Fantastic location and resort, obviously striving for great things after the recent improvements made on the park, caravan was really spacious and when we did have to call a technician out to a boiler issue they were out and resolved the problem within 30 minutes or so, very prompt, the customer service on site was excellent apart from the leisure manager running the swimming pool, we were told that the pool was open weekdays up to 17:00, not a problem, we went along with our 10 month old toddler for a quick 10-15 mins dip at around 16:20 only to be greeted/barked at by the (Leisure Manager) ,
Recently had a large family group visit us so booked in a lodge as we couldnt accomodate them all ..The lodge was perfect ..attention to detail was amazing ..it was spotlessly clean and reasonably priced given the quality of furnishings ,the staff we attentive and nothing was too much ,Local ammenities are on the door step with the site having a shop ..chippy and swimming pool not to mention the lovely beach .whether you choose to stay on the site or have a drive into the nearest town theres always plenty to do ..
We have just returned from a 4 nights break at Talacre Beach holiday Park. We arrived on the Monday and couldn\'t collect the keys until 4pm because the caravan was being cleaned .
The caravan was really dirty stains everywhere ,the shower still had shampoo spillage and hairs on the shower shelf,the kitchen cupboards had ketchup on the door handles,hand marks all over the kettle and toaster and nowhere had been hovered ..so I don\'t know why we had to wait until 4 pm for cleaning? On a positive note the beds and bedding were spotless.
The swimming pool was lovely the bar area was nice and the beach a 5 min drive away
And apart from the caravan being un clean (cleaner now when I had finished) 😁 it is a nice holiday camp for families with younger children . It\'s put us off taking my grandson back but that\'s just my thoughts and the staff did say that they have made a note about it .
Lovely small site, perfect for very young children. Park grounds kept spotless. Caravan was lovely. Went to evening mini disco our granddaughter loved it. Will definitely come back.
Just got back from brilliant weekend stay at Lodge with hot tub,, spacious clean and tidy, with all mod cons, all staff we spoke to were helpful and pleasant, facilities were excellent,!! Just wat we needed,, definitely recommend,,,
We use a range of high-quality suppliers

Breaking News: Georgia Hires St. Louis Rams' Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer
I wrote earlier today about what I didn't like about the three candidates that were said to be leaders for Georgia's offensive coordinator vacancy. I didn't talk at length in that article about the candidate I really liked—Brian Schottenheimer.
I didn't talk about Schotty in that article because I'd already written about him at length as the perfect candidate.
In Schottenheimer Georgia gets a big-name, a strong football pedigree, a fantastically appealing resume and a solid teacher. This is a coup.
That's all I got/

Stock futures are plunging.
In fact, as of Sunday night, Dow futures were down nearly 300 points. All after the trade war intensified late last week, with no real end in sight.
Shortly after China retaliated with tariffs on $75 billion worth of goods last week, President Trump tweeted:
"Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. I will be responding to China's Tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States. Also, I am ordering all carriers, including FedEx, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE all deliveries of Fentanyl…"
Then, President Trump said the 25% tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese imports would rise to 30% by October 1, 2019. Separately, the remaining $300 billion worth of imports will be tariffed at 15% instead of 10% by September 1, 2019.
"Sadly, past Administrations have allowed China to get so far ahead of Fair and Balanced Trade that it has become a great burden to the American Taxpayer,"he also. tweeted. "As President, I can no longer allow this to happen!"
As we've noted, some of the best ways to prep for this volatility is with the following:
ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF UVXY
VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX Short-Term ETN TVIX
iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures [VXX}

Women's hockey stars are taking their show on the road
They're launching a barnstorming tour while their boycott continues
This is a web version of CBC Sports' daily email newsletter. Stay up to speed on what's happening in sports by subscribing here.
Here's what you need to know right now from the world of sports:
Women's hockey players are getting their own thing going
It's been a tough last few months for the sport. Back in the spring, the CWHL — one of the two women's pro hockey leagues in North America — folded. A few weeks later, about 200 of the world's best players banded together and announced they would boycott the remaining league — the NWHL — until they get a single, "sustainable" women's pro league in North America that offers them better pay, benefits and working conditions. Ideally, the NHL would own and operate such a league, but it's shown little interest in doing that. More recently, the Four Nations Cup (one of the biggest annual tournaments on the women's calendar) was cancelled by organizers in Sweden after that country's players went on strike for more or less the same reasons.
With many of them having nowhere to go, the players created their own series of events. It's called the Dream Gap Tour, and it bills itself as "a series of showcase events played with the mission of closing the gap between what boys and girls can aspire to achieve" (specifically, the opportunity to make a living playing hockey). It was created by the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association — a union formed shortly after the boycott was announced in May. The barnstorming tour has three stops: Toronto, New Hampshire and Chicago will each host a four-team tournament over the course of a weekend in the next month or so. The plan is to add more dates at some point.
There's a lot of star power. Canadian Olympic stars Marie-Philip Poulin, Natalie Spooner and Brianne Jenner are involved. Americans Kendall Coyne Schofield and Brianna Decker, who both stole the show at the last NHL skills competition, are also participating. None of the players will be paid. PWHPA president Jayna Hefford said the goal is for the tour to break even.
The first tour stop is this weekend in Toronto. The captains of the four teams are all Canadians: Poulin, Jenner, Rebecca Johnston and Liz Knox. Spooner and Decker are also playing this weekend, but Coyne Schofield was not listed on the official team rosters. The games are being held at a 1,200-seat arena. They take place Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET and 3:30 p.m. ET, and Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. ET. You can stream them all live here. Read more about the Toronto event and the tour in general here.
It's crunch time in baseball. With only 10 days left in the regular season, teams are jockeying for playoff spots and positioning. There's not much in the way of division races this year. The Yankees and Dodgers have already clinched theirs, and Houston and Atlanta are on the verge of joining them any day now. Things are a little tighter for Minnesota and St. Louis (they have four- and three-game leads, respectively) but both teams are still good bets to win their divisions. The only real drama, then, will probably come in the wild-card races. Two spots are available in each league. The AL has three teams in the hunt: Oakland leads Tampa Bay and Cleveland by two games. The NL has more teams in the mix, but it'll probably come down to Washington, Milwaukee and the Chicago Cubs. They're all within two games of each other. You can take a look at the standings here.
One of the Yankees' best pitchers will reportedly miss the rest of the regular season and the playoffs after an alleged domestic-violence incident. Domingo German's 18-4 record is the best on the staff, and his 2.0 Wins Above Replacement is the second-highest among Yankees starters. He was placed on administrative leave Thursday under the joint domestic violence policy of Major League Baseball and the players' association. The standard length of such a leave is seven days, but it can be extended if both MLB and the union agree to do so. It looks like that's what's happening here. ESPN reports that German won't be allowed to pitch again this year. No one seems to know much about the details of the alleged incident, and no police report was filed, but other reports said it happened at German's home earlier this week and involved his girlfriend.
The Rugby World Cup has kicked off. The 20-team tournament is held every four years, and this time it's in Japan. The Canadian team is ranked 22nd in the world. It's in a brutal pool with New Zealand (winner of the last two World Cups), South Africa (winner of the one before that), Italy (ranked 14th) and Namibia (23rd). Only the top two teams after round-robin play advance to the quarter-finals. A more realistic goal for Canada is finishing in the top three in the pool, which would guarantee an invite to the next World Cup. But even that's a tall order for a country that won only two matches over the last four World Cups. Canada's first game isn't until Thursday, against Italy. Then it faces New Zealand on Oct. 2, South Africa on Oct. 8 and Namibia on Oct. 13. The knockout stage starts Oct. 19 and the final is Nov. 2. Read more about the Canadian team's outlook here.
And finally...
Dan Girardi's (painful) NHL career is over. The league started recording blocked shots for the 2005-06 season, and Girardi is the leader with 1,954. The bulk of those came with the Rangers. He spent his first 11 seasons with them and the last two with Tampa Bay before announcing his retirement Friday. Girardi never won a Stanley Cup, but he did make about $45 million US by CapFriendly.com's estimate. Still, tough way to make a good living.

I totally disagree with this proverb. If I do not have something, it is me who truly feels how much I need it. I do not talk about feelings only, but knowledge and skills as well. As a teacher, I am not always good at teaching all areas of English language. When I recognize my disability or lack, I work hard to improve that and prove to myself that I can do it.

What does your connections academy day look like?
Hi everyone, Amanda here.
Haven't started connections academy for my daughter yet, but we've decided on trying it for her 6th grade year. I know there are good things and bad things about it, that's okay, I feel we need to try it out for ourselves. Because some people really do like it. Anyway, I was just wondering, what does your average school day look like if you use connections academy specifically? Like I said looking into it for her 6th grade year. So anything around that age range would be ideal. 5th-8th. Do you schedule morning grocery trips or doctor appointments? Or is there a specific start time to class, how long is your day, what kind of stuff do you do to teach your kiddos, aside from what the teachers are teaching? Anything you can tell me about a daily routine would help out tremendously!!! I'm walking in the dark. Lol oh and is there "homework" at night too? Thanks so much everyone!

Connections academy
They are very flexable, my kids start school at 9 on most days... the only time you have to be online is for live lessons every teacher has there own way of doing things last year my 5th grader had all of his live lessons at 1pm m-th we missed a few it's really not a big deal they are recorded so they can be rewatched each day was a different subject. Some days it was a social live lesson where they played games or had times for sharing.. my 2nd grader it was more like show and tell my 5th grader talked about what they did/doing this weekend.... my son prefers to do longer school days and take a day off... as long as you do the required hours a week and communicate with your teachers you are fine. You have a scheduler you run to organize your days and classes.

Hybrid - Norton N15 or Matchless G15?
I just purchased a basket case 67 bike that purports to be a Matchless but I know both Norton and Matchless were badging virtually the same bike at this time. I only have the engine number now. it is G15CS 124188. The frame is supposed to match, but I have not been able to verify that yet. Does anyone know for sure what this is? I am also not totally sure it is a '67. It may be a '68.

Re: Hybrid - Norton N15 or Matchless G15?
Going by the engine number it is a Matchless G15CS. The Norton version has N15CS then the engine number. The engine and frame numbers should match. This is a later coil igntion model going by the 124 number.

Re: Hybrid - Norton N15 or Matchless G15?
A 1968 model, Although the G15CS was included in the 1968 model range, which commenced production Sept 1st 1967. It hardly got started, as it was discontinued in Oct 1967, so probably only a few machines were on the production line when the decission was made to discontinue the model.In fact, at the same time the G15 & G15CSR were discontinued. A lot of models were being discontinued at this time inc. P11. 124371 is given as the last G15 CS number but that number is also seen as being a N15CS. Frame and engine numbers should match. Considering what was going on at the time, who knows what 124188 may had ended up as, to use up work in progress before the closure. A G15CS or a N15CS or even something else. You can only take a guess, or for a small fee check with the clubs dating officer.

Currently each Tuple read in by Pig is wrapped into a TargetedTuple which has an attribute holding a list of operator keys corresponding to the root operators for which the tuple is targeted. For example in a cogroup query the tuple would be destined for one of the two roots of the plan depending on which input it is sourced from. This information is contained in the TargetedTuple. However this adds unnecessary overhead at load time in a map as for each tuple this extra list needs to be attached and also on entry into the map(), the operators corresponding to the operator keys in the list need to be looked up in the map plan.
This overhead can be eliminated by just serializing this list of target operators at the Record Reader level and then deserializing the list in the configure() of the map(). After deserialization, the actual operators corresponding to the operator keys can also be looked up in the configure() itself. This way this setup is done one time in the configure() rather than adding extra overhead to each input tuple and each map() call.

Armed with valuable stock and $1.25 billion in capital raised through a convertible debt offering last February, Bezos has made a number of multimillion-dollar acquisitions and investments over the last several months as his company expands beyond books, music, and videos. In addition, Amazon will ask its shareholders for authority to increase its number of outstanding shares by 1.5 billion, up from the 300 million stockholders have already authorized.
Amazon acquired a 46 percent stake in online pharmacy Drugstore.com last February and followed that with a 50 percent stake in the largest Internet-only pet supply company, Pets.com.
Earlier this month, the company announced its acquisition of LiveBid.com to grow its recently created auction business.
And just yesterday, Amazon announced it was snapping up three Internet companies for $645 million in separate stock deals. Among the companies acquired were rare book and music title finder Exchange.com, Web database technology provider Alexa Internet, and e-commerce transaction technology start-up Accept.com. Accept.com is backed by venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which backed Amazon, and Benchmark Capital, an early investor in eBay.
Bezos sat down yesterday for a chat with CNET News.com's Dawn Kawamoto and John Borland.
CNET News.com: What is the connection between Alexa Internet, Exchange.com, and Accept.com in terms of your strategy?
Jeff Bezos: None other than that they were all announced yesterday. The common thread is that they all came together on the same day.
Can Amazon quickly absorb all the companies it has acquired of late?
The biggest risk for Amazon is the risk of executing well. And it's not just about the acquisitions. We have to execute well in delivering a high level of customer service, new geographies, and new products. And that's hard to do while rapidly growing. I'm worried about that and want to do it well. But the way to manage execution risk is to have everyone on the same page.
How will you meld these acquisitions with Amazon? Will they operate as
separate units?
It depends on the company. But they will mostly stay together as teams. They will retain a great deal of cohesion.
Will any of the executives be integrated into Amazon upper management?
Yes, some of the executives will be involved in upper management. But the way we operate, we don't attach much importance to titles. We're not very hierarchical. Customers care more about what kind of service they're getting than about what kinds of titles people have.
Exchange.com is based in Cambridge, Alexa Internet is in San Francisco, and
Accept.com is in Redwood City, California. Will all three companies move to
Alexa will stay in San Francisco. The rest will come to Seattle.
When will customers notice the integration of these acquisitions?
You know how software development can go. Historically, we have not announced anything until there is something to announce. With Alexa and Accept.com, there may not be anything tomorrow, but this a long-term strategy.
Accept.com is about one year old. Is it the youngest company Amazon has
acquired so far?
I think it's the only company we've acquired so far without a product. But in every case where we've acquired a company, the primary focus is the people.
Did venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers introduce your company
to Accept.com, given KPCB was a backer of Drugstore.com, in which you took an
earlier investment stake?
I don't remember how we were introduced or when. I wasn't involved in the process early on. I had other people who were talking to Accept and only came in later.
In acquiring these companies, you used a purchase accounting method,
instead of a pooling of interests. Was it because the SEC is getting tougher
on pooling-of-interests transactions or because you didn't qualify for that
accounting method?
We used a purchase accounting method where it is appropriate.

"Poland owes its freedom to Warsaw Uprising"
The Warsaw Uprising of 1944 against Poland's Nazi German occupiers was a huge step towards building a free Poland, President Andrzej Duda said at the Warsaw Uprising Museum on Tuesday.
Speaking during ceremonies held ahead of the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, which were attended by veterans of the fight and scouts, Andrzej Duda said the "Warsaw Uprising was an act of great heroism," and thanks to the Warsaw heroes, Poles can enjoy living in a free Poland today.
He told the gathered insurgents that they are "a great authority" for the younger generation.
"You are such an invaluable treasure of history, but above all independence, that young people are ready to come from all over Poland to be near you, even for a moment, to be able to listen to your words, to serve you, just as you served Poland as very young people, putting your lives at risk," the president said.
Earlier, the Warsaw Uprising veterans and people involved in the preservation of the memory of this heroic act were presented with state decorations and Medals of the 100th Anniversary of Regaining Independence.
The Warsaw Uprising was the largest resistance operation in German-occupied Europe during World War II. For 63 days, the Poles fought on their own, receiving only a small amount of support as part of the airdrops by the Allies. (PAP)

Lately I've been reading back through some of our play posts and remembering the fun we've been having- the best thing about blogging it all, in my opinion. So I thought I would collate a few of them here, for your convenience. You're welcome!
Here are 10 Tuff Spot activities to enhance learning through play
- Messy Pirates! We loved this one so much and the hidden treasure water play is one activity the children ask for over and over. This was an activity that lasted all day and one I keep meaning to set up again. We loved practising mark making and indulging in sensory play with water, shaving foam and moon sand. Great fun!
- Paintballing! This is one we do lots and lots, over and over. We've even got some of the resulting art work in frames in the play room. It's a great activity and it can be adapted for all ages too.
- Moon sand dinosaur world. Dinosaurs are still huge in our house and we often use different materials to create new worlds for them. Moon sand is one material we come back to time and again and we really made the most of it in this activity. This was a fabulous imaginary play activity!
- Ah, the edible garden. We loved this one. We use our WonderWorld Eco house and made sure that all the other materials were edible so that the littlest one could join in. We used cake for soil and made flowers from icing. The Big One and I loved setting this up and I think we need to revisit this one soon!
- Gloop! What more can I say? We LOVE gloop and we have used it so many times in our play!
- Giant outdoor texture painters and shaving foam paint. These are used all the time, more so in the summer because we take them outside. Great fun!
- Ice cream factory messy play! Wow. This was great fun. Very messy but VERY fun!
- Shaving foam! Such a cheap and easy material to get hold of and it never ever disappoints. We have had such great fun with this one and it's fab for mark making too.
- Dining out on mud and worms. Ha! One for the younger ones, edible mud and worms. Great fun.
- Farm world with chocolate scented soil. Another fab one and we still have the soil today- never ending fun!

If I awaken in my sleep (nightmares-of course) My bg could be as low as 30, and I feel like I'm dying,driping in sweat. Not only that, but I am so exhausted from the ups and downs. If I awaken in the night I'm tired all day, and visa/versa. However, since I have started the pump this hasn't been an issue for me.

Daniel Rinehart is a 37-year-old avid bicyclist and hiker who understands the value of a nutrition and fitness regimen. While doing his best to get outside, stay active, and eat a healthy diet, it often proves difficult due to his day job as a software developer. Daniel was looking for an accurate way to keep his finger on the pulse of his health, and he was having a hard time finding a practical solution. Then, he attended a talk by InsideTracker founder, Dr. Gil Blander. He was intrigued by the opportunity to obtain evidence-based health knowledge and detailed feedback about biomarkers that are not typically measured at the doctor's office. Consequently, he ordered a package of four InsideTracker Performance plans.
Diving Into The Data
When the results of Rinehart's first test came back, he discovered low levels of vitamin D and high levels of ferritin. Rinehart, who lives in Boston, wasn't surprised by his low vitamin D levels, since people who live in cold, northern altitudes are often low in this particular vitamin because it is derived from sunlight. However, having low levels of vitamin D can be problematic; vitamin D increases bone health, muscle mass, and strength, among many other health benefits. Rinehart's high ferritin levels were also troublesome; some studies indicate a potential relationship between ferritin and heart disease.
"I expect that the preventive medicine aspect of InsideTracker will help me as I get older," Rinehart said. "Personalized medicine is one of the most interesting parts of what InsideTracker can do because the biomarkers that it tracks might not be measured by your annual physical," he continued.
Learn how we can provide you with personalized diet and exercise recommendations to fit your unique needs!
Strategizing Towards Optimal
Rinehart took a unique approach to his InsideTracker tests — he used the results of his first and second tests to establish a baseline number for his ferritin and vitamin D levels. Then, between his second and third and fourth tests, he started taking InsideTracker's nutrition recommendations to see what impact the guidelines would have on his health. He completely changed what he ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and added a vitamin D supplement to his daily regimen. Adhering to these recommendations paid off — Rinehart's third and fourth test results showed vastly improved vitamin D levels. In addition, he noticed that other biomarkers —which were not necessarily in his sub-optimal zone, but had room for improvement — were drastically boosted with his new diet.
Rinehart found that InsideTracker's ability to customize recommendations based on his unique physiology really helped him to understand his body. What makes InsideTracker unique is its integration of an "optimal zone" in the blood analysis — a number that is specific to each person and takes into account his or her own unique demographic information such as: age, gender, ethnicity, activity level, as well as lifestyle and performance goals. InsideTracker's sophisticated algorithm called B.R.A.I.N (Biomarker Research Analysis Integrative Network) determines the optimal zones for each marker based on the latest peer-reviewed research. So while Rinehart's physicians may not have noticed his sub-optimal levels of vitamin D and ferritin because they were within the "normal" range for the general population, his levels were actually not high enough to meet his personal needs.
Empowering Himself With Knowledge
Rinehart remarked that he appreciated InsideTracker's clear, user-friendly interface. "The charting and visual representation of your biomarkers, the history of your tests, and the areas of improvement were very good," he said. Does he have any advice for people who are looking to improve their health, wellness, and performance? "Additional knowledge is always valuable. In order to attain your full physical capabilities, you need to have the right information going forward," he said. Lesson learned: even if you're exercising and eating healthfully, there's always room for improvement with help from InsideTracker!

April 06, 2020You've no doubt heard the word prophylactic and not considered its meaning. The word comes from a Greek term that means an advanced guard. In short, it applies to taking preventive measures against something. If we mentioned prophylactic spraying, we would be referring to preventive spraying, but what does prophylactic spray do and what is it used for? Prophylactic spraying has been used in farming for decades to help keep pests from destroying crops. As it applies to cleaning and sanitizing, a prophylactic spray is a spray used to help prevent germs and bacteria. All of this is a fancy way of saying that a prophylactic spray is a proactive way of dealing with something.
Proactive Versus ReactiveThe current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an example of reactive behavior. We are reacting to a health crisis in the best way we can. Suddenly the public is more aware of the importance of a sanitized environment, being cautious of the things we touch because we aren't sure who else has touched them that might have been carrying the coronavirus, and even taking more care in sanitizing our home environments when someone in the home is sick. Sanitizing regularly and effectively is something we should be doing all the time, but it isn't always done, and if it is, it isn't always done effectively. A more aware public would not have stopped the current pandemic, but if the population as a whole had spent more time with consistent and effective sanitizing solutions, we would have had a less attractive environment for the coronavirus to thrive in, thereby helping to reduce the quick spread of the disease.
Germinator Atlanta Is the Ideal Solution to Proactive Versus ReactiveGerminator Atlanta is the solution you've been waiting for to give your business, school, daycare, hospital, doctor's office, long-term living facility, gymnasium, movie theater, or store the convenient, proactive approach to helping prevent the spread of disease and the growth of germs and bacteria. To start with, Germinator Atlanta comes to you at your convenience. There's no need to hire a cleaning staff you need to oversee and no need to have potentially harmful chemical-based sanitizers kept on site. We bring everything with us to accomplish the job.
The Germinator Two-Step ProcessStep One - Genesis
It's Never Too Late to Get Proactive Against Germs and BacteriaThe current COVID-19 pandemic doesn't appear to be going away soon. While there is no cure for COVID-19 and we are learning more about it every day, we know our Germinator Atlanta can help prevent the spread of coronavirus. The CDC recommends sanitizing often during this pandemic, and there simply isn't a safer, better way to sanitize than with Germinator Atlanta. Right now, with so many essential businesses still open for business, sanitizing is more important than ever. The coronavirus may already be here, but if we all do our part to keep our surroundings clean and sanitized, we can do our part in helping spread the transmission of the disease.

Danger of a Faulty Purge Valveby Edmund Gary
The purge valve is part of the EVAP (evaporative emission control) system of the automotive gasoline engine. The EVAP system prevents gases from entering the atmosphere while the engine is off. A faulty purge valve can compromise the EVAP system.
Extra Pollution
One danger of a faulty purge valve is the fuel vapors will escape from the fuel system and create a source of pollution. A properly working EVAP system traps the fuel vapors in the charcoal canister whenever the engine is off. When the car is started the trapped vapors are introduced into the combustion chamber (through the open purge valve) for burning.
A faulty purge valve can be caused by a leak in one of the hoses. A hole that is as small as a pin prick can be the source of the leak. Discovery of the leak can be made when technicians use special equipment called a smoke machine.
Faulty Canister
The charcoal canister can be affected by a bad purge valve. Faulty purge valves can cause the charcoal canister to become defective, providing that the valve is incorporated into the canister. Replacement of the canister may be the only option.

There's no rest for the Gary.
Four days after outplaying FC Cincinnati [not just our opinion: check the stats], Nashville SC travels to Charlotte for a date with the ninth-place Independence, whom they defeated 2-0 at home in April.
Let's get you ready for the match.
Match Details
Charlotte Independence [9th place, 6-6-6, 24 points in 18 matches ] v. Nashville SC [5th place, 7-3-6, 27 points in 16 matches]
Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. CT
Sportsplex at Matthews — Matthews, NC [Capacity: 2,500]
How to Watch or Listen
Local TV: MyTV 30 [John Freeman and Eddie Carvacho have the call]
Live stream: ESPN Plus
Stats: USL MatchCenter
About Charlotte Independence
- Affiliation: Colorado Rapids [here's some info about their partnership]
- Stadium: Sportsplex at Matthews (2,500)
- Charlotte's stadium is the anchor of a 12-field soccer complex southeast of downtown
- The team made its debut there in 2017
- Coach: Mike Jeffries (5th season)
- Jeffries coached the MLS's Dallas Burn (now FC Dallas) from 2001 to 2003
- He won the Hermann trophy in 1983, which is given to the nation's top male college soccer player
- Jeffries made three appearances for the U.S. national team in the mid-1980s
- First Season: 2014
- 2017 Finish: 13-10-9 (5th East, lost in Conference Quarterfinals to Rochester, 2-1)
- Best-ever Finish: 2016 (14-8-8, 5th East, Conference Quarterfinals)
- Supporters' Groups: Jack's Militia, QC Royals, Slogic Army
- Three Fun Facts:The team is named after the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, a document that some claim was the first such declaration in the American colonies (although historians have debunked this and Thomas Jefferson called it a hoax)
- Charlotte ranks 10th in the league in scoring but only 28th in shots. That gives them the best conversion rate [20 percent] in the league. By comparison, Nashville scores on just 11 percent of its shots
- Four Independence players have been sent off this season. That's more than any team in the Eastern Conference and only behind hot messes Las Vegas and Tulsa
Why it Matters for Nashville SC
Gary Smith loves citing the old adage that a good team should take three points at home and one on the road. Well, let's switch that logic for this one. Nashville earned a hard-fought point at home against top-of-the-table FC Cincinnati Saturday at Nissan Stadium. There was no shame in that result, but it means the Boys in Gold need a win Wednesday to compensate.
One Burning Question for Nashville SC
How will the midfield look? Nashville's manager switched up his midfield formation against Cincy, sending Lebo Moloto wide to the right and tucking Matt LaGrassa into the center, a departure from his recent role on the flank.
Results were mixed. Moloto was extremely dynamic in the first half, clanking one shot off the post and getting unlucky on a point-blank header thanks to a brilliant save by the FCC keeper. The team adjusted as the match wore on, and Moloto's freelancing nature gave him a more central average position than LaGrassa's by the end of the contest. Here's the average position map, courtesy of the USL. Moloto is No. 10, of course, and LaGrassa No. 20.
How did each player perform in their slightly adjusted roles? Each created four chances, but Moloto's were more dangerous. He managed three first-half shots on target [and that's not even counting his 44th-minute ball off the woodwork], whereas LaGrassa's four shots all missed the mark. Moloto was more active in distribution [with 46 passes to Matt's 37] and negligibly more accurate [81.6 percent to 81.1].
Anecdotally, there were times when LaGrassa didn't look entirely comfortable. He lost eight of his 10 duels and was the victim of poor luck — on at least two occasions, he found himself wide open in dangerous spaces but teammates didn't see him or couldn't connect.
What does that mean for this weekend's match? Alan Winn has been effective enough to keep his role. We wonder if Taylor Washington will return in place of LaGrassa, with Moloto returning to his conventional central attacking midfield role.
Why it Matters for Charlotte
Because they've dropped points in their last seven matches, and things are about to get even tougher. Mike Jeffries' team ranked near the top of the USL when it met Nashville the first time. But including that Nashville loss, they're 4-6-5 since.
That said, they're still very good at home, where they've only lost once, way back in April. This is an opportunity for the Independence to break free of their struggles at the start of a brutal seven-match stretch that sees them face six teams currently in playoff position.
One Burning Question for Charlotte
Will Charlotte put the "D" back in "Independence?" The Men from the Tar Heel State have posted only three clean sheets all year and none in their last seven matches. Two of those shutouts came against a pair of the league's worst teams, Ottawa Fury and Toronto FC II. Charlotte has conceded the ninth-most goals in the league and surrendered multiple goals in its last three.
Oddly, those concessions haven't come against the league's best teams. Charlotte has allowed just five goals in four games against top-five sides. Against everyone else, they're conceding nearly twice per game.
Three Fun Things to Watch
- Adjustments in the rematch. Gary Smith is 3-1 in rematches this season [wins over Louisville, Pittsburgh and Penn FC; a loss to Indy]. Those second tilts all came against teams that took points from Nashville the first time around. This is Nashville's first rematch against a team it has previously beaten.
- Best attacking tandem in the league. Jorge Herrera can't be stopped. Neither can teammate Cordell Cato. The two have combined for 17 goals, more than any other duo in the USL — yes, even more than the 16-goal Ledesma-Konig pairing Nashville faced against Cincy. It held those two guys scoreless. Can it do the same against the best Charlotte has to offer? At least one of the tandem has scored in each of the last four games.
- Avoiding dirty laundry. If Matt Pickens notches his third straight clean sheet Wednesday, he'll have more USL shutouts this year [10] than he did all of last season in Tampa Bay. Not bad, considering Nashville hits the halfway mark after this match. And yes, that clean sheet mark leads the USL [in a tie with Pittsburgh keeper Daniel Lynd].
Starting XI
Changes? Yes. Lots of them? No.
Sure, Nashville only enjoyed three days off between matches. But the Boys in Gold also have next weekend off and won't play again for 10 days, so they can afford to drain a few players.
Goalie: Need you ask?
Defense: Kimura gets a breather. His 34-year-old legs aren't built to play multiple matches in a week, as dependable as he has been. Even though he notched an assist against Charlotte last time, we'll pick him to sit and Ryan James to rotate into the lineup. Smith told us recently that James is unfortunate not to see more playing time, and this is a good chance to slide him into the XI — even if it's on the right instead of the left, where he has usually started. We're guessing Woodberry will play center back in place of Bourgeois. No. 22 left after 52 minutes Saturday with what we're guessing is lingering knee soreness, and that spot is really a 1A vs. 1B situation anyway. If Bourgeois is healthy, put him at center back and move London to the right defensive wing.
Midfield: Winn has been far too good to sit. He tallied a goal and an assist against Atlanta United 2 and was unlucky not to score on a second-half header against Cincy. He completed 90 percent of his passes against FCC [86 percent in the opposing half], and Nashville needs him to continue his strong form. He'll take the field in the state where he played his college ball, but he'll invert from the right like he did against ATL2 instead of playing on the left as he did versus Cincy. He scored from that side of the pitch in the first meeting with Charlotte.
Taylor Washington gets the nod on the left side, where he started against ATL2 and connected successfully with teammates 86 percent of the time. Nine of the 11 times TW has started, he's lined up on the left. Reed and Akinyode are fixtures at this point — they've started all but three combined games all season.
Forward: This was our biggest dilemma. Brandon Allen has cemented his status as the starting striker, joining the XI for six of the team's last seven USL matches. But Saturday was only the second time he went the full 90. Smith has emphasized his desire to keep both Allen and Ropapa Mensah energized and included, and we think that philosophy — combined with Allen's tired legs — leads to the Ghanaian's inclusion in Wednesday's lineup. After all, Ropapa has scored every time he has faced a team from North Carolina. Okay, fine, that's just two times, but it's a fun stat. He'll get a chance to make it three Wednesday. Slot Moloto underneath him in an attacking-midfielder-ostensible-forward role.
Projected Reserves (our predicted subs in bold): CJ Cochran [back from his Fresno loan as of Monday], Bradley Bourgeois, Kosuke Kimura, Ish Jome, Matt LaGrassa, Tucker Hume, Brandon Allen
Final Score Prediction
Nashville has yet to score multiple goals in a road match, and they've won just twice in their eight games away from home [granted, six of those road contests came against teams in playoff position]. Like many teams, there's a marked difference in mentality when this team goes on the road, and we foresee a cautious approach marked by a half-dozen key moments.
One of those moments will see Alan Winn sneak past the Charlotte back line and score a second-half winner.

Two Indian-Americans in important positions differ radically on the new Republican healthcare bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives May 4.
Seema Mehra, Trump's administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, praised the GOP bill, even as Democratic Congressman Ami Bera, of California, one of the 10 physicians, 8 of them Republicans, in the U.S. House,, lashed out at it warning millions might lose healthcare. The GOP bill passed by a slim margin of 4 votes. An Indian-American physicians body however, has taken a middle path, calling for changes to Obamacare.
Bera said the American Health Care Act, that expects to keep President Trump's top campaign promise to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, leaves "millions of hardworking Americans "worrying about whether they will be able to stay on their health care plans. It also eliminates protections for pre-existing conditions, he said. Bera practiced internal medicine, served as Sacramento County's Chief Medical Officer, and taught at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine, before he was elected to Congress.
"I don't want to go back to a time when my patients would have to make health care decisions based on their insurance coverage, and this bill is going to make it a lot harder for people with treatable diseases like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and survivors of cancer and assault to get health care," he said in a statement after the House passed the bill 2.
"We cannot play politics with people's lives, and what happened today put political goals ahead of the lives of hardworking Americans.," Bera said. All four Indian-American lawmakers on Capitol Hill voted against the Republican bill.
Meanwhile, Mehra, a 20-year veteran in the healthcare industry, called it a "historic" day as the country moves "toward patient-centered healthcare instead of government-centered healthcare."
"I have worked in the field of Medicaid for 20 years and have heard from many mothers like myself who have shared their struggles and their hopes for a more affordable, more sustainable healthcare system," Mehra said in a statement May 4 after the passing of the bill in the House. "It is important that our most vulnerable citizens, the aged, the infirm, the blind and the disabled have more choices, greater access and peace of mind when it comes to their healthcare," she added.
"The bill that was passed today is a great first step achieving this goal," Mehra claimed.
The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin however, has taken a measured stand calling on Congress to "Amend not end" the existing system under Obamacare. The AAPI, during its Legislative Day May 3, on Capitol Hill, urged lawmakers to increase the number of residency slots, foreseeing a shortage of doctors in the future; reforming the Stark law relating to physician referrals for Medicare and Medicaid patients; and allowing the selling of insurance across state lines.
Meanwhile, the nation's premier medical body, the American Medical Association, strongly opposed the bill saying if it were to become law, "millions of Americans would lose health insurance coverage, and the safety net provided by Medicaid would be severely eroded." It also criticized "Last-minute changes" to the bill allowing states to apply for waivers from critical consumer protections under current law and providing additional funding for high-risk pools and reinsurance mechanisms, saying those changes "failed to remedy the fundamental flaws of the bill." Six other specialty medical associations also issued a statement against the bill.

Speaking of IDW, did you ever review the 2 panel Fred Hembeck comic from the IDWords column? It would have been around TMNT #7. I was reading a friend's Star Trek #6 and came across it just now.

Apparently Dario is lending his talents to the new Scooby-Doo-Batman&Robin team up book this month! I guess that's somewhat historic, but let's hope it doesn't distract him too much from his future Turtles contributions!

@The Z-Man
Oh yeah, there were a bunch of Bah Hembeck strips for a while, but only 1 was TMNT related. I covered in in my Donatello Micro-Series review:

"Heh heh. "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles". You Europeans must be in stitches, right now (if, um, you got this comic distributed on your continent… which you don't)."
As a matter of fact, we do, courtesy of the Internet and several well-stocked comic shops. But I think this pun is something the European distributors of the Fred Wolf cartoon series so richly deserve.

Anger, No, It's Rage—Bitterness—Resentment— Distrust—Disappointment—Levels Of Frustration Rarely Seen In Human History—Melancholy—Gloomy—Despair—Fear—Pained—Sterile—Desperate—Pessimistic—Despondent—Unpromising—Unrealistic Expectations. These Dark Words speak about our current social, political and moral culture.
In my writing, teaching and preaching, I have found myself using the word Culture. I feel the need to define this word in the way I use it. I could use big words to define Culture, but Here's the short form: Culture Is The Attitudes, Values And Morals Shared By People In A Particular Place And Time. Makes sense, right?
What we see in the news on a daily basis—how politicians are acting in Washington D.C. and Montgomery—how the value system has broken down—reveals a culture that's twisted and inept at solving the many problems we have. And we see the same Culture in our own Tribe. And it got me to thinking:
The new series is How To Change Our Culture. It takes real Spirit-filled, Spirit led-people to move forward in the way that will radically transform the Culture of our nation and church.
Unfortunately, many believe that neither our Culture nor our Tribe could ever change. And the results, well, they are unhealthy and even devastating. So for the next few weeks I want us to look at the story of one of the most unlikeliest of heroes of Changing The Culture—Gideon.
His story is another one of those great lessons from the Bible about God changing the Culture Of One Man And A Whole Nation. His story begins in Judges 6:1-16 (NLT)
The Israelites did evil in the Lord's sight. So the Lord handed them over to the Midianites for seven years. The Midianites were so cruel that the Israelites made hiding places for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds. Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, marauders from Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east would attack Israel, camping in the land and destroying crops as far away as Gaza. They left the Israelites with nothing to eat, taking all the sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. These enemy hordes, coming with their livestock and tents, were as thick as locusts; they arrived on droves of camels too numerous to count. And they stayed until the land was stripped bare. So Israel was reduced to starvation by the Midianites. Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help. When they cried out to the Lord because of Midian, the Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites He said, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of slavery in Egypt. I rescued you from the Egyptians and from all who oppressed you. I drove out your enemies and gave you their land. I told you, 'I am the Lord your God. You must not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you now live.' But you have not listened to me." Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, "Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!" "Sir," Gideon replied, "if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn't they say, 'The Lord brought us up out of Egypt?' But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites." Then the Lord turned to him and said, "Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!" "But Lord," Gideon replied, "how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!" The Lord said to him, "I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man."
We find Gideon threshing wheat at the bottom of a wine press. In ancient times they did not use vats or barrels to make wine. They would find a fairly large rock formation and chisel out 2 pits. One of them would be lower and deeper than the other so that the juice from the grapes would flow down. It was probably 3 feet, maybe more below the ground.
But Gideon isn't making wine. He's threshing wheat in the lower pit. Why the lower pit? So that he couldn't be seen. He was scared to death of the Midianites. They were the local neighborhood bullies. He's hiding, hoping they won't see him. But get this: his name means Destroyer, Mighty Warrior, Mighty Hero! This mighty warrior is cowardly hiding from the bullies. When suddenly an unexpected visitor shows up and calls him by the meaning of his name: Mighty Hero.
Excuse me, but does anyone other than me see the irony here? Called a Mighty Hero while he's hiding from the local bullies. I mean, the words and the man do not even come close. They are not in the same zip code, not in the same county, not in the same state, not in the same country. They're not even in the same universe.
But there is more going on here than just what meets the eye. There is more going on than bullies and cowards. God has a purpose and a mission, and His plan surprises Gideon and even me.
Here is where real Culture Change begins, and where our lives can turn around Here's the first thing you need to see:
1. God Is With Him!
But where was Gideon spiritually? If you listened carefully, he told you where he was spiritually. "Lord, if you were with us, why are we being bullied by the Midianites?"
You know what Gideon's talking about don't you? If you've ever wondered, "Why is all this happening to me now?", under our breath we are thinking, "Well, God, if you really were with me then all this bad stuff wouldn't have happened to me!"
I know what this feels like. It feels like God have forgotten us or been too busy for us; or simply that we aren't worthy of God's presence. When you're hiding in the pit, when the bullies are threatening you, when it seems like God has forgotten you—He Hasn't. Every single thing you go through, God is with you. He knows every ache and sees every tear and feels every fear because He is with you. Now we come to the next thing you need to see:
2. God Has Chosen Him For A God-Sized Task.
God chose Gideon for the task of changing his Culture. How would God change Gideon's Culture? By saving and redeeming them. God has seen them and heard their cries. Even though they were not faithful to God and were worshipping other gods, God knew what Gideon's world needed. And He Calls On Gideon To Change His World. And how does Gideon respond? "Great, God. 'Bout time! Let's get to work!"
No! Gideon's response was, "You gotta be kidding! My family is the weakest and I'm the least in the whole family. Gideon was of the tribe of Manasseh, which was the largest tribe of all. Many of Gideon's ancestors fought alongside Joshua with strength, honor and courage. You know what he's doing, don't you? He's making excuses!
He's saying, "Look, Lord. There are people far more qualified that I am. There are braver people than me." If Gideon was right, then where were they? According to verse 2 they were hiding in the mountain crevices and caves. But when Gideon says this, it shows that God made the right choice. For a God sized task, we need someone who knows that they can't do it by themselves. Which leads us to our final lesson today:
3. He Can Count On God To Be With Him Every Step Of The Way.
Look at verse 16: The Lord said to him, "I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man." This is the first good news Gideon has heard in a very long time. God promises Gideon that it will seem like he is fighting against only one man.
How could it feel like that? Because God is going to fight for him. He's With Him In The Pit, And He Will Be With Him In The Battle! Yes, God meets us in our pits but He doesn't leave us there!
He wants to lead us out of our pits and into the Kingdom Battle. But God doesn't leave us alone on the battlefield. He is still with us and He Is Fighting For Us! Think back to the Hebrew children at the edge of the Red Sea, when God said in Exodus 14:14—"The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."
God wants someone who cannot do what He wants unless they are counting on His presence and power. God chose Gideon, not because he was the smartest and the strongest; because, simple truth is, he wasn't.
Had Gideon felt like he was smart enough and strong enough to change his culture, he would have failed. God could change Gideon's world through Gideon because of his weakness. God loves to hear us say, "Hey, I can't do that! I don't have what it takes!" Doubt that this principle of God needing the weakest really works? Have you ever read the Bible? Studied the history of the church?
The U.S. Marines have a great motto for a fighting group: The Few, The Proud, The Marines. And in their ads they asked, "Do you have what it takes?"
God isn't looking for the few, the proud and those who think they have what it takes. He's Looking For The Many, The Humble, And The Weakest. You can only be your strongest when you become just like Gideon—and say to God, "This is too much for me. I need your strength."
Our culture around us needs to be changed. Countless lives are hiding in fear and living in caves. God wants to bring them out and deliver them. But he needs a Gideon, someone who is too afraid to do it alone, too afraid to seek the glory, too afraid to trust anything other than this promise of God: I am with you! Are you willing to be the next Gideon?
And the One Thing You Need To Remember Is A Question, Which Is Why I Saved It Until The End—"Will You Be The Next Gideon?"
Changing the Culture in Washington D.C.—that's a task that we simply cannot do—Yet! But you can change your Personal Culture. I'm talking about your Attitudes, Values And Morals. It's how you see your personal situations and the situations we are facing as the Body of Christ. These are serious times. You choose your Personal Culture. Your Personal Culture isn't chosen for you by what happens in D.C. or in church meetings. It is Chosen BY you.
So Choose Your Next Step Very Carefully:
1. You Can Join In With All The Mess—Complain And Then Blame—And Complain Some More And Then Blame—And Complain Some More And Then Blame. OR
2. You Can Give Up And Hope Jesus Comes Back REAL Soon. OR
3. You Can Make The Choice To Be The Gideon Our Culture, Our Church Is Urgently Needing.
These are your only 3 choices—Join Up, Give Up or Step Up. Which will be YOUR next step? Gideon's choice about his personal culture changed everything for the nation.
"Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; He won't leave you." Deuteronomy 31:6 (The Message)

If your best friend is expecting a baby, you should probably start thinking about planning a baby shower. According to the baby shower etiquette, this type of event should be hosted by a close friend or co-worker, and not by the future mother or by her relatives, as it may seem like she is asking for gifts.
Once you have taken the decision to organize the event, the first question to ask is how to plan a baby shower. Planning a baby shower is not an easy task and there are many event agencies that could help you. However, if you want to plan the party by yourself, the easy steps presented in this guide will show you exactly how to plan a baby shower. We're sure you will throw a fabulous party that everyone will remember.
The baby showers are usually organized between the seventh and the eighth month of pregnancy. You should choose a day of the week that can be suitable for most of the guests, such as a Friday afternoon or a Saturday.
Once you decided the date, the next thing to decide is the time. Most baby showers are organized in the afternoon, but there is no precise rule. You are free to organize the baby shower in the morning or in the evening. The only thing you should do is to consider the needs of your guests and choose a moment when it could be easier for them to break free from their daily commitments.
As soon as the date and time are decided, you must think about a suitable location. The location will depend very much on the time and on the season. If you organize the party on a winter afternoon, a cozy tea salon might be a great choice. For a spring or summer brunch, an open-door baby shower held in a garden or on a beautiful terrace will definitely impress your guests.
If you want to enjoy the privacy of a home, you can either throw the baby shower at your home or talk to the mother and see if she agrees to host the party at her home. In this case, the party will be less formal, but prepare to deal with the after-party chaos and mess.
Once established the date, time, and location, you should decide who to invite to the baby shower. In this moment you should also decide if you want to throw a traditional baby shower, which would be a strictly feminine event, or allow the presence of men as well.
In the first case, you should pay attention to invite all the dearest friends of the mom-to-be and also relatives such as the mother, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, and close co-workers.
In the second case, in addition to all the people reminded earlier, you should also invite the future dad and the husbands of all of her friends and relatives.
The next step in planning a baby shower are the invitations. On the market there are available many invitation cards designed especially for baby showers, but you can also make them by yourself if you love handmade objects.
If you decide to create your own baby shower invitations, you will need good-quality paper, a pencil and a pair of scissors. Choose a suitable subject, such as a diaper, a baby bottle or a baby bodysuit and draw it on the paper. Cut the shape, decorate it as you wish then write the invitation on the other side, together with the address. If the party is formal, you should purchase or make traditional invitation cards and send them to the guests.
If you don't know what to write in the invitations, phrases such as "Let's celebrate together the arrival of…" are the best solution. Don't forget to mention the essential information such as date, time, place, and also indicate if there is a gift list available. Also, ask the guests to confirm their presence by a certain date.
As in the digital era everything is allowed, if you have a little time available, you could even send the invitations via email. In this case, use an editor to create a beautiful invitation and attach it to the emails you're going to send. However, avoid creating social events to invite people to join the party.
You should send the invitations at least one month before the baby shower. In this way, your guests will be able to organize their schedules and attend the party.
To avoid duplicate gifts and also to make sure that the expectant mother will receive truly useful objects, a gift list is more than necessary. For this step you should ask the help of the future mother, asking her to write down everything she might need.
The gift list for a baby shower can include quite anything, from baby care products to diapers, towels, baby clothes and accessories. However, all the things included in the list should have reasonable prices. You should avoid including the stroller or a baby car seat. These items are not only more expensive, but due to the wide range of models available, you might put your guests in difficulty.
Since the baby showers are very popular events, many stores even offer baby shower registries, similar to those used for the weddings. If you decide to use such service, you should choose a regular store with low-medium prices. Don't worry, if your guests will want to upgrade the level of the products they will do so on their own, but no one will feel the pressure of attending your baby shower.
Make sure all the guests know which is the selected shop by indicating it in the invitation. This is a great way to make sure the future mother will get all the necessary items avoiding duplicates or something that might not be useful.

Another important thing to decide for the success of the baby shower is the theme and the color of the party. When it comes to the colors, if you don't want to use the traditional light blue for boys or candy pink for girls, you could choose a navy blue or lilac. However, there are circumstances when you might not know the gender of the future baby. In this case, neutral colors such as yellow or light green can be excellent choices.
The usual themes for baby showers are nursery-style themes, including decorations such as baby bottles, diapers, rattles, pacifiers, and so on. However, you don't have to get stuck to this idea. There isn't a "right" theme for a baby shower. If the future mother is a fashionista, for example, you can opt for a glamorous theme with decorations such as heeled shoe cookies.
A great idea would also be to develop a theme inspired by the future mother's/parents' childhood. Or you could throw a retro party, celebrating with old cartoons and films. Anything you know that the future mom and the guests might enjoy is a good idea.

In addition to the theme, you should also think about the decorations such as balloons and other party objects. On the market there are available many types of garlands, wreaths, and tassels designed specifically for baby showers. You could also create balloon arcades.
Organizing a photo booth area is also a great idea. To do this, you must only place a white paper on a wall and create some funny props, such as baby bottles, rattles, hats, bows, pacifiers, etc. that will be used by your guests to take funny photos.
Pay attention to decorate the tables as well as the chairs accordingly. If the baby shower is informal, you will need at least two tables, one for the snacks and one for the gifts.
Creating an ad hoc corner for the gifts opening will avoid creating confusion during the baby shower. To create the corner you only need a table where the guests can put their gifts and a comfortable chair or armchair for the future mom.
If there are many participants to the party, you should ask each guest to write their name on the gift. In this way, it will be easier for the future mother to thank the right person.
If you decide to throw the baby shower at home you will also have to think about table decorations. The best thing to do is to plan a buffet. However, you will still need to purchase dishes, tablecloths, cutlery, glasses, straws, and napkins. You will be able to choose from a wide range of products designed specifically for this occasion, so you shouldn't have problems in finding the right decorations.
You can decorate the table in many ways, including the classic diaper cake and small gifts that will be added to the baby layette. A very scenic decoration can be achieved with "cupcakes" made from baby bodysuits, onesies or hats. You can either shop for these items or make them by yourself using large cupcake forms and pieces of clothing folded up to look like cupcakes.
In addition to all these items, food decorations should also be present. You can make delicious decorations with cupcakes and muffins arranged on trays, or large glasses and jars filled with gourmet chocolates or candies.
If you want to make the table look shabby and refined, you could also place some beautiful photo frames and jars with candles among the other items.

The best thing to do when it comes to food and drinks is to ask the help of a catering service. However, if you are passionate about cooking and have a good manual dexterity, nothing will stop you to prepare the treats by yourself.
In addition to the candy jars and cupcake trays used for the decoration of the table, you should also prepare some salted snacks, such as mini sandwiches or salted pastries such as mini quiches, stuffed croissants, finger food, popcorn and pretzels.
For the dessert buffet, you could also prepare some cake pops, which are delicious lollipops made from cake balls dipped in melted chocolate and covered with hazelnuts, coconut flakes or colored candies. For a super chic style, you could build a macarons pyramid, which is both beautiful to see and delicious.
As for the drinks, depending on the time, you could choose a fine collection of tea blends and herbal teas, fresh fruit juices and soft drink cocktails. Non-alcoholic champagne shouldn't miss and if men are allowed to the baby shower, you could also offer some wine.

What would be a baby shower without games? After all, the party will not be exclusively dedicated to pleasantries, small talk and gifts opening, but also to having fun. For this reason, the games are an important task to take care of when planning a baby shower.
The most classic games include the guessing of the circumference of the expectant mother belly, a race to changing diapers on a doll, guessing the various types of baby food, and so on. There are many baby shower games ideas, so depending on your preferences you should be able to choose the most appropriate ones.
If you have many guests, or if men are also invited, you should probably opt for more neutral games, such as bingo and word scramble games. If the theme of the baby shower is childhood, you could ask the guests to provide you with photos since they were children, hung all the photos on a rope, and ask your guests to guess to whom each photo belongs.
However, in our opinion, there are some games you should stay away from, even if they are popular. For instance, you shouldn't propose to your guests any games that have anything to do with baby poop or dirty diapers.
Regardless of the game selection, don't forget to prepare small prizes for the winners of each individual game. If the games proposed can have multiple winners, make sure to have sufficient prizes. Some ideas can be boxes with special tea blends, scented candles, gift coupons or lottery tickets. To make everything even more enhancing, you could even use some dedicated scratch-n-win tickets and ask the winners to scratch a ticket and see if they actually won the prize. In this way everyone will have even more fun.

At the end of the baby shower, it would be recommended for the mother to give small thank you gifts to all the participants as a sign of gratitude. These should be small objects that can be kept by the guests to remember the day spent together.
If you have chosen a special theme for the baby shower, you should match the thank you gifts to the theme. You could offer, for instance, small pots with flowers, plant seeds, vases, or anything else you think it is appropriate. No matter what the gift will be, the guests will definitely feel appreciated.
Now, that you know how to plan a baby shower, you should be able to organize a wonderful party for your best friend.
Don't forget to tell us how the party was. Or if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment and tell us everything about your concerns. We would love to hear your thoughts and give you more tips about planning a great event.
And remember, having fun while you're planning the party is an important element for the success of the baby shower!
