The Libertines' former frontman, who once dated supermodel Kate Moss, was asked to leave The Cabin – a $12 000-a-month centre in northern Chiang Mai – after three weeks of treatment, for failing to show he is ready to kick his heroin habit, the clinic said on Thursday.
British press reports said Doherty had been thrown out for disruptive behaviour, claims denied by the centre which said he was simply not ready to complete the rehab course and was discharged on Tuesday.
"It is important to maintain the integrity of the treatment programme for the other clients to have a good chance of recovery," said Alastair Mordey, part of The Cabin's counselling team.
"Pete understands this and therefore the reasons behind why we have asked him to leave … Although our parting with Pete is amicable, we are of course disappointed to see him leave. We hope some of the things he has learnt here will help him in the future and look forward to the day when Pete decides to consider recovery again."
Doherty cancelled several high-profile gigs to enter The Cabin's renowned drug addiction courses, which include intensive therapy, meditation and outdoor activities such as white-water rafting.
The famously dishevelled songwriter, who has maintained a wide fan base despite being jailed several times in Britain for drug possession, has tried to kick his longstanding habit on numerous occasions.
In May the hell-raising 33-year-old appeared at the Cannes festival in his first film role – as a debauched young man in 19th-century France. – AFP

A squirrel has been visiting my window regularly - burying his treasure of walnuts in my window boxes. He is fascinating to watch. I've often wondered if the animals really remember where they deposit their food stash. If there is a walnut tree sprouting at my window in the spring, I guess I'll have the answer.
With all of the harbingers of autumn at my window, I've been prompted to continue using a palette of similar colors in my paintings - ocher and gold, red and cadmium orange and with crispy, clear ink outlines. There is no attempt on my side to imitate all that is going on outdoors; it is my personal translation of the September atmosphere. Great stuff!
|Barberry and Rose hips
|Elements - the colors of September
And, of course, the week would not be complete without a bit of good music. My "discovery" is a group called Time for Three. Granted, they have been around for a number of years, but somehow had escaped me until recently. I'm most impressed by their virtuosity and inspired by their musicality. Here is a clip with Joshua Bell as guest artist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8KjJF1R3Fo
Have fun listening!

Boycott the Olympics urges sports group
PUBLISHED: 12:06 07 May 2009 | UPDATED: 16:40 25 August 2010
SHOOTING fans should boycott London s 2012 Olympics because temporary facilities will leave no legacy to the sport, according to a sporting body.
SHOOTING fans should boycott London's 2012 Olympics because temporary facilities will leave no legacy to the sport, according to a sporting body.
The Sportsman's Association wants the gun events to be moved from Woolwich Arsenal to Bisley, in Surrey, which has been the traditional home of shooting for nearly 150 years or its members will not help run the events.
Bisley was originally going to hold the Olympic events but plans were changed when it emerged the facilities needed to be refurbished.
Now a temporary 7,500 seat structure at Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks will host the shooting at a costing between £30 and £42 million, before being dismantled at the end of the Games.
Spokesperson for the Sportsman's Association, Albie Fox, said: "The decision will mean that there will be no legacy for shooting from the Olympic Games.
"We have bent over backwards to facilitate events such as the Commonwealth Games and Olympics. What do we get in return? Nothing except more legislation designed to kill off the sport. That is why we are calling on all shooters, judges, range officers, and volunteers to withhold their support as volunteers to run the shooting events."
The London 2012 website states: "London 2012 will depend on up to 70,000 volunteers to make sure the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games run smoothly and successfully."
Mr Fox said: "Without those volunteers they will need to import the officials necessary to run the events. If we are successful in harnessing the anger currently felt by shooters the Olympic committee will be severely embarrassed and inconvenienced at Woolwich.
"Bisley is 30 minutes from London, will be cheaper to modify to Olympic standards and will leave a lasting legacy for shooting sports. Not using Bisley can only lead us to conclude that someone has deliberately decided to shaft us.".
The Association also wants the British Shooting Sports Council (BSSC) to mobilise all shooting bodies to back their campaign and organise a protest march in London.
A spokeswoman for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games said: "The board ruled out the choice of Bisley because of the cost, operational complexity and risks associated with the proposals that could compromise the reputation of the Games.
"It would be a shame if specialist shooting volunteers chose not to volunteer to help at an iconic venue which will showcase shooting, bring the sport to a new audience, and help deliver an event of which everyone can be proud."

With the UK on the verge of hosting the Rugby World Cup, members of the Guild toured the sport's historic home. Chrissie Walker didn't have far to travel…
Twickenham, like Wembley, is usually known by its address rather than its function. The word 'stadium' rarely gets a mention. That's likely due to its long history and the popular respect for the institution. This the largest stadium in the world devoted just to the sport of Rugby Union and the second largest in the UK after the recently redeveloped home of the FA Cup Final.
Like Wembley's arch, it looms up from a distance. It's been around since 1907 in some form or other and it has become part of local life. I know: I am a local.
Spare your sympathy. These football fans – unlike some others – are civil, funny – and no doubt very 'cheery' by the end of the day – but inoffensive and safe to be around. It seems that Union truly is a game played by gentlemen for gentlemen …well, if one applies that designation rather loosely.
Twickenham offers tours, not just for enthusiastic rugby supporters but also for those are just curious about the building. It's much more than a swathe of lush green, hand-mown grass and 82,000 seats. This is also a hospitality juggernaut, which one wouldn't notice from the vantage point of a cosy TV-match-watching sofa at home, and probably not even from a seat inside the stadium. There is another world under those terraces.
The tour takes in the Royal Box and private hospitality suites with screens for watching the game while never deserting your gin and tonic. There is the President's Suite for VIP visits. There is the Members Lounge and its long bar with a frieze of bottles and sporting heroes of yesteryear, and there is a quiet wood-panelled meeting room that is lined with pictures of past presidents. It has the air of an exclusive club – and that's what it is.
It's the England dressing room that will get the big and little boys (and some girls) dreaming. This space, along with the tunnel, has recently been refurbished in preparation for the World Cup. You see the cubicles, baths, showers and medical area. There is a screen for analysing the game at half time and even a media area for players plugging in. For some, this dressing room is the reason to come, to hear about match day routines and to imagine themselves trotting through the tunnel to the roar of the crowd. For others the sight of the pristine, bright green turf alone may justify of the tour. As part of the tour there is a pitch side walk which may evoke some of the match day butterflies.
The World Rugby Museum offers an overview of the game of rugby from its beginnings to latest developments. It has a pile of priceless memorabilia including the Calcutta Cup, which is a finely worked masterpiece made in India from melted down rupees. And there is a corner where young wanabes can try their athletic skills against machines that will test their strength, speed and agility.
With the centenary of the start of World War recently marked, you learn that, along with players from other countries England internationals lost their lives. They are remembered in a temporary exhibition at the stadium museum and in a poignant painting that few spectators will see. It's of the team just before that war. Some of them have grey badges. They were the young men that didn't return home.
Tours are operated in partnership with The World Rugby Museum. All of the Twickenham Stadium guides are trained by a registered Blue Badge holder, and tours can be tailored to the needs of any particular group.

Summer is treating Paulina Gretzky great.
The Grown Ups 2 star who is enjoying her vacation on the sunny side of the world took to Instagram to share a dazzling bikini picture where she looks super hot.

The 30-year-old actress' legs are covered with white sand whilst her sexy abs and cleavage are exposed in the tiny bikini.
Paulina opted for a bright makeover that matched her bikini and beach vibe as she only rocked a light nude lipstick to complete her face makeover.
As for her hair, the actress kept her short blonde bob tousled hair with loose waves swept from the middle partition free.
"No one likes a shady beach," said Paulina in the caption section followed by an emoji of a coconut and a coconut tree. Impressive!
As a matter of fact, she also let her fans know the location of the beach where she was enjoying her vacation.
Basically, the 'Guns, Girls and Gambling' actor was in the Bahamas.

In addition, Paulina was in the Bahamas with her sons, River Jones Johnson and Tatum Gretzky Johnson as she shared a snap of her son sipping a drink on her Instagram stories.

Paulina shares her two kids with her partner, Dustin Johnson who she got engaged in August 2013. The couple went through a rollercoaster ride just last year in 2018.
The couple decided to split at the time because reports claimed that Dustin committed infidelity with Yassie Safai, a socialite, but the rumors were never verified.
Johnson wrote on Twitter to confirm the breakup news: "Every relationship goes through its ups and downs, but most importantly, we love each other very much and are committed to being a family. Thank you for your love and support."
Paulina even removed all the pictures of Justin from her social media.
The pair eventually got back together at the end of September the same year. Paulina was spotted in the Ryder Cup in Paris to support Dustin who was competing at the Augusta National Golf Club and has been together since then.

Our system
Trackplot is the remote lone worker solution of choice, enabling people who work alone to keep in touch wherever they are. Trackplot's lone worker solution uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to find each lone worker's location and integrate this with a range of devices to transmit messages via communication satellites. A notification system then requires the worker to check-in at pre-approved times with their line manager. If a worker fails to check-in, an alarm is raised with the agreed line manager who then follows the company's internal incident procedure. In case of emergency, the workers can also raise an SOS alarm on their own device.
Do I have lone workers?
A lone worker is someone who works by themselves without a colleague. Lone workers can be found in a wide range of sectors and face many different challenges in the field. It is estimated that 22% of the 31.2m UK working population are lone workers.
Lone workers can be working in fixed establishments, such as working from home, in kiosks or shops, and typically work outside regular hours. They can also be mobile workers who work away from a fixed base, such as forestry workers, land managers and construction workers. You can find more examples of lone worker roles here.
No matter where your lone workers operate, our technology can give them and their manager's assurance that, should they need help, they will be able to raise the alarm.
The law
The Health and Safety Executive stipulates that employers must assess the health and safety risks associated with any activity before the work begins and give special consideration to lone and remote workers. Failure to comply with the law can put employers at risk of £1m+ fines, custodial sentences and, in extreme circumstances, result in staff fatalities.
You need to comply with your legal duties towards any lone workers you have under:
- the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (in the worst case scenarios)
Trackplot's lone worker monitoring solution helps employers comply with the law, avoid prosecution and ensure the safety of their staff.
In the field
From estate management to forestry, our technology is used in a variety of situations to support teams across the country. As well as protecting lone workers, our system helps managers create a robust lone worker system and cater notification cycles to the needs of the business.

Eric Peters greets us wearing a proud "Bates Dad" hat, and says the guys have been looking forward to this. I can only imagine who these "guys" are that are looking forward to having their picture taken. Usually farmers are on the slightly reserved side, shying away from the camera. Well, turns out this crew is quite different. A cast of characters. A band of brothers bonded by their long days and hard work out in the salty air of one of the most beautiful parts of Maine.
As we head down the dirt driveway and out towards the river, we catch a glimpse of the farm crew in action. Jutting out into the Damariscotta River is an island of floating upwellers that includes float space for sorting oysters out in the sunshine. As we approach you can hear the sounds of Eminem coming from a small speaker buried within their gear.
"Is this your pump up music?"
They explain that they are motivated by all kinds of tunes out on the water – on any given day you can hear Beethoven to Eminem to Five Finger Death Punch.
We are out in Edgecomb, ME on the Damariscotta River visiting Norumbega Oysters sea farm. It is early spring, the river is quiet, and only a few farmers and eager fisherman are out pacing the river. Despite Mainers who say it's the worst time to visit Maine, the beautiful sunshine and the sounds of silence tell us otherwise.
Eric Peters (and his wife Nellie) are the growers of this iconic Maine oyster. As Eric leads us out to the water he explains that he is also a carpenter who builds and sells floats. The guys working for Eric are a crew of misfits; Tony and Peter (brothers) and two other guys, both named Chris. They are practically family, Eric explains. Though not technically related (except for the pair of loud and proud Italian brothers) they spend their free time doing things together (group ski trips to Sugarloaf) like they are. Eric has even dedicated time to teaching Tony how to build floats, and in turn, Tony speaks very highly of Eric – he's the best boss he ever had.
"We're a happy group."
They are also a loud group. Tony, in particular (seen below trying to throw their farm manager, Chris, in the water). We happened to stop by on his last day before being deployed to Japan with the navy. His brother, Peter, the quieter brother of the two gives him a hard time about being a field nurse, while Chris laughs to himself and continues to sort. All the while we are chatting with the crew, they don't stop working. Culling, counting, sorting, moving cages of oysters to the upwellers and back. Despite the distraction of conversation, they remain focused.
Eric Peters has build a strong business with his oyster farm, having grown 1.3 million oysters last year, with plans to expand in the coming years. Despite the high volume, though, the product remains top quality. He produces a clean, meaty and overall balanced oyster that is often named as a favorite among New Englanders. But get this…Eric doesn't eat oysters! Some might argue that doesn't make him a "real" oyster farmer, but when you try one of the Norumbegas, there is no denying they still rank among the best. Besides, he's got a crew of guys who are happy to taste the product for him.
The energy of this crew, plus the unbeatable landscape of the Damariscotta River makes it tough to leave this farm. They have a way of making you want to quit your job, throw on a pair of Grundéns, join the team and become a full time Mainer.

Hey there BinB
Transfer is 9.30am tomorrow then I fly back to Cairns in the arvo on my valium cloud. I think the valium is meant to relax the uterus so I guess it's a bit of a substitute for the acupuncture I would normally do B&A transfer which is meant to do much the same thing.
Boobs are huge tonight so I guess the progesterone has kicked in. I know what you mean about jinxing yourself I can only deal with IVF one day at a time and don't look too far ahead. By nature I'm normally an optimist but IVF is different - I expect the worst and anything else is a wonderful bonus. It seems like a really negative frame of mind to be in but I guess it's my way of coping... will do some meditation/visualisation during the TWW to get some good vibes chugging through my sole.
I wish the decision to do day 5 transfer was borne out bravery but after the disappointment of my cycle it was a cold hard financial decision. I didn't have much confidence in my embryos so decided to make them work for it and if they didn't get to day 5 to transfer then it was $$$ towards the next cycle. I put it out there to the universe tonight and had a word to the fert gods for you, me and everyone else going through this.
Thanks so much for your support as well BinB it has really meant a lot to me especially as I'm here in Brissy on my own - DP headed back to Cairns on Monday night as we have our own business and someone has to earn the $$$ to pay for all this.
Take care of yourself, my thoughts are with you and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's update form you….

Hi Girls, - Another cheer from the bench for you both. I wish you both the very best for tomorrow. I am so glad you have each other at a similar stage to share and compare.
Dom, - Good luck for some great blasts to transfer tomorrow. I am much like you in the way I will go for a 5 day transfer next time (if I get that far), I figure that I don't want the angst of the 2ww if they are doomed from the start... Also, I was going to ask what are you if you were going to do acupuncture, so thanks for answering my question. Do you need someone to look after you after transfer with the valium? Or is it just that you shouldn't drive after it?
Hey Blondie, - 7, or 6 sounds good. I hope that tomorrows scan shows some good growth with the smaller ones. i know what you mean about wanting more, but knowing that quality is more important. It would be nice to have both wouldn't it. Thats the hope with all the extra drugs after all. Anyway, I hope one of them has that lucky door prize in it for you. ... Oh, Just for info, we transferred 3 when we got lucky with DS, at doctors recommendations. We will do it again if we have that luxury, again at docs recommendation.
Sleep well tonight girls, big day ahead. Good luck again. and lots of too.

Hey Domiffy girl!!!!!...... to you love and congrat's for making it to transfer day!!! It's ....your embies are safely strapped on board and as I type you are no doubt winging your way home with your precious cargo back to DP to begin the 2ww.....What a relief it must of been for you to get there this morning...unscathed and with no dreaded ph call's etc....and get those little one's into your oven and the lot of you out of there!!!! I understand completely how it feels to fly solo too as I ended up in the same position last cycle when I unexpectedly found myself having a 2-day transfer instead of a 5-day transfer after the p#ss poor results from EPU......the sudden change of plan made it near on impossible for DP to have the day off from work (without causing major drama's), so I decided to go it alone.I hear you on the "valium haze" girl After going through the excruciating pain of my first transfer on Cycle 1 (due to my....as WDA described it..."tight as a fishes a r s e" cervix caused not only because I've never had a child, but also as a result of a small amount of scar tissue that's formed from a cone biopsy I had 16 yrs ago) it was decided from then on that any further transfers would be done "under the influence" of the good old val's and yes, you're spot on, valium does relax the muscles in the uterus (as well as space you out thus causing a welcome distraction from the pain...for me anyhoo)What kind of progesterone support are you on?? Pesseries? injections? or the vile Crinone?? Oh,God...... give me a needle any day rather than the putrid Crinone!!!! Am not looking forward to that!!! I can totally relate to you about the "expect the worst, but hope for the best" frame of mind that you're talking about. I'm exactly the same!!! I'm by nature, normally a positive and pretty optimistic person....but not when it comes to this....and yes love, it's a protection mechanism we've needed to build for ourselves in order to keep our sanity and our strength so that we can pick ourselves up and keep on going and keep on trying or else we'd just fall down in a heap in the middle of the road and not go anywhere!!! Yep, I need to keep my feet firmly on the ground, my eyes wide open and my thoughts limited only to the facts at hand (no flights of fancy allowed here) because I'm walking a tightrope physically, emotionally and spiritually as it is and it's not going to take much to push me over the edge!!!! I agree, it seems negative, but in reality, it's neccessary. We gotta do what we gotta go girl!!!Tote's understand about the financial decision too. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for having a quiet word with the universe for all of us....much appreciated.....been doing much the same......although I've been trying to ration out my "spiritual requests" knowing that I'll be sending a few through the "ESP Post" this week myself!!!!Ok love, it's time to take a deep breath and draw on the last of your inner reserves and steel yourself for the frigging 2ww.....Are you a POAS kind of girl or sweat it out for the BT??? Either way, I can only hope it goes fast for you and before too long (and with a bit of luck) I'll be joining you too (at least for half of it....we can sweat it out together) Here's a jumbo jet full of to get you started!!!! Keep me in the loop girl!!! Will just post a quick reply to Mrs P and then update you both on todays appointment

Hi Mrs P....Hope you're having a good weekend thus far. Thanks for keeping an eye on Domiffy and myself and for your support and kind words You're right about the quality over the quantity and yes, it would be nice to have both wouldn't it??? But when push comes to shove, it's got to be quality any day. It's interesting you say you had 3 transferred when you got your BFP with your darling son......
OK Mrs P and Domiffy... AFM.......My appointment with WDA went well this morning (besides him having a slight issue finding my left ovary...was pushed up in a higher position than normal thanks to my bowel), but anyhoo....got the shock of my life when he found another follicle on my right ovary....What the???.....he seems to think it could also be a "go-er" on Tues...so now the count's at 5 on the right and 3 on the left. When he was measuring my follicles he started "umming" and "aaahing" about moving EPU a day forward to Monday instead. Of course, straight away my "anxiety antenna" comes up and I start feeling uneasy and when that happens I start with the questions...."Are they gonna blow if we wait until Tues?" "No" he replied...."Are they gonna be overcooked?" "No" he said...in the end, I decided to STFU and give the man some thinking space He's decided to leave it until Tues as originally planned
My blood work from yesterdays tests are all good at this moment in time. P4 is 2.6, he said my LH was low and my E2 is 3320. I questioned him about this as I'm a bit worried it's so low, but he says E2 is 500-1000 per egg and that my levels will increase between now and Tues when we do EPU. I asked him if my E2 levels could be distorted because of the Menopur (which I've read that it can be) or because of the Progynova (just thought I'd throw that one in) and he said "No....(am confused about this now as well....) .As you both know, I'm fearful of having the same sh*tty result this cycle with my eggs as I had last cycle and I know that my E2 levels the day before I triggered last cycle were only around 3400 (and I had 9 follicles showing on the scan then too), so if I'm to base possible eggs results from that, I'm screwed!!! Can only hope I'm wrong....
I then went on to make sure he was ok about doing a DET (if all goes well) and he said given my age (am 3 mnths away from turning 40) and the fact we'd already had a few failed cycles, he'd be more than happy to transfer 3!!!!!! DP and I talked about it on the way home and decided that under certain circumstances (such as if we've only got 3 left come transfer day or if we've got more than 3 but the remaining embryo's won't be of good enough quality to freeze which is what happened on Cycle 1 and 2) we'd more than likely go for 3. WDA wants me to go back tomorrow for a final blood test (no scan), then its trigger tomorrow night and EPU Tues...am getting nervous girls (and worried about the E2 levels) Will call WDA's rooms on Monday morning to get tomorrow's blood test results and see where things stand then. Will be interested to get both of your opinions.
Other than that, I'm good, though have felt really, really tired today but am sure that's mostly because of this insomnia issue I've been battling for the last month or so!!! Another crap night's sleep last night...only 5 hrs...but nevertheless, decided to treat myself and go and get my hair done today. Figured my body's full of chemicals anyhoo, so what's the harm in yet another helping!!! Was good to talk with the girls at the salon about anything and everything other than IVF.....was a great distraction and a nice mini break from it all.Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend Mrs P......(and Domiffy)... be back with an update soon

Dom, - Hope all went well, and you are resting up with some happy blasties on board .
BinB, - I agree with your "under certain circumstances" principle.
In sept 2010 we got 5 eggs, 5 embies, 2 transferred fresh at day 2 (both 4 cell, no fragmentation), and 3 frozen. Nov 2010, defrosted all and said we would put back what survived. All 3 did (2 x 6 cell, and 1 went backward to 2 cell) = BFP. The one that lost cells, lost 50%. I've since found out that allot of FS's wouldn't bother to transfer an embie with a 50% cell loss, but what the hay - may as-well since the others are going back anyway.
This year we got 3 eggs, 3 embies, all 4 cells at day 2. 2 no fragmentation, 1 with slight fragmentation. They wanted me to transfer all 3, but I am of the opinion that my body prefers to get pregnant without all the stimming drugs, therefore I want to keep something to freeze because we have a good defrost success rate. So 'I' decided to keep one. They put the 2 best in fresh, and kept the 3rd to day 3 before freezing. It became 8 cells, with no fragmentation . However it lost 3 cells on defrost Doh! (37% loss), of which the embryologist said didn't matter too much. (BFN for both cycles.)
The moral to that long winded story is. I don't really want to transfer more than 2 on a fresh cycle, if I manage to have more than 2 of course. But will happily transfer 3 on a frozen cycle.
I think it sounds like you have it sorted on how many to transfer and why. Go with your gut it's usually right.
02-06-2013 09:34 #47
Hi Mrs P......Thanks for sharing your story and explaining your rationale behind the "2 vs 3" embryo debate I've never had the luxury of having a FET and if past results are anything to go by am not anticipating having any to freeze this time around either........but, yep, DP and I have a strategy worked out and I'll definately go with my gut feeling "if and when"
Hi Domiffy......Am hoping you made it home safe and sound and you're now chillaxing and letting those embies make themselves right at home Look forward to reading your update......Here's some "welcome home" for you too!!!!!
It's CD 10 today.Finally managed to get some decent shut-eye last night......7 hrs!!!! Am feeling much better now. Woke up thinking (remembering morelike) WDA telling me at yesterday's appointment that he wanted me to get blood's done this morning and tomorrow morning (at least I think he did....Oh God, what if I'm only dreaming it??? Going to go anyway).......so will make the journey in one more time.
Whilst I was there this morning having my blood taken, I double checked with the FN about mixing up my trigger shot for tonight (Pregnyl). Because I'm taking a higher dose (same as yours was Domiffy), I've got 2 amps I've got to mix and redraw up into the syringe. I was pretty sure the FN in WDA's office told me on Fri to divide the 1ml of saline between both the amps, dissolve it and then redraw back into the syringe. Just wanted to double check today. Christ know's I don't want to bugger it up!!! Anyhoo......she said that doing it that way was fine, so am feeling reassured for tonight's trigger.
Ok, am off to do the "family thing" today. Hope you're both having a lovely weekend.......

Hi Ladies
BinB that's wonderful news about the surprise follie, 8 is fabulous … Hoorah for a Tuesday pick up and as FS says E2 still has a few days to do its thing so hoping you get a nice rise in levels before trigger – but as WDA also points out the ratio of E2 to follie count is also a bit of individual thing so try not stress too much (ha ha – I should talk!). I also wondered whether the progynova played a part in distorting E2 levels as I've not taken it during stims before and this time my estrogen levels were the best they've ever been - day 5 2736, day 8 6495, day 10 (trigger) 10500 but humph… fat lot of good that did me!
You are in my thoughts and I have so many bits of my body - fingers, toes, legs, arms etc - crossed for us both that I'm finding it tricky to get around.... Take care and enjoy your Sunday ohh.. and here I think you are due for some more of this
AFM I'm PUPO with 2x morulas. Disappointed of course that they hadn't made it to blast by transfer but hoping that the late fertilisation on day 1 means that they are just a few hours behind. Of course, I have been madly googling 'success with 5 day morulas' and there's plenty of positive stories out there. A girl's gotta hope. Transfer went really smoothly but mine are generally pretty trauma free but I've gotta say that Valium does take the edge off any anxiety rather nicely. Unlike with my previous transfers there was no full bladder or ultrasound or half hour lie down afterwards, just straight up off the bed and into the recovery room – so who know what does or doesn't make a difference. I hung around in recovery for a while until the lovely QFG nurse was satisfied I was ok to leave and then she dropped me at the station where I caught the airtrain out the airport and flew home… now safe n sound snuggled up in my comfy bed along with furkids 1 & 2 while DP cooks yummy Sunday brunch of bacon and eggs.
Will try my hardest to keep occupied during the 2 week torture but I don't like my chances as I work from home and can google away the day if I please… I am also a fool for POAS – there's no way I could wait for the blood test as I'd rather be prepared for it emotionally either way. Last time round though I tested from about 5 days after 3dt and had positives all the way through but of course I was on pregnyl boosters the whole time so it was pretty ridiculous thing to do but just can't seem to help myself. I cried like a baby in disbelief when the nurse rang me on Christmas Eve with my positive.
I'm on Crinone in the morning and evening and 1x pessary at night and I know lots of ladies hate them but after reaching a peak of 5 injections a day during stims I'd rather that than more shots any day. I don't generally seem to have too many side affects from the prog apart from the big boobs (and constipation - sorry if TMI) and on the upside I have some sort of hormonally related scalp dermatitis thing that always clears up when I am choc full of progesterone.
MrsP Thanks again for your support and kind thoughts.... BinB and I both appreciate you looking out for us.

Domiffy girl!!!!....
Glad to hear you made it back home to DP safe and sound.....I'd say the late fertilisation is why your two little one's were still at the morula stage. There definately is every chance of success with a morula (despite that not being the case with me after Cycle 2). I remember speaking to "old mate" in the lab at my previous FS's place about the morula I'd had transferred and to cut a long story short, he told me he was just on his way with my previous FS to go onto the ward and see a baby that had just been born who'd started out as a morula at transfer!!! I've also read of many other ladies who've had BFP's from morula's so you've got every chance love......
Yep, I'm a POAS'er too and am also going to be at home for the 2wk torture... (God help me!!!) but because of the Menopur and higher trigger dosage, I have no idea when (if all goes well and I even get that far) to test and get a reliable result???? Will follow your lead girl I do it for the same reason as you....want the heads-up before BT. And yes, the Crinone gives me constipation too....as well as bloating, cottage cheese discharge...blah, blah, blah..And I, too, have been on 5 injections a day, but would rather keep on jabbing then take that vile stuff!!! LOL. Now I'm the one sorry for TMI At the end of the day, I don't think any one thing makes a difference. I've come to the conclusion that if they're gonna stick, they're gonna stick and that's that (disclaimer: unless there is some kind of unknown immune/progesterone etc issue going on....)
As per my E2 levels, have decided to just get over it....what will be, will be though I'll still call WDA's room's for today's and tomorrow's blood test results. Want to keep an eye on all my levels anyhoo. Am still confused about the Menopur and distorted E2 levels thing considering I read about it on the product information pamphlet that came in the box!!!! Whatev's!!!!! Time to let it go and move on methinks!!!
Ok girl, time to go for now.....One more injection of Gonal-F to do then trigger shot later on tonight!!!! Not long to go now!!! Hope you enjoyed your bacon and eggs (brownie points there to DP) Here's some more to see you through until next post

Hi there ladies
BinB, How did trigger go???… I always get DP to do mine as am a bit freaked out by those snap of glass tops.
Thanks for the encouraging morula story, right now I can't get enough of them. I will probably start messing around with POAS later this week after my second pregnyl booster and just before the third one… a bit daft of me I know but I won't be able to resist. TBH I think the only reliable result will come when I have my blood test as I won't actually believe any positive POAS results before then anyway. I spoke too soon about the Crinone… woke up with some lovely cc discharge this morning but not too bad at this stage…
I have to agree about the sticky embies, if it's a quality embryo (with the exception of immune/implantation issues and adequate luteal support) it will stick (I am however eating my 2x kiwi fruit per day – just for luck!). BTW did you take prednisone and clexane in your previous cycles? I am interested to know as even though I don't have any known immune issues I took prednisone for the first time during my December cycle and as you know got lucky. Previous two transfers there wasn't even a hint of implantation. I do have adenomyosis and I have a hunch that the prednisone may have calmed things down on that front.
Anyways my girl you know I will be holding my breath for your EPU update tomorrow. I know you've got a nice haul of stellar eggies in there…. Till then….

So last week, I went out with my dear friend Pei to watch a movie from Cinemalaya, the Indie Film Festival at CCP. We met at the Megamall so I was able to take a glimpse of the Forever 21 store. It was so big and really overwhelming. My eyes were moving so fast making me feel so dizzy. They have so many wonderful things in there. And the price tag was relatively cheap compared to Mango and Zara. I can't wait for them to have a sale. For sure I'll buy the whole store out. ;)
We arrived just a few minutes before the film and we still need to buy tickets. We wanted to watch Sigwa but it was already sold out. We were left with The Leaving. I was happy to find out that my not so hidden crush now, Alwyn Uytingco is the star of the film. He just reminds me of someone so much. ;) Anyway, it was a roller coaster of emotion. Its a romance, horror and suspense film all rolled into one. The film was not good but it was ok.
After watching the film we headed straight to The Collective to Makati for more Artsy experience and some dinner. Since we don't have a car and it was raining really hard, we were drenched in water. But its ok, its part of the experience. The misadventures make it more memorable. Pei and I will be launching a blog soon. Can't wait for it. :)
I wore an Olive des Olive floral dress. I was lazy to shave and I want to be comfortable riding public transportation so I wore leggings underneath.

For any Adventure time fans out there, here is a simple Lumpy Space Princess costume thats decently quick to throw together. I went for slightly less lumpy, a bit more hipster/trendy Space Princess. Using slightly varied shades of purple adds a bit of variety to the look, and don't forget your Yellow star!
I paired a lilac pleated skirt, with a purple top and a light purple short curly wig. I went for a purple eye shadow look and a nice sharp cat eye to really make her sassy. I stuck a decently sized star cut out of poster board onto my wig and pulled out my most sassy, annoyed, lumpy face I could to really pull this look off.

Principal's Message
Hello CMS Families,
During the last few weeks we have had a number of incidents around campus that have required a great deal of adult intervention. While this is not uncommon for middle schools, it did get me thinking about the dichotomy that exists in the development of the middle school mind. On the one hand, our students are growing up and exerting more independence, while on the other hand, they still really need us. The one thing that is a constant in life is change. But why do our children have to change and grow up so fast? And why do they continue to make the same mistakes over and over again?
As adults we know that growing up is both invigorating and difficult. We enjoy the added freedom and choice that comes with getting older but we are not always equipped to deal with the difficult situations life throws at us. This is in part because things are changing so fast. Every development period has its own list of things that must be learned in order to move onto the next developmental stage. There are four major developmental milestones that young teenagers need to reach before they become adults. They are:
- Adolescents slowly begin to move out of the family circle in order to become more independent. This can lead to solitary behavior. It also fuels the need for friendships. Companionship amongst their peers becomes extremely important for adolescents.
- Adolescents begin to look for a place to belong in the world. They look to their friends for protection and a sense of belonging. Developmental psychologists often stress the importance of friendships during adolescence.
- Adolescents begin to form their own identity. They begin to look to their peers to find out what is acceptable or 'cool'. Music, movies, video games, fashion, popular culture, to name a few, become part of their identity.
- While adolescents are learning about themselves, they also become close studies of the people around them. They begin to develop strong opinions about the people in their lives. In addition, as part of forming an identity, an adolescent starts to form ideas around social organizations, political and economic systems, and of course, popular culture. They become the steward of what is cool and what is not.
While everyone experiences growing up differently, but you may recognize many of the behaviors listed above in your own teenager. In addition to the need to become independent, adolescents also have a strong need to belong. This is the dichotomy I mentioned earlier. As parents and educators, we must give our children the room they need to forge their own identities while at the same time continue to nurture and support them - "There are two lasting things we give our children. One is roots and the other is wings." This can be tricky but it is very important.
Next week I intend to write about the difference between fitting in and belonging.

Alabama too special for Texas A&M to handle
COLLEGE STATION — Jimbo Fisher softly and perhaps subconsciously groaned as he stood from the postgame interview table on Saturday, while reaching for a box score from his latest setback at Texas A&M.
By then it was a familiar refrain at Kyle Field, because more than 100,000 fans had spent a good chunk of the previous three hours groaning at the latest Aggie miscue in the top-ranked Crimson Tide's 47-28 victory.
"We've just got to learn to get over that hump — we've got to push through it," Fisher said. "Against good people, you can't almost get there."
The No. 24 Aggies are 3-3 overall with a losing record in SEC play (1-2), but their previous misgivings primarily occurred on offense or defense. This time around it was special teams, with former A&M special teams coach Jeff Banks on the other sideline with Alabama.
"We just couldn't do enough to keep up with their offense," A&M quarterback Kellen Mond said. "I felt like their offense was able to get a lot of good field position based on their returns."
Mond, who had an overall solid game for the Aggies, was right, and plenty of the damage was done by a player the Aggies just missed on early in Fisher's A&M tenure.
Former Houston Episcopal star Jaylen Waddle returned four punts for 128 yards, each time setting up Alabama in enviable field position. In addition, Alabama's Ale Kaho blocked a Braden Mann punt early in the fourth quarter, and Tyrell Shavers coolly scooped up the ball for an easy 2-yard touchdown.
"Those guys on our special teams, they were the ones to kind of mediate the shift of the game," Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said.
Fisher declined to put the blame for the 19-point loss on special teams, although Alabama scored touchdowns on each of the drives following Mann's four punts that weren't blocked.
"We win and lose as a team," Fisher said. "There's nothing that costs us a game, except our whole football team and our coaching staff. We're all in this together. We'll look and evaluate these things, but field position is a big part.
"Those are things we usually do a really good job of, and they actually got the advantage in that part today, no doubt."
Tagovailoa, a leading Heisman Trophy candidate midway through the season, was sharp from the start, firing four touchdown passes — including one to the do-it-all Waddle — while finishing 21 of 34 for 293 yards. He also happened to throw his first interception of the season to go with 27 touchdown passes, when A&M safety Demani Richardson picked him off in the end zone late in the second quarter.
That helped keep the score relatively close at halftime (24-13), and Mond claimed the Aggies "fought the whole entire game" for maybe the first time this season.
"We have a long way to go, but I like where we're at," Mond said.
The Aggies are where most prognosticators picked them to be halfway through the regular season, save perhaps for a 28-20 home loss to Auburn on Sept. 21. A&M was slightly favored in that game, but trailed 21-3 early in the fourth quarter before mounting a mini-comeback.
The Aggies' other two losses were to teams ranked No. 1 at the time, and they failed to score a touchdown at Clemson (now No. 2) until six seconds remained in a 24-10 loss on Sept. 7.
Mond, a junior who started his third game against Alabama, said fighting the entire game this time around meant a decent start, as opposed to failing to score touchdowns in their first three quarters against Clemson and Auburn.
On Saturday's opening drive, the Aggies marched 75 yards on 15 plays, with Mond stretching into the end zone to cap it eight minutes into the game, and before Tagovailoa & Co. had touched the ball.
"Obviously a great win for us," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "This is a tough place to play against a good team."
A&M played Alabama much closer at Kyle two years ago, when Mond was a freshman and Kevin Sumlin was on his way out as coach. The Crimson Tide won that one 27-19, en route to their fifth national championship under Saban.
Saban improved to 18-0 against his former assistants, including 3-0 against Fisher.
The Aggies try and get back on track in SEC play on Saturday at Mississippi.

Syrian Army Continues 'Capital Shield' Operation against Terrorists
- August, 25, 2013 - 14:11
- World news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Syrian army is pushing ahead with a massive operation to dislodge the terrorists from around capital amid mounting pressure by certain western states over the recent chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
The Syrian army announced that it has targeted terrorist strongholds in Jobar, al-Muazmiyeh and al-Sabiniyeh neighborhoods near Damascus.
It also said that Syrian troops have formed strong security zone around the capital after they attacked rebels strongholds in the town of Doma.
The Syrian army has so far managed to take control of over 40% of al-Muazmiyah district and kill more than 30% of the armed terrorists in that region, al-Alam news network reported, quoting a Syrian army official.
The development came as certain western states are exerting pressure on the Syrian government over the recent chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
On Wednesday a gas attack in Damascus suburbs was reported by opposition activists. It allegedly killed anywhere between 'dozens' to '1,300', according to conflicting reports.
Next day the UN inspectors requested access to the site "without delays" in order to investigate the alleged use of chemical weapons in attacks in the country.
The Syrian government said that it was ready to engage in "maximum" cooperation with UN experts, according to Russia's foreign ministry.
The UN investigative team entered the country last Sunday. Three weeks ago an agreement was reached with Syrian President Bashar Assad's government regarding the three different locations that were to be examined by the mission.
Earlier Syrian TV reported that Syrian army soldiers found chemical agents when they entered rebel tunnels in Damascus suburb of Jobar, adding that some of them started suffocating.
Soldiers "entered the terrorists' tunnels and saw chemical agents," state television said.
"In some cases, soldiers started suffocating while entering Jobar," it said.

Hans Werner Henze's "The Bassarids" — a retelling of Euripides's "The Bacchae" with a libretto by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman — will return to the Salzburg Festival next summer, the site of its premiere in 1966, festival officials announced on Wednesday.
Salzburg, one of classical music's most important festivals, will continue to plumb the works of its hometown composer-made-good, Mozart: It will mount a new, reimagined production of "Die Zauberflöte" directed by Lydia Steier that will star the German baritone Matthias Goerne as Sarastro — and feature the actor Bruno Ganz, who played Hitler in "Downfall," in a new speaking role. Constantinos Carydis will conduct the Vienna Philharmonic.
The festival, which will run from July 20 through Aug. 30, will also feature new productions of Tchaikovsky's "Pique Dame" conducted by Mariss Jansons and directed by Hans Neuenfels; Strauss's "Salome" conducted by Franz Welser-Möst and directed by Romeo Castellucci; Monteverdi's "L'incoronazione di Poppea" with William Christie leading Les Arts Florissants and starring Sonya Yoncheva; and a reprise of Rossini's "L'Italiana in Algeri" starring Cecilia Bartoli, which will first be performed in May at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival.
It will be the second Salzburg Festival under the leadership of Markus Hinterhäuser, the pianist and impresario who became its artistic director this year. Next summer a pair of mini-festivals within the festival will explore the music of Galina Ustvolskaja, the Russian composer who died in 2006, and Beat Furrer, the Swiss-born composer.
The festival's house band, the Vienna Philharmonic, will give concerts under the batons of Andris Nelsons, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Riccardo Muti, Herbert Blomstedt and Mr. Welser-Möst. Pianists including Evgeny Kissin, Igor Levit, Grigory Sokolov, Yuja Wang, Maurizio Pollini, András Schiff and Daniil Trifonov will play. Jonas Kaufmann is scheduled to give a lieder recital, Plácido Domingo to sing in a concert performance of Bizet's "Les Pêcheurs de Perles," and Anna Netrebko to sing Verdi and Giordano in concert with her husband, the tenor Yusif Eyvazov.
The intense "The Bassarids" may not be well-known to many operagoers today, and produced something of a crisis in Henze after its premiere, but the Salzburg Festival argues that it is "one of the most important operas of the second half of the 20th century." Its new production, conducted by Kent Nagano and directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski, will restore the intermezzo "The Judgement of Calliope," which has often been cut in subsequent performances of the work.
