What went right
For the past few months, the most common blog email I receive is "how did you finally get pregnant?"
I have a hard time answering these emails because:
- I've been there. I know what it's like to feel so desperate and hope that there's some clear missing link that's stopping you from getting pregnant. I was set to try a low-carb, PCOS-friendly diet in my next cycle even though my doctor said not to bother. But I was willing to do anything.
- I'm not sure what went right. I wish I could tell you that doing x and y will lead to a + pregnancy test. But it's not so simple. Unfortunately, life is not a controlled science experiment and I'll never know why it finally worked. Even if I did, there's no guarantee that the same formula will work for you.
That being said, I'm more than happy to share why I think I got finally pregnant. (I basically did everything I planned to when I said I'd do whatever it takes):
- I cut back on exercise drastically. In mid-December, I stopped running more than 6 miles at a time. I limited my weekly mileage to 20 miles, plus swimming 2-3 days a week, and yoga 2-3 days a week. This was still too much. I gave up swimming in February, limited my running mileage to 10-15 mpw, slowed my pace a lot, and kept up the yoga. I got pregnant at the end of March.
- I didn't exercise the two days after I ovulated… but I was pretty active the rest of the 2 week wait. The time off exercise was not planned since I was told there was no way I could be pregnant; I was just busy. At 3 days past ovulation, I kicked up the running intensity a lot. I knew I was out for the cycle, so I ran hard and often. I logged 30+ miles in the next 10 days.
- I gained 4-5 lbs… even though I really didn't need to. For years I hovered at 135 lbs, which put my BMI at a healthy 21.1. Then I read a study that a BMI 21 and under could cause ovulatory dysfunction (source). I gained weight quickly (thanks to over-eating constantly) and was up 4-5 lbs the month before I got pregnant.
Probably most importantly, I took a new drug. My doctor finally let me switch from clomid to anastrozole. I'm not saying my little lifestyle tweaks had nothing to do with getting pregnant (I definitely plan on making those same changes next time), but I knew my body liked the new meds. A few days after my last dose of anastrozole, I had fertile cervical mucus for the first time ever… and we'll leave it at that
The best advice I can give anyone going through infertility is find a good reproductive endocrinologist (RE). If your RE has you take the same drug month after month without results, it's time to see someone new. And please don't see an Ob/gyn for your fertility. Ob/gyns are not fertility specialists, so it's best to see a doctor who is. So many people- myself included- waste precious time and money working with an Ob/gyn before moving on an RE. Go directly to an RE if you have or suspect you have a fertility issue.
Some other friendly advice: if your husband has a good sperm count, have regular sex. Couples who have sex every one to two days get pregnant most quickly (source). Of course, abstain when your doctor tells you to if you're having a fertility procedure done. If we had waited until when my doctor said I should ovulate to get busy, I would not be pregnant.
Hang in there, friends. Unfortunately, some of us have to fight this very unfair battle. It'll be one of the hardest things you'll ever go through, and most people in your life won't understand (nor will they try to understand) your pain. Keep fighting. I promise you'll come out on the other side with the family you always dreamed of having
WE ARE FERTILITY TWINS! it was a little more drawn out for me but so interesting that i paralleled you on the running, the weight (had to get to 21 BMI to make it happen!), and the medicine (letrozole in my case instead of anastrozole, but same thing really). maybe if this post had come out a year earlier it wouldn't have taken me so long
Thank you so so much for this post. I've been reading your blog since you got pregnant and this is my first time commenting, so hi! I just had to comment on this because we're currently trying and it just gets so confusing and frustrating on why it's not happening for us. I went off the pill 6 months ago, still haven't gotten a period, not pregnant, and diagnosed with athletic amenorrhea. Did you ever have a problem getting a period. So being the fitness enthusiast that I am, it's hard to know how much to cut back on exercise, should I gain weight, etc. I know every body is different, but thank you for sharing what you think worked for you, it's hard to not feel alone in this so knowing what other women had to do to get that miracle is so helpful to me. Thank you
I feel like cutting back on exercise and gaining a couple pounds makes a big difference. You can never isolate exactly what worked, but I feel like that's in most people's equations, mine included.
Thank you for this post! Even though I don't struggle with infertility, I did have a miscarriage earlier this year. After, the doctor and I chatted about getting pregnant again and what to change. I also decreased my running miles and slowed down the pace. He said not to go over 20-25 miles a week so I tend to hover around 18-20 miles a week now. I incorporated swimming and actually, have never felt better :). I also love how you are open in discussing this. It's not a pretty topic but as women, we need to be open about our struggles, hopes and desires. It only makes us stronger in the end
While I would imagine it's been hard at times, it's really great that you've been so open and honest about your struggles, and joys. There's no way for women to know what's right or wrong, or whatever, without hearing it from other women you have been through the same thing or are going through it. I'm not looking to get pregnant, but I think it's great that you're so open about it. Glad to hear you're feeling well and all is going smoothly! Take care!!
Actually not everyone gets the fairybook ending and the family they always dreamed of… Some people have to alter their dreams/plans because they truly are infertile and cannot conceive. Super happy for you but that last sentence is extremely untrue.
I stumbled across your post about wanting some health educator job ideas. I am health educator living in the mid-atlantic area. I teach childbirth education, baby care, breastfeeding, and natural childbirth classes in a large teaching hospital. I work per diem, decide my own hours, and make $39/hour. I typically teach about 10 hours a week. It's a perfect fit for myself and my family. If women's and children's health is something you are interested in you could put yourself through through the training (Lamaze, ICEA, IBCLC, etc..) and then look for a job at a hospital. You would be paid the current nurses per diem rate. My old job, doing the same thing in the Pac NW, paid $29/hour. The women who work in these departments are very diverse. Right now we have women teaching who have public health, social work, lactation, and nursing backgrounds. Plus, if you ever decide to pursue anything in the nursing field (RN, ARNP, etc..) you would have great clinical experience. Anyways…just a thought. Congrats on your pregnancy—your blog was fun to stumble across
I somehow found your blog and wanted to say a few things. I had a hard time getting pregnant, it took us about 15 months and after 1 year we went to an RE. They told me to cut back on my working out, which I had been working out a lot (half ironman training) then I had tapered down for 5 months, but kept my runs at about 10 miles and did the stairmaster for about 90 minutes. That was tapering down! When we saw the RE, I had a normal BMI (if that means anything) but they suggested I cut back on working out. I did only 30 minute workouts (4 mile runs, or stairmaster) and lifted weights. The first cycle of meds/IUI did not work. The second cycle did work (and I am 19 weeks pregnant), but the only change was that I didn't workout for the two days after the IUI and on the 3rd day I kept it short and easy…then I went ahead and ran anything up to about 6 miles. I don't know if the cut back in workouts or the two days off after the IUI worked, but it something did!
Question for you: After going to see your RE + getting pregnant, did you go to your same OBGYN that you were seeing before? I know my SIL has been seeing our OBGYN (we have the same one) and would like to get referred to an infertility specialist. She has been VERY unhappy with our doctor b/c she's been trying for over a year (taking clomid to ovulate) and is getting frustrated that she is still not pregnant. I love my OB but I also haven't had the same issues she's had, so I can understand how she is frustrated.
I'm never showing Isaac this post. If we ever want to get pregnant, I fear for my vagina. He already wants to have sex everyday. The pursuit of having a baby will just give him justification!
I have read this post before but now I get it. My heart breaks for you. I am so happy you were so brave and strong and won! You give me so much hope and courage
I know this is an old post, but any recommendations on how to find a good RE?

Oh, glorious revolution. The streets were alive with the
sound of clashing swords and unrestrained tongues. Violence was a
reality; those recognized by the Republic as enemies of the
Revolution didn't stand a chance. These were the nights of
Terror, a time of heightened conflict between the two leading
political parties in France at the time, the Girondists and the
Jacobins. Both the Girondists and the Jacobins vied for control,
the Jacobins being the most successful in that regard. Girondists
called for a democratic reign, with minimum federalist
characteristics. The Jacobins, however, wanted a strong,
centralized republican government.
Smoke from cigars filled the room as followers of the Jacobin Club crowded around a small, round table. Three men sat, Maximilien Robespierre, Jean-Paul Marat, and Jacques-Louis David, discussing the state of the French First Republic, whilst the rest of the room kept quiet and attentive.
"Something must be done, Maximilien."
"It's under control, Marat," replied Robespierre. "Anti-revolutionaries are being executed at a steady rate daily. None dare oppose us."
"Must it be fear that propels us, Monsieur Robespierre?" questioned a man from the group.
"Indeed, it must be so. We are ensuring what is best for the French people, with or without their support. Besides, the Girondists are on the verge of extinction. With them removed, who else will oppose the Republic?"
The meeting came to close, and the men involved parted ways. David and Marat met outside the hall and accompanied each other on their walk home. The air was crisp and cold, creating chills on the two men as they glided over the stone roads which clicked beneath their feet. Clenching their coats close to their skin, they went on together mostly in silence.
"The night is a tad cold, isn't it?" said Marat, his breath creating a cloud in front of him.
"Oui," chuckled David. "So much for a warm summer night."
"C'est la vérité," replied Marat. "That's the truth. How is Marguerite? Have the two of you spoken?"
"No, friend. She won't. Her views work against mine, I'm afraid. We've divorced, you know."
"I remember. I'm sorry to hear it, Jacques."
"Oui, II est tout droit. It's all right. I understand her apprehension. How is Simonne?"
"All is well," Marat said, pausing. "You know, Jacq, what we need is a martyr. A hero of the Revolution, someone willing to die for the cause we fight for."
"I'm sure we have plenty of those, unbeknownst to us."
"A public figure, I mean. A man the people know."
The two arrived at the door of Marat's home. Marat, nodding his head to David, made his way up the steps.
"I'll see you soon, David."
David continued on down the street, the cold of the night biting in to his bones. The wind whistled and swirled around him, wrapping him in its numbing chill. He pulled his coat tighter, and tighter still, hastening his pace. Sharp turn after another, the walkways appeared as labyrinths with each road leading deeper and deeper within. A light illuminated a doorway at the end of a corridor, seeping out from under it and casting an erie, red and yellow shade in to the alleyway which David had ended up in. He slowly inched his way to the door, turning the cold handle and pushing it open with a quiet creak. His eyes peered in, shooting from corner to corner, analyzing the details of every item in the room.
It was empty.
"I don't recall leaving the fire lit," he said, pushing his way into the warm, quaint little room.
Bookshelves lined a wall, and paintings the one perpendicular to it. An easel was located near the fire, the glow provided lighting adequate enough in which to paint. David removed his coat and tossed it on a table located in the left corner, and settled himself in a chair positioned in front of the fire.
"A martyr," David questioned aloud as he doused the warming flame.
. . .
Marat closed the door behind him, watching David wander off into the darkness. He made his way up the stairs, each one whining beneath his feet. Scratching his skin, which itched intensely and was covered in blisters, he made his way into the washroom, preparing his medicinal bath. Once in, he covered his head with a bandana soaked in vinegar, and set a wooden board across the tub, and began to write. He dipped the tip of his quill in the ink, a few times to make sure it was a sufficient amount. The pen scratched as it rubbed against the surface of the parchment. For hours he would write, scribbling his ideas down in support of the revolution.
His wife crept around the door way later that night, finding Marat asleep at his table. She shook him gently, waking him and requesting he come to bed. She cleared his table and set everything away and assisted him out of the tub and back to their room.
. . .
A young lady, whose hair was brown and fell in curled locks around her shoulders, knocked upon the door of David early the next morning. Almost instantly, the door opened, but only slightly as his eyes peered out into the bright shine of daylight. Suddenly, the door flew inwards and he pulled the lady in off the streets.
"I told you not to come here during the day, Charlotte."
"I am sorry. I had to see you."
"Quoi? What is it?"
David shut the door behind her, and the latched locked after it. He closed the blinds on the windows, that, moments before, had allowed the sunlight to pour in, illuminating the room, and casting long shadows onto the floor. For a few moments, the room sat in darkness as David prepared the fire. Soon, it began crackling and casting its warm, yellow light into the room. The two spoke softly so that, be there spies about, they would not be heard.
It would seem that David and this young lady, Charlotte Corday, had begun an affair sometime ago, which led, partly, and mostly in secret, to the split of David and his wife, who split on claims of different political views. Corday and David would meet at night, at his place or hers, whichever the two felt safest for the moment, and would part before daybreak. Today, however, Corday brought it upon herself to come during the day, which angered David greatly.
Corday told David of the things that Marat had wrote of her good friends, which had led to their deaths. Many of them had been Girondists, so it was not of any interest to David, whose political agenda had been served by it. However, seeing the pain it had inflicted upon Corday troubled him a bit.
"So what is it you wish be done, Charlotte?"
"I wish for Marat to be taken out," she said, her voice cold and distant. "That man is a monster."
David thought for a moment. His relationship with Corday had been a growing problem, seeing as it could result in his execution, as well as public scandal, but he could rid himself of her if he were to assist her with this. It would mean the death of his dear friend, but it would spare him, and further the efforts of the Jacobin party.
"You wish him gone? Then do so yourself."
"Are you mad? They will have me executed!"
"I will see to it that it is not so. Killing Marat will make the Jacobins tremble, for they will believe that the Girondists are further from eradication than previously thought. By believing this, they will be hesitant to go after you anyway, and I will push that they don't do so. Stay around after you kill him, to influence their opposition to your execution. But tell no one that you know me. If you do, then I will have no choice but to allow them to prosecute you."
"You promise this will work, David?"
"De tout mon cœur, je le jure. I swear it."
"Where will I find him?"
"He may be in the Convention the next few days. You may find him there. But give me at least one day to ensure everything is ideal."
"And what is today?"
"Today is the eleventh."
"I thank you, Jacques. I beg that you forgive me for the death of your friend, but you know he is a monster. He will kill thousands if this is not done."
"So you say."
David led Corday out through a crawlspace that would empty her back upon the bustling streets of Paris without anyone ever knowing of where she had came from. She shuffled back onto eye level after exiting, for the space was only 4 feet tall, and hurriedly shut the door to the space behind her and hopped into the busy sidewalks.
Back at the room, David shut the door that opened up into the crawlspace, slamming it, and twisting the lock furiously. He slumped into the floor, his back against the wall, and his face buried into his hands.
. . .
The next day David attended various meetings at the Convention Hall, with no sighting of Marat. He spotted Corday various times throughout the day. She looked his way, but didn't dare approach him. He would only glance in her direction but never paid full attention to her.
The day ended quickly, though the sun crept back slowly behind the horizon, making the sky turn orange with a bright shot of yellow, decreasing in intensity as it made its way to towards the heavens, with the moon hanging lightly above it. David made his way down his usual path, and, with the night not cold as the day before, took his time. He stopped by Marat's, and made his way up the stairs. David's hands made a muffled knock upon the smooth, thick, mahogany wood. He waited a moment, then the door opened slowly, with Simonne standing in the doorway.
"Ah, David, je peux vous aider? What can I help you with?"
"I'd like to see Jean."
David followed Simonne inside, shutting the door behind himself, and rushed up the stairs into the washroom.
"Jacques!" exclaimed Marat, who was surprised to see David.
"Where have you been, Jean? I haven't seen you at any of the meetings today."
"My skin has become too irritable. I can't stay out of this for more than a moment without having to tear apart my flesh."
"I see. Will you be back tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid I won't be returning at all, for awhile at least. Instead, I will just write from home."
"Understood. Sorry to bother you, friend."
"Ce n'est pas un problème. Au revoir."
The door closed gently behind David as he stepped from the stairway onto the quiet sidewalk and began his journey home. He toured again through the same maze that took him to his house, a cool, steady breeze following him all the while. Burden was heavy on his mind, for he knew what would be soon to follow. His walk ended familiarly, staring at the end of that same dark corridor, the lit flame behind his door the only thing throwing light upon it. He hoped no one would be inside, just as before, but he knew it to not be the case. Approaching slowly, he turned the knob and let the door pull itself inwards. Corday sat in his chair in front of the fireplace.
"I didn't see him today. He wasn't there, was he? Then I saw you stop by his house. Are you planning something, Jacques?" Her expression was set cold upon her face, as if chiseled into cynicism.
"No, my dear. I was as surprised as you. I stopped by to see where he had been. He has taken ill inside his home. That is where you will find him."
"How will I get in? His wife is always home, is she not?"
"She occasionally delivers letters for Jean. They are at irregular times, but if you are lucky to make it at that time, that is your keenest opportunity, if you were wishing to do it with no witness. But that's not what we discussed, was it? You are to go while his wife is home. That way she will see, and it will help your argument."
"I recall," her voice trailed off in thought. "But again, how will I get in?"
"Write a letter with the names of your friends who are aligned with the Girondists and say you wish to have them executed. He will gladly see you then."
Corday was aware of David's involvement with the Jacobins, but he had slyly convinced her that it was only because of dedication to the Girondists that he allowed himself to become close to leaders within the Jacobin party, so that he could keep the Girondists on top.
"C'est bien. I will see you tomorrow. You can assure that I will be safe?"
"I can, as long as you tell no one you know of me. Even if things seem to be taking a turn for the worst, you must promise me this."
"I promise."
"Good. You must leave now. Much is to be done tomorrow."
. . .
David woke early to the sound of heavy rain tapping the roof that hung overhead. He lied in his bed, wrapped warmly in the smooth, silk blankets, staring blankly as he washed the rain gather in sheets as it slid quickly down the glass windows, gathering in puddles upon the sills and falling off again, splashing into piles of standing water in the crevices of the stone pathway outside his home. His stomach was twisting about in pain, causing him to double over and clench at his side with nausea. The room began to pick up and spin around, as if held on an axis, and colors swirled together, creating the most hideous shade, as objects in the room became ugly, unrecognizable blurs and he couldn't stand it any longer.
"God, what have I done? I've arranged for the assassination of a dear friend," said David, pulling at his hair as a way to relieve this nauseating anxiety that was now being drowned out by crippling depression. Soon, though, it gave way to a feeling of emptiness, of nothing.
For hours, David stared out the window, watching the same repetitious rainfall. His mind was completely void of differing thought. As if he were some automated machine, he just played over the events of the past few days in his head.
"I've got to stop this. I need to warn him," David thought, dragging himself from bed, and dressing himself as quickly as he could.
He locked the door behind him, assuring that Corday could not get back in, were things to go wrong. The rain was cold and bitter, drenching David's cold and causing them to stick irritatingly to his skin. As quickly as he could, he ran over the slick streets, navigating his familiar labyrinth with ease. He arrived to the home of Marat to find the the police arriving on the scene.
"I'm too late," he murmured, rushing inside.
"David!" cried Simonne. "That wench killed him! They've taken her already. She's set to be executed."
"Who?" he questioned, though he very well knew the answer.
"A Girondist by the name of Charlotte Corday."
. . .
Corday strode up to the house of Marat around noon, knocking upon the smooth, wooden door, looking around to see if there were any around watching. She twirled the envelope around in her hands nervously, a blade carefully concealed in her garments. Simonne answered and eyed her carefully.
"Oui? May I help you?" asked Simonne suspiciously.
"I would like to see Jean-Paul Marat, s'il vous plaît. You are his wife, oui?"
"Correcte. And you are?"
"Charlotte Corday. May I please speak with him? I have a list of those speaking in favor of the royalist that I know he would like to see."
Against good judgement, Simonne allowed Corday to enter.
"Wait just a moment," she said to Corday, as she climbed the stairs and went to the washroom to speak to Marat.
"Jean, there is a women named Charlotte Corday here to see you. She says she has a list of those against the revolution for you. However, I think you should decline seeing her. I can get the list for you if you wish."
"Nonsense, Simonne," Marat said, shifting himself around in his bath. "Send her up, my dear. I'll have her out in a few moments."
She did as her husband instructed and had the young lady sent up. Corday crept up the stairs slowly, taking deep breaths along the way. The actions she took in the next few moments, she thought, could alter the course of history for France, the world, even.
"Monsieur Marat?" said Corday, peaking into the washroom.
"Oui, come in! Madame Corday, correcte?"
"That's right. I have a list for you, Monsieur Marat. A list of counter-revolutionaries," she said, playing the part David had assigned her quite well. "They are threats to the Republic of France."
"Very well, my dear! I shall have them executed swiftly, then. I must thank you for coming forth with this information."
No sooner than he uttered those words did Corday remove the blade from her dress and thrust it into his chest. Marat screamed out in pain, grabbing at Corday's wrist, before falling limp and lifeless, his body turning white with pallor.
Simonne rushed the stairs to see what caused the screams of her husband. Upon seeing Corday standing over the lifeless body of her beloved, she broke down to the floor in tears for a few moments before scattering to her feet to go and get the police.
. . .
"I'm very sorry, Simonne. He was a dear friend."
"'I killed one man to save a hundred thousand.' That's what she's said at her trial. She said she acted alone. And she kept looking around for someone, as if she figured someone was there to save her. I hope they have her executed swiftly, too."
"I wish to make a painting. Will you allow it?" David said, thinking over Corday's last words, or what he would believe to be her last.
"Of course, David."
"He had been speaking of wishing there was some martyr for the revolution. I will ensure that my painting achieves that wish."
The next few days say David at work, his easel set up at the scene of Marat's assassination. He mixed together his oil paints and pressed them against the canvas, slowly creating the rigid, stone like shapes he was known for. The back wall he painted as a deep, dark black, fading into more light as it moved to the right, becoming a lighter shade of black with white and gray thrown in until it became gray with white and browns. His long, rigid fingers maneuvered the brush so delicately, creating the folds in the cloths that covered the tub, the undermost layer being white, with shades wrapping around each fold and turn in the sheet. Crimson stains dripped at the top of the sheet, at the spot where it wrapped around the tub, and made its way a few inches down the sheet.
Marat's arm lie dropped off the side, with his pen in hand. His head was laid back, wrapped in his vinegar headband, a smile on his face, resting upon another piece of furniture wrapped in the same white sheet. The shading on his face was added softly, creating a warm, illuminating effect upon his skin, which David painted as flawless, in the style of religious paintings. A brown board, with a smooth highlight, poked out from under a green sheet that laid atop the white one. Marat's left arm lie atop this sheet, papers lain before him and the letter given to him by Corday still gripped in his hand.
In front of the tub, David added a tombstone, with a brownish-red covering the surface in a stained-looking fashion to give the appearance of age. Atop the stone, sat an ink bottle and a quill as well as various other papers. Painstakingly, as he did with each painting, he made sure each figure was statuesque. He added the final touches to Marat's body, bringing out the highlights, and adding the final shadows on the sheets.
"Here's your martyr, Marat," he said, writing something that would appear as an inscription on the tombstone in the painting. It read: "à Marat," signed, "David."

What makes Cowgirl Granola different from other granolas is that every blend is loaded with five different nuts (whole almonds, whole cashews, Texas pecans, walnut halves and pieces as well as raw organic pumpkin seeds) which are an excellent source of protein, antioxidants, minerals, monosaturated fats and other nutrients, and they're good for the heart. With just a hint of brown sugar, the dried fruit is the real sweetener.
One-quarter cup has approximately 150 calories, nearly 5 grams of protein, almost 5 grams of fiber, just 7 grams of sugar, 7 grams of fat (which comes from the nuts, so it's good fat), 0 grams of saturated fats and only 40 mg of sodium.
Seasonal Blends
Throughout the year, Heather comes up with a variety of seasonal blends including the greatly anticipated Thanksgiving mix which has a selection of pumpkin spices and dried orange-cranberries.
There is also the Christmas Spirit blend featuring seasonal and whole dried cranberries but this time with the traditional holiday spices including cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg. This blend smells and tastes like Christmas in a bag!
February's Rodeo San Antonio is studded with dried organic banana chips and raw organic sunflower seeds.
In honor of San Antonio's Fiesta, a 10-day celebration of the city's multicultural heritage that began in 1890, Cowgirl Granola's Fiesta blend is sprinkled with dried strawberries.
Loaded with organic blueberries, cranberries and toasted shredded coconut, the Independence blend has such devotees, that it is offered throughout the entire month of July.
Storing Cowgirl Granola
Because Cowgirl Granola is all-natural with no additives or preservatives, it is recommended that it be stored in the freezer. While it will not "freeze," it will keep it fresh and help retain the wonderful texture. If kept in the freezer, Cowgirl Granola will last several months. Otherwise, left at room temperature, the shelf life is approximately 10-12 days. But, honestly, it's best eaten directly from the freezer!

Step Up Your Stepping Out
Brandy Library boasts "the biggest collection of brown spirits in New York," more than 900 rare bottles and a comprehensive cocktail menu that features all the classics. Spirit sommeliers and librarians (aka "bartenders") are on hand to make recommendations, but you can learn more by taking a class at Spirit School in "Rare and Precious Bourbon" or "Scotch Whisky." Ward III also traffics in elegance and education, in the form of bespoke cocktails. To craft your perfect drink, a mixologist might ask you to select from among several flavor profiles, such as "easy" and "spirit-forward," or to describe significant tastes. If you'd rather, you can order a standard or signature cocktail, as in the Ward 3 (Maker's Mark bourbon, egg white, apple puree, Angostura bitters, lime and cinnamon). Bubble Lounge has cocktails as well, including mean martinis and old-fashioneds, but the best come with champagne, like the bubbly strawberry mojito (Starr African rum, prosecco, sugar, mint, lime juice and strawberry puree).

A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: One of the most influential filmmakers in New German Cinema and one of the most extreme personalities in film <I>per se</I>, larger-than-life Werner Herzog quickly gained recognition not only for creating some of the most fantastic narratives in film, but for pushing himself and his crew to unprecedented lengths, again and again, in order to achieve the effects he demanded. Born Werner Stipetic in Munich on September 5, 1942, Herzog tremendous intelligence from an early age, and recognized his future vocation in his early teens, when he began submitting scripts to German film producers.

Alexander: Director's Cut
2004167 minutes
Oliver Stone takes on the saga of Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell), the legendary Macedonian warrior. Although Alexander's leadership was unflinching and his politics cunning, his interior life was quite complicated, and included a strangely twisted relationship with his mother (Angelina Jolie), a complex marriage to Roxanne (Rosario Dawson) and a male lover (Jared Leto). This cut is shorter than the theatrical version.

|Route-specific daily uptake of organochlorine pesticides in food, dust, and air by Shanghai residents, China.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23063733 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) are widely detected in the environment, although they have been banned in China since 1980s. To better understand the route-specific daily uptake of the pesticides by humans, a total of 322 food, dust, and air samples were collected in Shanghai, China, during 2008-2011. The median concentrations were 0.2-126.6 and 0.03-1.6ng/g wet weight for DDTs (DDT and its metabolites) and HCHs, respectively, in different types of foods. The values in dust (indoors and outdoors) were 5.7-29.8 and 1.3-5.4ng/g, and 13.9×10(-3) and 2.6×10(-3)ng/m(3) in air (gas+particle) for DDTs and HCHs, respectively. The daily uptake of a pesticide by humans was calculated via the pesticide intake multiplied by its uptake efficiency. The uptake efficiencies of DDTs and HCHs in food through human intestines were estimated using bioaccessibility measured via an in vitro method simulating the human gastrointestinal digestion process. The total daily uptakes of DDTs and HCHs through three routes (i.e., ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact) were 79.4 and 4.9ng/day, respectively, for children, and 131.1 and 8.0ng/day, respectively, for adults. Ingestion via food and dust was the main route of human exposure to the pesticides, and the daily uptake of the pesticides via food consumption accounted for 95.0-99.2% of the total.

This movie provides a comparison of sky availability, over the course of one year, between 3-gyro and 2-gyro operations of the Hubble Space Telescope. The 2-gyro portion is based on current, preliminary knowledge and is meant to provide a general overview of the scheduling impacts and limitations of the mode.
BLUE indicates the portion of sky that is available for observing by Hubble, while GREY indicates the area that is NOT available.
The upper panel shows availability under normal 3-gyroscope operations. Here, the 50 degree solar avoidance zone is easily recognizable as it traverses the ecliptic. Note that with the exception of the avoidance zone, Hubble is capable of observing throughout the entire sky during any given week.
The lower panel shows availability when observing under the constraints imposed by 2-gyro operations. The drastic change in availability is due to the way various elements of the spacecraft must be used in order to achieve guided science in this mode. For more details, see the How does 2-gyro science mode work on this site. These requirements result in several easily seen effects.
First, note the large portion of sky, ahead of the solar avoidance zone, that is now unavailable.
Second, note the area of availability that tracks the trailing edge of the solar avoidance zone. You can see that HST becomes limited to observing targets only when they are on one particular side of the sun.
Third, is the periodic and alternating availability near the equatorial poles. At these high declinations, availability is tied to the precession of the HST's orbit.
Note also, the increased size of the solar avoidance zone, which is due to an anticipated increase in the pointing uncertainty following a slew to a target. Having a large solar avoidance zone is therefore necessary to insure the safety of the HST.
Over the course of a year all areas of the sky can eventually be reached in 2-gyro mode. However, the total available time for a given target is much less than when operating with 3 gyroscopes.
This concludes the movie.

Last week we looked behind the recent headlines about "Elvis Priestly," a Canadian Anglican minister who has integrated a jump-suited impersonation routine into his sacred services. We surveyed a few of the many points at which Christians have co-opted popular artistic forms in order to get their evangelistic message across.
Part I: From Oratorios to Elvis
This week, we ask the questions: how have Christians historically reacted to such forays into popular forms? And how successful have the resulting products been in themselves—that is, as songs, plays, novels, and so forth, quite apart from their message? Of course, we can only touch the surface of these issues. But with Elvis now in the (church) building, this seems a worthwhile use of a few minutes.
Let's begin with Christian novels. Despite the widespread churchly acclaim for Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), America's conservative Christians have not always been pleased with the novel as a genre. For much of the twentieth century, for many of the faithful, "novel reading, like other worldly amusements such as dancing, card playing, and attending the theater, was considered suspect." (Rabey and Unger, Milestones). Surely Jesus wouldn't waste his time with such trivial entertainments.
Yet something has happened in the past two decades. In 1979 and 1985, Janette Oke and Frank Peretti brought the erstwhile "secular" genres of the romance novel and the fast-paced thriller into the Christian mainstream with their novels Love Comes Softly and This Present Darkness. And whatever objections may linger, sales in the millions testify that these and a thousand titles like them—can you say Left Behind?—fill a need. The Old Guard's suspicions notwithstanding, the Christian novel is here to stay.
Fine. But a book is a static thing, and reading a private matter. What about Elvis, gyrating at the captionar? Surely this is not just a potentially trivial or time-wasting pop culture invasion, but downright sacrilegious!
This reaction is not, of course, a new one. For example, in her 1942 radio serial, A Man Born to be King, the devout Anglican author Dorothy Sayers had an actor deliver gritty, colloquial lines as Jesus himself. For the time, this was a daring move, as it was illegal in England (and continued to be so until 1968) for a stage actor to portray any divine person. The proscription did not apply to radio, but outraged complaints poured in. As one shocked listener put it, "a sinful man" must not presume to "impersonate the Sinless One." To do so "detracts from the honour due to the Divine Majesty."
Though Elvis impersonation hardly blasphemes a sinless original, such pop-entertainment spectacles in church do raise similar questions of due honor to God. No doubt many among the twenty-first-century faithful, inured though we are to a stunning array of pop-culture evangelistic efforts, would echo the conclusion of that flustered listener to Sayers's radio play: "Could anything be more distressful to reverent-minded Christians?" One guesses such a reaction contributed to the Canadian Anglicans' decision to proscribe "Priestly's" act.
Others have argued that the problem with such Christian co-optations of popular forms may be not that they perpetrate sacrilege, but rather that they purvey saccharine. Sayers herself warned those tempted to use the play form to push for conversions, "If he writes with his eye on the spiritual box-office, he will at once cease to be a dramatist, and decline into a manufacturer of propagandist tracts. … He will lose his professional integrity, and with it all his power, including his power to preach the Gospel" (Dorothy Sayers, "Playwrights Are Not Evangelists").
Sorry, Pilgrims: Jamestown's spiritual life is suddenly much more fascinating.
Got some folks with very specific movie tastes on your list? We've got suggestions.
A swampy site that draws millions across East Africa symbolizes religious freedom. One day it may prove better than gorillas for the economy.
Why is megachurch pastor John Mark Comer ditching conventional church-growth wisdom? Two words: mission and millennials.
Is it possible to find success in ministry outside the church growth numbers? It depends who gets the credit.
Sanctification, theologically and spiritually, is a matter of life and death (not necessarily in that order).
This week's headlines that affect churches and church leaders.
The right words, said the right way at the right time, can help ease tense situations.
Trends, tips, ideas, and stats to help church leaders manage well this week.
We're often forced to choose between devotion and drive. Why?
Christian women, let's make our voice heard.

"'The Comeback Kid' and the Kids Who Won't" By Amy Goodman
President Barack Obama signed a slew of bills into law during the lame-duck session of Congress and was dubbed the "Comeback Kid" amid a flurry of fawning press reports. In the hail of this surprise bipartisanship, though, the one issue over which Democrats and Republicans always agree, war, was completely ignored. The war in Afghanistan is now the longest war in U.S. history, and 2010 has seen the highest number of U.S. and NATO soldiers killed.

On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

Participants in a past Southern Utah String Festival pose. This year's festival is set for Saturday.
- Filed Under
Artist-in-residence offers presentations
Zion National Park Artist-In-Residence Rick Braveheart will give two presentations this week.
For his first presentation, Braveheart will speak at Southern Utah University's Art Insights at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Room 229 in The Centrum on the SUU campus, 351 University Blvd. His second engagement is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at the Canyon Community Center, 126 Lion Blvd. in Springdale. Admission is free for both presentations.
Braveheart, who began his Zion residency Feb. 4 and will be there through March 3, will discuss his 25-year career as a landscape photographer. He will also share about his residency experience and how the park's landscape contributes to his objective to honor and share the beauty of the land and its creatures.
When taking photos, Braveheart said, he aims for his images to tell stories about the subjects and their relationship to the world around them. Viewed quickly, they present a snapshot of the visual beauty of a single moment, he said, but with mindful observation, the subtle details of the subject are revealed. The length of a shadow explains the time of day, a blurred leaf exposes a gentle breeze and a white frost on a leaf conveys the chill of a late autumn morning.
As a Native American, Braveheart said, he is guided by the principles of walking gently upon the Earth and honoring the land and its people and animals to maintain harmony in nature.

Cedar City hosts Music Festivals
Music students from throughout Southern Utah will converge in Cedar City for the 31st annual Music Festivals. The Southern Utah String Festival is Saturday and the Piano Festival is March 8.
"The Music Festivals provide students with a chance to perform and receive constructive criticism for improvement," Sara Penny, the festivals' founding director, said. "This helps raise musical standards and is an important part of musical training."
Marin Colby directs the String Festival. Brittnie Larson and Angie Maxwell are co-directors of the Piano Festival, which is still affiliated with the National Federation of Music Clubs. The Orchestra Festival was hosted in St. George in November under the direction Kirsten and Ed Candland.
High school seniors who have earned at least one Gold Cup trophy are encouraged to apply for a $100 scholarship to Southern Utah University. The festivals have awarded an average of $700 in scholarships annually for the past 25 years. The application is available from participating piano teachers or at www.southernutahstringfestival.org/index.html.
Graphic designer to share about craft
Southern Utah University's Art Insights Series continues this week with a presentation from graphic designer David Wolske at 7 p.m. Thursday. The presentation will be in the Gilbert Great Hall in SUU's Hunter Conference Center, 351 University Blvd. Admission is free.
Wolske is a lecturer at the University of Utah, where he teaches letterpress, typography and book design. His work reveals an affinity for handset wood and metal type and incorporates digital tools, computer software and design thinking into a manual workflow that draws heavily on the traditions of letterpress and fine art printmaking.
In conjunction with Wolske's Art Insights appearance, his work will be on exhibit in the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery through March 8. The gallery is open noon to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and admission is free.

October 10, 2013
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
In last week's Straight Talk, we acknowledged that in today's constantly changing healthcare environment, "To get better, we must constantly learn." Here is the latest example of learning best practices and bringing them home to NCH.
This week's "continuing education" comes courtesy of the recent meeting of the Southeast United States and Puerto Rico Regional Policy Board (RPB) of the American Hospital Association, one of nine such boards that meet three times per year to share best practices, benchmarks, concerns, opportunities, federal relations activities, grassroots lobbying, and next steps to improve our quality of life. Here is what we learned.
We were joined by teleconference with three other RPBs and Michael Hash, director of the Office of Health Reform at Health and Human Services, who is collaborating with the White House to implement the new law. One notable statistic he offered was that 80% of uninsured Americans reside in three states—California, Texas, and Florida. Mr. Hash pointed out that the law has already removed a dollar limit on health insurance policy payouts; removed co-pays and deductibles for preventive care; allowed young adults up to age 26 to stay on their parents insurance; and, for the more than one-third of the states willingly participating, will help 60% of previously-uninsured folks get some form of health insurance for less than $100/month. It is a fact that people with access to health insurance and healthcare live longer and better than those without. So the intent here is the right one.
At this early stage in the Affordable Care Act, there is much confusion, controversy, uncertainty, and fear of change. Most of our southern RPB region is in a watch-and-wait mode, as are we. As other states which are embracing the ACA become economically advantaged, it will be interesting to follow this evolution.
For the first time in world history, we have four generations teamed up together —Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. How can we as healthcare practitioners engage and satisfy everyone? The common answer from RPG attendees: Focus on what is most important to all, regardless of age, attitude, or background—namely, the patient. All that we do must be patient-centric.
Quality is NCH's strong suit. But we are subject to so many rating agencies with so many metrics that confusion inevitably follows among all of us—patients, families, payers, physicians, hospitals and other caregivers. The question is, Should we care how we get to a good outcome, i.e. the "process," or is the good outcome the goal? Most everyone agreed that we need simple, understandable, relevant, and trustworthy metrics.
The RPG discussed many other topics, from declining reimbursement in a globally competitive world to the need for continuing medical education. My parents used to tell my brothers and me that, "Nothing happens when you stay home." Likewise, in healthcare, we've learned that profiting from the experiences of others, both near and far away, are crucial to our own personal development and the quality of the institution we represent.

Sober Living by the Sea has grown to an entire network of facilities that treat addiction, dual diagnosis, and eating disorders. Back in 1986, the founder of Sober Living by the Sea definitely was onto something…
Sober Living by the Sea was founded in 1986. At that time, treating addiction for a period of months in a residential setting was practically unheard of. Recognizing that 30 days of addiction treatment rarely built a sufficient foundation for lasting recovery, our founders created Sober Living by the Sea's extended care program.
While holding true to our original vision and mission, Sober Living by the Sea has made a series of advancements. Sober Living by the Sea was behind a number of other "firsts" in the field of addiction treatment:
• Sober Living by the Sea was the first addiction treatment center to offer a college track, which allows patients to attend college at a university while working on recovery.
• Sober Living by the Sea was the first addiction treatment center to offer a Celebrate Recovery Christian-based drug treatment track for individuals working a recovery program.
In order to provide the full continuum of personalized care to a wide range of patients, we have diversified our services to include a number of specialty programs, including a transitional work program and family program, and four primary care programs:
• The Rose – A primary addiction treatment program for women located on the sand in Newport Beach that specializes in trauma, substance abuse and women's issues
• The Victorian – An addiction and eating disorder treatment center for women located in a charming Victorian-style home in Newport Beach, California
• The Landing – A primary alcohol and drug rehab center for men located on the sand in Newport Beach that specializes in addiction and men's issues
• Sunrise Recovery Ranch – A Southern California drug rehab center for both men and women located on a nine-acre ranch in the foothills
Because individuals who come to our network can work through every stage of recovery – including detox, primary care, extended care and outpatient treatment – in one place, they receive seamless clinical care. Our treatment teams work together to ensure a smooth transition through each level of care.
This standard of clinical excellence has earned a number of Sober Living by the Sea's programs accreditation by CARF, an independent, nonprofit organization with rigorous quality and service standards.
For more information about the history Sober Living by the Sea, call the center at 800-647-0042.

All residence halls are equipped with fire alarm boxes and fire extinguishers and emergency exits. The University has established visitation policies and procedures. All residential hall staff is trained to maintain crowd control, and emergency evacuation related to fire or chemical and hazardous materials. Please review the evacuation procedures with the residential hall staff.

If you are a victim of sexual assault off campus, contact the Rape Crisis Center, 383-7273, the Baton Rouge Police Department, or the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office.

The mayor and board of aldermen have approved the hirings of two, part-time special police officers who are not meant to be substitutes for full-time officer hirings projected by the end of this year.
Mayor James Dodd and the board Monday night passed a resolution that calls for the appointment of Christian Seugling as a Class I special police officer and William J. Fichter, who recently retired from the Morris County Park Police, as a Class II special officer.
Class I category officers cannot carry weapons, so Seugling likely will primarily be assigned to maintaining order and protecting ...

VSB is nationally recognized as a top business school and a pioneer of curricular innovation. VSB's highly integrated, rigorous curriculum, infused with team teaching, guest speakers, simulations, global perspectives, and hands-on semester-long projects, highlights the skills of effective leaders and emphasizes innovation and openness to change as fundamental business and personal skills. Students study the fundamentals of business, explore new issues in real time, and complete corporate projects. All students have access to an online subscription to the Wall Street Journal which is incorporated into their classroom experience.
The curriculum provides students with the two most distinctive components of a Villanova business education: outstanding technical business skills and an emphasis on the liberal arts in the Augustinian tradition. All business students take core liberal arts courses including English, Humanities, Philosophy, Theology, and Natural Science, along with in-depth study in their major fields of business. These further develop writing, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities. The combination of business and liberal arts courses teaches students to lead responsibly and understand the larger context of global business.
A unique aspect of the liberal arts curriculum is the ACS course. The Augustine and Culture Seminar (ACS) is a small discussion-based class. ACS focuses on the heart of human experience: Who Am I? What does it mean to be human? How should I interact with the world around me?
Through a wide range of options for major and minor courses of study, along with international study opportunities and technological resources including the internationally recognized VSB Applied Finance Lab, students are empowered to push themselves and reach their academic potential.

Model 1873 Rifle
.38-40 Caliber
Made in 1884
Winchester 1873 rifle made in 1884. The rifle features an octagon barrel with all standard features as verified by factory letter (included). Serial #186384B.
The rifle was shipped in 1885. All parts are original with the exception of a reproduction cleaning rod in butt stock. The rifle is in fine condition with about 95% original bright blue on barrel with a small amount of minor pitting (about 2" long) at right side near the rear sight. There is a small scratch (about 1" long) just under the hammer on the right side (see below photo). Barrel markings were stamped light as well as the model marking on the rear tang and are not completely legible. The "38 Cal" on the brass lifter is a much stronger stamping and is very visible. Magazine tube bluing has turned to a plum color and the frame has about 45-50% bright blue, the reminder turning to plum. Case colors are showing on hammer and turning dark on lever. Butt plate is a pleasing light plum color. The wood to metal fit is perfect and wood is in fine condition with only slight scratches and dings from usage – nothing bad. The butt stock has some figure in the wood and about 65% of original varnish. Mechanics are good and bore has strong rifling with some light pitting.
A very nice early 73' in .38-40 which was considered the "Magnum" of that era as it reached velocities in excess of 1,000 feet per second.
Price $5,500.00

At the dawn of history an entire civilization gathered to build the most magnificent monuments on earth but why and what drove them to it?
Challenging the suggestion that 'tombs are for dead pharaohs', author Robert Bauval, Alexandria engineer and renowned expert on ancient Egypt, has contested the world of Egyptology and led it in new directions. This intriguing film reveals the key to ancient Egypt's great pyramids and temples in a magical 'grand unified plan' that was written in the stars.
Bauval's investigation in the secrets of ancient kings and priests is a major breakthrough in this line of historical research and shows, using the latest astronomy computer software and the latest archaeological and Egyptological findings, that the whole landscape of ancient Egypt with all its major pyramid sites, sun-temples and religious centres was developed in accordance to an ambitious long-term plan to turn Egypt into a 'Celestial Kingdom' where time would cyclically recur and the cosmic order obeyed.
It leads him to a daring proposal about the core of ancient Egypt's being regarding the time it began in what the Egyptians called the "time of the gods". This, Bauval proposes will again draw worldwide attention and, without doubt, be hotly debated for years to come.

Andrew Bujalski, Filmmaker
Deserves props for: Funny Ha Ha, his 2002 cult hit that, more than any other film, captures the speech patterns and behavior of inarticulate, insecure twentysomethings. His second feature Mutual Appreciation delivers more of the same, only in black-and-white.
Some people see Funny Ha Ha and Mutual Appreciation as a kind of anthropology that depicts an ultraspecific subset of people in America right now.
"For me, they're not anthropological in the clinical sense. I never said, 'What are some characteristics of such-and-such a generation--how can we illustrate that?' It was always more in reference to the characters and specific scenarios. I think my approach is as a fairly conventional dramatist."
How do you get your actors to seem so unrehearsed?
"I guess you're starting from an improvisatory place, then pulling it back toward the structure that's on the page. There are certain elements of filmmaking you have a lot of control over, and one of the elements you have the least control over is performance. Unless you're working with very technically minded actors and you're a very technically minded director, it's hard to tweak these things till they're perfect. It's going to come out different every time, particularly if your actors are trying to stay open to the moment--and usually that's the most exciting stuff."
Your characters tend to come off unflattering, though far from unlikable.
"It's all in the eye of the beholder. If they're dumb in a moment or cowardly in another ... well, I've had plenty of dumb and/or cowardly moments in my life. My fondest hope for my movies is that they're solid enough constructions that they can be seen from a variety of different viewpoints."
Why shoot on film rather than video?
"Because, you know, it's better? [Laughs.] Obviously there's a lot of great work being done on DV. The worst thing is when someone goes and gets something that's clearly a 35 mm epic in their brain, and then they shoot it on DV. You can really feel the difference between concept and reality. I think we're seeing a lot less of that. I think people are figuring out what video is and how to work it."
Has all the attention from places like The New York Times and Film Comment and people like Amy Taubin helped your career?
"Certainly some level of attention can't hurt. By the same token, for all the great attention and the thrill of being able to get it out into the world, the one thing we haven't been able to figure out is how to make a profit. I can point to X number of really nice reviews, but I'm also a demonstrably money-losing filmmaker."
Should we rebuild post-Sandy? "Shored Up" poses the big question
