I have been wearing a smartwatch for over a month now. So when I finally got a chance to review the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it was only natural that I started comparing it with my Pebble. Here are the results.
WATCH: There is no doubt that the Pebble is the better watch of the two. But that is not because it is more accurate in timekeeping, but because once you wear it you dont realise it is on your wrist. But the Galaxy Gear is a bit heavier and with a clip on strap and these two factors constantly remind you that there is something there. Plus, the review unit I had was bright orange and that sure got me more attention than I am used to. Then it has the camera bump on one side and that sort of reminds you that this is no ordinary watch. The Pebble on the other hand has so many watch faces that you can get one with which on one will realise that you have smartwatch on.
SET-UP: The Gear is very easy to set up. But the problem here is that is can be used only in tandem with a few top-end Samsung Galaxy smartphones. The Pebble on the otherhand works with most iOS and Android devices. But the Gear has something that make life so easy for the user. Thanks to NFC you can just tap the watch with its Galaxy phone to get a link. Both the Gear and the Pebble need the phone to install apps.
PERFORMANCE: You can do much more with the Galaxy Gear than you would with the Pebble. For instance, the Gear has a camera and that sorts of adds so many new scenarios to what you can do with a watch. Then this has a Super AMOLED display, compared to the Pebbles e-paper display and is hence capable of doing much more. While the Pebble shows calls, notifications and alerts from your phone, the Gear actually lets you dial and even make the call using just the watch and with the help of voice. And that is a wow feature that sort of made me feel a bit like James Bond. The audio quality is not all that good though, especially if there is a lot of ambient noise around. Then you

My duel purpose service rig and hunting rig. Jk but I wish
My duel purpose service rig and hunting rig. Jk but I wish
I have a 2003 gmc crewcab shortbox duramax. But last month I bought me a 1991 toyota xtracab 4x4 that I drive mostly now. Long trips I take the duramax.
Why are you showing everybody my ranger ikic, I sent you that picture in confidence just kidding! I wish i wasn't, That one is way nicer than mine!
hvfd21walker, how do you like the 91?
I think you got everyone beat on that one AK!
Truck wise I have been a big believer in Toyotas for a long time. I drove an 2003 access cab v8 4x4 from 24k-176k miles, then had to upgrade to my current 2006 double cab to be able to put a baby seat in back. I got it in April with 96k mi and am already up to 111k mi. I do not care for the bigger newer body style on the tundras, that's why I bought the 2006, the last year before they redesigned them.
Gas is a killer, I need to have a buddy for an out of state road trip, coming from the south its about $1000 to get out there and go anywhere. Very manageable for a week if split 2-3 ways, but solo its a nut kick.
I am contemplating on my next move downsized to the newer body style Toyota Tacoma. Only a V6, but I never tow anything other than an atv on a trailer and that's plenty. The newer Toyota Tacomas are about the same body size as the old Tundras, still plenty of room in a double cab. And narrower than most big trucks, so they are more trail capable.
I should have taken a 2 bike trailer on the last trip - we had nowhere to put the elk and looked like a buncha dumb ass red necks from texas on the way back!

Jennifer - So you're about 32 weeks now. How are things going? What are your current plans?
We're still going with the home birth. I took everyone's advice on here (and my midwife's) and I only share our choice with the people who support it. I figure educating people about home birth will come later. It was too much energy to try and share my thoughts about the subject with people who were not supportive. Instead I've taken that energy and am putting it towards preparing my body for birth and practicing the hypnobirthing techniques I've learned. I'm getting really excited - we're getting so close to meeting our little guy and I'm looking forward to his birth. Thanks for checking in on me!
I have this theory..... so many people are scared of the unknown. And for many women in this country, the "unknown" is any sort of natural birth without medication.
I have friends who never explored birthing alternatives outside of the now "traditional" US hospital birth, and they are intimidated and condescending of my choice to have midwifery care. But once I realized that they feel my experience will "best" theirs and be fulfilling to me as a woman, I understand their apparent lack of support.
I avoid the topic with most of my friends as I think each birthing experience is so very personal for every woman. My intent is not to make anyone feel badly or feel as if they were robbed of any experience.... yet I fear the first two women I spoke with about my birthing plan were insulted by my choices because their own birthing experiences were not what they wanted.
I wish all of us a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth; whatever our situations.... wherever we deliver..... may we all be powerful and have amazing little ones at the end of the journey.
My MIL called me out in front of extended family at Christmas on this subject. We are having our second (my first was born very successfully at home) and yet they are still having a hard time accepting my choice of having a home birth. (What if the baby is bigger than your first, what if...you name it) I've stopped reasoning with them, they all tend to be not informed when it comes to their own bodies and want doctors to "do it for them". They will not be convinced until more women like you stick to your guns and have awesome home births. Ignore them and enjoy your home birth!
Oh, and BTW, my mom is little like me (5'2") and had a 10.5 pound boy naturally at a birthing center and got up and went home that same night. :)
I may have said the same thing to someone before researching home birth.
This might be a good opener for a discussion when you're ready to talk to those people. I just talked to one of my friends about it and at first she said "no way." But then after I gave her more and more information she is really becoming supportive. I think it's good to gently educate people instead of becoming defensive. Have a wonderful home birth!

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 20The Westbrook Family
Gene Westbrook was injured in project Iraqi Freedom and was left paralyzed. He was discharged from the army and lived a positive life speaking of his experiences and helping others who were injured from the war. A loving father of three and devoted husband, Gene was well loved and respected throughout his community.
A few years later, a tragic car accident caused spinal cord damage to Gene's only son, James, leaving him paralyzed as well. Now, father and son are both in wheelchairs and face the reality of a house that will never work for them. Not only are the Westbrook's facing this new challenge but they also have over a million dollars in medical bills that are pilling up. In this episode of Extreme Makeover, the team remodels a house for a deserving war hero and his family who have suffered more than their share.
Bistro glass inserts highlight the beautiful Cognac finish of the cherry cabinetry in the Westbrook's new kitchen. Custom KraftMaid cabinets were also installed in the laundry room for additional storage using White Thermofoil accented by Brushed Pewter door knobs. The master bathroom, as well as James' bathroom, was outfitted with the soft, warm look of KraftMaid's Cashmere Glaze on the maple cabinetry. For the girl's bathrooms, the team went in a different direction, giving them a modern look with the sleek, streamlined style of KraftMaid's Venicia line of cabinets. The high gloss sheen of this style is seen in the Ginger Maple Satin finish selected for the room and pulled all together with Aluminum Indented drawer pulls.

Goliad Sparkles provides residents free brush pickup three times a year. Goliad Public Works Director Cindy Shilinga informed council that residents need to receive more information about the program.
"Goliad Sparkles is a very successful program," Shilinga said. "It's groing and we want to make sure it grows in the right direction."
Shilinga said in July 2011, 23 residents signed up for the program. That number increased to 29 in October 2011. She said there were 27 jobs in February 2012 and 52 in July 2012.
Shilinga said there are many residents not signing up for the program who are leaving brush to be picked in the city right-of-ways. She told council that there are still brush piles from July 2012 that haven't picked up. The brush in the right-of-ways prevents the city from mowing the easements and effectively checking water meters.
"We're having problems with these piles sitting out for six months at a time and these residents not signing up," Shilinga said. "We had guys go around town and count how many piles weren't on the list and we had 31 piles. Twenty-one residents signed up, but we had 31 piles no one signed up for."
The labor cost for the July 2012 pickups has been approximately $2,700.
Harvey said city residents piling brush in city right-of-ways without signing up for the Sparkles program should face possible fines.
"They're not playing by the rules, yet they still want us to come and pick their brush up," Harvey said. "If you didn't sign up, we're not going to let the pile sit out there for two months."
The next scheduled Sparkles brush pickup is scheduled for April.

Sunshine, needed now more than ever
(Page 3 of 3)
2. End political-party bossism and partisan elections by opening up all of our elections to all New Yorkers. Implement a "top two" primary election system open to all eligible voters, regardless of party, so that every voter can participate. The top two candidates would move on to the general election.
3. Give the state attorney general the power to initiate allegations of public corruption and violations of election, campaign finance and ethics laws.
4. Fully fund the enforcement and oversight functions of state and local boards of election.
5. Demand that county district attorneys exercise their authority to pursue potential violations of election and campaign finance law.
6. Revise the laws to require that commissioners and staff of local boards of election are selected based on merit, not by party chairs and patronage.
All the good and decent public servants we have ought to be leading the charge to ferret out their corrupt colleagues. Most of our elected leaders are worthy of the trust we place in them. If the people see them working together to weed out the criminals in their midst, we can begin to gain back the faith we used to have in our democratic system.

Hahn Named an AVCA Second Team All-American
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
This marks the sixth consecutive year that Iowa State has had multiple players honored by the AVCA All-American Committee. Hahn was a second team honoree in 2012 and earned an honorable mention in 2011. She becomes the fifth player in program history to make an AVCA All-America team at least twice, joining Victoria Henson, Alison Landwehr, Kaylee Manns and Ashley Mass (who did it three times). Counting honorable mentions, Hahn joins Henson and Mass to be recognized by the AVCA three times.
Bigbee becomes the 10th player in program history to be recognized by the AVCA All-American Committee. Of those 10 student-athletes, she is the sixth to earn the recognition as a sophomore, joining Hahn, Henson, Victoria Hurtt, Mass and Jamie Straube.
Hahn's second team designation marks the sixth-consecutive season an ISU libero has earned All-American distinction. The three-time Big 12 Libero of the Year and two-time unanimous All-Big 12 and AVCA All-Region honoree, Hahn led the Big 12 for all but one week of the season in digs per set, finishing the season at 5.72 digs per set. Going into the NCAA Championship, Hahn was ranked third in the country in digs per set. Hahn was the first libero in conference history to be a unanimous All-Big 12 First Team selection twice. She holds the school record for most consecutive matches with at least 10 digs (67), most career matches with 20 digs (49) and most career matches with 30 digs (eight).
Bigbee was one of the most consistent hitters in the Big 12 this season which helped her garner the third-most votes among outside hitters/right side hitters in the region. Bigbee finished with 324 kills at 3.20 kills per set. In adjusting to her role as an all-rotations player, Bigbee finished the season with 136 digs at 1.35 digs per set.

Mother to Mother support for breastfeeding. Connect with others to celebrate the joys and overcome the challenges.
Website: http://www.llli.org
Members: 68
Latest Activity: Nov 7, 2013
Welcome to Breastfeeding Chat! Feel free to post questions of the members or group coordinator. Please share your favorite breastfeeding stories and breastfeeding news items. Please feel free to add discussions.
The mission of La Leche League International is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information and education and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important in the healthy development of the baby and mother.
La Leche League groups meet monthly in over 60 countries around the world. Leaders are mother-volunteers who have been trained and accredited by La Leche League International. Leaders are available for phone and email help, and some Leaders do home visits for moms who are having trouble in the early weeks.
find a group near you at: www.llli.org/WebUS.html
La Leche League philosophy is summarized by these 10 concepts:
-Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby.
-Mother and baby need to be together early and often to establish a satisfying relationship and an adequate milk supply.
-In the early years the baby has an intense need to be with his mother which is as basic as his need for food.
-Breast milk is the superior infant food.
-For the healthy, full-term baby, breast milk is the only food necessary until the baby shows signs of needing solids, about the middle of the first year after birth.
-Ideally the breastfeeding relationship will continue until the baby outgrows the need.
-Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.
-Breastfeeding is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support, help, and companionship of the baby's father. A father's unique relationship with his baby is an important element in the child's development from early infancy.
-Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.
-From infancy on, children need loving guidance which reflects acceptance of their capabilities and sensitivity to their feelings.
The ideals and principles of mothering which are the foundation of LLLI beliefs are further developed in THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING, the most comprehensive handbook on breastfeeding and parenting ever published. It has provided needed answers to three generations of nursing mothers on every aspect of breastfeeding. The new Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is now available!

I have every single book available on story planning, world creation, and ect. but cannot seem to use all the material to put together a physical world, only the stories, and backdrop. I really need a complete world map created for a fantasy rpg world, something grand. I really need a heightmap version of this created world, and also it would be very amazing if a political map, with names and everything created also. Each map has to be seperate, and I can go from beyond that point to bring it to life. Credit of world creation will go to the map creator. All 3D work through Minecraft my own. I really look forward to collaborating to make wonders!!!

New legal wrinkle in Port of LA's trucking program
September 17, 2010
Later this month, Port of Los Angeles staff will recommend to the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners an adjusted schedule for implementation of certain provisions of the Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program Concession Agreement that were previously enjoined by the federal court.
Port staff will recommend approval of an adjustment of the dates for Licensed Motor Carrier (LMC) compliance with the employee driver requirement, job referral services requirement and the off-street parking requirement in order to provide time to develop compliance systems and provide LMCs "ample" time to begin compliance.
According to port spokesmen, this action is necessary because the judgment entered by Judge Christina Snyder may put the majority of the port's concessionaires out of compliance with their concession agreements. These recommendations will likely be presented at the Board's next meeting at 1 p.m. on September 27, 2010, and would only take effect upon Board approval.
"Now that we have won the case, the Port would like to implement the full Concession as soon as it is reasonably practicable, but adjust the schedule to allow both our Port staff and our motor carriers to prepare for compliance with some of the remaining program elements," said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D.
But the case has not necessarily been "won," industry leaders point out:
"We would assume that the ninth circuit will have taken up the ATA appeal and issued a ruling prior to the 2011 implementation date," said John McLaurin, President, Pacific Merchant Shipping Association (PMSA) in an interview.

West Port High football coach Ryan Hearn leaving for Admiral Farragut
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 12:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 12:50 p.m.
Ryan Hearn is moving on.
The West Port High head football coach accepted a job with Admiral Farragut in St. Petersburg after three years with the Wolf Pack.
Hearn was a combined 14-17 over his three seasons. West Port didn't make the playoffs during his tenure, but the Pack did drop a postseason "bowl" game to Crystal River after Hearn's first season in 2010.
The Belleview High graduate and former USF player said the offer from the Class 3A private school — which will make him one of the highest paid prep coaches in the state — was simply too good to turn down.
"It's a tremendous opportunity for myself and my family, and I just can't pass it up," said Hearn, who received a three-year guaranteed contract. "(WPHS principal) Jayne Ellspermann was tremendous to me, the administration was tremendous, it had nothing to do with that. I'm a product of Marion County schools and I believe in Marion County schools. But this offer was just too good."
Hearn's biggest impact at West Port came on the recruiting front. The former Citadel recruiting coordinator produced the school's first-ever Division I football scholarships in February, sending three players to the D-I ranks. That hasn't slowed down this spring with four players on the current roster already holding D-I offers.
More than a dozen players transferred in to play for Hearn at West Port this fall, which made the move even tougher for the 33-year-old coach, who says he turned down at least a half-dozen other offers during his time at West Port.
"I felt like I owed West Port something," Hearn said. "This is a place I grew up and it's a very special place to me.
"But the kids were great about it. They were very supportive — they understood. I was dreading it because they were the main reason I wanted to stay. We've grown very close over our time together, but they understood I had to do what's best for my family."
West Port is now faced with finding a replacement for Hearn, who has been overseeing summer workouts at the school. Athletics director Robbie Lindeman said he was surprised by the decision and doesn't currently have a list of potential replacements together yet. But he did indicate that he'd like to fill the position as soon as possible.
The Wolf Pack are also tasked with making the difficult jump to 8A this year, facing state powerhouse Jacksonville First Coast, along with Flagler Palm Coast, Mandarin and Sandalwood in their new 8A-1 assignment.
But Hearn seems to think the Wolf Pack — who haven't made the playoffs since their lone appearance in 2002 at the 2A level — are ready to compete in the state's largest classification.
"I think the future at West Port is very promising," he said. "I think there are a lot of great players and I think we've made some great strides during my three years there. The next few years can be very successful if they keep buying in and working hard."
Hearn, meanwhile, takes over an Admiral Farragut program that went 8-2 last year, but missed the playoffs. The Bluejackets will move up from 2A to the 3A ranks this season, competing against Calvary Christian, Clearwater Central Catholic, Shorecrest Prep and St. Petersburg Catholic in District 3A-5.

Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres has rejoined the band on the road following back-to-back surgeries.
The rockers were forced to cancel South American dates last month as Torres underwent emergency gall bladder surgery followed by an appendectomy – and then had to replace him with Rich Scannella, who plays drums in frontman Jon Bon Jovi's solo band.
He returned to the drum kit in Fresno, California on Tuesday night, and is expected to complete the band's ongoing world tour, which runs until the end of the year.
Torres previously posted a note to fans online as he learned of his heath issues, writing: "There is nothing that can prepare one for a medical emergency but I have been taken especially good care of and would again like to thank all my doctors and health care professionals. I am very disappointed not to be able to perform but our friend Rich Scannella will stand in for me. You are in good hands. I will be there in spirit and back on stage soon."

I hope he will be ready for Missouri, as well as next week. It's hard to say how being out of action will affect his conditioning and aggressiveness.
Couple stupid questions, what year is fanthorpe and when will he be healthy again?

Fanthorpe is a junior. They keep reporting that he is healthy and Cael only wants to use Fanthorpe if they need him to win. Not the case for UNI last week or UTC. Maybe #5 Mizzou?
10-6 good guys

PCC in the News
News: Football Can't Prevent Ventura's Perfect Season
(VENTURA) – Pasadena City College pushed state No. 3-ranked Ventura College to the brink Saturday night, but two crushing Lancers' turnovers allowed the Pirates to complete the first perfect regular season in Ventura's 82-year football history, 27-14.
Ventura moved to 10-0 in capturing the SCFA National Northern Conference title with a 6-0 league mark. Although nearly doubling the Pirates in total offensive yards, 438-234, the Lancers fell to 1-8 and have a nine-game conference losing streak. PCC is 0-5 this year in NNC play despite reaching season highs in total yards, rushing yards (263) and first downs with 24.
After Ventura took a 20-14 lead, PCC put itself into scoring position to regain the lead with less than seven minutes remaining. A 42-yard pass from Julien to receiver Mitchell Crockom propelled the Lancers into Ventura territory. PCC then advanced to the 10 on a pass interference penalty. On third-and-goal at the 4, Julien rolled out to his right and lofted a pass that tipped off Crockom's hands and was intercepted by Ventura's Scotty Wong in the end zone with 6:04 left.
Ventura marched 11 plays and capped the victory on a 3-yard TD run by Kendall Worth with 1:14 remaining.
Pasadena closes the 2012 season next Saturday, Nov. 10 when it travels to face Bakersfield College at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is 4 p.m.

You know that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where it turns out that Tasha Yar, who died in the first season, had a half-Romulan daughter named Sela due to some fancy footwork involving time travel? You don't?? Watch it. Right now. I'll wait, it's cool.
Ok. Now: didn't Denise Crosby look amazing in that Romulan military jacket?!?! Don't you want to copy her style? The answer is yes, she did. And yes, you do. And I will help you with a few suggestions that might work here on Earth. More

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- If you are looking for a way to get your teen off the couch and learn something new for the summer, remember this for next year: The Smithsonian has a paid internship program. It's called Y.E.S. or Youth Engagement through Science. We visited the National Zoo for a closer look at one of the internships.
A giant panda, an orangutan and and 500 pound tortoise are some of the coolest teaching aids a teenager could have. Moises Umanzor and Kiah McGill are in the program and they get a behind the scenes experience at the National zoo for six weeks. They made apple popsicles for the star attractions at the zoo, and also learned a lot about red pandas.
Umanzor, who is a senior at Parkdale High School, said, "They found them first so at first they called them the pandas, and they found the Giant Panda after so they called that the Giant Panda and then they called him the Lesser Panda."
About 25 students are in the program, which is only three years old. There are four locations available.
Elio Cruz with the Y.E.S. Program said, "Throughout the Natural History Museum, they are in Paeleobiology working with fossils, they are also at the insect zoo working with the carts and animals out there and they are here at the National Zoo. They are working here at the Asia trail, working here at Reptile House."
The teens get to do almost everything the professionals do, including train Roulan the 100-year-old turtle to walk to a particular spot. It's an experience most students could only dream of having before now.
Reptile keeper Rick Quintero understands that experience --- he was an intern at the zoo years ago, and long before the Y.E.S. program.
He told us, "I hope that we influence at least one of our interns here at the zoo to go on and do something great in the field of science and bio diversity."
It seems to be working. The panda experience seems to have really had a positive impact on Kiah.
"I wasn't really interested in science before I came but now that I'm here and I see everything I kind of am now," said Kiah McGill, a sophomore at Thurgood Marshall Academy.

Matt Cronin for FOXSports.com has an fascinating interview with Carlos Rodriguez, former coach and business partner to Justine Henin, in which he discusses Justine's retirement and the state of the tour. Carlos also had some biting words for some of the up-and-coming lady ballers and their "efforts" to grab the keys to the WTA Penthouse.
On Justine:
Rodriguez says that one of the reasons that Henin is retired is that she's looking to prove to herself that she can do more than just "hitting the ball" and will only likely consider a comeback once she has taken a very necessary mental break.
On which ballers have real quality:
I have a lot of respect for the other players, but outside of the Willamses and Sharapova, the rest are still really poor.
You can't teach [how to fight.] You can learn a lot of things, but you cannot change the natural personality of a player. With Serena, Venus, Justine and Jennifer Capriati, they have the personality that even when they weren't enjoying it, they could go through. There's no question that Maria, Serena and Venus are far and away from the other players. Their quality is too good.
On Jelena Jankovic:
That's the face of tennis today, with a player who is reaching No.1 without winning a Grand Slam. It's a sign. She's a good player, but when you see Maria Sharapova and the Williams sisters, they not only win Grand Slams, but they have the charisma. They give something extra, not only hitting balls. There's more behind them.
On the recent struggles of Ana Ivanovic:
I think Ana can do big things, but she needs more maturity. It's very difficult for a player to learn what to do when she's in trouble. Ivanovic is not able to have a Plan B or C to solve the situations, and she loses complete control. The coach can help with this, but in the end, it's up to the player to find for herself what possibilities will work. The coach can only help you to a certain point.
On his short stint working with Anna Chakvetadze:
Anna seems like she wants to work, but I told her, at the end of the day, deep inside of you, you don't want to try to go further and to push yourself more to succeed. I cannot help you if you don't have the will to do something, even if I'm the best or worst coach in the world. She has the talent. But she's really confused as to what she needs to do to succeed to do to become a No. 1 or No. 2 player in the world. She's not ready to make the sacrifices it takes to go to the top, there's not question about it. A champion is one inside and outside the court, and when you take Anna outside the court, she's really a disaster.
On Nicole Vaidisova's potential:
She's amazing. It comes back to the entourage she has around her. It's so important. When you are talking mental, these girls are very strong, but when you are talking emotional, it's very hard. The emotional takes over the mental and she completely loses the way. It's a pity. I hope someone can take care of her because she's charismatic and is a really good player, but her emotional (state) and the intelligence is not that good.
On Maria Sharapova:
She showed that she's able to dominate, but it's not a question of once in a while, it's a question of regularity and the only way she can do it is to concentrate 100 percent on her tennis. If Maria doesn't do that, she's never going to find the consistency throughout the year. In tennis, to be a champion, you have to choose to do everything you have to succeed in your sport. I think today Maria is unable to do so.
She has to concentrate, practice and live for her tennis — no endorsements, publicity and wasting time outside of the court with other things that distract you from No. 1. Once and for all, in front of the mirror, she has to ask herself, 'What do I want to achieve in my career?' I have all the possibilities to be No. 1 and stay there for a long time, but this is the price I have to pay.
On Serena Williams:
Serena has the quality, and everything she needs mentally and physically to do it she has. But is she going take care of herself and prepare to go into action? If she does that, I think Serena has another two or three great years left.
Don't hold back Carlos, tell us how you really feel! Boy, he certainly laid into some of these ladies - Anna's "really a disaster" off court? Ouch.
I agree with him on most of the points especially Ana's lack of a Plan B, Chaky's lack of real desire and motivation, and which ladies are true champions on the tour.
Like Cronin, I was also surprised with his choice of Nicole as the baller with the most potential. Clearly the Czech has talent and potential and suffers from emotional breakdowns. But more talented than Ana? I find them to be quite similar actually: big serves, blowtorch forehands, stiff backhands, average footwork, mentally shaky.
And it seems the door is open for Justine to make a comeback though I don't think it'll be anytime soon if it does happen at all. Drats.

Rich, remenber a few post ago about Ivanovic and "no plan b"?? We should be coaches!! : )ReplyDelete
And funny that after read the sentence from Chakvetadze I said "ouch" too.
I like Carlos Rodriguez a lot, he is not just a Tennis Coach, he is a motivator and thats the key in tennis. Same with Williams dad, you dont need to be an expert of tennis to persive a winner when you have it in front of you, and thats what Carlos persive, a lot of talent but not into tennis like they should be.
I will put Safina in that exeption, she seems like the person to take the shoes of Henin, of course, until Justine decide to come back : )
Great post Rich.
Uvijek: Love it - yeah I think it became pretty obvious to everyone, at least people who really study the game, after her loss at the US Open to 188th ranked Coin that she lacked a real backup plan.ReplyDelete
Rodriguez was brutally honest but it's not like we weren't all thinking pretty much the same thing about these ballers. Look, the WTA Tour seems to be in disarray because Justine left, the Williames play sporadically, and Shrieka is injured. The remaining ladies just don't have the same talent as these girls and certainly aren't at the point where they're maxing out their own potential.
We're all in for a bumpy WTA ride, at least in the near future! *throws confetti*

how can I do to switch the configuration files from the standard english language to another?
Change your browser's language setting. You can test this by trying JP (Japan) and navagate to the calendar. You should see some translated strings.
This has been asked before, and I would like to drop in a 'me too'. It would me nice if one could select in Zimbra what the language preference is. I am Dutch, but I like to set my browser language to English. But that gives me all kinds of Enlish locales in Zimbra I'd rather have in Dutch (or European) settings.
The language selection based on the browser is nice as an initial language / locale, but it would really be nice if the user can change it without changing browser settings.
I was confused also at beginning and it took me a while to master it.
If you want to have dutch translation, you have to get the language files translated and to have them in the right directory. In the language files you need to have all the differencies compared to the original english files.
That means that you can have only 24h time and the date settings. The result is european time/date but english text.
Unfortunately this method in Zimbra means that everybody will get the same.
In the browser you have the language prefenrence list, which defines what language files Zimbre will send.
-- Timo
We have started to translate Zimbra in Italian. Someone has already done it?
I agree with this !Quote:

It would be very nice if Zimbra could remember a per-user language setting ! :)

According to a Sacramento police report, two men entered the store, grabbed some merchandise and attempted to walk out without paying. When a store employee confronted the men, one of them punched the employee, then the two ran out of the store and fled in a vehicle.
Later that day, officers located the vehicle by witness descriptions and made a traffic stop. Inside of the vehicle were Najiib Jones, 18, Anthony Cervantes, 29, Jose Guzman, 22, and a fourth unnamed individual.
Jones was arrested for robbery, Cervantes for an outstanding parole warrant, and Guzman for a warrant and possession of amphetamine, according to the report.
The fourth individual inside the car was released.
Sacramento Police did not provide any information on the condition of the Walgreens employee.

Today, Zappos is happy to release the latest update to its Zappos app for iOS (iPhone®, iPad® and iPod®): Version 2.9.0, which offers some exciting improvements to the Zappos shopping experience on a phone or tablet.
Customer Account Improvements
We've continued to renovate our user account information and the latest update increases a user's control of his or her account.
In addition to being able to modify saved billing information and saved shipping address information, users can also modify their account password. We've also added the ability to set a primary billing information and shipping address for faster checkout!
Once a primary billing and address are set and verified, Zappos shoppers can use "EXPRESS" checkout to skip the selection process and go directly to the "Submit My Order" screen. If the purchase is a gift, users will see another added bonus: we've added personalized gift messages as an option in the checkout process.
We've always considered the detailed order history within Zappos mobile apps a key differentiator. The "My Account" section features each shopper's entire Zappos purchase history, accurate order status information, visual live order tracking and access to our easy return process.
We put a cherry on top with 2.9.0 by adding product images to order numbers on the order history page so it's easy to tell which order is which. Tap the product image to see the other items in the order.
iPad Order Summary Screen
iPhone Order Summary Screen
We've also made the checkout experience more intuitive by detecting out-of-stock items in the shopping cart before the checkout process begins. If the item requested is out of stock, shoppers can move that item to their favorites and we'll notify them with a push notification when it's back in stock.
Browsing and Searching for Products
One of the best parts of the Zappos app is the fun and ease of finding the products you're looking for. We've already got streamlined category navigation, powerful search as well as easy access to recent and saved searches right from the search entry field.
With this update, we've taken our powerful sort and filter options a step further: users can now exclude brands, specific styles, colors (and more!) they don't want to see results for. For example, if you want to see every new blouse but hate the colors red and orange, you can just filter red and orange items out. So much easier than selecting every single color other than red or orange, right?
iPad Negative Filtering
iPhone Negative Filtering
Cats, Dogs, Robots and Zappos Flair
Zappos isn't just known for its unmatched customer service, wide catalogue selection, detailed product information and high definition images and videos. It's also the market leader in quirkiness! This undervalued metric is something Zappos prides itself on and we've taken our "quirks" a step further with the ability for the user to choose their own "flair"!
An early Zappos feature, putting an item in a cart triggered a cat animation on the screen. Now, users can choose between cats, dogs and robots or a combination of them to add their own flair! For added fun, try shaking your iPad while on the Zappos App home screen, and see what happens next!

Video: 100 vehicles involved in big pile-up in UK
London (CNN) -- At least 100 vehicles smashed into each other in a massive pile-up Thursday in England's southeastern county of Kent, police said, injuring six people seriously and leaving 200 others with minor injuries.
The huge chain-reaction crash took place on a multi-lane bridge and highway that connects the Isle of Sheppey with mainland Kent, reportedly amid thick fog.
*If you're viewing this on our iPad app, click VIDEO then click photo option.
The Sheppey Crossing, on the A249 road, has been closed to traffic in both directions, Kent Police said.
More than 30 people were taken to the hospital and large numbers were treated at the scene of the crash, the local ambulance service said via Twitter.
"It's horrific. I've never seen anything like it in my life," local newspaper Kent Online quoted witness Martin Stammers, 45.
CNN's Pierre Meilhan contributed to this report.

The Fall colors are extraordinary!
Boston is so spacious and serene.
The streets are wide.
And cars do not deliberately try to hit you as you cross the street!?
There are many well-behaved squirrels.
Back at the show, the Franck Deville macarons await the guests...
I think they lasted all of 10 minutes!
Violette, fraise, chocolat and chocolat foie gras. Toute a suite fini.
The champagne was flowing...
And guests were whooping it up!
I whooped it up too -
Did I mention that I had 3, that's right THREE cups of New England Clam Chowder!!! At lunch, dinner and for breakfast this morning.
Now I'm back in New York where again several cars tried to hit me. c'est la vie

I stumbled upon this during my daily youtube trolling and i found it...interesting? I don't really believe any of it, but it's idk..a bit of fun? everyone likes a conspiracy theory right? The two videos "explain" it all but i copied the information the up loader put about the Illuminati in case you don't know who they apparently are.
"The Illuminati are the top players on the International playground, basically belonging to the thirteen of the wealthiest families in the world, and they are the men who really rule the world from behind the scenes (yes, they are mostly men, with a few exceptions). They are the REAL Decision Makers, who make up the rules for presidents and governments to follow, and they are often held from public scrutiny, as their action can't stand being scrutinized. They are connected by bloodlines going back thousands and thousands of years in time, and they are very careful with keeping those bloodlines as pure as possible from generation to generation. The only way to do so is by interbreeding. That is why you so often see royalties marry royalties, for example. Their parents decide whom to marry. These are the same people who carry out false flag attacks such as 9/11 and 7/7 London Bombings."

Disaster Response and Recovery
Every year, disasters put millions of Americans in danger and destroy billions of dollars worth of property. But every year, all year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is on the job —as part of a team helping communities reduce their risk, helping emergency officials prepare for all hazards, and helping people get back on their feet after their lives are disrupted by a disaster.
Supporting Communities Affected by Disasters
FEMA coordinates federal operational and logistical disaster response capability needed to save and sustain lives, minimize suffering, and protect property in a timely and effective manner in communities that become overwhelmed by disasters.
Responding to Disasters and Helping to Recover
FEMA assists in community recovery through a number of channels, including obligating monetary aid for both individual assistance and public assistance.
Individual assistance may include housing, crisis counseling, legal services, disaster case management, and unemployment assistance, among other services.
Public Assistance may include reimbursement to clear debris and rebuild roads, schools, libraries, and other public facilities.
Improving Response and Recovery
In 2011 FEMA enhanced its response and recovery efforts, preparing for and responding to a record 98 major disaster declarations, 26 emergency declarations, and 112 Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) declarations. These efforts spanned an historic fire season that burned more than 7.8 million acres of wild lands; devastating severe storms that spawned tornadoes and thunderstorms from Arkansas to Illinois to New England; and the dynamic hurricane season, including Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee for which we leveraged our authorities and plans to strategically prepare and respond.
In the wake of deadly tornadoes that devastated the south and midwest in the spring of 2011, FEMA worked aggressively to support the impacted communities and the survivors in their desire to build back safer through a series of initiatives to promote safe rooms and public and private facilities throughout the impacted regions.
The team brought together building science engineers, grant, communication and environmental specialists, and emergency managers to work with partners at the state and local levels. Through their unity of effort the agency demonstrated what can be accomplished when all are dedicated to the purpose of building back strong.

SAAC to Host First Annual "CAN HUNGER" Event
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will be hosting a canned food drive before the Iowa State-Iowa men's basketball game Friday night at Hilton Coliseum. SAAC has teamed up with the Iowa Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Food Bank for the event they call "CAN HUNGER".
The idea behind the event is to raise awareness and bring in lots of food donations to help those who need it most in the state of Iowa. It is the first year of the event and SAAC is hoping for a large following and a lot of donations. SAAC Co-President Clint Martin is in charge of the event.
"It's the first year of the event so any donations will make the event a success," Martin said. "We want to reach a lot of fans and get a large group donating, whether it is students or adults."
Martin decided to take the lead on the project because of some of the great things he had heard other schools were doing at last year's annual Big 12 SAAC conference in Norman, Okla. He brought back the idea for a canned food drive to Ames.
"I thought it could be something we could have great success with, so I took the reins to get in contact with those who could make it a reality," Martin said.
Fans attending the game, as well as students, are highly encouraged to get involved with the event.
Student-athletes will be walking around the concourse collecting donations before the game. The first 500 people to donate will also receive t-shirts courtesy of the Iowa Corn Growers Association.

Just installed iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and was looking forward to the flags functionality a lot but there's an issue.
I setup my zimbra mail using exchange on my iphone and everything syncs beautifully but the flags don't work.
The flags work if I use IMAP to set up, but it doesn't push or sync my calendars/contacts. Gmail works great with push and the flags work.
So if I set up my zimbra account on both IMAP and exchange (active sync) the IMAP shows flags but exchange doesn't.
Any ideas on how to get the flags enabled in my exchange setup?

Tallahassee, FL - Some small businesses in Tallahassee are trying to send a message to President Obama, telling him some of his federal policies are putting a strain on their businesses.
The head of The National Federation of Independent Business says he wants engage in better dialogue with the President on regulations being handed down to small businesses.
The group says that many of the more than 4,000 regulations are designed to help the environment, but Executive Director Bill Hurley believes the government hasn't thoroughly examined how they affect the businesses or the consumer.
"They're environmental protections with a large price tag that end up being paid by the consumer. We can make those judgments on whether or not they should be around or not, but we're trying to shine a light on how much these regulations cost small businesses and in turn cost consumers," said Hurley.
The president of Barineau heating and air in Tallahassee says the HVAC industry will feel the squeeze. An EPA mandate reducing R-22 coolant has driven costs up, but manufacturers are still making units that use it.
Larry Barineau says companies won't be able to swallow the rising prices, and will have to pass that price increase on to the customers.

JOCKEY DEBBIE HOONAN, GOSAILGO, WINNER: "She went up to the lead really easy. I held her a little bit, but I didn't want to pull the race out of her. She was really game.

I was really surprised that (E Z Kitty and Exclusive Diva) didn't go to the lead. I though they'd be out there wingin' and dingin', but I guess they were trying to play a different game today and it worked in our favor. I could feel I had a lot of horse left, so I just waited and waited as long as I could. It's just surreal coming back to win this race after an injury. It hasn't even really hit me yet. I don't see the injury as a bad break really. It's just an opportunity to come back and show who you are."

Hello everybody,
As i got deeper into my studies on ZCS, i discovered some strange things. For example, at my 'user' table in the 'mysql' database (which controls the access rights), i have two different entries for 'root', one for host 'localhost' and the other one for host 'localhost.localdomain'. I already found in MySQL's docs that this controls different types of connection (first one for UNIX socket, and second one for TCP). But what i can't understand is why are these passwords different (at least the encrypted outputs i see when i do 'select password from user' are different). I ran this script that outputs the 'mysql_root_password' (zmsetvars) and i can obtain the password for host 'localhost'. But how do i get the password for 'localhost.localdomain'? And even more important, what is it used for?
I hope someone can explain me that...
Thanks a lot,

KIDWELL - If there are any words to describe the football situation at Tyler Consolidated heading into the 2012 campaign the biggest one might be ''interesting.''
With injuries, a schedule full of larger schools and a lot of inexperience, the past few seasons have not been kind to Coach Rob Caldwell and his Silver Knights.
However, the upcoming season is already assured of bringing change with a move from Class AA to A in West Virginia, and if Tyler Consolidated can avoid the injury bug, the good from last year's injury-filled campaign could shine brightly via plenty of experience.
''A lot of people believe that just because you move from AA to A you can control things, but that really doesn't mean that anything is going to get any easier,'' Caldwell said. ''But it is a numbers issue and we have to play the hand we are dealt.
''We have been playing for a while as one of the smallest Double-A schools, but we are trying to gradually adjust the schedule with some tough Class A schools and our main goal is to be competitive each and every time we go on the field.
''The biggest thing is still being in games in the fourth quarter and having a chance to win.''
If the offensive line can gel together quickly, the Knights have some skill position players who could put on a show in senior quarterback Hunter Lemasters (5-foot-11, 165), junior tailback Jacob Highly (5-11, 185) and senior receivers Koty Martin (6-0, 160) and Alex Doak (5-11, 170).
''Hunter is very athletic and keeping him on the field is a good place for us to start,'' Caldwell said. ''And I believe we are going to let him have the football and maybe run a little more this year.
''We have an experienced backfield and some quality receivers. Another key for us is getting the ball into Alex Doak's hands and letting him do his thing.''
Senior Levi Henderson (6-1, 180) returns at tight end and will share playing time with junior Swen Scheidemantel (5-10, 180) while senior John Kocher (5-9, 140) and junior Josh Ruble (5-9, 160) will both be used at fullback. Junior Skyler Leasure (5-8, 165) will also see his share of carries at tailback.
Senior Drew Casey (6-1, 235) returns on the offensive line, but will move from center to guard, joining junior Ryler Warner (5-10, 220) as the only two back. Sophomore Nick Anderson (6-1, 255), a transfer from Brooke, and senior Austin Dillon (5-9, 260) will be counted on heavily at the tackles. The new center will be senior Jay Earley (6-1, 195).
Lemasters' health is of the utmost importance with a pair of untried freshmen waiting in the wings at quarterback in Josh Peck (5-9, 145) and Colby Lash (5-5, 140). Freshman Hogan Wells (5-8, 160) will be groomed at fullback and classmate Jordan Baker (5-9, 150) at tailback.
Other weapons in the receiving game will be juniors Cole Kocher (5-10, 155) and Dakota Brenna man (5-9, 155), senior Christian Ice (5-9, 160) and freshmen Kyle Frum (6-1, 175), Chase Cooper (5-9, 140), Jeremy Lancaster (5-8, 160) and sophomore Andrew Kocher (5-9, 140).
Other players available on the offensive line include senior Christian Harris (6-1, 320), juniors Troy Watson (6-2, 215) and Cecil Spencer (5-8, 275), sophomore Kris Lash brook (6-1, 155) and freshmen Daron Weekley (5-11, 175), Scott Gorby (5-11, 165), Kole Starkey (5-11, 180), Devon Harris (6-0, 170), William Chapman (5-7, 145)and Austin Thompson (6-1, 180).
There is also experience on the defensive side with Martin and Scheidemantel retuning at the defensive end spots, Lemasters back at safety and Doak and Leasure still at the corners.
Linebackers Henderson, Highley and Brennaman all started last season and Ice could also be a big part of that mix while Earley is back at one of the tackle spots. The other tackle spot will be filled by either Anderson, Watson, Warner or Casey, each of which will see playing time.
Cole Kocher can play anywhere in the defensive backfield and will see plenty of time on the field while Peck, Cooper, Lash, Lancaster and Andrew Kocher are all options there also.
Frum can be used at defensive end, Wells, Baker, Ruble and Weekley are reserve linebackers and Starkey, Gorby, Harris, Spencer, Chapman, Lashbrook, Thompson, Harris and Dillon are available on the defensive line.
Gone from last year's squad are a pair of starters in Evan Cline and Slade Dillon, along with Dakota Allen.
''Other than some normal bumps and bruises, we are going into the season pretty healthy right now, which is a huge difference from last year,'' Caldwell added. ''We are still hitting every day in practice, but we are trying to keep a better eye on things also."
''But I believe we go into Class A as a more experienced team than we were in AA just because of all the kids we used last year that we didn't expect to put out there so soon. There is a lot of experience and we hope that pays off.
''We have taken our lumps, but game experience is different for us this year with all the depth.''

Marine Litter and Marine Debris
As producers of products that find their way into the marine environment, plastic makers are working with government officials, retailers, anti-litter groups and consumers to devise solutions to prevent marine debris. We support a Reduce-Reuse-Recycle philosophy to managing waste and conserving resources.
Many California cities, including Los Angeles, have implemented a curbside program for recycling clean polystyrene products, including foam cups. While polystyrene recycling remains an emerging market, we support serious efforts to integrate polystyrene recycling into recycling programs.
The plastics industry supports recycling that is sustainable, economical and environmentally responsible. Since 1990, the plastics industry, as individual companies and through organizations such as ACC's Plastics Division, has invested more $2 billion in developing technologies and the infrastructure to recycle plastics in communities across the nation. From providing greater access to away-from-home recycling opportunities to boosting consumer education, today, much of our effort focuses on increasing collection of recyclable plastics.
Energy Recovery
To advance the enhanced use of energy from waste in the United States, America's plastics makers support the use of recycling and energy recovery as acceptable waste diversion options to maximize resources, minimize waste sent to landfills, and minimize total impacts to the environment. When recycling opportunities are not available, we support the use of plastic for its captured energy and its role as part of a national energy solution. And we believe Congress should support a federal program of research, development, and demonstration for existing and emerging energy recovery technologies (e.g., gasification, pyrolysis and plasma arc) to help achieve higher levels of solid waste recovery and associated reductions in greenhouse gases.
Energy Efficiency
By allowing manufacturers and consumers to do more with less, using plastics can help reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life of a product or package.
We support and promote the business interests and general welfare of the polycarbonate and bisphenol A (BPA) industry through relevant technical, communications, and public policy activities.
Conclusions are supported by comprehensive research.

WPP- I like that, sounds awesome.
I'm trying to be more 'hippie'. Go with the flow, not stress as much and try not to be as much of a control freak. There is nothing I can do to control my situation so I just have to go with it.

I find out Saturday (actually prob Monday, since the blood test is Saturday) if our IUI procedure worked. I find myself strangely ambivalent about it, not at all like when I was waiting to find out if I was pg with DS. I was so excited, couldn't wait to take the test, etc. I wonder if I'm just trying to temper my expectations so I'm not disappointed this time around if it's negative again for the eighth month in a row.
MissWolff, I like your whole go with the flow attitude. I've been trying to work on that with my husband (he's got a concussion that isn't healing as fast as he'd like). It's taken me a long time to come to grips with that myself, but it's a good thing.

GL KMMZ. I hope you do get a BFP!
I feel a lot less obsessive at this point (we are at one year of really, really TTC but 16 months of total trying.)
Poor DH got the flu about two days before O so there wasn't a lot of ahem, efforts this month. And I don't really care. Normally I'd be kinda bummed.
Re: January 2013 TTC

Love your attitudes WPP and MissWolf! KMMZ, I hope you get a BFP!
We got the results of our testing back today. DH is fine. She said my numbers were good based on my age though my FSH was more than double what it was 2.5 years ago. With DD we conceived on second round Clomid/IUI. She suggested we skip Clomid and go right to injectibles this time due to my levels and age, will give us a better chance. Still trying to confirm my insurance, though looks like I have to do 2 IUI rounds and then will have 2 rounds of IVF covered. I think what I am most scared of at this point is not that it won't work, but that we will end up with multiples! I am not sure I could handle that. We didn't mind the risk the first time around, though since we already have one, makes it scarier. I think DH is second guessing whether he wants to continue. We have to decide before end of next week when the timing is right to start this round.
Good luck to all this month, maybe the new year will be lucky!

Hello all,
Happy New Year. WPP, good for you... great attitude. Taking charge is a great feeling. Wolff, I second your approach. Very managable I think. KMMZ... fingers crossed for you. Really hoping 8 times is a charm for you guys.
Wed - best of luck with the "figuring it all out." Sounds like you are in the same exact spot I was in recently. Can't remember your age... I'm 38 with a high FSH, so our RE suggested injectibles with 2 IUIs before IVFs. It would be our second child as well (given my numbers, its a surprise that DS was conceived after 6 mths of TTC with no intervention). And I totally understand your and DH's apprehension for multiples the second time around. My DH and I processed all the info over a few months, have had several great heart to heart discussions, and decided we are not going to pursue any treatments. If we never get PG again, that's ok. (I got PG last summer but m/c'd at 8 wks). We saw several friends and family over the holidays, some with brand new babies and to be honest, I wasn't really loving the idea of having an infant again. My DH, 26 mths, is at such an awesome age, and I am just enjoying him so much. DH and I are going on our first adults only vacation in March (since DS was born), so I'm actually going to try to not get PG before then, and then we'll just see what happens after that. I kinda feel like Wolff above... just go with the flow. See what life has in store for us. Very best of luck if you do decide to go forward - and when that time will be!

Don't even need the blood test tomorrow. Got my visitor this morning, so that's been fun. I didn't think I was going to be this upset, with the whole not getting my hopes up thing, but I just want to go home and drink a bottle of wine. Which I will probably do after my kid goes to bed tonight.
Re: January 2013 TTC

Sorry KM. I can understand how you feel. Sometimes you think you don't have your hopes up, but then realize that you secretly did, and it hurts.
I have an ultrasound in 2 weeks. That will be 6 weeks, a bit earlier than usual. Not much for me to see, but the Dr. can check if we're on track or not. I am nervous to get my hopes up, but the people at the Dr's office are being straight Debbie Downers. Can I just rant for a second? They said this u/s can help "manage my expectations" and that we can "make decisions earlier in the process" which they feel will be easier for me. So, you guys are not feeling optomistic then?
I understand it's their job to be practical, but I found that conversation really depressing. This is my 4th try at a pregnancy, I am not naive. I certainly know what could happen, I've already been there. I wanted to give it one last go. Am I concerned? Of course. But a little enthusiasm would be nice. I'm sure family and friends will be more supportive, but I'm tempted to wait until after the u/s to tell even close friends, given my track record. I would love for this time to be hopeful and exciting, but it's really stressful!

Sorry KMMZ. Bummer. Wine is my friend. May as well enjoy it when you can.
Hib- That is really annoying. I'm sorry. I wouldn't let their lack of optimism get to you too much. In fact, they probably don't *really* have an opinion either way but it's just doctor talk. I've found the 'doctor speak' during all this to be a whole new (annoying) language. I'll be doing an early u/s as well once/if I get a BFP again to check for 'viability'. *sigh*
I hope the next two weeks go by quickly for you.

I'm sorry to hear your news KMMZ. I'd drink a bottle of wine tonight if I were you too! I'd be lying if I said I didn't do exactly that when AF showed up. No shame! :-)
Hib - I know it's easier said than done, but don't let the doctor's office get you down. They're obviously taking you seriously by scheduling these earlier scans and tests. I think by "decisions," they probably mean seeing if they can help you with supplements or something to help this baby stick. I'm sure they're hoping to catch something early and manage it so you can have a healthy pregnancy. You have every right to be annoyed with them though. Hopefully you see a healthy little bean in there and you can start feeling hopeful and excited!

Sorry, KM. I think it's impossible to not get your hopes up at least a little. Take your time to wallow, cry, and drink a little too much. It's small consolation, I know.:( Ihope yourDH feels better too.
Hib, how frustrating and scary to have doctors act like that. I've found that some offices just lack the human element--they do this day after day and probably fall into a routine to make the job easier. We'll be your cheerleaders if your doctors are wrapprf up in the clinical speak.
CD10 u/s tomorrow. They'll probably tell me to go back on Tues. I need this sore throat to go away Because I have too much to do!
Re: January 2013 TTC
posted at 1/4/2013 3:21 PM EST
Hib - I'm really sorry for how your doctor's office is treating you. I actually had a very similar experience and it made me switch doctors and I couldn't be happier with my new OB. For the first 13 weeks of my pregnancy I had period-like bleeding and even after a positive ultrasound my Dr told me I was miscarrying, two weeks later, still bleeding I had another positive ultrasound and he told me the same thing. That was the final straw for me so I switched to my current OB and haven't heard a negative comment since. BTW, I now have a happy, healthy 7 month old! Shows you how much that doctor knew, jerk!
Re: January 2013 TTC
posted at 1/4/2013 3:45 PM EST
Hib - are you otherwise happy with your doctor or the practice? Maybe you could see someone else at the practice? It's hard to hear the negatives and if it's stressing you out that can totally affect everything else.
Thanks for the sympathy, ladies. I am going to go home, drink all the booze I missed out on over Christmas, and then wallow until morning, when I hope to wake up in a better mood.
Re: January 2013 TTC

I'm meeting with the RE tomorrow to discuss next steps. We're in the middle of the last clomid cycle, but my doctor called me with the results of my ultrasound yesterday and didn't seem too optimistic about this one. I still have another u/s on Tues to check follicle levels but I don't respond to clomid the way they want me to. DH wants to ask about IUI and I'm ready for some more aggressive treatment too.
My MIL made a date for my SIL's (DH's sister & only sibling) baby shower. I offered to help with everything because I do want to (and also feel a little obligated), but I didn't expect it to be this difficult. I'm really dreading the shower and feel incredibly guilty about it.
Also, and this is kind of embarrassing--here's where I really like having anonymous message boards!--I've been secretly researching information about breast implants. It's something I never thought I would do and in the past have been sanctimoniously judge-y about, but now I'm seriously thinking about it. Not soon--maybe in five years or something--but I feel crazy and slightly ashamed for considering it. In researching my PCOS, I found that it inhibits breast development, which makes sense because everything halted around age 11 for me. Bras are rather unnecessary for me and ones that fit don't exist; I usually just try to find something close and wear them because it's socially expected. I wouldn't go huge, just something to make me look more normal and make clothes fit better.
Has anyone else ever thought about this or gone through it? I don't even want to tell DH that I'm thinking about it. It would be several years, anyway, and it seems kind of expensive. Just wondering if anyone has been in the same place.
Re: January 2013 TTC
posted at 1/6/2013 9:00 PM EST
So sorry this round didn't work out KMMZ! Hib, hopefully they are just trying to be cautious, though I certainly understand how you feel, it is such and emotional time especially after what you have been through to be treated that way. WPP - I don't know first hand, though my SIL recently got implants and she said it gives her so much more confidence that she looks better.
IPW, you are right, we are in a similar spot. I am 39, 40 in a few months. My FSH level was 12.9 where it was 6.2 when we went through this before DD was born. We had unexplained infertility, and in the end they think the IUI just helped DH's swimmers have head start. We decided to go for it and see what happens. Just need to confirm the insurance, tomorrow's lunchtime project.
Have a good week everyone!
Re: January 2013 TTC
posted at 1/6/2013 9:08 PM EST
WPP, I researched it vastly and thoroughly when my SIL went through breast cancer and asked for my help with deciding what she should do for reconstruction. I was open to suggesting implants at first, but came down firmly (no pun intended) against it by the time I was done. She did her own research and arrived at the same conclusion despite having been strongly considering it before she got into the nitty gritty. Our conclusion was not due in any part to the cancer part of it. I can talk more out of bdc with you if you want.
Re: January 2013 TTC
posted at 1/7/2013 10:00 AM EST
Regarding implants: I completely understand why someone would have it done for reconstruction, deformity correction. I don't blame them.
However just for cosmetic, I would hope that someone who cared about me would talk me out of it, everyone is usually happy with them for the first 10 years or so, then some people (not everyone) have complications. But the risk is something to consider.
Just keep doing research, you'll see what I mean.
I work in healthcare.

Hey Ladies,
I've been so busy for a while so I haven't been on much, but I just found out that I likely (confirming this week, but it appears re: a CT scan) that I have an ovarian cyst. Anyone have any experience in this department? Did you have to have it surgically removed etc etc? I've done research on Dr. Google, but it's too freaky, so I was wondering if you have any personal experiences?
I went in to have myself checked out after I experienced persistent pain on my right side for about 4 weeks that's still only mild but escalating in time (when and how often I feel it) and in pain level. They didn't see it at first but then called back to say the second radiologist did, in fact, identify something which appears to be a cyst and they named the type (but it's "weirding" me out too much to say it).
Hope you all had wonderful holidays! I hope all goes well for the rest of you going through fertility treatments right now. I know a few of you are in the middle and my thoughts are with you.
WPP, I think you are a saint for doing the baby shower and I don't think what your feeling is weird, but that you are a loving SIL for helping out. As far as implants, I'm not well endowed (though I do need a bra as I'm very "noticeable" if you get my drift) but it's not something I've considered. I'm all for the belief - to each her own - , but I do agree that you should do a lot of research on them as putting something artificial into ones self and undergoing relatively serious surgery to do that is at least worrisome to me on a personal level!
Hib GOOD LUCK!
KM I'm sorry for the results.
IPW also sorry but happy you have been able to come to terms with it.
Kar - I know you are essentially at the end of your emotional rope, but you are such a valued contributor to the boards that I personally always appreciate your comments to everyone (even) if I don't always agree. You are so sweet to truly be interested in the health and well being of seemingly everyone on here, and it's nice to know people like you exist.
Re: January 2013 TTC

Wed, good luck with the IUI. If insurance clears, when would you do it?
Fakin, from what I understand about the cysts it depends on the type and how you got them. Is it a fibroid or something different? I've read that those can be common and if they don't pose a structural block/threat doctors may leave them. Otherwise they may do laproscopic surgery to remove them, although there's a chance that they could grow back. If the cyst is from fertility meds like clomid then usually doctors will have you sit out a cycle and the cyst goes away on its own. Is it painful? How large is it?
Thanks for the thoughts re: implants. It's just something I'm considering peripherally at this point. I'd have to feel this way for another five years if I were to pursue it. Kar, I may email you.
Also, Kar...happy birthday? Is that in a week or so? I know these are becoming bittersweet for you, but I second fakin's thoughts that you're an integral part of this online community and you restore faith in humanity. It's probably difficult to read posts sometimes as your TTC efforts wind down.
DH and I met with the RE this morning. She's really great, answers all of our questions, and makes sure that we know our options. If this last clomid cycle doesn't work we're trying femara (generic name letrozole) and then maybe injectables and IUI. I have to go in for an HSG (gah!) and DH is panicking about the sperm analysis that they want him to do, lol. I told him I only feel a little bad for him because the HSG is going to hurt like the dickens.
Re: January 2013 TTC
posted at 1/7/2013 3:15 PM EST
WPP- I don't know if there is a medical reason that you know your HSG will be bad, but if not, don't worry too much about it. It's certainly not a massage, but... Mostly a cramp when they insert the catheter. I totally trumped it up in my head and it was not anywhere close to as bad as I was expecting.
Oh and implants, not a lot of info here but I have a close friend with them. Keep in mind they typically have to be replaced like every 10 years or so. They aren't 'for life'. Never knew that...
Re: January 2013 TTC

I have my meeting with a geneticist on Friday and then I have to meet with an RE again. When I meet with RE again will depend on how fast the testing goes for my markers. It's been years since I met with genetics so I may already be all set there. We'll see what RE says about having to wait the year like I mentioned a couple months ago. I think I have to have an HSG as well Peas. When I met with the RE doc the first time then mentioned testing DH and testing my tubes as well to make sure everything is functioning as it should. It's just a matter of when to get it done. They also gave me the prescription I'll need to take before the test to prevent infections. I just need to make sure to take notes next time I go so I can remember everything we need to do. DH has the easy part lol!
Re: January 2013 TTC

I have fibroids and ovarian cysts. I have had cysts pop, which explains all the pain I feel every few months. Other htan being uncomfortable, no one has said boo to me about them as posing any problem w/ TTC. The only reason anyone mentioned it to me was apparently, I had free floating fluid that they discovered recently during a vag U/S and asked if I had had any really bad cramping. I was there b/c of the cramping, w/ I thought was for another reason. So apparently, really bad cramps can be really bad cramps or ovarian cysts popping. It's just unpleasant, but nothing to worry about. At least, that is what I was told.
WPP, take a few motrin before the HSG. It hurts like hell. I almost punched the dr. I will NEVER have one of those again. It felt like someone was filleting me from the inside out. I was told it would be "only a pinch". I guess I should have asked who was doing the pinching!

Although, I've been spotting mid cycle for the first time in my life this month. It started day 12, though, so I'm assuming it's random ovulation spotting - it's far too early for implantation bleeding...right?!

Definitely take pain killers beforehand. I know a couple other people who have had it done and didn't think it was bad so I guess it varies.
Good luck Northern! I know what you mean about taking notes!
