breastfed 3month will go 2-3 days w/out any stool and then have a runny stool is this normal

This is totally normal. I breastfed all 3 of mine, and the two youngest would frequently go 10 days or more without having a bowel movement. I took them to the doctor because after a few days they would become increasingly fussy until they finally had a stool. They were NOT constipated and the doctor said that it is completely normal for breastfed babies to go for up to 2 weeks without a bowel movement because breastmilk is such an efficient food it just doesn't produce much waste. The fussiness was inconvenient, but they eventually grew out of it and now both are totally healthy and regular.posted 10/20/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Dont worry! It is normal for a baby to go without a movement for up to 12 days!! I was so worried when my baby had this happen to him... i took him to the doctor and was told that he wasnt constipated and that it is a normal breastfed baby thing to do. He looked bloated and a little uncomfortable but then day nine was like mount Vesuvious exploading! Needless to say he felt better afterwards. One thing the doctor did advise was that when the baby finally did do his poop, it would be a good idea to put a bit of vaseline around the anus so that the skin streching wouldnt hurt after not going for so long. So put some vaseline there in anticipation for the big 'exit'!.posted 11/08/2007 by memummy
My 3 month old baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 6 days. I took her to the doctor today and was given a rectal suppository. I told her that I've been checking out articles at babycenter and what the information I've read, breastfed babies can go for 2 weeks without bowel movement. She told me that I am wrong. I don't know who to believe. She also made me feel incompetent by saying that maybe I'm not feeding my daughter enough as I am small and slim. I breastfeed on demand.posted 10/29/2007 by jyotijen

Obese Kids & TV
July 6, 2006
Twice as many children and almost three times as many teens are overweight today compared to their counterparts growing up 20 years ago. Of particular concern is the amount of TV watching by children and the relationship to obesity. But the problem may rest on more than just the inactivity associated with watching. UT Health Center's Dr. Mom has a new view on the subject.

Dates: TBD
While full details have yet to be confirmed, the Stones are set to play at least two shows in London and two at Brooklyn's new Barclays Center this fall to celebrate their 50th anniversary. These will be their first concerts in over five years. Expect to pay an astronomical fortune for tickets, assuming you're lucky enough to get some during the initial on-sale – this is going to be a mad rush. But don't lose heart if you're shut out. It seems likely that more dates are probably on the way next year.

According to a Feb. 10 post from Bleacher Report, the results are in from tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.
The Feb. 10 episode of "Raw," which aired live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., featured a headlining bout that pitted WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton against John Cena, plus a series of key matchups that helped hype the upcoming "Elimination Chamber" pay-per-view event that goes down two weeks from now in Minneapolis, Minn.
WWE Monday Night Raw opened with The Big Show escorting Betty White out to the crowd, and she immediately announced that she planned to kick some major booty.
Seconds later, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon walked out to the ring, where they discussed possibly making Sheamus, John Cena or Daniel Bryan the new "Face of the WWE."
Bryan then made a surprise cameo by walking out to the ring while The Authority was speaking, and he immediately called out Kane.
He also said McMahon is "arrogant" and that Triple H is "stupid," so Randy Orton came out and defended both of them.
The Authority decided that Bryan was in an agitated state, so they opted to give him a well-deserved week off from wrestling.
After the first commercial break, a six-man tag-team bout went down that pitted The Wyatt Family against Rey Mysterio, Goldust and Cody Rhodes.
Goldust took a beating throughout the match, but the end came with Bray Wyatt pinning Mysterio.
Immediately after the bout, Wyatt sat down in his custom rocking chair, and said that he "welcomes a war" with The Shield.
As most WWE fans know by now, The Wyatt Family fights The Shield in two weeks at the "Elimination Chamber."
Later in the episode, NXE star Emma walked out to the ring with Santino Marella. Fandango, along with his partner Summer Rae, made their entrance shortly after.
Fandango danced his way to victory, pinning Marella after a ridiculous jump off the top rope.
Mark Henry, a former WWE world heavyweight champ, also made his grand return to the ring, one month after having his elbow dislocated by Brock Lesnar.
Here's a look at the full results for the Feb. 10 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw:
- The Wyatt Family def. Rey Mysterio, Goldust and Cody Rhodes
- Fandango def. Santino Marella
- Sheamus and Christian def. The Real Americans
- Randy Orton vs John Cena

Sieshun Con returns to Atlanta tomorrow and. continues through the weekend This is the fifth year for this anime convention which attracts a very enthusiastic young audience, mostly teens and 20's, and mostly cosplayers. The place will be awash with colorful costumes! There's a good chance you will see characters from every anime you've ever seen.
This year the event is taking place at the Westin Atlanta Airport location, moving from last year's Marietta Conference Center location.
Guests are not really the main emphasis at this conventions but include voice actors Ellyn Stern, Micah Solusod and Richard Epcar.There will be panels, videos, vendors and artists, and, of course, a costume contest.
The emphasis for the contest is on creativity, so DIY is the key here.
There will be plenty of opportunity to shop, watch anime, discuss your favorite shows, and win prizes at trivia and other contests.
Admission is $20 for 1 day or $30 for a 3-day pass. That is a lot of fun for not a lot of money!
Last year we attended this convention for the first time, and while we felt much older than we usually do among all those young people, we had a great time, and my husband dominated in trivia contests! We had not heard a lot of publicity for the convention and expected a small crowd, but it was surprisingly well-populated. It is obviously going to continue to grow as word spreads about it.
So put on the anime costume you love most or just come out and enjoy those that others have put together and get your anime fix for the summer at Seishun Con this weekend!

Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino a.k.a. Troy Barnes on Community a.k.a. the due who tweeted about two people having sex in a Bank of America, has a new album Camp out this September. To get us pumped and ready to spend our hard-earned dollars on his latest endeavor, Glover has released a 36-second teaser clip that quickly runs through everything he's good at: rapping, rope swinging, eating and chilling with Abed. The video also features Glover's new song, which he premiered at San Diego's Comic-Con over the weekend and possesses the ferocity of Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot," as well shots of him performing alongside Reggie Watts, as well as close-ups on those surprisingly bulging back muscles that should have been reason enough for producers to take his Spider-Man campaign a little more seriously. And if you, like us, have been missing his presence on your Twitter timeline, Glover has credited his absence to obligatory studio work for Camp, which we guess we can forgive. It's a quick turnaround for a new musical project considering his last mixtape EP came out in March, but being the work of the ultimate multi-tasker and overachiever (filming for Glover's day job on Community season three just got underway yesterday; Glover was one of the youngest 30 Rock writers on staff) this sounds about right.

College Hockey:Colonials Keep It Rolling With Weekend Sweep of Alabama-Huntsville
Longpre , Kushneriuk and Lewis lead the way with two points each
NEVILLE ISLAND, Pa. — In yet another hotly contested conference showdown, the Robert Morris Colonials managed to get four pucks past Alabama-Huntsville goaltender Cameron Talbot en route to a 4-2 win, completing a weekend conference sweep for the first time since February 2009.
The Colonials used two point nights apiece from their top scorers, forwards Chris Kushneriuk, Nathan Longpre and Trevor Lewis. Colonials' goaltender Brooks Ostergard continued his stellar play with 18 saves on 20 Chargers' shots.
The game started out in a completely different manner than Friday night's contest, with the Colonials garnering the bulk of the first period scoring chances. Robert Morris used their speed to their advantage and consistently were the first team on the puck throughout the first frame, earning three power play chances in the period.
The Chargers however, used a textbook perfect penalty kill, clogging shooting and passing lanes left and right, and their best penalty killer, Talbot, was very much in the game early on, stopping all 14 Colonials' shots.
The second period started off in bizarre fashion when, at the :44 second mark, Chargers' forward Sebastian Geoffrion laid a bone crunching check on Colonials' captain Dave Cowan, shattering a pane of glass near the penalty boxes, causing a delay of nearly 35 minutes. When the dust had settled and play resumed, the Colonials seemed to be the different team.
At the 4:08 mark of the second period, Kushneriuk finished off a three-on-two rush, unleashing a shot which managed to get behind Talbot, putting the Colonials in the driver's seat with assists from Longpre and Zach Hervato. The Chargers almost evened the score during a Colonials' power play just moments later when Matt Baxter was stoned on a short-handed breakaway by Ostergard near the six minute mark of the second.
From that moment on, the Chargers tilted the ice in their favor, finding all sorts of prime scoring chances and outworking the Colonials. Their fortunes looked bright when they were awarded a five-on-three man advantage for 37 seconds at 17:01. when Colonials' defenseman James Lyle was sent to the box for roughing. However, they could not dent the twine. as Ostergard made a spectacular glove save on Chargers' forward Matti Jarvinen from close range, stopping the best scoring chance for Alabama-Huntsville during the power play.
The Colonials seemed to be in the driver's seat going into the third period for the second night in a row until Chargers' forward Keenen Desmet netted his second goal on the weekend, putting in a rebound at 19:09 of the second, giving the Chargers an extra lift going into the final stanza, and setting the stage for yet another thrilling finish.
The Colonials however, had other ideas. Just 20 seconds into the third, Longpre found a loose puck in neutral ice which he converted into a breakaway, beating Talbot with a shot at the last possible moment, giving his team the lead back.
Robert Morris then took to dominating the rest of the game, spending an eternity in the Chargers' end, not giving their opponent even the slimmest amount of time with the puck.
Colonials' freshman Andrew Blazek gave his side some much needed insurance at 7:49 of the third, finishing off a hard working shift and beating Talbot with a low shot from close in to put the Colonials in front by two with less than 13 minutes to play. Ron Cramer added another tally at 17:09 with assists from Denny Urban and Brandon Blandina.
The Chargers made the score closer when forward Chris Fairbanks beat Ostergard on a rebound at 19:42, but it was too little too late for Alabama-Huntsville, who fell to the College Hockey America basement with the loss.
"That was a pretty complete hockey game on our part," said Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley. "That third period might have been our best period of the year; we kept getting pucks deep and they couldn't get anything going. I'm just really pleased with this weekend; we couldn't have written a better script, It's been an emotional two weeks."
The Colonials travel to Hamilton, N.Y. next weekend for a series with Colgate while Huntsville will enjoy their first home weekend series since November, as they entertain conference foe Niagara.

College Hockey:Hanowski Rallies Beavers To Draw With Falcons
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Bemidji State rallied from a 2-0 deficit, scoring single goals in the second and third periods to pick up a 2-2 tie with the Air Force Falcons Saturday at John Glas Fieldhouse. Nonetheless, the tie dropped BSU out of first place in the College Hockey America standings, one point behind Wayne State.
The teams played an even first period, with BSU holding a 9-8 advantage in shots on net, but Air Force capitalized on its opportunities and at the first intermission held a 2-0 lead. Derek Olson got the Falcons on the board just 37 seconds into the game, scoring his third goal of the season with assists from Tom Starkey and Brian Rodgers.
Kyle Fransdal then put the Cadets up 2-0 at the 11:07 mark, scoring his sixth goal of the season and second of the series unassisted. The goal was a wrister from the right faceoff circle that beat BSU starting goaltender Grady Hunt high and over the right shoulder.
Air Force held the 2-0 lead until the 14:32 mark of the second period, when Jared Hanowski pumped home his fifth goal of the season on a power play. Riley Riddell broke down the right side of the ice and rotated the puck across the top of the crease to Hanowski through Wade Chiodo; Hanowski squeezed the puck between the left post and Air Force goaltender Mike Polidor.
Hanowski picked up his second goal of the night, and the eventual game-tying goal, at 9:29 of the third period and again the play started on a Riddell breakaway, who fed the puck in through Chiodo. Hanowski beat Polidor inside the right pipe to knot the score at two goals apiece. The two-goal effort marked Hanowski's first career multi-goal game.
BSU dominated the second period, outshooting Air Force 17-9, and had numerous point-blank opportunities in the waning moments of the third period, but several brilliant saves by Polidor — including a perfect pad save on a one-on-one breakaway opportunity against BSU's Brendan Cook in the final 30 seconds — saved the regulation draw and forced the overtime. The teams were even at three shots apiece in the extra frame.
"We'll take a tie in that situation, being down 2-0," BSU head coach Tom Serratore said. "The guys showed resilience coming from behind, and overall it was a good weekend for the Beavers."
With 24 saves and two goals against, Hunt remains undefeated against the CHA with the tie, moving to 8-0-3. For the season, Hunt moves to 11-7-3. Polidor recorded 34 saves for Air Force to earn his first tie of the season and move his record to 9-12-1.
BSU moved to 7-5-2 all-time against Air Force with the tie; the Beavers are unbeaten in each of the last three games in the series.
Bemidji State remains at .500 for the season at 12-12-4 overall but falls to second place in College Hockey America with 21 points (8-2-3). Air Force dropped to 10-15-1 overall and 1-10-1 in CHA play.

Carnival Cruise Lines has announced that Holiday, Sensation and Ecstasy -- three ships currently chartered to the Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA) to house Hurricane Katrina evacuees and workers -- will receive extensive renovations before resuming cruise service this spring.
In a statement, the cruise line relays that the changes are being made to improve these slightly older ships, and are not a direct result of having served as floating shelters. Carnival's President and CEO Bob Dickinson is quoted as saying that "because the ships were maintained to Carnival's high standards throughout the charter period, the Holiday, Ecstasy and Sensation are all in excellent condition" and that the upcoming multi-million-dollar makeovers are intended to make "these terrific 'Fun Ships' even better."
Holiday will receive new carpeting and tile shipwide, and a redesigned lobby with new seating. A nine-hole mini golf course will be added to the Verandah Deck, and Spa Carnival will be refreshed with an updated salon and new exercise equipment. The Four Winds and Seven Seas, Holiday's main dining rooms, will have their ceilings replaced, and galleys will receive new and updated equipment.
Both Ecstasy and Sensation will get a mini golf course, as well as a new art gallery, 1,200-square-ft. conference room and 1,600-square-ft. play area for kids called "Children's World," part of an ongoing expansion of Camp Carnival. Aft lounges on both ships will be reconfigured to feature a family recreation area with audio/vision equipment for movie viewing.
A patisserie and a new photo gallery will be added aboard Sensation, and the Internet cafe will be redesigned. Sensation's Spa Carnival will be renovated, and a poolside stage will relocate to a covered area, opening up more space for sun devotees.
Ecstasy's cabins, gift shop and Panorama Bar & Grill will be refurbished.
Sensation will begin sailing from Port Canaveral on March 23 for a season of Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries before relocating to New Orleans in October for Western Caribbean cruises. Holiday will return to Mobile on March 27 for year-round cruises to Mexico. Ecstasy will resume its Galveston-based sailings on April 8.

The Perl software can also use protocol files from MDaemon mail servers. Adding Squid provides the ability to use separate logfiles for referrers and user agents. Unfortunately, support for load-balancing configurations will have to wait until a future version, according to developer Laurent Domisse.
W3Perl 3.08 is under GPL for Linux and Windows for download from the project homepage.

Hello Gina:
Thank you very much for your kind comments on my "Places around the World" book. I have looked at a couple of your books: Cuba (we were there in 2010) and Iran (I was there in 1978, just before the Shah was overthrown and before I did serious photography). Your books are very lively and good documentations of the scenes. You have enough "good" photos among them to make selections for some attractive "artistic" books.

This was an excellent email regarding leveling kits in world of warcraft:
Hey Markco an idea/business venture if you may, based on flipping on a
larger scale
As i'm sure many of your readers (and yourself no doubt) at
some point or another start a new profession, the first thing you want is to hit
the 450(+) cap asap to get the good stuff.
In this case i'm using Engineering as the example.
Now what if you were to sell people complete
prof. leveling kits (all mats inc.) based on http://www.wow-professions.com/ ?
I've have done a mock up spread sheet for Engineering as per the websites
listed materials to find out how much it would cost me to purchase;
rounding up to the nearest silver it would cost me 3357g79s (Thursday night AH - you could always farm them ^^)
Now for most wow gold tycoons (or even Joe Average), that's a small
investment, say we mark it upto 5000g (1642.21g profit) thats a fairly small
price to pay to be able to level 1-450 Engineering in a day , and for the most
part your effort is running to the mail box hehe
But you can't trade that many items at once?!
- well no you can't however, simply find your buyer in /2 and send items in batches CoD (total sum/total number of mails to send)
What do you think of this as a business venture?
is 5k enough of a markup?
What if this were Jewelcrafting ? would you price it based on potential income of that prof. ? thoughts?
- Jouichirou
Great email Jouichirou. For an organized auctioneer this is a huge way to make gold. It takes time and lots and lots of fishing through searches to get the number of mats required to level from 1-450 with any profession at decent costs, but the rewards are amazing. I once did this with alchemy and make 2k gold profit off the mats in a single leveling kit. It is definately worth it to also up your price based on the profession, such as jewelcrafting or inscription. In fact, I would go so far as to say that inscription is the easiest profession to build a leveling kit for. I highly recommend advertising your services on your local warcraft server forums to boost sales as well as trade chat.

Zanzibar is the jewel of Tanzania. This is an island where the remnants of the past fuse beautifully with the island atmosphere and the friendly people. At one stage the island was controlled by the Arab Sultans and there was the time of the Portuguese explorers. Here you can enjoy the Turkish baths, view the Arab buildings in Stone Town or visit the Portuguese fort and gardens. Zanzibar is well known for water sports, the Spice Island Tours and a number of luxury hotels. Zanzibar covers an area of 1 464 square km.
Zanzibar hosts just over 1,000 000 people on the Island. The population is 95% Black African people, with 5% being Asian, Arab and European.
Both Zanzibar and Tanzania are on GMT + 3.
The capital of Zanzibar is Stone Town, a place where the past and present has mixed very well. Stone Town is an interesting mix of East African, Arab, Indian, Persian and European conquerors, traders and seafarers.
The city is filled with old buildings created in the different periods of time in Zanzibar. Being a small and busy island, the town does not provide the cleanest view, but it's interesting to see the markets, harbour, and mosques, and to dine at a few restaurants.
Zanzibar has a warm and tropical climate with refreshing cool breezes coming off the ocean. Summer temperatures range from 20°C/68°F to 30°C/86°F, from December to March. Winter temperatures range from 19°C/66°F to 25°C/77°F, from March to May. From June to October it gets very dry on the island with hot days and cool evenings. Late October through to mid December is pretty hot with small thunderstorms.
The unit of currency in Zanzibar is the Tanzanian shilling (Tsh). Foreign currency is usually accepted in most establishments in Tanzania. Travellers cheques and cash are widely accepted. Visa and MasterCard are accepted at most of the upmarket hotels and lodges.
Zanzibar does not have any international banks. However, the local banks will readily exchange foreign currency. The banks are open from 9:00am to 16:00pm, Monday to Friday and closed on a Saturday and Sunday.
At restaurants, the standard tipping is 10% of the bill. For lodge and hotel staff, get advice from the manager, but it usually is 10 - 15%.
There are internet cafes in the town.
In Zanzibar, there are post office services, telephone, faxing and e-mailing services. You can usually get assistance at your hotel or resort.
Zanzibar uses 220v, so you will need adapters if you are using a different voltage. Most hotels have adapters, but it is wise to bring your own, just in case.
Zanzibar makes use of Metric measurements.
Swahili is the official language of Zanzibar but English is widely spoken throughout the island. Arabic is spoken as well.
Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim and filled with mosques. There are a few churches and temples for Christians and Hindus. Please do not enter the mosques if you are not Muslim.
Please note that when visiting Zanzibar, you should visit your local embassy to get details on your passport and visa. Depending on your nationality, you might be able to get a visa in Zanzibar or you might have to request it in your country.

Akon wanted to be starting something with Michael Jackson — and apparently, that something involves holding hands.
A song that the two worked on for Akon's upcoming album has leaked to the Internet, and it's called "Hold My Hand." An earlier version of the track, without Jackson's contributing vocals, leaked in February, just as the pair's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008" was officially released as the first single for the re-release of Thriller.
A mid-tempo ballad featuring strings at its beginning, "Hold My Hand" layers the singers' vocals over a drum machine and a twinkling piano melody as the pair trade off lyrics like "We're better off being together than being miserable alone" and "Nothing can come between us if you just hold my hand." Jackson's softer, more lilting vocal lines start the duet, but Akon soon becomes dominant, thanks to his distinctive phrasing.
Akon's label rep said that the singer's as-yet-untitled third album, due later this year, has not been completed, so there's no word on whether "Hold My Hand" will make the cut, and as such, there hasn't been any plan to release the song as a single.
Akon previously told MTV News that working with MJ was a dream come true , calling the King of Pop "incredible" and a "genius."
"Just to be in the same room [with him], I felt everything I wanted to accomplish in life has been achieved," Akon said. "That aura … that's how incredible that aura is. We about to shake the world up, man. You know how you be with somebody and you can't even explain [the feeling]? I used to sit and think, 'How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre to a point [where] nobody can't be a part of that without associating with you?' The way he thinks … some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international. He thinks planets. It's on another level."

It should come as no surprise that some games, in varied forms of complexity, take a little longer to grasp. Dan Cassar, designer of Cavemen: The Quest for Fire, brought this up during our interview recently, noting that Cavemen is the kind of game that you have to play two or three times to get." He goes on to say that the "subtleties of it don't come out right away."
While idling away in front of the keyboard here, kicking back over a game of Hearts with my Toshiba computer, I noted at the end of two failed attempts to win the game, that I had a miserable winning percentage against this machine.
Hard to believe I've played 127 games of Hearts with this thing, but there it is, every time I sit poised over a decision whether to play again. . . the figures; 127 played, 17% winning percentage. It's embarrasing, but instructive. Hearts, you see, is the kind of game you have to play two or three (or 123) times to get. Its subtleties don't come out right away.
Right away??!!
I've been playing Hearts since I was probably 10 and I'm sitting here 50 years (plus) later, still learning; that, for example, as tempting as it might be to pass the Queen of Spades to a neighbor at the beginning of a hand, with a little "Gotcha!" thrown in for emphasis, it is sometimes, possibly a lot of the time, a good idea to hold on to it. You then control its destiny, so to speak. There are exceptions, of course. . . one of those subtleties. If it's the only spade you're dealt, get rid of it. If it's one of only two spades you have, get rid of both of them. When you start hitting three or four spades in your hand, you should consider holding on to the Queen. If you've got like six or seven spades in a four-player game and the Queen is one of them, you should definitely hold on to it. You'll usually outlast your opponents' supply of spades with higher numbers of them, so the Queen won't be forced out of your hand and you'll be free to nail someone else with her, right after you've short-suited yourself in diamonds or clubs.
Listen to me. . . Mr. 17%, offering sage advice on how best to play the game of Hearts.
I've really gotten annoyed with the artificial intelligence function that the computer calls North in our game of Hearts. It appears to have an attitude. It not only wins the four-player games in which I become involved, a high (though actually unknown) percentage of the time, it appears to enjoy humiliating you (me, too); Shooting the Moon, when you're hovering in the 50s, point-wise, trying to stay as far away from 100 as you can; delivering the Queen of Spades to you when you're three tricks away from going pointless in a hand, or taking the one trick with a heart in it that spoils your own attempt to Shoot the Moon.
My game habits keep me in hopeless games. I'm at 98, North's got 18, and I'm still thinking with a couple of good hands, I can sit tight and not pick up two hearts or the Queen of Spades until after North has passed me to 100. I'm optimistic like that, and rarely, if ever, hit the "Exit" button to get on with my life.
Were it not for the 'three cards passing' rule, that begins each hand of play, there'd be nothing to the game. This is actually an established variant, tacked on to the original card game around 1850, which had its start as a family of related games called Reversi, popular in the 18th century. With four players, you're each holding 13 cards, dealt to you randomly from the deck. You're stuck with them. It simplifies the process, but makes it an optimization exercise. Doing your best with the hand you've been dealt. By passing cards, in successive hands of play - right, left and then across the table - you are making some decisions before the first card has been played. And your opponents are doing the same thing, which you'll notice right away, when you've looked at the cards passed to you, and find that your original plan to short-suit yourself in diamonds has been waylaid by an opponent who's given three of them back to you.
This brings us back to the Queen of Spades and the whole "should I get rid of her or not" question, too. I'm a fan of dumping diamonds for the purpose of short-suiting myself in that suit. With clubs, because of the rule stating that the hand must begin with the play of the two of clubs, and that no points can come out on the first trick, you generally see four of them go by right away; nine left, and some of them, presumably are in your own hand. With four people, even distribution would lead you to think there'd be at least one more full trick of four clubs out there. Uneven distribution of the remaining nine cards in that suit can get you into trouble. You win the first trick with some high club and try that suit a second time, with another high card, and you could end up with the Queen of Spades, when uneven distribution has left one of the other players with a handful of them, and another with none and the Queen.
There's something non-threatening about diamonds in this game. There are 13 points tied up in all the Hearts, spades has the Queen (13 more), and clubs is your forced first trick. But you don't think too much about diamonds right away. So I get rid of them right away. I'm sort of locked into this 'short-suit yourself in diamonds, if you can' approach to the game, which again, one should consider in light of how successful it's been throughout the course of my 127 games against a machine.
Card counting is a big help, though for the life of me, I can't do it. Sometimes I'll be able to make use of a fact, like knowing that three tricks of all clubs have gone by, I'll play with the knowledge that there's only one left. Like poker, Hearts has its set of probability factors and the greater your knowledge of them, the better off you'll be.
This is not just about Hearts, really. It's about any and all games that get your head engaged in how to win, complete with their probability factors and arguable paths to victory. It's about subtleties in a game that take a while to 'get' and whether the time invested getting it is worth the reward.
There's nothing that'll cap my day quite like the computer animation that sends little hearts up onto my screen when I win. They rise up from all points of the screen and pop! in half, broken, to a synthesized crescendo of sound. I'm not into fist-pumping, but if I were. . .
I'm guessing that Hearts is installed on pretty much every computer that sells these days. If you haven't played in a while, or haven't played it ever, give it a whirl. Give it some time. Play half a dozen games (around a dozen hands, per game) and watch them subtleties emerge.
Yeah, worth the effort.

Perhaps you are one of the many aficionados of the tender long green stalks that herald spring in some parts of the country, namely asparagus. These fibrous vegetables can often be found in ditches, growing wild, waiting to be picked for their succulent spears, or grown in your garden. For those in other climates like here in SoCal, they are more likely to be located in a supermarket produce section. In any case, asparagus is normally meant for the kitchen and eventually on your plate, right?
Not for everyone—such as a British woman, Jemima Packington, who labels herself the one-and-only "asparamancer" in existence. To elaborate on that title, Ms. Packington uses asparagus stalks to predict the future. Really.
Along the same lines as those who interpret I Ching or examine chickens' entrails in order to forecast events, the use of asparagus is dependent on how the stalks land when they have been tossed randomly. They allegedly form a pattern by which the asparamancer is able to divine what is to come. In a recent article in The Kernel, by Ned Donovan, more detail is given about the methods and meanings of this rare and unique form of determination of things-to-come (see http://www.kernelmag.com/features/report/8735/predicting-the-future-with-asparagus/).
So, if there are no other practitioners of this type of divination, one might wonder how it is to be learned, what guidelines there are in asparamancing, and how Jemima Packington learned her craft. Unfortunately, there are no hard-and-fast answers to these questions. However, there are certain things you can learn from this delicious vegetable, namely its health benefits. Packed with fiber, it is certain to help your digestive system function. As it also has diuretic qualities, asparagus may be able to tell you when certain body parts are going to need quick attention, ie., heading to the bathroom. For both reasons it would be a wise choice when you need detoxification of the gastrointestinal and urinary systems.
Vitamin K, important for blood clotting, is another important reason to choose asparagus for food rather than forecasting. If you are prone to forming clots (and not already on blood thinners), use of this vegetable can tell you are going to have less trouble in that area of health. Vitamin A, beneficial for the eyes, will also assist you in seeing in general, although you may only be able to see into the present rather than the future. Along with these and the B-vitamins, which help with skin-associated problems, and potassium, calcium, and iron, all of which are essential minerals, there are a plethora of other trace minerals and antioxidants that make asparagus a very worthwhile addition to your menu. No one needs to see how the stalks fall into the pot or on your plate to know that.

Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae)
Plain Greenbul (Andropadus curvirostris) - HBW 10, p. 200
French: Bulbul curvirostre
German: Alexanderbülbül
Spanish: Bulbul Piquicurvo
Other common names: Cameroon (Sombre) Greenbul
Taxonomy: Andropadus curvirostris Cassin, 1859, Camma River, Gabon.
Genus formerly submerged in Pycnonotus. May be most closely related to A. gracilis and A. ansorgei; similarities to both in appearance and behaviour have resulted in much confusion in the field, historically and currently, which has obscured its status. It has recently been suggested that vocal differences between the two races, and the fact that leoninus does not react to playback of song of nominate, may imply that they are isolated at the species level. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- leoninus Bates, 1930 - Sierra Leone and SE Guinea E to C Ghana.
- curvirostris Cassin, 1859 - C Ghana E, including Bioko I, to S Sudan and W Kenya, S to N & NW Angola and S DRCongo.
