From the author of Chicken Cheeks and Purple Kangaroo comes a novel picture book addressing the various reasons why a pig parade would be a terrible idea. I know you're thinking, "why, a pig parade is a mighty fine idea,", but after reading Black's new book, you will see the error of your ways. It has the feel of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, but I have not been able to nail down why, probably simply the whole cause and effect thing.

All the animals at the zoo have family, except for Quack the duck. Quack sits alone in the darkest corner of the zoo growing more and more bitter. One day he passes by the nursery and while lamenting how everyone has someone except him, he runs into a table of orphaned eggs. Quack picks one out and happily runs home saying "I'll adopt!" He tends to the egg and then the day comes for it to hatch and eek... it's not a duck, but a furry, long nailed thing (that ends up being a platypus). Quack runs in horror with the furry creature in hot pursuit. He is finally cornered in a cave, but when the creature looks Quack in the eye and says "Hi Dad", he felt his cold heart melt.
There are simply not enough dad/child stories out there, and this is an adoption story to boot! The full spread illustrations by Brian T. Jones are bright and fun with just a little bit of creepiness and Bardhan-Quallen's rhyming tale never misses a beat. Check it out!

A cat theme is a perfect time introduce or revisit a favorite nursery rhyme, such as:
Hey, Diddle Diddle
The Cat and the Fiddle
The Cow jumped over the Moon
The Little dog laughed to see such a sight
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Three Little Kittens lost their mittens,
and they began to cry,
Oh mother dear, we very much fear,
our mittens we have lost.
What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow
No you shall have no pie.
The three little kittens they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Oh mother dear, see her, see here,
Our mittens we have found.
What found your mittens! You good litle kittens,
Now you shall have some pie.

Another idea: I love the cheap foam visors that you can buy at larger craft stores (Michaels, Jo-Ann's, Hobby Lobby, etc) usually for about $1.00 a piece. If you use a black one, you can easily add eyes and a beak and have a really cute penguin hat!

A disaster preparedness and emergency response program was conducted by the Los Baños Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) last February 25, 2019 at the Vega Center located in Barangay Batong Malake.
In partnership with the Los Baños Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (MDRRM), the LB BFP catered to the members of Victory Christian Fellowship in a whole-day session that included talks about disaster resilience, disaster plan, lifting and moving, emergency transfer, and fire safety.
A field training exercise was also conducted.
According to SFOI Duannee Fadki, the goal of the program is to prepare the residents for various disasters such as earthquakes and fires that may happen in an unexpected time. He added that the choice of topics covered by trainings they administer depends on the environmental hazards present in the locale.
In connection to this, he mentioned the occurrence of a 3.6-magnitude earthquake in Los Baños last month, and he emphasized the importance of preparedness for the so-called “Big One.”
Fadki also discussed why student involvement during disasters is important. He focused on the capacity of students to report incidents using their smartphones.

Downtown Redevelopment Craze Spreads To Allen Center
With over 8M SF of office space on the market downtown, many building owners see now as the time to begin redevelopment. Esperson, 708 & 712 Main, 600 Jefferson and now Allen Center are all part of the revitalization craze sweeping Downtown.
City council member Robert Gallegos sees the slew of office redevelopment as part of the overall strategy to revitalize Houston’s core urban district. The Downtown Living Initiative tax incentive—a program that awards $15k per unit in tax rebates to developers who create homes or multifamily projects—has been very successful at attracting developers Downtown. The fervor isn't just limited to multifamily. A plethora of new hotels and some offices are also in the pipeline. With so many developments going on Downtown there's increasing pressure for older buildings to stay competitive.
To that end, Brookfield executives and city officials gathered for the groundbreaking of a $48.5M redevelopment of the iconic '70s-era Allen Center into a beautiful modern performance space in the heart of Downtown. The vision aims to make the property a destination for more than just work, offering a mix of new amenities catering to active professionals moving Downtown. The signature piece will be the complete reimagining of the exterior landscaped space between One and Two Allen Center. The new design removes the skybridge closest to Smith Street and the berm under it, reconfiguring the space as a one-acre tree-lined lawn stretching from Smith to the western skybridge.
The performance venue is envisioned at the western bridge, taking advantage of the lawn as a large gathering space. Smaller-scale nooks with furniture are tucked away among trees along the lawn to emphasize the intended active nature of the project. Arts Brookfield, the cultural arm of Brookfield, will animate the space with world-class art installations and performances.
A major part of Allen Center’s redevelopment will be the addition of a co-working space, another hallmark of a modern office. With buildings all around Houston adding their own co-working space, Central Houston president Bob Eury says it won't be long before a major co-working space provider opens in Houston.
Construction is set to begin in June. The design was a creation of Dallas-based Morrison Dilworth + Walls while the landscaping architect is the Houston-based Office of James Burnett. D.E. Harvey Builders will execute the plans. Disturbance from construction will be kept low. Commercial Gateway’s latest March data shows Allen Center has a combined 265k SF on the market with an additional 200k SF of sublease space listed.
Hear more about this project and other Downtown activity at Bisnow's Future of Downtown event May 25 at the Hilton Americas!

To try and revive the spirit of Turkey Day, I thought it would be nice to offer up a few pop culture reminders of just how fun and funny this festival of eating can be. Granted, these are oldies but they are quite the goodies to gobble up:
It's hard to pick just one of the many moments from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving to savor but a choice tasty scene is definitely when Snoopy leads the culinary charge in the kitchen.
While's the food being prepared is far from the traditional holiday menu, you can't deny the flair that Snoopy brings to the stove top (with the aid of his trusty sous chef Woodstock) and his napkin folding skills would certainly please even the pickiest of etiquette followers:
Giving thanks is an important part of the holiday but most essential is the meal, something that mother-in-law Marie on Everybody Loves Raymond is proud to preside over.
One of the few times that her loved ones were reluctant to gather around her table was the Thanksgiving that she decided to make a "healthy" dinner that had tofu turkey as the centerpiece of the feast.
Being nutrition conscious for this time of year is a good idea but flavor goes a long way towards making that happen and let's face it, people; Thanksgiving is a meat lover's holiday, like it or not. As good a cook as Marie is, there are just some things that you can't make taste good and tofu is one of them:
AFTER DINNER CONFESSION MINTS: I know everyone has their favorite Thanksgiving episode of Friends, complete with favorite scenes and lines, but I keep going back for seconds on the chain of confessionals started by feuding siblings Ross and Monica.
The timing of those truth tellings(and for Rachel, a moment of culinary clarity) is dead on perfect, with the reactions of the elder Gellers putting the comedic cherry on top of that silly sweet sundae,which would taste a whole lot better than Rachel's beef and jam trifle:
When it comes to major league eating, it's hard to top the Gilmore Girls for their incredible persistence and excellent taste but even that one year of attending four Thanksgiving dinners was a challenge even for them.
Luckily, Rory and Lorelai were able to stop at Luke's, where in addition to a delicious meal, they also had helpings of updates about Kirk's cat troubles( a very uncool cat, I do agree with Maury on that one) and reviews of Rory and Jess's attempt at PDA. Have to admit, that smooch did need a pinch of passion there:
So, in the face of other holiday themed controversies, let us try to keep the Thanksgiving horse before the Christmas cart and take all of this in the proper stride. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy a giggle or two with your gravy, especially if it's served up with a smile,plus a side of wink and nod:

More Than 14 Mind-blowing Aquaponics Guide - Grow New Aquaponics Guide Ideas
How you can Construct Aquaponics
Hydroponic is the approach utilized for growing plants in water combined with nutritious minerals. Earthbound plants find hydroponics an ideal environment to expand and also are successfully able to soak up mineral nutrients from the water.
The Aquaponic System
Tank farming or aqua farming is the breeding of water organisms such as fish, oysters, lobsters, water plants, and numerous even more varieties. These are cultivated in both salt/freshwater as well as in a regulated environment. This system is split right into two components, one for the pets and the various other for the plants. It additionally utilizes either fresh or briny water and the size of the system might differ depending upon its objective or the variety of plants and also animals being reproduced. Business systems are normally big, while home systems can be smaller. The bacteria present in the water processes the animal waste to develop nitrates from hazardous nitrites. These nitrates are after that soaked up by the plants as nutrients, which consequently, assists keep the water pets and also plants healthy and nourished. Currently, that you have comprehended exactly what an aquaponic does, allow's discover out the best ways to build one.
Things You'll Need
Making the system at house will certainly require some standard things. You'll to start with require a tiny fish pond and also a grow-tub with a grow-bed, which is to be kept above the fish tank.
A pond bin of about 250-300 litres for the fish. - USD 4-15
A grow bathtub of 150-200 liters, that is rectangle-shaped as well as long. - USD 4-20
An expand bed that is placed on top of the aquarium. - USD 5-15
A 1000-1500 liter capability pump for the pond which need to be powerful sufficient to pump water to the top plant storage tank. This storage tank is generally positioned at an elevation of 1 meter or more. - USD 20-40
A water-proof expansion cord that is about 10-15 meters long.
An air pump with twin outlets that go to the very least 15 meters long. - USD 7-15
A computerized rise protector that will certainly pump water in the system every 2 to 3 hours.
A water purifier pump for constant flow, purification, and also oxygen supply.
You'll need tiles or slabs of block to earn a roofing for the fish storage tank.
A cable gauze or bird cable to safeguard the fish from victim.
A lengthy garden tube pipeline.
A pH degree screening set - USD 6-20
Electric tape, a driller, as well as a pair of scissors.
Last but not the least, some fish, the kind you'll want to consume or maintain as animals, together with some water plants (for consumption or decoration).
Ways to Develop Aquaponics in the house
Constructing this system may seem tricky in the beginning yet it's relatively simple once you get the hang of it.
Action 1: The fish tank will should be partly buried in soil in order to maintain optimum temperature for the fish to make it through. Area the tank in a shaded area to avoid regular dissipation and also re-filling.
Step 2: Now, take the water-proof cable television and link it to the water and air pump, and also attach them to the plug point. (Please make sure that the power source is turned off!) Bear in mind to maintain the electrical components far from the fish and constantly covered with a waterproof container.
Step 3: Put the plant-grow storage tank diagonally above the fish container. This will certainly make sure far better pumping and also circulation in between the two storage tanks. The grow-tub needs to also have little holes pierced near the bottom, to ensure that the water passes through as well as returns to the fish tank.
Step 4: Attach the pond pump with the garden tube pipeline and automated surge protector.
Tip 5: Now, dechlorinate the water, leave it be for an hour, and after that include the fish.
Action 6: Include some expand matter, such as clay or gravel right into the plant container and also area your plants. You could likewise think about expanding plants from seed.
Things to Do
You will certainly require to keep a look at the water level and fish. Keep them well fed, due to the fact that they are accountable for the development of the plants. Also, giving the plants regular vitamin supplements will certainly be very helpful for their general health. Make certain that the containers are not contaminated by birds feces and also dead bugs. Constantly bear in mind to cleanse your aquaponic a minimum of once in a month.
You can also take into consideration introducing variants to your personal homemade system.
Earthbound plants locate hydroponics an ideal atmosphere to expand and are effectively able to soak up mineral nutrients from the water.
Tank farming or aqua farming is the reproduction of water microorganisms such as fish, oysters, lobsters, water plants, and lots of more types. It also utilizes either fresh or brackish water as well as the dimension of the system may vary depending on its objective or the selection of plants and also animals being reproduced. These nitrates are then soaked up by the plants as nutrients, which in turn, helps keep the water pets and plants healthy and also nourished. A 1000-1500 liter ability pump for the pond which must be effective adequate to pump water to the top plant tank.

The wind PTC operates by allowing domestic wind energy producers to claim tax credits based on the amount of wind power they actually produce, which makes wind energy cheaper for producers so that they can compete on the open marketplace with other power suppliers. Without it, some 37,000 jobs in the industry could be eliminated, many of them in rural areas across the country. The wind industry has developed rapidly over the past several years, while its costs have plummeted. It offers a way forward for energy that is clean and domestically produced, but if the PTC is yanked out from under the industry right now, then all of this progress could go to waste.
The military biofuels program, meanwhile, was born from the assessment of defense leaders that our reliance on oil is a major vulnerability. Our military deploys troops and spends billions of dollars every year securing oil supply routes, and any rise in oil prices can leave the Defense Department on the hook for billions in costs. That is why the military has been leading the way in developing advanced biofuels to power its ships and aircraft. Congress just needs to stay out of the way.
So why should wind power and military biofuels be bipartisan issues? Because our energy supply is a matter of national security – an issue that should always be supported by Democrats and Republicans. Moreover, we should remember that the PTC is a tax credit and not a “handout” for suppliers. It doesn't replace the market — it motivates the players in the marketplace. The only benefits come from actually producing wind power, so there’s no danger of the government “picking winners and losers” or dumping money into companies that never get off the ground. As for biofuels, we can all agree that it’s dangerous for our military to be hooked to countries like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela on a permanent oil feeding-tube. We need secure ways to power our ships, tanks, and aircraft that are not dependent on the volatile global oil market.
For all of these reasons and more, military veterans like me from across the country will be gathering in D.C. this week to take our case to Congress on both these issues. For members of Congress looking to show they’re serious about bipartisan cooperation, extending the wind PTC and preserving the military biofuels program are great places to start.

Five year-old Dinah, rescued with the rest of the Junction Jazz, has been enjoying life in her loving foster home. She has learned the wonders of a warm bed, good food, and caring human interactions. Her foster family says “Dinah has a great temperament! She loves to work the backyard, run around, jump, play and has a lot of energy!
She has been a great companion dog to for the resident English Setter so another active dog that will run and play with her is important. She’s very affectionate, loving, super sweet, goofy and easy to love.”
As an active English Setter, Dinah is curious about the world beyond her yard, so a secure, 6' no-climb fence is a must. Anything stacked by the fence (like a woodpile) or near the fence is an escape route for Dinah. She needs a yard that is large enough for her to really stretch out and run and lots of Setter-interesting things to stimulate her; she could easily self-exercise and work her yard for 30 minutes or more several times a day. She is reasonably good on a leash, but has a strong interest in other dogs and meeting people so like most English Setters care must be exercised or she might bolt.
Dinah loves her toys, especially the throw toys, and always appreciates a treat. Dinah needs a home where she is treated with the calm, gentle care she has always deserved, but only recently experienced. With this kind of care, Dinah has easily learned several standard commands.
Soulful brown eyes and a stunning tri-color coat make Dinah a true English Setter beauty. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and fully vetted. Dinah will do best in a home with another active dog and no cats. She is in a foster home near Dallas, TX.


Manso-Nkwanta (Ash), Dec. 28, GNA - The government owes the Saint Martin's Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum in the Amansie West District of Ashanti a total of 280 million cedis for buruli ulcer treatment. Mr John Bawa, the Hospital Administrator, who disclosed this said, this situation was one of the major frustrations facing the management of the hospital.
Speaking at a day's workshop on the early detection of buruli ulcer for 40 basic schools teachers in the Amansie West District at Manso-Nkwanta, he said the locked up money was hindering the operations of the hospital.
Mr Bawa explained that the hospital credits drugs for its work for payment to be made at the end of the month and as such, if the bill for the treatment of buruli ulcer, which takes a chunk of its expenditure were not paid promptly, it destabilizes the hospital's work. "Buruli ulcer patients occupy the greater number of beds in the hospital, since it serves as a referral hospital for the treatment of the disease. This therefore takes a greater portion of the hospital's expenditure".
Therefore, if at the end of the month, he said government did not pay the bills, it would put the hospital in danger of not being able to buy drugs for its operations and appealed to the government for the prompt payment of bills for the treatment of the disease. Another area of concern to the hospital Mr Bawa said, was the lack of doctors, stating that presently there was only one resident doctor and described the situation as disturbing in view of the volume of work at the hospital.
Mr Ben Kwakye-Adeefe, the District Chief Executive, called on teachers to team up with the Community-Based Volunteers Surveillance Groups in the district for the early detection of the disease to reduce its occurrence.
He said as a result of the increasing number of buruli ulcer patients, who reports at the hospital, some of the patients and their relatives sleep on the floor.
To solve this problem therefore, the DCE said, the assembly has built a buruli ulcer ward complex at the hospital.
Mr Kwakye-Adeefe commended ANESVAD, a Spanish NGO for its immense support to the hospital in particular and the district in general. Mr Joseph Adomako, the District Director of Health Services, said the disease, which starts has a painless nodule, if not treated early enough leads to massive ulceration resulting in debilitating deformities.
He said 34 out of the 35 buruli ulcer patients on admission at the hospital, were mostly children between the ages of 12 and 15. Dec. 28, 05

The use of traditional materials like bamboo and rattan can also make the central theme for designing the interior of a living room. Once you decide on using such a material, the other decorating and furnishing also seems to be automatically decided. The whole idea is one of following nature and the colors of the furnishing and the walls can follow this general trend. Maintaining this sort of furniture is however slightly problematic, as the surfaces can collect dust and dirt and also create conditions for insects to flourish.
If you entertain guests a lot, then I would advise you to go for sleeper sofas. They are good for small spaces but the biggest advantage of sleeper sofas is their ability to be turned into beds. If you have visitors and your space is too small for added beds, these not only save space but also money, since you will have paid for a bed and a sofa in one (2 in1).

Geometric Patterns. Geometric patterns never go out of style! If you want to add a splash of color to the living room, a geometric pattern is the best way to do it. Either choose a wall for the pattern or just a part of the wall and create a perfect conversation piece. You do not have to stick to simple lines. You can make a bold statement with geometric patterns. Choose a dark color with a subdued color to make a subtle but strong statement. On the other hand, you can go all out with bright colors for a geometric pattern to make it look modern and quirky.
An interior design of a living room should never be too extravagant or expensive. Remember that a living room is a space that is used extensively by all members of a family, especially during waking hours and this needs to be addressed while deciding on the style or décor that will go into the interior design of the living room.
One of the most important steps to designing your space is deciding on a color palette. Color has the power to shape your mood, so it’s important that you choose a palette that’s in line with the way you want people to feel when they enter the space. If you want the room to exude serenity and calm, then some cool neutrals are your best bet. If you want more energy in your living room, then you can go with some bold or bright colors. The rest of your design ideas will revolve around your color palette, so choose wisely.

The unofficial mod is a new adventure inspired by, and set in the world of, Hexen. The demo version contains the Cleric's first hub, with three maps and an estimated 1.5 to 2 hours of monster-slaying and puzzle-solving gameplay.
The original Hexen was released in 1995 as a sequel to 1994's Heretic, built upon id Software's Doom engine. Hexen 2 followed in 1997. The last entry in the series, 1998's Heretic 2, was something of a departure from the norm, set a thousand years after Hexen 2 and featuring a third-person perspective.
Oh hell yes. I loved Hexen. Shout out to awesome game series. Heretic, Hexen, Hexen 2, and Heretic 2. (I hope I didn't miss one).

Many Britons are either hoping for improved weather in the UK or are making summer vacation plans abroad.
Consider purchasing a trip to Lapland UK instead of continuing to fantasize about warm sea waters lapping against the coast and Mr. Whippys melting quickly.
The Christmas experience, a vacation spot for kids, has started taking reservations for 2023.
Lapland excursions not only provide plenty of snow and the chance to see Father Christmas, but they also lend a certain charm to the holiday season that may help set the mood for the big day.
From November 11 until Christmas Eve, families may immerse themselves in the enchanted world of Santa Claus at the Ascot-based holiday festival without having to take a flight to the top of Finland.
Lapland UK draws young and old into a region of cozy wooden huts and pine trees covered in snow, and mystical elves assist tourists in making the most of their time there.
You will receive free parking, an Elf passport for each child in your group, and a toy factory toy before Christmas at Lapland UK.
A copy of the Lapland Times, the reporting elf's own newspaper featuring news from the elf country, will be distributed to families.
Also, if you have a newborn in your party, they will receive a free keepsake photo and a "elflet card" asking them to join the small ones on the journey of a lifetime.
Young children under the age of one year are admitted free to Lapland UK.
Children older than 12 months will get a lovely husky soft toy when they get to see Father Christmas.
Children will also get the opportunity to work in Mother Christmas' kitchen and the Toy Factory.
LaplandUK is a day-trip destination; hence, overnight stays are not permitted.
If you must travel a distance to get to the park from your home, the good news is that there are several inexpensive motels and vacation rentals nearby.
While there are several Airbnb homes and VRBO accommodations within a 20-minute drive to Lapland UK, TripAdvisor provides a useful recommendation to the finest affordable hotels nearby.
Today at 12 p.m., the booking portal for the 2023 dates will open; you may make reservations at portal.laplanduk.co.uk.
Tickets this year range in price from £59 to £139 during the week and from £109 to £149 for the weekend.

Thank you velvet for your well thought out response. I have tears in my eyes because its so nice to hear from strangers with such insight and perspective based on a blurb I wrote.
In terms of communication with my CG, I actually find the angry ones easier to deal with because I see the addict coming to the surface full force. When you see glimmers of your partner in the loving texts, but nothing is changing, it is MUCH more difficult to deal with. This happened last week and it knocked me back 20 steps I had hiked up over the last couple of months.
I find every decision, every response I make is met with asking several peoples advice while I still try and stay ‘tough’ in my approach, especially when other family members are continuing to enable him or fail to acknowledge the problem. I have to realize that my relationship with my CG is different than a buddy’s relationship with him, a brothers relationship, and even a mother’s relationship. I am 28, and my future was wrapped up in this man. None of those people can say the same. My CG knows this, and realizes that he can’t give that to me , and I don’t actually believe he thinks he has a choice to change that. I may be wrong, but it helps me sleep.
Anyway, velvet I would have enjoyed joining the group yesterday, but was not home unfortunately! Hopefully next time 🙂

A fire at a Covid-19 hospital in Vasai on Friday claimed the lives of at least 13 patients. The fire broke out in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Vijay Vallabh Hospital, which is treating Covid-19 patients.
The fire started in the air conditioning unit of the hospital’s ICU, where as many as 17 patients were admitted at the time. The incident occurred after 3 am and within 5 minutes, the Vasai Virar Corporation fire brigade reached the spot.
Soon after the fire was doused, the hospital and Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation began the process of shifting the remaining patients to other hospitals. At least 21 patients were moved to nearby hospitals following the fire.
More details awaited.

Day 2: ALICE UNDERGROUND (Kate Kline May, USA, 1984)
Reading an oversized book as she waits for BART, Alice is minding her own business when she notices a group of odd figures milling about the platform (who hasn’t?); once on the train a man in costume dashes by and she takes chase, first through several BART trains and then across the cavernous corridors of Civic Center Station. So begins Bay Area photographer Kate Kline May’s appropriately anarchic adaptation of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” which casts 1980’s San Francisco as a surrealistic space just as unpredictable—and full of possibility—as the one encountered in Lewis Carroll’s famous book for children. Shot on grainy black and white 16mm film and flaunting an infectiously inventive, DIY attitude, for a half hour the film follows Alice as she stumbles through a series of vignettes inspired by the original book (the most wonderful being a rowdy croquet match presided over by Sigrid Wurschmidt as the Queen of Hearts, who seems at once to be channeling Joan Collins and the great silent film vamps).
May dispenses with the gentle, child-appropriate whimsy of the original material and draws instead from the gritty aesthetics and sensibility of the “underground” film and performance art communities of the 1960’s and 1970’s for her evocation of a modern day wonderland; the improvisatory films of Warhol and Jack Smith often come to mind, as do the fantastical dimensions of the everyday as glimpsed in the work of Rivette. But it’s the spirit and artistic vision of Maya Deren that seems to hover most dominantly over the proceedings—there are moments, particularly in the sense of unsteady spatial dislocation, where the film almost feels like a reimagining of the classic At Land.
In the end what is most irresistible about this playful adaptation is the sense of comradery it evokes, the tangible excitement generated by a group of friends who as artistic individuals band together to create something and have a marvelous time doing it. It’s no wonder that once Alice returns to “real life” she frantically descends back down the escalator into Civic Center Station once again, as if desperate to begin the cycle all over again. An undersung Bay Area gem.

PHILADELPHIA - Washington Redskins cornerback Byron Westbrook told The Washington Post he does not think his brother, Eagles' All-Pro running back Brian Westbrook, will play against his team Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Westbrook also hinted that the Eagles may be hiding the true severity of the ankle "strain'' Brian suffered Sept. 21 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Birds' Pro Bowler practiced Wednesday, but was limited, and is expected to be on the field again today.
He missed last week's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, as backups Tony Hunt and Correll Buckhalter failed three straight times to punch the ball in from the 1-yard line with five minutes to play.
"I'm definitely more optimistic than I was last week,'' Brian Westbrook said Wednesday. "I'm close. I'm getting closer daily.''


SR 37 & 186th STREET
Intersection Improvement Project
DES No. 1700717
Noblesville, Hamilton County, Indiana
Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) - Greenfield District
INDOT intends to proceed with an intersection improvement project at the intersection of SR 37 and 186th Street. The need for this project is due to the high frequency of vehicle collisions and the existing level of service (LOS) F for both 186th Street approaches. The purpose of this project is to improve the safety and efficiency of the intersection.
A public information meeting was held on Tuesday, September 8, 2020, in three sessions (5:30-6:10 PM, 6:15-6:55 PM, and 7-7:40 PM) at the Green Room, Federal Hill Commons Park, 175 Logan Street, Noblesville, Indiana 46060. Additionally, a virtual open house was made available for those who could not attend in person. The virtual open house and materials from the presentation can continue to be viewed below. Please continue to check this website for updates as the project develops.

Health officials are urgently reviewing the safety of cladding on Edinburgh's Sick Kids hospital due to concerns raised during the Grenfell Inquiry, it has been revealed.
The hospital - which cost £150million to build and will set taxpayers back £450m over the next 25 years - has components in its cladding which were also used on Grenfell Tower.
Construction of the hospital is already subject to an ongoing public inquiry, although is fully operational after its delayed opening in 2021.
But NHS Lothian is now undertaking compliance checks to ensure the cladding on the building does not pose a risk to the health and safety of staff, patients and visitors.
Holyrood opponents called for SNP Health Secretary Humza Yousaf to make an urgent explanation about what is being done to remedy the situation.
It comes after the health board discovered the hospital was not fully compliant with fire safety building standards when it was constructed.
NHS Lothian maintain the cladding on the Sick Kids is safe and there is no significant additional risk to patients, staff and visitors.
The revelations were described as 'incredibly troubling' and there were calls for the health board to replace the cladding with a 'safe' material.
An update to the NHS Lothian executive leadership marked 'commercial in confidence', disclosed to The Scotsman, details the issues at the hospital.
The document, dated January 25, 2022, states the building standards were not compliant on the new hospital due to the distance between 'cavity barriers'.
These cavity barriers are designed to prevent fire from spreading as quickly as it otherwise would and are, the document states, required every ten metres.
But on the Sick Kids hospital these barriers have only been installed every 20 metres.
The hospital's private sector partner, IHS Lothian Ltd, recommended 'additional fire safety actions'.
The new hospital is also covered in an Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) style cladding, similar to that used on the Grenfell Tower.
Several types of cladding were used on the West London tower, including Arconic's version of ACM, Celotex RS5000 insulation, and Kingspan's Kooltherm K15.
It is this last component that is also used on the exterior walls of the new Sick Kids hospital.
The NHS Lothian document states information relied on during construction of the Sick Kids have 'subsequently been shown to be incorrect'.
Senior leadership at the health board was told: "This statement relates to fire testing results that were relied upon by the Multiplex and construction industry which have proven to be incorrect/falsified."
The public will be 'beyond shocked'
Tory MSP for the Lothian region and housing spokesperson, Miles Briggs, called for NHS Lothian to remove the cladding and replace it with a safe material
He said: "This is a deeply concerning revelation.
"Repeated mistakes from SNP ministers meant the Sick Kids hospital opened years behind schedule and it is astonishing that this cladding has been used in its construction.
"The whole project was woefully mismanaged from the start and the public will be beyond shocked to discover this latest potentially-deadly problem within the hospital.
"Ministers must urgently explain why a guarantee cannot be given by the health board that this will not pose a risk to patients, staff and visitors.
"In light of the Grenfell tragedy, this type of cladding should no longer be used and NHS Lothian have a duty now to have it removed and replaced by a safe material.
"I will be writing to Humza Yousaf to find out what action he will be taking over this."
Scottish Labour's deputy leader Jackie Baillie added: "This is an incredibly troubling revelation and is one of several safety concerns raised about Scotland's hospitals recently.
"We cannot allow patients and staff to be put at risk due to the use of dangerous cladding.
"We need answers as to why the installation of this cladding was allowed to go ahead and what the Government intend to do to sort this issue."
Review of critical systems and infrastructure
Jim Crombie, deputy chief executive at NHS Lothian, said: "The Royal Hospital for Children and Young People has been designed and engineered to a very high standard to ensure it meets strict building and fire safety regulations.
"Indeed, enhancement work carried out before it opened resulted in a building that exceeded existing fire safety requirements.
"Following concerns about external cladding as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire, the board sought and received additional assurances regarding the building's safety.
"Aluminium composite material has been used on the building, but is not the same material that was used on the Grenfell Tower.
"Despite receiving these assurances, NHS Lothian is in discussions with the PFI provider regarding a programme of further improvement as a precautionary measure.
"We are also currently conducting a review of critical systems and infrastructure at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh as part of life cycle maintenance and this review includes fire safety."
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: "The Edinburgh Children's Hospital is safe.
"We are aware that Multiplex Construction has indicated that there is an element of non-compliance with cavity barriers at the hospital, but the fire advisors for Multiplex have concluded that the overall level of safety is not significantly reduced.
"However, NHS Lothian has indicated that it expects this issue to be addressed and a programme of work is being developed."

|Title:||The impact of promoting renewable energy in Taiwan — How much hail is added to snow in farmland prices?||Authors:||Lai, Mei Chun
WU, PEI ING
Liou, Je Liang
|Keywords:||Externality | Geographic information system | Renewable energy policy | Solar panels | Spatial error model | Spatial lag model||Issue Date:||20-Dec-2019||Journal Volume:||241||Source:||Journal of Cleaner Production||Abstract:||
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd The purpose of this study is to first examine whether farmland prices are higher with renewable energy solar panel installation than without such installation. Second, we study whether farmland with solar panels has a different impact on the prices of other farmland at different distances. Finally, we ask whether the effect on farmland prices varies when the installed solar panel capacity of nearby farmland varies. The contribution of this study is that the impacts are evaluated in monetary terms regarding “not in my backyard” or “yes in my backyard” for farmland surrounded by solar panel installation. The results indicate that farmland with solar panel installation increases the prices of other farmland at different distances from 3.40% to 37.02% compared to the average farmland price. These results clearly show that “planting” solar panels increases farmland prices to different degrees for all divisions (districts) of the studied city except for one. However, higher farmland prices may not benefit current landowners if potential renters or buyers cannot afford to rent or purchase farmland at a high price. Thus, higher farmland prices due to the installation of renewable energy capacity neither benefit existing surrounding farmers nor are good for the agricultural development of the country. The implementation of renewable energy policies should not only focus on more than meeting the renewable energy target. Prioritizing locations and enforcement of the implementation should also be considered to maintain the long-term agricultural development of Taiwan.

Clover discovered her love of stories with horror novels.
She and her family moved when she was twelve, and as the new girl in town with no friends, moving within walking distance of the city library was no accident. That’s how monsters and books snuck into her life. The monsters got old, but the books never left.
While she found companionship and escape with the gruesome at first—thank you, Christopher Pike—she found a home and kindred spirits within the pages of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Jo March was it for her. Since then, she’s wanted ink stains on her fingers from writing, just like Jo. She laments that computers are so tidy!
She now lives in Utah with her husband, their five children and dog, her plants, and her personal library.
Family, oxygen, and books.
That’s really all you need!

NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk Police say a man broke into two Chinese restaurants early Friday morning, and they need your help finding him.
Surveillance video from one of the restaurants shows the man smashing out the front glass window with a blunt object. He then quickly rushes inside the restaurant and takes money from the register.
The restaurants that were targeted are:
- Golden Chopsticks - 8406 Hampton Boulevard
- China House 6200 N. Military Highway
Yang Lu owns Golden Chopsticks. He says the thief took about $120 from his cash register, and he expects it will cost almost $400 to replace the shattered glass on the front door.
These incidents come not long after the department arrested 40-year-old Elliott Del Valle for a string of 10 Chinese restaurant burglaries earlier this month. He's been held in Norfolk City Jail without bond since May 10.
Police say Del Valle broke into eight restaurants in two days.
Anyone who recognizes the man in the latest burglaries is asked to submit a tip by calling the Norfolk Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP (1-888-562-5887) or by using the P3Tips app.

I don’t remember the first cup of coffee I ever drank. I probably didn’t like it.
I don’t think that I had ever drank a hot cup of tea until I moved to Lugansk, Ukraine in 1994. I learned quickly that tea in Ukraine is drank hot, often and year round. This was difficult for me, especially in the heat of the summer. Coffee pots didn’t exist in Ukraine in those early years, and if they did, they were often so expensive that no one could afford them.
When I returned to Ukraine in 2003, one of the first purchases I made was a coffee pot. However, tea was (is) still king. Most Ukrainians that visited my home in Kyiv still preferred tea to coffee.
When I moved to Kazakhstan, the people there loved tea also, with a twist: milk. Well, I had to learn to drink hot tea with milk, which definitely changes the taste of the tea! Every time I had tea in the afternoon, I felt I was becoming more British and was expecting the Queen of England to walk in at any time!
The time I spent in the Georgian Republic I quickly learned that the Turks had influenced their tastes. The Turks love their tea, but they also love strong coffee. So, many Georgians like to fix Turkish coffee at home. While it wasn’t one of my favorites, I loved living in a culture where coffee was appreciated. 😉 Also, I learned that I love Turkish tea!
Now, I am living in Donetsk, UA and I have witnessed a change. There are many small coffee shops around town and several more have opened up since moving here in July.
When I invite people to my home, I always prepare hot water for tea and prepare coffee if they want it. I must tell you, I have witnessed most of my guests want coffee. A small group meets at my apartment on Thursday night. There is usually one or two who like tea, however, last night every one of them had a cup of coffee.
Most of the coffee I prepare is from the US, so I don’t have an unlimited supply. It’s not like I can go to the local Auchan and get more US coffee. So I guess I better start buying some local brands and find several that I like. Guess you could say that I am trying to change the lives of people, one cup of coffee at a time.

A tale of two cities: Social and environmental influences shaping risk factors and protective behaviors in two Mexico-US border cities.
The economic, social, cultural, and political milieus that influence HIV risk behaviors along the US-Mexico border are understudied. In an effort to appropriately inform interventions targeting structural influences, we compared injecting drug using populations living in two cities膒Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and Tijuana, Baja California膒situated on the Mexico-US border. These populations presented with similar demographic profiles, but differed significantly in terms of social and environmental influences that can influence both risk and protective factors (e.g., family drug use, migration, drug use patterns). We observed distinct behavioral and structural influences in these two border cities that will require tailored intervention strategies to reduce HIV transmission.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Euclid police say they have been notified of a potential protest planned for the city’s downtown area on Wednesday afternoon.
The protest was set to begin at approximately 1 p.m., with a march beginning at Sims Park and proceeding towards the Wendy’s on East 222nd Street.
According to Euclid police, the demonstration is in protest of the fast-food chain Wendy’s apparent ties to President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.
A derogatory message towards the president was sprayed on the Wendy’s sign on Tuesday night, Euclid police say.
Businesses are not required to close at this time and the Euclid Police Department has not enacted a curfew.
“However, we will not tolerate acts of violence or property destruction. Plans are in place to address any such illegal activity,” police shared on Facebook.

When you read the name of Joker Win online slot, you know that some classic action is about to take over the Vegas-style 5×4 grid, and who else to thank but pin-up casino Spinomenal…
This time, this innovative iGaming giant has come up with a way or two to enhance the bonus rounds and dramatically increase your chances of winning. Are you ready?
Theme and symbols
Joker Win is an online video slot developed and brought to you by software developer Spinomenal. The game is designed in a classic Las Vegas style and looks amazing.
What do we mean by the ‘awesome’ part? Well, first, take a look at the graphic design that this one-armed online bandit has to offer. It looks incredible, crisp and detailed graphics, accompanied by a real Las Vegas casino.
What more could you want in a classic, right? Even the background sound matches perfectly with the pixels of the whole scene and moreover, it has an atmosphere. The paytable is represented by icons such as Lucky 7, Bars, Bells, Diamonds and watermelons, grapes, lemons, oranges and low cost cherries.
The Joker takes the role of the wild symbol that appears on all reels as a substitute for all other images except the scatter.
Betting Options and Features
Joker Win online video slot features a grid of 5 reels, each with 4 symbols high, and offers players 20 paylines. Typically, 3 or more matching symbols on a row of the leftmost reel from left to right will result in a winning hand.
If Spinomenal is known for anything, then this is definitely an opportunity to offer all players the chance to find out their prices on the reels by choosing a betting range from £0.20 to £200.00 per spin.
If you want to know more about this creative company, here’s our exclusive interview with Spinomenal, so take your mind off it! In any case, back on track.
Free spins – 3 or more falling scatters will take you to the bonus wheel, where you will spin and determine the number of free spins (10-40) and which middle symbol will be the only one present during this feature.
Also, with each spin, a synchronised reel is triggered to indicate that the 2 reels contain the same symbols in the bonus game and the main game. Let’s not forget the Joker Wild, because if you hit 5 of them, you’ll win 1000 times that on the way!
Joker Win online slot is a truly amazing classic Las Vegas experience that is definitely worth a try. The developer took care to improve the bonus round and significantly increase your chances of winning, which is always a big plus in the eyes of players, so we think Spinomenal did a great job.


A total of 12 people were arrested by the Special Currency Police Unit in Italy of the Guardia di Finanza due to allegedly cheating the lottery. The individuals were connected to four Scratch & Win lottery jackpots, two that had grand prizes of seven million euros each. The other two were worth five million euros. Four of those arrested were employees of Lottomatica Holding, a subsidiary of IGT.
Reports indicate that from 2015 until 2019, the employees of Lottomatica used confidential information of the winning tickets and the retailers. The code of ethics within the IGT company prohibits employees from taking part in any games operated by the company. So to avoid this issue, the employees used their relatives to complete the scheme.
Relatives went to the locations and purchased lottery tickets. They kept purchasing the tickets until they hit the jackpot. The arrested individuals now face several charges including aggravated fraud, self-laundering of illicit capital, receiving stolen goods and having unauthorized access to computer systems.
IGT was not happy that its employees were part of a scam. In a statement on the matter, the company said they take the incident very seriously and have since the investigation into the matter began. They have cooperated with the Judicial Authority to help move the investigation along and want to ensure that the games provided are protected as well as the interests of customers.
The four employees were suspended as soon as IGT found out the investigation was taking place. The company not only worked with the Judicial Authority but also conducted an internal investigation to evaluate the situation. Internal systems have been reviewed along with processes that work to prevent fraud and criminal activity.
IGT has also worked to provide further protections to ensure that this type of incident does not happen again.

The alignment doesn't change over distance. The laserbeams are straight lines and over distance the triangle only gets bigger.
What I did found out is that turning the focus knob could throw up the alignment. The lenses aren't perfectly centered in the barrel and will deform the shape of the triangle.
It takes longer to finish my build because one of the LPC826 has died. I have ordered six LPC826 diodes and 4 of them already died.
You're right but that's not what i meant. What I was trying to say is that the isosceles triangle formed by the three laser beams might appear to be "perfect" at close distances, but as the beams diverge, the imperfections will become amplified and you will notice a difference in distance between all three dots.

On Nov. 1 at Studley Theatre, the Department of Music hosted their annual “Fall Vocals” concert featuring jazz and classical music. The first half of the evening remained devoted to jazz vocalist Teri Roiger’s applied vocal students performing “The Modern Musings of Thelonious Monk,” while the second half showcased choral conductor Colin Britt’s Chamber Singers and Concert Choir presenting “The Byrds & the Bs.”
“The fact that both sets were sort of a cohesive whole, had their own individual unity, worked really well,” Britt said. “It’s all vocal music. It’s all telling a story.”
Roiger’s students took to the stage first to sing swinging Monk tunes. This year she longed to implement a theme different from the seasonal ones of the past. Roiger wanted the group to tackle Monk. The influential pianist composed 72 different arrangements instrumental to the development of the bebop jazz style. Over the years various musicians, including Roiger, put lyrics to his tunes.
“The music of Monk is some of the most loved music in the world, especially in the jazz world,” Roiger said. “He’s like the eccentric genius of modern jazz.”
Six out of her 12 private prodigies captivated the crowd with songs such as “Ask Me Now,” “Pannonica” and “In Walked Bud,” the last number being about jazz pianist Bud Powell. It depicts a lively scene of several great bebop generation jazz artists getting together for a jam session.
“Jazz is like taking everything you’ve been taught about music and throwing it out the window,” fourth-year jazz performance major Gabby Frometa said.
Each vocalist belted out their selected songs, occasionally scat singing and sometimes sounding almost choppy because of the tricky, angular rhythms. One duet undertook “Pannonica” about a baroness famous for her patronage of jazz. A blues medley ended their set displaying the soloists as a whole.
Britt’s Chamber Singers filed on stage next followed by the Concert Choir. Filling the sabbatical replacement for professor Edward Lundergan, Britt admitted that he initially planned on going through the school’s entire musical library as per Lundergan’s suggestion.
However, after an hour and a half of perusing the selection alphabetically he only made it through the Bs. Coming all the way from Jersey City, Britt decided to play around with the concept of “The Byrds and the Bs.” Byrd refers to renowned English composer William Byrd.
According to Britt, the two choirs started their twice-a-week, hour and a fifteen-minute-long rehearsals on Aug. 29 to prepare for the show, unlike the improvisational jazz vocalists who, like Roiger said, started officially rehearsing for this show a few weeks prior.
Chamber Singers set focused on earlier music from the 16th century and one composition from the 19th century. The groups advanced repertoire can be heard in “Sing Joyfully,” composed in six parts instead of the common four. Concert Choir’s large size and more traditional pieces enticed the audience through melodic harmonies. They also executed 20th century selections and spirituals.
“I thought it was great,” Britt said. “It’s always fun to share a program.”

While Hanson has apologized, blogger Dr. Isis, who says she was “a female scientist before being a female scientist became so cool” took him to task, writing, in part:
In his non-apology, Hanson implies that this video was meant to be an over-the-top caricature of the challenges faced by women in science. He intended to use comedy as a device to highlight social injustice. The problem is that the behavior portrayed in the video is neither “outrageous,” nor does it reflect the “dark reality” of days gone by. It is a realistic portrayal of the types of interactions that women in science currently face. Not in 1913. Today in 2013.


text: I love Jenny Colgan books! 500 Miles from You takes place in Scotland where a mild-mannered community nurse, Cormack, changes places with a “big city” nurse, Lissie, in London. I loved this sweet romance of the two, engaging in each other’s patients and becoming friends by constant communication between the two. This story is realistic and endearing! Definitely put it on your summer reading list!

Fun Times during a Full Moon
Diagnosed a man with REALLY ACTIVE TB and now my team and I all have to get PPDs in eight weeks. Awesome.
Had to hide a medicine wards intern and med student in the ID workroom from a discharged patient who was stalking them in the hospital. And had to teach him and his co-intern and their med student how to contact the sheriff and get this person detained. I texted my old ER co-intern and DZ because the ER handles wild shit like this on the daily to make sure I didn’t miss anything. DZ thought I was the one in trouble, aww. Thankfully the guy got caught!
Patient refused to open his mouth to confirm a diagnosis of esophageal candidiasis until we got him Dilaudid. We had to start treatment with fluconazole empirically.
I swear we had like five consults all for endocarditis and they are all crashing in the ICU what the hell.

A few months ago in a spinning group on Ravelry, a spinner posted about how the image of the coronavirus might make a good spindle whorl, with the weight on the outside. She made one out of a wooden bead and wood screws. Inspired by this post, Jame A. (distaff on Ravelry), decided to make her own version out of polymer clay, wood toothpicks, and dowels. (“I chose to make the spindles with old polymer clay I had on hand as a reflection of the need to isolate and stay close to home. For me, spinning has been a comforting constant during the disruption of this pandemic.”) She says the spindles are a bit fragile and need more glue or something, but they are effective spindles. Here’s what Jame wrote on the forum post about creating her own version of a coronavirus spindle:
“For me, making a model of a virus and using it for a spindle serves a couple of purposes. One: the creative act helps provide a distraction from current events, and two: the fact that we know what the virus looks like represents all the scientific knowledge that is available about viruses and provides some comfort that the medical community will be able to come up with appropriate measures to alleviate the illness.
“There is also some bleak humor in watching a whole lot of people realize that the term ‘viral’ does not just apply to a cute meme becoming very popular. Going viral has real and serious consequences. ([The original poster] had expressed the thought that if others picked up on and spread the idea of making a coronavirus spindle, it would ‘go viral.’)”
PLY Magazine believes that Black lives matter, as well as LBGTQI+ lives. Those most vulnerable and persecuted in our communities deserve our love and support. Please be good to each other.

After a coup attempt in Turkey, some feared that the incident might also happen in the United States. Independent reported the attempted military takeover in Istanbul and Ankara caused chaos and many were killed. Now, here's everything you need to know about Martial Law definition, meaning and effects.
When Martial Law is declared in the United States, the first that you need to know is that the U.S. Constitution would be "suspended." Meaning, all of the people would suddenly have no rights at all. There would be no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, no freedom of assembly and armed forces can arrest citizens at any time for any reason whatsoever.
Under Martial Law, the military would take over the government. Expect there would be troops in the streets, a curfew would certainly be imposed, and checkpoints would be set up around the country.
The policy of Martial has its origins in the American Civil War, according to History.com. In July 1861, Congress ratified most of the martial measures, giving the Union military power to try and arrest citizens.
Martial Law has never been declared in the United States. However, some feared the widespread social of unrest, crime, and violence would lead to chaos. In addition, the police have become more and more militarized in recent years, with local officers being equipped with tear gas and military-grade riot shields.
In the past few months, there are rumors around the internet that claimed President Barack Obama will declare military takeover in the country. The rumors started after the President said "Americans would be better living under martial law" in an interview with Washington Post. The publication downplayed the statement, saying the president did not say that.
We tried to look in the archives of the Washington Post to know if President Obama made any Martial Law-related statements during his term, but we did not found any.
Meanwhile, in the aftermath of coup attempt in Turkey, the Guardian reported officials arrested more than 2,800 army members and detained 2,745 judges and prosecutors.
President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, pointed Fethullah Gülen as the man behind the coup attempt. Gülen is an exiled cleric living in Pennsylvania. Erdogan also demanded Obama to arrest or deport the cleric.
For the part of Gülen, he denied the conspiracy accusations against him in an interview. He added that Erdoğan could have staged the coup.

The Nobel Prize and Global Recognition
The nominations for the Peace Prize has gradually increased from the first year it was recorded in 1904, swelling from 22 to 376 in 2016.
Media coverage regarding the awards is also much bigger than before, resulting in an increased awareness of the prize.
MORE IDEAS FROM THE ARTICLE
When Muhammad Yunus received the prize in 2006 for his micro-credit initiative to thousands of poor people which became Grameen Bank, many people thought the name of the prize winner was the name of the bank.
Humanitarian work by the common man was rewarded since the inception of the prize but is well-known now due to increased exposure and media coverage.
The economic theory of expected utility maximization says that people will act out of rational self-interest. But psychologist Daniel Kahneman showed that it is incorrect.
There is an assumption among many that if someone is an achiever at a young age, the unique talent must be an innate ability, and not slogging. The extraordinary milestones that are met before the usual timeframes feel disruptive, and unsettles the status quo.
The truth is many young achievers have spent years working hard, and overcoming substantial challenges to reach the celebrated milestones.

Dell recently announced a slew of Alienware hardware including a range of gaming mice and gaming keyboards. Now, just one day after their initial announcement, Alienware's newest gaming accessories are available. There are three new mice available, the Alienware Wireless Gaming Mouse, the Alienware RGB Gaming Mouse, and the Alienware Wired/Wireless Gaming Mouse. There are also two new keyboards available, the Alienware AW510K and the Alienware AW310K.
The Alienware Wireless Gaming Mouse gets up to 300 hours of gaming on a single AA battery. It has six programmable buttons and a 12,000 DPI PixArt Sensor for accuracy and precision. It's available in black with a small accent between the two top buttons. The Alienware Wireless Gaming Mouse is available for $63.
The Alienware RGB Gaming Mouse supports Alienware RGB. It has ten programmable buttons, and you can customize the scroll wheel. It has a 16,000 DPI sensor which Alienware points out is "best-in-class." It's available in "dark side of the moon" which is a two-tone color combination featuring dark grey and black. The Alienware RGB Gaming Mouse costs $75.
The Alienware Wired/Wireless Gaming Mouse supports either wired or wireless connections and gets up to 350 hours on a single charge. It has a 16,000 DPI sensor and a customizable scroll wheel. It also has seven programmable buttons. It's available in "Lunar Light" (white) and "Dark Side of the Moon" (black and dark grey). You can also customize its look using Alien FX RGB Lighting.
