Ignoring a tax liability is never a good idea. If you don't have the money to pay the IRS, consider using a credit card or asking for more time.
This post is by Kelly Phillips Erb of Forbes.com.
The good news for taxpayers? More than half of us didn't owe taxes for the last tax year on record. The bad news for taxpayers? The other half of us did.
We hope that, if you fall in the latter category this year, the amount that you owe isn't too bad. But if it's more than you counted on, don't panic and do something to make it worse. Instead, take a deep breath and consider these options for paying your taxes if you don't have the cash:
Put it on your credit card
I'm generally not a fan of replacing one debt with another. But if your ability to pay is a timing issue -- as opposed to a "I simply don't have it" issue -- you can pay your federal income taxes by credit card. The Internal Revenue Service accepts all major cards (American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa).

If you're one of the millions of Americans who work from home, don't pass up a deduction that could be worth thousands. Here's how to tell if you qualify.
This post comes from Brandon Ballenger at partner site Money Talks News.
Between 15million and 20 million U.S. workers either telecommute or are self-employed, according to the Telework Research Network. But the Internal Revenue Service said only about 3.4 million claimed a home office deduction in tax year 2010.
While it's possible many of those self-employed or telecommuters don't qualify, it's also possible the fear of an audit could be keeping people away. But a home office deduction can be valuable, and those eligible should take it.
Everyone can use a variety of Web-based programs. Some are restricted to people making $57,000 a year or less or those using certain forms.
This post is by Dawn Papandrea of Living on the Cheap.
If you've never taken advantage of the many free tax-filing options out there, you could be missing out. There are several free -- or low cost -- options available that will not only save you a few bucks, but will help simplify the process as well. You may also be eligible for free in-person help with tax preparation.
Here is a look at some tax-filing services that won't break the bank. Note: Some free services aren't available to homeowners who deduct mortgage interest or other taxpayers with itemized deductions.
The IRS offers Free File, a service that allows people earning $57,000 or less to choose from a variety of online tax software options. Those with higher incomes can file free online using the free fillable forms. The Free File Alliance, as it's called, is a partnership between the IRS and 15 independent software providers. Since 2003, more than 36 million people have taken advantage of this program. Users choose from among the participating software offerings, file their returns electronically, and receive their refunds via direct deposit.
This year's W-2s for some employees show the value of health benefits provided by employers. Is one of the biggest tax breaks out there on the chopping block?
This post is by Laura Saunders of The Wall Street Journal.
When you examine your W-2 for 2012, pay attention to a surprising new number on the form, especially if you are an upper-income-bracket taxpayer. The figure could threaten one of your most valuable tax breaks.
The W-2 is the annual tax form with wage and salary data that employers provide to workers and the Internal Revenue Service. Companies were required to send W-2s by the end of January.
The new number appears in Box 12 after the symbol "DD." It shows the cost of your employer-sponsored health plan, if you have one. The number includes the combined amount paid by the company and the employee for coverage, but not worker contributions to flexible spending accounts or health-savings accounts — nor additional co-payments or reimbursements.
Most people use their tax refunds for bills or necessities. If you can afford to save your refund, you'll be further ahead. Here are 6 savings tactics.
This post is by Ashlea Ebeling of Forbes.com.
Last year, the average federal tax refund was $2,700. What are you planning to do with yours? "The perception is that people get a refund and buy a high-definition TV, but the reality is that people are using refunds to pay down debt, buy necessities, or save," says Bob Meighan, the lead CPA with Intuit TurboTax's American Tax And Financial Center.
Only 16% of the customers TurboTax surveyed last year said they used their refunds to splurge on vacations or shopping, while 42% used the money to pay down debt or pay bills. Another 17% used refunds to save, including funding an individual retirement account.
Parents and guardians can get a $1,000 tax credit per child if they meet income requirements. Some can even get additional credit.
This post is by Kay Bell of Bankrate.com.
All parents hope that their children will be a credit to them. That can literally be the case at tax time.
The popular $1,000-per-child tax credit was made a permanent part of the U.S. Tax Code, thanks to the American Taxpayer Relief Act, also known as the "fiscal cliff" tax bill, that was enacted Jan. 2, 2013. That's great news for parents, who find the credit is an easy way to reduce their tax bills dollar-for-dollar.
In addition to the financial benefit, there are no records to keep or extra forms to file to claim the child tax credit. You simply enter the proper amount directly on your 1040 or 1040A form.
Tax pros provide answers to common (and not so common) questions about which tax deductions are allowed, including whether you can deduct your pet. Maybe.
This post is by Rachel Louise Ensign of The Wall Street Journal.
What's a more valuable tax deduction, a deadbeat boyfriend or a vicious guard dog? It depends on how big a deadbeat the boyfriend is.
No, this isn't a bad joke.
It's among the things taxpayers ask each year as they try to squeeze out whatever deductions they can.
And tax experts say they've heard it all.
If you installed new windows or doors or made other qualifying improvements in 2012, you may be eligible for a tax credit. Or, you can make improvements this year.
This post is by Kimberly Lankford of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.
The fiscal cliff legislation, which Congress passed on New Year's Day, revived the tax credit for energy-efficiency improvements for both 2012 and 2013. If you made any eligible improvements in 2012 -- after the credit expired -- dig up the receipts before you file your taxes for the year because you may get a tax break after all. These new rules should also be kept in mind when planning home improvements for 2013.
You can receive up to $500 in total tax credits for eligible home improvements you've made since 2006 (including a $200 limit for windows). If you claimed the full credit for home improvements since then, you won't be able to take the break again.
If you are eligible, the tax break applies to 10% of the purchase price (not installation costs) of certain insulation materials, energy-efficient windows, external doors and skylights, and metal roofs with pigmented coating or asphalt roofs with cooling granules that meet Energy Star requirements (see the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star website for details).

Well as a growing number of sheriffs across this country warned that they may not enforce new gun rules -- they are past.
Former President Bill Clinton is sharing a warning for Democrats about the political dangers of mocking Second Amendment supporters.
And it computers are former president may not exactly be shoulder to shoulder with our current president on this issue.
Joining me now Lars Larson a syndicated radio host the second -- advocate and Sally Kohn who's a political commentator and Fox News -- -- Bill Clinton stands up to a group of democratic donors and others.
And says on Saturday do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your noses of them.
A lot of these people live in a world very different from the world lived in by the people proposing these things I know because -- come from this world.
Our closer with UN is -- you had talked about how.
You know in the in the big cities.
There is a different perception of guns than there is.
In the heartland of America -- many other places in the big cities they're thought to be held an urban centers and you think of guns many people do is something that could be used to hurt you in your family.
An in that sort of heartland of America that that -- something to protect you when your family and something that the family heirloom -- been your family for generations.
Well the only thing I disagree with -- on on that -- -- is that in big cities Smart people understand that if you have a gun you can protect yourself from the criminals and their famous examples from New York for example.
Of the ladies and older lady.
Who owned a pistol illegally and protected yourself -- that when somebody assault a very shot she shot the man.
And then they -- the lady for having the gun while the assault or ran away and as for patronizing.
Bill Clinton tells his fellow Democrats don't patronize let me get this straight the horny hick from Arkansas is warning Democrats that they don't you don't.
And -- I'm at it and and that the dumb hicks don't wanna be relieved of their guns so be careful what you say to them this guys is patronizing is the day is long.
You can agree with what he's not your -- I feel what -- All he's saying is don't don't tell them you're gonna take their guns because they'll take your seat away from you in congress which I think is accurate.
But it's a very patronizing attitude because he says he used to be -- -- from Arkansas and he is no longer because he's so worldly but he now understands all this.
He's right and is warning but he should be count you get -- these terms Americans value of their liberties and they may like -- Clinton and fission and the president says about it only got left in their lives how patronizing is that.
He did say that he -- a lot of these people all it is there hunting and their fishing.
Or they're living in a place he said where they don't have much police presence and that he says or they've been listening this stuff for so long that they believe it all.
Sally doesn't sell like he's really squared up with -- Obama on this because I'll I'll just leave you one other quote.
He said he left these democratic donors with a warning.
That they may be defeated if they choose to stand what Barack Obama said don't be self congratulatory about how -- you're being for this gun control push.
The only brave people are the ones are gonna lose their jobs if they vote with you.
Yeah I mean look the president was obviously speaking off the -- but -- I I I heard his warning very differently.
We know that the kinds of very common sense gun violence prevention.
Laws and regulations that the president's proposing.
-- technology supported by a majority of Americans.
But supported by a majority of gun owners and incidentally it's a majority a strong majority of NRA members as well.
I think President Clinton was simply saying to Democrats and all of us.
Look don't think there's this -- then.
Them guns -- safety dynamic and there isn't responsible gun owners.
One to see safety they want to see background checks and -- whole gun show loopholes closed.
And we shouldn't come to send an assumed that they don't.
You -- that but he may have to go for this let me just respond that negated a chance because he suitable further than that those tell -- he even spoke to the fact that these polls some of them.
Show support for some of these measures and said that his group.
It's not the public support that matters it's how strongly people feel about the issue quell all these polls that you see seeing the public is for us and all these issues.
They're meaningless if they're not voting issues who's really truly motivated to show up and vote.
Based on gun control or our gun rights and he seems to think it is the gun rights people who have the stronger motivation go -- alerts.
-- I gotta tell -- love having Sally on my radio show.
But she's wrong about one thing because she leaves -- the polls that the polls also -- -- Washington Post -- a week ago said that most of those people who say -- for those rules also admit that they're not gonna change that dynamic of these mass shootings and -- Americans who -- responsible with -- whether they don't know we're not understand -- rules on a piece of -- do not keep anybody from murdering innocents in this country and everyone who's -- of the president's proposals -- those -- out of -- Biden -- that meant for -- met for all of a month.
Admit that none of those changes would have done a darn thing about Aurora Colorado or sandy -- elementary or any of the other shootings that have happened and that's what's demeaning to suggest to Americans we're gonna take away your liberties we're gonna further infringe on your ability to own a gun -- type of -- a particular type of gun.
And we know that is not going to change the murders of Americans that happen.
I think -- -- -- strike that struck us I was interesting about don't patronize your opposition because they seem to have you know.
Heartfelt beliefs on this issue.
President Obama's been criticized for not getting that when we went to break we played sound -- of him saying all the only reason you're seeing these long lines at for the gun stores right -- because.
People are try to gin up.
Their own ratings are their own profits.
I mean.
President Clinton.
I presume is that try to do that he.
There are people who really genuinely believe that this is an infringement on their constitutional rights and he -- and does the left risk alienate that not just the -- -- gun control people.
By -- -- acknowledging that that's a real heartfelt belief.
I mean look I I come from -- country right we got the first day of hunting season off when I was a kid so I very much where -- stand.
That so I very much understand the culture that president up -- President Clinton excuse me was.
Are particularly -- in tactically speaking about.
Look at pretty condescending.
To challenge large back just in just the American people that the ideals that they support the common sense.
Gun safety laws that they support.
Aren't going to work.
I mean we already have laws in place that fortunately do you make some of these things not as bad as they could be we do restrict the ability of dangerous people may get dangerous weapons.
But I'm -- if you're on terrorist watch list.
You shouldn't you can't go to a plane but -- ten -- a gun that doesn't make sense in American people agree.
At at I don't see that as an infringement on liberties and and frankly neither did Antonin Scalia who said.
That we can -- -- -- I was just legally there's no question that that the second in the second that is not absolute and you can absolutely no it's not right -- this is the political debate about whether we should.
And weather will do anything I got to leave it that my apologies got to run thank you both good discussion thank you pleasure -- -- thank.

The No. 1 trick to roasting chicken: Heat. For perfectly golden skin, turn on the convection setting on the oven, if you have one, or fully heat the oven to 400 degrees. For moistness, let the chicken swim first in a briny solution of water, sugar and salt for a few hours before roasting.
Then, for a wonderful aroma and subtle flavor, tuck some paper-thin slices of fresh lemon between the skin and flesh and add a handful of cilantro to the cavity.
Since the chicken takes a long time in the oven, I figure I have time to roast vegetables too. I like to add a mixture directly to the roasting pan with the bird. This way the veggies benefit from the luscious pan juices; just be sure to stir them several times while they cook.
Fresh leeks and aromatic fresh fennel best my standard potato and carrot melange. The sweet leeks and crunchy fennel will caramelize and intensify in flavor with the long roasting time.
To accompany the rich roasted chicken and vegetables, I offer plain broccoli florets, gently blanched or steamed to bright green. Pass sliced whole-grain baguette to mop up every bit of the lemony chicken flavor.
As long as the oven is going, bake a batch of chocolate cherry peanut butter oatmeal cookies. These have it all going on: oats, nuts, dried fruit and chocolate.
Lemony roast chicken with caramelized fennel
Prep: 30 minutes
Brine: Several hours
Cook: 1 1/2 hours
Servings: 6
¼ cup each: salt, sugar
1 whole roasting chicken, about 5 pounds, giblets and neck removed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large leeks with most of the green, split lengthwise, well rinsed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large or 3 small fennel bulbs, fronds reserved, bulbs chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small thin-skinned lemons, very thinly sliced, seeded
1 handful fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon each: salt, dried oregano
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1. Dissolve 1/4 cup each salt and sugar in 2 quarts of warm water in a large bowl or pot. Add the chicken and additional cool water if necessary to completely submerge the chicken. Refrigerate covered at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Drain; rinse chicken; pat dry.
2. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Pour 3 tablespoons oil into a large roasting pan. Add leeks and fennel; mix well to coat with the oil.
3. Use your hands to gently loosen the skin away from the flesh of the chicken. Slip the lemon slices under the skin on the back and front of the chicken. Tuck the cilantro into the chicken cavity. Sprinkle the salt, oregano and pepper on all sides of the chicken. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the pan.
4. Roast the chicken, stirring the vegetables around in the pan juices every 20 minutes or so, until the chicken is golden and the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh should register about 165 degrees.
5. Gently transfer the chicken to a cutting board; tent with foil. Let rest, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, skim and discard most of the fat from pan juices. Transfer pan juices and vegetables to a serving bowl; season with salt, if needed.
6. Carve the chicken into serving portions. Serve each with a generous spoonful of the vegetables.

Chocolate cherry peanut butter oatmeal cookies
Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 12 minutes
Makes: about 90 cookies
Note: These cookies are made without flour. For the best crunch, be sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats, not the finer-textured quick-cooking varieties. I like natural peanut butter for its deep peanut flavor. Store the cookies in a covered container up to several days or freeze up to 2 months.
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup each: granulated sugar, packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup extra-crunchy natural peanut butter, at room temperature
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup salted, toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas), roasted hulled sunflower seeds or roasted peanuts
½ cup dried cherries (chopped if large), dried currants or small dark raisins
8 ounces milk or semisweet chocolate bars, roughly broken into 1/4-inch pieces
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together butter and sugars in large bowl of electric mixer. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth and creamy. Beat in baking soda and vanilla. Beat in peanut butter until incorporated. Use a wooden spoon to stir in oats, pumpkin seeds, cherries and chocolate pieces.
2. Use a teaspoon to make balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a spoon. Bake until set and bottoms are slightly golden, about 12 minutes.
3. Cool cookies on pan, 5 minutes. Transfer with a metal spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. (You can reuse the paper-lined baking sheets to bake the remaining cookies.)

Lastest Musing
So how should we respond? Most obviously, we should stop making things worse. Tax penalties, tax credits, and import tariffs can nudge consumers, producers, and exporters towards reducing emissions without wasting more years on fruitless international negotiations or creating cumbersome ... Featured Book

Short Take
That didn't take long. Recall that just a few weeks ago climate change deniers were crowing about the "missing" global warming because the latest draft IPCC report on the state of the climate noted that in the years since 1997 the rate of warming seemed to have dropped. Part of the answer -- ignored by the denier crowd -- was that trends had been distored by the super El Nino of 1998. Now it seems that even with that skew there was no pause in warming. From the climate modelers' go-to site, realclimate.org, comes news of a study of global temperatures that argues that between 1997 and 2012 the world warmed at twice the rate reported in the latest draft IPCC report. According to Stefan Rahmstorf at RealClimate, the findings weren't used by the IPCC because the researchers, Kevin Cowtan and Robert Way, responsibly waited until their report was published by the Royal Meteorological Society before going public. Basically, the scientists found that there were big gaps in temperature data from the Arctic (which has undergone extraordinary warming) because of the paucity of weather stations, and they figured out how to fill in those gaps using satellite data. Once adjusted, the global trend rose from 0.05 degrees C per decade to 0.12 degrees C per decade, which is in line with previous warming. Presto! No more pause. No doubt the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal and the hundreds of other media outlets that made a big deal out of the "missing" global warming will now issue retractions and updates. |

Marijuana now legal in two states.
Colorado and Washington.
And at the club of math it did not pass in Oregon and nor again and a in November so this is -- trend and when there is a trend do you have on to -- -- is.
Really going after it which brings me to my next on -- Bernard.
-- side blinked but a former Microsoft executive announced for the past five weeks even -- and on something else tell us about it.
Thank you -- great to be here.
So we have created the first -- premium retail.
Marijuana company we're gonna be opening premium retail marijuana stores.
In Washington in Colorado and other states as it becomes legal.
When it becomes sufficiently legal because.
Heard the federal government lies it's still not legal.
Her state laws it is now this both states are still in the process of working out the rules and regulations so it's gonna be at least a year before were able to open.
-- -- Let's dissect what you just said Casey said a lot -- sad statement premium retail legal marijuana correct.
OK so let's talk about the -- tell -- -- you -- There aren't any legal retail sort.
Well there are.
Marijuana dispensaries but that's for medical marijuana that's an entirely different segment for patients who need it for medical purposes for what just got passed in Washington in Colorado.
Legalize is what's called recreational marijuana -- -- And you're going to be premium select a -- -- -- Exactly cigar yeah I think like a fine brandy fine -- think like that -- about cigar shop but of marijuana and -- -- Well the way we did as we get premium retail locations.
We have a bunch of rules and regulations that we're gonna need to conform -- a lot of quality standards and the states of Washington and Colorado are still working all that out.
So it seems like a headache.
It is it's it's a lot of work but the thing here's the thing.
Currently in people's minds marijuana is positioned.
-- you know across -- -- -- America as though it's a bad thing it's a drug which really fascinating -- and of course I grew up in in the Arab Ronald Reagan Nancy Reagan's just say no to drugs you know this is your brain on drugs inside I never touched the stuff.
Those 42 years old and a colleague at Microsoft a brilliant programmer told me he uses it frequently and I said well isn't it bad for -- if you're afraid you're gonna hurt your brain.
And he said no I did all the research and I'm convinced that within five years it will be regarded as a health that it.
And that completely blew my mind -- and what -- talking about.
Heidi civil look at the research you should be the recently did the research myself found out it is completely non toxic.
Any at any quantity any concentration you're not gonna kill a single cell in your brain or any other part of your body.
And it's not physically -- compare that to alcohol -- nicotine.
Other people would disagree but your perspective is definitely while -- and you are definite -- trying to.
Thank on this.
-- on this possible legalization across the United States you seem pretty confident about that oh absolutely how -- were talking about.
Well -- this -- solicited this -- the current market for illegal marijuana.
Is over 100 billion dollars per year 100 billion up over a hundred feel any -- just in the US hurt illegal marijuana.
Once it's fully legalize across the entire country and it's just a matter of time until it is it'll be well over 200 billion dollars a year.
So this is the very beginning stages of what I referred Q.
As the dot bond air which TJ -- yes.
Tell me more about -- dot -- there.
Well I need to set -- consider 200 billion dollar market and it's a 200 billion dollar market in which we are the first brand.
To go public.
And publicly state -- -- intentions -- going to be opening dozens of premium retail shops across the country.
And we're the only ones out there and announcing that we're gonna do this it's a 200 billion dollar vacuum.
With high profit margins and we're the only company out there.
So it for us it's just in its next an amazing opportunity.
As we're getting all this press coverage there's two companies talking with us that want to.
Creative reality television program about our company and so it's just been an absolute -- do you expect competition however in there.
Me are now -- so I expect competition.
Not in our particular -- because we're gonna dominate the premium marijuana category so think.
If we don't yell my name get -- wouldn't it be taken and premium before okay -- sorry that's okay.
Like I can talk more about that but -- but.
-- so whereas in alcohol you've got you know everything from the very fine line -- all the way down to malt liquor.
We're at the fine line end of the spectrum but for marijuana we expect a lot of competition in what's called the value segments.
A -- of the of the industry but we expected to be head and shoulders above everyone else for premium and and and premium -- just mentioned a couple things about that since you raised it.
What is premium marijuana well depends a number of factors the varieties first of all.
Cultivation techniques -- -- these artisan growers who are extremely passionate about their craft and claim produce amazing product.
Testing quality control.
For ending the Diego -- their brand packaging and then there's the retail experience from the moment the customer walks into the store they're gonna be honored and cared for.
Get all their questions answered they're gonna be educated on safety our target market is baby boomers.
Most of whom most of -- have never tried to product because their lot biding citizens suddenly of credit 3040 years ago maybe they didn't inhale.
Right and now it's safe to -- Tell me about your company actually because.
Clinton Stanley you have your roots in hand business dating olive battle over -- -- absolutely to my great grandfather.
Was Diego -- he was a Spaniard thorn in Spain.
And he -- he went to the Philippines at that time in the mid eighteen hundreds many young men in Spain went off to the far reaches of the globe wherever the Spanish empire reign supreme.
Now the -- the biggest and most important Spanish colony in Asia was the Philippines he became the vice governor of the island of Cebu in the Philippines and over time became the largest grower of -- In the world so I literally have marijuana in my life.
You never knew would come in handy did yeah I did not know.
-- -- just and and quickly taxes yet on all of that so yeah how much are we talking and state taxes even possible federal tell goodness.
In the state of Washington alone which is a lot of the smaller states of the country.
We're looking at two billion dollars over five years in tax revenues that goes straight to the State's coffers for California be well over ten billion over the same period of time -- -- hugely becoming too but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
We're currently in the United States currently over 800000 people.
Are being arrested every year for possession of a nontoxic.
Non addictive naturally occurring plant there's 80000 people behind bars lives are being destroyed.
For no no logical reason whatsoever it's a lot safer than alcohol.
And so that the government's you know gonna save money at all levels that people are gonna be free and it's gonna create over a 100000 jobs I mean it's win win -- all the way around.
While I hope so pretty and came inside Elaine thank you for coming nine.
Website -- -- on the screen very passionate about your case and we appreciate that here.
-- -- great to be here nice to see a Merry Christmas thank you Mary and I think going to break right now --

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
Very happy with this pillow, I almost bought the more expensive cooler version, but decided instead to try this one, so glad I got it. I'm sleeping so much better with just one pillow versus having to readjust 5 pillows throughout the night.
User Review for Today's Mom® COOLMAX Pregnancy Pillow
I haven't slept as well as I have with this pillow in a long time!!
User Review for Oggi® Elevation: The Complete Body Positioning Pillow System
I am only in my 4th month of pregnancy, and was already having a hard time sleeping. I have also been experiencing some reflux that would make it very hard for me to even want to lay down. This pillows support was so great that I will sometimes bring it into the wood floor in my TV room and lay in it there. It was even more comfortable than my sofa! I got the watermelon- It is a gorgeous color! I am constantly fighting my husband and I are constantly fighting over it- he may get his own for fathers day!

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
This is the best sleep that I've had in my life!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
I am about 18 weeks pregnant and have always been a tummy sleeper. This helps keep me on my side and keeps me comfortable there! The only thing that I don't like so much is the pillow. A couple of morning I woke with a sore neck. It's not as nice as the one I usually use. Overall I give this 5 stars but the pillow part gets a 3 star.
Pregnancy Pillow
Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and BabyAge has the best pillows on the market.
Our Today's Mom Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow is like sleeping on a cloud! BabyAge.com has created the Today's Mom product line by listening to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort. This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. Both are machine washable, made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale. This revolutionary pillow is patent pending.

Potential death of the Pro Bowl indicates the NFL values a fraction of dignity over a small profit
When I was 10 years old, all-star games kicked ass. I watched them all, start to finish. I cared about who won, who lost, who got MVP. I was fascinated by the concept of bringing my favorite players together on one team.
But when I was 10 years old, I was also fascinated by a quartet of anthropomorphic Italian turtles fighting crime on behalf of a freakishly large rat.
At a certain age, most of us realize that all-star games offer nothing. To most adults, the entertainment value of a sporting event deprived of competition is nil. Most of us would probably rather watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on our Sunday afternoons. The issue is that all-star games are better on paper than they are in reality. Putting together two teams containing the league's best players is fun for all ages, but without anything on the line, the actual games are anticlimactic. The best part is finding out who made each squad. It's all downhill from there.
That's why it shouldn't be surprising to hear that the NFL is on the verge of sending the Pro Bowl to its grave, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Sources tell Mort that the league will likely "suspend" the game this season and beyond.
Football is the most popular sport in the United States, but you could argue that its all-star game is the worst among the country's major professional sports. There's less of an injury risk in baseball and basketball, and both of those sports are better equipped to offer quasi-entertaining exhibitions. But without something on the line, and with so many players staying away for practical reasons, the Pro Bowl is less capable of impressing fans in such a format.
Still, the Pro Bowl kills in the ratings. This past year, the game led all sports telecasts over the final weekend of January with an overnight Nielsen rating of 7.9. By comparison, a regular-season Bulls-Heat NBA matchup drew a 4.1 and the final round of the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open landed a 2.0.

The Supreme Court only hears cases that are justiciable; thus, it will not hear a case where the party bringing suit does not have standing (i.e., is not the proper party to bring the matter to the court).
Suitable for courts to hear and decide on the merits. If a case is not justiciable, the court must dismiss it.
The justiciability doctrines limit federal judicial power and include rules that the Supreme Court has crafted to determine (i) whether there is a sufficient "case or controversy" that the court may decide on under Article III of the Constitution; or (ii) whether there are prudential limits which bar courts from exercising judicial review. The doctrines encompass the prohibition against advisory opinions; standing; ripeness; mootness; and the political question doctrine.

"We have repeatedly recognized that what is required for litigation to continue is essentially identical to what is required for litigation to begin: There must be a justiciable case or controversy as required by Article III." J. Ginsburg, Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (TOC), Inc., 528 U.S. 167, 212 (2000).
