I'm off to build my Dream Team ...
Why you should read this book:
1) The Four Mindsets: Intimacy, Generosity, Vulnerability, Candor
This follows up on the mindsets Ferrazzi explored in his first book, Never Eat Alone. Building relationships, and repairing relationships, using these mindsets will greatly enhance and fuel all types of relationships, and increase your chances of maintaining strong, successful alliances. These four mindsets are core to building trust.
2) Building a Dream Team: We all have dreams, and we need strong relationships to help us realize those dreams. Once we've accepted that conducting our relationships through the lens of the four mindsets contributes to our success, building a dream team to help us fuel our success is the next logical step. Ferrazzi outlines nine steps to building a dream team. Not sure if the steps work or not, since Ferrazzi doesn't present hardcore evidence that actual, real live individuals have used these steps successfully, but Ferrazzi's nine steps includes many practical and tactical ideas that logically should work, and seem worth trying.
3) Holding Each Member Accountable: Without accountability in the group and among individuals, teams become lazy, complacent, loose focus, and derail. Ferrazzi does a nice job of explaining safe ways to implement accountability measures into your organizational, or dream, teams.
What I Didn't Like About This Book:
As was the standard in Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi does lots of name dropping. My eyes glassed over with all the name-dropping. Ferrazzi's message would have been much stronger and clearer without all the lip service.

People are waiting to help you if you just ask
In Ferrazzi's first mega best selling book, "Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time" he wrote the definitive reference book for building your career and creating success through networking and building relationships. "Who's Got Your Back: The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep, Trusting Relationships That Create Success--and Won't Let You Fail" is the natural next step on your road to success and fulfillment by giving you the definitive reference for becoming successful and fulfilled by building upon the power of your most important relationships - one where you deeply care about each other, hold each other accountable and kick each other in the butt when either of you need to.
You really can't get anywhere alone and once you realize and accept that, Who's Got Your Back? will be the best guide you will ever find to making it happen.

The most practical book you'll ever read!
Keith Ferrazzi is the science of success. With Who's Got Your Back he gives us the roadmap in how to failproof our goals in this new economy.
Ferrazzi doesn't discriminate any age group. His ease in writing style appeals to all crowds who are willing to learn, improve and succeed.
Ferrazzi's philosophies are the perfect compliment to globalization. He warms up the business world to make it a friendlier, productive and more successful place to be.
Keith Ferrazzi has made his business to be sincere and sincerity to become a business!
If you're into self improvement, ambitions, and goal keeping skills, buy Keith Ferrazzi's new book!
I was fortunate enough to read the galley of the book. This is truly a wonderful book. Think about how a successful CEO who has achieved so much AND is willing to help you with no strings attached at all. Keith Ferrazzi is full of generosity! Why would he take time out to help us with this book? It's because Keith really cares. It means so much to me that someone else cares about my success aside from myself; that other person is Keith Ferrazzi.
I have a strong appreciate for Keith Ferrazzi's work because I've built upon the foundation of his philosophies from "Never Eat Alone." When you read that book, you want to re-read it several times. "Never Eat Alone" is a great prelude to "Who's got your back." "Never Eat Alone" was an awakening; Keith teaches you how to connect with others in a sincere and warm way. He also motivates you to find your passion. As a young person who wants to do so much in life, be ambitious and successful, I really need to be goal oriented. "Who's got your back" truly breaks down the processes of how to make your goals and keep them. This book is key to personal development and success. This is why I call Keith Ferrazzi's "Who's got your back" as the science of success. When you read the book, you'll understand the heart and labor and research that went into creating this book.
Turn off the television for a while. Step away from the internet and that noisy cell phone. Take some time to read this book. You won't feel vulnerable to the crises going on in the world. Instead, you'll understand how to improve yourself and become a lean-mean goal keeping person!
Keith's books have given me hope, a boost in my emotional well being as well as my intellect. All those quirky ideas in my head can actually become dreams. Keith mentions that as long as you have a desire to improve, that's all you need to get started. When I picked up "Never Eat Alone" last summer, I felt like a failed attempt at being pre-med. I was wallowing in depression trying to figure out what the heck to do. Keith's books and GreenlightCommunity.com both helped me out a lot!!!
The great thing about Keith's works is that you can complement it with his GreenlightCommunity.com website. Once you understand the basis of Keith's philosophies, this website will give you many opportunities to grow with like minded individuals.
Love yourself! Make the most out of your time! Read this book! You are your most precious asset. Now get on your lotus cloud, like I did, with Keith Ferrazzi's works!

Accessible manual for personal team building
Achieving lofty personal and professional goals in life isn't easy. And, as consultant and author Keith Ferrazzi argues in this compelling team-building manual, it's nearly impossible to do alone. But find three like-minded, experienced and tough people who care about you, who tell the truth and who understand accountability, and you'll attain your goal a lot easier - whether it's losing 20 pounds, climbing to the top of the sales chart, avoiding conflict or giving up a detrimental habit like bragging. Ferrazzi details how to create a "dream team" to push you to the next stage - finding the right people, building solid relationships, setting goals and dodging pitfalls. Filled with relatable don't-do-what-I-did stories from Ferrazzi, the book makes the whole process sound easy - perhaps a bit too easy. Still, this recipe for success seems to include all the right ingredients. getAbstract suggests this persuasive book to any ambitious soul who is looking to reach the stars with the backing of a dedicated team.Was this review helpful?

Sophomore Slump
Whereas the first book "Never Eat Alone" was a classic (where I purchased dozens of books as gifts); this is pretty weak. Don't waste your money on this one.

Keith Ferrazzi Teaches 9 Steps to Achieve Your Goals in Life - Business or Personal
I believe I'm an efficient manager, but to really achieve what I want in life - to be a recognized published writer, Ferrazzi says one must search for a "dream team," a team that will provide the daily support you need to succeed with your goals. Think of three people you communicate with daily/weekly, then eliminate them, states Ferrazzi. One needs to find a strong network who will fulfill the 4 C's: commitment, comprehension, chemistry and curiosity (and diversity). This should not be a quick deduction as to who will be your lifelines while planning and writing your goals as many companies overlook the "who" in their search, but a succession of carefully planned goal setting steps. An inspiration for the meek as well as the bold business executive, Ferrazzi is truly an energizing speaker who helps every one to believe they can finally reach their goals in life. Keith Ferrazzi is on tour now, promoting his book Who's Got Your Back, sponsored by University of Phoenix who will be at the Q Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on Sept. 10.Was this review helpful?

Build Your Dream Team with a Few Key Trusted Individuals Who Will Help You Succeed
Much more than a self help book, author Keith Ferrazzi claims "Who's Got Your Back" is "the world's very first let others help you" book. According to this book, the real path to your success is not by going at it alone but rather by creating inner relationships with only a few trusted key individuals who won't let you fail, no matter what. Those who will offer encouragement, support, feedback, and more to help you achieve any small or major goal you have; those "who have your back." Upon finishing this book, I have realized that it is not enough to just read this book, but you must practice the actual principles in order to become more successful in life, in relationships, and business. This book teaches such principles like intimacy, candor, vulnerability, generosity, accountability and much more. Such chapters include how to find your "dream team" and how to make them work for you as well as how to stay the right course to achieve your chosen goals. I am looking forward to seeing Keith Ferrazzi in person, when he visits Cleveland Ohio September 10th 2009 at the Quicken Loans Arena from 6-8pm. It is a free event, so I will be sure to register on his website ahead of time. This book is so powerful and special that it should not be taken lightly; definite actions need to be taken when you have finished reading this book. What are you waiting for? Go build your dream team, and allow others help you!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Even "Independent-minded" people need a team of advisers
If you're like me, and you take pride in your own self-sufficiency, you may find that one of your greatest strengths is also your greatest weakness. I didn't really understand this until reading Keith Ferrazzi's "Who's Got Your Back," but my colleague lent this book to me before we went to see Ferrazzi speak at the Q in Cleveland on September 10.Was this review helpful?

I consider myself a pretty independent person, and in America, we place a lot of importance in being independent. I'd imagine that it's a great asset in just about every industry. But as this book points out, there's really no such thing of a truly self-made man or woman. Behind every successful person is a team of advisers that has offered crucial advice and guidance. This book helps you assemble your own dream team of advisers. And it shows you how you can get the most out of this team. If you're like me and not used to asking for advice, Ferrazzi lays out four key "mindsets" (generosity, vulnerability, candor and accountability) that will help you foster lasting and beneficial connections. The insights offered in each of these mindsets are great for building a rapport and relationship with just about anyone.

A must have for the Leadership Library
Skip the acknowledgments or you will think everyone should have your back. Otherwise, this was an idea-provoking book. This book pooled several leadership ideas into one source. It combines a successful leadership process with relationship building for a never fail outcome. Keith's willingness to expose his own failing shows the road to accountability is possible as long as there is a good support team in place. It was truly a bright light during these stressful times of 2009.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Who's Got Your Back - Better than his 1st book, goes much deeper!
Keith Ferrazzi, the world's most connected man, is reinventing himself with Who's Got Your Back. Once focused on how to target and connect to the 25 people you need to be more successful and get hard results from relationships, now Keith shows his softer side in finding and working with the 3 close relationships that won't let you fail.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
I like this book better than the first because it goes deeper into individual and group psychology. Why we do what we do (try to be lonely superman) and how we can develop a few relationships that will not only help drive our success, but enhance our personal happiness as well.
Being a small business owner it is so important to have a solid support network in all stations of the workplace that can help you grow and connect with the community. Being a former corporate man though I can also see this being critical to figuring out what you want to focus your life around if you haven't already and/or finding the right guidance to navigate (or circumvent) the hierarchies and politics of big business. I saw Keith speak recently at a friend's company and he blew people away. The line to talk to him after wards was out the door.
I definitely recommended this business/life book both for the new, more human perspective it lends (i.e. we are all human and need each others guidance and support)and the clear tactics it lays out to actually bring this perspective into your life. Easy reading too.

Solid Read for People Who Are Ready to Take Positive Action & Believe in Collaboration
For me, Ferrazzi's "Who's Got Your Back" wasn't as game changing as its predecessor, "Never Eat Alone," but it's still a very solid book that will appeal to a large vertical of professionals.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
The premise of the book is that you can't get to the top, or anywhere for that matter, relying solely on yourself and that the key to achieving your dreams comes from having "lifeline relationships."
The book gets a little long-winded and didn't feel quite as actionable to me as I would've liked, but that could very well be because I'm very deeply embedded in this space and already practice a lot of what Keith discusses in the book on an everyday basis.
The four mind-sets he discusses in the book should be something everyone immediately, if they haven't already, implements into their lives regardless of whether or not they choose to pursue the other insights in the book.
Once you understand the four mindsets, Keith takes you through how to build and assemble your own dream team that will invariably help you accomplish your life's goals.
I absolutely loved certain aspects of this book that will change the way you approach the task oriented relationships in your life. Pay special attention to long slow dinners, collaborating as opposed to compromising, and the idea of sparring to help you glean insight surrounding key decisions.
The end of book does get more actionable, including quite a few bullet points that are worth scanning the pages and revisiting again later until you become proficient at creating the groups Keith discusses.
If you're inspired to take positive action in your life and see the power of the collaboration, particularly with the emergence of online tools that aid this process, then chances are this book is for you.
And as an aside, whether it's intended to be or not, this is a GREAT book for business and team leaders that really want to become better at managing their teams. There are so many subtle examples of how leaders have emphasized the four mindsets to engage their teams and help themselves become better leaders. If you're a leader who is unsure of your leadership or find that your team is increasingly frustrated or put off by your leadership style, do yourself a favor and read this book.

Fantastic Resource for Building Your Own Dream Team!
OK, I was a fan of Keith Ferrazzi's when I read his first book, Never Eat Alone. But in his latest work, Who's Got Your Back, I've met a new soulmate! As the facilitator of several master mind groups studying various works to help us all go deeper, I see the power of the master mind at work every single day. I'm quite clear on the WHY behind relationship building. With Keith's new book, I now have a great set of HOW tools to take my groups to the next level of relationship building success.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Keith's premise is that when you discover the power of relationships and then intentionally build your own dream team, or what he calls "lifeline relationships," you can achieve absolutely anything for yourself and your life.
By demonstrating his four Mind-sets (Generosity, Vulnerability, Candor and Accountability) through his own stories, I learned so much about my own stories. In 2003 I discovered myself to be constitutionally unemployable and became an accidental entrepreneur, struggling at times to have any clue about what I was doing. Seeking focus while still learning and growing, I often found myself running in circles. Keith had similar struggles with his own learning which is why this book has so much meat and meaning for me.
Entrepreneurs and business owners and parents and anyone who wants to achieve anything beyond where they currently find themselves will find value in this book. I think intuitively we know we don't want to be in this life alone; but our conditioning somewhere along the line has taught us that it's not OK to reach out.
Keith gives us permission to be human and helps us resolve our conditioning against candor and honesty with our relationships. He even points out how sparring is a skill that can be developed and is hugely mutually beneficial to dream teams committed to each others' success. Through several case studies and stories, we see firsthand how others have integrated these ideas and the successes they are experiencing in their own personal and professional lives.
I'm going to be using this book at the foundation for a future master mind study here in Fargo and will have more to share when we get to that point, so watch this blog for updates throughout the summer.

Build your trusted inner circle
This book is about developing an inner circle of advisors who will never let you fail. This book is both inspiring and actionable - a very strong combination. I found this book to be a very reasonable and achievable approach - in other words, something I believe I can actually do. Why do I mention this? Well, when I read Keith's first book "Never Eat Alone," I was inspired but very intimidated - "Never Eat Alone" felt very compelling, but I believed Keith must be some kind of Superhero to be able to do all of the things he described in any sustained way.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
In "Who's Got Your Back," Keith shares some of his challenges and helps us see that he is Mere Mortal after all. In fact, he talks about how some of the relationship skillz he mentions in "Never Eat Alone" were missing inside his company. [I can relate - I do a much better with communication, organization, and relationship management at work than I do at home.]
He then goes on to share how he has found 3 key people in his life that provide him with unvarnished feedback, encouragement, and input on life strategies. These are the 3 people who will not let him fail - the 3 people who have "got his back."

The best thing to do is to use the HP Recovery Disks and bring the laptop back to a day one factory condition. This is a good idea for many reasons. If you don't have the HP Recovery Disks then order a set from HP (~$20). HP Recovery Disks. The sticker on the laptop should give you all the information that you will need to give HP. If the sticker was removed, then boot into the bios (setup) and look for the model, build and serial number etc..

Some parents in Southeastern North Carolina are discussing the idea of charter schools- schools that operate slightly outside the general public school system. They want more responsibility for the education of their children. This idea is not new, especially for blacks in rural areas, who for many years had little or no governmental support.
At the end of the War Between the States, blacks in the rural Cape Fear Region were more than willing to take responsibility for themselves, including the education of hundreds of landless, illiterate freedmen. Following the direction of their white brethren they began to set up Sunday schools. The former slaves who could read were recruited to teach at these, their first schools.
This was the the beginning of a long-standing practice of segregated schools for blacks.
Surprisingly, for many blacks this was not a particularly dark time in our history. Today, more than ever blacks are commemorating the demise of their 'community controlled schools'. One such alumni reunion took place at East Arcadia School in Bladen County.
They filed through the doors. The younger one moving hesitantly as though they were returning to the scene of the crime. The elders set their own individual pace - some moving with the stride that belied their age. Others used canes to guide their not so steady legs. These were the graduates of East Arcadia School. The classes of 1937-1970 were returning to celebrate their segregated school years.
Some sons and daughters came with parents. Several of the Dixon family graduates came with their father, Mr. Levi who spoke eloquently of a distant past when there was no school beyond the seventh grade. "You had to go to Burgaw to attend the nearest high school". Mr. Levi Dixon who at the time was is in late seventies, recited "If" by Ruyard Kipling, never pausing except, when Kipling deemed it appropriate.
There was much talk of how wonderful things were back then. Memories that time had made sweeter. Forgotted were the books that were never new and bore familiar names of whites in the county. Instead, we chose to recall our struggle and triumph in learning to recite classics such as "The House by the Side of the Road."
Some recalled the barn-like gym, built by the WWII veterans of the East Arcadia community. My daddy was on of those who traveled to Camp Butner, near Raleigh, brought the building to the present site and reconstructed it. One of my sharpest memories is of a place where the smell of mustard on steaming hot dogs filled the air — a place where girls basketball ruled the day — a place where men stepped outside for a nip of "fresh air" while mothers set on the sidelines and openly nursed their babies.
I remembered the games of the 1960s when my mother, stayed up late to talk to us about our game that night. She wold recant the days when she played guard for the 1937-38 East Arcadia Panthers, "I used to throw the ball all the way down court to Evelina, who was right under the basket." She and my eldest sister, Fredia (class of '58) were taught and coached by 'Pop' Davis.
East Arcadia was one of the many all-black schools that existed long after Brown v. Broad of Education — undisturbed in it's segregated status. "With all deliberate speed" in this part of North Carolina meant "when we get around to it."
It wasn't until 1970 that the inevitable happened — "with all deliberate speed" was right now. Black parents in the East Arcadia community met the de-segregation order with resistance. You would have thought they would be pleased that their children were going to a "white school." But to those parents, there had to be more justification for their children getting up at the crack of dawn in order to travel 30 miles to Elizabethtown. Ben Chavis, a member of the "Wilmington 10" eagerly joined the parents in their March to Raleigh, but to no avail. Integration and forced busing had finally arrived.
For a community that considered change to be what you got back from a dollar and a place where home-grown teachers were more accountable to the parents than to the Board of Education- this was an end of an era. One that had begun at a time when blacks had no choice but to take control of their own destiny. That time has not past.

Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic

TOKYO – Don't call it a comeback yet, but Sony Corp. has a new lineup of digital music players that are slicing into the popularity of Apple Computer's iPod device in Japan.
Apple is still squashing Sony in Europe and North America, where the iPod has achieved iconic status and a big selling point is the availability of iTunes, an easy-to-use music downloading service that has not yet been launched in Japan.
While Apple remains the top seller of hard drive players in Japan, there has been a decisive momentum swing in the Japanese market, with Sony securing the top position for memory-type players in both May and June, knocking Apple and its iPod shuffle device into second place.
Translating that success overseas will not be easy, but boosting sales in Japan is an important first step for Sony as it tries to reclaim the lead in the portable audio market it helped pioneer with the Walkman cassette player 26 years ago.
"There is no question that Sony has the potential of being much more competitive," said Tim Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies, a U.S.-based research firm. "It could emerge as a more formidable rival to Apple over the next three years."
Launched worldwide in March and April, Sony's new lineup of music players includes several models equipped with flash memory chips able to store 256, 512 megabytes or 1 gigabyte of data, and two players with hard disk drives.
Of those, Sony's gains in the Japanese market have come primarily from one line of flash memory players that have won over consumers with a long-lasting battery — it can play up to 50 hours on one charge — and a stylish design.
Resembling a small perfume bottle, the players have a rounded body that strikes a sharp contrast with the shuffle's rectangular shape and flat front. Sony's players also feature a display to view what music is playing, while the iPod shuffle does not.
"Design is one of the main factors consumers now look at when buying a portable audio player. They have become like accessories, so having something that looks good is a must," said Shinichi Iwata, who oversees marketing of the Walkman in Japan.
Sony's players are more expensive than the shuffle, but enough consumers seem willing to pay the extra price.
According to market research company BCN, Sony's share of the Japanese market for flash memory players went from just 4 percent in March to 16 percent in April and shot up to 27 percent in May and June. Apple's share has fallen to under 20 percent.
Sony has not issued official sales forecasts for the new flash memory players, but Iwata said demand in Japan had so far been double what the company initially expected.
Sales of the hard drive units have been less impressive, but that is not surprising as Sony's only players on the market are 20 and 30 gigabyte (GB) models, leaving it without a product to go head-to-head with Apple's hot-selling iPod mini device.
The mini comes in a 4 GB or 6 GB model, holding 1,000 or 1,500 songs — just about right for many consumers who don't feel the need to carry around their entire CD collection. Sony players, for example, can store more than 10,000 songs.
Sony has made its new Walkmans compatible with the MP3 format, meaning consumers can now download and play back more common MP3 files. Some previous models had been compatible only with Sony's proprietary Atrac format, which hindered sales.
Despite the improvements, analysts say Sony's new Walkmans have not sold as well in Europe and North America and several hurdles remain to its success in those markets.
One is Apple's entrenched position. According to industry data, Apple holds 60 to 70 percent of the U.S. digital music player market and is also very strong in Europe.
Several low-cost Asian makers are also fighting for a piece of the market, which researcher In-Stat predicts will nearly quadruple to 104 million units a year by 2009.
Among the top players are Singapore's Creative Technology Ltd., South Korea's Reigncom Ltd's iRiver, and Rio, owned by D&M Holdings Inc.
Another challenge for Sony will be developing more appealing jukebox software and a download service that consumers perceive to be just as easy to navigate as iTunes. Sony has not had much success so far with its "Connect" online music store.
"Based on the hardware they look very sharp. But Sony's big challenge has always been to create software that is easy to use right out of the box," said Jon Erensen, a U.S.-based analyst at research firm Gartner who tracks the music player market.
Erensen said lack of an iTunes online store aimed at users in Japan was a major reason behind Sony's success in its home market. That could change if Apple, as a newspaper reported, unleashes iTunes in Japan next month. Apple declined comment.
The job of coming up with a cohesive strategy to overtake Apple will fall on the Connect Company, a unit established by Sony late last year to bring together disparate software and hardware operations into one entity with common goals.
Analysts say prospects for gains in market share are much greater since Howard Stringer became Sony's new chief executive last month promising to break down the "silo walls" around individual business units.
Sony's problems in the portable audio market have been widely blamed on infighting between music and hardware divisions over antipiracy issues and a general lack of focus. Both the PC and Walkman units put out their own hard drive players last year.
"Because Stringer comes out of the entertainment business, he understands the ramifications of them losing the digital Walkman market to Apple. And I am convinced that he is obsessed with trying to beat Apple at their own game," Bajarin said.

Kinect Gears of War: Exile game canceled by Epic Games
The rumored Gears of War: Exile game will never see the light of day. Cliff Bleszinski, Epic Games design director recently confirmed that the project was scrapped.
News around Gears of War: Exile first surfaced back in January of 2011 when Epic Games trademarked the name. According to sources, Gears of War: Exile was to be an on-rails Kinect game. Also, an insider revealed on the Xbox 360 World Magazine that the game would be unveiled at E3 last year, but was no where to be found at the trade show.
Bleszinski confirmed to Gamespot recently that Exile was indeed an actual game that was under development at the studio, but has since been canceled.
Bleszinski stated:
Let's just bury the hatchet now. Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can't give any details about that has since been cancelled.
This news comes on the heel of the lackluster reception of Kinect Star Wars, which managed a 55 on Metacritic. If you recall several E3's ago, Kinect Star Wars was once touted as Microsoft's poster child for what a hardcore Kinect experience could be like. It will be interesting to see if Fable: The Journey will be able to succeed where others have failed.

When I saw the post, I was hoping the atheistic pseudo-song would at least fit the meter. Like:
"If I'm a believing straight / Then hell-fire won't be my fate." But it seems the author lacked that much ability/imagination/willingness to put in the effort. Incidentally, the song does not apply to modern Roman Catholics. Vatican II made it clear that people who follow their beliefs consistently (and their unbeliefs too) all have a shot at heaven, and only they and God can know their hearts. As for homosexuality, the church thinks that human beings, including gays, will ultimately be happier as celibates who refrain from homosexual acts or as faithful heterosexual married people. But even gays who follow their conscience, like Plato for example, the Church teaches we cannot say go to hell. Having a clear conscience is the important factor. It might be that having a bad conscience for all eternity is in fact everything hell amounts to, in which case hell is not inflicted by God, but by human beings upon themselves.

I cannot speak for all atheists, but personally I am not concerned with imaginary gods. I am however, very much concerned with the message of hate that is spread by so many people whose only link is their belief in the same god. The myth is not of concern, the actions that are supported by said myth are a big concern.

HELP! I'm 39 weeks 5 days and the last several days I keep getting really painful contractions on and off all day. Then at night or early morning I am getting even more intense contractions that are 9-10 minutes apart timed. These are more painful than period cramps (and I have bad ones so I'm no wuss) and only last for about 30 seconds and then stop. Last night this went on for about 3 hours then started to slow down around bedtime. I realize my body is just practicing, but from talking to my mom and all my friends, no one has experienced practice labor like this. Most of them have had Braxton Hicks with no pain or similar to period cramps and they aren't at regular time intervals or for several hours one after another. Is this normal? I'm driving myself crazy thinking I might be in labor every night, and then it slows after a few hours of wondering.
Intense Braxton Hick Contractions?
Just know that you arent the only one! I have been getting them bad at night and in the early morning. I am so ready to see my little girl.
I never had Braxton Hicks with my son, this is all new for me. I can tell you that im not a fam and do not like them at all!

Mine aren't timeable but they are def. intense. I keep freaking the girls at work out everytime I have to stop and grab the wall or something like that. Last night I walked bow legged for 30 mins because I swear if I had put my hand up there I would have felt his head.
Everyone and every labor is different so no matter who you talk to nothing is ever going to be the same. Wish I had better advice then that. All I know is this kid could come any time now and I would be ok with that! Good luck momma!!
I have the BEST job ever. Now if it would just pay me in SLEEP!!!!!!
Thanks ladies! That's what's so hard @poetrybabe because I know everyone is so different it's impossible to know what to expect! This is my first, I don't have a sister and my pregnancy is nothing like my mom's so I don't even have a close frame of reference that might be more similar to me. I'm totally happy to practice labor -- I'm planning on going natural so I appreciate this is really is prepping my body. I'm just making myself insane thinking I might be in labor every night when this happens! Hopefully I'll know it's the real deal when it's time. I feel like my body is crying wolf. Lol!
Ive been having such strong BH I feel like I can't stand and feel really nausous during them.

My BH combined with the karate chops from the baby make me sooo uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels like the wind is knocked out of me. They're not timeable for me.
I just keep having to remind myself that the more uncomfortable I am now, the easier labor will most likely be.

"In fact, the rigid hierarchical organization researchers have ascribed to nearly all animal packs and troops over the past fifty years is based less on animal behavior than on an unconscious desire to find in nature a correlative to our hierarchical structures, be they business, the military, or the 'traditional' family with Dad on top."
Mark Derr, Dog's Best Friend: Annals of the Dog-Human Relationship (2004)
This 29th Feb posting will be limited to a brief statement regarding a very disconcerting recent development in the local 'Dog Whisperer' story. So it relates to the previous series, and unfortunately breaks my resolve to avoid any direct and personal commentary on either the details surrounding these incidents, or about the individual at the centre of them. However this does demand some response from someone in the business.
But let me first provide some context. Ever since the incident on Clifton beach on January 11th and the flood of negative publicity that accompanied it, James Lech has continuously claimed that the reportage has been fundamentally inaccurate, and that this misrepresentation has unfairly damaged his reputation. The proof of this, we have been told time and time again, will be made abundantly clear in a 'report' he keeps promising to compile, author and publish on his blog. However, this keeps getting postponed for reasons best known to him alone.

In the final post in this series (delayed I know), I'll offer some thoughts on just one or two of the issues that most concern me about how some trainers and behaviour professionals approach "aggression" cases in dogs. This I'll contrast with more established and informed methods of B-Mod (behaviour modification), as well as some of the advantages of more recent advances, incorporating an assessment of emotion and mood and its relationship to behaviour. I do this for a simple reason – since I first started working in this field I have been consistently alarmed at just how many 'trainers', 'consultants' and 'behaviourists' continue to ply a very lucrative trade based on claims of knowledge and expertise, or near-miraculous instinctive skills, they appear not to possess.

Local Dog Whisperer: Whispering Sweet Nothings – Part 2
'Dog Whispering' is largely a media contrivance. It alludes to the "Whisperer" moniker made famous by Monty Roberts in his work with horses, and directly appropriates the title of Paul Owens' 1999 book "The Dog Whisperer" – a very different kettle of fish entirely, promoting as it did an entirely positive reinforcement approach to training dogs.
The entire television package is carefully crafted – its shrewd juxtaposition of a telegenic matinee idol over an overtly macho rendering of how to interpret and alter undesirable dog behaviour – and it has proved to be a winning formula. Add a little New Age mysticism, and some rehashed 'energy theory', and it's a marketer's dream. The end-product is a bizarre concoction of fact and fantasy – sort of Marlboro Man meets Dr Doolittle meets Deepak Chopra – and from the moment the programme first aired, it seemed to fire the popular imagination.

Local 'Dog Whisperer's' dogs bite.. again: The Incidents – Part I
Accidents do happen.. or so they say. And I guess it's true (rhetorically, in any case), that any dog can bite under some specific set of circumstances. But when the dog that bites is owned and supposedly under the control of a controversial and opinionated young 'dog rehabilitator/shaman/psychologist/whisperer' with no recognizable roots in the local dog world, and no apparent industry-specific qualifications in a field already compromised by its lack of official regulation, it quickly becomes controversial.. and newsworthy. And when this sort of thing has happened twice to the same self-promoting individual, in different places and at different times, with each event posing serious questions about the human judgment in play, it just screams out for an investigation into the circumstances that led to this, and of the bona-fides of the individual implicated.

And Bruce hits into a Phillips.
And Bruce hits into a Phillips.
Reds have registered 10 SOs today. All season Lynn has shown to be a pretty hittable pitcher, yet the Reds only have 3 against him so far.... These bats need a jolt!
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Cardinals now pulling people out of the stands to hit.
And the Reds allow Zach Duke to "opt out" rather than call him up. Yep, wouldn't want to risk losing studs like Villarreal off our 40-man roster. Great call, Walt!
I bet Walt is currently taking his second nap of the day.
That would be quite some ascent though! not sure if any players have achieved that.
Apparently there is a whole Wikipedia page on players who made their debut in the Majors without playing a game at a Minor League affiliate (this doesnt count Winter or Fall leagues).
Mike Leake was on of them.... should have known that!

I get it that it looks bleak at times, but c'mon....there's 2 freaking months left! You know how many things can (and will) happen in that space of time? Arizona could go on a tear, the Pirates could lose 8 strait, all KINDS of things could happen. And maybe one of those things could be the Reds catching fire.
Remember boys, pitching is king. The Reds have that. Frazier will get some big hits, Luddy WILL return. Good luck vs the West this week.
After two against Oakland, the Reds get 10 against the Padres, Cubs and Brewers. So there is that.
Heads of state that ride and wrangle. That look at your face from more than one angle. Can cut you from their bloated budgets. Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.
wow i go do something else and tape the game as the Reds were down only 4-2 and now its 11-2????? Congrads Walt on sitting still and accepting less than .500 play for the past 2 months!!! No changes at all that help the team and you wonder why they are puttering along. Watch the Dbacks and A's sweep their butts...
I guess Villarreal isn't on until the bitter end after all.
