Nice misty views of the surrounding Tatoosh Range. A bit of rain on the return to reflection lakes. A pretty easy summit that would be even better with a view of Rainier.

Officials warn of real dangers
Even scarier than anything a dedicated neighbor displays for Halloween is the possibility of an accident.
That, at least, is the message being pushed this week by various medical, law enforcement and public safety groups, which warn that hordes of excited children being out on the street at night is always cause for caution.
"Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment, and following some common-sense practices can keep events safer and more fun," Lee County Sheriff Tracy Carter said in a recent post on his blog. "... The major dangers are not from witches or spirits, but rather from falls and pedestrian/car crashes."
The official trick-or-treat hours in Sanford are 6-9 p.m. tonight.
Carter said trick-or-treaters should walk and not run; that parents should make sure children eat before going out and bring home candy for inspection before eating it; that young children should have a piece of paper with their parents' phone number and address in case they get lost, and that parents should either go with their kids or at least know the older trick-or-treaters leading the group.
Sanford Police Capt. Jason Hendley said the department generally fields a fairly normal amount of calls on Halloween, although the number of calls and complaints related to pranks and vandalism does tend to skyrocket. Officers will be on patrol looking for suspicious groups, he said.
"Of course, we get the usual mischief, with people egging houses and cars, TP-ing trees, things like that," Hendley said. "But we've got a good relationship with the local merchants. If they see some kids buying four-dozen eggs, they'll call us and let us know to keep an eye out."
Hendley also said parents should make sure their children are responsible and well behaved, which will cut down on the chance of accidents. He added that he has never heard of a trick-or-treater getting hit by a car in Sanford, but that it could happen — especially if children are in dark clothing with no flashlights, and running in the street.
"We've been very lucky," Hendley said. "I can't remember a kid ever being hit — for a very long time, at least."
A press release from Doctors Express Urgent Care Centers warns that children are twice as likely to be killed by a vehicle while walking on Halloween than on any other night of the year, so it suggests glow-in-the-dark costumes or accessories if possible. And noting that more than half of Halloween traffic fatalities involve an impaired driver, the group also urges people to have designated drivers if they're going to drink.
Hendley, though, said that one advantage of Halloween falling on a weeknight is that there probably won't be as many drunk drivers on the road when children are out.
"A lot of the Halloween parties occurred last weekend," he said. "Of course, we're always on the lookout for drunk drivers, but we're not expecting it to be a huge problem this year."
The N.C. Department of Transportation also released its own safety tips, emphasizing the importance of caution and awareness for everyone — drivers, parents and children.
Parents should help their kids set up a route to follow and make sure they know traffic rules, the department advised. And trick-or-treaters should stay on sidewalks or at least on the left side so they can face traffic instead of having cars come up from behind them.
Finally, according to the department, drivers should drive slowly in residential areas, keeping an eye out for children in dark clothes darting out into the street.
The urgent care group also said that other than traffic accidents, accidental stabbings, eye injuries and especially scrapes and bruises from falls are quite common on Halloween — and that the risk of fire can't be underestimated either.
"Pumpkins with candles inside are decorative for sure, but they're a real fire hazard," the medical group said. "Imagine the danger when children dressed in flowing ghost and princess outfits walk up your steps, knock over that pumpkin and catch their costume on fire. Replace real flame candles with battery-operated candles."
The National Crime Foundation, for its part, encourages people to always have children supervised by an adult, or at least a responsible teenager, no matter where they go trick-or-treating, and to use other common-sense strategies.
"Only approach homes that are well-lit, both inside and out; instruct children never to enter a home without parental permission," the council said in a statement, also adding: "Younger children should always be accompanied all the way to the door of the home when trick-or-treating."
The group also suggested that people avoid homes of sex offenders when planning their trick-or-treating routes. Lists and maps of registered offenders can be found at alertid.com — a private business the crime foundation is partnered with — or at sexoffender.ncdoj.gov/search.aspx.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well!
I posted a couple days ago regarding my situation and to also introduce myself. Since then my doctor started me on blood pressure medication. My blood pressure is still elevated, high 130s to 140s/98-102. With a spike once a day in the 150s/100s. My normal blood pressure is 120/80. I am very concerned with my Bp and developing PE again.
My question is should I consult a MFM? I have never heard of an MFM until this forum so that is new to me. What is an MFM and what will they do different then your gynocologist? I looked at the hospitals website that I will be delivering my baby and they do have MFM.

Animal Planet's 'Finding Bigfoot' show features VermontBy Courtney Parker
Correspondent | November 16,2012
Provided photo Cast members of the show, "Findign Bigfoot" are shown in this image from Animal Planet.The infamous legend of Bigfoot has left people puzzled for years as they ponder the validity or myth surrounding the creature.
Now, Rutland, along with the state of Vermont, is getting in on the action as Animal Planet showcases peculiar findings possibly linking Bigfoot to the Vermont area in one of its ''Finding Bigfoot'' segments.
The Sasquatch hunting team hit Vermont in early April to begin its investigation, holding a town hall meeting allowing locals to share their Bigfoot encounter stories.
Among the group was Rutland's Jules Peteani who went with his family to meet the crew and listen to locals relay their personal experiences.
"I find it very interesting," he said, speaking of the myth.
Peteani believes the Vermont region would make for a desirable habitat if the creature did exist and even admitted that he and his family took to the woods for their own squatch search.
"We had a lot of fun."
The Vermont segment will be featured in this Sunday's episode titled "Mother Bigfoot" as part of the second season ''Finding Bigfoot'' series.
"Finding Bigfoot," which has been on the air since May 2011, consists of four researchers who travel around the globe in search of the infamous Sasquatch.
The crew journeys to various points based on reported eyewitnesses and collective evidence to launch their own investigations, all in hopes of catching a glimpse of Bigfoot.
This fall's season kicked off Nov. 11 and is scheduled to run regularly on Sunday nights.
"Central Vermont is 'squatchy' as our team would say, meaning it provides the appropriate habitat, wildlife, and natural conditions that they typically find bigfoot sightings," said the show's post-production producer Alison Caraotta, explaining why Vermont was highlighted as a hot spot for possible squatch activity.
This Sunday's episode, beginning at 10 p.m., highlights the team's venture through Vermont and the special investigation of a local man's photograph of what may be a Sasquatch carrying her baby.
Locals can judge for themselves based on the team's in-depth analysis of the picture during the show, as well as the rest of their findings from the Vermont forests.
As far as Peteani is concerned, the legend of Bigfoot will continue to live on, allowing people to judge for themselves whether they choose to believe or not.
He and his family plan to watch Sunday's show in hopes of finding more clarification on the subject.
"I don't not believe," said Peteani, joking about the myth of the Sasquatch.
"But I'm a believer in the possibility."MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in... Full StoryWas the response to an alleged assault at College of St. Full Story

Martinsville, VA. (April 8th, 2013) – Perseverance was the key to a top-10 finish in Martinsville for Greg Biffle and the 3M team. After starting 22nd and racing just inside the top 20 for most of the race, the team continued to make adjustments and Biffle continued to drive the 3M Ford to the limit. The result was a ninth-place finish, Biffle's second-best finish ever at the Virginia short-track. He is now sixth in the Sprint Cup point standings.
"Our car was way too tight and we had to keep working on it," said Biffle. "We made an adjustment with the track bar to try and turn better, but it didn't work out for me. It was a pretty hard-fought day. I'm pretty happy about a top-10."
Biffle took the green flag from the outside of the 11th row. Starting and restarting on the outside line would plague him for the majority of the race. He was able to drive up into the top 15 early in the race but fell back and eventually went a lap down with an ill-handling racecar.
Just before halfway, Biffle was able to get his lap back by being in the "Lucky Dog" position and began to fight his way back into the top 20. Biffle was running 14th when Kurt Busch made contact with the outside wall and the front end of his car burst into flames. The incident brought out a brief red flag with only 13 laps remaining. When racing resumed, Biffle restarted eighth and was able to hold on for ninth when the checkered flag dropped.
"We were going to be better than that, but we're just not living right," said Biffle. "If you look at all of the restarts today, we started on the bottom only twice. That's where all of our track position went. We drove to 10th and would start on the outside and then get back in line 16th or 17th. We did that a lot, where we had to restart on the outside and that just killed us. There was no outside groove whatsoever and that really hurt on the restarts. Everybody really wanted the bottom, but we still finished in the top-10, so I'm pretty happy about that."
Jimmie Johnson took the win and the points lead with his victory in the STP Gas Booster 500. Clint Bowyer finished second followed by Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Busch. The Sprint Cup Series heads to the heart of Texas next weekend for a Saturday night showdown at the 1.5-mile oval where Biffle is the defending race winner.

Notes from the Nest: Cardinals vs. Lions
Have a question or comment for Adam? Feel free to post it here or tweet Adam at @theAdamGreen
Game over
Cardinals win 38-10. Yeah, Cardinals win. With 38 points. Losing streak over. Happy locker room today folks.
:12 seconds left in fourth quarter
Zastudil punts and the ball rolls out at the Detroit 24.
2:27 left in fourth quarter
Campbell gets a sack, the Lions fold, the Lions punt. Cardinals take over at their own 36.
3:32 left in fourth quarter
Beanie Wells runs 31-yards for the score, and the Cards are...dare we say...piling it on. 38-10.
3:52 left in fourth quarter
Stafford sacked on fourth down, Cardinals take over at the Lions 29.
5:07 left in fourth quarter
The Lions put together a good drive and even score a touchdown, but the play is nullified by a delay of game penalty. A third-and-seven attempt comes up short, and a fourth-and-two pass is picked off by Greg Toler, who takes the ball 102-yards for the touchdown.
Cardinals up 31-10 and this one is over, folks.
9:26 left in fourth quarter
Cardinals go...surprise...three-and-out, and punt the ball away. Detroit has it at the 13.
11:30 left in fourth quarter
Patrick Peterson left the game with cramps, but the Lions do not take advantage and go three-and-out. A hold on the return will push Arizona back to its own 24.
12:34 left in fourth quarter
Cardinals go three-and-out and punt away, though this time Zastudil's kick lands in the end zone for a touchback. Lions begin their drive at the 20.
14:45 left in fourth quarter
Peterson returns the punt 15 yards and the Cardinals have it at their own 49. First play is a Suh sack of Lindley.
15:00 left in fourth quarter
Lions are short of the first and will have to punt, giving Arizona great field position with which they'll probably do nothing. Let's see if Peterson can make something happen on this return, I think he's due.
1:05 left in third quarter
Cardinals get a couple first downs but the drive stalls, and Zastudil punts. Lions have at their own eight.
4:01 left in third quarter
Stephens-Howling gets a good return out of little room, and Arizona will start its drive from the 30.
4:11 left in third quarter
Lions put together a solid drive with help from a big play from Calvin Johnson, but ultimately settle for a 41-yard field goal from Jason Hanson.
Cards up 24-10 and are probably one good drive away from putting this one away.
9:19 third quarter
Lions start at their 20. They kind of need something positive to happen here or they are in danger of being run out of the building by the Cardinals oh wow I can't believe I just typed that.
9:19 left in third quarter
The kick is good, and the Cardinals now lead 24-7. Their eight-play, 30-yard scoring drive nearly doubles the yardage total for the day. How about that.
9:24 left in third quarter
Cardinals drive down the field but come up short on third down. Cardinals send Jay Feely out to attempt a 51-yard field goal, but David Carter is late getting onto the field and Arizona burns a timeout.
12:47 left in third quarter
Cardinals defense comes up big, especially Calais Campbell. That guy is having a monster game.
Punt is returned to the Arizona 37.
Can the Cardinals offense, which gained 41 net yards in the first half, do something?
15:00 left in third quarter
Lions will start the second half with the ball on their own 20. Big drive here if only to set the tone.
The Cardinals enter the half up 21-7 due in no part to the offense's effort. Defense and special teams have stepped up today, which is how this team won early in the season.
Lions QB Matt Stafford has been terrible.
:30 left in second quarter
Stafford is picked off by Rashad Johnson, who takes the ball back 53-yards for the score. Arizona is up 21-7 now, and it seems they have fond the recipe for success:
Incredibly short fields + defensive score.
1:19 left in second quarter
Lions pick up a first down to keep their drive alive, and they have the ball at their own 41 facing a second and six. Points here at the end of the half would be big for the visitors, especially since they get the ball to start the second half.
3:16 left in second quarter
Beanie Wells plows into the end zone on a one-yard run, and the Cardinals take the lead.
Two scoring drives totaling just 8 yards. That's one way to do it.
3:57 left in second quarter
A pair of false starts back the Lions up, then Stafford throws deep and is picked off by Peterson. He returns it to the Detroit three, where Arizona will take over.
4:10 left in second quarter
Three-and-out. Yep.
Punt pins the Lions at their own seven.
6:25 left in second quarter
Defense gets a stop and the Lions punt. Peterson fair catches the ball at the Arizona 19, where the drive will start. Last time the offense had the ball it scored a TD, but that was just a five-yard drive. They've gone aout that far on most other drives today.
9:09 left in second quarter
Lions return kick to the 26, and some pushing and shoving after the play goes unflagged.
9:18 left in second quarter
Beanie Wells takes the handoff up the middle and scores, though the ball came loose and was originally ruled Lions ball. Then touchdown. Then reviewed. Still touchdown.
It's Arizona's first TD since the Rams game a few weeks ago, and we're all tied up in Glendale.
9:29 left in the second quarter
Well played, Cardinals.
Arizona picks up a first down but then the drive stalls, and Zastudil (the player of the game, by the way), punts away. The ball is muffed and recovered by the Cardinals.
Refs rule first that the ball was touched by Arizona, and thus Detroit ball. Then, after "consultation", they decide it belongs to Arizona. First and goal from the 5.
Now the play is under review.
12:44 left in second quarter
Kickoff is returned to the Arizona 21, where the Cardinals' next three-and-out will begin from.
12:51 left in second quarter
Lions cap 73-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run from Mikel Leshoure. Detroit takes a 7-0 lead. Anyone else get the feeling that will be enough for the Lions to win?
End of first quarter
The opening frame ends with the Lions driving and the score tied at 0.
Not really much more to add to that, sorry.
2:55 left in first quarter
Have yourself a day, Dave Zastudil! The Cards go...shocker...three-and-out, and the punt is downed at the Detroit 12.
A personal foul on Mike Adams gives the the Lions 15 yards, so they'll start at the 27.
4:33 left in first quarter
Lions go three-and-out an d punt the ball away.
Amazing how a game between a pair of 4-9 teams could be as bad as this one is thus far. Amazing.
5:38 left in first quarter
In a shocker, the Cardinals go three-and-out. Zastudil's punt is fair caught at the Detroit 20.
7:48 left in first quarter
Cardinals D steps up once again and forces a punt. Peterson returns it to the Arizona 16, where Lindley and the offense will take over.
Worth noting, Arizona Sports' Vince Marotta commented that Ryan Lindley is the worst QB he's ever seen play for the Cardinals. We all know the team's history at the position -- and it's bad -- but is Vince wrong?
8:51 left in first quarter
Lindley's first pass is picked off by DeAndre Levy. Lions take over at their own 48. Sounds about right.
8:59 left in first quarter
Lions take a shot to Calvin Johnson but it's broken up by Patrick Peterson, then a third-down pass falls to the turf and the Lions punt. Peterson gets an OK return, and the Cards start at the Detroit 43. Progress, ladies and gentlemen. Progress...
9:56 left in first quarter
A screen pass doesn't get the job done, but Zastudil gets a good punt away and the Lions will take over at their own nine. If this is anything like last week, this drive will end in a touchdown. Let's see if the D bounces back.
10:49 left in first quarter
The Cardinals moved the ball down the field with successful passes to different receivers and good runs by a trio of backs. However, they've gone backwards on a couple plays now, and face a 3rd and 35 from the Detroit 41.
15:00 left in first quarter
Kick sails into the end zone, and the Ryan Lindley-led offense will start at the Arizona 20.
1:00 until kickoff
The Lions win the toss and elect to kick. For some reason they want the Cardinals' offense on the field first.
8:00 until kickoff
The Cardinals are being introduced to the "sellout" crowd here at University of Phoenix Stadium. I'm eating a delicious cupcake.

Johnny Knorr Orchestra takes to airwaves in new TV specialWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"Thanks for the Memory."
That's the name of the special airing on Buckeye CableSystem Channel 58 for multiple showings on New Year's Eve and Day. It features a performance by Johnny Knorr Orchestra. Founded by the late, legendary bandleader and now headed by his son, Jerry, the orchestra has presented classic, soul-stirring music for more than 50 years.
The televised concert was taped in June at Hansen Hall of Christ Presbyterian Church and emceed by Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller. It can be seen as a way for fans of the band's classic style to celebrate its legacy and thank the group for decades of wonderful memories. But also, Jerry hopes, it will provide new fans with the first of many wonderful memories to come.
"It really started out, I realized there was a lot of memories of the orchestra's 53 years, for most of the orchestra and for the audience," Knorr said. "And I chose to title the concert at Christ Presbyterian Church 'Thanks for the Memory.' And some of the unique things about that was there are several families that we've played for three generations of the family —for their parties, weddings, anniversaries and special events.
"And also, there's a family of musicians that we've had three generations of the musicians play in the band. And while we're on the threes, I guess I should mention I'm a third-generation musician, myself — not just my father, but my grandfather played piano for the silent movies."
But there are challenges for any group over time, especially a group with more than a half-century of history behind it, especially in an era where that thrilling big-band sound seems — superficially, at least — to be out of style. Early in 2013, Jerry Knorr found himself, and his family's legacy, at a crossroads.
For decades, a tradition for the Johnny Knorr Orchestra had been its big New Year's Eve gala. "In recent years, due in part to the economy, and the fact that people were just not going out as much as they used to, crowds started to dwindle somewhat," said Michael Shaw, owner of American Restrospects, a company that specializes in multimedia presentations of classic material.
"I was having lunch with Jerry Knorr, I guess it was this past spring, and he had announced to me that he had decided not to have the annual gala," Shaw said. "And I understood why — I mean, it was a lot of work, and it was costing money rather than making a few dollars. So, I suggested to him to put together a television show that might even reach a broader audience. So he concurred with that, and over a period of a couple months, the idea began to develop."
"It was just becoming where, financially, it wasn't … feasible to do it anymore," Knorr said of the gala. "And so Michael thought that this program would be good to air on television on New Year's Eve in place of the gala that we normally did."
Knorr said for the dozen musicians and two singers who make up the orchestra, the energy present during the recording at Christ Presbyterian was tremendous — but then, performing in front of an audience always is.
"It's always exciting performing for a live audience and getting the live response," he noted. "That's always an exciting and enthusiastic time. … Whenever there's the live audience, that's when it's most enjoyable, in creating an energy with the musicians."
Jerry has had a lifetime of experience preparing for such moments. Ever since he took over the orchestra that bears his father's name, the younger Knorr has led the group with a smooth confidence and style that lets you know he is his father's son. But he admits he has always felt a pressure associated with the position — a position he was groomed for from a young age by a father who was very, very painstaking about how his son learned music.
"Dad was a very particular taskmaster, and was very particular about things. And he made resources available to me, but was very specific on how they were utilized and how I tried to understand them," Knorr said. "He was a difficult person to please in that respect, and it made it hard for me. But in hindsight, it has all been better."
His father's firm guidance extended into Jerry's first days as the Johnny Knorr Orchestra's new bandleader.
"Really, I started leading the orchestra, five, six years ago, when Dad was physically not capable of fronting the band. He still played in the band, so his eye was right there upon me, to see that things were done in the proper fashion. And so it was a heavy weight to do things the way he wanted or expected them to be done.
"So by the time he was no longer being able to be a part of the band, I was pretty well groomed into his philosophies and his way of doing things."
So as the Johnny Knorr Orchestra takes the airwaves on New Year's Eve — in celebration of memories old and new — the guidance of its namesake and founder will still be very much in evidence. But it will be his son holding the baton and leading the group into a new year — and maybe, into the sight of a new generation of fans.
"Some of the musicians will sometimes think, 'Well, we're playing the same things time after time.' But I believe it was Tony Bennett one time that was asked, [why] he does do the same concerts with very little change. And he says, 'When you have something that's good, don't change it.'"

Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times has a heartrending story today about underage prostitutes who are pimped out on Backpage.com, a website with roots in the swinging personal ads that have appeared at the back of the Village Voice since the 1960s.
Kristof describes how a 13-year-old he calls Baby Face was advertised on Backpage and repeatedly raped by older johns. He quotes Brooklyn prosecutor Lynn Hersh as saying "Backpage is a great vehicle for pimps trying to sell girls." He notes that Craigslist got out of the business after public protests and pressure from state attorneys general.
It's all true — except Craigslist hasn't really gotten out of the business and Backpage isn't the best place to run an illegal enterprise, at least if you want to keep your business secret from the cops. The company, a unit of Village Voice Media, says it takes credit card numbers for all ads, including free personals, and responds to subpoenas within hours.
It is true Craigslist got rid of its "Adult Services" advertising category in September 2010, but that doesn't mean prostitutes and pimps aren't still using the site. Type in this Google search if you're curious: site:craigslist.org inurl:cas roses. "Roses" is code for "dollars" in the world of Internet prostitution, and you get more than 20,000 listings by people who seem to be talking about sex and money in Craigslist personals. Want to find more professionals quick? Search for "Asian massage" on Google, or "site:facebook.com escorts new york." I'm not saying they're all prostitutes, but chances are there are more than few among the legitimate escort agencies and massage parlors that advertise online.
Kristof notes that attorneys general of 48 states sent a letter to Backpage last August accusing the company of being a "hub" for child sex trafficking activity. Investigators identified hundreds of prostitution ads and reported that "nearly naked persons in provocative positions are pictured in nearly every adult services advertisement." As opposed to Craigslist personals like this one and this one (warning: explicit).
It's curious that the AGs are targeting Backpage, which they say earns some $22.7 million a year from adult personals. Yes, Backpage makes money from randy ads — parent Village Voice been doing that for decades — but it's also the online equivalent of a European red-light district, contained and easily monitored by the police. A Backpage executive who spoke on condition of anonymity told me the company has 123 moderators reviewing the content of ads to try and identify ads for underage prostitution.
Since posters also supply credit-card numbers, it isn't hard in most cases for police to track down who places those ads. (The advertiser in the Kristof case wrote a plain-vanilla personal ad for "labor day weekend fun" with a 21-year-0ld, but his credit card number allowed him to be quickly identified, Backpage says.) The Backpage executive said the company responds to about 100 subpoenas a month, and dispatched an employee to testify before a grand jury called by the Brooklyn prosecutor Hersh as recently as September.
Backpage has taken a defiant tone with the AGs and prosecutors who accuse it of aiding prostitution. The company was recently blamed for prostitute killings in Detroit but Backpage showed that the victims had advertised on at least 15 other sites and there was no evidence the killer had relied on Backpage to find the victims. Its executives are quick to supply the links and Internet code words that show just how ubiquitous Internet prostitution really is. (Try searching for "BBBJ" or "talent gigs" and lots more action pops up.) While Craigslist and other sites have discouraged the use of phone numbers, advertisers simply spell them out or place them in photographs; Google the numbers and you'll see they are often for dubious-looking escort services. Many of those even have explicit Google reviews.
Kristof acknowledges "there's some risk that pimps will migrate to new Web sites," but it seems obvious they never left. So when the AGs declared victory over Craigslist in 2008, it may have been a little premature.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with trying to shut down the vigorous market for human flesh. It's equivalent to targeting child pornography: Eliminate the producers of this ghastly product and the exploitation will diminish.
But the choice of targets is curious. Especially when one of the leaders of the effort is Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna. Not only is Washington home to Microsoft, whose Bing search engine and software helps power the Internet prostitution business. McKenna's s official bio also notes he practiced business and regulatory law at Perkins Coie from 1988 to 1996. Among the law firm's many clients is Craigslist, which it successfully defended in a 2009 case by the Cook County Sheriff accusing Craigslist of facilitating prostitution.

Thread nuking in 5....4....3....2...1.....
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."

By now, you have probably realized that your preschooler is learning something new daily. The constant questions of "why" and "how come" have become a part of your family's regular conversation, and you have likely googled something your child asked because you weren't quite sure of the answer yourself. Your child is in prime learning time; your response to and encouragement of this desire to learn will shape how he or she views education in the future. No pressure, right?
Educational Insights wants to help you and your child along this journey by offering the best educational toys that support your little one's growing love for learning. We have some of the best toy inventors in the business. Experienced educators and parents, they have been teaching early childhood and helping little minds form. We are confident that our Hot Dots® Jr. system will get you and your preschooler excited about school and ready to learn foundational skills.
Meet our Hot Dots® Jr. mascot, the blue dog Ace. He is an interactive pen that makes our workbooks a little more interesting. Your little one will learn how to correctly hold the pen (hooray for fine motor skill development!), and will press the pen to our workbooks or cards to hear Ace. Depending on what you are working on, Ace might name a letter, give a letter's sound, or offer a word of encouragement or redirection. Your little one is sure to love getting Ace out and hearing what he has to say. It is a wonderful learning tool that is unplugged and will get your preschooler away from the screen of a tablet, phone, or television.
The Ace pen works great at home or in a classroom. Purchase one Ace pen and it will work with all of our Hot Dots® Jr. books and cards.
Now that you have met Ace, you can put him into action with any of our workbooks or cards. You have choices to find just the right combination of skills to work on with your preschooler.

"Opposites attract," says John Schlimm, author of Grilling Vegan Style (Da Capo, 2012). "When that steel or cast iron grill with a flame meets beautiful fruits, it just becomes something incredible," he says. Grilling causes the sugars in fruit to caramelize, creating new smoky concoctions that remind you how decadent, yet low-calorie and chock-full of vitamins, fruit can be.
"Grilling fruit is such a simple process," Schlimm says. But he does have a few tips for fruit-grilling newbies. Always brush whatever fruits you're grilling with a little bit of olive oil. "The oil adds another element to the flavor profile," he says, and it keeps fruits from sticking to your grill grates. He also suggests starting to grill your fruit over indirect heat, which isn't as intense as a direct flame or hot coals. Finally, don't "set it and forget it." Fruit doesn't take long to grill, so stick close to your grill and keep a close eye on it. All that being said, fruit is easy to grill, he says, and here are the best ways to get started!
Few people think to grill watermelon, Schlimm says, but it's one of his favorite grillable fruits. He tosses it with arugula and a balsamic dressing to make a watermelon salad. Leave the rind on or off. It's up to you, he says. Just keep a close eye on it. Watermelon's high water content can cause hot water to spew out and burn you, if you're not careful. By the same token, let your watermelon rest for a few minutes to cool off before you dig in.

Peaches, plums, and even apricots make perfect grill companions, as do all other stone fruits. They're more delicate, Schlimm says, so leave the skins on and then peel them afterwards (or just leave the peels on). There are few summer desserts tastier than grilled peaches with ice cream, but they also pair well with grilled pork tenderloin, chicken, or steak. Schlimm adds them to a salsa that includes red onion and jalapeños.

When it comes to grilling fruit, peaches and exotic tropical fruits, such as pineapple, get most of the love. But if pie-eating has taught us anything, it's that apples become exponentially more delicious when cooked. And they're even better on the grill, where the heat softens and sweetens the fruit from the outside.

Think you can't grill berries? Stick 'em on a skewer and watch them melt into grilled perfection. "With strawberries, that grilled smoky flavor plays so well with the sweet strawberry taste," he says. His favorite party trick: At your next barbecue, set out bowls of strawberries and other fruits you like and let your guests make their own fruit kabobs that they grill themselves. Each kabob takes about 7 minutes to grill completely.

Learn how to crack open a coconut, and you'll have the most unique, but easiest, dessert you've ever grilled. Schlimm's suggestion: Once you've cracked your coconut, grill it, white side down, until the white flesh turns a golden brown. When it's ready, carefully scrape the flesh away from the shell with a knife, then dip that in melted chocolate. Schlimm prefers vegan chocolate sauce, but if you're not vegan, a good organic dark chocolate, like Equal Exchange, works too. "It's simple, simple," he says.

If you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary, grill figs and add them to your ice cream, or even wrap them in prosciutto and serve them as appetizers. Select figs that are ripe but firm; if they're overripe, they won't hold their shape when subjected to a grill's high heat.

Grilled banana split? Absolutely. Cut a banana in half lengthwise, leaving each half in the peel. Coat the cut sides with brown sugar, and grill them for about 3 minutes each side (you don't want them to get mushy). Pop the bananas out into a bowl, top with ice cream and chocolate sauce, and you've got the perfect summer dessert.

Not many people think to cook cantaloupe, let alone grill it, Schlimm writes in his book. But he says the grilling process deepens the melon flavors. You can cut a cantaloupe into thick cubes you place on skewers. Either way, once you try it, you'll want to repeat it all melon season.

Each Pas de Rouge is an original ensemble where the elements of classic shoe making (the lining, the quarter, the tongue, the sock-lining, the upper…) cohabit with latest generation high tech materials. Special high density rubber soles are able to absorb 50% of vibrations, the shape of the heels is laser-cut from innovative materials that guarantee maximum lightness and resistance. The hides are all of top quality, specially selected for their softness and elasticity. All together, these to produce a soft and enveloping shoe that fits like a glove. After being perfectly shaped, the lining and the insole are sewn one by one to the upper. As when making a tailor-made suit, the different layers are stretched and aligned during the whole sewing phase, creating an elastic synergy and giving shape and structure to the shoe. This results in a flexible architecture that underlines the hides' natural qualities of softness and resistance. This is the secret of a fit that supports and welcomes the foot step after step.
Pas de Rouge originates from the idea of combining one of the most conventional footwear manufacturing processing, "sacchetto" (slip lasting), with feminine and modern design. These two ideas stitch together in every Pas de Rouge shoe: the refined choice of leathers and ultra-light materials and the passion for beauty through comfort. The result is a shoe that seduces the eye and enchants the foot, comfortable to wear with elegant lightness, all day long.

I have to admit I'm writing this expecting a lot of comments to come back noting that it's pretty hard to get this holiday done when spawn points on the eggs are camped 24/7. For my part, I vastly underestimated how much of a nuisance that was going to be on the live realms. That aside, Noblegarden does seem to be one of the more efficient holidays, particularly if you get lucky with item drops, and I think this is also the first time Blizzard's made it possible to get all the achievement items you need as purchases in the event that Lady Luck spends the week being an indifferent mistress. The ability to buy achievement items certainly settles what was by far the biggest complaint concerning Love Is In the Air. For that holiday, your ability to complete the meta-achievement was ultimately determined by the RNG, to the point where Blizzard hotfixed the drop rate on a key achievement item after the forums went kaboom.
This time around, you don't need to worry about that as long as you can get enough Noblegarden Chocolate. Time to knuckle down, plunk a frosty beverage at your side, and tell that jerk who's camping your spawn to go find his own friggin' eggs. Ahhhh, the holiday spirit!

In Kacer's line of work, he has to be ready for everything when it comes to the players he is in charge of keeping healthy. This season, the Wolves have gone through a number of injuries that required Kacer's attention. The more injuries occur, the busier his job gets.
"Right now, we have a lot going on and a lot of guys dealing with issues," Kacer said. "You never know what is going to happen. You just always have to be prepared. Hockey is a tough, physical, demanding game. People call it a contact sport. I call it a collision sport. Bodies are getting bigger, stronger and faster every year. Injuries happen. You just have to be ready for anything."
After a player suffers an injury, a timetable is set for his return. Leading up to that return date, the player will go through rehab or treatment sessions that Kacer oversees. He likes to get the players in for treatments around 8:30 a.m. so if they respond well, they can practice or participate in the morning skate. When treatments are done and practice starts, Kacer can never be too far away from the ice.
"Any time guys are on the ice, I have to be watching in case something happens," Kacer said. "I am always right there to be able to help a guy if he aggravates something or another injury occurs."
After practice, a few shorter treatment sessions will take place. These tend to take less time, as guys want to get out of the building quickly to get home and rest up if there is a game that night.
{gallery}/breakaway/0910/kacer:::1:0:{/gallery}He also is responsible for keeping and updating player injury logs, which he must do on a daily basis. With the team made up of players on both National Hockey League and American Hockey League contracts, he has two systems he must use.
"Being affiliated with the Thrashers, all of our Atlanta players are on a web-based injury reporting and monitoring system," Kacer explained. "All of my daily reports, injury reports and rehab follow ups have to be entered into the computer so the staff in Atlanta can monitor their players.
"The Wolves players are all done just by paperwork. It is a lot of record keeping, but the more detailed you get, the better off you will be in the long run. You can always look back and see how you handled something if a current player has the same type of injury."
Kacer has seen his share of injuries throughout the 15 years he has occupied the Wolves training office. Besides treating broken legs, cuts from skates and dealing with concussions, he has helped get players through a multitude of minor injuries.
"It is not just big-time injuries I deal with," said Kacer. "I've dealt with things as small as a paper cut. I have dealt with a guy who came in after tripping over a cement parking block. I have had to do laceration work at 3 a.m. I can't tell you how many times I have made calls to doctors or dentists for family members of players and scouts from out of town. People come to me for a lot of things."
Many of those things are medically related, but there are times when Kacer is looked to for answers that have nothing to do with health.
"I am a dad to a lot of these guys," Kacer said. "I joke saying that, but a lot of these guys have been away from home since they were 14, 15 years old. We have had guys come in here and not know how to start a checking account. I have had to show them how to write a check."
Wolves General Manager Wendell Young notices the impact Kacer has on his players on and off the ice.
"If you look around the AHL, you won't find many trainers or equipment managers with the tenure of our guys," said Young, who has worked with Kacer as a player, coach and now executive. "Kacer has been here for 15 years, so he is a full- service type guy. He is kind of the sounding board for players. He helps them feel comfortable off the ice and when that happens, we don't have to worry about that aspect going forward and it tends to help their play on the ice.
"I think that is what our team is all about. Everyone helps out and does tasks for the better of the team that may not strictly fall in the framework of his or her title, and Kacer definitely helps out in areas besides medical."
Kacer didn't know what to expect when he took the job with the Wolves but he now knows that he couldn't have asked for anything better. Looking back over his time with the team, Kacer points to the four championships as a high point, but one main theme sticks out to him and he admits it is something he didn't prepare for.
"The championships have been great, but being able to share my job with my family has been special," said Kacer. "You don't get that opportunity in most professions.
That is one of the greatest things about the Wolves; we don't look at ourselves as a team, we look at ourselves as a family. That is something I never saw coming."

As our welfare rolls grow a thought comes to mind as to where it will end and what might be the ultimate collapse of our nation in what was once predicted, "Not with a bang, but with a whimper."
We are approaching a crossover point where 50 percent of our nation is dependent on various government welfare programs funded by the working taxpayer and increasingly through deficit spending by the government. At some point taxes will have to increase as we approach national bankruptcy.
As those who labor and see their disposable income shrink through increasingly confiscatory taxation they will, sooner or later, realize they can receive more disposable income inside the welfare system than remaining in the labor force.
Better yet, they can relax, stay at home or on the streets with full leisure as long as they vote the proper party into office every few years, After all, remaining in office is the primary function of politicians. He who promises the most stays the longest.
Sooner or later the bills will come due as they always must. With the former taxpayers no longer earning tax money, but now only another drain on the treasury, the government will have to depend on deficit spending through borrowing. But that government is now a bad risk for the domestic lenders and they will simply transfer their holdings to more friendly fields overseas. In desperation the government might vote for powers to confiscate the private sector, but even that golden goose will dry up as the outgo exceeds the income.
That only leaves the international lenders, to whom we are already deeply indebted. They didn't make their wealth by making bad investment choices.
When they, the last resource, say no, what then?

Fort Pierce, FL – In the Hilbert College baseball trip to Florida, the Hawks came up empty, losing a battle against Rutgers-Camden, 3-1 on Sunday, March 11.
Sophomore Frank Mancuso had the one RBI double, scoring senior Chris Hoak who went 2-for-3 at the plate. Collectively, the Hawks had seven hits, with contributions from seniors Jim Pernick, Pat Lagueras, sophomore Joe Pernick and freshman Derek Mort.
Junior pitcher Garrett Pauly picked up the loss on the mound, pitching through six innings and tallying three strike-outs and one earned run.
The Hawks were scheduled to play a double-header against Rutgers-Camden, but a rain delay put those plans on hold. They will look to make-up the game while still in Florida. Their next scheduled game is for 10am on Monday, March 12 when they will play Delaware Valley College in a standard 9-inning game.
