In what is likely my best 15|0 result ever, I managed to swindle a draw off a CM. This was admittedly after several bad decisions including an exchange sac with likely no grounds whatsoever. Still, a draw is a draw, and I'm unashamed by it. :D
I like that, well spotted.

My Boyfriend Hates My Parents
We already shared an awkward story about meeting the parents for the first time. Yeah, your dad may have a thing or two to say to your new suitor ("What are you doing later?" -BF "Oh, just cleaning my gun!" -Dad), but what about the flipside—when your boyfriend doesn't like your family.
Check out one Shecky's Staffer's story and let us know what your boyfriend thinks of your whacky (oh come on, like Aunt Edna's penchant for stilettos is normal at age 80!) family.
"When we finally meet the guy who could be the 'one,' we all have that same fantasy—he'll be tossing the football around with our brothers, chatting stocks with our fathers and charming our mothers by helping around the house. I indulged in this dream myself, convinced my picture-perfect fam would embrace my Southern gent of a man with open arms. I was wrong.
For months I just couldn't understand why my boyfriend felt so unwelcome (sure, they were protective, but it wasn't like they outright ignored him…or did they?). Then I started to resent him. Sick of hearing him complain, I started to think that maybe my fam was onto something. On the flipside, I also started to question my family, taking a look at all the flaws I hadn't seen until my boyfriend pointed them out.
For so long I tried to force a relationship between them, convinced that they would eventually bond (I loved them all so it only made sense that they'd eventually all love each other, right?), but I finally realized that the only person who was suffering in the situation was…me! Once I was able to leave things alone, to let go of the idea that everything had to be perfect, everything settled into a comfortable status quo.
There are two things I learned from this ordeal. One, my family is crazy (yours is too, don't deny it) and no, I don't mean in the Norman Bates sense. But every family has their own idiosyncrasies, their own ways of expressing themselves that seem perfectly normal for those in the situation, but completely…baffling to an outsider. The second lesson—it doesn't matter what your family thinks of your boyfriend or vice versa! After all, why do you think in-laws get such a bad rep? Just because someone is right for you, doesn't mean they are right for your family (or that your family will think they are right for you.) Would it have been nice if my happy football fantasy had come true…of course, but we can't all be the Brady Bunch (and even that family had some trouble with the football part…)."
TELL US NOW! Does your boyfriend or husband get along with your family or is it more like a family feud? Tell us your gripes, we need some support!

Me and my family have always had issues. Big drama has come along recently but we worked through it. Only problem is, now my boy hates them because they have said some things about him and also his family, in the mix of all the drama between me and my family I feel they said things as a defense. But now my boyfriend is being very unforgiving. He doesn't want anything to do with them and also doesn't want them around our kid. Honestly, I've had to put up with his parents, and they've also said things about me but I knew I had to deal since now we are all connected through our child. What do I do? They want to see they're grand kid of crouse but I am sick of fighting with him. He says he's leaving me and taking our kid with him if I let him be around my parents. If only I had thought of that when we lived closer to his family. Just help. That is all.
My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half and my boyfriend has tried to get along with my parents but they are complete opposites. They literally hate eachother… it sucks because I really wish they would get along and I never want to have to choose between the guy I love and my parents. My parents have a lot of flaws but they are my parents and regardless I love them. I somewhat get along with his mother, but I don't exactly like her just like he doesn't like my parents. He always wants me to say something to my parents about their ways but I'm so used to them that is like I dont want to start an argument since we do both live with my father. I hate it so much & I really don't know what to do anymore. Its like they rip me apart and it makes me really upset, especially now more that I am pregnant. Sigh, I just wish they would get along.
My boyfriend and I are both 20, soon to be 21. We've been together for roughly 4 1/2 months. For the past 4 1/2 months, he has felt like he doesn't fit in with my family. This morning, because of my lack of judgement, he overheard a conversation I had with my dad because I had left my mic on on Skype. In this conversation, my dad told me that he and my mom both liked my boyfriend, but my mom felt he was 'drippy' or that he would stand around just looking like he was staring into the abyss. One thing about my boyfriend, he is very quiet and shy – the exact opposite of my family who are loud and obnoxious. I love my boyfriend for everything he is, flaws and all. He needs some more time to open up to my family and get used to the loud, obnoxiousness they possess. I am also a bit loud and obnoxious but I feel like we balance each other out. So anyway, my boyfriend overhears this conversation because I was a complete idiot and now thinks my parents don't like him at all and he feels they were making fun of him and that they never really liked him. My boyfriend can be sensitive sometimes but I understand why he feels the way he does. I'm upset that my parents would say something like that about him, but I'm also hurt that now my boyfriend won't feel comfortable in my home and won't want to be here anymore. I have fallen in love with my boyfriend and I don't want something like this to ruin what we have.
My boyfriend who's 16 and me, 15,
have only been dating for about a month or two and He came over and met my parents once. He instantly hated my dad and was okay with my mom until my parents caught us kissing. Now most parents don't care but mine are super over protective
So anyway they got all angry and disappointed my dad won't let him set foot in my house ever again and my mom just does whatever my dad says. I was talking to my bf and everytime I bring up my parents saying I wanna go out this weekend we just gotta work around my parents he gets really angry he doesn't do anything about it and he tries to hide
his anger but I know it's there. He keeps disrespecting my family and I don't think he realizes it's bothering me and even tho I do love him it's bothering me because I don't like him saying your dad can't control you and I really f***ing hate him and a lot of mean stuff I'm not sure if I should risk arguing about things like this so early in our relationship because I don't want to lose him. I need some advice! What should I do?
Sarah Koenig:
I have been with my now fiancé eight years and my parents and him have had their ups and downs and now due work and my no car situation im at his parents house living. Which would be fine if he would just make an effort to go see my family once in awhile. It hurts but I love him and I know he loves me just wish he wanted to be.with my parents too:/
Ny Boyfriend HATES My Parents! And My Parents Hate Him Too. And I've Always Agreed With My Boyfriend Because They're Too Over Protective, Too Judgemental, And Too Angry All The Time. And Protrecting Me From What?? From Guys Hurting Me, When My Parents Are Hurting Me Even More Than I Would From A Guy? To Me, Its Bullshit.
My boyfriend and my parents don't get along at all. It makes me sad because my parents can't see that he's a good guy and he can't see that my parents just want the absolute best for me. After a recent fight between them over a Facebook post my boyfriend is refusing to be civil about it and demanded an apology which is not going to happen. Now he's ignoring me because I was defending them when he was saying some really nasty things about my family. He doesn't want to talk about it anymore but meanwhile it's killing me, I feel like an ass, and I'm losing sleep. I'm just lost about this whole thing.
I know how this feels. My mom used to hate my boyfriend, so she sent me off to Texas while my boyfriend lives in Wisconsin.. I'm 17 years old, and I'm in love with him, but I was taken away from him for two and a half months without any contact so we had to separate. I finally got back to Wisconsin and found out that my mom is totally fine with my boyfriend now after all the hell she put me, and the guy I love, through.. Now, the guy I love and I both love each other still so very much, but the problem is now that he doesn't wanna date me again because he doesn't want my mom to be in his life and neither do I, but I don't know what to do or say. I love his family and his family loves me but they don't like my mom either.. Someone help? I'll be 18 in a couple days..
My bf is a nice guy, but when we fought, I would tell my parents. I'm only 13 and so is he, but my parents don't even know him and they hate him! It's not fair! They need to stay out of my business and be happy that I'm happy! Right?
grow up and stop telling your parents about every fight you have with him. if you would stop making him look like the bad guy by telling them about your fights, maybe they would like him. and you say they need to stay out of your business, well you are the one putting them in your business by telling them about every stupid little fight you have. and honesty, you are 13 years old. you are not mature enough to be in a relationship and I can garuntee that the guy you are dating now is not the one you are gonna marry. you are way too young for that.
My ex's family hated me because I wasn't the same religion as them! So ignorant! That's why he's the ex!!
Thankfully everybody gets along which is wonderful.
It doesn't matter what your family thinks of your boyfriend. I'm 17 and my boyfriend is 21. My boyfriend HATES my family but that's because I hate most of them too. They dislike people just because they're judgmental and very arrogant. They don't even want to meet my boyfriend. I love him a lot and he loves me. He doesn't have to love my family. I feel like my family is jealous because he's, "stealing", me away from them. Anyways, it's my life and he makes me happy so my family should really be happy for me. My family is obviously dysfunctional…
my husband does get along w/ my parents. my mom is a little controlling—like will rearrange the china cabinet. but we just laugh it off now. my dad loves to come over and help us out w/ yardwork and landscaping. i think my husband really appreciates the help.
You need to know set boundaries btwn these two relationships, if not thats how everything begins to collide. Family tends to put themselves in your buisiness more than they should
1 thing I learned is to keep my Parents out your business about what any fights or bad times with your BF…The y start to look at your BF wrong and make situation awkward when he comes around… learning the hard way….::Sigh::
My honey and my family get along great!!! No quams there…but it is quite different the other way around….
My boyfriend and my Family get along pretty well so far. However my dad and step-mom live in Denver and we live in L.A. My mom lives out here and they try to get along. She thinks he isn't motivated enough and hates when he borrows my car. He thinks she's a little nuts, and he's right. I love them both though. So what can I say. We're working through it. We tend to all have fun together though!!!! =)
My boyfriend and family totally get along, though I'll admit it wasn't easy breezy from the beginning. I've always been someone to try to integrate my friends from different walks of life together, so when I started getting serious with my guy I knew that I wanted him to get along with my fam. It's not that it was ever really bad, but it was certainly awkward at first, just because everyone was trying so hard. Once I talked to both my family and my guy (separately) and told them to just be themselves (to an extent!), they realized they could genuinely get along and it's been a great situation ever since.

Hub reopens three weeks after fire
Date: March 1, 2012
by: Observer Staff
Chris Brown, owner of The Hub Baja Grill in Siesta Village, reported that the restaurant passed all its inspections Tuesday and was ready to reopen for lunchtime Wednesday, 22 days after an early-morning fire caused extensive smoke damage in the building.
No one was injured in the Feb.1 incident.
A malfunctioning cooler caused the fire, which was confined to the kitchen,, the Sarasota County Fire Department reported. Employees of The Cottage, an adjacent restaurant Brown also owns, spotted smoke coming from The Hub and called 911.
Brown said construction crews gutted the building "and put it back together … They worked 17- to 18-hour days, seven days a week."

LOS ANGELES – Malcolm Lee, UCLA's defensive specialist, showed he can get it done on the other end as well, leading the Bruins to a 64-54 Pac-10 victory against previously red-hot Oregon at Pauley Pavilion on Thursday night.
Lee pumped in a season-high 25 points, 14 coming in the second half when the Bruins (17-7, 8-3) overcame an Oregon lead midway through the second half. It was UCLA's fourth consecutive victory and its eighth in its past nine games.
"That was an absolutely huge win for us tonight," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "I was really worried about this game with the emotion of the two games last week."
But UCLA showed no sign of a letdown after last week's 64-50 victory against USC and a 66-59 triumph over St. John's in former Bruins coach Steve Lavin's return to Pauley.
The Ducks came into Thursday night's game having won four of their previous five games and averaging 71 points per game in that stretch.
But UCLA held Oregon to 34.6 percent shooting from the field in the second half, 39.6 for the game. UCLA's double-team on Oregon forward Joevan Catron held the Pac-10 Player of the Week to 5-of-13 shooting from the field for 15 points.
"There's two things you have to do on the road, and that's play defense and rebound," Oregon coach Dana Altman said.
Oregon did neither.
UCLA dominated the paint, outrebounding the Ducks, 41-28, and outscoring Oregon, 34-20, in the lane, which enabled the Bruins to shoot 53.6 percent from the field in the second half.
"I thought the rebounding margin was big," Howland said.
"The defense and rebounding really let us down tonight," Catron said. "They just had too many second-chance opportunities. They really got us in transition, which got the crowd into the game."
Bruins forward Tyler Honeycutt finished with a game-high 13 rebounds, 10 on the defensive end in addition to six assists and a blocked shot. Nine of Honeycutt's rebounds came in the second half.
"I thought Honeycutt had a great second half," Howland said.
UCLA point guard Lazeric Jones dished out six assists and contributed 10 points and two steals despite playing with a sprained left wrist.
Bruins guard Jerime Anderson also added 10 key points off the bench.

PHILADELPHIA — The Argentinian ambassador to the United States is optimistic that the decade-long U.S. ban on lemons from his country will end next year, a move that would be boon to the Greater Philadelphia region.
The U.S. banned Argentinian citrus imports in 2001 because of concerns over two plant diseases that trade officials said could hurt domestic crops. Argentina, the top global lemon producer, ships its citrus products all over the world, including Europe, said Jorge Arguello, Argentina's ambassador to the U.S., on Friday. This shows that the U.S. ban is more about shielding domestic lemon producers, rather than protecting American consumers, he said.
"We are optimistic (the citrus ban will be lifted) because the general numbers in bilateral trade have only grown in a very clear way since 2003 up to today," he said. The solution for the Argentina trade deficit with the U.S. "is not to buy less from the U.S. but to be able to sell more."
Arguello said trade between the two countries has more than doubled over the last decade, and trade is expected to hit a record of more than $14 billion by the end of the year.
Argentina is also working to convince the U.S. to lift an import ban on its much-prized beef. That ban went into effect in 2001 after a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in the previous year. Although frozen and cooked Argentinian meat is allowed into the U.S., raw meat is banned.
The lifting of either ban would likely further solidify the Port of Philadelphia as the major U.S. gateway for Argentinian produce imports. Roughly a third of Argentina's exports of dairy products, food preparations, fruits, vegetables, nuts and other food times enter the U.S. through Philadelphia terminals. The Argentine Embassy and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce announced on Friday their plan to create a bilateral chamber to further promote trade between the South American country and the northeastern U.S. A morning breakfast for Arguello on Friday was hosted by the chamber, the Martime Exchange of the Delaware River and Bay, and Ship Philly First, a group devoted to promoting the Port of Philadelphia.
Dennis Rochford, president of the Maritime Exchange for the Delaware River and Bay, said his group has also been pressuring U.S. officials to lift citrus import restrictions. He estimated that more than 500 of the 2,200 vessels that call on the port annually unload fruit and other produce goods.
"We are the ideal entrance for fruit and fresh produce," Rochford said. "Our stevedoring companies have shown their success in handling those breakbulk and container cargoes."
The U.S. Trade Representative's Office defended the ban on beef and lemon imports from Argentina in August, saying the rules were science-based and followed World Trade Organization requirements, according to Reuters. The statement came after Argentina filed a request with the WTO for consultations with the U.S. over the bans.

Farmers Insurance and State of Texas Reach Tentative Deal on Mold Claims
AUSTIN, Texas -- The state of Texas and Farmers Insurance want to settle decade-old claims of overcharging and underserving customers for $117.5 million, which would be one of the largest insurance settlements in state history but less than what some people wanted.
A proposal filed in Travis County District Court is expected to be reviewed by a judge in January, The Dallas Morning News reported Saturday.(http://dallasne.ws/1cyp1XW).
If it's approved, Farmers would pay out the money in refunds and credits to Texas policyholders between 2000 and 2003. The agreement has the approval of both state insurance officials and Farmers executives.
"It's been a long time coming and we are looking forward to helping Texas policyholders get the refunds they deserve," Insurance Commissioner Julia Rathgeber said.The deal is nearly identical to an agreement reached in 2003, which was held up by a group of Farmers customers who said it wasn't enough. "It was a sweetheart deal for Farmers 10 years ago, and it is still a sweetheart deal today," said Alex Winslow, of the consumer organization Texas Watch. "It appears that the commissioner and attorney general are just rubber-stamping a bad deal for consumers." The Texas Department of Insurance had accused Farmers of overcharging customers and cutting coverage in the wake of spiraling claims of mold in homes statewide. The state said some customers didn't get discounts they were supposed to receive, and others paid more for auto and home insurance because Farmers looked at inaccurate credit reports. Farmers would countersue. A decade later, it will admit no wrongdoing as part of the settlement, and it will not pay any interest on the money paid to customers. "Closure of this case has been delayed since 2003 due to appeals filed by a small number of plaintiffs," Farmers spokesman Mark Toohey told the newspaper. "Since the settlement agreement was first announced in this case more than 10 years ago, Farmers Insurance has been and continues to be strongly committed to its finalization." Farmers is the third-largest insurer of homes in Texas.

Safe Crossing for Children on West Street

Where to go on holiday in June? Visit Kyrenia, Cyprus
Situated just outside the Eurozone, Northern Cyprus promises warm weather, history and culture in equal measure. The harbour city of Kyrenia combines ancient ruins with sandy beaches and stunning scenery. Talk a stroll through the old town, with its whitewashed buildings and crumbling towers, before heading to the newer part of the city when night falls. Here you'll find restaurants and taverns serving some of the finest kebabs in the Med, made with chunks of salty halloumi and grilled chicken.

Get the fuck outa here with that shit!!! Diamond is a dope brand and he even states that some his stuff is parody, it don't matter to me as long as that shit is still ill i will be buying. Stick to your gay ass kick tees from My gente! You fucking poser!
The only shirts I have EVER made that were done by someone
else was the Mike Giant script and The Misfits parody.
Out of the 100's of diamond shirts that have dropped since 1998,
I didn't design only 3 of them.
The only shirt that we have run for years is the OG Logo tee and the Mike Giant that you posted.

It's a Dodger game. Seats were great, price was great, and we all had fun. Parking is $15, but apparently that is not enough to staff the lot with attendants and flashlights to expedite your trip home. It took us 45 minutes to get out of the lot. I suppose that is the price you pay when you stay for the fireworks.

So You Want to Do a Project about Inertia!
To demonstrate how inertia affects the motion of an object.
- Small raw egg
- Timer
- Helper
CAUTION: After handling raw eggs, wash your hands and any materials touched by the eggs. Raw eggs can contain harmful bacteria.
Record the time in a Raw Egg Spin Data table like the one shown.
- Place the egg on a table. Once the egg is stationary, watch it for several seconds.
- Give the egg a gentle spin and then release it. Observe its motion.
- Spin the egg again and ask a helper to time the spin. When you say "go," your helper will start timing and you will start the egg spinning.
- Repeat step 4 three times. Make an effort to spin the egg with the same amount of force for each test. Average the spin times of the four tests.
The egg wobbles as it spins, then stops. The average spin time will vary.
The egg continues to spin after it is released because of inertia. Inertia is the resistance an object has to any change in motion. It is the tendency of a nonmoving object not to move and of a moving object to continue to move unless acted on by some outside force. The material inside the shell of the raw egg affects the way the egg spins. When force is applied to the solid shell of the egg, the shell begins to move. But due to inertia, the liquid yolk and egg white inside do not start spinning as soon as the shell does. The force of the moving shell on the liquid inside causes the liquid to move, but slowly. The sluggishly moving liquid hits against the inside of the shell, causing the egg to wobble. The wobble reduces the spin time of the egg.
For Further Investigation
Hard-boiled eggs are solid throughout. Would a hard-boiled egg spin longer than a raw egg? A project question might be, How does the phase of matter of an object affect its motion?
Clues for Your Investigation
- Repeat the investigation with a hard-boiled egg.
- To distinguish the eggs, mark an X on the hard-boiled egg.
- A series of diagrams representing timelapse photography of each egg with arrows representing the motion of the eggs can be used as part of your display. The diagrams placed side by side show when each egg stops spinning in relation to the other.

Seattle police search for hit and run driver that ran over man twiceon February 25, 2013 @ 2:46 pm (Updated: 3:10 pm - 2/25/13 )
Seattle police say a driver hit a man who was waiting at a bus stop twice before taking off from the scene.
"For whatever reason [the driver] drove up onto the curb and struck the victim who was a 40-year-old man," Seattle Police Detective Mark Jamieson. "The suspect then continued on and his vehicle struck two parked cars [...] The suspect then backed up and struck the victim a second time."
At that time, the suspect's vehicle reportedly got stuck on the curb and the suspect got out and tried to run away. Jamieson says the victim's friend tried to stop him.
"The victim's friend tried to physically detain the suspect, however the suspect was able to break free and took off running," says Jamieson.
Police say the victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries but is expected to survive.
Authorities are still searching for the driver involved in the accident that happened at Fremont Ave N. and N. 105th St around 11:30 Sunday night. The driver is described as Hispanic male around 5'4." He was last seen wearing a black jacket and tan pants.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Seattle Police Department.

Michelle sighed.
"Yeah... just me... Still, anything you can teach me about them is fantastic. Anything you can teach me is fantastic really."
Seiki nodded, smiling "Then I shall teach you as much as I can but for now it is late, perhaps we can begin another time, where may I find you?"
Michelle smiled back at him.
"I'm not staying anywhere in particular right now, you can find me at the institute of war usually though."
Seiki nodded "Alright then." he took one last look at her, then at the area around them before walking off toward one of the caves, his demeanor seemed different and an aura of sadness seemed to overflow from his very being as he walked off.
Youay smiled as he rested his own head against hers. He continued to caress her back as he got comfortable. He smiled at her comment
"Alright, we will stay like this for a bit longer, then we will eat."
He closed his eyes as he felt a pleasant chill down his spine as she slid her thumb along his neck. He kissed the top of her head lightly.
"And if it was actually like how it would be if I moved in, I would be the first person you see when you wake, and the last one you see at night. And you would be able to hold on to me just like this, throughout the night."
Ethelyn let out a happy hum before turning her head a bit and pressed her lips to his neck. She softly spoke to him as she did this, keeping her one arm wrapped tightly around him.
"Alright... I guess I can go with that..."
She then started lightly caressing along the back of his neck with her fingers, smiling slightly as she quietly replied.
"Hmmm~ Well... When you put it that way... I think I might just let you stay..."
Youay smiled and gave a pleasant hum as she placed her lip to his neck. He continued to caress her back as he stroked the side of her head with the thumb of his other hand.
"Alright, then we will eat when we feel like it then."
He enjoyed her touch upon his neck as he cuddled against her lovingly.
"Hmm, well, I will go by whatever decision you make my dove. All I can say that these last few days without you felt incredibly lonely."
He smiled softly as he kissed the top of her head gently.
Ethelyn started lightly tracing around the base of his neck where his collar was, seeming rather relaxed at the moment.
"You being lonely? We wouldn't want that now, would we?"
She might have added something else to that statement, if it weren't for the fact that her stomach growled loudly in protest. She frowned, letting out an annoyed hum, and wrapped her arms around him.
"Nnnooo... I'm not hungry..."
Youay looked quite relaxed himself as she traced around his neck. He looked down towards her as she spoke and was about to say something when he heard her stomach growl. He frowned slightly as he gave her a gentle hug.
"I think your body is saying otherwise."
He leaned down and kissed the top of her head and smiled. He traced his hand along her back as he spoke.
"How about we eat, no need to get frustrated about having to let me go for a moment. You have me all to your self for these next few days. So after we eat, we can do whatever you want."

In recent days, you've probably seen and heard a lot about where I live. I live on Staten Island. About 20 fellow Staten Islanders were killed. Many neighborhoods have been destroyed. Some schools are still closed. The restaurant that my family visited on October 19 is gone. Sandy was not nice to us.
Volunteers have been coming to help with the clean-up. There's been plenty of criticism about the lack of electricity for thousands. [Fortunately, my power was turned on about after three days.] It's still difficult to get gasoline for the cars.

A Polson man who was struck in the head with a hammer nearly two weeks ago has died of his injuries.
Lake County Undersheriff Dan Yonkin tells KERR-AM that 67-year-old John Barrows of Polson died at a Kalispell hospital on Saturday.
The suspected assailant, 35-year-old Desmond Alan Mackay, is scheduled to be arraigned in District Court on Thursday on charges of attempted deliberate homicide and two counts of assault with a weapon for the March 5 attack. Prosecutors have said they would amend the charges if Barrows died.
Court records say Mackay called the name of another man, Jesse Waugh, and waited by the door to his garage. When it opened, Mackay swung the hammer, which struck Barrows in the head. Prosecutors say Mackay told investigators he hated Waugh and intended to hit him.

Not sure what to think - FRER false positive? Chemical?
|Thu, 09-01-2011 - 8:22pm
I had a miscarriage last year and got so much help on this board. I know there are quite a few ladies here who are test experts. Have you ever heard of a false positive on a FRER?
I took one yesterday afternoon and had a BFN at 3 minutes but
|Sun, 09-04-2011 - 12:19pm
sorry, but with all the other BFNs, it does sound like a false positive. :smileysad:
|Fri, 09-02-2011 - 4:02am
I know it wouldn't be good to post about a BFP in this area. Just wanted to clarify that I'm quite sure the BFN's are true. I'm hoping there are false positives on FRER because otherwise I must have experienced an early miscarriage. I haven't had any bleeding. So I am waiting for the ball to drop....... and that sucks far worse then a false positive. :(

Hi Richard,
I understand your situation very well... my University was also down after our earthquake last year. I hope all is going well now in NZ.
Concerning my question, I'd like to ask if a modification to the inputs is possible, by leave fixed some of the parameters like the center (x0, y0) of the ellipse. The same for the your code fitcircle.m
Best regards
Incredible implementation Richard, but I'd like to know the errors of the parameters. Maybe these are obvious but I can't find the way to get it.
Could you help me?

Duluth Metals Identifies Two New Mineralized Areas On Exploration Lands
Within the NLM, a significant thickness of disseminated Cu-Ni-PGE bearing sulphide has been identified in the initial drilling. Notably, the mineralized material is unlike mineralization in the nearby Spruce Road and Maturi Deposits, having an elevated Cu:Ni ratio of 5:1. The presence of this mineralization in the NLM confirms the existence of sulphide-bearing magmas in the feeder conduit to the mineralized SKI. The high Cu:Ni ratio suggests sulphide fractionation took place within the NLM, and highlights the possibility that the system may contain zones of concentrated Ni-rich sulphide minerals in the feeder conduit.
Significant widths of mineralization in the NLM area have been identified both in surface outcrop and in two drill holes to date (Fig. 4). Highlights from the drilling to date are as follows: (The mineralized body is interpreted to dip at about 60° to the southeast. True thickness is estimated at about 95% of core length).
- 12-DM-017 returned a 243.4 foot intersection of 0.38% copper, 0.08% nickel and 0.12 grams/tonne (g/t) TPM, including a 30 foot intersection of 0.50% copper, 0.10% nickel and 0.13 g/t TPM.
- 12-DM-018 returned a 291.0 foot intersection of 0.30% copper, 0.06% nickel and 0.17 g/t TPM, including a 23.7 foot intersection of 0.50% copper, 0.09% nickel, and 0.33 ppm g/t TPM.
Full assay results are shown in the following Table 2:
From To Thickness Cu Ni Pt Pd Au TPM Drill Hole (ft) (ft) (ft) (%) (%) (g/t) (g/t) (g/t) (g/t) 12-DM-017 91.1 334.5 243.4 0.38 0.08 0.03 0.06 0.03 0.12 including 196.0 226.0 30.0 0.50 0.10 0.03 0.07 0.03 0.13 12-DM-018 113.4 404.4 291.0 0.30 0.06 0.04 0.08 0.04 0.17 including 380.7 404.4 23.7 0.50 0.09 0.10 0.15 0.08 0.33
Ongoing drilling efforts are aimed at demonstrating the continuity of this mineralization on strike and at depth, as well as following this mineralization to deeper sections of the NLM. Future drilling efforts within deeper sections of the NLM will focus on looking for higher grade mineralization analogous to that found in the Maturi Deposit and potential concentrations of Ni-rich massive sulphide. Drilling the most prospective area for potential concentrations of massive sulphide at the mouth of the NLM will require summer road building, planned to commence in the spring.

Do I Hear an iPad Christmas? Yes, Indeed
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas/Everywhere you go..."Apple (AAPL) CEO Timothy D. Cook proclaimed on Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter investor conference call that it will be "an iPad Christmas," and it's certainly looking that way.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White, who rates Apple shares "buy" with a $777 price target, notes that tablet demand over the Black Friday weekend was exceptional, with Apple's new iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display leading the way. White notes the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) did its annual Black Friday Survey, with the association noting that tablets were the most popular product purchased, "with 39% of those shopping for a consumer electronics product buying a tablet over the weekend or planning to buy one before the weekend was over."
The tablet is quickly becoming the most popular electronic in the household, right behind the television. There are still 2.9 televisions per household, but the tablet is quickly gaining on that level, with the CEA noting there are 1.5 tablets per household this year. "In our view, this robust appetite for tablets this holiday season is a clear positive for Apple's iPad franchise," White penned in his note.
On Apple's fourth-quarter earnings call, Cook proclaimed how excited he was about the iPad this holiday season, in light of the refresh iPad Air, and iPad mini with Retina Display, which both launched in November. "I think it's going to be an iPad Christmas and -- but we will see, we will report the numbers back to you in January how we did, but we are pretty confident," Cook said on the call.
Though Cook has largely been confident about tablet sales this holiday season, the iPad mini with Retina Display has been tough to find. White noted approximately 47% of the 38 Apple Stores surveyed were sold out of the 128GB model of the new, smaller WiFi + Cellular, 7.9-inch tablet, with 42% of stores being sold out of the 64GB model. Lower storage models were more readily available, with 29% of stores being sold out of the 32GB, and just 3% being sold out of the 16GB model. However, the WiFi models of both the iPad mini with Retina Display and first-generation iPad mini are readily available.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
- "You are quick mortal, quick to die!"
- —Dahaka.
The Dahaka (also known as the Guardian of Time) is the guardian of the timeline. He appears only when the timeline is disrupted. It is the Dahaka's duty to make sure that the Prince meets his death in order to restore the timeline. He is one of the antagonists in Warrior Within.
Official DescriptionEdit
- "A Massive mythical creature spawned by the Prince's disruption of the Timeline, the Dahaka is the Guardian of the Timeline. When something exists in the Timeline that should not be there, the Dahaka is sent to erase it.Since the Prince should have died in the Sultan's Palace, the Dahaka has been sent to remove him. This huge beast follows our hero with a single purpose: Ending the Prince's life. The Dahaka appears sporadically, traveling through reality in a swirling black void. As it approaches, the ground trembles and unsuspecting bystanders are forever pulled into this gaping emptiness, never to return. This beast is surely not of this world. The Dahaka knows its purpose. Walls and weapons means nothing to it and it cannot be killed, harmed or slowed down."
- —Official booklet description[1]
Battles of Prince of PersiaEdit
Warrior WithinEdit
The ChaseEdit
The story starts with the Dahaka chasing the Prince through Babylon's streets. He corners him at the end of the alley and prepares to absorb him, however, why he never captures and kills him is never revealed within the narrative.
During his travels on the Island of Time, the Dahaka pursues the Prince throughout the Fortress of Time. The hero has to flee, unable to harm the creature. The Dahaka is relentless in his pursuit of the Prince and his mission is only halted whenever the Prince crosses areas with water; the Prince learns that the Dahaka cannot touch water or fight against it, so he uses this advantage to escape from the Dahaka.
A Second ChanceEdit
The Dahaka followed the Prince even in the past, making his journey even more difficult. After the death of the Empress, the Prince thinks that he's free to leave the Island, but the Dahaka arrives and throws him into a secret passage. The Prince then realizes that by killing the Empress, he created the sands of time.
The Prince managed to retrieve the mask, transforming into the Sand Wraith. He then assumes that the creature who was following him was in fact himself who was trying to warn him about the Empress.
The Prince travels back in time to reach Kaileena, but once again, he's followed by the guardian of Timeline. The wooden bridge onto which the Dahaka steps collapses, but before falling to his assumed death, one of the Dahaka's tentacles reaches the prince, who slices it and screams with anger.
Final BattleEdit
After reaching Kaileena in the present, the Prince stops her from fighting. Suddenly, the Dahaka appears and tries to absorb Kaileena, who doesn't belong in the present.
The Prince attacks him, and due to having the Water Sword, is able to harm him. Kaileena runs away and the Prince fights the beast with his sword, now able to harm the monster. After a long battle, Kaileena throws a sand ball at the Dahaka, who gets caught on the edge of the platform. The prince stabs the Dahaka's head, and the creature falls into the water. As the sea turns black, the Dahaka comes out from the water, only to explode, the ocean water returning back to normal. The Prince has changed his fate.
- The Dahaka speaks in reverse. When the Dahaka speaks, if time is turned back, its sentences can be understood.
- When you fight Kaileena for the first time, she says: "I had hoped the Dahaka would kill you.", but when you fight her for the second time with the Water Sword and the Dahaka appears, Kaileena has no idea who the Dahaka is
- The Dahaka's horns resemble the infinity symbol, perhaps indicating its eternal existence.
- The Dahaka may have very likely been named off a creature from Persian/Iranian mythology known as Aži Dahāka. This creature's name then translates to titles such as "Dragon-King" or "Serpent-King".[citation needed]
- The Dahaka's height seems to change throughout Warrior Within. It sometimes appears larger than the Prince, others, just a little over the Princes height. This is likely an error on the end of the developers.

Nicollet County Administrator Bob Podhradsky has announced his intention to retire from public service this summer. Podhradsky has served as county administrator since 2001, but has been in government service for nearly 40 years. The 62-year-old began his career in 1972 as a social worker in Wounded Knee, South Dakota. He was the Le Sueur County Director of Social Services before taking a position with Nicollet County 22 years ago. He served much of his tenure as county coordinator before the job transitioned to administrator. The exact date of Podhradsky's last day with Nicollet County has yet to be determined, although it will likely be sometime in July.

The East Valley is enjoying a much-needed economic boost, but experts say the upturn is too little, too late to offset budget shortfalls as municipalities plan for the coming fiscal year.
"If the economy is truly recovering, as reports suggest, within a year it should help in terms of relief for cities and towns," said Tom Rex, research manager of the Center for Business Research at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business.
East Valley cities and towns have reported sales tax revenue push- ing ahead of projections in the past few months, in addition to job growth in service industries such as health care, an increase in building permits and higher hotel occupancy rates.
But even if the East Valley's economy has turned a corner in 2004, Rex said, that doesn't necessarily mean its residents will be spared from further municipal budget cuts and tax increases.
Some of the recent budget problems stem from tax cuts and new services implemented in the latter half of the 1990s, when Internet technology spurred a high-tech gold rush, which boosted the national economy to heights that won't be reached again for decades, he said.
Rex said some cities and towns may have to raise taxes again or cut spending to get back in the black, even if the current modest upward trend continues.
"There may be an issue there even after the economy gets strong," he said.
Still, despite lingering municipal budget shortfalls and stagnant job growth in high-paying industries such as technology, Rex said the East Valley's economic recovery appears to be outpacing the national average.
Not all cities and towns have access to complete financial data for the first quarter, but most have reported some type of encouraging development since the beginning of the year:
The Valley's seasonally adjusted jobless rate for March was 4.2 percent, down from 5.3 percent in March 2003, according to the Arizona Department of Economic Security.
Queen Creek's January sales tax revenue of $463,449 was more than triple the previous January's numbers, thanks to robust home sales and several new stores and other businesses.
In Scottsdale, February sales tax revenue was up 11 percent from February 2003, and bed tax revenue was up 9 percent.
Cumulative sales tax revenue for June through February was up nearly 12 percent from a year earlier in Chandler, and up 4 percent in Tempe.
In Mesa, January sales activity was up 8 percent from the previous January.
February was even better, with an increase of 15 percent from February 2003.
Mesa's projected sales tax revenue for the first nine months of the 2003-04 fiscal year was $74 million, considerably less than the actual generated revenue of $78.4 million.
"Our sales tax is running about 5.2 percent ahead of budget," Mesa budget director Jamie Warner said. "The last two months have been very, very good for us."
In Scottsdale, general manager of economic vitality Dave Roderique described the city's outlook as "cautiously optimistic."
There have been several positive indicators already this year, he said, such as increases in sales tax revenue, building permits and hotel occupancy rates.
However, the city has a long road ahead to recovery.
"This has probably been one of the most difficult and the longest downturns for us," he said.
Still, investors appear more confident, and some development projects that languished for the past few years are now back on track.
"Because the economy has improved, the (Scottsdale) Waterfront has been able to move forward," Roderique said.
Revenue increases alone will not solve all the East Valley's financial problems. Each municipality faces unique challenges that stem from history and geography as well as the economy.
In Tempe, a city-initiated economic forecast predicted that Arizona's continued growth actually may work against the landlocked city, incrementally reducing its allotment of state-shared revenue, doled out based on population.
The report, released in late March, states that Tempe faces "significant financial challenges that will need to be addressed through enhancement of existing or identification of new revenue sources, further reduction in expenditures, or a combination of both."
However, Tempe City Councilman Mark Mitchell said the report doesn't account for additional sales tax revenue that will be created by new businesses such as an auto mall and several large retail stores.
Growth also has taken a toll on fast-growing Gilbert's economy, but in a different way.
The town's biggest financial burden remains providing adequate public services to the teeming masses while the buildup of revenue-generating commercial enterprises lags considerably behind.
"It's always been a challenge," Gilbert economic development director Greg Tilque said, adding that several large retail operations are scheduled to open within the next two years, which will help offset the town's costs.
Gilbert officials said it will cost $52.7 million in the next five years to correct police and fire staffing deficiencies, which may require new and higher taxes and a monthly utility surcharge to fund the minimum level of services needed in the town.
In Mesa, a financial forecast in September predicted huge increases in debt payments and operating costs over the next seven years, due in part to the cost of city services and new infrastructure.
The situation is being driven by a relatively low ratio of jobs to residents and the burden of providing services to Mesa's vast residential communities.
The report indicates Mesa would have to cut $286 million in expenses over seven years to circumnavigate dire financial straits.
"We don't have enough money to do everything we're doing," said Mark Killian, a Mesa financial advisory committee member.
Killian said despite the recent upward economic trend, municipalities will have to continue cutting unnecessary spending while working to attract high-paying jobs to the area.
Even if the East Valley continues on its economic ascent, Rex said, it will likely be a slow crawl compared with the leaps and bounds of the Internet boom.
"It's not a surprise that we're not back to the level we were at three or four years ago, because that level was not sustainable," he said.

That is why it has been given a Platinum certification by UL Environment – a group of folks that determine how "green" a certain product is.
At the same time, the Samsung Exhilarate should deliver a decent Android experience, and while we are not expecting to see any spectacular hardware under its hood, its front is occupied by a 4-inch Super AMOLED display. Both a front-facing and a rear camera are on board, along with an LTE radio for speedy access to the internet.
The Samsung Exhilarate is planned to launch on AT&T in the forthcoming months, and getting your hands on one will not cost you more than $50.
