Q&A: Frazier has the fire to match his hair
Indians first-rounder learning from veterans on his journey in Minors
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | March 4, 2014 10:00 AM ET
Despite still being a teenager and having never played a single game as high as Class A, Clint Frazier is easily recognizable to Indians fans. With his trademark red hair and explosive right-handed swing, the outfielder has the tools to be a permanent fixture in Cleveland in the not-so-distant future.
The Tribe selected the Georgia native fifth overall in last year's Draft, and Frazier posted a .297/.362/.502 slash line in two months in the Rookie-level Arizona League.
MiLB.com spoke with Frazier about phoning big leaguers for advice, swinging plastic yellow bats as a toddler and the day he walked into a Major League clubhouse for the first time.
MiLB.com: It's been a crazy 12 months for you. How would you describe the journey you've been on in the past year?
Clint Frazier: It was just a whirlwind. Everything went from me just being a normal high school kid to being employed by the Cleveland Indians. I'm out here every single day on my own trying to make each day a purposeful day and make it to the Major Leagues.
MiLB.com: When did it really sink it?
Frazier: I would say whenever I got back from Rookie ball. It didn't really sink in when I was out here [in Arizona] because I just felt like I was playing baseball on a normal daily basis. But when I got back, people started treating me a little bit differently. It felt like something happened for them to notice the accomplishment that I had achieved in the process of going through the Draft.
MiLB.com: What were your biggest achievements in those first few months?
Frazier: The main highlight was getting the opportunity to go out there and play baseball every day. The other one was my first at-bat, hitting a home run. I thought after that first at-bat I was going to hit 30 home runs that season.
But it was a quick reality check that that's not going to happen, that I'm not going to hit a home run every time I step up to the plate. I just had to realize that if I step on the field I might not be the best one on the field every time, but I still have to believe I am.
MiLB.com: Mentally, how difficult was it going from Loganville, Ga., where you were the best player on your team, to pro ball, where you were just another player?
Frazier: It's definitely a humbling experience. It knocks you off cloud nine, but it's a reality check -- you need to realize you're no better than everyone else there and that you still have to come out and work every single day like the rest of them. No one cares that I was the fifth overall pick. I'm just another player reporting to the Cleveland Indians, and I still have to work and get there every day like everyone else.
MiLB.com: What struggles did you face that first year?
Frazier: Just realizing that I'm not going to come out and hit .500 every day. I hit .297 in Rookie ball and that was the first time I'd ever hit under .400 in a season. That was a hard pill to swallow. There is going to be someone on the mound who is just as good or better than me and they can set me down when I step into that box.
MiLB.com: Did you find that you still got pitched around at times, like last year in high school?
Frazier: Yes, I remember playing a team and I watched two guys in front of me get walked on eight straight pitches on eight straight fastballs and I step into the box and he throws me four straight curveballs and strikes me out. It kinda got frustrating at times, but it's also them showing me respect, that they're not going to just throw me fastballs every time.
MiLB.com: Did you find you had to make any changes to your swing or mechanics, or do you still have that slight loft to your swing?
Frazier: I had a toe tap coming into Rookie ball, and as instructs came around I developed a little leg kick. During the offseason, I stuck with the leg kick, but I opened my stance a little bit more and I'm standing up a little bit taller. I'm still doing that right now and it seems to be working.
MiLB.com: How exciting is that?
Frazier: It's very exciting just to be out here every single day and get to see some of the Major Leaguers out here, and it gives me the opportunity to continue to go out and strive to get to where they are.
MiLB.com: You've just started your first Spring Training with the Indians. What was it like the first time you walked into a locker room full of big leaguers?
Frazier: It was a good experience. For them to be standing there in the red wigs and to introduce me the way they did ... I didn't know how to approach the guys. I was a high school kid walking into a Major League locker room and for them to wear the wigs, it really took a lot of pressure off me trying to approach them the right way.

- Mark Shapiro (@MarkShapiro) June 16, 2013
MiLB.com: Did you get any face time with the veterans?
Frazier: When I was 8 years old, I grew up around Jeff Francoeur. He has just signed with the Indians, so I had an opportunity to sit down and talk with him. I'm actually going to sit down with him and his mother-in-law and have dinner later in the month. I got to talk with Michael Brantley and Mike Aviles and a bunch of guys and they were very welcoming.
I walked down from the locker room to the field with Jason Giambi and got a quick picture with him. After he was done hitting BP, he came over and talked to me and gave me his number and just said if you need anything, just call me. I ended up calling him a couple times during the Rookie ball season.
MiLB.com: What did you ask him?
Frazier: He's been in the game so long, so it's not hard to ask him a question about what you're going through because more than likely he's gone through it once or more times. I just called him one day and just spoke to him about me not having as much success at the plate as I did in high school and how to handle that, and he gave me a few pointers.
MiLB.com: Entering 2014, what are you primarily working on?
Frazier: From a defensive standpoint, just trying to get better every single day -- working on my routes, my reads, my throws. And from an offensive standpoint, I want to work on my pitch selection and make sure I'm swinging at good pitches, because good things will happen if I swing at the right pitches.
MiLB.com: I read that you want to be like Mike Trout, a player who can impact the game in so many different ways. What do you take the most pride in?
Frazier: Definitely hitting. That is the highlight of my day every single time I step onto the field. I want to be known as a guy who, when he walks into the box, should be feared in all aspects. It's awesome being able to go out there and hit a home run on a Major League field.
MiLB.com: I've heard that you added a little muscle since you signed. Where are you now?
Frazier: I was 184 pounds when I got drafted and I weighed in at 207 when I got into Spring Training. I'm aiming to put on just a few more pounds. I was a little heavier at home, I was 212, but I started running toward the end to make sure I was in good shape, so I dropped a few pounds. As the season goes on, I know I'll lose some weight and come back down to this weight where I feel comfortable at.
MiLB.com: Do you ever still get a chance to be a teenager or did you have to mature quickly?
Frazier: I came up a little bit differently than anyone else. I had to worry about the things I would do, because if a team found out about it they could look at it the wrong way. I had to be very selective about what I tweeted. I had to be very cautious about who I hung out with because I didn't want to come across people that didn't care about what I was doing or hanging around the wrong people, and that definitely helped me mature.
Just being put in the spotlight and always watching what I was doing and making sure that I was doing the right thing, I didn't really have a chance to live a normal teenage life through my senior year, just because of the process I was going through going through the Draft. Then I had to pick an agent and a financial advisor, and then I got handed a couple million dollars, and things changed very quickly. I had to grow up a lot faster.
MiLB.com: How much of that side of your personality -- being a good person on and off the field -- is a result of your upbringing and the role your parents played?
Frazier: A ton. My parents take pride in always making sure I am doing the right thing and that I'm going to help people out. They made sure to give me the right opportunities, so I was ready for whenever this happened.
MiLB.com: How are they handling you not being home anymore?
Frazier: It's a struggle, but it's also very exciting for them because I'm getting the opportunity to live out my dream. I'm playing professional baseball, so there's no wrong in that. If things go right, I'll be in Cleveland one day and hopefully, they'll be living out there, watching me play every day.
MiLB.com: They came with you for the Draft in Secaucus, N.J. What do you remember about that day?
Frazier: It was a very stressful day. The thing I remember the most was having a couple hundred people text me, saying, 'How are you feeling? Where do you think you'll be going?' I didn't respond to any of them apart from a select few, just because I didn't want to be thinking about that. I wanted to enjoy the day.
I ended up turning my phone off just so I could stay away from everyone else. There were a lot of mock drafts going on that day, and I didn't want to read them and get upset because I was going to somewhere I didn't think I would. Whenever I got called it was just a big relief of pressure because it had finally happened.
MiLB.com: Did you have any interactions with the Indians before that day?
Frazier: I sat down with their area scout, but that was really it until the high school playoffs when I had [Indians executive vice president and general manager] Chris Antonetti come to a game. I went 2-for-3 in the first game, but I went 0-for-3 in the next game and I got thrown out stealing, so I didn't think I made a very good impression on him. But my agent seemed to think the Indians liked me a lot and that they would take me if I was open, and he proved to be right.
MiLB.com: What's your earliest memory playing baseball?
Frazier: My mom always laughs at this because she was the one who taught me how to hit. My dad would be working and my mom was at home, and she would throw to me in the front yard with the yellow Playmate bat that was bigger than me. She was the one that got me started on baseball, so I can give the credit to her when people asked me how I learned to hit. I started baseball at 3 or 4, so I was very young.
MiLB.com: You already have so many fans cheering you on to succeed. What message do you have for them?
Frazier: I want them to know that they can go out there and expect me to give it my all every single time I step on the field. I'm going to be going 100 percent if I fail and 100 percent if I succeed. I'm fiery, very fiery, just like my red hair. I have a lot of passion for the game and that's just how I go about my business, going about it as hard as I can and making sure I'm doing it the right way.

2008 Women's Soccer season in reviewNovember 7, 2008
Brevard, N.C. - With a starting lineup which included five freshmen, the Brevard College women's soccer team expected to run into some bumps in their first years as full NCAA Division II and South Atlantic Conference members, but the Tornados continued building on last season's experience as they recorded a winning home record on the year.
Head Coach Liz Stojetz's squad battled through their first season as a full South Atlantic Conference member, competing against their conference foes in a number of close matches and ended the season just missing out on a trip to their first SAC Tournament.
The Tornados improved on their win total from the previous season as they finished the year with six victories. Brevard proved to be a tough match on their home turf going 5-4-1 in their games on the Brevard campus.
The Tornados started off the season on the right foot as BC opened up with what would prove to be a single game season-high nine goals in a home win against Columbia College on August 29. Brevard then recorded their second victory of the season one week later in a 2-1 win over Coker College on September 6.
As the middle of September rolled around and the temperature started to drop, Brevard heated up as they brought home back-to-back 1-0 shutouts over North Greenville and Southern Wesleyan.
The Tornados recorded their lone win away from Brevard when they traveled to Swannanoa, N.C. on October 4, as they defeated Warren Wilson 3-0. Returning home, the Tornados closed out their last win of the season in a 4-0 victory over Converse College on October 24.
For the season, the Tornados were ranked highly in several categories throughout the conference. As a team, Brevard was ranked seventh in the conference in goals scored, sixth in assists, first in saves and seventh in shutouts recorded.
Individually ranked in the conference was senior forward Carrilea Potter, who was seventh in assists with four on the year. Junior goalkeeper Sydney Douglas was second in the conference with 89 saves and seventh in the conference with three shutouts recorded.
The Tornados had 12 different players record goals on the season, with another 11 contributing to the attack with assists. Freshman Bailey Varley led the offensive attack with six goals, while Potter was right behind her with five. Freshman Latoisha Hopewell and senior Ashley Fincher also recorded multiple scores in adding four and three goals, respectively.
Potter, who led the team with her four assists, was joined in the attack by Varley and freshman midfielder Alyssa Caracena who both had three.
The goal was patrolled by Douglas who recorded 15 starts in the 16 games she played between the posts. Douglas, who claimed all six of the Tornado victories, was ably backed up by freshman Jordan Box who played in six games, including one start at the end of the season.
The Tornados will look to continue their improvement next season as they gear up for their second full season in the South Atlantic Conference. Despite losing four seniors, Brevard will return 21 players who saw significant minutes this season. The Tornados will be a force to be reckoned with as they prepare for what looks to be a breakthrough 2009 season.

Many people are living lives with a distinct sense of emptiness and wonder if there is any meaning to their existence. Others wonder what is the purpose for their life? Why are they here on earth? What is it they are supposed to do with their lives?
The Bible has answers to these questions. The Apostle Paul testified in Philippians 3 that when he met Christ and was converted to Him, that newly established relationship brought great purpose to his life. Having been apprehended by Christ, Paul now finds himself highly motivated to apprehend Him, to grasp the full significance of what it means to be in Christ and to live in the reality of being declared righteous by God.
If you would know the sam joy Paul did, you must have the same perspective he had on life. If your life is to count for time and for eternity, you must live with the same singular purpose for which he became very passionate.
Find out what gives meaning to life & direction in life by looking at what God says in Philippians 3. This Sunday morning message challenges the hearer to live "Life with Purpose."

Long Beach earned a "C" grade from the American Lung Association in the advocacy group's annual report tracking progress on tobacco control policies.
The State of Tobacco Control 2013, released Wednesday, assigns grades based on whether laws are adequately protecting citizens from tobacco.
Long Beach earned points for banning smoking in recreation areas and reducing sales of tobacco products, but earned low marks for ensuring smoke-free housing.
Other local cities earned the following grades: Bellflower, F; Cerritos, C; Downey, F; Hawaiian Gardens, D; Lakewood, F; Paramount, F; Signal Hill, F.
Once a leader in tobacco-free policies, California as a whole is now lagging, officials with the association say.
The state received an A for smoke-free air policies, a D for its low cigarette tax, an F for failing to adequately fund tobacco prevention and control programs, and an F for poor coverage of smoking cessation and treatment programs.

The cracking of a whip echoed off the red sandstone outcroppings jabbing into the sky Saturday in the Agua Dulce area as Roman soldiers forced a bloodied Jesus to the spot where he was to be crucified.
The scene was part of a dramatic Easter retelling of the story of Christ and his resurrection put on by five Acton and Agua Dulce churches in Vasquez Rocks County Park as part of the Easter holiday observances.
The striking rock formations in the dusty and stark landscape was reminiscent of Jerusalem's valleys, dry riverbeds and stone terraces - a perfect backdrop for the biblical resurrection story, according to attendees.
"It's nature's best theater," said Matt McCown, of Acton. "It captures a little of Jerusalem."
McCown, 44, was among nearly 1,000 people who attended the outdoor play, and for some, it was an annual reminder of what the holiday meant.
"It's to realize what Easter is all about, how Christ dies for you," said Paula Peralta, of Agua Dulce.
"It just looks so realistic, especially when he goes up on the cross," Peralta said. "You actually feel it, when they start beating him, you just feel his pain."
The play included the Nativity scene, messages and miracles performed by Jesus, his judgment by Pontius Pilate, his crucifixion, resurrection and return.
As the actors playing Roman soldiers pretended to kick and beat Jesus and his tunic was ripped away after a whipping to reveal bloody welts along his back, several in the audience gasped, made sounds of sympathy or dabbed at their eyes.
"Sometimes you'll see grown men wiping their eyes," Peralta said.
Actors - all volunteer church members - also passed out baskets of sourdough bread to the audience to represent one of the miracles, where according to gospel, Jesus was able to feed 5,000 with just seven loaves of bread and two fish.
"This is the story, first and foremost, of God's mercy to us," said Pastor Joel Moore of Crown Valley Community Church. "We're people who are in need of hope, hope for today, hope for tomorrow, and hope for all eternity."
The play was the first of two showings for Easter weekend, with the second scheduled for 5 a.m. today.
And for others, it was a time to enjoy the company of family, friends and neighbors.
Robert Cordoves, 75, of Acton, attended the play with McCown and several other families who live near him.
"It's a very, very nice play," Cordoves said. "It's just the fact that it's a part of the Easter story, and they just do an excellent job."
The production is sponsored by Acton Faith Bible Church, Agua Dulce Foursquare Church, Crown Valley Community Church, The Family Community Church and Shepherd of the Hills - Agua Dulce.

That's because Centrum Specialist Complete Multivitamin Energy is the first and only complete multivitamin with higher levels of Lutein and the addition of Zeaxanthin to help maintain healthy vision, support vision sharpness, and improve the eye's natural response to glare, while still providing all the benefits of Centrum. Centrum Specialist Complete Multivitamin Energy is backed by the nutritional expertise and science of Centrum. Centrum Specialist Complete Multivitamin Vision Highlights: Healthy Vision First and only complete multivitamin with 10 mg of Lutein and 2 mg of Zeaxanthin to support healthy vision. Nutrients to Support Glare Reduction Higher Levels of Lutein and the addition of Zeaxanthin to help improve the eyes natural response to glare. Supports Visual Acuity With key nutrients like Vitamins A, C, E and Zinc, to support vision sharpness, acuity, and healthy eyes as you age. Multiple Vitamin-Mineral Supplements What do they do? Multiple vitamin-mineral (MVM) supplements, sometimes known as multivitamin-mineral supplements, contain a variable number of essential and/or non-essential nutrients. Their primary purpose is to provide a convenient way to take a variety of supplemental nutrients from a single product, in order to prevent vitamin or mineral deficiencies, as well as to achieve higher intakes of nutrients believed to be of benefit above typical dietary levels. Many MVMs contain at least 100% of the Daily Value (DV) or the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (USRDA) of all vitamins that have been assigned these recommended values. Mineral levels may be lower, or in the case of high potency MVMs, most or all mineral levels may also be at 100% of DV or USRDA. Micronutrients that should be included in a complete MVM are vitamin A (or beta-carotene), vitamin B-complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and/or niacinamide, vitamin B6, folic acid (folate), vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, and biotin), vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc, iodine, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and possibly iron. Some MVMs also contain vitamin K, but people taking the medication warfarin (Coumadin™) should consult their doctor before taking vitamin K supplements. Phosphorus is another essential dietary mineral, but is so abundant in the diet that it does not need to be included in an MVM formula. The only exception is for elderly people, whose diets tend to be lower in phosphorus. Calcium interferes with phosphorus absorption, so older people who are taking a calcium supplement might benefit from taking additional phosphorus. Potassium is an unusual case, as adequate amounts of potassium cannot, by law, be sold in nonprescription products. Thus potassium, when included in an MVM formula, represents only a trivial amount. MVMs may contain iron, but these should be taken only by people who have been diagnosed as having, or being at high risk of, iron deficiency, or who have a history of frequent iron deficiency. Some nutrients may be beneficial at levels above what is possible to obtain from diet alone, and an MVM formula can provide these levels as well. Nutrients that may be useful to most people in larger amounts include vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium. Vitamin E has long been thought to protect against heart disease beginning at 100 IU per day, but more recent research has cast doubt on the value of vitamin E for heart-disease prevention. Large amounts of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, and pantothenic acid are often included in MVM formulas. Some people claim to experience improvements in mood, energy, and/or overall well-being when taking higher-than-RDA amounts of B vitamins. While there is not a great deal of scientific research to support those observations, one double-blind study of healthy volunteers found that an MVM supplement significantly reduced anxiety and perceived stress levels, and possibly improved energy and the ability to concentrate. The importance of including the nonessential nutrient beta-carotene in MVMs remains speculative. The synthetic beta-carotene found in most MVMs clearly does not prevent cancer and may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Therefore, the inclusion of synthetic beta-carotene in MVM formulas is of questionable value, and it should be avoided by smokers. This concern was validated by the results of a large study in which male smokers who supplemented with synthetic beta-carotene had an 18% increase in incidence of lung cancer, compared with those given a placebo. On the other hand, because beta-carotene can be converted to vitamin A without causing vitamin A toxicity, some manufacturers use beta-carotene as a source of vitamin A. In contrast to synthetic beta-carotene, however, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids may be helpful in preventing certain diseases, including some cancers. Increasingly, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids are found in higher quality MVMs. Another class of non-essential nutrients is the flavonoids, which have antioxidant and other properties and have been reported by some, though not all, researchers to be linked with a reduced risk of heart disease. MVM supplements also frequently include other nutrients of uncertain benefit in the small amounts supplied, such as choline, inositol, and various amino acids. Preliminary and double-blind trials have shown that women who use an MVM containing folic acid, beginning three months before becoming pregnant and continuing through the first three months of pregnancy, have a significantly lower risk of having babies with neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida) and other congenital defects. In one double-blind trial, schoolchildren received, for three months, a daily low-potency vitamin-mineral tablet containing 50% of the USRDA for most essential vitamins and the minerals. The subjects were "working class," primarily Hispanic, children, aged 6 to 12 years. Dramatic gains in certain measures of IQ were observed in about 20% of the supplemented children. These gains may have been due to the correction of specific nutrient deficiencies (for example, iron) found in these children. However, it was not possible in this study to identify which nutrients caused the increases in IQ.

Compare great Fiat SMART Repair, Scratches and Scuffs prices in Newcastle upon Tyne with Who Can Fix My Car.
Excellent service, very quick turnaround
Very pleased with the garage Very friendly
Really Good service
Top class garage, good price for Bosch pads, lovely people
Arrived on time and did the job in a very reasonable time at a good price. Will use again. Thanks.
Excellent service especially given it was Bank Holiday, good communication, arrived promptly, sorted the problem, fair price, would definitely use again.
I would definitely recommend Jack to anyone who needs work doing on their car. My car had failed its MOT, and I was offered £350 by the garage to fix it. Instead, I put a request on whocanfixmycar and Jack came straight back to me with a quote for £140. We arranged a time for the following day, and Jack travelled to my house and carried out all the work I had asked for (including an advisory from the MOT) quickly and efficiently. The following day, the car passed its MOT retest with no advisories. Very happy customer.
Very reliable would use again
Top bloke and a crackin job and price.. Don't go to anyone else
Excellent service will be using again
Excellent all round service for the price. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
They quoted a price and apart from a faulty head light which had to be added,;that's the price I paid. Collected and dropped off my car - great price, great job, great garage.
They actually charged me less then the quote as the brake fluid did not need changed. The guys at the garage were great, definitely will use them again
Excellent customer service with Steve Martin (owner/manager). I've owned Audi A3's for many years now and used a flexible long-life service with Main Dealer, but find them very expensive these days. Britannia Auto Centre provided same service and uses Original Equipment parts/dealership recommended lubricants etc. and I was highly impressed with their efficiency and with a courtesy car provided too. Would not hesitate to use for future services/MOT's. K.Walton. 28.04.2016.
Bang on!! Price quoted was the price I paid. They inspected my front discs and pads and said they were fine, no need to replace. Hire car was spot on and a nice little touch giving it to me free of charge for being a first time customer although the £10 charge it would have been, is a good price. Would thoroughly recommend.
An excellent service ... great communications, everything explained simply, flexible and a superb courtesy car. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Steve got back to me with a quote extremely quickly and happily answered any queries I had regarding the price. for example the original quote was £160 which I thought was extremely cheap, I asked a question whether everything was included in the price but the discs were not. this meant the price increased slightly but it was still by the cheapest price by far at £225. I was most impressed when I was offered a brand new courtesy car while mine was having work done, which is a real bonus! all in all the job ended up costing £358 upon the discovery that a calliper needed replacing also, I was more than happy to pay the extra on top of the quote as I was told in good time that it was needed. I found the guys very helpful and easy to deal with and the discovery of an Easter egg and mug after picking my car up made it that bit sweeter..... nice touch!
Steve and the team at Britannia made an excellent job of my car service and MOT. Steve gave friendly and professional advice on my car and as a result it now drives like new. Cannot thank them enough. Great job at a great price. I will be back.
Friendly helpful service, would use again. Part not readily available but they still sourced it for fitting next day.
I would highly recommend Tripal Garage, they fitted my clutch kit in a day and the car drives lovely now - professional service, Many thanks again.
Top garage would use again , thanks
Guy I spoke to was very professional and helpful. Told me exactly what was wrong with the car and also pointed these out. Had agreed to go and get the job done tomorrow morning however my dad suprised me telling me he's booked me in somewhere else and had already paid! Good value for money and feel bad my dad took business away from you! Would deffinately recommend people to try this garage.
Really impressed with the service at Tripal Garage! Having been given the wrong advice from another garage, Parm was very honest about what did need sorting on the car and did it at a very reasonable price. Will be using this garage from now on! Thank you.

Edit: Was eventually able to get through and make a purchase. Failed through Amazon for some reason, but PayPal worked even though I loathe using them.
Love the fact that it's being updated and how well it works with the new iOS, but one complaint I do have is the fact that it's not as customizable as it once was. Does anyone here remember the Gruppled Lockinfo theme? Or if something similar is still possible?
Has anyone had any issues with this tweak? I installed it and selected trial. When I go to the lock screen, and type in my password, it won't type. So I turned off my phone and turned it back on and now I am stuck on the apple screen. If it doesn't open up in the next 5-10 minutes, then I will have to restore. Anyone have any ideas or tips that I should do?
That is just the reboot bug. Hold the power button and the home button down together. Then the apple will disappear. When it does, release the home button until it appears then release the power button. If you reboot while plugged in, this usually doesn't happen. The devs know and are working on a fix.
What kind of crap sale is that???
Oh, it's on sale, but most of you won't be able to buy it. Thanks anyway.
David, I'm surprised at you!
It's the principle. I already own it, so it doesn't affect me either way.
The developer is extending the sale through Wednesday.
So how do we get those widgets in the picture? Mine are just SBSetting's buttons
I know this version is the natural progression if Notification Center but I like LockInfo 4 better. Does it work with iOS 6?

Exhibit examines many facets of women's writing
Beyond Domesticity: U.S. Women Writers, 1770-1915 is on display in the Hollings Library through April 30. A 35-minute audio tour is available. Visitors can either sign out one of five pre-loaded iPods at the Hollings registration desk, or download the audio file directly to their phone or iPod at www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/beyondDomestic.html.
'Beyond Domesticity' examines many facets of women's writing
By University Libraries Office of Communications
As 19th-century U.S. literature scholars, faculty members Katherine Adams and Cynthia Davis knew there were plenty of works written by women from 1770 to 1915 that were not about domestic topics. So they set out to dispel some conventional notions in Beyond Domesticity: U.S. Women Writers, 1770-1915, their first curated exhibit.
As it turns out, they often surprised themselves.
"It was quite exciting to see how many items the University has," said Adams, an associate professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies. "We both do scholarship in this area, so just discovering so many original sources in our very own library was amazing. It was great to look at these first editions, to go into the rare book stacks and see a text signed by Pauline Hopkins or Susan B. Anthony. I don't normally do archival work - my research doesn't require these kinds of sources. But, as I told my students, there's a big, geeky thrill in working with these original sources and books."
Adams' students in ENGL 437 Women Writers course are experiencing the "big, geeky thrill" for themselves. They are contributing to an online version of the exhibit, to go live later this spring.
Books in Beyond Domesticity include Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself (1861), by former slave Harriet Jacobs, who reveals how slavery perverted conventional notions of girlhood and motherhood. Charlotte Perkins Gilman argues in Human Work (1911) that the home was anything but a haven. And in The Awakening (1899), Kate Chopin aligns childbirth with the death of female artistry.
Other exhibit items include a spinning wheel, women's suffrage buttons, clothing, and advertising from the era.
"The idea behind Beyond Domesticity was to challenge how domesticity is only one side of women's experience in the 19th century, and I helped identify materials in the collections that would illustrate that," said Jeffrey Makala, Librarian for Instruction and Outreach in the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections.
"For example, women didn't get the right to vote until 1920, but they were deeply engaged in national politics before that time and they wrote about it," he said. "The History of Woman Suffrage, written in 1887 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Matilda Joslyn Gage, is part of the exhibit. The University has a beautiful copy with a local connection: it was inscribed by Anthony as a gift to the Political Study Club of Columbia in 1895."
| There were surprises even in the works that were about domestic issues.
"You'd think that a domestic manual would present housekeeping in a positive light," said Davis, a professor in the Department of English Language and Literature. "Yet to take one example, Catharine Beecher begins her famous Treatise on Domestic Economy (1843) with a discussion of all the women who were made sick and unhappy by housework. Many of the works in the exhibit contain similar surprises."
The 140 books and other items in the exhibit come from the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections in the Hollings Library, South Caroliniana Library, and McKissick Museum. Each area, along with the faculty members and their departments, worked together to bring the exhibit to life.
"It was a nice collaboration," Makala said. "It's the way things should happen."

NORWALK - The northwest corner of Front Street and Clarkdale Avenue in Norwalk in 1948. Norwalk was founded in the late 19th century but not incorporated until 1957. At the turn of the 19th century, Norwalk was an established dairy center. Of the 50 local families reported in the 1900 census, most were associated with farming or with the dairy industry. Many of the dairy farmers who settled in Norwalk during the early part of the 20th century were Dutch.

You can do it by setting you regulatory file to another region (which I won't tell you since it's easy to find both on google and those forums).
You do not have to install anything on Backtrack, driver rtl8187 does a great job (assuming AWUS036H).
I didn't hear anything about two cables and I got it working to 1W with only one. From memory, USB can handle 1W without any problem.

How to teach an extra hyper kid?
Hi. I have a son, he is turning two this coming April. He seems very active all the time. He would climb on the chair, crawl under the table, run up and down the stairs and we have to chase him when giving him a bath. He is always busy, always finding something to be busy about. My worry is, he might not be able to learn what he is supposed to be learning at his age because he is so so active that he cannot focus. Compared to other children same as his age, they can already talk and follow instructions. My son on the other hand, well he is smart, yes, but he only follows instructions when he feels like listening. Most of the time he does his own thing.
Is he hyperactive? What should we do in order for him to focus so we'd be able to teach him some stuffs?
Thanks so much!

Dear chasermack,
Thank you for sharing your interesting question here.
What you describe sounds normal for an almost two year old. He sounds very inquisitive and interested in exploring the world around him; what wonderful attributes to have! At this age, children often find it difficult to listen to instructions. It can really help if you bend your knees so that you are at their level and get their attention first (for instance, by gently tapping them and calling their name) before you ask them something.
The very best way to learn is through play. Studies now show that even up to seven years of age children learn better through play than any other method. It sounds like your son is doing a great job at this.
I wonder if you would consider your son to be quite 'strong willed'. Sometimes particularly bright, interested toddlers can appear defiant when they are simply wanting to explore more of the world around them. This article by Little Hearts Gentle Parenting is excellent at discussing this topic: The Gift of a Strong-Willed Child. In particular, the author LR Knost notes that strong-willed children learn through doing and they are often intensely independent.
The website the imagination tree has some superb ideas for encouraging and facilitating your child to learn through imagination and play.
If you still feel that your son is suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) then note that keeping sugar and processed foods to a minimum can really help with this. A sign of ADHD in toddlers is that they are easily distracted from play and find it hard to concentrate on a particular game or toy; I don't think this is what you are describing. ADHD is very difficult to diagnose in children under 4 years of age. From what you have described I would not feel he has ADHD (I have worked with children who do have ADHD), however, if you are still concerned then do see your doctor.
I hope this is helpful. Please do post back and let me know your thoughts on this.
Warm wishes,

HARROGATE, Tenn.- The Brevard College Tornados dropped both games of a doubleheader to Lincoln Memorial at Hennon Field on Saturday afternoon, falling 8-3 in the opener before taking an 11-8 loss in game two.
Game 1: LMU 8, BC 3
The Tornados scored in a run in the 8th and the 9th but it wasn't enough for BC to overcome a 7-1 LMU lead after seven innings.
The Railsplitters took a 2-0 advantage in the bottom of the 1st against Zac Joyce (L, 2-3) before the Tornados got a run back in the 2nd on a Chad Fisher RBI single.
The Railsplitters then scored five unanswered runs to take a 7-1 lead before BC's offense started to come around in the final two innings.
BC got a run in the top of the 8th on a Brock Helton solo homer, but LMU's Kelvin Brito answered with a solo jack in the in the home half.
The Tornados grabbed another run on a John Slade RBI single in the 9th but it was too little too late for BC as LMU's Zac Butler (W, 4-4) finished off his complete game with a fielder's choice groundout.
Game 2: LMU 11, BC 8
The Railsplitter rallied from three separate deficits on their way to completing the sweep in game three, grabbing the lead for good with four runs in the bottom of the 6th against BC reliever Hunter McBride (L, 0-1).
The Tornados broke a 6-6 tie in the 5th on a double by Brayden Morris that scored Caleb Sherman and Chip Helton, giving BC an 8-6 advantage.
LMU had tied the game in the bottom of the 3rd on Nick Morabito's two-run homer off BC starter JD Chaplain. The righty was lifted in favor of reliever Dustin Haithcox with two outs in the 4th.
BC had taken a 6-4 lead with four runs in the 3rd, sparked by RBI singles by John Slade and Chip Helton. Eric Renegar scored Slade with a groundball to third, and Morris capped the outburst with an RBI single to center.
Brevard got off to a 2-0 start in the 1st after singles from Matthew Proffitt, Chad Fisher and John Slade to start the game. Brock Helton delivered the first run on an RBI groundout before Chip Helton plated Fisher with a sacrifice fly.
The Railsplitters got to Chaplain for four runs in the bottom of the 1st with the help of a BC fielding error, which led to three of the runs being unearned.
The Tornados are back in action on Tuesday as they travel to Young Harris for a nonconference matchup with the Mountain Lions at Zell B. Miller Field at 5 p.m.

On October 31st, I hope…
You made your favorite people a sugary treat.
You did something spooky. It could have been watching a scary movie…or Hocus Pocus. That Bette Midler is pretty dang spooky.
You carved a pumpkin.
You wore an awesome costume.
You drank something called "witches brew."
You saw trick-or-treaters.
You ate your favorite candy.
You didn't wear a sexy officer/Disney character/zombie/animal costume. Dressing as a sexy cat is not cool anymore, guys. It's just not.
You brushed your teeth.
In honor of the day after Halloween, I've got another savory pumpkin dish for you. I included lots of greens (to make up for the candy) and some sweet chili sauce too (just in case you're having sugar withdrawals.) I have a weakness for Asian sweet chili sauce, especially with foods like pumpkin and sweet potato. I try to seek out organic brands that don't use sketchy-sounding ingredients.
It only takes a little chopping and some pre-roasting (of the pumpkin) to get this show on the road. The beauty of a stir fry is that once you've got your ingredients ready to go, the cooking part takes less than 10 minutes.
Boom. You've got a hot and satisfying meal ready to go.
- olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or minced
- 1 small red chili, seeds removed or 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
- 1 cup trimmed snow peas, cut in half
- 1/2 cup asparagus, chopped into
- 1-inch pieces1 cup mushrooms, sliced (I used white button mushrooms)
- 1 1/2 cups roasted pumpkin, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
To roast pumpkin (can be done ahead): Heat oven to 400 F/205 C and cut pumpkin into 1-inch chunks. Place pumpkin on an oiled baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30-40 minutes in the oven, until golden, completely cooked through and soft.
Heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a large pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Add garlic, chili and ginger and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and not yet browning.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Toss in the asparagus and cook for a minute, then add the snow peas and cook for a minute longer.
Add your cooked pumpkin, soy sauce and sweet chili sauce and cook, stirring, for another minute or two until the pumpkin is heated through and the green vegetables are slightly tender but still have a little crunch.
Serve hot with rice or on its own.

Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe writes memoir detailing arrest in Prague
Listen to Lamb of God on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - The surreal plight of Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe was one of the more bizarre stories of 2012. After the band's airplane touched down in Prague, where the group was scheduled to play a concert in June of that year, Blythe was arrested and charged with manslaughter.
The arrest stemmed from a 2010 incident in which Blythe allegedly pushed 19-year-old fanDaniel Nosek off the stage, and the man died of head injuries two weeks later. Blythe and the band claim they were not informed about Nosek's death, so the arrest came as a complete shock upon their return to Prague.
The singer spent over a month in a Czech prison before he was released on $400,000 bail (upped from an original $200,000), and allowed to go home until the trial. He eventually came back to Prague, and was tried and acquitted in March 2013. The ordeal reportedly bankrupted the band, which will tour all summer to speed their return to the black.
The experience inspired Blythe not only to channel his frustration and aggression into his performances, but also to write his memoir, which will be released on DaCapo books in Spring 2014.

mm there need a solution for this is not?
It is not a BT4 bug. Had the issue too and some research helped on how to solve it.
Can't remember anymore since it was a really rare case and you are trying to mess with stuff you shouldn't. If it is your own AP, just change the channel I'd recommend
Tiocfaidh ár lá
its my own stuf.. but i work channel 13 for the best quality wirelles..... because i have 6 neighbours with a wirelles connection... and onchannel 13 and 12 i have the best connection but in suse is it not working to
Yeah, because it is an issue not directly linked to BT.
Well if you want to experiment and try change the channel for the time being to one below 13.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
i will
but its a language setting lol
i google much 2 the solution but
echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU" > /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211
it not works ^^^^
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Kid Rock threatens to shoot trespasser
Listen to Kid Rock on iHeartRadio
Kid Rock is making it clear that he isn't someone to be messed with. The rocker recently posted a message on his website showing a man who allegedly tried to break into his Clarkston, Michigan home this past Wednesday.
Rock says the suspect is lucky he wasn't on the property during the alleged trespassing, explaining that as an "avid hunter and marksman," he "will not hesitate" to shoot anyone who puts himself or his family in danger.
He adds that he takes his "personal space very seriously" regardless of who the culprit may be. Rock is asking that anyone with information on the suspect contact police. He's also offering his own $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the man's arrest.

AMES, Iowa -- Eleven Iowa 4-H'ers are partnering with 4-H professionals and representatives from agricultural industry and land-grant universities to teach others about agricultural science and innovation. Lyon and O'Brien County 4-H youth joined teams of youth and adults from 13 states at the National Youth Agri-Science Summit Jan. 16-20.
AMES, Iowa -- Eleven Iowa 4-H'ers are partnering with 4-H professionals and representatives from agricultural industry and land-grant universities to teach others about agricultural science and innovation. Lyon and O'Brien County 4-H youth joined teams of youth and adults from 13 states at the National Youth Agri-Science Summit Jan. 16-20.
Sponsored by Merck Animal Health, the summit provided numerous opportunities for youth to learn about the latest innovations in agricultural science and technology and increase their awareness of the careers available in this rapidly expanding field. The summit took place at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Md.
Lyon County 4-H'ers Jessica Harberts, Brooke Matson, Sierra Fastert, Heather Moser and Rebecca Van Regenmorter, along with chaperone Jill Postma, and O'Brien county 4-H'ers Leah Bunkers, Eric Koehlmoos, Stephanie Maass, Karle Negus, Jake Sells and Taylor Paulsen, along with chaperone Doug Koehlmoos, participated in the summit. The Iowans met with representatives from the United States Department of Agriculture, Rutgers University, University of Maryland, Merck Animal Health and several national agricultural commodity groups and regional agribusinesses to learn about the production of food, feed, fuel and fiber and the challenges currently facing agriculture in the United States and around the world.
The five-day event included field trips to the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The summit also included an agricultural issues forum, career panel and several hands-on workshops about global food security, sustainability and how youth can play a role in teaching others about agricultural science. Session topics included precision agriculture, agricultural biotechnology, biofuels, aquaponics, food safety, the role of robotics in agriculture and international agricultural development.
In addition, the 4-H teens worked in teams to research an agricultural science topic and develop a poster for their team presentations on the final day of the summit. The teens learned several activities they can facilitate with others to increase the understanding of agricultural science in their communities.
"It is exciting to work with such a talented, motivated and dedicated group of young people," said Chad Ripberger, program director for science at National 4-H Council. "I was very impressed with the level of interactions and discussions these young leaders had with the ag scientists and researchers. It was clear from their poster session presentations that these teens are ready to tackle some of the biggest issues facing agriculture today."
The National Youth Agri-Science Summit is one of many 4-H science programs designed to combat a national shortage of young people pursuing science college majors and occupations, and to enhance the nation's contribution to the sciences. Currently, more than five million young people across the nation participate in 4-H science, engineering and technology year-long programming.
Through 2015, it is estimated that there will be 54,400 annual job openings for those with agricultural college degrees. While the percentage of these opportunities in production agriculture (farming) has declined, 27 percent of these jobs will be in science and engineering and 47 percent will be in management and business. A shortfall of graduates for these science and business positions is projected, especially for the anticipated demand in animal and plant biotechnology. These emerging areas of agriculture are addressing some of the world's most pressing issues related to food security, nutrition, energy and sustainability.
As part of the Cooperative Extension System of USDA and implemented by the nation's land-grant colleges and universities, 4-H has been educating youth in the sciences for more than 100 years. 4-H's robust, university research-based science curriculum equips young people with the necessary technical skills to help America maintain its competitive edge in the global marketplace.

Was $169.95 NOW $99.95
This is a faithful replica of a "Jacket, Combat, Winter" issued to U.S. armored vehicle crewmen during WWII. Colloquially referred to by soldiers as the "tanker jacket", its waist cut, bi-swing back, and lack of bulky protuberances improved a crouching or sitting crewman's mobility inside a tank's cramped interior. Every bit as lightweight and comfortable as its predecessor, this jacket uses the same 12-oz. cotton twill dyed to an authentic OD for its outer shell and two-ply wool for its knit collar, waistband, and cuffs. Updated for modern wear, its 50% wool/50% nylon body lining and quilted 100% polyester sleeve lining provide the all-season warmth of the original. Particular to the revised PQD Spec. 26A designation from early 1942, it has two cotton-lined front slash pockets and a wool-backed wind flap behind the brass zipper. Made by Cockpit, suppliers of outerwear to the USAF and Navy, it is cut for a generous fit. Khaki. Men's sizes M (40), L (42-44), XL (46), and XXL (48-50). (3 lb)

Boxy jacket
By Air Force retiree spouse
from Maryland
Purchased this jacket as a Christmas present for my husband. He's happy with the jacket but I think the styling could be improved. It hangs squarely from his broad shoulders. I think it could be more fitted. He has other military style bomber or pilot jackets and this is the boxier yet. Otherwise it's good quality and he reported that it was warm when he wore it yesterday.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I looked at all of them, and this one seemed to be the correct color, and looked correct. I wasn't mistaken. I normally wear an extra large, but a large was perfect
Not what I had hopef
By Jim
from Grosse Pointe, MI
Coat is relatively shapeless, not surprising for a military replica. Fit could be enhanced by tightening the nylon elastic fabric around the waist. Material seems to stretch out quickly and add to the poor overall fit of the coat.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

25 Things About Emma Watson
Everything you want to know about the 'Harry Potter' 'It' girl and fashion icon.
-Nora Breznai
At the ripe old age of nine, Emma Watson became a part of a multi-million dollar movie franchise known as Harry Potter. As soon as the world met the British cutie, we instantly fell in love with her. In the past ten years, we've watched her grace the cover of magazines, balance being a fashion icon as well as a regular college student, and cut her locks into an adorable pixie.
Emma is a mix of beauty and brains – the kind of girl you want to befriend, thanks to her chic sense of style and the fact that she doesn't count her calories. As the last HP movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, is set to release next week, what will Emma do next? We'll just have to wait and see.
Read Bill Rancic on Infertility, Hope, and Keeping Things Sexy With Giuliana Rancic
Until then, here's a plethora of information you may not have known about Ms. Watson:
1. Emma grew up in Paris, and then moved to Oxford, England at the age of five after her parents divorced.
2. At 9-years old and with no professionally acting experience, she was cast as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series.
3. She's one smart cookie! While on the HP sets, Emma and her fellow cast members were tutored five days a week. In 2008, she received top grades for A-Level examinations in art history, geography and English literature.
4. She just wanted to be a regular college student studying Liberal Arts at Brown University. But, she decided to drop out — NOT do to the speculated bullying rumors from fellow students. Her busy schedule for the last Harry Potter installments and other commitments were the reason behind the school split.
5. Not only is she beautiful and talented, but Emma is also a strong believer in fair trade. She worked with People Tree to create a sustainable and fair trade fashion line.
6. Emma also collaborated with Alberta Ferretti to create an organic clothing line. The five-piece line called Pure Threads debuted this past March.
7. This summer, Emma will begin working on a new film in Pittsburgh called The Perks of being a Wallflower.
8. She is not a calorie counter! "L.A. scares the crap out of me," Watson has said. "I feel if I have to work out four hours a day, and count the calories of everything I put in my mouth, and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad. I will absolutely lose it."
9. This year, Emma was nominated for the "Best Actress" category for the Jameson Empire Award and the 24th Nickelodeon Awards for her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. She did not win the awards, but she's a winner in our minds!
10. Emma was in One Night Only's music video in 2010 for "Say You Don't Want It."

Teen Pregnancy and Post Partum Depression
Hi all,
I have a young cousin, 14 years old, and she recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Mum and babe are doing fine, but about two weeks ago, this teen mother lost her own mother to a sudden heart attack. There were small signs that Taylor (the teen) might be suffering from slight depression after the birth of her child. I've never given birth myself, so I wasn't sure if this was normal. Some people in my family assured me that it was in some cases, and since they have children of their own I listened to them. However with the loss of Taylor's mother, I'm starting to get worried. Taylor's son, Elijah, was born in January, so he's barely two months old. And he's a colicky babe as well. Taylor's mother was doing the majority of the childcare, but now that she is gone most of that is falling on Taylor as her father is really at a loss himself for what to do, and he is grieving the loss of his wife as well. My fear is that Taylor's depression is worsening. It could be simply from the grief over losing her mother, but she has a child that is largely relying on her and I fear for them both because Taylor is in such a fragile emotional state. I know there are several support groups for mothers suffering PPD, but I'm not sure about any specifically geared towards teen mothers that are suffering from this form of depression. I would value any insight you all might have into this situation. I wanted to get some advice before I speak with Taylor's father, so any help you all can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Hopefulmom,
Your family is to be commended for supporting your cousin during her pregnancy at such a young age.
A few ideas...
1. Stress is often a big cause of depression, and in your cousin's case, post partum depression. She went through a difficult 9 months of being pregnant (stress on the body), having to make critical decisions during her pregnancy, and having to deal with social pressure of being pregnant while attending high school (emotional stress). Now that baby is here, she has had to heal (physically) and care for her baby (physical and emotional stress).
If she did not eat a highly nutritious diet during pregnancy and after, she is likely suffering from some degree of adrenal fatigue. When the adrenals get tired, they aren't able to produce hormones in the proper amounts and then a biochemical imbalance occurs. She may feel like she doesn't have the energy that she used to. She may feel like she can't cope with things that she used to be able to cope with. She may feel sad often and she may cry often. She may also startle easier (noises that shouldn't startle her will startle her) and she may find that she has a hard time losing "pregnancy weight" or that she puts weight on around her middle/tummy area. Another sign of adrenal fatigue can be hair loss. She may have some of these symptoms to varying degrees.
One thing that can be very helpful for bringing her mood up (lifting her spirits so she's not so sad) is a vitamin called Inositol. This is part of the "B" vitamin family. It helps with depression/anxiety, high cholesterol, hair problems, eczema and diabetic neuropathy.
Inositol is a white powder and it is sweet. I take it every day and I mix it with applesauce (just makes my applesauce sweeter - doesn't have a flavor to it). You can also take it in capsules but I think it would be easier for her to just put it in some applesauce or yogurt and eat it that way. I think she would get more of it that way, then trying to take a bunch of capsules.
The powder I have has a scoop in it which measures 6 grams. She could start with 3 grams (1/2 scoop) and increase by 3 grams every 5 days, going up to 12 grams per day, if needed. This might look like this:
Monday-Friday - 3 grams
Saturday-Wednesday 6grams
Thursday-Monday - 9 grams
Tuesday and ongoing - 12 grams
Insitold is known to lift mood by increasing serotonin levels when needed and also helps with the regulation of appetite and sleep. It breakdowns of fats and reduces cholesterol. She can reduce the inositol or stop altogether when she starts feeling better - I think I'd reduce it slowly, in the same pattern as it was increased.
She may not have the capability to do this herself simply because she's dealing with so much right now. Maybe her dad or a sibling or even a friend could be in charge of doing this for her each day. I have my 7 year old make my inositol for me each morning - she just puts a scoop in applesauce, mixes it up and brings it to me. I don't have to think about doing it. That's her responsibility and it helps me.
One other thing Inositol is good for is relieving constipation. If she's not drinking enough water and not eating enough high fiber foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, she may be dealing with constipation. The more constipated she is, the more toxins will be staying in her body and in her blood system, which makes it much harder for her to stay healthy and be happy.
I'm happy to give you more suggestions for your cousin if you'd like. We all will give suggestion on how to deal with a collicky/fussy baby, and just offer whatever support we can.
Is she breastfeeding? Is she trying to go to school now, or is she putting that off for now?
Oh - and she needs to continue her prenatal vitamin supplement or get on a multi-vitamin to help her get the full complex of B vitamins which are so important for energy, mood, weight control and so much more. My guess is that she's not eating a high quality diet (with mom gone, and being only 14) which means she's not getting the nutrients she needs to be able to function well.
Keep those questions coming - we're here to support you and your cousin.
Warm regards,

Thank you so much Kate for all of your wonderful suggestions. I will be speaking with Taylor's father as well as her big sister (sis is 30) tomorrow about ways we can help Taylor and I will bring up the suggestions you've posted here. I think I might look into trying the Inositol myself as well as purchasing some for Taylor. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions.

Dear hopefulmom,
I'm very sorry to hear what your cousin has been through recently. Post partum depression is very common and that is without adding the emotional grief of your cousin dealing with losing her mother.
There are local support groups available where mums who are going through depression can talk to trained professionals. Post partum depression is also more common in mums who had a traumatic birth. If this is the case with your cousin, then many midwives offer an 'after thoughts' service where the mum can talk through the birth with them and start to come to terms with what has happened.
This can take time and it may be a long process. As a mum bonds more and more with her baby this can help to heal emotional or traumatic wounds surrounding the birth and the demands of dealing with a newborn baby. This is what I personally found. I also found that breastfeeding (once it had been well established), co-sleeping and baby wearing helped in this bonding process.
I agree with Kate that a new mum also needs to look after herself nutritionally when she is suffering from depression.
I hope things start to get easier for you and your family soon.

Hopeful Mom,
I am sorry to hear what your family is going through. Your poor cousin, I think that Kate and LJ covered pretty much everything. You are right to be concerned. Postnatal depression can become very serious and must be nearly unbearable when compounded with the loss of a parent and your cousin's young age. I would definitely encourage your cousin to get in to see a therapist.
Best of luck to you all.

Growing up, vacations typically involved traveling with my parents and a carful of siblings to Kentucky to visit my grandparents. While I always enjoyed our family vacations, as I got older, I started taking vacations by myself. I enjoyed the peace and quiet and the ability to do what I wanted, when I wanted and without consulting anyone else. If you've always vacationed with a group, you may find that a solo vacation will open your eyes to adventures, places and people you may not have seen, but it may also take some adjustment.
If you've never vacationed alone before, try it close to home first. Make it a one- or two-day trip. Attend a festival or fair, sporting event, or daytime cooking classes. Try being a tourist in your home town by visiting interesting and educational events or attractions that you've "always wanted to see, but never got around to."
Once you've got the knack for it, visit www.discoverohio.com to expand your travels throughout Ohio. Some of the simple pleasures you might find include:
Maybe you find yourself invited out of town to a friend's party, class reunion, a wedding or family get-together. Build on these "must-go" trips and add a few days to see the local sites or just stop at whatever grabs your eye as you go by.
Is a vacation with a purpose more your speed? Take a week off to help at a local food bank or Habitat for Humanity project as a way to change up your routine and help others at the same time. Road Scholar offers learning adventures that range from long weekends trips to several weeks of travel, and that are always challenging and satisfying.
When traveling alone, personal security is more of a concern, so travel safely. If driving, make sure your car is road-ready with good tires, a recent oil change and an emergency kit that includes water, a blanket, flares and more. Carry a cell phone and keep it charged. Notify a trusted friend or family member of your plans. Resist the urge to post your travel plans on social media, such as Facebook - doing so could tell the wrong people that your home is empty. After you've returned, share all the wonderful pictures and memories you acquired.
No matter what you plan to do this year, take some time to travel solo. I know I'm looking forward to a few days to myself this summer. I might even take in the Historic US 40 National Road Yard Sale that covers over 800 miles. I Just hope I have enough room in my car and cash in my pocket.

One Direction reveal Zayn Malik was almost kicked out of group
Listen to One Direction on iHeartRadio
Zayn Malik, one-fifth of One Direction, has learned his lesson about sleeping in.
During a London press conference to promote their upcoming documentary "This Is Us" on Monday, the group revealed that Zayn came close to being ousted after showing up late to rehearsals when they were first starting out.
His bandmate Liam Payne was speaking about their first meetings, saying that it was "a bit strange trying to get people together for rehearsals" and that "to this day it's a struggle to get Zayn out of bed." The documentary's director Morgan Spurlock then chimed in to jog their memories saying, "Remember he didn't show up and you were going to fire him?"
The boys don't seem to be holding anything against him three years later, now that they've shot to international fame as a group. Their film will be getting a grand premiere in London next week, and hits theaters in the U.S. on August 30th.

The No. 16 Buick Regal was built for NASCAR racing by Banjo Mathews in November of 1988 for David Pearson's Chattanooga Chew sponsored team. Pearson's son was the driver during the 1989 Winston Cup season before it was sold to historic stock car dealer and driver Gene Felton.
The original No. 16 Chattanooga Chew is a gem for collectors of NASCAR items since it comes from a well-known constructor, has ties to a famous team and had success in the NASCAR Historic Racing series after its "retirement." Felton had rebuilt the car and passed it to a client who in turn sold it to the present owner, an avid historic racer, in 1995. Prior to this, Felton gave "old 16" a good run in the 12-Hours of Sebring IMSA endurance contest of 1994.
But the Regal itself is interesting. Frequently sharing the same body and power-train as the Century, the Buick Regal was a mid-size that was produced by General Motors from 1973 through 2004. Slow to react to develop in the lower-priced, mid-size luxury market, Buick wanted to market to compete against the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, the Grand Prix and the Monte Carlo.
The Regal marked the unveiling of the first major restyling of the GMs intermediate body design since 1968. This was also the first major restyling for both the Monte Carlo and the Grand Prix. The original Regal shared the front and rear styling of the Century, though subtle distinctions separated them and included differing grilles and taillight lenses. The newly fashionable "opera windows" were also featured in the Buick Regal rather than the traditional roll-down windows. More often, Regal interiors were found to be much more luxurious than lesser Century models and featured wood-grain trim on both dashboard and door panels, and notchback bench seats with center armrests with velour, cloth or vinyl upholstery, and door-pull straps. The No. 16 Chattanooga Chew last appeared on car auction sites in 2006 when it sold for $44,000.
