Pregnancy is similar to a battlefield that you must prepare yourself meant for. You will go through horrible mood shiifts, painful swelling, loss of sleep, and become uncomfortable for a long period of time. Use this article to help you learn how to deal with pregnancy the best way as you can and when it' s all over, you will be the happiest person in the world!
Listen to your body. Some women will find that they need more rest when they are pregnant, and others will find that some foods no longer accept them. Don' t push your body to do something it clearly will not want to do. Being able to listen to what you need will help your pregnancy go a lot smoother.
Avoid any chemicals that could harm your baby. Many cleaning products have a strong smell and can be found in your home, your work and anywhere else you go. Once you breath in these fumes, they can harm your child. Use products that are only made out of natural ingredients.
Your diet now that you are pregnant, is more important than ever. Not only are you needing a lot more energy and strength just to get with the day, but your baby also requirements lots of vitamins and minerals to develop properly. Be sure you eat several solid meals each day and work in items from every major food group.
Be sure you visit your planned birthing medical center. Tour and meet all the employees. This will help calm your nerves plus answer a lot of your questions. Bring the father along too since they will communicate with the staff when you' lso are in labor.
Check into hiring a doula for your birth experiences as well as for the period right after. Doulas are mothers' helpers who are there to provide non-medical support during the labor process as well as the post partum period. Having a doula will help you to have a shorter and more fulfilling birth experience.
Take some time out for yourself. After you baby is born, you won' t be able to take time out for yourself whenever you want to. Life will be more complicated. Go and get a manicure, spend time with friends, or take part in your favorite hobby. Taking time for yourself helps your physical and mental wellness, which in turn helps your baby stay healthy plus happy.
Take care when you trip in a car. Pregnant women should sit as far away from the airbag as it can be and refrain from placing safety belts over the portion of the abdomen using the baby. Doing both of these things decreases the risk of sudden impacts with the possibility of injuring or killing the baby.
Help reduce morning sickness by munching on slices of cucumber. Keep cucumber slices in water in your fridge and try snacking on them throughout the day. No one is sure why it works, but for a good percentage of women it offers a calming effect on their morning sickness symptoms.
You have learned how hard pregnancy can be on your body. You might have also read a lot of sound advice on how to deal with being pregnant. While it is not easy and at times, can be unbearable for everyone involved, it is definitely worth all the discomfort to bring a child into this world.

Tweeting and Driving Suspected in Death of Dr. Frank Ryanby Free Britney at . Comments
Never drink and drive. That message has been drilled into our heads for decades. Now there is a newer threat: Texting/Tweeting/Facebooking and driving.
New reports indicate that Dr. Frank Ryan, plastic surgeon to Heidi Montag and other celebrities, was Tweeting just before his fatal car accident on Monday.
Ex-girlfriend Charmaine Blake said the surgeon "lived up in Malibu on a tiny street and he was texting while driving and he accidentally went over the cliff."
People also confirmed with the California Highway Patrol that Ryan was Tweeting, although the official cause of the accident has still not been determined.
Dr. Frank Ryan was purportedly Tweeting about his border collie, Jill, when he lost control of his car. His final tweet was a photo of Jill atop a sand dune.
The dog survived injuries incurred in the crash.
Dr. Frank Ryan passed away after a car crash yesterday.
While often associated with teenagers, Ryan's reported texting and driving proves how this has become a serious and underrated problem for adult drivers as well.
Public service announcements and advocacy campaigns dedicated to highlighting the dangers of texting, etc., while driving have become more prevalent of late.
In addition to advocacy by governments, consumer groups and wireless companies, some states have even passed laws barring it, even if they allow phone calls.
Hopefully those measures, coupled with incidents like this latest tragedy, can serve as a reminder for others to put down the phone. You can Tweet and text later.
Dr. Frank Ryan was a well respected Plastic Surgeon. He removed tattoos (free of charge) for former gang members, etc. His Dog Jill is at home with Dr. Frank Ryan's family. He was a thoughtful,kind and caring person. He loved his Mother, his family, and friends. Above all, he loved the Lord. Many things will probably be said,that are false, but the people that knew him,loved and respected him.
Tragic, this guy doesnt sound like a doctor to me, never thought i would say this but fuck tweeting fuck cell phones send me back to the 80's or 70's when you actually had to meet people to talk to them. If he were in the 70-80-90ect dude would still be crafting fake tits. This is a perfect example of how dumb we have become with are cell phones where not robots were humans lets act like em umm k.
How tragic to loose your life to this idiocrasy.
The story states that "the dog survived injuries incurred in the crash."
death by tweeting...so 2010. did the dog survive the crash? so many 'animal lovers' out there, and yet no one thinks to ask, what happened to the dog 'Jill'??
So Sad!!! Please, Please don't text/tweet/take pictures and drive!!!! A split second is all it takes to change lives forever!!!

LAY, TEXAS. Lay is twelve miles south of Lufkin in southern Angelina County. The area was settled before the Civil War. A post office opened in 1898 named for William C. Lay, who was the first postmaster. Mail service was discontinued in 1906. In the mid-1930s Lay had several stores and a church. In the early 1990s a church, a community center, and a few scattered houses still occupied the site. Lay was no longer shown on county highway maps in 2000.

Men's Basketball: The "Gentle Giant" leads by example, on and off the court
At nine years old, Chris Pelcher had a dream to be a basketball player. Now, 14 years later, Pelcher is living out his dream as a Div. I college basketball player for the University of New Hampshire.
Pelcher, No. 44, currently plays center for the Wildcats. But before transferring to UNH he spent his first two years playing college basketball for Iona, a close-to-home private college in New Rochelle, N.Y., 147 miles south of Albany, N.Y. where Pelcher grew up.
During his time at Iona, the team experienced three head coaching changes over five years. The inconsistency of game plans, offensive mindsets, and other variables took away from Pelcher's potential as a player. It became more inevitable for Pelcher to look elsewhere for his remaining future in college basketball.
Right out of high school, the Wildcats pushed heavily to recruit Pelcher but were denied. However, after being notified of Pelcher's desire to transfer two years later, UNH men's basketball associate head coach Ken Dempsey decided to give the 6'10", 240 lbs. Pelcher a call.
"Coach Demps gave me a call one day and asked for me to come up for a visit of the campus," Pelcher said. "When I came up for the visit, I really liked the school, saw a great education opportunity and the coaching staff's great passion for the game, so I decided to commit."
UNH men's basketball head coach Bill Herrion saw a great addition to his team when Pelcher decided to commit. In the past two years of coaching Pelcher, Herrion has nothing but praise for Pelcher, whom he calls, "the gentle giant."
"He has been such a great addition to our basketball team on and off the court," Herrion said. "He has really good skill, which he proved last year on the offensive floor for us. Chris is just a really good kid, he is going to graduate with a degree and definitely has a chance after college to continue his basketball career if he decides to."
"If you put your mind to it, you can do it." Those are the words that Pelcher lives by, and were the words of his high school coach Brian Frucio, who saw Pelcher's potential to play at a very high level. Along with the motivation from his high school coach, Pelcher received most of his motivation from his family, crediting his mother and sister for their support in following his dream.
Pelcher was an athletic kid who played a wide range of sports like football, lacrosse, baseball and track and field, before finding his love for basketball.
"It was my dream to play Div. I college basketball and it was in my junior year of high school that I knew it was coming true," Pelcher said. "At the time I was receiving a lot of football letters, but I knew that basketball is where I wanted to be. My father passed away when I was only two, so it was my mom and sister that were always there to support me when I was down. I'd say they are the ones who motivate me the most."
For any college athlete, the lifestyle is much different than a typical college student who normally goes from class to dorm life. For athletes, they have to work around class, as well as their sport schedule, which leaves managing time as being the biggest challenge for Pelcher's lifestyle as a student-athlete.
"My schedule is crazy and sometimes overwhelming," Pelcher said. "You have to manage your time well. The average day for me is usually going for treatment, class, to practice, to more treatment and then homework. Some days you wake up at seven in the morning to head out to the bus for away games, and those days turn in 12-hour days. It is just a schedule that takes time to adjust to."
Even though Pelcher has succeeded as a Wildcat over these past two years, he was limited on the court due to two serious injuries. The first injury took place towards the end of the first season when Pelcher separated his shoulder, sidelining him for several games. Pelcher battled a leg injury this season causing him to miss 12 games.
Today, Pelcher is back in the lineup but still trying to find his groove, a groove that will take a couple of games to find. Despite the battling of injuries and challenges, Pelcher continues to overcome obstacles that stand in the path of his dream to play basketball.
"When you get injured it's a learning experience," Pelcher said. "You just have to accept that in life, everything is not going to go as planned."
During his first season as a Wildcat, Pelcher displayed a tenacious game on the offensive side, putting up double-digit scoring outputs from game to game, until teams decided to double him in coverage, which Herrion expresses as a time where Pelcher's numbers went down.
"Chris was impressive in his first year here at UNH offensively until teams began to double team him towards the end of the season," Herrion said. "In the offseason, before this season, the coaching staff and I challenged him to be a better rebounder, a little more force on the glass. This season Chris has improved tremendously in that department, and his numbers have gone way up. It just shows when he is on the court and is healthy, he can be a big impact for us. I truly believed if he was fully healthy, he would have had a monster year."
When it comes to describing Pelcher as a person, the first word that comes to teammate and fellow senior Jordon Bronner is goofy.
"He is just a big goofy guy," Bronner said. "Not many people who expect that, but he is. Most importantly, he is a great teammate and does a lot for the guys. Most of the things he does for us goes unseen. For example, he is a big help to freshmen William Gabriel and Jacoby Armstrong. He is always giving those guys advice since they play the same position, and vocally he leads by example."
While others see Pelcher as a good teammate, Armstrong sees a warrior.
"He really is a competitor," Armstrong said. "Coming off an injury and being able to put great numbers up despite being out there too fast, it just shows that he wants to win. He is always letting me know what I'm doing wrong, always encouraging me, he is just a good, funny and laid-back kid who studies the game. There is not one negative thing about him."
With only a few games left in his collegiate basketball career, Pelcher seeks to find somewhere to play in the future. Pelcher will graduate with a sociology degree.
"I just want to be in basketball for the rest of my life," Pelcher said. "If I can play anywhere after college, I will do it. Someday I would like to get into coaching, whether it is starting as an assistant somewhere and eventually becoming a head coach. Anything to do with basketball, I'm all there for it. I'd also like to help young people too. With only a few games left in the season, I am hoping the team can make history in the tournament, and do something special."

AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- When Shaun Suisham steps onto the field with the game on the line, the Pittsburgh Steelers kicker doesn't think about the packed stadium or the millions watching at home on TV. He doesn't worry about the way the wind is blowing or if holder Drew Butler is going to get the laces right.
Instead, Suisham thinks about the sacrifices made by the other 44 players dressed in black-and-gold just so the affable 30-year-old Canadian could step in and be the hero.
"He knows how much work the other guys put into the game to that point and it's great to be able to put a win on top of it for everybody," long snapper Greg Warren said.
Something Suisham has gotten pretty good at this fall. He leads the NFL in field goal percentage, making 24 of 25 kicks, and has already drilled three game-winners, including a 42-yarder last Sunday at the gun to beat rival Baltimore on the road.
It's rarified air for any kicker, though you wouldn't know it by talking to Suisham. Asked what it means to be in the midst of a career year in a line of work where you're only as good as your next kick, and all Suisham does is shrug his shoulders.
"It's my job," he said.
One that he's gotten pretty good at. While Suisham doesn't have the strongest leg in the league -- his range is career-long is a relatively modest 52 yards -- at the moment he'll happily settle for the most accurate kicker in the game.
"He's in a zone right now," Warren said.
The Steelers (7-5) have needed him to be in a season where there has been little wiggle room. Only three of Pittsburgh's dozen games have been decided by more than a touchdown, and Suisham's right foot has provided the difference in victories over Philadelphia, Kansas City and the Ravens.
The kicks against the Eagles (34 yards) and Chiefs (23 yards) were relative gimmes. Baltimore, however, proved a little trickier. Yet his boot from the right hashmark was good all the way and for once the normally reserved Suisham decided to celebrate a little bit, giving a fist pump while getting mobbed by his teammates.
It was a rare show of emotion from a player who has learned to take emotion out of the equation. It's no easy task in one of the most stressful and disposable positions in the game.
Suisham, however, has found a sweet spot this fall after a bumpy 2011 in which he made just 74 percent (23 of 31) of his kicks. He had to beat out Dan Hrapmann in training camp over the summer and barring a case of the shanks he'll easily set a personal best in field goals made and field goal percentage.
Not bad for a player who came into the league a little wide-eyed in 2005 and spent the first five seasons of his career bouncing back and forth between Dallas and Washington.
"He's come a long way," said Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who was an assistant with the Cowboys during Suisham's brief stints in Dallas in 2005 and 2006. "You can see that he's developed into a heck of a kicker. When those young kickers come into the league, especially you're in Dallas, you're coming in to fill in for somebody that didn't pass the test ... that's a lot of pressure."
Something Suisham hasn't gotten used to in Pittsburgh. He provided a steadying presence at the position after replacing an erratic Jeff Reed midway through the 2010 season, making all but one of his 15 field goal attempts.
Things were shakier in the playoffs, where Suisham missed a pair of kicks, including a 52-yarder in the third quarter of a 31-25 loss to Green Bay in the Super Bowl.
Like most perfectionists, it's the failures that tend to weigh on Suisham's mind more than the success. Mention how accurate he's been this year and Suisham notes the one miss -- a 54-yarder with 54 seconds remaining that would have given the Steelers the lead in a game they ended up losing 26-23 to Tennessee on Oct. 11.
"I should have made it," Suisham said.
He hasn't missed since, one of the main reasons Pittsburgh heads into Sunday's game against San Diego (4-8) in the hunt for a third straight playoff berth.
"It's very comforting for everybody involved when you have a kicker you can count on," Haley said.

A higher-up involved with Noah Tepperbergs new project in the Earth space tells us that in a second meeting of Community Board 4s licensing committee last night, booze was blessed (in a 85 vote) provided Tepperberg installs proper soundproofing and security, regularly attends CB meetings, and doesnt seek a cabaret license. With this decision in hand (as well as a petition hes circulating among neighbors), Tepperberg will likely get a more sympathetic response from the full board when it meets on Monday (it previously voted him down). Word is, Tepperberg is aiming for cuisine with a scene and hopes the venue will be a cross between the Spotted Pig and Rose Bar (no one ever said the guy wasnt ambitious). Expect Earth to close for a cosmetic renovation in January, and the new place, which is still without a name, to reopen about three months later. And now, a look at the planned food menu.

Missionary Minute: June 18, 2006
by Governor Mays
Rural southeast Arkansas, where I serve, is saturated with drug abuse, high unemployment, industry flight, poverty and teen pregnancy. I thank God the Wesley/Bailey Chapel Project addresses these issues. We work with at-risk children and youth, low-income families, older adults and persons affected by HIV/AIDS. We offer affordable child care, pay utility bills, provide food, repair and renovate homes, and tutor students. Much of our outreach is interfaith through the Delta Ministers Fellowship which includes more than 20 pastors from several denominations.
One of our programs—home rehabilitation—enables people to maintain their property, thereby promoting the health and welfare of the entire community. In a recent year we worked on 19 homes, completing 17 with work teams. One team renovated the home of a man I'll call "Joe." Joe lives alone and uses an electric wheelchair. He was having trouble getting around his house because the doors were too narrow to accommodate his wheelchair. A work team of youth widened the doorways, enabling Joe to move easily throughout his home.
"I feel much safer because I can get into and out of the bedroom and the bathroom," Joe said. "I thank God for the youth of this volunteer team."
We receive a lot from the people we serve. They are so thankful for what we do, but they don't realize how much they do for us: giving us an opportunity to minister.
My mentor taught me that missionaries should expect to work themselves out of a job. When we go into a community, we identify problems and try to find persons in the area who can address those problems. Then we step back and let the people from the community move forward to solve the problems.
The best part of my job is the chance to witness about Jesus Christ and to demonstrate God's love for all people. Through the Advance for Christ and His Church, I can do that. Thank you!
—Governor Mays, church and community worker, Wesley/Bailey Chapel Project, Arkansas Conference, McGehee, Ark.

Just like the Tea Party! Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) was on hand. She addressed a mob outside the Hyatt Regency Chicago, where some activists apparently attempted to disrupt a meeting of the Mortgage Bankers Association. She then led them in one of five feeder marchers that combined into a sea of pot-smoking, bongo-drumming, flea-infested dreadlock lunacy outside the Art Institute of Chicago. We caught up with Jan, and asked for her thoughts on the patriotism of the protest, since we could not find one American flag in her parade of nearly 1000 liberal loons.

9 years after loss, Nader fights campaign tactics
Nine years after Ralph Nader made a failed presidential bid, a different administration is in the White House, his running mate is dead and his biggest role in the last election was as moderator of a debate for alternative candidates.
Associated Press
Nine years after Ralph Nader made a failed presidential bid, a different administration is in the White House, his running mate is dead and his biggest role in the last election was as moderator of a debate for alternative candidates.
Still, he fights for 2004.
For four years, the consumer advocate and Green Party candidate has been accusing Democratic operatives of using illegal and malicious tactics against him in that campaign. The lawsuit has been winding through the courts since and appears to be far from a resolution.
Lawyers in the case made their second appearance in less than two years before the Maine Supreme Court on Wednesday, reduced to the same arguments they were making two years ago, thanks to various rulings and a new legal standard the case created.
With the election long over, and another losing bid for the presidency in 2008 also behind him, what keeps Nader fighting are his principles and an effort to clear his name.
It's important for independent candidates to defend their ballot access rights to ensure more independents in the future can run for office and that politics isn't dominated by a two-party system, his lawyer, Oliver Hall, said following Wednesday's hearing. Plus, Nader wants the record to show he didn't do anything wrong in attempting to get on the state ballots as a candidate.
"This is protecting voter choice," Hall said. "It's one thing to ensure voters get to the polls. It's another thing to ensure they have a meaningful choice. Often voters only have two choices, or in some cases one, on the ballot."
To that end, Nader sued Kerry-Edwards 2004, the Democratic National Committee, the Maine Democratic Party and other groups in 2009, accusing them of trying to drain his financial resources and keep him off the ballot in Maine and more than a dozen other states in the 2004 election.
Many Democrats blamed Nader for siphoning away votes from John Kerry in his loss to President George W. Bush, just as Nader's showing in Florida in 2000 is blamed as a big factor in Bush's defeat of Al Gore.
Nader and his 2004 running mate, the late Peter Camejo, ultimately appeared on the ballot as independents in 34 states, including Maine, and collected only three-tenths of 1 percent of the nation's popular vote.
On Wednesday, a lawyer for the Maine Democratic Party and allied organizations said a lower court judge erred in allowing Nader's lawsuit to go forward. Hall told the justices that the lawsuit should be allowed to continue.
The party has said it had a constitutional right to challenge Nader's efforts to get on the ballot. Nader's side has said the First Amendment doesn't allow somebody to make baseless allegations to block a candidate from the ballot.
The Nader side claims the Democrats filed 29 complaints in 18 states and Washington, D.C., often accusing the Nader campaign of fraud without any evidence or for innocent, small technical mistakes on petitions.

I bought this to replace an old router and works fine. Sometimes the range could be better, however.
I bought this to replace my old TrendNet TEW-632BRP and I enjoy this one as I enjoyed my old router. Super simple to connect and setup, no dropping issuses and no lag issuses. Good bang for Buck.
I've had this router for a few days. It frequently drops connections, and the only way to fix it is to restart the router (takes 75 seconds).
Also, the range is horrid. I have the router setup in my room, and I live in a small house. If I'm sitting in my living room (about 20 feet away) the signal drops.
Would avoid.

BARRE The Cabot teenager accused of repeatedly raping a young boy and a dog has been released from jail so he can live with his father in Hardwick.
Jay D. Deasy, 17, was in Washington County family court Thursday for a bail review hearing. He was being held on $80,000 bail, but Judge Thomas Devine decided Deasy could be released into the custody of his parents as long as he stays away from the boy and is under constant supervision of his parents, who were in the courtroom.
Deasy is accused of raping a 9-year-old boy 10 to 15 times over the past two years. The Vermont State Police affidavit also said Deasy admitted to repeatedly raping a female dog.
At the hearing, Deasys public defender, Maggie Vincent, said he has been diagnosed with an emotional delay where he functions more like a 12- or 13-year-old.
Because of Deasys age, he is applying for youthful offender status, which would spare him from the potential life sentence he currently faces.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER U.S. Rep.

Updated Conn Smythe watch
A goalie claims the top spot, and Blackhawks dominate the rankings
Editor's note: These rankings are based on player production in terms of Hockey Prospectus' goals versus threshold (GVT) valuation metric. If you are unfamiliar with GVT and how it works, you can learn more here.
Throughout the season, Hockey Prospectus provided Player Power Rankings for the top 10 skaters and top five goalies in the NHL based on HP's proprietary value metric GVT, a statistic that combines player contributions in all aspects of the game, including offense, defense, goaltending and the shootout. With the shootout eliminated for the playoffs, that component is removed from the equation.
As we get closer to the Stanley Cup finals, this serves a guide to which players should be in the mix for the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) if a strict mathematical approach were taken to the award. With the field narrowing to our final four Cup contenders, the rankings will no longer take a positional approach; instead, we'll look at the top 10 overall in terms of GVT.
The Chicago Blackhawks have made their presence known, nabbing four of the 10 spots. The rankings are led by Chicago goalie Corey Crawford, and Los Angeles Kings pivot Anze Kopitar checks in at No 3.
Top 10 Players
1. Corey Crawford, G, Chicago Blackhawks
Off GVT: 6.9 | Def GVT: 0.0 | Total GVT: 6.9
Crawford has been strong in every series: a .934 save percentage against St. Louis, .926 against Minnesota and .962 in Game 1 against L.A. He leads remaining playoff goaltenders in goals-against average (1.90), save percentage (.933) and GVT.
2. Henrik Lundqvist, G, New York Rangers
Off GVT: 5.8 | Def GVT: 0.0 | Total GVT: 5.8
While the rest of the final four teams have multiple players in the Top 10, Lundqvist stands as the lone representative from the Rangers, another sure sign of his value to his team. He was impeccable in Games 5, 6 and 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, stopping all but three of the 105 shots he faced.

I think Meryl Streep should play Hillary in the same way she played the mother of the Manchurian Candidate. Total control over the little boy in the WH. She told him to do what she has been doing all of her life. Make up a story and lie to the Press because they are so gullible, they will believe anything Obama says. Hey, it worked.

It was great.
Corey Holcomb will perform stand-up comedy at a funeral if they're serving drinks. And he'll kill. A native of inner city Chicago, Corey's distinctive voice of what it means to be "ghetto" and what it takes to be a player makes him one the most engaging and appealing acts in comedy. No matter how cold his stories of poverty, street life, and women may be, he always warms you with his charming smile, and he certainly leaves you rolling with laughter.
Corey hit his first open mic in 1992 when Adele Givens called him to the stage. He was a smashing success and has been a full-time comedian ever since. He has taken top honors at the Miller Genuine Draft Comedy Search, Budweiser Comedy Competition, Chicago Home Jam, and Laffapalooza. He has appeared at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and the Chicago Comedy Festival.
Corey's film and television credits include 20th Century Fox's "Like Mike," a recurring role on UPN's "Half & Half," NBC's "The Tonight Show" and "Late Friday," Fox's "Mad TV," Comedy Central's "Premium Blend," HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," "It's Showtime at the Apollo," and BET's "Comic View."

|Amino Acid Supplementation in Recovery From Severe Burn
|Brief Summary
Severe burns result in persistent and extensive fat deposition in liver and muscle tissue. This may be related to the prolonged insulin resistance observed following burn. In this study the investigators will test the hypothesis that essential amino acids act in synergy with exercise to improve liver steatosis and muscle lipid metabolism, and thus also affect insulin sensitivity. Children with burns will participate in six weeks of exercise training with/without amino acid supplementation. Before and after the intervention, measurements will be done to determine muscle and liver fat content, muscle fat and protein metabolism, and insulin sensitivity.

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen shook up the Academy Awards in character as The Dictator.
Arriving at the Hollywood and Highland centre, the comic was on white hot form - although his extravagant military uniform clashed with the couture gowns.
Flanked by two khaki-clad assistants, Sacha brandished an urn which he claimed contained the ashes of late North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Il.
He then emptied the contents over stunned American television presenter, Ryan Seacreast.

— Ben to Alexis
Benjamin "Ben" Mason is a major character in the first, second, third and fourth season. He is the middle child of the Mason family. Prior to the first season, he was captured by the invaders and harnessed. He is rescued by the 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment at the beginning of the series and reassumes a prominant role in the resistance. Despite having the Harness removed, Ben continues to feel its residual effects. He has superhuman senses as well as greatly enhanced strength, stamina and agility, and he can communicate/translate with Skitters. However, the residual parts of the harness make him vulnerable to manipulation by enemy Skitters and Espheni at close range, and it is theorized that if the spikes are not eventually removed he will die in less than a decade.
Sometime after the invasion his mother went out to get supplies. Ben remembers this being the last time he saw her, just seeing her feet as she was leaving through the window. He remembered how when Tom brought her back after she died she was missing one of her shoes, he regretted not going to look for the missing shoe. However, is mentioned by Matt, that when the aliens came down, Ben was at his friend Nick's house.
Season 1Edit
"Live and Learn"Edit
Months later while Hal was scouting a road, he noticed Ben among a group of harnessed children, later reporting this to his father, he argues with Tom about going after Ben, and Hal says he is going with or without him but is stopped by Tom.
"The Armory"Edit
After the situation with Pope and his gang, Weaver allows Tom three days to find and bring back Ben.
"Prisoner of War"Edit
Tom leaves with his group to bring back the harnessed kids, Tom looks through the binoculars and sees Ben gathering scrap metal on the roof. Upon Porter's arrival, Porter reveals that they have been able to get the harness of, but they died a few days later. Porter gives Tom the option to bring back only one harnessed kid, and use their new safe way to take of the harness. Later that day, Tom tells Harris that Ben is a prisoner, harnessed and that they are going to go get him. When they go to the building, they do not find Ben, but Mike finds Rick. As the mission fails, and Hal and Karen are stunned by a Mech, Hal wakes up to find Ben dragging Karen away to be harnessed.
"Silent Kill"Edit
A few days later, Hal comes up with a plan to retrieve Ben and the other harnessed kids. Hal places a deceased Harness on his back and during the night walks behind the other kids to the room where the Skitter sleeps with them. Hal, calls out Ben and the Skitter wakes up, Hal stabs the Skitter and is saved by Tom as he shoots the Skitter. They take Ben and the harnessed kids back to the school where Tom, Lourdes and Scott assist Anne in removing the harnesses. As the Mason family wait with Ben, he wakes up and calls to his dad, then falls back to sleep.

"What Hides Beneath"Edit
"Eight Hours"Edit
Battle of FitchburgEdit
Four weeks after the First Assault on Boston, Ben is learning how to shoot from Hal. Hal tells him the first thing Tom taught him was to keep the grip tight, but not so tight that he was tense. Also to fire in short bursts. Ben said he understood, Hal then asks if Ben is really up for learning how to fight. Ben said it was time he stepped up since Weaver's patrols have been reporting a lot of activity, he then noticed a pillar of smoke then he noticed Dai was near it. When Dai got closer Hal told Ben to kill the Skitter on the right, Ben hesitated however and Hal was forced to kill the other as well. Hal asked why he hesitated; Ben said he didn't have a clean shot and that he'd do better next time. Ben later volunteered to go with Griffin, Hal and Maggie to find a gap in the enemy lines, Weaver turned him down due to his age and lack of experience.(Battle of Fitchburg Chapter 1)
Later, Jimmy asked Ben when he couldn't shoot the Skitter when it was about to attack Dai. Ben responded he'd never killed anything before, that it's harder than it looks. Ben quotes Tom, quoting Sun Tzu saying "To know your enemy, you must become your enemy." Jimmy responds saying they're in a war with them, that they want all humans dead. Ben says Jimmy doesn't get it. He does know the Skitters. He knows they killed his mother, and that they took his father. He knows what they did to him, that he knows them better than anyone. Ben says he hates them more than Jimmy could possibly know. He tells him how he wants to kill them all.(Battle of Fitchburg Chapter 2)
When Weaver overheard Anne say they had run out of medicine, Weaver called Ben and Rick over. Weaver told them the enemy was surrounding them. He said under normal circumstances he wouldn't go to them but he was out of choices. Weaver wondered if they could still sense the Skitters. Ben said there's a buzz, but he can't understand them, he also stated he'd never let them control him. Weaver understood, but felt he could use them to find a way out between the enemy lines. Ben felt he could sense them if they were close enough. He then allowed them to leave, telling them to keep their heads down and not to engage the enemy. Ben said he make them proud. After traveling for some time Rick sensed the Skitters were close and told Ben, Ben said he knew. Rick then heard something else and asked Ben if he did. Ben said he did and that something was following them. Jimmy revealed himself to the two boys and said he was making sure they didn't get into trouble. Rick and Ben then heard the buzzing, meaning Skitters were nearby so they hid in a pharmacy.(Battle of Fitchburg Chapter 3)

Ben joined Hal and Tom to go see Matt, Tom told his sons how he was captured at the Pickett's farm. Ben asked about the Picketts' Tom told them they were gone when he got there. When he heard Anne and Lexi were in the same tower as Tom, Ben asked if he saw them and if they were with him. Tom told them they weren't, Matt asked if they were ok, Tom told them weren't. Tom told Matt to take the pain he was feeling and use it. Tom told them they were going to go after Karen, he said they'd grieve for Anne and Lexi when Karen was dead. As Tom left to talk to Weaver, Ben reminded Tom about his speech about hate. Tom told Ben that was a long time ago, and that hate was all he had left and he didn't plan on wasting it. After the bomb went off, Weaver had Ben use his advanced hearing to tell everyone where to dig. Weaver asked Ben what he could hear, he said he couldn't be sure. Weaver said hearing through 40 feet of rock was miracle enough. Matt later figured if they went through the storm drains maybe Ben could hear the people below better. They told Weaver who told them to do that. When he and Matt arrived at the storm drain, he thought he could hear better but said he couldn't. Matt said he was worried, Ben said he was worried too that the others might be dead. Matt said maybe that wouldn't be so bad, since Tom had changed, Matt believed Karen did something to him. Ben said Matt would change too if that happened to him. Ben said he didn't want to let anyone die down there. Matt told Ben was the only one Karen couldn't kill, Ben said he could die just like anyone. Matt said that whatever would happen, Ben would be there to see it. Ben said if Matt wasn't there he wouldn't want to be there either. Ben was still in the storm drain when he heard Maggie banging on a pipe. He called up to them and started banging on the pipe as well. Hal responded to them, Matt told him to stay there and that he'd go get Weaver and a crew to help. Hal said they were almost out of air, Ben said to open the pipe; Maggie yelled that she couldn't, but with Hal's help she was able to. She then pulled Hal over to get some air. Hal weakly said they got the pipe open. Ben sighed with relief and told them to hold on.
Season 4Edit
"Ghost in the Machine"Edit
22 days after travelling back to Charleston and safety, the 2nd Mass is finally near home. However, things are not so simple as the Espheni attack. As the Espheni is dropping large obelisks that create a grid that keeps everyone grouped together on the 2nd Mass forces, Tom asks where Matt is but does not know and is told to find him, however as they are separated, Ben grabs Lexi and runs off with her to safety along with Lourdes and Maggie.
4 months pass, after the attack from the Espheni, and Ben wakes up in a bed, suffering from a brain injury when he tried to protect Lexi. As he opens his eyes, a girl walks up to him and says that he finally awake, when Ben stands up Maggie runs up to him and explains what has happened and shows him around Chinatown. He runs to a girl, he thinks is Lexi, then Lexi says to Ben "Don't you remember your own sister". Ben becomes agitated as he is confused and he notices Alexis's necklace and ask her what it is, to which she replies unity, confused he asks her who she means and she calmly replies "the three of us". Lexi then comforts Ben and tells him that she is protecting him now instead of the other way around. Confused by the situation, Ben tells his half-sister that they should find Hal and the other family members, but Alexis promises Ben is safe in Chinatown. As Maggie is showering, Ben walks up to her and asks her if she has stopped fighting the Aliens, and Maggie mentions that they don't need to fight, and they just need to follow Alexis' orders, and mentions a situation when a Mega-Mech found Chinatown, and Alexis gave the order not to shoot at it, then a bolt of lighting came from the sky and struck the Mech, and Maggie shows him the Mech which is now melted into the floor.
"The Eye"Edit
Lexi sits at a pond of water, and sits and watches the water. Outside Ben and Roger are seen watching her, and Ben asks him what she is doing, and Roger replies that she is meditating and getting away from her followers. Ben asks what they want from her, and Roger replies "everything", as they think she's god. Roger says that he's glad Ben's here, so someone can tell her the truth that she's dying, since she looks like he's 21, however she is technically 1, and her growth spurts are random so Roger does not know how long she can last. Ben then walks past the line of followers, and goes to visit Lexi, and speaks to her; Ben tells Lexi to stop talking like a fortune cookie, and Lexi starts to uncontrollable use her powers, but is calmed down and talked into having a blood test. Later after Roger takes the blood test, Lourdes walks in, gets angry and tries to take the blood test away from Roger, however Lexi starts again using her powers, and accidently destroys the blood. Later during the night after Lexi is resting, Ben speaks with Maggie. After noticing that Lexi has left, Ben follows her and finds out that she is speaking with an Espheni.

"Mind Wars"Edit
At Chinatown, Anne speaks to the captured Espheni, as he speaks through Ben. The two speak about Lexi, and Anne asks what he wants with Lexi. While speaking, Ben's nose starts to bleed, as a Espheni is more of a challengene to connect to. As the Monk disconnects from Ben, Maggie catches Ben as he starts to collapse. Maggie later goes to check on Ben, but Ben soon starts screaming in pain and he falls to the ground. Maggie realises that he is connected to the Monk who is being punished for answers about healing Lexi; Maggie lifts Ben's shirt to find that the pain is also hurting Ben as much as the Monk.

During Season 1, the relationship between Ben Mason and his father is relatively good. Tom actively tries to shelter his son and keep him away from the fighting. During the 3 month absence of his father at the beginning of the second season, however, Ben takes on a greater role in the resistance and in general becomes more independant. Upon the return of his father, Ben has lost the innocence afforded by his father's earlier protection.
Ben's relationship with his brother is rather complicated and while close, the two fail to find common ground throughout much of the series. Despite the apparent tension between the two, Hal displays great care for his younger brother, although his reaching out is generally met with much dismay due to Ben's troubled self-image.
Not much is known about Matt Mason and Ben Mason's relationship with each other, as Matt is not yet a central story character. However, in the brief interaction presented thus far, Ben clearly cares for Matt and is very protective of him. At times Ben confides in Matt over complicated personal issues before telling his father Tom Mason or his older brother Hal Mason. This occurs, for instance, in episode 15 when Ben shares with Matt his tentative plans to leave the 2nd Mass without confiding in anyone else.
In general, Ben Mason interacts with Captain Weaver as a soldier might interact with his commander. On several occasions during the second season, he opens up to the Captain to a greater extent. After the death of his friend Jimmy, he symbolically returns Jimmy's compass to Weaver and breaks down, crying on the captain's shoulder.
Captain Weaver initially is more ready than Tom to acknowledge Ben's abilities and utilize him in combat. When Tom returns from captivity, Weaver explains to him that Ben is often "the right...man...for the job."
Ben and Denny are known to be good friends, and have a close relationship. They have been known to hang around and talk most of the time. Ben and Denny often talk about their spikes and are also battle partners. Both Denny and Ben often joke with each other and compliment each other. It can be seen that Denny cares deeply for Ben, as when she arrives to Chinatown she immediately hugs Ben.

A Guide To Charlotte Knights Baseball
Professional baseball in Charlotte enters a new era in 2014 with the opening of the BB&T Ballpark in the heart of the Center City. The new state-of-the-art facility marks the latest chapter of the city's fascination with pro baseball, a tradition that dates back more than 100 years to the founding of the Charlotte Hornets baseball team in 1901. Generations of Charlotte residents enjoyed games in Crockett Park, located in the Dilworth neighborhood, until the field was destroyed by fire in 1985. Since 1989, Charlotte's baseball team, renamed the Knights, has played in Knights Stadium, just over the state line in Fort Mill, SC. With the opening of the BB&T Ballpark, baseball in Charlotte returns home.

About The Charlotte Knights
The Charlotte Knights Baseball Club is a Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox playing in the International League. Triple-A ball is one step below Major League baseball. Many Knights have been called up to play in Chicago, including pitcher Jon Garland and third baseman Joe Crede, who played important roles in winning the World Series for the White Sox in 2005.
Owner Don Beaver bought the Knights from George Shinn in 1998. Beaver also owns two other minor league clubs, the Class-A Hickory Crawdads and the Triple-A New Orleans Zephyrs. Beaver hopes someday to bring major league baseball to the Carolinas.
Baseball teams play nearly every day during the season. The Knights will play 72 games at home during the inaugural season at BB&T Ballpark and an equal number of away games. The season runs from April 3 to September 1, with the first home game played in Charlotte on April 11 vs. the Norfolk Tides. Most games are played in the evenings with first pitch at 7:05 p.m., with afternoon games on Sundays.
Knights' games are scheduled against regional International League rivals the Durham Bulls, an affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays; the Georgia-based Gwinnett Braves, affiliate of the Atlanta Braves; and the Norfolk Tides, affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles. Teams from Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester, NY, Columbus and Toledo, OH, Louisville, KY, and Indianapolis, IN, as well as from Pennsylvania and Rhode Island will also come to Charlotte to compete.

Diabetes Cookbook Review: the Diabetes & Heart Healthy Cookbook, 2nd Edition
More A Sweet Life May 29, 2014, 1:58 pm
I don'Äôt envy those whose job it is to make diabetes-friendly eating into something that sounds exciting 'Äì or at least worth the time and effort to complete a recipe. The stuff'Äôs got to taste good, the ingredients have to be somewhat familiar; the recipes can'Äôt be too difficult. You don'Äôt want to terrify any newcomers to diabetes, but you'Äôd like to avoid exasperating the old-timers.¬Ý
Somehow, the hardworking souls who put together this diabetes cookbook, Diabetes & Heart Healthy Cookbook made it all work. The book is a joint effort from the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, so while I was eager to try out some of the recipes, I was also slightly wary of what I'Äôd find inside. Would the recipes call for abominations like sugar-free jelly or spray margarine? How much kale would be involved? Did each recipe come with a free lecture from a disappointed endocrinologist and/or cardiologist?¬Ý
Upon the very first reading, though, it became clear that this is really just a cookbook for people who want to eat healthy, with the added bonus of exchange counts and complete nutrition information for each recipe. There are lighter takes on perennial favorites, like Mustard-Crusted Beef Tenderloin and Chicken Pot Pie, and then there are more adventurous recipes containing things like farro, which – news to me – is an ancient whole grain that's popular in Italy.

Today being Friday the 13th better grab your lucky rabbits foot and steer clear of any black cats! Who knows what can happen on this cursed day…wait…why has Friday the 13th been marked as so unlucky? Both Friday and the number 13 are each unlucky throughout history. When they appear together they create an irrational fear known as friggatriskaidekaphobia.
Unlucky 13
13 has been considered unlucky for centuries dating all the way back to at least 1700 BC. Historians note that ancient Babylon's Code of Hammurabi skips over the number 13 in its list of laws. The next earliest reference that could contribute to the superstition is that 13 people present at the last supper. Since these early account there have been plenty of folklore and coincidental comparisons to back it up.
A Fight To Prove #13's Innocence
With so much hype surrounding this number there were bound to be a few people to disagree. In 1881 one such group was known as the Thirteen Club. This club was founded with 13 original members who attempted to prove that any negativity surrounding the number was false. On the clubs first meeting members walked under ladders into rooms covered with spilled salt to fight any superstition. This club gained popularity over the years even having 5 US presidents as members.
Unfortunately the phobia stuck and still remains a widely feared number. It is not uncommon for even businesses to react irrationally to the number. You may find yourself lost looking for row 13 at the theater just to discover that it is missing, or maybe you go to the elevator and see it skips straight from 12 to 14. Even airports quietly omit gate 13 on occasion.
A Bakers Dozen:
According to folklore, a witch in New York used to demand 13 baked goods whenever she visited the towns bakery. One day, when the baker could not afford to toss in an extra treat, the witch supposedly cursed the baker with bad luck. It wasn't until he brought the witch another 13 rolls that things changed and he broke the curse. Believe it or not, the custom is still sometimes practiced today.
The Tarot Card Number 13
Tarot card 13 is known as the death card, which is illustrated as the Grim Reaper. Though the image is normally associated with death, things are not as bad as they may seem. Don't worry too much if the death card shows up in your future, it is meant to signify a change which could just as easily be positive.
Off With His Head:
It is said that there are 13 stairs leading to the gallows, the blade in a guillotine fell from a height of 13 feet and a hangman has 13 knots in a hangman's noose. Just in case walking to your death was not bad enough, here is some extra bad luck along the way.
Unlucky Friday:
Fridays in general have their own stigma. In several cultures Friday is simply considered an unlucky day. This is more so true within nautical folklore, for example; in sailing superstition it is unlucky to begin a voyage on a Friday. Friday is also considered an unfavorable day for sowing seeds. Even inThe Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day begin new projects.
Now having a Friday that also falls on the 13th is a double whammy! Popular culture has fed on people's superstitions by way of movies and books creating even more stigma. If you make it through today unscathed don't put away the 4 leaf clover just yet! You have 1 more Friday the 13th in 2013 in December!
