When I go on his insurance in August, I will finally have unlimited access to the better healthcare system in our area, and I will have access to infertility screening, but there is a lifetime maximum payout of only $2,400 per member for infertility-related tests and treatments. I don't think that would even cover the cost of an HSG test, but it would at least put a huge dent in it. If I were to pursue an HSG test on that plan, I wouldn't have anything left over for subsequent infertility tests. I tried to pursue other types of infertility screening beyond the HSG test on my current insurance, but nothing billed under the infertility diagnostic codes will be covered, and no local clinics will bill such tests in any other way. (This led to a lively conversation between me and an insurance representative. I absolutely made her day.)
I'm not sure what to expect regarding my husband's hormone levels at this point. He is living an entirely different lifestyle than he was last year. He has lost over 50 lbs, has quit drinking soda completely (we have never been alcohol or even coffee drinkers, but soda was a huge weakness for him), has become much more physically active, and is eating, sleeping, feeling, and looking significantly better than he was when he had those blood tests done last. I don't know which, if any, of those things would affect testosterone. Also, we were dealing with vaginismus at the time, which took a toll on him psychologically, and that may have affected his hormone levels. It may still be having a residual effect. He still does not have a normal sex drive for a male his age. He loathes the male sex drive because it has torn his family apart for the past several generations on both sides, so he has deliberately suppressed his for years, and our bout with vaginismus didn't make that easy to undo. So a lot of psychological factors could be playing into this, right? Is testosterone affected by things like that? Honestly I'm hoping his testosterone is our problem, because it's so much easier to deal with than blocked Fallopian tubes. It would mean a wait of several months for supplements to take effect, and I am so impatient, but at least I would have hope in the foreseeable future. I think he's going to do the blood tests on Monday, and his GP wants to see him whenever he gets a chance so I'll try to schedule that for next Friday.
My husband is reluctant to take testosterone supplements because of his family history of disgusting men who couldn't control their sex drives. He views women with extreme respect and has gone to great lengths to suppress that natural male instinct to think about women in sexual terms (though he is unquestionably heterosexual). He doesn't want to subject himself to testosterone supplements that will make him like his dad or grandfathers. I think he will be willing to take a low dose of the supplements for me, though.Last edited by alzora; May 17th, 2013 at 01:16 AM.

alzora, I hope you are able to get some answers from your husband's blood work. While I don't hope he has a problem, if low testosterone is the only issue, it's much easier to fix than blocked tubes. I really respect your husband's restraint and concern for your marriage and women in general. It's a rare quality, and one that is sadly undervalued by most people. I just want to share that my husband has a normal testosterone level and sex drive, and he would never cheat on me. I know that with complete conviction. He has to work hard to keep his mind pure, but it is possible. Your husband won't suddenly become like the men in his family because of a testosterone supplement. (it will probably be a pretty low dose anyway) If his heart and mind are in the right place, he can, and will, control the rest of his body. I don't know if this is coming across like I want it to. I just want to encourage you and him. "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Besides, this may all be a moot point. It sounds like his health is vastly different, and that can definitely have an impact on hormones.
Yay for better insurance in August! I have also had some lively conversations with insurance reps. Ahh the joys of billing. Does the $2400 cap restart in August every year or in January? Most insurance things like that restart January 1, so if you need more testing after the HSG, you could wait till January for the rest of them. Honestly though, I can't think of any other expensive tests besides the HSG that you might need. I'm sure there are others, but none I've ever encountered.
I hope you get some answers soon. And if nothing else, you'll be able to move forward in August. Waiting is awful, but it'll be worth it! You and your hubby will be in my prayers!Wife to Jordan.

@alzora I totally agree with whit. Your husband is a rare kind, but he also needs confidence in himself that he is not like the other men in his family. Perversion is a heart issue, and it sounds like to me his heart is in the right place. God gave us "sex drives" so we can thoroughly enjoy our spouses. There is no need to be afraid of it. I understand him having a family history of it and why it would make him nervous, but he is not one of those nasty men. He sounds like an extraordinary man and that will not change with a testosterone boost if he even needs it. =)
I hope things get figured out soon with your other testing. I absolutely hate testing, esp how expensive they all are...grrrrrMarried to my dream guy: TTC #1 since March 2012. Nothing yet, but praying.

Well, I'm late. It's Day 29, and i have never been more than 28 days since June 22, 1991. In fact, after I went off birth control, I was back down to regular 26 day cycles.
But I'm too afraid to take a test. Since this is the 2nd cycle after the miscarriage, I wonder if I'm just late, if things are still regulating themselves out. I'm so afraid to hope this soon. Not to mention, deathly afraid of a positive test and all that could mean.
So, I am analyzing every twinge and potential cramp heralding AF's arrival. My husband is on top of things too... he knows that I'm late. And I can see the hope and excitement in his eyes. I'm going to give it a few days.

Thomson is known for their impeccable quality, attention to detail, and strength. Therefore, it was only logical that they would branch into the dropper seatpost market. The one piece forged inner post is strong and reliable. There aren't any joints to loosen or fail. The Thomson Elite dropper post features a side mount actuation mechanism, which helped Thomson to maintain the critical dimensions of the Thomson Elite cradle, bolt, and geometry. The actuation is by cam so the rider gets smooth and reliable height adjustment. The best part is while your buddies are bleeding their posts, you'll be on the trails. There is no bleeding required for the Elite dropper seatpost.

When it came to pensions, state officials looked out for No. 1
By Jason Grotto and Ray Long, Chicago Tribune reporters
May 25, 2012
A year after Emil Jones Jr. retired from the Illinois Senate in 2008, his annual pension jumped by more than 50 percent to $122,334 - far more than he ever earned as Senate president. Jones' good fortune comes courtesy of legislation he sponsored in 1989. Under that law, members of the General Assembly who worked long enough to hit their limit on pension benefits - a generous 85 percent of their final salary after just 20 years - would get an extra reward. For every additional year they stayed on, 3 percent of their initial pension would be added to their retirement checks.
Woodstock cop's punishment angers parents
By Dan Hinkel, Chicago Tribune reporter
November 27, 2013
A 12-year-old girl got a series of text messages this summer from her mother's boyfriend, Woodstock police Sgt. Charles "Chip" Amati, according to copies of the messages obtained by the Tribune. One message, punctuated with a text emoticon shaped like a heart, read, "Send me some sexy pictures!" The girl's mother said she alerted authorities, and Illinois State Police investigators discovered something else - that Amati had used a taxpayer-funded law enforcement database to research his girlfriend's criminal record, a police report shows.
Ex-official: Cia Helped Jail Mandela
By Joseph Albright and Marcia Kunstel, Cox News Service
June 10, 1990
For nearly 28 years the U.S. government has harbored an increasingly embarrassing secret: A CIA tip to South African intelligence agents led to the arrest that put black nationalist leader Nelson Mandela in prison for most of his adult life. But now, with Mandela en route to the U.S. to a hero's welcome, a former U.S. official has revealed that he has known of the CIA role since Mandela was seized by agents of the South African police special branch on Aug. 5, 1962. The former official, now retired, said that within hours after Mandela's arrest Paul Eckel, then a senior CIA operative, walked into his office and said approximately these words: "We have turned Mandela over to the South African security branch.
141 counts in girl's slaying
By Jason Meisner, Bridget Doyle, and Steve Mills, Chicago Tribune reporters
March 29, 2013
When the suspects in the high-profile slaying of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton stepped up to the bench Thursday for what was supposed to be a routine arraignment, the judge announced an eye-popping figure that seemed anything but typical. Michael Ward, who is accused of being the gunman, faced 141 counts of first-degree murder - in a case with one fatality. The number raised eyebrows in the courtroom and prompted Ward's attorney to blast Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez for what he said was grandstanding in a case that has brought international attention - and the focus of the White House - to Chicago's scourge of gun violence.
Nelson Mandela Gets His Divorce
By From Tribune News Services
March 20, 1996
Nelson and Winnie Mandela had no ordinary marriage, and no ordinary breakup. By the time the 38-year marriage formally ended in a messy divorce Tuesday, the public had witnessed the spectacle of the esteemed president of South Africa being forced to say he had been cuckolded by a spendthrift spouse. "This is no ordinary case," countered Winnie Mandela, arguing for a postponement after firing her lawyer in court Tuesday. Judge Frikkie Eloff was unswayed. Citing her refusal to testify or call witnesses, he granted an immediate divorce, cutting the union that once symbolized the struggle against white minority rule.
Winter boot showdown
Ellen Warren and Tribune senior correspondent
February 19, 2012
This all started with a couple of women griping about getting cold feet. It was September and Tribune outdoors columnist Barbara Brotman and I were already anxious and unhappy. Some people would make the case that I'm always anxious and unhappy. But Barbara? She's notoriously cheery. What was worrying us both was the upcoming cold weather and our annual failure to find a solution to our big winter woe. That is, keeping our feet protected from Chicago's usual trifecta of misery: freezing temps, snow and flowing gutters of icy slush.

Mariano's, the fast-growing upscale grocery chain owned by Milwaukee-based Roundy's, will nearly double its Chicago-area presence with the deal announced Monday to buy 11 Dominick's locations. The $36 million deal for the store leases and related assets is expected to close by the end of December. The stores will be converted to the Mariano's banner beginning in the first quarter of 2014. Employees at the stores being converted will need to reapply for jobs when the stores reopen as Mariano's.
Therapists see no developmental benefits from seats
By Julie Deardorff, Chicago Tribune reporter
March 15, 2012
Like other gadgets that confine babies, including walkers, exercise saucers and bouncy seats, the Bumbo Baby Seat is not popular among physical therapists. Bumbo's website says its product - which props up an infant in a sitting position before he may be physically ready to do it on his own - has developmental benefits and enhances posture. But the position actually teaches babies incorrect postural alignment, with a rounded back and the head leaning forward, said Mary Weck, clinical coordinator of physical therapy atChildren's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
The new nonsticks How do eco-friendly ceramic cooking surfaces perform in the kitchen?

May 23, 2012
Ever since nonstick cookware arrived in U.S. stores some 50 years ago, there's been a steady evolution in design and materials. Finishes have become more durable, metal bases more varied. The latest entry in the crowded market boasts a glossy ceramic-type cooking surface, an eco-friendly message, easy cooking and even easier cleaning. The first so-called green pans were introduced several years ago, but as more manufacturers incorporate the surface into cookware, they are popping up more and more at major retailers.
Michigan woman sues U.S. Catholic bishops over miscarriage treatment

By Brendan O'Brien Dec 2 (Reuters) - A Michigan woman has sued the U.S. Catholic bishops, arguing that a Catholic hospital in Michigan denied her adequate treatment during a painful miscarriage because of a policy banning even the discussion of abortion as an option. Tamesha Means said she went to a Catholic hospital in Muskegon, Michigan, the only hospital within 30 minutes of her home, when her water broke in December 2010 after only 18 weeks of pregnancy, according to the lawsuit filed Friday in Detroit federal court.

If the winner chose to take a cash prize instead of an annuity, it would amount to $184 million, according to the Mega Millions website. http://www.megamillions.com.

Amy Cramer, who finished law school in 2011, was one of the fortunate ones, if you define fortunate as finding a temporary job as an employee benefits consultant for $18 an hour soon after graduation. More than 14 percent of her classmates at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago had not found any job nine months after graduation. Cramer recently joined the ranks of unemployed lawyers when her contract job ended in October. "I love the law, but being unemployed is very tough on the psyche," said Cramer, 28.

Bowl game, little fanfare ahead for Notre Dame
By Brian Hamilton, Chicago Tribune reporter
December 1, 2013
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Near tables with take-home food boxes stacked five high, equipment trunks clattered up ramps and onto large trucks for the ride home. That was all that interrupted the quiet. Notre Dame's annual escape from California in the dark of night was a funereal procession Saturday, not the rolling fiesta of a year before. This wasn't abject failure after a loss to Stanford, but it didn't feel like success, as players turned the corner toward a bus and a postseason of tranquility.

Ball Don't Lie
Clippers' DeAndre Jordan has the 'Los Angeles' name ripped off his uniform, literally (Video)
Eric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie7 hrs agoIn recent years, it's become common for athletes to grab hold of their front of their jersey and pull out their team's name. This practice, similar to the tradition of soccer players kissing their clubs' badges to prove devotion, gives athletes the opportunity to celebrate their own amazing play while avoiding the sort of behavior that gets certain types of fans to argue that today's athletes are selfish.
However, it's possible that these athletes have also been engaging in an important test of their uniforms' durability. On Monday night, Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan experienced the worst case scenario.
Stephen Jackson and the Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to terms on a contract
Eric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie15 hrs agoThe Los Angeles Clippers have added yet another veteran to their roster. As announced on Monday, the team has agreed to terms with seasoned wing Stephen Jackson, last seen being cut by the San Antonio Spurs days before their run through the 2013 postseason. Terms were not immediately made public, although we will update as soon as they're made available.
Over 13 seasons with seven teams (including two stints with the Spurs), Jackson has proven to be effective and frustrating in equal measure. The Clippers, with a respected head coach in Doc Rivers, veteran leaders, and a depleted group of players on the wing, need any contributions that Jackson can provide.
Jackson teased the signing on Instagram Monday afternoon with an image and message:
Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times later confirmed the agreement on Twitter with a nod to Rivers:
Doc Rivers say Clips agreed to deal with Stephen Jackson. Jackson will join team in Boston Tuesday

The 10-man rotation, starring Nikola Mirotic, the potential face of the Chicago Bulls' future
Dan Devine at Ball Don't Lie17 hrs agoA look around the league and the Web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.
C: DraftExpress. Mike Schmitz offers an in-depth video scouting breakdown of Nikola Mirotic, a 2011 first-round pick who has become one of the top players in Europe and who may or may not be the stretch-four of the future for the Chicago Bulls. If you've heard his name but never really seen him play, this offers a nice encapsulation of the strengths and weaknesses in his game.
PF: Cavs: The Blog. Kevin Hetrick would like to know what the heck happened to Uncle Drew's ability to get buckets during the 2012-13 All-Star break: "Suddenly last February, Kyrie Irving became a run of the mill, volume chucker."
Unlike teammate Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash is not ready to return to game action
Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie18 hrs agoLast month, the Los Angeles Lakers and starting point guard Steve Nash made the smart decision to quit putzing around with Nash's combined ankle, back and nerve injuries. They both decided to shut the future Hall of Famer down until he was healthy enough to rejoin the team for the long haul, and not for fitful bits and pieces of play here and there, interrupted by long stints on the bench and days off from practices and/or games.
Tuesday will mark the one-month anniversary of Nash's last game with the team, and though fellow 30-something (for now for Steve, at least) Kobe Bryant returned to the lineup on Sunday, don't expect Nash to hobble back in any time soon. Bryant's Achilles tear could have been a career-killer, but at least Kobe had the benefit of orthodoxy on his side with his tear – you undergo surgery, it heals, you rehabilitate, you slowly work your way back like several other NBA players have in the past.
Wolves' Corey Brewer fined $5,000 for flopping against Heat's LeBron James (Video)
Dan Devine at Ball Don't Lie19 hrs agoMinnesota Timberwolves swingman Corey Brewer has been fined $5,000 for a second violation of the NBA's anti-flopping policy, the NBA announced Monday. The simulation in question took place with 2:51 left in the first quarter of the Wolves' 103-82 home loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday, as Brewer elected to embellish the contact he received from Heat star LeBron James while the two vied for a rebound of a missed Ray Allen 3-pointer:
Brewer had previously been warned for this explosive fall during a Wolves win over the New York Knicks on Nov. 3:
... meaning that going all dead-weight/flailing-arms after being bumped by LeBron will cost him $5,000, per the NBA's flop penalty schedule:
Violation 1: Warning
Violation 2: $5,000 fine
Violation 3: $10,000 fine
Violation 4: $15,000 fine
Violation 5: $30,000 fine
Violation 6: Subject to discipline reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension
Former Memphis assistant Barry Hecker details his odd firing, the Grizzlies' fractured ex-coaching staff
Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie19 hrs agoRare is the assistant coach dismissal that makes actual headlines, because in NBA circles assistants are usually only let go when a head coach gets the axe. On top of that, assistants usually aren't allowed by teams, in an informal fashion, to speak on record with the media – so you rarely get a glimpse into behind the scenes machinations, even if there is fire beneath that smoke.
Even rarer is watching as an assistant coach is dismissed midseason, and pretty much unprecedented is what happened to former Memphis Grizzlies assistant Barry Hecker last spring. In between Games 2 and 3 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder, Hecker was fired by Memphis. At the time, then-Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said the reasons for the separation were "nothing for public consumption."
Memphis Grizzlies' Quincy Pondexter out for season with right foot stress fracture
Dan Devine at Ball Don't Lie19 hrs agoMemphis Grizzlies swingman Quincy Pondexter suffered a "tarsal narvicular stress fracture in his right foot" during a Saturday night loss to the Golden State Warriors, the team announced Monday. Yahoo Sports NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the 25-year-old guard/forward was expected to miss the remainder of the season, which was confirmed Monday afternoon by Pondexter himself via Twitter:
Sad to tweet but the news is true. Still can't believe it myself. But I GUARANTEE l will be back next season BETTER THAN EVER!! Joshua 1:9
To Pondexter's credit, though, he seems to have adopted a positive and opportunistic outlook on his newfound bout with adversity:
On the bright side, I will be taking applications aka IG profiles for nurses ASAP!
Let it never be said that Quincy's asleep at the wheel when it comes to social media mackin'.
Two days before taking on LeBron James, Paul George says Kevin Durant is the NBA's toughest matchup
Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie21 hrs agoPaul George and his Indiana Pacers will play the Miami Heat on Tuesday. They'll play the Heat four times this season, with all signs pointing to an eventual Eastern Conference finals rematch this spring that should last six or seven games. The Pacers played the Heat 11 times last season, counting that seven-game Conference finals run that Miami prevailed in, and Indiana took on Miami ten times the year before – ultimately bowing out in the sixth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
That's a potential 32 games between the two teams between the winter of 2011 and spring of 2014, with George having to toil against LeBron James defensively the entire time. Including, as we referenced earlier, a matchup in mere hours as the two are set to link up again on Tuesday night.
This ongoing rivalry, alongside Kevin Durant's brilliant 36-point night in OKC's thrashing of Indiana on Sunday evening, may have been why George went with Kevin Durant over LeBron James as the NBA's toughest player to cover. From Scott Agness at the Pacers' website:
The Knicks can stop wearing their orange alternate jerseys if they want to
Dan Devine at Ball Don't Lie21 hrs agoAfter a pair of blowout wins over the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic late last week, the New York Knicks suffered their worst defeat of the season on Sunday, a 114-73 drubbing at the hands of the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Celtics that stands as the most lopsided result in the NBA this season (eclipsing a 38-point Los Angeles Clippers win over the Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls) and the third-worst loss at Madison Square Garden in franchise history (trailing a 50-point beating by the Dallas Mavericks in 2010 and a 43-point defeat by the Charlotte Hornets back in 2002. The visiting Celtics dominated the Knicks from the opening tip of the Sunday afternoon matinee, scoring the first 12 points of the game, leading by 17 points midway through the first quarter and needing just over 11 minutes to open up a 25-point cushion that was never seriously threatened.
Nick Young airballs a 360-degree layup attempt (Video)
Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie1 day agoThere was quite a bit of cackling to be heard when the Los Angeles Lakers signed shooting guard Nick Young during the offseason, as the former Wizards, Clippers and 76ers gunner has a quite the reputation as a mercurial chucker, and those sorts of players don't often tend to get along with someone like Kobe Bryant.
(Even though Kobe, if we're honest, has had his bouts with mercurial chucking.)
The pressing question, even if the Lakers are far from championship contenders, was whether or not Bryant and Kobe could co-exist either in the same Laker backcourt, or merely on the same bench once Bryant returned from his Achilles tear. Bryant did return on Sunday, but luckily for Nick, Kobe was on the Los Angeles pine when he attempted whatever the hell this was:
Young finished with 19 points on 16 shots, in a game that was actually far more efficient than Kobe's first contest back, and Bryant didn't appear to have any reaction to that shot, um, "attempt."

Fermilab says farewell to Lederman
By Jenette Sturges firstname.lastname@example.com June 8, 2012 6:12PM
Nobel prize winner and founding scientist at Fermilab, Leon Lederman laughs during his speech at his farewell party at Fermilab. | Brian Powers~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: July 11, 2012 10:19AM
BATAVIA — Fermilab physicists said a fond farewell to one of their favorite and most famous colleagues, in a manner only physicists could dream up — a gong, a roast, hundreds of scientists gathering around for one last photo, and a Mother Goose rhyme.
"These are the thousands of people who watch the detectors that witness the protons that kill antiprotons that fly in the magnets that make the collider that Leon built," read Vladimir Shiltsev, addressing Leon Lederman and a crowd of current and former Fermilab staff who on Friday said goodbye to Lederman. The lab's Nobel-prize winning director emeritus is retiring to Driggs, Idaho.
Thousands of people — whether they monitored collisions on the Tevatron, received neutrino therapy for cancer or simply listened to a Saturday science lecture — have been touched by Lederman's work in particle physics at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Lederman was Fermilab's second director, taking the helm in 1978. He is credited with first proposing a Midwestern site for a national accelerator laboratory in the mid-1960s.
As the laboratory's director, Lederman oversaw major developments, most notably the construction of the Tevatron, until recently the world's largest particle accelerator.
Lederman is perhaps best known in scholarly circles for his 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics, which he earned along with Brookhaven physicists Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger "for the neutrino beam method and the demonstration of the doublet structure of the leptons through the discovery of the muon neutrino."
Their work led to discoveries that "opened entirely new opportunities for research into the innermost structure and dynamics of matter," according to the Nobel committee.
But among Fermilab's scientists, he's known for his sense of humor.
The farewell program was dominated by stories of stand-up comedy and practical jokes — racquetballs flying through meetings with foreign dignitaries, fake accelerator controls built and installed in offices — in a golden age of the U.S. particle physics program.
Outside of the laboratory, Lederman has also made his mark on the community, championing physics education and supporting programs like those at the Illinois Math and Science Academy, which he helped found in 1986.
In May, IMSA dedicated its Lederman Science Wing for Creative Inquiry to the scientist, who has served as the Aurora school's resident scholar since 1998.
At Fermilab, the Lederman Science Center, an interactive learning center for middle school students, is named in his honor.
"I feel sorry for anyone who's never been in lecture with him," said Roger Dixon. "There's an incredible magic — well it's not magic, it's science — it's physics, hearing him speak."
Lederman, who will turn 90 in a few weeks, had a few words for those who follow in his footsteps working at one of the world's premier physics laboratories.
"I will not let you off the hook that Fermilab is the greatest laboratory in the universe, and probably in nearby universes, too," said Lederman. "And that's because you're all such wonderful people."
Fermilab Deputy Director Young-Lee Kim called Lederman a "real giant" in many aspects of science, as a physicist and as a leader, listing his many accomplishments and awards.
"You leave behind a beautiful, very rich neutrino program that will be a part of our future," Kim said. "Even if you leave this laboratory, you are not really leaving."

Winning and Not Winning
The objective is to win the hockey game.
Sometimes, that gets lost amidst the emotions and the agendas and the beliefs that no matter what, the game must be played a certain way under certain philosphies.
So there will be those who believe Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf's decision to fight Nick Foligno of the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday after Foligno illegally low-bridged Phaneuf earlier in the game was the right thing to do. The honorable thing to do. To many, such as my Sportsnet colleague Nick Kypreos, the thing you must do.
And you'll never convince those people otherwise.
Similarly, there will be those who believe that having your captain and best defenceman engage in a tough, fatiguing fistfight in the middle of a hardfought hockey game is a waste of that player's energies and abilities.
And you'll never convince those people otherwise.
In this case, Foligno's hit wasn't dirty; he's not that kind of player, and we know his dad sure wasn't. It was simply illegal, and he was sent to the penalty box for that hit early in the second period of the Leafs-Sens game.
About seven minutes later, with the Leafs winning the game 2-1, Phaneuf challenged Foligno to fight in a bid to avenge his honor, and Foligno obliged, winning a decision that ended with the Leaf captain's jersey pulled over his head.
Phaneuf picked up the extra minor, as he should have, and the Leafs killed off the penalty. Shortly after that, however, Jason Spezza tied the game on a goal that should have been waved off for goalie interference but wasn't, and then in the third Kyle Turris won the game with a short-side goal that James Reimer should have stopped.
To sum up, Phaneuf's decision might have been the right one for him. I wouldn't characterize it as selfish, per se, because it's a hockey credo he obviously believes in. His boss, Brian Burke, believes in "self-policing" and undoubtedly applauded the decision.
But it took Phaneuf out of the contest for seven minutes at a time when the Leafs were up by a goal, he didn't play noticeably well afterwards and the Leafs lost a game with potential playoff implications.
And the objective, folks, is to win the game. At least to some it is.

David Allen, Getting Things Done® and GTD®
> What are areas of focus vs. Someday Maybe?
"Areas of focus" would be a high-level checklist of all the areas in life and work that you want to keep your eye on, ensuring that you are doing what you need to be doing to maintain them at your standards. Examples might be health, relationships, career, finances, creative expression, etc. You may or may not have actions and projects about them—if the area is fine and "on cruise control," no need. But if it's not where it needs to be, you need to ensure that you have projects and actions to get them there, such as "Set up regular exercise program," "Call Jim re: suggestions about health clubs." "Someday Maybe's" are things that you might want to do (about anything) at some point, but not yet. You just want to be reminded about them on some regular basis to ensure that you are OK with the fact that you're not doing it yet. For example, learn Italian, climb Mt. Everest, own a vineyard. You will probably have "Someday Maybe's" in many of your areas of focus as well as active projects.

Another blow for Severn Barrage scheme off Somerset coast (From Yeovil Express)

Another blow for Severn Barrage scheme off Somerset coast
10:52am Wednesday 18th September 2013 in News By Newsdesk
A CONTROVERSIAL scheme to build a Severn Barrage has received another blow today after the Government said the proposals need improving to be given 'serious consideration'.
Developer Halfren Power wants to use the large tidal range of the Severn to generate electricity by stretching a barrage from Somerset to south Wales.
However, a Government report released today has cast doubt on the viability of the scheme.
Reacting to the report, Simon Bird, of anti-barrage group The Bristol Port Company, said: "We now have the Government, MPs on four independent committees and the scientists at the Houses of Parliament all saying that the Hafren Power proposal is thoroughly unconvincing.
"The debate has moved on to finding sustainable and balanced ways to generate energy from the Severn which the barrage never could achieve."
Environmentalist Kate Jennings, from the RSPB, said: "Once again, plans to build a Severn barrage have been effectively dismissed, failing to demonstrate either effective mitigation of environmental impacts or value for money.
"This is fantastic news for the wildlife of the Severn, and a welcome blast of common sense from the Government. Conservationists have been warning for years that this project would devastate the ecosystem of this estuary, but it has somehow managed to stay on the table."

Madison avenue is always behind the times, so is the film and all the social network industry.
I have seen the Made in America web site promoted by Darcy, ever since I set eyes on Tom Bihn Inc website, in 05.
Ads agencies try to sell things that are either unhealthy, cheaply made or unnecessary, sometimes all 3,
Everything Tom Bihn Inc sells is very useful, nice looking, made of sustainable fabrics and/or components with fair wage labor. Each item lasts a long time, is versatile as well as pleasing to people with a wide range of taste in colors and forms.
I could literally make a business course on how to create, grow and run a small business just by analyzing Tom Bihn Inc model.
When I visited the store, if I had been smarter, I would have ask questions on what makes the company so great, you know putting my "journalist" cap on.
I just had way too much fun to think about it.

I value corporate responsibility in the companies that make the things I buy and use, so "made in America" can be a part of that concept. But that assumes that "made in America" also means fair wages and benefits for workers; good working conditions on the job for workers; stewardship for the environment in attention to carbon footprint, sustainability, and minimal environmental degradation; making products that last and are not 'disposable' or designed with 'planned obsolescence,' just to name a few priorities for me. When "made in America" doesn't mean those things, I'm happy to do business with international companies that align more closely with my values.

As a bagaholic, I support American bag makers!!!
I've looked at this thread a couple of times - thinking 'gee I must try and explain how this relates to me on the other side of the planet...'

"Breakfast NOT included."
Don't book this hotel if you're planning on getting the breakfast that is "included", as you will not be getting it. Booked this hotel with hotels.com in August with "breakfast included", but upon my stay the "service" wasn't offered. The hotel blamed the booking (hotels.com), and hotels.com said all services available might change. Stuck either paying […] $10.66 per person to eat in the morning @ the hotel, or driving off site. Over the course of my stay, this turned into a loss of about $170 if we would have eaten there. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"Needs some upkeep"
The bathroom light was yellow, so i looked either tanned or jaundiced in the mirror. The tile in the tub needs regrouting. The mattress was a little past the replacement condition. The restaurant was fairly good, but the price was very high. They charged me way too much for a martini. The facility was cleaned well and regularly as was the room and everyone […] was very friendly and helpful. The exercise room had a good bunch of equipment (2 treadmills, an eliptical and a weight bench) with two TVs and a water cooler, and complimentary towels. The pools looked fun, especially for the kiddos. All in all, for the price, it was worth it. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"Needs More Renovation"
This hotel is very outdated, despite nice photos. The bar/restaurant was under construction while we were there, although there was a breakfast restaurant available. The kids' indoor swimming pool was also being renovated. The lobby was outdated and didn't offer a whole lot of seating. In general, it seemed run down to me. The rooms themselves were […] updated and nice, but they short-sheeted the bed, which was incredibly annoying, considering it was refrigerated to 70 degrees. (Please, tell housekeeping that he sheets should at least come past people's waists.) What bothered me the most was the wait at the front desk. Both people completely ignored me for over 5 minutes while they talked on the phone. Not even a glance. While we were in the lobby, it seemed the phone also rang off the hook, which was loud and annoying. In my room, my TV was unplugged (??) and a lightbulb was out. Having said all of this, it was a good choice for the price and it did the job. But if I were to visit Tulsa again, I'd probably take my chances on something different for the poor service at the front desk alone. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"Rooms fine, price was right"
This hotel is an old 10 story property that was probably a happening place in 1980. It has been purchased by Wyndham and is being renovated. My room was a freshly renovated king non-smoking, and it featured a very nice sleep number bed. The room had a smallish 32" LCD TV, a small refrigerator, and a microwave and coffee pot. TV programming was digital […] and had a full roster of channels, including NFL Network. The free wifi system is flawed; it is an N structure but is slow as dial up at night and is prone to bumping one off the network. This needs a major upgrade and is a cheap date. The rest of the hotel is under renovation. I did not eat in the hotel during my stay as the main dining room was closed, and the coffee shop was always desolate. The neighborhood is concerning at night, and parking close is difficult. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
Well this is not a good day for Hotels.com to be contacting me in any way. I just found out that my two rooms were $89 a night all right just like they were supposed to be but who would have guessed that taxes and services fees would add up to $99. I know taxes are high but come on now. That has to be Hotels.com fees which means I could have booked […] it myself and saved money. Never again, Hotels.com As for the Wyndham there were no ice machines except in Bar on first floor--A little out of the way for Fourth floor. They provided a coffee pot but it would not plug in where it was, had to be moved to behind TV to work. All in all, not too impressed. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

"Good Hotel"
The stay and staff were all great, and the indoor water area was perfect for our 1.5 year old. The restaurant located in the hotel was good quality. Our only complaint was that our room smelled as if it used to be a smoking room (though now the entire facility is non-smoking). We switched rooms after the first room we were given smelled smoky, but the […] second room smelled the same. If you can get past this, it's a great place to stay, though perhaps a little bit expensive since there is no breakfast provided in the morning.

Great fun, and the kids loved the pool.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Excellent room. The BEST shower I have ever found"
Nice location. Quiet room. Fantastic shower. The only issue we had was over Labor day weekend, only 3 elevators and no stairs made getting to and from the 5th floor a game of patience or a game of sardines. Great value for the money.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Hotel Condition"
I had never run across a tired Wyndham hotel, until now. From the lobby, to the elevators and hallways, the bathroom in the room, and the worn-out mattress, this hotel is in need of remodeling and retrofitting. Expedia had what appeared to be a very low rate, and now I know why.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia

"Great place to stay"
This is the second time this summer I have stayed here. It is a great place to stay, especially if you have children. The indoor pool seems to be enjoyed by many young ones. They have a club on the bottom floor with great bartenders and a fine restaurant on site too. The room service is exceptional and any problem we had was dealt with immediately. […] The showers have the best water pressure I've ever enjoyed. I will use this hotel every time I'm in Tulsa. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
The hotel would not allow us to stay past check out as we had arranged with them. We also made prior arrangements for hotel services to drive us to a nearby hospital for the two mornings of our stay. The first morning they did, but the driver was very rude and asked who we talked to to make the arrangements. The next morning, the hotel refused to drive […] us to the hospital. We were very frustrated because this is a service the hotel boasts of providing. We liked the swimming pool for our little one but the bottom of the pool was filthy both evenings we went.

Room was fine; house keeping staff very helpful. Pool facilities were dirty, neglected, and there were never towels available (even after personally requested to personnel at front desk). Outside pool was closed for 1.5 days! Outside pool was BEYOND neglected. My husband and other guests had to clean it themselves. There was debris and dead flowers […] e v e r y w h e r e inside the pool! The landscaping was so neglected, it was just embarrasing! Springling system didn't work and the water just flowed everywhere on the deck area making puddles of dirty water because of the dirty deck! This hotel should not be rated 3.5 stars as it is advertised when I booked the room. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Overnight stay at the Wyndham in Tulsa"
While our room was clean, it had an old outdated telephone on the desk that was just a shell with no electronics in it. Waiting for elevators was very slow and the screen in the elevator didn't light up to show you what floor you're on. There are also very old black telephones on the wall by the elevator doors. Weird. Not a lot of attention is paid […] to details across the board. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Great clean rooms!"
Location is convenient. Major grocery store and many cages within walking distance. Hotel smells of chlorine due to the indoor swimming pool. Elevators were often wet due to the children swimming.

"Would Stay Again"
I stayed here back in May and was absolutely delighted, so naturally I was excited to stay again. The hotel is exceptionally clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. My room was immaculate; however, my issue was with the bed. I had the most comfortable bed in May, yet during this stay, the sleep number bed was difficult to get to the "right fit."

"A good hotel for families with kids 12 and under"
The kids pool is perfect for kids age 6 months to 12 years. Any older and they are just too big to be able to enjoy the slides and floats. Our kids are 5 and 3.5 and they were non-stop for 2 hours. It is indoors, which is even better so you don't have to worry about sunburns. Just sit on the side and watch as your kids wear themselves out before bed. The […] room itself was a little cramped and there is no refrigerator, so if you are coming for room comfort, this isn't the best hotel, but not the worst either. On the plus side, it was very clean, which we can't say the same for other hotels that are supposedly of the same caliber. Also, we appeared to be on the "kids" floor since I saw kids every time we walked in/out, but we never heard them once we were inside the room (BIG PLUS in my book). They only have 5 luggage carts, so good luck getting one if you need it. I had to make 3 trips down with our luggage for the first shuttle to the airport at 4:30am because every cart had "disappeared". They said people have a tendency to borrow them and leave them in their rooms overnight. Overall, the staff was very pleasant, courteous and helpful. They seemed to enjoy their job and at least put on a good face for us customers. It is something I have really come to appreciate. They were asking if we needed help instead of me having to try and seek them out or force eye contact to get them to notice me. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia

The highlight of this hotel was the pool... The rooms were nice the staff was friendly and helpful ... The hotel was in a great location only 15 min from the zoo and 5 min from mall and movies ...

"Good hotel for a night"
I was in Tulsa for one night and the hotel was fine for the stop over. It looks like it is close to the airport.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
This hotel doesn't have a water park. They have put a few toys in the small indoor pool and called it a water park. It is not worth the extra money you pay. Also, the beds feel like boards. I was very disappointed.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Clean hotel with friendly staff"
I needed a hotel while visiting family in Collinsville and a friend in Purcell. The hotel was about 15-20 minutes from the airport, which was convenient for my purposes. The breakfast buffet was decent, although the bar & grill was somewhat limited for dinner. The room itself was cold when we entered, but the thermostat adjusted to a comfortable temperature […] pretty quickly. The room was clean and the beds comfortable (Sleep Number beds were adjustable). The water pressure was impressive, so the shower created a real massage effect. The bathroom steamed up, as the exhaust fan did not appear to be working. The smell of chlorine from the indoor pool permeated the ground floor. I found it inoffensive, just reminiscent of public pools, though some might not like it.

"Previous reviews don't due this hotel justice"
I booked a room at the mystery 40% off. When I found out the name, Wyndham Tulsa, I researched it for reviews.

I would definitely recommend it to others traveling to Tulsa.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia
"Great stay for family vacations!"

"close to where we needed to be."
We enjoyed our stay and the indoor/outdoor pool. Wish they had a few rooms that were smoking. Our room service menu was outdated so it was a little inconvenient.

life according to my blackberry
I'm back again! Please forgive my absence after I said I was returning... I got really sick and so I basically slept all day for a few days last week. Luckily, I am all better now in time for my finals and midterms! (Can't you hear my excitement?) Here is what I have been up to for the past few days, as captured from my blackberry:
{Lots of time spent studying this week for my three exams (two of which are finals!). I have one more final next week, and then I can go home and spend 5 days with my family. I cannot wait!}
{I started wearing my bangs down again. This is a huge step for me, as I get in really vicious hair cycles. It's bad.}
{My sleepy time tea as I like to call it! Ever since I was sick I haven't been able to sleep well at night, so I decided to try this. It definitely relaxes me!}
{I just got done at CrossFit today! I am soo happy to be back. I took a week off while I was sick. I missed it soo much!}
{My breakfast of champions. Sometimes you just need some chocolate to start your day off right! (this is 85% dark, I love me some dark chocolate!)}

Times are still tough when it comes to finding work; 9 percent of North Carolinians are still unemployed, which is higher than our national average. This, along with the new changes to North Carolina's unemployment benefits, which were signed into law last month, means that it is going to be crucial to many to get work as soon as possible. Cumberland County Public Library & Information Center has always provided resources not only to assist with job searching but also to provide access to technology and training needed to make it in the current market.
The library's job fair, which will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 12 at Headquarters Library 300 Maiden Lane. Professions represented include: education, banking, manufacturing, sales, finance, technical work, trade, law enforcement, information technology, and federal and county governments. Previous job fairs have seen these organizations hire people on the spot, so dress for success and be prepared to bring your resume with you when visiting.
If you need to get your resume up to speed before visiting the fair, there you will want to attend the resume and interview prep sessions being held by the Fayetteville Area Society of Human Resource Managers. You will also find an open computer lab for creating or editing your current resume. If you are searching for work, staff will be available to show you PipelineNC, a one-stop resource for learning about job openings and for planning your future education or employment.
In conjunction with the job fair is training for the Career Readiness Certificate, a nationally recognized program used in hiring decisions at more than 500 North Carolina businesses. Through the North Carolina CRC exam, you can prove that you have the three basic skills needed for most jobs: applied mathematics, reading for information and locating information. By taking the CRC exam, you will earn certification at either the gold, silver or bronze level based on your scores. During the job fair, you can create a free training account that will help you prepare for the exam. You can also get the free training account at any library location before or after the job fair.
Our eight locations regularly provide job and career classes, along with sessions for those who are interested in starting a small business. We also provide computer classes that can help teach you the skills you need to succeed in the current workforce. Check our calendar of events for upcoming classes near you.
For more information, call 483-7727, or visit our online Job & Career Center at cumberland.lib.nc.us/ ccplsite.

The University of Cambridge has been awarded planning permission for a £1 billion development on a 150 hectare site in north-west Cambridge. Included in the proposals are 1,500 homes for key University and College employees, 1,500 homes for sale, accommodation for 2,000 students, 100,000 sq m of research facilities, as well as community facilities. It is hoped that phase one of the project - comprising around 956 homes, accommodation for 300 students and the site's local centre - will start in early 2013 and be completed halfway through 2015. The university has been working on plans since 2003 and project director Roger Taylor said the considerations of local people has been key. "It is very important that our development is integrated into the existing community and brings positive benefits to local people," he explained. "The new community facilities will be open to all and everyone will have access to large areas of new open space for sports, walking and other activities."

It's been awhile since I wanted to meet Swoon. Everytime she stopped by Paris (2007 & 2010) I was overseas so I never get the chance to see one of her solo show. I did see some of her pieces in New York, London, Berlin or Sao Paulo but not in Paris or in a gallery.
Last week, Adeline Jeudy owner and curator of Galerie LJ, welcomed myself and a camera to interview Caledonia Curry that everybody knows as Swoon, while she was working setting up her latest solo show "Motherlands".

In the weeks leading up to the temporary closure of SFMOMA's building on June 3, 2013, to allow for construction of its expansion, Jonn Herschend filmed Stories from the Evacuation (2013) on location at the museum. He interviewed staff members about their involvement with the relocation of the art collection, offices, and information server and also about their individual perspectives on the transition. In Herschend's resulting film, his behind-the-scenes examination becomes a departure point for a larger narrative exploring personal risk and change.

We did a little winter sailing yesterday on the SF Bay, can't stop thinking about it. Lovely 10 knots of wind with a nice genoa up and we were hitting 6 knots of boat speed. Lunch at Angel Island, and it's days like yesterday, miles from the city and enjoying all the quiet and island to ourselves, that reminds us how important having a boat is.
Buy this Santana and join us... or not, we'd rather have it all to ourselves anyway.
