Would you try for another VBAC if...
I'll spare the details, but I'll be having my third baby around the end of May.
My first was a c-section at 39w4d because I had pre-eclampsia, failed induction (15 hours I got to 1cm), and was simply miserable from all the medicine and finally caved. She was perfectly healthy (they did blow a little oxygen in her face, but her APGARS were 8 and 9). I was a horrid mess of PPD and PTSD for nearly two years when I got pregnant again...
I did my own prenatal care since no one in my area accepted VBACs. My original plan was an unassisted birth, but my intuition kicked in at the last minute and we transfered to the hospital. 5 hours later my son was born by VBAC, but it was hardly a victory. I was 42w4d and he was 11lb 9.2oz (as you can see in my siggy :thumbsup:) He was born with severely hypoxic (lack of oxygen) and his shoulder got caught causing a Brachial-Plexus Injury, leading to his arm not working right. He is now 2 and it's hardly noticable, but we still work on it whenever we can to make it perfect. His APGARS were 1 and 2, the 1 being only his faint heartbeat, the nurse kept asking if she should call Code Pink, which I later found out was stillbirth :cry: He spent 17 days in the NICU because he also inhaled meconium and simply had so much trouble breathing. He finally got to nurse at 14 days because there wasn't a tube down his throat (I was pumping every two hours 6x a day and he was getting it through a feeding tube, which I am SO thankful for).
I'm so afraid to give birth again. I can't deal with PPD again because of a c-section, but I also don't want to have the horrific birth like my son had to go through. Should I try for a VBAC (I'll GLADLY take an induction simply for being overdue) or should I just go for the c-section and hope I make it through the recovery?
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
((big hugs)). My first son was a traumatic birth. Homebirth, shoulder dystocia, oxygen deprivation, resusitation, and brachial plexus injury as well. (a video I just posted on here of when my son turned 2 of his journey... http://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site..._id=1901&large ). He is 5 now and we are still learning with Lefty and working super hard in therapies... he never regained some movements and is limited in others. He is an awesome boy though!
ANyway, inductions are being shown to increase your risk of shoulder dystocia. And mama, you are around 7x more likely to experience another shoulder dystocia because of your previous one. With those odds, I can say I would (and did) a c-section.
I've had 3 babies since my oldest and they've all been c-sections. All my boys got bigger with each one, though I gained the least and was in much better health with them (9.8, 10.3, and then 12.2). With that and all of my first son's issues (Lefty and the developmental help he needed later on), I am thankful for my c-sections. It's sooo different having a healthy baby! I remember being sad about that first c-section, but also amazed that my baby was moving his arm and breathing and I didn't have to worry about him, or take him to therapies, or deal with surgeries! It changed my attitude about c-sections quite a bit.
I wonder if you were more prepared for a c-section, if you would experience no or less PPD. Especially after the trauma from #2. There are things I learned after my first c-section that made my other ones better for healing during that post-partum time (ie: walking tons, freezer meals, having help, staying on pain meds, etc).
((big hugs)). I know it is not an easy decision. And I know what an emotional rollercoaster the pregnancy after a previous traumatic birth can be.
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
I also just wanted to add that I think you'd be hardpressed to find a doctor willing to let you have a TOL let alone a VBAC after your second birth. I looked in 3 counties to find a doc willing to let me have a TOL with my 2nd son. Found him (and he was rare!), but it didn't end up mattering as #2 was a c/s.
And you would definitely NOT be a candidate to try for a homebirth again. You are too high risk now. Sorry mama!
And also wanted to add I'm thankful you followed your gut. And that you didn't hemmorrhage (a risk with shoulder dystocias). I wonder if that would make a doctor worry more if you did find one that would let you have a TOL (because of A. a previous c/s B. a s/d that increases risk of hemorrhage).
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
I would explore checking in with a therapist that specializes in PTSD and PPD and cognative behavioral therapies. I had a lot of issues coming to terms with my birth (and it wasn't as tramatic as what you've experienced). At best, it may help heal the trauma of your prior experiences and it may help you make the right decision for you on this next birth.
I did something with my therapist called EMDR which is a method of dealing with PTSD. It involves describing the traumatic experience while listening to a sound that bounces back and forth (bilateral stimulation). It sounds goofy and weird but it's been an accepted therapy for PTSD for the past 20 years. It helps your brain learn to process traumatic experiences.
It made a trememdous difference for me in one session. I am now pregnant with second kiddo and I have worries about how this birth will be. But I don't feel like I am dwelling on what happened in the past. I think if I hadn't resolved my trauma from the first birth, I would be in a far different place.
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
AniMommy- That is interesting! I wonder how they differentiate PTSD and PPD from the grieving process??? I feel like you go through the stages of grief when you have a birth (or child) like this. When it's traumatic or not "typical" and what one expected. I know even now I'll experience a different room in the grieving house every now and then with what happened...
So glad it's helped in your second pregnancy! Good for you for not burying all those emotions deep down and instead, dealing with them when you did.
I also think, LilyIvy, that you should be voicing all your concerns to someone who will listen to you... whether it's your therapist, a loved one, etc. Especially when you have those panicky moments creep up on you and you let your thoughts wonder to "what ifs or what if next times". It will help that anxiety even if it doesn't fully take it away. Turn to your beliefs if you have them. After I started having those anxiety attacks with 2's pregnancy, I also started digging deep into The Word and memorizing scriptures about fear and peace. That really helped!
I cannot say what you should do, but with those experiences I would opt for a csection. I was much less depressed with my 2c/s, though it was after a failed induction/VBAC attempt. I worked through a lot of my feelings before and switched to a dr I trusted more. Actually, I wasn't depressed at all the 2nd time. I could objectively see where things *might* have gone better with different choices, but I didn't beat myself up.
With our 3rd on the way, I'll likely end up opting for a RCS for hubby's comfort. My doc has offered me a more baby-centered "natural" csection since he knows I've always wanted a natural birth. He will lower the drape as they pull T out, then immediately put him on my chest for skin-to-skin & breast feeding in the OR.
I've never had to deal with complications for me and the baby after. I've never had my baby had to go to the NICU. I definitely see how all of that makes your decision even harder ((HUGS)).
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
I am getting ready for my 2nd c-section (36 weeks!), this one will be scheduled. Like you, I had a failed induction with my first (got stuck at 3cm and was like that for 16 hours). I struggled with trying for a VBAC but I have had a lot of complications with this pregnancy (GD, high blood pressure, bed rest, high amniotic fluid) and I just don't want to risk anything.
I think you will find a scheduled c-section to provide much more stability, greater peace, and will lead you feeling in control of the situation. At least that is what I am hoping.
I also agree with seeking therapy for PTSD. Someone mentioned EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy. I use these both with great success in my practice, especially with Veterans. Regardless of what you choose, I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly for you and that you are able to find peace with whatever decision you choose!
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
The main reason right now I don't want a c-section is because of the recovery. I'm planning on giving him/her up for adoption so I really don't want a full month to recover for something I have no benefit of...
I am in an area where it's going to be harder to find a VBAC ban hospital than a doctor that pushes fr VBACs. So I'm sure my main problem is going to be less VBAC friendly and more... high risk friendly? Either way, I just really don't want to give birth... I'm honestly over my daughters birth, but I really don't want to be ripped open again...
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
Thoughts and prayers with you.
Re: Would you try for another VBAC if...
What I experienced was something different from grief. I had a history of depression before birth. It was kind of what you imagine depression being: saddness, hopelessness and anxiety.
The PPD was VERY different from the previous episodes of depression. For me I think I had both PTSD and PPD and that they overlapped and were intertwined. The PPD part was the disconnect, anger, irritability, and hormonality that I felt within hours of birth and didn't find release from for months. The RIGHT medication and the RIGHT dr & counselor got that under control.
The PTSD was focused on the birth and the events surrounding birth. It lingered after the PPD was under control. For a year after the birth at every quiet moment my mind would return to the birth and playing it over and over and FEELING the rawness of the events as if it had just happened. It was like a sore tooth that you can't stop touching with your tongue. I wrote in my journal on July 4th the year after my kiddo was born (her b-day is late july) how I remembered watching the fireworks when I was 9 months pregnant and how before her birth everything was possible. What I didn't write down was how shattered I was that I was still not healed from what had happened and had yet to bond with my child.
My therapist explained with PTSD that your mind gets stuck in this repeating loop and can't process the trauma (put it away). The EMDR triggers some response in the brain to properly process the experience and stop the "repeating loop." Now after the EMDR (which was one of the worst draining days of therapy EVER) I think of my birth experience similar to how you look at a bad breakup years later. You remember the bad feelings and about how the guy was a toad but you don't feel the pain of the breakup.
To the orginial poster - I hope that you can find peace.

On Minimation, we comb through the archives of legendary New York radio station WNEW-FM and animate interviews with legendary rock artists. This installment is taken from a 1988 interview with the Bee Gees, where they discusses the effect that 'Saturday Night Fever' had on their career. This one is a bit bittersweet, in retrospect: Maurice and Robin Gibb do most of the talking (Barry was present, but had a cold). And of course, Maurice and Robin are, sadly, no longer with us. This Minimation was created for Radio.com by Max Werkmeister.
What do you think of when you think of the Bee Gees? The Beatles-eque young lads of "New York Mining Disaster 1941" fame? How about the guys who did the definitive version of "To Love Somebody," later to be covered by Rod Stewart, Janis Joplin and Gram Parsons?
Let's be real: you think of the white suits, feathered hair, and disco jams. Today, "Stayin' Alive," one of their monster smashes from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is a much celebrated classic that even Bruce Springsteen has covered. But the post-disco era was very much an anti-disco era, and the brothers Gibb were smarting from the backlash.
"We are songwriters, mostly," Maurice said. "We are performers secondly."
"And," he added, "We don't deal in trends and images."
Robin noted, "We didn't even write them for the movie." The band were recording their next album in France, and Robert Stigwood, their record label head and manager asked to use three of the songs for a film he was producing. "We were R&B," he said, as opposed to a disco act like Donna Summer or Chic.
Not mentioned in this excerpt was their more ill-fated decision to co-star with Peter Frampton in a disastrous film version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. By 1988 when this interview was conducted, the stink was still on them, a decade down the road.
But, years later, all was forgiven. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. And "Stayin' Alive" was one of the songs they performed at the ceremony.

I was putting recycling into my boss' car when a man came out of Fiesta Restaurant (at Dupont Circle) and said "Nice car." Since I knew exactly what was about to transpire, I ignored him. He repeated himself and I brusquely responded "It's not my car." He walked right up behind me, disgustingly checked me out and asked me where I worked. I glared at him and gave him a vague response. I was having trouble closing the car door (again, not my car) and the whole time the guy just stood there looking at me. I finally got the door closed and started to walk away when he yelled out "I love you!" and started to follow me. Without even looking at him I sternly shouted "Don't follow me!" and attracted the attention of passerbys. He mumbled something about how he wasn't following me, he was trying to sit on the steps (conveniently directly beside me) and as I walked into my work building he shouted "I love you!" again. So I loudly told him to shut up.
Why didn't I walk into Fiesta and demand to know if he was an employee or patron? Why didn't I take his photo? I don't know. Next time. I'm just glad I was able to stand up for myself, for once.

CBS Sports Top 25 BBall-UM #3
Might give us an idea of what the AP/Coaches polls will look like.
After the way we played in the first half, I would have a tough time putting us at 1 or 2. Not saying that we don't get there this season, but this is a very young, talented team that just faced its first really setback. How we respond and how we play in other tough big ten games is something that I think many are waiting to see.
I don't think you can judge a team by a half of a game. We almost dug ourselves out of a giant hole. Everyone in the NCAA has obviously had a bad half, or we'd still have an undefeated team.
I am not saying that they should be judged by a bad half (it wasn't evena full half - they turned the curner with about 7-8 minutes left in the first). But, that half exposed a few weaknesses and, given the number of other good teams out there, how we deal with those weaknesses and how we respond after this loss will go a long way towards determining our ranking (obviously).
This is college basketball - everybody has some weaknesses. It isn't like the early 90s, when top players would stick around for 3-4 years and places like Duke or UCLA could build a complete, experienced team.
We sucked for a half, but personally I'm pretty encouraged by how close the game ended up. If Trey Burke's 3 in the final minute gets an inch further down, Michigan has the lead in the final minute against a team that couldn't do much offensively.
The fact that we could come back from 20 down, on the road, against a rival, speaks volumes to Beilein's coaching and our players' resiliency. We aren't going to start off that cold very often, so I have high hopes for the future.
We didn't even suck for a whole half. We actually finished the first half on a 14-5 run.
It's not like they get a break. Minnesota on the road is going to be a tough test for them.
Should I be mad that Duke is ranked higher?
Despite their loss, Duke still has an impressive resume.
I agree. Which is why I asked.
It seems like they have a better resume at this point, but we did beat the team that beat them. I think that it's probably a valid argument either way.
Yes, but they beat the team that beat us! :-)
Oh... shit. You just blew my mind.
transitive property paradox!!!!
was also short handed. I don't have any problem with them staying at 1 even though I think there are a hand full of teams that are better than Duke.
My biggest problem is with Illinois. How the _ _ _ _ are they still 18 in this poll. They just got punked, twice, in debacle fashion. Seems as though they should be a little lower than that.
No. Duke has played a tougher schedule so far than we have. Sure, we beat NC State, who beat Duke, but Duke beat OSU, who beat us. That's a wash. Outside of those two opponents, Duke has beaten better teams, namely Louisville, Minnesota and Kentucky. Maybe UK doesn't really count, but VCU and Temple probably do.
If we win at Minnesota coming up, that gap will be narrower, however.
Then can I at least be mad that Louisville is ranked number 2? They beat Illinois State by 3, Northern Iowa by 5, lost to Duke, and have played a comparable, if not weaker, schedule than Michigan. Can I at least be mad about that?
Yeah, I suppose you could, but then you'd have Arizona and Kansas fans making that argument against us, since both of those are 1-loss teams with a more difficult schedule than us up to this point. Basically there are half a dozen 1-loss teams that are pretty close to interchangeable at this point, and the season will work to shake that out.
Arizona is really a 2 loss team and should be treated as such come March. Arizona's big wins are SD St. and an overrated Florida team, that K-State beat. K-State and NC St. are continuing to look like better and better wins. Louisville only has one win against a team that would get an at large birth right now is Missouri.
...but this is at least a small sign that yesterday's loss doesn't look too bad in the eyes of neutral observers.
I can live with being #3 right now
Not worried about rankings. We have another extremely difficult game on the road this week. We could potentially lose 2 conference games in a row and be .500 4 games in. Let's get this W at the barn.
should be #1, Plumlee is a monster, with that one kid back in the line up ( I think Kelly is his name) they are deep and good.
Michigan is a top 5 team right now, very interested to see how they respond this week, it will tell us a lot.
IU has responded monstrously since their loss to Butler. They've looked unbeatable. Hoping that we can respond similarly and use this as a wake up call.
Indiana was up by a ton against Minnesota and escaped by the skin of their teeth (not unlike our game with osu). They also very nearly lost to Iowa on the road. IU and Michigan are still the class of the conference for now, but both teams have flaws. I do think IU is a little stronger than Michigan if they can put it all together due to the relative strength of their frontcourt.
Rankings don't really matter at this point but it would have been cool to see Michigan hold onto the #1 spot for at least a week. Having everyone lose around them and then immediately losing to Ohio was a huge bummer. An even bigger bummer: Knowing that every Ohio fan is believing that Ohio has Michigan's number in both football and basketball. Anyone know what Michigan's record against Ohio in those two sports over the past 10 years is? I'm sure its not good.
/end emo whine post
31--9 since 2000. I live in Ohio. Have heard that stay two straight days.
F- you for putting that in print. Kidding. But not really.
Seriously, at what point does Michigan stop being competitive with Ohio?
/continued emo whine post over for real
Should be 31-11 by the end of the year assuming they see us in the big ten tourney. Go Blue!
i think the team's ability to storm back from a 20+ point deficit on the road against a quality opponent in a hostile environment is why we've only dropped one spot. this team showed a ton of resolve yesterday and absolutely did not quit when it would have been so easy to. an osu fan came up to me after i went to the game yesterday and said we shouldn't be embarressed for losing. if anything, they should have been embarressed for their team almost blowing a 20 point lead at home.
Hey, OSU hired Thad Matta while we hired Brian Ellerbee - that right there was good for at least 16 OSU wins due to the after-effects of his cratering our hoops program.
We have plenty of opportunities to gain that elusive top spot. I'm happy with #3. I just hate losing the initial opportunity to that damn OSU. Did I mention that I hate losing to them?
For some comparison to this, and to avoid taking up board space, the Coaches' Poll appears to be updated now -
We are #5. I haven't seen a link to the updated AP poll yet, but Pollspeak had the vote distribution for the ballots up at least:
We received one 1st place vote ( Cormac Gordon), four 2nd place votes, nine 3rd place votes, twenty-four 4th place votes, nineteen 5th place votes and even eight 6th places votes.

Pakistan not involved in Mumbai blasts: Diplomat
July 21, 2006 01:57 IST
A top Pakistani diplomat on Thursday ruled out Pakistan's involvement in the Mumbai serial blasts and said without proper investigation Islamabad should not be blamed.
"Pakistan was the first country to express its condolence and Indian authorities should not accuse Pakistan without proper investigation," Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan to India Afrasiab said in New Delhi on the sidelines of a function.
Referring to the postponment of foreign secretary level-talks he said, "At this juncture it is important to continue peace talks between the two countries."

"If we could fly would there be numbers
apart from the seasons
in sleep I was flying south
so it was autumn
numberless autumn with its leaves
already far below me
some where falling into
the river of day
the invisible surface
that remembers and whispers
but does not tell even in sleep
not this time"

Oracle License Management Best Practices
Every Oracle® customer shares a common challenge: how to avoid over- or under-licensing. In a recent survey, 53 percent of enterprises indicated that a portion of software license spend is associated with applications that are overused and therefore out of compliance.1 At the same time, a large percentage of organizations also overspend – owning Oracle licenses that are not used or not deployed for maximum benefit.
For example, an international energy company conducted an internal assessment of Oracle license usage and identified 25 percent more database CPU's than they thought had been deployed – which was a costly liability. In another case, a large global consumer packaged goods manufacturer saved over $30 million USD in licensing costs, including $7 million on Oracle software, by analyzing the actual installation and usage of databases and database options.
These companies reduced audit liability and achieved cost savings by proactively managing their Oracle licensing processes. They integrated asset management practices and deployed tracking software to deliver value throughout the software lifecycle management process – from negotiating favorable pricing to optimizing usage, saving on unnecessary expenditures and avoiding unforeseen costs from Oracle audits.
With Oracle audits on the rise, organizations that can best align license agreements with actual database and option usage can reduce their financial risk and maximize the value of their Oracle investments. The goal is to "right-size" Oracle across the enterprise and gain control over the entire license management process – from accurate needs projections and licensing negotiations, to deployments and audit preparation.
Oracle Licensing and Compliance Rules Create License Management Complexity
Any Oracle licensing strategy is a complex calculation based on current and projected usage. It's not enough to count database server CPUs, the number of users, or even installations. While these metrics are important, especially for processor-core based agreements, Oracle requires detailed accounts of what is being used – which includes editions, versions, and any options and management packs. The burden is on the organization to keep licenses aligned with actual usage.
Actual usage can often vary dramatically from the projections used when entering into an Oracle contract – particularly for growing companies. Oracle provides assistance in making usage calculations, including scripts for tracking software usage. However, the onus is on the company to maintain license compliance, and many organizations simply do not have the processes or infrastructure in place to meet the reporting requirements of Oracle contracts – so they are at high-risk of expensive over-utilization adjustments in the event of an Oracle license assessment or audit.
While usage tracking is central to managing audit risk, tracking can also address under-utilization – finding Oracle licenses that could be redeployed for maximum usage. This frequently happens when organizations buy and install large quantities of Oracle database Options, but never actually deploy these Options. The process to determine Option utilization is much more complex than simply confirming installations. The process requires detailed analysis of each individual database Option through SQL queries and applying the appropriate business rules.
Five Reasons Your Oracle Licensing Requirements May Evolve
Even in well-managed and predictable environments, Oracle software licensing can quickly become out of balance. Something as simple as changing the server configuration can increase license costs because Oracle licenses are, in many cases, based on the number of processor cores in the physical servers.
During the term of an Oracle licensing agreement, many factors can lead to over- or under-licensing:
- Emerging Technologies. The complex task of usage tracking has become increasingly complicated with virtualization, multiplexing, and cloud computing, which can expand access for a larger number of users – internal and external – and drive up installations and use of Oracle databases and options. Changes in the hardware environment can also throw organizations into non-compliance, such as adding additional servers and/or processors. For example, if a license has a minimum requirement of users per CPU (processor-core), and a hardware refresh adds to the number of CPUs, then minimum requirements may no longer be met.
- Business Requirements. Many business improvement processes impact usage of Oracle databases. For example, the expanded use of a front-end application that requires an Oracle database under the hood may increase license requirements. Also, where decisionmaking is being empowered at lower levels within an organization, the need to expand or build reporting capability can mean more processing power, and more processor-cores, driving up Oracle licensing requirements.
- Vendor Consolidation. Architectural simplification or consolidation of vendors, including relational database vendors, can change licensing requirements. Oracle may even offer "replacement" incentives to move Sybase, Informix, or SQL Server customers to their platform. These incentives can save money, both operationally and with Oracle, but they also change the license need.
- Technical Needs. As companies become more proactive in managing their Oracle estate, they may expand their use of Management Packs. For example, they may implement Tuning and Diagnostics Packs to pinpoint technical problems or improve efficiencies. These Packs are additions to the Oracle infrastructure, and the licensing requirement is not only for the machines where these Options are installed, but also on any database they are used to manage remotely – something a simple inventory scan cannot detect.
- Organizational Changes. Software and licensing needs can evolve in response to acquisitions, mergers and divestitures, reorganizations, and changing chargeback issues. Whether these organizational changes require system integration, consolidation, or expansion, they often lead to changes in the Oracle infrastructure.

LIKE most cities and towns in the country, the streets of Harare have over the years become home to hundreds of men, women and children.
While others have graduated from being street dwellers to "slum" dwellers, everyday there are always new entrants on the streets of Harare.
Whereas the well-heeled are building mansions, some among the poor are finding solace on the fast overcrowding streets of Harare.
With the biting economic challenges, there has been a steady increase in the number of people in such desperate situations.
For these, their options are limited; they either resort to begging or simply roam and sleep on the streets.
To make matters worse, there are very few, if any at all, social welfare services to help the destitute, orphans and people living with disabilities, whether on the street or not.
Previously, the primary coping strategy for communities was the extended family, but the capacity of these extended families to support the growing numbers of orphans has declined.
Beggars and street people who spoke to the Financial Gazette say they can make anything between a few coins to US$10 a day depending on the generosity of their benefactors who usually are motorists.
"In as much as we all want money, sometimes we get food from our benefactors," Kudzai, a boy begging at corner Rekayi Tangwena and Samora Machel, said.
"Our main reason for being here is not about making money, its survival; if we go back home there is nothing there. It is a hard living on the streets, but it is still a living, something we cannot do in Epworth," Kudzai's friend Prince said.
Every intersection in Harare's central business district (CBD) has been invaded by beggars and "the destitute". They all claim to be destitute and if they are children, they all say the same message: "We are orphans and I need money to pay my school fees and take care of my siblings."
Despite their different backgrounds and challenges, men, women and children have found a haven on the streets of Harare with children being used to attract sympathy from mainly motorists.
The street children are so daring that they run around between the lanes of fast moving vehicles to beg. The kids are completely oblivious of the danger they are exposing themselves too. They have become permanent features on the city's roads, with children with babies strapped on their backs, moving from one lane to the other.
Many children, especially girls, barely into their teens, prowl the city's traffic intersections while their parents sit in the shadows away from the public's questioning gaze as their kids beg for money for food or school fees.
"People tend to understand the plight of the girl child so we use our daughters more because they attract sympathy from motorists and get paid more. If I am to beg, people would ask a lot of questions and accuse me of being lazy," Cynthia Muzula (33) said.
"We are always moving from one intersection to the other because if my daughters become a permanent feature at corner Leopold Takawira and Samora Machel people would end up not sympathising with her," she added.
As the number of street people continue to increase, there is pressure on beggars to be innovative and look for new begging techniques and unconAgested spots in the city.
"There are a lot people who are begging for money in the city such that my friend and I; we sometimes visit the Simon Mazorodze and Remembrance Drive intersection. We get a few dollars, especially from those people driving cars with South African number plates," Kudzai said, further explaining that despite having a home in Epworth, they live on the streets, because they need to survive.
"Begging is a survival strategy for some of us. There is a lot of money on the streets of Harare, you should see what happens at night," Kudzai laughed as he refused to explain the nocturnal happenings.
Statistics show that 34 percent of the children are not full-time on the streets, but rather return home to sleep.
Zimbabwe's worsening economic conditions have contributed towards the growing number of street persons and as the situation worsens, as predicted by social commentator Tawanda Majoni, the numbers of people on the street will continue to increase.
"The road signs are actually pointing towards more problems for Zimbabweans. Government is struggling to pay civil servants, fund key projects and mobilise adequate resources and revenue. This is going to get worse in 2016, especially considering that there are no visible strategies on the part of our government to reverse the economic meltdown. On the one hand, there are no signs that the thousands of jobs that were lost in recent years will be replaced because there is no tangible investment. That means more poverty and suffering.
"On the other hand, the situation will be worsened by the acute drought that is already being felt due to the El Nino phenomenon. Households will be forced to spend the little money that they have on food, there will be less for other essential livelihood and socio-economic needs and more people will get into vending to survive. In other words, the dim Zimbabwe narrative will persist in 2016," Majoni said.

Eternal Return: An Eternal Cycle of Love
A short story by Stephanie Young(jessismith/ConspiringDarkness)
Once upon a time, in a once powerful reach called Gran Soren, there lived a beautiful princess who was known by her people to be of a fair and sincere nature. Her name was Mirianne Amendus(or more commonly known by the title, Mirianne The Graceful.) Her father was a maniacal tyrant known as Duke Galdor Wyrm Slayer by all of the Gransys region. No one knew why the girl was so different from her father. Her mother had died not long after she was born, and her father had been stricken mad with grief ever since.
Luckily, she had been taken into the care of a generous and charismatic noble family, where she had little contact with her father. And she was happy with this, since she had no desire to have any sort of contact with him.
But nevertheless, because of her bloodline, she was sought out by the men of the reach; not to mention, for her ravishing beauty and charming demeanor.
One man in particular; a peasant by the name of Marcus, had a rare opportunity to save the princess' life, when a band of thieves overtook the castle, killing the Duke and wiping out many of his best guards. They made for the princess' quarters, when Marcus(disguised as one of them) single-handedly took them out, one by one.
This man was honored for his bravery and heroism, and in turn, won over the heart of the fair princess.
But an unseen event unfolded shortly thereafter.
On a peaceful summer morning, Marcus was wandering the garden with his beloved, when the sun was blocked out by an ominous sight. These were cruel, baleful wings...dark as the the night itself, beating against the ground like the fiercest of winds.
Honed talons struck the ground atop of Mirianne, and she was killed instantly.
In total disbelief over what had just happened, Marcus did not have time to grieve, but took out all of the anger and rage contained within on the wyrm that stood before him.
Lashing at the beast's foreleg, he sliced into it's fibrous, sinewy flesh. The dragon laughed at him, and leaned down to say something which Marcus could not understand. Before Marcus had time to reach out toward the dragon, it had already sunk it's knife-like talon into the center of his chest.
Marcus watched as his still-beating heart was drawn further and further away from him. He weakly reached out, but to no avail. At the same time, his men were making their way towards the foul beast. The wyrm turned toward them for a brief second, and then quickly shot it's head upward. It had what it had come for, and there was no reason to stay. It wasn't long before Marcus knew what he truly was...an Arisen. He possessed the power to create a single follower of his choosing, and in honor of the one he had loved, he crafted a pawn in her perfect form. This pawn served him faithfully, until the very end.
Together, they brought down the dragon, and together they made it through the brutal forces of the Everfall. And then they fought their way through the chamber of the Seneschal, whom was slain by Marcus' very hand, wielding the Godsbane blade, and in turn, he was crowned as the new Seneschal, and keeper of the world.
But this was too much for him. There was no life without being able to enjoy it with the one he loved, and so he sunk the Godsbane blade deep into hischest, as his pawn stood there beside him in utter disbelief.
"Master!" she cried out in agony. "Please, Master. Please...don't die. I-I remember."
Her dying master gazed deep into her eyes as she began to gain human emotions.
"Please, Master. I remember, the night that you saved me. I remember the look in your eye. Your will and determination, were unlike any I had ever known. And then, I remember the joy that I felt, on our wedding day. I remember how every day with you was always better than the day before.
..I remember."
Tears welled up in Marcus' eyes, as he looked upon Mirianne's desperate, sorrowful gaze. In his final breath he muttered the words, "Mirianne. I-I had no idea." And with that, he passed on into the next world.
Many decades later, a young woman in the small fishing village of Cassardis, awoke to the sounds of chaos and frantic screams throughout. Racing into action, she leapt quickly out of her bed, and hastily grabbed onto her precious longsword. She saw the great dragon before her, and lunged at it with all of her might.
The dragon stopped in its tracks. It knew her face. It was a face that he had seen in many years past; that of a beautiful young princess that he had so readily ended the life of. As an act of mercy, the dragon transformed her into that which she had longed to be, an Arisen.
When it came time for her to make her pawn, she recalled a man from her dreams. His face had haunted her for so long, and now he stood beside her, ready to fight with her to the very end.
Unfortunately, after defeating the dragon and regaining her heart, she was forced to end the life of the Seneschal. As the new keeper of the world, she was at a loss. None of her family was there to comfort her. No one could see her. She was merely an observer...invisible to the world. She was the picture of true loneliness.
Her pawn, Otis, tried to convince her that he would always be there with her, but she was too heartbroken to see the truth. Pawns had no emotions. Even if he were to try and love her, it would only be an act. A pawn can never truly love their master.
She drove the Godsbane into her heart, and her pawn cried out in sheer agony.
"Master! Master! No!"
AS soon as the blade had pierced her chest, memories flooded into her head, and both she and Otis remembered for the first time in this life, of another life before. Otis held her tightly, as she whispered, "Marcus...it's okay. Remember me. And hold on...til the next life." And she died quietly in his arms, as they both fell into the sea.
Otis woke up on the beach, feeling around for his love. "Mirianne!" he cried out. But she was no longer there, and he had become the very one he had loved.
It was no more than a century later that a young man had become an arisen. He crafted a pawn in the very essence of true beauty itself.
They made it to the bitter end together once more. At that moment when the man sunk the Godsbane into the Seneschal's chest, he felt a tingle of memories being etched into his very soul. The seneschal gazed up at him.
"Mourn me not, but pray, take my gift, and use it wisely."
What gift was the Seneschal talking about? The Arisen turned back to look at his pawn, and she stared back for the longest time, as tears began to well in her eyes. "Marcus...i-it is you."
Marcus looked up at his pawn, whom he had known by another name for the longest time.
They shared in love's deepest, most intimate kiss, all while tears streamed down their faces. Mirianne picked up the Godsbane, which had taken the form of her old longsword.
"You know, there is a way for us to be together."
Marcus nodded. He took the Godsbane from her hands, and made a swift back and forth strike that cut through her before cutting into his own flesh. They both fell to the floor, as it opened up into a bright light.
In an instant, they found themselves in each others' arms, lying on a beach, with a soft breeze caressing their faces, while the calming sound of gentle ocean waves whispered all around them.
They had naught but to simply gaze at each other in utter disbelief. Was this Heaven? Or perhaps they had simply been given a second chance.
In the distance, a dragon's shrill cry could be heard, followed by deafening screams, but Marcus and Mirianne were not even listening.
"It is no longer your fight, my love."
Mirianne ran her hand through Marcus' golden hair. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up close to him.
"No. Never again." He placed his lips firmly against hers, and the whole world seemed to fit back into place. Their lives were finally made whole again, and for once, they were free to live life as they saw fit. They were married in Gran Soren the very next day, and shortly thereafter, they started a family with many children and grandchildren to follow. And while after death, they no longer remembered their previous lives together, they were always able to find each other again in the next cycle...always in a different form, but each cycle was better than the last.
And on the day that the world finally crumbled, they remembered it all, and they watched on as a new world was created before them.
Finally death was made nonexistent, and they would finally rest in each others' arms for the whole of an eternity.

Note - If your network allows the use of DHCP, this configuration is performed automatically the first time you boot the system.
Use this procedure only when:
You are unable to use DHCP on your network.
You need to modify the ILOM service processor network management port settings.
In this procedure, you connect to the ILOM service processor using the serial management port to manually reconfigure the network management port.
Note - For more information on configuring ILOM, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 Supplement for the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server
Configure these parameters with the set command. The usage is as follows: set target property=value where /SP/network is the target and pendingipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, is the property=value.
Your choices are:
dhcp - Set up the network connection with a dynamically created IP configuration.
static - Set up the network connection with a static IP configuration.
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=dhcp Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'dhcp'
-> set /SP/network pendingipdiscovery=static Set 'pendingipdiscovery' to 'static'
-> set /SP/network pendingipaddress=service-processor-IPaddr Set 'pendingipaddress' to 'service-processor-IPaddr'
-> set /SP/network pendingipgateway=gateway-IPaddr Set 'pendingipgateway' to 'gateway-IPaddr'
-> set /SP/network pendingipnetmask=255.255.255.0 Set 'pendingipnetmask' to '255.255.255.0'
This example uses 255.255.255.0 to set the netmask. Your network environment subnet might require a different netmask. Use a netmask number most appropriate to your environment.
The following example shows parameters that have been set to convert a service processor from a dhcp configuration to a static configuration
-> show /SP/network /SP/network Targets: Properties: commitpending = (Cannot show property) dhcp_server_ip = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ipdiscovery = dhcp ipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ipnetmask = 255.255.252.0 macaddress = 00:14:4F:3F:8C:AF pendingipaddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pendingipdiscovery = static pendingipgateway = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pendingipnetmask = 255.255.255.0 state = enabled Commands: cd set show ->
Note - After setting the configuration parameters, you must enter the set /SP/network commitpending=true command for the new values to take affect.
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true Set 'commitpending' to 'true'
Note - You can run the show /SP/network command again (after performing the set /SP/network commitpending=true command) to verify that the parameters have been updated.

Who Will Get The Lion's Share Of The Carries?July 31, 2010
This off-season featured the Raiders releasing fan favorite and former 1000 yard rusher Justin Fargas. Fargas earned the job with hard nosed running despite a lack of size and breakaway speed. In the past three years Fargas has accumulated over 2300 yards on the ground despite the Raiders running back by committee approach.
Where will the nearly 800 additional rushing yards come from this season?
The logical answer is that Michael Bush and Darren McFadden will split those yards right down the middle. McFadden was the apple of Al Davis' eye three years ago he certainly hoped to see the second coming of Adrian Peterson.
Despite his rumored character flaws, the Raiders gambled on the versatile McFadden to be their newest home run hitter. His character has been the least of their concerns. To his credit, by NFL standards McFadden has been a saint.
The only real comparison to Adrian Peterson has been in terms of ball control. Darren McFadden had three costly fumbles in a 23-3 loss to Denver in their first meeting. He fumbled five times last season on only 104 carries. His yards per carry dropped to 3.4 and he failed to display the ability to keep his feet after a hit. To make matters worse, McFadden has yet to show the top end speed and shiftiness to outrun and avoid the second tier of defenses.
Common sense should tell us Darren McFadden will not be the featured back in Oakland.
But does Al Davis base his decisions on common sense? He's always been a sucker for physical freaks. In this case, I don't think Al calls the shot. Darren won't be the featured back.
This assumption comes not only from McFadden's shortcomings, but from his strengths as well. McFadden is an outstanding receiver and has shown the ability to be the versatile athlete that is such a trend in the NFL the past two years.
He can throw and run out of the "razorback" formation and can become a dangerous 3third down change of pace to Michael Bush. He can move around pre-snap and be flanked out wide to force coverage with a linebacker. His size makes makes him a solid target for Jason Campbell.
My guess is we'll see McFadden used as a decoy more often than not. Whether he's earned it or not, he will be a marked man by defenses and will likely be used to keep defenses off balance.
In fact, training camp has only solidified this theory. He has more training camp grabs than most of the receivers to this point.
The real thunder in this years rushing attack should be Michael Bush. In two seasons in Oakland, Bush has never averaged less than 4.4 yards per carry and torched opponents for a 4.8 YPC last season.
While, McFadden's longest rush last season was 28 yards and 48 the year before, Bush has taken a handoff 60 or more yards each of the past two years. In over 250 career touches, he has only 3 fumbles. He's a bruiser and will soften defenses to make McFadden that much quicker when he touches the ball.
They both have a history of injuries--Michael Bush has played in 31 of 32 games since his rookie season and McFadden has seen action in only 25 of those games.
For fantasy owners its a tough pill to swallow, but for whatever reason neither of these two have been particularly lethal around the goal line. At times, McFadden has shown the ability to hit the hole a little quicker and get his nose into the endzone better than Bush. Tom Cable is still searching for his short yardage guy, but you can bet Michael Bush will have every opportunity to earn it.
For Raiders fans there is every reason to expect the offense to fun more smoothly this season. With no number two at the helm, there should be more respect given to the passing attack and open up more room for both running backs.
Assuming there are no injuries, look for a 1000 yard season out of Michael Bush with around 30 receptions while McFadden stays around 500 rushing yards and maybe 50 receptions. Look for McFadden to have more yards in the air than on the ground. After all, he averaged 11.7 yards per reception last season.
If you're playing fantasy football my money is on Michael Bush. If you just like watching Raider football they should neither one disappoint.

Shen, Johnstown win titles
Published 10:40 pm, Saturday, November 2, 2013
The Shenendehowa girls' volleyball team topped Saratoga, 3-1, to win the Class AA crown on Saturday in Stillwater.

Hayley Macken led Shenendehowa, which climbed to 18-3 overall, with seven service points, 46 assists, two kills, two blocks and five digs.
Saratoga closes the season at 13-5.
No. 1 seeded Johnstown came away with the Class B title after a 3-2 victory over third-seeded Gloversville.
Johnstown clinched its third straight Class B crown with the victory.

Rush Limbaugh has made a career of such actions as calling women's rights advocates "femi-Nazis" and ridiculing as a "slut" and "prostitute" a Georgetown University law student who tried to testify at a House hearing that contraception should be included in women's health plans.
As of Friday, however, Limbaugh has discovered rape. The radio mouth of the American right likened a reform in U.S. Senate filibuster rules, adopted Thursday, to forcible sexual assault.
The Senate, with its Democratic majority largely intact, voted on Thursday to reform filibuster rules on the confirmation of federal court nominees (but not the U.S. Supreme Court) and senior presidential appointees.
The reform was adopted after Republicans blocked three of President Obama's nominees to the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia, second in importance to the Supreme Court.
"Let's forget the Senate for a moment," Limbaugh began on Friday. "Imagine a group of 10 people, six men and four women. This group has a rule that the men cannot rape women. The group also has a rule that says any rule that will be changed must require six votes of the 10, to change the rule.
"Every now and then, some lunatic in the group proposes to change the rule to allow women to be raped. But they were never able to get the six votes for it. There were always the four women voting against it, and they always found two guys.
"Well, the guy that kept proposing that women be raped finally got tired of it, and he was in the majority and he was the one who said, 'You know what? We're going to change the rule. Now all we need is five (votes).
"And well, 'You can't do that.' 'Yes we are, we're the majority. We're changing the rule. ' And then they vote. Can the women be raped? Well, all it would take then is half the room. You can change the rules to say three. You can change the rule and say three people want it and it's going to happen."
"When the majority can change the rules, there aren't any."
Such reasoning out of Limbaugh was not heard back in 2005 when a Republican majority in the Senate threatened exactly the same change in the rules.
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, delivered a spot-on tweet response:
"Limbaugh, once again, proving he's a disgrace."

Sherri Shepherd on Dancing With the Stars Elimination: Shocked!by Free Britney at . Comments
Sherri Shepherd, who was sent home on the Dancing With the Stars results show Tuesday in the most surprising elimination of the season, did not see it coming.
"She was crying pretty hard post show and everyone was hugging her," a studio source said, adding that Shepherd skipped the usual post-elimination interview.
"It's highly unusual for [the eliminated celebrity] to skip press, especially someone who seemed to have a good attitude like Sherri had on DWTS."
Sherri did go on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to talk about it, calling the experience an "amazing adventure" and encouraging fans to challenge themselves.
"It was a very big surprise [to be eliminated]," Shepherd, in better spirits, told Kimmel. "Carrie Ann [Inaba] said she's never seen me so expressionless."
"I'm an actress, so that's almost like telling Gladys Knight she can't sing. As an actress, Carrie Ann's going to get me blacklisted," she joked.
"If you don't go towards the thing you fear, you won't be able to say you lived. I got voted off, I wanted the ride to continue, but I got to say, I did it."
"It pushes you mentally and physically and it is a life-changing experience, I have to say," Sheppard said. "So I have to say thank you, I am so grateful."
Good attitude. Sadly, someone has to go home each week, even if they've improved and showed promise. Did it deserve to be Sherri? Tell us below ...

April 2014 - Royal Princess to Caribbean - Eastern
The Inroom entertainment on this ship was the best I have ever seen. Lots of movies and tv shows that are all complimentary. The balcony stateroom was also very nice, new, and clean. The layout was very well thought-out. Theater Entertainment for us was a little below average. The ship is very beautiful and we very much enjoyed looking around. The food was just ok in comparision to other cruises that I have been on, but definently not bad. All in all it was a great cruise and we would recommend it to anyone.

If you are working in an InstallScript MSI project, you will sometimes need to call a Windows Installer function. To do this, you will need a handle to the currently-running MSI database.
In a Basic MSI project, you have access to this handle from any InstallScript custom action. This is because hMSI is always one of the parameters passed to InstallScript functions in custom actions.
In InstallScript MSI projects, you have to use something different. Have a look at this code snippet:

Brand your company, interact with your customers and drive traffic.
It is our belief that with a well-researched and creatively-executed social marketing plan, any business can stand to benefit greatly. Whether your goal is to increase leads, or simply build a community, the possibilities are vast when it comes to reaching those goals through the newest online networking trends.
What are Social Media Marketing Services?
Everyone has heard of social media. You can't even turn on the TV or radio without hearing about Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Many businesses believe they should participate in social media and even understand the benefits, but with so little time available, it's hard to manage in-house. If you represent a small business facing this problem, why not consider hiring Trump Media to help you manage your social media accounts?
What are the benefits of Social Media Advertising?
The fundamental difference between Social Media Marketing/advertising and traditional advertising is the ability to interact with your clients. That alone allows you the opportunity to increase your brand awareness and helps build a better reputation for your business online. By integrating social media into your online marketing campaigns, you are adding a personal touch that reaches an audience that may be inaccessible any other way.
Why choose Trump Media for your Social Media Consulting?
Many Social Media Agencies offer creation and maintenance services, but they lack the skills required to ensure your profiles and content are optimized for not only your clients but the search engines as well. Our Social Media Solutions consider your client base AND your search engine needs. Fully optimized profiles ensure you receive the full benefit of both direct client interaction as well as search engine visibility for increased organic rankings and website traffic.
Social Media Marketing Elements
Our comprehensive Social Media Marketing services include three key elements that drive the activity and dialogue.
Strategy Development and Brand Research
Our social media experts dedicate time at the beginning of your campaign to determine an effective strategy based on questions asked during our consultation and planning meetings. Your answers help us determine who to target online, how to research content, and help our team best position your company across your chosen social networks.
One of the best ways to drive traffic to your social profiles is by listening and participating in conversations that happen both on your page/profile and on the pages and profiles of industry groups and organizations across both Twitter and Facebook.
Network Building
Our team of social media experts dedicates time each month to searching for individuals across social networking platforms that fit the criteria for your target audience. We conduct targeted searches to identify potential new followers and take steps necessary to engage with them in dialogue and connect them to your social networking profiles.

First Textile 200 Breast Sub-2:10 For Koch
May 11, 2012 - Craig Lord
Paul Biedermann, of SV Halle, clocked 1:46.70 over 200m freestyle at Germany's Olympic trials in Berlin this evening but Marco Koch stole the show with his first sub-2:10 textile effort ahead of world-championships bronze medallist Christian Vom Lehn in the 200m breaststroke.
There was also an Olympic ticket for Silke Lippok, on 1:57.93 in the 200m freestyle, while the German 4x200m relays are well placed to make the FINA cut too.
Men's 200m freestyle
Biedermann booked his place at London 2012 ahead of Clemens Rapp, TSV Bad Saulgau, on 1:47.57 to claim silver just 0.01sec ahead of Dimitri Colupaev, of SSV Udine. The champion led from the half-way point onwards (25.43, 52.32, 1:19.37, 1:46.70), Colupaev the first through among those who ended up on the podium, in 52.27, Rapp on 52.77. The third 50m saw Biedermann take control and by the 150m mark his feet flipped first for a split 0.6sec ahead of Colupaev. Up for relay places are Robin Backhaus, 1:48.19, Tim Wallburger, 1:48.69 and Christoph Fildebrandt, on 1:48.92.
Biedermann, whose top five times, ranging from the world record of 1:42.00 to 1:44.71, date back to 2009, has a textile best that matches his 6th fastest ever on the clock, 1:44.88, from the final at Shanghai 2011 world championships, his reward the bronze medal behind Americans Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps.
How Olympic season is panning out (world top 5):
Next on the list - 1:46.56 for Izotov (RUS) and Biedermann's 1:46.70.
Men's 200m breaststroke
Marco Koch, of Darmstadt, cracked 2:10 for the first time in textile, his 2:09.48 victory (29.62, 1:02.90, 1:35.98) earned from the front from the blocks, silver going to the man chasing the whole way, world-titles bronze medallist last year, Christian Vom Lehn, Wuppertal, on 2:10.07.
Koch's best is 2:08.33, the fastest of three sub-2:10 efforts at a time when shiny suits were the order of the day. In textile, the true measure of the swimming and swimmer, Koch's best had been 2:10.83. He now steps up to a different league to give Germany a second man with an eye on a medal in London, Vom Lehn's 2:08.97 from nationals a year ago on the way to bronze in Shanghai in 2:09.06 the national textile standard.
Bronze in Berlin this evening went to teenager Maximillian Kraus, of Halle, in 2:14.72.
Women's 200m freestyle
Silke Lippok, of SSG Pforzheim, led the way at the 100m on 57.00, 0.16sec up on Daniela Schreiber, the closest threesome to them a second adrift. Lippok owned the race from that point on, turning on 1:27.09 with 50m to go, Schreiber on 1:28.22, with Halle training partner Theresa Michalak on 1:28.79.
Lippok, who has a best of 1:56.98 from 2010, stopped the clock at 1:57.93, 24th in the world this year and goods for the German junior crown as well as the senior title for the 1994-born swimmer.
Michalak overhauling Schreiber for silver in 1:59.13 to 1:59.41, the race for relay places a tight one: 1:59.53 for Annika Bruhn, Alexandra Wenk on 1:59.81 and Paulina Schmiedel the first over 2mins, on 2:00.94.
Women's 200m breaststroke
The FINA A cut for London 2012 is 2:26.89, while the German crown went to Sarah Poewe, Wuppertal, in 2:27.47, 0.12sec ahead of Caroline Ruhnau, of Essen.
