Hi everyone! I'm new(ish) and have been lurking a bit. I love this thread and could use a little serenity in my TTC efforts, so hope I can join in. A little about me...Jenn, 35, married to hubby, 32, TTC #1 since January. Have some issues with ovarian cysts and wonky/anovulatory cycles, and working reaaalllyyy hard on trying to correct some of that (hopefully) with food and lifestyle changes. I just read WomanCode and it gave me some hope that maybe I have some power over this...we'll see. :) Can't hurt anyway!!
Anyhoo, currently 11dpo and just taking it day by day. I'm usually much more anxious waiting to ovulate because I don't know if I will. Once I ovulate I breathe a breath of relief knowing that at least my body is working. After I ovulate and we've done our best with timing, I know it's totally out of my hands and I just do my best to not to guess at every single thing I feel. I wont' even buy a hpt unless AF doesn't show up when expected.
So excited for those of you pregnant, love the beautiful belly pics! And will keep those of you TTC in my thoughts! I really like how everyone can mingle together in this thread. I was posting on another site and they were super strict about posting in your "proper cycle forum". I kept thinking, "but I want to talk to ladies in all stages of this journey!".
Mares- your new house is my dream house!!! Even though I've always wanted the house in the woods, now that we're TTC I feel even stronger about it. I keep checking craigslist to see what's out there. What area do you live in? We're in Tacoma so I mostly look around here but I'd pretty much live anywhere between Bellingham and Corvalis. Of course, hubby would need a new job so that might not be feasible. Anyway, congrats on the house, sounds wonderful.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!!
me 40, DH 40, one (TTC since November 2012) At least one confirmed chem.Ivf #1 march 2014 - 6 day 6 blasts, bfn, 4 frosties. Ivf #2 may, cancelled, Ivf #3 July two transferred, 3 frosties... BFP! Scan at 6+4 wks - twins!! Feeling more blessed than words!
Just a thought on your wonky cycles, have you had your ovaries scanned by ultrasound? I ask because I had slightly wonky cycles and small cysts on my ovaries. I was diagnosed with pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which was devastating at the time, however I was put straight onto drugs and I adjusted my diet and hopefully it will help. It may be worth you having a scan and hormone testing if you haven't already.
Chuord- so good that your parents will be there to support you :-) unfortunately I have to manage my mum. She has anxiety and worries about me, which doesn't help me in any way and makes it more difficult. So I have told her just the broad outline of what I'm doing and trying to manage her fears. Really pleased for you that you will have some help. Did you say is collection Saturday?
Mamablue and primal- getting diapers makes those little babies feel even more real and imminent. I'm now in a new phase of excitement for your journeys. I love that I have followed you through from TTC to BFP and soon to birth!! That is really amazing. I feel so privileged to have shared your journey.
Afm- I'm on day3 of shots. They are going ok. My next scan is on Saturday and I will probably start the cetrotide then. My biggest problem at the moment is DH! He is so focused on work at the moment. I have got him to cut down his caffeine and give up coffee. Honestly, you'd think it was a big deal for him. I do get a but annoyed when I am having shots every day and scans every two days plus the operations to collect and implant the eggs- and he gets grumpy about taking time off work for the consent sessions. Grrrr men!!
Anyway hope you have a lovely day.
I've had many ultrasounds done and I always have a "complex" cyst on each ovary. Not the typical pco cysts and No other symptoms of pcos. This has been going on for years.They haven't been overly concerned just keeping their eyes on them. I haven't had hormone testing done because my hmo refuses. If I don't get pregnant soon I'm going to switch Drs to my husband's naturopath clinic and insist they do some testing. I'm hoping with my lifestyle changes they'll go away and my hormones will balance out on their own. I'm still ovuating more often than not, so theoretically I can get pregnant despite the cysts.
Thanks for the welcome, everyone! 12dpo for me today, no temp drop yet. I don't feel very pms-y besides slightly sore boobs and a bit tender in the uterus, not crampy though. Unless I got my O day wrong, I would expect AF anytime. If nothing happens in the next few days I'll probably test Sunday or Monday. If I did get O day wrong, I'd be on 8dpo...but my longest cycle ever was 35 days and I'm currently at 33. So we shall see! I don't feel pregnant but it would be a very welcome Memorial Day surprise!
Sorry about the typos, I'm on my phone.
I've got a scan this morning (sat) and possible trigger today not collection... Hoping collection is Monday - as dh is available for support lol
Jenn- glad to hear you are not pcos, I hope they find something easy to help you :-)
Today I had another scan and I have 15 follicles (8 right and 7 left). I'm very excited! The largest was 11 and the others are not far behind. I have a few smaller than that so the nurse said some of those may catch up. I start cetrotide shots tomorrow and back for another scan on Monday. DH went with me today and he was so sweet! It's the first time he's been to an ultrasound with me and he loved seeing all the follicles. I am trying to make it all real for him as he doesn't have the aching ovaries!!
Mamablue, wengrin, primal- hi!
Please can one of my American friends explain memorial weekend to me? What is the history and what do you do to celebrate? Happy Memorial Day (if you say that!!!)
oxford, Memorial Day is to commemorate those who have died while serving in our Armed Services, I think particularly in war. It is a three day weekend for us. There are probably parades and stuff in some towns, but I don't know how many people celebrate it in it's intended way. A lot of people go camping, have bbqs, go out of town on trips. I have a feeling it may be celebrated differently depending on where you live. I don't live in a very "patriotic" area, so I don't really see celebrations that are in honor of the actual spirit of the holiday, but that might totally different elsewhere.
Great news on your follicles! Although parts of ivf are a bit painful (the ovaries lol) the way it is so clinical and organized is quite relaxing - knowing it will all be organized! Fx you only have to do this once xxx
Jenn- thanks for the explanation. I hope all my American buddies had a lovely memorial weekend. Come on everyone, report in with your adventures!
Afm, I was back on for another scan today. Most of the follicles are about 14 but I have a big one at 18. The nurse said they will probably let that one over ripen to let the others grow and get a good crop. It's nice to see them progressing. If my cycle goes ahead I will have collection on Friday or Monday. I'm starting to look forward to it to escape the ache in my ovaries and the banging headache!
Have a good day everyone!
Oxford - Sounds like things are moving along right on schedule. Your meds are giving you headaches in addition to the swollen abdomen? Sorry to hear that. How are the doing with administering your injections? Not too sore, I hope. Are your scans daily? every other day? I'm feeling so excited for you and Mr. Oxford and your ripening eggies.
AFM - I'm happy and doing good. Baby is getting stronger and bigger. My belly is a big round clumsy orb and I'm loving every single second of having it. I will miss it when it's gone. I've been combating some swelling in my lower legs and feet. Nothing dangerous or too noticeable by others, but I find it rather unsightly. Other than that very minor inconvenience, things are great. Just tackling a few house projects while I'm still able. This weekend I shoveled out the side yard to make way for pouring concrete, while my husband cleaned out our rain gutters. It felt good to do work like that. Today I'm going to mop my floors. Our floors throughout the house are limestone, so this will be quite the task.
I can't let o happen naturally as with that many follies it'll be the same thing (ohss) so I'm back on suppression without stims until they have withered away.
Re next month, no idea yet - I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens, but I'm hoping I'm good enough to at least do a semi stim iui or natural so I have a couple more eggs. We'll see...
Mamablue - wow digging is energetic work! Bet it lulled the baby to sleep though I don't envy you the mopping though. I cheated and got a cleaner in last week as I wanted to focus on the ivf - it makes you quite uncomfortable within the two weeks your tummy distends probably up to 4 months of equivalent, which as you ladies know is too fast for comfort!
Oxford - hang in there! It gets to be hard work towards the end, the skin is more sensitive to the shots too - but it will be so worth it!! Hugs and fx for you!
Welcome MsBe and Jenn!!
Chuord I am sorry about this cycle, big hug to you. But it sounds like you are peaceful about it and ready to move on to the next. Wishing you good luck and proper conditions for the coming cycle.
Primal- I had a similar experience with Brooke one time. Those rip currents are extremely deceiving. It's tough to know which direction the tide is going. Please don't blame yourself. I can only imagine how frightening that must have been watching it happen. To make my situation worse, Brooke is an excellent swimmer and we live at the beach so I wasn't keeping my eye on her (this was last summer). We had all of the kids at the beach and I lost her for about 5 min but I thought she was nearby. So I was looking for her but not frantic. Well she finally came walking up from far down the beach and I saw her and ran over to her. She had been swept all the way down in a rip current by herself and no one heard her. She luckily went with the current because we have talked about it before, and thankfully it went parallel to the shoreline instead of sweeping her out to sea. She was able to swim to shore once the ride eased up. It was awful feeling like I wasn't even there for her! She was fine though. We hear of drownings at our beach a lot. The tide is really strong sometimes. I am so glad your son is fine.
Glad to hear pregnancies are going well for the expecting mamas. Lindscott the IUI sounds promising!!
Oxford so happy to hear how the first IVF round goes!!
AFM I am finally feeling better!! Woohoo! I have been able to get out and about and back to normal. I still have nausea but no more vomiting. It's been a week since I threw up last! So grateful for that. I had an ultrasound last week and baby girl is doing great!
I will catch up more later. Need to put DS to bed. Night everyone!
Mamablue- bless you, out digging the garden with a big baby bump. Lol. You have a determined outlook on life. I hope your floors sparkled after all that work?
To answer your questions Mamablue, I'm having scans on alternate days. Yes I'm doing ok with the shots. The menopur is quite straight forward now I have got used to mixing the powders and the injection is small and thin with a small needle. However the cetrotide is a bigger injection and a bigger needle and it stings more than the menopur. I have one in my stomach and one in my thigh. I dread taking more stimulant as my ovaries are singing already. Thanks for your advice chuord that but gets more painful towards the end, I can really feel that already!!
I am hoping that collection will be on Friday so I can recover over the weekend. If not, it will be Monday and I will have to ache my way through the weekend. I also have a banging headache from the medication. Chuord, did you have that? I am drinking loads so it can't be that. Nearly over now though.
I'm at work today and I can't really get interested in it! I'm in the office in London and totally not focused!!!
Hope you are having a fab day.
Lovely to have you and the bump back wengrin :-)
I found that around 9-11 days of stimming seemed normal so you must be close. How big were the follies last scan? I think they grow around 2mm per day and when the smallest are around 18 they'll trigger you.
Thank you for the advice chuord, I am not looking forward to the last bit!! Have you had any more news about your next cycle? Are you chilling and enjoying a little break?
I ha another can this morning and they have told me to do the trigger shot tonight for retrieval on Friday. I have 5 big mature follicles, largest is 22, then about 10 immature smaller ones about 14ish. They will probably go for the 5. I'm looking forward to not taking cetrotide any more!!
Hope everyone is well?
Mares- how's your new home? Is it joyful to be living with DH again?
Oxford -- That's exciting! Go eggies go! DS is doing better. Got tearful when someone mentioned something that reminded him of the beach, so there is still some healing to do for sure. We saw his therapist for the first time today, and she seemed okay. I'm hopeful that this will be helpful for him.
Chuord -- Sorry to hear about the canceled cycle. You must be very disappointed. I hope your ovaries respond better to the next one. Will they be adjusting meds?
Mamablue -- Yup, big and clumsy over here, too. Loving it when I remember to be patient with myself and not expect to feel and move like my usual self.
AFM, not much interesting going on. Lots of baby acrobatics going on. The camping trip went well and was definitely what I needed. Settling in a bit more now that things are getting closer; probably no more trips before we get down to baby business. We'll start sorting clothes this weekend and start getting ready. It's surreal that we're just a couple of months away, but I guess it's a fact!
Primal - so good you already have a therapist for ds, im sure she'll help him work through it.
Ing you guys really are getting so close! Exciting stuff!
Good to hear the baby acrobatics! That must be an amazing feeling inside you! Take it easy and enjoy :-)
Chuord- how are you? Big hugs on still having the aches. I'm so relieved that you are out of danger and not risking anything, such a shame that you still have the aches though. Are you doing some nice things and treating yourself?
Afm, I'm not doing great today. Now my shots are over abd triggered my mind is focused on retrieval and winding myself up. I had nightmares last night about the procedure. It is playing on my mind. I need to get through today and tonight and get it over.
Have a good day everyone!
Oh btw, I read on another thread that there is some maintenance down time on here today.
Me - 40 - mthfr c677t and multiple unknown caused m/c's
DH - 41 - old and cranky
DS - 6 - ASD and severe adhd

Black History Month Project: Personal Stories from Young Black Americans #3
"I remember my first celebrity girl crush… I remember the first girl I wanted to kiss… I remember the first time I told someone… I remember. Being "different" in a world that embraces similarities is not only difficult; it's impossible without self-love.'
"Godmommy, I think I'm gay…"
"Morgan, no. You're not."
From that conversation, I began to shun the beautiful person inside, making every attempt to not acknowledge or feed the curiosity within my eleven-year-old body. Self-hate was born. In the fall of 2003, I was an excited and eager freshman at Spelman College, ready to learn all I could to take on the scary world that was to follow after graduation. Little did I know, the only thing scarier than the "real world" was discovering in one of my Diaspora classes that I was not only young, Black, and female. I was a lesbian. This made me a target and possible victim for all "isms," sure to make my life more difficult than I'd ever expected. Self-hate grew.
With so much hate and denial of myself, I felt the pain of the mirror. I was looking at a woman too afraid to be who she is as a result of her family, friends, and society. Interestingly enough, my older sister would help me figure it all out. On February 14, 2004, I lost my sister to asthma. At that moment, I discovered life was too short to be unhappy and I needed to explore these emotions I had tried to ignore since middle school. At that moment, I discovered self-love. I slowly came out to my new friends, relatives, and eventually began to proudly wave the banner of lesbianism.
Learning to love myself in a world full of divide was the best thing that could have happened to me. It gave me more confidence, and thereby impacted every area of my life. Relationships became stronger, business endeavors grew, and my life was made better by accepting, acknowledging, and loving the woman I am. Being young, Black, and gay in a world that doesn't completely embrace me requires self-love… Learn to love the person you are as you strive to become the person you are destined to be."

Help support development of Arcadecraft for PC by buying it through the link below!
It has been one year since Arcadecraft was released on Xbox 360. Since release it has sold around 65,000 copies on Xbox Live Indie Games! We are very happy with the success the game has seen so far and want to thank all the fans who have enjoyed and supported the game over the last year.
Now we want to announce that the worst kept secret in indie gaming is true. Arcadecraft is coming to Windows 7 PC and coming soon! In fact it is almost done. All that we are really waiting for is the remainder of the character models to come in. The rest of the game is as playable as the Xbox 360 version.
PC Features:
Why Was This an Uncertain Release for so Long?
The biggest issue was that the Avatars from the Xbox 360 version needed to come out and be replaced with all new characters. These characters needed a new rig and with a new rig comes redone animations. In addition to that we needed to support mouse control, and UI scaling for variable resolutions. That is a substantial amount of work, cost, and time. However, the sales of the Xbox 360 version hit a point where we thought that it was justified. Well, that and the emails we kept getting.
Didn't you pull it from Greenlight?
Yes we did. We were too busy working on another game to go back and support a port. We are still just two people and doing one thing means we cannot do another. The Greenlight numbers we were seeing at the time were a little weak so we were not too confident it would have been worth the cost to port it. On top of this, Valve actually suggests that you can pull down a Greenlight page and create a new one when there is substantial change to your plans.
Is there a New Greenlight Page?
If it does get to Steam will you give buyers Steam Keys?
If there is a straightforward way of doing that, sure!
Why only 16:9 resolutions?
Mostly because of the UI art and font positioning was done to support that mode and that scaling. We had to write our own in house tool for this game to support various PC resolutions combined with mouse support. As the game is pretty heavy with UI elements we thought it was the best trade-off we could manage for the time being. The UI art was originally made for 1080p so it doesn't blur or scale when displayed at 1920×1080. If there are enough requests we can look at supporting more options in the future.
Will you add content updates to Arcadecraft PC?
Like the Xbox version before it, it is completely dependent on how well this version does. We have the second arcade location that was meant to go into the Xbox 360 version but couldn't make it in if for technical reasons. We would like to add that to the game provided the audience is there.
Is Arcadecraft Moddable?
We honestly don't know. We didn't write tools to support modding but many great mods have worked around a lack of tools. Modders can probably figure out what they can and cannot change.
Is Arcadecraft DRM Free?
Yes it is.
What is Left to Do?
Besides the characters getting completed there are some minor bugs, and the animations need to lined up to machines properly. Then we will redo the character dialogue portraits and complete the Character Select screen. Other than that a bit more testing for overall stability.
Where Can I Buy it When it is Done?
Right now you can pre-order it from the Humble Store from the graphic below! If there is immediate demand and if you don't mind some grey placeholder / doppelganger characters and possible bugs or compatibility issues we can put out an early access Beta of the game in a short time. That way it is in your hands sooner. The complete game with all the characters represented may be as soon as three weeks from now barring any technical delay.
It is now available to buy through the Humble Widget below!
Hello everyone!
Sorry for the radio silence on here. We use Twitter for more day to day updates and conversations and normally update the main site when we have more blanket news.
The update for AC is still coming along. You can hold us, (really me) accountable that we will show off some of the new features of the game this Friday, the 31st of May. This will include screenshots of the new location, 8 new standup arcade machines for 1986, and at least one pinball machine all located in the new arcade environment. You will likely also see some other assets here and there that all new.
So check back Friday evening and see what we have!

Cannot open a file
My computer wasn't responding, so I shut it down by pressing the turn off button. Ever since that incident, I cannot open DrScheme.app (a scheme application was open when i shut down my computer). I tried using zsh commands such as ./DrScheme.app as well as the comands exec and open. However, nothing worked. I would appreciate any proposal to this thread.
For future reference if an Application is frozen or unresponsive, use Option+Command+Esc to Force Quit just that one App. Do not hold down the power button to shut down.
Have you tried going into Disk Utility and running Verify Permissions? You may have messed some things up by shutting down in that manner. Try that first and if there are issues, Repair Permissions, Restart, and try to open your DrScheme app again. Report back here.

Does Columbia owe the preservation of its primary forests to war? This is one of the crucial questions posed by this documentary, which follows Franz Florez in his old bus full of snakes across a rural Columbia that is generally inaccessible. A Columbian vet who looks after wild animals, Franz is a real snake charmer. He doesn't hesitate to use them in order to effortlessly cross zones of a civil war now fed by cocaine production. In the heart of the jungle he even meets up with guerillas "who are fighting for a cause that people no longer really get", in order to invite them to become militants of species protection! Full of the most surprising characters, this documentary is a journey of discovery, inviting us to reflect on the relationship between man and nature.

May 7, 2015 - This is really good chocolate. The only thing I am upset about is that I didn't add more to my last order! I will definitely be stocking up on my next order and trying other kinds, too, as I have only bought the Dark each time I have purchased. Great as gifts, if they can last that long to give away:)

Future Northrend Instances 1 by Zlmodlor.
This article is fan fiction
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft lore or history. The characters, places, and events listed are of an independent nature and are applied for roleplaying purposes only.
After many long battles, Yogg-Saron was finally defeated and his corrupted guardians of Ulduar were destroyed by the brave adventurers from around Azeroth. The world relaxed, knowing that the Old God is finally dead. Now, they can focus on the Lich King. Preparations were made and troops were advancing to the Icecrown Citadel.
However, little did they know that Yogg-Saron is not really dead. No one could have known that the Forgotten One was part of the Old God... Nor could anyone know that it survived its encounter with Arthas and Anub'arak. As the Forgotten One was part of Yogg-Saron's body, the Old God quickly transferred his mind into it and severed ties with his old body before the adventurers dealt the final blow. Now, weakened, with all his servants dead or freed from his mind control, Yogg-Saron sought out the last of his loyal subjects, the Twilight's Hammer Cult, instructing them to make preparations. Other additions to his army included the legion of Faceless Ones that the Forgotten One controlled and a 10,000 year old evil: Lord Xavius.
Yogg-Saron used the last of his powers to summon Xavius out of the Maelstrom and ressurect him. Xavius then pledged his loyalty to him, in gratitude.
Soon, Dalaran sensing the emnations of dark, volatile magics seeping out of the underground caverns of Azjol' Nerub, quickly realised that Yogg-Saron is back. And this time, there will be no more failure on his part... The Kirin Tor are seeking more brave adventurers to enter the old God's new base, in the recently discovered depths of the Inner Kingdom of Azjol' Nerub.
Two new instances!!
- Twilight Citadel (5man dungeon with normal and heroic mode)
- Caverns of the Old God (10man/25man raid)

December 1
Saturday, 9 am - 1 pm
led by Steve Weintraub
(CE credits available - see below*)
Zen master Dogen says that essential to our Zen understanding is "taking the backward step, and turning the light inward." In this zazen-focused morning, practicing as a community of psychotherapists with like minded people who face similar issues and challenges, we will work on ways of bringing our Zen practice to bear on our life's work. This is a way to strengthen our root sense of purpose and refresh our practice. The morning will include 25-minute sitting meditation periods alternating with periods of walking meditation, and talks and discussion focusing on how our practice does and can inform our clinical work. This event is appropriate for those therapists who have had or would like to have experience with more extended sitting practice than is offered in a workshop setting. We'll end our morning together by sharing a vegetarian lunch, provided by Green Gulch Farm.

Ever thought about writing your own computer programs? Want to create your own computer games?
Ever since Dr. Azumi's mysterious departure, his colleagues at Cybertrek Industries have been searching his laboratory for some clue as to where he may have disappeared to.
A few days ago, while examining the wooden desk in his office, they discovered a small secret compartment hidden behind one of the drawers. Inside the compartment was a very old and strange-looking book.
Even though they had been studying the book incessantly, nobody at Cybertrek Industries was able to comprehend more than its first few pages.
The first person who correctly answered all the riddles in Dr. Azumi's book was Jepson:
If you think that you too might be able to succeed in this effort, just click the image of Dr. Azumi's book that you see below:
Use only numbers when answering numerical questions, and use only lower case letters (no punctuation of any kind) when answering non-numerical questions. If an answer requires two or more words (or numbers), do not separate them with spaces.
(Notice: If you do not have Windows on your computer you may not be able to reach page 21.)

Since then, hundreds of other game makers have implemented his "URL-completion" method in the design of their own games (e.g., "This Is Not Pr0n", etc.).

Editor's desk: Happy year of the water snake!
Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Hey Faat Choi, 恭禧發財! Happy year of the water snake! I spent most of my early twenties surrounded by Chinese culture, and spent many a Chinese New Year in China Town (or China block as it's probably better referred to in Montreal), on stage, taking part in the festivities and demonstrations. I even got to spend one in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The people, the food, the fireworks, and lion dancing, all if it holds a special place in my heart and my memories.
This year I'm going to get some Dim Sum, give out some red envelopes (hey, the new iPod nano fits perfectly in those!), and pay lots of respect to those who came before and have taught and given me so much. Then I'll probably watch a bunch of martial hero movies and blog the day away. Meanwhile...
- We're still not done with the Macworld|iWorld 2013 videos. Martin has edited and sent them all my way, and I'm uploading the last of the now. We'll get them all posted up by the end of the week. I don't want to flood the site with endless videos, so we'll stick to 2 a day so each gets the attention the app or accessory deserves.
- Now that CES 2013 and Macworld|iWorld 2013 are behind me, I'm looking forward to GDC 2013 at the end of March. If you're a game developer and you're going to be there, let me know.
- We might have something special before GDC as well. No spoilers. Stay tuned.
- I'm looking at moving the iMore show back to Wednesday nights. I left it on Sunday because it seemed like, after talking for 2 hours about Apple stuff on MacBreak Weekly every Tuesday, Wednesday was too soon. If it does move back, though, we'll change up the format a bit. Let me know what you prefer.
- Speaking of podcasts, we have Grant Paul (chpwn) coming up on this week's Debug, and a very special round-table on the future of Apple design, and skeuomorphism vs. digital authenticity on Iterate. We're also starting to put together the next Ad Hoc, and it's looking to have a very dark, very knighted forecast.
- Jailbreak is back, baby! After almost a year of inactivity, and concerns that the days of jailbreak might be over, the evasi0n team delivered, and a huge percentage of you took the plunge. If you're one of the newly jailbroken, how are you liking it?
- Fitness Month week 1 is now over, but thanks to it a lot of us are re-focused on our exercise regime. I did 90 minutes of Muay Thai yesterday followed by some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I'm reminded again how fickle cardio is. No matter how hard you work on it, the minute you stop paying attention, it leaves you. Only thing to do about is to keep doing.
- Week 2 starts tomorrow, and it'll be all about nutrition. We'll have some more contests for you to enter, and lot more app and accessory reviews for you to enjoy. And, of course, a ton of forum threads for you to take part in. Eating clean may be harder than getting back into exercise, but let's bring it on!
Once again, to everyone who celebrates it, happy year of the water snake. If you have any great new year apps to recommend, please leave them in the comments! To everyone else, happy Sunday!

Editor's desk: Happy year of the water snake!
Same thing with Tết in Vietnam too (same date too, 10 Feb).
Chúc Mừng Năm Mới (Happy New Year)!
iMore show on Sunday's I like it there, I can watch it there usually, except when it interferes with The Walking Dead....hmm, you know what, Wednesday might be easier.
Re: "I'm looking at moving the iMore show back to Wednesday nights."
No preference here. Maybe 60/40 in favor of Sunday.
But what do you mean about changing the format?
Maybe a guest segment every once in a while would be cool.
Re: "Week 2 starts tomorrow, and it'll be all about nutrition."
Mmmmmmm.... Do-nuts!
Love the forms!
Happy Chinese New Year! Really like the picture. :)
I love that photo. It looks like a scene from an epically awesome movie.

State of Rhode Island
Department of Health
The primary goal of the HIV/AIDS surveillance program is to monitor the number of new HIV/AIDS cases in Rhode Island; monitor the changes in the disease transmission among people at high risk for HIV/AIDS infection; and identify HIV/AIDS cases of public health importance to better understand the disease impact. The program helps to assess the disease impact among certain target populations, especially among communities of color, who are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS Surveillance program works closely with several internal partners on projects that contribute to decreasing HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality in Rhode Island. The HIV/AIDS Surveillance program works closely with HIV Provider Community of Rhode Island to capture important case related data from new and existing HIV/AIDS cases. Data collected as part of the case reports are de-identified, analyzed, and sent to the CDC on a regular basis. Data are also published in the Annual Epidemiological Profile that helps the prevention programs and Rhode Island Community Planning Group (RICPG) to identify target areas. The Profile also provides information directly to community resources so that caseworkers and providers can adequately identify and address HIV/AIDS health concerns among disproportionately affected communities in Rhode Island.

What will be the fate of a historical church in Rochester?
A local developer has been given the OK to demolish the church on West Main Street if it's replaced by a grocery store. If all goes as planned, it would be the first grocery store in the neighborhood in more than 25 years.
But some neighbors argue against knocking down historic buildings to make way for modern convenience and have concerns about the developer.
The Rochester Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5/1 to tear this old church down to make room for an 18,000 square foot grocery store. It's something neighbors have been clamoring for, for years.
"This is a great day for the people of the southwest side," said Marvin Maye, developer.
It has been a long road to get here for Marvin Maye. The Rochester developer says he has been trying for two and a half years to put a store on West Main Street. In 2012, he proposed opening a Dollar General Store, but couldn't get approval. However, on Wednesday the Zoning Board of Appeals okayed a grocery store with some conditions.
"I found a grocer that was interested in coming in and doing work here in the community. He'll give us a shot and come to the neighborhood and do this. I think that is great, so that's what I've been working on. We're just elated," said Maye.
Maye won't say which grocery store chain will be opening up, but he showed News10NBC what the store will look like. He says it will not only bring in food and fresh produce at reasonable prices, but it will also create 40 jobs.
"We've needed this market for well over 25 years," said Victoria Lang, a neighbor that lives nearby.
This is news Victoria Lang and her mother Bertha Smith Isreal have prayed to one day hear. Isreal says a number of the people who live in their neighborhood don't drive and can't get to the Big Suburban Grocery Store regularly.
"I am excited. I told them before if I need a load of bread I can walk with my cane down there, and I wouldn't have to wait for someone to come along," said Isreal.
Stacie Colaeprete says she is skeptical of any promises, and she's disappointed in the board's decision. She's lived next door to Zebb's Plaza, which is owned by Maye, and she doesn't like the way it's maintained.
"I've lived next to Zebb's Plaza long enough to know what it's going to look. He has no reason to change the conditions, and nobody makes him change it," said Colaeprete.
The board approved the proposal on the condition that financing is secured in advance. Only a grocery store will be allowed, and if a grocery store doesn't pan out, Maye will have to go back to the board to get approval for anything else.
