Everyone tells me horror stories about childbirth. Should I ask them to stop?
Since the day I found out I was pregnant, women have been telling me horror stories about childbirth. I've heard things that would make your toes curl. I try to ignore them, but some accounts scare me to the point of tears. This is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect from the delivery. Why do people feel the need to share their most awful birth experiences instead of the joyous ones?

I have to say I didn't have a great experience with my first and I was so mad that no one told me about this issues which is why I have shared but I try to do it with care not to scare.posted 07/21/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I too have noticed that many women tend to get competitive with horror stories of traumatic pregnancies and births. It's my first pregnancy, and I'm 13 weeks along. I have had a really rough time with the "morning" sickness. When I mention how hard it's been and that I'm hoping it will be better during my 2nd trimester to other moms, often they reply with some horror story of how they were puking their brains out for the entire nine months. A simple, "Don't worry. It'll get better," would suffice, but I rarely get that from other moms. Perhaps my nausea will last the whole nine months, but I'm a firm believer in optimism and positive thinking. Dreading that I'll have a terrible pregnancy will not making it any easier!posted 07/21/2008 by Reagan Deal
Well, although there are negative experiences, a lot is how you perceive your own experience! MOST births go succrssfully, I would ignore the stories!posted 07/21/2008 by JustPreTjenE
I totally understand how you feel! My husband and I have been through 4 miscarriages, and are now pregnant with our first child. When I hear these stories, I am able to come back with some horror stories of my own (nearly dying because a doctor won't listen will give you GREAT leverage) and then I tell them this: You know what? I can't imagine that anything can be as beautiful as leaving a hospital with your child. I am excited and cannot wait! That usually helps. Tell them the truth, also: I really don't want to have anything other than positivitiy around my child right now, and that story I am sure will make my heart pound! You have the right to protect yourself and your baby. When they say "just wait," my husband and I reply with, We've been doing that for 4 pregnancies; I'm just excited I've come this far! Usually, after a little while, people will leave you alone. They mean well, but I can't imagine how terror stories can help!posted 07/21/2008 by Pete and Repeat
I look at all those stories other women have as just that: stories. Like a book or a movie. I was absolutely convinced when I had my son, that because I wanted natural childbirth, it was going to be hours and hours and hours of intense pain, followed by hours of pushing and an episiotomy. I figured I would be joining the horror story club. I ended up with 13 1/2 hours of labor, 13 hours of which were mild and completely bearable. It was that last half hour after my water broke that was painful, and in 4 pushes my son was out. I tore only enough for 3 stitches. An hour after birth I was up and walking around, scarfing down food and visiting with family. For awhile I never shared my birth story while I listened to others go on about their horrible experiences. I felt a little ashamed of my perfect birth. Now I want others like you to know that the squeaky wheels get the attention. Prepare yourself and chances are you'll have a good experience.posted 07/21/2008 by hwrdfam4
yes childbirth is very painful for most women but that is why they have medication that is safe for you and your baby to make you more comfortable. i had my firt child 18 months ago with no drugs. it was the most painful experience of my life but it doesn't last for ever and once the baby is out that pain you felt doesn't matter. it's a great feeling once the baby is out. i'm pregnant with my second and i'm not too worried i know that every birth is different but i know what to expect and it doesn't worry me. the excitement of having another child out weighs the pain that i remember by far.posted 06/29/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Absolutely ask people to stop with the horror stories. Just tell them you don't want to get worked up about something that may not even happen. I knew labor would hurt and it does but mine all (3 so far) have gone quickly and pretty easily. No drugs, no tearing, about 15 minutes of pushing and I was in the hospital less than four hours before the birth each time. And it is truely amazing how quickly you heal and forget the pain. Just make a plan about how you want to handle situations that may arrive and tell someone that will pass that along while you are in labor. Relax and breath, breath, breath.posted 06/15/2008 by luvembutdun
I pretty much wait until after a first-timer has the baby, and then swap birthing stories. I answer any questions, but always let them know how it's different for everyone!posted 06/08/2008 by luckybepa
I teach childbirth classes and my friends and I love to share our birth stories. There is one that I was cracking up so hard because there were some very funny moments. (The birth tub almost didn't get blown up in time, and the 2 year old saw it and started to take off his clothes and put toys in the "pool in the middle of the living room". I think that if you are around women who have positive birth experiences they share positive stories. When I was pregnant the first time the stories I heard were enough to make me have vivid nightmares. I think that so many people have a negative perception of birth and it colors the stories they share. Most women have an emotional tie to there birth story, so please don't ask them to stop, but you may feel better if you make some friends with women who have had good experiences. La Leche League is one good place, also birth classes may help you know what to expect and feel a little less scared. (Hypbirth, Bradley, Mongan Method)posted 06/08/2008 by nicole722
I'm pregnant with my first child due October 1st and everyone insists on telling me their birth horror story. Just blow it off. I have enjoyed being pregnant so far and I don't let it get to me. Good luck!posted 04/24/2008 by MommyToBeOct08

Casual weekend wear
My weekend agenda is always putting my feet up and doing nothing. But something or the other always pops up around the house, ruining my leisure plans and siestas. So, I always prefer weekend attire, which is comfy enough to snooze-off in, yet chic enough for impromptu guests or plans with friends.
Cotton is a favorite for me almost through out the year. It's comfortable, skin-friendly and is a symbol of chic and casual dressing. Check out the top-three weekend attire that you can lounge around in-
1. Plaid flannel shirts
Though I love wearing cotton plaid flannel shirts all year round, I do enjoy the woolen ones in winters. They keep you warm, without being too warm for indoor wear. I love pulling them over shorts or tuck them into a pair of lose khakis. I even have a pink plaid skirt!
2. Jeggings
Jeggings are a boon for all those women who want to avoid thick denim fabrics. These are basically leggings made from soft and stretchable denim fabrics. Most jeggings have an elastic waistband. I do feel that button jeggings adds to the woes of buttoning up. These machine washable jeggings resist the weekend wear and tear, while providing optimum comfort and flexibility.
3. Tunic t-shirts
Pair your jeggings with the Gap body lounge tops. These loose and comfy tops are super soft and shaped like a tunic. They offer sophistication with sublime comfort. The cropped raglan sleeves hit the elbows and have a wide V-neck. The hem of the shirttail is about mid-thigh to hide those extra pounds on your butt.

Jason Kidd played in two NBA Finals with the then-New Jersey Nets, and won his only championship in 2011 with the Dallas Mavericks. Kidd hopes to take those experiences, couple them with lessons from past coaches, and use them to help improve the Nets next season. "I spoke to Mikhail (Prokhorov) on the phone and understood right away how much he wants to win," Kidd said of his interview. "I understood their concerns that I had never coached. But what they got from me is that I would be willing to learn. And that my work ethic as a coach was going to be the same as it was when I was a player. I shared with them the things that I plan to share with Deron (Williams) and with the whole team. After I left the Nets I found out what it takes to not just make the Finals, but to win a championship. I think I have a sense now of how you build a championship structure and how you maintain that structure."Kidd interviewed at the Nets practice facility in East Rutherford, N.J."I felt like I was ...

Scotland Yard have confirmed they have requested a DNA sample following a reported sighting of missing English girl Madeleine McCann in Queenstown.
A Scotland Yard spokesperson told ONE News they have asked Queenstown police to send the voluntary sample for "completeness" in their investigations. They said the sample was not for a line of inquiry.
The request comes after Queenstown police were alerted to a reported sighting of Madeleine in a shop on New Year's Eve.
It is believed the girl spotted in Queenstown had the same eye defect - a blemish on her eye which occurs in only about 0.007% of the population - as McCann.
Detective Senior Sergeant Kallum Croudis, of Dunedin, confirmed police would be sending a DNA profile of the girl.
"Police will be sending a DNA profile to British police ... to confirm the identity of a girl who has been mistaken for Madeleine by a member of the public," Croudis told Fairfax Media.
He said the girl has been mistaken for Madeleine more than once.
Croudis said the DNA sampling was a conclusive way to establish identity, and "categorically rule her out".
The DNA sample has been sent to the Environmental Science and Research Laboratory in Auckland, and a DNA profile from that sample will be sent to Scotland Yard in due course.
Three-year-old Madeleine made international headlines when she went missing from the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007 while on holiday with her parents Kate and Gerry, and siblings Sean and Amelie.

Texans' Foster benched for missing team meeting
JOHN McCLAIN
, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle |
October 3, 2010
Photo By Brett Coomer/ChronicleTexans running back Arian Foster started the game on the bench but finished with two touchdowns.
OAKLAND — Fantasy football players across the country were able to breathe a sigh of relief that running back Arian Foster's benching against the Oakland Raiders lasted less than one half.
Coach Gary Kubiak benched Foster for the first half because he missed a team meeting and was late for another one. Kubiak told Foster he wouldn't start. Kubiak didn't know when he would play Foster.
Derrick Ward, who rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown, and Steve Slaton, who rushed for 37 yards, replaced Foster in the first half.
With 6:50 left in the first half and the score 14-14, Foster saw his first action. He finished with 131 yards on 16 carries. He ran for one touchdown and caught a 10-yard scoring pass. He finished with 187 yards from scrimmage.

Breaking Bread with the Dead
Abstract: The establishment of two international ad hoc tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, and the creation of an International Criminal Court within the next five years, has increased the need for archaeologists who can assist in the exhumation of individual and mass graves associated with war crimes and genocide throughout the world. This work examines the efforts of teams of archeologists and forensic scientists which have investigated forced disappearances, political killings, and war crimes in Argentina, Guatemala, Iraqi Kurdistan, and the former Yugoslavia since 1984. As more archeologists enter this growing field, it is becoming apparent that their training at the university and post-graduate level needs to be supplemented with courses that will better prepare them for international forensic work. Not only do they need to be trained in forensic methods and procedures, they also need to be knowledgeable of legal and evidenciary procedures and the political and cultural dynamics of the countries where they will be working.

Abstract: Historically, the role of the archaeology in forensic death investigation has focused on excavation techniques and documentation of context. Additional skills of the archaeologist relate to familiarity with stratigraphy and soils, collection and conservation of artifacts, and special areas of interest, such as taphonomy. The following discussion surveys the processes by which the methods and personnel of archaeology have been incorporated into forensic recovery of skeletal and buried remains. The current status of the archaeologist's involvement in forensic investigations is explored. As well, distinctions between the work of medical legal death investigators and crime scene investigators are contrasted to archaeologists working conventional archaeological sites. Finally, the utility of archaeological methods and archaeologists is illustrated using examples ranging from a serial murder investigation in the U.S. to international investigations involving human rights abuses in Honduras and war crimes in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. The contributions of the archaeologist's skills range from methodologies of excavation and documentation of context to expertise in areas involving soil features, conservation of grave goods, and the uses of taphonomic knowledge to resolve post-mortem issues.
Why the Forensic Anthropologist Needs the Archaeologist
Abstract: Many scientific experts and specialists can be invited to join a forensic anthropology team and are used effectively in cases involving missing persons and buried homicide victims, as well as in locating historic burials. Nevertheless, the most significant addition to a forensic anthropology team is the archaeologist. The archaeologist is often instrumental in solving the puzzle of the burial's location, which can lead to resolving the riddle of the deceased person's identification and cause of death. This specialist's training and experience with various soils and the environmental context surrounding buried or scattered remains makes his services invaluable to the leader of a well-rounded and successful forensic team. This article highlights the importance of archaeological expertise and its use in the forensic investigation.
Bad to the Bone?: Historical Archaeologists in the Practice of Forensic Science
Abstract: Heightened recognition by law enforcement personnel of forensic archaeology provides an expanding array of opportunities for historical archaeologists to apply their skills in situations of medicolegal significance. Yet too few archaeologists are familiar with the protocols of criminalistics, including crime scene processing, chains of custody, and effective court testimony. Also, most archaeologists do not fully realize the health risks associated with handling decomposed human remains and the professional liability exposure inherent to a juridical investigation. As a group, historical archaeologists undoubtedly possess the skills and ethical disposition required of forensic scientists, but those who wish to offer their services as forensic experts must also be prepared to assume the serious responsibilities of doing so. This paper discusses the development of forensic archaeology, the specialized training that qualifies one to participate in a crime scene investigation, methods to reduce health risks and professional liability exposure, and the most effective approaches an historical archaeologist can follow to become certified as a forensic expert.
The Archaeology of Contemporary Mass Graves
Abstract: The excavation of mass graves provides information and documentation for both human rights work and for forensic medico-legal investigations. Medico-legal documentation for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is a major reason for recent excavation of large mass graves in these countries. The mass grave excavations have been among the largest since World War II. The investigative teams incorporated professional archaeologists sensitized to medico-legal realities, to the realm of decomposed fleshed remains, and who exhibited flexibility in adapting techniques to the forensic context. This paper examines the forensic context of these excavations, the techniques the team developed, and presents a case study from Rwanda.
Looking for a Needle in a Haystack: Developing Closer Relationships between Law Enforcement Specialists and Archaeology
Abstract: In the early evening of 20 July 1993, the body of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. was found in Fort Marcy Park in Fairfax County, Virginia. The United States Park Police investigated the death and concluded that it was a suicide. Since that time, questions have been raised concerning the circumstances surrounding Mr. Foster's death. Following continued speculation, two separate investigations were conducted by Special Counsel Robert B. Fiske and Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr. Each investigation included a search of the area where Mr. Foster's body was found in an attempt to locate the bullet which caused Mr. Foster's death, bone fragments from his skull, gun powder residue, and other evidence relevant to Mr. Foster's death.
Firearms Identification in Support of Identifying a Mass Execution at El Mozote, El Salvador
Abstract: The Civil War in El Salvador was very violent. One particularly violent episode involved the destruction of the village of El Mozote and the killing of hundreds of inhabitants by government troops. Forensic investigation of one building, containing the remains of the village's children, coupled with archaeological application of firearms identification processes demonstrated the victims were executed and not killed as the result of combat action as claimed by the government.
Remote Sensing Applications in Forensic Investigations
Abstract: Forensic investigations concern locating, identifying, collecting, and cataloging physical evidence for the purpose of presenting it in court. One aspect of forensic investigation concerns locating clandestine evidence which is often concealed in the subsurface. This task is typically guided by information provided by informants (pathological liars), witnesses, psychics, and sometimes suspects. Resultant searches may be time consuming and frustrating to understaffed departments. Often such searches lead to excavations that destroy evidence. Any nondestructive method used to reduce the time spent on searches and excavations and to increase the probability of locating physical evidence are of prime interest to the law enforcement community. Remote sensing methods, which are nondestructive, are currently being applied with promising results in forensic investigations. Some of the more promising methods, including infrared, magnetics, electromagnetics, and ground penetrating radar are discussed. Remote sensing methods when properly applied can provide the forensic investigator tremendous savings in time and cost in the search for physical evidence. The forensic investigator must be educated to understand that there is no remote sensing method that will consistently find a body or physical evidence. These methods locate anomalous areas, and the cause of these anomalies will only be fully understood upon examination by others.
Historical Archaeology Adrift?
Abstract: This commentary cites the remarkable progress made in the field of historical archaeology during the time since the founding of The Society for Historical Archaeology in 1967. Despite new sophistication in the technical aspects of the discipline, we have witnessed a perplexing tendency to focus research on unique events and thus have largely abandoned the search for the regularities of cultural practice. It is suggested that if historical archaeology is to achieve its full potential as a discipline, it must develop a methodology which draws from its unique strengths. The opposition of archival and archaeological data sets in the context of scientific inquiry is recommended.
Attaining the Full Potential of Historical Archaeology
Abstract: Historical archaeology is not adrift; rather through the collective contributions of generations of dedicated scholars it has matured into an inclusive discipline that seeks solutions to a wide range of problems regarding past peoples and their cultural expressions. While it is appropriate to seek to understand cultural regularities we must also explore the rich texture of variation expressed in the material patterns left behind. I agree with Charles E. Cleland's that new and rigorous methodologies must develop in order for historical archaeology to reach its potential. We need not constrain our creativity, however, nor the potential of thorough utilization of archival sources, by limiting ourselves to the construction of oppositions between the historical and archaeological record. Rather, our models should embrace an examination, and testing, of questions derived from the intersection of both sources of information. The full engagement of both history and archaeology in the framing of questions will lead to a more complete understanding of the dynamic nature of cultural expressions recoverable through archaeological inquiry.
The Archaeology of a "Destroyed" Site: Surface Survey and Historical Documents at the Civilian Conservation Corps Camp, Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico
Abstract: Archaeological records and historical documents provide complementary data for the understanding of temporary laborers' quarters related to large-scale construction projects. In this work, documents are used to evaluate data from an archaeological surface survey of a large 1930s era work camp of the Civilian Conservation Corps in northern New Mexico. The camp, occupied for seven years, was bulldozed immediately after its occupants left. Despite this drastic step, surface remains are still visible, and the site was recorded in 1990 and 1991 as part of a long-term survey project at Bandelier National Monument. Artifacts, rubble, and altered vegetation patterns constitute the known archaeological remains of the site and form the basis for the identification of activity areas. Historic maps and photographs complement artifact analysis and vegetation studies to illustrate the camp's configurations.
The Transformation of America: Georgian Sensibility, Capitalist Conspiracy, or Consumer Revolution?
Abstract: Over the last three decades, the Colonial Chesapeake has been a particularly dynamic field of archaeological study. In concert with the findings of the "new social history," dramatic social and cultural developments have been documented, and a number of theoretical models have been advanced as explanatory constructs. Three popular models are critically evaluated: the "Georgian" worldview proposed by James Deetz, a theory of merchant capitalism most strongly championed by Mark Leone, and a transplanted "consumer revolution" espoused by Cary Carson and others. While significant points of congruence exist among the models, the consumer revolution concept will be argued as possessing the best potential to provide a solid theoretical basis for future insights. This proposition is based on a synthesis of archaeological and documentary findings, which indicate two broad phases of cultural transformation that appear most plausibly explained as the rise of a consumer society within the context of the American frontier.
Correlates of Contact: Epidemic Disease in Archaeological Context
Abstract: Over the past several decades, historians, geographers, demographers, anthropologists and others interested in the demographic effects of contact between Europeans and Native Americans have emphasized epidemic diseases as a major factor in declining native populations. Little progress, however, has been made toward developing a method and theory for testing hypotheses regarding epidemic diseases and depopulation in the archaeological record. Tatham Mound, an early contact period mortuary locality in Florida serves as a useful example of the difficulties encountered when testing propositions regarding epidemic disease in archaeological context.
Commodity Flow and National Market Access: A Case Study from Interior Alaska
Abstract: This study re-examines the Commodity Flow Model presented by Riordan and Adams (1985) in light of additional work done by other archaeologists working in Illinois, Oregon, and South Carolina. The Commodity Flow Model provides a way for historical archaeologists to evaluate the interactions between manufacturer and consumer, by categorizing the consumer's participation in the national market economy. The model is then tested using early 20th century gold rush sites in interior Alaska. Using both weighted and unweighted samples, this study reaffirms the validity of the model and suggests ways of improving it.
Provenience of Eighteenth-Century British Porcelain Sherds from Sites 3B and 4E, Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia: Constraints from Mineralogy, Bulk Paste and Glaze Compositions
Abstract: Twenty-six British porcelain sherds excavated from two properties at the Fortress of Louisbourg were analysed by electron microprobe with the objective of identifying the factories from which they originated (that is, their provenience). Nineteen of the samples are phosphatic; seven are magnesian. Sixteen of the phosphatic sherds have paste and glaze compositions consistent with Bow porcelain (ca. 1747 to 1776). This attribution is supported by underglaze blue patterns (Dragon, Cannonball, and Desirable Residence patterns) and famille rose overglaze polychrome designs that match the decoration used on Bow porcelain. A calcic plagioclase-bearing sherd has a composition suggesting derivation from the Gilbody works (Liverpool, ca. 1755 to 1761). Another unassigned sherd has a paste composition that resembles products of the Lowestoft factory (ca. 1757 to 1799), but contains plagioclase, a mineral not known to occur in Lowestoft porcelain, and its glaze contains small amounts of tin, a component unknown in analysed Lowestoft glazes. One highly porous sample has an anomalous composition (a lower phosphate content than any known bone-ash porcelain), and appears to have been chemically modified in the ground. It, too, remains unattributed. The magnesian sherds contain diopside and enstatite, and thus are mineralogically similar to another type of Liverpool porcelain (late Chaffers [ca. 1756 to 1765]) and its successor, the Christian/Seth Pennington works; ca. 1765 to 1799). Compositionally, the body and glaze of these samples resemble Chaffers/Christian/Seth Pennington porcelain. This attribution is further supported by their underglaze blue patterns, which match some of those (Liver Bird pattern) known to have been used at the Liverpool works. Contemporary documents record the fact that the Bow works exported significant amounts of its wares to North America. The discovery of Chaffers/Christian/Seth Pennington porcelain at Louisbourg and other archaeological sites in Atlantic Canada (Fort Beauséjour) indicates that some Liverpool factories also supplied colonial markets with porcelain.
From Tanning to Tea: The Evolution of a Neighborhood
Abstract: This study traces the transformation of an outlying industrial district in lower Manhattan into one of the city 's most densely populated working-class neighborhoods~Five Points. Using census research conducted for the Foley Square/Five Points project, the demographic as well as physical changes are discussed in the context of the district 's reputation as the city 's most notorious 19th-century slum. The evolving spatial organization of one of the excavated lots is used to provide a picture of living conditions and a backdrop for the interpretive studies that fill the rest of the volume.
Prices that Suit the Times: Shopping for Ceramics at The Five Points.
Abstract: Throughout the 19th century, the area east of the Collect Pond was home to the immigrant poor. Primary documents offer one view of the crowded and dilapidated living conditions, which characterized the district known as "Five Points." The ceramic assemblage excavated at t he Foley Square Courthouse site in 1991 sheds a different light on the people and their way of life in New York 's most notorious slum. Sets of Staffordshire tea and tableware, as well as Chinese porcelain, are present in the assemblage. Issues relating to the procurement and availability of seemingly fancy ceramics and their meaning to the mid-century Irish tenants who used them are explained. Meaning is considered in terms of Irish cultural traditions and middle-class Victorian values. The CC index value of the large ceramic assemblage is also compared to CC values for other assemblages from New York City and elsewhere and the implications of the differences are considered.
Prostitutes, a Rabbi, and a Carpenter~Dinner at the Five Points in the 1830s
Abstract: Three deposits from two separate shaft-features on Manhattan 's Block 160 yielded a total of 14,502 bones and bone fragments. Located in the middle of a working-class neighborhood, this block made up one fifth of New York 's notorious Five Points. Analysis of the faunal assemblages, in tandem with the extensive historical record, provides an opportunity to explore working-class diet in a changing urban marketplace. Specific to Five Points, this is an examination of some of the disparate lifestyles present in this infamous neighborhood.
Good for What Ails You: Medicinal Use at Five Points
Abstract: During the 19th century, residents of Five Points, Manhattan, lived in increasingly crowded, unsanitary conditions and often labored at dangerous and debilitating jobs. While wealthier city inhabitants could afford a healthy diet, a physician's care, or a seasonal change of residence, medicine was the solitary option for the less fortunate. This study utilizes a large assemblage of medicinal vessels and archaeobotanical remains to examine the reality of disease in the Sixth Ward, the available choices for treatment, and the preferences of the Five Points population. Comparisons are made with medicinal choices at other 19th-century New York sites and some tentative conclusions are drawn about working-class versus middle-class behavior regarding health.
"Material Culture ":Conservation and Analysis of Textiles Recovered from Five Points
Abstract: The Five Points/Courthouse archaeological project benefited at its inception from the inclusion of conservation. Retrieval techniques facilitated the initial preservation of the many textile fragments in the assemblage and subsequent conservation was used to retrieve the weave structure and other diagnostic elements of the badly degraded materials. The treatments provided a unique opportunity to access information pertaining to one of the most important occupations for the Irish immigrants who lived in the neighborhood. This study describes the environmental conditions that produced the degradation and the techniques used to restore the textiles. In combination with historical research on the garment industry and the reuse of rags, textiles provide insights into working-class clothing, the redefinition of women's roles in the workplace, and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on New York.
"By Virtue of Reason and Nature": Competition and Economic Strategy in the Needletrades at New York 's Five Points,1855-1880
Abstract: During the 19th century, New York City became the largest producer of ready-to-wear clothing in America. This was possible, in part, because of the large labor force created by the influx of thousands of Irish, German, Polish, and Italian immigrants willing to work long hours for low wages in sweatshops and doing piece work in their own homes. Divided along the lines of gender and ethnic identity, men and women, Irish and Polish, competed for every penny they earned. New York 's Five Points neighborhood is known historically for its large population of immigrants who worked in the needletrades. Using the historical and archaeological data collected from the Five Points/Courthouse site, this study examines the sewing trades from the perspective of gender and ethnicity, with attention to differences in industrial and domestic deposits.
"Suckers, Soap-Locks, Irishmen and Plug-Uglies ": Block 160, Municipal Politics and Local Control
Abstract: The Irish immigrants who arrived in the United States and settled in lower Manhattan during the 19th century were poor and powerless, subject to the vagaries of an unfeeling world. Among these immigrants were the residents of Block 160, the site of a new federal courthouse at Foley Square. The Irish were able to gain a measure of power and control over their lives by entering into the political arena. Starting out as outcasts, then as hangers-on, these people gradually gained a voice in how their neighborhood should be run. Politics provided a way for ambitious young men of the neighborhood, who were barred by lack of education or opportunity to get into one of the "learned professions," to make a living, and even become wealthy. This study focuses on the role of local politics~including the power and influence of Tammany Hall~on the lives of the residents of Block 160 during the 19th century. It sketches how the residents were able to access power, and then profit from it.
Negotiating Patriotism at the Five Points: Clay Tobacco Pipes and Patriotic Imagery Among Trade Unionists and Nativists in a Nineteenth-Century New York Neighborhood
Abstract: Nineteenth-century American trade union and nativist rhetoric was rife with allusions to nationalist and patriotic sentiments, and symbols of the Republic were prominently displayed whenever these groups congregated. American trade union heraldry also incorporated these motifs, explicitly linking democratic imagery with group identity. The concepts of identity and ideology bound up with patriotic symbols are contentious by nature, however. Trade unions defined their own republican and patriotic ideals while nativists deployed the same symbols within a very different ideological framework, yet both groups laid claim to a patriotic identity. The process of defining and negotiating the nature of patriotism and American national identity is explored through a hermeneutic approach, using tobacco pipes recovered from New York City 's Five Points/Courthouse site. This study addresses the extent to which the rhetoric and ideology of these groups penetrated the daily lives of individuals, many of whom are otherwise absent from the historical record.
The Rhetoric of Reform: The Five Points Missions and the Cult of Domesticity
Abstract: For 150 years, the Five Points has been depicted as New York's center of vice and debauchery. Recent historical and archaeological investigations conclude that while the area contained abysmal sanitary conditions, poverty, and prostitution, many of the oft-told stories of the Five Points ' depravity are gross exaggerations. This article examines how literature produced by 19th-century missionaries and moral reformers helped create these myths. Throughout these works, the Five Points symbolized the immorality of urban life and was used to show middle-class readers the importance of their own ideology of domesticity. The reformers exaggerated the area 's poverty and stereotyped its inhabitants to illustrate the consequences of not adhering to middle-class principles of respectability and domesticity. By creating a sensational and one-sided image of urban poverty, writers created a stereotype of 19th-century working-class neighborhoods that would survive into the mid-20th century.
Linking Artifact Assemblages to Household Cycles: An Example from the Gibbs Site
Abstract: ABSTRACT In this essay, a new quantitative method called time sequence analysis is introduced. The method is used to link artifact distributions to family cycles, allowing reconstruction of consumption dynamics across several generations. Information for the study was recovered from excavations conducted at the Gibbs site, a 19th-century farm near Knoxville, Tennessee. Four generations of the Gibbs family occupied the site between 1792 and 1913.The relationship between household cycles and material consumption is measured statistically with correlation tests using time sequence analysis. The analysis results indicate that, given optimum excavation and documentary contexts, artifact assemblages can be linked directly to successive household cycles.
French Beads in France and Northeastern North America During the Sixteenth Century
Abstract: Although it is generally recognized that the French played an important role in the bead trade during the early contact period in Northeastern North America,there have been no serious attempts to carry out archival research and to locate reference collections of beads in France;consequently, surprisingly little is known about French beads. North American bead researchers are still asking some very basic questions about the provenience,chronology,and trade of French glass beads. This study seeks to answer these questions by drawing on a combination of written sources and archaeological collections early French travel literature and collections of beads from First Nations contact sites. Information from these relatively well-known sources is supplemented with new data gathered from post-mortem inventories of Parisian bead-makers and from notarized contracts containing descriptions of beads purchased for the North American trade.The study also draws on a unique collection of beads dating from the second half of the 16th century, recently unearthed in the Jardins du Caroussel, near the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Delaware Archaeology and the Revolutionary Eighteenth Century
Abstract: Many theorists see the 18th century as a time of profound change in European America.This paper tests some of these theories with data from 21 different 18th-century archaeological sites in Delaware that have been extensively excavated.The sites date to all parts of the 1680-1830 period, and their occupants span the social range from poor tenants to well-to-do planters.Eighteen of the excavations were sponsored by the Delaware Department of Transportation, and the techniques employed in the excavation and analysis of these sites were quite similar. Comparing the house remains, farm layouts, ceramics, glass, tablewares, clothing-related artifacts, and faunal remains from these sites reveals a complex pattern of developments. Certain parts of the material culture of rural Delaware did experience profound and relatively rapid change, especially ceramics and tablewares. Other aspects of life, however, including housing and meat consumption, changed very little, if at all.The archaeological record does not support the view that the 18th-century saw changes in outlook and thinking that influenced every part of American life.
The Archaeology of Military Politics:The Case of Castle Clinton
Abstract: The West Battery, later renamed Castle Clinton,was constructed off the tip of Manhattan, New York, between 1808 and 1811. Following Paul J. F. Schumacher (1955)and John L. Cotter (1962), William D. Hershey conducted excavations inside the castle for the National Park Service (NPS) reconstruction efforts in 1963 (Hershey 1963). His excavations revealed several discrepancies between the fortifications that were planned and those that were built. These modifications to the original design were never satisfactorily explained. In the early 1960s, the archives of Col. Jonathan Williams, the architect of the West Battery, were discovered, transcribed, and compiled by NPS historian Thomas Pitkin (1963). This paper attempts to reconcile the design changes in the construction of Castle Clinton with the archives of its architect and builder Col. Williams. This reconciliation provides additional information concerning the construction of fortifications in New York Harbor, the flexibility accorded the early engineers, and the politics of the early 19th century military.

TU Women Falls to Rice, 71-59, in Regular Season Finale
March 3, 2002
Houston - Rice's Johnetta Hayes scored a game-high 21 points and pulled down a game-best 15 rebounds to lead the Owls to a 71-59 victory over Tulsa at Autry Court in the final game of the 2001-02 regular season for both teams.
With the loss, Tulsa (16-12, 11-7 WAC) wraps up a fifth-place finish in Western Athletic Conference play, while Rice (20-7, 14-4) ends the season in second-place. Both teams will return to action in the 2002 Williams WAC Tournament, March 5-9, at the Donald W. Reynolds Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
After both teams battled to a 26-26 tie at intermission, TU opened the second half with six straight points to run out to a 32-26 lead with less than three minutes gone by in the final period. Senior Leela Farr hit four straight free throws, while junior Alyssa Shriver nailed a jumper just inside the free-throw line. However, after a timeout, Rice turned up the heat up on the defensive end and began to find its offensive punch, while the Hurricane's field goal shooting went ice cold.
In less than two minutes, the Owls managed to tie the game with back-to-back field goals and two free throws. A Farr free throw at 14:58 gave TU a one-point advantage, which turned out to be TU's last lead of the game. The Owls allowed Tulsa just two field goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half and Elisa Inman sparked a 12-2 Rice run break open the contest and give Rice a nine-point lead.
Tulsa cut the deficit to five points with four straight free throws by sophomore Candice Brewer. The two teams then traded baskets and TU stilled trailed by five. But TU could never break out of its cold shooting slump and Rice heated up from the field. LaToya Brown drained a three-pointer and a Hayes jumper gave the Owls a 10-point lead with 9:21 left in the game. Rice continued to find its range and increased its lead to as many as 12 points on several occasions. Tulsa managed to cut the double-digit lead to nine points three different times, but the Hurricane was forced to foul and Rice hit 9-of-13 attempts to stave of Tulsa.
Farr led TU with 17 points and nine rebounds. Although she tallied one field goal for the game, Farr re-established the school record for free throw makes and attempts. She connected on 15-of-20 attempts from the charity stripe, which were also a WAC record for attempts in a conference game. Brewer and senior Carla Morrow each added 12 points apiece. The Golden Hurricane won the battle on the boards, outrebounding Rice, 39-34, but the Owls outshot Tulsa, 44.2 percent to 32.7 percent.
Inman and Lindsey Maynard each finished with 10 points apiece for Rice.

March 28, 2012
BEAUMONT - Lamar University held its football pro day Wednesday at Provost Umphrey Stadium with scouts from nine National Football League teams evaluating three former Cardinals.
Wide receivers J.J. Hayes and Marcus Jackson and defensive end Darby Jackson all went through a battery of drills in the hopes of getting the approval of at least one of the scouts and making their way into an NFL training camp.
"I felt like it was a great opportunity for me to come out and hopefully catch the eye of one of the scouts," said Jackson who finished his two-year Lamar career with 65 catches for 1,159 yards and 12 touchdowns. "All it takes is one guy to like me and get me into camp, and then I can hopefully take care of the rest."
The day started in the weight room with the 225-pound bench press. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Hayes was able to complete 10 reps, while Marcus Jackson (6-foot-1, 195) finished with five. Darby Jackson did not participate in the bench press due to a shoulder surgery.
The trio then went outside to perform a vertical jump and a standing broad jump. Marcus Jackson posted a 39-inch vertical and added a broad jump of 10'8". Hayes had a 33.5-inch vertical and a broad jump of 9'5", while Darby Jackson added a vertical of 27.5 inches.
All three then ran a pair of 40-yard dashes. Marcus Jackson finished with a best time of 4.45, while Hayes ran a 4.78 and the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Darby Jackson ran an impressive 4.9. They then ran a series of shuttle runs that help scouts evaluate agility and quickness.
"It's a blessing to get to showcase my talents in front of these scouts. It's big for Lamar because it shows there is a lot of talent at this level, and it helps recruiting for us to be able to perform out here."
Hayes finished his two-year Lamar career with 105 catches for 1,696 yards and 14 touchdown catches. Darby Jackson led the Cardinals with three and a half sacks as a junior and finished his career with 70 tackles.

Jeb and his friend Zeke
Now Jeb and Zeke were out huntin possum with their friend Doc Clem. Those wiley possums were leading our heroes on a merry chase until Zeke cornered one in a thick bush in a dark hollow. Zeke was crawlin head down into the bush with grandpa's blunderbuss in the lead when a rattler bit him from behind in a particularly inopportune locale.
Meanwhile Jeb and Clem came up on the unfortunate location to find Zeke sprawled on the ground clutching his parts. An emergency conversation ensued in which Zeke described his circumstance and cried... "What do I do? What do I do?"
Doc Clem was looking awful sorrowful and motioned Jeb to the side so they could talk private like.
Doc..."Jeb, Zeke's had it unless you suck out the noxious venom right quick!"
Jeb..."What's going to happen to Zeke if the noxious venom aint sucked out?"
Doc..."Well then Zeke is likely gunna die, Jeb"
Jeb is thinkin mighty hard as he goes back to Zeke layin on the ground cussin and fussin. Zeke sees Jeb and says "Jeb, what do I do?"
Jeb looks sorrowful and says...
"Nuttin you can do Zeke, Doc Clem say you likely gunna die."

Re: Jeb and his friend Zeke
Jeb and Zeke out lookin for a "real job."
Jeb sayin to Zeke, "We gotta get us real jobs if we gunna get rich so we can build us a still." Zeke sayin, "Who gunna give us real jobs?" "We gunna be drivers Zeke, just like the tractor back on Granpa's farm."
So our heroes Jeb and Zeke go to take their oral driving test. Their written test went great cuz they bought their cheat sheets and passed real good. They are set to become 18 wheeler drivers and make their fortunes.
The middle aged emotional blond lady giving the oral says to Zeke,
"Your long distance driving partner Jeb is sleeping in the back. You're driving your fully loaded big rig 18 wheeler down a steep hill when your air brakes give out at the bottom. You are speeding towards a bridge and on the bridge you see jackknifed across the bridge from one side the the other a school bus full of tiny, cute little children screaming in terror at your approaching big rig." She gives Zeke the evil eye.
"You can either take your big rig over the side rail and into the deep chasm below or continue on the bridge until you hit the helpless and cute little children in the school bus, what do you do?"
The blond gives Zeke a defiant look of absolute moral superiority...
Zeke, thinkin hard says... "I'd wake up Jeb."
The blond, startled and confused, says, "Why would you wake up Jeb?"
Zeke replies, "He don't like kids, he would wanna watch."

Re: Jeb and his friend Zeke
Personally as a laborer at this site...
Jeb and Zeke settin by the swamp, fishin. Jeb says to Zeke, "Ya see Jezzabelle lately?" "Zeke, "Nah". So Jeb and Zeke go to the bog where Jezzabelle lives and knock on the door. The mother opens and stares at them with a high moral superiority. Jeb says "Ma'am, we alooking fer Jez." The Ma'am says "Jez havin labor pains." Zeke and Jeb look at each other and Zeke says to Ma'am, "Was she hurt at work?"

Most Popular
Ever had one of those days when you couldn't decide whether to head for the horizon on your road bike or hit the trails with your mountain bike? Now imagine a bike vacation where every day is like that. Yeah, it sounds pretty awesome to us, too.
Slideshow: The Best Bike Vacation Towns
Don't get us wrong; we love us a good bike beer-cation or foreign road tour as well as long trips to the trails, but give us both and we couldn't be happier.
From the big, mountainous western destinations you probably know—Durango, Jackson Hole and Sedona—to a few that might be new to you (we're talking about you, Raystown Lake and St. Charles), we've rounded up 10 vacation destinations across the country where the best bike to bring is, well, both!

Getting back into things
I'm a nerdy person who is interested in computers. I can build them, fix them and do a whole bunch with them. I also like cars, classic and otherwise. I'd like to find a woman that's interested in Sci-Fi preferably, but it is ok if not. I'm a fan of games, be it board games or video games. Although that latter I don't play as much as I'd like to. For board games, I like; Settlers of Catan(All variants), Axis Allies (Although it's hard to get 5 players most of the time), Munchkin, Apples to Apples, and Fluxx. For video games, I break it down between consoles and PC games. And yes, I'm a PC not a Mac. Although I do have Apple products, namely an iPod and an Apple TV, to which my mom thought was an actual TV. For consoles, I've got a Nintendo, as in an original with all the games I had when I was a kid. I also have a hacked Wii that allows me to run backed up games from a portable hard drive. It says down there that I like coffee and conversation, well that's not exactly true, as I don't drink coffee. I never got the taste for it. I also don't drink tea. Except Iced tea, which is different than Ice-T. I also use ice cubes, again different from Ice Cube. I prefer a nice soda. But I'm not too picky there. The conversation part is true. I can talk a lot. About a variety of subjects. Some of which I know quite a lot, some of which I don't. But I at least try to have an opinion about everything. I'd like a woman who is happy going to be beach in the summer as well as going in the winter to appreciate the stillness of the ocean when the cast of the Jersey Shore aren't around. I used to go quite frequently down the shore, so I know where there's some good places. Travel is nice, and there's a multitude of places I'd like to eventually visit, but I also enjoy being in New Jersey a lot. I think there's a lot that the garden state can offer people. And it isn't just a gym, a tanning salon, or a laundromat. Thanks!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Political interests , Video games
Auto racing / Motorcross, Bowling, Football, Hockey, Soccer
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I enjoy classic rock for the most part. Billy Joel, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd and the like. I also like Garbage, Poe, and Cake.
I like going to concerts and hockey games. I am a Devils fan. I'll also watch professional soccer. But I haven't been to a game in a while.
The last thing I read not counting websites is 2600 magazine. The genre I enjoy most is Cyberpunk novels. Think, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson. I like reading Sci-Fi mostly, but I'm not opposed to reading anything really.

Proposals for a legally binding commitment on nations to stabilise emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, have been dropped from a new draft of the Climate Change Convention, which is due to be signed at the Earth Summit next month.
The chairman of negotiations, Jean Ripert, presented the watered-down draft as the final 10 days of horse trading began in New York last Friday. The elimination of all enforceable targets for carbon dioxide emissions came at the insistence of the US - and despite last-minute mediation by Britain's environment secretary, Michael Howard. He flew to the US last week in an effort to persuade US deputy secretary of state Robert Zoellick to back a commitment by the European Community and Japan to stabilise emissions at 1990 levels by the year 2000.
On his return to London, Howard announced that the British government was 'ready to commit the UK ...

Wilson Sleep Center Offers Helpful Tips as We "Fall Back" November 6
Wilson Sleep Center Offers Helpful Tips as We "Fall Back" November 6
Twice a year, most of the nation changes its clocks at 2:00 a.m. -- on the second Sunday in March, when clocks "spring forward" an hour for Daylight Saving Time, and the first Sunday in November, when they "fall back" one hour to return to Standard Time. Because the time change occurs in the middle of the night, sleep cycles can be disturbed, especially in the spring when many people "lose" an hour of sleep. But as clocks move back Sunday morning, November 6, and you "gain back" an hour of the day, will people sleep an hour more? Probably not, according to the Wilson Memorial Hospital's Sleep Center.
"Many people have difficulties adjusting to both time changes," said Steve Brabbin, Director of the Wilson Sleep Center. "But in the fall, earlier light exposure in the morning may cause people to wake up earlier. They may sleep less, causing more daytime sleepiness," she said. Brabbin noted that "larks" may find the fall time change particularly difficult, because they already have a tendency to awaken early in the morning and get sleepy in the early evening.
To help ease the adjustment to standard time, the Wilson Sleep Center recommends these tips:
Maintain your regular bedtime Saturday night
when clocks move back, and awaken at your regular time. This can give you an "extra" hour of sleep the next morning and help reduce your sleep debt.
Block out light and keep your sleeping area dark.
Standard time means sunrise will occur about an hour earlier. This can impact sleep, especially for people accustomed to awakening before or around sunrise. The light itself can also disturb sleep. It is always best to sleep in a darkened room until you wake up.
Increase the light when you wake up
. Light has an alerting affect that may help you wake up. It will also help adjust your biological clock to the "new" sleep schedule.
If you are a "lark"
and tend to be wide awake and energetic in the morning and sleepy early in the evening, start a few days ahead; a gradual delay in bedtime and awakening a few days before the time change may help you adjust to the change.
Difficulty adjusting to the time change
– staying awake at night or sleeping until your desired wake up time may be helped by gradually moving bedtime and awakening later by 15 minutes every one to two days.
Wilson's Sleep Center works with the National Sleep Foundation as a Community Sleep Awareness Partner, to educate people in Shelby and surrounding counties about the importance of sleep and the treatment of sleep disorders. For more information about the Wilson Sleep Center, visit

When we do stories about law school weather problems, they usually involve the facilities being too hot for the students. That's because air conditioning costs money, and law schools don't like to spend money on current students.
But once you get out of school and start an office job (or "win the lottery" as people from the class of 2011 call it), the problem isn't going to be that your office is too hot. The problem is going to be that your office blasts the AC so high that you'll think you've been running around a hedge maze at the Overlook (just click on the link, millennials).
That's right, for a lot of lawyers, it's freezing up in here. And since we're talking about lawyers, you know we're talking about people who like to bitch….
The Kansas City Star (gavel bang: ABA Journal) has a story on freezing temperatures inside the law offices of Bryan Cave:
[Katherine] Jackson is like countless workers nationwide toiling in arctic air conditioning.
"Feels like a freezer," she said of the Bryan Cave law firm downtown, where she's an office assistant. "A blizzard almost."
Jackson keeps a jacket over the back of her chair so she can warm up — even when it's 105 outside.
She understands why her office is cold.
"It gets so hot outside they have to try to make it better for all the people inside," she said. "Some places just get colder than others. And we have clients (who) come in for conferences. You have to have it a little cooler so they will be comfortable in there."
Also, the cool air keeps people awake.
Obviously, law firms keep their offices cold so that they are comfortable for clients coming in from the heat. They don't really care if it makes it uncomfortable for employees.
But, really, complaining that it's too cold in the middle of a heat wave is the definition of a "first world problem." Christ wrapped in a throw blanket, buy a sweater and quit yer bitchin'.
Why are so many offices so c-c-c-cold? [Kansas City Star]

The Time Has Come!
Time is over! No more junk food, ice cream, and chocolate...You need a new losing weight after pregnancy plan! Something that is easy, and that works on your metabolism!
You may start with your weight loss plan only several months after birth. It is essential that you keep your energy during the first four months after your birth, since you are going to need it.
Usually the first four months are not crucial, since you will be breastfeeding and burning 500 calories a day. After the birth, you will feel exhausted and for that reason, you will need the break to get back into the reality. There is no rule that demands you to lose the pregnancy weight right away!
Your losing weight after pregnancy plan needs to consist of a good healthy diet plan, which includes vegetables, fruit, grains and meat. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. You will need to change your eating habits from the bottom. You are no longer eating for two, so new daily nutrition is needed.
But really, you need to reduce the sizes of your daily meals. If you find it difficult to eat vegetables every day, you can always sneak some in your sandwich or as a sauce that you can use to pour over meat. There are various solutions to enrich your meals. Whenever you feel hungry, take some fruit or just a carrot as a healthy snack. A part of every good diet is water. You need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day and it is essential for your diet.
You can Click Here for a The Best Diet Plans After Pregnancy!
Besides the weight loss after pregnancy plan, you need exercise. You will need at least some 30 minutes of exercise a day. This sounds difficult and impossible for most of the moms, but you don't have to follow the plan in details.
When you find some spare time, make a good use of it and exercise. You can either take a walk or try with a more serious version like jogging, but if you really have some free time take up some swimming.
The best losing weight after pregnancy plan consist of the right diet and exercise.
