According to the report, there were 350,000 attack variants and more than 50,000 unique attacks in December 2012 alone, demonstrating the rapid increase in attacks, Cloudmark CTO Neil Cook said. He added that the industry is now seeing a 300% year-over-year growth.
Most of these threats are in the form of bulk marketing, especially in places like India and China, whereas in North America and Europe the attacks are more insidious, resulting in the loss of personal data. These attacks take the form of gift offers, iPad giveaways, and payment protection insurance (PPI) in the U.K.
Cook said that there was even an Android botnet attack, known as the SpamSoldier botnet. For more, watch the video embedded below.

Capping a chaotic end of the special legislative session, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said early Wednesday that proposed abortion restrictions didn't pass after all.
The abortion requirements were in Senate Bill 5, which was called up for a vote that couldn't be heard over shouting and screaming from opponents in the gallery. Sen. Dan Patrick, a Houston Republican pushing the legislation, had said the bill passed.
But Democrats disputed that, saying the action was taken after the required midnight end of the special session. Patrick had said the vote was started before midnight.
The vote was taken after a filibuster to try to kill it by Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, was abruptly ended when Dewhurst upheld objections that she hadn't strictly abided by filibuster rules, a disputed assessment.
Dewhurst's announcement that the bill failed came after 3 a.m., following a Senate caucus meeting.
"Regrettably, the constitutional time for the first called session of the 83rd Legislature has expired. Senate Bill 5 cannot be signed in the presence of the Senate at this time. Therefore, it cannot be enrolled," Dewhurst said.
He added, "It's been fun, but see ya soon."
Gov. Rick Perry can call another special session, but he had not said by Tuesday night whether he would.
Dewhurst's announcement was another twist in a wild ride of a day in which Davis' filibuster drew national attention as opponents of the bill swarmed in the Capitol and filled the gallery.
The opponents were generally calm during the debate, but when Davis' filibuster was forced to end and Patrick called for a vote on SB5, they erupted. Senators and Dewhurst couldn't be heard.
Dewhurst called the group "an unruly mob" using "Occupy Wall Street" tactics to kill a bill that he said was meant to protect lives and women's safety. He had previously suggested in a tweet that the bill was meant to essentially ban abortion.
Opponents celebrated. They said they were fighting the bill because they wanted to protect women's rights and preserve their access to safe, legal abortions.
SB5 would have banned abortion starting at 20 weeks in the pregnancy. It also would have imposed tighter restrictions on abortion clinics, forcing them to meet ambulatory surgical center standards, which opponents of the bill said would cause mass closure of the facilities. It would have required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges within 30 miles, and it would have set out new regulations for administering abortion-inducing drugs.
Moments after Dewhurst declared that the proposal did not pass, a group of Senate Democrats took to the Capitol rotunda to celebrate with pro-choice advocates.
"Senate bill 5 be dead," said Sen. Kirk Watson, of Austin, who heads the Senate Democratic Caucus, flanked by TV cameras and about 100 folks wearing burnt-orange t-shirts. "Your voices were heard."

Zero to Five: A Book Review and Giveaway
I received a review copy of a really cool book over the summer: Zero to Five: 70 Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science (and What I've Learned So Far) by Tracy Cutchlow. I loved the book and wanted to review it on my blog, and the publisher offered to give away 5 copies to Science of Mom readers! (If you're curious about my policy on reviews and giveaways, check my About Me page.)
Zero to Five is a book of parenting advice starting with pregnancy and going up through age 5. Author Tracy Cutchlow is a former journalist at the Seattle Times and edited John Medina's books Brain Rules and Brain Rules for Baby. Then she had a daughter, now 2, and was inspired to create a book that would bring together relevant, evidence-based parenting advice into an enjoyable and accessible format. I'd say she succeeded.
Each of the 70 parenting tips are explained in 2-4 page spreads summarizing the research in the area and accompanied by gorgeous candid photographs of children and parents. The tips are practical, and they're explained simply, but they're rooted in science.
The book is divided into 9 topics headings, listed below with examples of some of my favorite tips in parentheses:
- Prepare (Bolster your friendships; Expect conflict as a couple)
- Love (Create a feeling of safety; Comfort newborn with the familiar)
- Talk (Talk to your baby a ton; Read together; Teach sign language)
- Sleep, eat, and potty (Guard your sleep; Guard baby's sleep, too; Let baby decide how much to eat)
- Play (Let baby touch that; Save the box; Make music with baby)
- Connect (Choose empathy first; Allow mistakes, discomfort, boredom)
- Discipline (Be firm but warm; Label intense emotions; Teach instead of punish)
- Move (Rock, jiggle, and swing; Keep moving)
- Slow down (Be still; Don't bother to compare)
Some of these tips are obvious, like talking to your baby. But they're also really important, and that's one of the things I love about this book. I think Tracy did a great job of focusing the book's content on what is really important about how to care for babies and children. And some of these tips are things that I didn't know or wouldn't have thought about when I was newly pregnant, preparing to give birth to Cee. I was busy acquiring what I thought was essential baby gear (how many hours did I waste on Craigslist?), taking birthing classes, and ticking tasks off my to-do list. The advice to "bolster your friendships" (because you'll need support) and to "expect conflict as a couple" (it happens to everyone) might have been very helpful in preparing to be a new mom, but nobody told me these things.
There are a few other things that I love about this book. I love that it is evidence-based. The book doesn't include citations, and I know that some of my readers will miss that. But on the topics where I know the research really well, I can tell that Tracy stayed true to the science. I love that it emphasizes authoritative, respectful, and gentle parenting (again, supported by science) and provides some good examples from Tracy's own experiences with parenthood. I also love how easy it is to flip through the book and just read one or two pages at a time, taking away a clear and simple message to try to implement as a parent.
One of the best and most unique things about this book is the photographs, taken by Betty Udesen. The photos are simply gorgeous. Now, I wouldn't head to the bookstore thinking that I really needed a new parenting book with awesome photos, and the text of this book would make it great on its own. But the photos really add something special. They're of real families who agreed to let the photographer into their lives to capture their everyday moments, and they feel very intimate. They aren't generic stock photos. They each tell a story, and if you're a parent, you recognize the chaos, mess, and beauty of your own life in these photos. The photos make the book a true pleasure to pick up and flip through, and your kids will enjoy looking at them too!
I'm really happy to recommend Zero to Five to all parents. It would make a fabulous baby shower gift, but I think it will still feel relevant even if your babies are a little older. I'm finding the baby sections to be good review in preparing for our second baby, and today I flipped through the pages on discipline again after Cee threw a tantrum that stretched me thin.
OK, so onto the giveaway. The publisher of Zero to Five, Pear Press, has offered to give 5 copies of the book to Science of Mom readers. Enter the giveaway by leaving a comment below with one of your own favorite parenting tips – from pregnancy on up. What wise advice do you give to new parents or do you wish you'd received as a parent-to-be?
One entry per person, please, and unfortunately, we can only ship to addresses within the U.S. I'll close the giveaway in a week – next Monday (9/29/14) at 9 AM EST – and choose 5 winners at random. (I always use a random number generator to pick from the ordered comments.)

If I could go back in time and give myself advice whilst I was pregnant: "Stop focusing on the pregnancy, birth and newborn stages. Read about babies and toddlers, discuss parenting with your partner. You'll have zero time once baby is here." Favorite advice that I've taken from others: "Stop looking at the clock and worrying about timetables and goals – just do what feels right for you and baby".

Wow I think, giveaway or not, I need to get a copy of this! Great review by the way…I'm left really wanting to page through the book and check it all out.
Parenting tip…hmm. I think, more than anything, I tell myself and new parents to always remember that your child is who they are…a good sleeper or not, outgoing or cautious, etc etc because that is who they are, not because of your shortcomings or successes alone. Don't take too much credit, or too much blame(!), and just let them be who they are, and always, always expect change. It's the only constant!

This looks like a fantastic book. Hmm, tips…When I was pregnant, I found the phrase "we are in this together" (meaning, mom and baby), very comforting. It's a good reminder as my son has grown into a toddler and we are trying to emphasize that we are a team and we need to work together.

I don't know if I can wait a whole week to see if I win one of these copies! I might have to buy one just to get my hands on it before then!
The very best piece of parenting advice that I got while pregnant came from a pediatrician we were thinking about using. I was in the final weeks of my pregnancy and I asked her what advice she'd give a soon to be new mother and she said 'learn everything you can about infant sleep.' Being the nerdy nerd that I am…I did. I read (or at least scanned) the books by major sleep experts, read blogs (including this one) and talked to parent friends, and in so doing, I felt at least somewhat prepared to take some key steps from the get go that helped establish good sleep habits. This was key for me because a lot of what might seem intuitive about infant sleep is actually the opposite of what typically works. For example, I often had to resist the urge to keep him up longer in order to get him to sleep longer. It seems logical to do so, but in reality, the more babies sleep, the more they WILL sleep. I quickly found that when I stuck to the tried and true advice of sleep experts, my whole family benefitted. SCIENCE!

Love the look of this! What would be my favorite tip- probably that all temperament traits in children are relative to our perspective or situational- a strong willed toddler who tests our patience will be a teen less likely to succumb to peer pressure. A child with a ton of energy can have a hard time sitting still in class but is a strong asset on the soccer field. Get to know your child, viewing all the traits that make them unique, through the complex lens of variation.

Related to introducing new foods, we follow the "try everything 10 times before it's clear that you absolutely don't like it" theory. We offer our almost-3-year old something 10 times, allow her to declare "I don't like it", and accept that with no drama. But we offer her the option "maybe you'll like it next time". The next time it's on her plate she may or may not choose to like it but after a few times she usually is in the mood that she'll try it and even like it. She's an adventurous eater and we think this policy has allowed her to explore foods at her own pace.

My baby is only 5 months old so I am still a VERY NEW mom but I would say my favorite piece of advice has been enjoy it because it goes fast. You hear that all the time but in these short 5 months, despite all the up's and down's, I truly feel how quickly the time goes. While it's fun to "look forward to when (she rolls, walks, talks)" remind yourself to enjoy the now because before you know it, it'll be gone.

It's more than okay to make time for yourself every day, whether that is taking a shower without interruptions, reading a good book, going for a walk, etc. It will likely require asking someone for help–don't assume your partner/friends/family members can read your mind–but will be worth it.

Oh this looks like a wonderful read. My advice that I give lots of parents is create a routine/rhythm that works for your family and stick to it. Children cannot read a clock so as long as the routine/rhythm stays the same the actual time isn't all that important. Also remember to breath and drink water.

Oh gosh – one idea I keep coming back to is from a sleep book I read. It was talking about sleep, but I think it applies to lots of things. I'm paraphrasing: "We can't *make* a baby sleep (or eat, or poop, or stop crying), we can only do our very best to create the best environment for them to do so, but the rest is up to them." This is my mantra when my daughter seemingly isn't eating anything, or is inconsolable. It's my job to keep offering food and love and compassion, and that is enough.

I want new parents to know that parenting is going to make them a better (more patient, more generous, stronger) person, but that it can be a very, very painful process getting there! On a more specific & practical note, I have been telling every single new parent I know to read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child." I had a terrible time with my first – now 3 years old – who wouldn't nap except in my arms and didn't sleep through the night until she was maybe a year old! My mind was blown when I learned that newborns should be up for 1-2 hours between naps (does everyone else just figure that out on their own???) and I realized my girlie was probably overtired (and thus unable to sleep properly) for the whole first year of her life! I studied hard before #2 came along; she's now almost five months old and her sleep habits are absolutely heavenly!

My advice is to plan ahead. Listen to other people's stories, read a variety of books, and try to figure out all the possibilities, and then plan for each. Then when your body or baby does something, you're at least kind of prepared to handle it. For example, I planned for a natural birth but ended up having a c section, which I wasn't prepared for. I think it would have been a better experience had I at least thought about it a little bit beforehand.

Even as a new parent, you know your child better than anyone. If you think something is wrong with your child, if they're sick, hurt or whatever it may be. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion. When my son was three weeks old, my husband tripped and fell with our son. We took him to our local emergency room and they asked us many questions. He didn't have any signs of a concussion, so they just sent is home, but my gut told me something was wrong. The next morning I took him to his pediatrician. He ended up having a skull fracture and a small bleed on his brain. In the end, thank God he was ok, but this was definitely a scary learning experience for us as new parents! Trust your instincts!

My favorite sanity-saver came from my husband when our son was very young and I was desperate for more sleep. I read SOOOO many books on infant sleep, and whenever I would do exactly what the book said and not get the desired / promised outcome, I would lament to my husband, "But the BOOK says…!!!" Finally he said to me, "Is that book titled 'The Definitive Guide to [our son's name]'?" Of course it wasn't. His point was, you can read all the books you want, but realize that while they are general guides (and often very good ones!), they are not 100% guaranteed solutions for your individual child. If he had his way ALL baby books would be burned (except the one you're giving away, of course!)

This book looks like a wonderful and easy-to-use tool for all new parents! I received some very helpful advice on sleep, and it actually comes in handy in a variety of situations: "I love you too much to …" not let you sleep, let you do (something dangerous), etc. It's a helpful phrase, even if just spoken internally while taking action. Even though I'm trained in Montessori education at the "assistants to infancy" and "primary" levels, I have found myself in great need of practical, everyday advice, particularly in the early days of caring for my son.

Something I've realised I need to work on is to try not to need to give labels to, or describe in a definitive way, everything my young baby currently is, or currently does . For example "She likes to be bathed in the morning ", "she doesn't like being held by people she doesn't know", "She only sleeps in the buggy for naps" this doesn't help me look out for or support changes.

I wish I'd spent time reading about parenting rather than only focusing on pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.

Ask for help early and often. Struggling with breast feeding? Don't try to push through. Ask for help. Struggling with postpartum recovery? Don't assume the overwhelming pain, fatigue and frustration is normal. Ask for help. Sleep deprived? Ask for help. There's too much pressure for new parents, and specially new moms, to do it all. It's not realistic and it's not healthy for you and your baby.

The thing I wish to knew before our son was born: how much it is going to change me, my husband and our relationship. Our relationship went through very rough patch after our son was born. I would have never thought that we could fight this hard and say such awful things to each other. I wish I knew that this is not unusual. One of the biggest wisdom, I discovered, is "always apologize first". Even if your partner started the fight, or when you think that you are right, there is always something to apologize for. It will help to diffuse the fight.
Parenting advice: Keep in mind that every stage you and your newborn/toddler/child are going through is temporary and it will pass. Do not forget it when times are hard. Just be patient.

Lots of great advice here – could be a book on it's own! 🙂 I'm looking forward to reading the new book, and funny enough my Mommy Book Club tonight was just commenting about how we want to read a book filled with strategies that is parent-approved, and backed by many levels of research, so this might just be it!
My parenting advice: it is important (and essential) to have a daily routine for your child(ren), but equally as important to remember that its okay to stray from it every once in awhile; children need to learn to be flexible and will react better to changes in their daily life if they are given opportunities to cope with a disturbance in their routine. It's a good lesson to teach your children for life – sometimes things don't go quite as you expect (especially when parenting), so try to be resilient, proceed with a different plan than you might have anticipated, and embrace the new situation you are in.

My favorite piece of advice is to not beat yourself up about not matching up to the ideal vision (your own or anyone else's!) of what a mother should be. be forgiving of yourself, and accept that you will not be everything that you hope or expect, and can only do your best.

Now that I'm onto my second child, the best advice I wish I'd understood with my first is to just relax and trust your instincts. With my first, I worried over everything. Is he sleeping "right?" Is he eating "right?" Is he doing everything the way he is supposed to? With my second, I find it much easier to trust my baby. He is doing everything as he should be doing it for him, whether or not he is following any parenting "rules."

My favorite piece of advice was, "sleep is a need and treat it like you would any other need." It was a good reminder that it's okay to say no to something if it will interrupt sleep. Our well-rested child is so much happier and healthier than when his sleep is interrupted.

We fly with our little one a LOT, and I often get asked for advice from friends fearful to take their kids on airplanes. I think the best advice for surviving airplane travel is to remember that everyone around you is a stranger, and to stop worrying about them. It's not your job to make their flight calm and relaxing, it's your job to make an uncomfortable, boring situation good for your kid. I do all sorts of ridiculous things for my 2 yr old: complex art projects, balloon animals, singing funny songs, reading, walking the aisles, and a lot of snacks. Basically, what I'd do at home if we were stuck in one room all day long, pretending no one else is around judging us (except I don't let him kick the seats or throw things at other people).

For me, mom of a two year old and a soon to be mom of a newborn, the most challenging issue was sleep. We started having major sleep issues with our son at 4-6 months. I would advise any soon-to-be parents to read several books on infant sleep before the baby arrives (before you are crazy tired). For us, the most helpful and structured one was Ferber's Solve your Child's Sleep Problems. We used this method and it was so incredibly dramatic that I wanted to shout about it from the rooftops. Also just to respect sleep as much as you would other necessities, like food. You wouldn't decide that today you are going to force your child to skip lunch, so why would you try and make them skip a nap? For us, the more regular the naptimes and bedtimes = the more rested and happy the kid.

So much good advice has been given! I guess I would add two pieces of advice:
1) Don't hold on so tightly to a parenting philosophy that you end up stressing yourself out if that particular philosophy or technique doesn't work with your child. Be open and flexible to new ideas if the ones you have don't work for you or your baby.
2) This is directed specifically to us Moms out there: Do not feel like you have to do everything yourself. Your baby/child will thrive with love and attention from your co-parent, your relatives and friends, and from teachers and other care givers. You will always be "Mom" but others can bring ideas and experiences to your child that you cannot. (And it is okay to have a break! No need to martyr yourself to parenthood. Make sacrifices? Yes. Martyr? No.)

This book sounds so great! I'd definitely like to check it out.
I definitely have to echo what a lot of other people here are saying. As a parent, you get so many pieces of advice from so many different directions; some wanted and some unwanted. I like to take in information and suggestions from many different sources and then sort through and decide which piece(s) sound like they might work best for my family and go from there. It's so hard to not always take your mother's or mother-in-law's advice, especially when it's coming from a helpful place and not a critical one. But every family is different and we all have to do what we believe is best for US. 🙂

There's so many great recommendations here that it is hard to think of something new to add! So I'll just say– talk to your kids. From the time they are tiny-tiny up until they won't listen to you anymore, and even past that. Tell stories, give explanations, ask questions, and just chat. The more words they hear when they are little, the better they can develop language– and the more words they hear from *you*, the better they connect with you– and they'll start chatting back. One thing I've LOVED from this blog is the "talk about your day" routine that you and C do before bed. We started doing that shortly after I read your post, and my two year old daughter loves it. It really helps us connect after a long day, especially when we've been apart. That was such good advice!

I have 3 key things I wish I'd known when my daughter was a newborn:
1. Let your baby express her feelings. Don't always try to shush her and bounce her when she cries. Think of times you have a bad day and what you need most is a good cry in the arms of an understanding person who loves you, and how much better you feel afterwards. Your baby is going through so much transition so often and so quickly that sometimes it's overwhelming. Crying in the arms of a loving parent is a great way for her to release stress (it's been proven to drop cortisol levels!). Once you've ruled out other needs or pain that you could relieve, just hold her, tell her you understand that she's having a hard time, and that you're always there for her when she needs to cry or tell someone about her hard day. Understanding crying in this way makes it so much easier to cope as a new parent – your baby's crying isn't a sign that you're failing her – you're holding her and helping her to express her feelings and relieve stress.
2. Live in the present! Try not to always be looking forward to the next stage – there are wonderful things about each stage, and each day with your little one. Try to focus on those and enjoy them.
If you look forward and back, you may anxiously await when your little one can crawl to get to what they want without crying for you, and then when she can crawl, you might wish for the days she would just stay in one place when you left the room and you didn't need to babyproof everything. Or you look forward to when your baby can fall asleep herself, and then you long for the days when she would sleep on you. It all changes so fast – find things to appreciate every day.
3. Take time to just observe your baby, see what she can do on her own before rushing in to "help" or "teach." Don't interrupt her thinking & problem solving if you don't have to. You'll be amazed at what she can do on her own, what makes her happy, and how creative she can be. There's nothing like seeing the pride and happiness on the face of a little one that figured something out all by themselves, and that wasn't pushed to figure it out by anyone. I try to remind myself of the quote by Jean Piaget: "When you teach a child something, you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself."

Advice is all relative; what works for you depends on your personality (and your kid's). For me, one of the hardest things has been to advocate for my baby and defend my parenting choices against my in-laws' (loving) "help". For someone who doesn't struggle with backbone issues, I'd say, "Be reasonable." People just want to help. Anyway, a sip of juice from grandma probably won't kill them, as much as we'd like to avoid it.

Lots of great advise here! My two cents is to remember to rest. We live in a busy world, and often we mistake getting things done for being accomplished and successful. Ultimately, it is about balance, and knowing when you are tired and giving yourself time to rest will help your children learn to do the same. Self care is important. Our kids learn by what they see. Be kind to yourself and take time to rest.

Two things for the newborn-shellshocked: 1) expect complicated, unexpected, and not always pleasant emotions. They're normal! If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't keep it to yourself. 2) get outside, even if it's just a walk around the block, even if it's just 10 minutes in the dark, frigid dead of winter. Having a daily "mission," even if it was a walk to the bakery to buy a loaf of bread, cleared my head and did wonders for my mood.

I love your blog and I love the advice everyone is giving here! I'm not the type of person who has to keep busy or be productive all the time, but I still find myself trying to remember to take time, be in the moment, and let go. In the age of the Internet (with blogs, Pinterest, Facebook, etc.), I remind myself that we don't always need to be going out somewhere, taking baby/toddler classes, or making things. There's no need to take hundreds of pictures of my children doing things because that can sometimes mean missing out on experiencing it with them. And the 20 minutes that my toddler is taking to go up the stairs in our building while pointing out all the nails he sees in the woodwork — I can embrace that as a nice little break to catch my breath and enjoy the architectural details. 🙂

(I left my hectic job to be a full time primary care giver, leaving me self conscious and thinking I needed to be the "perfect" attachment mom which didn't work so much for the particular child I'd birthed and I kept thinking if I waited/tried harder/was better she would calm down/sleep more/learn stuff quicker…notsomuch…)
Cut yourself some slack. You may have this new "job" but you aren't being evaluated by anyone so don't try to think of it as something that can be "perfected". Just handle one situation at a time in a way that makes sense to you and your child and your unique relationships with one another. Nobody else has had YOUR child in YOUR house within YOUR family so don't think what someone else is doing is THE thing to do. Maybe you need to do it differently and thats ok. Try, wait, evaluate, change, try something else…you aren't going to "win" parenting.

I always wish that someone had told me that most of the time I'd love my baby, but there would be times that I'd absolutely abhor him. So many people speak of parenthood as though it's all roses and rainbows, but very few people share about those dark moments when you feel like you'd do anything to escape. Although they were infrequent, I felt so isolated at those moments and desperately wished I had someone there to tell me that I wasn't a total monster – I was just a new mom, adjusting to life with a crazy, screaming, needy baby while dealing with crazy hormones.

And one other thing:
Every baby is different. Seriously. You may end up with a baby who's never flustered (like my daughter) or you may end up with a super sensitive soul (like her older brother). When you get well-meaning advice from friends, family, or strangers, do your best to remember that they're speaking from a place of understanding they developed from getting to know THEIR babies. You must make decisions based on what you know about YOUR baby.
And don't feel bad about it!

If my youngest wants tears apart something in the house, yet again, I take a deep breath and wait a few seconds. It's really helped me not go into temper-rampage mode and reminds me that in just a few moments a new adventure will come and that the present moment is an opportunity to focus and enjoy.

Hi Science Mom. I really can't give parenting advice just yet as I won't be a Mom for another few weeks (my wife is pregnant.) I can give pregnancy advice though. We tried for 4 years to get pregnant with 4 miscarriages in the process. The advice I can give is this: Be willing to make changes. My wife was a vegan when we first started. She read a lot about pregnancy and protein and dairy and started eating meat, eggs and dairy. She did acupuncture, essential oils, changing donors, abdominal massages and doing the IUI twice in one cycle. I can't tell you which one worked or if all did but, the openness she had to change was amazing and we are now at 37 weeks and 3 days! PS – as new parents, we could sure use this book 🙂

7 Easy Furniture Facelifts
Nailhead glamour
Luxe up a dresser, headboard or any wood furnishing that needs a touch of flash by adding jewellike nailheads. Our focal-point buffet started as a bargain chinoiserie with flat door fronts -- perfect for applying ornamentation.Pick a base color that shows off the design, like a semigloss white. Instead of drilling and hammering nailheads, which can be a pain, find a faux alternative. Glue on silver-spray-painted round wood plugs or three-dimensional silver nailhead stickers available at some scrapbooking stores."You can be very tame with the design and just outline the edges, or have fun and create a diamond pattern or stripes, or do one big monogram," suggests Chicago interior designer Michelle Williams. Click below for the pattern we used.

Painted florals
Bold flowers turn solid-color upholstered furniture (or slipcovers) into conversation starters, especially when you're the artist. We used stencils and acrylic paint mixed with textile medium to update our bergere chair.For best results: Decide flower placement first, balance sizes and colors, and practice on scrap fabric. Attach stencils, one at a time, with stencil spray adhesive. Paint from the outside of the stencil in with a small foam roller to achieve a thin layer. Use a stencil brush for details. Paint the frame a coordinating color.Chair resources Paint: (On frame) Nomadic Desert, No. 6107 in Gloss; Sherwin-Williams.

Glossy appliques
Wood appliques or medallions add easy style to a smooth-front former nightstand.Make traditional motifs look fresh with glossy paint in vibrant color combinations, such as yellow and gray. We snagged the scrollwork wood pieces at a home improvement store for about $5 each. Attach with small nails or glue; touch up with paint. New knobs finish this chic transformation.Side table resources Appliques: (Large) EverTrue Raw Whitewood Ornament, No. 33806; (Small) EverTrue Raw Whitewood Ornament, No. 34163; Lowe's.

Stenciled inlay effect
New furniture with wood or metallic inlays can be pricey. Create an inexpensive inlay effect on a tabletop or cabinet door front with a stencil and high-gloss or metallic paint.The bold basket weave on this secondhand table looks sophisticated in basic black and white. Or try sunbursts, repeated triangles, vines, florals or damasks in subdued color combos. Protect with a polyurethane finish or a glass top.Dining table resources Paint: (Base color) Inkwell, No. 6992 in Gloss; (Stencil color) Snowbound, No. 7004 in Gloss; Sherwin-Williams. Stencil: Camel Bone Weave Small, No. 3000S; Royal Design Studio.Sherwin-WilliamsRoyal Design Studio
Two-tone finish
One paint color refreshes any furniture piece, but two colors offer twice the style for little extra cost. We coated a bowfront dresser's frame with a glossy midnight blue finish, and painted the drawers a contrasting semigloss white."We have been designing a lot of two-tone pieces of furniture lately," says Matt Harris, an Indianapolis designer. He likes to pair a basic painted frame with exotic wood on the doors or drawer fronts. To achieve that two-tone look, apply our faux wood-grain treatment (next slide) to just the drawers.Dresser resources Paint: (Frame) Twilight Blue, No. 2067-30 in Gloss; Benjamin Moore. (Drawers) Snowbound, No. 7004 in Semigloss; Sherwin-Williams.Benjamin MooreSherwin-Williams
Exaggerated wood grain
Mimic an emphasized wood grain, such as our faux limed-wood finish, with an easy paint technique.Start with a white base coat. When dry, add black in sections with a painting sponge. Drag a wood-graining tool ($3-$8) along the fresh paint to expose the white underneath.Accent table resources Paint: (Base) Snowbound, No. 7004 in Semigloss; (Top) Tricorn Black, No. 6258 in Gloss; Sherwin-Williams.Sherwin-Williams
Metallic scrollwork top
Scrolled vine or flower stencils add romance to a mirror-topped side table.Remove the mirror top (or protect with painter's tape). Paint the frame a metallic silver finish or high-gloss gray for a silvery effect. Determine stencil placement on the mirror, and temporarily secure with stencil spray adhesive. Apply silver enamel paint with a stencil brush, stippling gently until the design is covered. To extend the scrollwork, reposition the stencil so that it connects to the existing design. Let the paint cure for 21 days, or bake according to instructions on enamel paint container.Table resources Paint: (On frame) Passive, No. 7064 in Gloss; Sherwin-Williams.

Flexible Fitness: You CAN improve your balance
Now that spring is officially here, it's time to start thinking about enjoying more of the great outdoors. Picture yourself walking across the uneven lawn while you visit with a friend and carry your lunch to the picnic table. Are you confident in your balance? Does your fear of falling limit your social interactions? If so, it is important to know that this is not a normal part of aging and you can improve your balance.
Just about everything you do in your daily life, whether for work or leisure requires balance control, and most of the time you don't have to think about it. The ability to maintain balance is a complex process that depends on three major components: (1) your sensory systems for accurate information about your body's position relative to your environment; (2) your brain's ability to process this information; and (3) your muscles and joints for coordinating the movements required to maintain balance.
The sensory systems include your sense of touch (feet, ankles, joints), your vision and your inner ear motion sensors. For example, our feet and joints tell us if the surface we are standing on is uneven or moving, such as when riding an escalator. We rely on our eyes to tell us our body position relative to the world around us. And our inner ears tell us if we are upright, leaning, standing still or moving.
Your brain controls balance by using the information that is most important for a particular situation. For example, at night, when it's dark and the information from your eyes is reduced, your brain will use more information from your legs and your inner ear. Many people rely heavily on their vision for balance and the other systems get out of practice. This might explain why you need to hold onto furniture and slow down when getting up in the middle of the night. Another example is when you are walking on a sandy beach or walking up a ramp during the day, the information coming from your legs and feet will be less reliable and your brain will use information from your vision and inner ear more.
Balance is a complex coordination of all of these systems in the body. Injury to one or more of these systems may cause you to lose your balance or stumble. The good news is that research supports the use of specific exercises to retrain your balance. Common exercises that may help improve balance are walking and practicing getting up from a chair. Before trying any new exercises, speak to your physician.
By understanding which systems are impaired, you can engage in exercises to build confidence, reduce fear of falling and minimize falls. If you or someone you know is having balance problems or falls, it is important to make an appointment with your physician as there are many medical factors that can contribute to poor balance. A physical therapy evaluation can help determine the specific problem related to your balance and a personalized program can be created to improve balance, confidence and safety.

Jennifer Nettles and Justin Miller welcome son; first child for Sugarland singer
Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles has a new member of the family.
A statement issued Friday says Nettles gave birth to son Magnus Hamilton Miller on Thursday. It's the first child for the 38-year-old singer and husband Justin Miller.
Nettles says in the statement the couple is thankful for all the prayers and support they've received "and are excited to take some time together as a new family." Nettles and Miller celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary last month.
No other details were immediately available.
Multiplatinum-selling Sugarland, comprised of Nettles and duo partner Kristian Bush, is one of country music's most popular acts. The duo is off the road for the time being, but fans can catch Nettles hosting ABC's pre-recorded CMA Country Christmas on Dec. 20.

Photo Credit: Fuel Your Writing
I remember thinking of writing this post sometime ago. But then it got lost in the shuffle of other blog posts that I thought were more relevant. But now I've gone ahead and changed my mind. I've even given it the coveted Monday spot! Supposedly Mondays are the most active days on blogging sites, though my top five days in terms of views have all come on days that are not Monday. Eh. Doesn't matter.
Anyway, you're likely still scratching your head trying to figure out what exactly I intend to discuss in this post. The title doesn't really tell you all you need to know. Fear not, the topic to be discussed is what you listen to as you write. I was reminded of this question when it was asked of me by another blogger who nominated me for a Liebster Award. My initial response and longest post ever can be found here.
Okay. Time for the good stuff. My answer is actually a two-part answer. First, I don't listen to anything while I'm working on my second novel. The sounds of my house are annoying enough that I have no intention of adding to the mix with sounds of ANYTHING. Second, I always listen to music as I write my blog posts. I typically write them the night before they're set to go online. For instance, this is Monday's post being written at 12:45 Sunday night. What music you ask? Well if you've glanced at my About Me page then you know that I LOVE country music. Seriously. I don't care that people say all they sing about are back roads, blue jeans, beer, and trucks. It's about a thousand times better than pop music. Probably more, actually. I'm always downloading new songs. I listen to my most recent country downloads as I work on my blog posts. It's currently 11 songs. Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett, and Brett Eldredge are all represented in this batch. I honestly don't know why there's a difference between writing a blog post and writing a new chapter. But there is.
So there you have it, I'm either listening to the click-clacking of my fingers on the keys of my laptop while writing a new chapter or I'm jamming to some country music while writing a blog post. I want to know what YOU listen to as you write. Let's compare, shall we?
Also, I'm going to start keeping you guys apprised of my progress to read 50 books in a single calendar year. I just finished my fifth book of the year. London Bridges (Alex Cross #10) by James Patterson.

May/June 2008 Editorial: Who Is Going to Build the Zero Energy Home?
Posted by Alan Meier on April 28, 2008
Already the American Institute of Architects, DOE's Building America program, and pragmatic regulatory agencies like the California Energy Commission are committing to the design and construction of buildings that consume zero or very little energy. Similar goals are being written into the building codes in Europe. Australians are talking about requiring all homes to be net energy exporters. These initiatives won't take effect instantly, but zero energy homes are headed toward becoming the norm rather than the exception; building these homes will no longer be a fringe activity. Is the building and retrofitting industry prepared? No, and here are a few examples of the yawning gap between good intentions and reality. Let's focus on the institutional barriers, rather than on the technologies.
Where do we look for examples of zero energy homes? Is there one in your community? City? State? Climate zone? This is problem number one. Without an inventory of documented successes—or even near successes—how can we establish a foundation of experience?
Who is going to design those zero energy homes? The number of architects capable of designing a zero energy home can be counted on the fingers of two or three hands. Leading architecture schools have only just begun offering courses in the design of low-energy buildings. These are typically not mainstream courses, nor are these courses required for graduation. The number of instructors qualified to teach such courses probably amounts to less than 1% of the number needed to meet the potential demand. We need to get at the production builders—then one architect is responsible for thousands of homes, and we only need to get to a few architects. This is the intent of the Building America program. Unfortunately, DOE (under instruction from the Bush administration) moved away from a focus on the "deployment" of thousands of energy-efficient homes, to "research" using only a handful of energy-efficient homes.
Even existing programs have limitations. Architects and contractors may understand how to cut heating and cooling energy usage down to practically nothing, but they typically ignore the appliances (except for the water heater), and energy-efficient lighting. (Sometimes they even rely on the inefficiency of the appliances to provide free heat.) True, you can slap acres of PV modules on the roof of almost any house (if it's large enough), but that simply shifts the question to who can design an affordable (without enormous tax credits) zero energy home?
Who's going to sweat the details? Energy consumption in homes is fragmenting into an increasing number of small uses. A recent study showed that in an average home, over 40 products are drawing power all the time. Who is in a position to ensure that every one of them draws as little power as possible? Other details that influence energy use and need attention include the quality of the construction and equipment and materials choices.
How do we deal with the "stovepipe" problem? It makes sense, initially, to address energy saving in each end use separately. But beyond a certain point, integration and coordination will be required to zero out a home's energy use. The barriers between trades will need to fall and new specializations will need to be created to identify and exploit potential energy savings.
These are just a few examples of the institutional adjustments that must be made before we can effectively reduce emissions from homes. They aren't impossible to achieve, but we needed to start yesterday in order to stay on schedule. And if you dislike these adjustments, read about what we will need to do to adapt to climate change in my next editorial.

What to Watch: Kardashian wants speedy divorce for unborn child's sake
Trending topic
Kim Kardashian has asked the court to speed up proceedings in her divorce for the sake of her unborn child, Yahoo News reports. Kardashian is still legally married to basketball player Kris Humphries but is pregnant by rapper Kanye West. Kardashian was treated for pain earlier this week, which her physician attributed to stress.
Humphries is asking the court to annul the marriage on the basis of fraud, a claim Kardashian denies. Humphires' lawyer has filed a response to Kardashian's request stating that they should not have to move proceedings up to before the end of Humphries' basketball season just because of Kardashian's "apparently unplanned pregnancy" by another man.
On TV
"Community" finally returns tonight, and it seems to be making up for lost time. Abed is stressed about the group graduating at the end of the year, and he looks to Britta for help. This episode also includes a "Hunger Games"-style seat assignment method, led by Dean Pelton. While this will undoubtedly be amazing, one can only hope this isn't meant to replace a paintball episode this season. NBC 8 p.m. EST.

Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, has launched "The Dream is Now," a website pushing for passage of the Dream Act, Yahoo News reports. The Dream Act is a piece of federal legislation designed to create pathways to citizenship for those brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The Dream Act would legalize those under the age of 30 who entered the U.S. before they were 15. Applicants would be required to prove they have no criminal record, and to enlist in the military or attend at least two years of college.
Undocumented immigrants who would qualify for legalization under the Dream Act are encouraged to visit www.thedreamisnow.org and share their stories. Powell Jobs has partnered with David Guggenheim, director of "Waiting for Superman" to have the stories compiled into a documentary. They hope the documentary will serve as a petition, and put a face to those who will be helped by the Dream Act.

Dear Editor:
The State of New Jersey's decision, which was announced late last week, to close the inbound Pulaski Skyway for two years will represent vast economic disruption to the workforce, residents and suppliers to numerous Hudson County based businesses. Without providing adequate replacement routes, an economic impact study and traffic studies, the State of New Jersey made a decision which will have long range impacts on existing businesses as well as future development in Hudson County. The movement of goods via commercial vehicles will be especially hard hit.
As a daily commuter on the Skyway: I can verify that the Truck Route 1 and 9 is at capacity during rush hour; the Turnpike Extension is at capacity during rush hour; the Route 7 approach to Jersey City over the Wittpenn Bridge is at capacity as well.
I am urging you to tell the State of New Jersey to take this back to the drawing board and come up with a wide range of suitable options at this time including, but not limited to, an additional parallel roadway, a connection from Tonnelle Avenue to Exit 15X (Secaucus) and any other ideas which will avoid a traffic and economic catastrophe.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Nancy Grace is still missing her prized handcuff necklace. And she's naming Anderson as a suspect. But he's not the only one in her criminal crosshairs. So is Mark Geragos, and they're all on The RidicuList.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Mark Geragos • Nancy Grace • The RidicuList
I miss the hand cuffs too. So awesome!
She most of found them or it was a rerun she had the handcuff Necklace around her neck. Fri or Sat night on her show.
Neclace spot on Nancy's neck 3-22-13
Is it possible, just possible, that Nancy's handcuffs have merely "fallen through"?
The 1980's got tired of leaving a message and came to her dressing room to take them back to the time in which they belong
You know, until Nancy's handcuff necklace mysteriously disappeared I really didn't like her. She seemed to be a little too......a little too SOMETHING that I just couldn't get past.
But NOW, after seeing her plea for the safe return of her beloved necklace I have had a change of heart. I saw the emotion, the grief and then that tiny little subtle smile. I like her.
Also, I have a similiar necklace

Back Cleaning Results in 150-foot Fall
ON MAY 17, ALEXANDER SCOLA, 28, a German climber with 11 years of alpine and rock-climbing experience, was leading pitch 18 on the Nose (VI 5.9 C2) of El Capitan. He and his partner, Jörg Mund, also from Germany, were on their first trip to the U.S. This was their second day on the classic route, and they were enjoying their first big wall.
According to YOSAR, Scola carried triples of each cam. At the start of the pitch he clipped a quickdraw through a bolt at the anchor, and then climbed past a large detached flake (5.9 or C1), aiding and back-cleaning his pieces as he went. Back-cleaning, a common aid-climbing technique, allowed Scola to carry fewer cams, but exposed him to a potentially big fall.
About 35 feet above the bolt, Scola left his first piece, a medium-sized, rigid-stem cam, in place. He continued upward, aiding the crack above (5.10 or C1) on medium cams until he was above the rigid-stemmed unit. Approximately 75 feet above the belay, as Scola was back-cleaning his lower piece, the one he was weighting pulled, and he fell onto the rigid-stemmed unit. He heard a "pop" as the rope came taut. The cam had pulled.
Scola tumbled more than 150 feet before his partner caught him with a Grigri. He lost consciousness and when he came to, he was dangling 10 feet below Eagle Ledge, a feature in the middle of pitch 17. He couldn't remember the fall, was in pain and bleeding from his leg and face. His left leg had an open femur fracture. His helmet, six months old and in good condition was severely damaged, its energy-absorbing liner ruptured in the back and crushed in front.
Climbers from another party called 911, and Scola's partner rappelled to Eagle Ledge, and built a 2:1 raising system with the haul line to help Scola up to the Ledge.
Despite high winds, a helicopter from the California Highway Patrol dropped two YOSAR members and a rescue litter on Eagle Ledge. Scola was loaded in and delivered to a medivac helicopter in El Cap Meadow, and flown to the medical center in Modesto. He arrived at the emergency room approximately four hours after his fall. In addition to the femur fracture, Scola suffered fractured vertebrae, a fractured jaw and broken teeth, and lost one liter of blood. He is expected to recover fully.
Scola is lucky he survived. The speed of the rescue, and his wise use of a helmet, probably saved his life. He told YOSAR he usually leaves more pieces when free climbing, and his experience climbing granite was limited. He knew back-cleaning gear and leap-frogging cams were common practices, and thought that since he was putting only body weight on the placements, he wouldn't need as much protection as if free climbing. Additionally, he was worried about running out of certain sizes.
Since Scola had climbed mostly in Europe and was unaccustomed to placing cams in granite, he trusted them perhaps more than he should have. He said that although the crack around the piece he was weighting was somewhat flared, he's still not sure why the cams failed. He had thought both pieces were solid, and wonders if the rigid stem on the one unit made it more likely to walk to a less stable position in the crack, even though he used a sling to extend it.
Scola's partner told YOSAR he thought Scola had been under-protecting the entire route.
"It's obvious to Scola in retrospect that he under-protected the pitch," YOSAR member John Dill stated in the accident report. The crack was varied enough that he could have left smaller cams on the pitch's lower section, protecting himself without using all his mid-sized gear.
While clipping the rope through the directional at the belay didn't shorten the fall significantly, it allowed the belayer to manage the force of the fall as an upward pull, instead of yanking him down and off his stance. It also prevented a very serious factor-2 fall.
"YOSAR has seen several cases of 'solid' cam placements failing, even under body weight, with serious injuries and deaths resulting," Dill said in an interview. This accident was caused by user error, and is a reminder that cams can fail, especially if placed poorly.
Additionally, on slabby, relatively plum-line pitches such as this one, Scola could have left more pieces below and lowered down to retrieve them if necessary, enabling him always to have multiple pieces of pro in the rock nearby. "Having only one piece in 90 feet is hanging it out there," responding YOSAR member Keith Lober said.
"This isn't a case of a beginner misjudging his protection, nor is this strictly a big wall mistake—it can, and does, happen anywhere," Dill concluded in his report. This accident could have been prevented had Scola simply backed himself up.
