Balzano said Saturday he isn't targeting Boy Scouts. But given the city's decision in July to lay off 39 SEIU members, Balzano said "there's to be no volunteers." No one except union members may pick up a hoe or shovel, plant a flower or clear a walking path...Balzano said Saturday the union is still looking into the matter and might cut the city a break. "We are probably going to let this one go," Balzano said .

No, I think I'm done with graduate degrees. However, I am recommending my intern from last summer, therefore I need the link so I can find the judging criteria.

My son was famous for his "fish face" as well at about the same age -- our reaction was such that after a while he learned to make it on cue.

Thomas definitely wouldn't have been able to tackle pizza crust at Spencer's age, but now that he's got a pretty good set of baby teeth (central & lateral incisors and first molars), he does pretty well with most things especially pizza crust and bagels.

Spencer also really likes cherry tomatoes, though we don't have any pictures of him eating those.

Some interesting stats on Obama's appointees for ambassadorships. A number of them are not from the foreign service, and have been big democratic contributors over the years. That being said, they do seem pretty-well qualified as well.

I think the banging says more like, "Give it to me! NOW! You're not feeding me fast enough!" and the grabbing of the spoon says, "No, you fool! Here, let me show."

This is adorable! I wish Hazel was this excited about eating from a spoon.

Give her time. We are crazy, and started giving him stuff around 3 months, so he has had plenty of time to warm up to it. Then again, every kid is different, which is part of what makes it fun.

Paul: that does sound similar. The main difference seems to be that Parrotview is getting the store to install their software (just a few lines of javascript), so that the user doesn't have to go to any other site. The user doesn't even have to know what Parrotview is. The challenge of course is to convince companies to add those few lines of javascript.
