Sporting News' recruiting writer Brian McLaughlin predicts where the remaining members of the Sporting News top 125 will commit:
1. Andrus Peat, OL, Corona Del Sol (Tempe, Ariz.)
Considering: Florida State, Nebraska, Stanford, USC
The skinny: Peat's brother and one of his best friends are already on board with Nebraska. It's tough to see him going anywhere else.
SN's pick: Nebraska
3. Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Hillcrest (Springfield, Mo.)
Considering: Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas
The skinny: Rumors are swirling that Mizzou has already wrapped up Green-Beckham, but we're not buying it just yet. The Tigers may end up getting him, but we doubt it's already over. It'll be a Mizzou-Arkansas battle, and we've had Arkansas all along.
SN's pick: Arkansas
10. Stefon Diggs, WR, Good Counsel (Olney, Md.)
Considering: Auburn, Cal, Florida, Ohio State, USC
The skinny: Diggs is going to take some extra time to make his decision, and he'll announce Feb. 10. Keep an eye on Florida and Ohio State on this one, as Urban Meyer will sell this kid on being the next Percy Harvin.
SN's pick: Florida
12. Eddie Goldman, DT, Friendship College Academy (Washington, D.C.)
Considering: Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Miami
The skinny: With Alabama's class nearly full, it seems pretty likely that this huge defensive tackle will go with a program other than the Crimson Tide.
SN's pick: Florida State
19. Jordan Diamond, OL, Simeon (Chicago)
Considering: Arkansas, Auburn, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin
The skinny: His final visits were to Arkansas and Wisconsin, but Brady Hoke has done a great job luring outstanding linemen to this year's signing class. Give him the slight edge.
SN's pick: Michigan
31. Nelson Agholor, DB, Berkeley Prep (Tampa, Fla.)
Considering: Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC
The skinny: This will likely come down to Florida and USC, with the in-state program getting the slight nod. If we had 100 votes, we'd go 51 for Florida, 49 for USC—it's that close.
SN's pick: Florida
37. Kwon Alexander, LB, Oxford (Ala.)
Considering: Alabama, Auburn, LSU
The skinny: Alabama might be able to handle one or maybe two more recruits, but that's about it. This will be an in-state battle, and in the end, Auburn just has more room.
SN's pick: Auburn
41. Josh Harvey-Clemons, LB, Lowndes (Valdosta, Ga.)
Considering: Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Louisville
The skinny: Last year, Georgia finished strongly in the last couple of days leading up to national signing day. This will be one of the Bulldogs' last-second gems.
SN's pick: Georgia
42. Ronald Darby, DB, Potomac (Oxon Hill, Md.)
Considering: Auburn, Florida State, Maryland, Notre Dame
The skinny: This former Notre Dame commitment won't end up at South Bend after all. He will be one of Florida State's two huge pickups on signing day.
SN's pick: Florida State
— Top 125 recruits | By position: QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB
— Top 10 pre-signing day classes
— Predictions: Where the unsigned will go | DGB keeps everyone guessing | Flipping is part of the game
53. Davonte Neal, WR, Chaparral (Scottsdale, Ariz.)
Considering: Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma
The skinny: Neal is playing sort of a wait-and-see game and may not decide on national signing day. He and Diggs are similar in their playmaking ability, and they might be watching to see what the other does. Tough call here, he might stay close to home at Arizona, but then again, maybe not.
SN's pick: Ohio State
56. Kyle Murphy, OL, San Clemente (San Clemente, Calif.)
Considering: Stanford, USC
The skinny: Murphy could be another great down-the-stretch pickup for Stanford, but USC has a history of pulling off last-second stunts.
SN's pick: Stanford
57. Joel Caleb, WR, Clover Hill (Midlothian, Va.)
Considering: Clemson, Florida, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia
The skinny: Caleb, Korren Kirven and Ken Ekanem could give in-state Virginia Tech a lot of reason to celebrate Wednesday, but West Virginia certainly has a chance here.
SN's pick: Virginia Tech
60. Tracy Howard, DB, Miramar (Fla.)
Considering: Florida, LSU, Miami
The skinny: The prediction is that the Gators will finish as strongly as anybody in the nation, and this kid will be one of the reasons.
SN's pick: Florida
63. Aziz Shittu, DT, Buhach (Atwater, Calif.)
Considering: Stanford, Texas A&M
The skinny: Shittu was once committed to Stanford, and by Wednesday night, we just have the feeling that he'll be on board once again.
SN's pick: Stanford
68. Thomas Johnson, WR, Skyline (Dallas)
Considering: Cal, Oregon, Stanford, TCU
The skinny: Johnson is the flashy type of playmaker that Oregon needs in its offense.
SN's pick: Oregon
99. Korren Kirven, DT, Brookville (Lynchburg, Va.)
Considering: Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech
The skinny: Kirven goes to the same high school that current Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas attended. It'd be tough to see him leave the state.
SN's pick: Virginia Tech
102. Leonard Williams, DE, Mainland (Daytona Beach, Fla.)
Considering: Auburn, Florida, USC
The skinny: USC has made major strides with Williams, and there is a chance they wrestle Williams and Agholor away from the Gators. Those are probably the best two chances for Florida to lose a big in-stater.
SN's pick: Florida
111. Ken Ekanem, LB, Centreville (Clifton, Va.)
Considering: Notre Dame, Virginia Tech
The skinny: Ekanem could be the third huge pickup of the day for Virginia Tech.
SN's pick: Virginia Tech
— Top 125 recruits | By position: QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB
— Top 10 pre-signing day classes
— Predictions: Where the unsigned will go | DGB keeps everyone guessing | Flipping is part of the game

Featured Golf News
Changes Made for Local Final Qualifying for British Open
From 2010 and forward, Open Championship Local Final Qualifying (LFQ) will incorporate a change of format and be repositioned in an attempt to alleviate a congested golfing calendar and make it more convenient for players.
For next year's Open at St. Andrews, LFQ will be staged a week earlier than in the past, taking place two weeks before the start of the Open and giving qualifying players more time to prepare for golf's oldest championship.
Four venues will be used for LFQ rather than three. Each will host a field of 72 competitors who will now play 36 holes in one day. The three previously announced LFQ venues for each year will remain, however, one course has been added for 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Open Championship 2010 at St. Andrews - Scotscraig has been added to the Torrance course at Fairmont St. Andrews, Ladybank and Kingsbarns Links.
Open Championship 2011 at Royal St George's - Rye has been added to Prince's, Royal Cinque Ports and Littlestone.
Open Championship 2012 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes - The West Lancashire has been added to Hillside, Southport & Ainsdale and St. Annes Old Links.
This year's LFQ events will be held on July 6 and 7, as previously announced, at Glasgow - Gailes Links, Western Gailes and Kilmarnock (Barassie). Thirty-six holes will be played over the two days with 96 players competing for four Open berths at each of the three venues.
This year's Open Championship will be held at Turnberry on July 16-19.

It's February now...Time for a new chat thread. I don't know why I'm always the one to start a new thread. Just seems once they get past 10 pages I can't keep track of everyone. And I like starting over again!
I am pretty sure we are all hitting 3rd tri. now, right?? Even the end of April girls should be hitting 27 weeks.
How is everyone feeling?? Seems like we're all getting pretty chatty again like we were in the beginning.
I've been working A LOT and not getting nearly enough done around the house. Tonight we have a carpet person coming to measure for new carpets in the bedrooms and I have a lot to do to get things straightened up before he comes. But I'm excited to get new carpets. I"m not going to be working any extra shifts anymore and I am going to try to focus on getting ready. I sure could use some of that nesting energy to hit me soon!!
I've been feeling okay just tired and I have a headache but its because I ran out of contacts and the new ones aren't in yet. I'm going crazy. The only glasses I have are old and give me a headache. I ordered new contacts yesterday but I'm guessing they won't be in until the end of the week. Its really very annoying!!
I am starting to outgrow the maternity clothes I bought early on. I went to motherhood yesterday and got 4 bras and 2 shirts. I was stuffing my poor boobs into a way too small bra. The girls feel much better in the bras I got- and they are nursing bras so hopefully they will last me a while.
oh and in case you missed my message on the last chat thread.... for you preterm labor peeps....STOP CONTRACTING!!
Thanks for starting a new thread.
Starcat-I'm glad you won't have to work as much. I can't imagine that. I know you must be exhausted. Hoping nesting mode hits soon for you too! So much to get done isn't there?? I'm hopeless without my contacts too! You actually reminded me that I need to order some more. I wear my glasses at home but only when I have to!
Nerdymom-I'm glad you didn't have to say the night in l and d! Those are the MOST uncomfortable beds EVER. When I went to my dr's office I was joking that I didn't know how women spent hours in labor on those beds hooked up to monitors and they said it's only by the grace of an epidural. Stay hydrated and get some rest!
I had a rough night. I woke up after about 3 hours with contractions but nothing super regular. I finally had to get up and get something to eat and drink and I buried myself in a mound of pillows on our sectional and was finally able to get back to sleep. Only 6 or so hours of sleep total. Bleh. Today is a nap day for sure if my 3yo will cooperate. She's really outgrowing naps but I'm going to push them for the next few weeks. The kids will go with my IL's for a few hours tomorrow and they're actually taking them to the circus on Friday so that will help. One day at a time.
I'm just SO glad I went crazy with the nesting in January. My house is decluttered so we just have to focus on sweeping, dishes, etc and getting baby things. I'm so glad we sprang for a new sectional right after Christmas too. It's amazing and just in time!
I'm starting to wrap my mind around the fact that I'm probably having a baby next month. Crazy!!!
Slept horribly. But not nearly as horribly as I would have in L&D that is for sure. Those beds are the modern equivalent of the rack. I had a planned HB last time, I was in labor for about 36 hours before we transferred, I remember little of the hospital amenities. If that is what I have to look forward to, I'm going to UC at home!!! Ouchie, no wonder so many women get epis.
Having some BH this morning, just my usual, no cramping or pain this time, praise be. We've got to go fetch DS from my mom's house this morning. I wonder how he did overnight. He's never spent the night over there before. I also have a hair appointment scheduled and I'll be darned if I miss that. I haven't had a haircut in over a year! I've been outgrowing an ill-chosen pixie and now that it is below my shoulders I feel like it's time to do something new. Plus, I have GREY HAIR. I'll turn 25 on April 21st. I am not amused. That's right. Grey hair before the age of 25. :'( So I figure if I'm going to go gray early, I might as well have a nice haircut.
And we are joyfully awaiting a new addition in April 2011! <><
Starcat- I have outgrown the first set of maternity clothes I bought too. I found that I tend to outgrow the 2nd set during the last month where I just give up and wear huge over sized t-shirts around the house with pajama pants under my belly.
Stacey- Hopefully you get your nap and those contractions stay away.
Nerdymom- The same goes for your contractions! Hoping they don't return and you can get some rest too.
Everyone in my house (including me) is sick with bad colds. We all know what happens to pregnant ladies if they cough too much. Ick. DH keeps telling me he is going to buy me some diapers. I'm lucky to get more than a couple hours of sleep without waking up to cough/pee/drink water/rearrange pillows. So that's my whine of the day. :(
Mama to 5 busy bees (12, 9, 7, 3, 2) and expecting #6 June/2014

Hello! Glad to see a new thread. The other one got too long for me to keep up with
Hope you ladies with cntx see them disappear for several more weeks!
nerdymom, I'm 25 and regularly pull 3 or 4 gray hairs from my head :( I can handle those, but no more please!
Nothing much happening with me. Last week at my 30 wk appt the mw measured me at 35 weeks, so she ordered a growth u/s. I'll have that in a few hours. By the evening there's a sharp pain with numbness on my left ribs that radiates to my back that leaves me useless, and the pubic pain is starting to rear it's ugly head, and I'm already starting to feel short of breath while working out, but that's all normal pregnancy stuff for me. I'm really feeling pretty good!
Looking forward to keeping up with you ladies this month!
always missing our (11/04, 4/07, 8/07, 5/10)
oh my goodness, since i actually have a march edd (the 28th or the 31st) it's blowing my mind that next month is march!!! i'm sure the baby will come in april, but still. eek!!!
Yay new thread! :)
nerdymom- I'm glad the ctx have stopped. Hope they stay that way!
starcat-- bummer about the glasses. I've had to deal with old prescriptions while waiting for a new pair and it stinks bigtime. Hope your eyes adjust soon. Of course, they will just in time to get the new contacts right? :P I'm also outgrowing my first round of maternity clothes. I need to dig through the bins again and pull out some larger things. Right now I'm mostly wearing DH's big tshirts and a couple of large sweatshirts and flannel shirts. That's me, the height of fashion LOL
I've been making good progress on my to-do list. Getting rooms decluttered one by one. Last week I had to do the kitchen even though it wasn't in my plans. DS1 decided to see what would happen if he sprayed a fire extinguisher. Ugh. Messy. But the kitchen is now about 75% decluttered and reorganized.... so if it had to happen, at least good came of it.
I'm 28 weeks now. Had a MW visit with the GTT last week. Last night I got home to a message from the office about my lab work. I was terrified i had failed, but fortunately it was just my iron. Pheeeeewwwwww. I'm feeling pretty good but tired (hmm, anemia maybe? lol) and having really bad pubic pain. I need to get int to see the chiro.
We had an ice storm last night, and I'm feeling like baking this afternoon.
Alright ladies... everyone drink a glass of water while you're checking our new chat thread! I hope those of you with contractions are able to take it easy and keep those babies in a while longer!
I'm taking care of my sick DSS who stayed home from school today with a fever and cough. I hope he feels better soon and I really really hope no one else catches what he has. I'm flying across the country Thursday morning and definitely don't want to be sick for my shower trip. And I really don't want to leave DP here with 3 sick kids while I'm gone. I'm going to be chasing everyone around with bottle of vitamins and tinctures when they get home! We've all done so well this winter, I was sick in Dec, but otherwise everyone has been staying healthy.
I have to pack my stuff up for my trip and I just don't want to do it. I hate packing. meh... boo hoo. I'll only be gone 4 days, but it just seems overwhelming right now to collect up my clothes and bathroom gear and put them in a suitcase. I'm such a baby sometimes. I'll be seeing my mother at my shower and I'm supposed to spend the day with her on Sunday. I love my mother, but she has been really getting on my nerves lately. We have a sort of tenuous relationship so I'm just a little nervous about being able to bite my tongue and keep our time together pleasant. I'm sure it will be fine and when I'm there I will just be happy to see her.
Thanks for starting a new chat thread Starcat!
i was going to go for my GTT last week but came down with a nasty stomach bug , so my MW canceled it because even though I felt better my results would be off. I need to reschedule. I passed on the delicious glucola and opted for a food trial instead. Thank God. I would never eat soemthing with those kind of flavors and colors ever so that cant give any kind of idea how my body will really react.
I'm also dealing with a lot of contractions here as well, I guess I am not alone. However my cervix still seems pretty high up and pretty tight. this baby is also a rolly mover vs a punch kick bouncer. Anyone else have a roller baby. I always have knees and elbows pressing out somewhere. ( i love spinning babies website)
Also anyone dealing with super dizzy spells? WTH is up with that. some days I barely feel pregnant others I feel like a horse.
I'm having body issues as well. My hips and pelvis are really bad, some days I can barely walk which sucks with 4 other kids. I pee all the time (more laundry GREAT) but mostly I wish I was that woman who felt beautiful pregnant. I don't. not even a little. It bothers me that I cant be more proud and happy about what my body is doing. anyone else bothered with this.
I'm pretty sure I'm having a monkey BTW... since my heartburn is out.of.control. even the papaya isn't helping.
for all you PTL mommies, I hope your all resting and doing OK.

Did one of you mama's that went into LD say they gave you a shot to stop the CTX? what do they give you? DH is curious to know.
Usually if its a shot it will be terbutaline.
Dierdre- I can't believe your shower is this weekend! That is so exciting- I know you've been looking forward to it. I can't wait to hear all about it! Will you be the first to have a shower in the DDC? Somebody needs to start a baby shower thread so we can hear all about them as they start happening.
For the record, I have my water glass next to me and it is nearly gone.
I have my next u/s in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to it.
I had a few braxton hicks contractions as work was winding down today. I have another busy day for tomorrow, but it is only a half day and a noon meeting, so only 7 hours of work. I just keep thinking that in a few months I won't have to think about work for awhile.
One of my co-workers was having contractions today (she was due on Sunday) so by noon she punched out and headed over to the hospital. It will be fun to hear tomorrow her big news.
I'm still working on baby names. Nothing seems to have stuck so far. Must do some more thinking.
Glad to hear that contractions seemed to have stopped for now!
Allison - how much of a mess was the fire extinguisher? At least your kitchen is done and DS now knows how to use one.
I agree with Becca - all you ladies who are having showers please let us know how they go. We only do showers for 1st babies in my family so mine were almost 4 years ago!
Michelle - We don't have baby names chosen either. We're not really concerned though, as it took us 2 1/2 weeks *after* DS was born to name him, we just called him "Baby" until then. :o) Drove our family nuts. With DD I knew the name before I was certain she was a girl but we still didn't announce it until she was born.
I went through the kids' room and put some things in garbage bags to donate later. I also packed up some old clothing and am making room in DD's dresser for baby's clothes. I was also on my hands and knees scrubbing the dining room floor that I'd been neglecting for a couple of weeks. It looked great for about an hour and then we had lunch. DD loves to throw her food over her high chair. *sigh*
We're supposed to be hit by a major storm overnight. About a foot of snow. I've a MW appt mid-morning so I really hope that the roads are cleared by then. I'm so glad we have snow tires!
Am finished my glass of water so I'm going to go bother DH!
I had a shot. I don't remember the name (it was 2am) but they told me it was a smooth muscle relaxer. It was not fun, it made my heart race, my body shake all over, I felt nauseous and anxious all over. It was teh suck. But it stopped the contrax.
Usually if its a shot it will be terbutaline.
Dierdre- I can't believe your shower is this weekend! That is so exciting- I know you've been looking forward to it. I can't wait to hear all about it! Will you be the first to have a shower in the DDC? Somebody needs to start a baby shower thread so we can hear all about them as they start happening.
That could be it, I don't remember. I just looked up the possible side effects and boyo is that ugly. A little scary what it can do to the baby. OMG I might not go back for a next time!
I'm too tired to respond to each person, but thank you all for your well-wishes. I've been drinking lots and enjoying my normal, painless but annoying BH contractions today!
Oh, and I got my hair done.
And we are joyfully awaiting a new addition in April 2011! <><
Love love love the hair! Looks fantastic on you!
always missing our (11/04, 4/07, 8/07, 5/10)
It was a dry dust, rather than a foamy mess, which I think is fortunate. But it still got *everywhere* and I had to wipe down and/or wash everything in the kitchen -- all exposed surfaces and everything on them, all the counters and the floor and so forth. Fortunately the cupboard doors were shut, all but one. UNfortunately, the big pot of soup I'd made for dinner and all the leftovers were out and exposed and in direct line of fire, so I had to trash it all :( But yes, at least it's done now (mostly, I have a few more drawers and cupboards to sort through and organize). And you're right, DS now knows how to use one, which is a good thing!
Nerdymama- your hair looks amazing! Great cut- it's easy to see that you like it too- it looks fantastic on you!
I've missed a lot of this chat- seems like lots has happened! I was in Alberta visiting my sister, who was due with her first baby, and I made it in time! I got to be there for the birth, and it was soooooo amazing. A homebirth, and my other sister was there, and my mom. It was very special. ;)
My dd will be 4 in April, and she thinks she has a baby in her belly too! I'm wondering how strongly she believes it, and I hope she won't be dissapointed. I'm thinking of getting her a special doll or something. My mw took her blood pressure, measured her belly and heard 'the' heartbeat at her request. Anyone else had a child believe they were having a baby? It's so cute, I don't want to burst her bubble.
Feeling good- no contractions here, other than the ever-present BH! Hope you ladies settle down.
Baby has turned into a very active child- lots and lots of movement. My mw reasssured me the other day I shouldn't have compared my 'older' 28-week pregnant body to my spry 20 year old sister who was 40 weeks. She seemed so nimble, and I was so stiff and achey!
I had my first shower on Sunday (MIL is supposed to throw one for family in March). My mom hosted it for my friends and 5 of them were able to make it (out of 17 invited). It was at Dream Dinners and I came home with 10 dinners for my freezer. Since it takes only a few minutes to make each meal, we sat and talked and ate for the rest of the time. It was really fun! My mom decided to surprise me with an Asian theme and made rice krispie treats that looked like sushi and made me up a big gift basket with all kinds of yummy food and neat kitchen supplies.
I did some major organizing today in the room where I plan to give birth and then decided to try to collect any birthing supplies we have laying around and that led me to making a couple lists to see what we have and what we need to buy. I'm hoping with the snowstorm this week that I will be able to catch up on a lot of the cleaning I've fallen behind on so I can feel more prepared and not like our house is going to be a disaster area when baby gets here.

Love the hair!!! Super cute!
If it made your heart race, definitely terbutaline.
Glad the contracting people seem to be settling down! I've had the past 2 days off and I DO NOT want to go to work today waaaahhhhh.....
I spent all day yesterday cleaning up and getting ready for empire to comje measure for carpets in our house. We are trying to decide between them and Lowes and they never showed up!! I called and they were super apologetic and offered $50 off. (50- really, for 3 rooms of carpet???) I'm bummed because I feel like once the carpet is in then we will be ready. I guess an extra week is no big deal- but still....they ruined my night.
That baby shower sounds SO cute. What a great idea. I am wondering if we have a place like that down here?? I would love to do that with some friends. DO you have pics of your 'sushi'? Go start a thread and post pics and tell us what you got!!
We used to have a Dream Dinners around here and they would offer a deal the month you were due. Free home delivery or a free meal, something like that. What a great shower idea!
I'm in the half of the US that isn't having a blizzard today. We're getting highs of 0F and winds of 35mph. So far the windchill is -27F and it's suppose to get colder throughout the day. Oh yea. All schools have been canceled around here and the girls' ballet studio canceled classes today too. It's my afternoon off so I can't wait to head home and break out some board games.
Just when I thought we were done at 6, DH mentioned last night when we actually had a moment to ourselves that maybe we should have #7. Then he said we couldn't discuss it right now because he realized how tired, achey, and miserable I was. He knew he was on the loosing side of the argument.
i had appt yesterday am, braved the beginning of the blizzard to go, i didn't want to cancel and have to pay that awful fee...Anyway, my weight was supposedly up 6 lbs in 2 weeks, but i am not buying it. I was wearing my big boots, 3-4 pounds i could see, but 6 lbs I just don't know about that. Anyway it got me all paranoid that i was gaining too fast, it is just so hard not to eat when you are snowed in..I wish the weather would get better soon I am getting stir crazy. 29weeks and measuring right on. Midwife said baby isn't head down yet, but i am not worried, i remember ds was lying transverse probably around 34 ish weeks before he got in the head down position. Wish we were doing a bit better financially. Other than that I am doing okay, I am not in miserable pain but seem to be have either lots of muscle stretching or braxton hicks, either way it freaks me out, so i spend a lot of time just lying around. Okay now that i am reading this it doesn't sound like i could have gained a lot of weight in the past couple weeks, but i know the boots added a pound or two at least...
my youngest son thinks he has twin puppies in his belly. Oh boy ! I don't know how I'm planning on fixing that. he tells everyone, all the time. cute but I think he really believes it. Also he is CONVINCED i am having a girl and her name will be Lilly. if this kid comes with a penis he is going to loose it. no puppies and baby with a penis... OH BOY
Nerdymama- your hair looks amazing! Great cut- it's easy to see that you like it too- it looks fantastic on you!

Anyone else had a child believe they were having a baby? It's so cute, I don't want to burst her bubble.
Feeling good- no contractions here, other than the ever-present BH! Hope you ladies settle down.
Baby has turned into a very active child- lots and lots of movement. My mw reasssured me the other day I shouldn't have compared my 'older' 28-week pregnant body to my spry 20 year old sister who was 40 weeks. She seemed so nimble, and I was so stiff and achey!

)2 girls (3 and 1)Someone new due in April too!An yes I Blog @ You Leave me breadless blog
kittn-That is too funny! I love to watch the way small children think about pregnancies, etc. My 3yo can't wait for the baby to come but I think she's going to have a hard time when the baby gets here. She is used to being the baby!
Babybird-Just do your best with the weight gain. Don't stress about it!
mclisa-LOL at your DH's comment abouit another. Not a good time to discuss another is it? I think the best time is when the baby is sleeping through the night, etc. I told DH this weekend we were sooooo done this time.
Starcat-Sorry about the carpet. It's frustrating to have all these things to do and not be able to fix them. I'm sure you'll find what you want soon and be able to have it installed.
Sihaya-That sounds like such a fun shower and a neat idea!
nerdymom-Love the hair and glad you're feeling better!!
AFM I'm feeling a tad better today. I broke down and took one tylenol PM last night since I haven't slept well in a week with the contractions. I was so exhausted I felt sick last night and DH begged me to just take one. It really did help me sleep so I feel somewhat human today. Still having contractions if I'm up for more then 5 minutes or so but it helps not to be exhausted. MIL is taking the kids this afternoon so I'm going to take a nice long bath and maybe do some online scrapbooking or something. I'm so glad we moved back to DH's hometown 3 years ago. The last time I was on bedrest we were 30+ minutes away from family and it makes such a difference to have family right around the corner.
Hope everyone is doing well!! We're getting close!
Kittn- that is so funny! My DD2 really wants "our baby" to be a boy. She wants us to have an even number of boys and girls in the family, she's very logical. I saw these really cute mini baby dolls at Ben Franklin yesterday when I went o buy new yarn. They're about 5" tall and look pretty realistic. I guess people like to knit/ crochet teeny tiny baby clothes for them, they had a couple books of patterns. Anyway, I thought about getting one for DD2 to be her baby, I think she'd like that. Maybe when I get back from my trip I will pick her up one. My kid's favorite thing to talk about when it comes to the baby is who is going to change diapers and how gross that will be! I told them it will be their job to change the really bad ones, the ones that squirt out the sides or up the baby's back, and that I will only change pee diapers. :)
Nerdymom- I love your haircut. It's very flattering.
I'm getting ready today to fly home to NJ tomorrow for my shower this weekend. My mother is driving me nuts already (i vented in the shower thread). I am so excited to go home and see my friends and family! It should be really nice.
When I was pg with dd2, dd1 thought she had a baby in her belly, too. It was pretty cute! She was 3 at the time. After dd2 was born she forgot all about the "baby" in her belly.
My dd will be 4 in April, and she thinks she has a baby in her belly too! I'm wondering how strongly she believes it, and I hope she won't be dissapointed. I'm thinking of getting her a special doll or something. My mw took her blood pressure, measured her belly and heard 'the' heartbeat at her request. Anyone else had a child believe they were having a baby? It's so cute, I don't want to burst her bubble.
always missing our (11/04, 4/07, 8/07, 5/10)
My friend's little girl thought her mom had a chicken in her tummy. No idea where she came up with that unless she overheard something about an egg and thought it must be a chicken.
I was looking up a phone number in the kids' buzz book. I noticed an entry for a family with the last name King.
Their kids are:
Skylar King
Storm King
River King
I'd like to introduce Storm to one of my co-workers' kid: Stormieski
(no kidding! pronounced Stormy Sky)
I hate creative spelling.
Thanks for all the hair love! And thanks Starcat for confirming the medicine. I saw the side effects it can have on the baby and I'm not pleased. I'm going to talk with my MW and see if there are other things they can give me, if it should happen again.
It's so exciting to hear about your showers, they sound like fun! The Dream Dinners one was especially great, what a good idea! If I ever get to organize a shower I'm going to keep that idea in my back pocket. I need to go check out this shower thread next!
babybird - honey I totally get ya. It's taken me a good solid 3 weeks to not feel so bad about my weight gain. Just do the best you can and know that just like no baby is the same, no pregnancy is either. It sucks that they try to fit us in their little cookie cutters, doesn't it?! I was reading http://myobsaidwhat.com/ and maybe that wasn't such a good idea because it just sort of made me laugh, grimace, and wish I was having a HBAC! But really...sometimes I wonder why we pay someone to treat us so badly...
mclisa - omg. just omg. did he duck after he said it? lol!
I am so bloody tired. Just worn to the bone tired. I really need a day of rest. Today we spent 3 hours in the ER with DH, because his PCM (primary care manager) told him to go there, instead of putting in a referral, because they don't have an ultrasound machine at the clinic he is assigned to. (Military healthcare is...nuanced...) Of course DH didn't think to ask for a referral either, and he wanted me to come (pregnant, tired me) with Jack, for moral support. men. They are so sensitive about their junk, ykwim?? He has a painful lump in one of his testicles and he was *convinced* it was cancer. He was so convinced that in triage his BP was 158/90. They did a u/s of his testicles, and SHOCKER, no cancer. They freaked out over his BP more than the lump. It came right down to normal as soon as they assured him he wasn't going to be hauled off and castrated. He has to now go BACK to his PCM to get a referral to a urologist, and go from there. *sigh* And he had the audacity to complain about his prostate exam. Sheesh. I wish a pap was that quick and easy!! Not to mention the very painful cervical exam and multiple swabs that I had done in L&D the other night. I really think it's true. If men had to give birth, humans would be extinct.
And we are joyfully awaiting a new addition in April 2011! <><
nerdymom-Sorry you're so tired! Try to take a day of rest. Those cervical exams and swabs are fun aren't they? Did they do the ffn test on you? The nurse just about killed me with that swab. She actually made me bleed then freaked out about the bleeding. I'm doing everything I can to avoid that place!
A friend of mine emailed me about getting a shower together for me in a few weeks. I'm so excited. I didn't figure I'd have one with this being my 4th but I think it will really be fun and something to look forward to over the next few weeks!
I was supposed to have girls night out tonight for my bday on the 20th.... we canceled bc it's going to get bad on top of the already bad ice/snow. you know, people make fun of us tx people not knowing how to drive or act in this weather....nut how are we supposed to get used to it or KNOW how to deal with it if we only get it once in a blue moon? It's like a man not knowing how to birth a baby...they've never done it. Lol
Nerdy....is there anyone that can watch you LO for even half a day so you can rest? Exhaustion may send you back in there to LD if we lived closer I'd come get your LO so you could sleep.
My 'alien baby' has appeared...lol. Ryan moves like CRAZY!!! Bones stretching across my belly...its so cool! Even after I've seen it 100 times, it still excites me! DD has been able to feel him the last few days. Her eyes get so big, lol
I'm having that 'hungry but feel like food is sitting in my throat' feeling...anyone else? It's annoying. I need him to drop. Lol
Hope everyone else is doing good and hanging in there! Just a fewmore weeks!

News briefs
Casey presses aid for police amid gun control debate
HARRISBURG -- Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania, said he's not sure whether a ban on assault weapons can pass the U.S. Senate, but lawmakers should also focus on helping local police in an effort to curb gun violence.
Casey said Tuesday that he expects a Senate vote on an assault weapons ban, even if it fails to get the necessary 60 votes to advance. He also expects a vote to limit the number of bullets in ammunition magazines.
But Casey's also trying to press federal aid for courts, police and prosecutors into the debate, and said Congress needs to invest in what works.
Gun group chief: Industry didn't cause Newtown
LAS VEGAS -- A trade show expected to draw tens of thousands of gun enthusiasts and manufacturers opened on the Las Vegas Strip on Tuesday with the head of an industry group preparing to tell conventiongoers they weren't to blame for the recent mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
"We are not the evildoers," National Shooting Sports Foundation chief Steve Sanetti said in prepared remarks.
The start of the annual Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show at the Sands Expo Convention Center comes amid a national debate on gun control.
In his speech, Sanetti characterized weapons manufacturers, sellers and buyers as "misunderstood." Sanetti's remarks drew criticism from gun control advocates.
NRA shooting game no longer for preschoolers
WASHINGTON -- A new shooting game for mobile devices tied to the National Rifle Association is no longer being labeled suitable for preschoolers. "NRA: Practice Range" changed its age recommendation Tuesday from 4 years and up to at least 12 years of age, with an added warning that the game depicts realistic violence.
The game was released after a top NRA executive, Wayne LaPierre, had blamed violent video games, not guns, for contributing to mass shootings. An advocacy group, Courage Campaign, circulated an online petition asking Apple to drop the free mobile application from its store.
Newtown shooting survivors record song for charity
NEW YORK -- Children who survived December's shooting rampage at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School have recorded a version of "Over the Rainbow" to raise money for charity.
Twenty-one children from Newtown, Conn., sang the song Tuesday with singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson on ABC's "Good Morning America." Most of them are current and former students of the school where 20 first-graders and six staff members were killed.
They recorded the song at the home of two former members of the Talking Heads rock band. It went on sale Tuesday on Amazon and iTunes, with proceeds benefiting a local United Way and the Newtown Youth Academy.

Personal Description:
Personal Description:
I am a 55 year old 1 year survivor. In December 2007 I was feeling really tired and lethargic. It was all I could do to go to work every night. Fortunately, I worked fora boss who didn't mind if I took a nap on the job. I saw my family doctor at the end of February 2008 for a routine visit and when he asked how I was doing I told him I was tired all the time and that I had been having sime abdominal pain. I attributed the tiredness to my parents' death and the stress of their illnesses and funerals (my dad died in Jan 2007 and my mom in July 2007).The abdominal pain I had originally attributed to playing with my grandchildren because when it started it felt like a pulled muscle. By the time I saw my doctor the pain had moved and changed. I could also feel that something was not "quite right". When he examined me he could feel a lump and it was visable when I was lying down. He told me there was a strong possibility of cancer and ordered a CA125. When the results came back he confirmed that there was cancer but he couldn't tell me what kind and sent me to a surgeon. She examined me and said I need a gynocologic oncology surgeon and that my best chance of survival depended on my "first" and hopefully only surgery. My family doctor also ordered an abdominal CT.The results of that showed a mass but it was formed in such a way that they couldn't see where it originated. They made an appointment with the specialist who ordered a complete hysterectomy.I had my surgery April 2,2008. By that time I was in so much pain and so completely exhausted that I could barely walk. I had also lost weight (50 lbs in 3 months). On April 21,2008 I saw him again to have my staples removed and he greeted me with the news that I had Stage 3 Type B Ovarian Cancer and that I would be dead in 6 months at the earliest and 6 years at the latest. I started chemo May 22,2008 and finished September 11,2008. I am feeling well and my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary April 5 and I just spent a month playing with my grandchildren ages 5 and 6. I have had the support of a wonderful doctor,family and friends and many many prayers.

That saves me. Thnaks for being so sensible!
Mahalia Mahalia – 06/02/2011
You should rlelay not be thinking about sex so soon after an ovarian cyst rupture, it could be quite painful for you. But if you rlelay have to, then wait until your cysts have completely disappeared (there could be bits left over from the rupture) and that your ovaries are functioning properly at least, you can tell when this happens after your period. That will signify that your ovaries are back to their monthly cycle and all is well.References :
Daniela Daniela – 03/29/2012
Any procedure or meiodaticn that interferes with the functioning of the testes or ovaries affects fertility. The choices made before cancer treatment begins can determine whether the patient will remain fertile after treatment.Radiation is known to damage the highly sensitive sperm and eggs. Just as chemotherapy attacks healthy cells, so does radiation. If the area needing irradiation is the pelvis, the reproductive organs are at great risk of damage. When radiation is done to the pelvic area, women often experience a pause in menstruation, along with other symptoms of menopause. There may also be vaginal dryness, itching, and burning. Radiation may affect sexual desire as well. These changes may be temporary or permanent, and it may take up to a few years to determine if the effects were temporary or permanent.Since radiation can be harmful to the fetus, pregnancy during radiation therapy is contraindicated, and because the full effect of the radiation on fertility cannot be predicted.So, in your case it is highly recommended to terminate the pregnancy. I do not think there is any chance to save the pregnancy not to speak of other shortcomings and difficulties. Please do as advised by your doctor and do not worry or get depressed. If everything goes on alright you will get pregnant again and have a child depending on the severity of cancer and radiation treatment given to you. Best of luck. –

Netflix the movie "City Island", pack your best neon bikini and get ready!
Meet at Zen Bikes in the flatiron district in Manhattan at 10am. Zen will have any last minute supplies (tubes, etc.) you might need and there's a wholefoods around the corner for drinks & snacks. Ride leaves Zen Bikes at 10:15am and begins the easy ride up to City Island along the West Side Greenway and on to endless lobsterhouses on City Island and a beach that used to be called "The Riviera of the East." Route takes us through NYC's largest green space Pelham Bay Park.
Please come prepared: a helmet, bike lock, water and money for any food or drink. A spare inner tube, multi-tool, mini-pump and patch kit are also a very good idea. This is a self-supported fun ride. A ride marshall will be there to help with any problems along the route, but riders are expected to be able to handle their own basic maintenance issues and come with a bike capable of riding 45+ miles along uneven city street surfaces. A messenger bag or panniers will also make the ride more fun.

I don't think using command buttons is the best option for this.
So how can i do it?
Do you have any code that you are working on ?
No. That's why i thought that is better to make command buttons movable
if you have any idea please let me know.
You need to put some effort and post the code here. We can modify it and make it work.
Try this code to create a moving button from one location to another:

End If
button1.Location = Temp
End If
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
This is anothe code I just did in a rush, what the code does, is when you click a button (even number) buttons moves, when you click it again (odd number) it stops, and so on...
My code only shows an example of the button movement down and right (at the same time).
What you have to do, is to change the directions (based on some facts and class variables). Play with the code a bit, maybe it can suit you.
Public Partial Class Form1
Inherits Form
Private thr As Thread
Private clicks As Integer
Private bStop As Boolean
Public Sub New()

Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
If clicks Mod 2 = 0 Then
bStop = False
thr = New Thread(AddressOf Go)
bStop = True
End If
clicks += 1
End Sub
Private Sub Go()
While (button1.Location.X + button1.Size.Width) < Me.Size.Width AndAlso Not bStop

End While
End Sub
Private Delegate Sub moveBd(btn As Button)
Private Sub moveButton(btn As Button)
Dim x As Integer = btn.Location.X
Dim y As Integer = btn.Location.Y
btn.Location = New Point(x + 1, y + 1)

No, He has a point, you put zero effort into solving your problem, and expect people to do all the code for you.
This is a place to seek help, not a place to get code from scratch.
Sure, I can do this for you, give you fully functional code but you wont learn anything then?
Don't expect everyone to just code on demand. They all have real life's, and jobs to do. So try to put some effort into learning how to code, then just sit here and expect people to feed it to you.

Jorge L. Garzon, a divorced father of three, took the Wayland, Mass., girl into his parents' Winfield Avenue home, where he has been staying, officials said.
His bail was set at $150,000.
She arrived on Nov. 5 and endured his sexual assaults until Wednesday morning, when New York City police tracked her down to the location, officials said.
On the day of his arrest, Garzon forced himself upon the girl, the criminal complaint says, adding that over the previous 10 days he had forced her to perform various "prohibited sexual acts."
Garzon appeared yesterday in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny.
Leaning forward with his hands clasped on his lap, Garzon asked when his next hearing would be.
"You will stay in jail until this bail is posted, and you still have this robbery charge," Judge Richard Nieto said, referring to a 1989 robbery charge authorities said Garzon has pending under an alias.
The girl, a middle school student from Wayland, Mass., went missing on Nov. 4, setting off a frantic search.
Wayland Police Chief Robert Irving said yesterday his officers, using security video, learned she had taken a train from Lincoln, Mass., to Boston and then boarded a Peter Pan bus to New York City's Port Authority Bus Terminal. He said she arrived in New York that same day.
"That's where we lost track of her," Irving said. "We worked closely with New York (police) Missing Persons and the family was instrumental in generating news coverage to get tips."
Irving said a tip received by the NYPD led officers to Garzon's home Wednesday.
Once they found the girl, the NYPD cops contacted Jersey City police and the Jersey City cops contacted the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office's Special Victims Unit, which is prosecuting Garzon.
Sources said Garzon was stunned when police showed up at his door. When they asked about the 13-year-old, Garzon tried to tell them that nothing inappropriate was going on, sources said.
Hudson County Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Debra Simon said yesterday that her office has not yet received the police reports from the NYPD. Yesterday, the NYPD referred questions to the Wayland police.
The complaint says the charges against Garzon were based on statements of the 13-year-old, a medical examination, and crime scene evidence.
Initially, officials said Garzon was 45 years old, but today said he is 42.

Kids Exercising: A Weekly Hour of Gym Class Doesn't Cut ItHeather Neal
I about choked on my potatoes when I read that the average gym time for kids is 60 minutes a week. Not a day, a week. (And yes, dietitians eat potatoes- roasted, not fried.)
I could rant about that little tidbit for hours, but instead I'll focus on just one little part: that increasing kids PE time can increase their strength without upping the likelihood of broken bones. That's extra time in gym class, not hours spent at the gym, soccer practice, or running sprints on the track. Just normal kid stuff. A study in Sweden just looked at what happens if kids' PE time was raised to 200 minutes per week instead of 60 minutes. That may sound like a big jump, but that's only 40 minutes per school day, and 60 minutes to start with is just pathetic. The recommended minimum daily activity for school-aged kids exercising is 60 minutes.
The outcome of the study? Over two years, kids improved their muscle strength. In addition, much to their emergency-room-bill-paying parents, the number of broken bones didn't go up with the extra activity minutes. There are so many factors that go into determining a school curriculum but this study could add to the ammunition that exercise is important for kids. It may cost money to run a phys ed program, but so does paying for the diseases that come with childhood obesity. Not to mention that active kids get better grades.
We never used to have to think of kids needing exercise, they just got it by default. Running outside, playing catch, and swinging on the monkey bars used to be the norm. Now it's video games, computers, and tv. That means we need to fight to get kids moving and gym class is a great place to start. Exercise for kids not only helps with weight, strength, and bone density, it also improves self-esteem and decreases the risks for health problems like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
So until we can win the fight for more time in gym class, you might want to reconsider the screen time and kick your kids out of the house to play after school.

by Ori Hofmekler
Imagine Ronald Reagan as a turkey-jowled, barrel-bellied Charlie Chaplin. Or Libya's Col. Muammar Qaddafi as a World War I doughboy fleeing the trenches. In this collection of scathing pencil-and-tempura caricatures of politicians, Ori Hofmekler, an Israeli satirical artist who has just became a regular contributor to Penthouse, reveals a sardonic talent for thus placing the historic figures of our time in absurd yet thought-provoking positions. All the leading players in the Middle East, for instance, are represented, and neither Begin nor Sadat nor Khomeini comes off well. (The Ayatollah, sitting on a makeshift toilet, says, in a real quote, "I will not sit back and advise. I'll cut everybody's hands off.") Elsewhere, a close-up of a lip-smacking Idi Amin is captioned by the Ugandan's comment: "I captured some of the people who tried to assassinate me. I ate them before they ate me." Pierre Trudeau is depicted in a bathtub swigging wine as a ripely molded female form towels off. The artist's cartoons are grim; they deflate all larger-than-life heroes. The closest any of the drawings comes to being a compliment is that of Pope John Paul II, portrayed as an easy-ridin' biker, cloak flowing in the wind as the Holy Father rips up the highway.

About 400 Golden Nail Awards nominees and guests will enjoy a dinner prepared by Chef Douglas Lee of the Big Texas Steak Ranch as part of the 20th annual gala April 20 at the Grand Plaza Room at the Amarillo Civic Center.
The evening will begin with cocktails and dinner, the awards ceremony, symphony concert, and end with the cheers party to honor the winners. Andy Chase, courtesy of Civic Amarillo, will perform during cocktails, dinner and the cheers party.
The menu will feature tiny mixed greens garnished with Tempura Shrimp, accompanied by a galette of fried rice and served with Chef Douglas's ginger and onion vinaigrette. The entree will be a prime strip loin roasted with cracked peppercorns, underlined with Ancho-Thai glaze, drizzled with Tibetan mustard sauce and surrounded by wild mushrooms. Couscous and petit green beans with roasted shallot relish will accompany the entree. The bread will be poppy seed breadsticks and wild rice brown bread served with orange honey butter.
Desserts will be served at the cheers party and will include: mini crepes suzette, cheesecake morsels, fresh fruit and berries, mini chocolate cups and mini tart shells with a variety of fillings that will include mocha espresso, raspberry Bavarian mousse, sea breeze pudding, Frangelica Pecan and strawberry cinnamon. Flavored coffees and champagne also will be served. A Merlot, X Ploration Concha y Toro, will be provided by Spirit Emporium of Amarillo, and CapRock Winery of Lubbock will provide a CapRock Chardonnay 1998 and the champagne.
The awards gala is part of an evening that includes a performance by the Amarillo Symphony. The Arts Committee of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce sponsors the annual event to recognize financial, in-kind, and volunteer contributions to the fine arts in Amarillo and the surrounding communities in the Texas Panhandle.
For more information, contact Becky Zenor at the Chamber at 373-7800.
Lee encourages readers to "Thai" one on with the following recipe, which combines the flavor of the best beef in the world with the best traditions of traditional Thai cooking. Thailand's combination of spices is considered among the best of International cuisine.
Ancho-Thai Glaze
4 to 5 ancho peppers with stems removed (it is OK to use dried ones)
1/2 gallon rice vinegar
juice from four small limes
2 whole red peppers with stems removed
2 cans coconut milk (5.6 ounces each)
2 pints cherry tomatoes (cleaned with stems removed)
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons chopped, skinned fresh ginger root
3 whole cloves
2 medium-size bay leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
Zest of one medium-size lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup toasted sesame seed
Ancho peppers are flavorful and not excessively hot. This finished product will last for a long time in the cooler. Properly stored, it remains good for six months.
Mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and let cook uncovered until it is 1/5th the beginning amount of liquid. Let the mixture cool and then strain. It's important when straining to press as much as possible to create a puree. This will help with the thickness of the glaze and give it additional body.
Use this glaze as a second sauce to add flavor to beef. To serve, warm slightly and pour into a squeeze bottle. Swirl it onto the plate to underline the meat, or use it to decorate the edges of the plate. It will add both to the taste and the presentation of the meal.
Ginger Onion Vinaigrette
The combination of sweet onions and ginger makes a smooth bittersweet dressing for fresh greens.
12 whole fresh green onions. Thinly slice the green and white.
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 medium sized shallots, skinned and finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 cups heavy duty mayonnaise
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic in oil
1 cup chicken stock or broth
Kosher salt to taste
Dash of cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup very fine strips of white leeks
Heat olive oil in large saute pan. When the oil is hot, saute the leeks, red and green onion, garlic and shallots until they are about 50 percent done. Remove from the heat, then add the red wine vinegar. Return to the heat. This will help de-glaze the pan. Add chicken stock, fresh and crystallized ginger and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the liquid has been reduced by half. Remove heat and let cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine cooked mixture and all other ingredients. Taste. If it is too vinegary, add just a touch of sugar. Additional salt and pepper may also be added to your taste.
How to prepare Couscous
Couscous, a pasta whose origins are in North Africa, is rapidly becoming one of the most popular dishes in both Western and Eastern cooking. Originally derived from wheat, couscous is now available in oat, rice and soy variations. Easy to prepare and versatile in its ability to absorb flavors or blend with other foods, couscous is gaining ground among vegetarians and health-conscious chefs.
1 1/2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth, undiluted
1 cup couscous, uncooked
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika
Bring chicken broth to a boil. Remove from heat and add couscous. Cover and let stand 5 minutes or until couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in other ingredients. Fluff couscous with a fork and transfer to a serving bowl.
A variety of vegetables or other spices can be added to couscous to make a simple dish or to form the cornerstone for an entire meal.
Mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and let cook uncovered until it is 1/5th the beginning amount of liquid. Let the mixture cool and then strain. It's important when straining to press as much as possible to create a puree. This will help with the thickness of the glaze and give it additional body.
Use this glaze as a second sauce to add flavor to beef. To serve, warm slightly and pour into a squeeze bottle. Swirl it onto the plate to underline the meat, or use it to decorate the edges of the plate. It will add both to the taste and the presentation of the meal.

Brad Pitt easily conned a casino boss in Ocean's Eleven – but how will he fare against his ex-girlfriend? In Ocean's Twelve, the actor re-teams with George Clooney, Matt Damon and the rest of the crew, while facing off with Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays an ex-girlfriend of his character (Rusty Ryan) who happens to be a Europol agent specializing in hunting down master thieves. Zeta-Jones and Pitt recently talked about Europe, onscreen chemistry and her becoming an official member of "George Clooney's crew."
Brad, what was it like getting back into character and going back to work?
Pitt: I'd like to call it work, but it was pretty much automatic for us. First of all, there's a very low level of maturity amongst all the guys there. So that helps – we bond very quickly because of it. Then we've got the beautiful women to make us look a little better, but it's pretty automatic.
Did you guys play any jokes on Catherine?
Pitt: I think that the biggest joke was on Catherine because she actually thought that we were making a movie. Being the new kid, no one told her. So she was up learning lines and doing character breakdowns and we just let her roll with it.
How was shooting in Italy?
Pitt: The sequel was actually hatched on our trip, our final trip when we were doing the press tour for the first one and our last stop was Italy. (Director) Steven (Soderbergh) says, "I have an idea for the second one." So it was actually born there.
A little different than shooting in Las Vegas?
Pitt: I'm not really sure how to answer that. We're just the antithesis of each other as far as culture and lack of culture, I guess. It's bright neon and everything new, versus history and ancientness.
Catherine, how was working with Brad?
Zeta-Jones: I loved doing the movie with him. I'd like to do another.
Pitt: I'm thinking a musical.
How did you get involved in this film, Catherine?
Zeta-Jones: I met Steven Soderbergh on Traffic. I knew that Ocean's Twelve was going to be starting up soon. I knew that they were writing it. I got a call and they wanted to meet about a script. They didn't say what it was, but I assumed that it was Ocean's Twelve. I liked my character. I liked the arc. So here I am.
How was working on Traffic compared to working on Ocean's?
It's just easy and it's fun. The difference is that the story of Traffic compared to Ocean's is so different. But the process was the same and the fun and the attitude is contagious.
This is also your second film with George Clooney. (The first was Intolerable Cruelty.) Does this officially make you a member of George Clooney's crew?
Zeta-Jones: I hope so. Yeah.

I read with interest the results from the KONQUEST (Keppra vs Older AEDs evaluating Neuropsychiatric, Neurocognitive and QUality of life outcomes in treatment of Epilepsy as Substitution monoTherapy) trial.1 The trial showed no difference in quality of life, neuropsychiatric, neurocognitive, seizure control, and adverse event outcome measures when patients with partial epilepsy who had failed monotherapy with an older antiepileptic drug (AED) were switched to monotherapy with another older AED vs those switched to brand name levetiracetam (marketed in the United States as Keppra; UCB Pharma). The efficacy and adverse effect profile of an AED may vary between the brand name medication and its generic equivalents available on the market. Were the patients who were taking older AEDs switched to brand name older AEDs or their generic equivalents? This may have skewed the results reported. Patients who are well controlled with older AEDs are at times switched to newer generation AEDs on the grounds that they have a more favorable adverse effect profile in the long run, namely, lesser incidence of neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric adverse effects, bone loss, and safety during pregnancy. Results from the KONQUEST trial make us pause and ponder this rationale as newer AEDs, especially those that lack a generic equivalent, are far more expensive and place a significant financial burden both on the patient and society at large.
