EVERETT — Prosecutors here have charged a King County juvenile corrections officer with felony assault after he reportedly broke his roommate's leg and choked the man in August.
On Friday, a King County official said Tyriff Rudder is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation into the Bothell incident. Rudder, 33, has been on leave since mid-September.
Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Travis Johnson recently filed a second-degree domestic violence assault charge against Rudder, alleging that the corrections officer put his roommate in a hold and threw him to the ground.
The man told investigators that he heard his leg snap. Rudder reportedly refused to let go of the man's arm even after he was told that his leg was broken. The man, now in tears, pleaded with Rudder to release him and call an ambulance, court papers said.
Meanwhile, a neighbor heard someone screaming for help and called 911.
When Snohomish County deputies arrived they also heard a man yelling for help. Deputies knocked on the door but no one answered. Rudder eventually came to the door but refused to exit, court papers said.
Deputies again heard a man asking for help. They removed Rudder from the entryway. Deputies noted that Rudder appeared to be extremely intoxicated. He ordered police to remove his handcuffs. He allegedly told cops that his roommate had fallen down some stairs and he was trying to drag him upstairs.
Police found the roommate lying near a bedroom. He told them that he thought his ankle or foot was broken. He denied that he had been assaulted. He was taken to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery for fractures to his tibia and fibula bones in one leg.
The man contacted police about a week later to report that Rudder had assaulted him. He told officers he initially lied because he was afraid for his life, Johnson wrote.
The man told investigators he'd been sleeping when Rudder came into his bedroom and put him in a "goose neck" hold. He said the violence escalated and Rudder allegedly broke his leg.
He said Rudder was drunk and seemed to be hallucinating that night. He told investigators that Rudder had put him in choke holds in the past and was proficient in these moves because of his training as a corrections officer.

The Next Time Someone Says Twitter Is Killing Deep Thinking With Short Quick Messages, Show Them This
from the history-repeating-itself dept
It seems like we keep hearing people insist that the internet, and things like Twitter and Google, are making us dumber because we're no longer really delving into anything with any depth, but rather just finding and spreading short snippets of text. There's never been any real support for that concept, but leave it to good old xkcd to put it all in perspective with a bunch of historical quotes that show people saying basically the identical things more than a century ago.
TL;DR: People have pretty much always insisted that "back in the day, we spent much more time thinking/digesting/experiencing" and that "the kids these days just rush around." Maybe, just possibly, that's not actually true. Perhaps it's just that, as we all get older, time seems to move much faster, and the complaints are really people who are getting older (and, yes, this includes me) recognizing that we can't always keep up.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
I find it rare to see a project with too many metrics. Quite the opposite is usually the case. The problem is that establishing metrics is a lot more work than identifying what you want to measure. It's hard to collect the data. It's hard to mine the data, and then to present the comparisons and trends which are the metrics is no simple feat.
However, as CM tools move more and more into the realm of ALM and beyond, we'll see some changes. As integration across the lifecycle becomes more seamless, the focus will move to dashboards that not only provide standard metrics, but which are easily customized to mine and present the data necessary.
The goal of software metrics is to have a rich collection of data and an easy way of mining the data to establish the metrics for those measures deemed important to process, team and product improvement. When you measure something and publish the measurement regularly, improvement happens. This is because a focus is brought on the public results.
However the interpretation of the measure must be clear. For example, are glaciers falling into the ocean a sign of global warming (weakening and falling) or global cooling (expanding ice pushing the edges into the ocean)? A wrong interpretation can be very costly. So a good rule is to understand how to interpret a measure before publishing it.
Looking at the software world, is the number of lines of code generated per month a reasonable measure? I want my team to create a given set of functionality using the minimal number of lines of code. So larger numbers are not necessarily a good thing and may be a bad thing. Lines of the amount of code generated is not a good measure for productivity. However, averaged over a project, and compared from project to project (using similar programming technology), it is a fair measure of project size and is also useful for overall "bugs per KLOC" metrics.
The point here is that you must select metrics that can clearly be interpreted. And when you publish these regularly, the team will tend toward improving the metric because they understand the interpretation and how it ties back to what they're doing.

Marcia - from Grand Blanc, MI
The color flow recipe can be found here: http://bakedecoratecelebrate.com/recipes/colorflowicing.cfm
The recipe is:
About 2 cups.
Step 1
With electric mixer, using grease-free utensils, blend all ingredients on low speed for 5 minutes.
Step 2
If using hand mixer, use high speed. Color flow icing "crusts" quickly, so keep bowl covered with a damp cloth while using. Stir in desired icing color.
Step 3
In order to fill an outlined area, the recipe above must be thinned with 1/2 teaspoon of water per 1/4 cup of icing (just a few drops at a time as you near proper consistency). Use grease-free spoon or spatula to stir slowly. Color flow is ready for filling in outlines when a small amount dropped into the mixture takes a count of ten to disappear.
Step 4
Tape pattern and waxed paper overlay to your work surface. Waxed paper must be free of wrinkles.
Step 5
Outline pattern with full-strength Color Flow Icing and tip 2.
Step 6
Let outline dry a few minutes until it crusts. When filling in an area with a different color from outline, let dry 2 hrs.
Step 7
To fill in an outline, soften icing by adding water to 1/4 cup icing, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. As you near proper consistency, add just a few drops of water at a time. Stir slowly by hand in a figure-8 motion to prevent whipping in air bubbles.
Step 8
Test the consistency of the Color Flow Icing by dropping a small amount of icing into the mixture. If it takes a full count of ten to disappear, the icing is the right consistency.
Step 9
Fill a parchment cone no more than half full of icing. (Do not use a tip as it might break outline). Cut a tiny hole at the end of bag. If filling in a large area, have 2 half-full bags ready; otherwise, icing could crust before you finish filling in the pattern.
Step 10
Begin filling in outline along the edges first by gently squeezing and letting the icing flow up to the outline almost by itself. Work quickly, filling in pattern from the outside edges in and from top to bottom.
Step 11
When all outlines are filled in, let dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours. For quick drying, use a heat lamp: position lamp 2 ft. away from decoration for 2 hours. Remove lamp and air dry for 12 hours.
Step 12
Remove the Color Flow from waxed paper by placing it near the edge of the counter. Slide the piece slowly over the counter's edge while carefully peeling half of the waxed paper away. Turn piece around and repeat.
Step 13
Wilton color flow mix contains dried egg whites and sodium laurye sulfate, a whipping agent. When stored at room temperature in a dry place it will last at least one year.

transcript:
Hi -- I’m Patty Kim.
In this edition, we journey to Laos. What I would call a real hidden gem of a destination located in Southeast Asia.
We take you now to Luang Prabang. It’s an ancient royal city that sits on the Mekong River. It’s a place where you’ll find that the spirit of Buddhism is alive and well.
The day begins as it has for hundreds of years.
Here is this 'City of the Golden Buddha' as it is called Buddhist monks gather in temples to pray and meditate.
Now if you can start your day early enough you’ll catch a sight that’s definitely worth losing a bit of sleep for. At dawn, a stream of young monks carrying begging bowls through the streets. They collect bits of food and rice from women waiting on the roadside. Every morning this silent ritual provides the monks a simple breakfast, something they eat with great thanks.
These are the kinds of timeless rituals that you see play out each day in Luang Prubang the ancient royal capital of Laos.
The best time to arrive in this beautiful city is probably during the dry and cool season which is between November and February. Once in Luang Prabang check out the main road that passes by some of the city’s most ornate temples and colorful signs of worship.
Luang Prabang is a small place, and the city can best be explored on foot. You can walk literally every street and alley in town. And just about everywhere you go you will most likely stumble upon great photo opportunity.
The Lao are very conservative when it comes to dress, so if you do plan on visiting a monestary don’t forget to cover up. Keeping a big scarf in your backpack will probably do the trick. Wearing sandals or shoes that can be slip on and off easily is highly recommended since it is customary to take off your shoes before entering a Lao home or temple.
For people looking for something a little off the beaten path, a glimpse of the sacred is what makes Luang Prabang and Laos one of the most rewarding places to begin your search.

Ohio Congressman Pushing For Steel Coins
WASHINGTON, DC (WSPD) -- An Ohio congressman wants to see the U.S. Mint switch to steel for making coins.
"Steel costs about $900 a ton versus some of the other metals that cost up to $5,000 a ton or $12,000 a ton," said Congressman Steve Stivers (R-OH).
Since 2006, due to the rising cost of materials and labor, the manufacturing of some denominations has become unprofitable. Of the coins currently in circulation today, the cost of producing pennies and nickels is greater than the actual face value of the coins.
"About 1.8 cents to make a penny and about 9.5 cents to make a nickel," Stivers said.
Pennies are made from copper and zinc while other coins like nickels, dimes, and quarters are made from copper and nickel.
Pennies would be dipped in copper so the appearance of the coins would not change.
According to the House Financial Services Committee, the United States will save taxpayers up to $433 million over 10 years by simply changing the composition of the coins to steel.
Great Britain and Canada made the switch to steel several years ago.

CHARITON, Iowa — Following a successful pilot season in 2012, the Certified Grazier Program is being expanded to two southern Iowa locations this year. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef program specialist Joe Sellers said the program is ideal for those who have experience with grazing and want more detailed information on tools and techniques.
"Past participants of our Greenhorn Grazing series or other in-depth grazing programs will benefit from this next-level programming," he said. "This series offers classroom and field-bases sessions, including personalized learning opportunities, at Fairfield and Creston this summer and fall."
General information sessions feature a variety of management strategies and ways to apply those strategies to participants' land. Personalized sessions offer in-depth looks at specific topics that can be incorporated into individual grazing plans, while networking with others provides opportunities for discussions with fellow producers on how they've approached grazing and developed plans tailored to available resources and goals.
Sellers said producers can take advantage of others' practical experiences by seeing actual on-farm results of various techniques, and can build and strengthen mentoring relationships between themselves and experienced graziers, as well as university and industry personnel.
Cost is $100 per person for the six-part series, which includes a meal at each session and a reference guide. The registration fee is payable to the Jefferson County Extension office at Fairfield or the Lucas County Extension office at Chariton.
Dates for the six-part series are specific to each location as follows:
Sponsors of the Certified Grazier Program are ISU Extension and Outreach, Iowa Beef Center, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Dow AgroScience, Southern Iowa Forage and Livestock Committee, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
For more information, contact Sellers at 641-203-1270, ISU beef program specialist Byron Leu at 641-799-2298, Certified Grazier Program coordinator Brian Peterson at 641-344-1026, or Rick Sprague of NRCS at 712-542-8765.

Like many researching African-American ancestry, Franklin Smith wasn't far along in his family history search when he discovered that family information and stories of his ancestors' lives during slavery were virtually nonexistent. When he asked his mother about this, she told him the "old folk" never spoke of slavery, and her generation (she was born in 1919) knew better than to ask. Reliving the shame and humiliation they had experienced was something her elders were unwilling to consider. For the most part, tracing your African-American ancestors back to 1870 requires traditional research. But the rules change when you begin looking for family before that date; without family oral tradition, this becomes a major challenge. To make the jump to pre-Civil War research, you'll first need to identify your family's slaveholder and research that family's records. (For an overview of African-American research, see "7 Steps to Finding Slave Ancestors" from the February 2001 Family Tree Magazine.)
Let's look at two strategies to help you assess likely slaveholder candidates for your ancestors, whether they adopted the surname of their last slaveholder or assumed a different name. The first, the same-surname approach, involves looking for white families in your ancestors' county of residence with the same or similar surnames. The second option is to try a location-based approach, which will require you to familiarize yourself with your ancestor's 1870 neighborhood using census records, land records and/or other courthouse records.

Open Book series moves Ian McEwanĺs talk to larger venue
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
The Open Book, the university's popular new community read series, has moved writer Ian McEwan's talk Wednesday, April 11, to the School of Law Auditorium as a result of public interest.
McEwan will discuss and read from his novel "Atonement," from 6 to 7 p.m. The event, which includes a book signing, is free and open to the public. On Monday, April 9, Elise Blackwell, an associate professor of English, will give a talk about the novel at 6 p.m. in USC's Hollings Library. Her talk also is free.
"The interest in the Open Book has been remarkable," said Blackwell, who directs the MFA program in creative writing and hosts the series. "Although registration for the series is full, we want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to hear Ian McEwan by moving his appearance to a larger venue."
Blackwell said McEwan is widely considered to be England's greatest living novelist. He has been a finalist for the Man Booker Prize numerous times, winning the Booker for "Amsterdam." His novel "Atonement" received the WH Smith Literary Award, the National Book Critics' Circle Fiction Award, the Los Angeles Times Prize and the Santiago Prize for the European Novel and was adapted into a feature film. Writer John Updike called the novel "A staggering book – something no American could have published."
McEwan's talk will conclude the inaugural installment of the Open Book series, which has featured talks by Colum McCann, Luis Alberto Urrea, Ann Patchett and Jeffrey Eugenides. More information about the series is available at the Open Book website.

Fishing Ribnik with John
Just a few images from the last three days. Fishing was by far best in the last hour of daylight and slightly beyond. Had a cracking grayling today – it's on John's camera. Best moment may have been a double hook-up with John's brown and my grayling caught on dark. Almost all fish caught on size 22 CDCs. Had a cracking evening tonight including plenty of nice fish.
Hungary later today… Asp await!

By John Boyle Herald Columnist
For baseball fans, February has always been a time for hope.
A time to hope that your team, despite last year's struggles, can be that surprise team that goes from last place to the playoffs in only a year. A time to hope that if those youngsters can take a step forward, or if that veteran addition can rediscover his form from two seasons ago, or that a team will just magically flip a switch in a manner that only seems to happen in baseball, it could actually be a year to remember.
But for Mariners fans in recent years, the only thing as consistent as hope in springtime is the disappointment that happens once the games actually start. There are reasons to believe this team can take a pretty big leap from where it was last year, so feelings of optimism aren't completely crazy, no matter how many times the Mariners have let people down over the past nine seasons.
Of course we ultimately won't know whether the 2013 Mariners can be contenders or not until a good chunk of the season has been played, but with spring training kicking into gear this week — pitchers and catchers report today and Seattle's first full-squad workout is Saturday — the Mariners have plenty to figure out between now and April. So with that in mind, here are five questions the Mariners need to answer (or at least begin answering) while they're in Peoria, Ariz.
1 How's this rotation going to shake out? And are any of the young guns ready?
Felix Hernandez's extension may not be a done deal, but his status as the team's 2013 ace hasn't changed. Beyond that, however, the rotation is murky. Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma will have a spot, quite possibly pitching behind Hernandez.
Then what? A deal hasn't been announced yet, but the Mariners are expected to finalize a contract with veteran lefty Joe Saunders, who will essentially serve as a Jason Vargas replacement — seriously, look up their numbers; they're pretty strikingly similar. Right-hander Erasmo Ramirez has a good shot of being the third or fourth starter, then the No. 5 spot is potentially up for grabs, though right-hander Blake Beavan has to be considered the frontrunner. Right-hander Hector Noesi also has a chance to earn a starting spot, but his struggles last year might make it tough for him to regain manager Eric Wedge's trust.
The other possibility, one that is certainly intriguing to fans, is that one of the touted prospects could come in and pitch so well this spring that the Mariners have no choice but to give him a spot in the rotation. The odds are good that Danny Hultzen, James Paxton, Taijuan Walker and Brandon Maurer (it's not just a Big Three anymore) will all start the year in the minors, but the Mariners will leave the door open for a youngster to steal a job.
"Do I think one of these young kids will make the club? I don't know," general manager Jack Zduriencik said. "I think they'll be given the opportunity in spring training."
2 How many games can Jesus Montero catch, and who catches the rest of them?
In his first full season in the big leagues, Montero was behind the plate for just 56 games last season, and there are plenty of people who believe his long-term future is at DH, not catcher. But Wedge has said repeatedly that he believes Montero can be a solid major league catcher. Even so, Montero isn't suddenly going to catch 150 games this season, and with John Jaso and Miguel Olivo gone, that means a new face behind the plate for a significant number of games. The Mariners recently signed veteran Kelly Shoppach, and he'll almost certainly begin the season as Montero's backup — though veteran Ronny Paulino was also signed to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. But the bigger question is just how long Mike Zunino, last year's first-round pick, will be in the minors.
And this is all assuming that Montero, who was linked by a New York Daily News report to a South Florida anti-aging clinic that is being investigated by Major League Baseball, won't be suspended this season. If that happens, the Mariners will have a lot more to figure out at catcher.
3 How will playing time work out with all of the outfield/first-base/designated-hitter types?
If he's healthy — a huge if, I know — Franklin Gutierrez will be the starting center fielder, and Michael Saunders seems like the likely starter in right field. But when those two are in the lineup, how will Wedge sort things out between the group that plays a combination of left field, first base and DH? If Michael Morse is the slugger the Mariners hope he can be, he'll get plenty of at bats, but if he's in left field, is there any room for Casper Wells or Raul Ibanez or Jason Bay? If Morse isn't capable of being an every-day outfielder, does he take at bats from Justin Smoak at first base? Does he DH, and if so how do the Mariners get Kendrys Morales in the lineup? And what about Mike Carp or Eric Thames, do they still have a role on this team?
Ultimately, Wedge hopes that having too many capable bats is a problem he'll have to deal with. Obviously not everyone mentioned above will be happy with his role — there just aren't enough at bats to go around — and that's why spring will be important for Wedge to figure out who is capable of what when it comes to the logjam the Mariners have of corner-outfielder/first-base/DH types.
4 Just how long is the leash on Smoak?
Smoak, who was the main piece the Mariners got in return for Cliff Lee in the 2010 trade, has failed to live up to the potential that years ago made him one of baseball's top prospects. But every time he struggles to the point that everyone assumes he's a bust, Smoak seems to do just enough to give hope that he may just find his way.
Smoak finished last season strong, and according to Wedge, is in much better shape this year, which is why Wedge said, "I have every anticipation that he's going to be our first baseman this year." But the fact remains that Smoak has played two full seasons in Seattle with pretty unimpressive numbers to show for it. The Mariners really, really want Smoak to be the power bat they thought they were getting in that trade with the Rangers, but they can only give him so many chances before moving on.
5 What exactly do all of these new veterans have left in the tank?
If Morse can go back to being the player he was in 2011, the Mariners will have a legitimate thumper in the middle of the lineup. And if Morales can rediscover the ability he had before breaking his leg in 2010; and if a change of scenery can help rejuvenate Bay; and if Ibanez can be the late-inning hero off the bench that he was so often with the New York Yankees, then the Mariners lineup could be a whole lot better. But that's a lot of ifs, right?
There's very little chance that every veteran the Mariners added can go back to what he was at his best, but for Seattle to take a step forward, they'll need more than just leadership from those veterans; they'll need some production too. Ultimately the growth of young players like Montero, Smoak, second baseman Dustin Ackley and third baseman Kyle Seager, will make the biggest difference if the Mariners are going to be better, but getting some serious production out of their new veterans would go a long way as well.

Fox's Gutfeld Complains Media Outlets Failed To Adopt Fox's Misleading Benghazi Attacks
Blog ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News co-host Greg Gutfeld attributed the media failing to adopt Fox's attacks on President Obama regarding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi to networks not wanting to report stories Fox covered. However much of Fox's reporting was found to be false, overhyped, and criticized even by personalities on their network.
On The December 19 edition of Fox News' The Five, co-host Eric Bolling claimed that a recently released independent review on the consulate attack in Benghazi showed that the media ignored the story which "had a lot more legs than they saw." Gutfeld responded "I think there is something called Fox News dismissal syndrome. If we cover something really, really well, other networks...dismiss it":
In fact Fox News gained wide criticism for their coverage of the Benghazi consulate attack. Since the attack was first reported, Fox falsely reported that President Obama abandoned Americans in Benghazi, claimed the president did not call the attack "acts of terror," and hyped the conspiracy that Obama was involved in a cover up on the attack. The Washington Post reported that Fox's coverage of Benghazi was found to be so misleading that the CIA "took the unusual step of issuing an on-the-record denial of the story's core message" after Fox's Jennifer Griffin reported that the CIA gave "stand down orders rather than help the ambassador's team."
Fox News has also been criticized by their own guests and commentators for their coverage of the attack. In an appearance on Fox, national security journalist Tom Ricks accused the network of hyping the Benghazi story for political purposes. Fox's Juan Williams called their attacks on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice a witch hunt and Geraldo Rivera criticized Bolling for "misleading the American people" on Benghazi. Fox's White House correspondent Ed Henry stated that he "would not be so deluded to say that some of our shows, some of our commentators, have covered it more than it needed to be covered" in an article by Huffington Post.
Gutfeld's comments are an example of the Fox Cycle, the process Fox News uses to promote bogus stories from the right-wing fringe. After heavily covering a story that originated from right-wing bloggers and talk show hosts, Fox and their allies in the conservative media attack other media outlets for not following suit.

Has anyone ever survived this?
Depends on what you mean, but yes. There are people now at 10 years and going. There is our Jeff. If you look on pubmed the results arent great, but the statistics show YES, people do survive.
This is a scary, strong cancer, but there are possibilites for some. For others, unfortnately and hearbreakingly not. The best thing about this forum is that I gain hope and inspiration and determination and the knowledge that there is a life out there from others who use this site.
My friends dad was an oncologist and told me about his high school reunion where he met up with a cc survivor--cancer free and fiesty. So there is hope.
How do you know if you've survived? Scott's been "cured" but there's always going to be this little nagging fear that it's lurking. With transplant, the immunosuppression is an invitation for the cc to explode if there's anything left, but they are saying his old liver was cancer free; that the radiation fried it. Is cured and survived the same thing?
One can only hope, and move on in the day we are given; do our best, and let God do the rest.

'"It's nice this time of year to have a little stretch where you're recognized like that," Miller said after practice Monday in HSBC Arena. "It lines up with the way we've been playing as a team, really paying attention to detail and with good emotion in the game. I guess that's exactly what we need this time of year. A goalie a lot of times can be a difference-maker but is really a reflection of the way the team plays."'

|2011 Player of the Year Matt Adams
We will add some special awards and of course, name our top selections for the entire Cardinals minor league system for 2012 as well as the best rookies. The series will conclude with our choice as the top manager in the organization.

Yet this most knowledgeable group is more than qualified and again up to the challenge. They include Pierce Jefferson, Brandon Mahler, Juan Dorado, Jon Popham, Sloane Martin, Katherine Fernandez and Paul Ivice.
While the winning names will be made available to everyone as this master article is updated daily, the detailed commentary behind most awards in this series will be exclusively for Scout.com/The Cardinal Nation subscribers. All major league articles will be free for all.
They include analysis from our onsite writers as well as comments by Cardinals players, coaches and executives. We explain what tradeoffs were made and what we saw in the best players to take the field at each level of the Cardinals system during the 2012 season.

Road Trip of the Penguins: Epilogue
A thousand pardons — while Sunday at the Southern California Linux Expo was less busy, it was easier to spend more time in more lengthy discussions with visitors who came by the booth at SCaLE. However, while I should have updated this running blog on SCaLE, I didn't. Further, I had the Paso Robles-to-Santa Cruz leg of the driving chores, and I didn't get home until late (which explains why I missed the Fedora Weekly News deadline).
So now that the mea culpas are out of the way, I have to say on the whole the SCaLE weekend — from Fedora Activity Day to finish — was an unqualified success.
From Friday's face-to-face get together where we were actually able to sit in a room with people we talk to on a daily basis on IRC or by e-mail to carrying on two- and three-conversation talks at the Fedora table during Saturday's "rush hour" (which, essentially, was a better part of the day), I would hope that more regional events have as many attendees as SCaLE did.
Several points about the weekend:
I'll blog on this another time, but what is it with people who stop by the booth — any booth, and not just ours — just to waste time in meaningless "let-me-tell-you-why-your-distro-sucks" one-sided conversations? I'm serious — where do these people come from, and don't they have anything better to do? As far as I'm concerned, these are mostly one-sided conversations — I just smile and nod while I wait for a valid point to arrive in the conversation (which, in more cases than not, never has the courtesy to show up).
(Fedora ambassador Larry Cafiero runs HeliOS Solutions West/Felton Linuxworks in Felton, California, and is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)
March 27, 2009 at 9:35 am
As I commented in the post after this, the Fedora booth was great.
Larry, do you know of any sites/tutorials on how to add multimedia capability to Fedora — things like Flash, the ability to play MP3, WMV and OGG, plus Quicktime video?
I'll also be checking for Cinelerra, the Open Movie Editor, LiVES and KDEnlive. If I can get some or all of those in Fedora, that would really make me think about using it.

FRESNO - Myles Smith is going into the record books as a CIF Division III state cross country champion but not as an individual champion as the St. John Bosco senior had planned.
Smith, the state's top returnee from the 2011 state meet, finished second in the state Division III final in a dead heat with Campolindo junior Aidan Goltra in 15:18 over the 5,000-meter course at Woodward Park on Saturday.
The performance by Smith, though, was more than enough to propel St. John Bosco to a 70-119 upset of defending state champion Palos Verdes, for the Braves' second title in three years.
Last weekend, St. John Bosco finished third to Palos Verdes in the Southern Section finals, 56-145, in a race in which Palos Verdes placed its five scoring runners ahead of St. John Bosco's second man.
It was a complete reversal on Saturday with the Braves placing their first five ahead of Palos Verdes' third runner.
"I am disappointed as an individual but it's hard to be sad when your team did what they did," Smith said. "Honestly, I had faith in our guys to do better than last week and that we had the potential to win it all when everyone says we're going to lose."
St. John Bosco coach Tim McIntosh, who called Palos Verdes untouchable after the Southern Section finals, didn't become a believer until the halfway point of Saturday's race. With 600 meters to go, McIntosh knew the Braves had the race won on a warm and dry afternoon.
"I knew beyond a doubt," McIntosh said. "I knew we could be right up there with Palos Verdes but it is a shock."
Particularly after St. John Bosco's performance at the CIF-SS finals, which McIntosh called the Braves' worst race of the season.
"I am still trying to figure it out," McIntosh said. "There was a lot of doubt on Monday. We had an off day last week. Palos Verdes had one today."
Saturday's triumph was the third state championship for St. John Bosco, which also won in 2003 and 2010. Two years ago, St. John Bosco defeated Palos Verdes to win the state title after finishing third to the Sea Kings in the Southern Section finals.
"If I were betting on horses at Woodward Park, I would bet on St. John Bosco," McIntosh said, jokingly. "All the state titles are memorable. I think this one is special."
Next week, McIntosh will have to pay up to an annual bet to shave his head in front of the entire study body for a state or Southern Section team title.
It was a memorable afternoon for Smith and the Braves, who had a 14-second time gap between their second through fifth runners. Sophomore Branden Estrada was 24th in 16:00. Senior Ruben Solorza (16:03) and junior Josh Lopez (16:05) were 26th and 27th. Senior Christian Roberts rounded out the scoring in 33rd in 16:14.
St. John Bosco's other two runners, sophomore Carlos Barrios (16:37) and junior Kevin Rodriguez (16:45), placed 67th and 75th.
It was also a breakthrough meet for the Poly boys. They placed fifth in Division I - their best finish since 2002 buoyed by the eighth-place finish of junior Miguel Bautista in 15:26.
Bautista's finish was the second-best finish by a Poly runner behind Chad Durham's state title victory in 1997. Poly set a school-record team time of 79:10 for its five scoring runners to break the record of 79:43 set at the Clovis Invitational this season.
Arcadia defeated California 53-127 for the title. Carlsbad was third with 127 and Vista Murrieta was fourth with 141, followed by Poly in fifth with 161. Poly finished sixth in the CIF-SS finals but finished as the section's fourth team on Saturday.
Poly coach Mike Fillipow credited the finish of the Jackrabbits' second, third and fourth runners with a three-second gap as crucial to Poly's top-five finish. Juniors Jovani Gamboa (15:47) and Christian Vazquez (15:49) and sophomore Anthony Palazzo (15:50) finished in 35th, 37th and 38th, respectively.
Poly did not have a senior among Saturday's team. Junior Zach Ponce was Poly's fifth runner in 92nd in 16:18. Junior Eris De La Torre was 99th in 16:22 and freshman Colby Penn was 118th in 16:30.
The Jackrabbits are already looking forward to the 2013 state meet.
"We honestly think we could have done better," Palazzo said. "It's really great being mentioned in the awards ceremony, but I have to admit it's hard not to look ahead. But we have to be focused on track season to keep things going."

Etro Spring 2012
Backstage just before her show, designer Veronica Etro, of the Etro dynasty, made a startling comment. "The prints we've done are so strong," she said, "that you can't really mix them." In a season where a cacophonous clash of hothouse, Hawaiian, and hallucinogenic flora has created a pattern for spring (quite literally), Etro is taking a singular position on its prints. The house, like others here in Milan, has felt the call of the Deco twenties. Yet Veronica Etro has rendered the prints that transpired from it in a relatively clean way, streamlining their chevron and ziggurat motifs into a series of gorgeous flapper dresses, cut loose through the waist and falling into hems that fluttered with plissé layers, or as a border of slashed pleats, or ones that swished with silk fringing. Other dresses had pretty touches of dégradé fade out around the shoulders, so that the prints didn't look too two-dimensional. "There are only dresses, really, few pants," Etro went on to say. "And because they are so elaborate, you don't really need any accessories."
No accessories? From a Milanese designer? Etro had plenty, of course—flat envelope purses in graphic formations of claret, seafoam, and shell pink, and a rather snazzily jazzy gold-and-black kitten-heel sandal—but you get her point. In a city that's no stranger to ladling it on, the look that is dominating many of the collections this season—the highly decorative dress that moves with softness and lightness, and doesn't get much more adorned beyond that—delineates the new approach Milan is bringing to its usual concerns of exuberant artisanal handwork and detailing. The workmanship is still there, it's just getting treated with a gentler, subtler, and—if this doesn't sound oxymoronic (or even just plain old moronic)—more minimalist hand. That these prints accounted for this collection's loveliest and liveliest moments is no surprise; they're the company's raison d'être, and Etro worked hard to take them far beyond a clichéd replay of Art Deco tropes, referencing, amongst other inspirations, the work of 1920s Italian Futurist painter Fortunato Depero. "Well, we've been doing them a long time," she said, laughing. "Even back in the minimalist nineties!"

Porsha Williams & Kordell Stewart reach divorce settlement
Porsha Williams may have a new single ready to release but something tells us she's not in the mood to celebrate.
The song's title, "Flatline" may be perfectly suited for her current financial situation now that she and her ex, Kordell Stewart, have officially finalized their divorce.
The proceedings have taken longer than usual because in Kordell's words, "People want things they can't have."
It looks like the former football pro got his way because Porsha walked away from the marriage with virtually nothing.
A judge decided that Porsha is not entitled to the couple's home, cars or bank accounts. And when it comes to alimony from her former beau? She gets zip, zero, zilch.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star better hope her singing career takes off because she's not even entitled to Kordell's retirement money, health insurance and she's responsible for paying off her own credit card bills.

If they are then 10 months time would take it to June 2014 so it looks slim. I'm pretty sure they'd want a big home crowd guy though so they may move it.
Thats a shame, if they would have made the Brandao fight it would have been a cracker.
Hope he is back asap, nasty injury and took it very well, got a bright future
Hopefully he uses the time out to realise dressing like the guy out of Fun isnt a good look tho!
Arr thats shit, hope he has a good recovery. Hardest part must be keeping his head straight whilst not training for a guy like Conor. No doubt uncle "D" will box him off with the best man for the job tho,no butchers
Gutted for him was doing so well at self promotion others can learn from him etc.
Retired 2k and out.
Guarantee he will not b out for 10 months!!

Do you know what kind of encryption he's using? Sounds like luks, but could be something else. Most likely you're SOL.
im having a little trouble with this "challenge" my buddy gave me, he uses red hat (2.6 kernel) and the whole hard drive is encrypted except /boot/, which i could find out with backtrack by opening up the hard drive.. my question is what are the steps one would go through to get root on this machine, or some kind of trick to decrypt the hard drive, and view its files...total noob here on encryption but i thought i could find an experienced user here in the specialist section
Do you know what kind of encryption he's using? Sounds like luks, but could be something else. Most likely you're SOL.
Step 1: Install a keystroke logger
Step 2: Wait for you friend to log on
Step 3: Profit
Full hard drive encryption is tough to deal with. Technically it is also vulnerable to password cracking attacks, but most encryption packages make it very expensive, (time consuming), to make a guess, and there just aren't many good tools out there to even try simple password guesses.
thats what i was thinking, when you guess passwords at the login screen, it takes about 5 seconds, so brute forcing would be time consuming even i could get a dictionary to automatically be typed in...
what im going toward is fighting the boot loader, he uses grub, and i can freely edit the grub config file, so would there be some kind of argument that gets me a shell right at boot time?
If he's using Truecrypt, you can use Evil Maid. It hooks the Trucrypt function that asks user for the passphrase, so that the hook records whatever passphrase is provided to this function.
Game. Set. Match
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
i'm just gonna say SOLVED, i gave it back lol no use starting out with entire hard drive encryption if i'm gonna learn cryptography
thanks for the help!
If your interested in cryptography might I suggest Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.

In many of the previous seasons, the Red and Blue attended the Garret Open hosted by Penn State at State College, with this year looking to be the Quakers' eighth appearance since the 2003-04 season. This year's event was cancelled, so Penn sent fencers to Cleveland to compete in the North American Cup.
A handful of Quakers also competed in the Temple Open to begin prepping for the 2013-14 season. Freshman Ricky Eschenbach placed second in men's Epee and freshman Adil Khan placed 70, out of the 101 competing fencers. In the men's Foil, transfer Dalton Kamish finished in 17.
For the women, a member of the Red and Blue represented each of the weapons. Senior Weny Zhoa took sixth in foil, freshman Alejandra Trumble placed ninth in Epee, and freshman Shriya Joshi took 13th in Sabre.
Saturday's competition will be in a dual format as an open event and multi-team meet.

I know I missed my weekly DIY post last week, but it was because my big sister was got married! The wedding was in North Carolina and everything was absolutely wonderful.
Weddings can be so extremely expensive. However, with my DIY state of mind, my family and I managed to do a lot of projects ourselves. This way, my sister could have exactly what she wanted and we saved some big bucks!
Here are some pictures of the items that were DIY:
Here is the card basket. The colors for the wedding were shades of navy and royal blue. We had this basket sitting in our attic, so I just wrapped some ribbon around it and made a pretty bow for the side.
The next challenge was the Matron of Honor's bouquet. It sounds complicated to do, but it was very simple. We used mostly silk flowers for the wedding because real flowers do cost a lot of money.
All you have to do is arrange the flowers in the order you think is best, secure with floral tape, and wrap some pretty ribbon around it.
This turned out to be so pretty!
My next project was a boutonniere. Just like the bouquet, arrange the flowers in whatever order you like, add some greenery and babies breathe, and secure with floral tape. Then just make sure you have a pin to secure.
The programs were done by my father. He designed them and printed them off.This saved the cost of just sending it to a printing company to decide the layout, ect. This way we knew exactly how it looked before the big day and we knew that nothing would be spelled wrong.
The last thing that I did was the bridesmaid's jewelry. My sister wanted us all to look uniform and instead of trying to go out and find something that every girl liked, I just decided to make them!
We did a bracelet and earrings. You could make necklaces, or anything you want but because our dresses had ruffles around the neck, we figured a bracelet and earrings would look best.
Even though the DIY projects I did were small, we did do a lot of other things that were DIY. I, however, didn't get to take many pictures because we were so busy.
To help bring down the cost of food, my mother bought a lot of the food herself. This way she knew it wasn't gross (lol) and that we didn't get overcharged by the caterer. We also had all the decorations for the centerpieces at home.
All these things could add up in a wedding, if you just have to pay for it all. DIY weddings are so great because you know what you're getting and you're not surprised if something comes back wrong or just not the way you wanted it.
Congratulation Mr. and Mrs. Michael Sullivan!

BELLEVUE, WA -- Coinstar Inc. said Gregg Kaplan, its president and chief operating officer and founder of its Redbox DVD rental unit, will be leaving. The company also named a new Redbox president.
Kaplan founded Redbox in 2002 by installing a few kiosks in McDonald's restaurants. Coinstar acquired the business in 2009, and today operates more than 38,000 DVD-rental machines nationwide. Kaplan, who was also Redbox's interim president, will continue in his role until March 31 and assist in the transition.
Anne Saunders will be Redbox's new president, effective Aug. 27. She will report to Coinstar chief executive Paul Davis.
Coinstar, which also operates coin-counting machines, generates most of its revenue and has driven most of its growth from its Redbox DVD-rental kiosks.
Saunders most recently served as executive vice-president and chief marketing officer at Knowledge Universe and has held leadership positions at Bank of America Corp., Starbucks Corp. and AT&T Inc.
The New York Post reported last week that Coinstar is in talks with a private-equity firm about a potential sale. It is also expanding its vending service range with Rubi single-cup coffee in conjunction with the Seattle's Best unit of Starbucks. | SEE STORY

Some USB keys have write protect switches on them.
Run "mount" to see if the drives are mounting as read only.
Hello all, new here. I am fairly technical with BT, okay maybe just familiar, and I am sure this is going to be simple, buuuut I just dont get it. I can boot up off of cd just fine and everything seems to work just fine, until that is.. When I put in my USB drive, it detects and mounts, i belive, GREAT! I then want to copy a .txt file but I get a glass sound and the "can not write to" message. I then could see my normal NTFS HD and tried to paste there with the same results. Since I could see/a the reguler HD .txt file, I tried to open it. Sure enough it opens. Okay, so I thought permissions were not setup. i go to set permissions to allow everyone to write (to either drive) and I get access denied, or something like that.
Now, I just booted with te thumb drive in the laptop and I can ow copy and paste just fine and dandy???? WT?? Okay, something with the detection I guess? Okay, thats fine and all, we can play that game, but, I am still locked out of the drive if I plug in AFTER I start up BT off the CD.
Can someone throw me a bone as to the exact steps (since I dont play with Linux too much) to get this one problem fixed?
Thanks so much in advance.
Tried to edit before it was too late, but, post did not come up until a few hours later.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to say that I checked google and non of my word searches were yielding me any results. I may not have looked long enough but I did spend an hour looking.
I know we are not supposed to post basic Linux questions, but, I am not sure if this is a basic Linux problem or a BT-3 specific problem so posted. If it is a basic Linux problem, I apologize ahead of time.

I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

text: And just like that, Selena Gomez has forgiven Justin Bieber for hitting on all the Victoria's Secret models and taking one on a date which he definitely tried to make not platonic. I really don't understand Selena. She seems like she is smart and strong and capable of being independent, but lets a tiny little ant walk all over her and do what he wants, when he wants and she just lets him back. On Wednesday night the pair spent the night at Selena's house and because they didn't have enough privacy they went and checked in at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills yesterday. You know, because Justin likes to get freaky and the walls at Selena's house are not thick enough. Can you imagine Bieber actually getting freaky? The guy has a really bad 4th grade drawing of a cartoon owl tattooed on his arm. Let me know when it says I am the God of Hell Fire and I will give it some respect.

boring troll is boring
matt inman is a super talent..
Wolfslair MMA
Matt was awesome at Fight Ikon 2 in March aswell.
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
Yeah he fought and won convincingly.
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
how do you do that thread failed thing
I knew what you meant Ian but judging by the huge debate and how you say in almost every thread 'God forbid UK MMA this and that' and 'Records never get recorded by promoters' etc. I was just saying he won convincingly.
Love you too Sir
Taking this shit, one day at a time.
- MMA is not a fairground ride, there is no height restriction you dozy cunt (as if any conversation goes PROMOTER: "hey you want to fight this guy?" FIGHTER: "How tall is he exactly?")
- the last time he 'fought someone decent' he fought Rick Jones at Ikon and properly handled him. Jones is a judo black belt and a monster on the feet. Inman won every second of the fight.
- Sometimes people lose. This is not boxing.
- When you see guys on a fighters record that have losing records themselves or lesser experience, you look at how the guy won that fight. They should be handling them/blowing them away.
- Inman has a lot of trouble with pullouts and late replacements etc

This year marks two decades of racing for a cure in Phoenix. And, beginning today, online registration for the 20th Annual Susan G. Komen Phoenix Race for the Cure taking place on Sunday, Oct. 14 in the State Capitol District is now open at www.komenphoenix.org.
This year's theme "Together, We Promise" is a reminder to the affiliate, its partners and participants that the impact the Race can make is greatest when the community works together.
"In celebration of our 20th year, we as an affiliate are challenging ourselves to make this the best race ever," said Heather Roberts, Race and Special Events Director. "We're asking the community to do the same by challenging participants to ask 20 friends to join them and/or to raise an additional $20 in donations for the cause."
Last year, more than 25,000 participants helped raise nearly $1.8 million towards education, screening and treatment for the medically underserved throughout central and northern Arizona and international research efforts. These efforts are what keep the Komen promise – to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures – alive.
"We've got to keep our momentum going," said Roberts. "The Race for the Cure is the single-biggest fundraiser supporting our mission, which is critical to the uninsured and underinsured women and men throughout central and northern Arizona. Quite simply, any reduction in participation or funds raised will result in a reduction of services provided through our community grants."
With donations 100 percent committed to the promise, a full 75 percent of all funds raised stay in the community and 25 percent goes to support international research into the causes and cures for breast cancer. Since its inception, Komen Phoenix has granted more than $17 million to support life saving breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs and $5 million to international research efforts.
Key to the Affiliate's fundraising efforts is sponsor support, which allows Komen's dollars to go even farther. Komen Phoenix is ever grateful to welcome back Fry's Food Stores as its VIP Partner for the 2012 Race. This will mark the eighth year in a row that Fry's has participated as VIP Partner, contributing more than $1.7 million in cash and in-kind contributions through the years.

FONTANA -- Police are investigating a Sunday night shooting that resulted in the death of a Fontana teen.
Police found Reyes Prieto, 17, of Fontana in the 17100 block of Fern Street about 9:25 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the stomach, according to the San Bernardino County coroner's website.
Prieto was pronounced dead at a hospital.
"Three young men were walking down Fern Street when they got into an argument with three other men in front of a house over gang affiliation," police spokesman Doug Imhof said.
"One of the three men in front of the house pulled out a gun and shot at the boys walking down the street."
Prieto was the only one to be hit, Imhof added. He suffered a single bullet wound.
A Fontana police SWAT team raided the home Monday morning where the shots originated but made no arrests.
Anyone with additional information can call police at 909-350-7700 or call anonymously at 909-356-TIPS.

Tax Facts Index
East Baton Rouge Parish
Department of Finance
Volume 19, No. 1
January 2008
Sales tax due dates are published in each issue of the Tax Facts to
assist taxpayers in determining when local sales and/or use taxes are due to
the Finance Department–Revenue Division. Under the authority of the Uniform
Sales Tax Code, and in accordance with the Uniform Local Sales Tax
Administrative Procedure Act R. S. 47:337.91, the Louisiana Association of
Tax Administrators has adopted regulations relating to the local sales tax
reporting date as follows:
301. General Provisions
A. In accordance with R. S. 47:337.18(A), the taxes levied by the local
ordinance shall be due and shall be payable on the first day of the month
and returns shall be prepared and transmitted to the collector by all
dealers on or before the twentieth day of each month for the preceding
reporting period. Every dealer, at the time of making the return required
hereunder, shall compute and remit to the collector the required tax due for
the preceding reporting period, and failure to so remit such tax shall cause
said tax to become delinquent.
303. Definitions
A. Definitions. For the purposes of these rules, the following terms shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in this Section.
Courier – a messenger other than the United States Postal Service
that delivers parcel, packages and the like containing returns, reports,
other documents or payments.
Legal Holiday – any legal holiday observed by the Local Collector,
Louisiana Department of Revenue or the United States Post Office.
Local Collector – the individual or entity designated as collector of
the appropriate single sales and use tax collection office, and his duly
authorized assistants, of any political subdivision authorized under the
constitution and laws of the State of Louisiana to levy and collect a sales
and use tax, except a statewide political subdivision, when used in
reference to a sales and use tax levied by such political subdivision.
Local Collector's Designated Agent for Electronic Filing –

305. File Date of a Return, Report and Other Documents
A. Delivery by the United States Postal Service. A return, report or other
document in a properly addressed envelope with sufficient postage delivered
by the Unites States Postal Service is deemed filed on the date postmarked
by the United States Postal Service. The postmark must bear a date on or
before the last date prescribed for filing the return, report or other
document in order to be considered timely filed. If the postmark on the
envelope is not legible, the taxpayer has the burden of proving the date
that the postmark was made. If the return, report or other document is sent
by United States registered or certified mail, the date of registration is
treated as the date of postmark. A postage meter date is considered a valid
postmark date provided it does not conflict with a legible United States
Postal Service postmark date. If the dates conflict, the United States
Postal Service date shall override the meter date.
B. Delivery by Courier. A return, report or other document delivered by
courier is deemed filed on the date it is delivered to the local collector's

deemed to be filed when both the return and remittance are transmitted and
available to be received by the local collector or the local collector's
designated agent for electronic filing.
E. Timely Filing When the Twentieth Calendar Day Falls on Saturday, Sunday,
or Legal Holiday. Unless otherwise specifically provided, when the twentieth
calendar day following the due date for any report or return prescribed
under the laws administered by the local collector, falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, or a legal holiday, the report or return shall be considered timely

adhere to this provision regarding local sales tax reporting dates. Please
contact this office if you have any questions regarding this matter at

surprised to find the item is sold unassembled? As an alternative to this
dilemma, some retail establishments will assemble the item for an additional
charge. The charge for assembly is considered to be a part of the selling
price, and as a result, should be included when calculating the sales tax
due on the transaction.
Remember to mail your return
early! Returns bearing a U.S. postmark on or after the above delinquent
dates will be assessed penalty, interest, and loss of vendor's compensation.

• When all else fails, try browsing (on some sites, such as Ancestry.com, you'll need to go to the page for the individual database). Start with the records for the most-probable date or place. Keep written track of which records you've already examined in case you have to stop and come back later.
Time's writer said Geni turns what can be a lonely pursuit into a collaborative effort with its information-sharing tools. "Geni makes it easier — and more fun — than ever to create and share your family tree."
More than 350 genealogists, "traders" (vendors), and volunteers traveled from all over New Zealand, Australia and the United States to attend the conference. We were impressed not only with the good humor and friendliness of all the attendees, but also the overall level of sophistication regarding genealogical research.
Besides us, 23 speakers lectured on topics geared to New Zealand research, which covered a broad range of ethnic groups representing New Zealand's melting pot: Irish, Scottish, English, Maori (indigenous peoples) and Chinese. If you have New Zealand ancestors, the society has a great online overview of resources. Also check out New Zealand GenWeb.At the banquet Saturday evening, Jim and I presented "Primetime's 20/20 Dateline: Sharon DeBartolo Carmack Interviews the World's Oldest Living Genealogist, Ole Smirnoff Bernatelli" featuring Jim as Ole, and it met with uproarious laughter. For Sunday's dinner, conference organizers Philip Worthington and Fiona Brooker, along with the genealogical society's executive officer, Peter Nash, treated us all to a hilarious version of "It's In the Bag," a popular game show in New Zealand. I was even one of the contestants, electing to take what was in the bag instead of the money—I won a calculator!
We thoroughly enjoyed the conference and meeting all the attendees. We even got to travel around the South Island of New Zealand in a pre-conference "holiday" with my newly married daughter, Laurie, and her husband, Dash.

Are there any foods that can help with conception?
I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I believe that there is a lot learn about nutrition and how certain foods affect the body. I try to stick to a very healthy diet of plenty of fruits and vegetables as well as meat and grains. I was wondering if anyone knew of any foods or supplements that they had tried in the past to help in conceiving.
31st May 2014 05:09 AM #2
Dear Campbell,
Thank you for your post.
I'm sorry to hear it has been taking you a while to conceive. Have you spoken to your doctor about this yet? This is generally recommended if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months.
It's really important to have sex during your fertile time each month. For most women this only lasts about 3 days each month. Do you know how to look for the natural signs of fertility each month? Are you using an ovulation tracker kit?
Your diet sounds good. You are right - it is important to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables when you are trying to conceive. Food rich in Zinc and Calcium is also important when you are trying to conceive. You should avoid too much vitamin A and avoid vitamin A supplements. Drinking plenty of water can also help and keeping stress levels to a minimum. It's also important to exercise regularly at a level you are currently comfortable with.
Are your periods regular?

Thank you for replying to my post. I have checked with my doctor and my husband and I have done tests and everything has come back normal. It is is interesting that you mention Vitamin A because too much Beta Carotene makes me sick to my stomach. I can't eat raw red capsicums, or raw carrots without getting violently ill and any supplements with Beta Carotene in them make me nauseous. I do exercise regularly and I drink a lot of water. My periods are regular although much heavier every second cycle.

Thanks for your reply Campbell. How frequently do you and your husband have sex? Here is a detailed previous post about how to look out for the natural signs of fertility which occur each month. It's important to have sex in this three day fertile window in order for sperm to meet an egg.
