Q. Recently, I have been getting a lot of headaches. New for me. Went to the primary doc and he sent me for an MRI. Talked about it to a friend and mentioned that I had been to the dentist and had some work done recently. She said that it might have been the dental work that caused the headaches. Is that possible? -- S.E.
A. I need to ask a few more questions, and yes, it is possible for patients to have what they describe as headaches after dental treatment. It is unusual and I would need to pose some possibilities for why this could happen.
I would first need to know a more-complete history of your head pain. Have you had this kind of pain before? If so, for how long? Was it the same intensity and in the same place? Is there a trigger that you can stimulate to cause it again or change the intensity? Was it similar to the type of head pain you might get from eating something that is extremely cold quickly? In other words, I would need a little more explanation to rule out some of the other more-significant causes of head pain. I would hope that your doctor had taken the time to ask some of these questions prior to referring you for an MRI.
As far as a dental procedure and it alone causing some post treatment head pain, yes, there are a number of reasons that this can happen. The most-common of these relate to upsetting the relationship of your upper and lower jaws and thereby causing muscular stress. During any dental procedure, in order to facilitate your treatment, it is necessary for you to use those muscles to open your mouth. They are activated when you are asked �Open, please." If the dentist or hygienist loses sight of that fact, they may not let you periodically relax and inactivate those muscles. Just like any other muscles in your body, if they are not used to being stretched on a regular basis and are overused, they will react with pain.
Because these muscles are part of your head structures, this can easily be interpreted by you as an average headache. I know that as a dentist, sometimes I get into a lengthy procedure and it becomes very intense. I might lose sight of the fact that you the patient have to work at keeping your mouth open to accommodate my treatment and then your muscles might get overworked. If a general surgeon is operating on you, they do not have to think about things like this, as you usually are sedated or asleep.
With dentistry, most times we as practitioners only control the possibility of pain during the procedure and the rest needs your help and cooperation. We need to let you the patient rest periodically, so that these muscles are not overstressed. If pain occurs after the procedure and you consult the dentist, he or she will probably prescribe some anti-inflammatory medication with or without a muscle relaxant. In 24 to 48 hours, if this was the cause of your head pain, the medications along with your resting the muscles and chewing soft food will usually resolve the problem.
Another possible dental cause for this headache-type pain is the possibility that the relationship of your upper and lower jaws was changed as a result of some dental restoration or filling. As a dentist, the object in treating you is to not upset that relationship, but normal human error can occur. If the dentist released you from treatment with a filling that was too high or too tight between your teeth or not tight enough between your teeth, an alteration of the normal will occur and muscle pain is a possibility. It is critical that the dentist does everything he or she can to eliminate this from happening, but if it does, you have to make the dentist aware that something feels strange in your mouth. Even if this happens after you leave the office, it is important to not neglect it. Yes, it is possible for your muscles to accommodate this change without causing headaches or pain but it should be addressed in every instance.
We as health practitioners try to make no mistakes, but occasionally we do and need you to be comfortable addressing that possibility with a question or concern. Then it will be up to your dentist to evaluate that concern and either rectify it or explain to you why it occurred and whether or not a change needs to be made.
I do realize that patients often think that �the doctor knows best,� but as I said prior, we are human and do make errors and need patient feedback to help us achieve the proper result of our treatment. That proper result is to deliver our care in a kind and pain-free manner with as little post-operative discomfort as possible.
S.E., I hope this has answered your very important question that I believe many patients have unduly endured.

It's likely that the full details of the last few days, including a trip up Table Mountain, a pot-luck couchsurfing dinner, Eurovision madness and some pretty hairy cab rides will have to wait for a while. In the mean time I'll leave you with a picture from a trip today to the Cape of Good Hope with three couchsurfers who are living here. I'll have to lighten the water a little but given that it took me such a long time to get the panorama set up, I'm not going to do that just now, so here's an outrageously big panorama (this thumbnail is roughly 1/30th the size of the full size version):

Adobe has officially released its PhoneGap 2.0 open source mobile app development framework designed for cross-platform mobile applications using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
Another brick in the "Abobe looks to HTML5 instead of Flash" wall, PhoneGap technology came to Adobe as an acquisition in October 2011 and now allows developers to take a web application and deploy it natively as a phone application to the Apple, Android, BlackBerry, or Palm device app stores.
NOTE: Here's the USP — With PhoneGap, you can reuse existing web developer skills and use the PhoneGap API to gain access to native features that aren't accessible in mobile browsers.
Key features include Cordova WebView, a means of integrating PhoneGap as a view fragment into a bigger native application. As expected there is now enhanced documentation support with getting-started guides, plugins, and migration instructions.
The Command Line Tooling (CLI) function straddles Android, iOS, and BlackBerry and brings a standard nomenclature to common tasks across platforms such as project creation, debugging, and emulation. But why should that be important? Adobe explains that "normally" these are different incantations for each platform vendor making cross-platform development workflow inconsistent and jarring; they've fixed that.
The Web Inspector Remote (Weinre) tool has been ported to nodejs. Adobe says that the availability of a node module means easy installation using Node Package Manager (NPM).
NOTE: Weinre is a debugger designed to be used on web pages running on a remote device. It is specifically targeted for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Also included with this release is:
- Cordovajs (Support for unified JavaScript across platforms) — Adobe says that it has seen "dramatic advancements" to performance, security, and API symmetry across platforms thanks to efforts in unifying its own JavaScript layer.
- Transition to Apache Cordova — and nearing graduation from incubation.
- Windows Phone support.
- Improvement to iOS app creation — We've implemented significant changes for the iOS platform.
NB: With regard to the iOS improvements — Adobe developer Shazron Abullah writes on his own blog as follows, "With the release of Apache Cordova 2.0.0 there are some significant changes for the iOS platform. We've removed the problematic Xcode templates, and updated our support to iOS 4.2 and greater only. Support for ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) was planned but pushed to a later release (tentatively scheduled for 2.1.0)."
But for more "officially sanctioned" quotes we can also learn…
"PhoneGap 2.0 is all about a vastly improved developer experience," said Brian LeRoux, lead developer for PhoneGap. "Our docs are now much more comprehensive, including the long-requested commitment to our Plugin API. Developers are going to have a supported way to use the PhoneGap bridge to build their own browser APIs for native calls."
"The PhoneGap community is bigger and stronger than ever with new contributors since last year like Google, Microsoft, RIM, and HP," said Andre Charland, director of Engineering for PhoneGap at Adobe. "With a bigger community and additional resources from Adobe, we're shipping new versions of PhoneGap much faster than a year ago."

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russia needs to develop "offensive strike systems" to preserve strategic balance with the United States, without producing its own missile defense, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.
Putin's comment, made at a press briefing in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok, echoed a similar call from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev last week.
"If we want to retain the balance, we have to establish an exchange of information: Let the U.S. partners provide us information on [their] missile defense while we will give them information on [our] offensive weapons," Putin said.
Putin also spoke positively about ongoing negotiations between the two countries on a new nuclear arms control agreement that would replace the U.S.-Russian START treaty, which expired December 5.
The United States and Russia plan to complete it and sign it at the beginning of 2010, Russian and American leaders have said. As envisioned, the new treaty would significantly reduce nuclear arms on both sides.
"I think that we need certain rules on weapons limitation which could be equally understood, easily verifiable and transparent," Putin said. "The existence of those rules is better than their absence."
He repeated that offensive and defensive arms should be linked, because they are closely related.
"It was the balance of forces -- including missile defense, air defense and offensive weapons systems -- that preserved peace even during the Cold War," Putin said.
"Since we are not developing [our own] missile defense, there is a threat that our [U.S.] partners would feel totally secure having created an umbrella against our offensive systems," he added. "Then our partners might do whatever they want; the aggressiveness in real politics and economics would increase because of the broken balance."
Last week, in Medvedev's year-end live interview with three Russian TV channels, he reiterated that Russia will continue to develop strategic offensive missiles after the signing of the new START treaty.
"This is normal," Medvedev said. "The whole world is doing this. Of course, this work needs to take place within the framework of conventions and agreements, including our future agreements with the Americans. But this process will continue and our nuclear shield will always be effective and sufficient for protecting our national interest."
Medvedev added, "That doesn't mean that we cannot talk about a nuclear-free world. It's a beautiful and right goal. But we should approach it gradually. ... Not only Russians and Americans, but also other countries who are looking forward to joining the 'nuclear club,' thus causing many problems, should take part in it."

Helen Clark: Statement to the Development CommitteeOct 13, 2012
Statement by Helen Clark Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme and Chair of the United Nations Development Group
to the Development Committee
Tokyo, October 13, 2012
A Challenging Global Context
Decent work is a key vehicle for achieving development goals and translating economic growth into poverty reduction. It is therefore highly appropriate that the Development Committee is giving specific attention to the importance of job creation during these Annual Meetings.
The global economic slowdown has made employment generation more difficult. The sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the slow recovery in the global economy led to millions of job losses in both developed and developing countries. The austerity plans adopted by many developed countries have exacerbated the deficiency in demand, further depressing the labour market.
The protracted crisis is also impacting on international development co-operation. According to the UN Secretary General's 2012 MDG Gap Task Force Report Official Development Assistance (ODA) has declined in the past two years and trade protection measures have increased. Since the beginning of the financial crisis, around three per cent of world trade is estimated to have been subject to some form of restriction. The example set by development partners which allocate at least 0.7 per cent of their national income to ODA needs to be emulated. Strengthening the multilateral trading system by concluding the Doha development round is also long overdue.
The unfinished business of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) should be prioritized. The MDGs, launched in 2000, have mobilized support for development, bringing diverse actors together around common objectives, and guiding development frameworks and national budgets to adopt people-centered policies.
For the post-2015 development agenda to succeed in the same way, it too will need to set targets against which progress can be measured, and be easy to communicate. Discussions on the design of the post-2015 development agenda are gaining prominence. Goals and targets will need to be established across the economic, social, and environmental strands of sustainable development.
Employment generation, as a key means of reducing poverty and boosting prosperity, is central to the post-2015 development agenda. That was fully recognized in the first of the planned UN-organized global thematic consultations on the post-2015 development agenda, held in Tokyo in May. The UN system will support another ten such thematic consultations and more than fifty national consultations, and facilitate a global dialogue with citizens, especially youth, by using social media and other communication tools.
Addressing the Jobs Challenge
As is recognized in the World Bank's 2013 World Development Report, the world faces a significant jobs challenge. According to the ILO, the global unemployment figure is estimated to have increased from 170 million in 2007 to 200 million in 2012. The projection is that the numbers of people out of work will increase to 206 million in 2016. With work not only being a central part of people's life and well-being as a source of income, but also a source of human dignity and identity, rising unemployment is a serious cause for concern and needs to be addressed urgently.
Youth are disproportionately affected by unemployment, lower wages, and job precariousness. There are now an estimated 75 million unemployed young people in the world. Jobless rates among young people are expected to worsen as the slow recovery in advanced economies impacts on emerging and developing economies too.
Unemployment among women is high, and women workers tend to be concentrated in low-paid and low-skilled jobs. Women comprise around half the global labour force, but unemployment rates are generally higher for women than for men. This is also true for the female youth unemployment rate. Lower participation rates for young women often reflect cultural factors and the lack of opportunities to combine work and family care.
Other groups have also been traditionally disadvantaged in the labour market. Disability, residence status, ethnicity, age, or long-term unemployment can all constitute serious barriers to employment – in developed and developing countries alike.
The jobs crisis is compounded by forced migration due to lack of economic opportunity or conflict. In 2010, there were 105 million economically active international migrant workers globally. Many of these depend on casual low-paid work under unsafe conditions, with little job security or social protection. They also frequently suffer from discrimination and prejudice.
As we move closer to 2015, the MDG target to achieve full, productive, and decent work globally is unlikely to be met. Annual labour productivity growth has declined since 2002. Between 1990 and 2011, the employment-to-population ratio fell. The proportion of workers living below the US$1.25 a day poverty line remains high. There are still an estimated 1.5 billion vulnerable workers around the world.
The United Nations is committed to supporting developing countries to address their employment challenges in ways which promote poverty reduction and sustainable development. In our view, nine areas deserve particular focus:
1. Supporting agriculture as a major source of employment, income, and food. Higher agricultural productivity increases the incomes of smallholder farmers, creates jobs and non-farm incomes in rural areas, and is vital for food security. Public investments in rural infrastructure, agricultural science, technology and innovation, education, and extension services, and improved access to credit and financial services, especially for women farmers, are important.
2. Creating incentives for building productive industrial capacities. Employment creation calls for supporting productive investments in labour-intensive industries and value chains, including in agro-processing. Here governments can play an important role, in partnership with the private sector, in infrastructure development and through enhanced access to credit and research and technology. Creating an enabling environment is crucial: streamlined procedures for starting new businesses; effective means of dispute resolution; and good product and service standard setting all incentivise private sector investment.
3. Investing in social protection, education, and skills development. Well designed social protection schemes will reduce poverty and inequality, enhance social stability, and serve as automatic stabilizers in times of recession. Social protection programs, such as cash transfers, access to health care, and public employment programmes, are also affordable. Basic social protection programmes are estimated to cost between one and two per cent of GDP. The UN has long advocated for the merits of such programmes, including through the Social Protection Floor Initiative - a UN system-wide initiative to promote strategies for providing access to essential social services and income security for all.
4. Addressing labour market discrimination and earning wages below the poverty line as essential elements for poverty reduction. Policies which are narrowly aimed at employment creation do not automatically translate into poverty reduction. In many developing countries, employees are increasingly finding themselves earning wages below the poverty line, working shorter hours, or being in informal arrangements. Addressing employment discrimination and low income requires a combination of measures, including the removal of discriminatory laws, facilitating access to productive resources such as credit and land, and lessening the constraints on women's time.
5. Linking natural resources management with employment generation. A quarter of the real GDP growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is accounted for by the resource sector, but studies show that the extractive sector, on average, absorbs only about two to four per cent of the work force. Attention therefore needs to be given to how to link the infrastructure and services related to the extractive sectors and to the resource flows from them, to development of job-rich sectors.
6. Focusing on the service sector. Migration and rapid urbanization are pushing employment into low-productivity sectors. Contrary to predictions, the labour force in many developing economies is not moving from traditional activities, such as agriculture, into manufacturing. Instead, workers are taking up jobs in urban, and often informal, service sectors, which tend to offer low productivity and poor quality jobs. Measures to raise productivity levels and wages, as well as to improve working conditions, are needed.
7. Creating an enabling environment for job creation through pro-poor macroeconomic policies. In order to achieve stable economic growth and facilitate employment creation, the following are important
- monetary policy which focuses on growth and employment without jeopardizing macro-economic stability;
- having the policy space to adopt counter-cyclical fiscal policies;
- exchange rate regimes which facilitate trade to support job creation;
- measures which minimize the spill-over effects of financial crises;
- progressive tax systems and pro-poor public spending - for example, on social protection, employment generation, health, and education.
8. Developing statistical capabilities. There is truth in the saying that 'you cannot influence what you cannot measure'. Evidence-based policy decisions require timely and quality data. Supporting developing countries in strengthening their statistical capacity is therefore important.
9. Integrated solutions for sustainable development. The current jobs crisis cannot be solved in isolation from other global challenges. The outcome of Rio+20 highlighted how environmental protection and economic and social development are inter-linked. Ensuring environmental sustainability, however, requires shifts to new production processes and consumption patterns. Social policies and safety nets are indispensable for lessening the impact of adjustments, such as the removal of subsidies on fossil fuels. Sustainable development requires that employment generation goes hand in hand with reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and reversing environmental degradation.
The Global Jobs Pact, developed by the ILO and fully supported by the UN system, offers a pathway for addressing the jobs challenge. The above policy recommendations are consistent with the Pact, which is premised on social dialogue, collective bargaining, and respect for international labour standards. Global leaders, at G8 and G20 meetings, have also acknowledged the Pact as a relevant response to the economic slowdown. The UN is integrating the Global Jobs Pact into its operational activities at the country level.
Addressing the jobs challenge is one of the most important tasks for governments today. Creating employment opportunities for youth, women, and marginalized groups requires special attention. The world has the knowledge, tools, and mechanisms to foster job rich growth, and to make it inclusive and environmentally sustainable. The UN system is working closely with the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund in many of these areas, and we are committed to strengthen that collaboration even further.
The Importance of Disaster Risk Management for Development
Building resilience to disasters must be an integral part of all development efforts. According to ISDR, the world has lost US$2 trillion to disaster since 1992, or about 25 years of total development aid. Investing in preparedness and risk reduction works, and it pays. Every dollar invested in risk reduction saves on average seven dollars in response. Risk reduction makes economic sense. It protects our investments and it safeguards development gains. The UN therefore welcomes the attention given to disaster risk management and resilience-building during these Annual Meetings, including at the Sendai Dialogues.
In 2011 alone, almost 30,000 people were killed in 302 disasters, and 206 million people were affected, including 106 million by floods, and sixty million by drought.
The poorest and the most vulnerable are the most affected by disasters. For the poorest, recurring disasters have dire consequences, as they set back and disrupt the long-term progress of poverty reduction and development. This is especially true in drought-prone areas, where households are forced to sell livelihood assets and engage in subsistence activities, making them even more vulnerable and preventing them from escaping the poverty trap. The only way to break this vicious circle is to invest systematically in building the resilience of individuals, communities, and institutions.
In essence, disaster risk reduction is a development issue. Addressing it requires political will, good governance, and long-term approaches. Based on its mandate to address disaster risk reduction at the country level, the UN has long supported countries in successfully reducing their damages and losses from disasters. Over the last decade, countries such as Bangladesh and Mozambique have made impressive gains in this area. But much more needs to be done globally, including by committing the necessary resources for disaster risk reduction and recovery planning.
The importance of designing an effective post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction cannot be overemphasised. As the 2015 end date of the Hyogo Framework for Action approaches, it is timely to reflect on good practices and lessons learned from its implementation. The voluntary, non-binding nature of Hyogo has worked well, and there is value in exploring a similarly structured voluntary arrangement for beyond 2015. Areas for improvement could include:
- moving beyond tracking measures aimed at reducing disaster risks to measuring outcomes in terms of drop in real losses, including economic losses and loss of life;
- more convergence with developmental and environment agendas, including in the area of climate change adaptation;
- taking into account the reality of a heavily urbanized world and the importance of urban planning and building safer cities, and;
- giving greater emphasis to recovery processes.
Exploring new financing mechanisms for disaster reduction is also pertinent. Over the last decade there has been much 'soft' investment in disaster reduction, aimed at supporting institutional and legislative frameworks and developing plans and policies. This now needs to be matched with 'hard' investments in concrete risk reduction measures, such as the strengthening of meteorological capacities and coastal defence systems. Major costs are involved.
There is a natural complementarity between the work of the UN and the World Bank on disaster risk reduction. Both are building on respective comparative advantage in many countries, but there is always room for more collaboration. The UN stands ready to work with the Bank towards that end, for the benefit of our partner countries.

It's been awhile since I've had a story interpreted by the folk at Pseudopod - the venerable horror podcast. They've always done a fantastic job of it with three of my stories previously - The Sloan Men, The Inevitability of Earth and The Radejastians. Today, Steve Cropper's reading of my story Looker (originally published in Michael Kelly's anthology Chilling Tales) goes live. Just finished listening to it, and damn... it's hard for me to tell whether the story itself stands up, because Steve's reading is so good.
Check it out, right here.

Medical marijuana is the use of this drug to help treat symptoms like pain, nausea, vomiting, and lack of appetite. It's often used by people with cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and other conditions.
It's against federal law to possess, sell, give away, or grow marijuana for any purpose. It's also against federal law for doctors to prescribe this drug. But more than a dozen states have passed state laws that allow people with certain health problems to buy or grow a limited amount of marijuana for their own use. Some states also allow or license people to provide medical marijuana to those who need it.
If you use medical marijuana to treat approved medical conditions, the federal government might not prosecute you. But there's no guarantee that they won't.
Medical marijuana laws are different from state to state. If you think you might want to try medical marijuana, talk to your doctor. You can also call your state department of health or health services to learn more about the laws in your state.
The medical use of marijuana has been studied for decades. But experts still don't agree on how safe it is or how well it works.
Some medical experts don't recommend marijuana because:
Other medical experts sometimes do recommend marijuana because:
Be sure to let your doctor know if you are using medical marijuana. If you're pregnant, it's best to avoid alcohol and drugs, including marijuana.
Marijuana is usually smoked. It can also be brewed into tea, vaporized, applied to the skin, or eaten—usually mixed into food recipes.
Your mood, behavior, and ability to function may be affected for hours after you take marijuana. How quickly you feel the effects of marijuana—and how long the effects last—depends on:
Side effects include dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, and red eyes.
Some people who regularly use marijuana become addicted. This means that they keep using marijuana even though it's having harmful effects on their lives.
If you've been using marijuana regularly and then quit, you may have withdrawal symptoms. These may include:
Doctors can prescribe two legal alternatives: dronabinol (Marinol) and nabilone (Cesamet). Both of these drugs contain a man-made form of THC, the main chemical in marijuana.
Nabilone is used to relieve nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy. Dronabinol can relieve this kind of nausea and vomiting too. It may also improve the appetite of people who have AIDS. Both drugs come in pill form.
Talk to your doctor if you think these medicines might help relieve your symptoms.
Synthetic marijuana, or synthetic cannabinoids, are sold as substances having effects like those of marijuana. These drugs, sold in the form of bath salts or incense, are made in labs and have many names, such as K2 or Spice. Even though they are labeled "not for human consumption," people are more likely to try them since they are easily bought in stores and online and can't be detected by drug screenings. Also, people think they will feel the same as when they use marijuana. But these drugs are stronger than marijuana, and they are not safer than marijuana. Some people have reported severe symptoms, such as:

We stayed there until 4am on the monitors. My contractions were indeed regular and intense, but I was only dilated 1 cm, so they sent us home. And thus the 9 days of labor began. Painful contractions, 5-7 minutes apart for that period of time can do a number on ya. There was not much sleeping, a lot of breathing, a lot of trying to relax and a lot of walking. Sometimes I would lay down, but when your body's working and shifting and contracting that hard, laying still seems like the worst kind of torture. It felt good to move my hips, so I spent my days on the birthing ball and {with the approval of my midwife} finding excuses to walk. Anywhere. Pacing my living room floor, at the grocery store where I would bend over my cart /my mom to breath during contractions or bundling up in sweats and walking the neighborhood at night. More than a few times, this is where I would cry under the street lamps and emphatically inform Tyson that I could not do it anymore. That I was so tired. That I would give anything just to get this baby the heck out of me. That I was sure I was going to die by contractions. He held me and simply told me that he loved me and that I could do it. I told him he could have the next one.
My mom came up that week. She got me through. While Tyson was at work, she made me tea and gave me back rubs and cooked me two steaks a day with lots of vegetables to help keep my iron levels up. Could not have done it without her emotional and physical support that week. Thank you mama. I love you.
Finally, it was time for my next midwife appointment. I was 36 weeks. By that time, I'd been laboring for a week and was about ready to punch someone if they told me I hadn't made any progress. Luckily, I had. 4 cm dilated and 90% effaced. I actually could have kissed the woman. That meant that as soon as my contractions got closer together, it was going to be baby time! It didn't seem real. 3 more days went by. I was 36 weeks and 5 days. It was the worst kind of waiting game. With no changes in sight, I pretty much resigned myself to be in that laboring state for the next 3 weeks. Until Saturday night, October 29th at 8pm when I went to the bathroom and discovered that birth was imminent. Not two minutes later, the contractions hit hard. 1-2 minutes apart and 4 minutes long. This was it! Hallelujah!
While Tyson rushed around the house {again} gathering our last minute hospital items, I sat on my birthing ball, put my headphones in, listened to my hypnobirthing relaxation scripts and tried to get a handle on the pain. I had trained for this for months. I had real-life practice for 9 long days. I was desperate to meet my little boy. I was ready.
When we got to the Birthing Center, I was checked at 5 cm, 100% effaced and immediately admitted. Because Everett was coming 2 days prior to 37 weeks, as we got to our room they hooked me up to a wireless monitor to measure my contractions and a heart monitor for baby. I changed into my robe, turned on my music and tried to relax. I breathed. And sometimes made strange, loud noises that not even I recognized. Tyson didn't leave my side. He whispered constant encouraging affirmations, let me squeeze his hand until I'm sure his fingers nearly fell off and filled my constant request for more Popsicles, more juice and more water.
It had been 9 hours.
At that point it was 5am and I wanted to know how far along I'd progressed. I was so tired. And from the intensity of my labor, I knew for sure I was at a 9 or a 10. Our midwife checked me. "You're doing so good" she said, "but you're still at at 7"
I cried. Sobbed actually. And got back in the tub as I met another contraction. And then even more. Suddenly it felt like something broke. The weight of the last 9 days came crashing down on me. The pain, the physical and emotional exhaustion. I was suddenly outside myself. So overcome by the pain, it felt as if I wasn't part of the experience anymore. The contractions were coming so quickly now and so intensely, I no longer had time to catch my breath and delve into relaxation anymore. And the thought that I still had 3 cm to go completely consumed me.
I remember yelling out, "I don't want to do this anymore! I can't focus! I can't breath! I'm DONE" I felt like I wasn't present in the experience. And I wanted so desperately to be. I sobbed harder. And then I literally begged on my knees for an epidural.
Finally, in the strangest combination of burning fire and rushing warmth, he was here. Tyson received him and all I heard was "oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh"
And of course, we had our happy ending - the little boy of my dreams. But then, I guess it's not the end at all.

When Michael J. Sullivan was acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, he oversaw Project Gunrunner, aimed at stemming illegal gun trafficking to Mexico.
By the time an element of the program known as Operation Fast and Furious exploded into controversy in 2011, Sullivan was working the issue from the private sector, as a lawyer hired by a gun industry group to dissuade the Mexican government from filing suit in the United States over illegal guns flowing into Mexico.
The dual roles highlight Sullivan's sometimes confusing profiles as a tough-on-crime prosecutor and a gun rights advocate. The former prosecutor and ATF acting director is the only one of the three Republicans running for US Senate in Tuesday's primary who said he would have voted against the gun compromise the Senate considered this month.
Sullivan, through campaign manager Paul Moore, refused to provide details of his involvement in fending off the threatened litigation.
"Mike's work on behalf of his clients isn't something he can speak about publicly," Moore said. "At no time has he done work for any client in opposition to the mission of ATF," Moore added.
Moore said that Sullivan aggressively enforced laws against illegal gun trafficking both as US attorney and as acting ATF director.
"They don't call him Maximum Mike for nothing; he was very vigorous in doing that," Moore said. "On the other hand, sportsman's groups and affiliated interests serve law-abiding gun owners, and that's a very different group of people involved."
Sullivan was appointed acting director of the ATF by President President George W. Bush in late 2006 and left with the start of the Obama administration in 2009.
Under Sullivan, the agency had been working to stop gun violence on both sides of the border, using firearms tracing to identify trafficking trends. But the program was later criticized for allowing individual gun smugglers to continue to send weapons into Mexico while federal agents gathered evidence and tried to build cases against a broader network. A controversy erupted after the 2010 death of a Border Patrol agent in an Arizona shoot-out was traced back to guns linked to Operation Fast and Furious.
When the federal government refused to release documents on the operation, Congress found Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt and sued the Department of Justice to obtain documents.
In 2010, the Mexican government hired a New York law firm, Reid Collins & Tsai, to pursue litigation against unspecified US defendants , citing harm being done by illegal weapons in Mexico.
The suit, which was never filed, aimed to target American sources of guns for the illegal trafficking across the border. Conservatives argued that the Mexican government was trying to shift blame for its own cartel violence to the United States.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation issued a statement in April 2011 saying that it "respects the work of [President Felipe Calderón of Mexico] to willingly take on his country's powerful drug cartels. However, we are disappointed that he would seek to hold law-abiding American companies responsible for crime in Mexico."
The foundation confirmed earlier this month that it hired Sullivan to do legal work, rather than lobbying, and that his work included the threatened litigation from Mexico.
"In 2011, the Mexican government threatened to file a lawsuit in the United Sates against members of the firearms industry alleging a legally baseless claim that members of the industry were somehow liable for the criminal misuse of firearms in Mexico," the foundation's general counsel Larry Keane said in that statement. "Mr. Sullivan assisted NSSF in responding to that threatened litigation including engaging in discussions with officials of the Mexican government."
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is located in Newtown, Conn., the site of the December elementary school shootings that galvanized the White House's unsuccessful push for increased gun control.
Sullivan has been outspoken in favor of gun rights throughout a campaign that has often focused on the issue of gun violence. Both Gabriel E. Gomez and state Representative Daniel B. Winslow, his Republican rivals, said they would have backed a compromise measure on gun control that would have eliminated the "gun show loophole" that allows gun sales from gun shows without background checks in some states.
In an interview on WGBH Thursday, Sullivan dismissed the notion of a "gun show loophole," and any connection to crime, saying, "Criminals don't pick up guns at gun shows. They get them at other places."
Asked whether the Boston Marathon bombing suspects' shootout with police last week suggested a need to limit magazine capacity or the assault weapons civilians can buy, Sullivan said no.
"The people involved in these horrific bombings . . . they wouldn't pay attention no matter which type of rules and regulations you'd put in place," he said.

The choice is yours.
Leanne and Lianne were the most identical twins the world has ever seen. They won prizes for it. No-one, not even their closest family and friends, could tell them apart. They looked identical; they sounded identical, they acted identically, and everyone thought they must actually be identical.
They weren't, though.

I suppose you could combine them into I Love Bod.
(Admission: I am too young to ever have watched Bod. I'm just a retro nerd.)

If you combine them, there may be a career counselor waiting to speak to you from a very well-known religious institution.

Once walked past my local Chinese takeaway and spotted the hard-to-miss addition of a huge sticker on their door portraying a cockroach silhouette; I made a mental note: "don't fancy this week's special". Apparently, it was a forced punishment from Environmental Health, warning locals of their lapsed hygiene standards.
Can't help feeling the only market for "I Love Boys" stickers is the same local government authorities, albeit different department; namely, the one compiling a register of neighbourhoods where certain residents are obligated to place warning stickers on their doors. Very niche market.
Not sure who'd possibly want the other sticker though. Everyone knows Clapton's dead.

While they are still longer and thicker than they were when I initially started using RapidLash, they are nowehere near how they were after 3 months of usage. Here it is for comparison:
I know eyelashes fall out and re-grow all the time, but I was expecting to see so many fall out at once. I also found that more fell out from my right eye than left one, so my eyelashes are looking a bit silly at the moment. Not a massive difference, but I can definitely see it. So why did it happen? I have no idea. I'm also not sure if I should continue using RapidLash or not. At one point I was scared all my eyelashes will fall out, although luckily they didn't and I noticed I had lots of new stumpy ones instead of the long ones. But the thing is, I don't really want to end up with wonky eyelashes in another 3-4 months' time. Also having to fork out £41 on a tube that gave me longer eyelashes for a few months, just to be back to square 1 (okay, 2), is not really great. I thought once I've achieved a nice length and thickness, I can maintain it with 2-3 applications a week, but now I have to do it daily again to re-grow my new stumpy lashes. While I'm not keen on going back to my original lashes (they do look tiny in the comparison photos), I'm also not happy to have to go through losing and re-growing my lashes every 4-5 months. Sigh.
Has this happened to anyone else? Let me know in the comments!
See more photos after the jump!

And finally pictures of my left eye. The lashes here are looking a bit better, but since the pictures were taken, more have fallen out.

The broadcast began with a great video package bout how the Elimination Chamber was the opportunity for 12 men to try and earn a main event spot at Wrestlemania.
Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker welcomed us to the show, and we're starting with an Elimination Chamber match. We will try to do updates during the course of the match, as a new pod is opened very five minutes.
WWE Champion Sheamus vs. John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Ted DiBiase.
John Cena entered first, to a mixed reaction, and they noted he was one of only two men to retain a Championship in a Chamber match, Triple H being the other one. Ted DiBiase, entering his first Chamber match, came out second. Randy Orton was out next, also getting a mixed reaction. Actually, he might have gotten less boos than Cena. Orton stared at DiBiase, who was already in his pod, during his entrance. Triple H was the fourth man out, to a big pop, and they noted he has won four out of five Chamber matches he has been in. This means Kofi Kingston who came out fifth, and Sheamus, who came out sixth, will start the match. Sheamus held the WWE Title bout in front of each man who was encased in a pod after entering the ring.
Sheamus immediately tried a pump kick at the bell, but Kofi ducked it and hit his own kicks, then a cross brodyblock. Kofi hit a dropkick and went for an early cover. Kofi applied an armbar and kicked Sheamus to the mat for another cover and a one count. Sheamus came back with a kick to the gut and a knee to Kofi's head. There was an "RKO" chant. Kingston hit some forearms to Sheamus, kicked away a backdrop attempt, but ran into a Sheamus elbow. Sheamus hit a shoulderblock. They traded reversals on a hiptoss, and Sheamus sent Kingston over the top rope. Kingston landed on the platform, hit an enzugiri, then a springboard bodypress for a two count. Kofi kicked a charging Sheamus then went for a sunset flip, but Sheamus blocked it and pounded Kofi with right hands. There was a small "Cena sucks" chant, then a "Cena" chant in response from others. Sheamus and Kofi moved out of the ring onto the metal platform. Kofi hit some kicks, but Sheamus shoved Kofi back first into the connectors to the turnbuckle. Kofi fell back into the ring, where Sheamus hit a backbreaker for a two count. Sheamus hit a kneedrop, and stomped Kofi as the first pod countdown began.
Triple H entered the match.
Triple H smiled as his pod opened. He got in the ring and went nose to nose with Sheamus. Kofi was lying on a platform outside the ring. They shoved, and Triple H unloaded with punches. Sheamus battled back with shots, but Triple H hit a jumping knee and followed with a kneedrop for two. Triple H hit a clothesline in a corner, then pounded Sheamus down. Triple H stomped him, then hit a short arm clothesline for a two count. Triple H took Sheamus onto the platform, then went to throw him into the chain wall, but Sheamus blocked it. Sheamus tried, and Triple H blocked it. Triple H clotheslined Sheamus back into the ring. Sheamus booted Triple H and went for a powerbomb, but Triple H floated out and hit a DDT for a two count. Kofi got on the top rope and went for a bodypress on HHH. Triple H ducked, and Kofi hit Sheamus instead for a two count. Kofi chopped and kicked HHH and Sheamus, then whipped them together. Kofi punched Sheamus in a corner, then hit a flying clothesline. Triple H rolled to a platform, and Kofi hit a slingshot double legdrop on Triple H on the steel platform. As Kofi got up, Sheamus clotheslined him, and pulled him into the ring for a two count. Sheamus kicked Kofi and HHH as the next countdown took place.
Randy Orton entered the match.
Orton attacked Sheamus and pounded him down in a corner, then stomped Triple H repeatedly. Orton forearmed Kofi to the mat, then stomped Sheamus, while an "RKO" chant started up. Orton kneedropped Triple H, then gave one to Sheamus for a two count. Orton threw Sheamus to the platform, then kicked HHH in the gut. Orton went to the platform and threw Sheamus into the chain wall over and over. Orton then did the same to Triple H, using the ring ropes to bounce him into the metal. Orton stomped Sheamus, then punched Triple H. Kofi Kingston, from the top rope, dove onto Orton, HHH and Sheamus on the platform. Orton rolled into the ring, and Kofi went for a springboard, but Orton hit him with a dropkick for a two count. Orton raked his boot laces across Kingston's face, then stomped him. Triple H got in and hit Orton with some punches. Triple H gave Orton a facebuster on a knee, but Orton came right back with a scoop powerslam. Everyone was down but Orton. Orton measured Triple H for an RKO. Triple H shoved it off, and we went into a sequence where Triple H, Orton and Kofi were going for their finishers. None were successful, and Orton threw HHH and Kofi over the top rope onto the platform. Orton went for Sheamus, who threw Orton into the corner as the next countdown took place.
Ted DiBiase entered the match.
DiBiase tossed Kofi over the top rope onto the platform. DiBiase gave HHH some fistdrops, then approached Orton, who was sitting in a corner. DiBiase offered Orton his hand and helped him up. DiBiase and Orton double teamed HHH in a corner, stomping him down. Then they moved to Sheamus and beat him down. Orton tossed Sheamus shoulder first into the ringpost. Orton and DiBiase took Kofi Kingston and put his head through the spaces in the chain wall, and twisted his neck against the chains. DiBiase put Kofi in a Boston Crab, choking him on the chains, while Orton stomped him. Triple H fired some punches at Orton, but DiBiase soon cut him off and they double teamed him again. DiBiase and Orton took HHH to a platform and threw him back first into the chain wall twice. Orton set up for the elevated DDT on HHH, but DiBiase stopped him and told him to do it on the steel platform instead. Orton planted Triple H with the elevated DDT on the platform. Orton and DiBiase stood by the door to John Cena's pod as the countdown started.
John Cena entered the match.
Cena exploded out of the pod with punches, knocking DiBiase down on the platform. Cena took Orton into the ring and hit a shoulderblock, back suplex and a Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena gave DiBiase a Throwback and a top rope Rocker Dropper. Cena picked up DiBiase for an Attitude Adjustment, swung his legs into Orton, then threw DiBiase over the top rope and onto the platform with the move. Orton grabbed Cena and sent him over the opposite set of ropes. Orton then went to throw Cena into the cage, but Cena reversed it and threw Orton in. Cena got in the ring and put DiBiase in an STF, but Orton broke it up and gave Cena a side backbreaker. Orton measured Cena for an RKO. Cody Rhodes threw a steel pipe in the ring, but Orton waved him off. DiBiase picked up the pipe. Orton went for the RKO on Cena, but Cena blocked it and went for an Attitude Adjustment. DiBiase charged with the pipe and hit Orton in the head with it then hit Cena in the gut with it. The announcers wondered if DiBiase had hit Orton by accident or not. DiBiase looked at both men, then covered Orton and pinned him.
Randy Orton is eliminated.
Cody Rhodes left, annoyed at what he had done. DiBiase stared at Orton as Orton was forced to leave, and he smiled a bit. Kofi Kingston reentered the ring, fighting with Sheamus. Kofi then nailed DiBiase with the Trouble In Paradise kick for the pin.
Ted DiBiase is eliminated.
Sheamus hit Kofi Kingston with a pump kick and a crucifix bomb for the pin.
Kofi Kingston is eliminated.
Sheamus went to work on John Cena with kicks and punches. Cena grabbed Sheamus for an Attitude Adjustment, but Sheamus battled out and hit a backbreaker, then a powerslam. Sheamus then hung Cena to the Tree Of Woe and drove some knees into his body. Sheamus went for a crucifix bomb on Cena, but Triple H got in and hit Sheamus with a low blow. Triple H then hit Sheamus with a Pedigree for the pin.
Sheamus is eliminated.
John Cena and Triple H were both slow to get to their feet, and before Triple H could get up, Cena jumped onto him and applied an STF. Triple H crawled for the ropes, but couldn't make it, and Triple H tapped slowly over and over at the 31 minute mark.
Triple H is eliminated.
Winner and new WWE Champion: John Cena.
Vince McMahon's music hit. McMahon walked out and said John Cena would be going to Wrestlemania, as soon as he defends his title against... this man. Batista's music hit.
WWE Champion John Cena vs. Batista.
Cena could barely get to his feet as Batista got in the ring. Batista smiled, and Cena threw a punch to his head. Batista stepped back, then charged Cena and hit a spear. He delivered a Batista Bomb for the pin in under a minute.
