They made 30 of 31 free throws, the miss coming in the fourth quarter.
And still: Magic 112, Hawks 98.
It's one thing to get blown out on a bad night. It's worse to have a chance after three quarters and then have none halfway through the fourth. It suggests the Hawks, for all their resources, are simply in against an opponent that has more — more ways to win, more guys to score big (four Magic men reached 20 this night), more of whatever is required to win in the postseason.
It's becoming clear that the Hawks, who are better than they've been this century, still aren't there yet. They won 53 games in the regular season and claimed the East's No. 3 seed, but for much of the postseason they've been too easily addled. The old bailout — "We're a young team" — no longer applies.
"We didn't have anything left in the fourth quarter," Mike Woodson said. And then: "Somehow we've got to put four quarters together to beat this team. We were a little bit better tonight, but you've still got to play four quarters."
Game 2 wasn't a failure of tactics. The Hawks positioned themselves nicely enough. They just couldn't finish, and that has become a major failing. The Hawks haven't won a down-to-the-wire playoff game since Game 6 against Boston in 2008,. They either win big or lose big. "We just didn't execute," Woodson said, speaking of the fourth period, and winning in postseason at some point must be a function of execution.
The Hawks opened the fourth quarter with Joe Johnson, who missed 11 of 16 shots, missing from the key. It was a good look, but it didn't fall. Then Jamal Crawford, who scored 23 points, missed twice on one possession. Then Marvin Williams was blocked at the rim by Carter, who hit a trey at the other end. By then the Hawks were headed home two games down and with no assurance they'll need to come back here for Game 5.
"Make no mistake," Woodson said. "We were better tonight." And they were. And still they weren't in it over the final six minutes. And that sobering truth doesn't suggest they're not tough enough or smart enough. It suggests they just aren't good enough.

If the Hawks would take out two things then they would have been in the game: 1) the lousy, lazy possesions where Joe over-dribbles then takes a fall-away 18 footer with noone under the rim and 2) the possessions where Josh Smith decides post seasopn possesions aren't as valuable as they truly are… only then will they be mature enough to win. Without home court energy, the Hawks (esp. Josh Smith) get whiny… and they will never win with that attitude.
Mark… can you get the stats of how they do with Iso-Joe and how many of those possessions start with under 8 on the shot clock?

Mark, tell me again why you predicted the Hawks in 7? While you're at it, please tell me what Marvin actually does? It's not completely rhetorical – he was the #2, I'd like to know.
May 6th, 2010

What happen to JOE??? Our leader hasn't reported for duty. there gaurds attack the basket our shoot jumpers. Marvin needs to man up & stop BEING SOFT.

Very solid performance tonight for the Hawks against a good team on the road – fell just a little short but showed some fight. They aren't going to win this series but nobody serious really expected them to anyway. Just put up a good fight and then we need to figure out what to do about J. Johnson and Woodson after the season. Sund is a good GM and will make the right moves as he has so far.
May 6th, 2010
11:26 pm
No offensive sets, we have no offense. But I believe the real culprit is all the switching through quarters 1-3. The Hawks are frequently flying all over the court trying to get to the open shooter. It's like they play 2 games in one as far as their legs are concerned. When the fourth quarter comes, tired legs, mental lapses, no adjustments. Defensively, they constantly play 4 on 5 making up for liabilities. This offensive scheme, game plan, lack of bench trust falls squarely on Mike Woodson. Joe Smith got no run tonight, Teague got no run. Now if he had played those guys more in the regular season allowing growth, these series, might have played out differently. For what Bibby has given, some please convince me Teague would have been worse if he was allowed to find his game on the court. The kid would have atleast been able to drive and kick and perhaps slow down Nelson. Again all things point to a lack of coaching. These guys are just plain tire in the fourth quarter. It's been this way all season on the road.

JDK- Because he's a homer, no other reason…
May 6th, 2010
11:27 pm
Another 4th Quarter debacle. I saw it coming. Did you?
The Hawks have no one on their team better than the 4th best player on the Magic. Lewis, Nelson, Howard and Carter are all better than their opponent at their respective positions.
It's just a talent mismatch and the coach doesn't make it better.
May 6th, 2010
11:28 pm
Recipe for improvement: (1) Fire Woody — he's incapable of leading this young, immature team. (2) Allow the worst superstar ever JJ to leave and spend that money on big bodies to battle Howard. (3) Trade Josh Smith for someone who gives a rat's @$$.
Unless the Hawks get rid of those three, they will continue to win 50 games and lose in the second round. Yes, it's better than 15-40 win seasons we've recently had, but unless you're in the running for a championship, who really cares?
May 6th, 2010
11:29 pm
Woodson you LOST —-BY 14 pts.!!!!!! and you tell the world you played better as if losing by 14 points is GOOD?
May 6th, 2010
11:30 pm
I'm just happy these Hawks are able to get to the playoffs once again after the JR Rider years.
May 6th, 2010
11:33 pm
As I said before the series, the Hawks have been owned by the Magic the last two years because they simply don't match up at all against the Magic. They will be lucky to win one game. However, the dumba$$ homers here actually took offense to that objective analysis and tried to actually argue, in a completely fallacious manner, that the Hawks could actually win this series. I hope this a lesson for people that you should stop being emotional and delusional fools, and start using logic and reasoning when analyzing any situation.

joe johnson is a good player. He has no heart at all. He fails time and time again to take
A game over. He dribbles too much for no reason. He really irks me in the fourth quarter
He has been here five years and has made only 5 winning shots. He often misses that shot than he
Makes it. We will never win a championship with joe as our best player period. Let him go
This summer and sign chris bosh and let marvin play shooting guard and move horford to pf. Then
We will have a championship caliber team. However woodson must go. He has taken this team
As far as he can. To get blowed out by 43 falls on the coach. The scheme the motivation all was lousy.
Then to come out and play good for 36 min and then in the fourth quarter you go one on one 8 str8
Times and go 1for8 what coach allows this. You see jamal missing his shots and you don't put bibby in for the entire 4th quarter. Mike woodson is a good coach for another up and coming team. But we need
Sumone else to get us over the hump. Chris bosh in atlanta makes us a tru beast bye bye iso joe. Imagine smoove horford bosh front line. I would put that front line against any in the nba. Add one more outside sharp shooter ala kapono to the bench and we will win a championship. If we keep
Average joe and woody or even one of the two we will go to playoffs every year but never win. That ish is as fustrating as not having a good team. Whooooosaaaaaa! I vented. Ty.
May 6th, 2010
11:34 pm
They did fight tonight but still "collapsed" when it mattered the most. Howard had 3 fouls at the half, and we come out in the 2nd half shooting jumpers instead of attacking the rim. Had he picked up another foul, we wouldn't have seen Howard until the 4th quarter. Joe is just too quiet, Marvin is still Marvin, Josh Smith sometimes acts like he's a point guard. Hopefully we can get them at home and try to at least make the series like the one we had in '08 against the Celtics. We still gotta be loud at Philips on Saturday.

I was there. The refs were Hawk fans. It was 5 against 8. But we prevailed. Please get me my broom.
May 6th, 2010
11:35 pm
give howard 12 fouls every time. hard to beat that. maybe home court will be the same
May 6th, 2010
11:42 pm
Mark, the Magic didn't win 59 games by accident. This team made the NBA Finals last season. What you said about the Hawks not finishing is true, but, teams that want to beat championship caliber teams like the Magic on the road, have to play at the top of their games for 48 minutes. The Hawks didnt do that.
After the displays in Games One and Two, it would be unrealistic to think that the Hawks are going to win this series. We could theorize that the Hawks will get their Mojo back at home, and win Games Three and Four to even up the series, but, even if they do that, the Magic still have Games Five and Seven in Orlando.
I will be surprised if the Hawks get swept. I think they will win one of the games in Atlanta, hopefully Game Three, but, after what I've seen and heard in these first two games, my prediction still stands, Magic win this series in Five.
May 6th, 2010
11:47 pm
Magic will win the next 2 games because they are just better. Unless Howard gets 4 fouls in the first quarter. That is the only way the Hawks win a game is if Howard fouls out or is in big time foul trouble.
May 6th, 2010
11:49 pm
Same ol' same ol' in Atlanta. At least Hawk fans want a championship team while Braves fans just wanted division titles. Never understood that…. Hawks ownership is main issue and it's not changing. These cheapskates wouldn't know a good pickup if it bit them. Sheldon, Speedy, and countless overpaid underperformers and owners still can't figure things out. Problem is they don't have the money to make up for their inept decisions.
May 6th, 2010
11:49 pm
Come on now Mark, I suggested the Hawk's were not big enough up front……Hubie Brown said, " basically you have Horford who is in a Power Forward's body trying to guard a center in Howard".
Now that may not be verbatim, but it is close to what he said tonight…….The Hawks are not big enough or deep enough……..
Where was Teague, as Bibby looked awful yet again guarding their point.
Why draft a guy in the first round if he can't play, or you don't think you can use him ?
If he is good enough to draft in the first round, he should become part of your rotation.
May 6th, 2010
11:50 pm
Folks-Here are the simple but unpleasent facts-
1. The Orlando Magic are the best team in the NBA and will win the title.
2. We are undercoached.
3. We have had a promising season with young talent.
4. We are where Orlando was 3 years ago-they changed coaches and look what happened.
5. Time to money up with free agents. Some difference makers available this summer.
I am happy with this season but wish it would have ended better. We will feel a little better when Orlando raises the trophy. They are just plain good and peaking at the perfect time.

Hi bloggers…JJ here. I really dont care about any of you or the city of Atlanta. Even though I am a three time Allstar, I will never become elite, because most crucial games I hog the ball en route to a 2-17 shooting performance and then go out and get hammered and smash hoes in the clubs.. I just want to play good enough to get a really good payday, and fade away like my average career is doing…Never just that great, and I cant wait to get away from Woody…
May 6th, 2010
11:57 pm
Marvin Doesnt Do Anything Cuz The Dont Past Him The Ball. He is just like Mo Evans "I Have To Make Plays For My Self When They Pass Me The Ball Because There Are No Set Plays For Me So I Get What I Can Get" And I Believe Thats What Marvin Does I Think He Would Be A Good Player If He Did Have Some Plays That Use His Talent But We Dont No What That Is Because He Doesnt Have Any Plays So He Gets What He Can Get And Sometimes It Dosent Look Good So We Say He Sucks. But I Will Say He Is Really The Only One That Will Drive Hard To The Rim When He Gets The Ball When The Other's Are Quick To Shoot Jump Shoots. That Are Not Falling. But I Dont Think Any One Ever Notice That. He Does Have A Very Good Inside Game Which I Think They Should Make Plays For.
May 6th, 2010

Same old Hawks deal….
Have an exciting season then crash and burn in the playoffs. I actually agree that the Magic are playing the best bball in the NBA right now and if they knock us out I will support them. You can't help but like Howard. They are a fun team to watch.
I think that hawklover did make a good point in that Orlando had a decent team with Brian Hill. Van Gundy takes over, the front office makes a couple of moves, and the team does a 180 degree turn. The Orlando offense was delivered by Van Gundy in terms of scheme.
We need to make a Coaching move. I know that Mark won't touch that topic with a ten foot pole but we need strategic upgrades. That has to start with the Coaching staff.
May 7th, 2010
12:00 am
Mark the Magic is just better than the Hawks. The Magic have Howard,whom the Hawks have no answer for , are getting better guard play , have a deeper bench and appear to be in better shape than the Hawks. Has Smith ever played a complete game? Has he always had this inability to get up and down the court? Pretty embarassing when you can't get back on defense consistently.
May 7th, 2010
12:01 am
Hi guys, I know I know…I am the most pathetic excuse for a coach in the NBA. I have all the talent in the world, but I lose because I cant run a play more complicated than a 5th grade level. The only plays I know are isolation, one on one…do you guys know a 2nd play I could call?? I really need to win a game this series, so please help…You see that dumbfounded look on my face dont you??? Its because I have no idea what the heck I am doing out there. I dont know how to score against a zone for the life of me, Im reading my coaching book 101 for dummies right now, so maybe by sunday I will be able to crack it…How did I get this job where I am so over my head?? Oh well, maybe next game if joe dribbles in the lane and scores, and then jamal shoots some threes and scores, and josh dunks the ball and scores, we might win….that is my gameplan y'all…I know Im a genius right….keeping it simple, for us simple minded folks…ATL REPRESENT!!!
May 7th, 2010
12:02 am
Mark, did you were at the game so you probably didn't hear Hubie Brown tonight……he basically said……"You have a guy in Horford who is in a power forward's body trying to guard a center in Howard."
This is my argument, they are not big enough on the front line.
Also where is Teague……Bibby look horrible trying to guard their point.
Why draft a guy in the first round if he is not good enough to get into your rotation, or you are not willing to put him in your rotation ?
Are they " Hoping and Praying "……… he works out in a few years ?
Terrible drafting is what this is all about, we have lousy depth, and horrible backups to Horford……….also Deron Williams was named 2nd team All NBA…..there will never be anything of the like that will be mentioned about either Marvin Williams, or Sheldon Williams.
Both wasted first round picks, and then what if Teague never blossoms into a legit NBA starting Point ?
May 7th, 2010
12:04 am
Observations from the game in Orlando-
Yeah, I drove down. The first 3 quarters were fine but you had a sense they were toying with us. The place was loud, really loud. I was surprised at how tight and noisy the amway arena was. I can see why they are building a new one. You can't hear anything.
Our guys played hard but we just didnt adjust. It was like they just down shifted at the begining of the 4th and that was that.
Their fans were pretty nice though. Nothing like what I have seen up in Gainsville.
May 7th, 2010
12:04 am
WAHHH WAHH IM A BIG BABY!!! Naw just kidding y'all its your boy smoove, you didnt see me this game, because I was in the backcourt all game yelling and crying at refs and holding my head cuz somebody hit me on it, so im not going to play….that will show them….I'll just cry and walk up and down the court….I WIN
May 7th, 2010
12:05 am
I never expected the Hawks to win, but maybe this series will open the eyes of the ASG. You cant hand this much talent over to a discounted coach, you get what you pay for with Mike Woodson Salary. I'm sure a Scott Skiles, Avery Johnson, Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Popavich, Byron Scott, Doug Collins, Any of these coaches could get more effort out of this team. IF, big IF's, move horford to the 4, move Josh to the 3, Jettison Marvin, add a Defensive Center, and another 2 guard, they could actually see themselves in the finals next season. Jettison Joe too, He's good, but not good enough to pay the type of money he think he will demand, he has shown that in the playoffs thus far
May 7th, 2010
12:06 am
Orlando is better. But Boston was better in '08 by at least the same margin, it would seem. They won the title, after all. The Hawks will give them trouble in Atlanta, maybe lots of trouble. We'll see.
May 7th, 2010
12:06 am
Atlfan said it pefectly…get rid of Joe and Woodson, and we have improved by 10 wins and become competitive immediately….
May 7th, 2010
12:08 am
But I Think Its Funny That Marvin At Time Pounds It In And Plays More Like A PF Then Josh Smith Who Plays Like A SF 65% Of The Time. Seems Like Josh Is Trying To Impress Howard And Show Him Up More Then Play BasketBall. If You Can Next Time Howard Has A Alley Oop Play Or A Pretty Good Dunk Look At Josh Smiths Face He Always Looks Like Damn He Got A Better Play Then Me. I Have Noticed That EveryTime They Play The Magic.*I Always Notice The Little Things* But I Beileve That effects Hoe Josh Plays His Game Sometimes Cuz Then He Will To Try To Do Something Fancy That Hurts Us More Then Helps And Gets Mad When It Doesnt Work And Stops Really Playing Hard For Awhile. If You Want To Impress Your Buddy Go Out And Send Him Home For The Season Instead Of Trying To Do Some Outstanding Highlight Just So You Will Look Better Then Him So He Wont Upstage You. Come On Josh.
"We Have Been Competting Since We Where Little We Always Try To Out Do Each Other Even When We Played On The Same Team And I Think It Is Always Going To Be Like That We Try Not To Let One Another Upstage The Other"
-Josh Smith
So Far Howards Winning 2-0
May 7th, 2010
12:08 am
We could take a self service approach for coaching and save some money. Either that or go down to the bowling alley and pick up someone with a cool shirt to take over.
I think the magic are stupid for leaving the O-rena. That place is not that old and has served them well.
If we make a COUPLE OF OBVIOUS changes next year, we will be just fine.
May 7th, 2010

So they've graduated now from young to Flawed. Fits the city profile I guess.
May 7th, 2010
12:11 am
They say the players are a reflection of the coach. When I see guys diving on the floor for scott skiles, but we cant even run back down the court to defend, that says something about the leadership. where are our back screens? motion offense? After game 4, I believe Kasim Reed should personally escort Woodson to the City limits and tell him to never re enter. The City should foreclose on his home and forward his mail and belongings to Philadelphia. Let them deal with him.
May 7th, 2010
12:13 am
The Magic will win by 15 on Saturday.
Monday, our Coach will come out wearing a wig (an Angie Davis style afro) and confuse the Magic…for the first half things will look better. Then the Magic will realize that Dr. J (aka Angie Davis) is not Coaching us.
Just like the Roadrunner and the Cayote…..the Magic will pass by us so quickly that our Coaching staff will still be calling for the four corner.

can't blame the lack of execution on Woody.
May 7th, 2010
12:15 am
I'm surprised you or Jeff has not done a piece on how JJ has been struggling the last few games in the playoffs.
He talked about wanting to be in the elite conversation, but he has been a big disappointment the last 5 games. Which is when he is supposed to rise up…and help the Hawks elevate their game…
May 7th, 2010
12:17 am
we got 2 games at home Orlando is a good team (home & ROAD) how can we defend our home court… show up for all four quarters… I think the pressure is now on ATL this loss is much worst than Tuesday's cause we fought so hard until it's like we had no more fight left in us.
I think this 4th quarter should teach us something about game 3 on sat to let us know that if we dominate like we did 1st 2nd 3rd quarter this game then we can carry that into 4th quarter I think the Hawks will then have energy cause their home crowd
I know we won't win this series but at least take the Magic to 7 games so the fans won't feel this season was a waste.
May 7th, 2010
12:19 am
You Know SomeThing Hawks Fans There Is Really 2 Bright Sides To This Like I Said
1.This Looks Like The Same Scenerio When They Where In Bucks County How They Got Blown Out The First Game And Did Good The2nd But Still Lost But Ended Up Winning A Crucial One(Only Difference Is These Are The 1st Two Games Not The 3&4th)
2. It Took Woody 3 Games To Make Adjustments And Figure Out What Was Going Wrong In The 1st Round. This Time It Only Took 1Game And It Almost Worked. So Atleast He Caught On Faster And Im Looking Forward To See What Adjustments If Any He Makes For Game 3.
May 7th, 2010
12:19 am
old mikey…Cant blame the lack of execution, but can blame the lack of discipline, lack of plays ran, lack of development (williams, morris, teague, law IV, etc), you can point out the lack of coaching adjustments (the things a lot of coaches do at the half). Point of note, if they cant execute, then they probably were not prepared for the game, thats covered in practice. And if they dont want to execute you sit them down, but as you see he allows Joe and Josh to throw as many on court tantrums as they wish

The First Dog by Jan Brett
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While not one of my favorite of her books, still, I could not help but enjoy and remain in awe of the talent of this incredible writer and illustrator.
Set in prehistoric times, this is the tale of the adventure of Kip the cave boy who while traveling home, is followed by a Paleowolf who travels with him and saves him from danger. In search of food, the Paleowolf patiently waits until the boy will share. Finally, knowing how many times he is saved, he shares and calls his friend dog.
The drawings are creative as always.
The First Dog is about a boy during the Ice Age who finds a dog and the dog saves the little boy from trouble and they become best friends. This book is good for the classroom because it teaches children about friendship. This is suitable for grades 1-3.
A great book for children set in prehistoric times. I think children would be very interested in this story about a young cave boy tamed a wolf and it became the first dog. Great to read when teaching about the Ice Age and pre historic time.
Kip is making his way down the trail to his home. Kip needs to rest so he stops to eat some woolly rhino rib bones. Every time Kip stops to rest and eat, a Wolf is near him begging for some scraps. Kip refuses to share with the wolf, but the wolf's keen senses are aware of danger. The wolf alerts Kip, and Kip makes it away from the danger just in time. After the wolf has saved his life three times, Kip realzies that he should share with the wolf. Kip makes a deal with the wolf: if the wolf uses his senses to protect them, Kip wil share his food. Kip decides to call the wolf "dog."
Jan Brett tells the story of the first dog in a way that children will be entertained and also learn lifes lessons and historical information. This story teaches children the importance of being aware of your surroundings as well as the importance of sharing. Set in the days of cavemen, Jan Brett takes us on an adventure with Kip, a caveboy and his new friend Paleowolf. Together they encounter many dangers that lead them to become great friends.

(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:29:40 -0400)
Kip the Cave Boy and Paleowolf each face hunger and danger on a journey in Paleolithic times; when they decide to join forces and help one another, Paleowolf becomes the first dog.

Thanks to state-of-the-art prenatal care, vaccines that have nearly eliminated deadly childhood diseases, and new treatments to cure almost any ailment, we've become somewhat complacent about our kids' health. Most of us assume that our children will live long, healthy lives — science will see to it. Well, the sobering news is that a long, healthy life is no longer a given for our kids. Earlier this year, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago made a frightening new prediction: Today's children may not live as long as their parents, because far too many kids are far too heavy.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, roughly 1 in 6 kids is seriously overweight. The obesity epidemic is unfolding across the country and it's taking a serious toll on our children's health.
The dangers are real. Overweight kids often have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, a triple threat that could add up to early heart disease, says Suruchi Bhatia, chief of the Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology at Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, California. Bhatia has diagnosed many overweight kids — including one 8-year-old girl — with type 2 diabetes, a disease that used to be seen only in adults. The girl had also hit puberty already, another side effect of extra weight. In many ways, overweight kids are growing old before their time.
But don't blame yourself if your child is already heavy — after all, our culture is stacked squarely against you. Fast-food companies spend $3 billion a year on ads aimed at children, schools put soda machines in the hallways, physical education budgets have been cut, and computer games are quickly replacing kickball and tag as favorite childhood pastimes. "It's not your fault. It's your responsibility to make things better, but it's not your fault," says child obesity expert Melinda Sothern of Louisiana State University.
The outside world isn't going to turn healthy anytime soon, so you have to make your stand at home. Susan Ryals of Butler, Alabama, used her motherly influence to great effect. Her daughter, Amber, is a healthy, confident teenager who plays forward on the school basketball team. But just a couple of years ago, Amber seemed headed for a completely different fate. In seventh grade she was 60 pounds heavier, a couple of inches shorter, and seemingly determined to eat herself sick. "I used to eat whatever we had," Amber says.
So how did Amber turn things around? She doesn't have a gym membership or a personal trainer or a nutritionist. But she does have a mother who decided to create a healthier environment at home. Susan used to be a nurse in a hospital, and she knew how extra weight could drag a child down and threaten her health. "I didn't want that for Amber," she says.
Ryals stopped buying sodas and high-fat, high-calorie snack foods. She also stopped counting on Hardee's to prepare so many family meals. She's a single mom who works long hours at a paper mill, but she found time to cook at home most nights of the week. She also managed to take long walks with her daughter. She never badgered Amber about her weight, didn't put her on a diet, and never made any foods strictly off-limits. "I never say anything about her eating," Ryals says. By creating a healthy home environment, she made it easy for her daughter to slim down naturally.
The good news is that you can help protect your child from the dangers of obesity. Nobody — not your child's doctor, not her gym teacher, not the director of the school lunch program, not even your child herself — has as much control over what she eats and how she spends her time as you do. And the best way to give your child a healthier, longer life is to get involved now. Whether you're pregnant, caring for a newborn, or raising a school-age child, here are the key steps you can take:
You can take steps to give your child a longer, healthier life before your child is even born. For starters, you should aim to keep your weight in a healthy range before getting pregnant. And once you're pregnant, regular prenatal checkups will help you achieve a healthy weight gain. (Most women of normal weight should gain between 25 and 35 pounds during pregnancy, but check with your healthcare provider to see what your ideal range is.)
Gaining too much or too little weight during pregnancy can affect your child's metabolism for many years to come. If you pack on too many pounds, your child may be programmed to put on weight, too. A 2004 study published in Pediatrics found that 11-year-olds whose mothers were overweight during pregnancy were at especially high risk for obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, and high blood sugar, a dangerous combination known as the "metabolic syndrome."
As risky as extra weight can be, pregnancy is no time to scrimp on food. If you start starving yourself, your baby will get the message that every calorie is precious. "The baby's metabolism gets programmed to save calories and gain weight," Bhatia says. Years later, you may still be skinny but your child might have a weight problem.
Here's another reason to keep your weight under control during pregnancy: Moms-to-be who are overweight are more likely to develop gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that shows up during pregnancy and can profoundly affect a baby's development. If not well controlled, this condition activates genes that make a child vulnerable to both obesity and type 2 diabetes. In fact, the growing prevalence of gestational diabetes helps explain why kids are developing type 2 diabetes at such early ages, Bhatia says. "As adults get more and more obese, diabetes is affecting a younger generation," she says. If a woman does develop gestational diabetes, prompt treatment can help protect her baby and prevent many problems down the road, she says.
With so much at stake, it's easy to become obsessed about your weight. But most moms need to spend less time counting pounds and more time counting servings, Bhatia says. By paying attention to portion sizes and eating a well-balanced, nutrient-packed diet, you'll be more likely to keep your weight in check and give your baby a healthy head start. For more information on getting the nutrients you and your baby need, check out our article on eating for two.
From the day your baby's born, you'll be making choices that will affect her health and, yes, her size. The first choice you have to make is one of the most important: Breast or bottle? Breast milk is clearly the nutritional winner, and it just might help keep your child from gaining too much weight. In fact, breastfeeding reduces a child's risk of growing up overweight by about 20 percent, according to research published in the October 2004 issue of the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders.
Exclusive breastfeeding for the first few months of life helps a baby develop a healthy, natural appetite, says Lisa Tartamella, a dietician at Yale-New Haven Hospital's Centers of Nutrition in Connecticut. A breastfed baby will suck when she's hungry and stop when she's full. Keep in mind that many of the flavors from the food you eat end up in your breast milk, so it's important to pay attention to your own diet when you're breastfeeding. Research suggests that by eating a varied diet, you'll be preparing your child to be a healthy, adventurous eater later in life.
When parents feed a baby formula, they may encourage her to finish her bottle, whether she wants to or not. So if you're formula-feeding, don't push your baby to finish a bottle or let her nurse on a bottle all day. You could be teaching her to overeat. Your baby will feed as often as she needs to, as long as you don't automatically offer a bottle every time she cries. Instead, learn to read her cues and determine whether she's hungry or wants attention. Your baby's doctor can advise you about suitable amounts of formula for your baby as she grows. See our formula-feeding area for more helpful tips.
As you introduce your baby to solids, keep in mind that the taste preferences she started developing in the womb are taking shape, and now's the time to steer those preferences in a healthy direction. Offer a variety of nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, and whole grain low-sugar cereal. Don't give up on a particular food if she rejects it the first time. Simply try again in a week or so. Your child may never like sweet potatoes, or she may change her mind several times and end up loving them.
Also, try and feed your baby in a highchair at the table whenever possible, rather than in front of the television or on the go. This is a great habit to establish early on because research suggests that kids have a tendency to overeat when they're glued to the tube. For more on introducing solids to your baby, read our article.
If you have a toddler, the best thing you can do is offer plenty of healthy options so he'll learn to make smart choices. From the time her son, Max, started eating real food, Tartamella offered him a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. "Sometimes I had to give him something ten times before he tried it," she says. Now, at 20 months, Max is a big fan of bananas, pears, peaches, squash, and milk.
The life of a nutritionist's son isn't all peaches and milk, though. Tartamella believes healthy eating doesn't mean you have to put the kibosh on all treats, so Max can have cookies and chips and other goodies every once in a while.
As you introduce your child to the wide world of foods, pay attention to portion size. If his pile of spaghetti is as big as yours, there's a problem. Keep in mind, however, that your child's appetite will come and go. If he's going through a growth spurt, he may want seconds or thirds. At other times, he may be finished after just a few bites. Little kids have a keen sense of how many calories they need. Trust him. If he says he's full, he's full. And don't bribe or reward your child with food. Instead, offer plenty of hugs, kisses, and attention.
Another health hazard for toddlers is juice. One-hundred-percent fruit juice has a lot of vitamins and minerals, but it also has about as much sugar and calories as sugar-sweetened kids' drinks, Tartamella says. Until they're 7 years old, kids shouldn't have more than 6 ounces of juice each day. Older kids should limit themselves to 8 to 12 ounces each day. And you don't have to give your child juice — it's not a required part of a healthy diet. Give your child fresh fruit instead, which will provide fiber and additional nutrients. But if you decide to give your child fruit juice, add a splash of it to a sippy cup of water. That way, he can enjoy the fruity taste without being overloaded by added calories and sugar.
As you wage war against childhood obesity, don't forget one of the key weapons in the arsenal: exercise. So ditch the stroller and head out on foot. Yes, it slows you down a bit, but you'll do wonders for your toddler by encouraging him to move. Better yet, walk to the park together and play tag or kick a ball around.
Finally, keep in mind that extra baby fat in a toddler usually isn't anything to worry about, unless he seems lethargic or has an insatiable appetite.
Once your child is 3 or older, it's time to start keeping an eye on her weight. If your preschooler seems unusually heavy, schedule an appointment with her doctor, especially if obesity runs in the family. To find out if your child's weight is in the healthy range, take a look at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's body mass index calculator.
Improving your child's relationship with food will be a crucial step in the right direction. Now that she's older, encourage her to start making more of her own food choices. With your guidance, she can dish up her own portions, and even help shop for groceries and pitch in with the cooking. But keep in mind that her choices will only be as healthy as her environment. If you surround your child with junk, that's what she'll eat.
To give her the healthy options she needs, you may have to make some changes in your family routine. Change can be as simple as serving low-fat milk or water at dinnertime instead of juice or soda. In fact, it would be even better to get rid of the soda in your fridge altogether. A 2001 study published in the Lancet found that each daily serving of soda raised a child's risk of obesity by 60 percent.
Rediscovering the family meal is another great way to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy habits. Dinners cooked at home are almost always more nutritious — and less expensive — than any value meal at a fast-food restaurant. When you cook at home, you have control over ingredients and portions.
As you help your child along the road to healthy eating, don't overlook one of the biggest conspirators in the obesity epidemic — television. Too much television is the "biggest single risk factor" for childhood obesity, according to obesity expert James Sallis of San Diego State University. Not only does it keep kids stuck on the couch, it gives them the perfect opportunity to snack on junk food. Just about any other diversion — playing outside, reading a book, doing homework — would be a big improvement.
So forget family movie time. Get outside and get moving instead. Harness your child's natural energy — go for a hike, toss a ball around, or play chase.
Above all, set a good example. Kids — even babies — watch everything you do. Go for a walk and take your children along. Eat healthy meals at home and elsewhere. Don't spend hours in front of your television or the computer. Most kids don't need nutritionists or weight coaches — they need a concerned parent and a role model.
Talking about food and weight issues with your can be like walking through a minefield. So we've come up with seven things you can feel good about saying to your child if she's carrying extra weight.

Shibuya AX 2011 110122 Minegishi Minami - Watashi wa Watashi (I am me)
Minegishi Minami is another very underrated singer in AKB48. Her mature yet delicate vocals are perfectly suited for this song, which describe perseverance and struggles. In fact, her performance is so flawless that we had to scrutinize the segment where she started crying and compare that to the CD version several times in order to convince ourselves that it was really live.
Yes, she is just that good.
Aki-P, please take note of this and give this girl a well-deserved solo.

Hubby & I rode on the bike trail today .YAY ! I went 22 miles, he went 24. Made good time & my mph's are improving . Still in hubby's dust , but that's ok... I'm doing great & I can''t compare myself to him. He is super fit & competitive so his goals are different than mine. As long as I keep moving & working at it ... I am pleased. today I was only about 5 or 6 minutes behind him. Sometimes I can stay with him for awhile. The most I've done is 5 miles... So s long as I can do it sometimes.... I am happy with my efforts ! I do have to admit though, I do have a much better workout when he is with me because I am determined to at least give it my all to stay with him a bit. When I go by myself, it's easy to just take it easier sometimes. So it's all good. Lots of people on the trail today.Lots of families, which I thought was neat . If I would just put th same amount of effort into eating healthy & in moderation as I do for exercise...I would be at goal weight !!! That part needs a lot of fine tuning !!!!! I swear I have even more A.D.D. when it comes to staying focused on eating healthy but I am thankful I enjoy exercising & I am capable of doing it & sticking with that part of it !!! I am going to keep working at it ! After today's ride..I have put on 163 miles on my bike since July 1st. I was biking all summer with the old bike too but I wasn't as excited about keeping track of miles on that one. I only recorded miles done for my workouts . Hubby suggested keeping track of miles on the new bikes..guess I thought that was a grand idea...now I'm obsessed about it. Go figure !
My hubby built me 2 more raised garden beds this spring ! Bless him !
My vegetables & flowers are doing so well now ! I have planted all kinds of great veggies. My peas & green beans are coming in great now & boy are they delicious ! Even my hubby , who isn't a veggie fan, really liking the peas & beans ! I don't know what it is but homegrown veggies are just the bomb ! They taste so fresh & yummy. It's just not the same taste as store bought veggies. I am growing , tomatoes, green peppers, basil, parsley, lettuce, butternut squash, zucchini , spaghetti squash , cucumbers, kale &the peas & green beans ! So far, everything is coming along fairly well. I had to buy a new food dehydrator because I blew up my other one ! It's so handy to do up some of the veggies that way . I freeze a lot too. I'm not into canning so much. That's a lot of work ! I now have no excuses for not eating good , rich vegetables !!! Never thought I'd become a little farmer ! I do enjoy it & for the minimal cost & effort it yields so many great healthy, cheaper vegetables ! YAY !!!

Hubby & I went for an awesome bike ride this morning before he went to work. I went 10 miles, he went 12. It was sweet ! 73.7 miles on my bike so far !!!
Oh my goodness ! I wan't motivated to do anything today . I was the best.slug.ever ! It was rainy half of the day , I lounged around after hubby left for work on the early shift today .I watched 2 movies, dozed off in my recliner . I didn't even workout today ! I made a few phone calls to friends. I did manage to meet a friend for coffee for about an hour, so I did manage to get cleaned up so I wasn't a total slob & then hubby & I had a date night ! YAY !!! I have to admit, I enjoyed my slug day ! I'm usually a busy bee . I should have worked out but oh well it's only one day . Working out is fairly easy for me to continue doing. I am truly loving riding my bike. Sometimes I go with hubby when his schedule allows. I do ride a lot by myself though. I have 55 miles on it so far, it's been a week. My eating has been out of control this past week though, I am not proud of that ! I have dropped the ball there .I need to refocus & get back on track with that ! Tomorrow, I will plan and eat better !

Oh my snazzy new bike is wonderful ! It's so nice ! It's quiet, comfy & smooth ! What a dream to ride it ! I am amazed how much difference there is between the new ones & our old ones ! It has to be at least 20 years plus since we have had new bikes ! I guess you do't realize how noisy & clunky & uncomfortable the old ones are until you get snazzy new ones ! We did ride 5 miles on the trail to try them out. After I came home I rode 3 more miles in the neighborhood. Boy do I think I am all that riding around, like anyone cares or even notices I got a new bike !!! I am acting like a 12 year old girl ! Now I just need streamers for my handle bars & noise makers on my spokes on my wheels ! HAHAHAHA !!! Hubby may not want to be seen with me riding then ! We went out for another bike ride after supper too.that was about 6.25 miles. I biked 14.3 miles today .
We went bike riding again on Saturday . We only went 15 miles this time, but it was still a great ride & workout. No ice cream treat on this route we took. I kept up with hubby better going out , but coming back, I sure did trail in his dust !!!! I did end up riding a mile faster the whole trip this time, so I was cool with that . The distances don't bother me a bit, but the constant speed.. like to keep up with hubby.... is difficult. I was having trouble with the chain on my bike which contributed a bit to the slower speed, but mostly ...I'm just not as fit as he is . Hopefully I will get better as we do it more often & I dump some more weight . Hubby must be somewhat serious about this biking thing.... he bought us new bikes today ! The other ones are ancient & falling apart ! So maybe the new, smoking purple bike will let me ride like the wind !!!! I can only wish !
I got rid of 3 more lbs. this week. I will certainly take that ! YIPPEE !!!! Have to stay on this focused & determined path !
I got my roller blades out today. I have never stuck with roller blading long enough to get good at it & it's probably not the best activity for me.I am about as uncoordinated as a cow on roller skates but I like it . It's a bit awkward , I worry about falling & getting hurt even though I wear all they protective gear they have. I'm so clunky ! Not a graceful bone in my body ! I only did it in my driveway, not sure I'm brave enough to hit the trail on my roller blades but maybe someday ! For today... I gave the neighbors a good laugh ! It was a good workout .
I'm dealing with some emotional stuff.... but I'm trying very hard to deal with that & still stay focused on this & keep moving forward & not to slip back into the muck and mire of bingeing & no exercise etc....... Life can't always be sweet & perfect. We do hit some bumps along the way but I have to deal with them. Because no amount of food is going to help anything... it only increases the awful obsession of overeating & then I feel even wore about things & myself ! MUST STAY ON TRACK !!!

We spent almost two weeks traveling by car through California this summer. We saw the farmlands in central California and explored three national parks — Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite. We camped, canoed, hiked and swam in rivers — all with only an occasional internet connection! (I am definitely recommending Curry Village in Yosemite for camping for those who don't know how to camp. It's kind of like the Disney World of camping. They

The Pigeon Creek Greenway Passage was recognized as the 2012 Trail of the Year by the Indiana Greenways Foundation at the foundation's sixth annual luncheon Tuesday in Indianapolis.
This is the first year the Indiana Greenways Foundation has presented awards for outstanding trail achievement and for trail leadership, said Foundation president Karen Bohn of Carmel. The Pigeon Creek Greenway was cited for its many features including a "beautiful riverfront" and "awe-inspiring vistas," Bohn said. The Foundation promotes the growth, enhancement and use of Indiana greenways.
The Pigeon Creek Greenway's 6.75-mile route spans five city parks and passes by the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science, the Pagoda, Dress Plaza and Casino Aztar. It stretches from the Heidelbach Avenue canoe launch on the north side to Sunrise Park on the Downtown riverfront.
The award made special mention of the Greenway's historical and educational aspects. It cited the Marchand Bridge Overlook and Shirley James Gateway Plaza off Ohio Street, and the many trail signs that tell the history of the city and its people.
"I was personally impressed by the large number of people on the greenway when I visited it," said Roy Robinson, the Indiana projects manager for the National Parks Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program. He presented the award to Denise Johnson, executive director of the Evansville Parks Department.

A small but concise wine list has something for all palates and our extensive Scotch and Irish Whisky list provides a perfect ending to your meal.

- great beer on taproxiDined on 9/25/2014the food was good, very close to the garden. the beer on tap had great choices, the service that we had was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Irish Pub near Penn StationJaydeeVIPDined on 9/19/2014My wife had a train into Penn Station arriving about 9pm and I was looking for a good restaurant that was close. Trip Advisor had a good review of this pub and since it was right across the street, we went here. We had the fish special and it was delicious. The beer was great, too (a must for an Irish pub!). I think this will be my go-to place to go before getting on the train or after getting off. The wait staff was prompt and helpful, but not obtrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quick and easy dining close to MSGJoeAllenGoodNightDined on 9/13/2014Chose Tir na nOg on a friend's recommendation and wow, were we glad we did! Convenient to MSG (across from back entrance to MSG). Arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation, no problem, seated right away. Hostess politely explained we had 1 1/2 hour time limit, which was fine with us as we were going to see a show. Drink orders were taken and served promptly, dinner order taken right away. After we ordered dinner we found out my brother and his wife were joining us....no problem, they couldn't move us to a bigger table but brought over chairs and we squeezed in. Food came out so quickly I thought "how could this be good?" but my salmon was perfect, others had burgers that were awesome and my pop has sheperds pie, not a bite left!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Celtic HorrorOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 9/13/2014Rude hostess, lousy service, very good food. Won't be returning.
- uj627Dined on 9/13/2014Met by enthusiastic hostess who seated us promptly and asked if we were seeing the Eagles concert. Waitress was Prompt, friendly, accommodating and did not rush us. Great burgers, ok mussels did not need sausage, nice salads. Overall pleasantly surprised by a venue so close to the Garden.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Near Penn Plaza...OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/4/2014Very hard in the hustle & bustle of Penn Plaza area to find a nice place for lunch...where you can talk & hear one another.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great locationfor lunchTime2dineDined on 8/26/2014Chicken bacon chipotle sandwich was delicious tender meat, tasty bacon with nice seasoning with good bread. Fries crunchy & well seasoned! My friend enjoyed the cheese burger & liked the cocktail drink. Bill was $50 before tips. Also came here few other times for business lunch & never felt rushed & food always comes out hot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Irish Pub FareSheil31VIPDined on 8/25/2014This is a typical Irish pub restaurant. The host is most welcoming and there are plenty of tables so one does not feel like they are in a bar. The food is good but not exceptional.Special Features:
- After show dinnerKindaHateFoodDined on 8/13/2014Calamari came out under-cooked, but that was quickly and happily corrected. Wife loved the scallops and risotto (swapped beets for mushrooms). Strip steak was fine, as was potato tart and veggies. Caught it just before dinner crowd, so it was mostly empty. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Convenient spot across from train. Easily accommodated two gluten-free diners. Would recommend, will likely return.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very NoisyDaveDManalapanDined on 8/7/2014The food and service were fine. It's one of the few restaurants near Madison Square Garden. they take reservations. The noise level is so high it's impossible to have a conversation.Special Features:
- a class jointwinoDined on 8/7/2014Seemingly iconic, requires some tolerance. Superb food and drink. Too small for comfort.Special Features:
- Great pub environmentKsmittyDined on 8/5/2014This place is a great pub environment with food that is way above your typical pub fare. It can noisy but that's part of the fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Convenient and friendlyEmjayDined on 7/31/2014The dry vodka martini didn't taste like the Grey Goose I ordered straight up; it was weak and lacked the consistency of Grey Goose. The tomato salad was awesome, and the scallops/risotto were very good, but bread wasn't offered, and there was not vegetable. Considering the price of the entree, we thought that was a tad chintzy. That having been said, Tir na nOg is a friendly and convenient spot that"s for brunch and/or lunch. I've dined there and had drinks there on many occasions when in New York and am certain to return. Our server was wonderful.Special Features:
- Excellent food; loud atmosphereAuntBetsyDined on 7/30/2014My friend and I arrived around 4:30 p.m. on a Wednesday for an early dinner (w/in a block of Penn Station for ease in catching an evening train). We were amongst the first few tables to be seated, but soon all tables were full and the bar area was overflowing with a standing-room-only crowd. By then, the volume in the restaurant was so loud that my friend and I were no longer able to converse. This could have been frustrating except that the food was so delicious and the service so appropriate that we made the most of this exceptionally good meal. Go for the food and the party atmosphere but be prepared for cacophony.Special Features:
- Terrific findShelzVIPDined on 7/14/2014We were looking for a place to eat near Madison Square Garden, and found this pub. It could not be more convenient to our concert at the Garden, so we gave it a try, and boy, were we glad. This will be my new go-to whenever attending a Garden event! The drinks were amazing - not watered down at all - the food was great as was the service. I highly recommend!Special Features:
- Slow serviceYumcaoVIPDined on 7/10/2014We had a frustrating experience. We had to hunt down a server after no one came to our table at all. Then when we mentioned that we had a concert so were on tight time constraint, nothing changed. We ordered drinks and food together - but then once the food was delivered no one came to check up on us. We had to hunt someone down for our check as well.
- Interesting interiorAuntieemDined on 7/8/2014I was fascinated by the carving and design of the interior. Food was great although the noise was awful.Special Features:
- PUSHY HOST/MANAGERNYCNATIVEDined on 7/8/2014We took my mother-in-law here to eat before a concert at MSG. Our reservations were at 6pm. We enjoyed dinner, our server was very nice and at 7pm on the dot the host/manager ( an Irish older man) came over and asked us to wrap it up because we booked our reservations on OPEN TABLE and that only allotted us an hour to eat. I was appalled. We had already asked for the check at that point but to have someone come over and basically tell you that you needed to leave was something that in all the years of living in NYC has never happened to me or my husband. I will never eat there again before a show at MSG.
- Pre MSG concert finddisppointedDined on 7/7/2014Tir na nOg is our favorite place to eat and have a cocktail or two when arriving to NYC from NJ. The food is very good and the Irish staff are very, very friendly. We have never had a bad meal there. Good wine list, great steak, salmon, fish and chips, corned beef sandwiches, friendly bar tenders. Great pre concert and the Garden place. Right across the street from Penn Station.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Shepherd's PieBeachsideDined on 7/2/2014Noise level was distracting, but our table was waiting for us. Drinks came quickly but bread wasn't served until after our food arrived. Shepherd's Pie was yum and. Read basket very fresh.Special Features:
- graduation lunchpatmsDined on 6/24/2014We were a group of 7. The food was superb... the mussels with the fennel was outstanding, and the service was perfect and attentive. We loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just a barTJR2Dined on 6/21/2014We had been here a few times before and it was good. This time was just pretty awful. First, we got a phone call to confirm our reservation. The woman stated that we would have to eat quickly because our reservation was for one hour only. They stated that they were very busy and needed the table. This was before we even got there. The waitress was bland, the food was boring, the service? what service? It's a shame, used to be a fun place to grab a bite before a concert or before catching a train home. Too many other good places to go, dont waste your time with this one.
- MenubuninesslunchDined on 6/10/2014Great traditional Irish and Salads. Great fish dishes as well..... Great business lunchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 205 reviews are from the Tir na nOg Irish Bar & Grill - MSG reviews archive.
- Love this placejaco55Dined on 5/27/2014TirNaNog offers a great atmosphere where friends can meet to eat and enjoy each other's company in a non hurried way Service is attentive, food is always good and prices are reasonableSpecial Features:
- Wonderful Shepard's PieNJdinerDined on 5/14/2014Had dinner at this Irish Pub after a Broadway show and on the way home. The restaurant is across the street from Penn Station (Madison Square Garden) so a perfect stop before getting on the train for the ride home. I and my companion ordered the Shepherd's Pie -- the real thing made with lamb. It was great. Service was very attentive. The place was very busy with an energetic bar crowd. Lots of draft and bottled beers on the menu. No sports events were scheduled for the Garden this evening -- I can't imagine how busy this place must get before a Nicks or Rangers game.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful evening with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/9/2014The food and service were excellent. There were 12 of us and we all thought it was a great place to have a group dinner. This made me feel good since I recommended it. All had a wonderful time.Special Features:
- Very good near MSGSassafrass88Dined on 4/30/2014We were seated right away and had lovely, patient service. The food was excellent, but it was a very small menu. Would have liked more veg. It was VERY loud and crowded and hard to carry on a conversation.Special Features:
- Restaurant Great, Reservation issueOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/30/2014Made reservation, got confirmation, but not in the restaurant's system (they showed me their system). They honored it because I had confirmation with me.Special Features:
- MSGqwertyDined on 4/23/2014Pub atmosphere conveniently located if you are going to an event at Madison Square Garden.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- surprised!arloDined on 4/23/2014Service was very professional at this restaurant and the food was very delicious. I was happily surprised.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/23/2014Could use a little more selections on menu, but food was good
- Good bet for Madison Square GardenkcqbinVIPDined on 4/20/2014We were taking our family to Madison Square Garden Theater on Easter Sunday. There are not a lot of choices for restaurants in this location. We weren't expecting much but were surprised and pleased at the quality of the food we were served. The food is simple but the quality is excellent. We were all helping ourselves to the marvelous french fries on our son's plate. They graciously prepared french toast for our granddaughter which was not on the menu. I enjoyed my salmon salad and my husband enjoyed his blackened chicken salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunchhughorDined on 4/19/2014We had a great lunch with fine food and friendly service. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Pub Grub and More!VickyXDined on 4/18/2014Had an early dinner on April 18th prior to the Billy Joel concert at MSG. This place was mobbed. We had shepherd's pie and fish and chips along with a seafood soup and a mushroom goat cheese tart. Everything was delicious. The music was loud and the crowd chatter was louder... as long as that doesn't bother you... you will love this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mahi mahi deliciousKellyann1Dined on 4/18/2014Had the Mahi Mahi..perfect. my husband had the Fish and Chips well prepared. .crispy FF. Food is excellent but the noise level is over the top. Maybe we'll try lunch next timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kicking it Old SchoolNativeNewYawkerDined on 4/11/2014I've visited Tir na nOg many times over the years and it never disappoints. The food is very good (Shepperd's Pie is tops and the Roasted Chicken is very good) and the service is friendly and very attentive. The location, across from Penn Station and MSG, make it an ideal spot to connect with friends after work, before a commute, before and after a game. Good selection of Beer's and the bar is always vibrant but not too loud. The atmosphere is still intimate and you can have a conversation without yelling. Definitely not pretentious as many of the bars in the area are becoming, it just is and...that's a good thing. Cheers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Irish Pub, close to MSGRichandCathieDined on 4/8/2014Found Tir na nOg online, atmosphere was excellent and very close to MSG. Great for before the "big game". Service was pleasant, the menu flexible for my vegetarian mate. Price was very reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Irish PubPhillnDined on 4/5/2014made a reservation on open table an hour before. Went there before the rangers game. the place was packed! I got a Guinness immediately. they got us seated & served promptly. Had the sheperds pie and my wife had the scallops. very good. excellent service, good food! Located across the street from MSG. I will make it my destination before any event at MSG!Special Features:
- Great food.Lou59Dined on 4/4/2014We all were very pleased with our choices of entrees. I recommend the fish and chips.Special Features:
- Not the best areaOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/29/2014I was disappointed. Clearly quiet for a Saturday night. Had to move our table beaches a band started setting up right next to us. The food was typical bar fare but tried too hard with items like tuna tartare. This was served with Pringles!

Reddit is killing SOPA.
Members of Congress and their staff have grown used to scouring the Web, Twitter and Facebook to see where voters stand before finalizing their positions. But the heated debate over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) has turned the social news website Reddit into an unlikely rallying point for opponents of the bill.
"[SOPA] would kill Reddit," Reddit general manager Erik Martin told The Hill. "We're a platform so normally we would not take a stand on any political issue but this one would end our ability to run the site."
The website where users submit and vote for links has a proven track record launching online memes and viral videos, but the specter of SOPA has turned the community's attention squarely toward Washington. The results have been eye-opening for Washington and Silicon Valley alike.
SOPA would empower the government and copyright holders to obtain court orders forcing search engines, domain name registrars and other Web firms to sever ties with foreign websites deemed rogue. The bill has strong support from the content industries, which argue foreign piracy is sapping revenue and costing the nation jobs.
"This definitely the first time we've seen something like this, that's been written about in the national headlines daily," Martin said. "Reddit was much smaller [in 2008], a different animal."

New Balance has never been afraid to blend some of their new technology into their classic sneaker models. They're doing that quite a bit for the new "Summer Solution" collection – the group features the New Balance 996 rebuilt with the Revlite technology and an updated New Balance 574 that's got the Minimus kit on the bottom. Of course if you can't get on board with those remixes, there is a dosage of straightforward New Balance 574 style in there. Continue reading to see each of the sneakers and then let us know if you're hoping for a stateside arrival on this group.

Really weird, because it felt so real.
I feel like im so in love with that man in my dreams.
Oh, god. I just love the feeling of being in love though the possibility of being hurt is there.
And it almost made me occupied thatbI cant focus on doing my reaction paper, and kept on thinking that someones waiting for me to text him or something.
I just love way he hugged me, just the way I wanted to be hugged.
He is so sweet, the way he kissed me in the forehead,
I just wish it was real, I really do. ♡♥♡

I really hate the fact that I almost always fall in love or like someone who ends up hurting me, it happens most of the time and that sucks.
Is it so hard to tell the truth?
You could have told me, no, you SHOULD have tolnd me when I asked you, I'll fucking understand,.
You know what is bothering me?
We're friends and what you've done is fucking below the belt.
How could a person someone like you do that to A FRIEND.
Screw you"!!
A birthday greeting from Kimberly. She knows how to make my day : JERIC TENG hahahaha. My baby love :D
photos from the collage we've done so many years ago. Missing nanay and tatay so much.
Sobrang saya lang talaga ngayon!!! . Medyo nakaka-stress yung midterm and result ng game 2 ng San Mig Coffee,but that's not enough to spoil my day. Matagal din kaming di nagkita ni Ria,my best friend. I think four months. kaya sobrang nakakagaan lang ng loob kanina na kahit matagal akming di nagkita at nakapag-usap,everything went well. Di katulad noon na may awkwardness. I think,na-conquer na namin yung gap,na nabuo between us.
Ang saya lang kanina,kase ang tagal naming nagkwentuhan. Bumalik yung daldal namin sa isat isa. tapos nagawa pa namin yung pangarap namin,to shop dresses. Though hindi naman talaga dress yung nabili namin. haha. Atleast we've done something we've been wanting to do :)) I'm just so happy right now :DD
Interview with Dean Evasco for the docu contest about BP 344. Where we discover his "makulit" side. and sadly,it's when we were informed that sir Mike has decided to leave PLM. nakakalungkot lang.
"I still think that maybe the "afterlife" is just something we made up to ease the pain of loss, to make our time in the labyrinth bearable. Maybe we are just matter, and matter gets recycled"
Roomies :")) My groupmates for two major plates. YAY for Hell week is coming :((
feel so down right now. I hope Icould talk to someonee who would understand me.
or maybe I just need someone who would be so willing to listen to me,to all of my rants and nagging how sad this life is.

- 3 navel oranges
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 large skinless, boneless
- chicken breast halves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin
- olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup canned chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- Trim tops and bottoms off 2 oranges. Using a small, sharp knife, cut off peel, removing as much of the bitter white pith as possible. Working over a bowl, cut in between membranes to release orange segments. Squeeze juice out of membrane and squeeze remaining orange to get 1/2 cup juice. Set aside segments and juice separately.
- In a large, resealable plastic bag, combine flour, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Add chicken breasts and shake to coat; shake off excess flour.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skinned side down, and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and cook until chicken is just firm to the touch, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate.
- Add onion and wine to pan and cook, stirring, until wine is evaporated. Add broth and reserved juice and boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by half and onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper.
- Return chicken to skillet and cook, turning to coat, for 1 minute. Transfer to plates. Add reserved orange segments to sauce, then spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle parsley on top.
