Artist: Kanye West
Album: Yeezus
[Intro: Nina Simone]
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Blood on the leaves
[Verse 1]
I just wanna clear my mind now
It's been racin' since the summertime
And I'm holdin' down the summer now
And all I want is what I can't buy now
Cause I ain't got the money on me right now
And I told you to wait
Yeah I told you to wait
So I'mma need a little more time now
Cause I ain't got the money on me right now
And I thought you could wait
Yeah and I thought you could wait
These bitches surroundin' me
All want somethin' out me
Then they talk about me
Would be lost without me
We could've been somebody
Thought you'd be different 'bout it
Now I know you naughty
So let's get on with it
[Hook 1]
You could've been somebody
'Stead you had to tell somebody
Let's take it back to the first party
When you tried your first molly
It came out of your body
It came out of your body
Running naked down the lobby
And you was screamin' that you love me
Before the limelight tore yah
Before the love life stole yah
Remember we were so young
When I would hold yah
Before the glory
I know there ain't wrong with me
Something strange is happening
[Hook 2]
You could've been somethin'
We could've ugh, we could've been somebody
Or was it all our first party
When we tried our first molly
It came out of our body
It came out of our body
[Verse 2]
Before they call lawyers
Before you tried to destroy us
How you gon' lie to the lawyers?
It's like I don't even know yah
I gotta bring it back to the 'Nolia
Fuck them other niggas cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas cause I'm down for my niggas
I'll ride for my niggas, I'll die for my niggas
[Verse 3]
To all my second string bitches, trying to get a baby
Trying to get a baby, now you call me crazy
I don't give a damn if you used to talk to Jay-Z
He ain't with you, he with Beyonce, you need to stop actin' lazy
She Instagram herself like "Bad bitch alert"
He Instagram his watch like "Mad rich alert"
He only wanna see that ass in reverse
Two thousand dollar bag with no cash in your purse
Now you sittin' courtside, wifey on the other side
Gotta keep 'em separated, I call that apartheid
Then she said she pregnant ain't it
That's the night your heart died
Then you gotta go and tell your girl and report that
Main reason cause your pastor said you can't abort that
Now your driver say that new Benz you can't afford that
Or that cocaine on the table you can't snort that
That going to that owing money that the court got
On and on that alimony
Yeah, yeah she got you homey
'Til death but do your part
Unholy matrimony

It depends on the Enemy groups makeup - Roms seem to get a lot of Engineers and Medics, and if you don't take them out first, they start healing, dropping shield and medical generators, etc.

The company's technology platform -- called NanoLantern -- is a novel method of identifying genetic sequences from biological samples, a process that can be used to detect any organism or genetic feature by identifying its unique DNA fingerprint. The NanoLantern consists of an array of DNA probes that can be programmed from a database of known genetic signatures to simultaneously screen for multiple individual targets using a single sample of blood, urine, cells, or other substance with organic content. The U.S. patent is being awarded for the process the technology uses to identify DNA sequences. The method, first developed by

Coach Graham One Victory Away From Career Milestone
Strong work-horse... Displayed a good feel for pitching in a myriad of situations... Has a chance to be effective as a starter or working out of the bullpen.
Wayne Graham said -- "Matt is a proven Division I starter. We're hoping he'll be 100-percent physically in the spring, and if he is he could have a big impact."
2007: All-NCAA Houston Regional... C-USA All-Tournament... Only Owl pitcher to earn selection to both the NCAA Regional and C-USA all-tournament teams... Team and Conference USA leader in ERA (2.35) and opponents' batting average (.206)... Tied for second on the staff in appearances (23) and was fourth in starts (11)... Allowed an average of 6.7 hits and 3.4 walks with 6.1 strikeouts per 9.0 innings... Posted a sensational start to win in the deciding game of the Super Regional against sixth-ranked Texas A&M... Scattered four hits and three walks in 6.1 innings, allowing just one run while striking out seven Aggies... The A&M run snapped a streak of 25.1 consecutive scoreless innings that lasted from May 9 to June 9... Won seventh game of the season starting in the regional-opener against Prairie View the week before... Went 2-1 in three starts in the NCAA Tournament, maintaining a 3.93 ERA while holding opponents to a .217 batting average and striking out 15 in 18.1 innings... Pitched a total of 24.1 innings against ranked teams and held the elite opposing hitters to a .198 average... Was brilliant in a career-long 7.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen against an NCAA Regional-bound Memphis team at the C-USA Tournament... Allowed just three hits and a walk while striking out a career-high nine to keep the heavy-hitting Tigers in check as the Owls staged a 7-5 come-from-behind victory to advance in the winners' bracket... Notched wins over Nebraska, UAB, Texas State, Cal Poly and Marshall... Only loss was to a St. John's team that went on to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament... Played in the Cape Cod League (Wareham) in the summer of 2007.
2005 baseball letterman for the Bearkats under head coach Chris Rupp... Selected to the UT-Pan-American all-tournament team... Compiled a 1-3 record and 6.40 ERA in first season at the Division I level... Made 14 appearances on the mound, including 10 starts to tie for second on the staff... Finished sixth on the team in innings pitched (52.0)... Struck out 30 hitters... Did not appear in any games in the 2006 season.
2004 graduate of A&M Consolidated High School in College Station... Letterman for the Tigers under coaches Scotty Pugh and Rex Sanders... Teammate of current Owl Bobby Bramhall.

Bosnia schedules its next general election
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) - Bosnia has announced that it will hold its next general election on Oct. 3, with candidates having a month to campaign.
Bosnia is divided into a Serb republic and a federation shared by Bosniaks and Croats, and that complexity is evident in the offices up for grabs.
They include the three members of the Bosnian presidency, and lawmakers for the Bosnian Parliament, the Bosniak-Croat federation Parliament, and the Bosnian Serb Parliament.
The nation is seeking EU membership, which would require it to partially unify and change its constitution to remove restrictions against minorities.
Bosniaks and Croats want that, but Serbs don't.
Political analyst Tanja Topic says campaigning already is under way for an election that will be "harsh and dirty."

We're back to a simpler format, just listing new cars and how many days it takes them to sell, from the day they reach the lot to the day they drive home with a happy new owner. Remember, folks, this is just a snapshot of the industry, not the be-all, end-all of which cars are best-sellers. Although we do that, too.
Anyway, a reminder on our process: The top 10 movers have to hit a certain number of sales to make the list, while the losers do not. The losers also don't include 2008 models that are already competing with their 2009 versions.
August's winners are interesting, with the new Dodge Challenger muscle car doing well now that it has a full lineup of cars available, not just the high-performance SRT8 trim. Otherwise, folks are looking for efficiency … still. And Audi's sexy A5.
Again, the losers list looks like an SUV and high-performance-car parking lot, with the Audi TT convertible thrown in. Not sure why people aren't buying the new TT; the 2009s are just reaching dealers. Perhaps it's a good time to get a 2008.

Last week we released Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, and with it comes an out of the box integration with Project Server 2007.
Both products address a common scenario: Line Of Business Integration (LOBI) between an ERP system and Project Server; in this case no need for custom code (check out the LOBI session code sample Brian Smith and I did at TechEd Developer last week in Orlando)!
Are there any plans to provide native integration with other products in the dynamics suite ?
which one were you thinking of specifically?
CRM is an obvious candidate, but also products like Dynamics SL which has it's own project module.
CRM gets the most requests followed by SL.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Casey was having a good time - after what seemed like just another car ride, she was taken for a walk on a leash, and then the beagle was brought inside a veterinary hospital. She'd visited here before, just for fun and to meet the staff, and she remembered that she could count on a few treats.
According to the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA), there are many steps owners can take to make a first veterinary visit a positive experience. Since your pet will be in for regular wellness exams with your veterinarian, it's important to make those visits pleasant.
Start by regularly handling pets when they are young ¿ including looking into their ears, rubbing their toes and brushing their hair and teeth. Making these activities habitual helps animals become comfortable with ear and teeth exams and other routine procedures such as nail clippings.
Before you take your pet to a first veterinary visit, get him or her used to traveling in a car. Cats should be in carriers and dogs on leashes when arriving at the veterinarian's office. Kittens can get accustomed to a cat carrier by introducing that at home with a comfy towel or blanket, along with toys. Dogs should become used to being on a leash before that first veterinary visit.
"Animals will pick up on the owner's emotions," noted William Grant, II, DVM, president of the CVMA. "If the owner is relaxed and prepared for the visit, the pet will often follow suit."
The CVMA suggests writing down questions and bringing them to the veterinarian.
Questions you would like answered could include:

I'd like to eventually get a suspension fork for one of my Surly bikes. The models I'm looking at are 15QR specific and I think that would be a good option to have up front. Problem is I'd also like to be able to throw the stock rigid fork on there and tour with the same bike. The stock fork uses a standard QR skewer.
Is there anyway to make this work with just one front wheel or will I need a suspension fork 15QR wheel and a rigid fork wheel?

There were significant differences between those who took the drugs and those who did not. Statin users tended to be white, older and heavier than non-users. They also had lower clinical stages at diagnosis, but higher Gleason scores, a measure of tumor aggressiveness.
"These findings are intriguing, but we do need to approach them with some caution," says Robert Hamilton, M.D., a urologist at the University of Toronto and the lead author of the study. "For example, we don't know the diet, exercise or smoking habits of these men. So it's not entirely clear if the lower risk we detected is related to the statins alone it could be due to other factors we were not able to measure. We do feel, however, that based on these findings and those from other studies, the time is ripe to perform a well-controlled randomized trial to test whether statins do indeed slow prostate cancer progression."

Ergot & Salem Witch trials
View posts
Posted: 20 Sep 2013 12:09AM GMT
Research into the Salem Witch trials should include a study of Ergot. A fungi growth on cereal plants including rye. A lysergic fungi,it can have profound LSD like symptons. Cause delusions,miscarriges,hallucinations and death. It can also cause extreme contortions. So in effect a food poisoning,Ergot,that comes and goes with cycles controlled by unusual rainy seasons,could well be the root cause of the symptons.
I believe the history channel covered a study of Ergot and Witchcraft outbreaks in the Middle Ages.
Hope this helps,it should be a good study.

A few years ago I read that an epidemic in Northern France where people behaved erratic or were violently ill was produced by an ergot fungus., By coincidence my daughter had recently read that there had been many crop failures around Salem, and surrounding towns in the late 1600's.
Rumors of weird behavior In Salem and other North Shore towns in that time period caused by ergot illness could have produced "the fits" which young girls claimed had been caused by witches. Besides destructive accusations against certain people in Salem area, there might have been sheer jealousy or malice or the need for attention by the "witnesses".
My late husband is descended from the sister of John Proctor Jr, who was a fairly successful man with property and a popular tavern. John was the first man hung as a witch, but his pregnant wife (also accused of witchcraft) was finally freed and then found that their property had been seized by the town officials.
A relative of my husband's (also a Proctor descendent) married a descendent of Rebecca Towne, also accused of witchcraft. Another ancestor was one of the judges at the witch trials. Dane. His descendent married into my husband's Knowlton family. Another ancestor, Henry Herrick, later publicly apologized for being one of the jurors at the trials .
I have stayed away from the annual high jinks in Salem where people don costumes and have a high old time in that town for a wild evening, even though my daughter had lived close by in Ipswich. LHD

Corey, Glover, Goodwin, Kenny, Nurse, Parris, Putnam, Sewall, Williams
Ergot poisoning was put out as a theory for the witch hysteria of 1692 by a woman who had no background in botany or medicine. It was quickly debunked by people who did have such backgrounds.
* Changing economic climate. Initially, farmers like the Putnams were the important people in the area. But as schooners set out from Salem Town harbor to bring back enormous wealth and the available land was quickly spoken for, the Putnams felt squeezed and very angry as their influence in the area declined.
* Victims. The persons accused and persecuted as witches were initially vulnerable, older woman and those who had won law suits against the Putnams.
* Samuel Parris' influence. Samuel Parris was extremely unhappy about the meagerness of his situation in Salem and as the pastor, had opportunities to speak against persons he felt offended him. Instead of a bringer of peace and understanding, he had a talent for sowing discord and divisiveness. His daughter, Elizabeth, and niece, Abigail Williams, were among the early "afflicted girls".
* The First Americans. Many Puritans feared the Natives, whom they considered to be agents of the devil. Some of the major 1692 hysteria participants had been survivors of the Indian-Puritan battles in Maine. I believe that Abigail Williams was one of the Maine war survivors.
* Charter vacated. The Royal Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Colony was vacated in 1684 by the Crown. Until a new charter was secured in 1692, as the Province of Massachusetts Bay, the status of the planters and their government stood on shaky ground.
* King William's War. In 1689, King William's War against the French caused people among the populations of Quebec, Nova Scotia, and northern New York to flee into Essex County. Refugees caused a lot of disruption in Salem Village.
* Suppression of segments of the population. Suppression of children and their playful natures and even hints of child and woman abuse have swirled in the Salem Villages since 1692, indicating a community in stress and children who had little opportunity to express themselves appropriately.
* Pre-meditation. The broken knife incident and many other actions by the afflicted girls abundantly indicate pre-meditation.
* Goody Glover's execution. The 1688 incident of Goody Glover's supposed enchantment of the Goodwin children in Boston was fresh in everyone's mind. The afflicted Salem girls would have known the "symptoms" the Goodwins exhibited. They mimicked them. Glover was executed for witchcraft, but really for being a widowed Catholic who spoke little English, and recited the "Lord's Prayer" in Gaelic and Latin, not acceptable to the court officials.
* Superstition blamed. "They ALL thought they were witches." No, the witch hysteria was NOT accepted by everybody in 1692. Petitions were signed to support victims, people spoke out against the kangaroo court (some became likewise accused for it, like Giles Corey), people even spoke out in 1688 against the railroading of Goody Glover. That the accused were witches who deserved to be expunged from the community was NOT a universally held opinion among Salemites.
* Apologies. When Ann Putnam Jr publicly apologized in 1709, she blamed Satan's influence in leading her astray, but never once claimed that she had hallucinations or that she had no memory of the incidents. "And particularly, as I was a chief instrument of accusing Goodwife Nurse and her two sisters, I desire to lie in the dust, and to be humble for it, . . ." Judge Samuel Sewall also apologized for his role in the trials, though he didn't take as long to do so as Putnam. "I have sinned against the Lord."
There are surely other influences that I'm not remembering at the moment. Read a variety of respected books about the events - they will bring out different aspects of the situation and surrounding history, thereby enhancing each other.
My ancestor is Henry Kenney, neighbor and friend to the Putnams. He didn't roll around on the floor howling, but was patently unhelpful. His name appears on Martha Cory's arrest warrant and he spoke out from the visitor's gallery against Rebecca Nurse during her hearing. His words were dutifully written down as though he was a sworn witness. (Ironically, his grandson eventually married her granddaughter, healing a rift.)

Lawsuit contests iPod repair charges
updated 08:35 am EST, Mon February 13, 2006
Apple sued over Nano
Apple is being sued for the replacement fees it is charging customers for replacing broken iPod nano screens. The Mercury News reports that a consumer group has filed a lawsuit, alleging the "iPod nano player is defective because its screen is easily scratched and that the company is breaking its product warranty by charging $25 for replacements. The lawsuit, which is seeking class-action status, was filed b the Los Angeles-based Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights; it claims that the Nano can not endure normal use without getting scratched to the point where it becomes unusable. The suit contends the Cupertino-based iPod maker should warn users accordingly." The group is asking that is also demanding that Apple recall or repair the defective products for free, or refund the purchase price to dissatisfied customers as well as asks that the Apple add scratching or cracking to its warranty coverage, according to the report.
The law firm behind the current lawsuit is the same firm that negotiated the iPod battery settlement last August, which claimed that Apple did not reveal the the life and true capacity of the iPod batteries. The Mercury News reports that terms of that settlement ranged from Apple giving affected customers $25 in cash or credit to full battery replacements at no charge.

That's right, I put an extra A on that. With yesterday's trade of Cliff Lee, the Indians have officially given up on this season AND next season. Lee, the clear ace of this staff, was under contract through next year. Basically the Mark Shapiro and the Dolans are saying, we're not winning this year and we won't be next year, so why pay Lee the 9 million in his contract.
In this morning's Plain Dealer Bud Shaw put it this way, "The Indains just traded Cliff Lee for 4 prospects. With any luck some of those prospects may be good enough to trade for prospects in the future." That's exactly what is going on here. If you remember, Cliff Lee, a pitching prospect at the time, was acquired in the Bartolo Colon trade to the Angels a number of years ago. Now that he's developed into a good pitcher, its time to trade him and get more prospects.
Its a never ending cycle. Basically the Indians have turned into a farm team for the better funded teams in the league. Lets develop some good young players and when its time to sign them, we won't be able to afford them, so we'll trade them to another club. Look at the examples in just recent years Cliff Lee, C.C. Sabathia, Casey Blake, Franklin Gutierez. My guess is that Victor Martinez is the next one to go. If its not by tomrrow, then it will be next season. It feels like the 1980s all over again.
If this keeps up, I think I may have to change my MLB affliation. I mean who really cheers for a "farm" team anyway?

I completely disagree with this. I think Mark Shapiro is one of the craftiest GM's in all of baseball and will do the appropriate moves in the offseason to field a competitive team. I think the CORE is still there and they now have a deeper farm system. I mean seriously, they took a pitcher in CLIFF LEE that almost didn't even make the rotation - mold him into a Cy Young winner and then sell super high to stock up with prospects. I think the indians are making all the right moves and have fallen victim to bad fortunes with injuries in recent years.

Indians are only a AAAA farm team
Welcome to the Indians of the 80's...20 years later. For one thing, the Indians did not recieve 4 of the best pitchers the Phillys had because only two players were pitchers. Baseball America can rate anyone, but I'll trust the scouts. Knapp just came off the DL with arm problems...as a pitcher at A level. Oh, goody. Carrasco, gets to creative, pitches off his change-up, not his 95 mph fastball.Also thought of as no better than a 3 man. Jason Donald, middle infield, better at second. Minor-league carrer BA .286. I see about .230 here. And the catcher, Lou Marson, "catchers with good arm and pop will beat him out. He works the count. Little pop and arm is fringy"
Not to mention there are good catchers in the farm system. Can you say log-jam?
If anyone thinks the Tribe is going to compete next year, stop drinking the Kool-ade NOW!! And I don't see revenue going up with a bunch of stiffs playing ball.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. That city puts everything it has into its sports, but yet the Pirates Front Office seem to not care. I am a twins fan, and I was saddened by the loss of Johan Santan, however that pails in comparison to what the Pirates have to go through, year in and year out. The saddest thing in baseball is when you see a team not even try. It is much like the firesale that the Marlins go through everytime they get good. The Marlins at least have two championships in only 16 years of existance, and an even stranger stat...they have never lost a playoff series... The Pirates have 5 world championships, but haven't hoisted a trophy since 1979, nor have they been competitive since the 80's. So cleveland fan, I would rejoice in what you have, because what the Pirates have right now...is abysmal.

HEY! You and I both cheered for the Elmira Farm team.. what were they called again? OH and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.. or whoever they are..Just come to the conclusion that Cleveland is the home of the Lost and Dissapointment. You should be used to the horrible trading that each Cleveland team does. Why would the Indians be any different?

Indians are only a AAAA farm team
Screw you, try being a Pirates fan.
"The Indains just traded Cliff Lee for 4 prospects. With any luck some of those prospects may be good enough to trade for prospects in the future." Bud Shaw was just being sarcastic when he wrote the above statement. The Pirates actually do that... EVERY YEAR.
Thus far in 2009, we have traded away McClouth, our lone all-star from last year, Adam Laroche, Jack Wilson, Nyjer Morgan, Ian Snell and Freddy Sanchez, our best player and 3 time all-star. I know i'm forgetting somebody(s). Out of all the trades, we received one, count it one, major league player. His name is Lastings Milledge, and he sucks. The rest were prospects.
Last year was Jason Bay and Xavier Nady among others. Aramis Ramirez and others a couple years before. Not so long ago we traded Jason Kendall, Tony Womack, Denny Neagle, Jason Schmidt.. I can go on and on and on but i'm just going to keep getting angrier. Our list of players traded away the last 5 years reads like an all-star team.
Had we kept our team from the beginning of last season together, the Buccos would have been contenders this year. Had we kept our team together from the beginning of this year, we would have been contenders next year. Hell, we were only 3 or 4 games out when the dumb @sses in the front office decided to get the ball rolling on "building for the future".
When is the future ever going to be now? Never, because unlike the other two stellar franchises in the 'Burgh, the Pirates are not run by anybody that gives a damn about winning or the fans of Pitt. They should let me play GM for a couple seasons. I would do a better job of putting out a playoff caliber team and putting butts in the seats then the stupid @ss m*ther F*ckers they got doing the job now.
So in conclusion, stop b*tchin, crybaby. There is only one AAAA baseball team in this country, and they reside in the city of Pittsburgh and play ball in the most beautiful stadium in the league. And maybe, just maybe, a baseball stadium in Pittsburgh will fill up again.. But after yesterday, that won't be any time soon. So until then, screw you.

BTW - Colon was traded to the Montreal Expos, not the California Angels.
Now if they can just get Charlie Sheen back to close games, we should be on the right path.

Indians are only a AAAA farm team
The Cleveland Indians are going to be just fine. Last night's trades were a result of many things: injuries, poor attendance, the economy, and one of the best managerial philosophies in all of baseball.
According to Baseball America, the Indians received four of the top 10 pitchers in the Phillies' farm system (2,3,4 and 10). Instead of competing for this year, the team is already making plans for the future.
What good would Cliff Lee do for the Indians this year?
Even if he won every start for the rest of the season, there is no way this team is going to the playoffs. Instead of squandering premier talent on a losing team, Mark Shapiro decided to "sell high" and try to improve the team for seasons to come.
More than anything else, you are an Indians fan because they are the Cleveland Indians.
Real fans stick it out - win or lose.
Have faith buddy, the best is yet to come!

Well they aren't exactly short. They are measuring exactly right but every single other thing is measuring almost exactly 2 weeks ahead. I had an ultrasound at 10 weeks and he was measuring right on for what we thought the due date was (very irregular periods but I knew when conception was). Does this sound like anything anyone else here has experienced? The femur measurements are still 2 weeks behind everything else, just not for his EDD. I've been freaking out running every possible thing through my mind since I had another growth scan done this afternoon. His head, abdomen, etc. are all measuring 32 weeks 4 days, while his femurs measured 30 weeks 4 days. I'm 5'9" but DH is only 5'6" if that makes any difference.
Another 'short femur' post. sorry.
12/08 7/10 2/13
At this point there aren't any others. I always opt out of the 1st trimester screenings (no nuchal scan, no lab work other than the GD test in 2nd tri either) and haven't had any other lab work done.
Dh is in the military and I get seen on base. My u/s was done off base though (at 23 weeks) and my midwife didn't have it available to look at until right before my 30 week appointment yesterday (due to it having to go through the records department and the facility that did the u/s not being very good about transferring records where they are supposed to go). That's when she had an OB look at it and ordered another u/s. It was done today but I was the last appointment of the day and no one will be in to look at it and give me any info besides what I got from the u/s tech until early next week.
12/08 7/10 2/13
My son's only marker was shortened femurs. I had the MaterniT21 test come back positive and my son was born with T21 in August. He is now almost 4 months old, is doing great, and is just a delightful baby. I wish I had enjoyed my pregnancy after the diagnosis. We aren't just doing okay now, we're really, really good.
Daughter (July 6, 2006) and Son (August 10th, 2012)
They told us that Wyatt's arms and legs were short, too, but considering we're a family of short people I was like, "Well, that might just be him cursed with our genetics" LOL. The doctor saw no reason to be worried about it though. I think it's OK.
Proud Wife Of A United States Marine! Benjamin born March 29th 2011. Wyatt born June 5th 2012 (prenatal dx of T21). Ivy born December 2nd 2013.
Thanks. I'll ask about that test. I don't know if I can get it done on base but I'll see if they will at least refer me to a place where I can get it. I'll pay out of pocket if I have to.
12/08 7/10 2/13
However if we had just had 18 wk scan we would have had short femur length as our only marker... At 5%
And maybe a slight nuchal fold thickening. At our 30 week scan her femur length was measuring at 50th percentile as were most other measurements except her weight was 70th.
The blood tests sound like a great way to go if u want to know beforehand xxx all the best, Joelle
Aussie Mum to Tallie Rose (11yo) and Max Ashley (8yo) and Josee Hope Jan '13 ( T21)
One of our main markers was also shortened femur length. Every other ultrasound he would measure two weeks behind as well. He did have Down Syndrome and he was the greatest blessing in my world. :) Wishing you a healthy baby.
Julia, Mom of:
Judah -April 2010- (Laryngomalacia, surgically fixed)
Gabriel -Aug 2011-2012 (T21, HLHS, Unbalanced AV Canal)
July baby due 2013
We had shortened femur length my son's legs went from normal to the 2% and remained there while his head was measuring three weeks ahead and stomach three weeks behind as well as legs at the 2%. We had a "positive" blood test for a 1 in 62 chance of downs and a "possible positive" on our nuchal test as he measured 5.88 and the cutoff is 6 and the dr said it was probably technician error and he probably was a 6. My son was born last April with typical Chromosomes, he is however super short!! :)
A private scan at 18 weeks and my 20 week NHS scan both showed my daughter's femur length to be behind the other measurements by up to a week, plotting between the 25th and 50th percentile lines on my baby's growth chart. After googling 'short femurs' I began to worry.
An ultrasound scan at 32 weeks then revealed I had a mild case of polyhydramnios, or excess amniotic fluid surrounding my baby, and that the femur length had now dropped down to the 9th percentile, between 2 and 3 weeks 'behind' the other measurements which were on or above the 50th percentile. After googling polyhydramnios my worry increased (it can indicate chromosome abnormalities) and despite the poly being attributed to a mild case of gestational diabetes I became absolutely convinced my baby had down syndrome, even though there were no other markers.
Ultrasound scans every two weeks (because of the diabetes) were also less than reassuring - the femur remained on the 9th percentile and at one point when I was 36 weeks the femur measured at 33 weeks while head circumference measured 38 weeks! When i mentioned my concerns to my consultant she dismissed my fears saying they didn't even use an isolated short femur as a soft marker but it did little to reassure me and I became obsessed to the point I was in tears most days, not eating, googling in the middle of the night, analysing my ultrasound scan pictures for 'signs' and ultimately putting strain on my relationship, my unborn baby and myself.
Even though I would love and want my baby no matter what, I was worried sick about our/her future and was battling between acceptance some days and, I'm ashamed to say, outright fear of meeting her.
I went into labour at 40 weeks and even told the midwife delivering my baby that she might have down syndrome. I was in tears on the labour ward and I was scared.
My daughter was born after a 9 hour labour and she did not have down syndrome. She was however, only 5lbs 16 so tiny all over! This was not picked up by any of the ultrasounds I had had.
Because of my worries throughout pregnancy I wasn't 'convinced' she was, for want of a better word, 'normal' and had her checked over by a senior peaditrician who thought I was mad (in hindsight I probably was!). When she asked me why I thought my baby might have down syndrome and I mentioned short femurs, she looked genuinely shocked and said they don't even consider that a marker in isolation, and said my daughter's legs didn't look short anyway!
Apart from the smallness my baby was/is perfect and healthy and is doing very well.
Sorry for the essay but I just could have done with something like this when I was pregnant. Please don't worry away your pregnancy like I did as I really think I made myself mentally and physically ill and put my baby at risk because of the worry (which ironically was probably the cause of her tiny size).
Also, when I was actually in labour I seemed to find a sense of peace with the situation, and I knew then that I would love her and do my best for her no matter what, and the fear of ds seemed to disappear. She would be my baby regardless and there is so much support out there!
I hope this helps you. Please, listen to the professionals and not dr google! Relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

Well we all know now that Aqualad is a good guy and people are wondering what the heck has been going on. My thoughts are the following:
After a great tragedy (probably Tula's death), Aqualad goes undercover, Wally and Artemis retire, and Miss Martian out of a guilt trip decides to make vegetables out of villains because she could have saved her and many others from dying if she wasn't holding back. Superboy then discovers this and Miss Martian in a rash moment tries to change his mind by force.
Another possible Miss Martian scenario I see is very similar, her dealing with the deaths of Beast Boy's family took a toll and she believes she could have saved them if she had turned all the villains into vegetables. Miss Martian then going into Superboy's mind to try to change his mind(by force of course) afraid he would tell on her(this being a rash thoughtless moment).
What are your thoughts on this? And by the way I do think Tula is dead and she isn't apart of the plan...I just don't see the evidence to support this. Also I don't think that Tula ever joined the team thus not being the one to fall.
Anyone want to talk about this?

Hey, I'm picking parts for my dream Mojo SL.
Like everyone else, I want wheels that are strong and light. I'm going with a RS Revelation fork, so I need the wheel to accept at 20mm axle. I have I9 XC wheels on another bike (which won't take the 20mm axle) and I like them, but this time I don't really need the bling, and I'd like a slightly wider rim than the DT 4.2d.
Crankbrothers cobalts don't take 20mm, and the Iodines are too heavy. I could go with the I9 All Mountain wheels, but want to see if there's something equivalent for less.
Any suggestions?
