I am truly sorry to see that this one didnt make it, you have my prayers...
Im very new to this. I just had a D&C on friday. My dr found that i had a blighted ovum on thursday and i had a miscarraige when i was 15 that was extremely traumatic and i knew the only way i could get through this is by having the surgery. what makes it more difficult is that i am a Navy wife and my husband is away while this has happened. My family is more than supportive but it doesnt make it any easier. I was almost 11 weeks so its all a little hard to take in so quickly.
I have been married for two years and just found out today that my first pg is not going to continue...there was no heartbeat. We ttc for 11 mths and during that process I had surgery to clean out scar tissue, clear out my tubes, and remove an ovarian cyst...that was in April. We had three months of higher fertility post sx and got pg in the last month before we would have started clomid and IUI. We were thrilled to be pg. My husband deployed to Guam a month ago. While he was gone my u/s started to look scary...things such as the heartbeat is slow and the baby had not grown much in the last week. However, I still had hope that the baby could thrive. Today I expected to see proof that my baby had gotten a stronger heartbeat and had grown more. Instead, I was told there was no heartbeat. I am scheduled for a D & C on Monday. They said we can ttc two months later. The Red Cross is bringing my husband home from Guam...he should be here Sunday night. I am so grateful for this supportive forum. The stories make me cry but also give me hope.
In addition, my lil sister is pg with her second child. Our kids would have been one month apart.

My DH (33) and I (30) have been ttc since 6/08. I finally had a bfp on 09/09 (a week before my AF was due) and bought my DH a book titled "What to expect when your wife is expanding"... I wrapped it up and gave it to him... he was soooo excited and with this being his first he wanted to call everyone right away and give them the good news. My darn dog chewed up all "4" of by bfp's and on Monday 09/15 I decided to buy another one for a keepsake... it came back negative, I was so surprised and didn't believe it . I called my Dr and the next day I had my bhcg checked again and the levels went down significantly Needless to say, I started bleeding on Wednesday. I am still soooo sad and can't believe it's already been a week.
Hello I'm Doc and I am so glad that I found this forum.I have been lurking in the background and finally decided to register so that I could share my story.I am 30yrs old and have a beautiful daughter Victoria who is 10yrs old.I have multiple health problems that started when I was a child which include Lupus,MS,Multiple Autoimmune disorders and an Infection in my heart along w/"women" problems that started when I got AF at age 9.I was told that I wouldn't be able to have children so I gave up on wanting them a very long time ago.I ended up getting pregant w/my first daughter,Victoria when I was 19 but was very ill from the begnning of conception and very high risk so much so that at 5 weeks they told me I would have to have my one and only tube tied as soon as I gave birth to my first daughter.Things went as well as could be expected w/her even though I went into labor when I was 6 1/2 month along.I finally gave birth to a beautiful daughter a month early on Aug.30,1998.After having her I had my tube tied and even though I would have liked to have one more knew that I never would be able too.Well almost.In 2005 my DH (not my first daughters father) and I found out that I was pregant when I was 2 weeks along.My health had gotten a lot worse since the first pregancy and my symptoms where a whole lot more intense and worse than the first time around.After a few weeks of adjusting to the shock and deciding that ok this was happening I was happy but causious about being pregant.I had us every week and being that I an DH are Paramedics we could listen to the babys heartbeat whenever we wanted (which was wonderful) things we going ok.Mother's Day weekend my younger brother graduated from College and we went and had a wonderful weekend and Mother's Day then came home.Then things got bad really bad.I was 20ish weeks and I started having severe cramping and pain and after waking up to me bleeding I called my doctor in the middle of the night at home.He told me to come straight to his office that he would met me there.My DH was away for work and I was alone so I was alone I got up and went to the docs office.When I got there he already had the us and everything ready and we both knew it was not going to be good.He did all of his "stuff" and looked at me and told me that I was in labor and that there was nothing we could do to stop me from loosing my daughter.He proceded to tell me that I was having her but he was going to do everything to make it a easy on me as he could.After an epidural and long endless hours w/my DH and w/my doctor who has been a long time personal friend I gave birth to our daughter Sydney Ryan Taylor Hunt @ 8:48pm on 5/13/05.She was already gone but I just sat there holding her crying.After more than 2hrs w/her they took her from us.Three days later I left the hospital w/o my beautiful daughter in my arms.It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.The second hardest thing was having to tell my other daughter Victoria that her little sister wasn't coming home but had instead gone home to be in heaven w/God.I still can't think or talk about Sydney w/o crying my eyes out.
I keep thinking that if I weren't so sick then I wouldn't have lost her and she would be here next to me right now.I feel that it is my fault & I know that it ultimatly was my fault.I know this because of my medical background and even my doctor told me that it most likely happened because my body attacked Sydney as if she were a foreign invader and as it would happen my body got rid of what it thought was the foreign invader.Sometimes I think that having all of the knowledge that I have is a total curse.I can't get over this and the nagging guilty feeling that if it were not for me Sydney would still be here.
I'm sry this was such a long post but this is the first time that I have written about what happend to my Sydney and it is taking a lot out of me.Thank u all for the support of this forum and the chance for me to talk about this w/others who know and understand what I have gone through and continue to go through on a daily basis.
God Bless You all,

I was 20 when I lost my sweet sweet angel Adrianna. She had muscle dystrophy and we were told she would not make it to the age of 3. As time progressed, she became stronger and was surpassing what the doctors had said. She took her first steps at the age of a 13 months (we were told she would NEVER walk). By July, she was soaring with improvements. Her dad fell asleep while driving, and we lost her July 7th, 2005 at 9:12am. Her dad, soon after.
Shane was my miracle baby. No complications, soared through the pregnancy with flying colors until my water broke. October 23, 2006 he was born into heaven at 5:34pm.
In 2006, I met my DH. We had a whirlwind romance and I moved in Jan 2007. The end of May I started what we thought was AF, but something was different. I took a HPT, and it was positive- But I was miscarrying. We lost our Isabella June 6, 2007. Never even knew, until it was too late.
2007, was no different. 3 losses. May(chem), June(chem), & August(9wks).
I am 23, my DH is 27.
We are now waiting to TTC in April of 2009. I am praying every day next year will be different. Next year will be OUR year to become parents.
I would like to thank u all for the support that I have recieved from everyone since I have come here.I have found so much support and that has helped me a great deal.I am still trying to deal w/the loss of my Sydney.It has been 3yrs since I lost her but the 15th of last month is when she was to be born and so I have had a really bad week.I still cry everytime I think of Sydney but I know it is not always going to be that way.Even though she was not planned at all I was incrediblly excited when I found out I was pregant but I was devistated when I lost her.I so appreciate all of the support that I have gotten from all of u and am so glad that I found this forum because I have been able to talk w/u all about loosing Sydney which is something that I have not done.I'm so glad that I am able to talk to u all and deal w/this by talking about Sydney and what happened to me and her.Thank u so much for everything.God Bless u all.

My name is Lily. On October 24 my husband and I were delighted to find out that we were FINALLY pregnant after trying to conceive for two years and struggling with irregular ovulation and countless appointments making sure both of us were still fertile. I am 32 and Jeff is 31 this month. Both of us have a child from previous relationships but it's been years since either of us have had children. I have a 9yr. old son and he has a 14 year old daughter... In between those years we both did a lot of growing up and partying and doing unsafe things that our late teens and early twenties brought along that could feasibly jeopardize our ability to have a family later in life. Jeff and I met four years ago and were married in August 06. We decided before our wedding that we wanted to try for a family immediately after we were wed. We both felt that being in our thirties and much more financially responsible and mature that we were in a good place to start a family. Upon finding out we were FINALLY pregnant via 3 positive home pregnancy tests we scheduled our first prenatal appointment. On Oct. 29 we were given an EDD of July 3. So, we celebrated by going out and looking at stuff to start our nursery, and looking into cd's and books to help prepare our menagerie of animals for the impeding arrival.
Monday morning I woke up only to find myself calling my Doctor first thing in the morning. The doctor advised us to go to the ER. Needless to say this is not the answer I wanted to hear and scared me to death. I called my Mom at work and she picked me up to drive me. (Knowing that I probably wasn't going to be in any kind of emotional state to be able to handle it, and my husband was still on his way to work I couldn't reach him til I was at the hospital) Jeff showed up at the ER shortly afterward.
After spending all day in the ER, we didn't really any real answers as to what was going on. They suspected that I wasn't pregnant, or not as far as we initially thought, and the U/s didn't show what was going on really well because of the heavy bleeding in my uterus. They felt that I may have already passed the baby. I had a follow up ultrasound with my doctor Tuesday. Tuesday morning they discovered that my pregnancy is in my right tube and diagnosed me with an ectopic pregnancy. I'm on bed rest for the rest of the week.
They gave me Methotrexate, a drug used in cancer patients, to dissolve the pregnancy to hopefully avoid surgery. The drug may cause some scarring in the tube and I may lose the use of that tube. However, I risk the same with surgery. From what I am able to gather from the explanation of the doctors is that the drug is used to try to dissolve tumors in cancer patients and is very caustic and likely to make me very ill while on it.
We lit a candle for "Christopher" yesterday evening and had ourselves a good cry. Today we've cried some and talked more... we even managed a couple giggles and sweet nothings between phone calls and emails from friends across the nation and my family dropping of some comfort food for me. I know that I am blessed to have so many people that care about us, and that Jeff is the loving husband that he is. I don't know how I could get through this if he wasn't here with me.
About 11 years ago I got pregnant the first time with my exhusband. The pregnancy ended badly and almost killed me (literally) when I had the miscarriage. I had hemorrhaged and almost bled to death from the loss. My exhusband refused to even show his face at the emergency room and had the audacity to fight with me when I got home. He wanted to know where his van was because he had to be at work in the morning. I had left it at the hospital. I was in no condition to drive the 6 blocks home. The doctors had filled me up on a few pain killers and god knows what else. Shortly there after I moved 500 miles away from him and started a new life.
This time while I was in the emergency room I knew Jeff was there, but that fear of him not being there definitely reared its head when he moved his truck from the 30 minute parking zone.. I don't suppose it was too irrational a thought to have considering I have been through it before.. It was probably the greatest gift I got from this was knowing that through thick or thin, no matter what the cost, my husband was with me and loves me unconditionally. He wasn't mad that I called my mom. He wasn't angry that he lost a day at work. I was glad to see that he was as heartbroken as I am about losing this child... It let me know that he felt something.... I suppose being glad he was hurt by this isn't a nice thing to feel, but I don't know any other way to put it... I went from one extreme to another.. From a husband who could give two ######s less if I lived or died losing his child, to one that was brought to his knees in grief by the loss of his child... Is that really cruel and insensitive of me?
no. it's not cruel at all. it's not that you are happy that he is in pain you are happy that he cares.
Hi ladies... I figure it's time to come over here... I have had a total of six losses and two live biths. My first loss was in April 2001 and the cause is unknown. The second time I got pregnant, I gave birth to my DD (March 2005) early but she was healthy and honestly, I saw her as a miracle. I had been told that I'd probably never conceive again after having her, so DH and I decided to try to beat the odds...
I got pregnant three more times in 2005 (July, September, November)...all of which ended in loss. We decided to try once more time, but I ended up losing yet again in January of 2006. After that, I gave up. I didnt want to take the pain anymore and I slowly became okay with the fact that maybe my DD would be my only child.
Much to my surprise in December 2007 I found out I was pregnant again. The pregnancy was rough, but I gave birth to another healthy girl in August 2008. She's beautiful and we are so thankful yet again.
I was put on the mini pill because we thought it would be best to hold off TTC for awhile due to the past. ...Well, the pill failed and I got pregnant, only to just recently lose over the holiday weekend -November 2008 and I'm just numb to it.
As of now, we are still not preventing and putting things in God's hands. If all else, we will TTC either Jan/Feb 2009. The causes of 5 of my 6 miscarriages has been confirmed as Incompetent Cervix.

Welcome.. this is a great place to share our experiences and find support!!
I totally understand how you are feeling.. I had 3 mc in five months period (a total of 5 mc in two years) and I was devastated. a- I conceived last year - without any treatment - DD is 9 months.. but each mc was very painful. If you ever want to talk more.. you can PM -
Hello everyone,
I joined this site in August and haven't said much because I usually read other posts to make myself feel the comfort that other people know of what I have been through. I recently mc in August. It was early on, but any mc is hard. I have a healthy 20 m/o daughter and I got pregnant the next cycle after the miscarriage and wasn't trying. I love these forums b/c everyone is so nice a welcoming. I pray that everyone including myself that's pregnant has a safe pregnancy. I wish for every mom that has lost a child the peace in knowing that those babes are in heaven and in a better place with no suffering. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone!!!
Me and my boyfriend were so excited to find out after 3 years of trying to concieve... we did it.
We went and saw our little ones heart beat and i was so happy and still in shock that i was going to be a mommy. I have wanted this for so long.
when we went in to hear the hearbeat my heart broke a little that day. They couldnt find my babys heart. The doctor told me not to worry because i have had no cramping and no bleeding. and they would try again at my next U/S appt. 4 wks from that day.
That very next week i changed my doctor due to location and had my first nurse visit on Dec 10. I went alone thinking i was going to do some paperwork and be out in no time. My boyfriend had to work that day so it was no big deal. I talked to the nurse about all the family history blahblah... i told her that the week before they couldnt find the heart. she told me that she would try again and not to worry sometimes it cant be heard with doppler for some time. she tried with two different doppler gadgets and then said that we would do a u/s just to see the heart. i was kinda excited to see my little one again since it had been 4 wks since i had seen its heart.
i went into the u/s room and the tech was very nice and talkative until she asked me if i was sure when my last period was. after that the talking stoped. and that is when i stopped looking at her face. something was wrong. she left the room in a big hurry without saying anything to me at all.
i went back to the room where i was jsut 20 minutes before and waited for the nurse. when she walked in i knew. she said that i was 12 wks along but my baby was only developed to 9 and there was no heartbeat. i lost it. my tiny miracle was no longer alive.
why did i have to be alone on that day. i went numb.
So fast forward to yesterday. me sitting in pre-op in my hospital gown waiting for them to take my angel out of me. with my family by my side i silently said goodbye to my baby and sent it to heaven.
In my belly for 12wks and 6 days. i will always remember this love i feel.
Hello everyone,
My name is Jessica & I m/c today @ 8 wks. I'm typing while crying my eyes out & trying deal with all the feelings pouring out of me.
I suffer from PCOS & my husband & I were elated when the pregnancy was confirmed - thought it would be difficult because of my condition. My Dr. said that concieving naturally is a good sign that we'll be able to concieve again, but now I fear that something with my PCOS may cause me to m/c again. I chose not to have a DNC & know that the intense cramping means my little angel is leaving my body. It's nice to know there is so much support on this site, it's definitely going to be a great help for me.
Thanks for listening.
Hello Jessica,
I am so sorry for your loss. - my heart goes with youAs I was reading your post I remembered my first loss. I completely understand how you are feeling, I also have PCOS. I would recommend to take as much time you need to heal before you try again and to have a good doctor.
Welcome and please come here anytime.. we are here for you!
If you ever need to talk you can PM -
I can't believe I haven't posted this here yet…
After starting the TTC journey in December '07, we concieved in April and I got my BFP on Mother's day, 2008.
8 weeks later, I was told I would miscarry even though my HCG's had continued to rise at were at 267,000 at week 10.
I went thru several u/s and switched doctors before we could accept the fact that the baby stopped developing. I elected for a D&C at 13 weeks since my body hadn't even started spotting. After the D&C I spotted for 78 days waiting for my HCG's to return to normal. AF came a total of 105 days later.
As my 1/21/09 due date approaches, it gets harder for us emotionally.
Our little angel, Samuel, will be forever in our hearts.
I love him and miss him every day, and I will for the rest of my life.
My next loss was a chemical pregnancy in January, 2009. I would have been due 5 days before my own birthday.
I'm currently pregnant with a healthy little girl, due 1/17/10.... a BFP on Mother's day for the second year in a row. When the doctor ran Beta's, there was a significant rise at 20 dpo. The nurse commented that "there must be twins in there!" Sure enough, there was, but at that first ultrasound, it was discovered that baby B was already lost.
We consider our LO a blessing and her twin a guardian angel she will have for the rest of her life.
January seems to be a signficant month for us. Our first LO was due 1/21/09 and the doctor keeps saying the EDD for this LO is 1/17/10 - 1/21/10. We both cringe when we hear him say that. The chemical loss also occured in January - the week I was due with #1 and now #3.

Well in September 2008 my hubs & I decided to TTC baby #4 I usually get pregnant very quickly but we didn't get a BFP til December 4 2008 when I realized I was 4 days late. So we told everyone cuz I had 3 normal healthy pregnancies with our sons & didn't think this pregnancy would be any different. Well on December 13 I went to the bathroom & when I wiped there was blood so I freaked out & called my hubby in & we called the Dr. who told me that IF it was a miscarriage it would be over in a couple hours with heavy bleeding & cramping so I waited for this heavy bleeding which didn't come & the cramps were no more than like a menstrual cycle so I went to bed & when I got up in the middle of the night the bleeding was very light & the cramps had stopped.
so on that monday December 15th I went to have my HCG levels checked & they were 10,000 so they were good on December 16th I went for an U/S & to our wonderful surprise the baby had a heartbeat so we thought that everything would be fine I went home & was on bed rest well I started to have more cramping & bleeding so on December 17th I had my HCG levels checked again but this time they were only 9,000, they went down which I knew that wasn't good so on December 18th 2008 we went for a second ultrasound & found that the baby no longer had a heartbeat,we were devastated, well that night I had severe cramping & really heavy bleeding & the next day when I woke up the bleeding had pretty much stopped so when I went to the Dr. to have my D&C done I told her I was no longer bleeding so she decided to just give me cytotec which would help get rid of any tissue that was left well when I left the Dr. office on the 19th I went straight to the hospital cuz my leg was very swollen & painful & what we found out was I have a huge blood clot in my left leg & since there really is no reason for me to get clots like that they are thinking that I have a blood disorder that causes clotting & that may have been the reason I miscarried but they have to do further test to find out....
So I was almost 7 weeks pregnant when we lost the baby & even though it wasn't there very long we loved it just the same as our other children so it has been very hard on us cuz I went from worrying about the baby to worrying about my leg so we didn't really have time to grieve so it hits us once in a while & we'll cry together & it helps
It has been awhile since I have been here and I just read thru all of the posts. I am sorry for everyone's losses and so inspired by the strength in all of you. We are still grieving our loss but I am functioning better and trying again. I hope all of us find a sense of peace because we will never forget.
I just miscarried. We only found out we where pregnant Jan. 5th, and it was clarified by our Health Department Jan. 9th. Then this past Tuesday (Jan. 13th) I started cramping and bleeding at work. I went home and decided to wait till Wednesday to go to the Health Department.
The Health Department sent me straight to the ER and after test and other things, my hCG level was 164. For me to have been 6 weeks pregnant that is really low. It should have been over 1,000. The ultrasound didn't show any sac or anything either. It is not official till I go back to the ER tomorrow to have my hCG levels drawn again, but I know. I just have that gut feeling.
I woke up this morning and bled alot. Passed alot of clots and have been bleeding pretty heavy all morning. That and also this morning when I woke up, I felt normal. No pregnancy symptoms or nothing. Just dull cramping in my lower abdomen and bleeding.
It is hard to fathom being pregnant and happy one minute and not pregnant the next. I was hoping I would be one of the lucky ones to never experience this, but I guess I was wrong.
We do plan to try again, though I cannot lie and say that I am not at the least bit worried that it may happen again. We can only hope....
I just got the results back from my d&c i had on Dec 17. The nurse said that i will be considered high risk in every pregnancy that i have because of TRISOMY 2.
What the hell is that. everything i see online is no good. and the nurse had nothing to give me that was of any kind of information except the dr would call me on monday.
please help, i am a complete mess right now.
Hello everyone, I have never posted about the specifics of my miscarriage and I don't know if Im ready to yet but I want to say thankyou to you all for posting.
As I am sitting here crying reading your posts it is just all so real. I have been having a really hard time lately because this month was my DD and everyone I was pregnant with is having their babies. As we speak actually my best friend is being induced! I just don't know how to feel.
We have been trying since Oct 06. and at this point I have almost given up hope of ever carrying to term a baby of my own. DH is leaving for Afghanistan within the year again so this will be another year of no babies. Sorry for the tangent......sometimes I just feel so alone because ALL of my friend have brand new babies or are pregnant with there 1st or 2nd and we have none. I really appreciate all of you ladies! I am sorry for all of your losses.

Article on CNN.com regarding the rising alcohol content in wine.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflif ... index.html
It also mentions the process of vinovation in reducing the alcohol content in wine. Anyone knowingly had a wine that's been through this process? Was it still good? Just seemed a little strange the way they take out the alcohol and the water and then added water back in.

- Change your password frequently.
- Never share username and password information with third-party providers.
- Avoid using an automatic login feature that saves usernames and passwords.
General Guidelines
- Do not use public or other unsecured computers for logging into Online Banking.
- Check your last login date/time every time you log in.
- Review account balances and detail transactions regularly (preferably daily) to confirm payment and other transaction data and immediately report any suspicious transactions to your financial institution.
- View transfer history available through viewing account activity information.
- Whenever possible, use Bill Pay instead of checks to limit account number dissemination exposure and to obtain better electronic record keeping.
- Take advantage of and regularly view system alerts; examples include:
- Balance alerts
- Transfer alerts
- Password change alerts
- ACH Alerts (for cash management users)
- Wire Alerts (for cash management users)
- Do not use account numbers, your social security number, or other account or personal information when creating account nicknames or other titles.
- Whenever possible, register your computer to avoid having to re-enter challenge questions and other authentication information with each login.
- Review historical reporting features of your online banking application on a regular basis to confirm payment and other transaction data.
- Never leave a computer unattended while using Online Banking.
- Never conduct banking transactions while multiple browsers are open on your computer.
Tips to Protect Online Payments & Account Data
- Take advantage of transaction limits. Establish limits for monetary transactions at multiple levels: per transaction, daily, weekly, or monthly limits.
- When you have completed a transaction, ensure you log off to close the connection with the financial organization's computer.
- Use separate accounts for electronic and paper transactions to simplify monitoring and tracking any discrepancies.
- Reconcile by carefully monitoring account activity and reviewing all transactions initiated by your company on a daily basis.
Account Transfer
- Use limits provided for monetary transactions at multiple levels: per transaction, daily, weekly, or monthly limits.
- Review historical and audit reports regularly to confirm transaction activity.
- Utilize available alerts for funds transfer activity.
Below are specific guidelines for FI using Online Banking cash management functionalities
ACH (Automated Clearing House Batches)
- Use pre-notification transactions to verify that account numbers within your ACH payments are correct.
- Use limits for monetary transactions at multiple levels: per transaction, daily, weekly, or monthly limits.
- Review transaction reporting regularly to confirm transaction activity.
- Utilize available alerts for ACH activity.
Administrative Users
- Limit administrative rights on users' workstations to help prevent the inadvertent downloading of malware or other viruses.
- Dedicate and limit the number of computers used to complete online banking transactions; do not allow Internet browsing or e-mail exchange and ensure these computers are equipped with latest versions and patches of both anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
- Delete online user IDs as part of the exit procedure when employees leave your company.
- Assign dual system administrators for online cash management services.
- Use multiple approvals for monetary transactions and require separate entry and approval users.
- Establish transaction dollar limits for employees who initiate and approve online payments such as ACH batches, wire transfers, and account transfers.
Tips to Avoid Phishing, Spyware and Malware
- Do not open e-mail from unknown sources. Be suspicious of e-mails purporting to be from a financial institution, government department, or other agency requesting account information, account verification, or banking access credentials such as usernames, passwords, PIN codes, and similar information. Opening file attachments or clicking on web links in suspicious e-mails could expose your system to malicious code that could hijack your computer.
- Never respond to a suspicious e-mail or click on any hyperlink embedded in a suspicious e-mail. Call the purported source if you are unsure who sent an e-mail.
- If an e-mail claiming to be from your financial organization seems suspicious, checking with your financial organization may be appropriate.
- Install anti-virus and spyware detection software on all computer systems. Free software may not provide protection against the latest threats compared with an industry standard product.
- Update all of your computers regularly with the latest versions and patches of both anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
- Ensure computers are patched regularly, particularly operating system and key application with security patches.
- Install a dedicated, actively managed firewall, especially if using a broadband or dedicated connection to the Internet, such as DSL or cable. A firewall limits the potential for unauthorized access to your network and computers.
- Check your settings and select, at least, a medium level of security for your browsers.
- Clear the browser cache before starting an online banking session in order to eliminate copies of Web pages that have been stored on the hard drive. How the cache is cleared depends on the browser and version you are using. This function is generally found in the browser's preferences menu.

Rooftop fire prompts Franklin Home Depot evacuation
Franklin - The Home Depot, 6489 S. 27th St, was evacuated about 8 p.m. Saturday after a fire broke out in a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning unit on the store's rooftop. There were no reported injuries.
According to Fire Chief Adam Remington, firefighters found the HVAC unit on the west side of the building on 27th Street in flames when they arrived.
"It appears the HVAC was malfunctioning," said Remington, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire quickly died after fire crews shut down electrical service and turned off the gas. It's estimated the fire caused $12,000 in damage.
The Home Depot was open for regularly scheduled store hours the next day.

Oak Creek football team beats Franklin with big plays, 20-12
Old Oak Creek hand Joe Paar was helping in the clean-up following the Knight football team's gritty 20-12 victory over archrival Franklin Friday night when he saw quarterback Steve Stilwell and running back Jamie Smith run off with the coveted "Helmet" trophy the two teams vie for each year.
"That looks good on you fellas!" Paar shouted.
The players said "Thanks coach!" and raced happily to the lockerroom to celebrate not only a rivalry victory, but a win that kept the Knights' hopes of a Southeast Conference title alive.
Oak Creek improved to 2-1 in league play and 4-1 overall while the Sabers fell to 2-1 and 3-2, respectively.
Paar knew exactly how good the trophy looked with Stilwell and Smith carrying it because the pair were responsible for all three of the Knights' first half touchdowns that they rode home to this impressive victory.» Read Full Article

Greendale Village Board shifts opinion, approves funding for Hose Tower completion
Greendale — In a quick, turnaround decision, the Greendale Village Board approved a request for $120,000 to complete the Hose Tower Project during a special meeting Tuesday.
The board initially denied the request, submitted by Trustee James Birmingham, during the September 2 meeting. The request asked the village to allocate $120,000 from the 2014 budget to complete the Hose Tower's meeting room, which will be used as a community center. The board denied that request in a 4-3 vote.
The item returned to the board during Tuesday's special meeting, however, due to requests from both Trustees Ron Barbian and Allan Sikorski. After further discussion related to project funds, the board approved — in a 5-2 vote — to use $120,000 from the village's 2014 contingency budget for complete the Hose Tower Project. Village President John Hermes and Trustee Carl Genz opposed the motion.
More information about this story will be published in an upcoming edition.
United Church of Christ leader to deliver Milwaukee sermon
Emanuel Church, 10627 W. Forest Home Ave., in Hales Corners.The pastoral leader of the United Church of Christ will deliver the sermon on Sept. 28 at
The Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Black, general minister and president of the 1.1 million-member denomination, is scheduled to preach at the 9:30 a.m. service.
Emanuel's senior pastor, the Rev. Bill Utke, said he believes it is a first for Milwaukee since Black was elected in June 2009.
Before assuming the church's top post, Black had served as a pastor, chaplain, seminary lecturer, and minister in what is now the church's Parish Life and Leadership office, a national agency housed at the UCC headquarters in Cleveland.
Ecumenical commitment, concern for equal justice, African-American empowerment, and community improvement have shaped Black's ministry in the church and in the communities in which he has lived, according to his biography at the UCC web site.

Greendale officials to look at TIF option for redeveloping apartment complex
Greendale — Two informational meetings will be held later this month to discuss recommendations by the Community Development Authority for a Tax Incremental Financing District to improve the downtown area.
The CDA recommended a tentative TIF district on August 6 as a way to attract development, including new apartments, for the Canterbury Heights Revitalization Project.
The concept is to redevelop the existing apartment complex and add new, high-end market rate apartments with balconies and fireplaces.
Under a TIF district, the village's investment in the project would be repaid through new tax revenue generated by the development. A TIF would not affect homeowners' tax rate.
A TIF district could help grow the area's tax base and finance other enhancements to the historic downtown area, the CDA has propounded.» Read Full Article

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced they'll distribute fewer wolf hunting and trapping licenses due to a thinner wolf population.
On Thursday, hunters and trappers can enter the lottery for 2,000 early season and 1,300 late season licenses. That's a significant reduction from last year's 3,600 early season and 2,400 late season licenses. Wolf season opens on Saturday, Nov. 9.
Minnesota has the largest wolf population in the lower 48 states, but the DNR's 2013 wolf population survey estimated a 710-wolf reduction from 2,211 wolves last winter compared to 2,921 in the winter of 2008. That 25 percent population drop has the DNR rethinking its numbers.
"The changes are a management response to the most-recent wolf population estimate," said Dan Stark, the DNR's large carnivore specialist. "As with other game species DNR manages, adjustments are made to regulate hunting pressure and harvest to ensure long-term population sustainability and provide hunting and trapping opportunities."
The DNR set the statewide target harvest of wolves at 220, which is 180 fewer than last season. Last year, hunters had no trouble meeting the limit. In fact, the season closed a month early.
"We weren't surprised with the trapping success, but the hunting success was a little bit higher than we expected," Paul Telander, the DNR's wildlife section chief, admitted.
With the harvest halved, the state expects competition for the licenses, which cost $30 for residents and $250 for nonresidents.
About 2,600 wolf pups may have been born this spring, some of which will survive and be counted in next year's population estimate.
According to the DNR, wolf seasons and quotas are set based on long-term sustainability; however, some advocacy groups urged the agency to manage wolves as a prized, high-value fur species by setting the season when the pelts are of highest value. The effort failed this past legislative session because the DNR said it's continued priority is to ensure the long-term survival of Minnesota wolves and resolve the rare conflicts between wolves and humans.
The state's plan calls for a minimum population goal of 1,600 animals, but there are plenty of people who don't want to see any reduction to that point. Some animal rights advocates argue that the DNR's first priority should be to remember that wolves spent 38 years on the endangered species list.
With a population flux after the state's first hunt, the group Howling for Wolves is renewing calls to end the hunt altogether.
"We're just saying, 'Look, we don't need to hunt them,'" Maureen Hackett said. "The population was stable without a hunt. Let's focus on keeping our wolves for future generations."
Yet, wildlife managers contend the hunt is not the main factor in the population decline. Instead, Telander said a drop in their food source is most likely to blame.
"If you look at our deer population across the wolf range, they've declined about 25 percent since 2008," he said. "The wolf population tracks real closely with that deer population."
Howling for Wolves argues that a recreational wolf hunt doesn't help farmers or others in wolf territory because state law already allows people to kill wolves that are perceived as a threat to livestock or pets.
Howling for Wolves also contends that hunting methods, including snaring, baiting, trapping and using the calls of crying pups to lure animals, are inhumane and unethical. They urge anyone who feels opposed to the hunt to contact state lawmakers and Gov. Mark Dayton to keep lawmakers involved on the issue. They also encourage writing letters to editors and local papers to raise awareness.

Friday Night Feature - 'The Giant Mechanical Man'Written by Erin S on 04/10/2013
Friday, July 12 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. – The Giant Mechanical Man (2012) Starring Jenna Fischer, Chris Messina, and Topher Grace; Rated PG-13; 94 minutes. Closed captioned for the hearing impaired.
This is a charming comedic love story between Janice, a woman in her 30's who has yet to learn how to navigate adulthood, and Tim, a devoted artist who finds that his unique talents as a silver-painted street performer don't exactly pay the bills. Evicted from her apartment and forced to move in with her overbearing sister, Janice is on the receiving end of well-intentioned but misguided pressure to date an egotistical self-help guru. Everyone seems to know what's best for Janice, but Tim helps her find her own voice and realize that it only takes one person to make you feel important.

Taking a break from my IPA search today. It is a nice and steamy 90 degree day with high humidity it seemed right to look for a good "summer beer". Many of my Wisconsin friends are huge fans of Leinenkugel Berry Weiss in the summer. I have tried it, it's good, but always seemed to "berry" for me. I am an open minded beer drinker, but must admit that reason I was hesitant to try Shorts The Soft Parade.
Shorts Brewing Company in Bellaire Michigan opened in 2004, and has made quite a name for itself with Michigan beer drinkers. They make one of my favorite IPA'S Huma Lupa Licious (I will have to review that soon). According to the Soft Parade bottle it is a high gravity ale with blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. The Shorts Brewing Company website they call this beer "fruit infused rye ale".
I poured The Soft Parade (AVB 9.00%) from a bottle. The color was hard to describe, dark amber, to almost red. Good head to start, but it didn't stick very long. It had a wonderful smell of raspberries, and strawberry. First taste complex combination of tart fruit, out front were the taste of raspberries at the end. The fruit almost overpowered the beer, almost! I could still taste the rye, and malt of this beer, and it was delicious.
The Soft Parade is a great beer for people who don't really like the taste of beer. This wont ever be my beer of choice, but Soft Parade is a great summer beer. A serve to the masses to introduce non beer lover's to really good beer kind of beer.

The Revered Chefs Mark the World's 50 Best Restaurants Award at London's Town Hall Hotel
Photographer Nick Ballon headed to East London's Town Hall Hotel to capture the collaboration between Viajante's head chef Nuno Mendes and Osteria Francescana's Massimo Bottura in celebration of this year's World's 50 Best Restaurants Award. For his one-off bespoke extravaganza, the Portuguese Mendes partnered up with three-Michelin-starred Italian chef Bottura to create a lavish, eight-course set menu drawing gastronomic inspiration from their childhoods. Highlights included Mendes's "açorda de lagosta" (bread porridge with confit egg yolk and cured lobster) and Bottura's almond granite with capers and Lavazza coffee. "We fused Massimo's Italian roots with my Portuguese heritage," says Mendes, who previously worked the kitchens of New York's Jean Georges and the five-time Best Restaurant winner El Bulli. For the Town Hall Hotel three-night food lab, he also created unique menus with Spain's Quique Dacosta and the Italo-Argentinean Mauro Colagreco, while Sweden's Mathias Dahlgren contributed a supper club in the hotel's expansive De Montfort Suite. Adds Bottura: "It is a great occasion for people who live in different continents to get together and share some time and a meal." NOWNESS stole a few minutes with the busy chefs between their kitchen antics and kick-backs in bed to talk about their restaurant loves and hates.
What's been your best restaurant experience?
Mendes: I have to say the very first time I visited Noma. I went for lunch and everything about it was incredible. It was an outstanding experience and I still remember every dish.
Bottura: My first. When I was 14 I went to a little trattoria in the countryside. The place was called Cantarelli after the name of the owner—Peppino Cantarelli. The place and menu were quite simple, but even back then Cantarelli was talking about the value of territory and preserving traditions like the production of [the cured meat] culatello.
Any hidden gem restaurants?
Mendes: I often go to Rochelle Canteen in Shoreditch. We're lucky here in east London as it's a creative neighborhood with hidden gems everywhere.
Bottura: Elkano, Getaria in Spain. Absolutely the most amazing grilled rombo [brill] I have ever eaten in my life. After that meal, I decided to never serve rombo in my restaurant again. Also, Mirasole in San Giovanni di Persiceto, Bologna, Italy. Chef Franco grills in the middle of the tiny dining room. I drive through fog and rain to get here on a Sunday night with my wife for a beautiful bottle and wholesome, tasty, honest food.
Most outlandish dish you've ever been served?
Mendes: I once ate codfish sperm in Singapore—which was interesting!
Bottura: Offal eaten in a parking lot under the highway in Bangkok with the kitchen crew of The Sukothai Hotel restaurant. There were elephants walking by at midnight, honking cars and motorbikes, and an old woman on the sidewalk who you paid for the food.

Is that poor baby okay now? Ow, her poor little snout!
The article was informative and well written, but I have to ask why are you listing the pic as a Cocker Spaniel? I am sure it was just a mistake but the dog in the pic with this article is not a Cocker Spaniel.
Anonymous~ great catch! Just so you know, there were supposed to be two pictures posted within the blog (which I don't post, I just write :).

Argh....as a zoo employee & educator one of my pet peeves is the incorrect use of poisonous (used at beginning of 2nd paragaph) instead of venomous.
Teresa~ duly noted! And yes, you are correct. To clarify in a nutshell to the general public, all venoms are a poison, however not all poisons are venoms. I try not to split hairs when attempting to get a general point across to the majority of people; otherwise the blog would be written in technical speak that only a medically trained person would understand. So, please forgive my interchangeable phrasing used :).

I think dog owners need to be aware as well that most vet clinics do not carry the anti-venom and here in Las Vegas there is a 2 hour wait for the anti-venom, which means little dogs may stand little chance of survival. I do not expect all vet clinics to carry this life saving medicine, but if we had a few that happen to be nearest popular hiking places our furry friends would get better and faster care. When dogs do not get the venom, they can end up staying for a month in the hospital with a very expensive bill. This makes no sense to me.
Hi Monika~ thank you for taking the time to comment. Just to clarify, antivenom is not needed or mandatory to save the life of a dog. For instance, I am not able to give antivemon to many dogs because of understandable financial reasons of the pet parent. However, it does help them get better quicker, reduces complications, and helps prevent the clotting disorder that can happen in the body. The ideal time frame to give the antivenom is within the first 4-8 hours of envenomation (a 2 hour wait time to get the drug would be fine), and I have still seen it given up to 12 hours later or longer. I have never heard of a dog having to be fully hospitalized for a month following a bite unless some unusual complications happen such as loosing an extensive amount of skin and having a secondary infection on top of that. Thankfully, the vast majority of dogs do excellent and get to go back home :).

One of the best things I ever did for my dogs was put them through rattlesnake aversion class. I know many people have strong feelings about using shock collars, but used properly they can be effective training tools. After the class my dogs avoided all snakes; even my pet boa constrictor, which they had always been curious about. The class teaches the dogs to recognize the snake by sight, smell, and sound. By the end of their training session, which is about 20 minutes (if that)the dogs have learned to give reptiles a wide berth. Well worth the cost. BTW they also train horses and llamas to avoid rattlers.

Hi Anonymous~ I've heard good, neutral and bad results with aversion training but I don't have any personal experience with it to be able to make a knowledgeable comment. Unfortunately, there is such a spectrum of results reported, that without direct experience on my part, it is difficult for me to recommend it one way or the other.

Not only does sucking on the wound do no good, it will destroy your sense of taste for several days. I can tell you from experience that the sensation and effect is almost exactly the same as battery acid.

We have mini Doxies, and our little male was bitten 2x and his daughter was bitten 2x on the muzzle the same day, (most likely by a timber rattler) Both recovered with appropriate Vet treatment. 2 weeks later the little male again got bit twice on the face, and again with quick response and treatment recovered just fine. About 2 months later same little male was bitten again, this time unbeknown to us for a couple of hours, and was found dead.

My 8 year old lab/shorthair dog was bitten on her nose and leg last Monday by a very angry baby diamondback rattlesnake. The dog was treated immediately at a Pet hospital then sent home only to worsen several hours later. She was then treated two more days on IV's and is now home. She is on an antibiotic, benedryl, diuretic, and a steroid 2-3 times per day of each. She still worries me--weight loss, shaking, panting, (she isn't typically a panting dog), lethargic, and just not her hyper, active, jumping, barking self. She has always licked everyone she meets and doesn't even do that. If we let her outside she goes straight to her kennel instead of running and barking up and down our fence like she always has. Is this normal behavior after a bite wound of this nature? It this the drugs? Are the drugs causing or is she having reactions to the venom as to why she pants and shakes a great deal. I am still so worried about her. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

My dog was bitten today, received anti venom and sent home with us later to get IV's and antibiotics(I used to be a nurse) I'V infiltrated but we are going back to vet tomorrow. He responded well to anti venom hope he pulls through still very lethargic but has had Benadryl and has a pain patch on so hopefully sleepy from that. Is it true that if he is bitten again he has a greater chance of dying? He is an American Bulldog and all but impossible to keep out of the woods. Jumps our fence no problem.

I felt I should relate my experience with a rattlesnake biting my dog, if for nothing else than to raise your optimism. 66 hours ago my Belgian Tervuren (shepard) was bitten on the underside of her neck by a rattlesnake. She had startled the snake and the snake made a quick strike and returned to the coiled position hissing and rattling. She seemed more spooked than anything else at first...she moved very slowly and repeatedly try to find somewhere comfortable to lay down. I tended to removing the snake. I remained optimistic and began to learn all I could very quickly about dogs reaction to viper bites....most information was severe and treatment costly....however I also learned of the variables in the types of bites...dry bites, glancing bites and the dogs weight , type of coat, age ,etc that would all factor in to the severity. I remained optimistic. I did not seek veterinary help. I observed my dog for symptoms.... for the first 12 hours the only symptom was drooling....no swelling, no whining...no vomit...no blood...no crying. She did continue to amble and try to be comfortable. The next morning she was more mobile, eating and drinking....but still a little lathargic..."spooked". I felt relieved...the bite must have been a glancing strike or dry bite...maybe a single fang, etc...regardless it did not appear to be severe. However, within the next 12 hours her face and neck had swollen significantly....her jowels were extremely bloated. It took 24 hours for the swelling to begin...regardless of the swelling,.her temperment was much improved...energy level was back....she seemed very much her self. I remained optimistic and still did not seek medical assistance. The following morning the swelling was all but gone...it has been less than 72 hours and she seems to have survived. It was a difficult experience for both of us. I remained optimistic throughout...due to the lack of severe symptoms or discomfort, I risked my dogs life...I gambled. I was fortunate...no she was fortunate.

This article was informative. Saturday, April 19, our 7yr old border collie was bit on the lip after chasing something into a hole, and putting her nose down the hole to scare it out. We thought it was a ground squirrel or scorpion. There was so much blood and she was quivering. Her tongue started to get a blue colored spot in the area of the lip bite, and the internet said that meant "lack of oxygen" so I panicked! We immediately took her to an emergency vet hospital.

Our little Emily was just bitten by what was likely an adolescent timber rattler, as the fang seperation was about 1/2" to 5/8" separation. She is now in the care of our local animal hospital, and has just had a second dose of anti-venom administered. we are hoping she makes it, Emily is only 8 months old and about 9.5 lbs. We are hoping that there is no organ damage, but only time will tell. I Hope we are as fortunate as some of the other bloggers here. God bless and thank you all for the well wishes for emily

How long does the swelling last in the dog? Mine was bitten yesterday had the anti venom treatment and is still swollen 30 hours later... He is fine though and blood tests are all good... just wondering if the swelling takes several days to go down?

Last week we took our Briad to a small fisherman's port in north Mallorca, Spain, he showed fear at one point when I went to touch his face and I saw hehad 3 puncture wounds on his nostril. I thought it might have been from wasps but there were no barbs in them. It was curious because the black skin around the wound had turned white. There was also a fine red circle around each hole. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Our Focus Remains on Research, Education and Support
The Kennedy's Disease Association has worked to educate others about this lesser-known disease and to support clinical research efforts. We distributed information to more than 10,000 neurologists to help them recognize clinical signs and symptoms of Kennedy's Disease.
Will my child be born with this DNA defect?
It takes an enormous amount of money to fund research…more than any of us can afford alone, but together, we are capable of great accomplishments. We are searching for available foundation grants, but the process is lengthy. We need researchers to continue their work, and it is only the KDA that makes funding this disease a priority.
Kennedy's Disease Knows No Boundaries...
It is passed on from generation to generation in families worldwide. Males generally inherit the disease symptoms and females are the carriers. The defect is in the 'X' Chromosome that makes testosterone almost a poison to his body.
What is Kennedy's Disease?
Kennedy's Disease (spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy) is an adult-onset "X" linked inherited disease with symptoms usually beginning to appear between the ages of 30 and 50. However, onset has also been reported as early as in the teens and as late as the 60s.

Four Steps to Effectively Manage Off-Site Workers
As more organizations turn to vendor companies and contractors to streamline costs and productivity, holding face–to–face meetings or walking down the hall to check in with team members is not always an option.
Yet the need for guidance and management is no less—in fact, it is arguably even more important, especially with remote workers. Taking these steps will help ensure your distributed workforce stays motivated and productive.
1. Be inclusive.
Often contractors are brought in at the last minute or are handed specialized parts of a project without being integrated into the larger team. This can lead to confusion about project expectations and company policies, and feelings of isolation. To remedy this:
- Clearly articulate big picture objectives so remote employees understand the importance of their work to the overall success of a project.
- Educate your internal team on the names and roles of remote workers so that meetings and interactions feel cohesive and comfortable.
- Include contractors in meetings via conference calls even if the discussion is not directly focused on their specific piece of the puzzle. This keeps them in the loop about overarching objectives and any changes in scope.
When workers feel supported and understand how their contribution feeds the success of a project, they will go the extra mile for you.
2. Establish open lines of communication.
Clear and frequent communication with your remote team establishes your authority while making you a respected and accessible resource. It also:
- Gives workers a trusted, single point of contact for important information.
- Helps them adapt more quickly to company policies and processes.
- Ensures your remote team understands your expectations throughout the course of the project.
- Makes it easy for you to informally check in on progress.
- Ensures you clearly understand their needs and can be an important advocate for them with your internal team.
Set up a weekly group conference call, and then check in with individual workers several times throughout the week. If workers feel confident in your commitment to their success they will be more invested in their work.
3. Establish clear milestones.
Remote employees need to be able to work independently—and if they are good they will have established a solid work ethic before engaging with your company. That said, you can help them stay self–motivated and hit project milestones by clearly outlining goals and delivery dates, and establishing weekly check–ins where team members report on progress or submit work–to–date. This keeps things moving and promotes individual accountability.
You may also want them to submit written reports on their progress, but keep it to a minimum. Micro–management is counterproductive. You are paying them to do the work, not tell you about the work they are doing.
4. Address conflicts immediately.
Without daily interaction it can be easy to ignore issues or put off addressing them until a later time. But an out of sight out of mind attitude can be devastating to morale and the success of your project.
To set the stage for fewer conflicts and easy resolution:
- Encourage remote workers to come to you with any challenges. Likely you can solve their issue immediately, but by being an accessible sounding board you'll learn of potential problems early on and can resolve them before they have a significant impact.
- Discourage group e-mail discussions about problems. Direct, constructive conversations between individuals affected by an issue will bring about a better, faster solution.
- Know the right forum to address the problem. Sometimes a simple, direct e–mail or phone call can bring an easy resolution. If it's an issue that affects the entire team, wait to address it in your weekly call.
- If it's a performance problem with a specific contractor, speak to them directly either by inviting the employee to an in–office meeting or setting up a phone call.
5. Invest in the right tools for connecting.
You can ease communication and collaboration with—and among—off-site workers by using cost-effective on-premise and cloud solutions based on the following Microsoft technologies.
To search Pinpoint for relevant applications and services, see the Related Links in this article.
The important thing is to help distributed workers know they are an integral part of your team. In helping remote workers feel less remote, you will have more insight into their day–to–day progress while building both trust and accountability. You may also establish some important professional relationships that can serve you in years to come.

Narrow your search
The devices on this page represent the best among their respective categories.
Not only is the Asustor AS-604T an excellent NAS server for serious network storage needs, it's also very easy to use thanks to the extremely well-designed user interface.
If you're in the market for raw speed and lots of storage space, the N4800eco will deliver, but those wanting more should keep looking.
With its friendly pricing, fast performance, and handy personal cloud features, the WD My Cloud EX2 is an ideal network storage device for a small connected home.
The QNAP TS-469 Pro is one of the best four-bay NAS servers on the market and will eventually justify the price you pay for it.
The Netgear is expensive, but earns its $200 asking price with incredibly fast speeds and useful features.
Based entirely on the Pogoplug service, the Buffalo CloudStor Pro NAS server makes a great investment for Pogoplug fans. Its lack of support for general local network features will make others think twice about getting it.
The Synology DiskStation DS1513+ is easily one of the best multiple-bay NAS servers to date, performing superbly both as an advanced storage server and as the central host for a long list of home entertainment and business uses.
Designed to quickly turn external hard drives into a home storage network, the MediaShare Mini could use lots of improvement in regard to ease of use. Savvy users, however, will find it a fun device to have.
The QNAP TS-412 makes a very good NAS server for environments where advanced network storage is needed.

Borderlands PC Getting Steamworks for Achievements [Updated][Update - 6:16PM] A 2K representative has confirmed to Shacknews that Borderlands will implement Steamworks achievments, but will not use any additional Steamworks features. The achievements will only be available in Steam versions of the game.
[Original Story] Though no announcement or update has been made, it seems like Steamworks integration could be added to Borderlands. A list of achievements was spotted in one of our user's Steam library, which Shacknews can confirm. The achievements match the console version's offering.
It is unclear if other Steamworks features will be utilized beyond achievements or if the DRM method for the game's DLC, which currently uses SecuROM, will be changed to Steamworks. It is also unclear if this will affect all copies of Borderlands or just copies purchased through Steam.
Shacknews has asked 2K Games for a clarification on the matter and will update you with any response.
