More than 2,000 highly trained technical workers will arrive at Quad Cities Generating Station this week to assist station personnel with the facility's scheduled Unit 1 refuel outage that began earlier today. This is the 22nd refueling outage for Unit 1.
CORDOVA, Ill. More than 2,000 highly trained technical workers will arrive at Quad Cities Generating Station this week to assist station personnel with the facility's scheduled Unit 1 refuel outage that began earlier today. This is the 22nd refueling outage for Unit 1.
"The outage makes a significant positive impact on our entire business year," said Tom Ray, co-owner of the Great River Mart and Drifters Café in Cordova. "The economy of this entire region benefits as many of the additional workers will stay in local hotel rooms, purchase goods and services and enjoy entertainment throughout the Quad Cities area."
The nuclear facility will spend approximately $2.7M with local vendors that provide materials or equipment in direct support of the outage.
Nuclear reactors must be shut down for refueling, which allows workers to perform the detailed safety inspections, equipment enhancement, maintenance work and equipment upgrades that cannot be completed while the unit is operating. About one-third of the nuclear fuel will be replaced during the outage.
"The continued safe and reliable operation of this facility is always our top priority," said Tim Hanley, Quad Cities Station site vice president. "Refueling outages are critical to assuring plant safety and long-term operation."
The unit completed a site record of 634 days of continuous operation before being removed from service. Each of the two reactors at Quad Cities Station is refueled on a staggered schedule. As one refuel outage begins, station engineering experts start the detailed planning process for the unit's next refueling outage.
Quad Cities Unit 2 will continue to generate electricity during the Unit 1 outage. Quad Cities Generating Station is located approximately 3 miles north of Cordova in Rock Island County. With both units at full power, the site can produce enough carbon-free electricity around the clock for more than 1 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2012 revenues of approximately $23.5 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and more than 1 million residential customers.

The dataset is coded according to both the Correlates of War and the Gleditsch and Ward (1999) state lists, and is therefore compatible with a great number of existing databases in the discipline. Provided in a geographic data format, CShapes can be used directly with standard GIS software, allowing a wide range of spatial computations. In addition, we supply a CShapes package for the R statistical toolkit. This package enables researchers without GIS skills to perform various useful operations on the GIS maps"

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -Plenty of folks know about the food at Orazio's in Clarence. After all, they had the fan favorite item at this year's taste of Buffalo.But you might not expect to also find them serving up crepes and gelato in the food court at the Walden Galleria.
Yes, the popular Main Street eatery has branched out, bringing some unexpected fare alongside the Mr. Souvlakis and Sbarros and Subways of the world at the Galleria food court.
Owner Orazio Ippolito says the goal is to turn this into a franchised chain. For now, it's just one location in the Galleria- which is plenty for someone who's not quite feeling like pizza or Chinese while they wait for the movie to start.
Orazio's offers sweet and savory crepes. On one side, you have selections like the banana, strawberry and chocolate crepe with powdered sugar- on the other, the popular Mediterranean crepe stuffed with veggies, feta and tzatziki.
Add in gelato for desert and you have a great place to check out during your next shopping trip.

Prevention of illicit trade
What is illicit trade?
Illicit trade encompasses the trade in objects illicitly removed from archaeological sites or monuments; the traffic in objects stolen from their rightful owners such as a private individual or a museum; and the illegal export of an object by its rightful owner. Illicit trade applies to objects within the UK as well as those coming from other countries on which The Portable Antiquities Scheme can provide more information. Background information on action in the UK on this issue can be found in DCMS's Cultural Property pages.
Why prevent illicit trade?
Illicit trade in cultural property damages our knowledge of the past; it costs money and damages reputations. Illicit trade damages our human and natural environment, robbing people of their history and identity. It is in all our interests to comply with The Dealing in Cultural Objects (Offences) Act 2003 which makes it a criminal offence to deal dishonestly in tainted cultural property from anywhere in the world. Working in a public collection and thereby upholding the codes of ethics of the profession, binds you to acting within the law, ethically and responsibly when acquiring an object for the collection.
What steps must I take?
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has published guidelines on Combating Illicit Trade. A range of legislation aims to prevent cultural material being illicitly traded. To prevent the illicit trade in cultural property we must ask questions. The process of asking the right questions of the right people and collecting appropriate evidence to ensure an object's legitimacy before acquisition is called due diligence. Support materials take you to resources which will help you to make a decision as to whether or not to acquire an object. Public collections commonly use 1970 as a threshold for deciding whether or not an object needs further due diligence before acquisition; this is described in Factsheet 1970 threshold. Checklists Buying with confidence and Online sources give information on questions to ask a vendor, whether an auction house, a dealer, private owner or collector, or someone selling via an online auction house. Checklists Acceptable evidence and Due diligence processes show what is acceptable evidence for due diligence and how to go about it. It is important that your institution's acquisition policies take into account the prevention of illicit trade. The Arts Council has developed a Collections Development Policy. Examples of existing museum policies can be found through Learn More.
Loan Agreements
NMDC members have agreed that national museums should make reasonable efforts to ensure that they are not lending to exhibitions containing objects without satisfactory provenance. NMDC has recommended that all its members add a clause to their own agreements along the lines of the following wording which is used by the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. 'The Borrower warrants, covenants and agrees that it has no responsible cause to believe that any object comprised in the exhibition in which the objects shall be displayed was stolen, illegally exported or illegally imported from its country of origin, as defined in the UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property, 1970.'
What do I do if I am suspicious about an object?
If you have any suspicions about an object you must not acquire it. If you believe a criminal offence has taken place you should report it to the police. Customs Confidential is a 24 hour helpline through which you can also report any possible illicit traffic in cultural property by visiting the website or calling 0800 595 000.

Avid Olympic watchers most likely tuned in to Thursday night's main event: the men's figure skating free skate. Evan Lysacek won gold for the United States, becoming the first American man to win it since 1988. Russia's Evgeni Plushenko took the silver – losing by a mere 1.31 points overall – and ended Russia's streak in the sport. Had Plushenko won the gold, as he expected, he would have been the first man to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals since 1952.
But he didn't win it. And as social psychology would predict, the disappointment generated by being so close to an expected win (and then losing) has some pretty unpleasant side effects. For starters, Plushenko acted like a true to form sore loser when he told reporters, "Obviously, Evan needs the medal more than me, maybe because I've got one already." He ended up never congratulating Lysacek and took off his silver medal immediately as he left the ice following the victory lap.
Psychologists explain this silver medalist syndrome as an effect of upward counterfactual thinking. In short, reflecting on how past events might have turned out better – especially if those alternative realities were within very close reach – has a unique sting to it to which no bronze medalist could even begin to relate. According to Medvec, Madey, and Gilovich (1995), bronze medalists are often happier than silver medalists – they smile more on the podium at the medal ceremony – because they focus on the alternative of winning no medal, whereas the silver medalists focus on the alternative of winning gold. Decision Affect Theory (DAT) extends this line of research to integrate the added effects of expectation: although good outcomes feel better when unexpected than when expected, bad outcomes bite extra hard when unexpected than when expected.
Adding it all up, high expectations for success + losing by a little more than a point + upward counterfactual thinking = Plushenko may have surprised us with his loss, but we social psychologists landed the aftermath with precision and grace.
Even in defeat, Yevgeny Plushenko steals show

Double-A Bowie right-handed pitcher Bobby Bundy is expected to miss the rest of the season and is very likely headed for surgery. An MRI discovered that Bundy has bone spurs in his right elbow.
The older brother of Dylan Bundy, the Orioles' top pitching prospect, Bobby Bundy had given up 15 runs in just 3 2/3 innings in his last two starts for Bowie, on July 3 and 8. He is 2-11 with an ERA of 6.25 on the year over 17 Baysox starts.
In 80 2/3 innings with Bowie, Bundy allowed 98 hits with 35 walks, 64 strikeouts and a .301 batting average against.
The 22-year-old Bundy was drafted by the Orioles in the eighth round in 2008. He went 11-5 with a 2.75 ERA for Single-A Frederick last year and was the Orioles' organization pitcher of the month for both May and July and made the mid-season Carolina League All-Star team. He went 1-3 with a 9.60 ERA in five games late in the year at Bowie.
He was put on the Baysox disabled list July 12, retroactive to July 9.
No final decision has been made as to whether Bundy will have surgery, but it appears that is likely. A final decision should come sometime in the next few days.
I actually see this as good news. His performance this year indicated there was something physically wrong and this is probably the least serious of the possibilities. I was also glad to see that it was not a development mistake.

Call them and return your units. Even if it's caching for 24 hours, return it. It's a mistake on their behalf by one or more of their programmers and left us in paniced states as many of us have no backup (kinda hard to backup 1.8TB on DVD's now adays, I personally have maybe 150GB of it backed up on discs) and it reported as 0GB/2.8TB and blinks green and flashed red and showed the dump in the interface. Even if it fixes itself after the 24 hours, why risk the constant disc access/corruption for that long?
Just wanted to confirm my understanding:
If I am still stuck on firmware 124, unable to access the UI
and without SSH enabled,
Then this new firmware 129 doesn't help me at all, right?
And there's nothing I can do other than RMA?
Thanks guys

Fair play WDTony. I ain't shooting over the bow. On a customer service and human phychology viewpoint, there is a mobile phone network I'm on called Giffgaff. What's good with that company is that they've gone one step further then Western Digital when it comes to customer support.
They are very transparent when it comes to faults and service issues. All that's needed for me is to go to the blog on the web and the staff at this phone company actually explain the reasons for failures and what's being gone to rectify the problems.
In all fairness on here there is not a lot of feedback coming out of WD's stable and it's left to the users of this W.D. community to try identify the problems of which it's good that some of the discussions make it to the W.D. firmware development team, but the feedback is missing! Like if there is some issue that's been found, why does someone responsible for firmware builds NOT get directly in contact with the discoverer of the fault to find out exactly what they know.
For example, the issue of /etc/hosts getting corrupted. W.D. might now know why this is happening, I don't know why it's happening but someone on here may have an educated or idle idea that might just explain the reason.
For example, and Idle idea from me now. Maybe there is some service operating on the MyBook Live that is leaking memory or maybe there is some sort of stack overflow happening, or a buffer overflow condition that's interfering with some part of the operating system that's causing the wrong data being written to the file or even worse the wrong data being to the file system resulting in cross-linked files! In that case correcting one file of the cross-linked file instantly corrupts a file that was not corrupted.
It would also be good that IF there is a reason for missing out the NAS's device name out of /etc/hosts then somewhere there is an explanation what the reason for this is.
People who are a lot more informed about why things are as they are will panic a lot less more. There are people putting their treasured memories on the MyBook Live and as good as SafePoint is, there will be people who have minimal knowledge.
W.D. also needs to listen to it's customers a lot more.
For example, implement a selective backup! Allow shares, folders and sub-folders to be excluded from a SafePoint back-up. I know this can be done because I've done it so I have one 500Gb NAS that I can use to back-up a 1Tb NAS (the MyBook Live) which has more than 500Gb of data stored on it.
Get the thing to co-operate with on-line storage services like DropBox so user-selected shares and/or folders can synchronise with a DropBox storage area. I know it was mentioned. What would solve someone's concerns of losing a small sub-set of files and folders if the drive suddenly fails due to old age,
The reason I wrote my comment about why /etc/hosts is not being updated and trying to find why is because no-one at W.D. is coming forward with an reason so it's inevitable that people will begin to try find out why.
Maybe the reason someone decided not to update this file during the upgrade process is an attempt to prevent the hosts file getting corrupted and losing access to the WebUI?
I'll give one suggestion right now that needs to be implemented into the MyBook Live.
Suggestion: When the MyBook Live starts up SSH access is enabled for 10 minutes as early on in the boot process as possible. If it is not accessed within 10 minutes it auto-disabled. If it is accessed within 10 minutes then it is set to remain enabled. It will be the owner's choice to disable SSH from the Dashboard UI.
Why do this? In case the Dashboard UI fails and SSH had not been enabled. There will be a route to the back-end to that can be used to try fix the problems.
I've already once encountered the dead Dashboard UI after reboot. if SSH had been disabled then I would have been forced to RMA the NAS but I had remembered to enable SSH so recovery of my NAS ended up being a very sweet and simple procedure.
Yet another example, you'll remember this, when Twonky kept failing all W.D. tech support could suggest was to do a full factory restore. I looked at it and the solution was to stop the Twonky service, erase two files and re-start Twonky. A solution that just took less than 5 minutes to implement and no need to wipe anything.
Seriously, the community here needs transparency, active feedback and reassurance.
I have seen that people have noted that there are updated versions of certain services that are stated to fix problems. Like the Samba service has been updated several times and maybe even VSFTPD. (I'm not including Twonky! Twonky is Wonky!)
Updates of these free-to-distribute services need to be reviewed and if they are not suitable for the MyBook Live, what are the reasons?
I guess that's what people are asking for on this here forum.
03-20-2012 04:35 AM - edited 03-20-2012 04:35 AM
Just an additional point of note... On my NAS, even with the name of the device not in the hosts file and the Apache web server stating it can't resolve the NAS's name to the IP, how come the Dashboard UI on my NAS works quickly regardless of the state of the /etc/hosts file?
i agree with the sentiment here, you can't roll out a firmware update that makes your system unusable, really, for the first 24 hours and expect people not to freak out, or call support, or come here asking questions.
it would have been easy to put one line of text in the release notes that says "may experience slow Dashboard response for the first 24 hours". There. Done!
As it is, I think I will skip this update because my UI, my whole MBl, is acting totally fine (except for dead LED).
A suggestion to the users that posted on the first page of this thread, please edit your post and link to all the replies that included solutions for the problems. That way, if someone Googles it and found their way here, they'd have no problem fixing it.
try clearing IE cache...I had same issue, however after clearing IE cache, it worked.
@WDTony :
As many people here, when I had a lot of issues witth a brand new MBL, the only usefull help I received was from Myron and other contributors of this forum.
Even after opening an incident ticket and waiting for 10 long days, the only answer from WD was just unusefull and completely out of my problem.
So, instead of shooting on people who really help other people here and who are not paid for this, you should better listen to them, go back to work and improve your customer service level.
With all the troubles we have on each new firmare, how is it possible to be confident in WD team ?
Don't forget, we are all customers.
Oh - I am not shooting Myron.. Myron has been very instrumental to other users and to me in spotting potential issues. These have been communicated directly to the development teams. However; many of the times issues thought to be problems are not.

You guys want transparency, and you want us to respond, but I can see why it's difficult for anyone to want to respond with posts like this. Thierry, you're not helping Myron's point here.

I've always loved candles and tealights, but ever since I had kids I'm too paranoid to use them. It's just not worth the risk to me. But now I have what looks like beautiful candle light all around the house, and I don't have to worry. They were kind of expensive, but totally worht it once I realized that there are 6 in a package and that they basically last forever. I went a little overboard and bought the full sized candles as well.
On Aug 01, 2012 by Tiff from Asheville, NC (Customer)
I still like to have some real candles around because nothing takes the place of real candles. But these are a great way to make cool lighting effects when using a real candle would be dangerous and stupid. I'm a DIYer and I used these flameless tealights to make some beautiful paper "candles" that I saw on pinterest. They're absolutely beautiful and won't burn my house down, so that's a bonus.

CLAYTON Local divers will soon be installing a divers access point at the east end of Frink Park just in time for the 2013 tourist season.
Funded entirely through donations, the grass-roots project aims to attract more divers and kayakers to the tourist-driven village by allowing easier access to the St. Lawrence River.
A dozen volunteers will build the removable dock a 10-foot-wide by 16- to 20-foot-long wooden structure with a T-ladder by May 1, and perhaps earlier if the weather cooperates, said local veteran diver Raymond I. Skip Couch.
Mr. Couch, a scuba diver since the 1960s and a founding member of the Clayton Diving Club, has raised $2,700 for the project so far and has persuaded several local businesses to donate material needed for the structure, including the T-ladder.
Once the dock is complete, it will be turned over to the village of Clayton.
However, Mr. Couch said, members of the Clayton Diving Club will volunteer to maintain the structure and pull it out of the water every fall for inspection.
Monetary donations are deposited in a village government bank account, and any leftover funds from the project will be used for future maintenance.
With the divers access point, Mr. Couch had said, Clayton has the potential to become a popular spot for recreational diving and training.
He estimated that the removable dock would attract more than 50 divers every summer weekend.
Almost half of the projects total cost will be covered through donated material from Clayton businesses including Reinmans Ace Hardware, French Creek Marina and Dons Prop Shop.

I sucked at pregnancy
(Just like my labor and deliveries, this is a long one.)
Pregnant with my second child and determined to take control of something, I popped into Jiffy Lube for an oil change. My serviceman was a woman named Ali. She looked fabulous in a blue jump suit with a smudge of grease on her cheek.
"How far along are you?" she asked, motioning towards my protruding belly.
"Just about 20 weeks," I replied.
"Half way there," I added cheerily, trying a bit too hard to sound optimistic.
"I have an 18-month -old at home," Ali shared.
"I can remember feeling like I would be pregnant forever."
Before I could say as much as an "Amen," she continued:
"People who say pregnancy is a beautiful thing need to be slapped."
And, just like that, Ali became my favorite person in the whole world.
The thing is, and I feel the need to whisper here, I hated being pregnant. Why am I whispering? Well, pregnancy is a miracle, a gift, a blessing, a "beautiful thing." Which leaves room for nothing short of gratitude. Right?
There are women out there who would do anything to have the experience of being pregnant. Couples go to great lengths-- shopping for eggs and sperm, staging fantastic medical interventions-- just to experience the magic of reproduction. How can I, someone who's apparently as fertile as a guinea pig, someone who gave birth to two beautiful, healthy daughters, complain?
Yet keeping silent feels false. It feels as if I am advancing the myth that pregnancy is second nature for every woman, a blessed joyride, the ultimate signifier of true womanhood, the realization of every dream.
I didn't expect pregnancy to be easy, but I never expected it to be hell.
I got pregnant willingly. Twice. Like many seemingly- sensible, thirty-something women before me, I was blindsided by the desire to cast off my self-absorbed, carefree existence and plunge into the brave new, selfless world that is motherhood. When my breasts started to swell and my period didn't come, my husband, Ian, and I danced naively, if somewhat clumsily, around the magic white wand with the plus sign in its window.
Then the music stopped. Around six weeks into my pregnancy I woke up with what felt to me like a the residual effects of too much alcohol and tobacco in my veins. Nausea oozed from my every pore yet I knew I needed to eat. It was as if there was a monster deep within me that fed on emptiness.
I took on the posture of Quasimodo. Dragging myself to work and back each day was a major accomplishment, duly rewarded with a twelve-hour nap. If Ian wanted to eat, he needed first to go to the store for groceries (supermarkets repelled me), then prepare himself something that didn't require cooking and had no scent. If he did cook, even a single slice of onion or roasted pork chop, I would rise from my bed like the Bride of Frankenstein and moan, "You're killing me."
I became a bloodhound. Just opening the refrigerator door without getting sick required breathing out my ears. If the pickle jar hadn't been closed properly, I noticed. I could smell a single mold spore growing on a piece of bread. I took offense to the smell of soap and shampoo. Even water had a scent.
It didn't take me long to learn that hating being pregnant was not something you admit to or talk about:
"How do you feel?" a female co-worker consistently asked me each morning during my first pregnancy as I shuffled into the office with a forced smile on my face.
"Like an old, colicky horse that needs to be put down," I finally answered one day.
"Don't you dare say that!" she scolded. "What if the baby hears you?"
This woman, a mother herself, was one of those suspicious creatures who claim to feel better than normal during pregnancy and thus could neither empathize nor sympathize. Instead, she chastised.
My misery enjoyed little company. I started to distrust every woman, including close friends, who didn't feel sick during pregnancy. In the glaring light of their glowing selves, I felt like a toad.
As much as I resented my coworker's lectures I couldn't help wondering if she was right. Did the innocent baby growing inside me sense my misery? Did it make her feel unloved or unwanted? Did my womb feel as much like a hostile environment to her as my entire body did to me? Just in case, I talked to my unborn baby as much as possible:
"Don't worry, Sweet Baboo,"I'd say, rubbing my palm in large, clockwise circles over my swollen belly. "Life will be better out here. I promise."
Around 18 weeks in — well beyond the 12- week cutoff point the how-to books offer up as the moment all pregnant women become vibrant, glowing goddesses—the nausea relented.
Ian thought we had turned a corner the night I came home from work and said, "I want steak and potatoes and I want it now."
I wanted him too. All day and all night, I dreamed of sex. What kind of cruel joke was this, giving a woman the libido of a minx and the body of a bovine?
My aversion to being pregnant went beyond the physical. It wasn't just the sickly, toxic feeling that had me complaining, but the whole package. Carrying life inside me, fattening up and slowing down, rendered me cumbersome and defenseless. I couldn't help thinking that, should a large, hairy monster happen to jump out of the shadows and want to eat me; I wouldn't be able to run to save my life. I would just have to look that monster in the eye and say, "go ahead, I'm all yours."
As a former athlete, surrendering my body to the merciless goddess of fertility felt like letting go of the one thing I derive the most pleasure and pride from. Normally lean and boyish, with conception the female inside me is undeniable. I become a Rubenesque fertility wench with a thick layer of pliant flesh evenly distributed across my entire body and pendulous breasts protruding, funhouse like, from my usually humble chest. The extra fat, meant to serve as protection for the baby, felt to me like a soft cloak of vulnerability.
The expression "big as a house," while insensitive, is truly apt. Pregnant women are houses; temporary homes for their unborn children. And I was a Mcmansion. The 25- to- 35-pound "guideline" was my half-way mark. I gained 50 pounds both times, without eating a single donut. My stomach stuck out, high and proud, like the nose cone of a jumbo jet. Suddenly those giant underthings they sell at Motherhood didn't look so cartoonish to me anymore.
My hatred of pregnancy nagged at me. How could something so natural, something that women have been doing since the beginning of time, feel so wrong? Had I made a bad choice? Would I make a bad mother? Or, worse yet, would I have a "bad" child?
Sure I experienced magic moments of quickening, with Ian's amazing hands on my belly. And watching my stomach lurch and roll as if my baby were busy stacking wood inside me, each night after dinner, was entertaining. But it wasn't until the actual moment, okay days, of labor and childbirth where I was redeemed.
Now this I could handle. I'm all for enduring physical discomfort as long as there is a visible finish line. Finally, I could take active part in this venture. No longer just lolling about, growing arms and legs and brain tissue, I was actually chaperoning a living, breathing being into the world using the very core of my mental and physical strength.
Pregnancy number two wasn't at all the same. It was worse. I developed a relatively rare disorder called "hyperemesis gravidarum," which translates as excessive vomiting. As if allergic to progesterone, I was reduced to a crawling, heaving, moaning animal for weeks on end.
My parents stood at the end of my bed, wishing there was something they could do to help. My husband did the same.
"Just don't touch me," I said. "And a gun might help."
I was physically incapable of smiling at my daughter, husband, or anyone, for 8 straight weeks.
There were times I felt I would rather die than throw up one more time. The knowledge that the only thing that would make me feel better was to not be pregnant anymore weighed heavily on my mind. I took class B drugs just so I could eat and drink and, eventually, go back to work. They made me feel wasted. What were they doing to my baby?
What kept me going through it all, once again, was Esther. Almost four now, Esther reveled in her femininity, residing in her little woman's body as if she had lived there since the beginning of time. At the age of three, she was already aware of and fascinated by the thought of "egg sacks" inside her tummy just waiting to grow into babies. I was her inspiration. And she was mine.
Throughout my pregnancy with her little sister, Esther marveled at my ripeness. In the bath together she would sit behind me, reach her slippery arms as far as she could around my colossal belly and say, "Mummy you're amazing."
Isla's birth was amazing too. A little shorter the second time around, but no less challenging or intense. I still remember the relief of feeling her hot little body placed on my chest and looking into her clenched up, red face and thinking,
"I am never, ever, doing that again."
Now, standing on top of this mountain I so gracelessly clambered up, I'm confronted with a panoramic view of motherhood. At times it is stunning. At other times it's terrifying. I can look back and see the route I took to get here, and feel amazed that I made it all.
While I still tend to agree with Ali the mechanic-- my pregnancies were far from beautiful-- I do think beauty is overrated.
An explanation for this past-tense post, can be found over here at Momformation.

I love this post. I'm not a fan of pregnancy either, but keep my mouth shut and feel guilty for being so fertile. (It literally took one try for each kid) But the process, the endurance and the giving over to change was beautifully worded. Thank you.
I must admit, my first pregnancy I didn't have morning sickness. However, I did go through preterm labor and get put on bed rest. A term most people would think was heaven was hell for me. Laying in bed all day and eating, just made me feel for those people who are overweight and are trapped on their beds.
After giving birth, I like probably most women think "Oh, that was alright". Everything is forgotten. Foolishly, I got pregnant with a 2nd and now I am miserable! Morning sicknes?! Morning, noon, night, whenever it felt like it sickness. Right now, I am suppose to be in my honeymoon stage. Well, there isn't nothing honeymoonish about this stage! I thought for sure the morning sickness would go away. It did, for a week. Now, I am back in it again. At least now, I am not throwing up. Just nasty queasy/sick of eating if it is making me feel this way sickness. But I press on with shoveling food in my mouth and feeling gross. This one feels like forever!!! And I am still one month away from the halfway mark. Ugh!!! I can't keep up with work or my toddler. Sleeping too much is getting on my nerves. Long naps are getting on my nerves. It takes away from all the work I have to do and I feel so stressed out!!!!!
But I am like you. I am never, ever, ever doing this again!!! In my 30s and getting too up there for this. No clue how people do it in their 40s. Forget that nonsense!!
- Ducks said...
I'm doing this in my 40s.... and I can't imagine how anyone does it in their 20s. I just wasn't mature enough to stick with the program despite the inherent miseries. I'd have run off like a wild woman.
Betsy, this is such a fabulous post. Clearly you do not suck at it: that doesn't mean it doesn't suck for you. :) I'm having a very crabby (and passionately grateful, but yes, oh so very crabby) 3rd trimester and this kind of post makes me thank goodness to be in good company.
...Misery loves it, right? :)
You said it all. Hyperemesis landed me in the hospital with an IV with my first. It started while I was in PArk City for the Olympics. I must have looked really bad and pathetic because an elderly woman offered me crackers from her purse. I spent my morning commutes to NYC heaving into ziplock bags lined with paper towels. The smell of windex would send me over the edge. All I wanted to eat was rare deli roast beef and cold cereal. The only time I didn't feel sick was while I was cramming food down my throat - and of course, as soon as I stopped, it all came back up. At 20 weeks I was put on bed rest for an incompetant cervix, 3 of those weeks were in the hospital on the maternity ward where I could hear all of the babies. Twenty weeks of bed rest so the baby wouldn't fall out. 14 hours of back labor only to have an emergency c section. WHAT A BLAST! It only took 5 years to decide to have another child. I had to make sure my son could fend for himself because I was not going to be cooking him anything! When I becape prego with my daughter, I had hyperemesis again but was smart enough to ask for zofran. I was throwing up right until I hoped onto the table fro section #2. The heaving didn't even fase my son - he'd keep right on taling to me as though nothing was happening as my head was in the kitchen sink. No RESPECT! So 2 is all I could handle. No more. I'm done. Now every time I feel the slightest bit queasy, I panic. Oh shit, I hope I'm not pregnant!
- Betsy said...
I hear that, Virginia. The terror of a late period is like no other for me. It's good to know when your done, I guess.
- Kristen said...
Right there with ya, sister! I still can't believe I got pregnant a second time. Major morning sickness with both of mine. Thank goodness for zofran during the second pregnancy...it was even worse than the first. I laughed out loud at the part where you said you were never doing this again after your second was born. The first words out of my mouth after my 9 lb. son was born were, "holy crap, I can actually breathe." And after my 8 lb. daughter was born precipitously within seconds of walking through the doors of the hospital (and without time for even an aspirin) the first thing I said was, "I am soooo done with this BS." I thought the nurse was going to pass out. Thankfully, my husband was totally on board with getting snipped so I don't have to worry about any surprises. I do, however, feel that I have used up my lifetime quota of nausea and vomiting and am very resentful whenever I get even the most mild stomach bug. :P
- Emma said...
I'm in this club too. Pregnancy was never my best time, and by the time i was half way through with my third, i knew i was well and truly done. The constant nausea and exhaustion is just miserable. I don't think you need to feel guilty about it! Lots and lots of women feel the same way.
- Betsy said...
Kristen: Love the "holy crap, I can breathe" comment. I recall being fixated on my first meal post baby, knowing it would be the first in 9 months that didn't make me nauseous or give me heartburn.
And ditto on the stomach bug paranoia. I have definitely fulfilled my puking quota for life.
- April (Polkadot Sparrow) said...
I'm surviving my second pregnancy and it's so hard to put the experience into words for others who have not gone through this. You did a great job explaining it. Kudos.
My first pregnancy ended when I was at 27 weeks because of a congenital defect. That was after I had gained 40 pounds on my very small frame and was nauseous for a straight 14 weeks. I am now 23 and a half weeks into my second pregnancy. I have already packed on 30 pounds and am finally feeling non-nauseous after 21 weeks of morning, afternoon, and evening of alternating between being starving and dry heaving. The headaches and migraines have continued and I feel as if I haven't been able to take a deep breath for months now.
I feel so guilty for admitting how miserable I am. My body was not built for this. I am eternally grateful that this baby is healthy and I was able to get pregnant again. And how fun that I am starting to feel him move, but... well, I hate this. I still haven't gotten to that reward part after the misery, but that is definitely what keeps me going.
Thank you for making me feel not so alone.
- andrea frazer/this old spouse said...
Betsy, you should really submit this to a Pregnancy Magazine. It's written so well. Honest, without slamming pregnancy. You have such a way with words.
- Betsy said...
Thanks, Andrea. This essay, or certain edits of it, have been submitted and rejected many times to many different magazines over the years. I am not sure if I tried Pregnancy...
- Karin (an alien parisienne) said...
Fantastic post, Betsy. I am glad you 'fessed up about hating the whole pregnancy gig. It is absolutely NOT a joy for every woman, and it is important someone share the truth about it all.
This was priceless "What kind of cruel joke was this, giving a woman the libido of a minx and the body of a bovine?" Heheheheheheh!
I did not have horrible pregnancies, but the one in my late 30's left me with an empty, stretch mark ridden sack of skin on my front, and ugly bulging, blue veins on my legs, both conditions which give me much angst when it comes to things like bathing suits and shorts. It's hard to have these scars that have stuck with me, and I might have traded them both for puking non-stop for eight or more weeks if I could have kept my old stomach and prettier legs.
Still, we get what we get, don't we. And we have continued the species, hopefully with exemplary beings that further the positive trajectory of that species. :)
Like you commented, "It's good to know when your done." Amen.
- andrea frazer said...
Oh my God, Betsy, just keep going. Or find someone at a magazine that you can help by linking their writers from Momfo. Once you do that, a relationship is established. it's much harder to say no, then, to someone you love. And they will love you. Just look at it from a different angle!!!!! Go do this!
- Christy said...
I don't think that anyone should have to feel guilty for hating being pregnant...fertile or not.
I have struggled with infertility...I was only able to have both of my children through in vitro, the first after 6 years of trying...and I still hated being pregnant.
I didn't even have horrible pregnancies, there are women I know who had a much tougher time of it, yet I still say that there were only two things good about being pregnant...feeling the baby move and knowing that there would be a baby at the end. In my mind, it's one of those things that you just do because of the end result.
And those women who say that being pregnant was the best time of their lives? I say they are either lying, crazy or both ;)
Thank goodness for Zofran. I had the same type of experience and therefore ONE lovely daughter! I still gag when I brush my teeth or smell certain foods cooking, and the pregnancy was 8 years ago. Thanks for always sharing Betsy.
- Betsy said...
Lorrie: Yes that toothbrush gagging and dirty oven aversion is hard to shake.
I just found this blog. Thank God!!! I am pregnant for the second time (not by choice!). My first pregnancy was on purpose and miserable enough for me not to ever want to do it again, but the desire for a second child was intense. When I found out I was six weeks along, I was both happy (to know that at least six weeks were done already) and horrified (like a prison sentence being handed down - seven and a half months of hard time!).
I keep staring at my daughter to remind myself that this is the end result. I am only eight weeks along and want to kill someone, have horrible dreams, don't sleep well, my breasts hurt, I am more tired than I ever remember being (even working all night then going out to an after-after party high on drugs - I still had more energy than this!). I can't say anything to anyone because we have so many friends who are trying so hard to get pregnant...and here I am at the age of 38, defying the odds, getting pregnant while on the pill no less and not even trying.
I am trying to be grateful. I know I will love my baby, but I wish I could just get knocked out cold and someone could wake me up when the baby is ready to come out.
Anyhow, all this to say thank you for speaking out.
This is so beautifully written. I teared up when I read about you and your daughter in the bath together. You are a mom and you are amazing!
Betsy, thanks for this. I too hated being pregnant (twice), I just can't face it ever again even though I love my kids very much and would also love more. But I don't tell people about that because they just don't understand, because pregnancy is beautiful! Well, no. Not for me. Babies are beautiful, but what you have to do to get there... I'm so glad that that part is over!!!
THANK YOU for this post!!! Our daughter was born thanks to a gestational surrogate. I so wanted to have a child, be pregnant and was, of course, sad that I couldn´t. Reading your post made me feel better. I know there is nothing like the moment when your child is born from you, but the way you described the 9 months leading up to your deliveries, well, it doesn´t sound ¨rosey¨. I´m so glad that everything worked out for you, though.
Betsy, I believe honesty is the best policy and commend you for this post. I am 11 weeks pregnant with my second child (unplanned) and am ready to slide down the stairs stomach first. My first child is 16 and what I remember of that pregnancy is little to nothing. OMG, am I being punished? I feel as though my body is rejecting the baby as if it is a virus or something. I am definitely not seeing the beauty of pregnancy, but I do see a doctors appointment for my husband to get fixed! He is such a sweetheart and loads of help, but I still just want to beat the hell out of him sometimes for not being able to share this physical misery, but then again he does have to deal with me, so I guess we are sort of even.
Anyhoo....I love your post! It made me laugh because I can completely relate and it made me cry because it is wonderful to know that others feel this way too.
So thankful for this type of sharing. I HATE the out of control feeling when I'm pregnant. It feels like every time you complain about something to your OB, they shake their head, smirk a little, and go "Oh that's just part of pregnancy, nothing we can do about it." I hate just watching things happen to my body that I have no control over. So frustrating and yet no one wants to hear how I really feel. Blerg. Almost done. 6 more weeks left on #3 for me. Then cut and burn those tubes because I'm adopting after this if we want more kids.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Some people look at me absolutely horrified (members of my own family, no less) that I don't enjoy my bouts of pitting edema and having to gag on multiple supplements and crazy amounts of high protein/day.
What a horrible person I am to think that I should be able to eat what I want!
Zofran was a lifesaver,but I had to practically beg the Dr. To give it to me, because Vit. B6 works for everyone? (I'm just being sarcastic).
Thank you so much for writing this! When I googled "i hate pregnancy," I never thought I would find something so comforting and relatable. I'm a little over six weeks and staring down the barrel of the next eight months with what I thought was unnatural dread. Again, thanks for posting this; it's good to know I'm not alone.
I really enjoyed this post. It's hard for me to relate to anyone of my friends. I also have hypermesis and acid reflux along with it. It is just agony. I emphasize and sympathize with any woman going through this.
Your post said it all. I really enjoyed it. I understand absolutely everything. Thank you so much for sharing this. And everybody else btw! I too HAAAATE being pregnant. Our body MADE for that!? It s a natural, thus EASY thing to do!? Yep, these women who say so MUST be either lyers, or crazy, or both! ;ppp I really hated the fact that so many women of my entourage just didn't get it, that, YES, it is possible to have a miserable pregnancy, HATE IT, and want to talk about it!!! AND IT DOESN'T MEAN WE HATE OUR BABIES!!!!! :SSS We're trying for bb2 right now as we want our wonderful 13 month boy to have a sibling, but, oh la la... I just want to cry at the thought of having to go through all this again! I'm panicking inside. Just like when I feel a tiny bit nauseous again! It was a true nightmare; the swelling (ankles, legs, eyes, face,...), the nausea, the BREATHING, the weight gain (more than 55 pounds on my skinny frame... now gone forever? :).), the skin tags, the mask in the face (WHAT GLOW?!?!), sleeping on my side, going to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Dear God. I hated everything. Going to work was horrible. And the delivery. Emergency c section after 12 hours of contractions and indifference at our bb almost dying 3 times during labour, resulting in brain damage, recognized by a doctor only after 48 hours of trying to convince every single nurse and doctor that put a foot in our room that our baby was moving his arm weirdly, and having to put up with the condescending looks and responses that, for first time parents (in their 40s), we didn't understand that this was NORMAL. BTW, my husband IS a doctor, did his specialty as a OBGYN, and no one was listening to what he kept repeating to them, that a c section was urgent, and afterwards that the bb had something! Unbelievable. So... It s gonna take all of our courage as we say in French to go through another pregnancy, AND delivery again. :/
Well I am 25 and I foolishly thought that being young and healthy was going to help, and I was so wrong, basically the ONlY thing I haven't experienced is morning sickness (but im not shouting victory just yet either..) NO OnE tells you how much this sucks and doesn't feel "natural and beautiful" all the time, maybe we're scared that if we say those things out loud it makes us horrible women, or mothers? Which is frankly just silly, it is like harbouring a parasite for 9 months that sucks the life and energy from you, rendering us fat and sluggish. If the consolation prize weren't so great I believe humanity would have ended when birth control began..loved this post, made me feel less bad about complaining xxx
- Chantuay McCoy said...
I had two relatively good pregnancies but I can relate to what you said. Your body is no longer your own and food? FORGET ABOUT IT! With my first one it was tuna fish on a pita with jalapeno peppers and my second one was nothing but blueberries. And I mean A LOT of blueberries. I had my first one at 39 and my second one at 41, what I miss most is my body. I wasn't skinny but I looked good with nice curves, now I still have my curves but the seem to all be sticking out from my stomach. Do you know how hard it is to get a 43 year old body back in shape?? Try impossible. :)
Thank you for putting this out there, I think you just became the virtual voice for millions of mothers! :)
THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS! i am 17 weeks and an laying in bed wishing someone would just put me out to pasture! Pregnacy SUCKS and i know it is worth it in the end, but that doesnt help when u feel like u are experinceing a hangover that wont end!
- Baby shower coupons said...
I am sure that many parents appreciate what you shared here. No matter what anyone says, pregnancy is a labor of love, a gift. Nothing worthwhile in this world comes easy.
Somebody, somewhere had to work for it. Making it seem like pregnancy is just effortless sort of downplays the significance of everything that is happening while you are carrying another human.

WATERTOWN — The city could end up paying the costs of sending some Jefferson County inmates off to other jails if city prearraignment detainees cause more overcrowding at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building.
The city may be charged $600 to $800 for shuttling jail inmates round-trip with a two-person transport team if the trips occur because city suspects are staying in the county lockup, City Attorney Robert J. Slye said.
The sheriff's department and county officials also propose that the city pay $149.53 daily for city detainees kept in the PSB's holding cells. The city has been paying a half-day per diem charge.
The proposed changes result from new guidelines by the state Commission of Correction. The commission directed the sheriff's department no longer to house prearraignment suspects because it was in contradiction to state law. The city detainees now are being held in a pair of city lockup cells on the first floor of City Hall, near City Court.
The guidelines state that detainees must be placed in the jail's general population after 12 hours, or after four hours if more than one suspect has been placed in a single holding cell, Mr. Slye said.
In recent weeks, he has discussed the changes with County Attorney David J. Paulsen. Mr. Slye raised the issue during Monday night's Watertown City Council meeting.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham was alarmed to hear about the proposed charges. He instructed Mr. Slye to hold off on the agreement with the county. But Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. said "the ultimate goal" is to get city police officers back on the street and not keeping watch over detainees in city lockup.
Meanwhile, the county Board of Legislators approved the fee structure during its meeting Tuesday night.
It remains to be seen, however, whether the city will be liable to the county for the cost of detainees.
City and county officials hope that speedier arraignments by judges — within four hours for detainees held together and within 12 hours for detainees held individually — will alleviate the potential for overcrowding.
The city and county are waiting for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to sign legislation that will allow prearraignment city suspects once again to stay in the county holding cells. In recent weeks, both the state Assembly and Senate approved legislation pertaining to the prearraignment suspects.
Ever since the PSB's 1992 construction, suspects arrested by city police were held there to await arraignment.

OGDENSBURG Eleven animals are dead and one dog is receiving medical treatment after what St. Lawrence County Animal Control Officer James E. Pipher said is one of the worst cases of animal neglect hes ever seen.
Two state police officers knocked on the door of a house on County Route 6 in Oswegatchie about 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
They were looking for someone on a bench warrant, but thats not who they found.
Through the window at the front door the troopers saw a white pit bull mix approach the door.
You could see every bone in its body, one of the troopers said. As soon as we let him outside he started gulping snow.
The troopers investigated the house and found that there was no heat, and any water the dog had access to was frozen.
The troopers also found eight dead chickens and two dead rabbits in coops on the side of the house, and a small dead dog lying frozen stiff in the snow.
I havent seen anything like this in a long time, Mr. Pipher said. This just made me sick to my stomach.
Edward C. McGaw Jr., of County Route 6, Oswegatchie, was charged by state troopers with 12 counts of neglect of an impounded animal.
The animals were all under the care of Mr. McGaw, who was renting the property.
The officers said Mr. McGaw told them he had been staying at another residence since Monday, but would stop back three times a week to give the animals food and water.
But the property hadnt been plowed and there were no footprints, one of the officers said. Plus the condition of the dog was so bad. Its hard to believe it only took five days to get that bad.
Police said Mr. McGaw voluntarily surrendered the dog, which was turned over to Mr. Pipher and is being treated at Bridge Port Veterinary Clinic, 5962 Route 812.
Mr. Pipher said normally he would take care of the dog himself until it was ready to be adopted, but this dog needed immediate medical attention.
It was too weak to even walk in the snow, so I picked it up and carried it to the car, he said. At this point, you cant just give it food and water and expect it to bounce back.
Mr. McGaw is scheduled to appear in Oswegatchie Town Court.

Comments about Outdoor Research Astral Skort (Women's):
I really liked this skort once I got the right size. I bought the size that I normally wear in skirts/bottoms but since there is no zipper, you have to shimmy it up over your thighs/hips. The next size up is much easier to get on, but I still have to shimmy at little bit. This skort will be the perfect skort to wear with flats on casual work days, or with flip flops around town, or my commuter bike. It is not binding or tight, just flowy, breathable - perfect for the hot days ahead!

The former members started at least two other boards; BAM and PRSForums. There were hurt feelings on both sides. Both forums were active for many years, BAM folded and PRSF is still thriving.
Two posts made this morning have lead me to believe that some of the bad blood still exists:

I also spend time at the Non-BAM PRS Forum. The folks here appear to be oblivious to its existence. It has a large international membership.

"If it's the forum I think your talking about, we're not oblivious - just pretend it doesn't exist :twisted: :lol:"
It is time to move on, open our minds and get positive. Members of both forums are registering here. Some of them know PRSH and many have invested enormous amounts of time, money and love for their PRS guitars. You have talked to them at Experience. They live in Maryland, DC, Toronto, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Poland, Scandinavia and other places around the world
A mind is a terrible thing to close. Serious attempts by either group to dominate this forum will be met with pity. There is only one "We" here.
