Hugs, butterflymomma. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Temping may or may not tell you anything. High temperatures would be a good sign that you've got good progesterone levels, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the baby is still alive. The fact that you haven't started bleeding is another sign that you still have reasonably high progesterone levels, and if you did begin to bleed, it would probably be correlated with a big drop in temperature, just as it would be in a regular period. Low temperatures, especially if coupled with bleeding, would be a sign of poor progesterone, which could be a sign that a miscarriage is coming, though some fluctuations in progesterone, and therefore temperatures, are common. That's actually one of the theories as to what causes morning sickness since it usually goes away when the placenta takes over progesterone production in the second trimester. Basically, temping could give you some hints but no answers. If it would help give you a little bit of a sense of control, go for it. If it would just cause you to stress out more (if that's possible right now!), you might be better off not temping. You know yourself best.
Charting to Avoid/ Fertility Awareness October - Page 2
I'd like to be on board with this thread :) I recently started charting after having my Mirena IUD removed. I'm still nursing my 15 month old (quite a bit!) and started taking Micronor. I'm charting to get more insight into what my body is doing while on the POP and to see when/if I'm ovulating, and at least have some idea of when I'm more "fertile" than others, despite being on the pill so additional precautions can be taken. Not ready to TTC anytime soon, although i will admit i already have baby fever!
You can certainly try, but hormonal contraception and charting tend not to be a great mix. The hormones in the pill give signs that are not related to your body's own hormones and can mask what your body is really doing. It could be an interesting experiment, though. Keep us posted on how it's going!

Thanks! It looks like I already had a temp dip and thermal shift, and my cervix "matched up" with the temps so far (HS with the temp dip, then immediately LFC after the thermal shift so I think I may have ovulated, but who knows. Maybe it's all out of whack. My CM has been masked this week so I haven't really been able to check it.
So it looks like my body is up to something, time will tell. I think this charting stuff is interesting and I like learning about it and trying to interpret charts, even if my own charts won't really be of much value. I also want to see if any of my fertility signs match up with my migraines.
here's my chart so far, I know it's not much, yet. I'll just keep going with it and see what it looks like. The spotting I had was due, I believe, to having the Mirena IUD taken out on day 1 of this cycle. (9/28/11)

Nattery, check out the wikis above, especially the ones on resources and types. This manual can be downloaded entirely from the internet for free (or a donation if you are able). Do note that it is from a very conservative Catholic perspective and has very traditional views on gender roles, etc. If that would bother you too much, choose something else, but if you don't mind, it is really an excellent resource full of details not given in other manuals for simplicity.
Also check out the other resources to see which ones you might be able to get on Kindle. Most people on this thread use Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, and you can also find her basic set of rules in the Fertility Awareness Wiki as a quick start. This is a simpler method if you like that better. I'm a details kind of gal, so I prefer the Kippley's book above. I do recommend getting a manual and reading it from cover to cover, though, to help you get a better understanding of everything and increase your effectiveness.
Thank you! downloaded the manual, read it, and read a manual I managed to download off Kindle (I'm a fast reader!)
Also... I am a silly girl who has NO experience with using mercury thermometers (that's not a bad thing!) but since it's the only kind of thermometer I could get in my area. I did some readings and was impressed with how they always were 37.2'C until I realized it always read that, even if I put it in my fridge. So I was discouraged and stopped taking temps till I could find a decent thermometer. Well after reading the manuals last night I realized you had to SHAKE the thermometer before each use ha ha ha.
So I am going to start taking temps again and I've gotten all excited to learn and get on with it! whoo hoo!
Thanks for the help!

Sorry to hear that you're going through this uncertainty Butterflymomma. I hope everything is ok!!
Here's my chart again:.http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/33d5d5. Bit mystified as I don't usually ever have spotting in my cycle, but have done the past two days, and i'm only on day 23 so it's really unlikely to be the start of my period. I have had no fertile quality CM since day 15 of my cycle (FF reckons I o'ed on Day 16), until yesterday and today when I have had watery egg-white CM. I know sometimes you can get a bit of EW right before your period but again, it's too early for that. What do you ladies reckon? Have been slightly risky (withdrawal method so not foolproof) so it's not impossible that it is implantation bleeding. I'm prob just being paranoid as i was last month!!

Thinking of you Butterflymomma. I meant to come back earlier but did not get a chance with family being here for Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you get good news. How amazing to get an ultrasound that early. I have never had one before 18 weeks other than when I had my m/c. I remember my next pregnancy being so scared waiting for that 12 week mark when I could hear the heartbeat with the doppler at the doctor's office. It meant so much to me hear that. I agree with the others, the waiting is so hard. I hope you will get to hear the most beautiful sound of your baby's heartbeat very soon.
Infojunkie, it's too early to tell. You would need at least 6 temps before ovulation to confirm ovulation. I would be surprised if you ovulated that soon after taking mirena out, and it would be uncommon to have fertile CM after ovulation, but it's possible. So, you said that you were taking some sort of pill right now? I'm not terribly familiar with all the different types of pills, but is it one that you take the exact same thing every day (usually progestin only), or is it one that you take it in a cycle that changes exactly what you're getting every week (usually combined pills). The former would be difficult but perhaps possible to chart if you are indeed ovulating (some women don't, but many do). The latter would make charting almost impossible because your body reacts to the changes in the hormones from the pill, and it looks like you're having a cycle and ovulating, but it is just the hormones from the pills. Even then, though, you can work at getting a handle on charting if you like, getting used to checking your signs and "interpreting" what they would mean. "Cycles" from combined pills taken in a 4 week cycle usually imitate a classic 28 day cycle, but ovulation is unlikely on CD 14. When ovulation does occur on the combined pills, it usually happens during the hormone-free week.
Nattery, I'm glad you're getting some good resources. Let us know if you have any questions. That's funny about the mercury thermometer. Yes, they keep the highest temperature that they detect, and 37.2 C is slightly above normal (Your waking temps are usually slightly below normal.), so you must have never had any temps higher than that unless you had a fever. Good luck charting. It's nice to actually be in the game.
Devaya, only time will tell for sure. Your temp took a dip yesterday. Did it come back up today, or did it drop more? I would guess that a temp drop associated with bleeding at this point in the cycle would be a sign of lower progesterone rather than implantation bleeding, but bleeding a week after ovulation could be implantation bleeding as well. Keep us posted.
Butterflymomma, let's hope that no news is good news. It means you're not bleeding.

JMJ, I see what you mean. I am on Micronor, the progestin only pill. At the very least, charting will get me some practice with knowing the range of my fertility symptoms. I'm probably anovulatory, but I'll just keep going and see what happens.

When ovulation does occur on the combined pills, it usually happens during the hormone-free week.
Infojunkie, you might see something if you are ovulating, but even if you are ovulating, you'd likely have pretty confusing cycles. On progestin-only pills, most people do ovulate some of the time, but not necessarily every month. Some women are very regular with ovulation while on the progestin-only pills. Many others are quite irregular. The progestin (synthetic progesterone) will act like progesterone in your system, which has the effect of thickening cervical mucus, elevating your temperature, and inhibiting bleeding. Therefore, your cervical mucus will seem to be less fertile all the time (This is one of the contraceptive mechanisms of the pill.), your temperatures may more often be higher than they would have been if you were charting without the pill (though you'd have a hard time telling this since women vary in their temperatures), you may have a more difficult time seeing your temperature shift since it is the result of a surge of progesterone and you already have progestin in your system, and your period may be lighter than normal and appear to be only spotting, or it may be nonexistant. Spotting or bleeding is very likely a sign that you are ovulating, so I would treat bleeding of any kind as the start of a new cycle, and then we can go back and try to deconstruct what happened in the cycle before, but until we have a few cycles of history (if indeed we are able to get that), we won't be able to be sure about any of the symptoms as they are in progress.
I think it will be an interesting learning experience for all of us to get a chance to see your charts to understand more about how fertility can work with or against a progestin-only pill. Thanks for joining us, and do keep us updated!

Eirual, congratulations to you too!
JMJ, thanks for the input. My temp today is same as yesterday (so that's nine days past ovulation that temps are above cover line) and yes, it's too early to tell anything but the spotting is continuing - 4th day now. Hhmm. We'll see. Maybe it'll turn out to be a really early period or something - also unheard of for me.

still have baby fever. lol. congrats to the expecting mommas!
looks like i o'ed this weekend. a whole week early. if i hadnt been charting my vaginal sensations i wouldnt have known and we would have had an oops. i was going to tell dh how i knew and i got a big surprise. he doesnt care. flat out doesnt want to know anything about anything. doesnt want to look at my chart, doesnt want to know how i knew i o'ed early. and then said no more kids. fine whatever. glad to finally have an answer about that. but why cant he then help me with the avoiding? which is what i was talking him about anyway. apparently the full weight of birth control is on me. here i am into day 3 of my lp and i am already mad. this is gonna be a long 10 to 14 days.
Devaya, if timing was right, it is possible that this is implantation bleeding. Is it red or brown? Implantation bleeding is usually bright red for a day or 2 and then brown. Red blood is fresh, and an embryo doesn't dig for 4 days. Regardless, though, you've got signs of low progesterone. It's normal to have post-ovulation temperatures .4 F (.2 C) over the highest of the lower temperatures, not hovering around the cover line, and it is progesterone that both raises your temperature and maintains your uterine lining through the end of your luteal phase. Spotting that matches up with a LP temperature drop generally indicates that you have inadequate progesterone (not necessarily that it's not enough to end up pregnant, but certainly not optimal amounts), and that's really what this looks like to me. It doesn't mean you're not pregnant, but I would guess that this is a sign of a luteal phase defect rather than a sign of pregnancy. If this never happens to you, I wouldn't worry to much (nor would I worry if you are breastfeeding). The progesterone is controlled by the corpus luteum, the empty egg sac after ovulation, and if something didn't go exactly perfectly with your ovulation this time around, it is quite possible to have a random abnormality that causes a luteal phase defect one time. If you start making a pattern of it, you may want to look into it. Consider checking out Marilyn Shannon's Fertility Cycles and Nutrition if you continue to have a problem.
LionessMom, that's awesome that you were checking CM and were able to know that you were ovulating early! That's really exciting, especially considering how new charting (especially CM) is for you. Sorry to hear that your DH wasn't as excited as you, but we'll share your joy here. I know, it's really not much of a consolation, but I think it's amazing that your body threw you a curve ball so early in your charting experience, and you knew exactly what to do with it! A lot of men (and women) take a long time to warm up to the idea of charting fertility (though the women tend just not to chart if they don't like the idea). One of the awesome things about charting is that it can involve both partners, but as it plays out, it's often not that way. I hope you don't stay mad at him too long. It's a shame to waste a great luteal phase!

Thanks, JMJ - really helpful info. Did some more research online on fertility forums etc and it seems that the implantation bleeding can vary anything from one day to several days. The spotting slowed down yesterday to nothing by evening, then this morning came back. It started off as just pink-streaked CM and brown on toilet paper when wiping, but has varied between pink and brown throughout. No cramping or anything. Today my temp went up again, to 36.32, but as you say that might not be significant as it's still sort of hovering around the coverline. I guess I was just getting worried that there might be a pelvic infection or something else ominous going on, if I'm not pregnant, so it's good to know that it can also be just a LP defect that happens occasionally. I will of course go to the doctor if it continues to be a problem. And the timing was exactly right for it to be implantation bleeding - it started 5 days after ovulation and on O.D. and three days after there were pregnancy risks although fairly minimal. I know at least one baby conceived using withdrawal method though, so not
LionessMom, I agree with JMJ - it's exciting to learn these things about yourself, I'm finding the whole process fascinating... and great when your partner can share that with you, but tricky when they don't see the need to feel involved. I hope you can work something out, or alternatively feel more able to just enjoy it for yourself.

Five Ways Charter is Driving Cruising Cat Design
by Meredith Laitos, Posted December 12, 2013If you want to know what's happening in cruising catamaran design, just take a stroll down the docks of a charter company. Especially in those warm, shallow-water areas that appeal to big groups—and where catamarans abound—you'll be sure to find a fleet that's constantly evolving as it adapts to trends in customer preferences, whether it be boats that are bigger, faster, prettier, cooler or all of the above. Here are some of the current trends driving the market.
Walking The Prop
by Tor Pinney, Posted December 10, 2013Prop walk, the tendency of a turning propeller to push a boat's stern sideways, can be a real nuisance when maneuvering under power. Or it can be your biggest ally. The trick is to understand it, anticipate it, and make it work for you.
Brazil's Costa Verde
by Gordon Moon, Posted December 10, 2013They arrive around mid-morning. A solitary motorboat cruises in, then two, then a dozen. Soon there is a steady line approaching over the horizon. They anchor stern-to along the beach, rafted up three, four and five rows deep. Soon the music starts, a jumble of competing rhythms.
Twelve Top Bluewater Cruising Boats
by Peter Nielsen, Posted December 9, 2013Have you ever wondered what brands and models are the most popular bluewater cruising boats? So have we, so we plundered the archives of the World Cruising Club to see which boats have featured most prominently in the last five years of the rallies that the WCC organizes—the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) from the Canary Islands to St Lucia; the Caribbean 1500 from Portsmouth, Virginia to Tortola, BVI; the ARC Europe, from Tortola and Portsmouth to Portugal via Bermuda and the Azores; and the World ARC, a biennial circumnavigation.
The Beach Cat Culture Continues to Evolve
by Lauren Saalmuller, Posted December 6, 2013Although multihulls have been around for thousands of years, the beach cat is a relatively new invention—the brainchild of a generation of sailors, surfers and Navy vets all taking advantage of the new boatbuilding materials that became widely available in the wake of World War II.

CuChanu 5pts It's not in water... they have somebody holding it...it's not sitting on top of another ladder...they are only 6ft above ground... You could be right, maybe it's made of paper or something and break forgot to note that...or they are lazy.
sbbq 5pts I think break thought it was 2 ladders leaning together, but they are clearly connected and lock in the position, or maybe the ladder is made of paper.

Voters Divided Over Romney's "47 Percent" Comments
Mitt Romney's offhanded comment that as a candidate he doesn't worry about the 47 percent of Americans who pay no income taxes has quickly entered the bloodstream in the presidential campaign's most hard-fought states.
His comment, in a video revealed this week, is prompting expressions of shock — but also shrugs — from Nevada to Florida to New Hampshire and the handful of battleground states in between.
Will it sway an election expected to be close?
There was much discussion in the relatively few states that are still considered competitive, likely to decide the race. Here, as elsewhere, the question was whether Romney was showing himself to be insensitive or merely delivering the hard truth a nation at an economic crossroads must face.

Great article. I wish more people visited your site and used the name of your site in their daily activities.
Even though Romney is trying desperately to suppress it with some willing accomplices in the media, people are finding out more about Mitt Romney. Christians and Catholics especially. Romneycare provided for abortifacients. You do not have to vote for him.
What Romney actually said was that he doesn't worry about getting the votes of people that he definitely won't win over. This isn't exactly a controversial statement to make.
Elsewhere in his speech he also said that folks who don't pay taxes (which means Republicans as well as Democrats) won't be swayed by offers for tax breaks. Again, that's not a crazy statement.
The media smushed those two statements together and mixed them into something that is far different from what Romney actually said. They created a dumb statement and then raked Romney over the coals for it.
I just wish Reason would stop promoting the misreporting.
mepton is right. I dislike Romney as much as the next guy and will not be voting for him (or Obama), but he didn't say he doesn't worry about the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay taxes. Most of the media is reporting this and apparently Reason has no problem promoting that fallacy.
What Romney is wrong about in his statement is that he thinks he can't win over that 47% and won't be focusing on persuading that block of voters to vote for him. That's just plain boneheaded. He's lumping together all people who don't pay taxes with those who are the "takers" and won't ever vote for him. Your level of dependence on government doesn't necessarily correlate with you wanting to be dependent, which doesn't necessarily correlate with whether you pay taxes or not, which in turn doesn't necessarily correlate with your view of government's role and who you're going to vote for.
He's correct that people who don't pay taxes will probably not be swayed very much by tax breaks, but there are other issues (size of government, civil rights, foreign policy, etc.) that they can be swayed on.
A better statement would have been that there is a certain percentage of Obama voters who will never vote for him because of their views on government's role in society, and that he won't be focusing on persuading that block of voters.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bowman would be formidable
Prominent lawyer, philanthropist considers running for mayor in 2014
That sound you just heard was the unofficial starter's pistol for the 2014 Winnipeg mayoral race.
Winnipeg lawyer Brian Bowman, long sought-after as a political candidate, confirmed he is now very close to entering the race to be Winnipeg's next mayor. Bowman said he needs more time to talk to potential supporters before making a final decision, sometime early in the New Year.
Still, Bowman's decision to show his hand adds excitement to a civic election that already has the potential to be the most interesting in a decade.
A nationally recognized expert in privacy law, and a prominent philanthropist and business lobbyist, Bowman is a Progressive Conservative by association. He is also young (42), telegenic and despite his lack of experience, seems to be a natural at retail politics.
Not surprisingly, Bowman is already positioning himself as the "big tent" candidate. "The people I've been talking to about this are from across the spectrum," Bowman said. "I don't see this city through the lens of any one political perspective."
-- Brian Bowman
What makes Bowman an interesting potential challenger is the fact that, unlike so many other contenders, he is not basing his final decision on whether incumbent Mayor Sam Katz decides to run for a fourth mandate.
Katz has been incredibly aloof when asked about his political future. He has, at one time or another, strongly suggested he is both running and not running. Many believe he won't make a final decision until the release of two audits of city real estate transactions, expected this fall. The audits could turn up the heat on a mayor already criticized for allowing his developer friends undue influence at city hall.
Bowman, for one, said he will not make his final decision based on whether any other particular candidate is in the race. "I'm not feeling any pressure to make a decision too soon. And I'm not going to be basing my decision on who's in and who's out."
Right now, Bowman is arguably the most intriguing of the viable candidates who are dipping their toes in the mayoral pond.
Former city councillor Gord Steeves, back practising law after losing a bid to win a seat in the last provincial election for the Progressive Conservatives, has been threatening a mayoral run. A notorious tease when it comes to his political future, Steeve's candidacy is likely dependent on Katz retiring.
The same holds true for Coun. Scott Fielding, a business- and Tory-friendly politician. Coun. Paula Havixbeck is also considered at this point a serious threat to enter the race. Dropped from Katz's powerful executive policy committee, Havixbeck has become one of the mayor's most vocal critics. Paul Jordan, chief operating officer for the Forks Renewal Corp., also declared an interest in the mayor's office, although little has been heard from him after his name was outed in June.
Even against one or more of these candidates, Bowman would likely be a formidable opponent. Especially if he is able, as he has promised to do, build a broad coalition of support.
Now, it's not unusual for a candidate to sing the praises of a big-tent coalition. Jordan mentioned the same thing when he discussed his bid. The harsh reality is big-tent campaigns are rare, and that's because they're tough to construct and sustain.
In 2010, it appeared there might be a legitimate big-tent campaign to challenge Katz. The Winnipeg Citizen's Coalition, a group that claimed to have support across the political spectrum, tried to recruit a candidate with broad, non-partisan appeal. Unfortunately, those plans were undone by, not surprisingly, old partisan allegiances.
The coalition pursued a number of challengers but those plans fell apart when former NDP MP and provincial cabinet minister Judy Wasylycia-Leis jumped into the race. As a lioness of the party, New Democrats felt more or less obligated to support her, or at least not work actively for another candidate.
Wasylycia-Leis did her best to keep the big-tent dream alive; Sen. Sharon Carstairs, a former provincial Liberal leader, co-chaired her campaign. Unfortunately, as the campaign unfolded, Wasylycia-Leis shut out everyone but a cadre of longtime New Democrat advisers.
On election day, she finished a respectable but distant second and Katz collected more votes than ever before.
There will be no concerted, organized effort to recruit and promote a big-tent candidate. Even so, the right candidate could still curry support across party lines and build a coalition of support that would materialize on election day.
Unfortunately, that creates a problem for Bowman and others who are still contemplating the possibilities. There is only a year left until Winnipeggers go to the polls to elect or re-elect a mayor.
And the unofficial starter's pistol has already sounded.

Water Erosion
Water is the most important erosional agent and erodes most commonly as running water in streams. However, water in all its forms is erosional. Raindrops (especially in dry environments) create splash erosion that moves tiny particles of soil. Water collecting on the surface of the soil collects as it moves towards tiny rivulets and streams and creates sheet erosion.
In streams, water is a very powerful erosional agent. The faster water moves in streams the larger objects it can pick up and transport. This is known as critical erosion velocity. Fine sand can be moved by streams flowing as slowly as three-quarters of a mile per hour.
Streams erode their banks in three different ways: 1) the hydraulic action of the water itself moves the sediments, 2) water acts to corrode sediments by removing ions and dissolving them, and 3) particles in the water strike bedrock and erode it.
The water of streams can erode in three different places: 1) lateral erosion erodes the sediment on the sides of the stream channel, 2) down cutting erodes the stream bed deeper, and 3) headward erosion erodes the channel upslope.
Wind Erosion
Erosion by wind is known as aeolian (or eolian) erosion (named after Aeolus, the Greek god of winds) and occurs almost always in deserts. Aeolian erosion of sand in the desert is partially responsible for the formation of sand dunes. The power of the wind erodes rock and sand.
Ice Erosion
The erosive power of moving ice is actually a bit greater than the power of water but since water is much more common, it is responsible for a greater amount of erosion on the earth's surface.
Glaciers can perform to erosive functions - they pluck and abrade. Plucking takes place by water entering cracks under the glacier, freezing, and breaking off pieces of rock that are then transported by the glacier. Abrasion cuts into the rock under the glacier, scooping rock up like a bulldozer and smoothing and polishing the rock surface.
Wave Erosion
Waves in oceans and other large bodies of water produce coastal erosion. The power of oceanic waves is awesome, large storm waves can produce 2000 pounds of pressure per square foot. The pure energy of waves along with the chemical content of the water is what erodes the rock of the coastline. Erosion of sand is much easier for the waves and sometimes, there's an annual cycle where sand is removed from a beach during one season, only to be returned by waves in another.

Help Harold Smith-Franzen (@smithfranzen) with their trip plan: Going to Greece
Thinking of escaping to Greece with some friends next summer. Mykonos and Santorini are on the short list but I fear the crowds in both. How overrun are these islands with tourists in early June? How essential is it to have your own oasis (e.g., villa or nice hotel) if you want to find a slice of tranquility?
From the trip, Going to Greece
A great spot if you don't want to deal with the crowds. :) Also fairly new, the service is good and it's still off the radar.
Hi Harold,
I love both of these islands so much!! Both islands are LGBT friendly so they are great choices. Travel to either of them is really good until about the 3rd week of June then they start to get overrun by tourists, so maybe avoid after that. In Mykonos if you want a quiet but sophisticated atmosphere Ornos is perfection! You actually get a feel for Greece in this exquisite little town, full of upscale Greek designers, traditional tavernas,modern bars and restaurants. There are only about 40 cars on the entire island so there are upscale motor coaches that transfer tourists to Mykonos Town virtually round the clock. It sounds a bit hokey but I promise it's easy and everybody does it. :) The town of Agios Ioannis is next to Ornos and is filled with beautiful hotels, as well. Here is a link to my Mykonos Guide http://www.gogobot.com/kat-von-b-travelinggreek-jet-set-mykonos-your-personal
One of the best hotel stays I have ever had. This hotel actually caters to upscale Greeks and the service reflects that. My family of 20 is still talking about how wonderful it was. Gorgeous!

Cowboy Park: Steer-Roping Contests on the BorderA century ago, when Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona outlawed steer roping contests, there was one place a southwestern roper could go to hone his skills: Cowboy Park, the arena established in 1907 in Ciudad Ju�rez, Mexico, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. During the formative years of rodeo that preceded the first Calgary Stampede in 1912, Cowboy Park promoted the sport of steer roping and provided a ready training ground for up-and-coming champions. From its inception until growing political turmoil in Mexico brought the enterprise to a halt, Cowboy Park kept the sport alive and fostered celebrity�its �alumni� swept the first prizes in Calgary and continued to dominate for some years. This unique institution, despite its significant influence on the future of rodeo, has until now received scant attention. Through the history he has recovered and photographs�many published here for the first time�John Baxter documents and illuminates the era of Cowboy Park and the early champions who won their spurs there. �Rodeo fans will find some familiar names . . . and places here�Guy Weadick, Zack and Lucille Mulhall, Bill Pickett, Will Rogers, Fog Horn Clancy, Guy Allen, Dan Patch, and Calgary, Pendleton, and Cheyenne. But most of the names will be unfamiliar, all but forgotten in the annals of early rodeo. [Baxter�s] penetrating and original research is underpinned by the use of nearly fifty different newspapers from around the country.� �Richard W. Slatta, from the foreword |

By the same producers of the famed "Sassicaia", the grapes are grown in a vineyard on lands adjacent to the Sassicaia vineyard. The grape varieties are approximately 45% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvingnon and 10% Sangiovese. The grapes are vinified in a new cellar created especially by the Tenuta San Guido in the locality known as 'Vecchio Frantoio" (Old Olive Press) not far from the town of Bolgheri.
The 2005 vintage was fermented in steel vats at controlled temperatures with a maceration period of 15 days for the the Merlot and the Cabernet Sauvignon and 12 days for the Sangiovese. The wine was then aged in French and American oak barriques for 14 months, one-third of the barriques being new ones.
"Wonderful aromas of crushed blackberry and cherry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Needs time to develop in the bottle, but hard not to drink now. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Best after 2009." -Wine Spectator
The Tenuta San Guido is a 7,500-acre estate located in the province of Livorno on the western coastal outskirts of Tuscany near the village of Bolgheri. Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta acquired it through his marriage to Clarice della Gherardesca in 1940. The legacy of Sassicaia began in 1944, when Mario Incisa acquired a number of Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc vine...Read More About Tenuta San Guido

This page provides a brief summary current consultations being conducted in support of the Single European Sky (SES)
The provisions of the high level SES legislation are elaborated in detailed Implementing Rules (IRs). The Commission may draft IRs or call upon Eurocontrol for assistance.
The Commission process for consultation is generally through initial informal discussions with the Industry Consultation Board (ICB), experts (e.g. EASA and Eurocontrol) and Member States, followed by formal Single Sky Committee (SSC) workshops. When the proposals are sufficiently mature they are presented to the formal SSC for discussion and then adoption.
Where Eurocontrol are called upon to draft IRs the Eurocontrol Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ENPRM) procedure is used for consultation. This sets out a formal process, which is open to all to stakeholders to respond.
Below are details of current/recent SES consultations on proposed regulations.

Queens 2013I am sorry, but due to a hard winter and my rebuilding from being out of the country, moving, working full time and my speaking schedule, I will not have queens this year.About My QueensI've been catching feral swarms for 39 years, but I got serious about keeping the genetics only recently. These feral survivors are the basis of the genetics of the bees I keep now. I started offering them for sale in 2004. Some queens come out black, some are Tiger Striped and a few are Gold.
