I'm really impressed with this concealer. It goes on like a dream. So smooth and easy to blend. I put a dab on my ring finger and it applies beautifully. I have the shade 'Natural' and it's a good match for my fair skin. It covers my under-eye darkness very well, I'd say it was medium coverage which is enough for me. The only bad thing is that I don't really like the brush, as it can be difficult to squeeze out.

I wanted to like these concealers so bad but I was very disappointed. The price point is AMAZING. 1.99 for a concealer sounds like a winner for anybody. Now the shades are horrible honestly you might have to buy more than one to find the perfect shade. I purchased Toffee and Cool Tan. I am like NC45-NC50 and no shade matched, they were all too yellow. The consistency was another thing I hated. Sure it was creamy when I put it on but once I blended it in it came across very cakey and dry and it was so obvious I had a concealer on. I will continue sticking with my HG concealer Tarte Amazonian Clay.

I love these concealers they are awesome for pictures , they have great full coverage and is NATURAL looking . i capitalized the word natural because these concealers sink into the skin causing it to give a natural highlight effect that stands out but not much and looks natural , although i love these concealers i wouldn't recommend using these concealers for the " kim kardashian highlighting effect " the reason why is these concealers are meant to give a natural looking highlight so for all my ladies that love a nice bright highlight under the eyes you may want to use a different brand on top of this that's a little lighter . because these concealers don't always cutt it when i want a nice bright highlight under my eye , i usually use these concealers on my more natural looking days or when i want to take pictures but sometimes if im going out il put my mac studio fix finish concealer in a lighter shade over the LA PRO GIRL concealer to give it a little more life .
( recommendations )
i am a NC40-NC35 , SO for all my NC40-NC35 Girls i recommend you to get the shade "Pure beige" its a yellowish undertone shade ( its great if you don't want too much of a highlight its not that bright and it gives a natural awaken look under the eyes ) , if you are a NC42 or a NC44 "Pure beige" will also look nice and natural on you too (might stand out a little more on a NC44 but in a good natural way ) , or you can also try (Medium beige ) . if you are darker then a NC40 like a NC42, NC43 , NC44 OR even NC45 and want a NATURAL shade to highlight with " medium beige " is a good shade as well its a tiny bit darker then pure beige and it has more of neutral undertone though .
( these are just my recommendations for a natural highlight you can use shades lighter if you like ) like Creamy beige it is a yellowish undertone concealer it is Real bright i Also own this shade but just don't use it much . i wouldn't go any lighter then a creamy beige if you are in the NC40s or NC30s in mac .
i also recommend the shade " fawn " ( its one of the rave shades ) it makes a great bronzer for around your forehead area ( for my NC40-NC35 LADIES , its not too dark which gives a natural bronze look . " fawn" is also great for deeper skin tone women to highlight with ( If you are darker then a NC45 ) its a PURE yellow / golden based concealer . i also use & recommend the shade " beautiful bronze " i contour around my nose area and stuff with this shade ( you can choose a darker shade to contour with if you want as long as you blend it out properly ) beautiful bronze is a Deep/dark bronze shade its not too dark tho this is also a Golden DEEP undertone with some cool undertones mixed in it .
i own 6 shades , Pure beige , medium beige , fawn , creamy beige , beautiful bronze , and cool tan . i don't use cool tan as much but it would be a great one to have if you are a tanned caramel complexion , and creamy beige is cool i dont use it too much tho which i should try it out lol its been sitting in my makeup bin for over 5 months now it is a nice real bright yellowish shade . The shades i will DEF be repurchasing is Pure beige , fawn , and beautiful bronze
( more information )
And one more thing these concealers are really creamy and if you get a light coverage with this concealer it's because you used a little bit but if you use the proper amount these can have awesome coverage . For all the ladies saying " it doesn't give a natural look " or " it gives a greyish look " the shade you are using is obviously too light for you or the wrong undertone anything that gives you a greyish or weird undertone look is not the right shade ladies . Y'all need to stop copying every shade the YouTube gurus be using because they may look like your shade but sometimes they aren't so please choose your shades wisely based on YOUR COMPLEXION and the type of highlighting you want . . These are best blended with a beauty blender or a flat foundation brush or even a slight damp dense brush whatever works for you .

- packaging
COMMENTS: I get these for $1.99 at my local beauty supply store. I would definitely pay more as the quality is up to par with more expensive brands. They're so creamy, pigmented, easy to blend, and long wearing. I'm not too crazy about the applicator, but it'll work. Creamy Beige is the perfect shade for my NC37 skin tone when used for highlighting as it has yellow undertones. It gives a nice brightening effect.
Will repurchase.

This product is awesome!
I got this in toast and it is a little bit darker than my skin tone but it works fine since I always blend it out. It is very affordable and gets the job done. I use it for spot correcting and it works. 💖
It had a great consistency because it wear it for about 8 hours an it last but around 6 hours it might need a touch up. I love the brush applicator it sooo helpful but I wish there was more product in the tube. Overall it is an awesome product, try it!

I am in love! I hate to be on the bandwagon...but...its an amazing product!
I purchased 5 colors because I did not know what shade would be best for what purposes. In general, I prefer light foundation coverage, or just concealer where needed and a light powder. I almost always wear concealer under my eye and I only wear brightening/highlighting concealer in the evening...so natural is my "to-go" look. I am approx. NC50 in MAC PLW, Deep in the Garnier BB cream, Caramel on both Revlon ColorStay and Maybelline SuperStay, and 4 1/2 in Dermablend Covercream (its a tad light but it blends perfectly under my eyes with a light powder and on my skin with a skin colored powder...and its my HG!). I purchased the LA Girl Pro Concealer in Medium Beige, Warm Honey, Almond, Fawn, and Toffee. Upon receiving the package I tested all 5 on the back of my clean hand...I loved the consistency. It is thicker than the MAC PLWC, but provides the same if not better coverage, and similar staying power. I applied a thin layer of each and allowed to dry...then did an hour of yoga, and rinsed a few dishes. The concealer stayed put through both, but washed off easily with soap. The first two shades would make amazing highlighters or under eye concealers for evening for my skin tone (only a thin layer so I dont have reverse raccoon eyes) or...what I am currently doing is...mixing with other concealers to brighten the undertone and increase longevity. Today I mixed my Medium Beige with my Amazing Cosmetics conealer in Deep Tan...now...the AC concealer provides great coverage, but it is a tan too dark for my under eye, and it creases...Medium Beige fixed both those issues. My under eye looks amazing! I plan to use Medium Beige and Warm Honey for those purposes. The Almond is my perfect under eye/dark circle shade...totally cancels out discoloration under the eye...and dries to a semi matte/matte finish and lasts through an 8 hour work day and a 1.5 hour hot yoga class. Fawn is a great color for all over my face to cover anything I want to hide, it has a yellow undertone to make it great for all over the skin...and Toffee is another discoloration color for dark marks but it is darker so it can be used under the eye alone on a natural day, or on the face to cover discoloration.
Madly in love...and cannot wait to purchase more!
For those that do not like the brush (I have no issue as I only apply on a clean freshly washed face) you can cut off the hairs and use like a normal tube of makeup products with no issue.
I purchased from ikatehouse.com for $1.99 each (I bought 10) and $3.95 for shipping).

Do not get the hype with this product. Was excited to use it after hearing all the reviews, but it's just a cheap, badly made concealor.
- Average at best
- Medium coverage
- Cheap
- Annoying applicator which either dispenses nothing or way too much when squeezed out.
- Awful coverage: it covers pretty well but doesn't blend, and just looks like really obvious cheap concealor, it does not look natural at all.
- Personal: the colour just didn't match my skin, it was a very 'beige-grey' shade that made me look like I had been in hospital.
Wouldn't recommend!

A nice cheap concealer to use that's light coverage. It didn't cover my acne scars or dark under eye circles. I needed my Mac studio finish concealer ASAP. It's not a re purchase for me, but if you need something affordable then try this.

This is my " holy grail" concealer. As, I have gone through so many concealers, and this one is the best I've ever found. I first found out about it on YT. After hearing so many people rave about it, I decided to give it a try. Because there were no stores around me that carried it at the time, I had to order from online. Let me tell you, I fell in love with this concealer after first use. It looks completely natural against my skin, it blends well, and it will last all day on my face, whether I happen to put powder over it or not. It doesn't crease or cake up. It comes in a variety of shades, which I like. Because sometimes, I like to switch up colors.
Currently, there is a beauty outlet store that just started carrying them. So, now, I plan to shop there from now on for these concealers. At this time, the colors I have are Pure Beige, Medium Beige, And Warm Sand. And, I do plan to expand my collection to include more shades. As, the line does carry 18 shades total. So, whether your fair to deep ebony, your sure to find a shade to match you.
Ladies, please don't sleep on this concealer. At my beauty outlet store, it sells for $2.99. However, if you do not live near a beauty supply store that carries it, you can always buy it online from ikatehouse, which actually sells it cheaper, for $1.79.
This concealer may be cheap, but it is wonderful. And, I'm so glad that I listened to the ladies on YT and decided to give it a try.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this concealer. I have combination skin and oily skin in the places I need to apply my concealer, so it's GREAT that I don't need to apply powder over it. Blends so easily and doesn't show up as ashy on camera. Also is very cheap and I am all for frugality. I would definitely buy again. Wouldn't hesitate!

Weird weather stressful for fish
By Phil Cooper, IDFG
May and June are stressful
months for warmwater fish, such as bullheads, perch, bass, crappie and sunfish.
These are the months when
most warmwater fish spawn, taking a lot of a fish's energy. On top of that,
water temperatures typically rise fairly rapidly.
being cold-blooded animals, are sensitive to temperature changes, so dramatic
swings in temperature, particularly around the time when fish are stressed from
spawning, can take a toll.
Jim Fredericks, Idaho
Panhandle Regional fishery manager with Idaho Fish and Game, notes that it's
common for people to see a few dozen fish dead or dying around the edges of
northern Idaho lakes this time of year.
"It's very common to see a
die-off of bullhead catfish and sunfish in some of the regional lakes,"
In most cases, early summer
die-offs are the result of a thermal shock on post-spawn fish. There's generally
no risk of swimming in the water or eating healthy fish caught from the lakes.
The unusually cool May and
June this year, with a few warm days mixed in, seems to have been particularly
stressful in a couple of area lakes. Fish and Game received a number of reports
about dead fish in
Biologists with Fish and Game
and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality have investigated recent fish
kills, and they have observed several dozen fish, representing a variety of
species and sizes.
"In terms of the total number
of dead fish, it's certainly not what I'd call a major die-off,"
Just to be sure, Fish and
Game and a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pathologist will be collecting some
fish to conduct tissue samples next week.
In addition, Fish and Game
and the Department of Environmental Quality will continue to watch Spirit and
other lakes around the region where dead fish have been observed.
"My guess is that we've seen
the worst, but we'll definitely keep an eye on it,"

"How Fantasy Sports Explains the World": A Talk With AJ Mass
By Jessica Barton on March 6, 2012
Listen, guys. Not all nerds hate sports. Prove it? You want me to prove it? Fine! Read How Fantasy Sports Explains the World: What Pujols and Peyton Can Teach Us About Wookiees and Wall Street by AJ Mass. You'll be a believer. And if you already love fantasy sports (I loooove me some fantasy baseball, I won't lie), you'll really appreciate this.
Recently, I had a little email chat with Mass and thought it would make for a better book review than I could write because, let's face it, the title is pretty self-explanatory. I want to preface this by saying: How Fantasy Sports Explains the World is definitely not just for sports fans. This is a book any nerd can get into. Maybe not knitting nerds. I lied.
So, here's the — well, let's loosely call it an interview — chat I had with Mass:
Tell me about your book (in your own wonderful words).
I decided to talk to experts from all walks of life: legal experts, biblical experts, economists, the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, romance expert Steve Ward (Tough Love) as well as pop-culture figures like Jane Espenson (Buffy), Alec Sulkin (Family Guy), and Survivor contestant Yau-Man Chan.
What I found there was that life lessons could be taken from playing fantasy sports and could be applied to other parts of our lives. You don't even need to know anything about fantasy sports to relate to a majority of the stories in this book. If you've ever picked up the phone to vote for American Idol, been called for jury duty, attended Comic-Con, gone out on a blind date, or been in a meeting at work where you couldn't wait for a certain co-worker to shut up… you can relate to this book.
It's meant to be a fun, entertaining book for anyone who has a passion about anything, full of anecdotes that take you from the boardroom to the courtroom, from charred Connecticut campgrounds to the world of psychic charlatans and to the edge of a galaxy, far, far, away.
What was it like to get the (pardon the pun) ball rolling on this project? There are so many interviews and interesting stories here, was it difficult to get it started?
Two days after my book was released, the West Memphis Three were released. It was incredible, given the message of that final chapter about never giving up hope…
That's AMAZING! It sounds like you were incredibly persistent in getting this done. Is there any advice you can offer to other writers about getting their own book ideas off the ground?
As always you can find me on Twitter, email me at email@example.com or leave a comment here. OH! Oh! And stay tuned for a forthcoming podcast by yours truly and friends, called No Math Allowed! A Podcast About Books. Sorta. It'll be coming in April, we hope, and should be a good old fashioned book nerd festival of fun….
[…] World: What Pujols and Peyton Can Teach Us About Wookiees and Wall Street, tries to answer that in this interview with The Nerdist […]
[…] There's actually a book out there called "How Fantasy Sports Explains The World." I think I can say there's a book called "How Fantasy Sports Explains The World" on my bookshelf. (Nerdist) […]
There are plenty of nerds who enjoy sports in general, and fantasy sports in particular. I grew up a fan of several sports, but (in true nerd fashion) was never good at any of them. So I resigned myself to watching the pros on TV. Fantasy sports are perfect for people like me; the statistics component plays right into our analytical nature, and the interactive component gives us an outlet to feel like we are actively participating in the sport. I've also found that my knowledge of the game has expanded as a result.
Hi Eric,I've been playing fastany baseball for nearly 12 years now, but I've used your site for the past 3.You have great articles and very helpful insight. You're site has been extremely helpful. Keep up the great work and I wish you luck in your league this year!!Dave

Locate Radiology Jobs and the Locate Jobs Network were launched in an effort to bring simple, targeted and cost-effective job search and online recruiting solutions to employers, recruiters and job seekers.

Job seekers using Locate Radiology Jobs have the advantage of seeing only employment positions that specifically match their interest and skill set and the highly targeted content at Locate Radiology Jobs benefits both employers and job seekers in every potential employment transaction. Our sites are simple by design. Job seekers are free to search jobs without logging in or creating an account. Employers can post jobs easily and they are searchable within minutes. Locate Radiology Jobs is not intended to drive massive amounts of passive job seekers to vague job posts. Rather, the site is built for capturing the most targeted employment traffic possible and serving the most appropriate radiology job posts for active job seekers.
Locate Radiology Jobs is a highly-targeted radiology job board and job search website that functions as a recruiting conduit for healthcare employers and recruiters and as a job search resource for radiology and medical imaging employment candidates. The site was founded in 2009 and is a part of the Locate Jobs Network, a loose coalition of niche job boards, each of which focuses on a particular industry or field of employment. Locate Radiology Jobs and the Locate Jobs Network are Maryland-based enterprises that share a nationwide job search and recruitment focus. Founded by two long-time entrepreneurs with many years of experience in the online job board and recruiting space, Locate Radiology Jobs adheres to a principle of following a targeted approach to searching for both employment opportunities and candidates. On the job seeker side, this means utilizing a job search website that features only relevant career listings, thus eliminating the need for in-depth searching and sorting merely to cull the positions to which a candidate wishes to apply. For employers, the experience and expertise of the average user of this radiology job board indicates a specific interest and skill level that routinely matches the needs of employers who are recruiting candidates through Locate Radiology Jobs.

Looking for an upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8 for your Nokia Lumia 710 on T-Mobile's network? If so, we are said to report that you are apparently T-Mobile is skipping the upgrade altogether.
The word comes directly from a 710 owner that decided to contact Nokia directly about whether or not his T-Mobile handset was getting the upgrade to 7.8 or not. Here's what Nokia had to say:
"In response to your concern, we understand that you want to confirm if the Windows Phone 7.8 will be available for Nokia Lumia 710 from T-Mobile. We are sorry to inform you that there are a small number of operators that have chosen not to offer the update to their users.It is important to recognize that this decision was made solely by the operator and these include the T-Mobile network in the United States."
"In response to your concern, we understand that you want to confirm if the Windows Phone 7.8 will be available for Nokia Lumia 710 from T-Mobile. We are sorry to inform you that there are a small number of operators that have chosen not to offer the update to their users.
It is important to recognize that this decision was made solely by the operator and these include the T-Mobile network in the United States."
Basically, it wasn't Nokia's decision, but a carrier one. For the record, this probably also applies to the T-Mobile HTC Radar as well.
The good news is that the technically inclined folks out there aren't left completely in the dark. It is completely possible to manually install Windows Phone 7.8 using CAB files. Certainly better that nothing.
What do you think of T-Mobile's decision? Are you still clinging to the Lumia 710, if will you ditch the phone as soon as you can to move to Windows Phone 8 or perhaps a completely different platform? Let us know in the comments below.
[ source ]
I can't believe t mobile would dis it's 710 owners like that.
TMOB IS BURNING AN IMPORTANT BRIDGE. People avoided Tmob if they wanted the best carrier getting the latest and greatest Apple product. But folks that see WP as a reasonable alternative found a home in Tmob with the assumption that a good relationship with Nokia & Microsoft. Now Tmob is breaking that customer presumption. What really is agitating is that this upgrade would not cost Tmob that much to do…and it would be worth far more in goodwill to the customer base. You are training us once again not to trust you. This is what breeds a tendency to jump ship when the competition's offerings are juicy.
Well I just spoke with a T-Mobile Tech support representative and he told me its scheduled to come out for T-Mobile customers ANYTIME this month. So this article may not be true!
Same here. So the guy didn't lie
tmobile keeps screwing up! I'm leaving the service…
I have contacted t-mobile via Face Booook and they say that these are rumors. Of course I reminded them that 7.8 was rolled out days ago and T mobile has made no mention of it. But I guarantee that if they fail to provide this update for my 710 I will take my business elsewhere. I suggest anyone else with a windows 7.5 phone with T Mobile contact them and let them know what your actions would be if they fail to provide this update.
I've called tech support and was told that the update is scheduled, but they didn't give me a firm date. Now I wonder if the guy lied to me. If, I won't get this update from them before Feb 19th, I am ditching tmobile this summer
Don't blame Nokia or Microsoft. It's purely tmobiles fault.
not true!!!
It is stupid if T-Mobile did decide not to offer the 7.8 update. Seems people are getting worked up about what someone said Nokia said to them. Whether it is true or not, who knows. I did decide that I didn't want to wait any longer so after a little research I found a website that talked about the program 'seveneighter'. It is a program someone wrote that helps download and install the .cab files for you. I ran it on both my and my wife's 710 and got 7.8 on both of them.
thank god! i left tmobile and went to ATT. i love my new lumia 920.
i got the bleeping phone for Cristmas expecting from the hint for the lumia 710 7.8 OS heard about it being for the device for shure now it changed there should be a lawsuit or a forced update and deny the t-mobile the right to block the 7.8 for USA lumia 710 users
This isn't Windows fault or Nokia's. It is completely TMobiles fault. Windows phone is actually a nice system to use. Especially if you use windows on your desktop.
I to will no longer give my money to t-mobile or support windows phone… By Monday I will have a different phone on a different network.. Thank u t-mobile for letting us know exactly how you feel about your paying customers.. Im being extremely nice right now.. I wld love to tell you what you can do with my phone but its pointless because you have already let us know you dont care what we think or that some of us work hard for our money and dont like to throw it away… I will trash t-mobile every chance I get to everyone I can….
you should get lumia 920. i love the phone and blazing att speeds in atlanta area.
Annnd where can we ge thte .cabs?
What the hell, Microsoft and T-Mobile really dropped the ball, Windows Phone is a kinda horrible platform already, they need all the help they can get and that includes updating their devices. Both companies dropped the ball..
i am still waiting for an update to my android lg optimus v phone. its been more than 2 years now. atleast, lumia 720 got an update from 7 to 7.5. it is tmobile's fault that 710 is not getting the update.
I'll be having an iPhone from AT&T by Monday. Screw T-Mobile. Screw Microsoft. They both made it clear how little they value their customers.
how can you blame microsoft? microsoft cannot force tmobile to push an update.
if this is true I will be T mobile along with my 5 lines of service.

Concierge.com's insider take:
The clientele of this high-end bar in the Merchant City neighborhood are a grown-up, sophisticated lot who enjoy the decadent Roman vibe. It's done up in the style of a statue-strewn Mediterranean town house, complete with a candlelit courtyard. Yes, it sounds weird, but it works. There's a restaurant and two nightclubs too.

Ministry of Health Status Report of Response Influenza A (H1N1)

In Pictures: Balloon crash 18 killed, 3 injured
Tourists from France, UK, Japan, Honk Kong and Hungary involved in a hot air balloon crash near Luxor
A hot air balloon carrying 20 tourists crashed near Luxor early on Tuesday morning after the fuel supply caught fire, an official told state-run news agency MENA. The official reported that the balloon fell from 300 metres to the ground, killing 18 and injuring three.
The deceased passengers include nine tourists from Hong Kong, two from France, four from Japan, one from the UK, one from Hungary, and one from Egypt. Two British citizens and the pilot were injured.
All hot air balloons, like aeroplanes, must receive licences from the Ministry of Civil Aviation to operate, Minister Wael El Madaoui said. The balloon involved in the fatal incident was certified as secure and was operating under a licence due to expire next October.

On the Ecuadoran coast, ceviche carts line the beaches selling ice-cold seafood cooked in lime juice and sprinkled with popcorn. In Quito, where fresh seafood is more rare, a lightly poached shrimp cocktail is the ceviche of choice.
What to buy: We found deveined frozen shrimp at our local market, and they worked great in this recipe. If you use fresh shrimp, they will take slightly less time to cook, so start checking them after a few minutes.
Look for avocados that are ripe but not mushy. If they are too soft, they will fall apart when you fold them into the shrimp mixture.
Game plan: A great way to serve the shrimp cocktail is in small cups or bowls with a cocktail fork stuck in for easy eating. This dish can be prepared up to 1 day in advance (without the avocado), covered, and kept in the refrigerator. When your guests arrive, simply peel and dice the avocado, sprinkle it over top, and serve.
This recipe was featured as part of our Spicy Holiday Cocktail Party menu.
- 1Fill a large stockpot with water, salt it heavily (it should taste like sea water), and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Add shrimp and poach until they are pink and firm, about 7 minutes. Drain and cool the shrimp, then peel and devein them; set aside.
- 2Combine ketchup, orange juice, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, and orange zest in a large, nonreactive bowl and stir until combined.
- 3Halve avocados lengthwise and remove the pits. Peel each half, place it cut side down on a cutting board, and cut into medium dice. Fold diced avocado, onion, and poached shrimp into the sauce. Adjust the seasoning as desired, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Beverage pairing: Dominio del Plata "Crios de Susana Balbo," Torrontes, Argentina. A South American white for this Ecuadoran dish—citrus, mint, and white flowers delivered in a light but punchy package.

Living without having children doesn't have to be sad, depressing, or futile. Here are seven ways to be happy after infertility…
"We were diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility', which sounds good in one respect," says Cindy Margolis, actress, model, and spokesperson for RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. "On the other hand, you almost want something wrong, so there's a problem, so you can fix it."
Whether you're coping with male, female, or unexplained infertility, adjusting to the thought of not having kids can be difficult.
You may find Beyond Motherhood: Choosing a Life Without Children helpful.
What I find most helpful is being grateful for what I do have. I love my husband, dog, cat, friends, Quips and Tips blogs, and life in general. Some days I have to force myself to choose to look on the bright side, and other days it's easy!
You can't be depressed or bitter when you're grateful.
A Childfree Life After Infertility – 7 Ways to be Happy
Focus on the benefits of not having children — there are some!
"Most studies have shown that psychological well-being tends to decline when people have kids," says sociologist Amy Pienta, from the University of Michigan. "In mid-life, being married or having a partner has a greater impact on a woman's well-being than whether or not she has children." Enjoying life after infertility involves focusing on the emotional and financial freedom that a child-free existence can offer!
Find infertility and childfree living support groups
If you've recently discovered that you or your partner have fertility issues, you may want to investigate infertility treatments. Many treatment centers have support groups – and connecting with other couples coping with infertility is a great way to both research possible treatments and build a happy childfree life.
Support other couples coping with infertility
Cindy Margolis is an actress and model who faced "unexplained infertility issues" – and is now the spokesperson for RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. You don't have to be famous to get involved with an infertility treatment center or support group! Life after infertility – or any disappointment, serious illness, or major life change – can involve reaching out to others with the same struggles.
Be prepared for the effect of infertility on your marriage
Help Getting Pregnant
Optimize Your Chances of Conceiving a Baby - FertilAid SpermCheck Fertility Test for Men Sperm Motility BoostI don't know the statistics of divorce after infertility, but not being able to have children can negatively impact marriages and committed relationships. Some couples get a divorce after infertility or even during infertility treatments – it's a stressful, difficult time. To be happy with a childfree life, be aware that your marriage may look very different in a year or more…for better or worse. If your marriage is shaky, read Keeping Your Marriage Strong in Infertility.
Think outside the box
Our infertility issues can't be fixed with surgery; we're considering a second round of sperm donor "treatments" (intrauterine insemination), but it sure gets expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally draining! If my husband and I don't have children, I hope to take extended vacations every year, focus on building a strong writing career, and accept a childfree life.
Get involved with other people's kids
To be happy after infertility, consider being a Big Sister or Big Brother, volunteering at a hospital for sick kids, or getting seriously involved in your nephews' or nieces' lives. There are kids all over our communities who are lonely and desperate for adult attention…and if your childfree life may benefit other people's kids in deep, meaningful ways.
Consider options for infertile couples
Talk to couples who have adopted, fostered, or had children in unconventional ways. Enjoying – not just tolerating – life after infertility involves opening your mind to possibilities other than traditional childbirth (or traditional infertility treatments). To find these possibilities after infertility, ask your friends and family for examples of people who have built their families in untraditional ways. You'll be surprised at what bubbles to the surface.

Hmmm….now I'm looking at my quote "you can't be both depressed and grateful"….and I'm rethinking it. You CAN be physiologically or hormonally depressed, and still be grateful for what you have!
I'm very sorry I missed your comments! Sometimes life gets so busy, I can't keep up. If you're still around – if you see this – please stop by and let me know how you're doing.

Hi! My name is nataly I'm 16 yrs old and I'm about to b17. I'm really sad and worried about my future bc I had two stds and probably have p.I.d and Im scare it may damage my reproductive organs and lead to infertility. :'( I'm soo scared help me plz
Hi message for jane
i too am in the situation that my husband has children from a previous relationship although he does try it is very hard as aside from all the pain from what is going on i feel very sad and lonely that he will not be able to understand the feelings i am dealing with at all, we can not share the joy of having a child together and now we cannot share the pain of not being able to(to make it worse it now appears the problem is his side now so i dont want to get to emotionally messed up in front of him and him to feel terrible…. also his last girlfriend aborted his child!). so i am very much by myself, you could say i am lucky as i have children in my life but they are teenagers and so obviously not mine -there is no unquestioning love that i see between father and child all the time and i am not expected to care for them or rather am expected not to care-it is not my place. im sorry i started hoping i could be supportive and show you you were not alone but it has turned into a bit of a whinge. one thing i do know is that sometimes pretending to be someone that can deal with it all is the only way to deal with day to day and advenually it will become a little easier i hope! i count my lucky starts everyday for the good luck in life that i do have- this is much more than some people have in the world i know.
with understanding and every best wish. x -
My sister and her hubby have three kids and can't stop complaining and/or bragging about them. She boasts while she's pregnant, then gives birth and boasts for longer for several months–until she figures out how much difficulty she'll have with the child. Then she complains. I honestly doubt my older niece and nephew realize that she loves them–but then, my sis and I don't have a chummy relationship and therefore I am unable to be involved in her kids' lives. I am one who personally would rather have kids in spite of what parents say (ie. "enjoy your intimacy now," and "kids make it worse."). On one hand, I'm not naive enough to think having kids would "fix" things. On the other hand, even if I am changing diapers and cleaning poop, I always dreamt of becoming a mom, and infertility has robbed me of that dream. After more than 3 years of trying to get pregnant and trying to adopt, I'm at a point of giving up and looking at childfree living as our choice. Infertility treatments would be too difficult for us–emotionally and financially–and my DH doesn't feel comfortable yet with the idea of becoming a foster parent (I'm not sure i could handle it, either, to be honest). So it is looking like childfree living is going to be our best bet, even though the thought still devastates me. I just wish people could see how it feels to live for three years waiting for that baby to come who never shows up–neither through pregnancy nor adoption–and would realize that sometimes we have to reach that dream in order to realize that it's not everything it's cracked up to be.
Dear Beauford,
Thank you so much for your comment! I think parenthood is so difficult, and yet very few parents can honestly admit how hard it is. Thank you for your honesty.
I included your comment in this article:
Childlessness and Happiness – Why I'm OK With Being Childless
Laurie -
The grass is always greener. I love my kids but having kids makes your life suck. Enjoy your freedom. Kids have a way of zapping all the meaning out of life. You have to clean up poop all the time, your back hurts all the time, you can't go anywhere, you lose intimacy, you go broke, they do stupid things, your house gets destroyed, they get you sick all the time, vacations are more stressful than your job…
Enjoy your freedom. If it feels like something is missing in your relationship, examine the relationship. Kids won't fill that void, only complete honesty can do that. Kids only make it worse. Parenting is different than people think it is before they have kids. Yes you love your children forever, but everything else in in life ends up sucking.
I'm not a jerk, I'm just honest.
Hope this helps.
Dear Katie,
Thank you for your comment! I understand exactly how you feel: there are good and bad days when thinking about a life without children.
I, too, would much rather have kids than not have kids…but I don't want to live in misery because I didn't get what I want out of life. So, I too pray for happiness and acceptance no matter what happens. Children or no children.
Never give up hope, my friend. My husband doesn't have any sperm, so we have no chance of conceiving (unless God gives us a miracle!). But still, we hope and pray and think maybe one day….and if not, it's okay. Like you, we didn't want to go for treatment after treatment — I tried IUI six times, but it didn't work. I'm 41 now.
Anyway, thanks again – I really appreciate your comments!
Laurie -
…oh and i should have mentioned that i'm 35..almost 36, have been ttc for 3 years and was also 'diagnosed' with unexplained infertility and had 1 failed IUI a year ago at which point we decided we didn't want to be a couple that went for treatment after treatment and decided not to go for any further treatments and just see what life brings us.
Thanks Laurie for your 7 ways to be happy with a childfree life after infertility.
This is exactly what i'm going through right now – my aim for this year is to be happy as we are…happy with the life we have and try not focus on what we have not got.
I had already started to think about number 1 – the benefits of not having children…it was like a light bulb moment for me when i thought about it and having worked as a nanny some years ago i realise how much time and effort kids can be and i now try to believe that perhaps in a way it is best for me to cope with infertility than to cope with being a parent if perhaps i'd find that even more difficult…..well it's one way of looking at the whole situation anyway and in many ways it can make it easier. (i'm by no means saying i'm completely ok with it all the time, there are still good and bad days)
Up until this year i prayed for a pregnancy…..now i pray for happiness in whatever life brings us.
Hi Tanya,
The only way to find out if you can have a child is to keep trying to get pregnant, and to get fertility tests from a doctor. Also, get your husband's sperm checked (male infertility is just as common as female infertility!).
And remember that it takes a year on average for most couples to conceive a child.
Laurie -
Hi There,
I am married for a year and i am 27 years old. I have regular cycle (34 days cycle). Now i am trying to conceive last 1 year with no success. I do ovulate last month as i gave up & checked using OPK. I also using pre-seed. Is it possible for me to have child? What can do next? Thank You.
No problem
Thanks so much for your comment! It seems like I rarely hear from people who are finding ways to be happy with a childfree life after infertility, and I'm glad to hear from you
I hope you don't mind — used some of your comments in a blog post, and linked to your facebook page.
Can Your Marriage Survive Infertility?
I like your Facebook idea, and will become a fan!
Blessings — and best of luck with the fostering.
Thanks for your article Laurie – I really enjoyed it.
We are currently waiting to be placed with long-term foster children (waiting nearly a year), after 13 unsuccessful IVFs and 6 years in total TTC.
I absolutely know it is possible to be happy after infertility – for us, we have even found value, meaning and purpose out of our deep suffering (we feel blessed that we will provide a loving and stable home to kiddies who have had a rocky start to life).
That doesn't mean to say that we don't feel loss or sadness sometimes because we do. It has taken a huge committment on our behalf – years of couples and individual psychotherapy to work through our anger, loss and longing. Being part of a support group has also been instrumental to my healing – helping and supporting others through their infertility journey. I started a facebook page to support others http://www.facebook.com/infertilitycrisis Looking at the benefits of a child free life – all of these things have helped us to heal.
Thank you, Compassionate, for your kind words. I'm grateful for your comments.
While I have started to accept infertility in my life, I can imagine how painful it must be for Cindy to deal with it. We all go through the grieving process in our own way, and at our own pace, and I remember when I felt the way Cindy is feeling now.
TO CINDY: I am sorry to hear that it continues to be difficult for you to deal with a "childfree life" — my heart goes out to you. Please continue to give yourself the necessary time and space to grieve and process your current life situation. In the meantime, I wish you much peace and comfort during this very challenging time…
Hi Jane,
I'm really sorry to hear that you can't have kids of your own, and your husband has kids from a previous marriage…that's really difficult to cope with.
I don't have any easy answers for you — probably because there AREN'T any easy answers for anyone! Coping with a childfree or childless life is difficult no matter what the situation. Maybe it's harder when you see how happy your husband's kids make him…I'd never thought of that situation.
Have you thought of other ways to have a family? Many couples find adoption or fostering children just as fulfilling as having biological children. I know it's not the same; but in some ways, it can be even more fulfilling because you're opening your home to children who don't have families.
I wish you all the best.
So how do you cope when you find out you can't have kids of your own because your husband has become infertile but he already has kids from a previous marriage?
I live every day with a step son. See the joy in my husbands face and know I will never have kids of my own.
Thanks, Nicole. I really appreciate your feedback, and hope Cindy reads your thoughtful message.
I know that many women who can't have kids are heartbroken beyond belief. It's difficult to live in pain like that…and choosing to find happiness in other parts of life isn't easy.
I appreciate the measured response you had the grace to write to Cindy. You recognized that she was coming from a place of pain where she couldn't even see what was obvious to me when I read your article – that you too have struggled with infertility. Like you said, "I'd rather have kids, but I'm happy."
I hope that you can take a moment to reflect that there are many of us other there who experience exactly what you are going through but we don't judge and warp what people say just to make ourselves feel better. Laurie never said that she "found happiness in the fact that she can't have children." She said she is finding it DESPITE it. You might have too also. I did. Good luck to you but either way – be happy! -
Hi Cindy,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, I appreciate it.
I wrote this article, and have been struggling with infertility for three years now. My husband and I have been "forced into a childfree life", but we don't choose to look at it that way.
It's hard, and I'd rather we had kids, but we're happy!
Laurie -
Whoever wrote this nonsense article has never struggled with infertility nor do they have any concept of what it means to be forced into a child free life.
If you think that any of the suggestions listed above are ways to find "happiness" in the fact that you cannot have your own children, you are sadly mistaken.

Get AccessAbstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the biological activities with toxic properties of the methanol, hexane, and chloroform extracts of Cystoseira compressa (Esper) Gerloff & Nizamuddin from the Coast of Urla in the Aegean Sea. The extracts of C. compressa were tested for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities in this study. Cytotoxic and mutagenic potentials of the extracts were also evaluated using cell culture and mutagenicity assays. Hexane extract was found to have higher total flavonoid and phenolic contents than the other extracts and exerted higher antioxidant activity than other extracts. All extracts exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms (minimum inhibitory concentration ranges are 32–256 μg/mL). The results indicated that the extracts had no significant cytotoxic activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep 3B cell line in all treated concentrations (5–50 μg/mL) and did not show mutagenicity in the Ames test. Lethality was not observed among mice treated with oral doses of the extracts. In conclusion, results of investigations indicate that brown alga C. compressa is a natural source of antioxidant. It has moderate antimicrobial activities with no toxicity.

Soundjaw brings alternative to portable speakers
Posted By Kevin C Keller On June 8, 2012 @ 3:33 pm In iPhone,Technology | No Comments
The internal speakers on our smart devices often fail to give us the level of sound we need when moving about in a noisy world.
From iPhones to Nooks, the sleekness of our devices give way to poor placement of speakers, and that in turn hurts the sound quality. However, Denver resident Matthew McLachlan is in the process of developing an accessory that takes the misdirected sound from the speakers and throws it back at the user of the device.
The Soundjaw Unlimited was placed on product startup website kickstarter.com [1] to gather funding. The project has earned over $24,000 from contributors on the website, when the posted goal was for $7,000.
It appears I'm not the only one who thinks my iPhone's speakers are too quiet.
The Soundjaw Unlimited is the second version for a similar product, the Soundjaw [2], which worked only on iPads. That product also was put on kickstater.com, but it only earned a bit over $11,000.
This version of the Soundjaw is supposed to be a bit smaller, but also further curved to increase amplification compared to the previous version.
The device is clipped on the iPhone/iPad/Kindle where the speaker is, and is curved to catch the sound and aim it back at the consumer.
The new Soundjaw is better designed to fit over cases and different devices, according the overview of the project.
This product definitely is a unique alternate to portable speakers and music docks [3] that are commonly found in electronic stores and online. However, it's doubtful it will be able to reach the sound level of those devices.
The original Soundjaw sells for $12.99 [4]. No price is listed for the unlimited version at this time, but you can purchase one by contributing on kickstarter.com.

Transcript |
"Episode VI: Jack and the Warrior Woman" is the sixth episode in the first season of Samurai Jack. Jack is being aided by a strange woman, in his quest to find a powerful jewel that may have been capable of helping both; however was she hiding some ulterior motive...
- There are foreshadowings of Ikra's true self by the end of the episode.
- When the shaman senses the 'ultimate evil', his last line said to Jack, "You don't understand!"
- After Jack and Ikra escape from Aku's robots, the robots simply stop their chase and close their eyes with satisfaction, awaring of a trickery.
- After a mouse feeds food from Jack, the mouse is scared of Ikra and digs itself to run away.
- There is a height difference that Ikra is slightly taller than Jack.
- At the bounty Ikra seemed to enjoy the female belly dancer but when the male one came she seemed disturbed hinting that she's actually male.
- When the jewel tests Jack and Ikra's hearts, it found out that Ikra is pure evil. The guardian mainly tries to fire its blast to Ikra (besides Jack not wanting to fight)
- Near the end, Ikra can fly and becoming a giant to defeat the jewel guardian.
- Aku briefly changes to Ikra's voice by saying his name after his disguise is removed.

Compass Testing FAQ
What is Compass?
The ACT Compass is an untimed, computerized test that helps Azusa Pacific University evaluate your skills and place you into appropriate courses. ACT Compass offers tests in reading, writing, math, writing essay, and English as a Second Language (ESL). You will receive your ACT Compass test results immediately upon completion of testing, and your score report will include placement messages informing you what courses you should take and how to register.
Why do I need to take the Compass?
At APU, we use Compass testing for course placement purposes. Students are identified as candidates for Compass testing based on incoming, qualifying SAT/ACT scores. Please see the Placement Testing Information page for more-detailed information regarding the specific qualifying scores that result in each course placement. If your incoming SAT/ACT scores have qualified you for ENGL 099,* ENGL 100,** MATH 090,*** MATH 091,*** MATH 095,*** or MATH 096,*** we would encourage you to take a Compass placement test in the appropriate subject area(s) as soon as possible, as the placement results will determine the course(s) in which you will be enrolled for your first semester at Azusa Pacific University.
Do I have to take all portions of the Compass exam (like the ACT/SAT), or can I simply schedule the test(s) that apply to me?
You may schedule an appointment to take only the test(s) that apply to you.
If I need to take more than one portion of the Compass exam, do I have to take all of the tests during one sitting?
No, you are able to make multiple appointments to come in and take each portion of the Compass exam separately, or you may schedule an appointment to take all of the tests that you need during one sitting. The choice is up to you.
How do I schedule a Compass test?
You may arrange to take a Compass placement test either at the Learning Enrichment Center, located on the Azusa Pacific University campus in Azusa, California, or you may arrange to take the Compass at a remote location, as arranged through the Learning Enrichment Center. Steps to schedule both options are outlined below.
Steps to schedule a Compass test through the Learning Enrichment Center (LEC) at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa:
- Note which portions of the Compass you need to take (Reading, Writing, and/or Math). If you are unsure, ask the office administrator for assistance when you call the Learning Enrichment Center.
- Call the Learning Enrichment Center at (626) 815-3849 to schedule a time to take the Compass. While the Compass is untimed, please allow for at least one hour to complete each portion of the test that you schedule.
- There is NO FEE for enrolled APU students to take the Compass placement test when you take it on Azusa Pacific's main campus.
- Please remember to bring the following items when you arrive on your test day:
- Current Picture ID
- Graphing Calculator (NOT a TI-89) if you are taking the Math portion of the test. You may also borrow one when you arrive at the LEC if you do not have one of your own.
Steps to schedule the Compass at a remote testing site:
- Visit the ACT Compass website to locate a testing center near you. Please note that you may have to adjust the distance component of the search in order to find an appropriate testing center for you.
- Once you have determined where you would like to take the test, call the LEC at (626) 815-3849. You will be asked for the name of the remote testing site you have selected, as well as general personal information, including your APU-issued Student ID number.
- Please note that you are responsible to pay a small proctoring fee that may be charged by the remote testing site.
How do I prepare for the Compass Exam?
Visit the ACT Compass website to find sample questions, additional downloadable Compass practice material, and helpful test-taking tips and strategies to help you prepare for the exam.
Note: The asterisks following the course listings above indicate that you should schedule the following portions of the Compass exam if you have been placed in the indicated course:
* = Reading
** = Writing
*** = Math

RadarCast is the newest weather app from the people who developed the popular NOAA Hi-Def Radar, but this app brings you future weather predictions along with several other features.
Built for checking the weather around you or at another specific location, RadarCast gives you the latest data from local radar sites using real-time animated weather overlays. There's a lot of room for customization as well. You have the option to look at map, satellite, and hybrid views, and you also can control the weather pattern loop speed, the interval between individual frames, and change the number of frames in weather animations.
What separates RadarCast from the pack is that it also gives you future weather radar up to an hour past the moment you're looking at the app. Though it's obviously a speculative forecast, this means that you'll have a rough idea how the weather will probably behave an hour in advance. A bookmarking feature lets you set up areas that you're in frequently so you can quickly check the future weather for your destination. The app will also show you predicted rain start and stop times for any point on the map.

About GPS Cycle Computers
GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.

Despite the deluge of comic book adaptations that have made their way to the big screen in the last decade, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable remains one of my favorite superhero movies of all time, and proves beyond a doubt that Shyamalan can be an extremely masterful filmmaker when he takes his time with a story and sticks to the basics - like character development - which he overlooked with The Last Airbender. So I was intrigued to see today on MTV's Splashpage the elusive director talking explicitly about a possible sequel to his 2000 thriller and its connection to his planned 'Night Chronicles' trilogy, of which the upcoming Devil is the first part.
"I cannibalized the idea for the sequel to Unbreakable for one of the 'Night Chronicles,' Shyamalan told MTV's Josh Horowitz. "It was such a cool idea for a villain, and it was actually originally in the script for Unbreakable, and it was too much. There were too many villains, so I pulled this villain out and was like, 'I'll make this the second flick.'"
But as time went on, Shyamalan's villain came to be co-opted into his upcoming 'Night Chronicles' trilogy, which he will neither write nor direct, though he conceived the stories and will produce - a smart move after The Last Airbender received such negative criticism. "I fleshed it out more and more, and thought, 'This could be a standalone movie," he continued. "I'll just say it: the third 'Night Chronicles' movie is what would have been the sequel [to Unbreakable]. So now I need to come up with a new idea."
I, for one, hope Shyamalan develops a bad case of writer's block. Unbreakable was a fantastic movie - probably the director's best - but not one that requires a sequel. What made the film great was its hidden (spoilers ahead!) setup: it's a superhero origin story disguised as a slow-paced drama about a failed marriage. What makes the movie work is that we don't realize we're watching Bruce Willis becoming a hero almost until the very end; it's one of the few Shyamalan "gotcha" twists that really works (unlike in The Village). A sequel could only be another superhero movie, which would lack the magic and mystery of the original. Still, I'm intrigued that a character and storyline that Shyamalan had planned for Unbreakable or its sequel will be coming to the screen as the third installment of the director's 'Night Chronicles' project.
Until then, we'll have the trilogy's first installment, Devil, in theaters September 17, followed by Twelve Strangers, a thriller seemingly inspired by Sidney Lumet's Twelve Angry Men - about a jury deliberating a murder case - this time with supernatural elements. You can check out the full MTV interview below:

It seems another NCsoft title is about to face its grim fate as Exteel will be shutting down permanently.
