Pierce Limited During Practice
Rookie running back
However, Pierce told reporters that he is going to play in Sunday's AFC championship game against the Patriots.
"I'm feeling good," he said to The Baltimore Sun. "A lot of people have questioned me about going into the game, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to count my blessings and prepare for it the best I can."
Pierce was limited to five carries for 14 yards last week against the Broncos. At one point, he came over to the sidelines with a noticeable limp.
Pierce has come on strong in the second half of the season and has run for more than 100 yards twice in the last four games.
The other limited participants were running back
16 Players Listed As Probable
The Ravens are primarily healthy heading into game, and they had 16 players listed as full participants on Wednesday's injury report.
The list includes wide receivers
Two Players Out, Five Limited For Patriots
The Patriots had five players listed on their injury report, with two of them sitting out practice.
The players missing from practice were tight end Rob Gronkowski (forearm) and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard (non-injury).
Gronkowski reportedly re-broke his arm in Sunday's win over the Texans and will require surgery, which will end his season. He won't play this weekend, but the Patriots haven't moved him to injured reserve yet.
The limited participants for the Patriots were cornerback Marquice Cole (finger), defensive ends Chandler Jones (ankle) and Trevor Scott (knee), running back Danny Woodhead (thumb) and offensive lineman Nick McDonald (shoulder).
Chandler, the brother of Ravens defensive lineman Arthur, was hurt in Sunday's game. Arthur said that he expects Chandler to play, but joked that he's urging him to take the day off.
"I really think he's going to be out there," Jones said. "I told him to rest this week."

Off-field trouble at the Super Bowl? Well, actually, there hasn't been any
Take a large group of people, like NFL players, add in the potential shenanigans of New Orleans' French Quarter, the fact that just about everyone in the city has a camera phone and social media account, and there's bound to be plenty of off-field issues and legal trouble this week, right?
Not really. The police blotter has been pretty dull to this point of Super Bowl week.
How slow is it? Well, TMZ had the big controversial scoop this week. It was three San Francisco 49ers players ... wait for it ... going to a strip club!!! (Yes, TMZ used the triple exclamation points too ... and yes, they had a bold "EXCLUSIVE" on the top of this shocking news.)
Oh the insanity of it all!
TMZ breathlessly told us that three grown men in New Orleans – 49ers players Patrick Willis, Frank Gore and Michael Crabtree in this case – went to the Penthouse Club. They even had photographic before and after proof to confirm the identity of these three adults who went into a legal establishment, which makes them like plenty of people who go to the Big Easy. There was no report of them doing anything crazy or bad inside the club. Just that they went. The drama is just too intense.
This busts the door wide open for all kinds of mindblowing stories about our heroes. Ohmigod maybe even some players had an alcoholic beverage this week! Gasp!
The 1980-81 Raiders probably had more wacky adventures on Bourbon Street before noon each day of their Super Bowl trip than either team has had so far this week.
Really, that's fine. If we can get through an entire week without a publication referencing a fresh police report from New Orleans, that's OK with us. Still have a few nights before we're in the clear on that.
Don't miss a thing from New Orleans this week!

Wodonga to welcome Queen's Baton in lead up to Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games
Local legends are being called on to carry the Queen's Baton in Wodonga as it prepares to host the Queen's Baton Relay.
The eyes of the Commonwealth will be on Wodonga on Thursday, February 15, 2018 as the Baton journeys towards its final destination, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) Opening Ceremony on April 4, 2018.
Across Australia about 3800 batonbearers are needed to share the dream of the 'friendly Games' as part of the QBR.
A community nomination program, which opens today, will offer the people of Wodonga and the surrounding region with an opportunity to carry the Baton.
Batonbearers are people of all abilities who inspire others to be great. Batonbearers will represent a community with pride and showcase to the world the region's community leaders, sporting stars and local heroes.
Setting off in Australia on December 25, 2017, the Baton will travel for 100 days to connect with as many people as possible in every state and territory.
The Queen's Baton carries a message from Her Majesty The Queen through the entire Commonwealth. The Games are declared officially open when the message is read aloud.
In just eight days, the Baton will start its global journey at Buckingham Palace on Commonwealth Day, Monday March 13.
It will travel through every Commonwealth nation and territory on its way to Australia.
From today until May 15, 2017, anyone can nominate a person who inspires them to be great. Nominations can be made at gc2018.com/qbr.
GC2018 are looking for people who:
"We're delighted to be a part of an event that will take Wodonga to the world and I encourage you to nominate a local legend you think deserves to be a Batonbearer, whether they're an aspiring young person or someone who is already accomplished," Wodonga Mayor Cr Anna Speedie said.
"The Queen's Baton Relay is a rare opportunity to shine a light on the people and places that help make our community truly great."

We removed the side metal panels as well as the top plastic panel to have a clearer look at the interior layout of the Raven RV04. According to the manual, the chassis is able to accommodate graphics cards that measure up to 13.3-inch (25.4mm) in length. Due to the upside down mounting of the motherboard, there isn't a need to remove the 3.5-inch drive enclosure in order to fit such long graphics cards. And because of that, one of the intake fans has a direct path to cool the graphics card.
From this side of the chassis, we can see the removable motherboard tray that features a number of cut-outs for cable management. The largest cut-out is for the mounting of customized CPU coolers. The tray has markings to indicate the relative positions for the different positions of the motherboards that it supports. There are also measurement markings in centimeters. Interestingly, the Raven RV04 supports two formats of motherboards that are commonly featured in value servers and workstations - they are the SSI-EEB and SSI-CEB formats. The rest of the supported motherboard formats are the usual fare from Extended ATX, ATX and down to the increasingly popular mATX format.
We mentioned earlier that the cooling options of the Raven RV04 are limited to its supplied front intake fans and an optional 120mm rear outlet fan. In order to examine the front cooling fans, we had to remove a section of the front panel, as well as the 3.5-inch drive enclosure. We can see the bottom 180mm intake fan will provide cooling for the storage drives, especially those mounted in the 3.5-inch drive enclosure. The top fan will provide cooling for the expansion cards installed on the motherboard.
The other cooling option is the rear 120mm outlet fan. As a result, in the event of choosing a closed liquid cooling system for the CPU, the user is limited to one that features a single 120mm cooling fan.

Everything I know I plagiarized in high school
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, June 22, 2003
Ever deft, the satire publication the Onion recently ran a fictional list of some of the "other" examples of plagiarism from former New York Times reporter Jayson Blair. Among them, and I am paraphrasing because I couldn't find the story to plagiarize -- I mean quote -- was "Brazil is a country of some 180 million people and the primary export is coffee."
Ah yes, the old direct crib from the encyclopedia. Who among us did not fill school reports with just that kind of copying? And if you do not have children in school, trust me, it continues today. To her credit, my daughter will sometimes tell me to wait a moment because she wants to put my "suggestion" of what she should write for a term paper in her own words.
But if you'd like a prediction, I'd say the Jayson Blair dustup is the beginning of some very tough times for journalism and news. Not because of the issues of racial politics, or the ethics of the newsroom. Those topics were well discussed -- about three weeks ago. Now we are discussing the discussion.
Nope, the real worry is much simpler and more basic: It is way too easy. It was a snap, really, for Blair to fool his editors. He got on the Internet, surfed over to the local papers in whichever area he was supposed to be reporting from and picked out a few quotes and details. In fact, he never left his apartment, but it seemed as if he was deep in the heart of Texas.

Think he was one misguided, unethical exception? How about this:
A high school senior named Blair Hornstine became embroiled in a controversy over her job as a teen correspondent for the Cherry Hill (Pa.) Courier-Post because she copied chunks of information into her articles without attributing it. Not that unusual, you say?
True, except for her defense. "Like most every teenager who has the use of a computer," she said, she cut and pasted bits from stories she looked up. "I erroneously thought the way I submitted the articles was appropriate."
Now where would a student get an idea like that? Oh, how about from one of the dozens of sites that can be found with the search engine Antistudy.com. Take, for instance, "Mega-essays."
"Over 101,000 high quality term papers and essays," it advertises. Click in and see offers for papers on Abraham Lincoln, Adolf Hitler, Albert Camus and Albert Einstein, just to scan the A's. And all for only $24.95 a month.
But why pay? Hornstine is right. Teens have refined "cut and paste" to an art. Teachers threaten to use sophisticated search engines to catch cheaters, but whom are they kidding? There is far too much information and it is much too easy to grab and glue into your essay.
Frankly, it is much too tempting for those of us in this business. Not malicious losers like Blair, but perfectly ethical professionals. You run a search for some information, print out a few stories, and it isn't until you've already sent in the copy that you realize that bits and pieces read an awful lot like what you found on the Internet.
Now, given what we know about the computer generation, would you say this problem will become more or less serious? And whom will you trust?
Several years ago, when I was writing a sports column, I climbed to the very top of the towering new football stands built for the Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. With Raider owner Al Davis in mind, I wrote that the edifice should be called "Mount Davis."
I was pretty proud of that until a couple of days later, when I got a note from a writer who claimed he'd used the term the day before and basically suggested that I'd stolen the idea from him. The fact is, not only had I never read anything he'd written, I had never heard of him.
But do you think he believed me? Would you?

ICAR Lecture Focuses on Genocide and Religious Pacifism
Posted: March 1, 2000 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
"Responding to Genocide: Challenges to Historic Religious Pacifism" is the topic of a brown bag lecture hosted by the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR) on Thursday, March 2, from noon to 1:30 p.m. The speaker, Mary Lord of the Friends Committee on National Legislation, discusses how the committee and other faith-based groups responded to genocidal conflict in places such as Kosovo, Rwanda, and East Timor. In addition, she speaks about a new conflict prevention project on which she is working that articulates practical policy alternatives to military force.
In addition to her work with the Friends Committee, Lord works among U.S. Quakers on the peace team movement. She previously was the deputy director of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
The talk is held in ICAR's main conference room, A401, at 4260 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax.

10 ... Let's start the countdown and welcome all the weirdness
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, May 9, 2007
America waited as long as it dared to start the Barry Bonds Cirque du Punditry, but it apparently can wait no longer.
In other words, the Warriors' ability to distract the nation is beginning to wane. Playing night games in Salt Lake City apparently will do that to an East Coast-centric country.
The seal was broken Tuesday, oddly enough by dueling members of the Boston Red Sox Forensics Society.
Of course, the Boston Red Sox. They have nothing better to do now that they've clinched the AL East, right?
David Ortiz opened the bidding on Bonds' behalf by suggesting that whatever form of Mother's Little Helper he may or may not have been using could not have helped him that much, because his swing is still That Swing. Ortiz's remarks were part of a wide-ranging chat in which he also said he might have unwittingly taken steroids himself at one point, in the form of a protein shake he used to drink in the Dominican Republic as a young player. He said he no longer does so for fear they actually might be high-octane smoothies.
Then Curt Schilling, a conversation magnet whose performance before the Congressional committee investigating PEDs two years ago was nearly as absurd as Mark McGwire's, offered a raging rebuttal in a radio interview.
"He (Bonds) admitted he used steroids. There's no gray area," Schilling said. "He admitted cheating on his wife, cheating on taxes and cheating on the game." He later went on to soliloquize about the impending celebrations for Homer No. 756, saying, "Hank Aaron's not being there, the commissioner (Bud Selig) not knowing where he's going to be, it's sad. I don't care if he's black, green, purple or yellow or whatever. It's just unfortunate there's good people and bad people."
Oh, and did we mention that the Giants play the Red Sox at Fenway Park in 51/2 weeks? Some thigh-slapping, commode-hugging good times coming there, we'll bet.
Yes, boys and girls, our long local nightmare is beginning anew. Not Bonds' run at Aaron necessarily, which shortened a bit when Bonds took Tom Glavine of the Cleanhead Mets deep in the fourth inning of a game the Giants eventually lost 4-1.
No, we're talking about the gathering storm of manic bloviation on the many facets of Bonds -- Bonds and the record book, Bonds and Aaron, Bonds and Selig, Bonds and Babe Ruth, Bonds and race, Bonds and the media, Bonds and the presumption of guilt, Bonds and the presumption of innocence, Bonds and Victor Conte, Bonds and Greg Anderson, Bonds and the federal government, Bonds and the Hall of Fame, Bonds and the Giants' fans who love him, Bonds and the fans who hate him, and just in case someone at ESPN has an impish soul and access to the tape library, Bonds and "Bonds on Bonds."
Put another way, Pedro Gomez and ESPN's Bonds Shadow Crew arrive today, embedded for the duration.
Put one more way still, Jemele Hill of ESPN.com wrote a letter to God on Tuesday to complain about Bonds. If she gets an answer, the rest of us can take the summer off.
The wait for the nation to get its incisors into this story has been interminable, as though nobody wanted to jump the gun. Thus, many things have happened since the season started, including:
-- The start of the season.
-- Florida winning the NCAA basketball title.
-- The renaissance of Alex Rodriguez.
-- The discovery that there is life in the Milwaukee Brewers' dugout.
-- Tiger Woods' pursuit of Tiger Woods.
-- Tony Stewart accusing NASCAR of fixing races.
-- The NBA playoffs.
-- The Stanley Cup playoffs.
-- The Mets' batboy steroid probe.
-- The George Mitchell steroid probe-ette.
-- Imus-O-Mania.
-- Barkley-O-Mania.
-- Clemens-O-Mania.
-- And of course, the Warriors in all their splendor, from the re-deification of Don E. Nelson, Super Genius to the canonization of Baron Davis' beard to the resuscitation of Stephen Jackson's public image.
But you knew it would come back to Bonds eventually. You might have thought it wouldn't really get heated until he got his homer total to 750, which given the number of times he is likely to be walked in the next few weeks, might take him to the start of June. But no, the Summer of Weird is upon us already, courtesy of the damned Red Sox.
Now we enjoy Americans making a spectacle of themselves as much as the next eight or 33 folks, and few subjects have made people pull off their own heads in exasperation quite like Our B. Lamar B. Lord knows many a good broken-bottle fight has been started in our local em-pour-iums over Bonds in the last few years, and as he closes in on the Aaron number, the brawls will resume in earnest.
But truth be told, we thought now was a little early for the moon-barking to start. The recent ABC poll that seemed to suggest that average folk could give less than a full damn about Bonds' pursuit of Aaron helped spark the questions for Ortiz and Schilling, mostly because it found to the amazement of no people whatsoever that African Americans find Bonds less objectionable (or more appealing) than do white Americans. Ortiz and Schilling, though, made it Topic A again for no better reason than they were asked about Bonds rather than, say, Paul Wolfowitz.
Plus, Bonds helped make it Topic A by getting off to another ungodly start.
Still, it's May 9, for God's sake, and we thought we had a few more weeks before the city started going squirrelly. Instead, the queue is already forming, and it figures to be a long and unruly one. America is stoking up for another round of high-fever delirium again with Barry Bonds as the locus, and San Francisco as the Petri dish.
So welcome back, America. Glad to have you back (cough! hack! gakkhh!). Keep your feet off the furniture, don't throw up in the ash trays, tip your server, and checkout time is July 11. Oh, and no refunds.

Game Recaps 6/15: Gardner dominates in Akron win
|Joe Gardner (Photo: Lianna Holub)
Right-hander Joe Gardner tossed eight scoreless innings to help the Akron Aeros win game two of a three-game series against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 3-0 Wednesday at Canal Park.
Gardner got the win for the Aeros scattering six hits, walking one and striking out three. Righty Cory Burns shut the door in the top of the ninth inning to earn his 17th save of 2011.
Right-handed pitcher Henderson Alvarez was the Fisher Cats tough luck loser pitching seven innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits, walking two and striking out none.
The Aeros (32-34) broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the third inning. Karexon Sanchez singled to open the frame. With one out, Sanchez scored all the way from first on an Oliver Dominguez throwing error to make it 1-0.
Matt McBride hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning to give the Aeros a 2-0 lead.
Akron added a run in the bottom of the eighth inning and went on to the win.
The Aeros and Fisher Cats (38-26) will play the rubber match of this three-game series Thursday. Akron has yet to announce a starter for Thursday

WTMM (104.5 FM) talk-show hosts Mike Lindsley and Brian Cady were fired today by Townsquare Media, owner of the Mechanicville-based, ESPN-affiliated sports radio station.
Stephen Giuttari, operations manager at Townsquare, confirmed the dismissals this afternoon.
"They're effectively no longer with the company immediately," Giuttari said. "They're both out of the building. I can't comment other than that."
Guittari would not give a reason. Both hosts were involved in a hoax 2½ weeks ago in which a man who said he was former New York Yankees outfielder Shane Spencer was put on the air.
The station will unveil a new afternoon lineup within the next two weeks, according to Guittari. Afternoon drive-time host Bruce Jacobs was informed earlier this month that his contract will not be renewed. He will remain on the air until Sept. 6. Jacobs' contract expires Sept. 18.
Lindsley, a popular host in the Syracuse market, was hired in late March to become the station's 1-4 p.m. show host, replacing Brian Noe. Lindsley did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Cady was a producer and part-time host who was at the station when the faux Shane Spencer called.
Lindsley, who had exchanged emails with the real Spencer, thought he had an interview with the ex-Yankee lined up for an interview 1:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 12. When the two didn't connect, Lindsley assumed they would have to reschedule until the imposter called around 2 p.m.
Unsuspicious that it may not be the real Spencer, Lindsley conducted a phone interview with the imposter, who during the nearly half-hour conversation said he experimented with performance-enhancing drugs and also implied that Yankees teammates Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera might not be as innocent as their reputations.
When the "real" Spencer found out, he called the station, which aired a five-minute interview between the former ballplayer and Lindsley on Tuesday night, Aug. 13.
Armen Williams, hired recently as WTMM's brand manager and 1-3 show host, debuted on the air today. He was not scheduled to begin until Sept. 9.
"We felt putting him on the air earlier would be a good thing, so he's getting his sealegs down on that," Guittari said. "Bruce is on the air through next Friday, then Bruce is leaving. He's moving to Phoenix."
Joe Calderone, former Your News Now (Time Warner Ch. 9) anchor who runs his own production company, did a three-hour audition Sunday night.
Cady, on his Facebook page, said, "Since a fair portion of my friends already know, I guess I can just make it 'Facebook official' now — as of about 11:15 this morning, I am no longer employed by Townsquare Media.

The composition and structure of 300 enset gardens from 10 different locations in Sidama were examined. Average size of the gardens was 0.74 ha. The gardens are composed of mixtures of various named enset varieties and different groups recognisable on the basis of 'sex' (male and female) and use (cooking and processing). The gardens exhibit high diversity, with a given garden containing up to 24 varieties (mean = 8.2). However, the components are not represented equally. Typically, the gardens consisted of one or two very abundant varieties and a much larger number of less common ones. Enset gardens are dynamic because the number and composition of varieties and different types changed from garden to garden, from location to location and across time. Their composition, structure and dynamics have been influenced by human, socio-economic factors (farm size, land per capita, cropping patterns and size of livestock), temporal circumstances and landscape elements (elevation) in which they are found. The nature, characteristics, organization and functions of Sidama enset gardens are outlined and the importance of maintaining mixtures of varieties for farmers is discussed.

Anita Shreve grew up in Dedham, Massachusetts. Her novels include The Pilot's Wife, The Weight of
Water, Eden Close, Strange Fits of Passion, Where or When, and Resistance.
She divides her time between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Anita Shreve began writing fiction while working as a high school teacher after graduating from Tufts University. Although one of her first published stories, "Past the Island, Drifting," was awarded an O. Henry Prize in 1975, Shreve felt she couldn't make a living as a fiction writer so she became a journalist. She traveled to Africa and spent three years in Kenya, writing articles that appeared in magazines such as Quest, US, and Newsweek. Back in the United States, she turned to raising her children and writing freelance articles for magazines. Shreve later expanded two of these articles -- both published in the New York Times Magazine -- into the nonfiction books Remaking Motherhood and Women Together, Women Alone. At the same time Shreve also began working on her first novel, Eden Close. With its publication in 1989, she gave up journalism for writing fiction full time, thrilled, as she says, with "the rush of freedom that I could make it up."

I have a self propelled Royal Dirt Devil vacuum model number 087900 and it goes backward fine but forward has to be pushed so hard it's impossible. Is this a switch? Do you know about how much the part would cost and can it be done by a beginner. We fix a lot of things ourselves but we aren't mechanics by no means. We put a brand new belt on it. I don't think it can be put on backwards and brush turns fine. Where is the switch? Use layman's terms.
You might try a new belt and/or brush roll. The brush roll is what helps pull a vacuum forward, the power drive helps, but if the brush isn't turning like it should, then it will hinder forward motion. The belt may look ok, but they stretch to the ... Vacuums

If you natural/home birth, does your partner think it's strange?
I'm having this baby at a birth center and Carlos is not enthused. He pretty much said he'd go along with it because he can't force me to go to the hospital, but he said I'm "weird" and that he feels like the place is "too natural" because there aren't any machines or anything (they're in the closets, duh!). Isn't that the point? I keep trying to explain my POV to him but he doesn't want to hear it. He knows what I think but he thinks that I'm backwards and strange for wanting to do things naturally and he said that he wishes I was normal and that I'd just go to the hospital and follow standard birth procedure like "normal" women.
It really hurts my feelings. He thinks that all of my opinions about birth come from the internet and suggested cutting it off so I didn't get any more ideas... Um, no. I wanted to have a natural birth with my daughter, when I was 16 and before I was on DS or in any mothering group. I failed because my support people pushed me to have the epi and eroded all the faith I had in myself and my body. I've always felt strongly that natural is best, and to be honest if we were to put a start date on any of it, it all began when I was in 6th grade and took world cultures and started studying world religions, especially buddhism, druid and wicca on my own time. I have tons of homeopathy and herb books, books about meditation, spells, and crystals. So I've always thought how I think. I've educated myself through the internet, but he seems to think that there is like some cult of strange natural mamas on here who are brain washing me to make stupid decisions that go against the norm.
I mean, he sat there in our orientation and listened to the MALE midwife with over 30 years experience explain the benefits of natural birth, delayed cord clamping, skin to skin contact, etc. But apparently none of that sunk in because to him birth is still an emergency and I should just go to the hospital and let they do what they will to me and my baby because that's what normal people do.
UGHHH I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW Does anyone else have a partner who feels this way about your birth choices? Tell me I'm not alone. I feel like I shouldn't even be continuing to procreate with this idiot right this minute because he is so closed minded and acts like my endless self education is stupidity incarnate.

Re: If you natural/home birth, does your partner think it's strange?
Hang in there momma! Good thing it is your choice! My DH said no to a home-birth and we birthed in a birth center too. DH thought home-birth was too out there so that was our compromise. Also I agree natural birth has been around long before hospital births came to be routine. Maybe you should have him watch "Business of Being Born". That really opened DH's eyes to the realities of hospital births. Also I don't think the internet can persuade someone to natural birth it has to be a decision within you. Hopefully you have a great support system this time because you will need it when the baby comes.

Re: If you natural/home birth, does your partner think it's strange?
Oh mama, Im so sorry. With my first baby (i was 20 when he was born) my husband used to make comments to everyone that "if she had her way shed be having this baby in the bathtub at home!" which was true. I ended up choosing a CNM at the OB office because it was the closest thing to a compromise with the limited birth options where we lived at the time (Myrtle Beach, SC). We went in when my water broke, which was my first mistake, and I was augmented with put 12 hours later, the nurses told DH that I was "crazy" for refusing the epi and HE ended up talking me into it .
When I got pregnant with DS2, I tried and tried to talk him into a homebirth, but he was hell bent against it. I went with the same CNM, but that time, I contacted a local doula and childbirth educator who took me on pro bono because we were on Medicaid, and she and my CNM talked the hospital into allowing me to bring in an aqua doula for labor (they wouldn't "allow" me to birth in it) but when my water broke and there was mechonium in the fluid and my midwife was stuck in WV due to flight delays or car trouble (can't remember, she was there for thanksgiving) the OB on call refused to let me use the tub and even with a doula, my birth was almost identical to the first one . Only difference was DH didn't say a WORD about the epi, DS2 was sunny side up and I couldn't handle it strapped to the bed with monitors and pit, so I requested it.
When I got pregnant with DS3, I told him I didn't care what he wanted for the birth. I had done it his way 2 times and both times ended up with every intervention except a csection and I was having a homebirth whether he liked it or not. If he couldn't handle it, he could go somewhere else while I had the baby, and if he refused to pay (which wasn't ALOT, there was a homebirth midwife who was taking Medicaid, I only had to come up with an additional $750) I would find some way to pay for it myself (in the end, my mom payed for it). I ended up being induced at 42 weeks due to SC state midwifery and homebirth laws, but I did manage to go epi free which was very healing for me and the new OB I had during that pregnancy was homebirth friendly and honored all of my wishes for the birth except allowing us to bring in a tub because they didn't have wireless monitors and since I was on pit for the induction I needed constant monitoring. I had an amazing nurse who skipped her lunch break to stay with me and hold the monitors on my belly so I would be able to labor off the bed and a close friend was there as my doula because dh was incapable of being my support system, and unfortunately, my mom wasn't able to be there till the next day.
I wish I could tell you he will come around, but 3 pregnancies and hoping for anoth with my own DH showed that to be untrue for me. The best I can tell you is to keep on truckin. You have confidence in your body, a history of good births and a good birth team in place. You may have to flat out tell him that this is no longer up for discussion. As a Christian wife, it was hard for me to tell DH that his opinion didn't matter the last time, but I did in the most respectful way I could and told him that if he was willing to watch some videos, go to childbirth classes, read some stats, he would understand why I felt being home was the safest option for me, but since he wasn't, and he could not provide ANY research or data to back up his reasons why I should go to the hospital (because there aren't any and he refused to do the research), I had to make this decision for me and our baby.
Good luck and BIG

Re: If you natural/home birth, does your partner think it's strange?
If he's anything like my DH, his mind will be changed after he sees you do it. My first 3 were hospital births, with epis that DH encouraged because he couldn't stand feeling so helpless and seeing me "go through that." I always had problems with the epis, and just did not have a great experience in the hospital, ever. With my 4th, I knew I wanted something different. I was comfortable with a homebirth, but DH was not, and he was very very insistent about it. We found a nurse midwife, who was able to do things like IVs if necessary, and we found a birth house close to the hospital (actually, it was my doula's house where she had a birthing suite set up for that specific purpose). It was a good compromise for us. DH was still not really convinced, and he did use those words like "weird" and "hippie", but I just laughed him off, and made him meet me halfway. After DS was born, peacefully in the birthing pool, weighing 9 lbs 10 oz (a full 2 lbs bigger than any of my other babies!) DH said something like, "maybe this midwife thing is the way to go." He couldn't believe how simple and easy the whole process of birth can be, and he was so proud of me! I am forever grateful to him for admitting that he was wrong. I have had 2 homebirths since then, the most recent one being an unplanned (well, kinda planned, but don't tell anyone I said that, lol) unassisted birth. DH has even bragged about me to his coworkers, who are all men, which I think is so funny and so sweet. Stink to your guns, mama. Don't let him have his way. This is your birth!

Thanks ladies. It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one. I just soaked in the tub for an hour to cool off, I was so pissed. @ Brittney, I'm sorry your DH hasn't come around. Good for you for standing up for yourself.
I'm just so confused because he's all for the no meds aspect of it after our last birth--I had a natural birth in the hospital with DS, and he even made sure to remind me I didn't want the epi, like I asked. It was HARD, DS was sunny side up and I had the worst back labor but he never one encouraged drugs or questioned me during the birth. After Wes was born, he went with him when they took him away and told me how he was so awake and alert compared to all the other babies, he was so proud of me for going epi free. He saw how hard I had to fight to have what I wanted which, in the end, wasn't all respected. He saw how uncomfortable I was being stuck in the hospital and having to argue with the doctors and nurses.
I originally wanted a homebirth with DS and he was adamantly against it. I didn't know about this birth center then so I compromised and did my natural birth at the hospital. I feel like having a birth center birth is meeting him half way. It's literally 5 minutes from the affiliated hospital, so if anything would go wrong, we'd be transferred in no time at all. So I just don't understand why he would not want me to be in a birthing center with like-minded people so that I can be comfortable and feel safe during a very important life changing event, instead of feeling tense and uncomfortable and worried that things won't be done according to my wishes. *sigh*

I think I'm going to look into getting a doula. I wanted one last time and he said no...but I really need more support (and rubs! LOL!) than he can give during labor. I guess if he doesn't like it, he can wait outside.

Re: If you natural/home birth, does your partner think it's strange?
I feel your pain!! DH and I just had a similar arguement but ours bled over into his not wanting me to babywear, co-sleep or cloth diaper.
Around here, we don't have many birthing options. We live in the Bible Belt and everything is very conservative. The closest midwife is over 100 miles away. So it will be a hospital birth. I told him about "interviewing" OBs soon to find one that will respect and encourage my birthing choices and he thinks I'm just being difficult. Here, it's rare a birthing mama gets off the bed, much less walks around, takes a bath (there are no baths at the hospital) or does anything else. But my birthing experience with DS wasn't terrible; the OB and nurses tried to follow my birthing plan as much as the hospital would allow. (DS is not my DH's son so this is his first birth experience).
Like you, natural birth, babywearing, co-sleeping and cloth diapering are not something I think I can budge on. After he told me all of this, I blew up at him and said "What, are you going to tell me I can't breastfeed next? Or are you going to tell me how to be pregnant? You have no idea what you're talking about!"
There are plenty of us going through the same thing and it's not easy. I'm not sure what to tell you because I'm obviously pregnant and flying off the handle easily and have not come up with any good way to handle it. But good luck and you're not alone.

I tell DH none of it is open for discussion unless he comes ready to debate fairly, with research and reputable sources to back up his arguments.
I want what I want and have research to prove that what I want is not detrimental to me or my child. If he wants something different, he owes me the respect to approach the conversation with an open mind and similarly well-researched.

We have 2 and one on the way. We weren't together for the first one and he wasn't apart of the birth. It was an induction that eneded with a csection. When I found out I was pregnancy with #2 I knew right away I wanted a vbac. I wasn't sure about home birth still. I had said something to DH and he said yeah when pigs fly! He didn't understand why I wanted a vbac. On the day I found out I was having another csection I cried the entire day. It was so upsetting to me. And then the spinal was awful. It took so many painful tries to get it in. DH layer told me he could hear me crying in the hall and he'd never heard someone in so much pain. And then the recovery was hard. I had a spinal with no morphine and then the pain medicine they were suppose to give me got delayed. The spinal wore off and I had nothing in my system for the pain. Once we got home I needed DH to wash me in the shower and put my clothes on. After all of that he finally figured out why I didn't want a csection.
So this time I didn't even ask I just hired a midwife. He made a few comments like the money I'm paying her is a waste I'm just going to have a csection. After a few comments I finally told him this is how its happening and explained his roll. He hasn't said anything neg since. I'm sure he thinks I'm crazy still. But once it happens I think he will see the difference and be on board if there is a next time.
I hope your DH comes around once it happens!

Men reporting physical abuse up 68%
03/09/2013 - 10:33:02Back to Ireland Home
The number of men reporting domestic abuse is on the rise.
The latest figures from AMEN, a charity that supports victims of such abuse, show over 5,200 calls were made to its helpline in 2012.
More and more men are picking up the phone and seeking professional help for domestic violence.
A total of 5,225 calls were made to AMEN's call centre last year, a 21% increase in the number of calls made in 2011.
According to the Navan-based charity, there were 1,621 reports of physical abuse. There were only 962 such incidents reported the year before - a 68% increase.
Others called the helpline to say their wife or girlfriend was abusing them verbally or psychologically.
Other types of abuse include financial or sexual and the majority of victims chose to contact the service by phone rather than in person.
AMEN says the stigma surrounded male domestic abuse still exists in Ireland but is urging those suffering at the hands of an abusive partner to contact them in confidence on 046 9023 718


text: Hey you over there in the UK! The BBC has confirmed that they are starting trial HD broadcasts in June. They're going to run the signal for a 12 month period on three different broadcast mediums. The first is through SkyHD and the second via Telewest cable. The last part is for a few hundred over-the-air users in London. This is a closed trial for a select few. So viewers can expect to watch Rome and Bleak House in HD real soon. BBC just might have coverage of the World Cup as what would an European HD announcement be with out the World Cup sneaking in here someplace!

New Zealand won the opening Tri-Nations match against Australia on Saturday by 22 points to 16, but the Wallabies will be reflecting this week on a game they should probably have won.
The Away side surged to a 10-point lead as they went in search of their first win at Eden Park since 1986, and for the opening quarter, they looked by far the most threatening.
However, with another try there for the taking, the opportunity was butchered as the ball was dropped and New Zealand were let off the hook. You had the feeling at the time that that score could have been crucial, and so it proved as the All Blacks clawed their way back into the game.
The bookies have now installed South Africa as favourites for the Tri-Nations, given that New Zealand looked beatable, and Australia have already been beaten. But as we know, there is a long, long way to go before this tournament ends (as we have discussed on The Rugby Blog already!), and Australia will be confident that if they can sustain their first half performance for 80 minutes, they can beat anyone in the world.
More importantly, the result has put me straight to the top of the SuperBru predictions league following by NZ by 6 prediction. Great start!

Response to
recommendations on DE agencies? esp when education is on top of criteria list?
this one doesn't give you the hard sell and they seem to have a well educated donors
The LICSW who I've met with and respect, in my opnion, brings a lot of credibility to the organization.
wished I could have used them - but they didn't have a donor who was local and who's timing would work for me.
