"I am thrilled to announce this significant moment in Middlebury's history of environmental leadership," said President Laurie Patton. "I encourage the campus community to pause and reflect on the importance of this achievement and recognize the visionary work of so many people who brought us to this point."
The Quest for Carbon Neutrality
The quest for carbon neutrality began in 2001 when Middlebury completed its "Environmental Peak Report," following a year of strategic planning. One of the report's eight priorities was a recommendation that Middlebury set a carbon neutrality goal. That same year, a student intern conducted Middlebury's first-ever emissions inventory in conjunction with the organization Clean Air - Cool Planet, laying the foundation for measuring carbon emissions on campus.
By 2002, Middlebury's Environmental Council had mapped out its first Carbon Reduction Initiative (CRI), setting in motion a multiyear data-collecting and planning process by students, staff, faculty, and administrators. The CRI working group recommended what it felt was an achievable goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 8 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. When it became clear that the first goal was reachable-thanks to trustee approval of a new biomass gasification plant-a group of students sought a more ambitious goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2016. They brought their proposal to then-president Ron Liebowitz in 2006. "Ron was impressed enough with the students' arguments," recalled Jack Byrne, director of sustainability integration, "that he said, "I'll give you 20 minutes at the next trustees' meeting. You better be prepared!"
Liebowitz, who championed the carbon neutrality cause while demanding intellectual rigor from students, said he's incredibly proud that Middlebury met a goal that, early on, sometimes felt like "a shot in the dark"-and that the achievement speaks to both the enthusiasm of students and the receptiveness of administrators and trustees to chase a lofty goal. "The bigger lesson as educators is to give students the chance to pursue a big idea," said Liebowitz, who is now president of Brandeis University.
A Resolution by the Trustees
In 2007, the trustees adopted a resolution for Middlebury to become carbon neutral by 2016. "The path to carbon neutrality created new opportunities for learning and research at the College, and students have been involved at every step of the way," said Nan Jenks-Jay, dean of environmental affairs. "The process of meeting this challenge created a community ethos of collaboration and ingenuity that is at the heart of what we do as an institution deeply invested in environmental education."
May Boeve '06.5 was one of several students closely involved with the push for carbon neutrality. "Middlebury students were part of a global wave of campus climate activism, and we knew that calling on our college to take up a bold demand could inspire action elsewhere," said Boeve, now executive director of the leading climate activism organization 350.org. "The College showed admirable leadership at that time, and being heard by decision-makers helped transform us into lifelong activists and leaders."
Technical Innovation Plays Crucial Role
Technical innovation played a crucial role on the road to carbon neutrality. The first, and biggest, step forward came with the construction of the College's groundbreaking biomass facility in 2008. The plant was the first of its kind-serial number 001, as Director of Facilities Services Mike Moser puts it. It allowed the College to radically reduce the two million gallons of No. 6 fuel oil burned annually. The biomass plant was designed to replace half of that fuel. Now Middlebury has cut its No. 6 fuel oil consumption down from two million gallons to 600,000 gallons. Instead, some 24,000 tons of locally sourced wood chips come through the biomass plant each year. Middlebury's biomass is considered carbon neutral because the forests that supply it are growing faster than what's harvested, thereby absorbing more carbon than what's emitted by burning wood chips.
Byrne and Moser emphasize the importance of verifying that the wood supply is truly sustainable. "We have to test the assumption [that it's carbon neutral] all the time," said Moser-which means, in some cases, relying on students to crunch the numbers, step out into the woods, and work side by side with local foresters. Today the biomass gasification plant exceeds the manufacturer's original specifications, saving the College between $1 and $2 million a year, while pumping $1 million into the local forest economy. But, as with most entrepreneurial ventures, the path to neutrality was sometimes messy, sometimes disappointing. In 2007, for example, Middlebury partnered with the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry on a pilot project to grow willow shrubs on campus property as a potential local, renewable fuel source for the biomass plant. Unfortunately, after three years of growth, the initial harvest of willow chips contained too much moisture and then failed to gasify properly during a 2011 test at the biomass plant.
Biomass has played a key role in achieving carbon neutrality, but dozens of smaller initiatives have also made an impact. Over the last 14 years, Middlebury has completed 87 projects with Efficiency Vermont, investing roughly $1.5 million. As a result, Middlebury now saves $636,000-and 4.52 million kilowatt hours- annually. Middlebury is also a partner in three solar projects that produce (or will produce, in the case of a final project coming online before the end of the year) roughly 8 percent of the campus's total electricity load.
A Landmark Deal
The final step came in the form of a landmark deal to conserve in perpetuity 2,100 acres of forestland on Middlebury's Bread Loaf Mountain campus in Ripton, Vermont. By conserving the Bread Loaf lands, Middlebury can count the carbon sequestration of the preserved forest toward its carbon reduction efforts, rather than purchasing credits elsewhere. "We've always cherished this magnificent place and now it will always sequester carbon, do all the other important things forests do," said Jenks-Jay. "It will inspire us to find new ways to balance nature and human aspirations."
For Middlebury administrators and students, meeting the carbon neutrality goal is a milestone, but not an end point. Having snatched the low-hanging fruit with existing efficiency upgrades, Moser said his team will continue to look for places to save energy. Middlebury is also continuing to investigate participation in a project to build a facility that would turn cow manure and other organic fuel into renewable natural gas, a step that could further cut back the use of fuel oil and compressed natural gas on campus. "Middlebury will continue to improve its systems, seek new technologies, create educational opportunities, and set new sustainability goals," said Jenks-Jay. "Now more than ever, we need a greater commitment to creating clean, zero-carbon energy systems in this country, and that responsibility and innovation will likely come within our cities, businesses, and colleges and universities."
has emerged as one of a handful of the most highly regarded liberal arts colleges. Middlebury is unique among these schools in being a classic liberal arts college that also offers graduate and specialized programs operating around the world.

It's been several months since my 3 month journey around Australia by completely overland means, but I still havn't even finished writing about half of it! I experienced so much, and in so little time.
People often ask me, what was my favourite part of the trip? It's really difficult to answer that question. Australia is a pretty big country, and each state/ territory has it's own unique identity and culture. So when asked that question, I usually break down my highlights by state.
Western Australia Highlights
Western Australia was probably my favourite state to travel in. It is by far the biggest state in Australia, and yet it is the least visited. There are parts of Western Australia where it feels like you might be the first person to ever see that particular location. Western Australia has vibrant urban centres, vast outback deserts, stunning natural beauty, and great food and wine. There is really something for everyone here – if you are willing to make the long trip.
Western Australia also had some of the best weather of any state during my journey, as well as being the first complete state I visited. (I started in the Northern Territory, but I didn't finish exploring it until the end of my trip.)
So here are my favourite things from Western Australia, including a few things I didn't get to do, but would really like to experience some day:
Ningaloo Reef
Despite having our trip cancelled on the first day, and then spending the entire second day vomiting into the rough ocean, the Ningaloo Reef is still one of my highlights. Western Australia is one of the very few places in the world where you can swim with Whale Sharks. Whale Sharks are actually fish, not whales, and can grow up to 15 meters. They are the world's largest fish! They are also extremely gentle and only feed on plankton.
Swimming with them is an incredibly surreal experience. Despite being sick as a dog from the rocky boat ride, once I was in the water with the whale shark, it became the only thing that I could focus on. It was so gentle and graceful, and completely unconcerned with the group of eager swimmers who surrounded it.
Read more about our experience swimming with Whale Sharks
Fremantle is a small community just outside of Perth, and can be reached by the train network. Fremantle can get quite busy on a weekend, as city siders flock there for the beautiful nearby beaches, the great boutique shopping, and the amazing food and atmosphere.
Our main highlight of Fremantle was hands down the self guided beer discovery tour we led ourselves on. Fremantle is home to several craft breweries, and we made it our mission to sample them all.
Read about our Fremantle itinerary here, and if you only want to read about the beer, do it here.
The Pinnacles
I love national parks and interesting geological features, so it is no surprise that the Pinnacles are high up on my personal list of highlights. The Pinnacles are limestone formations that rise out of the desert sand in the Nambung National Park. We stayed in the nearby town of Cervantes and went on an extremely entertaining tour with an ex park ranger. The Pinnacles will be a highlight for anyone who loves landscape photography, and sci fi fans who want to pretend they have just landed on the moon.
Read more about the Pinnacles here.
Outback Western Australia – The Bungle Bungles
The Bungle Bungles are one of those things in Western Australia that I would really love to see, but just didn't have the chance to on this trip. The Bungle Bungles range are bee hive shaped formations in the Kimberly region of Western Australia and are a great place for hiking and camping. Another popular activity is flying a helicopter over the region.
We didn't have time to see the Bungle Bungles, so we rented a car in Kununurra and explored near by El Questro park instead. This was one of our first tastes of the outback proper, and we even managed to find a hidden swimming oasis in the middle of the desert, complete with waterfall.
Read more about our road trip in El Questro.
Foodie Delight – Swan Valley And Margaret River
The fertile regions of the Swan Valley and Margaret River make them perfect wine and fresh produce growing regions. Margaret River is by far the more famous of the two regions, and it is the one area I didn't get a chance to explore. In order to properly explore Margaret River you will want to spend at least 2 -3 days in the area. It is possible to do a day trip from Perth, but you will end up spending more of your time driving than drinking, and who wants that?
The Swan Valley on the other hand, while less famous, is much closer to Perth. We went on a grazing tour with Taste Bud Tours and got to sample fresh honey, freshly roasted coffee, home made ice cream, and of course plenty of wine.
Read more about the Swan Valley and Taste Bud Tours.
Western Australia Logistics
The main airport gateway to Western Australia is Perth.
Lauren and I travelled through Western Australia with mini traveller passes from Greyhound Australia. These passes allowed us hop on, hop off travel along the Greyhound Network. We used them to get everywhere we went in Western Australia.
Another way to get to Western Australia is by train. Great Southern Rail operates a Sydney-Adelaide-Perth line called the Indian Pacific. Read more about our Indian Pacific experiences here.
A portion of our trips travel was provided by Greyhound Australia. Greyhound provided our mini traveller passes through Queensland and the Northern Territory. Although Greyhound did not provide our Western Australia mini traveller passes, we loved them so much that we bought them anyway.

So what was that secret message about the other day?
The other day, in a post, I had message about saying goodbye to three friends. Someone PM'd me and asked "Cookie, whats the deal with that third message?"
Since it sounded mean, it was. Here is the scoop and the poop:
I have had this friend from my high school days and we used to hang out together in small town, Ohio. I adored him. I wanted to be his boyfriend, but, he was very, very closeted. How closeted - he became a rabid Republican. Talk about suppressing his inner self.
Anyhow, around 2006, he lost his job in DC, and came out with a vengeance.
Peter came out of the LGBTQA birth canal guns blazing and rainbow flags flying. Everything with him was gay, Gay, GAY, So GAY GOD DAMN IT THAT I WILL NOT BE IGNORED gay.
The problem is he forgot that many of us had been out for a while, and had turned into actual people in our forties.
Not Peter. Oh, no.
Peter became the worst person that Peter could become.
Instead of finding himself a nice guy, he finds himself these old men, sleeps with them, coo's sweet things, and they pay his way. He'll admit it and see nothing wrong with it. In other words, he's become whore. Peter has slept his way to the middle.
He is "over" everything.
He hobnobs with celebrity wanna bee's and talking heads, and treats them like the are Washington Royalty.
"Of course I am a whore. We're all whores," he's been known to say. He says he's "getting back at all the Republicans" that used him politically in DC, and now he is using them in bed.
But he has also assembled quite a following of equally vapid toadies on line. Facebook is great for that. The problem is, Facebook isn't real life. Its existence. No one will ever remember him as a biting wit online, or as he was in our youth, young, good looking and genuinely funny.
Peter's problem was that he that he thinks of himself as Holly Golightly, when in fact he's really better than a Mag Whitfield. He has become an insufferable boar, and more importantly, a dick.
Our mutual friend Carol said "He reminds me of the hangers on who went to Studio 54 on someone else's arm and lived liked the ropes were dropped for him and him alone."
The straw that broke the camel's back is that he showed up at his father's house in teeny tiny town, Ohio looking as if he was arriving in Milan. According to his sister, he wasn't kind to his father, who is in late 80's and was a wonderful adopted Dad to all of us in our social group. He called his child home a dump. Two hours later he was "out of here" and left. His father was heartbroken.
When his sister asked me to find out where was up with Peter. "When Dad asked him to go pick up his prescription at Wal-Mart, Pete told him that he should have arranged for delivery. Delivery from Wal-Mart? My brother is a douche bag."
So I sent him a message, and his response to me was flip, cold, and frankly something from a stranger telling me to butt-out.
Evidently all those perfectly tailors suits that his "mentor" pays for have cut off the circulation to his head. It seems to have killed his heart years ago.
So, there comes a times in your life when you can't continue on the same path with someone. You have to cut your losses. I am tired of his drama. I am tired of his abuse of our friendship and I am tired of being associated with the creep he has become.
In the coming weeks I will be going to the Ohio's for a reunion and will stop by and see Mac and do for him what his asshole son refused to - visit with him.
Some times, the cancer can't be treated. Sometimes, you have to cut the cancer out. Peter is out of my life. I wish him well. And I wish him a long life. What comes around goes around, Pete. Remember - you are 56 and the hunter. By the time you hit 60, you'll be the old man and the hunted by the type of hangers on that you once were. Such a waste.
Pete, grow a pair. Grow up. Do something for someone because its the right thing to do, not because you want something out of it.
And THAT was what that comment was about.

Normally it would not be funny to see a fight in the streets of New York City; it would definitely not be heartwarming. However that theme is one of the chances that Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore. took to create the Super Bowl ad in 2008, "It's Mine." The improbable cast of characters and the vertical majesty of the New York City skyline were united by the spot on Thanksgiving Day Parade´s building sized balloons and presenting the creative brand of the decade.
Underdog an Stewie, Family Guy´s sardonic infant, tear themselves from the ropes that are restraining them as the duke it out over a bottle of Coke, this of course does not cease to rise and is always out of the range of their swiping.

Stories about Canada's role in the world define "who Canadians are" and "who they are not." The story that gets told most is a positive one. Canada, benign and benevolent, promotes free markets, democracy and multiculturalism while protecting peace, stability and human rights in each country it engages in or does business with.
Optimistic and confident, this glowing story about Canada in the world is packaged and sold, over and over again, year after year. It shows up in the speeches of Prime Ministers and in the press releases spun by the major parties; it circulates across the news media and in popular cultural forms; it carries daily conversations.
However, this story of Canada the do-gooder abroad often deflects attention away from real social problems at home. Hard to consume social facts – class inequality, poverty and homelessness, racist and sexist oppression, the legacy of settler colonialism, and the rise of white Right extremism – are minimized if not denied in the story we tell about our "way of life" around the world. In a time when the Canadian State tries to sell a soft power-maximizing brand image of Canada to the world, the antagonistic bits and pieces of Canada's history and present get buried.
Nonetheless, the story of Canada abroad may get Canadians to think and feel themselves to be "global" subjects even when many are "local." Unlike diplomats and CEOs, most people cannot afford to be footloose. Bound to place by waged work, many Canadians do not have the money, time or privilege to "de-territorialize."
Furthermore, the story of Canada in the world makes it seem as though all Canadians make foreign policy decisions. Yet, only a few Canadians have the power to decide what Canada actually does in the world and why. For the most part, Canada's most consequential global actions are not shaped by all, but by a few Canadian business elites and their ministerial boosters at Global Affairs and National Defence.
In this regard, the story of Canada in the world is often little more than PR for those who run Canada's multi-national corporations and administer the Canadian State's geopolitical strategy on their behalf. This is not a national story written by all Canadians, but one crafted by Canadian elites. It is a story that masks Canada's conflicts at home and distracts Canadians from the violence done in their name abroad.
For those seeking a class conscious and genuinely internationalist alternative to the reigning story about Canada in the world, Tyler Shipley's new book, Ottawa and Empire: Canada and the Military Coup in Honduras (Between the Lines, 2017) is a must read.
According to Shipley, Canada is a "secondary imperial power" whose global incursions and ventures work to secure the ideology of neoliberalism and the profits of big corporations in a world capitalist system already rigged in their favour.
Far from having virtuous effects, Canada's diplomatic emissaries and Bay-street backed industrial giants have tacitly and explicitly dispossessed indigenous peoples of lands, resources, and cultures, destabilized democracies, and thwarted human rights.
Shipley's book centers on the Canadian State's support for the 2009 military coup d'état of Honduras's democratically elected and popular president, Manuel Zelaya, and interrogates how the Canadian State propped up an oligarchy-friendly dictatorship hospitable to Canadian capital. [Ed.: for more on the coup, see Bullet No. 231, 234, 238, 290.] Taking this specific case to be "paradigmatic" of the new Canadian imperialism, Shipley's accessible and lucidly written book debunks "several of the cherished myths that Canadians are taught about their country" (p. 3). It makes a timely and valuable contribution to contemporary political economy and critical cultural studies research about Canada's real role in the world.
Todd Gordon's Imperialist Canada, Jerome Klassen and Greg Albo's edited collection, Empire's Ally: Canada and the War in Afghanistan, Jerome Klassen's Joining Empire: The Political Economy of the New Canadian Foreign Policy, Paul Kellog's Escape from the Staples Trap: Canadian Political Economy After Left Nationalism, and Todd Gordon and Jeffrey R. Webber's devastating Blood of Extraction: Canadian Imperialism in Latin America are keyworks in 21st century studies of Canadian imperialism.
Shipley's book is a great addition to this field as well as to historical materialist international relations.
Bringing Canadian foreign policy down to earth from the heights of liberal idealism and up from Left nationalist defensiveness, Shipley's book deters readers from seeing Canada as an anti-American hero or as a pathetic periphery of the U.S. Empire. It gives evidential weight to the argument that Canada is an imperial power in its own right.
Moreover, Shipley's book disassembles the nuts and bolts of Canada's imperial machinery and demolishes the hubris of Canadian foreign policy spin. It introduces readers to the movements of the Honduran people struggling against homegrown oligarchs and militarists and foreign-owned mining, garment and tourist companies.
Significantly, Shipley's book pushes for international solidarity between Canadian and Honduran social movements and presses for global solidarity among all who are struggling for a world without imperialism, neoliberalism and militarism.
Crucial to building global solidarity is the re-energizing of a heterogeneous and democratic socialist movement in Canada that is capable of replacing the ruling class's story of Canada in the world with one that supports cultural dignity, social justice and peace for all. •

HK firms urged to support climate change initiativeMay 2009
A Hong Kong Carbon Reduction Campaign has been started by the Climate Group, an international non-profit organization whose aim is to promote a low-carbon economy.
The campaign, which runs until 31 March 2010, is Hong Kong's first cross-industry collaboration among companies on climate change mitigation.
The purpose of the programme is to motivate participants to learn more about climate change and to minimize their consumption of energy and other resources so as to reduce carbon emissions.
The Climate Group has already given training sessions to employees from participating companies to guide them in cutting everyday activities that produce emissions. They all received a toolkit containing low-carbon gadgets such as an energy-efficient light bulb, a shower timer and a thermometer.
More tips on carbon emission reduction are being given on the campaign website, which includes a forum for participants to exchange views. A roving exhibition is touring participating companies' offices to emphasize the importance of collective efforts.
The companies themselves are being encouraged to organize in-house events to sustain interest throughout the campaign.
Changhua Wu, the Climate Group's Greater China director, said: 'We strongly believe that the campaign will have a positive effect on business, improve the bond between employers and their staff, and effectively transfer low carbon practices to the home as well as families and friends.'
The campaign sponsors include the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and the HSBC Climate Partnership.

Farron blasts 'stupid' Trump over ambassador Farage 'I've more diplomacy in LITTLE finger'
TIM FARRON has blasted the idea of Nigel Farage becoming Britain's ambassador for the United States saying "I have more diplomacy in my little finger".
The Liberal Democrat leader laid into Donald Trump for his "stupid idea" just hours after the president-Elect tweeted "many people" want the Ukip interim leader to be Britain's ambassador to the US.
Wading in to the debate, Europhile Mr Farron took to Twitter saying: "Farage as ambassador is a frankly stupid idea. I have more diplomacy in my little finger. But what's more worrying is the axing of TPP."
Twitter users were quick to hit back telling accusing Mr Farron of hypocrisy.
Tim Farron has blasted ideas to make Nigel Farage US ambassador
Tim Farron's tweeted blasted the idea as stupid
Farage as ambassador is a frankly stupid idea. I have more diplomacy in my little finger.
One tweeted: "Tim, you don't display ANY signs of diplomacy or flexibility. You keep banging the same drum. Adapt."
Backing Mr Farage, another chimed in saying: "Speak for yourself. Leavers knew exactlt what they voted for."
One said:"But Farage is a million times more relevant on the world stage than you, so the content of your little finger is a moot point.
Mr Farron's remarks come after Prime Minister Theresa May flatly rejected Donald Trump's idea.
She shot down the idea of Ambassador Farage operating as a go between in the "special ralationship", with Number 10 saying: "There is no vacancy. We have an excellent ambassador to the US."
Donald Trump and Nigel Farage have formed a good relationship post-Brexit
Mr Trump shares a close relationship with the interim Ukip leader, who was the first British politician to meet him following his crushing defeat of Hillary Clinton, and called for current Anglo-American diplomat Sir Kim Darroch to be ousted in favour of Mr Farage.
The Republican maverick tweeted: "Many people would like to see @Nigel_Farage represent Great Britain as their Ambassador to the United States. He would do a great job!"

The Penshurst Mosque Open day was another event which reflected upon the diverse nature and harmonious value of Sydney's Muslim community.
The event which offered an opportunity for community cohesion and consultation saw many attend the South West Sydney Mosque including the 2MFM crew and showcased the richness and the hospitable nature of the Bosnian culture
The event was marked with a line-up of attendees which included the Imam of the Mosque Sheikh Saleh Mujala, Imam Jasmin Bekric, David Colman; Federal Member for Banks, Mark Coure, local Member for Oatley and Deputy Chairperson of the Community Relations Commission Mr Felice Montrone.
A welcoming message of peace and union was relayed during the day, with Sheikh Saleh and his staff proudly welcoming visitors with open arms.
The involvement and strong presence of 2MFM in their community was also acknowledged by the chairman of the Bosnian Islamic Council of Australia Imam Jasmin Bekric.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Muslim Community Radio, 92.1 FM for coming here today, to cover this beautiful event and for everything they are doing for the Muslim Community and the community in general in this city"
Mr Felice Montrone, reiterated this message by saying that migrants have been a key component to the richness of Australia and will be an important role in the future of Australia.
David Coleman said the event helps enhance the understanding of culture within Australia and erodes the barriers to bigotry and racism.
Notable reference to the Islamic Charity Projects Association was made by Mr Coleman for their ongoing efforts to engage the community through social awareness.
2MFM was pleased to provide a stall at the event and sell educational CDs and DVDs which is another example of its underlying commitment to serve and represent the Muslim community.
The Muslim Community Radio takes advantage of every opportunity to strengthen ties and form new networks with all communities. For that reason, 2MFM was extremely pleased to showcase their support to the Bosnian community in Penshurst and help them engender better understanding and social harmony. 2MFM always has its doors wide open to the Muslim Bosnian community and truly wishes them all the best in their future endeavours.

Welcome to laguna-water.com
Laguna Water District in cooperation with Civil Service Commission keep up its Awareness Campaign in Support of the ASEAN Community.
Pormal nang binuksan ng Laguna Water District Aquatech Resources Corporation (LARC) ang kanilang main line na maghahatid ng tubig sa mga residente ng Brgy. Wakat at Brgy. Manaol sa Nagcarlan, Laguna noong Disyembre 22, 2016. Ang pagbubukas ng main line ng tubig ay pinangunahan ng mga opisyal ng LARC na sina G. Crisanto Hilario (Presidente ng LARC), Engr. Rodrigo Yabut (LARC Chief Operating Officer), at Engr. Mat Wilson Ramos (LARC General Manager) at ng mga opisyal mula sa Laguna Water District (LWD) na sina GM Pantaleon Tabanao, Chairman Benito Romena, at Director Ramon de Villa.
Ginanap ang seremonya sa isang lugar sa gitna ng dalawang barangay kung saan nakalagay ang main line ng LARC. Ang makasaysayang okasyon ay dinaluhan at sinuportahan ni Vice Mayor Amie Malabag-Hernandez kasama ang ilang konsehal ng Nagcarlan na sina Konsehal Generoso Comendador, Konsehal Brando Araneta, Konsehal Felipe Arcigal III, at Konsehal Nelia Consignado. Bagama't hindi nakarating si Mayor Nelson M. Osuna, ipinaabot din niya ang kanyang suporta sa pamamagitan ng kanilang Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator na si Engr. Randy Moredo bilang kanyang kinatawan. Dumalo din sa okasyon sila Kap. Lorenzo Joyosa (Brgy. Wakat) at Kap. Leodigario Arcigal (Brgy. Manaol) kasama ang kanilang mga barangay kagawad.
Nagsagawa rin ng mga "special customer orientations" na ginanap sa dalawang barangay ang LARC para sa mga interesadong aplikante. Inaasahang dadaloy ang dalisay, ligtas, malinis at murang tubig sa mga kabahayan sa Brgy. Wakat at Brgy. Manaol simula Enero 2017.
Ang nasabing proyekto ay naisakatuparan ng LARC sa tulong ng LWD, lalo't higit nila Mayor Osuna, Vice-mayor Malabag-Hernandez, Sangguniang Bayan ng Nagcarlan, Pamahalaang Barangay ng Manaol at Pamahalaang Barangay ng Wakat.
LARC with LWD holds 6th annual science and math quiz contest
Laguna Water District Aquatech Resources Corporation (LARC) joined forces with Laguna Water District (LWD) to conduct the 2016 Math and Science Quiz Contest last October 13, 2016. The annual contest is a competition conducted previously by LWD headed by its General Manager, Engr. Pantaleon Ll. Tabanao. The main purpose of the contest is to create awareness on water- related issues among students, challenge the young minds' knowledge on math and science, and foster a sense of enthusiasm about the subjects and how they affect our daily lives.
This year, LARC partnered with LWD and opened the competition to elementary and high school students of Los Baños, Bay and Calauan, Laguna to continue this worthy endeavor. The overwhelming number of interested participants required a qualifying round that was held in LWD's office at Anos, Los Baños, Laguna. Only the top ten elementary and secondary students were allowed to continue to the contest proper. A board of evaluators were also present to verify the contestants' answers and monitor the contest. LARC invited Prof. Myrna Rodriguez, UPLB Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences as the chairman of the board. As board members, LARC also invited a representative from the Department of Science and Technology IV-A, Ms. Jasmin Hamid and a representative from Department of Education Region IV-A, Mr. Christian S. Balino.
For this year, the winners of the elementary division were Clark Andrew S. Guieb with Coach Johla N. Bondad of South Hill School Incorporated, Los Baños (1st place); Troy Joseph L. Valencia with Coach Mary Joserie M. Libre of Maquiling School Incorporated, Los Baños (2nd place). The winners for the high school division were Theresa Mae D. Villanueva with Coach Johla N. Bondad of South Hill School Incorporated, Los Baños (1st place); Fatima Patricia C. Murphy with Coach Marife B. Toque of Laguna Science National High School, Bay (2nd place).
In a decision signed last May 6, 2016, Calamba Regional Trial Court Judge Gregorio Velasquez dismissed the petition filed by Los Banos Councilor Norvin Tamisin last November 26, 2015 to prohibit the Laguna Water District from implementing a joint venture agreement with the consortium of Equi-Parco Construction Company, TwinPeak Hydro Resources Corporation, and MetroPac Water Investments Corporation to finance, rehabilitate, expand, improve, expand and maintain the water supply system of the towns of Los Banos, Bay, Calauan and Victoria.
Judge Velazquez dismissed the case for lack of merit citing that the court determined that Councilor Tamisin "failed to sufficiently allege acts constituting grave abuse of discretion amounting to excess or lack of jurisdiction that could warrant resort to the remedy of prohibition."
Councilor Tamisin had previously filed a Petition for Mandamus with Application for Preliminary Injunction and/or Temporary Restraining Order last October 28, 2015 which was also dismissed last April 25, 2016. The court determined the petition "moot and academic" after the Laguna Water District provided the documents and information requested by Councilor Tamisin that complied with all the requirements for transparency under the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Joint Venture (JV) Guidelines for public-private partnership projects.

After a resurgent series win last month that saw them conquering the top spot in the test rankings, team India will look to replicate their success against rivals England when they meet on Sunday for the first of three ODIs.
With Mahendra Singh Dhoni giving up his role as captain of the limited overs side, the impetus shall be on Virat Kohli to see through this phase of transition. For the English side though, who were beaten comprehensively in the longer format, it will be about battling the spin demons in their head if they are to fare any better in the shorter formats.
Sportwalk takes a closer look at both teams ahead of the much awaited encounter.
Last 12 Months:
11 Wins, 5 Losses, 1 Tie/NR
The statistics present a slightly misleading picture of England's form in the limited overs considering the fact that, of their eleven ODI wins in the last twelve months, five came against Bangladesh and a struggling Sri Lankan side. Against South Africa, they lost 3-2 in a five match series.
The batting wears a rather settled look with five of their top batsmen averaging over 40 and four of them possessing a strike-rate of over 100. While Captain Eoin Morgan does not have much to show from his recent performances, it would be interesting to see if he can lift the morale of his side and lead from the front. Bairstow and Moeen Ali were among the few English batsmen who looked comfortable against spin, and a similar performance could be expected from these two if the top order threatens to collapse.
England's bowling line-up in the limited overs poses a very serious question: what happened to a country that produced world class fast bowlers at will? With Anderson and Broad not playing, a lot shall depend on Chris Woakes, being the most experienced among the pace bowlers. Woakes will possibly share the new ball with young David Willey, who has the uncanny ability to make early inroads. But Adil Rashid will have his task cut out after a wonderful 2016 saw him become England's leading spinner.
Ben Stokes had a wonderful year, both with the bat and the ball with many legends lauding him as one of the best all-rounders of this generation. His performance in the test series too, showed how much balance he provides to this team. If England is able to put up a comeback, Stokes would certainly need to make an impact.
Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Liam Dawson, Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan(c), Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes
Last 12 Months:
7 Wins, 5 Losses
While they only ended up playing a total of 12 ODIs in the last twelve months, lately, they have struggled to find the right combination in this format. Dhoni, who was once known for his tactical brilliance and finishing abilities in the One Day Internationals, has found himself being in the midst of death over blunders far too often. Of the 7 wins that they got, a hapless Zimbabwe side handed them three. They lost the series in Australia and narrowly escaped against New Zealand, eventually winning 3-2.
While the batting looks solid based on individual performances, they have failed to pack a punch as a collective unit and the middle order has been found wanting with none except Kohli doing the job with any consistency. The opening, however, looks settled even in the absence of Rohit Sharma who is out with an injury. Lokesh Rahul, who narrowly missed his double hundred against England in the final test, is expected to open with Dhawan.
Yuvraj Singh, who will be making a comeback to the side after some stellar performances in the Ranji Trophy, played a brilliant knock in the practice match and is expected to fill the role of a finisher as Dhoni comes up the order. Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav are expected to fight it out for the 6th spot and may also put Rahane on his heels, considering that his performances in the shorter format have begun to put a question mark over his selection.
Curiously, the department that used to be India's weak link in the yesteryears now boasts of a new found zeal to become the best. With youngsters like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah putting their hands up every time their team has needed them to, and consistently improving with each performance, things look rather settled for the pace attack. And with Ashwin looking in top form, England's batsmen will have a job on their hands.
Ravindra Jadeja is a player you just cannot rule out, when you are playing in conditions that aid the spinners. His bowling may lack the bite on a green turf but the accuracy with which he bowls gives a lot of freedom to any captain that he plays under. As he showed in the test series, he acts as the perfect foil to Ashwin and can even give the team that cushion of a few extra runs in the end with his pinch hitting ability. Add to that his agility in the field, and you get a player any team in the world would love to have!
Lokesh Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), MS Dhoni, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Yuvraj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav
With two evenly matched teams pitted against each other, the outcome of the series will depend on who capitalizes on the right moments and puts the opposition on the backfoot. Though England has a strong lower order with Woakes, Plunkett and Rashid being able enough to bat, the Indians hold the edge with a weak English bowling up against them. An early win in the three match series could be decisive.

I use Bull Frog spray as it lasts up to 12 hours and it is SPF 45. My son is a toe head and VERY white (my husband is a red head and I am blonde and white), so during the summer I usually apply it to Brandon in the morning before I go to work and then I don't have to worry about if he goes to the park or outside while at daycare in the afternoon or if he's home with daddy and he's protected all day. I usually start this around the beginning to middle of May and keep it up until the end of September (I live in Arizona).

Awe inspiring. Majestic. And drawing thousands of tourists by the day.
This is "Iceberg Alley" in Newfoundland. This picture is taken outside of Ferryland (Population – 465) near the main shipping lanes of the North Atlantic.
It's been a big year for "Iceberg seekers" on the south shore. In a normal year there would be around 80 or so icebergs to watch pass by.
This year there has been approximately 600. And the tourists have been just as impressive, and just as impressed.
Great for them but a pain for the fishermen.
They can run aground, they can crash into shore, and they can break into pieces; which can be like a cannon going off. And it keeps going off!

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) says closing the mental-health and suicide gap between Indigenous and other Australians requires a bipartisan, long-term commitment to a dedicated Indigenous mental-health plan developed with Indigenous leadership.
It is widely recognised in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that a mental health crisis exists, with mental health conditions, self-harm and suicide reported at over double the rate of other Australians.
The APS supports in principle the 2015 Gayaa Dhuwi Declaration proposed by the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Leadership in Mental Health (NATSILMH), which calls for:
Leading psychologist and Chair of the NATSILMH, Professor Pat Dudgeon FAPS says building on social and emotional wellbeing and cultural strengths is the foundation for improving Indigenous mental health and preventing suicide.
"A network of relationships between individuals and their traditional lands, family and kin, is central to social and emotional wellbeing," says Prof Dudgeon. "These are protective factors and a source of resilience against the challenges of life that impact on Indigenous mental health – such as racism, entrenched poverty and disadvantage."
She says closing the mental health gap requires a re-think of conventional models of delivering mental health services.
"There is a need for more community-based, culturally appropriate mental health services that include strengthening culture and identity," says Prof Dudgeon. "These need to be developed in consultation with Indigenous leaders and delivered by culturally competent health professionals."
Prof Mike Kyrios, President of the APS and co-chair with Prof Pat Dudgeon of the APS Indigenous Psychology Advisory Group, says the APS is striving to contribute to closing the Indigenous wellbeing gap by working with its members to increase cultural competence among psychologists, increase the number of Indigenous psychologists and improve training of psychologists in relation to Indigenous issues.

A Northern Arizona campground where a bear attacked a woman this month has reopened.
Tonto National Forest officials said there have been no signs of the bear returning to the Ponderosa Campground following the May 31 attack. The campground is just off Highway 260 about 10 miles east of Payson.
A 74-year-old woman awoke in her tent to a bear clawing at her. Officials said after tearing open the tent, the bear reportedly stuck its head in and clawed at the woman. She had bruises and a laceration on her scalp.
The bear they have been looking for is considered a category one bear, which means it is aggressive enough to be destroyed if it is found or captured, said Game and Fish Wildlife Manager Jarrod McFarlin.
Arizona Game and Fish officials said the strategies they employed to catch the animal did not work. They cautioned the public there have been more bear sightings reported this year because of the ongoing drought.

Mrs. Green has published her first book titled Your Mother Called (Mother Earth) . . . You'd Better Call Her Back! Listen to Mrs. Green talk about her book in the video below and read the reviews already submitted by a few of the first to read the book.
Your Mother Called (Mother Earth) . . . You'd Better Call Her Back! carries Gina Murphy-Darling's passionate message of respect for Mother Earth. Taking on her radio show personality of Mrs. Green, Murphy-Darling identifies many of the incredible environmental challenges we face as a human race and offers one woman's solutions on how we can begin to live intentionally to help preserve the very planet that gives us life.
From listing the dangers of fracking and the harmful chemicals in our food and our cleaning products to giving tips on a greener way to entertain, Mrs. Green will motivate you to wake up and smell the roses while there are still roses to smell. Filled with anecdotes, humor, and some fairly bold statements, Your Mother Called may make you laugh or cry, but most importantly, it will inspire you to change some harmful habits and encourage you to influence others.
Read it, enjoy it, and share the message so that we can all become intentional, committed members of a global community who care about the planet we share.

"Your Mother Called is a quick, fun read full of practical tips that can be incorporated into a busy lifestyle. Mrs. Green strikes the perfect balance with her humor and wit in educating (not preaching at) the reader on her vision of taking care of Mother Earth through conscious living and small steps that will ultimately make a big impact in preserving our planet. Mrs. Green truly is inspiring in this "must read" for all of us who want to ensure that the actions we take today help make tomorrow better."
– Amy D. Herschell, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Psychology, West Virginia University
"Mrs. Green has single-handedly fueled my own personal "green" journey, and this book will now become my go-to handbook as I continue to green my life. Gina manages to take heavy-hitting—at times daunting—topics and distill them with her own brand of genuine heart and humor so that anyone who reads her words can't help but say, "Of course! That makes so much sense. I can do that, too." It will make readers wonder why they haven't all been doing these things out of sheer common sense from the start. Mother Earth needs more people like Mrs. Green championing her cause. This book is their perfect 'how-to' manual."
– Sue Carr, mother of two, Pittsburgh, PA
The "introvert" variety of environmentally-minded folks (self included) should be crowning you queen for being our voice on these issues, so I hereby dub thee Queen Green! Your Mother Called boldly yet tenderly says what urgently needs to be heard by the general populace. I especially love your disclaimer that it is not a scientific journal – thank God!! Finally, here's something palatable for the masses, AKA, the people with the power to make the changes which need to be made. You've provided an easy-to-follow road map to get us there, and for that I am deeply and profoundly grateful. With much love and admiration…

|World 2-Rainbow
|World 2
|New Super Mario Bros. X
|There are no star coins in this level. This is the second Rainbow level.
2-Rainbow is the Rainbow Course of World 2 in New Super Mario Bros. X.
To access this level, the timer must end with the two digits "22" (that is, "x22", where "x" can be any number) when the player reaches the Goal Pole of any World 2 level. Once the level is completed, it can be accessed again by satisfying the above condition once more.
The level begins with Mario on the desert floor with several platforms and a green Warp Pipe which takes Mario to the sky. Before using the pipe, Mario can stand on the block to the right to make Coins fall. Upon landing in the course, the screen scrolls automatically. Coins begin to fall in straight vertical lines. After that, there will be heightened platforms which the player should use to get the 100 Gold Coin which falls with more coins from above. A Red Ring then appears. Going through it will make eight Red Coins parachute from the sky. Collecting all eight will put a Gold Flower in the player's inventory. Finally, the last coins fall where Mario jumps off and return to the World Map, along with Gold Lakitu.

afrothundaaaa: Its funny to watch a review of a product that has been out for like 7 years. I am retiring my HAF X (Non-nvidia) after ~7 years for something a bit more...clean. I got my HAF X the second week after it was released, iirc. It was like in June/July of 2010. It has seen 5 builds in the past 7 years (would have been less if things didn't explode on me...) and has even my first build's sticker for its ATI Sapphire that i had from about 2000-2002. I will be re-building after heavy modding of the case to support multiple rads and do a full water cooled build.
Shawn Jones: eww. it says nvidia on it. dont wanna be a fanboi
DevTheBigManUno: Ah the good ol days. haha That firewire. Cases now arent as sun. Have had three cases in the last few years two of them had to be personally modified.

Matt Robertson: just picked up one of these monsters for £40 ... good condition with all the fans and bays intact.. ;O)
Mac Guy3135: Still the king of large cases. Nothing beats it for pure cooling.
Tom Brown: This case paired with a Gigabyte Sniper motherboard and my GTX 970 would make for a sweet colour-coded system! Even prior to watching this video I got cheap budget Kingston ram but the good thing is that it is GREEN!! So it will fit very well with this build. My only problem is where to buy this case? I looked on Amazon and it is not there. Are there any other online stores that sell this?

Unanswered: Unable to do multiple updates on a recordset
Can anyone help me? I take a recordset from an Access Database Object and place it in an array. I then sort the array. When i try to overwrite the recordset with the now ordered array with the algorithm below i get the following error.
*** Key column information is insufficient or incorrect. Too many rows were affected by update. ***
I don't understand why this is happening..
With myConnection
.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & myPath
End With
myRecordset.CursorLocation = adUseClient
strQuery = "SELECT * FROM Plans"
myRecordset.Open strQuery, myConnection, adOpenStatic, &_ adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
'*** Place data from the myRecordset into myArray and sort
index = 0
While Not myRecordset.EOF
myRecordset!field1 = myArray(index).field1
myRecordset!field2 = myArray(index).field2
myRecordset!field3 = myArray(index).field3
index = index + 1
'*** Error occurs within this while loop

Verify you haven't added or changed any key field, then try inserting the following:
myRecordset.FindFirst "<KeyField> = '" & myArray(index).<fieldN> & "'"
After the "While..." statement.
<KeyField> is the column name of the key.
<fieldN> is the array variable where you stored the key.
If <fieldN> is numeric...you don't need the single quotes before and after.

Thanks for the help Bruce..
I figured it out a little while after i posted the thread.. I wasn't using primary indexes in my access tables. So when i ordered the array and tried to copy the array back into the recordset one element at a time, I was creating duplicates when the element i was copying back existed in its pre-ordered position lower down the recordset.
I think this is similar to what you were pointing out in your solution, that i look for the 'key field'.
A lesson i have learnt is to always use a primary index!!!! Are there any cases it is not needed?

There are many instances where you don't need/use the primary indexes.
Ad Hoc requests are usually generated by the user community.
Indexed are usually critical to the IT community for maintenance.

Between Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, it's probably not a good idea to pick a fight with any of the ladies walking in the 2016 Victoria's Secret Runway Show.
The model and #Kardashian crew member stopped by the Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday night and revealed to the late-night host that she's taken up #boxing to prepare for this year's lingerie-filled event. While Jenner seems to be getting the hang of things in the ring, the star admits that she's not the best at the sport.
"I'm not fantastic, but I think I'm okay," Jenner said. "I'm a pretty gangly person."
Corden got the runway model to show off some of her moves for the audiences, although he didn't seem that impressed with her skills. Well, that is until she landed a hard right cross that caused the comedian to yelp.
"At least I didn't have my ring on," Jenner joked.
The short training session impressed ex-NFL star Michael Strahan, who was also a guest on Wednesday's episode.
"That was good," Strahan said. "She's ready."
"Look at those guns," Corden added. "Victoria's Secret, those bitches better watch out."
Jenner isn't the only model who's getting into the fight game. Brazilian runway legend Gisele Bündchen has also been working on her martial arts moves, and was spotted training with former #UFC flyweight Tateki Matsuda.
Who knew models could kick so much ass?

Goodluck Tinkers!
Sounds promising Bec! I was actually going to ask about that today...
Do any of you test the trigger out?
I've done 1 trigger cycle and 1 booster cycle. The first trigger cycle I did was only 5000 units and was out of my system by 12DPO. The booster cycle, I had a faint line up until I got AF, but my last booster of 2000 units was at 9DPO (have a LP of 15 days) so it was probably that.
I still have a fair few tests left over from those cycles, but not sure if I want to use them to test the trigger out as it's 10k units this time! Plus I don't want to see it get lighter and then disappear.
I'm also not sure if I will do a HPT the morning before my BT. Does anyone do that?
I don't want to get a BFN and then rub salt in the wound with the BT news, but I also don't want to get a false BFP incase it is still the trigger?
Oh geez! I don't know if any of that made sense, but if it did...imput would be appreciated
Scan and bloods tomorrow! Hopefully they will tell me to trigger soon. My belly can't handle anymore needles!
31-01-2012 19:48 #493
Hi to all those in the 2ww or heading there soon
Sorry to say but the craziness doesn't end there. I'm now 4wks 5 days preg, according to calculator, and still wanting to poas all the time. Just did the one last Thurs for bfp, and have scan on thurs fortnight... so think I'll do poas each Thurs in the meantime... although just waiting for thurs to come is driving me crazy .
Still soooo nervous!
Don't poas too early tho girls... I've seen too many false +ves by girls who've done it b4, which only leads to tears. It's torture waiting tho.
Good luck!

Hi All, just a quick stop in to say best of luck to all of you doing EPU's and transfers.
Moo Mechanic, Tiger, Tinkers, Jeb and anyone i missed, hope your ET's go well and you get a nice sticky embryo.
Jeb, what a haul of eggs, well done! Hope you get some to freeze.
Disney, sounds like all is going well, hope your EPU is successful.
Fingers crossed for all of you in the TWW, hope we start seeing lots of BFP's soon!
ATM - i'm pretty devastated, looks like there is a good chance my cycle will be cancelled. I've got 1 big follicle on each side, and a couple of others that are getting there, but because of the pcos, there are way too many small ones. They said if my estrogen isn't high today, i can keep going but if it is, they are going to cancel today because they don't want to risk OHSS. I have a feeling its all over. It sucks, i've been really teary (probably because of all of the hormones) but will just have to get back on and start again. Apparently at my clinic only 4% of cycles are cancelled, of course i'd have to be one of them.

Clementine Grace, I am feeling for you. Praying that your cycle is not cancelled, and also praying that you don't get OHSS.
FM, I had my transfer this morning, so am on my TWW. excited and nervous all at once. I was very lucky that there were still 5 embies today. The one they transferred was classed as perfect, there were 2 great, which will be frozen, and two others that would have still been ok if we didn't have any fantastic ones.
Feeling good at the moment, but know that emotions change on a daily basis with IVF!
01-02-2012 13:47 #498
Clementine - I really hope that your cycle isn't cancelled. When will you know about your levels? I hope they are still low for you!
Tiger - Goodluck and may your TWW seem fast!
everyone else!
AFM - Had more bloods and a scan today.
All up I counted in my head as they spoke that I have 9 follicles, 2 or 3 of which are 16mm and under.
Left side - My 25mm one on Monday is now at 30mm!
I also have a 24 and a 23 and a few smaller ones...Needless to say that I jumped when the probe went to the left side as it REALLY hurt!
Right Side - A 24, 23 and a few smaller ones.
They also said that my lining was nice and thick, but didn't say how much exactly. On day 7 it was at 10mm already, so I can only assume it is either the same or thicker?
Does anyone know if a too thick lining will make it hard for implantation?
I really hope that they call me this afternoon and tell me to trigger. I don't think I can handle so many large follicles all at the same time!
01-02-2012 13:54 #499
Hi everyone
Clementine - sorry to hear you're having issues with your stim cycle. I have severe pcos & spent 1 whole year on stims where cycle after cycle was cancelled - some cycles were over 2 month's long! I was producing over 40 follies each time & as many as as 60 follies for one of the cycles! My ovaries were the size of grapefruits and I was in so much pain I couldn't sit. I almost had to be hospitalised on a few occasions. My dose went up & down trying to get the perfect dose - 60 units of Gonal F was too much & the next dose down at around 50 was too low, so we ended up alternating doses on different days & eventually managed to nail it. It was absolutely devastating for me & I put on 15kg's which made it all the more devastating. What I'm trying to say, is that I know how you feel, but don't give up hope because you'll get there. I know it's easier said than done. It might take a bit longer than you expect, but it will happen. It sucks that some of us have to go through so much to get there. I'm thinking of you & hoping this cycle is the one for you xx
Lilwish - ha, you crack me up! It's funny, we go through so much to get that BFP but then when we get it, we're so jaded by the whole IVF process that we can't just relax! After all the waiting - waiting for AF, waiting for EPU, waiting for ET, waiting for BFP....then we get there & it's more waiting to find out if things are going ok, waiting for that next blood test, next scan etc! Aaargh!! I hope the wait till your scan goes quickly for you & that all goes well xx
BecT - wow, congrats on the faint second line! And at only 6dpt - that's so soon! I didn't get my line until around 8/9dpt! Sounds very promising! I hope the rest of your 2WW goes quickly & that you get your BFP confirmed soon!
Jeb - well done hun, that's a fantastic number! Are you aiming to grow your embies to blast? I hope you get some great quality embies - all the best for your ET and the 2WW! xx
Cal1 - Thank you so much for thinking of me and for your kind words, it means a lot. That's great about the EPU! I hope it all goes well and that ohss isn't too much of an issue for you. My fingers are crossed for you to get lots of nice quality embies for transfer xx
joozes - 4 embies, that's a great result! I hope you survive the 2WW and all the very best for that BFP!
Disneybaby - I hope you're doing ok and not in too much pain. 30mm - wow, that's huge! That might be the golden egg! Good luck with the EPU, I hope you get lots of great embies to work with this cycle! As for lining thickness, I'm not completely sure but I don't think it can be too thick - I think the thicker, the better. For my recent cycle, we aimed for thicker to improve chances at implantation. The only prob I had with this, is that I had some mid cycle bleeding which the doc attributed to some of the lining breaking down a little because it was so thick. Maybe query it with your FS - I'm sure that he/she would be doing what is best for you.
Emmylou - I'm so, so sorry. That must be absolutely devastating for you. I hope you're doing ok - thinking of you
To the 2WW's - I hope you're all doing well & that the waiting isn't sending you batty! for some BFPs!
To anyone else I have missed, I hope you are all doing ok
AFM - Sorry, I was meant to pop in on Monday & let you know how my blood test went. It's been a pretty stressful time so I've been trying to avoid the net as I end up spending hours googling my symptoms & stressing myself out! I've been off work all week to rest as I am so scared to do anything that might cause mc.
On Thurs (day after bleeding), the nurse called & said they wanted me to increase my pessaries to 4x day plus PIO shot every 2 days.
I had my blood test Monday morning to see if my hCG levels had increased - got up at 5am so I could be there when they opened at 7:30am, which would mean I'd get my results asap (usually in 2hrs). I still hadn't heard anything by 3:30pm & had spent the day in tears expecting the worst. I had called & left a message earlier but never got a call back so when they asked if I wanted to leave another message, I told her I was waiting to get results to find out if I'd mc'd & was really upset as I should have had my results hours ago.
Anyway, the nurse finally came back to me & said that my hCG had gone up from 5,164 on Wed to 16,000 - thank god! Apparently that is right on track. My progesterone had also gone up from 19 to >60, so the PIO shots are working. Thankfully, things are sounding promising & at least I know the embie is still in there and growing. I'm experiencing a lot of cramping though, so I'm really nervous that it might be ectopic (see, too much googling is not good!!) and am anxiously waiting until tomorrow for my first scan. Just praying that we see a heartbeat and that everything is where it is meant to be.
Sorry, that's a bit of an essay! There's so much going on that there's too much to catch up on when away for a few days!
I'll try to pop in tomorrow with an update - scan is nice and early at 7:20am, so at least I don't have too much longer to wait.
01-02-2012 13:54 #500
I have a question aswell...
Usually after O, my nipples get sore and the sides of my boobs hurt. I know that I haven't O'd because I saw all my follies on the scan today, but yesterday I noticed my nipples hurt and the sides of my boob (left one only atm) hurts as if it would on a natural cycle.
Has anyone else experienced their usual natural cycle 'symptoms' while doing IVF?
I just know it is going to mess with my head because although I know they hurt BEFORE anything really happened, like EPU, it will always be in my head that AF is coming. Especially if my nipples stop hurting after about a week and a half because AF usually arrives a few days after the pain stops...
Sorry for being so annoying and asking so many questions. I wasn't having any trouble dealing with IVF until today. For some reason I just feel like it has started to take it's toll, and it would be a huge shame to go through all of this with nothing to show for it (maybe).
And I feel bad because this is only my first cycle and I don't want anyone to get upset with me for complaining (I know that I use to HATE it when newbie TTC'ers came in complaining that they weren't UTD after 2 months trying, while I had been trying a year and a half or more already!)
-EDIT- Snowbunnii that is GREAT news! So happy for you!

KY - Man tortures pitbull puppy, drags behind truck
A pit bull puppy named Malachi lies in bandages in a local animal hospital. He's in and out of sedation, has lost 30 percent of his skin and is waiting for another surgery.
Meanwhile, the man accused of dragging the dog behind his truck is in the Warren County Regional Jail. Shane Helson, 22, of Richardsville, was arrested Monday at Greystone Pet Hospital after dropping by to visit the dog, according to the Warren County Sheriff's Office.

The guy says he forgot the dog was there. I tend to think the chain would have let him know at some point, sparking or making noise , but I dont know for sure. Hopefuly he did forget his dog was there and he did not do this on purpose.
uggg this is a hard case. Being an ACO myself, I would really have to investigate this on and interview the friend. It is truly possible that the man forgot he had tied his pup to his truck, but its also entirely possible he drug him with intent to hurt or kill him. Ive seen dogs who were tied in the back of pickups and jumped out, and were dragged. Its horrible. I believe this man should be punished and cited, even if it was an accident, the dog is still brutally injured. It sets a standard. I work daily to change the law about dogs riding in pickups, because this is what can happen. Please safely secure your buddy at all times.

Review: The rhythm of dance is gonna get you
"Off the Record," the UMD Dance Concert that opened Thursday night on the Mainstage at the Marshall Performing Arts Center, brought together different combinations of dance artists and live musicians vividly demonstrating the range of what can happen when you are doing choreography.
"Irish Elements," choreographed by LilaAnne Coates White began with classic ballet fused with Irish dance moves, which quickly moved beyond such strictures. "Migration," choreographed by Rebecca Katz Harwood, was the piece where the dancing ended up being rather secondary to the music composed by Marty Winkler, whose opening a cappella song, piano ballad and closing narrative were compelling enough to stand on their own.
"Off the Record" offered some of the longest dance pieces I have seen, because several were driven by rhythm more than melody. Guest choreographer Max Pollack's two pieces, "Samba Do Barba" and "Ochosi," were examples of rumba tap, a mixture of Afro-Cuban rumba with tap dancing and body percussion, which involves hands drumming on the body while tap dancing and singing. "Samba Do Barba" was the most organic piece of the evening. Pollack closed out the evening with a tour-de-force solo set that included ample audience participation.
Another highlight of the evening was "Sansei (Third Generation)," which closed the first act, choreographed by Ann Aiko Bergeron with a driving original score by percussionist Matthew Groom.
Representing the more experimental end of the spectrum, "Illusions," choreographed by Alana Tingelhoff against a soundscape created and mixed by Trevor Norberg, had each musical segment driven by a particular rhythm, where the pace of the dancing, seeking to match and often surpass the beat, created the melodic visual. "Play, Control, Unite," combined Amber Burns' choreography with an original score composed and performed by Adam Sippola, which involved a didjeridu at one point.
The second half began with "Hang Time," also choreographed by Katz Harwood, which was done to a trio of songs composed and performed by the group "Red Mountain," where the instrumental sections allowed the dancing to be extended. Bodies bouncing off and resting up again or upon each other was a repeated motif in this piece. Katz Harwood also did a solo piece, "Shall We?" when I came to the conclusion that Ryan Frane's piano playing represented water and Katz Harwood's dancing represented air.
The most provocative piece was "Invisible Tethers," choreographed by Grace Holden with an original score by Matt Mobley. This was a piece for two male dancers (Pascal Pastrana and Josiah Thompson), a bass fiddle, and cellophane. Virtually every UMD dancer in the show was performing in multiple pieces, but in addition to choreographing this one, Holden danced in both of the Pollack pieces and played the trumpet for Red Mountain. She had me at choreography.
Lawrance Bernabo is wondering if he will have made it home from UMD by the time you read this review ...
