Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
My name is Sarah and I am 28, DH is Saul and he is 31. We have two little boys, Aiden is 5 and Colin just turned 3. I am currently a SAHM and DH is a welder on Oil rigs all over the midwest. We have been trying for #3 since October and I had gotten pregnant our first cycle but had a m/c in early November.
My boys at Christmas
EDD: September 20th 2011
First Midwives appointment 04/11 at 1:30pm- had a blood draw and the HB was 154
4/19 at 2:15pm- BP 94/60 had a PAP, HB was 154 again
First U/S!!!!!!! May 3rd @ 10:30 IT'S A BOY! Everything measured perfect!
5/17 at 10:45am- BP 96/62 He was being a PITA about getting a HB so we called it at 140 Sat and chatted with my MW for a while, it was a great, relaxing appointment!
6/15 @ 11:30 AM- BP 98/64 HB was 149, measuring about 3 weeks ahead but no worries. My weight is good and I've now gained about 5 lbs from my prepregnancy weight. I start having appointments every 2 weeks now and my next appointment will be the GTT and my Rhogam shot!
6/30 @ 9:00 AM- BP 106/62 HB was 138, Measured right at 30 weeks (I'm 28 weeks). Everything looks great. I weigh 217, gained 2 lbs from my last appt. Midwife said she thinks she feels his head down in my pelvis by feeling from the outside so that's awesome! I deff thought he was flipping around the last few days because of all the crazy movement and I suddenly have AWFUL heartburn! I did my GTT and will get the results in the next couple days. I also got My Rhogam shot in the butt, it actually didn't really hurt, but my butt is sore now

My name is Mandi and I'm a stay at home mom (very part time taking online classes too) to my 3 (going on 4!) kids. Our oldest daughter is 6 (will be 7 when baby comes), our second daughter is 4 (will be 5 when the baby comes), and our son just turned 1 in December (so he'll be 20-21 months old). DH was done, I wasn't sure but we weren't really preventing since I was still breastfeeding and hadn't had my period back yet. The weekend of New Years I started feeling really 'off' but kind of blew it off. Finally on Friday the 7th I spur of the moment decided to take a test I had on hand, I actually walked away and almost forgot about it but went to check it about 5 minutes later, totally expecting a BFN because I had convinced myself I was silly for even testing since I probably hadn't even ovulated and you can't get pregnant without an egg! To my shock there were two lines! I normally don't swear but two not so great words came out of my mouth I was in shock, but the shock quickly turned to excitement and happiness
I had some spotting on Sunday (the 9th) and still have a tiny bit today (the 10th, my birthday!) but I took some more tests today and the test line is darker than the control so I'm optimistic.
January 10- Beta- 209
January 12- Beta 499!
January 25- Ulrasound scheduled
February 8- first midwife appointment
No idea on due date, my best guess is Sept 13-18? I set my ticker to the 17th for now so I don't lose a week if I'm on the later side of that. My LMP was in April 2009
First three tests are from today (1/10), bottom two are from the past two days

So I want to reserve my spot!!
About me: My name is Nicole I am 26 and will be 27 when he/she shows up. My husband is amazing, he is 27 and super excited. We have been married for 2 and half years, together for 5. This is our first and we couldn't be more excited and nervous!
Doctor stuff: Have an appt for 8 weeks to have a doppler done. I can't wait other then that I have to trust the home pregnancy tests.
Tested 12/29 and got a negative result (was 2 days before AF) then got home from vacation and AF still hadn't showed and I felt like it was about to any day (cramping, bloating..etc...) Got a very strong BFP on the test on 1/5/10... Ran to the store and bought a different brand and got strong BFP on those too Had to do 3 tests to be sure.
EDD: Nurse on the phone things it is around Sept. 10, 2011, but will find out more details in a couple weeks when we get to have our doc appt.
I'll post more as I start showing. Right now the jeans are a feeling a little snug in the waist but nothing to bad.
Reserving my space!
About me: Im 31, will be 32, I have a son who is 2.5 and am a custodial stepmom to my DH's 17 year old daughter (her Mom isnt involved). I am a pediatrician and my DH is a SAHD who also runs an internet business (just started...how convenient he chose baby furniture! LOL)
Had BFP 1/6/11 (had a BFN 12/28 (annual OB appt) and 12/30 at home). LMP was Nov 30th, I think.
HCG 1/11/11: 1339, progesterone was low a t 6.3
1st OB appt: 1/18/11. U/S showed 6 weeks 3 days, couldnt get a definite heartbeat, decided to do serial HCGs and come back in 2 weeks for a repeat ultrasound. Also started on Endometrin due to the low progesterone.
Repeat ultrasound scheduled for 2/3/11 - showed 7 weeks, but with a good heartbeat!
Ultrasound 2/17: Showed 9 weeks 5 days, good heartbeat! EDD changed to 9/17/11
Nurse visit 2/24: Just general intake questions but I got to hear the heartbeat again (167!)
OB appointment: 3/10/11 for nuchal translucency screen and OB check.
OB appointment in April: nothing exciting except heartbeat
Anatomy ultrasound and OB appointment: 5/4/11 Everything looking good. She's a girl! her name will be Cassandra Rose. Brayden now proclaims that he has a pink baby named Cassandra in HIS belly, too! I can feel her kicking on the outside now.
Oh wow just realized I havent updated this in awhile.
At my 24 week OB appointment, I was informed that she was moving 3 hours away at the end of July (about 33 weeks). So, I had to scramble to find another provider to give me a shot at a VBAC.
I ended up going with a hospital based CNM group, starting at 28 weeks.
At 31 weeks, the glucoses I was monitoring went out of range, so I got labelled GDM (again) and sent to see a perinatologist and nutritionist.
At 32 weeks, she was measuring 4 lb 11 oz +/- 3/4 of a lb. So, I go serious about the diet.
Things went well.
Saw the backup OB at 34 weeks and got the talk about "dont go past 39 weeks, induction, ERCS, blah blah blah"
35 week appointment with perinatologist, he was happy with my numbers, she was measured to be 6 lb 2 oz, +/- 1 lb, still a girl, and I was discharged from his care in terms of GDM
35 week appointment with the midwives - met the head midwife, Kathleen, who was incredibly nice but definitely no-nonsense.
36 weeks - last weekend of work (baby rounds). Now having symptoms of pubic symphysis dysfunction, it HURTS to turn over in bed, walk, etc. Meeting with a new chiropractor at 36+2. We're ROT/ROP ish and I hurt. Hopefully she can help!

Digital confirmation @ 11dpo
I'm Erin,Dh is Andy. I'm a Mommy to 3 beautiful children and this will be #4!!! Brayden is 8, Kellan is 5 and Isabelle AKA Izzy is 2. I am a Registered Nurse working for a major Insurance comp and I work from home and DH is an Insurance agent. He is in the process of switching to a new company so I am praying that this is a good move! I had very easy pregnancies with all my kids, but recently suffered a miscarriage at 7 weeks in November. I am cautiously excited about this pregnancy, I will feel alot more comfortable once I have an ultrasound confirming a healthy baby!
Week 3~ So Wow what a week! I got a teeny tiny bfp @ 9 dpo or 3 wk 1 day! I had some nausea which lead to me testing, but that has since resolved. I am feeling some lower abdominal fullness and I am peeing more frequently, also my BBs are tender and I have had some minor cramps. The biggest symtom this week is fatigue, I'm really tired already!
Week 4~ This week I have increased fatigue and sore bbs. I have also noticed lower abdominal pressure, cramps and low back discomfort and increased cm. Overall, I am feeling great!
Week 5~FATIGUE!!!! I am SO tired it is unreal. My bbs are becoming increasingly tender and they seem to be growing some. I am also noticed an increase in cm...alot!
Week 6~ I am still very tired, very very tired! I have been having on and off cramping... and I am gassy. I am weepy at times and snappy at others! My bbs are still sore and swollen and my abdomin is starting to swell alittle too. Very minor nausea.
Week 7~ Ugh what a week! This week I really started to expirence morning sickness! Thankfully I never vomited, but my stomach was not happy. My energy level is still down and my bbs are still tender. I developed a cold this week too, which I am sure hasn't helped anything.
Week 8~ Hunger, sore bbs, abdominal pressure and swelling. By the evening my jeans are getting tight!!!! I have been having some acne too.
Week 9~ Other then a head cold I'm doing pretty good! Still tired, but that seems to be improving some too.
Week 10~ I have continued to have this head congestion. I know that some women experience this during pregnancy, but I am tired of it! My belly is growing, but I can still fit in my jean, but I don't think for much longer!
* 10 weeks 5 days- cabbage test = purple = GIRL!!!!! I guess we will see if its correct in a couple months!
Week 11~ I am actually feeling pretty good this week! My congestion is improved and I'm not as tired! I do still have a lot of CM and my bbs are still very tender.
Week 12~ I have been feeling really good! I am still in shock that I am having twins, but that soon will calm down too. I have been feeling small flutters every few days, I can't wait until they become more regular. My BBs are still sensitive and I noticed my aerolas are becoming larger and darker.
Week 13~ Feeling well and my sinuses seem to be better.
Week 14~ Feeling great! Some fatigue again this week, but overall I feel good!
Week 15~ Still feeling good! My nips are still so sensitive and my belly is growing. Its funny though, in the AM its not too big, but after a meal.. WOWZA! I can still wear my jeans, but I am using the rubberband trick. I don't think that is going to work much longer! Its starting to get a little harder to get up from the couch too.
Week 16~ In maternity clothes. I can no longer wear my jeans at all!
Week 17~ Daily movement, definately feeling Baby B on my left and someone is kicking my bladder/cervix too, but not sure who! I definately had a growth spurt this week and its definately noticable that I am pregnant now.
Week 18~ Growing growing growing... starting to get more difficult to bend and get up off the couch! I felt both babies from the outside this week and saw lefty on the outside too!
Week 19~ Feelin good had my antamony scan and both babies are looking great 11 oz each. They are both still girls.
Week 20~ The movements are getting so strong! Andy and Brayden have both felt the babies kick its so amazing! I am starting to get some hip pains and I think I am slowing down some too.
Week 21~
Week 22~
Week 23~ Growing growing growing! My belly is definately frowing and the girls are getting stronger! They kick so hard at times it takes my breath! They are also moving up and making it actually harder to breath @ times, but at least they are doing well! My uterus is measuring 34 wks!
Week 24~
1/21/2011~ pregnancy confirmation test...its POSITIVE!!!!
2/1/2011~ nurse and OB appt 8:15
2/15/2011~ BP check- ok- 130/72~ continue to monitor
3/14/2011~ NT scan 8:00 am- OH MY LANDS!! TWINS!!!! Went and had my NT scan done. For the 1st 15 mins the scan was going great! Baby was moving around, but the tech really wanted the baby to flip, so she finally asked me to go pee in hope to get the baby to move. When I came back in and I was laying back down I told her how happy I was that the baby was healthy and also that there was only 1...at the very moment she was putting the probe back on my belly and there were 2 sacs and 2 babies! I yelled NOOOO! LOL ....You have got to be kidding me! I was beyond shocked at that point, I was kinda giddy! TWINS! HR's 155 and 164... baby A has an anterior placenta and baby B has a posterior placenta. They are in separate sacs and have separate placentas called didi twins. She sd that this is the healthiest type of twin pregnancy! Baby A is measuring 13wk 1 day and B is 12wks 6 days, so almost a week ahead! They both looked great and were wiggling around for us! I am excited and terrified at the same time! LOL
3/29/2011~ 14 wks~ OB appt 3:45/4:30 pm
4/19/2011~ 17 wks~ OB appt 3:45~ all checked out well up 8 lbs. Uterus is measuring 26 wks!
5/03/2011~ 19wk 1 day~anatomy US 3:00pm~ both are still girls weighing 11oz each and healthy!
5/17/2011~ 21 wks~ OB appt 4:00 pm
5/31/2011~ 23 wks~U/S to check their growth and baby B's (righty) heart- just need better pictures.
*Appt update: So it went very well. I had my US 1st and the babies are measuring within 4% of each other, they each basically weigh 1.6lbs. They are both heads UP which is why I am having a harder time getting up off the couch and keep feeling lots of kicks in my bladder! They are both still girls and are looking perfect!
Then I had my OB appt. My cervix is still long and closed, my uterus/fundal ht is now at 34 weeks. Baby A heartrate was 159 and B's is 150. I have gained 25 lbs so far but he isnt concerned. I will be going in for appts every 2 wks at this point and 4 wks for growth scans.

ABOUT ME: Hi Im Renea married to Paul. I have 4 kids. 2 sons Daequar 15 and Erik 13, 2 daughters Rain 8 and Jordan 5. I got my tubes tied the day I had Jordan because I knew I was divorcing my husband. In 2009 I married Paul on August 6 then got my tubes untied on the 13th. I got pregnant easily but keeping them was hard. I suffered 4 losses. My midwife referred me to a RE and I was told I had to wait until January to start treatment. Well Paul had other plans for us. I Ovulated on Dec 23 and when me and Paul bd he would normally pull out if Im in my fertile period this time he didnt. He told me Merry Christmas instead. I thought it was really cute. Welllllllllllllllllllll 8 days later I got my BFP. Thanks hunny for the christmas present. Due Sept 15. My guess is Girl.

It is all very tragic, and yet I am amused by everything in this story, starting with the fact that the husband's first choice was to reconcile with his estranged wife. His second choice was to have her killed with a hammer. That is a man who does not recognize nuance. I wonder how many people in his life have escaped close calls.
Husband: "Hey, Fred, do you have another beer?"
Fred: "All I have is some light beers."
Husband (thinking): I should kill him with a hammer.
My other favorite part of the story is that the hit man carried his alleged client's phone number in his backpack while on the job. I never attended hit man school, but I have to think they teach you on the first day not to keep your client's phone number with you on the job. And on day two they probably cover the basics of not letting yourself get strangled by the lady you are sent to kill.
I can imagine myself in the place of the nurse who did the strangling. Once you subdue a hit man, you really don't want to take the chance of him getting up no matter how much he's promising he won't do it again. It blurs the line of self-defense, but you have no real option but to finish the job once you start. And I suppose if a guy has just hit you with a hammer, you'd probably enjoy making his eyes bug out like a cartoon character. But maybe that's just me.
The other great irony is that the strangler is a nurse. I'd hate to be a future patient who recognizes her face from the news. I'd hold my pee for a week before I'd ask that nurse for a bed pan.
Just seeing if I can see this post. Yesterday's post is apparently viewable by a few people, but not by me. And based on the few comments, not by most people I think.
Okay, now look BELOW this entry to find the post I did AFTER this entry. Apparently the blog software has gone totally random.
I like to spot sentences that have probably never been uttered. This hobby is like bird watching but without the inconvenience of the outdoors. The trick is that the unique sentences have to be natural, not just a bunch of random words strung together. Take for example the following question: Did you hear about the inflatable Swiss dog turd that attacked an orphanage? That sentence qualifies even though I wrote it myself, because the event actually happened.
Luckily no orphans were injured in the attack. And no one is more relieved, so to speak, than the artist who squeezed out that masterpiece. I mean, if just once in your entire life you create a huge inflatable turd that injures an orphan, it sort of erases anything else you might do. You'll always be that guy.
I wonder how you get rid of a huge inflatable turd when you no longer want it. Do you take it to the dump just to be ironic? Or do you rent it on weekends for kid parties?
I'd probably put stucco on it and make it my home. That way when company came over, and I hadn't bothered to clean up, I would just say, "I'm sorry our house looks like crap." Everyone would laugh and laugh, and not even care that the floor is seven layers of toys, clothing, and miscellaneous remote controls. Anyway, if you accept a dinner invitation inside a giant turd, you probably started out with low expectations.
And what if the inflatable dog turd gets punctured? Would the first person to notice exclaim "Holy crap!"? And if not, would that person regret the missed opportunity for the rest of his natural life? I know I would. I have trouble releasing that sort of thing. For me, it would be like training all my life for the Olympics and forgetting to set my alarm on the day of my event. It would haunt me.

"I will look at it very carefully," Obama said. "That will give us time to act, potentially during the lame duck session, to change this policy." He also said the repeal of DADT should not be a "partisan issue." The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network's Executive Director Aubrey Sarvis issued an official statement about Obama's comments on DADT at Wednesday's press conference: "When asked about 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' today, the President was right to focus on the lame duck session in the Senate as the best place to get repeal this year," he said. "If the President, Senator Majority Leader Reid, and Secretary Gates are aligned and determined to see the defense bill move this year the chances are good repeal can still happen, but they will need several Republican senators to join them. Clearly a bipartisan vote will be needed to take up the bill in the Senate and to ensure final passage this year."

URL shortener Trim gets cut off
Summary: It was costly and not worth the effort to compete with Twitter fave Bitly, according to a post by parent company Nambu Networks.
"We simply cannot find a way to justify continuing to work on it, or pay its network costs, which are not inconsequential," the post read.
Those expenses may have been particularly encumbering recently when Trim was hit by a denial-of-service attack last week that knocked it offline.
The blog post was tinged with more than a hint of bitterness. Twitter, the service that led to the explosion of URL shorteners as Web users needed to truncate lengthy addresses to fit into a 140-character space, has shown a clear preference for Trim rival Bitly. Twitter uses Bitly as its default URL shortener, and it's even been rumored that Twitter may acquire it altogether.
"Twitter has all but sapped us of any last energy to double down and develop Tr.im further," the post read. "What is the point? With Bit.ly the Twitter default, and with us having no inside connection to Twitter, Tr.im will lose over (in) the long run no matter how good it may or may not be at this moment, or in the future."
What the company hasn't said: what will happen to existing Trim URLs? It's likely that Nambu Networks hasn't yet decided. If Trim is completely closed, that would mean that those shortened URLs would turn into broken links. It'd be possible to close it to new entries but keep existing ones, except that wouldn't solve the financial problem.
One commenter on the Trim blog post suggested that perhaps the service could live on in the form of an open-source project. But for now, its fate remains up in the air.

Sculpture is Michigan man's message to neighbor
Published On: Nov 16 2013 11:18:51 AM EST
An Oakland County homeowner's backyard patio décor is getting a lot of attention.
Local 4 has obtained pictures and video of a bronze sculpture has been placed behind a home in a gated community in Orchard Lake.
And, yes, that's a hand with the middle finger raised toward a neighboring home.
In a statement to Local 4, the owner explained, "I am expressing my displeasure with this guy who was involved with my wife while we were married."
The sculpture, which reportedly cost about $7,000, has become a bit of an internet sensation since someone tweeted a picture of it on Friday.

Neither the oppressive heat and humidity nor the threat of rain early in the day could deter Glen Covers from coming out in great numbers for its annual celebration of the birthday of our country on Tuesday, July 4.
While many witnesses believed the school itself was burning, the detective said that the fire was actually set in a large pile of roofing materials, stacked and ready to be used in repair of the middle school roof.

Written by Betsy Abraham, email@example.com Thursday, 20 March 2014 00:00
Not many high school students can say they know how to fly a plane, build a heat shield or act as mission control for a flight. But these are just some of the skills Hicksville High School junior Veronica Ann Morrish picked up at the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy, an international program that encourages students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Morrish applied for the prestigious program last year and was selected based on her academic merit and two essay prompts. She says she has always loved the mystery of space.
"I always found it fascinating growing up," Morrish said. "It's such a great unknown, we have no idea what's up there. It would be such an amazing opportunity to actually go up to space and explore."
At the beginning of March, Morrish flew down to join 304 students from 38 countries at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alamaba. Every day of the weeklong program, she engaged in different activities such as shuttle missions, weightlessness training, simulated jet-fighter pilot training, scenario-based space-walking missions, and designing, building and testing rockets.
Morrish says one of her favorite activities was the flight simulation, where she got to learn how to fly a plane just like a real pilot.
"They taught you how to use everything and you got to fly around and take off like you were in an actual plane. It was honestly the most amazing experience, it was so cool," Morrish said. "I was one of the three people who didn't crash," she notes with pride.
Morrish also got to hear from and meet with top scientists, engineers and former astronauts, including Robert "Hoot" Gibson.
"He was really inspirational," says Morrish. "He inspired me to work harder to do what I want to do with my life."
Before the training, Morrish had been leaning toward a career in psychology but now says she would like to become an engineer or pilot. She says that her week at the leadership academy taught her valuable leadership and speech skills, as well as helped her form new friendships with other space-loving teens from around the world.
"I really grew as a person. It was an amazing opportunity and it changed my life," she said.

The following post was first published on ConSoc's previous site. It is recorded here as a window onto issues as they were at the time. For more up to date news on the Constitution and Constitutional reform, make sure to follow the ConSoc blog.
A binding referendum will be held on May 5th to decide whether to change the voting system to the Alternative Vote.
The Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill received royal assent last night, in time for the programmed referendum date.
While the Lords voted twice to require a minimum 40% turnout in order for the referendum result to be binding, the amendment was overturned by a Commons majority of 68.
Also removed from the final Bill was Lord Pannick's amendment increasing the amount by which constituencies will be permitted to vary from the national quota.
The most significant government concessions are the special consideration given to the Isle of Wight and the provision for public hearings on boundary review proposals, both of which made it onto the statute book.
The asymmetrical nature of the Bill means that the provisions relating to the reduction in the number of MPs and the redrawing of constituency boundaries will take effect in 2015 regardless of the result of the referendum on AV. A 'yes' vote in the referendum, however, will only lead to a change in the voting system once boundary changes have been implemented.

"Raw" is the title of mp3 albums released by Hopsin on 2010. The mp3 songs on Hopsin - Raw (2010) albums classified as a Rap music albums.
Full mp3 album downloads Hopsin - Raw (2010) rather than download single track is also available for free on this page.
Give your support for Hopsin great works on Raw mp3 albums with purchase the original copies. Share this mp3 album with your friends.
It would probably be easier if we told you what Hopsin doesn't do, but Hop is an MC, producer, director, actor, porn star and editor. And his journey has been anything but painless.
Like many kids, Hopsin wanted to be "cool" and bang clueless women. But as hard as he tried, he never graduated past being that "weird black kid" that rode around on a skateboard. He tried to get attention by making people laugh, but he always ended up being the butt of the joke. He wrote songs for girls to get them to like him, but got no love.
Stuck in special education classes, Hopsin did not see much of a future. His teachers did nothing but reinforce the feelings that he wouldn't amount to anything; especially if he continued to waste his time attending classes where nothing was actually being taught. So with no money and only a few real friends, Hopsin dropped out of school in 2004.
Despite the lack of support from anyone but himself, Hopsin knew that his raw talent to rhyme would one day allow him to spit in the face of all of his critics. In the meantime, however, he had to find a way to make money. He thought his goofiness would translate to an acting career so he auditioned for several roles. The only role that he was ever able to obtain was as a "day player" on Disney's That's So Raven. He thought things were looking up from there, but nothing seemed to come through after that.

Polson Cabin Rental Photos and Description
Quiet lakefront, pier w/boat lift, sleeps 2-4, FREE kayaks, wifi, cable, pool
This romantic 450 square foot cabin was built with couples in mind, but it can accommodate a relaxing personal retreat or small family vacation just as well.
The cabin has a full kitchen stocked with dishware, pots & pans, utensils, microwave, and coffee pot.
Bath linens are provided in the full size bathroom with tiled whirlpool garden tub and shower.
In its private bedroom is a queen sized, modern meets rustic log bed casually dressed in down comforters with lots of pillows that looks out over the lake at the east shore and Mission Mountains through a large picture window.
A cozy living area with recliner sofa and rocking chair, cable television, WiFi, and a potbellied wood burning fireplace that is supplied with plenty of firewood. It faces the lake through a large picture window and sliding glass door that leads to a covered redwood deck with an electric grill and table for four - just the spot to spend an evening stargazing under the northwest Montana Big Sky and the perfect backdrop for creating lifelong memories of your Flathead Lake get-away!
The cabin is sitting on 12 acres and is shared with our Swan Hill Bed and Breakfast. You will have access to a private boat dock, paddle boat and kayaks, fire-pits and benches, a wooden porch swing, trails, and countless moments to simply rest and take refuge from the business of life. No doubt you will be delighted by the frequent sightings of eagles, Ospreys, White-tailed deer, and other local wildlife. A short 100 yard hike and you are welcomed to the Swan Hill Bed and Breakfast where you can take a dip in the heated pool and unwind in the sauna.
Most major bank and credit cards accepted for payment.

- Long-term Renters Welcome

Why Donald and Kimberly Walker chose Polson
There is really no way to explain how beautiful Swan Hill is with words and do it justice. The Mission Mountains and natural surroundings are unbelievably beautiful. Flathead Lake is extraordinarily special. We often tell people, 'God has a special purpose in bringing you here to Flathead Lake. We are pretty sure it is the best kept secret in America.' COME! See if we are not telling you the truth!
What makes this cabin unique
Breathable PEACE! :)
The swing under the deck facing the Mission Mountains.
Our pier that is right outside the back door.
The large picture window in bedroom that, when in the bed, gives the appearance and feel that one is floating on water.
Eastward facing sliding glass doors and windows are throughout the house allowing for amazing views of the sunrise and interestingly enough the sunSETS, too, as the reflection on and off the mountains of the sun setting in the west makes for STUNNING colors - like 'purple mountain majesty' kind!
There are many windows on three sides of this cabin allowing the lake breeze to flow.

The Supreme Court of the State of Connecticut ruled 4-3 on October 10 that same sex marriage must be allowed in that state. The case was initiated by eight homosexual couples in Connecticut over four years ago, and was spearheaded by attorneys from Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD).
Religious leaders in California representing many different denominations have issued calls to their congregations to fast and pray, asking God's blessing on their efforts to help passage of Proposition 8.
The Baylor Religion Survey, which was released by researchers with the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, on September 11, revealed that a majority of American still hold some pretty traditional beliefs — including a belief in guardian angels.
California's Proposition 4 supports parental notification for abortion for minor girls. It will be on the ballot in November, setting up another battle of parents versus Planned Parenthood.
In 2000, California voters overwhelmingly adopted (by over 61 percent) Proposition 22 to establish that "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Homosexual activists immediately challenged the new law.

Targets one of TV's most viewed nights, Thursdays
ALSO READ: The CW Announces Its Fall Schedule.
The CW Network wants to become a significant player on one of TV's most viewed nights, Thursdays.
To that end, next season it will pair its new action-adventure drama, "Nikita," with this year's freshman hit drama "Vampire Diaries." CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said "Nikita" tested "through the roof" with both young male and female audiences.
And they're not just after viewers. Rob Tuck, head of ad sales at the CW, said he expects "pairing those two shows together will bring more advertisers to the night."
Also outlined at the upfront was another method of bringing advertisers to the network: an aggressive online program.
Thursday is a key night for movie companies, retailers and fast food restaurants that want to reach consumers prior to the weekends.
And while the CW overall has a more targeted young female audience, those two shows should indeed broaden viewership.
The network will still not have the mass audiences as the Big Four, but it will have what can be called a "mass targeted audience of 18-34 year olds," which is traditionally harder to reach.
"Nikita" is about a young woman who is a spy and assassin for a top secret U.S. government agency but who rebels against the agency and tries to bring it down — while they are trying to bring her in. Maggie Q, ("Mission: Impossible II," "Live Free or Die Hard") has the title role.
Ostroff is excited about the possibilities of Thursday night and its impact on the network's ratings overall.
"We've been trying to develop a female-empowering action show since we started the CW four years ago," Ostroff said.
The other new show picked up by the CW for next season is "Hellcats," a drama about a female pre-law student who loses her scholarship and has to join the college's cheerleading squad, where she clashes with several of the squad's existing female members. It's paired to lead out of another top-rated CW show, "America's Next Top Model" on Wednesday night.
The CW positioned itself at its upfront presentation Thursday as "TV for Generation D" — the digital generation. In thatregard, it said it will begin a heavy push to sell advertisers ad packages that not only include TV but every one one of its streamed shows online.
"Our audience doesn't distinguish between TV and digital," Tuck said. "We brought the idea of selling digital convergence packages along with TV ads to the ad community beginning in January, and they were responsive, and then we geared up the discussions in March. The biggest concern was how to measure and charge for streaming viewership — and we think we've solved that."
Every CW show will be streamed online 72 hours after it airs on the TV network and in this upfront his sales team will sell 15- and 30-second commercials that can be placed in any of the shows.
"We upgraded our online video player to be able to more easily insert these commercials in," he said. "And our entire schedule next fall will be streamed. This is something advertisers have asked for, and we think the response will be good."
The CW needs to find ways to reach online audiences because that's the way its younger viewers consume media, he said. Nielsen TV ratings data shows that the typical CW viewer watches more programming on a percentage basis than viewers of any of the competing Big Four networks,
Ostroff said returning drama "90210" is "the most DVR'd show on television with its live plus-7-day rating double it's live TV rating. So while the show does a smaller rating in live plus-3, the currency that TV commercial time is bought at in the upfronts, smart advertisers will realize that the CW viewing audience is much larger."
The networkhas paired its shows to smartly sell specific nights to advertisers in the upfront next season.
On Mondays, it's pairing "90210" at 8 with its most "buzzed about" show, "Gossip Girl" at 9. Both skew high in 18-34 females.
On Tuesday night, it's pairing veteran drama "One Tree Hill" at 8, with "Life Unexpected" at 9. The latter show came on in mid-season paired with "One Tree Hill" this year and started to find its legs as the season went along. Both shows skew female but also draw young men and skew a little older.
"Top Model" at 8 on Wednesday has a broader audience, too, but seems like a good lead-in for the probable female skewing new show "Hellcats."
"Smallville," entering its10th and final season, will return at 8 p.m. on Fridays, leading into "Supernatural," which moved from Thursdays at 9 to make room for "Nikita."
Ostroff said the network only ordered 13 episodes each of "One Tree Hill" and "Life Unexpected" instead of the full season order of 22. And he indicated that if either show falters, the network has several scripted shows in development that could be put on — though she would not identify them.

United States Steel Corp (NYSE:X)
Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel is an integrated steel producer, running steel mills, making steel products, and selling steel to carmakers, builders, and others who need steel.
Steel companies in the U.S. in particular are making a comeback after being annihilated. International players like MT are still in free-fall over the European debt crisis. However, U.S. is breaking out of the bottom of it's October price. As far as I know, though i haven't researched it too carefully, we will still use the steel to construct buildings until some time into the science fiction future :P

Mars orbiter finds remains of pioneering Soviet Mars 3 probe
A crowdsourcing effort by Russian space enthusiasts appears to have found the remains of the first probe to successfully land on Mars, using images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The Mars 3 mission, consisting of a satellite and landing vehicle, was sent to the Red Planet by the then-Soviet Union in 1971 and …
On a level with the UK's "Beagle" effort.
Come to think of it, the Soviet Union and Blighty also both managed to seriously blow out nuclear reactors.
More in common than one would at first think.
On a level with the UK's "Beagle" effort.
Isn't Beagle significantly deeper?
Wait. When did we have a blow out of nuclear reactors? Did I sleep through something this morning?
UK leads the way...
Re: UK leads the way...
I think Windscale was actually considerably smaller than Chernobyl, Fukushima or Kyshtym. Depends how you rate the severity.
As far as I know there were no direct fatalities unlike SL-1 meltdown and there have been at least two nuclear stuff related fatalities at Los-Alamos (both in the US) so it's more on par with 3-mile (also US).
So no, the radioactive woopsy club is not an exclusive Anglo-Russo monopoly.
Boffin icon because you must wear goggles, the goggles will save you.
Re: UK leads the way...
McBain disagrees
Re: UK leads the way...
I remember a TV program about this the other year. The lead scientist was quite rightly pissed off because his political masters had allowed the accident to be blamed on the scientists, when in reality they were being told to advance their experiments too quickly. (We had to keep up in the atom bomb race.)
His description of the politicians has always stuck in my mind: "shower of bastards."
Atom-bomb logo for obvious reasons.
It is pretty fuckin cool when Russian volunteer citizens can use U.S. govt property to remotely explore Mars & find lost spacecraft!
It wasn't too long ago when the very thought of letting the Damn Commies access our satellite photography would land you on the naughty list.
Re: Neat
Cool indeed. Standing in Red Square was a strange experience for someone brought up in the cold war.
On a side note is "crowd sourcing" another term for communism?
No pics of short chaps in cowls carrying bits away as scrap!
Re: Dissapointed
...but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers
I expect they're sheltering in the WWII Bomber that was found on Mars.
Re: WWII
That was found on the MOON, not Mars.
I believe the US Airforce explained it as a simple navigation error on the way back from bombing Hamburg - Should have gone to SpecSavers????
Re the Russian lander - any sign of tracks left by the Martian Tripods yet?? We all know they are the reason all the earlier probes failed so mysteriously.
tracks left by the Martian Tripods yet?
Nah. That'd be a million-to-one surely?
If it had any wheels
What's the bet they've been nicked?
Do they have similar pictures of the Cydonia region yet?
Re: Musing...
Cydonia was pareidolia at it's finest, they've had high resolution scans of that region for some time now, nothing but rocks after all! There is however a smiley face in Galle Crater!
The NASA or Wikipedia page has some good comparison images of the Cydonia Mesa:
Unfortunately searching for "Cydonia" on Google very quickly leads you into the weirder parts of the internet where Richard Hoagland is king.
The first photo from Mars
Clearly depicts millions of Grasshopper like beings culling each other!
That's why there are none left now, after seeing where their new invader had crashed in from; the thought of becoming part of a culture that had to queue three days for a loaf of bread made them self destruct.
Re: The first photo from Mars
It's clearly a bunny rabbit.
Re: The first photo from Mars
I don't see any rabbit?
Perhaps the retro rocket was not vewy quiet?
Re: The first photo from Mars
Yes, I can see them... Jumping! Leaping! It were 'orrible!
Re: The first photo from Mars
It's a level from Lemmings
Wow. This is a wonderful find. I would love to imagine a Kerbal Space Program type "rescue" mission to reactivate the rovers. But I think that would be a long way off, as until we get regular trips to Mars, there will be little ability to recover these.
Man, have you not seen any sci-fi movies or shows. You never reactivate probes you find in other planets. One could argue they shouldn't be opened either but certainly not reactivated.
I would love for this to happen.
XKCD 695 put a lump in my throat.
One day we will have a museum on Mars, chronicling our efforts to explore it.
School children will be in awe of the antiquated technology.
'Why didn't they simply use fusion drive rockets?' they will inquire of Alfred the venerable tour guide.
Nuke 'em
We have to nuke those old probes from orbit, it's the only way to be sure....
I'm looking for
three circles moving erily across the lander and Capain Black re-appearing
I knew it!
And they told me all those years of playing "Where's Ivan?" would never pay off....
Next on the list--Dr. Manhattan's doomsday clock and summer palace!!
Just look for a smiley-face shaped crater!!

Hey Everyone
Since, KAA is getting quiet boring these days, I decided to write a little fan-fic, there are a few changes to the story: Anupam is not in love with Ipshitta, and he lives at the Kapoor mansion, he was adopted by Mahen when he was very young, but Nikhila does not like him at all. Shiv is friendly with him, but only b/c his father wants him to be, not b/c he is actually very found of him. As well there is no kundali etc etc.... please read it and let me know if you wish for me to continue, btw the story is told from Gauri point of view...and Shiv is played by old Shiv
Time Travel
The wedding day, suppose to be one of the best days in a girl's life, turned into her worst? How does it happen? It happens if the man you are about to marry, is in love with someone else and you know it, but can't do anything about it. How it happened to me, you ask� Well to answer that we will have to start from the very beginning. I will have to take you back into time. So if you are ready fasten your seat belts and hold tight�
We are breaking all barriers of logic and science, as we travel back through space and time� whoooosshhhhh�.whoooooshhhhh� Okay okay, I'll cut out the sound effects, I think you get enough sound effects anyways with a certain someone's k-shows�
Okay so here we are. There I am wrapped in a tiny little baby pink blanket, giggling. Don't I look so cute, cuddly and beautiful? I always knew I was special. I am just so cute; all the baby boys are looking at me. Wait a minute; those are not my parents? Why are they picking me up? Oh opps, I am actually the baby beside the cute baby. *Insert nervous laugh here*. Let's just fast-forward this part, who cares about a bunch of babies anyways. Ok so here we are, aww, my father is looking at my report card, and he looks so proud his eyes are welling up with tears of joy. Oh, he is bending down to kiss me. Wait a minute! That is my younger sister Kaya! It's not my report card he is holding. *Ahem* fast-forward. There I am setting up a prank, and then falling for it myself. Right. Fast-forward. Hey look I am getting an award on sports day! Let's get a closer look on the trophy and see what I got it for. "A special award for effort, (for coming last in four races consecutively)". Okay, that's it. Fast forward, fast forward, fast forward.
Aha! Stop! We are finally here! My college. And look there I am. What? You can't see me? Okay, you see that girl with the lovely long hair, the beautiful glowing skin, the perfectly manicured hands, and the perfect make-up on her face. Yes! Yes, the girl with the name-brand clothes. Okay now look to her left; you will see a girl with a funky hair-style, with blue and pink highlights in her hair, black nail polish on her finger nails, neon pink t-shirt. Yes! Yes, her, the one who has heavy eye-liner on. Look directly in front of her. There I am. Which one? Come on guys, the one with her hair high in a short little pony tail? A white t-shirt with different paints smeared all over, with a red long sleeve shirt underneath? Blue jean ripped at the knees, and not because I bought them that way, just because they are my favourite pair and I wear them so much. There is rip on the jeans at the back as well, but it is has been stitched back, with a pink cloth, cut into the shape of heart. You see me! Finally!
So here we are in my college, I am doing fashion designing by the way. Can't tell from my clothes! You can't! Well I am still a student okay, learning. And I am only in first year, lot more to learn. Anyways� Oh! By the way the two girls that I told you about earlier that were walking slightly behind me are my two best friends. Geets and Jits. Well that is what I call them; their real names are Geetanjali, the one with the long hair and Jitendra, the one with the short hair. Yes, Jitendra, you heard right. Don't know what her parents were thinking giving their daughter a boy's name, but it happens.
Now you must be thinking why you are here at my college, because in about five seconds you will see a big black car roll into the college, the door of the car will open and a most dashing and a bit too good looking guy will step out of it. Five, four, three, two, one� There he is. There he is stepping out, taking off his sunglasses, and acting like he owns the college. Gosh, he is already getting on my nerves; I mean could he be anymore perfect with his good looks and all. Annoying! Now, you must be wondering, why I am talking about him. Oh by the way his name is Shiv, Shiv Kapoor. Son of a really big business man, hence their family is very rich. All the girl's in my college day-dream about him� blah blah blah �same old story of the rich brat. Do I have a crush on him, you are asking? Ha! No way! I mean, of course I can't deny his good looks or that he is just so dreamy�.. *sigh* �but to like him! No way! Never! We both live in completely different worlds, which will never meet. At least that is what I used to think.
Oh yes, why am I telling you about him? Well because, even though I don't know it yet, he is the one I am getting married to.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Nevada's state tourism commission has agreed
to a $600,000 sponsorship of the National Championship Air Races to make sure the 49th annual competition goes forward in Reno in
Commissioners voted unanimously Thursday in support of the money
that air race organizers said they needed to make a final insurance
payment. The insurance premium jumped from $300,000 to $2 million
after last year's tragic crash killed 11 and injured more than 70.
Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, who chairs the tourism commission, says
they will negotiate details of the sponsorship in the coming weeks.
Krolicki says the air races are important not only to northern
Nevada but the entire state. He says they create a significant
economic impact and generate worldwide exposure of the region.

"I don't think from now until Wednesday we will have worked out all the details of these leverage options," Juncker said today in an interview in Brussels. "I expect no major decision tomorrow from heads of state" at a first summit.
"But that's not really satisfying for markets, I have to say," Juncker said.

Cleveland's Vacancies are yet another group that's walking the ledge of genuine unpredictability in a day and age of cut-and-serve pretentiousness. For this reason, their decidedly unpretentious howl comes off like the gospel -- even if it's the gospel you've heard 8 million times before. As their name denotes, their stance is decidedly dead-end, and their sound is the crash and burn of a wasted youth coming to fruition as early adulthood. The band is definitely aware of the glorious punk legacy it is following in the path of -- the Dead Boys, in particular -- but, at the same time, they're less self-consciously "retro" than other "rock revival" bands like the Agenda, the Mooney Suzuki, and the White Stripes.
The title track urges "I can't stand up for falling down" and is almost metallic in its scissoring riff patterns, but the Vacancies aren't just another tuneless bunch of rivetheads cranking it up without any thought to musical dynamics (just listen to "Burn"'s dancing bass line). As the anthemic "Saturday Saints" -- an almost-Wayne Kramer bout of tuneful righteous indignation -- proves, the Vacancies are capable of standing on the front line of current rock standards. "Hellbelow" is a perfect example of the band's incendiary full-throttle approach, and it's been a long time since anyone's done anything like "Get Love," where every riff, lick, and melodic nuance is used to build maximum excitement. This is the whole meaning of rock 'n' roll, and the Vacancies-like peers the Agenda, the Points, and the Pattern understand this. Once again, faster/louder holds all the keys.

The purpose of this study was to examine factors predicting the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms after a traumatic event, the 1991 Oakland/Berkeley firestorm. The major predictive factors of interest were dissociative, anxiety, and loss of personal autonomy symptoms reported in the immediate aftermath of the fire; contact with the fire; and life stressors before and after the fire.Subjects were recruited from several sources so that they would vary in their extent of contact with the fire. Of 187 participants who completed self-report measures about their experiences in the aftermath of the firestorm, 154 completed a follow-up assessment. Of these 154 subjects, 97% completed the follow-up questionnaires 7-9 months after the fire. The questionnaires included measures of posttraumatic stress and life events since the fire.Dissociative and loss of personal autonomy symptoms experienced in the fire's immediate aftermath, as well as stressful life experiences occurring later, significantly predicted posttraumatic stress symptoms measured 7-9 months after the firestorm by a civilian version of the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and the Impact of Event Scale. Dissociative symptoms more strongly predicted posttraumatic symptoms than did anxiety and loss of personal autonomy symptoms. Intrusive thinking differs from other kinds of posttraumatic symptoms in being related directly to the trauma and previous stressful life events.These findings suggest that dissociative symptoms experienced in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic experience and subsequent stressful experiences are indicative of risk for the later development of posttraumatic stress symptoms. Such measures may be useful as screening procedures for identifying those most likely to need clinical care to help them work through their reactions to the traumatic event and to subsequent stressful experiences.
