|Estimated Nutrient Content
|Guaranteed Analysis
|Dry Matter Basis
|Calorie Weighted Basis
The first ingredient in this dog food is chicken. Chicken is considered "the clean combination of flesh and skin… derived from the parts or whole carcasses of chicken".1
Chicken is naturally rich in the ten essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The second ingredient is chicken heart. Although it doesn't sound very appetizing to us humans, heart tissue is pure muscle — all meat. It's naturally rich in quality protein, minerals and complex B vitamins, too.
The third ingredient is chicken liver. This is an organ meat sourced from a named animal and thus considered a beneficial component.
The fourth ingredient is ground chicken bone, an excellent source of natural calcium.
The fifth ingredient includes chicken eggs. Eggs are easy to digest and have an exceptionally high biological value.
The sixth ingredient includes carrots. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.
The seventh ingredient includes green beans, a healthy vegetable notable for its vitamin, mineral and natural fiber content.
The eighth ingredient is squash. Squash is a nutritious addition high in complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With three notable exceptions…
First, montmorillonite is a naturally occurring compound rich in many trace minerals. Montmorillonite has been approved for use in USDA Organic Certified products.
Reported benefits include the binding of certain mold-based toxins and even controlling diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Next, sardine oil and anchovy oil are naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans.
Depending on its level of freshness and purity, sardine and anchovy oils should be considered commendable additions.
And lastly, except for vitamin E, we find no mention of added vitamins or minerals on the ingredients list.
However, we are reassured to find a detailed list of naturally present nutrients on the company's website.
Answers Detailed Formula Dog Food
The Bottom Line
Judging by its ingredients alone, Answers Dog Food Detailed formula looks like an above-average raw product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product's meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 41%, a fat level of 31% and estimated carbohydrates of about 20%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 41% and a mean fat level of 31%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 20% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 77%.
Near-average protein. Above-average fat. And below-average carbs when compared to a typical raw dog food.
Free of any plant-based protein boosters, this looks like the profile of a raw product containing a significant amount of meat.
Bottom line?
Answers Detailed Formula is a meat-based raw dog food using a generous amount of chicken, beef or pork as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 5 stars.
Enthusiastically recommended.
Please note certain recipes are sometimes given a higher or lower rating based upon our estimate of their total meat content and (when appropriate) their fat-to-protein ratios.

The LSU gymnastics team earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Regional Championships, which will be held on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, La as announced on Monday, March 24, 2014.
After a disappointing third place finish at the SEC championships last Saturday, the Tigers returned to Baton Rouge and the gym to prepare for the next step in their journey to the NCAA Super Six national championship.
The Tigers have had an outstanding season, ranking No. 1 in the nation just two weeks ago and have broken several school records this season. This year marks the 30th straight invitation for the Tigers to the Regionals. LSU is looking for a repeat of last year when they won the Regionals in Columbus, OH. The LSU gymnastics team has captured a total of 12 Regional championships in school history.
Joining the Tigers for the NCAA Regionals will be No. 10 overall seed Stanford, No. 13 Auburn, Arizona, Kent State and Iowa State. The competition will begin at 4:00 p.m. in the Pete Maravich Center on the LSU campus on Saturday, April, 5, 2014.
Tickets can be purchased online and prices start at $3.00 for youth and $5.00 for adults for general admission. Reserved seating prices are $5.00 and $8.00, respectively.
Rotations have already been determined and as the top seed in the tournament, LSU will have a bye on the first rotation. They will begin on bars on the second rotation before advancing to the balance beam. LSU will have another bye on the fourth rotation before competing on the floor and finishing up on the vault.
Rheagan Courville will be on the prowl for the all-around competition, as she is ranked No. 2 nationally.
The two individual teams who place the highest in the Regionals will advance to the Super Six Championship.

President Obama announced his decision to nominate to Janet Yellen as next head the U.S. central bank when the current Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, steps down next year. Yen and Swiss Franc dip as a result of the news.
Yen and Franc Decline
The Yen and the Swiss Franc dropped after officials confirmed that President Barack Obama has nominated Janet Yellen to replace Mr. Ben Bernanke as head of the Federal Reserve. This raised speculation that the central bank will continue with its current policies aimed at bolstering economic growth. The Swiss currency declined for the second day in a row as the President of the Swiss National Bank, Thomas Jordan, indicated that the country's monetary unit remains overvalued. Mr. Jordan reiterated that the SNB plans to maintain the cap on the Euro so as to avoid having to intervene in the world currency exchange. The two safe havens fell further as the Dollar Index inched upwards in anticipation of the release of the Fed's policy meeting minutes. Despite the fact that lawmakers have made no progress on putting together a viable spending bill or raising the debt ceiling, the news about Vice Chairman Yellen boosted positive sentiment among traders.
Industrial Production Disappoints
The British Pound weakened against all of its most traded Forex exchange counterparts subsequent to a report out of the Office of National Statistics which confirmed that industrial production in the U.K. fell by 1.1% in the month of August after having gained 0.1% in July. The metrics were certainly a disappointment, since economists had anticipated the sector would show an improvement of 0.4%. The news weighed on the Sterling, especially as the Bank of England prepares to issue its policy decision. The British currency traded at the lowest price in two weeks versus the U.S. Dollar, as the metrics suggested that economic recovery may not be as solid as previously estimated. Other releases revealed that the goods-trade deficit contracted to 9.63 billion Pounds in August, while analysts had forecast that the deficit would narrow to 8.85 billion Pounds. In light of the numbers, speculators predict the BOE will leave monetary easing and the benchmark interest rate at the current levels.
Euro Touches New Lows
The Euro also depreciated versus the U.S. Dollar and reaching a session low after the greenback was bolstered by news that Janet Yellen would be nominated for the position of Federal Reserve Chairperson. Meanwhile, in the Euro-zone, Germany reported increases in industrial production by 1.4%, surpassing forecasts for a 1% hike. The Euro rate inched higher versus the British Pound and fluctuated slightly versus the Yen.

Staff from Vera's Center on Sentencing and Corrections and Cost-Benefit Analysis Unit developed a methodology to calculate the taxpayer cost of prisons, including costs outside states' corrections budgets. Among the 40 states that participated in a survey, the cost of prisons was $39 billion in fiscal year 2010, $5.4 billion more than what their corrections budgets reflected. States' costs outside their corrections departments ranged from less than 1 percent of total prison costs in Arizona to as much as 34 percent in Connecticut. The full report provides the taxpayer cost of incarcerating a sentenced adult offender to state prison in 40 states, presents the methodology, and concludes with recommendations about steps policy makers can take to safely rein in these costs. Fact sheets provide details about each of the states that participated in Vera's survey.
Important note: When calculating savings (or costs) that result from reductions (or increases) in a state's inmate population, do not use the per-inmate average costs in this report. Instead, use the marginal cost per inmate. The marginal cost is the amount that total correctional costs change when the inmate population changes. Using the average costs in this report to calculate savings or costs because of changes in the prison population will result in overestimates.
Please see A Guide to Calculating Justice-System Marginal Costs to learn more about these costs and how they are estimated.

According to a report by the Associated Press Saturday, rapper Rick Ross was arrested following a concert in North Carolina on Friday night. Ross, whose real name is William L. Roberts II, was released after posting his own $1,000 bond. He was taken into custody due to a failure to appear in court for a previous charge in the state.
Susan Danielsen, a spokeswoman for the Greensboro Police Department, reported that the hip-hop star had a previous misdemeanor marijuana charge in the state and was issued an order after failing to appear in court. Ross was immediately taken into custody following his performance at Super Jam, which took place at Greensboro Coliseum.
Rick Ross has yet to offer an official comment on the arrest, but that may be because the Miami native has made headlines lately. The rapper apparently threatened while attempting to gain access to the backstage gate of his Detroit concert. Afraid for his life, he ended up being a no-show at the concert. According to BET, Motor City rapper Trick Trick, who was accused of banning Ross from the Detroit show, denied such an incident.
Ross later denied the confrontation and elaborated on the fact that the venue gate was locked and he left. He told Florida's 99 Jamz, "In the jungle you don't lock the lions out, you let the lions in! That's when you get the confrontation that you want, if that's what you're looking for."
On a more positive note, Ross has been in headlines after dropping over 100 pounds in weight. The hip-hop star has struggled with his weight over the years and has been made fun of for being overweight. Sick of the jokes and for his own health, Ross joined Reebok's CrossFit program. A slimmer Ross told 93.9 WKYS FM, "It was just time for me to tighten up a little big, you know what I'm saying. As far as, you know, me working out…I have no destination, no specific weight."
Right now, the only thing Rick Ross is worried about working out is his current legal situation. No future court date has been set, but it will be weight off his shoulders to the situation resolved and hopefully reach a more peaceful destination in his career and personal life.

So I've got an iOS app that I'm working on which needs to reach out to a server and pull down a few pieces of data to populate throughout the app.
Option1: Is it good UX to tell the user I'm downloading X, then Y and Now Z? The data that I'm downloading is kind of some technical stuff..
Option2: Is it better to say "We're logging you in!" ?
I'm leaning toward option2 and give them a simple and sweet login message that we're loggin them in.

On Tuesday, September 7 the dastardly Dr. David Hayward (Vincent Irizarry) was pronounced dead at the party that Caleb Cortlandt (Michael Nouri) threw in honor of his uncle, Palmer (James Mitchell). A stunned Greenlee whispered words to his corpse, and the whole time David was lying on the floor, the viewers were thinking to themselves, "Okay, David, it's time to sit up. Let everyone know you were only fooling."
Here's the really bad news. ABC killed off All My Childrens most beloved villain, the David that we all loved the hate, The network claims that David's demise was story line dictated, but that doesn't wash. After all, in David's past there have been many people who have wanted to kill him; Amanda (Chrishell Stause) Jake (Ricky Paull Goldin), Tad Martin (Michael Knight), Angie Hubbard (Debbi Morgan), and just about everyone else in Pine Valley.
So the question is, why is this story line any different than the ones that have come before? Is it because Irizarry and ABC couldn't come to agreement on his contract. That seems to be what the actor is saying on his website. But why would ABC allow one of AMC's greatest assets ever to walk away, possibly to another soap? And, what makes even less sense is the fact that Adam Chandler (David Canary) just left the show in the spring. Adam and David are the story makers, the soap needs their tyranny to generate effective stories that we invest in.
AMC's fans are outraged, as can be seen by looking at the message boards, and many of them do not believe that David is really dead. In fact, knowing AMC's past record David may not be gone for real. After all, Jessie Hubbard (

Crafting and multiplayer mechanics will be ready to go too, along with all the usual stability and bug testing. Mike Morhaime, Blizzard's CEO, said that the closed beta is "an important milestone for us as we enter the final stages of development on Diablo III."

Besides being a usable compass for hiking or finding you way in any situation, this compass is also nice to look at and solidly made. I didn't expect it to weigh as much as it did - I've heard of using keys for self-defense, but this would work far better (and keep on working)! :-) But seriously, it is made well enough that I don't have to worry about being too hard on it. The Celtic design adds to the charm and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. Did I mention that it is authentic as well? It's made by Mullingar Pewter, in Ireland. It truely is an Irish Compass.

Comments about Irish Pewter Compass:
This is my 3rd Irish Pewter Compass; when I received the first I had to get more. The quality and price made it a great buy. One was sent as a special gift to a relative in Peru. The other two will be given as a gift to a couple upon their marriage later this year - and they are Irish. The Irish Pewter Compasses are truly heirloom quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Quality Control Issues
By Linda the hiker
from Columbus, Ohio
Two to choose from, each completely opposite the other. Bought one for nephew's graduation: beautiful, classy, well made, arrived carefully boxed. Another bought by daughter for me for Mother's Day: arrived poorly packaged in padded envelope, in a watch box with a wrist band holder even though it isn't a watch and has no wrist band. Broken with medallion off, but when placed where it should have been, it didn't seem to fit anyway, which might explain why it was ripped off. Cracked glass, scratched pewter. It couldn't have been in worse shape. It was a shock when it arrived because I expected the quality of what I had just purchased for my nephew only weeks before.
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We sincerely regret that this item did not arrive in perfect condition. Our customer service team will be in touch shortly to find a solution that works best for you.

Purchased this pocket watch for my son. We are Irish so it fit perfectly for St Paddy's Day. The glass on the face of the watch was cracked when he received it, however, NatGeo IMMEDIATELY replaced it. He is very happy with National Geographic and the new pocket watch.

My son will love this!
By Callie
from Virginia
I bought this for my son as a gift when he returns from Afghanistan. He was looking at antique compasses before he left. The Celtic design on this compass is beautiful. The finish and weight also add to it's look of good quality. Great as a collectable but also useful! I know he will love it!

Great My Motorcycle Rides
By Chief
from Auburndale, FL
I make cross country motorcycle rides. I carry a compass for those times when I am somewhere and need to keep in a specific direction. As a US Army Ranger, I am NEVER lost. I have been misoriented for short periods.

Not as nice...
By Lil Turtle

Poor Quality. Not as nice as I thought it was going to be. Looks cheap. To use the compass it must be PERFECTLY flat. Needle will hang up and not rotate properly.

May 15, 2014
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- When the University of Iowa men's golf team opens play in the NCAA Columbia Regional Thursday morning, it will feature a lineup that includes three NCAA tournament veterans and two first year freshman. UI head coach Mark Hankins is confident in his players and likes the balance of his line-up.
Iowa's line-up in the 54-hole regional includes senior Steven Ihm, juniors Ian Vandersee and Brian Bullington and freshmen Ray Knoll and Carson Schaake. Ihm and Vandersee are playing in the postseason for the third-straight year, while Bullington is making his second appearance in the NCAA event.
"We have a nice mix, with one senior, two juniors and two freshmen," said Hankins, who is leading the Hawkeyes in their sixth-straight NCAAA regional. "Ray and Carson are big-time winners, they are used to being in situations like this, and their junior careers were filled with winning. Six-straight years at regionals is not a fluke; we do it through good players, with seniors stepping up and playing well, like Steven has done. I have been impressed with the way each one of these guys prepared in getting themselves ready to go."
Iowa has advanced to the NCAA Championships in three of the last five years, most recently in 2012 when the Hawkeyes advanced through the Georgia regional with Ihm and Vandersee in the line-up. Vandersee led Iowa's charge on the final day two years ago, shooting a season-low round of 66 to help Iowa advance.
"I remember it like it was yesterday," said Vandersee. "I remember having a lot of confidence that week. I had a really good spring to that point. I knew if I stuck to my game plan, If I played the way I play, which is being patient, making sure I am taking advantage of what I can take advantage of and not trying to do anything I couldn't do. I made sure to do that.
"I had been hitting it well but hadn't scored," recalled Vandersee. "I remember saying to myself, if I can get the putts to drop, or hit it a little closer, I'll be in good shape tomorrow. I firmly believed in that and I stuck to it."
Vandersee and the Iowa veterans are confident that Knoll and Schaake will continue their solid spring, which has helped solidify the Iowa line-up.
"I have not taken the time to talk about two years ago, I don't usually talk about things I have done in the past," said Vandersee, in regards to advice for the Hawkeye freshmen. "But, I might remind them this week, you don't have to be an upperclassman to play well. They are very capable of playing well and have both posted some good numbers this year. NCAA regionals is another golf tournament, it isn't anything we haven't done before. "
Knoll agrees with Vandersee and feels prepared for his first postseason event.
"We look forward to these tournaments," said Knoll. "We look to this as a big tournament, but we also look at it like any other tournament; we have played against these teams all year. It's the same as competing in the tournaments we have been in all year. The older guys have been through this in the past and have done well. We have confidence they are going to play well, that takes the pressure off us and lets us play our game."
Schaake agreed with his roommate.
"This is the same as any other week, we need to stay in our groove, and we are in a good groove right now," said Schaake. "The chemistry is great. Personally, any tournament I play in competitively, I want to go in it to win. Our team goes in to tournaments to win as many as possible. We have to stay confident, we have to keep playing our game and doing our thing."
In 2012 the Hawkeyes went on the tie for 22nd at the NCAA Championships, played at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. The Hawkeyes are hoping to be in the top five when the regional concludes Saturday, earning another trip to the finals.
"I didn't know where we were team-wise, I could not have guessed how everyone was playing," said Vandersee, of his final round in Georgia two years ago. "I was our second player to finish, and I sat behind the 18 green and watched the other guys finish. I remember thinking how close it was going to be. Once we finished and realized we were in, it was an awesome feeling."
Hankins feels the spring schedule has prepared his team for a solid showing this weekend, and was glad to see his team assigned to a regional close to home.
"I think it's big to be in the Midwest," said Hankins. "We have played well in windy conditions; we have played well in hot conditions; we have played well on Pete Dye courses. I think we are well-rounded. What we talk about is the ability to adapt once you get there, and this team has done a good job of that. Plus, we have five good players, we are not depending on one guy or two guys, we are relying on five guys, which is very helpful."
The Hawkeyes are the No. 6 seed in the NCAA Columbia Regional. Iowa will play the first round with Arkansas and Arizona State. Live scoring is available at the men's golf schedule page.

TC TO THEODOSIA ALICE TAYLOR; 17 July 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540717-TC-TAT-01; CL 29: 129-130
Chelsea, Monday, 17 july [1854]—
Dear Mrs Taylor,
Very unluckily I am engaged for this evening; neither is there now so much as time to announce the fact to you till too late. For Thursday I can come; and tho' that turns out to be a day of my own choosing, I decide that we will still stand by it, according to your kind assent, lest farther puzzles and worse cross-purposes befal us! Nothing is more tragical, in a small way, than two persons of intense politeness meeting on a staircase, and mistaking the turn,—jumping and rejumping to afford each other passage, and at every new jump merely again knocking their heads together. The remedy is that one of them become unpolite or less polite, and stand stock-still.
Your beautiful hand has been spoiled by imitating Taylor's; a kind of forgery withal I see nothing but ruin, unless you stop short in that course!—
On Thursday then—
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

Over at Dear Emmeline, Jessica had a kitchen utensil holder that hadn't been used since she'd attached an Ikea hanging bar to the kitchen wall. "That left me with a useless stand that either needed to be tossed or repurposed. I chose the later!" she says.
Jessica decided that the former utensil holder would make a great spot to hang jewelry! After cleaning and de-greasing the utensil holder, Jessica gave it a couple of coats of spray paint in a pretty pale blue color. Once the paint dried, she covered the stand part of the holder, and dipped the top in Plasti Dip. "This will make a nice soft surface to rest your jewelry and keep it free from scratches," she explains. What a great idea–this would be the perfect thing to have in that spot (wherever it may be) that we start shedding our jewelry at the end of the day.
Get more details on this project at Dear Emmeline.

For some, a hamburger is a juicy, balanced bite that satisfies all the flavor profiles. From the expertly cooked beef to the carefully chosen topping, each morsel should appease the palate. While traditional toppings offer a tasty classic, the inventive flavor combinations bring guests back for more. Big Chef Burgers in Schaumburg offers gourmet burgers that will satisfy burger the lover.
Big Chef Burgers offers a wide variety of gourmet burgers. Each burger is made from a full half-pound of fresh 75% lean ground hormone-free Angus beef. Guests can choose their choice of bun-regular, pretzel, or onion-and each burger comes with a generous side, choice of fresh cut French fries, fresh cut sweet potato fries, fresh cut homemade potato chips, onion rings, mashed potatoes or cole slaw.
While all the burgers are delicious, two menu highlights are the Italian burger and the Paradise Burger. The Italian Burger offers fresh buffalo mozzarella, arugula, sun dried tomatoes and onions. The combination on the burger brings the flavors of Italian cuisine without over powering the flavor of the juicy hamburger.
Another favorite menu item is the Paradise burger. This burger features Angus beef burger with grilled shrimp, cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, tarragon mayo. The beautifully seasoned shrimp bring sweetness to the savory burger. This burger is a great variation on a surf and turf dish.
If you aren't craving a burger, Big Chef Burgers serves Neapolitan pizzas from the Italian wood-fired brick oven. These 12 inch pizza feature fresh ingredients. The crispy pizzas highlight classic Italian flavors like margarita pizza, quattro formaggi, and prosciutto.
With all the savory items, desserts are equally tempting. Options like the creme brulee and the panna cotta are the perfect way to end the meal. For the more adventurous, the adult milkshakes are an unique twist. Milkshakes are made with delicious gelato to make a more decadent drink.
Big Chef Burgers is owned and operated by Chef Cristiano Bassani. The Italian born and raised big chef, (he stands tall at 6'6"), brings his love of food into a causal setting."I've been living in the Chicago area for many years, and I've always had the desire to open a great burger or pizza joint in the northwest suburbs that raises the bar," says Italian-born and raised Bassani. "Big Chef Burgers is going to be the best of both worlds and, clearly, a cut above the rest. We're offering full-sit down service and great reasonably-priced food that's locally sourced. The menu includes artisan Neapolitan pizza made in our large wood-fired brick oven. We also will serve some tasty fresh salads. An added treat will be our homemade gelato-based malts and milkshakes, not to mention the desserts which are chosen from among my most popular. The mood is very casual and homey, with a simple touch of style and sophistication. I'm confident everyone will have a great time and a great meal."
Big Chef Burgers is located at 1602 E. Algonquin Road in Schaumburg, Illinois. Big Chef Burgers is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. visit the website at www.bigchefburgers.com .

Focus: Eruption
Moving Waves (X2-13060)
Thijs Van Leer (keyboards, flute, vocals),
Jan Akkerman (guitar), Cyril Havermans (bass), Pierre Van Der Linden (drums).
Composed by Thijs Van Leer, Tom Barlage, Jan Akkerman, Pierre Van Der Linden, Eelke Nobel.
Recorded: The Netherlands, 1971
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Focus was a progressive rock band that had a huge hit called "Hocus Pocus" in 1972. (That tune is included on this album, but a live performance of it on the band's next album was the actual hit.) "Hocus Pocus" was sort of a '70s version of what Spike Jones was doing in the '40s and '50s with nonsense vocalizing, whistles and just generally showing off in a humorous way. But even though the song was pop music all the way, its superior musicality suggested these guys might be more than met the ear. And in fact they were. For the most part, the band's music was a mix of rock and classical music. However, "Eruption," and several other pieces spread out over their next few albums, showed the band could also integrate jazz elements into their music. For that reason, I think Focus deserves to be mentioned when discussing the fusion movement, even if they came through a side door and were little noticed in the genre at the time.
"Eruption" is a multipart opus. In 16 distinct but connected sections, the band lays out the facts. Van Leer and Akkerman are high-caliber musicians. Their forays offer the most interest. Akkerman, in particular, represents the fusion face of the band as he grinds out one biting electric solo after another. He squeezes every last ounce of angst out of his instrument. Van Leer is the utility player. He plays everything in every way. The often changing tenor of the piece makes it impossible to describe "Eruption" fully. But though improvisation is probably at a premium, the tune can stand alongside any fusion anthem produced by Mahavishnu, Return to Forever or Weather Report. This isn't to say the tune could knock any of those groups off their pedestals. But certainly it could give them a strong nudge.

This week the house has been a flurry of home TO DO's. Most importantly, we embarked on the Change the Nursery and Create a Toddler Room project.
The walls went from yellow to the most perfect green in the nursery. (Behr paint - 50% Japanese Fern, 50% Grape Leaves)
And from beige-y brown to a sophisticated gray in the soon-to-be toddler room. (Behr paint - Elephant Skin) I promise this room won't end up nearly as bland or nearly as grown up as things might appear now.
On Thursday I gave myself permission to take a few "mental health" hours. After our leisurely stay at the lake, there is so much to do in general and in preparation for this baby. And August is crammed full of activity, so I've been using these few weeks in between to go, go, go in productivity.
When I felt my mind and spirit start to teeter a bit earlier this week, I decided to set aside a few hours on Thursday to myself, with no agenda. On the days I have help with Pigtail, I usually want to take full advantage of that time and do the things that I can't do with a toddler in tow. But I rarely use that time to do....nothing. Yesterday I laid down in my bed, in the middle of the afternoon, and read. I zoned out. I tried to stay very still when a light breeze came in through the open patio doors. I thought I would nap, but I didn't. Though after two hours I got up as rejuvenated as if I had taken a doze.
I'm glad that I did this before I had a full-blown hormonal meltdown. It's good to know your limits, to watch your own body and heart for signs that you need some space. Because it's much harder to come back from hitting a wall than to brake the moment you see it.
For your weekend reading pleasure:
This was a fantastic interview about motherhood and balance and pretty people with makeup artist Molly Stern. (Girls Gone Child)
While we're on the subject of balance, did you read Cup of Jo's series on freelance motherhood balance? Because it was great. This was my favorite one, but they're all interesting in different ways. (Cup of Jo)
This tutorial by Amanda on how to use a group of people to curate boards together for a specific project was so useful. And then look how cute the Feather Your Nest shower turned out afterwards! Good information, good eye candy here. (Oh Amanda)
I love it when real people pull off magazine-style looks in their home. This is a great before & after, and tutorial on a striped entryway. Such an impact! (Sweet Carolina Wife)
This was timely for me. Something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Prayer Journey. (the Blah Blah Blahger)
Over the next few days we have X-Games, book club, and lunch with a long lost friend. What about you?
Happy Weekend, HH readers!

House Speaker John Boehner's repeated threat to sue President Obama isn't just laughed at by the White House alone. And not just by national media. And not just by your friends, family, coworkers, classmates, in-laws, and practically everyone else on the planet, either. Even far-right activists like Erick Erickson are criticizing Boehner for this latest antic.
Typical of his M.O., Erickson doesn't pull any punches in his criticism, either. In a July 7 entry, the Editor in Chief of RedState.com says this latest, pointless trick only demonstrates that Boehner (and all House Republicans, he specifies) are absent of any "testicular fortitude(.)" According to Erickson:
John Boehner's lawsuit is nothing more than political theater and a further Republican waste of taxpayer dollars.
Two weeks ago, Boehner announced he would call for a Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group to convene and then file suit against the president. He didn't list any charges, however, only mentioning a general category of "issues" with no specific examples or violations. Obama quickly challenged him to pursue, though, calling Boehner's threat "a stunt." Boehner repeated the threat in a July 6 op/ed published by CNN.com, but again offered no specific claims – just the threat to file suit.
And why is Erickson so critical of the lawsuit proposed by Boehner? Because he recognizes that it's just another PR trick, launched a few months before this year's election, that the GOP hopes will make voters think they're actually doing something in Congress. Says Erickson:
I would kindly ask that he save the taxpayers further money on a political stunt solely designed to incite Republican voters who might otherwise stay home(.)
What Erickson doesn't mention, and which you'd think the Speaker of the House should still know, is that no one can sue the president on civil claims for any actions he takes related to his office. The Supreme Court has ruled this more than once, too. So what else could Boehner's latest antic be than what Erickson calls a "political stunt"?
Erickson, 39, made The Telegraph's "Most Influential U.S. Conservatives" listing in 2010, and was declared a "key national player" by the Washington Post that same year. A former commentator on CNN from 2010 to 2013, today he regularly appears on Fox News.

The Hawks continued to falter Wednesday night, losing their 10th game in 11 contests as they lost on the road to the Boston Celtics, 115-104.
Atlanta was close until midway through the fourth quarter, when the Celtics (20-39) put them away for good. With the loss, the Hawks fell to 9-20 on the road and 26-31 overall while clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Hawks jumped out to an early 23-8 lead, but ran out of gas again later in the game in letting the Celtics come back. With four frontline players out, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer seemed resigned to knowing it'll be tough going forward.
"I think there was a lot of length, a lot of size that we are battling, and I think that when you look at the shot disparity, I think they had 90 shots to our 76, and I think they had 17 more rebounds," he said. "We had more turnovers, they had more offensive rebounds and all of that just becomes too much to overcome."
Jerryd Bayless, receiving his first start of the season for Boston, notched a season-high 29 points. Rajon Rondo had 22 points and 11 assists, while Gerald Wallace has a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Jeff Teague had 26 points and DeMarre Carroll had 24 points for the Hawks.
Atlanta's next game is Sunday at home against Phoenix (33-24).

The market fell slightly Friday, but nothing to cause any concern for bulls who have lived a charmed existence in 2012. The Dow dropped only 0.02% while the Nasdaq fell 0.43%. The steep uptrend remains intact, with the S&P above the 10-day moving average. Wednesday we saw some more aggressive selling, but the market rebounded the following day to put to rest any suggestion of an imminent correction.
Oil will continue to be a focal point over the next few months. President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set for talks over how to handle the Iran situation. The Middle Easter country is refusing to allow international inspectors into its nuclear facilities, and the threat of a nuclear weapon grows more likely by the day. The US prefers to stay the course with a more diplomatic approach, while Israel seems to prefer more aggressive action. Oil actually fell today as fears over a pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia subsided.
Gold will also be on traders' radars over the coming weeks after Wednesday's massive sell-off. The commodity has been stagnant over the past two sessions, and it will be interesting to see which way the next move takes place.
While the trend remains intact in the S&P, there are some warning signs out there about possible weakness on the horizon. The semiconductor ETF (SMH) is weak, rolling down a bit under the 10/20day moving average. The Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) has been weak, breaking the upper range. It is now also under both the 10/20day moving average curling lower.
Short term momentum/swing traders can do less here. Macro investors sit tight, as we should have much higher prices this year. Know your time frame and risk.
*DISCLOSURES: Scott Redler is long SPY, OIH, IBM, LNKD, GS, MS, ZNGA, SIMG. Short DIA, QQQ. Long AMZN puts.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. -
Fifteenth-ranked Arizona (13-4) got a stellar outing from sophomore Shelby Babcock and took advantage of three Long Beach State (6-9) errors in the Wildcats' 4-0 win over the 49ers to conclude the Cathedral City Classic.
Babcock celebrated her birthday Sunday, and two-hit Long Beach State while allowing only three base-runners all game, a career-best for a complete game performance. The sophomore struck out six in the game. Babcock improved to 6-4 on the season.
Three LBSU errors allowed three unearned runs to cross for Arizona. UA's defense was spot-free once again, expanding Arizona's streak to 10 games without an error.
Chelsea Goodacre went 2-for-3 in the contest with an RBI. The freshman had the only extra-base hit of the game - a double in the sixth.
Erin Jones-Wesley took the loss for Long Beach State, dropping her to 6-4 on the year. Jones-Wesley no-hit Arizona through 3.2 innings until Goodacre broke up the no-no bid. Jones-Wesley allowed just one earned run on five hits in seven innings.
Arizona loaded the bases in the second without a hit on a couple of walks and a LBSU fielding error. Goodacre recorded a sacrifice fly to give Arizona a 1-0 lead. The Cats would reload the bases on a two-out walk, but Hallie Wilson grounded out to second to end the threat.
UA loaded the bases once again in the fifth on three consecutive hits. Pinch-hitter Baillie Kirker drew a one-out, RBI walk to give Arizona a 2-0 lead. The bases were still loaded with just one out, but Erin Jones-Wesley got the next two Cats to strand the bases loaded.
The Cats would again load the bases in the sixth inning with the assistance of two errors and two walks. The two errors would produce runs and give Arizona a 4-0 lead it would not give up.
Arizona finished the Cathedral City Classic 5-1 with an overall record of 13-4. This week's performance brings Arizona's all-time record in the event to 27-4.
The Wildcats will be in action again this weekend when they welcome College of Charleston to Hillenbrand Stadium for a three-game series. Arizona and College of Charleston will face off Friday, Mach 2 at 6:00 p.m. MST to kick-start the series. Following the Saturday contest between the clubs, Arizona alumni will take on the Wounded Warriors; The UA game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. MST, with the Alumni-Wounded Warriors to begin at its conclusion.

Looking for something different this winter? Head to Patagonia, where the Southern Hemisphere summer guarantees plenty of sunshine.
Patagonia, which comprises the southern portions of Chile and Argentina, offers a fantastic array of options for travelers with a taste for adventure. Gorgeous national parks, glaciers, penguin colonies, trekking, ferry trips through fjords--it's all there. And one of the best ways to experience the Patagonian wilds is a trip to Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile.
Torres del Paine is one of Chile's most famous natural wonders. Its stunning views and wide variety of trails make it popular with casual backpackers, experienced trekkers and upmarket travelers alike. While it's true that the park receives more tourists during the Southern Hemisphere summer months of December, January and February, now is the time to go if you want a better chance of good weather. During the fall (mid-March through May) the park's weather can become increasingly fickle. You might get several perfect days of blue skies and sunshine, or you might get snow, sleet, hail, rain and brutal winds. It's nearly impossible to know in advance, especially since the weather changes so quickly. Whatever time of year you go, make sure you have the appropriate gear.
There are several options for getting to the park. Major US airlines such as Continental, American and Delta fly to Santiago, Chile, which takes about nine and a half hours direct from Houston (direct flights may sometimes be hard to find). If you can quickly plan a trip and leave this month (say, on the 20th) and stay for a few weeks, Continental's lowest fare from Houston--with a stop in Panama--is around $1400. Prices increase by about $1200 in February and March. American Airlines flights for the same date in January stop in DFW or Miami on the way out and back, and cost about $1100 (including taxes). Flying with Delta (with a stop in Atlanta) will cost just about the same. Neither American nor Delta show a fare increase for flights leaving in early February, but Delta shows an increase of about $400 in March, and American's fares go up by about $250.
From Santiago, the airline LAN Chile flies to Punta Arenas, one of the southernmost cities in the world, right on the Straits of Magellan ("Estrechos de Magallanes" in Spanish). (As an aside, make sure to take a tour of the Austral brewery, one of the premier artisan "cervecerías" in Chile. Try the El Calafate brew when it comes time to sample).
From Punta Arenas, visitors take a bus a bit further north to Puerto Natales, the closest town to the park. The place abounds with hostels (and has at least one nice hotel), but in high season you should still definitely book in advance. One extremely popular option is Erratic Rock. The hostel is run by an American expat who's been living in Chile for years. He and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and even run an in-house supply center where you can rent gear for the park (there are plenty of other hostels and a few stores in town that rent gear if you're staying elsewhere). While you're in Puerto Natales, take a trip to the restaurant la Mesita Grande to meet other travelers and indulge in some fantastic pizza.
Your hostel will help you arrange bus tickets to Torres del Paine. During the high season, morning and afternoon buses run between the park and Puerto Natales (but only in the morning during the low season).
It's also possible to fly from Santiago to Puerto Montt on LAN Chile and then take a bus or the Navimag ferry to Puerto Natales (the ferry also goes north, from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt, and takes four days). However, flying to Punta Arenas is the most direct route.
One you arrive at Torres del Paine, there are many different ways to explore the park. There are several different trekking circuits (read about them here) that take varying lengths of time to complete. You can camp at the campsites or stay at the "refugios" located at selected points along the trails. Camping is cheaper, but refugios offer food (sometimes for an extra charge) and sturdy shelter, which is quite nice when the weather is bad. Alternatively, visitors can stay at a number of hotels or hosterías around the park and take day walks or horseback rides. Several tour groups organize guided treks and visits. Check out the park website or a travel guide (I recommend the Rough Guide to Chile) for contact information.
If you've never traveled to Chile before, be aware that U.S. citizens flying into the country for the first time will have to pay a "reciprocity fee" of $131 in cash. A receipt will be stapled into your passport. The fee is a one-time fee and is valid until your passport expires. If you have any questions, contact the Chilean Consulate in Houston at 713-621-5853 or 713-963-9066.
Above all, do what works best for your level of physical fitness and the amount of time you have. Book in advance, but know that changing weather conditions in the park may mean that your plans need to be somewhat flexible once you get there. Happy travels!

New study elicits positive results on two fronts for people with sleep apnea.
Continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, may not only improve blood pressure in sleep apnea patients, it may also improve their overall quality of life.
"We found that CPAP was significantly able to reduce the blood pressure in both hypertensive and resistant hypertensive patients," Dr. Harneet Walia said.
The team of researchers evaluated the effects of CPAP on more than 850 people with sleep apnea and hypertension.
Some participants had what is called "resistant hypertension."
It's defined as blood pressure that remains high despite the use of 3 or more anti-hypertensive medications, including a diuretic.
Results show there was a reduction in blood pressure in the study's participants.
There was also an improvement in the quality of life of most of the participants.
"We found that CPAP in this group or population, which is hypertension and resistant hypertension was able to significantly reduce the sleepiness scores, the depressive scores, and the fatigue scores," Dr. Walia said.
Getting a sleep apnea patient's blood pressure under control is important because high blood pressure can lead to many heart problems.
That's why she recommends talking to your doctor if you show any signs or symptoms of sleep apnea.

Despite writing for a shoe blog, I will admit, I am a total flats girl. Don't get me wrong, I do love heels and wear them on special occasions and for particular outings, but I still always favor and admire flats despite the industry I work in. Actually, I had originally intended to sit down and write a roundup of heels of some sort, but as soon as I spotted these Isaac Mizrahi Zarek Poodle Flats, I knew they had to be covered.
I don't often find myself coveting printed flats; normally, I tend to stick with basic colors, flats adorned with gems or pointed-toe flats. Nonetheless, there's something about these cute little poodles that made me smile. As quirky as they may be, I can easily see these flats being incorporated into my fall wardobe. Actually, these flats would work perfectly with the outfit I am wearing today: a blush colored silk blouse, dark skinny jeans and a tan trench coat. If only I could add these black-and-white poodle flats immediately! They add a playful and quirky vibe which is the essence of my fall style.
Buy your Isaac Mizrahi Flats through Bloomingdale's for $130.

Housing Needs in New Hampshire
New Hampshire Housing commissioned a study on the state's future housing needs and preferences, performed by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies and Applied Economic Research. The purpose of the study was to gauge the amount and type of housing that needs to be generated over the next ten years, as well as identify the impacts demographic and market trends are having on the types of housing that Granite State residents want.
The study is made up of three parts: The first focuses on perceptions and preferences about housing; the second on housing the growing senior population; and the third on the future of housing in New Hampshire.
The reports will be released in April 2014. Please check back here for updates as they are released.
Part 1 - Big Houses, Small Households: Perceptions, Preferences and Assessment (Released April 9, 2014)
Part 2 - Senior Housing Perspectives (Released April 16, 2014)
Part 3 - The Evolving Environment and Housing's Future (Released April 23, 2014)

Fires spread more quickly in new homes, report says
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - House fires hurt or kill thousands of Americans each year, and now they're more likely to burn faster than ever.
That means you and your family will have less time to escape.
Flames engulfed this northland mansion in March.
Floor to ceiling and wall to wall, an entire home was lost in minutes.
"I was just looking up and I happen to look up and I saw a glow that I knew shouldn't be there," homeowner Patty Garney said.
Everyone made it out safely.
Documents list the cause as "undetermined."
Scenes like this can happen in an instant, now more than ever.
"We live in homes that are filled with things that burn fast, burn hot, and put out very deadly gas," Jason Rhodes with the Overland Park Fire Department said.
Just two decades ago, home furnishings were made mostly of wood natural fabrics and metal.
Those tend to take longer to catch fire than plastics that are now in your carpet, your couch and even your cell phone.
Rhodes says people need to be aware of what exactly is inside their house.
A new report from Underwriters Laboratory, a safety consulting organization, found fires burn more quickly nowadays, especially in newer homes which are built more efficiently.
"There's a chance that it's very air tight and it's also filled with perhaps some light weight construction materials that may not last as long when exposed to fire," Rhodes said.
Home safety expert Ron Hazelton says fires in new homes can become deadly in less than three minutes - much sooner than in older homes.
That's why Hazelton is pushing for fire sprinklers in homes.
Besides saving lives, sprinklers can also help prevent the $7 billion in property damage that fires cause each year.
"Studies have shown they can reduce the amount of damage in a home that were to have a fire by up to 70 percent," Drew Robbins, vice president of Jayhawk Fire Sprinkler, said.
Robbins sprinkler told 41 Action News customers who install sprinkler systems usually don't live close to a fire station or a hydrant.
"They're worried about response times from their fire department," Robbins said.
Just one sprinkler head can contain 85 percent of fires.
A sprinkler system can cost thousands of dollars to install in an average sized home being built.
"What we see in the Midwest is normally about $1.50 to $3 a square foot depending on finishes, customizations," Robbins said.
But that's for new construction.
The costs go up to retrofit an existing home.
Fire sprinklers are now required in new homes in California and Maryland.
Other states like Missouri failed to approve similar bills.
Kansas actually passed a law in 2012 that prevents cities and counties from requiring sprinklers in most homes.
"It's somewhat, in my opinion, counterintuitive that you know the state would mandate that you cannot force people in new construction to install a sprinkler system," Robbins said.
The National Fire Protection Agency, which sets fire safety standards across the country, encourages fire sprinklers in homes.
"Fire suppression device of any sort is great to have and the more you can afford and install the better but for some people it's probably impractical," Rhodes said.
The Overland Park Fire Department understands many people can't afford fire sprinklers, but they say you should at least have working smoke alarms.
"We rarely go to a fire that has working smoke alarms and find any kind of victims," Rhodes said.
Firefighters say it's usually the homes without working smoke alarms where they see tragedies.

The bill would also create a board of directors to "provide a quadrennial review of space programs and a vision for space exploration that will set a tone for NASA's endeavors to ensure American preeminence in the space industry," according to Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, one of the bill's co-sponsors.
The authors of the legislation say that 27 NASA programs have been canceled in the last 20 years at a cost to taxpayers of more than $20 billion. "We have filed this bill today to make NASA less political and more professional by modeling their internal leadership after the FBI and the National Science Foundation," Culberson said in a statement. "We also plan to make NASA funding more stable and predictable by enabling them to design and build new rockets and new spacecraft in the same way that the Navy designs and builds new submarines and ships."
Co-sponsors on the bill include Reps. Frank Wolf (R-Va), Bill Posey (R-Fla), Pete Olson (R-Tex), James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc) and Lamar Smith (R-Tex).

I'm reading Twenty Years of Attacks on the RSA Cryptosystem by Dan Boneh and trying to understand the proof of the Fact 1 on page 3.
Fact 1: Let $(N,e)$ be an RSA public key. Given the private key $d$, one can efficiently factor the modulus $N = pq$.
Dan says that since $\phi(N)=(p-1)(q-1)$ is even, $k=de-1=2^t r$ with $r$ odd and $t\geq1$. $k$ is a multiple of $\phi(N)$. Well, I tried to derive that formula for $k$, but didn't succeed. Any ideas?
