Can I just make a random vent here?
I have 2 friends IRL who know my whole history. So I mention to both of them independently that we'd really like to get to 4 embryos on ice and them we'd put them back. They both assumed we'd put all 4 back at once. Are people f'ing nuts?!?!! No one does that. Besides the fact that my problem is RPL, why in the world would we risk all of the embryos on a potential miscarriage?!?!!? sET is extremely reasonable in our situation. I get that people who've never been through it (they haven't) have only ever heard of octomom, but seriously?!!?!! Don't people know that her and her doc are certifiably insane???? That he lost his license and literally no doc would EVER do that.
Ok. Rant over.
Oh Oh now I get it. Thanks for the explanation RCR. Yeah! you got 3 and hopefully just as many the next time if not more. Keep us posted!
Tracy- Sorry. Yes, I meant if I did 4 IVF cycles and each time got just one high quality blastocyst. And after all that, knowing my biggest problem was pregnancy loss, putting all 4 blastocysts back at the same time as an FET. I think if I did that, that would be extremely foolish. I want details on your FET cycle!!!!! I gotta start learning about them!
AFM- My follow up doc appointment is next Monday. We'll probably add Saizen which is Human Growth Hormone. Has anyone added that to their cycle before?

Hi everyone! I left one post in the infertility forum but someone pm'd me (thanks!!) that there is more activity in this forum. Please add me in here.
TTC #1 since 4/2012. Me: 29yrs DH: 29yrs. HSG test normal, hormone levels normal, DH issues with morphology.
I got all of my tests back and everything with me seems to be normal. DH had one semen analysis that showed low normal sperm with some problems in morphology - other aspects of the analysis were normal. They said his levels are right on the edge of normal. He is doing a repeat analysis next week to see if the results are replicable or if there may be any changes. He also had a testicular ultrasound, but we have not received the results of that yet. He is having trouble with the fact that it's a problem on his end, but I am hopeful that now that we know why it's taking so long that we can figure out where to go from here. I guess the next step after the new analysis is to go to an infertility specialist and see what they say. Based on the brief research I've done, I am thinking they will suggest IUI, but I guess we'll see.
In the current cycle, I am waiting to O, it should be any day now. We have been able to try a little less this month since we were traveling. I guess I should be hopeful that since DH's sperm issues are near normal that we can conceive on our own, but I am feeling less and less like it's going to happen without intervention. I guess that helps stress levels, "knowing" that it won't happen instead of getting all excited that it will and then devastated when I get a BFN. Praying for some answers and a plan of where to go from here.
Praying for all of you as well!
Me (29) & DH (29) 9.5 years together, 2 years married, TTC since 4/2012.

Hi marcyse - it sounds like your husband's sperm is in the "borderline" category, which would (hopefully) make you a good candidate for IUI!
Hello to everybody else! Sorry I haven't been posting much. We're going to do a sperm donor IUI in August, we did the counsellor consultation yesterday (mandatory in BC) and I'm sending the consent forms in today. DH chose the donor, he wanted somebody smart with a science background. I would have gone for tall with curly hair (like DH!) but I think it's better if he has the final say on this.
X - Sorry to make you nervous. I didn't mean to. Maybe I was a fluke - I have been around here for a long time and have seen lots of people have good luck with treating NK cells. Plus I don't have nearly as many losses as you do - just one m/c - so maybe my NK cells were not as high as yours, or maybe they changed. I had the same problem as you though - high progesterone. I had two canceled IVF cycles because my progesterone rose too soon. It rose too soon in a few IUI cycles too but we pressed ahead with those. When I was at Sher in Vegas they didn't even test for progesterone because they didn't see it as an issue. I don't really understand that. Anyway, for this FET I actually did way less than normal. I even drank a bit. I honestly didn't think it would work, but I was hoping that it would (of course), and since it was free we decided that we had nothing to loose by doing it. I did take prenatels (not that the folic acid matters much - I am just hoping that the donor mom took it). I didn't do accupuncture this time. I didn't even eat anything special. So who knows.

Oh Laggie..Im so excited about your new adventure. And I am glad you are feeling better and nice to hear form you!!!
Hi Marcyse!!!!!!!! Did you ovulate yet?
Laggie, that is so exciting that you are able to move forward with donor sperm. I hope all goes well for your IUI cycle.

Laggie- that sounds wonderful! Sorry, I forget, will you be doing IVF or IUI with the donor sperm. I think it's a good idea that DH gets to pick it. Then it's "his" and he can feel confident he's really making this big step. So happy for you guys. What's your next steps?
RCR- I still don't have any great answers. This last cycle my progesterone was perfect?!?!! I was shocked. I really thought that was part of the answer, but maybe not.
AFM - I go to another specialist on Monday who will recheck everything. And that's fine with me. I'll also have the follow up with my RE. I'm mostly curious as to why/how only 3 out of the 6 mature eggs fertilized.

How is everyone doing these day? I am still 2 weeks from starting my FET cycle so I have nothing interesting to report!
Xerxella - how did your appointments go?
Marcyse - did you end up ovulating when you thought? Good luck!
Laggie - I hope donor sperm works for you! Having DH choose the donor seems like a great way to get him connected to the baby!
Tracy - how are you doing? What's new?
dandelionrflowers - did you have your retrieval yet? how did it go?
indie - are you currently cycling?
AFM - All the royal baby stuff on the news is just nauseating. Will & Kate are the exact same age as me, but I had already started seeing a fertility specialist when they got married. I feel as jealous as if it was one of my own friends.
I wanted to share with you guys a cool picture I saw recently that describes so much of our lives. What do we say when someone asks how we are doing? I almost always say fine, but usually it couldn't be farther from the truth... though the good news is, right now I really do feel fine (when I'm not reading news about the royal baby haha)!

Sourire, that is exactly how I am feeling..FINE! Starting herbal happy pills soon ..today so hopefully I really will be fine. Life has thrown me a bit and I need a little assistance. Infertility just really sucks. Glad you are doing better these days.
Tracy- How's the new house going?
AFM- How am I? I'm fine. Just kidding. No big surprises. The doc offered a different protocol, the micro dose lupron flare protocol. But it would start with BCPs for 2 weeks. Last time I took BCP, the cycle was an absolute disaster. Maybe it'd be better with the lupron flare angle, but I'm not really interested in risking it. So we agreed to just do the same protocol again. We'll start at a higher follistim dose of 450iu and add in Saizen which is human growth hormone. But other than that, we'll just do it again. I'd be thrilled to get 3 blasts again. More would be awesome, but even just one would be a success in my book.
So now I need to ovulate and everything and hopefully 3 weeks from now-ish we'll start again.

Xerxella - I don't know anything about Saizen and human growth hormone. I'm sure an increased dose of Follistim will help! I'm wishing you some unexpected additional embryos for your next cycle! I'll have to check out some of those parodies about the royal baby!
AFM - since I don't have any updates fertility wise let me tell you about all the fun things I've been doing with my summer that are making the time just fly by! Last year we bought a house with a beautiful inground pool, but last summer we didn't get much use out of it because the water was too cold for my taste. This spring we installed a pool heater and we've been loving swimming in nice warm water ever since! Every weekend we invite over friends or family (only those who aren't pregnant or have young kids) for swimming and barbecues! Last week I invited over 20 of my coworkers after work (since my house is 5 minutes from the office) and we had a wild pool party. I've been doing a lot of gardening too. I got to enjoy some lovely strawberries in June, and now we're starting to harvest amazing raspberries, blueberries, cucumbers and snow peas. And in a few weeks we are going to have an absolute deluge of tomatoes! I enjoy gardening in my bathing suit on hot days, so I can jump into the pool every 10 minutes to cool off. In August my sister and her bf and my parents are coming to visit for a few weeks, I'm so excited! I don't get to see my sister very often since she lives in Switzerland. We'll be going on a road trip to a place about 6 hours east of here where we will be doing whale watching on the St-Lawrence seaway... I'm super excited about that since I have never seen a live whale. I don't want this summer to ever end :)

Things have been such a whirlwind. I've been commuting to chicago for monitoring and that consumed a lot of time, 6 hours round trip. Here is what has been happening...
at baseline ultrasound I had 8 follicle on the right and 7 on left
7/13 - started 20 units lupron (am & pm)
7/14-7/16 - 20 units lupron (am & pm), 375units of follitistim, 5 units low dose HCG
(L=11 follicles less than 6mm, R=7 follicles less than 5mm)
7/17-7/18 - 20 units lupron (am & pm), 375units of follitistim
(L=2@9mm and 9 less than 8mm, R=1@9 and 6 less than 8mm)
7/19-7/20 - 20 units lupron (am & pm), 300units of follitistim
(L= 2x13mm, 2x12mm, 11mm, 9mm, 6smaller, R= 14mm, 12mm, 11 mm, 10mm, 2x6mm)
7/21 - estrogen shot up to over 1800- 20 units lupron (am & pm), 275 units of follitism, 5 units low dose HCG
7/22 - 20 units lupron (am & pm), 150 units follitism (am), 125 units follistim & 5 units low dose HCG (pm)
7/23 - 20 units lupron (am), 175 units follitism, trigger at 10:30pm
(Forgot to get follicle sizes)
7/25 - retrieval. They got 9 good size and 1 smaller...
Waiting to hear from them now. The transfer will either be Sunday or Tuesday.
They just keep telling me everything looks good. I'm trying to trust them. This whole process is teaching me that I can't schedule and learn everything... That I need to let go. It's really hard. Any thoughts on the above?
Dandelion- I'm in Chicago! Who are you going to? Where do you live? Is that the lupron flare protocol? Congrats on 10 eggs! That's great! It's ok to ask questions. Let us know what they say! It's great to hear the details of everyone's cycle.

Xerxella - I am going to Advanced Fertility of Chicago, Dr Sherbahn. We live in Weyauwega, WI... It's about 30min west of Appleton, WI. Imagine that, I am driving *this* close to another IVF sister from this board! :)
Dandelion - 9 eggs! That's great, especially 9 mature out of 10. I think that's a really good sign that your cycle worked the way it was supposed to.
Sourire - your backyard sounds like a wonderful place to be right now.
AF should arrive any day now and despite my usual insane ideas hopes of a free baby, I'm looking forward to trying the donor sperm. I just got the results back from the embryo pathology report on my last miscarriage, and it was trisomy 22. The Dr. says this is caused by the egg, so I am hoping that my eggs will do better when they are allowed to mature naturally rather than with the IVF drugs. I don't know if that's wishful thinking or not... we were tested for translocations and both came back clear, so I assume that it wasn't caused by an underlying genetic problem.
I just found two different studies that say that genetic abnormalities (aneuploid sperm) are common in men with fertility problems. I don't understand why we've always been told the opposite by the RE. Here is one of them, if anybody is interested: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12735865#
Laggie- <3
Got the call from the doc yesterday afternoon.
Officially, we have 10 eggs and of those 8 were mature. 7 fertilized. That seems good to me! They really don't let on if it's good or bad. They are calling back this afternoon.
dandelionsrflowers~ That sounds great to me too...congrats!!!
Laggie~ I am really excited about your new journey in getting pregnant. Please keep us posted. Did AF come?
As for me...
They called Sunday morning to say they were all still growing good and that we would be having a day 5 transfer. That's tomorrow! At 11am. They didn't update me on how the embryos were doing though
Any advice on how to make the progesterone shots more... Barable?
Dandelion - Good luck, tomorrow! I haven't gone through any of that yet so I don't have any advice, just prayers and good thoughts!
sourire - I'm pretty jealous of your backyard haven. It sounds wonderful. DH and I just finished our deck project and have only relaxed out there a bit since it has been very hot this summer (this week has been pretty cool, though). Wish I had a pool and a garden with all those delicious treats!
laggie - I hope that you have good luck with the donor sperm and that your eggs get the chance to mature. Good luck! Keep us posted for AF - she always comes when you are least prepared...
AFM - I am confused and sad and emotional. The last thing that we knew was that my hormone levels and HSG were good and that DH had everything good with his sperm but morphology. They referred us to a urologist who basically just wanted him to get another semen analysis and a testicular ultrasound before moving on to an RE. The ultrasound was all good and the new semen analysis is completely normal. I was so excited at this news.. but DH was not... because now we don't know why we're not getting pregnant. I was happy that nothing is wrong, but now I feel like we're back at square one. I asked DH how he felt about going to the center for fertility and RE (if he wanted to go or just keep trying) and he said that he is sick of trying and being disappointed - he wanted an appointment right away. I think we were both getting excited at the prospect of being able to do an IUI or ICSI or something due to morphology and now we just don't know. AF is due tomorrow and my temps have dropped the last two days, so that doesn't help and neither does the fact that we went to a baby shower (co-ed bbq) with a bunch of DH's high school friends who all have babies and well intentioned family members probing us on when we are going to have kids. Only the parents-to-be know about our struggles, so we had to do a lot of lying to pretend we are happy with the fact that we don't have kids right now. We have a consultation appointment next Tuesday - here's hoping for some new direction...

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6
dandelion - I hope your transfer went well! How many embryos did you put in? I only took the progesterone shots for 1 cycle so I'm by no means a pro. I would have DH inject me while I was lying on my stomach and usually I'd read a book or check Facebook on my phone while he did the injection so that I could keep my mind off the size of that needle! Other than that DH would gently massage the area a little after the injection and then I'd put a hot water bottle on it.
Laggie - I hope AF shows up soon!
marcyse - sorry for the normal results! When you're infertile the best thing is always to find a problem that's easily fixable. However just because all your test results are normal doesn't mean that IUI or IVF wouldn't help you... reproductive medicine is still a work in progress and there are tons of things that we still don't understand and some stuff that the doctors don't really bother testing for! For example you could have hostile cervical mucous that would prevent your DH's semen from reaching your eggs... in which case IUI would help a lot! Or your eggs could have a really hard shell that presents the sperm from fertilizing them, in which case you could do ICSI! Or you could have an immunological implantation problem. A lot of fertility problems don't get discovered until you've gone through a few steps of fertility treatments, or sometimes they never get discovered at all. What I'm trying to say is that people with "unexplained infertility" often do have something causing their infertility but the doctors either don't think it's worth testing for or don't know how to test for it or can't test for it. Going to a fertility clinic sounds like the right step though!
AFM - I've been on Lupron for 7 weeks now, and my FET cycle starts in exactly 1 week! I've been taking a low dose of estrogen and progesterone with the Lupron to reduce the Lupron side effects (mainly hot flashes), but the hormones were causing me to have spotting on and off all the time. I got tired of all the spotting so last week I quit the estrogen and progesterone. Within 24 hours of stopping those meds my hot flashes had increased from once every 4 hours to once every 30 minutes, so I'm having 8 times as many hot flashes now! Also I've been feeling like a crazy person with irrational anger and crying. I hadn't realised how much the estrogen and progesterone were helping me! At least my spotting has finally stopped, now I just have to suck it up for 1 more week of hot flashes and mood swings.

Dandelion~ I HOPE YOUR TRANSFER WNET WELL AND YOU ARE RESTING!!! As far as the shots, I always used a heating pad afterwards on my bum and a little ice on the spot before the injection.
Sourie~ Hot flashes suck! Sorry you'll have to deal with it for one more week. How exciting that your transfer is in one week!
laggie~ AF yet?????Don't wear a pad todya either..lol
AFM` moving Wednesday,excited and starting adoption process in the next couple of weeks. We are just going to have to get pur babies this way and I am feeling optimistic!
tracy - actually my transfer is August 22, but I start the meds for the FET in 1 week. I'm sorry to hear you're looking into adoption, I guess that means that your FET this month didn't work out? Hugs to you. I hope the adoption process doesn't take too long and that you get a beautiful baby to complete your family. Good luck with the big move tomorrow! Will you still be living with family or did you find your own place now?

Sorry it's taken me so long to finally read the last chapters! You did such a great job on this. :)
| Poetrygirl21 chapter 11 . 6/23/2013
I loved the whole story! And I can believe how controlling Mika was.
| CopperboomLulu chapter 11 . 5/10/2013
Wow...That was so amazing! I enjoyed reading this so much! Thank you so very much for posting every single chapter! :)
| emptyboxes chapter 11 . 5/1/2013
The end... I'm so sad it's over...
This is one of my favorite fics around here.
Your writing is amazing, and the plot twist was really surprising.
I hope you'll write something new soon!

Well, what can I say? This was just brilliant. I am of course very sad to see this is the end, but what an ending! The little twist with the Trials was completely unexpected, but it worked perfectly. Once again you captured the character's behaviour and personalities very well, and pulled off the entire thing brilliantly. This has definitely become one of my favourite stories on here. I was totally hooked on the plot, in love with the situations you put the characters in, and of course beyond pleased with all the A/L moments :)
Your descriptions of the Trials were wonderful. The only thing I'd say is that the injuries Arra sustained seemed to be shrugged off rather easily. For example, being mauled by the lion and then the next chapter barely mentioning it. I know it's not a huge deal, but that was something I noticed. It didn't put off from the story, and I understand why you didn't linger on them, and I'm certainly not complaining about them, but that would be my observation :)
I really do hope to see another story from you soon. You're a brilliant writer and it would be a real shame if this was your last story.
| emptyboxes chapter 10 . 4/28/2013
This. Was. Awesome.
I just love it when larten is embarrassed! Haha
Seba is so hilarious
Loved it!
Update soon!
| rowanrawr chapter 10 . 4/28/2013
Another update?! I'm loving this sudden burst of new stuff from you!
I'm very glad this wasn't the last chapter. Though it was very good (and very funny!) I love this story too much for it to end, haha. I'm intrigued as to what Mika and Arrow are up to though. And you pulled Seba off perfectly. The whole thing was great!
Definitely can't wait for the next chapter!
| 0oSilveryBlueo0 chapter 9 . 1/16/2013
This is my favourite chapter so far! I loved the way you wrote the trial, I could picture the whole thing while I read!
I'm glad there are more chapters coming. Hope to see this updated soon!
| A person chapter 9 . 1/16/2013
Great chapter!
I missed your fic, it's one of the few still worth reading.
Hope you'll update soon,

| notwisefox chapter 9 . 1/16/2013
That was AWESOME! The description of the trial was amazing, and I loved that it wasn't what I had been expecting. It was really good :)
And I'm very, very glad that this isn't the last chapter! Of course it ended perfectly, but I can't wait to see the next chapter!
Well done!
| A person chapter 8 . 1/8/2013
Please please please continue!
I haven't seen a larten/arra fic in ages, and I really love yours.
It's realistic, thrilling and touching without being sticky.
So, I hope you'll update soon!
The a person
| Christine chapter 8 . 12/12/2012
YAY! I almost didn't believe my eyes when I seen this updated! I loved the chapter, it has kept up the good standard of the previous ones and you made it cute without being out of character. Loved it! I've not been on here in ages (probably since your last update) and this is one of my favourite stories, certainly one of the few that I've actually cared to read on here in a while. So please finish it!
| notwisefox chapter 8 . 12/5/2012
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THIS UPDATED! I was starting to think all the A\L writers had vanished, but here you are!
This was just so, so perfect and adorable. And I love how you've made Arra seem so vulnerable and caring :)
I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait for the next chapter!
| notwisefox chapter 7 . 1/19/2012
I loved that ending! It was so so cute :D I thought you got Larten's emotions just right, and everyone's for that matter :P The Trail was interesting too, good descriptions and links to the books :)
Can't wait to see more!
| SUSHI -still too lazy to login chapter 7 . 1/18/2012
Awww! I loved this chapter! So much! First, so glad Arra chose Crepsley :) For a second I thought you'd change it, and do Mika/Arra. Second, the imagery was awesome. I could just imagine it. I think I say this too much, but everyone is just so in character, and it doesn't even feel like I'm reading a fanfic anymore.
It just made my day a little better that you updated like, 3 times today? I enjoy every chapter! Keep writing :)

It's time for some more Off THEIR Minds. This is were we ask comic book writers and artists the big (and not so big) questions. For a superhero, having a great secret identity can be crucial. Their personal lives and the safety of friends and family could depend on it. This was also a topic I addressed back in April of this year. I touched on the topics of wearing glasses, having a day job and not letting your mask mess up your hair. Now we turn the camera onto the comic book professionals to hear what they think on this matter.
It always comes back to the glasses. And to be fair, Superman isn't the only one that has used glasses. Wonder Woman, Superboy, Power Girl and others have given it a try as well.
While we're on the subject of glasses, Last year, I brought up the idea of glasses and those little masks. Are they really enough to protect a secret identity. Check out this older video in case you missed it the first time around.
What do you think makes the best secret identity? You have to admit that Billy Batson and Big Bertha have some pretty good ones.

Huge numbers, actually.
Supposedly huge numbers but not enough or not with enough intensity to change the political discourse.
I know that both the Liberal and Conservative parties in Canada supported an occupation that has led to many innocents getting killed, but you don't hear about it on Canada's national news; I hear it on US news like Bill Moyers.

Tigers extend 'Battle' streak in OT thriller
PORTLAND - The only explanation is that drama is in the blood of the football players from Carroll and Gregory-Portland high schools.
The boys proved it again Friday night in the 36th installment of the "Battle of the Bridge."
The Tigers claimed the ballgame again in overtime, only this time it took just one extra session. Tim Hawkins, who scored last year's game-winner in the third overtime, connected with a leaping Adrian Torres on a 22-yard scoring pass. The unbeaten Tigers' Ferrington Macon then recovered a G-P fumble at the Wildcats' 9-yard line to secure the 39-32 victory at Wildcat Stadium.
Carroll (3-0) had to rally from a 29-14 deficit at halftime.
The Wildcats (1-2) literally ran roughshod over the Tigers, accumulating 435 of their 458 yards on the ground. Holden Rios (8 carries, 123 yards) and Derek Parker (9-120) paced the attack.
But big plays went the way of the Tigers, who finished with 461 yards of offense - 240 in the second half. Hawkins, who passed for 189 yards and ran for another 170, scored on a 67-yard run to open the second half, bringing the Tigers within 29-21. Jonathan Velasco answered with a 19-yard field goal for G-P, which consumed 7 minutes, 5 seconds off the clock.
But Hawkins and Shawn McBride hooked up on a 56-yard scoring pass. Hawkins added the 2-point conversion, and the Tigers were within 32-29.
The Tigers then put together their own extended drive, taking 6:02 off the clock before Adam Ramos' 19-yard field goal capped an 84-yard drive to tie the game at 32.
G-P still leads in the overall series 19-16-1 but hasn't beaten Carroll since 2004. That includes the Tigers' 27-21, triple-overtime victory last year.
Carroll needed just three plays before Hawkins found Torres with the scoring pass in OT.
The Wildcats converted a third-and-6 on Joey Sanchez's 12-yard run to the 9. But on the next play, the ball squirted loose on the handoff exchange, and Macon covered the ball.
G-P ran at will in the opening 24 minutes, amassing 292 yards on the ground and utilizing two Carroll turnovers to take the 29-14 lead. The Wildcats needed only six plays to march 72 yards for their first score, Sanchez's 7-yard run at the 8:52 mark of the first quarter.
Later in the quarter, Raymond Cortez gathered in a tipped Hawkins pass at Carroll's 26 and raced into the end zone for another G-P score and a 14-0 lead.
The Tigers finally got their passing game in shape on the next series, with Hawkins completing three of four passes for 45 yards. Anthony Davis, who had 100 yards rushing in regulation but lost it on a 3-yard loss in OT, took care of the rest. He covered the final 25 to cap the 79-yard drive to cut G-P's lead to 14-7.
Carroll seemingly had the Wildcats pinned as the first half ended. But on the first play of the second quarter, Parker bounced around left end and rumbled 81 yards untouched for G-P's third TD.
Hawkins answered with a 61-yard, scrambling scoring run, but it was reduced to a 19-yard gain after Carroll was penalized for clipping. The Tigers got nothing from that possession.
The Wildcats converted after Davis' fumble that was recovered by Aldo Acosta.
In seven plays, G-P moved 59 yards. Jacob Jimenez, a transfer from the Valley who became eligible to play Friday, scored from a yard out.
Travis Wright's run on the botched point-after try increased G-P's lead to 29-14.
Carroll closed within 29-14 on Davis second scoring run, a 39-yarder with 2 minutes to play in the half.

As of Friday, January 11, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Richard Howell doesn't mind all the attention going to his more heralded North Carolina State teammates. The senior is focused on ensuring his team meets its potential as an Atlantic Coast Conference contender.
The 6-foot-8 forward who played at Central Gwinnett and Wheeler high schools is providing interior toughness and relentless rebounding for the No. 20 Wolfpack. And heading into today's home game against top-ranked Duke, Howell doesn't want N.C. State to squander any opportunity to claim the league title it was picked to win in the preseason.
"I just feel like it's my last year and I can't go out there with the same intensity I went out with last year," Howell said. "I don't want to look back and say, 'Damn, I could've played this game a little harder.' At the end of the game, I want to know that I did my best and went as hard as I could every second I was on the floor."
That attitude has been invaluable for the Wolfpack (13-2, 2-0). On a team with preseason ACC player of the year C.J. Leslie, preseason all-conference pick Lorenzo Brown and projected rookie of the year Rodney Purvis, Howell's presence inside has been critical.
He's started every game of the past two seasons for N.C. State, which has won nine straight and has the chance for its first 3-0 ACC start since the 1988-89 season.
Second-year coach Mark Gottfried motivated Howell to shed 20 pounds and get in better shape before last season, which Howell closed with a 16-rebound performance against Kansas in the NCAA round of 16. Now Howell has added a more vocal leadership role, including promising Gottfried after a 20-point loss to Oklahoma State in November that he would "never let my team come out and play like that again."
"He's just doing a lot more things," Gottfried said. "And he's a senior. He steps up. I've always felt like seniors, they approach things a little differently when they're a senior. They start to realize that this is it, no matter what -- this is their last year. Things start to matter a little more than sometimes they do when they're younger."
Howell is averaging 12.7 points and 9.9 rebounds while shooting nearly 63 percent from the floor. He has eight double-doubles on the season and pulled down a career-high 19 rebounds against Norfolk State on Dec. 15.
"He just adds a dimension to our game," senior guard Scott Wood said. "It makes it that much better, just being determined to go find the ball and having the knack to get a rebound when we need it is huge."
Howell's presence alongside Leslie will give the Wolfpack the ability to counter Duke center Mason Plumlee, while the Blue Devils (15-0, 2-0) will be short-handed up front with 6-10 forward Ryan Kelly out indefinitely with a foot injury.
"We've got to box him out," Plumlee said. "Sometimes his best shot is a missed shot because he just goes and gets it and gets closer to the basket. He's a tough player, plays physical and he's a high-motor guy inside and around the basket."
Howell said he didn't start playing organized basketball until middle school because he was focused on playing football as a running back growing up. It explains some of his physical style, from muscling up shots in traffic to beating opponents to rebounds despite the fact he isn't a high flyer.
"I just think it's all about heart," Howell said. "If I'm in the right position or even if I'm not in the right position, I feel if you just want the ball half the time and you have the desire to go get it, then you can get it. ... You've just got to go take it even if they're trying to block you."
But Howell has also had to control that style to stay out of foul trouble, a frequent problem last season that often left him sitting for long stretches. Gottfried said the coaches have worked with Howell on understanding when to gamble for a steal or rebound and when to back off.
Howell fouled out in both of N.C. State's only losses this year to Oklahoma State and Michigan, and played 19 or fewer minutes in both games.
Howell said the tactics include assistant coach Rob Moxley shouting his name from across the practice court every time he starts to reach on defense. He laughed it off, but was quick to say he's more comfortable when everyone's not focusing on him.
"I'm not one that kind of likes all the attention," he said. "I want to do good for my team. Whether it's me or someone on my team, I just want someone to get that credit."

its weird cos i have this 'competitive' clothing thing going on with my sis-in-law we are the same age with a difference of a few months and i feel i have to dress up around her cos she always notices what im wearing and i can feel her looking at my style. The same goes for me, i dont know if she feels she has to dress up but when i see her i look at her style and if theres something i like i might go out and buy the same but never wear it around her! Its not an evil jealousy i think its more of an envious thing, theres one thing i have to say though my dressing has improved!! so i guess some competitiveness is good as it makes us strive to do better..

it sure has some pros & cons. I think its a very good way to motivate yourself as long as you can control your feelings but it gets nasty once you're controlled by them

i am one of the least competitive people i know. i never have seen how someone else having something means there is "less" available for me. if you always do your best, meaning your best at that moment and you have bad moments, that's all anyone can do. everyone has different resources and talents; that's just how it is. i'm bringing naughty back :naughty_elves:

" but primarily fuel mileage for an open road cruiser."
IF fuel consumption is a major factor for you A sidecar outfit isn't where to look.
My Ural which I don't run above 60 mph gets about 28-34 mpgs depending on road, load etc. A buds 200x Electraglide w/ factory chair gets 25 mpgs. Buds Goldwing w/chair gets 18 mpgs. Another bud w/hacked 1200GS gets about 30-32 mpgs. A neighbors 07 Enfield w/cozy car does pretty good at 40 mpgs but it'll only run at a steady 40-45 mph. Just from my talking to folks with sidecars I figure adding a chair to a solo you can expect about 1/4 to 1/3 less mpgs than you got as a solo especially if hwy speeds are your intended use. Building a sidecar outfit for good fuel consumption and hwy use seems counter productive to me. If I were to build an outfit for local use I'd consider an evo Sportster or 650 klr. For hwy flying probably an oilhead GS. In any case adding a chair is going to give you a substantial hit in fuel consumption. PS: above numbers are all on the camel piss government mandated gasoline(E10).
Good luck.

Re: The Amazing and Remarkable Monica Niculescu
Well I hope the court is fast for Monica's sake. But it is a huge advantage getting into the main draw with a couple of qualie wins under your belt. And LDL is the kind of player I can see giving Monica a lot of trouble on clay. She will certainly get a lot of balls back and I can see LDL winning the battle to keep the error count low. On top of that Monica's results the last couple of months have been poor.
In short, to be completely honest, I'm not optimistic about this match. But Monica is sometimes a hard player to predict what she will do and I would never doubt her ability to surprise me.

You can tank 6 of 8 instances with 3 buttons, I have done it as it gets me groups faster and I have the gear, so 2 buttons should be more than enough for a DPS.
I'm not lazy and get props even in this game but it is pretty optimal. The mechanics and scripting don't change between difficulties, just HPs, damage out, and sometimes you need to cure DoTs or purge the mob but you could have done that anyway in easier modes.

I spent roughly 90 hours playing the game over the past 2 weekends, ended with a character in mostly QL6 gear with a 6 different weapons unlocked + a lot of early outer ring abilities as well.
My skill set in the end was
1 - Builder
2 - Chaos attack
3 - Blade attack
4 - AoE builder
5 - Charge
6 - Defensive cooldown
7 - Defensive cooldown
My rotation was spam 1, then used 2 and 3 at five resource or against groups I would spam 4 until five resources then use 2 and 3. Sometimes I would use 6 and 7 if needed and I had 5 to start the attack or to provide mobility.
This was enough to walk through pretty much any quest I encountered.
This game does not have great combat, but that's ok for me. I played Tera which was advertised as having great combat and didn't enjoy it so for me TSW level of combat suits me. I was good at PvP in this game, very good and I think the basic combat system helps me out a lot.
So I'm happy, but if you are looking for a great combat system this game isn't it.

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti has a new multiyear deal in place to remain with the team, CBS Sports reported Saturday. Colletti, who has been the Dodgers general manager since 2005, said Friday that Don Mattingly would return but nothing official about his own status. Colletti's new contract could be for up to three years, while other sources told CBS Sports it may be for two years. His old deal included mutual options after this season. The Los Angeles Times reported more than a week ago that the Dodgers made an offer to Colletti. Colletti could not be reached Saturday morning for comment and club president Stan Kasten would not comment. Colletti was reportedly praised by the Dodgers new ownership group after pulling off a nine-player blockbuster trade that included bringing first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, starting pitcher Josh Beckett and outfielder Carl Crawford over from the Boston Red Sox. The Dodgers are 7-12 since the trade but are still in the N...

What I'm Reading
• Id' like to give the Brewers some words of advice, but the sign says it all: "Sign Prince and they will come".
• The Rangers have this really awesome first base prospect named Justin Smoak. The Rangers also have this really awful current first baseman named Chris Davis. Let's do some simple math, here.
• Because someone in the world has to talk about the Astros, I'm here to tell you that journeyman Jeff Keppinger is well on his way to usurping Kaz Matsui's second base job.
• You say you can throw faster? Well, then who are you and what have you done with Kris Benson?
What I Think About It
Prince Fielder
• I'm just glad I'm not a Brewers fan.
After years of toil watching the promising Ben Sheets waste away, the savior arrived from the Cleveland Indians only to be whisked away by the pinstriped temptress.
Now, if Milwaukee was to lose its homegrown trophy?
I'd be really glad I'm not a Brewers fan.
I've mentioned before that I am less-than-the-average financial wiz, but if Joe Mauer can land with the Twins a year before he hits free agency, then by golly there's gotta be a way to scrape together enough beer and bratwurst money to re-sign Prince Fielder.
Unfortunately, it has been rumored that Fielder is using Mauer's eight-year $184 million deal as a benchmark – to start with.
So they're really going to have to scrounge around for every last penny to keep the Big Fella'.
But they have to do it.
When the buzz around Mauer hit this spring training, people said that he needed to stay. "It's good for the game," they'd cry from afar.
The same applies to Prince.
Granted, he wasn't born and raised in Milwaukee, as is the case for Mauer and St. Paul, but it's important for small market teams to keep their well-groomed prized-possessions.
America loves an underdog.
Outside of Yankee and Red Sox fans, no true baseball fan likes to see talent leave for the big city and the big bucks.
Fans want to see the Brewers, the Twins, the Pirates (well, maybe not the Pirates – nobody cares about them) keep what rightfully belongs to them.
So Milwaukee, do everything you can to keep him.
We'd all appreciate it.
Chris Davis
• Chris Davis has been downright miserable this season.
The patience of Rangers fans has to be wearing thin, considering Smoak is anxiously waiting down in AAA Oklahoma City.
I understand the arbitrational dilemma regarding his potential early call-up, but there comes a point in the first month of a baseball season where a team has to decide if they're sincerely going to compete the rest of the way out.
Sure, the Rangers currently sit in last place at a paltry 5-7, but the AL West is a mild division that can be won by whichever team stands up and declares itself a winner.
Texas might feel that it owes him more than just a few weeks into the season before making any kind of brash move regarding a switch.
But how much longer can the Rangers employ a strikeout master in Davis while ignoring the fact that piece of mind could be right around the corner?
Expect to start hearing Smoak's name more and more as Davis continues to struggle.
Hopefully for the good of the organization, he picks it up, but don't count on it.
Jeff Keppinger
• The Astros knew full-well heading into 2010 that this was not their year.
But at least they decided to make things interesting.
After starting their season 0-8, I guess it could be said that the team has hit a "hot streak" to bring their record up to 3-9.
Part of those three huge wins can be attributed to the surprisingly sufficient play of former minor league great, Jeff Keppinger.
Unfortunately for Kaz Matsui, Kepp's success and soon-to-be longevity are all coming at his expense.
So what we're looking at here is this: since he likely won't be happy platooning or being a role player and he definitely won't accept an assignment to AAA Round Rock, if Keppinger keeps up the pace, Matsui's next likely option is to leave via trade.
It's still early for most teams to want to explore a trade that would involve him, but with the recent Fred Lewis trade, we've been shown that it can be done when a player needs to get out.
Is Kaz next?
Kris Benson
• Alright, it was one start.
But that doesn't stop me from being amazed at the fact that Kris Benson did not systematically implode on the mound on Saturday.
Even if his wife, Anna (and we all know how I feel about Mrs. Benson), was in the stands watching, I didn't think it would be enough motivation to have a successful outing.
But he proved me wrong.
Am I happy about it?
Do I expect Kris Benson to be quality starter for the rest of 2010?
Well, uhh..no. Do you?
He is saying, however, that he thinks he can throw faster than his clocked top speed of 90.1 MPH as time goes on and his arm regains its strength.
I have yet to be fully impressed by you, Kris, unlike other members of the Benson family.
But I'm intrigued.
Show me what you got, Sir.

BMC Infectious Diseases 2010, 10:40 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-10-40Published: 25 February 2010
Viral load (VL) monitoring is an essential component of the care of HIV positive individuals. Rates of VL monitoring have been shown to vary by HIV risk factor and clinical characteristics. The objective of this study was to determine whether there are differences among regions in Canada in the rates of VL testing of HIV-positive individuals on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), where the testing is available without financial barriers under the coverage of provincial health insurance programs.
The Canadian Observational Cohort (CANOC) is a collaboration of nine Canadian cohorts of HIV-positive individuals who initiated cART after January 1, 2000. The study included participants with at least one year of follow-up. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) regression models were used to determine the effect of geographic region on (1) the occurrence of an interval of 9 months or more between two consecutive recorded VL tests and (2) the number of days between VL tests, after adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates. Overall and regional annual rates of VL testing were also reported.
3,648 individuals were included in the analysis with a median follow-up of 42.9 months and a median of 15 VL tests. In multivariable GEE logistic regression models, gaps in VL testing >9 months were more likely in Quebec (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.72, p < 0.0001) and Ontario (OR = 1.78, p < 0.0001) than in British Columbia and among injection drug users (OR = 1.68, p < 0.0001) and were less likely among older individuals (OR = 0.77 per 10 years, p < 0.0001), among men having sex with men (OR = 0.62, p < 0.0001), within the first year of cART (OR = 0.15, p < 0.0001), among individuals on cART at the time of the blood draw (OR = 0.34, p < 0.0001) and among individuals with VL < 50 copies/ml at the previous visit (OR = 0.56, p < .0001).
Significant variation in rates of VL testing and the probability of a significant gap in testing were related to geographic region, HIV risk factor, age, year of cART initiation, type of cART regimen, being in the first year of cART, AIDS-defining illness and whether or not the previous VL was below the limit of detection.

JALALABAD, Afghanistan — Miya Jan was filling potholes on the rutted trail that leads to his village in rugged eastern Afghanistan when he heard the whine of a drone aircraft overhead.
The sunburned 28-year-old farmer looked up and saw a gray, narrow-winged drone circling the village. A few minutes later, he said, it fired a missile that landed with a tremendous thud across a stony ridge line.
Jan ran to the explosion site and recognized the burning frame of his cousin's blue pickup truck. Inside, he said, he saw blackened shapes — people whose torsos had been sheared off. He recognized the smoking remains of his brother, his brother's wife and their 18-month-old son. Jan and other villagers say 14 people were killed in the attack; U.S. and Afghan officials place the toll at 11.
"There were pieces of my family all over the road," said Jan, recalling the deadly Sept. 7 late afternoon incident in an interview last week. "I picked up those pieces from the road and from the truck and wrapped them in a sheet to bury them.
"Do the American people want to spend their money this way, on drones that kill our women and children?" he asked.
The repercussions of such strikes are felt far beyond the dark escarpments of Kunar province. The grief and rage of Jan and his relatives help explain the approval among some Afghans of President Hamid Karzai's thus far non-negotiable demand that civilian casualties cease if he is to sign a proposed 10-year security agreement with the United States.
Karzai responded to the Kunar attack by accusing the United States of recklessness and callous disregard for innocent Afghans. After a child died in a drone strike Thursday in southern Afghanistan, Karzai suggested that the attack had ended any chance of an accord.
Civilian deaths at the hands of U.S. forces have long poisoned Karzai's relationship with the United States. That antagonism has hardened this month into a vise that could abruptly end America's 12-year, multibillion-dollar investment in Afghanistan, despite a decline in civilian casualties due to new safeguards by foreign forces.
Civilian deaths in neighboring Pakistan for which the CIA's covert drone program there has been blamed have elicited far more publicity than drone operations by the U.S. military in Afghanistan. Many Americans are not aware that dozens of armed drones fly over Afghanistan every day, part of the U.S.-led NATO coalition's 300 to 350 daily aircraft sorties.
The missile that turned the pickup truck into an inferno is symbolic of the mistrust between Karzai and his erstwhile American patrons. As is often the case, the identities of the victims are shrouded in doubt in a nation where the difference between an insurgent and a civilian is measured in degrees.
In cases such as Thursday's airstrike, both insurgents and civilians were said to be killed. The U.S. military typically responds by promising an investigation. Meanwhile, Karzai fans outrage with blistering denunciations of U.S. motives.
After the Sept. 7 attack in the village of Ganbir, the coalition initially said the airstrike killed "10 enemy forces" and emphasized that there were "no signs of civilians in the vicinity."
On Saturday, Col. Jane Crichton, director of public affairs for NATO's International Security Assistance Force, said a preliminary investigation had found that although the airstrike killed eight insurgents, "there were, unfortunately, believed to be three civilian casualties," for which the ISAF expressed "deep regret."
U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Ken Wilsbach, who commands air operations in Afghanistan, said, "Our goal is to eradicate civilian casualties, but that is an incredibly difficult task when the enemy is intermixed with the civilian population. We're here to help the Afghan population, and there is absolutely zero intent to harm civilians."
ISAF commanders often point out that the Taliban, according to the United Nations and other independent observers, are responsible for the vast majority of civilian deaths. Yet Karzai rarely condemns Taliban attacks that kill civilians, and certainly not as vociferously as when civilians are killed by coalition forces.
On Friday, the Karzai-appointed governor of Kunar told The Times that four women, four children and three civilian men were killed in the Sept. 7 strike. But Gov. Shuja ul Mulk Jalala also said he was told by the National Directorate of Security, Afghanistan's CIA, that three of the victims were suspected Taliban fighters.
"Let me tell you, about 70% of the people in that area, especially in Ganbir village, are Taliban," Jalala said. "The mullahs and the praying people are all Taliban."
Four men from the village said in detailed interviews last week that everyone in the pickup was a civilian, all but four from their two extended families. They said the truck picked up four villagers as it returned from taking Jan's sister-in-law to Kabul for medical treatment.
But the governor's account suggests that if some of the truck's occupants indeed were armed insurgents, the drone may have tracked them and targeted the pickup. U.S. Predator and Reaper drones often trail insurgents for hours or even days before an attack is ordered.
Jan and his relatives acknowledge that their village and district are Taliban strongholds. They say they are poor Pashtun farmers struggling to survive the daily grind of war, but now are inclined to support the Taliban. They did not mention civilians killed in Taliban attacks.

Former Notre Dame linebacker and NFL draft hopeful Manti Te'o is bound to receive some form of rookie hazing when he enters the league next season. He has been publicly ridiculed since news broke that his girlfriend was imaginary, and his future teammates are likely to give him a hard time over the matter.One team he may be hoping he doesn't land on is the Houston Texans.Texans defensive end Antonio Smith said on Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network that he believes Te'o would get some brutal treatment in the Houston locker room if they drafted him."Our locker room is full of clowns and, oh, man people would kill him. I mean he would be the butt of every joke for at least two, three years," Smith said.Smith thinks the inevitable jokes about Te'o will come easier if the Heisman finalist learns to laugh them off."You just got to be a good sport, man, it is what it is and you know it is out now, it's out in the papers and on TV, so all you can do now, you can't worry about it, you can't change it, all you can do now is laugh — laugh with us while we're laughing at you," Smith said.Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.For the record, Houston has the 27th overall pick in the draft. Will Te'o still be on the board when their turn comes around?Via Pro Football Talk

I made this tonight and it was SO GOOD! Thank you for the easy peasy recipe that I will definitely make again!
Such an awesome recipe for leftover chicken!! I only had lemons so I used them and left out the zest and added a little cayenne at the end. Really good!

Linton woman handed driving ban after crashing into a bollard in Church Gresley
Posted: August 26, 2014|
A WOMAN has been banned from driving for more than two years after downing a bottle of wine and crashing into a bollard.
Carol Hulse told Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court she forced herself to call the police after realising: "It could have been a child and I could not have lived with that."
Hulse contacted the police after walking home to Coton Park, Linton, following the crash on July 29.
She said: "I feel very sorry for what has happened. At the end of the day, I could have killed myself and somebody else."
Derby magistrate Dr Derek Lees praised her for alerting police but told her: "The level of alcohol was significant, almost four times the limit."
Hulse admitted driving with 117 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
A 28-month driving ban was imposed on Hulse, 47, who was ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid community work. She was put on probation for a year and must pay £85 prosecution costs with a £60 government surcharge.
Peter Quinn, prosecuting, told the court: "Happily no-one was injured as a result of her driving. But with a reading like that, it was more by the grace of God."
On the night of the offence, Hulse drove to a friend's house in Church Gresley, where she had two glasses of wine. After leaving the woman's home, she drove to a lay-by and remained there for 90 minutes.
"She then drove back into Church Gresley, bought a bottle of wine, went back to the same lay-by and drank the whole bottle while sitting in the car," said Mr Quinn.
When questioned by police, Hulse said another car had 'forced her to swerve into the bollard'.
Hulse told the JPs she had a 'bit of a misunderstanding' with her husband and decided to leave the house for a while.
She added: "I didn't want it to escalate."
