He told me that I was cleared to do all physical activity I wanted to do and if, some day, the hernia became painful or something I could not live with, he would open up my abdomen along my existing scar, push things back where they belong with some mesh and sew me back together again. I said I have no intention of ever going through abdominal surgery again, so my belly lump and I are going to have to learn to live together. Thank you so much for answering my question and lighting a fire under me to go get it checked rather than worry about it.

If the protrusion you describe is a year old, as I infer from what you wrote, that's probably not what it is. Could be a hernia; or what's called "diastasis recti" which is a wide separation of the abdominal muscles. You might want to have your surgeon have a look.Sid Schwabhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-22129668844002493542014-08-18T07:35:42.870-07:002014-08-18T07:35:42.870-07:00Bless you for taking time to explain these things....Bless you for taking time to explain these things. I had abdominal surgery last year after a bleeding ulcer left a lot of scar tissue that blocked the passageway from duodenum to small intestine. The scar runs from my sternum to navel. Scar looks great but the grotesque, protruding ridge makes me think the surgeon sewed his upper arm under my skin. It makes me feel horrible about my appearance. To read your description that this is supposed to be like this makes me feel slightly less horrified by the appearance of my belly.4Dailyshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-35110586949002671792014-08-17T14:52:03.625-07:002014-08-17T14:52:03.625-07:00Thks for the quick response.

The extent to which there's a noticeable "ridge" depends on the size, and to some degree, of the location.

It's normal for there to be palpable firmness where there is active healing. Whether a given finding is due to normal healing or something else isn't something that can be decided online. Whenever there are concerns about what's going on in the postoperative period, it's best to be in touch with the surgeon who did the operation.

I have saw the surgeon and she states that by massaging this ridge above the s section scar it may improve the appearance. But she did not state whether or not this would dissipate.

I can't specifically diagnose what's going on.

As a general comment, which may or may not apply to you, I can repeat what I said in this post: it's normal to have a firm ridge in the area of an incision that can be quite prominent, and which may take three months or more to go away.

When viewers last saw the Beauchamp women, they had defeated Penelope (Virginia Madsen), but the fight had only just begun.

Which backsplash for my kitchen?
January 11, 2013 in Design Dilemma
I'd like to add one. I've been reading that mosaic tiles are kind of played. Are they really? I picked these 2. Which should I go with?
I like the lighter one. I think you will get better contrast with the counter and pull in the floor better

If these are the choices, definitely the one closest to the camera (the darker one). It blends well. For my taste, I would prefer something less busy. I would pick a quiet neutral from the counter top and stick with a solid colour in something simple like subway tiles, or a very subtle texture.

I also like the lighter one for exactly the 2 reasons teeooh stated. For my taste, I would be looking at a more neutral stone, in a natural shade of cream or beige as your granite is beautiful and the backsplash should not compete. Good luck. Lovely kitchen!

I too would pick something less busy so that the counter top could be the star. I think that both choices fight with the counter

I like it too but if you notice, they used it with a solid countertop. That way it is the feature.

IMO, granite generally has such a busy pattern that adding a multi-color tile backsplash is just too much.
3 Likes January 11, 2013 at 4:49PM
I agree with some of the other posters that a more neutral/solid backsplash would not look so busy as either of your choices. Perhaps a cream, tumbled tile all over with a thin, horizontal strip of the mosaics or the lozenges running through the center or top third would add the sparkle that you want but not be so busy.
4 Likes January 11, 2013 at 4:51PM
I agree with the majority. A solid colour subway tile would look stunning. You can install it in a brick style for a more traditional look.
2 Likes January 11, 2013 at 5:00PM
And you can find full sized subway tiles in glass, too.

I agree that your countertop should stay the focal point and not compete with your tile. Also, consider a larger sized tile. The photo shows Island Stone "boulevard" in cement.

Thanks for the suggestions. Back to the drawing board to find some subway or boulevard tiles. I certainly agree. Never really considered that it would compete with the counters. I don't want it to look outdated in a year or too busy.
2 Likes January 11, 2013 at 5:14PM
a solid beige or solid black (or whatever your darkest color is in the countertop!) Darker would be more dramatic.

Hi---I really like this tile for you---a bit of glass to reflect light. Good Luck!

How is the 4" backsplash working for you? Instead of having another material above what you have now why not consider something with personality. Paint the splash and use a heat proof and washable ceramic platter, metal tray or ceramic plaque behind the cooktop strategically placed to catch the splatters. You can spot clean it or take it down and put it in the DW. You can place or hang complementary items adjacent to the area and/or you could coordinate with the decorative items in the glass cabinet above. I have attached some photos.

Your kitchen is beautiful. I think your counter top is busy and should be the star. I would use a plain natural stone with a creamy color that looks good with the granite. The glass tile is just to busy and would detract from the stone.

What does a fashion writer do on a day off? She goes shopping.
But this was no ordinary trip to the local mall. I went to the Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon for the first time over Labor Day weekend.
I wondered if this was going to be another exercise in suffering for fashion since, at that time, it was a billion degrees in Orange County and two billion in the desert. Desert Hills, like most outlet centers, is outdoors.
It's amazing what motivation shopping can be though, as my friend Jess and I walked in or past all 130 outlet stores in more than five hours. In-store air conditioning is a marvel.
We started at Furla where we encountered what would be a recurring principle - half off expensive is still expensive.
We soon had success at Barneys New York, where Jess got a couple tops and I found this fantastic Barneys label dress for $49 (regularly $79).
Having been enlightened by Clinton Kelly, we headed next to Theory. I didn't find anything I wanted that was in my size. Jess hemmed and hawed over a blazer and top.
In the end, they were left behind because here's another thing to keep in mind about outlet shopping - you might not be able to return an item.
In this case, Theory wasn't allowing returns on those pieces. But even if they did, you probably can't return it to, say, the closer South Coast Plaza store, and you won't want to drive all the way out to Cabazon to return one thing.
Final Cut BCBG Max Azria (not to be confused with the other BCBG Max Azria store at Desert Hills) was truly cruel in arranging a couple racks of super-discounted items outside. Did I mention it was two billion degrees out?
Going in, I found a deep purple blouson top for $49 (regularly $118). Jess got the help of a saleswoman who started pulling together outfits for her.
Another tip: Beware of this woman! While Jess was trying on clothes, the saleswoman proceeded to tell me, unsolicited, what type of clothes I should wear for my body type. And when I demurred on a dress she was trying to pull for me, she called me a Plain Jane. She declared she knew what she was doing because she reads fashion magazines all the time.
Great, now leave me alone.>

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

This summer, AMATS will begin conducting a household travel survey to better understand the travel of Anchorage and Mat-Su Valley residents. The previous household travel survey (HTS) in the area was completed in 2002, and lots of changes have happened since then:
The Regional Household Travel Survey will provide transportation planners with current information on how residents travel for work, school, recreation and shopping, and how existing roads, trails, highways and other transportation facilities are used.
Starting in July 2014, your household may be randomly selected to participate in the survey on a pre-assigned date. It is important to collect travel data from households like yours across Anchorage, Chugiak-Eagle River and Mat-Su Valley so that the survey is statistically representative of all residents. If your household is selected and you agree to participate (we hope you will!) you will be asked to report your travel for one day by logging all trips taken on that day for everyone in your household. Your privacy will be protected! Your name and address will not be linked to the survey and all answers will be kept strictly anonymous. ,
For more information click on the link below to visit the project website. You can also email email@example.com with questions about the survey or email the public involvement coordinator at email@example.com.

Demi's 'struggling artist' character will reportedly go note-for-note with Adam Lambert.
Another huge name is coming to Glee in season five! Demi Lovato has been tapped to play a New York-based singer named Dani who will befriend Rachel (Lea Michele) and Santana (Naya Rivera), according to HollywoodLife.com's sister site TVLine. But those girls aren't going to be the only ones interacting with the X Factor judge.
Dani is also scheduled to share the screen with fellow newcomer Adam Lambert, as the two will have "several musical numbers together."
"@ddlovato I just heard the news!" Adam tweeted Aug. 19, shortly after the news of Demi's arrival broke. "Excited to sing w you girl!"
Demi will be introduced Oct. 3 during the second Beatles episode, just one week before the Cory Monteith/Finn tribute.
Adam Lambert's 'Glee' Role Revealed
While Demi will be presumably making sweet music with Adam, one current Gleek won't be playing nice with the American Idol runner-up. During a recent visit to Live with Kelly & Michael, Chris Colfer revealed that Adam will be playing Kurt's nemesis!
"Adam Lambert is joining the show, and he's going to play my nemesis," Chris revealed during his Aug. 7 appearance. "I always wanted to see Kurt be mean."
That makes two of us!

NEO and Tata Sky are not able to agree on pricing
Acting on a complaint from subscribers, the Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has issued notice to Tata Sky to explain its position on discontinuation of two NEO channels from its package, and charging extra money for a premier HD channel allegedly in violation of service agreement.
However, TDSAT has not granted any interim relief to the complainant.
The hearing is scheduled for November 27. In a response to The Hindu, Tata Sky has denied these allegations, and said it would contest the case.
NGO petition
This follows a petition filed by Gurgaon-based NGO Adhikaar-the Right Path on behalf of six Tata Sky subscribers from Gurgaon and Delhi who were peeved with Tata Sky's decision to take two NEO channels namely NEO Prime and NEO Sports off the air a few days ago.
Interestingly, NEO has also separately moved TDSAT to prevent Tata Sky from blocking its signals. NEO's contract with TataSky was coming up for renewal but the DTH major was not keen to renew it for certain reasons.
Tata Sky has been accused of depriving its subscribers from viewing the NEO channels that they had paid for in the annual mega package.
According to the petition, two NEO channels have been arbitrarily discontinued from the package and thus preventing the subscribers from viewing some unique programmes aired exclusively on these channels. "We filed the petition after getting several complaints from Tata Sky subscribers. They don't have money to fight the case, so we took up the matter on their behalf," said Rajeev Yadav, National President of Adhikaar-the Right Path who is also an advocate in the Supreme Court. "The two cases, filed by an NGO and NEO came up in TDSAT last week and the interim relief sought in both the cases was rejected by the court. NEO's contract was coming up for renewal at the end of September.
This could not be renewed as we could not come to a mutually suitable understanding on the commercials," Harit Nagpal, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Tata Sky, told The Hindu.
According to a person familiar with the matter, NEO was asking for a high price that was not acceptable to Tata Sky considering the content the broadcaster was providing.
Breach of contract
The NGO, on its part, has accused Tata Sky of resorting to unfair trade practices, breach of contract and violation of Direct-To-Home Broadcasting (Standards of Quality of Service and Redressal of Grievances) Regulations, 2007 (as amended up to date).
As per the petition, Tata Sky has been charging Rs.60 extra for providing Star World Premiere HD channel though the channel should have come free of cost as per the Mega package offered by the company.
"As regards Star Premier, it is a channel that is made available to us as well as any other platform, to be sold as a la carte only and not to be included in any existing package. This category of Specials started emerging earlier this year when our competitors started carrying similar niche channels. Anticipating this, our web site as well as all promotional material since February 2013 has carried specific information that Specials are not a part of packages including Mega Pack," Mr. Nagpal said.
Tata Sky had always operated with the highest standards of ethics in its dealings with its customers as well as business partners, and would not compromise on these under any circumstances, he added. "We have individually responded to each and every mail that has been received on these subjects from our subscribers," he said.
Mr. Nagpal also said that Tata Sky had added 30 more channels in its bouquet without charging anything extra. "If any subscriber wants refund for NEO, we will be happy to do that," he added.
The petitioner has urged TDSAT to direct Tata Sky to refund the total amount paid towards set-top box, installation charges, and advance money for annual subscription to customers for failure to provide the contracted service.

It's hard to believe, but Japan's total economy is smaller now than it was 20 years ago.
The country's story has become an all-too-familiar one: boom, bust, and stagnation. As Nomura economist Richard Koo points out, Japan lost three GDPs worth of wealth when its "Heisei bubble" burst in the early 1990s. The U.S., as point of comparison, "only" lost one during the Great Crash of 1929. But despite this bigger shock, 1990s Japan managed to avoid a 1930s-style collapse by pumping money into infrastructure and selling things to the rest of the world.
It was just enough to keep their economy on life support. But growth still died. You can see that in the chart below from Brad DeLong. The red line shows Japan's GDP per capita as a percentage of the U.S.'s: after catching up for decades, it lost ground in the 1990s, and never made it up. In other words, Japan is rich, but it should be richer still.
The problem was Japan's falling prices. Now, deflation sounds like a good deal for consumers—who doesn't like cheaper things?—but it's a disaster for the economy. In the worst case, prices and wages fall so much that people can't pay back loans that don't fall. It's what economist Irving Fisher called "debt deflation": a downward spiral into mass bankruptcy and mass unemployment.
But even in the not-as-bad case, in which prices only fall a little and wages don't, it can still maim the economy. People put off purchases and companies put off investments when things cost more today than tomorrow. And over-leveraged households and businesses have a hard time cutting their debts to more manageable levels when inflation isn't helping them out. That's true even if inflation is a low positive, instead of a low negative, number—what the IMF fittingly calls "lowflation."
Irresponsible responsibility
So why did Japan let itself get stuck in this deflationary trap? Let prices fall more than real GDP grew, so that its total economy shrank? Well, it was afraid to do what it needed to do to get out. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) couldn't just cut interest rates like it normally would, because rates were already at zero. So it had to try new things, unconventional things—and it didn't want to. Instead, it said that there was nothing it could do. Or that a little deflation was actually a good thing.
Now, it wouldn't have been easy for Japan to shake its post-bust blues. But it didn't even try. As Paul Krugman pointed out in 1998, the problem was that the BOJ couldn't cut interest rates to increase inflation today, so it needed to "credibly promise to be irresponsible" to increase expected inflation tomorrow. In other words, it needed to convince markets that it was going to keep rates lower than it "should" once the recovery got going. But that was too much for a staid central bank like the BOJ. It was more worried about inflation than a lost decade. So it very responsibly did nothing. It was, as another Princeton professor named Ben Bernanke put it in 1999, "a case of self-induced paralysis."
Rooseveltian resolve ...
It only took 15 years, but the BOJ is finally waking up. Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has made whipping deflation a priority—and he's stacked the central bank with people who agree. In the past year, the BOJ has said it will do "whatever it takes" to stop prices from falling, and it's backed that up. It's announced a two percent inflation target, and said that it will keep buying long-term bonds until inflation gets and stays there.
It's working. The stock market has soared. Core inflation is at a 15-year high. And workers are starting to demand, and get, raises. But this might not be enough. A new Brookings paper estimates that this added about one percentage point to 2013 growth—a good start, but just that. Japan is still far from where it should be, and far from growing fast enough to get there. The question is if this is as good as it gets. And the answer depends on how you think bond-buying works.
"The problem with quantitative easing (QE)," Bernanke has said, "is it works in practice, but it doesn't work in theory." Now, there are two basic stories about why it does actually work. The first is mechanistic: When the Fed buys Treasury or mortgage bonds, the banks that owned them will, hopefully, buy other things. That might be stocks or corporate bonds or something else entirely. Whatever the case, it should push those asset prices up. And that should help companies borrow for less and make the people who own these things feel richer—and more likely to spend. If this is how QE works, then the BOJ can do a little bit better, but not much more, by buying different types of assets than it already is.

Blacks are one standard deviation below whites and Asians in measured IQ. They commit crime at a much greater rate and 70% of the children are illegitamate. Derbyshire told the truth in a gentle way, but the PC maniacs cannot stand the truth.
Watch how blacks will react when Zimmerman is either found not guilty or the case is tossed, which is inevitable. Good times are coming.
Proof please... Cite your sources... 98% of all of us with 180+ IQs know you're full of it. And that's significant to ∞ standard deviations.
BTW, define your terms: "Black," "White," and "Asian" while you're at it. No one else on this forum has even tried despite repeated appeals for a definition of such "races". Same criteria as outlined below.
See Philip L Roth's 2001 meta analysis in Personal Psychology, Volume 54, Issue 2, pages 297–330, June 2001.
Did you even read it (understand it)? "However, the 1 standard deviation summary of group differences fails to capture many of the complexities in estimating ethnic group differences in employment settings. For example, our results indicate that job complexity, the use of within job versus across job study design, focus on applicant versus incumbent samples, and the exact construct of interest are important moderators of standardized group differences."
Anyway, while signing up for this Wiley Online Library to read your article, I may have discovered an analogy that might help you see some of the massive faults in this social construct of "race"/"ethnicity". When you sign up for this library access, you're asked to identify your "Area of Interest". In the real world, people have many interests. I found several there in the dropdown that would apply to me. However, this site decides to pigeonhole me into choosing one. I'm also not allowed to choose "other" or "multiple". Fortunately it does allow me to change it, if I want, but the fact is the field is rendered meaningless (like race). I'm interested in Chemistry, Religion, Information Systems, etc. Why should I have to choose one?
You do the same thing -- but rather than trying to have people classified by interests, they're classified by physical appearance. Mostly traits like skin color, hair, etc. However, as a DBA I can do nothing but laugh at the Wiley Online Library and its ignorance. If they attempt to do any sort of analysis based on the "interests" of their readership they will fail because their model in no way represents reality. For example, I chose economics because it was one of my interests and it was towards the top. However, economics is a rather large field and there's a lot of mundane crap out there that I'm really not interested in. So, if they use this "Interest" field to send me an email every time they get an "economics" article, I'll quickly start sending their emails to spam. However, if they were really smart they'd recognize that people have varying interests and by more accurately portraying reality they would better engage their readership by alerting them to genuinely interesting articles rather than every little thing that comes through a certain topic.
You are doing the same thing with people. People are either like you, or they are a part of some "other". They're "different". However, my goal is to destroy this fundamental flaw in our society: the belief that my skin color or yours indicates I'm any more (or less) like you than someone with different skin color. There are a few facts that cannot be avoided: those with darker skin color in this country are more likely to come from poorer families and are more likely to be incarcerated. (I figure we have a legacy of slavery, Jim Crow to thank for that -- as well as continued ignorant nonsense being spouted by scared people like yourself.) That's basically all your META-ANALYSIS paper asserts -- certainly not the racial superiority that you claim.
When I was in grad school, my roommates (who were "white") threw a giant pot party at my apartment. When the cops came, they found bags of weed lying everywhere and instead of starting to arrest everyone or shooting people, the police made my roommates and their friends flush the drugs down the toilet. Later, one of these roommates of mine ended up stealing weed from one of the drug dealers upstairs and I had to physically restrain said drug dealer from entering my apartment at 3am to beat up my roommate. This roommate also slashed the tires of his girlfriend's roommate's car and I had to end up taking him to the ER because while he was doing it the blade closed on his finger (ouch!). Guess what, this roommate was "white" but let's say that skin pigment is about the only thing he and I had in common. He dropped out of school later.
He was no less of a delinquent than anyone else who does dumb stuff as a teenager. However, you -- like those cops -- are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt for doing said dumb stuff than a kid like Trayvon Martin who's only crime was kicking the ass of the guy who was following and harassing him. I mean why would a glorified neighborhood watch guy need to carry a piece around anyway if he can just call the cops? I'll tell you why. He was looking to escalate the situation. He'd gotten that gun permit because he, like you, was scared and WANTED to use it. Anyway, I think it's just silly to bring a pistol to a fist fight.
I do think it's funny, though, that you keep "Recommending" your own comments.
Oh, and before I forget, I'm still waiting to see race defined (or even a complete list of categories) or a full list of its constituent characteristics.
I recommend them because they are excellent (although I realize self praise is no recommendation).
I didn't cite the meta-analysis by Roth as proof of superiority. I cited it as evidence of the existence of group differences on psychometric measures. That has been the case for decades. The causes of those differences continue to be debated. They probably won't be resolved until the genes linked to cognitive ability get identified. There are likely to be many of small effect. Even strict hereditarians note there are environmental factors involved in group differences too.
Come now, yes you did offer it as proof of superiority. Every single one of your posts and articles attempts to call out some group as having inherently inferior intelligence or a predeliction to violence where said groups are poorly defined to Iberian heritage or having dark skin.
However, to hopefully bring us to some agreement, to summarize (and consolidate) your points from the multiple treads:
1) Groups exist -- but we can't concretely define them since they're all subjective
2) Those groups are inherently different with regard to tendancies toward low intelligence, violent behavior, poor job performance -- but we don't know how or why (but we have a pretty good idea it's genetics since we don't know what all of those genes do yet and we're too lazy to incorporate job difficulty and other "environmental factors" into our models)
3) Prejudice based on these groupings *incomplete and subjective but vaguely correlated with the appearance of melanin or Iberian family heritage* is justified because articles continue to point out said differences despite never bothering to completely list/define the groups or deigning to account for explanatory variables.
I'm so sorry, Derb -- I mean, Excellency -- you're right. The world is divided into groups: People who believe your malarky and those who will continue to profit from the remarkable arbitrage opportunities inherent in undervaluing skill and talent based on ill-conceived, irrational, and unrealistic stereotypes.
Not even trying to address any of my arguments? My response: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

Dear Readers,
well i think divyanka is rite, i mean she the show needs her more since shes the main lead and say shava shava is going to end anyways at the finale, although it would've been nice to c her there, i totally agree with her
dulhann rocks, divyanka rocks n so does sharad
thnx...ya itz quite difficult to manage wid u doing daily soaps...nd we r wrng wen u compare juhi nd divyanka...bth r different nd d power or rate of endurance of stress is different 4 bth....divyanka u r superb in dulhann nd juz carry on d gud wrk dat u r doing..
Just like to say....Kumkum has a lot more characters than Dulhan does. Dulhan requires a lot of Vidya, along with Sagar and Sindoora.
nothing against juhi ofcourse but I definately think Divyanka was needed MUCH more!
agree with norzar....dats wat i wanted 2 say...
thanks for this
ad far as i know, divya did say when shava was about to start that she has requested production team to give her fewer scenes in dulhan,
while she is in shava???
plus if divya had made it to the final, what would she have done then???????
i am sure then she would have attended the final??/
as far as juhi si concerned she is the lead in kumkum and she too is required for most of the month in kk, but the quality in juhi is that she never complains. she manages it well, without bickering
We're all with you Divya... you have our full support!!
She took everything nice and was a great sport throughout the entire show, it mustve been so busy fr her the whole time.. and she improved so much!
thanks for the article!
i like here but she could have tried to make out some time for the SSS for a couple of hours
Divyanka did the right. She is right that Dulhann is more important then SSS. When compared to Juhi, i don't think that juhi works 30 days a month. Divyanka is working very hard, and she is needed in almost every scene. And Mouni is not the lead character, so it doesn't affect. Divyanka is the leading lady of BMTD. I agree that Juhi is also a leading lady, but she is not required for every single scenes. I'm sure Kumkum has too many characters but BMTD doesn't have too many characters in it.
I don't know why people are making it a big issue. Please don't bother my sweet divyanka :)
awwwww poor girl
people are reaaly mean :|

Cortana apps include Facebook, Twitter, Skype
Starting off with a bang is what Microsoft needed to do with their own long-awaited personal assistant Cortana.

Cortana has been revealed, as it were, at BUILD 2014, Microsoft's developers convention.

In his latest Op-Ed, the New York Times columnist rips the Republican presidential ticket for a health care plan that would deny potentially millions of Americans coverage in order to save money—all while proposing a trillion-dollar tax cut that would help the wealthiest Americans.
Some have written that Biden was too hot and overreacted to Obama's disengagement. But this misreads the net impact of the debate.

How did the vice presidential candidates do in their only debate of the campaign? Some saw Biden as overly aggressive. Others thought he pointed out the Romney/Ryan weaknesses where they needed exposing. Most agree the lively event did not change any minds, but the candidates pleased their bases. The "Left, Right & Center" commentators break down the debate and other issues on this week's program.

If the question is who did more to help his ticket, Joe Biden won the vice presidential debate by a mile.

Mitt Romney shares none of the libertarian Republican congressman's misgivings about escalating war in the Middle East, and on the marijuana question, the "famously puritanical Romney would likely bring us back to the era of 'Just Say No.' "

It's not surprising that in Thursday's vice presidential debate Paul Ryan didn't mention the millions of working poor who would suffer should he and Mitt Romney win in November, but I expected more from Joe Biden.
The look on Joe Biden's face said it all during his commanding performance in Thursday's vice presidential debate against Paul Ryan.
Joe Biden's job during Thursday's vice presidential debate is to smoke Paul Ryan out, exposing his fanaticism. And the best way to do this is to force him to take responsibility for the regressive budget he created as chairman of the House Budget Committee.

Finally, President Obama and union-busting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker have found an issue that they agree on: getting the regular union officials back into NFL games.
If Mitt Romney was waiting for a change of subject before releasing more tax returns, this Friday of a week-from-hell was that day.

Watching Mitt Romney talk about the 47 percent of Americans he says are freeloaders, I thought of Paul Ryan's mom, a Medicare recipient.
Unemployment is still above 8 percent, job gains aren't even keeping up with population growth, the economy is barely moving forward. And yet, according to most polls, the Romney-Ryan ticket is falling further and further behind.
"Saturday Night Live" got into the swing of election season with several political sketches that mocked such happenings as GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's gaffes and Clint Eastwood's much maligned Republican National Convention speech.
A look at the day's political happenings, including the 21st-century version of prohibition and Ohio Gov. John Kasich's comment about women that sounds like it's straight out of the 1950s.

Talking to volunteers, I saw the immensity of Obama's task, especially as the Romney-Ryan campaign and the Republican super PACs overwhelm the voters with misleading ads.
President Obama invoked "hope" and "change" in his DNC speech, but not in the same way he did in 2008. Instead, he presented a more subdued and realistic view of what his second term in office would look like if he is re-elected in November while trying to show Americans they are better off today than they were four years ago.
Highlights of the first day of the Democratic National Convention, including speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and keynote speaker Julian Castro, plus a video tribute to Ted Kennedy that included a not-so-subtle swipe at Mitt Romney.

Really bad RLP (I think)
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 09-01-2011 - 10:22pm
OK, ladies, I'm starting to get nervous. The past few days my discomfort has been increasing (sciatica, RLP, pressure, etc) just like it should now that my little one is not so little anymore. But this morning I woke up with pretty bad RLP. I laid back down and it didn't help. I went to work and it has gotten worse all day. I am now parked in my bed because I can't move hardly at all without feeling like I'm being stabbed in the lower right abdomen. As long as I'm completely still, no pain (which is why I'm assuming it's RLP). But moving even just a little is excrutiating. What the heck is going on? Has anyone ever experienced this before? With my last pregnancy, I would get the RLP from changing positions too fast but would relax for an hour or so and then it was fine. This won't seem to go away:smileysad: Anyone have any insight?
|Fri, 09-02-2011 - 5:46pm
I just got home from L&D - it was just really bad RLP:) I felt silly, of course. The thing that really had me worried was that I have a lot of BH contractions, but because of the RLP they felt like painful, labor-style contractions. Baby Girl was doing just fine. I had 4-5 contractions while I was there (about 1 per hour) and the OB was fine with that. Everything else checked out fine. They gave me Lortab to help with the pain - it did not. It definitely made it asier to stand and walk for a while, but when she moves she bumps her head against that ligament and it is very painful. The Lortab did not halp with that at all :( So I'm hanging out and resting for the weekend, since rest is supposed to be the best thing for RLP. Thanks for the support, ladies!
