The Battle for the Golden Egg between the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels doesn't happen for another week.
Prior to the renewal of that college series on the gridiron, the two towns that those institutions call home have high schools teams that play in the postseason tonight.
Quite a bit has changed in French Camp Academy coach Nathan Wright's nine years at the helm, but one thing sticks out for him.
In a repeat of an earlier regular season game, the Eupora Eagles and the Calhoun City Wildcats are set to square off tonight in third round Class 2A gridiron action.
In what is certain to be an electric matchup, the Eagles and Wildcats are set to kickoff at 7 p.m. in Calhoun City.
Bulldog Lanes in Starkville was the site of the season home opener for the Starkville High bowling teams, as the Yellowjackets split 6-6 with opponent Neshoba Central.
"I thought our team did good," SHS bowling coach Jim Philamlee said. "I was especially impressed with their attitude about competition."
The Jackets split their day with the Rockets as each team won three of the six frames.
Starkville High School received word on Thursday that it would once again be a part of the 6A classification, beginning with the 2012-13 school year.
For the last two years, the Yellowjackets have competed athletically in Class 5A and won the All-Sports trophy for that class last year.
In midweek action the Starkville Academy Lady Vols claimed a 46-37 victory over the Jackson Prep Lady Patriots.
"We came out ready to play," Starkville Academy coach Glenn Schmidt said.
In what was a toughly fought battle, the Lady Vols shot 51.5% as they continued their quest for a perfect season moving their record to 6-0 overall and 1-0 divisionally,


text: Palate Press Wine of the Week – Eden Road "The Long Road" Shiraz David Honig June 10, 2012 Tasting Notes The nose hints of Rhone, rather than Oz, with aromas of grilled meat and olives complementing blackberries dusted with graphite. On the palate, blackberries, the smoky charred end of prime rib, olives, pepper, and the tiniest hint of vanilla all show on a multi-layered palate that adds high-toned tart red fruits on the mid-palate and ends with a lingering meaty finish with tart hints around the edges. Tannins are fine but full, acids match. This is a dark, rich, food-friendly wine, a doppelganger for a Northern Rhone. Drink with braised short ribs. Highly Recommended (92-94). DH.

If you went by news coverage alone, youd think theres only one world in the solar system aside from Earth worth studyingand that, of course, is Mars. NASAs Curiosity rover is inching its way across the Red Planets Gale Crater; the Opportunity rover has entered its tenth year of exploration in a region some 5,000 miles (8,000 km) away; and a new rover, named InSight, is on the schedule for a 2016 launch. Why all that attention? In a word, water. Mars had plenty of it once, enough that life might have been able to take hold and could still, in theory, be hanging on in still-wet pockets below the surface.

The Irish Studies Program at Boston College offers courses in history, language, sociology and the arts. Co-directors Robert Savage and Marjorie Howes worked with other instructors to develop a repository where common resources for teaching can be stored, browsed and searched in ways that promote the interdisciplinary vision of the program. Featured content will include images and rare texts drawn from faculty members' collections and the BC Libraries, as well as resources gathered for exhibits and other special events.
This repository was developed by Instructional Design and eTeaching Services staff, using the open-source content management system Drupal and applying custom graphics, including images of the stained glass in the Irish Windows Room in the Bapst Library. Program assistants were instrumental in adding and organizing content to develop the site. Because much of the material is under copyright, access is limited to instructors in the program.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

A thief steals a high-priced stereo speaker from a south Tulsa Target, and the store's surveillance cameras caught him in the act.
CRIME STOPPERS ALERT: Jordan Sigli, 13, shot at north Tulsa birthday party, killer on the loose
TULSA - Like many grandparents, Janet Phipps couldn't be more proud of her grandson.
"He was energetic. Crack of dawn he was out the door, riding his go cart," said Janet.
Fun-loving and a good student, by all accounts 13-year-old Jordan Sigli was a great kid.
His was not the kind of life you would expect to end in tragedy.
"It's a child. His life ended," said Janet. "He didn't have a chance to grow up or go to middle school or get married or anything. His life was cut short."
Cut short by a bullet.
On May 20, 2012, a friend's mom took Jordan to a birthday party at Tanzi Sports Bar in north Tulsa.
He never made it inside.
RELATED STORY - 13-year-old shot at birthday party dies in hospital (http://bit.ly/may20js)
Police say when Jordan stepped out of the car he was immediately hit by the gunfire, screaming out to his friends, "I've been shot."
"They were just shooting into the crowd," said Janet.
Someone in another car opened fire, seemingly firing at random.
A bullet ricocheted off a car door, hitting Jordan in the heart.
Two days later he died at the hospital.
"This was a 13-year-old boy," said Jill Roberson of the Tulsa Police Department's Crime Stoppers Unit. "His life was taken way too soon."
But more than a year later, police still don't know who did it.
The shooter drove off and some witnesses claim they didn't fully realize what happened.
"Maybe they didn't know someone was shot at that time, but we think they do know who was in that vehicle shooting," said Roberson.
The witnesses gave different descriptions of the suspect vehicle, making the investigation difficult for police.
While the family waits for an arrest there is a place they can find peace, a tree planted in Jordan's honor outside his school, Emerson Elementary in north Tulsa.
It's a new life just beginning, to remember another cut way too short.
If you have any information or tip that could help police, contact Crimestoppers (http://bit.ly/TulsaCrimeStoppers). You do not have to give your name.
Tips that lead to an arrest could result in a reward of up to $1,500.
Police Need Your Help
A thief steals a high-priced stereo speaker from a south Tulsa Target, and the store's surveillance cameras caught him in the act.
A Tulsa woman everyone called kind and caring was found stabbed to death in her west Tulsa home. Three years later the question remains; who would want her dead?
Three months ago, Wayne Bell was gunned down while taking out the trash and police still aren't sure why.
A 91-year-old man was hit and killed on a Tulsa highway, and more than three years later the search for the person who did it continues.
A suspect plays hide and seek to steal from a west Tulsa Subway.
It was like any other Monday evening in June for the employees at a north Tulsa AutoZone. But the store's surveillance video shows this normal night was about to become anything but.
It's the night 20-year-old Vincent Ajeh feared was coming. The night somebody would kill him.
A Tulsa teenager was found stabbed to death in her very own home and four months later the question remains, who did it?
A Tulsa woman with a disability disappears, and there's concern someone may be taking advantage of her.
Running a simple errand turned into a nightmare for one Tulsa woman after she was carjacked in a drug store parking lot. Police are still looking for the suspect.

Jalopnik has stated that the Camaro Z28 isn't quite as dead as many have thought after the big unveiling of the 2012 Camaro ZL1. It looks as if GM is still listening to what people may want from a revived Z28. Many people wanted the Z28 to be what the ZL1 is, but if we take a look at what the Z28 originally was, it might make more sense to go with the thought of a lighter, more nimble version of the SS, rather than the powerful Supercharged 6.2 that is in the ZL1.
The Z28 was originally built as a way for Chevy to gain acceptance into the Trans Am series. A smaller V8, stiffer suspension and a diet made the Z28 one of the most successful Trans Am cars on the track. With the revived 5th Generation Camaro, it might make sense to put the Z28 in the spot it started at… a weekend corner carver for someone who still likes the grunt of a V8. In addition to appealing to a race-inspired audience, this potential route could also help to keep Camaro in the racing scene. There have been some Camaro entries in the Grand Am Series, but having a better base platform could aid in some independent owners (or even Official GM Teams) to enter into Grand Am or other series.
In reality, who knows what GM will come up with for their blueprint of the new Z28, but looking at the market and history just shoehorning in more horsepower might not be the best route to take.

Questions? Call us!
Sunscreen products are rated according to their ability to prevent reddening of the skin for a period of 24 hours after sun exposure. Although it is well known that sunscreens do protect against skin reddening, their ability to protect against melanoma (the most dangerous form of skin cancer) is not clearly known.
When human skin is exposed to excess UV light from the sun, the body produces a substance called nitric oxide (NO). NO causes dilation of blood vessels at the skin surface, resulting in increased blood flow and reddening effect. NO is also an important immunoregulatory molecule that stimulates a natural anti-tumor immune response to UV light.
Researchers from the VA Medical Center in Memphis, TN measured the ability of five sunscreen preparations to inhibit NO production upon UV exposure in vitro. Four of the five suncreens tested directly inhibited NO production.
The authors conclude that, although sunscreens may in part prevent against reddening of the skin by blocking UV rays, another major mechanism of action includes blocking NO production. Skin reddening due to increased NO production is one of the human bodies' natural warning signs and it is a defense mechanism against UV induced sun damage. The authors conclude that, although sunscreen use is effective at reducing sun-induced reddening of the skin, its use may actually promote melanoma rather than prevent it.

Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services has a team dedicated to supporting Morrisons and, with a combination of onsite and offsite teams, we receive a very high level of service," said Jonathan Walsh, management and information systems manager, Morrisons.
Morrisons worked with Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services to implement Oracle Exadata within an aggressive six-month timeframe. A short proof of concept demonstrated high levels of compression and potential for batch processing improvement.
Oracle ran several workshops with Morrisons to demonstrate the necessary steps between delivering the machines and the go-live date. By drawing on Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services' knowledge and expertise, Morrisons achieved a successful implementation.
Morrisons migrated its entire legacy database to Oracle Exadata. Oracle Advanced Customer Support Services provided best practice guidance and advice throughout the project to assist Morrisons' technical teams with installing and configuring applications onto the Oracle Exadata platform and implementing a new backup and restore solution.

If you've been arrested for DUI, or even if you haven't, you may have heard the terms "Administrative License Revocation" or "Administrative License Suspension"- both sound fairly bureaucratic, but they could mean serious trouble for your future behind the wheel. On this page, we'll provide an overview of these sometimes confusing penalties.
The Administrative License Suspension (ALS) is an immediate, automatic suspension of your driver's license, typically for one of two offenses: (1) refusal of a breath test or (2) violation of the standard BAC legal limit of 0.08 percent during a breath test.
Regardless of whether or not your DUI arrest or DUI charge results in a conviction, these sanctions will be placed on you immediately. In many states, you may request a hearing to reinstate driving privileges, either entirely or for work purposes, and this is typically handled at the state department of motor vehicles (though in some states it occurs before a judge).
All states impose some form of penalty or sanction for DUI convictions as well, typically in some combination of jail time, fine and license suspension. Other states also mandate other DUI penalties, including installation of ignition interlock devices, vehicle seizure, community service, probation and/or many others. See the DUI Penalties page for more detailed information on possible DUI penalties in your state.
For the most specific information regarding DUI arrests and penalties, including ALS automatic penalties, speak with a DUI attorney practicing in your area.
Did you know you can challenge your breath test or the testimony of the arresting officer? If successful, you may be able to weaken the case against you. A DUI lawyer can advise you on these defenses and help you handle your DUI case.
All you have to do to get in touch with a local DUI attorney as soon as possible is simply fill out our free DUI case evaluation form or call 1 (877) 349-1311, and we'll connect you with a local DUI lawyer who can evaluate your case.

Iraqi Christians face danger; some say it was better under Saddam
By Judith Sudilovsky
Catholic News Service
AMMAN, Jordan (CNS) -- Seen as allies of the West, Christians and their institutions have become targets of extremist Islamic groups in Iraq, say Iraqi Christians.
"Christians are facing a big problem in Iraq. Maybe all Iraqis are facing big problems, but I am talking about the Christians now," said Ra'ed Bahou, the Pontifical Mission for Palestine's regional director for Jordan and Iraq.
Saddam Hussein's regime -- no matter how cruel and despotic -- kept the lid on any sectarian violence, said one Iraqi Catholic refugee in Jordan, who asked that his name not be used. He said Saddam, a secular leader, was especially good for Christians, as long as they stayed out of the way.
"Saddam (controlled) everything. Nobody could say anything bad especially (about) us Christians," he said. "Christians in the Middle East are very good people. We are peace-loving people."
Another refugee said that after years of living in fear and daily bombings many Iraqi Christians felt they were actually safer with Saddam.
"We are getting tired. When Saddam was in power there was no fighting. Saddam loved the Christians. We were safer with Saddam; now we just leave the country," he said.
Christians make up about 5 percent of the 1.5 million Iraqi refugees in Jordan, said Bahou, whose agency is under the auspices of the New York-based Catholic Near East Welfare Association.
Most of the Christians in Iraq were part of the middle class and had a relatively good standard of living before the war, Bahou said. Like most Christians in the Middle East, they devoted a lot of their time to their children and their education.
"When there is a threat (against) their children's lives, they leave Iraq," he said. "People are leaving for their children."
At least six Iraqi priests have been kidnapped and five Christian churches bombed in the past few years. At first the Islamic extremists targeted mainly Christians, but now they have turned against each other, said one relief official who works with the Iraqi refugees.
"In the end there will be no Iraq," she said.
Bahou said he was "not optimistic about what is going on demographically."
"Before there used to be 1 million Christians in Iraq; now there are only half a million left. Everything is changing, and it will never be like it was before," he said.
With only one Chaldean Catholic priest attending to the pastoral needs of the Chaldean refugees in Amman, many Iraqi Catholic refugees have had to find their place within the churches of different rites. Jordanian churches have never been so full, said Bahou, and worshippers must come early to find a seat at Sunday Mass.
Through the Franciscan Sisters of Mary, the Pontifical Mission in Jordan has sponsored a catechism training program for Iraqi religious educators who have remained in Iraq. For at least three years, workshops were held four times a year, twice in Jordan and twice in Iraq, in coordination with Chaldean Archbishop Louis Sako of Kirkuk. Religious experts from Lebanon also take part in the meetings, said Bahou.
"Last year we held the two workshops in Amman but we were not able to hold it in Iraq because of the political situation," Bahou said. Nevertheless, he said, "outside contact is very important" for the Christian religious community in Iraq.
In addition, with so many Iraqis now living in Jordan, keeping the lines of communication open with their religious and spiritual leadership in Iraq becomes very important, Bahou said.

Hubby doesn't know how to handle it...but he did say he wanted to do the bloodwork. It can cost $500 out of pocket but it can be done in the next 2 weeks so it gives you an answer early...
I am totally distraught. I also think the Prometrium (Progesterone) is what is causing the nausea to be so bad. So it is like a false pregnancy symptom....I asked the Dr yesterday if I should discontinue it...because I don't want to delay the inevitable or cause my body to hold on to a pregnancy that is doomed or bound to be born and the baby suffers from health problems. He said no not to stop just yet, wait another couple of weeks until we do further testing. He thinks the Prometrium isn't going to stop a miscarriage if it is inevitable....but I have read that it can. So I don't know....
Thanks so much for the support, friends. It definitely means a lot. I haven't told many people so I am not able to talk to many people about this. I have told some close friends. But no family.....so your support means a great deal! xx
Ok now I'm off to check this high AMH reading out - 68 is way above the normal... I'm hoping its not a bad thing, it said on the sheet it could be an indicator for pcos....
me 40, DH 40, one (TTC since November 2012) At least one confirmed chem.Ivf #1 march 2014 - 6 day 6 blasts, bfn, 4 frosties. Ivf #2 may, cancelled, Ivf #3 July two transferred, 3 frosties... BFP! Scan at 6+4 wks - twins!! Feeling more blessed than words!
Probably nothing though, you may just have a great ovarian reserve :-)
Chuord I hope you just have an amazing ovarian reserve too, but good for you for being proactive and getting it checked out.
Chuord -- I'm with the others. If you're ovulating, having regular cycles, and don't have other PCOS symptoms, then I think there's every reason to be optimistic that you have oodles of good eggies in there. Your numbers wouldn't be too far off for a woman a few years younger with good fertility prospects. Is your doc going to be doing other testing?
Wengrin -- You're dealing with the kind of worry no mom should ever have to. I think you and DH are smart to have testing done sooner rather than later, so you at least know better what the situation is. Will you be having another ultrasound before the Harmony test? I'll add my voice to the others in saying that we are here for you. It's a horrible thing to go through. I haven't dealt with quite the same situation, but we had a bad early screen with DD and had to wait until after the amnio to know if she was going to be okay. We're here to be an ear for as long as we can help.
AFM, I had my intake phone call with the nurse today. It was fine, just giving her information. It's always weird sharing such personal things ("Have you been physically or sexually abused? Ever attempted suicide?") with a stranger over the phone. I have my first appointment scheduled for two weeks from today. The nurse said they should be able to do a bedside ultrasound that day, since I said that I definitely wanted a 1st trimester ultrasound. I'll be about seven and a half weeks. I've felt pretty yucky today, which could be hormones or could be the kids' cold finally finding me.
Have a good night, folks.
Oxford - I'm not sure they did a full spectrum? They tested: iron 22, AMH 68.6, tibc 52, trans sat 42, ferritin 106, IgA 0.9 (under the range)
I read that the high AMH was an indicator for insulin resistance... Ranee said that feels right for me... So now I'm freaking out just a bit...
Thanks for all the reassurance, but since I'm double the top end range in AMH I'm assuming there's an issue if some sort. Lol why can't we just have a happy news month without the worries
Hugs all round, primal look after yourself - if you are getting that cold I hope it doesn't get you badly.
Wengrin, I'm hoping for the 40%!! Praying for the best and some peace for you!
In fact, praying for all of you with sicknesses and worries.
Afm, we're still ttc, no news here.
Hi, there. I'm brand new to trying for a pregnancy and to the forum. I like the idea of a "saner" TTC board so I hope it's OK if I join in.
I'm 35 and have never been pregnant. This is our first cycle trying. I'm in the TWW and I think I'm 10 DPO but don't want to get too crazy with the testing. I look forward to getting to know you ladies and learning as I go.
Chuord- probably best to get a fertility check. LH/FSH, androgens and an ultrasound. It's good to check those things are in order anyway. You may get the reassurance that everything is fine. If it is pcos, there are lots of things you can do not just drugs, so at least you will then be tackling the issue that will lead to your BFP. It is so worrying not knowing though, big hugs to you.
Wengrin- I was thinking about you all night. I hope you have found a corner of calm to take some respite. Please be gentle with yourself.
Primal- those questions are weird, is there any specific reason? Are they concerned that there could be physical injury or are they just caring for the whole person and any psychological trauma? It does feel very strange, especially over the phone! Good news that you have some care.
Faith- lovely to hear from you. How are things with you? Are you keeping your zen?!
Lovely- welcome, I hope your journey is short to a BFP.
Mamablue- how are you doing? All calm?
Afm- it's CD10 over here. Tmi warning!!
Yesterday I had unusually large amounts of EWCM! I think that's a good sign :-) hopefully the drugs are balancing my hormones and the estrogen is fighting through. Usually I have a couple of days of scant EWCM, but this moth it is earlier and more. Apart from yesterday, we have been BDind every day, so there is hope! DH has been wonderful lately, I seeing how upset I was over my tests and diagnosis, then how ill I have been getting used to the new drugs, it has really brought it all home to him. The least he can do is BD a lot!! ;-) and to be honest, I think he is kind if enjoying his role in doing his bit!!! Anyway hopefully O will arrive in the next few days and I will have a bang in normal cycle this month. Last month I couldn't try because of all the nasty dye and my body performed a text book 39 day cycle, I'm hoping it happens again this month and O is good an strong. Ladies, I am back in the game!! :-)
Welcome lovely if you are new to the game this is a great place lol lots of experience and knowledge with these lovely ladies!
Oxford - thanks, I have settled myself down a bit... Got a sinus headache lol... And eaten a lot less sugar today - albeit in dried fruit etc - but still sugar right I'm seeing the expert mid December - hopefully my gp can order more tests so he has more to go on..
I'm so excited for you, it feels like your body only needed the tiniest tweak... I know either primal or Wengrin said weeks ago they had a great feeling for you that much ewcm is fantastic lol (men would be horrified if they read these convos...) and I'm impressed with your dh, generally we seem to have a bunch of caring guys - lucky us keep us posted on as many details as you can bare, I'm so excited to hear what's next...
Wengrin - hugs to get you through my night time...
Primal - hope you are still doing well and are avoiding that cold.
Mamablue - how's your world?
Mares - how's the house hunting? And have you been in contact with the inlaws? I hope they are behaving
That is a gorgeous big BFP! You must be over the moon.
Have you told DH yet? How are you planning to tell him? :-)
Chuord- thanks for your encouragement. I'm hoping things are changing for me. Also, this is my first month of trying after my dye test, so hopefully the jet wash for my tubes has helped a bit too. Today I'm starting to feel more back to normal in mind and body. My nausea has subsided, I just need to keep a more careful eye on my blood sugar and eat the right things very frequently. Mentally I am over the shock and starting to have more hope that the drugs wil help. Nice to be moving forwards again.
Chuord, in so pleased you have your specialist appointment coming up. I really would recommend a full blood test to take with you, the specialist read loads into mine. Also has DH had a sperm analysis yet? Mine wasn't too keen but after seeing what I have out myself through he say the least he can do is <<blank>> in a tube!! Lol. It's really important to look at everything and make sure you get a totally clean bill of health or they spot the exact problem and give you effective help. I hope you are not feeling too anxious about it sweetie.
Wengrin- you are still on my mind. All positive vibes are being flung acros the Atlantic towards you. I hope they are arriving safely.
Mamblue- are you ok my friend? I'm a little concerned after your anxious post. I hope you are off enjoying yourself. Let us know you are ok, or shout if you need to talk. ;-)
Congrats Faith!! That is a BFP! Happy for you!
Oxford I got tickled over your abundant EWCM! Men really would die is they read our thoughts...lol. So glad you are feeling back to normal and hubby is being so kind. That is huge!
Primal, that does sound like a crazy phone call with the nurse. I hate the way they talk about our personal lives like it is text in a file. I don't think I have never been asked anything that extreme but I have had really odd questions and impersonal conversations and hung up feeling blah. Hoping that you get your ultrasound and have some solid peace of mind
Anyway I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know I really appreciate all of your kind words. It means a lot. I am doing okay. I have had a terrible feeling today that I am getting ready to miscarry. I keep getting sharp pains and twinges. I haven't started bleeding....just my instinct. I don't know....I would be relieved if there was a chromosomal defect. I wouldn't want a baby to suffer. A friend of ours from a small group we belong to has a baby that just turned 2 mos and has trisomy 13. The doctors warned the couple that the baby wouldn't likely see his first birthday but he has made it this far. She gives us updates and talks about his breathing difficulty and how it is painful to watch him struggle....that would kill me. So if this is not a healthy pregnancy I am praying that nature will take its course.
Chuord, I'm hoping that you just need an extra boost from the specialist. I imagine that your ovarian reserve is pretty good at your age. I always wondered if I had PCOS but have never had it diagnosed. I know I am ovulating though...but I've always had blood sugar issues and craved starches and carbs over protein. I have to force myself to eat protein usually. So something is off. I also had gestational diabetes with DS, although I ended up being just barely within the normal limits so I didn't have to test my entire pregnancy or do shots or anything. But I am glad you're seeing the specialist. That is great!
I am sort of coming to peace that if I lose this pregnancy, I might hang up my uterus. Ha....seriously I just might be grateful for the 2 blessings that I have and also my 2 bonus kids (step-children). We certainly have a house full at times.....I don't think I want to roll the dice again and risk an unhealthy pregnancy. Either way I will still stay active on the board because I think no matter where we are in our life we all can benefit from sharing our experiences.
Take care all. :-)
Wengrin - I wish there was something I could do for you in person... My only suggestion is that right now may not be the right time to think so hard about the future? Although I could be wrong and you may be having great clarity right now
I so hope you are wrong and that all is well, but your body probably knows best... Ok enough typing I'm going to do some energy work on you xxx
Hey ladies,
I noticed that someone finally started a new thread and wanted to stop by and say hi. It's great to see that this community is still alive, I got so much support from hanging out here when I was TTC.
Chuord, I'm happy and sad to see you're still here. I sincerely wish you a BFP and a healthy, happy baby soon!
I don't know some of you other ladies but it looks like you've got a great thing going. Baby dust to all of you.
I hope you will join us on the other side in the Zen Parenting thread when you're ready!
We welcomed our baby boy on September 20th, he'll be 11 weeks on Friday! I will say the first 6 weeks are a steep learning curve but he's gradually becoming easier to read and my confidence as a new mom is increasing little by little as well. It takes a lot of faith and believing in yourself when you become a parent. Good luck to you, chuord! And feel free to PM me anytime.
Chuord, that sounds like quite a interesting doctor's visit you have lined up for your husband! It's truly amazing what the capabilities are for testing nowadays—I feel like our parents missed out. Awesome unintentional planning on the appointment date! Also, I'm super unfamiliar with AMH but I'm going to try my best to follow along in your journey!
Also, Chuord, Wengrin—my mom went through breast cancer in 2011... not fun. Still battling the treatment side-effects. But she is kickin! The emotional effects of it are the most notable from the outside.
Primal, it sounds like you've had a wide variety of experiences. People can be so thoughtless sometimes and say quite the opposite of a comforting word when that's what they're going for. And then other times they're just royal boobs who have terrible bedside manner. Hoping this one is a good experience. I hope the new OB works out!
Wengrin—I admire you for your strength! I can only imagine the journey you've gone through in the past few days to arrive on your positive mindset. Whatever happens and whatever you decide to do from there I hope you are happy, healthy and at peace!
mamaBlue, I hope everything is going well over there! how many weeks are you now?
Oxford, awesome that you're back in the game! DH was watching me chart my cm (not sampling.... just charting) about a month ago (much to my warning) and was thoroughly grossed out. Bahahahahah
AFM : I woke DH up and told him about 5 minutes after that post. I told him I have a late...err early anniversary gift (it would be completely in my nature to be late anyway). If it was the first day I had a positive OPK, we're due on our anniversary, but it may have been 9 days later... I had a bunch of positive OPKS for a good bit there, but then I ran out. I'm anywhere from 12 to 21 DPO. I'm guessing the latter since it's so dark, but something strange I noticed: I started OPKs on the 12 and ran out on the 22, and had positives on the 12, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22. I had a bfn at home on the 11th and on at the doc's on the 15th (i was getting some really weird dizziness that they said was an inner ear thing).
He laughed and said, "Wow, really..? That's just a little late..." Then I held out the test and said, "do you know what this means?" Then he got excited :D Still sleepy, but excited.
It definitely hasn't set in for me yet. I'm not sure I believe it. My bosses and I ("the management team") have a big yearly planning meeting tomorrow that I'm sure will involve enough staff and future planning for me to feel kind of jerkish if I don't tell them I'm going to need to be out partway through the year and then part time after that (if at all). We're a really small team, too. I can't decide if I should tell them yet or not. One of my bosses saw I was stressed on Saturday and wrote me this really sweet note that had a strangely prophetic front, "There is a miracle living inside of you", then a totally normal and mild interior message. I'm really afraid of the pregnancy not lasting though, and while I'm close to them and wouldn't mind them knowing, I just don't know how I would bring it up if I end up miscarrying.
Also, I apologize for my really weird timing, being "that person" that pops back on and immediately finds out she's pregnant. I was wondering last night, as I was sipping the pickle juice out of the jar (I kid you not. but hereagain not so strange from my normal) but seriously thought it was my head and realized I missed you guys as a support. That said, I'm so glad I could share it with you all.
Re work - nice choice to have to make so early... If it were me and I trusted them to support not hinder - I would let them know, or maybe pick one to tell as a tester?
Chuord I bet that must be so hilarious....taking a "sample" in with you. I bet for men that must be really tough, too. My DH would do it but I can imagine he would be nervous. He doesn't like it when the spotlight is on him. I guess if I made him laugh it would take some of the edge off. But I can imagine it must be hard. Even though as women we go through so much poking and prodding and have everything out there, they just don't do as well with that type of openness. (Mine at least.) I think the more sensitive and in touch your DH is the better. My Dad is very emotionally in touch and would be much more open about doing something like that, I think. Every guy is different. Hope your DH feels as good as he can about the idea! So great that you're going in 3 days after AF! That is perfect timing. So you can take comfort knowing you have a back-up plan. :-). Also thank you for sending positive energy my way!! I need it...
Also Dakipode congrats on welcoming your baby! Yes the first time you bring a baby home is quite the challenge but also soooo sweet. You will be amazed how you learn to read their cues and build a closer and stronger emotional bond each time you meet their need or soothe them. It is the most amazing thing. The first 3 months are a steep learning curve but it gets much easier and they start sleeping better (usually) so I bet you will notice a difference by the end of the year and feel even more confident. Congrats!
I had cramping on and off yesterday but no bleeding yet. I have been so incredibly nauseous and I hate knowing that the Progesterone that I am taking is causing it...I talked to hubby about whether I should just stop taking it and see what happens and he thinks I should. But the Dr said not to give up just yet. He doesn't think the Progesterone will prevent the inevitable but I have read that it can prolong it and keep your symptoms going even though there is a problem. So I am torn.
Hubby stayed home from work today to help me. The laundry was piling up and things at home needed to be done. So he did a lot last night and then offered to stay home today and I about jumped on him. It has been so hard feeling so yucky and being completely depressed and taking care of a 2 year old. We normally have a playgroup that we meet up with, but I just don't feel comfortable going and having to explain all of this to a large group. Even though they're all friends, it is just a sad situation and I don't want to be in a big group environment just yet, until I have some closure. Plus I am just sort of waiting for the blood to flow honestly. I wondered yesterday when we went grocery shopping when it would happen....I realized I needed to stock up on some heavy flow supplies just in case. (Sigh) So anyway it is great to have him home today. We are taking the kids to see The Nutcracker ballet on Saturday. Hopefully I will feel better. Yesterday I was just dry heaving (sorry TMI) with nothing in my stomach. I think I have lost a few pounds too. My tummy has gone down. So then of course I wonder if that means I am not pregnant anymore....if my body is shutting it down. I don't know. I know I am not eating very much and most often can't hold down what I do eat, so maybe that is it. I just have to feel better soon. This constant malaise and nausea is the absolute worst. It feels like the worst college hangover ever.....every single day.
I hope everyone is doing well today. Take care!
I am going part time in 1 January to reduce my stress and hopefully help TTC- yes I am taking this very seriously!!! I hope it will help. Anyway, my point is, that even dropping to 3 days a week I've already been written off in small ways that I really didn't expect. Things I used to have an input to, now I don't get asked. It's like they have written me off already. I imagine there is a risk of that in your situation. However you must do what you feel is right and that is most authentic and aligned to your beliefs. I'm sure you will make the right decision for you. Great to hear you have supportive colleagues though!
Wengrin- be gentle on your self. I hear you tussling with what to do and what is right and reason everything through in your intelligent mind that is used to knowing the answer. Scarily this time, only your body knows, but it does know so trust. There's no time limit here and no responsibility to get it right. Give yourself some space and lots of love. I feel your pressure. Great that DH is helping out, make sure you tell him what you need and be kind to yourself. It must be so tough being in the centre of all this uncertainty and having a toddler to care for. You can go back to being brilliant at everything when you are through this uncertain time and you know what's happening, in the meantime please give yourself a break. You are fabulous and I wish you lived nearer to take you out for tea and cake ;-)
Chuord- men do take this stuff sentinels don't they? Over here men have to give their sample at the hospital. The waiting room is the same as the fertility clinic so you see all the men looking so so nervous and out of place. My DH told me about the room they take them to with a small couch, a dimmed table lamp and a pile of dirty mags!!!! Lol. Luckily we could laugh about it all. On a serious note though, when his results came back ok, he said he was relieved not to have the "you're only half a man" conversation. It reminded me how this is so core to their masculinity and self esteem so we should be gentle.
Still, all the tests I have had have been much more painful and intrusive!!!!!!
Good for you for taking him along and finding out what's what. What date is your appointment and we can all send you some good vibes?
Over here, my CM has dried up today and a temp rise so I think o was yesterday, will wait and see. We bd last night and then two days before, so should be covered. I will keep DH on the job though as cd 12 would be early for me. A regular cycle is 30 days so this would be 27. Entirely possible. Maybe my body is making up for the 39 and 43 day cycles it have me in autumn!! I don't care as long as an egg actually appears. Hopefully it will tango with the sperm supply and we're in business!!!
Bad day at work today so in hanging out and trying to distract myself! I better go so something. Best wishes to you all :-)
Also tea and cake sounds divine! If only this world weren't so large. :-)
Yes I am struggling with not knowing....it is so hard to wait and be unsure if the heart has stopped beating or if by a fluke chance everything is fine. I am preparing myself for the most likely outcome and then if by chance it meant nothing then I will be surprised. But I am already planning on feeling better soon, not being pregnant....trying to find some positives in the midst of my despair. I certainly am sick of being sick though, and not being able to keep up with our normal routine. Even DD (she is at her dads until the weekend) but I feel bad for her. She can tell something is bothering me but I am not going to weigh her down with this uncertainty...I will tell her of course once we know something but for now I am just not myself and it is not fair to her and DS. I think I am also beating myself up because my identity is largely tied up in being a mama and taking care of my family...I have barely been able to take care of myself and pick up dinners or order out. And the laundry piling up was a painful reminder of the job that I am not doing. My senses tell me to cut myself a break and not beat myself up, and I am really trying to allow myself time to feel better and recover, but the monkey-mind voice in my head has other opinions.
I messaged someone from the mothering site (not this group but on another thread) who I found had been through the diagnosis of enlarged yolk sac....she was so kind and wrote me back, shared her experience with me, and was honest and didn't try to sugar coat the situation. She ended up miscarrying...her baby's heart stopped beating around the same gestation that I will be over the next 2 weeks. I know there are people who end up with nothing to worry about, but it is not the usual outcome. So I think it helps if I prepare myself for the most likely outcome and hope for the best.
I am sorry for the pity party...I am trying to think positive but it is too painful to set myself up for that kind of blow. Sigh...anyway:
Chuord I had no idea they have the man come in and prepare the sample on site!! That must be hilarious. They provide dirty magazines!?! How funny is that. I just assumed that you could bring one in with you. I guess they need a fresh batch to analyze....I guess that makes sense because the sperm probably die off as time passes. Yes, men....their masculinity is so important to them. It is something we have to be very careful with. I know Oxford you have certainly subjected yourself to wayyyy more invasive tests. That is why women give birth and men don't. They just couldn't handle all of that. But there are many things that men and their tough masculinity can swallow that would make me cry. So we do have very different roles.
I am still chuckling over the thought of the men going to the fertility clinic and looking so nervous and out of place. The dim light and couch!! Oh gosh thanks for the laugh, Oxford. I needed that! :-)
Faith - there is heaps of sense in Wengrin and oxfords comments - I haven't had to tell any of my bosses that so Ive never seen the change of attitude.
Wengrin and Oxford - lol so much re the seedy couch! Lucky for dh he can bring his with him, it just has to be 2 hours or less old it frequently cracks me up about men and the fact their entire manliness resides in that organ... Lol can you even imagine them giving birth hehehe... I know Wengrin they have other strengths - but lol!
appointment should be fun (17-12) he advertises himself as someone who can bring humour into the toughest conversation, specializes in older women and has many same sex couples - obviously we are not that but I love the friendly vibe he gives off - plus someone G knows used him after a bad first experience elsewhere... I didn't mention that when I rang for an appointment the next opening was in June next year... So I jokingly said 'if I wait till then I'll be 40' at which point she found me a cancellation lol - obviously I fit the emergency category
Oxford - I'm both happy for you cutting back on work - and sad that they are treating you that way... I like honesty and trust and you're right the corporate world is full of 'climbers' that don't really care. Woohoo for early o! Have you been temping? I must confess I have... I came to the conclusion that for me it helps with my zen lol.
Wengrin - I did a session yesterday and all I can tell you is that your energy is beautiful - I mean national geographic beautiful... I saw an image not dissimilar to a whales geometric shape, a unified collection of energy that had beautiful flow and movement. I got the impression that it was your body - and although it enjoyed the energy, it is already on the right course of action... Everything felt gentle, caring and yet strong and resolved. I got a huge impression of it being trustworthy and totally on your side... I know it sounds weird (no surprise from me lol) and I try not to share the bits I get while doing energy... But for you regardless of the outcome - trust your body to be doing exactly what is right for you, it is an amazing entity.
Primal, mamablue, mares - ladies please let us know all is well? I miss hearing from you
Afm - I'm still feeling at peace with this cycle and positive... I had a sharp but mild twinge yesterday 6dpo a tiny pink bit in my creamy last night (tmi sorry) and a temp drop today... Also some dull achey pains... Just keeping you up to date
That is great that your DH escaped the seedy couch....lol. Your fertility specialist sounds very warm and relaxed, which is great.
Thanks, Oxford. :-)
I am doing okay. I am considering calling the doctors office tomorrow or Monday and explain that I am having pretty bad cramps. I know that would earn me an office visit and a scan! I thought about that....it is just torture waiting a full 2 weeks to know if something is failing. I know I need to just relax and wait, but it really is torturous. This is only thinking about myself but it is still my thought...what if the pregnancy has ended but my body isn't recognizing it because I am pumping it full of progesterone. Meanwhile that progesterone is making me SO sick and if I knew that I was miscarrying or already miscarried then at least I could stop the progesterone and get on the road to feeling better eventually. I have eaten chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers every day. I am so ready to feel somewhat normal again.

CNU CITY SPOTLIGHT: Cleveland's Agricultural Form
This post is part of a new series on the CNU Salons, CITY SPOTLIGHT. City Spotlight shines a light on the latest news, developments and initiatives occurring in cities and towns where CNU members live and work.
The below post is a City Spotlight on the nascent urban agriculture movement afoot in Cleveland, OH, and comes courtesy via CNU mainstay Bruce Donnelly.
Cleveland is enthusiastically developing prominent urban farms. Perhaps it is time to decide how prominent they should be.
Under Cleveland's three-year-old Sustainable Cleveland 2019 project, Cleveland needs the public's help to meet sustainable food goals, including a 100-mile farm-to-fork goal of 25% by 2030. In order to reach its goals, the City has to popularize food production. The more recently developed projects, then, use urban design to catch the eye.
Developing enthusiasm is part of Cleveland's funding process. The City of Cleveland and the major nonprofit funders (the Gund Foundation and the Cleveland Foundation) want to make sure that the incentives and money they give will catalyze self-supporting projects, so they need to enlist the strong infrastructure of local community development corporations, or CDCs. For example, two years ago, the USDA, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, the City of Cleveland, and Ohio State University partnered on an Urban Agriculture Incubator Pilot Project(pdf) which is designed to demonstrate a path to urban agriculture. The project is a model for making urban agriculture a way of life, so it isn't just a practical project on a piece of land. It has to help people reimagine Cleveland as a community of gardens. It has to be visible.
A small example is "The Vineyards at Chateau Hough." It grows 300 vines at the intersection of East 66th and Hough Avenue. Hough Avenue is the beloved flashpoint of the 1966 Hough Riots. East 66th Street is an access route to the soon-to-be restored and redeveloped League Park, which was the home of the Negro American League's Cleveland Buckeyes. There may be no more strategically located corner to remind residents that they have the power to rebuild their city. Yet, the street remains undefined spatially.
View Larger Map
Green City Growers' $17 million, 3½-acre greenhouse, is rotated to the street grid, possibly in an attempt at jauntiness. It is at the intersection of a major radial (Kinsman Road), a major north-south street, and a shortcut to an expressway. It is also very close to the planned Opportunity Corridor to University Circle. It is so prominent that the site's enormous cost of its brownfield site may be justified by advertising alone.
Farther out on Kinsman, the Urban Agriculture Innovation Zone is a 26-acre Urban incubator Pilot Project by Burten, Bell, Carr Development Inc., with the African-American-owned Rid-All Green Partnership.(pdf) It will be an integrated agricultural complex—with small leased farms, greenhouses, and tilapia—located on an important, populated corridor. The zone is in a neighborhood that is almost completely rebuilding its housing and institutions. It locates a nodule of hope exactly where it is needed most. On the other hand, it is located just south of railroad tracks that isolate a truly forgotten section of Cleveland fabric. If the idea had been to reuse land that had no other realistic use, then the area to the north would have been more appropriate. It is a showcase, though. It will include both a farmer's market along Kinsman and a training center, patterned after Will Allen's Growing Power, Inc.
On the other side of the city, the Ohio City Farm is located further from a main route, but perhaps nearly so, since its farm stand faces a parking lot for the West Side Market and West 25th Street shops. The small farm occupies the site of a 2002 Charter Awards winner, the Riverview HOPE VI Housing project. The farm probably represents the highest use of the land, since anything heavy on the unstable land would slide into the Cuyahoga River.
Ohio City Farm
Another greenhouse project, Community Greenhouse Partners' on Superior Avenue, is well defined by tall trees on the Superior side. Unfortunately, it edges into the neighborhood fabric at East 67th Street and Edna Avenue, in front of the Hell's Angels motorcycle club. That corner is thoroughly undefined physically. Moreover, it is immediately adjacent to Superior Avenue, which is a very important, transit-served route.
There are urban agriculture projects that are more retiring. One illustrates the need to make gardens somewhat prominent. The 93-year-old Ben Franklin Garden is fully integrated into its neighborhood. Unlike the Urban Agriculture Innovation Zone, it is located 1/8th of a mile from the nearest major street, so it doesn't eat into its pedestrian shed dramatically. It bounded by a school, the backs of houses, and on only one side by street trees. The garden has been quietly successful for nearly a century—to the point of obscurity. Few people on the street two blocks seem to know what it is.
View Larger Map
There are also functional initiatives that can work either for or against coherent urbanism. There are 25 new community supported agriculture ("CSA") programs.1 The "Gardening for Greenbacks" program provides grants as incentives to grow and use local produce. Cleveland also amended the zoning for agriculture. The City's "Chickens and bees" ordinance predated Sustainable Cleveland 2019 by a year. Two separate amendments also allow agriculture as a principal use in residential areas(pdf) and create an "Urban Garden" zoning district.(pdf) The residential zoning provides important protections for urban agriculture (including the right to sell food from stands). The new district allows community gardens to be permanent, rather than just an interim use until the land is redeveloped for its "highest and best use." It has significant tax consequences. The city has a dozen farmers' markets, and it has had farmers' markets and public markets for its entire existence. These do not necessarily require a permanent location, and can be easily integrated into neighborhood settings.
If the city and the funders insist they follow the principles of good urbanism, these tools can be used to support neighborhoods. Fortunately, the City Planning Commission is aware of the problem. The 2020 Citywide Plan takes these issues of connectivity and land use into account. Yet, its eight ideas for vacant land reuse (pdf) sends a mixed message. On one hand, it prioritizes certain livable nodes for "stabilization"* (pg 7) rather than demolition, but on the other, one of its criteria for selecting locations for urban agriculture is land "Within 1/4 mile of transit lines."**(pg 12) As Christopher Weber has observed in Grist, urban farms get so big, both in size and in aggregate that they can dilute the communities they are meant to serve. As New Urbanists, we know of course that things change, and it's entirely possible that land near transit could be re-zoned back to higher-density use.
On one hand, simple principles may support good urban form: "don't eat into pedestrian sheds," "shape the street space," and so on. On the other hand, we need to let urban agriculture advertise itself. Even when it takes hold, it requires either farmers' markets or visibility to attract CSA subscriptions. And there are other models to use. Some of these are found in New Urbanist publications,2 and some are commonsense. Cleveland is fertile ground for both.
1CSAs are a new way to fund agriculture, using methods such as subscriptions to support it rather than ordinary market sales.

The Beauty Junkee is a Beauty Blog for Filipinas. I empower women one makeup product at a time and inspire you to be the best version of yourself.
Nice review.
I had eyeliner pen by Essence, but different model and I was not very satisfied. This one looks more pigmented and better quality. Hope they improved pens ;)
How timely can this be? I was just thinking about grabbing a waterproof eyeliner for our swimming this weekend. Haha :) I did a double-take when I saw the price. Definitely grabbing this!
For its price, it's not bad especially because I'm still learning to line my eyes. Thanks for the review!
The bluish tint makes it look very permanent-marker looking, parang pentel pen.
I really like Essence cosmetics. They're quite affordable and seeing that will do well for those who doesn't have oily lids, it'll be a good, cheaper alternative to KPalette/Clio. :)
wow, ok na yan para sa mga non oily girls. for me, id stick siguro to kpalette (have yet to try it though). im so super sure na magssmudge saken yan lalo pa't im an oil mine! hahaahhaha
Hhmmm intrigued with this.. I might try :) ang mura nakakatuwa :)
Makeup De Mon: Same sentiments! :)
Sincere: Yup! Super affordable! :D
Eloise: Same here. But this works as an emergency eyeliner though, when I run out of k-palette. :D
Rae: Haha! Never thought of that, but now that you've mentioned it, it's so true. :D
Yette: Yup, perfect for non- oily lids. For oily lids, best to go for k-palette. :D
Kris: Yup! :) It comes in different types too so you might wanna check them out as well. :)
BrownOso: Go dear! Let me know how it works for you! :D
I have hooded eyes...huhu...and nothing as in NOTHING stayed on after 4hours not even with UD and Kpalette :( I really am thinking about having eyeliner tattoo :)
Nice review Ms M! Very affordable and yet delivers...good one!
