Pain is your body's way of telling you to take action. Consider the pain you feel when you burn yourself. The pain tells you to take your hand away from the flame! Similarly, when you sustain an injury, pain might influence you to apply ice or to get an X-ray.
Childbirth pain gives you a message: the time of birth is near. It encourages you to take action: to choose a safe place to give birth, gather your support people, and bring your baby into the world.
Yet childbirth pain is very different from most other types of pain.
Recognizing the powerful effect that language can play on our perception, some childbirth experts suggest renaming childbirth pain to provide a positive association related to the work being done by the body, rather than the negative association that accompanies the word pain. One noted midwife, Ina Mae Gaskins, uses the term "rushes," and in HypnoBirthing® classes, women are encouraged to talk about "surges" instead of contraction pain.
Learning to cope with pain is not a new concept for most women. Everyone has experienced pain, and most of us already have identified measures that help. Here are some ideas that may help with childbirth.
Give yourself permission to have your own experience with, and response to, the pain associated with childbirth. The best preparation is to remain open and receptive to the experience, as it is impossible to predict exactly what your labor will be like.
There are three basic types of pain in childbirth. Understanding what is causing pain during the different parts of labor helps you identify the work that your body is doing. Different techniques may be necessary to cope with these different sensations.
In the 1920s, Grantley Dick-Read described what has become known as the "Fear-Tension-Pain" cycle. He suggested that fear causes a woman to become tense, and that tension increases pain. The increased pain, in turn, increases fear, and the cycle repeats.
Dick-Read suggested interrupting this cycle in two ways:
Most modern childbirth preparation methods have evolved from this theory.
There are many things you can do to minimize the amount of pain from contractions and to cope with the pain you do feel.
Several weeks of practice will help these techniques become ingrained habits and easier to use during times of stress or pain. See the Mind Body Therapies [1] topic for an explanation of several relaxation techniques. .
If you find that your contractions are particularly painful in your back, this can be a signal that your baby is facing your front, or "sunny-side up," also called a posterior position. For some babies, this is the way they fit best through the bones of the pelvis, but most babies fit better if they are facing your back, called the anterior position.
If you experience back pain or if your midwife, doctor or labor nurse tells you that they think the baby is in a posterior position, use this pain as a message, and try some forward leaning positions that might encourage your baby to turn. You may try lying on your side, tipped far over almost onto your stomach. Or try spending time resting on your knees and forearms, or standing and bending forward at the waist. These positions also let your partner apply firm counter-pressure to your back or hips, which may greatly help alleviate the back pain. Ice packs or warm packs applied to your back may also help. You can combine therapies, by using these forward leaning positions in the shower or tub. Your midwife or doctor could also help alleviate back pain by the use of sterile water papules, which are small injections of water just beneath the skin in your low back.
The books listed below under Additional Readings describe these and many other techniques for coping well with childbirth. Another resource is easily available on the web: Penny Simkin is a physical therapist and childbirth expert who has written several books and journal articles. She has also published a downloadable pamphlet Comfort in Labor [7]. When you reach the website, it will ask you to register, which is free.
Acupressure is another method of pain reduction some women have used very effectively during labor. A variety of pressure points may be used, and if you are interested in these techniques, you should do some advanced planning. While you or your partner may do them during labor, you might want to visit an acupressure practitioner with your partner before labor begins to make sure you understand the technique. An excellent resource for using acupressure in labor can be found in the web publication Natural Pain Relief Techniques for Childbirth Using Acupressure [8], by acupuncturist Debra Betts.
Other alternatives for reducing pain include the use of a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation unit or TENS unit. This is a device with small electrodes that you place on your skin, and then use to deliver electrical impulses during your contractions. You can rent one of these units ahead of time. Ask your provider for a referral to a physical therapist or chiropractor who can help you obtain one and show you how to use it.
Other complementary therapies such as Reiki [9], Healing Touch, or Reflexology [10] may also be used during labor. You may include a practitioner of one of these methods on your birth team, or, if you have planned in advance, you may learn techniques such as Reiki yourself.
Finally, consider the addition of a doula to your support team. A doula is a person who provides continuous support to a woman in labor. She may be certified through a doula training organization and has studied a variety of techniques for coping with labor. She remains with you throughout labor, and can help you and your partner use the right technique at the right time during labor. The use of a doula has been consistently shown to be associated with shorter labors, less use of pain medication, and fewer cesarean sections. The topic How Can I Arrange the Best Birth Support has additional information about how to find a doula.
As your labor progresses, and your baby moves further down in the pelvis, your feelings of pressure may increase. Eventually, this feeling of pressure will change, and you may begin to feel a need to push or bear down. For some women, this feeling is subtle, for others, it is overwhelming. Again this feeling is a signal or message, telling you that it may be time to begin pushing during your contractions, to help bring your baby down further. Some women feel this phase of labor is a relief from the pain of labor contractions, as they can start responding to the contractions by bearing down, helping with the downward movement of the baby.
Generally, you may follow your body's messages and push as you feel comfortable. You may do this in a variety of positions; view examples of effective birthing positions. Your midwife, doctor, or labor nurse may help give you guidance to push effectively.
Finally, as your baby is being born, you may feel intense burning as the baby comes out. While this is normal, and signals that your vagina and skin are stretching to make room for the baby, many women feel that they are tearing. Using warm wet compresses on your perineum (the skin between your vagina and anus) as you push may help guide you in knowing where to push and can alleviate some of the pain with crowning.
Your midwife or doctor can provide verbal guidance as you to push gently as the head is being born (called crowning) to help minimize any tears. The good news about this burning is that it is short lived, lasting only a few contractions at most.
Especially for first time mothers, doing perineal massage (massage of the skin around the back of the vagina) during pregnancy can help prevent tears, and give you some feeling of what this stretching sensation feels like. You can read about performing perineal massage [11] and see some pictures at the University of Michigan's School of Nursing website. Either you or your partner may perform the massage.
In United States hospitals, pain management is usually a nursing performance goal, and nurses in hospitals are expected to assess and treat pain. Hospital funding from sources such as Medicare is dependent on hospitals meeting pain management requirements.
Given this, you may be asked to "rate" your pain on a scale and offered medication if your pain is above a certain level. These measures help the hospital staff to not only treat pain, but also to meet the requirements of their review committees.
Your labor nurses might suggest medication or epidurals as measures to help cope with labor pain. Because these options are popular among laboring women, your nurses might have little experience with some holistic measures for coping with labor. On the other hand, your nurses might have a wealth of experience with alternative methods for helping women with labor.
You can help your labor nurse and other hospital staff by:
You can also ask your nurses for their help in maximizing your freedom of movement and your ability to choose comfortable positions. Some hospital practices, such as continuous fetal monitoring or IVs can limit your activity. You can ask for intermittent monitoring or a saline lock instead of a continuous IV. If continuous monitoring becomes necessary, it does not mean you must stay in bed. You can ask to have rocking chairs and birthing balls moved close to the monitor, or to use telemetry monitoring if you wish to get into a tub or shower or walk.
Not every technique will work for every woman, and each labor is unique. Adopting a holistic approach to childbirth, by the very definition of the word "whole," may also mean considering the use of pain medication, or epidural or intrathecal (spinal) anesthesia.
Even if you don't think you will use them, ask your midwife or doctor what pain relief methods they commonly use, so that you can read about their benefits and risks before labor begins. Be sure to review the topics Why Should I Consider Holistic Childbirth [12] and What Factors Influence the Natural Progression of Childbirth [13], as they contain information about the potential risks and benefits of pain medications and epidural anesthesia. If you begin to think about using medication during labor, keep the following guidelines in mind.

Mittelschmerz is one-sided, lower abdominal pain in women. It occurs at or around the time of an egg is released from the ovaries (ovulation).
Ovulation pain; Midcycle pain
About 1 in 5 women have pain around the time of ovulation. This is called mittelschmerz. The pain may occur just before, during, or after ovulation.
This pain can be explained in several ways. Just before to ovulation, the growth of the follicle where the egg develops may stretch the surface of the ovary. This can cause pain. At the time of ovulation, fluid or blood is released from the ruptured egg follicle. This may irritate lining of the abdomen.
Mittelschmerz may be felt on one side of the body in one month and then switch to the other side in the next month. It may also occur on the same side for many months in a row.
Symptoms include lower-abdominal pain that:
A pelvic exam shows no problems. Other tests (such as an abdominal ultrasound or transvaginal pelvic ultrasound) may be done to look for other causes of ovarian or pelvic pain. These tests may be done if the pain is ongoing.
Most of the time treatment is not needed. Pain relievers may be needed if the pain is intense or lasts a long time.
Mittelschmerz can be painful, but it is not harmful. It is not a sign of disease. It may help women be aware of the time in the menstrual cycle when the egg is released.
Most of the time there are no complications.
Call your health care provider if:
Birth control pills can be taken to prevent ovulation. This can help reduce pain that is linked to ovulation.

This is my third baby, he will be 7-weeks tomorrow. I nursed my other two to 4 years and 3 years, 7 months, so I am not exactly new to breastfeeding. But this guy is different and he can make breastfeeding difficult.
In the early days I though he was not opening his mouth wide enough. That may still be the case occasionally, but I am not totally sure what his deal is. If the nipple is not put exactly where he needs it, he will not latch. It's like he needs it just on the right spot on his tongue or his palete or he doesn't sense it. This makes breastfeeding a fight,a lot of the time.
Also, if the nipple or his mouth gets too wet, he loses the nipple, and we have to dry off and start again. Both of these issues make nursing in the dark very hard, so often I have to turn on a light in the middle of the night.
Another thing is it seems sometimes he may want to comfort nurse, but he gets inundated with milk and starts to get mad, pulling off, latching on (or trying), etc. Every few days I have sore nipples again, which could be freom bad positioning or him nursing more frequently, I don't really know.
His weight gain and output is fine. I imagine these are normal things moms deal with, but I have never dealt with them before, and within my realm of nursing experience, they are foreign to me. It would just help to hear from those who have been there, done that, so I know this too shall pass.

Close call …
I was biking from home to Brother Juniper's this morning to have lunch with a friend. I had previously biked to Empire Hair Studio for a much-needed shearing, so my legs were good and warmed up, despite the chilly temperatures today. It was a good ride east on Southern Avenue, and I rested for a moment at the intersection of Southern and Highland, waiting for the light to turn green. As it did, I pedaled through the intersection, heading north on Highland for one block to then turn right on Walker St.
Just as I was turning right, an SUV decided to turn left onto Walker out of the Domino's Pizza parking lot. Apparently the driver didn't see me, or just decided to ignore me. As we both attempted to enter Walker at the same time, I had to slam on the brakes. (The driver of the SUV made no similar attempt at stopping.) My rear wheel slid out to the left as I went into a skid. Fortunately, I managed to get my right foot on the ground before I tipped over. After a couple of awkward hop-steps, I stopped, upright, slightly shaken, but none the worse for wear.
This was my first true close call since I started biking almost five years ago. In and of itself, that's pretty miraculous. I've heard some harrowing stories of life on the road from cyclists and non-cyclists alike. I do tend to be fairly defensive when I ride, stopping at traffic signals, not cutting between lanes full of cars, and so on. But all the courtesy and mindfulness will only get you so far. All it takes is one careless driver and you are on the ground.
I will note that I signaled my turn onto Walker for a good 3-5 seconds before I turned, pretty much the entire length of Highland north of Southern. Apparently my extended right arm was unnoticed or ignored. I don't know. I'm just glad I was able to stop in time, and that the SUV driver didn't decide to take the lane a few seconds after I did. That could have been ugly.
As it happened, Cort from The Peddler and Fix Memphis was walking west on Walker – say that five times fast – just as I nearly ate asphalt. So at least I got to impress a fellow cyclist with my mad skidding skills.
So that's my first close call story. Please share yours in the comments. I'd love to read them. Also, be safe out there, and beware of SUVs bearing pizza. (Seriously, did it have to be an SUV? Did I really need another reason to not trust them?)

Hi! I've got a bunch that I don't think have names. At least, I can't seem to find them on the list. There's a bunch, so I apologize in advance, but I was working on a list of ships that I support and found a bunch with no names! A lot of them have to do with XY, too, which explains that.

2. Lucas & either protagonist from XY
3. Brendan & either protagonist from XY
4. Leaf & Ethan
5. Lyra & Wally
6. Lunick & Kellyn
7. Prof. Rowan & Prof. Birch

10. Red, Ethan, Brendan, Lucas, Hilbert, Nate & the boy from XY (yes, all 7 in one!)
11. Cedric Juniper & Prof. Oak
12. Blaine & Kurt
I think that's all for now. If I think of more, I'll edit the post.

So as I'm informed, a few submissions weren't handled proper (the suggestion and submission of the name for Ash/Sapphire [Aptitudeshipping] is the only one that comes to mind, off-hand), so, if your pairing with its name isn't listed here, you potentially gone done something wrong and you should probably resubmit it. I'm not chasing people down, otherwise.
Again, if your pairing isn't in this list, resubmit it. If you are aware of someone who did it wrong, go poke them if you feel inclined.AnimosityShipping - Banette & Ninetales

Opossum afoot
February 26, 2014 —
As winter's grip begins to loosen, wildlife start to emerge and our encounters with them increase. Such was the case for a small opossum that appeared at my door one recent evening as it scrounged for sustenance.
Well adapted in terms of diet, opossums are omnivores and enjoy a variety of foods such as fruits, seeds, meat, eggs, insects and carrion. Although they often den in hollow trees, logs or brush piles, opossums are also well adapted to human environments and will sometimes seek shelter in culverts and beneath outbuildings.
The cat-sized mammals are marsupials, whose young are born premature and must complete development in a fur-lined pouch on the belly of the female. They are so tiny at birth that an entire litter can fit in a teaspoon. Following birth, the blind newborns crawl up their mother's belly and enter her marsupial pouch where they will continue to develop for about two months. When they emerge, they may wrap their own tails around their mother's tail to remain in her company.
Opossums sport scaly tails similar to those on rats, have long pointy faces, thin fur and five toes on each foot. When threatened, this unique animal may "play opossum," falling down and lying still as if dead. Alternatively, it may choose to threaten a predator by growling and even biting. Keep watch along regional roads where the temptation of carrion puts the opossum at heightened risk.

Beer pong tables can go back up in New Mexico bars, state officials said, so long as pride's the only thing on the line.
New Mexico Alcohol and Gaming Director Gary Tomada said Monday his department has reviewed the game to see where it fits in with establishments licensed to serve alcohol.
"It's against the law for (liquor) licensees to allow games or contests that involve drinking alcohol beverages or award alcohol beverages as prizes," Tomada said, "and we can't have any semblance of gambling. If those (rules) are observed … they can play all they want."
Organized beer pong tournaments at Kelley's Bar & Grill in Clovis were halted Thursday when the state's Special Investigations Division sought a review of the game.
Clovis promoter Elliott Fite said in light of the state's position, Thursday night games will resume at Kelley's Bar & Grill.
However, he is not convinced the ruling is sound, and noted that his group consulted an attorney when they created the tournaments.
"I don't understand," Fite said Monday. "It almost makes me question if (Tomada) was misinterpreting how we were running the event."
A staff member who answered the phone Monday afternoon at Kelley's said the staff was not yet aware of any ruling, and the business was still operating under the premise that tournaments are on hold.
In the near future, Tomada said his department plans to publish guidelines specific to beer pong for licensees, but was not clear on whether it was being defined as a game of chance or skill.
Fite thinks the latter, explaining that beer pong requires skill, hand-eye coordination, motor skills and practice. He likened the game to darts or golf, games that are often played as part of sanctioned tournaments with cash prizes.
Prior to last week, the tournaments at Kelley's featured a $10 entry fee for a two-person team, with prize money drawn from entry fees divided between the top two finishers in a double-elimination bracket.
Fite said at the tournaments, game cups are filled with water and alcohol is never given as a prize — and money is handled by tournament organizers, with no player-to-player money exchanges.
"I don't really blame anybody (for the confusion)," Fite said, "just due to the fact that the game is still in its infancy."
Fite said his group started informally about three years ago but, because of growing interest, started hosting organized tournaments and networked as a league with other players nationwide.
For about a year, the tournaments have been held at Kelley's and, Fite said, about a dozen of the more serious players have played at tournaments in Las Vegas, Nev.
Fast facts
The game requires at least two players, a table, cups and ping-pong balls. Cups, which are usually filled with either water or beer, are placed on opposite sides of the table. The goal is to eliminate the opponent's cups by landing a ball in the cups, through either a direct toss or bounce.

Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame..

Skip to comments.5 Ways Modern Men Are Trained to Hate Women [FreeRepublic "mentioned"]
Posted on 03/27/2012 9:41:48 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows
click here to read article
Oh sheese what did we do now?
David got it Wong.
Cracked is actually pretty good, just a liberal dunce writing an article
Sometimes Cracked is pretty good but that was one of the most retarded articles I've ever read.
The author's a moron.
I'm old school.
I prefer the term "Strumpet" or "Trollop".
She is NOT a "girl" she is a full-grown, in the public eye, woman.
I went to the link, then decided it just wasn't worth the read!
I believe that that was Laz's post about David Brock.
P.S. Laz, you got a mention at one the linked articles.
From Cracked.
How about "tart".
of course Laz got mentioned. Who else but Laz has such an elegant way of putting things?
Yeah well, I'm sure Cracked (like Bill Maher, David Letterman, Ed Schultz, etc) has never said anything that could be considered outrageous or mean.
Now why don't you shut up and go pay your taxes? Your government is broke. :)
Wong has actually written some excellent articles - just not this one.
After that intro I only skimmed it. I just figured that my FRiends should know that their efforts are appreciated.
Just discovered this vikingkitties.blogspot.com thing.
Looks like Clown Posse reconstituted.
Some of you have apparently made the hit parade!
I am sorry but this is funny!
I swear that is an official photo like the one at the cracked site. Click on his hypertext byline if you don't believe me!
" I prefer the term "Strumpet" or "Trollop"
I've heard of "trollop" but "strumpet" is a new one to me. I like "brazen hussy".
Our own Laz! I'm so proud of him!!
Aside from all the false assumptions on display in this pathetic piece of psycho-dreck, where was Mr. Wong when conservative women were/are being called vile names on a daily basis by an assortment of amoebae like Bill Maher and others? No comments about that from Wong I would bet. Sandra Fluke announces in front of bunch of Dem congresscritters that she has sex so often, she's running out of money for birth control devices. And could someone else please pay for her birth control. Rush draws the obvious conclusion and is excoriated for stating it publicly.And by extension, all males (preferably conservative males) are all foul-mouthed, sexist pigs. Mr. Wong is just another metrosexual, liberal-in-a-bubble loser who thinks he knows how the world works. He doesn't.
To be fair, I think Laz called in sick that day and we weren't really on our game (being down a man and all).
"No comments about that from Wong I would bet. Sandra Fluke announces in front of bunch of Dem congresscritters that she has sex so often, shes running out of money for birth control devices. And could someone else please pay for her birth control. "
Which is why I said she should just get a spray-in Rhino lining for her vagina to act as a female condom. http://www.rhinolinings.com/ If she is having that much sex she needs something very hard core.
You know what else I think? I think the Women FReepers were harder on Fluke than the male ones.
He's our Bard.
Perhaps you should send Mr Wong a thank-you note.
Did they mention my "Mental From Frothy Mixture" comment about David Brock?
What's not to believe?
I want the d*** jokes back!
Slings we all should but I fear the gratitude would not be forthcoming.
Do two Wongs make a Jeremiah Wright?
This tizzy appears to be Sandra-Fluke-related only.
Tsk tsk. Where has civility gone?
Just print it here - we know he reads FR, and he probably googles his name.
She still isn't old enough to be president (if we are even bothering with the Constitutional requirements these days).
No real man hates women....
Do you want to talk about The Thousand Ways Modern Women Are Taught to Hate Men? With the full support of the liberal Establishment? And we're supposed to feel bad when we defend ourselves against that self-propelled vagina?
Troll Kitteh is trolling.
We have taught our 10 year old son that there are "hoochies, floozies, harpies, and nice girls".
You are so correct Slings..
So to David Wong of Cracked...
Our way of saying Danke Schoen!
Hey, he`s creative.
A liberal can make a pretty good living just writing about material culled from FR.
It was a pun.
No, no, no, NOT a pun. Wot's that thing that goes the same backwards as forwards???
A *palindrome*.
Oh, and Jason Pargin? I finally got civility and am asking people to refrain from taunting David Brock. Come see.
Good point. That's my very own copywrited material. Dude didn't excerpt. Gonna have to sue.
And some do.

Motivational Speaking
Round two of the Cubs/Cardinals rivalry kicked off Friday night and once again the game wobbled in the unsteady hands of each club's respective bullpens.
Ryan Franklin was a success.
Carlos Marmol was not.
Here's why:
If you don't know by now, Albert Pujols is a baseball god. He hits for average. He hits for power. He steals bases. He motivates his teammates. I would rather donate half my salary to the Republican Party, sit on Rush Limbaugh's lap and make out with Ann Coulter while listening to the entire Barry Manilow catalogue than piss off Pujols.
No wonder Franklin got the job done.
As for Marmol, well, can anyone blame him for yet another failure? His manager hates him. He has no clearly defined role on the team. And he just found out that General Motors is pulling the plug on the Pontiac line!
Life just ain't fair; I couldn't be happier.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
(*Base images courtesy of the Associated Press)
21 Comments
Marmol shouldn't feel too bad since Piniella has that speech as a template for every pitcher he deals with from Randy Johnson to the likes of Bartolome Fortunato and everyone in between.
Thank you, Prince, for bringing Bartolome back. Thought I'd never hear that name again.
Tell ya' what, I LOVED his arm and stuff; plus he was mean; it just didn't work out with him.
Prince — I see Fortunato in my mind's eye every time I hear Scott Kazmir's name.
Julia — You betchya.
I wouldn't want to piss Albert off either. Definitely not a good life skill. The Astros tried and look at them now. Liking S Club however is a very good life skill. So you are very welcome.
Lissi — Overnight I became their biggest fan.
How can you not love Albert? 🙂 I think the "tee hee" part of that picture made me laugh more than the rest of it. But as a whole it was awesome. My friend now wants to make that picture her Facebook profile pic! Hahaha! Awesomeness at its finest.
Jen — That "tee hee" was a direct quote from Yadi😉
I don't know which would be a bigger sacrifice – sitting on Rush's lap or kissing Ann Coulter, not to mention listening to Manilow. You touched 'em all, Jeff.
Pujols is one of those rare and special players we don't see very often. He makes the players on his team better. Look at Ludwick's stats last year with Pujols out of the lineup. It's a big difference. Pujols is to the Cardinals as Jordan was to the Bulls.
This coming from a Cubs fan.
Jason — LOL. Truer words have been spoken not.
Jane — I always reach for the fences. You know this😉
Ron — That grand slam he hit a little while ago is testament to his greatness… and like Karros said, everyone in the lineup has produced today. He's the catalyst. No doubt.
I agree with Julia completely. Pujols is amazing. Might even be best in majors. Him or Han Ram.
Also check out my daily trivia on my blog.
I'm going for Pujols too. Although when ESPN had updates on last night during the draft, my friend Matt's friend Ian giggled everytime they mentioned him. "Poo holes. Hehehe". Yeah, as you can tell, he's a J-E-T-S fan. No intelligence. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
Metsgo — Han Ram ain't even close to AP. Not yet. Not even close.
Ash — That joke is so old now I'm surprised people find it remotely funny at this point.
Let me get this straight, you would rather "donate half [your] salary to the Republican Party, sit on Rush Limbaugh's lap and make out with Ann Coulter while listening to the entire Barry Manilow catalogue than piss off Pujols"… Well… if that isn't devotion, I don't know what is. And making out with Ann Coulter… god it's like the horrid image is now burned into my brain. Thanks Jeff, thanks for that one.
I always wondered what they talk about on the mound…thanks for clearing that up :O) Ha!!
Emily — I aim to please… or force you to think about things you don't want to… in any case, I got your attention😉
Jenn — A lot of research went into this post. For sure.
Albert Pujols is the greatest ball player ever. Period. He hits for power and never gives up on the game. The Cardinals are lucky to have a guyy like that on the team- one that doesn't use illegal drugs and is trustworthy, even now when baseball is in its "dark days", if you know what I mean.
Nice article, by the way

Fact-Free Crusades
Amid all the heated, emotional advocacy of gun control, have you ever heard even one person present convincing hard evidence that tighter gun control laws have in fact reduced murders?
Think about all the states, communities within states, as well as foreign countries, that have either tight gun control laws or loose or non-existent gun control laws. With so many variations and so many sources of evidence available, surely there would be some compelling evidence somewhere if tighter gun control laws actually reduced the murder rate.
And if tighter gun control laws don't actually reduce the murder rate, then why are we being stampeded toward such laws after every shooting that gets media attention?
Have the media outlets that you follow ever even mentioned that some studies have produced evidence that murder rates tend to be higher in places with tight gun control laws?
The dirty little secret is that gun control laws do not actually control guns. They disarm law-abiding citizens, making them more vulnerable to criminals, who remain armed in disregard of such laws.
In England, armed crimes skyrocketed as legal gun ownership almost vanished under increasingly severe gun control laws in the late 20th century. (See the book "Guns and Violence" by Joyce Lee Malcolm). But gun control has become one of those fact-free crusades, based on assumptions, emotions and rhetoric.
What almost no one talks about is that guns are used to defend lives as well as to take lives. In fact, many of the horrific killings that we see in the media were brought to an end when someone else with a gun showed up and put a stop to the slaughter.
The Cato Institute estimates upwards of 100,000 defensive uses of guns per year. Preventing law-abiding citizens from defending themselves can cost far more lives than are lost in the shooting episodes that the media publicize. The lives saved by guns are no less precious, just because the media pay no attention to them.
Many people who have never fired a gun in their lives, and never faced life-threatening dangers, nevertheless feel qualified to impose legal restrictions that can be fatal to others. And politicians eager to "do something" that gets them publicity know that the votes of the ignorant and the gullible are still votes.
Virtually nothing that is being proposed in current gun control legislation is likely to reduce murder rates.
Restricting the magazine capacity available to law-abiding citizens will not restrict the magazine capacity of people who are not law-abiding citizens. Such restrictions just mean that the law-abiding citizen is likely to run out of ammunition first.
Someone would have to be an incredible sharpshooter to fend off three home invaders with just seven shots at moving targets. But seven is the magic number of bullets allowed in a magazine under New York State's new gun control laws.
People who support such laws seem to blithely assume that they are limiting the damage that can be done by criminals or the mentally ill — as if criminals or mad men care about such laws.
Banning so-called "assault weapons" is a farce, as well as a fraud, because there is no concrete definition of an assault weapon. That is why so many guns have to be specified by name in such bans — and the ones specified to be banned are typically no more dangerous than others that are not specified.
Some people may think that "assault weapons" means automatic weapons. But automatic weapons were banned decades ago. Banning ugly-looking "assault weapons" may have aesthetic benefits, but it does not reduce the dangers to human life in the slightest. You are just as dead when killed by a very plain-looking gun.
One of the dangerous inconsistencies of many, if not most, gun control crusaders is that those who are most zealous to get guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens are often not nearly as concerned about keeping violent criminals behind bars.
Leniency toward criminals has long been part of the pattern of gun control zealots on both sides of the Atlantic. When the insatiable desire to crack down on law-abiding citizens with guns is combined with an attitude of leniency toward criminals, it can hardly be surprising when tighter gun control laws are accompanied by rising rates of crime, including murders.

Reader sees turning point coming for USA
Like a runaway train, the socalled "gay marriage" agenda seems to be pressing forward, with most Americans now in support of this act which the Bible calls behavior which is an abomination.
What most fail to realize is the fact that with such "rights" first come personal responsibilities. One article I recently read stated that the General Election that took place last year, and more directly the president calling for his support of what God clearly condemns, has made a great shift in public opinion.
For a civil society to be healthy it must be morally strong. A society is strong when it follows Biblical precepts which were also present at our nation's founding. How soon we forget.
The Supreme Court, under public pressure and by action from high-level politicians both nationally and locally, along with a growing number of "church denominations" and "clergy," will either decide this issue for all states or they will force it back to the states for them to decide.
Personally, for those of us who have fought hard against this issue for years, which God has and will judge, we are now viewed as "right-wing fanatics" and out of step with "change we can believe in." Unless something begins to change within the hearts and minds of the people, we have lost this battle. But believe me, God will not be mocked. He will have the last word on the matter, and actually already has.
America as we knew it is no more, and is in for disaster. This is the beginning of the end for America.
Same-sex unions, be it by way of civil unions or "marriages," is a blatant sin which will leave a lasting scar on this nation like no other ever has.

UMES' research office reports 3,967 undergraduates and 573 graduate students are enrolled at the historically black institution six weeks after classes began in late August.
This fall's record-breaking total includes 64 doctor of pharmacy candidates in the inaugural class of the university's newest academic program. By the fall 2012, UMES' pharmacy school expects to be training 180 students spread across three classes.
"It is encouraging to see enrollment growth at UMES," university President Thelma B. Thompson said. "This improvement is indicative of our collective effort and excellence in program offerings."
When Thompson became UMES' 13th president in 2002, enrollment stood at 3,644 students. It has grown nearly 25 percent during her eight years at the helm.
In 1981, UMES' enrollment was approximately 1,000 students.
Today, UMES is recognized by its peers as one of the nation's upper-tier historically black institutions, according to an annual survey by U.S. News & World Report.

Hello everyone.
I've been reading many threads concerning low milk supply & how to increase it. So i thought to share my personal tips that i found very effective, might be help for anyone around here. DS is my third child & first BFing experience, couldn't BF first two because of some reasons.....
Here we go:
1- Eating banana with a very warm glass of milk before bed.
2- A mixcher of nuts & semolina made with our traditional method, its called "Panjeeri". Very nutritious indeed --- I can post the recipe if anyone interested?
3- Taking a quick hot shower before bed realy helped at night & in the morning for day time.
4- Plenty of fluids.
5- Taking prenatal vitamins does make a big difference for me.
anyone else would like to share?

There are literally thousands of ways to raise money for an organization or charity. However, it seems like the same old tried-and-true fundraising methods are used over and over again. There's the run/walk-a-thon, the pie/hot dog/rutabaga eating contest and, of course, the ever popular car wash.
All great ideas, to be sure, but they are so overdone that it becomes hard to attract new people to the charity, especially if it's an annual event. "Familiarity breeds contempt, while rarity wins admiration," to quote the Roman philosopher Apuleius (pretty highbrow, eh?).
Now, it would be easy to rattle off a bunch of other cliches here that fit this situation, like, "think outside the box," and, "you're only limited by your imagination." It would be easier, however, to simply tell you to read this article and, if you're a brave soul, give one or two or, heck, all of them a try for your next breast cancer awareness fundraiser.
After all, you do want people to be aware of your "awareness" event, don't you?
No. 5: Pet racing
It's a numbers game, fundraising. The amount of money you raise is directly proportional to the amount of people you get to show up at the event.
With that in mind, here's why holding pet races at your next breast cancer awareness fundraiser is as close to a guaranteed money maker as you're going to find.
According to the American Pet Products Association's 2011-2012 National Pet Owners Survey, approximately 78.2 million Americans owned dogs and about 86.4 million were cat owners. Even factoring some crossover between dog and cat owners, that represents nearly half the entire population of the United States. You don't have to be Stephen Hawking to crunch those numbers.
The idea is simple, really. You just have people pay an entry fee to race their pet against the same or similar animals. Pet races give pet owners a chance to not only show off their bosom buddy, but also to prove to the world their awesomeness.
If you think that idea is smashing, wait for our next suggestion ...
No. 4: Smash for cash
The "Smash for Cash" idea is based on the philosophy of KISS, not as a reference to the iconic (makeup or sans makeup) rock band, but as an acronym for Keep It Simple Stupid.
"Smash for Cash" could not be simpler. It's easy to organize, easy to manage and easy to run. It's an obvious, unabashed appeal the caveman/cavewoman in all of us. Think of it this way: (caveperson voice) "Me smash car! Me smash car good!"
All you have to do is get yourself an absolute, full-on piece-of-junk car (which you can likely buy from a junkyard for a couple hundred bucks or less, or possibly even get a local business to donate one); then get yourself a sledgehammer or similar weapon of mass destruction; and finally give anyone who pays the set price five cathartic, stress-releasing swings at your already junked car.
Now all you have to do is count the money.
Or you could start collecting your junk ...
No. 3: Infant/toddler rummage sale
We humans like to think of ourselves as unique, one-of-a-kind individuals, like snowflakes or grains of sand. And while this might be true in many ways, it is also true that we all share a number of the same or at least very similar traits. One of these is that, with very few exceptions, we all grow up, literally and figuratively.
So, inevitably, anyone who has had a child or children will have clothes, toys and God knows what else that your not-so-little-anymore ones will have outgrown.
Hold an infant and toddlers rummage sale for your breast cancer awareness fundraiser. All you'll need is a relatively large room, perhaps in a school or a church, along with some long tables. You could rent the tables to those plying their wares and charge an entry fee to shoppers.
Heck, you could even maximize your moneymaking potential by opening up the sale to anyone, parent or not, who has infant or toddler items to sell.
But if you really want to maximize your proceeds, consider turning to something everybody loves ...

When Karl Dicks' water and sewer bill went crazy high, he went crazy mad.
"Something is wrong somewhere," Dicks said.
Two families live in the Lumialani Street duplex in Waipio, and split the bill.
But when the bill hit $740 dollars for one month, Dicks thought it was time he took action.
"I thought it was outrageous at $400 and $500 for every two months and it's just gone up from there," said Dicks.
So every day for 50 days straight, Karl Dicks read his meter.
By his accounting, daily usage was only 492 gallons when he says the Board of Water Supply's estimated usage was pegged at 2,500.
The tenants say they tried reducing their water use but it didn't make much of a dent.
The Board of Water Supply called Dicks Monday and told him it looked like there could be a problem and assured it would sent someone out to check on it.
Dick's issue with having a bill with estimated use over actual use wasn't an isolated case.
In fact, the city had been having problems with the devices that allow the meters to be read remotely.
The Board of Water Supply admitted it was having problems with its automated meter reading program and earlier this year replaced 51 thousand batteries across the island.
Those batteries were failing, which led an unusually high number of "estimated" bills and so they had to be replaced.
"We had to do that to give us a few more years and do the analysis and make the difficult decision of how to move forward in the future," said Board of Water Supply Chief Engineer Ernest Lau.
The city plans to begin a new study how best to overhaul its automated meter reading system and is expected to award the contract at the end of June.
"We feel we are at a crossroads right now we need to decide where we are going to go. In the next 10-15 years and which technology and what the cost will be to the Board of Water Supply and its customers," Lau said.
But until that switchover happens, Karl Dicks offers this advice.
"Find your meter. Read your meter Keep track and figure your daily usage," said Dicks.
Take your water bill, compare it and see if it's anywhere even close," said Dicks.
The Waipio man said he believes his water bill two years but said he was told the Board of Water supply policy is to only allow adjustments over a six month period.

The All-Area Victoria Senior All-Star game chooses the top 32 girls in the area by high school coaches and is selected by the Victoria Softball Umpire Chapter.
Richter, playing for the Black/Yellow Team was surrounded by 15 other seniors from various schools such as Victoria East, Refugio, Bloomington, Shiner, Yoakum, Saint Joseph - Victoria, Ganado and Sam Nemier from Yorktown.
Richter, playing second base for the Black/Yellow Team played the entire game.
Even though her team lost 5-3 in 8 innings, the game was dominated by several Division 1 pitchers and seniors from the larger schools, Richter made her own contribution to the game by batting second in the lineup, going 1 for 2 with a Sacrifice Bunt, reached on an error, and stole a base.
She also had two assist and no errors. Richter, having played in over 100 high school varsity softball games, finished up her career by tossing her cleats in the trash can as she walked out of the dugout.
Richter will now concentrate on Pole Vaulting as she starts her college career at Texas A&M Corpus Christi in the fall.


text: I have been exclusively pumping now for four months. it was just more convenient with my two part time jobs and a full time student. At first i tried to get my LO to latch on but after giving him the bottle with my milk he never wanted to go back to the boob. I have about a month and half break from school and work now. for the last couple of weeks my milk supply has been dwindling down to 8-16 oz a day. now that i can be home all day i want to stop EP and start breastfeeding but I feel like its too late. especially since i am having to supplement with formula because of my decreasing milk supply. ive tried to get him to latch on but he flat out refuses. should i keep trying? if what can i do to be most successful? or should i just throw in the towel? i dont think i can last much longer pumping?

September 18, 2003
The Illinois State Board of Education today approved
a five-year renewal of the charter of the Prairie Crossing
Charter School of Grayslake to begin July 1, 2004, when
the schools current 5-year charter expires.
This school has done good work in its four years
of existence and has a clear plan for expanding its scope
in the next five years, said Robert E. Schiller,
state superintedent of education, in making the recommendation
for renewal to the State Board. Visits to the school by
ISBE staff showed Prairie Crossing is in compliance with
both its original proposal and with the Illinois Charter
School Law and needed to amend its charter renewal proposal
slightly to receive board approval, Schiller said.
Accordingly, the charter renewal approved by the State
Board requires the school to make the following modifications
in its renewal proposal:
Under the Illinois Charter School Law, Prairie Crossing
Charter School will receive General State Aid funds otherwise
due the nearby Fremont School District 79 and Woodland
School District 50 for a maximum enrollment of 360 students.
Any enrollment increase beyond 360 and up to 432 students
would require a financial review and negotiation with
ISBE of the level of state support.
Prairie Crossing has an enrollment of 260 students and
has been in operation for four years. It will operate
for the 2003-04 school year under the final year of its
original 5-year charter. It is the only charter school
in Illinois chartered by the State Board rather than a
local school district.
