Standard birth story disclaimer-lots of pictures, and probably lots of words, too.
August's due date was August 7th, but I had a feeling he would come early. As we neared that date I began to fear that, like most first babies, he would come "late". He arrived Monday, August 10th-exactly when he was ready. That last week was agony-only because I was so bored and just ready to get the whole birth thing over with and meet my baby.
That Monday, around 11:00 am or so, I began feeling contractions. They were not painful, it just felt like my belly tightening. It seemed like they were coming pretty frequently so I started timing them. They were lasting about a minute and were about 6-8 minutes apart. I thought those numbers might mean something, so I called the hospital for advice. They said not to worry until they became intense enough that it "took all my concentration to get through". So I hung out at home with Joe [who was working at home] and my sister, Bethany and had lunch.
Around 1:30 they had intensified enough that I had to breathe through them.
They really weren't too bad, though. I took a bath at some point and also used hot wash cloths with lavender oil to spread over my belly during contractions. Probably the worst thing was that I threw up at one point between contractions. I checked in with Joe and told him that we should plan on heading to the hospital as soon as he was done with work at 6:00. I continued to labor at home while watching tv and requesting fresh wash cloths with each wave.
We left our house around 6:20 and got to the hospital close to 7:00. They ushered us into the triage room and began taking all the important vitals. We also got there right at a shift change so we were waiting to find out who our nurse would be. The woman who worked with us was named Tammy, which is my mom's name, so that was a fun and reassuring coincidence. I remember her checking my cervix, telling me I was dilated to a 4 and 100% effaced "We're having a baby tonight", she informed me [as if I didn't know].
It was around 8:00 that we walked across the hall to our delivery room. Because I'd thrown up, they prepared me for an IV to get some fluids in me. Over the next hour I continued to labor while they did all the information-giving stuff. By about 9:00 they'd placed the IV and were reviewing information about epidurals. The contractions were getting pretty intense and I wanted to check out those tubs-my midwife thought I should wait until further into labor since I was "doing so well" at the moment.
Now, I had planned on doing a natural, non-medicated birth, but ultimately, whatever got my baby here safely was fine with me. A little after 9:00 I informed my nurse that I wanted to talk to my midwife about an epidural. My midwife came to talk to me and offered to check my cervix again, just to see while I got a dose of fentanyl [to take the edge off and prep me for an epidural if that's what we ended up doing]. I had dilated to an 8 and my water still hadn't released. My midwife offered to release my water for me and see where we got after that. She informed me that things would definitely intensify, but I figured it might get things moving a bit faster. Umm, I was right. She released my water at 9:45 and almost immediately I felt the urge to push. She told me to wait, and I did with difficulty, until she could check me again. I'd gone to a 9 and then a 10 while she was checking. "Oh, ok, you're good, you can push"
As a quick side-note, probably the scariest thing about the whole experience was the sense that my team wasn't quite ready for me. We were expecting a big baby and they were worried about his shoulders, so they wanted a doctor present, just in case. While I tried to focus on my body, I heard the sound of people scrambling and making quick calls to get someone in the room ASAP. When I'd imagined giving birth, being up on my knees always seemed like the best option, but I was too exhausted and the waves were coming so close together that I never made it there. They coached me to curl up and push [exactly what our hypnobirth instructor warned us of, but oh well]. I had no idea how draining it would be. [My best friend had told me that she had wanted an epidural, but when the time came, she was too exhausted to get in the right position at the side of the bed so she went without.] I just remember the pressure of his head and everything in me needing to push him out, but I just felt completely spent. I looked at my husband and cried "I can't do it, I have nothing left." "You are doing it," he reassured me, "he's so close!" After about 30 minutes of pushing and a small episiotomy [that elicited the loudest scream of the night], August Boyd burst into the world like a lion at 10:15 PM.
The hospital where we delivered is baby-friendly, so August was put straight on my chest and stayed there over the next couple hours while I delivered the placenta, did all the initial post-partum stuff and listened to my nurse tell me how exceptional this birth was. Also, we had to call our family and let everyone know! It's funny because it wasn't until about 8:30 or 9:00 that Joe actually let his parents know we were at the hospital-we were expecting to be there for several hours before August arrived-so they were pretty surprised when we called to let them know that he was here.
Our stay at the hospital was pretty normal I'd say. I got into the shower as soon as we were settled in our room and then settled in. Our days were filled with Mrs. Doubtfire, Kashi Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies with chocolate milk, and, of course, snuggling our little bug. We went home Wednesday around 11:00-we were definitely itching to get out of the hospital!
Becoming a mom is one of the most incredible, life-changing mundane things I've experienced. It seems so strange that there was a time before. It's like he's always been here. And yet, those first weeks are hard. My recovery was pretty quick and I didn't have too hard a time with the baby blues, but the big love that I feel for him now, definitely developed over time. It wasn't an immediate burst that arrived at the same time he did. It's been more of an awakening; a slow bloom of immense love that somehow feels perfectly normal and contained. Reflecting on the experience, I'm reminded of how intense and exhausting it was, but seeing his tiny, perfectly round face in these pictures definitely has me planning for a second and third.

In China, Catholic Churches Flourish, but Under Controls
By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL
Published: October 6, 2002
BEIZHAN, China— Han Tingming, 64, beamed as he regarded the gleaming white church spires that shoot up toward heaven from this village of simple mud-brick homes, towering over the wheat fields.
Built by villagers but paid for largely with donations from Roman Catholics overseas, Beizhan's grand new church has finally replaced a small one destroyed during the anti-religious fervor of the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960's. Now, 1,500 of Beizhan's 5,000 residents fill the wooden pews on a typical Sunday, with up to 3,000 on holy days like Christmas.
''It took us 12 years to get our land back and, even after we had the money, for several years we couldn't get approval to build,'' said Mr. Han, a grizzled farmer, who helped lay the bricks for the church. ''But now look. As I watched it rise up from the ground, words can not describe my feeling. We finally had a home.''
There has been a remarkable renaissance in the construction of Catholic churches and in charitable works in China in recent years. Behind this development is a resurgence of faith, a relaxation of government policy toward officially registered religious groups and -- particularly in poor rural areas -- better access to money from international Catholic organizations.
The changes, however, have heightened tensions between the ''official'' churches, which register with the government and allow the Communist Party to govern church affairs, and the clandestine ''underground'' churches, which cling to the supremacy of the pope at the cost of persecution. Only the official churches are allowed to accept foreign money.
In the last few years, hundreds of Catholic churches have been built in central Hebei Province alone, according to Beifang Jinde, China's first Catholic charity. Through its bilingual Web site and overseas lobbying efforts, the organization has helped secure foreign financing for 100 churches since it was founded in 1999. But that is not all: Beifang Jinde as well as a number of parishes in this area are also busily building schools, clinics and nurseries -- social services that China's lapsed socialist system no longer provides.
It is a striking burst of religious activity in a country where freedom to worship varies significantly from place to place, depending on the often begrudging tolerance of local officials, the negotiating skills of parish priests and their willingness to abide by government rules on registration and practice.
Over time, foreign charities have become increasingly willing to assist government-registered congregations like the one here in Beizhan, and to accept congregants as genuine Catholics, albeit Catholics who are forced to live with compromises.
The revival of religious activity has drawn a number of formerly clandestine Catholics back to open practice at official churches. At the same time, those who remain underground have felt ever more intense suffering.
This summer in the village of Dingzhou, about 100 miles north of here, the police bulldozed a church that was under construction by an unregistered congregation, according to the United States-based Cardinal Kung Foundation, which tracks China's underground Catholics.
Also, the revival of church building and charity work by groups like Beifang Jinde has left many officials anxious about maintaining control.
In September, the police in Bao-ding, also in Hebei, opened a yearlong investigation of local Catholics, both ''official'' and underground, according to documents provided by Li Shixiong, head of the Committee for Investigation of Persecution of Religion in China, which is based in New York. Under special scrutiny are Chinese clerics who have ties with or accept money from abroad, even though such donations to registered groups are legal under a 1999 law.
''Even as this kind of money is coming in, the persecution of underground Catholics is ongoing and getting worse -- all 50 of the underground bishops are now under arrest, under surveillance or on the run,'' said Joseph Kung, head of the Cardinal Kung Foundation. ''You are either a good Catholic or not quite a good Catholic, like the people in the 'patriotic' church.''
Although the Vatican considers the ''patriotic'' church illicit for its rejection of papal authority, it generally recognizes the validity of rites performed in state-sanctioned churches, said the Rev. Drew Christiansen, former director of the Office of International Justice and Peace of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
There are about 12 million practicing Catholics in China today, experts say, a number that by all accounts is growing rapidly. Exact figures are hard to come by, because an estimated 50 percent of these attend underground churches -- generally in places where officials block worship even by state-registered parishes or where church leaders regard any degree of government involvement as sacrilegious.
The divide between the state-run and underground churches began shortly after the Communists came to power in 1949. Ties with the Vatican were severed, and religious activity was subsumed under a ''Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association.'' Catholics who persisted in their allegiance to the pope formed secret ''house churches.'' During the most radical years of Mao's rule, all religious expression, legal or not, came under severe attack.

Apple sees growth in music downloads
During yesterdays' Apple|U2 music event Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs shared some "secretive" sales data reported from the iTunes Music Store. "I've read some articles that have said the online music industry is slowing down. We don't know where that is coming from. We don't normally share our data. We're pretty secretive about it. But I want to share some data with you today so you can see what we see." While showing the data, Jobs continued to say, "I don't know what our competion are doing, but we're seeing some serious growth here and we expect it to continue." He noted that the iTunes Music Store has had 64 percent growth in the last five months. Jobs also mentioned that the iTunes Music Store has 70% of the marketshare and iTunes for Mac and Windows has been downloaded more than 85 million times.

But from what I remember from the event Steve Jobs also said that those figures included the new international iTunes stores. So while overall music downloads increased, perhaps the number of downloads per capita have remained about the same.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on October 28, 2004 at 3:11 AM (CDT)
I was thinking the same thing. But I don't know if the added stores in 3(?) countries gave an additional 64% of the population for downloads. So there is probably some offset due to increased consumer base, but it probably doesn't fully explain the 64% growth in that period.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on October 29, 2004 at 12:37 PM (CDT)
Who care's? The point is, it's increasing every month.

So, when was the 100 millionth song sold? just since may they've sold close to 100 million - #200,000,000 by year's end. That's my bet.

Jaunty - Video card is jacked up!! I have a dell laptop inspiron e1505 with an intel graphics adapter. Everything was working fine UNTIL I added a 2nd monitor (my plasma tv). At that point, something happened to my video card settings. Now my cube does not work and any streaming web videos (youtube) play with time lapses ~ VERY annoying. When my Avant toolbar auto launches on startup, I get an error message that it cannot start because my desktop is not compized. When I go into terminal and type compiz, some test scrolls really fast and then my screen goes white and I can't do anything except hard reboot. Any ideas on how I can fix my issue?

BRAZIL -- South Putnam's boy's golf squad picked up a win Tuesday evening after downing Danville 182-194 at Oak Ridge Golf Club.
With wind and falling temperatures impacting the round. The Eagles picked up their first win of the season behind Alex Kelly's medalist-winning round of 41.
Derek Chestnut chipped in a 44, with Alex Eickhoff and Justin Berry rounding out the scoring with a 48 and 49, respectively.
Austin Query posted a round of 53, with Marcus Skinner carding a 54, Tanner Robinson shooting 55 and Sam Gould rounding out the cards with a 57.
Danville was paced by Zach Gierdts and Payton Perry, who shot 44 and 47, respectively.
South Putnam head coach Brian McClure thought the squad did well in the less-than spring-like conditions.
"It's good to get the first win. There's definitely things we could improve upon, such as three-putts and keeping the ball in play," McClure said.
"You never know what you're going to get weather wise. We've got to be ready to play no matter what the weather is. Everybody plays in the same conditions, so there's no excuse for not playing your own game."
"Overall, we're happy to get that first win. Alex Kelly is playing some great golf. Derek Chestnut played pretty well. He improved from the first meet, which he wasn't too happy with, by seven strokes," McClure added.
Hosting Tri-West Thursday, McClure said that some little things will have to improve if the squad wants to get a second win against the Bruins.
"We'll have to play better Thursday to compete with Tri-West. If we can adjust to the wind and play a little smarter, we'll improve on our score and have a chance to win."
At Oak Ridge
South Putnam 182, Danville 194
Medalist -- Alex Kelly (41)
South Putnam -- Kelly 41, Chestnut 44, Eickhoff 48, Berry 49, Gould 57; Query 53, Skinner 54, Robinson 55
Danville -- Gierdts 44, Perry 47, Kunkle 51, Gerhing 52, Wever 53; Miller 51, Scammahorn 62, England 69

Marcia Ball Gets 'Right Back in It'
Thursday's Pick
- Song: "Right Back in It"
- Artist: Marcia Ball
- CD: Peace, Love & BBQ
- Genre: Blues
Hurricane Katrina has already spawned countless sad and/or inspirational songs — including a few on Peace, Love & BBQ, the new album by Texas-born, Louisiana-bred singer-pianist-composer Marcia Ball. So it's a relief to hear her play "Right Back in It," a number that's more fun than a barrel of funky monkeys. The song kicks off with a jaunty piano riff before Ball launches into a spicy tale of ne'er-do-wells who never quite abandon their sinful ways.
Ball's awesome mélange of keyboard styles sets the tone: Call it the Zydeco boogie-woogie blues. Horns chug faster and faster throughout, and a guitar drops by for a rock 'n' roll interlude. In the end, there's even a moral that applies in this post-Katrina age: "It's the same old world with a different spin / You can't fight it; you know you're right back in it again." Just like Ball and her Louisiana neighbors.

Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. Acquires Bristol Apartments
Resource Real Estate, Inc. ("Resource Real Estate"), announces the purchase of Houston-based Bristol Apartments. Resource Real Estate is a national real estate firm specializing in opportunistic and value-add investing in, and financing of, commercial real estate assets with a particular emphasis on multifamily properties. The property was a Real Estate Owned (REO) asset, meaning it was foreclosed upon and bank owned, and purchased by the Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. for $11.4 million. This represents a 78 percent discount to the property's estimated replacement cost of $53 million. In August 2010, Fannie Mae foreclosed on the property which had an outstanding loan balance of $18.6 million, as reported by Trepp.² Trimont Real Estate Advisors, acting as special servicer on behalf of Fannie Mae, sold the asset.Bristol Apartments includes 856 units, approximately 691,000 rentable square feet and has an occupancy level of approximately 52 percent. Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. plans to invest additional capital to improve the overall condition of the property in order to bring all units to leasable condition, stabilize the occupancy rates and increase the property's value by making it cash flow positive. Exterior painting, landscaping and significant upgrades to the common areas will be made in an effort to enhance the property's appeal and marketability. Property amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center and playground. Resource Real Estate manages 10 other properties in the greater Houston area, totaling over 3,000 units. The acquisition of the Bristol Apartments – a distressed multifamily REO property experiencing operational and capital deficiencies and in need of stabilization – is a good example of the type of properties that the Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT intends to acquire. Bristol Apartments has excellent visibility and proximity to strong employment bases in the area including the William P. Hobby Airport, the Port of Houston, various medical facilities and retail establishments including Wal-Mart, Target and Macy's.

Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA), one of the world's largest aluminum producers, has agreed to delay the closing of its Portovesme aluminum smelter until September. In the meantime, the company will scout for potential suitors for the facility. In January, the company announced plans to cut capacity across geographies as it reels under pressure from falling aluminum prices and rising costs. Alcoa's products are used across industries including mining, refining, smelting and recycling. It competes with companies like ArcelorMittal (NYSE:MT) and US Steel (NYSE:X).
Our price estimate for Alcoa stands at $12, implying a premium of close to 20% to the current market price.

Postpones closing of smelter, but only temporarily
The company has decided to delay the closing of its Portovesme aluminum smelter until September after it struck an agreement with labor unions and Italy's Ministry of Economic Development. In the meantime, the company will keep looking for a buyer for the plant. Under the terms of the agreement, the closing process will begin in September if no prospective buyer signs a letter of intent by the end of August. In the event that a letter of intent is signed but the sale has yet to be finalized by the end of October, the company will begin the process of closing the plant in November. [1] In March, Reuters reported that three buyers had expressed interest in the unit. Earlier, there were reports that Glencore International PLC was showing interest in the smelter.
In January, Alcoa announced its plans to shut the smelter, which produces about 150,000 metric tons of aluminum annually. Unfavorable energy costs, rising raw material costs and declining aluminum prices have prompted the company to announce a cut in its aluminum smelting capacity of 12%.

Democratic Race Turns Negative As Sanders And Clinton Spar Over Experience By Asma Khalid • Apr 7, 2016 The race for the Democratic nomination had been fairly polite compared with the spouse-sparring and name-calling across the aisle, but it looks like those polite days are over.

U.S. Cities Facing Issues Over Pension Packages By Andy Uhler • Apr 7, 2016 Andy Uhler A task force aimed at preventing Philadelphia from going bankrupt has urged the city's mayor to figure out how to deal with its almost $6 billion pension deficit.

Puerto Rico Passes Law That Freezes The Island's Debt Payments By Greg Allen • Apr 6, 2016 Puerto Rico's governor has signed a bill that puts the island's debt payments on hold until January 2017. Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla says the island's first priority is covering payments for essential services.

A group of hedge funds went to court to block public agencies from withdrawing funds from the bank. Within hours, the Legislature moved to pass the debt moratorium by approving the measure.

Trump's Plan To 'Make Mexico Pay' For The Wall By Don Gonyea • Apr 5, 2016 After "Make America Great Again," it is perhaps the most common refrain of the Donald Trump campaign. "I will build a wall!" And, every time, it's followed by an ironclad guarantee from the candidate: "And I will make Mexico pay for it." When asked how, Trump has always been short on details. He cites leverage the U.S. has over Mexico, which needs access to the U.S. market. He has also suggested steep tariffs on Mexican-made goods.

After Fleeing The Taliban, An Afghan Reinvents Himself In Sweden By Eleanor Beardsley • Apr 5, 2016 Sweden has taken in more asylum seekers per capita than any other European country — 160,000 last year alone. Refugees are now part of the landscape, even in small towns. And nearly everybody, not just those working with aid groups, is encountering the newcomers. In the southern town of Ronneby, Dagmar Nordberg is giving Swedish lessons to Waliullah Hafiz, who goes by Wali, at her kitchen table.

It is aimed at stopping the flood of people seeking asylum in Europe.

Massive Document Leak Reveals Offshore Accounts Of World Leaders By editor • Apr 3, 2016 Associates of President Vladimir Putin of Russia have channeled as much as $2 billion through offshore accounts, banks and shadow companies, according to a massive leak of documents from a Panamanian law firm.

At Nuclear Summit, Many Leaders But No Breakthroughs By David Welna • Apr 1, 2016 More than 50 world leaders are attending a nuclear security summit in Washington this week. But Vladimir Putin is a no-show. And, as if on cue, North Korea fired a ballistic missile on Friday. These biannual nuclear summits, aimed at locking down fissile material worldwide that could be used for doomsday weapons, were proposed by President Obama back in 2009, barely two months into his presidency. "We must insure that terrorists never acquire a nuclear weapon," he declared, calling such a scenario "the most immediate and extreme threat to global security."

The MrxSMB error you mention is about a network card, this could mean the NIC is faulty? (http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/ArticleID/27037/27037.html).
Post the full event log message and we'll take a look!

Chilkoot Campground
Anyone can book a room in a fancy hotel and try to relax, but unless you get away from the television, the computer and the telephone, you'll never fully unwind. The best way to really restore yourself is to get out of the city and get back to nature. Stop dreaming about falling asleep under the stars and waking up with the sun - get out there and do it.
Before you go to Chilkoot Campground, just be sure to check the local fire danger levels (so you'll know whether you'll be able to roast marshmallows or not) and any other restrictions you'll need to be aware of in the area. Leave nature as you found it, and you'll find it that way the next time you need a break.
Remember that the best campgrounds and cabins fill up quickly, so it's never too early to check the availability at Chilkoot Campground in California. Your best bet is to book your trip right away.
