HBO producing Scorsese-directed Bill Clinton documentary By Daniel Strauss - 12/17/12 01:52 PM ET
HBO is producing a documentary about former President Bill Clinton by Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese.
The channel announced Monday that Clinton had given Scorsese full cooperation for the movie.
"I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have agreed to do this film," Clinton said in a statement. "I look forward to sharing my perspective on my years as president, and my work in the years since, with HBOs audience."
HBO officials said the documentary will give Clinton a new chance to reflect on his presidency.
"This documentary, under Martys gifted direction, creates a unique opportunity for the president to reflect on myriad issues that have consumed his attention and passion throughout both his presidency and post-presidency," HBO CEO Richard Plepler and programming president Michael Lombardo said in a statement.
Scorsese called Clinton a "towering figure" who "continues to shape the political dialogue both here and around the world" in a statement.
"Through intimate conversations, I hope to provide greater insight into this transcendent figure," Scorsese said.
A title and date for the movie's premiere has not been announced yet, according to The New York Times.
Interesting. Who will play Juanita Broaddrick's part?
Rape, adultry, extortion, murder, herpes infection and worse... oh no... martin the anti American pos commie producer will never mention anything but how blo job walked on water.
martin the anti American pos commie producer
I have never heard anyone say that. Did you see The Departed? I think you must be thinking of some other director.
Don't leave out the Chinese kickback for the Loral Space deal.
I wonder how much Slick had to pay them to get them to agree to do it.
I haven't watched HBO in years. Probably sometime back in the 80s.
history revision
Hmmmm ..?? Looks like this is just an attempt to make Bubba look palatable to the public .. so Hillary can run for office.
GOOD LUCK!! You'll need it.
Oh know....my words come back to haunt me. lol. I am not saying his is pro-American, but not calling him anti-American either. Perhaps he is just a producer period.
Right on... gore and 'toon made the chicoms a space nation.
There was recently an excellent profile of George H. W. Bush on TV. I think it may have been shown on CNN.
Could be the start of a new genre: Docuporno.
"The director has given a total of $28,000 to Obama, the DNC and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Martin Scorsese"
"The list of actors, directors and producers that donated least $5,000 include: Cameron Crowe, Will Ferrell, Ron Howard, Scarlett Johansson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Eddie Murphy, George Clooney, J.J. Abrams, Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Brian Grazer, Adrian Grenier, Tom Hanks, Mariska Hargitay, Will Smith, Aaron Sorkin, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand, Quentin Tarantino, Marlo Thomas, Sam Waterston, Ben Stiller, Oprah Winfrey, Kirk Douglas, Hilary Duff, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Jack Black, Anne Hathaway, Bette Midler, Tobey Maguire and Rita Wilson.
Other celebrities who donated less than $5,000 include Susan Sarandon, Zach Braff, David Arquette, Martin Scorsese, Don Cheadle and Chevy Chase."
"A brief example of Martin Scorsese's politics can be found in this Reuters story from January 2003, quoting him on the Iraq war:
"One hopes that this kind of war can be done diplomatically, with intelligence rather than wiping out a lot of innocent civilians," Scorsese told BBC radio. ...
"There are a lot of Americans who also feel that a lot of this (war talk) is economic," he said in London where he attended the premier of "Gangs." "Part of this has to do with the oil."
Scorsese also appeared to suggest that the U.S. was heavy-handed in the way it approached other cultures.
"I think it really has to come down to respecting how other people live," he said. "There's got to be ways this can be worked out diplomatically, there simply has to be."
(I would allow that we fell a little short in terms of respecting how Uday, Qusay and Saddam lived, and might have been a bit heavy handed with regard to their culture of mass rape, torture and murder.)
That'll take a lot of time in the film, I'm sure.
Plus, don't forget, his meeting Hitlery when they were dating the same girl. Could be a blockbuster.
hildebeast may be in prison by 2016.
Working title: "Crouching Intern, Hidden Cigar"
Which reminds me——did Clinton ever make the cover of
CIGAR AFICIANADO magazine?
I think that would be the time I've start to find ways to
leave the country.
Mr. Scorsese, Click on my name "Slyfox." You might find some good ideas to round out your presentation.
Are they going to show him tossing off in the Oval Office sink?
BJ and the Boar?
It will be his biggest crap.
Exactly. He must have found more lies because that is all Clinton is about.
good question
the next quesion
if wjk was such a great presdient why did he lose
52 seats in the house, 9 in the senate and 10 governorships in 1994?? If a democrat can answer that question, I will eat my hat.
While I was on the set building crew of the pilot for "Boardwalk Empire", directed by Scorcese, "Marty" came down to the location one day to see the set and we were told we had to stop working, and we were not allowed to look at him.
This is who this numbnuts is.
Is it x-rated?
Rosie O'Donnell as Monica?
Rosanne Barr as Hillary?
As I read this latest story on Benghazi, I am enraged. Four precious Americans are dead, and this administration has managed to prolong and avoid probing questions as to what went wrong and why and who gave orders to thwart efforts to assist and help the brave Navy Seals who fought and hoped help was on the way. That help never came! I recall President Obama promising those responsible would be brought to justice but that is not possible when the investigation is thwarted at every turn by those in this administration!
Where is Hillary Clinton and why has she not volunteered to assist and answer probing questions that the Secretary of State should willingly provide to the families and the American people?! Cover-up again?
I am currently reading the book "Following Orders: The Death of Vince Foster, Clinton White House Lawyer", by author Marinka Peschmann. The cover-ups documented in this book (over 300 footnotes) by the Clinton administration regarding the death of Vince Foster are disturbing, to say the least. The timing of the publication of this book is haunting. The cover-up tactics used then are eerily similar to the evasive and outrageous tactics playing out in the Benghazi investigation.
In Peschmann's previous book, The Whistleblower, she sums up the premise of the book in these words: "The Obama administration is the Clinton administration on steroids." Many of the players are the same and the tactics are all too familiar.
Below is an interview of Ms Peschmann on WCBM, discussing her book. I encourage you to listen:
Ms Peschmann's message is cautionary, it is chilling and it is real. We have 4 dead Americans and their families and all Americans deserve answers.
I encourage Americans to read "Following Orders" and I hope many interviews are granted Ms. Peschmann. The author can be reached through her website: http://www.marinkapeschmann.com/
Beverly Perlson
The Band of Mothers
Rosie ODonnell as Monica?
Rosanne Barr as Hillary?
I'm thinking Drew Barymore as Monica.
I don't know why they bother.
These movies are polarizing.
They are attended/watched based on the political leanings of the producers.
do they show him pushing a button to blow up an aspirin factory?
Not me...I want to see the part where Scorsese shows how Clinton destroyed the economy in 2007 with his implementation of the CRA in the '90s forcing banks and lending institutions to give loans to millions of unqualified people many of whom defaulted leading to the sub-prime crisis. Also the part where Clinton had a chance to arrest Bin-Laden but let him go. Yeah, I can't wait for those parts. (snicker)
Will the also show the BJ scene in the oval office?
I'm not holding my breath.
For most of the film, BC will be wearing his pants around his knees. Ice, Ice, Baby!

Moose Jaw Police Service
Moose Jaw Police Service was able to get a steal of a deal for an upcoming purchase of in-car video systems for MJPS vehicles.
Deputy Chief Randy Fuhr told the Moose Jaw Police Commissioners Board on Tuesday the department was able to secure a deal with Regina company WatchGuard Video under budget for eight video systems.
The equipment budget was set for $60,000, but MJPS was able to come under budget
with an estimated price of around $35,000.
The lower price is partly due to the company offering to take a trade in on the departments current equipment.
"We haven't had an upgrade in five years," Fuhr explained to the board about the need for new equipment.
Fuhr and Chief Dale Larson said it really is a useful tool for capturing on the scene evidence. The officers explained it helps in giving concrete proof towards the actions of individuals.
"If a person disagrees with an officer over running a red light, the video can be replayed to the person at the scene," Fuhr said of the value and efficiency the equipment offers police in clearing up disagreements.

- Abstract
- New Chandra X-ray data and extensive optical spectroscopy, obtained with AAOmega on the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope, are used to study the complex merger taking place in the galaxy cluster Abell 2744. Combining our spectra with data from the literature provides a catalog of 1237 redshifts for extragalactic objects lying within 15' of the cluster center. From these, we confirm 343 cluster members projected within 3 Mpc of the cluster center. Combining positions and velocities, we identify two major substructures, corresponding to the remnants of two major subclusters. The new data are consistent with a post-core-passage, major merger taking place along an axis that is tilted well out of the plane of the sky, together with an interloping minor merger. Supporting this interpretation, the new X-ray data reveal enriched, low entropy gas from the core of the approaching, major subcluster, lying ~2' north of the cluster center, and a shock front to the southeast of the previously known bright, compact core associated with the receding subcluster. The X-ray morphology of the compact core is consistent with a Bullet-like cluster viewed from within ~45° of the merger axis. An X-ray peak ~3' northwest of the cluster center, with an associated cold front to the northeast and a trail of low entropy gas to the south, is interpreted as the remnant of an interloping minor merger taking place roughly in the plane of the sky. We infer approximate paths for the three merging components.

Mica is a transparent earth mineral used to create mineral cosmetics that enhance the natural beauty of skin. Due to its low level of sheen, mica reflects light away from imperfections on the skin, offering a more youthful appearance.
Squalene is a natural component of human sebum, a mixture of lipids produced by glands in the skin. It is also found naturally in olive oil, wheat germ oil, rice bran oil, yeast, and other foodstuffs. Squalene acts as a lubricant and conditioning agent to give your skin a smooth and soft appearance.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Caprylic/capric triglyceride is oil that is made from coconut oil for use in cosmetic and personal care products. The oil helps reduce the loss of moisture in the skin by forming a protective barrier on the surface that holds in water.
Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
A natural ingredient derived from the seeds of the desert shrub, simmondsia chinensis, that helps slow the natural loss of water from the skin and, therefore, helps to keep your skin moisturized, look smoother and firmer, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Jojoba seed oil is non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin.
Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract
Extracts from the seeds of grapefruit are rich in antioxidant flavonoids (naringin and hesperidin) and liminoids (limonene and nomilin). These antioxidants may help protect the skin from environmental factors and support normal, healthy skin integrity.

Coaches talk about John Retton's influence
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." – James 4:14
WEIRTON – John Retton died at age 66 two weeks ago.
"John was the man who when he walked into the room, everything got brighter," said Steubenville Big Red baseball coach Fred Heatherington. "His personality was one that opened your eyes and ears. There was never a dull moment if you were around John Retton.
"His passion was baseball and not only was John a great baseball man in the Ohio Valley, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather. I've always told people that if you didn't like John Retton, then you didn't know John Retton, because if you knew him, you would have loved him.
"It was truly an honor to have called him friend."
Retton had retired from his education career in 2010 after 35 years to spend more time with his wife Patty of 46 years.
"I'm gonna miss him," said former Madonna football coach Bob Kramer. "He did an awful lot for me. He helped me out a great deal."
Retton helped many.
"He used to cut the practice field grass for us," said Kramer.
Retton was a guy who just couldn't sit around doing nothing.
"He always had to be doing something," said Blue Dons basketball coach George Vargo. "He had to go scout. He had to go to Kroger's. He had to be doing something.
"And, no matter where he went, he talked about sports.
"It was always something about sports with John. To me, sports creates a lot of good character, sharing and loving that can last a lifetime. It brings people together as a family, team and community. John kept that philosophy alive."
Added Kramer, "He needed to be doing something all the time. It was hard for him to sit around, and I appreciated that. I took advantage of it. When he asked if we needed help I was more than willing to take advantage of it."
Retton started at Follansbee High School in 1969 and coached baseball under head coach Perry West. In 1970 he moved to Brooke High School and coached freshman basketball. In 1971 he started teaching at Mingo Junior High School and coached wrestling and football at Mingo High School.
Most of his career was spent at Wintersville High School, where he was assistant football coach and head baseball coach for many years.
"Coach Retton was a very demanding coach who did not accept mediocrity," said Indian Creek baseball coach Mike Cottis. "He was very good at keeping his teams together and getting the most of of every single player on the team.
"He was famous among his players and fellow coaches for his one-liners, or Rettonisms as we called them. Some of them go down in our local sports scene as historic. He always had a story or saying that would set the tone for the day.
"There were times, as a player, I didn't fully understand the impact he had on us. Now, as an adult, I have a greater respect for the leadership and guidance he provided us.
"I was fortunate enough to start for four years for him from 1989-92 at Wintersville and was a member of the 1990 record-setting team that went 26-1. During that four-year span we won OVAC 4A titles in '89 and '90 and made regional appearances in '90 and '91. I then played for him in the summer for Post 33 from 89-92 where he was an assistant.
"Then, in the fall, he was my QB coach. It goes without saying that I spent a lot of time with him.
"Reflecting, I wouldn't trade those years for anything. He helped prepare me for who I am today and for that I am very thankful."
Retton was a part of four state championships with Post 33 in 1989, 1994, 1995 and 1998.
"John had great enthusiasm for life and brought that enthusiasm to the baseball field and did it every day," said Post 33 head coach Mark Stacy, who has been with the program since 1981 with Ang Vaccaro and Chuck Watt and took over the head coaching duties from Retton in 2003.
"John worked hard for his players. He cared very much. He was very demanding of his players and set the bar really high for them. I think he understood, regardless of what people say, that you don't have a real fun time unless you're good at something and unless you win and John demanded our players give it the attention it deserved and they worked hard.
"His teams were always winning teams.
"On a personal level, I had a lot of fun with John. He was joker. He was a guy, when he wasn't being serious, could be the funniest guy in the group. He kept a lot of us coaches loose. We had some really great times together. I will cherish those memories. I really will.
"He loved and enjoyed his family so much."
Kramer said he had no problem using Retton to help his program.
"Anything I asked him to do, he was more than willing to do that," said Kramer, who finished his work at Madonna in June 2011 as the all-time winningest football coach at 110-35 spanning 14 years. "John and Patty took a lot of pressure off us. There was a lot of time and effort spent on the road scouting other teams, as long as Connor or Matt weren't playing. They went a lot of places and saw a lot of things for me."
Kramer coached Matt and Connor Arlia, Retton's grandsons.
"John was on the field, but never got in the way," said Kramer. "He never overstepped anything. He was just there to help. Sometimes in summertime during two-a-days, we would have coffee in the mornings and sit and talk. He was just helpful. I was always happy to see him.
"He never did anything for recognition. Never tried to tell me what to do. If I had any questions or wanted any information, he was always willing to help. He arranged things for us because he had a lot of contacts and a lot of influence throughout the state.
"When we went to Pocahontas for the playoff game, he talked to the people at Fairmont State so we could practice on their field. He would call coaches for me – throughout the state – if they had played some of the teams we were going to play to get information from them. That's more helpful than a lot of people think.
"I didn't have to ask him. He would ask me if I wanted him to help.
"He was very helpful to me and our program."
Vargo was also around Retton a lot.
"I think John was an outstanding person with an abundant amount of energy," he said. "He had an excitement and enthusiasm for the game, the way it was meant to be played – whether it was baseball, football or basketball. He showed his enthusiasm the way he talked, the way he walked, the way he came to the games and the way he talked to fans and players – sharing his wealth and experience of sports to us.
"As a coach, his words of wisdom helped me – especially when we had losing streaks. John the type of guy that when we were winning he told us that we had to work harder and when we were losing he told to keep our heads up and things would get better.
"He really was a rambunctious, hyper-energetic guy who loved his family and loved sports."
In 1981, Retton founded the Follansbee Youth Basketball League which is still in high gear today. He was an assistant football coach at Bethany College from 1986-1990 under head coach Wally Neal.
"He was always calm and cool in the stands," said former Madonna principal John Mihalyo. "He loved athletics and loved watching his grandkids play. There wasn't a Madonna game Connor was playing in that I didn't see him at. His loss will be felt by the Madonna community."
Retton started the Wellsburg Legion team in 1985 before heading over to be a part of the Post 33 program from 1987-2002. He was the co-founder of the Post 33 Baseball Camp in 1995.
"One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never personally thanked Coach Chuck Watt (head coach of Post 33) and Coach John Retton before it was too late," said Cottis. "At the funeral home I thanked Coach Retton's wife on behalf of myself and all of my old teammates. She said, 'don't worry … he knew.'
"I sure hope so."

Angels win in extras, get first series sweep
ANAHEIM – As Mark Trumbo approached the plate to lead off the bottom of Sunday's 13th inning, two Angels long removed from the action noticed a telling statistic on the scoreboard.
In four career plate appearances against Detroit left-hander Phil Coke, C.J. Wilson read off the Angel Stadium big screen, Trumbo had reached base all four times, with three hits – but no homers.
And so Wilson slyly said to infielder Brendan Harris, as his voice trailed off: "Could that mean...?"
Yes, yes it could. Trumbo worked the count to 3-1 off Coke and then smashed an over-the-plate changeup deep into the bullpen past the left-field fence, single-handedly giving the Angels the 4-3 extra-innings win and the series sweep over the vaunted Tigers.
Suddenly, with five straight home wins and the AL West-leading Texas Rangers in town beginning Monday, the Angels (7-10) don't seem so slow-starting anymore.
"Three wins against a team of this caliber is an excellent sign," Trumbo said. "You have to think that this is closer to what our actual team is."
Trumbo said he was "semi-aware" of his past success off Coke as he walked to the plate. He was well aware, though, that Coke's changeup had already got him four of six outs on the day, and when he got deep into the count he knew exactly what to expect.
Before the home run, the Angels were scoreless for nine consecutive innings, all three of their runs coming in the third, two on an Albert Pujols double.
Wilson, the game's starter, earned a no-decision for allowing three runs in six innings. Harris and streaking outfielder Mike Trout recorded multi-hit games.
Right-hander Jerome Williams (1-0) got the win with three innings of scoreless relief.

His flight activity often depends on the department's fluctuating fiscal standing.
"Sometimes I'll go out several times per week, or sometimes it could be just once per month," Falk said. "The activity is reflective of our dynamic budget."
Falk's experiences in the air have given him a unique perspective on the state's current border security situation.
When State Rep. J.M. Lozano spoke at a July 8 San Patricio County Republican Women's meeting in Portland about border security, Falk spoke up in support of Lozano's proposal to utilize more helicopters to combat illegal immigration. He said he regularly sees illegal immigrants when he is in the air.
"We definitely know they're there," Falk said.
Gov. Rick Perry authorized orders for 1,000 National Guard troops to help secure the southern border Monday. The Guard will work with additional law enforcement to coordinate ground, river, and air operations to deter criminal activity along the Texas-Mexico border.
The Reserve does not have a working memorandum with Border Patrol agents to cooperate in combating illegal immigration, Falk said. But he believes the Reserve's resources could be valuable in the effort.
"It saddens me that we can't utilize those resources," Falk said. "I know first hand the effectiveness of using aerial assets to intercept them. I'd like to see additional Reserve Black Hawks to aid ground units in their battles against drugs and human trafficking."
The Black Hawks' ability to fly with night vision would provide a primary aid in locating human traffickers, Falk said.
"Night vision systems greatly enable us to identify these folks at night," he said.
Falk has been in the Reserve for more than eight years. He began flight school at Fort Rucker, Ala., in 2010.
Portland resident Garrison Thompson - a 2008 Gregory-Portland High School graduate - often flies traffic patterns with Falk.
"I do general maintenance for the aircraft, and provide an extra set of eyes for the pilots when they're in flight," Thompson said.
Illegal immigrants and human traffickers do not provide the only noteworthy commotion on the ground. Thompson said he often sees disruptive wildlife, including wild hogs.
"Sometimes I'll notify someone about it if we're not working on something major," Thompson said. "They'll usually be around water holes."

Following my completion of a BA Fine Art at Leeds Metropolitan University in 1999 as a mature student my desire to continue working with glass led me to Sunderland University where I completed my MA Glass in 2004.
Studied at Central School,London,late seventies.1987 moved to french countryside where I live with my wife and two children. Create 'art glass' for galleries, commissions private and public, run summer courses.'President' local action group for autistic children.
Only 3 years doing fused glass in class without own kiln. Just bought first kiln. Excited!
I am fascinated by the movement, colour-combinations and reflective characteristics of water, and often work to replicate these features in glass. I love the liquid effect that can be achieved with fusing and slumping, and often use moulds created from shells and other found beach objects, and mount or frame work in driftwood.
Designer and maker of stained glass, principally for the church, and also for secular buildings. I also work on exhibitions and for galleries. I am a painter on glass, both flat and glass forms, as well as on paper. my work is figurative, expressive and narrative.
Based near Bath, Antonia designs and etches natural images into flat glass, using stencil and sandblasting techniques. She works to commission creating unique, light diffusing designs on clear glazing for windows and doors. She also etches into mirror, creating light enhancing wall panels and decorative framed mirrors for functional use.
I have been working in glass for about ten years - initially traditional stained and leaded glass, but rapidly extending into a wide range of techniques, including fusing, slumping,kilncasting, sandblasting and printing on glass. Following two years at Central St Martins, I am currently working towards an MA at UCA Farnham.

What Factors Influence the Progression of Childbirth?
Your body is perfectly designed to promote a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. For the majority of healthy women, childbirth progresses spontaneously without complications. However, there are steps you can take to promote this normal progression, and there are factors that can interfere with it.
What are the physical factors?
Many physical factors can promote the progression of labor.
The position of your baby might play a role. Most babies navigate best through the pelvis if they are head down, with their face toward your spine. This is called an anterior position. During the last weeks of pregnancy, try to promote this positioning of your baby. Avoid lying on your back. When relaxing, choose forward leaning positions such as sitting on a physical therapy ball with your legs apart. When resting or sleeping, lay on your side as far to your stomach as you comfortably can.
As contractions begin, choose positions of comfort. Freedom of movement and frequent position changes can help the baby choose optimal positions for birth. Upright positions allow you to use gravity to promote the downward movement of the baby.
You might find it very difficult to move during a contraction. That's okay - just relax as much as possible during the contraction, breathe slowly and deeply, and move when it is over. You might also find that changing to a new position makes the contraction more intense or painful. However, try to avoid switching again too soon - try several contractions in the new position, readjusting and regrouping - before deciding to abandon it. Alternate upright positions with positions of rest, such as sitting in a rocking chair or side-lying in bed.
How can support and touch help?
The active participation of your partner, doula, labor nurse, midwife, or doctor is another way to promote the natural progression of labor. Research shows that the presence of a doula or other supportive person is associated with many positive benefits during childbirth, including shorter labors, less use of pain medication or epidurals, fewer cesarean sections, and successful breastfeeding. Your midwife, doctor, or labor nurse may spend considerable time supporting you, but they might also have responsibilities for other laboring women as well. A doula, on the other hand, is likely to spend much of your labor with you.
Human touch can also help labor progress. This touch can take many forms: back and hip counter-pressure to help alleviate pain, massage to promote relaxation, acupressure to alleviate pain or promote effective contractions, or energy work such as Therapeutic Touch or Reiki to promote relaxation and pain relief. It can even be as simple as holding someone's hand for support.
How can water therapy help?
Many childbirth professionals promote the use of water therapy-immersion in a warm tub or warm shower-to cope with labor. Research on water therapy has produced some interesting results.
- When women enter the water during active labor, their average labor time is shorter than women who do not labor in water.
- When women enter the water during early labor, contractions might become less strong or less frequent. This might not necessarily be a disadvantage. If early labor contractions have been occurring for a long time, entering the water could give you a break and a chance to rest and regroup. You might even be able to sleep when you emerge from the water, and once rested, your labor might return in a better and more effective pattern. In general, though, it is best to wait until labor is well established before entering the water.
How can emotions impact labor?
Your emotional wellbeing is very important during labor. Do what you can during pregnancy to address fears and concerns so you can enter labor with confidence in yourself, your partner, your other birth attendants, and your midwife or doctor.
You can also use guided relaxation or meditation at any time during labor to help you build images of safety and strength, or to identify fears that might need to be addressed.
Women in labor are often advised to let go and release control of labor to their bodies' own innate ability. In order to do this, you will need to feel safe with the environment and with your chosen care providers and support people. Because labor is a time when many women feel vulnerable, you should ask for understanding, support, and respect from those around you to help enhance your feelings of safety and strength.
How can the environment help?
The environment can also promote the progression of labor. One of the pioneers in the natural childbirth movement, obstetrician Robert Bradley, compared the medicated and difficult childbirths of women in brightly lit, tiled delivery rooms with the relatively easy births of animals that chose dark, comfortable places of safety. Thus, his initial recommendation to promote the natural progress of labor was to choose a dark, quiet environment.
Of course, the environment is also inclusive of more than just the lighting and comfort of the surroundings. You might want to include music that you enjoy, find meaningful to you, or feel simply promotes feelings of relaxation.
You might also want to consider aromatherapy, which can contribute to feelings of wellbeing and thus influence your course of labor. Many birth professionals recommend the use of lavender during labor. If you are giving birth in a hospital or birth center, you might not be able to use candles, but you could use an infuser, or make a small sachet.
Check ahead of time for any hospital policies on "scent-free environments."
What factors may interfere with the natural progression of labor?
It should come as no surprise that the opposites of some of the promoting factors we discussed above can interfere with labor progress.
Being restricted to bed, especially if you spend most of your time lying on your back, or sitting up at a small angle, interferes with labor progress in more than one way. In this position:
- Gravity works against you, and the baby might be more likely to settle into a posterior position.
- Pain might increase, especially back pain.
- Blood circulation to your uterus decreases, which could lead to less effective contractions.
- Blood circulation to your baby also decreases.
Electronic fetal monitoring, which is often used in birthing units in the United States, frequently confines women to bed. This prevents women from using gravity to encourage movement. Note that there is no evidence that continuous monitoring provides a safer childbirth experience than intermittent monitoring, and its use has been associated with increased cesarean sections and other interventions.
Even if you require continuous fetal monitoring, you can use almost any position-with some adaptation. If available, you can use telemetry monitoring that transmits data wirelessly to a central monitoring station. If telemetry monitoring is not available, don't just lie down-you can still stand at the side of the monitor, walk a very short distance, sit on a birthing ball or rocking chair, labor on your hands and knees, or use a variety of other positions.
Emotional concerns, such as fear, embarrassment, or a lack of support, can also interfere with labor progress. Fear and anxiety release hormones, such as adrenalin, which can slow labor contractions. If you had a particularly difficult time at a certain point in a previous labor, you might find yourself approaching that same point with fear. Most healthcare providers can provide many stories of labors that seemed to have stopped progressing, but progressed well after talking about emotional concerns, expressing fears aloud, and perhaps clearing the air with some tears.
Lack of support can also be detrimental. Sometimes, those you have invited to provide support might instead create tension or have difficulty dealing with the demands of labor. If this happens, although it might be difficult, you might consider asking them to leave for awhile. If you feel more emotionally centered in their absence, you can ask them to return after the baby has been born. If you find that you miss their support, you can ask them to rejoin you, after a brief discussion on how they can better help.
One topic that merits special discussion is the topic of sexual abuse. Women who have experienced sexual abuse, whether in the recent or far-distant past, might have unique fears about childbirth. Memories of pain may resurface during labor. If you have experienced abuse in the past, we encourage you to bring this up with your midwife or doctor, so that they are aware of your experiences. If you have not had counseling or therapy and would like to, ask for a referral. Your birth partner(s) might also be able to help you more effectively if you talk with them about this. Ask your birth partner(s) to remind you that you are giving birth to your baby and that you are safe in the birth center (or wherever you are). They can remind you that you are feeling contractions that are opening the cervix, or pressure from the baby's head stretching your tissues. They should not use expressions such as "just give in," or "don't fight it," as these might be phrases that were used by your abuser.
What about a combined effect?
While individual factors might not have a large impact on the progress of labor, they could lead to what is known as a cascade of interventions, which could have a cumulative effect on the progression of labor.
Here's an example. A labor induction should theoretically promote labor progress. However, most induction methods require bed rest and monitoring. A woman receiving pitocin, for example, will require an IV and continuous monitoring. These interventions might restrict the woman's movement, and, at the very least, make it more difficult to move around because of the monitor cables, IV poles, and IV pumps. Being restricted might increase pain levels and the chance of the baby settling into an unfavorable position. Increased pain could result in early use of pain medication or epidural anesthesia, which further limit movement. Epidural anesthesia could make pushing efforts less effective and increase the likelihood of a cesarean section, vacuum, or forceps delivery. A vacuum or forceps delivery might increase the likelihood of an episiotomy or an extended tear.
What effects can pain medication and epidurals have on the progression of childbirth?
Pain medication and regional anesthetics (such as epidural, intrathecal, or spinal anesthesia) bear special mention. Most midwives and physicians agree that the use of pain medication or regional anesthesia during early labor can slow labor progress. A common midwifery text by Varney describes this very well, cautioning midwives about using IV pain medication too early in labor: "although you have made the woman extremely comfortable, you have lengthened the total labor by several hours (for which she would probably not thank you if she knew)."
Most researchers have concluded that epidurals or other regional anesthesia may be associated with longer labors, longer pushing, increased risk of vacuum, forceps, and cesarean sections, as well as increased risk of other complications, such as low blood pressure (which might adversely affect the baby), fever, headache, and nerve damage. (It should be noted however that a newer research study challenges the association with longer labor lengths and increased cesarean sections.)
However, in some instances, pain medication or epidural anesthesia might help to promote labor progress.
- Medication might help women who are very fearful and who have not been able to alleviate this anxiety with emotional support.
- Anesthesia might help the pelvic muscles relax when a woman cannot relax using breathing, relaxation, and supportive techniques.
- Epidurals might help women with an uncontrollable urge to push against an only partially dilated or swollen cervix to stop pushing, allowing the swelling of the cervix to subside and dilation to continue.
What you should ask about medications
You should make a decision to use medications or interventions during labor carefully and take plenty of time to ask questions about this during your prenatal exams. Ask your midwife or physician for input if you are considering these choices. Informed consent for medications, or for other proposed labor interventions, means that you know the following:
- The name of the drug, procedure, or other intervention.
- The reason the drug, procedure, or intervention is being proposed (the benefits).
- The potential risks of the proposed therapy.
- What would happen if you did not use the proposed therapy, or if you waited.
- What alternatives exist to the proposed therapy.
Unless there is an emergency, it is always appropriate to ask questions, and to ask to be given time to talk privately with your partner as you make a decision. We've mentioned this before, but it is worth saying again: try not to make a decision about pain medication in the middle of a contraction!
A very brief description of some medical forms of pain relief for labor and their risks and benefits can be found at SutterHealth.org.

Cosmin Ghiurau, a native Metro-Detroiter who began his career at General Motors, returned to his roots this week to get a first look at what's happening at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). Below he fills us in on his experience and shares tips for navigating the show floor.
Will you be attending NAIAS this year? See the bottom of this post for your chance to win free tickets to the show!
The beginning of the year marks a magical time for Michigan and the Motor City of Detroit. It is a crowning time where a diverse set of people come together to converge on an emotional and aspirational product, the automobile. A moment where auto manufacturers, suppliers, press, both domestic and international coalesce with the true customer, you and I, to share with us their finest product, technology and dreams to come.
As someone that has lived almost their entire life in the Metro-Detroit area and for the past few years have relocated to the Dallas area, it is always refreshing to get an opportunity to come back to my home State of Michigan and especially the Metro-Detroit area. It is amazing to see the revitalization of the Detroit area during the past couple of years and how the automotive industry is seeing great signs of a tremendous comeback. The 2013 North American International Auto Show is evidence of this turnaround as it is laden with amazing new products with a clear focus on electrification of cars and a great deal of emphasis on smaller cars that fit the lifestyle of families.
Having an opportunity to be part of the Preview Week for the first time, it was great to get up close and personal with many of the new products, designers, engineers, and stories behind many vehicles. No matter what brand your loyalty is, this Auto Show will not disappoint. With an Auto Show so impressive, there were a few things along the way that I learned which helped me navigate and absorb as much as possible from every exhibit. Hopefully the following tips will help you and everyone that attends this Auto Show to fully experience the products that are on display.
To start things off, one thing is clear. Make sure to dedicate at least 6-8 hours at the Auto Show. Depending on your pace, this is a safe time to ensure you are able to take advantage of all that the Auto Show has to offer.
Tip 1 – Clothing
Before heading out to Cobo Hall, depending on the weather make sure you are prepared to leave behind some clothes at the coat check or in your car. With the combination of the cold January days in Michigan together with the long walk through the show floor, some people fail to realize is that it really requires lighter clothing.
As mentioned earlier, if you will be there for 6-8 hours, comfortable shoes are an absolute must. Most exhibits and walkways have carpeting to ease the feet; however nothing will replace comfortable shoes. While you are there, a trend is to bring your wearable technology such as the Nike Fuel band or FitBit products. This way you can measure your effort as well.
Tip 2 – The route
Once you enter the Auto Show make sure you grab a map of the floor space. Many people will first go to their favorite brand or the exotic cars that are there. Whatever the first stop is, make sure to map out the exhibits you plan to attend. If you don't have a map, you will realize that you are going in circles really fast. One thing I noticed about this year's Auto Show is that the brands are consolidated and the walk ways are well placed to go on a circle route and end up in the middle with the exotic and performance cars.
Tip 3 – The Food
If you will be there for most of the day, water is important to have with you at all times. There should be water vending machines throughout Cobo Hall and at concession stands. The food is adequate for this type of event, so be planned to have an appetite after all of the walking. Once again, water is extremely important so make sure to come prepared to buy enough.
Tip 4 – Your Tech
Auto Shows are a perfect opportunity to bring out your camera and video camera to capture memories. Make sure you are courteous to others as they take photos and more than likely you will get many requests to take a photo for someone. You will see DSLR Cameras, point and shoot cameras, and more and more people just using their smart phone camera.
One element I cannot stress enough is to make sure that you have a portable battery charger. Outlets are few and far in between, so I wouldn't rely on them. For smart phones a portable battery charger is critical. These chargers can charge a smart phone battery to full capacity multiple times over. So make sure prior to arriving at the Auto Show you stop by a local electronic retailer to pick one up. Taking all of the photos and videos, will be a drain on your smart phone. As in most show floors carrier reception is spotty so this will add additional drain on the battery. A perfect companion is the portable battery charger. It is worth every penny.
Tip 5 – Pace yourself
As a final tip, make sure to pace yourself. If you are like me and want to spend a little extra time in the exhibit of your favorite brand or talking to representatives and inquiring about availability and price, pace yourself. Stop and rest. Before you know it you are walking for a few hours and you become exhausted to the point of missing out on a lot of great vehicles. Follow your route that you planned. Stay hydrated. Take time with the products.
To wrap things up, the 2013 North American Auto Show is a tradition for many in the Detroit Metro area and the entire region. It is a place where parents and kids can experience their dream cars. This Auto Show will not disappoint. Especially if you can survive it with these helpful tips and create memories for yourself and family. It truly is a unique Michigan experience that is open to all.

I just downloaded the portable version of Iron, and need to know how to start from a totally clean state every time I launch it again.
I see a bunch of files in .\Profile: What files should I remove/replace before launching Iron again so that the remote site thinks this is the first time I'm connecting?
Thank you.

Sometimes it happens: cities that are major tourist destinations have essential
places for foreigners who come visiting.
Sometimes people living in those cities
do not go much to these sites. In other cases, foreigners and locals mix with
each other, each having its good reason to be there. When that happens it is
usually because the place is both interesting and real.
Plaza Garibaldi is one of the most traditional places in Mexico City. It is the
base of operations for the mariachis. If you need a mariachi band to sing Las
Mañanitas (typical birthday song) to your mother, you go to Garibaldi. If you
don't have enough money to pay a mariachi at home, you take your mom to the
Oh, excuse me. Anybody knows what a mariachi is? Mariachi is a musical
group with many members (round about 10) which play all sorts of traditional and
regional mexican music. Their clothing is based on the charros (horsemen of the
farms) and is adorned with silver. They have this huge hat, which is associated
with the image of mexicans, even if no ordinary mexican use it unless… works as a mariachi.
The Plaza Garibaldi is surrounded by cantinas (mexican word for "bar"). One of
them is almost a mythical place: El Salon Tenampa. In that place there is a lot
of tequila and of course a lot of mariachis. On the walls there are murals like this
one where the quintessential charros are Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete.
A tradition of the cantinas are the boxes for toques, meaning for electrical
shocks. Personally I've never understood that tradition. It's about men called
Toqueros. They bring with them a small wooden box with six batteries of one
volt and a half, a pair of wires and two copper cylinders. All this stuff acts as a
generator and conductor of energy.
The game consists of the following: a player holds the cylinders in his hands, then the toquero turn on the appliance, so the batteries release discharges up to 70 volts. All friends of a group go in shifts. The one who holds the more volts win. What do you win? The honor of being named the most "macho" at the table.
Absurd, right? Well, everybody at the cantinas seem to have a lot of fun with that. Reset yourself for less than one euro.
If someday you go through Mexico City you have to live a wild night at Garibaldi,
where the party doesn't end until sunrise. To get there only catch the subway and get
off at Garibaldi Station in the historic city center. And good luck, you macho man!

Area snowmobile trails were back open Wednesday, Dane County officials said.
The Council of Snowmobile Clubs and the Dane County Parks Division said the recent snowfall provided a snow base for the recreational vehicles and trails were reopened at noon. The trails will stay open as long as there is adequate snow depth and steady below freezing temperatures.
Council of Snowmobile Clubs said snowmobilers should use caution on the trails. During the last warm spell, water collected in low areas along the trails and operators may encounter ice under the newly fallen snow.
The only trail remaining closed is Trail 29N from the city of Stoughton to Lake Kegonsa, which has been closed for the season.

Startup Applications List
Unfortunately, due to a change in my circumstances, the startup programs database here at Sysinfo.org will no longer be updated and the off-line downloads are no longer available. The version at Pacman's Portal will, however, continue to be updated and it's recommended that you refer to that site for more up to date information. The reason for this change in policy cannot be disclosed at this time but I hope you have enjoyed using the database here and thank you for your support and kind comments over the years.
Paul Collins
If you're frustrated with the time it takes your Windows 7/Vista/XP PC to boot and then it seems to be running slowly you may have too many programs running at start-up - and you have come to the right place to identify them. This is the original startup programs (as opposed to processes/tasks) list - one of the most accurate and comprehensive. Services are not included - see below. The database is mirrored in a slightly different format at Pacman's Portal.
"Name or Startup Item" in the table below refers to how an entry is displayed in MSConfig, Windows Defender or the registry "Run" keys. "Command or Data" refers to the program the entry runs. For further information on this and how to identify and disable startup programs you may want to also visit this page.
For further information on random startup entries please visit the Startups Info page.
Last update :- 29th July, 2011
24133 items listed

Notes & Warnings
DISCLAIMER: It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they are using and comfortable with making the suggested changes. We will not be held responsible if changes you make cause a system failure.
WARNING: This is NOT a database of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a database of startup applications, although you will find some of them listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs that are currently running - not necessarily at startup. For a list of tasks/processes you should try the Process Library from Uniblue, the list at PC Pitstop or one of the many others now available. Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because it has an "X" recommendation, please check whether it's in MSConfig or the registry first. An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL. If in doubt, don't do anything.
To avoid the database becoming too large, all virus entries are only shown using the registry version which is common to all Windows versions. Otherwise there would be multiple entries for popular filenames that viruses often use - such as "svchost" above for example. Multiple viruses can also use the same startup entries, in this case only those with significant differences (such as file location) are repeated in this database.
NOTE: There are a number of virus and malware entries listed in this database where specific removal instructions haven't been given. If this is the case then you could try ComboFix, a program written by sUBs that can remove many different types of Trojans and Worms. See here for a tutorial on how to use the program
IMPORTANT: A number of entries are repeated due to the way that different operating systems display startup items. For example, WinMe lists "POPROXY.EXE" as "Norton eMail Protect" in both MSCONFIG and the registry whereas WinXP lists it as "Poproxy" in MSCONFIG and "Norton eMail Protect" in the registry.
SERVICES: "Services" from the NT/2K/XP/Vista/7 operating systems are not included. I fully understand that some programs with these OS's use "Services" as an alternative to load their component parts at startup but these are handled in a different way. We recommend you try BlackViper for information on services for the relevant operating systems.
If you're looking for a startup manager then why not try Spybot - Search & Destroy (by Safer Networking Ltd) as the startup programs section (select the Advanced mode) includes descriptions from this database. You might also want to try their RunAlyzer and FileAlyzer tools.As there are more than 10,000 entries in this database related to viruses, trojans, worms and other malware we recommend you use a quality internet security package. Which ever you choose, keep it updated.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and former NBA star Dennis Rodman watch an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Feb. 28.
North Korean media calls Kim Jong Un "the greatest-ever commander." Dennis Rodman says he is "a normal guy."
Neither description seems fitting, but little is known about the third-generation leader now locked in a showdown with the U.S. and South Korea that some fear could lead to war.
Before Kim took over from his father, Kim Jong Il, he had barely been seen in public. And even though he's been in charge for more than a year, there's been only a trickle of information about his personality and habits.
The most recent details about the man threatening to send missiles to the U.S. come from Rodman, who made a trip to Pyongyang earlier this year. Here are some tidbits about Kim that have emerged outside the North Korean propaganda machine:
He shares a birthday with Elvis Presley ... maybe: Kim has been reported to be somewhere between 29 and 30 years old. But Kenji Fujimoto, a sushi chef who worked for his family until 2001 and later wrote a tell-all, claims he was born Jan. 8, 1983 — the same date as The King.
KCNA via Reuters file
Kim Jong Un and wife Ri Sol-Ju last July.
He has a first lady: North Korean media revealed Kim was married last July when it announced his fashionable female companion at the opening of an amusement park was his wife, Ri Sol-ju. No one is certain when they tied the knot or whether they have children. South Korean media say she's a former cheerleader and singer.
He was educated in the West: Kim attended a state school in Switzerland from 1998 to 2000, posing as a diplomat's son named Pak Un, according to the Washington Post. "I never saw his father or mother," Principal Peter Burri told the paper. Another official described him as "well-integrated, diligent, ambitious." Kim reportedly later attended the Kim Il Sung Military University in Pyongyang, named after his grandfather.
He's crazy about basketball: He idolized Michael Jordan and was no slouch on the court himself. One high-school buddy described him as "explosive" and a "playmaker." Another said he was fiercely competitive: "He hated to lose."
KCNA via EPA
Kim Jong Un and his iMac.
He's brand-conscious: Teenage buddies recalled he had a collection of expensive Nike sneakers. A recent photo of him plotting military action against the U.S. showed an Apple iMac computer on his desk. His wife supposedly carries a Dior clutch, though some think it's a knock-off.
His hairstyle is unsanctioned: North Korea reportedly has 28 "recommended" hairstyles for its people. Kim's 'do — shaved on the sides, floppy on top — is not among them, according to a Hong Kong TV network that obtained photos of the approved looks.
He's a song-and-dance man: High-school classmates told London's Daily Telegraph his favorite song was "Brother Louie" by the German pop duo Modern Talking. Rodman told London's Sun that Kim digs 1980s disco. "There was an all-girl band playing and we were definitely getting down," Rodman said of their visit.
KCNA via Reuters
Kim Jong Un looks at a photo of his grandfather Kim Il Sung last month.
He's a heavyweight: South Korea's Yonhap news agency has reported that after the 2004 death of his mother from cancer, Kim went on a drinking and eating binge, ballooning to almost 200 pounds. He remains plump in a country ravaged by famine and suffers from diabetes and hypertension.
He's a chip off the old block: Kim looks so much like his grandfather, national founder Kim Il Sung, that North Korea's official news agency had to deny rumors he had gone under the knife. Analysts say he hoped to model himself on his grandfather, who was more liked by his people than Kim's much-feared father.
The youngest son of Kim Jong Il succeeded his late father in 2011, becoming the third member of his family to rule the unpredictable and reclusive communist state.

Some of earnings season's top and bottom stocks
- 2:44 pm Saturday, October 19th, 2013 by Dian Vujovich
Seems like there's always a season of one kind or another going on whether you're an investor or not. The holiday season is right around the corner for everybody. The social season is a big to-do for socialites. But for investors– no matter what level of wealth they enjoy—there's the season that happens not one, two, three but four times a year: Earnings season.
Following the calendar's clue, earnings season typically happens right after a quarter ends. Since it's October, this year's third-quarter earnings season began October 8.
Even though the market indices are reaching new highs, 2013 hasn't turned out to [More]

Christina Aleman, 39, and Megan Darling, 20, of Three Rivers were driving into town in a 2012 Chevy Impala with Cadence Aleman in a car seat when they were rear-ended by a F750 Pumpco truck with a trailer as they were turning onto Owens Avenue.
The truck jackknifed to the water tower's side of the road, and the Chevy veered the opposite direction.
Three Rivers police and fire departments responded to the incident along with state troopers.
Detective Clint Davis said the truck was going close to the speed limit at the time of the collision.
Police officer Howard Bostwick said the truck driver was given three citations on Friday, one for no trailer brakes, one for no break-away device, and another for failure to control speed.
"We all had seat belts on; I think that was the only thing that kept us from going through the windshield," Darling said.
As of Friday afternoon, Cadence's condition was improving, according to Jaeanelle Darling. Jaeanelle also said her tubes and cervical collar were removed and she has a fractured left eye, bleeding on the brain, and bruised lungs despite being in a car seat.
"It's a day-to-day wait," Jaeanelle said.
Christina and Megan were on their feet on Friday with a few bumps and bruises.
As of Monday, Detective Davis said Cadence "took a turn for the better" during the weekend and would be out of the hospital soon.
No other information is available at this time, including the name of the driver.

I asked earlier about taking fenugreek to increase milk supply but has anyone ever taken a prescription to increase their milk supply and did it work and have any side effects? Who would you go to to get one from?
I asked earlier about taking fenugreek to increase milk supply but has anyone ever taken a prescription to increase their milk supply and did it work and have any side effects? Who would you go to to get one from?
Hi! I took Reglan to increase milk production. It worked very well for me. I was also pumping and taking fenugreek- they both helped a lot, especially the pumping. I had no side effects from the Reglan, though it does carry an increased risk for depression. If you have a family history of depression it pays to be cautious when taking the drug. I got my prescription from my midwife.
Hi. I got a rx for reglan from my ob but couldn't take it.Caused me to have panic attacks. I got domperidone over the internet and it worked great!!! No side effects!
The best prescription medication (in my non-medical opinion) is domperidone. It has side effects like any drug but I haven't had any problems. There are several threads discussing it on these forums. It is difficult to get a prescription in the US for complicated reasons, but it is possible. You have to find a knowledgeable OB. It is illegal in the US for regular pharmacies to distribute it, despite the fact that I am told it is safer than Reglan, and it is available normally by prescription in Canada and other countries. The way to get it legally in the US is to find a compounding pharmacist. If you're in the Boston area I can tell you where to find one (or they might even ship it for you...). But you do need to find a doctor who will prescribe it.
I have taken Reglan with good results. I took 10mg three times a day for a while (about 2 weeks) then tapered off of it. I take it occassionally when I feel my supply has dropped or DS is eating more than usual. It does have some side effects but I didn't have any. If you have any history of PPD or depression in general, be sure to let you doctor know before you start this medication.
i ordered domperidone online and it took no time for me to get it. not sure about how well it works. i got it because i had problems with my supply with my last baby.
i wanted to make sure i had it on hand if i needed it
Domperidone (brand name Motilium) is a prescription galactogogue, similar to Reglan but with fewer side effects. Since it is a prescription drug, it should only be used as a last resort after it has been determined that you really do have a low milk supply or failure to thrive (FTT) situation. While it is generally considered safe, most people discuss using it with their family doctor, ob/gyn, or pediatrician before resorting to using this drug.
The best info on this drug is found on the kelly mom site and includes info on usage, dosage, politics behind its use and non-use, legality, medical journal articles about its use, etc.
More info is found on the BFAR site .
Domperidone can be obtained in the US from compounding pharmacies, or on the internet without prescription from:
When my baby was about a month old, I took reglan, which I received from my gynecologist. It worked within 5-7 days. I took it for a couple of months with no side effects. I was even told it would help with my baby's acid reflux as it passed through the milk. Feeling my supply was back up, and not liking to take medications anyhow, I stopped taking it.
The beginning of this year, I was sick with strep throat and my supply really dwindled. I restarted the reglan and within about a month began feeling very anxious and sad. I suddenly could not stand to leave my LO in his wonderful nursery that he'd been attending for several months with no problems! I do not have a personal history of depression, nor a family history of depression. I think my baby was noticing this change in me and at that point realized, it was not worth making the extra breast milk if I couldn't enjoy my life.
So I discontinued the reglan and began taking B vitamins (I'm vegetarian and was concerned my LO might be using up my B's faster than I could get them), and I have been feeling MUCH better. I still miss him everyday!
My milk supply is still not quite enough, so I supplement about 3-6 ounces a day. I plan on trying fenugreek soon.
I'm taking Domperidone. You don't need a prescription if ordered out of the country.
I can't say I notice a big increase but then again I'm also drinking Mothers Milk tea and and taking blessed thistle and drinking lots of water. I also have had every b/f problem known to woman so I'm not a good case. But my milk did NOT double or anything....
I can vouch that Fenugreek has some effect but it burns out after a while.
Kind a kills me to have the Increasing Supply forum right next to the Oversupply forum..... How can anybody have an "oversupply"?!?!?!
