First cycle, 50 mgs. I just bough my basal body temperature thermometer and a supply of Robitussin. Fingers crossed. We'd like to add a sibilng for our 2 year old. I have PCOS and irregular cycles that average 35-37 days; the last cycle was well over 40. It's always a guessing game.
Anyone else starting Clomid on 11/4?
Pierce: Maybe you released two eggs this month. I read somewhere that that's possible, especially with clomid. Are you temping? I also read that if you notice more than one dip, that could be a sign of releasing more than one egg.

TTC#2 since June 2011 w/ pcos *M/c 12-16-12 at 6 weeks
Telena- I think I've heard that too. I am getting this weird cramp, but not where my normal menstrual cramps are...TMI but my vagina is kinda having a throb that goes in and out every 2 minutes or so. I hope it stops soon. Its aggrevating. Ughh..

Does anyone have itchies because of CLomid. My belly is itching like crazy!!! I will add this to my side effect list. NEW...just one more thing. Good grief.
Grace & Hubby TTC #1
Tick tock, tick tock!!
I had actually told my boss because I had like 900appts in one wk so he knew something was up. I made my SO call him to tell him I misscarried because I couldn't do it. As hard as it was for him know he was also very understanding and told me to take a week off and let him know what I needed.
I will definitely be caustious telling ppl this time around! But it will be HARD.....how is it the most exciting time in your life is something you have to keep a secret for 3 months???
I've never experienced the loss of a miscarriage, but my MIL has been less than supportive with some snide remarks when I mentioned possibly using clomid in passing months ago (I had a surgical procedure and we live several hours away, so I wanted her to know I was going in the hospital in case anything happened). As a result, my husband and I definitely will keep any potential pregnancy quiet until we get past 12 weeks. It will be hard, because I know we will both be excited, but I really don't want the insensitivity that I experienced when she found out about our difficulty TTC.

This is a Japanese-specific way to express "serenity" or "tranquility."
Notes: The second Kanji is not a Chinese character - it was morphed or developed in Japan after Chinese characters were absorbed into the Japanese language during the 5th century.
The first character is slightly-simplified from the original Chinese form but still recognizable.
See Also: Peace
This is the simplest way to convey the meaning of inner peace and serenity.
This character is often translated as "serenity." It can also be used to express the ideas of still, calm, serene, quiet, silent, stillness, not moving or tranquility.
In the old days, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean people might hang a wall scroll with this character in their reading room to bring about a sense of peace in the room.
While they once used the same character form in Japan, they now use a slightly-simplified version in modern Japan (after WWII). This version is shown to the right, and can be selected for your wall scroll by clicking on that Kanji instead of the button above.
See Also: Peace
This word expresses the idea of tranquility and serenity in Chinese.
See Also: Peace | Inner Peace | Harmony | Calm
This is a kind of complex ten-character proverb composed by Zhuge Liang about 1800 years ago.
This Chinese proverb means "Leading a simple life will yield a clear mind, and having inner peace will help you see far (into the world)."
What I have translated as "simple life" means NOT being materialistic and NOT competing in the rat race.
The last word means "far" but the deeper meaning is that you will surpass what you can currently see or understand. Perhaps even the idea of opening up vast knowledge and understanding of complex ideas.
The whole phrase has a theme that suggests if you are NOT an aggressive cut-throat person who fights his way to the top no matter how many people he crushes on the way, and instead seek inner peace, you will have a happier existence and be more likely to understand the meaning of life.
This means, "life of serenity" in Japanese.
However, it can also have these meanings depending on how it's read: "composed and unhurried," "easygoing and leisurely," "in indolence," or "life of idleness."
These characters mean calm and cool-headed in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Other translations: calmness, composure, coolness, serenity, tranquility.
This is a good wall scroll for someone that wants to remind themselves to stay calm and level-headed.
See Also: Sober Calm
This Chinese and Japanese phrase is a direct translation for the western idea of inner peace.
The first two characters contain the idea of "heart," "innermost being," or "deep in the/your inner mind."
The last two characters mean "tranquil" and "serene."
I have seen this phrase used as "inner peace" for art prints and even on the side of coffee cups. But I think the translation is too literal. It feels like a direct translation from English rather than a nicely composed Chinese or Japanese phrase. See my other entries for "inner peace."
See Also: Simplicity | Peace
This is an ancient Chinese idiom which means "tranquility yields transcendence."
This suggests pursuing a quiet life of profound study.
The first two characters mean tranquility. The last two characters mean "go far" which suggests achieving much in your life or expanding beyond normal limits. The direct translation would read something like, "[With] tranquility [in your life, you'll] go far."
Compare this to the English idiom: Still waters run deep.
This is a nice word that encompasses great meanings within just two characters. This can be defined as relief, peace of mind, feeling at ease, to be relieved, set one's mind at rest. easiness. To put it another way, it's the idea of feeling a sense of security, safety, and confidence in your state of well-being.
This means "peace and tranquility" or "peace and security" in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
The literal translation would be "very balanced" or "very peaceful."
The first character means very, much, too much, or extremely.
The second character means balanced, peaceful, calm, equal, even, level, or smooth.
This means peace and/or tranquility in Japanese and Korean (also understood but not as common in Chinese).
This is a short Chinese phrase that means keep calm, don't get excited, and don't be impatient or hot-tempered.
These two characters represent the idea of being calm or cool in Chinese, Japanese Kanji and old Korean Hanja.
My Korean dictionary further defines this as quiet, calm, tranquility, pacification.
From my Japanese dictionary: calm, quiet, tranquility, appeasement, pacification.
Note: This term is also used in Korean Hanja but there is a slight deviation in the way they write the second character in Korean. Still, a Korean person who can read Hanja, will be able to read this word. We can write it in the Korean form if you wish (just let us know when you place your order). In Korean, this is the word you might use to tell someone to "calm down" or "take it easy."
This is a very old Japanese proverb. It suggests, "keeping calm and collected at times of disappointment," or "maintaining a serene state of mind when faced with adversity."
It's hard to relate individual character meanings into the overall meaning unless you also understand Japanese grammar. The word order is very different than English. That being said, here's the character meaning breakdown:
失 To miss, lose or fail.
意 Feelings, thoughts, meaning.
泰 Safe, peaceful.
然 Like that, in that way, however, although.
Using these definitions in English, we might say, "Although you may fail or lose, have a feeling of peace and calm."
These two characters mean calm and collected, or simply not nervous.
This character is used in a lot of compound words in the CJK world. Alone, this character has a broad span of possible meanings. These meanings include relaxed, quiet, rested, contented, calm, still, to pacify, peaceful, at peace, soothing or soothed.
This character and even the pronunciation was borrowed from Chinese and absorbed into both Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja. In all these languages, this character is pronounced like "an."
These two Chinese characters create a title that means to reach peace and calm through meditation. This is an excellent wall scroll for your relaxation or meditation room.
This is also a Buddhist-related term that encompasses the idea of entering into dhyana meditation.
This word means "safe and sound" in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Can also be translated as well-being, peace, tranquility, quietness, and calmness.
Note: There is also a longer four-character version in our calligraphy database.
See Also: Tranquility | Peace
This character means silent, solitary, quiet, calm, still, rest, or tranquil.
This also has a strong Buddhist association where it can mean "entering into Nirvana." In that context, this is sometimes used to refer to the passing of a Buddhist monk (he is silent, as he has entered Nirvana). For the living, this is about tranquility (especially of mind).
Some will also use this to mean "elegant simplicity."
From Sanskrit, this can represent praśama, vivikta, śānti, or nibbāna (nirvāṇa).
This word means: quiet; settled; maintain; calm and orderly; stability; equilibrium.
This is the Chinese and old Japanese word for calmness, stillness, and tranquility.
In Buddhist context, this can refer to the calmness of the heart, enlightenment, or the state of being calm and quiet - free from temptation and distress. Basically a state of earthly nirvāṇa.
Note: The second character is written just slightly differently in modern Japanese (静 instead of 靜). Expect a slight variation if you order this from the Japanese master calligrapher. The version shown here is considered the ancient Japanese and original Chinese form.
This is a Japanese proverb that means, "with an open and calm mind," "with no preconceived notions," or "without reservations." In some context it can mean frank or candid.
This is a nice word that means peaceful, tranquil, calm, composed, "free from worry," "public peace," tranquility, good health, well-being, or welfare in Chinese and Korean.
Note: The definition in Japanese is not so broad but still means peaceful or "public peace."

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

Golden Myanmar Airlines will launch its first international route this month with daily flights from Mandalay and Yangon to Singapore, and is eyeing flights to Bangkok, New Delhi and Hong Kong, the company's managing director says.
"We can confirm we'll fly the Singapore route … starting from April 5. This marks the first international air route by Golden Myanmar Airlines," said U Aung Gyi, who is also a shareholder in the airline.
As befitting its "low-cost carrier" status, Golden Myanmar Airlines is launching the route with bargain basement airfares: one well-known ticketing agent in Yangon said promotion fares between April 5-8 would be just US$45 one-way. Regular fares will be around $100 one-way, the airline says, about half of what other carriers on the route charge.

The best product one can have in this price rangeI bought this product some 4 years back (not from Flipkart) when I was in college and since then the product has not given me a single trouble. Currently I have a device of Sony and another from JBL. They are obviously better. But when I compare the price, this product is simply the best.I will point out some of the important aspects of this product.

Great Product..But no use for warranty as Creative has no proper customer service in India...I bought this for 950 Rs about 8 months back...Love it...Good for small rooms...Only issue i had with it was that the transformer blew inside the woofer during a really bad voltage fluctuation...but a lotta electronics in our area was affected in that fluctuation...including a 7000Rs speaker system...so cant blame that on the speaker...but my issue was that when I tried contacting the Creative people for repair cuz i had warranty, I discovered that both the local and national Customer Care numbers given on various sites were no longer in service...and it cost me more than half the price of the… (Expand)

Creative SBS A120I always wanted a good set of speakers for my comp and after a short survey I ordered the Creative SBS A120 . I found it cheaper here then in the market and thought that I will buy some expensive and better 1 later. But wen I received the delivery and started using, I found the external volume control system very convenient and now I literally don't have any plans for buying any speakers . Well , its really loud and clear and serves the cause more then what i expected .And yeah the delivery was just on time as all the other products I purchased.

Way Better Than I Imagined It Would Be!!!In a word...this speaker is BRILLIANT...never even thought that it would be this good. The speakers look good, small but they pack a pretty punch.Good amount of bass, so you won't miss the bass controller. And good response to both the ends. Keep the satellites at least a meter apart pointing at you to experience the actual stereo effect.

Why does Drudge get brought up here at least twice a day?
@1, Because, like him or not, the site is an important aspect of the overall media picture. And since Eli is charged with reporting the story, he's likely to visit numerous sources, one of which would be the Drudge Report.
Why would it not be brought up twice a day, particularly in campaign coverage? Are we supposed to only quote HuffPo and pretend Drudge doesn't exist?
Why is it that Barack is not considering any African-Americans for Veep?
If Obama's VP pick is not someone that voters can say "Oh yeah, that's a good choice - it will add gavitas" and is somone relatively unknown like Chet Edwards, then Obama is really pushing his luck.
Does anyone else think it might have been wiser for Obama to have announced this earlier in the week...
Dear Barack:
Ok, now you're just being a dick.
This better be a damn good VP choice.
And there damn well better be punch and pie.
- Me
PS: Really good damn pie, too. None of that store-bought shit.
@2, is Drudge still really a significant part of the media picture in 2008? I concede that he was a decade ago, if only for leaking the spiked Newsweek investigation.
In the past few hours, we have two Slog posts linking to Drudge - one to report his completely wrong horseshit story about the bumper sticker, and one to say that Drudge noticed a story on MSNBC. What value was added to "the media picture" by Drudge in that equation?
Also, factor in that Matt Drudge remains a sad, closeted shithead.
Does anyone else think it might have been wiser for Obama to have announced this earlier in the week...
Totally, unless they are up to something. However, it seems to me that Obama has had days of prime media coverage just THINKING about a VP.
I think there's some logic to holding off until after the Friday news dump to make the V.P. announcement.
For one thing, it will provide a very strong lead-in to next week's Democratic Convention, which will in turn push out pretty much any other story - barring some horrible natural catastrophe, or, shrub declaring war on Russia - so, McSame and his cronies in the GOP are going to be spending the week sitting on their hands AFTER having had a pretty dismal week this past week with the whole "how many houses" fiasco.
That makes for two solid weeks of Dems dominating the news cycle going into the GOP Convention starting on the 1st. Clearly, they know they can't dominate the news that week, but they'll have enough momentum going into it, including, presumably, a decent post-convention "bounce" in the polls, that they'll be able to marginalize, or possibly even negate, any post-convention bounce the GOP might be expecting.
That, in my mind, sounds like a pretty good strategy.
@7, Drudge is one of the most efficient aggregators of "buzz" and real stories available. I think the Republicans will leverage him for all he's worth so, yeah, that makes him important. Take it all with a grain of salt, but there it is.
I'm not too tweaked by references to Drudge or even stories that turn out to be wrong. This is a blog -- it survives by being constantly updated. And sometimes that means less-than-Pulitzer quality work, or stories later proven incorrect.
No. The McCain houses story has been of more benefit to Obama than announcing his VP would have been. Plus, he can announce tomorrow and be the headline on Sunday and the topic of discussion on the Sunday talk shows. Saturday is perfect.
I'm with lorax @11.
I for one - I am losing interest.
Every time I think I have it all figured out, I realize I have no fucking clue who it will be. That said, I hope it's Biden.
I'm betting that it's gonna be someone huge. Kerry or Hillary or Gore. If they made me check my phone every ten minutes since Wednesday morning, it's gonna be a huge disappointment to wake up to Bill Richardson's beard. I'm hoping for a big veep, coupled with a huge policy agenda. My money's on Billary.
As NPR pointed out, if Obama had announced his VP pick earlier, he'd have gotten maybe two days of coverage before the attacks and negativity began. This way, he's gotten over a week of media speculation, and he'll be riding the tide of his announcement right into the convention.
Jack Reed, yo. It's going to be Jack Reed.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be another Geraldo in Capone's vault. That said, I think it will be something big for the cover of every Sunday paper. Obama/Clinton Dream Ticket or Gore Strikes Back with Obama
I has to be big. Otherwise people will be pissed if it's a nobody they might have gotten all worked up over. Personally I think it's Hillary or Biden.
Expect the text message to wake us all at 3am (Chicago time), finally settling the issue of whether Barry can "take the call" at that time of the morning.
And it will probably tell us it's Clinton or Clark. Ya know the designers are just dying to market them as "The O-C"
Let's see, you make an announcement Saturday morning in time for the Sunday newspaper and Sunday political talkshows. And this, you wonder, is unwise? Why???
As of 9pm the Secret Service was dispatched to Joe Biden's house.
As of 9pm the Secret Service was dispatched to Joe Biden's house.
MSNBC just announced it is Biden. Obama-Biden 2008!!!!!
@6, I would settle for mediocre pie.
Uh, so much for being the first to know! This text message BS was just hype. I'm fairly pissed, having spent the last 2 days obsessively checking my cellphone.

A short while ago I was manually editing a group of just under one hundred blog entries on my WordPress blog, by adding a stylized horizontal rule to all of the posts.
About two thirds the way through the job, after hitting the update button on the post page, I was suddenly presented with the following error. I've removed the exact URL's for obvious reasons:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException' with message 'Expected response code 200, got 400 Blog has exceeded rate limit or otherwise requires word verification for new posts' in /path-to-php/lib/php/Zend/Gdata/App.php:709 Stack trace: #0 /path-to-php/lib/php/Zend/Gdata.php(219): Zend_Gdata_App->performHttpRequest('POST', 'http://www.blog...', Array, '<atom:entry xml...', 'application/ato...', NULL) #1 /path-to-php/lib/php/Zend/Gdata/App.php(900): Zend_Gdata->performHttpRequest('POST', 'http://www.blog...', Array, '<atom:entry xml...', 'application/ato...') #2 /path-to-php/lib/php/Zend/Gdata/App.php(975): Zend_Gdata_App->post(Object(Zend_Gdata_Entry), 'http://www.blog...', NULL, NULL, Array) #3 /path-to-blog/Blog/wp-content/plugins/gdatablogger.php(128): Zend_Gdata_App->insertEntry(Object(Zend_Gdata_Entry), 'http://www.blog...') #4 /path-to-blog/Blog/wp-content/plugins/gdatablogger.php(81): gdata->gdatacreatePost(' in /path-to-php/lib/php/Zend/Gdata/App.php on line 709
I am not a PHP guru, and I have absolutely no idea what this means, or what I need to do in order to fix it. It just suddenly happened out of the blue.
I tried editing the same post several times, and kept getting the very same error message upon hitting the update button.
After that, I tried two other posts, and the very same thing occurred.
Thinking that it might just be a temporary freakish occurrence, I shut down the server and rebooted the machine that it is hosted on. I also shut down Firefox 4.0 and rebooted it as well.
Despite the above actions, the very same problem continues to occur.
In fact, when I tried to make a new post, the very same error message appeared as well.
I assumed that as a result of this error, the changes were not being saved, and the new post was not being posted.
However, to my surprise, I just discovered that the changes were being saved, and the new blog entry was posted as well.
Obviously, I cannot keep operating with this error message occurring; so if someone more knowledgeable than myself can inform me what this error means, and what I must do in order to correct it, I would be most appreciative.
I am running WP 3.1.1 under Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 on an old Macintosh G4 mini-tower.
Thanks in advance.

Advice From Ex-Cons To a Jet-Set Jailbird: Best Walk on Eggs
By WARREN ST. JOHN
Published: July 13, 2003
RAYMOND CARTER'S release from prison followed a familiarly bleak script. After two years at the Wyoming Correctional Facility in upstate New York for sale of a controlled substance, he was granted his freedom on June 23, and given back his personal belongings -- a Social Security card and some medication -- then handed 40 bucks and a one-way bus ticket to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. He had a little time, so he savored a quiet meal at McDonald's. A few hours later he was jostling through the bustle of New York City and the crowds of Midtown. Though uncertain about his job prospects and his future, he was elated. ''You wanted to scream, 'I'm free!' '' he said.
A. Alfred Taubman's reintroduction to society went down a little differently. After serving nine-and-a-half months of a year-and-a-day sentence for price-fixing, Mr. Taubman, the former chairman of Sotheby's, learned on June 13 at a halfway house in Detroit that he was a free man. Mr. Taubman's first move was to order his chauffeur to pick him up posthaste. After a quiet night at home in nearby Bloomfield Hills, Mich., with his wife, Judy, amid their collection of Jackson Pollocks and Kandinskys, Mr. Taubman, boarded his Gulfstream IV and headed straight for his sprawling oceanfront estate in the Hamptons. By evening, he was savoring a meal at Mirko's, an intimate restaurant in Water Mill, at the best table in the house.
The rich -- even those convicted of felonies -- are different. And with so many prominent wealthy executives facing jail time, Mr. Taubman's situation may stand as a kind of test case for the etiquette of re-entry. What, after all, is the right way to get out of jail? Do you lie low and affect a humbled air, or do you embrace life and all its pleasures with the sort of renewed appreciation that only incarceration can bring? And what sort of reception should a prominent ex-offender expect -- suspicious glances and a social chill, or a glut of invitations from the sympathetic or just morbidly curious?
By all accounts, Mr. Taubman is having a fairly easy go of it, and at least on the surface, his old life would seem largely intact. As the controlling shareholder of both Sotheby's and Taubman Centers, the billion-dollar shopping mall empire he founded in 1950, his fortune is still intact. With a luxurious Fifth Avenue apartment and homes in Palm Beach, London, Michigan, Southampton and Gstaad, housing isn't a problem. Neither is golf; Mr. Taubman retained his membership in the National Golf Links of America, the prestigious club in Southampton, and has spent some time on the course since his release.
During his first couple of weeks of freedom, Mr. Taubman, some 30 pounds lighter from his jailhouse diet, gave small dinners at his estate in Southampton, friends say. And over the July 4 weekend, he made a debut of sorts at the annual party given by Lally Weymouth, where guests, including Michael Eisner, Barry Diller and Peter Jennings, roamed the lawn. Partygoers say Mr. Taubman, trim and improbably tan, arrived early and received a hero's welcome, with a steady offering of hugs and back slaps from his old cronies. Two days later, he attended the opening of the eBay show house, a interior design event featuring work by his stepdaughter, Tiffany Dubin, at an East Side town house.
''There seems to be this real good will for him,'' one guest said. ''People feel like, 'Hey, he served his debt to society. He didn't complain.' And then there's the fact that he comes back all new and improved.''
Christopher Mason, whose book on the Sotheby's-Christie's scandal, ''When the Gavel Falls'' is to be published by G. P. Putnam's Sons next spring, and who has been tracking Mr. Taubman with the zeal of a parole officer, said that while under house arrest, Mr. Taubman had ''expressed concern about whether he would be accepted upon his return to civilian life.''
According to Mr. Mason, ''He's been finding a fairly overwhelming welcome. Behind his bravado, there's a vulnerability that people who know him are attuned to, and they're going out of their way to try and make him feel welcome.''
Mr. Taubman may be helped in part by his age -- he's 79 -- his years of philanthropy and by the belief of his supporters that as the only member of the price-fixing scheme to get prison time, he got a bad deal. (Diana D. Brooks, who testified against Mr. Taubman was given six months of house arrest in her Upper East Side apartment.) Then there's the fact that Mr. Taubman inhabits a tier of society that is oddly forgiving of the misdeeds of its members -- consider Michael Milken -- and in some cases even celebrates roguishness. When the socialite Taki Theodoracopoulos returned from prison after serving time for cocaine possession in the mid-'80s, he was feted in Gstaad by his friend William F. Buckley Jr.
Jane Stanton Hitchcock, a socialite and writer whose latest novel, ''Social Crimes'' (Miramax), plunders the world of New York society, said that the super-rich are sanguine about their indicted friends. ''It's a matter of rolling the dice for who gets caught and who doesn't in the world of big money,'' she said. ''If you look at the people who have fallen from grace since the 80's, they go down like bowling pins. In that section of society, people have to be more loyal to each other because there aren't that many who can play that game.''
Some white-collar ex-offenders say Mr. Taubman's experience of gliding back into the old routines is hardly typical, and may even be illusory.

Huston Street was given a second chance at closing when he was traded to the Colorado Rockies in the offseason, and he earned it after getting off to a rough start this spring.
The right-hander was demoted from his closer role last season and finished 7-5 with a 3.73 ERA and 18 saves in 25 chances. He used that lack of success as motivation.
In other news:
* The Cincinnati Reds have an interest in free agent Gary Sheffield, but only if he'll accept a limited role. Sheffield could pinch-hit and be a fill-in at first base and in the outfield with Cincinnati.
* Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki was sidelined for the third straight day with fatigue and was examined by a doctor.
* At Sarasota, fans booed the mayor before Cincinnati's final spring training game in Florida. Only 2,935 fans showed up for the last game, less than half the capacity of Ed Smith Stadium.
Pirates (ss) 6, Reds 5
At Sarasota, Fla., Reds starter Edinson Volquez failed to make it out of the fourth inning with a sloppy performance -- five hits, three walks, three runs.
Cardinals 6, Marlins 3
At Jupiter, Florida Marlins right-hander Josh Johnson finished his first healthy spring in three years with a strong start. Johnson allowed a run and five hits in four innings to finish with a 3.23 ERA in seven Grapefruit League games -- six starts.
Mets 9, Orioles 8
At Port St. Lucie, Ramon Castro's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning completed a comeback from an eight-run deficit.
Braves 2, Astros 1
At Kissimmee, Chipper Jones, who's been bothered by an oblique muscle injury, went 2-for-2 for Atlanta.
Nationals 12, Phillies 10
At Clearwater, Washington's Ryan Zimmerman hit two home runs off Jamie Moyer, and Philadelphia's Ryan Howard hit his 10th longball of spring training.
The 46-year-old Moyer gave up 11 hits and nine runs in four innings.
Tigers 8, Blue Jays 5
Lakeland, Fla., Brandon Inge hit his fifth homer of the spring and had three RBIs for Detroit. Carlos Guillen and Cabrera each had two RBIs.
Cubs 9, Indians 8
At Mesa, Ariz., Cubs starting pitcher Ryan Dempster gave up five hits and three runs while walking none and striking out seven. He yielded homers to Shin-Soo Choo in the first inning and pinch-hitter Andy Marte in the second.
Twins 7, Red Sox 3
At Fort Myers, Fla., Brad Penny made his last audition for a spot in Boston' rotation, giving up three runs and five hits in five innings.
Francisco Liriano learned before the game he will start opening day for the Twins against the Seattle Mariners, after Scott Baker was placed on the 15-day disabled list with stiffness in his shoulder. Liriano struck out three and walked one in an abbreviated outing, because he'll pitch in the opener on three days' rest.
Mariners 18, Padres 3
At Peoria, Ariz., San Diego's Chris Young labored through 3 2-3 innings, allowing nine runs on nine hits and four walks.
Brewers 2, White Sox 1
At Phoenix, Jeff Suppan scattered three hits and allowed one run over five innings. After the game, Brewers manager Ken Macha made official what has been assumed all spring -- that Suppan will start Milwaukee's opener Tuesday in San Francisco.
Rangers 9, Royals 3
At Surprise, Ariz., Scott Feldman allowed a run and three hits in his sixth spring training start.
Horacio Ramirez, who will be the Royals' No. 5 starter, gave up six runs on nine hits, including a three-run homer to Adam Fox in the fifth. He has a 9.00 ERA in seven exhibition games.

Once you are used to the small 1911, the USP will feel rather thick and blocky, with a different balance. I prefer the small 1911 to the USP because of its thin profile and better trigger.

Do you have tips for creating an area rug using carpet tiles? Can I do this without permanently attaching it to my floor? I want a custom size area rug for a living room.
Our Milliken Legato Touch tiles feature a sticky back that allows these tiles to be used as permanent flooring or as a custom area rug. The tiles can be easily removed and replaced and will not leave any glue or residue on your existing floor.
I am interested in creating a custom runner by the doorway. I have a parquet wood floor. Will the adhesive hold up on the wood floor? Will it a permanent mark on the floor?
Our Miliken Legato Touch tiles are great as a custom runner by doorways. These tiles feature a Tractionbac that will stick strongly to your wood floor, but will not leave a residue when then the tiles are removed.

Released: Jul 01st, 2005
Running Time: 139
Director: Thor Stephans
Company: All Worlds Video
Cast: Park Wiley, Jonathan West, Justin Dragon, Kyle Lewis, Chad Farrell, Dillon Press, Anthony Shaw, Cameron Fox, Jason Crew, Justin Wells
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Stock with New Releases.
It's too bad that most of the jokes fall flat in this behind-the-scenes sex comedy about an ill-fated porn shoot (the best laughs come from scenery chewing drag queen Lana Luster, as a predatress who salivates over straight hunks Jonathan West and Stetson Gable), because the action included is mostly terrific. It doesn't help that the production runs long, mostly because of material that could have been easily edited out with no loss to the plot. Delectable Jonathan West, once again, only allows his dick to be sucked-sinewy Kyle Lewis does the honors, blowing West and Stetson in tandem. Former Falcon exclusive Justin Dragon steps in to fuck Lewis at the end of the scene while West and Stetson watch and jerk off. Oddly, the best sex scene in the entire production-Anthony Shaw bottoming for Jason Crew and Justin Wells-doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the plot at all. (Superhung Crew also performs an amazing scene where he fucks himself with his own cock.) Finally, since he feels so left out, here's to makeup artist Rock Rounee, who deftly touches up face-cheeks and butt-cheeks, and it's all in a day's work.

Stories of ultra-rare muscle cars sitting in barns are truly the car person's equivalent of "the fish that got away". A few years, a hazy memory or just a desire for a good story have all too often put a Hemi under the hood of a dusty small block Barracuda or turned an average rot box Camaro into a ZL1.
While there is no shortage of Moskvich/IZh 412s floating around in Russia, one of these compact sedans are an unthinkably rare sight in the US. The seller of this 412 claims it is the only privately owned example of the vehicle in the entire country—a wild claim which we completely believe.
A Brazilian can be a resident of that South American country, a nut, or maybe a painful bikini wax. It's also the nationality of today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe VW, but is its price carnival-worthy?

The music stuck in my head.
Jim Dickinson was a musician, producer, and writer based in Memphis. A lifelong curator and steward of American music until his death in 2009, he fronted the band Mud Boy & the Neutrons and contributed to albums by Sleepy John Estes, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Albert King, Big Star, the Replacements, and many others. [This] essay...was adapted from his memoir The Search for Blind Lemon. [more inside]
Jerry Lee Lewis: still alive and making music, at 79
The Killer at Peace: Jerry Lee Lewis's Golden Years
In the living room, directly above Lewis' chair, is a framed photo from the day in December 1956 when Lewis, Cash, Carl Perkins and Presley – a.k.a. "the Million-Dollar Quartet" – hung out and recorded at Sun. Elvis is at the piano, looking upward, eyes fixed on Lewis. Above the bar is a photo from the sessions for the Class of '55 LP, a 1985 reunion of Lewis, Perkins, Cash and Roy Orbison. "All of them, really good friends," he says quietly. "All gone." Lewis took his survival as a point of pride by naming his 2006 comeback LP Last Man Standing. "A lot of people didn't like it when I said that. But they had to accept it."Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive and rocking, having just released his third album in the 2000s, titled Rock & Roll Time, though his most raucous days are behind him.
Blue Suede Jew?
In Memphis in the early 1950s, young Elvis Presley would sometimes help out the upstairs neighbors, Rabbi Fruchter and his family, by acting as a "Shabbos goy," -- that is, by doing tasks that Jews may not do on the Sabbath. (The rabbi's son Harold, then a toddler, recalls the arrangement in an audio interview.) Yet Elvis knew he had some Jewish forebears. Tablet Magazine notes that his "great great maternal grandmother was Jewish and had a daughter who had a daughter who had a daughter that was Elvis's mother." Though he embraced Christianity, he often used to wear a Chai necklace (sometimes paired with a cross), saying "I don't want to miss out on going to heaven on a technicality." In that spirit, a Hasidic Elvis impersonator named Dan Hartal, aka "Schmelvis," recently recited Kaddish at Graceland and traveled to Israel to plant a tree in Elvis's memory.
Recreating everything in Sun Records sound
Studio engineer Matt Ross-Spang wasn't even born when most of Sun's most famous records were cut. Nonetheless, he's thought a lot about what makes them sound the way they do (transcript). Matt has been buying up old gear for a few years, returning the Sun Records studio to a vintage state (with a few exceptions), and he is still practicing "sonic archaeology," trying to figure out how Sam Phillips made records sound like Sun Records. There's more to it than the Sun tape echo. [more inside]
What in the hell is country funk? Here are 33 tracks for reference
Here's a song I didn't know existed until summer 2007, when Lemon Jelly's Fred Deakin released an impeccably curated three-CD mix (full 4 hours on Mixcloud). Halfway through the first disc, the music slipped into an easy, loping groove, sunburned and hungover, and a regretful voice offered Otis Blackwell's lonesome lyric: "You know I can be found/ Sitting home all alone …" [Billy Swan's version of "Don't Be Cruel" is] a beautiful record, though, and utterly different from Elvis's 1956 recording. And it opens a fantastic collection of country funk songs, collected and remastered by Zach Cowie of Light in the Attic Records. More sounds below the break. [more inside]

"the correlation between country music and political backwardness"?
One Nation Under Elvis
My own conversion to country music came all of a sudden in 1990, around another campfire, also in Nevada. The great Western Shoshone anti-nuclear and land-rights activist Bill Rosse, a decorated World War II vet and former farm manager, unpacked his guitar and sang Hank Williams and traditional songs for hours. I was enchanted as much by the irreverent rancor of some of the songs as by the pure blue yearning of others. I'd had no idea such coolness, wit, and poetry was lurking in this stuff I was taught to scorn before I'd met it.[more inside]
put on a shirt his mother made, and went on the air
Well, bust my britches, here it is January 8, Elvis Presley's birthday! Now, a mere 20 days after the young rock crooner had celebrated his 21st, back in 1956, he stepped onto the stage at CBS Studio in New York City and made his US national television debut, on the Dorsey Brothers show. Seems he was hot property from the get-go, cause he was back on that stage, straightaway, for five more appearances, on February 4th, 11th and 18th, then again on March 17th and 24th. And, yeah, heck, he was pretty good.
It Happened at the World's Fair
Century 21 Calling - Dreamily retro footage of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, AKA the Century 21 Exposition, including a visit to the Bell Systems pavilion. A slice of space age science propaganda, the fair gave Seattle some of its most enduring landmarks in the form of the Space Needle and the Alweg Monorail, and, of course, brought Elvis to town.
But I really don't want to know
How many arms have held you, and hated to let you go, how many, how many, I wonder, but I really don't want to know.
Two American icons meeting for the first time onstage
"The most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear," Frank Sinatra wrote of rock 'n' roll during the time of Elvis Presley. But Frank wasn't stupid... he knew his relevance was fading and if you can't beat 'em, you have to join 'em. So in 1960, Elvis Presley was welcomed home from his two year military tour by the Frank Sinatra Timex Show "Welcome Home Elvis" special. Later Sinatra said, "I'm just a singer. Elvis was the embodiment of the whole American culture."
Fifty years in the jailhouse.
Fifty years ago today Elvis Presley recorded what would prove to be one of the iconic standards of the rock'n'roll canon, Leiber and Stoller's Jailhouse Rock. The song's sly allusions ("number 47 said to number three, you're the cutest jailbird I ever did see") to same-sex prison liaisons went unnoticed (or at least uncommented on) at the time, and it stayed a US #1 radio hit for 7 weeks straight. The unisex production number [youtube] from the movie of the same name has come to be recognized as one of the grandfathers of the pop/rock video. A black-leather-clad, still-svelte Presley performed the song on his 1968 [youtube] "comeback" TV special, and was singing it (slurred delivery, sequins and all) right up into 1977 [youtube], the year of his death. In 1980 John Belushi and company turned in a fine version [youtube] as the closer to the Blues Brothers movie, and the song was a regular feature of their live [youtube] shows as well. Happy 50th birthday, Jailhouse Rock!
Are You Jewish Tonight?
Elvis: King of the Rock 'n' Roll Jews? Unlike George Allen, Elvis proudly embraced his Jewish heritage. Through his mother's side of the family, Elvis could trace his lineage back to his Jewish great-grandmother, Martha Tackett, which makes Elvis Jewish by matrilineal descent. A former shabbos goy who did chores on the Sabbath for a rabbi in Memphis, Elvis had his biggest-selling success with a #1 hit by a Jewish songwriting team. Known to wear a Hebrew Chai pendant and to donate to Jewish charities in Memphis, Elvis also put the Star of David on his Mom's gravestone.
Elvis Is Everywhere
The Afghan Elvis (with YouTube clip), the Soviet Elvis (played by Tom Hanks), the French Elvis (now seeking Belgian citizenship), the Mexican Elvis, the Swedish Elvis, the Filipino Elvis, the Chinese Elvis, the Sikh Elvis, the Japanese Elvis who became a Prime Minister, and other foreign Elvii.

Money, Honey
If you've been paying attention, then you're probably aware that Clear Channel own your favorite (or least favorite) radio station, your local concert venues, the promoter who organizes shows for them, the billboards that advertise the show, and the company you bought the tickets from. And now they own your favorite dead rock star. SFX Entertainment, a promoter owned by Clear Channel, has bought an 85% share of Elvis Presley's estate and name from Lisa Marie Presley. That includes Graceland. Wow, do they ever suck. (Salon agrees.)
I wish Elvis had lived long enough to record La Vida Loca... but since he did not, I have to content myself with "Kingtinued", a CD of modern, largely A.E.D. (After Elvis' Death) tunes recorded in the style of the large one. Only the highest quality material was selected for the CD, to be sure.
The King Meets Tricky Dick
Since it's Elvis Presley's 68th birthday today and Richard Nixon's 90th birthday tomorrow, it's only natural to herald the December 21, 1970 meeting that has inspired a novel, a Showtime made-for-cable movie, musical novelties, and a mini-memoir from a Nixon staffer. The National Archives has received so many requests for photos of Elvis shaking hands with Nixon that they posted this online exhibit.
Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me …
Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me … "Media arrogance and dishonesty means we are eternally bound to live in a skewed world where Elvis is king of rock'n'roll, Clapton is the guitar god, Sinatra is the voice and Astaire is the greatest dancer." Is it right to celebrate an artist who's fame derived from appropriating and diluting the original music of black America?
Is The King Finally Dead, After 25 Years?
Is The King Finally Dead, After 25 Years? Elvis Presley died on 16 August 1977 and, silly season or not, The Observer, kicking off with Nik Cohn's above-linked essay, has assembled a cracking collection of articles, interviews and humorous pieces about the controversial crooner, mainly directed (I'd say) at non-fans. To my mind, the most enjoyable are Nigel Slater's brave attempt to make the famous Presley sandwich; the weird interview with Larry Geller, his hairdresser and spiritual advisor; the account of Elvis's only (secret) visit to Britain; Michael Odell's funny set of instructions on how not to behave at an Elvis party; an interview with George Nichopoulos, the doctor who wrote out more than 10,000 prescriptions for him; a round-up of ludicrous ex-girlfriends' memories and, as an after-thought, a collector's report on locating that legendary first "Uh-huh" of his. It's all good stuff but one has to ask whether, in this day and age, it isn't, er, overkill. Is Elvis Presley still that relevant or is he slowly becoming a figure of fun? Whether or not he's actually dead, of course, is entirely another matter...

Lira Rises to Month High After Basci Rules Out Extreme Measures
The lira gained to its strongest in more than a month after central bank Governor Erdem Basci said price stability is a "priority" and "extreme measures" are not required to curb currency gains.
The currency appreciated 0.4 percent against the dollar to 1.7824 by 6:15 p.m. in Istanbul, the strongest level since Nov. 6. Yields on two-year benchmark debt rose 1 basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 5.76 percent, rising for the first time in four days.
A "measured" cut in interest rates will be "sufficient" to counter lira appreciation, Basci said in a televised conference in southern Turkish city of Antalya today. Economic growth does not get priority in the central bank's decision-making process as inflation remains above target, Basci said. The bank has cut the average cost of funding for Turkish lenders to 5.6 percent as of Dec. 10, from 11.93 percent on Jan. 6.
"A rate cut would be symbolic to address worries of politicians and send the message to markets that the central bank is putting a line in the sand on any lira appreciation," Simon Quijano Evans, ING Groep NV's London-based head of emerging-market research for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said in an e-mailed comments today.
Basci said on Nov. 12 he won't tolerate any unwarranted currency gain jeopardizing the country's external balances. Fitch Ratings raised Turkey's credit rating to investment grade on Nov. 5.
Rate Cut
The lira has lagged all emerging-market currencies in Europe, Africa and the Middle East over a month as the Turkish central bank signaled it may cut interest rates further after lowering the top-end of its so-called interest-rate corridor by 50 basis points to 9 percent on Nov. 20.
The bank kept the overnight borrowing rate steady at 5 percent and the benchmark interest rates unchanged at 5.75 percent last month. The rate-setting panel will meet on Dec. 18.
Turkey's current-account deficit narrowed to $2 billion from $4.5 billion a year earlier, the central bank in Ankara said on its website today. It was forecast at $2 billion according to the median estimate of 11 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

A cartoon that shows Clemenceau, the French Prime minister feeding on a woman who represents Germany. This was done by a German artist after the Treaty Of Versailles and shows the way Germans felt about the Treaty.
Interestingly, in the bottom right corner of the picture, it appears as though there is a cross by Germany's bedside. As a cross is a weapon believed to fight against vampires, the artist may be signalling his/her belief that Germany could still fight against France (as many Germans did at the time)

World Briefing | Asia: East Timor: Nobel-Winning Bishop Steps Down
Published: November 27, 2002
Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and a symbol of resistance during the years of Indonesian occupation before East Timor's independence this year, has resigned because of health reasons, he said in a statement. A Vatican spokesman said that Pope John Paul II had accepted the resignation. Bishop Belo and José Ramos-Horta, now the foreign minister, received the peace prize in 1996 for their struggle for the territory's independence.

I downloaded centos from their official bittorrent.It contained two iso files and md5sum.txt,sha1sum.txt and sha256sum.txt and also md5sum.txt.asc,sha1sum.txt.asc and sha256sum.txt.asc.
Now when I mount iso file to virtual drive there is no autoplay option.Can you tell me how to install it.I dont see any setup file?
CentOS does not ship with a Windows installer. The easiest method is to burn the ISO to a CD/DVD (depending on the image you downloaded) and boot from that. ImgBurn can help you with the burning process, simply select "Write image file to disc".
If you just want to test out CentOS, you may prefer VirtualBox. You can install CentOS from inside windows to a virtual disk file and run it inside it's own window. It will not run as fast as a bare metal install, but it will give you a good feel of the CentOS environment.
Isn't your download a CD or DVD iso image that you have to burn to a bootable CD or DVD and boot from it to install?
I recommend you to use the VirtualBox solution already suggested by John T. It seems closer to your experience and it's a good way to test Linux.
Good luck.
