It appears to stop at a variety of points in the transfer. And when I use to restart the system it starts again. And it only happens with the during the transfer of use data. Please help me

I originally put new main pump on which started whining after a week of driving and got hot and quit. I just replaced both transfer and main pump and after idling about 10 mins the main pump got hot and started whining. It will go away after a few seconds and pump will cool then start heating up again and whine. I replaced both pumps with quality parts. I don't know where to go next

An N.C. Highway Patrol trooper driving with blue lights flashing toward the scene of a three-car wreck on U.S. 258 on Monday afternoon struck a driver who allegedly steered in the trooper�s path in the highway�s center lane.
A vehicle rear-ended another, forcing the second motorist into the north lane, Sgt. C.C. Wells of Highway Patrol said. The second vehicle struck the northbound motorist head-on, he added.
�There were five people injured in that collision,� Wells said late Monday night.
The extent of their injuries was not immediately available.
Trooper Leonard Alvarado was en route to the three-car wreck in his patrol car.
�He came up on traffic that was slowed and stopped. In order to get to the scene, he activated his blue lights and drove in the center lane,� Wells said.
An SUV heading south turned left in front of the patrol car, he added.
�The patrol vehicle struck him in the center turning lane and there was just minor injuries,� Wells said.
The trooper was not hurt, he added.
The cruiser struck the SUV about 6 p.m.
�You have to check that (making a turn across traffic) can be done safely,� Wells said.
He added that speed was not a factor for the cruiser and the SUV.
Inattention was a factor, however, Wells said.
It was unclear what time the three vehicles collided.
�We had to send another trooper to the scene,� Wells said.
Traffic resumed at regular flow along the highway about 8 p.m., he added.
As to whether another agency investigated, Wells said Highway Patrol examines its wrecks based on a specific list of contributing factors.
�The Highway Patrol does not determine fault in an accident,� Wells said.
As to how the agency balances its investigation when one of its own is involved, Wells said ��All we do is apply contributing circumstances. You can�t make stuff up.�

Polio, of all the vaccines he's pushing, polio...that's honestly laughable...there are like two places in the world polio is not erraticated...and the people in those countires are so poor and remote that they were not vaccinated, anyone travling to this country was vaccinated...If you were traveling sure, polio might be good, but you're not...baby will be fine, my grandpa had polio...he lived...I would consider when he;s older, but not before 5 at least...
( . )( . ) Diamond Nips!
So what I can't spell-get over yourself...
Even traveling, you may not want to get the polio shots... it is just very rare. Even with travelers and immigrants, I think there have been less than a handful of polio cases that have even come into the country in the past 20 years... I can't find the info now...maybe some has it...
Polio is the one I am least worried about. Until we travel to Asia, which won't be for a few years, I will not even consider it. I am not trying to give vaccines for something that I am not very, if at all, concerned about her contracting. Hep B and Polio are two I have no concern about.
I am considering Hib, Pneumoccocal. Not even really worried about Dtap.
Luckily my doc is as anti vax as I am, very open.
My ped.'s opinion is polio is the bottom of the list (she says they're all important but that if you are going to rank them, that would be at the bottom.) she also puts Hib at the top of the list, along with pneumoccocal.
~Jen, mom to Rebecca (3/08), Eliana (4/11), Zachary (1/13) and Ryan (6/15)
This shows the cases of hib www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/m...
It appears there were 19 cases of serotype b haemophilous influenzae in 2012. Someone tell me if I'm reading that wrong.
Hib and pneumoccocal were the two I had at the top of the list... to be honest, after looking into those more, I actually decided not to vaccinate at all at this point (he is almost 5)... but, I will also admit, I can't remember to details on those particular vaccines... I guess it was about 2 1/2 years ago I made that decision (before a trip to south america w/ DS)... Apparently, the lifespan of my memory has run out...so, maybe it is time for me to research a bit again.


text: 628 FXUS65 KPUB 291735 AFDPUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 1135 AM MDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 345 AM MDT Sun May 29 2016 ...Severe thunderstorms possible on the plains this afternoon... Currently...a few light rain showers are passing across the San Luis Valley and portions of the eastern plains along the New Mexico border. These areas probably will not see more than a few sprinkles out of the showers through sunrise. Elsewhere dry conditions prevail with light winds and temperatures in the 50s. Today...the main forecast concern for today will be the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of the eastern plains this afternoon. Models are still having a bit of disagreement on how far west the dryline develops. Have trended with the NAM, NAM 4 km and NSSL WRF solutions with the dryline a bit west based on the expected flow pattern and surface low development. Aloft, an upper level low is forecast to drift across southern California while flat high pressure shifts east out of Colorado and into the central plains. Southwesterly flow is forecast to strengthen across Colorado by this afternoon. An embedded disturbance over southern New Mexico is forecast to lift northeast into southern Colorado by late this afternoon. This will for a surface low to develop near Trinidad and should help pull the dryline and moisture westward into eastern Colorado. Both NAM solutions and the NSSL WRF, along with a couple of other high-res model solutions follow this scenario. Expect thunderstorms development by 21Z along the dryline which is forecast to track east into western Kansas by this evening. Models are pointing to Baca County as being the most likely area to see a severe thunderstorms this afternoon given the modest CAPE and shear profiles there. Further north, shear will be limited, which will likely keep thunderstorms below severe limits. The main threats from storms will be lightning, outflow winds approaching 60 mph and hail near one inch in diameter, especially over Baca County. Elsewhere, showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop by late morning over the mountains and spread east into the I-25 corridor this afternoon, before dissipating this evening. There is some disagreement as the the extent of shower and thunderstorm coverage, with a few high-res solutions bringing more widespread showers and thunderstorms to the I-25 corridor, while a few solutions keep the greatest coverage confined to the Palmer Divide. Tonight...expect showers and thunderstorms to continue east across the plains and dissipate during the overnight hours. Any severe threat should come to an end during the evening as thunderstorms move into Kansas. Once showers and thunderstorms dissipate, expect dry conditions to prevail into Monday morning. Overnight lows will fall into the 50s across the region. Mozley .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 345 AM MDT Sun May 29 2016 ...Another System Tuesday and Tuesday Night... Pattern to remain active for a few more days. Monday afternoon and evening, a shortwave will move through the ridge over Colorado, delivering another round of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. This system looks to primarily impact areas along and north of Highway 50. It could also help to trigger storms along the dryline over the far eastern plains near Kansas. A few severe storms will be possible across El Paso County and also along the dryline. Tuesday and Tuesday night looks like the most active period of the week as a strong low pressure area tracking through the northern U.S. plains sends a strong cold front south through eastern Colorado. The front will send a strong surge of upslope flow south through the plains and back up against the eastern mountain ranges. First convective and then more stratiform precipitation are poised to develop behind the front as it moves through, favoring the eastern slopes of the mountains and the adjacent plains along the I25 corridor. Additionally, snow levels may lower to near 9000 feet Tuesday night bringing another round of wet snow to the region above the snow level. Wednesday, the system will be mainly south of the area but clouds and cool temperatures will linger over southern Colorado. The plains may be too stable for much in the way of additional precipitation but areas over and near the mountains will likely see another round of afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Thursday through Saturday, the pattern switches back to a more summer-like one. A big ridge of high pressure will build over the western US and northern Rockies. This will bring warmer and generally drier air to the region. There will still be slight chances for thunderstorms each day but these will mainly be over the mountains during the afternoon and evening hours. Temperatures will soar to summertime levels during the period, rising from near average on Thursday to well above average and just plain hot across the plains Friday and Saturday. High temperatures will be nearing the 90 degree mark across much of the lower Arkansas River Valley both Friday and Saturday afternoon. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1135 AM MDT Sun May 29 2016 VFR conditions expected at COS, PUB and ALS for the next 24 hours. Scattered showers and thunderstoms will continue to develop over the mountains and spread east across the adjacent plains through the early evening withg storms diminish overnight. Best chances for storms affecting terminals will be at COS from 20z through 01z. Storms that move across the terminals will produce gusty outflow winds up to 40 mph and brief rainfall. A few storms across the far southeast plains could be strong to severe this afternoon, producing large hail. && .PUB Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Video: Barack Obama and Jay Leno Talk Reality TV
The premise of the president's anti-Kardashian stance is pretty shaky.
Barack Obama appeared on the Tonight Show on Tuesday for a wide-ranging, soft-hitting chat about topics including his exercise routine, Halloween candy (he likes it), his graying hair ("Michelle thinks I look old. But that's okay — she still thinks I'm cute"), and his reluctance to expose his daughters to the Kardashian gals: As it turns out, he's never even seen the show! "So you're making a judgment without ever seeing the show?," asked Leno, quite fairly. "I'm probably a little biased against reality TV because [of] this program on C-SPAN called 'Congress,'" the president responded. As for the GOP debates, he's "waiting until everybody's voted off the island" to tune in.

most famous North American Carnival is New Orleans' Mardi Gras
festival. This year, the final day of Mardi Gras' festivities,
otherwise known as Fat Tuesday, falls on March, 8. The next day, Ash
Wednesday, marks the beginning of Lent. Lent is the forty-six day period
before Easter during which many Christians practice repentance, moderation,
spiritual awareness, and a period of fasting. Mardi Gras is more than
one big party before a long period of solemnity and devotion; this week,
we learn about the history of Mardi Gras' and its festivities.
Centuries ago, French settlers brought Mardi Gras festivities to New
Orleans. It is an event steeped in tradition and full of religious and
cultural significance. It is also the region's largest tourist
attraction. The TLC channel introduces us to How Mardi Gras works with
six brief chapters. Read each, beginning with the
Introduction to How Mardi Gras Works. When do the Mardi Gras festivities
begin in New Orleans? What is the final day of celebration called and
when does it fall on the calendar? By what other names is the celebration
referred to?
Have you ever wondered
what Mardi Gras celebrates? Discover the answer in the next chapter.
What is the origin of Mardi Gras and what do you guess the earliest
revelers were celebrating? Begin a list of words associated with Mardi
Gras. Define those you can. What questions do you have about Mardi Gras?
two states that early Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans bore little
resemblance to the celebrations we know today. Perhaps one of the questions
you recorded was When
was the first "modern" Mardi Gras? Chapter three addresses
this question. List several hallmarks of New Orleans' Mardi Gras?
On average, how many parades and parties have there been each Mardi
Gras during the past two centuries? Who organizes each party and parade,
and who oversees the Mardi Gras events? Where else might you go to observe
Mardi Gras or Carnival?
Skip ahead to the chapters on the Mardi Gras parades
and costumes.
Because there is no overarching Mardi Gras theme, each krewe aims to
make their parade the most unique, colorful, or memorable. Floats and
costumes range from the generic to outrageous. Krewe themes range from
inspiring to humorous to satirical. What is a krewe and what is its
role in Mardi Gras? Why is it necessary to have rental floats? Why might
the city restrict the frequency with which rental floats may appear?
How are Mardi Gras kings and queens unlike most royalty? Are you interested
in attending Mardi Gras? Why?
Finally, compare your list of terms associated with Mardi Gras with
Mardi Gras glossary. Put a mark next to each term on your list that
is in the glossary. Which terms seem most important to understanding
Mardi Gras?
the TLC site, you discovered that Mardi Gras is part of Christianity's
celebration leading to Lent and then Easter. Describe what you think
a religious celebration typically looks like—the setting, activities,
and sounds. How do you imagine the early Mardi Gras festivities were
different than those today? Now that you are familiar with Mardi Gras
and its traditions, let us look a little deeper at its history by viewing
the History Channel's video on the History
of Mardi Gras. How accurate were your expectations for religious
and early Mardi Gras celebrations? What pagan holidays are the forefathers
of Mardi Gras? Mardi Gras translate from French to "Fat Tuesday."
Why was it named this—what do "Fat" and "Tuesday"
refer to? Who brought Mardi Gras to the United States and why is it
most prominent in New Orleans? How did the Mystic Krewe of Comus change
Mardi Gras? How has Mardi Gras changed over the years? Explain why Mardi
Gras is important to New Orleans.
Krewes are an essential part of Mardi Gras. What do you know about
krewes? What questions do you still have about them? For a final look
at krewes and their role in Mardi Gras, scroll down and select the video
titled Mardi Gras Parade Krewes. After watching the video, revise your
list of questions to reflect new knowledge and questions.
University is one of New Orleans' premier universities. Their
Manuscripts Department holds a collection
of float and costume designs from what is considered the Golden
Age of Carnival, 1870-1930. View larger images of the float
designs by double clicking on the small images in the right margin.
Next, visit the costume
designs and do the same. What themes do you notice? Where did these
designers find their inspiration? Where did they get their ideas? Which
float and which costume do you prefer? Why? If you were to design a
parade theme, float, and costume, what would you choose for each?
Read the local and world news in the e-edition and find an article with an example of a celebration. What is being
celebrated and by whom? How long does it last and where is it held?
What special traditions does it include? What do you know about the
history of the celebration featured in the article? How does this event
compare to Mardi Gras or to other annual celebrations you are familiar
with? How does it compare to an annual celebration you participate in
regularly? Are you interested in participating in this celebration?
If so, in what capacity, and if not, why? Nominate an event or person
for celebration and explain why it/she/he is worthy of a celebration.
Why do people have celebrations at all? What purpose(s) do they serve?

So, I suppose that Brad Wiggens, Froom, Ryder H, Miguel Indurain, Taylor Phinney and a host of other tall guys like me are the exception to the rule?
You can also see that the median height of a TdF rider is about 1.79 m (5' 10.5"), which is only slightly higher than the median of a 20-29 year old U.S. male (1.78 m or 5'10"). So, TdF riders are pretty representative of general population, unlike NBA players.
I'm not sure.

Yes. Short cyclists have to deal with constant teasing from their normal sized friends. It's a burden, but you'll learn to deal with it.
Telemachus has, indeed, sneezed.
Also, we generally think of BMI's in the range of 25-30 as "overweight" and a BMI > 30 as "obese". I think what the chart shows is that the standard BMI formula doesn't quite standardize properly, so that although two individuals may have the same BMI, if one is short and one is tall, most observers wouldn't say that they were "equivalently" skinny or fat. This is even easier to see if you compare, say, male Olympic gymnasts or maybe male ballet dancers with cyclists and NBA players (all three groups who aren't known for having a lot of excess fat): the shorter you are, the lower your BMI, the taller you are, the higher your BMI.

Depends on how short the cyclist is. If he is vying for the role of Tyrion Lannister, definitely a disadvantage.

This is a guest post, from Lindsey, one of our marketing interns:
I've known how to knit (and I mean knit, no purling or increasing/decreasing etc) for a couple years, but have spent the last few months working diligently at learning more yarncrafting skills. My most recent accomplishment: learning to crochet!
Less than one week and two projects into crocheting, I decided to find a great project for my new favorite yarn, Homespun! As a fashion-conscious young New Yorker looking for something fun to make, the Crochet Ruffle Scarf seemed logical to me. So, I looked at the pattern, decided it would be easy enough for me to make, grabbed a ball of Homespun in Lagoon (which matches about half of my current wardrobe), and got started.
You'll notice I never mentioned consciously picking a hook size. I had two hooks in my apartment—N-13 and I-9— and of course I picked the N-13. The pattern calls for a K-10.5, but I tend not to pay attention when working on scarves. It wasn't until I was on the second row and delighted with how I could see the ruffle taking shape that I noticed this was going to be the longest scarf ever! Well, I finished it anyway. I used more than the one ball it was supposed to require, but I had already prepared myself for that. At first I thought it was too long, but after a little modeling for my roommate and laughing at how ridiculous it was, I realized it was actually kind of cute. In fact, worn just hanging, not wrapped, it makes quite a fashion statement. Or I can wrap it around my neck as many times as my style — or cold weather — deems necessary.
After finishing it, I had just over a ball of Lagoon still in my stash. As it was just a few days before a friend's birthday, I decided to find the correct hook and make her a scarf too. I made hers a little smaller than my giant scarf; she prefers function over fashion and the ruffle was enough decoration for her. It turned out perfect and she loves it!

On Sunday, I had the most exhausting, exhilarating, crazy, fun- filled, AMAZING day ever! Of course, I'm talking of Lion Brand Yarn Studio's first member-only preview day. At 10:30 am, the line had already started to form. By the time we opened the doors at noon, there were already sixty fantastic, loyal, excited Lion Brand Yarn fans waiting to get in. We opened the doors and the fun began. In the next five hours, over 500 Lion Brand customers passed through our doors.
It was so great to meet you all! What a remarkable bunch of yarn-crafters. I met someone who flew in from Washington DC, a woman who came in from Maryland, a man who drove from Pennsylvania. I guess it's true what they say about us yarn lovers: if you build it (and fill it with yarn), we will come. I think my favorite part of the day was when I visited the back of the line to see how everyone was doing. I asked, "How's everything going back here?" and a wonderful woman said, "Great, we're all having fun and making friends." I hope that will set the tone for our future.
Speaking of the future, we have lots of fun events coming up in the next few months. First, there's the grand opening, November 18th. We will have free demos throughout the day and hourly raffles!
Check out our web page, LionBrandYarnStudio.com, for news and events, and be sure to sign up for the Studio e-mail list! If you are on the Lion Brand Yarn e-mail list, you still have to sign up separately for the Studio e-mail.
Today will be our second preview day, from 12 to 7 pm — we look forward to meeting even more of you!
Hope to see you all soon and often!

while (!(UCSR0A & (1 << UDRE0))) // Wait for empty transmit buffer UCSR0A |= 1 << TXC0; // mark transmission not complete while (!(UCSR0A & (1 << TXC0))); // Wait for the transmission to complete
Could it make sense to just check one per main loop that the transmission has completed?
But once I am using packets of a larger size this could potentially block the rest of the program, whether that would be noticeable is very unlikely I guess.

The 49ers will host the annual Beach Invitational at Cerritos College, April 19-20.
April 17, 2013
Meet Program | Schedule | Meet Records | Late Entries
Complete Release in PDF Format
LONG BEACH - The Long Beach State track & field team wraps up a busy week by hosting the Beach Invitational at Cerritos College, April 19-20.
The annual Beach Invitational, hosted by Long Beach State, will be held at Cerritos College this weekend (April 19-20). The hammer throw is the only event slated for Friday with the women starting things off at noon and the men's competition getting underway at approximately 2 p.m. The meet will resume on Saturday with the track events beginning at 8:30 a.m. and the field events set for an 8:45 a.m. start.
This is the largest meet that LBSU has hosted to date with nearly 2,000 individuals and almost 3,000 entries in the 2013 edition of the Beach Invitational. In addition, there are 34 states, 22 clubs and four countries (Brazil, Canada, Mexico, United States) represented. The event has grown by over 400 percent since 2006.
There are a handful of special events set to take place at the Beach Invitational this weekend. The 49ers will honor 22 student-athletes in a Senior Day ceremony beginning at 11:45 a.m. Long Beach State is also hosting the "Fastest Kid in Long Beach" Race for boys and girls (K-8th grade), starting at 12:45 p.m.
Two Olympians, Jamie Nieto and Mark Crear, will also be in attendance for the Kid's Fun Zone from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nieto, a high jumper, placed sixth in the 2012 London Olympic finals and finished fourth at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. He was also a four-time national champion and a 2004 Pan American Games silver medalist. Crear has been one of the United States' more prominent hurdlers, ranking among the top-10 in the world for eight consecutive years. He won silver in the 110H at the 1996 Atlanta Games and also captured a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney.
Last weekend, the 49er men won their sixth-straight Big West Challenge team title, while the women finished second. Chris Yates led the way in the throws with individual victories in the shot put and discus. Willie Alexander was also a double-winner in the long jump and triple jump. On the track, Michael Perez-Rogers took top honors in the 400m, while Devin Hickey claimed the 110m hurdle title. The women added four event wins, led by Alexandra Cervantes, who picked up a huge personal-best 175-01 in the hammer throw. She now ranks third in school history.
Senior co-captain Michael Vaughan has been one of the top triple jumpers in the nation this year. The Rosamond, Calif., native established a personal-record 51-07.25 in the season opener at the Beach Classic (March 3), earning him Big West Men's Field Athlete of the Week honors. Vaughan's mark is tied for eighth in school history and ranks first in the Big West, eighth in the West region and 13th in the nation.
The Long Beach State men's throws squad has been dominant in the Big West in recent years and 2013 is shaping up to be no different as a 49er owns the top mark in the conference in three of the four throwing events. Adam Bianchessi (javelin), Jason Harrell (discus) and Joel Baez (hammer) all lead the Big West in their respective events, while senior co-captain Chris Yates, who recently nabbed his second Big West Men's Field Athlete of the Week honor, is second in the shot put (59-01.25) and the hammer (191-06).
Long Beach State will have a split squad next weekend as it is slated to compete in both the UC San Diego Triton Invitational (April 26-27) and the UC Irvine/Steve Scott Invitational (April 27-28).

In 1940, tensions again ran high overseas and Dodge began testing military prototypes based upon civilian vehicle platforms. They were put through a battery of tests and simulations, including wheel-miring mud fields, in preparation for large-scale production. In the spring of 1941, Dodge began rapid production of vehicles for the Lend-Lease program. Lend-Lease was the program by which the U.S. supplied the UK, USSR, France, China and other Allied Nations with materials during WWII (194145).

Farewell Carroll Shelby Turbocharged 1980s and the Birth of the Snake
In the early 1980s, Carroll Shelby received a call from then Chrysler President Lee Iacocca to help resurrect Dodges performance image. Just like Shelby, the Dodge brand basically got out of the hot rod business while the company was going through bankruptcy during this era. Lee knew Carroll was just what the brand needed to get it back in the forefront of the enthusiast market, and since Lee and Carroll worked together back in the 1960s, there was…Read More

To say he lived an exciting life would be a massive understatement, as very few people within the auto industry could pull off what he did for over 60 years.

Bellows Falls voters approve reduced budgetJune 25,2013Staff Report
BELLOWS FALLS — Village voters narrowly approved a revised annual village budget Monday night during a special meeting, 52-43.
On a nine-vote margin, voters approved a $1,803,038 budget, which would require $1,697,934 to be raised by taxes. The new spending plan didn't have a ninth police officer for the Bellows Falls Village Police Department.
The Bellows Falls Village Trustees had proposed restoring the ninth officer, which was eliminated in 2009, but voters at the annual village meeting in May made clear they couldn't afford another officer.
However, voters turned down a move to level-fund the village budget, which would have cut the police department's overtime budget.
Some voters made clear Monday night they were reaching their breaking point when it came to taxes, with several people suggesting the village disband as an entity, shifting responsibility for fire protection to the town of Rockingham, leaving police coverage in limbo.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

These codes came up and my car is running really rich. The person that I bought it from said he replaced part of the exhaust because of a leak. I just cleared the codes and my car started stalling after that all the way home. It was idling way to low. It finally stopped stalling and is idling just fine. It usually runs fine with no problems but I wanna fix it. Any suggestions?

I was just wondering how many ladies from our board have caught there rainbows? I have seen some from time to time while popping in. I'm just looking for some extra hope from the group I feel closes to. Still trying to catch ours and hoping for the same from our other ladies that haven't yet.
I had my miscarriage and D&C in early August at 12 1/2 weeks pregnant. We started trying again in October and still nothing. I'm expecting AF either tomorrow or Thursday based on my ovulation tests. I tested this morning it was negative, so I'm guessing I'm out.
It's really hard because I just so want to be pregnant and was really hoping this was our month.
Me-Steph & DH
Mommy to 3 Handsome DS & 1 Pretty DSD
Cautiously expecting our September Rainbow Girl
I have yet to catch my rainbow. I have had crazy cycles since my d&c on 7/16. Next testing day is 12/15. Praying for my Rainbow baby and congrats to all who have already caught theirs.
Slme - we had our D&Cs at almost the same time/same gestation. My AF is due on Friday. I really am not feeling optimistic either for this cycyle. I hope that we both get wonderful surprises!
I was cramping this morning, but AF never came. But, I took a test this afternoon and it was negative. So, I'm guessing AF will show up tomorrow, that's what happened last week.
I've been getting a two-day surge on my OPKs and it seems that the second positive test is the day I ovulate. So, I'm guessing tomorrow morning.
It just sucks because we had a lot of sex around the time I ovulated. It's just frustrating when there is nothing more you can do and you know you can get pregnant, but it just isn't happening.
I also have a first birthday party to go to this weekend and am not looking foward to being in a house full of babies and toddlers. Especially when in two and a half months I'd be joining that club :(
Congrats Erica!!! Hoping and wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!!!

Asa Looks Back in 'Life Review' as It Celebrates 50 Years
Cavanaugh, Gloria, Aging Today
I want to thank everyone who contributed to the tremendous success of ASA's 50th anniversary gala celebration in April. More than 700 people attended the reception and dinner-which included a visit from San Francisco's new mayor, Gavin Newsom-and the event raised almost $400,000 toward the establishment of the association's first endowment fund. We were particularly gratified by the many wonderful corporate and organizational contributions. All of our supporters are being acknowledged, but at this time I would like to express gratitude to Pfizer Inc., AARP and Retirement Research Foundation for their generous sponsorship of the gala event. We were very pleased that Peter B. Corr, Pfizer senior vice president for science and technology, and Tom Nelson, chief operating office of AARP, were able to join us at the anniversary dinner.
I was especially happy to see many past presidents and board chairs of the association seated at the head table. We recently called on these leaders and other members of ASA's Council of Presidents to reminisce about their years with the association. A member of our publications staff, Jonathan Kauffman, wove many of their responses into the following brief history of the organization. I'm glad to be able to present his "life review" of ASA in this column.
In 1954, a small group of Californians working in the nascent field of aging banded together to form a professional society. They envisioned their group, which they named the Western Gerontological Society (WGS), as a regional satellite group of the Gerontological Society. Eventually, it would grow into the American Society on Aging. In the first 15 years of its existence, WGS remained a parochial, volunteer-run organization centered in California's large cities. The field of gerontology, as it was beginning to be defined in the post-World War II United States, was an obscure, largely academic field.
James Birren, who moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1960s to start one of the first full-fledged academic gerontology programs in the United States at the University of Southern California (USC), joined WGS in 1965. He became its president three years later. "In those days," he says, "[WGS] alternated meetings between San Francisco and Los Angeles. We didn't have many members who traveled to the meetings, so participants mostly represented local enterprises."
Yet even then, the professionals who attended the tiny one-day conferences reflected a characteristic that remains at the core of the organization: its focus on direct services to elders. Because WGS was so far from the powerhouses of academic gerontology and aging policy on the East Coast, the fledgling organization's meetings primarily attracted professionals in health and human services who did not have the time or means to attend national conferences-but who were just as hungry as academic gerontologists for knowledge about aging. According to Birren, most of these early WGS conferences brought speakers from the East Coast to talk about the medical, psychological and sociological aspects of aging.
In the words of Roy Van Orman (WGS president, 1976-77), who began traveling to WGS conferences from Utah in the late 19608, "[WGS] was a mom-and-pop organization that allowed professionals who were directly involved in service provision to compare notes, learn about new ideas, share notes on funding, talk about what kind of research ought to be conducted and find out what kinds of projects were functioning ... Meetings were also a chance to connect with each other and laugh."
The passage of the Older Americans Act in 1965 brought the field of aging to life, creating hundreds of new programs for older adults and putting millions of dollars into academic programs and government-funded services. Thousands of professionals, many of them just beginning their careers, joined the field of aging. Most had little or no formal training in gerontology.
Even though WGS had no paid staff, its conferences began to grow exponentially, and the organization's leaders began to discuss expanding its geographic scope to draw in members from the 18 westernmost states. …

1.Running on BYU: Not many teams have been able to put a lot of offense on No. 9 BYU this season, but New Mexico might break the mold with its rushing attack. The Lobos rank 25th in the country with 205.50 yards rushing while the Cougars are allowing 112 yards per game.
2.Has Clausen improved? Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen will face his toughest secondary yet, and everyone will finally get to see how much he's improved this season. He hasn't thrown an interception in the past two games, but the Tar Heels lead the nation in picks with 12.
3.Buffalo asserts itself: Buffalo is on the weaker side of the Mid-American Conference -- the East -- but it has a chance to make some waves by defeating a Western Michigan team that's as hot as any other team in the conference. The Bulls have had an extra week of rest and preparation.
4.A new or blue Hawaii: Hawaii was jazzed after its win over Fresno State last weekend and it had every right to be. But now what does it do with that momentum? It faces a beatable opponent at home in Louisiana Tech and should begin its first winning streak of the season.
5.Battle for the Belt: With Troy's win on Tuesday, the pressure is on Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette to keep pace. Last year's champ, Florida Atlantic, is all but out of the way, and now it's time for a new team to emerge and challenge.
6.Memphis on the move: Memphis has been one of the hottest teams in the non-BCS of late, but this weekend's rivalry game against Louisville will prove just how much of a threat the Tigers can be to a Conference USA East that's begging for some team to assume control.
7.Rebounding: Two C-USA teams will be playing on the rebound this weekend after tough losses in the past couple weeks. East Carolina has had two weeks to reflect on its current two-game losing streak. Tulane was stunned by Army last week and lost six players to injury in the process. Both teams will be looking to right the ship.
8.Rocket man: Toledo couldn't have picked a worse time for its first trip to the Big House at Michigan as coach Tom Amstutz deals with criticism about the Rockets' 1-4 start and his job security. The Rockets are in the midst of a three-game losing streak, including a 31-0 loss to Ball State last weekend.
9.Utah gets a breather: After facing a couple tough opponents two of the last three games, Utah gets a bit of a reprieve against a Wyoming team that's 2-4, but lost its last three by an average of 32.3 points, including two shutouts. If the Utes want to prove they can play a complete game, this would be the time.
10.Wolf Pack's back: After two convincing wins the past couple weeks, Nevada could be one of the few teams that don't allow Boise State to run away with the WAC title. The Wolf Pack will have a tough task against a New Mexico State team it barely escaped last season.

I started when I was a teenager, I had a bike sitting there not getting used, and I thought about using the bike to get to school. It sure beats waiting for the bus and it beats walking.
My first ride to school took 15 minutes for a two kilometre route, quite unhealthy really (plus it was hilly, having not ridden much before, I sucked at hills). It really hurts, my high school was on top of a hill, when I dismounted, I was ready to puke, but I didn't.
After that, I persisted for a few more months, I got that time down to 6 minutes for easy brisk commute, and it was easily the best commuting option available because one, bus took anywhere around 8-14 minutes plus waiting time, and two, walking took anywhere around 20-30 minutes.
Looking back to when I made my decision, I'm glad I did. It made me more energetic, healthier, and my stamina is much higher in the morning compared to everyone else when I got to class. Not to mention the countless hours I've saved from waiting for the bus or walking.
Today, I can see myself commuting as much as 50-60 kilometres a day if I have to, and I use my bikes for all my commuting duties because I can.
What's your story?

My brake light has been replaced, I've checked the wires and the connections all look fine. When I turn on my lights all the lights come on, when I press on the brakes the brake light on the rightside goes out. I don't understand it, I am trying to fix it myself because if I go to the dealership they'll see me a just a woman who knows no better and want to charge me some crazy price for something that might be simple to fix.

As all of Obama's loyalists abandon ship, the departure of Robert Gibbs is the latest one.
Arguably the most mediocre WH Press Secretary recorded in American history, Gibbs greatly entertained us in the Conservative Movement.
Here is my absolute favorite moment from him. There are more of them:
Watch the YouTube video and go to 24:05 on the WH Press Briefing on 05.11.2009:
Q Keeping on just — on what happened today, I'm resisting my urge to ask about the avocados. (Laughter.)
MR. GIBBS: Let me go ahead and short-circuit that. I assume those — I have some in my office. The Mexican Embassy, as part of Cinco de Mayo, sent avocados. I've not made the guacamole yet, but if somebody can get me a relatively sharp knife, some garlic, tomatoes and some red onions, and bring the chips, we'll be good to go.
Q Cilantro. Does today's announcement accelerate or change your expectations at all on how quickly the Hill is going to move on this? And what — did you have to revise when you expect them — you talked about the winding process earlier — when you expect them to have the bill for the President?

Dozens of USDA Civilian Experts Currently Serving in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2011 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) announced today that Michael Clayton, a district conservationist with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Princeton, Ky., is currently serving a one-year assignment in Afghanistan to help rebuild that country's agricultural sector. Clayton is one of 56 USDA employees serving in Afghanistan. The growth of Afghanistan's agricultural sector, which employs more than 80 percent of its workforce, is a key piece of the U.S. government's strategy to stabilize the country.
"The efforts of people like Mr. Clayton are crucial for creating a stable, democratic and economically viable Afghanistan," said FAS Administrator John Brewer. "Whether their expertise is in forestry, soil and water conservation, marketing, agricultural extension and policy, or veterinary services, volunteers like Mike are contributing their specialized skills to help Afghans rebuild their economy so that stability may take hold."
Most USDA employees deployed to Afghanistan since 2003 have served as agricultural experts within civilian-military units consisting of military force protection and civilians with expertise in agriculture, governance and other areas in need of attention. USDA agricultural experts work side by side with Afghans and U.S. government and international partners in 24 of Afghanistan's 34 rural provinces. At the provincial and district levels, USDA agricultural experts train local government representatives and Afghan extension workers in plant and animal health, natural resources management, and improved cultivation and production methods.
USDA's primary role in Afghanistan is helping to build capacity within the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) so that it may deliver vital services to Afghan citizens and farming families. USDA currently maintains up to 10 agricultural ministry experts within MAIL. In late 2010, USDA officials in Afghanistan announced implementation of a $38 million, multi-year effort meant to help MAIL expand its human resources and build administrative capacity.
Additional USDA employees working in Afghanistan serve as Foreign Service Officers and as members of the Interagency Provincial Affairs (IPA) section within the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, the office that coordinates the civilian-military units deployed throughout the country.
Clayton, of Madisonville, Ky., currently resides in Princeton. He received his bachelor's degree in agronomy from Iowa State University in Ames. Formerly, Clayton served as a USDA agricultural expert in Iraq, where he worked to strengthen the local poultry industry, enabled more than 1,000 disadvantaged farmers and their families to get clean drinking water, and nurtured farmer cooperatives.
General information about USDA's programs and activities in Afghanistan can be found at www.usda.gov/afghanistan.

Sigh, Blockhead is so annoying and unfunny it hurts. This movie has some nice graphics, but what good is that when it's so retarded? I couldn't even watch the whole thing.
Well I must say this was a pretty fantastic flash. for the mostpart it was highly entertaining, it kept your interest, and has some nice visuals that really come together, so that was the good of things. I am really enjoying this flash movie, you do have the skills just takes putting them across the board even further then you already have. Really good "LOADER" but even better with the actual toon this was funny and great voices great use of colors and backrounds was an amusing flash. So while I liked this flash there are some good and bad about it, I went over it abit but have suggested some more ideas below hope it helps, its not major but could use more of the effort on little stuff here and there,
So here we will go with a few helpful tips, and maybe make it better maybe just a few touch ups or more content regardless lets get the ball rolling. I tend to mention adding subtitles while its not a needed feature but would make for a decent one.
The animation is great and the humor is fantastic. I've never seen a good looking animation where the character has so little detail.
Cool it's amazing
guys who are wanting another blockhead...
swain is not making any more blockhead until project nexus 2 is finito... at least
not that he doesn't want to
he is busy

"In and around Puerto Vallarta" Puerto Vallarta by sloppyb
Puerto Vallarta Travel Guide: 1,173 reviews and 2,013 photos
My two friends and I just returned from a trip to Puerto Vallarta...we read many of your Virtual Tourist pages before we went, so I wanted to share our experiences in return!
Overall Puerto Vallarta was a cool place to visit for a week. There is plenty to keep yourself busy, and a heathy mix between "tourist" stuff, and truly local fare.
For the more adventurous types, there are also beautiful little towns to the North and South of PV - all within 45 minutes of driving.
Many people complained about Time Share salespeople - but we honestly never ran into ANY. I know, call it a fluke, but noone ever solicited us.
- Pros:Nice beaches, bars, nightlife, neighboring towns are beautiful and largely unvisited
- Cons:Touristy, rainy season is no joke :)
- In a nutshell:Great for a week - be sure to rent a car and explore Punta Mita!
Reviews (5)
We rented a car and drove from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta - this is actually cheaper than renting in Puerto Vallarta... more travel advice
We drove to PV from Guadalaraja...it took about 4-5 hours, but was well worth it. We stopped in the town of Tequila... more travel advice
About 50km north of Puerto Vallarta is the sleepy town of Sayulita...there seemed to be quite a few ex-pats here, but I... more travel advice
You definitely have to check out Punta Mita...it's relatively untouched by mainstream tourists, and has opulent white... more travel advice

The 12 Japan pro baseball teams open spring camps this week on Feb. 1, in Okinawa, south Kyushu and Shikoku, and next week we'll give a rundown of who's training where and for how long. Meanwhile, here is a look at what has been happening in the final days of the off-season break.
One of the newest members of the Yomiuri Giants, outfielder Alex Ramirez, came in early to try on his new Kyojin jersey on Jan. 21 in Tokyo.
Often a veteran foreign player, after an all-too-short winter, will ask and get permission from his team to report to camp later in February.
"I'll be there maybe about the 10th," a guy would say. Or, "Look for me around Feb. 15." But Rami's face without his goatee, in keeping with his new club's no-facial hair policy, graced the front page of the Sports Hochi newspaper, the fun-and-games publication affiliated with The Yomiuri Shimbun, on Jan. 22. He'll be playing his eighth year in Tokyo after seven seasons with the Giants cross-town rival Yakult Swallows, and getting here early is starting off on the right foot with his new team.
Ramirez was followed on another early bird flight by new teammate Marc Kroon, whose clean-shaven face graced the Hochi's front page on Jan. 26. Yomiuri's new closer tried on his Giants jersey and cap, which he wore in his trademark crooked style in Tokyo the previous day.
|* * * * *
Former Hanshin Tigers and Taiyo Whales outfielder Hirokazu Kato died Jan. 21 in Tokyo. He was 56, and the cause of death was reported as lung cancer. Kato began his career in 1972 with the then-Nishitetsu Lions in Fukuoka but transferred to the Tigers for whom he played from 1976 to 1982. He wrapped up his active days with the Whales, playing in Yokohama from 1983 to 1990.
In recent years, Kato was a well-known commentator with the Fuji-Sankei group, mostly doing game analysis on Fuji-TV's late-night "Pro Yakyu News."
A fun guy with an outgoing personality, Kato will be missed.
|* * * * *
Relief pitcher Shinya Okamoto has moved from the Chunichi Dragons to the Saitama Seibu Lions as compensation for the Lions having lost free agent outfielder Kazuhiro Wada, who signed with Chunichi.
Okamoto was the holds point leader for the Dragons in 2007, performing in a setup role for ace closer Hitoki Iwase.
He nailed 33 holds, a recently new baseball statistic created to recognize the efforts of middle relievers and setup men who "hold" a lead for their team over an inning or two, so a starter can get a victory and the closer a save.
Okamoto had a 5-2 won-lost record and a 2.89 ERA in 62 appearances, and several American and National League team scouts have said Okamoto, 33, could have major league value. For now, he's staying here with the Lions.
Obviously, Seibu needs all the help it can get, having been stung by the loss of No. 1 pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka this past season, and now the Lions have lost Wada, one of their big sluggers, and main power source Alex Cabrera, who has moved on to the Orix Buffaloes.
New Saitama manager Hisanobu Watanabe's club may not be that bad, however.
Veteran lefty and former major leaguer Kazuhisa Ishii has come over from the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, and the pitching staff has some great young arms with leader Hideki Wakui (17-10 with a 2.79 ERA in 2007) and sophomore Takayuki Kishi (11-7, 3.40), as well as veteran Fumiya Nishiguchi (9-11, 4.28).
Former New York Yankee Alex Graman, who saved 17 games after assuming the closer's role midway through the 2007 campaign, should be given the opportunity to keep that job again this season.
The main Japanese position players are shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima (12 homers, 74 RBIs and a .300 average), outfielder G.G. Sato (25, 69, .280) and second baseman Yasuyuki Kataoka (a Pacific League-leading 38 stolen bases).
That's assuming G.G. and the team can work out their arbitration and salary dispute. Bet they will.
Watanabe is also counting big time on first-year foreign players Craig Brazell, taking over for Cabrera at first base, and Hiram Bocachica, an outfielder who can also serve as DH.
Brazell has major league experience with the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals, and last year belted 39 homers and had 91 RBIS while hitting .315 in the minors, splitting the season between Omaha and Wichita. Bocachica played for four teams in 2007: the San Diego Padres, Oakland Athletics and their AAA affiliates at Portland and Sacramento, respectively.
He's also played in the majors with the Dodgers, Detroit and Seattle.
What I'm saying here is don't write off the Lions just because they finished fifth last year (their first time in the second division since 1981) and have lost several key players.
This team could be the surprise of 2008.
|* * * * *
Reader Sparky Patrick from Gunma Prefecture e-mailed to ask where Andy Sheets is going to play in 2008. The answer: nowhere.
Sheets has opted to retire at age 36 after a five-year Japan career and seven years in the majors prior to that. Andy played two seasons at shortstop for the Hiroshima Carp and three at first base and third base with the Hanshin Tigers.

I'm using a generated class as a model, and I wish to add DataAnnotation attributes to some of its properties. As it's a generated code, I don't want to add the annotations directly. Is there another way to attach them to a property?
I'd considered making the model an interface, and using a partial class to get the generated class to subscribe to it. Is there a less elaborate solution, assuming that would even work?
