This is the story of two brewers & breweries, both in Northern California. Each has won multiple awards at The Great American Beer Festival – in fact, each won a Brewmaster of the Year award at the 1999 GABF. The first is a brewery you've likely heard of – it's a small outfit in Santa Rosa called Russian River Brewing Company. The other? As the title suggests, it's the now-defunct Elk Grove Brewing.
Clearly the continued success at Russian River is well-deserved. Vinnie & his brewing team continue to rack up awards, honors and other tangibles that measure a company's success. This story is not about Russian River.
Elk Grove Brewing & its brewmaster Bill Wood didn't stop winning awards in 1999. In fact, between 2000 and 2008 (the year it closed) the brewery brought home EIGHT GABF medals (two in 2001, one in 2003 and 2004, two in 2006 and 2008). This was no slouch in the beer industry, clearly. In fact, I'm willing to bet you'd be more than happy if your local brewery performed that well year after year. So, what happened?
I don't fully understand, clearly, but it seems to me that a business closes because it doesn't have enough butts in seats to pay its bills. This example of a brewery closing, to me, is the most clear reason I can point at to support your local brewery. Why wouldn't you? Do you know how many great small breweries there are in this country? It seems likely to this writer that you live pretty damn close to a place that makes fantastic beer – but does your community know? Do you continually choose the trendy craft beer over the local craft beer – of world-class quality?
For me, "Beer Weeks" around the country are a celebration of Beer – not just beer (the liquid), but the people that make it, sell it, distribute it, serve it and keep that process repeating. As you likely know, I have taken on the role of Beer Director for Sacramento Beer Week. I do this not for the love of liquid, but for the appreciation of the industry overall and the fear that if we don't create a reason to support our local brewers on a large-scale, we could see even more great brewers lost to closures. It's happened too much here.
Breweries that Have Closed Around Sacramento & The Names I Associate with Them
- Elk Grove Brewing – Bill Wood
- Oasis (Sacramento Brewing) – Peter Salmond, Peter Hoey
- BJs (though they only closed brewery) – Andy Armstrong, David Mathis
- Beermann's Beerwerks – Mike Sutherland, Tim Spinelli, Andy Armstrong (again) & many more
- Sacramento Brewing – Peter Hoey (again)
Sacramento Beer Week isn't just a nine-day, beer-crazed romp, it's a way for me (and Dan Scott, the Executive Director) to get people excited about their local breweries. Each of the places above made GOOD beer – at least! Still, it seems that our community chose to embrace the more trendy beers – be it craft or industrial (mostly industrial, here). It's a shame.
To be perfectly fair, I also understand that at least two of these closures had nothing to do with beer sales, but closed due to the fact that they had large restaurants attached that were under-performing. I don't believe that is the case for for the other three, however.
So, beyond beer week – what can you do? It's simple really. Stop in on occasion to fill a growler, enjoy a pint – have meetings – at your local brewery. I know you're only one person – I suffer the same experience. Still, it's good to do what we can individually in hopes to make a collective difference. There's no good reason great breweries should be forced to close its doors. Don't let your local, award-winning brewery suffer the same fate as Elk Grove.
About Bill Wood
Bill, the former brewmaster at Elk Grove, works today as Head Brewer for Auburn Alehouse (with Brewmaster & Owner, Brian Ford). Auburn Alehouse took home its first-ever medal from GABF in 2010, for its Pilsner.

How to Clear Up Baby Acneby Tiffany Silverberg
Even on his worst days, your baby is perfect to you, but it may be hard to ignore those nasty red or white bumps that are starting to cover his skin. It's baby acne. Although it may be hard to make a connection between hormone-crazed teenagers and your little bundle of joy, even the smallest ones can have acne. The best thing you can do is to clean that smiling face and relax, knowing the acne will likely go away on its own in a matter of months.
Items you will need
- Soft burp cloth
- Soft washcloth
- Mild soap
- Soft towel
- Onesie
- Favorite toy
Wipe any milk, saliva or other liquid from your baby's skin as soon as it starts to collect. This is especially important after he eats or when he is drooling.
Dip a soft washcloth in warm water and mild soap and wipe your child's face and skin once a day, primarily in areas where moisture might be omnipresent, such as in her neck or around her mouth. Rinse the washcloth with warm water and wipe the area to remove any soap. Dry with a soft towel. Don't moisturize unless your baby's skin is dry or chapped, because excess oil can contribute to breakouts.
Put your baby in cool outfits, such as onesies, as the weather allows. You will notice that the rash or acne flares up when he is crying or excessively warm. For special occasions like photo shoots or video recordings, dress him in cool clothes and keep him calm with a favorite toy or blanket to minimize the appearance of the acne.
Make an appointment to see the doctor, if you don't have a routine appointment set, after your child is six months old. If the acne hasn't cleared up by this point, your baby may have another underlying issue causing it. The doctor can determine whether the rash is simple baby acne or if it may be caused by a more serious issue. He may prescribe a topical cream to treat the acne.
- Do not try to pick or poke the pimples or acne. Let your child's skin heal itself and grow with him. Picking at the acne can cause unnecessary pain and infection.

Hamster Exercise Balls
As far as "fun" goes, hamster toys don't get much better than the run-about. Your pet isn't the only one having fun either. My whole family gets a real kick out of watching our little guy ripping around the living room. "Turco", our little pet, has even followed my kids around before. Nothing is funnier than watching a child being chased by a hamster in a plastic ball. I think a picture is probably in order soon...
If you have any fragile accessories on top of your coffee table, you may want to keep a close eye on the hamster exercise ball though. One time, our hamster ran into the table and sent a very nice vase crashing to the floor. Our hamster remained unhurt though.
This brings me to the final thing I love about this particular hamster toy. The run-about is very safe. They're usually constructed of a very heavy duty plastic and can thus take a lot of abuse. I've never had one crack on me. That said, you shouldn't let your hamster play with this toy unsupervised. Keep an eye on him at all times as he's running around your house in his new favorite little ball.

What are the side effects on the hamster after all that rolling which he has no control over. The hamster is just trying to get out of that ball?ReplyDelete
Thank You

Are we sure that the hamster is really happy in the ball or frightened by the untrolled rolling.ReplyDelete
Thank You

I think it's sad to watch a hamster rolling around in tha plastic jail with no way to get out and all the animals lovers laughing at it.ReplyDelete
I think your article on the ball is a sales pitch for sales. How would you like to be locked up in a ball and rolling around not able to get pout with all the neighbors laughing.
Thank You
- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2010 at 8:24 AM
We would like some comments from animal lovers about that sadistic toy called a ball.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 15, 2011 at 2:24 PM
You guys are complete morons above me. The hamsters enjoy the ball and have a blast running around. The reason of the ball is so the hamster can't get into places you wont be able to grab it. The majority of hamsters love them and you guys are idiots for thinking otherwise.ReplyDelete

Skin Problems & Treatments Health Center
Nail Fungus on the Rise in the U.S.
He agrees that nail fungus is very prevalent. "You can even get it by going out in your own backyard without shoes. Or pick it up from the carpet if another family member has it. ... Some people actually get pain from it. You can go on to get an infected toe, which is particularly a problem with diabetics and people with circulatory problems."
But people now are more aware that something can be done to treat nail fungus, according to Lynde. He points to two drugs taken by mouth that have been added to the treatment arsenal over the past few years to combat the condition -- Sporanox and Lamisil.
Sporanox is taken for a week every four weeks over a 12-week period while Lamisil is taken continuously for three months. With either medicine, it takes nine to 12 months for discoloured fingernails to grow out and one to one-and-a-half years for the toenails to grow out.
Lynde encourages people with infected nails to get some medical attention. Nail fungus is not life threatening, but there's no reason to not have nails treated, particularly if it makes someone feel self-conscious, which it often does, he says.
Some simple steps can help prevent nail fungus. Lynde suggests wearing flip-flops at the local swimming pool or at the gym, drying the feet fully, and then powdering shoes and feet immediately afterward.

precisely what is the which means of perfection in exchange for home ? in fact perfection is where you see your own home is complete with all elements of your new toy and suitable since you wish includes the flagstone walkway. if you really are definitely not happy along with the manner your front walkway appearance and its doable lack of curb appeal, you could wish to dress it up by having new look using natural flagstones.
the common procedure to apply the flagstone is using bed of sand in addition to a mortar. in recent article we recommend you within the mortar and get a additional permanent installation. it is really significantly better to possess the flagstone within the mortar installation.
flagstone walkway installation isn't too challenging to apply it by yourself really, however you can want and notices a few details in order to make it good. the walkway that several of us selected could be a concrete walkway that goes due to front door, curves around and meets the driveway.
the very 1st few issue that you may have to try and do may be a proper measurements on your space to remain coated and estimates on your materials that could be required. the others can followed to take it complete such below :
Measure the existing walkway to determine the estimated materials needed
- take away and dispose as to the existing concrete walkway
- combine and pour a fresh bed of concrete as a fresh base
- opt for the flagstone
- separate the flagstones by thickness and size regarding the project
- lay the flagstone inside the concrete base using skinny set mortar
- apply a sealer towards the newly laid flagstone
- grout the joints with the right sort of grout
- final sealing as to the grout and flagstone
Afterwards, will need other materials to determine the completion of the project, and these are the materials:
1 Pallet of flagstone (about 1,900 lbs)
23 – 50 lb bags of Sakrete concrete mix
13 – 50 lb bags of Medium Bed Mortar
7 – 50 lb bags of thin set mortar
We chose Custom Building Products Natural Gray Saltillo Tile Grout as it is recommended for larger grout joints.
Ok, now you have all the stuff needed, have a great creation for your Flagstone Walkway.

So is the change in Imp. Corr. to +20% dmg enough to offset the change in co-efficient with the removal of the 2-sec cast time? Don't get me wrong, I love this change but it seems like we're still going to be forced to drop five points in there to keep around the same dps from this spell.
Still, at least we'll gain three points from Emp. Corr. to spend in Ruin.
Alex Ziebart said...
From what I understand, Corruption's coefficient was tuned with the expectation that you'll have Improved Corruption if you're casting it at all. So by lowering the cast time, they're not gutting the coefficient. They're matching up the cast time and coefficient properly. It should be doing more damage now.
I don't play a warlock, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. : )
Dots use these coefficients, indipendent from casting time but depending on dot duration:
As you can see, Corruption coefficient is already nerfed...

That's a completely different scenario from releasing MOP without raids though, that's gating to keep people from diving straight into raids, not releasing the game early because your raids aren't done. While I don't particularly dislike not being able to jump into raids instantly, I don't like the principal of releasing an expansion without raids.
I also wouldn't call the karazhan attunment length, iirc it was two or three quests outside kara, followed by Shadow labs, Steamvaults, Arcatraz and BM. You can argue there were other steps (like Black Morass attunement), but if you were interested in raiding, chances were you were going to have run the instances that "attune" you to the 5mans already.
You could easily do that in a few hours with a guild group.

Tablet Original Fiction: Sent on a gruesome errand, a young man comes undone
His fingers shook, he lost count, my own counting was distracted by his explaining his scheme to coordinate the homeless bundling recyclables: "even charities pay salaries."
When I asked how it'd gone with the tires, he denied all knowledge—"pills destroy the mind"—left neurotic about a bet he'd placed on a hockey match he told me to get the score of, he couldn't bear to face the paper. But when I called Sruly with 6-2/Rangers, it was like he was only humoring my interest.
He said, "from now on, you'll deal with the Mizrahi"—the Mizrahi was the Greek, it figured—"just restrain yourself next time and you'll get yours."
He told me when and where—"I'd go myself but I'm mashgiach by a nursinghome in Whippany."
As far as I understood it the Mizrahi didn't sell just the ADHD meds that Sruly marked up for resale to religious families with plenty kids, without insurance, but also opiates, for the chronic pain of lifting kids, of living—tablets dissolving down from Sinai.
Also anything I wanted, especially ecstasy—"the best," the Mizrahi said, "product of Israel."
Uppers, downers, me—"let him work with who he think's a goy," Sruly said when I returned with the next parcel unopened, "so they don't get the bad impression."
Then he counted out my take, in milligrams, didn't have the rest in cash so went for a machine or to borrow.
I waited—until I was too broke for even a Metrocard and so walked to my grandmother's apartment, but every building stooped the same. Garbage had piled up. None of the buzzers were labeled so I pressed them all, couldn't remember which floor, the only open door held a parkingmeter wearing tzitzit, tightywhities. Shalom? Didn't speak a word. Ethiopian, why should he?
I crept downstairs, got lost in the lobby. I waited for a bus but the line was for a bakery, followed a rumble I was sure was the train. The line wasn't for a bakery, but for a flatbed truck distributing free matzah—free for everyone but me.
A storm grew. I struck my last match, chainsmoked. Scaffolded posters advertised lectures. There was a Tiki-themed—Nouveau Tiki—establishment midblock. Masks dangled from the awning. A totem, chained to the grate, had been graffitied barbigerous with payos. A skittish trim Hasid pasted at the glass. A buff white bouncer yelled at him to stop. The Hasid yelled. Totems and masks. Paste oozed from the glass. Lectures or obituaries.
Clouds gathered, huddled, a wisp of gray hitched to a noxious smear—Sruly's Nissan approached, incontinent with oil, towing a smutty trailer.
I crossed the street, knocked at his window—he was so shocked he clutched his neck—I said, "I didn't mean to."
"Don't worry," letting go his choke, "you'll get your money after this."
He slogged upstairs, left the Nissan idling.
When he returned, his thumb was swollen with gauze. "I had a minor procedure to deal with." I hadn't noticed any bandage before. "You doubt that it's a sign?"
He drove all the way, though I'm not clear where, it's been four months since and foggy—Brighton Beach, the Rockaways, shorefront landfill down past where the BQE swerves to avoid a DUI, tightening the Belt Parkway. Sruly found a break in the boards, rattled our hitch straight onto sand. He shut the car down to moonlessness, only the red of the trailer's reflector and stars, the weather and wake churned as one. Sruly got out, I followed, he got a shovel out of the backseat, handed it to me, scrolled up the trailer's hatch to troughs, had me shovel sand to the troughs as the wind blew the sand back into my face, openmouthed. I stripped my jacket, sweated the rain, filled the flimsy blowing away in the wind tubs like juvie swimmingpools, as Sruly—staying dry in the driver's seat—searched my jacket for my pack, lit my last cig with his lighter and smoked and drank from his styrofoam cup what could've been anything he spiked with shots from his flask, drank it all and extinguished the cig in the cup left in the holder so as not to leave any traces, had me replenish the deep grave of sand in the sand and turned the car around and had me level the tracks of the tires too and when I collapsed back into the car and he tugged the wheel to pull out and turn again toward the Parkway, reversing our route, he was steering just fine with the thumb and the bandage had unraveled.
But instead of taking the Expressway back we loopdelooped and took the bridge. Staten Island to Jersey was all one olamic span of bridge we rode, like we were hopscotching along the outer rim of a turning but stationary, always semisunken ferriswheel.
As we merged into Jersey, the wipers stabbed, and Sruly ranted: this party we'd be meeting would have more liqs for us at the ready—not whiskey, scotch—not vodka, gin—every shelf the topshelf, filled to the top with more cigs too, full cartons, a club with nonstop grinding, he diddled the radio, WFME FM, "Where Faith Means Everything," we'd be put up at this inn, which supplied its own females, had a shvitz and Olympic pool, each room equipped with cable with all the premium channels, the basketballs and footballs, the pornos.
But the Hunan had worn off by the time we'd pulled into this damp moldsplotched fallapart motorlodge squeezed like a fart between a condemned multiplex and a Szechuan buffet/affordable bankruptcy stripmall and the party who was supposed to have received us had to be woken by both our phones and was cursing and meanly pissing in his own vacant lot even as he bargained for a fairer shake, "isn't that what you people do?"
I unloaded the troughs as Sruly insisted, "I never agreed to installing nothing"—which meant I had to empty them too, shoveling their contents into the yawning sandboxes in the playground out back between the minigolf course bereft with only a bulbless lighthouse obstacle and a spalled tennis court without net. I bled for my percentage, while the lodge manager and Sruly himself, thumb totally unbandaged, unloaded the rest of the trailer, the uprooted minuscule trees packed in burlap and flower flats hastily spaded sprinkling enough soil toward the lobby to irk the manager into saying, "forget it"—his wife would deal with replantation whenever she woke up.
He handed a cashwad to Sruly who handed me just enough to cover his debt and though when I balked he gave me a taste of his cut too he grumbled in Yiddish throughout the drive back, stopping only in Middlesex County, once proposing to split the fuel (I refused), once again to ditch the trailer by a major transit hub from which he let me find my own way home (without expenses), "I have a noon horse situation by the Meadowlands," "Pesach is tonight."
Forbidden marriages (but Sruly specialized in divorces), supervising kashrut (the mashgiach gig), mikvah drainage (clogs), tourist excursions to local sites of Jewish interest (East Side Pastrami Pilgrimage/Financial District Twofer), sports betting in the Diamond District, ticket resale, wheelchair rehab, selling used children's shoes, the hydrocodone, the speed, reblocking hats, recycling sheytls (sourcing "the finest Hindu hair")—this was—all of it—Sruly's "rabbinate."

Hopefully Conservatives will unite to successfully expel all RINOs from the Republican party - RINOs such as Colin Powell don't really help the cause. Secondly, they need to develop a party strategy whereby its focus would be to appeal not to the supposed objective intellect of democrats, but rather to their subjective automatic all-controlling personal feelings. Instead of trying to win votes by relying on detailed explanations of the rationality of their proposals, maybe they should instead begin to contrast how democrat policies and their own will impact the feelings, jobs, wallets, liberty, and future well-being of the electorate.

LONDON -- Usually Friday night is one the quietest times in the frenzied world of the English Premier League. Players can be found on gaming consoles in hotel rooms on the eve of games, or resting at home in anticipation of a Sunday game.
But the pre-game calm will be shattered by the closing of the winter transfer window on Friday, with clubs racing to sign reinforcements or offload rejects for the final time this season.
Here are five things to know about the transfer deadline-day and the weekend's Premier League matches:
CLASH OF THE CHALLENGERSManchester City and Chelsea will be relieved their fixture has been shunted back to Monday, minimizing any disruption for their top-of-the-table meeting. "It's the ultimate test," Chelsea defender Gary Cahill said. "It's going to be a really, really tough game."
The City squad hardly needs much tinkering. Manuel Pellegrini's side took its goal tally this season to 115 in all competitions with a 5-1 thumping of Tottenham that took them back to the Premier League summit. At the same time, though, Chelsea was being frustrated by West Ham — drawing 0-0 — and travels to the Etihad three points behind City.
The game pits the stingiest defence — Chelsea has conceded 20 in 23 — against the league's most prolific attack — City has scored 68 in 23. "As a collective unit, as a whole team, we're working really hard defensively, not just at the back," Cahill said. Chelsea got the better of City in their last clash, winning 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in October.
ARSENAL BLIPBeing knocked off the top has taken the wind out of Arsenal's title charge. And after being held at Southampton, the Gunners host a resurgent Crystal Palace on Sunday. "The kind of performance we delivered at Southampton will not move us forward, so let's focus to come back on Sunday and produce a good performance," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.
By then will there be any new faces in an Arsenal side looking to produce a first trophy since 2005? It's unclear. "Are we active? Yes. Are we close to sign anybody? No," Wenger said on Thursday. "There is not long now, that is true." Top of the target list is Julian Draxler, but Schalke doesn't seem to be a willing seller. Schalke sporting director Horst Heldt said he was "very convinced" the 20-year-old attacking midfielder will remain at the German club for the rest of the season. Arsenal will be without midfielders Jack Wilshere, who has an ankle problem, and Aaron Ramsey, who faces several weeks out with a thigh injury.
LEAKY TOTTENHAMTottenham was brought down to earth with a bang by City on Wednesday as Tim Sherwood's unbeaten start as manager in the league ended. The north London club, which has conceded 11 goals to City this season, has what seems to be an easy trip to Hull on Saturday. "We have to be positive because we are still fifth, three points behind Liverpool," goalkeeper Hugo Lloris said. "So it is open. We just need to be focused."
NORTH-EAST DERBYNewcastle is preparing for the derby against Sunderland on Saturday still trying to replace Yohan Cabaye, having received more than $27 million for the midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain this week. Manager Alan Pardew is waiting for a bid for Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier to be accepted. "He has tremendous creative technical ability," Pardew said.
Sunderland, which is out of the relegation zone for the first time since August, signed Argentina striker Ignacio Scocco on Thursday from Internacional.
MOYES EYES MOMENTUMManchester United is chasing its first back-to-back league wins in a month when the champions face Stoke on Saturday still in seventh place. David Moyes' push for the top four is being helped by how easily record-signing Juan Mata slotted into the team for a 2-0 win over Cardiff on Tuesday after joining from Chelsea. "Juan looked like he had been here for years," winger Ashley Young said. "He had only been training for two days and it was his first game but he has gelled straight away."
Luke, Jason and KJ are back in-studio to talk Toronto FC dysfunction, Tim Leiweke's comments, the Whitecaps playoff push, EPL & more.

AGMP presents
JAH WOBBLE'S INVADERS OF THE HEART feat. Aziz Ibrahim
First show in 20 years for Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart
Over the past three decades or so, Jah Wobble has ploughed his own furrow as a prolific solo artist, as well as becoming a well-respected session musician, with a genuine passion for Eastern and Global music. He has worked with a diverse range of musicians, including Baaba Maal, Bjork, Primal Scream, Brian Eno, Sinead O'Connor, Julianne Regan, Dolores O'Riordan, Holgat Czukay, The Edge and Chaka Demus & Pliers.
The man born John Wardle began his musical journey when he met John Lydon and Sid Vicious at Kingsway College, London, in 1973. It was Vicious who not only nicknamed John 'Jah Wobble' after a drunken binge but also loaned him his first bass guitar. Lydon asked JW to join Public Image Limited (aka PiL) in spring 1978. Wardle's distinctive 'low end' bass became the backbone of PiL's pioneering sound. After its follow-up, the exploratory yet sinister soundscapes of 'Metal Box', Wardle became disillusioned by politics within the band and their reluctance to play live. He eventually split from PiL in mid-1980 and embarked on a prolific solo career.
Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart released their debut album in 1990 and recdeived a Mercury Music Prize nomination in 1991 for the 'Rising above bedlam' album. After the acclaimed 'Take me to God' album in 1994 the band split and Jah Wobble launched his own 30 Hertz record label which has subsequently released around 30 albums.
This October, Jah Wobble celebrates his illustrious, 36-year career in music with an ambitious 6-CD box set entitled 'ReDux'. It's a multi-faceted project. Alongside the 6-CD itself, Disc 1 will be released separately as a 'Greatest Hits' while Disc 6 comprises a brand new album of exclusive cover versions. Each of the other discs is themed, concentrating on Wobble's explorations into Dub/World music, Ambient/Spoken word and Jazz, with another disc given over to his pioneering and eclectic post-punk work, during and after his tenure with Public Image Limited. Plus there's a brand new single in there, too, 'Let's Go Psycho'. To launch this release Jah Wobble will be reforming the Invaders of the Heart for a special one off concert at London's award winning Under the Bridge for the first time in 20 years.
Age Restrictions: 14+ ( Under 18's with an adult )

Natalie, "mouth-breathing!" Hahaha. ;)
Kelly, no O yet. I'm on CD20 (Natalie and I have sync'd up, ha!) and no sign yet ... although I'm using the Target Up brand OPK's and I don't really read them until they're dry around noon ... so we'll see at lunch. I'll report back. ;)
I was hoping that I would O on CD20 time time, versus CD29 ... but at least sometime in between (and no later) would be nice.
Natalie, we're both 3dpo! I hope we end up in a dd room together
With all the awesome luck in the March room...I think we'd be a perfect fit!
I think you both would be an amazing fit as well!!
I have done a few things differently this cycle so I want to hear some opinions...
1) Exercise everyday since about 2 weeks ago
2) Soy protein shakes since about 1 week ago
3) Added calcium supplement 1-2 pills x day
Now I've always needed more calcium but it wasn't until last month's super awful PMS that I discovered calcium can ease those symptoms. ANYTHING that can be done to ease them, I will try it!
On to my question: I have felt zero, none, nada, pelvic twinges or O pain or anything down there. This is highly unusual to the point of just...baffling to me, I feel twinges almost everyday in TWW and always feel the O pains.
Do you think these changes could contribute? I think if anything the exercise is the reason. Hopefully I'm getting increased blood flow and muscle tone in my pelvis which is reducing or eliminating those feelings.
Hey Kelly! Clomid is going well? I don't really different honestly so I'm not sure if that is good or bad... I guess we will know in about 10 days or so if I ovulate haha
Hey ladies, still sneaking around cheering for everyone just not feeling very in the game lately and trying to be laid back this cycle. I have even been considering not temping and only doing OPK's since I know when I will O I just don't know if I can give up that control. I didn't say much but I am almost certain that last cycle I had a chemical pregnancy. I had several light tests and when AF came I bled heavily and clotted a lot more than is normal for me.
Sonohystogram tomorrow........will update ya'll tomorrow.....
Hey Rach... Just wanted to say I'm rooting for you and sorry about the chemical...
afm-- Whether you want to call it a fallback rise or a corpus luetum dip (thanks Kay), I don't think it's supposed to happen for 2 days. My temp went down again today. I didn't have a lot of hope for this cycle anyway but it didn't have to turn out to be a weird cycle on top of that.
ETA: scanning FF charts, a small group of charts with FBR occur for 2 days, so it's not completely freakish, but I still don't like it.

EBennett...! Yup, cry and get it out for sure...totally been there!!
Natalie...way to go with exercising consistently !!! I do think exercise makes a huge difference with pelvic congestion/pain. Calcium helps too...I take it because I get leg cramps when I don't but it has the perk of reducing my pms cramps too . Magnesium has helped me with that too but I haven't had cramps with af since I started cycling again in Jan.
Melissa and Natalie...I was in the March 2012 dd room...loooots of good vibes in the March dd room so I'm totally hoping you will both get to hang out in there for 9ish months !!!
Dorcas...cmon o !!
Jessie...that's awesome you're not having any side effects at this point !! Hoping for a good strong o and some healthy swimmers...praying this is your cycle!!
Lizzy...praying it goes well and you get great results !!!
Rach...!! Cps are so emotionally draining...no time time to process the bfp really before it's gone...so hard . Thinking of you and praying!!
Afm...flow is really light but my hpt was a total squinter...can't even get a pic !! Praying for very low numbers tomorrow !!! I'm going skating today...hoping some exercise will kick up my flow a bit .
Thanks Kelly! No +OPK for me yet ... I'm close to needing more OPKs, so I figure if I go ahead and purchase the 100 pack of wondfo's on Amazon I'll O tomorrow and get pregnant this cycle. Right? ;)
Natalie, if it's not one thing it's always another, right?
Rach, sorry about the chemical.
And yes...nothing can ever be simple. But I know there's plenty of progesterone in my system because I can feel it, hooray. I think it has more to do with the soy proteins. I've been avoiding soy for so long that that I wasn't sure what would happen...at least it's not giving me migraines, which is sort of what I expected. I'll take a little temp dip over a migraine anyday.
Interesting about the calcium and magnesium!!! Does it help with cd 1 cramps as well? Or more pms cramps and emotions? Got out of my funk yesterday as I got out of the house and through the day.
Still noticeably more cm this 2ww- maybe the soy? I am very curious- I have not taken any large amounts, so it's strange to think that a regular dietary amount of soy could make changes. At any rate, I guess we'll just see how it goes!
Kelly- so happy that AF came! Glad the skating has been fun for you :-)
Natalie- hope you get textbook bfp temps from tomorrow on :-)
Rach- sorry about the cp :/
Dorcas- yes- smart logic!! :-)
Is 4 dpo too early for symptom spotting
Melissa - it's never too early for symptom spotting! fingers crossed this is your month!!
"You have a healthy small uterus" per my RE.....
Back in the waiting game ....til the 20th....and then for my next AF......
I will start the IVF stuff...........
They start at O date...so not too early. Gosh I can look at those charts all day!
So I took the last pill of clomid tonight... When should I start opk's?
This morning's test http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/...ncy-test149535
My camera didn't pick up a line at all...not even on the invert . Irl there's a faint shadow but it was reeeally close to the 10min mark before I could see anything.
Leaving for my beta right now...hoping to come home in a few hours with some awesome news !!!
Oh...and my flow increased yesterday afternoon so if my levels aren't neg today I'll bet they will be next week after a full af .
Such great news Kelly! I *almost* saw something but I think it was just my imagination! C'mon negative beta (are we allowed to say that here LOL)
Flat temps can be annoying, it's not necessarily your thermo, just maybe you steady hormone levels right now. I'm sure tomorrow will be different!

Bendable E-Reader Going Into Production
E-readers are a great tool, but the one big disadvantage is that they're made of breakable glass and sensitive electronics that can get damaged when dropped. Books, by contrast, are pretty durable.
LG Display has brought flexible, light and tough e-readers a little closer to reality. The company announced that it is mass-producing a flexible electronic paper display, or EPD.

RAPID CITY, S.D. --- The South Dakota School of Mines
men's basketball program signed its first recruit of the 2014-15 hoops season.
Hardrocker men's head coach Jason Henry announced Thursday that Brian Orr, a
senior at Dakota High School in Macomb, Mich., as the newest student-athlete to
join the 'Rocker basketball family.
"Brian has great potential to be a Div. II talent and we
are fortunate to be welcoming him to the SD School of Mines," Henry said.
Orr is a 6-foot-5-inch guard who averaged 17 points and
nine rebounds per game and as a senior led the state of Michigan in three-point
percentage (.580) and now holds the all-time Dakota High School record for
three-point percentage and free throw percentage. Orr is also ranked third
all-time in school history for defensive rebounds and fourth all-time in total
"At 6-5, 200 pounds, Brian has a college-ready body with
a great base to work with as well," Henry said. "With his quick release and
athleticism we expect big things from him --- not only down the road, but
immediately in our program."
Orr's high school basketball head coach, Paul Tocco, felt
Orr would be a great fit for SD Mines and moving to the next level is something
his star player is ready for.
"Brian's goal has always been to play college basketball,"
Tocco said. "He has focused himself on becoming a better player through
offseason workouts, weight room and after practice. Brian has earned this
athletic and academic achievement through hard work. I have no doubt he will be
successful at the college level."
As a senior Orr earned All-Conference First Team honors
and All-County First Team honors. He was also named to the 'Tier 1' All-State
Honorable Mention list and awarded MVP by his team and received All-Academic
honors as well as named All-Offensive team honoree twice. In addition, Orr was
a three-year starter, a team captain and aided his team to a district championship.
"Brian played 'Tier 1' big school basketball in Michigan,
so he has been playing against top notch talented kids as a three-year-starter
on a very well coached team," Henry said. "We look for Brian to not only play
as a true freshman but also be a key guy for our success."
While attending SD Mines, Orr plans to major in
Industrial Engineering.

Very cute =) I like this better than games like Insaniquarium because this is much more calming. There's no time limit, which I like. Great job =)
Rated 5 / 5 stars August 30, 2013
Nice calm relaxing game. The music is calming as well. I got all fish breeds and upgrades. Wish there was more to do though. Like maybe make it into a job simulation game.
Rated 4 / 5 stars March 20, 2013
I like it but there's quite a few things missing.
Great game though.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 25, 2013
GREAT needs something more epic though
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars December 24, 2012
Fun game, only thing I would like to see is the option to speed up time, especially early on when I am just waiting for my fish to grow older so I can sell them... Otherwise cool idea, I like how relaxing and open ended the game is.

A Little Slice of Beach Paradise with the Most Amazing Host
If you're looking for an idyllic beach house, with a gorgeous deck and the scent of honeysuckle in the morning, if you want to feel as relaxed and comfortable as if you were in your own home, 'Seafanz' is the place to experience it on Little Gasparilla Island. From the moment we stepped off the boat, our host, Diana, was there to help - talk about accomodating - she goes way above and beyond - not only did she bring our rented golf cart down to the dock, which is actually only 4 houses away from the one we rented, but then came back with her's to take the rest of our stuff in one trip, and even carried it up the stairs with us! There is nothing you could want for - even our black lab was in heaven - it's all there - beach chairs, umbrella, DVDs for the nightime, well stocked kitchen, and if you've forgotten anything, Diana makes you feel so comfortable you can just give her a ring, like we did when we forgot soy sauce for our steaks - she walked it right over to us! The beach, just a minute away, is beautiful, and when Diana found I was a shell collector and really interested in Shark's teeth, she brought me a bag full of them which she just collected on the beach. The photos and and house description listed don't even come close to how beautiful, inviting and sparkling clean everything is - it's just paradise waiting. Definitely going back for another visit - and wouldn't go anywhere else but 'Seafanz'.
We are in love!
Randy was so kind and inviting. Alice and Rob, who take care of the place, were amazingly helpful and kind to our kids. They even brought them a coconut to each and some shark's teeth to take home. The house was very well kept and clean. We were able to BBQ each night and sit out on the now screened in deck to read at night. They also have installed an ethernet cable for internet access. It was a great stay, we are already looking at booking our next vacation!
Great time at the island!
We place was amazing. We loved the fact that it was located away from all the spring break madness. The villa was as described and the pictures are accurate. The canoe was used many times and we spent a great deal of time fishing off the dock. The nature around us was unforgettable, we even had dolphins playing by the dock. The 3 min walk to the beach was never an issue. The island mates were great at taking care of any issues that arose. The owners did a great job at giving us information to help plan our trip. If your planning on staying the villa, all I can say is to make sure you plan your meals and take a little more than you think because taking the water taxi a few times can get expensive. The grill could use some TLC but it did the job as we used it almost everyday. Don't forget to stop by the fish market near the marina for some excellent fish. We look forward to staying there again next year. Thanks Teresa

Two Alabama state senators are asking for funding to replace school textbooks with electronic devices.
Republican Senators Gerald Dial and Jim McClendon argue that textbooks are out-of-date and the state could save more than $15 million in book replacement costs by using laptops and tablets.
The program would call for about $100 million in bonds to buy the devices.
This topic is scheduled to come up during the 2014 legislative session.

Sunset Cliffs beach is actually located off of the street Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, south of Ocean Beach. The beach which stretches along the Pacific Ocean and is adjacent to Point Loma is known for its beautiful sunset Vista points and picturesque photo opportunities. The coastal bluffs are breath taking and at low tide you can see the small caves carved into the bluff and the lively tide pools. The beach is located below high and unstable sand stone cliffs (there are Caution signs posted all along the bluff).
The beach access is steep and there are not many places to lie out. This is mainly a Surf Beach. Sunset Cliffs is not the beach to come to with large groups or families.There are no park benches or picnic tables. Built-in stairs lead down the cliff to the beach at Ladera Street, and all other access include trails that are not very structured or advisable.
There is a Nice dirt path that extends the length of the beach and is fantastic for running or going for a nice stroll along the coast. There is also enough shoulder for cyclists and the area surrounding Ocean Beach and Point Loma has plenty of bike paths, for those who wish to cruise the extra mile.
California surfing is the main activity, if you are willing to make the trek down the cliff. It appears that most people opt for surfing at Ocean Beach. But if you are one of those surfers who don't like the crowds, this is a Good beach for you. The unstable cliffs and rocky bottom can make this location extremely difficult to get to and to surf. This is not the best place for beginners. It's best to head north to OB if you are a novice.
There is parking all along the Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and there are several dirt vista points with about 10 spaces each. The parking is free and unlimited all Day.

The Moral of Morale
In other words, the pundits inherently assume that their morale-lifting tactics and strategies apply to any organization, no matter the product or service in which they are engaged. They are correct in this regard. But, there is a catch. One cannot assume a constant success rate because there is more at play.
Allow me to put this notion to the test. If you were looking for a new job, which of the following fictitious companies might you be most interested in pursuing? Which of them holds the least interest?

Life is Not Fair3 Reviews
Day's two and three, and the boys of panic! are still around.
"Oh that is SO not fair! I'm breaking up with Ben just for making me miss that!" Hannah was saying excitedly, as Belle and Gerard relived last night's patrons to a regretful Hannah, and an interested Samantha, who hadn't seen much of the guys after she had seated them, "You got to wait on fucking Panic! at the Disco! And I just handed their table off to you!" Hannah said pacing back and forth as she placed napkins on tables.
"Yeah, they were really normal, it was kind of cute." Belle laughed, thoughtfully placing silverware at each place, preparing the restaurant for opening.
"Kind of cute? Kind of cute??? " Hannah ranted, "They are fucking gorgeous! You must have been so star struck!"
Belle rolled her eyes at her friend. So star struck so fan girly, and all over four men who they would never see again. In all honesty Belle only knew them for their music, and a few passing glances at magazine covers that featured them.
"Only after Gerard made me realize who they were," Belle blushed at the memory of tripping and spilling icy cold water down Spencer's front in her nervousness.
"You should have seen her, poor thing. I mean she's naturally shy, but after she found out she was just....it was kind of cute actually, if only she hadn't spilt so many things on them..." Gerard grinned from the kitchen doorway.
"Shut up, Gerd! Besides it's not like I'll ever-"
"See them again?" Cut in Hannah, mirth shining through in her voice, "I'd reconsider that statement."
Indeed, the restaurant had just opened, and who should come walking in, to Belle's good (?) fortune, but Panic!
Samantha, more commonly known as Sammy, cast Belle a wink as she headed over to seat the boys. Belle groaned inwardly. She knew that look on Sammy's face. Sammy was trying to 'make their paths conveniently cross' as Sammy, Miss Matchmaker herself, dubbed her own actions. Belle didn't groan because she didn't like the boys rather, plainly put, she sucked when it came to guys, and she honestly wasn't interested in dating at the moment. Especially someone famous. Or someone high on red-bull. Or someone with a flip-flop fettish. Or someone with emotional baggage from their childhood experiences of a drunken father. Or someone who relied upon drums for all satisfactions in life.
Perhaps Belle's pessimistic view of the boys, in the field of romance, was because of her own...quite frankly fucked-up relationships.
One stalker.
Two who where abusive.
One who lived with his parents (she found this out on the first date- there had been no second date).
One who raised pigeons....he was just weird.
Three who tried to bed her by the second date.
Multiple who had cheated on her.
And finally, her personally worst...
One who wanted her to dress up as Little Red Riding Hood.
Which reminded her: she needed to get his, and the stalker's restraining orders renewed soon....
She had to stop letting Hannah set her up on blind dates.
True to Belle's prediction Sammy sat the boys at table number six, a prime table in Belle's section of tables.
"Best serve them dear." Hannah grinned, giving Spencer the once-over from across the room.
"You are such a whore sometimes," Belle laughed, observing the object of Hannah's attentions, "Ben, remember Ben!"
"Oh...yeah." Hannah said, sounding a bit disappointed. Honestly she wasn't a cheater, or a slut, or a boy user! Well maybe Hannah was a boy user, but she was good hearted. She was going through all of her options before settling down, as she told Belle on occasion.
Belle rolled her eyes at the world in general as she wound her way past tables towards Panic!
"It's nice to see you back, I'll go get you some bread right away. Meanwhile can I get you some drinks, and maybe tell you about today's specials?" Belle felt like changing up her boring welcome speech.
"Hey aren't you that clumsy chick?" The one with the red-rimmed glasses, who was now recognized as Brendon Urie, asked innocently, causing a deep blush to spread over Belle's face, and Spencer to scoot his chair a little away from Belle, as if to avoid further water spillage over his front.
Jon whacked Brendon's shoulder.
"Yes, you could call me that." She said, becoming faintly annoyed, her voice faltering as her face reddened.
Have some composure Anabelle! Where is your posture? She berated herself for her shyness.
"Oh! No, no!" Ryan's voice cut into her thoughts, startling her, "I really don't think you ought to have dessert Brendon. You've already had three Red Bulls, two diet Pepsi's, four candy bars, and that left over slice of cheesecake today. I don't think you need the added sugar rush. I'm surprised you're actually hungry with all that food and junk in your stomach."
"This," Brendon stated, a pouting look from the denial of his favorite meal of the day taking over his manner entirely, "Coming from the one who has five large pancakes, seven sausage links, four strips of bacon, three eggs scrambled, coffee, orange juice, and fresh fruit for breakfast, two hours later several snack bars, for lunch a huge sandwich, French fries, a salad, and chicken strips, and then popcorn and chips for a snack later. Every. Day."
Belle blinked, both at the astonishing ability demonstrated by both Brendon and Ryan to recall food consumed by others, and at the sheer amount of food Ryan ate in a day.
Holy cow. How is he so skinny? He's skinnier than me and he eats like a horse! I'd look like a pig if I ate that much! Belle coughed to remind them of her presence.
"So...can I get you anything, or just stand here for your entertainment?" She asked wryly.
"That depends...." Brendon started with a strange, slightly perverted look that rather unnerved her.
"Brendon don't even finish that." Ryan snapped warningly as Jon snickered and Spencer, off in his own little world, examined a menu carefully, a look of concentration creasing his rounded forehead and his lips pursed slightly, covering the white teeth that were normally flashing in a grin.
"What?" the singer asked innocently.
"I'll be back in a minute then!" Belle announced, thoroughly creeped-out.
"Oh wait Annie! Can we get water and some of that cool bread with the dipping sauce?" Brendon called after her.
"Sorry, what did you call me?" She asked, turning on the spot, and grimacing a bit at the nick name.
"Annie? It is your name, right? Anabelle...Annie...Anna...Annabannana...." Brendon said.
Belle shook her head lightly, a small frown upon her lips as she replied coolly, "I'd prefer Annabelle, or Belle. Bread and such will be right out."
"Annoying." She hissed to Gerard and Hannah, who were engaged in deep conversation back in the kitchens as they waited for patrons to arrive.
"What's the matter, hun?" Hannah asked sympathetically.
"Oh, they're just annoying! I mean they seem normal, but they've got this arrogant air about them! Arg! I hate that."
"How are they annoying though?" Hannah pressed her friend gently for details.
"Oh...I don't know. They just are."
"What you need..." Gerard started,
"Is a break." Hannah finished for him, grinning at Belle, "We've been talking about it,"
"And we think you've become too stressed with school, and work, and life." Gerard finished for Hannah,
"And since Hannah's just ended things with Ben." Gerard continued,
"That was fast." Belle interjected at that point,
"We think," Hannah continued in a slightly louder voice, ignoring Belle's comment, "that a day of relaxing...partying-"
"So you can meet some hot guy to replace Ben," Belle interrupted again,
"Is in order." Gerard finished finally.
"So...." Belle said blankly, not sure what her friends where getting back, but sure that it could mean nothing good for herself.
"Next week when school break starts and we can use that as an excuse to take a few days off work we are going to take you out!" Hannah grinned.
And so it was planned, with barely a thought given to Belle's thoughts on the matter. She convinced herself however that a night or two out was just what she needed, and she could use the other nights on her school break to study. She basically was allowing Gerard and Hannah to kidnapped her. She could only pray that she'd come back in one piece.
The week before break, Belle found herself at school during the mornings, and working in the afternoons to late nights, and then studying further into the night.
It was the third evening after her first encounter with Panic, and so far that evening she had not seen heads or tails of them. She didn't know what bothered her so much about them. Maybe it was the fact that they had the excitement that she longed for, and still seemed too normal. They acted so commonplace, as if they didn't realize how awesome their lives were.
Belle was just placing an order for table six, and feeling rather grateful that the boys hadn't shown up for a third night in a row, when Sammy walked over and told her that table twelve had just been seated.
Belle's attitude sank a little, as she had been hoping to steal a few minutes of studying in the back room, but headed over to the table anyways.
They were back.
"Hey, I'm still Belle, our drink menu hasn't changed, and you've got your menus." She said wryly, "What can I get you to start?"
"Sup!" Brendon grinned happily, causing Belle to grin despite herself, "Um...redbull?" He asked hopefully, to which he received a shake of the head in response, "alright, Mountain Dew then."
"Rootbeer." Ordered by Spencer.
"Water," For Ryan.
"Pepsi Please." Jon murmured, not looking up from the child's menu that he was attacking with a blue crayon.
"Mountain Dew, Rootbeer, Pepsi, and four waters," she ran off her list, then added, "You guys are really becoming regulars here."
"Yeah well," Ryan said, "Not for much longer. We're leaving to hit the road again soon."
"Oh?" she commented, with more than a little jealousy. They got to travel places and explore!
"Back to smelling his old clothes from the next bunk over," Ryan said sadly, nodding towards Brendon.
And the last she heard as she headed back to fill their drink orders was:
"I don't smell that bad! At least I don't wear the same ugly scarf every day of the week!"
It is an ugly scarf
"Yeah well at least my Dior bag doesn't smell like I packed an entire sweating gym in it!"
Oh ew
"Well at least I don't have a gray jacket with white piping that's been passed around so many times it has STD's!"
What the fuck? To much information! Too much!
Belle was seriously considering having Hannah take over that table, but she knew that she enjoyed what small thrill she of being involved -distantly- with rock stars, and t hat she wanted to savor what time she had dealing with them, after all they were leaving soon.
Life isn't fair
A/N a work in progress. something to relieve writter's block. something fun.

Filter annotate() COUNT()Posted: March 31st, 2010 | Author: Davo | Filed under: Django | Tags: filterannotate | 3 Comments »
If you use annotate() function in your Django query and want to apply filters for it, you won't be able to do it.
This is the where extra() function can be used.
For example, here is my hotel app:
from django.db import models class Hotel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) city = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Review(models.Model): is_active = models.BooleanField(default = False) content = models.CharField(max_length=500) hotel = models.ForeignKey(Hotel)
If I make search for hotels, that are situated in Paris and in my result view I want to display number of reviews for each object. I do this way:
from django.db.models import Count hotels = Hotel.objects.filter(city = "Paris").annotate(review_count = Count(review))
But if I want to count only those reviews, that are active, I can not add one more filter() function, because conditions in all filter() function are combined together in WHERE statement of resulting SQL query, but I do not want to filter Hotel objects by hotel_review.is_active = True condition.
To tackle this we can do the following:
hotels = Hotel.objects.filter(city = "Paris").extra( select={ 'review_count': 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM hotel_review WHERE hotel_review.is_active = 1 AND hotel_review.hotel_id = hotel_hotel.id', }, )
How to use review_count parameter in template and JSON objects see article about Extra Select Field in JSON

Why does the American government meddle in everything?
Arrogance and ambition prevents healthy thinking... people have died because of the American government's ambition... however humanity is still silent.
Is there a solution for this?

Luke HobbsNov 27 2012: Probably because America, like many Western cultures, do not have governments but tribes running them. The basic child mentality, in my opinion, is basic: a child says "Me" and an adult says "Us". I think it makes sense gentically, since adults were meant to be the overseers of a village, and his/her ability to live was held in high esteem by younger folk trying to survive. The young warriors have always been driven by reward from overseers, be it through trophies, social status etc. but unless they are taught the difference between childhood and adult responsibilities, the child mentality just stays within the person. You then end up with Governments who are made up of children in adults bodies, still seeking the feeling of reward from power, trophies and status, rather than from the reward of building a better society.
Nov 27 2012: "Probably because America, like many Western cultures, do not have governments but tribes running them. The basic child mentality, in my opinion, is basic: a child says "Me" and an adult says "Us"."
No, it's not that simple: some form of imperialism is often necessary to maintain the high standard of living the population of the major power is used to, since that standard often relies on foreign natural resources and when it's not necessary the population still chooses to democratically reject alternatives that seem complicated or are slightly more expensive than war. For example all the recent mucking around in the Middle East by the West is about securing oil for the homelands because a majority of the populations of the most powerful Western countries (primarily the US) has rejected the alternative of going all in on renewable energy and cutting energy consumption. It's not just leaders behaving like children: politicians who advocate alternatives often don't get elected by the people, so the people share some of the blame.
Nov 28 2012: "With that, you have justified Hitler."
I made no value judgment: I did not say the population of a major power has a natural right to a higher standard of living than people in other countries. I'm merely observing that these populations don't want to lose their privileges and therefore support imperialist actions by their governments. In fact not having colonies in the third world (unlike all the other powers of the time) was actually one of the excuses Nazi Germany had for occupying Europe: they knew they needed more natural resources to compete with the other powers.
"Or, we could just trade. It always works better."
Why pay full price to a salesman and compete over him with another power when you can easily depose him and replace him by one of your stooges who'll only sell to you and a very cheap price? Why allow the salesman to develop to the point where he figures out he's better off keeping more of the goods to himself when you can keep him in the bronze age, oblivious to the possibilities he would have if he used the resources under his feet for himself instead of selling it?
Nov 27 2012: Hi John, thanks for the response. My aim wasn't to blame any certain group or walk of life, but the child mentality vs the adult mentality of the human race. I am an advocate in believing that all things start from a simple base note, like growing an oak tree from a simple seed so to speak, and if we can change that core element in our society as a whole, then we can establish a much wiser society.
