My stupid ovaries(9 Posts)
Sorry, I need to vent.
I have pcos and two lovely children conceived with clomid. I would really love a third but know this is about 99.9% unlikely without clomid again. My husband isn't wildly keen on the idea of a third but says he's willing to discuss it again at Christmas and if it happened it would not be the worst thing ever. You know what I mean. Men!
Anyhoooo, my good friend has just told me she is pregnant, and it was a total surprise. She had a horrendous pregnancy with her second, delivered very early, both nearly died and there have been various health issues ever since and the child is now almost five.
My issue here is that I guess a large part of me is massively jealous that she has got pregnant by surprise, as I know that this will never happen to me and I so want to be pregnant and have another child. Obviously I realise I am incredibly lucky to have two such healthy fantabulous children already.
Shes really really suffering with sickness and seems to be telling the world and his wife about it.
I want to shout at her that she effing lucky to just fall pregnant and please just shut up about how terrible you are feeling, while so many would love to feeling tht shit if it meant there was a much tried for baby inside.
I'm trying to be very supportive, I even offered to clean her house because she can't easily do it, but I'm really struggling with my emotions over this one.
Sorry that was a bit rambly, I'm just a bit of a mess. And if one more friend tells me they are pregnant I think I'm going to tear their head off. Which might not go down well.
Whilst I understand that jealousy is hard to control, you mention that your friend and her child nearly died during her last pregnancy. That's quite something to go through and I can't imagine that this pregnancy won't be without significant anxiety about similar happening again. It may also be the reason why they weren't actually trying for a third...
I don't want this to read like a lecture, but sometimes it helps to think of the other point of view.
Yes I totally get that, I don't ready our comment like a lecture at all, and a massive part of my brain thinks that given what they went through before they we pretty foolish to not actively prevent another pregnancy. But it was their choice to run that risk and I try to respect that.
I know she's desperately worried and won't be any less so until it's in her arms but I just wish she would be just a little bit more sensitive when moaning about 'this little f£&cker' and telling me the gory details of her violent sickness etc. When she knows what a hard time I had getting pregnant. She doesn't know I want a third and there's no need or point for me to tell her.
Why do I always attract friends who need so much support when I'm so pants at actually giving support without messing my brain up?! Do I have a sign above my head??
Hang on, your friend doesn't know you want a third...so how do you expect her to be sensitive about it?! Is she a mind reader?!
Let me repeat that...she doesn't know you want another child! She only knows that she is pregnant and is probably shit scared by it that she is confiding in her friend. If you don't tell her you want a third child how is she supposed to be sensitive about something she doesn't know?!
Unfortunately people who haven't experienced infertility can be very insensitive without even realising it. It's just one of those things- people are often self absorbed and don't put themselves in others" shoes.
However it does sound like your friend had a terrible time before. She's probably envious of others who have had a normal, stress free birth.
I do know first hand it can be hard to hear about pregnancy when you are trying and it's not happening for you. Hope u can find a way through it. I do think it's not helpful to compare your life to others. We all do it though!
That sounds so hard for you. The thing to try to remember is that it isn't zero sum. In the same way that it wouldn't be fair to have your struggle with your own fertility diminished on the basis of your already having children, her having been blessed with pregnancy by surprise as you'd like to be doesn't make her any less ill or fed up, especially given her history. But I completely understand why you're feeling the way you do. Could you talk to her about your feelings about a third child?
Mehmeh, I don't expect her to be sensitive to me especially since she doesn't know about my desire for a third, just to the general people who struggle to conceive. I probably didn't explain that part very well.
Yes sleepachu, you are totally correct. I imagine it's really horrible being sick all the time and having a tough pregnancy. I'm fortunate that although I don't conceive naturally, I seem to have amazing pregnancies and post partsmaster recoveries. I bet if you a feeling rough all the time you actually couldn't give a rat's ass about most other people.
I just wanted a rant really, there is no solution. I'm pretty good at seeing from other people's point of view. I can't rant at my husband because he thinks the friend in question is a proper nut job and would quite merrily suggest I just steer clear of her!
Oh right...in that case most people who haven't experienced infertility haven't got a fucking clue about how miserable it is. I've had my closest friends make some really dumb comments.
That won't change, you just have to change how you react (either tell them directly or ditch them!)
I just wish I wasn't such a sensitive soul! And I wish more that I could just let things wash over me but I completely can't and just stew inside. Maybe that's why my ovaries don't work; I've stewed them in worry!

Tiger Woods insists he is "trying everything" to be able to play at the Masters at Augusta National next month.
Woods has not featured at a competitive event since a back injury forced him to withdraw from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic before the start of his second round on February 3.
But the 41-year-old, who has won the Masters on four occasions, is hoping to return in time for the first major championship of the year, which begins on April 6.
When asked whether he thinks he will get a chance to play at the Masters this year, Woods told Good Morning America: "God, I hope so.
"I'm trying. I'm trying everything extra to be able to get back and play.
"I love that event. It's meant so much to me in my life. It was the first major that I ever played, back in '95.
"It has so much history and meaning to me, I'd love to get back.
"I need to get back physically. I know that the mind is sharp, I just need to get the body willing to do it."

The Goonies! It is one of my all time favorites. Now I am curious about what she has on her list 🙂
Posted on October 2, 2015
Grow up?! NEVER! Watch movies? Always!
One of the best times here is MOVIE NIGHT! So, it was with great delight that I was able to chat with Suzette Vale, the author of the new, INTERACTIVE WORKBOOK (!) geared to kids (and big ones too..) called 101 Movies To See Before You Grow Up ! We love the book here and have been working our way through the movies on the list-and there are a bunch I've never seen-which floors me, because my one class in undergrad was almost a film appreciation class!
1.How did you choose the movies for the book?
Admittedly, narrowing the list to 101 movies was rather daunting! Logically, I started by asking my own grown kids to make a list of their favorite films. Of course, I didn't expect to see some of the films they listed: "Hercules," "The Emperor's New Groove," or "Pocahontas." All great films, of course, but it made me think that I needed a more formal strategy. After that, I researched lists of children's films that already exist: the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, the American Film Institute, the British Film Institute, and the National Film Registry. Cross-referencing the movies on these lists helped me reduce it from thousands to hundreds of movies. I also consulted websites and books by film critics I respect like the late Roger Ebert, Leonard Maltin and Nell Minow (Movie Mom). This all sounds a lot easier than it was. It took hours and hours of reading! Finally, I contacted Nell Minow and she graciously looked over the list and offered me her valuable opinion about it!
- Why are these movies so important to see before we "grow up?"
Not all the movies in this book are "important" per se, some are a significant part of our pop-culture, while other movies in the book are mainstream films that have a special place in our culture – merchandise, attractions, Halloween costumes, and some of the movies are even shown in classrooms. However, a movie like "Toy Story" is very important because it introduced us to the first full-length feature film entirely in CGI, and this film changed the animation industry forever!
- Define "grow up"
Becoming an adult at 18 is commonly held as the moment a child grows up. Then there are those, like Peter Pan, who refuse to grow up! Joking aside, watching these films through the eyes of a child allows the magic of these movies to take place. It's this aspect that we're trying to address with the term "grow up."
I hope the following anecdote will help illustrate my point.
I won't soon forget feeling awful after telling a 9-year-old boy that I had done a voice over for a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon. I showed him the short video of the cartoon first, and then I asked him if he knew that it was real people speaking in the cartoons. He looked at me with the biggest eyes and blank stare which told me he didn't know what I was talking about. So I showed him the video taken of me at the Nickelodeon Booth at Comic-Con this year. I stood with headphones and a microphone (talking as Michelangelo) with Rob Paulsen (who voices Donatello)standing next to me. Of course, after seeing both the humans and the cartoons saying and sounding the same, he got it. "How cool!" he said. And that made me feel better about spoiling his magic.
- When you were thinking about including documentaries, Why Super Size Me versus Bowling for Columbine? (Publisher is mentioned here)
It was simply due to the "R" rating of "Bowling for Columbine" that kept this and many other worthy films off the list; the publisher excluded all "R" rated films from the book. I also selected "Super Size Me" because the rate of obesity of children in this country is alarming, and I couldn't find a better way for kids to get the message about making better food choices than this film. I recall the day my daughter came home after watching this documentary in middle school and declared, "I'm never eating junk food again!" That was music to my home-cooking mom ears!
- We love that you included foreign films, such as Life is Beautiful and My Neighbor, Totoro. Was there any extra criteria to get a foreign language film on the list?
There are so many fantastic foreign films that I thought would be great for kids to see, but most of them are a little obscure in our culture. The foreign films I selected are, for the most part, award-wining foreign films that crossed over into American cinema. Limiting myself to these types of films also made the selection process more manageable. Imagine the bounty of films each country in the world has to offer! In reality, there are only a few films that are able to transcend borders and reach people in other parts of globe including the USA.
- You included some historically questionable movies on the list-like Pearl Harbor. Why? What was the reasoning behind a movie that was so widely critically panned for its historical inaccuracy being included in the book next to amazing Oscar winners?
101 Movies is not simply a list of award-winning films, though "Pearl Harbor" did win an Oscar. This book attempts to have a broad variety of movies which not only entertain, but also have some value in watching them. "Pearl Harbor" has inaccuracies, as many historical films tend to do, because filmmaker's are allowed some artistic liberties. Furthermore, this particular film was not billed as factual or as a historical account of this moment in time. But it does, however, offer a look into what it might have been like to be alive on that infamous day in history!
- The workbook format was really exciting! What was the thought behind making it more of a workbook style book versus a compendium/guide?
I wish I had come up with the idea for the interactive workbook, but I didn't. The publisher came up with the idea of making this an interactive book – which I thought was brilliant! I simply executed this aspect of the book according to the publisher's guidelines.
- The Co-Pilot was excited to see movies that I watched at his age. Was there an effort to have movies that parents may have loved at different ages pop up on the list? (I'm an 80's kid, so seeing The Karate Kid on the list-and the ORIGINAL version made me all giggly.)
I'm so glad that the Co-Pilot noticed that! Yes, of course I made an effort to give parents a chance to be cool for their kids. "The Karate Kid" is an iconic film, and for us 80s kids it taught us a thing or two. Speaking of learning, I was impressed to find out that Elisabeth Shue took time off her studies at Harvard to film this. She was LaRusso's girlfriend, Ali Mills, and it was her film debut!
Also, what's more 80s than John Hughes, right? "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" and "Pretty in Pink" also made the list! There are plenty of movies in this book you can introduce to your kids, and add your personal experience while watching with them. Oh, and please tell the Co-Pilot that like in "The Karate Kid," doing chores is a good thing. *wink*
- Which one of the 101 movies is your favorite, and why?
This is a tough question, and it's often asked. It's impossible for me to name a single favorite movie out of the 101 in this book. I can tell you that there's only a few I've watched several times because they're special or nostalgic for me: "Mary Poppins," "The Lion King," "Star Wars," "Aladdin," "Pride and Prejudice," "Harry Potter," and "Iron Man" have top-shelf billing in my home!
- Were there any movies you wanted to include, but didn't make the 101 cut?
There were many movies that had to be left for another possible book. "Hairspray" and "Grease" are good examples of films everyone loves, but didn't earn a page in the book. I'm sure you can name a few films that you think should be in this book, too, and you have your reasons for thinking they have merit. Movies do this to us. Some touch us deeply, while others may make us disagree over the point or the plot. But one thing is consistent about films: they let us escape from our reality for a couple of hours and introduce us to places, people and things we couldn't have imagined before watching them!
Thank you, Suzette for answering our questions and even making my 80's heart squee with gladness!
So. are you intrigued? This book is a lot of fun and the real deal! Want your own copy? Win one right here!
Here's what you do:
Leave a comment telling me the one movie you'd put on your 101 Movies list and why…and we'll pick a winner to receive their own copy on 10/9, just before the Co-Pilot and I leave for New York ComicCon!
13 Comments on "Grow up?! NEVER! Watch movies? Always!"
I LOVED Aladdin!! My kids haven't seen it yet, though, so I need to fix that! Can't wait to find out what else is on that list!
I am totally curious to see this list! I know it probably won't make the list but Lost Boys is one of my all time favorite movies. I don't really know why though. 🙂
My favorite movie is Yankee Doodle Dandy. I think a list like this is always going to be controversial – everyone is going to feel that something is missing.
I'd put Terms of Endearment on the list because it combines humor and sadness in the most exquisite way. It's a must-see!
My husband and I are huge movie fans, and I'm hoping my kids have a least made a dent in the list. I need to pick up the book to find out.
Awesome list! I personally love the movie ET!
Our family loves watching movies. We buy a lot of blu-rays and DVDs, due to not having cable. The more the merrier!
Thank you for the fun Q&A. You asked very good questions! I hope you'll enjoy watching the films on the list with the Co-Pilot — watching movies is some of the best family time I've had my kids, too. Suzette

Cheesepaste fools 8lb 12oz River Lea chub
ONE of the biggest chub of the season has been caught by Jake Davoile in the form of this 8lb 12oz specimen during only his second session on the River Lea.
In a trip the previous week, the Coventry-based fishery officer managed to land six fish to 6lb 10oz from the Hertfordshire waterway using cheesepaste and roving tactics.
He then returned to the venue a few days later and concentrated on the areas in which he had had bites from on his first session.
"I baited and fished several swims taking four fish to just over 4lb," said the 29-year-old. "On dark I headed to the swim where I'd caught the 6lb 10oz chub from.
"After 30 minutes of touch legering I felt a slight pull on my line. I struck into the bite and was met with incredible power as the fish did its best to find sanctuary among the various snags. I knew it was a very good fish but I held my own and played it very hard to keep it away from the hazards.
"Eventually it popped up in the margins and dropped in the net on the first time of asking. I literally went to bits when I turned on my headtorch and got a proper look at what I'd caught."
The fish, which beat his previous best for the species of 7lb 4oz, was caught with a piece of homemade cheesepaste moulded round a size 4 hook attached to 5lb Maxima mainline.
"I think the catch is going to take some time to properly sink in. I just keep saying 8lb 12oz in my head and grinning like a Cheshire cat," he added.

Several states are facing some tough fiscal times, says Byron Schlomach, director of the Center for Economic Prosperity at the Goldwater Institute.
For example:
- California's overspending problem amounts to more than $14 billion for the 2009 fiscal year.
- New Jersey's spending versus revenue gap could be $3.5 billion.
- Virginia and Massachusetts each face $1.2 billion gaps.
- Arizona's gap for 2009 is estimated at $1.7 billion.
Compared to California's fiscal problem, Arizona's looks like chump change. But here's "the rest of the story," says Schlomach:
- As a percentage of general revenue spending, Arizona's 2009 spending/revenue gap is 16 percent, the biggest of all the states.
- California's gap is 14 percent of its budget.
- New Jersey's is 11 percent.
- Arizona's spending/revenue gap for 2009 is 16 percent of the state's general fund spending.
Despite being a cool billion short on the current year's budget, Arizona's governor, Janet Napolitano (D), and some members of the legislature have proposed budget "cuts" that amount to leaving unspent funds unspent and vacant jobs vacant. Meanwhile, the governor's budget office is predicting future revenue growth almost equal to that of past boom times, even as experts say the state's economic recovery will be slow.
Indiana's governor, Mitch Daniels (R), recently called on state agencies to cut spending by 5 percent in response to a $231 million spending/revenue gap. Wisconsin's governor, Jim Doyle (D), ordered agencies to cut spending by $111 million.
Arizona is facing a billion dollar hole after double-digit percentage budget growth in four of the last five years and some of the state's policymakers can't bring themselves to cut spending by more than one-half of one percent ($100 million over two years). Delaying the inevitable will only make it that much more painful, says Schlomach.

Columbia Elementary Superintendent John Pendley is generously compensated - $166,000 a year - to make sound decisions, be a good steward of school district funds, respect open government and public access to school documents, and, most importantly, to create a safe learning environment for children.
Over the last 20 months, he's earned failing grades across the board. Through a series of deliberate missteps, he's put the interests of his son before those of students, parents and the taxpaying public.
For that, he must resign. Pendley first compromised the integrity of
the district's hiring practices when he participated in getting his
unqualified and reckless son a job as an after-school aide. His son
lacked qualifications, credentials and certifications required by
others in that position.
Brennan quickly abused the trust and responsibility his father had
placed in him by sexually exploiting a 15-year-old girl in his
classroom. For sending lewd text messages to the girl, and for having
illicit sex with her twice in his classroom, he was sentenced last
month to a year in jail plus eight years probation.
Note: The crime scene was his after-school classroom on the Columbia campus.
In the days following Brennan's resignation from Columbia amidst
charges of inappropriate behavior, he was given another job at a second
campus overseen by his father.
While he was rewarded with this opportunity, his victim, Jane Doe,
was relegated to the school's "focus room" - an in-school detention
How is this? Had John Pendley and his administrators already determined the relative innocence and guilt of those two?
Beyond that, what should taxpayers think of a superintendent who
uses his schools as a family employment agency? Nepotism, when
practiced by those at the pinnacle of power at a public institution,
can have a corrupting influence on the culture of an organization.
In this case, John Pendley's actions backfired wildly.
After sheriff's deputies arrived on campus May 10 to question
Brennan Pendley, efforts focused on "damage control" began at Columbia.
A few board members say John Pendley stood admirably on the
sidelines - which is difficult to believe given his involvement in so
much of what happened before and after the arrest of his son.
One piece of said campaign was a district "internal investigation."
The lame, one-day investigation by the school principal and school
counselor involved just three interviews - Brennan Pendley, the victim
and another student. It was a hastily written, one-page report.
The district's investigation found there was no serious wrongdoing
by Brennan on campus. It also failed to ask deeper questions: How well
was Brennan Pendley being supervised? Had any staff or faculty heard
but failed to report rumors about the girl's alleged sexual encounters
with older men? The latter could trigger the state's mandatory
reporting law, which requires school employees to call law enforcement
when they suspect child abuse.
No, the district says, no one knew anything. Yet, in his parting
words, Brennan Pendley lamented the "constant emotional stress" he was
under due to campus rumors about his alleged sexual activity.
The pro forma investigation wasn't the district's only attempt to
contain the damage. District officials refused several legitimate
requests for the release of public records, only to have their hands
forced by this newspaper.
John Pendley continued to influence the thinking and actions of his subordinates even after his son admitted guilt.
Court record show Pendley "asked" at least a few Columbia employees
to write letters to Tuolumne County Superior Court Judge James Boscoe
urging leniency for his son - at that point convicted of a sex offense
on the school campus.
A shameful, common thread in those letters and a handful of others:
Brennan Pendley, 23, was the victim and his student, Jane Doe 15, the instigator.
This orchestrated smokescreen, shifting the blame to Jane Doe is
totally outrageous. The background of a troubled, at-risk 15-year old
is of no consequence. She is a minor. A handful of the letter writers
claimed the sexual activity was "consensual." Yet the state of
California says that no minor can consent to having sex.
It's a point of law they - particularly counselor Tina Cruz - certainly should understand.
Tuolumne County Probation officer Ray Hylton, preparing a
sentencing recommendation for Judge Boscoe, provided some perspective
in his report that is lacking at Columbia:
"This officer is appalled by the behavior of the defendant and how
soon he began his inappropriate contact with the victim … the victim
was his student and therefore it was his responsibility to protect the
student and not take advantage of her," Hylton wrote, noting Brennan,
"was under minimal supervision in the after-school program and it
appears he had no training concerning inappropriate teacher-student
More than a year has passed since a child was sexually exploited in
a campus classroom, yet, what steps have John Pendley and the Board of
Trustees taken to further protect students and insure no re-occurrence?
For now, all we've heard from the board is a proposed "inappropriate
touching" policy directed at Columbia's students. This is consistent
with the mind-set at Columbia: Avoid the real issue. Hold no adults
responsible for what happens on campus. The children are at fault.
What can we make of all of this?
Most importantly, John Pendley clearly has put the well-being and
protection of his son over the well being of students - especially one
young, troubled girl he was duty-bound to protect.
John Pendley owes the students, parents and taxpayers of Columbia
an apology and his resignation. Failing that, the Columbia Elementary
Board of Trustees must exert its authority and responsibility to remove
him as superintendent.

Many transit riders think Metro treats them like a captive audience, but there are breakouts.
Dear Dr. Gridlock:
Please count me as one more commuter leaving Metro. A little over five years ago, I lived in Aspen Hill and worked near Farragut Square. I walked to the Red Line's Glenmont station and got off at Farragut North. Then I got a new job, this one near the Gaithersburg/
Germantown border, and moved to Germantown. My commute was a 15-minute drive.
I am now working downtown again, near Metro Center. When I started my commute, I was shocked at how expensive Metro was. Did the fares really go up that much in five years? When I started the job in November, I would drive to Shady Grove and take the Red Line to Metro Center.
My round-trip commute cost per day was $11.50, plus $5 for parking, making my daily commute cost $16.50! Multiply that by an average of 22 working days a month and that's over $360 a month. Even the $130 pre-tax transit benefit I get from my employer covered only part of my monthly commuting expense, leaving me to pay over $230 extra per month. And now Metro is raising fares? My solution was to switch to MARC.
MARC is wonderful by comparison. There is a station two miles from my apartment, which means no more bumper-to-bumper traffic on Interstate 270 twice a day. Now I'm buying gas every other week instead of every week; there's $80+ a month saved right there.
My monthly pass for MARC is $125, which is covered completely by my transit benefit. I still have to take Metro from Union Station to Metro Center, but it's only three stops, and on warm mornings, I'll abandon it for Capital Bikeshare.
I'm saving over $300 a month in gas and additional subway fare by using MARC. Plus, with MARC, parking is free, my monthly pass is mailed to my home every month, I always get a seat, the trains have a "quiet car," there's no snarky train operator lecturing me on how to board the train and it's all above ground.
I just don't get how Metro can charge so much when there are more sane and reasonably priced ways to commute from the suburbs to downtown.
— Kevin Rowan, Germantown
As Metro made its case for the enormous rebuilding and modernization program of the past few years, it didn't bring all its customers along for the ride.
That's the thing about customers. They don't care what the company is going through to improve the service. They care about the service.
Many do show patience. But it's not endless. And they do display some inertia. Transit riders, like other humans, are creatures of habit who embrace change reluctantly.
But as Metro prepares to raise its prices again June 29 , Rowan isn't alone in looking to the competition, whether that's another form of transit, like MARC, or it means driving to work.
The latter choice puts extra stress on the D.C. region's transportation system, but customers tend to act on their sense of personal interest rather than some vision of the collective good.
Metro's trump card, to be played when riders tire of delays and disruptions in the face of rising fares, is the federal transit benefit. It's either a direct subsidy paid to federal employees, or a pretax deduction for taking transit.
The transit benefit dropped at the start of this year. According to Metro's most recent financial report, which includes the January-March quarter, rail ridership was 7 percent below what the transit authority expected. Metro officials say the benefit cut is just one reason for that.
They cite other causes, beginning in October, with federal government shutdowns for budgetary reasons, followed by severe winter weather. Metro also had hoped it would be drawing riders to the new Silver Line by now.
The decline in rail ridership continued into cherry blossom season, normally a boom time for Metrorail.
Winter is over, and so, we hope, are the federal shutdowns. But the fare increases are ahead, and there's no sign of congressional action to restore the transit benefit.
The Metro rebuilding program continues, as it will into 2017, but its positive effect is not obvious to commuters.
Consider this from Metro's latest report card on itself for January-March: Incidents delaying riders were up 12 percent compared with the same period of 2013. Metro attributes this to an increase in railcar, infrastructure and track delays.
This series of unfortunate events has continued into the spring.
Metro's action plan: More track work. Riders' action plan: Less Metro.

Naked truth on Springbok training camp
SOUTH AFRICA players were forced to strip naked and were ordered around at gunpoint in preparation for the World Cup, according to newspaper reports.
"Despite being sworn to secrecy, two players have talked about the three-day 'Camp Staaldraad' (Camp Steel Wire) . . . some two hours' drive north of Pretoria in September," the Johannesburg Sunday Times said. "On arrival, the players were made to strip naked and leopard-crawl across gravel before getting dressed and repeating the exercise," it said.
One unnamed player said that squad members were taken into the African bush, where they had to do physical labour, carrying tyres, poles and bags, all branded with England and New Zealand flags. "Later, the players were ordered naked into a freezing lake to pump…

How to understand lever and door handing
Friday, January 27, 2017
Here's a quick guide that will show you how to determine the handing of your door to ensure you choose the right door hardware and lock for your home.
Have you ever wondered what LH and RH in the product or model name means when you order door hardware? They each stand for left hand and right hand and are used to determine the handing of your lever. It's important that you understand handing to ensure you choose the right lever for your door.
Handing is a term used to indicate how a door swings. To do this, you'll need to stand on the outside of your door. Notice where the hinges are.
- If the hinges are on the left, you have a left handed door. You will need a left handed (LH) lock.
- If the hinges are on the right, you have a right handed door. You will need a right handed (RH) lock.
See the illustration below for an example.
With the simple steps above, you can easily understand handing. Ordering a new lock without considering the steps above could result in a handle that does not fit the right direction. If you have any questions regarding the right door lock for your home, comment below to let us know!

The following compares two function approximations to the hyperbolic tangent function. One is a continued fraction expansion that was developed as an even contraction of a continued fraction derived from a power series using Euler's method to convert a series into an S-fraction (gray curve). This continued fraction expansion is already the fastest-converging one from among the ones presented in: Cuyt, Petersen, et al.: "Handbook of Continued Fractions for Special Functions" (Springer, 2008), which is the reason I chose it as the starting point for my own contraction method. The second (blue-dashed curve) is a canonical even contraction I have developed from the second.
In this example the Taylor series is not even considered. It is quite complicated and converges only between +/- Pi/2 whereas the continued fraction approximations converge everywhere on the complex plane! The Taylor series is entirely unsuitable for high-precision approximations to the hyperbolic tangent function.

Siachen Glacier: The Battle of Roses
ISBN 978-81-291-1687-1, 2010 | Pp. 228 + 37 photographs + 5 maps | Rs. 495
Rupa Publications, New Delhi [ www.rupapublications.com ]
SIACHEN, the longest glacier in the world outside the polar regions, is a virtual high altitude paradise. Roses are found on the glacier giving its name- Sia, the rose. However for the past 26 years it has seen bloody warfare on its heights. Indian and Pakistan armies have been battling it out for its control, paying a heavy price in terms of human lives, financial resources and environmental devastation. The glacier, being part of the state of Jammu & Kashmir has defied all attempts at finding a peaceful solution to the conflict.
The Shimla Agreement of 1972, marked the Line of Control till a point, known as NJ9842. And it mentioned that the border ahead shall follow 'thence north to the glaciers', the ill-fated five words. Pakistan sponsored foreign mountaineering expeditions to the glacier. To prevent occupation by Pakistan, the Indian army landed on the glacier on 13th April 1984. This was the start of the conflict.
The book narrates the history of exploration of the Siachen, the political developments, stories of battles, state of the environment and plight of soldiers living at heights above 20,000 ft where temperatures drops to -40 degrees in winter. During his several visits to the Siachen glacier for climbing peaks and exploring different valleys, the author had the opportunity to interact with simple soldiers, officers and local people, and witness the conflict first hand. He speaks of those encounters too.
The War of Roses, between two neighbours locked in a long lasting violent conflict with constant one-upmanship has led to unprecedented destruction of the finest mountain area. The book offers a suggestion to establish the 'Siachen Peace Park' to end this war and allow Nature to regenerate.

Soli Mehta Harish Kapadia
ISBN 978-81-7387-208-2, 2008 | Pp. 224 + 20 maps + 68 plates | Rs. 500 Hard back
The purpose of this book is to excite and inspire the climber and trekker to take advantage of the vast possibilities the Himalaya has to offer. it draws attention to the less familiar and more challenging aspects of the known 7000 and 6000-metre peaks. It concentrates most valuably on the wealth of minor but still extremely rewarding summits, many of them unclimbed and some of them quite unknown, which have been hitherto neglected due to simple ignorance or the difficulty of access. Each region is backed up by photographs and sketch maps, supported by a brief outline of the history of exploration and climbing in that area. It attempts to answer two questions that an enthusiastic climber would want to ask. Where shall I go? What should I climb? All this adds up to an immensely valuable source of reference to the range upon range of named and unnamed peaks crying out for attention.

For many small business owners content marketing is nothing more than just a buzzword since they used to believe that content marketing is a necessity for big companies, brands and startups. However, when executed right, content marketing can help small businesses not only increase their visibility and boost sales, but also eliminate the necessity to spend on advertising. What's more, the rise of ad blocking serves as a signal that in the nearest future businesses will have to start investing most of their budget in a quality content rather than spending their entire marketing budget on advertising.
So, why do small businesses need to invest in a content marketing?
Here are 3 reasons:
Good content marketing helps to build a strong online company presence
Since most of today's consumers do online research and read online reviews prior to buying any physical products or ordering services, a strong online company presence is crucial for business of any size. Moreover, to stand out among competitors, your company needs not only good products/services to sell, your company needs a unique story to tell. You have to communicate your company's story and mission in such a way that it makes competition irrelevant. That's when content marketing comes into play.
With the help of content you can communicate the reason why you started your company, your company's mission, vision and values it stands for and what value it delivers to customers. The content you create around your company's activities, product offerings, mission and values should give potential customers a solid reason to buy from you, not your competitors. In addition, to build a strong online company presence, everything – from visuals to messaging – should reflect company's identity and remain as brand consistent as possible.
Good content has a potential to become a reliable education source for your customers
Very often when doing research on products a simple product description isn't enough for customers to make a purchasing decision. Smart businesses know this and they go beyond providing a basic product description – they clearly illustrate how a particular product can add value to customer's life and solve a problem.
If you produce jam, you should go beyond listing ingredients this jam is made of. For example, you can create a content on how to cook different meals with your jam or ask your customers to submit recipes of food that was cooked with your jam.
Or, for example, if you produce healthy snacks, it would be also good to create content on healthy eating and nutrition.
To come up with great content ideas, I'd recommend to use approach mentioned in the book
"The key is to define the total solution buyers seek when they choose a product or service. A simple way to do so is to think about what happens before, during, and after your product is used."
Good content helps to build trust and position your company as an expert in the field
Today's businesses are expected to provide a transparent information about products – all ingredients and how they may affect consumers. Consumers are more willing to buy from companies they trust, therefore, it's very important to communicate important information to customers in a transparent manner.
By being transparent and providing in-depth, fresh and unique content, your company will not only be able to stand out, but also position itself as a leading expert in the field.
Think about how your content can address the unmet industry needs, how your content can fill the gaps and provide information that haven't been offered by your competitors. You have to create a unique content that will help you to cut through the noise and stay relevant to your customers.
How to get started with content marketing:
Define your company's tone of voice
Company's tone of voice is an expression of company's personality, core values and mission. Company's tone of voice must be unique and recognizable. To define your company's tone of voice think about your company as a human being and try to answer the following questions: "Who is my company?", "What does my company do?", "What does my company stand for?", "How should the key attributes that would set my company apart from competition look like?", "Why do people visit my company's website and how would I want them to feel about it?"
Defining company's tone of voice is important because it would influence everything – from website design to messaging to even calls to action.
Define your audience
The next step is to define your audience – "Who your audience is?", "What's your audience interested in?", "What does your audience care about?"
Before you start creating content, you have to define your target audience and think how your content will deliver on audience's needs. Just like your company's tone of voice, your content should be unique and relevant.

Take care of a proper content distribution
Many business owners ask, "Isn't it enough to publish content on such social channels as LinkedIn, Facebook, Medium, YouTube only?"
My answer is, "No!"
While social media platforms may provide a greater reach, they remain platforms you have little control over.
I strongly recommend to publish all your content on the platform you own (blog, website) and use social media platforms to distribute your content and send traffic right to your website or blog.
If you are a social media beginner and wish to learn more about its importance for small businesses, here is the article 12 Social Media Marketing Trends for Small Business to help you get started.
Define type of content you'll publish
Among the most widespread types of content are blog posts, podcasts, videos, infographics, slideshare presentations, images.
Of course, visual content performs best on most channels. But still you have to do analysis to determine what type of content would work best in your case. Also, if you use visuals, it's important to keep them as brand consistent as possible and try to avoid stock images, especially when it comes to creating content for your product offerings or your services description.
Define frequency of publishing your content
Content marketing works best when it is performed on a consistent basis. Therefore, it's important to define the optimal frequency of publishing a new content – define days when your content will appear online and try to stick to this schedule.
Create editorial calendar
Editorial calendar provides the best way to stay organized and keep track of the most important aspects of your content marketing – categories, ideas, topics, publishing schedule. Here are a few resources to help you get started with editorial calendar:

If you are on Oracle 10g you are able.
Check out http://www.databasejournal.com/featu...le.php/3365371
If you are not on Oracle 10g I have heard (never tried) you can execute a command through TNS and EXTPROC. I can not recomend any resources as i have not tried this approach but you can quickly do a search on the net for 'execute tns listener external extproc' and get some hits.

Pop Culture
Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
The High Holy Days can be one of the most challenging seasons for interfaith families. Unlike services during the rest of the Jewish year--which are often much more informal and personal--the liturgy, theology, language and prayers of the High Holy Day season are usually the most difficult, anthropomorphic, and uncomfortable of the year for most Jews.
The primary images of God throughout this sacred season are of a deity who judges our actions, encourages us to repent and change direction, and then decides our fate for the year ahead. Many people, Jews and non-Jews alike, find the ancient images of God as the "Divine Judge sitting on the throne of Judgment" and the prayers which ask "Who shall live and who shall die," along with their long list of all the gruesome ways that we might perish in the year ahead, difficult to relate to and disconnected from their own spiritual search for meaning, purpose and personal growth in life.
This is why one of the great ironies of interfaith life is that so often the very first exposure that a potential non-Jewish life partner has to Judaism and Jewish rituals is when his or her Jewish partner brings him or her to a High Holy Day service. It is probably the single worst possible way to introduce anyone to what Judaism is all about, and without a key to the liturgical drama that is going on, perhaps one of the most difficult ways to understand the values, ethics, and meaning that Judaism has taught the world for the past 4,000 years.
Having said that, if you are going to bring a non-Jew to the High Holy Days I would suggest that one such "key" to the liturgy is to prepare them in advance for the kind of prayer language they will be encountering. Let them know that the image of God in the High Holy Day prayer book is specifically depicted in the most dramatic form possible (God as supreme "judge" of our actions, sitting on the "throne of Justice," deciding "who shall live and who shall die" in the year ahead) to lead us to a personal process of self-reflection and judgment so that we will take this time to examine our own actions of the past year and make decisions about the kind of person we want to be and how we want to act in the year ahead.
In spite of this challenging introduction to Jewish theology, interfaith couples continue to get married or make life commitments, and then the non-Jewish partner becomes a "Jew by association" and his or her celebration of the High Holy Days then becomes part of the greater experience of the Jewish partner's extended family. Since Judaism is a civilization with all the complexity that any civilization has (language, literature, art, culture, foods, music, religion, homeland) and not merely a "religion" in the narrow definition of a system of shared beliefs, it is in these broader areas of Jewish civilization that interfaith families often have their best shared holiday experiences.
For example, eating the ritual foods of the High Holy Day season together can provide any interfaith couple or family with wonderful opportunities to have positive experiences where the values are shared and the rituals are fun. Dipping apples in honey on Rosh Hashanah symbolizes the wish for a sweet new year. Taking a bite of the traditional round challah (my favorite is with raisins) can be seen as a symbol of the desire to bring wholeness into our lives and celebrate the cycles of life together. Fasting on Yom Kippur can remind us of the millions of children in America and throughout the world who don't get to choose whether or not to go hungry each day. All of these can become positive, powerful Jewish experiences that any interfaith family can embrace.
Second, many of the spiritual themes of the High Holy Day services themselves can provide inspiration for personal spiritual growth and reflect universal ethics and values that interfaith couples and families can embrace. For example, since Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as "the birthday of the world," it is a perfect time to remember our responsibility as stewards of the earth. Any family--whether same faith or interfaith--can make a difference in the world through our personal use of energy in our homes and throughout our lives. We can change regular light bulbs to environmentally friendly ones, make better choices about how, when and what we drive on our highways, eat less red meat, and make our homes, work and communities more sustainable in a hundred different ways. All of these choices and more can be seen as examples of the religious obligations ("mitzvot") that the High Holy Days teach of taking responsibility for our own actions and the world in which we live.
Third, it is important for interfaith couples to remember that one of the ways we demonstrate respect for our loved ones is by allowing them the freedom to choose how and when they wish to participate in religious ritual and tradition. If non-Jewish spouses or partners would prefer not to sit through Yom Kippur service--whether because the liturgy itself is uncomfortable or they simply don't relate to the pomp and length of the services--their Jewish partners should give them permission not to attend. Instead the Jewish partner can go to services with family members or friends and find other ways to "share" the holidays with their partners, such as being together for dinner at the beginning of the holiday or joining together for a break-fast.
These are just some of the many ways that interfaith couples and families can successfully celebrate the most sacred time of the Jewish year together in peace and harmony.

Looking Ahead: What's Out
by Joshua Hoffman
Way back when (all the way back to about two months ago), we did a series of posts looking back at the past year in market research, and more importantly, looking ahead to what's likely to change. Our favorite post among the series highlighted a project by Kathryn Korostoff of Research Rockstar, wherein she applied one of the past year's market research trends – crowdsourcing – to the task of identifying predictions for market research in the year ahead (a very "meta" project, indeed).
Well, the final results are in.
Kathryn has compiled the complete results in a paper, which you should download and read. Among a great deal of information and analysis, Kathryn has also called out her "What's Out" list, which reads as follows (to quote from her post):
- Assuming one project=one data collection approach. I think this is self-evident given some of the top 10 items discussed in the paper.
- Assuming that every MR project is either a focus group or a survey. Again, obvious.
- Market Research agencies controlling sample access. Let's be honest: one of the reasons clients have relied heavily on agencies in the past is because they had access to the most qualified participants. But panel companies will start catering to end-clients (or new panel companies will seize the moment), and the rise of MROCs as a substitute sample source means the middle man (agencies) no longer has that control.
- Market Research as a silo. On the client side, this means that research will be coordinating more with IT or operations functions, like it or not, for access to CRM and other data sources. On the agency side, it may mean tighter partnerships or at least coordination with ad agencies, client-side IT departments and new sample source owners.
- Conventional surveys as the primary mode of customer feedback. Newer methods, including those that focus more on observation, will cannibalize traditional survey-based projects. Not completely, but it will hurt.
Kathryn certainly lives up to her title of Research Rockstar. This is really valuable insight and analysis, and if you play any role whatsoever in the market research industry, be sure you benefit from her hard work and leadership here by reading the paper.

I do completely agree with the summary and the point rose within.
The new market research methodology and software implications are in need for IT involvement. Also we do need innovate ideas and newer methodology and to keep up with changes happening in every angle of our life.
Having said that, based on my experience and background all the above are not complete if we do not concentrate and pay same attention to the data quality. In any research nothing will replace the data quality, the research is as good as the data captured/collected for and used in the modeling.
March 4th, 2011 at 4:07 pm
I generally agree with points 1-4. Point 3 is already happening and Point 4 strikes me as obvious. I'm not sure I see number 5 (far fewer surveys) coming to fruition in the near future. While some new data sources will replace some survey data of today, the opportunities that these new data sources create will also mean the need for different kinds of survey data. In short, surveys will always be the best tool for filling in the holes in existing data…and there will always be holes.

Sanson Spelling Variations
Sanson Spelling Variations
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Sanson family name include Sampson, Samson and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Sanson family to immigrate North America:

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Pejus letho flagitium
Motto Translation: Disgrace is worse than Death.

Fresh from teaching a course about literary adaptations and borrowings, I'm now wrangling with an article on that topic this summer. Whatever this says about me, I'm very interested in non-originality: in the degree and manner by which people creatively rework old material—borrow, pillage, plunder, re-use, recycle, and in general put vino nuevo en cueros viejos. This is the new-media question of the moment: should creative expression be thought of as a kind of open-source code, where authorship is not individual but collective, accreting layers of new, sedimented meaning over time? Looked at a certain way, without the fetish of the individual genius that is our legacy from the Romantics, couldn't this be the very model of literary and cultural history? (Of course, when you insist that the borrowed matter is "your own," you're not only reverting to that earlier notion of authorship-as-possession but guilty of plagiarism—I was incredulous that some of the students in my adaptation class would miss that point and rip stuff off the internet anyway, but that's another story.)
So I was delighted to discover (that seems like the wrong word, since it came to my consciousness from a Facebook link) that the new NPR podcast, Alt-Latino, had a great show called "Rescued and Refurbished: Our Favorite Latin Rock Remakes." Terms like "cover" and "remake" don't quite capture the multiple nests of attribution and referencing here, especially when the versions move, partway or all the way, between languages, like Seu Jorge's Portuguese rendition of David Bowie's "Life on Mars." Then there are all the interpretive spins that come when you move across genres and styles, like the transformation of the misogynistic cumbia "Baracunatana" into a fem-rock anthem in Andrea Echeverri's rendition. Those transformations often weave a path, in their musical preferences, across ethno-national lines: this, more than ambivalent acculturation into/by USAmericanness, is what makes Latino culture.
My favorite find on the show is the last thread, which follows The Verve's megahit "Bitter Sweet Symphony," inescapable in 1997, both backward in time (to its orchestration off a Stones song in the late 1960s) and forward– to its semi-translation into "Sinfonía agridulce" by the Mexican Institute of Sound, itself a perfect example of a band that cannily takes from both globalized mass culture and the particularity of folk and regional forms.
The Alt.Latino website notes, "It sounds as if lead singer Camilo Lara is stumbling out of a tavern," but to me the recording was trying to get the effect of a casual group of musicians meeting in the street or in the plaza: you hear "Echale maestro" at the start and the obligatory "¡Je, je! ¡Viva México!" at the end, with the hand-clapping starting in the last several bars of the song and continuing beyond it. The famous violin line in the Oldham/Verve song is played in a deliberately non-virtuostic way; the typical horns are added in–to call this a sinfonía is completely ironic. Best of all, Lara's very loose translation resolves the question over what Richard Ashcroft was mumbling in the "original" version (was it "here in my mold"? or "here in my mind?"): estoy aquí en mi mero mole. I'm here in my own thing, right where I want to be, and my despair is delicious. That state of musical affect called "tortured" comes off differently when you have Mexico behind you. It's more . . . saucy.
