THE Scottish Police Authority has been forced into a humiliating u-turn on private committee meetings after a senior MSP told the body that it was "not the Kremlin you are running".
Watchdog chiefs were planning a summer rethink of holding important business behind closed doors, but the SPA signalled it was abandoning the policy after a "shambolic" appearance in front of a Holyrood committee yesterday.
At one point during the stormy evidence session, SPA chair Andrew Flanagan was asked by a Tory member whether he had considered his position as a result of the row.

In another development, Justice Secretary Michael Matheson has asked Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) to bring forward an inspection of the SPA.
The SPA is the oversight body for Police Scotland, but its own practices have been heavily criticised in recent months.
In December, a review by Mr Flanagan led to the watchdog backing private committee sessions and only publishing board papers on the day of a meeting.
Moi Ali, at that point an SPA board member, resigned after Mr Flanagan criticised her for questioning the two recommendations in public.
Mr Flanagan faced further criticism after he failed to pass on a scathing letter by HMICS on the private committee plan to his SPA board colleagues.
At a meeting of the Public Audit and Post-Legislative Scrutiny committee yesterday, Flanagan, SPA chief executive John Foley and civil servants faced a barrage of questions.
On the HMICS letter, SNP MSP Alex Neil said: "Every board member under the guidelines and under statute is entitled to know what the Chief Inspector of Constabulary is saying.
"These are very substantive points, very critical of the governance review in many respects."
He added: "This is not the Kremlin you are running, it is supposed to be an open public body, accountable ... you are accountable to the board members."
Labour MSP Jackie Baillie said there was a "culture of secrecy" within the SPA, while Conservative MSP Ross Thomson suggested the organisation was "not fit for purpose" and asked if Mr Flanagan had "thought about his position at all".
On his failure to share the letter, Mr Flanagan said: "I think because the issues had been well-trailed, they had been well-known. I didn't think it was necessary to circulate the letter itself."
Mr Flanagan said he had not considered his position as chair, adding: "I believe that I am doing an effective job."
After the bruising session, Flanagan quickly announced a rethink of private committee meetings: "I am committed to ensuring that the points made and issues raised by MSPs in today's Public Audit and Post Legislative Scrutiny committee session, and those of other key stakeholders, are considered by the full SPA board at the earliest public opportunity.
"As Chair, I will be recommending to the board an early change to our framework to allow the various committee chairs the discretion to hold all or part of future SPA committees in public."
Mr Matheson said: "Openness and transparency are of the utmost importance to a public body such as the SPA so I welcome the proposed changes to their approach to committee meetings.
"However, given the level of interest in these matters I am seeking further assurance that all that can be done is being done.
"That is why I have written to HMICS asking them to bring forward part of their planned statutory inspection into the operation of the Authority, scheduled for later this year, which relates to transparency. I look forward to receiving their findings in due course."
Following yesterday's Holyrood session, the committee has also invited Ms Ali and Brian Barbour - who told the Herald he quit the SPA board over SNP Government interference - to give oral evidence.
Labour MSP Claire Baker said: "The SPA's shambolic committee appearance will do nothing to reduce fears that they are an ineffective body in need of drastic overhaul."

The 'Tickets @ 2' song of the day to listen for between two and three is "Tonight's The Night" by Rod Stewart, a #1 hit from 1976.
It was never released as a single in England because it was banned on British radio stations due to suggestive lyrics. Stewart's girlfriend at the time was Swedish actress Britt Ekland.
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section played on the hit. They were four musicians who started their own studio – Muscle Shoals Sound, after working out of Fame studios for Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, and many others.
If your caller #7 at 1-800-232-KRTH (5784) you'll win a pair of tickets to see Stephanie Mills sing at Club Nokia September 15th.

A sticky situation: Box Brown on the "COEXIST" bumper sticker and its enemies
How can a harmless, feel-good bumper sticker get people so riled up? That's what Box Brown sets out to explain with his webcomic "To Exist," which traces the history of the "COEXIST" bumper sticker. Famous or infamous, depending on your political leanings and/or feelings about sloganeering, the sticker cobbles the word "Coexist" out of symbols for major world religions and has a tendency to spur some religious and political conservatives to paroxysms of conspiratorial rage, as you can see in the excerpt above starring Representative-Elect Allen West.
In addition to cataloging some of the more outlandish reactions to the sticker, Brown also traces its origin to the work of Polish designer Piotr Miodozeniec; the version you've likely seen is an unauthorized knockoff, making "COEXIST" the "Calvin Peeing" of the bleeding-heart set. Brown also advances some theories about why people would answer the equivalent of "Can't we all just get along?" with such a resoundingly angry "NO!", all while working through what looks to me like a pretty heavy Seth influence. Read the whole thing.

More of a PVP player? We can help you out there, too.
Maybe you're looking for a more "high level" overview of Battleborn? Then try our "Bootcamp" trailer:
Like what you see here? There's plenty more where that came from on the Battleborn YouTube channel!
For reference, these numbers stretch from November 11th to November 13th:
Minions killed: 6,016,923
Thrall killed: 8,499,166
Legendaries awarded: 22,206
Most common legendary: Arcship Raider's Wrench (3,018)
Toby's Friendship Raid:
Sad there are no fixes tho.
I guess the major update will include the gear overhaul(?).
An incoming update? Nice
Ugh! I dont want to wait an other week ;-;
WOW such a disappointment. Looks like Titanfall 2 free weekend will get my attention.. Shame no fixes or relevant news
Next time try reading the battleplan with your glasses on.
6 of those were mine.
Slow week this week points to big week next week.
Pretty sure these were all me, at least the PvP ones anyway.
Another patch eh? So long as you're rolling out major nerfs and no more buffs I'll be happy. I'll be happy anyway, but there are some particular characters who kinda sorta need slight tweaks.. OH, will we poor Aussies be getting the option to region lock to an Oceania server? We love our red bars and all, but we'd like to not lag at least once a week
Dangling carrot isnt a good thing, one could say that it leans towards a last minute scramble or lack of general direction especially when you promoted the Dec 1st battleplan as you were taking 2 weeks off...
I hope the next update is really big. I haven't played any Battleborn for a little while since Pokemon came out, but I'm definitely starting to crave it again.
Two slow weeks actually, so I hope "big week next week" means something will actually happen next week rather than another announcement and a third slow week.
Here's hoping that a Gear Overhaul will be part of the next major Patch. I'm tired of NOT using the 100+ Pieces of Legendary Gear I have accumulated with so much frustration and love.
I didn't expect much this week, so I'm not disappointed with the lack of...well...anything.
Usually they announce the upcoming patch a week or so in advance, so I don't expect the patch to drop next week. So...we may well be looking at a 3rd "slow week" in a row.
Lore! Where is the lore!!!! You sir dont have a "like" untill i get the lore of this week!! Something about Queen and king mike would be spreciated.
Edit: could we have a montana skin with cereal in his face? Name it champion's breakfast
Agreed Carrot dangling even more and then wait for this... its Christmas time and nothing till Mid January.....
No way, we're definitely getting xmas skins. Santa Kleese and Sexy Santa's Little Helper Boldur.
I didn't expect anything this month due to the holidays coming up, so this is actually a pleasant surprise for me.
HA! they missed the Halloween boat, while Overwatch didnt… Thanksgiving was well… decent compared to nothing… I bet all we get is Fruitcake and not the cool skins you and everyone knows they should have ready…
Dont foget Reyna as Mrs, Claus, Melka and THorn sexy little elfs. Kelvin as a snowman. Marquis as a nutcracker… eh I can go on and on… Ideas for Free…?
No! Delet your post! Dont give them ideas to make me spend !! I cant! Not for a while!!
If they do it or something similar, ill make you responsable of my economy D: (jk i would buy it anyway .-. im weak)

In the past decade few have worked harder to rehabilitate the filmic costume drama than British director Joe Wright.
Pride And Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007), both starring his muse Keira Knightley, brought cinematic flair to a form that often puts too much emphasis on big skirts and posh accents.
Wright must have been keenly aware that Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel Anna Karenina has been adapted to film at least a dozen times, so he and his screenwriter, playwright Tom Stoppard, have come up with a daring visual approach.
They unfold this story of infidelity in Czarist Russia mostly within one giant theatre set, emphasising that Anna and Vronsky's affair finds an attentive audience in all of St Petersburg society.
Knightley isn't everyone's cup of tea, but she makes a fine Anna Karenina because she's both sophisticated and girlish.
Anna is married to an upright politician, Karenin (Jude Law), but is swept away by the dashing soldier Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Taylor-Johnson, blond hair, sapphire-blue eyes burning with lust, is well cast as an object of erotic fascination.
Anna's fate is sealed in a sumptuous ballroom scene where she dances with Vronsky and the couples around them first freeze then vanish. They've ceased to be consequential to her.
Anna's tragedy is balanced against the story of young landowner Levin (Domhnall Gleeson), best friend of Anna's scoundrel brother Oblonsky (Matthew Macfadyen), who is infatuated with flighty teenager Kitty (Alicia Vikander).
Did the world need another Anna Karenina? Probably not, but this inventive production, elegantly stage-managed, beautifully acted, romantic and witty, offers plenty of bang for your movie buck.
Opens Thursday

Generating Keys
It's been just under a month since I've updated the Managed StrongName API, so here's the next set of APIs. This time, I've setup the APIs needed to create a new key suitable for signing. Namely, these are the StrongNameKeyGen and (for Whidbey) StrongNameKeyGenEx APIs. Both APIs work the same way, so I'll describe the newer StrongNameKeyGenEx API, which only adds an extra parameter from the old StrongNameKeyGen version. To start with, lets look at the P/Invoke declaration, from MS.StrongName\Native\NativeMethods.cs:
The parameters for StrongNameKeyGenEx work out as follows:
|Name of the key container to store the key in, can be null if passing no flags to dwFlags
|A member of the StrongNameKeyGenFlags enumeration. The only interesting member is LeaveKey which will not remove the generated key from its key container upon return from the API
|This is available in StrongNameKeyGenEx only, and specifies the size in bits of the key to generate. StrongNameKeyGen defaults this to 1024.
|Generated key blob
|Size in bytes of the generated blob
StrongNameKeyGenerationEx introduces the dwKeySize parameter, which allows you to generate keys of various sizes. However, .NET versions 1.0 and 1.1 will only sign with 1024 bit keys. Whidbey adds support for signing with 2048 bit keys. Both APIs return true if the key was successfully generated, and false if there was an error.
Since there is only a true / false return code, getting more information on error conditions is accomplished through the use of the StrongNameErrorInfo API, whose declaration can be found in MS.StrongName\Native\NativeMethods.cs. The return value from this function is an HRESULT, which can be translated into an Exception through the use of the Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR, or on Whidbey Marshal.GetExceptionForHR APIs. This is shown in MS.StrongName\Utility.cs
Once you've gotten the key back from StrongNameKeyGenerationEx, you need to copy it into a managed byte array. This can be done with the Marshal.Copy method. However, this still leaves unmanaged memory allocated to your process. In order to release this memory, another P/Invoke declaration from MS.StrongName\Native\NativeMethods.cs is used. StrongNameFreeBuffer simply takes a pointer to the memory that StrongNameKeyGen(Ex) returned to you, and releases it.
Making a key file out of the resulting byte array is very easy. Since snk files are simply raw dumps of the key information needed to sign an assembly, simply writing the byte array out to a file will result in a usable .snk file.
This entire process can be found in the MS.StrongName.Keys::GenerateKeyPair method in MS.StrongName\Keys.cs. Boiled down to the essentials, with error checking removed, the process looks similar to the following:
/// Generate a key and write it to a file
/// </summary>
/// <param name="keysize">size, in bits, of the key to generate</param>
/// <param name="filename">name of the file to write to</param>
/// <returns>true if the operation succeeded, false otherwise</returns>
private static bool GenerateKey(uint keysize, string filename)
// variables that hold the unmanaged key
IntPtr keyBlob = IntPtr.Zero;
long generatedSize = 0;
// create the key
bool createdKey = StrongName.Native.Generation.StrongNameKeyGenEx(null,
StrongName.Native.StrongNameKeyGenFlags.None, (int)keysize,
out keyBlob, out generatedSize);
// if there was a problem, translate it and report it
if(!createdKey || keyBlob == IntPtr.Zero)
Exception error = Marshal.GetExceptionForHR(Utility.StrongNameErrorInfo());
Console.WriteLine("Error generating key: {0}", error.Message);
return false;
Debug.Assert(keyBlob != IntPtr.Zero);
// make sure the key size makes sense
Debug.Assert(generatedSize > 0 && generatedSize <= Int32.MaxValue);
if(generatedSize <= 0 || generatedSize > Int32.MaxValue)
Console.WriteLine("Error while generating key");
return false;
// get the key into managed memory
byte[] key = new byte[generatedSize];
Marshal.Copy(keyBlob, key, 0, (int)generatedSize);
// write the key to the specified file
using(FileStream snkStream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
using(BinaryWriter snkWriter = new BinaryWriter(snkStream))
// release the unmanaged memory the key resides in
if(keyBlob != IntPtr.Zero)
// everything is written ok
return true;
Changes to the Managed StrongName project
I've made quite a few changes to the managed strong name files this time around. The biggest change was my decision to drop support for building the tool under v1.1 of the framework as well as Whidbey. Most of the P/Invoke declarations will still work, but there were going to be enough difference in the msn.exe tool itself, that I didn't feel like it justified creating all the differences. The biggest fallout from this is that classes that used to be sealed with a private constructor are now all static classes. In addition, the expanded capabilities of the Console and String classes are used. The complete change list is:
- StrongName.Native\Verification.cs
- removed the private constructor and made into static class
- msn\msn.cs
- added the -k mode
- removed the private constructor and made into a static class
- added an extra blank line of output in the output of msn
- converted String.Length == 0 checks into String.IsNullOrEmpty calls
- always use Console.WindowWidth to figure out the size of the output
- msn\msn.resx
- added extra resources to support key generation
- msn\Verification.cs
- removed the private constructor and made into a static class
- StrongName.Native\Generation.cs - P/Invoke declarations for StrongNameKeyGen and StrongNameKeyGenEx
- StrongName.Native\Utility.cs - P/Invoke declarations for StrongNameFreeBuffer and StrongNameErrorInfo
- msn\Generation.cs - Implementation of the -k option to msn, to allow for keys to be generated

|Two-Piece Pyjama Sets
Made with matching tops and bottoms, two-piece pyjama sets keep girls comfortable and warm while sleeping. There are many options with two-piece pyjama sets, including sets with long sleeves and pants, short sets with short-sleeved tops, and sets with tank tops and pants. Matching pyjama sets offer a wide variety of design options, from basic solid colour sets such as blue or purple, to graphic designs like hearts, flowers, and stripes. For young girls, patterns are popular, such as plaid, animals such as cats, frogs, or penguins, or storybook characters like Peppa Pig or Pooh Bear. The two-piece pyjama sets come in sizes from age 4 and up, and come in different brands like Disney and Marks and Spencer.
|Three-Piece Pyjama Sets
What is special about three-piece pyjama sets is the extra piece. The sets typically consist of two pieces such as a pyjama top and bottoms, or shorts and a top. The third piece is sometimes a different matching shirt to wear with the bottoms, shorts for warmer weather which complement the pyjama top, or a matching robe. Other three-piece pyjama sets for young girls include something fun like a matching tulle tutu to go over the pyjama pants, matching socks, or a hoodie to slip over a pyjama tank top. This keeps girls warm in cold temperatures or makes the set perfect for loungewear during the day.
|Footed Pyjamas
Created to keep girls' feet warm in winter, footed pyjamas generally cover the feet, legs, and arms, and zip up in the front. Made of soft, plush fleece fabric, footed pyjamas sometimes come with hoods and fit kids up to size 16. Some of the designs available include animal print pyjamas, characters like Dora the Explorer, and graphic designs such as stripes, polka dots, skulls, paw prints, and animals like dinosaurs and tigers. Some popular footie pyjama brands include Disney, Marvel, and Primark. Kids wear their favourite superheroes or animals, and footed pyjamas typically have skid-proof rubber treads on the bottom to keep them slip resistant for small children.
The difference between onesies and footed pyjamas is that while onesies do cover the legs and arms similar to footed pyjamas, they leave the feet open and uncovered. This makes it easier for kids to move around in their pyjamas. Some of the most popular types of onesies include animal prints with hoodies, character prints such as Hello Kitty, and even onesies depicting kids' favourite bands, like One Direction. Made of comfortable cotton or thicker fleece, onesies come covered with hearts, in graphic prints like snowflakes, stripes, and clouds, or simple stars or animals. Primark and Disney make onesies for girls of all ages, and onesies have either a zipper closure or buttons up the front.
|Pyjama Legging Sets
Made with tight fitting leggings and a loose sleep shirt, pyjama leggings sets are cute and comfortable for young girls. Sets come with a soft long-sleeved or short-sleeved pyjama top with matching leggings. Some popular styles include animal patterns from Primark, characters like Minnie Mouse, and cute prints with fairies, puppies, flowers, or teddy bears. Special leggings sets for holidays come with prints for the season, and there are also popular pyjama sets featuring bands, sports teams, and Barbie. Legging sets are affordable and sometimes come in a lot more than one set for mixing and matching purposes.

Darwin Festival review: Constantina Bush
Constantina Bush is not afraid to push the boundaries. This flamboyant Aboriginal drag queen and her 'Bushettes' bring stories of an epic journey from the Northern Territory to Melbourne, in their Darwin Festival Show: That's the Way Life Goes.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Constantina is crass and crude, but is also full of sass and attitude.
She hugs the limelight, slapping her back-up Bushette dancers when they come close to upstaging her, and she frequently makes explicit passes at nearby audience members.
The crowd roars with laughter and fondly responds to her borderline jokes with the occasional "You're evil!".
The humour seemed to resonate so strongly with the audience, one could only assume Constantina has earned a rapport and reputation within Darwin that allows her to push the boundaries.
Her demeanour - totally unaffected by her own jokes - was similar to that of Kim from Kath and Kim, and so too was the feigned ignorance to her own inappropriateness.
Her vocal range is stunning, occasionally dropping two octaves below the expected note in popular songs she sings.
No less spectacular are the Bushettes, whose dancing does eventually have one solid opportunity to feature stage-front during the show.
There is a random side act which felt a little unexplained and I later learnt this was drag queen Miss Ellaneous, aptly named so.
And of course, it wouldn't be a real drag show without a bit of Beyonce, sung in black leotard costumes with sequined Aboriginal flags.
Constantina Bush and the Bushettes may not be for everyone, but for any drag fan, it's sure to impress.

text: Over the weekend my gf and I were able to acquire a mercatoris (we think). We currently have her in a 5.5gal tank (we're still in the process of octo-proofing our 50gal tank). We named her Ossie. She's quite small I think her legs are about 2-3 inches and her head 1.5" - 2". We are feeding her ghost shrimp, and hermit crabs, and oh boy is she eating! When we first put her in the tank, she gobbled two ghost shrimp and one crab. I didn't see her much on Sunday (she has found a "comfy" den in on of the living rocks), but I stayed up last night with a mock infra-red flashlight, and was able to witness her hunting. We had just put four snails in the tank to help with cleaning, and we're assuming she ate one, as we have only been able to find three. Last night she ate one crab, it was so cute, she carried it back to her rock, and tried very hard to get it, shell and all, to squeeze into the hole that she migrates through. She came out about 3-5mins after we had turned out the lights, and didn't seem bothered by my flashlight. I tried to get a picture of her, but not wanting to startle her I didn't turn the flash on, and was unable to capture her on film due to the lack of light. I hope to get a shot of her one of these days. Anyway, to get to my reason for posting. We have been reading up on the care of octo's and have learned quite a bit. For one we need to hurry up with getting our 50 gal ready, and get her some toys so that she will be able to tease her brain. We've been testing the water every day, some times twice a day and are planning on doing a water change this upcoming weekend, if not sooner. The results of our testing have been relatively the same: temp.: 70-75 degrees fahrenheit saltinity: normal (I can't remember what the number was) ph: 8.0 alkalinity: normal I was concerned about our ph being on the low end, as I've been reading optimum is 8.4, so we tried using a buffer, which raised the ph to 8.4 and the alkalinity to high. Eight hours later we tested it again, and the ph was back to 8.0, but the alkalinity was still at high. I don't want to use the buffer again, because I'm afraid of what the high alkalinity means. Hence why I'm posting, how can we get the ph up, and the alkalinity down to normal again? Ossie seems to be all right, as I said last night was the first night I really got to see her. We have hermit crabs in the tank with her and they seem to be thriving, though dwindling in numbers, yet thriving just the same. She is eating, one average (at least what I witness) she's eating about 2 ghost shrimp (these we provide at the same time every day) and one crab. I have to admit that when we wake up there is a dramatic decrease in the activity in the tank, which I'm attributing to Ossie's late night hunting.

hello guys! am about to open a photo studio but my capital is too limited. Then could you help me in any way?
You can borrow money (it costs A LOT) and there is always risk involved - You can save the money to get started - you can start very small - little more than a hobby and move into a business when you have enough customers and work to make it viable -
It's not just having the basic equipment - some of which you may be able to put off until you need it. it a matter of being able to keep going whilst the business builds.
From a business point of view Try leasing, try to totally avoid anything you don't totally have to have.
Think about how your customers will view your business if it is a ramshackle - home made - bits of sticks and wood set up that looks neither professional or capable - No matter how good your photography ability your NOT going to impress potential customers.
Good products - Good final outcome - Well presented - Smart appearance - The willingness and ability to talk to people and sell your product - Understanding your market place - Understanding your customers -advertising - The right price (that may not mean cheapest) - 150% effort to make it work
All add up to a successful business
The business I started in 1989 ran successfully for 20 years and only closed this year so we could all retire.
Business training/advice is important, as at the end of the day you have to make a living. Getting started will always be slow because expenses are high and income is low. Work cheap or free at the beginning to get your portfolio built up. At the end of the day, make sure you're spending less money than you're making. If you're not making any money, you'd better get creative with materials and costs.
Use a flickr, picasa, or deviantart free account to show your work. When you get built up, open a website -- there are lots of website-in-a-box sites that will set you up with a domain name and technology to help with business. I recommend Smugmug (smugmug.com) -- you upload your photos, and they sell them in print or calendar/mug/shirt etc form -- with a pro account you set the prices etc. "do a photoshoot, upload pics, direct your client to use the website to order prints".
Hope that helps!

Giggle I can see the photo but small on my phone. Very cute
23-11-2011 15:16 #553
Thanks Mummylip, I already knew pretty much what was wrong but having it written down in front of me is a bit different. Im still trying to understand how he came to have such serious health problems. Josh didnt have any genetic abnormalities. Im actually feeling relieved that it didnt contain something that the pathologist neglected to tell me that would impact this pregnancy. Hopefully this baby will be ok

23-11-2011 15:49 #555
MummyLip - Great levels!!! Congratulations!! I knew they would be good based on your nausea and HPT... That's really awesome! Does that make you feel happier?
Giggle - so glad you had a really great scan today and all went well with your doc! How was your little wriggler in there today?
Not long til your 12wk scan now...
I'm sorry you got Josh's results today That must have really hurt your heart to read even though you knew the results already... *hug*
I am hoping and praying with all my heart that this bub is healthy and perfect for you. You've been through enough and deserve a bub to cuddle and love on this earth.
AFM - interview went really well this morning... The recruiter is confident that we should receive an offer through in the next day or two!!
I'm starting to get really excited about my 12wk scan next Tuesday!!!
23-11-2011 15:59 #556
Rach and Mummylip- both those numbers seem great for dates to me- dont't judge yours by Angelski because hers are insanely high! I didn't get mine done till I was 5 + 3 and I think off the top of my head they were 8700? Not sure by this stage. All new things to worry about and obsess over by now
Mummylip- reassuring as it can be, I'm hoping your MS stops at nausea and that your boobies get happy We all obsess way too much over symptoms!
Graciesmummy- I'm stoked you've told your parents but still can't forgive them for giving you even the eensiest bit of a negative reaction. Selfish much? Siblings are such a blessing, despite the countless clashes you have with them growing up. I would never want to deprive my kids of the bond I enjoy with my brother and sister. It's just so good to have someone who GETS it. As for tummy sleeping, I was asking my mum about it the other day (travelling with no baby books and scarce internet!). My understanding is it's fine as long as it's comfortable. My already cushy belly is making Sprout pretty comfy still for now- lots of pillowiness around the wombish area
Ja- it's hard for me to believe where we've gotten to as well! The first 10 weeks seemed to take forever, now it's flying by. I agree about the sent to bubby- I'm trying to do the same thing and succeeding for the most part. Hope you and your bump-to-be are getting some good quality time
Hopeful- are you sticking to the resort? I considered Bali but too tempting to eat overly-adventurous food and go diving. Not that I'd do it- just suffer terribly at the deprivation! Enjoy
Giggle- I'm glad you got to see your little passenger giving you a wave and hope it alleviates a little of the anxiety. I think coming to terms with the fact that Josh was just terribly unlucky might be harder than getting a reason but it means good things for this pregnancy. I'm sure he's barracking for you from wherever he is. Lots of to you x
Daisy- glad things are going swimmingly and hopefully getting ever cruisier as you race towards that 12 week mark
LPH- Sorry if you explained it before- I might have missed it. Are you having cancer treatment at the moment or are you in remission? Hope it doesn't pose any problems for you along the way with this pregnancy but sounds good that your oncologist is thinking about taking the best care of you and saving you from alarmist local hospitals I would LOVE to home birth but there's so many problems with doing it in Australia. I think if I was in the UK where it's supported and they have specialist neonatal ambulances I'd go for it for sure. There's just too many risks for me in the end. I ended up choosing a midwifery program that discharge you in the first 24 hours as the next best option
AFM- home Sunday. Very relaxing day today. Having lovely one on one time with DH (although very little BDing as he's doing the Movember thing and I can't take the mo anywhere near me!).
to all I've missed!
23-11-2011 16:08 #557
Hi everyone thanks so much for your replies and supports: I'm bordering on meltdown every 5 seconds but also trying to be positive! The numbers are better than one of my mc's but worse than my ectopic. Lol! Dont know what to think.
Can't talk to fs till Friday- receptionist just gave me the numbers. I need a new dr. So hard being isolated! So no idea if they are good or not. I kinda just want to sit tight till it's a good time for a scan to check bubs.... Is that super neglectful of the pregnancy???
It's ridiculous, I'm peeing on sticks every five seconds! Sorry to lean on you all so much

The only diff is if you have done a FET the progesterone is always lower!

Hello all you lovely chatty ladies.
Lot sof hcg results to analyse and think over today :-) The main thing to remember is that every pregnancy is different and there is a huge range of what is a 'normal' result. The thing docs areally looking for is that rise in hcg over the 48 hr time frame. So yeah add two more days of waiting to the waiting you are already doing.
Glad to hear job interview went well GraciesMum. God luck on hearing from them soon with an offer.
WOP- hilarious that dh isn't getting much action due to his Movember efforts. I do agree though. I nagged my DH to grow a goatee on a 3 week holiday and the results were quite frankly yuk and it grew in ginger which was worse. so no facial hair for me kida gal here
Nice levels MummyLip- did you have a little sigh of releif?
Rach85- Keeping a lid on things for another week or so is not a neglectful thing for you to be doing for this little one. I feel that for mums that have felt how much a loss can hurt there is always going to be a degree of self protection going on to spare your still hurting heart more pain. Don't feel bad about needing to do that- there is plenty of time to let the feelings of happiness and anticipation in and send bub all the good vibes you can muster. We are always here for a chat whenever you need.
No emoticons today. computer says noo

Rach - We are all here to support each other and to lean on each other when we are having bad days, that's the joy of a group like this... we all TOTALLY understand the fears and emotions and exactly where you are coming from. In fact, every couple of days i have a mini freak out myself and convince myself that something is wrong. I think we all do!
Your levels look perfectly normal and fine to me. There is not much you can do at the moment other than just sit back and hope for the best and send bub lots of sticky healthy positive vibes Are you going to book in for a follow up blood test to put your mind at rest that your levels are rising nicely?
WOP - Poor DH... but i totally agree, my DH did Movember a few years ago and it was horrendously ugly. I couldn't stand him anywhere near me... i felt like i was kissing a 70's porn star!
So how was your trip to NZ? Other than being rear ended...
Thank you so much for your support with the reaction from my parents, i really appreciate all your kind words. I always wanted a sibling growing up and was very lonely at times. Even though Gracie has a half sister in my DSD i think it's nice to add another sibling closer in age to the mix. Plus lots of kids around makes Christmas time so much fun!! This baby will be our last (probably.. ) so after our 12wk scan i am really going to make the effort just to relax and enjoy this pregnancy and each milestone and little kick.
Ja - How are you travelling along hun? Any more comments from DD about the baby in your tummy? That 6th sense is amazing isn't it..
I see your DD is nearly 3 - isn't it such a great age! Grace turned 3 in October and i am just absolutely totally in love with my little girl... she just lights up my heart each and every day and is just so cuddly and kissable. I am getting in as many snuggles as i can before its no longer 'cool'!
I'm really going to miss our 'Mummy/Gracie' days when i go back to work

Pagani Huayra Pearl One-Off version
Submitted by Dan Buzdugan on Thu, 05/05/2016 - 05:29
"The Pagani Huayra Pearl, 1 of 1, sets new standards in terms of custom built. It is the result of a combination between art and science, design and technology, form and function. It is the very first example of a custom made Huayra specifically built for one customer." - this is a short description of the One Off Huayra Pearl.
The changes that set the car apart from the usual models, is the roof scoop, the splited spoiler and an active diffuser for the rear.
Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
Submitted by Dan Buzdugan on Wed, 02/26/2014 - 13:10
Jaguar has revealed the Sportbrake version of the XFR-S, that's insane, really, beacuse you get the same 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine delivering 542 bhp and 680 Nm, capable of travelling from 0-100km.h in 4.6s - because kid's car sick is totaly over-rated.

Infiniti Supercar
Submitted by Dan Youn on Mon, 08/12/2013 - 13:36
It looks like Infiniti will be joining the supercar race. A report states that Infiniti's very own supercar will be available by 2017 or 2018. This could partially be due to the fact that Sebastian Vettel, three time F1 champion, is now the Director of Performance for Infiniti. The making of a new supercar will give Infiniti a large advantage if they involve themselves in racing.
Not much information about the car has been released, but we can safely assume that many of the car's components will be influenced by the previous concepts, the Essence and the Emerg-E.
Check out the pictures of the Essence and Emerg-E below to imagine how the supercar will look like in the future.

Lamborghini Veneno - Lamborghini 50th Anniversary
Submitted by Dan Buzdugan on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 02:36
We all knew that Lamborghini was working on a special 50th anniversary model, but we thought it might be the last Gallardo, or maybe the SV version of the Aventador.
But this, this is beyond expectations, information is short, but all over the internet, there were new images popping with it. First leaked in a magazine, then the photo has been swiftly removed, more appeared.
Pagani Zonda R by Matthew Law
Submitted by Matthew Law on Tue, 09/18/2012 - 01:03
Here's a project I completed today - Pagani Zonda R customized by yours truly. First, you'll notice a lot of the decals have been removed to keep the body clean. Second, the wheels have been swapped out for ADV10.01SL lightweight series wheels, finished in metallic gloss bronze. The wheels are 20" in the front and 21" in the rear wrapped in of course, custom tires. As opposed to the naked carbon fiber, the body was finished in gloss black, making it simply sinister. Less talk, more pictures, enjoy!
