It's natural to focus on your baby's birth while you're pregnant. But it's a good idea to also know what to expect after labour.
Skin-to-skin contact really helps with bonding. It's a good idea to have your baby lifted onto you as soon as they're born and before the cord is cut so you can be close to each other straight away.
When the cord is clamped, your baby is dried and then covered with a towel to stop them getting cold. You can continue to hold and cuddle your baby.
Read more about skin-to-skin contact.
Your baby may have some of your blood on their skin and perhaps vernix, the greasy white substance that protects your baby's skin in the womb.
If you prefer, you can ask the midwife to dry your baby and wrap them in a blanket before your cuddle.
Mucus may need to be cleared out of your baby's nose and mouth.
Some babies need a bit of help to get their breathing established.
Your baby may be taken to another part of the room to have some oxygen. They'll brought back to you as soon as possible.
Your baby will be examined by a midwife or paediatrician, then weighed and possibly measured, and given a band with your name on.
Vitamin K for newborn babies
You'll be offered an injection of vitamin K for your baby. This helps prevent a rare bleeding disorder called haemorrhagic disease of the newborn.
Your midwife should have discussed the injection with you while you were pregnant.
If you'd prefer for your baby not to have an injection, they can have vitamin K by mouth instead, but they'll need further doses.
Stitches for tears or cuts
Small tears and grazes are often left without stitches because they usually heal better this way.
If you need stitches or other treatments, you should be able to carry on cuddling your baby.
If you have had a large tear or an episiotomy, you'll need stitches.
If you have already had an epidural, it can be topped up. If you haven't, you should be offered a local anaesthetic to numb the area.
Your midwife or maternity support worker will help you wash and freshen up before you go to the postnatal ward.
Preventing bleeding after the birth
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a rare complication where you bleed heavily from the vagina after your baby's birth.
There are 2 types of PPH, depending on when the bleeding takes place:
- primary or immediate – bleeding that happens within 24 hours of birth
- secondary or delayed – bleeding that happens after the first 24 hours and up to 6 weeks after the birth
Sometimes PPH happens because your womb doesn't contract strongly enough after the birth.
It can also happen because part of the placenta has been left in your womb or you get an infection in the lining of the womb (endometritis).
To help prevent PPH, you'll be offered an injection of oxytocin as your baby's being born. This stimulates contractions and helps to push the placenta out.
Now read about you and your body after the birth.

The mortgage interest deduction doesn't help more people afford homes, a new study says. It makes homes bigger.
It's the tax deduction that economists love to hate but has huge support among Americans. The mortgage interest tax deduction has long been defended on the basis that it encourages home ownership, but a new study may undermine that justification. Nick Timiraos at the Wall Street Journal writes about a new study that challenges that rationale: "The ZIP Code-level analysis of Internal Revenue Service data, conducted by a team of economists for the right-leaning R Street Institute, examined how tax benefits are distributed across income levels and major metropolitan areas. The study estimates that tax preferences, particularly the mortgage-interest deduction, have helped drive up the size of houses by as much as 18 percent in the nation's most affluent areas while not broadly encouraging people to buy homes." The R Street Institute's article on its study shows the type of money that is at stake: "The cost of the tax benefits for owner-occupied housing adds up to about $175 billion annually, with the mortgage-interest deduction alone costing the Treasury roughly $100 billion. The five-year costs of these tax benefits total well over $1 trillion. To put this amount in perspective, one year of tax benefits for owner-occupied housing costs more than the discretionary budgets of the departments of Education, Homeland Security, Energy, and Agriculture combined." Alan Pyke at ThinkProgress says, "That's enough money to finance universal preschool for every American child for the next decade." ThinkProgress also analyzes the 18 percent increase in size the study says the deduction is responsible for: "The average house sold today has more than 2,500 square feet of space. That's 750 square feet larger than the average size of a house bought in 1980 and 400 square feet larger than the average home sold in 1990, according to the researchers. Larger homes are more expensive homes, so by inflating the size of houses on the market, the mortgage interest deduction is likely pushing up the price of homeownership for everyone. That's good for real estate agents, but not for middle- and low-income families." The R Street Institute says, "In fact, the tax benefits afforded to homeowners are highly regressive, extremely expensive, and of little obvious value to society at large. Even if we do want to encourage homeownership through the tax code - and it is by no means obvious that we should - there are far better ways to do so." Hamilton Nolan at Gawker says "subsidizing extra square footage in the homes of the wealthy is an unquestionably grotesque policy outcome." Nolan's solution is to build low-income housing and give money to low-income people to buy homes. And "make people with multiple homes give one of those homes to the poor." But as an article in the Deseret News pointed out, "The deduction is certainly popular - with about half of mortgage holders taking advantage of it and, no doubt, wanting to hold onto it." This story also points out that the National Association of Home Builders found 71 percent of voters oppose eliminating the deduction.

During the Soviet era, Russian composers faced a vexing problem in trying to practice their art, and make a living, without running afoul of government cultural authorities. To solve it they sometimes looked to the movies, where directors often resolved similar difficulties by turning to a subject long favored by the country's opera composers: Russian history.
Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev are two examples. Shostakovich was able to stay busy, without getting in trouble, by scoring films featuring stories of the Bolshevik revolution. Other composers and filmmakers looked further back. Prokofiev wrote fine scores, still enjoyed by concert audiences today, for the films Ivan the Terrible and Alexander Nevsky, which depict events from as early as the 1200s.
That older history was ground well-trodden by Russian composers. Tchaikovsky wrote historical operas, as did Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin and Glinka. And one of the best-known and most popular Russian dramas of any kind is Modeste Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov, based on the life of a Russian leader from the turn of the 17th-century.
Mussorgsky's Boris is hardly a triumphant opera. It's a dark and tragic portrayal of a Russian leader from not long after Ivan the Terrible. If Shostakovich or Prokofiev had tried something similar during the Soviet years, it might not have gone over so well.
But when the opera premiered, in 1874, the story wasn't a problem, and it was such a great success that Mussorgsky quickly followed it with another drama in a similar vein. That next opera was Khovanshchina, and the history it portrays may be even darker and more troublesome than the story of Boris Godunov.
Khovanshchina deals with the period of Russian History when Tsar Peter the Great came to power, in the late 1600s. Telling that complex story was a tall order, especially because Russian officials prohibited the depiction of the ruling family on stage. And, perhaps unwisely, Mussorgsky chose to write the opera's libretto, as well as its music. He never managed it, leaving the opera not quite finished, and completely unorchestrated, when he died in 1881.
Fortunately, the powerful score Mussorgsky left behind has since been filled out and orchestrated in two different versions, one by Rimsky-Korskov, made shortly after Mussorgsky's death, and another put together by Shostakovich in 1958.
On World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone brings us the Shostakovich orchestration of Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina, in a lavish production from the Bastille Opera in Paris. The stars include bass Gleb Nikolsky, soprano Larissa Diadkova and tenor Vladimir Galusin, in a performance led by conductor Michail Jurowski.

PI Associate Faculty Member Luis Lehner has been elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), for his "important contributions to numerical relativity, most notably in the areas of black hole simulations, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, and algorithm development."
According to PI Director Neil Turok, "This is timely and well-deserved recognition — Professor Lehner is a pioneer of modern efforts to extract definite predictions for the behavior of black holes and other strongly gravitating systems from Einstein's equations. With observational tests using gravitational wave astronomy expected in the near future, his work is expected to play a key role in helping us better understand some of the most violent and fascinating events in the universe, including black hole collisions, and, in time, perhaps even the big bang singularity itself."
Beginning in 2003, Lehner led an international effort to develop a computational infrastructure to perform simulations of highly dynamical, strongly gravitating systems, which led to several scientific breakthroughs: the first study of the dynamics of magnetized neutron star mergers (2008); the first simulation of the effects of a recoiling black hole on a surrounding disk (2009); and the first study of the effects of a binary black hole on electromagnetic fields and surrounding plasma (2010). With colleague Frans Pretorius of Princeton University, he unraveled the final fate of "black strings" (2010), the higher dimensional cousins of black holes. The methods developed by Lehner and colleagues have been adopted by research groups around the world.
In 2009, Professor Lehner joined Perimeter Institute and the University of Guelph in a cross-appointed position. His research has been recognized through numerous previous honours and awards, including the APS' Nicholas Metropolis Award for outstanding dissertation (1999), the CGS/UMI Distinguished Dissertation Award (1998), an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship (2003-05), the Phi Kappa Phi Faculty Award in Natural and Physical Sciences (2004), and the Louisiana State University Rainmaker Award (2008). He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK), a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, and a Kavli-National Academy of Sciences Fellow (US).

President Trump and the White House have embraced the rising stock market as a gauge of their economic impact. Bloomberg News reports that the president has been testing a new campaign pitch, asking audiences, "How's your 401(k) doing?"
But the answer may not help Trump's re-election push: More than half of Americans don't have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, and the lower-income workers at the core of Trump's political base are the least likely to have money in such an account.
Bloomberg's Toluse Olorunnipa also notes that "only about 14 percent of U.S. families directly own stocks, an asset class dominated by the country's top earners, according to the Federal Reserve."
The White House says the market reflects a stronger economy that's good news for those who don't have 401(k)s, too.
"For the Americans that don't have the opportunity to invest in a 401(k) plan or who choose not to, the Trump agenda of lower taxes, higher wages, and better jobs allows them to save more on their own, and potentially have a better chance of finding a job in the future that provides those benefits," a White House spokesperson told Bloomberg.

La Maison Symphonique de Montréal
The 2,100-seat auditorium, primarily for use by the celebrated Montréal Symphony Orchestra under Maestro Kent Nagano, is a contemporary expression of the classical shoebox concert hall design. The design of La Maison Symphonique de Montréal involved an intricate public and private partnership. The chief architect was Jack Diamond of Diamond & Schmitt Architects. Artec Consultants designed the acoustics with the aid of a team Diamond brought in from Sound Space Design.A warm, wood-clad interior provides an intimate and shared performance experience with superior acoustics for both the musicians and audience. The auditorium's harmonious interior has walls of overlapping curved panels and three tiers of balconies made from textured, light-brown Canadian beech wood.Artec has a reputation for designing halls with adjustable components, like this one, with large panels suspended from the ceiling that can be lowered to create greater intimacy or raised to accommodate large orchestral strengths. Many modern halls have big, bright acoustics.
The Symphony Hall is designed to be an integral part of Place des Arts – the cultural heart of Montréal. Its position is also designed to make a connection with the new Parterre Park to the east. The activities within the glazed, four-storey lobby are clearly visible to passersby and enliven the public life of the city. The new hall sits right next to its old home, the Salle Wilfred-Pelletier, a multipurpose hall of nearly 3,000 seats that were considered too big and acoustically indistinct for the needs of an orchestra. Diamond and Schmitt Architects, as part of a Public Private Partnership consortium, designed the new Montréal Concert Hall in conjunction with Aedifica of Montréal. The Quebec Ministry of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women commissioned the project. SNC-Lavalin Group is providing the construction, financing and the maintenance of the hall.

Hello Good People who read this blog in my absence…
(This blog entry was written after listening to hours of Joni Mitchell on my travels…)
I thought of you all on Solstice morning . The light was shining through the curtains of my guest room not long past 4 a.m. , unable to sleep I looked out the window and in the pale light I saw the sea, the birds and some drunken young revellers still ambling loudly on the beach from the night before with beer bottles in hand. They weren't celebrating the Solstice, they were simply on holiday. Yes, I was in England but I don't have a laptop or a mobile and was in a seaside town without internet access.
But I thought of you all out there somewhere. I felt bad for not writing about the Solstice, for this blog has become a commitment, although I don't need any commitments right now.
I am on my own personal journey, this blog started with bits of my past, that others could relate to, then as I wrote various forces and choices transformed my present.
The same thing used to happen when I wrote many songs, when I did art and wrote silly stories,the creative process subsequently changed my life.
Some people always stay in the same place all their lives, they like the same things, wear the same clothes, do the same job, love the same people and live with the same friends, family and neighbourhood. Although they still gently change and age, they are content with their stability.But people like me find this stability impossible and in spite of ourselves we need to transform, re-generate especially at times when the world too is changing fast( and we clash with our kin).
Joni Mitchell"California" 1970
So as a result of my blog I started to study again a subject which turned out to be just right for me in many ways, and also as a result of writing about protests and rights and looking at inequalities in relationships between people I mounted my own protest with my nearest and dearest. Not fun, not fun at all but revolutionary. Not sure where it will end.
Also I foolishly mentioned to some that I had an anonymous blog and know that others observe me and can see into my private writings, I have to just live with that, but it has also put me off . A bit like having your parents or your teacher look over your shoulder while writing your private diary about the same said parent or teacher.
Joni Mitchell live 1974 "all i want"
Anyway I have been travelling and dealing with shit, just came back from a place in Eastern Europe that is amazing. I don't want to tell you where it is! Because there are so few British and American tourists there at present. I may be going back there soon, just to say that people are nice there, much much nicer than in London, and that I left a bag with my money , passport , debit card on a bench surrounded by at least a hundred people at the side of the biggest outdoor swimming pool I have ever seen and left it there for a couple of hours and no one took it.
But really coming back to London is so bad , as soon as I got here I was robbed in the street of only a few quid, still it was meant to be my week's food money, without violence or even my noticing. I told the community police, they said there was nothing they could do but were sympathetic.
So I called the real police, they were really nice but I soon felt like I was in a Monty Python sketch, the one with the restaurant where a diner complains about a dirty fork. In the end all the staff apologise and I think at least one stabs themselves to death.
They called me again today and asked for a description of the people hanging around me in the street when the money was taken. They chatted and laughed with me and were really nice so I thought I'd write about that.
But at lunchtime I had to walk past the same spot where I think my money was taken. There were two police vans , three police cars and about thirty police officers and community police people all standing guard around the place and stopping young people in the street asking them for ID. They didn't stop me as I am too old.
I suddenly felt really guilty wondering if maybe my calling them had somehow contributed to this operation.I am not being too specific here for obvious reasons. I didn't feel good about it. I went back about four hours later and there were still around 15 police officers there stopping young people.
So on the one hand for a change I'd like to state that the police really can be very helpful and on the other , if this police presence really was in response to my complaint then we are living in a scary place.
In the tremendously cultured , beautiful , historic, progressive , very friendly and poor town in eastern Europe I have been recently been to, they only have one or two CCTV cameras. Eco-conscious weasels break into parked cars at night and chew through the electrical wiring.There are tons of young people there, little or no health and safety rules, no Body Shop, no Starbucks etc..and the locals don't speak English.
Apparently they had put a CCTV camera outside a building where journalists worked. The journalists complained that they should not be filmed and it was taken down. Also there was a smoking ban and bar owners who smoked complained that they would have to go outside for a smoke at their place of work, so they allow some restaurants and bars to have a major smoking section and a small non-smoking section. I'm not saying smoking is good for you but I think their approach is a little saner.
Here is a collection of Joni Mitchell songs starting with "Come to the Sunshine" with a great guitar riff with bended strings, performed live in 1967 at the Couriers Folk Club Leicester. This song is definitely my current favourite of hers. If this plays correctly this should be a series of songs including a very expressive version of "Both Sides Now". Joni Mitchell's early live stuff is really her at her best in my humble opinion. If you can't hear the others double-click onto youtube to find the rest. There are remastered (clearer) versions of some of these songs on one of a couple of live bootlegs called "2nd Frets 1966-1968″ and "Live at Club 47″ ( 1968).
I think Joni should release this song again, it's a definite hit, the version on "Live at Club 47" , unfortunately a bootleg, is louder on the guitar and more confident but the words and structure of this song are fantastic, it's a gem of an undiscovered song. (maybe the sexual connotations kept it hidden!)
(for a complete list of Joni's 37 unreleased early songs with lyrics go to jonimitchell.com)
Back to my travel tales in a cultured town in Eastern Europe….
I was sitting outside alone at three a.m. one night, smoking a fag and I asked a local if I was in danger of getting mugged. He told me that the only crime in their town was " Street Demolition" which made me laugh.
I asked him what that was, it turns out it means graffiti and other small acts of vandalism like the odd beer bottle being smashed. There was lots of graffiti, but most of it was art which was much cleverer and skilled than your average "Banksy".
I also went to an outside swimming pool there which was the size of Belgium, it even had waves without a wave machine. There was no chlorine in it, no shallow end,the lifeguard was in his own room about a million miles away and was fully clothed. It was bloody scary but no one drowned and everyone looked like they were having fun. Families chain smoked on the grass and under tress after a good swim.
The young people there seem so much more responsible and organised about their lives. They all drink beer but I was in this major town for ten days, I never saw a police car or a police officer.
Everyone in the street, in shops, everywhere was smiling and friendly even though I couldn't speak the language , they were patient and entertained by my " charade" miming skills. I didn't have a phrase book though:
London and the UK are so over-rated, in just ain't the same as in the times of Monty Python. Comedy is censured now so that no one gets upset. Would that sketch upset Hungarians? It depends how people are represented. Freedom is good, travel broadens the mind if you allow it to, or if you are going a bit crazy it can cure depression or a nervous breakdown better than Prozac or dyamtholintoolitisticholum ( random name of prescribed drug I invented). If travel is better than anti-depressants then I will also say that music is also better than religion . Will I get comments? I doubt it, I'm not John Lennon.
That's why I haven't been here, but I am thinking of all of you. Going to Guilfest tomorrow, never been, I will writing again when I can like a lost alternative Auntie. I'm going to Guilfest for an odd reason, my friend wants to go and see Motorhead somewhere he can smoke. Simples, squeak. Heavy rain is forecast.
I am going through a Joni Mitchell phase who wrote many songs about her travels but this is her famous ecological one.
"Big Yellow Taxi" 1970
Love and Peace
(I really should be packing and other stuff..excuse any typos!)
17/7/09 P.S. Clue for those who can be bothered to Google: the town I was referring to is home to a place where in the past , two dictators gave public speeches from its main balcony,that was at the Blue Elephant Hotel. If you go there don't take lager lout friends or hen parties with you, the place is almost free of foreign tourists due to its location and history. Actually it's not blue just Elephant Hotel, I must have put a colour in there with my imagination. You'll probably read this after Googling "Blue Elephant Hotel" ten times, but I have to make it possible but hard for you to find, so only the determined will succeed, like the swimmers determined to survive a length without drowning at the swimming pool there.

NO SHOW for SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT
I have been an AT&T customer for as long as I can remember and I have never been so disappointed in the service that I received (or didn't receive) for my Digital Life Installation. I was scheduled for my installation on Jan. 25th to show up between 8-12. I rec'd a phone call around 10:30 saying that the tech was running a little behind, but he would be coming. . . so I extended my vacation day from 1/2 a day to a whole day. I started calling customer service at 1:00, called again around 2:30 again at 3:30 and each time was told that someone would be at my house to install my security system. . . .Finally at 5, I called for the final time and was conferenced in with the dispatcher and was told at that time there had been a scheduling issue. . .REALLY???? I wasted an entire day of vacation for nothing, needed to be at work due to this is a very busy time of year for me because I work in finance, and sat waiting ALL DAY LONG!!! The local AT&T gave me credit for the installation (which was very kind of them), but I am still not satisfied!!! I make more in a day than what I was credited on my account and I think more should be done! Once the appointment was rescheduled, and someone did actually show up . . . the tech that installed our door lock, did not have it working properly before he left because he said he was not responsible for adjusting the face plate and told my husband that he would have to get that working properly and he hit the road. I have to say I have never ever complained about anyone or anything like this, but burning the day of vacation upset me so bad that I thought someone needed to know. . . How will I know that this will get to someone within AT&T that actually cares about what has happened? Please respond to me if you in fact read this post. . .Laurie
It's never fun when a schedule appointment gets missed, but glad they offered you a credit for it.

I have never posted to a forum. Today I must. I was at a dental appointment when I received a call from an Att digital life technician and he wanted to come early to my appointment. I told him I would check to see if it was possible and call back. He stated that this would be fine. I attempted to call him back four times prior to my scheduled appointment time of 1 pm to 4 pm. I left a voice message. I attempted to call him twice between 1:02 and 1:18. no answer. When he did not answer I called the number for customer service 1-855-288-2727 and told the agent I spoke with what had happened and that I wanted to be sure that he had not cancelled my appointment. she stated appointment was not cancelled and because it was 1:26 she couldn't do anything. That the technician would be there between the scheduled time. I waited until 4:25 and called the technician back, he answered this time and said that my appointment had been cancelled. he said he was sorry but I was suppose to call back although I did not tell him to cancell the appointment. I called the customer service number and was told that I had cancelled the appointment and no new appointment was scheduled for me. Wow, why would I cancelled and not reschedule. I am upset not because of the miscommunication but because I called to verify and was told a lie. If you don't know something or if you are not sure. Say so. I wasted a whole day after leaving the dentist office to sit in a car for several hours and then be told that I have to wait for several days to get a new appointment. Made me wonder about the service. I too have been an att customer for a number of years. I don't often get angry or upset. Today I am both. How do you cancel an appointment and not speak to your customer and since I have your equipment why would you not reschedule. I know nothing will be done but I just needed to say this so perhaps it will not happen again.

I was stood up yesterday, with a reschedule for the 19th...
Good to see that someone at ATT cares...
Any way to get someone to my address sooner than the 19th?
And, can I ask for some form of credit on my first bill?
My account # is [edited for privacy-please do not post personal or unique information such as but not limited to full names, employee ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, etc.]
Sorry, I didn't think an account number by itself would b bad...
I need to amend my complaint---I work on the Internet and the "overbooking" which made my Internet not get installed on the apointment date is a huge setback in terms of business commitments...
I truly hope someone at ATT respects this and I recieve compension of some sort...
I too had an appointment with AT&T Digital Life today 8-10 a.m. i received a reminder text yesterday, and replied YES to confirm the appointment. Right now, it's 10:22 a.m. and I have Not received a call to explain the delay.
My concern is that I was never able to speak to a live customer service rep regarding the installation/setup of Digital Life. I'm on their website now, and tried to click on the "Support" tab to possibly speak of live chat with someone about my appointment. IT DOESN"T WORK!!!!! So frustrated! I don't think that anyone is going to show up for the appointment that they created for me! I took time off to be home for this appointment, and there is no one to talk to about it!!!! REALLY???? Is this what you call customer service? SOMEONE AT AT&T CONTACT ME, PLEASE.
MRS. Kassian
P.S. I just finished typing when my phone rang. Erica at AT&T Digital Life says technician is on another call, and do I still want him to come out.....uh ...YES!!! She says that she will have him call me. I hope that I do receive a call from the technician to let me know of his arrival time.
I will let you know.....
We apologize for that experience, Mrs. Kassian. We show the appointment was completed on yesterday. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do to assist.
Scheduled two appointments for AT&T digital life - both were a no show! Received a text confirmation that they were coming between 6-8 pm for the first appointment and they did not show up. After calling and complaining about the no show/no call we subsequently agreed to make another appointment; giving them the benefit of the doubt. Guess what?!: they did not show or call on the second appointment either. So, we wasted two evenings waiting!!!. very unprofessional and not reliable for a "security" service!. They do not seem to need our business....
Similar experience for me too. I was stood up. My appointment time was 8-4pm (h our window) on last friday and even then, no one showed up. I called 6 times to the customer support and it was one of the worst customer service I have received so far. the agents are not friendly, they do not empathize with your situation nor will go an extra mile to help.. Forget aout extra mile, they wont even do their job of providing assistance.
Before I get an auto response asking me to send an email with my details, let me tell you .. I did send the details in an email before writing this here.
Honest to God, I never write in forums. I worked at Comcast for 5 years as a technician, and I never experienced such a disgraceful customer service department as I have had with AT&T. I mean, I worked at Comcast for God's sake! And they're horrible! I called to get internet service turned on at my house because the cable company was going to take a week to come out (this was on a Friday that the call was placed). I have a 3 year old, I need Netflix. One week was entirely way too long in a new house without him having some sort of familiarity. I called AT&T who said that after I had placed my order with them, they would see where I could fit in their install schedule. The rep said, "Looks like we can get you in on Monday." I said, "Cool! Monday, like this coming Monday, right?" He said, "Yes." I completed the order with him. Saturday night I get an email that says my appointment time has been moved to two weeks from then. I'm disgusted but tired of dealing with everything, so I decide to wait anyway. Finally the installation day arrives (a Thursday), and I've been given an 8am-8pm time frame. I receive a text that says someone will be there at some point that day. I was given a 12 hour time frame! I take the day off work. No one calls. No one shows up. I call at 4 o'clock, someone will be there they say. 6 o'clock, someone will be there they say. And finally, 9 o'clock... "We're sorry, we're overbooked. We've got you scheduled for tomorrow, first thing in the morning." I take another day off of work, no one calls. I call in at 2 o'clock and they say, "We're sorry, we're overbooked. We can re-schedule you for the following Tuesday." Seriously? I've been on hold for over a half hour now waiting to speak to a supervisor. Even then, what's going to happen? Likely nothing. Not once in all of my phone calls has anyone even once offered to credit my account, or even wave the $99 installation fee. I'll give plenty of grace where it's needed. I know what it's like to be a technician that is overloaded. But even at Comcast, I was never allowed to push a customer back a day, let alone through the weekend and into next week. This is a disgrace. Comcast is better. Comcast is better! That pains me to even say that. This is the WORST customer service experience I have ever had with a company. From being lied to so they could make a sale, to the following lies of installation dates. Hands down, this is a horrible experience. I will never recommend anyone use AT&T for their home internet service.

SULLY ERNA Says GODSMACK Will Take 2013 Off
ARTISTdirect.com editor-in-chief Rick Florino recently conducted an interview with GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
ARTISTdirect.com: Do you feel like the "Avalon" box set is the best gateway into and overview of your world?
Sully: Yeah, I'm really happy with it. We all just stumbled onto this idea. The more I was doing solo activity, the more I was documenting. At first, we didn't even realize we were capturing what we had. We had a couple of friends, myself, and some of the band filming in the studio while we were recording the record. Later on, when we were trying to make something out of nothing, I handed this editor a big box of tapes and said, "Make some kind of cool, making-of thing." I didn't it was going to be for all of this. That's what triggered this whole thing. It went from finding this really cool making-of the album to tying into the whole theme of music for me. When I was going out on my solo shows, it had "an evening with," "Storytellers" vibe. I fell upon this idea of, "Wow, what a gift music really is." That started triggering all of this stuff. What I started to realize, just from sharing a bottle of wine with somebody, we'd be talking about music and theory and how music is just vibrations. It's just strings vibrating, and yet when they create different frequencies, it creates emotions in people — even without lyrics. You can hear a violin player play something and get teary-eyed. I thought, "This is heavy, man. That really is the power of music. It's a miracle." It's a universal language, and it's almost unexplained. From there, we'd film a live show. All of these different things became components for the box set. We kept building off of that. Once we had the idea of putting this together as a package, we started thinking, "What else can we include?" That's when we came up with the "Golden Ticket" concept. We wanted to personalize it so it's "Sully Erna everything." It's a little bit of a history of me and my life, from how I grew up to what my favorite t-shirts and incenses are. Plus, it's the making-of everything.
ARTISTdirect.com: Does the open the door to the next project?
Sully: Of course! I'm building towards branding my name and freeing up myself to do what I want to do without having a ceiling over my head. As much as I love GODSMACK and my boys in GODSMACK, it really is what it is. Over the years, we've tried to branch out and create songs like "Serenity" and "Shine Down". Even though our audience accepted it and they became successful singles on the radio, they weren't really crossover singles for us. They were kind of saying, "They're cool songs, but when are you guys going to play 'The Enemy' or 'Bad Religion'? Let's get back to the muscle!" [laughs] Over the years, we've identified GODSMACK to be a powerhouse rock band, which it should be, but there's also this other side of me. I can't keep it trapped inside. I have to explore it and release this other kind of music that I love playing. I also love sitting down at the piano with my daughter and creating music and playing acoustically. "Avalon" helped me branch out and allow more vulnerability and things like that. That creates an opportunity to not have a ceiling over my head whether it gets into acting, TV, film, and different things I'd like to pursue. I think it's going to open up that avenue for me. I heard an interview with [AEROSMITH's] Tom Hamilton, and he struck the nail right on the head for me. He said, "I realized music is always something I wanted to do with my life, but it's not everything I wanted to do with my life." I was like, "Boom, there it is right there. That's exactly how I feel. Music is one of those things I wanted to do my whole life, but I also realized that it's not everything I want to do." Even though I think I'll always be a musician and entertain in some way, I may want to tap into some other avenues and continue to brand myself rather than being pigeonholed into a certain genre of music.
ARTISTdirect.com: What's next with GODSMACK?
Sully: We're going to take some time away now because we just ran for the last two years. It's time for us to take a break and get away from the markets for a little bit so we don't overplay them. We're taking 2013 off. Maybe towards the end of the year or early 2014, we may start getting into the studio and writing. Now, we're going to lay low. We may pop up once in a while to do a radio festival or something. I'm going to take all of 2013 to focus on my solo stuff and see any doors I can open along the way.

Recent false alarm scares in US airports have exposed the lack of training and preparation for large evacuations of people in public areas, travel experts told NBC News.
It has happened three times at major airports this summer, the latest at Los Angeles International on Sunday, when rumors of gunfire sent thousands of people fleeing from terminals and onto airfields and roads, forcing authorities to stop flights and send all travelers back through security checkpoints.
Similar panics unfolded at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport: a mistaken report of shots fired on Aug. 14 and a false bomb scare on June 29.
U.S. & World
Anthony Roman, who runs a security consulting firm in New York said having people in an active tarmac, an environment they're absolutely unfamiliar with, and allow them to go on open roadways while traffic is still moving, is obscene.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs and polices JFK, did not return messages seeking comment on Monday. Neither did the Los Angeles Airport Police Division.

Taarab, the intoxicating Afro-Arab-Indian music from the East African coast, has been surprisingly available lately, if you know where to look. John Storm Roberts opened our ears about 25 years ago with his Songs the Swahili Sing (Original Music OMCD 024), and then Globestyle Records in the '80s kept things moving with a series of fascinating releases documenting the styles of Zanzibar and the Mombasa coast. These recordings may still be found with an assiduous search. Recently Buda Musique has launched the ambitious Zanzibara series, which promises new revelations.
With everything else I've had going on, I'm just getting around to posting some of this music. I just finished digitizing about 24 hours worth of East African 45s that I've had stashed away on 10" tape reels, including a couple of taarabs. They were dubbed for me by Ron Sakolsky many years ago, and they're primo examples of the style.
The Black Star Musical Club, from Tanga, Tanzania, was founded in the 1950s, and played a crucial role in establishing the modern taarab sound. Werner Graebner writes in the liner notes of Nyota: Classic Taarab Recordings from Tanga (Globestyle ORBCD 044, 1989):
. . . It was the strong cross-fertilization between taarab and dance music, the interchange of musicians and instruments, which produced the excitement of the new style and made it acceptable to the broader public. the Black Star Musical Club introduced guitar and bass guitar into taarab, the guitar often being played in the style well-known through Tanzanian and Zaïrean dance music. The normal line-up of the group featured the following instruments: 2 guitars, accordion, organ, taishokoto, bass guitar, rika and manyanga. Influences on the rhythms came from dance music (samba and rumba) as well as from local ngoma (dances of the different ethnic groups resident in Tanga and the vicinity). . .Werner credits Black Star vocalist Shakila (née Tatu Saïdi) with establishing a new vocal style shorn of the melisima and vibrato characteristic of classical taarab. Shakila and her husband left Black Star in 1971/72 to establish a new group, Lucky Star Musical Club, which is featured along with Black Star on Nyota.
Here are two recordings from 1973 by Black Star Musical Club, sides A & B of Melodica 7-6247. I don't know who sings lead on "Mno Nasubini," but I suspect the vocals on "Alpenzi Na Kiumbe" are by Sharmila (Jalala Rashid, above), who took Shakila's place in the band:
Black Star Musical Club - Mno Nasubini
Black Star Musical Club - Alpenzi na Kiumbe
Tupendane S. Club represents an older tradition in taarab, that of the big orchestras. I know nothing about the group or the lead vocalist, Mohamed Juma, but Ron Sakolsky suspects they are from Zanzibar. This tune is Sides 1 & 2 of the 45 Zombe ZM 4:
Mohamed Juma & Tupendane S. Club - Pendo ni Pepo ya Dunia Pts. 1 & 2
More taarab can be found at Sterns or on Amazon.

It appears the origin for the violence in Chicago tonight originates from the alignment of various left wing teams: Occupy Wall Street, Anarchists, the Soros funded MoveOn.Org, F**k The Police, Black Lives Matter, and organized with the campaign team of Bernie Sanders:
MoveOn.Org has now officially taken credit for the chaos – Statement HERE – and below.
FTP means "F**k The Police"
MoveOn has been an advocacy group for the Bernie Sanders campaign as noted below in their celebration of the win in Michigan:
The alignment of Occupy Wall Street, Anarchists, F**k The Police (FTP) and Black Lives Matter (BLM) groups has been growing since 2010/2011. The events in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014/2015 brought in the Pro-Islamist contingents to also coordinate the anti-American sentiment.
Tonight's outcome in Chicago is entirely caused by these same Left-Wing ideologues, professional provocateurs, communists and all the progressive antagonists who hate America, and the concept of American Exceptionalism…

Review: Slappy Cakes, Publika
>> Sunday, November 1, 2015
Overall comment: Fun way to enjoy pancakes!
Halal: Pork-free
When my blogger friend Pancake extended the invitation to me to review Slappy Cakes, little did I know that this place is actually a pancake parlour & not a dessert cafe. It felt as if Pancake invited me to review his minions...hahaha...
Slappy Cakes first started in the year 2009, in Portland, Oregon. Since then, it has expanded to Maui, Japan, Philippines, Singapore & even Malaysia.
The main thing about Slappy Cakes isn't just the fluffy pancakes, but the fun in designing your own pancakes at your own griddle!
The Kuala Lumpur outlet of Slappy Cakes at Publika, Solaris Dutamas is spacious with fun, bright colors to create a fun atmosphere to enjoy the delicious pancakes. I'm reminded of the typical American diner restaurants when I stepped into Slappy Cakes; the hanging-from-ceiling lights, long tables, narrow restaurant (or more like long & deep). Here at Slappy Cakes, you don't just get their signature pancakes, but also the all-day breakfast, entrees, salads & some desserts.
Your own griddle
Slappy Leomonade (RM8.00/glass)
Slappy takes pride in its home-made items like their lemonade. The sour taste of lemons is well-balanced with sugar syrup to give this drink a refreshing 'kick'.
Diners can choose from 4 different batters. I felt that each of the flavor has its unique characteristics. If you're a hard-core traditionalist, the buttermilk batter (RM9.00/bottle) will not disappoint. This simple, fluffy pancake batter will satisfy your craving for some good pancakes.
Chocolate fans wouldn't want to miss out trying the chocolate batter (RM12.00/bottle). It's rich & chocolatey, but I feel that when balanced with a non-chocolate batter, the pancakes taste much better.
Peanut butter lovers can enjoy the peanut butter batter (RM12.00/bottle) as well & those who are more 'health-conscious' can opt for the whole wheat batter (RM12.00/bottle).
You can also top your pancakes with an assortment of condiments (RM3.00 - RM3.50/serving) like their home-made strawberry jam, home-made lemon curd, home-made cinnamon creme fraiche, white chocolate chips, & even fresh strawberries & blueberries (plus loads of other choices).
Home-Made Strawberry Jam (RM3.50/serving)
Home-Made Lemon Curd (RM3.50/serving)
Home-Made Cinnamon Creme Fraiche (RM3.50/serving)
White Chocolate Chips (RM3.00/serving)
Get creative & 'draw' your own pancake!
Mine turned out really weird after it 'bubbled'...hahaha...the best part with the pancakes is that they don't stick to the griddle nor are they 'oily'!
Fluffy pancakes!
Let your creative juices flow...you can even make crepes with the pancake batter!
Drizzle with the lemon curd & top it with strawberries & blueberries *yums*
Pancake trying to create his crepe
Actually thin pancakes/crepes tastes really delicious - crispy!
House-Made Granola (RM15.00/serving)
Served over Greek yogurt & topped with fresh fruits & bananas
I actually miss having this! I had quite a fair bit of such granolas in Australia & it was delicious plus healthy. The Greek yogurt takes getting used to, but I just love the crunch from the granola, crisps from the apples, & the freshness of the berries, coupled with the smoothness of bananas, all in each mouthful :)
Slappy Benedict (RM23.00/serving)
Sauteed spinach, mushrooms & turkey bacon with pureed roasted garlic & sundried tomatoes topped with 2 poached eggs & hollandaise sauce on house-made English muffins, served with potatoes.
Not every restaurant serves good eggs benedict & I have to say that Slappy Cakes actually serves pretty good ones.
Ooze out, babeh...
The ingredients below the perfectly poached egg
Grilled Salmon Aglio Olio (RM22.00/serving)
Salmon cube, sweet basil, black olives & chili flakes
This was one of my favorites for the night; so well seasoned! I love the aromatic sweet basil & the zing from the chili flakes. The salmon cubes add a delish touch to the simple aglio olio. Yums!
Pancake drawing his final (signature) pancake: Doraemon
It's actually quite alike *wow*

If you're looking for a fun time with family & friends over some simple, delectable pancakes & warm food, give Slappy Cakes a try. So far, the feedback that I've heard on this place were all positive. Enjoy your dining experience at Slappy Cakes!

The loss this week: drumroll...1.3 pounds. YESSSSSS!! I'm finally being honest with myself, logging my food to the calorie, every bite, lick and taste, keeping away from the sugar that begins my binges and getting in all exercise minutes.
Last week I ran 45 miles; 19.5 miles was HIIT on the treadmill, the remainder on trail in the 10 minute mile range. I lifted 3x for a total of 174 minutes. My 'average daily exercise minutes' : 98
For nutrition I averaged 1376 calories each day, did a 7 day zig zag of 1254 to 1789. That 1789 is the day of the planned splurge meal. No all day feast as per BFL.
My team at Leanness Lifestyle is still in first place. We've lost 65 pounds (13 of us), Team in Second place has lost 49 pounds and Team in Third place has lost 46 pounds. Isn't that amazing?!! I love it. I'm going to apply for Bootcamp Intensive II which begins April 6. It's awesome.
Tonight is our teleconference. All 43 of us hopping on the phone line to learn and discuss with our coach.
Today: 40 minutes HIIT on treadmill; 4.86 miles; tonight: 60 minutes on trail with Topaz: 6 miles, 50 minutes RT; Triceps, back. Big activity day just because it all fits in today.
Nutrition: (low zig zag)
M1: 1 egg, 4 whites, 2 c. frozen pea pods, cauliflour, brocolli
M2: 5 whites, 2 c. brocolli
M3: 3 oz canned chicken, 1 chopped apple, 1 c chopped celery, 1 c chopped carrots, 1 T nf mayo
M4: 3 oz tuna, 1 apple
M5: 6 oz salmon, 2 c sauted cabbage
If I'm ravenous because of the high activity I'll add another meal and have a mid zig zag. Flexibility.

Shad Boats
Shad boats are the official state boats of North Carolina. They were first developed around Roanoke Island after the Civil War, when a shortage of suitable trees for periaugers and an increase in fishing required strong, shallow-draft workboats. This boat type has several names, all linking a locality with the vessel's use, including "Dare County shad boat," "spritsail shad boat," "Albemarle Sound boat," "Croatan fishing boat," and "Pamlico Sound boat." The design was limited geographically to the area from Elizabeth City to Ocracoke Island and neighboring sounds. (North Carolina's shad boats should not be confused with late-nineteenth-century V-bottom shad boats made in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.)
Shad boats were first built in the 1870s by George Washington Creef, who combined traditional split-log techniques with conventional plank-on-frame construction. The original Creef design was extremely successful and in high demand by coastal fishermen. Creef taught many others to build this vessel, which soon became one of the better and more handsome North Carolina workboats. His boat works produced shad boats from the 1870s through the early 1930s, while other builders turned out similar designs.
The keel was a hewn white cedar trunk, and the curved frames were cut from buttress roots. The hand-shaped keel log reflects descent from the split-log dugouts (periaugers) that utilized a similar centerpiece. Early shad boats had round bottoms with curved frames and a high, square stern to hold nets. Combining cypress frames with cedar or juniper planking made the craft extremely durable. The round bottom, wide beam, and full body, coupled with an upright, raked stem and a raking heart-shaped stern, made the boat extremely stable even in rough water. Most shad boats had no deck except for narrow washboards, or "side-decks." They were powered by a large sprit mainsail and a jib, but many also carried a topsail and occasionally used a flying jib. The combination of the round bottom, sturdy hull, and multiple sails helped fishermen maneuver in the unpredictable sounds.
Gas engines gave later boats greater versatility, but cheaper wood, overuse, and engine vibration made these newer boats much less durable than their sailing predecessors. Engine-powered boats did not require sophisticated hull designs that worked most efficiently in variable winds, so few of the complex, round-hull shad boats were built after the 1920s. There are five shad boats in the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, including an original Creef boat.

I want to slim down a phpBB database, this is one of the required steps in my larger project to repair a broken phpBB 3.0.14 forum.
But, the forum being broken, I am *also* not able to use the administration CP to prune the one largest subforum: the Recycle Bin.
At this point, I'm going to purge it with PhpMyAdmin, since the STK doesn't mention the option apparently. But let us not screw up, right?
I think I got it right, could you please give me a confirmation/infirmation?
First, I should run
Code: Select all
DELETE FROM phpbb3_posts WHERE forum_id = 15
I tested it with care, running
Code: Select all
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM phpbb3_posts WHERE forum_id = 15
(Honest confession, calculating the actual byte result size of this query, Stackoverflow style, is beyond my abilities)
I think I should continue with the phpbb3_topics category, to remove references to the titles, also?
Code: Select all
DELETE FROM phpbb3_topics WHERE forum_id = 15
In the end, even if we end up with orphaned elements for some reason, as long as they are weightless and I managed to greatly reduce the size of my database, it will count as a victory.
Do you think those queries would do the work?
Or wouldn't it be enough, should I perform more?
Or is it folly to try to do that, it would only wreak havoc in the database?
Thanks to share your thoughts

Government Surveillance Is on the Rise, Says Google
Google released its sixth Transparency Report on Tuesday, showing what it believes is a clear trend: around the world, government requests for user data is on the upswing.
"As you can see from the graph below, government demands for user data have increased steadily since we first launched the Transparency Report," wrote Dorothy Chou, senior policy analyst at Google, in a blog post. "In the first half of 2012, there were 20,938 inquiries from government entities around the world. Those requests were for information about 34,614 accounts."
Government requests for Google to remove content rose dramatically over the past six months, too. "In the first half of 2012, there were 1,791 requests from government officials around the world to remove 17,746 pieces of content," noted Chou.
Google's latest Transparency Report covers January to June of 2012. Newly added this time around are bar graphs to display trends over time and a list of Frequently Asked Questions about Google's transparency policies that's been translated into 40 languages. The company also added some new answers to that list, detailing how it handles fake content removal requests:
"From time to time, we receive falsified court orders," says the Google FAQ. "We do examine the legitimacy of the documents that we receive, and if we determine that a court order is false, we will not comply with it."
Google has been issuing semiannual Transparency Reports showing government requests received by the company since early 2010. Other technology companies, including Twitter and Dropbox, have also began publishing similarly-spirited information.
How should Google handle government data and takedown requests? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski: Physics Girl (Next Einstein)
At age 14, Sabrina Pasterski walked into the campus offices of M.I.T. to present her single-engine plane. Yes, at only 14, Pasterski had built and flown her own single-engine plane and was seeking approval from some of the most brilliant minds at M.I.T. to notarize the airworthiness of her aircraft.
Pasterski, now 22, has already graduated from M.I.T.; she is now a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard. Much like her predecessors Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, Pasterski explores the complex nature of gravity, spacetime, and black holes. The out-of-this-world physics brain lists many skills on her bare-bones website, physicsgirl.com.
Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is an American physicist from Chicago, Illinois. She is a first generation Cuban-American who completed her undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is currently a graduate student atHarvard University. She is studying String Theory and High Energy Physics. Pasterski was 12 when she co-piloted FAA1 atAirVenture.At 21, Pasterski introduced Harvard to 'the Triangle' and the Spin Memory Effect, completed 'the Triangle' for E&M at MIT and then, at 22, during a Harvard Faculty Conference, spoke about whether or not those concepts should be applied to Black Hole Hair. She has received job offers from Blue Origin, an aerospace company founded by Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Many profound minds have taken note of Pasterski and her undeniable genius. Nima Arkani-Hamed, a Princeton professor who won the inaugural $3 million Fundamental Physics Prize, told OZY that he's heard "terrific things" about Pasterski from her advisor, Harvard professor Andrew Strominger. Jeff Bezos, one of Pasterski's role models, has lauded her achievements and granted her a standing offer to join Amazon whenever she is ready.
On her preference to avoid booze, cigarettes, and boys, Pasterski says, "I'd rather stay alert and hopefully known for what I do, and not what I don't do." She plans to continue her work in physics as long as possible. "Physics itself is exciting enough. It's not like a 9-to-5 thing. When you're tired, you sleep, and when you're not, you do physics." All we can say is we want to be friends with this girl

LONDON (Reuters) - British television star Jimmy Savile is suspected of carrying out an unprecedented number of sex offences including 31 rapes, police said on Wednesday in their most comprehensive review of the scandal.
Revelations about Savile, who died last year, provoked outrage across Britain where he had been a household name since the 1960s.
News of Savile's crimes threw his main employer the BBC into turmoil, led to resignation of the BBC's director general just 54 days into his job and provoked awkward questions for his predecessor Mark Thompson, who recently took over as chief executive of the New York Times.
Detectives launched their inquiry 10 weeks ago following reports in a TV documentary that Savile had abused young girls on BBC premises and at hospitals where he did charity work.
Since then, 450 people had come forward with allegations about Savile, mostly dealing with sexual abuse, said police.
Savile was now a suspect in 199 crimes, the vast majority of them involving children or young people, the force added.
"These levels of reporting of sexual abuse against a single individual are unprecedented in the UK," the police said in a statement.
Detectives have been examining three categories of alleged offences: those involving only Savile, which make up the majority of cases; those involving Savile and others; and those which had no direct link to Savile.
So far six men have been arrested and another questioned by London police.
Those quizzed include Max Clifford, Britain's most high-profile celebrity publicist, former BBC radio DJ Dave Lee Travis and former glam-rock singer Gary Glitter.
They have all denied any wrongdoing.
"Our officers will continue to investigate allegations made against those who potentially can be brought to justice," the police statement said. "More arrests nationally will be forthcoming."
A one-time professional wrestler with a penchant for garish outfits, Savile became famous as a pioneering DJ in the 1960s before hosting prime-time TV shows until the 1990s.
He ran about 200 marathons for charity, raising tens of millions of pounds for hospitals, leading some to give him keys to rooms where victims now allege they were abused.

The thing that bothers me about dealing Kearns is the defense factor. He is our only above average defender in the OF and our pitchers need all he help we can get. Denorfia is a good defensive outfielder but not at the caliber of Kearns. He is our only potential gold glover... atleast in the OF (BP)
As much as I hate to ear crow (I have been a staunch supporter of Dunn and that it would be rediculous deal a franchise cornerstone of his caliber. He is a once in a decade guy but...) dealing him really makes more sense for the team. He is a liablity in left, he really needs to move to 1B. Him and Griffey in the same OF just isn't good. Hell I'd be alright with Griffey to 1b too but in reality this type of move wont happen untill Spring Training. I love Chris Denorfia and really want to see him get a significant amount of playing time, but he'd be the ideal to deal. I think this team has good chemistry and dealing Kearnsy or Dunn will put a serere ripple in that. I think Freel is too important of a super sub to deal is well.
Its a tough decison Kriv is going to have to make because we clearly still need some help and to get that we are gonna have to deal players of value... should be interesting to see what unfolds.
