The Undying -- Series (On hold)
Immortal love of the mortals. A short story series.
Munazza Bangash is a story writer, mainly short ones, but currently in the middle of writing a full-length novel in the genre of Romance/Psychology. Her first novel, which was a fan fiction written only for practice, gained her more than 100,000 readers. When she isn't glued to the computer screen, she's usually singing, dancing, painting her face with makeup, or studying Psychology. Playing badminton or having a laugh with little kids. Being the worst cook and fashion designer, or maybe trying very hard not to gain more weight!

5 Reasons to WriteI wrote a blog once that urged comic artists to try writing their own books. I held back a bit on what I said--Punk Rock Jesus hadn't come out yet, so I didn't feel like I had the proper authority to really speak up.Since then, there's been a lot more discussion about the etiquette of publishers toward their freelancers, the recent rise of creator owned books, and the effects of Hollywood moving into comics (or vice versa). And as friend of mine at Newsarama pointed out recently, I'm one of a few guys who's found a middle ground--not only because I'm writing and drawing my own book, but because my OGN is partially owned by DC Comics.Certain events of the last year have created new concerns within our industry. Do you still need to work for big publishers if you want to "make it"? Do they deliver a better product than creator owned books? Are the Big Two treating creators as fairly as they've always been? Between the rise of digital comics and comic-based movies, are creators getting
no talent this is my final say in the argument against natural born talent vs skill. we all start out by drawing scribbles that slightly resemble things. i was about 3 yrs old here., and had probably already been drawing for some time since i was brought up in a family of artists. drawing only gives back with the time we give to it, and it takes a lot of patience, more needed in the beginning, and a lot of determination to keep at it even though we are continually frustrated.hope this inspires some of you to keep going, or some of you to start, it will be even better if more of you, my dA friends, stop making excuses saying you werent born with the ability to make your dreams come true. the only thing holding you back is yourself. drawing is but a skill which we learn through lots of practice, determination, observation and patience. if you also have the undenied passion for it, you may see yourself getting further than others.it also helps if you're able to be ho
Exposure, Getting Better, & Having the ChopsEXPOSURE & GETTING BETTER AT WHAT YOU DOI'm only going off of my own personal experiences talking about these few things. (And I'm not specifically talking about ONLY dA here.) So take it with as many grains of salt as you can.I've recently been asked questions like "How do I get people to see my work?", "Why am I not receiving commission inquiries?", "Why isn't anyone following my work?", "What can I do to get better?". Often, and I answered it before, the answer is as simple as this:Create.Create, as in, DRAW. PAINT. RENDER. SCULPT. You have to do develop a tolerance (or the obvious definition: LOVE) for creating if you want exposure and to get better. You have to LOVE the drawing or illustration that you HATE how it came out in the end. You have to ask yourself after every piece, what could I have done to do that differently. And you have to do this frequently.Some folks come on the scene, post once or twice a week, and expect an audience to flock yo

This commercial isn't real...neither are society's standards of beautyThis absolutely hillarious video has been "infecting" the web for some time now (and I wanted to feature it sooner, but oh well, life and such). The first time I saw it, I was laughing so hard, because many of these things, I actually do in manips - sometimes not this quickly, but I do. And it is done daily for just about any magazine cover or vip photo shoot that you get to see! This is the true part about this video. And it's the sad part, too.Uncover the fake BeautyAs a photomanipulator, I am often amazed at what other non-photoshop (or any other graphics programme) users will accept as real without question. Especially younger ones will be influenced by this image they see day in day out and aspire to be like it. To be as fake and "perfect" as the cover girl. How can you achieve anything like that in real life? You can't. It's that simple.All that is left is Photoshop - the real one. You don't need a fancy plug-in to make all th

A (modern) history of dA emoticonsIntroAs you wander around deviantART pages, there is noticeably one art medium that invades almost every element of the site. Whether it is the deviantART galleries, journals, news section, comments, forums, chatrooms, avatars or even dA profiles, it is hard to find a spot that hasn't been infiltrated by a familiar set of small, coloured, pixel circles. The art form I am talking about is of course the emoticon and throughout the past 10 or so years they have been happily adopted by deviantART and its community.Although emoticons can often be spotted on a wide range of other instant messengers (IMs) and social media sites, deviantART has come to house a unique branch of these miniature art pieces. Whilst the majority of these alternative sites opt for simple, predominately yellow emotes with a range of basic expressions, the art community here at dA have stretched the art form far beyond its natural boundaries and developed entirely new styles of emoticons
a moment to talk about art and copying styleswell maybe i'll sound elitest, but ive always been a fan of the idea; draw how you draw, dont look too closely at others work and dont worry too much about finding your "style". it comes on its own but if you're looking at others work too closely to learn you're only learning somebody elses path in the road of art and not your own I did look at others work to get inspired as i started out, but mostly i looked at photographs while i worked, not art. i was given a bit of advice like 8 years ago, and ive always held it pretty high up on things to remember, and i share it often.when you're learning how to draw/paint, you should look at LIFE. figure study classes if you can, photos if you cannot. in other words, paint a river by sitting next to it, not by looking at another artists painting of it.EDIT: yes there is something to learn and digest with looking at others works. but when you start your own art, put down theirs!learning how to draw by looking at other peoples work ends in s
StudioJust wanted to give a little tour on my materials that I use to paint (or what I find works for me)*Liquin- Used to use mineral spirits, and linseed oil but I found how much linseed oil tends to turn all my colours yellow. Mineral spirits became too watered down many people asked if I painted with watercolours. Liquin and a bit of poppy seed oil makes a perfect mixture. (Almond oil is what I want to try in future)*Brushes- Round Synthetic mongoose. Flat square brushes was my fav back in the time but no longer.*Pallet- I buy a painting frame with glass for $8 then I put a white paper under the glass and use that to mix my paints. I used to own a little fridge where I would store my pallet over night (it never dries but your fridge will smell like oil)*Reference photos- I tape an ipad to my painting and I can zoom in, play music, photoshop and skype while I paint. Best invention ever !*Paints- I have upgraded to higher more expensive paints thanks to my gift cards (think of it as an

Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, Certified Massage Therapist
I fell madly in love with Ayurveda after I began learning about it for my own self-care from my yoga teacher Cary Twomey 2006. I found it to be the most complete, full, and beautiful system for understanding health – a way to really care for the whole person. I felt like I had been seeking it for years without exactly knowing what I was seeking, I was hooked from the beginning, and couldn't wait to help others using this amazing work.
I began formal Ayurvedic study in 2009 as a distance learning student at the California College of Ayurveda(CCA), a California state-approved college for the study of Ayurveda, which meets or exceeds the educational guidelines of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association. In March 2014, I completed the Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist internship, the highest level of training offered at CCA. I have also trained in Ayurvedic body therapies, Marma therapy (Ayurvedic acupressure) and am a certified massage therapist.
I have been an avid practitioner of yoga and meditation since 2002 and have done yoga teacher trainings at the Heartwood Institute, and later with Tias Little in Omaha, NE, as well as many workshops to deepen my practice. I taught yoga in a variety of settings for four years and currently teach workshops at special events around the Bay Area.
In my spare time, I love playing music alone and with friends, hiking, biking, and hanging out at home with my partner and our cat.

I promised you guest bloggers. And here's our first, Tesa Baum. A great way to start, by offering some help with the holidays and the craziness that we sometimes get into. Especially challenging for those of us in fertility treatment or sad that we are still without our babies.
Read beneath her blog post for her official bio and her beautiful picture.
Meanwhile, here are her thoughtful and very helpful suggestions for the holiday season.
~Lisa Rosenthal
Mindfulness is paying attention on purpose and non-judgmentally--in the present moment as if your life depended on it. Because it does, actually.
The Monkey Mind is a way to describe the agitated, easily distracted and incessantly moving behavior of ordinary human consciousness.
I have a confession. Even as a practitioner of holistic wellness and healing, I succumb to the monkey mind. I find that my mind is often wandering and thinking about my To Do List, going over my daily activities and plans for tomorrow, or replaying moments from the past. Yes, just like you, I find it is difficult for me to sustain focus, appreciate, and absorb the present moment, whether that moment feels pleasant or challenging.
Ironically, the Holiday Season, the time of year that gives us the most frequent and meaningful reasons to remain in the moment, is also the most favorable arena for The Monkey Mind to dominate our thinking. As our holiday season responsibilities escalate, we can become overwhelmed, sad, frustrated, lonely, scared and depressed, especially if we are feeling the loss of fertility, and so we struggle to attain balance. All bets are placed on The Monkey Mind.
This holiday season, together, let's shift the odds in favor of Mindfulness. Neither you nor I can simply stop thinking. But, by practicing a quick mindful meditation technique, we can become less attached to our thoughts and less swayed by every passing emotion.
What does this mean for grief, loss, sadness, and feelings of isolation during this holiday time? We don't want to feel trapped and consumed by these feelings. Unfortunately we begin to fear these feelings so much and then all we want to do is "move on". Mindfulness reminds us that pain and sorrow, like all else, is not permanent.
Does this mean that disturbing feelings will go away completely? And stay away? Of course not. But it does mean that they will change shape and form, they will ebb and flow, some days won't be great and some days you will start to smile. It means that our grief, like everything else, is only temporary. Once we accept this, even if only on a rational level, some of the need to avoid our grief starts to diminish. We can stop believing it is permanent, even when we feel it will last forever. Instead of battling your feelings, let them stay with you and treat them compassionately. Once you learn to stop looking at your negative feelings as a taboo, they can start to dissolve. Accept uncertainty and try to allow it to coexist with who you are. You will be pleasantly surprised how fleeting and impermanent these feelings can be. It takes a lot practice. Here's how you can start!
I am pretty sure that I am the first holistic healing practitioner to leverage WrestleMania terminology in a meditation technique! But, we all truly wrestle with this beast day in and day out. And, even though this technique doesn't require a lot of muscle, I want you to feel powerful in its defeat. Here are four simple steps to follow:
1. Find a quiet place and set a timer for 7 minutes.
2. Close your eyes, and establish a point of focus-your natural breath moving in and out.
3. When your mind wanders, don't be critical of yourself. Allow the thoughts to come and go and gently bring yourself back to your point of focus.
4. When we start to get really heavy and all we want to do is run away, that's when to simply say to the thoughts, "hello, I see you, welcome".
After completing this exercise, I feel extremely focused and I am able to really enjoy the moment. I am going to commit to this meditation practice each and every day during this holiday season. I hope that you commit too, both to practicing and to feeling more present.
In the New Year I will circle back on this topic and let you know the impact of my meditation. And, in the meantime, feel free to reach out to me and let me know your experience with this holiday survival tip.

Onto the blog for today, here at PathtoFertility.
It's Friday.
It's Halloween.
Traditionally a child-based holiday that involves tricks and treats.
There's the kicker of infertility, fertility treatment and trying to conceive.
There's sweetness in trying to have a baby. Anticipatory feelings of delight in seeing the line on the pregnancy test turn the right color, realizing that you are on your way to expanding your family, knowing the reaction of when you announce the news to your friends and family.
Maybe this is a moment you've waited for since you were very little or maybe it's been a relatively new realization that you would like to become a parent. Either way, there is often giddiness, excitement and a touch or more of apprehension about the dramatic changes that will occur in your life.
But you're ready. You want it. You arrange your life to accommodate this new, important life phase.
That's the treat. When it happens easily, it's a treat. You float on cloud nine. Or you're sick as a dog. Either way, you are on your way.
And here's the trick. Sometimes it does not work that way. Sometimes the anticipation turns scary, not even wanting to hope, for fear that the disappointment of not becoming pregnant, AGAIN, will flood your senses and emotions. Will devastate you, at least briefly.
I've been experiencing a lot of treats and lot of tricks lately through the women that I get to know through Ladies Night In and Fertile Yoga. Through many of you, through this blog.
Many successful pregnancies and babies. Absolutely heartwarming and affirming to see pictures, get to visit and see families blooming. I can't tell you how much it means to each of us here at RMACT to get the pictures of your babies when they are born and to be updated. We love it. I love it.
Tricks again though, are so very painful. There really needs to be a new word for infertility, pregnancy loss pain and ending fertility treatment. Painful just doesn't cover it. While we are not personally experiencing it, we do feel it. We feel your pain. Your loss.
We grieve with you.
The trick of having the struggle of infertility, making the decision to seek help, go through fertility testing and treatment and not having it work is, as I said, beyond words. Some of us accept it as part of our lives and are able to treat it one day at a time, without being pulled into the tidal waves.
Sometimes, it's just too much. Just one crushing disappointment too many.
How many people out there stop fertility treatment even if there is a possibility of being successful the next time? Through sheer exhaustion, physically, emotionally and even financially, there are those that say, "enough is enough".
Is there a treat at the door closing and another opening? Is it donor egg/sperm? Is it surrogacy? Is it fostering a child? Adoption? Is it choosing childfree living?
Is there a treat simply for making a decision, even if it's one that you in no way, ever wanted to make? Is that even a decision or just simply something you were forced into, had no choice at all about.
Today, whether you are enjoying the treats of fertility treatment or grieving the tricks, we are here for you. We care.
I care.
Please let us know how you are doing. We're going to explore all those questions that I've asked, together. You are not alone in this. That, I promise. That, I can guarantee. That is one treat upon which you can depend.
It's a short week this week.
There are many holidays that fall on Monday. Holidays that we celebrate.
Yesterday, Memorial Day, was a day where we honor rather than celebrate.
There were so many pictures, so many stories of our soldiers yesterday. I was touched, saddened, inspired and ultimately humbled, by so many of them.
The picture that I am sharing with you today is one that I took. Driving through Newtown recently, yes, Newtown CT, I detoured off the main road. I don't know why. It was a beautiful day and the lilacs were just starting to bloom and the daffodils were almost past their finest. And I came across a field of flags at a local church. I stopped. Of course I did. I closed my eyes and said a blessing. I felt the quiet in the spring day. I felt the honor and committment in the soldiers that the flags represented. And I share the picture with you here today. Because the picture was of our heroes.
There have been so many heroes in our past. Heroes that gave their lives because that's what soldiers do. Heroes that we know about. That are personal to us.
I read about soldiers that gave their lives from all different aspects of our lives; parents, children, friends, lovers. Personal stories that touched each and every one of us.
My Memorial Day story is a about a soldier who sat by his mother's side yesterday. Quietly holding watch as she is slipping away. He continues to be a soldier, putting aside his own fears and desires to do what he knows is the right thing to do.
Watching over his mother and helping her through the next phase of her life.
He's my hero.
Thank you to all the heroes out there. Thank you to all the families out there who have lost someone they loved; you are heroes too.
Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of my heroes. I know a lot of people out there admire him and even revere him; to me, he is a hero.
I list him on the top of my hero list.
He inspires me daily in the work that I do. Here are a few reasons why:
I work in and for a community that I love and have utmost respect for; the infertile community. I see daily how people are exhausted, ashamed, beaten down and humiliated by an infertility diagnosis. I see how they feel less than other people because of the often temporary inability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. I see how they (we) hide from the people we love and trust most; not sharing what we are going through or minimizing it.
Martin Luther King, Jr. probably had no idea or inkling that he would provide fertility inspiration; that he would inspire someone whose life goal is to support men and women through infertility. That's another reason that he is my hero; how far reaching his words and actions have been.
There were many times when Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke for his community; that is his legacy, his words and actions. That is who he was, a powerful spokesperson against deliberate and non-specific racism.
There have been many times where I have deliberated whether or not to speak; and then, what to say and how to say it. Martin Luther King, Jr. comes into my mind on occasions where there is something of importance that needs to be said, where being an advocate is more than listening in a loving way; where it means saying things that will be unpopular but are real. I think of him when I am speaking for my community. I think of him when a reader asks me what she can share with her mother who had four children, one after another and does not understand what she is going through. I think of him when I read research reports and sigh with relief that there is no causal link between fertility treatment and cancer. I think of him when I write about how it feels to be alone, reminding you that you are not alone.
He is a hero of mine. I'm not entirely sure how he would feel about my using him and his words and actions to support my community. Perhaps he wouldn't approve. Perhaps he would be upset about it.
One of the reasons that Martin Luther King, Jr. has withstood the test of time as a hero, nationally, internationally and in my heart? He has inspired me to grow from his efforts and, through that growth, I have learned how to effectively fight and support my community.
While he might not agree with my fight, nor support my cause, I have absolutely no doubt in my heart that he would respect my passion, commitment and actions to support this community that I love.
MLK Day, I will light a candle. I will say a prayer.
And I will say thank you.

Today is the day for intentions. And declarations. New Year's Resolutions.
We make huge statements on what we will do for the entire year.
Usually they have to do with things that we can barely do one day at a time or even, sometimes, one meal or hour at a time. Usually our intentions are about habits that we desperately want to change or think we should change or things we wish were different and that we would change if we could.
The crazy thing is that we think if we say it, especially out loud to enough people, that our declaration alone will be enough to change things. As if simply saying it will make it come true. The gyms are packed in January with people who have made New Year's resolutions. They are crowded in February. They are back to normal in March with the people who make a commitment to exercise every day, not for an entire year.
One thing I know about infertility and fertility treatment is that if being determined and focused were enough, board certified reproductive endocrinologists would be out of work.
Mark Leondires, Medical Director of Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT), talks about fertility treatment being a marathon, not a sprint. Luckily, that turns out not to be true, very often. At least in as much that so often, one can and does get pregnant on the first fertility treatment cycle. What he is referring to, of course, is that so often men and women are trying for quite some time before they ever walk into his office. Hence, marathon, not sprint. If you have been trying on your own for any amount of time, then you are already exhausted by the time you walk into his office. Maybe you feel like you've already run several races, as hard and fast as you possibly can.
The thing about a marathon is that just like a sprint, you have to do it one step at a time. In a sprint, you are moving much faster, usually with more effort. In a marathon, you know you will be out there for several hours, just for the race itself. There is no expectation that in fifteen or thirty minutes you will be finished. The training is a whole other issue though.
If I look at a new year's resolution as a marathon, in that I would like to accomplish my goal for one solid year (secretly hoping of course that I will have retrained myself not to do, or to do, something astonishing) and allow that each day I am in training, somehow that feels manageable. At least to me. Each day, I have to achieve my goal. Not for an entire year. Just for that one single day. That breaks my goal into the steps I would have to take to run that marathon. That gives the training needed.
I can't run a marathon tomorrow. But I do know that if I run today, let's say three tenths of a mile on my five mile walk, that I've started my marathon. Because then tomorrow I could run a half of a mile. And Friday, perhaps a bit more. And on Saturday, I might not run at all, because that's how training works. I know that with training, I could run a marathon in about five months. Barring injury, and not very fast, I could run a marathon in May or June.
And I know something else too. I will not be able to run a marathon without taking that smallest piece first. Three tents of a mile is about the distance between two telephone poles. Doesn't look a bit like the 26.2 miles that a marathon is, all big and glorious. In fact, three tenths of a mile looks a bit silly maybe. Still and all, it's where I would need to start. And without starting, there would be no marathon ever.
I like Dr. Leondires' analogy with the marathon. It allows us to break things down into smaller pieces, knowing that is how it has to work.
First step on your marathon to become pregnant - Ask yourself these questions: have you been trying for more than one year to become pregnant and you're under the age or 35? Or six months of trying over the age of 35?
Next - Understand that if you have been trying to become pregnant and have so far been unable to that there is help out there so that you can have the family you are dreaming of.
Finally – make an appointment! You do not have to do this alone. In fact, you may be unable to do this alone. So far, it has not worked. Get some help. See a board certified reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in helping conception along. Take the time and effort to succeed by having professionals guiding and supporting you each step of the way.
New Year's resolutions are a great idea. They are a great way to reflect your desires and dreams and announce them to the universe.
Then do the footwork, so to speak. Do those New Year resolutions, one piece at a time, each day.
We are here to help. Please let us.
It's the last day of the year. In my family, that means that last night we celebrated my husband's birthday. I try hard to make sure that he doesn't get overlooked; between the holidays and the New Year, that would be easy to do. Especially given his personality. He wouldn't mind, not really, if his birthday wasn't celebrated. As long as he skis on his birthday, he's all set.
He knows what he wants, he knows what he needs and he creates the day to fulfill and satisfy himself.
A lot of us reflect on the past year on this date. What have we done that we wanted to do? What have we done that we did not want to do? If we made New Year's resolutions a year ago, how well did they hold up?
I summarize. I look at the big things from 2013. It's too large a chunk of time to examine each day, so it's the bigger things that stand out.
The bigger things are important, no doubt. I do judge myself on those moments and occasions, and I do mean judge myself. I know for myself that in the tenderest moments, what I need to reflect on is my day to day behavior; my choices on an hourly basis. And this I need to do more frequently. Much more frequently than once a year.
Each evening I spend some time asking myself questions.
Here are some of the self reflection questions that I find myself pondering.
Was I kind?
Was I honest?
Was I loving?
Was I authentic?
Was I helpful to others?
Was I true to myself?
Did I do what needed to be done?
Was I grateful?
Was I present?
I don't ask myself each of those questions every night. Not surprisingly, I find myself asking the questions that I need to each night. It's when I'm wondering about my honesty that I ask myself about my honesty. It's when I'm uncomfortable about whether I was as kind as I could have been that I ask myself about kindness.
I clean it up every night. I acknowledge to myself what I didn't do as well as I would have liked. I look at it honestly and forgive myself (the best that I can), so I can start the next day, in a fresh, clean way.
What I like best about this? I don't have a lot of clean up to do tonight. I don't have a lot of regrets about 2013 that I haven't already processed. There's not a lot of discomfort hanging around about what I could have, should have, done better or different. I've looked at most of it already and feel mainly at peace with my choices and behavior.
My daily clean up means that at the end of the year, I don't have a huge clean up. For that, I am very grateful.
Tonight, while ringing in the new year, I will ask myself some questions. Right now, I don't know what they will be. I do know that last night, my husband celebrated his birthday and that he enjoyed himself. Last night, for me, got cleaned up last night so that waking up today felt brand new.
I invite you to try this with me. This evening, reflect on today.
Tomorrow we will talk about intentions.
Happy New Year to you all.
There is always beauty to be seen.
May you find beauty in your life today.
What are you hoping to find this holiday season? An end to fertility treatment with the best gift ever?
Is it a gift that you can unwrap? A gift that you can be surprised and delighted by?
Gifts come in packages that are most unusual and unexpected.
The last several days of warm weather were a gift to me. Yes, I know, they shouldn't have been warm; it's snow season. Does that mean I shouldn't have enjoyed the balminess in the air? Being able to move around outside without being bundled up, without hiding every bit of exposed skin, was a pleasure that I had not anticipated and that I enjoyed thoroughly.
I considered it a gift.
I'm a word nerd. May be silly, nonetheless, true. Here's the dictionary defintion of gift:
Full Definition of GIFT
1: a notable capacity, talent, or endowment
3: the act, right, or power of giving
In this season, number two pops out at me first. The piece that warms my heart as a reminder of giving in a loving way, is "without compensation".
It's not about what I get back. Or what I get first. It's about what I give or what I receive without "compensation".
Gifts are not all bought and paid for; some are offerings of time and energy. Making food, doing an errand, doing someone else's chore; these are all gifts that cannot be unwrapped yet are enjoyed as meaningful expressions of love.
Did you notice that love is not mentioned in that definition?
I did.
Yet, that's what makes a gift most meaningful. The emotion with which it is chosen and delivered and the feelings it evokes in the person who receives it.
Without love, a gift has very little lasting meaning. It's just an object. It's not real, even if it can light up and do all kinds of extraordinary things.
A beloved children's book, The Velveteen Rabbit, says it best:
"Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.''Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit. 'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'
For most of you reading this blog, that is the real point, isn't it? What we're hoping for? To become real, become most alive, in the role that we are yearning for: to become a parent.
The real gift would be to love a child in a way that makes us real, in the way that we want to become real. To love so truly and completely that sometimes it even hurts, because we don't mind.
That is the gift many of us are still hoping for; to love a child and to become parents.
Until that happens, we become real in our quest, through our pain and disappointments. You are already real through your love for a child that has yet to be.
So we will wait. Together. For that child.
May you find that gift soon.
I just read an article written by someone I know and respect on ways to get through the holidays. Dr. Marie Davidson, from Fertility Centers of Illinois, in "Advice from Two Pros: How to Navigate the Holidays With An Infertility Diagnosis" posted by the Chicago Tribune, gives some very sage advice about infertility and finding ways to celebrate without causing yourself undue harm.
It's about creating a plan. It's about being proactive in the next several weeks in ways that you can; making decisions about what you do, what you don't do, where you go, where you don't go.
I love all of her ideas. I remember trying all those ideas and finding the ones that fit in the right ways and adjusting others. I suggest reading her wonderful article and seeing how her ideas could help you.
Here's one more idea that a very lovely and loving woman in our practice tried out this year.
She adopted a family. Luckily, a lot of us do that. It's a way of helping another human being and putting them first, if only for a little while. It creates a feeling of gratitude within ourselves about we DO have, rather than what we DON'T have.
This lovely woman went further and organized other women in Fertile Yoga and Ladies Night In to help. One woman went out and shopped for the two year old boy, whose mother had left him. When she brought the clothes in to be collected at Yogaspace, her face shone with delight. I asked her if it was difficult to shop and buy clothing for a toddler when she was still without a child herself, wondering how that would feel.
Her reply was that she enjoyed herself so much, that it lightened her heart. She showed me what she had bought, describing each item of clothing, smoothing the clothes over with her hands, almost as if the little boy's body filled it out. The love and kindness of the holiday season was all there, in that moment, in this woman's heart.
The feelings are there. Love, compassion, kindness. Then there was an outlet for those feelings to be expressed, by giving to a little boy who needed some tender loving care.
Maybe it's not love, compassion and kindness. That's what the season means to me.
Perhaps taking some time to find out what the holidays means to you; to reflect, write, meditate, ask yourself some questions. Probably the holidays aren't just about shopping and gift giving. What are they about?
Then, having identified what the holiday truly means for you, take some action. Whether the action is for you, a loved one, or someone you've never met.
Do something.
Give your feelings a way to be expressed. Don't worry about whether it's a traditional way to celebrate the holidays or a truly quirky version. This year, give yourself permission to celebrate the holidays in a meaningful way for you.
Me, this year? I'm going with lighting candles, sitting in front of the fire, drinking tea and reading books. That's right, multiple books! Nirvana, for me. It will feed my soul to have some quiet time.
I celebrate the holidays by encouraging you to find your way of expressing yourself.

The Showplace Cinemas Henderson in Henderson, Kentucky opens its doors to the public today, November 19, 2010.
The Evansville Courier & Press has an article that talks about the theater and interviews some of the first customers that came to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1:
"I'm a humongous Harry Potter fan," said Brianna Barron, 19.
But the Henderson County High School graduate said she and her friends also used to complain that there was nothing to do at night and on the weekends in Henderson.
But standing in the large open carpeted area between the front doors and the concession stand, it was easy to imagine how Friday and Saturday night movies could bring the room to capacity -- if only so that teens could find someplace safe to be together.
Chrisana Birdsall of Henderson said she's "thrilled" that she doesn't have to drive all the way over to Evansville to see a movie anymore.
"This is 15-20 minutes away from home," she said. "I don't have to worry about going across the bridge, or the traffic."

Showplace Cinemas currently owns/operates five other locations in Indiana, and announced plans earlier this month to convert a KMart building in Princeton, Indiana, which should open in May 2011.

Posted May 07, 2014By
On May 7, 1915, the German submarine (U-boat) U-20 torpedoed and sank the Lusitania, a swift-moving British cruise liner traveling from New York to Liverpool, England. Of the 1,959 men, women, and children on board, 1,195 perished, including 123 Americans. A headline in the New York Times the following day—"Divergent Views of the Sinking of The Lusitania"—sums up the initial public response to the disaster. Some saw it as a blatant act of evil and transgression against the conventions of war. Others understood that Germany previously had unambiguously alerted all neutral passengers of Atlantic vessels to the potential for submarine attacks on British ships and that Germany considered the Lusitania a British, and therefore an "enemy ship."
The sinking of the Lusitania was not the single largest factor contributing to the entrance of the United States into the war two years later, but it certainly solidified the public's opinions towards Germany. President Woodrow Wilson, who guided the U.S. through its isolationist foreign policy, held his position of neutrality for almost two more years. Many, though, consider the sinking a turning point—technologically, ideologically, and strategically—in the history of modern warfare, signaling the end of the "gentlemanly" war practices of the nineteenth century and the beginning of a more ominous and vicious era of total warfare.

Lobster rolls -- hot with butter, or cold with mayo?
I've only had the cold, lobster-salad type (and not in Maine, so I'm sure not as good), but am thinking hot with just butter and a grilled bun sounds even better. Which way is the way most do it in Maine? And who has your favorite version? I'm going to be around in October, so I think I may miss out on some good places because they will be closed for the season. Sadness.
I prefer the hot ones with butter. :) Still, the cold ones light on the mayo are very nice as well. Better yet, BOTH! NOW! NOM NOM NOM! ;)
I'm not sure which shops are open in the off season, though. I usually go either right before Memorial Day or right after Labor Day for my lobstah fix.
re: Morganna
Mostly we see cold with mayo. You might find some good places open on Columbus Day weekend. I recently had a lobster roll at Mike's Clam Shack on Rt 1 in Wells but it didn't seem to taste as good as the one I had there last year.
This weekend I thought the lobster roll we had at an inland NH drive in type place was very fresh tasting but on our previous visit it seems definitely vacuum packed type lobster.

re: mjoyous
That sounds good! I wonder if they are open the first week in Oct?
re: MissLori
Red's usually closes around Columbus Day or shortly thereafter.
re: jackattack
I think the butter is on the side, and you can dip or pour a bit at at time.
re: jackattack
The roll is toasted, so it's got some structure. They don't pour a gallon of butter on it, just enough. It soaks into the roll some and the whole thing is just delightful. :)
re: jackattack
You'd eat that tasty sandwich so fast it wouldn't have time to get soggy!!!
I'm from CT and it's the only way I like them, when I eat a whole lobster it's with butter, so why not the lobster roll? The rolls are generally toasted, the lobster sauteed in butter first, so it's not terribly messy or drippy. But there is a fair amount of grease, of course!
Here's the Serious Eats top Lobster Rolls in the Northeast list:
re: Passadumkeg
I emailed Red's and they are open until Columbus Day. Looking forward to it!
Best lobster roll I've had was at the Maine Diner, and it was hot. I've had cold rolls that are good, and ones that are less so. My theory is that cold tends to mute flavors and make meat tougher, so if the lobster is already tough and/or not that flavorful, serving it cold will make it worse. If it's very flavorful and tender, though, then it can survive being cold. Whereas heat tends to bring out flavors and soften, so it'll tend to flatter even so-so lobster.

re: monopod
Agree to disagree.
re: monopod
I don't know about the hot/cold theory, but I do know that I will have to try both!
re: monopod
The first time I ever had a hot lobster roll was at the Maine Diner and since then, I've never had one as good. I think I like the hot and cold equally. To me, it depends on my mood at the time.
In Houston, I serve mine hot on homemade flour tortillas with butter. I also do boiled crawfish the same way. My hispanic wife thinks I'm crazy, but to me, pretty much everything tastes good in a fresh tortilla. I don't do all the meat that way, just some, I dip my favorite part, the knuckles, in warm butter.
This article is from a Seacoast NH food writer and has her thoughts about both types:
I am not a lobster roll afficionado - I prefer my lobster steamed - but I think the rolls I've had have a foot in both camps. Toasted buttered buns with cold lobster, bit of mayo on it. I love the cold against hot contrast. I love tuna fish salad on toast for the same reason. Man, I'm hungry.....
re: Passadumkeg
Maine crab is fantastic.Only downside is the short shelf life for a good crab roll Days in Yarmouth is good
re: dwdunn
For those who don't know, Reds rolls come with a choice of butter or mayo, always on the side if you get them to go. And they're great, especially if you don't have to wait an hour for 'em! (Lots of luck in August.)
re: mjoyous
I'll be in Maine in early Oct, so I'm hoping that the lines aren't so bad.
re: mjoyous
A Red's as said previously, if you don't need/want the mayo (at all on the plate any where near a lobster roll), tell them this whilst ordering. Some other very good eats available at Red's too!
I make mine w/ toasted, buttered roll. Saute lobster in a little butter and add a tiny bit of mayo and serve immediately. To me, the best of both worlds.
Does anyone know if there are any restaurants in Portland (or within 20-30 miles) where one can find a hot lobster roll with butter (vs. cold with mayo)? I was on these boards last week and I would have sworn that I saw references to a couple of places in Portland that offered this. But now they appear to be gone and the bookmark that I set is not there either. I've checked several other lobster-related threads but can't find what I'm looking for there, either.
re: sara_the_runner
Red's comes w/ a cup of butter for the Maine lobster roll infidels.
re: Passadumkeg
Thank you for the reply, but...
A) Red's is not in Portland, or even within 20-30 miles
B) While Red's serves butter, the meat is still cold.
My question is regarding places in or near Portland that make lobster rolls using hot/cooked meat and butter.
re: sara_the_runner
I believe the style you're looking for is a Connecticut thing, so you may need to venture further south?
re: sara_the_runner
I live a lot further north, but I thought Wiscasset is about 30 mi. north of Longfellowtown.
I haven't eaten at Red's in years. BUT, being an open minded Hound, I must admit, I now want to try a hot lobber butter roll. I just asked my 27 generation Mainer wife and she knows of no place either. I do have an invite to try a hot butter roll in Ct. Good luck finding one and please let us know if you do. I'm going to make one this week.
re: Passadumkeg
I musta had the one I liked so much in CT then. Now that I think about it a little more, I think it was our last trip to CT where we got it. :)
re: sara_the_runner
The Maine Diner on Route 1 in Wells has exactly what you're talking about. They call it the "Dale Arnold," and it's fabulous - hot lobster meat on the roll with butter. It's almost exactly 30 miles from Portland, so fits within your criteria (barely).

Do you think this topic will come up again in three years? And all of us will be long gone?
re: MidCoastMaineiac
Honestly, when I originally posted it, I though hot or cold were the choices, and have since learned that the ones with butter are actually cold lobster also.
re: MissLori
if ever in nh, going up rt 93 just north of concord, try Dipsy Doodle in Northfield. They do it both ways
re: MidCoastMaineiac
Since they revamped the boards for New England, lots and lots of older posts can only be found on that older board, and if you don't know about it, you don't know to look there. Loads of reviews I've posted don't appear on this board at all.
Hey everyone,
I posted to this thread earlier this week with a link to a new post on my blog featuring a somewhat tongue-in-cheek take on the hot vs. cold lobster roll debate. CHOWhound removed the post and asked me to refrain from posting links to outside URLs, which is somewhat understandable. That said, they said that excerpting some of the content from my blog post was okay. So, here are some thoughts on the cold lobster roll at the Fishermen's Grill in Portland, ME and the hot lobster roll at the Maine Diner (Wells, ME):
Cold lobster roll:
"Biting into the lobster roll, I found that the meat, while plenty cold, was not as chilled as some that I've had in the past. Not only did the decreased temperature contrast between warm bread—a New England style bun, lightly buttered and grilled—and cool lobster meat appeal to my taste buds more, I wondered if it also allowed the exquisite sweetness of the lobster meat to shine through more than if it were chilled at a colder temperature. Then again, the sweetness could be a function of the cuts of meat used in the roll, a factor which, as mentioned previously, I'm not considering in the context of this discussion.
In any case, the lobster roll was exquisite. The Fishermen's Grill lobster roll is just lobster meat and a bit of mayo—barely enough to coat the meat. It was, thankfully, devoid of celery, and was separated from the bread by a thin bed of lettuce, enough to impart a crunchy textural component to the roll but not so much as to overpower the taste of lobster meat."
Hot Lobster Roll:
"At first glance, both the lobster meat and the bread looked a bit dry to me. The roll appeared to have been very lightly grilled, but I couldn't find any evidence of it being buttered, which is possibly standard practice with hot lobster rolls. I'm not sure about this, so if anyone knows better than I, please don't hesitate to chime in using the Comments feature. The chunks of lobster were nicely sized: large enough to feel like you are eating something substantial, but not so big as to pose a challenge to the person devouring them.
I poured some of the butter over about half of the lobster roll, leaving the other half naked so that I could pick out a few pieces with my fork and enjoy them sans butter. Much to my delight, both the lobster meat and the bun were far more moist than they appeared. I did not find the meat to be quite as sweet as it had been in the cold roll, but in both its naked and buttered forms, it appealed to me more on a textural level. There was also just a hint of a pleasant brine-y flavor that I didn't pick up on with the Fishermen's Grill roll. Overall, it was delicious and I really enjoyed having the ability to pick and choose which pieces of lobster meat I'd have with and without butter."
If you'd like to read the full reviews, I suppose that it might be okay for me to suggest that you could find them by Googling my username. Happy reading and eating!

re: chubbywerewolf
I was an 'old school' simple w. mayo on a roll for years..
until i went to Neptune Oyster on Salem Street in the North End/Boston...They do a chilled lobster roll with warm butter on a huuuge brioche roll that will make you forget about all others. Good luck getting into the place too..small room, fills quick. Sorry, there isnt a lobster roll in New England, that ive had, that is even on the map with this one.
-with heated hot garlic butter laced with cayenne hot sauce! On a toasted buttered bun of course.

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
Can a New "Sin Tax" Save Haiti's Schools?
Haiti's government is hoping to raise $100 million for education by putting an additional tax on alcohol, cigarettes and gambling. Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe announced that the new 2% "sin tax" would amass enough money to build 200 schools and refurbish 2,000 more. In addition, the money is needed for training and pay raises for thousands of teachers. "In Haiti, 70% of the teachers have not completed sixth grade," says Lamothe. "We need to train the teachers, and that is a $23 million program." The proceeds raised by the tax would go into a government fund that already has accrued nearly $34 million in taxes on international phone calls and money transfers. However, the new sin tax must be approved by Parliament before it can go into effect. Lamothe hopes that efforts to improve and rebuild the educational system would boost enrollment in schools; Haiti has about 4.5 million school-age children and only about half of them were attending school before the 2010 earthquake that destroyed and damaged thousands of classrooms.
Methadone Therapies Found to Reduce HIV Risk
It has been long documented that the use of injection drugs is a major risk factor for spreading HIV and AIDS, but a new study has confirmed a link between methadone treatments and a reduced risk of HIV transmission in people who inject drugs. An international team of researchers carried out a meta-analysis of several published and unpublished studies from nine countries including the US, Austria and China, which looked predominately at men between the ages of 26-39. Pooling the results, the researchers found opiate substitution therapies such as methadone and buprenopine were linked to a 54% fall in risk of HIV infection among people who inject drugs. "Increases in HIV incidence have been reported among PWID (people who inject drugs) in a number of countries in recent years, where opiate substitution therapies are illegal or severely restricted," says co-author Julie Bruneau, from the CHUM Research Centre (CRCHUM) and the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Montreal. "There is good evidence to suggest that opiate substitution therapies (OST) reduce drug-related mortality, morbidity and some of the injection risk behaviors among PWID. However, to date there has been no quantitative estimate of the effect of OST in relation to HIV transmission."
The researchers noted that HIV/AIDS account for nearly a fifth of the burden of disease among people who use illicit drugs and that 5 to 10 percent of HIV infections worldwide are contracted via intravenous drug use. Using methadone to combat withdrawal and HIV has long been a controversial subject: billionaire George Soros released a comic book character called "Methadone Man" urging for methadone and buprenorphine maintenance programs, whereas actor-comedian Russell Brand is against the practice, claiming it prolongs drug use. "We might as well let people carry on taking drugs if they're going to be on methadone," said Brand. "Obviously it's painful to abstain, but at least it's hope-based."
Drug Treatment in Prison: Making Strides
Prisoners are admitted to the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) in line with their projected release dates. RDAP consists of a minimum of 500 face-to-face contact hours over the course of 10 months, and its unit-based component has three phases: Orientation, Core Treatment and Transition. Participants are exposed to a variety of interventions during each phase, including community meetings, pychoeducational groups, service groups, process groups and individual sessions as warranted. "They got three parts you have to take and complete to get the year off [your sentence]," one prisoner tells The Fix. "Phase one is Orientation; it's 11 weeks, it goes over the eight attitudes of change and confronting and leveling. Phase two, which is broken into two eleven-week sessions, goes over RSAs [rational self-analysis], criminal thinking errors and how to have healthy relationships. Phase three is 11 weeks and it gives you the tools to evaluate the balance of your life."
Each program segment requires active participation and a commitment to change—mere attendance and observation, without active participation, is not sufficient to complete the program. Before a participant can make the transition from one stage to the next, he must demonstrate acceptance of his diagnosis, take responsibility for the entire community, actively and appropriately engage in group activities, make an observable commitment to positive change and demonstrate mastery of phase-related concepts. "I learned how to be more aware of myself and the attitudes I demonstrated in Orientation," the prisoner says. "In phase two I learned that I look for unhealthy relationships because I am codependent, and in phase three I'm learning that every aspect of my life has to be in sequence for me to be balanced."
Zetas Founder Killed, Corpse Stolen
Top Zetas drug cartel leader, Heriberto "El Lazca" Lazcano, was killed yesterday during a shoot-out between marines and the Zetas cartel, reports have confirmed—and now his body has been stolen by an armed gang. The corpse had been handed over to local authorities and was being stored at a funeral parlor in Northern Mexico on Monday, when the gang raided the building and stole the body. Still, Lazcano's death is a major victory for Mexico, as the Zetas cartel, which Lazcano helped found, is responsible for some of the country's bloodiest massacres and largest jail breaks. Lazcano, aka "El Verdugo" (meaning "the Executioner"), is suspected in hundreds of murders, and under his leadership, the Zetas transformed from a small group of assassins into an elite army group. They were also the first group to publicly display their beheaded rivals, earning them a reputation for brutality. But even with Lazcano dead, Mexico's problems are far from over; leadership of the Zetas would likely be taken over by Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, who is known for being even more brutal and ruthless than Lazcano.
Jada Pinkett Smith Thought She'd Be Dead by 21
Life wasn't always glitz and glamour for Jada Pinkett Smith. The multi-millionaire actress, the wife of multi-multi-millionaire actor Will Smith, has opened up about being raised in poverty by her drug-addicted mother and grandmother, claiming the neighborhood she grew up in was so rough that she expected to be dead by 21. "I grew up in a drug-infested neighborhood where you walk out each day and you just hope that you make it. I came from a war zone," she says. "There was a possibility that I wouldn't make it past 21—that was the reality. When I turned 40 (last year) it was a surreal moment because I had never imagined reaching 40." Her two children Willow and Jaden are both burgeoning musicians; Jada says she would be "terrified" to raise them in the environment she grew up in. "I wish to God I could have had the luxury to sit back and think, 'Mom, I want to go out and get my vocal lessons today because I have this new song that I want to write,' she says. "What I had to think about was, 'Oh man, I wonder what I'm going to eat tonight because there's no food here. How am I going to get to school? And is my mom going to be okay today? Will this be one more day she survives her addiction?' That's the kind of stuff I had to think about at 11."
Afghan Woman Opens Restaurant-Funded Rehab
In a country that has been long-tormented by drug addiction, a former filmmaker has taken a bold and innovative approach to helping fund addiction treatment. Iranian-born Afghani Laila Haidari recently opened a restaurant in Kabul, the proceeds of which will help fund the treatment center and shelter she started there: "Mother Camp". Haidari visited Kabul a year ago for a film festival, but was so stunned by the addiction she witnessed in Afghanistan's capital city that she decided to stay and help out. "I was always thinking about what I could to do help [addicts] and protect them," says Haidari, who attributes her decision to her "maternal instincts." She says finding resources and a place to set up her rehabilitation center "was not an easy task," in part due to government corruption, and further complicated by her gender; she says her husband filed for divorce when she announced her business plans. But she succeeded in opening Mother Camp last fall, and was able to sustain it thanks to the income from her restaurant, Taj Begum. She says Mother Camp has treated 400 addicts, and is currently housing 27. "It was a heartbreaking scene for me because some of the addicts never thought that a woman like me could help them," says Haidari, who plans to staff the restaurant with recovering addicts, to offer them a chance to rebuild their lives. Afghanistan currently produces about 90% of the world's opium, the material used in making heroin, and is home to an estimated one-million drug addicts.
