These guys all of sudden appeared all over my garden ever since our rains stopped. Does anyone know what they are? Are they good or bad? |
Follow-Up Postings:
One of some million beetles of which something like about 8,000 are considered pests. What are they doing? Are they damaging plants? Very probably good identification could be made quicker at your county office of the University of California Cooperative Extension service. |

man i swear thats a lightning bug... but i claim no expertise ... and i cant see its glowing butt ... and if i had not seen one yesterday.. a month early .. it would not have triggered ... put one in a jar.. and flick a lighter at it at night ... and .. they tend to continually climb to the top of the jar.. no matter how many times you turn it over... otherwise.. what he said ... do you have them in SF??? ken |

Looks like one of the soldier beetles, also called downy leather wing beetles. If so, both the adults and larvae would be considered beneficials. You might be able to get an absolutely positive ID at the extension office. |

looks like solider beetle is the winner! They turn out to be very close relatives of the lightning bug, so Ken, you weren't too far off either. I have about 50 of them on my fava beans, which is good because they are also covered in aphids. Go solider beetles! http://bugguide.net/node/view/409325/bgpage |
I'm glad the mystery is solved...a good group effort by all. By the way, grow power...just for the sake of YOU being correct...it's spelled "soldier", pronounced just like the military word. I 'd guess that they have that nickname because of the work they do controlling the 'enemy'. Ken...you've really seen lightning bugs, already? That's incredible. I haven't spotted any down here, yet. I'll have to sit outside tonight and see what I've been missing. |

Herbs as Medicines
Lemon Balm: This is a herb that I use a lot. The aroma that the leaves give off when crushed is long lasting and a delight to the senses. As a tea when mixed with lemon juice and honey, it is wonderful to drink and has a stress relieving, relaxing result.
Uses: Researchers have found that a mixture of lemon balm and
valerian is as effective as some tranquilizers, without the side effects.
It is also credited with an antiviral effect, and it seems particularly
effective against the herpes virus (cold sores etc.)
Lemon balm alleviates stomach gas and cramps and has a general
antispasmodic effect on the stomach and intestines.
It also relaxes the blood vessels, which helps to reduce blood pressure.
It is reported that lemon balm is relatively safe herb although it is suggested that for people with a low thyroid function excessive use may make their condition worse
Beautiful work again CD…..is this for a calendar?
Wendi they probably will end up as a calendar but I have an order for them and hopefully it will turn out to be large. By putting them up on the bubble it gives a bit of professionalism for viewing etc. Thanx for your interest. I guess everyone will get a little sick of them. I have and am enjoying doing them.
lovely job
Beautiful work, I've studied Herbology for a few years on my own and this series is very well put together! Very nice work! Dee
A lovely addition to the series!
Nice commercial looking shot you've done here. Should try and market this to some naturopaths and health food shops.

Lovely work!

Document exposes pattern of Rwanda violence in Congo.
Eleven years of my research, with Allan Stam at the University of Michigan, shows that the RPF did engage in some violence when taking over the country, both at the front of their invasion as well as behind the lines of their control. The rebels did not simply assist in ending the genocidal campaign of the Rwandan government, but they also won an interstate conflict and they began a reprisal campaign of their own, which extended into the DRC almost immediately after their victory.
Of course, the violence of the genocide overshadowed that of the reprisal by a large margin, but there was retribution and there is also evidence that the pace of the invasion may even have further escalated the violence of the Rwandan government. This is not to argue that the two forms of political violence were equivalent. Rather, it is to suggest that there were at least two forms of violencet undertaken by the existing government at the time as well as the rebels.
Kagame's government has done everything possible to prevent this acknowledgement. In 2004, I was called a "genocide denier" because I made such a claim. More recently, Peter Erlinder, a human rights lawyer from Minnesota, was arrested in Rwanda for making such a claim and numerous scholars have been prevented from entering Rwanda or denounced for raising this issue in print, on air or film. To say such things in Rwanda could result in arrest for "divisionism" or worse.
Even more evidence against Kagame could someday be revealed. There exists a yet-to-be-leaked U.N. report that alleges RPF-led violence led to the deaths of thousands. Because this report also insinuates Kagame and several governments (including the U.S.) wanted to avoid complications involved with accusing the new government, the report was never released.
The recently leaked U.N. report has brought all the accusations back, and its findings are consistent with my research, which shows the RPF engaged in violence against their ill-defined enemies. I say "ill-defined" because, as anyone who has engaged in or studied counter-insurgency or Rwandan history will readily attest, it is not always easy to separate political combatants from ordinary citizens; this is especially the case because Tutsi and Hutu share language, physical characteristics as well as belief systems and most knowledge about ethnic identity was locale which was disrupted by the massive population displacement at the time. Without this ability to distinguish or even a desire to do so, governments and/or rebels often kill those who could potentially challenge them.
The leaked U.N. report has resulted in a significant shift in perceptions about the Rwandan military in general and Paul Kagame in particular. The results from the latest election expand this shift, as well. The new view more accurately characterizes the complexity of the Rwandan conflict, and it tarnishes the simplistic narrative generally used to describe the Rwandan conflict of 1994. It paints Kagame not as a peacemaker exclusively engaged in ending genocide, but as a brilliant military strategist who quickly routed a rival government with violence, silenced a domestic population with violence as well as restrictive laws on expression, and stifled external enemies through another invasion — inciting civil war and wielding international guilt as well as accusations like a fine-edged sword. Kagame did this all under the observation and acquiescence of the same international community that watched the interstate war launched from Uganda, genocide in Rwanda and later military takeover of the challengers, as well as subsequent subversion of the DRC through fomenting civil war domestically and another invasion of a sovereign nation.
The world view of the Rwandan government and the man that many mistakenly believes to be a shining light in Africa – Paul Kagame – certainly is under question. Indeed, if he is a shining light, we should more closely examine what that light is illuminating.

Nail in the coffin for DVB-H in the US?
Posted by Site Administrator on February 12, 2007
AT&T announced today that they will be moving forward with MediaFLO's solution for broadcast video and audio services. With Verizon set to launch with the same service early this year, that puts about half of the US mobile subscriber population in the hands of MediaFLO. With Sprint and T-Mobile trialing the service (and they may also be trialing DVB-H), things don't look good for the DVB-H standard in the US - at least on cell phones.
With Cingular being a GSM operator like the rest of Europe (and most of the world), it is especially devastating to backers of the DVB-H standard here in the US that they chose an alternative technology.
There are relatively few subscribers to mobile video services in the US today, but there has been rapid growth from a small base in the past 12 months as catalogs expand and handsets come down in price.
Broadcast video will alter the economics favorably for those who can achieve scale - something that MediaFLO seems to be achieving with their recent wins.
That said, consumers are interested in watching video on devices other than cell phones. In fact, when surveyed, consumers perfer watching live TV on the bigger screens offered by laptops, handheld gaming devices and portable media players to cell phones. Introducing the cost of customer acquisition, however, raises the stakes for anyone launching a new service not tied to existing consumer services (e.g., cell phone contract)
It may not be the "nail," but there must be a lot of folks celebrating within the MediaFLO community.

text: Hi All! I'm joining (like a million others!) trying to lose weight this new year. I've never really had a weight problem before, but when I stopped nursing my youngest it just piled on...okay, maybe drinking Dr. Pepper and eating chocolate everyday had a little something to do with it! My biggest problem is that I have always hated to excersise, but whether I like it or not it's got to happen. 35 pounds seem like an awful lot, but I"m on my way!

Hello, I usually don't have much time in the mornings and hence I was wondering if there is a device where I can put in raw eggs with shell and It will crack and make an omelet for me? I did some searching but couldn't find a combination of egg cracker and omelet maker. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can't think of an easier method than a frying pan and your hands (for the cracking.) |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Mon, Sep 1, 14 at 13:09
Maybe you'd enjoy taking a kitchen basics class to learn to cook. Frying an egg takes about 3 minutes, which is far less than any gadget would take. Or there's always cold cereal. |
Umm, yes, this is essentially my quickest and easiest breakfast meal to prepare (of anything hot)...if you feel this is too much, you probably need to pay someone to cook for you...like maybe a restaurant. |
I thought the OP was a gag, and not a real post. |
Yes!! I suggest you try the Acme Corporation. Their products were used extensively by one Wile E. Coyote during the 40's and 50's. I have no doubt they have what you need as they produce every product type imaginable, no matter how extravagant or foolish. One note of caution: Mr. Coyote has filed a product liability suit against them and as the case winds through the courts attention to your omelet maker may take second place. |
- Posted by salilsurendran (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 14 at 16:38
There are several products on the market that cracks eggs. Here are some of the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6ex8axGVEo Here are the omelet makers on amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=omelet maker&sprefix=omelet+maps |
But...how do these things find that tiny bit of shell that falls in? |
Shell=extra calcium |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 14 at 4:27
Shell also equals texture, crunch, and that "secret ingredient" we cooks strive for. Am I the only one whose mind went to the breakfast machine scene from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when they read the OP? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang egg machine
To the OP, the pans you linked from Amazon only just help with the shape of the folded omelet. They aren't really "making" the omelet other than helping with the folding part. What about the step after cracking the eggs, which is beating the eggs, and pouring them into the pan? What combination egg-cracker, omelette-pan would be able to beat the eggs? Would there be a teeny egg beater in the machine somewhere? I saw a retrospective of Julia Child where on one of her old black-and-white shows she cranked out omelet after omelet, on a little electric-coil burner, with a cheap aluminum frying pan, in just minutes. Your time saving efforts with some machine or special pan won't be very time saving. I will link a video to Jacques Pepin making an omelet in 2 minutes (though it kills me that he is using a metal fork in a teflon pan). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Jacques Pepin Makes an Omelet in 2 Minutes
I had a Chinese roommate who had a unbranded device like the one you are looking for into which you could pour eggs, toppings like tomato, onions and peppers and it would cook the perfect omelet. I used it way more than my roommate did and for eggs I just bought egg beaters. Every morning I would have breakfast ready in 2 minutes till my roommate left. I thought such devices would be common in the market but couldn't find an exact replica. |
Hi Jss8791 - welcome to the Gardenweb! Your Chinese device sounds like a fry pan. Can you please explain how the device differed from a fry pan after you poured egg beaters and toppings into it? |
My suggestion is to mix the omelet ingredients the night before, store covered in fridge, give it a whisk as you're pouring it into the pan in the morning. Saves seconds! |
Well if you're interested in devices, there is at least one small appliance that's called an "omelet maker", and several waffle makers and electric grills have "omelet plates". There is some merit in using a closeable electric device. I always use a lid to reflect heat down and cook the top of the omelette. It takes awhile to learn the right time to remove it without peeking. That Bourdain video of Pepin is funny. :) Jacques Pepin was my TV kitchen hero when I was in college. I've never seen him make anything like that sorryass omelette before! That's edited, however, and even that mess probably took more than two minutes to make. :) |

Hi, i have problem measuring times of compute shaders.
I am using QueryPerformanceCounter (and for checking also clock()). Both gave +- same results in ms. But if I measure time on my stopwatch I gave totally different time.
C++ timer says 10ms, but its rubbish. Application (computer) freezes for about 30 seconds during shader execution.
How can I measure this ?

I'm guessing that you're measuring the amount of time it takes for the CPU to submit your workload, not the amount of time it takes the GPU to actually execute the work?
Perhaps you should post some code or describe your testing methodology.

Some Days
Almost everything you ever liked to do,becomes like watching paint dry...
I must agree getting old is not a good feeling especially when our body needs alot of "attention".and care.But there are things in life we can look forward to and also enjoy what we have.God Bless.
Oh henneypenny that was a lovely comment. And OFG, it can be hard at times to get through the day when so much of the important parts of life are done. Raising a family, working, etc. It's tough. For all those that fight those blues they need to make sure they still reach out and get whatever they can from life. Getting older doesn't mean it's all over. Things are just a little different. Like HennyPenny said, it's important to take the time to stop and smell the roses! Nice one.
Maybe not everything. I've always loved to watch babies and little kids. You can learn so much from the little ones. I still enjoy sun rises and sunsets and it's silly, but my heart still races when I see a lilac bush in full bloom. There are the things, like watching TV shows, that have lost their charm. The older I get, the more I marvel at the little things. Today my rose bush gave off it's first rose, fragrant, milky white with a peach blush in the center. The bush keeps giving me glorious roses in spite of neglect. Right now my life is in the toilet (that's a crude way of putting it, but it's so aptly desc<x>riptive I couldn't resist), but I have memories of better days and even though they're gone, the memories remain to comfort me. I have my precious grandchildren, I know they will grow and become indifferent teeners, but for now, they love their grannie so much and they warm my heart. The troubled period will eventually pass 'this, too, shall pass' and I won't recall it. I will instead remember the small things that helped get me through. A final cup of coffee (another of my pleasures) and then to bed. Peace to all.

Marvel Universe
Real Name
Stanley Carter
Publicly known
Place of Birth
Ft. Meade, Maryland
First Appearance
Spectacular Spider-Man #107 (1985)
Spectacular Spider-Man #110, Spectacular Spider-Man #134
Racing to the Jameson's home, Spider-Man busted through a window just in time to save Betty's life. Sin-Eater attacked Spider-Man, but this time Spider-Man didn't pull any punches. Feeling as if Stan Carter was mocking him the whole time by pretending to catch Jean Dewolffe's killer, Spider-Man continued to beat the Sin-Eater even after he was unconscious. Daredevil had to forcibly stop Spider-Man, but this only led to a brief confrontation between the two vigilantes. It was explained to police officials, who now had the Sin-Eater in custody, that Carter may not have been in his right mind at the time he committed the murders because of some experimental drug testing that went on while he was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The drugs were supposed to increase strength and stamina, but there were numerous negative side-effects to the drug such as violent outbursts and potential personality disorders, so the program was discontinued. It was also surmised that when Carter's partner was shot and killed a few months back that the trauma of the event caused him to snap and left him determined to wipe away the sins of humanity. Meanwhile, word leaked to the press that the Sin-Eater would be transferred from the precinct to Riker's penitentiary, and a mob, led by Jean Dewollfe's father, formed in order to deliver the type of justice they thought he truly deserved. Daredevil tried to stop the death of the former police sergeant, but there were too many assailants, and he was overwhelmed. Spider-Man ignored the plight of his ally, feeling that Carter would now get his just punishment, but once Daredevil called him by his real name, Spider-Man jumped into the fray and saved both Daredevil and Carter. After the crowd was dispersed, Carter was taken to prison.
After a year in a mental institution, Stan Carter was deemed rehabilitated and was allowed to be a part of the world once again. Spider-Man, along with a host of others, wasn't particularly happy knowing he was set free. Spider-Man went to Carter's apartment, and was surprised to see what he had become. Speaking with a stutter, walking with a cane and now partially deaf, Stan Carter was far from the man he once was. Spider-Man thought that he was mistreated while in the institution, but Carter told Spider-Man that his condition was a result of their last encounter. Feeling guilty over the pain he caused Stan, Spider-Man had to get out of there. A short while later, Spider-Man came across his old sparring partner Electro, but he was defeated because he pulled too many punches not wanting to damage Electro as badly as he injured Carter. Unable to defend himself and at the mercy of an unappreciative crowd, Spider-Man had to be saved by Stan Carter who held everyone at bay with a toy shotgun. Carter was arrested and questioned, but even though Carter claimed he was cured, he was constantly haunted by his past as the Sin-Eater.
Carter reluctantly went on a talk show to talk about a book he was writing, detailing his crimes as the Sin-Eater, but he was interrupted by an irate Spider-Man. It was at that time that Carter revealed to the nation his remorse for killing Jean DeWolff and the shocking news that the two of them were lovers. Spider-Man didn't have time to react to the news as Electro showed up at the station and publicly challenged Spider-Man to a fight. Spider-Man was branded a coward by the media when he didn't accept (although he would have a chance to correct the media's thinking when Electro held the city hostage). Stan lost his battle with his alter ego as he snapped, once again, while attempting to write his book. Spider-Man defeated Electro even as the Sin-Eater returned and opposed the police while holding a child hostage. The Sin-Eater released the boy and turned his gun toward the officers, but he was gunned down in a hail of bullets. Spider-Man arrived too late as Stan slipped away claiming that he finally defeated the Sin-Eater. Spider-Man determined that Stan thought he and the Sin-Eater were two different people, and the lead officer at the scene remarked that if that was the case, then Carter had the last laugh because he never loaded the Sin-Eater's gun.

Looks great on her finger - 10th anniversary
Anonymous, Cazenovia, NY – January 2014
This ring is exquisite! It is simple and just beautiful. Very good quality stones and of course, the platinum setting is perfect.
Anonymous, Laurel, MS – January 2014
The ring was extremely nice, however a little smaller than I really wanted. I thought that it was a very good value. As always delivery was on time. Remember though that as I have stated previously your customer service STINKS because I was never given the option to special order another larger ring in a size 9. You may use the first lines of this e-mail if you choose. Lee Ziegler

Film Review: The Demons of Ludlow (1983)
SYNOPSIS: A murderous demon lurks inside an antique piano in a picturesque coastal town. REVIEW: I had never heard of The Demons of Ludlow before writing this review and having seen it, I'm not surprised at all. This was one bad movie; if I did things on a five-star system, this would get one star and that's only because one might wring joy from this thing provided they are well stocked with alcohol or other … Continue reading

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This design is so beautiful in person and online. I am very pleased with the final result. The Wedding Paper Divas team made sure all of the details were correct and the image and design looked great. So happy with the speed of delivery. I would order from this company again."
"I was very pleasently surprised with my overall experience! Once i submitted what I wanted, I went back a forth a bit on changes and formatting. The customer services responded in a very timly manner, adjusted per my changes quickly and allowed me multiple times to review the proof before actually submitting my order. I got these is the shimmer pearl, and they look fanstasic."
"Beautiful design, front and back. Elegant. We upgraded to pearly finish and like it very much. My fiancé liked them because they were not too feminine. Delivered very quickly. Very pleased overall."
"I am so very pleased with the outcome of my invitations! The paper quality is amazing, very sturdy, smooth, and feels much more expensive that it was! The printing is precise and clear, and the colors are identical to what you see on the screen. I am beyond thrilled with my invites and cannot wait to send them out!"
"I was so pleased with how this card turned out. My fiance and I opted to remove the monogram at the top and added our website below the reception script. The design team did every request we asked for and with quick turn-around time. The final product came in and looked fabulous. I would highly recommend the pearl shimmer paper which makes the gold and the lacing really *pop* As a side note, we ordered the gold metallic envelopes which are beautiful but other customers should know you will have to get specific inks to write on the envelope such as opaque ink or acrylic ink (if not using a calligrapher)."

Must-See Charts: Bank of America, Cisco
Technology giant Cisco Systems (CSCO - Get Report) has also had a slow start to the year, but unlike Bank of America, this communications and networking play has the potential to fall ahead of its August 11 earnings date.
In the data networking market, Cisco is the hands-down leader. The company owns impressive IP technologies and has a brand name that enterprise and retail clients trust. But that hasn't quelled the recession-induced sales slowdown. And it won't shake off a short-term downtrend.
Cisco saw a double top last week at $24, a reversal that pushed shares back below the 50-day moving average. Since then, the 50-day has been acting as resistance, holding share price levels underneath it. With double-top resistance just overhead and shares tracking sideways at present, a downward push seems likely. I'm betting that shares will tumble to $21 by August.
If you want to bet on a downside move for this stock, place your stop above the 50-day moving average.

Hi everyone, being fairly new to the Midwest (this my 2nd summer only), please forgive me if this plant is well-known to everyone else. I got it at a home-based perennial farm and they said it was really an annual but would certainly reseed. It was about 3+ feet tall...like black-eyed susan but "daintier." Had the brown middle, but the yellow petals were shorter and rounder (cuter!?)and didn't overlap at all. Anyway, I collected seeds but it's driving me nuts that I don't know what it is. I thought maybe rudbeckia hirta but can't find a single pic that looks like my plant.
Do any fellow midwesterners know? |

The flower sounds similar to a Helenium, but they are hardy. I have had so many annual Rudbeckia and Gloriosa Daisy, but can't think of one with short petals that height. Toto was like that, but it's short. |
It could be one of the Coreopsis cultivars. There are many that are annual as well as perennial. |
See if any of these photos match up with your plant: |
Here is a link that might be useful: gloriosa daisy
Sounds like Rudbeckia triloba. |

Cherries close to takeover
06 Mar 2009 - 11:01:34
Bournemouth are reported to be close to agreeing a takeover deal with a mystery Middle East consortium.
The Cherries, who started the season on minus 17 points after entering administration in August, believe a deal could be reached by the end of March.
"The people I'm bringing in are known to me and were looking to buy a Premier League club four or five years ago," chief executive Alastair Saverimutto told BBC Radio Solent.
"It takes time to get to the position we are in at the moment and to get there in just four weeks is quite incredible.
"It is helped that these people trust me - they are credible people."

Safe in an unsafe world
A Christian Science perspective: What we call safety is a fact of God's unchanging love.
A mom recently called me to share an idea that had brought her a fresh perspective. Each day she'd been praying for the safety of her son and husband, as well as for her own. But that particular day it had come to her that beyond just keeping our bodies safe from harm, our real need in prayer is to accept that because we are created spiritually, we're already safe from harm.
"What we call safety," my friend said, "is a fact of God's unchanging love." I agreed. Her prayer was addressing something even greater than the latest threatening condition or worrisome statistic. It was lifting her thought to a more spiritualized viewpoint and changing her sense of safety from an iffy proposition to an assurance that the divine laws of good are supreme.
God is Love, the actual cause of our individual existence. Safety is, therefore, a central fact of our life, even in a world that so often seems defined by dangers of all kinds.
I've prayed with the 23rd Psalm as it is explained in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." There, Mary Baker Eddy brought the psalm alive by substituting throughout the word "Love" in place of "the Lord."
I think of this psalm as God's job description: shepherding, guiding, providing, and safeguarding us. One line says how God restores and maintains our intuition, alertness, wisdom, and resourcefulness: "[Love] restoreth my soul [spiritual sense]" (p. 578).
Christian Science illuminates the constancy of divine care. It teaches how and why we can live in the security of God's jurisdiction. Mrs. Eddy discovered it to be the foundation of Jesus' healing works as described in the Gospels. She proved that we don't need to wait for these protecting and saving laws to take effect; they are here and now. We need only open our eyes to understand them and experience life under their jurisdiction, through enlightened prayer.

Andra, I am glad that you are going to the doctor on Monday. I hope s/he has some good answers or ideas for you. As for the EPO, it hasn't worked for me so far. I just got the book "Fertility, Cycles, and Nutrition" and it says that Flax Seed Oil is better than Evening Primrose Oil. So I just bought some of that and we'll see how it goes....
I am, once again, wondering if I could possibly be pregnant, while logically knowing that I'm not. I just can't seem to fully convince myself though. My symptoms are:
- a weird heavy uncomfortable feeling in my lower belly when lying on my back,
- extreme extreme extreme fatigue,
- very full and heavy feeling breasts but very little actual breastmilk,
- extreme thirst,
- passing waves of nausea, and
- an urge to eat more healthily than I normally do.
However, I don't have any nipple or breast tenderness and my son is still nursing.
How are you other mamas doing?

I had just a little pink stuff 3 and 4 days after the last dose, nothing since. That's never happened before. I often get a day or two of pink, but it's always been immediately followed by the full flow. Trying not to fret over what this might mean.
Normally I suffer horribly painful breasts during PMS or when I take progesterone supplements. However, I've been taking vitex for months, and one of its effects is supposed to be reducing breast pain, so maybe that's finally working!
I've had a yucky taste in my mouth constantly since yesterday afternoon. It doesn't go away for more than a few minutes after brushing my teeth. : No nausea exactly, just yuck.
I quit checking my estrogen level (Ovulens) in an effort to stop obsessing. I think it's still high, but midwife says that doesn't mean anything in a ridiculously long "cycle" like this one.
I'm thinking about trying flax seed oil on this next cycle. Am I supposed to take it every day, or only sometimes?
I hope to see dear Aunt Flo sometime this weekend. It's been too long! After a nice long chat w/her, I feel certain I'll be able to get pregnant....
Mama to a boy EnviroKid 9 years old and a new little girl EnviroBaby !
I write about parenting, environment, cooking, and more.
The temping was begining to stress me and DH.
Good luck to everyone, hope the hag shows up soon!
Today is the official start of ttc for me! I am so going to try not to freak out, we'll see how that goes. I'm planning to start temping and charting tomorrow morning, hoping that will help me see if I ever do ovulate.
This is the first time I've ever tried to get pregnant. With Noah, I got pregnant while using birth control.
EnviroBecca, I hope you do get your period this weekend and then get off to a wonderfully lucky cycle!
NotaMamaYet, good luck at the doctor's and keep us posted, okay?
Happy Weekend Everybody,
But...we've decided to put some limits on nursing. The bored nursing during the day is really getting to me as is the "Oh, you're going to do something without me?" nursing. But we've also decided to try cutting out night nursing. We've had several indications that ds might be ready/open to that. We've thought about it before but there was no way I wanted to nightwean just to get pg (no matter how badly I wanted it). Besides, there was no guarantee that that would bring af visiting. But we have a lot more reasons now, so we're going to at least see how it goes, take it slowly. We'll see!
I'm feeling horrible right now, but interpreting it as pregnancy symptoms or even PMS probably would be wishful thinking, because I have a serious problem with headaches and all of these symptoms are things that have been connected to headaches at least some of the time in the past, and I do have a major headache now. I know migraines can be connected to hormonal changes, but mine usually haven't been.
So, tho I feel nauseated and the reason for that seems to be hyper-sensitive sense of smell (compounded by gut-wrenching PAIN), I can't really separate that from the headache, because hyper-sensory awareness is a migraine thing too.
I'm thinking that if I'm still not bleeding tomorrow, I'll take a preg test and then contact my midwife. If it's negative, I'll ask for an ultrasound to check the thickness of the lining, and maybe some bloodwork. I'm wondering what's going on in there! :

Tracy, sorry about your crapp-o thermometer. I can't seem to remember to take my temperature in the morning. Perhaps it's my subconcious trying to protect me.
Currently we're sleeping in a queen bed (dh, Noah, me and our bossy beagle). Lately it's not big enough. Brian, dh, has been cramped since day 1 of this co-sleeping scenario and now Noah and I need more space too. We're planning to put a twin bed right up next to our bed for Noah. I'm kind of hoping this will reduce his night waking and nursing (though it's really not too bad) and maybe will be the push I need to ovulate.
Shall we think bloody thougts for all of us? Or is that just too gross!!
Good luck to all the AF wanters out there. I will be checking in on you! Andra and Envirobecca, I'm thinking of you!
Sometimes I think doctors do not think for one minute about what they say to patients. Why say something so disheartening as "maybe they've quit working altogether"? *sigh* Can't she wait til she knows something before making a casually cruel comment like that?
I once went to the ER years ago with a swollen lip (uh hmm, not on my face--long bizarro story) that turned out to be a hive. The doc came in and said to the nurse in front of me, before he'd even LOOKED at me, it's probably a cyst, we'll probably have to open it up and drain it.
Good luck to you!
This was a hard decision, but the right one for me right now.
I almost cried in the doctors office. I never thought that I would need help starting a period, or getting pregnant.
In the meantime I'm going to focus on getting healthy and maybe losing some weight(hey couldn't hurt).
So now I am taking progesterone to bring on my period. Last time it took ten days of progest pills and 7 days after that before AF showed up. So I have a while to wait.
Good luck to everyone else out there waiting for the hag or the BFP!!
~lucina3 hugs to you
I never knew this was an option before! I had seen the term "endometrial biopsy" but assumed it was a test for cancer. I have seen 8 different doctors about my menstrual problems, including 2 REs, and none of them ever mentioned this relatively safe, easy test that provides some history of uterine function and hormone levels! They would rather guess (often incorrectly) or stuff me w/drugs just to see what happens (often bad stuff, including some reactions nobody could explain) or just tell me to stop bothering them!!!
So, has anybody here had an endometrial biopsy before? It sounds like it will be uncomfortable but probably no worse than the sonohistogram (fluid injected into uterus thru catheter for an ultrasound) I had when I had a fibroid. Midwife recommended taking a bunch of ibuprofen before and after. Any other tips?
Jodie, I think it's pretty sad that your dr. refuses to do the tests he really ought to do before prescribing Clomid. He would rather let you suffer side effects--possibly serious ones if you have a problem that contraindicates Clomid, like an ovarian cyst, uterine fibroid, or liver dysfunction--that do tests that are inconvenient for him or expensive for your insurance! I respect your decision for yourself. I know it was difficult and that you probably don't want to second-guess it. I wish you minimal side effects and a healthy happy pregnancy!
Andra, I hope your tests come back with encouraging results! I think it's unconscionable for your dr. to suggest ovarian failure on so little evidence! That's happened to me too! What are they thinking?!?! In my case, I didn't get upset because I KNEW I'd ovulated 2 weeks prior to that annual exam. The dr. snorted derisively and rolled her eyes when I told her that!! I got my period the next day, and the test results came back showing my hormones had been at perfect "Day 28" levels, but did she apologize? NO!!! This was the same dr. who brushed off symptoms that turned out to be caused by a fibroid for 10 months by telling me that I'm "just not normal" and therefore everything that happens w/my reproductive organs is explained by that and doesn't need further investigation! This is why I switched to a Certified Nurse Midwife.

My biopsy went well. I got some bloodwork as well. Results will come in early next week....

I haven't had a period since Feb 2001 and went in for my yearly gyno appt this week. My doctor (used midwife for homebirth) read my chart and missed the year. She said, "Oh, I'm so happy your cycles have returned." I cleared my throat and said, "I wish." Just as so many of you do!
I'm ready. I'm just ready to see AF again. I'm glad that natural child spacing works, but, I don't want kids 25 years apart!
Best of luck to all of you. May AF or an extra pink line show up for all of you!
I appreciate your concern. DH and I have talked about it and I will only be on the clomid for three months(if it works). After that I would like to see if my body will start O'ing again on its own. If clomid does not work or if my body doesn't O on its own, I will seek out someone willing to give me some tests. I called around today to get some different opinions, and I seems this is the way the docs around here handle this. I am still searching for someone who will investigate this. :No CNMs here. The funding was cut to the only group around, so they are gone.
~I long for the day I have some sort of consistant cycles again.
He didn't mention that there would be bleeding afterward, but that makes sense to me (poking around in there is bound to stir things up) so I'm not worried, esp. because it's been very dark and brownish and only "spotting" quantity. I will ask about it when he calls w/results.

Re: the progesterone I took 3 weeks ago, it probably weakened after a year of sitting around and therefore wasn't enough. The plan is to try that again.
However, on Monday I have a consultation w/acupuncturist. This is partly about my fertility and partly about my killer headaches. Better not to be on any meds when he evaluates me, I figured. Also, I'll ask whether it's best to go ahead w/prog. or to have some acupuncture first. Having had a little bleeding, there's no rush to make it happen again.
I don't know.... I feel acupuncture is worth a try while I'm waiting to get thru a whole year of trying (that'll be in August) but it's hard to believe it'll work. Mainly, I feel like this is just not going to work until one of those rare months when I happen to O, and there's no telling how long that will take.

August will also be a year of TTC for us. I think acupuncture sounds like a good idea. I would do it before starting a new round of progesterone JMO. Glad you had some tests done, so what can they do for wrong signals or signals not getting through?: At least you do O on occassion, its better than never O'ing at all. And when you do O, what was it that made the signals right or get through?
Didn't think she would come so soon. Last time it was 8 days after the last pill when she came, today is the second day after the last pill.
I start on clomid this cycle,wish me luck. Just really excited to start over fresh.
(((((AF vibes for those still waiting)))))
Um, guess who AF decided to visit????
I'm officially on day 2 of this cycle!!!!
It took Provera to bring AF on, but I'm thrilled that at least, with prodding my ovaries are still functioning!!!!!!!
Now to try to start temping....
I just started 10 days of progesterone to lure over, hope it works quickly!!
Robin~ single, work-at-home momma to my WonderBoys

I'm still waiting. I'm on Day 6 of my 10 days of progesterone. See "Just when I thought I was safe from obsessing..." for more details.

However, French carrier, SFR has claimed that the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 will receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update by the end-of-January and in early-February respectively. The French carrier has also revealed that it will announce the exact dates for the update release soon.
The Android 4.4 KitKat iteration brings some new features such as the translucent menu bar, which is located at the bottom of the screen; new dialler and caller ID; unified Hangouts messaging app; smarter Google Now integration; step counter and detector, and support for screen recording. It's worth pointing out that Samsung uses its TouchWiz UI on top of the Android OS and it is still to be seen, what changes are introduced in the new company UI.
Samsung has still been pushing the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for its top of the line smartphones that include the 2012 flagship, Galaxy S III; and its 2013 flagships, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note II.
Notably, the Android 4.3 update for Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note II brings Galaxy Gear support, Samsung's first wearable tech device, which only supported the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition at the time of launch.
In November, Google and Samsung released the Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition, soon after the HTC One Google Play Edition received the update.
Smartphone manufacturers such as HTC, Motorola and Sony had already revealed plans for the Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade soon after the release of the new OS. However, Samsung has been a late entrant for announcing the Android 4.4 KitKat update for its Galaxy line of smartphones.

Hi there.
First time poster, hope you all can help.
We have an issue with hatches and drawing order when printing PDF's to A3 printer.
The solid hatch is always on top of any linework, block....anything, regardless if the drawing order is correct in the DWG.
Problem occurs on multiple printers (the 2 A3's in the office and many client printers etc)
The problem is there even if we create the PDF from autocad direct or from a DWF.
Problem is the same regardless of how the PDF is created (ie different PDF drivers etc)
We have no problems printing directly from autocad to a A1 or A3 printer, or if we print a DWF to a A1 or A3 printer.
If we print to A1, no problems, problem only occurs when printing to A3.
This is a pretty major issue, as we issue 99% of our drawings as PDF, and most clients etc will print to A3. We have tried to get clients & builders etc to dload the free DWF viewer and then send to them DWF files, but this is nearly impossible.
Any ideas and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. We are using Autocad 2011 but I believe this has persisted on earlier versions as well.
Gudism (craig)
Did you try the Autodesk DWG to PDF driver? I assume the A3 PDF is not 1:1 scale and your A1 is 1:1, correct? If so, just print to A1 PDF and send to your clients, they can print the PDF at whatever size they want.
Yeah that driver works fine for me, just seeing if the part of our office that is having the issue can resolve it by trying that driver.
You see the confusing thing is I dont get the problem, but guys in one of our other offices do see this problem, and we are just trying to work out why.
He is adament that it occurs everywhere, but as I dont have the problem, I dont believe him! :-)
Odd thing is if I print a PDF from a DWF he has created, then the problem occurs here in this office.
and all of our PDF's are always printed as an A1
we are now trying to work out what is different of each machine in each office, to try to see why this is happening.
first thing we will try is that the machines here have adobe acrobat installed, and have the offical adobe driver.
where as the computers in the other office do not.

7611 Gunflint Trail
Grand Marais, Minnesota
By Charles Homans
[more from this author]
Drag slider to rate this bar
Beer and pie
At this roadside bar and grill, youre greeted with curious political riddles of northern Minnesota. The place happily sells What Would Jesus Bomb? T-shirts that would be a rarity in similarly rural corners of most states, but a notice on the menu sternly admonishes snowmobilers and cross-country skiers (the Sunnis and Shiites of the North Country) to put up with each other at least until they settle their tabs. To remind you what state youre in, there are stained-wood walls crammed with voyageur and lumberjack artifacts. And then a long-underwear contest and the opportunity to order the surprisingly inspired combination of a beer and a slice of berry pie. The Trail Center closes early, but thats okay -- youre probably stumbling in here after a fishing trip that started before the sun was up.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
The Enhance menu in Photoshop Elements 9 gives us a few options when it comes to color correction in the form of some auto buttons. Some of them may work better than others and some may require further work to get the result you're looking for, but you should give them a try on each individual photo you work on. The first thing to do before working with the Enhance menu is to duplicate your original layer. The options in the Enhance menu are not adjustment layers and the results will be on the layer you working on itself. So duplicate the original. This time, I'll duplicate using keyboard shortcut Command+J or Ctrl+J. Be sure to double-click on layer 1 and rename your layer.
I'll name this one Mom and click next to it to set it. Going into the Enhance menu, the first thing you'll see is Auto Smart Fix. Let's click on that. There's definitely some improvement and it's always good to try just don't stop there. There's no Reset button for the adjustments we make in the Enhance menu, so you'll either need to duplicate the original layer again especially if you want to keep the results in each step to compare later or by using keyboard shortcut Command+Z or Ctrl+Z to undo the Auto Smart Fix correction.
Let's do that right now using Ctrl+Z or Command+Z. The second option in the Enhance menu is Auto Levels. You see it does a pretty good job for the most part, but tends to render the correction a bit dark. It's still worth a try and may work especially well if you have a very light photo that needs color correction. Again, let's use Command+Z or Ctrl+Z to go back to the original. Again, in the Enhance menu, the third option is Auto Contrast. Let's click that and see what it does. We see it does just what it supposed to do which is darken and define areas or improve the contrast, but it doesn't do anything to remove the colorcast.
So again, let's do Command+Z or Ctrl+ to get back to the original. Let's go back to the Enhance menu and choose Auto Color Correction. It does get rid of the red colorcast, but seems to be a little heavy on the blue side now. One thing that's worth trying in a case like this is to take the Opacity down on your duplicate layer to let some of the original colorcast show through. Let's take this down to all about 65%, and see that lighten the blue up a little bit just by letting the original red show through.
In this case if you want to back to the original, click on your layer and hit Ctrl+Z twice to get back to the original. Let's go back to the Enhance menu one more time and down to Adjust Color. The first item on the menu is Remove Color Cast. Select that and you'll see a dialog box pops up and at the bottom you see an eyedropper. The instructions tell us to click on an area of the photo which should be grey, white or black and the Elements will adjust the image based on where you click.
There is a Reset button here, so you can keep trying until you get the result you like. Let's go and find a black area. Let's try this down here in the foliage and click on that. In this particular photo clicking on the black area moves the red colorcast only to replace it with a blue cast. Let's try a white area somewhere here in the uniform. The white areas work better, but the results are still less than perfect. However, it is one more tool to try. While, these auto buttons may not be a magic bullet, they're definitely worth your time to try.
At the very least, you can eyeball the result and get some idea of what you think might make the color correction better. So in that way, these three auto features might prove a great starting place. Sometimes the results might surprise you and they maybe closer to a magic bullet than you think.

The Facebook Blues
There has been alot of buzz lately about Facebook and it's everchanging algorithm and newsfeed. Number of likes does not translate into rabid fans and often is an insignificant number when it comes to actual engagement. So what is a business to do? A Facebook presence is important since over one billion active users on the platform cannot be discounted or ignored. Plus, one must remember that although Facebook is a free platform, true marketing principles suggest that paid ads must be used to gain maximum benefit. Social platforms are malleable and respond to constant change and take time to build trust and engagement. I always say that "Rome wasn't build in a day and neither is your social media strategy!"
A Facebook Business Page is necessary due to its popularity and the sheer volume of users. A good strategy is to start simply by creating a message that conveys the uniqueness and strengths of your brand. Reach out to your current customers and start the conversation. Encourage interaction and respond in a timely fashion. Think about incentives to increase engagement such as a newsletter, coupon or eBook. Eventually, start a group to discuss your area of expertise and connect with others via a Facebook group. Eliminate overwhelm by focusing on your niche market and combining your online persona with good, old fashioned, face to face networking. Once you begin to become more comfortable in the marketing space, take a look at other social platforms. Eventually, through trial and error, you will find the social combination that works best for you and your business.

Good to know that some of you are in touch with Marlin. Still worry about Hoss though. Been trying to reach him for a few weeks. Praying that all is well.
