1 Guidance
The following guidance is based on the best available evidence. The full guideline gives details of the methods and the evidence used to develop the guidance (see section 5 for details).
In the recommendations, 'children' refers to anyone younger than 18 years. 'Young people' is used when referring to teenagers at the older end of this age group.
Staff who advise people on diet, weight and activity – both inside and outside the NHS – need appropriate training, experience and enthusiasm to motivate people to change. Some will need general training (for example, in health promotion), while those who provide interventions for obesity (such as dietary treatment and physical training) will need more specialised training. In the recommendations, the term 'specific' is used if the training will be in addition to staff's basic training. The term 'relevant' is used for training that could be part of basic professional training or in addition to it.
1.1 Public health recommendations
The public health recommendations are divided according to their key audiences and the settings they apply to:
the public
the NHS
local authorities and partners in the community
early years settings
self-help, commercial and community programmes.
Some of the recommendations are at a strategic level (primarily for those involved in planning and management of service provision and policies), and others are at delivery level (for individual staff, teams and team managers).
Section 3 has information about the status of NICE guidance in different settings, and links to tools to help with implementing the recommendations and meeting training needs. In many cases, implementation will involve organisations working in partnership.
1.1.1 Recommendations for the public
Although body weight and weight gain are influenced by many factors, including people's genetic makeup and the environment in which they live, the individual decisions people make also affect whether they maintain a healthy weight.
A person needs to be in 'energy balance' to maintain a healthy weight – that is, their energy intake (from food) should not exceed the energy expended through everyday activities and exercise.
People tend to gain weight gradually, and may not notice this happening. Many people accept weight gain with age as inevitable but the main cause is gradual changes in their everyday lives, such as a tendency to being less active, or small changes to diet. People also often gain weight during particular stages of their life, such as during and after pregnancy, the menopause or while stopping smoking.
Small, sustained improvements to daily habits help people maintain a healthy weight and have wider health benefits – such as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. But making changes can be difficult and is often hindered by conflicting advice on what changes to make.
Recommendations for all
188.8.131.52 Everyone should aim to maintain or achieve a healthy weight, to improve their health and reduce the risk of diseases associated with overweight and obesity, such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis and some cancers.
22.214.171.124 People should follow the strategies listed in box 1, which may make it easier to maintain a healthy weight by balancing 'calories in' (from food and drink) and 'calories out' (from being physically active). Sources of advice and information are listed in appendix D.
Box 1 Strategies to help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight Diet
22.214.171.124 All adults should be encouraged to periodically check their weight, waist measurement or a simple alternative, such as the fit of their clothes.
188.8.131.52 People who have any queries or concerns about their – or their family's – diet, activity levels or weight should discuss these with a health professional such as a nurse, GP, pharmacist, health visitor or school nurse. They could also consult reliable sources of information, such as those listed in appendix D.
Recommendation for adults who wish to lose weight
The following recommendation applies to adults only. Children and young people concerned about their weight should speak to a nurse or their GP.
18.104.22.168 Weight loss programmes (including commercial or self-help groups, slimming books or websites) are recommended only if they:
are based on a balanced healthy diet
encourage regular physical activity
expect people to lose no more than 0.5–1 kg (1–2 lb) a week.
Programmes that do not meet these criteria are unlikely to help people maintain a healthy weight in the long term.
People with certain medical conditions – such as type 2 diabetes, heart failure or uncontrolled hypertension or angina – should check with their general practice or hospital specialist before starting a weight loss programme.
Recommendations for parents and carers
126.96.36.199 In addition to the recommendations in box 1, parents and carers should consider following the advice in box to help children establish healthy behaviours and maintain or work towards a healthy weight. These strategies may have other benefits – for example, monitoring the amount of time children spend watching television may help reduce their exposure to inappropriate programmes or advertisements.
Box 2 Helping children and young people maintain or work towards a healthy weight Diet
1.1.2 The NHS
The following recommendations are made specifically for health professionals and managers in the NHS, but may also be relevant to health professionals in other organisations. Recommendations in other sections may also be relevant for NHS health professionals working with local authorities and other organisations.
These recommendations are for:
senior managers, GPs, commissioners of care and directors of public health
staff in primary and secondary care, particularly those providing interventions, including public health practitioners, nurses, behavioural psychologists, physiotherapists, GPs, pharmacists, trained counsellors, registered dietitians, public health nutritionists and specifically trained exercise specialists.
With specific training, staff such as pharmacy assistants or support staff in general practices may also be able to give advice and support.
Implementing these recommendations will contribute to the English target to halt the annual rise in obesity in children younger than 11 years by 2010, and similar initiatives in Wales. Recommendations can be delivered through local strategic partnerships and other local agreements and partnerships.
Section 3 has links to tools to help with implementing the recommendations and meeting training needs. In many cases, implementation will involve organisations working together in partnership.
Primary care staff should engage with target communities, consult on how and where to deliver interventions and form key partnerships and ensure that interventions are person centred.
Tailoring advice to address potential barriers (such as cost, personal tastes, availability, time, views of family and community members) is particularly important for people from black and minority ethnic groups, people in vulnerable groups (such as those on low incomes) and people at life stages with increased risk for weight gain (such as during and after pregnancy, menopause or smoking cessation). Many of the recommendations below also highlight the need to provide ongoing support – this can be in person, or by phone, mail or internet as appropriate.
Overarching recommendation
126.96.36.199 Managers and health professionals in all primary care settings should ensure that preventing and managing obesity is a priority at both strategic and delivery levels. Dedicated resources should be allocated for action.
Strategy: for senior managers and budget holders
188.8.131.52 In their role as employers, NHS organisations should set an example in developing public health policies to prevent and manage obesity by following existing guidance and (in England) the local obesity strategy. In particular:
on-site catering should promote healthy food and drink choices (for example by signs, posters, pricing and positioning of products)
there should be policies, facilities and information that promote physical activity, for example, through travel plans, by providing showers and secure cycle parking and by using signposting and improved décor to encourage stair use.
220.127.116.11 All primary care settings should ensure that systems are in place to implement the local obesity strategy. This should enable health professionals with specific training, including public health practitioners working singly and as part of multidisciplinary teams, to provide interventions to prevent and manage obesity.
188.8.131.52 All primary care settings should:
address the training needs of staff involved in preventing and managing obesity
allocate adequate time and space for staff to take action
enhance opportunities for health professionals to engage with a range of organisations and to develop multidisciplinary teams.
220.127.116.11 Local health agencies should identify appropriate health professionals and ensure that they receive training in:
the health benefits and the potential effectiveness of interventions to prevent obesity, increase activity levels and improve diet (and reduce energy intake)
the best practice approaches in delivering such interventions, including tailoring support to meet people's needs over the long term
the use of motivational and counselling techniques.
Training will need to address barriers to health professionals providing support and advice, particularly concerns about the effectiveness of interventions, people's receptiveness and ability to change and the impact of advice on relationships with patients.
Delivery: for all health professionals
22.214.171.124 Interventions to increase physical activity should focus on activities that fit easily into people's everyday life (such as walking), should be tailored to people's individual preferences and circumstances and should aim to improve people's belief in their ability to change (for example, by verbal persuasion, modelling exercise behaviour and discussing positive effects). Ongoing support (including appropriate written materials) should be given in person or by phone, mail or internet.
126.96.36.199 Interventions to improve diet (and reduce energy intake) should be multicomponent (for example, including dietary modification, targeted advice, family involvement and goal setting), be tailored to the individual and provide ongoing support.
188.8.131.52 Interventions may include promotional, awareness-raising activities, but these should be part of a long-term, multicomponent intervention rather than one-off activities (and should be accompanied by targeted follow-up with different population groups).
220.127.116.11 Health professionals should discuss weight, diet and activity with people at times when weight gain is more likely, such as during and after pregnancy, the menopause and while stopping smoking.
18.104.22.168 All actions aimed at preventing excess weight gain and improving diet (including reducing energy intake) and activity levels in children and young people should actively involve parents and carers.
Delivery: for health professionals in primary care
188.8.131.52 All interventions to support smoking cessation should:
ensure people are given information on services that provide advice on prevention and management of obesity if appropriate
give people who are concerned about their weight general advice on long-term weight management, in particular encouraging increased physical activity.
Delivery: for health professionals in broader community settings
The recommendations in this section are for health professionals working in broader community settings, including healthy living centres and Sure Start programmes.
188.8.131.52 All community programmes to prevent obesity, increase activity levels and improve diet (including reducing energy intake) should address the concerns of local people from the outset. Concerns might include the availability of services and the cost of changing behaviour, the expectation that healthier foods do not taste as good, dangers associated with walking and cycling and confusion over mixed messages in the media about weight, diet and activity.
184.108.40.206 Health professionals should work with shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and voluntary community services to promote healthy eating choices that are consistent with existing good practice guidance and to provide supporting information.
126.96.36.199 Health professionals should support and promote community schemes and facilities that improve access to physical activity, such as walking or cycling routes, combined with tailored information, based on an audit of local needs.
188.8.131.52 Health professionals should support and promote behavioural change programmes along with tailored advice to help people who are motivated to change become more active, for example by walking or cycling instead of driving or taking the bus.
22.214.171.124 Families of children and young people identified as being at high risk of obesity – such as children with at least one obese parent – should be offered ongoing support from an appropriately trained health professional. Individual as well as family-based interventions should be considered, depending on the age and maturity of the child.
Delivery: for health professionals working with preschool, childcare and family settings
22.214.171.124 Any programme to prevent obesity in preschool, childcare or family settings should incorporate a range of components (rather than focusing on parental education alone), such as:
diet – interactive cookery demonstrations, videos and group discussions on practical issues such as meal planning and shopping for food and drink
physical activity – interactive demonstrations, videos and group discussions on practical issues such as ideas for activities, opportunities for active play, safety and local facilities.
126.96.36.199 Family programmes to prevent obesity, improve diet (and reduce energy intake) and/or increase physical activity levels should provide ongoing, tailored support and incorporate a range of behaviour change techniques (see section 1.2.4). Programmes should have a clear aim to improve weight management.
1.1.3 Local authorities and partners in the community
The environment in which people live may influence their ability to maintain a healthy weight – this includes access to safe spaces to be active and to an affordable, healthy diet. Planning decisions may therefore have an impact on the health of the local population. Fundamental concerns about safety, transport links and services need to be addressed. Effective interventions often require multidisciplinary teams and the support of a broad range of organisations.
These recommendations apply to:
senior managers and budget holders in local authorities and community partnerships, who manage, plan and commission services such as transport, sports and leisure and open spaces (not just those with an explicit public health role)
staff providing specific community-based interventions.
Implementation of these recommendations is likely to contribute to local area agreements and other local agreements and targets. The need to work in partnership should be reflected in the integrated regional strategies and reviewed regularly.
Recommendations that refer to the planning of buildings, and stair use in particular, should be implemented in the context of existing building regulations and policies, particularly in relation to access for disabled people.
Section 3 has links to tools to help with implementing the recommendations, meeting training needs, evaluating the impact of action and working in partnership with other organisations.
Overarching recommendation
126.96.36.199 As part of their roles in regulation, enforcement and promoting wellbeing, local authorities, primary care trusts (PCTs) or local health boards and local strategic partnerships should ensure that preventing and managing obesity is a priority for action – at both strategic and delivery levels – through community interventions, policies and objectives. Dedicated resources should be allocated for action.
Strategy: for senior managers and budget holders
126.96.36.199 Local authorities should set an example in developing policies to prevent obesity in their role as employers, by following existing guidance and (in England) the local obesity strategy.
On-site catering should promote healthy food and drink choices (for example by signs, posters, pricing and positioning of products).
Physical activity should be promoted, for example through travel plans, by providing showers and secure cycle parking and using signposting and improved décor to encourage stair use.
220.127.116.11 Local authorities (including planning, transport and leisure services) should engage with the local community, to identify environmental barriers to physical activity and healthy eating. This should involve:
an audit, with the full range of partners including PCTs or local health boards, residents, businesses and institutions
assessing (ideally by doing a health impact assessment) the effect of their policies on the ability of their communities to be physically active and eat a healthy diet; the needs of subgroups should be considered because barriers may vary by, for example, age, gender, social status, ethnicity, religion and whether an individual has a disability.
Barriers identified in this way should be addressed.
18.104.22.168 Local authorities should work with local partners, such as industry and voluntary organisations, to create and manage more safe spaces for incidental and planned physical activity, addressing as a priority any concerns about safety, crime and inclusion, by:
providing facilities such as cycling and walking routes, cycle parking, area maps and safe play areas
making streets cleaner and safer, through measures such as traffic calming, congestion charging, pedestrian crossings, cycle routes, lighting and walking schemes
ensuring buildings and spaces are designed to encourage people to be more physically active (for example, through positioning and signing of stairs, entrances and walkways)
considering in particular people who require tailored information and support, especially inactive, vulnerable groups.
126.96.36.199 Local authorities should facilitate links between health professionals and other organisations to ensure that local public policies improve access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity.
Delivery: specific interventions
220.127.116.11 Local authorities and transport authorities should provide tailored advice such as personalised travel plans to increase active travel among people who are motivated to change.
18.104.22.168 Local authorities, through local strategic partnerships, should encourage all local shops, supermarkets and caterers to promote healthy food and drink, for example by signs, posters, pricing and positioning of products, in line with existing guidance and (in England) with the local obesity strategy.
126.96.36.199 All community programmes to prevent obesity, increase activity levels and improve diet (and reduce energy intake) should address the concerns of local people. Concerns might include the availability of services and the cost of changing behaviour, the expectation that healthier foods do not taste as good, dangers associated with walking and cycling and confusion over mixed messages in the media about weight, diet and activity.
184.108.40.206 Community-based interventions should include awareness-raising promotional activities, but these should be part of a longer-term, multicomponent intervention rather than one-off activities.
1.1.4 Early years settings
The preschool years (ages 2–5) are a key time for shaping lifelong attitudes and behaviours, and childcare providers can create opportunities for children to be active and develop healthy eating habits, and can act as positive role models.
These recommendations apply to:
directors of children's services
children and young people's strategic partnerships
staff, including senior management, in childcare and other early years settings
children's trusts, children's centres, Healthy Start and Sure Start teams
trainers working with childcare staff, including home-based childminders and nannies.
Implementing these recommendations will contribute to meeting the target to halt the annual rise in obesity in children younger than 11 years by 2010 and to implementing the England and Wales National Service Frameworks for children, young people and maternity services (the Children's NSFs for England and Wales), and 'Every child matters' and similar initiatives in Wales.
Section 3 has links to tools to help with implementing the recommendations and meeting training needs.
For all settings
126.96.36.199 All nurseries and childcare facilities should ensure that preventing excess weight gain and improving children's diet and activity levels are priorities.
18.104.22.168 All action aimed at preventing excess weight gain, improving diet (and reducing energy intake) and increasing activity levels in children should involve parents and carers.
188.8.131.52 Nurseries and other childcare facilities should:
minimise sedentary activities during play time, and provide regular opportunities for enjoyable active play and structured physical activity sessions
implement Department for Education and Skills, Food Standards Agency and Caroline Walker Trust[2] guidance on food procurement and healthy catering.
18.104.22.168 Staff should ensure that children eat regular, healthy meals in a pleasant, sociable environment free from other distractions (such as television). Children should be supervised at mealtimes and, if possible, staff should eat with children.
1.1.5 Schools
During their school years, people often develop life-long patterns of behaviour that affect their ability to keep a healthy weight. Schools play an important role in this by providing opportunities for children to be active and develop healthy eating habits, and by providing role models. Improving children's diet and activity levels may also have wider benefits: regular physical activity is associated with higher academic achievement, better health in childhood and later life, higher motivation at school and reduced anxiety and depression.
There is no evidence that school-based interventions to prevent obesity, improve diet and increase activity levels foster eating disorders or extreme dieting or exercise behaviour.
These recommendations apply to:
directors of children's services
staff, including senior management, in schools
school governors
health professionals working in or with schools
children and young people's strategic partnerships
children's trusts.
Implementing these recommendations will contribute to meeting the target to halt the annual rise in obesity in children younger than 11 years by 2010 and implementing the Children's NSFs for England and Wales, the National Healthy Schools Programme (and the Welsh Network of Healthy Schools Schemes), and 'Every child matters' and similar initiatives in Wales.
Section 3 has links to tools to help with implementing the recommendations and meeting training needs.
Recommendations that refer to the planning of buildings, and stair use in particular, should be implemented in the context of existing building regulations and policies, particularly in relation to access for disabled people.
Overarching recommendation
220.127.116.11 All schools should ensure that improving the diet and activity levels of children and young people is a priority for action to help prevent excess weight gain. A whole-school approach should be used to develop life-long healthy eating and physical activity practices.
Strategy: for head teachers and chairs of governors
220.127.116.11 Head teachers and chairs of governors, in collaboration with parents and pupils, should assess the whole school environment and ensure that the ethos of all school policies helps children and young people to maintain a healthy weight, eat a healthy diet and be physically active, in line with existing standards and guidance. This includes policies relating to building layout and recreational spaces, catering (including vending machines) and the food and drink children bring into school[3], the taught curriculum (including PE), school travel plans and provision for cycling, and policies relating to the National Healthy Schools Programme and extended schools.
22.214.171.124 Head teachers and chairs of governors should ensure that teaching, support and catering staff receive training on the importance of healthy-school policies and how to support their implementation.
22.214.171.124 Schools should establish links with relevant organisations and professionals, including health professionals and those involved in local strategies and partnerships to promote sports for children and young people.
22.214.171.124 Interventions should be sustained, multicomponent and address the whole school, including after-school clubs and other activities. Short-term interventions and one-off events are insufficient on their own and should be part of a long-term integrated programme.
Delivery: for teachers and other professionals
18.104.22.168 Staff delivering physical education, sport and physical activity should promote activities that children and young people find enjoyable and can take part in outside school, through into adulthood. Children's confidence and understanding of why they need to continue physical activity throughout life (physical literacy) should be developed as early as possible.
126.96.36.199 Children and young people should eat meals (including packed lunches) in school in a pleasant, sociable environment. Younger children should be supervised at mealtimes and, if possible, staff should eat with children.
22.214.171.124 Staff planning interventions should consider the views of children and young people, any differences in preferences between boys and girls, and potential barriers (such as cost or the expectation that healthier foods do not taste as good).
126.96.36.199 Where possible, parents should be involved in school-based interventions through, for example, special events, newsletters and information about lunch menus and after-school activities.
1.1.6 Workplaces
The workplace may have an impact on a person's ability to maintain a healthy weight both directly, by providing healthy eating choices and opportunities for physical activity (such as the option to use stairs instead of lifts, staff gym, cycle parking and changing and shower facilities), and indirectly, through the overall culture of the organisation (for example, through policies and incentive schemes). Taking action may result in significant benefit for employers as well as employees.
These recommendations apply to:
senior managers
health and safety managers
occupational health staff
unions and staff representatives
employers' organisations and chambers of commerce
health professionals working with businesses.
The recommendations are divided into:
those that all organisations may be able to achieve, with sufficient input and support from a range of staff, including senior management
those that are resource intensive and may only be fully achieved by large organisations with on-site occupational health staff, such as the NHS, public bodies and larger private organisations.
The recommendations are likely to build on existing initiatives – such as catering awards, Investors in People and Investors in Health, and the Corporate Health Standard in Wales.
Section 3 has links to tools to help with implementing the recommendations and meeting training needs.
Recommendations that refer to the planning of buildings, and stair use in particular, should be implemented in the context of existing building regulations and policies, particularly in relation to access for disabled people.
Overarching recommendation
18.104.22.168 All workplaces, particularly large organisations such as the NHS and local authorities, should address the prevention and management of obesity, because of the considerable impact on the health of the workforce and associated costs to industry. Workplaces are encouraged to collaborate with local strategic partnerships and to ensure that action is in line with the local obesity strategy (in England).
For all workplaces
184.108.40.206 Workplaces should provide opportunities for staff to eat a healthy diet and be more physically active, through:
active and continuous promotion of healthy choices in restaurants, hospitality, vending machines and shops for staff and clients, in line with existing Food Standards Agency guidance
working practices and policies, such as active travel policies for staff and visitors
a supportive physical environment, such as improvements to stairwells and providing showers and secure cycle parking
recreational opportunities, such as supporting out-of-hours social activities, lunchtime walks and use of local leisure facilities.
188.8.131.52 Incentive schemes (such as policies on travel expenses, the price of food and drinks sold in the workplace and contributions to gym membership) that are used in a workplace should be sustained and part of a wider programme to support staff in managing weight, improving diet and increasing activity levels.
For NHS, public organisations and large commercial organisations
18.104.22.168 Workplaces providing health checks for staff should ensure that they address weight, diet and activity, and provide ongoing support.
184.108.40.206 Action to improve food and drink provision in the workplace, including restaurants, hospitality and vending machines, should be supported by tailored educational and promotional programmes, such as a behavioural intervention or environmental changes (for example, food labelling or changes to availability).
For this to be effective, commitment from senior management, enthusiastic catering management, a strong occupational health lead, links to other on-site health initiatives, supportive pricing policies and heavy promotion and advertisement at point of purchase are likely to be needed.
1.1.7 Self-help, commercial and community programmes
This section has been replaced by Overweight and obese adults - lifestyle weight management (2014) NICE guideline PH53.
1.2 Clinical recommendations
This section has been replaced by Obesity: Identification, assessment and management of overweight and obesity in children, young people and adults (2014) NICE guideline CG189.

« The Ins and Outs of Factoring | Connectivity, what is it? » |
In May, this blog talked about what needed to be done to set up a freight brokerage company, you walked through the steps, and you are a legal freight brokerage company. Now what? How does a budding freight brokerage company make money? Answer: the same way a long time existing brokerage does – they work hard at it.
The two high focus areas that need to be considered when starting are (1) a broad carrier base, and (2) a broad customer base. Sometimes these two areas fall in the "catch 22" drawer – customers will work with you if you have a broad and accessible carrier base, and carriers will only work with you if they know you can choose from a broad customer base.
Here is one way to build a carrier base. Early each morning, before the delivery day gets started, stop at all the local truck stops. Wander through the truck parking; write down the names and addresses of the various carriers stopped there and the number of trucks from each carrier; talk to the drivers if they are up and moving, find out where they are from, where they haul to, and what they haul. See if you can get a phone number and a name of the dispatcher that handles their truck. It's always nice to have a name when you call the company.
Now that you have some carrier names, go to yellowpages.com and get the phone numbers for those you are missing. Call the dispatchers and ask them the important questions. How many times do they come to your area per week or month? Are there other areas of the country they service? Are there areas they go to where freight is hard to find? Who do they deliver for, and to, in your area? Who do they pick up for, and from, in your area? What kinds of freight do they prefer to haul? Would they be interested in giving you a chance to provide freight for them? And the question that many brokers forget, do they have freight they can't move? And, would it be possible for you to move that freight for them?
Another way to build your carrier base is to search through your local yellow pages in the various listings for trucking, freight, and any other label the phone company might use to identify a trucking company. Don't call these companies, go and visit them. Find out what they haul, where they go, and how you can help them be successful.
Now, how to build a customer base. Remember we asked the carriers where they were going and who they delivered to or picked up from? Armed with that information, you must locate phone numbers and start making calls asking for freight to move. You will want to talk to buyers, logistics managers, warehouse managers and anyone else in the company that looks for trucks. Don't confine yourself to just the freight in your local area. Be sure to ask them about the trouble spots. If you want a quick "in" with shippers and receivers, find them a truck for areas they struggles with. Depending on your freight focus, look in the yellow pages of your local phone book for warehouses that fit the focus. Just like the local carriers, go and visit them. Show them you are interested in helping them move their freight.
Now you have carriers, and you have customers who are willing to work with you, this means you have freight to broker. Be sure you have TruckMaster Freight Brokerage Software to help you manage your business. The software is so intuitive it reminds you when carrier insurance certificates are about to expire. It warns you when a customer is a bit slow on paying. And it will help you keep track of where the trucks are, where the freight is and how you can get them together. Bottom line, this is how you make the money. Understand that carriers and customers will be cautious, but if you are persistent, they will give you a chance at one time or another to help them out.
Good luck on your new adventure!

Kozan's Work on Display at Image City Photography Gallery
The photography work of Dr. Kamil Kozan, Professor of Management in the School of Business, will be on display at the Image City Photography Gallery from January 26-February 22.
The photographs in the exhibit all have the same theme: leaves under water. Kozan said these abstract photographs attempt to share the beauty of autumn from an unusual perspective. The photographs were taken in various creeks in and around Rochester over a four-week span in the fall of 2013.
Kozan has had an interest in photography for a long time going back to film days. In addition to abstract photography, his subjects include "landscape portraits" and blurred images.
The Image City Photography Gallery is located at 722 University Avenue in Imagine Square, in the heart of ARTWalk in the Neighborhood of the Arts. For more information, visit the Gallery website.

Plan your state park visits with state-of-the-art interactive maps
Outdoor enthusiasts have a powerful new tool for planning their visits to Tennessee's 54 state parks and 82 natural areas.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has launched a new Geographic Information System (GIS) website that provides state-of-the-art interactive maps and detailed information about each park and natural area.
The new application makes it easier than ever to determine the park's location and local amenities, and the digital maps — satellite or topographic — provide detailed information regarding hiking trails and the overall lay of the land.
Links to the new interactive portal can be found on Tennessee state parks' website at www.tnstateparks.com/findapark, or via the Tennessee Natural Area's website at www.tn.gov/environment/na/.
The new interactive maps are designed to help TDEC communicate more effectively with the public, while saving time and money, officials say.
Features of the new GIS application include customized icons that provide the basics on each park and natural area as well as more in-depth information on park history and recreational opportunities. There's also a search function that allows users to search by a specific activity such as fishing, kayaking or camping.
Plans are underway to incorporate GIS into new applications devoted to Tennessee's historical and archeological sites, according to TDEC officials.

'The Devil Gets his Due'
Mephistopheles, the devil, wagers God that he can win Faust's soul. Mephistopheles then persuades Faust to sell his soul for a moment of perfect happiness. Just as Mephistopheles appears to have won the bet, the dying Faust dreams of ruling a peaceful nation. God pardons Faust as the defeated Mephistopheles sarcastically whistles in defiance.
SF Opera is performing Mephistopheles from September 6 through October 2.
Opera for the People is a lecture series by Larry Oppenheim designed for both the opera novice and the experienced opera lover. In less than an hour, you'll enjoy a guided tour of an opera which combines concise commentary with exciting video excerpts. If you are new to opera, you will discover the key anchor points to listen for. If you are an opera veteran, you will come away with new insights and a fresh perspective. And if you plan to attend a performance, your enhanced knowledge should increase your enjoyment!
Larry Oppenheim is president of the Kensington Symphony Orchestra (East Bay), where he is co-principal oboe, and also writes the program notes. Larry's goal is to make opera more enjoyable and accessible to everyone – including those who may have never gone to an opera.

25 ish pounds, give or take.
#1 I gained about 35
#2 I gained 40
This one, probably easily hit 50.
I don't remember how much I had gained at this point with my prior kids but each pregnancy I've been progressively more underweight, hence more weight gain each time.
I heard the jury's still out on science.
Posted 04/10/2013
This is my second pregnancy but the last ended on miscarriage at 2 months but this time I've gained 6 pounds am 16 weeks today n to start with I was 120 lb am 5'2
Posted 04/10/2013
I am 17 weeks and gained maybe 2 or 3 pounds. I started at 117 and never lost but haven't really been gaining either.
With my first I started at 120 and was probably up almost 10 pounds by 20 weeks. I gained a total of 30 pounds and lost it with no effort.

Jacked Jock Dick Down teaser - A Muscle Fuckers Video
Just when we think we know your taste in men you go ahead and surprise the hell out of us by going BESERK over our new buddy, Carter! Honestly, we have received SO MUCH lust-filled mail and messages and comments over this guy, lol. Why ya'll like him so much - is it his stunning angelic face, his big blue-green eyes, or maybe it's his hard jacked body? Nah, it's none of that; I'm sure it's all about his AH-FUCKING-mazing ass! His beautifully-bubbled ass is itself a work of art, but when you add that slight covering of blond fuzz - like a ripe sweaty delicious peach waiting to be eaten - that's when it's just too much for you pigs to handle!
Well, I got some news for ya; he is also an amazing kisser for a "straight boy". Yes, our boy Carter, sadly, is straight. When I found that out, I was a bit devastated, but after discussing it with Hunter we decided to teach him how to get a hard, deep MaverickMen ass pounding. Carter has been in a few videos before but says he has never had such great sex with men in his entire life until us - big praise from a sexy jacked straight boy. We really wanted to get in deep and I think we almost made him faint. You will LOVE this video, it's guaranteed to make you spooge all over your computer screen and lick it off.
xoxo Cole and Hunter
Puppy Love teaser
Do you like puppies as much as we do? Hunter and I found the cutest sexy little hung puppy on our last camping trip. He's fuzzy in all the right spots, fully trained, very playful, and loved it when we rubbed and came on his cute little belly, lol!
We trained him to BEG for and SIT on our cocks. Best of all; he loved it doggie style. We were very sad to leave our puppy after a fun weekend of hot camper-rocking love. We think you'll enjoy him here in this super hot video as much as we did. This puppy love video is sure to make you start panting, so pull out your dog bone and start wagging that tail. This vid has hard-ass penetration and throat fucking. Leave our puppy some love under this post. He'll be reading them and wagging his tail. We love and miss you, Puppy!!!
Tony and Tico teaser
So as you can see by our recent posts, we've been meeting lots of fun hot awesome guys lately. A few months ago when we were visiting Denver, we met this hot fun couple, Tony and Tico. After getting to know them from skyping, texting, and phone calls, we decided to fly back to do a vid with them. We first bumped into the boys at the opening of a great club called Bar Standard in Denver. The club flew us in for opening night of "Porn Star second Fridays", where we hosted a boy butt contest and meet tons of fans. WHAT A FUCKING BLAST! So while we were there, Tony and Tico asked if we'd take a photo with them, of course we did, and when we huddled together for the photo they were all over us like a mess of monkeys! And yes; we LOVED it.
Our first night back to re-connect with the boys we all got messy drunk and had some serious laughs. It was a great date night with a fun hot couple. We all quickly warmed up to each other and then it was time to get our fuck on. I have to confess that one of the best moments was when Tony (a TOTAL TOP) bottomed for us. I loved watching Tico suck on his lips and kiss him as he sat on Hunter's cock, and I think you will, too. We had so much hot sex that it extended into two days of fucking fun! I think you guys will love this one especially you couples out there. Grab your sweetie, butter-flavored lube, popped corn and settle in for one long hot jerk off session.
Tico and Tony, we LOVE you guys!!! Can't wait for our P Town beach adventures in July!!!

Return of Caleb teaser - a Jock Fuckers video
YES! Caleb is back for more hot fucking! This jock puppy is so so hot and you guys liked him so much that we decided to have him back for more fun. He's a local boy that just can't seem to get enough MaverickMen love. He casually hit us up one afternoon to say hi and I knew what that meant; he wanted some more. I suggested that we do another vid and he was very eager to show off his gym-boy bod and freshly-shaved mohawk haircut. And he wore his new jock strap, complete with sweaty cup! Caleb is just too fucking sexy and cute for words. Hunter and I can't stop eating him up! I loved teasing him as he checked out my basket; he turned bright red. It's so so hot when a horny jock gets all shy.
After our fun little photo shoot, we took him upstairs for some long over-do fucking. Hunter could not get over how good this boy smells - sweaty balls and jock scent is heaven on earth to us. After we explored his hot bod, I made him take out his fat uncut cock and I sucked it like it was my job. I noticed that his foreskin was a bit sensitive so I eased up and loved it. I had the sneaky suspicion that this butch boy loves to suck cock more than get sucked, which is fine with us, and Caleb happily got down on his knees to work on both our cocks. After a long oral session of fat cock gobbling his cheeks were flush and he needed some good ass fucking. Right there on our couch we pulled his sweats off and fucked his sweet hole till we all blasted all over the place - and he licked it all up!

Big Boy Butt Bang teaser
Here's a BIG HOT DONKEY DICK BOY for your viewing pleasure! 20 year-old Leeam is not your average boy; he is something very special at 6'5" tall, 220lbs, big blue eyes and size 14 feet. He's already hot enough to make your dick hard but when you see his massive tool, you'll drool – yes, it's a 10-inch monster cock (and THICK!). I mean this guy's dick is longer and thicker than a red bull can.
Leeam made us want to jump his bones the minute we got him alone, and WOW his man/boy ass is BIG and hard and hairy in all the right places. We have become good friends with him and he has since come to Boston to visit us for a second video - that one is also VERY hot! He is a big shy boy at first, but when he opens up he is a blast in the sack. Best of all; he is very ticklish and you all might know that I have a major weakness for ticklish guys. In a word, Leeam is just plain "AfuckingDorible".
Make sure you catch how he came hands-free as I was penetrating him. He had a shocked look on his face as he was spurting his wad. And then he came! And yes guys; he's single and a vers/top.

Fuck of The Irish teaser
Top O' and Bottom O' the morning to ya!
Since it's so close to Saint Patty's Day here in Boston and I'm half Irish, Hunter thought it would be a great idea to finally show you our highly anticipated video, "The Fuck of The Irish." We gave a sneak peek of this hot video about a month back and you all went crazy for it, mostly because of our sexy-as-fuck tall Irish boy, Liam. He has a big sexy smile, big blue eyes, hot furry legs and bubble ass - plus he is a sight to behold when he's all horned up and ready to fuck. Liam, had been talking to us for close to two years before we actually met for the first time in this video. He was beyond excited and so were we!
So here it is and If I do say so myself; this is one seriously HOT fuck video! It's got some really really nasty hot moments that will blow your loads right out of your cock…and thru the roof, lol. This is the only video where a boy made me cum twice - two big loads, one after another within a two minute span. Hunter and I ran this guy thru the MMFM! "Maverick Men Fuck Machine" and back again and he was still hungry for more. If you want to see more of our boy Liam, he will be reading this and your comments so send him some love!
Xo Cole and Hunter
Stick It In teaser
We're very happy to share this nasty hot fuck video with you horny fuckers. This was one of the best topping sessions we've had in a while. This boy's hole was slick, sweet, tight and eager to get stuffed, eager to Stick It In! This sexy boy invited us over to his place where he begged us to just stick it in his sweet tight hole. We fucked him all over the place, so much so that we put the camera down and lost track of the fact that we were there to film it for you guys to see.
When we first started chatting with him on-line he was super shy and nervous, but once he had us in his apartment all his shyness melted away. I noticed that his eyes were riveted on our crotches so being the nice guy I am, I told him to show us his blow job skills. He dropped to his knees, pulled out my cock, and started sucking like it WAS his job! As soon as we started feeding him some cock, then face-fucking him, we knew he was going to be an amazing sub bottom boy. He took our cocks hard and deep for what seemed like three hours of sweat-soaked, nasty aggressive ass fucking. His was one of the best holes we have had the pleasure of exploring.
We love you guys, thanks for stroking with us!

Billy Billy Bang! Bang! - Fun Fuckers teaser
This is the very last Billy video, Billy Billy Bang! Bang! - Fun Fuckers. In this final Billy video, we take him on a day trip to Maine for some boating fun with friends. On the drive home we found a fun little amusement park with go-carts - so much fun! At one point I was laughing so hard that I crashed into Hunter (good thing he has that big muscle ass to protect him). Billy's smile was from ear to ear. After a long exhausting day, we headed back to Boston to chill out and pound some boy butt.. This particular day, Billy was feeling super passionate, so much so that when we started fucking the bed was banging against the wall and finally broke, so we moved the mattress to the floor.
It was a different kind of day because Billy was very into making out, he usually loves kissing but today he was seriously getting turned on by it and wanted all he could get his sweet lips on. We all smooched for a long while before he would let us penetrate his sweet ass again. Hunter got tired of making out cuz he wanted some ass, so he munched on Billy's sweet little butt for a long while until Billy started moaning and arching his back and lifting that sweet boy butt up so Hunter could burry his tongue deeper and deeper. Wow! Once he decided to opened his ass for us we had a serious hard-core fuck session. Billy shot a shocking huge load, too!
You guys will love this one, it's a winner, and it's the last new Billy video you will see on our site. Say bye-bye to Billy under this video. If you are new to Billy's work, I suggest Virgin Cherry Pop - Gone Camping and Virgin Sacrifice - his first time. Bye -bye Billy, we love you!

Billy Billy Bang! Bang! - Birthday Ass Bash teaser
Billy Billy Bang! Bang! - Birthday Ass Bash, is a VERY special video for a few reasons; first, it's HOT as fuck, and second, in this video you get to know the real Billy. This boy is a serious QT-pie and obviously his sexual skills are unmatched for a little mate his size. Never let it be said that our Billy boy can't take it like a man. In this vid, we take him away for a birthday weekend in RI, where we check into a hotel and take him out for a nice bday dinner. What Billy really wanted was us to lavish him with attention and our cocks, lol. Being the good hosts that we are, Hunter and I fucked the hell out of his sweet boy pussy all night long. We all had a blast that weekend with lots of amazing memories.
We've been hanging onto these last two gems because as you know, Billy has decided to retire from porn. You won't likely ever see him and his sweet boyish smile and amazing bottoming skills ever again, so like hot biscuits and creamy boy gravy; soak up these last two red-hot Billy videos. The second and last video will be out NEXT WEEK, it's called Billy Billy Bang! Bang! - Fun Fuckers. Leave Billy boy some birthday love!
Horse Hung Hairy Hole teaser
Okay so here he is; you all went BANANAS over our buddy Davis and demanded that we show him next, so as always; your wish is our command! A few things you should know about Davis: he is an amazing guy; very chill and relaxed with a serious appetite for hot sex, he is top-vers and loves to be cock worshiped, he loves sweaty man scent just like us, and he's truly a man's man.
Be warned; his big blue eyes and fat cock will break your heart and your hole if you're not careful, lol. Did I mention that Davis is SINGLE and looking for Mr. Right, or maybe even Mr. Right now!….so feel free to leave him a message on the site or email us here at Maverickmen.com and we'll foreword your loving and lustful emails to him.
In this sticky hot video you will see a true top take cock like an eager bottom. We eat and lick his sweet manhole till he begs for our cocks, and when we finally slip them in, he goes wild; moaning and growling like a fucking animal! We fucked him in the morning on our sofa so hard that the sofa ended up on the other side of the room.
The sounds alone in this video will make your banana cream! Once again, I judge this video's hotness by how many times I had to jerk off while editing and this one was a 3-stroke video - a true home run of hotness. As a long time fan, Davis has been eager to come meet us, which shows throughout this video. We spent a great weekend with him here in Boston. We were snow bound with nothing to do but fuck! Davis, if you're reading this; we love you man CUM BACK soon, please!

Global Warming: A Chilling Perspective
A Brief History of Ice Ages and Warming
Global warming started long before the "Industrial Revolution" and the invention of the internal combustion engine. Global warming began 18,000 years ago as the earth started warming its way out of the Pleistocene Ice Age-- a time when much of North America, Europe, and Asia lay buried beneath great sheets of glacial ice.
Earth's climate and the biosphere have been in constant flux, dominated by ice ages and glaciers for the past several million years. We are currently enjoying a temporary reprieve from the deep freeze.
Approximately every 100,000 years Earth's climate warms up temporarily. These warm periods, called interglacial periods, appear to last approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18,000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is much nearer its end than its beginning.
Global warming during Earth's current interglacial warm period has greatly altered our environment and the distribution and diversity of all life. For example:
Approximately 15,000 years ago the earth had warmed sufficiently to halt the advance of glaciers, and sea levels worldwide began to rise.
By 8,000 years ago the land bridge across the Bering Strait was drowned, cutting off the migration of men and animals to North America from Asia.
Since the end of the Ice Age, Earth's temperature has risen approximately 16 degrees F and sea levels have risen a total of 300 feet! Forests have returned where once there was only ice.

Tribe wild-card tickets sell like wildfire on secondary market
Blog Entry:
October 02, 2013 10:58 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
Indians fans were a little tardy in showing up to Progressive Field this season.
The last four home games of the regular season drew an average of 26,201 fans, almost double the 13,518 norm from the first nine home contests in September
But they're certainly making up for lost time.
According to numbers from
— a ticket search engine that compiles listings from secondary market sites such as StubHub, TicketsNow and Razorgator — the American League wild-card game Wednesday night between the Indians and Tampa Bay Rays is the most in-demand one-game playoff in Major League Baseball the last two seasons.
SeatGeek says the average price of tickets sold for the Indians-Rays game on the secondary market is $148.
Tuesday night's National League wild-card game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds generated an average price of $144 on the secondary market.
Both 2013 wild-card games were far more popular on the secondary market than Monday's one-game AL playoff between the Rays and Texas Rangers (average price: $76) and the 2012 wild-card games in the AL (last year's Orioles-Rangers matchup had a secondary-market norm of $95) and NL (the Cardinals-Braves contest posted a surprisingly low average of $87).
According to SeatGeek's research, the Indians-Rays game Wednesday night — which
was announced as a sellout
shortly after the Tribe clinched a postseason berth on Sunday afternoon — is fetching higher prices on the secondary market than any Indians game at Progressive Field in the last six years.
That's not a shock, because the Tribe last advanced to the postseason in 2007, but the $83 difference in the $148 average resale price of Indians-Rays tickets and the previous high at Progressive Field since 2008 — this year's home opener against the Yankees, which had a norm of $65 — is startling.
SeatGeek says Tribe wild-card tickets were going for an average of $143 last weekend, but the norm increased to $172 on Monday and Tuesday — after the champagne had dried and hysteria had fully arrived.
Diamond Box seats — located in the
first few rows from the field
, overlooking the dugouts on the first- and third-base lines — are selling for the highest premiums, SeatGeek says. Those seats, which
have face values of $160
, are selling for an average of $382.
A few Internet searches seem to back up SeatGeek's research.
As of mid-morning Wednesday, secondary-ticket giant StubHub
was selling standing-room-only
seats for a "low" price of $93.52.
Bleacher seats, which were available for $55 last week, were listed at $228, $230.80, $277, $349 and $1,102 (yes, $1,102) on StubHub on Wednesday morning.
The cheapest Indians-Rays seats available for purchase from Mayfield Village ticket broker Amazing Tickets
were $125
for upper-reserved tickets that could have been bought for $45 last week.
Merk's Tickets in Brook Park
was selling upper-reserved seats
for a low of $155.
The Indians have asked us to
"buy early and save."
We should have listened.
Not wild about these selections?
The Indians' 51-30 home record this season is tied for the fifth-best mark in baseball.
ESPN's prognosticators
don't seem to care
Of the 31 ESPN personalities who made playoff predictions — 31! — only nine have the Indians defeating the Rays. One of the nine is Manny Acta, who was fired as the Tribe's manager in 2012, after three seasons that produced an average of 71 wins.
None of the nine predicted the Indians would defeat the Boston Red Sox in the Division Series.
The ESPN experts weren't big fans of the wild-card teams in general.
The prognosticators selected the wild-card winner to win its respective Division Series only 11 times in 62 chances (two Division Series victors for each of the 31 personalities).
The ESPN employees with the most optimistic views of the wild-card teams were Pedro Gomez (who had the since-eliminated Reds defeating the Rays in an all-wild-card World Series) and David Schoenfield (who has the Pirates winning their first championship since 1979).
If Gomez is as off on the Rays as he was the Reds, the Tribe will be moving on to Boston for a 3 p.m. game on Friday.
The Fan adds another former WKNR employee
WKRK-FM, 92.3, has added its third castoff from sports talk competitor WKNR-AM, 850, in the last six months.
Chris Fedor, who
was fired by ESPN Cleveland in late January
, now gives updates and hosts on a part-time basis at The Fan.
Will Burge, who was let go in
WKNR's late-August purge
, is a Browns columnist for The Bleacher Report and appears on various WKRK programs to discuss the Browns.
Another former WKNR host who was fired six weeks ago, T.J. Zuppe, has now joined The Fan, too.
Zuppe said he will be "doing part-time sports updates and reporting" for the station. He also will be providing postgame coverage and sound for MLB Network Radio, which
is part
of the SiriusXM stable.

I'm Pregnant
> How fast do second babies come??
Hi all. Well, I am at 38 weeks now. My son was born at about 39 weeks, so Im hoping this one will be coming soon. I have always heard that second babies come faster than the first ones so I am getting a little nervous. I am hoping that it will happen like last time where I had mild contractions for quite awhile before I even needed to go to the hospital. I also had the pink tinged mucus at the same time so I knew when it was starting. I know all pregnancies are different though and Im wondering how this one will go. Once it starts we have to call someone to come watch our son and then go to the hospital. I am just hoping that everything doesnt happen too fast. I am probably worrying about this for nothing, but I just wanted to see how fast your second babies came in comparison to your first.. Thanks everyone
I am pregnant with #4. With all mine my water started leaking between 3pm and 8pm and they were all born between 7:30am and 9:30am. With my last I had a home birth and it was my shortest & easist labor. It was only about 2 hours of hard labor and that was it.
Its pretty much an old wives tale. My babies came when they did. It makes more sense to take labor as it comes and not worry about it. There wasn't any pattern to my 6 labors, other then each one was individual
Sure the second was less, but that's mainly because once you've expereinced labor you tend to ignore it until you are in the more active part. So in a poll it will look like second labors are taking half as long, when in reality it's about the same; but we have learned to ignore the earlier parts.
My first was 2 hr. 45 min. and the second was 1 hr. 45 min. 3rd was 6 hrs. just for comparison.
I don't think there are any "for sure's" in pregnancy and birthing. Reading all the ? threads this time around I have seen responses all over the spectrum to particular questions that attempt to pin down something, anything childbearing related. I think we instinctively want that, lol, but it's not going to happen. There are too many variables.
All babies are different and need to gestate for different lengths. All babies have their own idea of what their birth will be like
We can guess and wish but that's it really
Vancouver Mommy
I had a lovely, quick (but not disturbingly fast) labour and birth with my second. From the time we started timing the "real" contractions (ie. noticeably uncomfortable) to the time he was in my arms was about 4 hours. About 15 minutes of pushing.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the input!
My rational answer: there is no way to predict and there really isn't any point in being worried ahead of time.
My real answer: My labor with DD was 48 hours. I don't want to go THAT long again, but I worry more about it being a fast labor. Every mom I talk to who had a labor as long or longer than mine had a second labor that was MUCH shorter. One friend - 50+ hours with #1, 3 hours with #2.
I do worry about a fast labor because I'll need to hunt down DH in the field (he's out doing research in state parks every day, often out of cell phone service), then hunt down the people who will look after DD, and then get myself to the hospital (1/2 hour away).
BUT - I'll go back to my rational answer, my mantra right now: there is no way to predict and there really isn't any point in being worried ahead of time.
With Stephanie, it was 18 and 1/2 hours, with Michael, it was 15 and 1/2 hours. The rest of them it was between 7-9 hours, only with Melody I can't remember how long because they gave me that demerol and I don't remember much after they gave it to me.
Mama, it sounds like you have a good case of wishful end of pregnancy thinking on your hands!
Hugs, I remember wanting those last few weeks to be over so I could just MEET the baby!
DD (1st) was a 38 weeker after 11 weeks of preterm labor and bedrest. Her labor was less than 12 hours from water breaking to delivery. DS (2nd) was born hours after his due date and was 14 hours or so from bloody show to delivery (only about 6hours active labor).
Using that reckoning, this baby should be late, but he/she had better NOT be!
As another poster said, they are all unique, and each labor is individual. It'll happen when its time, and there should be plenty of time to get things together.
Thursday Girl
my first labor was 26 hours, my 2nd was 43 hours.
Each baby is different. My mom's LONGEST was 8 hours, her twins were less then that.
My second was twice as long as my first... 2.5 hours, then 5 hours. The 5 hours was much easier and had a good early labor (AF-like cramps that took me an hour to realize they happened to be coming every 5 minutes
). The first one kind of started up out of nowhere, but I was also PPROM and had been on labor-stopping meds for 4 days, so that may have affected it.
My mom's labors were 5 hours, 2.5 hours, 1.5 hours (I was almost born in the parking lot). My sister's labors were 5 hours, 4 hours. Sis was still at work when her 4 hour labor started, and she still had plenty of time to get to the birth center (she was actually e-mailing me saying there was a vague possibility that she was in labor, and sure enough...).
My first took 12 hours- 9 on my own at home, then we went to the hospital, I got an epi, and blah. DD2 was just born at home unassisted...almost 5.5 hours from beginning to end...but the FAST part was pushing. She SHOT out less than 3 minutes after my water broke (which I was NOT pushing before that happened!). DD1 took over an hour to push out.
My first was 32 hours. . .
My second was an hour and a half. . . . (accidental and wonderful home birth!)
I thoroughly enjoyed both!!
No rules but here is more anecdotal evidence that second labors are often shorter than first.
My first was over 24 hours with nearly 3 hours of pushing. Of course, maybe I would ignore about 8 of those hours now but still not a short labor.
My second was 3 hours start to finish and I didn't think I was in labor for the first hour and a half! Definitely a lot shorter - ignoring ctx or no.
my first was 36 hours, with 4 hours of pushing at 37 weeks.
my second was under two hours, with just a few minutes of pushing at 37 weeks 3 days.
so for me, my second was much much faster.
This is an interesting thread. I'm pregnant with #2 and planning a waterbirth at a hospital about 40 minutes away. I'm due in January, and around here, we get pretty bad winter storms where the driving is pretty bad, even with four-wheel drive.
With my first birth, I went grocery shopping the night before, and I remember stopping and holding on to the grocery cart every once in a while while I had a contraction. I realize now that it was labor starting, but at the time, I guess I though they were Braxton-Hicks, because I went home, unloaded my groceries and went to bed.
The next morning I woke up around 7 and started eating some cold cereal. It was then that I started having contractions again, and was surprised that they were already pretty close together. I think I was just in denial, because my ex was "mad" that I was in labor (long story)
and I was trying to pretend everything was fine. He left, so I called my mom to take me to the hospital and by the time we got there, it was 9 o' clock. A dimwit nurse put me in a screening room for ten or fifteen minutes and when she finally came to check me, started screaming for a doctor, because I was completely dilated and my bag of waters was bulging out of me. They moved me to another room , I pushed a couple of times and dd was born at 9:30. So I don't know how to time that labor. Was I laboring all night and didn't know it, or was I in labor for 2 1/2 hours?
At any rate, I'm afraid that if this baby is born any faster, I'm not going to make it to the hospital on time, or dh is going to miss the birth, etc. I also feel like my first birth was chaotic, for as much as it was incredible. I may wish I had never said this, but I kind of want this one to last just a little bit longer so I can experience it better. Am I crazy?
Thanks everyone. I am just getting kind of nervous. We found out a few days ago that my husband wont be able to take any time off work before the baby is born, so basically he cant leave work until I am starting to have contractions. This wouldnt be such a big deal but it takes him almost an hour to get home from work, and if there is an accident or bad traffic it could be more. Also the person I am going to call to watch my son is also about that far away. We are in a smaller town outside of a big one (luckily we are going to the small hospital not too far from here). Not to mention we may have to go pick up our son at summer school if it happens while hes there! So I am REALLY hoping that she does not come too quickly. I have heard of some of you having unexpected homebirths but it really scares me, especially if I was by myself! I dont think Id know what to do. lol BTW, are there ways to slow down labor? I believe I have heard laying on your side is one way.. Not sure though.. Anyway, thanks again all for sharing your stories!
My daughter was born at a donut shop because I didn't think my labor would progress so quickly. I woke up around 8:30 am aware that I'd been having more Braxton Hicks which I'd been having for like a week so I thought nothing of it (I was only 38 weeks). By 10am, I called the midwife because I was pretty sure I might be in labor. ON her advice, I took a shower, then a bath and then we left. We were planning to deliver at the midwife's house about 45 mins away. We didn't make it. I was pushing in the car but thought I just had to go to the bathroom and insisted dh stop the car at the nearest place. She was born after a few pushes in a public bathroom. I wish I had left as soon as I knew labor was upon me or had just stayed home. Even though the midwives wouldn't have made it on time, at least I wouldn't have had to deal with going to the ER. I don't mean to scare anyone but my advice is to be careful how long you wait to leave if you are going anywhere.

Well ... my labor was about the same length with both kids. DS (age 2) labor lasted about 18 hours total from the first contraction to his birth. DD (age 1 month) labor was about the same.
However, my labor with DD was far more challenging for me. DS's labor was fast moving: I dilated quickly, but pushing took quite awhile. With DD, it took me a very long time to dilate. Contractions were long and intense, but spaced far apart. However, once things got moving along and it was time to push, pushing lasted 15 minutes!
My advice to you: do NOT go into your second birth with ANY expectations whatsoever. I went into DD's birth assuming it would be "faster" and "easier" than DS's birth. Not so. And my expectation really hindered things I think, as I would get frustrated that labor wasn't progressing as quickly as I thought it should be. Once I just let go of my expectations and just birthed and let things come, labor was a lot better.
Thanks berkeley and mary
Labor #1 = 32 hours
Labor #2 = 1.5 hours
Now I'm personally curious . . . what were the times for people past 3 children???
That is a huge difference lookingforaname!
It is a pretty big difference, eh? No wonder #2 was accidentally born at home unattended . . . . I was totally psyching myself out for a really long labor again.
If you average the two numbers, it's pretty average labor time though!
I am starting to hear about a lot of second babies coming really quickly. I hope my husband is able to get home and get us to the hospital in time..
By the way, how did things go with the unattended birth? Was it you and your husband? The scariest thing would be if it were just me on my own when it happened..
Dd was born 2 days early. Contractions started around 7pm and she was born at 9am (epi & pit).
Ds was born 2 days late. Contractions started around 10pm and he was born at 4pm. Unmedicated birth, labored in tub.
Thanks leafwood

We ran this one as a comparison just to see what a 7-1/2-inch blade slider could do. The abilities of this miniscule saw were amazing. It will cross-cut a bit more than a 2x12. I estimate that I could do about 75% of my shop work with this saw, saving a big 12-inch slider for the rest.
Basics: 10 amp, 6,000 rpm, gear-driven motor and 40-tooth blade. Can also use a 7-1/4-inch blade.
Adjustments and Features: This is the only single bevel angle saw we had, and the lack of right bevel cutting is a limitation for trim work. Dual sliding mechanisms provide its long reach. There is no laser, and the low fences do not have to be moved to cut bevels.
