Courtenay: The Aerospace Sector Is Suddenly Soaring
Concerning its best-in-breed dividend (currently yielding 5.15% at the closing price Friday of $89.99), it does concern me that it represents a 50% payout ratio.
When I factor in that at the beginning of 2013, LMT had total cash of $1.9 billion and operating cash flow (TTM) of $1.56 billion flowing in from its many government and private clients, I'm feeling more secure.
Another name in the aerospace and defense sector I like is Raytheon (RTN - Get Report) which rose Friday to $56.03 on below average volume. It pays a $2.00 annual dividend, a current yield-to-price of 3.57%.
In comparison to LMT, RTN's dividend represents a payout ratio of only 35% and is backed by over $4 billion in total cash as of the start of 2013.
Take a look at its one-year price chart with the year-over-year quarterly retained earnings growth line. RTN data by YChartsOddly it looks very different than LMT's, and until we're assured that the quarterly retained earnings growth is heading north again, I'd be cautious about owning the shares of RTN. This is doubly concerning in light of the "sequester" situation. When the "all clear" announcements are made both these stocks could move higher. For dividend-hungry investors, LMT and RTN are worth watching and perhaps accumulating on any corrections. Both are top-notch at what they do and how they are managed. At the time of publication the author had a position in LMT. Follow @m8a2r1 This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Roasted Butternut Squash with Spicy Onions
Make this dish ahead of time: It's great at room temperature, and you'll need the oven free to roast the potatoes.
Shaved Kohlrabi with Apple and Hazelnuts
A version of this salad has been on Estela's menu since its opening; chef Ignacio Mattos has tried it with summer squash and apples in place of the kohlrabi. In any case, make sure not to cut your slices too thin—they need to stand up to the nuts and cheese.
Nutty Grain and Oat Bars
We can't stress it enough: Pack the mixture as tightly as possible into the loaf pan. This is essential for the slices to hold together when cut.
Basic Nut Milk
No matter how fanatical you are about straining the milk, some sediment will settle as it sits. Shake or stir before using.
Cooking and Baking with Nuts: A Cause to Celebrate
A new Harvard study says nuts may promote longevity; our study says they taste great. We rounded up recipes containing the healthy edibles and more.
Hazelnut Butter Cake with Sea Salt Caramel
This hazelnut butter cake is covered in a decadent sea salt caramel that will fit in a small saucepan, but make sure you use something larger—the molten sauce bubbles up quite a lot.
Chocolate Torte with Calvados-Poached Figs
Poach the figs in Calvados until just softened: Overcooking or intense boiling will render them a tough instead of lush addition to this chocolate torte.
Salted Honey and Chocolate Bark
This holiday confection is both sweet and salty.
Chocolate-Cinnamon Coffee Cake
If you like, serve this with whipped cream or an extra dollop of yogurt.

Point one: patch wants to reach its patches from standard input by default, not from a file you give it on the command line. Point two: the patch files themselves contain the paths of the files to be patched: (comments added by me). The filnames are a/Makefile.PL and b/Makefile.PL. But if your Makefile.PL is in the current directory, you need to tell patch to strip the a/ and b/ prefix. That's just one directory level each, so you need the -p1 option.

This book offers an incredible array of data that cannot be ignored. The premise of the book is that those who consume a carb/supplement drink before, during, and after a workout increase their metabolic rate, sustain energy, blunt cortisol, and increase muscle mass. This book is for both men and women alike. I definitely recommend it to any fitness professional, as well as any lay person. I thoroughly enjoyed the research, which would have taken me months to compile on my own. A definite must for any library of fitness books.

Bartkowski poised to seize opportunity
By James Murphy
Boston Bruins
Matt Bartkowski
was very close to being sent to the
Calgary Flames
in a package deal for Flames captain
Jarome Iginla
at the trade deadline, but Iginla changed his mind at the last minute, vetoing the trade to Boston and choosing to go to Pittsburgh instead.
But when given another chance to come to Boston via free agency, Iginla did just that on July 5. Now Bartkowski will be teammates with the player he was almost dealt for.
Matt Bartkowski played in 20 regular-season games for the Bruins over the last three years, but looks to be in line for more ice time in 2013-14.
"It was really funny because I saw a couple of tweets saying, 'Make sure Bartkowski doesn't pack his bags,' but yeah I thought it was pretty funny [Iginla] ended up signing here," Bartkowski said with a laugh Wednesday. "It's a good thing, though. He's a great player, so that will be pretty cool."
Bartkowski reiterated that he holds no hard feelings and that the failed trade didn't affect his mindset as an up-and-coming defenseman.
"I'm old enough and mature enough now to understand that's part of the business," the 25-year-old rearguard said. "And to be able to be considered in a trade for a first-ballot Hall of Famer is pretty cool. That's a big honor to potentially be part of such a deal. But I was really happy once it all blew over because I really wanted to stay in Boston and love it there.
"[The Bruins] have a winning pedigree. It's a great city to play in and I'm glad it worked out the way it did."
Bartkowski seemed to turn the potentially awkward moment of the failed trade into a motivating force. His confidence wasn't diminished, and he played better and received more ice time down the stretch run of the season and into the playoffs.
"Once playoffs rolled around and I was able to log more minutes I thought I got better," Bartkowski said. "I got in the flow of the game, pushed the pace using my legs better and just played a lot better."
While Bartkowski obviously would have liked part of his summer to have been spent bringing the Stanley Cup home to family and friends, he values the experience he gained playing in the playoffs. With the Bruins' blue line beset with injuries, particularly in the first and second rounds, Bartkowski and fellow youngsters
Torey Krug
Dougie Hamilton
found themselves thrown into the fire. The trio didn't disappoint in helping the Bruins advance. Bartkowski saw action in the first round against the Maple Leafs and the second round against the Rangers, but did not play in the conference finals versus the Penguins or the Stanley Cup finals against the Blackhawks.
"It was huge," Bartkowski said of being part of the run to the conference finals. "Being able to play playoff hockey anywhere is great. I got that at Providence and that was good experience because guys were playing to win, and then at the NHL level it's even better and just so much more faster. As we saw a lot [of] winning and losing, a game can change in 30 seconds or so and it's such a thin margin. It's a great learning experience and while I didn't necessarily want to learn how to lose a game in 17 seconds, it will be a valuable lesson in the future that you can't let up at all in the playoffs. You have to play the full 60 minutes. But it was a great experience."
With the offseason departure of
Andrew Ference
and the playoff performance of Bartkowski, Krug and Hamilton, the Bruins appear to be set to get younger on defense. Bartkowski could see even more playing time in the 2013-14 season.
"It's shaping up that way and looking that way," Bartkowski said of the youth movement on the blue line. "I think Kruger, Dougie and me have gained a lot of experience the past year. Especially during the playoffs, Kruger and me gained so much experience, and you saw what he did. And then Dougie played a lot in the regular season. I think we gained their trust in the playoffs and they're able to play us in more situations now. Their confidence in us rose, and because of that our confidence skyrocketed. So hopefully this season shakes out where we can play a whole season."

So "I think" the twitch is because I have not calibrated the camera TX etc and I had to add a few clicks of trim to get it perfectly level. I have seen the beta manual and I think that is the issue. Either way, its really amazing. I just want that software before Memorial Weekend!!!!! Going to go play some more, even thou its not 5pm here yet. |

Wow that video is just awesome, once you get that twitch fixed it will be perfect.
I wish you could swap between 16mm and 30mm though. Hopefully in the software there will be a drop down menu where you can select the lens your using. Oh is there any built in shutter control on the Z15n? I notice that black bar on the front of the gimbal kind of covering where the IR sensor is on the camera. Or is that just the HDMI to Composite converter? Can you show some pictures on how its mounted to the rales on the landing gear? I'm curious. Very tempted to get one from you... |

Algolsheim (Alemannic German: Algelse) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.
This Alsatian commune is located in the Haut-Rhin (68) several kilometers from Neuf-Brisach. Situated 2 km (1.2 mi) from the border with Germany, Algolsheim includes a good number of German residents, which has considerably increased its number of inhabitants in recent years. Algolsheim is a member of the Canton of Neuf-Brisach and the Arrondissement of Colmar.
In 1196, the village was mentioned under the name d'Altolvisherde. From 1324 until the Revolution, the commune was part of the holdings of the counts of Wurtemberg. Between 1870 and 1875, several tombs of bronze were found in the territory of the commune. The village then held the name Alt-Olsheim. It owes its current name to the ease with which it can be confused with that of Andolsheim. The town includes a catholic church, a protestant temple since 1864, as well as a mennonite chapel founded in 1977. Modernised agriculture, the principal industry of Algolsheim, maintains a healthy level, despite the increasing scarcity of farmers. More than half of the inhabitants of the commune work in the nearby industrial centers on the banks of the Rhine. The construction of new housing projects has led to an increase in the demographic diversity of the village. Algolsheim possesses a rich natural heritage, owing to the proximity of the Rhine forest and the île du Rhin.

This list is for the most worthwhile Anime to watch in 2011. The only requirement is that the Anime must either be still ongoing in the year 2011 or has just ended in the year. Thus, older Anime should not be included.
Gon Freecs' father abandoned him as a baby in order to become a Hunter, an elite class with a license to go anywhere or do almost anything. Now 12 years old, Gon wishes to follow in his father's footsteps and become a great Hunter.
A massive earthquake ravaged Japan's mainland and destroyed most of Tokyo, sinking three-quarters of it into the ocean. Ten years later, the story shifts to Igarashi Ganta, a seemingly ordinary student attending Nagano Prefecture's middle school. An escapee, a survivor of the great earthquake, Ganta has no memories of the tragedy and has lived a normal life. This all changes when a strange man covered in blood and crimson armour floats through his classroom windows. Grinning madly, the Red Man massacres Ganta's entire class but instead of killing him, embeds a red crystal shard in Ganta's chest. Within days of the massacre, Ganta is declared the sole suspect and, following a quick trial, is sentenced to life imprisonment in Deadman Wonderland, a massive theme park like prison.
Arriving at the prison, Ganta is fitted with a special collar which monitors his location and life signs. Due to the heinous nature of Ganta's 'crime', he has to live out his imprisonment under Deadman Wonderland's 'Death Sentence'. A lethal poison is constantly injected into his bloodstream through the collar, but it can be neutralized by consuming a peculiar candy-like medicine every three days. Additional candy can be earned through hard work or by purchasing it. In order to gather Cast Points, the prison's currency, an inmate has to perform in the facility's lethal games and survive. Fortunately for Ganta, he is aided by a mysterious girl named Shiro, who apparently knows Ganta, and is known by other prisoners as well.
While trying to survive as an inmate on death row, Ganta becomes increasingly obsessed with the 'Red Man' and tries to find him so he could clear his name. In a bizarre twist, Ganta begins to develop the ability to manipulate his own blood, to the point of turning it into a weapon. Unbeknownst to him, Ganta has become one of the prison's 'Deadmen', a segregated group of prisoners possessing the Branch of Sin which makes them capable of controlling their blood. After his ability is discovered, Ganta is forced to participate in brutal gladiatorial death matches, known as Carnival Corpse, whose anonymous spectators pay large amounts of money to watch. In his struggle he manages to befriend some of those he fought off in the arena, and with their help Ganta continues his quest to uncover the identity of the Red Man, why he turned into a Deadman and the dark secrets the prison authorities are hiding.
The story revolves around a boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada who is chosen to become the boss of the Vongola Family. But Tsuna is a hopeless youth with low test scores and lower self esteem. The current boss of the Vongola Family, send Reborn( an infant hitman from italy) to train Tsuna.
The series follows the adventures of the celestial spirit mage Lucy Heartfilia after she joins the Fairy Tail guild and teams up with Natsu Dragneel, who is searching for the dragon Igneel. A very good anime, interesting story, and awesome characters

Be prepared to shed manly tears, I found this to be a really well written drama
A group of childhood friends drifts apart after one of them, Meiko "Menma" Honma, dies in an accident. Years later, the leader of the group, Jinta Yadomi, has become withdrawn and lives as a recluse. An older version of Menma appears to him, and says that she must have a wish granted, though she does not know what it is.
The world of Blue Exorcist consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible. However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exists within it. Satan is the god of demons, but there's one thing that he doesn't have and that's a container in the human world that is powerful enough to hold him! For that purpose, he created Okumura Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans, or will he become something else...? After killing Rin's guardian Father Fujimoto in an attempt to bring Rin back to the Demon world, it led to Rin's journey on becoming an Exorcist in order to defeat Satan.
Gosick takes place in 1924 in a small, made-up European country of Sauville. The story centers on Kazuya Kujo, the third son of a Japanese Imperial soldier, who is a transfer student to St. Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. There he meets Victorique de Blois, a mysterious yet beautiful and brilliant girl who never comes to class and spends her days reading the entire content of the library or solving mysteries that even detectives can't solve.
The series mostly focuses on Kazuya and Victorique getting involved in different mystery cases and their struggles to solve them, at the same time forming important bonds with different people. Eventually, the series shifts to the main characters' relationship amidst a turbulent conflict between two dominant factions in the kingdom.
Another favourite from 2011, the main character Okabe is such a charismatic, funny guy and goes around acting like a mad scientist in his small group named the Future Gadget Lab. It turns much more serious throughout the series, lots of timetravel involved.
Steins;Gate is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past. As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN, who has been doing their own research on time travel, tracks them down and now the characters have to find a way to avoid being captured by them.

Arizona Cardinals

Cardinals trio making the most out of their Pro Bowl appearance
The Arizona Cardinals didn't exactly have a noteworthy 2012 campaign, but even a 5-11 record couldn't stop three of their star players (Larry Fitzgerald, Daryl Washington and Patrick Peterson) from making a trip to Honolulu for the 2013 Pro Bowl.
While injuries and Super Bowl obligations are largely to credit for Fitzgerald and Washington's appearance in the annual All-Star game, the trio is making the most out of their "working" vacation (see photo right with Peterson's father Patrick Sr.).
Cardinals fans can watch Fitzgerald, Washington, Peterson and the NFC team take on the AFC on Sunday at 5:00 MST on NBC.

Charlie and I were married in 1939 — the same year the Inn opened. At that time visits to the area were spent at my father's family home in Elk. The men would often stop at Ole's (never call it "the Inn" then) for a drink and visit. When the Cooney home was sold, we began to stay at the Inn. In those days we stayed in the little cottages behind the main building. We paid eleven dollars per night for lodging and could enjoy abalone anytime we wished. We spent many holidays... Read More
We have been coming to the Little River Inn two times a year for approximately ten years[we can't quite remember]. We have booked the "same time next year" for an October and an April trip, often hitting the time changes at each visit. We came to Little River Inn the first time as a thank you from my husband's place of employment after 20 years. We stayed in the main buildings the first time but moved on to the Van Damme units and eventually our favorite...Coombs Cottage. It became our home away from home...our little quiet nest away from work and raising three kids. Friends would say what do you do up there? ....we would answer "nothing"....we just sit on our porch, watch the waves...perhaps sip a little bubbly & talk and enjoy each other's uninterrupted company. What could be better? Of course we wander into town for a stroll down main street , dine in the fine little restaurants....pore over the books in the bookstore...take a little road trip to Fort Bragg.......but eventually we return to "our" cottage each afternoon to do "nothing." What a treat! We have since discovered "Electra" as another hideaway....love the window seat for reading! Mendocino has helped us mark birthdays & anniversaries, even if we don't celebrate on the actual dates. As we drive away each time...we say "when are we coming back?" Thank you for providing a quiet haven in our hectic lives that we look forward to each year x 2!

What a great idea for a thread. MsN I related to your story as your beginning with your son was very similar to mine. Poor attachment, cracked bleeding nipples and being told he was attached 'perfectly'. I have also had mastitis 6 times.
My outcome has been a different one, but just wanted to say if you would like any of the tips that helped me for when your new bub arrives feel free to PM me. All the best #27Posted 30 March 2012 - 03:34 PM
My DD is now 18months and I BF for three months. Like lots of the PPs, I struggled with a multitude of issues before stopping completely and going to formula. I also felt extremely guilty and felt very sad when I saw other mothers BFing.
I don't know if others found this, but I felt the need to overexplain myself to other mums, to tell my whole story and 'convince them' that I'd done everything I could! Recently, if asked about feeding, I feel more confident to say "I fed for three months" rather than describe every nipple crack to some poor woman I met on the bus! I think this forum is a great idea , and it's good to have a place to debrief and discuss disappointment or other feelings - without getting advice. Edited by lucky 2, 31 March 2012 - 11:01 PM. #28Posted 30 March 2012 - 03:38 PM
ETA - thanks jane05, I might. I am quite keen to give it another proper 'go' this time - I have even backed away from buying bottles as a 'just in case', which is something I swore I would do even at the start of this pregnancy! I feel more empowered this time though - I know what issues I had, I've researched why they might have happened, and how to perhaps prevent them. And I have determined I won't be brushed off in hospital - if it's not working it's not working and I won't go home until I have real answers!

This is a great thread. My DD is 5 weeks old. From the very start BF was painful, I couldn't get her to latch properly no matter how many times the midwives tried to help. When we took her home on day 2 she screamed for hours because she was so hungry and wasn't getting anything from me. I'd been so upset when my dh bought a tin of formula as I was determined to BF but as it turned out I'm glad he did. Once we gave her the formula she was content and slept. I persevered with BF for two more days but my nipples were so sore and cracked that I was dreading every feed and dd was not getting anywhere near enough to drink so we were topping up with formula. I decided to express with a manual pump but that was becoming very tiring and time consuming so I hired an electric pump from the ABA. This worked well for about two weeks but then my supply dropped radically and I had to switch back to manual pumping as the electric pump wasn't getting anything out. To get enough for one feed it was taking three lots of expressing so I started taking motillium but that hasn't worked. I am now in the process of cutting down the number of times I express as I feel it isn't worth the effort I'm putting in. There has been many tears over this and I am so disappointed that BF hasn't been successful but I keep telling myself (and dh does to) that I did the best I could and our dd is a very happy healthy baby so it doesn't matter.I've shed a few tears writing this but it feels good to write it down.Thanks for reading.

Breastfeeding hasn't worked for me and my baby.
I could write a book about what went wrong. In summary, my determination to BF proves to not be enough- insufficient support at hospital, flat nipples, baby has a tongue issue that makes attachment difficult to the point he was not getting enough milk and loses weight, supply issues, expressing and use of nipple shield fails to result in the ability to feed DS adequately, expressing like crazy as well as the demands of feeding for an hour every 2-3 hours, as well as expressing, and preparing formula etc. as well as trying to function with minimal support results in sleep deprivation and symptoms of depression- comp feeding morphs into mostly formula feeding... And I cry a river. In there somewhere is me seeing LCs 6 times, as well as my GP and maternal health nurse, phone calls to the ABA, nurse on call and maternal child health info line- and the AMAZING support here on EB. In the end, I was told by 2 LCs that DS could NOT be fed enough by BF alone and to just express, express, express... but the amount of EBM kept shrinking and DS kept screaming to be fed all of the time and was so unsettled and my sanity kept sliding away... the people around me became worried about my health and in the end I conceded defeat. I'm not saying I'm happy with my decision, but DS is a different baby now, probably because feeding is no longer a battle ground and I'm a more engaged mummy, largely because I get more than 2-3 hours sleep in a 24 hour period and I'm not anxious about whether he's getting enough. In an ideal world I wish I could cope with the demands of expressing breast milk to the point it was enough for him without formula, but in reality it just wasn't a sustainable practice in my circumstance. Also, at each feed feeding him at the breast, then giving him EBM in a bottle, then formula to top up, was just so stressful for a hungry baby and for me as he screamed in between each method of feeding and I struggled under the workload involved. I really enjoyed the initial breastfeeding that I did get to do with DS before it became evident that he wasn't getting enough from it. But there were also aspects that were so stressful. Like a PP, I feel like I need to apologise and justify myself to every Tom, d*ck and Harry who sees me formula feed DS. I really appreciate the help that some members here offered me and I feel ashamed to admit on here that it didn't work out. #31Posted 30 March 2012 - 08:00 PM
Hi all.
I have always struggled with BF my children. My first 4 I BF through all the pain, tears and agony, due to terrible guilt and upset. Wont bother explaining why it has always been so terribly difficult for me, it is not important. I never enjoyed it, even once the pain dissappeared at around the 3 month mark.... I still fed through to well over 12 months for all 4. Errghhhh ! But I decided that with my fifth child I was going to FF and it has been the most wonderful decision I have ever made. i have bonded so much more with this baby, I am enjoying every feed, we are both happy and she is increibly healthy and content. It took me 5 children to realise that BF is not the be all end all.... I almost wish that I had not gone through all the heartache with the other 4 and had FF from the start. I find that it is so much more intimate than BF, because we are both happy. She gazes at me with every feed, we cuddle and kiss and there IS NO pain associated with it. Whoever says that FF is not intimate and special is delusional. A happy, healthy relationship between mother and baby is the most important thing. I have no guilt this time around, and am open and honest about why and how I am feeding my baby. If anyone wants support or advice then feel free to PM me. Dont ever beat yourself up about your personal choices...and NEVER feel ashamed.

It's been a busy day in this thread ! I have removed some posts and edited some responses. This is not the right thread for giving advice on breast feeding problems, if a member wants advice they are welcome to start a new topic in the forum. This is also not the thread for divisive discussions on the pros or cons of any feeding method. I have edited accordingly to keep this thread a safe place for members to share their personal experiences. Kind regards, lucky 2 Moderator #33Posted 31 March 2012 - 06:50 PM

Here another one who hasn't been able to bf my baby! I had any intention to bf my baby and my pregnancy and birth where so wonderful and 'easy', there was no reason for me to assume it wouldn't work! How naive can one be as it turned out to be bloody hard!
From the beginning the latching on was not a problem, she just didn't drink but using me as a pre heated dummy! As simple as that! We have seen three different lactation consultants (including a private one) many times and none could give us the golden tip. When DD got older she got better at drinking and we managed to do one successful bf in the morning till about 6 months and then DD started to refuse. I expressed till 6.5 months and I stopped as I got sick of it and since we found out DD has a temporarily lactose intolerance, I was only expressing for the freezer as we don't know how temporarily it is anyway! I was shocked how I felt about not being able to bf DD. I felt ashamed, guilty and not a real mum to my baby! I was jealous of those that could. I also found that there is a lot of support to help but not always in a positive way. I.e. the nurse from the hospital that did the first home visit wanted to encourage me to stick with bf but unfortunately her way of doing so made me feel worse about the fact I had to give formula in the end. I hate it when I read things from the ABA where they talk about artificial milk, I hate it when I go to a website of a formula brand I have to read and accept that bm is better for babies. Yes I know that and if I could give it I wouldn't be on this website! I don't give formula by choice, I give it because there is not a lot of alternative to offer my baby! I cried every time I saw a lactation consultant, a maternal and health nurse or just somebody who asked about how I was and how things were going with DD. I was lucky that I could talk to DH about it and that I have such a great support in my mums group and DIG here on EB, otherwise I think postnatal depression would have been a very realistic scenario for me! Despite this I look back proudly that I managed what I did and for so long and although I feel sad I didn't work out the way I wanted, I know I did everything I could. My baby's health and happiness is the most important thing and she is happy and healthy and I am enjoying every minute of it! #35Posted 20 April 2012 - 01:38 AM
as for my case, i never really had real milk, i only had few drops of them. then dried up by 6th week. i'll try taking motherlove more milk special blend and see if it will work on me. i hope it will help me relactate as i'm still hoping that i'll be able to breastfeed my baby.
#36Posted 05 July 2012 - 10:25 PM
Kind of inspired due to reading elsewhere on the site about someone's mother 'claiming they couldn't breastfeed'.
I could have and decided not to because it was the best thing for my baby. This statement seems to really enrage people including my hospital, huzza! I got told my cracked nipples weren't serious and I 'had to' soldier on and 'had no choice'. I hated breastfeeding so incredibly, massively much that I had resorted to trying not to be in the same room as my baby whenever possible, nor did I in fact feel she was my baby. I hated the way she'd flail and scream at me, I couldn't cope with the every two hour feedings that lasted an hour, I was so shattered I was in shock from how bizarrely and totally my previously optimistic, happy personality had spiraled down into a morass of despair, hatred, and agony. Breastfeeding completely destroyed my relationship with my child - complicated by a terrifying, horrific birth, massive bloodloss, terrible continuing pain, severe scarring, etc, etc, lots of other things going on. Apparently according to some of my consultants and midwives, it was better to hate my baby (and hate her I absolutely did) and 'soldier on' without the non-baby friendly anti-depressants that my alarmed doctor was recommending than give up on breastfeeding. Even if I actually loathed touching the baby. My body was destroyed by the pregnancy and birth and permanently damaged, and I simply emotionally couldn't cope with giving up any more of it to someone else to touch. At all. I was happy to die rather than endure any more touch. I felt utterly violated. Bottlefeeding turned out to be a godsend. I have zero regrets about it. I am happy breastfeeding works for some people, but I'm grateful bottlefeeding worked for me. In answer to someone offline who said 'What would have happened without formula?!' I mentioned goats milk, or death, probably. I know historically a lot of babies simply died. Now, however, it so happens she is the BEST BABY and man, she smells so gooooood and her hair could be touched for hours. Just ask me, I can tell you about it for days. I happen to now be an expert on excellent babies, and mine happens to be the most excellent IN THE KNOWN WORLD. And to my relief, she is a massive cuddlebug who doesn't seem at all bothered by her less than ideal start in life. NB: Got to say here, my mother AND my MIL? Both utterly supportive of any choice I made. Both wonderful. Support was vital for me, I wish everyone got it. #37Posted 06 July 2012 - 12:00 PM
This is a great space, thankyou. My story is similar to many here but can I just say, the thing I hate most is the lid of the formula tin where it just rubs in "Breast is Best"!!!! I also want to add that I completely relate to msn's story of tears, pain and the constant 'you have it perfect' that the midwives doll out. It brought back tears of my own. They are not attached to your nipple and do not understand. My hubby and mother were my godsend in letting me know I was not a failure for formula feeding, and without the bottle, I don't know what might have happened. It has been a long road back to loving my daughter and myself, but I'm getting there, and with less guilt every day.

Has anyone ever encountered line feeding when trying to establish breast feeding in hospital. I had this situation 4 years ago and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? I don't know what they thought that would achieve. I was a first time mum and had a hideous nurse that made me feel like a complete failure. leaving hospital 3 days after a c section was the best thing I did. I continued to try and bf despite bleeding cracked nipples and not much milk , we then went to a combination of expressing and formula which made me feel a little better . I stopped expressing around 3 months, relaxed and began enjoying being a mum for the first time. If we are lucky enough to have another I know I won't beat myself up about not being able to breast feed.
#39Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:04 PM
Thank you for creating this space _ such a great idea!
I felt like a failure. Last about 10 weeks of BFing DS and DD but mainly expressing milk into bottles. My DD couldn't latch properly and had severe reflux. My DS was quite a good little drinker.. But it got to the point where my supply couldn't meet demand to feed the twins and I was passing out on the bed.. NO energy left to eat, drink or take a shower. I really gave it my best shot. I agree with a PP where it is really hard when you see it on the Formula Tin (or just about everywhere).. that "Breast is Best". I even used to get the guilts from some of my girlfriends who are BF zealots.... seriously girls - Back Off!! Oh and - my children were WASTING, so I had the guilts that my BFing was not enough for them to survive on and had to switch to Formula! This was incredibly hard to deal with...

Thankyou for creating this space. I went through a lot of emotions when I had breastfeeding issues. My first was comp fed for 6 months and my second was exclusively formula fed after one week of comp feeding.
I feel that this is an important area needing support for women and am glad it is being recognised. #41Posted 24 September 2013 - 06:34 PM
This is grate:)
With me it was down to, I simply just dried up and it happend so quick I had know idear. I was 19 when I had DD (number 1) and having verry little to do with children and any BF in my family and just moved to AUS i had only DH and BIL for suport, so I had to read up on how to BF my DD, so I got reading thourght I've got it I can do this it will all go how the books say and that will be that. Well we got off to a grate start from first feed even tho she was born with a slight cleft lip the nurses where impressed and said what a grate job for a young mum and I was a natural, well it was fine she was a grate baby only waked 2-3 times a night had no pain it was all looking up till we hit the 9 week mark she started to get a little more fussy, which was not her, wated to feed every 20-30 min I was thinking is this normal, she had been in a solid routine from day one. So I just keep'ed going thinking she might be just be having a bad week, well by the end of the week it was bad she was screening, and just not right so I dropped in to my clinic to see the nurse and get a check I'm glad I did she said well she's dehydrated and lost weight, I was in shock and asked the nurse why, shes feeding every 20-30 min. she went on to say your supply is dropping off and shes not getting enugh from you, you need to go to the doctors and get some pills to increase your supply. I said how long do thay take to work? May be a week or two she said, well what am I suposed to do while thay work? She gave me a death stair and said you need BF your baby! I quickly replied with to hell with that she need food, and went strate to the chemist and got FF and bottles and she did grate back to the dream child in a day, I felt so guilty that I had unknownly staved my baby and had know Idear what was going on not the fact that I couldn't BF With DS (number 2) I was strate on to it, i stocked up on FF and bottles from week 2 and yep started to dry up around week 9 I had a go at pumping this time between BF and FF for a good week but found it would take a good hour to get 10mill so I stopped and FF from then on it was grate to be able to sleep when he did and not be pumping and get no where This time around (number 3) on the way I will do the same BF till I dry up, and have bottles and FF if it goes pair shaped if it goes longer grate if not its not the end of the world. Thanks again, sorry for the spelling and gramma:) I do try #42Posted 17 October 2013 - 12:43 PM
Hi there,
It has taken me a long time to consider the best way to approach my feelings towards my 'failure' to breastfeed. Failure is the wrong word but I guess it's often how we feel and sometimes how we're labelled. I have approached my story on my blog (so I won't re-tell it here) in an effort to give others a chance to see (like with this forum) that the guilt ridden path is unnecessary and it's possible to pass through it and subsequently shake it off. Regardless, thanks EB for providing somewhere for mothers to feel connected on this subject. #43Posted 05 September 2014 - 08:06 PM
Just found this thread, and really appreciate reading the stories of others who have also struggled.
I feel like we were behind from day one. I have flat nipples and DS almost ruined them that first two days. We then went on to shields and pumping (because DS was starving). The hospital grade pump was so painful, I shudder to think of it. We got home and BF'ing was taking two and a half hours. I was BF'ing for 12-14 hours a day and every time DS would cry for food half an hour later as it was taking so long he was hungry so quickly afterwards. It would take him up to 5 minutes to latch on and he would SCREAM the whole time he was trying to figure it out. After three weeks of this I started expressing full-time, with DS bottle fed. It was so painful I had to hand express (I got quite good at it). I had to supplement with two formula feeds a day as DS has always been a big drinker. I was basically housebound as you can't express in public (at least I can't) and I was having to express after the 1am and 4am feed so I was exhausted and I was miserable. So at 7 weeks I started to slowly stop expressing and now at 9 weeks I fed DS his last EBM bottle yesterday (and cried). I honestly thought BF'ing would be easy for me. I don't know why. I now feel guilty that I am loving the carefree joys of only expressing to avoid discomfort as opposed to providing food...... but not so guilty that I am prepared to ramp back up again. This is about my sanity and my sleep. I can go out without counting the minutes to rushing back home. I can feed DS in the middle of the night and go straight back to sleep. These things do matter (to me). Anyway, this thread is a great way of getting it off my chest (ha ha). Now I'm off to bed and DH is staying up to the dream feed... another advantage of formula feeding!! #44Posted 06 September 2014 - 02:13 PM
I have had issues from day 1 too. DD hasn't ever latched so hand expressed at hospital and the LC suggested to try nipple shields. We did and they have been working. Then my milk was delayed and didn't come in until day 8!! So I had a very hungry baby and I was very upset. As a result we started formula feeding top ups, which I felt really guilty about because of the 'breast is best' message. We have also had two more appointments with the LC, which makes me so nervous they will point out what I'm doing wrong when I'm trying so hard.

Does your department have a thick blue wall between brass and officer?(iStock Photo)
On March 8, 2011, Carlos Boles fired on officers who went to serve him with a felony warrant at his home in St. Louis. Boles shot Deputy U.S. Marshal John Perry, another U.S. Marshal and a St. Louis police officer. Boles was killed when officers returned fire. John Perry later died from his wounds.
A photo of Boles' dead body began circulating the city. The St. Louis Police Department launched an internal affairs investigation into who took the photo and how it was disseminated. Ultimately, the Department sought a court order for identified officers' cell phone photo records, claiming the officers were not cooperating with the investigation and providing the relevant information voluntarily.
Last month, in Cops Lose Personal Cell Phone Privacy, we examined the officers' Fourth Amendment privacy rights to their personal cell phone records
But something else in the media blitz drew my attention -- how quickly department brass and the officers became strident adversaries.
A Break Between Ranks
In an early public statement announcing an immediate investigation, the St. Louis PD declared, "This photo is incredibly distasteful. …Actions like this threaten the professionalism and integrity of ALL law enforcement. There is an ongoing Internal Affairs investigation to determine if a St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department employee took the photo and if so, the offending employee will absolutely be disciplined by this Department." [Click here for reported story.]
The local Police Officers Association (POA) was quick to respond to the subsequent request for cell phone records. A spokesman told the media, "We have a witch hunt. It's awful for morale. To come into work and to know that your administrator doesn't have your back, doesn't think that you have the same [Fourth Amendment] rights as every criminal out there has." [Click here for reported story.]
When a judge ruled the identified officers had to turn over a limited set of their cell phone records, the POA spokesman said the association would immediately recommend that officers stop using personal cell phones on official business, a practice on which the department had come to depend. [Click here for reported story.]
The reports of the investigation at the time of this writing indicate:
- An officer took a picture of Boles' body at the scene
- The photo was circulated amongst an undetermined number of officers
- Its leak outside the department was inadvertent.
Could This Have Been Handled Differently by Both Sides?
John Perry died in the line of duty and two other officers were wounded. What disturbed me was how their sacrifices were being overshadowed by the public sniping within the ranks.
I consulted my friend and colleague, Patricia Robinson. Pat has two master degrees and a Ph.D. At 43, she decided there was more to life than academia and she became a cop. She took her street experience into the academy as a training officer and then director of the Wisconsin Training and Standards Bureau. She's now a college dean of criminal justice. Add to this background, her intelligence and sense of irony, and I often seek Pat's perspective.
I asked Pat, "What if, instead of immediately going to the press and denouncing the officers' conduct as threatening to the integrity and professionalism of all law enforcement, the brass had gone to the officers first and said, 'Look, we're all hurting. Emotions are understandably intense. Intense emotions can cloud judgment and I think that's what happened here. But even in times of pain and sorrow, we are held to a higher standard.
We've got to face the community on this and work together to make sure it doesn't happen again -- so we can get back to the work that John Perry gave his life to. I want us to continue to help each other through our grief and I want us to resolve this photo issue together. I'll do my best to help you through both. I'm not saying there won't be consequences -- there will, there must. I respect you enough to know you understand that. But I'll be there for you through the grief and the consequences and I'm confident we can meet on the other side of both and continue to build John's legacy.'"
And maybe the brass and the officers could have stood together at a press conference where they all said:
- What happened was an error in judgment based on intense emotions at the loss of a fellow officer;
- We are not offering excuses or justification;
- The entire department accepts they should be held to the highest standards;
- The offending officers have come forward and fully cooperated;
- They never intended the photo to go outside the department but understand even that circulation was wrong;
- They are ready to be disciplined; and
- We intend to strive to deserve all the public support shown Marshal Perry and the two wounded officers.
That's when Pat gave me the perspective I so treasure her for. She said, "Your scenario would only work if the officers trusted the brass."
