Many city goers are under the impression that standup paddle boarding depicts an incredibly calm, slowed down lifestyle, which does not seem fathomable in the hustle and bustle of urban areas.

|Easy grilled chicken with a delicious Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce.
Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic puree, poultry seasoning, and olive oil.
Grilled Garlic Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce
(Makes 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn to go with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce.)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 T garlic puree (or minced fresh garlic)
1 tsp. dried poultry seasoning
4 T olive oil
Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce
Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, poultry seasoning, and olive oil. Put chicken in a Ziploc bag or plastic container with a tight lid that's big enough to hold chicken in a single layer. Put chicken into bag or container, pour in marinade, seal it, and turn over a few times so the marinade is coating all the chicken. Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, or up to 24 hours if you need to start the marinating ahead.
When ready to cook, remove chicken from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Oil the grill grates or grill pan with olive oil or non-stick spray. Preheat the gas or charcoal grill or stove-top grill pan to medium-high. (You can only hold your hand there for a few seconds at that heat.)
Cook chicken about 4-5 minutes on first side (you can rotate it halfway through if you want grill marks, but I didn't bother since I was serving the chicken with the sauce over it.) Turn chicken and cook 4-5 minutes more on the second side, or until chicken is firm and lightly browned. Serve hot, with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli Sauce.
South Beach Suggestions:
This chicken served with a few tablespoons of sauce would be a great main dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet, or any type of low-glycemic eating plan.

Thank You, Art!!!!
I know you have a thankless task dealing with these topics, a job I for one would not want for all the money in the world. We've seen a quite wild and wooly political campaign, with anything goes it seems in comments from both sides. I freely admit I've posted replies here more out of anger than I'd usually do on a public venue. Thank you for cleaning the most vile and insulting comments through it all. I for one appreciate your patience through it all. Perhaps now that it's over, we can start again with a clean slate? That those who post here can do so in a manner that we'd use if we were having the same discussion in front of our mother? I for one pray that is possible. I pledge to try and stay on the "high road." How about it people, can we all do the same?

Just wanted to share this with you guys this is really good.
Introduction: Mental preparation for the game can make th difference.
1. Bad Attitude - the "Invisible Blocker"
A. FT Shooter - How many can you make out of 10? Probably 7 or 8, right?
B. "Bad Attitude" (Blocker) - step up to block his FT. Now how many out of 10 can you make?
C. Frustration and bad attitudes will affect your shot. If you think you're going to miss the shot, odds are good that you will.
2. Game on! - Don't react to things that go wrong.
A. Is it better to be down by 2 or 4? A missed lay-up can turn into a 4-point swing if you let your emotions get in the way of playing the game.
B. When you get upset about the lack of a call, you take yourself out of the next play that is taking place, thus giving your opponent a scoring opportunity. If you have seen the movie More Than A Game, you will knoq what I'm talking about.
C. When you get frustrated with yourself for missing the shot, you take your focus away from what is happening. This also gives your opponent a scoring opportunity.
3. Team Players - Everyone contributes
A. Flash back to Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, Lakers and Celtics. Sasha Vujacic of the Lakers started only 1 game in 2010 and averaged only 8.6 minutes a game. But with a couple of minutes left in Game 7, Phil Jackson put Sasha in because Phil had faith that he could make free throws, and he did. Those free throws swung the momentum of the game and there quite possibly could have been a different result if he missed those free throws.
B. You are a team and everyone contributes! That's why they're on the team!
C. Support and encourage your teammates!
4. Take practice seriously - "practice how you play"
A. Reacting to bad calls or your missed shot is a habit. You need to practice your mental state to break that habit.
B. It is just as important to practice your attitude as it is to practice your jump shot. The points you make by being mentally prepared may just be the game winner.
Conclusion: Summer is a time where we should not only work on our strength, conditioning, and basketball skills, but also out mental strength and toughness. A book I highly recommend for you all to read is Mind Gym. As summer comes to a close, focus extra hard on being mentally strong.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- Kevin Durant
Man, this is great. I can really used this, because I'd had problems like this in the past. I remembered that time when Phil Jackson had put in Sasha to knock down those free throws. Also More Than A Game was a great sports documentary. It is really inspiring. Thank you for posting this it has helped my game a lot.
Thanks man I can really use this!
Thanks. I'm working on another one I should have it up in a few days.

This is great. I'm trying to add books to my basketball book lists and I'll add Mind Gym. Thanks.
Mind Gym is a really great book. It doesn't just talk about basketball, so if you play other sports to you can relate to it.
On Monday I was really struggling at basketball practice and I read a couple chapters of Mind Gym and it really helped.

LOL, think Bay to Breakers in San Francisco...
Try it once as long as it is sanctioned and let us know how you feel about it. There are trails in Germany where clothing is optional.
As with so many things, namely nude beaches, generally you really don't want to see them that way.
Heck, I don't want to see myself naked why run or walk that way? ;o)

The only nude 5K in Southern California is April 18 at Olive Dell Ranch near Riverside, convenient access to LA, Orange County and Palm Springs. It's a cross country trail run with a few good hills. Last year 98 participants ran the course ranging from college students to a those in their 50's. Times were very competitive. You know it's somewhere on your bucket list, so may as well sign up and give it a try. Only $25 with the shirt and a visit to a nudist resort you probably didn't know existed. http://www.active.com/running/colton-ca/2nd-annual-bare-burro-nude-5k-run-2011
i am guessing it is not a run you do to raise $$ for charity??
or with your kids?
where would you put your goo or clip ur ipod?
but i guess it solves the problem of luggage when you travel
i know i for one would be last to finish.as a courtesy . no one needs to see this mother of four in the buff..
and i guess you dont go online a few days after to see race photos...or get a shadowbox metal?

There's a race called The Bare BunsTrail Race or something like that run just up the Turnpike from Philly. It's about 4.5 miles long and takes place within a secure park property that has a lot of other adult, clothing optional activities. I was tempted to try it last fall, but the timing was off. I hadn't run any races yet at that time. It would have been a fun sort of thing for me, not particularly sexy. Most of the folks who do that sort of thing are just regular people, not centerfold material by any stretch of the imagination.
I found out later that my girlfriend's mother goes to that park now and then. There's a scary thought!

They give out shirts at a nude run???
So wrong on so many levels!!! The mental image is enough to turn me off to the idea, with things flopping and flying all over the place Plus, I could imagine this could be a little painful, with rubbing and pulling going on in places that are otherwise safely supported when you run clothed.
I think I will stick to running clothed, but to each his own! :-) hahaha
Last year we had experienced runners, college students, a mother pushing a jogger, couples, singles and participants from 20 to 70. If you focus on the bodies, it's not always a pretty site. If you focus on the smiles of people being a bit wild and very free, it's one of the most beautiful things you'll see. Life's short. When you day comes will you be thankful you never tried it, or thinking you might have taken a bigger bite out of a life on a few occasions?

Seriously! Just the thought of the "sisters" being out there and unsupported while I'm running makes me (((((shudder))))). I wear clothes while running for the same reason the runners in the picture are wearing shoes - for protection! (I notice none of them are barefoot) Okay, and for modesty too.....
Um, yeah think I would have to say no. Swinging in the breeze is not my idea of fun running.
hey! as long as it's legal, go for it. good luck! have fun! don't fall!

Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|Hitler`s Role in the Pers... >
|List of abbreviations >>
(i)For the last twenty years my academic work has been concentrated on the Nazi Dicatorship, its structure, its origins and ist legacy. My work in this field which consists in particular of a dozen monographs and editions is highly regarded both in Germany and internationally.
(ii)I can declare my self an expert in working with archival documents, mostly unpublished, from this period. During the last twenty years I have workd in about 40 archives in Germany, Britian, Israel, Lithuania, the Soviet Union and the United States.
(iii)From the very beginning of my academic research I have been particularly interested in the structure of the Nazi system and the decision making-process. This interest developed when I wrote my dissertation, a study about bureaucratic infighting and decision-making in the Nazi Propaganda machinery. After completion of my dissertation I worked for several years at the Institut für Zeitgeschichte in Munich. During a period of more than five years at the Institute I edited the Second Part of the Project Akten der Partei-Kanzlei, an attempt to reconstruct the lost original files from the Nazi Party Chancellery, the central office of the Nazi party which coordinated the organisation of the Party and controlled the state bureacracy. This work which envolved the reading and summing up of about 80.000 pages of documents from the Nazi period gave me a unique insight into the day to day history of the Nazi system and a subtle understanding for the bureaucratic language and the behaviour of officials in this system. During my stay at the Institute I wrote two other books, a history of the Nazi Stormtroopers and a organisation history of the Party chancellery.
(iv)Since the end of the eighties my interest concentrated more and more on what I see today as the central chapter of the Nazi period: The persecution and murder of European Jews. I started this work by editing a collection of documents about the Holocaust in 1989. When I edited the book I war particularly concerned with the authenticity of the material and therefore consulted the great majority of the dorcuments as originals in archives.
(v)The publication of the German version of the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust (together with Eberhard Jäcke and Julius H. Schoeps) a work which included an updating of many of the articles, provided me with an excellent overview about research in this field
(vi)An invitiation to spent ten month at the International Center for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, gave me the opportunity to lay the cornerstone for a major monograph of the Holocaust, a book which was issued in 1998 (in German) under the title policy of annihilation and containes a comprehensive history of the persecution of the Jews in the period between 1933 and 1945. The manuscript of this book was accepted as Habilitationsschrift by the University of the Armed Forces in Munich in early 1999. (The Habilitation is the highest qualification at a German University and the basic condition for the award of a professorship). During the last two years I had the opportunity to give papers about the main results of this research at numerous Universities, Research Centres and Museums in Germany, Britain, the United States and Israel.
(vii)I have never stopped to attemped to look at the Holocaust and the Nazi period in a broader historical perspecitive; the last book before the book on the Holocaust was a comprehensive history of the Weimar Republic and at the moment I am working on a comparative study about manpower mobilisation in Germany and Great Britain during the Second World War.

What You Need to Know About Proposed Legislation to Reform the Health Care System
By Andy Miller
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD

FAQ: Making Sense of Health Care Reform
Congressional committees are working hard on President Barack Obama's top domestic goal: passing health care reform. It's the most significant effort to enact health reform in many years.
Here's a rundown of some of the issues being discussed and what they may mean to you:
Some people have advocated a 'single-payer' system. Why has it not gained more support?
Single payer is a health system run entirely by the government. It would replace the private insurance market, creating a Medicare-like structure that would cover all Americans. The government, the single insurer, would pay hospitals and doctors for their services. The idea has not gained traction, despite passionate advocacy, because of widespread opposition to government-controlled health care and to dismantling the current system. "It's not politically feasible,'' says Donald Taylor, a Duke University health policy professor.
Would reform require individuals to buy health insurance?
It's very likely. People from low to middle incomes would receive subsidies to afford it. Medicaid, a government program for the poor and disabled, could be expanded to cover more lower-income people. The goal: drastically reduce the number of uninsured Americans, currently at 45 million. Meanwhile, people who get insurance through their employer would likely retain that coverage.
Would reform require employers, including small businesses, to cover their workers?
Despite opposition from the business community, a plan that requires businesses to provide insurance benefits for their employees likely will be included. That could mean that companies with more than 25 employees (or possibly 50) would have to provide insurance for their workers or pay a penalty. Smaller businesses would be exempted. The House bill unveiled Tuesday would exempt firms with a payroll of less than $250,000 a year. Wal-Mart's recent endorsement of such an employer mandate ''made a huge difference on this issue,'' increasing chances of this provision passing, says Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund.
What is the most controversial aspect of the Democrats' reform overhaul?
Democrats are pushing for a public plan, run by the government, to compete with private health insurers. President Obama says it would ''keep insurance companies honest.'' Individuals and small businesses could shop for an affordable plan in an insurance ''exchange'' or marketplace, which would offer different choices. But Republicans feel a public plan eventually would drive health insurers out of business and leave a health system run entirely by the government. This could be the issue that blows up a potential agreement, says Paul Ginsburg, president of the Center for Studying Health System Change.

Following their loss to Pendleton County, the Grant County High School boys' soccer team was driven to prove they could play a complete game.
Against the Wildcats, the Braves rallied in the final 15 minutes, but were looking to show their skill over the full 90 minutes.
They proved they could with back-to-back wins over Walton-Verona and Harrison County.
The Braves defeated Walton-Verona 1-0 Sept. 8 on a goal from senior Anthony Clouse.
Led onto the field for the first time by new field commander Lucas Hampton, Grant County Marching Band started the season off with a bang as they brought home Reserve Grant Champion behind a fellow Grant County band, the Williamstown Band of Spirit.
They performed their repertoire "4" at 3 p.m. at the 19th annual Beechwood High School Festival of Bands and later competed in finals among 10 other bands.
After the first meet at their new course at Sherman Elementary, the Grant County cross country team might wish they raced there more often.
The boys' varsity, middle school and elementary teams took first place in their races, while the junior varsity team took second, trailing Covington Catholic by one point.
In the boys' varsity race, junior Jordan Cummins placed fourth to lead the Braves, coming in at a time of 16:56.1, the best time under coach Marlon Kinsey since Johnny Twehues ran a 16:56.7 in 1990.
Being a first-time parent has been a learning experience throughout my son's first two years of his young life.
From thinking he was never going to crawl to trying feverishly to catch up to him as he ran around the house, it's been amazing seeing how he has grown.
Nothing puts a brighter smile on my face then coming home from working and hearing those precious two words, "Hi, daddy!"
On the other side, I sure all parents know that not every moment of your child's life is bliss.
Sometimes, you get frustrated.
The officers and committee chairmen for the Grant County Future Farmers of America chapter attended the Kentucky FFA Leadership Training Center July 20-24.
The following members attended: President Tyler Spillman, Vice President Nicole Courtney, Secretary Mattie Kuechler, Sentinel Amanda Mills, Historian Jake Denney, Parliamentarian Tyler Holder and members Tyler Courtney, Clarissa Stoots, Cody Fornash and Cheyenne Miracle, along with advisors Sarah Baker and Richard Gater.
Thirty seconds away from starting their season with three straight wins, the Grant County High School football team was trying to move the ball down the field to make a field goal easier for their kicker, Preston Cahill.
Unfortunately, the Braves fumbled the ball, allowing Pendleton County to force overtime with the teams tied 14-14.
The Wildcats took the field on offense to start overtime and scored, putting the pressure on Grant County to answer with a score of their own.
Parents of Williamstown Elementary students who have relied on school bus transportation to and from out-of-district daycares soon will have to pay.
For years, the school district has taken students from Kiddie College and Mom's Christian Daycare (formerly New Discovery South) in Dry Ridge free of charge.
However, when Superintendent Sally Skinner began looking into the liability issue surrounding transporting out-of-district students, another problem was discovered.
A tale of guns, murder and betrayal will be showcased in a program built around the shared experience of people reading and talking about the same book.
The Grant County Public Library will join fellow libraries in Kenton, Boone and Campbell counties to participate in One Book, One Community for the second consecutive year.
Last year's book was George Ella Lyon's 1997 novel "With a Hammer for My Heart".

With the San Francisco 49ers in pursuit of a second straight Super Bowl appearance, the team has taken care of all the bumps and bruises, stresses and strains needed to take on QB Cam Newton and the dreaded Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
But as a howling flu bug advances across the country like a Colin Kaepernick-led touchdown drive, the Niners are just as cautious about viral germs that can transform swift, muscular maulers into weak, washed-out wimps.
"If I see someone on the team even sniffling," said starting free safety and avid hand-washer Eric Reid, "I will step back and walk around them and hope I don't hurt their feelings." He openly confesses to taking hot showers before and after spending time in the team's therapeutic ice tubs. "I learned my lesson about germs at the beginning of the season when I got sick from my daughter. Never again."
During this do-or-die playoff run, all of the Niners coaches, trainers, medicos and players are as dedicated to avoiding the flu as they are to dodging flying tacklers. Every player received an influenza vaccine at the facility last month.
However, the best defense these days inside the training camp in Santa Clara are the countless bottles of hand sanitizer -- in the cafeteria, locker room, meeting rooms, classrooms and on numerous desks. Even inside the team's massive, bodybuilding cathedral, where thousands of sweaty, football muscles explode daily, stacks of steel machines surround a slender 5-foot pedestal holding a dispenser of Purell.
While a giant sign above roars, "As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Man Sharpens Another," a tiny one on the dispenser boldly whispers, "Healthy hands start here."
Ask fullback Will Tukuafu about his personal anti-flu protocol, and he instantly whips out tiny packages of Emergen-C.
"I main-line three of these for breakfast, lunch and dinner," he explained about the 0.3 ounce powder that promises to transform a glass of water into 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C. "I also get serious with saunas, steam, and I get plenty of other fluids moving through my body. In the playoffs, you've got to suck it up. No matter how sick you get, you've got to get back to work."
Of course, Michael Jordan's famous "Flu Game," during the 1997 NBA Championship Finals, lives in the annals of incredible, competitive feats. The wobbly and miserably sick Chicago Bulls star broke open a gridlocked series against the Utah Jazz with an astonishing 44-minute gut check that included 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
But after surviving last week's minus-14 degree (wind chill) polar vortex game in Green Bay, along with the worrisome return of the H1N1 swine flu, Coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't want to take a chance on requiring a Jordanesque performance from a sick player. It's every coach's concern this time of year.
"If someone shows even a sign of being sick, we'll separate them from the rest of the group," said Scott Shaw, director of sports medicine at San Jose State University. "Just last week we had a (varsity) kid who seemed like he was getting the flu, and we ordered him to sit up in the stands and watch basketball practice. He felt better the next day, but because he was having stomach issues we didn't know if it was food poisoning or the flu. Our policy is let's be cautious and see what happens."
Even with something like the flu -- which can be deadly -- determined athletes may be able to hide how they are feeling. So trainers and doctors must keep close watch and ask: How significant is your illness? What are your symptoms? Do you have a fever? Are you dehydrated? Is there vomiting and diarrhea?
The Niners also urge athletes to be forthcoming with information as soon as possible. As guard Mike Iupati put it, "Dude, go see the doctor and go home to rest. We need you for Sunday."
Place-kicker Phil Dawson, a cold-weather guru honed by years playing in Cleveland, tells his new teammates to heed "the stuff dear ol' mom taught you when you were a kid," including good nutrition, plenty of fluids and adequate bed rest. "If everyone on the team does those things, we always have a fighting chance."
As of Friday, when the Niners flew east, the team had not detected any problems with flu, but caution was practiced by everyone on the campus that now sits in the shadow of Levi's Stadium, sprouting ever skyward.
"Don't shake my hand," Dr. Harry Edwards said at practice this week as he was meeting someone new. The famed sociologist and consultant to the Niners, cognizant of Sunday's stakes, said, "give me a little fist bump instead, because I don't want to spread my sniffle germs to you or anyone else out here."
Contact David E. Early at 408-920-5836.
To keep a nasty cold or virus from derailing their quest for a sixth Super Bowl, 49ers players and personnel swear by a few tricks to stay healthy during the playoff run:
Hot showers: Before and after time in the therapeutic ice tubs.
Steer clear of snifflers: No offense, but a 10-yard buffer guarantees a first down.
Wash hands, repeat: Bottles of hand sanitizer are everywhere at the team's training facility, from the locker room to the lunch room. A dispenser in the gym boldly whispers, "Healthy hands start here."
Monster-size doses of vitamin C: "I main-line three of these for breakfast, lunch and dinner,'' fullback Will Tukuafu says of his trusty packets of Emergen-C.
Steam and lots of fluid: Extra time in the sauna and lots of Gatorade.
Flu shots: Doctors brought the vaccinations from Stanford to the team's Santa Clara training facility last month.
"Stuff dear ol' mom taught": Phil Dawson, who spent a decade kicking in the cold of Cleveland, thinks back to mom's advice: good nutrition, plenty of fluids, adequate bed rest.
Fist bumps, no shakes: Sure, they're glad to see you. But the less contact, the better.

OAKLAND -- A second round of fiery protests failed to dissuade council members from enlisting former NYPD and LAPD Chief Bill Bratton to help Oakland fight crime, but it did convince city leaders to limit Bratton's public profile as a consultant.
Oakland's original plan for Bratton -- one of the world's most celebrated police chiefs -- included having him and Chief Howard Jordan conduct several community meetings "to engage and seek the community's support in reducing crime," according to a city report earlier this month.
But that plan changed after it became clear that Bratton's support for aggressive police tactics made him a lightning rod for protesters who filled the council's chamber two weeks in a row.
Instead, Bratton's consulting duties in Oakland will be limited to behind-the-scenes work surveying crime reduction efforts, setting forth a crime reduction strategy and interviewing city leaders.
Jordan said Wednesday that he didn't want protesters to turn the community forums into referendums on Bratton's record.
"We want to get things done," he said. "We don't want to be distracted by things that aren't part of the plan."
The council voted 7-1 early Wednesday morning to approve a $250,000 contract for a consulting team that includes Bratton to devise a crime reduction plan for Oakland, the state's most violent city. Councilwoman Desley Brooks cast the lone dissenting vote.
Oakland is reeling from a 23 percent jump in violent crime last year as the city's police force shrank to just 613 officers -- the lowest staffing level in more than a decade. The city's 131 homicides last year were the most since 2006.
Bratton is expected to begin work in February. Jordan said he would visit Oakland "more than three times."
Councilman Larry Reid opposed lowering Bratton's profile. He said that Bratton needed to engage residents to understand the city's crime issues. "We're caving into the protesters," he said.
Isaac Ontiveros, who helped organize the protests, said Bratton's revised duties was a victory for demonstrators. "I think it's unprecedented," he said."It speaks to the energy and insight and passion of Oakland residents."
Landing Bratton, who is best known for significantly reducing crime while at the helm of the nation's two biggest municipal police departments -- the New York and Los Angeles police departments -- initially was seen as a coup for Oakland Mayor Jean Quan.
But his repeated support for aggressive police tactics quickly stirred protests in a city where many residents don't trust the police department.
Bratton critics, many of whom were active with Occupy Oakland, feared he would give the city political cover to implement "stop and frisk" -- a tactic synonymous with granting police more latitude to stop and search potential suspects. They said minority boys and men would be the overwhelming targets.
Supporters of Bratton said that "zero-tolerance" police tactics were off the table and that Oakland needed someone of Bratton's stature and expertise to help the severely undermanned department fight a wave of violent crime.
Several hundred people watched the four-hour debate at City Hall, both inside the packed council chamber and in several overflow rooms with television feeds. Public testimony began with several ministers urging support for the contract. But as the night wore on, more opponents filled the chamber, and several freely shouted at council members.
Last week, Bratton critics dominated a council committee meeting, often drowning out their opponents with boos and hisses.
After that meeting, Bratton said that the protests wouldn't keep him from engaging with residents.
But given the intensity of the opposition, several council members said Bratton would be most effective working behind the scenes.
"I'm glad that we're maximizing the time he spends with our officers," Councilwoman Libby Schaaf said.
Councilman Dan Kalb said it would have been good for Bratton to hear from community members, but "I don't know if the meetings would have been productive if he was there," he said.
The consulting contract is an extension of an earlier deal with Strategic Policy Partnership, a firm headed by Robert Wasserman, who has consulted for police departments across the country. Wasserman convinced city leaders last year to expand the contract and bring in Bratton to help improve the department's data analysis system and work on a crime reduction plan.
With Bratton out of the limelight, Wasserman and Robert Stewart, an instructor for the International Association of Chiefs of Police, will lead the community meetings.
The consulting contract was one of several measures approved in the wee hours Wednesday to help Oakland's understaffed police department fight crime.
Council members also voted to remove funding restrictions on what will be the city's third police academy in the past year, add 21 civilian staffers so officers will have more time for fighting crime, and bring in Alameda County sheriff's deputies to help patrol the city.

Post subject: It feels like it's getting complicated
Hi Everyone,
I'm new here and would appreciate any advise / shares.
My husband and I are trying to have a baby. In December we had our first Insemination. In Jan i started with real light bleeding (on the 8th of Dec), symptoms not at all like the usual period symptoms. Called my gygy who said it was my periods and asked me to continue with my treatment. My periods lasted longer than usual, then it stopped. We decided to take a break coz we were getting way too disappointed and stressed.
Yesterday the 18th, I threw up in the morning. Later that morning while I went to pee I noticed that I was bleeding a bit. I used a pad and this morning it was stained.Today I feel sick, and my tummy seems tight. I know I cld pick up the phone and call my gygy but he's not as empathetic as I'd hoped.
Has anyone ever had this kind of an experience before? Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

My advise is take a pregnancy test, any abnormal bleeding even around the right time to be a period combined with symptoms like nausea could be pregnancy related ,
I had what I thought was a period last time I was pregnant, so I carried on taking my pill and only tested much later (about 9 weeks later )at my husbands insistance, turns out I was 13 1/2 weeks pregnant by then and hadn't had a clue
If the test comes back negative then it could be down to any meds they've had you on disrupting your cycle , sometimes just the fact you're having treatments can be enough to throw your cycle off, FX its a BFP though , Good luck xx

Hi DL05 and Poppytops!
Thank you for the advice. I still have a bit of erratic staining (I can't really call it bleeding). Reading your stories kinda gives me hope, so thank you again
I think I'll do just that - Get a pregnancy test and check. Keep you'll posted
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2013 4:21 pm
Post subject:
No such thing as might be with a pregnancy test two lines means you're pregnant , the one furthest from the bit you pee on tends to be darker as thats just the control line and always appears, the other one can be any shade, but as long as its coloured it means its picked up HCG and you're pregnant
Congratulations now might be a good time for that phone call to your doctor for a check up xx

Hey Everyone,
You have all been so kind with your help and with sharing your experiences. Thank you very much!
I am just trying to be a little less excited so if ever i have any bad news I don't get disappointed.
I did another clearblue test today and it confirms that I am pregnant by 3 weeks +.
It probably adds up coz we had our insemination on the 28th of December. After that I've had no hormones no nothing... I'm excited but weary...
Thinking about getting a blood test done. But a friend advises to stay positive, not do anymore tests and go visit my gynacologist. I was thinking more about get blood test done, get sure that way you don't end up being silly in front of gynacologist.
What do you guys advise.

I've never heard of a false positive on a clearblue digital , and if its saying 3+ then its picking up quite a high level of pregnancy hormone, so I think you can relax and be confident you are pregnant ,lots of women don't have symptoms or signs early on so I wouldn't worry about not feeling pregnant yet, i'm sure your Gynae doc won't think you're silly if you book an appointment now ,Good luck with everything xx

Hiya Everyone,
Thanks for your messages. So I did a bloodtest and it came out positive. I still am not a complete believe. I think it's because I'm still staining a little.
I've taken an apt. with my gygy for monday evening, which is when we will for sure. I really hope he confirms,otherwise I'd be sooo heartbroken
Have a great weekend all of you!!!
Lots of love!

Hi Everyone,
It is with a happy yet heavy heart that I get to announce to your that we lost our baby on Monday the 4th of Feb. @ 6 weeks...
It's strange because just a week before that my husband and I heard a nice strong heartbeat. I have decided to call my lost baby Joy... I don't know if it was a girl or a boy, but for that one week that we knew we were having the baby, it brought us and everyone around us a lot of happiness.
It's going to take me some time to overcome this loss of mine. I look forward to my body getting back to normal faster than usual which i think will really help.
In the meantime, I just wanted to thank all of you for your help, advice and direction during my experience.

STANFORD -- The last time Stanford visited Colorado's Folsom Field, for the 1990 season opener, coach David Shaw was an eager, wide-eyed freshman receiver who burst out of the locker room ahead of his Cardinal teammates.
And then he saw Ralphie.
"It scared the heck out of me," Shaw said of the live buffalo mascot, whose pregame run is one of the great sights in college football.
"I came out of the locker room, and the first thing I saw was Ralphie coming at me."
That was Ralphie III. Colorado's current mascot is Ralphie V, who weighs 450 pounds and is no less intimidating.
The same cannot be said for the Colorado football team.
When the teams met 22 years ago, sixth-ranked Colorado defeated Stanford 21-17 on a questionable touchdown and went on to win the national title.
This version is arguably the worst team in any of the six major conferences:
Stanford beat Colorado 48-7 last year -- Andrew Luck threw for 370 yards -- and is favored by 28 points Saturday.
Its greatest challenge will be mustering enough motivation to dispatch the Buffs quickly and efficiently, something it failed to do last week against Washington State.
It would be hard to fault the No. 15 Cardinal for looking past lowly Colorado to its highly anticipated stretch run against No. 13 Oregon State, No. 2 Oregon and No. 25 UCLA.
"The type of games we've had don't allow you to look ahead," defensive end Ben Gardner said. "We're not built to run up the score. We've got to bring it.
"People can talk about Oregon and Oregon State, but those games won't matter if we don't get the wins along the way."

A Kai-lan live show at home featuring your child is just a few printables away. Just glue our backdrops to a shoe box, glue provided props in place, and the stage is ready for your stars!
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
Print out  Kai-lan Puppet Theater Props and multiple copies of  Kai-lan Puppet Theater Backgrounds to decorate the inside of your shoe box. It would be perfect if the lid of your shoe box is attached to the box, because you can extend the "playground" or the set design outside the shoe box. If, in most of the cases, the lid is separate from the box, cut out the front panel of the lid and use tape to attach it to the open bottom of the shoe box.
Help your child cut out the woods scene to decorate the back and side walls. Cut out the grassland image for the bottom of the shoe box. Cut out and place as many props as you need. Use the photo as a guide. Instructions for lantern cutouts: Cut out the four strips of lanterns. Fold accordion style until you have a stack of folded lantern images. Cut through all layers at once along the top lantern's shape. When you are done, you'll get a string of lantern. Glue the first lantern to a side wall and the last lantern to the back wall or the ceiling and try various combination!
Print Kai-lan Chinese New Year Puppet Theater Puppets and help your child cut them out. Glue the front and back of the character cutouts together and fold the bottom tabs in opposite directions, as the template instructs.
Place the closed-up box toward the edge of a table. Open the lid to reveal the hidden land of Kai-lan, and it's time for the puppets to join the scene and play!
Show your kids how to tell time with this paper plate peek-a-boo clock!
Make a simple decoration that's SUPER cute
Use words--and make a face--to explore feelings together this no-sew pillow
Say "ni hao" with the el-egg-ant springtime craft from Kai-lan
We'll shed some light on how to put recyclable jars to good use!
Nothing says "Gong Hay Fat Choy" more than these hand-made money envelopes!
Wear your heart on your CD sleeve this Valentine's Day!
Let sweet holiday wishes bloom with these simple, customized cookie boxes.
It's easy to stay warm when Mr. Sun is overhead
Pick, print, tape -- PRESTO! Enchanting lanterns to put on display!
Face those winter winds with a cheery smile from Kai-lan!
Turn your preschooler into Kai-lan's koala pal, Tolee!
Your kids will roar with delight once you transform them into this friendly tiger!
For the cutest costume at a party, come as Tolee!
A creative paper craft that becomes child's play
Take the game outside or inside and toss to your heart's desire
Your kid's kicks are kickin' with these decorative shoelace covers
Cool off with a little help from Kai-lan
A handy case with a friendly face!
It's perfect for your kids' Pop!
Make a super special card for Mom!
Kai-lan and friends are preparing for spring. Watch their garden grow!
Go, tiger! Step it up with a craft from Kai-lan's best friend
All aboard the Kai-lan Express! Next stop, fun and creativity for you and your child.
Let Tolee's favorite friend give you a hand at bathtime.
Jump in the tub with Hoho!
Make sweethearts super happy with this crafty card
Make your little sweetheart "super happy" with a treats-filled heart box!
Turn a "roarrr!" into a "purrr" with this cuddly pillow
Give your heart and your love to someone special this Valentine's Day.

A gel form of the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen may work as well as a pill and cause fewer side effects.
Researchers at Northwestern University tested the topical gel on 26 women with a type of pre-cancer called DCIS.
After six to 10 weeks, there were changes in the gene linked to breast tumors similar to those in women who took the pill form of the drug. But because less of the drug circulates in the blood in gel form, there may be a decreased risk of blood clots and uterine cancer.
If future studies show similar results, experts say Tamoxifen gel could one day become the standard for breast cancer prevention.

A January for the Ages Bodes Well for Stocks
As goes January, so goes the rest of the year.
That's yet another bullish sign for stocks and the continued push toward record highs.
The Dow is up 806 points, or 6.2%, this month through Wednesday's close, the best start to a year since 1989. The S&P 500 is up 5.3%, its best January performance since 1997. If Apple were excluded, the index would be up 6.1% this month, more in-line with the Apple-less Dow.
Historical trends suggest big rallies that start a new year generally bode well for the ensuing 11 months of the year.
Since 1929, the S&P 500 has averaged a 13% gain in the years when the index rose in January, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. When the index falls in January, it has averaged a 3.6% decline in those years.
What's more, the better the January, the stronger the full-year returns.
There have been nine years since 1960 in which the S&P 500 rose more than 5% in January. In eight of those nine instances, the market finished those years higher, with the lone outlier coming in 1987, due to the October crash.

Those rallies exhibited endurance beyond their strong Januaries. Data from Birinyi Research show the S&P 500 has averaged a 13% gain from February through the end of the year following a a big January Deutsche Bank notes the index has averaged a full-year gain of 23% during those years.
David Bianco, chief U.S. equity strategist at Deutsche Bank who last week raised his price target on the S&P 500 to 1600, pointed to some exceptions to the January effect. In 1966, 1994, 2001 and 2011, stocks started those years on strong footing, yet the rallies faded throughout those years.
"Circumstances of 1966 and 1994 are cautionary," Bianco says. "These were poor performance years owing mostly to Fed tightening."
For 2013, economists aren't expecting the Fed to pull the plug on the stimulus spigots or even raise rates anytime soon. Still, Treasury yields have risen in January, with the benchmark 10-year yield currently hovering around 2.0%
"We think it critical that Treasury bond yields do not surge this year," Bianco says. "An orderly and moderate ascent in yields is fine and expected, but any surge on US rating downgrades, fiscal irresponsibility, or inflation fears is a risk that warrants watching."
But for now, historical analysis suggests more gains for stocks could be in the offing. In 12 of the last 15 post-presidential election years, the S&P 500 has followed January's direction, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac.
The Fed's continued efforts to pump money into the financial system, less turmoil in Washington and Europe and a relatively decent corporate earnings season have propelled the stock market's big start to 2013. Small investors have also been shifting back to stocks, providing another source of fuel for the market.
The Dow is about 250 points away from its October 2007 record high, while the S&P 500 is about 4% from its all-time high.
"The new trend in the market appears to be that good news is defined by the lack of bad events (not going over the cliff; delaying the sequester; forming committees to discuss)," S&P's Silverblatt says.
Whether those reasons are enough for the Dow and S&P 500 to regain record highs remains to be seen.

You're 4 years old today and it feels as though these past four years have gone by in the blink of an eye. This year has been so incredibly difficult but through it all, you've been a ray of sunshine.
I remember so clearly how I cried and laughed hysterically when the doctors told me you were a girl with a head full of black hair just like I had when I was born. You felt like a special gift meant just for me in that moment and every day since I feel more and more thankful to have a sweet little girl who wears my sunglasses, strikes a pose and yells "WORD!" (Thank your big brother for that one!)
A little girl who now refuses to let me do her hair because Daddy only uses headbands and really, who needs to brush their hair anyways? A little girl who pretends I'm her prince and makes all her dolls watch our wedding as I dip you during the first dance. Just like my Momma did with me as we danced in the living room when I was a little girl.
To your Mutha.
You're my precious little girly girl who believes in fairy tales and true love and who hopefully always will despite the fact that life is upside down for us all right now. Know this: no matter where life takes us from here, you are the best little girl in the whole world and I love you more than words could ever say.
I adore you from the top of your hobo hair head to the tip of your Colie toes. From your big, beautiful brown eyes to your cute little button nose.
You are the light of my life.
Happy birthday sweet girl, with a million Italian cheek kisses.

BBC Launches iPhone Sport App
A dedicated sports app from the BBC is now available in the U.K. for the iPhone and iPod Touch with news, live scores, commentary and analysis. It follows the success of the broadcaster's Olympic app which offered up to 24 simultaneous live streams and was downloaded more than two million times.
The Next Web carries a hands-on review which suggests the writer was slightly underwhelmed by the app's current functions.
At launch, the BBC Sport app won't carry any streaming media itself though, with the likes of Radio 5 Live acknowledged via a link to the mobile browser version of its live-stream. However, we're told that live and on-demand video/radio will be included in subsequent updates to the app, and the Android app is a matter of weeks away. It's perhaps also worth noting here that although the app will work on iPads, it won't be optimized for Apple's omnipresent tablet, and there are no imminent plans to do so as the mobile version of the site is deemed more than adequate…
Given that almost a third of BBC Sport's traffic comes from mobile during the weeks, rising to 40% at weekends and as high as 45% on a Saturday afternoon, it was really only a matter of time before native mobile apps were launched. But in some respects, the app almost feels like it has been launched prematurely – people have come to expect video and radio through the main BBC Sport portal, though admittedly the wait for such features won't be a long one.
Tech Radar discusses with product manager Lucie McLean the reasons for the Android app being launched after the iOS version. She says that the Android app has to account for a variety of screen sizes and variations in navigation, but that it will be available within weeks, possibly at the same time as live and on-demand video services are rolled out.
Users of popular 7-inch Android tablets Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7 will be delighted that their devices WILL be given some love, a priority for the Beeb's team after not getting the Olympics app out for the devices.
"For the Olympics we had this beautiful app built and two weeks later the Nexus 7 came out," added McLean.
"I checked it out on [the device] and it wasn't good enough, so people weren't very happy understandably.
"So this time all of those Christmas-stockinged Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDs will be supported by the Android app and they look great, as well as the ones in the middle like the Galaxy Note.

There is beauty in everyone. That's the message the Eating Disorders Resource Center hopes to spread with its fifth annual Every Body's Beautiful essay contest.
The center is inviting all middle and high school students in Santa Clara County to share their views on the meaning of beauty and to answer questions about how the media and society can affect self-esteem and body image.
"As many as 30 percent of girls and 16 percent of boys in American high schools suffer from disordered eating, including bingeing, vomiting, fasting, laxatives, diet pill use and compulsive exercise," said EDRC's executive director Janice Bremis. "EDRC's goal, as a part of eating disorders prevention, is to increase 'media intelligence' among youth and to encourage body and self-acceptance. Our annual essay contest helps create mindfulness and self-acceptance among students."
Kira Olson, the center's program manager, says that the essay contest is one of the center's main awareness events each year, and the hope is to get students thinking about what beauty means and why, and about their body image and self esteem.
"We hope that there is overall awareness and sensitivity created to these issues and that students start thinking critically about how the media and society might influence their self image and their views of body," she said. "There is a kind of empowerment to these kids in understanding what the true meaning of beauty is and really owning that for themselves versus believing what the world is saying beauty is."
The contest was started by Bremis, who also founded the center in 2006 at Mission Oaks Hospital in Los Gatos after struggling with her own eating disorder and realizing that there were not a lot of options for help out there for people like herself.
"There was a general lack of resources, coordinated services, poor insurance coverage and other things like that," Olson said. "The whole goal of EDRC is to be that one link between resources for people."
The center helps and supports people with eating disorders in a number of ways. It has a help line, hosts support groups, provides education in the community, is involved in local and national advocacy and puts on awareness events, such as the essay contest.
"The goal of the contest is to get the word out about what we do so that if a student is struggling with something, they know that they can contact us and we are a safe place," Olson said. "And then it's also to just get teachers kind of talking to students about these issues and to generate overall awareness and prevention in schools."
Essays will be graded and voted on by EDRC staff members and employees of this year's sponsors: Kaiser Permanente, Santa Clara County Library District and Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Middle school and high school student essays will be reviewed separately, and the top three essays from each category will be awarded cash prizes of up to $300, donated by the sponsors.
The winners will be announced on May 3 at the Strong Girls, Strong Women Leadership Conference sponsored by the American Association of University Women and Office of Women's Policy.
"We are going to announce the winners that are able to attend the conference. Afterward, anyone that was not able to go, we typically do visits to their schools and present during their awards ceremonies or at some other sort of special event," Olson said.
Olson added that last year 65 students from 38 schools entered the contest and EDRC is hoping for an even larger number this year.
"There is power in what kids say, especially in middle school and high school students who are struggling with these issues," Olson said. "We've had some really interesting essays and perceptions from the students. Sometimes the innocent perspective really speaks volumes to adults that are then thinking, 'Wow, we really need to be careful of the messages we send out,' or, 'This is how they are interpreting things?' "
Essays of 500 words or less are being accepted until March 14 and should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Students must be in a middle or high school in Santa Clara County. For more information on the contest, visit edrcsv.org.

Border-Radius Roundup
By greimer on Feb 27, 2008
The black and white object you're looking at will look different depending which browser you're using, but it should look like a circular target of some sort. It was created using nothing more than CSS's border-radius property and a couple of span tags. All of that to say this: It looks like Safari/Webkit browsers are rendering border-radius quite nicely these days, and Gecko-based browsers aren't far behind, if Firefox's latest public beta means anything. To illustrate this, I've posted some screenshots of a test page I built. This wasn't an exhaustive test for CSS3 border-radius compliance, just an attempt to see where the browsers were with basic support. Only one background image is used (shown below), the rest is pure CSS. (All tests done on the Mac.)[Read More]

With the Jimmie Rodgers Festival less than two months away, the Jimmie Rodgers Foundation announced more details about performances associated with the annual salute to 'The Father of County Music'.
The MSU Riley Center, Dumont Plaza, and the Temple Theater will all play hosts to acts during the festival.
A music talk show, "The Right Place with Kevin Sport", which airs on SportsSouth, will also be in town during the Jimmie Rodgers Festival to speak with the artists and cover the history of he Father of Country Music.
Three major artists will be featured at the 2012 festival. All three will kick off the festival Wednesday, May 16, at the Temple Theater.
"We're going to be having 'The Heart Behind the Music', which is a singer/songwriter showcase on May 16. Mac McAnally, Teddy Gentry, and Lenny LeBlanc," said Betty Lou Jones. "Songwriters' names are not as familiar as performers, but let me just say that Mac McAnally is performing with Jimmy Buffett, Teddy Gentry is the bass player with Alabama, and Lenny LeBlanc is famous for his well-known Gospel songs that he has written."
The final Saturday will be an activity-packed day.
"On Saturday we have the talent show starting at 8:00. That's Saturday, May 19, 8:00. Then we have Jimmie's Jam in the afternoon," said Jones. "Wynonna at 7:30 and Cedric Burnside finishing us up at Dumont Plaza after the Wynonna concert."
"They can expect to see several shows for one," said Kevin Sport, host of The Right Place. "We'll do more than one part. We'll probably do three parts to this because we'll have lots of footage. And we're going to cover the museum, going to be at the theater filming live footage of the performances and getting great conversations with Teddy Gentry and Mac McAnally and Lenny LeBlanc and filling it in with Meridian and the Jimmie Rodgers history as we can."

100% premium: Novartis buys antibiotics specialists Neutec Pharma
London – Another UK biotech company was taken over when Novartis signed a recommended all-cash offer worth Euro435 million for the antibiotics specialists Neutec pharma. The Swiss pharma giant paid more than twice of the Manchester-based company's market capitalization before the takeover approach. Buying Neutec gives Novartis access to two advanced stage antibody products for serious hospital-acquired infections: Mycograb, for treating systemic fungal infections and Aurograb, for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Daniel Vasella, CEO of Novartis, said the products "promise to dramatically improve treatments in the area and will also enable Novartis to strengthen its biologics pipeline and anti-infective drug portfolio." Mycograb has been filed in Europe and has been approved for compassionate use, while Aurograb is in phase III. NeuTec has retained 100% ownership of its products. The buyout is a big payday for the founders Ruth Mathews and James Burnie, who still own a 7% stake. During the takeover negotiations the founders secured NeuTecs operations at the current facility in Manchester for at least two years. The sale of the company came just three weeks after AstraZeneca agreed to buy Cambridge Antibody for Euro1.1 billion. Besides the Neutec deal the antibiotics market has seen amany known players disappear. One of the most prominent was the US-based Vicuron, bought by Pfizer for $1.9 billion. New companies have nevertheless emerged as Roche (Basilea), Sanofi-Aventis (Novexel), Sandoz (Nabriva) and Bayer (Aicuris) span out their infectious disease businesses.
