Goldcorp is one of the world's fastest growing senior gold producers. Its low-cost gold production is located in safe jurisdictions in the Americas and remains 100% unhedged.
The Éléonore project is one of the significant projects in the Goldcorp development pipeline and a key component of our next generation of growth projects. On target for first production in late 2014, development is proceeding on schedule.
The Porcupine operation is located in Timmins, Ontario, one of the world's great gold producing camps. In 2010, Porcupine marked its 100th year of continuous mine and mill operations and has produced more than 66 million ounces of gold since production began. Its future has been revitalized with successful exploration and continued progress on a deep underground shaft that will significantly extend the mine's productive life.
Since achieving its first commercial production in April of 1997, Musselwhite mine has produced over three million ounces of gold. The 2010 discovery of the Lynx zone—a zone of higher-grade ore above the cornerstone PQ Deeps underground operation—has created the potential to significantly enhance economics and extend productive mine life.
The Cochenour project is an important part of Goldcorp's future plans in the Red Lake district, providing sustained, high-quality gold production beginning in the first half of 2015. Annual gold production is expected to average 225,000 to 250,000 ounces, over an approximate 20-year mine life.
Located in one of the world's most prolific gold districts, Red Lake is Goldcorp's top producer, yielding approximately 500,000 ounces annually at low cash costs. The High Grade Zone is the backbone of the Red Lake operation, with an average grade of more than two ounces of gold per tonne.
The Wharf mine is an open pit, heap leach operation. Successful exploration has continued to grow the gold reserves and extend the mine's life. The mine has been recognized for its close ties to the local communities and its progressive reclamation of previously mined areas.
The South Arturo project consists of a series of sediment hosted Carlin-style gold deposits adjacent to and including the former Dee gold mine, 35 kilometres northwest of Elko, Nevada.
Located in Nevada, Marigold is an efficient open pit operation that has been in production for over two decades. Originally a modest, conventional milling operation, the mine was converted into a large run-of-mine heap leach operation, producing an expected 95,000 to 100,000 ounces of gold for Goldcorp in 2013.
Located in Chihuahua State, Mexico, El Sauzal has been a reliable, low cost and an important foundation for Goldcorp's Mexican operations, gold producer.
Recent results of an internal study have led to the decision that the Noche Buena gold/silver project will not be a focus for development at this time.
In 2010, the Peñasquito mine achieved commercial production on schedule and on budget. In 2013, the mine is expected to produce between 360,000 and 400,000 ounces of gold.
The Camino Rojo gold/silver project is 50 kilometres southeast of the Peñasquito mine. During 2012, a study was completed that contemplates a heap leach facility to process near-surface oxide and transition mineralization. The study demonstrated strong financial returns but does not reflect recent positive exploration results in the sulphide portions of the deposit. Until the sulphide opportunity is more thoroughly understood, development and construction of the heap leach facility will be deferred. Work will continue in 2013 on sulphide zone exploration, permitting and metallurgical testing subject to the execution of a surface rights agreement.
In operation since 2007, Los Filos is a solid producer with 2013 gold production expected to be between 340,000 and 350,000 ounces. New exploration continues to support the potential for significant new reserves in the current open-pit and underground operations as well as in the new 4P project adjacent to Los Filos pit.
In 2010, Marlin mine produced its one-millionth ounce of gold and continues to generate significant cash flow. Marlin has been in production since late 2005, and in 2010 produced its one-millionth ounce of gold. Now exclusively an underground mine, it is forecasted to produce between 185,000 and 200,000 ounces in 2013.
Cerro Blanco is a classic hot springs gold deposit with typical bonanza-type gold mineralization, at the end of 2012, the deposit contained 1.3 million ounces of indicated gold resources at an average grade of 15.64 grams per tonne and 0.7 million ounces of inferred gold resources at an average grade of 15.31 grams per tonne.
San Martin commenced reclamation and closure activities following the last full year of commercial production in 2007. In 2008, the San Martin mine camp was donated by Goldcorp to the San Martin Foundation.
Pueblo Viejo is located in the Dominican Republic, approximately 100 kilometres northwest of the capital city of Santo Domingo. Goldcorp holds a 40% interest, with the mine operator Barrick Gold Corporation owning the remaining interest. For 2013 the estimated gold production is between 330,000 and 435,000 ounces.
A 37.5% owned project, the Alumbrera mining operation is one of the world's largest and lowest-cost gold and copper operations. Since beginning operations in February 1998, Alumbrera has been an important operation during Goldcorp's growth.
The El Morro project represents Goldcorp's re-entry into Chile, one of the world's great metals-producing countries. Goldcorp holds 70% ownership and is the project's operator, with the remaining 30% held by New Gold.
Cerro Negro is an advanced-stage, high-grade vein system located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. Initial gold production is expected at the end of 2013, with annual production expected to average 525,000 ounces during its first five full years.

May 6, 2013My favorite of the trilogy so far, with a twist that no one will see coming, second only to the avengers itself. All comic book fans owe it to themselves to see this beautiful movie.

May 7, 2013An amazing action movie! Arguably the best in the series! The action was amazing and the acting was impeccable. The only mishaps were in the story itself. Some of it felt a bit rushed but overall, one of the best movies I have seen in a while
May 3, 2013
May 18, 2013Ok, you nerd fanboys need to just SHUT UP, I don't care if the direction they take annoys the hell out of you, its just summer fun with a darker tone and people need to release that
May 4, 2013Why is everybody hating on this movie?It has a great story,a interesting twist once you have thought about it for a while,amazing effects and an amazing final battle.

May 3, 2013Saw this last night at the 9pm showing (which wasn't very packed, but everything apparently decided to come to midnight, lol) Anyway, the movie was awesome. Not quite a good at the first, but definately better than the second. I enjoyed quite a few things of the movie some of them containing spoilers that I won't mention, so do yourself a favor and go see the movie
May 4, 2013Iron man 3 is a better than Iron man 1, which makes it definitely better than 2 Well wrapped up story, lots of good action, thrilling plot points, and weirdly funny! A great watch (if you are not a hardcore comic book fan, in which case brace yourself for some hartbreaking revelations)
May 5, 2013I loved it. Saw it opening night. Besides being a good Iron Man movie, it's also political/social commentary in a blockbusting suit neat stuff totally awesome sign of the times.
May 3, 2013It was just WOW!!!!!! I wasn't expecting to have so much fun. Great action, amazing soundtrack, special effects, extraordinary performances and great plot.
In my opinion Iron Man 3 is a must see movie and one of the best movies ever. -
May 5, 2013This movie was awesome! It had a different feel from all of the other iron mans but was by far the best in terms of suits. There are alot of references to avengers and other movies so make sure that you watch them all before seeing Iron man 3. I would say go see it in a heart beat.

Jun 4, 2013"Iron Man 3 is bold, daring, brilliant and easily the best adventure yet. Darker in tone and more prone to high-tech, this sequel is by far the most impressive Marvel film i have ever seen and possibly one of the best superhero films ever to be released." A-
May 26, 2013It' not a 10, but i give this vote because some gave 1 or 0. It's a good movie, RDJ is amazing. Probably nerd people will not like it because it's not so damn nerd like the comic version of Extremis Saga, but IMHO it's better. It's a movie, not a comic. People forgot that this film talks about Tony's trip, not about a beard man with 10 super ring and a sword (thanks Wikipedia).

May 3, 2013This is a great movie as good as or better than the original. Great humor, huge action, twists and turns. Rated too low by critics here. RottenTomatoe's score is more accurate. Excellent entry in the Marvel Universe. And who can resist the sight of all the suits at the climax? Not me. Just the way a summer movie season should start.

May 4, 2013is a spectacular film technically, and what is the best interpretation of Downey Jr, c does not have a giant hole in the script, it would be the best film of the series Iron Man
May 4, 2013This was a great movie it was really good The was tons of action, it had some funny moments and Robert Downey Jr did a great job acting wise as well as Gwyneth Paltrow Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce.

May 6, 2013The action scenes are good, story is interesting and the effects are amazing. But you can guess who is the real bad guy just from the start of the movie, and sometimes the tension is more in front pages. But, it is a great movie besides these.
May 10, 2013excellent in acting...action....comedy parts...story level little bit confusing but over all a complete entertainer.....first two iron man films does not have this level of action parts n comedy parts..........robert downey junior steals the show.... i love it
May 17, 2013This probably must be the best Marvel movie yet I liked every aspect of it and I think you should go watch it .
The only thing I didn't like was the music and that's why I'm giving it a 9 instead of a full 10. -
May 15, 2013Iron Man 3: Epic, Fun & Thrilling. A movie that every Marvel fan will keep in high esteem among themselves. A great first step on the verge of Phase 2.

Nov 11, 2013Iron Man 3 is a excellent movie. Its darker than previous movie. Robert Downey Jr. is as charismatic as ever. Special effects are higher than previous film.
Sep 10, 2013
Jun 26, 2013A sarcastically humorous action movie that starts out a bit slow, but does eventually pick up. They did not follow the books, but it was still a good family movie and the graphics I have to say, were not bad either.
May 31, 2013I would say that this is my favorite Iron Man movie. Yes, the twist pissed me off, but I'm still trying to get over it. I'm not a big fan of the mark 42 suit, but I feel like it fits very well into this movie. Please don't hate this movie because of the plot twist.
Jun 8, 2013This movie was awesome the best out of the series. It had a great story line and great action. The humor was also great I found myself laughing at everything. The best part though from my perspective) was the best. I love this movie I can't wait till it comes out on DVD so I can watch it when ever I want. U have to see it.
Jun 11, 2013
Jun 11, 2013Everything I want from a summer blockbuster: Drama, romance, comedy, craaaazy plot-twists, great performances...and action. Action galore. Probably my favorite Marvel film to date...even above The Avengers.
Jun 15, 2013
Jun 15, 2013Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes RDJ you never fail me. This movie was incredible....action packed.....funny and watchable oh yeh and a marvel movie. This movie got slack for its very unexpected twist which made me cry from laughter it's just sooo good to have an action movie that doesn't take everything so goddamn serious....DC

Sep 1, 2013Quite a few words: AWESOME, and one of the best iron man movies out of the three movies and if you count the avengers that would four. I would have posted this already but metacritic said i have to at least has to be 150 characters long
Oct 27, 2013the best iron man movie and also one of the best movies of the year...... every inches of the movie is enjoyable, breathtaking and thrilling. the twists in the story are awesome. i don't know why a few people don't like the movie!!!!!!!!!
Dec 21, 2013Almost perfect.Although I didn't like the ending, because it looks like there won't be Iron Man 4 :(
Otherwise it's a nice movie, with great cast and super, astonishing visual and sound effects.
Iron Man 3 builds on the first film's political cynicism by suggesting that politicians and arms dealers dream up foreign policy crises to consolidate power and make money, but it doesn't develop this notion in detail, because if it did, the audience would tune out.
The action, directed by Shane Black, ranges from passable to interminable. The plot goes from clang to bang. Downey Jr. is still the best thing about this series.
At least this time "Goopy" Paltrow gets to perform a few superheroics herself, along with enduring some heavy-duty torture that's bound to please her haters — for whom the sight of the top of her face being peeled off in "Contagion" was like Christmas in July.

This is the greatest movie I ever saw! It displays the true love a humanbeing has for helping others . If there were more people who showed such love and understanding as Ricky Bell did the world would a whole lot better.
This is a great movie!
This was one of the most wonderful movies i have ever seen. Please tell me some tv station or private individual has a copy of this fine work for sale. I hope this movie won't get lost in time as that would be a real shame. Michael Baldwin email@example.com

Pure and simple, quicker absorbtion thus quicket time to get into the gym and hit the weights!
Pills take around 20 minutes to dissolve, and then add another 10-20 minutes for the content to reach the blood stream and thus create a saturation...takes too long. I think the best explanation would be to let Celorza run MAN Body Octane ! Then he can prove a powder reaches the blood stream faster and more effectively.

Everybody knows that Powder > Pills because Body Octane is Top 3 best tasting in the biz, and pills skip the taste factor.

Powders are absorbed quicker into the blood stream than pills. This happens because powders do not have to wait to get to the stomach to get fully absorbed, it starts right when it hits the tounge. Being that NO helps vessel dialation (increase of blood flow to skeletal muscle), a quicker absorbing powder would be an awesome idea! Why wait 10-15 minutes to acheive a pump when it can happen in 5 minutes. Definitley would want to see the difference in results.
Kind of what I was going to go with.
Pills don't look as cool lying on a mirror with a razor blade...

Quicker absorption, better taste, more uptake, customizable dose if choosing to use other pump/pwo products.
Always wanted to try body octane but went with the jack3d micro IC release and have also been given a tub by usp so would love to compare (especially the addition of beta alanine) when I move to a 10x10 program.. Ba is extremely beneficial for high volume programs!
Plus the dosages in body octane r right on target for max results!

Pills can contain glues like gluten which some people are allergic too and have issues digesting, they also require 7 seconds to reach your stomach and another 20 minutes to digest if a gel capsule. Powder is easier to consume, digests sooner, can have less filler, and is an easier sell to the consumer. Considering a lot of people would rather not pop 5+ pills to get the dosage needed.

Official MAN Sports Forum Rep
Welcome to the Kingdom of MAN:
Powder is absorbed faster. Pills/Capsules/Tablets take much longer to digest. You have to digest the capsule or tablet before the product starts working. Some people even have trouble digesting certain capsules and get limited to zero effect from caps. I've had this problem myself with some products. The solution is to open the cap and just swallow the powder with some water or a drink. It will work faster and will likely be stronger with a more pronounced effect. Recently with a certain product that was made in some really strange type of capsule that couldn't be opened I would just crap it out!. Seriously I'd see the cap in the toilet after going to the bathroom. Well I never purchased that supplement again!. If you have problems with digestion you may even be more susceptible to this type of problem. It also depends on the type of cap, because I have had great results with a bunch of different caped supplements. This problem is highly individualized depending on the consumer, type of supplement, type of delivery system and specific capsule or tablet.

Middle Tennessee secures key 1-0 win at Clemson
September 16, 2005 · MT Media RelationsSophomore Holly Grogan scored the only goal of the match as Middle Tennessee stopped Clemson, 1-0, at Historic Riggs Field Friday. (MT)
Holly Grogan scored on an assist from Kaley Forrest in the 32nd minute and the tightfisted Blue Raider defense made it stand as Middle Tennessee stunned Clemson, 1-0, in front of 670 at Historic Riggs Field. The Tigers (4-2-1) entered the match ranked seventh in the Southeast Region and suffered their first home loss in four matches.
Middle Tennessee (5-2) equaled the best start in program history with the big road win and finally got over the hump against a team from a power conference (ACC) in soccer circles after playing admirably but suffering a pair of 2-0 losses against nationally-ranked Georgia and Vanderbilt.
"It feels like we just won a Cup Final," freshman defender Katie Daley said. "I think everyone stepped up their game and we worked well together. The communication was there and we put in a full 90 minutes of soccer. No one slacked and this was a team effort in every sense of the word."
The tightly contested battle was a draw until Forrest hit a long diagonal ball over the top of the static Clemson defense. Grogan timed her run to perfection and struck a sweet left foot shot across keeper Ashley Phillips, off the far post and into the net for what would prove to be the only score of the match.
"Kaley passed a nice ball over the top of the defense and I was able to push it through a couple of defenders and score," Grogan said. "This was by far my biggest goal at Middle Tennessee. This is an unbelievable feeling and it is going to do an amazing amount for our confidence."
Middle Tennessee's defense has not allowed more than two goals in a match this season and the unit has surrendered just seven in as many matches to date but the collective effort of the blue-clad defense was astounding against the Tigers. Middle Tennessee registered its third shutout of the season and senior keeper Danielle Perreault, who had seven saves against Clemson, has been in goal for each of them. Perreault continued her strong season with several key stops to curtail Tiger scoring attempts and keep her team in the lead.
"I would definitely say the collective effort of the defense was great," said junior Katy Rayburn, who was named Defensive Player of the Game. "Everybody did their job. We made some adjustments in practice this week and we carried out the plan. Getting this win means a lot because we played well against Georgia and Vanderbilt but we suffered close losses. Now we finally did it. It's a big win for us."
Middle Tennessee Head Coach Aston Rhoden said the biggest key to the win was the fact his team finally put together the best 90 minutes it has played all season - and it had to in order to secure victory.
"The good thing is the girls stuck to our game plan. They executed it and we got the result we expected," Rhoden said. "It was team defense. Our players worked really hard and this was a very deserving win for them."
Clemson coach Todd Bramble agreed with Rhoden's assessment.
"This was a good hard-fought match," Bramble said. "We had enough chances, but we could not put our shots away. Middle Tennessee is a well-coached team and I have a lot of respect for their coach, Aston Rhoden. They are well-organized and they played a good game."
There is little time for celebration as Middle Tennessee continues its tough trek with a home date against Conference USA foe Memphis at Blue Raider Field Sunday at 2 p.m. The field is located on MTSU Blvd., adjacent to the softball facility.
NOTES:Middle Tennessee's 5-2 record equals the best start in school history. The Blue Raiders also started 5-2 in 1999 ... The match against Clemson was Middle Tennessee's first against an opponent from the Atlantic Coast Conference ... Danielle Perreault's 34 saves this season give her 129 for her career. She's two stops behind Tory Martin (1996-97) for third on the all-time saves list ... Perreault's 15 career wins in goal are No. 3 on the all-time list ... The Middle Tennessee soccer team will be signing autographs beginning at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the Greenland Drive Parking Lot during tailgating activities for the football game against Akron ... The Blue Raiders will receive their Sun Belt Conference championship rings during an on-field ceremony after the first quarter of the football game ... Captains Ward and Wohlhueter will be halftime guests on the Blue Raider Radio Network Saturday.

The San Francisco 49ers head up to the Pacific Northwest this weekend to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football, and we can expect quite the loud atmosphere. Century Link Field has pushed itself as one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL, and fans will be going the extra mile on Sunday.
As we first discussed back in early July, a Seahawks fan group has submitted an application to the Guinness Book of World Records to try and set the record for the loudest crowd ever. A Turkish soccer match currently holds the record with a decibel level of 131.76. That's kind of loud.
The 49ers will need to figure out their play-calling and execution of the snap this week. We saw the team struggle at times in Week 1, and that was at home. The Seattle crowd will only make that more difficult. The team will need to figure out ways to get the play in quickly, have some kind of system in place if Kap is having any struggles hearing the calls, and of course, figure out how the 11 players of the offense will communicate effectively in the huddle.

Posted: 10:32 p.m. Wednesday, June 20, 2012
By Tony Thomas
An Atlanta homeowner got quite the shock when she opened her mail earlier this week and found a bill for $9,224.40 for apparent water usage in her northwest Atlantathree-bedroom cottage.
More than $6,000 of that was for last month alone.
Blayne Beacham lives alone and said there is no way she has used that much water.
"If I was using that much water, we'd just be in a sinkhole," Beacham told Channel 2's Tony Thomas.
Beacham has been battling Atlanta Watershed for months over what she believes are out-of-control bills, but they have never been anywhere near this amount.
"I don't do any outside watering. You know, five showers a week, two loads of laundry, one dishwasher run -- it's not $9,000 worth of water," she said.
Just two years ago, her bill for one month was $28. Beacham said she's had the lines checked three times by different companies, and no one has found a leak.
"It's more than all my other bills put together for three years," she said.
An Atlanta Watershed representative, Janet Ward, confirmed that the meter is working fine in front of Beacham's Ridgemore Road home.
Ward said the Department is trying to figure out what the problem is.
"Clearly not a leak, but her usage is very inconsistent," Ward said.
The city has installed what's called a data logger on the meter to determine hour-by-hour usage. But, Ward said the machine must be in place for 30 days, and its information won't be available for another month.
For Beacham, she's not sure what to do next and is not trusting that the data logger will prove anything.
"I think it's just buying them time so I will just give up or I will have to pay because it will just be too much time," Beacham said.

Who's to blame for Patriots' Super Bowl loss?
Globe Staff Photo / Stan Grossfeld
- Submit Your message to Patriots | On football Defense wasn't problem | Discuss
Tom Brady
If sports talk radio is any indication, Brady's play is the biggest lightning rod. Rather than preach, we'll give you the facts. Brady completed 16 consecutive passes spanning the second and third quarters, breaking a Super Bowl record held by Joe Montana. Brady was 27 of 41 overall for 276 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. That one pick came on a ball that was underthrown to an open Rob Gronkowski. Brady should probably also share some of the blame for a pass that was behind Wes Welker. In addition, intentional grounding on the first play of the game cost the Patriots a safety and two points.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has done away with her long locks in exchange for a much shorter 'do, which she proudly put on display while strolling through NYC.
"Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago," the starlet wrote on her Facebook page along with a photo of her pixie cut. "Feels incredible. I love it. I've wanted to do this for years and years; it's the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like it. Big love from Emma x."

Before I had my little girl I used to spend a lot of time making cards and scrapbooking, and was always on the look out for new tools that didn't cost the earth that made the more detailed parts of my hobby easier, for example cutting shapes! Although I don't get the same time now with a one year old to run after I do still devote a couple of evenings a month to making batches of cards and one of the tools that I last used that had actually got to the bottom of my craft box is this Fiskars Circles template. I had actually purchased a pack of these Fiskars templates that came with the necessary Fiskars shape cutter that allows you to cut out a perfect shape. ... Read the complete review

The Circles - 1 template is just one of a large range of templates from Fiskars which also includes squares, flowers, ovals, stars and hearts to name but a few. The templates are designed to be used with the Fiskars shapecutter (a handy little cutting tool that glides easily around the template) or as a tracing guide. The template is 28.0cm x 21.6cm, it is made of rigid orange translucent plastic with a thickness of 3mm. The left hand side of the template has been cleverly designed holes in it so it can be stored in 2 or 4 hole ring binder. The template sheet contains 7 different size circles; - 4.00" diameter - 3.50" ... Read the complete review

Fiskars make a huge range of fantastic templates that have completely transformed the way I scrapbook. The templates are available in many different designs including flowers, ovals, stars, hearts, rectangles, and baby-related shapes, and I have found them so very useful that I have now treated myself to most of the range! Following on from my review of the Fiskars squares templates a few days ago, I am now going to review the Fiskars circles template. I feel that once you have mastered the square template, the circle template is the one I would recommend to tackle next, in order of difficulty. It will present more challenges than the square template, yet it ... Read the complete review

About a month ago, I wrote here about my struggle to decide what to do after I found out that my pregnancy wasn't going to be viable. This morning, I went on New Hampshire Public Radio's Word of Mouth to talk about that decision, miscarriage in general, and some of the ways that this issue connects to larger discussions in the public realm.
Word of Mouth doesn't have embedding available, but you can go to their website and listen to the full interview. One of the key things that I got to talk about today that I didn't mention in my previous post is the way that anti-abortion laws have huge (presumably unintended) consequences for women who miscarry. Case in point: Fetal personhood. If you give a fetus all the rights of a living human from the moment of conception, how do you deal with the fact that some 50% of conceptions end in miscarriage? Today, if a living human being dies and we don't know why, there's an investigation into the nature of their death, to make sure it wasn't caused by foul play. Under some of these proposed laws, women like me would have to spend the incredibly painful weeks after a miscarriage attempting to prove that we didn't cause it. That gets doubly difficult when you consider the fact that, quite often, nobody knows why a specific woman miscarried. Around 50% of miscarriages are caused by random chromosomal mutations. But we have no idea why that happens (or why it happens to some women multiple times), and that also leaves a big, hard-to-diagnose group of women who would have no way of proving that they didn't cause their miscarriage.
In fact, being able to choose to have an abortion—to get a D&C procedure instead of waiting for the miscarriage to happen naturally—was actually what enabled me to know what caused my miscarriage. Having a D&C makes it easier for doctors to collect enough fetal tissue that they can run a genetic analysis on it. Last week, I got back the results of the chromosomal analysis performed on my fetus. Turns out, he had a mutation, Trisomy 16, that was completely incompatible with life. That trisomy is the most common genetic cause of miscarriage. It's also completely random. Basically, my miscarriage was bad luck. Knowing that makes me feel so much better. It's almost hard to describe the relief. And I owe that to an abortion.

Cyran0 says:
Maggie, I commend your courage in airing such a personal and heart-wrenching subject in public.
You are a credit to journalism.
Fang Xianfu says:
One of the things that's struck me during this pair of posts is that I know next to nothing about abortion. I understand the major arguments of the people for it and against it, but I have no understanding at all of the actual experience of being in those situations. Being male, it's questionable how much true empathy I can build, I suppose, but I still think that that's been one of the most valuable parts of this series. The only way we can empathise with one another is by sharing our experiences with each other.
So thank you so much for your bravery in talking about this, Maggie.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
I thought about writing about the actual procedure, Fang Xianfu. But I had it under general anesthesia, so all I can really tell you about is what it's like to get that administered and then the ridiculous things I said to the nursing staff as I was waking up afterwards.
Cyran0 says:
Don't feel embarrassed about things done or said coming out of anesthesia, I'm told I was even trying to help take out my own wisdom teeth, and other things said which will never be discussed again. ;P
Antinous / Moderator says:
I tried to pick up the anesthesia resident, which was particularly awkward since I worked there.
Mike The Bard says:
Maggie, I'm so sorry. My wife and I went through the same experience (not trisomy, but an unbalanced chromosomal translocation), and I know what a hard decision it is.
I was pro-choice before our experience, and infinitely more so afterwards- especially after sitting in a support group and hearing other people's stories. These were all people who desperately wanted a baby, and I think the very phrase "pro-choice" belittles the gravity of the decision. We made a decision based on what we thought was best for our child, not what was easiest for us.
Anyway, I sympathize, and thank you for sharing. I hope that your story helps more people understand exactly what it is that the abortion debate is actually about, beneath the partisan smoke screens, strawmen and rhetoric.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
Thank you for sharing, Mike. It sounds like you had an even harder decision to make than I did. I, too, hope this (stories like yours and like mine) ads some nuance to the debate. All my best to you and your wife.
ZikZak says:
Hm, what if the cause of the miscarriage is one of the other common ones: environmental toxins? Do we get to charge the polluters with performing an illegal abortion and/or murder? Or does it just default to blaming the woman as usual?
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
Environmental toxins actually aren't that common of a cause of miscarriage ZikZak. At least in humans. Our miscarriage rate is more likely to be a function of how evolution works than something caused externally. (At least, that's the general thought. Like I say, there's a woeful lack of research on miscarriage.) For instance, it's a translocation and a fusion of two chromosomes that is a big part of what makes our chromosomes different from those of chimpanzees. Humans have one chromosome that used to be two separate chromosomes (and still is in chimps and gorillas).
I really recommend reading Jon Cohen's book "Coming to Term". In it, one of the things he writes about is Love Canal, the disaster that's kind of the standard bearer of "toxins cause miscarriage". But, while the toxic spills at Love Canal were clearly a health problem, they weren't really something that caused an increased rate of miscarriage. The idea that they did was a combination of some really badly done epidemiology and the fact that, at the time, doctors thought the incidence of miscarriage was much lower than it actually is. The realization that the natural rate is around 50% is something we realized only after we stopped relying on hospital reports to calculate the rate.
ZikZak says:
didn't know that, thanks. I'd be surprised if no toxins had any effect, but it's good to know that they're not proven to be a common cause.
Erynn Schwellinger says:
More likely to cause defects and issues later on than miscarriage. Which would be a whole other crime.
Deb Johnson says:
You're incredibly brave to talk about it. It's tragic and sad when you lose a baby. My last chance at a baby was when I was 42 – we got to 12 weeks and the heart stopped beating. I then waited for the miscarriage. It was sad and tragic that I had to go in for a D+C – we decided after that that 2 girls was enough, and our time was done. I still wish I'd had another chance at being mum. I hope that you'll have another chance too. ((((hugs))))) and strong thoughts. Thanks for talking about a touchy subject.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
Deb, thank you for sharing your story. I know how hard that is. It makes me incredibly happy to create a space where people feel like they can talk about painful things they can't talk about most of the time. All the best to you and your family.
thunderhammer says:
I'm curious where that 50% of conceptions end in miscarriage stat comes from? I know there was a study, I think in the 80′s that found that something like 24% of pregnancies ended in a basically undetectable miscarriage before the woman missed a period – before the woman would normally even notice, basically (this was found by giving them pregnancy tests really early). Then there's the "background" miscarriage rate of roughly 10-12%. And then there's fertilized eggs that never implant or are rejected before any pregnancy hormones have a chance to kick in and as far as I know there's no way to measure how common that is…
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
It's based on a meta analysis of several different studies. And it's a rough estimate. I'm pulling this from Jon Cohen's book "Coming to Term" which looks at the science of miscarriage in really great detail. I recommend checking it out if you'd like to know more about how this is studied and what we do and don't know.
Dennis Abbeduto says:
I don't know if this is covered in the mentioned book, but I wonder if modern access to highly accurate at-home pregnancy testing figures in. I may be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that what some women think are simply late or missed periods are actually very early-term miscarriages.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
Yup. That's one part of why it feel like there are more miscarriages today than there are in the past. Because more women know sooner when they are pregnant.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
Actually, it's almost never a false positive. If you get a positive pregnancy test and then you aren't pregnant it was almost assuredly a very early miscarriage.
Faith says:
Maggie – thank you again for being so open and honest about your experiences. I understand why some have to hide and I don't blame them at all, but if we all talked about or even just told about our painful and harrowing experiences, perhaps they wouldn't be quite so harrowing (not to mention, perhaps men would stop passing laws against things they know nothing of.)
Joel Phillips says:
I'm not sure that this is a great argument against foetal personhood. It would be possible to establish a foetal personhood law that did not typically require great investigations into the cause of "death" – just as if some dies in a care home aged 90, there is typically no investigation beyond a doctor signing a death certificate.
Not saying that personhood is a good idea – I believe that it's a terrible one, but it's important not to use arguments against it which are easily defeated.
Thanks for being so public about this. I know lots of people who have miscarried and for most of them, they only realised how common it was when they began to confide in friends and family and discovered that they'd often had the same experience. In many cases, getting a sense of how normal and commonplace was really helpful.
Scott Slemmons says:
As far as I know, there have been no personhood laws that have taken that sort of approach. They've all had only one approach — declare every unborn baby, fetus, fertilized egg, to be a person, with all associated rights. You can't have that without having to do an investigation of every miscarriage. Maybe someday, the personhood advocates will put out a bill that addresses those concerns, but I don't think it'll be anytime soon. Their primary goals are to (A) ban all abortions and (B) punish women who have sex.
And thank you, Maggie, for sharing, and best of luck to you and your family.
Joel Phillips says:
Yeah, but my point was that 90 year-olds are persons and when they die, most of the time a doctor just signs a death certificate without any significant investigation. So even if foetuses were persons with all associated rights, there would be no need for their deaths to provoke an intrusive investigation in most cases.
For supporters of foetal personhood, this is an easy win, which makes them appear reasonable which, in turn, makes it easier for them to pretend that their primary goals are not banning all abortions and punishing non-procreative sex.
There are many much better arguments against personhood: it's unnecessary; it creates an unresolvable dichotomy between the rights of women and the rights of the foetus; it's biologically illiterate; it leads to policies that result in harm to women.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
I think the fact that they (so far) have not even considered this and/or are so poorly educated on women's reproductive systems that the connection hasn't occurred to them is an important thing to call out.
Worse, some of them have considered it, and have demonstrated quite emphatically that they do not give a shit about us. Georgia state representative Terry England defended a bill that would have banned any abortion procedure after 20 weeks. When someone pointed out that his bill would prevent women who had a stillbirth from removing dead fetuses from their bodies, England basically said that women should have to wait for their bodies to naturally expel those fetuses because that's what the animals on his farm do.
Saltine says:
I'm from the rural South, and I have lived in the Delta and in Appalachia, where pro-life sentiments are common. You should add to sheer mean-spiritedness willful ignorance. Many of the pro-life types I've met and talked to would greet ANY discussion of the biology of reproduction with some, generally scriptural, equivalent of fingers in ears and LA-LA-LA.
The ignorant part, but maybe not the willful part, goes for the college students I've taught who are pro-life. Many of them have no knowledge of the actual religious dogma of their own faith, of extreme statements by people like England, nor any beyond the dimmest understanding of reproductive biology.
I know I sound like an arrogant silent-P Rick, but this really is my experience of people on this issue. I keep listening, and my heart keeps getting broken by what hear. It's horrible that people want to control the lives of others on the basis of so little knowledge. But I guess that's how it always is.
I honestly believe than education has a slim chance of changing people, especially as education tends to introduce a little empathy too.
CH says:
"it creates an unresolvable dichotomy between the rights of women and the rights of the foetus; it's biologically illiterate; it leads to policies that result in harm to women."
Um… I don't think those points are in any way relevant for those who want legal personhood from the point of conception.I don't know about your country, but in my country anybody dying at home is getting an investigation, no matter what age. So, my guess for what would happen if foetuses were given personhood is that any woman miscarrying in a non-hospital setting would have to prove that they actually had a miscarriage and not an abortion (probably by having a doctor's examination).
But how do we know if a foetus needs protection if we don't know who is pregnant and who isn't? Perhaps there should be a monthly mandated pregnancy test? Oh, and of course a national register of women between menarch and menopause? Not to mention a list of "known miscarriers" so the Foetal Protection Agency can make crack downs on fertility clinics and take into custody the embryos.
That last bit is hyperbole… but… if foetuses had legal personhood, wouldn't a doctor transfering an embryo into the womb of a woman who has had several miscarriages and no live birth be on pretty shaky legal ground? And what about all the embryos who most probably aren't viable (not multiplying in an expected manner), and wouldn't currently be transfered? I guess they should all be transfered, too. Or at least get a decent burial!
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
YES. And that's another excellent point.
These people don't JUST want to take away your right to decide what to do when you don't want to be pregnant. They also want to control your choices when you have lost a pregnancy you wanted, AND when you can't get pregnant and want to be.
The biggest thing I want women to understand about this: Even if you want babies … craptons of babies … and don't think that elective abortion is okay, you should still be pro-choice. Because these people are out to get you, too. We stand together here.
l337n00b says:
I listened to the interview and read your post from before that I had missed. When you talk about fetal personhood laws that would leave women fighting to prove they didn't cause their own miscarriage it turns my stomach. When my wife had a miscarriage it was hard enough to convince her that it wasn't her fault, asking her to prove that to a legal system is a terrible way to compound a tragedy.
I loved that fetus and I still have a place in my heart for it years later. I am sad that it had such a short life and that it never got to experience the world and learn and grow. The idea of using that love as a weapon to persecute a woman who choose an abortion is horrifying. As if lawmakers and courts could possibly believe more in the personhood of that fetus than my wife and I did.
And a big thanks for talking about the Shittiest Secret Society. For many women miscarriages do carry a huge amount of self-blame and shame. Stats and facts are very helpful for some women, but not everyone responds to them. Destigmatizing miscarriage has to mean talking about it.
Dovanna says:
I think the majority of people who are absolutely against abortion don't understand how complex of an issue it is. Proper reproductive education is sorely lacking over here in the states.
What you've described in your most recent article is something I never knew- that you could have your fetal tissue tested to find out exactly why the miscarry happened. Schooling taught be about safe sex, but nothing about pregnancy complications and how common miscarries actually are (a stat I only learned of about in my twenties).
This is important information for women who choose to be childfree or reproduce, and I wish it would get more press.
Susanna King says:
Maggie, I had a situation very similar to yours, though it happened earlier in my pregnancy. In my case, the doctor determined at 10 weeks that I was going to miscarry – there was no heartbeat and the ultrasound confirmed her diagnosis.
I was given the option of a D&C or "letting nature take its course." Since I was planning on flying home for Christmas in a few days, I opted for the hospital procedure. It was a blessing to have that option available at that time. The hardest part was talking to people about it, but I learned that more women than I would have thought – women I'd known for years – had also had miscarriages. They just didn't talk about them.
My doctor told me we could start trying again a month later, and I got pregnant again right away. That time, I ended up with a healthy pregnancy, resulting in our son, who is now six.
Erynn Schwellinger says:
So many pregnancies end in miscarriage that probably over half the older women any of us know have had one – knowingly or otherwise. Many know. It's just never, ever mentioned. Because what can someone say?
tw1515tw says:
I know two people who have suffered a miscarriage. The first said a major problem was she was grieving, but other people didn't recognise she was grieving. When it happened to my friends, I sent them a condolences card, and later they were very appreciative of the (small) gesture.
So my condolences are with you Maggie, in this difficult time.
KvH says:
I'm curious about the 50% of conceptions being miscarriages statistic. I'd heard that a large number of conceptions don't ever implant and the woman wouldn't even know it had happened. Am I mis-remembering something? If not, is this scenario part of the miscarriage statistic?
Thank you for being so open and talking about this.
Maggie Koerth-Baker says:
So, it's complicated. Any number is a rough estimate. As I mentioned above, I'm getting this from reading Jon Cohen's excellent reporting on the several different large studies that have been done on miscarriage frequency.
My understanding:
>50-75% of conceptions end in miscarriage
>30-50% of implanted pregnancies end in miscarriage.The numbers drop significantly each week you're pregnant. It's really common to have a miscarriage in the first week of pregnancy (like my first miscarriage). It's much less common to have a miscarriage after you've detected a heartbeat … roughly after the 6th week, as in my second miscarriage.
CH says:
The first number should probably have a "or failed implantation" added to it. If I have understood correctly, the definition of miscarriage is a loss of an early pregnancy, which means that anything before implantation (pregnancy) is not counted as a miscarriage. Before that it is "just" implantation failure (BTDT).
Erynn Schwellinger says:
Pregnancy is considered to take place from conception, not implantation, though I never personally understood the logic in this. Hell, pregnancy calculations take place from the missed period – and the egg and sperm don't even have to have met at that stage in things.
AquaDad18 says:
Thank you for talking about this, Maggie. My wife had two miscarriages. One in the 90′s and one in the 2000′s. Gratefully, we have two healthy boys, 20 years old and 10 years old. But each miscarriage was devastating. I felt so helpless trying to console my wife. I can't even imagine what she was really feeling during that time. She could not express it to me and even if she tried, I was incapable of picking it up (being male and absolutely stupid in these matters). Counseling didn't help us at that time. Some of those statistics you shared might help. Maybe. I hope that talking about it openly, like you are doing here, will someday help minimize the unanswered "mysteries" and alleviate the shame and pain surrounding it.
Mister44 says:
May I ask what the little orange thing that says "time out" is for?
Susan Carley Oliver says:
Mister44, according to the photo's caption it is actually a tray prepared for a different procedure, one called a "bone marrow biopsy" (yep, they withdraw a bit of one's marrow to test for diseases of the blood). My guess is that the "time out" labels refer to points in the biopsy checklist that require the participants (physician, techs, even the patient sometimes) to take time out to verify important pieces of information like patient identification, type of procedure to be performed, location of procedure, etc. During a time out, all participants are supposed to literally stop what they are doing and give full attention to the questioner and to the answer.
chgoliz says:
I am glad that you have found some measure of peace in getting a factual answer about the cause, Maggie. Take care of yourself.
thisbikeisatardis says:
thank you again for continuing to share your story. best of luck to you and your husband next time.
deathisastar says:
Maggie – thank you for having the courage to address this very personal but common issue. You're doing a great service to women. And I'm a guy.
Heather Perry says:
Your posts are exactly in line with my feelings when I was faced with this decision last summer. At 8 weeks I discovered I had a blighted ovum, and was given the option of miscarrying naturally or having a D&C done. The D&C was absolutely the right choice for me, and freaked me out quite a bit afterward at the idea of the alternative – knowing I'd miscarry soon but waiting around for (possibly) several weeks for the inevitable to occur. The experience has made me even more pro-choice than I was pre-pregnancy. Thank you so much for writing so openly and honestly about your own experience.
imaginedpigeon says:
Thank you Maggie for sharing your story. All the implications of Fetal Personhood upset me, too. Someone very close to me has been trying to have a baby for the last year, and she has had two miscarriages that each had to end in D&C. It's heart wrenching. By Ohio law, doctors were required to offer her a death certificate, even though she was less than eight weeks along both times. It was like adding insult to injury even to be offered a death certificate. It's hard enough already. I know she reads BoingBoing and I hope that she's read these articles and that they have helped her in some way. Thank you again for sharing this very personal issue.
Kara Trott says:
I have been cautious to speak about these things as well, even though I feel strongly that women should always be offered a choice without shame. Thank you for showing us a way to speak out and share, in a way that we may not be totally attacked in doing so.
Nicky G says:
I find a few of the comments in this thread a little concerning, although I certainly acknowledge I may be misinterpreting some of what's being said. But let's not forget, pro-choice vs. anti-abortion is not women being pitted against conservative/religious men. MANY vehement anti-abortion folks are, guess what, conservative/religious women. I sometimes pick up on what I perceive, anyway, to be a hint of an anti-male undertone in abortion debates, which I think severely clouds the issue. Many men support pro-choice, and many women do not. And vice versa of course. I suppose that's obvious to anyone with a brain, but there are definitely times where I think that some folks might not realize this…
wysinwyg says:
There's good psychological and neurological evidence that human beings do not make moral decisions rationally but by relying on moral intuitions. That is to say, some people think about the abortion issue by thinking about a cute baby and saying to themselves "OMG, how could anyone murder such a precious, adorable little thing!"
The fact that most people don't actually think about moral issues but just feel them explains why we see that there is no opinion so stupid that we can't find someone who believes it.
I tend to think the men in question — and people making decisions about reproductive health laws are overwhelmingly men — don't care either emotionally or rationally. They're venal cynics who know that pushing emotional buttons gets them votes.
TL;DR: there are better targets for your "concern."
Origami_Isopod says:
Some women support the patriarchy. What else is new. But who benefits?
Krismom KStar says:
Maggie, I was only recently introduced to your articles, including the original entry on your D&C decicion… certainly a heart-wrenching one. Thank you for choosing to share it with everyone…
I know very well the sadness of miscarriage and the pain of any type of "abortion" (totally agree with some who have said this term is a strange to hear being used in a different way than what we've come to think of it as meaning… even being pro-choice, I hated hearing the doctors throw this term around when it referred to babies I had wanted so so much!). My partner & I lost 3 angel babies before finally being able to bring our healthy son to term – for my pregnancies, the abnormality may have been a progesterone defficiency.
I agree that much more needs to be done with breaking the silence surrounding pregnancy loss and I thank you for doing your part. It takes a lot of courage to share this story…
stay78 says:
I want to thank you for being so brave and sharing your experience. I am very sorry for you and your husband's loss. However, I am extremely grateful you've decided to speak out about your experience thereby comforting other men and women who've made the same difficult choice. I believe Abortion is NOT a debate about killing babies, but rather a debate about women's health. Thank you again for speaking out!
Doobie says:
I know at least 2 women who have experienced ectopic pregnancy – which is particularly scary (fetus implants itself in the fallopian tube, not the uterus). I keep wondering if people who are trying restrict access to abortion have had any experience with complications in pregnancy.
Thanks for your post.
Sidney18511 says:
Well according to the republicans that want to put fetal personhood laws into effect, a woman who has had a miscarriage, could be charged with murder. Her uterus would become a crime scene. Did you jump, drink, smoke, not eat properly? Did you stay up late, fight with your hubby, lift something heavy? In fact since woman don't know when they become pregnant, all girls at the start of menstruation will have to be monitored monthly, lest we allow something to happen to the new person growing inside. If a woman is n
Known for not taking good care of their health, well they will be locked up, watched, force fed, and monitored until the person is born. Doesn't anyone realize how crazy just the idea of personhood his? These teapots are nuts, and if they take over, well, we are screwed! -

I came across this post by chance, and in a weird way it's fitting. In 2003, I was pregnant for a second time by my son's father (my son is thirteen today). He was a meth addict and I became terrified/convinced that our "new" baby would have crack baby syndromes and things of that nature, so I chose to have an abortion (and believe me it's painful physically). I also, live in Minnesota.
After that decision my relationship with my son's father fell apart, mainly because of his drug/alcohol problems and we broke up. To this day he still believes I was lying about the pregnancy and that it wasn't his child (I wasn't with anyone else).
Today I'm happily engaged to the man of my dreams, my best friend, and we're getting married next June. The sad part is he was told he cannot have children because of his medications for a specified disease I'd rather not mention.
I used birth control for the first three months we were together, but I figured since he had been told he cannot have kids, I was safe…and then…nine months later…I got pregnant. That's where I am right now. I just hit seven weeks this week.
My decision to have an abortion next Friday is based on several reasons the first being how physically heavy I am. I weight 250 lbs. I refuse to have a pregnancy in this weight bracket (I had toxemia with my son and almost died).
The others are, my insurance is HORRIBLE. I work full-time and work for an insurance provider. You'd think I'd have good insurance. Nope! I'd have to pay for a c-section almost out of pocket (which I have to have a c-section because of my last birth), and with that being said — I can't afford that.
My final decision is that we aren't married yet and there's not a way we can move the wedding up, plus my fiance is still in college full time and can't financially contribute to our life right now. He does get disability monthly because of his disease, but that covers only the rent.
IF it were not so expensive to have a baby, I'd make other choices. Right now, I can barely afford to live/pay my student loans/take care of my one child…and after all, this was an unplanned pregnancy and we were told HE CAN'T HAVE KIDS.

It came out gorgeous! Thanks for the tips on how you with custom pieces. I have only done two so far and was scared to death they wouldn't like it when I was done. It worked out okay for both, but I didn't need all the added stress.
Just beautiful Susan! And I totally agree, I need to feel really comfortable with someone to take on a custom order!
oooh i love that buffet! it's gorgeous! love the colors!
Very nice job. I love the gold and the little gold accent w/the pen is a fab idea!
The dresser is beautiful! Love what colors you chose. By the way, I can't reply to your comments because you've got the "no reply" set up on your settings. Those who get comments sent to email can't respond to you. It's an easy fix, if you want
Looks great!!
Susan, the buffet looks beautiful. Great job again! I often visit, but found this on SSS.
