TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Photos from remote cameras show a rare male jaguar roaming the Santa Rita Mountains in Southern Arizona.
The Arizona Daily Star reports the cameras have photographed the big cat in five locations on seven occasions since October. The pictures were provided to the Star this week by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
Federally financed remote cameras photographed the jaguar west of the proposed Rosemont Mine site in the mountains southeast of Tucson.
It's the only jaguar known to live in the United States since the 15-year-old known as Macho B died in Arizona in 2009.
The photographs come as federal wildlife officials consider designating more than 1,300 square miles in New Mexico and Arizona as critical habitat for the jaguar.

Hi everyone! I havent been on the boards in quite sometime...I am now expecting my 2nd in August and am so nervous about developing preeclampsia again.
I am seeing a practice of midwifes and drs currently. Do you all think I should try and switch to a high risk? I orginally tried to make an appt. but was told I needed a referral to do so. So far I am satisified with my experiences but I'm just not too sure. Last time with my daughter I had military drs so it was horrible to say the least. I just dont want a repeat.

For the Patterson Irrigator
The quiet rolling hills of Diablo Grande located just outside of Patterson were transformed into an obstacle course that grappled with those found on a military training base during the weekend of Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13.
Yells of "Urah! Urah! Urah!" bounced off the walls and rolled down the valley as contestants lined up in their gear for a well-worked afternoon; it was a sure sign that Tough Mudder was back for its second year, and participants were ready to excel.
More than 14,000 people swarmed over the hills to complete the course made up of 23 obstacles that would test the participants to their very core while forming friendships and creating bonds with strangers alike.
The participants were broken up into groups of around 300 people to accommodate the crowd.
The first launch began at 8 a.m., and the others followed suit in 20 minute intervals. The starting gate was just behind a vertical wall that most people needed help over just to get to the starting area. Thus, from the very beginning, the fellowship and camaraderie began before the course even opened.
This was not a race, after all. As covered by the "Mudders" oath in a pledge made before each group headed out onto the course: "I understand that this is not a race but a challenge! I will overcome all fear! I will help my fellow mudders complete the course! Look at that mudder on your left! Look at that mudder on your right! No one is left behind!"
And that was, indeed, the way it seemed to go as the day wore on.
People came through the end of the obstacle course in waves with the vast majority of the pre-formed groups intact, helping each other in strength and spirit.
There were groups such as "Captain Crunch and The Cereal Killers", "The Mudussy Group" that local Pattersonite Frank Bautista had helped put together, "Mud Rats" and "Dorks in Shorts."
Although teamwork was heavily encouraged, a few individuals decided to take on the challenge themselves, including two sisters that were from Minnesota and a single man from Turlock named Armando Blanco.
Blanco came to be regarded as a well-known man due to his heroic actions and undetermined enthusiasm. He was always seen carrying a large U.S. flag with the names of four of his fallen fellow soldiers written on attached ribbons throughout the entire event, only handing it off to someone to hold until he cleared an obstacle and then immediately took it back.
Once he reached the final station, an electrified mud pit known as "Electroshock Therapy," had nearly stumped him. The eclectic shocks had brought him to his knees, but the shouts of "USA! USA! USA!" from spectators and mudders alike pulled him back up on his feet as he stumbled through the last 20 yards.
That was the way it was and why it was created. Again, this was not a race and no times were kept or winners announced. If someone had come on their own, they were immediately pulled into a group, creating friendships and bonds that cemented this shared experience.
There was help displayed time and time again at obstacles such as the "Ladder to Hell," which looked to be at least 100-feet tall.
There were many people that could not have done it alone but made it over with help with strength and words of encouragement from other Mudders.

Time with God - Oct. 25, 2011
How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever; who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous; the LORD protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, but He thwarts the way of the wicked. The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
How blessed we are to have such an amazing God working on our behalf!
When you are in trouble and things are going wrong, remember who your help is; turn to Him. When you are discouraged and paralyzed with fear or loneliness or hurt, remember who your hope is; turn to Him.
Read these powerful words again and see how God is reminding you of who He is, what His nature is like. If you align your life to Him, if you build your life around your relationship with Him, if you make His purposes your own, then you will experience all the goodness that He is waiting to pour out on you. He will become your "help" and your "hope."

Travel back in time to Colonial Boston with THIEFTAKER, THIEVES' QUARRY, and now A PLUNDER OF SOULS, D.B. Jackson's critically acclaimed historical urban fantasies!
A Plunder of Souls, the third volume in the Thieftaker Chronicles, has just been released by Tor Books in hardcover, ebook, and audio formats and is now available for purchase!! Publisher's Weekly has called this newest installment an "engaging third entry in Jackson's Thieftaker series [that] ably mashes up the historical with the fantastic." And it calls Jackson "an increasingly reliable tour guide to America's colonial past." (You can find more reviews here.) Like the first two books, A Plunder of Souls sports wonderful art work from Chris McGrath -- you can see the image in larger format here.
Thieves' Quarry, book II of D.B. Jackson's Thieftaker Chronicles (Tor Books), has just been released in paperback! It is also available in hardcover, audiobook, and all e-book formats. It was named one of 2013's best fantasy/science fiction books by SciFi Chick.com and Fantastical Imaginations.
And, for those of you who just can't get enough of Ethan, Sephira and the others, a new Thieftaker short story, "The Price of Doing Business," was published at Tor.com in February 2014.
Meet D.B. Jackson!
You can meet the author either in person, or virtually! He has recently updated his appearance schedule for 2014 to include his Plunder of Souls summer of 2014 signing tour! And he has posted his Blog Tour schedule to this site as well. Dates will no doubt be added to both schedules, so check back on this site for additional appearances.
Thieftaker, book I of the Thieftaker Chronicles, the novel that started it all, is available in hardcover, mass market paperback, e-format, and audio format. In addition to many fine reviews, Thieftaker was named "Best First Book in a Series" for 2012 (one of two books so honored) by The Word Nerds, and was listed as one of the best SF/Fantasy books of the year by SciFiChick.com and by Fantastical Imaginations! So, if you haven't read it yet, there are no more excuses!
D.B. Jackson, the pen name of an established, award-winning author, brings a fresh voice to genre fiction. Specializing in historical fantasy, D.B. is the author of the Thieftaker Chronicles, published by Tor Books. The first book in this new series, Thieftaker, was released in 2012 to much critical acclaim. It went into a second printing in about six weeks, and has been made into an audio book by Audible.com. It is an urban fantasy set in pre-Revolutionary Boston. Volume two in the series, Thieves' Quarry, which has also been reviewed exceptionally well, is available now in hardcover, paperback, ebook and audio formats. A Plunder of Souls has just been released in hardcover, ebook, and audio formats, and, like its prequels, has been very well received. And at least one more Thieftaker book is currently in the works. Dead Man's Reach will be released in the summer of 2015.
D.B. is also the author of "The Tavern Fire," a short story that appears in After Hours: Tales from the Ur-Bar, edited by Joshua Palmatier and Patricia Bray. After Hours is published by DAW and includes fifteen tales of fantasy, history, and intrigue. And now you can read "The Tavern Fire" here, on this site! While you're at it, you can also read another Thieftaker short story, "The Witch of Dedham," which is only available on this site, or you can listen to a reading of the story by D.B. Jackon himself.
D.B. has written two other Thieftaker stories, as well. "A Spell of Vengeance" was the feature story for the week of June 13, 2012 on Tor.com, and "A Memory of Freedom" was the feature story in the March 2012 issue of Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show.
In the months to come, this web page will be updated regularly, not only with blog entries and information about Thieftaker and its sequels, but also with sample chapters from upcoming books in the series, and original short fiction that will only be available here. So please explore the site, check back often, and, of course, enjoy your visit.

What Is Netflix Hiding And Why?
Shmulik is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) announced earnings for its 4Q 2012 on Jan. 23. The company had a terrific fourth quarter, posting revenues and subscriber numbers well above analyst estimates. The company reported $945 million for the quarter, up from $876 million last year. Wall Street's consensus forecast for the quarter was $935 million. On the subscriber growth front, Netflix failed to disappoint, as it added 2 million U.S. subscribers for the quarter, compared to 220,000 in the prior year's fourth quarter. Investors were quick to embrace the company once again, sending shares of Netflix up 40%.
The cashflow statement
The statement of cashflow (CF) in the quarterly report is designed to properly represent the inflows and outflows of cash during the most recent period and is usually a better gauge of the financial position of a company than the standard EPS. The cashflow statement consists of 3 sections: CF from operating activities, CF from investing activities, and CF from financing activities. The first of which is the most closely watched section by analysts.
Creative accounting employed by Netflix
In the Q4 2012 letter to shareholders, Reed Hastings, the company's CEO, emphasized the power behind the company's content library. He stated that it was one of the things that make it such a great company. In particular, Netflix has recorded $1.38 billion worth of content library. During 4Q 2012, the company added $18 million worth of DVD content to its library.
As every investor knows- the core business of Netflix is to buy DVDs in bulk and then rent them to its end-users. The proper way to treat this massive purchase is to record it as an asset on the balance sheet, and at the same time record the cash expense under 'Cash Flow from Operating Activities' (1st category) because this purchase naturally falls in the category of normal ongoing business operations of the company.
Netflix, though, doesn't think that way.
While the company recorded its library as an asset on the its balance sheet, it refrained from recording the expenses accrued by it as an operating cash expenditure (1st category) and rather decided to record it as an investing action to be included in the Cash Flow from investing activities (2nd category). This accounting decision does not correspond with the proper discretion that management is obligated to exercise: investing activities refer to expenditures on such things as plant and equipment, and NOT the purchase of standard inventory that is later sold to consumers.
The incentive behind Netflix's move
Cash Flow from Operating Activities is the most closely watched part of the Statement of Cash Flow, whereas the Investing section ("under the line") is usually ignored by most investors and analysts alike. By extracting normal operating cash outflows from the operating section, the Net Cash position misleadingly appears much more impressive than it really is.
Netflix stands alone
It's more than interesting to note that Coinstar (NASDAQ: OUTR), one of Netflix's rivals, perfectly understands that expenses for the purchase of a DVD library should be recorded in the operating section. In its most recent quarterly report, Coinstar reported the expenses of its DVD library under 'Cash flow from operating activities,' just as they should be recorded. Perhaps this explains why the darling of the video-rental world trades at an insane P/E of 570x and P/B of 2.6x, while Coinstar, its modest rival, trades at a P/E of 10 and P/B of 0.7. At these prices, Coinstar is well inside the value zone. The difference is even more striking when you consider the fact that Netflix's profit margin is a paltry 0.5%, while Coinstar shines with a profit margin of 8%.
Another much smaller competitor in the video-rental industry is Hulu. A combined creation of NBC Universal, News Corp (NASDAQ: NWS), and Providence Equity Partners, Hulu offers video rentals and streaming TV. In fact, Hulu is so dominant in its field that it accounted for 43% of total streams in 2012. The thing about Hulu is that it's a private venture, and therefore is not obligated to publicly disclose its annual reports. Hence, we have no way of knowing for sure how it classifies its video library content.
So, what's an investor to do?
Avoid holding the shares of a company that is suspected of using dubious accounting tricks. Sooner rather than later, accounting games tend to catch up with the company that employs them. Unfortunately, it is usually the unsuspecting shareholders that get hit first.

Apparently, the April 19, 1865 edition of the New Hampshire Patriot, but I haven't been able to track it down.
The most complete account of Pierce's speech that I've been able to piece together over the years, mostly thanks to Dr. Wallner's Franklin Pierce: Martyr for the Union and Roy Franklin Nichols' Young Hickory of the Granite Hills is that several hundred residents of Concord, New Hampshire showed up on Pierce's doorstep at about 9:00 PM the night following Lincoln's death. When Pierce asked "What is your desire?", the crowd told him, "We wish to hear some words from you on this sad occasion."
Pierce: "I wish I could address to you words of solace. But that can hardly be done. The magnitude of the calamity, in all its aspects, is overwhelming. If your hearts are oppressed by events more calculated to awaken profound sorrow and regret than any which have hitherto occurred in our history, mine mingles its deepest regrets and sorrows with yours."
Someone in the crowd accusingly asked "Where is your flag?" because Pierce's home apparently had no American flag on display, and Pierce was visibly irritated by the demand.
Pierce: "It is not necessary for me to show my devotion for the Stars and Stripes by any special exhibition, or upon the demand of any man or body of men. My ancestors followed it through the Revolution…My brothers followed it in the War of 1812; and I left my family, in the Spring of 1847, among you, to follow its fortunes and maintain it upon a foreign soil [in the Mexican War]. But this you all know. If the period during which I have served our State and country in various situations, commencing more than thirty-five years ago, have left the question of my devotion to the flag, the Constitution, and the Union in doubt, it is too late now to remove it, by any such exhibition as the inquiry suggests. Besides to remove such doubts from minds where they may have been cultivated by a spirit of domination and partisan rancor, if such a thing were possible, would be of no consequence to you, and is certainly of none to me. The malicious questionings would return to reassert their supremacy and pursue the work of injustice…I have never found or felt that violence or passion was ultimately productive of beneficent results."
With that, the crowd supposedly gave the former President three cheers and Pierce went back to bed. When I finally find the full transcript of Pierce's speech from that night, I will be sure to share it.

The temperature records set in 2012 are a warning to America to prepare for the future, experts say.
WASHINGTON — The United States set an off-the-charts heat record in 2012.
A brutal combination of a widespread drought and a mostly absent winter pushed the average annual U.S. temperature last year up to 55.32 degrees Fahrenheit, the government announced Tuesday. That's a full degree warmer than the old record set in 1998.
Breaking temperature records by an entire degree is unprecedented, scientists say. Normally, records are broken by a tenth of a degree or so.
The National Climatic Data Center's figures for the entire world won't come out until next week, but through the first 11 months of 2012, the world was on pace to have its eighth warmest year on record.
Scientists say the U.S. heat is due in part to global warming in action and in part to natural weather variations. The drought that struck almost two-thirds of the nation and a La Niña weather event helped push temperatures higher, along with climate change from man-made greenhouse gas emissions, said Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. She said temperature increases are happening faster than scientists predicted.
"These records do not occur like this in an unchanging climate," said Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. "And they are costing many billions of dollars."
Last year was 3.2 degrees warmer than the average for the entire 20th century. Last July was the also the hottest month on record. Nineteen states set yearly heat records in 2012. Alaska, however, was cooler than average.
U.S. temperature records go back to 1895 and the yearly average is based on reports from more than 1,200 weather stations across the Lower 48 states.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the United States last year also had the second most weather extremes on record, behind 1998. There were 11 different disasters that caused more than $1 billion in damage, including Superstorm Sandy and the drought, NOAA said.
The drought was the worst since the 1950s and slightly behind the dust bowl of the 1930s, meteorologists said. During a drought, the ground is so dry that there's not enough moisture in the soil to evaporate into the atmosphere to cause rainfall. And that means hotter, drier air.
The last time the country had a record cold month was December 1983.
"A picture is emerging of a world with more extreme heat," said Andrew Dessler, a Texas A&M University climate scientist. "Not every year will be hot, but when heat waves do occur, the heat will be more extreme. People need to begin to prepare for that future."

What Do You Know About American Automobile History?
In 1966, Congress passed two laws: the National Traffic & Motor Vehicle Safety Act, and the Highway Safety Act, and established the Department of Transportation. During the 1960s, the auto industry rediscovered its electric origins, experimenting with electric cars. General Motors developed prototypes of two electric vehicles, the Electrovan and the Electrovair II, an electric version of the Corvair. Ten years later, American Motors Company marketed an electric Jeep, the Electruck, to the U.S. Postal Service.*

Over the last few days, a few more names are shaking loose from the established group of available Oilers at the deadline. Ales Hemsky has been in the rumor mill for ages, and there have been items on Andy Sutton, Theo Peckham and Darren Dreger of tsn told us this week Sam Gagner's name is being mentioned by other GMs when Steve Tambellini calls about defense.
The Oilers appear to be active based on reports and it's an interesting time for the organization. Steve Tambellini's style is to observe and report, but it does appear that men like Peckham may be offloaded for the next in line with a similar skill set (Colten Teubert, Alex Plante).
I think the Oilers would want a player back for Gagner, makes no sense to deal him for picks or prospects. Hemsky might fetch a first round pick and the club may feel another bullet for Stu MacGregor is a decent payoff for a few weeks of 83. Sutton, Peckham and others are probably picks. Fair?
What the Oilers need is a guy who can play a lot of minutes effectively, at even strength and on the PK. The club has four signed blue (Whitney, Gilbert, Smid, Potter) and then rfa's in Petry, Peckham and Barker. Plante is going to get a look in the fall, Teubert too. There were also rumors the club was talking contract with Sutton's people not long ago. Plus you'd hope they would be looking at a puck mover.
Which means too many bodies:
Plus guys like Marincin, Davidson, Blain on the way and Klefbom and Musil rising. There's not enough room for these guys, let alone adding a puck mover and Jason Smith. I think the Peckham rumors might have some truth to them just based on next year's depth chart.

Sounds FANTASTIC! It's a DEAL!
Sounds FANTASTIC! It's a DEAL!
I am sooooooooo upset. The blod test did't show I am pregnant. My HCG level was too low. and worst of all my AF showed up today. :-( I hope next time will be positive.
All those symptoms were in my head only. I am soooo willing to be prg that my body made up all these symptoms to make me think I was.
Anyway, I'll try again this month.(2nd time) again with clomid 100. I hope it is successful this time.
Baby dust to all of you
I'm sorry :-(
I don't get to do an IUI this cycle because I have a 3cm cyst on my ovary. Since I have only one ovary they really don't want me to be on meds this cycle. I can try on my own but I don't have much hope for that since I don't always ovulate when not on meds.
I know how much it means to you to get pregnant but you can't get pregnant if you can't live. I'm so sorry you have had such a tragic experience with this. I am hoping for the best for you but please be patient and be careful. The cyst will go away and then you can do the meds again and another IUI treatment. You and I are the same age and the specialist said I was still very young so keep your chin up.
For me, my DH and I had a HUGE fight and I didn't talk to him for 4 days (after taking a very expensive dose of Femara). He finally came around and apologized for his hateful words and that night I ovulated. I took 2 ovulation tests that were positive and I had the egg white CM. When we were done, he said "yep, I think that did it". That was wierd. Then today he said he just knew he got the job done...isn't that what the women usually say? I'll try not to get my hopes up but as you all know very well how hard that is.
First paragraph is a quote that went bad lol
My body's response to Clomid was good! I had one follie at 19.7 and the other not too far behind. Had my IUI done on Wednesday!
Thanks Sharon :-)
GL on your IUI on Wednesday Sarah *babydust*!
I read this after doing another hours on end session of research (you don't want to know what prompted this new search!) and it was the only thing that made me feel really good. It made me feel that I'm not alone and it made me laugh out loud (another sign of craziness perhaps??).
Silly Habits We Have in the Two Week Wait!
Okay, I know you all have at least ONE strange/silly habit in the two week wait! Here are some of mine and others I've heard of from friends TTC. PLEASE HELP ME add to this list. Email me at [email protected] with yours and I'll add it to this page. (It feels good to get it out in the open and know that you're not alone!)
- I gave my follicles "pep talks" in the car on the way to work. I promised to buy them ponies if they would just fertilize. (I lied)
- I gave DH's sperm "pep talks" just before BD. I told them they wouldn't have a curfew if they would just penetrate one of the follicles. (I lied)
- I keep a bottle of baby powder next to my pre-natal vitamins. Every morning when I take a vitamin, I take a whiff from my baby powder. I thought it might give me the same effect as that old adage about "smelling a baby."
- I also washed my hair with baby shampoo and used a baby soap and lotion every day. I'm crazy, but hey - something worked!
- I have a BUNCH of good luck charms sitting next to my bed; a doll baby, a plastic stork, and one of those worry dolls that you're supposed to shake when you're feeling upset (which I did). They're all sitting on a plate that belonged to me when I was a baby.
- I make sure to sit up straight at all times. I get freaked that if I slouch while sitting, I might smush my fallopian tube, ovaries, and uterus... therefore causing conception not to take place.
- In the 2ww, when I'm grocery shopping I just *have* to go down the HPT aisle even though I know I'm not going to buy any! I also go to the magazine section to scan for pregnancy magazines even though I know I won't buy one.
- I won't lift anything in the 2ww heavier than a gallon of milk for fear that the baby will unplant itself and cause a early miscarriage.
- I won't cancel my gyn appt. even though it is scheduled two days after AF is due in July -- what if I get a BFP and need to see her anyways?!?!
- When I do kitty litter duty, I tie a shirt or one of DH's socks around my mouth and nose to make sure I don't breathe in anything that could harm the baby.
- I won't wear my tight jeans, though they make my butt look sooo good.
- I keep babydust from BabyHopes.com in each of my lamp drawers on our nightstands.
- I make DH mow the lawn during my luteal phase, as the vibrations might dizzy his little soldiers, who are trying so diligently to penetrate the egg.
- I don't allow myself to "view" or "come in contact with" a tampon. If I do, that would likely mean af is on her way. I keep them tucked away in a dark, dark area of the house, hoping I won't have to see them for another 10 months or so....
- In the tww, I won't do any type of exercise that requires jumping or abdominal work. I'm worried that it will keep it from implanting, or if it implants, it might knock it loose.
- I won't let my dogs sit on my stomach like they like to do. I don't want any pressure on my lower abdomen. I can't really think of anything else I do. I'm sure there is some unconscious stuff, though.
- I won't have an orgasm during the 2WW because I think it might push the egg out. As a result I rarely have orgasms anymore because the most we do it is during my fertile window, so I've basically screwed myself (no pun intended) out of enjoying sex. From now on, I'm going to just get my freak on because abstaining certainly hasn't helped.
- I make DH do the cat litter during 2ww!
- Sometimes when i go to bed I put my hands on my tummy area just in case it might encourage any implanation/faster swimming etc my theory is they are making it warm and its important to have a warm uterus etc.. (read that somewhere)
- I still let my cats sit on me though for the same reason, they are a bit lighter than a dog mind!! Maybe their purring will encourage the little swimmers to swim longer/faster and meet and fertilize the egg?
- Same thing about the dog in my lap (and my poor doggie looks at me utterly confused) Sorry pooch, mommy's a lunatic!
- I hold my breath when pumping gas in the two week wait
- I won't sleep on my stomach in the 2ww
- No sex in the 2ww!!! (DH loves that one)
- I do orgasm... that's too natural of a thing for me to be afraid it might upset implantation. And i can't go without it. No way. No how.
- I am out of tampons but I refused to buy them because I didn't want to encourage AF.
- I rub my belly in the shower, and sometimes, talk to it hoping to encourage implantation/growth!
- DH hugs me and I think my boobs are tender, so until AF shows I am constantly grabbing and poking them to see if they really are tender.
- I think I'm peeing lots more than normal, so I keep drinking liquids to see if I'll wee more often. Do you see the trend in this habit??
- I am afraid to cough, sneeze, fart or BM in fear that my embryos will get dislodged.
- I worry that if I don't "talk" to my embryos they will feel unloved and therefore will not stick.
- I cannot sleep comfortably because most positions I worry will cause my embryos to not implant (i.e., one leg stretched out and the other leg pulled up).
- I wasn't allowed to say "I think I'm pregnant" - not even after the fourth or fifth + HPT!>> HomePosted on 07 Jul 2007 by twoweekwaitContent

Clomid question:
Does anybody know if it's normal to bleed after sex when taking clomid? I've been on it before - once in 2008 and then in late 2009/early 2010. I don't remember it happening any of those times though. We did the deed on Monday night - had spotting the rest of the night and even on Tuesday. Did the deed again on Tuesday and it was pretty bad. Not heavy enough to wear any protection, but plenty! I thought it was weird. My last hyst/lap was on July 30th, so I know it's not from that and the healing process. My hubby thought maybe I was a little "dry". I know clomid can cause that, so that could easily be the problem. Oh, I started clomid on Saturday 10/02/10 (day 3 of cycle). Currently on 100mg. Been on 50 in the past, but doing 100 because we are going to be doing IUI in the next few months. This cycle was more of a practice one - have a few ultra sounds and see where we are at timing-wise. Any thoughts/advice is appreciated!
Both me and hubby are 31 years young.

2 failed IUI's. 1st IVF cycle May/June 2011.
MarandaKay - That was hillarious...
After the shower I analyze my lower belly to see if its "grown"...even though I know you dont start showing for several weeks. sigh
I would absolutely LOVE it if we got pregnant this cycle and didn't have to go through with the IUI. My insurance doesn't cover infertility, so everything from here on out is out of pocket. Plus, I just don't want to do it yet, but more than likely, it's going to happen.
Now, if only I can stay stress free and not worry and think to much about it!!!!! Is that even possible?!?!?

I don't think stress is as much a factor as all the proclaimed doctors (friends) say it is. Stress is only a factor when it is so great it interrupts ovulation...ie...no AF is a sign. If you've ever been so stressed you missed your AF then I would worry about it but if not, forget about it.

I hope so too, mine will be about $400 because insurance doens't pay for it. I will be looking into another form of insurance to see if they cover it but it wouldn't take affect until January...
Hi to all you ladies. I did my second cycle of iui on tuesday 12, and on the third day after the insemination I had some brownish discharge. Could this be implantation bleeding? From that day I have some light breast tenderness on and off. Does this mean I am pregnanat?
Baby dust. :-)
Thank you for your reply. Wish u the best. Baby dust.
What other symptoms will I try these days? Today I am in day 5.

TTC 4 years - Dx: Endo stage 4 & PCOS
12/6 - 3dt - 2embabies!
12/31/2010 - 6weeks
I got a BFP last night after IUI cycle #2. We only had 2 follies on the right side (I only have a right side - was diagnosed with only one tube and a unicorneal uterus through HSG). The dominant one was 24 mm, with a sidekick of 18 mm. DH's spermies were 18M, and they worked this time.
The plan this cycle was Letrozole from CD 3-7, then Menopur/Bravelle combination injections at 112 cc from 7-12. I have always been sensitive to the injects and produced a LOT of follicles last time, so they downgraded my dose this time from 150 cc. That resulted in fewer follicles, but the lead was a lot bigger. Trigger on CD 13, IUI CD 15. BFP CD 27.
It was difficult to get the catheter up to my uterus during the IUI because I had just emptied my bladder (I had NO idea that I wasn't supposed to do this) - after 15 minutes of them poking different catheters up there, and a little bleeding, they made me drink 2 bottles of water. I was FREEZING because the water was cold, but the catheter slid right up there. My RE told me that it's especially important for me to not empty my bladder because I only have one tube, so my uterus isn't held in the middle of my abdomen by the usual amount of ligaments. Apparently a full bladder moves everything around in there so it's more of a straight shot to the uterus. But I thought I would share the story anyway, in case anyone else has issues.
Also, I totally thought I had started my period on Monday night. I spotted lightly (light brown discharge when the projesterone suppositories were draining out and when I wiped after peeing - I know TMI) Monday night and Tuesday morning. I never spot before my period - it's always full on flow from day 1. I didn't take my progesterone suppository Monday night, thinking I was going to start during the night (which is always good, because I miss the worst of the cramps if I'm asleep when I start). But I woke up Tuesday morning and...no full flow, just a little brown when I wiped and when the progesterone gunk came out. So I put a tampon in Tuesday morning, still thinking I was definitely starting that day, and called my RE's office to set up my first IVF cycle, financial counseling, and class. I wasn't even that bummed because I was so excited to move forward with IVF. But then I stopped spotting Tuesday afternoon, and didn't spot all day yesterday.
When my RE's WONDERFUL nurse called me yesterday to confirm my start date so she could call in my meds, I told her I had stopped bleeding, but I JUST KNEW I was going to start, because I never spot without starting my period. She asked me a bunch of questions:
Are you cramping?
Do you usually cramp before your period?
Was it just a little bit of spotting?
And it was on CD 11?
I guess.
And you didn't take progesterone Monday night and you didn't start Tuesday or today?
No...I'm three hours away for work.
Whatever Linda. Okay. Whatever you say. Suuure, I'm pregnant. You're crazy. I don't even feel the least little bit pregnant.
Sure enough, she was right.
I didn't sleep very well last night, but I have NO pregnancy symptoms, which kinda makes me nervous (although the BFP was pretty dark for 13 DPO - much darker than my first pregnancy was at 16 DPO, but that one ended in miscarriage).
Go in for a beta today....trying not to worry about it. It's hard. This has been such a long road (trying for 2+ years, 2 miscarriages, several bad diagnoses). I know my road hasn't been as hard as some, and I'm even feeling a little guilty that it worked this quickly after starting infertility procedures. And I'm SO SCARED to have another miscarriage. I seriously don't know what it will do to me. It kinda sucks that when people like us get pregnant, they can't be as happy as those who haven't had losses, or trouble getting pregnant. Even my husband was pretty reserved last night - he said he can't get excited and then have to watch me go through another miscarriage. He said he'll be excited after 12 weeks. I know how he feels.
Thanks for listening/reading. I know if anyone will understand, it's you girls.
Wish me luck today,
All the luck in the world to you. You have two gorgeous lines there on your BFP!
Look forward to hearing about your beta!
Beta was 156!
Just wanted to tell you congratulations and that I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months! Sticky Dust!
Yea - Congrats Brie!!! I go in tomorrow for our first IUI. So this its awesome to hear that they do work

For sponsorship opportunities contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Thank you for considering us but we've got a long-list of people who have offered their services. Also note that we don't use or require seat warmers at the ARIAs.
Q: I'm a VIP guest. What's the dress code?
Officially there is no dress code. It's the music industry so pretty much anything goes and you certainly won't be turned away for not dressing up enough. Or too much.

The ARIA Awards are open to product released by ARIA members (ARIA is the Australian Record Industry Association - click here for more information). ARIA members can be artists, record companies, CD distributors, manufacturers, etc. To find out how to become an ARIA member, visit the members section of the ARIA website by clicking here. Each year, all ARIA members are contacted by the ARIA Awards Event Producer with details on how to submit recordings for consideration by the ARIA Awards judging panel. Entries are usually due at the end of July and the eligibility period for releases closes around the same time. If you wish to join ARIA so you can enter recordings in the ARIA Awards, note that membership applications generally close off in the middle of July each year, and only memberships current and approved on that date may enter recordings in the Awards.
Q: How are the winners decided?
The ARIA Awards are peer-voted (except for 4 publicly voted awards), meaning a judging academy of over 800 members of the music industry decide who wins the ARIAs. This academy has evolved over the last 27 years to include judges from all sectors of the music industry - retail, radio and tv, journalists and critics, television presenters, concert promoters, agents, ARIA member record companies and past ARIA winners Click here to find out more.
Q: Can I be a judge?
Membership of the judging academy is by invitation only. For more information on the judges, click here.

Yes. Please contact the Awards team at email@example.com
Q: How do I get to meet the artists?
Unfortunately there is no official opportunity for fans to meet the artists at the ARIA Awards or associated events, but if you're there for the Red Carpet arrivals, you just might get lucky!

Interview- I Now Run The Chocolate City Label – M.I
It is difficult to get hold of Jude Abaga, otherwise called M.I in showbiz industry; his schedule is usually tight. If he's not playing gigs within and outside the country, then he's busy strategising on how to grow Chocolate City to a world-class music company. Sometimes, he's collaborating with young talents in the studio, which puts him in the list of most featured artistes in the country. But if you are lucky to track him down, then, you will discover he's the interviewer's delight.
Several times, we scheduled an interview to discuss his recent appointment as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, but somehow, it never happened. So, when feelers emerged that the 'short boy' from Jos was putting up in one of the exquisite hotels on the Lagos Island, I trailed him, though with his approval. y like, especially when they are close to their mother," he revealed.
In the concluding verse, he took on the police: Hey, Hey oga stop there, abi you never see roadblock here? Na we be the police, search and stop here, if you wan pass son, gotta drop here you no dey see gun, abi you no well? If you form actor, you go go cell; see, behind counter no be hotel…'
"Yea, I later parried the police into it. But even in that, the police guy is still saying, 'you don't know what we are going through on the streets; we just have to make a living.' For me, I just poured my heart into it; I wanted to be deep, but I didn't want it to be sad. At the end of the day, that's the Nigerian spirit; we laugh about it and we keep moving forward," he explained.
Unfortunately, not everyone takes time to get the message?
"Well, in making music, I try to make the beat fun; I try to make people dance to it. But if it's one or two people that get the message, I'm fine; if you can convert one soul a day, it's not bad," he said.
M.I, the UN Ambassador
Recently, the Chocolate City rapper was appointed a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador on Smuggling of Migrants in Abuja. M.I's role would be to speak against smuggling. Other noteworthy UN Ambassadors include Joke Silva, Jackie Chan, Celine Dion, Nelson Mandela, Shakira and Angelina Jolie.
"I've always been involved in social projects; I've always put in my best whether it's autism, cancer, women against violence, etc. When the project came up for them, they were looking at some names. The female Ambassador for human trafficking is Joke Silva; so, they are always looking for serious people," he said.
Along the line, M.I was contacted.
"When they called me, it was very humbling. I was like, 'small me; will I be able to handle this?' But they were so passionate at their office; we flew to Abuja and we visited their restoration home, where I spoke with people that have actually been to the field to bring people back," he said.
You may wish to say 'congrats,' but for the rapper, it's time to get down with work.
"When I got the appointment, everybody was telling me, 'congrats.' But this thing is a four-year project; this is time for work. At the end of the four years, you can come and congratulate me," he intoned.
On the procedures for becoming a UN Ambassador, M.I said, "it's a lengthy process; they really do their background checks. For the most part, what the UN does is, when they appoint you, they expect you to have an idea of what you would like to bring. Basically, for me as an Ambassador for Smuggling, my mandate is to educate people about the dangers of illegal migration from Nigeria; I've been educated so much."
With his sleeves rolled, the rap star called on young Nigerians to be careful with lucrative offers from some fraudulent individuals, promising abroad trips.
"It starts by somebody telling you he can get you somewhere; maybe you are a footballer or artiste. They will tell you, 'don't worry, we are taking 10 people to Italy.' You pay them money and they tell you, 'you can't fly from Nigeria.' So, they will take you to Niger; you get there, you see that you are stranded. Gradually, you start moving to Chad, to Morocco and Libya," he explained.
According to the Jos born-singer, the numbers of Nigerians that are stuck in the desert are over 50,000.
"These are people who willingly went on their own; there are people who were trafficked or taken out of their will. We are talking about people, who got frustrated in Nigeria and wanted to move abroad. By the time you get into the desert, whoever that took you there will abandon you; making you to fight for survival," he said.
Record also has it that many Nigerians; as well as young people from other African countries, have lost their lives on that route.
"People die in the desert. There's a gentleman, Osita that came back and wrote a book about his experience. They told him the trip would take five days from Nigeria to Italy, but he was in the desert for 91 days. By the time he came back, he had lost weight. He couldn't even go back home for two years because he didn't want his parents to see him; so, he stayed in Kano where he picked up a job. It's a very serious thing and I'm doing my part," he said.
As part of his contribution, the rapper plans to go along the migrant trail and shoot a documentary, which will be used as part of his sensitisation campaign.
"Of course, it's dangerous, but we are going to partner with people that are serious about this campaign; I know the EU are interested in the project. We need to educate young Nigerians about the dangers of such ventures," he said.
As for those, who genuinely need to embark on foreign trips, "the Immigration is very focused on getting information for young people; if you have to travel, you need to do it the right way. We also plan to do a song with a video on this; I'm excited about this project," he enthused.
I'm more involved with Chocolate City now
NOT too long ago, there were rumours that M.I was gradually disengaging from Chocolate City. By the time he floated his record label, Loopy Music, many concluded that his relationship with his long time boss, Audu Maikori, must have gone sour. But in a swift reaction, the rapper waved the rumour aside, pledging his allegiance to Chocolate City.
His words: "In fact, I'm more involved in Chocolate City now than before; I became the VP of music last year. After a long while, in appreciation, the company gave me shares in the label, of which I'm very grateful. Later, they said, 'M.I you brought Jessy to us, you brought Ice Prince and Brymo; you know what … run this label for us now? "Audu the CEO has now become the CEO of Chocolate City Group, so, I run the label. Of course, we have Paul, who is the Chief Operating Officer across the group and we have Yahaya Maikori, who was the chairman of the Board. But now, Bello Osagie is the chairman of the Board."
As for Loopy Records, his brainchild, he said, "when I started Loopy Records, everyone thought there's going to be a friction. But Chocolate City is like my wife; Loopy Records is my daughter. I don't run Loopy Records; it's my company, but I have a CEO running the business."
Was there any issue that made you to set up your personal label?
"I didn't start the business because I was unhappy with Chocolate City; it's just about growth. Chocolate City has its focus. As a person, I saw something else and went to Chocolate City to say, 'I want to start this thing,' and they were happy for me. In fact, they even own shares in Loopy.
"So, it's a great partnership; this is like working with brothers. Audu … he's such as great mentor and brother. So, it's one family together, just that as we grow, it looks like we are growing further apart, when we are actually growing stronger," he said.
He continued: "In recent times, I sort of sat back to do more corporate stuffs. We always take it for granted as artistes; when we see people like Jay Z doing CEO of Def Jam, we think it's very easy. It's a lot of hardwork; you need time and dedication. You have to listen more and pay attention; I just had to take out some time to learn. My focus is to position the label (Chocolate City) as a music force to reckon with."
Loopy Records is primarily a label that focuses first on talent.
"Lucky enough, we have artistes that we feel marry both — talented and commercially viable. Hip-hop is doing well in Nigeria, but what about the other genres? What about people, who want to play live music?"
When you talk about humility, M.I has it going for him.
"Maybe it's because where I'm coming from. It used to confuse me when people say 'M.I, you are sooo humble.' Unless you think you are big, you can't be humble. Somebody like me, I don't act like I'm anything. Humility to me is somebody that is big, but pretends to be small. But I'm small, what's there to pretend about?
"Yes, a lot of artistes are misguided; you get into fame and start to believe that's you; it's very dangerous. But I like the fact that in Nigeria, the society would call you to order. They will tell you, 'who are you? Who do you think you are?"
To the rapper, humility is the way to go for any artistes that wants to succeed.
"One of the greatest exports Nigeria has ever had in the hip-hop scene is such a humble guy; Tuface Idibia. No matter how humble any artiste thinks he is, Tuface continuously embarrasses you. He's so humble, so down to earth; he is such a great guy. If we have such a guy to look up to, we have no option but to conform," he said.
Not minding his high rating in the industry, you still see M.I rolling with upcoming chaps.
"God has really blessed me to be around some of the best young talents. When I was coming up, I had the likes of YQ, General Pype, Wizkid, Eben, Ice Prince and others on my first album; it was an opportunity for me and for them. I think that's how the industry should be. You need to learn what's going on. Also, if you have the mind of helping people, it gives you the opportunity to make impact," he said.
Looking at his success career, with fleet of cars to show for it, one might begin to think M.I was born with silver a spoon. However, the truth is that hardwork and humility brought M.I this far.
"My parents tried; we didn't have a lot, but love is everything. If your parents love you and they work hard, they can shield you from a lot. As a young person, that's the lesson I've learnt; no matter what the situation is, just work hard and do your best," he said.
"Coming into music was not easy at all. But for me, I'm somebody that has never seen myself as something. So, it is just part of the process for me. The truth about it is that, it gets harder the higher you go. You need to be more focused. You just have to keep working and stay humble; surround yourself with people that can tell you the truth," he added.

The Houston Astros were baseball's worst team a year ago, going 56-106, but they're not the only team that appears to have little hope of contending this season:
BALTIMORE ORIOLES: They're coming off a sixth straight season with at least 90 losses and play in baseball's toughest division, the AL East, so it's tough to see how the Orioles move up anytime soon. Their most realistic goal is avoiding a losing record for the 15th year in a row.
KANSAS CITY ROYALS: This one-time model franchise has one winning record in the last 18 years. The Royals seem to be in perpetual rebuilding mode, and this year should be no different with one of baseball's youngest lineups.
OAKLAND ATHLETICS: They traded away much of their roster after going 74-88 and seem to be playing for several seasons down the road, when the team hopes to move into a new ballpark in nearby San Jose. But they've been trying for years to find a replacement for aging Oakland Coliseum, so don't hold your breath.
NEW YORK METS: The Mets have gone from one of baseballs' biggest-spending teams to a financial mess in the wake of the Bernard Madoff scandal. With the payroll slashed below $100 million, New York seems to have given up on the idea of contending in the short term.
PITTSBURGH PIRATES: Nineteen straight losing seasons earn the Pirates an automatic spot on this list, even though they showed signs of improvement last season. Pittsburgh actually led the NL Central in late July before collapsing down the stretch. Still, it's hard to be optimistic with one of baseball's weakest lineups and such a recent tradition of defeat.
CHICAGO CUBS: It's the Cubs. 'Nuff said.

Never works for me either. It made my skin oily and I always continued to breakout. It sucks, because it helps aging etc and I did get that benefit, but the breakouts just never ended.

Hello Nelo18, tretinoin also didn't work for me. Try using epiduo, differin, or one of my favorites (currently using) tazorac.
