- Deliciosu Indian foodLloydVIPDined on 11/23/2014I don't think there's a better Indian restaurant in Boston. The food--especially all the chicken dishes--are fresh and expertly prepared. The chef is very attentive to your heat level. And everything comes out exactly as you'd like it. This time I had the checiken Vindaloo and it was delightful--perfectly balanced chocken and potato, spicy but not unbearable. The naan is the best around. The raita is excellent. The tandoori cicken is cooked to eprfection. What more can one desire from Indian cuisine?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!aCurrentCustomer217Dined on 11/21/2014Tantric was amazing! From the food, to the atmosphere and service, my boyfriend and I were really satisfied. It was nice going to a restaurant where the culture wasn't lost. (Ive gone to foreign restaurants that were more Americanized). There were Indian inspired decorations as well as Indian music playing in the background. Their lamb tika masala and cheese naan was so savory and delicious. Next time I will try the buffet! I definitely recommend this restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Indian foodPeterDined on 11/15/2014We met another couple there for an early dinner and had a very good time. The food was very good and the service was too. I ordered a lamb vindaloo hot and was just want I wanted. Good vegetarian dishes and great nan.I would recommend this to a friend.

- DeliciouscroutondonDined on 11/8/2014Some of the best Indian food in town. The South Indian style makes the food very spicy, but this restaurant brings spiciness to their food that's full of rich flavors. Incredibly authentic Indian dining experience.Special Features:
- Good Indian FoodnycgmDined on 11/1/2014Two of us went for dinner prior to a show in Boston. When we arrived we were seated immediately with our reservation. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was hopping. We were lucky to get a table in the back where it was quieter. The restaurant is one large area so the noise can get a bit much. Our waiter was very good and attentive. We liked that we could choose the level of spiceyness. We had the chicken tikki masala, garlic naan and vegetarian saag. The portions were good and flavorful. We were able to easily dine and make our 8 pm show. It is a casual atmosphere so jeans or nicer outfits are fine. We would go back there for good food at a reasonable price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Better than most Indian restaurantsJessicaDined on 11/1/2014Tantric has better food than most Indian restaurants, but is certainly pricier. It's a convenient place to have a meal prior to going to the theater, but I wouldn't travel out of my way to go there.
- Have been dining here for yearsNanitaDined on 10/25/2014Always great food and service. The Papri Chat appetizer is my favorite. So many flavors and textures blended together - yogurt, chick peas, tamarind, and thick crunchy crispy noodle. When ordering entrees and you request your spice level hot, they actually do it. Many other places just make it mild no matter what the request. Great place. Very busy Always good service.Special Features:
- Good experienceDan4thDined on 10/19/2014The "medium" was not as spicy as I might hope, but the flavor profiles were excellent. The service was pleasant and attentive, and they were cooperative about getting us out in time for our show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb Indian cuisineLloydVIPDined on 10/10/2014If there's a better Indian restaurant in the Boston area, I don't know it. And there's certainly no competition in the theater district. This is superbly prepared food--fresh chicken that really makes a difference in tandoori (best in Boston) or vindaloo or the delciously spice and delicate chettinad, with its touch of tamarind. Excellent naan, also very fresh and not rubbery, delicious, refreshi9ng raita, and a full bar!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great foodmike2bDined on 10/10/2014food and service outstanding. terrible seating along left wallSpecial Features:
- Special OCcasion dinnerSMonsterDined on 10/6/2014Though the food tasted yummy while eating, multiple members of my party suffered stomache aches and pains the next day. Furthermore, out waitress had a huge attitude, and the service was INCREDIBLY slow. We would order multiple things off the dessert and drinks menu, only to find out they've already run out. That kind of information should absolutely be present prior ordering. Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend this restaurant to any of my close friends.
- Tantric TerrificOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/5/2014The food, drink and atmosphere are top notch. Our service, on the other hand, was lacking. The waiter was pleasant enough, but he forgot to put our appetizer in even though he asked us several questions about our preferences. He also brought my partner the wrong beverage. On the plus side he checked back with us several times to see how we were doing. The entrees were flavorful, fragrant and delicious. The mango clove martini was fantastic and complimented my lamb dish superbly. Lackluster service aside we will gladly return to this restaurant because the food and drink were so delicious.Special Features:
- Better than expectedEBEBVIPDined on 10/3/2014I am not a buffet fan, but they were not offering their normal menu. It ended up being very good.Special Features:
- careful...bc2234Dined on 10/2/2014After my visit here my credit was illegitimately charged with 2m Indian Rupie... This may very well be a coincidence, but I had to block my credit card and re-issue a new one... BTW, it's the only Indian restaurant I visited.
- frequentfoodieDined on 9/27/2014We really enjoyed Tantric Indian Bistro. The food was very good, the service was excellent, and it is a very comfortable atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the best were the chicken tandoor and the chicken tikka masala. The naan and raita were also excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- GrouponMelRoweDined on 9/12/2014We had a Groupon to Tantric but we have been here at least 3 times prior to this visit. We love their Naan pizza but the night we went they were unable to make it which was a total bummer because that is the sole reason we go! They said they were too busy to make it. I understand that they were busy but we were willing to wait 45 min for the pizza, (it's that good!). But they should put a disclaimer on their menu saying if they are busy then they probably won't be able to make it. Other than that the food was great as usual and my Hendrick's martini was great.Special Features:

- A great findFoodloverVIPDined on 8/9/2014It is hard to find good Indian restaurants. This is surely one of those great finds. The combination of spices and food was delicate and enjoyable. We have already recommended it to others and will continue to do so.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tantric Bistro great for pretheaterZindergirlDined on 8/8/2014Tantric Bistro took great care of us for our pretheater dinner. Ambiance was lovely for meeting a friend from out of town. The food was good and the service excellent. Would definitely go there again for a pre or post theater meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfectly prepared foodKellyIVIPDined on 7/31/2014Generally I like the taste of Indian food, but it is usually too spicy for me (I'm a spice wimp). The chef in this case gave me all the wonderful tastes without the heat. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal!Special Features:
- full bar, decent foodksgshmoopsVIPDined on 7/30/2014This is pretty much the only Indian restaurant I have been to in Boston that has a full bar which is a huge plus. Great drink menu with some nice options! Get the goat cheese and rosemary naan, delicious! Chicken curry was just okay, as was the boy's lamb korma. Atmosphere is lacking, a little dingy, but that is pretty typical of Indian restaurants I think. I would come back if the right occasion came up, but I have definitely had better Indian food in Boston.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Reliably deliciousLloydVIPDined on 5/30/2014The tandoori chicken must be the best in Boston--succulent, fresh, perfectly cooked, and plentiful. The tomato based sauce that accompanies it here is an exceptional comdiment. The food here is always good. The servidce is excellent--considerate and helpful. This time tried the lamb-skewere appetizer and while it was extremely tasty, the meat itself was a little tough and chewy. The only other time I had any reservation about the food at Tantric was with the lamb saag, where the lamb itself was gristly. So I will come back often, but will stick to the chicken and vegeable dishes, which have never let me down.Special Features:

- Delicious as alwaysLloydVIPDined on 5/17/2014[Tantric may very well be the best Indian restaurant in the Boston area. Never disappointing. This time I tried a dish I hadn't had before--the chicken saag. Delicious large pieces of very fresh chicken in a perfectly blended spinach sauce. I generally like my Indian food spicy, but I was sharing the dish with a friend who prefers mild. But this was so tasty and thoroughly satisfying, I didn't miss the heat. And once again, as always, the service was unusually thoughtful and considerate. This is one of the rare restaurants in the theater district that doesn't merely cater to the tourist.Special Features:

This invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing predetermined amounts of a liquid or a soft extrudable material.
In particular, the invention is concerned with a dispenser of the kind, hereinafter referred to as the kind specified, which is adapted to hold a collapsible or deformable container which contains a liquid or a soft extrudable material and has a nozzle through which material can be discharged by squeezing the container, the dispenser being operable to squeeze the container to dispense predetermined amounts of liquid or material.
The dispenser of the invention has been devised for dispensing toothpaste from a container in the form of a collapsible tube which is closed at one end and has a discharge nozzle at its other end, and the following description will therefore be confined to this application of the invention. However, it is to be understood that there is no limitation in this regard since the dispenser may be used to dispense other soft extrudable materials such, for example, as grease, sealing compound and adhesive as well as liquids such, for example, as liquid soap.
According to the invention there is provided a dispenser of the kind specified which is operable to dispense a liquid or a soft extrudable material from a container held by the dispenser, by subjecting the container to hydraulic pressure thereby to squeeze the container.
The dispenser preferably comprises a housing defining a chamber to receive the container, the chamber having an opening for the discharge of liquid or material from the nozzle of the container and being connected to means operable to supply hydraulic fluid under pressure to the chamber. These means preferably comprise a reservoir of hydraulic fluid and a piston operable to force fluid from the reservoir into the chamber.
The dispenser may be designed for mounting in a fixed position, for example on a wall, or it may be hand-held.
The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing which is a vertical section, partly cut away, of one form of dispenser embodying the invention.
The dispenser illustrated in the drawing has been designed for dispensing predetermined amounts of toothpaste from a collapsible tube T which is closed at one end E and has a nozzle N at its other end through which toothpaste can be discharged by squeezing the tube. The nozzle is screw-threaded to receive a closure cap (not shown) which is removed before the tube is placed in the dispenser.
The dispenser comprises an elongate, cylindrical housing 10 formed to provide a chamber 11 at one end in which the tube is mounted, and a chamber 12 at the other end to contain a reservoir of water, the two chambers being separated by a partition 13 formed with two bores 14, 15.
The housing 10 is provided with a mounting plate 16 enabling the dispenser to be mounted in a vertical position, as shown in the drawing, on, for example, a wall in a bathroom, the plate being fixed to the wall by, for example, adhesive or screws. The housing 10 is provided with a longitudinally extending tongue 17 of T shape in cross-section, the limb of the tongue being connected to the housing and the cross-piece being engaged in a longitudinally extending, complementarily shaped groove formed in the mounting plate. The groove is open at its upper end to enable the lower end of the tongue to be engaged in it whereupon the tongue is slid downwardly into position, the lower end of the groove being closed to provide a stop for the lower end of the tongue. The lower end of the tongue is tapered and the lower part of the groove is similarly shaped so that the tongue becomes a tight fit in the groove when it reaches the end of its downwards movement. The mounting plate may be formed to hold a tumbler and tooth brushes.
The lower end of the housing is in the form of a screw-threaded cap 18 formed with a central opening through which the nozzle N of the tube T extends, the opening being provided with an annular seal 19 for sealing engagement with the nozzle so as to prevent water escaping from the chamber 11 through the opening.
A lever 20 is pivotally mounted on the mounting plate 16 and carries a cup 21 and a closure element 22. The lever is movable between a closed position as shown in the drawing in which the closure element 22 closes the orifice of the nozzle N and the cup 21 encloses the nozzle, and an open position in which it is clear of the nozzle so that a quantity of toothpaste can be discharged from the nozzle on to a tooth brush. The lever is held in each position by a spring or other means (not shown) and it has a finger piece at its free end enabling it to be flipped from one position to the other. In a modification the lever 20 is mounted on the housing.
The dispenser is fitted with an initially separate pump unit 23 comprising a body 24 having two cylindrical portions 25 and 26 containing one-way valves 27 and 28 respectively, and a further cylindrical portion 29 which forms a cylinder for a piston 30 formed integrally with a cap 31 mounted for vertical sliding movement on the upper end of the housing 10. The piston is provided at its lower end with a sealing element 32 in sealing engagement with the cylinder. The cap 31 is guided in its vertical movement by two or more projections 33 provided on the cap at a regular circumferential spacing, the projections being engaged in vertical grooves formed in the upper part of the housing.
The cap 31 is movable between a lower position, as shown in the drawing, and an upper position the limit of which is determined by abutment of the projections 33 with stops 34 provided at the upper ends of the grooves in the housing. The cap is urged towards its upper position by a spring 35 interposed between the top of the cap and an annular projection 36 formed inside the housing. The housing is formed at the lower ends of the grooves with shallow bayonet slots with which the projections 33 can be engaged by turning the cap 31 to lock the cap in its lower position.
The cap 31 is formed with an opening 37 to facilitate filling of the chamber 12 with water. This opening may be provided with a removable closure.
The pump unit 24 is mounted in the reservoir chamber 12 with its cylindrical portion 25 extending into the bore 14. The lower end of a vent pipe 38 the upper end of which communicates with the interior of the chamber, extends into the bore 15 and contains a one-way valve 39. The portion 25, the pipe 38 and the bores 14, 15 may be screw threaded or the portion and the pipe may be a friction fit in their respective bores.
The dispenser is arranged to operate as follows.
To prepare the dispenser for use, the housing 10 is detached from the mounting plate 16 and the cap 18 is removed. The cap is fitted to the tube by screwing the nozzle of the tube into the seal 19 until the shoulder around the nozzle abuts the seal. If necessary a plug may be inserted into the nozzle to prevent toothpaste escaping from the tube during fitting of the tube. The tube is then inserted into the chamber 11 and the cap is screwed tightly onto the housing 10, clamping a sealing ring 41 between the cap and the housing. The screw thread of the cap is a multi-start thread which affords strength and requires only minimum turning of the cap so that the cap can be easily removed and refitted. The external circumferential surface of the cap is knurled or ribbed to facilitate turning of the cap. The housing 10 is then secured to the mounting plate 16 and the lever 20 is moved to its closed position.
The cap 31 is locked in its lower position and the chamber 12 is then filled with water through the opening 37 to a level just beneath the upper end of the pipe 38. During filling, water flows into the chamber 11 via valves 28 and 27 and air is vented from the chamber through the valve 39 and the pipe 38. A small quantity of water also flows into a pump chamber 40 of a predetermined volume provided in the pump unit 23.
The top of the chamber 11 is domed with its highest point at the bore 15 to ensure that all the air is expelled from the chamber and no air bubbles are formed which could affect the hydraulic pressure.
When the user requires to dispense a predetermined quantity of toothpaste, he or she flips the lever 20 to its open position and simply depresses the cap 31 against the action of the spring 35, the cap having previously been released from its locked lower position. The resultant downward movement of the piston 30 in its cylinder 29 in performance of one stroke forces the quantity of water in the pump chamber 40 through the valve 27 into the chamber 11. The hydraulic pressure in the chamber 11 is therefore increased and this has the effect of squeezing the tube T to cause an amount of toothpaste to be discharged from the nozzle N. The valve 39 prevents water escaping from the chamber 11 into the vent pipe 38. The hydraulic pressure in the chamber 11 acting on the tube also presses the tube into sealing engagement with the seal 19.
The cap 31 automatically returns to its upper position under the action of the spring 35 and as the piston 30 moves upwardly in performance of the other stroke, it draws more water from the reservoir 12 through the valve 28 into the pump chamber 40 ready for the next operative storke. The cap therefore operates as a manually operable plunger. The valve 27 prevents water being drawn from the chamber 11.
It has been found that successive operations of the dispenser result in the tube T being collapsed gradually in a direction from its closed end E towards the nozzle N. One advantage of the invention is that the total amount of toothpaste extruded from the tube by the dispenser is greater than the amount which would usually be extruded if the tube were simply squeezed by hand, and in tests it has been found that only a small amount of toothpaste remains in the nozzle. As compared with this conventional way in which a tube of toothpaste is used, there is a saving of time in that it is not necessary to pick up the tube, remove its screw cap, squeeze the tube and then replace the cap whenever toothpaste is required. The dispenser also avoids the annoyance caused by a tube of toothpaste leaking or its cap being left off, resulting in a mess in the wash-hand basin. The dispenser is hygenic and economical since it may be designed to hold a large tube of toothpaste. The novelty of using the dispenser will encourage children to clean their teeth.
The dispenser is of a simple and inexpensive design. Its component parts may be moulded of a suitable plastics material.
Of particular importance to the suppliers of toothpaste is that the dispenser can be used with tubes made of plastics materials instead of metal tubes as are usually provided, plastics tubes being cheaper than metal tubes.

Positive elective CS after 2 traumatic births
Started by samshine , Apr 10 2012 08:16 PM
14 replies to this topic
Posted 10 April 2012 - 08:16 PM
So I know an elective CS birth story is a boring read for most but this birth was very special and healing for us and I needed to write it, and now want to share it For anyone who reads, sorry for the length.
This elective was for our 3rd child. Our first was a traumatic VB with lots of complications – shoulder dystocia, 3rd degree tear, ventouse birth, DD requiring resus, retained placenta requiring MROP under GA, PPH of 3 litres requiring blood transfusions to name just a few . Our second was an emergency CS after labouring until 10cm, an epidural that failed during incision in the CS, was eventually done under GA and another PPH requiring blood transfusions. Needless to say we were very apprehensive about another birth experience and sought opinions before TTC on whether it was advisable (due to PPHs) and what plan we should have for a third birth, the outcome of which was that due to a history of shoulder dystocia a CS was the safest bet.
During my pregnancy my ob repeatedly said she thought I would be amazed by how 'nice' birth could be, having an elective after my previous experiences. I was hopeful but doubtful, however 3 weeks on the other side I know exactly what she means and can say for us, this time, an elective was an amazing and positive experience.
The whole process was very relaxed. From the moment we arrived in the anaesthetic bay the mood was light. I work where I was giving birth, so that definitely helped. I knew at least some of the faces at every stop – maternity, anaesthetic bay, theatre, recovery – it was like being in the hands of friends. Prior to starting, we handed our camera over to our fab anaesthetic nurse who proved himself to be an awesome photographer as well as nurse. The cannula was put in and IV started and I was positioned for the local for the spinal. I had been fortunate enough to choose my anaesthetist and when I had chosen him my ob mentioned she found him very skilled and quick at inserting spinals – he certainly proved that to be true, within seconds it was in and I felt the warm, electric shock like feeling I'd been told about. Straight away I was helped to lie down, betadine was being applied to my stomach, calf compressors put on and catheter inserted. All this time I was sure that I could still move my legs but each time I tried, I had less movement. I did have a few minutes of mild panic, where I worried that the spinal would fail as the epi had in my last section, and was aware of the rate of my pulse elevated through the monitor, but I concentrated on calming myself and it passed quickly. I actually found the spinal a surreal sensation – I could feel all touch but no pain.
My ob asked us if we wanted to watch the surgery, which we did so the drapes were left down. Within seconds she was in and attempting to get the baby. Her assistant put a lot of pressure on my upper abdo to push the baby out (the analogy that had been described to me of feeling like a washing machine in my stomach was apt) but due to the baby's big size it was resisting! To pass the time the ob took last minute bets on gender. DH changed his mind at this point from boy to declaring with certainty it was a girl. As she furrowed around she also asked us if our others had been born with a shock of dark hair. DH and I looked at each other in surprise: our first two are redheads and we had presumed we only made them that way. She also commented that this one was looking to give its brother a run for his money with size (DS was 9lb 9oz). A few minutes passed where the ob struggled to free the baby's head, eventually forceps were used and she was successful. As they lifted the baby out and brought it up for us to see I was shocked by both the size –the gorgeous face was amazingly chubby (probably enhanced by the its squashed and bruised appearance) and the generous amounts of dark hair. I kept saying 'oh my god, it's huge, oh my god look at it's HAIR' over and over. The ob said 'Samshine are you going to look at what it is?!... she said to me 'it's a girl' (DH later said due to swelling he thought it was a boy).
Our little girl was quickly taken over to be checked by the paed while the ob got on with the business side of things. She had a little difficulty removing the placenta and commented that it was huge. I heard her say to her assistant 'this placenta is nearly as difficult to remove as the baby'… When she removed it she laughed to me it was so big they couldn't fit it in the dish for the placenta. She remarked that between the baby, huge placenta, and lots of amniotic fluid she reckoned I had instantly lost well over 10kg and joked how much lighter I would be feeling when I next stood up. There was some post partum bleeding at this stage and the ob later told me my uterus was very vascular but overall I only lost a litre of blood– an above average amount but a far cry from our previous PPHs. By this stage, DD was back to me. I had chosen our paed as he was very pro skin to skin at Caesars so she was placed on my upper chest. The drapes were raised for closing the wound so I wasn't able to fee d due to how high I had to hold her to allow this, much to DDs frustration as she angrily screamed for the breast for a full 30-40 minutes. Another nurse friend had told me if I wanted to watch them close that I would be able to see in the mirrors surrounding the theatre lights above me, so I did keep an eye on things up there, but mostly during this time I kept staring at her in wonder, she was beautiful but so different to the other two. DH and I kept laughing at her size and chubbiness and gender, and the ob had to ask me to stop laughing as it was making the stitching difficult!
Eventually we were out in recovery, where DD could finally – and enthusiastically did – feed. I was put on a syntocin infusion due to my history of PPH's. DD and DH stayed with me for the entire recovery experience, where DH and I just kept looking in adoration at this person we had made. Half an hour later we were back on maternity. It had all seemed so civilised and quick. She was weighed and turned out to be only 5g smaller than her brother… but 4cm shorter probably explaining why she looked so chubby to us. We treasured some time just the 3 of us then rang family to let them know. DD1 and DS came to meet their little sister and were absolutely besotted by her, and still are 3 weeks later. Later that afternoon, DH and I were alone with her again and finally got around to the business of naming her. We had been thinking boy all along so hadn't even been talking girls names for several months. As we disagree completely on names, we had told staff she might be nameless for days, however the moment we started discussing it one name we had thrown about much earlier in the pregnancy came to my mind and as soon as I suggested it DH said he had been thinking the exact same name. So Clara it was.
My recovery that day was painful, mostly due to the effects of the infusion which cause a lot of cramping/ contraction like pain similar to severe afterpains (speaking of which afterpains with a 3rd child are enough to veto a fourth!). That night there was talk of a blood transfusion, which Iuckily was able to avoid, and although I went home with a lower haemoglobin than with my previous two PPHs, I felt so much better this time. From Day 1, recovery was comfortable and rapid. Like with DS despite blood loss my milk came in early, on the night of Day 1 – within 36 hours - and DD has been feeding voraciously since!
Our experience was so fantastic. While in my ideal world I would not have given birth by elective C/Section it turned out my most wonderful ideal birth turned out to be this way, if that makes sense. It was a healing experience for us for birth and the ensuing days to be a time solely of happiness and elation and getting to know our baby rather than recovering both physically and mentally from a traumatic experience. Due to the positive nature of her birth, the ensuing days spent after getting to know Clara were anxiety free and blissful. I was on a bit of a high – and still am. She is the perfect final installment to our family.
So that's the story of Clara, born 15th March 2012, 4.338kg (9lb 9oz), 52.5cm… Our amazing restorative birth, albeit by CS.

Congratulations on the safe arrival of Clara. It's nice to hear a positive birth story, no matter how it was achieved.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm heading in for an elective c-section (after emergency one three years ago) in the morning, so you have helped calm any last minute nerves that may've been stirring.
Congrats on the safe and happy arrival of Clara!

Congratulations Samshine on the birt of your little girl. Thanks for sharing your story, that is beautiful. Lovely that you were able to have skin to skin and hold her straight after the birth and have her with you in recovery.
I remember reading about your first two births in a thread about MROP (I have also experienced this). I am very happy to read that you had such a wonderful experience this time around.

Congratulations on the birth of Clara.
That is wonderful that it was such a good experience for you all.
Posted 11 April 2012 - 11:15 AM
What a great story... not boring at all!
I had an ECS for my first birth and will have electives for any subsequent births, so most certainly don't think that a CS birth is any less then a vaginal!
Posted 11 April 2012 - 09:21 PM
Loved reading your birth story, thanks so much for sharing it. It really helps me to hear how positive a 3rd c/s can be, no matter what your previous experiences were.
Again, I'm thrilled for you, it must be so cathartic for you. Congratulations on the safe and happy arrival of gorgeous Clara.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:05 PM
I haven't been on here much lately so didn't even know you were expecting you 3rd. I too remember you from a MROP thread years ago (I had it with DS1), and always remember what a great help you and the other ladies were that posted in there.
Congratulations on the healing birth of Clara. I am so happy you had such an amazing birthing experience. She is just beautiful (love the chubbyness).

Congratulations! So happy you had such a wonderful birth. What a fabulous ob you had - promoting skin to skin. Clara is gorgeous. Her name is beautiful too. Enjoy!
I think all birth stories are beautiful. I am so glad you had such a wonderful birth. Please do not apologise for telling a "boring" elective Caesar. I think most of us need to hear it. I tried a VBAC. 60 plus hours ending in c-sec. Wish I took the elective!!!!

Piedmont Community Lacrosse Association
A new dawn rises on the local landscape of recreational lacrosse. The Triad's five existing leagues have banded together under the newly formed Piedmont Community Lacrosse Association (PCLA). The charter member organizations are TYLA, WS LAX, the Oak Ridge Youth Association, Kernerville P & R Lacrosse, and Burlington P & R Lacrosse. This governing body will primarily be responsible for mediating any inter-league matters, scheduling all league member games, and enforcing all PCLA policies and regulations.
The PCLA is headed by a eight (8) member board and will employ one director to facilitate the association's mission. The primary mission of the PCLA will be to create uniformity amongst its league members creating a competitive and equitable environment. The PCLA will also be a leader in the effort to foster and develop recreational lacrosse across the Piedmont region of North Carolina, bringing the sport to new communities and encouraging young boys and girls to give the sport a try. Lastly, the PCLA will also help to build the volunteer infrastructure of coaches and provide training and educational opportunities for those who support member leagues.
Dave Maxson will be serving as the first PCLA director. His involvement with the sport is deep-rooted as a player, a coach, and a NC high school official. His previous experience as the ORYA president and his lacrosse community ties made him a unanimous choice for the position. The PCLA board has representation from all five (5) league members and will be responsible for drafting all PCLA policies and guidelines.
Boys Lacrosse
Leagues and tournaments should field U15, U13, U11 and U9 teams based on the age of the player, with Aug. 31 the cutoff date. For example, all players on a U13 team must be 12 years old or younger on Aug. 31 of the preceding year.

Symbian Foundation launch: What members said
Summary: Representatives of the major mobile-phone manufacturers joined mobile-operating-system vendors and even operators on Tuesday to announce the Symbian Foundation
3 of 5Image
Mats Lindoff, chief technology officer of Sony Ericsson, said the Symbian platform will be released under the Eclipse Public License. "Moving the code to open source will engage the broader community to participate in future development and innovations," he said. "If you are an enthusiast [or] developer [the tools and the licensing] will be absolutely free. To develop an application on the platform, you do not need to be a member [of the Symbian Foundation]."
Alain Mutricy, senior vice president of Motorola, said the Symbian Foundation will bring the different Symbian user interfaces and application frameworks together. "The Symbian world will then be unified around one common platform. It will enable everyone to accelerate the deployment of applications. The open Symbian ecosystem, now unified through the foundation, will become richer and stronger, especially when the foundation software becomes open source. The foundation will be open to anyone willing to contribute. It will attract more developers, more suppliers and more OEMs, so carriers will see a greater opportunity."
Mutricy went on to outline the timeline for the Symbian Foundation. "In the first half of 2009, we expect to launch the Symbian Foundation with all assets made available to members," he said. "The first complete Symbian Foundation release can be expected during 2010. Devices up to this point will continue to be developed using Symbian, Series 60, UIQ, etc, available from the foundation royalty free."

"My finacee loves this card I would you this as the save the dates cards because the template lets everyone knows to expect something but elegant and nice."
"The invitations were beautiful! I had ordered samples from here and about 5 other places. When I asked friends to help me choose, they always narrowed it down to WPD cards only. Everyone called me to tell me how pretty the invitations were. Having the stylist to check everything and make necessary changes was also really helpful. The invitation was a little pricey, but well worth the cost."
"Would recommend this design to friends. We love it. We chose the purple colour, pearl white shimmer and rounded edges which I think all look great. We have had so many compliments. WDP were great to deal with. We requested a number of formatting changes to our invite, which WPD all did first go, we did not need to request any more changes."
"The quality of the invitation is excellent. The texture of the paper, and shadings of the colors are beautiful. Loved the mixture of type styles. Very pleased with this selection."
"We were extremely happy with the finished product of our invitations and RSVP cards. The paper was high quality with a nice texture and the colours were exactly what we were hoping for for our winter wedding. We have had a lot of guests commenting on how much they love the invitations. We also had a great experience with the customer service. We requested that the layout be changed to a more formal and traditionally worded invite. The proofs were completed perfectly and we received them the next day after submitting. As well, the invites arrived well in advance of the suggested delivery date. All in all, a great experience!"

Sheen supports sons' removal from ex-wife's care
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Charlie Sheen supports a decision by child protective services to remove his twin sons from the custody of his ex-wife and have them live temporarily with another of his exes, actress Denise Richards, his spokesman said Friday.
Larry Solters wrote in a statement that Sheen will participate in court proceedings related to ex-wife Brooke Mueller's custody of their 4-year-old sons. Mueller and Sheen were married in 2008 and divorced in 2011.
"He knows Max and Bob are safe and in a stable, loving environment with Denise and the boys' sisters," Solters wrote. "Charlie will fully cooperate and fully participate in all proceedings."
Celebrity website RadarOnline.com reported Friday that the twins were removed from Mueller's custody by the Department of Children and Family Services.
Mueller has struggled with addiction for years, but it remains unclear what prompted officials to remove her sons from her care. The agency's investigations are confidential, and Mueller and Richards' representatives have declined to comment.
Sheen and Richards have two daughters from their marriage, which ended in 2006.

Wyoming gov.: Don't examine global effects of coal
Apr 26, 2013
By BEN NEARY
Of the Associated Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is asking the White House to disregard pressure from the governors of Washington and Oregon and refuse to evaluate the effects of greenhouse gases that would be emitted by exporting U.S. coal to Asia from ports in the Northwest.
Mead announced Friday he has written to the White House's Council on Environmental Quality stating it would be inappropriate to analyze under the National Environmental Policy Act the effects of burning U.S. coal overseas.
The NEPA law requires detailed analysis of the environmental effects of federal agency actions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing three proposed port projects that would accommodate coal exports, one in Oregon and two in Washington.
Wyoming is the nation's leading coal-producing state, and state officials are concerned about falling domestic demand for coal as a result of global warming concerns. State officials are pushing to secure ports in the Northwest to allow coal exports to Asia.
Many in the Northwest have expressed concern about the prospect of heavy train traffic and attendant coal dust, noise and other disturbances, as well as the ultimate emissions from burning the coal, if exports are allowed. Proponents, however, have said the exports will create jobs and generate millions in tax revenues.
"Coal will provide electricity across the globe in the coming years, and I believe these export facilities will power economic growth here in America," Mead stated.
"I support a thorough, site-specific environmental and economic analysis of these projects," Mead said. "I support addressing all of the concerns and questions raised by the citizens of Oregon and Washington. However, I do not support the novel use of NEPA as a political opinion piece on global climate change."
In a joint letter last month, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber asked White House to require a full examination of the effect on global air quality of shipping up to 140 million tons of coal a year from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana overseas.
Noting the coal exports could result in 240 million tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions, the Democratic governors wrote it is "hard to conceive that the federal government would ignore the inevitable consequences of coal leasing and coal export."
"We believe the decisions to continue and expand coal leasing from federal lands and authorize the export of that coal are likely to lead to long-term investments in coal generation in Asia, with air quality and climate impacts in the United States that dwarf almost any other action the federal government could take in the foreseeable future," they wrote.
Mead stated in his letter that Inslee and Kitzhaber didn't propose NEPA analysis of the environmental effect of exporting products produced in the Northwest, such as timber.
"Rather, their letter targets one commodity — coal — and the producers, transporters and workers who deal with it," Mead wrote. "This undermines the fundamental fairness of the process and potentially sets U.S. regions, states and resources at odds with each other."
