I guess I'll get this forum started.
A summary of our long journey to have a family:
I'm Candie (33) and DH is Steven (39)
Married in Sept. 2000 - off BCP June 2000
TTC 1 year with family Dr. - 3 rounds Clomid @ 50mg - no O
2001 - 2003 saw RE - b/w, u/s, S/A, normal. Clomid @ 50mg, no O, 100mg O'ed, 150mg stopped mid cycle due to illness.
Dec. 2003 hospitalized for chronic lung condition. Put on high dose Prednisone. Got AF on my own in Jan. (same day I started the Prednisone). End of Feb. 2004 found out I was pg with our "Miracle Baby". DS was born 6 weeks early on 09/18/04 due to pre-eclampsia caused by the Prednisone. After a tumultueous first year he is a thriving 4 year old now with nothing more than a speech delay and mild tick.
Apr. 2006 we got back on the TTC roller coaster to work on baby #2. Of course it wouldn't be that easy.
Apr '06 - Jul '08 - various testing (normal). 6 rounds of Clomid and Metformin, no "O". Adoption options investigated. (Other urological issues got in the way so we had to keep taking TTC breaks while I dealt with those).
This all brings us to where we are now. As you can tell, I am completely annovulatory and IR. I almost never get AF unless she is medically induced. I am also overweight by 100+ pounds and I'm sure this plays a role in our infertility journey although my Dr. has never seen it as an issue. DH's SA is normal. Age is working against us now as I'm soon to be 34 and DH will be 40 in 6 weeks. We have embarked on our first injectibles cycle with timed intercourse.
09/13 - CD3 - estrogen 240, 112.5 units Gonal-F
09/16 - CD6 - estrogen 307, continue same dosage
09/18 - CD8 - estrogen 224, up dosage to 150 units Gonal-F
09/20 - CD10 - estrogen 180, up dosage to 225 units Gonal-F
09/22 - CD12 - u/s showed 4 follies on right measuring less than 9mm and 6 follies on left measuring less than 9mm. However, estrogen 527 (tripled in last 2 days). Stay on same dosage, back for b/w and u/s on 09/24.
Grow follies grow!
That's the summary of the past 8 years. We're really hoping this cycle is the one. I'm most stressed about the time off work as I don't want anyone at work to know what we're doing. I don't like anyone to know what we're doing as I hate the questions.
I must get back to work but I'll type more later.
Lots and lots of baby dust for you this cycle!! T & P your way.
I totally understand the time issue. DH and I are both in our 30's as well. If only we were 20 again..LOL
Hopefully your no one at your work asks too many questions. You definitely do not need the extra stress.
How wonderful that you got a miracle baby! I was really hoping that would happen to us this time around but I knew in my heart it wouldn't. We just are not as lucky as those who can naturally have children. Oh well, when life throws you lemons, you have to make lemonade right? :smile:
Well today is CD14, day 12 of injections. Had my b/w and u/s this morning. The Dr. who did the u/s said not much had changed - I still have 4 small follies on the right and 12 small follies on the left (up from 6 on Tues) but no dominant ones. She said my lining also isn't as thick as it should be. She didn't see how we could keep going much longer but she wanted to speak with my Dr. and see what my estrogen was before making a decision. She didn't think my estrogen would be much higher than it was on Tues. based on the u/s. Needless to say I was really upset coming in to work. I was just starting to feel positive about all this (something I try not to do because I'm a pessimist) and now it sounds like this cycles a bust (and my clinic only does a max of 6 injectible cycles).
I just got off the phone with the nurse and my estrogen was 955 - almost double the 527 it was on Tues. I should be elated. I have to take the same dose of Gonal-F tonight and go back for b/w only tomorrow. All that being said, I'm just physically and mentally exhausted. If I closed my eyes for 2 minutes I'd be sleeping at my desk. I have a headache and just feel completely blah today. On top of that, my car is in the shop and will probably cost $900 by the end of the day (and I have no idea yet how I'm paying for that) and my healthcare plan seems to have lost the last claim form I sent in and I should have had that $1000 back this week so if I do need more injectibles I'll probably have to borrow from my inlaws.
I just feel rotten today. I'm trying to change my pessimistic attitude but I'm starting to realize that the reason I never let myself get too excited about things is because it hurts that much more when the letdown comes. I know that's no way to live life, I guess it's just the way I'm dealing with stuff now. Besides, this is my blog and I can write what I want.
Some days I feel like such a failure in life in general and I know this journey is not helping that. I can't help focusing on my age. DH will be 40 in Nov. Financially we are not where we want to be, I can't say I really like my job, my weight is a huge issue, the list goes on and on. I think I'm rambling just to vent a little now. Every day my DS wants to know if there's a baby in my tummy.
Again, I think I'm just really tired now. Oh well, that's what this blog is for, right? To vent the successes and failures of this horrifically wonderful journey that no one should have to go through.
Back to work now . . . .
I'm trying to be very excited right now. My b/w today showed my estrogen levels more than doubled over night! Yesterday they were 955, today they are 1957! That's awesome! At least my body is finally doing what it's supposed to after 12 days of injections. They lowered my dosage tonight from 225 to 150 and I have to go for an u/s and b/w tomorrow.
I want to be excited but I'm afraid to get excited because I'm a pessimist and figure "it's too good to be true" - that tomorrow when I go for my u/s I'll find out that my lining is too thin or my follies haven't grown and the disappoint of that scares me. If we don't get pg this cycle I can handle that as long as I "O" because at least I know my body (and the drugs) did what they were supposed to. I can't handle having my estrogen levels be where they should and still having my follies not develop.
I'm excited about tomorrow yet very nervous to see what they find at the same time. Being my first cycle I don't know how fast follies grow. On Wed. I had 4 less than 9mm on the right and 12 less than 9mm on the left. I'm just praying that 4 or 5 of those have started maturing.
Here's hoping! It's going to be a long night tonight - I know I'll toss and turn thinking about my appt. tomorrow. This has been the longest 2 weeks of my life!
This journey never gets easier. Yesterday I was feeling really positive. My follie # had increased the day before, my estrogen had doubled over night. I was really looking forward to going in for my u/s today and seeing a few giant follies and being told we could trigger this weekend. Yeah, it was wishful thinking but the let down is still hard. As of today I have 4 on the right - 2 are now 9mm - and I have 15 on the left, all below 9mm. My lining was 13mm. the Dr. who did the u/s just said "boy, you really are a challenge". When she says nothing is happening I can't help but wonder if my follies will ever grow. Is it possible to go through all this and not have any mature follies? That thought scares me. I really want to be done the monitoring routine soon. This driving 1.5 hours return trip every day (or every other day) before work is wearing on me - as is the energy-sapping injections. I only have 2 injections left and we're out of money. I don't know if my MIL will be really happy about lending us more - she's already lent us $2500. This whole journey is the hardest thing I've ever done and I dare to argue that absolutely NO ONE can understand the physical and emotional toll this journey takes unless they've been through. I thank God every day for JM because it's the only place I can go and feel normal.
Well my estrogen today is 2267 so I'm to stay at 150 units of Gonal-F and go back tomorrow for b/w only. I asked the nurse about my lining and she said it's good - nice and thick and ready for an embryo. I asked her about the correlation between my estrogen and the # of follies and she said every folicle releases estrogen and since I have so many folicles that's why my estrogen is high. It's just a matter now of getting those follies to grow bigger. I didn't ask if it's possible they won't grow because I didn't want to know the answer to that.
I'm so worried this cycle will be cancelled because I have too many small follies and they won't want me to keep going for fear of too many maturing in the end.
Argh. I need a vacation - somewhere hot and sunny with a tropical drink . . .
Well as thought my u/s this morning did not confirm much growth. I have one follie that is almost 10mm and 2 that are 9mm, the rest are less than that. The Dr. does not want to continue with the injections since it's been 15 days already (I'm on CD18) and there has been no significant improvement this week. My estrogen did go up a little over night but it's still fluctuating too much.
So the plan now is to take the Ovidrel shot tonight since I have it because "you never know" they said. I'll go back next Sunday for a progesterone draw to see if I did ovulate. If not, I need to see my RE to decide the next treatment course, if I do then I go back for the pregnancy b/w the following weekend. At least I don't have to go in early during the week. I'm really tired after driving in and out of town (1.5 hours round trip) every day for the last 6 days.
I was also a little shocked today when I asked about PCOS and was told I have a "textbook case". My RE had checked me for PCOS before (I think it was before my DS) and said I didn't have it. When speaking with the nurse she said I had everything - the shape of my ovaries, LOTS of tiny follies, annovulatory and 2 abnormal hormones (androgen and testosterone). I had always thought I might have it but since my RE had said no before I never pursued it. I know when I was going through fertility treatments for my DS my testosterone back then was normal. I can't help wondering if the high dose steroids I was on for 2 years affected that permanently (as they did deepen my voice).
Oh well, I guess that's something to discuss with my RE when I see him. For now I'm a little numb but I'll deal with it. To top off today it turns out my SIL is having a c-section at 3pm to deliver her twins.
I'm really tired with Dr's being intrigued because I'm a challenge (long story relating to a previous lung illness that almost killed me and complicated pregnancy). I just want something to be "normal".
I haven't updated this for awhile. Long story short:
7 days past trigger - progesterone 75 - Holy Crap I "O'ed" ! ! !
14 days past trigger - Beta - BFN.
AF showed with a vengence on Oct. 12 - worst EVER. Plan of action now - give my ovaries a 4 week break. If I don't O on my own this cycle we'll commence injections on or about Nov. 12.
Re: Candie's Family Journey
I've avoided JM for a year now, except a periodic peak here and there. I just re-read my blog from a year ago and so many emotions come flooding back. After the failed injections cycle my RE told me to lost 40lbs before proceeding with the next round. I expected it, but the cycle itself had taken it's toll on me. I never did lose that 40 lbs although I've half-heartedly attempted it many times.
I desperately want to be pregnant again, my soul aches for it. At the same time I get too wrapped up in depression to do what I need to get healthy.
Our journey has taken a new turn. DH and I have decided to adopt a child in foster care. We met with the social worker in Oct. and have since started researching and reading up on the special challenges child in foster care face. Our education classes start this week and continue through April. Although I struggled with the decision to adopt at first (because I don't want to give up on the idea of another biological child) I'm definitely excited now and looking forward to this new chapter in our journey to expand our family. I hope that by the time we have a child placed with us, my health will be where it needs to be and then maybe we can look at TTC'ing #3 biologically. I hope that by focusing on the adoption I will take the pressure off myself to "have to lose weight in order to get pregnant" and I'll be able to concentrate on creating a new healthy lifestyle. Our homestudy will be in the summer and then we'll be put in the data base to look for a child. I pray that maybe by the end of the year God will help match us up with a child who needs us. It could be a matter of weeks or years, there are never any guarantees.
It seems weird to continue this blog, but at the same time I called it "Candie's Family Journey" and not our "Trying to Conceive Journey" . . . guess somehow I left this blog open to be used for whatever method we used to expand our family.
I'm excited to start our course this week. Being on JM again is great but it does renew the twinges of desire for pregnancy. I'm sure no matter what, that's a longing that never quite goes away. I continually remind myself that I must feel blessed for the gift I have. He is my world and I cherish every day with my DS. If I never again am able to get pregnant, at least I was able to do it once and that's a precious gift I'll never take for granted.

Race 14 - Day 1
Skipper Report
29 July
It felt very different on the dock when we said goodbye to Den Helder, knowing that the next stop is the last is beginning to sink in. It was a pleasure to parade behind the Dutch navy on their sail training yacht Urania and then it was into the race start and we were away.
Very close to begin with as we all used what remains of our spinnakers to edge our way downwind but against the tide. We were doing well but messed up the change between spinnaker and Yankee sail, so went from second to somewhere near last in one poor change.
With all the fleet suffering in light winds and with currents pushing us all around it was hard to tell who was doing better until dusk when we took a wind shift and began to line up. Now, having just watched sunrise on the last day of sailing we're doing well and trading between first and second place with Derry~Londonderry~Doire. It's nice to be here, but far too early to get complacent; we have more light winds forecast and the tides and sandbanks of the Thames Estuary to get around first.

This guitar is no longer for sale (sold on 2007-10-15)
Price : US $265.00
This is a barely used Takamine EGS330SC acoustic-electric cutaway guitar. It was bought in the Summer of 2002 and played sparingly since then. I'm selling because I just don't have the time to play anymore. This is a beautiful dreadnought guitar with a solid cedar top and nato
back and sides. The fretboard is Rosewood and the machine heads are all die-cast chrome. It has a N4B
preamp with CP-100 pickup. Ive used this in the studio and on stage and it produces a wonderful, deep sound. The guitar is in perfect condition with no scratches, dents, or dings. It has always been kept in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. It comes with a matching Takamine lockable hardshell case (pictured). Email me if you have any more questions

Why I drink Gyokuro Green Tea
What makes it so special?
Gyokuro is made from the same tea plant all green teas come from: Camellia Sinensis.
The similarities seem to stop here, though. Only the youngest buds are used to make this tea and they undergo a special treatment to be selected for this purpose. They are grown in the shade for 20 days before harvesting as they are covered from sunlight using straw or reed screens.
This reduces photosynthesis changing the proportion of amino acids, caffeine, flavanols and sugars, and as a consequence the color, flavor and taste of the drink. The tea obtained by using this process is mild, sweet, has less astringency and higher quality.
The leaf buds that have grown deprived of the sun light are softer; they hold more moisture and are more flavored than many other kinds of green tea. The careful picked buds are lightly steamed to prevent oxidation, rolled and air-dried to get the perfect shape, texture and taste. They are then sorted into different leaf grades and the finest are selected to make Gyokuro. They are then let to mature for at least a week to further develop their properties.
How to brew the perfect cup?
The brewing process is a bit different than that of normal sencha green tea. If it is brewed like normal sencha it will still taste ok, but quite different than it should. What differs is the brewing temperature and water to tea proportion.
The water you use should be of good quality as the minerals in water can enhance the flavor of the tea. The optimal brewing temperature is between 122 F and 140 F degrees, lower than sencha. You should preheat the cups or the teapot because pouring the lukewarm tea into a cold cup changes the temperature. You can pour some of the boiled water into the kettle and wait for a minute or two, then add the leaves and add the remaining water.
Use 2 table spoons of tea to 4-5 ounces of water. Brewing time is two to three minutes. Don't mix, stir or shake the tea while it is brewing. Allow the tea leaves room to expand.
Main benefits of Gyokuro imperial green tea
- Take the health benefits of regular green tea and multiply them by ten. Yes, Gyokuro is so beneficial because it is especially grown, picked and processed to enhance its characteristics.
Weight loss – its amazing antioxidants, the most powerful being EGCG speed up your metabolism burning fat and calories much faster. Enhancing the fat burning process is just one of the many ways this tea will help you shed extra pounds. It will also give you lots of energy to live a more active life and be able to exercise on a daily basis. The sensation of hunger is also suppressed by Gyokuro, so you won't be craving unhealthy foods and you'll be able to stick to a healthy diet.
Reduces the risk of cancer – the antioxidants play an important role here as well. This tea is able to fight the free radicals attacking cells and responsible for the growth of tumors. It will make the cells less likely to be affected by mutations and in some cases it will help to cell recovery.
Reduces the risk of heart disease – it lowers the risk of heart disease by reducing the accumulation of fatty deposits in your arteries. It raises the level of good cholesterol and lowers that of bad cholesterol. Studies have shown that the polyphenols in this type of tea block the absorption of the cholesterols in the intestine and increase their excretion.
Supports brain function – the caffeine and theanine content of Gyokuro is high due to the shading process the buds undergo. They work as healthy stimulants and are gradually released throughout the day making you more focused, more alert, stimulating your brain and improving your concentration and reaction time.
Dental heath – the fluoride and minerals act like an antiviral agent preventing bacterial infections, tooth decay and plaque. Your breath will be fresher and your teeth healthier.
If you are looking for an exquisite tea drinking experience, or loads of health benefits in a warm cup of tea, you can purchase Gyokuro tea bags or loose leaves from the Internet or from different health stores.
The finest Japanese tea there is, "jade dew" as the name is translated into English is definitely one you should try.

Americans Lack Faith in Their Government
According to an new AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll 70 percent of Americans are "not very" or "not at all" confident that the federal government will make progress in the important issues facing our country. State governments score only slightly higher with 53 percent having little confidence in their abilities to address issues.
Just 5 percent think our system of democracy is working well and needs no changes. On the other hand a majority, 51 percent, think the basic system needs lots of changes or a complete overhaul.
With the least popular Congress ever and growing acknowledgement that the system needs big changes hopefully there will soon be a real conversation about fixing the system.

"The hallway radio is speechless," sighed a highly-placed Volkswagen manager when I asked him today what the hallway radio, a.k.a "Flurfunk," as the the scuttlebutt among Volkswagen's executives is called in Wolfsburg, thinks about a nuclear bomb dropped by VW's patriarch supreme, Ferdinand Piëch. The spokesman for majority shareholder Porsche just dragged labor unions, German politicians, and his own cousin Wolfgang Porsche into the brutal grind of the dieselgate scandal. Today, the political impact reached Israel's spy service Shi Bet. Meanwhile, Volkswagen's unions are in open revolt against Volkswagen brand chief Herbert Diess. Volkswagen is quickly spinning out of control. Gabor Steingart, publisher of Germany's #1 financial daily Handelsblatt already tweeted exasperatedly that "VW produces headlines with the same takt time as cars."

QR Codes - who's really using them?
By Chris SheehyQR codes are a great conduit for connecting a static image to digital information; but does this technology really benefit business? And who's actually using it? Quick Response (QR) Codes where created by a division of Toyota Motor Company in 1994 to track automobile parts, a component of Toyota's "lean manufacturing system". Today however, it's widely used for marketing applications that use smartphones as the vehicle to convert a visual image into online information.
It's all pretty cool actually; if only more people where using it.
A recent report by dubitresearch suggests the low consumer usability of QR Codes could be tied to the fact that people simply don't recognize it as a marketing form.
"Our research questioned 1,000 teens aged between 11-18 years of age with an equal balance between gender and age. When shown an image of a QR code only 43 per cent correctly identified that it could be read by a mobile phone while 19 per cent admitted they didn't know what it was. Eight per cent of girls suspected it might be a magic-eye picture."
While the percentage of those surveyed who correctly identified the QR code was low, some of those surveyed actually did recognize what it was and more importantly - what it did. Inspiringly; of those - 74% had a positive feedback after using the code (props to that marketer!).
So what does this mean?
Well - if you are going to start using the QR Code medium as part of your local marketing strategy; plan to invest some marketing real-estate to educate and guide the user on what the code does, and what they could expect to see. Consumers will eventually get it.

My Husband has been unable to pee for about two
Patient : My Husband has been unable to pee for about two weeks now and when he first went to the ER It was a Urinary tract infection and he was given antibiotics Cipro and he was fine for a day or so until the symptoms came back and he went to another ER and they gave him different antibiotic call sulfate trimethoprim 800/160 mg and he is still currently taking those and was given pain pills called phenazopyridine 100 mg and took for 3 days. The ER referred him to an Urologist to have his prostate checked yesterday but everything was fine. He is still having the same symptoms to where he feels he has to pee every five minutes but nothing comes out and he strains. I really need to know what to do next and where to take him?

'Big Brother' Villain Willie Hantz Arrested Days After Being Thrown Off the Show
It's been a rough week for Willie Hantz. Less than a week after being kicked off of Big Brother for trying to headbutt a fellow contestant, he was arrested in his home state of Louisiana and spent the day in jail. Well, at least he got a bit of practice staying locked away from the outside world before hitting the slammer. Lafayette City Police Department were called to a parking lot near a several bars. Looks like Willie wanted to tie one on after being booted off the show. Maybe he was depressed!
Anyway, they arrived and there was a big fight and then Willie tried to take off in his yellow Camaro (because, of course). They stopped him, he tried to bolt, and they subdued him and arrested him for OWI, which is "operating a vehicle while intoxicated" which is basically DUI but southern or something. The Lafayette police confirmed the arrest and said that Willie posted bail and is now free. Wow, this sounds like a pattern, get into a fight, get in trouble, and then get kicked out back onto the street.
Oh, Willie, I have a feeling this isn't the end of your story, but I have a feeling we're all going to stop caring very soon.

Chris & Cool
Another magical day on the Lower Sac! The weather was unbelievable, the flows were clearing and wow were the fish biting. Not many runs where we didn't tick a fish. We went through a few times on a couple runs and picked up fish on each pass. It doesn't get much better. Chris is a regular and he brought his good friend, good luck charm and coworker Cool. They are both experienced anglers but Cool handn't drifted the Lower Sac before, what an introduction. They waded the river the day before and picked up a few fish but drifting today was awesome. What a treat, when I fish with good guys like these I always hope the fishing will be great and today did not disappoint.

Three people were attacked by a mob of teenagers in Memphis, Tennessee in what looks like racially motivated violence. WREG in Memphis reports:
A 25-year-old man said he was attacked by the group as he walked to his car. Two Kroger employees, 17 and 18, ran to help the man. Both were repeatedly hit in the head and face.
The teens told police pumpkins "in excess of 20 pounds" were thrown on their heads while they were on the ground.
Police say both teens lost consciousness. Eventually, a security guard stopped the attack.
The attacks were caught on cell phone video and went viral on social media.

Original paper
Cryptobiotic cyanobacteria: an alternative in organic agriculture
López-Cortés, Alejandro; Maya-Delgado, Yolanda
Algological Studies/Archiv für Hydrobiologie, Supplement Volumes No. 109 (2003), p. 387 - 394
published: Aug 1, 2003
ArtNo. ESP142014800013, Price: 29.00 €
Heterocystous filamentous cyanobacterium Scytonema cf. ocellatum strain SCL1097-22 was produced in a large outdoor photoreactor (2001 capacity). The cyanobacterial biomass was applied to soil used in growing the "California" variety of chili pepper (Capsicum annum). Chili peppers were grown under the following four conditions: untreated natural soil, addition of 30 % organic substrate, addition of cyanobacteria, and addition of 30 % organic substrate with cyanobacteria. Treatment of soil only with Scytonema produced high a yield of chili pepper, averaging 1518 ± 96 g and lengths ranging from 12-15 cm. A microscopic study of the soil with this treatment showed living filaments of Scytonema, and the presence of a cyanobacterial community that included Leptolyngbya, Oscillatoria, and Microcoleus. The treatment of soil enriched with 30 % organic substrate and Scytonema yielded chili pepper averaging 1263 ± 46 g and lengths ranging from 12-17 cm. This soil showed only a few living filaments of Scytonema and the absence of a cyanobacterial community. Soil enriched with 30 % organic substrate without Scytonema yielded chili pepper averaging 1004 ± 41 g and lengths ranging from 12-15 cm. Production in untreated natural soil yielded chili pepper averaging 925 ± 47 g and length averaging 10 cm. Statistical analyses of the length of pepper showed significant differences, with greater length resulting from treatments with Scytonema ocellatum strain SCL1097-22 than with no treatment. This cyanobacterial strain is proposed as an alternative source of nutrients in organic faming.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by g4rvd4, Jul 20, 2010.
Mine's 532. Any idea why it's so low?
What's yours?
Mines 538
2.1 Sense Desire is around that mark so you are not low as such (there should be comparison bars in Quadrant - see the "HTC Desire" entry?)
You may see Quadrant figures around the 1250-1500 mark for Desire which is what I suspect you are comparing to (around the Nexus One 2.2 entry in the Quadrant bars). These phones have been rooted and are running off 2.2 froyo ROMs which considerably increases the effective speed of android phones. If you look at the top of the forum you'll see a sub-forum about rooted phones dealing with this aspect. Otherwise, when HTC push out the 2.2 version of Sense, then you will get the jump from 500ish up to 1300ish.
Wish they would hurry up then lol
Rooting is a real option. It can be nerve-racking but if you follow the instructions carefully it is pretty straightforward, but there is a (small) risk and so the choice is yours. Check out some of the stickies in that forum I mentioned (link). I originally rooted just to get the app2sd capability because i kept hitting the phone memory limits for example.
If you're more patient than me (which is pretty easy) then the 2.2 version of Sense is supposed to be released Q4 this year (or was it Q3?). Second half anyway.
Would simply rooting improve performance? Or does a different ROM have to be installed?
To the degree being discussed - a different ROM needs to be installed. Tbh though, the rooting bit is the more nervewracking. Installing a different ROM is even less dangerous, even 0 risk I would argue provided you do a backup while doing it (which is an option you just check if you use the ROM Manager app noted in the sticky guides in the root thread), but I'm no expert so will elave for the more teccy forum members to confirm/deny. There can be some worrying moments - for example when changing to a ROM I got kicked into the android recovery mode (indeed it was just an icon). A search on google eventually showed that I just had to press a key combo to bring up some commands that were pretty easy to use manually. Do-able but hassle - do it once though and its easy. Only had this happen a couple of times though.
So, given that, if you've rooted then you may as well install a 2.2. ROM. What you'll miss from the HTC Sense is a few widgets (Bookmarks and People notably) although there are now alternatives to those (either Dolphin widget, or FolderOrganizer widgets for the former, and the paid version of Launcher Pro now includes an equivalent of the latter).
When I changed ROM I thought I would really miss Sense, but most of the key options (multi screens etc) are available in alternative android launcher apps anyway. There are Sense versions of 2.2 out there - I haven't tried any personally though. I imagine they will be slightly less stable than the current version
Also, if you do update and decide that actually you love Sense, then I believe you can return to Sense 2.1 if you want (your phone remains rooted). I haven't done this but there are a couple of threads dealing with it.
What do you gain by going to 2.2? Well the speed increase for one of course, but also apps2SD, auto updating of apps (haven't noticed this happen yet). The app2SD is incredibly useful.
I'm happy for the time being however I will look into rooting if Virgin delay the update longer than other carriers. All I'm doing on the phone works fine atm and gaming wise I'm all over the emulators so until any hardcore 3D games come out
I was just about to edit my post to add a "but it's up to you", so I'm glad you've got a level headed attitude. I'm on Virgin too - the good news is that typically I think it is stock ROM, so you should be amongst the first updates, even if it is from the website.
I really want to move to 2.2 with Sense but I am hesitant because I haven't received any answers to some questions that I'd posted at this forum..
1314, rooted with [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team)
Going back to what nodders said about the froyo roms with sense, i notice no difference on that note. sense on this rom, is quite the same as it was on 2.1 pre root.
What questions specifically g4rvd4?
I would like to know:
1. If SMS reports actually work; I need a notification when the message is delivered, not when it is sent.
2. If contacts stored on phone can have custom labels.
3. If I can choose between different contact names that they have on their different accounts and they stay chosen.
[Let me elaborate - I have 2 contact items in google for my dad, one named 'Dad' and the other with his name. I choose the contact to be displayed as 'Dad' on my phone but it keeps reverting back to his name after a while. It becomes extremely frustrating when I search for 'Dad' and it comes up with nothing.]
4. If LED notifications stay on until the event is viewed, and not stop after a few minutes like it does currently.
These are the most harrowing issues, the rest I can live with. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I await your answers. Thanks!
1. On Handcent I get both - a little icon next to the message tells you if it was successfully sent, and also informs you when it has been received.
2. You mean in terms of setting labels for emails and numbers and thing? If so then sure, on any version of android afaik. When you edit the phone contact details then simply click on the add/+ button and "Custom" will be an option. If you mean a label in the widget sense - then dunno I'm afraid.
3. Not really sure about this one. One option is that you can join contacts. I think that first contact in the join is the one that is always displayed. So go to your "Dad" item, edit, menu>join, select his name, and that might do it. Not sure if this is what you are after though.
4. Not sure about this one. Does this thread help?
1. I'm using Handcent now, but I'd really like to use the stock app that integrates well with everything. Currently you cannot send group sms to a group from the people app, through Handcent.
2. If you go to people > add new contact > then choose a 'phone' contact (not Google) are you able to set a custom label such as 'vodafone Ph.'?
3. If you go to a contact item, you can click on the top (near the link icon) to open the links window. From there you can click on the name and choose a different name to be displayed, from one of the different accounts. It changes when I choose it, but it reverts back to the previous one soon. I hope you have understood the issue.
4. I have read that thread, but it gives no solution. For sms notifications, Handcent will do the job, but what about missed calls, emails, etc? Plus I really font want to HAVE to use Handcent.
I only got 499
I disabled all other applications and got 512
i got 554
I got 521, that's with loads of apps running.
Wow. Big difference!
Just upgraded to 2.2 and it's 1157 now.
Nodders, please tell me what ROM you're using that lets you have custom labels.
I tried 2 ROMs: DeVillain and AdamG from XDA, neither have custom label option. On 2.1 I at least had them with Google contacts, now it isn't there at all! Please reply soon. I'll flash immediately.

Create an engaging learning-centric destination for your learners
Finding ways to make your learners excited about the training process is not always an easy task. With the Absorb LMS Mercury Module we help you bring some of the best elements of the web, right into your training portal, helping make your LMS a destination and not just a necessity.
Communicate key messages to a targeted audience
In conjunction with Absorb LMS's standard Availability Rules, the Mercury Module components allow Admins to accurately target groups of Learners with the content that matters to them. This means higher rates of course completion, more voluntary learning, and better feedback for future learning objectives.
Unlock additional design options
Don't get us wrong, our standard branded learner interface is great but the addition of the Mercury Module allows you, along with our team of professional designers, to dig into every pixel and make it incredibly customized to your needs. Want to make your LMS match another one of your web properties? The Mercury Module adds the option to further customize:
- Header graphics
- Fonts
- Login screen
- and the Learner dashboard layout
Welcome your learners with an eye-catching billboard
Billboards provide Learners with a large message banner as the most prominent object they will see when they first log into the LMS. This makes it ideal for serving whatever promotional purpose the Admin has in mind. Billboards can use static images with the ability to link within the LMS or externally, or replace the static image with video.
Common uses:
- Promote enrollment in your newest course
- Entice customers to act by sharing a limited time course discount
- Alert employees of a coming company event or milestone.
Shorten feedback loops with polls
Polls give Admins the capability to sample data from a select Learner audience on any number of issues (both learning and non-learning) and obtain direct group feedback. Delivered via a simple Question and Option/Answer format, the Admin can create a basic multiple-choice research tool that they can easily administer and monitor over time.
The open-ended capabilities of Polls allow the Admin the full freedom to customize their research to serve any number of purposes, simply depending on how they design their query and responses. To foster participation and interest, all Learners are provided with Poll results immediately after they cast their 'vote'.
Common uses:
- Get feedback on the quality of a course
- Learn what training course to build next
- Auto-enroll learners based on poll answers.
Increase learner participation & engagement with contests
Contests equip Admins with a very useful tool to improve Learner participation and engagement through competition and incentives. The flexibility of the Contest tool allows Admins to set a learning goal to have their Learners obtain either a set number of Credits or complete specific Courses, within a set period of time, in order to qualify for the Contest.
Once a Learner has completed the learning goal, Admins are able to award prizes to every qualifier (reward-based competitions) or award prizes to only a select few of the qualifiers (sweepstakes-based competitions). Both Contest methods can improve the likelihood that your Learners will achieve your desired learning goal.
Common uses:
- Turn a slow month into a training blitz
- Encourage professional development through non-required training.
Enrich your learning portal with news articles
News Articles allow Admins to reach Learner audiences and provide them with information on various subjects, in a more detailed and specific way, than is possible with a Billboard. Following a very recognizable 'journal' format, News Articles can be written and published to a Learner's Dashboard where the Learner can open and read whatever 'news story' interests them.
Common uses:
- Share your company's latest press release
- Announce changes to your Learner's experience
- Repurpose company blogs and share them in the LMS.
Bring social to your LMS with Facebook & Twitter tiles
Give your Learners a window to your social media properties to encourage engagement outside the LMS. Use your corporate accounts or create a Portal specific account to feed targeted social content into your Learners. The Facebook and Twitter Tiles allow for immediate interaction, so Learners can like, comment, heart, retweet, and reply in real-time.

In Canada, the solstices and equinoxes often seem out of sync with our climatic realities. Winter tends to come sooner than Dec. 21, doesn't it? And spring always seems to arrive later than March. But there's an exception: fall. Sept. 21 is always just about right for the start of autumn. I could tell the season had changed this week because I suddenly got the urge to stop grazing on raw garden tomatoes and make stew. It was a pot of bovine glory, adapted from a recipe by Maryland chef Bryan Voltaggio of Volt restaurant in the Esquire cookbook, Eat Like a Man.
The dish and the book, from the popular men's magazine, seemed fitting. Football's on and hockey's revving up; it's time for hearty fare and throwing dietary caution to the wind by laying down an insulating layer of flab for the cold months ahead.
The recipe's full title is "beef stew with ale," but I modified it, substituting wine for beer in the braising liquid. The decision was prompted by the nagging presence of several half-finished bottles in my fridge and a desire to crack open a fresh wine with the stew. I hate to waste three-day-old bottles and love the way wine tenderizes bargain cuts of otherwise tough meat. Besides, there was no ale in the house. (Note to self: Buy more beer for football season.)
These wines below are hearty enough to harmonize with the season. All but the last two display the sort of weight and density that warms the insides while providing solid cover for hearty dishes, like a cornerback shadowing a wide receiver. But I wouldn't serve gutsy stew with the Meyney or the Ladera; they deserve a relatively neutral backdrop to frame their subtle complexity. Think steak or roast beef. Most importantly, under no circumstances should those be substituted for beer in braising liquid. That wouldn't be eating like a man; that would be eating like an idiot (and, no, the two are not always synonymous).
Château Meyney 2008 (France)
In Bordeaux, 2008 was not a very good year. Summer rains held back the ripening cycle, producing high-acid grapes, and inviting rot and mildew. But three years later, now that the wines have had a chance to mellow in barrel and bottle, the results are far better than first feared. Here's an impressive effort from the Saint-Estèphe district, concentrated and well-structured. The tannins are a tad aggressive and angular, yes, but this full-bodied red sings with fine minerality. Decant it if you can, or cellar it for five more years.
Ladera Lone Canyon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 (California)
The price is steep and so are the vineyards, high on a slope of pricey Napa Valley real estate known as Mount Veeder. But this underrated cult cab marries substantial weight with impressive elegance, doling out flavours of blackcurrant, espresso and herbs with dense but well-integrated tannins. It should age nicely for a decade. Rare beef or lamb would be perfect.
Château Fayan 2008 (France)
Another modest success from the 2008 Bordeaux vintage, this blend of merlot and cabernet franc offers up rich dark-fruit flavour, smoked herbs and moderately supple tannins. It's ready for drinking now; I wouldn't cellar it for more than three years. It would make a fine partner for lamb shanks.
Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 (Australia)
Wynns has been doing a splendid job with this cellar-worthy, yet relatively affordable, red for more than 50 years. The 2008 shows pure cassis and dark-chocolate flavours on a succulent, juicy frame with well-integrated tannins and a kick of spice.
Two Hands Yesterday's Hero Grenache 2009 (Australia)
Full-bodied and subtly sweet, with a hint of rubber on the nose and candied-berry flavour, this is a big, friendly red that's both juicy and smooth. It would work especially well with gamier meats, such as lamb, duck or venison.
Thelema Mountain Red 2007 (South Africa)
Here's a terrific buy from a respected Cape producer. A blend of shiraz and merlot, it's full-bodied, juicy and brimming with berries, coffee, smoke and light spice. It's a ringer for braised red meats such as beef stew.
Terra Noble Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 (Chile)
Rich and juicy, Terra Noble's full-bodied red admirably toes the line between vaguely sweet dark fruit and lively, peppery spice.
STLTO Red 2010 (Italy)
It's pronounced "stiletto" – if the bright-red, high-heeled shoe on the label weren't enough of a clue. Pitched at the fashion-forward crowd, it's more serious than the packaging might convey. A blend of malbec and merlot from Italy's central Abruzzo region, it's layered with flavours of plum, cherry, dark chocolate and coffee, with a tug of gently astringent tannins. It would even pair well with a manly beef stew.
Peller Estates Private Reserve Chardonnay 2009 (Ontario)
Aged for a year in oak barrels, this well-crafted, medium-bodied white wears its wood well, which is to say subtly, serving up crisp flavours of citrus and apple, with just a whisper of toasted nuts and vanilla. Roast chicken, grilled salmon or butternut-squash soup could play ball with this chardonnay.
Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling 2010 (New York)
A quirky white from the cool-climate Finger Lakes region, with herbal-floral high notes, it won't appeal to the vast majority of tastes, I fear, but I like it. And while it's light and crisp, it gets my nod for autumnal sipping because of the apple-like flavour and hint of honey. Available only in Quebec.

We were approached to create the brand identity for Student Cloud, a freshly-developed software application aimed at student/academic management. Thanks to the fact that the industry of such management software is, and always has been focused predominantly on function and seldom on form, we had a great amount of creative freedom on the project. We focused on creating an identity that appeals to both students and the older administrative audience that will be using it. The result was a clean, yet bold and positively energetic feel. The signature tangerine color carries this through, accompanied by modern icons and graphics, lending a more structured, possibly "academic" finish.

George Ayittey takes up the plight of Africa at the end of the twentieth century.
Ayittey (Economics, American University), a Ghanaian by birth, provides a harsh critique of Africa's development. Describing the undermining of basic political and economic institutions, primarily since independence, he places much of the blame for the outcomes on African leaders themselves and what he calls their "vampire states." He asserts that African leaders have ignored the strengths of indigenous systems while spouting meaningless rhetoric and resisting meaningful change. These arguments have been raised in numerous other studies by African and Western authors, but Ayittey's focus on the failure and corruption of political, business, bureaucratic, and police leadership is persuasive, if incomplete. One wishes for more viable examples of internal alternatives to the "chaos" he describes to gain a sense of optimism. -- Bill Rau, Talkoma, Maryland

Karen Greaves / Growing Agile
I have spent my entire career in software development in various roles, but only truly felt comfortable when I discovered eXtreme Programming in 2002. In 2008 I rolled out Scrum to a team of over 80 people and became a Scrum evangelist. Over the last few years I have had hands on experience in various agile roles including, scrum master, product owner, scrum coach and manager. This experience has grown me as a coach and as a trainer.
My passion lies in helping people realize their full potential. As an active member of the South African Scrum User Group I have helped bring many international agile experts to South Africa. I have also presented at several agile conferences around the world. I believe in living life to the fullest, a hedonist in my free time, enjoying good food and fine wine with my husband and indulging in my guilty pleasure of xbox gaming.
Sam Laing / Growing Agile
I started my career as a developer. Attention to detail, finding and fixing bugs, and also communicating well to managers and customers quickly saw me promoted to Team Lead and then to Development manager. It was in this position, on a death march project, that I realized there had to be another way and recalled a pleasant project I worked on as a developer – a scrum project. After much reading, and applying some changes, I realized that I wanted to be a scrum master and started my new agile career.
Now, a few years later I find myself guiding and mentoring others with a passion for agile. My goal remains to make the entire process from business vision to development less frustrating and more rewarding for everyone involved. I have spoken at some large Agile conferences and met some amazing people worldwide. My personal motto is 'be brave', and I embody this by taking on challenges one small step at a time. On weekends you can find me trail running on a mountain or being lazy on the couch with my family.
Simon Bennett / LASTing Benefits
Simon is a popular speaker and has featured at many Agile (and other) conferences. His subjects tend towards the wider organisational issues and blend in other disciplines (such as Game Theory) into the areas of Agile Contracting, Employee Motivation and Systemic Resistance to Agile & Scrum Adoption.

Well, Latitude was a lot of fun, wasn't it boys and girls? I was out in Suffolk for the entire thing (not camping, I hasten to add!) and it was as wonderful as it was muddy. I played Gabriel Prokofiev's Cello Suite again, followed by the delicious Richter/Johannsson combo. Oh, and it was using my new spiffy cello mic - and spiffy it was, indeed. A few things of in the IP17 environ: The Pump Street Bakery in Orford (everything was so good, I ended up being "that tourist" who took photos of their food), Butcher's Clothing Store in Aldeburgh (who supplied me with a very fetching and necessary Barbour jacket) and, of course, The Little Chef on the A12 between Southwold and Iken. At the festival itself, in between eating/drinking escapades, I was playing on the BAFTA stage on Sunday afternoon, and was grateful for the marquee-esque structure in which I was situated: not only was I kept dry, but was able to provide shelter for the hundreds of people who were in need of temporary drying, too. It has led to my latest theory about audiences: add water, and they grow. Good music is a nice touch, too.
Anyway - next up is this sound installation in a shed for the Stratford Rising Festival. Basically, I'm asking people to come along and record their Stratford and bring their sounds to my pop-up shed (complete with quad speaker surround, oh yes), where we'll create a day long soundtrack. I'll be mixing these and Soundclouding them on Monday. Also this week, finishing up mixing Gabriel's Cello Suite (release in late November) and spend some more time enthusing about how terrific contemporary Australian music is right now. Seriously, are we all aware of this? Peter Sculthorpe, Carl Vine and Mathew Hindson are all legitimately from Oz and are writing, for my money, some of the best music around. It doesn't sound like John Adams ft. Steve Reich (remixed by Philip Glass), nor does it have that Vaughan-Williams vs Britten sound. It has its own identity, and clearly, that's what Australian music sounds like! It's all terribly exciting, and I'd encourage you to all get in on it before it makes it to the compilation CD Market, where your "lemme tell y'all about..." style is old news.

On February 3, 2015, the OSC released OSC Staff Consultation Paper 15-401, which proposes a framework for a new whistleblower program (the "Whistleblower Program") for reporting serious misconduct of Ontario securities law to the OSC. The Whistleblower Program is the first of its kind for securities regulators in Canada and is intended to identify possible breaches of securities law that may not otherwise come to the attention of the OSC. It is one of a number of OSC initiatives designed at resolving enforcement matters more quickly and effectively and is also aimed at motivating issuers and registrants to self-report any instances of misconduct.
Pursuant to the Whistleblower Program, an employee or individual with credible concerns would be eligible to receive a financial award of up to 15% of the total monetary sanctions (up to a total of $1.5 million), provided the information was provided voluntarily, was of high quality and was original in nature (i.e. that the OSC is not already aware of). The payment would be awarded upon the final resolution of certain significant administrative enforcement matters and only in instances where monetary sanctions or settlement payments exceed $1 million.
To ensure the success of the Whistleblower Program, the OSC intends to use all reasonable efforts to keep a whistleblower's identity confidential, subject to the following exceptions: (i) when disclosure is required to be made to a respondent in connection with certain administrative proceedings to permit such respondent to make a full answer and defence; (ii) when the relevant information is necessary to make the OSC's case against a respondent; and (iii) when the OSC provides such information to another regulatory authority or agency pursuant to the Securities Act (Ontario) (the "Act").
The OSC intends to request the addition of three provisions to the Act to protect whistleblowers from retaliation by employers. These provisions would (i) make it a violation of securities laws to retaliate against a whistleblower; (ii) provide whistleblowers with a civil right of action against an employer who violates the anti-retaliation provision; and (iii) render contractual provisions designed to silence a whistleblower unenforceable.
The OSC is seeking public comment from investors, market participants and the securities litigation bar until May 4, 2015 and intends to host a roundtable during the comment period in order to encourage further discussion. Details on the roundtable are expected to be announced by the OSC shortly.

Cuff Bracelet Life Is Short, Travel Hand Stamped Aluminum Made To Order Personalized Inspirational Custom Quote Metal Jewelry Lightweight
$ 18.00
All of my items are made to order. Production time before shipping can vary depending on how many orders I have in line but it's usually 7 to 14 days. If you need a rush order please contact me before ordering.
This bracelet is only available as seen in the photos. Cannot be customized. See my other listings for a custom option.
Adjustable for you:
Gently pull apart to put on and gently squeeze to close - simple! Regular adult size should easily fit most wrist sizes 6 to 7 inches. Wrists smaller than 6 inches should choose the 5.5 inch long option. Please choose your size during the check out process.
Aluminum is comparable to the look of sterling silver but without the high price. The bracelet is sturdy and lightweight. I hand form these cuffs to a natural oval shape that hugs your wrist.
All cuff bracelets are 12g thick, 3/8" wide and vary in length according to your wrist size. These are now made with 12 gauge aluminum, much stronger and more durable than the 14g most shops are using! Each piece is hand made especially for you.
The imperfections inherent in hand stamping contribute to the charm and character of each piece.
These cuffs are 1100 Pure Aluminum which is food safe and safe on your skin. There is a much lower rate of skin reaction with PURE ALUMINUM than with sterling silver.
BRACELET SiZES:
REGULAR ADULT Cuff: Will fit 6 to 7 inches
SMALL ADULT: Wrist less than 6 inches? Choose the Small Adult size from the drop down menu during check out.
CHILD SIZE Cuff: (For 6-12 years approx.)
TODDLER Cuff:(For 2-5 years approx.)
I have a CPSIA Safety Certificate for childrens jewelry that states this metal is lead free. The darkening agent is also non-toxic and approved for use with children.
Every piece in my shop is made to order. My current production time is listed in the shipping and policies tab under the photos. I also update my production time every day so you can check my shop announcement as well. This is the amount of time it will take me to make your order BEFORE shipping due to my current amount of orders in process.
US ORDERS: Approximate shipping for USPS. First Class Mail is approximately 2 to 5 days to arrive after my production time. Shipping arrival times are never guaranteed since that is out of my control. Choosing the Priority Mail shipping option during check out does not speed up the production time, only the shipping itself.

5 months pregnant & taking pain pills ,will she be able to stop in time to be out of babys system?
- Asked

- Topics
- pain, pregnancy, baby, pain pill, pill, system
Responses (1)
If you can have her speak to her OB/GYN about this. She wont get in trouble. There are laws that protect her & her Dr will be able to help her stop taking them safely. If she is dependent its important she does this with a Drs help if possible for not only her well being but the babys as well. If she isnt dependent & only taking them when necessary under a Drs a care then she will be fine. If theres an addiction concern if she asks for help now she can be free of them by babies birth & baby wont be born dependent. Plz tell her that by asking for help she is not risking losing her baby. The law protects her so do Dr/patient confidentiality laws
I want to thank you so much for the feedback , I didn't think any one was going to respond so thank you . I will certainly have her talk to her Dr although she says he don't ever act like he is interested in what she complains about and I don't know but I would think she is to far along to switch Drs. But hopefully she will get the help she needs , I sure do hope so.

Lindsay Lohan's ex-con father has come forward with some revealing information about his daughter and her very public incidents this past week. Michael Lohan has claimed Lindsay is hooked on alcohol and a prescription painkiller.
Lindsay Lohan's estranged father says she suffers from multiple addictions, including alcohol and the painkiller OxyContin, the Web site E! Online reported Wednesday.
This is just a sad story that keeps getting worse. Young Hollywood is treated with such reverence from club owners that are just looking to get press and make more money that no one looks at the consequences. How do so many clubs allow underage celebs to party, drink, and drug it up at their locations in full view of the world and suffer no punishment? Where has her parents been during this time? Lindsay is a 20 year old kid – a rich kid, but still a kid. She obviously lacks the ability to tell a good decision from a bad one and no one will ever tell hr she is wrong because you don't upset the talent. I think it is time LA looked at some of their policies toward celebs and make some people accountable for these actions.
Look at the glamorous life of young Hollywood!
