My Room: Bowie
San Francisco, CA
Bowie's room may be small, but that almost adds to the charm of this playful underseas space. Hope shares: We always thought we would move out of our condo before having kids, but getting pregnant soon after returning from a 13-month around-the-world trip in the midst of the housing crisis meant we had to make our space work. Though our home has 2 bedrooms, the rooms are on different floors and I didn't want to be running down the stairs if our little man needed me. The solution: convert our 4.5' x 7.5' walk-in closet into his nursery. Nobody puts baby in the closet! Except us.
Our biggest challenge (besides the size constraints) was the lack of natural light and ventilation in the closet. We solved this by having our contractor friend install a manually venting skylight with remote control blackout curtain. We considered a Solatube but balked at the $900 price tag when the ventilation kit was included.
I grew up as a swimmer and my husband is into surfing (kite, wind, and good old regular board surfing) so we thought it appropriate to go with an underwater theme for Bowie's room. I wanted the nursery to be a calm, serene (but fun) space for him. We ended up with a relaxing space that our little guy loves! And just in time—we put the finishing touches on the nursery the day before I went into labor!

You did a great job, especially considering the space you had to work with!
I really enjoy the modern take on a nautical theme.
I adore tiny nurseries and this is just beyond sweet while staying interesting and modern. I love it.
i love it. but what did you do with all your clothes and shoes?
i love it. i like small nurseries, too. the mismatched undersea artwork is great. jordan ferney's sons sleep in a closet, too. cute!
I like it. We used the closet/hallway in our apartment and it has been great. It is extra quiet and an air purifier helps clean the air and provide white noise.
That oval crib is beautiful! Stellar art choices as well.
One of my favorite featured nurseries! Light, bright and cozy all at the same time.
OMG Hope! You're famous! What a fun surprise to see you up here. Can't wait to see this incredible little space in person one day. Big hugs, Aisha & Beckett
can you explain how you transformed those Ikea lack shelves.... it looks like you did some hacking there and I love it! Would love to know what you did.
The reason no one puts their baby in a closet is because it's a fire code violation. Every bedroom must have two means of exit. We just did a huge reno and failed the inspection because our guest bedroom window was not big enough to use as a safe exit. We had to redo the window.
I love the name Bowie, I wish I could've talked my husband into it.
I DID talk my husband into the name Bowie. We're on the east coast so they won't be in the same kindergarten class;)
I love this room! Great sense of style!
thanks for all your nice comments, everyone! i'm virtually blushing. :)
@k8theriver we are fortunate to have a pretty large bedroom, so we bought some ikea wardrobes and lined an entire wall of our room with them. bonus: noise control!
@alison no hacking necessary! buy those shelves here: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40163778
@enneirda yay for bowies!
@aisha HI!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Great job!
my 3 yr old is named bowie. :)
So great - I really like the collection of artwork and the colors you used to make such a small space seem light and airy. Job very well done.
obvious proof that you can make any space work. Good for you!
I'm pretty sure that if there were a fire in a two story house and the baby were all the way downstairs, he/she wouldn't be able to make use of the windows anyway. So why would putting the baby in a converted closet right next to your bed be a bigger concern?
All that aside, I love tiny nursery spaces, too, and this one is really cute and does look pretty relaxing. Babies just need the basics.
Amazing use of space and so cute! We had our oldest in our bedroom closet until he was 2 and it worked out great.
@atarichamp - no, baby couldn't climb out the window, but the fire fighters could climb in to save him if he was trapped in by the door. Now, as long as you take the door off, it wouldn't technically be another room, just an alcove in a bigger room. No door to get trapped behind.
I have a Bowie too - it was the only name my man and I could agree on for HER :)
What size Ribba frame is used for the AB Sea poster? I bought the artwork as well but none of the Ribbas are a perfect fit. Did you cut the mat down of the biggest size?
@biolau yes, i did cut down the mat. i have a mat cutter at home, purchased at an art supply store. practice first before you cut a mat! :)

TEAMS: Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers
BOSTON — Doc Rivers has been there. He has been dismissed as the head coach of an NBA team less than a month into the season, and he can tell from experience that it is not very fun. When Mike Brown was fired by the Lakers on Friday, a whole five games into the season, Rivers immediately came to mind. Rivers was only four years removed from winning the NBA's Coach of the Year award when the Orlando Magic let him go 11 games into the 2003-04 season, which freed him up to be a television analyst and, eventually, to become head coach of the Celtics. "He beat my record," Rivers said, invoking gallows humor shortly before the Celtics played the Sixers at the TD Garden. "Obviously, I think that's awful. I thought mine was awful, too, by the way. Five games into a season, that's hard to believe. It's hard to believe especially when guys are injured." Dwight Howard is suffering from the aftereffects of offseason back surgery, Steve Nash is out with a slight fracture in his left lower leg an...

"Interception 3" 2011
Vandalism against surveillance
The "Interception" series of actions consists in illegal interception of CCTV cameras monitoring urban areas. The intercepted CCTV cameras are then used in order to raise public awareness of the growing issues of social surveillance implemented by means of technological devices -"Surveillance Culture".
This time the action involved the use of a remote control robot constructed by the author himself. The robot enabled monitoring of the location of a security officer who supervised the part of the residential area concerned. Such a solution permitted to carry out an effective intervention at the perfect time.
The robot had been designed and constructed at home with the use of the generally available technology (shops selling model kits, CCTV devices, electrical appliances, metal and aluminium strips). No construction elements (subassemblies) had been purchased with the use of a credit card and their selection had not been discussed on online forums, which made potential identification of the creator of such a device significantly more difficult.
The action was illegal.
Through his artistic activity, Roch Forowicz refers to the 'city surveillance' culture – constant supervision by means of CCTV and data processing and filing software and devices.His activity is radical, often characterised by illegal 'hacktivist' interventions, consisting in intercepting and using technological devices against their creators' will.

The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office was out in force Thursday night rounding up people accused of writing hot checks.
Lubbock County Assistant District Attorney Wade Jackson said there are roughly 117 people who wrote about $82,000 dollars worth of bad checks around the South Plains.
Jackson said about 22 officials from the area are seeking out the suspects.
Suspects may be given a chance to pay back some of the money - others will go to jail.
KCBD will have more on this story as arrests are made.

TV Critics Roundtable: "The New Normal"
What do you make of the sitcom staple of having a gay couple where one is typically masculine and the other is more stereotypically gay?
TRISH BENDIX: Honestly, I don't think that Modern Family is as great of an example of this as The New Normal is/will be. I find the men on Modern Family to be more alike than the ones on The New Normal. However, I think that it's just easier to write for when people in couples are so radically different. I think the best example of a non-stereotypical gay man on TV is Happy Endings' Max, and the men he dates seem to be just as non-stereotypical. So it can be done without these stereotypes, but I think it's so hard to rid of stereotypes altogether when it comes to writing for network TV.
DAMIAN HOLBROOK: I'm sad that the two characters are so cookie cutter. You know, the butch and the fem. There's no shades of grey there. The fact that Justin's character at the end gets emotional…why can't these just be two well-drafted characters who are both emotional and possibly aspects of both sides of this coin? And it did feel like it took a while for it to get to any genuine laughs because the other laughs were traded on, 'Oh, he's so nelly' and, 'He watches sports. He's talking to the sports.'
LAURA PRUDOM: The 'I want to have a little accessory baby that I can dress up.' I feel like that is a great disservice…but it has to played
JIM HALTERMAN: It was funny that the one genuine laugh I had was when the little girl [Bebe Wood] makes the comment about Rannells' pants. And he says something like, 'They're very expensive.' And she goes, 'To me they don't look like that.' Her line made me laugh. And then they said in the panel (at the Television Critics Association Press Tour) that she improvised that line.
Does a little NeNe Leakes go a long or short way?
AE: What did you think of NeNe Leakes and her role?
DAN FIENBERG: On Glee, I've actually found myself liking NeNe Leakes quite a bit. She has a great comedic delivery and a very different screen energy. In New Normal, however, I can already find myself sensing that a little NeNe Leakes goes a long way.
JIM HALTERMAN: And this may be a little bit outside of the show, but I can't help but think about the fact that there seems to be a nice bridge for people from reality TV. I mean, we've been seeing the transition whether it's Elisabeth Hasselbeck from Survivor to The View…
DAMIAN HOLBROOK: Or even David Giuntoli (Road Rules to NBC's Grimm).
JIM HALTERMAN: But it will be interesting if all of sudden you kind of forget that that's where she came from.
DAMIAN HOLBROOK: It would be amazing to say that NeNe Leakes was the groundbreaker, that crossover artist that Traci Lords never got to be from porn to legitimate television. But NeNe clearly is playing very much herself and that character she honed to perfection on Real Housewives, it works in these roles that she gets. She's eminently watchable.
AE: Your prediction? Will the show click with viewers and enjoy a long run? Or burn out quickly?
DAN FIENBERG: NBC needs something to succeed. Anything. And I think NBC made a big commitment to land The New Normal. To my mind, that makes The New Normal more likely to have at least a multi-season run than several of NBC's other new comedies.
LAURA PRUDOM: I think the fact that its Ryan Murphy will give it a boost in the beginning.
DAMIAN HOLBROOK: I just think straight America is going to be like, 'Oh those funny gays, let's watch that.'
TRISH BENDIX: It'll be really interesting to see how viewers respond, but I think they have some great talent both on camera and behind it. I'm more concerned for Season 2 or whenever the baby is actually delivered and how the surrogate mom will be involved after-the-fact.
JIM HALTERMAN: The time slot is not a guarantee, but I think people will tune in at first if not because they're interested in what they've seen in the many, many promos out there, but also just for the controversy factor and what curiosity that has created. Is this truly as offensive and worthy of the One Million Moms fuss? I'm curious to see how the stereotypes continue, and if that will be the staple of the show– or if the writers will create more three-dimensional characters. Time will tell.
The second episode of The New Normal airs tonight in its regular Tuesday at 9:30 timeslot while the pilot will be re-aired Wednesday at 10:30pm on NBC.

As promised I have done my first Minecraft official video. The hardest thing for me to decide was where to start? "At he beginning" a small nagging voice said (aka "the wife"). So I settled on producing a very in depth, informative and serious quick start guide to Minecraft. FAIL! Unfortunately all I managed to produce was me, very quietly bumbling my way through a new start on a new world while dropping in some pretty poor and tasteless jokes. I should really have done a second take (or maybe a third) but again thanks to my crippling laziness and "that will do" attitude, I didn't.
In short the video will show you what I do every time I start a new world, with a few quick tips thrown in that will make surviving the first few harrowing nights allot easier. It also shows you how to craft all the necessary tools that will allow you to easily harvest resources and go on to pimp out your first safe house. So I have put the video (and embed code) for your viewing pleasure and don't worry if it is not detailed enough for you, I am planning on doing a Quickcraft series of vids that will break down all aspects of Minecraft into easily understandable bite sized chinks. Anyway, have a watch and I hope you enjoy:

If you're like us, and think there are fewer things more beautiful then New York at night in the Summer then we've found your new favorite hang out. Upstairs, the highly anticipated roof top lounge at the Kimberly Hotel is the latest to jump on the rooftop bar bandwagon and we have to say they've done a pretty damn good job.
The 4,000 square foot bar with 360 degree views (including the Chrysler building), fireplace and living walls is easily accessed from the express elevator that you can catch at street level. Exit the elevator and you'll be surprised not to see your run of the mill outside patio furniture, but instead dark antique smoking chairs and stainless-steel lamps that will remind you of old Hollywood. Stroll up to the bar and order yourself a Sidecar riff w/ Hennessy or the Knob Creek/dry vermouth/Maraschino Midtown Manhattan. If you need a snack try out the Truffled Mac & Cheese, the Spiced Duck Cigars with Pomegranate Dipping Sauce or the Baby Lamb Lollipops with Ratatouille. And these are just a few of the amazing offerings at Upstairs.
GetWize: Upstairs is located at the top of the Kimberly Hotel at 145 East 50th Street in NYC. For more information call (212) 702-1600.

The day after Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and Vanderbilt coach James Franklin were at the center of a postgame scuffle, Georgia coach Mark Richt said he's handled the matter within his own program.
"I've addressed it with everybody involved," Richt said about conversations he had after the 33-28 Georgia win Saturday night. "We all know that we want to do things a certain way and we want to be able to keep our poise throughout the ballgame, too."
Richt, assistant coaches and Vanderbilt police tried to separate the teams on the field. Richt has watched a video of the incident that included Grantham and Franklin exchanging angy words.
"Yeah, I saw it," he said. "I just think tempers were hot. It was a very heated ballgame, a very close ballgame, a very emotional ballgame for everybody. It was just a situation where I'm sure words were spoken and all that kind of stuff. When you look at the big picture, it certainly wasn't a pretty scene, but it really could have been a lot worse than it was. I thought coaches on each side and even some players did a good job of just trying to keep the peace and get everybody off the field without anything really horrible happening."
Franklin said in his postgame news conference "some things were said that weren't appropriate."
He was asked about No. 36 for Georgia, safety Shawn Williams.
"I explained to (Richt) at the end what happened," Franklin said. "That's for me and coach Richt to deal with. I have tremendous respect for him. I know he'll handle it the right way."
Richt said Sunday evening there "were some times when things got heated during the game when we need our players at the end of the play to not be chirping or anything, just go back to the sideline if you're on special team or go back to the huddle if you're still on the field as an offensive or defensive player. Let's just play football. As we know it is a very physical game, a very physical battle and emotions do get flared up and some things happen. Sometimes they happen on an accident and everybody gets riled up about it and sometimes it's hard to slow those emotions down."
Richt was asked if he expected any "repercussions," to come from the Southeastern Conference for anything in the game including when it appeared that nose guard Kwame Geathers punched a Vanderbilt player. Richt said: "I have no idea. Right now we're just going to start watching Florida film and put this other game to rest tomorrow. I've not been contacted in any way on those issues and hopefully we won't."

Add Fruit
There are thousands of different kinds of berry-bearing hollies and some of the brightest color splashes come from the deciduous types, like 'Sparkleberry'.
Furnish Color
Where plants won't work, create inanimate color. Paint a piece of lawn furniture, a table or simply just a few rocks you place on the surface of containers. A spring-green chair can keep a patio or porch looking vibrant all winter.
Playing Up the Bark
Select a few specimens with colorful and/or exfoliating bark, like paperbark maple, red-twig dogwood, river birch, crape myrtle, coral bark maple or cherry (shown here). When leaves, flowers and fruits aren't present, a tree or shrub's structure takes center stage.
Hardscaping Rules
In the Zen-like conditions of winter, design elements like the play of light and shadow and the look of a walkway gain importance. Take advantage of the spare nature of the winter landscape by scrutinizing the design of your landscape. RMSer 66nick posted this eye-popping entrance.
Plants and Paint
Pot up a colorful window box or other outdoor containers and place them where they can be viewed from indoors. In areas with moderate winters, plants like heucheras, autumn fern, sedums and pansies keep right on going. In colder areas, use conifers. Tip: To help ensure that your container plants make it through winter, choose plants that are hardy to two zones colder than your climate.

SAN JOSE- For the second time in three years the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks will do battle in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
In the 2011, the top seeded Canucks hosted the two seeded Sharks in the WCF. The then superior Vancouver team dispatched San Jose in five games.
This year the three seeded Canucks will face off with the sixth seeded Sharks in round one, and that's far from the only difference this time around.
For starters, Vancouver isn't as lethal on the back end without the booming shots of Christian Ehrhoff and Sami Salo. Furthermore, Raffi Torres, the most tenacious player on either side, has switched dressing rooms. He was a menace in that conference final, separating Joe Thornton's shoulder in game four with a clean hit. This time around he puts the nasty in San Jose's favor and will do it with much more offense and with much less stupidity than Ben Eager.
Now before Canucks fans go getting their panties in a bundle, Jason Garrison is a nice fill in for Ehrhoff/Salo but he doesn't come close to the same out put.
Put it this way, it is hard to argue the Canucks blue-line wasn't significantly stronger the last time these teams met in the postseason.
Conversely, it is also hard to argue the Sharks blue wasn't significantly weaker in that WCF (with Niclas Wallin and Kent Huskins weighing it down). If Jason Demers is healthy enough to play, then San Jose's defense is definitely a step improved than the one that skated the 2011 WCF.
For what it's worth, the Sharks won all three matchups between the two teams in this shortened season. While the contests were spread out over the course of the year, all three came before the trade deadline. Both teams look a bit different since with Vancouver adding Derek Roy and San Jose adding the aforementioned Torres.
But overall, the point to be had is that these two teams are much more on an even footing this time around.
Even if Vancouver's David Booth were to return, each team has top two lines whom you can't really give much of an edge either way. The Sedin's are great, and Vancouver's second line with Roy, Chris Higgins and Ryan Kesler is solid.
On the other side, Joe Thornton and Brent Burns are a load to handle up front, and Logan Couture, Patrick Marleau and Martin Havlat have formed a pretty dynamic shut down/scoring line for the Sharks.
Hard to call the top two lines anything but a wash. The same goes for the aforementioned blue-lines.
Where this series will be won, is the battle between the bottom six forwards.
The third line of San Jose features Torres, Joe Pavelski and Tommy Wingels. Vancouver on the other hand rolls out Mason Raymond, Max Lappierre and Jannik Hansen.
Raymond and Hansen are more lethal wingers than Torres and Wingels but Lappierre can't hold a candle to Pavelski in the middle. Overall these two lines are also pretty close in comparison. However, I'll give a slim edge to the Sharks with the Torres factor. Wingles/Torres should wear down their Vancover opponents with their physical play.
A lot of people like to forget about fourth lines as if they are meaningless. Why this is, I don't know. You look at recent cup winners, and they all could roll four lines consistently. They aren't teams with a fourth line featuring Jody Shelley and his 4:45 in ice time.
When the rest of the rosters are so similar (almost forgot, goaltenders Cory Schneider/Roberto Luongo versus Antti Niemi, take your pick, coin toss there) a strong fourth line that can drive the play to the offensive zone consistently is a significant boost.
When Gomez centers that San Jose fourth line between Andrew Desjardins and Adam Burish, the Sharks fourth line has consistently been able to sustain offensive zone time.
Conversely, the Canucks will probably roll out a fourth line of Tom Sesito, Andrew Ebbett and Zack Kassian. Of the six fourth line players for both teams, Gomez is by far and away the most talented player of the group. You have to give the edge to San Jose even if you throw in the young Jordan Schroeder into the mix for Vancouver.
Even though the bottom six for both teams are close, yours truly subscribes to the theory of building down the middle and a team's center drives the lines. Therefore, I'll take Pavelski and Gomez driving play over Lappierre and Ebbett/Schroeder.
Therefore, taking everything into consideration from these two teams, I'm leaning towards the lower seeded Sharks. I think their bottom six forwards make the difference.
Given San Jose's home dominance this season (including two wins over Vancouver) I see them winning all three of their home games in this series in route to a 4 games to 2 series victory.

Albany- Heavy Rains put a damper on their egg hunt, but the children in West Albany found another way to have some fun.
"We didn't get to hunt Easter eggs because of the rain, but they got to play, it's fun for them," said Haley Gordon, Meadowlark resident.
Several blocks along Meadowlark were left underwater when a retention pond spilled over turning Meadowlark from a roadway into a river.
"When it rains really hard like this in the spring, we usually have this happen, so its not bad," said Dee Matthews, another Meadowlark homeowner.
The water was deep enough to force a SUV driver to think twice about trying his luck and for some to enjoy an afternoon canoe ride.
"We just thought we'd get a little stream action, I mean it's not often you get a creek, a river running through your front yard, so we through we'd investigate a little bit," said Bert Kilpatrick.
Some neighbors however, weren't as lucky. Along West Alberson, a car was turned into a submarine and waters covered the roadway and reached all the way to the corner of one house. Many cars were forced to turn around and find another way.
The flood waters were an unwelcome Easter site for residents along Brookhaven Court. Sheldon Horton came home from church to find his new home, unreachable. The watery find didn't dampen his spirits.
"I knew that it looked to be a problem when I was leaving but even during the time at church I was just praying for the best," said Horton.
The holding pond behind Horton's home overflowed turning the house and several neighbor's homes into small islands.
"I've only been here since the 24th, the 24th of March made a month," said Horton.
His neighbor had to pack a bag when she couldn't get her car out of the garage, and with flood waters dampening the welcome mat at the front door Horton said he would deal with the potential mess inside as best he could.
"I pray that there isn't much damage. My neighbor was out here when it was worse because he said it has gone down a little bit. He said that there were some trucks, some big vehicles coming through and pushing waves, I pray that it didn't go on the inside," said Horton.
Neighbors will have to wait for the waters to recede to see how badly their homes were damaged.

Tastes great!
I used to enjoy drinking Slim Fast shakes in the summertime, either to diet or for use as meal replacements. The trouble is, the flavor of Slim Fast has changed over the years and I found I did not enjoy it anymore. I bought this Strawberry shake mix, hoping I could use it in the same manner. Well, I mixed the Creamy Select mix with a cup of 1% milk and a cup of frozen strawberries and it made a wonderful breakfast shake. I didn't have to add additional sweeteners at all.
I will be ordering more cans of the strawberry flavor.

Amid Tighter Budgets, U.S. Army Rebalancing and Refocusing
With the deployment in Afghanistan winding down and facing significant budget cuts, the U.S. Army finds itself in a period of transition....
Speaker: Raymond Odierno, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army
Presider: James Sciutto, Chief National Security Correspondent, CNN
February 11, 2014
With the deployment in Afghanistan winding down and facing significant budget cuts, the U.S. Army finds itself in a period of transition. Army chief of staff Raymond Odierno joins CNN's James Sciutto to discuss the ongoing rebalancing of U.S. forces toward Asia and the challenges of maintaining military readiness in a post-sequestration environment.
Raymond Odierno on how Iraq's sectarian politics have contributed to the current resurgence in violence there:
"So what happened is, although they had the time and space to continue—because security was good—to build the economy, to increase oil flow—really, they were never able to reconcile between the different groups. And so what you saw is a continuing mistrust of the political entities within Iraq. And as that mistrust grew, you saw other factions begin over time—after about a two-year period—to start to take advantage of that governmental mistrust and exploit the situation, which then created more violence."
Raymond Odierno on the U.S. role in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of combat troops at the end of the year:
"Afghanistan has moved forward quite a bit, especially in the last two years. The Afghan security forces are in charge. They are providing security for the nation. So I think we're in a place now where they have the capability to defend themselves. What they are not yet ready to do is, their institutions are not yet mature enough to sustain this over the long time. So I think it's important that we stay to help them to establish their institutions."
Raymond Odierno on sequestration's effects on the capabilities and readiness of the Army:
"What I'm worried about is, as we get through this three- to four-year window, where we kind of get back in balance, I believe for the Army, the end strength is really too small in order for us to meet the requirements that we might have to conduct in the future, and that's my concern."

It's often not possible to pinpoint exactly when "true" labor begins because early labor contractions might start out feeling like the Braxton Hicks contractions you may have been noticing for weeks.
It's likely that labor is under way, however, when your contractions become increasingly longer, stronger, and closer together. They may be as far apart as every ten minutes or so in the beginning, but they won't stop or ease up no matter what you do. And in time, they'll become more painful and closer together.
In some cases, though, the onset of strong, regular contractions comes with little or no warning. It's different for every woman and with every pregnancy.
Toward the end of your pregnancy, your practitioner should give you a clear set of guidelines for when to let her know that you're having contractions and at what point she'll want you to go to the hospital or birth center.
These instructions will depend on your individual situation — whether you have pregnancy complications or are otherwise considered high-risk, whether this is your first baby, and practical matters like how far you live from the hospital or birth center — as well as on your caregiver's personal preference (some prefer an early heads-up).
If your pregnancy is uncomplicated, she'll probably have you wait to come in until you've been having contractions that last for about a minute each, coming every five minutes for about an hour. (Time the interval between contractions starting from the beginning of one and ending at the beginning of the next one.) As a rule, if you're high-risk, she'll want to hear from you earlier in labor.
Don't be afraid to call if the signs aren't clear but you think the time may have come. Doctors and midwives are used to getting calls from women who aren't sure whether they're in labor and need guidance. It's part of their job.
And the truth is, your caregiver can tell a lot by the sound of your voice, so verbal communication helps. She'll want to know how close together your contractions are, how long each one lasts, how strong they are (she'll note whether you can talk through a contraction), and any other symptoms you may have.
Finally, whether or not your pregnancy has been problem-free up to now, and whether or not you think you might be in labor, be sure to call your caregiver right away (and if you can't reach her, head for the hospital) in the following situations:
Some women assume that various symptoms are just part and parcel of being pregnant, while others worry that every new symptom spells trouble. Knowing which pregnancy symptoms you should never ignore can help you decide when to call your caregiver.
That said, every pregnancy is different and no list can cover all situations, so if you're not sure whether a symptom is serious, or if you just don't feel like yourself or are uneasy, trust your instincts and call your healthcare provider. If there's a problem, you'll get help. If nothing's wrong, you'll be reassured.

Ben Davies (20), Defender, Swansea (Wales)
Date of birth: 24 April 1993 (20)
Place of birth: Neath, Wales
Club: Swansea City
Nation: Wales
National level: Wales
Position: Full Back
Preferred Foot: left
Height / Weight: 170cm 5'7, 76kg (11st 14lbs)
Market Value: €1.5Mill
Wales might not be the first country you think of when scouting for new wonderkids and talents. But in the recent years there have been produced some amazing players from Wales. Most famous is Gareth Bale and Joe Allen, but now there are two young talents reaching for the stars in the Welsh national team, one of them is Ben Davies the other is Jonathan Williams (19).
Ben Davies have impressed both fans and Swansea Manager Michael Laudrup this campaign. While he missed the final cut for making into the list of PFA Young Player of the Year 2013, Ben Davies is definitely one to look out for in the coming years!
Benjamin Thomas Davies was born in the minor town Neath right outside Swansea. Ben Davies started his youth career in Danish Viborg FF, where he spend three vital years of development before heading home to Swansea. His final step into the professional football came in April 2012, when he lifted the FAW Welsh Youth Cup. He scored one of the goals in this final, making this one of his proudest moments in his youth career.
With hard work, dedication to progress, and a little bit of luck he was handed his first professional contract some weeks later, a two year deal with Swansea earning "only" £400 weekly wage! Before the 2012-13 season Ben Davies was part of the first team of Swansea. While it was only some minutes of playing time, Ben Davies made his professional debut against West Ham on 25 August 2012. Only a week later, Ben Davies became a regular first team starter following a long term injury to first choice left back Neil Taylor. Both the injury of Neil Taylor and the guidance of former football legend Michael Laudrup have been important for his rapid development. After 14 appearances for the first team, playing regularly in the English Premier League, at the age of only 18, he signed a new professional contract on 23. November 2012. He was now tied to the Swans for 3,5 years. While it might have been a proud moment to debut in the English Premier League, it must have been a personal triumph when he scored his first consecutive goal the 19th of January 2013, against Stoke City, a match Swansea won 3-1. In doing so he became the Swans youngest ever scorer in the Premier League. The last campaign have been successful for Ben Davies. Not only getting his debut, but winning the Capitol One Cup Final 24. February 2013, a match Swansea won 5-0 against Bradford. The convincing win is the biggest ever margin in the League Cup final. With the goals from Nathan Dyer (2), Spanish bargain Michu and Jonathan de Guzman (2) Swansea City won their first ever major trophy, which they marked it their centenary season. Ben Davies has recorded an overall record of 1 goal in 32 league appearances.
As soon as Ben Davies entered first team football at Swansea, he was promoted from the Wales Under-19 to the Wales national team. Chris Coleman called up to replace Neil Taylor. Ben Davies made his international debut in the 2-1 win against Scotland on 12 October 2012. He is one of the youngest players in the national team, together with nPower Championship talent, Jonathan Williams (19), who plays for Ipswich. Benjamin Thomas Davies has recorded 3 matches for Wales under-19, one match for the Wales Under-21 and 7 appearances for the national team of Wales.
Ben Davies is one of the most promising young talents from Wales these days. He can be compared to the former football legend Paolo Maldini. Their playing style is some kind similar, fast controlling full backs with great tackling and man marking styles. Ben Davies is not afraid to go forward if needed and is almost never caught out of position. He is a great defensively minded players in my view. If Davies keeps playing like he does now, he could become a world class full back. No matter what, he has a very bright future ahead of him as long as he keeps away of horse racing tips and football betting.
Ben Davies - Player Profile in Football Manager 2013
Ben Davies is regarded as a Football Manager 2013 wonderkid, so let's look at his player profile in FM13. Is he a player worth to buy?
Height: 171cm (5ft 7in)
Weight: 74kg 11st 9lbs
Personality: Resolute
Squad Personality: Ambitious
Main Strength: Speed
Main Weaknesses: Aerial Ability
Best player attributes: Crossing, Bravery, Composure
Worst player attributes: Jumping, Heading, Aggression
Preferred foot: Very strong left foot (Right foot weak)
Natural Player role: Full Back
Secondary Player role: Wing Back
Ben Davies is a very talented young full back in Football Manager 2013. He has potential to become a 4 star player in the latest FM13 update (13.3.0). The main things to notice about Ben Davies is his low wages €8.5K per week, which is very reasonable for a 19 year old regular Premier league starter. Despite his young age, he has pretty good stats. If matched regularly he could become a great full back for English Premier League, German Bundesliga or French Ligue 1. Ben Davies is valued at €3.7Mill and might be purchased for €10 to 17Mill at start of a new game. He would probably ask for wages between €15,000 to 20,000K per week.
Player Development and Training scheduling in FM13:
Player Attributes - strength
In Football Manager 2013 Ben Davies is regarded as a natural full back, mostly because of his great speed and crossing. While his main strength might be in his defensive skills, fairly good marking, tackling and concentration, he is also a player who gives everything for the team with excellent bravery and determination, good work rate, team work. Ben Davies could be described as a speedy full back who rarely prone under pressure.
Player Attributes - weaknesses
Ben Davies' main weaknesses is his aerial ability; heading and jumping. Ben Davies is not the most technically gifted player with average attributes in technique, flair, passing, first touch and dribbling. Despite his young age, he has some important preferred moves in regard to his player position; Gets forward whenever possible, Runs with ball down left and dives into tackles might show you some of his playing style. You can read more about the different preferred moves in this guide to individual training.
To improve Ben Davies as a full back you should focus to improve his positioning, decisions and off the ball even further. Later I would focus to improve his heading and jumping to make him even better at defensive parts of play, mostly because of his good marking and tackling. To become a counter attacking threat it might be favorable to improve his passing, anticipation and off the ball. Last but not least, to make him a world class player, you need to carefully develop him. There are still 3 years to improve him into the new Ashley Cole, David Alaba or Neil Taylor. With the help of excellent coaches in Football Manager 2013 and good tutors he can reach his potential.

A Swinging Good Time: An Indoor Bedroom Swing
One of things we always wanted growing up was a patio bench swing. Our neighbor and best friend had one installed in their tiny front courtyard and there was no simple pleasure quite as relaxing as gently swinging during warm summer evenings. But how about one installed indoors...
Given as a Valentine's gift, the bench was lovingly installed by Shauna's boyfriend Stephen, and further appointed with handmade pillows sewn together using his collection of tote bags. If that ain't sweet, we don't know what sweet is.
[Thanks to Somethings Hiding In Here for letting us share]

Hmmm...that's different than the swing in my bedroom.
I just keeeeding!
I love everything about that bedroom.
But...as much as I love porch swings, I'm not sure I'd have the balls to put one inside. Let alone the bedroom.
'small' is clearly entering its last day :-) but if i had a bedroom sized like that, it'd be cool.
How do you anchor it to the ceiling?
I love it! Totally jealous!
Man, this is so close to the indoor hammock I've always wanted.
I grew up with 2 swings inside the house. We brought the hardware back from India & had a handyman install it into our ceiling. Way fun at parties as a teenager. Great place to think and relax at the end of the day.
In Venezuela everyone has hammocks inside their homes, so this swing, to me, is the reinvention of a classic :)
I used to sit on the porch swinng forever when we used to visit the country (Alabama).
Not quite cool inside the home though.
Even worse is a bed suspended by chains which I saw on one of those they-should-arrested-and-stripped-of-their-design-credentials-if-they-have-any-at-all-for-doing-that-to-those-poor-people's-homes-and-should-be-cancelled shows on HGTV.
It would certainly make cleaning the floors easier.
swing...eh, hammock YES.
but the rest of this room is really catching my eye... the wallpaper behind the bed, the bed itself, the color of the dresser and end table... and... is that a... a deer collection?
Growing up my friend Windsong (yes, her parents were hippies) had one in her bedroom. They lived in a gorgeous Victorian that they were renovating and her Dad was able to anchor it in the big ceiling beams right in the middle of the room so we could really swing up high! I have such fond memories of my friend and her lovely home...I wish I hadn't lost touch with her.
I have always wanted to have a porch swing in my house just like that! I am so jealous.
porch swings are great. i once stayed at a friend's vacation home that had a futon porch swing. i slept on it every night that week. i haven't seen anything like it since.
Oh wow, I want. Seriously, how would you anchor it to the ceiling? Same way you'd do it outside, I guess, once you locate the beams. But I'd be a little intimidated. Has anyone done this? Tips?
I can barely traverse my bed & a couple of dogs, much less furniture that moves!
I can imagine crashing to the floor with a thunderous kaboom, then looking up to see the ceiling fall down on my head. No thanks, not good for my rowhouse's questionable rehabbed ceiling.
I could never be more jealous of anyone's loft, ever. LOVE.

"There are no facts, only interpretations." — Friedrich Nietzsche. (February economic notables)
"There are no facts, only interpretations." — Friedrich Nietzsche. (February economic notables)
Good evening,
Below is a concise 2-page report recapping economic data from the U.S., Europe, and Asia released in February. My next report will cover recent geopolitical events (Ukraine; droughts in South Asia, etc.)
Investors are interpreting worsening economic data in major economies as transitory and manageable. Upcoming months will be key in discerning the genuine trend.
Weekly Bull/Bear Recap: Feb. 18-22, 2013
This objective report concisely summarizes important macro events over the past week. It is not geared to push an agenda. Impartiality is necessary to avoid costly psychological traps, which all investors are prone to, such as confirmation, conservatism, and endowment biases.
+ The U.S. economy is set to continue its recovery. The Conference Board's leading indicator increased 0.2% in January. "The indicators point to an underlying economy that remains relatively sound but sluggish," said Ataman Ozyildririm, economist at The Conference Board. Meanwhile the ECRI's leading indicator growth-rate remains in solid positive territory at 7.6% for the week ending February 15th — Lakshman Achuthan has egg all over his face due to his premature recession call.
+ U.S. Manufacturing is undergoing the beginnings of another inventory build. The American Trucking Association reports that its tonnage indicator rose for the 3rd consecutive month in January, notching its highest ever reading. Meanwhile, Markit reports that its PMI registered further expansion for the sector. Chris Williamson, Chief Economist at Markit said: "U.S. manufacturers reported the largest monthly rise in production for almost two years in February, suggesting that the economy is set to rebound from the weak patch seen late last year and allying fears of a double-dip recession."
+ While the Conference Board has reported declining confidence from the U.S. consumer, on the whole, it has stabilized. Gallup reports that its measure of consumer confidence remains near a 5-year high. Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort Survey is carving out a bottom, as is the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment survey, which last week signaled a 3rd consecutive increase.
+ Home prices continue to increase (due to falling inventory levels) and will support consumer and investment psychology. Zillow reports that their pricing index's 15th consecutive increase was also at the largest annual rate since early 2006. Meanwhile "the number of American households behind on mortgage payments fell to the lowest level in four years at the end of 2012," according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. In the commercial real-estate sector, the AIA announces a strong surge in its Architecture Billings Index.
+ Global trade flows have bottomed and look to pick up throughout 2013. Japanese exports for January grew for the first time in 8 months, rising 6.4% on a year over year basis. Exports to China increased for the first time in 8 months, while exports to the U.S. jumped more than 10%. Meanwhile, Markit reports that increased demand from Asia is percolating to other major economies, such as Germany.
- Things are taking a turn for the worse in Europe. Markit reports a deepening downturn in February, tempering expectations for an end to the region's economic malaise any time soon. Moreover, Italian leading indicators point to further weakness ahead (elections are coming up this weekend!) and Euro-wide car sales slump to levels last seen in 1990. Unfortunately, bullish German business conditions (due to the country's reluctance to rebalance its economy, which is sorely needed for a long-lasting Eurozone solution) only serve to create complacency in the country. Perhaps such good economic conditions will make German citizens feel like their economy will not suffer if it left the Eurozone. A Taylor-Rule analysis of Germany vs. France clearly demonstrates why a one-size-fits-all monetary policy is tearing the region apart. Meanwhile, financial institutions in Europe remain very vulnerable and Friday's news that only half of the LTRO money will be repaid speaks volumes of the distrust still present in the banking system. Liquidity schemes such as the LTRO only mask the underlying fundamental problems plaguing the Eurozone. They do nothing to solve them.
- Market action this week accentuates the extent to which Fed officials have warped financial markets. After a surprising hawkish set of FOMC minutes, the S&P 500 tumbled over 2 percent. The weakest multi-year economic recovery on record has only occurred because of unprecedented monetary stimulus. Any hint of ceasing, or even reducing the dosage of Bernanke's monetary drug will induce sharp sell offs in risk markets. The foundations of the global economy remain unhinged and pose grave long-term risks to the investment outlook. Indeed many are becoming worried with the degree to which the Fed has likely affected long-term economic growth.
- Quietly, gas prices have increased for 32 consecutive days and endanger PE-multiple expansion. Along with the expiration of the payroll tax cut and the significant possibility of sequestration, investors will be surprised by deteriorating consumer trends.
- China's Shanghai Composite falls roughly 5% as officials signal more tightening measures for the property market. Despite a rallying U.S. equity market, China's equity measures remain mired in a long-term downward trend, which is a red flag. Want another red flag? Copper plunges more than 5% for the week. A look at the 3-yr price chart shows us that a bearish solution to a symmetric triangle is looking increasingly probable.
- An awkward moment for U.S./Chinese relations occurs with Mandiant announcing that the Chinese military accounts for a large number of cyber-attacks on America, an accusation immediately disputed by Chinese officials who point out that the U.S. also accounts for a large number of cyber-attacks on their country as well.
Weekly Bull/Bear Recap: Jan. 28-Feb. 1, 2013
U.S. Economic Activity is beginning to reaccelerate:
- Manufacturing reports this week show an improving picture. The ISM Index increases from 50.7 to 53.1 in January. New Orders and Employment subindicies are in solid positive territory. Meanwhile Markit's PMI Index rises from 54 to 55.8. Both notch their best readings in 9 months. Regionally, the Chicago and Dallas Feds report that activity is picking up steam. Furthermore, Durable Goods Orders are pointing to a stabilization in demand with business investment increasing for the third consecutive month. Manufacturers are becoming more confident in future demand.
- Upward revisions in November, from 161K to 247K, and December, from 155K to 196K, together totaling +127K, accompany a positive BLS jobs report for January (+157K). Meanwhile ADP reports that companies hired at the fastest pace in almost a year. Challenger, Gray, & Christmas announces that job cuts for January are the third lowest since 1993. Firms do not see deteriorating conditions in the months ahead and are maintaining their headcount. The job market continues to heal.
- Light Motor Vehicle Sales start off strong in 2013. Consumption growth continues and will support the economy.
- Overall, Consumer confidence is stabilizing. While we've seen some indicators point to souring prospects, other surveys, such as Gallup's Poll of Consumer Confidence and University of Michigan's Survey of Consumer Sentiment point to reduced concern over upcoming negotiations in Congress.
- Rising home prices remain a positive for consumer psychology. Prices are set to climb throughout 2013, partly counterbalancing worries over higher taxes. Meanwhile Detroit is seeing a revival —(told you so!).
+ The global economy is set to reaccelerate in the coming months according to JP Morgan's Global Manufacturing PMI, led by a reacceleration in China (due to domestic demand) and firming U.S. activity. Improvement in these countries is spilling over into Europe…
+ …Germany's Markit Manufacturing PMI is now just a smidgen below 50, which delineates between contraction and expansion, at 49.8 (an 11-month high). Furthermore, Consumer climate, reported by the Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (Gfk) group, reveals an improving state of confidence. Perhaps this is due to a recovering job market. Meanwhile, while still contracting, the majority of country-specific PMIs (Spain, Italy, Hungary, and Czech Republic) indicate the worse is over of the region's recession. The improvement in the global economy can also be seen in Brazil, where the unemployment rate has fallen to a record low.

- Investors have piled into bullish bets (but earnings have flatlined since Q2 2011), economists all agree that the economy is poised to expand, the VIX is at 2007 levels before the crisis struck, and the bears are capitulating. All are signs of extreme complacency in the face of festering bearish macro trends……
(Weekly Readings —— Solid Line = 32-week average)
- …..and why are investors giddy? Because stocks keep on rising. But smart investors know to use REAL, not Nominal gains to correctly value wealth. "Zimbabwe's stock market was the best performer this decade — but your entire portfolio now buys you 3 eggs." — Kyle Bass
- The U.S. Economy is extremely vulnerable and is on the cusp of recession:
- Bull are doused with a bucket of cold water as 4th quarter U.S. GDP prints negative for the first time since Q2 2009. The negative print is a crystal clear indication of how weak and vulnerable this recovery is. Curtailing government expenditures, higher taxes, and rising gas prices as the summer approaches will be too much for the economy to bear.
- U.S. Consumer confidence, as per the Conference Board Consumer Confidence survey, plunges again in January, erasing all of 2012's gains. Furthermore, the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index falls for the fourth straight week. Weekly sales metrics, such as Goldman ICSC and Redbook, reveal weakening consumption trends. This ongoing trend casts a cloud over the direction of consumer spending as worries over reduced incomes due to the expiring 2-yr payroll tax holiday ferment.
- The Household Survey, embedded beneath the widely touted headline jobs number this morning, has not confirmed the improving job market for the third successive month.
- The FOMC meeting reveals that Fed officials are worried about a stalling economy (confirmed by Q4 numbers) as well as creeping disinflation. Monetary policy is powerless to arrest continued sluggish in the economy; worse, as investors appreciate the negative impact of reduced consumer incomes, there will be a crisis of confidence. "Don't Fight the Fed" will be a maxim of the past.
- Europe's troubles lurk in the background, receiving very little press. The budget scandal in Spain is quietly picking steam and Retail Sales in the country fell for the 30th consecutive month in December. Spanish 10-yr borrowing costs advance roughly 5% this week. Looking at a 3-month view, we now see a higher high. Meanwhile, car sales throughout the periphery remain in a distinguishable downtrend and retail sales throughout the region signal consumer retrenchment. Moreover, Italian Consumer Confidence slumps to a 17-yr low and Business Confidence unexpectedly falls.
- If China has really bottomed and is on the brink of a sustainable recovery, try telling that to the Australians. Straya's mining-based economy is signaling a red flag for global recovery enthusiasts.

RPT-Plunge in new orders hits July euro zone business-PMI | Reuters
Old news here, just catching up:
Order books shrivelled at the fastest rate since June 2009 - a much worse situation than portrayed in the flash reading two weeks ago, and one that augurs badly for business activity in August.
While companies in Italy and Spain performed particularly poorly in July, the PMI showed the euro zone's biggest and most resilient economy is now floundering too.
"The big worry is that the downturn in Germany may be becoming more entrenched, suggesting that the largest euro economies are seeing convergence in collective and mutually-reinforcing decline," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at survey compiler Markit. — Markit
Euro-Area Crisis Has 'No Obvious End in Sight,' BOE's King Says - Bloomberg
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King said the U.K. must press on with reforms to the banking industry and repeated his gloomy outlook for the euro-area debt crisis, which is impeding Britain's economy.
"If the rest of the world were growing normally, the rebalancing and recovery of our economy would be much easier," King wrote in an article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper, published today. "But it isn't. Even the rapidly expanding emerging-market economies are slowing, and the problems of the euro area continue with no obvious end in sight." — Bloomberg
NFIB small-business index at post-recession high - MarketWatch
Couple this news with yesterday's Employment Trends Index (another post-recession high), stabilizing home prices and consumer confidence and the case for a continued U.S. economic recovery remains viable.
However, with Europe taking a drastic turn for the worse in recent days and Germany now finding itself ostracized, it feels like the union is facing its fiercest test yet. Germany must relent to Eurobonds so that trade and budget deficits in peripheral countries are recycled by German surpluses.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Germany is pursuing a "balance-of-payments (BOP) recalibration" by forcing these nations to become surplus countries. This involves increasing competitiveness via internal wage deflation (i.e. cutting costs), in an effort to drastically reduce or eliminate their trade deficits. It also requires that governments eliminate their budget deficits by raising taxes and undergoing austerity. As long as German-mandated austerity persists, the probability of a Eurozone split up will increase. These policies are resulting in deep recessions and are tearing apart the social fabric of Europe. Resentment towards Germany and the financial elite is becoming engrained in the psyche of regular citizens in the periphery. Remonstrations are progressively intense. Like trends in financial markets, psychological trends aren't linear. We are currently in a lull and protests are likely to pick up in the coming months, as the effects of austerity harshly bite Main Streets of periphery countries. Unfortunately, these countries are only in the middle innings of this BOP recalibration, at best; more pain lies ahead. Political risk remains extremely elevated. Furthermore, existing government and private debt is so large that debt traps are becoming evident in Greece, Portugal, and Spain. They in turn will lead to further austerity and worsening political and social trends, a nefarious feedback loop."

German Factory Orders Rose More Than Forecast in March - Bloomberg
Bulk of the strength came from overseas orders. Looking at the big picture, Germany's economy remains resilient. Factory Orders have improved from their downward trend over 2011.

FedEx Lowers Outlook Due to Tepid Economic Growth -- Mish Economic Analysis
The global economy is clearly slowing. Will the U.S. decouple? Me thinks we won't (see my macro outlooks), but I'm keeping an open mind.
I'd keep an eye on New Orders from the Manufacturing and Service PMIs here in the U.S. We're already seeing some warnings from consistently "burdensome" backlogs for both surveys.
Keep an eye also on the Service PMI Employment sub-index for signs of continued healing in the job market.

Chinese Economy Already in 'Hard Landing,' JPMorgan's Mowat Says - Bloomberg
Investors are very complacent coming into what I believe will be a very turbulent period in the coming months.
Couple the above possible, but becoming more likely event, with continued austerity in Europe.
Copper is not confirming new bull market highs and this is a big red flag in the latest rally. I remain cautious and slightly net short with hedges to cushion what has been a torrid non-stop rally.
