As an addition to the mechanical Dura-Ace 7900 series, the electronic Dura-Ace 7970 will deliver state-of-the-art technology that will give its users a revolutionary road riding experience. Di2 stands for 'Digital Integrated Intelligence'. This innovative shift technology is still based on the Shimano Index System (SIS) that has proved its superior gear changing characteristics over the years. The big difference is that in this case , the shifting action is provided for by electronics instead of mechanics. This electronic shifting system was tested extensively over the past two years by several professional riders in all conditions possible, such as rain, mud, low temperatures, cobble stone roads and combinations of all of these at the same time. Dura-Ace 7970 series consists of Dual Control Levers, front and rear derailleur's and a battery kit combined with remaining 7900 mechanical components. The Shimano 7970 Dura-Ace Di2 Front Derailleur Band Adapter converts the Dura-Ace Di2 braze-on front derailleur for bikes with no braze-on mount.

Thread: Could i be pregnant so quickly after stopping cerazette??
Could i be pregnant so quickly after stopping cerazette??
Hi everyone,
4 weeks ago me and my partner decided to try for our first baby I stopped taking the cerazette pill on fri 5th august. Usually if i miss this pill i have a bleed straight away, but this time i havent. me and my partner had sex a few times around the weekend of the 13th and 14th aug. I am pretty sure that i ovulated on the 15th - 16th (i wont go into gory detail but i am pretty sure this happened!)
on sunday 21st august i had some brown discharge, accompanied by a few mild cramps, which i suspected was AF arriving, but nothing became of it. On monday I got hit with extreme exhaustion, i barely had the energy to pick up my cup of tea! I also had some bad lower back pain, and sore boobs. at this point i was getting quite excited and hoping that these be pregnancy symptoms! I felt like this all week. at the weekend me and my partner had sex, and again i experinced some brown discharge, which i thought again may be AF, but it went away whithin a couple of days. This week i have not been having any symptoms apart from tiredness, sore boobs have gone and back is better, although it was painful when i got into bed last night.
It is now 16 days since i think i ovulated, What I would like to know is would it be possible for me to be pregnant so quickly after stopping cerazette? and would a test show positive now? Im battling with myself thinking that im imagining it and then next minute im convinced that i am infact pregnant! did i experinced implantation bleeding on the 21st aug or is this all just because i have stopped the pill!!If i did have symptoms, wouldnt this be way too soon? I heard horror stories about cerazette and am really worried about ttc after using it!
any advice appreciated!!

A period is likely to be late when you stop a contraceptive anyway, however the only way you're going to know for sure is to do a pregnancy test. It should work 16 days after ovulation, yes.
get an early pregancy test (first response) and test!
I got pregnant straight after stopping the pill and had cramps etc, so
yeah i think that was implantation bleeding!
when was ur af due?
I was on Cerazette and conceived my ds about 5 weeks after coming off it. I've just come off it again as we're ttc no2.
What are the horror stories? Got me worried now!!
I had to stop taking my cerazette to have surgery and got pregnant 1 day after stopping, so yes it can happen that fast.
I have fallen pregnant 3 times in the first month after I stopped taking cerazette. So yes it is possible to fall pregnant quickly.
I would firsly recommend just doing a preg test, superdrug ones are good for early responce.
I had an awful 2 months comming off the same pill and very similar expeciance, it took 4 weeks until i got a period and it was similar and only lasted a couple of days. the first 4 weeks i kept thinking i could have got pregnant fast cuz my breasts were swellingand tender, bloated stomach, cramps and nausea.oh and i was totally wiped of energy! the second month was similar but slightly better.
By the 3rd month and 2 cycles i got pregnant! But i didnt beleive it until i was 6 days late because i thought my body could still be all over the place!!! i tested 2 times between each cycle both BFN. i had also read horror storys about it but despite the awful feeling for 2 months i doubt it affects fertility,some people will take longer due to other factors too.
You can become pregnant straight after coming off the pill as the ladies above have experianced so if in doubt do testing and monitor. keep a diary of your symtomes also, it really helped me.
Fingers crossed you get a BFP!!!!
Finished cerazette 15th August
Hi all
I'm new to this posting thing, so sorry if i rant on! I finished cerazette on 15th August after having 2 months of 14 day long periods, severe moodiness to the extent i felt someone had taken over my mood. My partner and I decided enough was enough and we decided after 3 years of being together we are ready for our first child and to wait, it will happen when it happens. On the 17th August i had a period which only lasted 4 days. Since then i have noted all my symptoms:
Nausea - all day - even on a full stomach
Peeing all the time, feeling the urge to pee straight after i have just peed.
Few headaches, which have stopped.
Stomach cramps
Sore breasts
Emotional - tearful at times.
Could i be pregnant or are these common side affects when coming off this mini pill?
Any advice would be great
Not to worry you but i fell pregnant whilst taking Cerazette. I was taking it normally, no missed pills or anything else that may have put me at risk iykwim.
I ended up with an identical twin pregnancy. They are now almost 5! i never trusted to go back on the pill after that and had the mirina coil fitted!
TTC again now though, and think i had my bfp this morning!
Aww wow, congrats on your two 5 year old twins.. thats lovely!! To be honest i'm not worried in slightest, my partner and i were trying on and off for a few months before i went on cerazette. I felt i wanted to go on the mini pill for a while as the not conceiving was sad a times. However now we are happy and excited to try starting a family.
Funnily enough twins also run in my family and i am the next generation that could have twins. Did you have any symptoms as early as maybe 3-4 weeks??
trying to get pregnant!
Hi to all, I just recently stopped taking cerezette after taking it for just under 3 years, me and my husband are trying for another baby. I was woundering if anyone had any input on how long it takes to get pregnant after stopping, Ive been off it for about a month and had 1 MP. would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on this topic as I have read all sorts of horror stories!
I was on cerazette about 3 years, stopped taking it 5 months ago, af came about 5/6 weeks, then again 6 weeks later, well now I'm coming up to 10 weeks with nothing , bfn on tests I've done, doctor won't see me as apparently this is normal. Is really frustrating and I've been feeling quite rubbish the last couple of days. Had twinges in my breasts, stomach cramps, backache, and came down with cystitis too which is clearing up. Also been overly tired and hardly any appetite but scared to do another test.
They were using withdrawal method.......ooops....in the first week she was on cerazette they used no protection.
Tests coming back negative...anyone have any such experiences?????????????????/ HELP ASAP Thanks

I stopped taking cerazette on 18 June & I'm now about 7 wks pregnant. I spent the first 4 freaking out because I hadn't had a period & feeling super yuck. There's a lot of helpful stuff on the net & coming off can give you a lot of pregnancy symptoms because of the sudden reuse of your uterus when it's not been able to hold an egg before. Hope that's helpful!
stopping cerazette this weekend
Hi all im new here, Im 29 and stopping cerazette pill this weekend as I go on hols in 4week and want to try for my 1st baby, heard lots of horror storys about coming off this pill and already telling myself im going to struggle to have kids is this normal/true its all scary stuff ?
Hi , I stopped taking cerazette on June 21st 2013 had a withdrawal bleed on 19 July 2013 lasted 2-3 days and I'm still waiting for AF it's now 56 days since I stopped ! :/
I fell pregnant within the first 3 weeks of coming off Cerazette and hadn't had a withdrawal bleed or period. There were other threads about this at the same time, others had the same experience, it can definitely happen.
Am I pregnant?
So we've all heard the good stories and the horror stories about stopping this horrible pill. I've been on the pill for two and a half years now, before that I had the implant and before that microgynon. I never had troubles with microgynon but I would pass out every time I was on, I tired the implant and was on constantly for 6 months, I then switched to cerezette which I have had no problems with. my periods stopped all together. I stopped taking it a few weeks ago now, I never used condoms when I was on the pill (naughty I know) my boyfriend and I decided we want to start a family. So I came off of it a couple days later i thought i was coming on and had a little bit of dark mucus in the underwear, i thought that was my period starting but nothing has happened yet. Ever since then I've been feeling really sick and have thrown up after eating rice crispies (I love them but they taste different now and make me sick) I have thrown up other times too mostly the morning or night. My boobs have grown a cup size and they seem darker in colour, I've had to take out my nipple piercing because it hurts so much. They are so tender, my boobs were a b cup now I'm a c (I have small boobs I know) but now if I walk down the stairs they bounce and hurt. My stomache feels bloated and I'm hungry all the time! I've also been peeing what seems like every five minutes but I think it's every hour to two hours. I've gone off certain foods and been wanting other foods I wouldn't normally. I've got headaches all the time and my back aches. I don't know what to do? It seems impossible that I could get pregnant that quickly, but around my birthday July, we had sex without a condom and as it was my birthday and I was so busy I completely forgot to take my pill for about 4-5 days. So if I were to of conceived then I would be about 4 weeks pregnant. Is this possible? I don't want to take a test because I don't want to see a negative on there. I really want to be pregnant but I'm worried that this might just be the pill messing my body up? :/ help!

Sorry to tell you but yes you can get pregnant very quickly after cerazette its just happened to me
Take a test
I've been on this pill for over a year now (previously for eight years), but finished taking my last one on Thursday 1st August after my doctor became concerned about persistent headaches, my period started on Sunday 28th July and lasted until Wednesday 7th August, we got married the week before this and have since not been taking precautions when having sex, could it be possible that I'm pregnant as l have no idea when my next period will be due, l have previously fallen pregnant on this pill before but sadly had a miscarriage.
Hi Emma , if you have stopped taking the pill and have been sexually active and not used precautions , then yes there is always the possibility, the family planning told me that you can become fertile again as little as 2 weeks after stopping ! I would test every 2 weeks until u get either AF or BFP
Sorry to hear about the misscarriage
After writing that last night I waited for my boyfriend to finish work and we then walked to our local shop as I was really hungry and wanted crisps and chocolate. I really been wanting a chocolate bar. Once we'd finished in the shop we started to walk home, we walked through this wooded area and I started getting a massive headache. I sat down on a tree trunk and threw up for ten minutes. And I'm now stuck in the toilet throwing up again, I know I should take a test but I'm nervous :/
Take a test
Thanks nicky. I will try and pluck up the courage in the next couple of days

I stopped taking Cerazette around the 3rd of January after taking it for about 2 years. Normally when I stop taking it I bleed straight away but haven't this time. Me and my partner are wanting a baby. Is it possible to get pregnant even though I've not yet had a period?
I've been taking cerazette 6 years with no period and I came off it on Christmas Day! So it's been 6 weeks now and no af and when I stopped taking it once before I jade a withdrawal bleed a couple of days later.
I have read a lot on here about people getting pregnant before af has chance to arrive!
I'm hoping that's the case for me but I don't feel pregnant!
Have you done any opks? I did one nearly two weeks ago and it was positive so I think I'm ovulating so now I'm 10dpo x
Oh god I was told you could hHa. Well if the opks I did were wrongni definitely haven't conceived then! Just wish I had a period then at least I know where I'm at! X
Off cerazette
Hi all iv come off cerazette as wasn't right for me came off it 5 weeks ago had a period then last week bled for 3 days? What could this be?? Implantation bleed.
Could I be pregnant come off mini pill..please please help!
Hey! I'm new to this and was wondering if anyone could help/been through the same!! I took the normal pill for around half a year then changed to the mini pill for 3 months. It was the last in my packet and I finish it around the 22nd feb. I had bleeding from 24th to about the 26th which I assume is the bleeding from coming off the pill. The 28-3rd march me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex (it was my birthday don't judge me :p) from about Wednesday I've had on and off headaches, cramps, back ache, constipation, tiredness, peeing a little more, but mostly headaches and back ache, and a weird sniffly runny nose in the morning?? Could I possibly be pregnant? Someone please help as I asked on yahoo answers and everyone was completely rude! I keep thinking I'm tricking myself or its symptoms from coming off the pill but it is possible? Thank you ladies x
if you didn't use protection then there's every chance you could be pregnant.
take a test... its the only way to find out for sure x

I feel like I'm tricking my body although loads of people are saying its very possible as my periods are irregular but then again it could be symptons from stopping the pill but I just feel different? I have to wait ages to take a test though!!
first response or superdrug are best for early pregnancy detection.
i stopped my pill in June and fell pregnant in September but its different for everyone, some take ages to conceive and some fall straight away. docs and tests are the only way to know though x

I've no idea sorry as I've not been in your situation.
but if you think you're having pregnancy syntoms there's no harm in taking a test now.
if you don't get a clear result then try later on.x

Thank you anyway! I'm sure a week is to early to test thank you! Xxxx
i tested positive at 2 weeks with this baby but got a inconclusive at 5 months with my first (i was test mad) it all depends on which tests you use and obviously the level of pregnancy hormones.
good luck for when you do feel its right to test though x

Could I fall Pregnant
Hey, I have been on Cerazette for 3 years and had no periods or anything. I stopped taking it just over a week ago! Haven't had a period yet? When is it likely for me to have one? Also can I fall pregnant before I have my first period?
Please help me shed some life on this?
Me and my husband are married but want to wait a few months before trying so I have stopped taking it now in order to try and get body back to a normal monthly cycle.
could i be pregnant?
I was only on cerazette for 3 months, I stopped taking it on the first day of my last period (1st April) I bled for a whole 5 days my blood was jet black (sorry for too much info). my periods have always been like clock work, and i am now on day 42 of my cycle with no period. the only symptoms i have had is the feeling of coming on my period i.e. stomach cramps and i keep thinking i am bleeding but nothing is there just a little discharge. could i be pregnant, i took a pregnancy test last night as i am worried, but it was negative, is it too early to test, if i am?

Hi all, just thought i'd pop in and say i was on cerazette for a good few years and i came off end of Feb, had withdrawal then AF followed by BFP a few weeks later - i'm now 7+4 weeks.
I read loads of scary stories about coming off and it taking a long time so was taken aback when it happened so quickly! Xxx

I'm new to netmums but very happy to have joined as I feel "normal' reading all of your comments. We decided to try for our 1st cold a couple of months ago after I have been on cerazette for 3 years.
After 2 AFs I was convinced we were PG as I have had every symptom from aching boobs to twinges in my uterus, emotions, tiredness, headaches. You name it. 3 negative tests later and I can only put it down to my body trying to get back to normal.
I have no idea where I am in my cycle now as I'm technically on day 38, so totally overdue if my last 2 AFs were anything to go by?!
It's very frustrating so I'm glad that these symptoms are normal for you ladies too!!
Trying for child no2
Hi all I'm new to this site so hope I'm doing This right, well me and my partner are trying for our second child I was on cerrezette with my first and fell pregnant within the 1st two months My first child is 4 now so we want to try for another I came off the pill 6 weeks ago and have had 3 periods within that time; is that normal? Has this happend to anyone else? They seem to be coming every 2 weeks I've tried to look up on cerrezette and everyone has problems of coming on a period but mine is the opposite! Thanks for reading xxx
Hello I came off cerezette on the 23rd of Novemeber I had unprotected sex twice on the 27 and the 1st December. I took a pregnancy test on the 17th of December and it was negative! Have I tested to soon or should I repeat the test. I did have one episode of pink stained discharge about a week ago.
Hope you get the results you're looking for x
Hi Lisa I've just come off that pill was only on it a month after waiting a few months for my body to adjust after cm me and the oh were ready to try again. I came off it 5th dec had withdrawal bleed which was like a proper period on the 8th and with my cycles being regular 28 days I'm shocked af is 9 days late. I did two tests the day I was due on and last fri but bfn! I'm going to test again 2mra at 10 days late with fmu. I'm hoping I've got caught out late I've had crampy feelings for the past 10 days but nothing like what I get before I'm due af at all. I was on cerezette for years previously and it's never taken me out of my regular cycle of 28 days when I came off it before. So confused!
Hi I got pregnant 2 days after my cerazette ran out. But 4 days after I got some again and due to this resulted in a miscarriage
I stopped taking cerazette 2 weeks ago and have had some spotting in my cm also my stomach feels tender. Is this a symptom if coming off the pill or does it sound like implantation bleeding? I know people are saying pregnancy symptoms are signs of just coming off the pill I'm just unsure about the bleeding can't take a test coz it will be too early

Hi i got pregnant 2/3 weeks after taking pill so yes it's possible
how long after stopping the pill can I get pregnant
I've been taking Cerazette for over a year now, during my last period I stopped taking my pill. This was just over a week ago, I have been having unprotected sex since and my breasts are beginning to become really sore as my nipples are sensitive. Is it possible for me to be pregnant within this short amount of time?
could I be pregnant?? opinions please.
Hi all, I am currently a mother of one. She's 14 month old and as of yet we haven't any immediate plans for another. There will definitely be more but as of yet we are very much enjoying our daughter. We recently (got back two weeks ago) went on our first family holiday abroad and needless to say me and my partner enjoyed quite a lot of us time when the baby was asleep. I am on the progesterone only mini pill as I was breast feeding, which I stopped doing 10 months ago. Which is very rare if i miss taking it. I don't have periods as the Dr did say I may not do being on this pill. When I came back from our holiday I had the worst pms cramps I'm the lower of my back but no period. I then had a bleed a week or so later but it isn't what I remember a usual period to be like (it has been over 2 years since last). It is very on and off. One minute quite heavy then hardly anything the next. I'm absolutely shattered at the moment too and I do feel quite irritable which I have just put down to being tired and busy at work. My main concern is the fact out of no where I have started producing milk again and enough for it to squirt out with some pressure. I have done two tests within a couple of days of each other but they have come back negative. I found out about my first pregnancy 3 weeks in and I am just wondering If I could actually be pregnant and just caught it even too early to show up on a test. It's driving me crazy as I feel it but maybe it's just because it's on my mind that I am convinced it's true. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated. I'm due to sign a new contract with work that lasts 18 months which I cannot get out of once it's signed. Thanks in advance everyone xx
I fell pregnant taking Cerazette, have been on it over a year. So think it's very possible to fall after stopping soon x

is the Journalist and Writer whose home you will be sharing, along with her young (rescued) cat...
She speaks French, English, Indonesian, some German and Spanish.
As a writer, she privileges quietness and concentration, yet always happy to share 'insider's tips' with you and help in any question about life in Bali.
The Neighborhood
one of the most privileged areas of Bali.

a protected "GREEN BELT" that acts as a natural lung:
no cars, no bikes, no fumes, no cocks, no barking dogs, no burning garbage.
comes all the way down from the volcano
TREKKING lanes adjacent to the riverbank.
Hindu shrine,

small pavilions:
great for reading, relaxing, painting, yoga...
hot spot for white water rafting
Bathing area
NEARBY, you'll find local places where to eat - "Made's Warung" offers fresh fish and rice for 2USD... the Italian GAYA GELATO (ice-cream parlor ) is 50M away, with tropical fruit sherbets to die (or live) for!
There is a food court at BALI WOOD, trendy places where to meet peers and have delicious food, like Vespa Cafe, Kopi Desa, Alchemy, Bayu's Kitchen in Penestanan village, and many local warungs for Indonesian dishes.
You'll find local shops, fruit and vegetable markets all along the main road.
Food delivery is available from a wide variety of places (see our folder in unit).
There are large supermarkets (Bintang, Coco and Delta) that provide all you need in terms of food, clothing, toiletry etc.
Nevertheless, we encourage you to support small local businesses as much as possible.
UBUD is a MOOD, as the artistic and spiritual center of this Island of the Gods, with its traditional SPIRITUAL HEALERS & SHAMANS, painters, sculptors, musicians and dancers, kite makers, mask carvers, furniture, jewelry and fashion designers.
some business people have their production done here.
Lots of beautiful MUSEUMS to visit (ARMA, Neka, Lukisan, Antonio Blanco, Jewelry Rudana, Mask & Puppets, etc).
The area is popular with YOGIS from all over the world who come here to improve their practice or complete a teacher training.
UBUD has become a world-famous hub since Elizabeth Gilbert's book "EAT, PRAY, LOVE" was published, and even more so after the movie featuring Julia Roberts was made.
Many FESTIVALS are hosted here, including Ubud Writers Festival (Oct), Meditation Festival and Film Festival (Nov), Bali Spirit Festival (March) with music, dance, and yoga.
UBUD has been named "BEST DESTINATION IN ASIA" by Conde Nast Traveler Readers and the President of the World Peace Committee gave Bali the "ISLAND OF PEACE" prize.
The GREEN SCHOOL is now a world reference in terms of their BAMBOO building technique, sustainable standards, and education system. Just 6-8km away lies their campus built on hectares of beautiful land, using a most inventive architecture of bamboo, with a large sustainable organic vegetable garden, a solar power system and much more—this is a MUST SEE!
You should find their website online for a virtual tour, as well as registering for a real tour once you're in town.
Getting Around
SAYAN is just 3.5km (2Miles) away from UBUD - While it's great to have a good walk around town, having your own transportation is essential to get the most out of your visit.
The preferred method is an automatic SCOOTER. everyone here drives a Scooter! better than a car in traffic..
Otherwise, you could hire an "OJEK" (Moto taxi) to transport you inexpensively (about 2USD/ride, helmet provided).
Some athletic visitors opt for a bicycle (though be advised that it is hot, humid, and hilly! ). Another option is a rented car (+ driver).
We recommend Mr NYOMAN for scooter rental. He has fair rates, with discounts offered for weekly and monthly periods;
a signed rental document with your personal information is compulsory.
Mr NYOMAN will deliver your scooter at yr door along with helmet and rain coat.
Please consider $5USD/day (60K Rp) - $50/ mnth for a scooter -
Bring your National or International driving licence made at your home town.
Note that Your personal insurance references are Important.
AIRPORT transfer
It is advisable to hire OUR DRIVER so that someone will be there waiting for you, allowing for a smooth arrival, avoiding a waste of time and energy. OUR DRIVER has a comfortable car with air-con and charges 350K IDR (approximately $29 USD, as of Jan. 2015) for airport transfer.
He has been transporting our guests for years, speaks great English, communicates well via mobile phone/WhatsApp, safe, reliable, knowledgeable, considerate, he will help you carry your luggage, provide you with the keys, show where the lights are...
He will stand at the MAIN EXIT at AIRPORT with a large sign showing a BIRD AND A HEART (our logo), that will be very visible.
He is also available for other tours (around the island, to the volcano, temples, hot springs, beach, etc).
Kindly please let us know in advance if you like your AIRPORT transfer with him.
Please email your Flight details ASAP for a better organisation. Thank you!
Other Things to Note
INSECTS AND OTHER BEASTS are part of life in a tropical island like Bali.
Vegetation here is rich, lush, growing fast and with it a whole array of living creatures. Some are quite cute and others are less pleasant. Remember that a ugly hairy caterpillar, given time, will become a shimmering butterfly as large as your hand.
This is not a jungle "ala Disney", so you should be both careful and respectful.
Remember also that most will flee rather than confront you...
MOSQUITOS: while there is no malaria here, dengue fever is a slight possibility—though statistically, it mostly affects people who have been living here for at least three years.
We provide natural essential oils as mosquito repellent. You should protect yourself with round-the-clock essential oils.
TRAVEL LIGHT ( clothes are cheap here), and remember to bring your own flashlight or headlamp.
BE RESPECTFUL OF BALINESE CULTURE and be sure to take your shoes off when entering a Balinese home.
Do not point at people or things with your finger, and do not touch people or things with your foot as well as not showing the sole of your feet to people (these things are considered very rude).
You should give and receive things only with your RIGHT HAND, whenever possible, and always smile...
People here will smile a lot and rarely say "NO."
whenever attending a ceremony, be sure that you have NO bare shoulders/chest, no short pants or Bermudas.
Men should wear a sarong and a SAPUT (smaller sarong) on top, with its strings tied at the waist meant to 'separate the pure from the impure' as is the tradition here.
Women should wear a sarong with a sash (scarf) at the waist for the same reasons. As a top, women should wear a KEBAYA (lacy balinese style blouse), or a plain long-sleeved shirt, and hair should be knotted into a bun. Menstruating women are not allowed on temple grounds.
Bringing an offering (tjanang) with you is always welcome; you can get them from any local warung (family stall) .
Observe the Balinese people and do the same as they do.
Women usually sit with women and men sit with men, please do so unless you are with a Balinese friend of the opposite sex, it's ok then to sit together.
Never stand higher than a priest, and do not stand on a platform where everyone is sitting. Do not use flash lights when photographing a priest, always ask permission to make photo (a simple gesture is enough).
DISCOUNT AVAILABLE FOR LONG TERM RENTAL (over 2 wks), please contact us with your request.

-- 7/ Employees DO NOT LIVE ON-SITE — therefore, for OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS, cannot give to an unknown driver INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE KEYS..
—} FOR ALL THESE REASONS WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND OUR DEAR GUESTS to rather travel with OUR OWN DRIVER. A SAFE, RELIABLE & SMOOTH WAY TO ARRIVE. HIS FEE is THE SAME as ANY OTHER DRIVER (29USD = 350K RP from Airport to Ubud, paid directly to him). -- PLEASE contact us AHEAD OF TIME to ARRANGE YOUR TRANSFER --

— COMPULSORY UPON ARRIVAL: Police declaration for ALL foreigners requires a HARD COPY of your passport
- SPRING MINERAL WATER, 20L JUG: 25K RP (2USD) — or bring your own Bottle (yet, more plastic to dispose of, and 1Liter costs about 4K Rp in any shop!) —

— Be conservative with your use of WATER, a very precious resource here.
— SMOKING allowed OUTSIDE only. Please dispose your cigarettes in an ashtray, thank you--
— LOCK YOUR ROOM DOOR, LOCK THE MAIN GATE whenever going out -- KEEP YOUR VALUABLES inside the CABINET, rather than in plain sight - (we feel this goes without saying, but would like to mention it anyway).

— SAFETY: OPEN FLAMES (candles, incense, oil burners..) : make sure to put them on a metal/glass plate. NEVER leave them unattended for obvious safety reasons, for yourself as well as others - THIS IS ALSO valid FOR THE GAS COOKER.
- ELECTRICITY, Water, and Internet service: while these are all currently active in the listing, from time to time there can be a lapse in their accessibility due to the more primitive infrastructure of services on the island (remember, this is Bali!); there is nothing that can be done about a lapse in service and does NOT constitute a valid reason for cancelling with the expectation of a refund. We appreciate your understanding regarding this.
We recommend MR NYOMAN, a reputable company. Consider $5USD/day (60K Rp)- UPON REQUEST, ahead of time, please, it will be delivered upon arrival, with Helmet and raincoat; payment and contract settled directly with Mr Nyoman upon delivery -
- BRINGING with you ALL DATA RE your HEALTH INSURANCE is obviously IMPORTANT.
— FOR ANY TRANSPORT REQUIREMENTS please let us know AHEAD OF TIME, we can help you get organised with our safe reliable local drivers (Car or "Ojek" Taxi Moto).
— Please be considerate and avoid "last Minute'' requests, Bali is on a SLOW pace, and not up to Western criteria!
— We appreciate your READING n UNDERSTANDING of the present HOUSE RULES.
— Thank you very much for caring ! -

Not so pleasant experiences with the host (the writer owner). The lady did not try to make me feel welcome or anything, she made me feel as if I was one of her staff members.
I did not like the room due to the cats that obviously were allowed inside. I love cats but upon my arrival I developed a very bad allergic reaction, so I practically moved out from the accommodation after 1 night, despite the fact that I had paid for 2 weeks. There was a compensation offered (upgraded villa for the following week), but I thought best to stay in the centre of Ubud where I found a much better place where I was treated warmheartedly.
It was a terrible experience!! The host is not nice at all I couldn't relax at all I have to share the bathroom with her and she asked me to take of so many details, she has also 2 baby cats they are so enjoying they didn't let me eat or even go to the kitchen cause they were begging for food all the time, they will jump on the table and kitchen counter. The woman likes to control everything, it was just not good energy at all, also her profile says the room is big enough to do yoga and it wasn't true, there was so many Mosquitos and insects that didn't let me sleep and I found out you can find many better places in the center of Ubud and that's what I did cause I didn't like this place at all even if I lost my money
For any prospective guests who are reading this, I would like to first note that she opted to stay in the guest room in the writer's home at "Maya" (our only shared listing), and will provide some comments in response to her review: 1) "It was a terrible experience!!" RE: Patricia is such a nice girl, I'm very sorry that she feels she had a "terrible experience" during her stay in my guest room. 2) "...asked me to take of so many details" RE: The "many details" that were asked of Patricia with were items of common courtesy when sharing a space with someone (as is stated in the listing description) and a general eco-friendly attitude (ex: turning off lights, wiping the wash basin after use, disposing of food from the shared refrigerator before it begins to decay), which she did not happily comply with, if at all. 3) "she has also 2 baby cats…" RE: The listing states in "The Space" that there is "Young cat with us here…" and in "House Rules" that "CAT LOVERS and GARDEN LOVERS pref." The baby cats Patricia is referring to are 2-3 month old kittens (2) who were being fed every few hours throughout the day. In addition to the information provided on Airbnb, I also corresponded with her directly via email in advance of her stay reaffirming the presence of the kittens, and making sure that it wouldn't be an issue at all, to ensure that everyone in the home has enjoyable time. 4) "…it was just not good energy at all…" RE: Given that "good energy" is a bit of a vague concept and matter of opinion, it is difficult for me to comment on this. All I know is that so many people have been perfectly happy here, which we hope is the case for everyone who chooses to stay with us, but from time to time there might be someone who is simply not a good fit. 5) "…big enough to do yoga…" RE: We had a yoga teacher stay with us for three months, practicing every day, twice a day, for two hours. It was based on this knowledge that information about this was included in the listing details "...so many Mosquitos and insects…" RE: Mosquitos and insects are a known reality in a tropical climate such as Bali. That said, there is a mosquito net enclosing the bed in the guest room as well as an additional net that was installed on the window of the room prior to Patricia's arrival. 6) "…I found out you can find many…" RE: Whether a place is better or not is a matter of opinion. We look to provide a unique space and experience inside of a writer's home and describe it as clearly as possible in the listing to ensure that we have guests who are a good fit here.
I had a wonderful, relaxing and inspiring time. For anyone looking for a peaceful hideaway in Ubud, this is THE place to go. You will meet wonderful people who will make you feel like at home from the start and help you with anything you need. I will definitely be back!
J'ai passé un très agréable moment à Maya Guest House!!! La chambre est petite, mais bien équipée et très propre. Le personnel est vraiment gentil, Tini m'a beaucoup aidé pour la location du scooter, pour le transfert jusqu'à ma destination suivante...
Mon seul regret est de ne pas avoir rencontré Marie, qui était en Europe pendant mon séjour à Maya. Mais malgré la distance elle m'a été d'une grande aide, pour tout m'expliquer, me recommander les endroits à visiter en fonction de mes besoins...
En tout cas, bel endroit, à recommander !!
I had wonderful stay at Rumah Maya. The room is very clean and beautifully decorated with a serene view onto a lush garden. The house is a bout three miles outside of ubud, which I found to be enjoyable. I loved my morning motorbike ride into town, passing through delightful small villages. There is a beautiful river walk just five minutes away. The staff at the house is very kind and attentive and Marie is a generous, gracious host and friend. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, introducing me to many activities in Ubud. I will always remember my stay there with much fondness. Also, she arranged for bike rental.
the room is small but cozy. Marie has been extremely helpful.I am so grateful to have made the decision to stay with her for a couple of days.
Thanks to Marie! She made my stay nice and exciting, she has some really good advices off the tourist track. The room was comfortable and very clean. It feels like a safe place. The garden in front of the room is just beautiful and calming. Thanks again and all the best!

Remember Me
But that is how good music effects you. Your body radiates the energy for weeks. The band inflated the crowd like a hot air balloon. They played until the wee hours each night closing the bar at 3am on Saturday! When I walked out my legs felt like Jell-O from dancing so hard. Those boys rolled out the funk with precision. Songs such as Grattos Boogie and Nice n' Easy were laid down with the help of former Tiny Universe trumpeter, Carlos Washington.
Washington, the weekend's special guest, was a cosmic addition to the soul-pushing group. His presence was seen more in the second sets of the shows. During the second set of the Friday night show Washington
accompanied Jive in a silky smooth version of Grover Washington's In the Pocket.
Carlos was not the only special guest. DJ Ivy took the stand and delivered dance music through the hypnotic rhythm of his turntables. DJ Ivy opened all three shows. In fact, he would remain on stage through the first song and helped the band get into their first groove. Then at the end of the set he would return to his tables and spin for the entire setbreak. They band would leave and we remained on the dance floor. There was no break! On Friday night DJ Ivy helped the band cover a Herbie Hancock tune that was made famous by Dee Lite. The song, Groove in the Heart is in
fact a Hancock tune entitled Bring Down the Birds.
Although the band played quite a bit of covers, they do have a large
number of originals. During one of the nights, the band announced that this group was taping the show for a live record. So keep your eyes open for anything. And above all, keep your eyes open for when they'll be in your town next!

Pain Eternal
One thing the internet has done for me is show me how humans really are, there is such a large spectrum of what is seen as moral and ethical, such an extreme of values and opinions, there's open minds and completely brainwashed and closed minds.. intelligence and stupidity, love and cruelty... Some days all I can see is how evil and utterly heartless the human race is, it can be really difficult to get passed seeing that, any kindness or show of love or compassion is just trodden and buried by the intense darkness and never ending evils that the humans create.. to each other, to the innocent creatures of this world, to the earth herself...
Even when trying to avoid seeing all this by not looking at the news reports or by avoiding certain groups of people, there's constant small reminders, little cold indifferent or cruel comments on a facebook post that might be only just a few words, but it screams a million in pain and soul wrenching agony. Some days I can't help but think the human race are just freak mutations, gross ugly flesh tearing monsters, with evil at the heart of their very existence, they have turned this beautiful balanced world into a gross hellish planet...and they think this is not who they really are. I have no idea how any good can emanate from this disgusting hell of a species.

love! is the answer
I was sitting at my desk, when my pc decided to freeze on me... I had to wait for a bit, for it unfreeze.. so my eyes happened to be idle for a while.
I looked down at my desk..I saw an old bit of folded up paper, worn and creased up, I was sure it wasn't there 5 minutes ago or ever actually, no idea how it got there or when... I unfolded it and tears came to my eyes when I realised what it was...something I hadn't seen for a very long time, it was a poem my ex had written for me when I was having a hard time at work and feeling very low. I had kept this poem in my pocket, always close to me to remind me that I was loved and that love helped me be strong and get through my day.
Then life happened, I lost track of it, we broke up..
I hadn't thought about the poem at all actually, for well over a year.. I have even moved cities since then... and it suddenly appears right in front of me, at this very moment.
I've had such a rough time of things this last year or so, my hardship at worked turned into full on bullying by several men, my sister also died suddenly this year and I lost any affection my father may of had for me.. to put it lightly, things have not been good, and I have to admit I am suffering through it, desperately trying to distract myself from my own pain, I'm trying to hide away from myself.. sounds absurd when I say that.
My ex was not always the most loving of men, but that one moment, that one poem is now a reminder to me, one I was needing right now.. it reminds me that I am lovable, I can love and be loved, and it is definitely the answer.
So thank you, if you are reading this, I appreciate who you were to me, I appreciate that you cared, and you can still make miracles, even now the cords have been broken a long while ago.

Endless Foreverness
To remember that point in time, where the point was truly endless, hours did not mean a thing, nor days or weeks.. I was just there.. just being...
Being in another endless souls presence, its hard to describe but, even when no words were spoken, or we were doing nothing at all.. it felt like a whole lot of something... peaceful, silent joy, gentle warmth and feeling of what can only be described as.. love..
Love for the moment, the endless moment of being connected.. no thoughts of yesterday or tomorrow, no worries of anything but the smell of grass, the velvet touch of a daisy petal on my cheek, the warmth of the sun on my skin, the sound of soft breathing from my friend as she sleeps next to me, the flutter of her eyelids and smile of content, and my own smile as I relished this tapestry of beauty around me that seemed like forever.
And it was forever, day and night had no meaning.. only that they shined their magic, showed me their beautiful unique qualities, I felt no need to follow their paths with wake and sleep, only to be in their presence and allow my body to find its own way.. no rush to get anything done, started or finished, only feeling of foreverness and slow soft existence. I could create at my own tempo, explore feelings and thoughts, and form them into something pleasing to me, no worries if its right or liked by others.. none of that.. that did not enter into my mind at all. not like now..
Now, as I am here, alone in the darkness, slower but, I feel the weight of the fast river of time pulling, I know it will pull me back in soon, I cling tighter onto the rock that helps me look to the shore, that still, unmoving land, with green pastures and hills all white and yellow with daisies and buttercups, remembering when the river was not even here, just a gentle stream I would sit by.. never did I think I would get caught up in such a torrent of raging time..
Time pulls at my aching body, I weep, as I cling to that rock and long for that point, that expansive and beautiful point of endless foreverness.

Book Review - Emotional Blackmail
This really has to be one of the most important books I have ever read.. so I guess I never felt I could say enough to justify its importance.. but I have to start some place.. it's part of my everyday life now that am sure its affects will come through in other posts..
Emotional blackmail is a huge business, everyone does it to an extent, and everyone at some point falls prey to it..
This book is all about recognising when you are in the blackmailers grasp, and how to react and change your own behaviour toward the blackmailer so you do not become a 'victim' of it.. and its only small changes you need to make, changing a couple of words in a response can turn around a potential destructive conversation, and being consistent in those changes can completely turn around a damaging relationship.
Personally this book has helped me see when people around me have been emotionally blackmailing me, realising the anger, stress, and especially guilt I felt, was actually due to being blackmailed, when I began to see that, and realise it, I could then basically, 'let myself off the hook'.. just recognising it for what it is, is a huge step into breaking free from its affects.
Don't get me wrong, I still feel all that stuff.. you tell me I'm an awful person because I don't do this or that for you, then yeah, I will feel like crap... but now I can take a step back, see the blackmailing, see my own feelings toward it and respond in another way to how I would usually respond.
My new way of responding actually has at times strengthened me massively, to the point it increased my self esteem and confidence when the other person was hell bent on destroying that,..... of course I was delighted in the irony of the outcome.
The book has also helped me to see where I may be emotionally blackmailing other people and curb my behaviours that way.. because I really do not like being emotionally blackmailed, for any reason, so I would not want to do that to someone I care about.
This is a fantastic life changing book... if you are feeling you are being emotionally blackmailed. then I absolutely recommend reading this book... it will change your life.

Book Review - Personality Plus by Florence Littauer
How a Popular Sanguines motives are usually just to have fun, and they just want everyone else to join in on that fun, he doesn't realise his sense of fun is not others sense of fun, he doesn't mean to lie or offend he only wants to see others enjoy a story even if he's not telling the true story, the truth is less important to a Sanguine... he doesn't want to know about his weaknesses, even when he begs for you to tell him!.
Also how Perfect Melancholies are more prone to depression, and would more likely take your comments to heart, but hes the one you can get into deep meaningful conversations with, a very analytical and deep soul.
And how awesome Peaceful Phlegmatics are, you know you will get on with them, but also know they would need lots of motivation to actually do anything, an exciting passionate romance with one of them just wont happen .. but how peaceful life would be around them.
Powerful Cholerics are great as leaders, not much else to say about them I guess, I think I would rather avoid them in a social situation.
But of course its not as simple as all that, most people are combinations of all these types, or have 'masks' of types hiding the true temperament, but its been interesting to discover myself in there, and witness the traits in others, some are very obvious strong on one major type, others are an obvious mix, others not so easy to define.... it was very interesting to see how I interacted and viewed them before I read the book and now after, much negativity and judgement has gone , especially toward the Popular Sanguine type, which as a strong Perfect Melancholy myself, I found delightful in small doses but failed terribly when trying to have any deeper connection with.
It explains why I can clash with my own type, having two Perfect Melancholies in a relationship can get very painful, as neither partner would ever be 'perfect' enough, and the attempts of both to 'correct' the other would end up in disaster, but also how I can connect with them on a deep level, and the joy of having someone else to analyse with is fantastic!.
And how I so very much appreciate the Peaceful Phlegmatic, and would keep them as friends for a lifetime, but perhaps romantically, it would be rather frustrating...
But a Peaceful Phlegmatic with a dash of Popular Sanguine a hint of Powerful Choleric with a touch of Perfect Melancholy, might make for a very tasty pie.
I think the main discovery I had was that, not getting along with someone did not mean I was a failure, or defective socially, and neither are they, its just the combination of temperaments could not co-exist peacefully, just realising that and accepting it makes all the difference, you don't even need to try to 'fix' it.. if you don't feel like putting in the energy, just accept it and move on, find people you do get along with naturally.
The only other thing I would mention about the book, is that it is written by a Christian, and has a few random religious quotes, great for other Christians, and not too much that it would bother non Christians.

When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about." ~Haruki Murakami~

A License to Kill
By Deacon Keith Fournier
� Third Millennium, LLC
I have spent a lot of time in bed lately. It seems like the day I turned fifty, I began to get �the flu�, or something like it, repeatedly. I have spent the last few months trying to recover. It has given me more time for prayer. But, alas, it has also led to a lot of time for mindless television. You know the drill, flipping the channels and watching the talking heads. I am a news �junkie� and a �policy wonk�. So, when I �zone out�, I end up listening to the chattering class.
It was while I was engaged in this latter pursuit that I heard the news about 16-year-old Erica Basoria, the pregnant teenage mother from Texas and boyfriend, 18-year-old Gerardo "Jerry" Flores. Flores now faces capital murder charges for killing two unborn children by beating his girlfriend in the abdomen. The bizarre twist to this horrible act, supported by the mother, was that she actually requested the young man to punch her in the abdomen repeatedly, precisely in order to kill these children.
Jerry Flores has been charged under the Texas Prenatal Protection Act. Erica Basoria has not been charged. The twins, are dead.
The Texas Act was passed in 2003 in order to protect unborn children. It is similar to the �Unborn Victims of Violence Act�, or �Conner�s Bill�, the Federal legislation named for Conner Peterson, the slain unborn child of Laci Peterson. The Act defines �individual� as, �a human being who is alive, including an unborn child at every stage of gestation from fertilization until birth.� The Texas Act is not applicable if the mother chooses to have an abortion.
There is no doubt of the need for such legislation and there is a welcome trend toward protecting children in the womb from violence, such as the growth of vehicular homicide laws that allow prosecutors to charge for the killing of children in the womb when a pregnant woman is injured in an auto accident. This type of legislation has played a vital role in calling public attention to the undeniable truth; children in the first home of the whole human race, the womb of their mother, are human persons. They should be protected from violent acts intended to kill or injure them and the State should prosecute those who commit such evil acts.
Yet, much of this kind of legislation has been carefully crafted to carve out an exception in the case of the killing of a child through an abortion. We all know the obvious insanity that this entails. That child is no less dead. The mother, not told the truth concerning what is really occurring, is the second victim. However, at least for now, the decision in the nefarious Supreme Court decision of Roe v Wade has afforded legal protection to this evil. Worse yet, it has called it a �constitutional right�, even though it is nowhere to be found in the Constitution and is clearly wrong.
The twist in this bizarre case out of Texas will help in our efforts to overturn Roe v Wade and stop the killing of children by legal abortion. The mother, Erica Basoria, informed the authorities she had been trying to kill her unborn children for months by punching herself in the abdomen. She filed an affidavit in which she stated: �When I was four months pregnant, I began to show, and at that time I decided that I should have gotten an abortion,� The same affidavit also said that her parents wanted her to have an abortion. �They said I was too young to have children,� she wrote. �About two weeks before the miscarriage, I started hitting myself�I would do this every other day and I would use both of my fists when I did this. I would hit myself 10 or more times.�
I found out about all of this by watching a �debate� on a national news program between two lawyers, concerning the propriety of charging this young man. While I was listening to these two lawyers debate on television, lying in bed, coughing, grieving for the victims, the children, the mother, the misguided killer, our Nation� I was particularly repulsed by these members of my own profession. �Lawyers� I thought to myself, �no wonder they are held in such disrepute.� Two members of the profession which is supposed to promote justice were arguing with each other playfully over an egregiously evil act. They repeatedly smiled for the camera, laughing and verbally jabbing at one another over this whole sordid incident in order to entertain. �Two babies were killed!� I thought to myself �Where is the outrage?�
The woman lawyer, a prosecutor, tried very hard to separate the incident in Texas from what occurs in every abortion. She defended the State of Texas for filing the criminal case against the young man who had committed the heinous deed. The other lawyer, a man, was not opposed to abortion at all, but tried to defend the young man, insisting that he should not be prosecuted at all because there was no criminal intent. His ...

State of the State: Hickenlooper calls for bipartisanship fiscal issues, touts recovery

In the speech, the governor lays out his legislative agenda for the 2015 session.
Slideshow: Gov. John Hickenlooper addresses a joint session of House and Senate members at the state Capitol during the annual State of the State address.
The following is the text of Gov. John Hickenlooper's prepared State of the State address delivered before a joint session of the Colorado Legislature on January 9, 2014.
During the annual State of the State address, the governor says creating even more jobs remains a top priority.
Specific goals outlined during speech to General Assembly include legalizing civil unions, regulations for the marijuana industry, support for aerospace and a funding structure for the Medicaid expansion.
On Thursday, Governor John Hickenlooper laid out his vision for the state in front of the 100 people who have the power to make it a reality -- or not.

First Blooms: Witch-Hazel in Greenwich Village
Witch-hazel. Many plants have evocative names, but few can beat witch-hazel. It sounds magical, although as an old-fashioned treatment for insect bites, maybe it is less than magic, but its scent always makes you feel cooler and fresher.
What is magical about witch-hazel is that it is, right now, on March 1st, in full bloom. The first tree (after all, it's still winter) to flower, witch-hazel does not have particularly showy blooms. Its yellow pales compared to daffodils or forsythia, but it shines in winter in its solitary assertion that spring is coming. So it looks pretty magnificent to me.
Several witch-hazels are blooming in the Village, nice ones in Hudson River Park, just south of Houston Street, and a beautiful tree in St. Luke's Garden on Hudson Street. Go enjoy their magic before the gardens run riot with color.
Spring is coming and now is the time to enjoy a gardening book! It's not too early. I got my seeds last weekend (morning glories, another magical plant).

If your idea of a good date is taking me to the gym......I might like you already! A ball game would be even better.
I think i'm a pretty well rounded individual, down to earth, funny, I'd do anything for those closest to my heart. I'm the "go to girl". I love to be adventurous but enjoy hanging out at home and watching a movie too. I'm all for fun but when it comes to relationships I despise playing games. Honesty and passion are key as well as a passion for life. People shouldn't have to rearrange their lives to accomodate one another, they either come together or they don't. I'm looking for someone who has goals and values, someone who can be my best friend and adores me and my daughter. I want someone to share my life with that makes me laugh and smile everyday. Life is way too short for anything else. What I'm not looking for are father figures so if you are old enough to be my dad or look like you're old enough I'm not the girl for you.

My free time is usually spent with my 14 year old daughter rooting her on at comp softball tournaments or just hanging out, going to the gym 5 days a week. Going to the movies, riding quads and camping. I recently discovered I love kayaking.

I've done quite a bit of testing. I have the Options>Image tab set to "Automatically resize images on upload."
1a. When uploading reasonably-sized images 1280 and 1936px wide, OR images already sized to final size, the resultant file sizes are huge, 300 to 500K. This is with "Scale images to max width 720px or max height 600px" checked. It actually makes the pre-sized originals 3 times the file size. At a ridiculously low setting of 20%, the image quality is no worse and the file size is still the same. Does this setting even work?
1b. When I uncheck "Scale images to max width 720px or max height 600px" the pre-sized images will upload without change, good result. This has to be used by a client, though, someone without Photoshop.
1c. When I re-size from the Manage Gallery page, the quality becomes less than desirable.
1d. The built-in WordPress upload with 3 image re-sizes is a very good result but not accessible from NextGen.
2a. What's even worse, the built-in Thickbox varies significantly in speed, even with some 60K images I pre-sized and uploaded. Load speeds range from 2 to 15 seconds. I've tried to make sure my computer isn't doing anything else while testing this. Is it most likely a script issue, a server issue, or a pipeline issue? A second pass through, with the images in cache is much quicker. But the delay is not much different on first pass with a 60K or 400K image.
2b. I have a slideshow on home page run by NextGen that takes 15 seconds for the first image to load after I upload new images.
3. Others need to use this, so I need a tool that's easy like this. I find it very convenient functionally. Thanks for any helpful feedback.
