My brother and SIL have been ttc for 2 years, they have done 6ĀIUI's and just last week had IVF 5 day transfer she goes in for her pregnancy test on Aug 11.Ā I will be 4 weeks further along than her.Ā I live about 10 hours from them but will be visiting for my DS's birthday at the begining of Sept, I will be 12 weeks then.Ā My brother has told me that they will be waiting until she is out of her first trimester to confirm/deny the pregnancy.Ā I am so afraid to tell my family that I am pregnant and have my SIL's IVF not work, I think it will just crush her.Ā ĀSo my question is; has anyone been through this same type of situation, if so what did you do?Ā Also I have seen several ladies on the board that have gotten IVF, what would you want?Ā Would you rather someone wait until you confirm your pragnancy, would you be extremely upset/angry?Ā Should I wait until she confirms her pregnancy to tell my family about mine?Ā I don't know what to do I just don't want to hurt my brother or SIL, they will be such amazing parents and it makes me so upset that they are struggling like this.
SIL struggling to get pregnant, how do I tell her?
I think it really depends on the dynamic of your family.┬Ā I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year and a half, suffered an ectopic and a miscarriage when my sister became pregnant.┬Ā For me it was shocking when she told me, but of course I was happy for her, after all it is my family and such a blessing.┬Ā I was more shocked because I had no idea they were even trying!┬Ā The a few months later, and another miscarriage later for me my sister in law became pregnant, another shock as they had only been married a few months!┬Ā Needless to say no matter when you tell her it is going to make her sad, especially if her IVF does not work, but hopefully she will be able to put her feelings aside and be happy for you.┬Ā I am sure it is really difficult for you, but you can't be expected to hide your joy forever.┬Ā Maybe you could talk to your brother first and get his opinion on the situation. Either way, good luck.┬Ā That is a tough situation to be in, on both sides!
Expecting our first on 3/17/2011
Three angel babies
We had been trying for a year when my BIL announced he had accidentally gotten his GF pregnant. I'm not going to lie. It was really, really hard to go through. I cried a lot. I avoided her a lot. I also sucked it up and made it to her wedding shower, crazy rushed wedding, baby shower, and visit in the hospital. I got pregnant 3 days after her baby was born. There's never really a good time to have a baby or announce a baby but the truth is, her baby was meant to get here before mine. It may not be easy, but deep down your SIL will understand that...

I know my self I was sad when a friend announced there pregnancy and me and hubby had just tried 1 month.
In the end you brother and SIL will be over joyed for you but give them time. Especially with the hormones of IVF.
Wife to Dale since March 24, 2007
Our wonderful DD Katherine June July 1, 2009
Lillie Marie born on January 30, 2012 at 34 weeks and 4 days.
When my husband had just graduated College, I was still on the BP, and at Christmas time, my brother in law and sister in law announced that they were pregnant. This was Dec. 2009. I was ok with it, excited for them, but emotionally I had a couple of break downs because I didn't want to be on the pill as long as i had. So, after Christmas, I told my hubby that I'm stopping the pill. I told him many times it didn't register for him until I told him again 3 weeks later. Then he gave in and became understanding. Just take it easy, maybe tell the parents first then tell them.
I joke that in our family you either succeed without trying or try without succeeding.┬Ā
DH and I have TTC for at least 4 years.┬Ā Thankfully, we had a successful IVF the first try!┬Ā Before that, my brother got his girlfriend (of only a few months) pregnant, my sister and BIL got pregnant without trying, and then my other sister (who is 21 and had only been married 9 months) got pregnant.┬Ā I was SOOOOOOOOOOO happy for each one of them.┬Ā People have asked if it has been hard for me, but it hasn't.┬Ā I truly believe we should rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.┬Ā They have been heartbroken with us throughout our process, and we have been joyful with them throughout theirs.┬Ā Now that we are expecting, my brother (who is expecting Baby #2 with his now-wife) said he thinks they are more excited for our pregnancy than for theirs!┬Ā If you have a healthy relationship, I think your brother and SIL will be happy for you.
Mommy to the super-twins: my Handsome Fella and my Gorgeous Girl
I struggled with IF for many years with several MC and lots of fertiltity treatments.
Well it sounds like you are off to a good start. ┬ĀYou are sensitive and caring and concerned for their feelings, which I can tell you is a wonderful change to what most IF couples get from their friends. ┬ĀI would call them on the phone well before you are expected to arrive, so she can have time to put on her happy face and be strong if she doesn't get the news she wants. ┬ĀIF is like a giant pink elephant in the room, you can't ignore it or pretend it isn't there. ┬ĀWhen you call her ask how she is doing let her talk about the IF (FIRST) if she wants to, sympathize with the situation, don't be overy positive, "stay postive it will happen for you" these phrases patronize and irritate women in this situation, it makes them feel as though their problems aren't validated.
Then say something along the lines of this: ┬ĀI love you and I know this is a huge struggle for you, but I thought you should know we are expecting our (1,2,3) baby. ┬ĀBE sensitive, don't shout it at her or say surprise "we're pregnant"
Then say something like, I totally understand if you need some time, cant see us, I just want you to know that I love you and with all my heart I wish it were you. ┬ĀExplain how far along you are and that you may be showing when you see them. ┬Ā ┬Ā
No matter how nice she is or how much she loves you, and if she isn't preg this news will be devastating and how you deliver it will affect the relationship. ┬ĀDon't be offended if she really does need time. ┬ĀInfertility is a heartwrencing, brutal, and isolating. ┬ĀWhen you are going through it you have to protect yourself and that means walking away when you are past your capacity to handle the emotions.
I assume if you are going to see your family you will be telling them and there will be alot of celebrating going on about your pregnancy. ┬ĀThis will be brutal for her and If I were in the same sit as her I wouldn't go. ┬Ā
It is important that you encourage your brother not to be offended by her reaction. Men sometimes don't feel on the same level we do and don't forget all those hormones she has been taking. ┬Ā ┬Ā
And above all "DO NOT complain to her about your pregnancy symptoms!" ┬Āshe would give anything to be sick as a dog vomiting all the time as long as she was preg. ┬Ā
Hopefully the IVF worked and all this will be moot and she will be excited and you both will have babies together.
It sounds like you are a wonderful SIL and you will be jsut fine follow your instincts, read the situation, and be sensitive and loving.
PS Wait til after she has taken her test, The time after transfer is very sensitive to implantation. ┬ĀJust give her enough time before you arrive to figure out what she is going to do.
Congrats to you, happy and healthy 9 mo! ┬Ā ┬Ā
My soon to be SIL and I got pregnant in the same month (FEB); she went on to have a healthy pregnancy but I unfortunately didn't; we were out to dinner with family about three days after I was in the hospital to treat the ectopic pregnancy and of course, I was still very emotional and fragile. At dinner, all she could do was talk about HER pregnancy, baby, etc. My fiance keep motioning to her to change the subject but she wouldn't. It was almost like rubbing it in my face. I think the real jealously came from the fact that we were engaged and her b/f didn't want to get married or engaged just b/c she was p/g (they had only been dating three months anyways).
Anyways, I'll never forgive her for the way she treated me during that time, and now we barely speak. I wish she was more sensitive and thought more about others and less about herself.
Thank you ladies, I really appreciate your opinions and advice.┬Ā I think that I will call right before I go home to talk to them so they are not shocked when I tell everyone.┬Ā They did not know my DH and I were trying so I think it will be a big surprise.┬Ā I think you are right that I should give them a little more time and space and if they feel like they need some distance I understand.┬Ā I have been praying for them throughout this process (and I am not the praying type ) and I try to be sensitive but having not been through what they are going through I sometimes find myself at a loss.┬Ā Thanks again and anymore advice is appreciated
I have a close girlfriend who has been struggling with getting/staying pregnant.┬Ā I was very concerned about how she would take the news that we got pregnant on our first cycle.┬Ā I decide to write her a short e-mail telling her that we are excited, but that I wanted her to have some time to think about it before I called with the news.
Do you know what she said?┬Ā She said she wished I would have called.┬Ā That she was so happy and excited for us, and that she is hoping her next IVF works so that we can be preggo together.
But, I think if I had to do it again, I would do it the same way.┬Ā Even though it's not what she wanted, I was concerned for her and wanted her to have time to process it before we talked.┬Ā
Mommy to a Beautiful Baby Girl - 8/14/2009
Expecting a Peanut - 3/20/2012
This thread has been extremely helpful for me.┬Ā My SIL and BIL have been trying for 3 years and can't afford IVF so I'm a little nervous to tell them.┬Ā I think my DH is even more scared.┬Ā She really isn't the type of person I see being mad or jealous but I know it's a touchy subject and I would hate to upset her in any way.┬Ā When the time is right we will tell them.┬Ā I know they will be an AMAZING aunt and uncle to our LO.

Respond to Review of The Veggie Grill - Long Beach
by chobesoy
Review: Update: download the veggie grill app to your phone! I swear, if everyone used it as often as I do, they'd probably stop it :) Free entrees, appetizers with a certain number of points, plus the email coupons, this place is a reliable default option. Favs include the kale cesar salad, the grilled or blackened chicken dishes, the all american stack or portabello burgers are popular with meat-eaters, and I love the cauliflower sides. The grilled corn is the best corn on the cob you'll ever eat. veggie grill is really one of my favorite places. The only downside was that it was always away from where I needed to be so when this location opened up in LB (where I spend most weekends), I was counting down the days and was there at the door at it's preview opening, begging for them to open up already! After the place opened up for real, I brought my teammates there, a pack of hungry omni/carnivores and was delighted to find that they all enjoyed their lunches (almost) as much as I did :) Places like Veggie Grill make me happy that there are tasty places to further the acceptance of herbivory...I finally have a place where friends will feel like they can have a clean and healthy meal yet feel satisfied, and best of all, I can eat with them, stuffing my veggie tummy with food I want! And everything on the menu is something I want. I have now gone back to this location, sometimes with coveted coupons and introduced veggie food to no-longer-reluctant customers. For those hesitant to try veggie meats, the portobello burger has been a hit, for those who want a refreshing introduction to a few mock meats, I like the chopped salad that's a mix of a few. In between, there are the standard "fast food" diner type favorites like hot wings and fries, but the side of kale salad (surprisingly ok for skeptics, it's got a tasty dressing) reminds everyone that your arteries will thank you for switching things up to the veggie side. Thumbs up, I can't believe it took me this long to write a review. Updated from previous review on Tuesday December 11, 2012

Death seems to follow Clay Birdwell, a small-town Montanan who tries to end an affair with a woman after her husband — his best friend — commits suicide. But the death toll climbs even higher when Clay forges a friendship with a serial killer.
I like the premise but for a black comedy/thriller, it's neither funny nor thrilling. And it's too long. The only things that kept me interested were marveling at how baby-faced Phoenix, Vaughn and Garofalo were and how terrible their performances were given how successful they all later became. It seems much more dated than 1998. 2.5 stars
In a perfect world this is what an average film should be.

News and notes from around the federal IT community.
Agency heads, acquisition officers and even CIOs don't need to be hard-core techies. FCW's four-part look at the expertise that's really required to make federal IT run.
"We have architectures and hardware and software in places that is indefensible, no matter how much money and talent we put on it," says White House cyber advisor Michael Daniel.
A retired general tells federal CIOs they need to stop wasteful spending before it gets started, and says they could have a powerful ally in their agency CFO.
GAO says 24 federal agencies saved $3.6 billion between fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2014, and need to keep better track of how they reinvest those savings.
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International said its study of FAA exemptions shows "a commercial market waiting to be unleashed."
House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz is focusing his scrutiny on a giant modernization project which, according to OPM's inspector general, lacks funding and good management.
The follow-on to the cyber sprint that came after the OPM hack might mandate that, by the end of fiscal 2016, all agencies use Internet service providers signed onto Einstein 3A.

 What gap?

 We hear a lot of chatter about a growing IT skills gap, both here in the US and globally. A recent New York Times article provided some statistics that were both frightening and illuminating. Approximately 20 percent of American adults don't use the Internet at home, work, or school, and don't own a web-enabled mobile device. While the government has funded a $7 billion effort to expand Internet access across the country, there has been little to no increase in adoption. Employment opportunities are increasingly web-based, but digital literacy rates have remained stagnant.

 This gap is not only apparent in the general population, but also in the IT workforce. At the Center for Applied Insights, skills gaps often emerge in our studies as top barriers to success in specific fields. Our 2012 Tech Trends study, which surveyed more than 1200 IT professionals, found that only 1 in 10 organizations has all the skills it needs to be successful. This indicates a major gap – and when we talked to students and educators to get headlights into the future - roughly 75 percent of them report a moderate to major gap in their ability to meet the skill needs of the IT workforce. If the workforce of tomorrow and their teachers are telling us the gap is this big – clearly there's a problem.

 There is also a major skills gap in the security realm. In "Cybersecurity education for the next generation", we addressed the need for cybersecurity-related academic programs around the world. Less than 60 percent of the students and educators surveyed believe their academic programs address the creation and development of IT security practices for emerging technologies such as Mobile, Cloud, and Social Business.

 How can we close it?

 Forbes, like the New York Times, wrote an article about the skills gap, emphasizing the disconnect between traditional education institutions and the current, fast-changing job market. Bottom line: institutions aren't evolving as quickly as they should; only 42 percent of employers believe recent graduates are ready for work. Forbes' solution? Job seekers must take it upon themselves to develop their own skills, by utilizing online resources. At the same time, companies must invest in comprehensive training programs for their diverse group of new employees, and make job requirements clearer. Noticeably absent was a suggestion for how traditional education institutions can improve. IBM has a tactic to address this. Ad Age featured a story on how IBM, in partnership with its clients, works with academic institutions to design programs that prepare students for real world IT work experience. Examples of these programs include integration with GM at Michigan State, and GlaxoSmithKline at Yale.

 At the IBM Center for Applied Insights, we've looked at the IT skills gap from both the supply and demand sides. In terms of demand, our Tech Trends paper provides suggestions for IT leaders and practitioners on how to close this gap. For IT leaders, we suggest encouraging skill development across a range of disciplines, designing diverse teams and using social tools to assemble expertise, and extending the skills mission beyond IT, making business leaders smarter consumers of analytics. For practitioners, we suggest concentrating on integrating expertise and deepening specialized skills while broadening knowledge across new areas. Practitioners must combine areas of expertise to deliver more value, strengthen business acumen, and use social tools to solicit and supply expertise.

 On the supply side, we discovered that cybersecurity education programs are entering a period of transformation. In order to work in concert with today's demands, we suggest five key initiatives. (1) Increase awareness of security across the academic community, and produce more graduates from cybersecurity programs. (2) Treat security education as a global issue. (3) Approach security comprehensively, linking technical to non-technical fields. (4) Seek innovative ways to fund labs and pursue real-world projects. (5) Advance a "science of security".

 As technology continues to rapidly transform, skills gaps will continue to emerge. While we won't try to tackle the 20 percent of non-Internet users in the US population, we in the Tech world have the tools to bridge the gaps in the IT workforce. We must be innovative, adaptable, and forward-thinking. What are the next skills gaps that we'll explore? Stay tuned for more studies from the Center for Applied Insights that address this skills gap, specifically looking at IT leadership in Africa.

Formed in 1997, alt-metal trio Trust Company have been on hiatus since 2005; now they're back with their third studio full-length. Starting off with a bang, the record's first tracks quickly deliver the best the album has to offer and showcase this band's electric potential. First single "Heart in Your Hands" is simply great, hearkening back to the sound of Trust Company's impressive debut album, The Lonely Position of Neutral, while also representing a step forward for the band. With a more mature and focused sound than some of the group's prior work, it suggests an effective ethereal mix of Deftones-esque alt-metal interlaced with echoes of pop-industrialists Filter. Unfortunately, the second half of the album blurs together, the songs becoming forgettable. Despite this, the band's potential is clearly on display at many points in this album. Trust Company is back, but to prove they're here to stay, they need to channel the musicianship and energy they initially deliver and breathe genuine life into some of their more generic songs.

I have acid reflux disease and for the last several weeks I have had severe dry mouth. Also my left nostril feels like it is on fire. Could acid reflux be causing this?READ MORE
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
Hi there, Karen --
I know this is an old question, but I did want someone from our staff to answer you! I hope you've long since discovered the cause of this problem and gotten some treatment for it. Yes, acid reflux can cause dry mouth, and though the problems with your nose are less common, apparently acid coming up in the back of throat can also irritate the nasal passages, as well, and that might explain the "burning" sensation you're talking about. I'm only a layperson though, and only a doctor can accurately diagnose the issue after an exam.
If you did find out what was causing the symptoms and got treatment for it, perhaps you'd consider coming back and telling us how things turned out for you? Your experience might be invaluable to someone else suffering from the symptoms.
Here are some links that might be helpful for you in any case. Best of luck to you!

MN Music on-a-Stick at the Minnesota State Fair, 8/30/13

MN Music-on-a-Stick
With Trampled by Turtles, the Suburbs, Mason Jennings, P.O.S, and the Chalice
Minnesota State Fair Grandstand, St. Paul
Friday, August 30, 2013
At their second annual State Fair Grandstand showcase, MN Music on-a-Stick, 89.3 the Current brought a six-hour slate of acts that cover a full range of distinctly Minnesotan sounds. The independent hip-hop scene was well represented by power trio the Chalice and the always-intense P.O.S. Mason Jennings shrank the sprawling venue with personal and emotive folk, a genre pushed forward by a certain other floppy-haired Minnesotan. For those who came to rock, the Suburbs brought us back to 1983 -- even those of us who weren't around for their first go-round. And then there was Trampled by Turtles.
Though each of the five acts seemed to have fans who came out mostly to see them, it was clear from the beginning that this was really the Turtles' show. The cheers in response to hosts mentioning their name rivaled the ovations for the other bands, and the excitement built as the night went on. Their performance, the show's final one, more than justified the anticipation. But before that, fans were treated to a filling sampler of local music to match the cheese curds and fried everything from earlier in the day.

The Chalice typically play much smaller stages than the fair grandstand, but they adjusted well to the less intimate setting. Lizzo and crew immediately provided the receptive crowd -- many of those who were there that early in the night were fans of theirs and stayed near the front of the stage -- with the powerful yet inviting presence they're known for. A particularly strong performance of "Real Recognize Real" had even middle-aged women who wouldn't have seemed out of place winning a horticultural prize throwing their middle fingers up.

P.O.S was introduced by Barb Abney as a Current employee, as his show, P.O.S Is Ruining the Current, runs on Saturday night. The set opened in appropriate Minnesota get-together fashion: The Doomtree rapper waved to the crowd, and most of them waved back. Though his energetically anti-capitalist opener "Fuck Your Stuff" may not have seemed in keeping with the unapologetic consumption of the State Fair, P.O.S proved to be as down with the gluttony as anyone. "I can't wait to go to French Meadow and get a cronut," he said, before getting into a debate with his DJ about the merits of all-you-can-drink milk during the week's killer heat wave -- P.O.S was pro-milk.
P.O.S was hard at work throughout his set, throwing all of his energy into the crowd and riffing on the fair during the breaks. He was so hardcore that it threw off the groove of a few songs, like "Optimist," but when it worked, it was powerful. "Get Down" was the livest song of the show, managing to get essentially the entire crowd jumping even during the last gasps of the week's heat wave. He continued to make the most of the unique "on-a-stick" setting. During "Weird Friends," he reached into the crowd for a Sweet Martha's cookie and ate it onstage with the appropriate look of satisfaction -- the State Fair equivalent of lighting up a blunt onstage.
Mason Jennings

Things cooled down considerably as Mason Jennings took the stage during the golden hour. Not a native son, Jennings chose Minnesota, and for more than a decade we have accepted him as our own. His stage presence projected a quiet power and unsentimental intimacy. His rendition of "Jackson Square," Dylaned-up with a headgear harmonica, showed his command of the fundamentals of Americana folk. Shortly after, Jennings went behind the keys for "Clutch," opening the meditation on lost love with the question "what good is remembering?" Throughout the set, there was very little jamming, and the instrumentation was solid and straight up, though his at times raw delivery reflected the emotion behind the lyrics beyond what's on the record.
As the sun set, Jennings treated the crowd to a solo acoustic version of "Your New Man," with more than a few singing along. After a particularly sincere rendition of "Be Here Now," he spoke to the crowd for one of the few times of the night, simply saying, "I'm so glad to be home" before closing out with "Sorry Signs on Cash Machines."
The Suburbs

When Mark Wheat asked who had seen the Suburbs play with the B-52's three decades ago, about a fifth of the crowd put their hands up. Their first song, "Reset the Party" from the new album, Si Sauvage, their first release in 27 years, was their most conspicuous nod to nostalgia of the night, with the line "turn back the clock and lets get started." Each of the band's frontmen had their moment. Chan Poling nailed the keyboard solo of "Music for Boys" and at various points toasted the night onstage with a glass of red wine, and Blain "Beej" Chaney performed the new "What's It Like Out There?" like a man possessed, leading to more than a few shouts of "BEEJ!" from the crowd. Though performances of material from their new album were generally stronger, the closing "Love Is the Law" was as special as you could expect it to be.
Trampled by Turtles

At this point the crowd, which had been building gradually all night, had finally reached its peak. Mark Wheat played the role of hype man with gusto -- not that Trampled by Turtles needed it -- leading a chant of "TBT!" When they took the stage, it was immediately clear what we were in for. The opener "Victory" and the follow-up "Help You" were played with absurdly furious energy and a power that a lesser band would never have been able to control, leading to several mid-song ovations for masterful stop-on-a-dime breaks. "Widower's Heart," backed with a welcome addition of steel guitar, showed that they could slow it down too. One woman going to get more beer observed that "everyone's making out; it's awesome."
One thing that can keep a good set from becoming great is a lack of attention to anticipation tension, but the Turtles proved to be masters. After a cover of Loudon Wainwright's "The Swimming Song," they launched into "Burn for Free" following a long pause and a flash of red light with a taut intensity that almost made it seem like a Metallica cover. They expanded the range of the night with a nearly psychedelic rendition of "Gasoline," stretched out with trippy electric fiddle riffs.
There were very few in the audience who didn't see the ending sequence of the show coming from the beginning, but the Turtles still managed to surprise us. After "Midnight on the Interstate," they ended their set with "Alone," bringing out Claire de Lune of the Chalice to sing backup vocals and a full pipe band to power the final crescendo, along with steel guitar and chello. All of these elements blended perfectly, lending the song a new level of power and depth. Returning after a standing ovation, Dave Simonett half-smirked knowingly and said "We don't have a lot of time, so we'll have to play it fast." Of course they played "Wait So Long," of course everyone went nuts, and of course it ended 15 seconds before the fireworks started.
Overheard in the Crowd: "WOO! I need more mandolin!"
The Crowd: It looked like a general sample of fair-goers, if slightly younger. There were more than a few families, especially up in the grandstand itself. The faux pas of wearing a band's merch to their own show was blatantly disregarded.
Random Notebook Dump: Whoever was running the PA system during breaks was really into Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Without a green card, most immigrants will find it extremely difficult to find a job that pays a competitive rate.
When an immigrant moves to the United States it is very important that they get a green card so they can get a job.

Syria May Have Crossed Obama's 'Red Line' With Use of Chemical Weapons
New evidence says they did, "on a small scale."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel cited new intelligence today, reached with "varying degrees of confidence," that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons "on a small scale" against opposition fighters. According to a letter sent from the White House to Congress, "The United States and the international community have a number of potential responses available, and no option is off the table." President Obama has previously stated that the use of chemical weapons by Assad was a "red line" in the civil war that has killed 70,000 people in the last two years, and could lead to new U.S. involvement, which some lawmakers are already pushing for.
"Precisely because the President takes this issue so seriously, we have an obligation to fully investigate any and all evidence of chemical weapons use within Syria," said the letter to Senators Carl Levin and John McCain of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "That is why we are currently pressing for a comprehensive United Nations investigation that can credibly evaluate the evidence and established what took place." The info, Hagel said, was "reached within the last 24 hours," following a claim earlier this week by Israel that it was "nearly 100 percent certain" chemical weapons had been used against rebel fighters.
"The president of the United States said that if [Mr. Assad] used chemical weapons, it would be a game changer — that it would cross a red line — and it's pretty obvious that red line has been crossed," John McCain said, according to The Wall Street Journal. "Now I hope the administration will consider what we have been recommending now for over two years of this bloodletting and massacre and that is to provide a safe area for opposition to operate; to establish a no-fly zone and provide weapons to the people in the resistance who we trust."
Others are urging caution: "Don't take from this that this is an automatic trigger," an anonymous official told the Washington Post. "We have seen very bad movies before when intelligence is perceived to have driven policy decisions that, in the cold light of day, have been proven wrong." By bad movies, he means Iraq.
"This is serious business," said Hagel, who said his job "is to give the president options." He added, "We need to get all the facts."

what time do you put your babe to bed for night?
Am I the only one that doesn't have a bed time for LO? He sleeps when he sleeps. I don't feel the need to have an actual schedule for such a young baby. I see so many posts on here about schedules and routines for our LOs and I feel totally out of place since we have absolutely no schedule or specific routine for our guy.
having a bedtime doesn't necessarily mean a baby is scheduled. I don't do schedules either, but most babies naturally have their own routine. but the older a baby a gets, the more consistent they usually become in their own natural routine. Kaiya's bedtime is 7:30, but that doesn't mean she goes to bed at that time, on the dot, no matter what all the time. Sometimes, she's exhausted by 7:15is, others she's a little closer to 8, but on all occassions, on average, her nightly bedtime is 7:30. She was 9 about 3 weeks ago.
She takes 3 naps a day, consistently, but is not like I watch the clock and say "ok, its 10am--naptime!" no matter what. I follow her cues, but her natural cues right now are 3 naps (morning, afternoon, early evening) and then the bedtime.
Ann, mommy to Liam 07/16/08, Kaiya 9/23/10, Shayla 2/10/12
around 11.
"It's just smilin' at you, and wants to kiss you and hug you, feel you and touch you, and you never felt so loved in your life."
anywhere from 645-830 just depending on when the last nap was or when she is tired. Usually around 730 though.
We start the bedtime routine around 730pm. Most nights she is asleep by 8 or 830.
Usually between 7-8; depending on nap schedule during the day!

Holy early bedtimes, Batman. How in this world do you all get them to go down around 8pm? I can only get her to catnap in the evenings. I swaddle, keep lights low, etc.
I'm lucky if it's before 11 - then feeding at 4 - up at 7 for the day.

No snow job: Browns finally catch Steelers
The Browns have caught the Steelers, and they have momentum to boot, John Clayton writes.
Originally Published: December 16, 2007By John Clayton | ESPN.com
CLEVELAND -- What sounded crazy in September is reality in December. The Cleveland Browns have caught the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On a surreal, snowy Sunday, Cleveland defeated the Buffalo Bills 8-0 and tied Pittsburgh for first in the AFC North at 9-5 for the season. Sure, the Steelers hold a tiebreaker edge with two wins over the Browns, but Pittsburgh has lost two straight and faces a quick turnaround game Thursday at the St. Louis Rams.
No wonder the Browns, who have ...

Two Principled Theories
of Constitutionalism
ABDICATIONISM is generally defended by judges who practice it as a recognition that the courts are but one of three coequal branches of government. Professor Alexander Bickel, describing and lauding the judiciary's "passive virtues," 1 has identified its two conceptual components: constitutionally mandated limits and self-imposed prudential limits. 2
The constitutionally mandated limit on adjudication is either of very little or very great importance, depending on how it is construed. On the one hand, the limit may mean no more than this: If in the Court's opinion either the presidency or Congress has acted within its constitutionally allotted ambit of political discretion, the Court will not replace the political judgment of a coordinate branch with its own preferences. No judge, and no scholar of note, has ever expressed disagreement with such a self-evident proposition. It surely requires no doctrine of its own. On the other hand, the limit may mean much more: If in the opinion of one of the political branches that branch is authorized by the Constitution to take an action, the Court will not substitute its view of whether such action is constitutionally authorized for that of the political branch. In other words, the courts should not substitute their interpretation of the Constitution's allocation of powers to a political branch for the latter's understanding of that allocation. Each branch should be free to set the limits of its powers by expressing its essentially unreviewable understanding of the Constitution's parameters and acting thereon without fear of judicial contradiction.
This far more expansive formulation of the political-question doctrine and its adoption by some judges has always been exceedingly controversial. The consequence of the lesser version is to subject the actions of the president and Congress to judicial review (albeit not to foreign-policy review). The effect of the greater version is to place acts of the political branches beyond the reach of the courts' umpiring

First, I found out about a Michigan Class Action Suit.....
An attorney firm filed a lawsuit, putting together a Class Action suit on behalf of Michigan residents.
Also, 2 other States are now involved.....
Court DocumentsBelow are some documents that we have filed with the court regarding the class action lawsuits against IKO shingles.

Michigan residents file class action lawsuit against IKO Shingles
Posted in April 30, 2009 ¬ 3:35 pmh.adminNo Comments »
Halunen & Associates, along with partner law firms, has initiated a class action lawsuit against IKO shingles on behalf of Michigan residents. The Complaint alleges that IKO designed, manufactured, and sold defective shingles to homeowners in Michigan. The shingles at issue in the case are curling, cracking, falling off buildings, rapidly deteriorating, and otherwise not performing as promised. The lawsuit further alleges that IKO did not take the appropriate steps to remedy the situation. The lawsuit seeks damages for the cost of replacing the defective shingles, labor, disposal and other related expenses. This lawsuit is filed in the State of Illinois, the one of the places that IKO manufactures shingles.
You can read a copy of the Complaint.
Halunen & Associates is in the process of filing similar lawsuits nation-wide in order to asssit homeowners in recoving costs associated with repairing their roofs as a result of IKO's allegedly defective shingle products. Contact us to tell our office if you have any problems with your IKO shingles.
Court Documents, NewsCourt Documents, iko
thanks for that ed.... looks like my trust in my suppliers word just went out the window!
We put on a combination of certainteed, gaf/elk, oc and IKO... looks like we will be cutting back to 3 out of 4 of those now!
this does not supprise me. Iko's are not well liked in Massachusetts either.
Ed, I take it your not installing them. I recall a while back you mentioned you attended one of their seminars with Grumpy and were considering trying them.
I used them for 25% of one roof that a new home owner was buying and would finish off the rest of the roof with the same if and when they call to have the roof finished.
They could only afford to do the section that I failed during an FHA Inspection at that time though.
Might just have to replace the whole thing if it goes longer than a few years
wasnt there some sought of law suit against PABCO? Dont know about then, but now i find them such an awsm shingle!!
If you look hard enough I think you will find almost every manufacturer has had a class action lawsuit.
Does anyone know about how long ago these shingles that are budding this lawsuit were installed?I have been considering trying IKO recently based on price, but I guess most of the time you get what you pay for.
rooferj, your right but the damn general contractors luv em & keep buyin em!
most of the lumber yards of already got rid of them.too many problems and they dont handle them very well.
Anybody that buys these are just in it for the money.IKO are junk . The guys that buy these shingles are also useing .99 cent tar in a tube. They do not care about what they are doing or the custormers they are doing the work for. Watch out america dont buy from canada.
Sanroof is correct, every major manufacturer has probably had a class action at one time or another, and not just in the roofing industry. From what I found, the law firm trying to initiate the class action against IKO has also done the same to other majour manufacturers. Class actions are like a retirement fund for these lawyers when/if they get settled.
We've used a fair amount of IKO. I see nothing obviously wrong or defective with their product. I've asked our roofing crew about them multiple times and they have no issues with them. They have over 70+ years of roofing experience so I trust their judgement.
We're using Certainteed and OC a lot right now, they both seem to be high quality product. But Certainteed has had some issues in the past as has GAF.
Fairly wide brush you're painting with there thorroofer with several of your statements. Rather foolish really.
I have many Certainteed Custom Sealdon 30 roofs failing right now. At the time of installation I thought they were a good quality shingle. I've learned you can't judge how a product will perform based on how it feels out of the package.
Thanks for making my point. Aside from checking for obvious flaws, it would be near impossible to determine how a shingle will perform over a life of service. If you ask 100 roofers from across the country to rate IKO, CertainTeed, GAF/Elk and OC for example, I'd bet you get a reasonably even statistical distribution. Of course, you could utilize hard scientific facts such as "junk made in Canada" for reaching a conclusion.
Shingles are a bitch of a product to manufacture. It is easy to imagine how a few process steps can vary slightly that alter the end product. Then you consider the variables of handling, shipping and storage prior to making it on someone's roof. I'm frankly amazed there aren't more problems than what we end up seeing.
Actually what a lot of the problems come down to is the organic shingle variety. there are made on recycled newspaper that if not perfectly satuarated in ashphalt they will absorb water unlike fiberglass mat. The old time organic shingles were made on a rag felt that was very good quality unlike today. There are a lot less problems with fiberglass but they got a bum rap from the early 80s when a lot of them cracked. Also its how they handle the claims and complaints that get roofers and home owners fired up.IKO did not handle complaints very well and pissed off a lot of installers, owners and distributers.
IKO handle complaints? hahaha!!! Have you looked at their literature lately? They can't even get their advertising materials to match the color the of their own shingles. That said. We haven't had any problems with them..yet! Last year Ike rolled through Ohio. A lot of GAF and Tamko roofs went flying. I miss ELK
RooferJ is 100% right. IKO's warranty says if it is not leaking they ain't fixing it, which all manufacturers warranties say. But most manufacturers will pay something along the lines of the proration period. But lets not forget about the Organic Horizon and Independence class action law suits. It was aesthetics only and not leaking, Cert. wouldn't pay unless you made some noise.
Never ever will I use IKO. GAF all of the way. You got roofers who use the 99 cent tube of tar and you got roofers who care enough to buy the tube of NP1

I have gotten to the point in my cycling life that I want to do a semi-custom bike or at least swap out some components on my existing bike.
The choices are overwhelming and I am not certain why one would pick what.
As simple background, I mostly like riding for practical reasons (i.e. errands, visiting, going to the park, etc.). In the past, I have ridden for pleasure/exercise (fast loops and long rides) which I will likely not do again, and commuting, which I may do again. I don't want drops anymore and my current bike has whatever a flat bar with slight upswoop is called (look like wings to me). I am dyslexic so gears have always been confusing for me as my brain processes things like that in reverse but my mind sees things forwards (hard to explain if you haven't lived it). I am tall. I currently have a Terry Valkyrie Commute but I have been pining for a step-through / mixte frame because as tall as I am (5'10" 35" inseam), the seat is pretty high up and I would like the option of not swinging my leg over it all the time. I may opt to just change some components on my Terry rather than trying to change to a whole new bike and live with the cross bar height for now. I want the ability to rack the bike, fenders, etc. My current bike has that.
My wish list:
1. Shifters that have numbers. I am drawn to the twist shifters but am not opposed to other ideas. I would think 8 speeds would be sufficient and I would shy away from more as it only makes it more complicated. I gather changing the shifter means changing the derailleur.
2. I love steel frames. Ideas on other bikes or frames?
3. I know it is a potentially controversial topic but what manufacturers are known for what? SRAM, Shimano, Suntour, etc.
4. I had a bike with disc brakes before and liked them. Is it possible to convert to them afterwards?
I would love a resource that explains how bikes go together and what variations in the parts do and why someone who select one over the other. I have always loved bikes and owned a ridiculous number of them in my life but have never really understood the relationship between certain aspects of geometry, what benefit component variations have, etc.
Thanks for your collective wisdom!

Tannerite 4 Pack 1/2 lb. Exploding Binary Target 1/2 BR$19.99
This 4 pack of Tannerite targets are shrink wrapped with 1/2 pound targets, individually packaged and pre-measured catalysts, a free set of shooters ear plugs, a mixing jar, and instructions for use written on each target. This is the perfect package for a gift or if you're trying out Tannerite for the first time.
Tannerite is a binary explosive used primarily as a target for firearms practice, and is unique in that it is exceptionally stable when subjected to less severe forces such as a hammer blow or being dropped. It is supplied as two powders which are combined to produce the explosive. Tannerite is a trademarked name, and binary exploding targets are a patented invention.
Tannerite company recommends using 1/2 pound charges (0.23 kg), which should detonate when shot by a high-powered rifle. Small caliber rim-fire or slow moving pistol ammunition will not initiate a detonation.
Tannerite is used by shooting clubs to provide explosions for their participants in large-scale shooting events, tactical teams, fire authorities, as well as members of the general public who wish to have a shot indicator for extreme long range shooting.
Tannerite detonations occur at a very high velocity, producing a large explosion and cloud of water vapor. It may be useful for persons who are firing at long ranges; in this scenario, a long-range rifle shooter em-places targets, retreats to his firing position, and fires. The shooter does not wish to have to walk down range to see if he has a hit, the Tannerite will detonate and serve as an indicator.
Since the two components are not explosive until mixed, they can legally be purchased and used in the USA without any kind of license. Storage of the mixed Tannerite for commercial purposes may fall under federal regulation unless stored in approved magazines.Learn More

For many people, hunting is more than a sport and much more than just a hobby. For those who have dedicated countless hours and several dollars, hunting is a way of life. Often it is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. It reminds us of a simpler time as it provides food for a family, décor for the walls, and a way for parents to bond with their children. Hunting creates lasting memories for the kid who will never forget the feeling of shooting that first deer. You now have a seemingly endless supply of firearm and archery accessories at your fingertips. There are targets to practice with and scent blocker when you're ready to head out. Cases and cleaning supplies will keep your weapons in tip top shape between hunts. Regardless of the critter you are hunting or what you are hunting with, everything you need is right here.

Say this for Karl Paymah: He's not going to back down from a challenge.
Not from the prospect of filling in for star cornerback Champ Bailey, and certainly not from a rookie challenging him to a footrace.
The latter happened during summer conditioning, when rookie running back Anthony Alridge insinuated that he was faster than Paymah, a high school track star who was clocked at 4.36 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine in 2005.
Alridge ran a 4.36 at the combine last spring.
"He called me out, and obviously I had to teach him his lesson. I beat him," Paymah said. "There's a lot of fast guys on this team. I'm not going to say I'm the fastest. Just don't call me out.

Fans, sign up now for Broncos Premium, our website offering don't-miss news, analysis and features only available to registered users. It's free!
But outsprinting a rookie is nothing like the quest Paymah will face Sunday against Miami when he is expected to make his first start of the season in place of Bailey, an eight-time Pro Bowler who is out for at least three more weeks with a partially torn groin. Paymah started three games as the nickel corner in 2007.
"Just a chance to be in there, starting, with all the fellas, just flying around having fun, is something I haven't done this year," Paymah said.
"It's exciting, and that's what keeps me going."
That it was Paymah, 25, who was tapped to start at corner opposite Dre Bly, initially was surprising considering rookie Jack Williams had supplanted Paymah as the nickel corner after three games, relegating Paymah's role primarily to special teams.
Paymah said he spoke to coaches after Williams' promotion, promising them he was committed to doing whatever they wanted in order to get back on the field.
"I just had to have a good attitude through the whole process and let them know I wanted to get back out there, let them know I wanted to help the team out however I can and I wanted to be in Denver," said Paymah, who is in the final year of his four-year contract.
Broncos defensive coordinator Bob Slowik, who coached the defensive backs from 2005-07, said Paymah moved back ahead of Williams through his work in practice.
"The biggest thing is that he never got down, he kept practicing hard, trying to get better and waiting for his next opportunity, which is here," Slowik said.
Also in Paymah's favor is that his strength is in man-to-man coverage, where he can use his combination of size and speed against the opposition's better receivers. At 6-feet and 195 pounds, Paymah is the biggest of Denver's healthy corners and the closest in build to Bailey, who is 6-0 and 192 pounds and is consistently mentioned as being the team's fastest player.
"I'm the kind of guy that when he has his head right can be one of the best guys out there, the most dominant," Paymah said. "But it's more mental, just knowing what you've got to do and going out and executing. I feel that's the only thing that's holding me back."
Playing well against Miami would be just the boost Paymah needs, even if being asked to replace Bailey seems to be an impossible task.
"He's been out there in game situations, and he's played well," coach Mike Shana-han said of Paymah. "He had a little bit of a rough preseason, but he's made some plays since he's been here, and we're counting on him playing well this game."

His time has come
Cornerback Karl Paymah is the only member of the 2005 draft class still on the Broncos' roster. He is expected to make his first start of the season Sunday against Miami in place of Champ Bailey. Paymah had two interceptions in 2007.
Age: 25
Height/weight: 6-feet, 195 pounds
College: Washington State
How acquired: Third-round draft pick by Denver in 2005, No. 76 overall
Experience: 51 games, three starts
2008 stats: Eight total tackles (three on special teams), one pass defense

The start of the month-long registration period for the March 2 primary is still five weeks away but it is already clear that quite a few Texas Legislature incumbents will have intra party challengers.
The latest is state Rep. Norma Chavez, D-El Paso. Naomi Gonzalez, an attorney at the El Paso County Attorney's Office, said that she filed the paperwork to challenge Chavez for the right to represent House District 76 in next year's primary. However, there is the possibility that Gonzalez could run for an open seat because Chavez is considering running for Texas Senate District 29 that Sen.

The Texas Senate is losing one of its most outspoken and visible members. Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, will announce later today that he will not seek re-election next year.
Shapleigh, long considered one of the most liberal members in both houses, was first elected in 1996 when Democrats still controlled the Texas Legislature and has been a leading proponent of a state income tax to replace property taxes to fund public schools.
"In our family, public service is the highest calling," he said in a statement.

The Republican primary is still five months away but Zach Brady of Lubbock, who is challenging Rep. Delwin Jones for the right to represent Texas House District 83, already has some big endorsements.
Brady announced Tuesday that he received the endorsement of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association. And on Monday he announced the endorsement of the Texas Cotton Ginner Association's – GIN PAC, one of the oldest cotton organizations in the United States.
"Cottn ginners are important businessmen and leading citizens throughout our state," Brady said in a press release.

Critics and cynics may say it was politically motivated but earlier today Gov. Rick Perry appointed Judge Eva Guzman to the Texas Supreme Court, the first Hispanic woman to sit on the high court. She will replace Justice Scott Brister who resigned last month to return to private practice.
Guzman is an associate justice on the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston, where she has ruled on thousands of civil and criminal appeals, and authored hundreds of published opinions, Perry's office said in a press release.

Don't be surprised if one of these days the Texas Association of Business, the largest business organization in the state, recognizes state Sen. Robert Duncan and Rep. Carl Isett.
Today, TAB released its scorecard for this year's session and the two Lubbock Republicans had a 93 percent and 91 percent respectively. For their entire tenure in the Legislature Duncan has a 87 percent score and Isett 92 percent.
Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, was the only legislator from the South Plains/Panhandle delegation with a perfect score this session and his cumulative percentage is 89 percent.

The Texas House Redistricting Committee, which Republican Rep. Delwin Jones of Lubbock chairs, will meet next Wednesday, the first time since the session ended nearly three months ago. And though it is too early to predict what will happen when the Legislature redraws the state's congressional and legislative maps in the 2011 session, some Rio Grande Valley residents are so confident that they will gain a congressional seat that a state senator from the area is already thinking about running in the expected new district.

For the past three weeks, especially since Labor Day, a good number of state legislators have announced that they will seek re-election next year. That's not surprising. About this time every two years most incumbents seeking another term make their intentions clear. Those who plan to step aside do the same to give people in their own party interested in running time to organize a good campaign.
What is different this year is that there are a few state legislators and other state officials whose political fate is uncertain because they were hoping to run for another post.

Caller hints they are connected to AEP (Electric company) and they can "save me money" on my electric bill. Despite repeatedly telling them (it always sounds like the same woman) NOT to call again, that I'm not interested, THEY CONTINUE WITH THE BLAMED CALLS! Man, am I ever getting fed up with ALL telemarketers!
This company said they are a gas and energy company.. they call my house like everyday and then when I called back they said the don't even supply to my area... so I ask them to remove me .. we will see if it works
I recommend getting a Panasonic home phone, you can block them from calling. Love it
