We understand how much hard work has gone into your investment in regards to financial input, time, and creativity, so it is essential that you find a patent lawyer you can trust entirely. If you've invented or designed something, you may want to work with a patent lawyer Chicago IL professionals rely on to protect your property. Patent law can be tricky.

The kind of patent lawyer Chicago IL residents deserve can be just a phone call away, so call us today to get your free consultation scheduled.
Design Patent
You may want to seek a design patent if you've created an original design of a product or other item. For example, if you design a computer screen icon or a new digital wallpaper, you may be eligible for a design patent. This process can be complex in nature, so it may be in your best interest to contact a Chicago IL patent lawyer to see what type of patent you may be eligible for.
A patent lawyer Chicago IL has to offer may tell you that there is one important thing about a design patent: it can't be granted for something that is functional. In other words, if you design a new chair, you would be patenting your specific design and not the actual chair. A design patent protects your design for 14 years after issuance. Patent law can be confusing, which is why you may want to work with a patent lawyer in Chicago IL. If you're searching for a patent lawyer in Chicago IL, it may be in your best interest to speak with the attorneys at Sherinian Law, as we hold an extensive amount of experience in the legal industry, especially with handling intellectual property matters. Our years of experience handling a wide variety of intellectual property matters has equipped us to handle even the most complex and complicated legal situations. You can have confidence and trust in us to get your legal needs met and handled with not only satisfaction, but a high caliber of service.
Utility Patent
The utility patent is the most common type of patent applied for. Utility patents cover creations in five different categories:
- Process
- Machine
- Manufacture
- Composition of matter
- Improvement of an existing idea
A Chicago IL patent lawyer will tell you that your invention may actually fall into more than one of the above categories, but only one patent is issued regardless. By acquiring a utility patent, others can't make, use, sell, or import your invention for at least 20 years from the patent application filing date.
Plant Patent
Look to a patent lawyer Chicago IL trusts at Sherinian Law to get your legal needs handled today, and call us to schedule a free consultation to discuss your intellectual property legal needs. Chances are, you aren't applying for a plant patent — but it doesn't hurt to know what this type of patent is all about. Plant patents are the least common type of patents. A plant patent is for a new asexually reproducible plant. You may need this patent if you create hybrids or mutants of an existing plant. The patent would protect your creation to prevent anyone from creating the same plant or making a profit from the plant for a minimum of 20 years from the patent application filing date.
Your patent lawyer Chicago IL respects may be able to give you further advice about a plant patent if this is the type you need. A Chicago patent lawyer should be honest about their current workload and availability, and can tell you if they can spend the proper amount of time addressing your legal needs and getting your patent needs handled, as it can be quite a time-consuming process. No matter the stage of your business – if you're just starting out, or if you're looking to take your business to the next level – we also understand how much time a business takes to run, and handling your intellectual property matters is probably one of the last things you want to be doing or have time to do. This is where our Chicago IL patent lawyers come in. We can handle your intellectual property matters from start to finish, so you can feel secure knowing that you and your business have the highest possible protection that you seek.
If you have invented something, written something, created something, you should consider contacting a Chicago IL patent lawyer from Sherinian Law to find out how to best protect yourself legally from someone else stealing and profiting from your ideas.
Understanding Intellectual Property Terminology
Intellectual property law can be complex, and it is very easy to make a small mistake during the process that can have great consequences. This is why you should consider consulting with a patent lawyer that Chicago IL business owners trust when looking to obtain legal protection for your intellectual property. The following are common legal IP terms and their definitions that can help clear up the process a bit until you have your initial consultation with a Chicago IL patent lawyer at Sherinian Law:
Copyright: If your creation is an original work of art, then a copyright can offer you the legal protection you need. Works of art that can be copyrighted include music, literary works, paintings, and sculptures.
Patent: A patent provides legal protection for inventions, as well as protection for discoveries of designs, machines, processes, or improvements of any of these items.
Trademark: A trademark is a unique symbol that is used to identify a brand, product, or service. Trademarks help identify a product or service from other products or services. Logos, phrases, colors, sounds, unique symbol, or words can all be used as trademarks.
Notice of Allowance: With the help of a Chicago IL patent lawyer, a party can file a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). When the application is approved, the USPTO will send the applicant a Notice of Allowance. This notice lets the applicant know that the invention has met the patent requirements and that they must pay the issue fee within three months of receiving the Notice of Allowance. If the Notice of Allowance is an approval for a trademark, then the applicant must show the USPTO is in use within six months in order for the agency to register the mark.
Office Action: If you receive a rejection, working with a patent lawyer from Chicago IL may be able to help you determine the best way to move forward. The Office Action is a letter from the USPTO to the applicant notifying them that their application for a patent has been rejected. The letter will provide details as to why the agency has rejected the application. The Office Action is also referred to as an Examiner's Action or an Official Letter.
Infringement: When there is an unauthorized marketing, production, sale, or use of any item that has been copyrighted, patented, or trademarked, then this is legally considered an infringement. When someone has illegally used your intellectual property, you may want to turn to a Chicago IL patent lawyer.
Injunction: When an infringement has occurred, the court can order the party who has committed the infringement to cease and desist from this activity immediately. An injunction is issued when the party who owns the copyright, patent, or trademark files a legal claim against the infringing party.
Intellectual Property Attorney: An intellectual property attorney specializes in trademark and patent law. Because of the legal intricacies that are involved in this field of law, it is important to have a Chicago IL patent lawyer who is well versed in the federal patent laws working for you.

By the end of the 19th Century, what with tough competition, recessions and ruinous rate wars, times were not so good on the North Atlantic, when two formidable old rivals told the British Government that they would no longer compete against each other for the coveted mail contract; so it was, that the Admiralty changed the rules and permitted them to share the contract and its valuable subsidy. It reversed their fortunes and, from that point, the names of White Star Line and Cunard flourished in a new era, dominating the biggest prize in the maritime world, the express run to New York[1].
To the British Government, it was proving to be a perfect storm of events, for they could see the German companies, Norddeutscher Lloyd and Hamburg-Amerika, building unstoppable rivals with Government subsidies. More ominously, they had been built with fittings that would enable them to be converted rapidly to armed merchant cruisers in time of war, to put in hazard British merchant shipping. When the new Transatlantic liner Deutschland sailed from Southampton and won the Blue Riband on her maiden voyage to New York, it was very clear that the surviving British-owned company, Cunard, would have to be given some assistance, or Britain's place on the North Atlantic would be lost forever. As a result, they gave Cunard a loan of £2,600,000 to build two new superliners, on condition that the Company would remain under British ownership - and the Lusitania and Mauretania were born. White Star had nothing to fight back with; they could hardly win a British subsidy, being in American hands. It was down to Morgan's dream of dominance with three new sisters, that they would win back pre-eminence for Ismay's Oceanic Steam Navigation Company. One would be the Titanic; the last would be the Britannic, and both had terrible fates awaiting them.
From the start of their careers, the Cunard sisters set up and maintained a crack service of regularity and dependability on the turbulent North Atlantic – turbulent, in fact, in many ways. On the 1st May, 1915, Lusitania sailed from Cunard's Pier 54 in New York, bound for Liverpool with 1,257 Passengers and 702 crew[2], who had ignored a warning published by the German Embassy in Washington a week before:
Travellers intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on the ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.
By 06.00 on the 7th May she had nearly made it home; paradoxically, though, this was one of the most dangerous areas for U-boats. Heavy fog had brought down visibility as she was steaming 120 miles west south west of Fastnet. At full speed no u-boat could hope to catch her, but the fog had slowed her down and forced her to announce her presence with fog signals.
By 14.10 the fog had cleared and she was some 11 miles off the Old Head of Kinsale, making 18 knots which Schwieger could not hope to match in U-20 - the submarine from which he had torpedoed the Oriole – but he did not need to, for she crossed just 700 metres ahead of him, allowing him to fire his last torpedo. He recorded in the Log Book:
Torpedo hits starboard side right behind the bridge. An unusually heavy detonation takes place with a very strong explosive cloud. The explosion of the torpedo must have been followed by a second one... The ship stops immediately and heels over to starboard very quickly, immersing simultaneously at the bow... the name Lusitania becomes visible in golden letters[3].
The crew scrambled to launch the lifeboats but the ship's heavy list made it extremely difficult and only six out of 48 lifeboats were launched successfully. Eighteen minutes after the torpedo struck, the bow struck the seabed while the stern was still above the surface, and finally the ship slid beneath the waves. The Admiralty Reported stated that, of the 1,257 passengers on board, 785 were lost, and 413 crew were lost. Fatefully, among the losses in the passenger list were 128 American citizens, which would eventually result in the United States joining the war, when Imperial Germany was crushed, simply by weight of numbers.
In terms of strict law, at the time of her loss Lusitania was the property of the Cunard Steamship Company Ltd and was entered for war risks insurance with the London and Liverpool War Risks Association, who had duly paid the owners in respect of the total loss of the ship and, as a result, acquired legal title to the ship. But would Germany be answerable for their deliberate actions against the innocent lives of passengers and seamen? To the people of the United States, who were not even belligerents at the time, it was a very serious issue that fell to be determined, and there was no United Nations process in existence at the time; so it fell to be agreed by reference to an Arbitration between the United States and Germany in 1923[4].
In fact, Germany had always realised that their position in the matter was impossible and, as early as the 4th February 1916, Germany formally admitted liability for losses sustained by American nationals as a consequence of the sinking of the liner. The general rule at the time was reflected in a Treaty – ironically ratified in Berlin – which gave a full indemnity in terms of a financial loss arising out of such action, in other words, they would have to compensate the dependent relatives for the financial loss caused by the victims' deaths, while adding an additional sum for the surviving relatives' mental suffering. The Germans argued that the survivors had already been compensated by insurance payments but this was rejected completely.
Emotions were running, high, of course, and there was a forceful voice in the United States calling for more punitive damages reflecting the German conduct, but the Tribunal ruled on the Treaty:
The Treaty is one between two sovereign nations—a Treaty of Peace. There is no place in it for any vindictive or punitive provisions. Germany must make compensation and reparation for all losses falling within its terms sustained by American nationals. That compensation must be full, adequate, and complete. To this extent Germany will be held accountable. But this Commission is without power to impose penalties for the use and benefit of private claimants when the Government of the United States has exacted none.
There the matter rested, for some forty years, as the wreck lay slowly decaying on the sea bed. Then, in 1967, Liverpool and London sold to John F. Light
the rights and interest in the wreck of the LUSITANIA on the understanding that it would not be salved as a whole, repaired and put into commission again, and also that the purchaser takes over all liabilities and expenses which might attach to the wreck.[5]
Subsequently the rights were bought by a certain Gregg Bemis, a very adventurous sort of salvor, who started a salvage operation on the wreck in 1982 and, two months after the initial survey, started raising artefacts, using a remotely controlled submarine. Having recovered the ship's bell, they went on to salve some 94 other items, some of which were part of the wreck whose rights Bemis had acquired, originally from the insurers. But the question, this time, was who was entitled to the contents; Bemis argued it should be him, but the Crown argued it should be them. The Crown was laying claim to the contents on the basis of S523 Merchant Shipping Act 1894, which provided that
Her Majesty and Her Royal successors are entitled to all unclaimed wreck found in any part of Her Majesty's dominions…
Bemis argued that Lusitania and her contents did not come within the definition of a wreck and they were not derelict and, therefore, the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894 did not apply[6]. The Admiralty Judge, Sheen J, held a ship was derelict in the legal sense
if the master and crew had abandoned her at sea without any intention of returning to her without hope on their part of recovering her; there could be no doubt that when the master, crew and passengers abandoned Lusitania they did so in order to save their own lives and without any hope or intention of returning to her; the owners abandoned their ship and by necessary inference from the agreed facts and from the lapse of 67 years before any attempt was made to salve the contents, the owners of the contents abandoned their property; and once a vessel became derelict there was no good reason why she should cease to be derelict merely because she was not afloat but lying on the bed of the sea.
The Court concluded that the contents were just as much a part of the wreck as the hull and machinery. It was good news for Bemis; but it has not done him a lot of good, because the wreck lies in the Sovereign Jurisdiction of the Republic of Ireland, where her preservation has been made the subject of close protection – even from the wreck's alleged owner – by reason of a government Heritage Order, which is intended to protect the wreck from unauthorized diving and interference and prohibits any body from diving on, damaging or in some way interfering with three wreck, unless they have a licence from the government minister responsible. So far, Bemis has considered the conditions imposed by the Irish Government to be impossible to accept. The Lusitania lies there still.

Experts predict the Internet will become 'like electricity' – less visible,
yet more deeply embedded in people's lives, for good and ill
Daren C. Brabham, assistant professor at the Annenberg School for Communication &
Journalism, University of Southern California, wrote, "The most significant impacts of the Internet on people's lives by 2025 will involve augmented reality applications. Augmented reality tools such as AR mobile browsers (like Layar) or wearables (like Google Glass) will become affordable and widespread, and we will grow accustomed to seeing the world through multiple data layers. This will change a lot of social practices, such as dating, job interviewing and professional networking, and gaming, as well as policing and espionage."

Obama world leader fail!
So Josh Earnest admitted today that the White House blew it when it failed to send a high level administration representative to France for the Sunday Unity Rally in Paris. The gathering included some 50 world leaders- but none from the United States. Smooth move on something the French are calling their 9-11.
Yeah the Obama administration had another monumental fail on the world stage and make no mistake everybody was watching.
Obama is the weakest President of my lifetime. Unless of course it is by design.

Supplementary Material for: Perioperative Strokes Following Surgical Correction of Mitral Valves: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Udesh R. Natarajan P. Jeevanantham V. Gleason T.G. Badhwar V. Thirumala P.D. 10.6084/m9.figshare.5139874.v1 https://karger.figshare.com/articles/Supplementary_Material_for_Perioperative_Strokes_Following_Surgical_Correction_of_Mitral_Valves_A_Systematic_Review_and_Meta-Analysis/5139874
Objective: The primary aim of this meta-analysis was to quantify the impact of perioperative strokes on stroke-related mortality after open mitral valve (MV) procedures were performed. Methods: An electronic search of the PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science databases was performed to retrieve articles published up to December 2015, relevant to patients undergoing MV procedures. Data were extracted from the final list of 25 studies to calculate a summary OR for 30-day stroke-related mortality. Results: The stroke rate in the total sample population was 1.62% (73/4,498). The 30-day all-cause mortality rate was 3.51% (158/4,498). The percentage of total deaths caused by stroke was 6.87%. The summary OR of stroke-related mortality following MV procedures was estimated to be 7.22 (95% CI 4.13-12.63, p < 0.0001). A subgroup analysis was done for studies involving concomitant MV surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting. The summary estimate of the subgroup showed an OR of 8.508 (95% CI 1.552-46.622, p = 0.0136). Conclusion: Perioperative strokes following open MV procedures may be associated with more than 7 times greater odds of 30-day stroke-related mortality. They appear to be more commonly occurring than what is reported by current literature, making further studies investigating possible mechanisms and preventive measures a priority.

Recently former "Produce 101 Season 2" contestant and RAINZ member Hong Eun Ki participated in a "self-interview" for the web variety show "Me and Me" on the V Live channel Mohae.
Hong Eun Ki, who only recently got his own page on the portal site Naver, shared personal profile details such as his talents, his height, and his favorite things.
He also shared his feelings about RAINZ's recent busking event. "I was so, so nervous. I was so nervous that it felt awkward, but I was so grateful to the fans in front of us that I cried a little. Even thinking about it now, I think I'm going to tear up."
Hong Eun Ki is currently in preparations for the debut of RAINZ, a project group consisting of "Produce 101 Season 2" contestants Hong Eun Ki, Kim Sung Ri, Byun Hyun Min, Seo Sung Hyuk, Lee Ki Won, Jang Dae Hyun, and Joo Won Tak.

He mentioned that he has been a trainee for 6 years and 9 months. "It was hard and lonely," he said, "but those years have been a meaningful and precious time for me. This debut is therefore very special to me."
RAINZ is scheduled to debut on October 12.

Devin Kelley and the Air Force: Other views
The Department of Defense declined to provide an opposing view to this debate on background checks.
Ann Stefanek, Air Force statement: "Initial information indicates that Devin Kelley's domestic violence offense was not entered into the National Criminal Information Center database. ... The Service will also conduct a comprehensive review of Air Force databases to ensure records in other cases have been reported correctly. The Air Force has also requested that the Department of Defense inspector general review records and procedures across the Department of Defense."
OUR VIEW: Texas church massacre and the Clinton, Obama administrations
Heather Wilhelm,National Review: "In the case of the deaths of 26 people at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, the government — the same sprawling, bureaucratic behemoth that die-hard gun control advocates insist we trust with every element of our personal safety — screwed up big time. ... Here's the unfortunate thing about our national gun debate: Amid all the shouting, there are some actual commonsense reforms that could fly on both sides of the aisle. After the recent tragedy in Las Vegas, members of both parties came out in support of a ban on 'bump stocks.' The Texas shooting, meanwhile, has exposed dangerous flaws in our national background check system that should immediately be addressed."
Los Angeles Times, editorial: "Even if Kelley had flunked his background check, he still could have bought guns through an unregulated private sale — at a gun show, say, in Texas or 31 other states that take a hands-off approach to such events. Congress should fix that problem by making background checks mandatory for all gun sales, not just those handled through licensed dealers. But even then, assault weapons like the one Kelley used will remain for sale in this country, and that's the fundamental problem. Civilians have no legitimate reason to own military-style firearms."

More pricing and competition concerns with chip stock Marvell (MRVL), but FBR says the weakness is just creating that good old buying opportunity:
Swipe to close
Recent checks suggest Marvell's CY2Q business is tracking with expectations as PC and networking shipments remain reasonably robust. Separately, top customer Western Digital (WDC – not rated) reported results that could pressure MRVL shares. Drive units are seasonally growing, a positive, but price pressure for disk drives is intense, possibly weighing on chip pricing a bit later.
Freescale stealing MRVL's Research In Motion (RIMM) mojo? Not a problem:
Freescale seems to have won an EDGE 2.75G baseband socket in an upcoming RIMM Blackberry. Not to minimize Freescale's successful efforts, we still think there is plenty of room for Marvell to feed at the Blackberry trough this year. We believe Marvell's unit shipments to RIMM could grow by 60%-80% this year. Marvell's chip is a higher-end, full-featured SmartPhone solution. Thus, it makes sense that RIMM may want to use a lower-cost chip solution for this lower-end EDGE device.
FBR reiterates OUTPERFORM on Marvell (MRVL), target $23.

Diving gave me an opportunity to look into a different world.
The big variety of species spinnng around and a sing language underwater saves you from long talks.
My diving started when I was seeking to get PADI OWD certification with a dream to swim with dolphins in Red Sea in 2010. Bad luck as people say, but I had to wait 5 years more to finally see them. This time we saw them 5 days out of 7. It was more than luck, our crew felt really happy.

UNKNOWN Should Be Known: Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
Jaume Collet-Serra's new movie Unknown, freshly released in theaters yesterday (February 18, 2011), definitely deserves to be known to viewers, internationally. This movie, based on a French novel by Didier van Cauwerlaert, with screenplays in English by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell, has incredibly compelling characterizations and puts the "thriller" back in the rather formulaic genre of spy thriller.
Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) arrives in Berlin for an important Biotech conference where his German colleague is about to release a new type of corn that adapts to any climate. This important discovery will help alleviate world hunger. After the couple reaches the hotel, Dr. Harris realizes that he forgot a briefcase with valuable secret information. On impulse, he takes a taxi back to the airport to retrieve it. On the way, he has an unexpected accident that lands the taxi into a river. Gina (Diane Kruger), an Albanian immigrant who is his taxi driver, saves his life and disappears before the police shows up.
After he recovers from a brief coma, Dr. Harris goes back to his posh hotel, only to discover that his wife, Elizabeth (January Jones), is at a reception with another man who claims to be the real Dr. Harris. To his shock, Elizabeth denies knowing him. The rest of the plot, filled with twists and suspense–but above all with strong character development–follows Dr. Harris's efforts to reconnect with his wife, reclaim his stolen identity and elude the hitmen who are out to get not just him, but also anyone who seeks to protect him.
Liam Neeson plays his role compellingly, as a human being one can relate to not just another action hero. Diane Kruger, cast in the role of the Albanian taxi driver, is just as rich and multidimensional in her acting. She's probably the most sympathetic character in the movie, as she reveals real courage and integrity in her efforts to protect Harris. An equally compelling character is a former Stasi agent, played by Bruno Ganz, who helps Harris figure out the machinations of his adversaries and their real identities.
The excellent acting, as well as elements of the plot, call to mind the unforgettable German movie, The Lives of Others (2006), directed by Florian Henchel von Donnersmarck. To top off the excellent acting and sustained dramatic tension, Unknown has a plot twist at the end, that is as surprising as it is believable. From beginning to end this movie, which is amazingly well directed and acted, will leave viewers at the edge of their seats. This is a five star movie, all around.

It's Worth Traveling to See The Tourist
Depending upon where you live, you may be stuck in the season's first snow storm. But it's worth tracking through the snow to see the new thriller, The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. The spectacular scenes of Venice, complete with opulent parties, palatial hotels and simmering erotic tension between Depp and Jolie, may be sufficient to make this movie worth seeing. Frank (Johnny Depp) is an American tourist on vacation in Venice. He's trying to mend his broken heart after having been left by his girlfriend. Jolie plays the role of Elise, a gorgeous, mysterious femme fatale (with a classic sense of fashion). Elise uses Frank, the slightly awkward math teacher from Wisconsin, to mislead those following her former lover, Alexander, who is wanted both by an evil gangster (for stealing two billion dollars from him) and by British intelligence.
No doubt, this is a standard spy thriller. But The Tourist had a few surprises up its sleeve: and I'm not talking just about the plot twist at the end, which I won't reveal. The first pleasant surprise is that they used real French and Italian actors, filmed on scene, not American actors with bad foreign accents. This may have something to do with the fact that the movie, directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, is a remake of a 2005 French film, directed by Anthony Zimmer.
Second, Johnny Depp's acting was impressively nuanced and believable. Jolie, though spectacularly beautiful, sticks to her persona of the mysterious and alluring femme fatale. But Depp's acting reveals vulnerability, awkwardness, fascination, coyness, lust, fear, courage and, ultimately, love. His character expresses a whole range of emotions that aren't overplayed and that are rendered all the more appealing by the comic relief he adds to what might otherwise have been a standard genre movie with very hot actors.

The Talk of "The Town": Ben Affleck's New Movie
Generally speaking, I prefer artsy foreign films popular at the Cannes Film Festival and consider Ben Affleck's usual genre–"romantic comedy" –a contradiction in terms. But I'll have to make an exception and jump on the bandwagon of praise for Affleck's latest movie, "The Town." It's a crime story meets romance, about a gang of bank robbers in Charlestown, the predominantly Irish neighborhood of Boston. What makes this movie stand out is the fact that the acting is never overdone–if anything, it's understated–and all the main characters (the gangster hero, the straight-and-narrow woman he falls in love with, the other thieves, even the wiseass but clever FBI agent) seem perfect for their roles. Affleck plays the lead character, Doug Mac Ray, an Irish Mafioso type gone bad by nurture (or lack thereof) rather than nature. Perhaps if Doug had been a born sociopath, it would have been difficult to swallow the character transformation upon which hinges the entire plot of the movie, particularly the romantic story line. But everything about this movie seems compelling, due to the quality of the acting and the apparently well-researched narrative. If you aren't one of the millions of people who has made this movie a box office hit already, "The Town" is definitely worth seeing.

We have two September babies, and that means they both turned 6 months old right around Easter time. In our home, we practice Baby Led Weaning. Since babies usually already have most of what they need and plenty of toys at this point, it's a great time to stock up on things you can use for starting solids!
I was gifted a selection of items from Bbox for Kids for this post, but my opinions are my own! I only recommend the products I love, and we love this brand! We use many of the same products for my 3 year old already! Bbox has a huge variety and the cutest prints!
I am all about self feeding. If you have been following my blog for a while, you probably already know this. I don't love spoon feeding my kids, and I love watching them gain independence by feeding themselves! Not to mention the motor skills they can practice at the same time!
Some of the items Finley will be getting in her basket are pictured above!
I'm really excited about the bunny bib that comes with a spoon. The bib folds up and zips into the little pouch below. So not only does that bit help catch food, it's a great storage pouch so that you can take this bib on the go and not have to worry about getting food bits in your diaper bag.
She is also getting a smock bib for those extra messy meals! These bibs have specific parts that go down over baby's legs for extra coverage.
We will be working with Finley to use a cup with no lid, but she will also learn to use a straw sippy cup. For that, I've always really loved weighted straw cups. They are neat because no matter how baby holds it, they can get something to drink.
Naturally I had to get the neoprene sleeve for her cup that matches her bib(s) and cutlery! It will be great this summer for keeping her drinks cool in the extreme SC heat.
Leopold's FAVORITE bowl is his Bbox straw bowl that has handles. He loves being able to drink every last bit of milk when he gets cereal. I knew he wouldn't be too keen on sharing his, so I found a smaller version just for baby Finley! And guess what…it matches the rest of her stuff!
I did get one thing that doesn't match, and that's the snack box. They can share this, as it has two compartments and a spoon that attaches to the top. This will be perfect for two different snacks, or even a snack and a dip.
Along with her Bbox goodies, Finley's basket will have a couple of toys and some food, like Mum mums, which are a fun snack that's easy for baby to munch on.
I have her Bunnies by the Bay lovey/paci holder and her mini Lucy Cuddle & Kind doll pictured here, as well as floral shoes from Pediped. With each Cuddle and Kind purchase, they provide at least 10 meals for children in need! You're not only getting a super great quality hand made stuffed toy, you're helping someone else out.
Finley's Easter basket was a $12 one I found at Big Lots! The charm I attached with the bunny and an "F" was $3 at Target in the Easter section.
Here are some more ideas for little babies' Easter baskets if you're still on the hunt for inspiration! Feel free to look through my Amazon storefront as well! I have saved my favorite products for all ages all in one place.
- Swimwear from Swimzip– These suits are awesome because they are 50 UPF and protect sensitive baby skin from the sun. Then they zip right off so you aren't struggling to pull a wet/sandy suit over your baby's head! Swimzip also has cute hats and sunglasses to accessorize with!
- Slumberkins– These loveys and healthy attachment tools have long been a favorite of mine! I don't know if I love them for my kids or myself more!
- Teething toys- My son didn't ever care for teething toys but my little girl can't get enough! We love the Silispoon from GoSili products, the chew cube and munch mitt from Malarkey Kids, the classic banana toothbrush, Mam's bumblebee teether and their cooler teether, and her cutie pat from Ryan and Rose. It's technically a pacifier but she only uses it to chew on at this point.
- Some new toys- Tinylove has some seriously cute toys that clip onto the carseat, stroller or crib! We also love B Toys, Sassy, and Lamaze toys. If your baby doesn't have a tummy time mirror yet, that is a good idea as well! My girl still loves hers!
Remember: While a first Easter is definitely something to celebrate and enjoy, it's not about the material things! Your baby won't remember this day, or what they got. It's a fun excuse to go out and buy things you already need and present them in a pretty way, though! Don't forget to celebrate the real reason behind Easter! He is Risen!

"As more baby boomers age, deaths from Alzheimer's disease have jumped 55 percent, and in a quarter of those cases the heavy burden of caregiving has fallen on loved ones, U.S. health officials report. "Alzheimer's disease is a public health problem that affects not only people with Alzheimer's disease, but also the people who provide care to them, which is often family members," said report author Christopher Taylor."

A woman in Chalk River, Ontario has dedicated her life to saving abused birds, some of which arrive at her door addicted to drugs.
Diane Dwyer has more than 60 birds that have been abandoned or seized by police and she keeps them in her home where she runs 2nd Chance Aviary Parrot Sanctuary.
The self-proclaimed "crazy bird lady" said the police first discovered her sanctuary when an 82-year-old parrot named "Bill" called 911.
"Bill picked up the phone and hit 911 and [the emergency operator] said 'what's the emergency?'… I said 'none, we're just heading out to work.'"
The phone operator asked Dwyer if there were any children in the house and hours later police showed up at her doorstep.
Dwyer said she told police to be prepared and brought them in to meet the parrots.
"The first thing [Bill] says is 'do you want to smoke…

Update Aquatic
The Update Aquatic is the name for a major update that was released for all of the Minecraft editions during 2018, except for the New Nintendo 3DS Edition. The update marks the advent of the trend of major themed content updates being released across all active editions relatively simultaneously, rather than across differently-titled, unrelated-sounding updates per edition.
On the Bedrock Edition, the Update Aquatic was split into two updates due to the amount of content, with most of the features being released in Phase One as version 1.4.0 on May 16, 2018,[1] and more features released in Phase Two as version 1.5.0 on July 10, 2018.[2]
The update was released on Java Edition on July 18, 2018 as version Java Edition 1.13.[3][4]
The update was released for Legacy Console Edition on September 11, 2018.[5] Additionally, the Update Aquatic was released for the Education Edition in the 1.4.0 update on June 12, 2018.[6] The update was also released for Minecraft China; it was released on mobile devices on July 6, 2018, and on PC on July 10, 2018.[7]
The official name for the update, the Update Aquatic, was revealed on November 18, 2017, during the MINECON Earth 2017 livestream, at which time the Java Edition Update Aquatic was to be released as 1.14.
Jeb had previously stated in a 2011 interview that he wanted to implement more sea life into the game.[8]
On Java Edition, this update was previously titled Technically Updated, until the features of the Update Aquatic were added later on in the development of 1.13, starting from snapshot 18w07a. The first pre-release on Java Edition, 1.13-pre1, was released on June 4, 2018, the second pre-release was released on June 15, the third on June 21, the fourth on June 26, the fifth on June 28, the sixth on July 4, the seventh on July 10, the eighth on July 13, the ninth on July 16, and the tenth on July 17. This update had 10 pre-releases for Java Edition, the largest number of pre-releases for any update.
On July 10, Mojang released a trailer for the update.[9]

Chapter History
While George Washington was still President in 1791, this lovely land welcomed the Padres of early California to establish the twelfth mission, the Mission of the Holy Cross or Santa Cruz. It is in their honor that we named our chapter when we organized this chapter in 1916. We have been a viable organization in our community offering our services in all patriotic endeavors and memorial services, and giving recognition to outstanding members of our community both past and present. Our Santa Cruz County has been designated as part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the largest in the United States. This ensures us of environmental protection and the maintaining of an area that will be unspoiled and unpolluted.
If you are interested in joining our chapter or attending a chapter meeting, please contact Regent Ann Fay.

As genius as I find South Park, and as indecisive as I can sometimes be, it surprises me that I have a clear-cut favorite episode. This one titled Manbearpig- you can watch the full episode at the link, I recommend it if you have the time. Here's a synopsis if you don't have the time- the South Park kids wind up trapped in a cave with Al Gore. The cave scenes are a bit of an homage to Goonies and Al Gore feels the need to step in be their protector from the biggest threat to planet Earth. The threat comes from Manbearpig- "half man, half bear, and half pig". Being that Al Gore appears to be the only person who has every heard of Manbearpig, he feels pretty darn important in his protecting the world from such a vicious, heinous entity. To know Manbearpig is to be terrified of him, conversely, if you AREN'T afraid of Manbearpig, that's even scarier. Whether you know it or not, Manbearpig is to be feared.
While the episode spoofs Al Gore being the lone protector to us from Global Warming, I find a lot of parallels today coming from the right wing reactionaries. I'm not saying its all Conservatives, or all Republicans, but the right wing certainly has a few fear mongers among them. I found the video below to be pretty similar to Al Gore protecting the South Park kids from Manbearpig.
That's how I roll.

"In January 2013 my son Parker, an 18-year-old High School Senior and Cadet Captain in the Civil Air Patrol (with a Congressional nomination to the Air Force Academy), was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer. While his peers were looking forward to summer vacation and planning for college, Parker's dreams of becoming a pilot were replaced with fears of upcoming surgeries and months of chemotherapy. Thankfully, with the help of amazing doctors at the J Michael Carroll Cancer Center and UCLA Medical Center, Parker is in remission, feeling better and an honor student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
One of my cherished possessions during our years of treatment was my tote bag. It contained everything I needed to keep Parker comfortable and myself organized. In 2014 I came to the Fairbanks Hospital Foundation with an idea – a program to provide tote bags to cancer patients receiving treatment. Today, I am very proud that my simple idea has turned into Hope Totes."
— Marsha, Parker's Mom
Marsha's seed of an idea turned into "Hope Totes", a comfort care bag that is provided to all newly diagnosed cancer patients. Each Tote contains approximately $50 in essentials (lotion, chapstick, North Pole coffee card, Cancer 101 organizer, pen, paper, etc.), funded by generous local business sponsors and through individual contributions to the Circle of Hope campaign.
On September 16th, 2015, the Circle of Hope team will be hosting the first annual Hope Totes Fund-A-Thon with a goal to raise $20,000 – the cost of a year's worth of totes for the over 300 new cancer patients in Fairbanks each year. The Fund-A-Thon will begin at 7:00 am and last through 7:00 pm on MAGIC 101.1 and 102.5 KIAK-FM and conclude with a 30 minute segment on CBS News 13 from 7:30 – 8:00pm. Hope Totes donors will be registered to win a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip to the 2016 Grammy Awards, including airfare, hotel and special ground package.
Help us provide a moment of joy to a cancer patient in treatment. Donate to the Hope Totes program using the secure Pay Pal option below.
