Should I seek a second opinion?

Hi guys, this is my first ever forum post, I'm very much a newbie!
My hubby & I decided 2 years back to stop the pill, knowing my periods had a long history of being irregular. We weren't desperate to conceive back then. We went to see a specialist in feb11 who put me on metfirmin as i hadn't had a period since going off the pill. Blood tests and US confirmed PCOS. Since being on metformin, my blood sugar levels have reduced and i am having irregukar periods with approx 55day average cycle. Weight wise, I need lose 30kg, which. Lost 10 originally, but some has crept back on. The specialist says see won't put me on cloud until I reach 100kg mark. Her reasoning is the risk of miscarriage is much higher and we dn't want a 'bad outcome' So I have read all the basics, I know I should do Temp charting etC, but have trouble maintaining ongoing dedication to these. So although I need to be more committed to weight loss.... Do you think the specialist should be doing more for me? Eg more tests, putting me on clomid earlier? Should I be looking for a second opinion? I understand that I Am the one not doing everything I can( Lack of commitment and motivation) therefore won't be insulted if told so #2Posted 21 March 2012 - 01:12 AM
I had the same problem when I starting seeing my first fertility specialist in 2008. I had to get to 105 or below for clomid and 100 or below if we wanted to start IVF. I tried the metformin but had a bad reaction so it was no help. I managed to get to 105 to do the clomid and had 5 cycles before success, but I miscarried after 9 weeks and the wheels just fell off for me. My weight ballooned again and I couldn't handle the thought of TTC. That was in 2009. I am now hovering around the 100kg mark. My current fertility specialist hasn't made mention of it and I am healthier now than ever before. Things changed for me when I started seeing a naturopath. She was fantastic and I felt able to make lots of dietary changes that I had previously refused to make. I did a stomach cleanse and liver cleanse and wasn't feeling as sluggish anymore. Once I started to see the benefits from what she was doing, I felt like making changes myself. I still overeat (I can't deny it - I love food!) and although I do a bit I should be exercising more, but I am happy with where I'm at and it's not holding me back. I doubt you'll be able to avoid the weight loss issue with the specialists - the healthier your body, the better your chances when TTC. If only the motivation were easier to come by!

Thanks laineyD, I def think it's time to get more proactive! Weightloss journey starting!
#4Posted 21 March 2012 - 07:04 PM
I was at 100kg and my FS wanted me to lose 10 to 15kg, which I managed to do with Metformin, healthy eating and a bit of exercise. Any FS will tell you the same thing, weight loss will help you GET pregnant and STAY pregnant, plus OMG you need energy to look after a toddler!
If you have PCOS you'll benefit greatly from a low GI diet/eating plan. That helped me a lot. 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Letter: 'Big Daddy' Howell was generous with both his time and money
Roy N. Pullam, Henderson
He was called Big Daddy, and he loved it. Gaynor Howell was the paternal figure at the Salvation Army.
It was Gaynor who took the barrels to the school during our canned goods drive. It was Gaynor who supervised the bell ringers. It was Gaynor who hosted the Salvation Army Christmas party and the planning sessions for the golf tournament.
In the 12 years I worked with Gaynor, there was a consistent theme in his thoughts and actions that churches and community groups had a responsibility to the poor. Gaynor was a generous giver of both his time and his money. He was relentless in his efforts.
Gaynor and Barb were easy to love. He was quick to pass on a joke by email. He laughed hardily, and he loved his Lord. Because of his generous spirit, people were drawn to him.
As I think of the road ahead, it seems so hard. Gaynor was the heart of the Salvation Army, and we shall sorely miss him as they will miss his hard work at the First Baptist Church. But as Gaynor was apt to say when the going was tough, "We had better put on our big boy pants and get started." Gaynor, tonight those big boy pants don't seem to fit like they used to do.

WhiteWave Foods Reports Strong Second Quarter 2013 Results
On July 25, 2013, Dean Foods closed on the public offering of its remaining 34,400,000 shares of WhiteWave Class A common stock. Following the closing of this offering, Dean Foods no longer owns any shares of WhiteWave common stock. WhiteWave did not issue any new shares and did not receive any proceeds as part of this offering. There were 105,177,565 shares of WhiteWave Class A common stock outstanding and 67,913,310 shares of WhiteWave Class B common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2013.
"We reached the final milestone in our separation from Dean Foods in July, as Dean sold its remaining shares of WhiteWave," said Engles. "We have incredible brands, engaged and motivated employees, and a strong track record of growing our core businesses and successfully bringing innovative, great-tasting new products to market. As a completely independent company, WhiteWave Foods is well positioned to continue to grow and create shareholder value."
A webcast to discuss the Company's financial results and outlook will be held today, August 9, 2013, at 10:00 AM ET and may be heard live by visiting the "Investor Relations" section of the Company's website at www.whitewave.com/investor_relations. A slide presentation will accompany the webcast and a webcast replay will be available for approximately 45 days following the event within the Investor Relations section of the Company's website.
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Certain financial information in this release relates to periods prior to the Company's initial public offering in October 2012 (the "IPO") and the separation of our business from Dean Foods Company's other businesses. Prior to the IPO, the Company had nominal assets and no liabilities, and had conducted no operations. In connection with the IPO, Dean Foods contributed the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary WWF Operating Company ("WWF Opco") to the Company. At the time of the contribution, WWF Opco, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, held substantially all of the historical assets and liabilities related to the Company's current business. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the contribution of WWF Opco to the Company was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control under Dean Foods. As a result, we have retrospectively presented the unaudited pro forma adjusted condensed consolidated financial information of the Company and WWF Opco for all periods presented.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Needs update There is no "zoning" on the list.
what about afk? afk is away from keyboard
i hear a lot of this but i never understood what "na" meant "best morgana ever na" or whatever.... i only used morgana as an example but u get what i mean. what does na mean? D: not available? not america? north america. what?
Thanks for this great list. I have actually put a link to it in my Roles and Lanes guide. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=3160040
Could someone add 'leash'? I frequently get told to 'leash blue' or something similar and have no idea what it means
If someone asks you to leash blue, it means that they're going to need help killing blue buff. Killing it alone at level one will probably put them behind or dead. Leashing means attacking it some and then leaving. You don't want to stay too long or else you'll take your jungler's experience away and you run the risk of taking his buff. So attack some and then back off.
The list doesn't have ADC.

Contrary what others will tell you - I know, because the same question has been asked before - I think that ideas for short stories and ideas for novels are fundamentally different and one cannot be turned into the other.

It is like writing English. Obviously people in a fantasy world or the far future won't speak English, yet you present their dialogue in English (or whatever language you write in). Does that put readers off? Certainly not. Writing in a fantasy language is what would put readers off!
Terms are the same. If you use the current (in your language) general term ...
Yeah, mileages do vary, and your friend might just be an oddball reader. Don't worry about it too much. Just write your story the way you want to write it, and see if it works.

Possible routes to escape (they can be combined):
Luck - the captors make a mistake, or something completely unexpected happens that the hero can exploit.

Knowledge - the hero knows what the captors want, need or ...
While it's possible to expand a short story into a novel (c.f. Ender's Game), what seems more common in my experience (citation needed) is for the short story to become one part of a larger novel. Your short story is already a self-contained unit; what else is going on around those characters, in that setting, etc? Is there a bigger story that you can ...
An author cannot demonstrate in action every trait of every character. It's all about separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Jaime Lannister is probably not an example of telling instead of showing, and here's why:
The problem with "telling" is that it alienates readers from the
Another problem is that it creates characters that are ...
I would disagree on this. I believe that the showing and not telling rule is followed mostly on the facts that are directly relevant to the story. Indirect relevance of facts are given by the back story. Jamie's swordsmanship is important to A Song of Fire and Ice. But it's not directly relevant to A Game of Thrones. However, it is directly relevant to A ...
That's not a comma splice; that's a statement followed by an elaboration.1 The second does not stand alone, so a semicolon there would be incorrect.

An excellent question, and a permanent source of controversy and disagreement in fantasy and science fiction. Let's try to break this down:

You first described it as "set in the late 1920s", and then later said you were "writing pseudo-historically in an alternate universe". I'm not bringing this up to nit-pick your question but, rather, to point out that these are two different things. There is historical fiction, where authors try to remain accurate, and there is alternate history, where ...
One thing to remember is that our concept of time and specifically splitting much of our experience into units of time ("he held his breath for a second" and "I'll see you in 15 minutes" and "It will take 3 hours to walk to the next village") is very modern and evolved in the context of timepieces of increasing accuracy.

You only have to watch Downton Abbey to realize that the 1920s were a period of rapid social upheaval in the UK.

You CAN and SHOULD go back, rewrite a section so that he can pull a rabbit, pixie, lockpick, magic spell, etc. from his ass, so that he can save the day (or his ass) in this situation. Go back several chapters. Reveal that he has been studying the forbidden and damned ...
He'll have been carefully searched, sure, but that might not be enough to find everything. And a good idea when hiding something, is never do - always hide two things, because when one gets found, they usually stop looking.
A character of mine (with a reputation for low cunning, but not exactly intelligence) was captured. Before leaving, his captor gloated ...
I have seen books where the author prefaces the book by saying it's a translation of some other-worldly book, and then goes on to use real-world languages as a stand-in for the in-world languages.
Tolkien did this to a minor degree when he used some more archaic English words for the Rohirrim, whose language was meant to be like an older form of the ...
It depends on the kind of story you're trying to tell, and the experience you want the reader to have.
I think that in your case, since you are creating characters which are meant to be read as archetypes rather than rounded people, you're fine with the Doylist (meta) approach.
If you do include metacharacters, then the metacharacters are the ones who ...
There are hugely different types of books. There is fiction written with no regard of possible readers, merely to experiment with language and style and literary conventions, to express the inner truth of the author, to analyse society, to create art, etc. And there is fiction written to sell as many books as possible and to make a lot of money with this ...
I'm assuming you're referring only to the main protagonist or narrator.
I think it depends on whether or not you are writing in first person. If you are, it's going to be a lot easier to do without having to say 'the boy in the ragged shirt' or 'the youth' every two sentences or so. If used correctly, it could add an element of mystery to the entire novel. ...
I won't try to describe it, but here's how I would go about it:
Put myself deep inside Brave's viewpoint. Notice what details she is taking in through her senses (see, hear, smell, touch, taste). Especially focus on her opinions of those sensory details. Whatever she has an opinion about, write that. Stay with her senses and opinions.
In his book Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer (by Roy Peter Clark).
He mentions a couple of ways that you can add suspense and tension:
By delaying the main subject and verb
His example:
Before the prayer warriors massed outside her window, before gavels
pounded in six courts, before the Vatican issues a statement, before
It depends on how your story is structured and where you might like to expand.
A story that takes place in a single day would be more difficult to expand, but if the inciting incident takes place a month before it would be simple to add in more detail of how the protagonist gets from point A to point B. You could also show events prior to the inciting ...
M.Y.T.H. Inc. comes to mind, and possibly Dinotopia. H.P. Lovecraft's work, while more focused on horror, contains elements of both fantasy and science.
I don't always recommend these guys because sometimes they have tips I don't think are great, but Writer's Digest has a pretty good article on this.
The main thing I think you need to do is connect us more to the main character (basically the first point in the Writer's Digest article). The main character seems really rushed. I tried to remember the main ...
Unless there's a fantastic reason for not being specific (i.e. doing so for some specific effect), keeping the reader up-to-date is usually the best idea. Readers like clarity, they don't like to be confused, and they get angry if they feel they've been misled (mystery novels are an exception -- readers expect to be misled). Always be honest with the reader, ...
Quick glance into European novels and movies: One of my favourite Czech writer is Jiří Kulhánek (link goes to English wiki page), who always writes in first person, his stories are (almost) always set in Prague, present time, there is (almost) always reference to actual things happening at the time when book is written ... but also, once he claims he is ...
Another possibility that has not yet been mentioned is magic that works differently on humans and goblins. For example, the hero could have worn an amulet that offers some magic protection for humans, but has a very bad effect on any goblin wearing it. Of course the goblins would have stolen that amulet, but not knowing about its special properties, some ...

Maybe I'm missing something here...
...but I just tuned into a live press conference in which the president is apparently discussing the high cost of malpractice insurance in the state of Pennsylvania, a cost which, he argues, forces physicians to move away and practice elsewhere: So what happens is, doctors say gosh, I can't afford it here in Pennsylvania, I'm moving. I'll just take my heart and my skills to another community where I can afford it. When that happens, somebody hurts. Somebody doesn't have the care, some mom fixin' to have a baby, wonders out loud--when she wonders out loud whether or not the doc is going to be there to deliver the baby, heard a story by the way today about that. It's a sad situation. Lot of uncertainty in our society. Lawsuits run up the cost for you the patient. But they also create a sense of uncertainty in America for people who need the stability of good care. Um, okay. But if the issue here is the high cost of malpractice insurance in Pennsylvania, and Bush's argument hinges on physicians (or "docs," if you prefer) who are forced to leave the state because of those costs, then why is he telling us about a doctor who is moving from Scranton to Hershey--which are, of course, both Pennsylvania cities?
January 15, 2003
Okay , one quick one
WASHINGTON - Pledging to build a culture that respects life, President Bush is declaring a National Sanctity of Human Life Day. Story here. I assume the forehead-slappingly obvious irony of this speaks for itself. Update: I did not realize this was an encore. August reports: This is not the first time Bush declared such a "holiday." He did this last year, as I recall from a comic I made almost a year ago to this day. You may have noticed...
...that work and life are taking precedence over blogging this week, here at thismodernworld.com. I always feel a little silly mentioning my periodic absences--I'm sorry, my devoted fans, I shall return and bestow more pearls of wisdom upon you as soon as I am able--but when I don't, I get a bunch of mail asking where I am, am I okay, etc., etc. So: I'm fine, just busy. I'll pick up the slack when I can. In the meantime, there are many fine blogs listed over on the links page. I'd like to make particular note of the indefatigable Atrios, who is all over the Pickering story, among other things. Just scroll down.

I found this product 6 years ago, my horse was hit by a tractor trailer and a cantalope size section of her left hind end torn away. I used this product as directed and her wound healed in roughly 3 months. Since then I have used it on various other injuries that could not be stiched close and have had wonderful results. I recommend this product to all of my friends. It can be used on injuries that have been stitched close by a vet and it speeds the healing. The only thing else I recommend is to apply vaseline below the wound area so that the draining fluids from the wounds won't take the hair off.

Last week's Nintendo Direct conference was pretty 3DS heavy, but Nintendo announced a few Wii U and Virtual Console bits of news as well, including the fact that they will bring EarthBound to the Virtual Console. Earthbound is actually #2 in a Japan-only trilogy known as Mother, and of course die-hard fans here in the US are begging for Nintendo to also release the third game, Mother 3, which was released on the GameBoy Advance.
One fan, Clyde Mandelin, wants to bring Mother 3 to the Virtual Console so badly, he's offered free translation work to Nintendo on the Mother 3 translation blog:
I realize that localizing a game this size can cost a lot, so if it'll help in even the slightest, I'll gladly offer to let Nintendo use my text translation files for any use at all, completely for free. I'll even edit the files to fit whatever new standards are necessary (content, formatting, memory size, etc.), completely for free. I'll even retranslate everything from scratch if need be. Just whatever it takes to get an official release out.
In the end, if localizing Mother 3 should ever come up in a Nintendo business meeting or whatever and someone brings up budget concerns or it costing too much, my hope is that someone will at least mention this offer too, even if it isn't accepted.
I'm sure he's not the first person to ever offer Nintendo free translation work on a game they want localized, so while it's doubtful Nintendo will ever take him up on his offer, that's pretty awesome he would offer so much of his time for this game.
I missed the EarthBound craze, as I never owned a SNES in my young gaming days. Are you excited about EarthBound's entry into the Virtual Console? Soon you can play it legally!
barasawa | Apr 22 2013, 11:43 am EDT | |
These days, not designing a project to be easily translated right from the start is just plain stupid, and it's been that way for over a decade now. |

Forbidden Love by xrawrxlovex
Summary: With so MANY Legolas fans, there really should be more incest with Thranduil. I issue a challenge for any kind of fic involving incest between Legolas and Thranduil, as long as it doesn't involve soulmate-y love. Molestation, rape, lust, longing, curiousity, loneliness, desperation, anything but: No "marriage" type love. Father-son love + sexual activity = okay.

Martin's Tour of Richmond rolls through Henrico
Citizen Staff Reports 10/04/12
The first annual Martin's Tour of Richmond cycling event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6. This Gran Fondo will feature a full 102-mile loop around Richmond as well as a 59-mile option and a 29-mile option. Gran Fondos, or "big ride" in Italian, are long distance, mass-participation cycling events – not races. Participation is open to recreational and competitive amateur cyclists. The full 102-mile course starts at Richmond International Raceway at 7 a.m. The 59-mile course starts at the J. Sargeant Reynolds Goochland Campus at 10 a.m. and the 29-mile course starts at Patrick Henry High School in Hanover at 12:30 p.m. All riders finish at the Richmond Raceway Complex where a post-ride celebration will feature live entertainment, beer and barbecue. The race will briefly interfere with road traffic in Henrico at the following areas: Walk-up registration Oct. 5-6 is $50 to $115. The event charity is Bike/Walk RVA, an advocacy program committed to making the Richmond area more bike and pedestrian friendly.

RAMPS receives $8k grant
Citizen Staff Reports 03/03/2015
RAMPS (Ramp Access Made Possible by Students) recently received an $8,000 grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The award was one of 75 grants totaling more than $600,137 awarded by the Reeve Foundation to nonprofit organizations nationwide that provide more opportunities, access, and daily quality of life for individuals living with paralysis, their families and caregivers.
RAMPS, an organization founded by then-Henrico County high school students to build ramps for local low-income residents who need them, will use the grant to purchase modular wheelchair ramp supplies. These supplies will be used by local high school RAMPS clubs, who provide volunteers to build the ramps. > Read more.

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.
Soak up the fun
'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

Utilizing a unique and innovative "quilted" design, the lightweight and compact Big Agnes Insulated Q-Core inflatable sleeping pad combines warmth (R-value of 5.0) and comfort for year-round backpacking and camping.
Utilizing a layer of internal insulation to achieve a warm R-value of 4.1, the lightweight and compact Big Agnes Insulated Air Core inflatable sleeping pad is ideal for 3-season backpacking.
The innovative, inflatable Klymit Insulated Static Vsleeping pad employs a unique weight-saving pocketed V-chamber design and utilizes Primaloft insulation to deliver warmth and comfort for year-round backpacking use.
The warm (R-value of 4.8), multi-purpose Therm-a-Rest Women's Trail Lite self-inflating mattress is designed specifically for campers as well as budget-minded backpackers who want one mattress that can do it all.
Combining lightweight construction, rugged durability and a comfortable 2-inch thickness, the Therm-a-Rest Trail Pro self-inflating mattress offers versatility for backpacking, camping or general travel.
Updated for 2015! The Therm-a-Rest Women's ProLite Plus self-inflating sleeping pad tackles all but the absolute coldest conditions. A 4.6 R-value grants the pad warmth for 4-season use.
The lightweight Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest Solar is a heat-reflecting update to the classic RidgeRest Deluxe. This durable closed-cell foam pad's aluminized surface works with integrated heat-trapping contours to offer year-round comfort.
With an R-value of 3.8, the Exped SynMat Lite 5 sleeping pad and its warm microfiber insulation and lightweight packability allow even ounce-counting backpackers to enjoy confident comfort for 3+ season use.
Combining lightweight construction, rugged durability and a comfortable 2 inch thickness, the Therm-a-Rest Women's Trail Pro self-inflating mattress offers versatility for backpacking, camping or general travel.
These inflatable pads use air for cushioning. They're lightweight and pack smaller than closed-cell foam or self-inflating mattresses.
Open-cell foam absorbs air to self-inflate. These pads are more comfortable than closed-cell foam and don't have the "bounciness" of air mattresses.
Light, warm and inexpensive, these mats are ideal for beginners, no-frills hikers and as an underpad for winter camping.
Mattresses fine-tuned to maximize women's sleeping comfort.

Ludacris - Helluva Night
Artist: Ludacris
Producer: DJ Mustard
Album: I Don't Give a F**k
Avg Rating: 2.2 ( 13 votes )
After a long week of work, school, or just general drudgery, it's only fitting that you have an awesome Friday night. Whether you are going to a club, a party, or just keeping it casual with a few drinks, make sure you have a Helluva Night by playing Ludacris' latest single. On this intoxicant-laden effort, featuring Luda's more slurred, against-the-grain style, the ATL mainstay shares his plans for Friday - which unsurprisingly includes ladies, weed, and a truckload of booze - atop DJ Mustard's oozing, spacey production. You can have a helluva weekend by downloading Luda's recently-released, free project I Don't Give A F**k.

Is There Really an 'I' in a DevOps Team?
Paul Muller, Damon Edwards, Tina Sturgis, HP
Feb 24 2015
60 mins
The answer is YES! The 'I' in team doesn't represent one single person in the apps development plan, rather it highlights the transformation of the once silo'd teams who support specific functions within the app lifecycle. The straight line of the 'I' symbolizes the one team approach that is making DevOps successful. Operations people are showing up in the testing phase of the application and the apps people are doing some measures and monitoring in operations. Recently, TechTarget named DevOps as one of six major data center trends for 2015. DevOps is no longer a new way to think about transformation; it is the ONLY way to bring together the silos that weigh down your business' bottom line.
Join our lively panel discussion with DevOps industry experts Paul Muller and Damon Edwards as they discuss:
Common problems in traditional DevOps teams
How these teams have changed to truly transform and become innovators
How you can apply these ideas to your business to boost your bottom line

Dante DeWitt, Former CIO, BMO Financial Corp. | Sue Becker, Productivity Trainer and Coach, Spark Productivity
Feb 24 2015
62 mins
The holy grail of enterprise software is the achievement of positive return on investment (ROI). If the technology happens to be user-friendly, that is a nice bonus. Such a combination can be tough to come by, but smart organizations are learning that business productivity search can not only pay for itself, but also drive more value by making workers more efficient and effective. Join us for a complimentary webinar that will show you how to make the business case for business productivity search.
Our special guests, Dante DeWitt, former CIO of Wells Fargo and Bank of Montreal, and productivity expert Sue Becker, will provide real-world perspectives and best practices for business productivity search. Dante will illustrate how business productivity search provides meaningful ROI in a way that traditional enterprise search cannot. While Sue will share some of the horror stories of how the explosion of digital information has made us less productive than we can be. Sue will also offer some strategies and best practices for remaining productive by mixing process and technology together. Such productivity is especially important in today's information economy.
This webinar will demonstrate how business productivity search provides real ROI. Attendees will learn:
- How business productivity search produces value by putting the end-user search experience first
- Why personal memory recall is the best analytical engine for business productivity search
- How to best deploy search solutions in all IT infrastructures
- How to achieve ROI on enterprise search in ways never seen in the past
- That search can be like BASF – it can make many other technology deployments better, including VDI, SharePoint, and Enterprise Vault

CART IRL Go Head To Head
May 12, 2000 | 12:00 A.M. EST
After completing a CART race Saturday in Japan, series champion Juan Montoya and teammate Jimmy Vasser will fly to Indianapolis to begin preparations for the 500 on May 28. They have accounted for the first and last of owner Chip Ganassi's unprecedented four straight CART titles.
"We're excited about our current drivers," said Brian Barnhart, the IRL's director of racing operations. "The Greg Rays and the Scott Sharps and the Scott Goodyears and the Jeff Wards of the world are extremely talented, and we certainly welcome Chip Ganassi Racing as well as Derrick Walker."
Walker is the only other CART owner who will field a car, although his will be driven by 19-year-old IRL regular Sarah Fisher.
In addition to the CART crossovers, three former champions -- Al Unser Jr., Buddy Lazier and Eddie Cheever -- are in the field. But Kenny Brack, who left the IRL for CART, will not defend his title.
So, with practice set to start Saturday, it's already beginning to look a lot more like the Indy 500 of old. Other things won't change, either. The race pays a record purse of $9 million, and the usual 400,000 will be in attendance for the race.
"I've been doing things on other Sundays for four years now, and it'll be nice," said Vasser, who qualified third Friday behind Montoya for the Firestone Firehawk 500 in Montegi, Japan. "Our primary goal is to win the CART championship, and now our second-biggest goal is to win this race."
He nearly did that before the open-wheel split of 1996 gave birth to the IRL and ended CART's participation in the event. Vasser finished fourth in 1994, and crashed while leading in 1995.
"It is the biggest race going," Vasser said. "There's no doubt about that."
The biggest name coming back to Indianapolis, however, is Unser, a two-time Indy 500 and CART champion now in the IRL with Galles Racing, the same team for whom he won the race in 1992.
Last month, in the Vegas Indy 300, Unser got his first IRL victory. That ended a five-year drought.
"We've got great momentum," Unser said. "We don't think we can win in the IRL; we know we can win. There's a big difference.
Unser won the last time he raced at the Brickyard, taking the 500 in 1994 for Roger Penske.
Unser and then-teammate Emerson Fittipaldi did not qualify in 1995.
Penske, who changed his mind about entering his own cars, instead recently agreed to a sponsorship deal with Treadway Racing for rookie driver Jason Leffler.
Besides Montoya, Leffler and Fisher, other rookies expected to compete for starting spots are Airton Dare, Doug Didero, Dan Drinan, Memo Gidley, Andy Hillenburg, Sam Hornish Jr., Ronnie Johncox, Guy Smith and Jaques Lazier _ Buddy's younger brother.
Other rookies who passed a driving test last month but do not have cars include Casey Mears, nephew of four-time winner Rick Mears; Ross Cheever, Eddie's younger brother; and Shigeaki Hattori of Japan.
The 33 starters will be determined in qualifications May 20-21.

recipe reviews for:
"Chicken breasts, black beans, corn, and zesty spices make up the filling of a layered casserole topped with tortillas, a Mexican-inspired creamy sauce, and cheese. It's great served with your choice of toppings like sour cream, guacamole, sliced avocados, sliced black olives, or whatever else you like."
