33rd SU Philosophy Symposium Explores Happiness Saturday, April 27
SALISBURY, MD---Charles Schulz said Happiness Is a Warm Puppy. According to The Beatles, "Happiness Is a Warm Gun." But what is happiness … really?
Drs. Mitzi Lee and Chris Heathwood of the University of Colorado at Boulder join Salisbury University Philosophy Department faculty in an attempt to answer that question during the 33rd annual SU Philosophy Symposium 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, April 27. The event is held in Teacher Education and Technology Center Room 153.
The symposium begins with a continental breakfast. During the morning session, Lee and Heathwood discuss some of the standard—and not so standard—approaches to happiness, analyzing the relationship between happiness, pleasure and the satisfaction of desires. Following a break for lunch, faculty and other local panelists add their insights. The audience is invited to join in the discussion throughout the day.
Heathwood is currently the Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellow at Princeton University's Center for Human Values. His has presented extensively at conferences throughout the United States, including Princeton, and internationally at the University of Oxford. His articles have appeared in the Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy, Oxford Studies in Metaethics and the Australasian Journal of Philosophy, among others. He is currently writing a manuscript on the philosophy of welfare, Getting What We Want.
Sponsored by the SU Philosophy Department, admission to the symposium is free and the public is invited. For more information call 410-677-5070 or visit the SU Web site at www.salisbury.edu.

There might be a Giant fan or two in the wilderness who really believe that Barry Zito will "find it" this year and contribute. Then there are the masses, who will get a glimpse of Zito's line in a 5-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox and fear every game in which he takes the ball.
Nine of the 18 hitters he faced in 2 1/3 innings hit safely. That includes A.J. Pierzynski and Alex Rios, who hit back-to-back homers in the third inning. Zito walked two and struck out three. After manager Bruce Bochy yanked him, Zito went to the bullpen to toss another 25 pitches so he could raise his pitch count to the mid-80s.
Bochy was just asked what he really wants out of Zito this year.
"Just give us a chance to win," the skipper said. "He got knocked out today, which is what you want to avoid. He never got settled in. He just couldn't find it."
Zito has little time left to find it. He has one more start in Arizona, Friday night against San Diego. It wouldn't surprise me if they sent him down to the minor-league camp to work on his stuff out of the stadium limelight. Zito then would face the A's in the final exhibition on April 4, five days before he takes the ball in Denver on April 9 for his first regular-season start.
Zito failed today to accomplish what he had worked on all winter with Tom House at USC and this spring, to not rush his delivery, keep the ball down and throw all of his pitches out of the same arm slot. He's having the same problem all of us duffers have on the golf course. We know what we need to do when we swing. We can even sense when we're screwing up in the middle of our swing, but we can't fix it.
"Ideally you'd like to make the adjustment on the next pitch," he said. "When you're locked in, you feel it and go. Today I was laboring to make the adjustments. It took three pitches instead of one."
I've said it before. The expectations and demands on Zito this season are not high. As the Giants' fifth-best starter, they just need him to go five or six innings and allow two or three runs. Keeping the Giants in the game, as Bochy put it. You wonder how much rope Bochy and general manager will give him, especially with the way Eric Surkamp has pitched this spring.
Zito has had some better outings down here, but you can't like the progression. He's getting worse by the start, not better, and time is running out.
"You're right," Bochy said. "You're at the point now where you're hoping to get locked in, and that wasn't the case today."
Giants played a very lackluster game at Camelback Ranch. Bochy kept most of his regulars in Scottsdale and gave them most of the day off so they can get "refreshed" for the final week of the Cactus League. He also has some guys dinged up. Brandon Belt aggravated a hip bruise while sliding Saturday. Emmanuel Burriss still has a sore hammy. Same goes for Ryan Theriot's ankle.
Bochy also said he plans to scale back Pablo Sandoval's extra conditioning this week to lessen his fatigue for the final 10 exhibitions. Sandoval is hitting .200 and Bochy wants him to focus on his stroke now, not his stomach. The Giants did not like the Panda's weight this offseason and set a goal for Opening Day. What that number is I don't know, but Bochy said Sandoval is "real close."
In other notes:
- You can tell the Giants are serious about catcher Hector Sanchez as a possible bench candidate. In the ninth inning Bochy had Sanchez pinch-hit with two on and one out against a hard-throwing lefty named Hector Santiago just to see how Sanchez would look coming off the bench and batting right-handed, which is a definite need. The showcase did not go his way. He was woefully late on Santaigo's fastball and grounded into a double play that ended Hector-vs.-Hector matchup and the game.
- Tomorrow Ryan Vogelsong makes his Cactus League debut with a 40-pitch start against Kansas City at Scottsdale Stadium. Brian Wilson, who has not thrown in an exhibition since March 17 after experiencing general arm fatigue, is expected to pitch an inning as well after throwing in a couple of minor-league games.
- Reliever Scott Munter's comeback took a painful detour today. He relieved Zito in the third inning and hurt his right calf hopping off the mound to cover first base after his only hitter, Eduardo Escobar, hit a grounder to first.
- Two pitchers destined for Fresno and have thrown well down here had good outings again. Ramon Ortiz and Matt Yourkin each threw shutout baseball, Ortiz for 2 2/3 innings and Yourkin for two. It's always nice to have Triple-A depth.
- Bochy said Heath Hembree will start the year as Fresno's closer. That should be one tough go for Pacific Coast League hitters in the later innings, because Dan Otero also will start there. Otero, another right-hander, has a 1.50 ERA in six Cactus League outings, three of which he has saved.
- A request to people who still insist on proposing to their significant others at ballparks: Stop it. Just stop it.

Whether warranted or not, deep down, people who love animals instinctively believe they can trust a fellow animal lover.
Taking that premise a little further, both women and men have lots of preconceived notions about what their favorite breed of dog says about them to the opposite sex.
Would you use your Dalmatian to get a date with a like-minded person? Do people use their dogs as date bait?

Are you intrigued by The Exiled season 3? Did you enjoy your seven-day free trial at the launch of the game's Steam Early Access? Well the devs of the sandbox MMO have some good news for you, as the game will now be free-to-play for the duration of the season.
Season 3 will bring an expected variety of changes to The Exiled, though nothing particularly ground-shaking; Clans can now set themselves as either Accepting Applications, Not Recruiting, or Open, and there are several tweaks to gameplay and squished bugs.
As for the free-to-play Season, it has already started as of today and will run for the length of Season 3, which will end on Wednesday, May 17th. To participate, all players need to do is simply fire up the game.
The complete patch notes for Season 3 can be found on the game's Steam page.
Our Thoughts
It would seem that the seven-day free trial period was a rousing success! Seeing the free play period stretch out for several weeks is heartening indeed, especially since a sandbox MMO is only as vibrant as the number of players populating it. We're definitely looking forward to a vibrant season in The Exiled.

|Counseling Parents and Teens About Marijuana Use in the Era of Legalization of Marijuana
|talking points, pediatricians, parents, Side-Effects
Pediatricians are in a unique position to provide parents and teenagers with accurate information and counseling regarding the consequences of marijuana or cannabis use by children, teenagers, and adults. A number of strategies can be used to counsel families about preventing use and to intervene if marijuana is being used either recreationally or medically by the families for whom they provide medical care.

|CDC, Teens, parents, 2017 Legislation
|Being Blunt About Marijuana: Parent Communication About Marijuana with Their Emerging Adult Children.
|parents, college
Risk communication was the most common form of communication. In multivariate models, risk communication was associated with increased odds of a student remaining abstinent but not with frequency of marijuana use or negative consequences. Greater permissive communication was associated with more approving student attitudes, greater odds of non-abstinence, more frequent use in the past year, and more negative consequences. These findings highlight the need to consider the different types of messages parents deliver when designing interventions aimed at engaging parents in marijuana prevention efforts.

Common symptoms of bad kidneys are little or no urine flow, swelling in the legs and feet, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, states WebMD. Kidney failure or injury can also cause back pain.Continue Reading
Kidney failure and injury occur when the kidneys stop functioning and fail to filter waste products out of the blood, explains MedicineNet. A person with kidney problems commonly experience confusion, weakness, shortness of breath and abnormal heart beat. In some cases, it can even cause death.
The kidneys fail due to a variety of reasons, some of which can be treated, says MedicineNet. For instance, low blood volume, dehydration, rapid water loss and a renal obstruction can cause the kidneys to fail. These situations can be remedied with proper hydration or a removal of the blockage. Some diseases overwhelm the immune system, causing the kidneys to shut down. There are medications such as antibiotics, iodine medications and anti-inflammatory drugs that, if taken incorrectly, can harm the kidneys. If both kidneys fail entirely, a person can live on dialysis until they can get a kidney transplant.
Diabetics can suffer from kidney failure because high blood sugar is toxic to the kidneys, according to MedicineNet. The best way to prevent this is for diabetics to manage their blood sugar levels diligently.Learn more about Tattoos

Defoe, a £7.5 million arrival from Tottenham on Thursday, struck from fellow new-boy Milan Baros´ nod-on to grab a 64th minute equaliser after Nicolas Anelka had elegantly slotted Chelsea ahead in a lightning breakaway nine minutes earlier. And Defoe was agonisingly just off target with three more chances to win it before the end.
Chelsea, though, battled hard and David James made fine saves from Juliano Belletti and Alex while Niko Kranjcar cleared off the line from Michael Ballack.

How much do the Calories in Liquor affect your Weight Loss Diet?
on Tuesday, August 11, 2009in Other
Most of us enjoy savoring a nice glass of wine or an ice cold beer every once, maybe twice or thrice in awhile but if you are trying to follow a weight loss diet, the empty calories in alcohol can really derail your goals. The calories our bodies absorb through liquor or other alcoholic beverages are considered empty, as they provide no nutritional benefit whatsoever, yet require additional effort in order to burn off.
A gram of alcohol contains seven calories, which is nearly twice that as a gram of carbohydrate or protein, both of which are four calories per gram. As you can imagine, the extra calories in alcohol add up quite quickly. On top of that is the theory that the body uses alcohol as an energy source before macronutrients like carbs, protein or fats, meaning you'll be running on booze before your body taps in to any actual food. Not exactly an ideal situation when you're trying to shed the beer belly.
So while it's quite unrealistic to expect yourself to entirely abstain from the occasional cocktail or two, there are some choices that may be better than others.
The juices, sodas and syrups that are added to cocktails and highballs can double or even quadruple the caloric value with only an ounce or two. If you feel you'd like to indulge in a beverage or two (and I'm not recommending you do) choose a hard liquor like gin, vodka, rye, tequila or scotch and either drink it straight (yeowch!) or mix with water, diet soda or pellegrino. Stay away from fruity, tropical drinks like pina coladas and daiquiris which will easily add two to five times the calories. Opt for dry wine over sweet dessert wines to save yourself half the calories and obviously you should order the light beer as opposed to the regular beer.
Remember, it should always go without saying that alcohol should be used responsibly and with moderation, not just to keep the pounds from piling on, but more importantly to stay safe and healthy! Always drink responsibly. That's my public service announcement for the day!Found this post useful and want more? Subscribe to our Blog feed

Tiny Red Penguins :: Main
After a long break I'm blogging again. I don't know if anyone is actually reading this but I consider this blog a kind of "reminder" for myself - where I can look up what happened in February 2005 several years later; hopefully my blog will still exist at this time. :-)
These days I've been sick and thus had time to update my website: Tiny Red Penguins
I will try migrating my old website (purely written in HTML 4.0) to a new system (XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.0) and want to maintain a Forum together with my girlfriend, Gerti. She lives in Klagenfurt, the capital of Carinthia, and is currently attending a C++ programming lecture. Her lessons are blogged on my site, so that I can learn with her.
Appart from that I've done some research: 1. on the situation of asylum seekers and immigrants in Austria for an article for the next issue of Vorwaerts (paper of the SLP) and 2. on Free Software solutions for media streaming through the internet, and put it on my wiki.
Next tuesday is the Linuxday 2005 in Klagenfurt, which I wanted to attend. Although I would like to visit Gerti every weekend, it's too expensive, so I don't know if I will go. There is a workshop on grml, a bootable GNU/Linux Live-CD for geeks, which I have been testing.
I have decided to read more blogs and feeds, although I had to realize that this costs a lot of time - but it enables me to directly get interesting information for which I otherwise had to search a lot. Right now for example I got news from Creative Commons that Microsoft is running a site licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which only requires that "you must give the original author credit". Read the full article here: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/5290
Because of problems with my cable provider chello.at and their new cable modems I did not have internet for a while. Unfortunatly, I therefore couldn't read my mails. Amongst other "victims" of this "technical failure" there is my sister who is in Cali, Colombia at the moment and whose emails I could not reply. She now has a boyfriend and just started studying at the "Universidad del Valle" last week. I hope she is doing fine.
Finally, I have been reading a lot on the history of the Committe for a Workers' International and it's British section in the last days. I will post some links tomorow, as it's quite late now and I should get some sleep. I will also be working on my home-network and hopefully wipe-out some old PCs... ;-)

I just visited your blog. It is interesting. I also agree that "blogging" helps a person keep track of his "life". I think that many people might pass across your blog, few might consider leaving comments.
I am also a believer in GNU, however, I am forced to use M$ products. Hopefully, I will be able to find a way out... :)

hi ahmad!
cool, you're the first person who used this function. *smile* my friends prefer to talk with me in person or chat with me on the IRC or instant messenger and the others probably are too shy... :-)
i'm glad that you visited my blog and hope you enjoyed reading it and did add it to you feed reader. :-D
everybody else out there reading my blog: don't hesitate to write me!!! ;-)

By spending a little time in the workshop, you can beautify your yard, provide yourself with a wonderful source of entertainment for years to come, and cut down on the number of garden (and people) attacking pests that'll be around your place this spring and summer! All you have to do is whip up a homegrown bird bath and feeder.
To build the little eatery, just locate a dried gourd (if you don't have any left over from your own harvest, check with your neighbors or gardening friends). Then use a fine-toothed saw to cut a "bird-sized" opening, remove the seeds, and drill two holes on opposite sides of the top to accommodate the hooked ends of a V-shaped piece of coat hanger.
The bird bath (which you probably won't put out till warmer weather . . . as a late freeze could turn it into a miniature skating rink) is made from a circular gourd. Simply cut across the vegetable to form a dish, drill four holes at equidistant points around the upper edge, and make two coat hanger "V"s — each of which will be hooked into one pair of holes — to use when suspending the bath from a handy tree limb.
One caution, though: It's been speculated that — especially during the winter, when food is hard to come by — feeder-fed birds might well starve if their supply happened to be cut off during inclement weather. If you start hosting your backyard feathered friends now, be sure to keep the bird feeder stocked. After all, a little regular attention is a small price to pay for the help and pleasure that the colorful bathers and diners will give to you in return!

UNLV 9 on cloud nine
Also: Championship powerhouses and tournament firsts
The Runnin' Rebels are off and running.
The UNLV baseball team stretched its winning streak to nine games by sweeping No. 9 Stanford in a three-game series this past weekend at Sunken Diamond. It is the first time since 2011 that Stanford has lost a home series, when the Cardinal were swept by Oregon State.
"We have been looking forward to this series all season and we were really excited to go out and play on Friday against a really good pitcher," UNLV senior outfielder/RHP Mark Shannon said. "On Saturday we just looked to win the series and on Sunday we had a lot of momentum and were able to sweep them."
The Rebels' pitching staff was solid in all three games. On Friday, despite a career-high 15 strikeouts from Stanford All-American Mark Appel, UNLV hung on to claim a 3-2 victory with the help of reliever Brady Zuniga. Zuniga earned his second save of the season after surrendering one hit and striking out four batters in three scoreless innings pitched.
Junior right-hander Buddy Borden went 6.1 innings on Saturday, holding the Cardinal to two runs on seven hits with six strikeouts as the Rebels' offense exploded in a 12-2 victory. Again, the bullpen was excellent as freshman Kenny Oakley struck out five batters in 2.2 innings of scoreless relief.
UNLV sophomore John Richy closed out the series with a brilliant performance, tossing a complete-game two-hitter en route to a 5-1 victory. Richy kept the game close as it was tied 1-1 in the seventh before the Rebels put up four runs for the eventual victory.
"We feel like every day we have a chance to be in every ball game," UNLV head coach Tim Chambers said. "We feel our pitching staff is going to be there and give us a chance. We pitched extremely well this weekend as all of our pitchers went into the seventh."
The Rebels have posted a 2.48 ERA through 16 games this season -- a marked improvement from last year's staff that compiled a 5.06 ERA as UNLV went 26-31.
"Stanford is a good team and a good program and we could have easily been 1-2 but we were able to hold them and get all three," Chambers said.
UNLV will ride its longest winning streak since 2000 into a Tuesday tilt at Cal State Bakersfield before returning home to play host to New Mexico to open Mountain West Conference play on Friday.
"Everyone is living on cloud nine right now, but we know that this is a long season and we have a lot of work left to do," Shannon said.
• It came down to the last race of the meet, but the Oregon women's track and field team rallied to capture its fourth consecutive NCAA indoor national title Saturday at the Randal Tyson Center. The Ducks secured the victory by winning their only event of the championships, clocking a school-record 3 minutes, 30.22 seconds in the 4x400-meter relay behind a stellar performance from the team of English Gardner, Chizoba Okodogbe, Laura Roesler and Phyllis Francis. Oregon is only the second team in NCAA history to win four consecutive indoor titles. LSU also accomplished the feat between 1993-97.
• The Colorado ski team clawed its way back from a 54-point deficit Saturday in Middlebury, Vt., as the Buffaloes claimed their 19th national championship in skiing, including their seventh coed title. Senior Joanne Reid sparked the Buffs in the comeback, winning the women's 15-kilometer race with a time of 38:17.8. It was Reid's final collegiate race, and a fitting conclusion. Reid's mother, Olympic speed-skating gold-medalist Beth Heiden, won the cross-country skiing title for Vermont in 1983, which was the first year the NCAA sponsored women's skiing.

"It feels amazing," Reid said. "My mom's got connections here, she can do what she wants, so I saw her at the finish line and it was great. It's cool that we have both now won NCAA individual titles. Especially because every time I go skiing with here, they just list all her awards so now I have one that she has. I just need a few more world championships in other sports now to catch up."
• The No. 5 Cal Poly Pomona men's basketball team claimed its first California Collegiate Athletic Association tournament title after defeating Chico State 78-64 on Saturday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif. Senior guard Michel Anderson notched his 12th double-double of the season, scoring 15 points with 12 rebounds as the Broncos became the first CCAA team to win the regular-season title outright and the conference tournament in the same year since UC Riverside in 1994. CPP improved to 27-2, just one victory shy of matching the school record for most victories in a season.
• Arizona junior distance-runner Lawi Lalang had a busy day Saturday, winning both the Division I indoor track and field titles in the mile and the 3,000 meters in the span of less than two hours. Lalang first ran an NCAA-meet record and personal-best 3:55.33 to claim the mile, and in just an hour and 45 minutes later, he returned to the track to defend his title in the 3,000 meters. He again set a meet record, winning the race with a time of 7:45.94. He is the first athlete to pull off the dual victory since Washington State's Bernard Lagat in 1999.
• Stony Brook junior right-hander Frankie Vanderka tossed his second career no-hitter, shutting out Fordham 2-0 in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday. A native of Levittown, N.Y., Vanderka fanned six batters and walked three in nine innings in a game that was scheduled for seven innings. Vanderka, who helped the Seawolves make an unprecedented run to the College World Series last season, also threw a no-hitter at NJIT in 2011.
• Wisconsin-Eau Claire knocked off No. 1 St. Norbert in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III men's hockey championship, as the No. 4 Blugolds advanced to the national semifinals for the first time in school history with a 3-1 victory Saturday. It was the fifth meeting between the two teams this season, and the third victory for the Blugolds. It will be the first time since 2009 the two-time defending NCAA champion Green Knights will not compete in the NCAA semifinals.
• The Williams College women's basketball team downed Whitman College 63-53 in the NCAA Division III quarterfinals Saturday to advance to the national semifinals for the first time in program history. Danny Rainer netted a career-high 22 points as she and the Ephs improved to 26-2 on the season, setting a program record for victories. Williams will join fellow New England Small College Athletic Conference member Amherst in the national semifinals. Amherst is making its fifth consecutive appearance after defeating Widener 59-45 on Saturday. Williams is the only team this season to have beaten Amherst (30-1). The conference foes are not matched up in the semifinals. Amherst will take on Wisconsin-Whitewater, and Williams will face undefeated DePauw on Friday in Holland, Mich.
• While Nebraska-Kearney won its second consecutive team title at the Division II wrestling championships this past weekend, Notre Dame (Ohio) made quite a showing in its first appearance as a DII program. The Falcons placed third in the team competition behind individual titles from 174-pounder Eric Burgey and 165-pounder Joey Davis. Davis, the top-ranked freshman from Compton, Calif., capped off a 30-0 campaign by downing Nebraska-Kearney's Chase Nelson 7-5. Nelson, a senior, was ranked No. 2 in the nation.
|The Liberty University men's basketball team may have 20 losses on the season, but those are all in the past. The Flames (15-20) are currently on fire, winning five consecutive games, including four Big South Conference tournament contests, en route to snagging the league trophy and an NCAA tournament automatic bid. The Flames' .429 winning percentage is the lowest for an NCAA tournament team since Oakland (Mich.) entered the postseason with a 12-18 (.400) mark in 2005.
|The Saint Augustine's men's track and field team won the program's 12th NCAA indoor crown -- all under head coach George Williams' tutelage -- on the strength of the Falcons' sprinting prowess. The Falcons were led by three individual champions: Moussa Dembele in the 60-meter hurdles, Dane Hyatt in the 400 meters and Jermaine Jones in the 200 meters.
|Minnesota senior goaltender Noora Räty notched a 2-0 shutout against North Dakota in the finals of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association championship, garnering tournament MVP honors and collecting her 17th shutout of the season. Räty, who has shutout opponents in her past five games, already owns the NCAA record for career shutouts (43) and single-season shutouts (17).
|The Arkansas men's track and field team claimed its NCAA-record 20th indoor title, knocking off three-time defending champion Florida, who finished in second place. The Razorbacks' 74 points were the most scored by an NCAA indoor champion since 1994.
|Oklahoma redshirt senior Tia Brooks concluded the NCAA indoor track and field season by throwing a women's collegiate and NCAA championship-record mark of 63-0.75/19.22 meters to win the shot put Saturday. She is the first woman in NCAA history to surpass the 63-foot barrier. Brooks defended her title in the event, and claimed her third consecutive NCAA crown in the shot put after she won the competition at both the indoor and outdoor championship meets in 2012.
|Coastal Carolina head baseball coach Gary Gilmore won his 700th game at the helm of the Chanticleers' program with a 3-1 defeat of Ohio State on Sunday. He is the 23rd active coach in Division I to win 700 games at one school, and boasts a 700-350 record in his 18th season at his alma mater.
• The No. 4 Boston University women's hockey team topped Northeastern 4-2, on Sunday to win the program's second consecutive Hockey East title, and third in the past four years. The Terriers also claimed an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. With the bid, BU's senior class became the first in program history to advance to the NCAA tournament all four years.
• The No. 15 Hofstra men's lacrosse team handed No. 2 Notre Dame its first loss of the season, edging the Irish 8-7 on Saturday in South Bend, Ind. The Irish were the highest-ranked opponent the Pride has beaten since topping No. 1 Johns Hopkins in 2008.
• The No. 8 Tennessee women's softball team posted back-to-back victories against No. 1 Alabama on Friday and Saturday, marking the first time since 2007 the Lady Vols have upended a No. 1 team in consecutive games and earning a series win to open Southeastern Conference play. The Crimson Tide avoided the sweep with a 7-1 victory Sunday.
• The Florida Gulf Coast men's basketball team clinched its first NCAA Division I tournament berth in school history in the Eagles' second year of postseason eligibility by knocking off Atlantic Sun regular-season champion Mercer 88-75 in the league championship game Saturday.

• In its first opportunity to compete in the NCAA Division II postseason, the Academy of Art women's track and field team went for the gold and got it, winning the national championship at the Winter Festival in Birmingham, Ala. Senior Vashti Thomas won the long jump on Friday and claimed the 200 meters with a school-record 23.43 to lead the Urban Knights to the title.
• The Morrisville State men's basketball team earned its second upset victory in the NCAA Division III tournament, upending No. 13 Rhode Island College 66-61 in overtime Saturday to advance to the round of 16.

(CBS NEWS) This is it. The red-circled days on the calendars of "The Hunger Games" and "Mad Men" fans have finally arrived.
Readers of Suzanne Collins' popular trilogy, set in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, will be able to see their fictional friends - and enemies - come to life when Gary Ross' movie adaptation opens Friday.
Pictures: "The Hunger Games" premieres in L.A.
The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland, among others.
One indication of how eagerly the movie is awaited was the line of fans that formed outside the Los Angeles theater days before last week's premiere. This may just surpass the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" frenzies of recent years.
On the small screen, the Emmy-winning drama "Mad Men" returns to AMC Sunday after an 18-month gap. Now in its fifth season, the show follows 1960s ad exec Don Draper and his colleagues at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce in New York.
Viewing parties are being planned across the country to give fans a chance to dress in period costumes and sip some "Mad Man"-type cocktails while they catch up with the handsome, cigarette-smoking, booze-swilling characters.
Sunday also marks the end of "Luck," the horse-racing drama starring Dustin Hoffman that debuted on HBO in January. There will be no second season, HBO announced last week. The drama was canceled after the death of a third horse halted filming of the second season.
Sparkling costumes and dancing shoes return to TV on Monday night, when viewers can tune in for the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars." The current cast includes singer Gavin DeGraw, Jaleel White of "Family Matters" fame, TV personality Maria Menounos, soap star Jack Wagner, "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd and music icon Gladys Knight.
Also coming to the small screen are another string of awards season nominees. "The Muppets," "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and "Carnage" all have DVD releases set for Tuesday.
For music fans, it's a relatively quiet week. Among the CDs to be released Tuesday is a self-titled album by Casey James of "American Idol" fame and "Port of Morrow," the third studio album by The Shins.
Readers can look for the publication Tuesday of "Stay Close," a new thriller by best-selling writer Harlan Coben and "Phantom," the latest Alex Hawke novel by Ted Bell.
Also coming out that day is "Mudwoman," a new novel about a female college president by the prolific (more than 50 novels to her credit) Joyce Carol Oates and "Tough Sh*t," a book of profane but practical life advice from comedian and director Kevin Smith.

As we enter into the fall, we do so this year in a different state of mind than over the past few years. Persistent rains throughout the summer and into the fall have left producers in a unique situation. I have visited with several producers who struggled to get the last cutting of hay cured and put up between the rains and shorter days reducing drying time. I have also talked with several store managers who have indicated the rains have delayed farmer's abilities to over-seed or plant winter grazing for this winter and spring.
While these are negative conditions from the rainfall, the positive side is that hay should be plentiful and there appears to be an abundant amount of standing forage in most pastures I see throughout the state. This standing forage will present producers with an opportunity to carry their cows deeper into the fall before having to provide hay or other roughage supplements to meet the daily needs of their cattle.
To best utilize this standing forage does take some understanding of the characteristics of the product as well as knowledge of management practices. As the days get shorter, grass tends to mature and the rapid tender growth that is palatable as well as nutrient-rich comes to a rapid halt. This will leave you with a product lower in available nutrition and less desirable for the animal to consume. As this forage matures the lignin content in the forage itself will increase.
The lignin content in the cell wall of forages is what makes the grass "tuff," practically indigestible and cattle will tend to consume less of the product. This is one of the reasons why you can look across a pasture this time of the year and find areas heavily grazed while other areas of the field seem to be ignored by the cattle.
Also with an increase in cell wall percent and lignin comes an increase in neutral detergent fiber (NDF). NDF percent has a direct correlation with intake —- meaning the higher the NDF, the lower the amount the cow can intake and digest.
The bottom line is cattle consume less of the more mature, lower-nutrient grass leaving them in a nutrient-deficient situation. This will lead to cattle losing body weight and reduced milk production for those nursing calves. Producers who are utilizing standing forage must visually evaluate cattle for lost body condition. The last thing a producer needs is a cow going into the brunt of winter in a less than desirable body condition score.
The most common questions is whether there is a product or way to get cattle to consume the standing forage, to increase the nutrient availability of the forage and to add supplemental nutrition to the cow's diet. The answer to all of these questions is yes. While a lot of producers like to provide a mixture of salt and cottonseed meal to cattle during this time of the year, I prefer to use other products over this "hot meal ration."
The name hot meal comes from the fact this ration will cause cattle to have a desire to consume more forage due to a burning in the gut from this ration. While cattle will eat more of the forage and this product will provide some additional protein, it will not help the cattle to break down the high lignin content of the forage. So while the cattle will eat the grass, they will not be gaining any additional nutrients from the increase in forage intake.
The product I believe will best answer the three questions above is Alabama Farmers Cooperative's low-moisture block STIMU-LYX. While we have talked in the past about the use of STIMU-LYX as a way to supplement cattle during the winter, we have never discussed the benefits of using this product as a grazing management tool. The use of STIMU-LYX will offer the producer several benefits when utilizing standing forages like we have this fall.
The first advantage is as a grazing tool. Research has shown cattle will predominantly graze within close proximity of the block itself. This will allow you as a producer to manage your standing forage more efficiently. Place the tub in a certain area of your pasture and, as that area is grazed, then move the block to other underutilized areas of the pasture. This will allow you to more completely graze an area without leaving sections of your pasture under-grazed.
The second benefit the use of STIMU-LYX will offer is an increase in forage utilization. Research has shown that the use of highly-palatable, molasses-based, low-moisture blocks will increase forage utilization up to 30 percent. This increase in utilization will help you to get more from your forage, helping to maintain body condition and milking performance of your cow herd.
Also with the increase in forage utilization you will see an increase in forage breakdown. The consistent, constant intake of STIMU-LYX Blocks will increase the cow's ability to break down high lignin forages making them more digestible to the animal. The saliva production manufactured by the constant licking of the block helps to regulate pH in the rumen. The pH stays at a more constant level for digesting forages, thus increasing forage breakdown and utilization.
Two specific products, HLF 30 and STIMU-LYX containing Tasco, are specifically designed for low-quality forage utilization like you will see in standing forages. Both products have proven to be very successful as a grazing management tool and as a way to increase the digestibility of high NDF forages. This will allow your cattle to extract more nutrients from the forage while also increasing forage intake.
Another benefit of STIMU-LYX over a hot meal ration is it will not only offer additional protein and energy, but will also provide the minerals and vitamins your cattle need on a daily basis. The product contains the levels to meet the daily requirements of all minerals and vitamins, excluding salt, when consumed at the rate of .75 pounds per head per day.
You will need to provide free-choice salt when feeding STIMU-LYX. Another benefit to the tub from a mineral and vitamin standpoint is over 90 percent of cattle will visit a low-moisture tub daily while only 50 percent of your herd will visit a dry mineral daily. This increase in mineral and vitamin intake will have a direct impact on the reproductive performance of your herd.
The final benefit to this product is that it will provide all these benefits at a low cost per head per day. Most producers can provide STIMU-LYX at a cost of around 32 cents per head per day. For this you get a complete mineral and vitamin supplement, protein, energy, grazing management and an increase in forage intake and digestibility. This might be the very best value you can find in the cattle business.
If you have a large quantity of standing forage, I would highly recommend you consider the use of STIMU-LYX Tubs as a way to manage this forage. Your local Quality Co-op will either have the product in stock or have the ability to get the product for you in a short period of time.
If I can ever be of assistance to you, or if you have additional questions concerning STIMU-LYX Tubs or the utilization of standing forage, please contact me at (256) 947-7886 or

Jul 6, 2012
Loqheart's Cannon Cat was well-received on the iOS App Store, not just by players, where it amassed over a million downloads, but received critical praise from Apple, as it was their iPad Game of the Week, and got a glowing review on 148Apps. Now the game is making the jump to Android, and it's doing something interesting. One, the game is going from free to paid on Android. Generally, the reverse happens on Android due to the issues with making money off of selling apps directly to customers. However, Loqheart is planning on selling the game exclusively on the Nook Store for Nook Color and Nook Tablet for $2.99, to hopefully make money off of its game on Android the old-fashioned way.
Cannon Cat, for those that haven't played the iOS version, is a puzzle game of sorts where players must launch a cat through perilous levels, trying to rescue floating goldfish and reach the end of the level intact. Powerups are available to help make that job just a little bit easier. Cannon Cat is available now.

Russian politicians and media have denounced as politically motivated the 8-1/2 year jail sentences handed out by a provincial Tajik court on Nov 8 to Vladimir Sadovnichy, a Russian citizen, and Alexei Rudenko, an Estonian citizen.
Since the sentencing officials in Russia have rounded up hundreds of migrant Tajik workers and expelled them for living in the country illegally.
The country's most senior health official has also described them as disease ridden.
Expelling Tajik workers could have a huge impact on Central Asian state's economy. Cash sent home by thousands of Tajik men working on construction sites makes up about half of the country's national income.
About 300 Tajik workers have been deported so far, according to Russian media.
On Monday Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, insisted that the timing of the crackdown was a pure coincidence and not revenge for the jailing of the pilots.
"If there are people who don't have a permit it means they should be deported," Russian news agencies quoted Mr Medvedev as saying.
The row centres on what exactly the two pilots intended to do when they made an unscheduled landing at a provincial airport in Tajikistan in March. They had been flying in two separate cargo planes from Kabul to Moscow, a journey they had made dozens of times with humanitarian equipment, when they diverted to Tajikistan.
Despite not being given permission to land at the airport in the town of Kurgan-Tyube, about 50 miles south of Dushanbe, they said they had no choice as they had run out of fuel.
After landing police searched the planes and discovered a disassembled jet engine. They then arrested Sadovnichy and Rudenko for smuggling.
Tajik-Russian relations have been strained throughout the year over negotiations to renew Russia's lease on a military base in Tajikistan.
After months of negotiations, they announced a deal in September but details have yet to be given. One theory being touted by the Russian media for the long jail sentences handed out to the pilots was that Emomali Rakhmon, Tajikistan's president, is looking for a bargaining chip to extract more from the deal.

'The Bachelor' 2017: Who Did Nick Viall Keep and Send Home on Feb. 13, 2017?
The Feb. 13, 2017 episode of The Bachelor with Nick Viall started off where last week ended, with Nick tearfully telling the six remaining women how discouraged he had become about finding someone to love. Eventually, he pulled himself together after talking to Chris Harrison. Finally, he and the six remaining women headed off for Bimini where he eliminated two more women this week.
Below is a brief recap of the show, as well as the list of the women who received roses this week … and those who did not.
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read further if you do not want to know what happened this week!
Brief Bachelor Recap Feb. 13, 2017
After eliminating six women last week, this week's episode began with Nick telling the remaining six women he wasn't sure the process would work for him this time, even though he has already been on The Bachelorette twice and Bachelor in Paradise once. Then he walked out of the room, leaving the women to wonder if he had just left the show. They were stunned and understandably upset.
Nick went to see Chris Harrison and had a heart-to-heart talk with him. Afterwards, he pulled himself together and the whole group headed off to Bimini.
The first date in Bimini was a one-on-one date with Vanessa. They spent a romantic day on a boat and went snorkeling, followed by a romantic dinner, during which Vanessa confesses to Nick that she is falling in love with him.
The second date was a group date shared by Corinne, Raven and Kristina. They had an exciting time swimming with sharks. Corinne was jealous all week, first because Vanessa got a one-on-one date, then because she felt that Nick was paying too much attention to Kristina. The date rose went to Raven, which meant she is guaranteed a hometown date next week. Raven was also rewarded with a private evening with Nick, including a concert by Adam Friedman.
The third date this week was a one-on-one with Danielle M. The two took a bike ride around the city. At the end of the date, they have dinner together and Nick decides to send her home. She returns to the hotel for an emotional good-bye with the other women.
Corinne decides to sneak over to Nick's hotel room and see her. They have a few drinks and then she coaxes him to go into his bedroom, where there are no cameras, although their mics are still on. However, when she tries to unzip his pants, he sends her back to her room, which upsets her.
The fourth and final date this week was Nick taking Rachel out for drinks at a local bar. This date seemed much more "normal" than many dates on The Bachelor. They simply chatted and enjoyed a relaxing evening together.
After this week's dates were over, the women were getting ready for the rose ceremony, when Nick surprises them by showing up in their hotel room. Only one additional woman had to go home, and Nick talked privately with Kristina and then had her leave. Consequently, there was no rose ceremony. The hometown dates next week will be with Corinne, Vanessa, Raven and Rachel.
See more details below.

Chapter Eight: 18 Till I Die Summary and Analysis
August 26, 2006 - In a Seaside Town in Kanagawa Prefecture
Haruki is training for the triathlon and is focusing on cycling. His muscles are stiff from this training. He feels he must focus on cycling because running and swimming are more natural pursuits for him. The cycling is frightening in that his practice runs are in congested streets and heavy traffic with drivers who are largely unconcerned with the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. He's not especially nimble, and being so is necessary in order to weave in and out of the traffic. But he has a light weight titanium sports bike which makes maneuvering easier. Despite conditions, he grabs his water bottle and dons his biking helmet and mounts his bike. Bicycle training is a difficult and lonely experience. The weather, especially the...

This solution extends the coverage of Wi-Fi gateways and is an ideal solution for service providers looking to offer a home mesh network that further enhances the seamless connectivity users have come to expect for Wi-Fi as they roam throughout the home.
As service providers offer an increasing array of services to the home, the importance of a high-capacity, reliable Wi-Fi network becomes crucial for the successful deployment of services to multiple devices in the home. The OWA0130 will provide extended Wi-Fi coverage, at higher speed and reliability than existing Mesh products.
�A successful connected home experience today depends on reliable and high-quality Wi-Fi infrastructures which can support a growing array of devices requiring wireless access to the internet,� said Bart Vercammen, VP Product Management at Technicolor. �The collaboration between Technicolor and Quantenna offers network service providers an opportunity to offer subscribers consistent and excellent performance throughout their homes.�
�Quantenna is very pleased to partner with a media and technology leader such as Technicolor,� said Lionel Bonnot, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Quantenna. �Our line of wireless repeater solutions, which span from 5GHz 4-stream to tri-band 12-stream products, is the most complete in the industry and shows our commitment to this burgeoning market. We believe the combination of our wireless repeater solutions with our award-winning line of 4x4, 8x8 gateways and 802.11ax solutions positions Quantenna as the undisputed leader in Wi-Fi networking for service providers, retail and enterprise customers around the world.�
Technicolor�s OWA0130 is a multi-function extender which supports both 5GHz 802.11ac Wave 2 and 2.4GHz 802.11n networks. It can be easily configured to be a wired extender, which uses a gigabit Ethernet connection as the backhaul, or a fully wireless extender, in which the 5GHz 802.11ac is used as the backhaul. In either configuration, the OWA0130 supports a dual-band, dual-concurrent 4x4 5GHz 802.11ac and a 2x2 2.4GHz 802.11n network to downstream clients. The OWA0130 also supports Technicolor�s cloud-based Wi-Fi monitoring solution, Wi-Fi Doctor, and is available now.

REFERENCE 3Same DNA, more modest dimensions - and the same uncanny ability to generate an intricate, totally natural-sounding 3D soundstage. The two 165mm (6.5 inch) bass drivers are positioned perfectly above and below KEF's latest 125mm (5 inch) MF/HF Uni-Q driver array in a D'Appolito configuration. Fidelity across the midrange and treble is outstanding, and the transitions imperceptible. And with Uni-Q's broad inclusive dispersion, everyone in the room can enjoy the same rich, spatially precise acoustic imagery without being restricted to a narrow sweet spot. As well as putting you right at the heart of the original performance, it gives you the soul.
THE REFERENCEThe standard by which others are judged, and to which they aspire. The perfect reproduction of recorded sound is what KEF's legendary THE REFERENCE Series has always stood for. And after 40 years of continuous development, THE REFERENCE has earned its name as the yardstick of high-end acoustic engineering.
If you're a perfectionist when it comes to enjoying movies or music, it's the one name that towers above the rest. The Reference. It speaks for itself.

Alyssa Milano sightings are worth one star. Thus, similiar sucky movies like Commando, Embrace of the Vampire, Double Dragon, and Poison Ivy 2 are in the same 1 star bucket. On the upside, she really is the only tolerable character in this one note failure. Sigh.

A cathartic thriller with no wit or style. It's really not worth discussing for a whole paragraph. Final Grade: D

"Yes, it's a Game." --- No! No Game!
Now, any film with a reference to a game right in the dialogue makes me squirm with hate. I've never liked movies where the killer comes out at the beginning with "oh, this is a game by the way, hope you don't care, haha". Movies like that aren't really thrilling, and most of the time, if they're categorized as a thriller, they're filled with blood, over-dramatic music, and a secret that the viewer knows, but no one else in the movie does because they're oblivious or retarded. 'Pathology' was, to my dismay, exactly like those movies, with unrealistic characters, poor story line, uneventful dialogue, and a horrible choice of music.
With a pathetic twist, we'll start with the poorly run-down story. Ted, the protagonist, has the horrible fate of being in the wrong place and the wrong time...

If you love yourself, skip it.
If you feel like wasting time and watching something distastefully done and gory then Pathology is just for you.
In a typical Hollywood Horror fashion, we see a lot of blood, people's insides on the outside and almost too graphic sex scenes.
The way I see it, the actors did the best they could with their parts but the enormous leak in the script is just there and no amount of acting talent could make up for it.
Ventimiglia and Weston give good performances and almost manage to make the movie exciting near the end.
The main idea of the so called plot is apparently the nature of human kind and what people are capable of doing - an idea that is fast becoming overused and in this movie it's not even that well done.
To sum it up - I wouldn't recommend this movie to any person whom I...

Slightly short of the mark.
'Pathology' is an interesting little thriller. On the one hand it tries (and fails) to deliver a sense of morality to its precedings, a la 'Saw', but it just doesn't have that movie's depth or characters that you really care about. On the other hand, it does kill (!) 90 minutes and deliver a satisfactory ending.
The plot (or lack of) centres around brilliant graduate student Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia), a beacon of respectability and high moral values, who joins a team of fellow pathologists that have God-like egos. The main protagonist, Jake (Michael Weston), dares Ted to join 'The Game' - where the person being dared has to kill at random and the rest of the team have to use their skills to show how the deed was done. Will the seemingly incorruptableTed take up the challenge of get...

text: Anthropologists have long looted the gravesites of native peoples in the name of science — and profit. But the recent trend to return those remains for reburial is not always welcomed by the cultures involved. "Far from being led by Native communities, the trend towards repatriation is driven by intellectuals on the cultural left, and endorsed by the key cultural and political institutions in mainstream Western society. It is a consequence of the decline of Enlightenment values within intellectual thought and the rise of relativism and mysticism within postmodern academia, and has had a practical impact upon governments and museums. If indigenous groups have come to identify with repatriation claims, it is mainly because they are working within a political terrain set up by intellectual trends generated elsewhere."

* Luxury overflows in Lebanon's capital
* Redeveloped centre lives for shopping
* But Internet and electricty problematic
By Douglas Hamilton
* Luxury overflows in Lebanon's capital
* Redeveloped centre lives for shopping
* But Internet and electricty problematic
By Douglas Hamilton
BEIRUT, July 27 (Reuters) - Chanel, Dior, Brioni, Valentino,
Cartier, Bulgari, Longines, Rolex, Panerai, Louis Vuitton,
Armani, Tom Ford, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Hermes, Dolce &
Gabbana, Louboutin.
You name it, Beirut's got it. These days, however, it seems
there are not that many people around who want it, or at least
not enough who can afford to buy it.
Although not many are ready to say so, some of the plush,
brand-name boutiques of the 21st century Beirut Souk have a
dearth of rich clients. Their staff, bored stiff, stand around
all suited-up and made-up with hardly anyone to serve.
In normal summers, many of the ultra-wealthy of the Gulf
move to Lebanon to escape the stifling heat at home and enjoy a
lively, cosmopolitan, Arabic-speaking city that appreciates the
art of conspicuous consumption.
This year is different. Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Gulf
states are urging citizens not to come, citing security concerns
in a country shaken by the uprising next door in Syria.
"Business is a bit down for sure," said Walid at Alexander
McQueen. "But about 70 percent of our clientele is Lebanese,
either from here or living abroad. So we don't depend on Gulf
visitors entirely."
"In Lebanon, it's always up and down," he said, in a nod to
the 1975-1990 civil war that ripped the capital to bits, and the
bouts of violence that have punctuated political life since.
But some luxury vendors maintain they are scare-proof.
"It's a matter of brand awareness," said one impeccably
dressed salesman at Louis Vuitton, where it seems elegant women
and girls in expensive denim can't get enough of handbags, price
be damned. "We're doing very well," he smiled.
At Louboutin, where $6,000 gets you a pair of Daffodile
spike-heels encrusted in Swarovski crystal, business is "not as
great as expected but better than last year", said an assistant.
Still, some less snooty brands even have "Sale" signs on
their aristocratic shopfronts, discreetly placed of course.
While the Lamborghini website currently offers 40 percent
off keychains and fashion accessories, Lamborghini cars such as
the outrageous 700 hp Aventador parked in a chic street, with
Dubai plates, still cost $400,000 or so.
In a car-crazy city where the lowly pedestrian is more
likely to be buzzed by a Porsche SUV than a Nissan compact, it's
hard to tell, but the impression is that there may be fewer
supercars around this year than last summer.
The Saudis this month joined Bahrain, United Arab Emirates
and Qatar in advising their nationals to stay away from Beirut,
after sectarian tensions fuelled by the Syrian revolt sparked
some street fighting in Lebanon earlier this year.
Rumour has it that some of the gleaming $200 million yachts
that adorn Beirut's modern marina have weighed anchor and left.
Maybe not back to Cayman Islands registration ports, but to some
other Mediterranean haven. Morocco is said to be in vogue.
A Saudi Foreign ministry official spoke of "the unstable
situation in the Lebanese arena", and Saudi Arabia should know.
The Sunni Muslim Gulf Arabs - particularly Saudi and Qatar -
have thrown their weight behind the Sunni-led anti-government
uprising in Syria, paying the salaries of a rebel army and
calling for the opposition to be armed.
"But they're still coming from the Gulf," said a manager at
one top-of-the-line clothing outlet, offering Versace and Kiton
among other celebrated Italian tailor-designers. "Those who know
Beirut and have apartments here, they're still coming."
"The royal families won't come. They can hardly advise their
people not to come here then come themselves," he said. "And
those who used to drive, you know, 21 people in a convoy of
three Suburbans, well they can't do that because of the
situation." The drive from Arabia goes via Syria.
Beirut opinion is divided about the city's impressive
postwar downtown redevelopment, which removed some of the scars
of the civil war and transplanted the new Souk at its heart.
Some love its lofty, quiet, airy layout of marble and glass
lanes lined with bright shops, and the surrounding streets of
pale golden stone facades, cut in neo-Ottoman style, where a
Bentley coupe and a Ferrari or two are not out of place.
The streets are swept spotlessly clean. Litter is absent
among glossy office towers hosting an alphabet of banks. City
workers in overalls, mostly Africans it seems, use
Ostrich-feather dusters to keep the traffic lights clean. No
Not everyone likes it. Some say the centre is a soulless
temple to Mammon and commercialism that has robbed Beirut of its
cultural heart, obliterating the old Levantine market streets of
overflowing shops where traders shouted for business.

Maternity Clothes: Oh yes, all the time! Even a few items I bought early on are starting to get tight on this big belly. The shirt above is from Target, hoping to get some use out of it now & then once baby girl is here!
Best Moment This Week: More Easter celebrating with Waverly, she is so much fun to do these kinds of things with right now! And we got a few new baby girl purchases, a pair of the sweetest moccasins & her take-home outfit! It's getting real, friends.
Miss Anything: I really try not to be a complainer, especially when it comes to pregnancy since I feel beyond fortunate to have had two healthy pregnancies so far, but this week has been really challenging for my body. I woke up Monday morning with shooting pains down my right leg, I had a charlie horse that night (which I get often), so I thought it was a result of that or that I had just slept weird. Long story short, they never went away & by Tuesday they had only gotten worse. In addition to the pains, both my leg and foot were going numb on & off. It definitely seems to be a textbook case of sciatica, which I never got with Waverly, but apparently this baby girl has found a spot she loves right on a nerve. My doctor said that though it won't affect the baby at all (which is ultimately what I care about most), it probably is here to stay & may continue to get worse, possibly even moving into the other leg. So far that has been the case, especially after being on my feet at work & then coming to chase after a toddler. I've had several moments where I really could hardly walk (& convinced myself I would be in a wheel chair before long), but then others that I felt lots better. So for now, I am taking it day by day & just feeling happy that baby girl is as healthy as ever!
Movement: Her movement hasn't changed at all, lots of kicks & rolls, I love them all!
Cravings: I have a total sweet tooth lately, & the Easter candy is not helping it!
Queasy or Sick: Other than my leg issues, feeling good - no nausea & that makes me happy.
Looking Forward To: My spring break!! It officially kicks off this Friday & I am super excited! We have plans for a one-night babymoon, nothing crazy but just a little getaway while my parents keep Waverly overnight. We are also going to make a day trip to Ikea, it's three hours away from us but we still need a dresser for the nursery & this one would be perfect! :)
Lastly, I feel like I share stories like these often, but they are exactly the things I want to remember one day. As soon as our bedtime routine hits each night, Waverly wants to know exactly what we are doing the next day (planner like mama?). The other night she asked & I told her about our Easter Egg Hunt, then of course I had to go through the list of people who were coming. I told her Juliette was coming, she is my friend's one month old daughter. Waverly immediately asked if she could hold her & I said "probably, and you know who you are going to get to hold lots really soon, your baby sister!." Her eyes got huge, she had the happiest face ever, & she said, "I am SO excited". Seriously, I could have died. Then she asked me (for about the tenth time) if she would be able to walk & then said "I think I'm going to text her right now. Can I have her number?".
Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Factors that influence the price of silver include supply and demand as well as speculation, according to CBMint. Economic factors that affect demand include currency health, interest rates and stock market indices. During market trading hours, the price of silver can change every few seconds, if not sooner.Continue Reading
Silver typically tracks the price of gold; as gold prices rise and fall, silver tends to do the same, according to Investopedia. Important industries that affect the demand for silver include electronics, where it is used for switches and circuits, film photography and solar panels, where silver paste is used to conduct electricity.
Silver is extracted from ores of copper, gold and zinc. Because copper accounts for 26 percent of all silver mined and is used in new home construction, changes in the housing market can affect demand for copper and indirectly affect demand for silver, which ultimately affects silver's price.
Investors often use silver to hedge currency risk as the dollar weakens. Because silver is used both as an industrial metal and a hard asset, it is one of the most versatile metals available. Investors can buy actual physical silver or "paper" silver, where an investor does not take actual possession but instead allows it to be held on his behalf by an exchange traded fund (ETF) or depository, according to CBMint.Learn more about Currency & Conversions
