Brothers and Sisters,
Again the time has come, the day and the hour, to focus on this sacred land. Today 18 years and three months after the massacre in Acteal we celebrate the commemoration of the martyrs. Only for the love of the creator of the sky and earth, we return today to see each other with all physical, moral, and spiritual presence. It is not easy to forget the cruelest acts in the history of humanity. Although the time and hour has elapsed; the pain and the memory continue present. And each time that occurs a situation of injustice and of violence in any part of the world, we feel hurt, because we are all children of GOD.
A very clear and recent example is the death of compañera, social struggler, Berta Cáceres of Honduras, as a result of a cowardly attack in her residence on March 3, 2016, where compañero Gustavo Castro Soto was injured. It seems that to defend life, the people and nature is a crime. And those in charge of administering justice seem to better support and reward the great crimes against humanity, than to punish them. Our world is upside down, with the laws and the authorities protecting the criminals and prosecuting the citizens that struggle for justice.
Our political constitution is expired because the president of the republic continues making reforms that do not benefit the Mexican people. They only benefit the rich and foreign companies. And the Mexican people whose rights they violate only receive crumbs and repression.
Our previous constitution was well established; it reflected individual and social rights like the right of the campesinxs to the land, because that constitution was made with the sacrifice of our grandfathers that gave their lives and blood during the Mexican revolution. We are very sorry that the rulers never have in their hand the history of our country. They do not know the meaning of our national flag, or which rights are enshrined in our constitution. Those rulers have completely trampled and forgotten; they never take into account the people that gave their life for it.
All of those that rise up to defend and protest for their rights are met with the same response from the government: repression, assassination and imprisonment. A clear example of this is the young students of Ayotzinapa that were disappeared. The families of these young people have continued a year and a half demanding justice and for the return of their children alive, but the authorities do no want to heed the cry of the people.
Ultimately, the reason is that they will not judge and condemn their own actions; that is very clear, it is the same that occurred here in Acteal: they continue misrepresenting the facts of what happened December 22, 1997, because they themselves designed and planned the counterinsurgency, they financed and trained the paramilitaries. And also they dictated the freedom to the assassins although they already were sentenced and confessed to these cruel events in Acteal.
Perhaps the rulers do not think of the direction that leads to justice and the direction that our country takes. Today the people are tired and very desperate because there is no justice and because there is no peace in our country. We are an organization always proclaiming the truth and at the same time, denouncing the violent acts in our country because our mission and our commitment is to work in favor of peace. Love one another as the Pope has taught us, and thanks to the prophets that announced the truth and denounced all mortal sins that carry us to destruction.
Today we also thank the Indigenous Father Marcelo Pérez of the Tzotzil region committed to the struggle for life of the people of Simojovel threatened by much violence, by the trafficking of drugs, by alcoholism, prostitution, the trafficking of arms and of the buying of consciousness so that they abandon this dignified struggle.
We, as authentic bees of Acteal assume the struggle for life of the people that we all desire, not only in Simojovel but in many parts of the world, we stand in solidarity with all of those who suffer and struggle for another possible world.
Brothers and sister, we unite to carry out a peaceful struggle because violence does not bring life. We hope to march together until peace triumphs.
Justice for the case of Acteal
No more massacres in Chiapas and in Mexico
Stop the impunity in Chiapas and Mexico
No more privatization of natural resources
No more massacres and persecutions against the people
Justice in the case of Berta Cáceres
Lone life Resistance and Autonomy

It's amazing to me what things get passed from generation to generation. James' Randad played this game with his kids and Jeremy has played it with James since he was itty bitty. James has just learned to roll away on his own when Jeremy gets to three and it's so cute. Thanks, Err (Randad) for always playing with your children.

Bucket of Blood was the name of a character and one-off story featured during the hiatus that occurred in the Red Star over New York storyline. Essentially a filler issue due to creative strife on the magazine, the story is considered by many fans to be a "dream issue" and thus not officially a part of WatchmeX continuity. Despite this, Bucket of Blood offers tantalizing glimpses into the previously unexplored background of key characters and ties together several storylines as well as foreshadowing the Squid Invasion arc.
Main Story Edit
In a brief pause from the action, an exhausted Adrian Veidt, now President of the United States takes an impromptu leave of absence and returns to the previously abandoned Karnak to reflect on his past. While there he discovers a mysterious series of objects, left by persons unknown. Among the objects are a single ball of hashish, a tattered Tales of the Black Freighter comic book and a bottle of Nostalgia perfume filled with a strange blue substance.
Taking a leap of faith and eager for new knowledge, Veidt eats the drug, drinks the liquid and begins to read the comic. He soon begins to hallucinate, seeing himself amidst the pages of the book (critics christened this unique experiment "breaking the fifth wall") and engaging in conversation with one of the characters within.
The character, formerly known simply as The Mariner, now calling himself Bucket of Blood and acting as captain of the Black Freighter attempts to explain to Veidt through a series of non sequiturs the existence of parallel worlds and true dimensional travel. The horrors of this earth, where the Black Freighter and its crew have obliterated the entire planet are made apparent as they sail on through the comic but Veidt dismisses the analogy and claims that only his genius and skill have saved the WatchmeX earth and only he can continue to keep it in check. When it's revealed the blue liquid he had drunk was actually the semen of Dr. Manhattan, Veidt laughs and proclaims Osterman's rebirth as the second coming of Christ.
In response, the Captain offers Veidt a glimpse of his future and the sea around the ship begins to reveal hundreds upon hundreds of Manhattan's Xexius alien squid, foreshadowing a future storyline. Revolted, Veidt makes his escape but because of the unique properties of Manhattan's love yoghurt, as Veidt ends the hallucination and leaves the Black Freighter earth, the Mariner is seen to follow him. When Veidt recovers and wakes fully however, Bucket of Blood is nowhere to be seen, leading the character and readers to wonder if the event happened at all.
Mentally shaken by what he has seen, Veidt begins to prepare a series of contingency plans both for the eventual return of Dr Manhattan and for a possible Squid Invasion.
This was the second time the Tales of the Black Freighter made an appearance within WatchmeX, the first being at the conclusion of the Dr. Blackhattan storyline. Though no mention of that character is made during Veidt's trip several theories exist that it was Blackhattan himself who prompted Veidt to undergo the procedure.

The US military replaced its Humvees in Afghanistan and Iraq, with heavier, better armored vehicles because of the threat from roadside bombs. But that approach may not work In a high-tech conflict, argues manufacturer AM General. You might want to go back to the Humvee. Why? Because it's simpler. There are no electronic engine controls, no electronic braking, no circuitry that a sophisticated enemy could hack with malware, scramble with directed microwaves, or fry with the electromagnetic pulse from an atomic bomb or other source.
Two years after losing the contract for the next-gen, high-tech Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), AM General is doubling down on the Humvee and making a virtue of its simplicity. Sure, the company has upgraded the vehicle since its introduction back in 1984 with more powerful engines, tougher transmissions, and stronger frames. That increased the maximum weight of a fully-loaded Humvee from 9,000 lbs to 14,000 lbs now, dramatically increasing capacity for cargo, weapons, and armor – even as reliability has increased four-fold.
AM General's "Keep It Simple, Stupid" strategy seems to be working. Last August, the Army awarded the company a $1.6 billion contract to buy Humvees for Afghanistan. This September, the Army awarded a $2.2 billion contract for "Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Jordan, Slovenia, Bahrain, Columbia, Bosnia and Kenya," of which $550 million is already on order. The US Army has even restarted buying new Humvees for its own use, mainly in the National Guard, as well as overhauling and upgrading the more than 100,000 Humvees already in service.

A notoriously haunted nearly century old ship has held many different roles throughout its lifetime: luxury cruise liner, war ship, and epic Halloween event venue. Unfortunately, all of those are now history, as this year's Dark Harbor falls short of reliving the grandeur we so desperately miss.
The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor is a separately ticketed event that runs twenty-three select nights between September 28, 2017 and November 1, 2017, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday as well as the last Wednesday of October and Halloween night itself. In its 27th year, Dark Harbor features an expanded seven different haunted houses – one of which is brand new for 2017 and the first time a total of four have been located on-board the ship herself, as well as a park-wide scare zone, rotating live bands and entertainment shows, a 4D theater show as well one carnival ride with a very interesting history – Sinister Swings, formerly the Wave Swinger from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch.
Haunts which return unchanged from the previous year will be duplicated from our 2016 review.
During WWII when The Queen Mary was in service as a troop transport ship, an enlisted military man serving in the ship's kitchen quickly moved up in the ranks to become a highly decorated Chef. Unbeknownst to the soldiers traveling aboard, Chef had a dark side. Quietly he would sedate a few solders at a time and collect them in the middle of the night to prep them for his latest dishes. Eventually caught, the Chef was thrown into one of his own ovens and cooked alive. Ever-faithful to Chef, his dutiful kitchen staff sacrificed themselves to become his evil henchmen, burning themselves in the same oven. Chef and his evil crew went into hiding aboard the ship for many years. Largely forgotten these long-time stowaways aboard the ship have resurfaced to resume their deadly duties by collecting new victims for some of Chef's latest recipes. Are you ready to be served?
Feast was, without a doubt the one thing we were most excited to see at this year's Dark Harbor event. Traditionally, mazes aboard the ship itself are always the most compelling, greatly enhanced by a naturally creepy setting to bring to life the dark storyworlds crafted by each of the event's icon characters.
Unfortunately Feast, more than ever before for an "on-ship" maze fell drastically short.
Scenically, Feast felt like a "bare minimum" approach – with moderate set dressing connected by long sections of nothingness. This made for a very uneventful feel – something not at all what we have come to expect from "on-ship" mazes of prior years. Unfortunately, as we would soon learn, this would become a theme that would carry across even the return mazes this year.
Unique to The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor event, Feast includes a crawling tunnel (appropriately through what is meant to be an oven.) Unfortunately, it doesn't at all scenically read as an oven once inside – but more an air duct – and worse, it completely lacks any form of padding making it a bit uncomfortable on the knees.
The flaws of Feast – and what would become the trend for this year's event as a whole, did not fall on the scareactors. They still remain as engaged and interactive as ever – and truly do put their highest effort into creating a memorable experience for Dark Harbor's guests. Unfortunately in the cast of Feast, there's only so much they can do given the tools they have to work with.
From an originality perspective, Feast felt more like The Queen Mary simply going through the paces rather than an attempt to truly raise the bar with their brand new haunt. Needless to say, this was one dinner that left us wanting more.
Do you dare go back to where it all began? Meet the mastermind, the creator and now the protector of the Queen Mary. The Iron Master has returned to reclaim the precious vessel he built, fiercely guarding it from the antics of the freaks and ghouls. Follow his maddening journey… if you dare step aboard.
One thing Dark Harbor understands exceedingly well is the value of an event icon character – and the new maze every subsequent season becomes that character's foreboding permanent home. Intrepid belongs to the Iron Master, creator of The Queen Mary, and who apparently has an entirely disjointed mind.
So – the convoluted backstory centers around this spot being the location where the Queen Mary was originally constructed, beginning in 1930. Nothing about that is clear in its execution. Instead, this maze – albeit a significant improvement, redesigned from the ground up over last year's original take feels bizarrely disjointed – and at no point has anything to do with the creation of the ship.
This year, Dark Harbor started over with Intrepid – a maze which was a total fail in its opening year. Is it better? Yes, it is, for sure. But is it good? Well, that depends.
For some reason that I'm still unable to process, the first act takes place aboard a passenger train. Scenically it's an extended and improved approach at the attempt they made last year, and for that, we're appreciative. From there, we exit the train and find ourselves in a plague-ridden village that feels much more like what was probably left standing from the event's prior Voodoo-themed haunt which went unused last year.
That's not to say that some of the scenes don't look good – because they surely do – but they also surely make absolutely no storyworld sense for where we're supposed to be.
As is always the case at Dark Harbor, the actors do their best to live their roles – a fact that does enhance the overall muddled feel of Intrepid. Most memorable for us were moments traveling through the passenger cars of the train, with a monster waiting at the dead end for us, forcing us to walk toward him. The Queen Mary has always understood the impact of the psychological scare – the sort of "he's going to do something, he's going to do something, HE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHI….. he didn't do anything!" We find that to be far more disturbing than a cliché boo-scare any day.
Unfortunately beyond these moments, it's difficult to find a specific scare that stands out in Intrepid thanks not to its actors, but in full due to its completely disjointed lack of storyline.
Intrepid was a major disappointment in 2016 – and at that time we were hopeful that it might receive a complete redesign for its second year. We're thankful that it did, and while there's no question that it was improved (bringing it from a 1 Key haunt to a 3 Keys haunt) we remain hopeful that this may have only been step 1, with step 2 left to address the massive story flaws next year.
Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of nightmares. The Lullaby maze takes the visitor on a spine-tingling trip through the story of little Scary Mary. Gone, but certainly not forgotten, Mary is looking for playmates to join her on the other side of hell. Will you succumb to the youngster's pranks and tricks, or will you escape with your soul intact?
I think it's probably a scientific fact that when you add cute children and toys to something scary, it just transforms it into the purest form of nightmares. Lullaby embraces this fact and uses it to its advantage to create the most frightening maze of Dark Harbor.
This is the story of Scary Mary, the little girl ghost who drown aboard the Queen Mary decades ago – yet who never left. She just wants a friend. To keep. Forever.
Last year, we quipped "Tucked away in the bowels of 80 year old notoriously haunted ship, Lullaby would intimidate even the bravest souls of your group – even without any scenic decor added." I feel as though The Queen Mary took that statement as a dare.
For some reason, a long-time returning maze – one who already had all of its set pieces and props in existence, was completely watered down (no pun intended) to have large, empty sections with little to nothing going on in between them. And worse, the believable real-world set dressing took a bizarre turn towards a Six Flags-style haunted toy room. What resulted took what was formerly our single favorite maze of The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor – and dumbed it down for seemingly no good reason.
Lullaby only maintains a 3 Key score (formerly 5 Keys) because of the sections of the ship it exists within, and even that was lessened from prior years. The path feels shorter, and notably, the most memorable moment passing through the infamously haunted indoor pool was omitted entirely.
Lullaby's scares continue to benefit from its narrow passageways, which are so dark that it's easy for scareactors to hide in plain site right in front of you. The authentic setting will unnerve you on its own, and some great scenic and atmospheric effects truly immerse you into the storyworld.
Dark Harbor's cast has long proven they understand how to truly interact with guests in their haunts – and Lullaby is always one of the best examples of that. The cast also does a phenomenal job of embodying their characters. Each portrays their role with a darkly sinister childlike whimsy. They're all dead kids, and they just want to play with you. At least to start. It creates an incredibly creepy mood that just cannot be matched.
Deadrise is a WWII escort ship that helped guide The Grey Ghost through enemy-infested waters. After a fatal crash during one of their dangerous voyages, Deadrise sank to the bottom and has been resting in her watery grave in the depths of the sea ever since. The wreckage of Deadrise has once again been called into service by the star of Dark Harbor, The Captain, to escort him and his armada of ghosts and monsters into a battle against the living to reclaim Dark Harbor.
If there were an award for "Most Improved Returning Maze," Deadrise would be a shoe-in to receive it this year. Consistently our least favorite year after year since its debut, Deadrise resurfaced in 2017 with a much more story-driven approach, new scenic and decor and greatly improved sets, as well as a new custom soundtrack that added an appropriately militaristic flavor to its Grey Ghost backstory.
Beyond the somewhat cool returning entry statement with the sunken warship facade, the remainder of Deadrise felt almost unrecognizable to us. Formerly not much more than a series of large, empty metal shipping containers, Deadrise's interior scenes are now fully dressed to resemble areas of a military ship, including crews' quarters and the mess hall .
Deadrise saw enough improvement that we've, much to our own surprise, gone from always wishing for a replacement the next year to actually appreciating it as a stand-alone addition to the Dark Harbor line-up.
There's nothing ground-breaking in the way of scares in Deadrise. A fairly decent sized cast, but each interaction essentially equates to simple boo scares. Even with the improved set dressing, there's still not much for the cast to utilize beyond jumping out and screaming in your face.
Being a fully outdoor haunt. Deadrise also makes use of a fireball and water cannon effect – the latter of which has been amp'ed up to to blast out an utterly offensive amount of water that will leave you completely drenched from head to toe. There's just no need for that on a cool fall evening after the sun has long since set – and even with our newfound appreciation of Deadrise, we'll continue to not endorse a haunt that willingly drenches its guests.
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and experience the world's most horrifying circus! Face your greatest fears as you wander through a terrifying tent of terror. Disorienting illusions, maniacal magic acts, and a cadre of sideshow freaks are certain to shock, stun, and startle even the bravest of souls.
Another year, another Circus. And while we don't mean that as a negative point (we're big fans of Circus-themed haunts) it remains unquestionably the most thematically out of place maze at Dark Harbor – an event where everything connects back to the lore of the legendary Queen Mary ship herself.
Circus is home to former icon character, The Ringmaster – because, you know, luxury cruise liner.
In past years, Circus was scenically one of the best haunts to be found at Dark Harbor. Unfortunately, this year it has (again) been completely reinvented nearly from top to bottom, this time not for the better. What once was a maze full of compelling, twisted sets sadly now feels like a transplant from Six Flags Fright Fest.
This year's Circus comes across as being very downgraded in scale and quality from its original roots – a statement we actually made last year as well, just to illustrate the point that there has been a consistent decline in its quality. I was very disappointed to find that this year's Circus ultimately felt like the "budget version" of a once truly fantastic haunt.
Circus' brand new, stark white finale this year offers an interesting approach that we can only assume is meant to imply the proverbial "walking into the light" that supposedly accompanies death. It was so bright and so full of fog that it was actually unnerving to continue moving forward through it. A cool gimmick that definitely added something unique, but unfortunately we fail to see how this connects in any way to a circus tent.
As with all mazes at Dark Harbor – one constant saving grace is that you can always count on an energetic, engaged cast of scareactors. The sinister clowns in Circus bring their wacky characters to life, playing psychological games with guests trying to find their way out. What results is a delightful balance of fear and comic relief that feels entirely appropriate given the thematic setting.
There's also a few notable moments straight out of a carnival fun house like moving slider plates on the floor – something not commonly found in a haunt.
What would drive a man to madness and murder? That's the question B340 attempts to answer as we take a schizophrenic sojourn into the psychotic mind of Samuel the Savage. Tight spaces, darkness mixed with flashing lights, and pulse-pounding noises would drive anyone to the brink of insanity. Beware the wrath of violence of Samuel the Savage and be careful not to lose your head or your mind!
B340 dives in to what might happen if someone had a psychotic breakdown on one of The Queen Mary's trans-Atlantic crossings. Trapped at sea for days on end with no where to run can do number on the mind – not to mention the innocent victims in his path. Each step of your journey through Samuel's world becomes more twisted, more demented and more bloody.
B340 returns, for the most part, entirely untouched from past years.
Some epic scenic moments await in B340 – but honestly they are more because of the actual physical layout of the ship than any decor that's been added for Dark Harbor. As with Lullaby, B340 includes many narrow passageways and steep staircases, a whole lot of dark hallways and an infinite number of hiding places for Samuel the Savage and the sinister figments of his imagination.
Your journey begins in the mind of Samuel – quite literally. You navigate the claustrophobic passages through the tissue of his actual brain (for some reason) in a moment that doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense in the context of the maze, yet still creates an unsettling mood.
From there, you see Samuel descend into madness, from his childhood classroom all the way up to his cabin on the ship, full of the blood all those who crossed his path.
The cast throughout B340 proved as always to be completely engaged in their roles and dedicated to bringing their characters to life. They were aggressive, angry and disturbed – which in this case are all good things.
Again, the layout of the ship and the inherently supernatural feeling of your surrounds only serves to significantly amplify the sense of intimidation this maze creates, making B340 always one of the more memorable experiences at Dark Harbor.
Gale has been haunting Dark Harbor looking for a soul mate since her mysterious disappearance. A meandering maze of mystery, Soulmate is where Graceful Gale lures potential suitors with her charm. Beware of her minions, whose job it is to chop up her suitors and reassemble them into the perfect man. Once you've been smitten by Graceful Gale, there is no escaping…even after death!
Add a little jealous vengeance over a long-lost love into the mix of a supernatural tale and you're sure to end up with a hair-raising experience. There's something so haunting, so intriguing about Graceful Gale. She's beautiful, yet clearly dangerous. You know she means you harm, yet your still instinctively drawn closer to her.
This is the demented tale of a desperate lover so determined to find the perfect mate that she's willing to create one with pieces of her past loves – and that story flows through clearly and chillingly from the moment you enter Soulmate.
Soulmate returns similar to its flow from last year – which, unfortunately, is the lesser version of what was once a haunt worthy of 5 Keys.
This maze is an interesting mixture of elegance and gory brutality. Scenes depict The Queen Mary in her hayday, the outfits Gale plans to wear to that evenings big Masquerade where she holes to find her Soulmate, and the terrifying seamstress rooms where she's been sewing together her perfect mate, regardless of the fact that the body's she's taking those pieces from happen to still be alive and screaming for your help.
Scenically, I'd be remiss to not mention one bizarre omission; The story of Soulmate builds to that masquerade party – and in its prior years, that was the grand scale finale of this haunt. As was also the case last year, however, as part of the maze's re-configuring, that masquerade party scene was cut entirely. What results is a story that builds to… nothing, with the scene that is in simple fact the entire purpose of this story now completely nonexistent.
As with Lullaby and B340, Soulmate greatly benefits from an inherently creepy atmosphere aboard the ship itself even before the show itself begins. Great effort is made with additional set dressings that only bring it to another level – but it's the cast of Soulmate that really bring this experience to life.
Truly embodying their roles – these scareactors bring their characters to life – or death, as it were – in the most believable of fashions. Without a doubt, this creates an effective, chilling mood for an already solidly spooky story.
The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor differs greatly from the big theme park events in that it doesn't have Scare Zones, per say. Instead, the entirety of this event, from the moment you enter to the moment you exit its gates is in play. There's no safe spot. Monsters can – and will – get you anywhere.
It creates a delightfully chaotic mood that truly stands on its own and remains memorable year after year. The street performers are highly energetic – running, diving, sliding and coming at you from all angles, completely out of no where. In short, expect "all hell breaks loose."
It should be noted that there is no real theme or decor to the park-wide Scare Zone, beyond lighting and fog – but the energy of the cast still creates a scenario where it works better than most other venues could ever dream of.
The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor had long been a stand-out for quality decor, making for a stellar haunt experience in the Southern California market. Unfortunately, much like the glory days of the ship itself, it seems, at least for the 2017 season, that those days may be behind us.
Although there were some noteworthy improvements made to the events previously worst offerings – Deadrise and Intrepid – it's the inexplicable lowering in quality of long-time standard bearers like Lullaby, Soulmate and Circus that left us scratching our heads. Surely it cannot be a matter of budget, as the props and decor already existed. Were they damaged during last year's run? Was this a cost-cutting measure to lessen install times?
Whatever the case, this much is true – we have been long-time believers in The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor, but our 2017 visit left us wanting not just more, but more of how the quality always had been in prior years. And while we still enjoyed our visit and made the most out of it, there's just no question that this years event does not measure up to the standards The Queen Mary has set for itself year after year prior.

Update: Dec.8, 2015
As of yesterday, http://montrealandroidtv.com repository is down until further notice. I suggest using http://srp.nu as a replacement and naming it SuperRepo.
From within SuperRepo you will still be able to locate genesis for unlimited movies and pre-recorded tv shows, Sports Devil will be easily found within aswell, and add the repo for Dexter TV as listed in my "Extras Section" to add the best free Live TV package.

I had a few ideas when doing this just because I have so many funny pictures of friends and of myself that could be added into another picture to be funny. I was going through my pictures on my computer and came across this one from this past July 4th.
Immediately when I saw it I thought, rock concert, so I found a picture of a crowd at a rock concert, and turned it into this.
As I mentioned in my first blog post about myself, I love going to concerts, so I thought this was fitting. Plus, who wouldn't want to be at a rock concert head banging to some sick music!?
I do need to work on my "photoshop" skills because I think this picture would've been even better if we blended in more and weren't cutting people off, but I am just getting used to learning how to put photos on other photos and in time will get better!

Yesterday, I turned my back on someone I've known for many years. As I haven't seen them for a long time, and am unlikely to meet with them again, it was as simple as removing them from my social media accounts. Unfortunately, this met with the assumption that I'm intimidated by strong women, because this person chose to identify herself as being a strong woman.
I learned, a long time ago, that there are times when the best reaction is no reaction. It's simple enough to say, but difficult in practice. If we take this most recent example, it is said that I am unable to hold my ground against a strong woman, implying that I am, therefore, a weak man. What actually happened is that I was exercising a right that is rarely given much thought.
A disturbing trend I have noticed in modern times is the tendency to ignore, deliberately misunderstand or misrepresent a point that has been made, in order to "win" an argument. In their eagerness to avoid being wrong, some will just pretend that anything which contradicts their views does not exist, no matter how reasonably it is presented. As a result, there is an inability to understand, and empathise with, the views of others.
The right to free speech is often quoted. Yes, in theory, you can be as outspoken, and even downright offensive as you choose to be. In these days of political correctness, it is unlikely that any of us will not, at some point, say something which offends someone. I will not take away anyone's right to express themselves as they see fit, but I would urge those exercising their right to free speech to consider the rights of others, and that is where most seem to go wrong. You have the right to cause offence, but that goes hand in hand with the right of others to be offended and to respond in an appropriate manner.
There was a time when I had to deal with a large amount of abuse. The stated purpose of my role was to support those in distress, by phone, face to face contact and email. The anonymity, and confidential nature, of the service provided a means for individuals to talk about their problems and, unfortunately, for those who wished to verbally abuse and hurt someone to do so with the protection of anonymity. For a time, I reasoned that something had led to these people needing to be abusive, and they were in need of help too, so I chose to be patient. Sometimes, it paid off, and I discovered that, as I thought, the behaviour was fuelled by a deep despair. There was always a cut off point, however, a point where I had to accept that a caller would just continue with the abuse, and the call must be ended. Put simply, there was a point where I had to stop listening.
It makes sense for me to apply the same rules to friendship. If we accept one of the principles of Zen, that it is better to avoid contention, and add in my own interpretation that sometimes the best reaction is not to react, then it stands to reason that there is a point where a friendship may come to an end. One of the many unfortunate things about social media is that we can't just walk away. When we reach the point where our attempts to resolve an issue, or issues, are continuously being ignored, when what we say is wilfully misunderstood, what do we do? Do we reason that we have nothing productive to say? Do we start thinking that maybe we don't deserve a listening ear? Does it cross our minds that we might be fundamentally flawed in how we deal with others, and ultimately it is our fault that we are misunderstood? Believe me, I've been through all of that.
If we seek to limit our suffering, to preserve our inner peace, there is a point where we must stop listening. To my mind, continuing a conversation where one party is no longer listening is an exercise in futility. It's upsetting that someone who knew me for a number of years chose to label me as weak, but it's a further sign that walking away was the correct thing to do.
Edit: I question the use of the term "strong woman". There are women all over the world who face sexual abuse, violence and other abuses of their human rights on a daily basis, in countries where gender equality is but a distant hope. They carry on, and some have the courage to fight against the way of things. These are strong women. Elsewhere, I look at the way the word "bitch" has been appropriated as a badge of honour, even though it essentially means the same thing it has always meant - a spiteful or unpleasant woman - and I have to say that maybe we took a wrong turn somewhere. Since when has being unpleasant and spiteful been seen as a desirable trait? Is "winning" at all costs, no matter who may be hurt, what it takes to be a strong woman? I question the value of such a victory. Sun Tzu states, in The Art of War, that it is better to achieve victory without bloodshed or, to translate it into more general terms, it is better to bring someone around to our point of view without causing lasting damage to our relationship with them.

Outdoor Dining Spots in the Neighborhoods
The George Gershwin lyric "summertime and the living is easy" is all the more enticing during summer, especially when livin' is particularly easy and fun in figuring out where to indulge at delectable outdoor dining hotspots within the neighborhoods. Whether for spontaneous afternoon nibbles on sumptuous salads or finger foods beside the canals or planned evenings out, there are outdoor dining hotspots "on the menu" Your NewsMag discovered that might be worth a visit.
Nawlin's patio in Freeport for southern cooking and jambalaya
Open since Memorial Day, the newest member in the south Merrick neighborhood along the Merrick Bay corridor that could soon come to rival Freeport's Nautical Mile, SALT impresses with its open air dining layout that overlooks Merrick Bay as it impresses with its choice of tasty seafood dishes that fit its outdoor dining ambience.
Diners can spend an hour indoors at the bar unwinding indoors from an afternoon of work, shopping or plowing in the garden by imbibing in a selection top-shelf cocktails s before being seated at an outside table, warm breezes continuing the mood. Local musicians play favorite songs four nights a week as revelers can partake in several already popular house dishes to please the palate.
SALT, for Sea And Land Together, offers several best-selling signature dishes such as Fish Tacos and Red Snapper that will 'jump" off the plate. There is also a northern take on southern Chicken with Waffles, as well as a host of other dishes.
Red Snapper is pan-seared in a spicy dry rub and placed atop a risotto cake. The fish is delicate and flaky – if slightly crusted on the outside, and the risotto – which has come with crab cakes in the past, so ask for them – warm and easy. Fish tacos, of which there are three, are made of cod in a buttery beer batter with a hint of sweetness, are flaky, wrapped in soft tacos and topped with cabbage and tomato drizzled with a chipotle mayo drizzle. A section of lime is included for adding extra zest to the meal.
Cara Mia Due in Seaford has a romantic outdoor dining spot in the alleyway
They can also be ordered on the brunch menu, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m.
Chicken with waffles are pieces of lightly fried chicken strips over a Belgian waffle that includes a mildly spicy honey sauce for dipping the chicken and pouring over the waffle. These are also available in the brunch menu.
For broccoli lovers, one distinctive appetizer that will wake the palate is Broccoli and Burrata, charred crunchy stalks of broccoli that are transformed with the smooth creamy taste of burrata cheese mixed throughout. Calamari rings are crispy on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. They come with either a marinara or Thai sauce, at the diner's request.
When dining out and hoping to be seated outdoors, diners may wish to take a look at their surroundings to see how the restaurant approaches the outdoor dining experience. Ivan Sayles, proprietor of the new Nawlin's restaurant in Freeport – as well as owner of Rachel's – remarked that diners have several reasons for requesting outdoor dining, from the fresh air to the openness of the environment – to even people gazing.
At Nawlin's he gives diners two choices for outdoor dining: close to music, and separate from music. Being close to the music involves being closer to the bar bands that will play, and the bar. The restaurant's other outdoor dining deck overlooks the Freeport canal, and is quiet, offering opportunities to view cormorants and other birds in the water or flying, or to witness the moon reflecting off the water, within a more romantic setting.
Nawlin's is an authentic slice of New Orleans gastronomy, offering jambalayas and po' boys, chowders with crawfish, and a variety of seafoods such blackened redfish. The restaurant serves up beignets, and features the signature Hurricane cocktail.
The White Whale in Seaford celebrates 25 years this year, with cozy intimate outdoor seating
At Rachel's, there is an area of the restaurant for outdoor seating that can double as an enclosure to protect against weather elements if the weather suddenly changes. Glass doors atop the enclosure simply slide open in good weather, and slide shut during rainy weather.
The Clubhouse, at the intersection of the Bellmore Canal and Club House Canal – at the tip of Clubhouse Road in Bellmore –is a restaurant that wants to be an easy-living dining hotspot away from home.
Offering lunch, dinner and late-night snacks in an open-yet-cozy setting with cool breezes coming off the canals, The Clubhouse is a dream come true for former Merokian Lenny Zross. He purchased the building six years ago but had to endure the destruction from both Hurricanes Irene and Sandy before finally being able to open the restaurant last year.
Diners can come by boat for casual dining because there are 15 dockside slips for docking boats. The open air space is particularly useful for fun with the family, as games such as bean bag throws are front-and-center on the oversize deck while diners revel in spacious dining arrangements within the restaurant.
Plenty of seafood and Mexican appetizers, soups, salads, burgers, pastas and seafood entries make up an enticing menu from a new chef.
For Sergio DeCiantis, owner of Cara Mia Due in Seaford, many people love to sit outside in his outdoor section because of the ambience, such as the paintings on the wall and the music played. Indeed, Cara Mia Due's outdoor section is an enclosed area between two buildings that exudes the charm of an old-world Italian eatery.
Offering fine traditional specialties from recipes his grandmother created, diners have a choice in summer of where to dine to indulge in classic creations such as lasagna, eggplant rollatini, flounder francese and Shrimp monachino – among many entrees and appetizers.
25th ANNIVERSARY
The While Whale In Seaford Is celebrating its 25th anniversary and provides plenty of cozy outdoor dining for a leisurely evening out to rake advantage of the surrounding water views. Henrietta Hoppl comes from a long line of restaurant owners, as her father was Carl Hoppl, well-known restaurateur on Long Island who owned several restaurants.
She explained to Your NewMag that she believes in customer service and only serving the quality of food that she herself would eat.
Seafood is the star feature of The White Whale. Try the Mussels Bianco in a fresh garlic white wine sauce for an appetizer, the Alaskan King Crab Legs and New York Sirloin combo for main course or our fresh live lobsters prepared anyway you like it.
White Whale serves continental cuisine with daily blackboard specials, and is open seven days a week. You can come by land or sea, high tide for large boats. There is a private party room for catering for all occasions
Carol Schmertzler Siegel wrote on a facebook page that "Anchor Down has a really nice outdoor patio and we loved the shrimp tacos and crab dip. It's a great neighborhood place, besides convenient, and it's cozy and delicious. We have never been disappointed."
Christine Bucca Cacioppo wrote on a facebook page that "We like Rachel's. Inside or out, there's a nice canal view and the food is very good. We also like Pier 95 for the same reasons."
She added that Villa D'Aqua in Bellmore has an outdoor patio and serves delicious food as well.

Please note that Mommsen uses the AUC chronology (Ab Urbe Condita), i.e. from the founding of the City of Rome. You can use this reference table to have the B.C. dates
From: The History of Rome, by Theodor Mommsen
Translated with the sanction of the author by William Purdie Dickson
Page 37
Thus it was once more clearly demonstrated, that the sovereign burgess assemblies, with their shortsighted resolutions dependent often on mere accident, were no longer at all fitted to deal with the complicated and difficult relations into which Rome was drawn by her victories; and that their mischievous intervention in the working of the state machine led to dangerous modifications of the measures which in a military point of were necessary, and to the still more dangerous course of treating the Latin allies as inferiors.
The Roman League
The position of Philip was very disadvantageous. The eastern states, which ought to have acted in unison against all interference of Rome and probably under other circumstances would have so acted, had been mainly by Philip's fault so incensed at each other, that they were not inclined to hinder, or were inclined even to promote, the Roman invasion. Asia, the natural and most important ally of Philip, had been neglected by him, and was moreover prevented at first from active interference by being entangled in the quarrel with Egypt and the Syrian war.

Rorate Caeli has succeeded in having the story of the persecution of the Friars of the Immaculate, go here to read all about it, go viral, the story having been picked up by the Associated Press:
Below you will find a story from the Associated Press following our report on the breathtaking crackdown on the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate (FI) by order of Pope Francis. Good reporting from AP's Nicole Winfield ensures this story is told to a world-wide audience and that, God willing, relief for the order will come soon.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis may have been named Time magazine's Person of the Year, but he has come under scathing criticism from a growing number of traditionalist Catholics for cracking down on a religious order that celebrates the old Latin Mass. The case has become a flashpoint in the ideological tug-of-war going on in the Catholic Church over Francis' revolutionary agenda, which has thrilled progressives and alarmed some conservatives.
The matter concerns the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, a small but growing order of several hundred priests, seminarians and nuns that was founded in Italy in 1990 as an offshoot of the larger Franciscan order of the pope's namesake, St. Francis of Assisi.
Then-Pope Benedict XVI launched an investigation into the congregation after five of its priests complained that the order was taking on an overly traditionalist bent, with the old Latin Mass being celebrated more and more at the expense of the liturgy in the vernacular.
While the order was in turmoil, the dispute at its core comes down to differing interpretations of the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council, which include the use of local languages in Mass that some considered a break with the church's tradition.
Benedict, a great admirer of the pre-Vatican II Mass, had relaxed restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass in 2007.
The Vatican in July named the Rev. Fidenzio Volpi, a Franciscan Capuchin friar, as a special commissioner to run the order with a mandate to quell the dissent that had erupted over the liturgy, improve unity within its ranks and get a handle on its finances. In the same decree appointing Volpi, Francis forbade the friars from celebrating the old Latin Mass unless they got special permission, a clear rollback from Benedict's 2007 decision.
In the weeks that followed, four tradition-minded Italian intellectuals wrote to the Vatican accusing it of violating Benedict's 2007 edict by restricting the Latin Mass for the friars, saying the Holy See was imposing "unjust discrimination" against those who celebrate the ancient rite.
Volpi though was undeterred: He sent their founder, the Rev. Stefano Maria Manelli, to live in a religious home while he set about turning the order around [Rorate note: Fr. Manelli is basically on house arrest, not even permitted to speak to his family or friends].
And on Dec. 8, he took action, issuing a series of sanctions in the name of the pope that have stunned observers for their seeming severity: He closed the friars' seminary and sent its students to other religious universities in Rome. He suspended the activities of the friars' lay movement. He suspended ordinations of new priests for a year and required future priests to formally accept the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and its new liturgy or be kicked out. And he decreed that current priests must commit themselves in writing to following the existing mission of the order.
In a letter detailing the new measures, Volpi accused friars loyal to Manelli of seeking to undermine him and even accusing some of embezzlement. He denounced a cult of personality that has grown around Manelli, saying it "reveals a great spiritual poverty and psychological dependence that is incompatible with" the life in a religious community.
The sanctions seem harsh when compared to recent actions taken by the Vatican against other much larger religious orders or groups found to have doctrinal or other problems, such as the Holy See's crackdown on social justice-minded American nuns or the Vatican's reform efforts of the disgraced Legion of Christ. In both cases, a papal envoy was named to rewrite constitutions or statutes and oversee reforms, but Volpi's actions with the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate would appear to go much further.
Traditionalists have charged that a double standard is at play, with a conservative, tradition-minded order being targeted for particular sanction on ideological grounds by a pope with a progressive bent.

Apple Crumble with a treat
Hello! What wild weeks I had, from dislocating my finger and having 2 fracture lines on my bone, having a massive bad tummy and then having subungual hematoma aka runner's toe (i always had it but never knew what it was called and blamed it on my clumsy self) on BOTH my big toes which is making it so hard for me to walk and move around *insert depressed face*
So of course, food is the only thing that can cheer anyone up! ;) sad, angry, poor or sick, people still turns to food. Everyday, I constantly read up on new recipes and pin on my favourite food found in cafe/restaurants that I would love to reimprovise them and make a receipe of my own. Home-bakes always taste different and somehow, I really love that homely taste.
Thanks to Cels, she had this brilliant idea for this treat.
So dessert of the week:
Apple Crumble
Under these beautiful crumbs....
Are apples, sprinkled with cinnamon, a hint of lemon and cooked to soften + moist the apples to produce sweetness to the core of the cup. Some recipes would recommend Granny Smith's green apple but #2brokegirlskitchen used red apples and it worked perfectly well!
Just when I was about to dig my fork into the cup, my dearest partner suggested to me, what is complete without a wholesome scoop of vanilla ice cream? And it had to be Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Mmmmmm yes.
Try it yourself! :)
Basic crumble topping
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Combine apple, lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until apples are just tender. Transfer to a 6cm-deep, 6 cup-capacity ovenproof dish.
- Step 2Make basic crumble topping: Using your fingertips, rub ingredients together in a bowl until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Step 3Sprinkle over apple. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Serve with cream, custard or ice-cream.
Let me know how it goes!

Hyperglycemia can enhance thrombogenicity The more that HbA1c levels are reduced, the greater the reduction in thrombus formation, according to a double-blind study involving an insulin sensitizer in patients with type 2 diabetes.
All 40 patients studied, who had elevated HbA10 values (>7.5%) despite dietary modification and treatment with insulin or sulfonylurea, or both, were randomized to receive a placebo or troglitazone (800 mglday) for 3 months, during which their previous regimen was continued.
Studies at baseline and at 3 months included thrombogenicity assessment using a recently developed ex vivo perfusion chamber that allows histologic measurement of thrombus formation over porcine sortie tunica media; the effect of clinically significant glycemic control (defined as HbA1ç reduction of 0.5% or more) on thrombogenicity was measured as the change in the area of the thrombus at baseline and at 3 months.
Patients in both the trogiftazone (74%) and placebo (46%) groups frequently experienced significant glycemic control, which in turn was the only independent variable associated with significant thrombus reduction. Patients who had no glycemic improvement showed no change in thrornbogenicity. However, the possibility that troglitazone had an antithrombotlc effect In addition to glucose lowering cannot be excluded by this study design.
The investigators noted that their findings contrast with those of previous groups, who had failed to find a link between Improved glycemic control and reduced hypercoagulability in patients with diabetes. They suggested that techniques previously used (such as in vitro platelet aggregation and measurement of plasma proteins) cannot accurately assess hypercoagulability. Rather, they argued that the perfusion chamber technique makes such measurements possible by mimicking the high-shear conditions present in a mildly stenotic coronary artery
The findings support the hypothesis that hyperglycemia can enhance thrombogenicity (perhaps by accelerating the formation of advanced glycosalated end products), and conversely that giycemlc control can inhiblt thrombogenicity. More broadly, they lend credence to the view that the hypercoaguuuulable state should be added to the list of risk factors for thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes.

After yesterday morning's doldrums I'm pleased to report that this morning there's now a breeze sending the sailing boats my way!!!!
First in this morning is Nikki who says"-

Lobsters in Bloom 16" x 20" Layered Paper Collage
I finished this Lobsters in Bloom collage, except for the varnish and wiring on the back. The lobsters are inspired by some fabric lobster ornaments I used to make in my quilting days. The paper is hand-stamped (using stamps I carved myself) and collaged onto a 16 in x 20 in x 3/4 in (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm x 1.9 cm) canvas. The sides are wrapped, so no frame in necessary. I will be putting this up in my shop within a few days.
In what ways are you adding creativity into your day today?
Ways you can support my art: tell a friend about it, click the "LIKE" button on my facebook page, "pin" a post on Pinterest, purchase greeting cards from my Fine Art America shop, and make one of my art originals your own.
Three of my collages are also available for sale at River Arts gallery in Damariscotta, ME and are a part of their juried "Flowers" Exhibition until May 19.

Well, it's that time of the week again. These pictures are of a sunset somewhere off the coast of Mexico. They are more sky photos from my vacation. I think I spent more time taking sky pictures than I did taking pictures of my trip!!! Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful Skywatch Friday. Please be sure to go to Skywatch Friday for some more great photos from all over.

text: So I'm in the search of new phone & leaning towards the prepaid route.Anyway after looking at several companies websites what is up with the complete lack of Talking Heads ringtones? Visited at&t & all they have is a football stadium musical version of Burning Down The House. Verizon? Plenty of Talking Heads ringback tones but not a single ringtone.It seems if the artist isn't a current,hot artist then a ringtone for them can't be found.

Putting a face to the nameWritten by admin on January 7, 2009 – 2:38 pm -
Macworld 09 kicked off in San Francisco today with Philip Schiller giving the Keynote. One of the features announced for iPhoto 09 is the inclusion of face detection which allows you to sort your photos by identifying people in your photos and the software will automatically scan your photo library suggesting other possible photos of that person you've just named.
Soon we'll be able to search the internet for people not only by text but by facial features as well. Scary or not, I'll leave that up to you.
** iPhoto is part of the iLife suite of applications that runs on Mac OS 10.5. It's included in every new Mac free of charge.

After writing daily emails for 9 months, it seems it should get easier.
It hasn't. I still get stuck on what to write about.
In those moments, I watch this video.
The combination of the extraordinary skill and passion for their art inspires me every time.
Knowing that they are distilling hours of daily practice every day over the course of decades into just a few minutes for our pleasure. That I only see the end result and none of the sweat and labor behind it. I am privy to be taken to the summit of their mountain without having to actually scale it.
It reminds me to keep writing every day even if it doesn't always flow as easily as I would like it.
Probably because I'm comparing myself to copywriting masters who have honed their own craft over many years. Because they've done their own work, they can pump out emails in a matter of minutes while I struggle sometimes for hours. One day, I hope the words will just pour out of me. But I have to keep practicing with my own daily writing.
It's a proficiency I'm building and I have to put in the effort to get good at it.
Just as writing daily emails is a habit that is to be built slowly over time with consistent effort, optimizing fertility is also a skill set that many need to learn.
You might disagree. Cuz it's something that we're born with - the ability to reproduce.
True dat.
But just cuz we have the biological capacity doesn't mean it will be realized. (Kinda like we all have the ability to play an instrument reasonably well.) And a lot of life circumstances can decrease your ability to have a child, especially as you get older.
Stuff like stress, crummy nutrition, lack of movement, poor self-image, weak relationships with yourself and others.
The emotional and physical baggage we accumulate as adults often hinders fertility potential.
So it becomes incumbent on you to learn the skills of optimal health which you then need the discipline to practice in order to get pregnant.
You got this.
Does someone you care about have trouble getting pregnant? Please forward this and have her sign up for my daily emails at zenfertility.com/top10.

Assistant Dean for Admissions Toby Stock: Don't be afraid to take risks.
Professor Elizabeth Warren: The only serious professional mistake you can make when you leave Harvard is to settle for work that you don't love. Don't stop looking until you find work that makes you want to jump out of bed and get started every morning.
Professor Jonathan Zittrain: No advice, except to have a wonderful summer and fulfilling work beyond — within or without the law, wherever genuine interest leads.
Professor Richard Fallon: You've spent your whole lives training to have the career that you really want to have. Now your career starts–and make sure, from the first day, that it is the career you really want to have. If you go on making it your ambition to "keep doors open," you run the risk–far greater than the risk of letting any single door slam shut–that you'll never actually get to do work that you find attractive, rewarding, or desirable for its own sake.
Dean Elena Kagan: Thanks to the students of HLS for making this year so terrific. Here's to a picture-perfect graduation day for 3Ls/LLMs and a wonderful summer for all.
Mark Weber, Assistant Dean for Career Services: Learn as much as you can and know that you and/or your interests may change over time. Be adaptable to change and enjoy the incredible journey that you are about to begin. Finally, always remember your family, friends and all the people that have helped you along the way. \Wishing you all the very best.

Rhythmus is inspired by an old rhythm machine. There are ten buttons available, each button can play two different rhythm sections so essentially there are about 20 different rhythmic loops offered, such as samba, mambo, tango, waltz, rumba etc.
Even if Mamba, Rumba or Tango have not much to do with industrial music the mixture of the sounds in the kits have a coherence which is the reason of the nice blending.
At the end this plug-in is good for adding a bit of groove to some heavy kickdrums.
Surprisingly, it's been developed with Synthedit!

Clomiphene. That's my new protocol.
The trouble is that I've heard a few horror stories about what it's like to be on clomid. Well, I'm gonna find out myself now, and between you and me, I'm a bit excited. Another tactic. Another chance to produce better eggs.
I start the clomid three days after my next period begins. I'll know more once I've spoken to the nurses on day one. And believe me, I'll be getting as much information about this new protocol as I can from them so I can type it here.
It feels like I have new hope.
5 Responses to "Clomid"
There's nothing like a brand new sparkly plan to rekindle the passion! I'm so glad you're excited and I hope with all my heart it works for you! I'm on your old protocol now – wasting a month on the pill. ho hum…
I hope all's well in the zoo and your fur babies are getting used to eachother.
Oooh! Exciting! Something new. Worth trying. I had an okay cycle on clomid, and some RE's get really good response with it with us "of a certain age" gals. Good luck with this! Only useful thing about clomid I can offer is that the side effects were kind of unexpected for me. I never had the bad mood swings that some folks have on it, and that's good, but boy-howdy did I get hot flashes at night about two weeks AFTER I stopped taking it. OMG talk about hot. I think my husband damned near fell out of the bed trying to get away from me I was so hot. Hot and sweaty. Went on for about 1.5 to 2 weeks, then went away. Not too bad to put up with, just had to change the sheets a lot. The other thing that happened that was very bizarre was (and I know this is TMI but I'm throwing it out there anyway in case you have it happen so you don't freak out) that it caused some discharge from my nipples. Just a little bit, but definitely a couple of drops every day. It was clearish, and my doctor said nothing to worry about. It also cleared right up after I got another period. It was a very weird though because I didn't know that could be a side effect. So, there ya go! Way too much information, but I always like to know what's potentially out there. Hate surprises with this IVF gig. Best to you!
I am glad you are feeling hopeful once again. It is hard. I started to bleed today the day before my blood test…I just feel numb it was such a horrible cycle…god knows whats next for me.. I am scared that they will tell me there is not much hope left. I did however get my best results yet last cycle with Clomid..two embies survived to be transfered but I got a chem preg but still it was my best, and I would try it again given the chance. You have delivered more eggs then me even on your other cycles…so fingers crossed. I will ring melb ivf in the morning to tell them that I will get the blood test done near work and that I also have my period and see what they say next ?>?????? Scary sad stuff but at least a start of a new cycle brings new hope!!PS i had no side effects from clomid..and have taken it on its own years ago too with out any too..but then I don't seem to react to the drugs much at all being on 450gonal f injections each day without much movement in the ovary stations! Fingers crossed for you, its exciting.
I've done Clomid and I loved it! No side effects but a ton of energy. I think I was unusual but it isn't always bad. I think different protocol could mean different outcome and that has got to be good.
I'm starting IVF #4 now. With a very strange protocol, I'm just hoping that it also equals different outcome.
How is the kitten and the collie relationship going? I got my ragdoll about a month ago and she is adorable! My 7yo border collie doesn't really know what to make of her!
I've only used Clomid as a stand alone ovulation induction drug but I have heard great things about adding it into an IVF cycle. Wishing you the same luck! The worst side effect for me would have been hot flushes – uncomfortable but manageable.
