BRAVE COMMAND found only one to good on his racecourse debut at Folkestone last month. With that form already in the book, he gets the vote ahead of some likely looking newcomers including stablemate and American-bred Filfil. 72,000gns purchase Derwentwater is another to consider while a half-brother to Alcaeus made a winning debut so Sir Mark Prescott's colt is worth noting. Veturia, Intimidate and Abraq have shown glimpses of promise and Elhaame will have come on for the experience of his debut at Newmarket and should finish closer.
Abraq 40-1 (9-3) Towards rear, ridden 2f out, stayed on towards finish, never nearer, 5th of 9, 4l behind Al Waab (9-3) at Newmarket 7f 2yo mdn (5) sft in Jul.
Alcaeus Hernando colt out of Alvarita.
Big Thunder Dalakhani colt out of Charlotte O Fraise.
Brave Command (USA) 3-1 (9-3) Held up, headway inside final 2f, stayed on well, nearest finish, 2nd of 10, 1 1/2l behind Ayaar (9-3) at Folkestone 7f 2yo mdn (5) gf in Jul.
Caramack 7-2 (9-3) Held up in mid-division on inside, pushed along and staying on same pace when slightly hampered over 1f out, weakened final furlong, 8th of 10, 8l behind Hot Diggity (9-3) at Sandown 7f 2yo mdn (5) gd in Jul.
Derwentwater (IRE) Raven's Pass gelding out of Waterways.
Echo Brava Proclamation colt out of Snake Skin.
Elhaame (IRE) 20-1 (9-3) In touch, pushed along halfway, ridden over 2f out, weakened 2f out, 8th of 18, 14l behind Ghurair (9-3) at Newmarket 7f 2yo mdn (4) sft in Jul.
Filfil (USA) Hard Spun colt out of Dixietwostepper.
Grilletto (USA) 50-1 (9-3) Chased leaders, pushed along halfway, weakened 3f out, 13th of 18, 18l behind Ghurair (9-3) at Newmarket 7f 2yo mdn (4) sft in Jul.

February is African-American History month: a chance for people of all races to remember or learn about events that shaped the U.S. civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The growing interest in the civil rights movement is boosting tourism in communities where it took place.
The U.S. civil rights movement of the 1960s, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a painful chapter in American history that attracted world-wide attention. Millions of African-Americans took part in marches and non-violent protests for equal rights and justice. For Blacks, the civil rights struggle did not come without sacrifices. Throughout southern U.S. states, racial segregation, hatred, and violence was a way of life.
Now more than 40 years later, despite the painful memories of the past, there's been a surge of interest in the history of the civil rights movement. No community in the country has done more to promote civil rights tourism than Atlanta, Georgia.
"It is important that we share the lessons that we learn because I think that the rest of the world can be changed without violence, says Andrew Young, former mayor of Atlanta. "There can be justice and freedom established."
Mr. Young was one of Dr. King's most trusted aides. As church ministers, the two organized and led hundreds of marches and protests during the 1960s. Mr. Young says Atlanta has generated millions of dollars from civil rights tourism capitalizing on its reputation as the birthplace of the movement.
"I think as people come through here and begin to see how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they work together in the power of God," said Mr. Young.
The biggest tourist attraction in Atlanta is the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site. Located in a downtown neighborhood along Auburn Avenue, the area was established to preserve, protect and tell the story of where Dr. King was born, where he worked, worshiped and is buried. It's the third most visited place among America's 77 national historic sites. People from across the country and around the world come here to discover more about the civil rights leader and the movement he led.
"Remembering the March on Washington in 1963 was some kind of an awaking for me I guess back then and when we talked about coming down here to Atlanta we said we had to see this place," said Bill Swanson, who was visiting from Ohio.
Janet Langston and her boyfriend, Thomas, visited Atlanta from Memphis, Tennessee. They were not even born during the civil rights movement but wanted to walk the same path Dr. King did years ago.
"I think it is a good thing to have a place like this so people can come and visit from all walks of life so people can get different views maybe from what they heard in school or maybe did not hear anything at all in school, to learn facts, to maybe know a little bit more about Martin Luther King's family and know where he came from and his views," said Janet.
Last year, 666,000 tourists visited the King site, a 60 percent increase since 1999. Many people want to see the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. King was pastor and held many civil rights strategy sessions. It was also the place where tens of thousands gathered for his funeral in 1968. Dr. King was assassinated a week earlier in Memphis, Tennessee.
Earl Jenkins who grew up in the Atlanta neighborhood around the King site says it's a national treasure.
"I think people from all over the world, all nationalities should come to Auburn Avenue just to see where Dr. King got started and learn about what he lived for and died for," said Mr. Jenkins.
This is the King Visitors Center, a place developed by the U-S Park Service where tourists can learn about Dr. King's legacy and view exhibits illustrating the struggles African-Americans endured for equal rights.
Frank Catroppa, who runs the King Historic Site, says people want to feel and touch the places that changed the lives of so many.
"I think people want to know the stories. A lot of people would tell us in the past well do not dredge up that, it's all old we are moving along now but it is important to tell those stories. Primarily sites and museums are attracting more and more visitors because most people are getting their knowledge of the history of this country from the museums and national historic sites. And while our exhibits are special and tell a great story there is nothing like being in the sense of place like the birth home and the church," said Mr. Catroppa.
The increase in civil rights tourism here has helped revitalize this historically-black neighborhood after years of neglect and economic decline. Now this area known as Sweet Auburn, lined with churches and black-owned businesses, is being fixed up. There are housing renovations and new business moving into the place once called the richest Negro street in the world.
"People who come on these historic tours they actually spend more time and more money in the cities than people who are coming to a baseball game or going to the Super Bowl. They bring their families and they spend a lot of time so a site like this has had a tremendous economic impact and will continue to have an economic impact," says Mr. Catroppa.
Now other cities across the south have built or are building new civil rights museums and memorials to cash in on the interest in civil rights history and the tourism dollars it is generating.

Your Eyebrows Shape Color And Style
Beautiful Eyebrows
Eyebrows are a very significant and prominent facial feature and one that three out of every five women do not utilize as a powerful beauty asset. Your eyebrows are also one of the most distinctive features that make up our faces and you can surprise your face by attention to them.
The scientific roles of eyebrows is to protect our eyes from moisture such as rain or sweat, and are aptly designed to accommodate this, the natural arch of your eyebrows diverts water or sweat around to each side of your face. Your eyebrows are also your most expressive facial feature and your body language and is easily read through your eyebrows.
Shaping and coloring your eyebrows can enhance your eyes beautifully and also be used to contour facial features. An instant face-lift A side effect of the natural aging process is sadly thinning and greying of your eyebrows, the right eyebrow shape and color can take ten years off your face.
Shaping And Defining Your Eyebrows
The natural drooping of our eyelids as we age can be counterbalanced by creating more of an arch, this alone can give the illusion of an instant face lift.
Your brows should begin directly over the tear duct at the inner corner of your eye and rise in a gentle curve along the brow bone.
The highest point of your eyebrow arch should be even with the outer edge of your eye's iris, tapering down and ending at the outside corner of your eye.
To define your ideal brow length, line up a pencil parallel to the bridge of your nose and then at an angle across the outer edge of your eye.
To define your ideal brow length, line up a pencil parallel to the bridge of your nose and then at an angle across the outer edge of your eye. Accent the natural arch by tweezing any hairs that fall under your arch.
There is a split decision as to plucking hairs above the arch, some women have found that plucking above a thick heavy brow can make their foreheads look less heavy.
Do not over pluck your eyebrows, it can take up to eight weeks for eyebrows to grow back, and in some cases grow back sparsely or not at all.
If you have your eyebrows close to your desired shape, they should still be included in your makeup routine, try brushing your eyebrows straight up and then brush into shape.
If you want to do contouring or a little more filling in use light feathered strokes for a soft natural look. A little angled brush is great for shaping.
Use these simple tricks to make your eyebrows seem thinner apply your color only in the center of each brow.
If you want to achieve a fuller brow apply the color evenly throughout your brow using the blending brush.
To emphasis the natural shape of your brow, brush them up and then to the right using the angled brush.
Your Eyebrows Shape Color And Style As You Age
Many women have short brow lines naturally and many loose their eyebrow length as they age, the goal is to bring your brows out to their proper length. Eyebrow wax holds to your skin and many women find it has more staying power than a regular eyebrow pencil. In this example the right eye is shorter than the ideal length for this face, this is where you would use a brow pencil to extend the length and fill in any gaps in the brow as well.
For a very dramatic evening look, brush your brow hairs all facing straight down, now trace along the top of the line, a little heavier and darker than normal. Using your small angle brush, shape your brow hairs back into place. This also works well for a casual daytime look, just apply lighter.

Trading can be a source of income and entertainment, although wise traders use safety mechanisms to protect their trades from unreasonable losses. Trailing stop loss orders are one tool that can be used to protect trades against extreme market fluctuations and limit a trader's losses to a margin with which they are comfortable.
Determine how to you would like to set up your trade, either by executing your trade through a broker, or setting up your own trades directly through an online system for your own account. Trailing stop loss orders may be set up for trading of stocks, foreign currency or other assets.
Understand the mechanics of a stop loss order. A stop loss order is used during trading as a "safety mechanism" to close trades before huge losses result. A stop loss order is set to close automatically when the security being traded reaches a predetermined price.
Know the price you want to close out your trade at before entering into the trade. This requires doing some analysis of the trading trends and average movements of the asset you are trading, and deciding how far away from the market price or market range you are comfortable setting your stop loss order.
Use the trailing feature for a stop loss order wisely. The trailing feature works well for longer duration orders, and with a trailing stop loss, the execution price is set up so that as the asset price fluctuates, the stop loss execution price adjusts along with it, maintaining a kind of flexible buffer. A trailing stop loss order can be set to execute as a market order or limit order. Market orders execute at the current best price; limit orders execute at a set, or higher than set, price.
Determine the spread for your trailing stop loss. This involves choosing the percentage or dollar decimal amount away from the current market at which the stop loss order will be placed. The stop price will move or "trail" as the market moves.
Determine whether to set a trailing sell stop loss or a trailing buy stop loss order. A trailing sell stop moves the stop loss price up as the stock price goes up; it stays the same when the stock price goes down. Conversely, a trailing buy stop order adjusts down as the market goes down, and stays the same when the market goes up.
Initiate the stop loss order by using a broker or your software trading interface. Alternatively, rather than setting a programmed stop loss order, some traders choose to use a "soft stop." This involves writing a number down that serves as his trading limit for a loss, and manually exiting a trade if the price hits this number. This method works best for traders who watch the market constantly, and who have the discipline to manually execute a stop loss order if the market hits their predetermined number.

Being advised against home birth due to risk of shoulder dystocia(86 Posts)
Hi I'm 36 weeks pregnant with DC2. DS was born via forceps delivery and his shoulder got stuck briefly - it was released with the mcroberts manoeuvre and supre pubic pressure (sp?) within a matter of a few minutes at most. I had wanted a home birth with him but was transferred to hospital due to his high birth rate, pushed for 2 hours then was taken to surgery for epidural, episiotomy and forceps delivery.
I believe the shoulder dystocia was caused by the following
*high bmi (30 when falling pregnant)
*large baby 9lb 7oz
*being forced to labour on my back despite instinct telling me to turn on all fours
*forceps delivery
this time around
*my bmi was 25 when falling pregnant
*according to growth scan today baby is average size for dates (I am aware this isn't necessarily accurate)
*part of the reason I would like a home birth is do I'm free to move around/avoid time constraints and can push in my own time and whatever position feels natural
I have seen a doctor (presumably obstetrician) today who basically told me to think of my baby, once head is out we've got 9 minutes to deliver or your baby is dead and I should have him/her in hospital.
Understandably I'm very upset, I don't want anyone to think I'm not putting my baby first but feel my needs are important too. I've never left DS for more than a couple of hours and thought that by having a home birth I'd have him close by and therefore feel more relaxed and confident in labour. , I'm also feeling in my gut that the chances of it happening again are reduced by mine and baby's size and would be reduced further by having an active and relaxed birth environment that I don't feel I could get in a hospital.
Does anyone have any light to shed? Am I high risk? Is there really a huge advantage to being in hospital if SD was to happen again? I live 15-30 mins away if that makes a difference
Just because it happened before doesnt mean itll happen again, and ahomebirth is much more relaxing than a hospital birth. Being restricted in moving imo is a big factor why baby got stuck, especially if you felt your instinct was to go on all fours. Theres a well known manouvere called Gaskin manouvere which is basically moving to all fours to release shoulder distocia. Look it up on google, its named after an amazing lady called Ina Gaskin.
Perhaps as a compromise you can go to a birth centre? Personally I would judge each preg and birth on its own merits, and if it does happen again, you are definitely better equiped than first time around. Dont let anyone scare you into doing what they want. Noone would risk their baby, so using that as an arguement is absurd.
Good luck!
I've only just realised how old this thread is you've ppss even had baby by now
Shagmund I'm a bit concerned by your post suggesting that SD is no reason to be out off homebirth. I know its a natural process and too medicalised in hospital etc but in countries without medical care 1 in 7 women die in childbirth(disclaimer- I recall reading this in the news but cannot recall where).
What is at risk is the OP's life and that of her baby.
The birthing centre is a good compromise as at least there is extra equipment/ staff SHOULD it be needed.
Everything will probably be fine, but it's just not worth taking the risk (however small) when there is a history of something as serious as shoulder dystocia.
We like to think it is all in our control- low BMI,don't have an epidural, our 'intuitive' idea of how big the baby is- but actually I had a low BMI, active labour, no epidural (fucking wish I had though as he ended up being manhandled out by a burly obs with forceps only after a couple of attempts with ventouse failed) but I still had SD.
I also fully support home birth when there are no indications that there will be a prob. A previous SD is a clear indication that there may be probs.
However I am sure all will be fine for OP- 2nd time is very often easier... good luck xxx
I also had shoulder dystocia with my first, although they had a few more probs getting him out. He was 9 lb 13.
It came as a complete shock to all. I had a low bmi before I had him ( I am about 5'4" and weighed 9st), I put less than 2 stone on whilst pg, every scan/ check up they told me his size was normal and there was no hint of a problem until my 2nd stage became very extended (2 hrs) there is no way I could have transferred to hospital in 2nd stage labour - it was lucky I was at a hospital, the MW hit a panic button and in minutes there were more MWs, obs, paed team to resucitate(sp?) ds if neccesary.
I know you are worried about leaving your LO but if all is straightforward as you feel it will be, you will be back home really quick. I asked to be discharged 6 hours after dd was born and they were fine. But if anything had gone wrong at least I was in the right place.
Shoulder dystocia is SERIOUS. You sound like yours was minor, but I have a friend whose dd has no use of one arm because her nerves were damaged by a shoulder dystocia birth.
I really think you should go for hospital.
I honestly think if I had another (which I'm not), that I would go for an elective CS, because that experience of the baby being stuck, and not knowing how or if he would get out safely was too horrible. I feel like I wouldn't want to push my luck!!!
Just want to say Go Shagmund!
Good result OP - glad you've been listened to. Good luck with the birth!
(oh and sorry to hijack the thread)
"but I will say that anyone who chooses to have a VBAC (which carries a small but significant risk of uterine rupture that can be fatal for baby and mother) distant from obstetric and neonatal facilities is, in my opinion, taking an unnecessary risk with the life of their baby and choosing the experience over the outcome."r
TrainTrack - why don't you ASK women who've opted for a VBAC at home why they've done it? Maybe you don't know anyone who's done it.
The women I know who've done it have made the choice because they believe they are more likely to have problems in hospital. Problems like stalled or prolonged labour. Some feel that a uterine rupture is MORE LIKELY in hospital because of these things. Or they have been traumatised by their first birth and feel unable to go back.
Seriously - glibly repeating that women who have been labelled 'high risk' who opt for a homebirth are valuing 'the experience' over the life of their baby is cruel and to be honest, a bit thick. Birth isn't like a fucking spa treatment. Women are desperate to get through it in what they believe is the the healthiest way they can - for them and their baby. And for some women this means choosing a homebirth even when they've been advised not to. It's not unusual for women to reject the advice of health professionals they don't trust or those they feel are not treating them and their baby according to their individual needs and obstetric history. You see posts about it all the time on mumsnet.
"Shagmundfreud, it is all very well to say that it was not a problem to have a shoulder dystocia at home as it was easily managed. Sometimes they are very difficult to manage and the baby can require cardiac massage and intensive resuscitation"
Yes - I understand that Maxbear. It's obvious that a baby born after a severe shoulder dystocia will probably need paediatric input and is not going to get that quickly if they're born at home. But oddly, given that shoulder dystocia is often completely unpredictable, and not that uncommon, it doesn't seem to have impacted on neonatal morbidity and mortality as a whole for babies born at home.
Which leads me to conclude: that's because it's probably less likely to happen at home, and that when it does it's generally managed appropriately and safely by midwives. I appreciate your friend's experience (and the mother's she was caring for) was hideous, but the occasional scary birth (with a good outcome in this case) is not a rationale for a mother who is not at specific risk to be refused a homebirth. And that was the focus of my response to the OP - she was deemed to be a 'high risk' for a birth at home on the basis of a 'possible', mild, shoulder dystocia, which was easily resolved, during the birth of a massive first baby BY FORCEPS and following an epidural! Would you really say this mother was any more at risk of a repeat, severe shoulder dystocia? More at risk than a mum with a BMI of 30, known to be carrying a 9lb baby, who in most places would be ok'd for a homebirth?
The other point I made on this thread, and which I really can't get my head around, is why it's OK for those mothers who are considered at risk of a shoulder dystocia to be positively ENCOURAGED to have an epidural, when we know that forceps and supine birth put them at an additional risk of shoulder dystocia? Is the attitude, 'oh well, it doesn't matter if they have an SD in hospital - the increased risk is OK, because we've got pediatric intensive care services on standby?' I think that's shit.
Just a quick update - saw my midwife in the week and have decided on the birthing centre. She was appalled at the way the consultant spoke to me (I think her blunt manner and patronising tone was the thing that upset me the most) but was very supportive of my feelings and final decision and is very encouraging about my birth plan. She said that the consultant only ever sees emergency cases so her attitude may have been marred by that. Only 2 weeks to go until my due date (although I suspect baby will be late) - it still doesn't feel real. Hope I've made the right decision. Thanks again for all your comments.
I can't see the issue- opt for safety.
Shagmundfreud, it is all very well to say that it was not a problem to have a shoulder dystocia at home as it was easily managed. Sometimes they are very difficult to manage and the baby can require cardiac massage and intensive resuscitation. This happened to a midwife friend of mine a while ago in an out of hospital mw led unit, the baby was trapped for 5 minutes or so and the midwife had to do mouth to mouth (well bag and mask) ventilation and cardiac massage on the baby in a moving ambulance. The baby survived but everyone wished that it had been born in the hospital, it would have been far less traumatic for everyone involved and the baby would have had help that bit sooner. Yes they are managed the same in which ever place the mum delivers but the difference is that at home there are not the same paediatric facilities and fewer pairs of hands to help with baby and mum.
I clearly shouldn't have wandered into a mumsnet thread on home birth as I'm so out of step with the thoughts on here ! I don't want to derail the OPs thread so will bow out, but I will say that anyone who chooses to have a VBAC (which carries a small but significant risk of uterine rupture that can be fatal for baby and mother) distant from obstetric and neonatal facilities is, in my opinion, taking an unnecessary risk with the life of their baby and choosing the experience over the outcome. The last comment was very telling, that an IM helps a woman to feel safe. If they are high risk then this may well be a false sense of security
And yes I have met more than one woman who has rejected life saving obstetric care and in both cases it was on the advice of midwives who had the view that any birth could be normal and intervention is automatically a failure.
"And yes of course I am being deliberately provocative but I just find it amazing how many people value the experience over the outcome"
You are being INCREDIBLY insulting.
I chose a homebirth with an IM because I felt is was SAFER for me and my baby, than going into my local, understaffed maternity unit, where I'd had what I felt to be inadequate care with my first child.
All the other mothers I know who booked an IM did it because they wanted to feel safe and guarantee good care in labour.
"And I believe that if you adjust the data on home birth complications to reflect the fact that the cohort of women started as low risk, it does show home birth to be riskier, especially for first time mums."
If you are referring to the Place of Birth Study 2011, it does NOT show that home birth is riskier, except for first time mothers.
And actually the study clearly shows that outcomes for ALL healthy mothers, including those having their first baby, are just as good for mothers AND babies birthing in free standing midwife led units, where there are no doctors on site, or neonatal facilites!
"If IMs are brought into the NHS fold then hopefully it will stop some of the crazier ones who offer home births to women who are breech or have bad obstetric histories."
Sorry - you clearly have NO idea how home birth midwives practice at all. Mothers contract midwives to provide the care that they want. The mother contracting the midwife will discuss with her the risks and benefits of her choices and then it is left for the mother to make up her own mind how she wants to proceed. And actually this happens with the NHS too. I know two people who live not a mile from where I'm sitting now who've had 'high risk' home births on the NHS. One who had twins, and the other who has had 2 VBAC's at home. These may not be choices you approve of but the women have a right to make them. The midwife's responsibility is to make sure the mother is making an informed decision.
And the one big study on IM's I did look at showed that when it comes to caring for low risk women, they had just as good neonatal outcomes as NHS midwives, and in relation to birth injuries, vastly better maternal ones
"that when women in many parts of the world would give their right arm for safe obstetric care, we in the UK often reject it, forgetting that modern obstetrics is the only reason that we see childbirth as low risk."
Women in the UK 'often reject obstetric care'? Oh come off it. Women rejecting obstetric care when it is clear their baby needs medical or surgical intervention to be safely born is as rare as hens teeth. I personally have never met anyone who's said 'no' to a c/s or assisted delivery when it's clear that they need one. Have you? Has anyone on this thread?
And I don't for one minute think that as a nation we see childbirth as low risk, modern obstetrics or no modern obstetrics. Most women know that birth can become dangerous for mothers and babies, Which is why we choose to be looked after by midwives whose training enables them to spot when something is not progressing normally, rather than just giving birth alone in our bathrooms!
And yes of course I am being deliberately provocative but I just find it amazing how many people value the experience over the outcome.
Why would you sue an IM with no insurance? It would be a waste of money.
And I believe that if you adjust the data on home birth complications to reflect the fact that the cohort of women started as low risk, it does show home birth to be riskier, especially for first time mums.

Being in hospital isn't pleasant but it beggars belief that when women in many parts of the world would give their right arm for safe obstetric care, we in the UK often reject it, forgetting that modern obstetrics is the only reason that we see childbirth as low risk.
"Shoulder dystocia kills babies and is unpredictable"
Actually SD VERY RARELY kills babies in the UK. Thankfully.
"It is the main argument against home birth"
Two points here: giving birth in hospital puts you at higher risk of SD, because it also puts you at higher risk of forceps delivery and augmentation, both things which are associated with higher rates of SD. And given that SD is no more easily resolved in hospital than it is at home, that's worth some consideration.
Second point: apart from for first time mothers, there is no evidence that overall babies born at home or in free-standing birth centres (which have no doctors on site) to healthy mothers have higher rates of death or injury.
"Be aware that the last insurance company who indemnified independent midwives pulled out of the market some time ago."
I think you'll find that cases of malpractice bought against IM's over the years are few and far between. Luckily for NHS staff the tax payer bankrolls their mistakes by paying the colossal damages that result from babies being damaged by poor care every year in NHS hospitals.
"I think that litigation is on the way to prevent practicing without insurance so that should see the end of independent midwives, and not a minute too soon"
I think what may actually happen is that IM's will be contracted by the NHS to take on case-loading work. This has happened in the past and may very well be happening again soon. Negotiations are under way.
traintracks that is very emotive. I thought midwife said shoulder dystocia was not in notes and implied obs was just in a hurry to get back to his golf... There are risks involved in birthing in hospital which are not there at home. You chose what risks you are prepared to accept in life, and make the best choice you can. I was advised by the head of midwifery that things rarely go wrong suddenly and with two midwives present at home transfer in can be arranged quickly if required. Can take longer than 15 minutes for the call to be made in hospital especially if you are being ignored by midwives who are trying to look after a number of women at the same time. I did transfer in with my third, (suspected pph) and a 15 minute car ride takes a lot less than that with blues and twos.
traintracks you don't mince your words do you?! You make some valid points though. My only reason for wanting a home birth is that I feel it is a more natural and comfortable environment, an insurance company's job is to think with their heads but I think it's normal for a mum-to-be to be torn between head and heart. As I've said though I'm pretty much decided I won't be taking the risk
sossiges Yes I read it when pregnant with DC1, they were all rectified with labouring on all fours weren't they? I certainly think it's food for thought but I suppose we should be grateful that birth has not become as medicalised in the UK than the US - I have no desire to know the exact date to expect my baby and don't feel the need to know how many cms dilated I am at each appointment or need an epidural the minute I arrive at the hospital... But I digress somewhat, this has become a bit of a home/hospital birth debate which I didn't really intend it to be. I just want to know that I can exercise my right to choose in my own labours to a certain extent.
Thank you all for your opinions, experiences and advice. I knew I could rely on MN to help me get my head straight on a few things!
OP I take it you have read Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, interesting bit about SD in there
jchocchip - 15 minutes, plus the time for an ambulance to arrive and you to get into it is plenty of time for a baby's brain to die.
Shoulder dystocia kills babies and is unpredictable. It is the main argument against home birth. Be aware that the last insurance company who indemnified independent midwives pulled out of the market some time ago.
Think about that.
Many companies whose job is to identity risk have all independently decided that the decisions made by independent midwives are too risky to insure, at any price. They will have based that decision on previous experience. Did you read about the woman who died recently after negligent management by an independent midwife? If you use one and your baby ends up.brain damaged you will get no compensation to help with the costs of bringing up a disabled child. I think that litigation is on the way to prevent practicing without insurance so that should see the end of independent midwives, and not a minute too soon.
Anyone who would suggest a home birth with a previous shoulder dystocia clearly feels that the experience is more important than ending up with a healthy baby.
In that case it sounds like it might be a good compromise - you can have the same non-medicalised birth as if you were at home, but you are next door to the hospital if something did go wrong.
MrsBugsy the birthing centre is in the hospital. I do feel it's my best bet.
However... Having spoken to the supervisor of midwives today it turns out that DS's shoulder may have got stuck, the surgeon didn't put it in his notes so it would seem that they assumed it would get stuck due to him being big/slow progression perhaps and acted accordingly. I feel a bit cross that I've had pretty much a dressing down for even considering a home birth when it would seem the only risk factor that definitely applies to me would be that I've previously had a big baby and possibly a history of SD but no-one is quite sure.
Not sure what to think now but I am swaying more towards the birthing centre simply because if there is a risk of needing extra help I think it makes sense to be near it. I will however try and be more confident in saying "what happens if we wait..?" and make sure DH is as familiar with my birth plan as I am
for me one of the reasons for planning a homebirth is that, as a low risk woman, I am guaranteed one on one care that I almost certainly wouldn't get in a hospital. I feel that I would be safer at home.
However, your case, you have been identified as high risk, so AFAIK you would be guaranteed one on one attention in hospital, plus you would have the added benefit of being closer to medical facilities that you have been told you have a higher than average chance of needing. You also live quite a long way from the hospital. So, I think if I were in your shoes, I'd feel that a hospital birth is safer than a homebirth.
How close is the birthing centre to the hospital?

The heads of the House and Senate intelligence committees said Sunday that they see no sign yet of a terrorism link in the disappearance of a Malaysian passenger plane that has been missing since March 8.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on CNN's "State of the Union" that there has been no evidence of foul play by terrorists."There's speculation, but there's nothing," she said.
Similarly, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said on "Fox News Sunday" that there is "nothing yet that has come out of the investigation that would lead me to conclude that there was anything other than a normal flight that something happened, that something went wrong."
Rogers noted that investigators are comparing forensics on the pilots' computers with a full background check on every crew member and passenger, and that the process would take time. "We're just going to have to be patient as this thing unfolds," he said.

Playing God and the Intrinsic Value of Life: Moral Problems for Synthetic Biology?
- First Online:

- 757 Downloads
Most of the reports on synthetic biology include not only familiar topics like biosafety and biosecurity but also a chapter on 'ethical concerns'; a variety of diffuse topics that are interrelated in some way or another. This article deals with these 'ethical concerns'. In particular it addresses issues such as the intrinsic value of life and how to deal with 'artificial life', and the fear that synthetic biologists are tampering with nature or playing God. Its aim is to analyse what exactly is the nature of the concerns and what rationale may lie behind them. The analysis concludes that the above-mentioned worries do not give genuine cause for serious concern. In the best possible way they are interpreted as slippery slope arguments, yet arguments of this type need to be handled with care. It is argued that although we are urged to be especially vigilant we do not have sufficiently cogent reasons to assume that synthetic biology will cause such fundamental hazards as to warrant restricting or refraining from research in this field.

Cookie Tuminello says it's about time women start claiming their places on the corporate ladder instead of hanging back and settling for less than they are worth.
As the founder and CEO of the coaching and consulting firm Success Source LLC, Tuminello said she helps her clients "get where they want to go."
She will be sharing her message during the keynote address at this year's Women's Week Kick-Off Luncheon Sept. 16 at Boudreaux's.
"One of my mottos is 'Success is a choice — the struggle is 100 percent optional,'" Tuminello said.
Tuminello said she works one-on-one with primarily female executives, managers, business owners and organizational leaders to give them the tools and strategies they need.
Often, the answer is another pair of eyes to see what's not working for a particular client, Tuminello said.
Her talk, titled "The New Leadership Paradigm," will address the changing marketplace as well as the shifting dynamics of what it means to be a woman leader today, Tuminello said.
She said today's leaders require not only tech-savvy skills, but also "soft skills" (also known as people skills), in order to create long-term sustainable results.
"Tech skills can be outsourced," Tuminello said. "Building human capital is going to take communication skills and we (women) wrote the book on building relationships."
Women, however, often stand in their own way when it comes to achieving success, Tuminello said.
"Women in the past have hung back and accepted the status quo and tried to fit into others' expectations of what they should be," Tuminello said.
She said this has left them stressed, exhausted and unfulfilled.
Entrepreneurialism among women is at an all-time high, though, because women want more control over their lives, she said.
In order to be successful, women need to develop such qualities as confidence, gain a clear picture of where they're going and become committed, she said.
"Learning how to say what they mean and mean what they say so they're taken seriously — not in an ugly way, but in a way that's empowering," she said.
Tuminello said a lot of what she teaches comes from her own experiences as a business owner.
She has worked as a coach since the mid-'90s, and started her own business in 1999.
Three years ago, the Baton Rouge native and past president of Women's Council, decided to move to Lafayette.
Tuminello said the first person who looked at her house for sale in Baton Rouge bought it, so she took it as a sign she was doing the right thing.
"I just felt like Lafayette was where I needed to be," she said.
But, she said, she's "just right up the road," from her family and friends in Baton Rouge.
Her book, "Climbing The Ladder of Success In High Heels — Without Stepping On Your Values," will be available later this month.

Oh my goodness! I had this blog post all set to publish yesterday, but please forgive me, as time got the best of me! I am so sorry, but here it is, a day late---Happy Belated Birthday, George Washington!
Today, February 22nd, is George Washington's Birthday, a day that the Tudor family has long-celebrated. The ties of the family to the General are explained by Tasha on page 80 of the Tasha Tudor Cookbook, where she also shares the receipt for her Washington Pie (that is actually a cake, rather like the Boston Cream Pie misnomer!).
Right now, we have this marvelous image of Tasha's Washington Pie celebration available on our "For Collectors" section of the website! The original watercolor, stunningly framed in museum-quality glass and acid-free materials. This would make a marvelous birthday present for just about anyone in your life! This item was also displayed in the Tasha Tudor Museum's first-ever exhibit, Tea with Tasha.
Have a beautiful Wednesday and George Washington's Birthday (it is also Ash Wednesday!).
Be well and take joy,

text: In NJ and much of the rest of the country this week has been a cold snap. After above average temps, we dropped 15F below average. Yesterday I talked to some people who do deep tine aeration (and other services) wh said on Monday they had a hard time getting penetration in near frozen Long Island, NY ground. Just got home, and took soil temps (33F, ambient 29F) and and used a probe to take some soild samples (a few were easy, a few impossible). Saturday is supposed to be low 40s after another cold day tomorrow with temps tonight around 20F. Has the window passed? Or would the warm day Saturday be enough to make it work? Saturday night is expected to be in the upper 30s, Sunday in the mid to upper 40s but raining. However, my understanding is that plugging is possible in the rain. The tines, arriving tomorrow, are .6" OD, .47"ID, side eject. On the 3/8" mount tine, the core deflector is built into the tine, and the side eject is exposed while the tip is in the ground. Although these are mini "quad' tines, they are about the size and stiffness of regular tines and the Deere Aercore 800 uses the mini tines in one row, 4 banks of 6, rather than the 6 banks of 8 on many other aerators. So, too late? Should the dormant seeding be rushed to Saturday instead? It had originally been planned for next week if possible. However, if the ground is frozen the Ryan verticutter probably won't work. Next week (forecasts available until Thursday) appears to be just above freezing during the day and below at night.

J'son & Partners Consulting presents main results of the research: "The development of Android & iOS ecosystems, operator's and non-operator's mobile content."
The development of ecosystems (Android & iOS) on the mobile content market
Apple launched its first product based on the widely popular nowadays operating system – iOS on the mobile content market in 2008. Ecosystem iOS was aimed on a solvent audience and as a result was very interesting for developers. In the same very year, Apple Apps Store was launched in 62 countries all over the world. The number of available for download apps nowadays reached 1000 000 and downloaded number of apps – 50 bln.apps.
Later Google presented its smartphone G1 on Android operation system, developed together with T-mobile operator. As opposed to Apple, Google used the following approach – any manufacturer of equipment can use Android (operation system) on their devices. As a result, manufacturers were able to provide less pricey devices based on Android that were extremely necessary for users.
Statistics show the following trend nowadays: Google Play Market wins vs Apple Apps Store by number of provided mobile apps and loses by the total number of downloads.
Sales of mobile apps in Russia
J'son & Partners Consulting expects that the total market volume of mobile apps is around 246 mln.USD in Russia – 1% of the global sales of mobile apps in 2013.
The average number of installed apps on smartphones in Russia for the last 3 years grown 1,5 times.
Nowadays in Russia the following trend is presenting: 23 mobile apps are installed (by users of mobile Internet on smartphones), where 9 apps had been used at least once for the last month and 4 apps had been bought in an app shop.
J'son & Partners Consulting estimates smartphones sales in Russia as 17 mln. at the end of 2013, 41% growth in comparison with 2012.
Smartphones' and Tablet PC's users are main consumers of non-operator's services and goods.
The increase in number of smartphones' users is a key factor for competition on the mobile content market and as a result operators could loose revenues from traditional VAS-services¹
¹ VAS-services (Value Added Services) – additional services of cellular connection
Russian market of operator's mobile content
Mobile operators are in the process of developing the additional services in Russia and in the world totally, as the market of voice data transfer is reaching its peak.
Operators are trasnforming their key business directions and try to gain from TV and music content, apps and mobile adds. Cellular operators are trying to motivate the customers to use VAS-services (private and corporate users).
According to J'son & Partners Consulting, operator's mobile content market will reach around 63 bln.RUB at the end of 2013 (music and RBT-services will take half of it).
The competition between operator's and non-operator's content platforms results in a decrease of operator's content sales. J'son & Partners Consulting explains it by the following factors:
• Standartization of operator's VAS offers
Current situation on operator's VAS market – presence of standard, long no changes service offers that are not very actual for a growing needs of users
• Increasing number of smartphones and Tablet PCs users
From one point it helps to increase the total revenues from the content services, on the other hand cellular operator becomes no longer a monopolist on the mobile content market. Multi-functional device gives a subscriber much more options.
• High level of piracy and fraud
Cooperation of operators and Ecosystems (Android & iOS) on the mobile content market
Same as operators, Android & iOS ecosystems have pros (receiving the revenues from mobile content market) and cons (that decrease potential sums of revenues)
According to J'son & Partners Consulting main pros and cons are:
J'son & Partners Consulting assumes that currently cooperation might be very profitable for operators and ecosystems in relation to mobile content. Vivid examples of such cooperation:
Purchasing apps in Google Play via mobile payment – Beeline cellular network
MTS & Google Play agreed to launch a package of business apps of Google Apps in a corporate MTS segment
Main advantages for operators of the cooperation with ecosystems are:
An opportunity to sale their own apps and services in Google Play Market & Apple Apps Store, increasing the customer loyalty
To be a broker in the chain of payment for mobile apps Google Play Market & Apple Apps Store
To announce and promote operator's news and offers via mobile apps purchased by subscribers of other operators
Global market of mobile apps
Mobile apps market has a very positive dynamics and shows great potential for further growth of its players – Android & iOS
According to Gartner estimations, around 269 bln. apps will be downloaded in 2017 and the revenues will reach 76.5 bln. USD.
Russian market of mobile apps
J'son & Partners Consulting forecasts Russian mobile apps market volume about 8 bln. Rub at the end of 2013 and the growth till 38 bln. RUB in 2016.
As a result the Russian share in the global mobile apps sales will reach 2%.
Russian market of operator's mobile content
J'son & Partners Consulting awaits the operator's mobile content market will reach 77 bln.RUB in 2016. The "Mobile TV & video" segment most likely will have the highest growth rates.
Detailed results of the research are presented in the full version of the Report: "The development of Android & iOS ecosystems as a threat for Russian cellular operators, key "fighting" methods, 2010 – 2016)."
