Modern web search engines are complex software systems using the technology that has evolved over the years. There are several categories of search engine software: Web search engines (example: Lucene), database or structured data search engines (example: Dieselpoint), and mixed search engines or enterprise search (example: Google Search Appliance). The largest web search engines such as Google and Yahoo! utilize tens or hundreds of thousands of computers to process billions of web pages and return results for thousands of searches per second.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/17/14
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated.) By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer With one mighty swat, J.J. Watt knocked down Andy Dalton's pass, intercepted it and returned it for a touchdown in last year's playoff win over Cincinnati for one of the biggest plays in Texans' history. A year later, the second-year defensive end is one of the league's top defenders, and he'll need another big game to help Houston regain its form after losing three of its last four games. Watt wasn't too keen on reliving that play Tuesday, saying only: ''That was last year and this is this year. I have things to focus on this year. It was a great play, a huge moment in my life, but I'm looking forward to making bigger moments this year.'' --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Fandom: Deltora Quest
Pairing: Lief x Dain
Summary: Suggested by my very lovely and talented friend Hija, with whom I have a pretty exceptional deal; I write stuff and she draws. She suggested the general concept of Dain as a teen delinquent. I took it a bit too seriously. Heaven help you all.
This is the only high school AU I will ever write. I hate the things. xD The title was taken from the song of the same name by The Dresden Dolls.
Warnings: mental illness
gravity plays favourites i know because i saw
honest to god, officer, it's awful (awful)
down at work i'm getting too familiar with the floor
trading in my talents by the mouthful
"Is there anything you want to tell me, Dain?"
"No, Mrs. Rodda," I say quietly, keeping my gaze in my lap. She sighs. They all do, after a while. They can't understand it; how the shy boy in the back of Advanced History can go from fawnlike to fanatic in a matter of moments. It's alright. I can't, either.
"Obviously this isn't something we can easily overlook," she tells me steadily, "Bede could have been seriously hurt."
I don't bother to tell her that Bede is an asshole who has thought he was hot shit ever since he got elected for Arts Prefect, in spite of the fact that all this really means is that he has a copy of the theatre key and can sneak in with his girlfriend to fuck in the wings when nobody's using it. That would, of course, damage my credibility.
"I didn't mean to." My voice sounds soft. Pathetic. I'm making myself angry, although I know better than to let it show. "It was an accident."
As in, he called me a faggot and I 'accidentally' slammed his head against a wall and broke his nose. She doesn't seem much more convinced than I am, but she doesn't call me out. She's pretty cool, Mrs. Rodda, for a principal. I try not to shove her back when she wheels her chair around her desk to sit beside me instead.
"Is everything alright at home?" she asks gently.
"It's fine." I think my eyes are watering but I can't really feel them. I never can when I'm like this. "Please don't call Jarred."
She pauses for a moment, which is how I know she's going to do it anyway. Then she stands up and pats my shoulder.
"I know you're a good kid, Dain," she lies, "You can go back to class now."
"Thank you," I say numbly.
I don't go back to class. I sit by the dumpster behind the Social Science block and have a cigarette because my hands won't stop shaking. I need my meds. They're at home. Can't get back in the house without Jasmine's key, and she's in Maths.
Simple stress melts into anxiety and silent, aching rage that yearns to tear out through my skin and leave big, bloody gashes down my arms. I wish I'd smashed Bede's face a bit harder, even though I know that won't make the feeling go away. It never does; not really. Sometimes I think it might never go away and it will boil under my skin for the rest of my life; which might not even be that long, if I carry on like this. That's what everyone says when they think I can't hear them.
"Very troubled young man. Such a shame."
Fuck them, anyway.
I have to move, though, because the janitor is coming around to empty some of the bins into the tip. It's not that I care, but last time he saw me smoking he asked if I wanted to know where to buy some pot. If I'm going to get arrested, it's going to be for something glamorous like first degree murder, not bloody pot. I stub the cigarette out on the ground then crush it too hard under my foot, grind it into the ground until I'm sure all the embers are dead.
I don't respond when the janitor mumbles something about whether or not I want to meet the Shadow Lord. I have quite enough crazy in my life already.
Nobody noticed I was gone in last period except Lief, of course; which is hilarious, really, since he's not even in my class. He's Jasmine's best friend from when they were kids and when her dad adopted me he came over every day for a fucking week to stare at me and give me books or sweets. I can't really remember much of that, but I've still got the books. They're all the same; knights and dragons and grand adventures that none of us would ever get to go on. Lief loves that crap.
"Are you okay? I didn't see you on the way to English."
"Sorry. Mrs. Rodda wanted to see me." I try to look embarrassed, since he tends to fall for that. Predictably, he does.
"About Bede? He didn't hurt you, right?"
"I'm fine." I manage a twitchy little smile, even though my stomach's turning. My arms are itching like I need to scratch them open. He offers me a smile right back, and I quickly change the subject; "Where's Jasmine?"
"Still talking to Barda, I think. Sorry, you must have been waiting for her…"
"It's alright. I don't mind."
Our feet swing gently over the edge of the bench. I try not to think about hurting him, but it's getting easier. I just have to sit still and focus on my breathing. He sits beside me, blissfully unaware, reading all the tacky posters the Health teacher keeps putting up. My personal favourite says 'THIS IS A NO HITTING PLACE' in giant block letters on a pink and yellow background. What are we, five?
It's a little while before I realise his feet aren't swinging any more and he's looking over at me sort of curiously, like a lost puppy waiting for someone to feed it. I frown at him and he balks, turning his face away again. Then he wets his lips cautiously to speak. "Dain. I really need to talk to you about something."
My stomach twists and I shift away ever so slightly. For me, 'we really need to talk' tends to lead to things like 'this kind of behaviour is not acceptable'.
('…you're going to be moving in with Mr Hill and his daughter.'
'Did you start the fire, Dain?'
'We'll start you on 600mg…')
"Dain! We've got to go!" Thank God for Jasmine. I've dodged yet another bullet; now I just have to watch out to see who will fire the next one. "Dad's picking us up."
I wish I'd stayed at the dumpster. I wish I'd climbed into the dumpster and waited there with the rest of the rubbish until the truck came and crushed me down into nothing. It must show on my face because Jasmine's eyes widen and she asks, in the manner of one who has asked many, many times before; "Alright, what did you do?"
I don't say anything. I look down at my lap so I don't have to see the exasperation on her face or, worse, the pity on Lief's. She sighs.
(They all do, after a while.)

Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman is the condensed version of his noteworthy book he authored for Harvard Business Review. The work focuses on the 5 key elements of ei, and how to use those most effectively in business leadership. After describing the core elements of good ei, Goleman then describes how an understanding of this is critical to effective organizational leadership both inside and outside an enterprise of any kind. Goleman broke new ground with his work because he emphasizes not so much how to use ei as to what it is and why an effective manager must have a talent for ei or be doomed to not do well in his or her organizational tasks. Simply believes this short work is more practical for the listener than the longer one and hope you will feel the same way. The very shortness permits frequent relistening to refine your ei, something all of us need from time to time.

Interesting.. I've never been 100% happy looking at my Raymarine plastic impellor thru-hull knowing how certain plastics can harden and go brittle.
I remember a pair of ski boots.. they were perfect for about ten years.. then one day the plastic they were made from just cracked and one boot broke into a dozen pieces.. When off the slope I dropped the other boot and the same happend to it.. (and a good brand make they were!)
Thinking now about the spare bronze straight thru-hull I have in my spares locker.. It could easily fit.. The question would be how to make the threaded section at the top to take the impellor screw cap.. At least I'd know the thur-hull hole would be secure... Thoughts?

Well, I have one of the NASA units. The chap who fitted it (previous owner) glassed it in so thoroughly that I dread ever having to replace it! it's in the middle of a small fibreglass mountain.
It did start to weep a small amount of water (when going to windward in a chop) after about 8 years service, but NASA gave me some new O rings (free of charge!) and it seems OK now.
It does seem surprising that, with all the fuss about seacocks and skin fittings, we trust our boat to a cheap flimsy bit of plastic (this is not a dig at NASA, it seems that plenty of other manufacturers do the same) and, usually, get away with it. Clearly, plastic skin fittings (slightly more substantial, perhaps) are the way to go ... after all, most boats are plastic ...

Thank you for this thread
Having read this thread yesterday I decided to check my NASA clipper log skin fitting today and to my horror found hairline cracks on the inside of the bore just 2-3mm from the bottom just as predicted. The backnut is not glassed in but the previous owner who installed it about 5 years ago had encapsulated it in Sikaflex.
Managed to pick up a new skin fitting from my local chandlers this afternoon so guess what tomorrow's job will be?
Thank you for this thread! Without it I would have put my boat back in blissfully unaware. http://www.ybw.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Just removed the old fitting. It was easy . All I had to do was push a puttey knife under the flange from the outside and half the flange fell off. There was antifoul stain on the old fractured surface showing it had been fractured for some time. The other half of the flange was still holding but it soon broke off with the putty knife. The whole fitting then just pulled out from the inside.
I was doublely glad when I removed it as I found the Nasa unit which requires a dia 42mm hole had been fitted in a previously drilled dia 53mm hole - With lots of Sikaflex as a gap filler. This would have helped the stress cracking process no doubt.
I've now cleaned up the hole and cast some filled epoxy into it. I'll redrill at the correct diameter when it's set.
I have one question however.
I read on here recently that the sealant CT1 is better that Sikaflex for below the waterline applications. I bought some as a result of that to fare-in around my keel joint. Looks good for that job but I won't know till next lift out.
It says on the tube that CT1 is solvent free and OK to use on plastics such as polystyrene so I was thinking I would use it for the Nasa skin fitting. Does anyone on here have an opinion on that please?

So I've been gluten free for 2 1/2 years. My doctor has been wanting me to do a gluten challenge and I've refused.
However, my middle son was diagnosed with Autism recently and as part of the full physical workup his pediatrician wants him tested for Celiac as well as all the other possible metabolic/genetic issues that can show up in kids with autism. Sounds rational to me and I figured that if I have to feed him gluten for the whole summer it would be almost impossible for me to avoid cross contamination so I might as well do the challenge as well.
Week 1 was fantastic! I ate all the things I have missed. Croissants, good bread, cinnamon buns, homemade goodies, burgers at restaurants.... I have to admit I really, really enjoyed the first several days. However, today is day 12 and the back pain and nausea hit me hard last night. I was up at 5 this morning because my back hurt too much to continue lying down and I'm cranky and nauseous.
I can't decide what to do.
Continue gluten challenge?
Pros: I am enjoying the food, I could proceed with testing, it's easier to do my son's challenge if I am not gluten-free myself, there are still foods on my bucket list I haven't eaten yet
This is my 3rd attempt at a gluten challenge, the other 2 attempts didn't even last a full day, if I bail on this one I will never try again so as far as testing goes, it's now or never.
Cons: I feel really sick and sore and that's not going to go away until I ditch the gluten again.
Mostly I'm just really disappointed. I had hoped when my first week went so well that I had somehow magically healed my gluten issues and I could go back to all the foods I love and miss.
What to do, what to do.

Barnes & Noble Inc. reported a larger-than-expected loss for its fiscal third quarter and gave little indication that the holidays would be much brighter.
The New York-based bookseller said significantly lower customer traffic and spending at its stores drove down profit. It reduced its sales and earnings forecasts for the rest of the year, even though the holiday season is traditionally a strong time for the company.
Barnes & Noble reported a loss of $18.4 million, or 34 cents a share, in the quarter ended Nov. 1 compared with a profit of $4.4 million, or 7 cents, a year earlier. Excluding a charge to reduce the value of some store locations, the loss totaled 21 cents a share.
Revenue fell to $1.12 billion from $1.18 billion. Same-store sales, a key indicator of a retailer's health, declined 7.4%.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a loss of 16 cents a share on revenue of $1.17 billion. Analyst expectations typically exclude one-time charges.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Stand is the second book I've read by Stephen King; the first was The Tommyknockers (which I just loved, although I know I'm in the minority, since it appears to be one of the least favorite of his books). Back to the subject. The Stand was a page turner from the start, until the four men left Boulder to go to Las Vegas. It got slower for me at that point; it took forever to get there - It didn't pick up again for me until just after the explosion in Las Vegas and Tom found Stu - and it stayed great until the end. I probably won't read most of King's most popular books, they'll undoubtedly scare me to death, but hope to read more of his that are not horror stories. I've learned that King is a fabulous writer - one that can grab you from the first page and not let you go until the last one.
A very entertaining story - an American version of Good versus Evil, Tolkien style. Parts of this book are difficult to digest - the characters aren't perfect, make mistakes, and are sometimes a bit unsavory. That only makes King's work all the better.
Part survivalist, part adventure, part fantasy, The Stand is a book that speaks of the ultimate transformation. The protagonists aren't some ultra-gifted perfect specimens, but just your average guys and gals from East Texas, New York, or New England. They're imperfect, sometimes even evil. Over the course of this long, long read, you'll get to see how ordinary people can adapt to do extraordinary things when the situation calls for it. Even more incredible is that some characters, no matter how screwed up, hateful, or just plain bad, can always make a stand for something good and change everything.
Also, I try to not get too invested into a single character in any book I read - but Tom Cullen is awesome. "Laws yes", Tom Cullen is one of the best characters Stephen King ever dreamed up in that crazy mind of his.
Well worth the effort of tackling this behemoth.
One of my all-time favorites. It's about the final stand, at the end of the world, between good and evil. It's great.
I read the edited version 20 years ago. This was even more satisfying. Sets the standard for apocalyptic fiction.
My favorite book of all time. Let me tell you up front, I am extremely hard to bring to tears. That being said, there were parts during this novel that just got the water works going and got them going good. This book gives you and in depth look in to the lives of so many different characters as "Captain Trips" takes its course. You become attached to and feel for every character in this book. Good and bad. Mother Abigail and Randall Flagg.
Stephen King shows his true inner genius in this novel. He shows the different aspects of society adjusting to major changes. Also the ending in this book is great. I highly recommend this book. It has major length but it is well worth the time spent reading it.
In short (well, not so short), this is the book that has everything - adventure, romance, prophecy, allegory, satire, fantasy, realism, apocalypse, etc., etc. Even Roger Rabbit gets mentioned. ''The Stand'' does have some great moments and some great lines... But the overall effect is more oppressive than imposing.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0451169530, Mass Market Paperback)In 1978, science fiction writer Spider Robinson wrote a scathing review of The Stand in which he exhorted his readers to grab strangers in bookstores and beg them not to buy it.
The Stand is like that. You either love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it. Stephen King's most popular book, according to polls of his fans, is an end-of-the-world scenario: a rapidly mutating flu virus is accidentally released from a U.S. military facility and wipes out 99 and 44/100 percent of the world's population, thus setting the stage for an apocalyptic confrontation between Good and Evil.
"I love to burn things up," King says. "It's the werewolf in me, I guess.... The Stand was particularly fulfilling, because there I got a chance to scrub the whole human race, and man, it was fun! ... Much of the compulsive, driven feeling I had while I worked on The Stand came from the vicarious thrill of imagining an entire entrenched social order destroyed in one stroke."
There is much to admire in The Stand: the vivid thumbnail sketches with which King populates a whole landscape with dozens of believable characters; the deep sense of nostalgia for things left behind; the way it subverts our sense of reality by showing us a world we find familiar, then flipping it over to reveal the darkness underneath. Anyone who wants to know, or claims to know, the heart of the American experience needs to read this book. --Fiona Webster

As I am writing this, it is 11 p.m. on Christmas night and I am sitting here feeling like a fool with tears in my eyes.
I had a wonderful Christmas. In the afternoon, we were with close friends and it was festive. We decided that it would be a relaxing night. Maybe some football, but mostly old movies.
I looked at Turner Classic Movies and saw that 1937's "Make Way For Tomorrow" was coming on later in the evening. I had never heard of it and a nostalgia nut I called never had either. I decided to give it a try and although it was not a happy movie, I am so glad I did. Tears are cathartic and plenty fell during that film.
The movie was about an elderly couple who brought up five children. Now in their golden years, the bank was taking back the couple's big, old house.
The grown children and their spouses did not really want the parents to move in with them. The father left to live with one daughter, who said she had room only for one. The mother lived with one son many miles away. His wife and daughter found this lovely little old lady a nuisance and decided that she should go live in a home for aged women.
It is later decided the old man would go out and live with one child in California. However, they only had room for him. Nevermind that one daughter had enough money to take a trip to Europe with her husband, who would not hear of taking in her parents.
The elderly couple spent the last 15 minutes of the movie together. He met her in New York before he was to take the train to California. We felt the love as they visited the hotel where they spent their honeymoon 50 years before. They got on the dance floor and on the way back to the train station sang "Let Me Call You Sweetheart."
When the train left, with her sadly waving goodbye, it was understood that this moment was their last together.
I was stunned. Didn't old movies have happy endings? I loved this movie so much. There were no profanities. There was no sex or violence.
It was, however, one of the most intimate love stories I have ever seen.
At the end of the day, it's not the trips you have taken or your huge house. What really matters is that true love really exists.Although I am crying at my computer, I am thankful that I was once again was reminded of life's real treasures.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Come to beautiful vacation home Casa Dulce, a simple, open-air rancho style home located on the scenic Osa peninsula of Costa Rica on a private two-acre preserve. Bring your family, friends or that special someone to slow down, take your life at a different pace, and see how much clearer everything is when you step back in to the peace, quiet and privacy of what feels like another world.
Our house is a traditional "open-air" rancho design. The design is loft-style with two sleeping areas upstairs and one downstairs. The beds are all double size with mosquito net canopies over each. Each bed has its own reading light and fan. There is a full kitchen complete with stove, refrigerator, hot water and all cooking utensils. There is a dry-room lock-up for valuables such as cameras and wallets, etc...
The living room adjoins the kitchen area with a couch and easy chair. The kitchen has a nice family table (seating for four)...all with a beautiful view of the ocean.
The front porch is the highlight of the house with its beautiful Cristobel bar and bar stools overlooking the pool and kitchen area. Imagine sitting by the pool, watching the breakers roll in while catching a glimpse of the scarlet macaws flying overhead and the monkeys scampering by to get coconuts from the trees on the beach. It's paradise found.
Come to relax and enjoy the solitude of the private two-acre preserve!

Rick Hardy, spent more than a decade visiting Mexico for his sand and surf fix, but after some prodding from a Costa Rican college friend he decided to visit Costa Rica. One visit and it was no more Mexico for him! He had found paradise and promptly bought beautiful Casa Dulce in 1991.
Since that time, Rick and his family have enjoyed escaping the hustle and bustle of the States by retreating to Casa Dulce twice a year.
"When we come down here life just seems to slow down and we realize how little we need to get by and still be happy. In fact, we're happier here than we are in the States with all of the trappings of the modern world.
One of the things we love the most about coming down here is 'family time'. When we are in the States, everyone is so busy, we hardly ever see each other, much less take the time to sit down together to work on a puzzle, play a board game, or just talk with one another. That's probably my favorite reason for coming to Casa Dulce."
-- Rick Hardy
I have been going to the Osa since the late '80's and I can honestly say that Casa Dulce is one of the finest places in Matapalo. If you like to surf, riding waves at Pan Dulce will (if you're lucky enough to make it all the way to the beach on what I call "A Walk-Back" ride) deposit you right at the foot of the stairs up to the house. Imagine dropping in at the take-off rock, making it through those tricky sections, wrap around the corner and head on home. I like to go up to the house and get a drink and maybe a cookie... walk back out, and do it all over again. If you like to fish... you can't beat the front yard. Most fish are caught within a few yards of the beach in the first "gut". If you like catching some great fish, bring your rod (in a PVC tube) and reel and some "White on white, Red Fish Rig" or "Speck Rig" lures. You cannot go wrong with these "catch-all" lures. You can find them at Academy Sports for under $2.
A trip to the Osa cannot be beat... there are so many things to do from: tree jumping, waterfall repelling, jungle hiking, surfing, fishing... you name it, the Osa has it.
Casa Dulce is a quaint traditional "open-air" rancho. You feel like you're outside when you inside... washing the dishes, you're looking at the waterfall. Cooking, you're looking at the beach opening. In the living room, you're looking at the sunrise.
The solar-powered, waterfall fed dipping tub makes Casa Dulce hard to beat when you're coming up from the beach. A wonderful artisan-well provides fresh, cool, clay-filtered water to the dipping tub via a beautiful waterfall. Imagine hanging in your hammock, pool-side, with the wonderful sound of rushing water lulling you to sleep on your front porch.
You can't appreciate Casa Dulce without mentioning the wonderfully landscaped yard... it is truly a paradise. If you like beautiful plant-life and exciting wild-life right in your front yard, you're going to love your time in Matapalo.
I cannot say enough without saying "check it out"'... you won't be disappointed.
Pura Vida,
The Happy Traveler
unique, magical, special are just a few adjectives that describe this charming home. casa dulce is situated in one of the most amazing places on our planet. spending time in this home should be a requirement as it is guaranteed to reduce any stress and add years to your life. Take some time to visit with Ramon, the caretaker i assure you he will capture your heart. He is a wealth of knowledge about the area and can assist you in truly discovering and experiencing the area. Rick, the owner is a pleasure to deal with.
After extensive travels through-out Costa Rica over the years, we finally found a rental that we know we will come back to year in and year out and can think of as our home away from home- I write this review apprehensively and somewhat sensored, as I hope there will be availability for us every year!!!! The property is well located, very clean and full of everything you need- including a safe room to lock all your belongings- we slept for about 12 hours every night, lulled by the jungle sounds (and the ocean!) and enjoyed seeing all the wildlife come through the yard during the day to eat in the Manzana tree- Ramon the caretaker was extremely friendly and helpful and his wife Lizeth was too- she even does massages and clay treatments!!!! The owner was super helpful and friendly as well- making the whole international reservation and language barrier thing a breeze.....bring your fishing rods and lures!!!!!
I rented this house from the owners a couple years ago, for a month or more.
I had been to Matapalo before and had rented two other houses nearby, and also slept at some nearby little rooms for rent and such. What travelers should know is that if you love beach life and jungle, the Osa Peninsula is hard to beat.
It is pristine and you are surrounded by water, jungle and all types of wildlife. This house is in a premium location, being close yet off the main road that travels the peninsula. The front of the home has a view of tropical gardens that leads directly to the beach. The water is safe with some nice surf waves. The house has a great kitchen too, with views to the tropical landscape and small pool. I generally slept on the main floor, but the upstairs bedroom was sweet too. The bathroom has a nice big shower and is inside the house, many houses in this area have the bathrooms down a small path outside - so not so safe in the middle of the night. The owners of this home are friendly, reasonable people. I had a couple unique experiences on the peninsula, which have nothing to do with the property, and they were very accommodating. If you are a couple who enjoys surfing, wildlife viewing, hanging out at Martina's bar, fishing, bird watching, this is the perfect place.
We can't say enought about this rental! 4 adults stayed for 6 nights...but our teenage boys would have loved it there too! Next time we will be sure to bring them! Surfing (at ages from 40 to 50) was a blast!!! The beach, fhishing and walks to nearby waterfalls were about all we did. We cooked most or our food but Esperanza's bar (a.k.a. Martinas) provided fantastic food and drinks! You just can't beat seeing monkeys swing in the trees and dozens Macaws....all from the house/pool!! The only thing we did NOT like was leaving!!!

As Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for a second successive term
Bhopal: Shivraj Singh Chauhan, who brought BJP back to power in Madhya Pradesh staving off anti-incumbency and banking on politics of development, was on Friday sworn-in as Chief Minister for a second successive term. Watched by a galaxy of top party leaders including BJP chief Rajnath Singh, Mr. Chauhan, 49, was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Balram Jakhar, marking a high-point in the three-decade-old career of a politician who had taken over the reins of the party in the State at a critical time following the resignation of Uma Bharti. Mr. Chauhan was the only person to take oath and he would expand his Ministry later.
Besides Rajnath Singh, Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled States Narendra Modi (Gujarat), Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh), B. C. Khanduri and their counterparts from Bihar (Nitish Kumar), Punjab (Parkash Singh Badal) and Orissa (Naveen Patnaik) were also present on the occasion.
BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu and film actor and Rajya Sabha MP Hema Malini provided a tinge of glamour to the function held at the Jamboori Maidan where the BJP had organised a rally in September to take a vow to bring the party back power.
Eminent music director Ravindra Jain sang bhajans before the swearing and an all-religion prayer meeting was also held.
A five-time Lok Sabha member from Vidisha constituency, Mr. Chauhan, an OBC leader, took over as Chief Minister for the first time in 2005 with little experience in administration and went on to prove everyone wrong by not only running the State successfully but also helping the BJP storm back to power.
Starting his electoral politics by winning the Budhni Assembly seat in 1990, Mr. Chauhan, however, quit the seat on November 23, 1991 to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Vidisha. Always known as a politician associated with grassroots, Mr. Chauhan was elected as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh on November 29, 2005 following the resignation of Ms. Bharti in the wake of a Karnataka court indicting her.
The victory in the current elections was specially sweet for him coming as it did in the face of charges of corruption against him levelled by the main opposition party, the Congress.
Mr. Chauhan was successful in carving an image for himself as the common man's Chief Minister which he always used to say by describing as one among them, a farmer's son. -- PTI

APNewsBreak: Yellowstone bison head to Fort Peck
BILLINGS, Mont. Sixty-four bison from Yellowstone National Park were being shipped almost 500 miles to northeast Montana's Fort Peck Reservation on Monday, under a long-stalled relocation initiative meant to repopulate parts of the West with the iconic animals.
The transfer - anticipated for months - came in the middle of a snowstorm and with no prior public announcement, as state and tribal officials sought to avoid a courtroom battle with opponents worried about bison competing with cattle for grazing space.
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer described the move as a major step in efforts to restore Yellowstone's genetically-pure bison across a larger landscape.
"This is where we're going to establish the beachhead of genetically pure bison that will be available as their numbers grow to go to other reservations and other public lands all across the West," Schweitzer said.
Tribal and state officials signed an agreement Friday allowing the transfer to take place, said Robert Magnan with the Fort Peck Fish and Game Department.
Caught off guard were landowners and property rights groups that opposed the relocation. They filed a request for a temporary restraining order Monday afternoon to halt the move.
Helena attorney Cory Swanson said moving the animals without public notice following years of controversy amounted to a "sneak attack."
After state district Judge John McKeon in Glasgow did not rule on the request by the close of business Monday, Swanson said he would return Tuesday with a request for the animals to be ordered back to the Yellowstone area.
For the Assiniboine and Sioux tribes of Fort Peck, tribal leaders said the relocation offers a chance to revive their connection with an animal that historically provided food, clothing and shelter for their ancestors.
Most bison, also known as buffalo, are hybrids that have been interbred with cattle. Yellowstone's animals are said to represent one of the world's last remaining reservoirs of pure bison genetics.
"One of the main things we're trying to do is preserve the genetic integrity of these animals," Magnan said. "The cultural links from those genetics will be the closest to the bison of our ancestors."
Details of the shipment were kept quiet until it was under way. Magnan said the state and tribes were trying to avoid an injunction after Swanson's clients filed a lawsuit in state district court in January seeking to block the transfer.
Schweitzer said there was no attempt to keep the relocation under wraps, adding that the state did not finalize the agreement with the tribe until late Friday.
Prior attempts to relocate Yellowstone bison failed because of opposition from cattle producers and difficulty finding public or tribal land suitable for the bison.
State wildlife officials have said the relocation of the Yellowstone bison may help answer the question of whether the species can be successfully reintroduced to some public lands in Montana. Aggressive hunting in the 19th century wiped out the vast herds of millions of bison that once roamed freely across most of North America.
Interior Sec. Ken Salazar, who oversees most federal lands in the West, applauded Monday's transfer. Salazar has said further Yellowstone bison relocations are under consideration for public lands in Colorado, South Dakota and elsewhere.

From the reviews:
"In The Economic and Financial Market Consequences of Global Ageing, European Commission (EC) economists Kieran Mcmorrow and Werner Roeger examine the likely effects of … differential aging trends on GDP, consumption, savings, investment returns, capital flows, and net foreign assets for key economic regions. … provides a useful … introduction to a world just over the horizon, in which aging has changed everything." (Paul S. Hewitt, PEF - Journal of Pension Economics and Finance, Vol. 3 (2), 2004)
"The book certainly contains a wide range of projections, analyses, graphs and tables that everyone with an interest in the questions of ageing and pension systems will want to study further. On top of this, the book is highly pedagogical, giving some very useful clarifications of the many concepts used in the debate of pension systems." (Michael Tiet Nielson, CoverAGE, Issue 36, 2004)

A total of 2.25 million Filipinos were members of Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) in 2010, up from 1.76 million in 2000, data from the latest census by the National Statistics Office (NSO) showed.
The number of voting-age INC members at the time was estimated at 1.37 million, as 61 percent of the country's population was 18 and above.
Of some 92 million Filipinos in 2010, 56.5 million were of voting age.
MANILA, Philippines - The bloc-voting Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has chosen the 12 senatorial candidates it will support on May 13, according to a report by DZMM.com.ph.
BROTHER Eduardo Manalo, executive minister of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), visited Dumaguete Friday to officiate an important occasion in their congregation.
Brother Manalo ordained 60 new ministers mostly coming from Mindanao area in a special worship service attended by thousands of brethren.
MANILA - Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago warned that survey results will radically change once the influential Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) announces – albeit discreetly – its chosen candidates in the May polls.
THE PHILIPPINE Olympic Committee has shelved a plan to build a sports center in Clark Field, Pampanga, shifting its focus on the sprawling Philippine Arena which is nearing completion in Marilao, Bulacan, as the training hub of national athletes.
A world-class sports facility owned by the Iglesia ni Cristo and situated next to the north-bound lanes of NLEx, the Philippine Arena is being built on 7.5 hectares of land and will have a dome of 3.6 hectares. It is said to be the largest multipurpose arena in the world.
Grace Radin arrived early at P. Guevara Elementary School in Manila's Binondo area Saturday morning. She knew many would come and wanted to be among the first in line.
Seven months pregnant and like any excited mom, Radin just wanted to know the child's gender in advance. But coming from the slums of Parola, Tondo, she could not afford an ultrasound examination which could cost between P800 and P1,000.
A Christian Science Church building behind Queen's University, Belfast has been sold to the worldwide Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) which has its headquarters in the Philippines.
A handing-over ceremony took place yesterday in the landmark building.
The church, a listed building, was bought for an estimated £600,000.
MANILA, Philippines—The bloc-voting Iglesia Ni Cristo is expected to play a key role on who's in and who's out in this year's senatorial elections especially in the tightly fought bottom three slots of the 12-seat race.
ABOUT 1000 members of a church movement that was started in the Philippines arrived in Bundaberg to help with flood cleanup efforts and donate $60,000 to the relief effort.
Leading the team from the Iglesia Ni Christo (Church of Christ) was Brother Manuel Villapane.

6 ways to use up leftover barbecue sauce
Get versatile with leftover BBQ sauce from your weekend grilling. These recipes use barbecue sauce in creative ways when you want to do more than simply grill meat.
Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 10:31 AM
Organic barbecued short ribs were on the menu last night for Father's Day. I make really good ribs with a homemade BBQ sauce. My sauce recipe calls for a 6-ounce can of tomato paste, but I only had an 18-ounce can. I tripled the recipe so I didn't let the rest of the can go to waste. Now, I have plenty of sauce. I've frozen some for the next time I make ribs, but I thought I'd poke around various recipe sites and see if I could find some versatile ways to use some of the barbecue sauce. The first idea is one I use all the time, but the other recipes are ideas that caught me attention as options for using my leftover barbecue sauce.
BBQ pizza or flatbread: BBQ sauce is a great topping for pizza instead of traditional tomato sauce. My favorite combination is a layer of BBQ sauce, a little shredded chicken (that's been covered in the sauce), chopped green onions, and some mozzarella. So good.
Black Bean and & Hominy Succotash with Barbequed Portobello Mushrooms: Meaty mushrooms are grilled with BBQ sauce and put on top of a vegetable-heavy succotash in this vegetarian main dish.
Barbeque Chicken Burritos. BBQ sauce gets poured over chicken cubes and vegetables that have been sauteed, and everything gets wrapped in a tortilla with cheese.
Barbeque Calico Beans: Six cans of beans, any color and kind you want, are cooked in a slow cooker with a pound of ground beef (or turkey or chicken), BBQ sauce, and a few other ingredients.
BLT Bow Tie Pasta Salad: This recipe is good for using up a small amount of leftover barbecue sauce. Pasta, bacon, lettuce, tomato and chicken get tossed with a dressing that includes BBQ sauce. With the chicken, it's a main dish. Without the chicken, it's a side dish.
Jen's Nachos: A pound of ground beef (or turkey or chicken) is browned and drained. BBQ sauce, cheese, stewed tomatoes and corn are heated with the ground meat then poured over tortilla chips.
Do you have any creative ways to use up leftover barbecue sauce?

ecstatic about BFP #2 after another round of Clomid,
thrilled to welcome #1 after 17 months of ttc, 1 round of Clomid
Here's our new thread, my lovelies. Added you, lilacvioletiris.
Still feeling pretty mopey. Sunday night tons of work to do blues, plus ttc, feeling lonely, health issues, blah.
But I am so glad to hear you started a Bajingo juice grads thread for us to stalk, Birdie! May we all end up there soon.
Thinking of all of you and hoping all is well.
I really need to work on the mommy grads section, we've got a few more now, I'm sure.
ecstatic about BFP #2 after another round of Clomid,
thrilled to welcome #1 after 17 months of ttc, 1 round of Clomid
Thanks for the new thread, boots! And still, lots of hugs for you for still feeling down. May the April Showers of BJ bring you a BFP!
Taxi - Yay for the 17 fertilized eggies! I'll be thinking of you leading up to Tuesday, and especially on Tuesday. I hope you're feeling better.
Caly - Hugs for you for the three BFPs in one day - I didn't think you sounded bitter at all. We've all been there an know how it feels.
Carla - Welcome! I hope your stay here is short.
Hi to everyone else! I've already closed the old thread, so that's all I remember right now - sorry!
AFM - Things are just staying crazy busy here. My friend is getting married in two weeks, so I still have to do the bachelorette party, bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, and actual wedding. Still not sure if the dress will fit - I get it back from alternations tomorrow, but I had it fitted two weeks ago, shorty before I outgrew all (yes, all - except for one) of my pants. We got our new furniture on Friday, BUT the recliners in the end of the couch don't work... we're pretty angry. I spent three hours dealing with it on Friday... DH decided it's too stressful for me, so he's going to be on it this morning. Things with MIL are okay, except I'm worried that she's sleeping A LOT. Yesterday she took a two hour nap, and then went back to bed three hours later for the night. Saturday was even worse - she got up late, took two naps (shorter in duration), and was in bed by 9. I don't know what's going on with her. Okay, I really should go do work. Bah-hum-bug for Mondays.
Valerie - Happily married to DH since 09/08
Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
Thanks for the new thread Boots!
Wow Valh you've got so much going on. Nothing like trying to squeeze into a dress when you're growing everyday and no recliners to put your feet up! Hope your mil is doing ok. Hopefully its not anything serious. Maybe she coming down with a little cold or something and just needs the extra rest to fight it off.

How long does it take to be able to get the little signature at the bottom? I keep thinking if I reach the next threshold of 10 posts in the forum the signature will open up. No such luck yet now that I am at around 15 posts. Maybe 20 will do it. I haven't been sleeping very well the last two nights. I keep thinking about getting pregnant and get unsure of myself. I am a teacher on spring break right now. got up with DH this morning then tried to go back to sleep but just lay in bed thinking for about an hour before I decided to get up for the day. I think I need to get back to journalling. Get the thoughts/ideas/plans/worries out of my head then I can sleep.

Thanks Bootsie!
Mondays, ugh!
Carla, I am also a teacher, as is Boots! The signature thingie is something you can create/edit when you click on "my profile" and then scroll down to where it says signature...then, I think,
you click on "edit my signature" or something like that. You can add emoticons and all that, too. FYI because it took me awhile to figure out: you become a "member" as opposed to a "new member" when you have been a member for 50+ posts as well as active for over a month. I think. Something like that.
Taxi, thinking of you!
Hello all other ladies!
AFM, CD 7 or so.......
Early childhood teacher, animal rescuer, guardian to 2 dogs and 2 cats.Our little kumquat Rose is here! Born 9/18!
Just stopping by to tell Taxlady that I am rooting for her! Wow 17 eggs! I have a good feeling about this.
ValH I hope your dress will still fit! I actually just lost some weight before getting pregnant so my fat pants are still fitting me.
I took my first belly picture yesterday and hopefully will be taking them every Sunday. My appointment is on Mon to check for the heartbeat. I am so excited and nervous. Hopefully I will get to be confident enough to have Boots move me to the graduates.
Awesome vegan mom to wolverine 11/11 and sabertooth 11/13 and partner to a we also have
Okay, 50 posts. I have some more reading and posting to do! I have some material in the wash machine. I started a business sewing and crocheting things. I have sold a few things and am building up my customer base so that once I stay at home with a baby I have some way of making extra money for our family.

Flying by to say Caly you better apply for that position!!! Need help with a resume review or something? Applying is really tough as far as motivation, but it's good practice regardless, and has the added benefit of potentially getting you a new job!!!
Tank - That's exciting about your appointment for the heart beat!! I will warn you, though (just as I was warned), that it's sometimes hard to find a heart beat before 12 weeks. We found one at 11 weeks, which looks like where you'll be at that time, so I'm sure you'll find it with no problem. Just wanted to put that out there, though, just in case. You'll definitely have to be moved to graduates afterwards, though, so you can get Boots to put a little heart up there for you!

Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
KICKER OF THE CENTURY!! Finding out your "best" friend is pregnant because one of her friends responded to your "Happy Birthday" post with ... "THANKS! Can't wait to see you for all of F's baby activities this year".
So here are some excuses I have heard from people I've told about this.. well, she didn't want to make you feel bad because she knows you've been having a hard time. Well, I have now also found out that she had a miscarriage and she's into her second trimester. I cannot believe this.. obviously.. the adjective "best" only went one way.
Ahh taxlady, that's just not right. I mean what was she expecting to have the baby and then tell you? As for the excuse she didn't want to make you feel bad...like you'd feel better finding out that your friend has been hiding this news from you.
-Us , Him and her
No time for a longer post, but Taxi, I'm so sorry she didn't tell you, regardless of what her intentions were! That's just awful. Obviously I don't know you in "real life," but you seem to have such an open and generous spirit - I just can't fathom why she would be uncomfortable telling you.
I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!
Ack! Taxlady, I'm so sorry about that. You must feel really left out. I can kind of understand, because I have friends that I don't want to tell . . . I know it will hurt them that I'm living this dream while they're not able to (and mostly are single males, so they really REALLY aren't able to), but I also know that if I never tell them then they'll be upset by that. And I don't think any of them would say that I'm their best friend. I did tell one of them just the other day, and he sounded happy, and like he would like to come visit the baby (he lives many hours away), so that was encouraging. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that she probably really was trying to not hurt you, but has a very different idea than you do of how to do that. I'm sorry she acted that way, it would make me feel like she didn't trust me to be happy for her. Anyway, in other news, I'm crossing my fingers for you from now until your 2WW ends in a BFP! (Well, okay, I'll be honest, I'm only mentally crossing them . . . otherwise I couldn't type or do anything else for quite a few days . . . but I can keep them mentally crossed even in my sleep!)
Caly: I'm glad you're feeling a bit better again. It sounds like that position would be good, and all you can do is try. If they don't want your awesomeness, it's their loss. I also hate applying for jobs, but you're right: you never get one unless you apply. Good luck! Also, for future periods (you know, next year, by which time you'll have forgotten this information) I find that Alleve works wonders on cramps. There were times Ibuprofen couldn't touch my cramps, but Alleve always at least took them down to a manageable level - like to where I could sleep most of the night, instead of literally thrashing around and moaning in pain. It wasn't available in Canada for years, and I would always get my parents to get me some, or pick some up when I was down there . . . it's the good stuff for pain relief, at least for me. Anyway, I'm sure you won't need to know that for a while, but I wanted to mention it so you could file it away for later, and so anyone else could avail themselves of the cure for cramps. Also, it's okay to be upset about three pregnancy announcements in one day - that's a lot to handle! Don't feel bad about your reaction, I think it was totally normal and reasonable. I'm betting you didn't tell THEM that they were rubbing salt in the wound, did you? So no worries. Also, I am with you on the reaction of doctors (and many other people) about weight. It's just so silly that they feel like they can dismiss every other aspect of a person "until they lose some weight". It's not like the overweight people of the world need to beat themselves up about anything, and although weight is one factor in health, it's only one factor - it's not like it defines the person's whole health picture.
Catheleni: Yeah, Echo got to where she wanted something all the time. I think what she wanted was to be young again, but since we couldn't give her that, she just kept asking for it. Bark, bark. It was pretty frustrating at the time, but I sure do miss it now. I hope your guy starts feeling better again!
Val: You know, I just now realized, this very minute, that you're in the second trimester, aren't you? My goodness, time flies (like an arrow . . . fruit flies like a banana. I love that joke, love it!) Congrats on your new living room furniture, and what the heck is up with the recliners not working? It's such a ridiculous thing that we get brand-new things that don't work. We just installed a new door in our chicken coop - factory pre-hung door, supposed to be pretty straightforward, and it doesn't close easily. Sigh. Anyway, I hope that all gets fixed up. And I hope your MIL is doing okay, I know when I get tired like that it's always because I'm coming down with something (or, apparently, because I'm pregnant). I hope that's all it is, and that it's something minor. Like a cold.
Boots: I'm sorry about AF, and I'm sorry about your PMS. It is so hard to feel so upset and realize that it's PMS and therefore irrational and not be able to do a damned thing about it. Like getting AF isn't frustrating enough, we're also saddled with these uncontrollable, unpleasant hormonally caused emotions? It's very unfair, and you don't deserve to feel that way, and if you don't like people and don't want to be around them when you feel that way anyway, you don't need to feel bad about it. Also, I HATE when people see fit to make fun of my bad moods - like they think that will help? It makes me wish, actually, that I could cry on command, so I could make them feel like real jerks for kicking me when I'm down. Anyway, maybe that wasn't what people were doing, but if it was, I apologize for them, and heartily so. And yeah, I do dream about animals a fair bit. I had a dream about my pregnant goat and a pregnant facebook friend from high school once - it was only a little weird, compared to some of my dreams. It had a rowboat in it.
Rosie: Honestly, I don't hang out in the Digging in the Earth section as much as I ought to. I know it's probably great, but I mostly just like to mess around and do stuff here . . . and read a lot of gardening books. And look at "flower porn" on the internet . . . or in those glossy catalogs some companies send out. Today I was drooling over a selection of irises online, trying to narrow down the selection I'm hoping to order, and ended up adding more to the list instead, thus making my job harder. I have to budget my flower garden . . . because otherwise I would spend . . . let's see . . . about $750 on flowers this year. Oh, I forgot that I want peonies someday, make that $850. And, yeah, we aren't exactly flush with cash, so I have to winnow it down . . . but it's SO HARD with irises. I pretty much want them all. It helps that I have looked at lists of what other people can grow here (because many irises can't take our winters), and I'll almost only get something if someone here has already successfully grown it. Anyway, that's not really the functional part of the farm at all, but it's the part that sustains me, I guess. I like the animals an awful lot, but if I make a mistake with them it could have dire consequences - like when my MIL's dog showed my dog how to kill sheep a couple of years ago. That was a real blow to my confidence and to my emotional stability. We were going to eat them anyway, but not after letting the dogs basically torture them, it was really truly awful. I'm learning a lot from the animals, because there are a lot of challenges, but it also can be very stressful. The veggie garden is pretty satisfying, but also can be sort of frustrating because something always goes wrong there too - nothing too severe, it's not like we'll starve if the mice ruin all our beets (two years in a row), but some aspects of it are frustrating too. On the other hand, both the animals and the veggies give us quite a few triumphs, too. Last year I harvested about 45 squashes and pumpkins. That's a lot. We still haven't eaten them all. And the goats are both doing okay, and our new sheep are not afraid of the dogs, but also don't try to get out of the pen, so they're safe. We put a pack saddle on one of our donkeys the other day and took her for a walk, and it went well. But the flowers are the part that just give me joy - they're easy, if I mess up it has no real consequences, and they make me happy every time I look at them. Now I just have to figure out how to keep the donkeys from eating them this summer . . . And I also assumed I was infertile, or at least sub-fertile. I guess not really assumed, but feared it pretty strongly. I think it's incredibly common for women to feel that way . . . maybe it's kind of like men worrying about the size of their . . . um, feet. Pretty common, but mostly unfounded. I know that doesn't really help, but nonetheless . . . there it is.
Ramzubo: How are you doing? You're always here supporting all the rest of us, but you never have an AFM section. Just wondering how you're doing, how the recovery is coming along. Sending you gentle hugs.
Northstar: I'm sorry AF found you too. Keep your chin up, lady, you're just starting out. You'll get there soon. And I think everyone here understands your frustration. I tried to start out assuming it would take at least five months (since that's the average), and realizing that that might mean that it would take 10 months or more. Not that it really helped keep me from feeling disappointed, but it helped a little bit, I think.
Tickletoes: Sorry about the migraine, and sorry about the lecture too! It's nice that your DH wants to look after you, but surely he could recognize that you already weren't happy with the outcome of that combination and wouldn't do it again. Have some trust, DH! We can all assure you, TT wouldn't do anything that she thought would endanger your TTC!
Carla: I also love all those flowers! Good choices. I think you need not only a certain number of posts, but also to have been on the forum for a week, before you get a signature. I think you've got the number of posts you need, you're just waiting on the time to pass.
Birdie: I like the idea of trying to be more positive. Right now, I'm not even really trying for positive in my life, just balanced. It's okay if I say negative things, but then I have to think of positive things too (and say them). It's working out alright so far, I think I'm doing a bit better at it. As for irises in landscaping, the great thing about them is that if you find a variety that does well in your area, they're pretty low-maintenance. They don't even need a lot of watering in most climates. In fact, we have a bunch of very old irises in a bed at the end of our (long) driveway, and I weed that bed about twice a year and water it approximately never, and they bloom quite happily anyway. They're great! Also, they smell like lemon cleaner, which really cracks me up. Your talk about elimination communication reminded me, I talked to my MIL about it when she was here, and she seemed incredulous . . . or at least surprised. I think it helped when I told her that I know two people that have had it work for them (well, one it worked for and one it's in the process of working for).
AFM: Already said most of it. Been pretty busy, working on the chicken coop again, starting (and ordering) seeds, still sleeping quite a bit but not as much. MIL did finally come here, and she was clearly happy about our being pregnant (well, happier than I expected - she's not all that excitable). She did have some less than stellar things to say about giving birth, breastfeeding, and babies, because she had a hard time with all three, but I did ask. I don't want just the nice stories, but she always takes it a little far, saying, "I don't really know why anyone does it!" When I pointed out that she chose to do it twice, she said, "Well, yes, the imperative is there, but still". She's funny. Anyway, I talked to my SIL about a week ago, and she told me that she and her DH have decided to TTC, but she's not telling anyone else. Her mom (my MIL) because she's not exactly got the "support" thing figured out, and her MIL because she will be all crazy excited and might make her DH change his mind. Sigh. Anyway, that's about the size of things here. Time for snack, then bed. Love to you, ladies!
Taxlady, I am so sorry about your "best friend". I just got married July 2010. Over the last 5 years, I have had several very good friends and one "best" friend who were afraid to tell me they were pregnant because they thought it would make me sad because I wasn't married yet (or even dating anyone). Each time when they finally told me I was so happy for them because I think babies are such a blessing! I can't even imagine finding out the way you did about a pregnancy. How sad that some people can be that rude.
I will keep up with reading and eventually get to know everyone else here.

Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
oh my good goodness...here I am in bed rest.. I just wrote an epic post.. and then the T.V. went off and my computer went crazy. Was there some sort of sun flare or something?? WHAT A BUMMER!! I'm so bummed.. I hate that so much and it hadn't happened in sooo long. UGH UGH UGH.. I mean the T.V. didn't just go off it's resetting it self right now.. the computer and the T.V are not even related. B U M M E R (ok, DH just explained that the T.V. and computer are connected.. )
Ok.. I'll start again...
So my friend.. thank you for a the support about her. WOW.. it was a shock and her explanations trying to explain it away were really ones to keep in mind. Did you know that I was totally unsupportive during her miscarriage? Well, I didn't even know she had a miscarriage, she didn't tell me about that either. But apparently, she lost her first pregnancy at 5 weeks, and my talks of TTC were unsupportive. And here is another one for all of you, "EVERY WOMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL WHO SHE WANTS WHEN SHE WANTS TO ABOUT HER PREGNANCY"... I'll keep that in mind. I just thought my maid of honor thought I was more than just a facebook friend. Anyhow, this has been coming for a while... it's just easier for me to let it and her go. That's just the way I am..
OMG... I thought I just lost the post again.. thank goodness there is a undo button and worked this time.. phew...
Hykue, I'm glad your MIL visited and you're feeling well enough to be in the yard. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful. I also liked the fruit fly joke.. very funny.. I've never heard that before.
Caly, I went off on a tangent about weight while I was talking to you, but really I was agreeing with you and I just went off because I think it's so ridiculous that it's even a concern. I just think being healthy is key. Sorry.. I wrote it like I was telling you directly. :)
Ramzubo, I agree with Hykue, you're always so supportive around here, but you never tell us about you. I hope your healing and feeling better... let us know, if you want to.
Tank, I can't wait for your report after the u/s... I just think it's so exciting. I hope you get to hear the heartbeat.. I know it was exciting when Val heard her baby's.
Bootsie.. how are you feeling? Things ok? Did you have a nice 3 day weekend? When is your appointment? Sending our threadkeeper extra luck this month!!
Birdie.lee... keep us posted...
Bel718..I know you're out there so I'm saying hi!
Northstar - how are you doing?
Livingsky.. we need our April update!!
Rosie, your new bed is so pretty.. I love it in the middle of the lawn. The lawn is nice, but I can just imagine it being full of beautiful plants and it will grow and change over time, exciting.
Shellhawk.. are you still around?
AFM... today we had the transfer. Out of 17 on Friday there were 10 left today. We decided to put in two really good quality and one that was a little behind. A few were going to need to be discarded because there was something wrong with them, he could tell because they weren't an even number of cells. So hopefully tomorrow there will be 3 left to send to the cryobank for later.
My test date is on the 14th, 9 day window.. fingers crossed. Who's in the window with me??
Taxi - I'm sorry to hear about your "friend". That's really got to hurt to learn about her pregnancy, misscarriage, and viewpoint in this way. I am, however, really happy to hear about your eggs! The 14th is also my test date, so we can keep each other company in that :)

Mama to Alaric, my beautiful -- born 4 weeks early on 7/3/11 at 7lb4oz.
Congrats Taxlady on your eggs being ready to transfer and that the procedure went well. I will be praying that the eggs stick and that some beautiful babies are a result!
Any of you take prenatal vitamins? I started taking them on suggestion of my general practioner. There is a warning that the vitamins can change the color of feces. Anybody else get this weird side effect? I have been taking them for a week and just noticed a difference today.

Yea! Tickletoes! My cycle buddy - let's get BFP's!!
Thank you friends for your well wishes!! And congrats on the job Birdie!! I hope it's something you'll enjoy. Lilac - I am taking my prenatals.. and thanks for reminding me about them this morning. I haven't noticed a change in color, but occasionally, I have to skip a day because they sort of make me constipated. (where else on earth would you write something like that??)
I'm calling the doctor's office right now to see if it's ok if I go into work this afternoon.. you can call me crazy.
Yes, taxlady, I agree where on earth can you ask these questions! I am glad the MDC exists! yeah, I have noticed a little bit of constipation. I have been trying to drink more water and eat more veggies and fruits to try and take care of that.

for TAxlady and TickleToes testing on 4/14... I'm praying hard for some BFPs!
lilac - I haven't noticed any color change with the prenatals... but when I was on some kind of iron supplement a while back, I did notice a color change then... and constipation. Lots and lots of water seems to solve it. Oh, and I've read that kiwi has a laxative effect... I've been eating kiwis like crazy lately. Glad they taste so good!
Hope everyone else is doing well. Things here are still crazy... and MIL is seriously getting on my nerves lately. I'm sure it's partialy hormonal on my part. Could someone have some Boone's Farm on my behalf?
Valerie - Happily married to DH since 09/08
Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
Yeah Taxlady, sounds like it went well. Stick eggies, stick!
Since we were talking about how to bring up pregnancies to someone who's having a hard time TTC....my cousin had her baby this week. She'd heard about my loss and sent my mom a card asking what she thought she should say to me so as not to upset me, then she sent me a card just to make sure I was doing ok. I thought it was really thoughtful of her and I sent her an email making sure she knew I was fine and wanted to see pic of the new baby. It was little sad because if I hadn't had the ectopic then our kids would have been 9 months apart which is how apart we are, but I'm super happy for her. and glad that I could share in her happiness without a cloud between us.
Congrats on the job Birdie!
And I don't think I've Welcomed Lilac yet ....I've been taking prenatals for a long time. I'm sensitive to minerals so it took me a couple of months to build up to being able to take a whole one. I didn't notice any "bathroom" changes but the made me break out something horrible!
AFM (as requested ) I'm pretty much all healed up and feeling good. I decided it was time for a fresh start after the horrible winter, cross country move and crappy March. so I dyed (haha I originally spelled that died...which would not be a good thing) my hair..no more platinum, painted and rearranged the living room (it's all light and happy now) and booked a vacation. We were planning to go to Iceland but I would have been like 5 months along so that was kind of scary, but now we are good to go so we've booked our trip. My cycle still hasn't normalized. I'm counting my cycle starting from my surgery so that's about CD 23 and my temps are crazy. I think opposite of everyone else I'm looking forward to AF showing up. Hopefully it will be soon and then we have another month wait before TTC again. It seems like forever far away. I've decided to get an appointment with an acupuncturist, some of the ladies on MDC are fans so thought I'd give it a shot. For now I'm trying to keep busy getting the garden ready to keep myself from going crazy waiting to TTC.
-Us , Him and her
Hello, Ramzubo, you can call me Carla.
My husband the other night had rubbed my belly then said, "one at a time, one at a time" because he doesn't want to have multiple babies at a time. Well tonight he came home and said, "Remember when I was rubbing your belly the other day. I want our unborn baby to know my touch so I know I will rub your belly a lot because I want our unborn baby to know that I love his or her mama." It brought tears to my eyes. So cute!

aww Carla your husband sounds sweet. Last night I was freaking out because my boobs hurt and my DP said "well they are busy making baby food."
Also I am taking prenatals and they don't make me constipated but when I took iron pills they did. These just make the time I pee after I take it very bright! I freaked out the first time because I thought I was dehydrated and I had been drinking so much water.
I hope everything goes good for you taxlady. I'm rootin for those eggs!
