Epidural for childbirth
An epidural stops you feeling pain from contractions during childbirth without putting you to sleep (unlike a general anaesthetic).
You will meet the anaesthetist carrying out your epidural to discuss your care. It may differ from what's described here as it will be designed to meet your individual needs.
An epidural involves local anaesthetic and sometimes other pain-relieving medicines being injected into your lower back. After an epidural, you shouldn't be able to feel any pain in your abdomen or the tops of your legs. They usually take about 20 minutes to work.
If you have an epidural, your second stage of labour may take longer because you won't feel the urge to push. It may also make moving around more difficult because you will have less feeling in your back and legs.
Some birthing units offer a mobile epidural. This uses a lower dose of local anaesthetic plus a strong painkiller called an opioid. It allows you to walk about and use different positions that may make your labour easier.
How it works How does an epidural work?
Your spinal cord runs through a channel formed by your vertebrae (bones in your spine) and is surrounded by three protective layers of tissue called the meninges. A protective layer of fluid lies between two of these tissue layers (this is known as the cerebrospinal fluid or CSF). The area just outside all these layers is called the epidural space.
Your spinal cord carries signals, in the form of electrical messages, between your brain and the network of nerves that branch outwards from your spine to all parts of your body. At each level of your spine, nerves leave your spinal cord to go to specific parts of your body. For example, nerves from the lower part of your body join your spinal cord in your lower back.
Your anaesthetist will inject the local anaesthetic, through a catheter (small plastic tube) that's been inserted into the epidural space in your lower back. This blocks the nerves in your spine that lead to the lower part of your body, stopping you feeling pain. The sensation will feel like you've got 'pins and needles'. Your anaesthetist can control how much feeling is lost, depending on the amount and type of medicines used. Different people require different doses of anaesthetic. And because it works for a short period of time, your anaesthetist will top up the anaesthetic to provide lasting pain relief.
Preparation Preparing for an epidural
Your anaesthetist will discuss with you what will happen before, during and after your epidural. This is a good time to make sure you understand what will happen. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Especially about the risks, benefits and any alternatives. This will help you to be informed, so you can give your consent for the epidural to go ahead.
An epidural isn't suitable for you if you have a blood-clotting problem. You must tell your midwife or anaesthetist if you're taking blood-thinning medicines, such as aspirin, warfarin or clopidogrel. An epidural may not be suitable for you if you've had an operation on your back. Ask your midwife or anaesthetist for more information.
Before your anaesthetist gives you an epidural, you will have a small tube (cannula) inserted into a vein in your hand or arm. You may have an intravenous drip set up too. This is used to give you fluids and medicines that you may need during labour. Your blood pressure and pulse will be monitored while your anaesthetist is putting in the epidural and at any time when the dose is topped up. Your baby will be monitored too, to ensure that he or she is safe during labour and birth.
Alternatives What are the alternatives?
There are several other methods of pain relief you can try if you don't wish to have an epidural. Talk to your midwife about the risks and benefits of these. Evidence shows that you're less likely to have an epidural if you're mainly cared for by a midwife during pregnancy and childbirth. However, this is only if you're at a low risk of complications.
- Combined spinal and epidural (CSE) anaesthesia. This involves an injection of a painkilling drug into your spine just before or after an epidural is put in place. It has the advantage of giving faster pain relief. Because you're having an epidural, you're still at risk of the side-effects and complications that can happen with an epidural.
- Gas and air (Entonox). This is a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen and is a mild painkiller. As you feel a contraction starting, you breathe the mixture in through a mouthpiece or a mask placed over your nose. It should make your contractions less painful. It can sometimes make you feel sick or light-headed for a short time.
- Opioid medicines. These are strong painkillers and include diamorphine, morphine and pethidine. Opioids are usually given by your midwife injecting them into a large muscle in your arm or leg. The pain relief is often limited and side-effects include making you feel sick, dizzy or very sleepy. Opioid medicines can also make your baby feel sleepy and can sometimes temporarily reduce your baby's ability to breathe at birth.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Four electrodes are placed on your back and electrical impulses are sent to your nerves to block the pain signal going from your uterus (womb) to your brain. You can change the strength of the electrical impulses to help control your pain. There's no strong evidence that TENS is effective at reliving pain in labour although some women may find it helpful.

The procedure What happens during an epidural?
You will be asked to lie on your side, with your knees drawn up and your chin tucked in. Alternatively, you may be asked to sit up on the bed and lean forward. Both positions open up the space between your vertebrae.
Your anaesthetist will carefully select a point to inject by feeling for specific bones in your spine and hips. Your anaesthetist will clean the skin on your back with a sterilising solution and give you an injection of local anaesthetic in this area. They will also cover your back in a sterile drape, with a square hole around the site of the epidural.
When your skin is numb, your anaesthetist will pass a larger, hollow needle into the epidural space. You may feel some pressure or a pushing sensation, but you shouldn't feel any pain. When the needle reaches the correct spot, he or she will insert a fine plastic tube (catheter) through the centre of the needle. Your anaesthetist will then remove the needle and leave the catheter in place, running from the epidural space to outside of your body. The catheter is held in place with adhesive tape.
Your anaesthetist will use the catheter to inject local anaesthetic and other pain relief medicines directly into the epidural space. After 15 to 20 minutes, your anaesthetist will confirm that the epidural is working by checking how sensitive your legs are to cold, such as with a cold spray or using a pinprick.
Your anaesthetist may attach a pump to the catheter so that you can have a top-up as and when you need it. You may be allowed to control the pump yourself. This is called patient-controlled epidural analgesia or PCEA.
It's very important that you stay still while your anaesthetist is preparing the site for the epidural injection. Especially while the epidural needle is being inserted. Any movement makes positioning the needle more difficult. When you no longer need any pain relief, the catheter is carefully withdrawn and the area is covered with a plaster.
When you no longer need any pain relief, the catheter is carefully withdrawn and the area is covered with a plaster.
Aftercare What to expect afterwards
After an epidural, you will need to rest until the effects of the anaesthetic have passed. You may not be able to feel or move your legs properly for a period of time after your epidural. This is normal but different for everyone. Your anaesthetist will monitor you closely to make sure the feeling in your legs return. It will also be difficult for you to pass urine while the epidural is still working so your catheter will remain in until the effects have worn off.
Risks What are the risks?
Epidurals are commonly performed and generally safe. However, in order to make an informed decision and give your consent, you need to be aware of the possible side-effects and the risk of complications of this procedure.
These are the unwanted, but mostly temporary effects of having an epidural. Common side-effects are listed here.
- Feeling dizzy or shivery.
- A drop in blood pressure. Your blood pressure will be checked regularly. If it drops, you may be given fluids or medicines to raise it back to normal.
- Loss of strength or control of your leg muscles. Your muscle strength will return with time after the epidural has been stopped.
- Difficulty passing urine. You may need to have a catheter fitted to drain urine from your bladder into a bag, until the effects of the epidural wear off.
- Itchy skin. This may happen with some medicines and your anaesthetist will change your medicine to deal with this.
This is when problems occur during or after the epidural. Most women don't have any complications. However, with any procedure involving anaesthesia there is a very small risk of an unexpected reaction to the anaesthetic. Complications specific to an epidural are uncommon but can include the following.
- Headache. The epidural needle may puncture the membrane covering your spinal cord and fluid can leak out. This is called a dural tap, which can cause a headache. This happens to about 1 in every 100 women. Headaches can last for a number of days and may need further treatment. You may need an epidural blood patch, which means that some of your blood is taken and injected near to the puncture where it will clot and seal the hole.
- Assisted birth. You may find it difficult to push. It's possible that your doctor may need to use forceps, a ventouse (vacuum extraction), or some similar assistance to help you to give birth.
- Infection in your back. This is very rare because your skin is cleaned before the sterile needle is inserted. If you develop an infection, the catheter will be removed, the infected area will be drained and you will need to take antibiotics. If you develop a fever after you've returned home, this could mean you have an infection. Contact the hospital or your GP for advice about what to do next.
- Nerve damage. This can range from long-term numbness to permanent damage, such as paralysis (complete loss of sensation and movement).
As with every procedure, there are some risks associated with an epidural. The chances of these happening are specific to you and differ for every person. Ask your surgeon or anaesthetist to explain how they apply to you.
Pros and cons Pros and cons
- An epidural gives good pain relief during labour for 95 out of 100 women.
- An epidural gives better pain relief than non-epidural pain relief.
- You may not need more analgesia/general anaesthetic if you need to have an assisted birth involving forceps, vacuum extraction or caesarean section. Although this isn't always the case.
- An epidural is only available in birthing units so you will not be able to have an epidural if you're having a home birth.
- If you have an epidural, you may not be able to move around easily during labour, although this depends on the type of epidural you have and the medicines used.
- You may not be able to feel the urge to push, and you may not be able to push effectively.
- An epidural can slow down your labour and you're more likely to need oxytocin to speed up the delivery.
- An epidural increases the chance of needing a vaginal instrumental birth – forceps or ventouse (vacuum delivery).
- If you have an epidural, you and your baby will need to be monitored more closely during labour. This may mean you can't walk around easily.
- The medicines used for epidurals cross the placenta to the baby and may cause short-term breathing problems in the baby and make the baby drowsy.
FAQs FAQs
Can I still push if I have an epidural during childbirth?
Yes, you can still push. But depending on the exact type of epidural you have, the epidural can make it difficult for you to feel when to push. The epidural may also affect how hard you can push.
An epidural won't stop you from pushing your baby out during delivery, but it will weaken your urge to push. This means you may find it difficult to feel when to push. The epidural may also relax the muscles in your pelvis, affecting how hard you can push. Because of this it may take longer for you to give birth. If your labour goes on for too long, it's possible you may become too tired to push.
Your midwife may suggest stopping the epidural when it's time to push. Stopping the epidural will help you feel the urge to push, but it also means you will begin to feel the pain of your contractions.
Your doctor may use forceps or a ventouse (vacuum extraction) to help you to give birth if you find it difficult to push hard enough. Forceps are like large tongs with curved ends that fit around your baby's head. Your doctor will pull gently on them while you push. A ventouse uses suction. A cup is placed on your baby's head and attached to a vacuum machine. The air is sucked out which attaches the cup strongly to your baby's head. Your doctor then pulls on the cup as you push.
Do I need to decide whether to have an epidural before I come to hospital, or can I decide as I'm giving birth?
No, you don't have to decide before you go to hospital but it's good to be informed about all the options. It's a good idea to talk to your midwife and make a birth plan early on in your pregnancy.
During your pregnancy you will have several check-ups with your midwife. It's a good idea to make a birth plan with your midwife during your pregnancy. This will help you decide how you would like your labour and birth to be managed and where you would like to give birth. The choices you make will influence whether an epidural is available when you give birth or not. For example, it's very unlikely that you will have access to an epidural if you have a home birth.
If you decide to give birth to your baby in hospital, you will have a wider choice of pain relief methods available to you. You can decide before you go into labour that you would like to have an epidural. Or if you're planning to have a natural birth, you can change your mind at any time during labour and ask for an epidural.
It's a good idea to discuss pain relief, including epidural pain relief, with your midwife before you come into hospital. This gives you an opportunity to find out what services your hospital offers and you can ask your midwife to explain the benefits and risks of having an epidural.
Will an epidural affect my memory of the birth or stop me from holding my baby immediately after birth?
No, an epidural won't affect your memory or stop you from holding your baby after birth.
An epidural involves injection of local anaesthetic and/or pain-relief medicines. These medicines will block pain in the lower part of your body, but shouldn't affect your memory. Immediately after the birth, your baby will usually be handed to you so that you have skin-to-skin contact if you wish. You may also want to put your baby to your breast.
Will I be able to see what the surgeon is doing during a caesarean delivery under epidural anaesthesia?
No, during the operation your abdominal (tummy) area is shielded from you, so you won't be able to see your surgeon perform the operation. However, you may be able to ask for the screen to be lowered to see your baby being born.
If you have a caesarean delivery under epidural anaesthesia you will stay awake during the operation. You won't feel any pain from your waist down, but you may feel some pushing or pulling during the operation.
You will be lying on your back during the operation. A raised sheet or shield is usually placed just below your breasts as a screen to hide your abdominal area from your view. However, you may be able to ask for the screen to be lowered to see your baby being born.
Your surgeon will usually ask your birth partner to sit beside you at the top end of the table. This means your birth partner won't be able to see the operation either.
Your surgeon will make a cut through your abdomen and carefully deliver your baby. Usually you will be able to see and hold your baby immediately after the birth. The raised sheet or shield will only be removed after your surgeon has closed your wound and dressed it.
Will an epidural cause me to have backache in the long term?
No, there is no evidence that epidurals lead to long-term backache.
The effect of an epidural is short-term and there is no lasting injury to your back. Therefore, there's no reason why you will have long-term backache. Studies of women during labour found no difference in the incidence of long-term backache between women who had an epidural and those who did not.
Short-term backache after surgery is a common side-effect that happens to about one in 100 people. It may be caused by lying on a firm, flat operating table, but isn't affected by the type of anaesthesia you have.
You may have some slight bruising or soreness where the needle was inserted. This usually settles without treatment.
If you have backache after your operation that gets worse, you need to contact your surgeon or the hospital where you had the operation. It's very rare, but you may have an infection. This happens to less than one in 100,000 women. You would need to have the area drained and be treated with antibiotics.
Before you have an epidural you will have an opportunity to meet your anaesthetist and surgeon. They will explain how the risks and complications of your procedure relate to you.

I am puzzled by Ofqual's allegations that teachers' overmarking of coursework was responsible for examination problems. While it is possible that teachers overmark, all coursework is subject to moderation by moderators appointed by the examination boards. Surely they would have adjusted the marks if they detected overmarking.
Examiners and moderators do not award grades; they only award marks. The grade boundaries are set by the senior officials of the board. If the officials believed that there was overmarking by teachers, then they could have adjusted grade boundaries. Ofqual's allegations reek of blame-shifting.
Francis Beswick
It is, of course, disgraceful that some teachers are pressured into giving higher marks for coursework than they believe their pupils deserve. But the reaction of Ofqual is no less shocking.
In order to ensure that there is no rise in the number of candidates achieving a grade C, they have raised the marks required. This has the effect of penalising those teachers and their pupils who have not cheated, by giving them a lower grade than they deserve.
It is perverse to punish virtue, and, rather than tinkering with grades, a much more radical reform of public examinations is needed.
George MacDonald Ross
Ofqual's action tells the world: "If you go to a school that does not cheat we will mark you down from your correct entitlement and blight your future – so be warned."
Ofqual has only one option: live with the grade inflation and list the schools whose marking was up, so that universities and employers are warned that their results may be inflated.
Jon Hawksley
London EC1
The point about the English GCSE fiasco is not the issue of what constitutes cheating. It is that in terms of ability at English the margin between C and D is minuscule. Yet upon this unmeasurable difference we make hang the pupil's future, our view of the quality of the school, and the teacher's hopes of preferment. What a nonsense!
Keith Rumsey
After the storm, we need to work on the climate
Dr John Cameron (letter, 1 November) says that "to attribute hurricane Sandy to man-made global warming, when using insufficient observational data and coarse mathematical models, brings climate science into disrepute".
That it may do, but I care not for the reputation of climate science, and rather more for the existence of mankind on this planet. It is true that we cannot prove beyond doubt that these weather conditions are man-made, but climate change deniers miss the point.
If we do not take steps to reduce the effect of our lifestyle on the planet right now, soon we won't be here anyway. If it is proved that it isn't man-made, and we still take steps to reduce the effect, in 20 years' time we can all have a laugh about it. At least we'll still be here to laugh.
We need to emphasise that steps must be taken now, and I praise The Independent's journalists for their coverage. We cannot afford to take the risk.
Penny Joseph
Shoreham-by-sea, West Sussex
Like Alan Hinnrichs (letter, 31 October), I thought about New York being devastated by a hurricane, and that it was a foretaste of the growing climatic mayhem expected during the next few decades. And it is happening in the centre of civilisation, not in some distant tropical land.
Many US cities affected seem to have coped well with the evacuation of vulnerable residents, but tunnels for traffic and utilities have been less amenable to protection. It is not clear whether the emergency efforts had a unified plan or were just a rapid response.
Both eventualities have a common remedy, however: adaptation. Increased sea defences, flood alleviation schemes, tunnel protection, refuge areas for both humans and livestock and, of course, robust evacuation plans, are just some measures that require working on. None of it will be cheap, but neither are the alternatives being played out in New York right now.
Adaptation will be necessary whatever the success of climate amelioration. Such success will not come overnight; it is estimated as needing 30-40 years to show any reversal. During that period adaptation is going to be essential.

Americans are people too
I am sure that I am not the only reader of The Independent to be worried about the welfare of much-loved friends in New York. One of mine managed to maintain her email connection and was able to keep me updated.
She told me of one young mother who lost both her children, aged four and two. They were swept away from her into the deluge. She could hear the elder shouting for her, and she could do nothing.
But to such as John Crocker (letter, 1 November) I am "wittering on about the misfortune of a minority of the richest nation on earth". Pass the sickbag!
Ian Craine
London N15
What a brilliant letter from John Crocker : "It is time the media in the UK broke the thrall in which they seem to be held by the US." Hear! Hear!
In the same issue was an article about the chief of police in Oakland. Oakland? Where's that? There's nowhere in Britain with that name. It wasn't until I read the byline that I realised that the article was about Oakland, California, USA. But of course we were expected to know that, even though it is around 6,000 miles from here.
In contrast, in a recent article you felt it necessary to explain that Hamburg is a city in north-west Germany. It's only about 200 miles from the east coast of England, for goodness sake! Some of us have even been there.

Managing the fish in the sea
How we continue to provide fish as food to the world is an extremely important debate ("Ethical eating? It's a fishy business", 12 October). The UK exports most of what it catches (435,000 tonnes in 2011) and imports what it wants to eat.
We catch and export langoustine, crab, herring and mackerel and import cod, haddock and prawns. Most of our cod and haddock comes from Iceland and Norway, where stocks are at all-time highs. The issue is predominantly one of national taste and not of fish stocks.
The assertion that fish numbers in our oceans are dwindling does not tell the whole story. There are fish stock increases in many of the areas from which we source our fish. These increases are not down to luck; they are the result of careful management, technological improvements and joint working between the industry and environmental groups.
Indeed, contrary to some commonly held perceptions, wild whitefish supplies are predicted to rise by 16 per cent by next year. There is a long way to go to ensure over-fishing stops completely but we are making progress.
We should be protecting fish stocks, but also recognising that all food production has impacts and without fishing we would just be shifting intolerable environmental burdens to other areas.

Legally married in a mosque
Your report on the Scientologist marriage case (25 October) refers to Britain's "complicated marriage laws", so it is perhaps understandable that it states them inaccurately.
It is not true that Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus "have to get married in civil ceremonies and then receive religious blessings". They may do that, but, just like, for example, Catholics, they may register their buildings so that a religious marriage performed there by an authorised person will be a legal marriage.
Recently a Muslim couple who were married in a registered mosque by an imam, believing it would be a legally recognised marriage, were held to have contracted a legal marriage even though the imam thought he was conducting "only" a religious ceremony, and did not formally register the marriage.
In 2010 there were 198 Muslim and 168 Sikh buildings of worship in which legally recognised marriages could be solemnised.

US warplanes at the ready
Our local free newspaper tells us that US fighter aircraft based at the naively named "RAF" Lakenheath will be operating night-flights all this week. Well that's good, as our nights here in sleepy Suffolk are too damn quiet.
But when you report possible British intervention in the Middle East, a seriously dangerous possibility arises: the US night-flights are the precursor to yet another war in that volatile region, and that our foreign policy is again set to trot along at the heels of the US.

What an interesting map you published of all the hostile military bases ringing Iran (2 November). If ever a state needed nuclear weapons to deter aggressors it is Iran, whereas the UK's nuclear submarine fleet is a mere vanity project and big earner for "defence" contractors.

Why you should get out and vote
Whether or not you support the principle of elected police commissioners, failing to record a vote or the spoiling of ballot papers, as suggested by your recent correspondents, is a potentially dangerous course of action.
Bear in mind the warning of an early political commentator who said: "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
His name was Plato and he lived almost 2,500 years ago, but his words are as true today as they have always been.

Gay men in cloth caps
Rugby league is, according to popular myth, a sport played only in the North by reactionary, illiberal types, or, to use the words of Michael Herd, once of the London Evening Standard: "A game for ape-like creatures, watched by gloomy men in cloth caps". Who would have thought that the Leeds-based Rugby Football League would win Stonewall's award as the sporting body doing most to tackle homophobia?
Perhaps this perennially disregarded sport could teach football, and especially the FA, a thing or two about inclusivity.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
City waste crews collected 10.5 tons of illegally dumped trash from a Wilmington neighborhood this month as part of a joint crime prevention effort between multiple city departments to help revitalize crime-prone neighborhoods. More than $200,000 has been approved within the city's new budget to keep the effort going into the next fiscal year.
The city collected several pieces of furniture, piles of cardboard and bags of trash in the neighborhood that were either illegally dumped or left in the right-of-way for pickup, according to City of Wilmington Spokeswoman Malissa Talbert. Waste crews worked on this effort during the first two weeks of June in the Longleaf Park area that spans between Shipyard Boulevard and Raleigh Street, to Carolina Beach Road and Vance Street.
Crews collected trash from 117 properties and distributed information to educate homeowners, landlords and tenants on the proper disposal of trash and bulky items such as furniture and electronics, Talbert said. The Longleaf area is the second targeted neighborhood since the crime prevention effort began earlier this year.
Since February, the city's police department and code enforcement staff began working jointly with solid waste crews to help clean up neighborhoods in the wide-scale crime prevention effort. City crews hit a total of 71 properties that month in the first targeted area between 7th and 13th streets and collected about 14 tons of illegally dumped debris from the streets.
While the cleanups are a "short-term" fix, Talbert said the overall project is part of a long-term solution that will focus on educating property owners and enforcing public nuisance regulations when needed. The multi-departmental approach is the city's solution to help address the "broken window" theory of community policing that more crime occurs in dilapidated or poorly maintained areas.
"It's just a phenomena that attracts negative attention," Wilmington Police Department Assistant Police Chief Jim Varrone said of the theory, adding that officers will continue to help identify neighborhoods in need of the project. The project is one of many under the police department's newly formed Office of Strategic Enforcement and Outreach (OSEO), which Varrone now spearheads.

Varrone said police will be "making the rounds this summer" with the hopes to move to another neighborhood closer to Wilmington's inner city. Throughout the project, Varrone said police will be maintaining communication with the city's code enforcement to help find properties that appear to be below-code or have poor living conditions.
"We're are going to do this as long as we can. This is not going to be a quick fix," Varrone said.
Trash crews worked overtime for the first two cleanups, Talbert said. But within the recently approved new budget, which begins July 1, is $30,000 allocated for the clean-up effort. The funds include community outreach and items for trash crews such as fuel, Talbert said.
Also included in the new budget is $84,000 for an additional code enforcement officer to help along nuisance abatements in the city separate from the trash removal initiative.
Another $120,000 has also been included for asbestos surveys, abatement and demolition violation cases that will aid in site cleanups. The new budget for the 2016-2017 was unanimously approved at the Wilmington City Council meeting Tuesday night.

This is why...Mature
The newspaper says that that bastard is getting a promotion, that he's climbing the corporate ladder straight to the top on the backs of those that have sweated, bled and cried for him. Nowhere does it say that behind his plastic smile lies a monster in wait to snatch up his next victim, to ruin someone else. There is no subtext, no malice hidden between the lines of the article and I can feel my blood boil as I crumple the side of the paper in my hand.
"Now do you want to tell me why you can't leave this apartment?"
"You already fucking know, why do I have to say it?" I demanded of him. He sips at his wine before removing the newspaper from my hand. He clasps it with his own to still its shaking.
"Because if you don't say it, it will consume you. It's what's keeping you prisoner in here, isn't it?"
I could feel the dams breaking from the calmness of his voice, the way he massaged my fingers as he talked. Tears pooled in the corners of my eyes and I couldn't force them back even though I tried. I lowered my face, letting my hair curtain around it to hide the tears from his searching gaze but I could still feel him get up from his chair and encircle me in his arms.
"It's okay, I already know. I won't judge you," he whispered close to my ear. His fingers worked themselves through my hair and I couldn't stop my mouth from saying the words that I wanted to keep secret from the world.
"He raped me."
"Whispering it isn't going to help you."
"He raped me," I said a little louder. He picked up the newspaper and held up the picture so I could see it.
"What did he do to you? What did the man in this picture do?"
"The man in that picture raped me!" I nearly screamed at the picture, unable to stop the torrents that streamed down my cheeks. He let go of my hand and I buried my face in them, I didn't want him to see.

Anderson, ranked as the No. 14 safety in the country by Scout.com, still denies a leader but favors Michigan State, Ohio State, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Cincinnati. He claims all of his favorites have offered, including the Buckeyes.
"I talked with (cornerbacks) coach Taver Johnson about a month ago," Anderson said. "He said they are offering me and that I'd be getting the letter in the mail. I haven't gotten it yet though.
"I love the tradition at Ohio State," he said. "It's my hometown and they are always a winning program. It's big time football there."
Anderson says he grew up following Michigan State despite his Ohio roots and is officially visiting the Spartans this weekend. "They have a good program," he said. "The coaches are good people and I like the team a lot. I really want to see what they are all like outside of football."
Anderson already took an official visit to West Virginia on Oct. 17. "It was a lot of fun," he said. "I liked it a lot. The team chemistry is great. I like how they are all really tight."
The Mountaineers beat Marshall 24-7 during his official visit. "It was really intense during the game," he said. "It's a great atmosphere."
He says that West Virginia is also recruiting him the hardest. "I talk to them about every week," he said. "They are all cool. They take time to talk to me about school and stuff and more than just football."
The school that has looked the best to Anderson so far this year is Cincinnati. "They've really impressed me," he said. "They are a top five team in the nation right now."
Of his favorites, Anderson admits that he's hearing the least from Tennessee. "I haven't really talked with them much," he said.
Anderson says he doesn't have a timeframe for making a decision.
"I'm going to compare everything," he said. "I'm seeing how the football programs are and how the players are."
He reports a 2.7 core GPA and an 850 SAT and 16 ACT. He'll retake both but hasn't scheduled a date yet.

Our family has two Acer laptops, one Acer netbook, and an Acer tablet. We've been thoroughly satisfied with each one, so I decided to go for this desktop package.
Everything is fully integrated from the factory. There is no need to install additional software or drivers for the monitor. Just hook everything up and turn it on. The system actually has 8GB of RAM and is noticeably faster than my dual core 2.2 GHZ laptop. According to my UPS readout, the combined power draw of the system unit and the monitor is about 80 watts.
Initially CD Audio discs and DVD Movie discs would not autoplay. I went to Autoplay in the Control Panel and set Windows Media Player as the default for each type of disc. After that, Autoplay worked perfectly.
One of the reasons I decided to go back to a desktop is to get another system running Windows 7 Home Premium. I think Windows 7 is the best Operating System I've ever used. I recommend thoroughly investigating Windows 8 Pro before upgrading.
I've had to contact Acer support twice. Support is terrible!!!!!!!
The box does not list the quick swap hard drive bay that is included. Support had no information about this, fortunately an educated Best Buy salesperson was able to advise me as to which harddrive to buy. It was easy to install and is an excellent solution for backup. Also the box does not list that it is dual monitor capable. Love this feature!
My other problem is that it has never autoplayed any dvd's or cd's. Again Acer support is terrible. They tell you to use "Answers by Acer" which is fee based. I'm an intermediate user and have looked at every possible solution I can find. I will have to live with the lack of auto play because I resent having to pay for support on a brand new computer. I would return this computer if I could. Walmart only allows 15 day and I have had this for a month now.
Even tho I really like all the features of this bundle the terrible support from Acer is the reason I am not recommending this computer.
So many systems require purchasing additional items, i.e., additional video cards, memory, etc.,--this system pretty much had it all. The size of the monitor is wonderful, as well as great color. And there are a number of additional USB-2 ports, as well as 2 USB-3 ports on the tower. The only criticism I have is--and it's down in the noise level--is the raised keys (f & J)--could stand to be a little higher for the "touch."
Had this 2 mos. Fast - reliable - meets or exceeds all expectations. Only drawbacks are: 1) They tell you how to wire every type of monitor in existence but don't tell you what type of monitor the system is shipped with -had to call Acer - wasn't even in the monitor manual. 2) Speakers are really weak. Don't throw your old ones ( and the driver software ) away like I did. Still these are minor. Don't forget to evaluate the 3 year extended warranty - only $69. vs. $200 from most electronics/computer stores.
Am really happy with my Acer! Glad I found such a deal! Great monitor, great computer! Still figuring out Windows 7, but that will come with time. Excellent choice, would do it again!
I love this computer! Meets and exceeds all expectations! Screen is excellent and the computer is fast! LOVE IT!
This was a family gift for my little girls. Fully understanding that they will grow to beautiful ladies someday, figured this will help them in education & in family entertainment as well. Their future school projects should be a little easier with this awesome desktop. Plenty of hard drive space with one whole terabyte. Especially the variety of card reader options for them to choose from. No more running to Walgreen's or photo section to do their pictures from their sandisks. Very impressive large monitor which brings everything to life in full bright color. Ready to go, right out of the box, this was not only a quick & easy setup but, it configured to our printer right away. Instructionals were very helpful & easy to understand. Was most impressed with the quick, no hassle ship-to-store pickup. Was very convenient way to Christmas shop for my family. Thank you again.
the speed is much better than my dell had. the monitor has a great clear picture and everything runs great on the computur.
This Acer desktop was a total disaster. I had to return the first unit because the dvd drive did not open and the installation disk could not be inserted. Then the exchange unit was opened and I found the unit totally smashed in the box and totally unusable so I eventually had to get my money back after 2 attempts. The quality was plastic and poorly constructed. Overall it was the worst nightmare ever in a computer purchase.
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my hubby. I couldn't stand another minute of moaning about his S-L-O-W, 10 year old computer. I think he was happier than me when it arrived ;-) He loved the monitor that came with the package. It gives him so much room on his desk compared to his old bulky one. It has a clear, bright picture. Of course the speakers are nothing to rave about but it is not a concern for him.
The processor is very fast, and it had a minimal amount of pre-loaded bloat ware. We upgraded the pre-loaded Microsoft programs to Microsoft Home and Business as we wanted Microsoft Outlook and it was not on this machine. We also loaded two other large programs without a hitch. I personally did not like the keyboard. It seems to me that the finger pads need to be elevated and need a little more space in between them but, he is using it. The package price was great and delivery was fast. I would definitely purchase this package again.
I have to go looking for him now because I don't even know when he is in his computer room because he sits there quietly without complaints.
There is now peace again in our home.
We bought this for my son to play some games and my wife to web browse and basic computer tasks. The monitor is large and beautiful, the speakers leave something to be desired however we're talking speakers in a monitor can't expect too much now can we? We wound up using a keyboard and mouse we had on hand but there's nothing wrong with whats in the box.
Overall its a great value. would buy again.
Arrived with sound not working. The USB 3.0 was also not working. I spent about 2 hours with the Acer support people and the bottom line is it was a hardware problem and I should send it in for repairs. I took it back to WalMart for a full refund
i have only had this for one week but i think this is a very good product. It is very fast and has lots of usb drives and i would reccomend it.
so it can't communicate with the printer or the wirless access point! What's the use having it if it can't commuicate!
acer products are global...i was looking forward to using my new desktop pc.
as it turns out i had several problems from the get go: 1) it wouldn't download any drivers that i needed
for my existing peripherals and software; 2) it wouldn't download any version of yahoo messenger; 3) it took a long long long time for the pc to restart or reboot
it could just be me since i'm no techie, but even my old dell performed as advertised...
so i returned the unit to walmart after 2 days of trying to tinker with it...i must say, returning items at walmart is HASSLE-FREE!!!!!!!
Received this computer 2 days earlier than expected which was the only plus to entire transaction. The computer ran for less than 12 hrs when it no longer would even turn on. After multiple hours with tech support via telephone with the Acer Company, I contacted the warranty people and was told to return computer to the Walmart Store and reorder another one online. I returned computer and went to another store and purchased another computer that was not an Acer.
I bought this PC when it was on clearance for about $525 (Pretty good price!) and it works really well. The 1TB hard drive and Intel CPU is amazing. The only complaint I have with the computer is the fact that they advertise it as a gaming PC but, the graphics card is really bad. If you are looking into this for gaming, I would replace the GPU! If you're not a huge gamer, it will do you tons of good as far as performance goes.
I got this 2 weeks ago. So far, so good. Everything works as expected.
It has hdmi and dvi video output, but the monitor is only dvi - so, separate speakers are required.
The monitor is sharp when viewed straight on, but off axis viewing is very dark.
Fan noise is not loud, but it is certainly noticeable in a quiet office.
Excellent computer but wireless not built in. There was no slot wireless card on motherboard have to use USB antenna. Other than that its really fast. No complaints yet have only had for 1 week. :)

Keri Putnam has known about this injustice and FRAUD that is going on, yet for over 3 YEARS she has done NOTHING about it. My film I submitted this year was a great film, on all standards. After discovering the information about Sundance and their scams, and lawsuits, I finally learned the truth why none of my films have gooten in for over 12 years now. Not ONE TIME!
Sundance Film Festival its programmers, Board Members and Institute comes under fire for fraud, theft, and deceptive business practice, yet no one from the press knows about it, or wants to confront and tackle the issues and report the "truth".
Last year a filmmaker went to court against the Sundance Film Festival for fraud and theft, yet not a single film magazine, or on-line film news source mentioned it, ( Indiewire, Film Threat, Independent Filmmaker, Filmmaker Magazine, and many more. This was all cleverly covered up very carefully and effectively by Sundance who spends significant amounts of money for advertising and promoting the film festival in all their publications, so no wonder why they dare not mention this, they accept money just like Sundance does from the 10's of thousands of gullible filmmakers all being duped by the "system". [continued below]....
Keri Putnam you a W**** AND A CROOK! All filmakers everywhere stand up, and John Cooper? Dont even get me started.

On prend les mêmes et on recommence. That is what Robert Pires feared as he walked off the pitch after Arsenal's 2-1 defeat by Chelsea in the Champions' League quarter-final second leg. "I had this awful feeling we were about to repeat the same mistakes as the season before," the French midfielder says. "I think a lot of us were worried we might finish the season without a trophy again." Cue Patrick Vieira.
The Arsenal captain may not be the loudest on the pitch, but off it, especially in difficult times, he is not afraid to be heard. As his dejected team-mates traipsed back into their Highbury changing room following their first defeat by Chelsea in 17 matches, Vieira decided to rally the troops. "He would have been entitled to tell us how disappointed he was with our performance," Pires recalls, "but, no, instead he started to praise us. His view was that we should be proud of having reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup and the quarter-finals of the Champions' League. He wanted us to keep our chins up and make sure we did not let the Premiership slip away, too."
The pep talk worked. The Arsenal players have put the double cup disappointment behind them and kept their unbeaten Premiership challenge on course. Providing Chelsea fail to overcome Newcastle in the early-afternoon match today, a win - or perhaps even a draw - for Arsenal against their north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur would secure them the title by six o'clock this evening. How the Arsenal players would relish lifting the trophy at White Hart Lane, to follow in the studmarks of the Double-winning side of 1971.
Avoiding defeat would also extend Arsenal's unbeaten run to 34 games and delay the celebrations by no more than six days, when they entertain Birmingham City at Highbury. "Obviously, we would love to wrap up the title as soon as possible," Pires says, "but there is no panic. The important thing is to win. The timing comes second."
And the unbeaten record? "To be honest," Pires says, "we are not thinking about it as much as the title. Of course, going a whole season without losing would be an incredible achievement, particularly in this very challenging and physical League, but the priority is to win the Premiership. Anything more is a bonus."
With Arsenal poised to cross the finishing line, pencils are being sharpened for the obligatory end-of-term reports. Most observers will no doubt look favourably on a side who have, at times, played mesmerising football. Many, though, will forever look upon 2003-04 as the season of what might have been. Why does a campaign that promised so much in early spring feel like a relative failure three weeks later? "We are just as disappointed as anyone else," Pires concedes. "We're hurting, too, but the truth is that sometimes in football you lose games; we have to accept that.
"The reason our two recent defeats stand out so much is because they came in big knockout matches against big teams like Man U [in the FA Cup semi-finals] and Chelsea [in the Champions' League quarters]. But that happens, especially in these one-off games where everything can change in a split second. We could just as easily have won those two ties. The margins are very tight at that level."
Despite the bravado, one can detect a tinge of regret in Pires's voice. "Look," he says, "we felt we had a great opportunity to win three trophies this season. We knew that whoever won our FA Cup semi-final would have one hand on the trophy, and we know we missed a trick against Chelsea, too, not least because Real Madrid were knocked out by Monaco." Chelsea's débâcle in Monte Carlo on Tuesday night only frustrated the Arsenal players still further. "It's the same thing with the FA Cup, because we would have fancied our chances against Millwall. It's sad, but we must not be too downbeat. Pat [Vieira] told us to be proud and he was right, because the main reason why everybody notices our rare defeats is that we are expected to win all our matches. We have set such high standards that any blip stands out."
By reaching the latter stages of four competitions (the Gunners also lost to Middlesbrough in the semi-finals of the League Cup), Arsenal unwittingly created a rod for their own backs. "If you set out to be the best, then everyone wants to gun you down," Pires says. "That's something we have to get used to living with. Both United and Chelsea were more determined than ever ahead of those Cup games. Perhaps they were more desperate for the win than us. It's unfortunate, but we'll learn from our mistakes and come back stronger than ever next season."
Behind the scenes, the internal investigations have already begun. The Arsenal manager is rarely guilty of errors of judgement, but one wonders whether Arsène Wenger was right to leave his, and the country's, best striker, Thierry Henry, on the bench for the FA Cup semi-final against United? The 1-0 defeat would suggest not. Wenger insisted the player was not fully fit, but why, then, take a risk by bringing him on for the final 20 minutes?
The decision was all the more questionable because Henry then had his worst night of the season three days later in the Champions' League quarter-final defeat to Chelsea. Two selection decisions do not a season make, but they do help to illustrate quite how much Arsenal rely on Henry.
Pires would not be drawn on the issue, preferring instead to focus on the positives. "The manager has made some fantastic decisions for this club over the years," the midfielder says, "and again this season. It was thanks to him that we recovered from the 3-0 home loss to Inter Milan [in the opening game of the group stages of the Champions' League back in September]. People said we looked finished then, but we knuckled down, got our act together in training and then went to the San Siro to win 5-1 in the return fixture. That proved we stay united in defeat and in victory."
This season has also demonstrated that the players are fast learners. Unlike last year, when they dominated the first part of the Premiership campaign before tailing off dramatically in the final few weeks, Arsenal have stayed the course this time around. "Hopefully we will show the same willingness to improve next season," Pires adds. "If we do, then who knows what we can achieve."
The Henry phenomenon: One statistic tells the story - 29 goals with five games left. Only Alan Shearer (three times), Andy Cole and Kevin Phillips have scored 30 times in a Premiership season. Cole holds the record with 34.
Two-one to the Arsenal: No more one-nil - they have only won twice like that (v Blackburn and Southampton). Most common scoreline (eight times) has been 2-1, followed by 2-0 (four times), highlighting their increased strike-power.
Familiarity breeds contentment: Jens Lehmann (33), Thierry Henry (32), Kolo Touré (31), Sol Campbell and Robert Pires (30) have played in 92 per cent or more games.
The winning habit: Arsenal's unbeaten run of 35 matches is a top-flight record, eclipsing Leeds's run of 34. They were last beaten in the League, coincidentally by Leeds, last May.
His master's voice: Arsène Wenger has won the Barclaycard Manager of the Month award three times.Reuse content
