AUGUSTA, Ga.---With this year's PGA Tour event before the year's first major moving out of state, many golfers elected to skip the Houston Open in favor of more practice at the National. That means even more big names than usual were already in the Garden City today.
This has been the most active Sunday before the Tournament in awhile, with some serious star power on the course. Tiger Woods, chief among them, stepped out onto the driving range around 1 o'clock this afternoon, and defending champ Phil Mickelson showed up just a few minutes earlier.
Some other past champions, like Gary Player and Seve Ballesteros, who hasn't seen the field in four years, were also getting some extra practice in today.
Augusta native Charles Howell III is already back home as well, looking for his first Green Jacket.
The one thing these players have in common is they can't wait for this time of year.
Aside from the star power already in town on Sunday, the major talk at the course today focused on Arnold Palmer and the possibility of the four-time Masters champion serving as this year's honorary starter.
Palmer played his 50th and final Masters Tournament in 2004, and has always maintained that he wouldn't consider hitting a ceremonial tee shot in Augusta until he stopped playing competitive golf.
Asked about the possibility of taking on that role this year, Palmer said it was a possibility.
At the Augusta National today, the players already in town for the Tournament were overwhelmingly in favor of Palmer taking over that role. The Masters has not had an honorary starter since Sam Snead passed away in 2002.
There are many unique aspects of the Masters, but one that stands out is the participation of amateurs in the field. This year, five of them will be taking part in the fun.
A couple of them could be found around the driving range and chipping area earlier today. David Womack was one of them. Womack just happens to be from McDonough, Georgia, and he picked up his invite by being the runner-up in the US Mid Amateur. Also around earlier was Casey Watabu from Hawaii. Watabu won the Public Links title to be invited. Once he won, he knew he was coming to Augusta.
Last year, no amateur made the cut. Ryan Moore was the last one to do so two years ago, and he came in 13th.

Augusta's own Vaughn Taylor is no longer a Masters rookie. Heck, he has two PGA Tour victories and was a member of the Ryder Cup. The pressure of performing in front of the home folks might be off this week.
"Last year was pretty nerve-wracking and pressure-packed, so hopefully this year I'll be more relaxed and there'll be a little less pressure on me, and just go out and play and enjoy it a little more," he said.
It's safe to say nobody had more pressure on them at last year's Masters than Vaughn Taylor. The Hephzibah High and Augusta State alum is the hometown hero on the links. With a laid-back attitude, Taylor made it through just fine.
"All in all it was a good week, as much as was going on with pressure and nerves," he told us.
The only regret was one missed putt on 18 that would have let him play the weekend.
"I hit a really good putt, it just didn't go in, so that's the way the ball bounces sometimes," he said. "I would have liked to make that putt and get there on the weekend, but it was a learning experience, and it probably motivated me to get back this year."
What a whirlwind year it has been for the unassuming Taylor. The Masters was the first major he'd ever played in. He also made the field in the PGA and the British Open. Then there was the Ryder Cup. Not bad for a 31-year-old with three years of PGA experience under his belt. So when does he find time for a vacation?
"Last year was so crazy, I didn't feel like doing anything, so I just stayed home and relaxed and just tried to get back down to Earth," he said. "I'm just fortunate to be able to play a sport I love and be able to do this for a living."
This from maybe the most down-to-Earth golfer on the planet. Talk about humble. This year hasn't been too bad so far. He's coming off a third place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Who knows...when he tees it up this week, we might see something we very rarely see from Taylor on the course: a smile!
Someone will be smiling come next Sunday afternoon.
In 2006, it was Phil Mickelson, for a second time.
But as usual, it's never as easy as it looks, and Lefty had some stiff competition.
On a sun-splashed Thursday morning, the stars were out and set to begin their quest for the coveted Green Jacket. Added length, narrower fairways, and more trees added to the backdrop of the National.
Masters rookie Vaughn Taylor opened with a three over 75.
"I'm proud of myself," he said. "I wanted to play a little better than that. The last few holes I definitely got comfortable and finally started making some swings that I thought I needed to."
Only three players broke 70 in the opening round. The leader was Vijay Singh, with a five under 67, serving notice he was ready to win again.
"I'm just happy to be up front, and I'm hoping to go out there tomorrow and do the same thing," he said.
Friday came and went with a Texan on top of the leaderboard. Chad Campbell's 67 vaulted him to the top spot with South African Tim Clark and journeyman Rocco Mediate just a shot off the pace.
One of the best early round stories was that of 54-year-old Ben Crenshaw, who found the time machine. At one under par, gentle Ben made the cut for the first time in nearly a decade.
Other drama in round two included Taylor's quest to make the cut. While Charles Howell III struggled both days, Taylor hung around the cut line. But his birdie on 18 slid by, and VT was only a spectator on the weekend.
"It was a great experience," he said. "I learned a lot. Anytime you play in a tournament of this nature, you're going to learn a lot, and I'll take a lot from it."
Rain was the story on Saturday. A four-hour delay in the afternoon left most of the field having to wait until Sunday to finish things up. That's when Phil Mickelson would make his move to the top of the leaderboard, with ten golfers within three strokes of the lead.
Among them was 46-year-old Fred Couples and Tiger Woods, who had yet to make his charge.
"I've always believed you try to keep yourself in the ballgame," Woods said. "Some days you go low, some days you don't. As long as you're still there, you're building to Sunday."
When they teed off for the final round, everyone was waiting for a Tiger. But one missed putt after another left him disgusted and disappointed.
"I hit it so good today, all day, from the first tee to the 18th hole. I really controlled my flight. It was realy frustrating that something that's been the hallmark of my game, making putts, and all of a sudden I don't make putts. That's very frustrating."
A hole out on 18 by Tim Clarke gave him his best major finish ever, second place.
But the afternoon belonged to Mickelson. Playing alongside good friend Fred Couples, Mickelson took control on the back nine and was never really challenged. A 69 was good enough for an enjoyable walk up 18 and a two-shot victory for his second Green Jacket.
"It felt incredible," he said. "Having a three-shot lead and knowing that victory was at hand was an amazing feeling. It was very stressful in 2004 but it felt very very good today."
So who will it be this time around?
One of the reasons the Masters Tournament is so special is the presence of past champions...men like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. But we found a former Masters champ living right here in Augusta, whose name you probably don't know.
Caddie Eddie McCoy, EB to his friends, still lives within walking distance of the Augusta National, and began learning the nuances of its tricky greens at a young age.
"If you're standing on number one, you have to remember the grain of the greens runs toward the 12 teebox on almost every hole."
McCoy followed the path of many young caddies at the time, looping at the Augusta Country Club until he was ready for what was known as the Big Course.
"I caddied my first Masters at 17 with Mr. Herbert Kaizer."
McCoy was a seasoned veteran at the National before he began working for Gary Player in 1970, nine years after Player won his first Green Jacket. McCoy enlisted the help of a member he caddied for to take over Player's bag.
"I said, 'Mr. Kerr, I heard Gary Player's bag is open next year, and I really would like to have it, because I know he already won one, and I think he's got some more wins in his system.' So he said, 'Okay, we'll see what we can do.'"
A partnership was born that would last 25 years. McCoy and Player won the '74 Masters and, just four years later, equaled the feat.
"You were a celebrity," McCoy said. "If you won the Masters, for the next year you were on the top."
Nearly 30 years later, EB still has a set of irons Player gave to him and a treasured piece of fan mail.
"'I know the importance of a good caddie who knows how the green rolls, especially on a strange course. Good luck, John Griffin.' Now that's one of the highlights of my life."
Player and McCoy parted ways professionally just over ten years ago as the Black Knight urged EB to take on a golfer's bag that had a better shot at making some money. But believe it or not, as Player returns to Augusta for his 50th Masters, McCoy is hoping to be right behind him for one more walk around the Big Course.
McCoy's health has kept him from caddying the past few years, but there is no doubt that his knowledge of the National is as sharp as ever.

The Torneo de la Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires, or simply Torneo de la URBA, is an Argentine rugby union competition held in Buenos Aires. Created on 10 April 1899,[1] it is the oldest rugby competition in South America and one of the oldest club competitions in the world.
The precursor of both the Argentine Rugby Union and today's Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires, "River Plate Rugby Championship" was founded in Buenos Aires on 10 April 1899 by four clubs: Buenos Aires FC, Belgrano AC and Lomas from Buenos Aires, and Rosario AC from Rosario, Santa Fe. The first president of the body was Leslie Corry Smith.[1]
That same year, the RPRU organised the first edition of the Buenos Aires' inter-club competition, which inaugural winner team was Lomas. In 1995 the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires was created, as a result of a reorganization of the UAR. Since then, the championship renamed "Torneo de la URBA".[2]
Today the URBA is Argentina's most powerful provincial union and the Torneo de la URBA the strongest club competition in the country, with 82 clubs playing in 4 divisions.
The Torneo de la URBA is open to all clubs from the Buenos Aires Province. As a founding member of the RPRU, Atlético del Rosario was also authorised to participate, even though the club is from the city of Rosario in Santa Fe Province (while the other clubs from that city take part in the Torneo del Litoral organised by the Rosario and Santa Fe unions).
The tournament is one of the country's two main club competitions; the other being the tournament dedicated to the clubs from the provinces (i.e. not from Buenos Aires): the Torneo del Interior.
The URBA tournament's formula has changed many times since 1899. The most recent inception is 82 clubs playing in 4 divisions: 24 clubs in the first division, 24 in the second, 16 in the third and 18 in the fourth division.
First division[edit]
The first division (officially called "Torneo de la URBA – Grupo I") involves 24 clubs divided into 2 zones of 12 teams. Each team play against its 11 opponents in the zone only once (either home or away). At the end of the first phase the best 14 clubs (7 clubs per zone) qualify to the "Top 14" phase of the competition, while the other 10 clubs meet the 14 best-qualified clubs of the second division in a promotion/relegation competition.
The Top 14 phase takes place over 13 weeks, with every club playing each of their opponents only once (either home or away). At the end of this phase, the first 4 clubs qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament, with the first ranked team meeting the fourth and the second meeting the third. Both semi-finals take place on the same weekend on neutral ground. The final usually takes place a week later and the winner of this game is crowned "Campeón de la URBA".
Both the URBA winner and runner-up qualify for the Nacional de Clubes semi-finals, where they meet the winner and runner-up of the Torneo del Interior. The winner of that competition is declared Argentine champion.
Other divisions[edit]
The lower divisions of the URBA tournament follow a similar system with 2 phases. The best ranked teams from the first phase entering a promotion competition, and the lowest ranked teams entering a salvation competition.
First Division (Grupo I)[edit]
The tournament was created in 1899 as "River Plate Rugby Championship", using this name until 1908, when it changed to "The River Plate Rugby Union". In 1931 the name was translated into Spanish "Unión de Rugby del Río de la Plata", that remained until 1951 when the union took the definitive "Unión Argentina de Rugby".[1]
In 1995 the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires (abbreviated: "URBA") was created as a body independent of the UAR. The URBA took charge of the organization of the tournament, which adopted the name "Torneo de la URBA" that has remained up to the present times.
Club Atlético San Isidro has won the most titles with 33 championships, followed by its arch-rival San Isidro Club with 25 titles. The complete list of champions is detailed below:[2] [3]
Up until 1997 a league system was used, if two or more clubs finished with the same number of points they would share the title. This happened several time, including in 1939 when a record 3 clubs had to share the URBA title. To remedy this, a play-off system leading to a grand final was instaured in 1998. This new system has been in used since then, except in 2001.[4][5]
Below is the complete list of the Torneo de la URBA from 1899:[6]

The bedroom is one of the most intimate rooms in a house. It is the place where one rests, sleeps and reflects. It is important for this room to have a sense of peace and tranquility. The bedroom furniture contributes to this feel. The color on the walls and the kind of flooring bring about the entire concept of the room.
The furniture for the bedroom usually brings a certain theme. It could either be modern and contemporary or it could be traditional and antique. At times it could have a casual theme while at times the theme could be vocational.
The furniture is made from different kinds of material. Sometimes it can be made of mahogany, pine, bamboo or the many kinds of numerous kinds of wood. The color of the furniture could blend throughout the room or could be mixed depending on the preferences of the owner.
The bed is the main piece in a bedroom. It should be chosen wisely. There are different sizes and one should choose a size that is pocket friendly to them. It is best to agree, though, that the bigger the bed, the better. The bed could either be a normal bed, or a four poster, sleigh or canopy bed. The bedding will bring out the beauty of the entire ensemble.
Nightstands are normally at the sides of the bed for easier access. They sometimes come as a set with the bed. Sometimes when they do not, it is easier to acquire a pair of them that match your bed. There are various designs that you could choose from. This room should have dressers and a mirror set for grooming purposes. The dressers are used to store clothing in an organized manner. Some people prefer wardrobes though.
Bedroom furniture is what makes the bedroom beautiful. Whether fancy or casual, they should be durable. They should also be gotten at good bargains.

Location: Systematic Entomology
Project Number: 8042-22000-262-00
Start Date: Oct 01, 2010
End Date: Sep 30, 2015
ARS will undertake research to generate morphological and molecular characters (DNA sequences) that will be used to test species concepts and hypotheses of relationship among agriculturally important flies, wheat pests, and parasitoid wasps that attack them. These data also will be used to develop new diagnostic tools (descriptions, illustrations, keys) to permit more rapid and accurate identification of these flies, wasps, and wheat pests. Databases containing scientific names, distributions, taxonomic literature, and host plant and specimen data pertaining to fruit flies will be expanded and disseminated to the user community. These and other taxonomic tools will be made accessible to the public via publications, the internet, and other electronic media. Timely and accurate identifications of flies will be provided, including those intercepted at ports-of-entry by APHIS-PPQ or submitted by a wide range of scientists and regulatory agencies, and portions of the National Collection in the National Museum of Natural History, a vital tool for research and identification, will be maintained and expanded.

Had three great days last week on this interval training set I found for 5k races. I'm amping it up a little and in a couple weeks plan to throw in some distance.
Right after those workouts (all of them were running, cycling and light weights), I got home and fell into a depression stupor of sorts. It's irritating as hell. My time cannot be managed the same at home and one thing I am bad at is managing my personal time. I should have been much happier as my biopsy results were clear, recheck in 6 months. But I was just exhausted and didn't feel like I engaged with my kids like I wanted to. Still, they are very loving kids and always help me.
I can see changes in my face that I haven't seen in 7 or 8 years. Feels good.
The wind is screeching outside. I have not done an outdoors workout since I got back from break. I need to get a set of gaiters to go with my walking stuff so I dont get soaked. Probably said this before, but how do people deal with the continual grey skies and piles of nasty dirty snow in Chicagoland? Schaumburg has some of the best sidewalk system I have ever seen, but they don't salt it. I can't wait to get the bike back out. I am here all next month and if I time my waking up, I might be able to catch an hour or so of sun at the end of the work day. Oh to put just 20 miles on a bike right now at good speed would make me elated.
You reading this? Let me know especially if you live in Charlotte NC or Schaumburg.
Peace, love and competition

Most international visits by presidents and prime ministers are business-as-usual affairs. Agreements that have been in the works for some time are signed with a ceremonial flourish, but little of a game-changing or truly strategic nature emerges.
Such business-as-usual exercises are not meaningless. They are useful occasions to lend political support at the highest level to ongoing relations. But these are not remembered.

The stars of science fiction name their favorite novels
These kinds of lists are utterly pointless and terribly fun. m.guardian.co.uk
William Gibson The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester (1957) The idea of literary "favourites" makes me uneasy, but Alfred Bester's 1957 novel The Stars My Destination has remained very close to the top of my list for science fiction, since I first discovered it as a child (though I much prefer Bester's original title Tiger, Tiger, which was evidently deemed too arthouse for the trade). Bester was an urbane and successful Mad Av dandy, an anomaly among American SF writers of his day, and his best work is deliciously redolent of the brains and flash and bustle of postwar Manhattan. TSMD is a retelling of Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, its protagonist one Gully Foyle, lumpenprole untermensch turned revenging angel in a world utterly transformed by the discovery that teleportation is a natural and teachable human talent. Perfectly surefooted, elegantly pulpy, dizzying in its pace and sweep, TSMD is still as much fun as anything I've ever read. When I was lifting the literary equivalent of weights, in training for my own first novel, it was my talisman: evidence of how many different kinds of ass one quick narrative could kick. And that sheen of exuberant postwar modernism? They just aren't making any more of that.

My boyfriend and I do this but he likes it when i have my legs open becouse i am a big lady and o.m.g i love this position we do it all the time.
This variation of Doggy Style position is straightforward; the receiver is on all fours (but with legs closed), with their partner crouches holding on to the receiver's bottom or sides. Although Bulldog is popular with most givers, some receivers need time to open up to it due to the lack of face-to-face contact. That being said, once they do, they usually become big fans of it as well.
A sharp unexpected ass slap gets the adrenalin pumping, makes her heart pound and can give a more intense orgasm. You have to keep her in a sate of suspense. She should never know when to expect the slap. It may help to restrain her hands or legs so she knows you have complete control over her body. You can also grab a handful of her hair close to her scalp and pull. This is a good opportunity to tell her all the nasty things you are going to do to her now that she is under your control. Submissive women love this.
I LOVE confident men like you! When a guy knows exactly what he wants to do to me and has the balls to just do it without asking i get sooo turned on and i become his submissive slut. I will do anything he tells me to do and he can do whatever he wants to me. It was a guy like you who made me do ass to mouth for the first time lol!
What's the hottest thing you've ever done for a guy?
you rule dude. i was too shy to ever do any more than just a small smack--thought i'd get smacked instead. but i recently did what you said here...the big smack, a decent hair pull, and i told her some really dirty shit. gave her very intense multiple orgasms, she loved it. i wouldn't say she's submissive tho, but has got a slutty side that loved it.
hell yes, I can attest to that!
I encourage all men/women to try this position on their partner(s) at least once in their life...very sexually intense position. There's a strong feeling of domination that comes with it as well which is hugely satisfying. 11/10 for this.
couldn't agree more!! :)
still one of my favorites when having 3 way sex , my cousin takes the front and gets head while I take the rear position and wear that ass out......works great for us!! Sometimes I share the rear with him........
I want to try that.
this was so great! felt so tight and he was so close.
My girl is so small only about 4'9 and she is so tight she makes me cum so fast when we try this or any other position
this looks yummy. i soooo want to try this. maybe ill find a man in my area who will do this with me and likes it rough.
My wife calls it the wolf because I usually wrap my arms around her waist. I can get in really deep that way.
My GF and I love this position but call it "ratfuck" and change it up a bit. She puts here face flat on the bed and I put a hand on the back of her neck and one on her back to balance myself. She arches her back and puts her ass up so I can enter her pussy and then drop my weight straight down and slam my cock in her over and over. She reaches back with her hands and spreads her ass cheeks for the added visual effect.....its hot! **Be very careful** If you pull your cock out too far, it can popup and slam in her ass! Believe me...its not good!! lol! As the giver, you better be in shape cause if you last a long time it is exhausting! Well worth the effort though! Try it...enjoy!
I love fucking this way.... I love the feel of the guys balls hitting me, oh that gets me sooo hot!
this position looks hot. can't wait to try it with my boyfriend!
never done anal before is feeling good
This is a great position to spank a woman's ass (Because she's holding it up high for you), while you are pounding her deeply, and getting her pussy as tight as a drum. If you're well endowed and a woman starts to loosen up after having sex for you for awhile, put her in this position and she'll be tight once again.
Why do guys like to smack the girl's butt? the first time my bf did he was like "is that ok" and now he does it all the time and he loves doin it.
Speaking for myself, there's nothing quite like the feel of a beautiful ass under your palm. ;) It just adds excitement to the encounter, especially if the girl enjoys getting spanked. Plus, some girls tend to tense up (if you know what I mean) when you slap their ass.
:cool: Wyldnight :cool:
OH MY GOSH i love this style i gives my bf a wounderful view of ever thign n if h gets tired of thurstign or whatever u wana call it lol i can start doing the work lol
so much better when the girls legs are open and u are repeatedly hit with his bolocks in just the right places... hmmmmm so good
oh my god so true. like the harder he pushes, the more his balls hit my pussy everytime he goes in and out. and the farther my legs are spread the deeper he can go and it feels sooo amazing.
We usually end our love making with this one. Once my wife has climaxed enough, and wants a break, she will turn around and let me go at it in this position. As you pointed out, she likes the way my balls hit her bum as we reciprocate. Awesome!
yes i like 2 fuck like this hmmm
i love anything that has to do with the doggie style!!
my boyfriend loves it too!! i think he just loves touching me as well... haha!
i'm a virgin but i've been talking to my man about what to try after missionary...any good suggestions? if u make a suggestion i'll check it out(: and does it really hurt as bad as everyone makes it seem?
it will hurt the first time but dont worry it gets a lot better :)
like the other person said, foreplay is good :)
gotta warm up the oven before you bake the cake ;)
cowgirl is fun. Also try doggy style but if you do it on carpet, don't forget to put somethin under ur knees and palms. :) It doesn't hurt as long as he prepares u very well, foreplay is very nice. ^_^
this is my favorite!!!!! (purring like a female leopard in the heat,) I love the animalistic ways of sex, for instance... When you meet someone you like and you like them and you can kind of feel like sexy bond like you knew that person for years and they just said hi... you wait a few months and know a little more about them and then you just happen to call them and it ends up they've been asking around for you too... the sex between us is just so pure and animalistic and fucking amazing. He is my mate. That's my mate! I've been with my bitch for two years, and this move never gets old. I love when his thighs rubs against my ass while we thrust against each other's bodies, becoming one... He bites my back too! I like a little bit of pain it reminds me how passionately he loves me and of his life frustrations I love when he takes out his pain on me. if you have a prey that you wanna make your mate put some effort into it. Like this! lol
i was in the bathroom one night and i had just got out of the shower and my bf came in and pulled the towl off me and he bent me down and stuck his large ass dick in my pussy and it was so awsome it felt amazing we love this postion
My sweetie's legs are always together when I'm behind her like this. Having her legs together improves everything, including the already amazing view. I didn't really used to like doggy that much but I've been a fan now for quite a while. It's a great position because either partner can do the work while the other holds still, or you can both bang together. Even though things often dry out for us in this position, we like it a lot because it's so queefy and if we couldn't laugh together we wouldn't be having sex together either. I love to grab her boobs and pull her into more of a sitting position and let her butt sink as low as it can.
Me and my girl friend just lost our virginity to each other the other night, Im just wondering are condoms supposed to be skin tight, It was the largest they had and I could barley fit it on
I suggest she go on the pill just in case? or something else?
sounds like you are at high risk of the condom breaking
it is the only way to offer full protection. also it depends on where the pressure is too because if it is more skin tight at the base of the shaft then it can function similar to a cock ring and keep a person hard
hey guys , this here site is awe summ . Just ordered some videos and some of the oils and this version of the doggy stile is f*****g great when in a 3 way, while im f*****g my friend she can be giving a B**w job to my cuz and greatt!!
my girl and i like this position , because we dont hav to look at one another while we do it. it feels nice but my legs are sure getting stronger
my ex - wife loves this position but my dick is so large that it squeezes it too much and it hurts , i've tried it on a few other women but i have the same problem....even tried extra lube and it still hurts my dick...any suggestions , thanks for your input L
I love this. Question for women though, does your vagina sometimes make a hell of a lot of noise with this one?
it makes loads of noise but you cant hear it over my screams
ya it can get really embarrassing
i was lookin at this little movie clip thingy and noticed somthin.... the guy has no C*ck
Oh yeah hahahahahaha
This guy has no cock hahaha
Holy cow!! I want my bf doing me like this!!!!!
When were fuckin i can open my leggs a lil more where i can put my viboooorator in my p&$$y and lrt him pound it in my ass i never had an orgasm like that especially when i have control of the viborator i can go as fast as i want wit it only problem after i get to wet it gets lil messy but worth it
that is sooooo fucking hot :) my gf loves to be dominated so i say were guna do this tonite :D
My sex buddy has office with a window that starts at the middle and so this one is amazing to do wihout anyone knowing.

Skill Level Advanced
As you can see I have escaped out of the dialog box just so I can take a moment to save a progress file, and it's called Stem and symbols.ai. I will go ahead and marquee that Half an apple once again. Go to the Appearance panel and click on 3D Revolve, in order to bring up 3D Revolve Options dialog box. I will click on Map Art, and we will see that the first surface is that right Half of the apple right there. So I will go ahead and bring up the symbol popup menu and then I will scroll down to the symbols that I created and click on right half. Notice that the symbol appears automatically aligned to that surface, and the reason they're so well aligned with each other is, because they're ultimately the exact same shape.
However, that may not be the way it is for you. You may be trying to map very large pieces of artwork onto a surface, what have you. So you may need to scale the symbol. You can do so by dragging these bounding box handles right there. You can also drag outside of one of the corners to rotate that artwork. Or you can just go ahead and click on the Scale to Fit button, and let Illustrator do it automatically. Anyway, as I say in our case it's not necessary. So I will advance through the next surface which is that left half of the Apple. I will click on the Symbol popup menu, scroll down to the bottom, and turn on left half and then we will advance two surfaces to that core right there and I'll once again bring up the Symbol menu, scroll to the bottom, and click this time on core.
Now in this case my artwork isn't scaled to the right size, because after all I don't know how big that core is. So I just went ahead and drew any old rectangle. Illustrator has gone ahead and scaled it in this space, but I may need to do some further scaling by dragging these bounding box handles, like so. I just want to make sure it more or less covers up that surface. Again, I can click on the Scale to Fit button and let Illustrator do it for me. That looks pretty good to me. Now if I want a sense of what I've done just to confirm that I've done it all properly, then I turn on the Preview check box and let it rip.
So even though the Preview check box is off outside in the 3D Revolve Options dialog box, you can turn it on here inside the Map Art dialog box. I am now seeing all of my surfaces mapped exactly the way I would expect them to. There is no gaps notice this time. So whereas we had gaps between the red stroke and the gradient fill, when we had a gradient fill, we had those gray gaps going on. We don't see those gaps if we take the time to apply those gradients as symbols using the Map Art function. Now notice there is a couple of check boxes down here at the bottom.
We've got Shade Artwork. That's a pretty important one, because basically the idea, notice that Illustrator is shading the surfaces that I haven't mapped artwork onto. However, anything that I've mapped artwork onto is being covered up by the art. So we are not shading those areas at all. If you want to bring the symbols into the shading, then you need to turn on that check box and it's a good idea to at least check things out and see if you like the effect. Now it is very slow. The check box hasn't even responded to the fact I clicked on it. Now we are seeing a progress bar, which is nice, and now we are seeing the shading and the check box on.
I don't like it at all. I think it looks muddy and murky and pretty well awful. So I am going to turn that check box off, but I don't want to wait for another preview. So I am just going to turn the Preview check box off this time. Then turn the check box off. Notice that we also have this Invisible Geometry check box that just goes ahead and allows you to see through unmapped surfaces. We don't want that either. We don't want a hollow apple. So I will go ahead and click OK to accept those modifications. I don't need a preview. I'm pretty sure everything is just fine. I will click OK again, in order to escape the dialog box.
Then you wait for a progress bar and you will see the effect previewed inside the illustration window. Now I like the way this looks, but I don't love it. I do want some kind of shading going on. I didn't like what Illustrator came up with, so I am going to come up with something of my own and I will show you what that looks like. Switchover to layers panel, turn on the more layer; again, if you're working along with me, and then twirl it open, and notice that there is one hidden object called Shade. Go ahead and turn that object on, and all it is if I meatball it, you'll see that it's just an ellipse.
It's filled with radial gradient and the great thing about radial gradients inside of ellipse is, if you grab the Scale tool and you go ahead and scale this artwork and make it really narrow like this, you scale the ellipse along with it. So check it out. I will switchover to the Gradient tool and you can see that I now have an elliptical gradient. So it's far narrower than it is tall. So Illustrator has really gotten smart about the way it handles gradients in the last two versions. Anyway, I don't want that. So I will press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on the Mac to undo that scale.
Press the V key to switch back to the Black Arrow tool, so I get rid of the gradient annotator. Now this is, if you check out the Gradient panel here, you'll see that this is a two color gradient theoretically. It's actually the exact same shade of brown repeated twice. So over here in the first color stop and the last color stop, the difference between the color stops is all opacity. So if I double-click in the second one, you can see that I've set the opacity to 0. The opacity of the first color stop by the way is 100%. Now then I want to create some interaction between this shape and the background, so I'm going to go up to Opacity here in the Control panel and I'm giving change the Blend mode from Normal to Hard Light.
That's the one that just ended up producing the best effect and I end up getting this effect right here. So a little bit of shading on the inside of that Apple and that's it. So I will go ahead and close at panel, and you know what, I am going to bring this object into the Apple layer. So I will drag that orange square down into the Apple layer, like so. Then I will go ahead and twirl close more and turn off that layer as well. You know what, that doesn't look quite right to me. That's too much color on the interior than Apple. So I think I will back off the Opacity. I am going to twirl open the Apple layer, because that's where the shade object is now, and click on it, that is meatball it to make it active.
Then I will go back up to my opacity value, and I'm going to reduce it to say 50% in order to achieve that effect. I think that looks much better. So this is what the interior of the Apple looks like without that shading, if I turn the shade object off, and this is what it looks like with that effect. So just a little bit of colorful shading to indicate sort of that browness toward the center of the Apple. In the next exercise we are going to customize the lighting effects that are applied to the exterior of the object.

2010 USC preview: Breakout player
It's time to roll out our USC season preview, in four parts.
The first three -- keys to the offense and defense, and 2010's breakout player, all with accompanying polls -- are headed your way today. Part 4 -- an analysis of the biggest obstacles the Trojans face this season -- is on tap for Saturday.
Johnson might have had a breakout year in 2009, but he broke his collarbone late in training camp and never was quite the same. He finished with 34 catches but averaged just 11.1 yards per reception and had only three touchdowns (down from 17.3 and eight in '08). Now the senior is healthy and playing faster than he ever has, and he's the clear-cut No. 1 receiver with Damian Williams having graduated. Quarterback Matt Barkley also will be better after an inconsistent freshman campaign. Expect Barkley-to-Johnson to be among the nation's most prolific pass-catch combinations.

☞ Fact-Based Living
By webmink on Feb 16, 2010
Yet another illustration why the proposed three-strikes laws are unbalanced and unjust. The onus continues to be on the accused to prove innocence, usually at great cost and after summary judgment. This cannot be allowed to stand; we need to educate the general population about why it's their freedoms at risk and not those of anonymous abusers.
I've been highlighting this thread of thought (SJVN's post is just an example) to my counterpart at Oracle who tells me the information vacuum is not a guaranteed indicator of bad stuff. Moveover, some of these assertions aren't accurate. For example, Kenai is not being shut down - it is merely being reskinned and rebranded as Java.Net as an act of consolidation. So my advice continues to be to hold on and wait for news rather than assuming the worst.
Seems Amazon US has started providing a URL for the list of free tracks posted for the week. Very handy. I like all but one of these, well worth a visit.

How I Survived Being a Working Mom and College StudentLisa Quinones-Fontanez
Five years ago, my son Norrin was diagnosed with autism. He was diagnosed the May I graduated with my Bachelor's degree. That September, I started Graduate School.
This past May, I graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts (creative writing).
This is the first time in nearly ten years that I'm not trying to juggle being a working mom and college student.
People keep asking me how it feels to be finally finished after spending the last 20 years (yes, 20) in and out of college. Honestly, it feels like something is missing. Which is crazy because I still work full time, have a 7-year-old with autism, and freelance at night – I have plenty to keep me occupied.
And when people ask me how I managed to "do it all." I usually shrug it off.
Recently, my friend Jo – an awesome blogger and mom of two boys – shared a Facebook post about going back to school:
It's possible I may have believed that going back to college in your 30s meant you just had to show up. Also, contrary to popular belief, not everyone outgrows the fine art of procrastination. The only real difference is that now when I put school work off, it's not so much because I have a budding social life and classes to ditch as it is that I have dishes in the sink and mouths to feed.
When I read Jo's status, I knew exactly what she meant. Being a college student and mother is a completely different experience. Moms don't have the luxury of living the life of a student. Being a working mom in college requires a lot of juggling. (And usually opting to wash the dishes instead of read the assigned chapters). It made me think about the last 20 years and how I survived being a working mom and college student.
6 Tips to Balancing Work, Parenthood, and School
Be Realistic. This was probably the hardest lesson for me. It was tough seeing so many of my classmates graduate and move on while I was left behind. I had to constantly remind myself of our differences. My classmates didn't have the responsibilities I had. I couldn't take 3 or 4 classes at a time. I had to take one class a semester. That's what I knew worked for me.
Know Your Priorities and Know They Will Change. Being a working mom, wife and student wasn't easy. It was impossible to give 100% to each of my responsibilities all of the time, so I really had to prioritize on a daily basis. I did what I could, when I could. Some nights, I had to skip class to stay late at work or to be with my family. Some weekends, I had to spend a day away from my husband and son to get schoolwork done.
Be Honest and Build a Relationship with Professors. All of my professors knew I had a young son with autism and that I worked full time during the day. If I had to miss a class for any reason, I emailed them. If I fell behind on readings or assignments, I reached out and asked for an extension. And when I found a relationship that was especially understanding, I registered for their classes again.
Plan Ahead. I always had a plan. I was always thinking about the next semester. As soon as one semester was over, I was emailing the professors for next semester, inquiring about the syllabus and reading list. If I could purchase books over the break and get a head start, I felt more in control.
Know When You Need to Take a Break. It took me 15 years to get my Bachelor's Degree and another 5 for my Masters. But I took many, many breaks in between semesters. The constant juggling would become physically and emotionally exhausting. I knew when I was feeling burned out and I knew when I needed time to regroup. After taking a semester off, I'd return feeling refreshed and more motivated then before.
Have a Support System. I couldn't have made it through my college years without my support system: my parents, husband, son, and friends. There were so many times when I wanted to quit and give up – they encouraged me to keep going. And toward the end of the semester, when things got really hectic, I knew there were people (my mom and husband) who could help with laundry, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of Norrin. Yes, there were moments when I felt guilty and selfish. And during those moments, my support system reminded me that the time I spent away from Norrin was really all for him.
Earlier this month at a conference, wise Babble contributor, Jeanette Kaplun, said something during a panel discussion that resonated with me. She said, "I believe you can do it all. Just not all by yourself and not all at once." That's the attitude a parent needs to have when they make the decision to return to school.

"bios [torah]" Installation
An industrial robot writes a Torah. It does not use digital printing techniques to do this, but adopts the human act of writing. Using pen and ink, it writes at the speed of a human a total of 304,805 Hebrew letters on an 80-meter roll of paper.
The installation "bios [torah]" by the artist group robotlab refers to the activity of Torah writing performed in the Jewish tradition by a specially trained scribe, the Sofer. While the Sofer guarantees the sanctity of the Scripture, the installation highlights its industrial reproducibility. It simulates a centuries-old cultural technique that has long since been overtaken by media developments.
The Torah written by the industrial robot is not kosher – its origins fulfill neither the material nor the immaterial requirements of Jewish religious law. The robot does not distinguish between parchment and paper. It also has no blessings. It writes what and how it is programmed to do.
The installation title refers to an elementary component of computer technology, the Basic Input Output System (BIOS). BIOS is the system upon which all other computer programs build and is thus as fundamental to the development of the machine as Scriptures are to the cultural history of mankind.
The artist group robotlab examines the relationship between man and machine, using industrial robots time and again in its public installations and performances. robotlab creates experimental designs that allow new perspectives on the body and the mechanical movements of robots. Thus they anticipate a look into a future where robots have become a visible part of daily life in society.

One of Kansas City's largest office buildings is closed after a broken fire sprinkler pipe flooded the basement.
The 30-story office tower, called 1201 Walnut, is expected to be closed at least through Thursday and possibly the rest of the week.
Copaken Brook, the building landlord, said a fire sprinkler pipe broke on the first floor Tuesday evening, sending water into the basement and damaging key building systems.
The Kansas City Star reports more than 1,000 employees work in the building. The law firm Stinson Leonard Street is the main tenant.
Copaken Broooks CEO Troy Marquis said at least two pipes had been frozen by the recent weather in Kansas City, when temperatures dropped below zero.

This month's mentor spotlight is Scott Nesbit, also known as "coach" because almost everyone at St. Olaf College calls him that. His mentee is Elky L. Ratliff, a junior at Central High School. Read below to learn more about "coach."
At St. Olaf College, Scott is the Men's and Women's tennis coach. An equally important part of his job is teaching Physical Education classes. He teaches courses like tennis, Ultimate Frisbee, sports and games, racquet sports, and fly-fishing/fly-tying.
Scott grew up in suburban Minneapolis, MN. He attended the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire where he majored in History and minored in Coaching in Secondary Education. For the first five years after graduation, he taught junior high United States History and World Geography while coaching soccer and tennis. He and his wife eventually moved to Chicago so she could attend graduate school in Psychology. There, Scott was a part-time college tennis instructor and coach. He also had another job teaching tennis at indoor athletic clubs.
Scott knew that he really enjoyed teaching and coaching at the college level so he asked his boss (the athletic director) what was required to do this job full-time. His boss told him he needed to get a Master's degree in Physical Education. After two years of hard work, Scott completed his Master's degree. He was excited and ready to get a college coaching and teaching job. He sent out resumes and applications to many colleges but only got one interview. Sadly, he did not get the job so he went back to teaching tennis at indoor athletic clubs. A year later, he heard about an open tennis teaching and coaching position at St. Olaf College. Scott was hesitant to apply at first because his current job was going so well. However, his wife reminded him that his heart was really in teaching and coaching at the college level. So Scott applied, got an interview and got the job at St. Olaf!
Scott is now in his twenty-fifth year at St. Olaf and has been very happy there. He and his wife raised two daughters who both attended St. Olaf College. His eldest daughter graduated in 2012 as an English major. Upon graduation, she worked for an organization similar to Upward Bound. She worked as a coach for low-income high school juniors. The goal of the program was to help them get to and succeed in college. She helped the students with ACT test preparation, went with them to college fairs, and encouraged them to study hard in their current high school classes. This daughter is currently in graduate school studying English. His other daughter is a junior at St. Olaf studying Psychology. She sings in an awesome band and has a beautiful heart of serving others in need. Both of his daughters have been motivating factors for him becoming involved as an Upward Bound mentor.
Scott's advice to Upward Bound students: "Take advantage of the help and support that UB offers. You have the benefit of being surrounded by caring people who want to help you. You have hard work ahead of you, but it will be worth it. You have made a wise decision to be in Upward Bound. Keep up the good stuff."
An interesting fact about Scott is that he enjoys knitting.

Crohn's Disease Health Center
Crohn's Disease and Pregnancy
In this article
Tests and Procedures
You may need tests to monitor your Crohn's while you're pregnant. Some are OK, but there are other tests you may want to put off until after your baby is born. Your doctor can guide you on this decision.
- Ultrasounds, MRIs, and fetal monitoring devices are considered safe. If you are on steroids or have moderate to severe flares while pregnant, you may have frequent ultrasounds to check on your baby's growth.
- X-rays and CT scans may be necessary during pregnancy. To limit radiation exposure, abdominal shielding can be used.
- It's considered safe to have a flexible sigmoidoscopy, where a tube with a camera is placed in your colon to look for any problems. It is probably not a good idea to have a colonoscopy. The tests take a long time and patients usually get drugs to put them to sleep.
You should also avoid X-rays and CT scans if possible. The radiation isn't good for a developing baby.
Delivery and Breastfeeding
Discuss your labor and delivery plans with your doctor well before your due date.
- If you have fistulas, abnormal passageways between organs, or other areas around your vagina or rectum that have been affected by Crohn's, your doctor may recommend you have a C-section.
If you plan to breastfeed, talk to your doctor about your medications and if they're safe for your new baby. Breastfeeding shouldn't make your Crohn's worse, and it offers many health benefits to you and your baby.

Earned Income Tax Credit^
Income Tax Rate: Graduated 2-6 percent
State EITC: No
Notes/News: In December 2012, the Governor's Blue Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform's final report recommended creating a state EITC at 15 percent of the federal credit. In February 2014, the Governor proposed a tax reform plan that would have created a refundable EITC at 7.5 percent of the federal credit.
In 2016, lawmakers are considering a bill to create a refundable EITC. It is currently in a House committee awaiting approval.

Eligibility: Same as the federal credit.
Formula: Filers may claim a credit equal to 20 percent of their federal credit, not to exceed the filer's tax liability, up to $210 for one child and $420 for two or more children.
Notes/News: The Kentucky Office of State Budget Director estimates that Kentuckians will claim approximately $8.3 million worth of state child and dependent care credits in FY 2012.1
In 2012 Kentucky advocates worked to expand the CDCTC and make it refundable. Because in 2012 the state faces a significant budget crunch, the governor did not include this change in his budget proposal. However, the governor has formed a tax commission to make recommendations by November 2012 and an expanded CDCTC could be one of the recommendations of that commission.

Hopkins MW resume vs Sturms MW resume. Whos is really better & who would win?
If you look at Hopkins MW title wins and the natural MWs who he fought (not eithers losses), so that means not De La Hoya or Trinidad who were naturally smaller fighters, but the Joppys, Holmes, Echoles etc
Then look at Sturms MW title wins consisting of -
B Schenk former WBO MW champ
J Castillo WBA MW champ
S Sylvester former IBF MW champ became champ after losing to Sturm
plus other names -
H Cherifi past his best former WBC MW champ
G Lorenzo alledged future Pavlik opponent
K Gevor title challenger at MW & SMW
K Sato (undefeated)
R Griffin
J Pittman (undefeated)
N G Alcoba (undefeated)
M Maseo
R Varon
H J Velazco
You find that their MW resumes arent as far apart as people would like you to believe.
We know Hopkins has a problem dealing with fast 2 handed fighters, losing to Jones, Taylor and Calzaghe, and Sturm is a fast 2 handed fighter
So who would win at MW Hopkins or Sturm?

Hopkins didnt loose for 10 years at middleweight and fought everyone that was there to fight. Sturms reign is on its way to 10 years and in that time consists of a KO loss, a gift decision and him outright avoiding major names that passed through the division such at Taylor, Winky, Pavlik, Williams and Sergio.
When there were no names at 160, Hopkins fought guys coming up and then moved up in weight himself to make the big fights with Tarver, Pavlik, Dawson, Winky, Pascal and Calzaghe.
You really have to go out on a limb to even compare them which is why you want to throw out the Trinidad middleweight win even though it was a middleweight defense after trinidad KOed a full size middleweight his last fight. Theres no reason to believe trinidad couldnt KO some of those guys with less than 20 fights that Sturm has been fighting.

The 25-year-old missed the first half of last season with a heel problem, and the club are keen to do all they can to make sure he starts the new campaign fully fit.
A statement on the club's website said: "After assessment by the Club's medical experts, it was decided to let the England international rest for both remaining games and receive intensive treatment to ensure he is fit for the start of the season.
"It should be clear that the affected area is not in any way associated with the previous injury he successfully overcame towards the end of last season."
The Hammers face Wellington Phoenix in Auckland on Wednesday morning before travelling to Wellington to play Sydney FC on Saturday.

The Pros:Fast rendering. Download manager. "Speed dial" favourite page thumbnails.
The Cons:Not supported by all sites. Lacks Firefox's extension pool. Integrated torrent client not as resource efficient and functional as some dedicated torrent software.
Opera is a web browser and internet suite developed by the Opera Software company. The browser handles common Internet-related tasks such as displaying websites, sending and receiving e-mail messages, managing contacts, IRC online chatting, downloading files via BitTorrent, and reading web feeds.
Opera is offered free of charge for personal computers and mobile phones, but for other devices it must be paid for.
Features of Opera include tabbed browsing, page zooming, mouse gestures, and an integrated download manager. Its security features include built-in phishing and malware protection, strong encryption when browsing secure web sites, and the ability to easily delete private data such as HTTP cookies.
Opera runs on a variety of personal computer operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Evaluations of Opera have been largely positive, and it has innovated or pioneered many key features of modern browsers. Despite these factors, Opera has captured only a small fraction of the worldwide personal computer browser market. It does, though, have a stronger market share on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, and personal digital assistants. Editions of Opera are available for devices using the Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems, as well as Java ME-enabled devices. Approximately 40 million mobile phones have shipped with Opera pre-installed. Opera is the only commercial web browser available for the Nintendo DS and Wii gaming systems. Some television set-top boxes use Opera. Adobe Systems has licensed Opera technology for use in the Adobe Creative Suite.
Opera started out as a research project in Norway's largest telecom company, Telenor, in 1994, and branched out into an independent development company named Opera Software ASA in 1995. Opera Software develops the Opera Web browser, a high-quality, multi-platform product for a wide range of platforms, operating systems and embedded Internet products.
Opera's vision is to deliver the best Internet experience on any device. Opera's key business objective is to earn global leadership in the market for PC/desktops and embedded products. Opera's main business strategy is to provide a browser that operates across devices, platforms and operating systems, and can deliver a faster, more stable and flexible Internet experience than its competitors.
Opera Software ASA is an industry leader in the development of Web browsers for the desktop, device and mobile markets. The Opera browser has received international recognition from end-users and the industry press for being faster, smaller and more standards-compliant than other browsers, and it has gathered a cult following on the net.

The amount of settings and functions can be a overwhelming for new users.
over-complicated UI
slow performance
I started with IE and later FF, but then I found Opera. I have used Safari on mac and tried Chrome and Safari on Windows. I still them all for testing. But Opera just is the better tool. A swiss knife compared to a butterknive.
It contains everything I need and more, without the need for extra plug-ins.
The best things are it's speed and light weight.
I'm at the moment runnning Opera with 8 windows containing 203 tabs!!! and the email client. And it stays fast as ever!
I use a window for the mail and links I open form there, one for studies, and separate windows for the projects I work on. I've first started working like this with a similar amount of tabs on my old Pentium 4 (2.8GHz 1GB): I was used to Firefox crashing or getting real slow after a few hours until I noticed the enormous amount of data I could have for reference without having to reopen everything every few minutes for bookmarks.
When I'm not working on a project for some time I save the window. The only problem is restarting the browser, all these windows have to reload :P
Second best are the mouse gestures. I use the back and forward buttons on my mouse to switch between tabs and the gestures (that are faster) to do the navigating.
Opera Turbo, the compression system used on the mobile-phone version of Opera allows me to surf cheap on a payed per amount connection and fast on a mobile connections, without loosing the images (which you can also easily block).
I also like Opera-link, I can work on my phones, work-pc and portable with usb-version with all my links and notes and contacts.
And how about the most secure browser, for your safety and privacy. (BTW. Use a master-password, then it's about impossible to steal your passwords)
Opera has its own rendering engine (presto) which is one of the best around. It has always been one of the best and most up-to-date engines around. This is a strong point, but also a weakness, not every website-builder knows Opera...
The only problems are in websites that are build by people that don't test there creations. Luckily more and more sites are build following to the w3c-standards.
Opera really is the best webtool I know.
Kindly update the opera logo, this one is obsoleted.

For many the historic presidential election will be memorable for all the right reasons. But William Culpepper will remember it for another reason.
"They basically denied me my American right to vote," Culpepper said.
The 22-year old said he registered to vote when he was 18 and voted in the 2004 general election, and last year's statewide elections. But when he went to the polls to vote on Tuesday, he was told there was no record of his registration or voting history.
"Very, very upset actually. And I definitely wanted to vote because I know that this was a part of history and I wanted to be part of history," said Culpepper.
Culpepper said there were others that were not allowed to vote and he's outraged and wants to know where his information is. So he questioned Lauderdale County Circuit Clerk Donna Jill Johnson.
"She said that she was pretty much baffled by the whole situation and that she said no records of me even voting in 2004 or 2007, so that makes me think my vote never ever counted," said Culpepper.
Johnson said on election day there were over 800 inquiries regarding voting. She couldn't pinpoint what may have happened with Culpepper's information but she says this is an unfortunate situation.
"We were unable to find this particular voter on the poll books," said Johnson. "We even researched the whole state because we have access for the whole state. And the only explanation we have with that being a common name that possibly he was voting under another name, innocently."
But Culpepper says that wasn't the case. Johnson says election commissioners do a great job of trying to keep the poll books current and accurate, but she says everyone makes mistakes.
"I want to get to the bottom of it and if I have to take legal action I will," said Culpepper.
Culpepper says he has contacted the Secretary of State's Office for further investigation.

Is it safe to try for a baby straight after a miscarriage?
Hey i know how you feel i had my second miscarriage last week, i was 10 weeks and half this time. I had my first miscarrige august the 28th 2011 and i was 9 and half weeks. I got pregnant 2 weeks after my first miscarriage, and i have to say it was the worst mistake i did, becuase i feel its my fault that i lost the second one becuase i only gave my body 2weeks to clear its self out, it was not a lot of time. In my opinion i think you should wait at least 3-6 mothns beofre trying again. I feel if i didnt get pregnant 2 weeks after my first miscarriage, that i wouldnt of lost this one and i feel awful. I should have left my body to get back to normal. They say that you shouldnt get preganant for at least another year after your miscarriage, but me and my partner are going to try again in about 6-7 months time. I hope this has helpd you in a way.Its a very hard thing to go through and im sorry that you had to go through it. x
She had a miscarriage followed by a d&c... she fell pregnant right away, and carried to term. She was initially in total shock (didn't realise it was possible to become pregnant immediately) and was still grieving following the miscarriage so she wasn't feeling happy & confident, but eventually the shock wore off and all was well.
Im so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I know how you must be feeling, I had one at 13wks in May last year. As long as you are feeling up to it I cant see that there would be a problem physically. The only thing is you must be prepared mentally. When I had my miscarriage I said I never wanted to get pregnant again, as I didnt want to go through losing a baby again. In September last year I found out I was expecting again, it took me a long time to come to terms with it as I was so scared I would have to go through a mc again. Luckily, this pregnancy is going well, Im nearly 24wks now, but there isnt a day goes by without the worry that Im still going to lose my baby. Sorry if this is a long msg but I just wanted you to know about the effect it has on you mentally.
I wish you all the best for the future, enjoy the trying!!

hi babe i am so sorry to hear of you loss, i hav been in the exact situatoin as you, i think we hav spoken before.
when it happened to me we were advised to wait until after my next period. but if i am honest that did not happen.
We stared after about a week, i had two periods which were horrible as each time i was preying i was pregnant. but i am now 17 weeks pregnant.
my aadvice would be to go with the flow and try not to stress and get caught up in trying.
just eat the right foods continue with your folic acid and with a bit of luck it wont take long
take care babe hope it happens real soon.
i am here if you wanna chat xxxxx
I m so sorry to hear about your loss ... Take care ... Dont worry u will get one ...
Good luck. Take care !
Can I be rude and ask you ladies who have suffered a miscarriage, if there were any problems earlier in your pregnancy.
My wife and I are approx. 11 weeks pregnant with our first baby, and she seems to be having quite severe cramps on a regualr basis, she spent a night in hospital last week due to very severe cramps where the doctor thought it might be eptopic, but it turns out to be cysts on her ovaries(not sure how this effects the baby or my wife).
And now she seems to be not quite right down below, it is painful when we have sex in anything other than missionary (try expalining to the doctor that it hurts when you have your legs over your husband shoulders ) and she seems to be constipated all the time and goes maybe twice a week.
Sorry if I bring up any bad memories as I am just paranoid about miscarriage, as there is quite a history in my family of 2 - 3 miscarriages before a sucesfull pregenancy.
