Facts and Myths Surrounding Morning Sickness
If you ask a new mother what they disliked most with their pregnancy, chances are morning sickness will rank somewhere at the top of the list. It's one of the most common symptoms with over 50% of pregnant women experiencing it. While it usually doesn't pose any serious health risks, it can still make an expecting mother's life miserable for the first few months. To make matters worse, there are a lot of misconceptions regarding morning sickness that may confuse some people. Here we're going to take a closer look at some of the facts and myths surrounding morning sickness.
As you may already know, morning sickness is a condition that causes nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. According to several medical study, over half of pregnant women experience some form of morning sickness. Typically, it's only characterized by vomiting and the dreaded feeling of being sick, but in some of the more severe cases pregnant women my suffer from dehydration, weight loss and hypokalemia. If you notice yourself losing weight as a result of morning sickness, you should immediately consult with your primary care physician, as there may be something more serious at hand.
When WIll I Experience Morning Sickness?
This is something that frequently confuses many pregnant women. While you may assume that it's only a condition that occurs during the morning when you first wake up, the fact is that you can experience morning sickness at any time of the day. Some pregnant women are even sick throughout the entire day, which can make everyday tasks and chores difficult to say the least.
Morning sickness generally starts around the 6th week of pregnancy and ends at 13th week; although, there are cases when it lasts for a longer period of time. By the 13th week, the sickness should begin to subside and you'll notice at least some form of relief in terms of nausea.
There are a couple different things you can do to help treat the pain and discomfort caused by morning sickness, one of which is to eat several small meals throughout the day. With a baby growing inside you, you're going to need extra food and nutrition. Try to get into habit of eating 6 small meals a day instead 2 or 3 large ones. Doing so will help keep your blood sugar up and hopefully reduce the effects of morning sickness. When you're traveling in the car for long periods of time, bring a couple packs of crackers in your purse just in case.

it's chapter nine people....
Darren and I have grown a lot closer since our… discussion. Mr.C's noticed and is clearly smitten. He keeps telling me about the vampire generals; Mr. C seriously sucks at being subtle. I know he's banking on me being one. But honestly, I don't think I want to be one. I love my freedom too much. Darren was excited yesterday because we ran in to a small pack of wolves. The oldest male is named Streak, there are two older females, one younger female, the younger male is called Rudi, and my personal favorite is the pup. He's completely black; I've named him Bandit, since he seems to like stealing Mr.C's red handkerchief. I won't lie and say that I discourage him from doing that! The older vampires avoided a single way station on the way up; we're now about 5-10 miles from the entrance of the mountain.
I asked Larten why, he refused to tell me… but Darren pulled rank on him and I found out that a vampire had been killed in there by a vampeneze when they first hiked up the mountain around 24 years ago. They just didn't feel comfortable around it, let alone in it. So I didn't complain. We managed to cover at least half of the last few miles. I am glad…. I'm really starting to get tired of all this waiting to get to the damn mountain. We reached the spot where Larten had told me about, we'd have to climb it, the guys took off their shirts, Vancha started to take off his pants but Darren and Larten snapped at him. I pretended to be ignorant to them and started climbing. Let Darren and Mr.C pretend that I'm still the innocent little girl the think I am. If you wondering, yes I know what a man looks like without clothes. Greta and I have browsed through, less than innocent magazines…. But enough of that. I've climbed trees and rocks before but never anything like this. I was pretty tired when we finally reached the top.
Running with the wolves was pretty cool. I started to notice just how similar wolves and vampires seemed to be. I know it sounds strange, but when I asked Mr.C happily told me how vampires came to be or what is believed to happen. The Vampires and wolves are kindred spirits because vampires used to be wolves. I've never seen Mr.C act like this. He seemed excited and scared at the same time.
I wondered why. Vancha and I get along but we're not friends, there is something about him. Something off…. Darren talks to Mr.C a lot, as if reassuring him of something I can help but wonder what. After a while the wolves left us. I was a little sad to see bandit go. "Wolves have an excellent memory; he will remember your face even when he is old and gray." Vancha told me, smiling. It wasn't long after that when we FINALLY reached the cave that we had to enter to get in to the mountain.
"What is all this stuff" I asked referring to the glowing greenish yellowish stuff that covered the cave walls that also lighted our way through the caverns. "Luminous lichen." Mr. C said simply. I looked at the vampire oddly, somewhat questioning his sanity. "Is that an answer or a tongue twister?" Darren laughed. Mr.C looked back at me. "It is a fungus that grows on the walls of these caves." I nodded. We followed the cave for what seemed like miles before we were greeted by a couple of vampire guards. Each of us had to address ourselves and our purpose before we were allowed to enter.
"Prince Darren Shan, I have come to seek council."
"Prince Vancha March, I have come to seek council."
"Larten Crepsley, I Have come to seek council." The guards looked unreasonably shocked to see Larten with us, but with a word from Darren it quickly vanished. Finally I had to announce myself. Problem was I technically didn't have a last name… So I took the one I'd known all my life.
"Nymphadora Crepsley, I have come to seek council." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mentor smile broadly. He really got a kick out of the fact that I truly considered him my father, we could easily pass as father and daughter though. We both had red hair, the same pail complexion, same attitude, similar features, the only thing that really set us apart were our eyes. Larten had grayish eyes that only hinted of green, while I had very vivid almost lime green eyes. The guards nodded and recognized us and permitted us to enter the mountain. Larten said we were early and later our names would be written down on a wall. I thought that was pretty cool.
I could only stand in awe at what I saw upon entering. "It's not much," Darren told me. "But its home. " I smiled broadly. "I think it's awesome." It was old fashioned, torches and some of the fungus and even some candles lit the halls. Vampires were everywhere. But few had taken notice of us. At least not yet. Darren and Vancha left us to join the other princes. Mr.C and I headed to a hall, similar to a giant hall and sat down at one of the tables. Larten got up to get us some food; I stayed at the table, just looking around at all the vampires, most were male, and they all looked pretty young. Not as young as me of course, but around 30 or 40 years old. I suddenly had the feeling that I was being watched. I looked in front of me and saw a vampire who could have easily passed as a much older Mr. Crepsley.
"Can I help you?" I asked him, he seemed to be in deep thought, just looking at me with a questioning look. "Oh I do so apologize. You simply remind me of someone I knew…" He trailed off, he seemed very sad. "My name is Seba Nile." He finally stated proudly and bowed. "Nymphadora Crepsley, but everybody just calls me Nyx." I motioned for him to sit down. Seba blinked as he did so. "You said your surname was Crepsley, did you not?"
I nodded. "Yeah, that's my last name… Why?" Seba didn't answer for a moment or two before he shook his head. "I am terribly sorry! I merely knew a vampire with that same surname and I thought, well for a moment…" He laughed softly and shook his head, "But that is simply not possible. That vampire died many years ago." I smiled sadly. "Was he your friend?" Seba sighed. "He was a former assistant of mine, I thought of him as a son… Forgive me I am an old man and am very sentimental. It is simply just uncanny of how closely you resemble him…" He waved it away. "No matter. You are quite young to be here alone. Your mentor is with you is he not?" I nodded, "Yeah. He's getting us something to eat and drink right now." I still couldn't stop looking around at the hall. It was like something out of a novel, or an Indianan Jones movie. Seba chuckled, "This is your first time to council, is it not?" I nodded. "And what do you think of Vampire Mountain?" I couldn't stop smiling. "It's amazing, it's like something you'd read about in a book. " Seba chuckled again. "I am glad that you think so highly of the vampire's capital." I almost didn't hear Seba talking, still too lost in my surroundings. I turned and saw Mr.C approaching, I waved at him to get his attention he was carrying two bowls of what looked like soup and two pints of blood. I wondered idly if he knew the vampire I was talking to. "Here we are, to bowls of broth and some blood; the meat will be along presently…" Larten spoke without noticing the vampire in front of me. Then I heard Seba gasp. "Larten… "
Mr.C looked up and froze. Both vampires were standing. Larten had an expression of sorrow, fear and shock on his face, while Seba just looked like he'd just seen a ghost. "It is I, Seba. " I looked back and forth between the two vampires. What was going on? Seba swept around to my side of the table and stopped right in front of Larten. I swear it looked like the older man was crying, or was about to, before the two vampires embraced like two long lost brothers. Larten murmured words of comfort to the older vampire. I raised an eyebrow at the scene. I was more than a little confused. I was even more confused when after the older vampire had released Larten from his "death grip", Seba scowled angrily and then plucked a hair from Larten ear!
"Hate to break up such an interesting moment but, would one of you kindly tell me what the hell is going on?" Larten looked at me then back at Seba, "Nyx, this is Seba Nile; he was my mentor when I was a vampires assistant." Okay that explained a few things. "Do you two always greet each other like this?" Seba spoke up, "Only when Larten allows me to think him dead for the past 24 years." I looked back at Larten waiting for him to explain. He sighed and motioned for Seba to sit as I had. Seba turned swiftly and sat back in his seat. Larten sat next to me, took a deep breath and started talking.
He told us both how he, Darren and Vancha had been chosen to defeat the vampeneze lord and their adventures. "Vancha and I had to fake our deaths so that the Vampeneze Lord would come forward to face Darren. Together we defeated him and several other vampeneze. But there were a few who got away without seeing us. I should have contacted you, Seba, but I honestly could not bring myself to face you after you thought I was dead. I was ashamed that I had lied to you and I hid for many years. It wasn't until 17 years ago that I contacted the Cirque to travel a bit and still stay out of sight." Larten looked at me and smiled. "A few years later I came across Nyx. She is the first born vampire, and my adoptive daughter." I smiled back at him. He rarely referred to me as his daughter to other people. Mr. C wasn't exactly a lovey dovey kind of guy. Seba sat back for a few minutes. "You have given me much to take in, Larten. I do not like your choices or your actions but I understand why you did so." Larten nodded. "Nor am I very pleased with you, Larten…. But you are alive and well. And for that I am joyful." Seba finally smiled at Larten and squeezed his shoulder. The tension in the air finally seemed to lift. This meeting was a bit surreal, I'd never really thought of my mentor having a mentor of his own…
"I forgive you, Larten." Seba stated. A huge smile broke out on his face as Larten clasped his mentor shoulders. "Arra, however… well, I would very much dislike being in your place when she finds out you are still living…" Seba chuckled. "Who's Arra?" I asked, now curious. Larten blush and stammered. "A friend of mine…" Seba scoffed, "A friend? Tell the child the truth Larten. "Seba turned to me, "Arra was Larten's mate many years ago. The two were joined at the hip… well of course not at first mind you, in fact, I recall the first time the two met. Your mentor Larten …." Larten cut him off, "Seba! Please, I do not need Nymphadora to know of my past affairs… if you would be so kind…" Seba ignored his former assistant. "Tried to best Arra at the bars, which is a game that vampires play. It is a simple one, you use a staff to knock your opponent off of the bars on which you stand on, and the first one to be knocked off of the bars losses. You see, Arra is infamous for her talent on the bars she, at the time, had gone undefeated for over four years. Larten made the mistake of thinking he could beat her and in turn woo her with his strength. Arra however beat him, knocking him off the bars in mere moments. Needless to say she was not impressed. The two hated each other for a great while after that." Seba was chuckling, and I laughing. I could scarcely believe that my mentor, Mr. Pain in the neck Perfect man, would do something like that! "He really did that?" I was still laughing. "Indeed. But I would not mock him about it too much. He is your mentor, and he will always outwit you." I slowly calmed down, but I couldn't stop smirking at Lartens embarrassment. It was nice to see the old hack being taken down a peg. Larten gave me his famous 500 megawatt death glare. I was too busy enjoying Seba's story to pay him much notice. "But I will say, Larten has grown up a bit since then." I grinned up at my mentor. Yeah, I loved the old hack, even if he was a bit of a prude sometimes. I started eating, not really caring what it was, I was hungry. Drinking from such a large pitcher was odd but I got the hang of it. I ate the meat brought to us bloody. It wasn't the best of food but it was better than nothing at all.
Seba then addressed Larten, changing the subject. The two vampires discussed old times, politics, I lost track of the subjects just listening to their voices and watching the smoke from the torches curl and spin. I soon found myself leaning against my mentor's chest and soon drifted to sleep.
(Larten and Seba)
Larten looked down at his now sleeping assistant. "She was tired." Seba stated simply. Larten smiled lovingly, stroking her fiery hair. "We have had a very long journey, longer than usual." He chuckled. "How did you come across her, Larten?" Larten pulled Nyx closer, wrapping a part of his cape around her. "I found her in a dumpster, when she was five months old. Her parents, I believe, were killed by a vampeneze, but I have no proof of such. She is the first born vampire… Of that I am certain." Seba sat forward. "The first born… Amazing… And I will assume that the fact that the reason why she bears an uncanny resemblance to you is merely luck?" Seba chuckled. "Luck of the vampire…" Larten responded. Seba stretched and yawned. Most of the hall was now empty. "Come, lets us all retire for the day. I have a few rooms open; you may take your pick. Nymphadora can pick her room tomorrow night."
"Nyx…" Larten corrected absently. "Pardon?" Seba questioned. "She does not like to be called Nymphadora; she prefers to be called Nyx." Larten explained. "I see." Seba stood as Larten gathered Nyx in to his arms and followed Seba to the rooms where they could stay for the nights while they were in council.
(Larten and Nyx, in coffin)
Larten sighed contently with Nyx snuggled against him. He loved to go to sleep like this. His daughter beside him, safe and sound. "I love you my little bat." He muttered to her, kissing her forehead. Before gathering her up against him, a blanket draped over them, and fell in to a deep and peaceful slumber himself.

Sausage Seasoning
The sausage that made Milwaukee famous. Milwaukeeans love sausage, and brats are the sausage for grilling out at tailgate parties and BBQ's at Brewer and Packer games. Traditionally made with pork or a pork/veal mix, and almost as tasty (although not as authentic) with beef. Use 1 TB. seasoning per pound, plus ¼ tsp. MSG if desired. If made in casings, simmer gently in a mix of 2/3 water, 1/3 beer, with 1 large sliced onion for 30 min before grilling. Remove onions to serve on the brats later (with mustard). Brats with kraut are also popular. Remember, the bun must be a chewy, crusty one. Hand-mixed from: salt, white pepper, mustard, nutmeg, onion.

Carlos Alves said he was appalled when he saw what happened to Henry Walther's car, a story that aired on NBC 10.
Someone scratched a gay slur into the side of his car.
"It's because of things like this that people become aware. Some people need a slap in the head to wake up," said Alves, who manages Gershkoff Auto Body in Cranston.
Alves's wife sent NBC 10 an email and the station forwarded it to Walther. It was one of dozens.
"It's an eye opener. I never thought it my wildest dreams when I agreed to speak to (NBC 10), someone would reach out to me, and try to help me. There's lots of people who did and I'm very thankful," Walther said.
Walther said he was harassed as a teen for being gay. He said back then his school and police did nothing to help.
"When things like this happen, it feels like it was done to me," Alves said.
Alves said his daughter is gay, and he and his wife helped in the efforts to pass Rhode Island's marriage equality bill this year.
So Alves convinced the owner of Gershkoff Auto Body to fix Walther's car, a Pontiac Sunfire, for free.
"The damage on the car is not a lot of damage. It's not a big deal. But for someone like him, it is," Alves said.
Alves said a new paint job could cost more than $1,000.
He said workers were going to take off door handles, side mirrors and other items so they can repaint Walther's car.
Alves said they'll erase the slur by sanding it down to bare metal. Then they'll prime it, sand it again and finally paint it.
The hateful word will disappear but not the hate that led to the damage.
"I hope when people see the follow-up story, they see there may be a lot of evil in the world, but there's a lot of good in the world," Walther said.

Good Direct Replacement by Wisconsin Guy, September 26, 2009
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
I ordered this product as a replacement for my girlfriend's car, Pontiac G6. Delivery was good and on time. Product arrived safely. This was the first time that I have replaced a hub bearing on a car. Anyway I ordered two (one for each side) otherwise I hear that the other side will go out shortly after. So I saved some money for buying two, it was like only $10 but it all adds up. The quality from my point of view was just a direct replacement and nothing special, but it serves my purpose.

This month Everton and Chang are celebrating Songkran.
The most eagerly-anticipated three days of the Thai calendar began on Saturday as the country welcomes in its new year.
The Songkran festival takes place from 13-15 April as the population pays homage to Buddha in a celebration that embraces goodwill, love, compassion and water fights!
The Everton players have been getting involved too, with Nikica Jelavic and Apostolos Vellios splashing around in the swimming pool at Finch Farm and Marouane Fellaini trying his hand at cooking Thai cuisine.
During the celebrations Thai people clean their houses and show respect to their elders through the sprinkling of water, though in recent years it has become traditional for Thais to take to the streets with water guns and garden hoses to drench each other and passers-by!
This is often a welcome relief as April is one of the hottest months in the Southeast Asian country with temperatures regularly reaching 40 degrees Celsius.
The significance of the water, which is commonly infused with fragrant herbs, is to symbolise the washing away of negativity and misfortune from the previous 12 months.
As ever, everyone at Everton would like to say Sawadee Pi Mai (Happy New Year) and Sawadee Songkran (Happy Songkran) to all our Thai supporters and, of course, to our main partner Chang.

TULSA, OK -- Four children were taken from a Tulsa mother after Tulsa Police said they found them living in unsafe conditions Friday night. The mother, Melody Brooke Larson, 30, was arrested on numerous complaints, including four counts of child endangerment and trafficking in methamphetamines.
Feces, uncapped needles, broken glass and prescription drugs were all found within reach of the children ages 19 months, 2, 3, 7 and 10 years of age.
"The entire house was a danger to children," said Corporal Kurt J. Gardner of the Tulsa Police Department.
The police arrived at the residence in the 9000 block of East 37th Street at 9:24 p.m. with a search warrant. They found Larson in the living room and three of the children present at the house. The search revealed 28.24 grams of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine.
"There were numerous needles in the back room, some uncapped and some capped," Gardner said in his report.
"There was human feces on the tile floor. There were numerous prescription drugs within reach of a child," he continued.
"There was human blood that was sprayed on the wall of the master bath from someone using a needle to ingest drugs. These needles with human blood were within reach of a child," he said.
Gardner also noted broken glass on the floor of the kitchen, trash and dirty clothes strewn throughout the house.
Larson's four children, including one that had left with the grandmother, were taken to the Department of Human Services.
Larson was booked on a total of 12 complaints including felony child endangerment (four counts), trafficking in methamphetamine, and six outstanding warrants for traffic complaints.

Rockstar Developing Cutting-Edge Engine For Next-Gen Platforms
Adam Barnes
The GTA 5 developer is looking to the future and is creating a core game engine with next-gen in mind.
Published on Dec 7, 2012
While GTA 5 won't be on PS4 or Xbox 720, it's clear Rockstar is looking to create an engine that will be ready for next-gen when it does finally roll around.
A job listing for a Core Engine Programmer at Rockstar North - the team based in Edinburgh and the ones currently working on GTA 5 - suggests that Rockstar is looking to build a next-gen engine.
The position is for "an experienced programmer to focus on core engine development" at Rockstar.
The job ad then claims the position "is an exciting opportunity to develop cutting-edge architectures and high performance systems for current and next-gen platforms."
It'll task the successful candidate with implementing all aspects of a game engine, from rendering and graphics to effects and lighting.
An additional role advertised on the site - for a Physics Programmer - ties into this new engine development. Though there's no mention of next-gen in this job posting, the successful candidate will be creating "cutting-edge physics and collision systems."
One of the requirements for this role even asks that the applicant has "prior experience driving and developing a physics engine", tying into the fact that Rockstar is looking to either develop a new game engine or evolve its current Rockstar Advanced Game Engine used in GTA 4.
Next-gen GTA, or something else entirely? What do you think?

"These cookies taste as good as they look," says Loraine Meyer. The Bend, Oregon cook often rolls them in walnuts and bakes them for friends and family at Christmas.
18 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min./batch
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons brown sugar blend
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
9 red
green candied cherries, halved
In a small bowl, beat butter and brown sugar blend until well
blended. Beat in the oil, egg yolk and vanilla. Combine flour and
salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well.
Shape into scant 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking
sheets; flatten slightly. Bake at 375° for 5 minutes. Remove
from the oven.
Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, carefully make an indentation
in the center of each (cookie edges will crack). Fill each with a
candied cherry half. Bake 6-8 minutes longer or until edges are
lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

The Detroit Lions signed Norwegian kicking sensation Havard Rugland to add training camp depth on Thursday. Terms of the contract were not released by the team.
Havard Rugland will compete against veteran kicker David Akers, who signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions last week. The Detroit Lions had been looking for a replacement to kicker Jason Hanson, who retired just a day before David Akers' signing, after completing 21 seasons in the league.
The left-footed kicker Havard Rugland played amateur soccer in Norway before developing an interest in football during 2011. Since last November, Havard Rugland has been training in San Deigo at former NFL kicker Michael Husted's training camp.
Havard Rugland initially rose to prominence through a youtube video titled "Kickalicious" in which he won which he performed several trick-shots. The video went viral as Havard Rugland gained more tham 2.7 million views on youtube.
Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz said at the NFL League Meeting last month that the team first came across Havard Rugland on youtube as well as through league channels.
With the newfound hype he was gaining, Havard Rugland won a workout with the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns by the end of the 2012 season. Havard Rugland also visited the Detroit Lions last month, although he went empty handed at the time.
Typically Detroit Lions carry two kickers at this point in the year for competition and to preserve the legs of their specialists. Usually one is favorite to win the job, in this case David Akers, who despite his 2012 disappointing season has NFL experience.
Last season, the six-time Pro Bowler David Akers 13 of 42 field goals for the San Francisco 49ers while battling through a hip injury.
However, Havard Rugland will wait for his opportunity to impress the coaches when he is called upon. It will be an interesting competition since both players are left-footed.
Lions add Norwegian sensation Havard Rugland to kicking competition

This is actually a pretty typical afternoon for you.
There are times when you really hate being a SEA DWELLER. Being at the bottom of the hemospectrum sucks roe. On days like this, you half consider slicing off your own fins. It won't change your blood color, but even trying to pass as a SUBJUGGLATOR would be better than being a sea dweller.
But you'd much rather slice off the head of the next LAND DWELLER that looks at you funny.
You can't do that, though. Not unless you want to get culled on the spot.

"Boot Camp" portion of #Knicks camp is now over, as the focus will change. What's ahead as preseason arrives:
"Boot Camp" portion of #Knicks camp is now over, as the focus will change. What's ahead as preseason arrives:
"I'm impressed with everybody," Mike Woodson said of the results of a hard week of conditioning drills. "Guys came back in shape. I mentioned this when we started that we were going to do a lot of running because I believe in order to play, you've got to be conditioned to play. They've gotten through most of the running part of camp and now we're starting to scale back a little bit and start to teach and put in some offensive sets." Woodson said Sunday would be a "slow day," to allow the players to get their legs back under them after a tough week. But the pace will be back up for Monday's practice, with the first preseason game coming on Thursday at Washington. Woodson implemented some defense during the week and on Saturday started putting in the foundations of the offense. Expect to see a lot of the same pick-and-roll sets we saw with Mike D'Antoni, only with a lot more motion from the other players. It's similar to what most teams run in the NBA these days. Woodson was pleased with what he saw in scrimmages, noting that an aggregate of 35 points were scored in 18 minutes, which suggests the players picked up the sets quickly. Aside from the injured players (Camby, Stoudemire, Brewer and Shumpert), the only player who did not participate in the scrimmages was Rasheed Wallace. "He's not ready yet," Woodson said.

Leica S2: Ten minutes with you (video hands-on preview)
Curious about the Leica S2? Can't find it at the local Best Buy? ;-) Steve Huff has a 10-minute hands-on video preview with the Leica S2. It's so big it blocks out the sun! Also there, a few snapshots from the camera. More action on the S2 is coming in the next few days/weeks!
Pentax fans may be interested at the 9-minute mark, where the previewer says that he likes the Pentax K-7 more than the Canon 7D. Oh my! :)

Is there anything more important to you and your family than your health?
Assuming the answer is no, just how do you go about finding the right doctor to meet the needs of those you care about? If you put your finger up in the air to see which way the wind blows when it comes to selecting a physician, good luck.
In order to find the right doctor and set aside any concerns you may have, by all means give them a good check up, especially if you have or will be relocating to a new town.
Among the ways to review each doctor's resume:
* Word-of-mouth – This is one of if not the best ways to find the right doctor for your medical needs. Check with family, friends and even co-workers to see who they recommend. Oftentimes, they can point you in the right direction, especially given how many doctors today only specialize in certain areas of healthcare. If you find that several people are recommending one specific doctor to you, it certainly can't hurt you to check them out;
* Online search – With LinkedIn and other professional services available to most folks today, this is another good avenue to travel when needing a doctor. Look at their qualifications, how long they have been in practice, what areas of medicine they specialize in, and which doctor's office, clinic, and/or hospital they are tied to. By all means, review a handful of doctors in the specialty you require so that you have a number of choices to go with;
* Social media – More and more physicians are turning to social media to not only promote their backgrounds and qualifications, but also to engage with current and potential patients. By checking a doctor or clinic's Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn pages, you can gain a lot of information on each practicing physician. Social media is also a great way to determine which doctors actually engage with patients in real-time. If they do not follow up patient questions with timely and informative information, it may give you an idea of the potential lack of service and care you may get from them. Yes, many doctors are either too busy for social media or don't even know how to handle such accounts, but more of them are at least trying to have a social presence;
* In-person – Lastly, try out different physicians in person to see which one best meets your healthcare needs. There is nothing wrong with asking them in person about their medical backgrounds, how long they have practiced, what their typical doctor to patient care is like, and whether or not they can actually be of help to you. While there is obviously a great deal of competition among doctors for your business, most will do the right thing and recommend someone else if they feel they are not fully qualified to assist you. This is especially true when it comes to the general family doctor recommending you to a specialist.
Even though many patients only get a few minutes of time from their doctors per visit, finding out just how qualified your physician is should never be left to chance.

Gamecast: May 29th vs. Dodgers
Chad Billingsley (6-2, 2.82 ERA) vs. Ted Lilly (5-4, 3.77 ERA)
Story Lines
School's out for Summer! Oh, well that doesn't really apply to the Cubs, but it does to me, and it is cause for celebration. What does that mean? Well, I hope it means a Cubs victory today.
The Cubs lost a tough one last night, and they try and rebound against the Dodgers' best pitcher, Chad Billingsley.
Sorry for the lateness of the post, but I was getting grades done at school and it's my wife's 30th birthday today.
Who's Hot
Can we just skip this?
Who's Not
The Cub offense.
It will tough for the Cubs today, but I think we win in honor of my wife.
Note From Kurt
It would be nice to see the Cubs pummel the hottest team in baseball, but it seems that the Cubs and Dodgers tend to play pretty close games. As we noted yesterday a speedy, nit-picky Los Angeles team exposes the flaws in the way the Cubs have been built. ie - Chicago doesn't do enough to prevent the steal and aggressive base-running from playing a big factor in the outcome of a game. Fortunately most teams don't play with that style, but the Dodgers have a number of players who wanna hold that base for a while.
The thing is, it's never easy and can sometimes be heart-breaking but the Cubs can beat the nit-picky teams. It's when the nit-picky team has that added element - and last October it was Manny and his long bombs - that it becomes a fruitless exercise in frustration.
Not that this contributes anything to the GameCast, I just thought I'd point it out. Go Cubs!
Game Recap: Dodgers 2, Cubs 1 - Wells couldn't buy a win right now
Your name is Randy Wells. You are a relatively unheralded 26-year-old who regrettably shares a resemblance with Kevin Federline. You are playing for the team that drafted you as a catcher and thought so highly of you as a pitcher that they left you unprotected for the Rule V draft -- resulting in your first cup of coffee in the majors with the Blue Jays last year. Now you're back, and, although you've been ridiculously good in your first 4 starts this year, nobody is giddy with your potential and it seems as if you couldn't buy a win with all your bonus money.
In last night's game against the Dodgers Wells did it again. He threw 7 innings and -- although the Dodgers knocked him around early -- he only walked 1 and surrendered 2 earned runs. His ERA is now 1.80, he's got 23 strikeouts in 25 innings, and he's not only winless but mokes like me are planning ahead to when -- not if, but when -- he'll get demoted to the bullpen.
Perhaps the term that best describes how that happened last night could be this: offensive druthers.
While Wells was trying to save the ship, the Cubs as a team collected 9 hits, 3 walks, and grounded into 4 double plays. In fact, every Cubs regular got at least one hit but, had Bobby Scales! not made the most of his return trip to the majors with a homerun*, the Cubs would've been shut out. This is frustratingly despite the Cubs stranding 5 men on base in the final 2 innings - 4 of whom reached their base before there'd been a single out. Maybe Carlos broke all their run-scoring bats in a fit of anger?
(*Gabby Hartnett had his Homer in the Gloamin', Bobby Scales! has his now-legendary Please Don't Demote Me Again Dinger. Not quite as catchy)
The one thing this game really reminded me of was last October. The Dodgers are the kind of team that's built to give the Cubs trouble. They run a lot, their pitchers surrender groundballs, and they'll beat you on singles and steals. You know, if this game reminded us of anything it isn't that the Cubs should desperately do something to rattle Soto's cage but, instead, maybe they should recognize that at the best of times -- when his shoulder isn't gimpy -- he's never going to be Hank Whitesque when it comes to gunning down base runners. As much as I love Three Finger Hill, maybe the Cubs need to look for that catcher with the Chip Caray "lazer-beam" arm.
I digress. The Cubs play tonight ... for vengence!
Gamecast: May 28th vs. Dodgers
Randy Wolf (2-1, 3.01 ERA) vs. Randy Wells (0-1, 1.50 ERA)
Story Lines
It's the battle of the Randy's today as Wolf takes on Wells in a 12-round fight. Err, 9-round? Oh, forgot it. Anyway, the Cubs come into tonight's matchup smoking hot. They've scored 19 runs in three games against a dynamic foe. Who am I kidding? Ok, the Cubs did what they had to do to beat the Pirates, now they must face the best team in baseball, not to mention the enemies of last year's .....well, you know.
Wells has been as solid as a call up could be. Too bad he hasn't won a game thanks to Kevin Gregg and some lackluster offense. Wells will have his hands full tonight with the Dodgers. Right now the Dodgers lead the league in BA, Runs, and OBP. Their only 2nd in OPS, and fourth in Slugging.
The Cubs are only 4-games out of first with everybody else off tonight. So, this is an excellent chance to gain a little ground.
Carlos Zambrano continues to dominate the news a day after his gentle disagreement. The more I look at the video, the more I believe the ump bumped into Big Z. The word just came down, and Z will get six games. My guess is it is reduced to five games and he won't miss a start. It will probably be reduced on appeal, and Z will miss one start at most. With an off say on Monday, the Cubs could just adjust the rotation without calling up anybody.
In other news, Ryan Freel was placed on the DL, and Bobby Scales was called back up. I hope he actually didn't make it Iowa, but if did at least he got some airline miles for his troubles.
Who's Hot
Mike Fontenot - don't look now, but Fontenot is 6-for-15 in his last six games. He's not driving in runs, but he has to start somewhere.
Geovanny Soto - Geo is still not hitting for power, but he is drawing walks and getting on base. He's got five hits in his last five games. Now, if we can only get a few more HRs.
Ryan Theriot - After a little slump, Theriot started hitting again. He went 3-for-3 yesterday.
Jake Fox - Ok, I know it's early, but the man just hits. He's got a 3.00 OPS right now (I know it's just one AB).
Who's Not
Light hitting middle infielders - Aaron Miles and Ryan Freel now find themselves on the better side of the DL in many Cub fan hearts. The good thing was that neither of them were really hitting.
Derrek Lee - Lee had a 0-for-3 yesterday and is up to .246 on the year. We really need to see a few more 2-for-4 days with some 2B's and HR's.
The Cubs should destroy Randy Wolf, but stranger things have happened. Wells is long overdue for win, and I think he picks it up tonight.
Gamecast: May 27 vs. Pirates
Zach Duke (5-4, 2.77 ERA) vs. Carlos Zambrano (3-2, 4.64 ERA)
The Cubs won a game yesterday. Can you believe it? I will repeat it for effect: the Cubs won a game yesterday! It's about time. I'm not one to go all doom and gloom, but a eight-game losing streak will get on anybody's nerves, including the most faithful of Cub fans.
Today, the Cubs go for their first series win in ages (ok, I know it is only a couple weeks, but still). They will send Carlos Zambrano to the mound against notorious Cub killer Zach Duke.
This is another in a string of lefties the Cub will face in the next couple days. Do you know what that means? Reed Johnson better get some extra BP.
Believe it or not, the Cubs are only four games back heading into today's matchup. Of course they can't gain any group with the Cardinals and Brewers playing each other.
In good news, the offense has shown signs of life. After being shutout for what seems like two solid weeks, the Cubs have scored 14 runs in the last two games (too bad it only meant one victory).
UPDATE: As I was writing this, the Cubs made three moves to improve the ball club. It looks like Bobby Scales and Neal Cotts are headin to AAA, while Aaron Miles is going on the DL. Jason Waddell takes the lone lefty spot on the roster, while Jake Fox is called up. I would think that Fox would get a start today against the lefty. Also, the Cubs called up Andres Blanco, who was playing SS in AAA. We will see how many of these guys get a start.
Who's Hot
Kosuke Fukudome - Say what you want from the man from Japan, but he continues to look good. He hit his fifth home run yesterday that gave the Cubs a lead they wouldn't lose. He's also the only Cub regular that is active and hitting over .300.
Mike Fontenot - This may be a little early, but Theriot's double play partner had two more hits last night. That gives him five hits in three games. He might get the day off with the Cubs facing a lefty again today.
The Cubs Pen - They were perfect last night. They didn't allow a run during the rain delay and kept Marshall's 6-1 lead in tact. Also, the Cubs get Carlos Marmol back today after his wife gave birth. So, that's a plus.
Who's Not
Ryan Freel, Aaron Miles and any other player that's not Mark DeRosa - Freel went 0-for-3 last night and saw his average slide to .125. Miles is killing it with a .204 average.
The Cubs really, really need to win. It's going to be tough since Carlos is still working his way back from his injury, while the Pirates toss Duke. I think the Cubs win in a close one, hopefully with a home run from new Cub Jake Fox.
GameCast: May 25th - Pirates vs. Cubs
We have on one hand the worst team in the NL Central with a long history of losing, a sick fan base, and no promise of a better 2009. We have on the other hand the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wait, what?
Start that over.
If ever there was a team the hapless Pirates could sweep, it would be not the 2009 Cubs, but the May 17th-May 24* 2009 Cubs. The Cubs of the past week have been bad. Real bad. They've been turn your hair grey and make you kiss a guy bad. But unless this is 1904, the Cubs offense is bound to average more than 1.5 runs a game. Things are going to get better.
(*date could change)
Who's Hot
Let's just skip this section for now. Nobody on the offense is hot. With apologies to Reed Johnson -- who hit a dinger yesterday -- it takes more than one hit in a game to be "hot" and the Cubs offense is about as cold as your wife would be if she discovered that you just bought your favorite car without consulting her.
However, the Cubs rotation has been pretty damned good. In the past 7 days, as a team their ERA has been below 4. You would think that a sub-4 team ERA would warrant at least a .500 record rather than 7 straight losses, but... well ... no.
Who's Not
In particular, Aaron Heilman has been getting his ass kicked as of late - he's allowed 3 runs in his last 2 innings of work and he was at least partly responsible for Ted Lilly's recent bad performance. (Not in the sense that he kicked Lilly in the back of the head before the 5th inning or anything, but rather in the sense that Lilly exited disgracefully with runners on and Heilman failed to keep them from scoring.)
The Cubs offense, by the way, is batting -- as a team, mind you -- .160 in the last 7 days. Subtract the prodigeous contributions of Derrek Tiberius Lee and that's a .137 team AVG. Speaking of Lee, 125 at bats into 2009 and he is still DP free. Just wanted to remind you.
Jason said it best earlier. Best bring your brooms to Wrigley Field, biatches. There's gonna be some sweepin' to do in a coupla days! SWEEEEEEE...
GameCast: May 24th - Cubs vs. Padres; I return
Woof. Look what I missed -- when I left, the Cubs were starting to look good. They'd put things together. They were stringing together a nice little streak. Then I go on vacation and everything falls apart. The offense dies, the readers are angry, the writers are dejected, and it's still only May!
Well, my brothers, this is baseball for us. We're in the pit right now looking out but without hope. No matter what happens it's going to be this point in time that really defines the season for the Cubs. Either this is where they come together, climb out, and play the baseball we know they're capable of, or this is the beginning of where everything ends.
I don't know which one it is, but I do know this: people - be they fans or players - who quit on a baseball team with a winning record this early in the season do not have the right to call themselves fans and are not the kinds of players I'd want on the team I follow. So if that sounds like you, scram kiddo. We're not the place for you, yet.
Who's Hot
Not the Cubs. Haw! I kill me. Seriously:
In the week I've been gone, Derrek Lee has batted .458 -- that's 11 for his last 24, with 2 homeruns but a meager 3 RBI. I could have sworn that Rob just published an article like, yesterday, in which he wrote "Derrek Lee is not only still struggling, but he's now doing it in the cleanup spot." I guess maybe he's watching baseball from the alternate Fringe universe?
But seriously, it's a lonely offense for Lee right now because he's the only one hitting anything.
Who's Not
Let's see. Ryan Theriot - 3 for 25, .120 AVG in his last 7 games.
Alfonso Soriano - 4 for 22, .182 AVG.
Milton Bradley - 3 for 20, .150 AVG.
Kosuke Fukudome - 4 for 20, .200 AVG.
Mike Fontenot - 3 for 17, .176 AVG.
Geovany Soto - 4 for 17, .235 AVG.
Aaron Miles - 1 for 11, .091 AVG.
Micah Hoffpauir - 2 for 10, .200 AVG.
Bobby Scales - 0 for 10, .000 AVG.
That's 9 Cubs, 152 at bats, and 24 hits, for a .158 Team AVG (minus Derrek Lee). That's also 5 RBI between all 9 over those 152 at bats.
Friends, this offense is capable of doing better than hitting like Randy Johnson. I'm just saying.
I've been gone for a week. I've clearly missed a lot. Rich Harden went onto the DL for a non-arm related reason. Colin re-appeared after having vanished and I never knew that a single-sentence post could bring me such joy, even as it lamented the bad news of Harden's problems. The Cubs have gotten hammered.
I'll have the Game Recap tonight and tomorrow I'll cook up a longer piece on the shape of the team, but I'll just say it again in case it didn't set in earlier...
This team is better than its .158 AVG this past week. Stop being a baby. Let them work it out.
GROTA News
Just a quick couple of post script comments...
First, thanks so much to AJ, Yarbage, and the rest for keeping the ship floating while I was gone. I appreciate their hard work and I hope you guys appreciate their hard work too.
Second, we'll have a new GROTA skin coming soon that's going to knock your socks off, assuming we can pull it off. Stay tuned for that too.
Third, go Cubs.
Gamecast: May 23rd vs. Padres
Randy Wells (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Josh Geer (0-1, 5.61 ERA)
Story Lines
The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling!
Ok, I know it has been a rough few days, but all is not lost. The offense won't be this bad forever, and hopefully the pitching will continue to perform. Right now the Cubs need to string a few wins together and get the offense going.
Rich Harden has been moved to the DL, so Randy Wells and Sean Marshall will continue to make starts in the mean time. Tonight, Randy Wells will make the start.
Wells has been strong in his last two starts, but he has worked out of a lot trouble in the first two starts. I like what I've seen out of Wells and he might be really useful this season when guys go down.
Who's Hot
Kosuke Fukudome - Nobody has more than one hit last night, but Kosuke had one hit and three walks. He continues to be biggest surprise of the season.
Who's Not
Pretty much everbody else. There is no reason to beat a dead horse, so I won't.
The Cubs are in a funk, but at least they are only four games back right now. It could be much worse. People do not give up hope. I really believe that we will turn this thing around.
Gamecast: May 21st vs. Cardinals
Sean Marshall (2-2, 4.02 ERA) vs. Adam Wainrwright (3-2, 3.83 ERA)
Story Lines
The Cubs hope to find their offense tonight against Adam Wainwright, after two days of nothing. The Cubs have looked lifeless on offense, and if it weren't for a two-out pinch hit single by Micah Hoffpauir the Cubs would've been shut out twice in a row.
Both games have been close thanks to good pitching preformances from Ted Lilly and Ryan Dempster. Tonight, Sean Marshall takes the mound in possibly his final start, before getting moved to the pen to replace our favorite lefty Neal Cotts. I don't know if that is a good move, but Lou hasn't used him in weeks.
The Cubs are still 3 games back after the Brewers lost to the Astros last night. There isn't much to say after the last two nights.
The other news involves Jake Peavy, who once was rumored to be heading to the North Side. There is a chance he could be headed to the White Sox. I know some people are upset about this, but the Cubs really need offense right now and not starting pitching. Now, if we could trade for a lefty in the pen or another solid bullpen guy, that might actually help.
Who's Hot
The Cardinal pitchers - the Cubs have scored 1 run in two games.
Who's Not
The Cub hitters - they have manged 1 run in two days.
The Cubs need to score about five runs in the first inning just to take the pressure off themselves. I've predicted wins in the last two nights. So no predictions tonight. I just hope the Cubs put a better fight.
Gamecast: May 20th vs. Cardinals
Ryan Dempster (4-3, 4.65 ERA) vs. Chris Carpenter (1-0, 0.00 ERA)
Story Lines
The Cubs sucked last night. How do I know? Well, they made a case for Joel Pineiro as a Cy Young Award Winner. They got three hits none after the fifth inning. Also, they didn't draw a walk, which is odd for them.
Tonight the Cubs face a pitcher that has been out since early April in Chris Carpenter. He should be rusty, and the Cubs should be ok, but last night has me a little worried.
Ryan Dempster toes the mound for the Cubs. He has been solid of late, and hopefully he has turned a corner.
One positive thing happened last night, Mike Fontenot got a hit. Yay! Now, lets string a few more together.
Who's Hot
Derrek Lee - He got another hit last night, so that is a positive sign.
Hmm? The Milwaukee Brewers. Those crazy cheeseheads have won 7 in a row and lead by 3 games now.
Who's Not
Geovanny Soto and Milton Bradley - Both guys are back below .200 again.
The Cubs looked bad last night, so it would be nice for them to get in a groove to take this series. The Brewers and Cardinals have played out of this world for different stretches, and now it is time for the Cubs to get hot.
Gamecast: May 19th vs. Cardinals
Ted Lilly (5-2, 3.27 ERA) vs. Joel Pineiro (4-3, 4.17 ERA)
Story Lines
The Cubs and Cardinals renew their rivalry in St. Louis tonight. The two teams seem to be heading into opposite directions. The Cardinals are 3-7 in their last 10, while the Cubs are 7-3.
The Cubs would be in first place if it weren't for the red-hot Milwaukee Brewers. As it stands, the Cubs are two games back of the Brewers.
The Cubs have put together a 21-15 record with all kinds of players who haven't played well or are injured.
Tonight the Cubs send Ted Lilly to the mound against Joel Pineiro. The Cubs probably have the better of the match ups tonight, but stranger things have happened.
Who's Hot
Derrek Lee - Hello Derrek, welcome to the 2009 season, even if it took him 36 games. In his last seven games, Lee's hitting .333 with 1.012 OPS. I really hope he is breaking out and not just a quick flash in the pan.
Kosuke Fukudome - Who's hitting .400 in his last seven? Well, if you guessed Fukudome, you're right. He's not hitting for power, but he has .454 OBP.
Angel Guzman - He is quickly overtaking Aaron Heilman as the 7th Inning
pitcher. He has looked dominate in the last couple outings, which is
Who's Not
Mike Fontenot - Err, where's Mark Derosa when you need him? Oh right, Cleveland. As for our 2B, he hasn't had a hit since May 9th. He's in the lineup tonight, but with Scales and Freel on the roster, he might start losing AB's.
Neal Cotts and David Patton - Are these guys still on the roster? I guess so, but I feel the winds of change coming.
The Cubs really need to keep hot with the Brewers playing the Astros this week, before heading to Minnesota. The Cubs do end the week in San Diego, so they have a great chance to gain some ground.

Whether your home business involves selling a certain product or promoting services, your marketing plan first must have to create a need before customers can become interested in your business. Today, there are so many websites as well as brick and mortar businesses that offer similar if not the same products and services to your targeted audience. With the insane load of competition out there on the net, you'll need a way to snag the online visitor quickly and create a sense of urgency to buy what it is you're selling.
Marketing your home business, especially online, is more than building a website and promoting it. During times when that may be the bulk of where your customers go to, you must also do any market research to determine the type of customer you want to attract, how to get their attention and then how to covert them from being a visitor to your website to a buyer of your business. Know exactly what type of customer fits the product or service you're selling. This can include demographics ranging anywhere from gender, age, location, income they make, the list goes on. The more targeted you are, the better.
A company without a website can use the internet in their home base marketing plan to educate potential customers about their products or services and why they are different among the rest. A benefit to having this is so when customers actually visit your business they have a sense of personalization. They know more about you and what they are looking for than the average customer off the street. In today's age of the internet, it also gives your home business a degree of credibility; since the common thought it that all credible business has a website. So, if you don't already have one, get one!
Home business marketing will also include different strategies that are required to attract visitors to your website and your business. Some of these strategies are search engine marketing, affiliate marketing and article marketing, which can make the business owner appear as an expert in the field of their business. When people search for info on the internet they are often directed to text-based articles on the subject and if your home based business can provide the info they are looking for, there is a better chance they will count on you to fill their needs. Ta-da! Credibility is established!

For the first time, Erie hosts Pennsylvania's Society of Health-System Pharmacists (PSHP) in their annual assembly.
Thursday marked the second day of PSHP's conference, and pharmacists from across the state came to the Bayfront Convention Center.
Thursday's keynote speaker was John Ferretti, president and CEO of LECOM. Ferretti discussed the impact of the affordable care act on the pharmacy profession.
"In order to have the Affordable care act work, we need greater inter-professional cooperation. So the pharmacist, after the physician, are the most highly trained individuals," Ferretti said. "We need to utilize their service as with other healthcare providers."
"Pharmacists really do a lot in terms of being health care providers. I think that we've gone way beyond just dispensing medications, and that we provide healthcare in models similar to nurses and physicians," said Nishaminy Kaspekar, president of PSHP and the corporate director of the UPenn Health System in Philadelphia.
Some LECOM students, grads, and faculty presented their research at the conference as well.
