Wine 1.3.25 Presents Rewritten Audio Support
Published on 22 July 2011 06:42 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
15 Comments
While released on an unfortunate day, Wine 1.3.25 has made it out into the world per the usual bi-weekly development cycle. Prominently featured in Wine 1.3.25 is rewritten audio support based upon the Windows 7 architecture.
Besides the rewrite of the audio support using the Win7 architecture, the old sound drivers for JACK, NAS, and ESD have been removed. Aside from audio work, the graphics driver architecture has received changes for the DIB engine. Additionally, there's improved handling of the shell recycle bin, better joystick support in DirectInput, and an initial stub for VBScript support. There's also various bug-fixes, as usual.
Overall, Wine 1.3.25 looks like a rather exciting development release worth trying out this weekend. See more at

Barry will be a playable character in Resident Evil Revelations 2
Barry to the rescue!
Barry to the rescue!
Sale is on for today and just a *little* bit of tomorrow.
A new trailer, just in time for release!
It's not a sanity effect. This really is happening.
Test your PC's might!
New game play trailer for Haunted House: Cryptic Graves, too!
Leave the past in the past.
A look ahead at what would be great to see in Clementine's next adventure.
Not really "uncensored."
Save ALL the kids!
Probably not the best of career moves.
No, really. Seriously! That's how I know that Mew is under the truck!
What makes a good survival horror game? What makes a good Resident Evil game?
Feelings not included.
Because unless it's VR, it's not terrifying enough!
Choose your weap–err, console!
It's a pretty mystery.
Make way for greatness!
It's time to either import, or just feel left out.
Anyone for some commentary?
Pretty damn good for a debut.
The end of the world is stunning.
Prepare yourselves!
Close the door on this one.
More Claire and Moira.
Find ALL the secrets!
Also, you can eat bricks.

Karen: I am just beginning my research into family history.
My great great grand mother was Phoebe Hanway, Castner Hanway was her brother, according to Ruth Anna Gray, my great grandmother.
Much about Phoebe Hanway's son, Issac Wasington Gray remains a mystery. Where he was born and lived before he married and settled in Avondale, PA.
He enlisted as a private 12/24/1864 in the Civil War and died 4/20/1888 in Avondale after surviving the horrors of Andersonville prison.
The Hanway/Gray's sound like interesting people. I would be interested in learning more about the family history.

Golf IV RSI 1200BHP Dahlback at Butonwillow Raceway.flv
Hans Dahlback with his Golf RSI at race track in Buttonwillow!!!
From interview with HANS DAHLBACK dahlbackracing owner:
Yes, the infamous Golf may be able to put out 1,200 horsepower. Possibly. The
story that comes from Hans Dahlback, the owner of Dahlback Racing and the
mastermind behind these insane cars, is that the car, when running on a Dyno that bolts to the
hubs, produced well over 850 hp to the wheels at around 8,000 rpm before
the Dyno started
reading errors--and the car revs to upward of 11,000 rpm. Using a 15
percent drivetrain-loss calculation, at 8,000 rpm the car was over 1,000
flywheel horsepower. I'm making an
educated guess that the car produced another few ponies in the 3,000 rpm
that followed.
Considering Dahlback claims the motor pulls strong until just under 11,000
rpm--with the power increasing dramatically in the last couple thousand
rpm--it's reasonable to assume, considering the extent the motor's power
curve was climbing at the point the Dyno stopped reading, that the
car would have likely gained another 100 or 200 horses in the remaining
available revs. You also have to keep in mind that Dahlback massively
underpromises any horsepower claim. I was told
by various people at Dahlback's shop that the Golf was producing
significantly more than 850 wheel horsepower on the Dyno, but Dahlback would only
confirm 850-plus hp, and thus that is what I worked my calculations from.
And yes, the car shoots flames out the side exit Exhaust during deceleration.
It was snowing most of the time I was in Sweden, so I didn't get to go for
a ride in the monster Golf, but I did watch quite a bit of track footage of
the car running in Stockholm--from what I saw, the car most definitely
produces 1,200 hp. What I did get to do, however, was rip the nose piece
off the Golf, put the car on a lift, and investigate why this VW is so
freaking fast.

25 years ago today, on 12 March 1989, the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee wrote a proposal to develop a distributed information system for CERN, and in doing so lay down the foundation for what was to become the World Wide Web.
In the ensuing 25 years there can be few people whose lives haven't been influenced by the Web in some way or other. But how has it changed the way we learn?

Debt consolidation
Debt consolidation is the process of combining a group of loans into a single larger loan, ideally at a lower interest rate.
Expanded Definition
Debt consolidation is one strategy for resolving the problem of unmanageable debt, which typically involves credit card debt at high interest rates.
Debt consolidation involves securing one loan, at a manageable interest rate, that is used to pay off all other debt. It therefore simplifies the paperwork and tends to reduce overall monthly payments. One source of debt consolidation is a home equity loan, but personal loans, auto-refinance loans, and specialized debt-consolidation services are all options for consolidating debt.
Although debt consolidation can help borrowers get back on their feet, if the borrower doesn't control his or her spending prior to and throughout the debt consolidation process, the problem is likely to continue and worsen.

This series investigates patriotism in the United States based on its most iconic representation, the American Flag. It began in 2005 and since that time I have captured the multitude of ways the flag is represented in the every day. It began in the East Coast and spans to Hawaii, covering much of the country in between.
Over the last six years, I have collected numerous types of flag imagery. These images display a range of materials from t-shirts, air fresheners, fold-up chairs, plastic bags and of course, the traditional flag display outside of homes and businesses. In this time I have become enamored with the image of the flag in all its kitschy incarnations. Due to the time we live in, it is intended to add to the discussion of where American patriotism is today.
Throughout this process I've asked myself, how is patriotism changing in the United States? My hope is for people to ask themselves, in addition to national pride, what does our flag mean to us?

How Do I Block or Unblock Someone from Calling or Sending Messages to My iPhone or iPad?
Receiving repetitive messages or calls from strangers on your phone can be frustrating. If this has become a frequent annoyance to you, consider blocking those spamming numbers. The steps provided in this tutorial will show you how to do it on an iPhone or iPad, without any third-party software.
How Do I Allow Only Specific Devices to Connect to the Hotspot on My Samsung?
The hotspot feature on your phone is a convenient way to let other devices such as your laptop or tablet share your 3G connection to access the Internet. When you use your phone as a hotspot, especially in public places, you probably only want the devices that you allow to be able to use the connection. While a password can be used to prevent unauthorized access, it can still be cracked. A better solution is to have a list of known devices which exclusively have permission to use the hotspot. Here is how to do it on a Samsung smartphone.
Microsoft Outlook: Do Not Set Selection as Read Automatically in Email
While quickly scrolling through daily email messages, I found that Outlook automatically marks them as read. This is probably the most annoying aspect of Outlook that selected emails are marked as read by default. Fortunately, you can stop this from occurring. Keep reading to find out how.

How Do I Customize the Start Menu on Windows 10?
With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft decided to bring back the Start menu that many users complained about missing in Windows 8. However, the new Start menu also includes an area for live tiles which work similarly to the ones in the old release of Windows. Using the steps in this tutorial, you can customize the Start menu to suit your needs and workflow.

How Do I Share Purchases on My iPhone or iPad with Family Members?
Since the release of iOS 8, Apple has added a way to allow up to six members of your family to share digital purchases such as music, apps, movies, books, and TV shows without sharing an Apple ID and password. This feature is especially cost-effective because you do not need to make the same purchases numerous times. Whatever you download from the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes is available instantly for other members of the family. Here is how to activate and use the feature.
How Do I Group Related Programs Together on Windows 10?
When you are on your computer at work, it is normal to have several programs running at once, some for work and some for personal use. Unfortunately, as you know, having unrelated programs running on your desktop may easily cause a distraction and reduce your productivity. Ideally, you could group the programs together according to type and use only one group while the other remains hidden. That way, you can increase the chances of your finishing your work on time because the working desktop environment is distraction-free. This idea can be achieved using the Task Viewer feature in Windows 10, which allows you to create multiple desktop environments for different purposes.
Category Windows, Windows 10
How Do I Rearrange Apps and Actions in the Share Section on My iPhone or iPad?
Sharing photos and videos has always been a popular feature of the iPhone and iPad. In the past, the Share feature was limited to system apps only. Fortunately, with the release of iOS 8, third-party apps are now allowed to handle the items. However, you may find you have too many apps or actions in the Share list and need to take extra time to scroll through the list to get to the ones you use most frequently. Using the steps in this tutorial, you will be able to move your favorites to the top of the list and disable the ones that you do not use.
How Do I Hide Recent Contacts in the App Switcher on iPhone or iPad?
If you have just updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS 8, you probably noticed that the app switcher, which can be launched by double-pressing the home button, is now showing a list of people whom you contacted recently. iPhone users may find this feature helpful since it lets them quickly locate and call or send a text message to a recent contact. However, for iPad and iPod users, this feature could simply be a bother. Also, users who are active mostly on social networks or chat apps may feel the same since the list only shows people in their address book. If this feature is not helpful for you, you can remove the recent contacts from the app switching screen to declutter the interface. Continue reading to find out how.
How Do I Get Notifications from a Specific Email Thread on My iPhone or iPad?
If you receive hundreds of emails a day, you have probably already turned off email notifications on your phone because the frequency of the notifications is too high. However, completely turning off email notifications increases the chances of your missing important incoming email messages. To deal with this problem, you can manually turn on the notification feature for selected email threads. That way, you will never miss any important messages, and other emails will never have a chance to bother you. Here is how to do that using the Mail app on iPhone or iPad.

The Great Debate
Cuba's uneasy Internet connection
Last week, an Associated Press article, "US Secretly Created 'Cuban Twitter' to Stir Unrest," sparked an uproar. The U.S. Agency for International Development had funded a Cuban version of Twitter called ZunZuneo , the AP reported, that attracted more than 40,000 users before ending in 2012, according to the story.
Post Chavez: Can U.S. rebuild Latin American ties?
The funeral of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez earlier this month was a massive celebration of a vitriolic foe of the United States. This tribute should make Washington take a fresh look not only at its relations with Venezuela but also with all of Latin America.
A helping U.S. hand to Cuba's market reform?
– Boston University Professor Susan Eckstein is author of "The Immigrant Divide: How Cuban Americans Changed the U.S. and Their Homeland" and "Cuba under Castro," and past president of the Latin American Studies Association. The views expressed are her own. –
A change of course in Cuba and Venezuela?
The following are excerpts from STRATFOR's geopolitical weekly column by George Friedman, chief executive officer of STRATFOR, a global intelligence company. He is the author of numerous books and articles on international affairs, warfare and intelligence. His most recent book is "The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century." The opinions expressed are the author's own.
Cuba and twisted logic, double standards
It is time for the United States to stop trading with China and ban Americans from travelling there. Why? Look at the U.S. Department of State's most recent annual report on human rights around the world.
from The Great Debate UK:
A bet against Castro's immortality
-- Neil Collins is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own --
LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - "Practically everyone who follows Latin American events agrees that Castro's end is near." Thus one Laurence W Tuller, writing in 1994 in his manual on high-risk, high-reward investing. Defaulted Cuban government bonds had jumped on hopes of a settlement to allow the country back into the international capital markets.
Today, former leader Fidel Castro's end is 15 years nearer, but he's still there, albeit in semi-retirement, and holders of these pre-Castro bonds with a face value of around $200 billion are still waiting. Castro's regime kept good records, but have paid no interest, and ignored redemption dates since his revolution half a century ago.
Few Americans can remember why their administration has been so beastly to Cuba for so long.
Those who can mostly live in Florida, a key swing state, and many risked everything to get out of Cuba. They do not want to see their investment devalued by hordes of their former compatriots simply walking off the Delta Airlines flight from Havana.
Last week U.S. President Barack Obama eased the squeeze somewhat. Americans can now visit Cuba, but only if they have relatives there.
This gesture has re-ignited the bondholders' old hopes. Past settlements of defaulted sovereign bonds have tended to pay about half the total of accrued interest plus principal, so the buyers see plenty of upside.
Exotix, a specialist trader in "frontier markets", says its price for a typical Cuban bond instrument has risen from around 9 cents on the dollar at the start of this month to 14 cents on April 23.
Mind you, the spread is wide, the market thin and as events crowd in on the President, he might feel there are more pressing problems than to risk upsetting those key-voting Floridian Cubans.
In Cuba, low-hanging fruit for Obama
After Obama win, goodbye to Cuban embargo?

Labour can be painful, so it's important to learn about all the ways that you can relieve the pain. It's also helpful for whoever is going to be with you during your labour to know about the different options, as well as how they can support you. Ask your midwife or doctor to explain what's available so that you can decide what's best for you.
Write down your wishes in your birth plan, but remember that you should keep an open mind. You may find that you want more pain relief than you'd planned, or your doctor or midwife may suggest more effective pain relief to help the delivery.
You will be more relaxed in labour and better placed to cope with the pain if you:
This is a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide gas. Gas and air won't remove all the pain but it can help to reduce it and make it more bearable. Many women like it because it's easy to use and they control it themselves.
You breathe in the gas and air through a mask or mouthpiece, which you hold yourself. You'll probably practise using the mask or mouthpiece if you go to an antenatal class. The gas takes about 15 to 20 seconds to work, so you breathe it in just as a contraction begins. It works best if you take slow, deep breaths.
There are no harmful side effects for you or the baby but it can make you feel light-headed. Some women also find that it makes them feel sick, sleepy or unable to concentrate. If this happens, you can stop using it.
If gas and air doesn't give you enough pain relief, you can ask for a painkilling injection as well.
Another form of pain relief is the intramuscular injection (into the muscle of your thigh or buttock) of a drug, such as pethidine or, less commonly, diamorphine. The injection can also help you to relax, which can lessen the pain.
It takes about 20 minutes to work after the injection, and the effects last between two and four hours.
There are some side effects to be aware of:
An epidural is a special type of local anaesthetic. It numbs the nerves that carry the pain impulses from the birth canal to the brain. For most women, an epidural gives complete pain relief. It can be helpful for women who are having a long or particularly painful labour, or who are becoming distressed.
An anaesthetist is the only person who can give an epidural, so it won't be available if you give birth at home. If you think you might want one, check whether anaesthetists are always available at your hospital.
How much you can move your legs after en epidural depends on the local anaesthetic used. Some units offer 'mobile' epidurals, which means you can walk around. However, this also requires the baby's heart rate to be monitored remotely (by telemetry) and many units don't have the equipment to do this. Ask your midwife if mobile epidural is available in your local unit.
An epidural can provide very good pain relief, but it's not always 100% effective in labour. The Obstetric Anaesthetists Association estimates that one in eight women who have an epidural during labour need to use other methods of pain relief.
To have an epidural:
Read more about the pros and cons of epidurals.
Water can help you relax and make the contractions seem less painful. Ask if you can have a bath or use a birth pool. The water will be kept at a comfortable temperature but not above 37.5°C, and your temperature will be monitored.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal College of Midwives have produced a joint statement on labour and birth in water. The National Childbirth Trust also has information on using water during labour and birth.
This stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Some hospitals have TENS machines. If not, you can hire your own machine.
TENS has not been shown to be effective during the active phase of labour (when contractions get longer, stronger and more frequent). It's probably most effective during the early stages when many women experience low back pain.
TENS may also be useful while you're at home in the early stages of labour or if you plan to give birth at home. If you're interested in TENS, learn how to use it in the later months of your pregnancy. Ask your midwife to show you how it works.
Electrodes are taped onto your back and connected by wires to a small battery-powered stimulator. Holding this, you give yourself small, safe amounts of current through the electrodes. You can move around while you use TENS.
TENS is believed to work by stimulating the body to produce more of its own natural painkillers, called endorphins. It also reduces the number of pain signals that are sent to the brain by the spinal cord.
There are no known side effects for either you or the baby.
Read more about TENS.
Some women prefer to avoid the types of pain relief listed on this page, and choose alternative treatments such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, hypnosis, massage and reflexology. However, most of these techniques don't provide effective pain relief.
If you'd like to use any of these methods, it's important to discuss them with your midwife or doctor and let the hospital know beforehand. Most hospitals don't offer them for pain relief during labour.
If you want to try any of these techniques, make sure that the practitioner is properly trained and experienced. For advice, contact the Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine.

Typical nhs, so hypnobirthing doesn't have pain relief effects? But obviously all the nasty chemicals etc do. I think NHS need to acknowledge there are a lot new first time or even parents, viewing this article, so for you to make this statement is quite far fetched with no supporting evidence??Also, the link you have put on for 'institute of complentary therapy' does not work, could you kindly advise us mom to be's where to get this needed information?Not all moms want medication.. It seems that since being pregnant,(now 27 weeks) I have found it very difficult to find herbal remedies and natural pain relief/hormonal solutions??Herbal remedies for recurrent thrush and my midwife took over 7 hours to reply about omega 3/primrose oil recommendations my gp laughed at at me regarding I'm sure a lot would agree with me hear]its about time the NHS start looking into complementary services and allow them on the NHS for us paying national insurance contributions... We should be able to decide what is best for us and our new babies clearly.Im so frustrated!! It just angers me that I have to constantly search the internet for advice from parents and moms who are 'in the know' about herbal remedies and solutions... NHS get interested please!!!

I think i have a high level of pain tolerance so for my 1st i opted for a water birth and gas and air. I think both helped and would recommend both. That's if a bath relaxes you generally, it does for me. My mouth did get quite dry from gas and air but i got plenty of cold water from my partner. I am due any day with my second and I've opted for the same. My friends who have used the tens machine have also recommend it. And others who have missed out on epidural because they decide they want it too late.

I used hypnosis as a form of pain relief and it was so effective that the midwife for my first labour called a few members of staff into my delivery suite as she didn't understand what was going on. I pleaded to be admitted with my second child when I was 2 cm dilated as I did not want to give birth unassisted. I was told (in milder terms) to stop telling stories how I did not feel any pain until the last hour (baby's weight 3.200 kg) and come back when I am in established labour. I ended up giving birth to a 3.1 kg baby with my husband for a midwife as I did not feel any pain until the last 10 minutes. Two British surgeons performed thousands of operations using hypnosis as a pain relief for the their patients so everyone who says that hypnosis is not an effective form of pain relief is misinformed. The drawback of hypnotherapy is that it cost me £350 for one to one sessions with a qualified hypnotherapist but as I had two very easy labours and deliveries I think it was worth every penny

Elisabeth_mc: I think it depends on your labour, state of mind and pain tolerance. I was only in labour for 12 hours with my daughter, the first eight hours I coped with paracetomal at home, when I did go into hospital I had gas and air, I thought it would make me feel sick but I was quite determined I didn't want any other pain relief, and I wasn't allowed the water birth I wanted. In the end, despite being sick with hypermesis throughout my whole pregnancy gas and air got me by fine! You don't tend to use it very much when it gets to pushing anyway!

I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I've just started looking into different types of pain relief during labout but to be honest I don't even like the idea of gas and air because I think it will make me feel dizzy and nauseous.. I know that labour isn't going to be completely pain free but am I being completely naive to think that I can do this with just a couple of paracetamol and nothing else??

I've had my son at 38 weeks. I planned for a hospital but natural labour and that's what it was. Despite the fact that when the pain hitted me I had selfish thoughts, like knock me out, cut me open and take the baby out, :o) when I had him I was so, so happy I went for a natural birth rather than adding chemicals to mine and baby's body. I was almost completely mobil and able to take care of myself as well as my baby. Now I am pregnant again and I want the exact same thing (although not sure it will be possible due to Asherman's on uterus). Just one thing I was fuming! There was no dinner available as baby came out just after dinner time! I think the hospital should always have a warm soup for the maternity ward. This time I am taking a camping gas bag full of food. :o)

I had two easy labours :-) I think state of mind really helped: did not think about the labour as a painful experience, only look forward to your reward - your baby! With first one started naturally, massage on the lower back did the magic, however towards the end I had an injection of pethidine, it made me sleepy in between the contractions and made the pain bearable. I was fully on and the baby wasn't sleepy (as many says). With my second child thought I knew exactly what I want. Couldn't be more wrong! First : massage didn't help, in fact I screamed at my partner the moment he touched me! Could not stand it! All I could do is a lot of walking and leaning forward swinging my hips. Later I did the same - asked for an injection. All went well as the first time. Now I am 24 weeks pregnant and trying to find out what's new in this field (las labour was 10 years ago! ) definitely not going for the pool - previously I had to run to the toilet almost at every contraction - for #1 and # 2. Once in the pool, what's gonna happen!?... Not a pretty sight. Maybe hot shower now and then? And definitelly lots of walking! i have a good pain tolerance , so maybe that's why my labour was almost fun? Good luck to you all :-)

I had my first child 8 weeks pematurely nearly 3 years ago and found it extremely and unbearably painful. I couldn't take the gas and air as I found it dried my mouth and throat up completely and I hated it. I ended up having pethidine but found it didn't relieve the pain one tiny little bit. It just made me feel a little out of it in between contractions, but it didn't ease the pain of the contractions at all. I am now 30 weeks pregnant with my second and have bought and been practising a natal hypynotherapy CD. I seem to be unable to self hypnotise, but it certainly helps me to thoroughly relax and has taught me how to turn down the pain dial mentally. I believe that with its help, I will hopefully experience less pain this time round. Because my first was premature, I was recently given steroid injections to mature this baby's lungs in case he comes early too. I had to have 2 injections within 24 hours and found the first relatively painful. Therefore when I went back for the second, I decided to count how long the injection took (as it takes a little while - 18 secs to be precise) and to visualise the numbers as I counted. I found this really worked to reduce the pain and in fact reduced it by about half. This is why I believe my natal hypnotherapy CD is going to help me, as I think if you can manage to relax, breathe deeply and focus on something other than the pain, it will be far less intense and much more manageable. Good luck to every pregnant woman due to give birth soon. I hope all goes well

why is it that the mobile epidural option is not mentioned on this list of pain relief options? Is it not available broadly?

Hi, I had my son three years ago and would like to say how ante natal classes provided by the NHS were very good. Me and my partner learnt loads about pain relief during labour and there was focus on how to make your partnerf eel involved, what they could do to try and help you feel better etc. This page is intended to provide information about what is available not what is best. It is up to the woman in labour what pain relief she feels is necessary and to stand her ground once she has chosen. My birth plan consisted of wanting a water birth at home but wanting gas and air bringing by the midwives aswell. I was in labour for 44 hours and my son was 9 days overdue! I ended up with a birth plan that was useless but I had kept an open mind throughout the whole experience. I used up a full can of gas and air at home then went straight to hospital once my waters had broken and gave birth there, which was upsetting but had to be done. I personally didnt think gas and air was brilliant but it was the only thing I used once the pain became more intense. I have always said once we have our second baby-the first sign of back pain and I'm having an epidural! Everyone is different, my pain tolerance is very good but it doesn't mean yours is :) Choose what you want, there is no right or wrong method of pain relief during labour just make the best of this amazing fabulous experience!

Im a Midwife and a mother of 7 and I have one thing to say, pain is pain, we are all different, do whats right for you !No one view or opinion is correct, Ive witnessed hundreds of births both medicalised and natural and the only time it works well for mother and baby is when the woman is informed, respected, listened to, and allowed to birth her baby just as she wants to, be that with a epidural and no pain or with the help of hypnosis techniques,water etc etc. Ive seen excellent outcomes and happy satisfied women using lots of different methods...... Just read up, educate yourself and do whats right for you :) easy ! x

I had two pregnancies including twins at 40 weeks the second time. In both cases I relied on breathing techniques and on gas and air, and I truly did not find the births a painful experience. I think the NHS advice does sound unduly negative, and I would urge pregnant mums to practise, practise, practise the breathing and relaxation techniques as they really do help. I learned the techniques at the local hospital ante-natal classes but also at NCT classes as well. Having said that, any mum who feels they need pain relief should have it and shouldn't feel pressured into being heroic. Everyone is different.

To be honest, I think that every single comment below is silly. Im 19 years of age and 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Now if i'm honest, i'm absolutly petrifide of labour, for many reason, one of them being that I have a serious fear on needles, another being that due to my boy being very big considering how far along I am, I may need to be induced early before he gets 'too big', another being that every single person I know who have had babies have said 'yes labour is painful' for some more than others. I came on to this page looking for different methods of pain reliefe, and hoped that the comments would be filled with other womens experiences so I could get a good idea of what to use. Ive found that the info on the page to both be helpful and fair/non-biased. But the fact that all these comments are just women nit picking and arguing over something rather pathetic.At the end of the day different people have different pain thresholds and different things work for different people, for example one of my friends went through labour with no pain reliefe, not by choice, but because none of them took, gas and air made her physically throw up, and the epI just didnt work after 3 attempts she had to go at it alone. On the other hand my mam only used gas and air and a TENS machine when having me and she said, yes it was painful but it was barable. Im going into this blind with the mind set that, ive gotta push something the size of a large butternut squash out of a hole the size of a.. Well alot smaller, and the chances are its gunna hurt. In conclusion, all the women who have commented on her should just think, people have come on her for help and advice, not petty arguments. Like I said im 19 years of age, how old are you lot ?? Grow up !!

apparently using direct quotes is not allowed on this site? anyway, the irony I was pointing towards is the many comments on here that state labour ISN'T painful, then blatently go on to say that they used hypnobirthing methods or other alternative methods of pain relief/control/management......... for what, if there is no pain to be experienced??

wow... I was asked the other day by my 8 year old daughter what irony is, and I think I should get her to have a look through these comments as this is the ultimate example of irony. I fail to understand what anybody has an issue with here. This is an NHS website and this page is called "pain relief in labour". Why on earth would you enter this page and then complain that it states labour is painful? Perhaps if people focussed on what this page is here for; to guide pregnant women through the pro's and con's of the choice of pain relief available on the NHS instead of advertising alternative methods that are not freely available on the NHS, we would be able to stick to the point.Lets face it, if a mum to be wanted to discover "alternative methods of pain relief for the non-existent pain that is apparently not felt during labour", she would have googled just that and not landed on the NHS choices website.

I would like to put in my tuppence worth too! I agree with some of the other comments, pain is a matter of perception and some women do not perceive pain. Most women in this country have no idea how to prepare effectively for childbirth. Our society is full of negative associations of childbirth with women on the TV shown screaming and so on. We set people up to be scared of the process and use the medication offered. But it doesn't have to be like this! If women learnt how to relax and practiced, we would realise that we are in fact perfectly designed to have babies. I had my baby using 'Natal Hypnotherapy'- self hypnosis for birth. I did a days workshop and lisened to the CD from about 30 weeks. The midwives couldn't believe how calm I was especially for my first baby and my little girl was born at home in the water without any medication or complications. I put this down to my state of mind because of the 'Natal Hypnotherapy'.I also exercised throughout my pregnancy so I was fit to give birth, made sure she was in the right position by adopting a 'scubbing the floor position' each day before the birth and drank raspberry leaf tea 3 times a day in the 3rd trimester. I wish more accurate information was available about this in the public domain. And not just cursary mentions of 'alternative methods'.

Sorry Heidi, I don't agree with you at all. NHS Choices has done a nice balanced account of the pros and cons of different pain relief options.For the vast majority for women, labour is painful and NHS Choices is trying to reflect reality. Women who have mentioned painful experiences are just relating their experience of labour. They have a right to do that - it does not mean they are bitter. There are women who have pain free labours but excepting those who have an epidural, they are a tiny minority.People can't make informed choices if they are not given accurate information. NHS Choices has done a pretty good impartial job of describing the pros and cons of different pain relief opitons. If it painted too rosy a picture it would be criticised for leaving women unprepared.Personally I think they have got the message right.

I read this page, including all of the comments, as I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first child and am trying to prepare myself with what to expect. I am open minded as to what will happen but am not at all afraid.I was surprised that the opening phrase was 'labour is painful' as I know friends who have experienced pain-free births (yes, many other friends who found it painful) and for a moment I thought - 'am I being lied to? If so by whom?' This statement seems very biased and so has automatically made me wary of any other statements on the page.I too was disappointed with the statement regarding alternative pain relief. I am here to keep an open mind and the NHS is narrowing it for me.Regarding the above comments - those who talk about negative, painful experiences sound very, very bitter and have not inspired me in the least. It seems that being in control of whether or not you have pain relief is the problem NOT the pain vs no pain concept.I'm disappointed that in coming to this page for supportive and encouraging advice I have encountered narrow-minded and old-fashioned statements from the NHS and then a slanging match between those traumatised by birthing experiences and those wishing to advertise hypnobirthing.Please – let's have some constructive and positive information/feedback that acknowledges the possibility of a variety of birth experiences. After all, I have never heard of two birthing experiences that were the same.I choose to remain positive and open minded.

I am sorry that some here have found labour such a painful and negative experience. I had two 9 lb + babies with no pain relief, using only self-hypnosis. That was 20 and 17 years ago and since then I have qualified as a hypnotherapist and helped many women have controlled, relaxed and empowered birth experiences. Pain is subjective. When you first step into a swimming pool, the water feels chilly, but then when you are in the water, it feels fine. Working in an office if you are very busy, you might "forget" to stop for lunch, or maybe not notice that you get a paper cut until things calm down. Hypnosis can teach you to focus away from any pain or discomfort. I have successfully helped people have dental treatment without anaesthetic, and helped someone whose leg was smashed at the scene of a motorcycle accident. He was telling jokes to the paramedics in the ambulance on the way to hospital. Childbirth is natural, it is a huge undertaking, but when you are taught effective self hypnosis by a qualified hypnotherapist it does not have to be painful. PS Hypnotherapy can also help with infertility, nausea, and dealing with any kind of stress and both partners can be fully involved throughout. You have nothing to lose by giving it a go, because all other options are totally compatible with it.

i am on my first pregnacy in 32 weeks,and i can say i'm not very scared about the birth.What i can say that everyone is diferent and react diferent to pain,as to pain relifes as well...i really know that maybe its going to be painful but i know as well that i can control the pain very well.i think that in labour you just need to think about your self and keep as calm as posible....don't forget that the sensation of pain comes from your brain..

I find it really insulting when i hear people state that Labour is not painful fact. As if myself and millions of women the world over have missed a tick. With my first child I truly thought I could go through natural child birth and would find it empowering, I honestly did not go in fearing I would be in pain or couldn't take it. I ending up with an epidural because guess what it really really hurts. After the epidural I had a lovely calm birthing experience and I treasure the memory's of my Daughters birth. In contrast I was refused an epidural when I gave birth to my second child because the midwife's said he would be born any minute (I was told that at 11pm and he was born at 10:30am the next day). The two births where like night and day, I was in so much pain I hated my baby when he was first born (it took two days alone with him in the maternity ward for us to bond no rush of instant love) and cry when I think about the labour. Of course everyone's experiences are different but to say Child birth is not painful and tramatic is demeaning,

I'm sorry, but labour is painful, and I am fed up of this myth that it isn't. Yes there are things you can do to reduce the pain through drugs, relaxation methods, or if hypnotherapy works then great, but you do need something and people need to be prepared.I wonder how much the HypnoBirthing classes cost? As the other comment here seems like a lovely advert. As for me I would say there is no pride at all in giving birth drug free, it is just your personal choice, yes women all over the world do it without medical intervention, but then the maternal death rates are high. I'm just thankful that I live in a country where I can have a choice and people who aren't trying to sell you something are honest enough to say that child birth hurts, it's how you manage it that counts.I've had two children, the first was a lovely labour, I had an epidural and as I wasn't in pain I felt relaxed, I was able to bond with my first and feel ready for the task ahead of me. Unfortunately I was not able to have an epidural with my second and I was left shocked, in pain and with postnatal depression, all because the midwife thought she knew what was best for me. All is fine now, but I strongly believe that women need to be given ALL the facts and have their choices respected and I found this site impartial and very helpful.

I have to agree with Melissa on this. I am a midwife working within the NHS and I also teach HypnoBirthing classes. I have worked predominently with women experiencing natural drug free birth and can absolutely state that it is NOT always awful, painful and scary. The above information is breeding fear, suggesting that even if women would like to experience a gentle positive birth then they will probably change their minds because its so painful!!! What a dreadful message to give women at such an emotive time.The fact is that natural drug free birth results in better outcomes, less postnatal depression, higher breast feeding rates, well socialised babies, empowered women and ... less cost for the NHS! so perhaps this page needs reviewing?! I absolutely support the idea of informed choice and believe women should be aware of all there options but on a site such as this it should be offered in an unbiased fashion.

i had to join this site to state this fact: Labour is not painful (in all circumstances).I found this an irresponsible statement to make from a national health authority. I and thousands of other women can attest to the possibility of comfortable and often painfree births, which brings me to my second criticism...Quote: "Some mothers want to avoid the above methods of pain relief and choose acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, hypnosis, massage and reflexology. Most of these techniques don't provide very effective pain relief."As a mum who used HypnoBirthing (The Mongan Method) and was so successful I now teach it; this was a particularly inflammatory and inaccurate statement to make; particularly ironic as this method is now being used in several NHS trusts around the UK, and has growing support from midwives and obstetricians alike!I would like to see this page reviewed and edited so that it presents scientific fact, not biased opinion.The only thing I can agree on is the importance of relaxation, but how can any expectant parents be capable of that when certain parts of the NHS itself makes birth so frightening in the first place.Thankfully my local NHS hospital and it's wonderful staff were very supportive and excited by my HypnoBirthing and saw the results first-hand.

Less than a minute into In Tall Buildings' 2010 self-titled debut is a moment that hints at Erik Hall's cut-and-paste method. New vocal lines burst abruptly from beneath the previous ones, as if overeagerly jumping their cue. But the music is so carefully constructed that it's obvious this was a choice rather than a mistake, and the effect in an otherwise patient and gentle song is the understanding of a clear vision behind the music.
The album was crafted over four years, Hall said in a phone interview this week promoting his February 15 performance at Rozz-Tox. "I didn't push it at all," he said. "I didn't work on it unless something came to me, unless I had an idea that I knew I wanted to apply to the music that I was already working on. So it was very gradual."
While the album's gestation period was long by music-industry standards, Hall's composing and recording approaches were particularly unusual. He started out with a backbone – a chord progression or rhythmic pattern – and recorded it for the final product. "That's it," he said. "It's not like a demo. ... Sometimes I have to sit and live with that for a good while before I figure out where the vocals are going to come from, what the song is going to be about, and what else sonically it needs." He added with a laugh: "That can take anywhere from a week to a year."

For Wet Hair singer and keyboardist Shawn Reed, being experimental is the only thing he can do. "Unless it's weird and challenging, I'm just bored with it," he said in a phone interview this week. "It just doesn't feel important to me."
The surprise of last year's In Vogue Spirit was that the Iowa City band produced a batch of songs that was – for it – downright poppy.
That might seem like a contradiction unless you're familiar with Wet Hair's previous work, or the output of Reed's and bandmate Ryan Garbes' previous noise-rock outfit Raccoo-oo-oon. Pitchfork.com wrote that "in both Raccoo-oo-oon and Wet Hair, Garbes and Reed have been uncompromising in their pursuit of the outer limits. ... That hasn't changed. But with In Vogue Spirit, Garbes and Reed have delivered a more consistent, considered record. Space is still the place, but they've found shortcuts to getting there."

When the quartet Deleted Scenes recorded its second album, Young People's Church of the Air, the atmosphere was "intense and pressurized," resulting in a "doomed energy," singer/guitarist/co-songwriter Dan Scheuerman has said.
In an interview this week promoting his band's February 3 performance at Rozz-Tox, Scheuerman elaborated on those intriguing phrases. To start, the recording period was more compressed than for the band's debut, he said: "We wanted the record to have a moment. Instead of being recorded over a year, it was recorded over more like three months. In that sense, it's more identifiable as one piece of work."
But the time frame was just one factor. "There was a weird vibe going on in the studio," Scheuerman said. Producer L. Skell "is hard to read. So there was a lot of silence and glowering ... . And so we'd go in a direction and not be sure what was going on. And then when things seemed dark and we weren't getting anywhere, everything would sort of snap together and ... [Skell] would come up with one or two really amazing suggestions to focus everything. There was a sense of ominousness to the proceedings, and that I think created a sense of doom. And there's also a bit of doom in the songwriting as well. ... There was a high degree of tension."

A lot of bands decide to track their albums largely live in the studio, but until I talked to David Mayfield, I'd never heard such a strong rationale. The typical goal (outside of saving money and time) is to capture a live energy, with the incidental benefit of retaining some charming flubs.
But for the self-titled debut of the David Mayfield Parade, this bandleader knew that live tracking – including recording the drums with a single microphone – would get the best out of the players.
"I think there's some merit to limiting your options," said Mayfield, whose band will perform as part of the Communion Tour at Rock Island's Rozz-Tox on November 1. "It really helped to just put us in a mindset of pulling the trigger and making these choices early on. All the lead guitar, and drums, and bass are in the room together, and there's so much bleed that you couldn't go in and fix something. You had to just choose a take and live with it, which kind of made everyone ... more precious about their performance."

In April 2008, Seattle alternative-weekly paper The Stranger dubbed Shenandoah Davis its artist of the week, writing that "fans of Joanna Newsom have a local act to love." The comparison to the idiosyncratic harpist/singer/songwriter was flattering, but there was one problem: Davis had never played in public as a solo artist.
She began to get inquiries about shows, but she was unseasoned as both a songwriter and performer. "I remember very distinctly that there was one show that I was so nervous about I canceled it maybe half an hour before – the second show I was ever supposed to play," the 26-year-old Davis said in a phone interview promoting her September 16 show at Rozz-Tox.
So started a steep learning curve for Davis, who began playing piano as a toddler and has a degree in opera performance but has been writing her own songs for less than four years.
