Autism Signs Moms Need to Know
There's growing evidence that early intervention and persistence can make all the difference.
It's not as uncommon as you might think—a Mom is concerned about her child's development but she's dismissed by her doctor. However, there are some signs that you can observe that will tell you if your child needs a proper evaluation.
A delay in a child's development could signify autism, according to the CDC. Here are some important milestones for your child:
At 12 months:
Enjoys imitating people while playing
Reaches sitting position without help
Responds to simple verbal requests
At 2 years old:
Demonstrates increasing independence
Walks alone
Begins make believe play
At 3 years old:
Sorts objects by shape and color
Use 4 to 5 word sentences
Turns book pages one at a time
"Red flags" that require immediate evaluation:
No babbling, pointing or gestures by 12 months
No single words by 16 months
No two-word spontaneous phrases by 24 months
Loss of language or social skills by any age
For Moms who suspect their children have autism, pediatrician Dr. Gwenn says, "Don't panic. There are a lot more resources for children who have autism. Not all autism dooms a child for a poor quality of life. Get an assessment. With love and attention and early intervention these kids do really nicely. Embrace it and say, 'Now we're going to find a way to help our child to live the best life possible.'"

Thank you so much for this information. The more we continue to learn about autism, the better quality of life we can provide our kids!
My son was on the spectrum at 18 mos and we started early intervention. He's doing fantastic at 4 years old and I know therapy has been the difference. Talk to your doctor if you're worried. And if you're doctor doesn't listen, find another doctor!
I love Dr. Gwenn's comment - useful to parents and respectful toward autistics. Thanks!
my stepson is a high functioning autistic. At six, he is displaying a lack of appropriate social cues, minor babbling, and walks on his tip toes. Aside from this, he is a normal, happy boy. We have taken steps to draw him into our world so he doesn't retreat into his so much (I've been in his life since age three) and the progress has been amazing. Mothers….your children are wonderful and valued members of society. Autism doesn't mean your child is wrong, it just means their brains work differently. Have patience, and know that your love and support can make all the difference. I recommend "Autism: The Musical" for anyone curious about the needs and abilities of autistic children. Love them, though…no matter what. I do.

Rule change confuses Marlins' Nolasco
By Howie Rumberg, AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK -- Florida Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco was charged with a ball Wednesday night when he tried out a new rule that allows pitchers to touch their fingers to their mouths while still on the mound, and got it wrong.
Nolasco licked his fingers while standing on the pitching rubber with New York Mets cleanup hitter Mike Jacobs at the plate in the first inning.

Nike founder and CEO Phil KnightThe friends, family members and colleagues who spoke at Joe Paterno's memorial service faced a unique, unenviable challenge: To appropriately pay tribute to the legendary Penn State coach in the wake of the scandal that ended his career shortly before he died from lung cancer at the age of 85.
Thankfully, Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight was there to lead the way. His defense of Paterno was more than heartfelt, beyond eloquent.
His words made a valid case for, if not Paterno's innocence, his genuinely conflicted state:
"It turns out [Paterno] gave full disclosure to his superiors, information that went up the chains to the head of the campus police and the president of the school. The matter was in the hands of a world-class university, and by a president with an outstanding national reputation."
Knight continued:
"This much is clear to me. If there is a villain in this tragedy, it lies in that investigation and not in Joe Paterno."
More from The Stir: Joe Paterno's Legacy Should Reflect Both His Victories & Mistakes
Of course Paterno could have done more to help Jerry Sandusky's victims. But Joe Paterno wasn't the only authority figure at Penn State who could have done more. President Graham Spanier was also fired as a result of the scandal, but Spanier is hardly the household name Paterno was. And so the majority of the blame fell to the disgraced coach.
Judging by the standing ovation Knight received, there were -- and are -- many who feel Paterno shouldered more than his fair share of the guilt. Most of all Paterno's son, Jay, who shared the last words he whispered to his dying father:
"Dad, you won. You did all you could do. You've done enough. We all love you. We won. You can go home now."
Have your feelings about Joe Paterno changed since his death?
Image via msnbc
Breaking sports news video. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL highlights and more.
Well said GMM.
And I can honestly say that my feelings about JoePa have NOT changed since his death, because I have always felt there was a rush to judgement by an administration that was keen to scapegoat the most visible figure in the situation.
Rest in Peace, Joe.
Totally agree with WaltzingMtilda and GMM. GMM said it best.
he DIDN'T do all he could do, he certainly didn't do ENOUGH and i don't know how he went to sleep at night. he should have done everything in his power to make sure it stopped. he should have gone directly to the police and made sure something was done about it. make noise until the abuser is behind bars. this guy makes me sick. anyone who supports this asshole should be shot. so what if he's a great coach? he's a horrible human being and is now where he belongs. sandusky should join him. the sooner the better. only his demise should come about by way of repeated anal trauma. every single person who was involved in this should be in jail at the very least. they looked that guy in the face every day, knowing what he did and continued doing. sick sick sick. i have no pity for anyone but the victims. and paterno is no victim.
GMM's tempered assessment of Paterno and explanation of sexual abuse does not include the second, and equally (if not, more) important component: BETRAYAL. There's always someone in authority that knew, and didn't follow thru 'til the INNOCENT ones were moved out of harm's way.
YES, he did do his minimum required reporting. YES, he's a product of his generation. But he knows in his heart of hearts he fell far short of what was RIGHT. THAT is why he CHECKED OUT. He could not face what was to come. Does it negate his awesome rep and record as a sports coach... NO. That is separate, and has NOTHING to do with HIS part in why the years of damage to young lives and their families went unchecked.
PS: I think he was diagnosed earlier with lung cancer, but only publicized it on advice of his attorneys for the intended effect it clearly had.
PPS: We need to stop idolizing sports figures and their institutions. It is the same rampant hypnosis that makes it easy to draw parallels to generations of Catholic Archdiocese abuse cases.
Joe Paterno is no saint. He cared more about his job than the well being of fellow human beings. He went and told his superior so he had something to soothe his conscience when it pricked him at night. It was easier to say 'I did what I was supposed to do, it's out of my hands now,' and look the other way than it was to do what was right. His death does not change that he decided to take the easy way out and was a coward. His ambivalence caused just as much harm as the man who abused those children, and to pretend anything else is disgusting.

We had the Airwalk skate team out in Shanghai for the Kia Extreme games. Unfortunately we couldn't make the trip, but we were lucky enough to have Tulio filming the whole thing. Check out this sweet little edit he put toghether of his fellow teammates ripping up vert as well as some of Tulio's runs that landed him third place in the Street competition.

China is a lucky place for Tulio as he always seems to podium when he competes in the Kia Extreme Games. This year he is taking home the bronze medal in the street contest. Team Airwalk is racking up the medals!
Tulio Oliveira China Tour Video
Tulio Oliveira has already been to China three times this year. That's a lot of Kung Pao Chicken, which coincidentally we're now craving. Lunch plans aside, Tulio recently put together this little edit from one of his trips there. Take a minute to watch as he shreds the streets of Shanghai.
Tulio Oliveira's Signature Shoe
Our South American street skater Tulio Oliveira has his first pair of Airwalk signature kicks droppin' later this month. Tulio's already been shredding up Sao Paulo in these and absolutely loves them. Right now these are only available down in Brazil, but that may change soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
Tulio Tears up NY
In Mountain Dew's skate video series, Back to the Boroughs, Tulio Oliveira and a few other choice skaters tear up NY one borough at a time. This newly released episode features them in Queens. Next up – Manhattan.
Tulio on ESPN again!
We're so happy to have Tulio as a part of the Airwalk team because let's face it, the guy is killing it. Make sure to watch ESPN later today to catch the full video premier from his trip to Barcelona.
Nice work Tulio!

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. -- The Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service said it has had its third horse rescue operation in three months. In each case the horses were victims of animal cruelty.
The largest case happened in July of this year when the agency took 26 horses from a ranch in west Spokane.
SCRAPS said they are down to 10 horses that still need to be adopted. Many of the horses are young and easily trainable. They said the reason they are having to seize more horses than normal is because many people cannot afford to take care of them.
"I think a lot of it is the economy, right now the cost of hay has grown, gone up significantly, people are struggling, they don't have jobs and they have theses animals they need to find homes for," said SCRAPS Field Operations Manager, Nicole Montano.
Anyone interested in adopting a horse should call SCRAPS at 509-477-2532 or visit their website.

Years before he became a Househusband of Hollywood, Charlie Mattera made some mistakes. He robbed banks, got in gun fights, spent a long stretch behind bars.
Now he's wised up. He's persuing an acting career and raising his newborn son while his psychologist wife brings home the bacon. He's also taking child-rearing advice from his BFF, Ryan O'Neal.
You know, the awesome daddy who was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after a playful scuffle with son Griffin (charges were dismissed, OK?) and who then bonded with son Redmond when they were arrested together for felony possession of methamphetamine, and then hit on daughter, Tatum, at girlfriend Farah Fawcett's funeral.
Good luck, Charlie!

DOVER, Del. - A chemical leak at a local YMCA, lead the building to be evacuated on Thursday morning.
Dover Police say they along with DNREC, the Dover Fire Department, and several other agencies investigated a chemical leak at the Dover YMCA building. Police say they received the call about the incident, just before 11:30 AM, and responded to find the leak contained to the building's basement.
The investigation reportedly showed that a delivery person put the wrong chemical into the wrong tank, mixing muriatic acid with chlorine acid. The building was evacuated, and the YMCA closed for the day.
Officials were able to clear to leak, and give the all clear for the building, but the YMCA will remain closed until Friday.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Quoth the Hortus:
"The only change to pet threat in 2.4.2 is that growl no longer gets bonus threat from buffs to your pets AP (such as charge or blessing of might)."
This doesn't imply that the Pet's AP has no affect on growl. It only means that AP from buffs on the pet won't affect the ability.
It may be the case that Pet AP has nothing to do with growl's threat, but that's not something you can conclude from what has been said.
To be clear, I'm pretty sure that portions of my data are faulty. However, having said that, there is still evidence that something is -- for lack of a better work -- wonky with Growl.
Myself, Nimizar and Ashraf have been coordinating on the WoW forums with our testing, and although we've had to throw out portions of our data, what we have left still seems to indicate that Growl is scaling with pet AP on the PTR. But investigations are ongoing, and anyone who would like to help gathering data is welcome to join us. :>
I tell you -- setting everything else aside, this would be alot easier if Blizzard was a bit more forthcoming about how things are supposed to work.
It's true it would be nice if Blizzard could be more forthcoming, but at the same time I can understand why they aren't.
The sheer number of mechanics, and how frequently they're tweaked behind the scenes, would require a cadre of full time staff to keep updated properly. To boot, the vast majority of populace doesn't delve far enough into the game mechanics to make use of more than [/roll]% of the information.
I'm okay with them looking at that situation and deciding it isn't worth their time, but it'd be nice if when the CMs answered game mechanics questions they were a lot more specific with their language. Half of forum explosions seem to come from CM posts where it's easy to misread, and hard to figure what interpretation is correct.

Blaow, knock your whole car window out till ya eyes white out bitch lights out
Got you dead on arrival at your service on Saturday your whole family carry bibles
Got the whole building nervous, they turn around see me walk up in the service
I wrote your eulogy on toilet paper, right out in the rain
Niggas got nerve, well I'm your novacane
This is fire and brimstone
Kill you with fire and brimstone, uh
This is fire and brimstone, uh
I'm a Mercedes man, a late 80's man
I guess you could call me the perennial ladies man
Got some really rich friends and they all really like me cause I really pitch trims
Sometimes when I'm bored I kick it with dumb folk
They all really hate me like rottening egg yolks
I love to rub it in because I'm not a proper fit for your world of bullshit
You miserable mutt minds flawed by design
You'll never have the temperament to experiment with the benevolent
You're irrelevant, it should be your job to shovel shit
You need to cultivate and develop it
Get in the manure business and
sell a bit
I'm a precious stone, wrapped in parchment paper
shootin' meister jager
A dignitary, you're a lowly begger
Why don't you pull your plug you stupid nigga
If you're steering wheel is not wrapped in wood then you don't have the touch
So you will never feel it cause you denigrate too much
Who are you to judge, who are you to critique, who are you to falsify my presence
I am unique so you can keep your $20 you ain't gotta buy my CD
muthafucka not a problem
That's why I'm a recluse, not the one you set loose
Muthafuckas in this game use my name to get juice
Say it, David Blake, a maven, amazing
B-b-brighter than the forest when it's blazing
Asteroid, past the void, keep it pushing, that a boy
Gotta get it hotter than oven cooking, that's a joy
For these last four bars I take it easy
But you still a muthafucka and your cheesy
Don't trust your memory
Write down what you feel about me
If yo head ain't rocking back and and forth then doubt me

Tips and Tricks: How to Avoid Wasting Food
If you're participating in the Kitchn Cure, you probably tossed a fair amount of outdated, spoiled, and just not useful food this week. Every time we clean out the fridge, we're filled with agita at all the food we waste. Cooking for two people with busy schedules means that plans change unexpectedly, and that head of lettuce you bought two weeks ago is just not going to wait.
Did you know that while the US produces twice as much food than it needs, we still waste 40% of food produced? Forty percent is a staggering number that leaves us determined to find ways to stop wasting food. Here are a few of our latest ideas!
• A magnetic whiteboard on the fridge When we buy produce, we write it down. As it gets used up, we erase it from the board. We're also writing down the leftovers in the fridge. A bonus is that this means when we're jonesing for a snack, we remember those healthy beans tucked at the back of the fridge, rather than just reaching for the chips.
• Making a list We're big impulse buyers, grabbing whatever looks good in the market. But this means that sometimes we buy those gorgeous spring onions without really knowing how we'll use them. Now we're trying our best to plan our meals and make shopping lists. But don't think this means we're buying asparagus that looks too unripe, just because our list dictates. Instead, we'll write "2 nights x green vegetables," which allows us some spontaneity at the store, without causing us to buy too much.
• Keeping a food waste diary We got this idea from the UK campaign Love Food, Hate Waste which offers a free downloadable food waste diary. Every time you throw away food, whether it's a banana peel or 3/4 of a lasagna, you write down what it was and why you tossed it. The diary helps you be mindful - do I really need to toss this, or can I take it for lunch tomorrow? But also, after a while you can see what you're wasting the most and try to curb your shopping habits.
How do you avoid wasting food?
26 Comments
Wasting food is definitely one of my biggest pet peeves. It's done on so many levels, and most of the time there's simply no reason for it. That 40% is staggering - and embarrassing. While we do our best to eat every scrap of stuff in our fridge in the pantry, we do have the occasional produce bag full of something slimy or hunk of unsalvageable moldy cheese (often the mold can be scraped off).
My solution? A small flock of chickens! They eat almost everything - including banana peels and stuff you drop on the floor - which means that the wasted food really isn't going to waste at all. They get all sorts of goodies from the kitchen garden, too. And because our hens supply us with eggs, in a sense we're actually consuming that wasted food ourselves. I realize this isn't a viable solution for most people, but didn't you write something recently about people keeping chickens in NYC? : )
I forgot to mention that I love the idea of the magnetic whiteboard. Thanks for the great tip!
we try to use up produce that is on the verge of going bad by making a quick stirfry for supper. Sometimes it will be asian ingredients, and other times it might be just whatever we have lying around. We've used 3 nights of barbeque left overs in one stirfry. It was a meat extravaganza!
I'd really like to start composting. I feel bad throwing out the wilted ends of vegetables. I am used to having a rabbit around to feed, but since our current home doesn't allow pets, I'm thinking that composting any food waste and unused vegetables would be helpful. Especially to the garden.
Composting, definitely! I also freeze veggies that are still good but that I know I won't be able to cook soon enough. Making vegetable stock is a good solution, too.
I've tried rearranging the stuff in my fridge so that the most perishable items are the most "in your face" when you open the door. Condiments are on the bottom shelf while produce is front and center. That way its a bit harder to forget that you have that head of lettuce and you're reminded to use it. Also, I bought one of those "urban composters" so that I feel less guilty about throwing out the things that do go bad. I still have to get rid of stuff, but it hasn't been as bad as in the past.
A particularly annoying source of food waste for us has to do with fresh herbs and greens. Fresh herbs can really invigorate your cooking, but it can be truly frustrating to buy a big bunch of parsley, use 25% of it, and watch the rest of it decompose in the fridge.
But my wife taught me a surprisingly simple way to dramatically extend the shelf life of fresh herbs (and other types of produce as well) in our fridge: Place the herbs in the plastic bag, add a couple of tablespoons of water into the bag, and then tie the bag with a loose knot.
Sturdy herbs like parsley, cilantro and mint will keep well for up to two weeks this way. Really sturdy greens like kale or swiss chard can keep for even longer.
Thanks for bringing up this subject!
Casual Kitchen
I feel so guilty about food waste! I totally agree with Dan about the frustration of herb-waste and also his solution. I started putting unwashed greens in loose plastic bags (it helps if they're damp) and the greens keep much longer.
Other things I've started doing:
I make a grocery list, which helps. For me, one of the keys is writing the quantity of an ingredient if I'm buying it for a specific recipe ("1/2 cup quinoa" or 3 sweet potatoes) so I don't have to guess and buy too much.
I freeze chicken carcasses to make chicken stock.
I compost my food scraps, though I'm better at composting than using the compost.
I no longer buy groceries for the week. I stock up on basics that I use a lot and things that will save (spinach, cans of tuna in olive oil, beets, sweet potatoes), but I don't buy a week's worth of meat and easily-perishable vegetables. In fact, I try to think really carefully before buying those things, like celery, that most often turn to mush in the fridge.
1) are we wasting 40% of food BECAUSE we're producing 2x the amount we need? Looked at another way, its almost surprising we're not wasting the full 50% that we didn't need in the first place...
2) yeay composting! i live in a nyc apt with no outdoor space, and worms in my house freak me out, but i'm doing my bit by putting all my compostables in a bag in the freezer, and then dropping it off at the composting stand at the Greenmarket whenever i get a chance (which is rarely these days -- good thing that the compostables can't go bad in the freezer!). Also, supposedly freezing compostables before you compost them helps cut down on fruit flies by killing the eggs that are already on your fruits & veggies...
stick a hungry, starving kid's photograph in your kitchen and you will be prodded everytime not to waste.
Regarding people's comments about herbs going to waste:
In the last year, I became increasingly aware of that happening and have (I think!) finally hit on a decent solution. I freeze 'em. I do this one of three ways, depending on what it is.
Option one: Wash and dry herbs, strip them of their leaves and freeze them in a small, air-tight tupperware-esque container as is. You can pull out exactly as many leaves as you want. This is more appropriate for leafy herbs (duh) that are not as delicately flavored. (I probably do this the least often, just so you know.)
Option two: Wash and dry. Then puree the bejeesus out of them, put the puree on a piece of saranwrap, roll into a saranwrap-covered "sausage" and seal the ends with twist-ties. Lay on a flat surface in the freezer. When you want to use 'em, just cut off however much you want. This is best for hardy-flavored herbs and even better for savories like ginger and garlic.
Option three: Wash/dry. Puree with a bit of olive oil (or other oil) to carry the flavor. Spoon into icetrays and freeze. After frozen solid, dump into a heavy, sealable freezer bag and use as needed. This is a great way to preserve delicately-flavored herbs like basil; the oil keeps their flavor tasting almost as good as fresh.
That's it! Those are all my secrets!
I'm glad to see a post on waste! I've heard a lot of people argue (me included, at one time) that there aren't enough resources to take care of all the people in the world. Now, I think it's the idea that's garbage; there are enough resources--they're just horribly mismanaged.
I try to limit grocery shopping to once a week and buy only what I need for that week, along with any staples like eggs or milk. That way, I always have a clear view of what's on hand. Once or twice a week, I'll cook a big batch of something and portion them out for lunches. If I have fruit that's about to turn, I bake it into muffins or a quick bread that I can freeze, have for breakfast, and share with friends. Produce will go into soup or stir fry.
I have 2 storage bags in my freezer full of veggie ends and veggies that are about to go bad and dying fresh herbs for a monthly vegetable stock. Also regarding fresh herbs and their short life in the fridge, I usually divide the fresh herbs I've just bought in half, and hang half up to dry. Not as good a fresh, sure, but infinitely better than the jarred dried herbs.
Carolynapplebee, I just heard about green bags while sitting around the Easter dinner table last weekend. I haven't seen anything advertised though. Someone brought it up and swore that any bag that is colored green will work. Is this true? Is it the color that matters or is this some special kind of special product?
I usually just freeze the herbs in the plastic containers they come it from the grocery store. They lose a little bit of flavor yes, but they still taste better than dry. This works well with thyme, not so well with larger leaved herbs like tarragon, but it still works. For parsley - wash and roll in a paper towel, put the roll in a ziplock bag in the freezer. You can cut off what you need like cutting off cookies for cookie dough. Again, not so good as fresh, but better than dried.
it's not my veggies i have a problem with, it's the dairy. the last three tablespoons of sour cream, yogurt, or ricotta always seem to go bad, along with the last cup of milk. they're what i hate cleaning out the most too. nothing sets off my gag reflex like the funk of spoiled dairy products.
Lindsey - I agree about the dairy! I think the best thing I can do about it is buy the tiniest container possible, and only if I have a plan for it. I buy pints of milk (a few at a time, since they don't expire right away) and the open only when I need it. Half pints of cream, and the 8 oz. container of sour cream (which I WISH came even smaller!). It helps, but it isn't perfect.
Kitchn folks -- can we get a post or two about composting in an apartment? we live in a loft building with zero available outdoor space. i know there are small undersink composting bins available, but could we have a post to discuss?
elissa's post made me wonder about the "proper" use of shelves in the fridge - aren't vegetables supposed to be kept in the lowest section of the fridge for proper temperature regulation? perhaps a post on maximizing the proper use of our refrigerators would be helpful, too?
I am pretty good about not wasting too much food at home, although I have post-its on the chest freezer, tubs of bulk stuff, etc. instead of a whiteboard, which is a much better idea.
My food waste victory for the month is this: After seeing a local grocer throwing away perfectly good produce, I publicly shamed, err, wrote about it on my site and the next thing you know they aren't throwing food away anymore! It's a small victory, in this case cheap, bread-ready bananas but they say they are also donating more stuff to the food bank so I am feeling good about it.
I have problems with the food in the crisper drawers spoiling so I moved the food onto my shelves and put my condiments in the drawers. Now I can see everything at eye level when I open the refrigerator. My milk and juice are in the door so I never worry about pushing them to the back of the fridge.
apartment folks looking to compost: if you're in nyc or another place with community gardens, ask them if you can bring your compost there. not all community gardens compost, of course, but many do. i know our (brooklyn) community garden is happy to accept compost, even from non-members.
I always plan out my meals for the week and make my shopping list accordingly. I also take any leftovers for lunch the next day. Even with my meal planning I inevitabely have some things that don't get used up.
Once a week or so I take anything out of the fridge/freezer that is about to pass it's prime and throw it all into a soup or frittata. I always keep a few things (beans, eggs, etc.) on hand that will help round out the meal. Last night it was frittata (onions, green pepper, potato, spinach and broccoli), last week it was a big greens and beans soup.
I cook for one and sometimes two.
I finally just gave up on salad greens, and enjoy salads at restaurants instead. This also means that I am through having five or six bottles of salad dressing. I buy carrot sticks, tomatoes to slice, and have plenty of green veggies (mostly from the freezer)
I use the freshener drawers to keep condiments in. They're not going to wilt if I forget they're there. Other items are in clear plastic bags and good quality clear plastic containers.
I take time to wash and prepare fruit before putting it in the fridge. If a cantaloupe or honeydew melon is already peeled seeded and cut into nice bite-sized pieces in a snap lock container, it will get eaten to the last bite because it's a handy snack. Ditto with grapes and strawberries. If I know they're ready to eat, I'm more likely to add them to my dinner plate or to eat them as snacks.
I eat only one kind of sandwich until I'm done with the ingredients and find that this not only doesn't bother me in the least, but also means that I don't have weird dried out slices of cheese or dubious sandwich meat in the fridge. Example: This week I am having ham and swiss on whole wheat bread every day for lunch. I have all the ingredients except the bread together in a plastic container. Out it comes. Sandwich is made. Back it goes. Next week I might have a microwaved hot dog every day.
I don't kid myself anymore that I'm going to reheat cooked green and yellow veggies. They aren't great as leftovers. Instead I try to cook less of the fresh ones, and only buy the bags of frozen ones that allow me to shake out the right amount.
I nearly always put leftover meat or meat dishes (like chili or casseroles) into serving size containers or plastic bags and freeze it. That way, if I don't get to it the next day, it's going to be safe to eat. The microwave is great for reheating.
I buy meat in larger packs for the savings, but repackage it for freezing. Otherwise the only things I buy in larger quantities are the non-perishable items like rice, pasta, flour, etc.
Its a small trick, but try wrapping your celery in tin foil! I've had a whole bunch of celery stay crisp and green in my fridge for up to 2 weeks!! It doesn't go limp or anything. I'm going to start trying it with other veggies. No reason to waste money on a gimmicky "green bag" when foil is so damn cheap!
Another good tip for celery is cutting it and putting it in water to keep it fresh...in my experience it works with other veggies too; when I have broccoli that's gone a little soft, I just put the stalk in a cup of water for an hour and it is almost as good as new!
I agree that composting is good, chickens would be better but I don't think my landlord would go for it.. :b
Being mindful about freezing items nice and early on is important, too; if you think you may not finish it in time, just freeze it! You can always defrost later. Leftover pizza, cooked veggies, some leftover sauces (i.e. pesto) etc....you can freeze more than you think.
We've been composting since I took an organic gardening class, back in 1970. Some food waste is inevitable, especially when you purchase lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. With a compost, we put in EVERYTHING---including used paper towels, kleenex, q-tips, nut shells, shredded paper, tea bags, coffee grounds, bones, eggshells---the whole gamut.
One of our composters is off the ground, a tumbler type. We don't put the meat or meat-by-products in the ground level bins. Everyone should compost. It's a great way to enrich your soil. If you don't want to buy some sort of bin/tumbler, just use the "lasagna" technique and dig your kitchen scraps into your garden. Plants love this. Just try to put at least six inches of soil atop your buried stuff. Animals may dig some up, but so what? Feed your soil, feed a few scavengers. (We've buried scraps for years and had no problems with rats, if that's your worry.) Keep track of where you last buried your scraps by using an upright stick as a marker. Have fun.
Oh, yes. And all of your milk products can go into your compost, too.

Epilepsy Health Center
Ketogenic Diet Raises Cholesterol in Kids
Aug. 19, 2003 -- Children with epilepsy who follow the ketogenic diet -- a rigidly high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet to control severe seizures -- experience dramatic and rapid increases in their cholesterol, researchers from Baltimore's Johns Hopkins Children's Center report.
Lead researcher Peter O. Kwiterovich Jr., MD, says the findings may have as much relevance for healthy children who eat diets that are very high in fat as adults who have adopted the high-fat, low-carb approach to eating as a lifestyle.
The Real Message
"The message is not that children with [uncontrollable] seizures should not be on this diet, because it can be remarkably effective and most children only stay on it for a few years," Kwiterovich tells WebMD. "But our findings suggest the distinct possibility that anyone who eats a very high-fat diet may be setting themselves up for later [blood vessel] disease."
The researchers followed a group of children with epilepsy who had been placed on a ketogenic diet after medications failed to control their seizures. Their study is published in the Aug. 20 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
How the Ketogenic Diet Works
The strictly controlled, very high-fat diet, which is also low in carbohydrates and proteins, has been shown to reduce seizures dramatically or eliminate them completely in a significant percentage of children who are placed on it.
Eliminating all sugars and simple carbohydrates and severely restricting other carbohydrates results in a condition called ketosis, in which the body burns stored fat instead of glucose for fuel. It is not clear why ketosis inhibits seizures, but in an earlier Johns Hopkins study involving 150 children with difficult-to-control epilepsy, more than half had a 50% or greater reduction in seizures and one-fourth experienced a 90% improvement.
New Findings
In the latest study, researchers measured cholesterol and triglyceride levels among 141 children accepted into the Johns Hopkins ketogenic diet program. The average age of the children was 4, and all had frequent epileptic seizures that could not be controlled with medication.
After six months on the diet, the children's average total cholesterol level skyrocketed to 232 -- well above normal. Overall, more than 60% of them had high total cholesterol.
Average LDL "bad" cholesterol increased to levels almost 20 points above normal, and triglyceride levels also exceeded normal levels.
When the children were followed for 12 to 24 months on the ketogenic diet, average total and LDL cholesterol levels decreased slightly but still remained high. At the 24-month cutoff, triglyceride levels were not significantly different than before the ketogenic diet was started.
Weighing the Risks and Benefits
Epilepsy specialist Gregory L. Barkley, MD, says the findings confirm what has been suspected for some time but they are unlikely to change clinical practice.
"This is something that physicians will want to include in their discussion about the risks and benefits of this particular treatment," the director of Detroit's Henry Ford Comprehensive Epilepsy Program tells WebMD. "But we know that uncontrolled seizures carry all kinds of risks. This remains a useful treatment. But like many treatments, it is not without risks."

I enjoyed reading this truly outstanding text and plan to adopt it as a required text for my course. -Stephen Brannen, Southwest Missouri State University We use the current edition of Nichols/Schwartz Family Therapy in all sections of graduate Family Practice, because it is comprehensive; student friendly; and well balanced between theory and practice content. The authors filter in the differences and uniqueness of family therapy versus other forms of treatment with individuals and groups. We plan to adopt the new edition when it's ready. -Maria Napoli, Arizona State University The writing style is excellent, much better than the book I'm currently using. I especially like part two of the book, where the format allows students to compare and contrast the various schools of therapy.It also has excellent coverage of the use of assessment of families, as well as the ethics involved in treating families, in particular the limits of confidentiality when working with multiple members of a family. I will definitely consider adopting this for my course. -Marilyn Paavola, University of Tennessee.

Moira Shearer, Lady Kennedy (17 January 1926 – 31 January 2006), was an internationally renowned British ballet dancer and actress.
Early life[edit]
She was born Moira Shearer King in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, the daughter of Harold Charles King. In 1931 her family moved to Ndola, Northern Rhodesia, where her father worked as a civil engineer and where she received her first dancing training under a former pupil of Enrico Cecchetti.[1] She returned to Britain in 1936 and trained with Flora Fairbairn in London for a few months before she was accepted as a pupil by the Russian teacher Nicholas Legat.[1] At his studio she met Mona Inglesby[2] who gave Shearer a part in her new ballet Endymion, presented at an all star matinee at the Cambridge Theatre in 1938.[3] After three years with Legat, she joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet School. After the outbreak of World War II, her parents took her to live in Scotland.[1] She joined Mona Inglesby's International Ballet[4] for its 1941 provincial tour and West End season before moving on to Sadler's Wells in 1942.
Film career[edit]
Her first "claim to fame" is as Posy Fossil in the advertisements for the Noel Streatfeild book Ballet Shoes while she was training under Flora Fairbairn, a good friend of Streatfeild's.
She came to international attention for her first film role as Victoria Page in the Powell & Pressburger ballet-themed film The Red Shoes, (1948). Even her hair matched the titular footwear, and the role and film were so powerful that although she went on to star in other films and worked as a dancer for many decades, she is primarily known for playing "Vicky".
Shearer retired from ballet in 1953, but she continued to act, appearing as Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the 1954 Edinburgh Festival. She worked again for Powell on The Tales of Hoffmann and on the controversial film Peeping Tom (1960), which damaged Powell's own career.
In 1972, she was chosen by the BBC to present the Eurovision Song Contest when it was staged at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. According to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History, Shearer accepted the role of hostess because her children wanted something to tease her with in the future.[5] She also wrote for The Daily Telegraph newspaper and gave talks on ballet worldwide.
The choreographer Gillian Lynne persuaded her to return to ballet in 1987 to play L. S. Lowry's mother in A Simple Man for the BBC.
Along with her continued work in film, in the mid-1960s, Shearer danced (and sang) the role of Morgan le Fay in the original London production of Camelot, directed and choreographed by her Red Shoes co-star, Sir Robert Helpmann.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
In 1950, Moira Shearer married journalist and broadcaster Ludovic Kennedy. They were married in the Chapel Royal in London's Hampton Court Palace. The couple had a son, Alastair, and three daughters, Ailsa, Rachel, and Fiona. Shearer died at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England at the age of 80.[6]

Zara's Story: Adventure at the Airport
This was the second time for me. My daughter is five years old, and when I found out that I was having another girl I could not have been happier. Hana, our first, also wanted a sister. My due date was December 7th, 2001. All was well, for during this pregnancy I had experienced no morning sickness. I felt wonderful.
On December 5th, I was expecting my cousin, who was flying in from Texas to stay with me for a week. That morning I woke up with the hope that nothing would happen that day, that would prevent me from being at the airport to pick her up, since my husband had to work.
I arrived at the airport in time to meet her 2 p.m. flight, and was told that her flight had been delayed for another half hour, and that she wouldn't come in till 2:30 p.m. At exactly 2:00 p.m., while sitting on the bench with my five-year-old, I felt this big gush of water. Fortunately I was wearing jeans and a long black coat so no one could see that my pants were wet.
With another half hour to go for my cousin's arrival, I decided to wait since I had no contractions. I knew that my husband was leaving work early that day and would already be on his way home, and we don't have cell phones so there was no way I could reach him to let him know what had happened.
My cousin finally arrived. Soon after, while driving home at 3:15 p.m., the contractions started. Since they were bearable I decided to go home, shower, change and get my hospital bag. I stopped at the store on the way because we had no milk, and there were a few other items that I knew I could not rely on my husband to remember. We got home at 4:00 p.m. Twenty minutes later my husband arrived. By this time the pain was getting pretty intense.
He rushed me to the hospital, where we arrived at 4:55 p.m. The midwife examined me ten minutes later, and said that since I was already 8 cm. dilated, they needed to rush me to another room immediately because this baby was coming right away!
There was no time to do paperwork to admit me, no time to give me anything for the pain. The nurses could not believe that I was already 8 cm. dilated because I did not look like I was in that much pain. The midwife told me that if I had waited any longer to come to the hospital I would have had this baby at home or on the way to the hospital.
My daughter was born at 5:26 p.m. It was the easiest pregnancy and easiest birth, I thank God for that blessing, and also for my little blessing Zara. She weighed six pounds eleven ounces. She is a joy to us, and I want to share her birth story since everyone I have told it to has had a good laugh.

Union Boss Tells Breitbart All About Illegal Alien Union Members
August 16, 2013 by Personal Liberty News Desk
Breitbart did a spot interview Thursday with a top official from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) at an immigration reform rally in Bakersfield, California.
Amazingly, SEIU International Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina didn't flinch on the subject of whether illegal aliens form part of the union's membership.
"Medina gave no indication that he thought there was anything wrong with violating U.S. immigration law," writes Breitbart's Lee Stranahan. "This is a stunning admission coming from one of the top union leaders behind comprehensive immigration reform: it suggests that the SEIU knowingly accepts dues from illegal immigrants working in the United States and advocates for them regardless of their violations of immigration and labor laws."

Snow Likely, but How Much?
By Derek Maillet on January 21, 2013, 5:20pm Last modified: January 21, 2013, 8:07pm
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories.
Tonight we could expect snowfall totals as high as 3-6" in northeastern Connecticut and as much as 1-3" in the middle of the state and less than 1" in the southwestern part of the state.
Tuesday through Thursday, there is a break from the action, then on Friday we could see snow to start to fall around noon time or later. We could get from 6-12" at the shoreline to 8-14" inland. The people who live in hilly terrain areas could expect a slippery commute back home from work. If it comes down hard I won't drive on the hills and would try to avoid any large hills or mountains. The flakes will start flying at around noon-2:00pm for western Connecticut and 3:00-5:00pm in eastern Connecticut and end Saturday morning before daybreak western Connecticut and 5:00-7:00am Eastern Connecticut.

SLR Magic, the new owners of Noktor, has tweeted earlier today that "SLR Magic x Noktor HyperPrime 12mm F/1.6 for mFT coming soon...". mFT is of course Twitter-short for Micro Four Thirds (M43rds). "Soon" is of course a relative term :)

text: Ludwig stood at attention, his stern cold eyes looked straight ahead, his spine snapped to it's absolute straightest. He dared not to breath too hard, that would bring attention to himself, and with his Major around he didn't want that. He had even woken up two hours before call to get dress and make sure everything was right from his hat placed correctly to the amount of shoe shine he had placed on his boots. His Major was a strict girl with beauty that seemed to tease Ludwig. Her (e/c) eyes always seemed to mock him, her lips always pressed into a line as if to say he was a disappointment and worst of all her (h/c) braided hair always reminded him of something he couldn't have. Ludwig was in a program to prepare young people for war, the ages where from fifteen to eighteen. Ludwig was here for his last year, in August he'd be shipped off to the real army, to real war.

This guy is the coolest kid. No one is cooler.
No one.
Really look at that bag- it's old as hell. It's probably been on more trips and adventures than the man using it in the picture, more than you or I, and all it does is go wherever it's taken.
Maybe we should do the same, go with whatever takes us.

Sunday, 29 September 2013 09:13
Gene Pettit, who wrestled the early part of his career as Gene Lewis and the latter part as Cousin Luke, passed away today.
No other details are available. He was in his early 60s, as he was a teammate in college football of Paul Orndorff.
While living in Tampa, he was a training partner outside the ring of the late Dale Lewis, one of the best U.S. amateur heavyweights of his era who was a star in Florida at the time.
As Gene Lewis, he was a journeyman wrestler whose main claim to fame is that his "brother" was a wrestling star. He had good size but didn't break out of the pack. He did other gimmicks, such as being The Mongol of Devastation Inc. in World Class Championship Wrestling, and Molokai as part of Kevin Sullivan's group in Florida in the early 80s.
He came to WWF in 1985 as Hillbilly Cousin Luke, the cousin of already established Hillbilly Jim. Luke essentially took over for Lanny Kean who was Cousin Junior, but didn't last long with the promotion due to a broken ankle.
He worked the rest of his career, mostly in Northeast indies, as Cousin Luke.
He had battled serious health problems for the past decade, including back problems, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

What Private Equity Firms Do and How They Will Make You Money
Daniel is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Private equity (PE) firms have made the headlines recently, most notably with the Silver Lake Management and Michael Dell buyout of Dell and the 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway acquisition of Heinz. These firms and their roles can be quite hazy to the average investor, who may not be in tune with alternative investment strategies.
Essentially, PE firms seek to acquire, make profitable, and sell companies that are on their last leg or not operating at maximum potential. The firms typically raise capital through funds designed for foundations, pensions, and wealthy investors.
This type of alternative investment is typically way out of the reach of your everyday investor. However, PE firms typically generate boatloads of cash and are excellent at returning that cash to shareholders -- in other words, there is a lot of opportunity in the secondary capital markets. Three major PE players that are also publicly traded are Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX), Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (NYSE: KKR) and The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG).
The Blackstone Group operates five segments: private equity, real estate, hedge funds, credit businesses, and financial advisory. Its private equity segment is divided into five general funds and one specialized fund. This private equity arm engages in various transactions including leveraged buyouts of established companies, start up businesses, and distressed companies.
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co specializes in acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, and growth equity or start-up businesses. Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts typically exits its position in a company in five years, either through an initial public offering (IPO), secondary offerings, or strategic minority positions.
The Carlyle Group seeks management led buyout opportunities, privatizations, divestures, and distressed companies. The company typically exits its investments within three to five years. Recently, The Carlyle Group lowered its threshold for new investors to $50,000, in order to attract additional capital.
Let's examine the fundamentals side by side to identify which one of these PE firms could find a potential home in your portfolio.
When compared side by side, Kolhberg Kravis & Roberts seems to stand out above the rest. The company currently trades at the most attractive price with the highest earnings and return on assets. Kolhberg Kravis & Roberts also boasts the highest dividend rate and subsequent yield.
However, I would not write off Blackstone or The Carlyle Group. The two firms are expected to grow at 25% and 45% over the next year, which will outpace the industry's expected 17%. Kolhberg Kravis & Roberts, on the other hand, is expected to see a decrease in earnings of up to 18%, which makes its lower valuation expected.
If you are beefing up the financial portion of your portfolio, private equity firms warrant your attention. However, when evaluating these companies, it is important to consider factors outside of the very basic fundamentals when deciding which is right for you.

A friend asked me what I thought of the new show coming out, since everyone in high school knew i loved that show. He almost regretted it immediately after asking this is what I wrote.
