Hope everyone's having a lovely day... I am still freakin' waiting to O. :
Mom to DD1 (11) & DD2 (7) & DS (9/10/12)
Anyways, hopefully I will be back on the ttc wagon by Sept.
On a brighter note, I will be heading to Montreal this weekend for my 6th wedding anniversary
Shannon-I really hope that everything works out and you start feeling better soon. This is yet another difficult obstacle to deal with to get to your beautiful baby that's waiting for you.
I think I might have O'd. But, I have been taking EPO this cycle . . .LOTSA wet CM, but now I've heard that it LOWERS YOUR PROGESTERONE!!!!! ACK! My rise (if I did O) was certainly not great . . .it's lower than it's been in the past, which wasn't high to begin with. I keep wondering if I've messed things up further with the EPO. On the plus side, if I did O, it was early . . .maybe that will magically help my LP problem, even though I know your LP is supposed to stay the same no matter what.
Anyway . . .
Welcome to the new people (hope you're in and outta here!) and welcome back to Kara . . .
Shannon, GET BETTER, woman! Geeze!
Alexis, good to hear that Mike was open to seeing a doc. You two seem to have such a fabulous relationship! I learn so much from your posts!
Korin: Pics, pics, please, of this shawl!!! And thank you for posting the tip about the thermometer (taking the temp 2X). Good to know!
Erika: Maybe the O date is today!
phoebekate: I'm sorry that this temp thing is crazy right now! I hope you find answers soon!
angst: What's up with Prochieve? I never knew prog. would
have side effects like that! Ugh. I gotta be on the lookout for extra moodiness when I start taking mine again.
Maya: Happy Birthday! But boo hoo that your mom isn't coming! You must be feeling a little disappointed . . .but then again, I guess you can fantasize about the new babe and great new job! Is your mom rescheduling?
ETA: SweetTeach, we cross-posted. . .ack! Yes, I am in TOTAL agreement that the universe owes you more than it can ever repay. You are getting a special place in my thoughts tonight . . .I hope your trip is relaxing and joyous!
Hugs to all!
2/02, 4/05, 2/07, 11/09, and EDD 12/25/11
SweetTeach, I love the quote in your sig-line. Happens to be a favorite.

Johanna- thanks! Do you know who Jean Shindoa B..(can't remember) is? I saw this quote a couple of years ago and I also feel very moved by it, so I put it in all of my online sigs.
Quite the long cycle you've got there, eh? I had that problem last month too and I think I will this month as well. I think I'm O'ing now and I'm on CD27. :

raggedy ann- I love HUGS!!
I feel like I know you all already and I'm so happy to finally join in!
Korin - thanks for asking your ND coworker about my temps, was it the fact that they are usually stable post O or this morning's ever lowering shinanigans she thought was weird? I presume the latter? If it repeats itself tomorrow I may do something about it but its kind of hard cause I have only met my new GP twice and my homeopath is back home (interstate) so my contact with her is phonecalls at home which I try to limit it to family catch ups and emergencies... I feel rude bugging her with my small issues all the time cause she gives out her home number to far too many people, many of them with REAL problems (like death, dying or babies due :-). My old GP back home is a family friend (she married my mother's ex and they are all close friends) so I could call her at home but again, feels bad, worse even than my homeopath.
Does anyone know what the stats are on implantation? Like the best odds of conceiving with GIO x-days before that was recently posted? How many women implant 6pdo, 7dpo, etc? Isn't 9 or 10dpo kind of late?

Kate Any friend of Kris' is a friend of mine!
Marie, sending you O vibes
Johanna -- stay and play :chat: How're you feeling?
Sending hugs to everyone!
Belly Blessings!!!
(PS -- thanks Miz We get that a lot )
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Alexis, GOP?
Johanna, get thee to a doc-tah!!
I'm in the middle of a GIO fest this week........ You guys are sooo bad with the smilies!!
Yep, long cycles. And I'm almost positive I didn't ovulate during this one.
Chiromama - I actually made an appointment.. needed a physical and a pap anyway. March of last year was my most recent. Closest appointment they could get me in (and not even with my doctor) was August 21st. Uhm... yeah.
Velveteen - yeah yeah yeah... (see above)
RaggedyAnn - thanks
kate-astrophe -
alexisyael - girl, you crack me up! I'm feeling all right I guess. Tired. I think my lack of vitamins is catching up with me. I'm veggie so I have to be careful and I'm still learning how to get all my vits via diet. So far I'm not so successful. Need to buy more vits (hubby gets paid tomorrow, hopefully its in the budget). I think I'm getting anemic (its a usual battle for me, when I'm not careful).
For interesting commentary check out my woo woo thread.
I'll tell you, once I'm actually ovulating and such, I should have NO problems getting knocked up... lord knows we GIO enough. :LOL As a matter of fact, if I don't go now I'm not getting any......
Mom to Marshall (06/00), wife to Brett, welcoming the new little one August 2014!
korin, i recignize that annoying friend of yours. i just had a big blow out with a friend who was constantly preaching about the newest guru/book/workshop that changed her life, never asking if I even felt I need it, you know? I think that's called projection... :
katy, we had two stormy days, but we didn't lose power and it's passed now. generally we've had pretty amazing weather here, though, not typical for england at all!
mizelenius, I'm actually kinda relieved my mum isn't coming, but peed off at her cancelling last minute, ah well.
to everyone who is waiting to O or test.
I had a fabulous b.day. Dh threw me a surprise party with a big old chocolate/strawberry cake, then we went out to hear our friend playing with an incredible singer/songwriter from SF, Jolie Holland. If you're at all into blues/country/folk/jazz/amazing female voices, check her outhere. Boy it took me right back to the coffee shops of San Francisco, the fog, the ocean, playing music with Dave...aaah. A little homesick for it all but couldn't have been a better b.day hearing them play, and having him here meeting our little boy. .
to everyone who needs them.
and to all as well!
Me...really wanting to test ... still tons of nausea, no energy, etc. Not convinced I'm pg ... not convinced I'm not ... very impatient! I better get back to work! (I have my 3 kids with me at work today ... joy.)
Mama to A (12), Z (11), H (9), C (5), A (3) and 4 angels.
Also I am now self proclaimed "I am too f*cking tired to have sex to make a baby,SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD I WANT TO FOR THE HELL OF IT " today...just realized DH and I haven't had sex since 2 weeks ago , yeah we coulda fertilized something I suppose but I think it is a long shot. :
Ive been too busy to think about TTC so thatsa why I ve been MIA....
Adina when do we find out ???:
Yes it has went by very fast and I got that new baby nitch.... I want another one
: Makenna!!!
Now, would everyone please wake up and someone get a BFP so my day can be a little brighter?!?
Mama to A (12), Z (11), H (9), C (5), A (3) and 4 angels.
I'm on CD 60something. Arghh. No AF in sight. Every twinge could be her. I just want to reboot.
I tested today like an idiot ................. BFN.
Last night I was feeling a little pregnant. I felt queezy, no energy ect.... but oh well. I guess I'll just keep on with the Prochieve gel (aka instacramp).
tara -Happy Birthday to Makenna!!
And happy belated birthday to Muse--sounds like it was a great celebration and a yummy cake! I just finished my cake finally today! yum! (my bday was 2.5 weeks ago).
B&I are in the midst of trying to choose a new donor-always a weird process, but kinda fun too!
The last one worked well in the sense that I got pg quickly, but since I've had 2 m/c we thought this was something we could change. But I'm worried I've left it too late for trying on July 19th/20th (which is when our IUI is currently scheduled).
We'll see.. we may have to go with the old one for now...
mom23..sounds very promising!! good luck!
Sweet Teach-- sorry to hear you'll have to wait, how frustrating! I hope its something that can be fixed easily & enjoy Montreal, one of my favourite cities!!
phoebekate...I'll try and get info on implantation for you..I used to have all this stuff memorized but have put it out of my mind in taking a TTC mental break.
gotta go to work, crazy day!
to all!

Kit Shickers Shot Set
Boot style shot glasses. Anything that makes taking shots more entertaining is a good thing.
I mostly like this little set here because it gives you the tools to play speed quarters which is my favorite drinking game.Tags: gifts, entertainment, liquor, alcohol, drinking, shot glassesAdded 8 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
The combination of two wonderful things, drinking and DOGS. Comes with four different kind of dogs.
Something about the word squishy in the description of these shot glasses makes taking shots a tad more appealing?Added 8 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
Love this! I gave this to a friend for Christmas and he loved it as well. I think it's a genius idea and even if you don't drink alcohol, it's still perfect to use to cool down your favorite beverage!
I love candycanes and I love liquor! Naturally I'm getting like 40 of these guys. Drink, eat and be merry for sureAdded 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
I can't imagine playing this game will lead to a sober night but it will definitely lead to some good stories.Tags: games, entertainment, party, board games, drinking, drunk, shot glassesAdded 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters
Awaken your inner cowboy with the duel shot set. Fill em with whiskey (Johnny Walker Red, perhaps?) and see who wins. As if taking shots isn't already fun enough, now you can turn that into a competition as well. Yes!Added 9 Years Ago from Urban Outfitters

Asparagus racemosus
|Shatawari plant photographed at Pune
|Scientific classification
|A. racemosus
|Binomial name
|Asparagus racemosus
Asparagus racemosus (satavar, shatavari, or shatamull) is a species of asparagus common throughout Nepal, Sri Lanka, India and the Himalayas. It grows one to two metres tall and prefers to take root in gravelly, rocky soils high up in piedmont plains, at 1,300–1,400 metres elevation.[2] It was botanically described in 1799.[1] Because of its multiple uses, the demand for Asparagus racemosus is constantly on the rise. Because of destructive harvesting, combined with habitat destruction, and deforestation, the plant is now considered "endangered" in its natural habitat.[citation needed]
Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) is recommended in Ayurvedic texts for the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers and dyspepsia, and as a galactogogue. A. racemosus has also been used by some Ayurvedic practitioners for nervous disorders.[3]
A few recent reports demonstrated some additional beneficial effects of this herb including antihepatotoxic, immunomodulatory, immunoadjuvant and antilithiatic effects.[4]
Shatawari has different names in the different Indian languages, such as shatuli, vrishya and other terms. In Nepal it is called kurilo. The name "shatawari" means "curer of a hundred diseases" (shatum: "hundred"; vari: "curer").
Leaves, flowers and fruits[edit]
Satavar has small pine-needle-like phylloclades (photosynthetic branches) that are uniform and shiny green. In July, it produces minute, white flowers on short, spiky stems, and in September it fruits, producing blackish-purple, globular berries.
It has an adventitious root system with tuberous roots that measure about one metre in length, tapering at both ends, with roughly a hundred on each plant.
|This section does not cite any sources. (September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Asparagus racemosus is an important plant in traditional medicine in tropical and subtropical India. Its medicinal usage has been reported in the Indian and British Pharmacopoeias and in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha.[citation needed]
The roots are used in Ayurvedic medicine, following a regimen of processing and drying. It is generally used as a uterine tonic, as a galactogogue (to improve breast milk), in hyperacidity, and as a best general health tonic.
Chemical constituents[edit]
Asparagamine A, a polycyclic alkaloid was isolated from the dried roots[5][6] and subsequently synthesized to allow for the construction of analogs.[7]
Two new steroidal saponins, shatavaroside A and shatavaroside B together with a known saponin, filiasparoside C, were isolated from the roots of Asparagus racemosus.[8]
Five steroidal saponins, shatavarins VI-X, together with five known saponins, shatavarin I (or asparoside B), shatavarin IV (or asparinin B), shatavarin V, immunoside and schidigerasaponin D5 (or asparanin A), have been isolated from the roots of Asparagus racemosus.[9]
Also known is the isoflavone 8-methoxy-5,6,4'-trihydroxyisoflavone 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside.[10]

The Jasmine revolution in Tunisia has offered much hope across the Arab world. We have seen young and hopeful demonstrators in Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, calling for much-needed reform and democracy in their own countries (Change is coming, 31 January). We offer our support to those courageous young demonstrators. Their aspirations and hopes are legitimate and the Jasmine revolution has shown that it may be possible to achieve them. We condemn the violent repression of those demonstrations and ask western governments, especially EU members and the US, to respect the Arab world's desire for change, and to halt their financial and military assistance to autocratic regimes in the region.

Chipmaker Marvell loses $1.17 billion patent verdict
By Jonathan Stempel
(Reuters) - A federal jury on Wednesday found that Marvell Technology Group infringed two patents held by Carnegie Mellon University, and ordered the chipmaker to pay $1.17 billion in damages.
The award is one of the largest by a jury in a U.S. patent case, and is nearly twice Marvell's profit in its latest fiscal year. It followed a month-long trial in the U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, the home of Carnegie Mellon.
Jurors also found that Marvell's patent infringement was willful. This could enable the trial judge, Nora Barry Fischer, to award triple damages, a sum close to the $3.96 billion market value of Marvell, whose chips are used for reading and writing data on hard disk drives.
Shares of Marvell fell 10.3 percent on Wednesday, closing down 85 cents at $7.40 on the Nasdaq.
Marvell and its law firm, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The company had argued that it had acted in good faith, and the Carnegie Mellon patents were invalid. In a November 29 regulatory filing, Marvell said it intended to litigate vigorously in any potential appeal if it lost at trial.
Carnegie Mellon had accused Marvell of infringing patents used in technology for hard disk drive circuits to read data from high-speed magnetic disks, according to a statement from the university's law firm, K&L Gates.
The law firm said the patents related to systems and methods developed by Carnegie Mellon Professor Jose Moura and a doctoral student, Aleksandar Kavcic, who is now a professor at the University of Hawaii. Continued...

Connects to the bottom of the jet pack.
I haven't read about or seen it before
It is not really necessary. I was going to add this to my setup & I found it was going to be hard to reach. It keeps the jetpack from swinging from side to side but unless you are doing stunts it is not really a concern. A piece of Velcro there would serve the same purpose. I actually put a bit of weatherstripping on the back of my pack so it doesn't rub against the back plate & it provides enough friction that the pack doesn't sway.
I had been calculating what to use between the pack and the backplate. Personally I'd not want those parts riding on each other either.....
Well I can vouch for the weather stripping but I think Velcro would work just as well. Just put a big looped piece one one side & a smaller hook piece on the other. The hook part is slightly abrasive.

text: MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jordan Valley, a leading supplier of X-ray based in-line metrology and defect detection systems for advanced semiconductor manufacturing lines, announced today that it shipped a JVSensus™ system to a leading Asian semiconductor foundry manufacturer, who have adopted the tool as part of its process. The JVSensus™ system provides non destructive, in-line tool for detection of non visual, crystalline defects (NVD) on patterned or blanket wafers. These defects, such as micro-cracks, slip lines and point defects, may cause a wafer breakage or device failure during rapid thermal processes such as fast laser annealing, or during wafer handling. For more detailed imaging of the defects, JVSensus supports dual resolution and enables non destructive wafer cross-section imaging. Isaac Mazor, Jordan Valley's CEO, said: "We are pleased to have been selected by the leading semiconductor foundry to support their advanced manufacturing yield by detecting and classifying those process-induced defects that may lead to catastrophic wafer breakage." "This selection represents the customer's confidence in Jordan Valley's ability to provide a valuable defect detection solution for their demanding applications, trusting the fully automated innovative X-ray imaging system to provide valuable means for yield improvement and good ROI," added Mr. Mazor. Dr. Paul Ryan, Jordan Valley's UK subsidiary manager, said: "Advanced technology nodes, particularly 20nm nodes and below, set new yield challenges, partly due to new 3D FinFET structures combined with aggressive thermal processes. These aggressive laser annealing processes increase the importance of any mechanical backside or edge damage, resulting in cracks and an increased likelihood of wafer breakage inside the process chamber." "This selection for the JVSensus is evidence that our strategy of turning X-Ray imaging into production worthy defect detection tool, successfully delivers the right product for the benefit of our customers," added Dr. Ryan.

Mein Auto: 91 318i and 90 Cabrio
View My Garage
Delphini asked about a 5 speed swap. Ive done countless hours of research on this swap over the past few months . I just always had my little 318 with the 5spd. But my 325is wasnt. Now that i have my cabrio theres no choice
im going 5 speed. So heres a list of what you will need.
5 speed transmission 100$ (junkyard)
Driveshaft for a 5 speed 25$(junkyard)
brake and clutch pedal 20$ (junkyard)
gear shifter and mechanisms 20$ (junkyard)
perfect time to get shortshift kit
shift knob ($?depends on preference)
brake fluid resivoir 20$ (junkyard)
Most have clippable nipple on the right front side So a replacement might not be needed.
clutch kit 239$(always new)
shift boot 11$
new guibo 40$
new transmission mounts 30$
transmission support (metal part) from 325i or E 15$ (junkyard)
If you have owned your car long enough you will know what all of this is. If you have no idea how to even start. I recommend owning your car a little longer and researching
This list will help you get up a price list if nothing else. I located a local junkyard over the phone and got this list. My recommendation is to find a complete 5 speed e30 in a junkyard and remove all of the components. Make sure it doesnt have like 240K
The automatic transmission has a switch on the shifter. If its not in Park it wont start. So you have to remove that switch and hardwire it. I have heard rumor of the cruise control acting up when a swap is done. I guess ill have to find out and let you guys know
No where else id rather be

*Please Note*
I am very selective about who I shoot nudes with. If I haven't shot with you before, chances are I wont do a nude shoot with you. If you want to contact me about doing a nude shoot, be prepared to talk about prices because I do require pay for these shoots. Additionally, I do not do erotic nudes.

Remember that word.
Terabit means one trillion bits to you and me, and is roughly equal to all of the daily traffic on the Internet for the entire world. If the guys in the knee-length white lab coats at the Bell Labs start pushing the envelope on the Web the way they have with the research, this broadband stuff will take on a whole new meaning.
Setting a new record, researchers at Lucent's Bell Labs have, for the first time, managed to push an astonishing 3.28 terabits per second of data over a long stretch of fiber-optic cable. This means that this Lucent fiber could transmit three times the daily global Internet traffic every second.
That is one second.
To make it even more astonishing, some experts are saying this breakthrough is just the beginning. In a matter of years, the fiber-optic cable being laid today -- by companies such as America's Fiber Network that will service the Pennsylvania towns of Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, and York -- could be transmitting data at the rate of tens of thousands of terabits per second.
At these speeds, the entire written works of mankind -- including prehistoric cave writings -- could be beamed across the globe at the speed of light in just a second or two.
The terabit uses optical fiber, which is made from silica fiber stretched thinner than human hair. Lasers operating in the near-infrared range of the light spectrum beam information across it. More than 215 million kilometers -- that's roughly 133 million miles -- of optical fiber have been laid across the globe, more than enough to stretch to the moon and back 280 times, according to the Bell Labs.
These astonishing advances in bandwidth will largely be driven by two factors, according to David Nagel from AT&T Labs: 1) the speed of lasers used to encode the data, and 2) the number of lasers operating at different wavelengths that can be carried by a single fiber. Nagel said that scientists are developing terabit lasers, which would be capable of handling all of AT&T's daily telephone traffic -- more than 300 million calls -- plus all the data traffic, all on a single laser. Meanwhile, the number of wavelengths a single fiber can simultaneously carry is doubling every year. At the moment, optical networks carry 40 wavelengths per fiber, Nagel said. Eighty-wavelength systems are already available, and 160-wavelength systems will be introduced to the public next year.
All of this is happening, of course, because of the demand (or marketing) of the need for broadband Internet access. AT&T is the largest cable owner and operator in the United States and would have the rights to granting cable modem access to more cable subscribers than any company in the world.
If AT&T can offer the terabit to its customers soon, it will revolutionize the broadband Internet access revolution. It could make DSL broadband access look like 8-Track cassettes.
In April, Suburban Cable will offer broadband Internet access in Lancaster city and township. This will make it the area's second major cable company to stake a claim in the emerging broadband market. But will the company have enough resources to battle the big cable companies?
Probably, says Suburban cable spokesman Frank Lynch, who said the cable company's offering in April has already attracted a lot subscribers.
About 95% of Internet users have dial-up access offered by ISPs like AOL and EarthLink, but the Forrester Research Group predicts that by 2002, cable modems and broadband access will account for 80% of the Internet market.
Just remember that little word.
You can say it quickly.

KIM KARDASHIAN: Man in Black Face Forced Kim Out of Vienna Ball
The reality star was paid half-a-million dollars to be the "date" of Richard Lugner, an Austrian businessman known for paying starlets to accompany him to the Vienna Annual Opera Ball. But Kim reportedly "stormed out" of the event after a white man working the event approached her in blackface pretending to be Kanye West.
Kim says that wasn't the only problem. Lugner was allegedly "aggressive" and a bit handsy, grabbing her and trying to get her alone.
In an interview, Lugner bad-mouthed Kim for ditching him and said, "Kim is annoying me."
All the shenanigans, of course, were caught on film for her reality show.

OK, so I honestly thought you were kidding. You'll have to excuse my ignorance on the subject, I know next to nothing about physics and the formula for determining a vehicle's torque...but are you honestly saying that you believe removing 8lbs from the roof of an M Coupe will generate any where near 32lb/ft of torque? That means this roof mod would have the same, if not greater, affect on torque production as the 4.10 I just installed...
...if that's the case, I'm ordering one today.

Praise for Spring & NaPoWriMo
In reading the insightful discourse on online intimacies, I found myself thinking deeply about the importance of the online community for poetry. Mainly I was thinking about the odd and blossoming event that has happened every April for the past five years: National Poetry Writing Month. Now, we all know it's National Poetry Month, but to some poet/bloggers, it is also the month where they challenge themselves to write one poem for each day of the month. And post their journey online. Founded by Maureen Thorson and inspired by National Novel Writing Month, the participants are now upwards of fifty and the fevered attempt to write everyday is celebrated, sometimes embarrassingly (as when I participated), in full view of the public eye.
Going against the need most writers' have to hold their poems close to their chest until the poem is revised, revised, and revised again, this lovely movement allows seasoned writers and new writers to flex both their writing muscle and their humility. When I participated (this April presented too many time commitments), I found that although it was difficult and at times excruciating, I actually wrote many poems that I later revised and published. AND, I started to look forward to writing everyday, a habit that I still do, even if it's just a line or a thought here and there. The other part of this project that made me so thrilled was that I started to look forward to reading everyone else's daily poems with eagerness. Some wrote on one theme, some even tried to do two a day. And yes, these poems weren't perfect. They needed the attention that only time and reflection can add to a poem, but they were honest and raw and wonderfully wild first drafts. Buzzing fits of poetic mania.
And it continues. More poets every year. If you go to Maureen's blog Squash Blossom! she lists the participating poets in her blogroll. To quote Maureen, "I just sort of started doing it in 2003, while I was still in law school. I had read about a NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) movement that was held in the prior November, and thought that, as long as April was National Poetry Month, I might as well start doing something similar." Okay. Let's stop there. Did she just say that she started writing a poem a day while in LAW SCHOOL?! Wow.
(Let's insert this here: I can barely write a poem when I get devastated by the news, or feel too busy with the bully business of life.)
So, today's shout out is to those brave enough to write a poem a day and stick out National Poetry Writing Month. There are many people participating and now that the drunken tizzy of weather has begun and it truly feels like spring, maybe I might try my hand at it too. (A bit late, but fully enthusiastic.) Tonight, I got home late from work, bought some ridiculous, have-no-shame daffodils, turned off the news, and now I am going to write a poem. Maybe you should too?

hey ada,
i love the new blossoms of napowrimo poems. loved the idea so much, that i am participating in National Blog Writing Month at my blog (blindelephant.blogspot.com). writing a blog post everyday because spring and all (tho it is so so excruciating).
take care,
No doubt that careful revision of every poem one writes would result in a good-sized batch of high-quality poems, but one wonders if an equally efficient method would be to focus on quantity over quality, writing a poem in one go, revising along the way, but letting it stand without going through multiple drafts. One would end up with many bad poems, but the sheer number of good poems would make up for it. Just a thought.
As someone else who wrote poetry while in law school, I'd like to give kudos to Maureen and the others who are writing daily this month. I wrote a poem a day my first year in law school ('98), and still on occasion write more than one a day, but my days of writing a poem a day for any extended period of time are long over. It takes enormous stamina. Thirty in one month is a significant accomplishment, and folks doing that this April should be proud of their commitment. Thanks for this note, Ada, and happy NaPoWriMo.
— Seth
I love the wild flurry of a poem a day made public. Somehow in losing our self consciousness, I think we find a bit of magic. Thanks, Ada, for this article.
Tried the poem a day thing, too. Exhausting, yes, but the poems had more of a unified feel and tone than if they'd been done the conventional way. It was fun. All it took was discipline – and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Lots.
This is my second year of trying to write NaPoems. If you get a few decent ones out of the group I feel it is a win 🙂 But sometimes blogging about it each day is even harder than writing the poems themselves.

Finally, after decades of oppression, the military government of Burma has decided t adopt the ideas of democracy as the center of society. Over 600 prisoners were released from jail by the Myanmar government in response to please from US Secretary of State who urged them to take such steps in order to gain support from nations of the world. Political activists, journalists, an even a former prime minister were given get-out-of-jail cards to jubilation in the streets of Burmese cities.
We have criticized President Obama for foreign policy mistakes. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deserves praise for her work in assisting Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi to create conditions leading to democracy in her nation. Believe it or not, the US can sometimes do the right thing!

Q&A: Nacho Beristain
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Among the 2011 class of inductees to the International Boxing Hall of Fame this weekend is legendary Mexican trainer and manager Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain.
The 67-year-old Beristain has trained 22 champions including three Hall of Famers, Ricardo 'Finito' Lopez, Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez and Daniel Zaragoza. Currently he trains one of the best fighters in the world in recent years, three-time world champion Juan Manuel Marquez, who is a serious contender for the Hall of Fame in the future.
How do you feel now that you're about to enter the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York?
A lot of emotions. A feeling of gratitude to many people over a long time. I've been in in boxing for 52 years and reaching this maximum honor for me is a culmination of what boxing means in my life.
Anyone special to express gratitude to?
Many people. Adolfo Perez, my children, my 22 world champions, my friends, boxing fans and the press who have followed my life in boxing.
Note: Trainer Adolfo "el Negro" Perez hired Nacho as his assistant trainer and give him the chance to work in the gym with professional fighters.
A sad moment in boxing?
The death of my wife and my son Ignacio in 1979. That situation was sad in my life but it gave me strength to continue and believe that each day they are with me and inspiring me to continue in boxing
Who is Nacho Beristain really?
Someone who has lived and will always live for boxing. A father of 4 children who have been the best in the field of education and professional life. A man that if it is necessary to work one hour, I prefer to work three or four done well with dedication and love for what I do. I arrive at 8am at the gym and go at 3pm but with the satisfaction that I did something for those kids who see a better tomorrow in boxing.
What is the source of your success as a trainer?
In my desire to learn to be a trainer, the government gave me the opportunity to be on the Olympic Committee and to be in four Olympics, which allowed me to develop as a trainer. When I decided to enter professional boxing I was able to implement what I learned. Every day I think about how to evolve and support the rhythm of training.
Is there something the sanctioning organizations should change?
That the respect for the boxer prevails and that they protect his health and both personal and economic integrity. I think it is time for governments to look closely at this issue and put a stop to many fights. The boxing organizations are family consortiums or corporations and boxing has become a big free market of supply and demand.
What are your plans after the Hall of Fame?
Continuing to work. After 22 world champions, to see if I can reach 25. There are some such as Juan Carlos Salgado and Eduardo Escobedo and others that I hope will be crowned world champions. I'll stop being in boxing when I no longer has the energy and health, but while I have them I will continue in boxing.
What the difference between boxing yesterday and today?
You used to have to go a long way to be a world champion. It was a privilege, an honor to become world champion and a journey full of challenges and obstacles. Today it is easier to be world champion due to TV and the commercialization of the sport. I've seen the recent coronations of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and didn't feel the same atmosphere of the glory of victory as in earlier eras. Today we know who will be crowned world champion.
Who would you have liked to train?
Bernard Hopkins. He was born for boxing, a complete and disciplined boxer. The ideal boxer we all want to find is only born every once in a while.
What will be the legacy of Nacho Beristain to the boxing world?
My commitment and dedication, from the gym until the last minute of the fight. Living every day with the triumphs and failures of the boxer — to be with him in the corner and every day like a father, part of his life in society.

Restorative material such as composites and porcelain crowns provide longevity and beauty. Dental implants are the most predictable replacements for missing teeth. Dental Implants restore full function and strength of natural teeth while providing a life time of success and predictability. Invisalign braces are now the treatment of choice for patients who always dreaded wearing traditional metal braces. Invisalign braces are easy to use, extremely comfortable and provide a very predictable treatment that usually takes half the time that traditional metal braces take. And when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, Dental Veneers provide immediate and most predictable result for patients who desire a more beautiful smile. Dental Veneers are the treatment of choice for patients who would like to improve their looks in a short period of time.
I have never felt happier to live in 21st century. Today's Dentistry is light years ahead of what it was in 18th century. Inventions such as anesthetic agents and dental instruments combined with advances in science and technology have helped dentistry become one of the most successful practices to render patients the most predictable treatments.
At Portola Dental, we provide our patients with comprehensive care by combining the use of Dental Implants, Invisalign braces and Dental Veneers along with other restorative procedures such as composite fillings, lava and porcelain crowns to maximize function, longevity and beauty.
For many, there is nothing to be dreaded more than a trip to the dentist's office. Just like today, tooth decay was an unpleasant part of life in the past. Unlike today, however, there was not a lot that could be done to prevent it. Most people who found themselves with a toothache ended up in the hands of the local barber-surgeon, who would then extract the rotten tooth sans anesthetic. Before the 18th century, this often involved tying a string around the tooth; a drum might be played in the background to distract the patient, getting louder as the moment of extraction grew nearer. To advertise their services as 'tooth-pullers', many barber-surgeons hung rows of rotten teeth outside their shops.
As time wore on, new techniques were invented for extracting teeth. The tooth key was first mentioned in Alexander Monro's Medical Essays and Observations in 1742. The claw was placed over the top of the decaying tooth; the bolster, or the long metal rod, was placed against the root. The key was then turned and, if all went well, the tooth would pop out of the socket. Unfortunately, this did not always go to plan. Often, the tooth shattered as the key was turned and had to be plucked from the bleeding gum tissue piece by piece.
Of course, the loss of a tooth could leave a person aesthetically challenged. Wealthy patrons were increasingly unhappy to go around in public with missing teeth. In the 18th century, surgeons began experimenting with implants. Patients who could afford it might choose between 'live' or 'dead' teeth. With the former, the recipient would have his or her rotten tooth removed before a 'selection of donors', who would then have their own teeth extracted until one was found that was 'deemed acceptable in appearance'. Afterwards, the tooth was inserted into the empty socket and fixed using a silver wire or silk ligatures.
Although desirable, having a 'live' tooth implanted into one's mouth was a costly endeavor. For the thrifty costumer, teeth extracted from the mouths of the dead proved cheaper. According to one resurrectionist, 'It is the constant practice to take the teeth out first…because if the body be lost, the teeth are saved'. During the 19th century, a good set of teeth could fetch as much as 5 guineas. Indeed, the practice was so profuse that one Professor of Anatomy at Trinity College remarked, 'very many of the upper ranks carry in their mouths teeth which have been buried in the hospital fields'. Unfortunately for some unlucky recipients, syphilis and tuberculosis were unknowingly transmitted into their mouths from infected donors.
Dentistry, as we understand it today, did not emerge as a licensed profession until the end of the 19th century. That said, one need not suffer in the past with a toothache as long as a barber-surgeon was at hand. For little cost and a lot of pain, the rotten tooth could be extracted and put on display in front of the barber's shop.

If they don't even know the shells their gun is designed to handle--------- maybe you should buy the Benelli!! Check it out below.

I don't reccomend them because I have seen too many SBE (I & II's) break in the field, including my own (and I sure don't have that gun now). One guy I know with a new SBE II that he paid 1400 bucks for takes his 'ol Mossy in the truck as backup. One season, and it has broken on him about every 3rd time.
I'd take my 11-87 way before I take out a SBE.

The ACLU is suing the city of New Orleans on behalf of an evangelist over absurdly broad speech restrictions and the judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the ordinance to be enforced pending the outcome of the case. AP reports:
U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon issued a temporary restraining order Friday that blocks enforcement of the law for now.
Under the law, Christian evangelists were arrested earlier this month and booked with preaching on Bourbon Street during Southern Decadence, an annual celebration of gay culture.
The restraining order came after the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana filed the suit on behalf of Kelsey Nicole McCauley, a member of the Raven Ministries religious congregation.
The ordinance was adopted in October, and violation is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
It's likely that the judge will extend the TRO into a preliminary injunction after a hearing on Monday. Some of the restrictions in the ordinance are likely constitutional, but the definitions are also overly broad. Howard Friedman points out that the law forbids any speech "for the purpose disseminating any social, political, or religious message between the hours of sunset and sunrise."

Patrick Kennedy Will Not Run in 2011
Rhode Island Democratic Representative Patrick Kennedy has announced he will not seek re-election in 2011.
The Associated Press reports that Kennedy, 42, said his life is "taking a new direction," and he will not seek a ninth term. Kennedy did not give more specifics, but said it had been a difficult few years with the death of his father, Ted Kennedy, last summer.
"Illness took the life of my most cherished mentor and confidante, my ultimate source of spirit and strength," Kennedy said in remarks that will air on Rhode Island television stations Sunday. "From the countless lives he lifted, to the American promise he helped shape, my father taught me that politics at its very core was about serving others."

System memory will include 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB options but it will operate at 1333MHz DDR3 instead of 800MHz. Mechanical storage will still start at 250GB but the maximum capacity will be increased from 640GB to 750GB. Samsung's 256GB P810 SSD will be offered on the side. The third revision is also expected to receive options for 3G, LTE or WiMax mobile broadband connectivity.
A few key specifications are still unknown, namely the graphics processor. Being a gaming machine, the chosen GPU could make or break the M11x's appeal. There is some concern that Dell will opt for Sandy Bridge's integrated graphics core instead of providing a discrete solution. The current system ships with a 1GB GeForce GT 335M, a mid-grade chip capable of running demanding tiles, if only on low settings.
It's also unclear whether the refresh will bring USB 3.0 as the existing model only comes with USB 2.0. The system will come in red, black and "SoftTouch" options, but we assume Dell hasn't made any drastic cosmetic changes. Pricing is unknown, but last year's Core i5-520UM model currently starts at $999 and we've always gotten the impression that Dell wants to keep the M11x reasonably affordable.


text: Radar has a new report that says Harry Styles split with Taylor Swift because she is asexual and does not want to "put out" enough for someone like him and would rather stay inside and discuss antiques. All that made me think about all night is why she and Jake Gyllenhaal split up. Do you think they clashed over their antique loves? Different periods and all that? She is classical French colonial and he is more of a British 19th century kind of guy? I could see that. Knockdown dragouts while watching Antiques Roadshow. Shaking with excitement when a new Christie's auction catalog comes in the mail. Harry was more interested in partying and having as much fun as possible and enjoying his fleeting boy band fame. I get that and you know it was doomed even without taking into account Taylor's past romances. She is a stay home lets get married and cuddle on the couch while we look at our cats kind of person and Harry is lets get naked in the hot tub and drink booze while we watch porn kind of guy.

Pan-Roasted Lamb Chops with Mashed Potato Cake
Slideshow: More Amazing Lamb Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 pounds plum tomatoespeeled, quartered lengthwise and seeded
- 1/2 cup small green olives, such as Picholine, pitted and chopped
- 1/2 cup brine-cured black olives, such as Gaeta, pitted and chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Eight 6-ounce bone-in lamb loin chops
- Mashed Potato Cake
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 200°. Spread the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with the thyme and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Arrange the tomatoes on the sheet in a single layer and bake for 2 hours, or until slightly dried and firm. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the olives, garlic, lemon zest and basil.
Raise the oven temperature to 450°. In 2 heavy-bottomed ovenproof skillets, heat the vegetable oil until almost smoking. Season the chops with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn the chops and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the skillets to the oven and roast for about 6 minutes for medium rare. Set the lamb on plates and serve with the tomato relish and a wedge of Mashed Potato Cake.
Suggested Pairing
The assertive combination of lamb and the olive and tomato relish needs a robust red that can stand up to and complement those strong flavors. Look for one from Spain or California that is full bodied, supple, yet complex and spicy, with a slight black olive note in the background.

Detailed landscape plan for the North section of the Bailang River north of Jiqing Highway, Weifang
Lawson, Gill M. Detailed landscape plan for the North section of the Bailang River north of Jiqing Highway, Weifang. [Design/Architectural Work]
International practice-led design research in landscape architecture has identified wetland sites as highly significant and potentially fragile environments in many countries. China has considerable wetland acreage that has been drained and transformed into farmland to address local poverty of farmers. An important gap in knowledge exists as to how to design Chinese public open spaces to reduce water contamination, flood severity and loss of farmland for local villagers as urban development expands. This project responded to the opportunity of introducing a new type of wetland design to Stage 3 of the Bailang River Redevelopment, Weifang City, Shandong Province. The work proposed a range of wetland design innovations for Chinese wetland environments to encourage on-site solutions to contamination and flooding problems.

If you're on Facebook, you've probably seen the following in circulation; you may have even received it in an e-mail:
Bill Cosby "I'm 83 and Tired"Now, according to Snopes, Mr. Cosby never wrote or said this – in fact, Snopes attributes it to one Robert A. Hall.
I'm 83. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some (sic) serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck them selves (sic) in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
This is your chance to make a difference.
" I'm 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree you are part of the problem!
Exactly. As one commenter pointed out:
It's a lie to attribute it to someone who didn't say it, so it will receive more impact. No one would care what it said if it was Joe Schmo in Cucamonga. (emphasis mine)Our society has been geared to ignore the words of the 'Joe Schmo's' out there – who are, more often than not, people who've actually experienced the things they write and speak about or have spent the greater parts of their lives studying and analyzing – and to take to heart the words of actors, actresses, songsters, comedians, and politicians who, more often than not have little knowledge of the topics they pontificate upon beyond what's been handed to them in a script, in a piece of poetry-set-to-music, or to the infamous 'talking-points' provided by others who have (perhaps) marginally more knowledge on a subject than they themselves do. Far more often, particularly when it comes to 'talking-points', these so-called 'experts' are voicing the opinions of their writers rather than basing their words on studyable, analyzable facts and figures.
When did celebrities become the 'experts'? Long about the time that our schools began teaching that all truths are relative, and that facts and figures are pretty much meaningless – only what you think about something really matters. Since celebrities (and I'm including our celebrity-politicians in this mix) play to the emotions (you don't go to a concert or a movie to be taught, you go to be entertained, and what are inaugurations these days other than a multi-hour talent show?), whatever emotional response can be dredged out of the members of the audience does, in fact, become 'truth' in the minds of the malleable – minds tenderized by the therapeutic method of teaching.
It's ridiculous that in order for people to so much as read information such as the above, one ends up resorting to attributing it to a celebrity in order to get people to even read it.

Generate Design | Word Clock by Hans Muller and Hans van Dongen
A real cool idea, but at $230, it won't be seen at my home any time soon. This clock has words to show time instead of numbers. On one side there are written numbers,and on the other it has the phrases "ten minutes past" or "a quarter past", creating times reading "Twenty minutes past one". Pretty cool.
It's a clock! It really is. But it's neither analog or digital...but it is awesome! The appropriate words light up to tell you the time.Tags: art, home decor, clocks, wall, time, word clockAdded 6 Years Ago from Dougswordclock

Does anyone know if the Five-SeveN Tactical is available to the public?
Printable View
Does anyone know if the Five-SeveN Tactical is available to the public?
I wasn't aware, until recently, that there are 3 versions of this gun. If they dropped them in price, they might be more popular.
uh is that a yes then?
Kinda', sorta'
Lol >,<, on THR someone started an arguement about how effective the round was saying it wasnt good for law enforcement, i dont think they realized why the ronud was designed in the first place.
Well, it is a smaller round. I wanna buy the PS90 myself.
I don't know if all of the original versions of the Five-Seven pistol are still around anymore or not.
http://policeguns.com/2006/cart.cfm?...ProductID=5624 is one source (if you can stomach the price.)
California (as a counter example) does NOT list the Tactical model (nor the DAO model) on its list of approved/safe firearms, although the IOM and USG models are listed.
Yes the FN five seven is available at a premium. Retail around 1000.00 I wanted one but now I am uncertain. The rounds are way expensive and travel outside my comfort range. What I have read so far has been positive. Very accurate, very little recoil, 20 round clip... The negative is the down grading of the round... This is what little I have read.
A USG Fiveseven can be had for $800.00.
What does the Tactical model have that makes it so desirable (read +$)? How does it vary from the other models?
What is the difference? and which one is the single action/4lp trigger version?
I thought that there were only two versions the USG(DAO) and the IOM (Single action)?
Nice collection, by the way!
Hows ammo? is it easy to find? expensive? I read, that you cannot buy the armor piercing SS192(?) so what is the point of the 5.7 round, without armor piercing abilities? does it actually have decent "stopping power"?
You can still find the SS192 ammo for around $50 a box. The SS190 is actually the armor piercing round. The SS192 will not penetrate steal. However, it will penetrate Kevlar body armor. The replacement round (SS195 is not suppose too). I used to be a .44 magnum carrier, until I research the 5.7. Now I use it to for home protection and to carry.
With the low recoil, I can fire 3 accurate rounds before I can start to fire my second .44 round. This same discussion was hashed over when the 9mm came out. I read something at that time that rings true today. Two shots to the body and One shot to the head, The person will not know that it was a 9mm. Being proficient with what ever pistol you own is the most important thing. In my own opinion, the 5.7 has plenty of stopping power.
What is the legality of the SS190/SS192 ammo? are they NFA, is the old stuff fine, but the newly manufactured stuff banned, (like the Assault weapon ban) or is SS190/SS192 perfectly legal for civies to buy/sell, and FNH just sells it only to gov?
Which model do you like the most? Does the USG have a 4lb trigger?
Check this out, made me laugh!

Now that's good news ! :35:
I imagine that there will be some new rules?
A nice new look, too. Should be great when it comes back!
:35: Nice to get it back
Good new! Thanks for posting.
Very I-I-interesting!!!!
Looks as though they may have been victorious.
And some history for those of us who have no idea who they are and what happened?
They were threatened with a lawsuit for posting news stories that infringed on copyright protection. Some opportunist bought rights to the news stories and threatened to sue a gaggle of internet portals, not just armed citizen, for same reason. Total BS!
It's the reason most people on this forum these days just post a snippet of the story and a link instead of the whole story now. Fair use allows us to do that, but posting the whole story can technically infringe on copyrights.

While the Sunday focus of Vikings fans will be on their game with Houston, there will be reason to follow the ticker on the bottom of the screen to keep other games in mind. To make the process easier, here is who Vikings fans should be cheering for:
New Orleans – The Saints are out of the playoff hunt, but could provide the needed damage to the Cowboys in their playoff chase and take the "they control their own destiny" chatter out of play.
Washington – For the Vikings to have a realistic playoff hope, Washington needs to either win both or lose both games they have remaining. Seeing as the Eagles are the first of those two games, Go Redskins!
Arizona – The Cardinals are a much better team at home and the free falling Bears could use another unexpected beat-down to teach their fans some manners.
Baltimore – The Giants need to lose another game to complicate their defense of the Super Bowl title. The Ravens need to right the ship and they're at home. Vikings fans want the New York Post to have a brutal Eli Manning headline.
San Francisco – The Vikings could still pass Seattle if they lose their final two games. This also has implications for first-round byes. A 49ers win would require the Packers to win their final two games and San Francisco to lose at home to hapless Arizona in Week 17 to give Green Bay a first-round bye.
Tennessee – The Titans' game with the Packers means nothing in the big picture of things, but any time the Packers lose, it's a good thing for purple lovers.
The ideal scenario for the Vikings would actually have Philly beating Washington, but that may be too much to ask. Any scenario in which the Vikings and Redskins would be head-to-head is a loss for Minnesota, but, if all three of the NFC East frontrunners lose and Green Bay loses, the Packers will have nothing to play for in Week 17. They will be locked into the No. 3 seed and might treat the Week 17 matchup with the Vikings like the third preseason game – play the starters for a half and see what happens.
The Vikings need to take care of their own business to maintain their spot in the postseason pool, but the Dirty Half-Dozen (the Redskins, Saints, Cardinals, Ravens, 49ers and Titans) are worth following because they will be the teams that determine the tea-leaf reading at midnight tonight. That's what you get when, regardless of what you do, you don't control your own destiny.

Rumors of an R18 Hybrid have been floating around for awhile now, but it wasn't until today that we had confirmation that the cars testing at Sebring were of the new Hybrid variety. In addition to the hybrid components, the car is also rumored to have an entirely new monocoque that is aimed to provide with improved visibility. You can see very clearly that the R18H and R18 from this season have several subtle design differences. Audi hasn't come out and announced their plans yet but the fact that they are now testing out in the open like this lends us to think that we will be hearing official word soon. Once thing is certain, Audi is preparing very hard for the FIA World Endurance Championship for 2012 and we couldn't be more excited!
To make this a bit easier we have paired together a few pictures comparing the 2011 R18 and 2012 R18 Hybrid.
Our spy photographers were able to capture these high resolution images. Enjoy!

That said, I would LIKE to post a recap of my weekend (including the banquet with my public speaking debut . . . ) but that's just going to have to wait for a quieter day (which apparently may never come).
Instead, I'm going to waste my time rambling about how busy and tired I am. Wise decisions people, that's what has gotten me where I am.
But seriously, I just hopped on here to put up my I Heart Faces picture for the week. The theme is Autumn Beauty, and I managed to take this picture of my sweet cousin while we were in Michigan last week that I thought fit the theme just perfectly.
I Heart Faces this week. Not that I will have time to look at them. . .but you should.

Mind you, the (relative) low quality of the TV version didn't stop me and a colleague walking out of a course to watch an episode, when it was first shown in the early 1980s (no video recorders then, kiddywinks). We had been broken up into teams and set some work to prepare for the next day. Tony and I announced to our team leader that everything had to be done and dusted before nine o'clock, as we were going to watch the Hitchhikers' Guide, no matter what. If the team hadn't finished by then, the two of us wpuld simply walk out. I don't think she believed us. Her expression at 8.58, when we left the room, her not having got the team to complete the task, was a treat. Not that she'd got them much further when we reappeared at 9.30, so we might as well have been watching the telly anyway.
Douglas Adams, of course, died while working on the film version. This wasn't the first attempt at one, and he'd walked out of several previous negotiations (including one where a Hollywood producer had suggested Hugh Grant as Arthur Dent).
I look forward to the film, and to my expectations of disappointment being proved ill-founded.
BTW, for those unfortunate to have missed yesterday's broadcast, it was superb!
