WASHINGTON – More than 100 members of various labor unions, many of them furloughed federal workers, gathered outside the east end of the Capitol building Friday afternoon to protest the government shutdown.
Their message to Congress echoed in harmony through their continuous chant: "We want to work, we want to work."
"Let our people get back to work, and stop holding us as hostages," says Janet Coyle, who represented the American Federation of Government Employees.
Alexis Vasquez, 18, attended the rally because he wants to see justice for federal workers.
"I want them to take us into consideration, and to see how we're suffering," he says.
Vasquez lives with his father and sister. After high school graduation he took a job in the McDonalds at the National Air and Space Museum, he says, to save for his college education and to help his unemployed father with the bills.
"So, I can't help him pay bills any longer because of this situation," Vasquez says.
Marcelo Del Canto has found himself in a similar situation. He and his wife are furloughed, and they've had to scale back on expenses, most notably day care for their 4-year-old son.
"He's at home now wondering why he's home. We've had to tell him mommy and daddy are not working right now, so it's not a fun place to be right now," says Del Canto, who works for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Jackie Nantier works in the executive branch, though she wouldn't say in what capacity. She puts a lot of the blame for the shutdown on Republicans, but she says both Republicans and Democrats are to blame for suffering families have to endure.
"I want them to respect our service to the country, because these are patriots here," Nantier says. "We work for the federal government because we are patriots, but we also have families to support."

The thoughts and activities of a country and its citizens are reflected in its books and periodicals. More than 800,000 Norwegians emigrated to America between 1825 and 1930. These emigrants established their own communities, from which emerged a body of literature that describes the causes of emigration, the journey, settlements, congregations, and the whole cultural life of an immigrant community. Migration studies in general are an important field of research today. Studies of the Norwegian-American experience in particular are conducted on both sides of the Atlantic adding its special impetus to the larger field.
This website makes accessible the complete text of selected books, excerpts from books, as well as articles in full text covering various aspects of Norwegian emigration to North America and the Norwegian-American immigrant experience between 1825 and 2000.

McCutchan and Martinkus will present program on the history of Matson Public Library
PRINCETON — On April 15, 1913, the Matson Public Library Building on Courthouse Square was dedicated. This marked a culmination of efforts to establish a free public library in the city of Princeton that began in 1885 with a bequest in the will of Nehemiah Matson.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a laboratory test to measure the amount of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) in your blood.
A1AT test
A blood sample is needed.
There is no special preparation.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
This test is helpful in identifying a rare form of emphysema in adults and a rare form of liver disease (cirrhosis) in children and adults caused by an A1AT deficiency. A1AT deficiency is passed down through families. The condition causes the liver to make too little of a protein that protects the lungs and liver from damage.
Everyone has two copies of the gene that makes A1AT. Most people with a lower-than-normal level of A1AT have one normal gene for A1AT, and one abnormal gene. Persons with two abnormal copies of the gene have more severe disease.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A lower-than-normal level of A1AT may be associated with:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

Drool-Worthy Workshop Videos for 2012comments (7) December 29th, 2011 in blogs
In the woodworking world, the new year often brings to mind thoughts of projects to come and dreams of palatial—or just plain quaint—workshops most of us can only lust for. As we get ready to say goodbye to 2011 and usher in 2012, I thought it might be nice to give some kudos to two of my favorite shops. So sit back, grab a cold one (or a warm one for that matter) and dream a little!
Down a Gravel Road
The one and only time (to date) I had the pleasure of poking around Garrett's Hack turned out to come on the eve of an auspicious ocassion. Last February I had trucked up to Thetford Center, Vermont to capture Garrett as he crafted an elegant side table dubbed the "Spinner Table" for a Video Workshop many of you may have seen earlier this year. Much to my dismay, my wife went into labor at 3am, the morning after our first day of shooting.
Nestled into a hillside that overlooks the rolling hills of northern New England, Garrett's shop is the kind of place you just want to spend all day in. Toss a few logs into the stove, crack open a thermos of strong coffee, and get building.

peacful african cichlids?
hello i have a 55 gallon community tank planted with guppies tetras kribs and typical community fish . i was wonder if there are any african cichlids that are peaceful and could thrive in my tank for example a sunshine peacock. the fish will be a centerpiece( if not any other suggestions0?!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) :):):):)
I would stay away from the africans from the lakes for the most part. They usually need to be kept a certain way like in a harem or by pairs. I certainly wouldn't keep a peacock by itself. Plus I am pretty sure a peacock would make short work of your guppies. Actually you already have an african in your tank. Kribs are african cichlids. I would get more until you have a pair and go with those.

text: Feb.05,2014: The first UN report on children in Syria's civil war paints picture of 'unspeakable' horrors. It says that Syrian children have been subjected to "unspeakable" suffering in the nearly three years of civil war, with the Government and allied militia responsible for countless killings, maiming and torture. The report also condemns the opposition for recruiting youngsters for combat and using terror tactics in civilian areas. "Violations must come to an end now," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in the report, which was released Tuesday to the Security Council. Ban urged all parties to the conflict to take, without delay, all measures to protect and uphold the rights of all children in Syria."The report, covering the period from 1 March 2011 to 15 November 2013, lists numerous horrors that Syria's children have suffered since the opposition first sought to oust President Bashar al-Assad. They range from sexual violence, to a more general violation of their rights from school closures and denial of access to humanitarian aid. The report also spotlights the disappearance of many children. It notes that all parties to the conflict have seriously hampered the delivery of humanitarian assistance in areas most affected by the fighting, and warns that children have experienced a high level of distress as a result of witnessing the killing and injuring of members of their families and peers, or of being separated from their family or being displaced.Source: UN

The lives of two African American boxers help to personify the fight against racial apartheid that restricted the lives of all African Americans in the twentieth century. Jack Johnson and Joe Louis boxed in different time periods, but each promoted a spirit of racial pride among African Americans and contributed to the quest for civil rights. This research examines the complex racial pride fostered by these boxers within their time periods and the impact that it had on each of these men in and out of the ring. Finally and most importantly, this research will show how the media played an integral role in the development of this racial pride as well as in the acceptance or rejection of black athletes by the African American population.

Up to 7 inches of snow fell in Denver, causing a few flight

canceled flights have been moved to others.
Snow has also fallen in parts of Wyoming, Minnesota and
Nebraska, sometimes making driving difficult.
An official in Wyoming says a semi trailer slid off Interstate
80 and overturned. He says numerous other vehicles went into
ditches on the interstate and other highways. No injuries have been
In Nebraska, the most snow reported was 8 inches. But the

I Am SOOOO Glad He Is Not Playing For Us Anymore...
So now think about how many times Armando Benitez blew saves for us back in the day...and how that boomerang is coming back to hit him in the head.
Couple this with Lastings Milledge hitting a game-tying home run last year in a save opportunity, and now Carlos Delgado coming back from the dead...TWICE...this was a good night.
"It's not my problem. His job is to pitch and my job is to hit." -- Delgado, on Benitez (LOL)
To be honest folks, I didn't see much of the game after Oh Pea was taken out. Though he had a decent night, the Mets just couldn't score off Lincecum -- another Gomer Pyle look-alike who was fixing to be the next SUCK ME candidate. I ended up falling asleep soon after...
Oh and by the way, Atlanta lost too.
I am going to a concert tonight with SassDawg, so I probably won't be posting for another two days or so. See you in a few!
6 comments:
- mr. met said...
Lincecum as SUCK ME candidate? No way. Dude is legit. SUCK ME only works with no namers. He is already the type of guy that you almost assume a loss against and don't feel that bad when you do. A win against him is great one.
That Delgado quote is simply tasty. I will take all the credit for his resurgence as he has bounced back significantly after a six inch sticker of him was plastered on the wall at work. I will try and work up stats to reflect his numbers pre-sticker and post-sticker.
What concert?
- George said...
I'm with Mr. Met on Lincecum, and not just because he's on my fantasy baseball team (actually, Oh Pea is too, now--yesterday was a nailbiter in too many ways). Lincecum just brings it with movement on a fastball I haven't seen in a long time. And he's not even 6 feet tall.
Oh, you go to a concert and can't post for 2 days? That's some concert!
- Coop said...
I know, after last night especially, the Lincecum is the real deal. I only used SUCK ME because...well, face it folks, he looks like Gomer Pyle and Alfred E Neuman had a baby.
Hee hee hee - about the concert. I am going to see Keane at the Rumsey Playfield. I was just warning. I might just save my post for the Happy ReCoop for May on Friday. But who knows, i've been known to show up even when I say I won't be here.
- mr. met said...
Lincecum does look like he's 12. Really amazing. You guys like that hook? Humber has one just like it and throws 94 mph. Once he gets back on track he is going to be fun to watch. He's not on Lincecum's level, but he's still pretty damn good.
Ah, enjoy Keane. I've seen them open up for U2 and they were good.
- Coop said...
I've seen Keane multiple times, including a show at the Bowery Ballroom for a small crowd. It was slamming, they are seriously one of my favorite bands.
Lincecum is not a SUCKME Coop. Lincecum is going to be a name to remember for a long time. The kid is nasty. SUCKME's are reserved for pieces of shit like Kyle Davies.

San Francisco, CA (PRBuzz.com) December 28, 2012 -- New studies suggest that there is strong evidence that tobacco use can modify and affect genes known to increase the risk of developing cancer.
DNA is not density, and chemical compounds that affect the functioning of genes can bind into genetic material. In other words, it can turn particular genes on or off.
These so-called epigenetic modifications have the potential to influence a variety of genetic traits, including obesity and sexual preference. Scientists have noted that epigenetic patterns of genes in people who choose to smoke. None of the modified patterns thus far found have any direct links to cancer, which makes it unclear if the alterations directly affect one's capability of developing cancer or other diseases.
The new study was published in the Human Molecular Genetics publication. Researchers analyze epigenetic signature cells from 374 individuals enrolled in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). The group is a massive study that is geared toward noting the link of diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors that incidence of cancer, as well as other common chronic diseases.
Within the group, half are people who went on to develop colon or breast cancer within five to seven years after joining the study. The other half remained healthy.
James Flanagan led the study. Flanagan is a human geneticist at Imperial College London, and discovered a distinct "epigenetic footprint" in subjects that chose to smoke. Such individuals had fewer chemical tags noted as methyl groups on 20 separate regions of DNA.
The study is the first to establish a possible link between epigenetic modification on cancer gene and risk of developing disease, according to Robert Philibert, who is an expert in behavioral geneticist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. "To the best of my knowledge, no previous genome-wide epigenetics study has taken such efforts from initial discovery to replication to experimental validation," adds Lutz Breitling, an epidemiologist at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany.

Kuhli Loaches & White Cloud Minnows & Temperature
I've read in a couple places (notably Loaches: Natural History and Aquarium Care) that white cloud minnows are good tank mates/dither fish for cobitidae loaches (like pangio kuhlii). I'd like to use them in my tank, but I'm concerned that their preferred temperature ranges don't overlap... White clouds seem to prefer 62-73 F, kuhlis 76-84 F (varies a little depending on source).
How are people combining these species? Do they just keep the temperature in the low range for kuhlis and let the white clouds adjust since they're hardier?
Kuhlii's and whiteclouds will do fine at temps of 74 to to76 degrees.
So what happens when you keep fish at temperatures that are too warm for them? Decreased lifespan? It seems kind of inhumane to me.

George Mason University students have elected a drag queen as homecoming queen.
Student Ryan Allen beat out two women for the title at the small school in suburban Washington, D.C., famous for its run to the Final Four a few years back.
Allen competed under his drag queen persona of Reann Ballslee.
Allen, who is gay and performs in drag at nightclubs, said he entered as a joke. But he considers the victory one of his happiest moments and proof the school celebrates its diverse student body.
The senior from Virginia's Goochland County won the pageant about a week ago at a sold-out homecoming basketball game against Northeastern. George Mason's basketball team pulled off a string of upsets to advance to the Final Four in 2006.

Republicans, gather and talk
To the Editor:
I'm getting tired of seeing so many American flags around town. Flags on cars, flags on buildings, flags in people's yards.
I suppose it is a way of saying to our armed forces that we support them. But are we proud of this war? Are we proud of killing our National Guard (read "national guard" literally) in Iraq?
I was tired of this war the day it started. It was started against the will of most nations. It was started without provocation. I'm tired of paying for it.
And speaking of paying for it, what was the ridiculous idea behind that tax refund I got? Some folks got thousands of dollars. Many folks got nothing. What a way to help the rich get richer. And what lousy economics when at the same time you are stealing money from the federal budget.
I'm tired of being lied to by my president. I'm tired of his party. They don't pay attention to the needs of us folks who elected them. They don't pay attention to education, health needs and the needs of old folks.
Theodore Roosevelt set aside more public land as national forests, national monuments and wildlife refuges than any Republican president before or since. The old Rough Rider would be appalled by many of today's Republicans who don't have the environmental sense God gave a goose.
If you are a Republican, get together with your fellow Republicans and talk. Are you really happy with what your party is doing? Do you want our country to try to run the rest of the world? Do you like the way we are being taken care of. The Republicans seem to have lost a love for the values of nature.
You folks in Northeast Oregon could help rebuild that in your party.

Invest in children, not building
To the Editor:
The voters of the Imbler School District are being asked to finance the building of an elementary school for $4.25 million over 20 years.
This is a very expensive project for about 160 students. Enrollment has been shrinking so we are likely to be paying for a building that will not meet the needs of the district before it is even paid for.
The current public education system is in crisis, and change is already starting, as seen by the growth in alternative schools, charter schools and home-schooling.
Spending all of our community's resources on this school building will leave no money for true investment in our children. The proposed tax rate will require many families to make sacrifices, far above the actual benefit to children. Vote no. This is not the best investment for our children.

Legislature needs diversity
To the Editor:
That's my assessment of the Register Guard's calling for the resignation of Greg Smith as legislator in the "other views" column of Saturday's opinion page. The Eugene paper called for Smith's resignation because of his position as executive director of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association.
The related Observer editorial on Thursday calling for new legislation regarding conflicts of interest by legislators was also shortsighted.
Show me any legislator who never has a conflict of interest on some issue and I will show you a legislator not worth electing. How about the professional backhoe operator who also serves as statewide president of the union? Should she be deprived of legislative service? Or the president of Columbia Gillnets, a manufacturer who has a passion toward fishing issues? Should he be precluded from legislative service? Of course not. Is "trusting a legislator" an oxymoron? I hope not.
Our Oregon legislative system is under severe threat from the run-amok initiative process. We don't need additional legislation to limit or discourage good folks from running for office. If they violate standards, we have an ethics commission as a checkpoint. If they betray our trust or neglect our interests, the next election should take care of that.
We need incentives to encourage those who can initiate, who can provide leadership and who have talent and skill and interest to address hard issues.
Minimize the disincentives such as more legal restrictions. It already is hard enough to attract people with the needed personal resources, stamina and commitment. Our system thrives best on broad representation from across Oregon including fisherpersons, ski resort workers, teachers, recyclers, cherry pickers, business executives, and yes, even a lawyer or two.
We cannot afford a Legislature comprised solely of those who are rich or who represent one or two professional sectors.

Community comes through
To the Editor:
We don't often think about the community we live in until something happens.
On Oct. 3 a fire took our home. The shock of disaster is unbelievable to stand and watch everything destroyed after 48 years.
Our first thoughts are thanks for the lives of loved ones, but then of the loss of some pets. And then comes the reality. Things we spent every day with pictures, clothes, knickknacks, keepsakes and all the household items hauled around over the years.
The roof over our heads is gone. A favorite pillow even the margarine cup you put your teeth in at night.
The Red Cross made arrangements for a place to sleep. The staff and owners of the motel were most gracious. All the phone calls and messages, and they allowed us to keep our dog, Jitters, with us.
The messages came, one after another. Individuals, family, organizations, businesses and churches, all offering help of all kinds.
We don't realize how fortunate we are to live here in the Grande Ronde Valley. The concern and pulling together of the pioneers who settled here long ago is still alive. Like an old-fashioned barn raising, a neighbor miles away comes and helps rebuild a home.
We found a place to move into, and furniture to get us started. My husband is disabled and recently broke his hip, resulting in surgery and a long recuperation.
We have asked, Why us? But we know now. It was to bring us together with concern, love and a binding of the community once again.
There are no words to cover the emotions of these last few weeks. God bless every one who helped us, beginning with the fire department.
Don't stop the prayers; we can still use them.

Consider consolidation
To the Editor:
The question of whether or not to vote for the Imbler school bond levy raises some interesting questions about the future of education in Oregon.
Facing reduced state support and increased spending at the local level, I wonder if we can afford to retain small school districts and commit large sums of money on new school buildings. We are facing a state income tax surcharge, and the La Grande district will see a 7 percent increase in its property tax.
We need to support education, but we also need to avoid unnecessary expenses. Maybe the time has come to consider school consolidation. If we can avoid the duplication of building costs, energy bills and administrative staff, and if in the process provide a greater variety of programs, and increase their quality, we might make education more affordable.
I know that local sports teams are important to a community; however, it is the future of our educational system that is at stake. We must examine new and more efficient ways of providing education to our youth.
Established bureaucracies tend to perpetuate the usual order of things. We, however, prefer to spend our limited resources wisely. The consolidation of school districts in this area might accomplish this.

Children feel better
To the Editor:
This past Saturday, about 50 people gathered at Mamacita's International Grill to participate in a fund-raising event for the Mount Emily Safe Center.
The center is a safe place for children to talk about being victims of abuse. There are many such centers throughout Oregon and the United States. Children are referred to the center by Department of Human Services staff or by law enforcement agencies in Union, Baker and Wallowa County.
The children are given a full checkup by one of the community health nurses. The checkup helps children to know their bodies are OK or will be OK very soon.
During a videotaped interview, an officer observes and makes a determination on the level of risk to the child. The officer is also looking for possible criminal acts. Sometimes the reported abuse does not reach a criminal level but in all cases, the children and families are referred to appropriate counseling services.
I have been interviewing children for 14 years and I want you all to know that children leave the center feeling much better because they gave their burden to the adults who are there to help them.
Saturday's fund-raiser may not have raised much in funds but it did help to raise people's awareness and understanding of why we have child-abuse assessment centers and most important, why it's all about the children.

Not tired of America
To the Editor:
In response to the Oct. 27 letter by Bill Oberteuffer, "Republicans, gather and talk." I am the Republican referred to.
I'm tired of old socialists who can find no other thought besides blaming the rich.
I'm tired of election-year hate-speeches that Democrats are blathering these days, especially about our positive action in Iraq. I'm tired of Americans who work to undermine the efforts of their own protectors.
Iraq is a battle not a war. The war is against terrorism. According to Oberteuffer's letter, he's tired of everything. But you're not tired of hearing Saddam lie to buy time so that he might assemble his attack on us. You are only tired of what you perceive as "being lied to by my president."
Well I'm tired of the Clintonian standard of truth.
I'm tired of Americans who think terrorists are justified, and that rebuking terrorism is proof of American bullying.
I'm tired of being accused of hating nature because I'm Republican, and because I don't have faith in the interpretations of environmental leftists. There are environmental rightists, they are scientists. Democrats do not own nature or science.
I'm tired of taxpayers who are unable to do the math necessary to figure out why those who have paid more in taxes should get more in refunds.
Finally, he's "getting tired of seeing so many American flags around town." Seeing such a statement from a grown man really does make me tired. If I didn't have such strong convictions about what that flag represents, I'd probably just give up.
I'm not tired of America. I'm not tired of the flag that represents it. I'm not tired of a society of individuals who risk their lives to protect the rights of man who chooses to be tired of everything.

With A Little Help From My Friends
When my close friend David died, I thought I had been enlightened from grief but, in truth, I became more and more aloof from others.
Upon arriving at the service, I found myself in the arms of my dear circle mates who were emanating nothing but love and connection. How did it happen that I had been so blind to my own grief, and further that I would project it all onto my friends, causing no small amount of mischief and hurt?
As Stephen Levine says, "Grief has a quality of healing in it that is very deep because we are forced to a depth of emotion that is usually below the threshold of our awareness." My lesson in all this is a deeper understanding of the need to come together in mutual grief.
None of us can ride above the waters of sorrow and pain alone. And the closer we can be to one another when our hearts are breaking, the better. Phones and emails are good, but they cannot replace the soothing and nurturing truth that we are physical beings with need for physical touch. Coming together is the most powerful way to go through such "depth of emotion."
Throughout the memorial I was surrounded by the loving presence of my friends. It was deeply healing to cry and laugh as, tog ether, we remembered our dear friend.

Superb service
So they dazzled me! I bought a sweater for my wife. The package arrived faster than I expected however I had to return/exchange for a different size. I called first to get a RA and was greeted by an exceptionally cooperative voice and bingo as fast as I could explain my request the RA and return pre-paid UPS label were shooting out of my printer with backup Email confirming our conversation and clear simple instructions for the return. My helper checked inventory and put a hold on the replacement as not to be sold to another order. I was notified by Email when UPS picked up the return & when the replacement was shipped. And the entire round trip from the day I shipped the return until I had the replacement in hand was 7 days. These guys made the caveat of on-line ordering as painless as possible. Superb customer service & superb follow-up! My wife loves the sweater and I have a new place to buy all our ski stuff
Awesome sweater
Before I purchased this sweater I bought another ski sweater just like it. The Dale of Norway wool is much better. Doesn't pill. Feel amazing on. The other sweater already looks used after 2 wearings
Almost perfect ...
'Love everything about the sweater but it could be an inch longer. I am big-breasted & it's a tad short. It is beautiful & well made if pricey.
Yep I agree. Give us girls with some hooters an inch or two!

I've never been to a tanning salon, nor do I ever plan to go. I damaged my skin the old-fashioned way, with the sun. Like most people my age, we tried to get a tan on at the beach. We worked on our tan with a mixture of iodine and baby oil. We bought Hawaiian suntan lotion; nobody I knew ever used sun block. I didn't get much of a tan what with my grandma's Irish skin.
I remember several severe sunburns I've gotten over the years while sailing, swimming, golfing, or working in the yard. Last year, it all came back to bite me on the butt, or should I say shoulder, when I had a chunk of squamous cell skin cancer removed at the Uconn Medical Center. They got it all and the worst thing to happen was it shortened my golf season so the incision could heal.
I use sun block extensively now (I plan to be the whitest white man in Connecticut) but it's too late, really. The damage has been done. Now I'll live the rest of my life suspicious of every blemish, pimple, skin tag, mole, wart, freckle, or discoloration I find anywhere on my body. All I can do is go to my skin doctor once a year, listen to his corny jokes, and hope for the best.
I'm not calling for tanning salons to be outlawed any more than I'd call for cigarettes to be outlawed, but I agree with the Fat Tax. I think governments should tax unhealthy foods high in saturated fat, sugar, nitrates, nitrites, and any other substance proven to be damaging to our health. Soda pop? Tax it to the limit. It's noble to try to educate people to eat and live in a healthy way, but it's not the only approach. Some people pride themselves in their stupidity. Education is for uppity folks. Real men don't eat salads. You've heard these comments. Fine, do what you want, and pay for it, in more ways than one.

A sycamore church destroyed by fire last month will not be built on its former site.
Fire gutted St. John's Lutheran Church on Feb. 9, injuring two firefighters. According to church leader Rev. Don Phelps, members of the congregation voted Sunday night not to reconstruct the church on south Main Street.
That location had been it's home for more than a 120 years. Church members decided to form a building and planning committee to look for a new site.
Another meeting will be held Monday night on the issue.

Someone PLEASE tell me the REAL truth about labor. I want to know all the stuff they DONT tell you!!
I'm 2 months shy of delivering my baby, and I'm so sick of everyone beating around the bush with me about what to expect. I want to know the UGLY truth of labor, so I know what to REALLY expect. Let's be honest, labor is not a "beautiful thing" the end result (your new baby) is the only beautiful thing. I want to know when your water breaks, do they change your gown, what is on the bed underneath you when liquid, blood, everything comes out? Is it sheets or what? Do they remove it as soon as you soil it? For instance, you poop during labor, when it happens do you sit in it until the end of delivery...or are they changing the cloth underneath you every so often? After delivery of the placenta, how well do they clean you? Do you smell? For how long? You can't shower afte an epidural for so many hours, so how do you NOT smell? Espically with vistors. Afterwards you bleed like crazy, should I not bring any good clothes to wear when people visit bc I'll bleed through them. PLEASE tell me!!

I know your worried about your labor, but there's no sense of worrying about it. It sounds like your a first time mom. Everyone can tell you their experience, but yours may not be the same. I found it hard to breath each time I got a huge contraction and I'm talking about when your almost fully dialated. Yet my husband was a good labor partner and that helped quite a bit. The doctor broke my water and I don't even remember feeling wet. I did not poop myself, but when i thought I felt like it, it turned out to be the baby. What I did find helpful were two things being ready to be a mom mentally and emotionally and finding a focal point. When i was able to concentrate on something it didn't matter if it was a spec on the roof or the tv that was turned off the contraction seemed less painful.posted 10/27/2010 by Isamommy
My advice - during contractions and labour, focus on the excitement of meeting your baby and not the details of what is happening to your body. The people who tell you that their labour/birth experience was "beautiful are not lying to you. They simply remember it that way despite the pain and gruesome details, because they were not caught up in the negative aspects. Everyone feels pain, gets messy, and is frightened - some more than others. But you have a job to do for your baby, and it involves pain, and pushing, and filth, and bleeding, and there is no way around that. I had a drug-free delivery, with all the of the unpleasantries - and despite this, I remember it as "beautiful". I was hours and minutes and seconds away from meeting my baby! How exciting! Generally, the less you worry, the better off you and your baby will be.posted 10/22/2010 by gulichka
I built my whole 1st pregnancy on having a normal (vaginal) birth....my water broke at home at 4am while I was sleeping. When we got to the hospital I had vague contractions nothing major, but my Doctor came in the room and said that I have two options...wait close to 37 hours as my labor was SLOW...or have a C-Section. My son's head was a perfect size to come out, but they looked at the ultrasound my Son's shoulders and hips were too wide to fit so she said even if i waited the 37 hours it might end in a C-section for the babies safety. Needless to say ya I had the C-Section, no one was dislocating my childs body just to have a natural birth....and risk of infection b/c my water broke and baby pooed inside me....baby was healthy. (everything was cleaned quickly). I'm telling you it felt like a 15 minute procedure, after the spinal tap they gave me I swear he was in my arms 15 minutes later it seemed. Bleeding lessons within a few weeks to nothing. Good luck :)posted 10/27/2010 by Annaaaa
Labor can be different for different people. there are 3 types of labor. belly labor, hip labor and back labor. I personally had hip labor. I heard back labor is the worst except for being induced. and I don't know much about belly labor. Now each kind that is where the pain pressure starts and finishes during the contraction it will spread all over those 3 areas. It's a tightening pressure like wearing a corset to tight. While in labor your body will command you as to what you should do. With my hip labor it told me to walk. I walked farther and faster than I had in months. i couldn't sit or lay down. didn't matter if I was trying to go pee. my body said walk. with back labor I hear its good to have a lot of counter pressure on it. My sister had that and her DH pushed so much for so long on her back it was bruised. They tell you to eat early on so you can keep up your strengh. don't you'll throw it up. you'll quickly learn nurses are inconsiderate of you in labor. message me formoreposted 10/31/2010 by bri&autumn-mom
I didn't even bother looking at the other answers because you want the truth. It hurts like hell. It's disgusting, and then it hurts some more. I turned down an epidural because I had a car accident that broke a few bones in my back, not to mention I know it has been medically proven that it increases your chances of having an emergency c-section (I'll take a few days of pain over 6 weeks recovering from a major surgery). Also many women throw up from it. Natural made all my labor go by very fast. (4 deliveries and pregnant with my 5th, I have also had 3 miscarriages) With labor- everyone talks about holding your baby after deliver is soooo beautiful. Heck no. After my first two I requested my baby be wiped off a little before handed to me! Also after delivery when they "Massage" the fundus don't be fooled, it can be very painful! And sleep while you can because those days end while in the hospital even, especially if you have a roommate.posted 10/28/2010 by RBuckPhoto
when you start having pain - go - tell them you want an epidural - you'll be just fine. an no - if you have ever had some kind of pain in your life - the epidural will not hurt...not like what others tell you. you'll be AOK. (some women just like the struggle for a story, but those of us whom have done it more than once - have nothing to hide...lol.posted 11/17/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
1 thing they don't tell you in class is that you will tremble a lot (also a side effect of the epidural but i had a lot of it before and after) My legs felt like rubber and I couldn't stop shaking. If you plan on getting the epidural try to get as soon as u are offered it. There is nothing more annoying that getting the epidural while going through one of those awful contractons. When I got my epidural it gave me pins and needles all over, like when your legs fall asleep and you stand up but worse. If someone told me your sitting on pins and needles I would have believed them. After the pins and needles, I felt really really warm. I also couldn't stand up and had to use a bed pan and I couldn't feel if I had to pee. Also post partum I've managed to lose complete control of my bladder 4 times (mostly in the hospital) and then my bowels a little bit once. TMI and gross but it happens. Afterward they clean up the blankets. My hospital had a disposable cloth to soak up the mess.posted 10/27/2010 by xx_mary_xx
When your water breaks (or they break it for you) it replenishes itself over and over until the baby is born so you are constantly soaking wet and gushing fluids for hours. The nurses have to change the bed pads for you. Once you get an epidural you can't pee on your own so they may have to insert a catheder here and there to drain your bladder. Once you are ready to push about 3 or 4 people crowd around your "area" with a huge blinding spotlight for all to see so if your coach isn't interested in seeing that then make him sit by your head. The worst is really after birth. The first time you have to pee they sit you up over a bed pan and you just pee, and fart, and bleed because you can't feel what's going on or help the noises your body is making. You can't wear a pad right away because they make you sit on ice packs for hours so the first walk to the bathroom can be a big bloody mess! They also come in every few hours to push blood out of your uterus & u may pee/poop yourself.posted 11/04/2010 by amyharty
You will have pads underneath you and they will change them regularly until after the birth. Once you give birth, they will put these sexy panties on you with a pad that will catch everything. I wouldn't bring many nice bottoms unless you plan to be up and around when guests are there. I tend to bring a top and don't get out of bed when people are there. The end of the bed comes off during delivery so you don't "sit" in anything. If you do poop, they clean it up right away. I threw up during delivery so I asked for new sheets and a gown. They didn't want to do the sheets because they had to roll me from side to side to do it due to my epidural. I made them do it anyway. They also rinse you off pretty well after you are stitched up and all. No smell as long as you change your pad regularly.posted 10/22/2010 by rebecca1118
I was more surprised by the amount of blood I lost afterwards. My daughter broke my tailbone on her way out, so I couldn't really stand, or sit without severe pain for a weeks afterwards. She was a very large baby though... 9lbs 4oz. Broken tailbones are very rare so I wouldn't worry about it at all. It's going to hurt like hell... but it's the best day of your life!!! My advice is to go in with an open mind and be flexible, because you are no longer in control. The baby will arrive when they want to in the manner they feel like. Emergency C-Sections, and no time for an epidural so you gotta go all natural are par for the course... let come what may... and you'll be fine. P.S if you do want an epidural, ask for it sooner rather than later. No one is waiting outside with a trophy for making it an extra couple of hours. I enjoyed the time to rest and only had to push for a short time cuz I was well rested. They also might be with other patients and you'll have to wait. GOOD LUCK!posted 10/25/2010 by working mumma

Hungary Supreme Court Rules Forex Loan Margin Was Unfair
BUDAPEST–Hungary's supreme court ruled Tuesday that using a bid-sell margin as part of a foreign-currency loan contract of the country's biggest bank OTP Bank Nyrt. was unfair.
The ruling only affects one particular contract and has a limited impact on the banking sector but similar rulings may be appearing in future cases. A ruling on a wider range of issues–including sharply higher mortgage payments due to the weaker forint–is expected in two weeks' time.
Hungary's laws aren't precedent-based therefore rulings aren't affecting future cases, especially because all the contracts are different, OTP Bank said in an e-mailed statement. OTP's share price dropped 2% after the verdict and closed at that level Tuesday afternoon.
Some banks including OTP calculated the amount stated in Swiss francs on the basis of the buy rate of the bank on the day the funds were made available, but calculated the reimbursement on the basis of the sell rate of the bank the day before the payment was due, acting in the bank's own favor.
The court decided that was an abusive clause in the loan contracts, and ruled that the National Bank of Hungary's exchange rate has to be used in the contract, in line with the European Court of Justice's April call.
A rough calculation puts the amount overcharged across all foreign currency mortgages, assuming cross-applicability of this ruling across the sector and constant profit spreads, at around EUR150 million-EUR250 million, Nomura economist Peter Attard Montalto said in a note to investors. "Today's ruling now potentially makes all banks liable for associated costs, which while small per month per contract accumulate over all forex mortgage holders and over all history of forex mortgages," he said.
The banking sector profit outlook is close to zero for the coming years. Banks are already provisioning for these issues to some degree but uncertainty over the final extent of forex mortgage reform makes this a difficult exercise.
The Kuria's body of judges will discuss on June 16 whether the ruling applies to all foreign currency loan contracts with banks. The body will decide whether it's unfair that the debtor takes all foreign currency exchange rate risk; whether the contract foreign currency exchange rate was transparent; under what circumstances is the bank allowed to make unilateral changes to the contract; and whether the central bank's foreign currency rate should be applied instead of the particular bank's bid-sell rate.
The decisions will potentially affect around half a million foreign-currency mortgage contracts in Hungary worth 3.5 trillion forints ($15.38 billion).
Foreign-currency loans were vastly popular in Hungary prior to the financial crisis because they were much cheaper to service than forint loans. But the matter became a political issue following the sharp appreciation of the Swiss franc during the global financial crisis. The Fidesz party government has repeatedly said it wants a relief system to ease the burden on borrowers who took out the loans before 2010 and now face high payments after a dramatic slide of the forint, and pledged to cut the amount of household foreign-currency debt to zero.
Mihaly Varga, the country's economy minister, said the government plans any steps that address the issue in collaboration with market participants such as the biggest trade group the Banking Association.
"A solution that helps foreign currency debtors without endangering banking sector stability is in everyone's best interest," Mr. Varga said on state radio MR1 Kossuth on Monday.
This is just one of the yet unresolved issues related to foreign currency loan contracts in Hungary on which the Kuria has to make its verdict, Societe Generale economist Phoenix Kalen said in a note to clients.
The other issue–whether banks' unilateral changes in interest rates during the life of the mortgage were fair and justified–will likely come during the course of this autumn.

Master The HCG Diet: Plan, Injections, Side Effects and Much More
- October 2015 UPDATE: FDA issued warning: HCG Diet Products Are Illegal
HCG diet was created by the British doctor A.T. Simeons, author of the book 'Pounds & Inches'. In his book, the doctor has exposed the theory behind this very popular program.
What makes this program stand out from the other weight loss methods is the fact that it uses a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This is a special type of hormone, usually found in women at pregnancy.
In the beginning of pregnancy, the role of this hormone is to support the body in fat burning process, especially when fat is broken down and used to feed the baby.
What Is The Plan Like?
There are three main phases in the plan:
- The Loading Phase – This is a preparatory phase. You are free to eat whatever you want. It's great, isn't it? However, this will only last for two days. The following phase will be much stricter and the initial stage is designed only to prepare the body for it.
- The Maintenance Phase – This is the phase in which you will really start to see results, provided that you follow the rules. For three weeks, a 500 calorie per day (Risk-benefit analysis of a hCG-500 kcal reducing diet (cura romana) in females) rule will be usually followed. This is a very low calorie diet and a lot of people get scared at the thought of extreme hunger. However, Dr. Simeons argues that there is no starvation involved. HCG will help people conquer their food cravings and go through this phase without any struggling.
- The Stabilization Phase – Like in other programs, this is a transition phase, in which you progressively switch from a very low calorie levels to higher ones. It is designed to allow a come-back to a regular diet, without the dangers of putting-on weight.
"HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or 'normal' distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets."
Foods To Eat While On This Plan
Read More: The Ultimate Resource For Losing Weight Fast And Healthy
The fact that you have quite a freedom in terms of what foods you are allowed to eat, make this diet really interesting for people around.
Due to the low calorie limit, you will not be able to eat a lot in the second phase. However, being able to enjoy a variety of foods makes things a little easier.
Below you can find a few examples of foods that you can enjoy during the strictest phase, i.e. the second one:
- Beverages: water, coffee, milk, tea
- Vegetables: lettuces, spinach, asparagus, chicory, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage
- Meat / fish: chicken breast, shrimp, veal, crab
- Seasonings: salt, pepper, vinegar, basil, garlic, parsley
- Fruits: oranges, apples, strawberries, grapefruits
This is just a part of the food list you can follow. There is enough variety to prevent getting bored during the three weeks.
What Is The Difference Between Drops vs. Injections??
As mentioned, HCG plays a key role in this eating plan, as it suppresses the appetite and it allows you to maintain such a low calorie intake.
The question is, how do you get it into your body?
Initially, people used injections and this is still a format that can be used today for those that prefer it. You can inject it deep into muscles if you know how to do it.
Otherwise, a lot of people go to a clinic in order to have this done. If you add the cost of the mixing kits, syringes, solutions and clinic fees, the expenses can be quite high.
What Do You Think? The 8 Most Effective Exercises For Full Body Weight Loss
Many dieters prefer a more convenient and cheaper format – the drops. You don't need to deal with needles and worry about the administration, like in the case of injections. You can easily put the drops under your tongue and be done with it.
You need to be careful when you purchase your drops, though. Due to the fact that the diet has grown to be quite popular, selling products such as the drops is a profitable business.
This attracted lots of companies which offer drops of questionable quality. Always double-check how reliable the producer is and don't make your choice based only on price.
The cheapest products are not always supplied by legit companies.
Homeopathic Products
Those keeping the diet will have to make a choice between following the original plan as indicated by Dr. Simeons or going the homeopathic way.
This choice is triggered by the availability of homeopathic drops. There are some debates on whether the homeopathic version is effective or not.
From a scientific point of view, if you intend to follow Dr. Simeons' method by the book, you will need to use products developed accordingly, i.e. containing the hormone.
From clinical results point of view, there are also reports that present positive results of those who have used just the homeopathic version.
However, opponents to this homeopathic wave argue that it's just a Placebo effect. The proponents of the approach argue that they get similar results without having to intervene in the hormonal balance of the body.

In the end, the ones that want to stick to the original approach will buy the classic products.
Those more inclined to experiment will give the homeopathic products a try and will see how they work for them.
What Are The Side Effects?
Like with any method out there, some people might experience side effects. It is advisable to be careful, monitor the progress and seek medical advice whenever you feel something is not right.
This diet is a low-calorie one and some common side effects found in such regimens are:
- Light-headedness.
- Headaches.
- Irritability.
- Light water retention.
HCG should facilitate the transition to the low-calorie intake. Most dieters reported that the side effects disappeared after a few days. However, if the side effects are persistent, you will need to talk to your doctor about the best course of action.
Those who chose to use injections may develop:
- Redness
- Swelling in the injected area.
This happens usually only in the cases in which the injections were not properly administrated. Make sure you know how to administer the injections properly or get some qualified professional help.
Interesting Study: The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the treatment of obesity by means of the Simeons therapy: a criteria-based meta-analysis.
Another element to take into account is that it is a hormone and the hormonal system is a very sensitive one. Although there were generally no reports of severe hormonal problems, there were cases of OHSS, i.e. ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome.
Among the symptoms of OHSS, patients reported stomach and pelvic pain, swelling and shortness of air.
Whenever you experience something that does not feel right, you should seek medical advice right away. It is actually advisable to be under medical supervision. Have blood tests done and a complete medical evaluation before starting and stay in-touch with your doctor while keeping it.
Do I Have To Exercise??
Dr. Simeons recommends only moderate exercising. This includes for example:
- Walking,
- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator,
- Light biking and so on.
Some people are confused with the fact that intense exercising is not encouraged. It all has to do with the fact that this is a low-calorie diet overall and in particular, a low carb one.
While performing high intensity exercising, the body needs carbs as a source of energy. When you keep a regular diet, your body is using the carbs you eat to produce energy and then it stores the excess glucose as glycogen in the muscles and in the liver.
Read More: Truth About Phen375: Reviews, Ingredients, Side Effects And Much More
When you start exercising intensely, your body turns to these glycogen stores and starts using them.
However, because you have a low carbs intake, the glycogen reserves are almost nonexistent. Therefore, you will start to feel bad if you force your body into intense exercising.

Dr. Simeons argues that HCG drives metabolic rate up and that it also facilitates the break-up and use of fat to produce energy. This is good news, as typically when you lose weight, your body starts to break-up part of your muscles in order to use the amino acids as a source of energy.
This leads in time to a lower metabolic rate and weight loss becomes more challenging, while weight gain is often experienced. This is not the case with this program though.
You will be able to keep most of your muscle mass intact and achieve your weight loss objectives while doing only light exercises.
It is important to respect the body and not force it to eat only low calorie food and go through an intense workout program at the same time.
Vegetarians And Their Options
Normally protein is part of the daily menu and the main source of proteins are meat and fish. In this context, it seems that vegetarians would not be able to keep the diet.
This is not quite the case though, as in most cases there are alternative solutions. It depends on what type of vegetarian you are though.
- Pescetarians are the ones who avoid meat, but are allowed to eat fish. This is the easy case, as it shouldn't be any real problem for them at all.
- Lacto-ovo-vegetarians are the ones that don't eat both meat and fish. However, they do eat eggs and dairy products. It is still possible to follow the plan, getting your protein from fat-free cottage cheese, fat-free milk and egg whites, which are all on the food list.
- Vegans are the ones avoiding all animal products. You can still use soy as a source of proteins and maybe vegan protein powder shakes. However, in this case it seems extremely challenging to get good results.
How to Get The Best Results With HCG Diet?
In order to get the best results, program should be chosen not only based on what is trendy or most effective for other people. It should be a method that suits your lifestyle to some degree.
If dieting is a permanent struggle, you will be very tempted to cheat and the results will be less than great.
Remember, your carbs consumption will be very limited. If you are currently eating a lot of carbs, you may consider lowering progressively the carbs share in your diet. This will make it easier for your body to adjust to this new plan.
Another element to consider is exercising. Dr. Simeons recommends only light exercising. Therefore, if you are currently going for very intense workouts, you should adjust this for the period in which you plan to follow the diet.
- Make sure you learn all you can before you start. You should can start with Dr. Simeons' book 'Pounds & Inches'.
- Any diet involves a certain level of stress for your body. It is not the best idea to plan your weight reduction during the most stressful period of the year, after going through a prolonged illness and so on. Getting enough rest also has positive effects on any diet.
- In terms of products, using injections or drops depends on your personal preference. However, you need to be very careful in choosing a reputable company that produces quality products.
As a final consideration, getting medical support is key in order to make sure you are safe and to maximize the results. The best way is to start by a complete medical examination including blood tests and to stay in touch with your doctor throughout the dieting process.

Reviews for
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 1 : Perfect Collection
Library Journal Reviews 2004 July #1
Nausicaa is the gifted teenaged princess of a small valley on a devastated far-future Earth, where a growing poisonous forest is threatening the last human settlements. As an excellent gunship pilot, she is drawn by an old alliance into a war between neighboring kingdoms. But the pacifistic Nausicaa is much more interested in exploring the secrets of the forest. This complex ecological adventure epic-a true comics classic-is the only extended manga work by renowned anime director Miyazaki (Spirited Away). His lush, detailed art, reproduced here in sepia ink, is more reminiscent of European artists such as Moebius than of most manga, but manga fans will be drawn into the story nonetheless. Viz's first edition of Nausicaa was seven volumes; later these were recompiled into a four-volume set. This new edition reverts to the artwork's original right-to-left orientation, the seven-volume breakdown, and the Japanese original's larger (7" x 10") size-an improvement, as Miyazaki's pages are dense with information. Highly recommended for teens and adults alike, this tremendous series belongs in every library. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
