The Republican Ascendancy, Quantified
At Real Clear Politics, Sean Trende and David Byler explicate their index of party strength. To compute their index, Trend and Byler calculate five components, which they weight equally: Our index is the sum of five parts: presidential performance, House performance, Senate performance, gubernatorial performance and state legislative performance. The first is measured by the party's performance in the previous presidential popular vote (NB: In this, and all other measurements, »
In which Rand Paul gives a snow job
This is what regular people hate about Washington: "How five Republicans let Congress keep its fraudulent Obamacare subsidies." It's an old story, updated most recently by Mark Leibovich in This Town. This particular case study comes to us via National Review's Brendan Bordelon. Reading it all the way through, we achieves a highly unpleasant clarity. Bordelon reports: The rumors began trickling in about a week before the scheduled vote on »
Is Corker-Menendez worse than nothing?
National Journal reports that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell moved yesterday to end debate on the Corker-Menendez bill, shortening what he had hoped would be an open amendment process out of concern that some "poison pill" amendment votes could potentially sink it. "We're going to move quickly," Senator McConnell explained. National Review's Joel Gehrke explored the procedural maneuvering: After Senator Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) and Senator Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) »
Mike Huckabee enters four years late
Mike Huckabee announced today that he is entering the race for president. He's considered by most a second-tier candidate for the Republican nomination. However, Huckabee proved in his last outing that he's an excellent campaigner/debater and capable of outperforming expectations. Even so, I can't help but think that Huckabee missed his best chance for the nomination by not entering the 2012 race. In his absence, Rick Santorum became the favorite »
Carly Fiorina to run for president and pursue the vice presidency
Carly Fiorina has announced that she is running for president. Fiorina disclosed her intention on ABC's Good Morning America show. She stated: "I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world; who's in it." In a sense, Fiorina is the Herman Cain of 2016. Both lack any experience in elected office, but both ran major businesses. Fiorina ran »
Lynch confirmed: DOJ lawlessness to continue
Yesterday, as John noted here, the Senate confirmed Loretta Lynch as Attorney General. Ten Republicans voted to confirm: Kelly Ayotte, Ron Johnson, Mark Kirk, Rob Portman, Thad Cochran, Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and Orrin Hatch. Ayotte, Johnson, Kirk, and Portman face difficult reelection campaigns in their Democrat-leaning or "50-50″ states. Note, though, that Pat Toomey, who likely faces an extremely tough race, cast a principled vote »
Obama is right, the Republican Senate is embarrassing
On Friday, President Obama lashed out at the Republican Senate for not confirming Loretta Lynch as Attorney General. "There are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far," Obama scolded. "This is an example of it." Doing his best impression of Harrison Ford in "Witness," Obama huffed: Enough, enough. Call Loretta Lynch for a vote, get her confirmed, let her do her job. This is embarrassing. You »
Rand Paul's gambit
With Rand Paul set to announce his bid for the presidency, the Washington Post reports that the Kentucky Senator is straying from his libertarian roots in an attempt to make himself acceptable to defense-oriented and religious conservatives. The Post cites his support for a proposed $190 billion increase in defense spending over the next two years; his signature of Tom Cotton's letter regarding a nuclear deal with Iran; and his »
Grant Starrett for Congress
Grant Starrett has announced that he's running for Congress in Tennessee's Fourth Congressional District. Last week, I introduced Grant to our readers and explained why I intend to support him. I'm not alone. Previously, Erick Erikson tweeted that he would support Grant if he enters the race. And today, Ramesh Ponnuru writes: I've met Starrett and was impressed by his intelligence and commitment to conservative causes. But even if he »
introducing Grant Starrett [Updated]
From 2011 through 2014, the House of Representatives was conservatism's only reliable line of defense against President Obama's leftist encroachments. It's quite possible that after 2016, conservatives will again need to look to the House to play this vital defensive role. To maintain control of the House, and to keep it in fighting trim, Republicans must run strong, principled conservatives — and not just for open and Democrat-held seats. We »
Beyond the phony war on amnesty
if the Republican Senators want to put up a fight on Obama's lawless executie amnesty — a big if — Curt Levey proposes a realistic and obvious plan in today's Wall Street Journal: "Immigration push back: Don't confirm his judges" (accessible via Google here). Levey writes; Congress's approval of unconditional funding for the Department of Homeland Security was an embarrassing setback in Republicans' struggle to respond to President Obama's unilateral »
Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, compare and contrast
Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton are similar in several respects. Both attended top Ivy League colleges and graduated from Harvard Law School. Both are extremely intelligent. Both were elected to the U.S. Senate as darlings of many conservatives. Neither was shy upon arrival. Both made their initial splash in committee hearings — Cruz when he took on Dianne Feinstein; Cotton when he said the Gitmo detainees can rot in hell. »
Michael Gerson's misguided attack on the Cotton letter
Michael Gerson, writing in the Washington Post, joins the chorus of critics of the letter to Iran drafted by Sen. Tom Cotton and signed by 46 of his Republican colleagues. According to Gerson, the worst aspect of the letter — the thing he considers "the real scandal" — is the procedure surrounding it. Gerson notes that the drafter, Cotton, has only two months experience in the Senate. But the letter »
Is Hugh Hewitt the GOP's Warwick? [Updated]
It is no secret that Hugh Hewitt is 1) our personal friend, 2) the guy who more than anyone else helped this web site get off the ground back in 2002, and 3) in our view, one of the most perceptive pundits on the contemporary scene.

Loneliness of the long-distance Rauner
Bruce Rauner attended Dartmouth as an undergrad, went on to Harvard Business School and made his name in business managing pension funds at Golder, Thoma, Cressey (later GTCR). He claims great success at GTCR overseeing the retirement investments of first responders, teachers and other Illinois workers. He rose to chairman of the firm. He is a public spirited man. In the American grain of successful businessmen, Rauner has become a »
Are Washington Republicans Incompetent?
It is almost unbelievable how badly Congressional Republicans have botched their opposition to President Obama's illegal executive amnesty and the funding of the Department of Homeland Security. The House, under John Boehner's direction, did the right thing: it passed a bill that fully funded DHS, but barred spending to implement the amnesty that has now been declared illegal by a federal court. The action then moved to the Senate, where »
Is Barack Obama Now, Or Has He Ever Been, a Christian? [Updated]
Suddenly, President Obama's religious beliefs are a subject of intense interest to America's reporters. This is a marked contrast with 2008, when Obama's religion ("God damn America!") was considered off limits by reporters and editors. It is odd, though: one politician who won't be asked about Obama's religion is the only one who plausibly could answer the question, Obama himself. It's not just Obama's religious beliefs, either. Ever since Rudy »

What has helped pull you through a dark time/depression
Having a pretty tough time these days, just wondering what some other members have used to help pull them through tough times.

After that, I spoke to family about my issues. I have a really close and supportive family, so that really helps. I talked it out with friends and I started feeling better and letting go of those bad feelings. And, no, there was no addiction to drugs and alcohol. But, they helped me enough to cope in peace for a while before I was ready to face the issue.
Of course, this is not for everyone. May even be controversial. But, this is what I did or it worked for me.

Near-suicidal once when I had a bad break up with a girl I was going to propose to, and after drinking a handle of Captain Morgan a day for a solid week. The only thing that got me through it was my labrador. Now I'm engaged to a far more superior amazing/beautiful/intelligent/incredible woman, so time has it's way of working itself out.

TV helps. Keep the TV on if you're depressed.
Accepting feeling bad. It's OK for things to be bad. You don't have to force yourself to feel a way that you can't feel.
Time. The passing of time is so important. Sometimes your only job in life will be just to exist as time passes, and it can be harder than anything else just to exist, but if you do, things do get better. It's not that they don't get worse again. But you can at least know it won't stay the same.
And if you can get lost for a while, it can help, although I know it's hard. Sometimes I can get lost in a trance doing something. I remember getting depressed and going here: http://www.multiplayertrivia.com to play online trivia and get lost in it.
I was actually cringing thinking someone would say exercise. I'm sure it does help, but I know from experience it's the last thing you want to hear if you're depressed. You could be the first to try it! I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. Turn on QVC! I think it's as least as good as exercise for depression.

been there in the past and am in somewhat of a rut now. I found relief in simplifying my life. I dedicated my life to my instrument, my health and the people I cared about. I got through a very deep depression at that time. I've found myself in another place these days I didn't anticipate and I've realized that it's a result of allowing myself to complicate my life. I am now at the very beginning stages of simplifying again. It's MUCH more difficult this time around because I am older and have more responsibilities. But I believe I can do it again. Simplifying your life just feels like a weight being lifted off your shoulders. I speak from experience FWIW...

Fake it till you feel it.
I read an experiment that said even forced laughter has mood elevating properties. It still releases endorphins in your brain.
Try to find reasons to laugh, even if you are not feeling it. Live comedy clubs, TV, movies, etc are good settings to force laughter.
I know it isn't much, but I do hope it helps. If nothing else, don't be afraid to tell your doctor.

OP.. Actually I am reluctant to these kinds of admissions, but I too am having a hard time..
As a previous post mentioned, for things like loneliness I try to keep the TV, music on throughout the night/day even during sleep - it breaks the pain of silence
I don't really know if this is a treatment, but this is just what I do - it may not ease a whole lot, but at least you can feel something is there for you..

Making sure to eat properly, go outside, see my friends and proactively doing anything that's required to solve whatever problem is getting me down.
That and MDMA.
Alcohol has never helped, not even really temporarily, MDMA has often helped me emotionally digest what's on my mind and talk it out with those close to me.

Threw myself into my work. Smoked a lot of weed as well but I'm unsure if that helped matters. All in all, I feel keeping your mind distracted and busy helps a lot.
Speaking to friends about it is also a healthy thing to do.
|Nov 1, 2012, 06:53 AM
I usually stay out of threads like this one, but I'm quite concerned about the "drugs and alcohol" suggestions. I understand the idea of numbing pain using drugs and alcohol, but there is a significant risk that drugs (depending on the drug) and alcohol could seriously exacerbate the depression. Also, alcohol acts as a disinhibiter, that is it reduces the capacity to appropriately inhibit self destructive behavior.
How one copes with depression must be determined by the type and severity of depression.
A loss (death of a loved one, broken relationship) can often cause an appropriate feeling of depression, which softens with time. Severe feelings of depression without some external referent is of much more concern.
Most importantly, the severity of the intensity, and duration of the depression, are key variables as to how to handle the bad patch. Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, changes in sleeping and eating patterns, suicidal ideation or PLANNING, loss of energy, inability to enjoy things that used to be enjoyable...which last more than 2-3 weeks really require some professional attention. Especially thinking about suicide, or thinking about how to kill oneself require immediate attention.
I'm sorry if it seems that I am pushing seeking professional attention. I'm not saying that anyone needs to rush out to a shrink because one is down in the dumps after a relationship breakup, or some other significant loss. Not all depression is "abnormal". It is, as mentioned above, the severity and duration of the depression that should be the deciding factor.
I hope those of you who are feeling really crappy ( a technical shrink term) right now feel better soon. I'm not sure drugs and alcohol is the answer, though.

On the other hand, some psychedelics and MDMA can be life-changing, permanently, after a single dose. It's a pity they are locked behind red tape and propaganda because they are a very powerful tool for altering your perspective. MDMA is incredibly effective for working through problems, notably ones that are far too traumatic to ponder without emotional breakdown. It needs to be used respectfully because it's not totally harmless but then, what is? Information is harm-reduction.
Your post isn't inaccurate but I thought I'd give the drugs idea some merit.

A while ago I was getting pretty depressed due to a number of little things, and believe-it-or-not changing my diet helped. I used to eat traditionally healthy foods, as in lots of fruit and vegetables, no fat bla bla bla... However now I eat a lot of saturated fat and other things that are traditionally considered 'bad' for you, and don't eat vegetables or anything at all any more. And I feel much better now, both mentally and physically The 'problems' that I had are still there I guess, but I simply don't care about them, they seem trivial now (probably were all along hahah). Everyone tells me that my arteries are going to clog up and I'm going to die, but so far so good

Another coping strategy I've personally found useful is exercise. Go for a run, lift some weights -- whatever you enjoy -- and it might both help you get a sense of mastery of some aspect of your life, take your mind off things or help you work through them, as well as improve your sleep.
There is a theory which states that if anyone ever discovers what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Weed helped me a lot. And I don't mean go crazy and smoke all day, once every few weeks or so would suffice (although I would do it more often, 1-2 times a week maybe). I'm not sure what it is but afterwards I just didn't overthink things and generally felt better (and I mean like the days after, not while high lol)

Ive been through the depression stage, actually still am. Ive been going through it around 4 years now. Its not an easy part of life thats for sure. I won't go through all of the details of what I went through this last time but I ended up in a psychiatric hospital for 10 days. They prescribed me with medication when I got out and thats that. That was around the middle of August, this year.
I smoked weed to just get away from it all, in fact still do. It really does help but when it wears off you're back to where you started. Another thing that I learned is; do breathing exercises. This helps more than you will ever know. Yoga and meditation helps a lot as well. Ive been doing those three things frequently since I got out of the hospital a few months back. It helps a lot. Guided meditation works wonders for me.
So, I take medication and I see a psychologist and a psychiatrist.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This 3 bedroom apartment is on top of an elegant Bed and Breakfast called Taylor House near scenic Jamaica Pond in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston. You have a 'kitchenette' with sink, fridge, and microwave for the privacy of your party. You can see views of the neighborhood from the cupola that tops the house and is accessible only through your suite. Many fine restaurants, shops and public transportation are in walking distance. Free off-street parking is also available if needed, but Boston is a very walkable city.
If we appear full for your time period, we also have a Bed and Breakfast at TaylorHouse.com with many other options.
We had a wonderful time at the Taylor house... clean and charming rooms, inn keepers friendly and helpful, great breakfast and so many things to see and do close by. Jose... thank you for your care and attention to details:) We will be back.
Dave & Daryl have made our stay wonderful and memorable. The location, amenities are good. It's quiet and enjoyable.
Dave is very helpful - provides all details and maps for us, while breakfast prepared by Daryl is awesome! I look forward to the breakfast every morning.
Thanks to both for being a wonderful host!
The Taylor House exceeded our expectations. We had never been to Boston before and were coming in to run the Boston Marathon, so we were a little leery about being so far out and a little leery about how the 3 bedroom suite was laid out, but it worked out perfectly! The 3 bedroom suite is at the top of the house, so it is totally private and the living room is perfect for a private gathering place just for the 3 bedroom suite. If you don't have a car, the walk to the train station isn't too bad, but if you have a bunch of luggage, it may be burdensome. But there is also the bus station which is much closer and the schedule for it works out about as well as the train schedule. If you haven't been to Boston, check out the MTBA (public transit) and you'll find the schedules make staying at the Taylor House easy if you don't have a car. There are a number of shops and places to eat within walking distance. Nothing too fancy, but decent places to eat. The breakfasts were outstanding and Dave is an amazing host. I highly recommend staying at the Taylor House.

Colts' passing game scuffles a bit without Wayne
The Indianapolis Colts know that no single player can replace wide receiver Reggie Wayne.
Still, Indy will need to be more effective and balanced in its passing game since Wayne is out for the season with a torn right ACL.
The Colts continued their winning ways with a 27-24 comeback victory against the Houston Texans last Sunday night.
But they got off to a slow start in their first game without their 13-year veteran receiver who stabilized the offense and provided a veteran presence for Andrew Luck.
T.Y. Hilton caught seven passes for 121 yards and three touchdowns against Houston, but Indy still is looking for more from the rest of the receiving group heading into Sunday's home game against the St. Louis Rams.
The Colts say the passing game has the talent to step forward with receivers Darrius Heyward-Bey and Griff Whalen, running back Trent Richardson and tight end Coby Fleener.
''This team has always bought into the mentality and the mindset of next man up,'' Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.
''We haven't wavered from that. They haven't wavered from that. Fortunately, we've been successful and we've been able to overcome. So, from a confidence standpoint, that's why these guys don't flinch.''
Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said Luck trusts his receivers, so his approach won't change.
''I think Andrew has done a pretty good job of distributing the ball to different guys, and that's a big part of our system and our approach,'' he said. ''Defensively, they can't zero in on one guy and scheme up a way to take that one guy away. Those guys (other receivers), I think they're up to the challenge.''
Luck was one of the league's most efficient passers in the first half of the season, but he completed just 18 of 40 passes against Houston in his first game as a pro without his favorite target. Hilton noticed things were much different without Wayne early.
''It wasn't the same not having him out there in that first half,'' Hilton said. ''So we went back in there the second half, adjusted - we had to man up. Since 87 wasn't there, somebody had to make a play.''
Hilton already was starting to garner attention. Now, as Luck's No. 1 target, he'll be an even bigger focus of defensive game plans. He enters 12th in the AFC with 533 yards receiving.
''His numbers will certainly change because of the loss of Reggie, which is very unfortunate,'' Rams coach Jeff Fisher said.
''It appears that obviously he's able to do the same things. They're moving him around, asking a lot of different things of him. He's got exceptional speed. He can make the tough catch. He's got run-after-catch ability.''
There were bright spots on Sunday. Fleener had three catches for 64 yards, and he caught a 2-point conversion in the fourth quarter that gave Indianapolis a 27-24 lead with four minutes left.
Richardson, the Colts' running back, caught two passes for 33 yards against Houston after catching just two passes in the previous five games combined. The Colts are trying to find ways to get him more opportunities in the passing game.
''We know he's got that ability,'' Pagano said. ''I think as he gets more comfortable with the scheme and terminology and all those types of things and the game, the situation, the score, all those things kind of line up - if the stars all line up we'd love to get him in space more and get the ball in his hands more.''
Not all the connections went well on Sunday. The Colts targeted Whalen nine times, and he caught just three passes. Heyward-Bey was targeted six times and caught just one pass.
Luck said he's looking ahead.
''I think you hopefully learn from your mistakes,'' he said. ''We did some good things. It's nice to say, `We can win without Reggie in the lineup.' It's a mental sort of checklist thing that's nice. Hopefully, you learn from the mistakes more than anything from the past game. We're 100 percent onto St. Louis now.''

Service Agreement
Service Agreement Safeguards Power Supply Offshore
Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), a Norwegian oilfield service company, has awarded a five-year Service Agreement to Wärtsilä covering maintenance of the power plants onboard three offshore FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading) vessels. The agreement applies to the Petrojarl Foinaven, the Petrojarl Varg and the Petrojarl 1, which are operating in the North Sea and the north Atlantic ocean. With Wärtsilä maintaining the vessel's power plants at all times, Petroleum Geo-Services is able to concentrate on its core business of offshore capabilities in floating production and storage facilities. The ongoing power plant servicing provides the vessels with optimized availability together with cost savings, risk mitigation and financial predictability. The new Service Agreement is an extension of the first Service Agreements between Petroleum Geo-Services and Wärtsilä which were signed back in June 1999 for the Petrojarl Foinaven's 51 MW power plant, in November 1999 for the Petrojarl Varg's 36.7 MW power plant and in January 2002 for the Petrojarl 1's 12 MW power plant. Wärtsilä has had a permanent power plant maintenance crew onboard the three vessels at all times since January 2002. During overhauls, Wärtsilä sends additional service crew to complete the job within the time required. Wärtsilä also supplies all spare parts and consumables. The purpose of this commitment is to keep unplanned downtime as short as possible.

nice work.... around how many labels did you use?
This is a discussion on Cigar band table (image heavy) within the Cigar Pictures forums, part of the The Gallery category; Well, this all started off with me wanting to refinish the top of my bar in my basement. Not having ...
Well, this all started off with me wanting to refinish the top of my bar in my basement. Not having much experience, I decided to start on an old table that was left by the previous homeowner. This table was quite ugly, and I originally put it in our garage sale for $5 and it remained unsold. I then moved it into the garage and it served as a convenient place to store cutters, misc. stuff, and a nice spot to place a drink. The top was pretty much destroyed by myself for placing sweating glasses on it, and the veneer cracked and split.
Total time: about 4-5 hours
Products used:
Palm sander
painters tape
Matte Mod podge (Glue)
about 100 cigar labels
Pair of scissors
Rust Oleum Painters touch Satin Dark Walnut spray paint
Minwax clear gloss Polyurethane
Wooster Pro Paintbrush
Small cheap artist brush
One new knob
I never thought this would turn into anything nice, so unfortunately, I did not take any pictures until the top was already done. I also originally did not plan on painting the table, so I kinda worked backwards and painted after competing the top.
To give you an idea on what the table looked like before:
The ugly drawer with the taped on paper lifting:
I started off sanding the top down smooth as best as I could. After that was done, I started applying the labels making a boarder around the top of the table. I used the artist brush to apply the mod podge glue to each label. Amazingly, I applied all of the labels straight through and it took about 3.5 hours. After that was completed, I used blue painters tape around the areas that did not have any labels. This was to prep for the polyurethane.
Throughout the next week, I applied 10 coats of the minwax using a wooster pro brush. I originally wanted to have it where you could not feel the bands, but after 10 coats, that was not happening. I had seen other products that would accomplish this, but they are a bit pricy (remember, I'm hoping to do my bar top and now I have a ton of poly left over for that job.
When I was finally satisfied with the top, I used the blue painters tape around the edge of the table and also used some newspaper so that I would not get any paint on the top. I spent one day out in the garage using the spray paint to finish off the table.
After it finally dried it was time to unveil the final result:
10 coats sure adds some shine:
The top (had to turn off the flash to reduce the glare:
As I side note, I would advise not to use thin paper labels. In the top picture, you can see how the Liga Privada band in the top right corner soaked in some of the poly and discolored the label.
Some tools of the trade:
Next up is the bar top which I will probably hold off until winter time. I'm thinking I may just do a boarder of sports cards as opposed to cigar labels. I never realized how much labels it would take just to do this table. I guess its a good excuse to replenish my supply of cigars. Hope you enjoyed.
nice work.... around how many labels did you use?
- Sin City Bomber -
Very nice looking table, can't wait to see your bar.
Best regards, Tony
This is awesome man! I've actually been saving my bands for awhile to make a table. Im glad you posted how to do this!
Thanks for sharing 8ball!!
Great job Eric! That came out really nice, thanks for sharing the pictures of it. It gives me an idea as I have a similar end table that's just been sort of sitting around waiting on our next "neighborhood trash day" when the garbage man will pick up such things but I think instead it will turn into a nice new smoking table to store my tins in.
The best cigar I ever smoked will be the next one I try.
Great job, Eric! Always like the idea of recycling.
I don't always drink beer,,,
OK, yes I do
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
― Jimi Hendrix
Nice - and love the "The Trooper" poster on the fridge!
Up the irons!!!!!!!!
looks great! thanks for sharing
Check out my Tobacco Inventory Spreadsheet
Did this with a guitar, Miniwax, and beer labels a long time ago. LOL I no longer have the time for either
Ten coats of urethane is impressive. There's enough finish on there that you could actually wrap black #220 sandpaper around a block of wood and wet sand the high spots down. The runoff will be a light milky texture and the high spots would be exposed after a quick wipe as dull streaks. When the top evolves to be all dull, wipe it off with clean cold water and let dry and recoat.
You may already may know that, and everybody's got an opinion so don't take that the wrong way. Your table doesn't look like it really needs it. You could do finish forever ! I did my Cutlass with basecoat / clearcoat and shot the clear coat so many times the only reason I stopped is because the third trip to the supplier to get more, he was finally all out.
Definately a nice smoking table. I am going to need something similar for when I smoke in the garage, for my first "cigar winter". Crap guess I might get into this again.....LOL
That table is beautiful.
Being new to the game I was kinda just saving the band because it was a new experience, but now I have something to look foreword to while collecting.
You take my life but I'll take yours too
Your fire your musket but I'll run you through
And when you're waiting for the next attack
You better stand, there's no turning back....
(drum fill)
The bugle sounds as the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As you plunge into a certain death....
I swear I must have listened to that record 1000 times all the way through....the soundtrack to 8th grade.
Nice work on the table. I have a lot of bands set aside for a project of similar epic-ness...
I'm completely unbiased and 100% open minded. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
That's awesome.
My wife tells me to do something like that with all my labels but I haven't stepped up to it yet.

still getting nauseas 17 days pp??
Proud Army Wife, Audrey 8/21/2010 gold boobies. Reagan 5/9/2012, Hyperemesis survivor.
Comments (5)
Yes, I threw up the first few days after delivery. Had no desire to eat for 3 weeks lost 35lbs since 4/16 birth of dd. Nauseous off and on for the past month. At times I feel like Im going to vomit any second but havent yet. I suffered 9 months of severe HG. I do have plenty of anti-nauesea meds but havent reached to take them yet, hoping it will subside soon. The dr said that my body is reacting to releasing all the hormones from pregnancy. ugghh.. not a good feeling..
the first time, it only took 3 days to resolve, but the second time, it did take me abount a month before it quit completely and never came back. I hope it goes away really soon!!
Stephanie (35) DF (29) DD(7) DD (5/4/12)
It took me six months for the nausea to completely disappear, although it was almost never bad enough to the point of needing to medicate or actually vomit. Unfortunately, the only thing that I found to resolve it was time. If it's really bad though make sure to tell your doc so that you can at least get more meds. It will let up, I promise!
Liat Hadassah 10.28.10
Unfortunately, it can take a while. I was nauseas for about three weeks after the baby came. I hope you're feeling much better soon!!!!

Love this place!Posted on 12 / 28 / 2011
The portions are huge for the price. I usually order the General Tso's mock chicken. There are two sizes. The largest size is impossible not to take home. The smaller order takes up half the plate and the other half is filled with white rice. I've taken that home for leftovers before as well though.
I've also tried the sesame noodles which were delicious. I really like their spring rolls.

Yesterday Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes ruled that the appeals to his earlier holding that Detroit was entitled to proceed in its Chapter 9 Bankruptcy proceeding would be allowed to bypass a federal district court and head straight to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
What remains to be seen is whether Judge Rhodes will ask the appeals court to take up the matter in an expedited fashion. Attorneys for the city's pension funds contended that the expedited appeal would not hinder Detroit's ongoing mediation with its creditors or the city's ability to submit its restructuring plan to the court, which plan is slated to be submitted in early January.
